Brought To You By Tariffs

Hip hop is at a crossroads as we examine the one-year anniversary of J Cole's apology and how the beef between Drake and Kendrick has reshaped the landscape of the genre. We explore what makes an artist "lyrical" versus "commercial" and why both styles deserve respect in today's diverse hip hop ecosystem.

• The resurgence of party and dance music with Nokia's viral hit suggests audiences want an escape from serious, lyrical content
• Drake's lawsuit against Universal Music Group raises questions about industry favoritism and streaming numbers manipulation
• Concerning footage of Doja Cat appearing robotically controlled during a post-Grammy appearance sparks conspiracy theories
• Ice Cube announces a new Friday movie after a 20+ year hiatus, with speculation about returning cast members
• Trippie Redd's "Life's a Trip" album gets wildly different reviews from us (4/5 vs 2/5), highlighting the subjective nature of emo rap
• Next week we'll be reviewing 2 Chainz's "Based on a True Story" album

Join us next Monday for another episode of Late to the Party, where we'll continue breaking down hip hop culture, music, and entertainment from our unique perspective.

Y'all ain't get to smoke thatbologna.

(01:33):

I'm new to this.
You wanted a cured and smoke.
See all that.
I do it myself.
Yeah, but I was.
I was ready to get out therebut, uh, rain done killed me.
I asked my wife is my statesupposed to rain all day?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
she said yeah, 100 damn well, I looked outside damn
my better text.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Bro, it's gonna be one of those days, bro I guess I
can monday, yeah, and that'swhat I thought I was gonna.
You sure I was gonna wait for asecond to be like maybe we'll
do it tomorrow cuz I got upclean.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I'm like you ain't teaching me.
Let me do my due diligence.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Let me do my part.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I pulled up, you was like Like damn bro.
I told y'all I was on my way.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
But we here.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
You know what I'm saying?
We here, let me give him alittle start, and it is a short
week.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Let me give him a start in Go ahead.
We are at the one-yearanniversary of J Cole
apologizing on stage.
Light work Like it's PWC.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, during the weekend.
So see how it sounds.
I think he could have donesomething.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, I don't understand.
I mean, looking back at it,you'd be like, nah, you made the
right decision, but yeah yeah,yeah, I think Lurk like if it
became just a if it just becamea lyric war.
I think Cole and Kendrick wouldhave been more interested in

(03:12):
that field of it.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Do you ever think it'll get back to that point,
like I feel now with, I guess,how the government is putting
their foot in?
The industry's ass right nowyou think it'll go back to like
that party era.

(03:38):
Like not necessarily kid andplay yeah, I think so.
Or at least like the dance era,like the my Duggies.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, I think so, because right now and that's one
thing on the list too, becauseAckles said he's been talking to
people saying that Kendrick iskilling hip hop because
everybody want to be lyrical andthey dissecting lyrics and
stuff but even if that's thecase, I think with the way the
world is going, people will wantto get away from being so

(04:13):
lyrical and people becausepeople sometimes use music to
escape.
Yeah, that's true.
So you know what I'm saying.
I might not have to.
I'm not the biggest fan ofNokia.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
It's giving me Florida vibes, though, like
early 2000 Florida vibes, likeyou ever heard of Grandma, yeah,
or COA Baby.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah.
Like it's giving me that theproducer of that song is from
Africa.
You know what?
I'm saying but that's one ofthem.
Songs, though, and I get whatsome of Kendrick's stans be
talking about in a sense of likeain't nobody trying to hear the
lyrical shit all the time, andI don't want to hear it all the

(04:54):
time, but sometimes you needthat.
But when the no-kill come on,it's like let's just go vibe.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Let's just go chill.
But the clubs got to change too, though.
Well, yeah, you see what I'msaying.
Yeah, Like it can't be allabout sex.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, see, that's the new vibe.
Like I was, what was one of thekids one of my kids showed me a
video.
I think it was them.
They showed me a video of likea party somewhere where
everybody just chilling, Likeain't nobody dancing, everybody
just chilling, Like ain't nobodydancing, they just chilling,

