Speaker 1 (00:49):
All right, all right, ladies and gentlemen, um tnt
podcast we're back.
I know it's been a minute sincey'all've heard from us, but you
know this busy schedulestarting to get busier.
So, um, yeah, back.
So yeah, back at it.
Turn up Tanaka.
Yeah, a lot has gone on.
We got a lot of catching up todo.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Tanaka, how are you feeling?
A little exhausted, but it'sall good.
You know, I would say happy tobe healthy, but I got injured on
monday, so, um, I don't think Iknew that.
What, what happened on monday?
I pulled a muscle in myshoulder, so yeah, how did you
do that?
I don't know, yeah, it just, itjust uh.

(01:40):
Yeah, it just happened, bro,like it wasn't even no collision
or anything awkward.
I just, I don't know, probablyjust because I didn't stretch,
or I need to start stretchingbefore I skate.
I don't know, I think it was athing, it was a combination of

(02:00):
things.
I think it was because I took anap before the session and I
woke up out the nap and justwent skating and I think
normally when I skate I usuallyam up a little bit, so my body's
already active, you know.
And so, yeah, so dealing withthat injury, but, um, yeah,

(02:24):
other than that, doing good, Imean just busy, you know what
I'm saying.
Working everybody, just proudof Delinquents.
Really, we've been active outhere, working hard and doing a
lot of different things, and so,yeah, man, just trying to get
back to being more active on theshot by Sanago page, but, yeah,

(02:50):
I'm trying to figure out howexactly to return, um, so yeah,
it's, uh, I mean, it is a lot tojuggle.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Um, yeah, it's a lot going on, uh, djing, traveling,
getting around, well, I guess,with you Recording Late nights,
early mornings, type deal.
Um, yeah, yeah.
But, as we said, ladies andgentlemen, we got a lot of

(03:26):
catching up to do because, yeah,the last one we had was a
Greatest Hits episode and a lothas happened in between that
time, which I know I forgotabout because, well, I know
Tanaka forgot about, because Ilooked at the list of stuff that
we haven't talked about sincethen.
And I forgot about because,well, I know tanaka forgot about
, because I looked at the listof stuff that we haven't talked
about since then and I forgotabout it so um, and this first

(03:53):
one, this first topic, I'm notgonna lie, I feel like we did
talk about it, but I I don't.
I listened to the last episodeand I don't think I heard
anything.
I don't think I heard anythingof us talking about it.
But, um, cascade east?

(04:18):
Have we talked about cascadeeast at all?
I can't call it, bro.
We may have, we may not.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Um well, I mean I guess just to run it back.
At least I don't recall.
I don't recall that we have.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
You know what I'm saying so I guess, if we haven't
talked about it, what are yourthoughts on Cascade East, since
it's been open?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I think there was a lot of hype in the beginning,
obviously because of the name ofCascade.
Obviously because of the nameof Cascade, I feel like after
that first week, skaters werekind of underwhelmed by their
experience, just because thesound system wasn't all the way
in place and the lighting andeverything.
Just kind of the whole feellike Cascade has a certain

(04:59):
standard about themselves Forthat experience.
When they go in there thatfirst week to not be there, I
feel like they kind of leftunderwhelmed and kind of was
like you know, let's just goback to what we were doing
before, you know, and so um.

(05:20):
So I feel like that first weekthe sessions had a lot of people
but then after that, you knowit, it just died off.
And then cause I, when I talkedto the original staff of Planet
Skate, you know they weresaying that Saturday has always
been, like you know, the top topnight over there.
So being at his cascade, I guessyou know it added, it added to,

(05:45):
you know it was more so likethat was already going and then
like cascade, kind of likeamplified it just because of the
name, you know, right, so.
And then plus having a dj.
You know that they're not usedto that, so, yeah, but other
than that, um, personally I, Ifeel like they should have did

(06:05):
the renovations beforehand andthen made the announcement, just
so that it's not like they canstay excited.
You know what I mean.
I feel like now they're kind ofunderwhelmed, they're hesitant
to go out there because it'salready far away out there in

(06:25):
Carnage.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Is it ever?

Speaker 2 (06:27):
But I mean, you know things happen and all that.
So at this point I feel likethey should just try and have
folks forget about their firstexperience and then, like when
they do the grand opening andall that, hopefully you know
what I'm saying it will getpeople back on board type of

(06:48):
deal.
So I I'm not mad at how they'rekind of.
I feel like they're kind oflaying low right now.
You know I'm saying doing therenovations, getting that and I
don't know the last time you'vebeen there turn up, but they
definitely, you know, theydefinitely, like like last last
time I went, the speaker systemwas a lot better than the

(07:10):
initial time that I went there,right, yeah, no, I haven't been
there in some weeks.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I haven't been there in some weeks, probably about a
month, um, but uh, yeah, my, mybiggest issue with uh, cascade
east slash, planet skate, I'll,I'll call it.
I'll call it slash because,like you said, they're not
really done with the renovationsand most of that stuff in there
is because of planet skate.
But my biggest issue was the,was the?

(07:38):
I don't even know if it's plexi, but the glass.
The glass was my biggest issue,but it wasn't because it was
glass, it was just the fact thatit was glass and then, like
they had like a light that wassitting right in front of the
glass, so like it would glareoff the glass and I wouldn't be
able to see anything past thelight yeah, that glare was real
bad, bro, yeah real bad.

(08:00):
It was real bad to the pointthat, like, the only time I
could see is like when I did aslow set and it was like yeah,
it was.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
It was really weird and you know mr gray speaks so
much about how we're like thatasia.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
You know skate guard to make sure folks are safe, so
you know that glare waspreventing us from seeing the
floor for real right right, forsure, um, but yeah, uh, it's got
some work to do, but, um, it'sa work in progress for sure, um,
as far as I heard recently, uh,apparently the glass is down,

(08:38):
so I guess, I guess we'll see,we'll see, uh, we'll see how
this, how see where this ridetakes us.
Basically, alright, so let'ssee what we got next on my list
of shit that we haven't talkedabout.
So I did want to talk about ATLvs JB a little bit, but it's

(09:01):
more of a stay tuned, so wedon't have a date on it yet.
But shout out to um, skatehouse and skate mentality.
Uh, she said we gonna, um,collaborate on the next atl
versus jb.
She's gonna get some shirtsmade for the atl style and the
jb style and have folksrepresent like that.

(09:21):
So you know, shout out to her,shout out skate house, skate
mentality, um, next atl versusjb.
I will say this about atlversus jb it's very interesting
because it takes a lot of brainwork for atl versus jb, because
it's nothing, but mixing is alot of mixing.
It's not a lot of, I don't know.
It takes a lot of mixing toblend the two, two styles, and

(09:46):
yeah, it's a lot so, but it'ssomething different and I always
like different.
So shout out to atl versus jbbringing out something that not
necessarily I didn't know Ididn't have, but like just you
know something different.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Shout out to do, uh, do you?
Is there a lot of jb for that?
Pop out.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
I mean it's a mixture , okay, and it's honestly, it's
not necessarily JB, it's a lotof JB slash, snapper, slash,
that Cleveland jumping up andspinning.
I think it's called ClevelandFreestyle, I think that's what
it's called.
But yeah, shout out to that,shout out to Smyrna.

(10:29):
Like I said, I don't really getto do sparkles in Smyrna a lot,
but it's always a good vibe.
I always have a hard timetrying to figure out who these
other DJs are, because everytime I come back to sparkle
smyrna, it's always the samestory oh, turn up, you need to,
you need to.
You know, you gotta come withit, bro.

(10:50):
These djs, blah, blah, blah,yada, yada.
I'm like in my head I'm justthinking like, okay, so why are
y'all still like hiring thesedjs if, like, they're just not
doing such a good and it's thesame people over and over again?
So I'm like I don't know.
But shout out to smyrna.
I always have a good time whenI go to smyrna.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Um yeah, they.
Um.
I guess the feedback on thatwas that I guess they begin like
some older djs or something andthey just like I guess they're
not good, so it's just theyounger crowd that.
I don't even know, man, I don'tcause.

(11:29):
I feel like the folks that betalking to you is like older
right so I just I don't know.
I guess they just not qualityDJs and then they be trying to
bring folks from like out oftown, out of state and stuff.
So I guess, to bring folks fromlike out of town, out of state
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
So I guess dj tanaka coming soon sparkle smirno near
you, ladies and gentlemen, sowe're gonna move on to uh
straight out gco.
Uh, shout straight out gco, twofor two.
Because I remember we did talkabout Strat G Co last, uh, last
episode.
But it always amazed me thatlike G Co is able to bring its

(12:11):
own crowd and boy did it everthis last time and the reason
why I knew that it was able tobring his own crowd.
For the people that don't knowStrat G Co is, it's basically uh
, like a baby Saturday NightTrap fever and we have it at
Sparkles, gwinnett and you knowall the ATL style folks come out
and yeah, they come skate.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Start a whole new generation.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Basically is what it is.
And yeah, shout out to Chico.
And the reason why I knew itbrought its own crowd was
because at the end it was stillhella people in there, because
at the same time they'd behaving schools and stuff in
there as well.
But yeah, basically once theyall left it was just a whole

(12:54):
bunch of ATL-style skaters andyeah we had a good time.
Shout out to GCo, shout out to GCo and, I guess, shout out to
Cascade Sunday, because we gotjust passed.
We had the all white affair.

(13:16):
Tanaka, do you like to give you?
Well, hold on for the peoplethat don't know, so I give a
little backstory.
So what was supposed to happenwas it was supposed to be me
drip, shout out, dj, drip, djtanaka.
We were all supposed to dj umfor the all white affair,

(13:38):
downstairs, uh, for the skaters,but that wasn't able to happen.
So we, uh I, had to go upstairsin the marquise lounge and dj
tanaka and dj drip, djdownstairs.
So, tanaka, would you like togive some highlights,
non-highlights, ups, downs, left, rights of the night, um I mean

(14:02):
, I feel like it for the mostpart, went well.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
I just haven't DJed at Cascade West in so long so I
kind of forgot how to run thelight system, you know.
And then, yeah, craig washosting.
Shout out to Craig, shout outto craig.
But yeah, he just wasn't in thebooth.

(14:30):
So I don't know, I didn't.
He was the only one that hadthe mic so I couldn't really
interact.
You know, like get on the samepage in the sense I have to turn
chills, but it's all good, Ifeel like it worked out.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
I mean, it was a little awkward.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, especially when you started yelling at me.
It was just coincidence, youjust came in at the wrong time,
honestly.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Man, tanaka, came in.
He was like hey, bro, changethe lights.
I was like what color, bro, Idon't care bro, it don't matter.
You sure, you sure because itdon't I don't know, it's gonna
look real crazy.
I turn on rainbow and folksjust looking at me.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
You know man just put me on the spot.
But yeah, I mean, for the mostpart it was good.
Um, I agree, I already kind ofknew going into it I was gonna
do the slow sets and turn trios,because I know that Drip
doesn't really care for that.
I think this is actually.
Drip learned that he didn'trealize that me and you were the

(15:37):
only DJs that go and start fast, start fast and go slow.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
For the slow set he was caught off set.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
He was like caught off guard.
I was like nah bruh, like helike bruh.
I just started like 50something.
I'm like nah bruh, I don't lookman, me and Tarno, we do a
complete like.
We do a completely differentfor everybody else.
You know, we start fast and goslower.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
So, tanaka, let me ask you this, because I never
actually asked you this did youdo that like just on your own?

