- 0:56Speaker 2: You never know? What is a type of call? I
- 1:00Speaker 2: don't know.
- 1:00Speaker 3: I didn't know.
- 1:01Speaker 4: It's a very popular car in LA very limited, very
- 1:05Speaker 4: limited edition. They only made it for one year, and
- 1:07Speaker 4: I think they made it's just a couple of hundred.
- 1:09Speaker 4: It's like one hundred and if you want to buy
- 1:10Speaker 4: it now, one just sold this week for like one
- 1:13Speaker 4: hundred and sixteen thousand.
- 1:15Speaker 1: It was a black Grand Now, okay, so that's what
- 1:17Speaker 1: that Grand ash.
- 1:18Speaker 2: It's a limited addition to the Grand.
- 1:19Speaker 1: But I know I'm not the only one I had
- 1:20Speaker 1: this question.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Don't be looking at me like he had a picture
- 1:22Speaker 2: of the car on the cover.
- 1:25Speaker 3: No, you're I asked that question to I asked my
- 1:27Speaker 3: homiees on the West Coast. I said, what's the significance
- 1:28Speaker 3: of the next? And they broke it.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Down because Kendrick is so damn codd we don't know that.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Last week it's an addition to the Grand National.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Wayne reacted and he said, man, what the F I do?
- 1:38Speaker 1: I just be chilling and he still come for my head.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Let's not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep.
- 1:44Speaker 2: I beg you all.
- 1:44Speaker 1: No one really wants destruction, not even me, but I
- 1:47Speaker 1: shall destroy it if the stird on me. Love.
- 1:50Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 1:51Speaker 3: A Little Wayne as the top five MC of all
- 1:53Speaker 3: times him being objective, right, I have to put Little
- 1:55Speaker 3: Wyne in my top five. He don't want no problems
- 1:57Speaker 3: with Kendrick right And the reason he don't want no
- 1:59Speaker 3: problem with can Kendrick right now is because emotionally, mentally,
- 2:03Speaker 3: and spiritually, Lil Wayne is not on the level to
- 2:06Speaker 3: get out of Kendrick because Kendrick would break down Lil
- 2:09Speaker 3: Wayne's whole life. Yeah, yeah, in a very therapeutic way.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not even But what he said didn't
- 2:16Speaker 1: cause for that reaction to me. That's all he said.
- 2:19Speaker 1: My hard work, I guess it, you know, let him down.
- 2:21Speaker 1: But I do feel like, you know, it was like
- 2:23Speaker 1: I was surprised that Wayne took that approach that he
- 2:25Speaker 1: did when he responded about not doing the Super Bowl
- 2:27Speaker 1: whatever like that. So I just don't think it was
- 2:29Speaker 1: big enough for him to do that. But I mean,
- 2:31Speaker 1: they're gonna beat them now.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Drake.
- 2:32Speaker 1: On the other hand, he filed two lawsuits against UMG.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And that was the Monday after the album had dropped
- 2:39Speaker 1: or whatever, Right, so he probably he filed a preaction doc.
- 2:42Speaker 1: That's asking to be able to get all in UMG's
- 2:44Speaker 1: business because he's gonna file. He gonna file a suit,
- 2:47Speaker 1: but he needs to know who's against it, like, like
- 2:51Speaker 1: he's a legend. UMG paid for bots, influencers and podcasters
- 2:54Speaker 1: to make noise for like to push not like us,
- 2:58Speaker 1: to make it as big as it was now on
- 3:01Speaker 1: the same.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Thing UMG has been doing for him his whole career. Yeah,
- 3:04Speaker 3: but he sure.
- 3:05Speaker 1: He said he got evidence of like all right, So
- 3:07Speaker 1: basically one of the things that stuck out to me
- 3:09Speaker 1: is what he said when he said influences his videos
- 3:12Speaker 1: of influencers, like saying like play Drake music like you
- 3:16Speaker 1: can say it the series like them to.
- 3:20Speaker 3: That's because these things pick up lyrics too, So you know,
- 3:23Speaker 3: if you don't know the name of a song and
- 3:25Speaker 3: you say keywords, it'll pull up the songs. If you
- 3:27Speaker 3: say certified love a boy in that moment during that week, yes,
- 3:30Speaker 3: not like us, we come up yeah yeah, and then
- 3:33Speaker 3: we you predicted this.
- 3:35Speaker 2: You predicted this six months ago on Brilliant idiots.
- 3:38Speaker 3: It's one what is the next move for Drake lawsuit?
- 3:44Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. Drake is half white, Okay,
- 3:48Speaker 3: Drake mama side of the family is like, oh, no,
- 3:50Speaker 3: a break. This man is out here calling you a pedophile.
- 3:54Speaker 3: There's probably people at night, There's probably people at Universal.
- 3:57Speaker 2: There are people that got.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Real vested interest in Drake.
