"This Food Cooked, Not Microwaved"| EP.28

This week on 808’s & Convo; Emo G & JUSTCALLMETEMP are back with another loaded episode breaking down the biggest conversations in music and culture.

First up, the legendary Mary J. Blige officially kicks off her Las Vegas residency “My Story, My Life” and the reviews from opening week are already pouring in. Did the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul deliver a timeless experience worthy of her legacy and could this residency become one of Vegas’ must-see shows?

Then the duo revisit the much talked about Verzuz showdown between Rick Ross and French Montana. Social media has been debating the winner nonstop; but did Ross’ catalog overpower French’s hit records or are people underrating French Montana’s run in hip-hop?

Next, the internet is completely split over Chris Brown’s new album “BROWN.” Some fans are calling it another strong addition to his catalog while others think his project is way too lengthy. Emo G & Temp break down the reactions, standout moment and whether Chris still has the ability to dominate today’s R&B landscape.

And finally, all eyes are on Drake as anticipation builds for “Iceman.” From the mysterious rollout to the rumors surrounding the sound and direction of the project, the duo ask the big question: are we about to witness a completely new era of Drake?

Tap in for real takes, music debates, jokes, and unapologetic conversation—the way only 808’s & Convo can deliver.

SPEAKER_10 11:38

Creative little fucker. Creative little fucker. Like you watch. But um I've been okay. I've been okay. John's been wild with the OT, so I've been trying to like take some, but I'm not trying to OD because I'm not trying to get hit with the crazy taxes until not too much.

SPEAKER_10 12:24

Now nowadays, now it don't you know, it don't even take me it didn't even take much for me to even be a father, even like but I believe in help before wealth before anything.

SPEAKER_07 12:32

Like you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_10 12:34

As long as the bills and all that shit is taken care of. I don't really care to have any money in my pocket. I really yeah, I'm on this tour because I really just wanted to like have more sleep and spend more time with family and all that shit. So I really appreciate those things over like money and over. So yeah, I won't I will never like really OD unless like I was in a hole or something, like you said, like I like I really need the bread or something like that, then yeah, I'll push myself then to do that. But like nah, like really no real reason to um take the OTS just there. Yeah. Before the opportunity is gone, I was like, let me just take advantage of it to the best of my ability, you know. But that's neither here no there. That's never here on there.

SPEAKER_07 13:15

What y'all folks been up to in our absence briefly? Yeah. I'm gonna start a QA real soon. Excuse me. Just want to put that out there today, the way family and you know, the newcomers. Anybody who's just how would you go about that? As far as what? Well, that's still in the works, you know, shit behind the scenes.

SPEAKER_10 13:40

Like, would you do it phone style? Uh where we like read off emails or some shit.

SPEAKER_07 13:45

Yeah, I think I think we should like probably explore I we did discuss the phone situation, like people dialing in, like as if you know No, it ain't Breakfast Club and none of that shit. But you know, trying to get the people to interact, and we want to interact with the with the fans who support us. You know what I'm saying? And if you guys have questions, you have opinions on things that we discuss here on the pod. And you want us to dive into context on I think that'll be great, you know? Give our perspective. But emails definitely, I think the emails we should explore first. Yeah. See what floats into the mail.

SPEAKER_10 14:27

Let's try to get that going for like next season or some shit.

SPEAKER_07 14:30

Oh yeah. Yeah, there's uh there's we did say that. It's gonna be a lot of new things coming.

SPEAKER_10 14:37

Yeah, I think next season will be more video based too.

SPEAKER_07 14:41

Yeah, and that's that's more reason why, like, we're not gonna tell y'all right now. I think we did mention it during the last episode. We did, we did. Alright, well shit. Listen, we we yeah, we're we're gonna we're gonna cap soon, and you know, it's not gonna be for a long time.

SPEAKER_10 14:59

Yeah, we we did mention that last episode. Me and you were supposed to discuss behind the scenes when we're gonna pick it back up.

SPEAKER_07 15:04

Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. We're gonna talk about that after Yeah, we we'll we'll get back to y'all on that.

SPEAKER_10 15:10

Yeah, but yeah, as far as the um the Pago, what we we're capping it by 30 you said 30, 30 episodes.

SPEAKER_07 15:17

I mean we still had to revisit the conversation, but I mean we're close to it. But if there's still something that is needed or necessary, then we'll do that, we'll explore that too. But you know, my brother and I we're we're working on things and we're trying to what's the word I'm looking for? Implement better things, you know, and there are better things to come. Life is not always the greatest for everybody, but for some we are part of that one percent, right? Right, yeah. Things are things are going okay. Like we we we thriving, right? Even through the most craziest times, yeah, yeah, you know? Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 16:07

No, 100%, I agree with you.

SPEAKER_07 16:09

But we'll we'll definitely be coming back with some heat. We wanna start interacting again, like I stated previously, with our fan base and people who you know our listeners. So just stay tuned for that. Can't wait for the next season. We're gonna have more visuals, obviously.

SPEAKER_08 16:25

Um Yeah, that was fun. I would that got such a positive response too.

SPEAKER_07 16:29

Yeah, just be on the lookout, guys, because it's coming sooner than rather than later. Oh yeah. It's been a long time.

SPEAKER_10 16:36

So you wanna kick into the first Yeah, let's get into it. So I didn't I didn't look too much into this. But you had that you had text me in the uh Mary J. Blige is having a Vegas residency. Well, it it started back in May 1st or something like that in Vegas or whatever. Yeah. So she got this Vegas Regency Rags Vegas residency called My Life, My Story, started a few days ago, I think May 1st. It's been held in positive regard so far. And people stating that it's like classic Mary, you know, with her dancing and you know that little layback appeal. But they said that it also added like a residency, she added like a like a storytelling kind of aspect to the to the whole situation, which is everybody found pretty pr pretty fascinated by it.

SPEAKER_07 17:28

Yeah. I think I think that was the right thing to do.

SPEAKER_10 17:33

Yeah, yeah, it stood out because I like nobody I should have just had a residency in Vegas. He didn't do nothing like that. It was just but yeah, it's more personable. Like it's it's some it's more on a personal note. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 17:46

I feel like for her.

SPEAKER_10 17:47

Which Mary has been that type of artist her whole fucking career. I'm not gonna lie. Like, she's faxed since like my life. What's the 411? All that shit actually told a story. Share my world. All those albums are.

SPEAKER_07 17:59

What's the 411, hon?

SPEAKER_10 18:02

Yeah. I seen a video of her, like, she was just like she was sitting in her chair, like she was catching a break when her dickets came out. Yeah, that shit was the funniest shit. I was like, yo, look at Auntie. And I was like, yo, at first, I'm not gonna lie, I looked at the video, I'm like, damn. I wouldn't want to, I don't know how much the tickets are, but I'm like, damn, if I was there, I wouldn't want to pay that much money, whatever the fuck it is, to watch it, just sit there. But then I had to think, I'm like, yo, yo, she 55, bro. Like, now she's not like old. I'm not calling her old, but like being a performer and a singer, yeah, damn near your whole career, yeah, takes a toll.

SPEAKER_07 18:40

And I'm I know she be smoking. Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_10 18:43

Yeah, she yeah, Yonkers girl, YO girl, man.

SPEAKER_07 18:47

You know, she's really from the Bronx, but I digress. If you know, you know.

SPEAKER_10 18:53

I'm just going off basis of what I kept hearing. But no, yeah, of course. I thought that shit was mad funny. But yeah, she looked good.

SPEAKER_07 19:03

It's a lot of mixed like reviews out there, like of people who like fans who've gone to the residency. Some people are complaining about like she's not really it's not giving what it was supposed to give.

SPEAKER_10 19:18

What is it supposed to give?

SPEAKER_07 19:19

I don't know. That's what they're saying. Like she's sitting around, like they're like they didn't pay for these tickets to go see Mary sitting on a chair and allowing the track to play versus her singing, really. I'm not gonna lie, I did. She brought a fan on stage and the fan was sitting there doing her dance. I was crying because Mary started, she was like, Come on, let me do it with you real quick.

SPEAKER_10 19:46

Don't do the Mary dance?

SPEAKER_07 19:47

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's funny as hell. It was dope though. She was doing her thing. The girl was really doing her thing. But I also when when Mary started singing, I was like, alright, I love her. She gotta pack it up. Yeah, like now. I know why you sit down. Don't get me wrong, I know she still has a beautiful voice. I mean, it could be a number of things. She could be tired. Maybe she's tired. Her age is catching up to her.

SPEAKER_10 20:12

Yeah, it could be that.

SPEAKER_07 20:12

You can't, and you can't and I and I feel like if you're a die hard fan, you can't just be tired. You can't be mad at her father. Yeah, that's what I meant to say.

