Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
what makes you like a song?
Is it the?
Would it be the lyrics, wouldit be the melody, would it be
the beat?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
well, what is it?
What is it about a song that'dbe funny, man the instrumental
for me, it would be theinstrumental and then the lyrics
will follow right behind thatclosely.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I feel that I feel that, um, uh, okay, so is there
like an example of a song thatyou that like?
You heard the beat and you werelike, oh yeah, I love this song
.
Like uh, uh, blow by beyoncethat one I had, yeah, yeah, yeah
, he definitely, yeah, hedefinitely loves that one.
You heard the beat and you werelike, oh yeah, I love this song
.
Like Blow by.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Beyonce, that one I had, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
He definitely loves that one Because I play it and
I'm like, okay it's got a coollittle bop to it and Passion
Fruit.
Passion Fruit.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, I knew Passion Fruit was coming.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
So that was one of the ones.
You heard the beat and you waslike, oh yeah, oh, it turned on
like See what I'm saying.
So let me ask you this forPassion Fruit and your playlist
Are you playing the whole thingor are you skipping pads, bro
Talking?
Oh, no, the whole thing.
Yes, I messed with that.
I messed with that firstbeginning too.
Some people don't like that youknow what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
We got to bring him up to the top.
I'm making sure I that partheavy.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Set up a talk.
We got to bring him up to thetop.
I'm making sure I don't know.
Hey, ee, et.
What's going on, bro?
Shout out EE Checking in.
Shout out EE, ee.
What about you tonight?
What we got, nah it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
You asked this question because it's like in
like 2013, 2014, wow, the exact,like the exact.
We had an argument for me, like, and he was like bro, nobody
cares about the lyrics like theycare about the music.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
I do remember you are , and I was like you know me, I
care about the message.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
So but yeah, he was like the music come first, like
well, he had a whole littlechart like it, music flow
delivery and then lyrics-less.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Does he mean flow, slash delivery or?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
like cadence.
You know what I'm saying.
All of that, oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, I was going to say yeah, I don't know, but yeah
okay, I mean that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
But that's where I realized one song from Nudel
Arts in this.
But that's where I realizedthat I think that's where I
realized one sign for noodlearts in this but um that's where
I realized that Sydney, oh, isit Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Sydney, sydney, if this is you say, say yes, cause
I think this is Sydney Say yes,yes, well, um, what was I going
to say?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Um, yeah, I just.
That's where I realized, though, that, like, that's where
people differ in opinions,because some people care more,
just, about the actual musicthan the lyrics.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Very much so.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
And because that, like varies from person to
person, I feel like that affects, like you know, people's
opinion.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
See, we found it.
Okay, that's her.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, I was thinking I was yeah, see, we found it.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Okay, that's her, okay I was.
I was thinking, I was like wait, I think that's, I think that's
sydney because yeah, she uhfollowed me on the other one.
But, um, it's funny that yousay the beat and then you say
the message because, like, I'mnot gonna lie, I'm a little bit
of both, like I'm both too.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
You know what I'm saying, but it's like you know.
I guess I would say for me I'ma little more lenient on the
music, oh on the music.
Yeah, because I I listen forthe message.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know what I'm saying so wait, are you saying,
is it's the lyrics or it's the?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
yeah, I say I I'm a little more lenient as far as
the music.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm able to listen more for the lyrics to the mouth
got you, got you, got you, gotyou but I appreciate you know
okay, that makes sense.
Um good combination, goodcombination.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I feel that because, like, for instance, I'll say
somebody, for instance, likenappy roots, you know what I'm
saying yeah like their music maynot necessarily be all like the
musicality of it.
I don't know.
It's all opinion.
You know what?
I'm saying but I mean, yeah, Ialways I was able to listen to
the message where it's like Iremember, ja, like he went.
It's cause the beats likewasn't you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, he just he couldn't even listen to the
message I feel you, and that'swhat he would say about people,
not.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
You know what I'm saying I feel that.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I feel that, um, yeah , I'm a little bit of both.
It just depends.
It really just depends on whatthe situation is.
If I'm, if I'm in that mood tolike I don't know if I'm in that
mood to, you know, like, justturn up or whatever, I probably
won't necessarily care for themessage that much.
I just need something thatknock, I need the beat, I just
need something that's gonna getme ready, get me, get me right.

(04:43):
And you know, sometimes, likewhen I get off of work, I may
not want that no more, becausethat's what I've been playing
for four hours, right.
So I may want something that's,you know, a little bit more
chill, and most of the time,stuff that's more a little laid
back has a message with it,right.
So, yeah, it really.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Like I said, it just depends.
It depends on what thesituation is.
Off the top of my head, a songthat I love with the what a dope
message.
I'm trying to think.
Well, it doesn't necessarilyhave like a clear message.
You about to say something.
How about part five of Kendrick?
Oh, of course.
See, there you go, there you go,go um yeah, that was a good one

(05:28):
um dude speaking of bro, I'mstill I ain't gonna lie bro, I'm
still upset that uh scale ofdidn't get that part at uh
smyrna bro still still upset ofthat um, it's a song.
it's a song I think we hadtalked about, called cold summer
by, uh, j Cole.
It's by J Cole.
Oh, you heard it?
No, I didn't know it was J Colethough.

(05:49):
Yeah, it sounded about right,because that sounded like a J
Cole song.
But I'm trying to think whathappened.
It doesn't necessarily have adeep message or anything like
that.
It's just him talking aboutwhere he's at at that moment.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
And I just think that's dope.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I think this is him a little bit after his first
album, but a lot closer to BornSinner, because I think that was
the mixtape Truly Yours Too,and he was just talking about
where he was at at the moment,whereas he's talking about the
label, talking about we need toput out a second album, and he's
not sure if they really want toput it out.

(06:29):
Or like we met like mama, mama,we made it, I made it with this
first album, but like, hold ona second, don't, don't, don't,
don't, try to break the bank now, because if it, if this flops,
we both back to the post office.
Like, like, shit, like that.
Like he's talking about somedifferent shit.
So I just think that has a dopemessage.
And you know, beat-wise it'snot that hard.