- 4:00Speaker 2: That is a multi billion.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Dollar entity, like you gotta protect your nick, call that ration,
- 4:06Speaker 3: call your cousin, call your cousin's the lawyers.
- 4:09Speaker 2: He's not sing and.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Then I did predict that. I charged for that too,
- 4:12Speaker 3: but it don't.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Want Yeah, but he basically feels like yo, and he's
- 4:18Speaker 1: suing and he's not suing Kendrick. A lot of people
- 4:19Speaker 1: in the commers are you sing because you know he's
- 4:21Speaker 1: suing UMG and Spotify basically saying like y'all, like y'all, y'all,
- 4:26Speaker 1: let this man call me pedophile on this song that
- 4:27Speaker 1: costed me money.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Well, he's not sewing anybody yet, He just yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 4:31Speaker 1: But it wouldn't be against Kendrick. It would be UMG
- 4:35Speaker 1: and H Spotify.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Man, Please, you know Kendrick was in that house. I
- 4:39Speaker 3: ain't shooting Kendrick. I just shot up the house, knock
- 4:41Speaker 3: at off. Okay, what are you talking about? And you
- 4:44Speaker 3: know what you're doing. It just showed me that Drake
- 4:46Speaker 3: does not understand culture because Not Like Us was a
- 4:49Speaker 3: cultural phenomenon, you know, like you can't program a record
- 4:53Speaker 3: like that, Like it wouldn't surprise me if one day
- 4:55Speaker 3: California made Not Like Us their actual state model. That's
- 4:59Speaker 3: how big that record is.
- 5:01Speaker 2: And it was.
- 5:01Speaker 3: It has nothing to do with programming a playlist or
- 5:04Speaker 3: paying a radio.
- 5:05Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I thought the lawsuit was was whack.
- 5:07Speaker 4: And the reason I think it was whack is is
- 5:09Speaker 4: this records and talking about people in the records have
- 5:11Speaker 4: been going on since the beginning of hip hop. But
- 5:14Speaker 4: not only that, if I'm not correct me if I'm wrong,
- 5:17Speaker 4: But didn't Drake throw shots at Kendrick that necessarily weren't
- 5:20Speaker 4: true too?
- 5:21Speaker 3: He said Kendrick beat his woman. He said that kendricks
- 5:23Speaker 3: woman's uh, one of their children was was day free
- 5:27Speaker 3: as Man's child. That's who got By the way, if
- 5:29Speaker 3: anybody wanted to suit for defamation, it could be Kendrick's girl.
- 5:33Speaker 3: She got the slam dunk defamation suit because she's a
- 5:35Speaker 3: civilian it's hard to prove defamation against public figures. But
- 5:40Speaker 3: she's a civilian, correct, don't got nothing to do with
- 5:42Speaker 3: none of this. And you said she got beat on
- 5:43Speaker 3: and said that on her children. It was somebody else's
- 5:47Speaker 3: and not Kendricks.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Okay, I thought that was whack.
- 5:49Speaker 4: I think at this point, Yes, you take the l
- 5:52Speaker 4: you regroup, and you put out an album and not
- 5:54Speaker 4: the album with party.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Put out a rap album.
- 5:56Speaker 4: And then whatever you're feeling in that rap album you
- 5:58Speaker 4: say in them songs.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Take my advice Drake that I told you over the summer,
- 6:02Speaker 3: take a year off. He does real quick.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Let's golds person for UMG. They told us that the
- 6:09Speaker 1: suggestion that YOUMG would do anything to undermine any of
- 6:12Speaker 1: his artists is offensive and untrue. We employ the highest
- 6:14Speaker 1: ethical practices in our marketing approach and promotional campaigns.
- 6:18Speaker 2: So yeah, I just don't understand.
- 6:19Speaker 4: He's selling records, he's still selling tours, He's still one
- 6:22Speaker 4: of the biggest artists out there.
- 6:23Speaker 2: I just don't understand that.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Move his like skin. You do understand, oh yes, it's
- 6:30Speaker 3: beyond like. But also to uh, you know, Drake is
- 6:34Speaker 3: kind of shooting himself in the foot because what about
- 6:36Speaker 3: when he puts out his next project and he wants
- 6:38Speaker 3: them little tricks of the trade that he's giving up
- 6:41Speaker 3: because there was times with Drake's music, well be at
- 6:43Speaker 3: the top of the gospel playlist. What the hell is
- 6:45Speaker 3: he at the top of the go.
- 6:46Speaker 6: Gosplay Why you know you put you put a song
- 6:57Speaker 6: at radio and immediately Drake song is everywhere like come on, Like,
- 7:01Speaker 6: so what happens when UMG doesn't use those tricks of
- 7:03Speaker 6: the trade for his next project.
- 7:05Speaker 4: Seems like he's trying to get off you, UMG. I
- 7:06Speaker 4: just don't think this is the right trying to get
- 7:09Speaker 4: I think this hurts himself. I mean it's there's other
- 7:11Speaker 4: distribution houses.
