(02:25):
Um, uh, wait, which one camefirst?
Arkansas, shout out to arkansaswas.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Uh, arkansas was cool man, um, I mean, I'm, I, I
enjoyed that trip more obviouslybecause I, I was, I wasn't
under the weather, um, but yeah,it was, uh, it was good to be
out there.
We stopped by in memphis and,um, I was trying to put them

(02:54):
folk on to like the barbecuespaghetti, you know, because
that's like, uh, I don't knowthat joint tastes good to me.
They they wasn't really effingwith it.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Oh, drip, was it?
No, no, they didn't like it.
Oh, the way he had brought itup to.
Oh wait, no, I guess he wasjust trying to talk to me.
Yeah, yeah, talk to talk, yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
But yeah, no, it was cool.
We stopped by Memphis, one ofthe places so I had kind of a
hit list of like all thesebarbecue spots that we was going
to hit up, just so that wecould figure out you know what
the best spot was.
But unfortunately one of themwas not open.
They were undergoingrenovations.

(03:43):
Of them was not open.
They were undergoingrenovations but apparently the
word didn't really get outbecause we saw like a whole
handful of folks that pulled up,you know I'm saying to try and
get some food, but they didn'trealize it was closed.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
So so is this spot like a landmark spot that people
go to when?
I guess so, man yeah, I guess.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
So, man, yeah, I guess.
So.
I mean, there's a lot ofbarbecue spots in the city and I
kind of just did my homework onthe way over there just to kind
of figure out you know what tocheck out, and so, yeah, so well

(04:24):
, yeah, actually actually a lotwent into that.
That was a lot.
Let's talk about it.
Yeah, I was supposed to go tosleep.
Drip had a late night Friday,so I was going to be the main
driver Saturday and I just couldnot go to sleep.
You know, do we want to have aguest appearance at all?

(04:46):
All right, go for it.
Okay, dj AC, you are on the TNTpodcast.
Would you like to say anythingto the people?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Ah, fuck.
Well, you called us sir, sothat's on you.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Oh yeah, I was calling the bullshit.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, I figured that's up to you sir more shout
out to the run-in from djc shoutout to ac.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
But um, so yeah, I I was.
I was attempting to go to sleepbut I like I wasn't able to go
to sleep.
I got maybe one hour sleep andI wake up and um, so I didn't
know who was there, I didn'tknow breezy had came over.
I didn't know who was there, Ididn't know if Breezy had came
over, I didn't know if Drip hadcame over.

(05:47):
What the deal was?
I just see Nia out there.
Nia was like yeah, drip wantedto go save somebody.
And I was completely thrown off.
I said what are you talkingabout?
Going to save somebody?
Like yeah.
So I was like good lord, okay,so anyway, me and breezy

(06:11):
eventually get to drip's houseto for the meetup time, to
embark on this journey.
And as we're loading up the car, I thought there was a sheet in
the backseat.
I thought it was just, like youknow, tossed in the back Right,
and come to find out there'ssomebody underneath the blanket.

(06:33):
Like I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Awesome.
So I don't think I ever askedthis question, but so how did
y'all find out that there wassomebody under there?
Did somebody just try to sit onthe blanket that they?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
moved.
No, so I was talking to Drip inthe front passenger.
I go to the back because I wasgoing to like you know, there's
more room and stuff and we'retrying to put our stuff in there
.
And then, all of a sudden, theblanket moved.
I was like what the fuck?
You know what I'm saying?
Okay, gotcha.
And then the blanket moved.
I was like what the fuck?
And then, yeah, she's like hey,I was like man, dre, you wasn't

(07:10):
going to give us the heads up.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm over here thinking that wejust, you know, to meet him and
Breezy and come to find out.
Dre, you know, gives us apleasant surprise On brand, on
brand, indeed.
So, but yeah, basically I wasable to, I guess, shoulder most

(07:37):
of the drive over.
The only reason I didn't do thewhole thing is because we had
stopped by, we had to go getsome gas and Drip was like he
saw there was a casino nearby.
So he's like, oh, come on bro,please, bro, you got to, let me

(07:57):
get something.
I said, drip, we got to get tothe venue.
Man, what you talking about,bro?
Please bro, come on bro, justjust.
I was like oh, my gosh.
So all right, joe, I'm going tokeep an eye on that clock.
Now.
We not finna be here all day,because we got to get to.
We got business to attend to man, we got to have time to set up

(08:21):
and all that.
So you know this was after wehad left Memphis we pulled up to
.
Well, ironically it was locatedin West Memphis, but it's West
Memphis, arkansas, so it washella confusing.
But anyway, so we go in there.

