Speaker 2 (00:23):
What's happening house, What happening kid? I'm chilling, man, I'm chilling.
I was listening to the music, the intro music. It
was bringing back, bringing back memories, if you will, I know, right,
even the music video.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I think I watched that not too long ago. There
is a music video to that song. Everybody check it
out on YouTube video and welcome To'm saying no.

We had I think dalg Chill Mitchell was in that
too as well. He was in the famous fight scene
in the in the theater. What was that like a
tutor three day shoot of doing that music video?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You know, I'm not sure. One funny he wasn't one.
It's funny. One of the places, one of the places
that we shot, one of the locations that we shot
the video was at a theater in Los Angeles called
the Wilton Theater. That's right. And I actually went there
the other night to to a show. Okay with a

Speaker 1 (02:46):
But tell to friends that, tell two friends, and tell
two friends. This is the place where the old school
meets the new school. Not old in regards to decrepit
of no use, irrelevant in regards to classic the classics,
those tunes, those rap joints you put on twenty thirty
years later, and the response is as if it just
came out and introduced on WBLS in New York, Kiss
(03:10):
in New York, whatever the radio station was in your
city when it was that world premiere. It was exciting then,
it's still exciting now meeting the new classics, those who
aspire and some who are already achieving that same type
type of notoriety and success. This is the home where
the new school leads to old school. It's Kidden plays
(03:32):
the Funhouse, Ain't that right?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Kid? It is? And it's all about hip hop and
how hip hop impacts the culture and impacts our lives
to this very day. I mean, obviously we've been doing
it for a long time and it's still amazing to
see hip hop's influence all around the world, if you will.
And in terms of influencing the world, we'd like to
(03:59):
run this by y'all. This is our topic, say less
or doing the most streets, up the streets the mail
bags and they come in for this. You know what
I haven't seen. I have yet to see this mail
bag of which you speak of.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Someone gave bag, someone gave a buy address, some load
own person loadown did the dog gave the my address.
And that's why I'm getting all these bags. It's just
too happy to carry to bring them to.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Your your bags of mail go to the member of
the post office. He's on twenty fifth Avenue. Remember that,
going back in the day. And remember he was so mean.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That oh man, that post office is still there, and
I think that man is still.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
No, there's no way he's still alive. Well, the post.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Office, I think they got a plaque of him, look
with that same look look on it. Yeah, there you go,
but say less doing the most. Who's got it this time?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You know what, let's let's I'm gonna let you handle
this one, my friend, really really me this sounds like
this right up right right up your alley, so to speak.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Anyway, Nick Cannon ensures his testicles for ten million dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Okay, repeat that place? Could you repeat that?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Because Nick Cannon insures his joints, his family jewels between
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The family jewels is what you're saying, the family.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Jewels for ten million dollars. Is that even possible? Now,
First of all, let's give some backstory. Nick is a
good friend of ours, really good. You know, he supports us,
We support him. Had some privilege and the honor of
participating on his wilet out twice and then also with
his television show, a talk show that he had. So
(05:56):
he's good people's father family oh nine. So anyway, let's
get to the business at hand.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Is nuts? Is this even possible you can do?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You can ensure ten million dollars?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's something you would do with like Lloyds of London.
I mean, doesn't Lloyds of London like they'll ensure just
about anything. I was there to.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Say is like if you have the money to do it,
They're like, sure, why not not? Like we'll be you know, claiming,
you know on that claim?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You know? Yeah? And how much? How much is nut insurance?
You know what I mean? Is it is? It? Is
it for both nuts? Is it fun? Right?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Nick? Cannon's got nuts.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Rate on nut insurance? If you had a chance to
do that, would you do that? Or what? What? What
body part with us going Nick? The way?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
We know Nick, I'm sure at least in his mind
he has good reason. Have we done stuff with our money?
There's been a little excuse upon nutty.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, probably you bought a DeLorean.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And you had and you had a hard shaped pool, so.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
At a walk in fridge, I don't I didn't remember
you eating that much.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
But no, I don't eat that much. That was that
was That was a pretty bad decision.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
What's wrong with a glareate? I just wanted to be unique.
I wanted to be original and you were getting you know,
what were you doing to Mercedes?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Who?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Lord knows what Herbie was getting? Everybody was doing their thing.
I didn't want to I didn't want to bite. You
remember what that was about back in the days. You
didn't want to bite.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, yeah, but you know, you know whatever people people,
you know, if we knew then what we what we
know now? This is my this is my thing. I mean,
why is does that mean the fact that he's ensuring
his testicles for for ten million dollars? Does that mean
(07:56):
he intends to have more kids? Have a gold and child?
How many doesn't he have? What does he have? Like
ten eleven, twelve?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I have no idea, you know what. I think maybe
we're not really qualified to answer this question. We need
to maybe ask at least double digits. Ask our female
viewers and listeners what they think about this, you know,
what's their thoughts about it?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Like, how many children does he have? I know it's
double digits. I'm thinking it's like ten, eleven or twelve.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Because he's had a couple of twins? Right, has he
had a couple of twins or at least one?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
All right? Apparently he has twelve. We've been our crack
staff and that doesn't mean they're on crack. It means
they're good. Our crack staff has informed us that Nick
Cannon has twelve children and if he's trying to nuts,
he's trying, he's thinking about having more kids. Okay, all right,
(08:58):
how many kids? Is there's enough kids? How many kids?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
How many kids can you afford? You know, the kids
can you afford? Yeah, that's that's the bottom line. But no,
I really am inviting our female listeners and viewers to
get at us and let us know what you think, and.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, let us know what what would you ensure? Because
that's what we need to do.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
We're inviting these people to react and to participate engage
in our show. And what good does that do if
they feel as though it'll fall on death ears or
blind eyes. So we will put it in our show
that we will read, and you know, we will read
some of these.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What would you ensure would a woman like let's say,
let's say, you know, would Dolly Parton insure her breast?
You know what I mean? Would wou? Would j Lo
ensure her butt? Who did you say about breasts? You said,
Dolly Parton? Yeah, like somebody was she did?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I think she did. I think Dolly party heard something
about that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I heard.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I think I heard it out of from alpha. Matter
of fact, don't sue to a suice, Dolly. I could
be wrong. I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying,
So we will, we will see. I mean, yeah, there
there are those who.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Didn't Did he ensure something at one time? M hmm,
that's not that's not a that is not a set
up for anything, not a setup.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That's a pause. But anyway, that is.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
That, that was not a setup.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'm really serious.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I thought he did ensure something.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Right, and then guess, all right, so let's say you
did Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Did Michael Jackson ensure something?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Though he did, Michael Jackson ensured that monkey he ensured bubbles, bubbles,
and then here we go with bubbles again. We had
it with trench and now we got it with this.
