Speaker 2 (00:29):
my song of the day.
There's a song from 2003, sothis was definitely still the
time that I was still a bow wowfan, but this was this was
definitely an interesting timebecause Bow Wow was growing up
and you can hear it in his voice, his voice starting to deepen
(00:49):
up.
So around this time he came.
He came out with his singlelet's Get Down, by the way
that's not the name of the song.
But that's when I was like, ohwow, like he's growing up.
I'm growing up too, so like it'scool, or whatever I think he
was like 16, I think he justturned 16 or some shit like that
, I don't know.
But my mom knew that I was abig bow wow fan, so like she
(01:14):
bought me his album, theunleashed album, and there was a
song on there which is the songof the day, called the dime the
dutch, and I just thought thatsong was like the dopest song,
like it just had a cool littlevibe to it, like you can, like
you know two-step, like it'slike just a cool little vibe
song and I was actually upsetthat he didn't do anything with
(01:35):
it except make it like a littlesnippet video on um.
On what?
What video was that?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I think that was Baby .
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Do you remember that song?
He had a song called Baby withJagged Edge.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It was around that time.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, Ionly knew about let's Get Down.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Let's Get Down.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I mean, I don't want to divert, I need a side note.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Right?
No, I feel you.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Do you know how Birdman was involved with that
record?
So I heard about.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So I heard about um, uh, bow, wow, falling off with
uh, jermaine, jermaine dupreeand so so deaf, so he kind of
slid in.
Yeah, okay, okay, kind of kindof.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I was just like.
This is so random, bro, youjust got birdman over the like
bow whistle yeah, yeah, thatshit was weird.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I was like yeah, no, yeah, I was like where did he?
Come from.
No, that, definitely that, bro.
That definitely was weird, yeah, but nah, so, um, yeah, so if
you ever go back and check out,uh, it's crazy that you say this
, because I actually did revisitlike bowers whole catalog
really.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, I just I took the time out.
I was like you know what, letme just go through all his
albums, you know?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I mean because I don't think I really listened to
his early stuff, I just knewthe singles but I never actually
heard the album, so I did checkout unleash, unleash, yeah so,
um, yeah, so that was one of thesongs that I actually used to
like off the unleash album.
Those are.
That's one of the actual songsI can remember from off the
Unleashed album, because I don'tthink, to be honest with you, I
(03:09):
think that was one of thosealbums I only heard, maybe like
at that time, a lot.
I've heard that album a lot,but after that time I kind of
just I either lost the physicalalbum or something should happen
.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
But to really back in donna, dutch is a cool little,
you know vibe song, I think Iwant to say, uh, the neptunes
make that I just about to askyou who produced.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yes, the neptunes made that beat and you could
definitely tell because it's acool.
Like I said, it's cool littlevibe and was actually fast
forward to when I startedgetting into skate DJing.
Right, I used to go back and belike okay, so like what are
some songs that I remember frommy past life that I can bring
(03:56):
into the skateboard?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
And that was one of the first songs.
I was like man, I could reallyplay this song, but the thing
about the song is unfortunatelynow bow wow has a perception,
has a really corny perception,right like he's just seen as a
cornball, so like listening tothe song.
Now they call me bow wow likeit just sounds really corny, but
(04:21):
like I used to play theinstrumental a lot, so so wait.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So you learned of the song from the album, not the
video from the album yeah, yeah,from now on just one, just one.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So I learned it from the album and then like fast
forward they came out with thevideo for the baby song right
the baby song.
And then you know, like I saidback in the day, they had the
snippet videos inside the videos, right, I think he was like
watching tv.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
And then, you know, like I said back in the day,
they had the snippet videosinside the videos.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I think he was like watching TV.
And then like he had on likesuits and he was dancing with
other people.
It was the Donny Dutch stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So yeah, like I said, fast forward to.
When I started skate DJing, Iwas like I remember this song
and I was.
Yeah, I was like I rememberthis song and I was like I could
definitely add this in.
And what's funny is I had acouple skaters like, yeah bro,
this beat is crazy.
The song, I don't know so muchyeah, so, yeah, so if you
(05:15):
haven't heard of the song theDawn of Dutch, I would
definitely recommend you checkit out.
If you are a skater, I woulddefinitely recommend you listen
to the song because that's acool little vibe to it for you
to you know I mean, I don'treally I'm not a real stepper
like that, like a chicago, butit seems like a cool little step
song, but that's a cool littlesong, so that, yeah, that's my
(05:36):
song of the day.
Bow, wow's the don.
The dutch song of the day is,um, actually pretty interesting.
It's a song I discovered on aworld star and I'm actually mad
they never came, like he never.
He didn't make this a single.
But, um, it's a song by a RickRoss.
(05:56):
It's featuring a Lil Wayne andBirdman caught up Veterans Day.
You ever heard of the songTamar?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I don't think I heard of it.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So the record is interesting because it's a dope
song, but, like they never didanything with it.
And it was weird because, like,like I said, the song is dope,
I don't know what the fuck.
I don't know, maybe theycouldn't find the clearance or
the copyright or whatever, butcouldn't find the clearance of
the copyright or whatever.
But it could have went on Wayneor Rick Ross's album.
(06:27):
This song came out like 2010.
So well, no, now I think aboutit if it would have to have gone
on Rick Ross cuz I think TeflonDon came out 2010.
Right, because I know Waynedidn't drop anything in 2010 no
(06:53):
ceilings, no ceilings from 2009.
But um yeah so, but um yeah.
So apparently I didn't know thatit was on any mixtape, but
apparently there's a mixtapeRick Ross came out with called
the timeless art.
Amar forget collection didn't,didn't know this mixtape existed
(07:17):
, but child's rap genius.
Apparently it was um track twoon the mixtape.
Like I said, the beat is dope.
It's an interesting, it's avery interesting beat and you
know, wayne is just in hiselement.
Wayne is in his element in thisfucking song and Rick Ross is
smart to let him start off thesong and you know Birdman,
(07:41):
birdman's Birdman, and Rick Rossis just Rick Ross.
I mean they held their own.
But I mean, of course, you gotto give the crown to Wayne.
I remember the video for beinglike.
It's like one of those videoswhere they're nowhere and
they're like in front of a greenscreen.
Well, they're not.
Well, yeah, they're in front ofa green screen, but I think
it's like fire and sparks justplaying behind them or whatever.
(08:02):
And it fire and like sparksjust playing behind them or
whatever, and it's just yeah,there's just nowhere and they're
just rapping type shit.
So there's an actual video forthis, and what's crazy about the
video is that, like I remember,like I said, I've seen the
video.
I discovered the video onworldstar and for some reason,
like between 2010 and now, thevideo was really hard to find
(08:23):
and I don't know why.
I don't know if it was becauseof they just dropped the video
because of copyright reasons orwhatever, but it was really hard
to find.
And then after a while it cameback up, but they only had the
one with the world starwatermark on it, so I'll let you
hear the song when we're donewith the podcast oh so Justice
(08:47):
League made the.
When we're done with thepodcast oh so Justice League
made the beat.
Justice League made the beatand it definitely, now that I
think about it, it definitelygives a Ross vibe.
So it would definitely fit moreon a Ross project than anybody
else's, because, honestly andtruthfully, you could really put
that on anybody's.
Any of them could have came outwith a project and you could
have put it on any of them,because there's no chorus,
chorus, there's no chorus, andeverybody has one verse.
(09:08):
It's Wayne Berman Ross and,yeah, it was released November
11th, in 2010, and the samplesare slipping into the darkness
by war and you are my starshipby Norman Connor, and shout out
(09:32):
the rap genius.
They actually have oneinteresting fact about this.
So apparently, the song the,released on the 11th hour, 11
day of the 11 month, oh, a songto commemorate our fallen
soldiers.
Basically that's yeah, yeah.
Shout out to Ross, if you'relooking for a song that has a
(09:57):
dope Justice League beat, likethose typical, and it gives you.
It definitely gives you like anot necessarily a Maybach music
vibe, but like I don't reallyknow how to explain it, you just
gotta hear it.
But if you want to hear Wayneand his element for real, for
real, I'd highly recommend youlisten to this song.
Let's turn up.
Song of the day bed of his dayyeah, song of the day, yeah,
(10:25):
song of the day, yeah, 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 this song is a track thatblends humor and bragging,
(10:48):
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
(11:13):
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
(11:36):
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 1 (11:48):
no, I, I ain't gonna.
I have no idea that was.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
That was like that was a long description dude so
uh with that being said, my songof the day is father featuring
I love mcconin featuring keylook at wrist, tanaka.
Could you imagine that thatthat is the description of look
(12:12):
at wrist yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Uh, I don't know who wrote that one sweet baby jesus.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
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
(12:41):
going to go off of YouTube July2014.
The track is on one of hisprojects.
It's track number five onFather's Project Young Hot Ebony
Tanaka.
Have you ever heard Young HotEbony?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I think that's the only Father's track I've ever
heard.
No, I've not heard Young.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Hot Ebony.
It's released off his hisrecord label, awful Records
Tanaka.
Are you familiar with AwfulRecords?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I am familiar with.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Awful Records.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Do you have any other , any other tidbits on Awful
Records?
I want to say Ugly Guy, I thinkUgly.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Guy was on Awful Records.
I'm not sure, though, boy, wipethe dust off that one boy.
Ugly guy, I drip on your beatlike water, but anyway, we're
gonna talk about a 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.
Uh, drake, uh, credited, I meanuh, or shouted out the song on
(13:53):
his instagram.
Um, on his instagram in 2014.
So you know, if drake isbacking you, then you know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You know you got some mcconin was signed right to
drake at the some.
Makonnen was signed right ToDrake after the song.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I think he was signed to Awful Records actually, oh,
okay, and then he may I don'tknow, he may have had a
partnership.
You know, it gets real fishywhen it gets to the.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
We got to figure when did Tuesday come out?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No idea.
But if you can, whenever you'redone, doing what you're doing,
look that up for me.
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
(14:44):
the rapping.
It it's just like so laid backand lazy.
But I fuss with it because, bro, this is like 2014,.
2015.
We're talking about Like thisjoint will start up any cypher
of, like you know, the nae, naeor whip or weed or whatever the
case, like it'll start up thecircle Wrist, wrist, wrist,
wrist, wrist, wrist, wrist ofany, like anything.
(15:05):
So that's what made me, that'swhat caught the attention of
that song to me.
But, um, 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.
(15:27):
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 I don't know.
(15:49):
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
into it, he's, and then I wantto keep it.
(16:10):
Woo, look at God, and so, butMcCone is, he just has this
chain on his face and he's justfucking.
I don't know what the fuck he'sdoing.
It's so weird.
It's just like they just, theyjust and key, he can't even
remember his part.
Like he's rapping it, but likehe's like he doesn't even
remember the part.
(16:31):
Like bro, this song is justlike I don't know it's hilarious
, just the video, and I don'tknow.