(08:41):
Drip, you know, was over thereat the craps table, you know,
doing his thing, and out here,and he did come up, I ain't
gonna lie, he did come up, youknow what I'm saying, made some
money.
You know was speaking on howyou know real Atlanta's going on
, you know what I'm saying, andall that real atlantis going on,

(09:07):
you know what I'm saying, andall that.
So we finally get to the venue,the college, and, um, you know,
we setting up, and it reallydidn't take as long to set up at
all, and and then come to findout we actually had a little bit
more time than anticipated.
Um, so we was, we went to go eatat this spot across the street.
It was a cool little collegefood spot.

(09:30):
They got burgers and that sortof deal.
It was good, it was just veryvanilla.
It was almost like that scenein life when they uh, walked in,
you know, and was trying to get, you know, a pie, and they're
like, how about we turned youinto it was one of those.

(09:53):
Well, they, they wasn't rudethough, you know what I'm saying
, but that's what it felt like,because we walked in and it was
looks like and they were juststaring at you.
It couldn't end like a movielike you, right, and they were
just staring at you.
It could have been like a movielike Right.
That's how we do it.
So, yeah, you know, we're theonly minorities in there.

(10:17):
And yeah, breezy and Drip,though, they rock that thing,
you know, they was rocking thatheadphone joint.
He did Shout out to ArkansasTech, you know that man Breezy

(10:37):
had the vanilla pack on stooland it seemed like everybody
enjoyed themselves.
So, you know, I was real proud,proud of the crew, you know.
And then we ended up decidingjust to drive all the way back.
We didn't even stay in Arkansas.
So, yeah, we were driving, orwhatever.

(10:57):
And then Drip had to go, stufflike that.
So yeah, breezy drovezy, drove,I think, two hours trip, I
think drove four, maybe I don'tknow.
I I ain't no driving the most,but um, but yeah, it's just no

(11:18):
thing, man.
So then the second trip um, Iwasn't feeling well and I had to
DJ late night before, so it wasa Caribbean night with AC and I
just had body chills.
Man, I felt something the daybefore like a sore throat type

(11:39):
of deal, and so I don't know ifthat was from Gwinnett or I
don't know if that was from thekaraoke bar.
I don't know if that was fromGwinnett or I don't know if that
was from the karaoke bar, Idon't know, you know which one.
But yeah, it caught up with meFriday because I basically had
slept all day and I still feltlike I had zero energy, you know
.
So AC is over there.

(12:01):
Oh man, I knew it.
You going to do this to meagain tonight.
You going to call out on theCaribbean night for me, bro.
Oh, my God, I said AC, I didn'tsay all that.
I just told you I'm not feelingwell, but I'm still going to
show up, I'm still going to.
You know, do my obligation.
You dig Like, I got you.

(12:23):
So we do the Caribbean night.
You know saying shots, all thefolks that came out and
supported I appreciate it and uhand yeah.
So you know I soldier throughthat and then I ended up going

(12:46):
home to rest and then woke upand did end up driving.
You know what I'm saying andall that and we didn't make no
stops this time.
Well, we stopped by Bucky'sreally just to go to the
bathroom for real, but, likethis time around, we just went
straight to North Carolina, Likewe didn't make no stop for no

(13:09):
food or nothing To and from orjust to.
Yeah From, yeah, yeah from.
We didn't even stop like thatfor real, like we stopped just
to get gas, like we didn't evenstop by bucky's this time.
You know, you know how theylove them.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Some bucky's you dig, so explain to me what it is
about.
Bucky's that like is just uh Idon't know I'm the wrong person.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
You gotta ask drip, you know they, they where is
this like this tradition to stopby bucky's?
I'm not going to lie, they gota vast amount of stuff in there.
You know food wise, you dig andall that you know.
I really just was impressed bythe sweets.
You know, and I don't know ifthat's just you know me, but

(13:57):
like they, they be having somesandwiches and it was cool, but
it wasn't like, ah, like I gotta, it was cool, but it wasn't
like.
I got to go there you know whatI'm saying To cop that joint.
Really, I kind of regrettedgetting the sandwich I got.
I was like dang, I probablyshould have just got some Taco
Bell or something.
And why is that?