But oh that's right. Remember, yeah, he had a great
story about bulls. Okay, So let's say you and you
(11:02):
ensure a particular body part. Okay, how do you how
do you collect on it? What? What has to happen?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That's my point with that.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's like, are they gonna happen to Nick Cannon's nuts?
Then they fix it? They do? They fix it?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Do they replace it? But I mean, what is the
what's the payoff? You know, what's the How about this?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
How about this? Back? Let's stay back in the days.
Could I have ensured my high top fade? How would
that have How would that have gone? You might have
been able to I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I don't think you could have even what's the word
for it, you know, copyrighted or trade market?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I mean, I don't know who's to say, you know
that something happens to it? People used to. I think
you could have.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I think if someone came up and because it is
part of the livelihood, it is part of you know,
the identity of making a living, and if someone just
came out of the blue and really caused physical harm
by pulling on it or cutting it or whatever the
case may be. I think you got something there. You
remember maybe minds could have been.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Do you remember back in the days when I attempted
to change my hairstyle we almost got in trouble for that,
or I almost got in trouble for that. No, we did.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It would have affected me too, but yeah, definitely, yeah. Yeah,
we were Warner Brothers. Well, we did class Act with
Warner Brothers. They wanted you to you wanted it was
time for a change, and you wanted to change your look,
and they were really upset about that. And I remember
them coming to approach me on the side to talk
(12:41):
to you about it, and I'm like, yo, I'm with
my dude, if this is what he wants to do,
this is what he wants to do. And we ended
up doing a pretty interesting compromise.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You wore it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
In the beginning of the movie, and in the storyline
you wanted to be like Blade Brown and have a
hair similar to what was more.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Acceptable in the streets.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, and uh, yeah, so it was a compromise. It
was a compromise, but it was time for a change.
And you know what else, it's time for now. Now
it's time for the song of the day. Say it
is now. We each we each have a song of
our choosing.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Mine.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
My song choices tend to be on the newer side
of the hip hop spectrum. Plays. Song choices kind of
are on the classic hip hop style, if you will.
And and my song today is actually not from a
new artist, but from an artist that hasn't released something
(13:50):
material in a while. And this I was so impressed
with it, h in terms of somebody having been kind
of on the sidelines for a while doing other things.
The artist is Luke Fiasco. You remember him years ago,
songs like Kick Push and uh, you know he was
doing this thing. I think he's originally from Chicago, but
(14:11):
he's taking he's taken some years off, got into the
educating phase of his life, being an educator, much like
a play does. And but he came out with a
brand new, brand new project called excuse Me, called Samurai
and just lyrically it was it was just really it
(14:32):
was amazing, and uh, I urge you to get it. Uh,
it's something I've been on for like the last the
last month, like listening to it every single day because
I'm so impressed with his uh you know, his lyricalness,
if you will. Uh. And and in particular having having
been kind of on the sidelines uh for for more
(14:54):
than a minute. So not a new artist, but but
a new a new project, uh that that feels very
new and feels very very very very special. Check it out.
The entire project is called Samurai and it's uh, it's
worth your time, That's what I think. It's very interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think it's very interesting that you pick him because
it brings to mind what seems to be going on
now when you look at a lot of artists or
a considerable amount that are making a return. You know,
rockn just came out with something new. L has come
out with something new with the help of Q tip.
You've got Greg Nice coming out with something new, and
(15:34):
all of these pieces. I'm loving what I'm hearing, you
know what I'm saying. And I don't know, do you
think that not so much with Lupe because I've seen
what you're talking about with him and these great and
good people.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Is that.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
When you we just finished celebrating the fifty years of
hip hop the birth and anniversary of it that a
lot of these artists, a lot of us got together,
especially backstage, and we're so happy to see each other.
I'll never forget a show we did with Brand Nubian
and who I Love You know my top is trycal Quests,
(16:08):
Dela Soul, Brand Nubian and a couple of others in
that backpack native tongue type community. And I remember clowning
around with them and talking and they said to me,
all I know. They asked what we were going to perform,
and they said, all we know is if we don't
do last night, there was going to be a problem.
And that humbled me. I'm like, oh, listen to kid
(16:30):
and play stuff. Not for some reasons that some people
would think on the stereotypical tip, but just in regards
to the fact of in this fiftieth year of the celebration,
so many of us had a chance to get together.
Being backstage. We were with Onyx when we did Radio
City Music Hall and a couple of others and we
all clowned around and people talking about the effect we
(16:52):
had on them. Some of the hardest hard artists you
can speak of and go and vice versa. So I
think it's interesting that we're seeing this rebirth, so to speak,
of these artists that we haven't heard from in a while,
and they're doing their thing, and they're doing it quite well.
You know, I know it's time for mine, my classics.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But what do you think of that? Before I get
to mind? No, no, no, I agree, I think, and
I'm interested to see how this new music by classic artists.
I'm interested to see how it will resound amongst the public.
Will will the people? Will the people be open to
(17:30):
new material from some of these classic artists that have
a lot of classic hits, And I'm looking forward to it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, Well, with all that being said, my classic is Luccini.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What you get Luccini? The group Luccini?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I mean, well, it's called Luccini, this is it, and
the group is called camp Low nineteen ninety two joint
produced by t Ray. It reached number one on the
Billboard Hot Hot Rap Singles in nineteen ninety two. This
record because even when it even when it came out,
it stood out like head and shoulders above the rest,
(18:07):
not saying better, but it definitely had its own uniqueness
to it that warranted respect, and it was just just dope.
And what even put the cherry on top of this
beautiful Sunday was the fact that their music video. I
like the style because they didn't do what everyone else
was doing. I think they took a page out of
(18:27):
a movie that we love called Cooley High and just
with the you know, the paper what we called the
paperboy hats back in the days.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
The you know, and the you know, the fashion.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Stuff was really really hot, and their whole swag, how
they delivered their line and the lyrics, you know, it
was just exactly And the track itself, I was I
was okay with the track with them not on it,
but I gotta have them on it. But it was
just a rate, a great composition, and I really sad. Yeah, yeah,
(19:05):
I have everybody check that out. Maybe what well, I
would love for us to start doing. We got to
find this out.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
We're legal.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
If we could just start playing a piece of these
records that we want people to know, just a piece
where we don't go cross past the line it gets
us into any kind of you know, legalities and stuff
like that, or at least for the time being, show
a visual of the music video while maybe they see
(19:31):
us talking on YouTube situation.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But yes it's Luccini.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
This is It by camp Low came out in nineteen
ninety two, produced by t Ray and it reached the
number one Hot Rap Singles in nineteen ninety two. And
a matter of fact, they're doing anything again because I've
seen the performance record on a couple of well known
platforms such as Sway and others. Check it out. Yeah, yeah,
I did. Yeah, that's what's up.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So what else we got going on? Next? Is hot
in them streets? Right next on the mic? X on
the mic is right? This is going to be up
for debate, I'm sure. But Forbes Forbes magazine, which is
kind of weird for Forbes releases, they are fifty the
(20:16):
top fifty rappers of all time. Now, I don't think
you normally get this from Forbes magazine, Not quite sure.