(06:50):
You give me something withZaytoven or Tay Keith or 808
Mafia, lex Luger, he's cool, dre, I'm biased, but yeah, like,
yeah, you know different strokes, different folks and just a
whole bunch of different beatsand shit.
But yeah, y'all, let us knowhow y'all feel about that

(07:11):
Question of the day.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
That's what's interesting about, I think, just
hip-hop in general, though youknow what I'm saying.
Because, like I, feel likenowadays, like people say trap,
music and all that, it's hip-hop.
You know what I'm saying,that's what.
That's what.
That's what rap is now, youknow I'm saying like music, yeah
like that's it, you know I'msaying so for people to be like

(07:34):
oh, this isn't, you know I'msaying it kind of remind me of,
like the older folk before us.
You know, I'm saying like Imean every generation does that
that's what I'm saying.
But that's why, like when peoplesay that it's just like, oh,
these folks only listen to trapmusic like no, that's, that's
what hip-hop is now.
It's evolved, it's grown intothat it's gone.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, I mean, just like right before that it was
gangster rap, exactly.
I mean it's whatever differentstroke, different folks,
whatever good I got.
My spill of the day is withwhat are some songs that you
listened to as a kid?
And when I say kid, I mean wecan say anywhere between I don't

(08:16):
know.
I'll say 16 and under.
What's some songs that spark?
That spark?
I'll just start it off For mepersonally, honestly and
truthfully anything that cameout in 2002 could do no wrong,
no wrong, no wrong.
Anything from 2002, like I Needa Girl.
Part 1 and 2, you Don't have toCall, as a matter of fact, you

(08:37):
should just give.
Usher Like just Usher in 2002.
The Confession album.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Oh, no, that was 8701 .

Speaker 1 (08:42):
That was 04.
It was album like oh no, thatwas 8701, that was 04, that was
uh.
8701 was 2001, 2002.
Confession was 04.
But that is legendary as well.
I feel like that's one of the.
I feel like if you're black,that's a good r&b album.
You should know, yeah, facts.
But um, I will say say this asa kid, the lines were kind of

(09:06):
blurred with what was cool andwhat was corny, but we just
loved all of it.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
It was good music.
Yeah, it was just hip hop.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I know me personally, my first favorite rapper was
Nelly.
That was my first favoriterapper.
That was the furthest back.
I can remember Country Grammar,st Louis Bro, that St Louis
song.
I used to love that song.
I was in seventh grade whenthat dropped.
I remember it like my homeboyProp he's the biggest Nelly fan.
Wow yeah, he had a run, astrong run.
He did Strong run, bro.

(09:34):
I remember I used to come toschool, bro.
I'm not even gonna lie, bro, II knew the double headband.
I knew the double headband.
I didn't do the, the, the, theband name.
I brought my jersey onbackwards.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I had the jersey on backwards, I felt like the two
headband thing was.
That was a bit much.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
That was a bit much, you know.
You know I would feel like evenat that time that's a bit much.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yes, I had my jersey on backwards, had a you had to
have some ones.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, right, oh, and how can I forget, bro, I was the
like when I tell you, because Iwas like only two, this is 2000
.
I'll go back 2000, it's likeseven.
I think it was like seven oreight.
Bro, you couldn't tell me shitabout bow.
Wow, he was the cool bro.
To me he was the coolest niggaever I wanted to get cornrows.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
I wanted the jersey.
My mom was going for braids,though she was like fuck that,
you ain't getting that.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
But, bro, when I tell you Lil Bow Wow, bro, like he
was cool to me, he had a run, hedefinitely had a run.
Yeah so what's some childhoodsongs or songs that always pops
up?

scenes of video something he hadto spin around or something and
he had the the.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
He didn't have a leah's name on the jersey.

New York artists, you know.
Take a French Montana A fad.
What music they really puttingout Right now?
Right now?
No, no, I don't know.
Okay, they can come down here.
Who's the hottest producersouth?
Get your metro.
Yeah, zay, zay, sony digitalmight will, what might will now,
all of a sudden, french montanafam you know what I'm saying?

(21:30):
y'all gotta come get the saucefrom us, all right?
No, that's not like we respectwhat they did.
Right, we do, but that whole um, that new york sound, you know
like I feel the the newgeneration in new york.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
So it's that new york drill now like that pop smoke
type, right, and they got thatfrom another country exactly.
So it's that New York drill nowlike that pop smoke type, you
know what, and they got thatfrom another country, exactly so
it's like.
It's like where y'all at NewYork, you know, don't get me
wrong, don't get me wrong.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
I got a lot of New York niggas.
I listen to same here.
I'm a huge Dipset camera fan.
Yes, ain't about to already.
He's still reeling off the dipsat LOX.
I am too.
I tween.
Both of you growing up shoutout to my little cousin Jacob
he'll tell you.
Bro, jacob had the UnitedStates flag bandana.

(22:15):
I had the.
This is when niggas wearingpink.
I had a pink bandana.
Hey, ma, what's up?
I had the little diamondearrings.
I had a big-ass shit One shit totell me I had a light camera.
It was over with Missionaccomplished.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
It went as far as I was contemplating about getting
a dip set tattoo on my hand.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
It was that real.
It was real.
When they had the locks for hisDMX bottle, everybody was like
man.
We know who said it, going withit.
You know, I'm going with myboys Right Even though.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Jadakiss, I'm going to be real Jadakiss.
He had the stage presence, hedid he had the stage presence.
But you know what?

Speaker 1 (22:59):
It's me y'all talking like bro, like spit this shit,
right right you know, but that'scrazy that you said I'm going
to reel it out real quick andthen we're going to reel it back
in and go to the next segment.
But it's crazy that you saythat, because I think on a
previous episode we were talkingabout how Southern artists
really don't care about that.
So that's actually interestingthat you bring up that, like you
do about them actually rappingon the beat, not rapping on the

(23:23):
song, especially if it's a songlike, especially when they was
performing like hey Mom, likesongs that I fuck with, like bro
, I want to hear y'all rap thatshit.
You know what I'm saying.
Like I don't want to hear youknow the vocals.
Now, me personally, I feel likethe vocals are mostly like if
you're doing like a live show.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
That way get the show jumping like that.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
but I feel like man Jadison we could have listened
to the Apple music and been inthe car playing that If you was
doing a concert, yeah, that'scool, but this was what he said.
That's the Mecca of New York,right, right, right, you gotta
do it, right?
So, tanaka, this is aconversation we had off-air.
Oh, here it goes.
So, yeah, this is aconversation we had like off air
.
Oh, here it goes.
So, yeah, this is aconversation we had off air,

(24:08):
right so, lady, mama Leigh.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
The song Christina Aguilera, lil' Kim Missy Elliott
.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, I think she made the beat.
I don't think she was actuallyon the song.
So, for the people that don'tknow, there was an older song
that came out in the 70s, Ibelieve, and in the 2000s I
think it's like 2001.
Pink, christina Aguilera, mayaand Lil Kim remade the song