- 7:12Speaker 2: But I think he just read two years ago after
- 7:14Speaker 2: the other thing.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Everybody keep talking about this. He's in the middle of negotiation.
- 7:17Speaker 3: He just read up like two years ago for.
- 7:18Speaker 4: Funder in the middle of reading, said they said he
- 7:23Speaker 4: gave yes six six hundred million. Now they said he
- 7:26Speaker 4: made that four hundred million dollars back. I guess allegedly
- 7:28Speaker 4: from touring and album sales. But they're renegotiating allegedly now.
- 7:33Speaker 3: I don't believe that that's what he said. I just
- 7:36Speaker 3: think people are making an excuses for Drake because they
- 7:39Speaker 3: like Drake because the same way Drake was sitting on
- 7:41Speaker 3: the ceant, how people be sitting on Drake's penis just
- 7:43Speaker 3: like that. Oh my god, Oh Drake got the greatest
- 7:46Speaker 3: he riders of ball time.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just riding. I'm trying to think about.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Oh, all right, right, all right, now when we come back,
- 7:58Speaker 4: let's open up the phone lines eight five, eight five one,
- 8:01Speaker 4: five to one. There was a lady, do we have
- 8:03Speaker 4: an audio of the lady of the woman at all a Thanksgiving? No, No,
- 8:07Speaker 4: that they're about to put it in there saying as
- 8:08Speaker 4: in they're pointing at you and saying it's in now.
- 8:10Speaker 2: This lady got up pause.
- 8:14Speaker 3: A couple of pretty much.
- 8:17Speaker 4: So this lady over Thanksgiving got mad at her family
- 8:21Speaker 4: because she said last year Thanksgiving was very expensive. It
- 8:23Speaker 4: costs over five hundred dollars. So this year when family
- 8:25Speaker 4: members came, she has spaghetti. Okay, got the hell.
- 8:29Speaker 5: We're going to do spaghetti for Thanksgiving. It's it's a
- 8:33Speaker 5: lot easier. You try to keep up with the tradition
- 8:36Speaker 5: of Thanksgiving. But the way groceries are unless you're doing
- 8:40Speaker 5: a pot look if you put it just on one person,
- 8:42Speaker 5: it breaks the bank. Instead of spending close to five
- 8:46Speaker 5: hundred dollars, I figured, I'm going to keep it simple.
- 8:50Speaker 2: You spent almost five hundred dollars last year.
- 8:52Speaker 5: Yes, it was egregious. It hurt to say the least,
- 8:56Speaker 5: and then to turn around knowing that rent was due
- 8:59Speaker 5: the next week. Me doing it beans greens, potatoes, tomatous.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Jam lamb ram ham hall. I'm not doing it. I
- 9:05Speaker 2: ain't got the floods.
- 9:07Speaker 5: You feel like you're taking the holidays away from your
- 9:09Speaker 5: kids or your family. I'm just happy that we get
- 9:11Speaker 5: to experience it, even if it's not, you know, the
- 9:14Speaker 5: mashed potatoes and greenman castrow type of situation.
- 9:18Speaker 4: Damn, I mean, I get it, I get it. I
- 9:21Speaker 4: mean the family was mad.
- 9:23Speaker 2: They wanted they well that people were talking in the comments.
- 9:25Speaker 2: They were upset. They was like, that's kind of whack.
- 9:26Speaker 1: But bring thanks giving them money, bring me some food
- 9:29Speaker 1: or something then.
- 9:30Speaker 4: But I thought things given was about family and their
- 9:32Speaker 4: family coming together. Whatever you could provide on your table,
- 9:34Speaker 4: that's all that Matt.
- 9:35Speaker 2: That's what she could have. It was just spaghetti, and
- 9:37Speaker 2: it's just spaghetti if it's just bread, it's just bread.
- 9:39Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you want your
- 9:40Speaker 2: family together.
- 9:40Speaker 4: The fact that you got your parents, your grandparents, your cousins,
- 9:43Speaker 4: your brothers, your sisters.
- 9:44Speaker 2: I think that's what it is. It's more about being thankful.
- 9:47Speaker 4: Let's open up the phone lines with your thoughts. Eight
- 9:48Speaker 4: hundred five eight five one oh five one. You go
- 9:50Speaker 4: to Thanksgiving for you know, for your family member. When
- 9:53Speaker 4: you get there, they got spaghetti. How you feeling out there?
- 9:55Speaker 4: Let's let's discuss. Let's talk eight hundred five eight five
- 9:58Speaker 4: one oh five to one. How would you feel if
- 10:00Speaker 4: you showed up and they were serving spaghetti. Let's talk
- 10:02Speaker 4: at the breakfast club.
- 10:03Speaker 2: Good morning, Wake that ass up in the morning for
- 10:06Speaker 2: breakfast club.
