• 1:51
  Speaker 1: this channel and the audio podcast in a lot of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: ways when it comes to content creation. There are a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: number of things that I have planned to do, but
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure they're worthwhile. Right, Some people
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: just on YouTube specifically, just constantly pump out content because
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what you have to do on YouTube
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to stay engaged, to stay active. Now, I do do
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that in some regards, right. I see a lot of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: things on the Internet and I share them via shorts.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So a lot of people have come to this channel
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: via the shorts I post, and I'd like to say this,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that's cool because I'm doing what they're doing. I'm browsing,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing things, I'm engaging, and it's dope to see
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that people wanted to subscribe to this channel because I'm
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: basically curating hip hop shorts right from different creators, but
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the heads are the ones that will watch and listen
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to the podcast because the podcast is a deeper experience.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So if your experience with all things hip hop, news andstalgia,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: no matter what it is, but you like it in
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: short form, just follow. Because of the shorts, I'm good
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: with that. I'm good with people arguing as long as
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you keep it clean and it's not racist and all that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I'm good with people celebrating things in the comments section
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of shorts. Trust me, I've had shorts that did crazy
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: numbers as a result of not only people who love
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: hip hop coming together, but also it feeds the algorithm
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: right organically, So it's not bods, it's the people. Some
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: people are surprised by that, but I am not, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to brag, but I'm just telling me
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: what it is. I graduated from Morgan State University with
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a college degree and communications, primarily media, meaning television and radio.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I've worked for over twenty five years in radio. But
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the difference is is I've worked specifically on the content side,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: which is directly connected to audience, right, so creating for audience,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: analyzing audience, all that good stuff. So that's exactly what
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'm doing here, but I'm doing it from a more
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: organic situation. Right. I like what I like. I know
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who like a lot of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: things I like. That's what I present to you. So
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: when you go to this channel beyond the shorts and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you say, well, what's on here, Well, there's this weekly
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: news podcast called hip Hop Now Podcast. Right. If that's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: not your bag, Well I have a podcast with the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: homie Tony from Into the Dome Podcast, who's also on YouTube,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that's all about the history of hip hop, nostalgia, moments,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: artists record labels, we break it down. There's over seventy
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: plus episodes of just that. And I start doing reactions
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: recently because people like reactions, and I like reacting because
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it's just you seeing me do something that I do
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: anyway that you probably do, which is you know, browse
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: YouTube and say, oh, Drake started the singing and rapping phase. Oh,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I need to press play on that because they lie
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in right, So you go in and you watch and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you have a reaction. The difference is is you just
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: get to see my reaction. And if you see a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: video like that, please send it to me. I will
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: do a reaction to it, Okay, I will, But all
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: all of the content, all the things I'm creating for
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: this channel and for this audio podcast, it's all about
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: building conversation. I know there's a lot of built in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: answers to a lot of things on the internet because
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: your face with a lot of it being fake and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: not true. So sure, the new phrase is they did
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: it for engagement, because that's true for a lot of people.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: They will do and say things literally for engagement so
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: they could monetize, or so they could just gain a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: huge following and then pretend to be celebrities in real life.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Nobody really knows you, right, they follow your Twitter account,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: they follow your Instagram account, But you can still go
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to the store. You're notited celebrity, you know what I'm saying.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You can still go to the store. Even when I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: had my little radio station, and trust me, I was
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: broadcasting to way more listeners to the station than followers
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I may have today, But I could still walk outside
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: because nobody even knew it was me like that, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like even when they could see
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: my profile on the website, you wouldn't be able to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: spot me in public. The only time I've been spotted
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in public was when I was hosting a hip hop
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: show way back in the day and I was at
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a festival in Baltimore and I was at the radio
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: station's booth and I was taught talking to the interns
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and a dude who came to the booth, who obviously
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was a fan at stationed. He was looking at me
