Speaker 1 (00:00):
My man's books be looking like how they look.
Yeah, I get you.
You know what I mean, butthat's what we do.
This is what we're going tostart with today.
Who's that?
I've been on this record sincethis week, man.
Ever since the Super Bowl, I'vejust been what he do.

(00:24):
Don't back down.
50 went on the run.
Y'all wasn't tired.
This, the best 100% Must exist.
See see this list.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Look nigga now listen Magic.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Steve Yo, welcome to another episode of Late to the
Party with Doty and Reggie.
I'm Reggie, I'm Doty and Iwanted to start with that
because, like literally eversince the Super Bowl, I've just
been on listening to diss tracksLike and I forgot and I ain't
forget about Back Down for 50Cent.
But it's like Jai had to goagainst, like a juggernaut like

(01:14):
y'all talking about, like Drakeis 20 V1, like Jai was going
against the machine.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Jai went against a nigga who had four to five.
He had all.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
He had the stones, he had the stones the machine, jai
went against a nigga who hadfour to five he had all he had,
the stones, he had four, andthen, when he beat Jai, the R&B
hymn came out.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
He was like you know what you can take the gauntlet
50 was and I was thinking aboutthis.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I've been listening, like I said, I've been listening
to, like you know, battle rapsand like diss tracks.
But I also been seeing peoplelike the year Kendrick had was a
great year, awesome, but peopleare saying nobody has had a
year bigger than him.
And I don't know from whatstandpoint we look at when we
talk about that, because when 50now 50 didn't get the Super

(02:05):
Bowl, but when 50 came out.
You can go way before 50 though,bro.
Let's go Like that's, butthat's the first one that came
to mind.
Okay, right before 50,.
Who would you say?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
DMX had a year, dmx had a, but would you consider
Nelly having a year as well?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Ah, Nelly had a year.
No, I'm just saying Nelly had arun too.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
If we're going to start at 50.
Nelly had a run too, just startgoing back bro.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, you see what I'm saying, and that's what I
was saying.
When people are asking that anddoing that, is it a better run
than Tupac?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean like a year.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Let me take my jacket off, but I feel like when
people been asking that and Iknow we jumping right into it
but welcome.
But I know, like, knoweverybody talking about that and
I'm trying to not let nostalgiapiece my mind to it Because I
know what happened in the past.
But I'm also a big fan ofKendrick so I'm like this year

(03:17):
has been great, but he I meanbesides getting the Super Bowl
and the five Grammys and I knowyou can't say besides, because
that's part of it- but at thispoint I mean, when you say,
besides the five Grammys,doesn't he always have a Grammy
run Always?

Speaker 2 (03:37):
So I mean, you can't even, you don't have to say that
.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I just been trying to think about that, but I didn't
even think about Nelly.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
But I'm just saying there's a lot of motherfuckers
that done had runs especially ayear, especially a year but
ain't nobody had no Drake typeshit.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
You see what I'm saying and I guess that's what
it is when you put it inperspective of the the dish run
that he had against one of the,yeah, the dish run that he had
against one of the I mean notone like the biggest rap artists
Damn, would you say he wouldyou say he clips the machine?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
bro who, kendrick, I mean nah, because he had the
machine.
I was about to say he but yougot to have something for the
machine to even Exactly.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Plug up into what you got going on, and that's
another thing People be sayingif they made Drake, make another
Drake, and I agree with that.
You just can't make a.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Drake Not to take away from my man, because I'm a
huge Kendrick fan, but they kindof did.
We don't need yourlight-skinned prettiness.
We can get a hook and polishhim up you know, what I'm saying
, prettiness.
We can get a hook and polishhim up.
It make it.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
But, like you said, you have to have something for
the machine to, because you can,let's say, not like us.
Everybody want to say that itwas bodied, the numbers was, but
when you see them Super Bowlvideos out of the world jamming
to the zone you can put it outas many times as you want, but
the world is clicking to thezone.
You can put it out as manytimes as you want, but the world