SPEAKER_10 20:20

Yeah, I don't want to get into that. Like, yeah, like if you're a diehard fan, you grew up listening to her music, whatever, you've been with her since the since the start of her career. I think you should have you should be a little bit more lenient towards her. Like, yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, she she's aging gracefully. Give her some grace, you know what I'm saying? A lot of grace. Like, yo, bro. Mary been through a lot of shit. Honestly, I'm not gonna like and I want to say this because this is this is she's the queen of fucking hip hop and soul.

SPEAKER_05 20:46

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_10 20:48

But I kind of feel like, and this is my opinion, you can crucify me, you guys can crucify me all you want or whatever. But I feel like once somebody does like a vegan's residency, that's damn near the end of their career. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like it's damn near the click is like really not much else I'm really doing. I'm not really putting out no albums, I'm not really like doing shit.

SPEAKER_07 21:09

Like, you know, and then she died already on Power Series. Mo Monet. Mama. Yeah, I mean, yeah. So, like, what else? What what's the next chapter? What what is it like?

SPEAKER_10 21:23

She's getting older, she's not moving the way she used to move. She she's she's trying to put up an effort, that's for sure, whatever. But yeah, I feel like some people should just give her more like what the you really expect her to be the married that she was in the 90s? Like that's fucking crazy.

SPEAKER_07 21:37

Or do you feel like she's doing this because she don't really have much of a choice?

SPEAKER_10 21:42

Yeah, yeah, obviously this because she need the bride or some some shit.

SPEAKER_07 21:49

I don't think that she needs to bribe about the deal that she signed.

SPEAKER_10 21:54

Oh, I don't think a Vegas res residency would be in like your contract.

SPEAKER_07 21:58

No, that's not what I'm saying. Just having to work for the rest of her life. What if? Oh. What if this? Like, she ain't got a choice but to continue working. And they were like, oh, this came about, so we're gonna put this on your calendar. Boom. Go do this.

SPEAKER_10 22:12

If you went through the police academy, uh wait, no, first of all, fuck the police academy. Uh-huh. If you grew up with the conscious decision, want to become a cop, if you if you grew up with the conscious decision, want to become a cop, uh-huh you went to the police academy, you became a cop, you were on a job for a couple of years, your ass gets shot, you cannot cry about it. That's what the fuck you signed up for.

SPEAKER_07 22:30

That's what you signed up for, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 22:31

That's what you signed up for. Yeah. So I'm just saying, that's an artist.

SPEAKER_06 22:33

She's not gone crazy.

SPEAKER_10 22:35

The type of artist that you are, like you sing and you're a performer, people are always gonna expect that from you. Like, you don't think people are gonna treat Beyonce like that when she's not there's more to the same babba? Like, she wasn't the strongest like dancer. No, she wasn't. But she she she had a little rhythm to whenever she's singing or whatever. But people expect that from her every fucking time. Like, she's she's not a Beyoncé, she's not like a choreographed type of type of dancer, or whatever. Correct. So people always gonna but people always gonna expect that Aunt Mary dance when she's fucking, you know what I'm saying? That shit took a toll on us.

SPEAKER_09 23:08

I know that's just probably cracking this shit up, like popping.

SPEAKER_10 23:11

So I'm like, well, you started that wave and we love you.

SPEAKER_07 23:15

You kind of gotta keep up with it, and it sucks, but or maybe she does need the bread. Yeah, it's so many ways to look at it. From that divorce that sucked up fucking that shit blundered.

SPEAKER_10 23:26

She's the one who was paying him, right?

SPEAKER_07 23:29

Yeah, she she she lost, I'm not gonna say everything, but she lost a lot, a significant amount. I don't know if you saw that, you saw that documentary on uh Prime? No that she did? No, no, yeah, it was like a little docuseries type thing.

SPEAKER_08 23:44

No, I didn't see that one.

SPEAKER_07 23:46

None, yeah, like a little doctor. I'm not gonna say biopay, because it was actual like interview throughout the entire thing.

SPEAKER_10 23:53

Okay. You said it's on Prime?

SPEAKER_07 23:57

It was on Prime. I don't know about now. That was man long ago, though. That's been like an extra.

SPEAKER_10 24:03

I love anything, Mary J. Blige, because I feel like she's an enigma. Like she's such she's so mysterious. Like, you really don't know too much about her. Yeah. And she's very reclusive, she's to herself. She don't really hang out with a lot of people, she don't trust a lot of fucking people. Like, like, like I, you know, the only rapper I really sing or hanging out with is like Fab sometimes.

SPEAKER_05 24:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 24:22

Yeah. Like, like I don't I don't really see her with a lot of people. Like, she really be to herself. She's not married no more. She be chillin'. So people, people like that, like I'd be really interested in like their stories. I know her story, but I feel like there's more to it. Yeah. You know.

SPEAKER_07 24:39

I think a lot of us who are, you know.

SPEAKER_10 24:43

I wonder how much those tickets are going for that for that uh residency.

SPEAKER_07 24:47

I didn't even look it up.

SPEAKER_10 24:49

Yeah. I should have looked into that before we even started this shit. Let me see.

SPEAKER_07 25:00

I mean shit, since we've been looking at it. That will give me a good We've been looking at uh oh wow.

SPEAKER_10 25:08

How much they could range anywhere between 150 to like 300.

SPEAKER_07 25:14

That's not bad at all. That's not bad at all. It's better than these Chris Brown Usher prices. Mm-hmm.

unknown 25:22

SPEAKER_10 25:23

Yeah, I'm looking at anything between 150 to 300.

SPEAKER_07 25:27

Bunny ranch. You either go out there to gamble, get hitched, go to a bunny ranch, or or or or or yeah, that's it. That's about it. That's really about it. Like everything else that comes with it, comes with it. Like, it's we of course it's the city of Sin. It's Sin City, you know what I mean? Like, we all know what the fuck is out there. Gambling, prostitution, drugs, all type of shit, or whatever. But the only thing you really go out to gambling, I mean, to Vegas for is for gambling to get hit. All of the above. Or or what was the third thing you said? The bunny ranch. Bunny ranch. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 27:46

That's about it.

SPEAKER_10 27:47

It's not much, guys. Not Mary J. Blige, man. I'll wait till she comes to New York.

SPEAKER_07 27:50

Yeah, bring your ass home.

SPEAKER_10 27:52

Nah, but them prices are gonna you're gonna get head cracked. But I see Mary at Barclays. She's not um, I don't think she'd be at the garden.

SPEAKER_07 28:00

I saw her at the hip hop 50th for like 0.5 seconds.

SPEAKER_10 28:04

That was the stadium? Yeah, that was cool. That's fire. I really wish I didn't miss that one. That's fire.

SPEAKER_07 28:17

Anyway.

SPEAKER_10 28:19

Yeah, um, I didn't know a cup though. What's wrong with you? I don't know, man. You're right. Yeah, I'm good. Also, I'm getting I'm getting hungry now. Like, I'm not even gonna lie, I'm getting fucking hungry. Maybe. Maybe. Why are you whispering? Just fucking talk.

SPEAKER_07 28:39

No, I'm not gonna say what the fuck I'm saying on the mic. Jesus Christ. They don't need to hear what I'm about to say. Or what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_10 28:45

I already gotta edit this shit, so we might as well just go ahead and talk. Like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_07 28:50

Fix your cup. Fix your cup.

SPEAKER_10 28:52

So you gotta have another cup. Fix my cup. Alright, we're back. Oh man, I went to get pretzels. Reloaded on this prosecco.

SPEAKER_07 29:10

Have to drop a deuce. Listen, I'm I'm honest. You ain't got to say that. Sorry. Sorry. Case y'all was wondering. Anyhow. My son got his pretzels, the bubbly. He trying to be draw draw for real.

SPEAKER_10 29:36

Oh, that's fucked up.

SPEAKER_07 29:42

No shade, no tea. Speaking of which, shade and tea. There was a lot of shade. But it wasn't against each other. So I appreciated that. Right.

SPEAKER_10 29:54

Okay. I know that's really good now.

SPEAKER_07 29:56

You know. Mm-hmm. Excuse me. Mr. Ricky Ross, the boss himself. Huh? French Montana versus. Don't know if you guys tuned into it. I was able to tune in for a little bit. Had some family shit going on, so I couldn't really, you know. And I was at work. When it first started, I was just basically almost getting out of work. Yeah. Why I pff, yeah. And then Family Matters after, literally. Like, but from what I was able to see. They did they big one or whatever. Okay. I feel like French was obviously like bangers. Yeah, man. Yeah. Of course. You know, put on for the city. I said that last episode too. For the Bronx, like, you know. Yeah. Ross, of course. I think I'm big mates. Like. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_10 30:53

Like um. Ross. Ross had Ross had like a lot of hits. Yeah. Excuse me. And classics and shit like that. French had the clubbangers.