(24:41):
called Lady Mama Lake.
So my question of the day ifyou were to make a recent Lady
Mama Lake right now, who wouldyou have replace the singers
from back then?
My only rule is they couldn'thave been relevant when the song

(25:09):
came out, so you could pickanybody after 2001.
I guess yeah, because I thinkthe song came out in 2001, if
I'm correct.
And who would you?
Who would you have replace eachsinger and one rapper?
Who would you?
I don't know a song like that.
Oh, you don't know a song likethat at all.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
No, All I know is ETETI.
Good Lord Tanaka.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
So wait, you've never heard the song at all.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I mean I probably have, but it's more so like you
know how a song come on acommercial, and you just like
hear it, but you don't reallyknow it.
Don't really know it.
Okay, that's circumstance.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Okay, well, this makes this even more interesting
.
So this is what we're going todo Without you really even
knowing the song, a song that'slike the E-G-E-G-I-O-S-O sister,
oh sister, who are threesingers and one rapper that you

(26:13):
would put on this song withoutyou even hearing the song.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
At this point it doesn't even matter because
you've never really heard thesong and it's just kind of just
like.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I mean, I guess it's an all ladies song, right?

Speaker 1 (26:32):
so I'm trying, though , and you don't have to replace
because, like you said, you'venever heard the song before.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, I don't know the different parts.
Does Doja Cat sing?

Speaker 1 (26:46):
does Doja Cat sing?
As far as I know, yes, butshe's not like.
I don't think she's singing tothe like, to the nth degree,
like paint, christina Aguileraor Maya, but like I think she
could hold a note maybe um, Idon't know, okay.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Okay, so you said that was 2001, right, yeah, and
these were like the biggestnames, probably around that time
, like I would think so.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
I mean let's, let's think about it.
2001, would you say.
Maya was huge, because whenthey get the party started, come
out that's the pink, pink joint.
I want to say probably the sameyear, if not, if not, if not
probably like a year prior andmaya had um best of me and like,
uh, hold on, let me see maya no, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Do I know Maya's songs like that?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
I don't think I do Every time I think of Maya, I
always think of that music videoshe had where she's stalking
that dude.
It's really weird.
I don't even remember the nameof the song, I just remember she
was stalking a guy.
I be getting her confused withChristina Mignon.
Which is really odd, I ain'tgonna lie.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
That's odd because I feel like she had a hit like
around the same time, butchristina million.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Christina million didn't get a hit till like 2003.
I feel like maya's beenrelevant since like the late 90s
nah, she, she has.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
I was late on the Maya's trying to go.
I don't know why I wouldassociate Maya with Dippin' Low.
I'm trying to think of 2020people, because I feel like you
could make a 2010 version ofthis.
2020 people, because I feellike you could make like a 2010

(28:47):
version of this and I feel likeif it was a 2010 version, I
would probably put like oh no,you're actually no.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Party started, didn't even come out.
Yet it came out the same year.
Did it?
No, or did it?
I don't know?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Did it come out the same?

Speaker 1 (29:05):
year?
Yeah, it come out the same year.
Yeah, it came out the same year.
But party started, didn't evencome out yet.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
That's crazy to put in a perspective I feel like it
was a 2010s version.
I will put on keisha cole onthere.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Okay, so no, I'm going to put it in perspective
for you, right?
So I'm going to give you adescription on what the song is
about.
Wait.
So I mean, do you know what thesong is about?
She, she, I, I, that, that.
What does that mean?
Tanaka, the fuck does that meanExactly?

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Exactly Once again.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
So I'm going to read this.
Lady, mama Lay is a songwritten by doesn't matter,
originally from the disco groupdoesn't matter, the song is
famous for repeating a repeatedrefrain of Vous la vous chez à
moi?
It's French for as a part of achorus, a sexually subjective

(30:07):
line that translate into do youwant to sleep with me?
So, with that perspective, whowere?
Three singers, one rapper?
that you will put on this songthey too young, they don't know

(30:28):
nothing about that.
I bet you they don't even knowwhat song that's from.
I'll give you all the money inmy pocket if you know what song
that's from.
Only on the live, not for thisrecording.
Don't try to DM me a week laterTalking about oh, turn up, I
know that, no, but go ahead,right, right week later talking
about oh, turn up.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I know that, no, but go ahead, right.
Right, do you want to sleepwith me?
Okay, so, like the 2010sversion, I would say.
I guess I would say TrinaKeisha Cole, um Monica.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Trina Keisha Cole Monica.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, so you just need one more singer?
Yeah, just need one more singer.
That's a tough one.
I'll go Carrie Hilson, reallythat's interesting, interesting.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
see, the thing about that is it sounds like a sexual
song and I just I don't knowkeisha cole, like keisha, I
don't know any like overlysexually songs by keisha cole,
do you?
I mean, because you're an albumcut dude, so you might, you
might know about something Idon't know.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
I needed one that's like a little more safe not
necessarily, you know they'renot.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Yeah, what do you mean?
Safe, like like people wouldknow who?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
she is type, sure, like she could sing, but she's
not necessarily like she.
She could be maybe sensual, notnecessarily sexual.
Got you okay, I've never evenheard, because I feel like it's
like a pop song.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
I'll let you hear it and then maybe next week we'll
give you like you'll hear it andyou'll be like, ah, I got a
different answer, but yeah,somewhat that's my 2010s.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Excuse me 2010s, but if we were to, say like 2020 um
I'm not gonna.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
I'm not gonna lie.
My shit might be all over theplace, but yeah go ahead.
Yeah, this is where it getstough with 2020 and what's funny
that you say that, um, shoutout to dj tonic.
We were actually having thisconversation too because, like
you know, tonic knows everyfucking song on the man.
So like we were having thisconversation and we were talking
about replacing each singerwith another singer and when he

(33:05):
was like well, bro, there's nota lot of singers that are like
like, that are like singing,like because these girls on this
song are saying it, like theysaying it for real, like like
all these girls now like theyhold notes, but like they not
like saying it like real, forreal, singing type shit.
So so that that'd be the onlylike issue um dang, yeah, that's

(33:37):
true nah, but nah.
Well, it's more true, cause whenI let you hear it, you're gonna
be like I don't know about that.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well, I guess if it wasn't Keish Cole, then maybe
Jasmine Sullivan, you think yeah?
Or Jasmine Sullivan, you thinkyeah?
Or Jasmine Sullivan instead ofCarrie Hilson, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
One of them.
I've never heard Carrie Hilsonreally belly sing Like they.
That type of shit For the 2020s.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
that's going to get difficult.
Yeah, because there ain'tnobody doing no shit like that.
Yeah, I don't get difficult.
Yeah, because ain't nobodydoing no shit like that.
Yeah, I don't know who really,you know.
So I guess Sizzle Is she.
No, I'm saying like I guess shewould have to be in the I mean
she'd be in talks, for sure.
I mean she'd be in talks.
I'm trying to think, though,what's the most up-tempo SZA

(34:33):
record?