(05:06):
is clicking to that song.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Those videos discredit the Casanats and all
these other YouTubers and I onlybring them up because that's
the last video I see.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, where they was like man y'all on
Gargi.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
You know what I'm saying.
They like it was dead in there.
You know what I'm saying.
They like it was dead in there.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm like the videos that I wasseeing, where it was dead.
It was like nigga, they in thenosebleeds, they in the upper
bowl, and then it's like they'renot paying to see Kendrick.
They're paying to see theirfavorite team.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
They there for the Super Bowl, they there for the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's what I'm saying.
So when people was like man, itwas dead in there, for one
nigga know it wasn't.
It wasn't.
That bitch was going down.
If you were sitting in theright spot like bro, you know
for one a motherfucker going topay for that, you going to pay
that premium price.
That's you know, when we talkabout luxury ticket items.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Nigga, I don't even know what they call the.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Super Bowl, the Super Shit, yeah, the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
My girl man.
Our birthday is like earlyFebruary.
She's like man baby, we got togo to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
I'm like the ticket's at 6,000.
By themselves, that's a ticket.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
And that's up there.
I mean, if I had it, you knowwhat?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I'm saying, of course , that's a yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Niggas is paying.
Hey, we gotta save up Four anda half months rent.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Ain't nobody about to save.
Well, I ain't gonna say ain'tnobody, I don't wanna have to
save up To go to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
But, but who was?
Who was the girl?
Was it Meg?
Probably Meg.
I think it was Meg.
She was on the carpet, FanDuelcarpet.
It was like who?
You hear this?
She was like man, I'm just hereto see Kendrick.
Yeah, you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
It was a couple of people, tyler.
They asked the R&B team.
They asked her like what?
You who?
You?
I'm here to see Kendrick.
I don't like that argument whenthey and I know we talked about
the Super Bowl but people stilltalking about the crowd was
dead in there.
So I do what I do.

(07:10):
I look at past Super Bowlperformances.
No artist had the and that'swhy you bring the crowd who want
to be there.
That's why you bring them tothe field.
That's why you put them on thefield.
You look in a crowd at anyperformance.
A lot of people just back therebecause they not there for that

(07:31):
they blowing it up.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Bro.
The halftime is intermissiontime, that's all it is.
Damn.
I've been holding this goddamnpiss.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
But once you see all these videos that everybody
posting from cruise ships, fromall the ships, I can't.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Are those videos valid?
And then it's coming frompeople that really they listen,
they into the music but they,they kind of already chose their
size.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Some of them have yeah, yeah, some of them have.
So I mean, I don't want todiscredit what they're doing,
but what they they doing lookscrazy when there's proof on the
other side.
Payola's real and we accept it.
That ain't a lie, I mean.
Depending on the number now Ican't just go for everything.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Hold on, Wouldn't that be crazy?
Shit start popping.
We come here one episode welike we ain't even really even
fuck with Kendrick like that.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Hey man, look.
Only mixtape I really like isX-N-80s.
Lie like a motherfucker forthat break.
Who the fuck want to listen toall that blackity, black shit?
It's a white man behind thecamera like that.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Ain't nobody dancing to that shit?
Come on, man.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Let me erase that off my playlist.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Show your number one views and be still kiddin'.
But yeah, that's still beenlike the topic of the week and I
have watched it.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
And let me say this Go ahead.
I don't know if I said it lastweek, but I appreciated the show
more so than anything.
I was like bruh he gave us theconcert, he gave us a show.
Than anything.
I was like bruh, he gave us theconcert, he gave us a show.
If you were not going to beable to attend a show, bruh, it
might not be to you know thiscapacity, yeah, but what we seen

(09:16):
was like damn, bruh, I wouldn'tmind going to get a payday loan
for that show.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I wouldn't do it.
But Outside of him notperforming the hits, everybody
thought he was going to perform.
It was a good show, though,like if you take your biases and
if you just step back and lookat it, it's like because that's
the only thing I hear frompeople is oh, I thought he was
going to do different songs,that's why they didn't like it.

(09:44):
But that's what you get forassuming yeah, because it's the
Super Bowl.
So you think at the Super Bowleverybody's supposed to, which
again, samuel L Jackson isnarrowing the whole point and
y'all complaints is exactly thepoint.
He's not doing the hits like wethought he would do.
That's exactly what Samuel L issaying.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
He's not playing into that game and a lot of people
just watched it like not, I hadwhat I was going to say while
you was talking, but basically,basically, it was like one of
the things like you didn't comeinto it.
Open is what I'm trying to say,exactly Most people already had

(10:24):
a thought process of what theywas going to think of oh, if he
don't do this, it ain't shittype shit.
You know what I'm saying.
But if you just was like man,let me see what he's going to do
and just accept it for what itwas and then dissect it after
Right.
Most people was watching itlike he going to do this.
Damn, he ain't do that man.
This shit lame bro.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
He ain't do nothing.
I like he ain't do nothing.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
He didn't do nothing you like.
Yeah, that's why the show wastrash.
Yeah, you see what I'm saying,but I mean that's why.
That's why when dude, youtube,bon Jovi, all these
motherfucking asses that donethe show, madonna, well, that

(11:05):
was a bad, because I've neverseen black people, black people,
we don't watch those SuperBowls.
So even when you go back as akid or just a young man, you
like, bro, I used to go take ashit during halftime.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
During the Super Bowl halftime.
That badass Rotel.
Yo, yo, yo yo.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Sherry man, you know what I'm saying?
That type of shit.
But it didn't get big untilJay-Z got into it, you until
Jay-Z got into it.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
You see what I'm saying, because now, he know it
didn't get to our culture.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It didn't get our culture untilyo we didn't really give a fuck
about it.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, I mean we gonna watch the big names Michael
Jackson, prince, yeah, thosenames.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
You know what?
I'm saying but outside of thosenames got no hip-hop period oh,
but you, you couldn't get willsmith at that moment?
And then, when justintimberlake and fucking janet
jackson fucked up, they blamedeverything on janet jackson and
then, and the white man snatchedher wardrobe it was a

(11:57):
malfunction, bitch you yousnatched at it.
Have you looked at that?
They talk about this, this as amalfunction, but he, literally,
you can see, it was a play.
It was a play, of course, youknow what I'm saying.
But I hated it because, if theydid it now, oh, I hated it
because Justin Timberlakealthough we like Justin
Timberlake he continued to keepgoing.