Speaker 2 (16:09):
yeah did I.
Okay, I've always, I've alwaysdone it.
I've never, I've never workedbackwards got you okay.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
See, I didn't know phil's the thing where, since I
was the one that kind of broughtyou into the skate world while
I was doing that even at a partylike uh back in college got you
yeah, it wasn't no, um, noinfluence, no got you, I just in
my mind it.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
I don't know it makes sense to me let's talk about it
.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
How's it?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I don't I don't like going faster, that doesn't make.
When I'm going faster, I'mthinking trains and trio.
You know what I'm saying.
Right like slow.
So I feel like it's opposite.
So I'm going.
But that's how.
That's how I look at it youknow.
So, um, same here.
Anyway, you know, that's just,that's my outlook on it.

(17:06):
Drip was over there, confused,you know, but I was like look
man, but yeah, I mean, for themost part I feel like the Riders
enjoy themselves.
I know there's a lot of Peanutbutters, yeah, a lot of peanut
butters, so it's probably moredifficult for them to maneuver

(17:27):
for real, but I don't know.
We didn't get as much praise,though, I feel like, as last
time, so I don't know if that'sa sign.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
I mean, it could just be well.
One or two things, probablybecause they were looking
forward to all three of us,maybe.
Or the other thing is like theyjust may just be getting used
to us yeah, I don't know, Idon't know, man, I don't know
y'all be parking like y'all beparking like pimping too.
Afterwards did anybody sayanything to y'all like um, not

(18:07):
that.
I really recall none because,well, because I know um karina,
like shout out to karina, likethe days that um, drip would do
like drip, uh, karina would belike I ain't gonna lie, drip,
you're kind of slacking tonight,I ain't gonna lie, like she
would tell them that yeah and Iand I'd be like, oh shit, that's
crazy.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
But um, I mean, so I don't know, it's just so funny
how drip is so fed up withskateboarding this place, says
the person that's doing thebiggest skate night in georgia
yeah, but you know, um, make it,make it, yeah, I don't know.

(18:50):
I mean, uh, well, the the onlycriticism I did was see, I guess
my slow set was a little.
My second slow set, I think itwas a little, I guess, different
, but I ain't gonna lie, I'lladmit to that.

(19:10):
The second one you took alittle bit more risk.
It wasn't even that, it wasjust like it wasn't.
It didn't flow as well as Iwanted it to, I feel like my
transition wise, not even.
It's just more song choice.
You know what I'm saying likesong choice and all that.
Like I didn't really.
Oh you, I had a better idea ofwhere I wanted to go on the

(19:31):
first low set as opposed to thesecond one, and then on the
second one, like it was kind oflike you know, it was still good
, but it was just like I, I feellike it could have been tighter
.
Right, compared to the firstone, but, um, I mean then,
especially after, like the oneback in july when it was all

(19:56):
three of us, you know, like Iwas locked in for real.
So, right, you know, um, but Idon't know.
At At the same time, I like totake risks.
I took a risk.
I played a Jeremiah song that Inever played before.
So I know folks didn't knowthat record, but um, well, as

(20:19):
long as you ain't had a lady.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
That lady coming up to you again Well, not again,
but that lady coming up to theDJ booth again, but that lady
coming up to the dj booth.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, ain't, nobody came up.
Nothing crazy, nothing likethat.
Um, yeah, I mean, I think myfavorite part was probably the
um, trains and trills.
You said trains and trills,yeah, yeah, that's always.
Uh, I don't know what it is,but it's something about cascade
trains and trills that I just Ilook forward to that, you know,

(20:49):
I mean, it's just hella peopleon the floor just moving really
fast yeah but I don't know.
So I'll ask you Do you feellike there's a difference
between, like Sparkle and Niche?
You know well.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Well, they're originally a jamscape 's what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
So I feel like there's a difference, you know
there's obviously a differencebetween jamscating and trains
and trios.
Yeah, so it's like anyway, Idon't know, I guess I just get
more excited for it in traintrios, you know I mean, uh, yeah
, I don't think that's notreally a, it's not really a
comparison.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Compare, I mean comparing trains and trios to
jamskate, because jamskate ismore of a solo solo thing trains
, trios.
You're making trains and trios,so what would you say?
The difference is besides that,besides the lining up and all
that I mean, I guess, if we'renot talking about that, then the

(21:52):
music maybe but?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
but do you feel like there's a significant difference
in the music or?

Speaker 1 (22:01):
um, you could play more for the jam skaters than
trains and trios.
Yeah, because all the stuff youcould play for um trains and
trios you can well.
No, no, I lied, it differs.
No, it differs because jamskaters don't really much care

(22:21):
for like like I don't know, theBaltimore club music but at the
same time like, so, like thosekind of remixes, but like trains
and trills.
Folks don't really care for thecheesy pop music.
It just depends, I don't know,it just depends from my
perspective, that's how I see it.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, no, I would agree with you.
I feel like, yeah, I feel liketraining trails, you gotta kind
of come with that.
You know that hard, that hardjoint.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
You know what I'm saying yeah, but at the same
time you can throw in some ofthat baltimore shit, whatever
that.
That, um, you know, bringingthe cats and all that.
Yeah, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
So yeah, man, it was.
I think what I also enjoy aboutthat is the fact that we could
like really pay tribute to likeAtlanta bass music.
You know, right, paid tributeto like Atlanta bass music, you
know.
So, just like, I kind of likeenjoy that aspect of it cause I
feel like Cascade, like realAtlanta, you know, and so I feel

(23:34):
like you know, whenever I do dothe church, that's my time to
pay respect to Atlanta for reallike stuff that folk may not
know, but I don't really care,you know what I'm saying, cause
I know what it's honoring andpaying tribute to.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Is that what the trains and trios is cascade for?
Is that what it's for?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well, that's how I look at it, you know what I'm
saying Just being that cascadeis like real West side Atlanta
and all that just like real westside atlanta and all that.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
I just be feeling like every time I dj there I
gotta play like some of theunderground.
Yeah, like you know, just putthem on.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
You know, saying that that your parents was.
You know that they were raisedon, that they used to party soon
and, um, yeah, I don't know,it's kind of like that's that's
how I'd be looking for mepersonally, that's how I always
tribute it, and I feel like youdo the same thing in the same,
because you play that.
Um, my baby daddy, what's that?

(24:35):
Boots, oh, rain boots, rainboots.
You know what I'm saying yeahand so it's like stuff like that
.
That's like stuff.
Unless you was was in Atlanta,you wouldn't know about that.
Yeah, for sure, that's what I'msaying.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
So shout out to DJ Youngster for putting me on.
Shout out to.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Youngster you did so.
It's like it's stuff like that,though you know what I'm saying
.
You can play songs like thatbecause it's paying tribute to
Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
So yeah, shout out to Youngster for that one.

Um, but yeah, so um.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
I got well, but yeah, before we get to the question
of the day, um yeah, go ahead myroommate had a, had a theory
turn up so I was interested.
Now it makes sense.
So bailout.
Monday you was over there onthe mic saying talking about
Kendrick Lamar.
What exactly was the commentsyou were making about Kendrick

(26:09):
Lamar?

Speaker 1 (26:13):
I definitely forgot about that.
Shout out to Kendrick Are wereferring to the Super Bowl?
Yeah, okay, yes.
So for the people that don'tknow, kendrick Lamar is
supposedly doing the notsupposedly Kendrick Lamar is
doing the Super Bowl halftimeshow for this next Super Bowl.
I can't wait to hear thistheory.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Because I know it's coming from one and only so.
I didn't.
I was unaware as to what youwere talking about because I
didn't know so you didn't know,I didn't know about the super
bowl, oh right, so I didn't youknow what I'm saying.
I thought you was just liketrolling type joint.
Oh no, I was like you was.
You was definitely trolling,but there was a reason for why

(26:58):
you didn't know.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
You didn't know what the joke was, yeah, that's what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
So I was over that loss.
But, um, so my roommate, myroommate, I talked to him and he
was like he was saying how, um,you know, asking me about that,
and I was like, oh no, I didn'tknow anything about it.

(27:22):
He's like bro quit playing.
I was like I really no, Ididn't know anything about it.
He's like bro quit playing.
I was like I really didn't, Ihaven't heard about this.
But now it makes a lot of sense, because Turnip was talking
about something about Kendrick,you know, at Bell out Monday.
So I was, you know, now piecesis coming together or whatever,
and so he's like, I guess theSuper Bowl's in New Orleans.

(27:48):
And so he was saying how Waynewanted to do it, but they chose
Kendrick and apparently Jay-Zwas in charge of selecting who's
supposed to perform at theSuper Bowl, or something like
that.
So I heard about that.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
So I heard yeah, I heard about that.
I heard rock nation is like theapparently yeah, but I don't
know that.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
I'm not.
I haven't checked those sourcesbecause there's people saying
that like jay-z's not in chargeof selecting, like rock nation
is, but he's not, you know whatI'm saying so, conversation ends
.
Cool, right, I go on to TikTok.
And my roommate had posted toTikTok about his theory about

(28:32):
the Super Bowl Beautiful.
So his theory is that Kendrickis going to perform you know
what I'm saying do a couplesongs, then he's going to do Not
Like Us.
Obviously he has to do not likeus, but midway through, not
like us.
J cole and drake are gonnaperform first person shooter.

(28:53):
Kendrick's gonna perform hisunreleased verse on first person
shooter pause.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Didn't know, he had an unreleased verse or first
person shooter.
Oh, did he tell.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Oh, oh, so this is you're just telling me
everything that's been said onthis video, okay so then he said
they're all gonna collaborateand then they're gonna bring
wayne out and he's gonna finishthe show and everybody's gonna
win and they're going to squashthe beef between Rock Nation,
Cash Money, Young Money and TopDog.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Top Dog, yeah, top Dog.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
And you know, all parties involved, basically, and
everybody wins and hip hop winsand the beef is over.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Well, ok.
So See, I don't, I don't getinto, because it's funny.
This sounds like.
This sounds like us talkingabout wrestling, like it's like
like, oh yeah, so, since he hasthis storyline going on, this is
gonna happen and this is gonnalead to wrestlemania, and then
that's gonna lead to him winningthe title.
Then he's gonna lose the titletoday.

(30:00):
I'm not gonna lie.
I kind of don't like like Idon't kind of like spoilers like
that.
Like I mean I could predict allday and night in my head, but
like I just don't.
If that does happen, I wouldlove it, I would love it, I
would love every single part ofthat right.
So if that's the case, I hopeit happens.
I'll just say that do I see ithappening?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
no, but I was to ask you, turner, what is the
percentage that you think thatwill happen?