(05:32):
Ain't nobody getting back to thewall.
You know what I'm saying.
So, that's a different vibe andthat's why I don't understand.
Like when people say Get backto the dance, like you just
saying Get back to the dance,it's like Not even necessarily
dance.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's fun.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
But it's starting to go.
You gonna wanna get away Fromthat real life shit, like
Kendrick, give us that real lifeshit.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
But he giving you.
He giving you everything, bruh,that's what?
Like, yeah, yeah, he, but hegiving you everything, bro.
That's what?
Yeah, yeah, the only reasonpeople are saying like, oh, he
killing hip hop, or let's justuse that, he killing hip hop
with all the lyrical miracleshit.
It's like, bro, that's what youhave to bring to a battle to
dismantle your opponent.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
But you also have to have that in your bag to go back
and forth.
But not like us.
It's a hit to go back and forth.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
But not like us.
It's a hit.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
It's a club banger.
Yeah, it's a club banger.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
But you know, I would rather like we talked about on
this episode, about having aregion of everybody having their
own style.
It's trap man.
Trap yeah, from what we know it.
Yeah, okay, yeah, trap yeahFrom what we know it.
Yeah, okay, from what we knowit, because now it's not the
Jeezy that's trapping, it's theSkrillas.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I guess it would be drill.
Would it be drill?
Because what's going on as faras them actually using the music
?
Because at one point it was abig thing, like you're not they
weren't able to use and I knowI'm no, it's good, but uh
because we, we don't.

(07:16):
We're going to talk about thelawsuit, but a little bit.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
You know, at one point they were talking about.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Uh, you know, you shouldn't be able to use lyrics.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
And if you're able to use lyrics, you should be able
to use movies.
Yeah, you see what I'm saying.
So they try to eradicate that,but now they're using shit like
that.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
But it's funny because when one of the biggest
artists in the world is alsoleading into being able to if he
win this or anything, come fromit.
We about to be in trouble.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, period.
Yeah, we about to be in trouble.
Well, let me hey.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
And anytime you did somebody, or you do not even a
dish, you just say a, a, ametaphor.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
You know what I'm saying.
Now we allow writers into theroom, as opposed to people being
their own storytelling.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I mean they already there now anyway, which again
comes from the biggest artistsin the world.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
You see, how true do you think that is?
You see where they said was itGloria or not?
Baby King wrote I can't thinkof the song.
He wrote one of those big songsOn G and X and he wrote it at
12 years old and it was aboutMinecraft.
I could have swore, I sent itto you.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I mean you probably did, but I probably paid it.
No mind, because it's justnonsense.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
They said it was like Baby King said it in the
interview.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
All right, I mean I feel like you, but I was just
like, well, let me bring it upand see how you feel.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I was like come on now.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
But nah, man, I wouldn't mind more.
That's the problem with some ofthe fans right now.
You feel like you got to eitherlike dance.
You got to either like musicfor the bitches, you got to like
lyrical, or you got to likeMatter of fact.
I just got into a debate withsomebody online.
It's like if you like this, youcan't like this.

(09:23):
You can't like both.
You can't like that kind ofmusic.
If you over here doing thisBecause I'm on Twitter and I
like your video and I'm like thesquabble up, hey fam, who the
fuck are you first off?
Oh, and I can like you can'tlike multiple artists no.
They say you can't do that.
I think it was Punch Punch from.
Tde said he liked the Nokiasong and they was like knock him

(09:47):
.
No, it's cool, it's all right,it's a song, it's a good song.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
It's a song like if you come on, I might not turn it
off.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, we're going to vibe with it, but I might not
cut it on either.
Exactly, I ain't looking for it, but if I'm riding pop on
somebody throw it on.
That's cool, cool, we on vibe.
If you party next door, how doyou feel right now?
Was he even in the video?
Not even.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
I told my son.
Let's say SGA.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
I said he could have at least been in the video.
It's from the song.
The two biggest songs fromtheir album together is Give Me
a Hug and Nokia, which is finebecause it's Drake and he's a
featured artist.
Bro Cool, right, the wholealbum.
But through your boy justcouldn't be in the video.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
They party.
Sga's dropping a new shoe.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
They're wanting him to be in the video, Like if I'm
partying, if I'm partying, I'mlike because my wife said that
she said I forgot that that'sfrom their album.
But yeah, if you listen to thesong, right now you would think
it's a new single.
You think he leading up to hisnew shit, which he is?