(12:19):
But you know that's what I mean, I know, I know, I know you see

You know, before we, I knew wewas going to listen to it, I
mean review it but did youlisten to Party Next Door and
Drake, or I should say, but didyou listen to Play Next Door and

I love the fact that he could do that.
Yeah, Because the songs that hedid put on there it sounded
good, Like some of them soundedgood.
I'm not going to say it's not.
This is the version of Drakethat I do like.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah, because he can tap into it.
That's why we all do like Drakebecause he can tap into that
vulnerable bag.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
And I didn't do a deep dive.
Like I said, I listened to itafter I was running through
Beanie, through my, you know.

But what do you think about?
On one hand, drake is suing fordefamation of character Cause

other hand, he's still shootingat niggas on his end.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I don't understand, like the logic behind it.
Yeah, but I don't understandhim because I don't know him,
but I feel like I understand thecharacter that is.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Drake yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
So it's like Drake, you can't do what you're suing
for.
I'm Drake, I can do what I want.
I can do what I want.
I can do what I want my dad.

Speaker 1 (17:10):

Right out of 21 songs, it'slike 2.
I like people gonna say I hateDrake.

(19:15):
So it is what it is.
This shit is terrible to me.
It's fucking horrible causeit's boring.
Oh, and I said that to somebody, because on Twitter I gotta
stop talking to niggas onTwitter.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Excuse me, I ain't even on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Nigga said you probably don't get no bitches.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm married, I don't know but you probably don't own
a home.
I won't say it was terrible.
It's a different shit you canthrow out.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
They do.
Somebody used to tell me thatbecause it's like people tell me
about Wiz Khalifa oh well, youdon't smoke, so you don't like
him.
But it is what it is.
But I won't say it's terrible,it wasn't, it wasn't.
It wasn't.
I just wanted you know my bagI'd bring a win.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I don't smoke Music is so, so God damn bro.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Do you like Curzzy?
No, but I do like Curzzy.
He's smart.
Curzzy be snapping, though, buthe rap better than it's two
different styles.
It definitely is, it definitelyis, it definitely is.
But now the Drake album, though, like I said, it's two, but you
only like two songs.
Let me say it's a few songsthat's cool, but it's only like

(20:34):
two or three songs that I'm like.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I'll go back to those , yeah yeah, yeah, you know what
I'm saying.
I'll go back to those.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
I think it's one called Deeper and then one of
the early ones.
It might be the.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
There you go CN Tower , mothball.
Something About you Crying atChanel.
Spider-man, superman.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Spider-Man, Superman.
I like that one.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Deeper Small Town.
Fame Is Pit Me's Dilemma.
Is that the girl, just the girl?
I like that song.
Yeah, braun Steele, hold on.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Braun Steele, that's.
That's Young Thug's lawyer.
Yeah, a lawyer who fought forlyrics not to be used in court.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Okay, but you get what I'm saying no, no, no, no,
no, no, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
But then you are suing somebody in court for
their lyrics.
Okay, and I know everybodygoing to say, well, he's not
suing for the lyrics, he's suingthe company because the company
shouldn't put it out.
But what shouldn't they put out?
Which one did he drop thelyrics?
He dropped a petition againstUMG and Spotify for botting.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Okay, so it's technically not so.
The one that was still on isthe defamation.
The defamation, Because I man,I ain't gonna lie.
After a while, I was just likeI don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, I don't see how this, I don't see how that,
Because you got to wait formusic bro.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, like that, like at that point I don't give a
fuck.
When it starts spilling offinto like outside of what they
put in the music and it startsspilling off into like personal
shit, like bruhs, like youreally trying to take away from
my plate.
Yeah, I don't really want toget into that.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
And that's why I hope that when Kendrick did the Game
Over shit like he's really justdone, yeah, no, no, no.
Watch my hands with it.
Of course, he's still going toperform, not Like Us.

Speaker 2 (22:45):

You can do all your little shityou're doing in your Australian

Drake is the man, when it cometo shit like that, to make it
seem like it don't faze him,yeah.

Yeah, that's when it's just like goddamn bro, you
jumped over there just to swimback.