I gotta show you the videobecause I know you would
appreciate how this is yeah,I've seen the video.
Oh, you've seen the video, so Iknow exactly what you're talking
about that's why it's so funny,it's just like I don't know,
(16:51):
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 atlanta,like blue house, um 40 griffin,
(17:12):
like just the clubs.
Like I didn't really go to alot of the clubs, I was in more
of the like the house partyscene 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, like talk aboutjust a hidden gem in Atlanta.
Bro, like that song is likeAtlanta, like legendary gold,
(17:38):
like talk about it.
I know you always talk aboutstreet classic Tanaka.
I feel like that song is astreet classic, absolutely.
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.
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
(18:05):
forgot how we got on theconversation.
Maybe tanaka will be able totell, but we started talking
about the song and I was like,bro, I swear to god, if you play
that song, I would like.
Bro, we got to be friendsforever, like.
And so he played it and bro, Ijust remember, I just remember
somebody being in the dj boothand I had hopped on top of the
fucking.
I had hopped on top of thefucking, I had hopped on top of
(18:25):
the DJ booth, started dancingand shit, and she just kind of
looking like what the fuck ishappening right now.
So those are the two things Ialways think about, about, uh,
when look at risk comes on,that's always what I think about
.
But um, and of course you know,look at risk, the father made
(18:47):
the beat.
So I mean, he couldn't,couldn't.
Yeah, you know, it wasn't inthe budget for him to get a real
big producer.
So you know, father had to goon the beat.
But shout out to father man, um, but um.
Last thing uh, criticsappreciated the song's playful
and irreverent nature, which isset apart from most of the
(19:09):
mainstream hip-hop tracks.
At the time, the collaborationbetween Father, olive, makoni
and Key was also highlighted asa key factor in the song's
success to, if you want to lookat, if you want a little sneak
peek of like what it was lookinglike in the mid, the mid 2010s.
(19:30):
You definitely need to checkout.
Uh, I love, I love mcconin keyand fathers look at wrist
because, yeah, that, yeah, yeah,that's that's, that's a, that's
a song, just for its time.
It's just a beautiful song.
Tanaka, you were about to saysomething.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, man, this is definitely one of the essentials
that me and Turner became cooland I think that we be forget
like, like, look, I don't get mewrong, I know I'll be talking
lyrics, this lyrics that youfeel me.
(20:14):
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 havefun, bro.
You know what I'm saying and Ithink I think that's why the
record is so great, becausethey're they're just having fun,
bro.
(20:34):
You know what I mean?
It's a fun record, so like,yeah, man, that's a, that's
atlanta classic street classic.
You can't tell me nothingdifferent.
Not at all, it may end up at a2010s party by turn.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
You never know, oh absolutely, you never know, man
2010s.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Just be on the lookout, man.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
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 they know it,you know it, I'm playing it for
me, like at that point.
But yeah, so yeah, man, dj turnup.
Song of the day.
Father shout out to father.
(21:13):
Look at the father man song ofthe day song of the day.
Yep, song of the day.
So my song of the day is a songfrom like 2002.
Let me ask you this uh tanaka,javier, are you familiar with
the group the rough ends?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
as in, like david ruffin no, the rough ends oh,
rough ends.
R-u-f-f, e-n-d Z.
Yes, I am.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My song of the day are from them.
They had a song in 2002 calledSomeone To Love you.
Are you familiar with that song?
That song is special to mebecause that's one of those
songs that I can definitelyremember my mom playing when we
were in the townhouse back whenI was young.
So something about that is thatif you're into like R&B music
(22:14):
that like has rhythm and blues,like you can feel the music.
It's definitely, it'sdefinitely a song for you.
So I'm not going to lie, like Isaid, it was one of the songs
my mom used to play.
I didn't really care for itwhen I was younger, but as I got
older and I listened to itagain with a different ear, I
(22:35):
definitely could appreciate it alot more.
And as I got older, I couldappreciate it a lot more because
it just has so much emotionRight, it has blues, you feel it
.
I can appreciate it a lot morebecause it just has so much
emotion, right, that blues, youfeel it.
And so one interesting thingabout this song is the music
video.
Have you ever seen the music?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
video.
I don't believe I have so themain character in the?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
well, I don't think it's the main character, but the
main actress in the video isMelinda Williams.
Okay, you ever heard of MelindaWilliams?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The name sounds familiar, but I'm not putting a
picture to it.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
So she was in movies that I've seen that she was in.
She was in First Sunday and theWood.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Which one was she in the Wood?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I don't remember, but I do know on First Sunday she
was the.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
She was wait, have you ever seen First Sunday?
No, I haven't seen First Sunday.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It wasn't good enough for you.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
No, I just I didn't.
I don't think it was on myradar.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I'm trying to think I don't remember who she was.
I feel like she was the girlthat got her butt smacked, but I
don't think it was her, thoughit may have been.
(24:13):
Think about it.
She was doing the double dutchand he smacked her butt and then
she was the game maker yeah shewas in um, she was in ottawa
and she was in uh, daddy'slittle girl as well.
I don't know if you've everseen.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.
No, she's definitely one of theones you have to see.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, I know who does like pull a video, like pull a
video real quick, yeah, you'llnotice her, but yeah, so, um,
yeah, she, um, she's main, she'sthe main girl they singing
about in the video.
Yeah, gotcha, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
And then um, Do they only have one album?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I believe they had a couple of them.
Okay, but, um, but yeah, Ibelieve they had a couple of
them, but the video I was goingto say you can literally play it
from the beginning.
She's in the video the wholetime.
Yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
She's the waitress.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
You know they started with the waitress, but no, the
beat is just like it catches you.
I'm not familiar with eitherone of their names, but he's
playing the piano and it's likekind of got the groove going.
So the beat was made by, or theproducer of the song was Corey
(25:18):
Rooney and Troy Alligard.
Are you familiar with eitherone of those people?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, more so as writers, songwriters, I think.
I don't know about producers.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
So, yeah, this is okay.
So this is the information Ifound out afterwards, right when
I started doing research on thesong.
So well, corey Rooney is theone that's the songwriter.
He songwrote and helped produceit as well, but he's worked
with folks like Mariah Carey,mary J Blige, jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I think I recognize them from his work with Mary J
Blige.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
What songs, if you can get on top of your head, are
you just going to?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I want to say for the Breakthrough album.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
That's the Be Without .
You Be Without you and MJ beatMVP, yeah, that album and, yeah,
you can't get no bigger thanthis Michael Jackson, mm-hmm.
So, and Troy Oliver was a wasjust a producer.
He was a producer but he, like,actually played instruments and
(26:29):
shit yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
who did he so?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
he produced Jenny from the Block, I'm Will and
Differences.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Okay, yeah, I definitely recognize him from
that.
Then With Troy Oliver yeah,yeah, because, yeah.
With Troy Oliver yeah, yeah,because, yeah.
Anyway, I be putting theproducers in when I put the song
in, so like that's how I usedto come across all these names.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
So, yeah, well yeah, Cool little soulful song.
What is he talking about?
Here you go.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
He sent you a song pack bro, you got to listen to
him.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Anywho.
And you know what's funny,that's how random.
He'll just come to the boothI'll be talking about or doing
something like my job.
Yeah, hey, you got to do itAnywho.
Yeah, hey, you got to do it.
I'm like I hate it anywho.
Um, but uh, chart wise, thehighest it got on the billboards
(27:32):
was 49 and it got 12 on R&B.
So it's pretty.
It's pretty successful, prettysuccessful album.
I mean successful album, prettysuccessful song.
And um, yeah, rough ends.
Um, someone will love you if youinto some Some R&B, r&b music
with a little substance in it,right, and make you feel
(27:53):
something.
I would definitely recommendyou listen to it.
Ruffins, someone to love you.
It's my song of the day.
So it feels like it's been along time coming for this song,
but all right.
So Young Guns always end upbringing up one song classic.
(28:15):
It's funny.
When I first heard this song,it was one of those songs that
had that was a snippet from avideo, from a video, and the
video was from a song they hadcalled.
Set it off.
At the end they would playanother song and that's my song
of the day.
It's called tonight.
(28:36):
So what's interesting aboutthis song is that the young guns
are from where?
Where is young?
Where are they from?
Are they from new york?
Are they just from phillyphilly?
They're from philly, but thesong has a west coast feel.
I don't remember who made thebeat, but let's go ahead and
(28:57):
look that up um chad west on thetrack chad west.
Oh yeah, he does say that on thesong right.
Chad West, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know any other songsChad West is famous for?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
He's produced a lot of Young Guns records, so if
you've heard Young Guns albums,you've definitely heard his
production.
Yeah, I can't think of theexact song titles.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So was the Young Guns a so like?
Was it like Young Guns likejust brought up like his, like
they partners from like likewhen they were young or
something like that?
I mean like when they like fromcoming up, like from the come
up type shit.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I'm not sure.
Chad West, I just know that hewas like a Philadelphia producer
so he used to produce on just alot of Philly rappers.
He used to produce on just alot of Philly rappers.
Mainly state property at thattime.
But yeah, I guess Young Gunskind of had their in-house.
(30:15):
It was like Just Blaze.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
And he was one of the in-house yeah.
So, like I said, what'sinteresting about this song is
that, like, these dudes are fromPhilly and it has a huge West
Coast feel on it.
So I guess it was only rightthat they put a West Coast
artist on it.
So it's Young Guns featuringDaz Dillinger, like you said.
(30:40):
Yep, chad, apparently his nameis chad hamilton.
Yep, chad hamilton shout out to.
Chad hamilton produced thatbeat.
That was off of um, the song isfrom their second album,
brothers from another, brothersfrom another, and it is track
four, track number four.
(31:02):
Um, I just like how.
I just like how everybody likehow um who starts the song, it's
, uh, uh, young chris.
I definitely like how youngchris is, like, bouncing on the
(31:23):
beat, like in the beginning.
He definitely sets the song offright, like I really feel like,
like he really set that songoff right.
And then, of course, veryunderrated rapper, dad dillinger
.
He definitely, you know, bringsthe west coast feel, because
you know from the west coast,type shit.
And you know at that, the WestCoast feel because you know he's
from the West Coast, type shit.
And you know, at that pointhe's definitely a veteran,
(31:45):
definitely a veteran in the game.
So he just brings his highenergy and his West Coast vibe.
And you know I'm not a lot.
I really remember a lot aboutYoung Nese part, but uh, but um,
I mean it must have been okaybecause it's like one of my
favorite songs.
But yeah, definitely a youngprincess still laying up on
(32:08):
things how pounds of game.
You know great yeah well, yeah,no, I think I remember you and
it's a friday, I ain't gonna lie, that's my shit, bro.
(32:29):
Like well, obviously, if youcan't tell this, I'm trying to
song today, but yeah, it's acool little west coast, cool
west coast vibe and yeah, if youlook for songs for a real cool
west coast vibe, you know, andthey basically talking about you
, you know, hitting the party,they don't get fucked up tonight
, chad.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
West was upset bruh, chad.