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'm from the hood, and you can
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: place that wherever you want to in this world, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: specifically Brooklyn, New York. You heard, But I'm thinking, what
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: is this? What we about to do? Like, what's about
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to happen here? Why homie looking? And he was like,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you're Vegas. I'm like, yeah, right, you see how my
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: eyes got yeah, And he was like, yo, you funny.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I listened to Strictly Hip Hop, and that was the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: first time I was like, oh yeah. I guess somebody
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: who listens to that show, if they heard me but
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they don't see me all the time, they would be like,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: is that him? It sounds exactly like him. So again,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: here at hip Hop Now Podcast, we don't need to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: cap we don't need to do things for lights and follows.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Do we want them. Of course we want them, but
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that's more growing a community of people who love the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: things that we love. You get it now. Big shout
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: out to Hip Hop DX dot com Double Excel. Even
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: though y'all did something crazy on Juneteenth, I wasn't really
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: feeling in a couple of places where I'm getting these
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: stories from. Let's get right into the business. Oh boy,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: So push your T and his brother Malice or No Malice.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I think he's still going by No Malice dropped the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: new single that will be on their forthcoming album Like
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: God Sort them Out. The single is called so Be
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It and it's fire bars. You know the beat is
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: is I mean, it's just it's everything anybody who loves
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the clips expects to hear. But I think it's even
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: better than that, right, I think it's better than that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Death Jam dropped the ball, y'all. I'm sorry. So this
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: new single drops with a video and I watch it
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: like everybody else. And apparently there's a portion in the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: song where pushr T is taking shots at Travis Scott,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and from what I gathered not only from the bars,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: but also him talking about it in an interview, like
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I think, like the same day that the song dropped.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Their issue stems from a situation that happened that pusha
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: T wasn't really feeling, and also he wasn't feeling the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: fact that they had some sort of relationship that went
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: sour over this situation, right, Like push your T explains
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: it like he was being pure even though he didn't
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: like certain things. Well, I'm saying all that to say
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: is when I tell you what he said in this
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: most recent interview, it says a lot more, not only
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: about the relationship but how he feels. And the end
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: result is like, damn, does Travis Scott need to answer this?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: But like a disc record or a verse. So let
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: me just let y'all know the situation before we get there, right,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: So shout out to Nick who dug up this information
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: before I did the show, so I ain't have to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: do the research. Okay, But the situation is Push your
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: TA in malice or no malice or in a studio
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: session with Pharrell, Travis Scott came into the studio session
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: kind of interrupt it because he wanted to play some
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: songs for them. They let that happen, but he was
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: also filming and he also was acting weird. He had
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of weird energy. You know, he like he
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was up to something, right, But obviously if you're cool
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: with somebody, you're not really thinking about it that much.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: And he let them hear songs off an album, but
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: he didn't let them hear a particular song, which they
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: came to find out once it was released that the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: songs was taking shots at Forell, right, and this whole
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: thing with the chain and all that being melted down
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: after it was But you know that's what you heard
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: with Drake and all that and the Kendrick battle, So
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that broke pushed t the wrong way. So that's why
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he took a couple of shots at Travis in this
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: new record, So be it. But then he appeared and
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: this is on Hip Hop dx dot com. In an
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: interview with Ebro on Apple Music, one half of the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: clips further explain how his issues were with Scott stemmed
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: from when he interrupted a recording session with Pharrell and Paris.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: This is what Push is saying, and I quote, I
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: just thought it was disrespectful. We don't even want you here,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to be honest, We're not here to hobnob with any rappers.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And I personally don't like rappers who don't rap. I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: don't want to hear that. I don't want it now.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: When he said that, Malice started laughing right like they've
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: been talking about it. He also said, so to come
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and interrupt the session and do something backhanded and not
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: for nothing, but I done had to put my arm
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: around you before. But to go along with the title,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: so be it, which is the new single. He does