Cushion Orange Juice Is one ofmy favorite mixtapes.
The original I know Crit Washere Was one of the best too.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Crit Was.
Here was nice.
That's when Crit was.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Crit, that was.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I don't do them like that.
No, no, no.
And I apologize Cause I loveCrit, but I feel the same.
There was a time frame whereit's like, oh, he about to be
one of them.
If y'all don't know, in thecontrol verse that everybody
shook up, kendrick actuallyshouted out Critt as well when
he called the names that goalfor Jermaine Cole.

(32:46):
Big Critt Wiley.
Pusha T Meat Mill, a$ap RockyDrake.
Big Sean Jay Electron Tyler.
Big KRIT Wiley.
Pusha T Meat Mill, a$ap RockyDrake.
Big Sean J Electron Tyler.
Mac Miller I got love for youall, but I'm trying to murder
you niggas, what KRIT come backwith.
That was deadly boy.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
What KRIT?
Come back with.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
I don't know what KRIT do after that Mount.
I forgot about that, which wasa nice, but they had to change
the beat when they put thethat's what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (33:13):
I hate that shit.
That was Crick.
Is that pimp still up?

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Nigga.
I don't know, because I thinkif it is, it was one time where
everything on that pimp waserased, where they erased a lot
of the back.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
That's why yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Which all my shit is gone man quit.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
If you ever stumble upon this, bro, I'm not gonna be
one of them.
Lame.
Well, I ain't gonna say lame,but I ain't gonna be one of them
lame, I'm not saying it againLame man, I guess I am Cause,
bro, he got one of the hard 2000and beyond, where he cut up

(33:50):
dead prisoners.
Bruh, oh my fucking god bruh.
But when you go back to it now,it's a different and it's not
clear oh my god.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
See, that's the problem when that's the one
problem that you run into,especially when people try to
put their old mixtapes on, likeDSP's now, which we ran into
with Wayne, where some of theeither it's different beats
which fuck up the whole vibesometimes, or songs just gone.
Never even make it.
Yeah, on Chance the Rapper,because I, you know, we used to

(34:20):
listen to, I used to listen toChance and then he put out Acid
Rap, one of them mixtapes butwhen you go to the mixtape he
actually put it on DSPs.
It's like two songs, it's not.
It's not on DSP.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah, see that, and bruh.
That's why I be trying to goback to my bird crib and find
all of my old mixtapes.
Yeah, bruh, cause it's likewe'll never get them shits again
, nah, and the only people thatgot them are the people that got
them much different like on aCD versus like trying to listen
to it on a DSP.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
anyway, right now it's too much bro.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Totally different.
That's why, like I'm starting,I know we becoming the old
niggas now we all.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Yeah, because I just hit my own year, last year, we
all cuz, yeah, we all.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
But it's just like, bro, like when I used to hear my
granddaddy and mygreat-granddaddy, they used to
say it don't sound like the 45s,it don't sound like the vinyl.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
You know what I'm saying?
They listening to tapes andshit.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
You say oh, we listen to tapes and CDs when they get
new and they like this.
Shit do not sound like theMarvin Gaye that I came up off
of.
It's just a different.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
pull that thing out, yo yo yo, yo.
Now listen to this you knowwhat I'm saying, that type of
shit.
And you know it's crazy,because I've been listening to
the GNX album, the KendrickLamar album, but I just got my
actual CD in, so I'm riding inthe whip.
I put the CD in.
Bass is different, likeeverything just sounds so much.
It's just different.
It's just a different feel.
So you like it better.

(35:47):
On the.
CD Hell yeah, that's why I'mback on my buying CDs now.
Even though I don't really fuckwith the Drake album that much.
I just seen that he put actualCDs on sale.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
I'm gonna grab one.
I told my old lady I was likeman, you can go ahead and refund
that shit because I was notwaiting.
I don't want that shit atChristmas For the Kendrick Lamar
shit.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
That's the only thing , because they for a lot of
people that's doing CDs and shit, it's like a pre-order.
And then the pre-order wepre-ordered before Christmas, we
just I'm just now getting amotherfucking CD.
I'm like bro, what?

Speaker 2 (36:21):
the fuck, because I ain't gonna bro, like when I go
and clean them up, that's whenat my vinyl I'm like shit,
everybody gone.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Yeah, because you know vinyl only holds like maybe
six songs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then you gotta flip thatbitch.
You gotta flip thatmotherfucker over.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
You see what I'm saying, but it I just enjoy,
like, especially when yousmoking, bro, you just chilling,
laying back.
You can just put that,motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Just let it go.
Goddamn that shit sound good.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yo Shut the just let it go.
Damn that shit sound good.
Yo shut the fuck up.
You know what I'm saying.
Niggas, run up top of your headand sit, bruh need a smoker's
coat.
You know what I'm saying I lovethe the CD sound did he do an
old school like the, thepamphlet and everything whole?