West was upset man.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
That's interesting.
So is he from Philly too?
You know he is.
So they are from Philly, Gotyou?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, chad West was upset though, because, as you
mentioned, the video cuts tothat record, but Chad West isn't
in the video, so he's just like, yeah, bro, that record, but
Chad West isn't in the video,and so he's just like, yeah, bro
(33:25):
, like you could at least waitfor me, or something like that.
It just makes it seem likeSwizz Beatz produced the record,
because Swizz yeah, becauseSwizz may have set it off right.
Yeah, and he's also in theTonight video, so it's like
night video.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
So it's like people thought that he swiss produced
that record and not chad woods.
So, uh, I mean okay, well, yeah, I could see that.
Yeah, just for just perception.
No, it's definitely perception,because I was about to be like
wait, why would they think thathe literally said you know, you
got my.
But I mean that, I mean thatcould be anybody.
So I guess that makes sense.
I guess that makes sense, yeah.
(34:06):
But but look well, look here,I'm going to just give you, I'm
going to go ahead and give you aroses.
Chad West, that's my shit, ifthat makes any difference.
Chad West, that's my shit.
You did your thing on that beatLove to bounce, love the bounce
, love.
The West Coast feel.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
We gonna have to find the Instagram to tag you.

But yeah, if you looking for asong with a West Coast feel West
Coast vibe, like an old WestCoast vibe, make sure you check
out Young Guns featuring DazDillinger tonight.
That's the turn up song of theday.
(34:48):
My song of the day is Ashanti'sHappy.
According to Wikipedia, happyis a song by Ashanti from her
self-titled debut album.
The track was written by ShantiFrom her self titled debut
album.
The track was written by Shanti, cheek Santana and Irv Gotti,
with production overseen byCheek Santana and Irv Gotti.
(35:13):
The Song contains samples fromthe Gap bands, outstanding so
Tanaka.
Do you know who Chink Santanais?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yeah, chink Santana was one of the main murdering
producers and, yeah, he wasresponsible for a lot of
murdering stuff, murdering kids,and he pretty much produced a
lot of records on the album.
The album cuts too Word.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Happy was released as the album's second single on
June 17, 2002.
And according to Rap Genius,the song is about Ashanti's
passionate oh hello.
The song is about Ashanti'slove for her lover.
It doesn't get no simpler thanthat.
(36:07):
It's track three and it wasobviously on murdering.
Obviously there is a music video, the video.
The video is her just runningaround the city in a good mood
with her girls dancing aroundand it looks like they're trying
to go.
It looks like at the end theyend up at a murder inc.
Ashanti get together type thing.
(36:28):
I don't know.
Um, I'm not gonna lie, I'm not.
I'm not necessarily saying thatashanti isn't a good dancer,
but she looked veryuncomfortable in that video.
I don't know if you've everseen that video, but she just
looks very uncomfortable in thatvideo.
I don't know if you ever seenthat video, but she just looks
very uncomfortable in that video.
Um, so the interesting thingabout this song is that I have a
(36:52):
very love hate relationshipwith this song.
The thing about this song is,and what's messed up about that
is, the hate didn't.
The hate part didn't really get.
I didn't really feel that untillike recently.
But, um, but nowadays the songyou know, on the good side, the
(37:15):
song, like I said, if you everhear me in a lot of the older
TNT podcast episodes, a lot ofthe songs from like 2002 could
do no wrong for me.
Like those are like songs fromlike my childhood For real, for
real.
Like any song that came out inlike 2002, do no wrong, and this
song is no exception.
So, like, anytime I think oflike happy, like songs like that
(37:39):
, I always think of like thefirst mixtape I ever had, like
and it was on air and you know,being in this it reminds me of
like summer in 022 when I wouldbe in like camp.
It was this camp they had in LAcalled Van Ness that was I don't
(38:02):
know if it was necessarily ranby my auntie like I was always
like with my auntie during thesummer and so like.
And then with my auntie she waslike she always had like the
latest r&b or like hip-hopalbums, so like I would hear.
I would hear like she had theshanti album and I heard the
album, so like.
One of my favorite songs offthat album was the song called
Dreams.
But that's, that's anotherstory.
But the bad side about this,about this anytime I think of
(38:28):
this song, is the fucking IrvGotti drinking champs interview.
I think I could have went therest of my life without knowing
the origin story of this song,without knowing the origin story
of this song.
And for my people that don'tknow the origin story of this
song, this is quote unquote fromIrv Gotti we just finished
(38:49):
having sex together, or whatever.
I'm taking a shower, I'm in theshower and you know a nigga's
creative after sex.
I think the whole track in theshower.
The record came about becauseof our energy.
I could have went the rest ofmy life without hearing that and
(39:10):
like it.
Just I don't know and I it just.
It just came off like the wayhe said, like the way he said it
and the way it came off cameoff bitter and just I don't know
.
It was so weird, did you?
Did you see that interview,tanaka?
Speaker 1 (39:28):
yeah, I did um, I feel like he could have told the
story but just left the namename out, like he didn't have to
say he had sex with ashanti.
He could have just said that hewas in the shower, he just got
done having sex with an unknownperson and he thought of the
record.
I don't think he had to namedrop Ashanti in that because
(39:52):
like that, like you said, itcame off.
It came off, it came off bitter.
You know what I'm saying?
Like and just, and that's whyyou know.
That's why, bro.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Uh-oh, you got something on your mind, that's
why, nah, bro?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
This man, turner done , made a whole compilation of
the Hall of Fame and it's gonnashow the Poo-Tang trailer while
I'm speaking about a serioustopic right now, bro One time
for the Hall of Fame and onetime for Hall of Fame Poo-Tang
but go ahead.
But yeah, it's just.
That's why Ashanti responded.
In that Gotta Move On LadiesRemix, she had basically a verse
(40:41):
that Is that really she'stalking about irv gotty?
Speaker 2 (40:43):
yeah I don't think I knew that dang.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Now I gotta listen to .
Speaker 2 (40:46):
You know how she's like, you know I didn't, I'm not
gonna lie, I didn't reallylisten to that.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Okay, she was just like yeah but now she was like,
yeah, 20 years you still haven'tmoved on.
You know like it's givingobsessed, it's giving bitter.
You know like and um, so yeah,turn up, bro, why you got this
thing.
It's going to show R Kelly withhis little Zorro mask, bro, one
(41:13):
time for the.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Zorro TNT Podcast Hall of Famer, but anyway um
yeah.
So like it came off real bitter.
So that's why I was like Well,I ain't gonna lie, bro, murder
Inc really doesn't get no lovefrom me cause of 50 Cent, but
that's a whole nother story.
So, like when Irv Gotti cameout with his interview, I'm like
alright, bro, you just give memore reason.
I like Murder Inc.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Wait, because 50 murdered them or the reason that
they like beefed.
I was a fan of 50 and and 50said fuck murdering.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
So it was fuck murdering.
Just kind of like how Gamejumped off of G-Unit.
It was fuck G-Unit after that,but you know what did he say.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
I was trying to think of the line that 50 had dissed
him with.
I don't know.
He said like crack child.
And what are you talking?
Speaker 2 (41:59):
about Irv Gotti no 50.
, 50, dissing Murder Inc.
Oh bro, pick, pick, your pickbro, there's like a million
songs.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Because I think bros name Because they have Cadillac.
Todd and Black Child.
Those are two artists that wereon Murder Inc.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
I think I.
Is that the dude that stabbedhim?
Yes, or one of the dudes thatstabbed him?
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah, but he dissed him saying like I don't know.
He said something broken downcar guitar and then crack child
instead of black child.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Oh, Anyway, really back in.
So what's interesting aboutthis?
What's also interesting aboutthis song is that this song has
no certifications, which makesno sense to me.
I don't know.
This is according to theinternet.
Apparently, this song has nocertifications, but this joint
can chart you everywhere.
The US it topped, it went to 8.
Australia went to 29.
(42:51):
France, it went to 40.
Germany went to 41.
Ireland went to 22.
And the Dutch it went to 10.
New Zealand 19.
Switzerland, 24.
And the Dutch it went to 10.
New Zealand 19,.
Switzerland 24.
Uk 13.
I'm trying to figure out howyou got on all these charts and
you ain't even certified.
I don't know how thatcertification shit works,
obviously, but anywho, if you'relooking for some feel good
(43:12):
2000s R&B, I would highlyrecommend you listen to
Ashanti's Happy.
It always puts me in a goodmood, with or without the Irv
Gotti backstory on it.
It definitely always puts me ina good mood, with or without
the Earth Goddy backstory on it.
It definitely always puts me ina good mood.
Yeah, dj Turn Up.
Song of the Day.
Ashanti's Happy.
You rock with Murder Inc.
(43:32):
No, you know, it's funny.
Before we take this to a close,or no, before we go to no,
we're just going to move on.
Yeah, that was Turn Up Song ofthe Day.
We're just going to put this alittle in the middle, Right
before the album of the day.
Why do you think, besides JaRule and Lloyd, that it didn't
(43:55):
work out for any other maleartist on Murder Inc.
Speaker 1 (44:02):
Ja Rule and Lloyd why it didn't work out for any
other male artist On Murder Inc.
Ja Rule and Lloyd White Didn'twork out for any other male
artists On it.
Those were street Streetrappers for real.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Oh, and you're saying Ja Rule wasn't a real street
name.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Well, Ja Rule had Crossover appeal.
He could cater to the ladies aswell as the hood, the other
dudes.
They was more so like Juststraight up hood yeah just fresh
off the block and so you canwork with that, but you have to
be able to promote that properly, because I don't know too much,
(44:39):
they also never had no album.
You know what I mean?
That's another thing is that Ifeel like Lloyd and Ja Rule is
the only ones that really had analbum.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
No, that's what I'm saying.
So why do you feel like theydidn't?
So you feel like it was justbecause they was real street
niggas?
They just, they just didn't.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yeah, I don't know.
I guess they didn't have enoughfaith in them.
I really heard Black Child andCadillac Towers on some features
and and and the Murder Inccompilation album.
You know I didn't see no.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
You segwaying into the Murder Inc compilation album
, Chill out.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Colonel, chill out, nah, I ain't going to count Like
you, don't rock like that withMurder Inc.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Oh, you say you don't .
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Because I just learned the story and when Life
Jennings got out of prison hewas supposed to sign to Murder
Inc and he was working with themand Earl was like yeah, what
year is this?
It's like when he just got outof jail.
It's like 2002.
Ah this is when they bust, this,when they busting yeah, he's
(45:49):
like yeah, man, you know we gotthis young cat named lloyd.
You know that we working withand um, but life, you are like
you dope, you know but.
And so everything seemed good.
Because, long story short, lifeknew this dude in the pen who
knew Irv Gotti, who was like IrvGotti's mans or whatever.