Speaker 1 (30:39):
30, I feel it, I mean , but at the same time I mean I
don't know.
Yeah, that's an interesting one, cause I'm pretty sure he has
some evidence to back him up onthat.
I have no evidence to say that.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
You know that's true, or not true or anything like
that.
I didn't even know Kendrick wasdoing the Super Bowl, so this
is all brand new to me right?
Yeah, no, I was definitely.
I didn't even know Kendrick wasdoing the Super Bowl, so this
is all brand new to me.
Right.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah, no, I was definitely.
Yeah, that was no, that wasdefinitely what I was trolling
DJ Rain about, right?
So yeah, she was heavilysurprised, just like you were,
sir.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
So that's his theory.
Someone caught someonecommented on the post and they
said and then I woke up.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Basically, that definitely sounds like one of
those.
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, that'sthat's.
That's a lot.
So.
So, yes, that's that's a lot togo on, but I mean, hey, I
wouldn't be mad at that at all,like I would love.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
I would love to do, I would love to hear something
like that, for sure yeah but umso, all right, that that takes

(32:15):
us to the uh question of the day, and the question of the day is
, unfortunately, um, we had apassing in hip-hop I'm sorry,
tanaka, i'ma just.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
I'ma pause you for a second because there was
actually there was something Idid want to talk about before
then, but since you told me thatrich homie kwan was the um was
the topic, I just left it.
I just left it and I was justgonna leave it for the question
of the day, because I don'tactually know what your question
of the day is.
But if we're acknowledging richhomie, we also have to

(32:49):
acknowledge a lot of otherpeople.
Oh yeah, because there's a lotof other people that we did not
get to talk about, and thereactually was a passing today.
I don't, I don't know if youknow this or not, so not, at all
so yeah, um, so I don't know.
Like I said, I don't know whatthe question of the day is, but
we do have to acknowledge um bking passed away.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Oh, dang, yeah, yeah b king.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Uh, fat man scoop um james earl jones.
I don't know if you know whojames earl jones is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So um, james earl jones, and asa, as a time people will come
right, oh, maybe I don't know he.
I just know he was the.
Uh, he was a voice actor formufasa and lion king.
Yeah, yeah, older guy, heplayed the king on coming to

(33:37):
america uh, yeah, eddie murphy's, I think he was in field of
dreams, probably.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm runningout real big movies, but um, but
yeah.
So, as the time of us recordingum Frankie Beverly's passed
away, oh man.
So yeah, um, but yeah, oh uh,rich Homie Kwan.

(33:59):
Rich Homie Kwan as well.
So I don't know if I said RichHomie Kwan but Frankie Beverly
yeah 77, yeah, so um what wasyour?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
um question of the day or what was the question of
the day?
Well, my question of the day,man, was just what was it about
rich homie that you felt likestuck out?
You know saying about him, youknow that made him different
from, like these, uh, the sea ofartists that we listen to, um

(34:35):
I'm gonna let you start that offbecause I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Uh, my, my answer is going to be a little different
and so okay.
So, since we're saying thatabout rich homie is are we do we
answer that about all the other?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
I mean not james earl jones, because the actor, but
you know yeah, yeah okay, okay,we'll go, we'll do that, okay,
so, um, I'll let you, I'll letyou answer first, because you're
, you're, uh, yeah so I mean,obviously with Rich Homie, like
there was definite comparisonswhen he came out, that he was

(35:09):
like future, basically likeanother future and kind of
biting off a future sound, right, and there was a point in which
people's ears weren't in tuneso that they thought they were
the same person, like when theyheard the song.
But the more that people got intune with Rich Homie, I found

(35:32):
out about Rich Homie Kwanthrough XXL because they had a
top 15 of, like Atlanta, artiststhat are on the come up and he
was on that list.
So I checked out all of theseartists and the first record I
heard from him Was Differences.
And when I heard the record,honestly I kind of laughed at it

(35:58):
Because when I was listening toit I heard the ad-libs and he's
like he was the first personthat I ever heard that had
ad-libs like that, like Jeezyhad ad-libs like ayy and yeah
and like all that.
But like I don't know, hisjoint was almost like we always

(36:24):
speak about how in hip-hop, howimportant the hype man was, you
know, to a performance, but in asense Rich Homie like he was
his own hype man with thead-libs, you know, and that
joint used to crack me up.
But then the more I listened toit like, the more it, like it
just became catchy and, like youknow what I'm saying, added

(36:46):
more energy to the record, andso that's one thing that I think
about in terms of um.
Just, I had never heard anybodyelse do that at that time.
You know Um, obviously we heardyou know Waka Flocka, like with

(37:08):
the.
You know um, obviously we heardyou know waka flaka, like with
the.
You know pow pow, pow, gunshots, stuff like that.
I feel like there was otherfolks that did that, but, like
rich homie, it was almost likehe was talking to himself yeah,
I was gonna say I feel like wakaflaka was more on the cheesy
side, just sound effects and oneword type deals, but yeah and
that's why rich homie was sodifferent, because he was just

(37:29):
like you know.
It's almost like he's cheeringhimself on like let go, let go.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
You know what I'm saying and all that.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
so that's one thing that I would say, and then, as
well as the fact that he wasrapping, but then it was also,
um, I remember reading anarticle that spoke on just like
young thug and future, and richhomie and how, and even migos to

(38:01):
an extent, how they were justthis new age of, because we
obviously had come to this pointwhere R&B and hip hop had
blended together, you know, andthe old formula of hip hop
artists having an R&B singersing the hook was no longer

(38:22):
existing.
You know, we had the auto-tuneera, you know, but this was,
this was post auto-tune era, andthe fact that, um, these
rappers were rapping, but thenalso like singing, as if their

(38:43):
heart was on their sleeve,almost in these records, and so
I feel like Rich Homie wasdefinitely one of the forefronts
is to you know the people thatthat kind of led that movement,

(39:04):
know the people that that kindof led that movement?
And I feel like the influenceis evident in a lot of artists
today.
You know, um, as far as likethe, the music that we listen,
like the new music that's comingout of this generation, so I
feel like those, those arereally the attributes that Rich
Homie had, I will say I feellike he only had one, like I

(39:39):
really feel like he's only hadOne bad project, one or two bad
projects.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
I know one.
What was the second one, the?

Speaker 2 (39:48):
second one was the album for the album, but I don't
know if that's reallyconsidered a project like that.
It kind of went under the radar.
It came out after.
You know, ask Royal Rich.
You know, oh, yeah, so, but heeven admitted to it about.
About that whole situation isthat he was you know, I was he

(40:11):
was addicted to molly for twoyears to the point that like he
was popping a molly before heeven brushed his teeth, like it
was that bad, and so that's.
He was saying that that wasaround the time that he came out
with that that project, yeah,and you know, saying, obviously

(40:31):
he on top of the world with flex, because that was going crazy,
but he was basically spiralingout of control.
You know, at that point, whenwas he ever Now, when we speak
on just how he came back?

(40:51):
After that, I know thespotlight wasn't on him anymore.
You know, like, obviously hiphop is a very fickle, you know,
genre.
So basically, once you fall off, it is extremely hard to get
that flame back, you know, andthat's what yeah, you basically

(41:14):
have to get it back real quickbefore it completely yeah.
And that's why I talked to BigSteveve about you know, big
steve is just, he would alwaystell me, just like bro, once the
wave is gone, bro, it's gone,you know, and and once you fall
off, and not not in it, somebodygonna take your spot or a new
sound gonna develop and you just, you know, a relic of those

(41:36):
years, basically know.
So I will say he came out withstrong bodies of work after that
.
But I will say, only rich homiefans, you know, knew about it.
I wouldn't say that.
You know, the whole world wastuned in like that for real,
right.
But so yeah, that's, uh, that'smy main statement.

(42:03):
I would say, um, yeah, it's,it's frustrating because,
honestly, what?
What?
Rich on me and trouble, thoseare like my two, those are my
two favorites from Atlanta, andso for them to pass around the

(42:25):
same age, I think, or maybe thesame age for them to pass at
that age is crazy.
Because, from what I understandabout Trouble, he was in a very
good place at that time, likethrough all the trials and
tribulations that he wentthrough, he was in a very good
place at like at that time, likethrough all the trials and
tribulations that he had wentthrough.
He was in a good spot, like hehad just bought his parents a

(42:47):
new house and all that and Ifeel like was really happy.
Apparently, rich homie was inthe same space.
He was still partying, you know, saying obviously which, which
unfortunately led to his death,but he was in a good space in

(43:09):
terms of with his family andlike his children and, um, you
know, he just sounded happy.
You know I missed all the labeltroubles that he had to deal
with and all of that before.
So it's just unfortunate thatonce they found that happiness

(43:31):
you know that's when they had toleave.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Right, not gonna lie Wasn't the biggest Rich Homie
fan.
I mean, there were a couplesongs that stood out to me and,
just like you, differences wasthe first song I heard from him.
I didn't really think much ofthe song, but I do remember the

(44:00):
impact it had.
Once I was doing partiesbecause this was I was probably
like three or four years intodjing I had while I was in
atlanta at that point and um,yeah, it hit the um.
I don't know if it hit theradio, but I know it hit.
Uh, it hit the clubs, hit theclubs and the parties real hard.
And I I was like, yeah, I needto find this song.

(44:24):
I need to find this songbecause this joint is impacting
me, well, impacted the partiesreal crazy.
And I'm not going to lie, I wasa part of that crowd of people.
I was like, bro, he just soundslike a baby future, like,
that's what he sounds like to me.
Is that he just sounds like ababy future?
That's what he sounds like tome is that he just sounds like a
baby future.
But the only thing I could sayabout Rich Homie is that he was.

(44:47):
What makes him stand out overall the artists to me isn't
necessarily his music, it's justthat okay.
So that situation you rememberthat situation that we recorded
um episode seven, the and that'smy rich homie kwan story yeah,
that's what makes him stand outto me was the fact that my

(45:09):
stepfather told me about thisperson, right, and was like,
yeah, he got this, he got thatand, you know, got this.
And I was looking for this songfor so long, looking for these
songs for so long, finally foundit.
And once I found it, I see thathis CD is sitting right there
on the counter and I looked atit and I'm like there's no

(45:30):
fucking way, this was Rich HomieQuan sitting here the whole
time.
And then I will say this onething about me I may have my
opinions on something, but Iwon't never be a hater.
That may have my opinions onsomething, but I'll, I won't, I
won't never be a hater.
That's how you make your money,bro.
Shine, shine is shine as brightas the star will.
Let you type shit.
So once he um made it to the,it was either the BET awards or

(45:54):
the hip hop awards and he hadperformed.
I was like hey, early, you know, like that's the guy that sold
you the um cd at the mall and hewas like, wow, that's dope.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
So, yeah, that that's what makes, that's what makes
rich homie stand out to me, thefact that he put in the grind,
when he was you know nothing,and made it into something, yeah
so yeah, yeah, it wasinteresting to hear him talk
about that because he was sayinghow, when he got out of jail,

(46:30):
like he was so hungry, you know,and that was evident on his
first you know a few projects,and so after you know he left
the spotlight, he had torediscover how to get that
hunger back, because obviouslyit's not going to be the same,
because he has money now youknow, it's not like he could

(46:51):
just go back to the mall.
Just that's what I'm saying,yeah so he had to really take a
step back and kind of think ofhow to not necessarily just find
a different type of hunger and,and I feel like that was
reflected in his music, right,you know, it was obviously it's

(47:12):
not, as you know, uh,pain-stricken, but I would say a
little more polished, and it'sjust unfortunate because I feel
like he was, he was starting todevelop into a new sound.
You know, that's a more mature,mature Kwan, you know.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
But yeah, man well, yeah, lonely Rich Homie, yeah,
and if you want to hear the fullstory, if you want to hear the
full story on the rich homiekwan um situation that I had,
you can either.
So you can either go to the um,episode seven, which is called,

(47:57):
and that's my Rich Homie KwanStory, or you can go on our
Instagram page, the TNT podcast,thetntpodcast, and it's the
most recent post.
It's just been posted on therein tribute to Rich Homie Kwan.
Yeah, so, yeah.

(48:19):
So, tanaka, let me ask you thiswhat's your, uh, what's your
thoughts on um?
What was your first, or your, Iguess?
I guess?
The same question, I guess,just for B King, I guess.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
I want to say the first record I heard from B King
was, I think, thick.
Is that a song?
I mean, it's a song, yeah, whatis it?

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Well, he's featured.
It's DJ Cho's.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, though what was that?
I don't know.
What was your first?