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: this numerous times. He'll do it with his mentor yay.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: So this sounds like there's another part, he said, And
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to play the all the for y'all,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: but this that part is crazy, like I don't associate
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: with rappers who don't rap. And we'll we'll fill in
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the blinks for those who don't understand. But let's see
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: if we can get this to play. I just thought
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it was disrespectful.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, man, you know, we don't even want you
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: here to be honest, like when I hit a hog
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: now with any rappers, And I personally don't like rappers
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: who don't rap, right, like, I don't want to hear that,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: like I don't want it, So, you know, to come
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: interrupted session to do something backhanded in backbiting and not
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: for nothing, like man, I didn't have to put my.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Arm around you before. You know what I'm saying.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: But you know, to go along with the title, so
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: be it. He does this numerous times. You know what
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I'm saying.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: He'll do it with his mentor right right, yay, you
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: You know he was even instrumental in the in this
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: hole in the whole beef.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Now to like that verse, you know what I'm saying,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: egging that on.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I don't want nobody who don't wrap the egg nothing
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: You don't rap, stay out of rappers business.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: You specifically stay out of rappers business.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Don't do that. That's crazy to tell another man who
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: has seen known as a rap artist that you're not
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a rapper, stay out of rappers business. It's crazy. But
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: for those who are like, what do you mean by
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that he raps, he's a rapper, what he means is
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you don't have bars, You make songs, and what you're
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: doing technically is considered to be rap. But you're not
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: someone who creatively is interested in technique and elevating your
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: skill level at any point in any record. So to him,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it's like you don't even do this on a level
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that we do. You don't. This is not something you do.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: It's not something you want to do. That's not something
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you've ever done. So stay out of our business when
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: we are going at each other as rappers. As he say,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: he was referring to the Drake and Kendrick beef, saying
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that he's egging on this beef between these two, right,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And I think in a lot of ways that's an
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: old that's an admission to Drake being a rapper, or
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: maybe just talking about Kendricks the rapper going against that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: non rapper, which could be also what he's saying, but
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: essentially that's what he's saying, like, Yo, you don't. You
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: don't do this on this level, So stop playing in
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: this section of the yard. Go over there, right, And
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: he said specifically you that. To me, that's interesting also
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: because it's like, don't respond whether you do it, and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: we can talk about that, whether you do it in
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: written form not written for him, in audio form or
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: in an interview right as far as well, let me
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: say it, because both for audio, right, respond via rapping
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: or in an interview or whatever or live or whatever.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Don't try to throw other people who are like you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: into that conversation like a drake just because you feel
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: hurt by what's being said. And one other thing that
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: was interesting, and you know, this is why it's the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: title of this episode this week is bun Bee was
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: on Shannon Sharp's Nightcap podcast and he said, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and he didn't pick a side, right because Travis Scott
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: is from Houston, but he wanted excuse me, he wanted
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: people to know that Travis Scott is from Houston, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: me knowing him, he's going to respond, He's not gonna
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: let that just go now in the same breath because
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: originally I ain't even watched the rest. Once he said that,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, what being from somewhere got to do
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: with you having a capability to battle or be nice
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: enough or have the heart to do it? Right? We
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: all say that because of where we're from and the pride,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: but we act like we don't know suckers right, Suckers
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: are everywhere. Okay, But with that being said, I thought
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: about it. I was like, Wow, should Travis Scott respond now?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I tweeted out or post it depending on where you are,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that Travis Scott can respond, but he's going to get
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: cooked like a trill burger Blaine broiled right, Because it's true,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: there's nothing about Travis Scott's music that I don't dislike.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Necessarily that told me he's a rappers rapper, he's a
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: bar king, he can go with the bars. He is
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: a songmaker and a highly successful one at back. But
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: like pusha t said, I don't want to hear from
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you non rappers. If you don't, I don't like rappers
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: who don't rap. I gave you the definition of that bars. See,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: it's easy for me right now. I'm not mad if