(11:06):
Oh, he definitely is.
Even if this song not on it, heusing it.
You might get a new version.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
I could see a remix With Mario on there.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
But I saw that video and I said man, dude, couldn't
even be in the video.
Did you watch the video?
I told y'all I watched some ofthem.
I was cleaning up.
What did you think of the?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
The aesthetic shot in .

Speaker 2 (11:28):
IMAX.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, I didn't get that.
I was looking for somethingdifferent.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
First off, IMAX don't show on YouTube, so it don't
even matter.
But then it's not in color.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
It didn't look no different from the Sada Baby.
Get Activated video.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I watched right before that Right, it just led
into it.
I got a 4K TV.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
I'm like I'm mad so I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
The shooting.
I mean it's cool if we wouldhave went to a theater and saw
it, and I think he did rent outa TV.
But when I watch it on my TV,it's a regular video.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's just a regular video.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
I mean it's cool, it's cool.
But I think when you got thewomen dancing and they got the
little feathers and shit, Ithink if that would have been in
color it'd just give it adifferent vibe.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, just give it a different vibe man.
Put little flares of color inthere.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
You know, everybody talking about the which, some
stuff I don't know how a lot ofy'all see, or maybe some of them
be reaches, but they saying ona video that a lot of the parts
are like Kendrick's Super Bowlperformance and all that.
I'm like, fam, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Keep my name alive.
I don't give a fuck at thispoint.
If I'm Kendrick, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
I mean if I'm Kendrick I wouldn't care, but I
also don't see it like everybodyelse see it.
They like look how all thegirls are standing around him.
It's like girls have stoodaround people in multiple videos
, but they saying it's from theSuper Bowl.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Kendrick was in the center.
That's the most recentreference, I guess.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, and then at the end of it he got owls out, so
it's like that's a shot at himsaying he didn't cage the owl.
It's like y'all know, this ishis label, though the owl is
just the alpha like, and that'sthe thing I'm so, I'm so tired
and I know there's gonna be alot more videos of people

(13:20):
talking about, because we are atthe year mark of everything.
So videos and youtubers theyabout to go crazy talking about
that shit it should have beendead right at the superbowl.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Like the lawsuit is its own separate thing, when it
comes to the music, it's cappedoff at that point the biggest
moment on tv.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
It's already done it's already done off at that
point, the biggest moment on TV.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's already done, it's already done.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Come on, man yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Now this lawsuit.
Shit is crazy.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
So with the lawsuit I'm kind of confused on
everything that even still cancome into play in the lawsuit
it's like he can.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Basically you know how you can go and google a
basketball player or NFLplayer's network, or not even
network their contract that'swhat he's trying to do and it's
basically trying to.
He's basically trying to say,like they did everything they
could, what everybody's alreadybeen saying boost the numbers on

(14:26):
.
Kendrick's side or whatever,and you know, basically stunt.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
From the same thing.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
And then when they're saying like, you know, they're
allowing him to blatantly, youknow, call him out of his name
and, you know, discredit him onmy list Like bro, you were doing
the same thing and discreditedhim on my list.
Bro, you were doing the samething and you were challenging
him.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
And that's why I don't understand why the lawsuit
, because so what I read was Idid read about the contracts,
though but they saying at thismoment he can't necessarily see
the contract, but he can requestto see it and then UMG can deny
it if they want.
Whatever right.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
But but he was requesting day-free shit too.
Which is crazy Like everybodythat was associated with him.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
But it's also seen where Shit I done.
Drew a blank when he could.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
My only question was I lost, lost my thought is that
vice versa, like if he, if he is.
You know what I'm saying yeahlike if he's allowed to open up
them books not in the actuallawsuit.
Can he now request from hislawyers to get I?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
mean, if he opened up a lawsuit, I would say yeah,
but kendrick's not being sued.
No, yeah, that's what I'masking, but even though I'm not
being sued, which is why I don'tLike me as a person.
If I'm not being sued, why doyou need my information?