So he's like I'm gonna put youin soon with bruh, so he, linked
(46:11):
with bruh, linked with Irv, youknow what I'm saying.
They was talking whatever andhe played him.
You know the music must be Nice.
I Cry, you know whatever.
And Irv was like yeah, that'sdope, you know what I'm saying.
Well, you know we also workingwith this Cat Lloyd or whatever,
and we trying to have y'all belike the R&B of, you know,
(46:32):
murder Inc.
And as Life is leaving thestudio after the meeting, he's
like.
He's like, yeah, life, you dope, you know, but we're going to
save those records for later on.
You know we're going to dropsome dumb down type stuff.
You know, just some dumb, youknow, dumb down like R&B, just,
you know, to get the people youknow in tune with you.
And life wasn't going bro.
(46:54):
Life was like nah, I'm notfinna dumb, you know what I'm
saying he's like respectfully,like I'm not finna dumb, you
know what I'm saying.
He's like respectfully, like Irock with y'all but like I'm not
finna dumb down my music, likeso he was just, he's like they
cool peoples or whatever, butlike, coming into the game he
wasn't gonna dumb down his musicand we wouldn't have had if he.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
It must be nice you know what I'm saying, like we
wouldn't have had that becausethey were trying to dumb it down
and cater to you know.
So right, that's interesting,though you, um, I mean, but I
mean, wait, so that's why youdon't rock with murder inc.
I feel like, I feel like, butit went off respectfully.
(47:37):
I thought you just been sayingsome disrespectful shit, like
like he, they stole his music orsome shit.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
Oh no, no, no, bro, just what could have been bro I
think it worked out pretty finenah, it's a fake.
That's a fake man.
Yeah, it's just crazy, becauseCadillac Tile is only known for
that record POV City.
(48:04):
God, what was that Exactly?
What did you say, sir, exactly?
Speaker 2 (48:16):
So like Cadillac Tile , is that the guy that stabbed
50 Cent, or is that the otherguy?
Speaker 1 (48:20):
No, I think it was Blacktop.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
I just remember seeing, whoever that was, on the
Beef DVD.
Speaker 1 (48:29):
Yeah, yeah, definitely Turn of song of the
day.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
So this is gonna be an interesting one, right?
So, Tanaka, answer me thisJanuary 15th 1991.
Where were you?
Speaker 1 (48:47):

Nah, I just thought about that,that's why.
So, anyway, keep going.
I'm going to tell you all fair,We'll talk about it, but anyway
.
So Turn Up.
Song of the Day is a song thatcame out in 1991.
I did my research on this songbecause obviously, obviously, I
was a West Coast baby and, asy'all can hear From the previous
(50:01):
songs of the days, always intosomething real Motherfucking G's
and all that shit.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
This song is no different.
West Coast.
Just let y'all know the termreally gangster though.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Stop it Anyway.
Reel it back in.
My song of the day is from aWest Coast artist that is very
underrated and, honestly andtruthfully, the only people that
really give him his flowers iseither if you're from the West
Coast or if you're like I'llprobably say 40 and older.
(50:32):
Maybe like 40 and older.
Yeah, probably I'll say like 40and older.
Dj Quick.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
Legend older.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
DJ Quick.
Legendary DJ Quick Turn up songof the day is DJ Quick's Sweet
Black Pussy.
What's interesting about thissong is Okay, let me ask you
this, Tanaka.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
And we're just ballparking, ballpark the
average um album budget.
What would you say it would be?
In in the 91 no, just I meanthat you that's what I'm saying
that you would know of from likenow, maybe like the past 20
(51:19):
years, maybe um of any artiststhat you would know?
Speaker 1 (51:27):
dang, I don't know if I I've heard of advances, but I
don't know what actual albumbudget.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
So I mean, yeah, we talked about, we were talking
about the jock joint, so theywere talking about advancing and
stuff.
How much would you think inadvance, like if we're
ballparking, how much in advancewould be?
Speaker 1 (51:44):
I used to depend on the artist, but I say I thought
too many, two M's, two M's.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
DJ Quick made his album on $30,000.
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
Incredible $30,000.
Beautiful, incredible $30,000.
What label he at.
Speaker 2 (52:05):
This label.
He was on what?
Speaker 1 (52:09):
was he independent Profile, he was on Profile, so
this album Sweet Black Pussy wason Profile.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
So this album, sweet Black Pussy was on, was the
first track of Quick Is the Name.
It was a DJ Quick album thatcame out in 91.
First song, so off-riff, youlisten to Sweet Black Pussy.
So what I can say just from myknowledge of Sweet Black Pussy
is that, goddamn, this song waslike it's super raunchy and this
(52:43):
was around.
This is the time where it waslike it was fashionable for
artists when they had a topic tostay on topic.
So that's literally all he'stalking about.
The whole song is sex and pussy.
That's like the whole song.
He's not talking about his neck, he's not talking about his
wrist, like.
He's not like talking aboutwhat he might talk about.
(53:04):
He might make some referencesto the club or some shit or a
party or whatever, but for themost part he's talking about
pussy the whole time.
Speaker 1 (53:10):
I ain't okay.
I know I'm very familiar withthis record oh, you've heard the
song before.
Very much so.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
So what's interesting about this song was well, of
course, of course I was For theteenage reasons.
You said for teenage reasons.
Yeah, what do you mean forteenage?
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (53:30):
This was an uncut video I used to watch all the
time.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
Oh, back when you used to do it on the computer.
I remember you telling me aboutthat.
Speaker 1 (53:36):
Yeah, I remember you telling me about that, anyway.
Speaker 2 (53:40):
Obviously, I found out about this song late,
because when the song came out Iwas like negative three.
So, yeah, I wouldn't even havethought of it.
So I used to.
When I was younger, my momwould have a CD collection in
her room.
In this drawer she had this bigthing, it'd be a TV and then
(54:05):
under that it'd be a drawer fullof CDs and DVDs.
So every so often because I'm akid, I don't know why I would
think something would change orsomething.
I would just go through the CDsand just look at them, like
just look at them, and thatwould be one of the CDs I would
see she had the Quickest Namealbum.
Oh gosh.
And then I would look on theback and I would see the name of
(54:27):
that sweet black pussy and I'dbe like never heard it, never
heard the song.
But I finally heard the songwhen I was probably like high
school maybe high school, yeah,probably like high school and I
heard it and I just, I just fellin love with it because the
song is so funny to me like I'llbe knocking bitches, like it
(54:49):
ain't shit because I'm playing amotherfucking name dj quick.
Maybe it's the way I hold mydick that make all the girlies
want to ride my tits.
Like this song is just nah thepart that kills me.
Some of these bitches try toecho unfair.
Maybe it's because my hair islong, because I'm like noah's
ark.
My bitches come in pairs likewhat, oh bro, I fucking love
(55:14):
sweet black pussyussy bro, thatsong is amazing.
Speaker 1 (55:18):
It is though.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
But yeah.
So I want to say high schoolwas the first time I finally
heard the song, and I firstheard the song by seeing the
video.
It was on YouTube, but this wasback when YouTube was really
really strict about havingnudity, so you would have to go
far, you gotta dig was reallyreally strict about having
nudity, right.
Speaker 1 (55:38):
So like you would have to go like like oh, you
gotta dig, you gotta dig.
Speaker 2 (55:41):
Sweet Black Pussy would be one of the ones that
would only have like 500 views.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
I ain't gonna lie, I had to go on like a forum to see
that yeah.
Speaker 2 (55:51):
So, um, I just remember seeing it and I'm like,
and I'm sitting here tripping,I'm like, how am I watching?
This like it's like like these,like I see titties and shit,
like it was all oh bro, it waswild.
Speaker 1 (56:03):
They had the wildest joint because I think they had
positioned the camera likeunderneath the girl's, like
pussy.
Yeah, and I was like yo this iswild.
Yeah, exactly right, looking upthe Oscar card.
Yo, this is crazy, wow.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
But um, so, so some, so some digging a little bit, a
little digging I did do,apparently.
The recording session tookplace in 1990 at the Westlake
Recording Studio in LA.
And once again, a productionbudget of $30,000.
Amazing, bro, that's a car.
Right, that's a car, bro.
(56:42):
And of course it's DJ Quickwe're talking about.
For people that don't know whoDJ Quick is, he's a West Coast
rapper, but at the same time hewas a producer.
He's more legendary.
Speaker 1 (56:52):
Yeah, and he's a DJ.
Speaker 2 (56:54):
Yes, very much so Hence the DJ, but he's more
legendary for his productionthan his rapping he is.
He does have some legendaryhits like rapping, but he's more
a legend for his producing, sohe's a producer as well.
Speaker 1 (57:09):
and you can tell, yeah, he's just a pioneer, like
he was one of the.
He like is one of the pioneersfor like the west coast sound
you know I'm saying like for youknow the dj quick sound like.
Speaker 2 (57:20):
That's how impactful he was yeah, he, I feel like he
gave it that funk.
Yeah, like I feel like he likecame up with like fun, because
even like well, to reel it out alittle bit, like on his like
future albums after quick as aname, he would have his joints
called quick groove, where it'slike just him just jamming out
no rapping or nothing, he's justjamming out with the funk and
(57:40):
shit.
But yeah, uh, but yeah, so sweetblack pussy.
He made the beat and yeah, youknow, what's wild about this
song is the fact that this islike this.
That was like consideredraunchy, like not like.
This is like come and put thatpussy on me, don't be running
from me, it's normal now.
Speaker 1 (58:02):
I know, I can only imagine.
I wonder if he got backlash forthat.
Speaker 2 (58:09):
He probably did.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
He had to, you gotta think it's only like what, three
years after NWA no, this isduring NWA bro or during NWA
cause didn't NWA came out like88 or 89?
Speaker 2 (58:26):
hold on, let me ask you this, okay, well, yeah, well
, it's still during, becausethere's still a thing.
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Yeah, yeah, I'm saying Ice Cube just isn't in it
this is, uh, this is the niggasfor life, okay, in it.
Speaker 2 (58:36):
This is the niggas for life.
This is the automobile NWA.
Speaker 1 (58:39):
I just think back to you see how NWA had to fight for
their music, and that was onlythree years before Sweet.
Speaker 2 (58:47):
Black Pussy came out.
You can only imagine, how folksWell, it's not a single as well
.
All of NWA's singles.
I guess this was the time oftwo live crew as well, like I
want to say two live crew waslike mid 90s mid 90s for real, I
feel like it was, but I don'tknow, I'm probably wrong?
Speaker 1 (59:07):
I don't know I don't know, I'm kind of, I'm kind of
iffy with the two live crew.
Speaker 2 (59:11):
Uh history.
But um, yeah, dj quick, sweetblack pussy beautiful.
Is um, it's very.
But yeah, dj Quick, sweet BlackPussy Beautiful.
It's a very interesting song.
It's kind of equivalent to EasyEase, give Me that Nut.
It's just a real funny, justreal interesting song.
I don't know if there's anysampling or anything.