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: he does, because as a man, I mean, and especially
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: as an image, especially coming off of Battle that had
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: not only the hip hop head's attention but also the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: attention of the world in a lot of respects, especially
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: because it was on like the super Bowlcus, I know
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: somebody might be like, oh, you mean the world. The
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: world watches the Super Bowl dog and he performed not
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: like us, right, So then what happens after that, people
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: don't know go and start googling and everything, and they
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: find a whole battle. So for someone of Travis Scott's stature,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: who is a bigger artist, regardless if you prefer Push
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: your tea's he's the bigger artist success wise. I don't
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: know if he want to do that, he will not win.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: An ain't no amount of ghostwriters in the world because
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you don't have that built in integrity already to lift
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: your bars up, even if you come out with something dope,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: because the minute push your t decides Okay, now I'm
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: gonna put all my attention on you. It's it's lights out.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: We know it's going to be lights out. We know
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: we already listening to these clips, records like my God
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Pusher mate already have it. This may be the reason
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: why he's so open about talking about it, because he
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: already got the bullets and the click. He's just waiting
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: for this dude to do some non rapper I'm better
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: than you, I'm richer than you stuff, so he can
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: mark him out for the rest of the eternity. And
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: some people may say, well, Travis is too successful for that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: As Drake, what that feels like, I mean, I got
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the best of Drake playlist, I got Drake albums. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: like Drake. But he is eternally scarred by this battle,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: so much that he started chipping in with some of
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the scarring of hisself just doing stuff because he don't
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: know what to do. I should be better because I'm
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: richer and I'm more popular, but he wasn't. So my
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: advice to Travis Scott ignore it. Ignoring it is the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: easiest thing you could do, because you know why, after
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the people get exhausted with imagining what that battle would
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: be like, they move on and months down the line,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: you dropping single album and you go. But if you engage,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: we are going to learn things about you that we
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: did not know, and some of your fans are going
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: to be like, hey, I don't like him no more.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: It just it happens, as Jo Rul Joe rue was
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I fifty said, Yo, he's singing for holes like the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Cookie Monster, and everybody say, oh Joe Ruth's whack now
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: like what yesterday we were partying to his records. Just happens.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: So move accordingly, is what I have to say. And
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I know that was a long winded section,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: but it's brewing. It could be on and popping by
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the time this is out. Who knows next story. So,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: according to Lil Wayne's Lil Wayne wrote most of Drake's
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: lyrics back in the day, I guess here's a quote
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: my dad wrote most of Drake's ish, I mean, on
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: god like, if it wasn't for my pops, there wouldn't
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: be no Drake. I mean, there probably would be a thing,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: but he wouldn't be where he's at. Though, no disrespect
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to Drake. He hard. First of all, Shorty pause. Second
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: of all, if y'all see the photo of Shorty, my god,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: is that little Wayne? I don't know to these y'all
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: young cats, y'all just don't know. Sometimes y'all just say
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: stuff right now? Do I believe him? I don't know.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how old Shorty was when Drake
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: was out. He looked wild young, So he may feel
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: some kind of way about Drake because something else. We
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: know what that is. So maybe that's why he's saying this,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: because I mean, what you know, Shorty, go to the store,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: go play with your Nintendo switch? Right? Do you really know?
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Have you been told this? If you were in a session,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: how old were you? And I'm talking about early days now.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: If he's saying, Lil Wayne been writing forever up until
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: recent times, and that's something different. But I don't know
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: whether to believe him or not, you know there is
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of questions in that regard, but
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: let's play in hypotheticis is there a clear sign lyrically
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: that Lil Wayne could have wrote a lot of stuff
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: for Drake, which if I'm looking at what his little
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: what his son is saying, he's probably talking about hits,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: absolutely their songs. And you know, I know, if you
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: know the artists well enough, especially as a fan, I'm
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: a fan of a little way a fan of Drake, especially
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: knowing all the things that have been exposed over time
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with Drake. You sometimes you wonder what was his pen?
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: What song is defended on? Some rap stuff definitively his pen?