(14:18):
I don't know.
It was just like it was cool.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
It wasn't no like.
Oh, it was one of those.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
It was like oh okay, this is yeah.
Like I feel like I would havebeen better with like something
that you actually well, I didn'trealize taco bell was like
right next door, and then on topof that I was like, yeah, I
figured a chalupa would haveprobably did me a lot better
yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
So the the sandwich was like you taking a risk, and
Taco Bell you knew was the onethat you liked.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, I know what I'm going to get, right, you know
what I'm saying.
Or Crunchwrap Supreme that'skind of my go-to with Taco Bell.
It's a little bit in theCrunchwrap Supreme, so but yeah,
you know, yeah, I was surprised, man.
I was surprised.
I thought, for sure, drip wouldbe like oh yeah, we're going to

(15:08):
bucky's.
But on the way back he was likenah, bro, we're just gonna go
straight.
I mean, I'm not gonna complain,I'm not feeling.
Well, you know what I'm saying.
So, um, but yeah, anyway.
So at the party, when we got inNorth Carolina, so on the way

(15:29):
over there, I wasn't feelingthat great.
I had like a.
It was just like a slightheadache.
And then so body chills and aheadache, yeah, so the body
chills kind of wore off.
It was mainly during the sessionthat I had the body chills and
then I rested and then I droveand I mean I really looked crazy

(15:51):
because it was hot as helloutside I said probably 96
degrees outside and I had ahoodie and a sweatpants on.
So you already know.
That sums up with me, becausewhy the f**k you wearing that in
96 degree weather?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
but nah, the youngins probably don't.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
They wear bubble jackets so I just, yeah, I
wasn't feeling good, so that'swhy I was wearing all that.
I wasn't going to play no games, so what.
You were trying to sweat it out.
Not even I think I was.
Just like I would have been toocold if I had shorts and a
t-shirt on, you know.
And so so we get in North.
I think I would have been toocold if I had shorts and a
t-shirt on.
So we get to North Carolina.

(16:31):
A little drama ensued.
We was able to smooth that out.
I had to calm everybody down.
It was getting a little chippy,you know what I'm saying.
And it really shouldn't have weshould?
You know we all been traveling.
Obviously, everybody gets alittle tired, a little irritated

(16:53):
.
It's hot outside, you know.
Yeah, it's just like all right,look, we're here.
So calm down, let's.
You know, let's just do what wegot to do, get in the room and
relax.
So we get into the room.
I'm over there trying to take anap, you know what I'm saying,

(17:15):
trying to rest up, and then wedrive over to the spot
Everybody's setting up.
I decided to go back to thehotel just to take a shower and
just properly get right for theparty, just so I could, I could
get through it.
And then, um, you know, dripdid.
His thing was going crazy.
Uh, I had a little familyemergency.

point it's like the wholemomentum the vibe, you gotta

out.
But I could.
I was over there trying to goto sleep.
I'm having a little bit of cozy, you feel me, because I'm not
really accustomed to that, youknow.
And um, eventually I'm able tofall asleep a little bit and
then another movie comes on,okay, and and it's like, uh,

(20:54):
it's a real dramatic.
Holmes is like, uh, I forgotwhat his shout name was.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
He's just like look, it's over, okay, I haven't

And then I'm over there.
So now, now I'm intrigued.
I'm supposed to be sleeping,but now I'm just like this, this
whole drama.
I'm right down.
You know what I'm saying Home,finna, leave, shout out the 18

(21:34):

And then, um, I just hear youwhat?
You not gonna let that man dothat to you?
Okay, we're gonna go over thereand we're gonna get half of
everything.
And it turns out it's medea.
And one thing about me I I don'twatch you know what I'm saying

(21:56):
a lot of bc, all that, but I hadnever seen no medea.
I haven't seen not one medeamovie.
My roommate was always like hedoesn't like those movies
because he feels like thosestereotypes of, you know, black
folks is just like over the topand all that.
So I never really like, paidattention to none of that.