You'd think maybe a magazine like The Source or XXL
or you know, something else, or would would kind of
put this list out. But they have their list.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well, may I read at least the top ten, starting
at ten and working our way up to number one?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Can I do that? Okay?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Number ten, We have Eminem number nine, We have NAS
number eight, We have Nicki Minaj number seven. We have
Kanye West number six, We have Drake number five, We
have Tupop number four, we have j Cole number three,
we have Lil Wayne number two, we have Kendrick Lamar
(21:08):
and number one.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
We have jay Z Caller. You say what I mean?
Those are all? Yeah, those are all. Those are all
great rappers. I think, first of all, there's no right
answer to, uh, you know a top fifty rappers list,
(21:32):
you know, hip hop and rap. It's it's how you feel.
It's how a particular person feels. It's what it's what
my top fifty is. It's what your top fifty is.
And I think, I mean what it does is it
sparks conversation, It sparks dialogue, it sparks arguments, stuff like that.
But you know, I don't know if you go through.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
The whole great great barbershop conversation, great barbershop.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, how big How no story b Ig is not
in the top ten is a mystery to me.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Well, you know what the new you know what the
new barbershop is? That kid, the new barbershop now is
a place called TikTok. And what they're doing on TikTok
now is they're they're asking these questions or they're putting
this rapper up against this rapper and seeing what the
response is, like you know, right right right, what would
you say? Would you how would you feel about a
(22:28):
matchup between a Jay Z and a Kendrick Lamar?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You know, right right right right right? Yeah, I mean,
but once again it's really kind of subjective. I mean,
and going up and down the list. Mellie Mail his
number forty three. That's now to.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Guys like you and I that's criminal because Nelly Mail
set the bar in his in his time, in his
eraror for a more consciousness, not so much the party rap,
like what we're going to do with the party and
after the party?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
He really went there with the message.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
But even before he did this thing with the message,
he was known to be very prolific in regards to
his his lyrics and because of his tone and his
voice that like what other rappers have done, like I say,
Nas did the same thing, and this thing he made
people want to read look in the dictionary for what
(23:23):
this word meant.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That he said, okay, yeah, okay, but how about how
about this something? I think sometimes with this particular list
it's just like the you know, the seeding is just
a little weird to me. Yeah, wait, you know Little
Kim is higher than rock Him. Kim is sixteen, rock
(23:49):
Him is twenty one. That that's doesn't make sense to me, but.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Let me try and help for it to make sense.
When I started teaching hip hop chursus, I almost made
the mistake of assuming that when I ask people what
assuming their journey in hip hop began? When mine's this.
I really was about to make that mistake. I saw
I was entering into some issues in regards to relatability
(24:16):
connecting with my students, and I asked them. You know,
I prayed to God about it, and his answer to
me was ask them what's the first rap record they
ever heard? And when I asked that question, not only
did that help me out a lot, but in regards
to just a better understanding of why someone may put
someone where that question you just asked a Little Kim
(24:39):
in a Rock Kim, because that's two different errors. I mean,
who put this list together, that's the question.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, Childish Gambino is a head of Mellie mel Asap,
Rocky is before Snoop ll cool J is number thirty five.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Now see that I have a problem with because you know,
LL might not be one of my favorites. You know
what I'm saying, But I got to give credit what
credit is due this man. I almost want to say
number one is because if by my definition, he's the
one that quickly comes to mind, there could be others
(25:31):
you know, a lot, and you could correct me on
this that has transcended and been able to keep up
and do extremely well and keep reinventing themselves. So when
I hear go, if it has to be one with
a gun to my back, he'd probably be the quickest
that would like come to mind, if not actually self.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
T II is not on the list at all. TI
is not on the list at all? Does that? How
does that make sense? That doesn't make any that, you
know what I mean? That part doesn't make any sense.
And you know, I get it. It's subjective. It's and
and to your point, who who you know? Like the Seinfeld?
(26:13):

If three thousand could be on here, why couldn't the kid? Now,
come on, you don't believe me, your comatose? That was
my life anyway, Yo, it's time for the playlist.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
All right, let's go what you got on the playlist? Now?
Explain what the playlist is all about, because.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Well then I got obliged. The thing about the playlist
is because of my love and my endeavors into documentaries
and film cinematography in particular, is that I like to
share the type of movies I've watched, pieces I've watched
and inspired me. My favorite movie of all time. The
(29:26):
greatest movie of all time is usin Wells Citizen King
for several reasons. But on the playlist today the one
I want to recommend highly.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
To so many.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
If you haven't seen it. If you have seen it,
then you know what I'm talking about. And let's watch
it again. It's Coolly High nineteen seventy five, starring Glenn
Turnant as preached and Lawrence Hilton. Jacob you know him
from the Jackson five American family movie, also from Welcome
Back Carter, but he played CoA Chiese. Written by Eric
(29:58):
Monte and directed by Michael Schultz. Michael Schultz went on
to direct Carwash. Can't forget that classic, The Last Dragon,
a Motown movie made classic and Woman Died Out Loose.
Shout out to Bishop TD Jakes and The Last Dragon.
I believe that was produced in bank rolled by our
(30:19):
friend Motown Barry Gordy. Shout out to them and car Wash. Hey,
Richard Pryor Samany. Antonio Fargus played in that joint classic
movie as well. But my movie is Cooley High. It's there.