SPEAKER_07 31:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 31:07

I heard that was the theme of the verses. But no, it ended up being some homie type of shit or whatever. Like they would end up. It wasn't like a like a like a It was a link up for me. I feel like. Yeah, I just felt like it was like just two just two dudes getting their shit off, just chilling. It didn't come off like a competition. No, no, like no kind of no competitive shit at all. It was very enjoyable. It was weird as well. I've really taken French as the winner. In my opinion. I mean. In my opinion. My opinion. And with all due to with all due respect to Rick Ross, like man, catalog is out of this world. Like his arsenal that night was also out of this world, or but I don't know. I feel like uh some of them Drake singles would have helped you out. It would have helped change my mind a little bit. But you know, it was Mad Shade towards uh Jersey.

SPEAKER_07 32:03

Towards Iceman, aka Drizzy. Six guard. He himself, the grim.

SPEAKER_10 32:13

But the internet's divided on this shit. Like we divided on who like really won. I don't think it really fucking matters, honestly speaking, because I feel like it was a tie, I ain't gonna lie. It wouldn't even matter who won, lost, tie. Like it won lose drove. The matchup was just not like I said last episode, like I didn't see a reason for that matchup. Like it was a call in for that.

SPEAKER_07 32:36

For the for the hell would think dramatized yo, you know who the fuck would beat Rick Ross in the verses.

SPEAKER_10 32:43

Yo, French Montana, nobody thought about that.

SPEAKER_07 32:47

At all. Because I wasn't even thinking about it.

SPEAKER_10 32:51

They're good friends, two different rappers in two different lanes, bro. Like that's yeah, I don't know. Well, speaking of Ross and Drake, though. How do you feel about him? Yeah, how do you feel about him? But he he'd been doing this in every show that he does, because I see him at clubs and he performed that song.

SPEAKER_07 33:09

I mean, I would too if I would have got whooped out of damn Toronto. Fuck.

SPEAKER_10 33:15

I definitely got about that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like you do realize that I will be a head, boy. Rick Russ jumped in that beat for no reason, though. Yeah, that was well, we don't know.

SPEAKER_07 33:27

Uh you can't say that. Because we don't know what's really going on behind the scenes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I don't think people gonna be just sitting there throwing subliminals or you know what I'm saying, saying certain things to to spark something up if they not doing it like in cahoots. You know what I'm saying? Like Who just sat down with Angie, right?

SPEAKER_10 33:46

With Nessa. Oh, it was with Nessa. Nessa on Hot 97, and he was just saying that he ain't really had no smoke with the man. Like he's wanting him to do better or some shit like that. And I'm like, wait.

SPEAKER_07 33:57

But do better with what? Like, I feel like everybody feels like that about Drake. What is what is even even I did.

SPEAKER_10 34:06

Like the quality, the quality of his music did like die down a lot, like drastically. Like, I'm yeah. I mean, but that's because we listen to him because we're diehard fans, like, you know, because we're gonna we're gonna keep supporting him, right? But like, I gotta be honest, like, the quality of his music did die, like I say, around you say this shit all the time, but I do say this shit all the time.

SPEAKER_07 34:27

I I this is where we our opinions differ, they differentiate from one another. Because I just feel like he's he's going with the flow. You know what I'm saying? Like, this is what this is what the sound is like right now. This is what I'm gonna put out there to the people, the listeners. You know what I'm saying? Like this is they wave, like, and every time a new face comes about, I'm gonna pause, jump on that wagon, and be like, alright.

SPEAKER_10 35:00

But could could you argue that there's a way that you can do that and staying true to yourself at the same time, instead of you just like doing that just to like appease the the masses, like you trying to sound like the like everybody else, but like but in a Drake way, but like just do that. But you've been doing that, you've been doing you've been taking everybody's shit and then doing it in your Drake way your whole career. I don't feel like he's doing that too often nowadays. It's just more like if it's if it sounds like Yeet, I'm gonna sound like Yeet. Like, I'm not even gonna sound like Drake doing Yeet. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know if I'm making any fucking sense or whatever.

SPEAKER_06 35:38

I but But maybe that's just maybe that's not like he's trying to be too cool.

SPEAKER_10 35:44

And Drake been cool without even that Drake been cool without even trying to be cool his whole career. Now it's not like he's trying to be cool. If that makes any sense. No, it makes a lot. I hate it. Like he'd been saying fly shit like early in his career. Like fly shit, like shit that we never even heard of before. Like, I'm at the B blows, the boat rocking back and forth with some Leah shit. What the fuck are you talking about? Like, but that's just so fine, though, my nigga. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm just so much shit like that. Spaghetti bowling ass at the polo lounge. What, nigga? That's flying as a motherfucker. I had to do my Googles, nigga. Like, that's crazy. Look, like yeah, I'm just saying, like, you know what I mean? Like, now it's just sound like he's just trying to be cool. Nigga, you been sounding cool, just saying shit that we ain't never like and it's medicine. You can think of a million bars of a place that this nigga has mentioned or or or food that he has ate or a bottle of liquor that he has that you have never heard of in your fucking life. Now you're talking about I don't know, man. I just feel like after Certified Love a Boy, the quality kind of went down.

SPEAKER_07 36:55

And I feel like I feel like a lot of people feel that way because he's versatile. He that's like you saying, I'm not being true to myself if I want to sit there and explore other things, knowing that one, I'm eclectic, and then two, I'm versatile. You taught you throw whatever beat at me, and I'm gonna I'm gonna come up with something. Right. And granted, well, no, not granted. Obviously, I'm gonna make it a tempting. Okay, yeah, because this is who I am in the sense of like, okay, yeah, that that may it may not be my permanent sound. It may not be something that people are familiar with or accustomed to.

SPEAKER_05 37:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 37:41

Me as an artist. However, I'm giving I'm delivering what the people were asking for. You know what I'm saying? But in my own way. I'm tweaking it, like you're still getting me. Yeah. You understand what I'm saying? And I and I think that's the misconception. And there's it's like that fine line. There's a lot of great areas around that topic because maybe maybe it could be all the things that you're saying. I'm not gonna sit here, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to agree to disagree, yes. You know, but maybe that's it's also what I'm saying, or maybe it's something else. We don't know. But at the same time, people still fuck with it though. He's still getting more screens.

SPEAKER_10 38:21

He's been the the number one guy for 15 years straight. Yeah. But I I I don't know, man. Like, I I kind of feel like I kind of I kinda I kind of feel like Drake is just appeasing the masses. And but I yeah, I guess we're just gonna agree to disagree.

SPEAKER_07 38:39

I also feel like he's all he's he's doing what he what Drake wants to do.

SPEAKER_10 38:44

And he's supposed to do that, like he's supposed to appease the masses because that's how you keep, you know, doing it. State number one or whatever. Yeah, like this is how you keep gaining popularity. But I feel like us day one listeners and even the new listeners or whatever, they we all ask for the same thing. We all still we only want to hear the lyrical miracle Drake. Like, we don't want to hear like I don't know, I don't know. Singing Ash. What let me let me let me ask you about this. What's your favorite Drake album?

SPEAKER_07 39:15

We had this conversation already.

SPEAKER_10 39:17

No, but no, no, I I know we did, but what like off-rip? What's your favorite Drake album?

SPEAKER_07 39:22

I can't go off rip. I gotta think about that because I got two.

SPEAKER_10 39:26

So that's that's just the first one off the top of your head. Alright, views. And that was yeah, right. And that tells me a lot as to what type of Drake that you like to listen to.

SPEAKER_07 39:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 39:35

Views ain't I love views. Views ain't for all the dogs. Like, it's not that. Yeah. Two two different sound of things. Like, if if if that if that was your favorite Drake, or I like the I like the Drake that sounds like he's super young or whatever. And that shit is cool. This is that's for somebody. But you don't goddamn whether it ain't for you. But I do, I do certify love boy. I feel like he was jumping off that edge, and then he was leaning into the uh the young shit. Yeah, and which Drake does he in a in a in a in a very perfect Drake way, but you can tell, like, it's just like okay, cool. It's not as like there's no substance there or whatever. Everything is just every song on that album kind of sound like a filler. But fly ass fillers, fillers though, or whatever. And then me being an artist, I know the importance of fillers or whatever, but when your whole album sounds like I just wanted to record this because I needed this to be. Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_07 40:29

I love the fucking we'd be in the car and he'd be singing this word for word, right along with me and Drake. I'm not denying that. Champagne Bobby. Not denying that at all.

SPEAKER_10 40:39

Not denying that at all. But whatever, we got off subject, but but but Ross spoke about this man on Hot 97 with and before that he had spoken on Apple versus TV with Ebro or whatever. Yeah. And it sounded like he was kind of not begging Drake up, but he was like giving him some type of positive advice, and then he doubled down on Ness and Hot 97 and spoke about the same shit again. He was like, not hating on a man. I just like you know, if you that if you're that guy, I want to I want to see you shine or whatever. That's it.