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Just Us, DJ Khaled.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Oh, All the Stars.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
All the Stars, her and Kendrick.
Are we talking features?

Speaker 2 (34:46):
I was trying to think of the song.
I feel like those are upbeat.
You know how like the song canbe upbeat, but you're just kind
of floating on the shit, right?
You know what I'm saying?
That shit.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Shout out to TJ checking in.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Shout out to TJ.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
I've just seen him today.
Tj, why you run over thatlittle girl?
Today I've seen that shit andthat was messed up because I
couldn't say nothing because themic wasn't working today.
But I'm sure, tj, man, I'mtelling y'all y'all need to get
out that fast lane.
I'm telling y'all.
Nobody want to listen to methough.
It's all good.
It's all good, y'all going tolearn.

(35:28):
Eventually Y'all going to getran over by TJ Again, and I hope
it happened Again.
Y'all better stop playing.
Anyway, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
I ain't gonna count.
I didn't know that, oh Juju.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Juju Boy, where have you been?
Nah, we need to talk.
I don't know where you've beenat, but you come from under that
rock.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
But anyway, lady Mama Lay, my bad, we getting on,
it's all good, nah, juju, Iain't seen Juju in a minute, bro
, that's what I'm saying.
You know what it is?
He's cooked, he must be cooked,he's gotta be, bro.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
He didn't even come to Nice and Slow, did he?
I don't think so.
I don't think he came to Niceand Slow.
They got him on the slave ship.
They keep an eye on him.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Make sure he don't jump off the boat, but I guess
the 2020 version would have tobe SZA.
I guess, meg Thee Stallion,since you said it's kind of a
sexual song, I ain't going tolie.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
See, and you know what's crazy With the 2010s it's
kind of hard.
It's kind of hard picking therapper, but it's crazy with the
2010s, it's kind of like hard.
Like it's kind of hard pickingthe rapper but it's easy picking
the singers, but nigga, when itcomes to the 2020s, it's hard
picking the singers, but boy,you could literally just pick
any rapper from the 2020s and begood, like you could have said

(36:48):
gloria, and that would have beenthe right answer, like but is
this like a why you see him?

Speaker 2 (36:59):
so you're saying, I'll show.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
No, no hold on if you want to.
That's all I mean.
There's no right or wronganswer.
So for people that aren't that,aren't that just got in we're
doing, lady marmalade, who wouldyou?
In 2001, they remade a songfrom the 70s.
Lady mama lay is pink, uh, mayaand christina aguilera and a
little kim.
Who would you have replacedthem in, like a recent version?

(37:22):
If you don't know the song,look it up.
Lady mama lay, pink, maya,christina aguilera.
If you don't know the song, but, um, I'm gonna show, because
there's a video to go with ittoo.
So, like, see, like when yousaid jasmine sullivan, like I'm
not gonna tell you that you'rewrong, but like yo, I can't see
jasmine sullivan in that video.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
But that's me though so like they dancing in the
video, so I'll show you thevideo and you look, bro, you
might have a differentperspective.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Shout out yoga on the check-in shout.
Shout out to Yoga.
That's crazy.
We was just talking aboutCascade.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
What do you want to call it?

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yoga.
I know you know the song.
Lady, mama Lay, who would youhave replaced?
Who would you have replaced theold singers from 2001 and put
in as new singers?
Go ahead, tanaka.
My bad, I'll just keep puttingone over here.
So wait, are you going Megan orSexy?
Because you said Nah, I'm goingMegan, megan.

(38:21):
Okay, I could definitely seeMegan in that video.
I mean, I could see Sexy Redtoo, but she'd go real ratchet
with it.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
We can say Rihanna, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Does Rihanna still make?
I mean yeah, no, I mean becauseRihanna wasn't out in 2001, so
you can say it if you want.
I mean she ain't made musicsince like 2014,.
So wouldn't that be like 2010?

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Hey, this is a tough question, man, it is.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
I mean but you're doing two though you didn't have
to do two.
Like you're doing two thoughyou didn't have to do two,
you're doing different eras andshit.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
You didn't have to do all that Did Summer Walker sing
on the up cymbal.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
I mean, she got that song X for a Reason with JT.
Have you ever heard that songbefore?
It's like 115 BPM, that song,pretty mid.
We're not talking about howgood the song is, bro, we're
talking about you guys withup-tempo.
That's an up-tempo song.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
This is the Summer Walker Rihanna.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
That's your lineup.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
I guess so Okay.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
That's your lineup, I guess.
So, okay, all right.
So here's the thing.
And, like I said, shout out DJtonic we were just talking about
.
We were talking about this likeand this is like crucial Like
with all those singers that wereon there.
They were like legit singing,like they were like like ah,
I'll settle in and like singinglike.

(39:55):
They were like like falsesettlement and like there's not
a lot of singers that do thatnowadays.
But but then you also got totake into account you gotta, you
gotta get some.
You gotta get some singers thatlike have sex appeal.
That's not hard.
There's a lot of singers thathave sex appeal and all that
shit.
So this is what I would do, forI'm not going to lie, I would
definitely have to agree withyou.
I would have Megan TheeStallion flip with Lil' Kim for

(40:18):
sure.
For Maya I would probably have,because Maya is probably not
necessary, because if you had topick a weakest link out of the
singers, I would definitely sayMaya, because Maya she's cool,
but like Christina and like Iain't gonna lie she letting them

(40:40):
white girls show out on her, Iain't gonna lie, from what I
remember I don't know, I gottalisten to the song again, but
not saying that Maya didn't doher thing.
But you know, for Maya, Iprobably will flip her with
Summer Walker Because I feellike Summer Walker could hold

(41:01):
her weight when it comes to.
You know what Maya was doing.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
See what's also tricky about this in the same
breath is that, like Pink andChristina Agilera are like more
like pop than arms.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, but I don't know if you've heard any of
their music.
They can really sing for real.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
No, that's what I'm saying.
So like it's almost like it's.
It's kind of like bruno.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Hold that thought so Tanaka shot by Tanaka.
Would you like to answer thisquestion?