(59:32):
I think he just kind of justdid all that and stuff.
Speaker 1 (59:36):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (59:38):
So apparently, yeah, apparently, you were right, bro.
80s Too high proof.
It was 80s, yeah, but yeah.
So if you're looking for someinteresting, funny, raunchy shit
to listen to on some West Coastvibe, I would definitely
recommend you look up DJ Quick'sSweet Black Pussy.
That's the turn-up song of theday.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
Beautiful bro, dj Quick, sweet Black Pussy.
That's the turn-up song of theday.
Beautiful bro, love it.
Love it, man.
We'll see you next time, thankyou.
my song of the day.
There's a song from 2003, sothis was definitely still the
time that I was still a bow wowfan, but this was this was
definitely an interesting timebecause Bow Wow was growing up
and you can hear it in his voice, his voice starting to deepen
(00:49):
up.
So around this time he came.
He came out with his singlelet's Get Down, by the way
that's not the name of the song.
But that's when I was like, ohwow, like he's growing up.
I'm growing up too, so like it'scool, or whatever I think he
was like 16, I think he justturned 16 or some shit like that
, I don't know.
But my mom knew that I was abig bow wow fan, so like she
(01:14):
bought me his album, theunleashed album, and there was a
song on there which is the songof the day, called the dime the
dutch, and I just thought thatsong was like the dopest song,
like it just had a cool littlevibe to it, like you can, like
you know two-step, like it'slike just a cool little vibe
song and I was actually upsetthat he didn't do anything with
(01:35):
it except make it like a littlesnippet video on um.
On what?
What video was that?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I think that was Baby .
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Do you remember that song?
He had a song called Baby withJagged Edge.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It was around that time.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, Ionly knew about let's Get Down.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Let's Get Down.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I mean, I don't want to divert, I need a side note.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Right?
No, I feel you.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Do you know how Birdman was involved with that
record?
So I heard about.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So I heard about um, uh, bow, wow, falling off with
uh, jermaine, jermaine dupreeand so so deaf, so he kind of
slid in.
Yeah, okay, okay, kind of kindof.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I was just like.
This is so random, bro, youjust got birdman over the like
bow whistle yeah, yeah, thatshit was weird.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I was like yeah, no, yeah, I was like where did he?
Come from.
No, that, definitely that, bro.
That definitely was weird, yeah, but nah, so, um, yeah, so if
you ever go back and check out,uh, it's crazy that you say this
, because I actually did revisitlike bowers whole catalog
really.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, I just I took the time out.
I was like you know what, letme just go through all his
albums, you know?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I mean because I don't think I really listened to
his early stuff, I just knewthe singles but I never actually
heard the album, so I did checkout unleash, unleash, yeah so,
um, yeah, so that was one of thesongs that I actually used to
like off the unleash album.
Those are.
That's one of the actual songsI can remember from off the
Unleashed album, because I don'tthink, to be honest with you, I
(03:09):
think that was one of thosealbums I only heard, maybe like
at that time, a lot.
I've heard that album a lot,but after that time I kind of
just I either lost the physicalalbum or something should happen
.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
But to really back in donna, dutch is a cool little,
you know vibe song, I think Iwant to say, uh, the neptunes
make that I just about to askyou who produced.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yes, the neptunes made that beat and you could
definitely tell because it's acool.
Like I said, it's cool littlevibe and was actually fast
forward to when I startedgetting into skate DJing.
Right, I used to go back and belike okay, so like what are
some songs that I remember frommy past life that I can bring
(03:56):
into the skateboard?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
And that was one of the first songs.
I was like man, I could reallyplay this song, but the thing
about the song is unfortunatelynow bow wow has a perception,
has a really corny perception,right like he's just seen as a
cornball, so like listening tothe song.
Now they call me bow wow likeit just sounds really corny, but
(04:21):
like I used to play theinstrumental a lot, so so wait.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So you learned of the song from the album, not the
video from the album yeah, yeah,from now on just one, just one.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So I learned it from the album and then like fast
forward they came out with thevideo for the baby song right
the baby song.
And then you know, like I saidback in the day, they had the
snippet videos inside the videos, right, I think he was like
watching tv.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
And then, you know, like I said back in the day,
they had the snippet videosinside the videos.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I think he was like watching TV.
And then like he had on likesuits and he was dancing with
other people.
It was the Donny Dutch stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So yeah, like I said, fast forward to.
When I started skate DJing, Iwas like I remember this song
and I was.
Yeah, I was like I rememberthis song and I was like I could
definitely add this in.
And what's funny is I had acouple skaters like, yeah bro,
this beat is crazy.
The song, I don't know so muchyeah, so, yeah, so if you
(05:15):
haven't heard of the song theDawn of Dutch, I would
definitely recommend you checkit out.
If you are a skater, I woulddefinitely recommend you listen
to the song because that's acool little vibe to it for you
to you know I mean, I don'treally I'm not a real stepper
like that, like a chicago, butit seems like a cool little step
song, but that's a cool littlesong, so that, yeah, that's my
(05:36):
song of the day.
Bow, wow's the don.
The dutch song of the day is,um, actually pretty interesting.
It's a song I discovered on aworld star and I'm actually mad
they never came, like he never.
He didn't make this a single.
But, um, it's a song by a RickRoss.
(05:56):
It's featuring a Lil Wayne andBirdman caught up Veterans Day.
You ever heard of the songTamar?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I don't think I heard of it.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So the record is interesting because it's a dope
song, but, like they never didanything with it.
And it was weird because, like,like I said, the song is dope,
I don't know what the fuck.
I don't know, maybe theycouldn't find the clearance or
the copyright or whatever, butcouldn't find the clearance of
the copyright or whatever.
But it could have went on Wayneor Rick Ross's album.
(06:27):
This song came out like 2010.
So well, no, now I think aboutit if it would have to have gone
on Rick Ross cuz I think TeflonDon came out 2010.
Right, because I know Waynedidn't drop anything in 2010 no
(06:53):
ceilings, no ceilings from 2009.
But um yeah so, but um yeah.
So apparently I didn't know thatit was on any mixtape, but
apparently there's a mixtapeRick Ross came out with called
the timeless art.
Amar forget collection didn't,didn't know this mixtape existed
(07:17):
, but child's rap genius.
Apparently it was um track twoon the mixtape.
Like I said, the beat is dope.
It's an interesting, it's avery interesting beat and you
know, wayne is just in hiselement.
Wayne is in his element in thisfucking song and Rick Ross is
smart to let him start off thesong and you know Birdman,
(07:41):
birdman's Birdman, and Rick Rossis just Rick Ross.
I mean they held their own.
But I mean, of course, you gotto give the crown to Wayne.
I remember the video for beinglike.
It's like one of those videoswhere they're nowhere and
they're like in front of a greenscreen.
Well, they're not.
Well, yeah, they're in front ofa green screen, but I think
it's like fire and sparks justplaying behind them or whatever.
(08:02):
And it fire and like sparksjust playing behind them or
whatever, and it's just yeah,there's just nowhere and they're
just rapping type shit.
So there's an actual video forthis, and what's crazy about the
video is that, like I remember,like I said, I've seen the
video.
I discovered the video onworldstar and for some reason,
like between 2010 and now, thevideo was really hard to find
(08:23):
and I don't know why.
I don't know if it was becauseof they just dropped the video
because of copyright reasons orwhatever, but it was really hard
to find.
And then after a while it cameback up, but they only had the
one with the world starwatermark on it, so I'll let you
hear the song when we're donewith the podcast oh so Justice
(08:47):
League made the.
When we're done with thepodcast oh so Justice League
made the beat.
Justice League made the beatand it definitely, now that I
think about it, it definitelygives a Ross vibe.
So it would definitely fit moreon a Ross project than anybody
else's, because, honestly andtruthfully, you could really put
that on anybody's.
Any of them could have came outwith a project and you could
have put it on any of them,because there's no chorus,
chorus, there's no chorus, andeverybody has one verse.
(09:08):
It's Wayne Berman Ross and,yeah, it was released November
11th, in 2010, and the samplesare slipping into the darkness
by war and you are my starshipby Norman Connor, and shout out
(09:32):
the rap genius.
They actually have oneinteresting fact about this.
So apparently, the song the,released on the 11th hour, 11
day of the 11 month, oh, a songto commemorate our fallen
soldiers.
Basically that's yeah, yeah.
Shout out to Ross, if you'relooking for a song that has a
(09:57):
dope Justice League beat, likethose typical, and it gives you.
It definitely gives you like anot necessarily a Maybach music
vibe, but like I don't reallyknow how to explain it, you just
gotta hear it.
But if you want to hear Wayneand his element for real, for
real, I'd highly recommend youlisten to this song.
Let's turn up.
Song of the day bed of his dayyeah, song of the day, yeah,
(10:25):
song of the day, yeah, 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 this song is a track thatblends humor and bragging,
(10:48):
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
(11:13):
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
(11:36):
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 1 (11:48):
no, I, I ain't gonna.
I have no idea that was.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
That was like that was a long description dude so
uh with that being said, my songof the day is father featuring
I love mcconin featuring keylook at wrist, tanaka.
Could you imagine that thatthat is the description of look
(12:12):
at wrist yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Uh, I don't know who wrote that one sweet baby jesus.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
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
(12:41):
going to go off of YouTube July2014.
The track is on one of hisprojects.
It's track number five onFather's Project Young Hot Ebony
Tanaka.
Have you ever heard Young HotEbony?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I think that's the only Father's track I've ever
heard.
No, I've not heard Young.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Hot Ebony.
It's released off his hisrecord label, awful Records
Tanaka.
Are you familiar with AwfulRecords?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I am familiar with.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Awful Records.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Do you have any other , any other tidbits on Awful
Records?
I want to say Ugly Guy, I thinkUgly.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Guy was on Awful Records.
I'm not sure, though, boy, wipethe dust off that one boy.
Ugly guy, I drip on your beatlike water, but anyway, we're
gonna talk about a 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.
Uh, drake, uh, credited, I meanuh, or shouted out the song on
(13:53):
his instagram.
Um, on his instagram in 2014.
So you know, if drake isbacking you, then you know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You know you got some mcconin was signed right to
drake at the some.
Makonnen was signed right ToDrake after the song.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I think he was signed to Awful Records actually, oh,
okay, and then he may I don'tknow, he may have had a
partnership.
You know, it gets real fishywhen it gets to the.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
We got to figure when did Tuesday come out?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No idea.
But if you can, whenever you'redone, doing what you're doing,
look that up for me.
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
(14:44):
the rapping.
It it's just like so laid backand lazy.
But I fuss with it because, bro, this is like 2014,.
2015.
We're talking about Like thisjoint will start up any cypher
of, like you know, the nae, naeor whip or weed or whatever the
case, like it'll start up thecircle Wrist, wrist, wrist,
wrist, wrist, wrist, wrist ofany, like anything.