Speaker 1 (37:05):
booklet and everything.
I didn't like that with Tyler,because on Tyler it just
literally a slide in.
It's a vinyl, but it's a CD.
You know what?
I'm saying he didn't putnothing to it.
The Kendrick, though bookletproduced everything.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
That's why I love Killer Mike's vinyl bro.
I can't put them up.
I got a baby girl, but he gotthat the visuals that he put in,
that the slip covers and shitboy.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
But you know, outkast and them was good for that back
in the day.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, bro man, they was beautiful at that
shit yeah yeah, yeah, and I, youknow I didn't learn it until
you know, we was in high school,but Entree was doing all the
artwork on the CDs.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta work with that moment you
hear a noise, make sure yougood.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Let's go Go through that bookcase like it.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Nigga retarded boy.
Hey, speaking of Alcatraz, youhear Eric Abadu got a new little
album on the way.
I heard a snippet of somethingHer and Alcman Shout out to Al.
He is on the run right now.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
That voice is just.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
It's Eric.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Do what I want to hear, eric.
I don't want to hear the effecton her voice.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
I understand that it remind me of.
But this is a snippet online.
Them in the studio.
It could sound totallydifferent once this F is
actually dropped.
You know what I'm saying, but Ididn't know if you had heard it

(39:10):
or not.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
I seen the video because it was looking all weird
.
I was like you making stuffweird for me.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Well, you know everybody.
Now they're trying to be artsy.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
You know what we're missing?
Mystique.
Everybody can't don't need tobe all that, just put the shit
out.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
If you're going to put the shit out, you see,
jay-z's lawsuit got dropped wellwith prejudice, so that means
no one can file again, which wekind of knew it was going to
there can only be one once thatstory started falling apart.
it was falling apart Like, yeah,If I didn't know, now is the

(39:57):
time for the Rock and Roll Hallof Fame, the nominees.
Usually I didn't even know youcould vote or if they had fan
voting in the past.
But just because OutKast ispart of the nominees, I wanted
to put in the vote.
But I did want to read throughwho they do have.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Don't you want to Dave?
I don't know I just votedBecause I did it when you guys
sent me the link.
Yeah, I voted that time and Iain't even went back to it and I
got the thing.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
I was like damn ain't nobody else, they got
Soundgarden, which is a rockband from the 90s.
They got the Black Crow, BadCompany, Mana Mariah Carey,
which should be Joe Cocker.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Cindy Lopper, which definitely should be.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
I would have thought she would have been there.
Exactly Oasis, Exactly Oasis.
Fish Fish is at Bonnaroo everyyear.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Who are they?
They like one of them Dutchbands, something like that I
ain't never even go to theirstage.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
I ain't even seen them one time.
I would have thought Billy Idolwas there too.
Billy Idol is on here, theWhite Stripes which I mean.
Before you even go.
Is that who?
I think it was in it too.
Billy Idol is on here, theWhite Stripes which I mean.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Before you even go.
Is that who?
I think it is Okay, nah.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Chubby Checker, Joy Division and the New Order which
Chubby Checker should.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That's crazy.
What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (41:22):
And then OutKast.
Now that.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
I'm saying Chubby Checker, is your boy in there?

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Who Chuck?

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Berry.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
That I don't know.
That I don't know.
But if y'all are interested,y'all can go to the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame and vote forwho you just saying, berry, yeah
, they had a brain for it.
I got lost.

(41:52):
Got in in 1986, fam, don't makeno sense.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Lil Richard in 86 that class is crazy insane.
You hear me Lil.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Richard.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Jerry Lee Lewis.
Oh, he came a year after.
He came a year after.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah, he came a year after.
These are the people that's in96, though.
Billy Joel, jerry Lee Lewis,keith Richards, neil Young,
steve.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Winwood.
I don't know who that is.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
I don't know who that is.
But yeah, so I do.
I mean congratulations toeverybody who is, you know, in
the nominees for 2025 um so whatdoes it take for you to get in
the hall of fame like?

(42:43):
I mean they got their own andthen people to vote on I guess
so, but then I think, like Isaid, I don't know how long
they've been having where fanscan vote, but I know they have
their own.
I wonder if it's like, becauseonce you get a Grammy you're
able to vote for the Grammys.

(43:03):
So I wonder if it's like onceyou are in the Hall of Fame.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, like once you win aGrammy, you can now vote on the
Grammys.
I think, out of all thecategories, you get to pick out
of 11 categories during theGrammys.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Is it one Grammy per vote, or you just?

Speaker 1 (43:23):
What you mean.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
So if I get 15 Grammys, do I get 15 votes?

Speaker 1 (43:27):
No now you just can vote.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
That's like the government who Bitch I got 48
votes.
Ain't nobody winning this shit?