Speaker 1 (15:54):
You don't need nothing from me.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
This is my shit.
You're not suing me, you knowwhat I'm saying.
But then they're talking aboutwith the song.
They talk about the lawyers andthe judge told Drake that all
the stuff about the bot numbersand all that, you got to take
that out.
We're not even looking at that.
So if I got to take that partout, what's the lawsuit now?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, I was about to say it's null and void at that
point.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
I swear I'm trying to prove.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'm trying to prove that he had a trillion dollars,
avoid at that point.
That's what I'm trying to prove.
I'm trying to prove that he hada trillion followers.
They saying Kendrick's Spotifywas like 98 monthly listeners or
something.
But he only has 38 millionstreams a month.
I mean, just because you have acertain amount of subscribers,
don't mean everybody islistening every single day and

(16:44):
we know that.
It's one of those things.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's just like, bro, everybody's looking for
something to just just take awaythe wrongs off the ladder, bro
yeah then, though with um withthe song, though so with the
nokia song, because, becauseDrake's whole point is they're
stopping me from doing certainshit, because they're putting it
all behind him.
You're Nokia now about to benumber two on the billboards.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, with no real push.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
With no real push.
They might not be pushing you,but are they pushing you
backwards?

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Depending on how you're looking at it, it go both
ways you still not getting apush and you signing UMG.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I'm signing on my back.
Do you think that Luther songis really a hit?

Speaker 1 (17:39):
What SZA?

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's a bop.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
It's a good song.
But it's been number one for afew weeks.
It's a good song, yeah, butit's been number one for a few
weeks.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Now I don't get into.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You got to think, though, likein the time we are in now, yeah,
it's not a bop, it wouldn't be.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
It's a good song and I like the song.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
A couple years ago, before Pre-pandemic.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
It wouldn't have been .
I don't think so, cause it'sbeen number one For like it's
been number one For probablylike four weeks.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
But in, and then again like Is it another?
Not right now, no, and that'sthe only song you hearing
outside of this this beef shit.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, I guess, I guess it goes into everybody
wanting something different.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Bro and Kendrick's providing something different,
Drake's providing somethingdifferent.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
The only reason motherfuckers are still on this
beef shit is because the lawsuitshit and and I believe that
100% Without the lawsuit, Ithink this shit is is done.
I mean you'll still have peopletalking about it.
It'll be like the Pusha T shit.
It'll be like the Pusha T andthe Meek.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Mill shit.
It'll be like the Meek Millshit yeah.
You see, what I'm saying,that's what you should.
That's what I didn't understandabout this, bro.
You went through this three,four times prior.
You just didn't want to takeand accept the L, bro, and let
bygones be bygones.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
This lawsuit is wild, I mean.
I mean, we hear it now, thoughI do want to see what comes from
it, though, because, like Isaid, if he gets anything out of
this and we about to be in awhole, there's going to be a lot
of niggas in court.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
My man is just a what do y'all call him A?
Waffle skin Barnes just beflying off the hatchet bro.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Drake.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Don't put me in that light skin.
I'm like what you see.
Academics in Kanye's interview.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Man, I've seen some of it.
I've seen some of it.
I watch more, so Lou Young dohis interpretation of it.

Speaker 2 (19:53):

He was in regular clothes, they said when he took
off the I don't know what youwould call it.
The second one, because he wasin regular clothes.
They said when he took off theI don't know what you would call

He was more so cool.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, he was just like yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Axl, how's the dogs?