(15:05):
So that's what made me, that'swhat caught the attention of
that song to me.
But, um, 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.
(15:27):
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 I don't know.
(15:49):
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
into it, he's, and then I wantto keep it.
(16:10):
Woo, look at God, and so, butMcCone is, he just has this
chain on his face and he's justfucking.
I don't know what the fuck he'sdoing.
It's so weird.
It's just like they just, theyjust and key, he can't even
remember his part.
Like he's rapping it, but likehe's like he doesn't even
remember the part.
(16:31):
Like bro, this song is justlike I don't know it's hilarious
, just the video, and I don'tknow.
I gotta show you the videobecause I know you would
appreciate how this is yeah,I've seen the video.
Oh, you've seen the video, so Iknow exactly what you're talking
about that's why it's so funny,it's just like I don't know,
(16:51):
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 atlanta,like blue house, um 40 griffin,
(17:12):
like just the clubs.
Like I didn't really go to alot of the clubs, I was in more
of the like the house partyscene 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, like talk aboutjust a hidden gem in Atlanta.
Bro, like that song is likeAtlanta, like legendary gold,
(17:38):
like talk about it.
I know you always talk aboutstreet classic Tanaka.
I feel like that song is astreet classic, absolutely.
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.
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
(18:05):
forgot how we got on theconversation.
Maybe tanaka will be able totell, but we started talking
about the song and I was like,bro, I swear to god, if you play
that song, I would like.
Bro, we got to be friendsforever, like.
And so he played it and bro, Ijust remember, I just remember
somebody being in the dj boothand I had hopped on top of the
fucking.
I had hopped on top of thefucking, I had hopped on top of
(18:25):
the DJ booth, started dancingand shit, and she just kind of
looking like what the fuck ishappening right now.
So those are the two things Ialways think about, about, uh,
when look at risk comes on,that's always what I think about
.
But um, and of course you know,look at risk, the father made
(18:47):
the beat.
So I mean, he couldn't,couldn't.
Yeah, you know, it wasn't inthe budget for him to get a real
big producer.
So you know, father had to goon the beat.
But shout out to father man, um, but um.
Last thing uh, criticsappreciated the song's playful
and irreverent nature, which isset apart from most of the
(19:09):
mainstream hip-hop tracks.
At the time, the collaborationbetween Father, olive, makoni
and Key was also highlighted asa key factor in the song's
success to, if you want to lookat, if you want a little sneak
peek of like what it was lookinglike in the mid, the mid 2010s.
(19:30):
You definitely need to checkout.
Uh, I love, I love mcconin keyand fathers look at wrist
because, yeah, that, yeah, yeah,that's that's, that's a, that's
a song, just for its time.
It's just a beautiful song.
Tanaka, you were about to saysomething.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, man, this is definitely one of the essentials
that me and Turner became cooland I think that we be forget
like, like, look, I don't get mewrong, I know I'll be talking
lyrics, this lyrics that youfeel me.
(20:14):
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 havefun, bro.
You know what I'm saying and Ithink I think that's why the
record is so great, becausethey're they're just having fun,

Song of the day.
Father shout out to father.
(21:13):
Look at the father man song ofthe day song of the day.
Yep, song of the day.
So my song of the day is a songfrom like 2002.
Let me ask you this uh tanaka,javier, are you familiar with
the group the rough ends?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
as in, like david ruffin no, the rough ends oh,
rough ends.
R-u-f-f, e-n-d Z.
Yes, I am.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My song of the day are from them.
They had a song in 2002 calledSomeone To Love you.
Are you familiar with that song?
That song is special to mebecause that's one of those
songs that I can definitelyremember my mom playing when we
were in the townhouse back whenI was young.
So something about that is thatif you're into like R&B music
(22:14):
that like has rhythm and blues,like you can feel the music.
It's definitely, it'sdefinitely a song for you.
So I'm not going to lie, like Isaid, it was one of the songs
my mom used to play.
I didn't really care for itwhen I was younger, but as I got
older and I listened to itagain with a different ear, I
(22:35):
definitely could appreciate it alot more.
And as I got older, I couldappreciate it a lot more because
it just has so much emotionRight, it has blues, you feel it
.
I can appreciate it a lot morebecause it just has so much
emotion, right, that blues, youfeel it.
And so one interesting thingabout this song is the music
video.
Have you ever seen the music?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
video.
I don't believe I have so themain character in the?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
well, I don't think it's the main character, but the
main actress in the video isMelinda Williams.
Okay, you ever heard of MelindaWilliams?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The name sounds familiar, but I'm not putting a
picture to it.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
So she was in movies that I've seen that she was in.
She was in First Sunday and theWood.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Which one was she in the Wood?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I don't remember, but I do know on First Sunday she
was the.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
She was wait, have you ever seen First Sunday?
No, I haven't seen First Sunday.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It wasn't good enough for you.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
No, I just I didn't.
I don't think it was on myradar.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I'm trying to think I don't remember who she was.
I feel like she was the girlthat got her butt smacked, but I
don't think it was her, thoughit may have been.
(24:13):
Think about it.
She was doing the double dutchand he smacked her butt and then
she was the game maker yeah shewas in um, she was in ottawa
and she was in uh, daddy'slittle girl as well.
I don't know if you've everseen.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.
No, she's definitely one of theones you have to see.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, I know who does like pull a video, like pull a
video real quick, yeah, you'llnotice her, but yeah, so, um,
yeah, she, um, she's main, she'sthe main girl they singing
about in the video.
Yeah, gotcha, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
And then um, Do they only have one album?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I believe they had a couple of them.
Okay, but, um, but yeah, Ibelieve they had a couple of
them, but the video I was goingto say you can literally play it
from the beginning.
She's in the video the wholetime.
Yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
She's the waitress.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
You know they started with the waitress, but no, the
beat is just like it catches you.
I'm not familiar with eitherone of their names, but he's
playing the piano and it's likekind of got the groove going.
So the beat was made by, or theproducer of the song was Corey
(25:18):
Rooney and Troy Alligard.
Are you familiar with eitherone of those people?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, more so as writers, songwriters, I think.
I don't know about producers.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
So, yeah, this is okay.
So this is the information Ifound out afterwards, right when
I started doing research on thesong.
So well, corey Rooney is theone that's the songwriter.
He songwrote and helped produceit as well, but he's worked
with folks like Mariah Carey,mary J Blige, jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I think I recognize them from his work with Mary J
Blige.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
What songs, if you can get on top of your head, are
you just going to?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I want to say for the Breakthrough album.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
That's the Be Without .
You Be Without you and MJ beatMVP, yeah, that album and, yeah,
you can't get no bigger thanthis Michael Jackson, mm-hmm.
So, and Troy Oliver was a wasjust a producer.
He was a producer but he, like,actually played instruments and
(26:29):
shit yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
who did he so?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
he produced Jenny from the Block, I'm Will and
Differences.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Okay, yeah, I definitely recognize him from
that.
Then With Troy Oliver yeah,yeah, because, yeah.
With Troy Oliver yeah, yeah,because, yeah.
Anyway, I be putting theproducers in when I put the song
in, so like that's how I usedto come across all these names.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
So, yeah, well yeah, Cool little soulful song.
What is he talking about?
Here you go.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
He sent you a song pack bro, you got to listen to
him.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Anywho.
And you know what's funny,that's how random.
He'll just come to the boothI'll be talking about or doing
something like my job.
Yeah, hey, you got to do itAnywho.
Yeah, hey, you got to do it.
I'm like I hate it anywho.
Um, but uh, chart wise, thehighest it got on the billboards
(27:32):
was 49 and it got 12 on R&B.
So it's pretty.
It's pretty successful, prettysuccessful album.
I mean successful album, prettysuccessful song.
And um, yeah, rough ends.
Um, someone will love you if youinto some Some R&B, r&b music
with a little substance in it,right, and make you feel
(27:53):
something.
I would definitely recommendyou listen to it.
Ruffins, someone to love you.
It's my song of the day.
So it feels like it's been along time coming for this song,
but all right.
So Young Guns always end upbringing up one song classic.
(28:15):
It's funny.
When I first heard this song,it was one of those songs that
had that was a snippet from avideo, from a video, and the
video was from a song they hadcalled.
Set it off.
At the end they would playanother song and that's my song
of the day.
It's called tonight.
(28:36):
So what's interesting aboutthis song is that the young guns
are from where?
Where is young?
Where are they from?
Are they from new york?
Are they just from phillyphilly?
They're from philly, but thesong has a west coast feel.
I don't remember who made thebeat, but let's go ahead and
(28:57):
look that up um chad west on thetrack chad west.
Oh yeah, he does say that on thesong right.
Chad West, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know any other songsChad West is famous for?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
He's produced a lot of Young Guns records, so if
you've heard Young Guns albums,you've definitely heard his
production.
Yeah, I can't think of theexact song titles.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So was the Young Guns a so like?
Was it like Young Guns likejust brought up like his, like
they partners from like likewhen they were young or
something like that?
I mean like when they like fromcoming up, like from the come
up type shit.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I'm not sure.
Chad West, I just know that hewas like a Philadelphia producer
so he used to produce on just alot of Philly rappers.
He used to produce on just alot of Philly rappers.
Mainly state property at thattime.
But yeah, I guess Young Gunskind of had their in-house.
(30:15):
It was like Just Blaze.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
And he was one of the in-house yeah.
So, like I said, what'sinteresting about this song is
that, like, these dudes are fromPhilly and it has a huge West
Coast feel on it.
So I guess it was only rightthat they put a West Coast
artist on it.
So it's Young Guns featuringDaz Dillinger, like you said.
(30:40):
Yep, chad, apparently his nameis chad hamilton.
Yep, chad hamilton shout out to.
Chad hamilton produced thatbeat.
That was off of um, the song isfrom their second album,
brothers from another, brothersfrom another, and it is track
four, track number four.
(31:02):
Um, I just like how.
I just like how everybody likehow um who starts the song, it's
, uh, uh, young chris.
I definitely like how youngchris is, like, bouncing on the
(31:23):
beat, like in the beginning.
He definitely sets the song offright, like I really feel like,
like he really set that songoff right.
And then, of course, veryunderrated rapper, dad dillinger
.
He definitely, you know, bringsthe west coast feel, because
you know from the west coast,type shit.
And you know at that, the WestCoast feel because you know he's
from the West Coast, type shit.
And you know, at that pointhe's definitely a veteran,
(31:45):
definitely a veteran in the game.
So he just brings his highenergy and his West Coast vibe.
And you know I'm not a lot.
I really remember a lot aboutYoung Nese part, but uh, but um,
I mean it must have been okaybecause it's like one of my
favorite songs.
But yeah, definitely a youngprincess still laying up on
(32:08):
things how pounds of game.
You know great yeah well, yeah,no, I think I remember you and
it's a friday, I ain't gonna lie, that's my shit, bro.