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Dodie again.
So that's how that do, but Idon't know if the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame.
I'm pretty sure they got theirgroup.
You know they select the peoplewho do vote.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
But then I voted for Alcatraz, so I mean, that's how
your boy from Joe Bunn podcastbe getting the vote yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
So I guess it's not even when you win one, it's when
you nominated, because he'sbeen nominated, but I don't
think he's won.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Yeah, but he has been nominated a couple of times.
That's kind of Because there'sa lot of people that get
nominated, but you can only votefor 11 categories.
Yeah, I do remember him.
Yeah, that's where I heard itfrom.
So if I'm a rapper, I don'twant.
I'm only going to vote In thesecategories I know about.

(44:26):
I ain't going to give a fuckabout all of them, I don't know
the fuck fish is.
I ain't going to give a fuckabout none of that shit.
You know what I'm saying.
So I voted for OutKast, ofcourse, because it's OutKast,
it's Big Boy, it's Andre 3000.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
It's Dungeon Family, yeah because if they get in,
everybody in what?
Because that's just the familydynamic.
That's why I love OutKast man.
They might go through theirturmoil, but it's like bitch
y'all don't know about it,Because that's family though.
No, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, we a family down there.
And then when I found out RicoWade didn't take everything that

(45:04):
he could have and was givingthem their music.
They own their music.
Y'all can sell it if y'all wantto type shit, I thought that
was even more.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Yeah, but that's how you, you can build.
See that the thing, especiallyin America, anyway the greed can
take over.
So, motherfuckers, just, youput your name on something.
I'm taking everything.
You know what I'm saying.
But if you look at it, for thelong haul, if we just do this
together, we still going to bestraight.

(45:31):
You know what I'm saying.
You going to be good, I'm goingto be good.
You know what I mean.
Shout out to Joe Budden that'swhat he said, him and his Ian.
Ian is his manager and that'show they got it.
They kind of just like ain't nocontracts, ain't no, we just
it's how we rock.
You know what I'm saying.
Ain't too many people you cando that with.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
But you know what I'm saying.
So, but If you can, thoughthat's what's up, though you
don't need much to live like aking, nah, but that's not the
thought process.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
That's how I mean shout out to Jay for getting his
shit dropped, but that's howniggas around him got fucked up
Because Jay want to be Jay,rather than you know what I mean
.

Speaker 2 (46:20):

(47:31):
Which shit amazing.
The singles from it was thetruth and remember them days.
It only went gold, which backthen I only want to say only I
want to take that away.
It went gold.
It went gold because beforedigital, I know everybody live
off of selling a million.
Right now, selling 500 was.
If you sell 500 copies rightnow, overall you'll be looked at

(47:54):
as like, oh nigga, you ain'teven doing nothing.

I don't know, in these times, like in these times
, in these times, you probablywon't get 500 unless you no,
that's why I said it One of thebig dogs, if you say that in

If a nigga hear hard sales500,000 hard sales, oh hard

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Again, it did sell, it went.
I'm sorry, no disrespect.
It did go gold.
It got featured from MemphisBleak, jay-z, emile Eve Scarface
, and then, for some reason,jay-z got his own song at the
end.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah, because I was like bro wasn't anything on Hard
Knock.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Life.
No, it wasn't on Hard KnockLife, it was on.
Was it on Volume?
It was on something else, butit was premiered on Because I
was like what the fuck is he?
He got his own song at the endof hey see if this work on
Bean's album.
Yeah, throw it at the end.
Throw it at the end.
It has nothing to do withanything but.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
I don't give a fuck Put it on the end.
I'm footing the bill and it gotDame Dash signature right there
.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Again, the singles from this album was the True and
then Remember them Days.
Remember them Days was a songwith Eve on it.
Because they're both fromPhilly, I didn't really care
much for that song.
I could have done without that.
As far as the songs that reallystand out, go ahead.
I thought you were about to saysomething.
Go ahead, no, no, no no, finishwhat you're saying.

(50:26):
What your Life Like has to beone of the greatest rap songs to
ever be made.
Like, just to speak, the wayhe's speaking.
I don't even know if he everbeen to jail, but it sounds
ruthless.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
When I was listening to that I was like, oh yeah,
maybe he ain't a rapper, maybehe really is Maybe he really
about that shit.
Yeah, I was like, because youknow, like when you look back on
like YouTube and you looking atthe videos where I was, I was
like damn man.
I just want to get thenostalgia feeling Because I
remember when we was watchingState Props Paper Soldiers all

(51:07):
that.
Like Beans, never gave theimpression like he was a cool,
calm, collected guy, not once.
And when I was listening tothis I was like he's never been
calm, cool and collected.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Because Matt man Bruh Bruh To even have that concept
with that shit is crazy.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
I said, man, why the?
I need to see how he grew upfor real bro Cause it's like
let's talk about this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah For youto just correlate yourself to
being a fucking Mac 90, mac 10,mac, whatever, bro, and then you
just really saying like I'mgoing to take whatever the fuck
I ain't got and I'm going totake whatever I want.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
The whole time, even when you was trying to get like
sentimental, it was like man, Imiss my friend.
But, bitch, I take your lunchagain.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I'm like golly yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
But when I was listening to this, I always
thought the second album was thefirst album.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Because that's the beans that.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
I'm on that.
You got to, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
You see what I'm saying.
Come on now.
No, he ain't the OG, that's howhe is man.
I like the beans man, but B youcan tell the growth light from
the truth Because he.
Come on, bro.
It ain't no intro, it's juststraight into the hard shit.
Hey, nigga with the money, youknow what I'm saying?
That type of shit, bro.

