  Speaker 1: the link to the recap me and the homie AC did.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: His name's not the Homie act, by the way, I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: just say homie all the top, but his name is Ac.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Episode that me and AC did where we kind of
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: recap that rollout and generally speaking, we were satisfied with it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It was dope to have It was just dope to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: have a rollout of MC's who were still active and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: for them to have this amount of attention in the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: hip hop in today's hip hop game.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Well, right after that was over, you know, and the
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: new year was upon us.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Mass Appeal on their Instagram put up a post that
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: said mass appeal. Imagine that take your ticket, and at
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the bottom it says anything is possible right on the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: image which I should be shown right now, and it
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: said in our next move and it puts stay tuned
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: right twenty twenty five, legend has it twenty twenty six,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: imagine that. Then not that long ago, they put up
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a post that had j Cole and Kendrick as that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: image that everybody uses of them together, I guess backstage
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of the show, and they said massapil says, what joint
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: album would make Wait, what joint album would you make happen?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: If you could imagine that? Now, keep in mind, well
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: they are so said this. Never getting that Child Rebel
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Soldier album hurt my heart. Now remember their original posts,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the imagine that right at the bottom anything is possible.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Now when they posted that, you know, of course everybody's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: wanted that album forever, right, They've wanted that specific album forever.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: J Cole and Kendrick together on one album, but we
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: never got it. And we know what happened with the battle.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: We know what J Cole did prior to that to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: kind of tick Kendrick off, and we know where Kendrick
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: went with it, and we know where J Cole eventually
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: didn't go with the battle, right, So it had me intrigued, like, hmmm,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: anything is possible, And a lot of people was like, now,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happ because a blah blah
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Well one of two things, right, it
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: could have been happening in the entire time, right, we
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: don't know when these guys could have mended their situation
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: or just talked, right, We don't know when Mass appeal
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and probably NAS.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: We look, we know what J Cole feel about NAS.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, his latest song is basically a NAS record,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: or like paying homage to a NAS record but taking
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: it a step further, right, And he also made a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: song called I Let Nads Down. I think I let
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: NAS down or whatever. We know how J Cole feels
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: about NAS. But also when Kendrick on gn X, when
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Kendrick got a Super Bowl nod, he felt like everybody
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: decided to hate and say how much he didn't deserve it,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: or they said nothing at all, and he said, only
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: NAS congratulated me.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Publicly, right, remember that?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And then he went on on G and X to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: do a song a rendition of the song from the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: same Steal Madic album that featured rewind that J Cole
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: just did right.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Earlier? What was that when GNX dropped twenty twenty five.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: He did a song that clearly was all I need
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: is one mic call I deserve it all. So here
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you have J Cole and Kendrick doing evolutions of NAS
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: records from the same Steal Madic album and now the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: first post in twenty twenty six for this imagine that
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: series where they say anything is possible, you have that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I think I just it's all that y'all we getting
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: that album.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It's going to be the last one because it's probably
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the biggest one, right as far as projects. But that aside,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: we knew they were talking about a situation with duos
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: like that was the theme.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: What duos would you want to see together? Right? So
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: J Cole and.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Kendrick is a huge, right, that's one people will even
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: if you don't like them, you will check it out
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to see what they do as a group. But then
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: they posted something recently, what's the best one producer album ever?