Speaker 1 (20:14):
I was like you know what I'm saying, but I didn't

Basically it was like one ofthem humiliation.
Yeah, I been to you, butbasically it was like one of
them humiliation rituals yeah,I've been seeing that though.
You know you take it with agrain of salt.
You know, whatever you want tobelieve in and how you want to
interpret shit, that's how youinterpret it.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I mean, even if you believe in that type of shit
because I believe— A lot of shitjust be lining up.
But the thing with is Kanye atthe point where he need a
humiliation ritual.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
I mean, but they also had Elon in it.
That's where he did the littleHitler salute.
They was saying it was like abillionaire thing.
You have to.
You know everybody got to dosomething.
If you ain't one of them, bitch, I run the world.
One or two billion.

I should probably be in therewith Thuggin' Em or be in there
with Gunna now If they lockin'niggas up for growing up around
some hitters trying to governthem, or building something from
the bottom with your brothersdown J Skull, get high here, up
in here, spend some bands, but Inever Sound like Drake.

(30:20):
You said it sounded like Drake.
Yeah, it did sound like Drake.
I don't know what you mean, butthis sound, this sound, this

(30:49):
sound.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yeah.
So when he was talking aboutthe, turn it back down.
Yeah, yeah, turn me up, gus.
So it came across.
It came across on Twitter acouple days ago and and they
released it in a sense of likeit was choppy, like it wasn't

(31:11):
the whole song.
Okay, it was like it'll play alittle bit, then go quiet, play
a little bit, but now it's thewhole, it's clear CD quality.
Now you know what I'm saying.
Clean like the, it's clear,it's cd quality.
Now you know I'm saying so.
That's what made me think it dosound before everything.
But it also sound like the waythat, the way it came out first

(31:32):
and that's coming out, it's likelet me see if they ain't fucked
with this, though playboycarter just say he used.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, just to say it but sounded like Drake.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
But the beginning of it it's like is that Drake or is
that somebody doing AI Drake?
But yeah, I heard that it'sDrake though.
No, I like it.
I ain't mad at it at all.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
I heard it in the club, I'd be like, okay, they
can get some dollars from that.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
They can get some dollars with that.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
But yo yeah, because when he said when I scratch the
numbers off he call that acherry, I never heard him make
the call.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Never in life, no way .
But there's another one that Ikind of heard a little bit of,
but it's with him and 21 Savage.
That's music, Okay, before welet me ask you a question what's
up?
What is hip hop culture?

Speaker 1 (32:35):
At this point, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
And that kind of leads into my point of my next
question.
Do you think one of us not meor you, but us could be a
culture vulture?
And this, why?

(32:57):
This the reason I asked that.
This is the reason I asked that.
Right, jello Ball, right, hegot the song everybody liked, at
least the first one he dropped.
But then there's people like heain't from here, he don't do

(33:17):
this.
How do you talk about stufflike this?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
That was my hesitation, because I was like I
I mean, when you got peopleLike Jello and them, they come
from a good life, but they daddy.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Is Necessarily yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Come from the life that he provided them.
You see what I'm saying Like,if I ain't mistaken, they from
Him and his brother From likeCompton.
Okay, like they from like theinner city.
Now, what they talking about?
Hell, nah, they ain't live thatshit.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
But at this point, like nigga who cares, just say
I'm good, and that's the thing.
So, and then I was thinkingabout the whole Ja Morant thing
and how he turned up and do thisand da-da.
And then everybody like, oh,you went to a private school,
you went to this, and da-da-da.
So I like, oh, you went to aprivate school, you went to this

(34:06):
, da-da-da.
So I'm just asking could one ofus be a culture?

Speaker 1 (34:10):
vulture, I guess in a particular subculture.
I guess because there's a lotof niggas that ain't in gangs
but they be like what's up, dude?