It was our eerror before we made movies. It was
that Era's house party, you know the movie Cooly High.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Thank god the lead characters in House Party didn't end
up like Coachies did in COOLi High. It was a
sad ending that gave birth to a great, great soundtrack
to that movie. But it's so hard to say goodbye
to yesterday. How could you see the end of that
movie and not cry. If you don't cry, you must
not have a pulse. But Cooley High is on the
(31:06):
playlist today, y'all.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You know what, I'm fortunate enough to run into Glenn
Turnman from time to time. He goes to a cigar
lounge in our neighborhood here in West Hollywood, and so,
you know, a few times he stopped through and I
got a chance to talk to him and you know,
pick his brain. And also I've run into Lawrence Hilton
(31:31):
Jacobs every once in a while too, And one of
the things that I liked about him, About both gentlemen,
is they always took the time, you know, it might
have been just like five or ten minutes to kind
of check in on us, ask ask what we had
been up to, you know, in part a little advice,
(31:51):
some kind words, some wise words. And I always appreciated that,
and I always try to to strive to do that
when when young people or you know, young rappers or
actors were coming up and and uh, you know, just
just one of a few minutes of of our time,
(32:13):
because that's not something that that that you have to do,
but it's I think it's something that that you should do,
you need to do. You know. We we used to
say each one teach one when we were we were
coming up, and uh, you know, it always made a
lot of sense, and it always made a difference when
when an og who had been through what we we
(32:35):
might be headed toward. Uh took a little bit of time.
So yeah, that's that's true.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I remember when Glenn Turnman came to the set of
one of our films, I think it was House Party three,
and he sat in one of the direction chairs that
just hung out and I was just in awe, you know,
to just you know, to see him, to meet him.
It was just something. And I know what you mean
in regards to those who share that thing. I've had
those kind of conversations with Samuel Jackson when I was
(33:03):
doing stage plays, Denzel Washington as well as imparted jewels
on us as well. Matter of fact, I just for
some reason, I think Big Brother really watches our moves
because just yesterday when I pulled up YouTube on the algorithm,
was that someone had. It was an HBO something where
they filmed Denzel when he came to visit us on
(33:24):
the set of Class Act. You remember that. Yeah, yeah,
I saw that. And the fact because of the makeup
artist was doing his makeup on Malcolm X. So he
came with the goatee and everything like he was Malcolm
X to come hang out with us, crack jokes and
all of that. So they put a smile on my
face to watch that the other day. So I want
(33:47):
to invite everyone it has a favorite film, favorite music video,
but independent films in particular films, short films, get at me,
get at us, I G and let us know what
what you're feeling and why what's happening with you?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Just kidding, Okay, this this is my my segment called
just kidding. Just some things that that are kind of
running through my mind, running past you play and running
past our audience. Original influencers, original influencers getting attention pre Internet. Now,
I know there's a lot of influencers that are out today.
(34:26):
They're on I G. They're on TikTok, trying to think
of of how they used to do it kind of
back in the day, Like what what the ways that
they would do it, either pre internet or very maybe
very early in the internet stage. Uh. And it's it's different.
(34:46):
I mean it's it's it's blown up so much these
days that there's there's there's big money in it, there's
there's millions of followers to be had.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
And I was just trying to think of, like what
what what were the things that that that affected us
back in the days before before things exploded, you know
what I mean? I remember, I remember, I remember weird
things like there was a there was a VHS tape
that came out and it was about it was it
(35:19):
was Jerry Springer like to TV all the stuff that
they couldn't show on the on the on the program
on the television program, like all fights. Basically. I'll never
forget I was. I had that tape and a girl
I was dating at the time, a girl I was
(35:39):
dating at the time, I you know, I threw it
in and I'm thinking, Oh, she's gonna be disgusted by
this because it's just people people just fighting and just
like brutal, brutal fights. They cut nothing. It was yeah,
and I'm thinking, all this girl, she's not gonna like it,
because you know she was pretty girls. He's very dainty,
(36:00):
if you will. She loved it. She was like, yeah,
I get him, blood thirst Yo, Who who are you?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Like?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Who is this? Who is this philistine that that I'm dating?
I don't know, just I guess we're so consumed with
who the influencers are are today that it's it's it's
hard to sometimes to remember, like like, what what do
people do before that?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Yeah, I mean everything has been so normalized and it's like,
you know, it's almost like horror films, like what can
really stare you anymore? But in regards to what you're
talking about, Yeah, and you know, it reminds me of
a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck
was going at it to be able to get the
biggest reaction from the crowd, so to make him, you know,
(36:53):
Daffy Duck, He's losing at every round, every you know,
back and forth, and finally he he swallows dynamite, gasoline,
anything that's explosive. He swallows it and likes a match.
He blows up and it's funny how that phrase go, Yo,
you're blowing up in the business. And he blows up,
and he finally gets the attention and the applause and
(37:16):
the cheers from the crowd that outdoes Bugs Bunny.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Bugs.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Bunny even has to give it up to say you
did it. They love you en core, they want to
see more, and but Daffy Duck goes, yeah, the only
problem is I can't. And these wings come from out
him and he goes up to heaven because he killed
himself in order to get this applause. And that's what
makes me think of entertainment so much. How far are
we willing to go for the applause? How far we
(37:42):
willing to go for the views, for the you know,
the followers and all of that, because it's crazy to
a lot of us, you.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Know, And how can you use it to a positive extent?
Speaker 1 (37:56):
You know?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Lately? The the white girl, I think her name is
Haley Welch, she's the she's the hot tour girl. Oh okay,
who has come to uh I don't know it's prominence
the right word, I'm not sure, but notoriety or whatever.
She's she's she's kind of a kind of a big
(38:17):
deal on social media, and I didn't really know a
lot about her, but I did start to kind of
follow her and saw that she was using her her
influence and her and her money to draw people to
h to h to adopt pets. So I saw her
(38:39):
she was taking some of this this her new gotten
gains as the as a social influencer, and she was
going to uh she was buying pet food and taking
it to shelters to feed dogs and cats and urge
uh and urge people to to adopt uh. And so
(39:00):
you know, I thought that for somebody that kind of
came into the game as the hot tour girl, which
is no kind of wow, but using her influence to
the positive.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
So you know, when I see people do that, that's
that's always very uh you know, kind of encouraging.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
And to my understanding, she's made over five hundred thousand
k in merchandise alone, so she can definitely afford and
it's a good look at what she does with some.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Of that money.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
And I hear you, you know, yeah, I mean it's
interesting when you just because what's the other thing that's uh,
people can pay privately to see people do certain things.
It's not only only fans, you know. I've heard some
really weird stories about what's available there.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
You know, no, no, and people are making the people
make money on only fans. You know, there's there's certain
there's certain individuals that do apparently do quite well, uh
on only fans like you.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Do you know any only fan producers or herod any story.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
You well, you know, I know one you remember? Remember this,
this this young lady. She got famous from being on
Doctor Phil. They called her a bad, bad baby, and
she was the one called she's submit me. She said,
catch me outside, catch me outside. Yeah, yeah, I heard
about her. I heard, I heard she makes millions be
(40:23):
a only fans millions and what you don't know what
she I don't know what she does on only fans.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
I know, right, we're not willing to go through those doors.