Speaker 1 (48:55):
So my first time hearing B King Okay, let me see
if I can find a year on this,because here's the thing, right,
there was a time I felt likeand maybe this is just because I
was a DJ at the time but therewas a time like a year that I
feel like everybody in a mamawas coming out with a twerk song
and like it was like I couldn'ttell who, I couldn't tell who

(49:17):
was popular or who was whowasn't, and it was just like I
don't know, it was just reallyweird.
So, like at first, at first bking kind of fell into that like
he fell into that like type ofdeal where it was like I
couldn't tell.
I couldn't tell, like if he waslike well, obviously you
couldn't because he's like justcoming up, but okay, yeah, 2015

(49:41):
soundbar, oh damn.
That was the first time I heardb king.
Okay, he had a song called umthrow that ass and I was like
okay, so I had the song and Iwould play it sometimes, but
like it was just kind of like Imean it's cool, but then I
started realizing that, like,people actually do fuck with the

(50:03):
song.
So like I was like, okay, itwas one of those where I was
like okay, well, I guess, if Ihave to play it, like they fuck
with it, so I guess I'll play it.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
But I will say that yes when um well, the question
is how did you even get thatsong?

Speaker 1 (50:20):
um, it was.
I feel like it was a so beforeI got a record pool.
It was a um, it was a websitethat djs used to have called dj
service pack and I feel like itwas on.
I feel like it was on thatwebsite and it was, yeah, and
that was just one of the songsthat I had, because, bro, there
were hella twerk songs, like Isaid, that were coming out

(50:40):
around that time, um, and thatwas just one of them and I had
it and, honestly and truthfully,I don't think I ever played it.
I mean, I probably played itlike once or twice, but then I
seen the impact that it like hadon like parties and shit, and I
was like, oh shit, like Ishould probably start playing
this again because they fuckwith it.
But I probably will say thefirst time that I like started

(51:08):
paying attention to B King.
I feel like it was thick, but Ifeel like there was something
in between that I don't knowwhat it was.
I'm gonna see if I can see, ifI can find it for.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
B King.
Yeah, I'm gonna see if I cansee if.
I can find it for B King.
Yeah, yeah, thick was.
I think Thick was myintroduction to B King and I
just remember how catchy hispart was and everybody was
rocking with it, you know.
And then I feel like shortlyafter, that is when just more

(51:41):
and more B King records becamehits as far as his influence and
just what was different abouthim.
I feel like he had a prettydistinct voice, man, you know,

(52:04):
like for sure, yeah, and I feellike because of that, uh, it's,
it's funny, because as DJs wealways speak on like how women
want to be directed in the song,you know, and like he was like
basically the epitome of that.

(52:25):
You know, like every record waslike you know him, like really
talking it and it's like beingthat he was a dj, like he knows,
you know how folks want to bein the club.
He was a dj too yeah, I think hewas a dj before he got into
actually making songs and stuff,and so yeah, so it's just he

(52:53):
had that background and then hestarted rapping and really he
stuck out too, because he wouldalways wear them crazy shirts.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
And it was funny.
That was interesting about thattoo was because it would look
like he would be wearing thesame thing over and over,
because he would always wear theall black.
He was always all black andthen have the raunchy, whatever
the fuck you know, mom pleaseror some shit like that, I don't
know Some crazy shit like that.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Your girlfriend gave me your mixtape and it was trash
.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Yeah, it would be like some jokey shit like that.
So B King definitely had asense of humor.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
It was always something stupid.
So, yeah, I think that's whatthat's the beauty of that, right
.
Okay, so I did discover.
So I think that's what that'sthe that's the beauty of that
Right.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
So okay, so I did discover, so that he was doing
stuff In between Throw that Assand Thick.
So I remember he did come outWith songs with K Stylus Do you
remember that name?
Yeah, yeah, so like I rememberhe was coming out With.
He was just coming out Withsongs Like, but it didn't really
hit on nothing, I feel likeuntil thick, but for sure throw

(54:01):
that ass was like holding himuntil thick and then that's when
, um, because I think he's aproducer too, isn't he?

Speaker 2 (54:08):
yeah, because he don't want to do the dude.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Yeah, I feel like that's what made him stand out
too.
He didn't actually have like a,like a b king, it was like it
was a sound.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
it was a sound.
Yeah, it was a sound.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
So yeah, I think that was pretty dope too.
Um, and what's interesting,it's funny, I remember it's not,
it's a lot of songs, but I feellike, at the same time, it's
not a lot of songs that I feellike I remember where I was when
I discovered this song, orsomebody told me about this song
.
Um, I don't remember feels.
Yes, it was um, um, it was atrumors.

(54:43):
Shout out to uh, shout out torumors.
Um, this is when I, this iswhen tonic used to dj at rumors.
Um, alvin ac, shout out to ac.
He actually played thick and Iwas like, bro, what is this?
This is before it like gotpopping.
And he was like, oh, it'scalled thick because what, what?
Uh, that is the one aboutB-King is that he'll have a way

(55:04):
of saying something, and that'llbe like.
I'll be like, wow, that'sactually pretty clever, cause
she a fool on that.
And I just thought that waslike the most cleverest shit
ever.
I was like, wow, I need thissong, this song is fucking
hilarious.
I was like, wow, I need thissong, this song is fucking

(55:24):
hilarious.
And then I remember after that,um, he had told me about, um, he
was like, oh, yeah, bro you,you like, yeah, thick, thick is
cool, but, bro, you got to gethis other song come, I mean then
leave.
And I was like, oh shit.
And then I heard it and I waslike, ah yeah, that's yeah.
And what's actually ironicabout that was after I got off
the phone with AC and he told meabout that.
I got on the phone with Kool andI was shout out DJ Kool.

(55:46):
And I was telling him becauseof course, kool's question is
always oh yeah, what was thatnew?
Some songs you listen to bro.
And I was like, yeah, well, acjust told me about this song
called um then leave, by b king.
He was, oh yeah, brother, thatjoint, that's my killing the
radio right now.
Man, I gotta get that song, yougot that song, you got this, I

(56:07):
need that song.
And I was like, um, yeah, Ithink I got it.
And so so, yeah, that um.
Yeah, bruh b king definitelyhad that call and response on on
lock for sure, because that ifyour pussy cream, if your pussy
clean, then scream like getsthem every time yeah, that's um.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
So that's the beauty of it is that because folks you
know that they like man herapped about the same stuff
every time, but the beauty of itand the genius of it is that
he's still able to make itcatchy and like, say it in so
many different ways, even thoughhe's talking about the same
type of stuff every time.
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
You were talking about somebody, about that,
somebody that did something likethat yeah, I can't even call
but they were able to say theexact same thing over again.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
But like, still make hits or something, yeah, and
that's a talent in itself, youknow, and um, I just think the
beauty of it is that, eventhough the stuff is like hella
raunchy, it's like hispersonality kind of like offset
it in a sense, because he was sofunny and just like

(57:22):
entertaining, so it like I feellike it kind of know like how
offensive it could come across.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
So but just like Chris Rock said in his little
stand up, bro, females lovebeing disrespected in these
songs.
Well, I don't know if that'swhat Chris Rock said, but I
remember put a dick in the ear.
Dick in the ear, fucking in theeyes.
It's like they all say the samething.
He ain't talking about me, sothat's just funny.
But, um, but, yeah, bro, beking.
Definitely, and was actuallyinteresting.
This is around the time where,uh, we didn't have dj drip, we

(57:57):
had drip king and I was telling.
I was like hey, bro, you shouldcome out with a twerk tape and
like, what you got to do is Ipromise you, bro, you just need
two things you need to bedisrespectful as fuck and give
them some instructions.
Females love both of them.
Shits and yeah.
And I think that's how Scammerwas made.

(58:17):
Shout out to Scammer.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
That's interesting, though, because I wonder if
there's a similar formula forgangster music.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
Probably All you need is this and this and you're in
there.
Probably it probably is.
Yeah man, long live B King.
I'm not gonna lie, uh, fat manscoop was kind of before my time

(58:47):
.
I mean, I don't really know alot about fat man scoop.
Uh, I mean, of course I know ofthe um.
I will say this that this iswhat intrigued me about fat man
scoop and maybe this informationis out there for me to see, but
I just haven't looked for it.
But it always intrigued me ofhow he was able to get the uh
clearance to love like this, toput out that uh, that um remix

(59:11):
he does.
If you put your hands up andmake noise, cause that's
obviously love like this.
And he just just screamed allover it what's your zodiac sign?
I never understood that.
I never understood how he wasable to to do that.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
But um, yeah, no, he um.
Yeah, he.
He was on a lot of remixessurprisingly, um.
There's a, there's a.
There's a version of uh, getbusy, that he's on sean paul's
on yeah, oh, didn't know thatand, um, yeah, it just, uh, it's

(59:52):
just in.
It's.
I feel like there's a wholebunch of because, you know, back
in back in that day they wasreleasing a whole bunch of like
I feel like remixes, just assingles or as 12-inches.
You know that wasn't on albumsand stuff, and it was kind of
like you had to know, like youhad to be out there during that

(01:00:14):
time to really know about thoserecords, or like DJs would only
know about those Right records,or like djs would only know
about those right, and so, um,but yeah, man, that's like just
a legendary hype man right there, you know, fat man, scoop man.
This is that's.
Uh, once again, another onewith a very distinct voice very

(01:00:40):
much so you know, and reallyenergized, whatever record he
was on you know.
Um, yeah, it's crazy.
They say he died of a heartattack and then it was on stage,
it was on stage yeah, I'massuming you've never seen it.
Yeah, I haven't seen.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Yeah, I yeah I, I didn't want to see it.
I usually don't.
I don't like watching shit likethat.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Honestly, I didn't know what the fuck I was
watching, and I saw it and I waslike mother, I don't know.
I guess at the same time,though, he died doing what he
loved, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
Yeah, is that what they call a catch-22, or is that
, or is that something different?

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
yeah, is that what you say?

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
that yeah in a sense yeah, so yeah, man, long live
fat man scoop.
Uh, and I think the last onewas I feel like I'm missing
somebody, but I'll make sure I'mnot missing anybody, okay, yeah
, so the last one was.
Frankie Beverly.
So I know you probably won'thave a lot to say about Frankie

(01:01:46):
Beverly, but I mean, obviouslythis was all before both of our
times.
But one distinct thing aboutFrankie Beverly was my
grandfather.
That was definitely his time ofmusic and anytime we'd be
riding with him anywhere, likeit would either be James Brown,

(01:02:08):
gladys Knight, um, frankieBeverly or somebody somebody
else, but those only those onlythree.
That like, really like stoodout to me, especially James
Brown.
I used to love James Brown but,um, stood out to me especially
james brown.
I used to love james brown butum, yeah, man, frankie beverly
just had that music that like Iwas able to pick back up when I
was older and be like, like,just appreciate the music of it,

(01:02:33):
like equivalent to I mean notequivalent to, but prime example
um, golden time of day like ofcourse we hear Before I Let Go
all the time that gets all thecookouts and stuff started and
all that stuff.
But yeah, bro, that Golden Timeof Day.
I totally forgot about that song.

(01:02:53):
And what's actually interestingabout Frankie Beverly and Maze?
There's actually another songthat I forgot about, called when
I'm Alone, because a lot ofthese songs I never knew the
names of them, because these areall on CDs and my grandfather's
just playing it.
He's just playing it in his car.
So, yeah, man, he wasperforming shit.

(01:03:13):
I feel like he was stillperforming and I think they say
he was like 77.
So, yeah man, lonely FrankieBeverly man, another one that
went out doing what he loveddoing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Yeah no, definitely I don't know my bag Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
Oh, and I think that was all I had to say.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Yeah, no, I just think back the first time I
heard Frankie Beverly.
It was my college classmate,candace she.
She had played it for mebecause I didn't really know
about it, but her whole familyreally rocked with Frankie
Beverly and Maze.
So she kind of put me on tothem.