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
And then when they get around, they hey Ron, I
thought you was Shut up, Shut up.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Nah but.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
I don't.
It's just a question.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
And I'm going to be honest, I don't know.
I thought you was going to askme, like, what is hip-hop
culture, nigga, I don't know.
Now we don't know that either.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Right now Supposed to be yeah, but that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
They ain't trying to hear my good poetry.
No more what, everybody want todo.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
I got to kill a nigga God damn what you think about
the NBA charging Jai with thatgun.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Salute I'd rather take it at 75 and still be able
to make 273,000 a game yeah.
As opposed to not makingnothing.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
So is he going to be the only one charged?

Speaker 1 (35:07):
that's doing that, though.
Hey, you know what?
That'll be my wish collar,that'll be my appeal.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
And I'll put that in my appeal, because I mean you
know.
Because that's crazy, becauseeverybody do, I'm like.
So it's cool for niggas toinject motherfucking dope in.
They veins In.
They veins Ice cold dope in.
They veins on the court.
But I can't shoot a bitchbecause I'm out here shooting a
bitch.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Because I'm shooting a bitch.
Yeah, man, I've seen others doit.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
I think if he would have got just smacked that one
time for the little gun shit.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
It wouldn't have been a Nah he smacked that one time
for the little gun shit.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
It wouldn't have been a.
Nah, he's just going crazy.
I'll drop three, threes, yeah,oh, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, man.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
They just done, moved away from him being the face of
the league.

it like If somebody prepped himto being like hey, bro, you

Even if we did start doing thatshit, we still need material.

We still going to have to get it, Because even if
your plan is to which is a good,don't get me wrong having more
stuff made in America, whatever,whatever but for that to happen
, you're going to have to buildfactories, which takes time.
You're going to have to changethe format of how everything is
going on, which takes time.
So, even if there is a longterm to even build that shit,

(51:17):
most of our fucking, most of thelumber and shit, all that stuff
, it comes from Canada type shit.

Speaker 1 (51:25):

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Now that, Because he's saying some of them start
next week, Some of them alreadystarted they say on the smaller
stuff, we'll start seeing theeffect as soon as they hit, Like
avocados and shit, like foodand shit like that.
But the bigger shit it'll be.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
It'll be a minute, Damn that's crazy man, Because
they still going to charge youthe same $11, $12 for that
burrito.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Even if you say no guacamole, yeah, that don't
change shit.

Speaker 1 (52:28):

We still ship the avocados in here, nigga, we
still getting that shit in port.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Yeah, that shit going to be like work for real.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
But even if, let's say, some of the countries that
he hit with the 34%, like thecompanies that they start, if
they start shipping shit,they're not just going to charge
us the 34%, they're going tocharge us 50% because they still
going to want to get theyprofit kickback type shit.
This shit about to be funEither way.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
This about to really be the haves and have nots.
See how strong your network is,so we get to bartering.

I don't know shit.
I know the very bare minimum,maybe a little bit Uh.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Judicial Legislation and uh Executive.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
Shit, I ain't need it , but uh, either way, let's go
ahead and review I don't knowwhy yeah, what I mean, but
that's true, though.
You know what I'm saying.

(54:08):
That's true.
Which is so sad Me.

Speaker 1 (54:13):

Oh my mama, I'm td quick to uhthis week.
This week we are reviewing analbum from trippy red called

(54:41):
life's a trip, which wasreleased in 2018.
This this is his debut album,which is under the category
which is emo rap, which thelabel is.
A bunch of producers, austinPowers, diplo, c-note.
I mean, he had Scott Storch,weezy Murder Beats the.

(55:03):
Scott Storch once heard thisalbum and I'm like, did that
nigga just say Scott Storch?
That just threw me because atthe time we hadn't heard from
Scott Storch in fucking forever.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Man I could.
I had to pause it.
I said, hold on, bro.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Yeah, but he had a bunch of producers on there.
I mean, he had a few singles,but the two biggest singles, or
the one biggest single whichfeatured Travis Scott, which is
Dark Knight Domo.
Then he had Wish, then he hadTaking a Walk.
As far as how long the albumwas, it was 14 songs, 46 minutes

(55:46):
, which is not bad.
You know what know I'm saying,especially for this time.
Um, as far as the charts, it uh, it got up to the number 49 on
r&b and hip hop albums andnumber 134 on billboard.
It got a little higher in othercountries and shit.
So the highest that it got wasnumber one on the independent

(56:10):
billboard charts, which was here.
So yeah, I mean independent.
At the time the label wasindependent either way.
You know what I'm saying.
So, but yeah, so this isTrippie Redd.
If y'all don't know TrippieRedd, he is an interesting
character.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Didn't he start out with like Triple X and 6ix9ine?