But what could you have played you on only fans?
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Oh god, no, oh no type of stories? I have
no idea. Oh no, no, no, would not be revealing
body parts on only fans.

But tell to friends that, tell two friends, and tell
two friends. This is the place where the old school
meets the new school. Not old in regards to decrepit
of no use, irrelevant in regards to classic the classics,
those tunes, those rap joints you put on twenty thirty
years later, and the response is as if it just
came out and introduced on WBLS in New York, Kiss
(03:10):
in New York, whatever the radio station was in your
city when it was that world premiere. It was exciting then,
it's still exciting now meeting the new classics, those who
aspire and some who are already achieving that same type
type of notoriety and success. This is the home where
the new school leads to old school. It's Kidden plays
(03:32):
the Funhouse, Ain't that right?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Kid? It is? And it's all about hip hop and
how hip hop impacts the culture and impacts our lives
to this very day. I mean, obviously we've been doing
it for a long time and it's still amazing to
see hip hop's influence all around the world, if you will.
And in terms of influencing the world, we'd like to
(03:59):
run this by y'all. This is our topic, say less
or doing the most streets, up the streets the mail
bags and they come in for this. You know what
I haven't seen. I have yet to see this mail
bag of which you speak of.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Someone gave bag, someone gave a buy address, some load
own person loadown did the dog gave the my address.
And that's why I'm getting all these bags. It's just
too happy to carry to bring them to.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Your your bags of mail go to the member of
the post office. He's on twenty fifth Avenue. Remember that,
going back in the day. And remember he was so mean.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That oh man, that post office is still there, and
I think that man is still.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
No, there's no way he's still alive. Well, the post.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Office, I think they got a plaque of him, look
with that same look look on it. Yeah, there you go,
but say less doing the most. Who's got it this time?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You know what, let's let's I'm gonna let you handle
this one, my friend, really really me this sounds like
this right up right right up your alley, so to speak.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Anyway, Nick Cannon ensures his testicles for ten million dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Okay, repeat that place? Could you repeat that?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Because Nick Cannon insures his joints, his family jewels between
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The family jewels is what you're saying, the family.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Jewels for ten million dollars. Is that even possible? Now,
First of all, let's give some backstory. Nick is a
good friend of ours, really good. You know, he supports us,
We support him. Had some privilege and the honor of
participating on his wilet out twice and then also with
his television show, a talk show that he had. So
(05:56):
he's good people's father family oh nine. So anyway, let's
get to the business at hand.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Is nuts? Is this even possible you can do?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You can ensure ten million dollars?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's something you would do with like Lloyds of London.
I mean, doesn't Lloyds of London like they'll ensure just
about anything. I was there to.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Say is like if you have the money to do it,
They're like, sure, why not not? Like we'll be you know, claiming,
you know on that claim?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You know? Yeah? And how much? How much is nut insurance?
You know what I mean? Is it is? It? Is
it for both nuts? Is it fun? Right?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Nick? Cannon's got nuts.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Rate on nut insurance? If you had a chance to
do that, would you do that? Or what? What? What
body part with us going Nick? The way?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
We know Nick, I'm sure at least in his mind
he has good reason. Have we done stuff with our money?
There's been a little excuse upon nutty.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, probably you bought a DeLorean.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And you had and you had a hard shaped pool, so.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
At a walk in fridge, I don't I didn't remember
you eating that much.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
But no, I don't eat that much. That was that
was That was a pretty bad decision.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
What's wrong with a glareate? I just wanted to be unique.
I wanted to be original and you were getting you know,
what were you doing to Mercedes?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Who?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Lord knows what Herbie was getting? Everybody was doing their thing.
I didn't want to I didn't want to bite. You
remember what that was about back in the days. You
didn't want to bite.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, yeah, but you know, you know whatever people people,
you know, if we knew then what we what we
know now? This is my this is my thing. I mean,
why is does that mean the fact that he's ensuring
his testicles for for ten million dollars? Does that mean
(07:56):
he intends to have more kids? Have a gold and child?
How many doesn't he have? What does he have? Like
ten eleven, twelve?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I have no idea, you know what. I think maybe
we're not really qualified to answer this question. We need
to maybe ask at least double digits. Ask our female
viewers and listeners what they think about this, you know,
what's their thoughts about it?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Like, how many children does he have? I know it's
double digits. I'm thinking it's like ten, eleven or twelve.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Because he's had a couple of twins? Right, has he
had a couple of twins or at least one?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
All right? Apparently he has twelve. We've been our crack
staff and that doesn't mean they're on crack. It means
they're good. Our crack staff has informed us that Nick
Cannon has twelve children and if he's trying to nuts,
he's trying, he's thinking about having more kids. Okay, all right,
(08:58):
how many kids? Is there's enough kids? How many kids?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
How many kids can you afford? You know, the kids
can you afford? Yeah, that's that's the bottom line. But no,
I really am inviting our female listeners and viewers to
get at us and let us know what you think, and.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, let us know what what would you ensure? Because
that's what we need to do.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
We're inviting these people to react and to participate engage
in our show. And what good does that do if
they feel as though it'll fall on death ears or
blind eyes. So we will put it in our show
that we will read, and you know, we will read
some of these.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What would you ensure would a woman like let's say,
let's say, you know, would Dolly Parton insure her breast?
You know what I mean? Would wou? Would j Lo
ensure her butt? Who did you say about breasts? You said,
Dolly Parton? Yeah, like somebody was she did?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I think she did. I think Dolly party heard something
about that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I heard.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I think I heard it out of from alpha. Matter
of fact, don't sue to a suice, Dolly. I could
be wrong. I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying,
So we will, we will see. I mean, yeah, there
there are those who.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Didn't Did he ensure something at one time? M hmm,
that's not that's not a that is not a set
up for anything, not a setup.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That's a pause. But anyway, that is.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
That, that was not a setup.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'm really serious.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I thought he did ensure something.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Right, and then guess, all right, so let's say you
did Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Did Michael Jackson ensure something?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Though he did, Michael Jackson ensured that monkey he ensured bubbles, bubbles,
and then here we go with bubbles again. We had
it with trench and now we got it with this.
But oh that's right. Remember, yeah, he had a great
story about bulls. Okay, So let's say you and you
(11:02):
ensure a particular body part. Okay, how do you how
do you collect on it? What? What has to happen?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That's my point with that.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's like, are they gonna happen to Nick Cannon's nuts?