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Drake wrote that no one else. We can't really take
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the word from Drake because he'd been trying to flashy
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: thing us with everything. Right, he's trying to flashy thing
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: us with the with the damn battle like he won
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: in round two's and tutored out lips with a bunch
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: of grown men in the mall. But some of us
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: is like, we too hip hop for that, So we
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: don't know what to believe. We would like to believe
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: some of your best bars came from you, and I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: think in some ways, it has to be because like
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: early mixtape Drake, before he was really a f affiliated
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: with Lil Wayne, it wasn't like he was whack, and
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he switched. Now we know
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: what Lil Wayne. It wasn't like he was whack with
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: cash Money initially, but we know his style switched drastically,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and some call it the influence of Gilly the Kid
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: on Cash Money, and then others call it Gilly was
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: right in those bars because if you didn't know, Gilly
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the Kid is not just ball ahead dude with a podcast.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Looked like he was having a stroke every time he talked.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: He had bars. Back in the day, he was a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: spitter out of Philly, Like, no, I don't care what
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: he looked like him Joe Budden, Yo, these dudes could rap.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: There's a reason why some people listen to them, right,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: because they know what they're talking about. So it was
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: like with Lil Wayne in that whole situation. I could
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: hear the bar version of Lil Wayne in some of
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Drake's music, right, I could hear it. And we know
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: there's songs that were instrumental in Drake's beginnings. Best I've
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: had that came from somebody else. Right, So the whole
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Frankenstein's Monster hip Hop theory on Drake was early. Now,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: real quick, I'm gonna just say that because I've been
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: making these podcasts way too long later, But I just
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: want to say that early on, I mean not early on,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: but a known thing in the record industry, even if
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: you're not in it as a fan. That's like a
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: pattern that you can see is that typically most rappers
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: get on based off of their own merits. Right. In
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Drake's case is like I could and I could sing,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and I can make beats and his my mixtape, right,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: same thing with Ja Cole, Right, I could rap his
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: my mixtape. Like everybody has that origin story that is
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: absolutely their pin. Unless you were lacking in a lot
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of areas creating your first album and the record company
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: had to assist, whether it's writers, whether it's the right beats,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: it's all about it's not just about the music, it's
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: not just about the pen. It's also about the marketing
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: of that individual. I could see in some instances a
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: person not having enough and so they created. Now that
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean Drake can't learn from that and then know
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: how to create it for himself and not need a
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: bunch of people like as far as writers and producers.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: But history, in recent history has shown that you have
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to look at his situation with a side eye. And
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: maybe you remember that show kids say the darnedest things.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe Shorty is like, I don't care. My pops was
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: right in that stuff. And maybe even if he was
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: too young to really know it, he might be standing
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: around Wayne in the living room he looking at a
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Drake video like I wrote that, not even talking to Shorty.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: But Shorty's just listening because as his father, he look
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: up to him. I mean, you look at the picture like,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: and is he him if your dad is like on
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the phone and like, they owe me money because blah
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. I did this, I did that,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I did this, I did that. And some people will say, well,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: why don't Wayne just say that, Well, because it's not on.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: If it was on between Drake and Lil Wayne, which
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: things looked suspicions suspiciously like it is, but they're just
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: not airing it out and they're on pick sides and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: all that. And I don't think Lil Wayne wants to
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: get involved in that way. But it would be dope.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Imagine if Lil Wayne just made a disrecord about Drake
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and they went back and forth. I think I'd be
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: here for that because it's that would be that would
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: be a lot. It will air out a lot of information,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: so it's shortly telling the truth. Who knows right, It
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: could be his emotional attachment to that relationship, but also
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: could be his emotional attachment that tells him, yeah, you
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: asked me. My pops wrote most of that. He wrote
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: some stuff, but if it wasn't for my Pops, he
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be on. And there's a lot of truth to that.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: So let me know what you think about that. In
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: a common section below, do you believe this little cat?