Speaker 2 (41:37):
for.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
TJ.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Oh, I just had to take a break.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Yeah, you're talking shot by Tanaka right now.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
So yeah, he would like to be named as such.
It's going to be back.
Yeah's gonna.
It's gonna be back.
Yeah, my page gonna be back.
I just had to take a break.
Yeah, I appreciate it, um, butyeah, I didn't know his name was
tj, this whole yeah, no, hisname is tj too like his name was
.
I just say king ocean sometimesyeah no, I did too.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
But then he finally told me his name and I was like
wait, you're TJ too.
Like goddamn, Like both ofy'all can't be TJ Anyway, and
they both be Aguanet.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
And they both be.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Aguanet and they both know each other Like it's like
goddamn but anyway.
But yes, they are definitelypop, but like Tonic brought to
my attention that Pink can likereally sing For real, for real.
And I didn't know that, cause Idon't, I'm not gonna lie, my
Pink knowledge is like reallyminimal, but I knew Christina

(42:42):
Aguilera could sing For sure,cause I've heard her on a couple
you know.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Nah, I based, I based the Pink joint Literally off of
Get the Party Started.
Yeah, she could.
I just remember that intro Getthe party started.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
I don't think I've ever heard that.
I don't think I've ever heardthe intro, then I think I've
always just heard.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
I'm coming up and you better.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
That's the only part I know.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's crazy that you saythat, though.
So, um, my first thought I wasgonna replace Pink with Ariana
Grande, but I thought about it.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Nah, go ahead what you about to say oh, that's for
my lack lack of pop knowledge.
I don't know Ariana Grande likethat.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
No.
But then I thought about it andI was like who would I rather
see in a Lady Marmalade video?
But I don't know how I feelabout seeing Ariana Grande, I
mean because she just alwayslooks like a minor and it's just
I don't know.
That bugs me.
I know she's grown, I knowshe's grown for sure, but she
just always looks like she'slike 16.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
I ain't gonna care If you put a list of photos.
I don't know if I can pointaround.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Yes, we know, you gotta listen to black people.
We know Tanaka, we all know.
Thanks, tanaka, I'm.
I never shit that.
Ariana Grande.
Anyway, if I were to, I wouldsay my second.
No, you know what?
I put Ariana as my second.
My first, now that I thinkabout it, would be Khloe.
You know who Khloe is?

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Damn, I forgot about Khloe.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Khloe could sing for real.
Khloe could definitely.
She's been singing for years.
Her and her sister have beensinging for years and she got
the sex appeal.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Like I said when I show you that video.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
When I show you the Lady Mama Lay video, you're
going to be like ah okay, I getit.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Have you listened to them for real?
No, okay.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
But I remember them singing because the first time I
heard them sing was when theywere young.
I, because the first time Iheard them sing was when they
were young.
I've heard some of their covers.
Like I said, out of all thestrongest ones, I'd say
Christina Aguilera was thestrongest, where her I probably
would go.
Who did I pick for?

(45:08):
Who the fuck did I pick for whothe fuck did I pick for who the
fuck did I pick for Christina?
Oh, that's who I picked for.
I picked Coco Jones, but, likeyou said, now that I think about
it, I don't think I've everheard Coco Jones rap on Sing on

(45:29):
like an uptempo, like beat.
But I feel like she could,though, because she got this.
I feel like she got this sexappeal too, but it's just me.
I got to hear her on a I don'tknow.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yeah, that's a good lineup, yeah, so.
I ain't thinking about, I ain'tthinking about, I literally
don't know, that Icy U song soby.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Coco.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
I mean, I don't think I'm not going to lie, I don't
really know a lot about Coco,but I mean, hell in, I See you
she.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
So why didn't you choose Money Long, money Long?

Speaker 1 (46:07):
I forgot about her, but you know the difference
between her and Coco.
I walked past Money Long and Iknow who she is, so I couldn't
tell you if she has the sexappeal to go with it.
Coco Jones got the sex appeal.
Well, to me she did, coco.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Jones, interviewed in Slack, you said what?
No, I forgot Money.
Long's an old name.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
You said she's an old name, I forgot her old name.
You said what?
No, I forgot Money.
Long is an old name.
You said she's an old name, Iforgot her old name.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Oh, her old oh she had like a yeah.
She used to go by somethingelse.
It was like 2 Chainz type ofthing.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Yeah, oh, I'm trying to think of an old singer.
I can't think of an old singerright now, but, um, yeah, lady
Mamele.
So that was that was.
That was an interestingquestion.
Let us know who you pick foryour Lady Mamele.
Revisit, recover.
I feel like this is going to be.

(47:05):
I feel like this is going to bean interesting one.
So, tanaka, let me ask you this, this I guess we'll just say,
we'll just say, in the musicgame, as an artist, would you
rather be influential or justmake a whole hell of a lot of
money?
And why?

Speaker 2 (47:25):
you said in the music game would I be?
Would you rather be influentialor have a whole bunch of money?

Speaker 1 (47:31):
or just make a whole hell of a lot of money doing it.
Because there are some people,there are some legends.
I always put the quotes onlegends because no one really
has a real definition of what alegend is in the music game,

(47:53):
really has a real definition ofwhat a legend is in the music
game.
There are some people that likethat like have a lot of people
and interviews saying like, ohyeah, like I used to listen to
him when I was younger and I geta lot of influence, but all in
all they're really not that, notnecessarily big of an artist,
but they're like just kind of,just kind of like a.
I don't want to say kid cuddyisn't big, but like he's not

(48:15):
like mega star big, like that'snot who you think of when you
think of like mega star big, um,but like there are a lot of
artists that are like, yeah, kidcuddy, yeah, definitely like
that's like but like, let's,let's flip that drake.
I don't think I've ever heardanybody say Drake is a big
influence on them.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Oh, I have, oh, you have yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Are you saying an ample amount of people, or are
you saying that?

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Yeah, I feel like, yeah, yeah, okay, I see what
you're saying.
Yeah, I wouldn't say a lot.
Have said that.

(49:05):
Yeah, I feel like I have heardpeople reference drake as an
influence, though just in termsof.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
I mean, of course there's going to be at least one
or two or three people.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
That's gonna oh yeah, drake, yeah, hell yeah.
I used to listen to him, but Idon't hear drake you're talking
about, like, artistic influence,right, yeah, just like in terms
of, yeah, um, yeah, I could seethat, I could see that.
I see what you're saying.
Um, I really would like a blendof both, because I feel like

(49:35):
it's so.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
You know, willie Hutch I've heard of that name
before because I choose you yeah, the you know the Sanborn
International Players anthemokay, yeah, I don't think I knew
who that was, who that was hewas a soul singer from the 70s,
but he wasn't really known likethat for real.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
It wasn't until after he got older you know what I'm
saying or even passed away, thathe really got a recognition for
his music, you know.
So he's like an example.
I feel like you know who's likeinfluential but didn't
necessarily get his flowers likefor real, like when he was

(50:19):
alive, you know.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Or either, if he did, it was like when he was like 50
, 60, like real old oh, ifthat's the case, I would say
somebody like juicy jay, that'swhat I would say, but like, like
, if we're going that route,because at the time juicy I mean
juicyicy J didn't get hisflowers until maybe, like Bands
that Make a Dance.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
But I don't know.
Okay, so with that blend ofboth, where would you rather
like?
Where would you rather leantowards?