(01:03:56):
And then I did some homeworkand I realized that that girl,
that song in ACL, was themSouthern Girl when they had the
pool.
I didn't you know.
So I did more research.
I was like, oh so that'sFrankie Beverly May.

(01:04:17):
And then just what you knowobviously everybody know before
I let go, but I think you werethe one that actually put me on
to this song.
Good Feelings, oh, you meanHappy Feelings.
Happy Feelings, my bad HappyFeelings.
I mean probably you know, Idon't know, anyway, that's just

(01:04:40):
one of my favorite.
Know, I don't know, anyway,that's just one of my favorite
records.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Yeah, I don't know when I started realizing that
they started playing before Ilet go in the club.
But I ain't going to lie.
When I first heard like when Ifirst because I ain't going to
lie At first I mean, after awhile it's kind of like the
normal.
Now it's like the norm, likeevery old school set is gonna
have four late.
I ain't gonna lie, bro.
The first time I heard thatshit played in the club, bro, I

(01:05:05):
got so geeked like I was likebro, what the fuck am I before I
let go like what?
Like this is the shit I heard.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
when I was like yeah, on a track practice when I was
like seven I was about to saywhat age were you when you first
heard Frankie Beverly?

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
Probably like seven or eight.
Probably like seven or eight,maybe six.
I mean, I was probably likeseven or eight.
Probably yeah, because I wasrunning track.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
And so that's another thing that I feel like.
I feel like because you went to, went to cookouts right growing
up um, I mean, yeah, my parentshad cookouts and stuff like
that.
Yeah, and did they play?

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
they played it um, honestly and truthfully, I I
don't remember.
It'd be a mixture of differentstuff because, like I said,
frankie Beverly and FrankieBeverly and Maze is only real
intimate for me and, like mygrandfather, Like at the
cookouts.
It would be, you know, tinaMarie Luther Vandross.
Right, like I hate it.

(01:06:09):
Maybe like the modern hip hopthat was playing that time,
maybe some little old school hiphop, right, whatever.
But yeah, my grandfather likeFrankie Beverly, that's, he gets
all the praise for that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
For sure.
Yeah, I just nah, the reason Isay that is just because
obviously I wasn't.
You know cookouts is like aregular.
You know, I feel like thing forwell, I guess any folk could
have a cookout, but I just, Idon't know, I feel like black
cookouts know they be, theyreally be jamming with the music

(01:06:42):
, you know I'm saying, and so Inever had that experience coming
up.
You know.
So I didn't.
A lot of these songs I had tolearn about through other folks,
you know, because I didn'texperience, like you know, at
the cookout they put on, youknow, frankie beverly and just
be grooving as a family to that.
You know.
So, um, but yeah, so anyway, Ican only imagine what it's like

(01:07:09):
growing up listening to it justin like a, you know, regular
day-to-day setting, to hearingit in the club.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
You know it's like crazy that, you know bro, and
that's probably the last time Iprobably heard it was with my
grandfather.
So when I hear yeah, I'm likewhat, it's crazy so not even
thinking about, not even think,because in my head I'm thinking

(01:07:38):
like bro, I haven't heard thissince like california.
Not even thinking that, becausein my head I'm thinking, bro, I
haven't heard this since,california.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
Not even thinking that Brinkley Beverly and Maze
is a Southern.
Ain't Brinkley Beverly aSouthern group?
That's my assumption.
I actually didn't do theresearch on where they
originally from the members andstuff but the person she was
from Pittsburgh, but I knew shehad family in the South too,
though.
Right, that's where I figuredthat she learned about it.

(01:08:06):
Then, on top of that, the songSouthern Girl, Southern Girl.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
Yeah, that's one of the up-tempo joints.
I need to add that to my jointtoo.
But yeah, man, one of theup-tempo joints.
Yeah, I need to add that to myjoint too.
But yeah, man, yeah, long liveall these artists, man, because
you guys will be missed, they'llmust.
So I just feel like a lesson islearned from I mean, of course,

(01:08:36):
rich Homie.
Y'all just need to put thesedrugs down.
It's as simple as that.
But when it comes to B King andFat man Scoop and I can't tell
you what they were or were notdoing, maybe that's just
something they want to keepprivate and they just was here
for a good time, not a long time.
But, yeah, man, y'all need togo check these doctors out.

(01:08:56):
Man, make sure everything isrunning right.
Or somebody go check withsomebody, make sure your body is
running right, because younever know, your body just might
shut down on you for manyreasons.
So, yeah, man, just get checkedout, everybody get checked out.
But, um, yeah, we're gonna keepit moving.

(01:09:17):
What do we got next?
What Guess the Bars is?

(01:09:57):
I give Tanaka some bars fromsome hip-hop songs.
He does the same thing for me.
We read it out, try to figureout who it is.
If we can figure it out, wejudge it on the F scale, which
is 5 to 1.
Fire, ferocious, flat, frisbeeand fecal.
And yeah, we just go from there.
See if we can figure it out.
We say the first time we heardit and yeah, go from there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
Looks like Tanaka is gonna start us off a real bitch.
But that body built like a doll, I ain't no competition with
these hoes at all.
I wish it on a bakery way.
Ninjas bring the cake to me,and if that boy a baller, I bet
I can make him play for me.
Um, I'm gonna get us a flat,flat fur.
Um, can play for me.
I'm going to get some flat fur.
I feel like this is like a late2010s artist, a female rapper.

(01:11:01):
But I ain't going to lie, it'sa lot of them, a lot of them out
there.
So I don't know who this is.
Yeah, it's a lot of themtalking that.
You know I'm that bit.
You know what I'm saying outthere.
Right, it's a lot of themtalking that.
You know I'm that bit.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
You know what I'm saying All that stuff, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):
So you were.
You were right.
It was one of those, and youwere right.
Late 2010s Um, megan TheeStallion.
Oh god, this is uh.
Do it On the Tip.
Are you familiar with that song?

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
Yeah, that was with City Girls, right.
Yep, yeah, dang, that was withCity Girls, right.
Yep, yeah, dang, that was.
Yeah.
It's crazy how that's a veryvague memory, that song.

Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, I thought that song
would have been bigger, I'm notgoing to lie.
And then it just kind of justit's kind of a little blip.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Yeah, you know it wasn't really.

Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
Yeah, it wasn't really hitting on nothing, that
was a couple songs.
There was a couple songs fromMegan.
I thought would have beenbigger, like that Ride or Die
song.
I thought that song would havebeen like one of the New Orleans
yeah, and it just.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
Nothing All right.
So let's see what's thebusiness.
Baby, can I get in them draws?
I like the way your fans rubagainst my balls cuz you, the
one, a nigga, mad ass, out thecab mall with your pretty brown
skin, thick thighs and all 135,petite, and you smell, and your
smell is unique.
Maybe we can exchange numbersand hook up in a week.

(01:12:35):
Oh you a freak.
I knew it from the first time Isaw you, the way you play with
your tongue, I knew right then Iwould call you.
So I'm not going to lie.
Trillville, some cut.
I'm not going to lie to you,bro, I don't know any of their
names, so I'm going to just takewhich verse.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
Which verse First, second or third, All right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
I don't know any of their names.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
But yeah, this is.

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
This is some cut trivial, but um yeah, so this
verse about don p, don p, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Um, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my bad, uh, I'm sorry.
Uh, I mean it's realdescriptive.
I'll give it a.
I can appreciate him beingdescriptive.
Um, flat, I give it flat, it'sall right.
Um, what's interesting aboutwhat's interesting about this

(01:13:32):
song is this was around the timewhen this song came out.
This was not when I this islike right before I moved to
Georgia and this song was bigand I knew it was big because
they're from Atlanta and theymade it to California.
So, um, this was when I was mymom had an iTunes account and
she would let me buy like songson iTunes to just have.

(01:13:56):
And I remember this song had,um, the, the, the clean version,
for some reason, when I boughtit on iTunes still had the
juggle my balls part in it and Iwas like I don't remember this
part on the song, so that thatthat always stuck out to me and
I I know I never I like kind ofplayed it and hushed like didn't

(01:14:20):
want my mom to hear type ofdeal.
But yeah, so yeah, some good.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
I just got a bad bitch.
She don't talk no English andmy car go real fast.
I hit that gas and I leave, andI'm scared of water, but I rock
your boat like a Leah.
Shadi know that I won't ever go.
She know that I ain't evergoing to leave her.
I want a Michael Jackson beat.
I promise to tell none of yoursecrets.
I mean, at least he's honestman.

(01:15:05):
Man.
He said he's scared of water.
I can appreciate the AaliyahMichael Jackson references.
I give this a flat.
I don't know who this is,though no guesses yeah, I don't

(01:15:28):
know who that is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
I'ma just say this this is actually interesting
that you chose this one.
The fact that you chose thisone out of all of them Is
actually amazing.
So this is Rich on MequineBeautiful.
That's off of a song called youKnow.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
You Know?
Yeah, I don't know whichproject.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
Are you familiar?

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
with you Know?
Yeah, I don't know whichproject that one's off of May
have been a loose single.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
That's what it's looking like, leaked from the
cancelled Rich Gang album withYoung Thug and Birdman with
guests.

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
I probably heard it.
That was supposed to be thesecond one, the second Rich on
me album.
I know there was like a leakedversion that had like 12 songs,
so I think that might have beenone of the records.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Yeah, it's so crazy because one of the songs on that
unreleased joint said brainnickels wait what exactly, I was
reading the title like oh,that's the name of the song,
it's brain yeah but they'retalking about brian nickels, so

(01:16:40):
I'm why didn't they just spellit Brian?
Nichols, they probably justmisspelled it and just never got
back to it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
I don't know, it's just.
It's everywhere, though, likeliterally.
If you look up, it's spelledBrian Nichols, like everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
So I just you know.
Look bro, they was rushing andthey just never finished it
Cause it never got released.
Nobody's gonna hear this anyway, so whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
Yeah, hella, people Blame.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
Nichols, that's funny .
Anyway, let's see Champagne,cork pop, like we all made it.
Y'all looking from thesidelines, we all hate it.
Money, don't make it real,don't give a fuck till it's 80
mil pussy.
And just cause you got aBentley, that Bentley don't make
it, make you thorough pussy.

(01:17:30):
Still hating me from my city.
I'm thinking they for realpussies, cause all I got to say
is kill.
They'll come like the navyseals.
That's word to my mama.
I promise I ain't doing noblock and we shoot at you
robbers and kill all you fuckniggas talking.
Um, I was gonna say rich homieKwan, I mean, I'm rich homie

(01:17:54):
Kwan, I'm tripping.
I was gonna say uh, 21, savage,because he's known for saying
pussy in every ad lib, but Idon't think I've ever heard him
say word to my mama.
So I guess some I don't know, Idon't know Still hating me for

(01:18:23):
myself.
Um, this is flat, this isanother flat, this is.
So I was gonna say 21.
But yeah, no, I don't know.
I'll probably say some up northrapper, because he said word to
my mama Even then, mama, Idon't hear a New York rapper

(01:18:46):
saying mama, word to my mom,word to your mom, I don't know.
Some up north shit.
I don't know that's what I'mgoing to go with Some up north
shit.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
So this is Meat Mill Beautiful.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
Yeah, a record called Lord Knows, featuring Toy Lames
.
It was off of the Dreams WorthMore Than Money album.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Is that the one with the red background and the money
?
Oh, right before you fell off.