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Duos again MC and one producer? What's your pick?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Here to the person who said Thriller to Shaye, right, Well, yeah,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: we know because when it comes to Michael Jackson and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Quincy Jones, there is no other duo better duo. We
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: know Stevie's out there. But the image they chose to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: post when they said what's the best one producer album ever?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Is a picture of Alchemists and Currency And if you
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: know anything about the project that Alchemists and Currency put
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: together in the early two thousands or the twenty tens,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I think it was.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I think it was the twenty tens.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Hip hop heads loved that album, but we never really
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: got a true sequel to that album. Now, some may say,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: just like with the Kendrick and j Coles situation, that nah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you know J Cole's getting ready drop.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: His album and roll out. He's getting ready to do
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: that in February.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Remember legend has it ran through the summer and ended
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: in December. That could be the last project, which means
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: j co would have two projects in twenty twenty six.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: It's not unheard of, right, But also.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: This pairing would be much easier to do, right, Alchemists
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and Currency. But guess what as your scroll, there's Gangstar
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: there because they're putting up everybody else's stuff right, it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Mob Deep there. What is this Big Boston. I don't
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: know what this is. I'm sorry, y'all. MF Doom and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: mad Lib right, Freddie Gibbs and mad Lib like, and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: then Alchemists and Currency Covert, Cool, j Ruted Damager and Premier.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I think this is easy and Buck Wild that's not true.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Somebody put Wu tang whatever. But obviously they're promoting what
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: people say. But this one guy, easily, he knows what's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: happening because the lead image is the one thing that
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: hip hop has won a sequel to that can happen easily.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Remember Alchemist was a part of the Mob Deep situation.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And let me just go back real quick.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not displaying this, but you know I'm talking about
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: it because I believe there was also multiple pictures with
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the J Coast and Kendrick situation. So they said what
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: joint album would you make happen if you could? And
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: there was first image was J Cole and Kendrick. Second
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: image was Lil Wayne and Jules. Remember that was rumored
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Joel's and that was rumored for a minute. Kanye and Loope.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I think I want that one, that's for sure. A
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: ghost Face and MF Doom. If that one happens, Mac
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Miller and Pharrell. I'm almost positive there's a they have
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: an album and a trump but I just don't think
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. But that would be crazy. A SAP
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: now this is a SAP oh and schoolboy Q. I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: don't know if I want that. I think there's somebody
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: no offense to a SAP Rocky, but I think there's
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: someone who you can probably pair that'll be a better parent.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: But you never know that Perry could be ill. So
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Master Pio's theme.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Is duos, right, whether that's one producer and one rapper
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: like Nas and Primo did to end off of the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: last series Legend has it, or two rappers. But in
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the case of j Cole and Kendrick, J Cole is
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: also a producer, So you see what I'm saying, producing
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: rap it's gonna be interesting. I know one thing, and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I've said this. I said this in a group chat
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: earlier this week. You cannot tease these types of connections
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: J Cole and Kendricks specifically. People have been wanting that
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: for a very long time. You can't tease it if
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you don't have it Currency and Alchemists. I could believe
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that that's gonna happen, Joe Well's.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: And Lil Wayne maybe.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: But I don't see it, and I don't want it,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to be honest, that was unless unless they're sitting on
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: an album that they did in the past. But I
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: don't want them to when anything new, right, and it
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: would be new to us because it would be something unreleased.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I just don't know if that's gonna happen. MF.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Doom in Ghost Face we want that. We want that
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: now we know we know MF. Doom is not here,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: but neither was Big Al Prodigy and Dave of De
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: La Soul. So I'm excited to see what happens. I
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: like the teasers. I just hope when they announce them,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: even if it's seven albums again, that it's interesting and exciting,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: just like it was before every time we got a
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: new album from artists.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So we'll see next.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: So if you watch this podcast or listen to this podcast,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you know my feelings on rock Marciano right, I don't
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: feel like the man is whack.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: He's not whack.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan of him as an MC right.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I hear bars and I'm like, oh, okay, that
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: was crazy. Sometimes I hear bars and I'm like, what
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: this is nonsense? Right, Like you know, I opened up
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the pack of noodles, like to show you that I
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: open your noodle.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Come on, dog, what what is that? What are you saying?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: And I get it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Some of you new fans and casual fans, when you
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: understand the line, you think you have ascended to the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: top of hip hop intellect, and you haven't. I've been
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: listening for so long, I've been writing for so long,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I've been hosting hip hop.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I've done everything in hip hop fan.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I don't have to be famous to you, but I
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: know bars when I hear them. But that's not why
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: people like Rock Marciano. Only it's the aesthetic of him, right,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: like currency is. I wouldn't say, I know his nickname
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: is spitter, but I don't think he's nice like that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: He never had me like YO carried a one Oh dude,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: that's what he said. He never had me like that.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: But I think his lyrics are cool, and his flow
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: is cool, and his vibe is cool. That's why I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: know there are a lot of people who like Rock Marciano. Again,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he don't have no bars. That's not true.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying overall, I don't like his delivery that