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Because, like with the influential thing, I know a
lot of.
I know a lot of artists thatlike were influential, like like
Schooley, for instance, issomebody that like was
influential for real in theAtlanta scene but probably
doesn't get recognized for it asmuch as like was influential
for real in the atlanta scenebut probably doesn't get
recognized for it as much aslike he should, and he's not

(51:17):
necessarily the biggest.
You know what I mean.
Like star, that you know,possibly for real, but um, I
also refer to like, like whatwas some dang it.
There's a handful of atlantaartists that, like are

(51:40):
influential, which is crazy thatyou didn't get no it's crazy
that you say that did she justresponded, oh she said I feel
like two changes talked aboutenough.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
When we talk about atlanta, very much so.
But the thing about and it'sfunny because I always ask the
for my folks that don't skatethere's a style of skating
called ATL ride or ATL step orstab or whatever they call it,
and I've asked them I'm like,why is it always Gucci and Jeezy

(52:11):
?
Why is it never like Pee Wee,longway or 2 Chainz?
Yeah, there's like a littlesprinkle of Wrench Homie, but
it's basically the same twopeople, right, why don't they
ever play?
Because, fuck, I feel like BFFwould be a great song to add,
but they'll just kind of look atme crazy.
But I mean, I don't know, Idon't know, I don't know, I

(52:33):
guess it's kind of uh, I don'tknow, personal preference, I
guess, but I fucking love 2Chainz so um see you know,
what's crazy about 2 Chainz islike his run was so crazy like
this is a very interesting runit was just crazy because, like
during that time period, um, Idon't know if you felt this way

(52:55):
turn up, but I felt like everylike feature that he had, he was
like dang, like what's he gonnasay?

Speaker 2 (53:01):
you know what I mean?
Like it was that type of likeanticipation of like oh, how is
he gonna?
Because he was just saying someof the like funniest things
that 2 Chainz could get awaywith.
He said something like Dance onthe White Girl called it John
Travolta in my started time.

(53:23):
What song is that?
Country, ass Ninja.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Nelly.
Nelly and TI.
That wasn't a big record.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
It was just the feature.
Shout out Big Meech.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Checking in the Meech is in the spot, but yeah, I
think I would be, because Iunderstand.
I know all these artists thatbe talking about like, oh, like
I don't get the recognition Ideserve, like I paved the way
for you know what I'm saying.
And and you know people will belike oh, they call them bitter.

(53:59):
And then like they'll be like,oh, they're bitter because
they're broke.
That's like the comments youknow, right, and that's where it
gets tricky because, like, theyhave all the influence, but
maybe the business side wasn'talways, yeah, wasn't always
taking care of that properly.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
I'm not gonna lie, bro, and you y'all could call it
selfish just give me the money,why I'm like, and honestly, I
honestly like feel, I honestlyfeel like, yeah, bro, just give
me the money, like I remember,uh okay, my bad just to
interject yeah, go ahead I thinkfor me, of course, I want to

(54:35):
make the money as long as I'mstaying true, like artistically,
to like what I want to do.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
You know, I'm saying like oh no, I mean you.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
I mean you could do that without getting the info.
I mean being influenced.
I mean being influential toanybody.
Yeah, yeah, like yeah, I'm notsaying you, yeah, I'm not saying
you got to be fake, I'm notsaying you get the money, you
fake.
I'm just saying, like, youprobably just don't get the.
You know the recognition thatyou get from other artists, Like
okay, so I don't know.

(55:06):
I feel like with me personallyand I hate to toot my own horn,
but fuck, I brought the Atlantastyle to Sparkles Gwinnett.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Do I honestly care if anybody gives me the
recognition for it?
Not really.
Absolutely oh my bad, youstupid Hell.
I held down Bell Out Mondaythrough three different owners
and it could have got swept awaylike everything else.
Do I really care about therecognition?
Not really.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
I think in the moment we don't care about the
recognition.
It's like, well, I don't know.
I feel like it's more of thosethings like we just let the
people talk.
You know what I'm saying, whenit's like we let them do people
talk, you know what I'm saying,where it's like we let them do
the recognize, like you knowwhat I'm saying, it's like I
don't need to put it out therefor y'all, y'all know what I did
, right, you know what I'msaying.
So it's like I'll let y'allspeak on it and determine it.

(56:01):
You know, and I think it's moreso like if we would ever
address it.
It's more so just to likeclarify and you know, correct,
any misunderstandings?

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Yeah, misunderstandings.
Or any assumptions yeah, yeah,like.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
No.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
Yeah.
So you know.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, I'drather just give me the money.
I always think back to DJQuick's song I don't wanna party
with you, when he says at theend I think he said, I think he
said Easy said it, I don't givea fuck about fame, I'd rather
deal with the money.
Y'all can have the name.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
That's how I feel about it.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
I feel that Honestly, I feel that and it's not like
it's not like I'm like Moneyhungry, where I'm like Just
doing like I'm investing in shit.
I got my hands in a lot ofdifferent shit.
I'm trying to get my hands in alot of different shit, yeah.
So, like I said, I'd ratherjust give me the money.

(57:02):
Y'all can put my fuck, y'allcan put the recognition shit on
my obituary.
I don't really care about that.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Honestly, the influencer joint put the
recognition shit on my obituary.
I don't, I don't really careabout that.
Honestly, the influential joint, I feel like, because the
influence could be variousthings, right, it could be
through the music, it could bejust as a person, you know, I'm
saying just yeah, okay so I okay, so I'm, I am.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
I mean, obviously we would definitely want to blend
of both, yeah, however, if Iwere to choose, I, I would
choose the money, but I mean,the influential shit could
really keep you up float.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Yeah, fakes.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Like did you think TI would still be making music
like around the time About theMoney came out?
Do you think Jeezy would stillhave a hit after All there?