(32:29):
Like well, obviously, if youcan't tell this, I'm trying to
song today, but yeah, it's acool little west coast, cool
west coast vibe and yeah, if youlook for songs for a real cool
west coast vibe, you know, andthey basically talking about you
, you know, hitting the party,they don't get fucked up tonight
, chad.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
West was upset bruh, chad.
West was upset man.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
That's interesting.
So is he from Philly too?
You know he is.
So they are from Philly, Gotyou?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, chad West was upset though, because, as you
mentioned, the video cuts tothat record, but Chad West isn't
in the video, so he's just like, yeah, bro, that record, but
Chad West isn't in the video,and so he's just like, yeah, bro
(33:25):
, like you could at least waitfor me, or something like that.
It just makes it seem likeSwizz Beatz produced the record,
because Swizz yeah, becauseSwizz may have set it off right.
Yeah, and he's also in theTonight video, so it's like
night video.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
So it's like people thought that he swiss produced
that record and not chad woods.
So, uh, I mean okay, well, yeah, I could see that.
Yeah, just for just perception.
No, it's definitely perception,because I was about to be like
wait, why would they think thathe literally said you know, you
got my.
But I mean that, I mean thatcould be anybody.
So I guess that makes sense.
I guess that makes sense, yeah.
(34:06):
But but look well, look here,I'm going to just give you, I'm
going to go ahead and give you aroses.
Chad West, that's my shit, ifthat makes any difference.
Chad West, that's my shit.
You did your thing on that beatLove to bounce, love the bounce
, love.
The West Coast feel.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
We gonna have to find the Instagram to tag you.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Yeah, man, shout out Chad West.
Shout out Chad West or ChadHamilton, whatever you go by.
But yeah, if you looking for asong with a West Coast feel West
Coast vibe, like an old WestCoast vibe, make sure you check
out Young Guns featuring DazDillinger tonight.
That's the turn up song of theday.
(34:48):
My song of the day is Ashanti'sHappy.
According to Wikipedia, happyis a song by Ashanti from her
self-titled debut album.
The track was written by ShantiFrom her self titled debut
album.
The track was written by Shanti, cheek Santana and Irv Gotti,
with production overseen byCheek Santana and Irv Gotti.
(35:13):
The Song contains samples fromthe Gap bands, outstanding so
Tanaka.
Do you know who Chink Santanais?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yeah, chink Santana was one of the main murdering
producers and, yeah, he wasresponsible for a lot of
murdering stuff, murdering kids,and he pretty much produced a
lot of records on the album.
The album cuts too Word.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Happy was released as the album's second single on
June 17, 2002.
And according to Rap Genius,the song is about Ashanti's
passionate oh hello.
The song is about Ashanti'slove for her lover.
It doesn't get no simpler thanthat.
(36:07):
It's track three and it wasobviously on murdering.
Obviously there is a music video, the video.
The video is her just runningaround the city in a good mood
with her girls dancing aroundand it looks like they're trying
to go.
It looks like at the end theyend up at a murder inc.
Ashanti get together type thing.
(36:28):
I don't know.
Um, I'm not gonna lie, I'm not.
I'm not necessarily saying thatashanti isn't a good dancer,
but she looked veryuncomfortable in that video.
I don't know if you've everseen that video, but she just
looks very uncomfortable in thatvideo.
I don't know if you ever seenthat video, but she just looks
very uncomfortable in that video.
Um, so the interesting thingabout this song is that I have a
(36:52):
very love hate relationshipwith this song.
The thing about this song is,and what's messed up about that
is, the hate didn't.
The hate part didn't really get.
I didn't really feel that untillike recently.
But, um, but nowadays the songyou know, on the good side, the
(37:15):
song, like I said, if you everhear me in a lot of the older
TNT podcast episodes, a lot ofthe songs from like 2002 could
do no wrong for me.
Like those are like songs fromlike my childhood For real, for
real.
Like any song that came out inlike 2002, do no wrong, and this
song is no exception.
So, like, anytime I think oflike happy, like songs like that
(37:39):
, I always think of like thefirst mixtape I ever had, like
and it was on air and you know,being in this it reminds me of
like summer in 022 when I wouldbe in like camp.
It was this camp they had in LAcalled Van Ness that was I don't
(38:02):
know if it was necessarily ranby my auntie like I was always
like with my auntie during thesummer and so like.
And then with my auntie she waslike she always had like the
latest r&b or like hip-hopalbums, so like I would hear.
I would hear like she had theshanti album and I heard the
album, so like.
One of my favorite songs offthat album was the song called
Dreams.
But that's, that's anotherstory.
But the bad side about this,about this anytime I think of
(38:28):
this song, is the fucking IrvGotti drinking champs interview.
I think I could have went therest of my life without knowing
the origin story of this song,without knowing the origin story
of this song.
And for my people that don'tknow the origin story of this
song, this is quote unquote fromIrv Gotti we just finished
(38:49):
having sex together, or whatever.
I'm taking a shower, I'm in theshower and you know a nigga's
creative after sex.
I think the whole track in theshower.
The record came about becauseof our energy.
I could have went the rest ofmy life without hearing that and
(39:10):
like it.
Just I don't know and I it just.
It just came off like the wayhe said, like the way he said it
and the way it came off cameoff bitter and just I don't know
.
It was so weird, did you?
Did you see that interview,tanaka?
Speaker 1 (39:28):
yeah, I did um, I feel like he could have told the
story but just left the namename out, like he didn't have to
say he had sex with ashanti.
He could have just said that hewas in the shower, he just got
done having sex with an unknownperson and he thought of the
record.
I don't think he had to namedrop Ashanti in that because
(39:52):
like that, like you said, itcame off.
It came off, it came off bitter.
You know what I'm saying?
Like and just, and that's whyyou know.
That's why, bro.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Uh-oh, you got something on your mind, that's
why, nah, bro?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
This man, turner done , made a whole compilation of
the Hall of Fame and it's gonnashow the Poo-Tang trailer while
I'm speaking about a serioustopic right now, bro One time
for the Hall of Fame and onetime for Hall of Fame Poo-Tang
but go ahead.
But yeah, it's just.
That's why Ashanti responded.
In that Gotta Move On LadiesRemix, she had basically a verse
(40:41):
that Is that really she'stalking about irv gotty?
Speaker 2 (40:43):
yeah I don't think I knew that dang.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Now I gotta listen to .
Speaker 2 (40:46):
You know how she's like, you know I didn't, I'm not
gonna lie, I didn't reallylisten to that.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Okay, she was just like yeah but now she was like,
yeah, 20 years you still haven'tmoved on.
You know like it's givingobsessed, it's giving bitter.
You know like and um, so yeah,turn up, bro, why you got this
thing.
It's going to show R Kelly withhis little Zorro mask, bro, one
(41:13):
time for the.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Zorro TNT Podcast Hall of Famer, but anyway um
yeah.
So like it came off real bitter.
So that's why I was like Well,I ain't gonna lie, bro, murder
Inc really doesn't get no lovefrom me cause of 50 Cent, but
that's a whole nother story.
So, like when Irv Gotti cameout with his interview, I'm like
alright, bro, you just give memore reason.
I like Murder Inc.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Wait, because 50 murdered them or the reason that
they like beefed.
I was a fan of 50 and and 50said fuck murdering.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
So it was fuck murdering.
Just kind of like how Gamejumped off of G-Unit.
It was fuck G-Unit after that,but you know what did he say.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
I was trying to think of the line that 50 had dissed
him with.
I don't know.
He said like crack child.
And what are you talking?
Speaker 2 (41:59):
about Irv Gotti no 50.
, 50, dissing Murder Inc.
Oh bro, pick, pick, your pickbro, there's like a million
songs.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Because I think bros name Because they have Cadillac.
Todd and Black Child.
Those are two artists that wereon Murder Inc.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
I think I.
Is that the dude that stabbedhim?
Yes, or one of the dudes thatstabbed him?
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah, but he dissed him saying like I don't know.
He said something broken downcar guitar and then crack child
instead of black child.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Oh, Anyway, really back in.
So what's interesting aboutthis?
What's also interesting aboutthis song is that this song has
no certifications, which makesno sense to me.
I don't know.
This is according to theinternet.
Apparently, this song has nocertifications, but this joint
can chart you everywhere.
The US it topped, it went to 8.
Australia went to 29.
(42:51):
France, it went to 40.
Germany went to 41.
Ireland went to 22.
And the Dutch it went to 10.
New Zealand 19.
Switzerland, 24.
And the Dutch it went to 10.
New Zealand 19,.
Switzerland 24.
Uk 13.
I'm trying to figure out howyou got on all these charts and
you ain't even certified.
I don't know how thatcertification shit works,
obviously, but anywho, if you'relooking for some feel good
(43:12):
2000s R&B, I would highlyrecommend you listen to
Ashanti's Happy.
It always puts me in a goodmood, with or without the Irv
Gotti backstory on it.
It definitely always puts me ina good mood, with or without
the Earth Goddy backstory on it.
It definitely always puts me ina good mood.
Yeah, dj Turn Up.
Song of the Day.
Ashanti's Happy.
You rock with Murder Inc.
(43:32):
No, you know, it's funny.
Before we take this to a close,or no, before we go to no,
we're just going to move on.
Yeah, that was Turn Up Song ofthe Day.
We're just going to put this alittle in the middle, Right
before the album of the day.
Why do you think, besides JaRule and Lloyd, that it didn't
(43:55):
work out for any other maleartist on Murder Inc.
Speaker 1 (44:02):
Ja Rule and Lloyd why it didn't work out for any
other male artist On Murder Inc.
Ja Rule and Lloyd White Didn'twork out for any other male
artists On it.
Those were street Streetrappers for real.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Oh, and you're saying Ja Rule wasn't a real street
name.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Well, Ja Rule had Crossover appeal.
He could cater to the ladies aswell as the hood, the other
dudes.
They was more so like Juststraight up hood yeah just fresh
off the block and so you canwork with that, but you have to
be able to promote that properly, because I don't know too much,
(44:39):
they also never had no album.
You know what I mean?
That's another thing is that Ifeel like Lloyd and Ja Rule is
the only ones that really had analbum.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
No, that's what I'm saying.
So why do you feel like theydidn't?
So you feel like it was justbecause they was real street
niggas?
They just, they just didn't.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yeah, I don't know.
I guess they didn't have enoughfaith in them.
I really heard Black Child andCadillac Towers on some features
and and and the Murder Inccompilation album.
You know I didn't see no.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
You segwaying into the Murder Inc compilation album
, Chill out.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Colonel, chill out, nah, I ain't going to count Like
you, don't rock like that withMurder Inc.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Oh, you say you don't .
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Because I just learned the story and when Life
Jennings got out of prison hewas supposed to sign to Murder
Inc and he was working with themand Earl was like yeah, what
year is this?
It's like when he just got outof jail.
It's like 2002.
Ah this is when they bust, this,when they busting yeah, he's
(45:49):
like yeah, man, you know we gotthis young cat named lloyd.