SPEAKER_07 41:08

Like, and I'm like I feel like he just feels like he's corny.

SPEAKER_10 41:12

I feel like he's doing this because the Iceman are about to come out, he knows that shit about to do numbers. Trying to come back on his good graces.

SPEAKER_07 41:19

But even no, I don't even think it has nothing to do with that. I think it has to do with like you sitting there talking about him, you giving him that attention, you know what I'm saying? Like you putting that light back on him either way, because you're you're bringing him up, you know. So maybe yeah, promotion, exactly. That could be a part of the rollout. Because you remember the same way, like with after the whole, you know, fuck the streets with 21 and how everybody was saying there was some people who was jacking it, or some people who weren't, right?

SPEAKER_08 41:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 41:50

Um and then all of a sudden, Drake and Thugger talking again, future, yeah, this one, that one. You know what I'm saying? So maybe it could be another one of those type of situations too.

SPEAKER_10 42:05

Cause also I just googled that Ross's reason for beefing it with Drake was that because Drake didn't clear uh a verse for French Montana's album, which he also ended up clearing on the verses. So they actually end up performing the song and the verses. So that is that kind of telling like that are they kind of like killing the beef between him and Ross or some shit? Like French is the middle the middleman that kind of like helped bridge that but that was Ross' reason for beefing with Drake because he didn't clear verse. That French didn't even give a shit about it. He's like, Alright, that's cool.

SPEAKER_07 42:43

But Ross kept it at He took it personal because that's his man's.

SPEAKER_10 42:46

Yeah. I mean, but Ross got a history of doing it. He did this to 50 cents too. Like he just created a beef out of no out of thin air.

SPEAKER_07 42:55

You felt some type of way because your homie. Not that French felt some type of way, but I got I got it though. That's but that's Drake's homie too.

SPEAKER_10 43:06

So it's not like it's not even like he didn't piss them or some shit.

SPEAKER_07 43:10

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 43:10

That's what I'm saying. Like he's it probably was a legit reason for that shit. Like, we don't fucking know, like the inside. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 43:17

Maybe he outshine them.

SPEAKER_10 43:18

Because they ain't like drinking drinking French and fucking French, too.

SPEAKER_07 43:21

Yeah. I don't know, guys. I guess this is something that we gotta talk about. I mean, since we're talking about Drake, you wanna just go straight into that or you wanna still leave it last and then leave C B. With the um we talk about joke might as well.

SPEAKER_10 43:40

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's about the Iceman.

SPEAKER_07 43:42

That made that makes sense, right? Makes a lot of sense. Anyway, of course. Speaking of which, Iceman, Iceman, Iceman, how you feeling about this? Two days, Poppy. Two days. Literally a day, actually.

SPEAKER_10 43:56

I'm actually excited, but I don't I don't see a lot of excitement. Excitement like in the internet space or whatever. But the reason for that, I feel like, is because usually when Drake drops an album, it's not usually announced. Like he just surprised drop. Like so, like, I'm like, I usually will hear I I should hear more noise, but no, I'm excited. I'm actually excited. I know like I'm getting old and all that. And but it's been like two years since we got like a fucking solid like project from Drake. I'm absolutely excited. I'm excited to spend a whole month just listening to that single thing, and like because that's what I do with every Drake album. Like it'd be it literally be like Anna's gonna hate me. My Bible. Like I wake up, listen to it, I go to sleep, listen to it. I'm bringing up my air matches.

SPEAKER_07 44:42

I might get packed up and hold them.

SPEAKER_10 44:44

I'm dead. I'm dead. A month. That's it. I'm hearing from my industry sources and streamers and journalists that this is uh this is expected to be like some of his best, most solid work. What about I'm excited? How about you? Yeah, I know. You said you're gonna get the air mattress, you're gonna get packed up. I don't know, all that shit. You have to get a weekend weekend or bag on type of shit.

SPEAKER_07 45:10

I get it. I'm excited. It's been a long time coming, but uh pause. Yeah. Can't rush perfection or greatness. No, you know, so of course not. I think that was one of the supposed tracks. They said that he he revealed the track list. That's true. I don't think so. Was that?

SPEAKER_10 45:28

You can't believe everything on the internet.

SPEAKER_07 45:29

You know, I didn't get to go look at his um his page. His uh story, but Drake just does Kedrick Lamar on the newly surfaced song.

SPEAKER_10 45:40

I'm hearing.

SPEAKER_07 45:41

What's that? Hold on. What's that?

unknown 45:47

Can't listen. No.

SPEAKER_07 45:50

That's Family Matters. Yeah, that's family matters. They got me excited. My bad.

SPEAKER_10 45:53

But I just opened Instagram and it said that he has a timestamp song that just leaked called 1 a.m. in Albany.

SPEAKER_07 46:00

And Albany. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 46:04

That's fire. And you did send a question as to what is your favorite type of Drake. That is my favorite type of Drake. Timestamp Drake. Timestamp drink. I love Timestamp Drake, man. That's gotta be like some of the most vulnerable, most like lyrical versions of Drake that there is or whatever. Love me. Love Timestamp Drake. From 9 a.m. in Dallas to 4 p.m. in Calabasas, 5 a.m. in Toronto. I can't think of anything else, but there's more. 6 p.m. in New York. There's a lot more. Yeah, there's a lot more.

SPEAKER_07 46:41

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_10 46:42

Yeah, and it's with this album. I'm just understanding five things that I want and need on this album because to be fair, he ain't never gonna really be the same. Nobody, nobody will. Everybody gotta evolve at some point. But here's the thing I need from Drake. Five things.

SPEAKER_07 46:57

Five things.

SPEAKER_10 46:58

I need a fire ass intro. Okay. Like that's a given. I need a fire ass intro. I need a timestamp song, which I think we uh see that we probably already probably possibly have, or whatever. I need him to I need to have 40's assistants on this shit. And I need him to not mention the beef. Just move on. But that could be wishful thinking. And I need some I need some dope ass RB records. Yeah, those those are the five things I need. Well shit. And I feel like uh four out of five of those things is what I always look forward to when he drops.

SPEAKER_08 47:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 47:41

He usually don't get into beef with anybody, but I don't want to hear I I I honestly I don't want to hear any mentions of the of the beef from two years ago. I don't. Well, so that's one of the main things I said.

SPEAKER_06 47:53

He's throwing shots at um at Rocky.

SPEAKER_10 47:56

You can throw shots at everybody else. Yeah, because he ain't never really addressed them niggas. Like I don't want to hear no Kendrick shots, bro, like at all. Like I feel like that's gonna throw me off for some reason. I don't have a real reason as to why that would. You do. You said it before. What did I say?

SPEAKER_07 48:14

You said that it would be it'll be way too long overdue for him to get his leg back two years later.

SPEAKER_10 48:20

Yeah, that's probably okay. That that sounds like mean. Yeah, like and and I agree with you. Yeah, I don't want to hear that shit, man. You should have handled it back then. You should have kept on going if that's how you really felt. Just kept on going. After I heard the hard part six, it sounded like the nigga gave up, bro. And I was like, you can hear it in his fucking, it sounded like he was just like defeated. And I'm and I hated that shit. I'm like, yo, because I really want him to kill that fucking midget. I was just like, nothing. He sounded so that yo, no, or for first listen, sis. I swear to god, I'm like, the hard part six sound like this nigga is just waving the white flag, like, nah, if you fucking hear his a lot. Nah, man. I don't want to hear him mention shit.

SPEAKER_07 49:02

What if he felt like he needed to do that to bring K Da out of like whatever hiatus he was on or some shit?

SPEAKER_10 49:10

This nigga went on a not like us run for two years straight with the Super Bowl and the Grammys. Fuck this nigga, man. And I love Kendrick. But I just really I just really hate it because you know why? Oh, that's a fucking crazy take. What? What? I don't know. That's a crazy ass tape. What? He don't deserve none of that shit off of the back of Drake. Like he really got that shit off on Drake. And no, and kudos, my hat's off to him. But for a nigga that be taking that much time off and to drop albums in between, and then you just come out of nowhere and you just got lucky. You swung and hit. You got lucky, my nigga. Like you really did. Like, you really did. And I might sound like a fucking hater right now. Because I think I I think I do honestly sound like a hater right now, but like fuck it. I didn't like that not one bit because this nigga Drake is really a great artist. He's probably the greatest artist of our time. He didn't deserve that. And I feel like he was trying so hard to you know to to to win that. I feel I feel like I'm going over the tangent right now.

SPEAKER_07 50:16

No, no, no, no. Speak how you feel. I think I think the people need to hear it.