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
I mean, has Jeezy would still have a hit after all
there?
Yeah, that's crazy.
I mean, has Jeezy had a hitafter all there?
Has TI had a hit after?
About the Money?
I feel like it was kind of like, you know, yeah, I mean it kept
him afloat, yeah, kept himafloat for a little longer and I
mean I'm not mad at it at all.
Yeah, him a float.
Yeah, kept him a float for alittle longer and I mean I'm not

(58:12):
mad at it at all.
Yeah, it's like, but it wasbecause of the influence you had
on these younger artists andthey were like they want to, you
know, give you the recognitionand they're still artists to
this day that are still givinggz his recognition.
I think he got a new, I thinkwell that's.
I don't think it's new, but Ithink he had a song about uh
estg, I believe.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
So you know I mean, I'm always the advocate for the
ogs and the youngins.
Linking up you know facts, soyou do that's a beautiful thing,
facts.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
I, I feel the same way, I feel the same way, but uh
uh.
So, tanaka, I have a questionfor you.
What are some songs that?

Speaker 2 (58:53):

Oh apollo by smooth ale, bro, I, that's still like.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
My favorite new york drill song is the last time you
played uh saturday I haven'tplayed that during the minute I
ain't kept bro of all the.
For some reason, I always havea hard time finding that song in
my serato.
I don't know why.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Just for I don't know is that the one I gave you?

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
no, no, oh, you're talking about just, oh, okay, I
just never remember.
You know what it is.
I don't remember the title ofthat song apollo, I know, and
for some reason I just think, oh, baby, that's this right not,
um, maybe that's when this.
Oh, new Apollo's.
Okay, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Anyway.
So to revert, to reverse backto Tanaka, you know, uh, never
enough.
Time is another one.
Anytime I hear that song.
Um, fucking uh, trapped in thesun, cause every time I think of
that song I Trapped in the Sun,because every time I think of
that song I think of when we hadfirst met and you kept playing
that fucking song.

(01:02:36):
Like I said, I never know if itwas because you just liked that
song or you just kept repeatingthe mixtape or the album,
whatever that was trying tothink.
Oh, sexy Love AC.
Oh, pussy Nig, pussy nigga acas well.

(01:02:57):
Uh, oh, my bad pussy nigga bynot calling you pussy nigga ac.
Um, um, anytime I play bankrollfresh when uh, eddie's around
with dead fresh eddie child dead, fresh eddie rotation rotation
movement.
Honestly, a lot of old Atlantashit when I played around Eddie,
cause like he always get hypedwhen I play old Atlanta shit.
Now I will say this theopposite, the opposite will like

(01:03:25):
get me, will get me excited aswell.
Anytime I play like Chief Keefwith my homeboy uh, cedric, he
fucking hates chief keith.
Anytime I play that, he likegets upset and why he just don't
like well, he's an older guy,he's like he's like well, he's
not old, he's like probably likemid 30s, like mid, maybe mid

(01:03:48):
30s.
Because I feel like when I waslike, I feel like when I was
like 19, 18, 9, no, when I waslike 19 or 20, he was like 24,
25, 26 so what's crazy is that,like unbreakable, used to always
play chief keith and I couldn'ttell if he was like trolling me
or if he like, actually, like,actually effed with it.
You know, I had some homeboysthat actually really fucked with

(01:04:09):
chief keith and I did not seethere's one song.
There's literally one song.
Well, two, if we're counting, Idon't like, but I really don't
count.
I don't like because I feellike I really liked it because
of, uh by the way I might playthat.
I might play it tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
I don't know, I might , just there's something about
the simplicity of that song, butit's just like the kiss method
man man, I'm telling you bro,that Kiss Method is real.
But you know what?
Who was it?
I think I want to say it was 50Cent talking about it.
He was actually analyzing thatrecord as to why it was so big,
so big, oh, okay, he was like A.

(01:04:43):
When you think about it,everybody has something they
don't like.
So A is very relatable hassomething they don't like, so
the a is like very relatable.
On top of that, the video.
The way they shot the video isvery relatable to just anybody
because he shot it in like hisgrandmother's like.
It looks like just all right,it's like grandma's room or like

(01:05:05):
like a room the living room.
You know what I'm saying likeso it's like any kid could have
did that.
And then it's just.
You know, all the homies liketurning up and I was.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
I feel like that was like the first, but I could be
wrong, I don't know.
I feel like that was one of thefirst music videos like that,
yeah, to blow up right, likeniggas was making videos like
that before then, but like, Ifeel like that was like the
first big video of like maybejust making shit on the iphone,
or or maybe he did have some bigshit, I don't know.
But yeah, um, I will say this.

(01:05:37):
Another thing, another uh stuffthat gets me excited shout out,
uh, shout out.
Jay, she's one of the dancers atgo rush.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
If I'm assuming, ladies and gentlemen, if I'm

about Cold Turkey.
Yes, hopefully I'm right, Idon't know Cold Turkey.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
it is, bro bro.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):

I fucking love that song.
Go get low Samoa.
Like I said, it's simple, it'sjust Go get low Samoa, bitch.
But yeah, that's another oneI'm trying to think.

(01:09:28):
Is there anything else I canthink of?
It gets me excited.
Uh, I feel like there'ssomething I'm missing I'm trying
to.
I know there's some rmb jointsokay, yeah, they're not, they're
not coming to me right now asfar as uh well, I'll say I guess
I'll say you remind me by Usher, because I was a huge Usher fan

(01:09:50):
.
I just remember that video sovividly.
I remember as a youngin I justused to try to find the video
version of the audio because Ialways liked that little
breakdown part where he startsdancing in the middle of the
street.
I've always loved that part Iwould probably say that when the
party at Jagged Edge, becauseit just reminds me of the summer

(01:10:11):
.
It just reminds me of thesummer and it's just such a yeah
.
So Dream Girl by R Kelly,because it's just, it just
reminds me of my mom when shebumped that album and that was
Because that was my favoritesong on that album and that was
well that, because that was likemy favorite song on that album.
Um, I'm trying to think anyother songs that get me excited.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
Uh, I guess Home Alone by R Kelly just cause that
.
Uh, that holds like a lot ofnostalgia for me.
Um, R&B.
I don't know.
I feel like it's over Sundaywhen you be playing, I'm getting

(01:11:00):
hype, but I can't remember therecords that you be playing,
that you be like getting hype.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
I really gotta find that side high song I played
cause you were singing word forword and, what's funny, I didn't
even know the song.
Was it Rise?
I really got to find that sidehigh song I played Because you
were singing Word for Word and,what's funny, I didn't even know
the song.
Was it Rise?
No, it wasn't Rise, it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Rise.
Rise is the Maybach joint thatI'll never forget because I
played it randomly.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
You still be playing that some Sunday or no, I mean
less, but I play it sometimes.
But no, I'll never forget Rise.
I might have to play thatsometimes, but, um Nah, I'll
never forget Rise, I might haveto play that now.
What Rise?
I ain't heard this, that'sgreat.
Yeah, that's the only songs Ican think of off the top of my

(01:11:43):
head.
I feel like there is more.
Okay, I'll drink water in aminute, hold on.
Yeah, I don't know I can'tthink of none.
that's all I got yeah, I thinkwe're good on it, man yeah,
we'll probably drop this on thestory to see what songs get
everybody excited and all thatshit.