You know that we working withand um, but life, you are like
you dope, you know but.
And so everything seemed good.
Because, long story short, lifeknew this dude in the pen who
knew Irv Gotti, who was like IrvGotti's mans or whatever.
So he's like I'm gonna put youin soon with bruh, so he, linked
(46:11):
with bruh, linked with Irv, youknow what I'm saying.
They was talking whatever andhe played him.
You know the music must be Nice.
I Cry, you know whatever.
And Irv was like yeah, that'sdope, you know what I'm saying.
Well, you know we also workingwith this Cat Lloyd or whatever,
and we trying to have y'all belike the R&B of, you know,
(46:32):
murder Inc.
And as Life is leaving thestudio after the meeting, he's
like.
He's like, yeah, life, you dope, you know, but we're going to
save those records for later on.
You know we're going to dropsome dumb down type stuff.
You know, just some dumb, youknow, dumb down like R&B, just,
you know, to get the people youknow in tune with you.
And life wasn't going bro.
(46:54):
Life was like nah, I'm notfinna dumb, you know what I'm
saying he's like respectfully,like I'm not finna dumb, you
know what I'm saying.
He's like respectfully, like Irock with y'all but like I'm not
finna dumb down my music, likeso he was just, he's like they
cool peoples or whatever, butlike, coming into the game he
wasn't gonna dumb down his musicand we wouldn't have had if he.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
It must be nice you know what I'm saying, like we
wouldn't have had that becausethey were trying to dumb it down
and cater to you know.
So right, that's interesting,though you, um, I mean, but I
mean, wait, so that's why youdon't rock with murder inc.
I feel like, I feel like, butit went off respectfully.
(47:37):
I thought you just been sayingsome disrespectful shit, like
like he, they stole his music orsome shit.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
Oh no, no, no, bro, just what could have been bro I

So Turn Up.
Song of the Day is a song thatcame out in 1991.
I did my research on this songbecause obviously, obviously, I
was a West Coast baby and, asy'all can hear From the previous
(50:01):
songs of the days, always intosomething real Motherfucking G's
and all that shit.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
This song is no different.
West Coast.
Just let y'all know the termreally gangster though.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Stop it Anyway.
Reel it back in.
My song of the day is from aWest Coast artist that is very
underrated and, honestly andtruthfully, the only people that
really give him his flowers iseither if you're from the West
Coast or if you're like I'llprobably say 40 and older.
(50:32):
Maybe like 40 and older.
Yeah, probably I'll say like 40and older.
Dj Quick.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
Legend older.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
DJ Quick.
Legendary DJ Quick Turn up songof the day is DJ Quick's Sweet
Black Pussy.
What's interesting about thissong is Okay, let me ask you
this, Tanaka.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
And we're just ballparking, ballpark the
average um album budget.
What would you say it would be?
In in the 91 no, just I meanthat you that's what I'm saying
that you would know of from likenow, maybe like the past 20
(51:19):
years, maybe um of any artiststhat you would know?
Speaker 1 (51:27):
dang, I don't know if I I've heard of advances, but I
don't know what actual albumbudget.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
So I mean, yeah, we talked about, we were talking
about the jock joint, so theywere talking about advancing and
stuff.
How much would you think inadvance, like if we're
ballparking, how much in advancewould be?
Speaker 1 (51:44):
I used to depend on the artist, but I say I thought
too many, two M's, two M's.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
DJ Quick made his album on $30,000.
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
Incredible $30,000.
Beautiful, incredible $30,000.
What label he at.
Speaker 2 (52:05):
This label.
He was on what?
Speaker 1 (52:09):
was he independent Profile, he was on Profile, so
this album Sweet Black Pussy wason Profile.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
So this album, sweet Black Pussy was on, was the
first track of Quick Is the Name.
It was a DJ Quick album thatcame out in 91.
First song, so off-riff, youlisten to Sweet Black Pussy.
So what I can say just from myknowledge of Sweet Black Pussy
is that, goddamn, this song waslike it's super raunchy and this
(52:43):
was around.
This is the time where it waslike it was fashionable for
artists when they had a topic tostay on topic.
So that's literally all he'stalking about.
The whole song is sex and pussy.
That's like the whole song.
He's not talking about his neck, he's not talking about his
wrist, like.
He's not like talking aboutwhat he might talk about.
(53:04):
He might make some referencesto the club or some shit or a
party or whatever, but for themost part he's talking about
pussy the whole time.
Speaker 1 (53:10):
I ain't okay.
I know I'm very familiar withthis record oh, you've heard the
song before.
Very much so.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
So what's interesting about this song was well, of
course, of course I was For theteenage reasons.
You said for teenage reasons.
Yeah, what do you mean forteenage?
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (53:30):
This was an uncut video I used to watch all the
time.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
Oh, back when you used to do it on the computer.
I remember you telling me aboutthat.
Speaker 1 (53:36):
Yeah, I remember you telling me about that, anyway.
Speaker 2 (53:40):
Obviously, I found out about this song late,
because when the song came out Iwas like negative three.
So, yeah, I wouldn't even havethought of it.
So I used to.
When I was younger, my momwould have a CD collection in
her room.
In this drawer she had this bigthing, it'd be a TV and then
(54:05):
under that it'd be a drawer fullof CDs and DVDs.
So every so often because I'm akid, I don't know why I would
think something would change orsomething.
I would just go through the CDsand just look at them, like
just look at them, and thatwould be one of the CDs I would
see she had the Quickest Namealbum.
Oh gosh.
And then I would look on theback and I would see the name of
(54:27):
that sweet black pussy and I'dbe like never heard it, never
heard the song.
But I finally heard the songwhen I was probably like high
school maybe high school, yeah,probably like high school and I
heard it and I just, I just fellin love with it because the
song is so funny to me like I'llbe knocking bitches, like it
(54:49):
ain't shit because I'm playing amotherfucking name dj quick.
Maybe it's the way I hold mydick that make all the girlies
want to ride my tits.
Like this song is just nah thepart that kills me.
Some of these bitches try toecho unfair.
Maybe it's because my hair islong, because I'm like noah's
ark.
My bitches come in pairs likewhat, oh bro, I fucking love
(55:14):
sweet black pussyussy bro, thatsong is amazing.
Speaker 1 (55:18):
It is though.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
But yeah.
So I want to say high schoolwas the first time I finally
heard the song, and I firstheard the song by seeing the
video.
It was on YouTube, but this wasback when YouTube was really
really strict about havingnudity, so you would have to go
far, you gotta dig was reallyreally strict about having
nudity, right.
Speaker 1 (55:38):
So like you would have to go like like oh, you
gotta dig, you gotta dig.
Speaker 2 (55:41):
Sweet Black Pussy would be one of the ones that
would only have like 500 views.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
I ain't gonna lie, I had to go on like a forum to see
that yeah.
Speaker 2 (55:51):
So, um, I just remember seeing it and I'm like,
and I'm sitting here tripping,I'm like, how am I watching?
This like it's like like these,like I see titties and shit,
like it was all oh bro, it waswild.
Speaker 1 (56:03):
They had the wildest joint because I think they had
positioned the camera likeunderneath the girl's, like
pussy.
Yeah, and I was like yo this iswild.
Yeah, exactly right, looking upthe Oscar card.
Yo, this is crazy, wow.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
But um, so, so some, so some digging a little bit, a
little digging I did do,apparently.
The recording session tookplace in 1990 at the Westlake
Recording Studio in LA.
And once again, a productionbudget of $30,000.
Amazing, bro, that's a car.
Right, that's a car, bro.
(56:42):
And of course it's DJ Quickwe're talking about.
For people that don't know whoDJ Quick is, he's a West Coast
rapper, but at the same time hewas a producer.
He's more legendary.
Speaker 1 (56:52):
Yeah, and he's a DJ.
Speaker 2 (56:54):
Yes, very much so Hence the DJ, but he's more
legendary for his productionthan his rapping he is.
He does have some legendaryhits like rapping, but he's more
a legend for his producing, sohe's a producer as well.
Speaker 1 (57:09):
and you can tell, yeah, he's just a pioneer, like
he was one of the.
He like is one of the pioneersfor like the west coast sound
you know I'm saying like for youknow the dj quick sound like.
Speaker 2 (57:20):
That's how impactful he was yeah, he, I feel like he
gave it that funk.
Yeah, like I feel like he likecame up with like fun, because
even like well, to reel it out alittle bit, like on his like
future albums after quick as aname, he would have his joints
called quick groove, where it'slike just him just jamming out
no rapping or nothing, he's justjamming out with the funk and
(57:40):
shit.
But yeah, uh, but yeah, so sweetblack pussy.
He made the beat and yeah, youknow, what's wild about this
song is the fact that this islike this.
That was like consideredraunchy, like not like.
This is like come and put thatpussy on me, don't be running
from me, it's normal now.
Speaker 1 (58:02):
I know, I can only imagine.
I wonder if he got backlash forthat.
Speaker 2 (58:09):
He probably did.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
He had to, you gotta think it's only like what, three
years after NWA no, this isduring NWA bro or during NWA
cause didn't NWA came out like88 or 89?
Speaker 2 (58:26):
hold on, let me ask you this, okay, well, yeah, well
, it's still during, becausethere's still a thing.
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Yeah, yeah, I'm saying Ice Cube just isn't in it
this is, uh, this is the niggasfor life, okay, in it.
Speaker 2 (58:36):
This is the niggas for life.
This is the automobile NWA.
Speaker 1 (58:39):
I just think back to you see how NWA had to fight for
their music, and that was onlythree years before Sweet.
Speaker 2 (58:47):
Black Pussy came out.
You can only imagine, how folksWell, it's not a single as well
.
All of NWA's singles.
I guess this was the time oftwo live crew as well, like I
want to say two live crew waslike mid 90s mid 90s for real, I
feel like it was, but I don'tknow, I'm probably wrong?
Speaker 1 (59:07):
I don't know I don't know, I'm kind of, I'm kind of
iffy with the two live crew.
Speaker 2 (59:11):
Uh history.
But um, yeah, dj quick, sweetblack pussy beautiful.
Is um, it's very.
But yeah, dj Quick, sweet BlackPussy Beautiful.
It's a very interesting song.
It's kind of equivalent to EasyEase, give Me that Nut.
It's just a real funny, justreal interesting song.
I don't know if there's anysampling or anything.
(59:32):
I think he just kind of justdid all that and stuff.
Speaker 1 (59:36):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (59:38):
So apparently, yeah, apparently, you were right, bro.
80s Too high proof.
It was 80s, yeah, but yeah.
So if you're looking for someinteresting, funny, raunchy shit
to listen to on some West Coastvibe, I would definitely
recommend you look up DJ Quick'sSweet Black Pussy.
That's the turn-up song of theday.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
Beautiful bro, dj Quick, sweet Black Pussy.
That's the turn-up song of theday.
Beautiful bro, love it.
Love it, man.