(22:17):
But yeah, that was aninteresting experience, you know
watching.
So I'm over here trying to goto sleep but this thing is like
blasting and my d is just goingoff.
Yeah, you heard me.
So.
So basically I would fallasleep and then I would wake
back up and to hear somethingyeah, you know what I'm saying,

(22:40):
type of deal, so, um, so yeah,so that you know.
So I will say I wasn't able tofully knock out.
It was kind of like I wouldsleep a little bit way back up,
sleep a little you know what I'msaying.
So, and there was like no way offinding the remote I ain't know
where it was, man, you know, Ifeel like it might have.

(23:00):
You know, jj may have fellasleep on the top of it, or
something.
You know, jj Mayfield asleep onit, top of it, or something,
yeah, you know.
So they're just over there,knocked out, like you know like,
and so so, yeah, we finallyleaving North Carolina and I'm
just like what the hell y'allhad me watching, bro, you know

(23:21):
what I'm saying.
This thing over here, blainetrying to get sleep, and Shardé
over there and something, andRina over there, like, nah, you
never seen Madea, that's Madea'swoo, woo, woo.
And I ain't know.
You know what I'm saying, causeI know there's a whole bunch of
Madea movies and all that.
So she's like, yeah, I watchedthat movie, like several times,

(23:45):
or whatever.
And I was like, yeah, I don'tknow, I don't know nothing about
all that, man, you know so.
So, yeah, so we got back NorthCarolina, back from North
Carolina, man, and, and Drip waswarning everybody.
He was like, look man, y waswarning everybody.
He was like, look man, y'allbetter take this medicine now.
You know what I'm saying Now,over here, sick, and then, sure

(24:10):
enough, jj ended up getting sick.
So, jj been out of commissionfor a little bit.
I hope JJ get better though.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Well, that's all I have to listen.
Yeah, I think I can honestlysay well, piggybacking back on
the Tyler Perry movies.
I think I can honestly say Well, piggy and Back on the Tile of
Perry movies.
I think I've only seen TwoDiaries of a Mad Black Woman and
I think the one that came outafter that.
I've seen pieces Of the onewith Bow Wow and Tiana Taylor,

(24:39):
cause that's the one everybody'slike, byron, that's the one
everybody always talks about.
And I don't think I think thatwas the only two I've seen.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah, what's your analysis of these Medea movies?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
it's kind of like have you ever you don't watch
the boondocks you ever seen thatepisode where they're making
fun did?

Speaker 3 (25:00):
you know, there's an episode where he's making fun of
Tyler Perry.
No, so there's an episode wherethey're making fun of Tyler
Perry.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
No, so there's an episode where they're making fun
of Tyler Perry and basicallywhat I was going to say to your
question was the boondocks hitit on the head.
So what it seems like thestereotype is woman is married
to man, man beats woman, womanis distressed, depressed, and

(25:26):
all that Ends up meeting agarbage man or someone that
works at McDonald's or someonethat does like a janitor, the
nice blue collar man.
Yes, but the dude is always likePaul's fine, he's like a Morris
Chestnutnut or a michael bjordan or uh, and the guy he's

(25:48):
always, she's always with islike like a I don't know, like a
fucking, just kind of a nerdyeah, well, no, not a nerd
because he's beating on him likeuh, I don't know, he's always a
ball, it's always a ball head,chubby ish looking guy and like
the girl is always like not thefine, she's not like the finest
girl, but she's like okay, likeshe's always like yeah, and then

(26:11):
like the like I said, thejanitor or the fucking is always
like cock, diesel, morse,chestnut, tay, digs like one of,
like one of those like right,handsome, yeah, yeah, one of
them, dapper, damn motherfuckers.
And so at first the janitor isalways going for the girl and
then the girl's kind of hesitantand then after a while he takes

(26:34):
her on a date and then they goon a date and then they kind of
feel each other.
They end up finding out aboutthe.
It's basically once you watch,you've seen one, you've seen
them all, basically oh, and thenmedea comes in with the
foolishness in between all ofthat like it's like I feel like
it's kind of rinse what I say,rinse, wash, repeat.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
It's like kind of just okay, whatever, because I'm
not gonna cap.
You described it to a c, so itmay be so it was.
So it was a movie I I seen waspretty much what you just
explained.
Holmes is out there in theopening scene.
He's just like what are youdoing?
What are you doing?