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: more than anything, his delivery that much. So I have
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: songs I like here and there. I pick and choose,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: but sometimes it's tough for me to nail down the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: album and say that's my favorite and for me to
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: get excited for the next thing. But I always check
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: for it, you know why, because definitely as a producer,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I love his choices in production. And he dropped the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: brand new album called six five six. It has twelve tracks.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: It's only thirty two minutes, which is fine. You heard
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: everything I said, Like, my attention span would be low anyway,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: And if you've been here for reviews before, you know
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: how it goes down for me when it comes to reviews.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I gave it three listens. My first listen is just
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to you know, get my impressions, just press play and
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: listen to what's Then my second listen is to dig
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit deeper into you know, what he's saying
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and how he's saying it, and how the song sound
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and the beats and the sequence and it just basically
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the details of the album, and my third listen is
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: just to confirm my thoughts and for those who need
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: quick reviews, it's okay, it's cool.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not going crazy over it. I can't say early.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: That it's one of the best of the year already
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: because I don't feel that way. But when he opened
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the album with the song trick Bag, I was like,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I think I want more of this, Like I want
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: more of what I'm hearing here, and I think on
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: this album you get more of that. And it's in between,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: you know, different things here and there, but at the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: end of the day, I like it. The only feature
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: on this album I believe is Eric Holden, who he
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: sounds dope rapping next to Rock Marciano, and I feel like,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I wanted a album.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: That, you know, they was like a duo album.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Is so Eric Holden is on every song because I
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: feel like he's a very different vibe. Rock Marciano by
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: himself is a particular vibe. Right, It's cool, you know
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It is rich, it's street that like
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that's that's kind of like the whole feeling behind us,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Like the mystique is what really makes the music, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I think he creates the proper production to accompany that.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So for me, like songs like trick Bag, I really
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: like hate his love Vanity is dope to me. Good
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: for you, there's enough on here. Even you got a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: song called easy Bake Oven Like I like these records.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna complain, but I'm not gonna hold you
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: like I feel like when it comes to rock Marciano,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I as far as recent projects, and I know everybody
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: likes The Elephant Man's Bones and I liked some of it,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: but I just didn't like it as much as everybody else.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I just feel like, for me as a listener, sometimes,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: who's an MC who knows hip hop since you know
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I was born Basically, I just feel like, for me,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: he's an a choir taste, And that's fine because you
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: know who else is an acquiet taste kid cutting, But
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: sometimes if he has a song I like, I'm rock
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: with it. It's the same way with rock Marciano. If
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: he has a song or an album I like, I'll
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I have no problem playing it. I'm not one of
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: those people when I say I don't like something or
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not calling it the greatest that means I hate
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: it and I hate that person.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: No, it's just not for me.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I know people who can't stand what Side Gun and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of west Side Gun vibe is similar and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: approach to lyrics. In some ways, it's similar to rock Marciano,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: but they they're very different.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Also, mainly west Side Gun's voice is so unique.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why I like him, right
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: is he has a unique voice, and then you know
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: there's a visual, you know, with the fashion and all that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Rock Marciano is the same thing.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Without that voice, a deeper voice and a little bit
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: more bars. So if you're thinking about checking this out,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, if you're a rock Marciano fan, I'm
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: curious when it comes to his catalog, and not that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you should rank this against some of his best, but
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: do you like this? Because I can't say I've been
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: a fan forever. I'm in and out of his music
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: for the most part, But those who like rock Marcy
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: is my guy.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I check for him all the time. How does this
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: album sound to you?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Because I would think a hardcore rock Marciano fan is
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: probably gonna like this.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I would think a person who's looking for.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You know, or looking to get away from you know,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the mumble rap, looking to get away from the streets
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I'll kill you in this way. Who are typically like
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: one note and how they talk about it and looking
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: for a flow that's unique and interesting to them, and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Rock Marciano might be that guy. In six five six,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's a cool album. It's cool, you know,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And dare I say I like it better than what
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: he did with Premire you know. I felt like some
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: of those songs were cool, but the beats didn't really
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: match what we used to hearing for Rock Marciano. So
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: leave your review in the common section below, especially if
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: you're a hardcore fan of Rock Marciano. You don't need
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: me to like it as much as you, but I'm
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: curious about how you feel about it. And lastly, say
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: so y'all know, man, I don't really do I didn't Honestly,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I really don't do a bunch of like arguing online
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: because why, For one, I don't have the time.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I have like three three jobs.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not lying right, probably more than that because considering
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I'm married with kids. Also, sometimes people will post things
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: online because it's a hot take or debate.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Right. Some people just want to debate. You.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Some people may not like the person who they're posing