Speaker 2 (56:33):
Well, they not like necessarily with them, but that
time frame no, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
but they did a lot of collabs.
Yeah, no, I know he did somewith 6ix9ine, definitely.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
And then you said x and then um, who the what the
fuck ski mask?

Speaker 2 (56:52):
so yeah, okay, yeah, yeah yeah, so they had some
stuff together, um so I'm not inthe emo rap.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
I'm not on a sunday.
When I was to this.
This was bringing me the fuckdown.
The only light I seen in thisalbum was Scott Stewart getting
a check from somebody the TravisScott.
I knew that from my son, butI'm like this shit is like when

(57:24):
that nigga kept saying like,yelling at me, talking about I
might move my brain like KurtCobain.
I was like nigga, no wonder browant to listen to this shit.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
This is literally like this might be one of the
albums where we have a different, different rating bro.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Yes, most definitely, cause this is like, bro, this
is a black man's version ofacceptable in a white man's
rocker world.
Because they look at him aslike, yeah, you're doing our
shit.
You're doing what we do, butyou're not a poser man, you're
really you man.

(58:05):
But then he give you rap, hegive you songs I think it's bang
, because that's one of the onesI like, where the nigga is
really rapping you like bro, hegot a few songs on here where he
rapping, but that's the onethat stood out so you could
really rap, but you, yeah, youwant this gimmick shit and
that's what was throwing me out,bro, because I was like,

(58:25):
outside of the few songs that Ido like and the album cover art,
yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
The cover art is crazy.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
I was like this, shit is not for me, so.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
I think the album is great, Right the intro.
I love the intro because I lovethe way it slides in.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
But I'm going to play , I'm going to play Yo bro.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
This man is crazy.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Hold on.
I just want to play a littlebit of the intro.
I fucking love this intro cuz.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
Yeah, the cover art was great.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
The cover art was great.
Let me look it up real quick.
I'm a rock star.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
We got to keep it together.
I thought that was Triple Hwhen I first heard it.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Yeah, it put you in that vibe of X.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
I thought that was him, I said damn, he got it.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
I got to keep it together and don't wait until,
because it's not a lot to thesong, it's just like an
introduction to what we about toget.
You know what I'm saying as faras the songs that I liked on
this album I like Together.

The other ones that I think areokay, I got Wish Forever, ever

(01:00:15):
how you Feel, and then the OompsRevenge, right, the only song I
don't like on here.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):

Underwater Fly Zone and then Shake it Up.
Them the only two songs thatI'm like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):

Why Shake it Up Right?
The production on this album.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
I just didn't like him doing that.
It's like I'm trying to make adance song, but I'm sad too.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
That was one of the ones I liked yeah, but out of 14

That's thick and I didn'tunderstand the Quasimodo line.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
Big and back being bull.
So you're blood in here.
How does that make sense?
They let you in, but overall Ithink the album is great.
This is one of them albums thatI actually go back a lot to.
I remember listening to it withmy son back in the day when he

(01:02:27):
started getting, cause he was abig X fan.
He was a big X fan, so it'skinda like this is one of the
first albums, cause we like tosend albums to each other, and I

Scott Thug is on here, like Igot a few people here with me.
This is what I do.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
And then the production he I did like that
version Of Thug he got.
Yeah, that's probably whereMost of the the rating come from
the production for me.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
The production is good and he has so many
different producers it's notlocked into one sound.
You know what I'm saying, so Ido.
I give it a four out of five.