Speaker 2 (01:19:28):
Went from quarter to broke to half past rich with my
badass bitch.
And you don't want no problemson some math class shit, so
check the young genius out, fuckthe world, bust a nut and let
my semen sprout.
I thought that real shit iswhat you've been fiending about,
what you've been praying for,what you've been screaming about
Ironic.
You've been sleeping on the onethat you've been dreaming about

(01:19:50):
.
Oh man, dang it what?
Because I know this.
But now I got gotta see if Ican shoot your shot.
Shoot your shot, bro.
This is a ferocious fire, yeah,fire.

(01:20:16):
Yeah, this is J Cole.
Damn.
I feel like it's all of thatfirst mixtape that he hit.

(01:20:47):
What you been praying for, damn.
I can't remember the song.
Yeah, I just know it's J Cole,right?

(01:21:13):
Correctamundo, sir, yeah, Ican't remember the song man.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
So the reason why you can't remember this song is
because this isn't a jay colesong.
This is a feature.
It's a song called looking fortrouble, for trouble, and I just
hit me yeah it just it just hitme so it sounds like you know
this song.
When's the first time you heardlooking for trouble, sir?

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
um, when it came out because that was part of the
good friday series and uh, yeah,I really I was super excited.
Every good friday I was justlike man, it's gonna be the one.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
Anyway, moving along from fucking Saha Dang, that was
J Cole.
Snapped on that, though, forreal, that's the Cole that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:15):
That's the Cole I want.

Okay, go ahead, finish that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
No, I was listening to the project and it was pretty
dope, top to bottom, prettydope, it's just.
It made me think of the timeperiod.
Um, it made me think of thetime period and so, like some,
some lines just kind of come offa little corny.
It just, yeah, some of some ofthe lines were just kind of

(01:26:13):
corny or whatever.
But like, when I think of thetime, I'm sure it wasn't, you
know, it wasn't corny, yeah.
And then also, so it made methink of will smith and I was
like you know what, maybe wegotta just a touch, just a touch
, you know that's a littledifferent, because I feel, like

(01:26:33):
they felt.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
I felt like they felt like he was soft back then for
real.

If I were to just take a shotin the dark, I would say
Childish Gambino, chance theRapper, because I remember his
last album.
They were complaining becausehe just kept talking about his
baby mama, but then again, thiscan't be him, because he's

(01:31:21):
always talking about his babymama and they never got married.
So no, not Chance the Rapper.
I don't know who this is.
Who is this?
Tanaka?

cracking up laughing.

Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
Last time I played this song was June 11th of last
year.
I wonder what that was.
It was probably Trap Fever orsomething.

Speaker 2 (01:38:03):
Yeah, probably T-fever.

Speaker 1 (01:38:10):
Well, yeah, that was Guess the Bars.
That was interesting,interesting, Guess the Bars.

Speaker 2 (01:38:17):
I ain't gonna lie, rich Homie did have some like I
remember that time when I thinkit's better watch what you say.
What do you say?
Um, he said something likeaccurate.

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
Gotta love Rich Homie .
Gotta love Rich Homie.

Speaker 1 (01:38:52):
Gotta love it.
Well, all right, man, we'regoing to move on from the hall

(01:39:22):
of fame because it was so longago, so I'ma just wrap this up
real quick.
So I had Ricky Ricky gettingmurdered in Boys in the Hood and
Tanaka had DJ Drip's reggaeslash west coast mix at the New
Music Monday.
By the way, I forgot, we weresupposed to update on that too,

(01:39:42):
but we'll do that later, or?

Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
maybe not.

Speaker 1 (01:39:45):
We didn't even update that yeah, we never update that
the first time.
Last time we talked about itwas the first, uh, first round,
but anyway.
So the winner of that was djdrips mix at the new music
monday.
So, um, well, I mean since,since, since it's the winter,
let's go ahead and update on thenew music Monday.
How did that go?

Speaker 2 (01:40:10):
Step.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
Just take a step.
I mean day by day what happenedafter that first night.

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
Um Semifinals two plays DJ Jert won against.
Um damn, what was her name nowum?

Speaker 1 (01:40:33):
I mean, does it really matter?

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
the girl from DC cool , uh, oh, pk killer.
Or was it party killer?
Yeah, pk killer, something likethat, I don't know.
And then it was oh, pk Killer.
Or was it Party Killer, yeah,pk Killer, something like that,
I don't know.
And then it was AC against Wavyand in a perfect world, I

(01:40:56):
wanted the Delinquents to faceoff in the finals.
As we all did Drip against AC inthe finals, with drip against
ac, but unfortunately dj dripdidn't win against pk killer.
He definitely could have.
They had to do an extra roundto determine the winner because,
um, they couldn't.

(01:41:18):
They had such a hard timedeciding and the only reason I
feel like she won was becauseshe did different genres of
music, like that's literally theonly reason why and they didn't
even look like they wanted toget to her, but they felt like
they had some.
As far as ac and wavy ac,completely body bag wavy, you

(01:41:44):
know, uh, no disrespect to wavyman, but I ain't gonna lie top
to bottom man man, ac was likemarking him, bro, and it was
that that was ac in in likeprime form, bro, because he was
going crazy from the jump.
Because he was going crazy fromthe jump, and then the second

(01:42:08):
round was just him completelydissing Wavy with every record
and it was pretty impressive.
We get to the final and AC goesagainst PK Killah, pk Killoo and
um, yeah, basically AC had justgot out the hospital because he

(01:42:30):
had low blood sugar and um, sohe wasn't really feeling a
hundred percent, but you knowthat's no mistake or anything,
or, uh, excuse me excuse me.
So in the final round they wasover there battling and AC did

(01:42:55):
his thing, but he didn't go allthe way.
He kind of held back.
I knew he had another game plan, but he decided not to go
through with it.
Meanwhile she was over therecoming for his neck in terms of,
like, just dissing him, likeevery round, and so it was once
again a tough decision becauseit almost got to the point that,

(01:43:15):
like they gave it to her, butthey were like you won by just a
hair.
Basically they gave it to her,but they were like you won by
just a hair.
Basically Because, yeah, likethey wanted her to battle and
stuff like that, but it got to apoint where it wasn't even
enjoyable, like to listen to themusic, you know, and they were
like like it's cool to battleand that's great, but you can't

(01:43:40):
forget the main thing we're herefor, and as a DJ, you're
supposed to rock the crowd andhave everybody vibing out and
stuff, you know.
So she kind of took it a littleoverboard in terms of battling.
Um, I would say she did herhomework, you know, and all that
because she actually used thatvideo that ac had of what like

(01:44:04):
his, his, um, his tips for beinga DJ.
She used that and will playexcerpts of that and then just
basically play a song orwhatever.
So like it was kind of clever,but it was like I ain't lie, I
didn't even know that that wasAC talking when she played the

(01:44:26):
joint.
I thought it was just somerandom dude talking.
But you know, at the end of theday, man, I'm proud of AC and
Drip for how they competed.
I was disappointed that theDelinquents didn't get the W,
but at the end they.

(01:44:47):
You know, it's a lesson learned.

Speaker 1 (01:44:51):
And now they're coalition DJs, right.

Speaker 2 (01:44:54):
I guess.
So I don't know, I don't know.
Jer said F that I'm adelinquent, so but that's, but
that's.
Yeah, that's what happened withall that you know.

Speaker 1 (01:45:10):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
Oh, yeah, and Popo was there.
Dj Popo and DJ JC.

Speaker 1 (01:45:16):
I couldn't be there with Popo bro.
I ain't gonna lie, if I watchPopo DJ again, bro, I'm like
that shit is low-key,discouraging the way he be
fucking DJing.
Bro.
I ain't gonna lie, that niggais cold.
Yeah, that nigga's hard.

Speaker 2 (01:45:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:45:34):
So yeah, Tanaka, who's starting it off, since you
won this round?

Speaker 2 (01:45:40):
I'ma start it off and I'ma nominate K-Way Sweets and
Treats.

Speaker 1 (01:45:49):
It's been so bad that he went all the way From Stone
Mountain To Cascade.

Speaker 2 (01:45:55):
Look, man, I had to get that fixed, bro.
You know K-Way man, she Matterof fact.
I'ma let you tell it, man.
What's the backstory on k-wayman?

Speaker 1 (01:46:10):
this is the, this is that girl the sweets so I didn't
know who this girl was thebackstory on this girl is.
So shout out to everybody thatcame to nice and slow three.
I mean we already gave theshout out, but whatever, let's
talk about it again.
So during Nice and Slow 3,there was a scavenger hunt going
on, and so with the scavengerhunt they found a little heart

(01:46:35):
around the skating rink.
And once they found the heartaround the skating rink, they
came to the DJ booth, got aprize, and the prize was
determined on the number thatwas inside the heart.
So, um, once they did that, um,and they came there, some
people had prizes that likedidn't match.
Like there was this stud girlthat won some condoms.

(01:46:57):
She was like, what am I doingwith that?
I was like, oh no, that'sthat's.
I don't know.
I don't know you're gonna dothat anyway, beside the point.
So it was another situation likethat and this guy had won the
heart and the prize was a littleteddy bear made of flowers with
some earrings.
And I was like I ain't gonnalie, bruh, this prize is, um,

(01:47:20):
it's the prize you got, like agirlfriend or a friend, that's a
girl or, or you know a partner,or you know somebody that you
admire, that you probably tryingto holla at, or something.
And he was like, well, there isthis one girl, there's this one
girl.
She got on, um, she got a redtop and a black bottom and she
got a bow, and she got a bow onher head.

(01:47:41):
And I'm like, okay, wait, Idon't, I don't, I don't know
you're talking about.
So you point them out, youpoint her out, and I was like,
oh, okay, that girl.
And so on the mic, I'm callingher out like you, if you want to
see it, it's literally onyoutube.
Go check out the nicest low uh,youtube, uh video.
And I'm like, hey, so you'vebeen called out.
So if you got a red top on blackshorts and you got a bow on

(01:48:04):
your head, and it's funny asshe's like realizing like what
she's like, she's like, and thenshe like, puts it.
And so she comes to the djbooth and I tell her hey, yeah,
so somebody, um, somebody, uh,won this prize and they want to
give it to you.
And so they're like.
She's like, oh, my god.
So, um, she won the prize and Ithink I don't, honestly and

(01:48:28):
truthfully don't know how I gother instagram, honestly, because
I don't remember asking for it,but she took the picture with
the uh, teddy bear and theearrings.
And, um, I got her instagram.
And then we find out she makessweets and so, I guess, six
months later, tanaka I guess endup trying, you know, trying one
.

Speaker 2 (01:48:48):
And that's when I would let DJ Tanaka take the
floor so, yeah, I think we hadpeeps her during the week like
she was selling, and that man,drip, was like, hey, tanaka, you
gonna get some some of thatcheesecake from that girl.
I was like, hey, tonight yougonna get some some of that
cheesecake from that girl.
I was like what are you talkingabout?
And he's like that car overthere, you see they all huddled

(01:49:11):
around.
I'm like, nah, I'm cool.
So then I went to another cavesundae and I was like you know
what, let me try this out, bro,let me see what it with him for.
And she was like you know.
So this means like you know,let me know how you like it, or
whatever, right, but I took thatfirst bite and I swear to you,

(01:49:35):
bro, I nearly fell in love, likethat.
That joint was like bro, thatjoint was so good, turn up our
first bite, bruh.
I was like I was like damn likethat joint, like so that
clearly that plate didn't makeit out of the parking lot.
Bruh, you know what I'm saying.
It was over with.