Then they fix it? They do? They fix it?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Do they replace it? But I mean, what is the
what's the payoff? You know, what's the How about this?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
How about this? Back? Let's stay back in the days.
Could I have ensured my high top fade? How would
that have How would that have gone? You might have
been able to I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I don't think you could have even what's the word
for it, you know, copyrighted or trade market?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I mean, I don't know who's to say, you know
that something happens to it? People used to. I think
you could have.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I think if someone came up and because it is
part of the livelihood, it is part of you know,
the identity of making a living, and if someone just
came out of the blue and really caused physical harm
by pulling on it or cutting it or whatever the
case may be. I think you got something there. You
remember maybe minds could have been.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Do you remember back in the days when I attempted
to change my hairstyle we almost got in trouble for that,
or I almost got in trouble for that. No, we did.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It would have affected me too, but yeah, definitely, yeah. Yeah,
we were Warner Brothers. Well, we did class Act with
Warner Brothers. They wanted you to you wanted it was
time for a change, and you wanted to change your look,
and they were really upset about that. And I remember
them coming to approach me on the side to talk
(12:41):
to you about it, and I'm like, yo, I'm with
my dude, if this is what he wants to do,
this is what he wants to do. And we ended
up doing a pretty interesting compromise.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You wore it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
In the beginning of the movie, and in the storyline
you wanted to be like Blade Brown and have a
hair similar to what was more.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Acceptable in the streets.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, and uh, yeah, so it was a compromise. It
was a compromise, but it was time for a change.
And you know what else, it's time for now. Now
it's time for the song of the day. Say it
is now. We each we each have a song of
our choosing.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Mine.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
My song choices tend to be on the newer side
of the hip hop spectrum. Plays. Song choices kind of
are on the classic hip hop style, if you will.
And and my song today is actually not from a
new artist, but from an artist that hasn't released something
(13:50):
material in a while. And this I was so impressed
with it, h in terms of somebody having been kind
of on the sidelines for a while doing other things.
The artist is Luke Fiasco. You remember him years ago,
songs like Kick Push and uh, you know he was
doing this thing. I think he's originally from Chicago, but
(14:11):
he's taking he's taken some years off, got into the
educating phase of his life, being an educator, much like
a play does. And but he came out with a
brand new, brand new project called excuse Me, called Samurai
and just lyrically it was it was just really it
(14:32):
was amazing, and uh, I urge you to get it. Uh,
it's something I've been on for like the last the
last month, like listening to it every single day because
I'm so impressed with his uh you know, his lyricalness,
if you will. Uh. And and in particular having having
been kind of on the sidelines uh for for more
(14:54):
than a minute. So not a new artist, but but
a new a new project, uh that that feels very
new and feels very very very very special. Check it out.
The entire project is called Samurai and it's uh, it's
worth your time, That's what I think. It's very interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think it's very interesting that you pick him because
it brings to mind what seems to be going on
now when you look at a lot of artists or
a considerable amount that are making a return. You know,
rockn just came out with something new. L has come
out with something new with the help of Q tip.
You've got Greg Nice coming out with something new, and
(15:34):
all of these pieces. I'm loving what I'm hearing, you
know what I'm saying. And I don't know, do you
think that not so much with Lupe because I've seen
what you're talking about with him and these great and
good people.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Is that.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
When you we just finished celebrating the fifty years of
hip hop the birth and anniversary of it that a
lot of these artists, a lot of us got together,
especially backstage, and we're so happy to see each other.
I'll never forget a show we did with Brand Nubian
and who I Love You know my top is trycal Quests,
(16:08):
Dela Soul, Brand Nubian and a couple of others in
that backpack native tongue type community. And I remember clowning
around with them and talking and they said to me,
all I know. They asked what we were going to perform,
and they said, all we know is if we don't
do last night, there was going to be a problem.
And that humbled me. I'm like, oh, listen to kid
(16:30):
and play stuff. Not for some reasons that some people
would think on the stereotypical tip, but just in regards
to the fact of in this fiftieth year of the celebration,
so many of us had a chance to get together.
Being backstage. We were with Onyx when we did Radio
City Music Hall and a couple of others and we
all clowned around and people talking about the effect we
(16:52):
had on them. Some of the hardest hard artists you
can speak of and go and vice versa. So I
think it's interesting that we're seeing this rebirth, so to speak,
of these artists that we haven't heard from in a while,
and they're doing their thing, and they're doing it quite well.
You know, I know it's time for mine, my classics.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But what do you think of that? Before I get
to mind? No, no, no, I agree, I think, and
I'm interested to see how this new music by classic artists.
I'm interested to see how it will resound amongst the public.
Will will the people? Will the people be open to
(17:30):
new material from some of these classic artists that have
a lot of classic hits, And I'm looking forward to it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, Well, with all that being said, my classic is Luccini.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What you get Luccini? The group Luccini?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I mean, well, it's called Luccini, this is it, and
the group is called camp Low nineteen ninety two joint
produced by t Ray. It reached number one on the
Billboard Hot Hot Rap Singles in nineteen ninety two. This
record because even when it even when it came out,
it stood out like head and shoulders above the rest,
(18:07):
not saying better, but it definitely had its own uniqueness
to it that warranted respect, and it was just just dope.
And what even put the cherry on top of this
beautiful Sunday was the fact that their music video. I
like the style because they didn't do what everyone else
was doing. I think they took a page out of
(18:27):
a movie that we love called Cooley High and just
with the you know, the paper what we called the
paperboy hats back in the days.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
The you know, and the you know, the fashion.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Stuff was really really hot, and their whole swag, how
they delivered their line and the lyrics, you know, it
was just exactly And the track itself, I was I
was okay with the track with them not on it,
but I gotta have them on it. But it was
just a rate, a great composition, and I really sad. Yeah, yeah,
(19:05):
I have everybody check that out. Maybe what well, I
would love for us to start doing. We got to
find this out.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
We're legal.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
If we could just start playing a piece of these
records that we want people to know, just a piece
where we don't go cross past the line it gets
us into any kind of you know, legalities and stuff
like that, or at least for the time being, show
a visual of the music video while maybe they see
(19:31):
us talking on YouTube situation.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But yes it's Luccini.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
This is It by camp Low came out in nineteen
ninety two, produced by t Ray and it reached the
number one Hot Rap Singles in nineteen ninety two. And
a matter of fact, they're doing anything again because I've
seen the performance record on a couple of well known
platforms such as Sway and others. Check it out. Yeah, yeah,
I did. Yeah, that's what's up.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So what else we got going on? Next? Is hot
in them streets? Right next on the mic? X on
the mic is right? This is going to be up
for debate, I'm sure. But Forbes Forbes magazine, which is
kind of weird for Forbes releases, they are fifty the
(20:16):
top fifty rappers of all time. Now, I don't think
you normally get this from Forbes magazine, Not quite sure.