(27:14):
It's like, look man, they hiredme to do a job.
I'm over here packing up allthis stuff.
Those are my things.
Why are you taking them?
And then they reconnect somehowlater on down the road.
You feel me.
Stuff, those are my things.
And why are you taking?
And then, you know, theyreconnect somehow later on down
the road.
You feel me and he just, youknow, let me take you out on the
date he did.
And, of course, you know homes.
You know handsome individuallike he, not, you feel me, right

(27:36):
, all that with the braids andall that, right, you know
exactly.
And yeah, she's over there,like you know the, the scorn,
the black woman.
You know what I'm saying likeand all that.
And she's just like, nothesitant to trust him, you know,
cause she's been hurt so bad.

(27:56):
You feel me and all that.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
I didn't see the end of it, but I can assume that you
know.
Well, I gotta add that to mylist of shit we gotta watch is
the boondocks tyler perryepisode, and of course they
don't say actually tyler perry,they.
They use another name buteverybody knows that's who, who
they're talking about.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
It's fucking hilarious but, um yeah, so so
that was consistent with the twothat you absolutely okay,
absolutely, because I rememberit was.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I vaguely remember the first one, which is
interesting, because I thinkthat's the one I've seen the
most, but the first, the secondone I vaguely remember because I
think they were like in abachelor, they had like a
bachelorette party and likethere was like male strippers
and then the guy walks in withthe male strippers in there and
then like he's like kind of calm, it's like OK, don't quote me,

(28:52):
it's fucking Tyler Perry.
I don't remember this, but Ithink it's something along the
lines of they're leaving,everybody's leaving, the friends
, the male strippers,everybody's leaving.
And the girl closed the doorand as soon as she turns around,
all yours and like she's likeit's backhanded, some shit, and
then like yeah, so basicallysome shit, I don't know some

(29:13):
shit like that, but yeah so, andit's always funny, the medea.
The medea always comes inrandomly like it's just, she's
just the, the comedy of all thatand honestly, that was really
the.
That was really the hook linesinker for me.
I had no idea what tyler perrywas.
Medea just looked funny.
I thought it was gonna be likeeddie murphy.
I thought it was gonna be likeone of those eddie murphy goofy

(29:34):
movies and then like I'm in afucking love romance movie and I
was like probably would neverwatch this again, um, but to
reel it back in, um, I'm tryingto in, I'm trying to think, I'm
trying to think of the timeline.
The 2010s party Was thatArkansas or was that North
Carolina?
Arkansas, arkansas, yeah,arkansas, yeah, yes, that was

(30:02):
Arkansas, because Karina waswith me, yeah, and yeah, she
could have been with me.
She was at North Carolina, yeah, but yeah, shout out to
everybody that came to that it'sprobably the most fun I ever
had, and that's including trapfever and that's including nice
and slow.
Yep, that will definitelyhappen again.

(30:23):
Mark, my words, I don't knowwhen People wondering when part
two come out, are they really?
I ain't mind, I know Rina had aball.
Look, I just know I have funbecause after every session I
mean, obviously, except trafficwe run nice and slow, but at the
end we usually do the slide andsplit, so everybody get out of

(30:44):
here.
I was literally like, look,there's still hella songs.
I didn't get to play.
I'm finna, just run this shitfor like five minutes.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, I still took a picture, man.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
I think they did.
We need to start this up.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Man.
Turn up the 2010 button.
Go ahead, man.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Has a good ring to it .
I like that ring to it, butyeah, nah.
So that was funny.
Apparently that was likeshoelaces return to recording, I
guess.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Hey man, shout out shoelaces bro, I'm always saying
it, bro, she won like best inthe game for real.
You know, I wish that.
You wish that she ain't leadthe game, but I respect whatever
she's doing.
But yeah, you know what I'msaying.
Y'all folk talk about top video.
I would first shout out toShoelace for real Right.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
I'm trying to think Anything else happen.
Let me look at this list.
Oh, so I'm going to just get myroses to uh, straight out of
gco real quick.
Right, because I've.
I remember making strategy coand I was like not necessarily
hesitant because like I knewthere was enough, enough skaters

(32:00):
that will want to come to that,that like it would do something
.
But the fact that they're ableto make their own homegrown
skaters is what is what makes meappreciate straight out of gco
more than anything, because Iwould have never thought that it
would be like folks that I'venever seen before like come to

(32:24):
Sparkles Gwinnett and never seenanywhere else.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
So like you gotta kind of assume that they this is
their home ring, the SparklesGwinnett so it's impressive, bro
, like honestly, straight atGico I was gonna have a special
place, cause that's how Shot byTanaka started.
So it's like it's kind of onein the same, you know right,

(32:49):
kind of go hand in hand, youfeel me?