SPEAKER_10 50:20

Yeah, I'm just, you know, I no, they don't. And I don't want to put too much on Iceman. I'm really looking forward to this album. I don't want to put too much on Iceman before.

SPEAKER_07 50:29

For real, because if you know what if he don't deliver the way that we are We're expecting him to. Yeah, like, cause what which one is which one was it that we was we was like a little like, hold up. That wasn't it? No, that we we had to listen to a couple of times to be like, alright, yeah, now I like it a little bit. But then we eventually like it made it to the list eventually. Which one was that? That was um it was a certified lover boy, was it? No. I don't know.

SPEAKER_10 51:03

No, it was um and I can't count her loss. That was a 21 savage collab. That was a cool. The shit with PND. No. Well, but that that one for me, it took me a while. It took me a while. It's actually still taking it's actually still taking me.

SPEAKER_07 51:21

Yeah, it's for me too. Like I'm still like trying to get used to like Crying and Chanel. I like, of course, Nokia Nokia.

SPEAKER_10 51:29

Um honestly never mind. I think I like that one off rip because it was so different. Because with the Ed, all that house and EDM and all that shit, and Afro beats and all that shit. It was And then for all the dogs? Is it for all the dogs?

SPEAKER_07 51:46

Oh no, all the dogs, uh I was jacking. Oh yeah. Yeah. Damn, what what? I don't know. I I just don't I just really hope that he he delivers us like what we're looking forward to. Like And we always say that we're not gonna get what are you looking forward to to this new album?

SPEAKER_10 52:13

Like fucking 2010 Drake or Yeah, and and that's kind of not fair to him that we always look forward to like So Far Gone or Take Care of Drake. We're not gonna do that. Like we're not getting that. But I was certified level of it. Like, but there is a way that you can sound like that, but like be relevant to us today too at the same time. Like, am I lying or am I flying? Like, what's going on? I feel like even me, like, I did that. Like, you know what I mean? Like not to use me as an example, like I'm not a I'm not a Drake, I'm not a hope or nothing like that, but like I found a way to whatever style I had back in 2011 or whatever, I found a way to make it relevant and sound the same like that, but in 20 in the 2020s. I think you can. Like, you don't have to like sell yourself out. And you know, so what'd you think? You feel like he's a sellout? I didn't I didn't say that, but like I mean, I'm just saying, because the man definitely got potential to be great. And maybe there's a reason why he was doing that. Maybe he wanted to put up what he felt was bullshit music because he wanted to fulfill his obligations with his label or some shit like that.

SPEAKER_07 53:23

Yeah, that's what that's what I was saying earlier.

SPEAKER_10 53:25

That's why I'm giving him grace. But it's like it's so much on this Iceman shit, even after the defeat, like Kendra kicking his ass and him having a hiatus for two years, not really putting shit out. Like, yeah, it's not just like whatever standards that I have that I expect out of a Drake album, but there's also the whole world looking. It's like, okay, you has bets to deliver, my man. Like you you have to.

SPEAKER_07 53:49

How many what's the what's the what's the most tracks on on a project that you could uh appreciate Drake? Alright, my my this this project. Sorry. Okay this project. How many tracks are you expecting? Since it's been two years.

SPEAKER_10 54:13

He's gonna put out 20 plus tracks. He also put out like 20 plus tracks. What I feel like would be like the perfect amount of songs on a on a Drake album, because we don't we don't need we don't need too much. I feel like but then I I get my niggas be putting fillers on there because I I put out projects myself. But I feel like I feel like a good and for longevity projects, I like I feel like a good third like 13 to 15 songs, something like that.

SPEAKER_07 54:43

Okay, yeah, I was on 15.

SPEAKER_10 54:45

You know what I mean? Like 13 to 15 songs, like solid fucking like strong songs, like you need like a 13 to 15 strong song or whatever. And that's how niggas get classic status, whatever, like because you you and then then there's then and then this uh day and age, like everybody likes everything all short and to the point and all that. They want to concise, they want to clear and all that attention span is so much shorter, whatever. So when you putting out like 28 songs and all that, like it's it's it's too much. Like people even back in the day, I feel like that was too much.

SPEAKER_07 55:15

Like it was too much. Cause I'll be sitting in the car, like, when is this album gonna stop? Can you change the CD to now?

SPEAKER_10 55:24

Yeah, you remember those the now some of these albums be fucked with just too much fillers, like just shit that like bullshit, like not bullshit, but like just the songs that ain't really got no no no no direction towards them. They just like just yeah, just hold that, whatever.

SPEAKER_07 55:38

Here's a nice little you know, no substance, yeah, no nothing.

SPEAKER_10 55:44

Yeah, no, just dry, like what sad, boring. Thriller is like Apple Music's like in the top 100 and something like that. Nine songs. Nine songs on that fucking album. Facts. Nine, that's thriller. That's Mike, that's Mike Jack, my nigga. Niggas see him on the stage, they fucking die on the fucking crowd. Like, that's Mike Jack. Nine tracks, nigga. Nine.

SPEAKER_07 56:09

Nine. Nine nine is crazy.

SPEAKER_10 56:12

Nine is crazy.

SPEAKER_07 56:13

Classic. That was an icebreaker for me. I worked the other day. What was your favorite? Mike Jack? What was your favorite MJ like song? Yo, and half of that, half of that room, half of that room was like, oh, I'm not a fan. Or listen to that. But you know why?

SPEAKER_10 56:31

Because I work with a whole bunch of uh Gen Z and Yeah, because they don't go believe the whole that he touched kids and all that shit, I bet, right?

SPEAKER_07 56:42

Who knows? I don't know. I think also because they're not diverse, you know what I'm saying? He ain't touch no kids, you know, multiple like.

SPEAKER_10 56:50

Like it's R. Kelly touching kids before they even found shit about Michael Jackson touching kids.

SPEAKER_07 56:55

Which is surprising to me though, also, because a lot of Hispanic people listen to MJ. And major that that half, that percentage that was saying that they weren't fans or they didn't listen to him. I'm like, how? I'm more than sure somebody in your household was listening to him. You know what I'm saying? Not facts. So what is that about? But anyway, I put What was your favorite song?

SPEAKER_06 57:19

You back now, hey.

SPEAKER_10 57:23

Oh, that's more on the current side.

SPEAKER_08 57:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 57:28

I like more old, old, old, old MJ. Yeah. I'm gonna fuck you up, Astro. I swear to God.

SPEAKER_07 57:34

Leave him alone. We're not doing this, man.

SPEAKER_10 57:36

But yeah, anyway, um start your nonsense. What are you looking forward for in an Iceman album? What am I looking forward to? Yeah. I mean, yes, I need a fire intro. I need a timestamp song. I need I need I need 40 to be all over this bitch. I need cause 40's been missing.

SPEAKER_07 57:55

40 has been missing.

SPEAKER_10 57:56

You ain't hear 40 and know her loss. You ain't hear him, like you really ain't hear nothing from him. Yeah. And I just need him not to mention the beef. And I need some dope RB records too. I definitely need that.

SPEAKER_07 58:07

Yeah, so what I need is RB. Mm-hmm. What I also need is at least if it is gonna be 20 plus, like you say, you said 13 and 15, I say 15.

SPEAKER_10 58:22

No, I said that's that's the perfect amount that I would. That's what I'm saying. But he's gonna give us 20 something. Perhaps. I'm sure he would. If he gives me a double lesson, less than that.

SPEAKER_07 58:32

Well, no, that's what people are saying online. Yeah, we don't. I don't know how true that is. If it happens, then I will be very much appreciative. I would appreciate that very much so because you know it's been a very long time. Two years is like ridiculous. It's beyond me. But I digress, Aubrey. Orbs. Mr. Graham. You don't do it for the gram, but you do it for the grams. Oh shit. You know, I mean you know, I think you know what I'm saying. I think you you're gathering where I'm coming from.

SPEAKER_10 59:10

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

SPEAKER_07 59:11

No, I'm talking to him right now.

SPEAKER_10 59:12

Oh, I'm sure he is too.