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: You know? I don't know? You tell me? And lastly,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: so y'all know you know I did a recent episode
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the Best of twenty twenty five. So far you will
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: see more lists start to come out. I just kind
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: of followed the steps of Rolling Stones. They already dropped
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: their joint, so I was like, I'm a drop mine,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and I knew there was a possibility that there could
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: be albums released between because the ideal time to drop
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: those are after the second quarter, which is around June thirtieth,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and as recorded as of the recording of this video
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: on this podcast, we got it like another week or
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: so to go right before we get there. But I
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: kind of wanted to put Mines out because it just
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: didn't feel like there was anything on the horizon that
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: was going to make my best of twenty twenty five
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: so far. Well, I think I was wrong because the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: album I'm reviewing today on the podcast, if you don't know,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Project EP, whatever you want to call it, is featuring
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Davies and Young Chris, and it's called Fine Dining. This
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: is Davies's second collaboration with another artist this year. He
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: did in a project with Ransom called Final Call, which
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: made My Best of twenty twenty five so far. Well,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: guess what Davies on two less Because long story short,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I like it a lot. I like it a lot.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I like the bars, I like the beat selection, I
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: like the vibe. I like the parent of those two.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I think the parent of Young Chris and Dave East
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: is a little bit closer to Synergy than Ransom and Davies,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: even though that project was still dope. This feels more
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: organic and maybe it's just more my style as a listener.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: But I can listen to both now, yeah, I know
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: how I do. When it comes to reviews. I listen
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to it three times. My first listen is just impressions, right,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: second listen, I'm gonna listen more intently to the songs,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the bars, the concept, all of that. And my third
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: listen is just to confirm my thoughts. And like I said,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: this project is I mean, it's dope. It's dope. I
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: like it a lot. Now is it best of the year.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Will determine that when we get to
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the end and it's you know, there's a couple of
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: features on here, but not many. It's really like three
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Ransom being one of them on a song called Kiss
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: the Sky, and I like it a lot. Man Like,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: there's probably one song on here, and I think it's
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: the joint called Ain't Adding Up? I think so I'm
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: forgetting a little bit. But there's no skips for me
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: on here, and I've already listened to it about four times,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: to be honest, there's no skip for me, Like I
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: could let it ride, And I don't know. Maybe it's
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the timing of this album, the music, the fact that
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: we're about to get a heat wave of ninety degree
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: weather after having a bunch of rains. So now I
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: get to pop out in my shorts and show off
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: my work from the gym, you know, stuff like that.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what it is. But long story short, I
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: know I probably said that, long story long then, okay?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Is that if you like Davies and if you've been
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: missing honestly, young Chris and we all know, you know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: we don't know. I'm not even gonna get into it
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: with Young Chris and you know, hove, but Young Chris
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: is a respect to MC and this pairing with Davies
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: was something that was not on my bingo card. But
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: it's pretty dope. It's pretty dope. It's boomback is recognizable,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: samples from hit records, not necessarily all recent, a lot
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: of maybe soul records, you know what I'm saying. Like,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I think there's a sample of Rose Royce on here
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Love Don't live here no more? Right, they flipped that
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: beat Like it's things like that that made me love.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: His mixtape from last year was scram Jones called for
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the Love, Like I just loved what they were doing
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: with the production. Right, So if you like these two artists,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: if you like what this sounds like, because it's not
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: just you know, not just the lovey w tracks. It's
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: some boom back there. There's even some little bit of
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: you know, eight OA trap kind of feeling stuff there.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: But it's really that's like one song, right, which is
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: not a problem. I think you would like this project.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of artists release albums like crazy today,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: like Bodie James, he probably released one hundred albums so
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: far in twenty twenty five. But I think if you're
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: going to release three or four projects, if their quality projects,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: especially something like this that's a collaboration, so you get
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to hear him with a different artist and you could
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: tell the vibe is different. I'm all forward, Like, if
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Dave East wants to do two more of these with
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: artists that makes sense, I'd be with it, you know
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. As long as this level of attention
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: is put on the beats, the choices of beats, the bars,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: even the concepts in some ways, so I enjoy it.
• 35:49