(52:38):
I enjoy this, bro, and Iunderstand why people say, bro,
like I've never been huge on upnorth rap outside of like Rocky
and KRS, because that's what mydaddy grew up on, so I would
listen to that shit, becausethat's what my daddy grew up on.
That's what you had, yeah, butgoing back to this, I was like,
yeah, bro, I see what mymotherfucker be talking about.

(52:58):
He was holding it his own, orEclipse and Jay and Versus,
because he didn't do nothing.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
But get better and better bro.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Yeah, yeah, and if he don't stay on this wild shit
throughout his career and don'tget locked up?

Speaker 1 (53:13):
and come back to nothing.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Because I honestly feel like, even with the way
this nigga was moving and howthe rock was set up, bro, if he
didn't go to jail and he wasjust still rapping bro and
amidst the turmoil, he stillwould have found a way to be
that nigga, still bro, even fora year or two longer.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Because when he got out it was just like bro, you so
lost in the road I'm about tosay.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
he was just gone for a minute, so it's just different
now.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
And then everything changes Like hold on bro.
Now you wearing suits and shit.
Yeah, like what the fuck?
Yeah, bro, now you wearingsuits and shit Like what the
fuck, like you not fucking withthe home team?
Like and nigga you still on thesame shit?
You see what I'm saying.
It was like, bro, why the fuckyou didn't take this and mix
this?
You know what I'm saying.
And then now just to see himlike have another chance with

(54:07):
the AI shit To bring somethingelse.
Yeah, bro.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Because I can still give you my.
I could still give you what I'mgoing through.
I can give you my feelings.
I just didn't have the voice.
Yeah, now, if I can bring thatvoice back.
We back on listening to thisand you kind of touched on it,
paul.
But like he's better than Jayat times, like I know a lot of

(54:32):
people, they they was arguinglike did Beans keep up with him?
Or there's times he outshinedJay.
Like Beans is an aggressivelyrical Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
I'm sorry bro Because what's the name?
Is it On the Run with Jay-Z andBeyonce?
With Beyonce, yeah, have youactually listened to that verse?

Speaker 1 (54:59):
I mean, I ain't listened to it in a while.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
You know what I'm talking about right, yeah.
Niggas talk about motherfuckers, be like rapping, like Melly
Mel bro, have you listened tothat song?
Boy loves girl, girl loves me.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
But see, and that's why I to that song boy loves
girl, girl loves me.
But see, and that's why I hatethat song, Forever Young, the
way he rap on that fuckingForever Young song.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
You just.
I like versions of these people, bro.
I don't know, these people.
But like I only like theversion of Jay when he talking.
I don't know if he live thatlife or not, but he makes the
shit sound good when he talkingin street talk like that dope
talk.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
With that, 92 bricks and shit.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Come on, bro, what you talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But when he be like girl lovesboy, boy loves girl, I be like,
hey, bro, this shit, hey, leaveit to your wife.
This one didn't need you.
Yeah, and you can curse me bro.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
We'll never make it big again.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Come on, bro, but I'm still going to voice my opinion
.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Yeah, one song I did like a lot, well, two.
I mean, I like a lot of songson this, but hearing Memphis
Bleak and Benny Siegel do a backand forth, Go ahead, fucking
crazy.
But did he write that verse?
I don't know who wrote it.
They say Jay wrote all thisshit.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
That's what I'm saying.
That's why I brought it up.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
It sounds good, bleak brought up a good voice, but
it's already over with, it'sdone.
Hey, yo Bleak Hearing him goback and forth and then hearing
him go back and forth withScarface that shit.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
I don't think.
I don't think Niggas love totalk about how old school niggas
can't rap To this day, bro,because I didn't.
Scarface didn't grow on meuntil later on, bro, when I got
into high school bro.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
What you mean by that .