SPEAKER_07 59:14

He better be listening. No, for sure. No, um, but I'm also looking forward to like I don't know. I think for all the dogs, I felt like he was slowly creeping back into the real him in a way, in a sense. In a sense. In a sense. Holy shit. You don't feel like that? No, hell no. I'm talking lyrically, like I feel like a lot of people are also like misconstruing his talking on a beat for what other people are doing. Like as far as like when we be like, oh, they ain't doing nothing but making noise, or they're just talking, they're not even spitting.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:00

I don't even feel like he was witty on that one. I mean, lyrical now. I think he was witty. For all the dogs, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:07

Not for all of the songs. Not for all of the songs.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:12

The most lyrical song on there had to be middle of the ocean.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:15

Alright, middle of the ocean, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:16

That was like a that felt like a timestamp kind of song to me. It was lyrical. I'm about the baby loves and the I met the baby loves, you know, whatever the song you wrote. You know what I feel like I want out of him? I want him to gracefully bow out if this goes his way, though. If like if he dropped the album and numbers and he put out his music, oh yeah. That's that's a fire track.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:43

And you see, you see, like on this two, red button, I didn't mean to cut you off, but we were talking about and just I had to go looking. Red Button, stories about my brother, I always put that on on pictures. All that shit came out after he put out the album. Like he remember he added on Yes, but it was this too. But though no, well, Red Button came after because that's what I said. That's what I said. No, no, no. Yes, that came out after. I was agreeing with what you said. But what I'm saying on the first disc the actual album didn't include that. But it had 8 a.m. and Charlotte. Yeah, it did. Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:19

That and wait, that was that was on uh yes, yes, yes, yes. Her I'm bugging, middle of the ocean was on her loss. Yeah, we're tripping. Yeah, yes. Ada eight oh eight a.m. and Charlotte had the most that was the most lyrical song on that album. Correct. That was the most lyrical song, yes, correct. I stand correct in my bad.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:35

And that and that and that was one of the I feel like a timestamp song. Well, yes, it was a timestamp song, but it was also like one that stood out in the sense of like that was the Drake that everybody prefers.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:50

It did it did not feel concise with the album. That shit definitely stood out. That was definitely the yeah, the standout track.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:57

Facts. That's why when he dropped us two, I was like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is what I'm looking for. Right. Like in the sense of this is what the people are looking for. Also, even though we we also enjoy all the shit that he gaps, everything else. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:12

Me being a diehard fan, I'd enjoy everything that the man put out, but I also know that ain't him. That's that's my argument. That's what I'm trying to say. Like, I want him to get back to who he is. Like, you're fucking, you're gonna be 40 this year.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:25

Yo, not too much. Relax.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:28

Just because you made it there, like you know. Yo, first of all, nobody knew that. I said I was 25 last episode. Why are you telling people I'm 15 years older than the fucking shit that I sell the number?

SPEAKER_07 1:02:38

Oh my god. You don't look at you should thank the Lord Jesus. The man above.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:45

Anywho, I feel like once he put out this album and the album does good, I feel like you drop the album, you do the numbers, you put your music videos out, you do a tour, like you really capitalize off this album, but I think retirement and investments should really be in his forsaken future, like for sure. I feel like, in my opinion, there's this, like, there's no space for a Drake anymore. Like, it's not because he's too big of an entity, but it's clear as they that like the landscape ain't really trying to allow him to be Drake anymore because after the whole Kendrick beef. Like, niggas is all like it, yo, the album could be fucking flames, bro. It could be flames. It's still gonna be niggas that's gonna hate on a nigga because he lost the fucking Kendrick. Oh, fuck them all. That's a fucking I yeah, we can say that all we want, but my nigga, like, he still gotta do the numbers though. He still has to do the numbers though. And it's like this nigga just came out of nowhere, said his shit to Drake or whatever, and just undid 15 years of whatever this nigga just fucking built up. And I hate that for him. So I feel like, like, yo, just if you're gonna leave and Iceman ends up doing good, you leave on a high note.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:55

But numbers don't lie, people do. Yeah, Jake said it years ago. There was just a thing. Spotify, he's the most streamed artist of this of this fucking decade. Of the decade, yeah, and and in other categories as well. He surpassed so many people.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:17

So, like, what are we really talking about? Really?

SPEAKER_10 1:04:20

There's another reason why I feel like Drake should retire.

unknown 1:04:24

Joke. Stop.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:26

You know how people like to compare Drake to Jay-Z? Oh god, no, I I don't know. There really isn't really there. No. He's he's pretty much he pretty much does what Drake, what Jay does. He's like a braggadocious kind of rapper. Like a like they just talk about like the expensive shit that they have that nobody has never fucking experienced before. Like, am I lying?

SPEAKER_07 1:04:53

I mean, is there anything wrong with that though? Shit, I probably would have been doing the same shit too.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:57

But that just means that you you completed the game, my nigga. You finished the game.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:01

You fulfilled your purpose.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:02

Correct. Like, figure out what the fuck is going on after that. Like, what are we gonna keep you gonna reset the game and play it all over?

SPEAKER_07 1:05:10

No, you're gonna keep giving out G-Wagons. Thank you. Can I get one?

SPEAKER_10 1:05:14

These bitches do not need no G-Wagons and no Chanels and Birkins from fucking drink no more, my nigga. Like, no.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:19

I don't even want a G-Wagon. Just give me my Lexington.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:21

Niggas just get married, do some dope shit, like go own the Toronto Raptors or some shit like that.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:25

That man ain't getting married no time soon. I'm sorry. I don't even know why you even would say that. He's 40 years old. That don't mean nothing. Motherfuckers be in their 60s and still trying to figure shit out. I hear you, man. I hear you, you. I hear you. Alright, this ain't the bunny ranch, nigga.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:41

I hear you, my nigga. But I feel like he accomplished everything in his sports, so you gotta move on at some point.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:46

Yeah, well, maybe not. He's here to stay. And I appreciate you. Don't leave. Yeah, you don't leave, but leave the gate.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:56

Yo, he gotta retire as a rapper at some point, bro. He has to.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:59

Alright. Yes, at some point, but just not right now. I say I say once I enter my 40s, you can stop.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:08

Yeah, that's like another that's another 10 years, bro.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:11

All right. Oh, thank you. You made me feel so much younger.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:14

I said like I ain't say it is 10 years, nigga. I said like it's like another 10 years.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:20

He's trying to hint something, but I digress.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:22

I'm not trying to round off, nigga. That's what it is. What the fuck am I gonna give you a fucking round? I'm not rounding nothing off, bro.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:28

You sound like a hater for real.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:31

Never the time.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:32

Anyway. Never the time. Never the time.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:36

Whatever. Listen. Yeah, but um Yeah, you can't throw in the towel yet, Playboy.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:43

Before we go into the next subject.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:44

That's it. I'm sure he's back focused now.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:48

You did say that you don't want him to lose. Like you just said that.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:53

Yeah, and when I said that, it's it's so many conversations that go on, you know, off-camera where I feel like people won't would love for me to say I hate this in the forever. No, homie, it ain't that. You know what I mean? When you when somebody steps out of line and you gotta, you know, chastise chastise them with what you do. But is it one of those things where there's a conspiracy? Yeah, or no? Don't nobody feel Drake album related to that. Nobody.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:21

Is there a world where uh things can be you know in a in a better place between you two?

SPEAKER_00 1:07:28

And what I was saying on the radio was you know, he speaks to French. French says a lot of positive things that he maybe should send French or pecan pie for, you know what I mean? Because nobody wants to speak on his behalf to me. But French do. And that's what I made it clear. Like, yo, you know, if anything was to ever come from that, it'll come through French because it wouldn't directly come to Rose. Interesting.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:56

Yeah, it is. Um I'm I'm still slightly confused, man, because I know we all over the place with uh whole Drake shit, but too much. So are we keeping the same energy or we I'm not saying you're kissing ass or whatever, but it sounds like you're trying to clean shit up before this fucking album drop off Roddy or something like that. Like I'm highly confused.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:20

No, I think he also handled it like a boss, you know what I'm saying? Maybe that could be genuine.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:26

Two years later. You even jumped in unprovoked and without reason. Or even your reasoning was just fucking trash. You trying to speak for the next man who ain't even had a problem with that man to begin with.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:45

But he not the one that's in there bringing it out to the forefront. It's being brought to him. So would you expect him to be quiet? Who Drake? Ross.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:56

Alright, alright. No, you know what? What? Nah, that's fine. Yo, reactions. What?

SPEAKER_07 1:09:03

What no no no no no double back, bro? Yo, bro, if he if if it's being brought to you, why? Cause you going on interviews and shit? And he knows that they're gonna ask him shit, or they gonna like ask him to clear shit up, or like yo, listen.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:20

You if you're gonna go on interviews or whatever.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:22

Yes.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:23

Ross, first of all, Ross got an album coming out. I forgot the name. I forgot the name of it.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:27

Um some shit makes some something, Miami. That's a single, that's a new single. Oh, something may some shit.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:34

He does have an album coming out, so it's coming out. Right. You don't you don't find that like convenient that he's already sound like he's trying to clean shit up, but in a cool Rick Ross way between him and Drake or whatever, like it don't come off like that? Like that you don't feel that way at all. You think he just being mature? Like he just wanna fucking be a bigger person? Oh, set in star. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, set it, yeah. Do you want to see the cover art? You ready? Yeah. Let's see it. You're gonna fall the fuck out laughing. Nah, let me see it. I'm pretty sure it's the most amazing, most incredible cover art I've ever seen in my goddamn life. Yeah. Right. Whoever did that was Stone. I ain't even gonna hold you. I feel like it's it's like it doesn't look familiar to you. It looks like a couple of Rick Ross album covers. I'm not even gonna lie to you. What else do we have? One I can think of, it looked like Rich Forever. It looked like he's covered in fucking coke. That's one like somebody just threw coke on his all over him and his face.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:41

Alright, take a look, take a look a little closer. Look at that look a little bit closer. What that look like to you. What does he look like?