Speaker 1 (32:51):
so right and sure.
Well, if we're going to talkabout strategy, co we got, we
talked about the one that justpassed.
This one was a little differentbecause, um, we actually uh
were, we were actually not inthe skate area.
We were actually on that otherone because we had the other DJ

(33:13):
booth next to the joint, likehow Smyrna does on that little
corner.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Next to the play area .

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah, so I told I kind of forced him.
But I was like all right, ifyou're having all these excuses,
bro, you're gonna come and um,you're gonna come and host with
me, are?
You actually gonna saysomething this time?
Oh, you're turning up, you knowI got you, and so I'm like I'm
already there and then like, oh,let me run it back real quick

(33:44):
to shout out to the shout out tomy rev.
She had actually been actuallybeen doing a lot better when,
when'd you get the red.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Just let folk.
When'd you get the?

Speaker 1 (33:52):
rev.
It was on, uh, friday.
It was on Friday, it's like afew weeks ago, has it been?
I feel like it was on a friday.
It's like a few weeks ago, hasit been?
I feel like it's been a monthnow.
I don't know, it's been a fewweeks to a month now, but, um,
middle of july, basically, somealong those lines.
The only reason why I kind ofremember that well, I remember

(34:14):
that it's a friday was becauseit was the day that, um, dirty
dan did uh, stone mountain.
So I was like I was like I waslike you know what, let me go
test it out, see what this jointfeels like, and all that stuff
Anyway.
So for a few weeks I was ridingaround with both controllers in

(34:39):
my car and I was like you knowwhat, let me just go ahead and
tell them.
So I text them.
I'm like, hey, zai, just bringyour computer, I have both of my
boards, you can use the otherboard.
And so we did that.
We did that.
He DJed on the 1000.
I DJed on the Rev.
And then what Z you talkingabout?

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Zai, dj Zai.
Oh my fuck, yeah, no, no, Ijust Not.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Zy Atlanta, that's what I'm saying.
No, I would think Zy, I'll callhim Zy Atlanta.
Oh, okay, okay, or maybe Zy,but that's why I call the other
one.
Well, that's not why I call him, but I remember he told me he
went by Z, so if you tell meyour, yeah, so when he, um, he

(35:28):
plugged into mine and I pluggedinto the rev and then eventually
drip came and then drip pluggedinto the rev and then I plugged
into the 1000 and so you knowit's cool rotation of djs that
were djing or whatever and itseemed like everybody had a good
time.
Um, trying to think, anythinghappened, uh, that today or that
night.
No I think everything.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
It felt bad, man.
Everybody was asking for me topull up, but I just.
When was that?

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Was that the day before North Carolina?

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Yeah, yeah, it's under the weather, man, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Right, because I don't even think you didn't even
come to that Monday.
No, yeah, you didn't even cometo that monday.
No, yeah, you didn't even cometo that monday session.
So so, yeah, uh shout out toshout out to jiko.
Um, I want to do, I want togive another shout out to, uh,
avalanche.
Yeah, we just did the wednesdaysession, which was very

(36:24):
interesting, and was moreinteresting about that whole
thing Because, honestly andtruthfully, it was kind of it
was kind of what I expected itto be.
But what's more interestingabout that whole thing is I will
never, I don't and I I willnever understand how Avalanche

(36:45):
DJs that little shit he doeswith the.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Oh, I haven't watched him enough to witness this.
Oh wait, Do you know what I'mtalking?

Speaker 1 (36:54):
about Kind of, but not really how he mixes, because
he's so used to not having acomputer and I guess he's used
to just having turntables.
He's so used to not having acomputer and I guess he's used
to just having turntables.
So, um, instead of like I guess, guiding it as he's
transitioning, he'll do the.
He'll do the thing with thepitch, with a little pitch shit,

(37:16):
like he'll like move it up anddown like really fast, like
really to the point that it'slike the waves are like going
like this and I guess after acertain point it will adjust.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
but dude, that shit looks nuts uh, yeah, I gotta pay
more attention to see in action, because I ain't allowed.
I'm quite comprehending with sookay.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
So just picture this right.
So you're mixing, you're mixingthe two songs together, right,
and like one is a little off.
Like one is a little off, likeone is one supposed it's
supposed to be like this, butone of them's like this and by
the way, obviously you guysdon't know what I'm talking
about I'm just trying to explainthis to tanaka at this point.
But yeah then, one's right here,one's right here.