You'd think maybe a magazine like The Source or XXL
or you know, something else, or would would kind of
put this list out. But they have their list.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well, may I read at least the top ten, starting
at ten and working our way up to number one?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Can I do that? Okay?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Number ten, We have Eminem number nine, We have NAS
number eight, We have Nicki Minaj number seven. We have
Kanye West number six, We have Drake number five, We
have Tupop number four, we have j Cole number three,
we have Lil Wayne number two, we have Kendrick Lamar
(21:08):
and number one.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
We have jay Z Caller. You say what I mean?
Those are all? Yeah, those are all. Those are all
great rappers. I think, first of all, there's no right
answer to, uh, you know a top fifty rappers list,
(21:32):
you know, hip hop and rap. It's it's how you feel.
It's how a particular person feels. It's what it's what
my top fifty is. It's what your top fifty is.
And I think, I mean what it does is it
sparks conversation, It sparks dialogue, it sparks arguments, stuff like that.
But you know, I don't know if you go through.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
The whole great great barbershop conversation, great barbershop.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, how big How no story b Ig is not
in the top ten is a mystery to me.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Well, you know what the new you know what the
new barbershop is? That kid, the new barbershop now is
a place called TikTok. And what they're doing on TikTok
now is they're they're asking these questions or they're putting
this rapper up against this rapper and seeing what the
response is, like you know, right right right, what would
you say? Would you how would you feel about a
(22:28):
matchup between a Jay Z and a Kendrick Lamar?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You know, right right right right right? Yeah, I mean,
but once again it's really kind of subjective. I mean,
and going up and down the list. Mellie Mail his
number forty three. That's now to.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Guys like you and I that's criminal because Nelly Mail
set the bar in his in his time, in his
eraror for a more consciousness, not so much the party rap,
like what we're going to do with the party and
after the party?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
He really went there with the message.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
But even before he did this thing with the message,
he was known to be very prolific in regards to
his his lyrics and because of his tone and his
voice that like what other rappers have done, like I say,
Nas did the same thing, and this thing he made
people want to read look in the dictionary for what
(23:23):
this word meant.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That he said, okay, yeah, okay, but how about how
about this something? I think sometimes with this particular list
it's just like the you know, the seeding is just
a little weird to me. Yeah, wait, you know Little
Kim is higher than rock Him. Kim is sixteen, rock
(23:49):
Him is twenty one. That that's doesn't make sense to me, but.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Let me try and help for it to make sense.
When I started teaching hip hop chursus, I almost made
the mistake of assuming that when I ask people what
assuming their journey in hip hop began? When mine's this.
I really was about to make that mistake. I saw
I was entering into some issues in regards to relatability
(24:16):
connecting with my students, and I asked them. You know,
I prayed to God about it, and his answer to
me was ask them what's the first rap record they
ever heard? And when I asked that question, not only
did that help me out a lot, but in regards
to just a better understanding of why someone may put
someone where that question you just asked a Little Kim
(24:39):
in a Rock Kim, because that's two different errors. I mean,
who put this list together, that's the question.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, Childish Gambino is a head of Mellie mel Asap,
Rocky is before Snoop ll cool J is number thirty five.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Now see that I have a problem with because you know,
LL might not be one of my favorites. You know
what I'm saying, But I got to give credit what
credit is due this man. I almost want to say
number one is because if by my definition, he's the
one that quickly comes to mind, there could be others
(25:31):
you know, a lot, and you could correct me on
this that has transcended and been able to keep up
and do extremely well and keep reinventing themselves. So when
I hear go, if it has to be one with
a gun to my back, he'd probably be the quickest
that would like come to mind, if not actually self.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
T II is not on the list at all. TI
is not on the list at all? Does that? How
does that make sense? That doesn't make any that, you
know what I mean? That part doesn't make any sense.
And you know, I get it. It's subjective. It's and
and to your point, who who you know? Like the Seinfeld?
(26:13):
Who are these people? What's the criterion? What is the criterion? Criteria? Yeah?
The money? Is it money? Is it popularity? You know?
Is it skills? Is it who makes you feel good? Then?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
What is the criteria? I would love to know that.
And again, you know who is in your man's in them?
Who's your man's in this?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You know? And Andre three thousand is number eleven and
his partner, Big Boy, is not on the list. Bad
Money is on the list. Bad Bunny is on the list.
No disrespect to our viewers, but Bad Bunny ahead of
(26:55):
Meli mel Mia in sense you got mea me No, No,
that that's no, that's m I A.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
That's not even I got the wrong glasses on forgive me.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yes, she was down with master P and them.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, I got you, I got you, I got you. Well,
I mean again, there's so much we can get into here,
and we are definitely asking our listeners and our viewers
to chime in on this one because to not even
have trench trigger trench Now, some would say, well, he's
part of the group, Well so what wasn't And you
(27:35):
know what I'm saying, so is.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
One of the great rappers of his generation, you know,
m F.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Doom, Feeling them, ghost Face Killer, Little Kim. Hey, you know,
this is an interesting thing to tell you. This is
one of those things that you talk about all you know,
but you know, for me, it's just really interesting I
would love to know more than the list.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I just love to know you know.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Who who who are the decision makers? And what again
is the criterias? You know what is the criterion?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You know? All right?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
We like to know from our listeners. And I've hears
your top five rappers of all times?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
We love to Yeah, and if and if you do
check out this list as Forbes list, let us know
if there's that there have been some omissions, people that
that you thought should be on it that are not.
We've already said a few trash and t I being
the ones that come quickly to mind. This.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
If three thousand could be on here, why couldn't the kid? Now,
come on, you don't believe me, your comatose? That was
my life anyway, Yo, it's time for the playlist.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
All right, let's go what you got on the playlist? Now?
Explain what the playlist is all about, because.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Well then I got obliged. The thing about the playlist
is because of my love and my endeavors into documentaries
and film cinematography in particular, is that I like to
share the type of movies I've watched, pieces I've watched
and inspired me. My favorite movie of all time. The
(29:26):
greatest movie of all time is usin Wells Citizen King
for several reasons. But on the playlist today the one
I want to recommend highly.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
To so many.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
If you haven't seen it. If you have seen it,
then you know what I'm talking about. And let's watch
it again. It's Coolly High nineteen seventy five, starring Glenn
Turnant as preached and Lawrence Hilton. Jacob you know him
from the Jackson five American family movie, also from Welcome
Back Carter, but he played CoA Chiese. Written by Eric
(29:58):
Monte and directed by Michael Schultz. Michael Schultz went on
to direct Carwash. Can't forget that classic, The Last Dragon,
a Motown movie made classic and Woman Died Out Loose.