SPEAKER_10 1:10:51

Like yeah, sickle style. What else he looks like? He don't look frozen to you. Oh, you stupid dice man shit coming up and whatever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:01

But I'm just saying, I don't I don't know nothing.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:04

I'm just saying, bro. Like you did all that, man. I feel like you should just stand on business. You know, like I don't, I don't, I don't see why you just start like everybody's the play right now. Yeah, like like why did you start with the nigga and then all of a sudden you went on a rant for two years because you wanted you wanted to use that beef to kind of smoke hype him up or like or boost him up or something like that. Like, but it didn't it didn't really work.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:30

Maybe he needed the attention. Maybe that's why he did it.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:33

That's why he did that to Fizzy back in the day. No, man, let me shut up.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:39

Let me ask you something. He's gonna drop his album soon. He is. Also, you gonna listen to it? Set in stone? Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:47

I didn't know it was coming out until today. You know, I haven't been a Rick Ross fan in like It's been that long. I don't know. I feel like after Yeah, I used to be a Rick Ross fan. I feel like ever since like um Mastermind was the last time I heard of him, of Rick Ross, Mastermind. I feel like ever since Port of Miami 2, right after that.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:07

Ever since the shit with the Mayback music shit with Dream Chasers, that shit, like how it was Rose, it was Meek, Omarion.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:20

He didn't handle that whole situation at all. Like Yeah. Like that whole shit fell apart.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:27

Quick, quick, fast, and a hurry.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:28

I feel like that's why it's like I forgot Omarion was a fucking made back music. I def forgot about that shit.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:35

Tell me what James Tell me tell me. Yeah, that M I Yeah, I should fight. I should fight. I don't know. So you don't think you're gonna listen to the album?

SPEAKER_10 1:12:52

Tell a song?

SPEAKER_07 1:12:55

Not one song.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:57

Nah, man.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:58

Not even like one through five. Damn, why are you playing about some boss?

SPEAKER_10 1:13:02

I listen to Ross. No, no, I got I got no beef with Rook Rock Rick Ross. I'm just my beef with him is yo, stick to what you was talking saying.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:11

Like you was talking about calling him white boy or type of shit. Just say that you want him to stand on business.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:17

I want him to stand on business. Alright, that's it. I want to stand on business. Do the same shit you was doing with 50 when I was. You've been beefing with you No, because you've been beefing with 50 for years, like for no reason. You jumped into some shit that wasn't that had nothing to do with you. But you standing on business with that nigga?

SPEAKER_07 1:13:32

That's that Florida shit.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:34

Do the same thing with Drake. It's because Drake is still relevant.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:37

You need the relevancy. That's that Florida shit, like I said. I know a lot of cats from Florida that would just be, you know, jumping into Kool-Aid, don't even know the flavor. Yeah, yeah. Even though they look like the flavor, but they not. They're not. Kool-Aid man. Fucking Kool-Aid man. Yo, anyway.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:56

Speaking of Kool-Aid, man. The coolest man in this RB shit, man. My man Chris Brown, he just dropped that brown album. Man. He dropped that brown album. That shit. How you feel about that? Not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. Huh?

SPEAKER_07 1:14:16

It's an incredible album. Alright, I got to track three.

unknown 1:14:20

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_07 1:14:22

Which is surprising for me. No, no, no, no, no. Well, no, it's not that surprising. You know why? Bro, what? Yeah, I had to drop that bombshell real quick. Which is it is kind of like. Because it's C B. It is C B. You got the track three. I mean, I at least it's downloaded on my phone.

SPEAKER_10 1:14:42

Listen to it. Why are we even doing this then? What do you mean? We can't talk about this album if you ain't listened to the fucking album.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:50

No. I've like, no, I'm saying like I listened one through three by like actually listening to it, but then like the rest was playing in my background, if you get what I'm saying. Because as I was doing my notes, like I was listening to it, but I was doing my notes. So I wasn't like really settling in. But the first three I can't go back and forth with you, though.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:10

I I got notes about the intro.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:12

I felt like the intro took too long to start. I wasn't like in the mood to hear all of that. Like it was too prolonged. Like I prefer for it to like just get straight to the point. And I don't know if it was because it was giving like Usher Confession vibes, like you on some superstar.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:32

Nah, you know. I think that I think the intro, I didn't like the intro either. The intro sound AI generated to me.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:38

Yeah, I wasn't really jacking that.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:40

It sounded like he chat GBT the lyrics, and he has sing No, as no, no, no, and I'm not even taking away from Chris Brown's sing run songwriting ability because the nigga's a great, he's an amazing songwriter. But to me, for some reason, this intro sound like he had got it off of chat GBT and he kind of switched some shit around to make it sound like him. And I got two reasons for that. Let me hear you. Okay, for one, it it sounded robotic to me. Like at some at some points in the song, it kind of sounded robotic. It just sounded like it didn't it didn't feel natural coming from me. Two two damn what was two? Two, two, two was that he keeps fucking, he keeps fucking this intro. Sounds like every other fucking past intro from any fucking Chris Brown album, where it just sounds like he just keeps talking about the same shit. Not necessarily like he's getting some specifics, but obviously we already know about his past or whatever. But it's that his intro kind of just sounds like the same. It's like shadowing that's like a stigma. I don't give a fuck if you don't fuck with me. Yeah, my past is my past, and I'm past that, and I'm gonna try to. Yeah, and I'm like, you don't need to keep fucking doing that, my nigga. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't give a fuck like my career.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:04

And he knows what he did.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:06

And then three, yeah. This intro, if you caught it at least two, three times, it could be more. He kept stating that I wrote this song. We know you're right, Chris. We know you're right. You don't have to keep indicating that you wrote the song or whatever. So you saying that you wrote the song kind of gives off that you didn't write the song, my nigga. Like you just put it, you put it in the hands of fucking chat GPT, and then you you you you you you just edit, you altered some shit or whatever, and that's about it, whatever. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:39

I mean, he is big on AI and like robots and shit. I ain't know that. You I mean, you don't remember the Transformia video and all of that shit. Yeah, yeah. And then like his crib on no, but his crib on MTV cribs, his crib on MTV cribs, the shit like whenever like he would post, or like when he had Kai at his crib, you know what I'm saying? Like you could see his like the way his uh the layout of his crib and how like the walls, like he he tags, he he does all types of shit. And then like there's a whole bunch of like robotic-looking type of shit there too. Like he and a lot of his videos also incorporate a lot of AI. AI, yeah. So maybe you didn't write it. Maybe you did write it.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:24

You just told chat to clean it up. I'd rather you use AI in that sense when it comes to visuals and all that shit, but not when it comes to your songwriting capabilities. Like, that's that's crazy. Like, I felt like, and and maybe it's just me because I got an ear for certain shit like this, like that. I maybe maybe heard some shit that didn't sound too natural as a fucking songwriter or whatever. And I'm like, that intro did not sound natural to me or whatever. Whoever agrees that that was like his best intro in life is fucking sucking mad dick. Like, yeah, I think it was crazy. That that was not the best intro ever.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:55

You think that was like, did you ever see that show with The Weekend on HBO? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright, so yeah, do you think like that was like one of those moments where everybody was just high and they was just saying, like, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:10

That shows that show's great. Yeah. My opinion.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:14

Like, oh, like he had yes men around him. Yeah, a whole bunch of yes men. I don't feel like Chris got those type of friends, though. I don't feel like Chris got those type of friends, no. Nah. I feel like he put out solid albums, you know.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:26

You feel like he got a lot of solid fools around him?

SPEAKER_10 1:19:29

I think he got some solid people around him. Chris ain't really put out a miss. He ain't really put out a miss. Just think about it. I mean Yo, he he been in the game for 21 years, put out 12 albums, and and damn near all of them has done like really well.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:44

Yeah, but I'm not gonna lie, there was one album that I did for.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:47

Independently. Which album was that?

SPEAKER_07 1:19:50

Um, was it the Royalty shit?