(38:01):
So for him, instead of himguiding it like with, like the
jog wheel, he'll take, he'lltake the fucking, um, the little
pitch, whatever, whatever theshit's called, what's it called?

Speaker 2 (38:14):
the pitch, something, this shit, this shit right here
tempo joint yeah, the temposhit.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Yeah, he'll take the tempo shit and make it super
fast, so it'll just like it'lllike, try to like.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
So he just won't align the BPMs.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
I guess I don't know.
Look, I don't know, that's howthey.
I guess that's how they learned.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Oh, and I mean, I'm not mad at you, I'm just saying,
though, like so.
So something's at 90 bpm.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
He's gonna play the song at 95 on the other side and
then so he won't keep it at 95,but he'll like he's gonna
adjust it though yeah as it's inthe mix, so like he'll go from
goddamn 95 to like 85, back to95, and then it'll be at 90, and
then it'll be like this.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
But dude, I don't know, I guess we got a dj with
turntables I understand oh, no,for sure probably.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
But yeah, no, I ain't gonna lie, you definitely gotta
see that shit in action.
That shit is interesting, thatshit is interesting, shout out
to avalanche, shout out toavalanche, that that shit is
mind-blowing.
Like I was looking at that, Iwas like yeah I, I gotta see
that.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
I gotta see that I really haven't.
When I really think about it, Ihaven't been to a lot of
avalanche sessions, so like wheneverybody be talking down, like
I just I can't even comment onit because I don't think I've
been to an avalanche session.
Or like if I had been to one,like a cascade sunday, I didn't
know that he would dj well, look, look, I'll just say it like

(39:46):
this.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Keezy summed it up the best.
It's not that Avalanche sucks,he just doesn't fucking care.
He doesn't care what anybodythinks, and honestly and
truthfully, that's the best wayto be in my opinion, and I think
not finally gotten to thatpoint, but I I think I've gotten

(40:08):
to that point where it's likewhere folks would say something
from the skate floor and itwon't be like.
It'd probably be like oneperson, I don't know, it'd
probably be like one person orsome shit, and they'll look at
me from the floor and I'd belike what most times I used to
just like ignore him and just goback to my computer or whatever
.
I'll just look back at you.

(40:28):
What like is that supposed tolike?
Am I supposed to stop what I'mdoing because you're you?
have an attitude right like thatjoint is crazy, and it's been a
lot.
It's been a lot of that lately,like it'd be like one person.
I'd be like, okay, like am Isupposed to stop what I'm doing?
Because, like prime example,well, not for me.

(40:49):
Well, yeah, it kind of it kindof was for me, because it was on
trains and trios we just did acascade session not we, but drip
just did that cascade sessionon sunday that was.
That was a very weird sessionoh, it was but it felt a little
weird.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
I was like it's an interesting energy yeah but you
know what's crazy about that.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
You kind of summed it up.
You kind of summed it up onanother situation and I didn't
think about this till right now,yeah where you said that when
drip is being himself, he killsit.
Yeah, when he tries to like dosomething that's not him and he

(41:32):
tries to like incorporate othershit from other djs or whatever
the whatever the case may be,that's when it gets a little
fishy I think.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
I think it's like um, I think with drip, we gotta
just let him know that, but likehe undervalues how creative he
is.
You know, I'm saying I think Ijust like drip, bro.
Just just do you, or you'recreative enough.
You don't need to use theseother folk creativity, you know
what I'm saying.
Like you be coming up with somefashion, like, just believe in
that, bro.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
Like you know what I'm saying and I feel like, I
feel like that's kind of what hedid on on Sunday, because he
like started like trying to playstuff that I play, and I was
telling him like, okay, I meanthat might be cool, but like you
might want to do this or youmight want to do that or you
might want to, and then, andthen he said, oh no, I might do

(42:24):
this, I might do it this way,and I'm like all right, okay,
okay, um, I mean, honestly,that's not how I would do it,
but at the same time, you don'twant to do it exactly how I do
it, but I wouldn't do it thatway.
But I mean, hey, go for it, yeah.
And then he did it that way andboy well, not boy, but it was
just this one girl, this onegirl had one just just just did