(01:12:03):
I don't know figure that out,yeah, but uh, so yeah what we
got next the best of bars.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
Shout out to molly, she being hype when thug come on
shout out to Molly yeah, Iforgot about that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
Yeah, molly, yeah, and he's thug like and that's
and just well, I guess fuck, butit's not really reeling it out
because we're fucking stilltalking about it anyway.
So, um, trap Fever, when I wasplaying all that thug like.
All that thug I was playing wasthe shit that used to have the
parties going like.
But it's crazy that some people, a lot of people, don't know
about it because they probablyjust weren't there at the time,

(01:12:35):
but like was it pull up on thekid, pull up on the kid and
slime shit.
Those two songs used to havethe parties lit like, like.
At that at that point, remember, I said how kk like, oh well,
gang signs, it's a good signwhat's of response did the
Blankwoods Used to get?
It was a.

(01:12:55):
It was a.
It was a party starter, but itwas cool.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
Since.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Since hip hop expands so much by the way, shout out
to hip-hop, it turned 50 yearsold this year, big time Since
hip-hop has expanded todifferent little sub-genres like
hip-hop or gangster rap ordrill music or you know, I don't

(01:13:32):
know, just a whole bunch ofother genres of sub genres of
rap.
Do you think?
Do you think trap soul shouldbe like, considered a like a
real deal genre?
Cause when I think of trap soul, I think of like like the

(01:13:55):
singers that are singing, butlike have like hard, like I mean
, they have like melodies.
They have a lot of melodies intheir, you know, in their music
like like a, a Boogie or like ahell.
Even Bryson Tiller, I mean, hehad the whole mixtape called
Trap Soul, but Rod Wave, hell,he probably put Lil Baby in

(01:14:19):
there too.
Just like folks like that.
Do you feel like Trap Soulcould be a could be a real, real
genre?
Yeah, I feel like it could be areal genre.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Yeah, I feel like it could, especially with now,
because I feel like a lot ofolder folk be feeling like it's
a lot of trap music.
But I feel like, as I said onearlier episodes, I feel like
that's what hip-hop is now, forthem to call it trap music, like
, yeah, it is trap, but likethat's that's kind of what

(01:14:54):
hip-hop is turned into.
You know, like that's like the,the natural kind of sound bed
for a lot of the music you knowI mean hip-hop, hip-hop still do
exist, but I feel like hip-hopis always changing and evolving.
You know, like you don't, youdon't got rappers.

(01:15:14):
You know rapping how they usedto in the 90s.
You know it's always the soundof it is always changing.
So, um, I think that that's.
You know I could respect thattrap solo for sure, because a
lot of folk that just be traprapping for real.
But then you know just folksthat it'd be blurring the line

(01:15:35):
between, like, sing, singing andrapping.
And I know me and turner havealways had this uh, you know
conversation just with differentartists because they be, you
know, real melodic with the flowand delivery, to the point
where you don't even know if,like, is that the new generation

(01:15:57):
R and B?
Or is that just like?
You know how the rappers arerapping nowadays?

Speaker 1 (01:16:03):
Right, like, uh, I know one person that I kind of
just like squint my eyes at isPost Malone.
Like, I know one person that Ikind of just like squint my eyes
at is Post Malone.
Like, I know that wouldn'tnecessarily be Trap Soul.
I mean, some of his stuff couldbe Trap Soul, but like it's
just, some of his stuff is kindof gray area and it's like, is

(01:16:26):
that really hip-hop?
But I mean, I don't know,hip-hop was always founded on
the grounds of there are norules, and I brought that up
before.
So you know, yeah, I don't know.
But I definitely think Trap Soulcould be like another sub-genre
of hip-hop, to like kind ofseparate, like you know, the

(01:16:52):
melodic folks from like thehip-hop folks.
Because I mean there, I meanit's not a lot, but there are
still some hip-hop folks likethere, um, off the top of my
head I can't really think of.
I mean okay, so I mean you gotestg.
He, I've never heard himmelodically.
I don't think I've ever heardhim melodically rap.
Um, I don't think I've everheard him melodically rap.
Iceware, iceware, vesso, isthat his name?

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
Yeah, I don't know so much about bro, but yeah, I
don't either, but a lot of them.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
Well, nah, because I've heard a couple of Detroit
folks Melodically rap, I'mtrying to think, like King Von,
lionel, king Von, yeah, like Alot of those folks don't like
they just strictly rap and Ifeel like it's kind of I don't
know, it's kind of weird whenyou put them in the same

(01:17:41):
category as a ride wave cause,like I don't know, it's just, I
don't know.
I feel like there should besome separation, there should be
some separation in that.
But I don't know, maybe thatfeel like there should be some
separation, there should be someseparation in that, but I don't
know, maybe that's just mebeing an old head, but I don't
know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
Yeah, I could see that.
I just I'd be wondering whatthe?
I feel like that's a questionwe got to ask the younger folk.
You know, see what they Opinionis on it?
Because I don't know.
You know, see what they, whatthey uh opinion is on it,
because I don't know.
It's always interesting to hearwhat they got to say about it
for real, you know, hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
For sure Makes sense.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Cause I don't know for them.
You know, like when they youknow how it is when you were
young and like when you justlisten to music, like that's all
you know how it is when you'reyoung and like when you just
listen to music, like that's allyou know.
So it's like like that's why Iwent with Wild Wave.
Like some of them are just like, oh yeah, that's hip hop,
because like that's what theythey may have like started
listening to hip hop with allthat melodic, you know, rapping

(01:18:44):
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
So definitely difficult to say and I was going
to say that we did too, butnever mind, we didn't have as
many as as a, as a as a kid,like there's probably like, like
, maybe like here and there typething, like, but yeah, but I
don't know, for for me I feellike I don't know.

(01:19:06):
Maybe, maybe, maybe I can't putmyself in the shoes of like a
normal music listener, but Iknow, for me, I went back and
did my homework on certainartists like, or even just
hip-hop period, like there aresome folks I know about that I
probably would never listen to,but I I know about them, right.
So I don't know, I don't know,it's's different, but yeah.

(01:19:31):