(01:49:56):
And then, and then you know, asas, how most things work.
You know, I started spreadingthe word, do you feel me?
Because I was like, bro, thisjoint is hitting and um, so, no,
bro, I had it again.
This time I got the bananapudding.
I had the strawberry cheesecakethe first time and then I got

(01:50:18):
the banana pudding the secondtime.
Banana pudding the second time,bro, that banana pudding going
crazy, you know.
And um, and then even thecookies be hitting too.
So it's just, I don't know, bro, that that joint is like I.
It's crazy because I reallyshouldn't be eating that stuff,

(01:50:42):
but, bro, it tastes so good thatit's like and this is there's
no disrespect to BJ, because Iknow BJ be selling cheesecakes
with you know his lemonade andstuff.
But because, all right, I alwaystell BJ like I don't really cop
the lemonade, like that,because it's hella sugar in

(01:51:03):
there, right.
So obviously you're gonna lookat me like well, Tanaka, you're
eating cheesecake that is hellasugar, right, but in my eyes I'm
like I would rather like eatsugar as a snack and then just
drink, because I feel likethere's hella drinks that you
can have like without sugar andstuff like that.
So, and I like the lemonades,bro, they be having hella sugar

(01:51:28):
in there, like I could taste it,you know, and it's like don't
get me wrong, it tastes great.
So for anybody to f withlemonade, like definitely cop
from bj, but like I just I can'tbe having all that sugar, like
like with my drink and stuff.
So but yeah, anyway,cheesecakes, bruh, that joint,

(01:51:52):
go crazy.
If you see K-Way she, you knowwhat I'm saying.
Short girl, thick with theglasses.
Bruh, bless yourself with theK-Way, that joint, like I swear,
like I like, bro, this got tobe some secret, like family
recipe or something.

Speaker 1 (01:52:12):
I don't know.
Well, tanaka, I don't look.
You know I'm not really intolike the theories and
conspiracies and all that shit,but they do say with when it
comes.
I don't know.
I feel like, in comparison frommen making it and women making
it, I feel like you know, okay,you know, put a little love in a
little love yeah, I feel likeit's like you know, it's like a
little bit of tlc in some ofthose joints I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (01:52:36):
She, she like so, then right.
So then we had the realtor.
I told reena about it.
It's like, all right now.
Now, you know I'm a real.
She's like, I'm a real big backout here.
Like I, I really look where I'mgonna tell you what it's him
for, right, so I let her get ascoop you know what I'm saying

(01:52:56):
from the joint.
And then she kind of like, shekind of like walked off and I
was like, oh dang, did she notlike it?
Like I almost thought she wasgonna spit it out.
Type joint.
She's like bro, that is hittingon my.
She did her big one, bro, thatis so good.
I was like, oh see, okay, soyeah.

(01:53:20):
So so reena approved.
She was like bro on my mama,that is good as hell.
Like, like I would tell you ifthat was whack, bro, because I
didn't have a lot of differentcheesecake.
But bro, that's.
And so she's like I, I gottatry the banana, she gotta make

Alright bet.
So I'ma go completely left withit and I'm going to actually go
with your boy.
I'm actually go with your boyand his most viral interview.
With that being said, mynomination for the TNT podcast
is Speedy Ray J the Unbreakable.
The Unbreakable interview.
So class was actuallyinterested in about this.

(01:55:59):
About this is that I justreally found this on a humbug
because, like, obviously Ididn't know who Speedy was and
before that time, I didn't knowwho Tanaka was.
So, like I'm just watching itand I'm like, bro, this man Ray
J is literally lying through histeeth.
Because I'm like sitting herewatching.
I'm like, okay, so like how?
Like how are Glee's glassesunbreakable?

(01:56:20):
And so he's just sitting therepleading his case, like, yeah,
bro, just break them, see if youcan break them.
And then he's like, bro, Idon't want to break your stuff,
break them, see if you can breakthem.

Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
He just Reggie, don't try me now.

Speaker 1 (01:56:37):
Okay, I will break them.
He's like break them, break them, break them, I don't care like
why.
You just straight up lied to uslike, like, like that shit
makes no sense, like I don'tknow.
You know what's funny.

(01:56:57):
That's why that's, when Idiscovered that ray j is a very
interesting human being, like Ijust I just never thought of ray
j, of anything, so like it'sjust when that happened.
Then after that, fast forward tothe verses, find out I mean,
see that thing with the, thatthat verse is bro, that shit is

(01:57:17):
amazing.
And then like, and then afterthat, uh, having the um episode
with julian shout out julianthen discovering the um, I guess
the, the conversation with him,and fabulous, like ray j is a
very interesting human being.
And then it's just funnybecause not saying that speedy
doesn't take things seriously,because obviously he takes

(01:57:39):
things a lot serious.
That's why he's made it to theplatform that he has.
But it's just funny that hejust kind of plays into it.
He's just kind of just likebreak them Bro, I can break them
bro, I can break these glasses.
Okay, cool, break them.

Speaker 2 (01:57:55):
It's just so funny because that was the blossoming
of a friendship.
Him and Ray J is tight now.
Oh, they're like friends, yeah,like he could call them up and
like awesome, like you knowthat's interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:58:10):
Yeah, that's an interesting fact that I didn't
know.
That's that's.
That's cool, that's what's upso you know any other facts
behind that, behind that uhsituation, or is that?
Is that?

Speaker 2 (01:58:21):
bad, I feel like.
I think I think Ray J had lethim use like a sprinter or
something, you know somethinglike that.

Speaker 1 (01:58:29):
I feel like you told me about that yeah yeah, so you
know.
That's crazy.
That's what's up, though.

Speaker 2 (01:58:36):
That's what's up, it's just, but I feel you.
So from our public perceptionit's like we look at Ray J like
shirt off in the rain.
If I could have one.

Speaker 1 (01:58:49):
But that's what I'm saying.
So I'm not even talking aboutlike his music career.
I'm just saying that he justportrays so much different shit.

Speaker 2 (01:58:57):
That's what I'm saying.
We see that side of him andthen we see him talking gangster
to fabulous, like I swear togod, yo, I pull up with my goons
.
We see this gangster side ofRay J and then we see this like
serious businessman who's justlying through his teeth about
his product.

(01:59:17):
So it's just the many sides ofRay J, but yeah so so yeah man
the hall of fame.

Speaker 1 (01:59:23):
It's just the many sides of Ray J, man, the many
sides of Ray J.
But yeah so, yeah, man, theHall of Fame.
So we're going to go with Kright, k Sweet Treats.

Speaker 2 (01:59:32):
Yeah, K-Way Sweets and Treats.

Speaker 1 (01:59:35):
K-Way Sweets and Treats versus the Speedy Ray J
Unbreakable interview.
We're going to put it onInstagram and we're going to let
y'all vote and, yeah, we'll gofrom there.
All right, so up next.

Speaker 2 (02:00:22):
So we got a song of the day.

Speaker 1 (02:00:23):
so, yeah, yep, okay so, tanaka, I'm not gonna lie.
This one I ain't gonna lie.
I had to do some research onthis one because this it's been
a long time coming for this one.
So, um, this song is a trackthat blends humor and bragging,

(02:00:45):
focusing on the themes ofsuccess, wealth and the
lifestyle that comes with it.
The song's repetitive hookemphasized the idea of flaunting
and expensive watches andjewelry as a symbol of status.
The lyrics also touch onvarious aspects of the artist's
life, including their rise tothe fame, relationships and the

(02:01:10):
hustles involved with theircareer.
There are phrases that suggestthat, while they may not have to
engage in illegal activity tomake money, they understand the
grind and efforts to require toachieve this success.
It's a catchy and playful trackthat showcased the artist's
personality and their ability tocreate a memorable impact of

(02:01:33):
music.
Tanaka.
With all that being said, doyou want to take a guess at what
the?
You want to take a guess atwhat the song of the day is?

Speaker 2 (02:01:45):
No, I ain't gonna lie , I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (02:01:49):
That was a long description Dude.
With that being said, my songof the day is Father, featuring
I Love.
Makonnen featuring Key.
Look At Wrist.

Speaker 2 (02:02:08):
Mcconin, featuring key look at wrist, tanaka.
Could you imagine that thatthat is the description of look
at wrist?

Speaker 1 (02:02:14):
yeah that's uh, I don't know who wrote that one
sweet baby, jesus.
Bro.
Like that shit is like.
The fact that they had all thatwith wrist is hilarious, bro,
very much so.
So the song came out sometimein 2014.
Nobody really has an actualdate of when.
Look at wrist came out.
Somewhere in 2014, fatherreleased look at wrist.
According to youtube, it wasreleased in july, so we're just

(02:02:38):
gonna go off of youtube july2014.
It the track is Is on one ofhis projects.
It's track number 5 On Father'sProject Young Hot, ebony Tanaka
.
Have you ever heard Young HotEbony?

Speaker 2 (02:02:52):
I think that's the only Father's track I've ever
heard.
So no, I have not heard Young,hot Ebony.

Speaker 1 (02:03:00):
It is.
It's released off his Hisrecord record label, awful
records.
Tanaka, are you familiar withawful records?
I am familiar with awfulrecords do you have any other,
any other tidbits on awfulrecords?

Speaker 2 (02:03:18):
I want to say ugly guy.
I think ugly guy was on awfulrecords.
I'm not sure, though.

Speaker 1 (02:03:24):
I can't, I can't well , wipe the dust off that one boy
, ugly guy.
I drip on your beard like what,but anyway, we're gonna talk
about ugly guy.
Um was actually interesting.
I actually got this informationoff of rap genius, so shout out
to rap genius.
Um, what helped generate somebuzz from the song was
apparently drake.

(02:03:44):
Uh, drake uh credited, I meanuh, or shouted out the song on
his instagram, um, on hisinstagram in 2014.
So you know, if drake isbacking you, then you know.
You know you got some mcconinwas signed right to drake at the
time I think he was signed toawful records actually, oh okay,

(02:04:06):
and then he may I don't know,he may have had a partnership, I
don't, you know I it gets realfishy when it gets to the we got
a favorite.

Speaker 2 (02:04:12):
When did tuesday come out?

Speaker 1 (02:04:17):
no idea.
But if you can, whenever,whenever you're done, doing what
you're doing, look that up forme.
Um, when I heard the song, Iheard the song at a random party
and what?
What caught my ear?
What caught my ear of the song?
How laid back and lazy thetrack sounds like.
Bro, that song is hella lazyfrom the beat to the producer to

(02:04:41):
the rapping it it's just likeso laid back and lazy.
But I fuss with it because thisis like 2014, 2015 we're talking
about like this joint willstart up any cypher of, like you
know, the nay, nay or whip orweed or whatever the case.
Like it'll start up the circlewrist, wrist, wrist, wrist,
wrist, wrist of any, likeanything.

(02:05:02):
So that's what made me, that'swhat caught the attention of
that song to me.
But at the time, I waspart-time DJing and I was at
part-time at the Boys and GirlsClub, but I was at every party,
like I said, so, like this songdidn't get played at every party
, but like, when it did getplayed, it was like oh shit,
like that shit is hard.

(02:05:24):
So here's the thing.
Here's another thing about thissong, right?
So I don't know if you cannecessarily like uh, use this as
a as an official video.
But I guess you kind of can,because the song is playing and
you know it's the official audioand it's just.