Shout out to Bishop TD Jakes and The Last Dragon.
I believe that was produced in bank rolled by our
(30:19):
friend Motown Barry Gordy. Shout out to them and car Wash. Hey,
Richard Pryor Samany. Antonio Fargus played in that joint classic
movie as well. But my movie is Cooley High. It's there.
It was our eerror before we made movies. It was
that Era's house party, you know the movie Cooly High.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Thank god the lead characters in House Party didn't end
up like Coachies did in COOLi High. It was a
sad ending that gave birth to a great, great soundtrack
to that movie. But it's so hard to say goodbye
to yesterday. How could you see the end of that
movie and not cry. If you don't cry, you must
not have a pulse. But Cooley High is on the
(31:06):
playlist today, y'all.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You know what, I'm fortunate enough to run into Glenn
Turnman from time to time. He goes to a cigar
lounge in our neighborhood here in West Hollywood, and so,
you know, a few times he stopped through and I
got a chance to talk to him and you know,
pick his brain. And also I've run into Lawrence Hilton
(31:31):
Jacobs every once in a while too, And one of
the things that I liked about him, About both gentlemen,
is they always took the time, you know, it might
have been just like five or ten minutes to kind
of check in on us, ask ask what we had
been up to, you know, in part a little advice,
(31:51):
some kind words, some wise words. And I always appreciated that,
and I always try to to strive to do that
when when young people or you know, young rappers or
actors were coming up and and uh, you know, just
just one of a few minutes of of our time,
(32:13):
because that's not something that that that you have to do,
but it's I think it's something that that you should do,
you need to do. You know. We we used to
say each one teach one when we were we were
coming up, and uh, you know, it always made a
lot of sense, and it always made a difference when
when an og who had been through what we we
(32:35):
might be headed toward. Uh took a little bit of time.
So yeah, that's that's true.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I remember when Glenn Turnman came to the set of
one of our films, I think it was House Party three,
and he sat in one of the direction chairs that
just hung out and I was just in awe, you know,
to just you know, to see him, to meet him.
It was just something. And I know what you mean
in regards to those who share that thing. I've had
those kind of conversations with Samuel Jackson when I was
(33:03):
doing stage plays, Denzel Washington as well as imparted jewels
on us as well. Matter of fact, I just for
some reason, I think Big Brother really watches our moves
because just yesterday when I pulled up YouTube on the algorithm,
was that someone had. It was an HBO something where
they filmed Denzel when he came to visit us on
(33:24):
the set of Class Act. You remember that. Yeah, yeah,
I saw that. And the fact because of the makeup
artist was doing his makeup on Malcolm X. So he
came with the goatee and everything like he was Malcolm
X to come hang out with us, crack jokes and
all of that. So they put a smile on my
face to watch that the other day. So I want
(33:47):
to invite everyone it has a favorite film, favorite music video,
but independent films in particular films, short films, get at me,
get at us, I G and let us know what
what you're feeling and why what's happening with you?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Just kidding, Okay, this this is my my segment called
just kidding. Just some things that that are kind of
running through my mind, running past you play and running
past our audience. Original influencers, original influencers getting attention pre Internet. Now,
I know there's a lot of influencers that are out today.
(34:26):
They're on I G. They're on TikTok, trying to think
of of how they used to do it kind of
back in the day, Like what what the ways that
they would do it, either pre internet or very maybe
very early in the internet stage. Uh. And it's it's different.
(34:46):
I mean it's it's it's blown up so much these
days that there's there's there's big money in it, there's
there's millions of followers to be had.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
And I was just trying to think of, like what
what what were the things that that that affected us
back in the days before before things exploded, you know
what I mean? I remember, I remember, I remember weird
things like there was a there was a VHS tape
that came out and it was about it was it
(35:19):
was Jerry Springer like to TV all the stuff that
they couldn't show on the on the on the program
on the television program, like all fights. Basically. I'll never
forget I was. I had that tape and a girl
I was dating at the time, a girl I was
(35:39):
dating at the time, I you know, I threw it
in and I'm thinking, Oh, she's gonna be disgusted by
this because it's just people people just fighting and just
like brutal, brutal fights. They cut nothing. It was yeah,
and I'm thinking, all this girl, she's not gonna like it,
because you know she was pretty girls. He's very dainty,
(36:00):
if you will. She loved it. She was like, yeah,
I get him, blood thirst Yo, Who who are you?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Like?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Who is this? Who is this philistine that that I'm dating?
I don't know, just I guess we're so consumed with
who the influencers are are today that it's it's it's
hard to sometimes to remember, like like, what what do
people do before that?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Yeah, I mean everything has been so normalized and it's like,
you know, it's almost like horror films, like what can
really stare you anymore? But in regards to what you're
talking about, Yeah, and you know, it reminds me of
a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck
was going at it to be able to get the
biggest reaction from the crowd, so to make him, you know,
(36:53):
Daffy Duck, He's losing at every round, every you know,
back and forth, and finally he he swallows dynamite, gasoline,
anything that's explosive. He swallows it and likes a match.
He blows up and it's funny how that phrase go, Yo,
you're blowing up in the business. And he blows up,
and he finally gets the attention and the applause and
(37:16):
the cheers from the crowd that outdoes Bugs Bunny.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Bugs.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Bunny even has to give it up to say you
did it. They love you en core, they want to
see more, and but Daffy Duck goes, yeah, the only
problem is I can't. And these wings come from out
him and he goes up to heaven because he killed
himself in order to get this applause. And that's what
makes me think of entertainment so much. How far are
we willing to go for the applause? How far we
(37:42):
willing to go for the views, for the you know,
the followers and all of that, because it's crazy to
a lot of us, you.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Know, And how can you use it to a positive extent?
Speaker 1 (37:56):
You know?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Lately? The the white girl, I think her name is
Haley Welch, she's the she's the hot tour girl. Oh okay,
who has come to uh I don't know it's prominence
the right word, I'm not sure, but notoriety or whatever.
She's she's she's kind of a kind of a big
(38:17):
deal on social media, and I didn't really know a
lot about her, but I did start to kind of
follow her and saw that she was using her her
influence and her and her money to draw people to
h to h to adopt pets. So I saw her
(38:39):
she was taking some of this this her new gotten
gains as the as a social influencer, and she was
going to uh she was buying pet food and taking