Speaker 2 (57:04):
My daddy listened to the nigga but I was like I don't
really like moms playing trickson me.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Dude, you ain't never listened to good old boys, or
shit.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Come on, bro.
When I was in high school, myblock came out.
You say you won't, because Ican say the same shit about the
movies.
You miss it.
But that's not what we're heretalking about.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
That's not what we're here talking about.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
I said back in the day I knew Smile, I wasn't one
of the niggas that go and grab aBrad Jordan album.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Brad Jordan's voice is so angelic.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Come on.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
I ain't say nothing about it, I'm just saying when
he rap his stories too, you justgo there.
There was always people.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
you older than me as well.
I'm like two years older thanyou, nigga, you had a big
brother.
I didn't have a big brother.
My big brother was my uncle,and that nigga was not into
music.
He was in ROTC.
He was trying to flyhelicopters bro.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Shout out to that nigga.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
That nigga like.
I go to a high school.
My uncle went to a high schoolwhere Backstreet and NSYNC was
the thing.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
I mean they had some hits.
I'm just telling you whatenvironment he was in, right, I
mean there's some hits.
I'm just telling you whatenvironment, what it was.

Speaker 2 (58:14):

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Remember them days.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Remember them days is terrible.
It's terrible.
No, it didn't stunt.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Yes, it is Cause it did not fit the album.
It did not.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
It's like they try to go happy and shit, but like
that's what I said, why are you?

Speaker 2 (59:10):
here.
And then what killed me was Iwas like okay, I just said, I
only knew the singles I heard.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
The next album I was like that's the one you thought
was yo yo, yo, yo yo yeah fuckthis shit.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying, that's what I'm
saying.
But when I heard it I said, ohno.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
He thought he needed this.
He thought he needed it.
It was a single, it was a happy.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
What did?
What did?
I didn't like it from both ofthem.
Yeah, it's like I don't give adamn about the good times in
your life.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Not when the rest of the album is talking about the
bad times in your life.
You when the rest of the albumis talking about the bad times
in your life.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
You just told me you a murderer, nigga, because he
murdered your home girl.
I don't care about you buyingbubble gum and double dutching.
Tell me more.
I've got the knife slinging.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Talk about that.
How was it being in jail?
Come on, bro.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Did you really sell your commissary, come?
On, bro, did you really sellyour commissary, come?

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
on bro, the Mac man song, which is a whole scheme.
First of all the beat is likePac-Man sample and then he go
through these whole schemes ofreally still talking through
life shit, but putting gametitles and character names in
through it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
That shit is wild man .
It reminded me of you everheard of 187 Proof by Spice One.
Shit is wild man.
It reminded me of you everheard of 187 Proof by Spice One.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
Mm-hmm, yeah, that's what it reminded me of yeah,
mm-hmm, and then Raw and Uncut.
I mean it got Jay-Z on it, it'scool.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
I can say this, bro Listening to it, I understand
why they did it Well.
I understand why they did itWell, I felt like I understood
why they did it.
I felt like this was his firstalbum and they was trying to do
what Diddy was trying to do withBiggie Put him on everybody's
shit to make them hot.
Yeah, you did Pop him off and Iwas like you really didn't need
it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
No, he didn't need it At all Beans did not.
He didn't need it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
You really didn't need it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
No, he didn't need it At all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Beans did not, he didn't need it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
And I guess Bing's character behind the scene kind
of slowed him down because hedid go through some shit, but
yes, a lot of he could havecarried this out.
I mean, you didn't need three Jfeatures, it's only two J
features.
And then that anything song,life is anything.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
That's Oliver and Company.
That's a good movie, it's amusical.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
I've never seen it.
Lisa, is that where that's from?
I know that scene, but I knowit from Family Guy.
That's it, yeah.
Overall, though, what do youthink about this album?

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
We go out of five right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
We go out of five.
Right, we go out of five.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
I gave it a three.
I give it a 4.5.
I gave it a three.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
I could listen to this shit and I have been
listening to it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
That shit, nigga that aggressive hard but that's also
your what's called too, thoughwhat that's your, that's your
rapper characteristics, bro.
Yeah, like your moves on DefJam Bendetta Aggression All the
way up 10.5.
It only go to 10.
For some reason, he got anextra five.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
I like that shit.
I like that.
I'm telling you once it startoff with the truth.
The first song, it's like it,just okay, we good.
I give it a 4.5 out of 5.
I gave it a 3.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Just because the Eve song, I felt like it was too
many Jay verses.
I felt like Jay was literallyjust trying to like man this
nigga too good bro, I got toinsert myself.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
I feel like that on some of the shit and then this
is just my thought process, ithas nothing to do with nothing
else.
But I also feel like that's why, jay, when they was in court
and they was like you ain'tgoing to take, and Jay's like
nah, you know, he got to handlehis own Because some people can
fuck he probably wouldn't havegot as big as in my brain I

(01:03:14):
think he could have got, but hecould have slowed down some
momentum from some other shit.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Bro Jay is calculated by now.
Everybody knows yeah, of course, of course he did that to his
own bro.
I give it a 4.5 out of 5.
Look what he did to DMX.
He told that man Prisonersrunning the yard B Did that man

(01:03:44):
just like this yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
Yeah, crazy how some niggas act when they, you know,
threatened at times Back againstthe wall.
Ashy knuckles, nah man.