(02:05:44):
But the video is literally themin the studio and like you
could tell father is into itbecause it's his song, but like
macon is like they're allsitting down and like the camera
is literally just panning tothem as their song is, as their
part is coming on, and like it'sjust funny because father is

(02:06:05):
into it, he's, and then I wantto keep it.
Oh, look at god and so.
But mccone, he just has thischain on his face.
He's just fucking.
I don't know what the fuck he'sdoing.
It's so weird.
It's just like they just andkey he can't even remember his
part.
Like he's rapping it, but likehe's like he doesn't even

(02:06:27):
remember the part.
Like bro, this song is justlike.
I don't know.
This is hilarious, just thevideo, and I don't know.
I gotta show you the videobecause I know you would
appreciate how this is yeah,I've seen the video.

Speaker 2 (02:06:41):
Oh, you've seen the video.
Oh, you seen the video.
I know exactly what you'retalking about.
That's why it's so funny.

Speaker 1 (02:06:46):
It's just like I don't know, it's just hilarious.
So it's two things I think ofwhen I think of Look at wrist.
It's first.
The first thing I think of whenI think of wrist Is Partying in
the 2014 2015 era Of AtlantaLike Blue House 40 Griffin.
Partying in the 2014-2015 eraof atlanta like blue house um,

(02:07:07):
40 griffin.
Like just the clubs.
Like I didn't really go to alot of the clubs.
I was in more of the like thehouse party scene and shit like
that.
But yeah, like look at wristwould always like not always,
but like sporadically like popin the DJ's playlist and yeah,
bro, talk about just a hiddengem in Atlanta.

(02:07:28):
Bro, that song is like Atlantalegendary gold.
I know you always talk aboutstreet classic Tanaka.
I feel like that song is astreet classic, absolutely.
So.
The second thing I think of iswhen I first met DJ Tanaka.

(02:07:48):
So for the people that don'tknow me and AC, we met Tanaka.
Tanaka did a New Year's Eveparty from 2019 to 2020.
And I forgot how we got on theconversation.
Maybe tanaka will be able totell.
But we started talking aboutthe song and I was like bro, I
swear to god, if you play thatsong I would like, bro, we got

(02:08:12):
to be friends forever, like, andso he played it.
And, bro, I just remember, Ijust remember somebody being in
the dj booth and I had hopped ontop of the fucking.
I had hopped on top of the djbooth, started dancing and shit,
and she's just kind of lookinglike what the fuck is happening
right now.
So those are the two things Ialways think about, um, about,

(02:08:34):
uh, look at when risk when lookat risk comes on, that's always
what I think about.
But, um, and of course, you know, know, look at Riz, the father
made the beat.
I mean, he couldn't yeah, youknow, it wasn't in the budget
for him to get a real bigproducer.
So, you know, father had to goon the beat but shout out to

(02:08:54):
father man.
But, last thing, criticsappreciated the song's playful
and irreverent nature, which isset apart from most of the
mainstream hip-hop tracks at thetime.
The collaboration betweenFather Olive, makoni and Key was
also highlighted as a keyfactor in the song's success.
If you want a little sneak peekof like what it was looking

(02:09:30):
like in the mid, the mid 2010s,you definitely need to check out
.
I love, I love Makonnen, keyand Fathers.
Look at wrist Because, yeah,that, yeah, yeah, that's that's,
that's, that's a song in justfor its time.
It's just a beautiful song.
Tanaka, I like you about to saysomething.

Speaker 2 (02:09:49):
Yeah, man, this is definitely one of the essentials
.
That you know what I'm saying.
Me and Turner became cool and Ithink that we be forget like.
Like look, I don't get me wrong, I know I'll be talking lyrics,
this lyrics that you feel me.

(02:10:10):
I appreciate lyrics, but trustme, I can also appreciate just
fun music and, bro, we sometimesforget that hip-hop is meant to
be like.
You're supposed to have fun,bro, you know what I'm saying
and I think I think that's whythe record is so great, because
they're they're just having fun.
But you know what I mean?

(02:10:31):
It's a fun record.
So, like, yeah, man, that's a.
That's atlanta classic, streetclassic.
You can't tell me nothingdifferent.
Not at all.
It may end up at a 2010s partyby turn, you never know.
Oh absolutely you never know,man 2010s Just be on the lookout
, man.

Speaker 1 (02:10:49):
Be on the lookout.
It is happening.
Look at Riz, we'll be gettingplayed.
I don't this time.
This time is going to getplayed.
I don't care if you know it, Idon't, I'm playing it for me,
like at that point.
But yeah, so yeah, man, dj,turn Up's song of the day,
father.
Shout out to Father.
Look at rest.

Speaker 2 (02:11:10):
Shout out to Father man For my album of the day.

(02:11:46):
I'm going to go with Rich HomieKwan's last project.
It was called Family and Moolah.

Speaker 1 (02:11:53):
Damn.
I thought we was doing RoyalRichie.

Speaker 2 (02:11:58):
It was called Family and Moolah.
It was released in 2022.
It was eight songs and then areloaded, basically deluxe
version was released in 2022.
Um, it was eight songs and thena reloaded, basically deluxe
version was released and it had15 songs on it and, um, it just
showed the new sound that richhomie was having.

(02:12:21):
It was a lot more polished newsound that rich homie was having
.
It was a lot more polished,kind of less like that struggle,
but more so, um, polished and,I would say, rejuvenated.
Rich homie kwan.
Um, and it really kind of breaksmy heart because one of the

(02:12:46):
singles he released was calledcrazy and on that song, bro, he
literally has a lyric that saidI know, one of my partners just
died from one of the fake pills,bro, and so it's like it was
crazy to hear that.
But overall, on the project, Ican appreciate it because in a

(02:13:10):
lot of the interviews that richhomie has been having recently,
he's been speaking about howimportant it is like for his
message in the music now, nowthat he has his kids growing up,
and all that.
He was like you know, if theylook me up, you know they're
gonna see, you know they'regonna hear stuff, you know.
So he started becoming moreaware of like what he puts in

(02:13:34):
his music as far as messaging,and so I can appreciate that, um
, because I feel like rich homiehas always been inspirational,
but he does have his momentswhere he'd be talking about like
smashing girls and this andthat and all that.
But I will say, in a lot of therecords, um, he does have like

(02:13:58):
more inspirational stuff thanjust talking about stacking your
money and, like you know, justmotivational stuff, like even
tips of like um, posting thevideo after you leave the
location and that's kind of athat's something that people

(02:14:21):
don't really think about, youknow.

Speaker 1 (02:14:23):
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 2 (02:14:24):
So, like, if you go to the club and you say videos
at the club, you don't post thevideos right when you're at the
club.
You post them like after youlet the club, so that people
don't really know, like, whereyou're at.
Because a lot of people getcaught up when they post right
away that they had the club.
Then folks they got an issuewith you, pull up to the club
and then you know, take care ofyou, tight joint, so, um, and

(02:14:50):
then he has a collaboration withno cap from the new generation
and it turned out really good,you know.
So it just goes to show that hestill had a place, that he
could fit in with the newgeneration.
As far as collabing and notsound dated at all, um, I will

(02:15:12):
say that it was mainly for richhomie fans.
You know, I don't know how muchit will break through as far as
like nationally, but, um, Ithink it was just exciting to
hear rich homie and in a moremature state.
Uh, it's unfortunate we didn'tget to see that fully developed,

(02:15:36):
you know.
But, um, you know, uh, I canappreciate the project for sure,
and I really just felt like itwas a teaser of, of like things
to come really.
But, uh, salute to rich HomieKwan man.

(02:16:04):
It's interesting because when Ilook at his career, like I think
back to Because, ok, when wealways hear an artist, right,
right, I feel like the first fewyears it's always exciting
because, first of all, there'ssomething new that we haven't

(02:16:26):
heard.
You know, when the artist comesonto the scene, then they
develop their sound, you know,they learn things, they get
better and then they graduate toa more mature state in which,
um, only the true fans willprobably really follow them, as

(02:16:48):
opposed to, like the, the massesthat love them when they first
came on the scene.
But, um, you know, I canappreciate that he was taking
care of his family for real andstuff like that, you know, and
getting that right.
So, yeah, man, you know, themature sound I don't think is as

(02:17:17):
exciting, you know.
What I mean, as opposed to whenyou're fresh on the scene and
really got that hunger for real.
And I think that's what happenswith a lot of artists is that
the fans kind of become boredbecause it's like, I don't't
know, maybe we just like wedon't care for growth not we,

(02:17:44):
but like or I don't know, theydon't appreciate.

Speaker 1 (02:17:46):
They don't appreciate growth the same thing, happened
with 21 Savage folks didn'tlike when he dropped, I was
greater than I am, or I amgreater than what I was.
Folks was like, bro, we ain'ttrying to hear that shit bro we
ain't trying to murdermotherfuckers.

Speaker 2 (02:18:02):
Right, right.
That's the type of time they onin.

Speaker 1 (02:18:04):
Yeah, I mean, if that's the case of Rich Homie
Quan, I could definitely see.

Speaker 2 (02:18:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:18:08):
I could definitely see that.

Speaker 2 (02:18:09):
So you know, but yeah , man, ripip to Rich Homie
Definitely will be missed man,but forever grateful man for all
the memories.
It's crazy because a lot ofcollege folk you know they

(02:18:33):
literally will remember mebecause I used to always be
bumping Rich Homie Quan type ofway.
I had it on repeat, so much tothe point that folks was like
sick of it.

Speaker 1 (02:18:45):
Let me ask you this Did any of your college friends
hit you up like, oh my god,Tanaka, did you hear?
Nah, they didn't, nah, theydidn't I know I did that with
anybody that I know is a big fanof anybody.
When Kobe died, first person Icalled was Ace Move.
Of course he didn't pick upcause he probably already heard
it.
But yeah, but um, yeah, man.

(02:19:10):
So I'm assuming I feel like Ialready know your answer to this
question.
So where does where does this,uh, where does this project sit
in the discography of rich homiekwan?

Speaker 2 (02:19:34):
are we?
We including the Rich Gangalbum, if you want to.
So his first, second and theRich Gang album, I think, are
like the top three.
I don't know exactly what theorder is, but those are the top
three, but those are the topthree.

(02:19:55):
After that I would say um.
His debut album riches inspirit.

Speaker 1 (02:20:06):
So basically, you, you don't, you don't mix and
mingle the, the, the um, the pre, the, the, the the rich homie
Kwan when he was popping, andthen the one when, the ones when
he wasn't popping.
It's just, they're like twodifferent.

Speaker 2 (02:20:20):
Oh no, I'm saying that that's the top three and
then four.
I don't know the order of thefirst three.
Yeah, that's what.

Speaker 1 (02:20:27):
I'm saying.
So that's what I'm saying.
The mainstream ones are on top,and then the ones that weren't
so mainstream are on top.

Speaker 2 (02:20:34):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty much yeah, okay, yeah,
Well, I guess, except Justbecause I know.

Speaker 1 (02:20:42):
I guess, except the, I guess the Royal Richie would
be just, I would assume, at thebottom.

Speaker 2 (02:20:47):
Yeah, I, just Because I ain't gonna lie.
I really like his debut album,but it's hard to appreciate it
as much when it doesn't resonatewith the people like that,
whereas with the earlierprojects, man, seeing the impact

(02:21:08):
that it has on folks when thoserecords get played and just
understanding how people knowthem, it's like a whole
different level.
You know.
But I'll put the debut album.
It's really a toss up betweenthis project and his other

(02:21:34):
project, coma.
I'll probably put this projectand then Coma and then the last
two will be Royal Rich and thenalbum for the album.

Speaker 1 (02:21:49):
Okay, cool.
Well, that was the album of theday, so DJ talk album of the
day.
Um so dj talk.

Speaker 2 (02:22:03):
So for dj talk um turn up, it's a real simple, you
know, question um.
Do you think we should?
Are you in trouble?