SPEAKER_10 1:19:53

I loved Royalty. That's the one with uh Back to Sleep.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:57

I didn't really care. Like, I'm gonna tell you when I stopped really tuning into his albums. Can I be honest? Yeah, of course. I think I officially stopped. Like I I try to get into Fan of a Fan.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:16

Oh yeah, Fan of a Fan was the that probably was like one of the ones I yo, and that'd be people people gonna kill us for that. Cause that that's kind of like a fan favorite. Well, you talking the mixtape or the album? The album.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:31

Because the mixtape was my shit with Tiger.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:34

Okay, so maybe people will agree with you. I don't think the album really did too much noise.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:38

No. But go ahead. Yeah, like the album I was in Jack It really. The mixtape, yes. Yeah, but yeah, so followed after was the royalty deluxe version, and I really didn't care. Gonna full move. Yeah. So this was the album where I officially was just like, alright, this I'm not really feeling it. And then the fact that it was 50 57 songs. 57 songs. Yeah. Like that's crazy. And I'm gonna be honest with you. The last song is the only song that I liked on that album. And you know what song that was? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know the choreography to that.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:27

Um, but anyway. Let's smart, let's smart that real quick because you say 57 songs on an album.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:31

Yeah, that's fucking ridiculous.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:33

But he's always been like that. Yeah, I was just gonna say that. I don't understand why people were complaining about the album being this album Brown being too long, and it's only 27 songs.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:41

It's only 27 songs.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:42

Well, for one, he's been dropping longer EPs since the Heartbreak album. And and and and and and and another reason why I hate this generation because not only one, like that's that's it's it's it's been a while that he's been dropping long ass fucking EPs. And and two, I'm just tired of this fucking this short form narrative of everybody just want to just fucking get to the point just real quick or whatever. Like, the videos gotta be fast, the songs gotta be one verse and all this shit. Like, I really hate that shit. Like, like you really need to just sit down and and and and just pay attention and and and dissect everything. Everything gotta catch your attention quickly nowadays, and everything gotta be fast. Like, shut the fuck up, sit back and enjoy some art.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:24

This is why this that generation don't currently currently hasn't produced any legends besides claiming ours as their own and and then simultaneously disrespecting them by saying shit like oh your album is too fucking long. Like, no. Let them folks work, it's a process. Yeah, it is. Music is good, it's it's food for the soul, you know what I mean? Like this food is this food's cooked, not microwave. You know what I mean? Like, enjoy that fucking enjoy that meal, bro. Like, I don't I don't get it. Like, this is like you should be grateful.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:52

Yeah, he's even doing it. That's what he does.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:54

This generation does not have no legends right now because y'all just like as soon as you hear a song, it's is is it's dub after one week, my nigga, and then you're on to the next shit. Yeah, I hate that. I fucking hate it.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:04

Like, you don't, you know what's crazy? Don't do that to Chris. I'll be feeling like, yo, I'll be riding in the Bronx, like, and I'll be sitting there like, yo, ain't that many people that's sitting there riding around jamming to the old shit? Like, you know, 90s to I just saw something earlier, like it said something about yo, it's like 90s, oh, the shit with Method Man when he said that he ain't performing no more because they didn't appreciate it, and nobody was even singing along to the songs with him and Red Man. Okay. So that was uh during the um summer jam shit or some shit like that. I think he performed that. But long story short, it was just it made me really think like, are they really the new aunties and uncles? Like, is this un music? Like, they not trying to hear that? That's crazy. Because then you don't know what good music is, you don't know what real music is. Just hear noise, and I'm not a fan of that. And honestly, like back to Chris, I appreciated anything during 2014 prior to that. Now, anything after 2014, I have to be honest. I'm probably like maybe two to three songs after 2014 from every other project that he's put out after that. Right, right.

SPEAKER_10 1:24:24

And this is why I kind of feel like um, and it's going back to go back to Drake, not to step on Chris Brown as his topic right now. It's kind of like this is why like everybody looks up to Drake or whatever, so I kind of feel like it's your responsibility to kind of like stay true to who you are as an artist, or like how you came up in this game or whatever, instead of like trying to like like fold and and be like the guys that's like coming after you, or whatever. Like, if anything, they owe it to you to be like you, or whatever, not you trying to be like them because you want to stay relevant. Bro, you a Drake. You are one of the most relevant fucking artists of all time, or whatever. Like, everybody is trying to be like you, my man, or whatever. But that goes to any artist like him, like a Chris Brown, like a fucking, like a say Kendra Lamar, like a J. Cole. Like you guys can just originally just be yourselves or whatever. And you know, people will fall in line. Like, they will wanna fucking like, you know what? I kind of fucking like how they did that. Just stay original, man.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:26

Like, who you think is gonna come after Chris Brown? Like, who you think is gonna be.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:30

As far as like RB legend.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:32

Like, who do you think is gonna who's gonna come after him for this generation? That Jayquan kid, or am I saying his name? Javon? Kid that Usher just signed. I'm not what's his name?

SPEAKER_10 1:25:44

I didn't I don't know his name.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:46

But he he he is a singing ass. He probably is, but he's a dancing ass.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:50

I gotta hear more of him to like he gotta be in my radar in order for me. And I'm not I'm not a nobody, whatever, but he's not on you know my radar for me to even consider him in a conversation like that or whatever. But like, for this we gotta have to talk about it. For now, the niggas that's making noise is probably like a Leon Thomas, probably like a uh Giveyon, probably like a What's this guy the weirdo? Uh this Teaso touchdown. There's I don't think he's Nate the Weirdo. Is that his name? Oh, I know you're talking about I don't know his fucking actual name or whatever. But uh, I'll this Friday. But I fuck with Leon though, right now. Like Leon, he's a great songwriter. He's wrote he's written and produced a lot of songs that you you probably wouldn't even have noticed that he did. He's very well behind the scenes, kind of like a dream, kind of like a Sean Garrett, kind of like a you know what I'm saying, like a can't think of any other writers right now, whatever, but yeah, he was low key with over this shit. Well, um this Chris Robin album is it's like it's an incredible experience overall. I like to see the growth because the songs, all the songs sound mature. Like this kind of has to be like one of his more most mature like projects to date. Or whatever. It doesn't sound like him just partying and want to do Coke off some light-skinned model's ass or some shit like that. Like it sounds very mature.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:14

It's probably what it took to get all them songs done, especially them 50s.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:18

I say three-fourths of the album I fuck with. Like, it's not ever there's not a lot of songs I f I don't fuck with on there. Like, I I don't like the intro. Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of that fucking intro. I wasn't a fan of that fallen track with Leon Thomas, actually. The shit that did the single, yeah, yeah. Shit that sounds like it's off the centers, off the centers soundtrack.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:39

Yeah, you was in jackets.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:40

No, because I don't I don't want people to take that gimmick, like leave that shit alone. Okay. I like that it was different, that he did something different, but like I me personally, I don't like that gimmick or whatever. Like, leave that shit right where it's at, bro. And uh it was a few songs towards the end out.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:58

Some vampires too though.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:03

Like if any fucking monster Chris by Wars, he would be a fucking man by the way. But I can't really pong anything over you because you only listen to fucking three songs, man.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:14

It's alright. It's alright. It's just C Bright.

SPEAKER_08 1:28:19

It's just C B.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:23

Listen. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_10 1:28:35

Nah, no.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:37

Discussion we was having through text, yeah. Oh boy. This motherfuckers got more money than us, yo. It's just too much. Too much. I need to come pay my bills. Shit. That should'll be a piece of cake walking the park. Probably less than a park.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:58

Probably less than a park.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:00

A square on the sidewalk. For y'all. Fuck.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:05

Half a breath. Half a breath. I think you have a breath for who do one square.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:14

I wanna be one of them. One of them uh what's them shit called? Influencers, ambassadors. You kinda are though, right? To come out with y'all you know, the next project, the next best project. You know, hint to the crowd and the the fans. Can I can I get 50 bands? 60 bands, fam? The fuck?

SPEAKER_10 1:29:57

Jesus Christ, man. I that yo, that's gotta be a good life to live, man. I'm really sick of these fucking people, man. I gotta fucking work for a living. Y'all can make my goddamn annual salary in one damn night. I hate it.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:09

It don't even take a night. It takes a few seconds. It takes a few seconds. Sitting here baiting, betting and shit.

SPEAKER_08 1:30:16

Fuck this bullshit, man. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:19

Make it 300, 400 grand off of like 50k. What? That's mad. How can I get that? Can I can I hold something?

SPEAKER_10 1:30:30

SPEAKER_07 1:30:56

It's not his son that's playing in it? Because I could have sworn it was his son that was playing in it.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:00

His son is John David Washington, that's his name. This nigga was on.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:03

Okay, so who's this guy?

SPEAKER_10 1:31:05

I just know that they it was a reboot. He was on uh Wonder Man on Marvel. Okay, and it would know. Oh yeah, I don't want to know. But if you ain't see it, that's that's that's an incredible limited series, though. I ain't gonna lie. Well, if it's a series, then it's like seven, eight episodes.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:19

I saw the movie with Denzel. Alright, so you seen the movie Denzel. Cool, cool, cool. Yes, and Dakota Fanning.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:25