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the question against as far as like the subject matter,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and they just want to find something to find a
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: hill to stand on. And that hell this week is
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Jadakids versus Common and specifically their catalogs now Shout out
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to Tony from the Dome podcast right here on YouTube.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: We've done eighty.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Episodes of a series called That Time and hip Hop.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Obviously we chop it up about hip hop. Tony is
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: way more active on Twitter than I am when it
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: comes to debating these things, and he actually did a
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: video about Jadakiss versus Common, But I was thinking about
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: it myself, and when it comes to just the MCN,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's very.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Debatable right too.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: This subject matter is so different it's almost difficult to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: compare them because what's dope about Common might not be
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: dope about Jadakus. What's dope about Jadakis may not be
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: as dope when you're talking the Common, right, So what's
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the difference. While Jadakiss is probably most concent record and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: maybe his biggest hit was the song why Right, but
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: what's dope about that record is not only what he did,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: but the fact that he doesn't talk about that type
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: of stuff that often, if at all, right, per album
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you may get one or two tracks, whereas Common that's
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: his fabric, that's what he's made of, and that's not
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: all he talks about. But if you were going to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: call him a conscious rapper, no one would say, no,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: he's not.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: He's a gangster rapper. He's not.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: But he doesn't only rap about being conscious, just like
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Jadakiss didn't only rap about the streets. And you can
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: flip it on his head and say the same thing
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: about Common. Right, what's the most gangster record he's made?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: What the corner you know? Or what's the stolen moments
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: you know? Or maybe another record? But is it as
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: street as hearing it come from somebody like Jadakus? You
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: already know what it's about when a run up in
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: your house, put the gun up in your mouth, get
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the money out the couch, hearing you out for census
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: perhaps for instance, I'm saying there's different levels. It's difficult
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to compare those two. But if we're just gonna compare
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: them for what they are and specifically their catalogs, it's
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: no contest. Common's catalog is superior to Jadakis's catalog. I
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: don't care what type of hip hop you like, you
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: can probably only name two Jadakis albums that you can
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: stand on say these are dope?
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Common did that he?
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I think he put out like three in a row
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Resurrection one day it all makes sense, like water for chocolate.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Then he has b and he has Fine It Fever.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Then he has the Dream of the Believer, which everybody
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: thought was dope. But you know, he got some of
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the albums now you done forgot about it, and then
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you can fast forward way further and he got the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: joint Auditorium Value one with Pete Rock. I'm not even
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: naming all the albums I think are good, but when
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: you go to Jadakiss, and I don't feel as strongly
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: as far as like dislike than everybody else does. But
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Jadakiss doesn't have as many albums, and he definitely doesn't
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: have as many good to great albums. Honestly he has.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I think his debut is his best, but there's a
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: lot of skips there that y'all don't remember, but they're there.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: And his second album, which was probably his more commercial
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: album or his biggest, This album because I liked the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: variety that was there, but it just didn't carry over
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: to the other albums, which I believe he had three
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: more three or four more or something like that. It's
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: mixtapes are dope, but those aren't albums. So I feel
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: like this whole debate is coming from people who either
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: didn't know Jadakiss was dope or forgot he was dope,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: and they saw the verses and they latched onto what
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Jadakiss was doing, And then you thought about Common because
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: you wasn't outside when Common Records were crazy and said
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Jadakis is better than I think.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, it just comes down
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the preference. Now, I'm a fan of both.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I may say that about Jadakiss albums,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: but I have them all because I'm a fan.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Same thing about Common Common.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: We could flip it the other way right out of
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the whack albums from each who has the wackedts? Common
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: hands down has the wackts. That EMC that is the
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: whackest album he's made. Electric Circus isn't bad, It's just
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: different from what he's made. But but that record that
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: MC or EMC or whatever it was called, was trash.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Jada. Kids don't have one of those.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: But he does have albums with questionable features, questionable hooks
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: which kind of exists on most of his albums, and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: in some cases questionable beats. So it's one of those
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: things where I get it right. You got your guy.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: You have enough from that person to feel like you
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: could stand on the hill and say Jada is better.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: And you're naming things that are not albums, because you know,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: when you start talking about albums, you probably haven't heard them.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Jadakins was dropping albums and I wasn't seeing nobody saying nothing.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I was in the gym listening to Top five Data Alive.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I was skipping some, but nobody was talking about it
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: because they didn't like it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: He did the verses. Now they act like they've been
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: here the entire time. You haven't.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: You don't have the context of being there when Jada's dropped,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: when Common dropped each time, and listening to make proper judgment.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: But I posed this question to you, the listeners, the
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: viewers of this podcast, who do you prefer who's better?
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Even who's better lyrically?
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: That I don't know, that's just too it's just too different.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: For me to judge.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: But who do you think has the better catalog, I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: say comment, What do you say? Leave your comments in
• 32:54