(42:46):
not, I guess, just did not likethe song, I guess that's so
crazy, because now that I thinkthat, because I didn't know what
he was talking about when hegot on the mic and said it, and
now, now it makes it, all makessense now oh yeah, everybody
heard him.
Yeah, they heard him in themarquis lounge.
You heard nini says he was likeI don't give a damn.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
I was like dang, who is he talking to right now?
I was like I thought he mayhave had the mic on by accident
or something Like you know whatI'm saying.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
See, but that's the thing I wouldn't.
I wouldn't air myself out likethat, Like you're doing more
damage to you than you are tothat person.
Yeah, Because.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Or like when Breezy, when Breezy.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
I don't give a damn, bro you're mad.
Bro, just relax, relax.
Bro you're mad, relax.
What was I saying?
It would be more.
My response would be more likeit's always the folks with
opinions that think that theiropinion matters.
That would be more of myresponse than I don't care about

(44:00):
the slow set.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
I mean, you might not really care about the slow set,
but they don't have to knowthat.
I don't know.
It just kind of gave me uh tsmooth vibes back when he did
the bailout monday and um, andfolks was like and then he
started like shooting back atthem.
It's like I don't know.
I'm just not really that, I'mtrying to think well, yeah, I

(44:25):
didn't respond back becausefolks have done that to me.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
You know what I'm saying and I just well, yeah,
well you, you do it in the moreyou do it in the more respectful
way, like you're like um, hey,let me talk to you real quick.
How did you feel about this?

Speaker 3 (44:41):
yeah, I'm not, I'm not feeling well, I don't like
being on the mic already so I'mnot, I'm definitely not going to
address you on the mic, likeyou know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
You, you'd have to really like wild out, or maybe I
feel like that, but that's whatI'm saying.
I feel like that was wow.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
Now that well, see, I didn't.
I didn't see what the girl said.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Well, basically what?
Um?
When we were in the car acouple days ago and what drip
did to yoga off the mic when hewas on that video and he was
like what the fuck is this?
Oh, she said it directly to himwhat the fuck is this?
And then, like after the slowset, she was like that slow set

(45:23):
was yeah, she said what the fuckis this?

Speaker 2 (45:23):
during the slow set and then after that after the
slow set she was like, that'swhat she said, what the fuck is
this?

Speaker 1 (45:25):
during the slow set and then after that, after the
slow set, she was oh, and then,as the slow set is going on, she
stops in the middle and doesthis right in front of dj and
then on top of that, and then ontop of that right after the
slow set.
Um, it was either after the slow, either after skin or or during
like, when that altercation wasabout to happen.

(45:47):
I don't remember, I justremember the, the.
I just remember the lights wereon, okay, but um, she like goes
in front of the dj booth.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
It was like that slow set was garbage and that's when
he said that and this wassomebody that wore that cas
cascade, I guess I can show you.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
I can show you who it is.
I just don't.
Well, our only reason why Iremember her is because she I
guess she was one of the earlierpeople that did the atlanta
skate interviews.
I don't follow her or anything,but that's the only thing I
remember about her.
She, um, as a matter of fact,you probably don't remember this
, but this is one of the firstinterviews that paul did, I

(46:26):
think.
I think they're like outsidesitting on top of cars or
something, I don't know.
I'll pull it, I'll pull it up,I'll pull it up.
But yeah, but, but anywho, Ibring that up because it was
kind of like.
I feel like if, if drip wouldhave stayed in his bag, none of
that would have ever happened.
Yeah, but I mean, I don't know,I feel that I don't know, but I

(46:52):
guess we can tie that up to thecompetition.
Yeah, I mean, I'm definitelystill going to have to circle
back to other shit.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Yeah, shout out to Drip and AC.
Man, on the competition, youknow they definitely did their
thing.
They entered this competitionwith the Coalition DJs Shout out
to Coalition, and they had thisthing New Music Mondays where
they showcase independentartists and give them feedback
on their music.
But they also have, I guess Iguess it's a once a year thing

(47:22):
that they have this DJ battleand AC and D drip ended up
joining.
It came onto my radar becauseAC called me up and said they
had called him asking if he wasDJ drip and they're like no, and
then he contacted me asking meif I could get them.
You know, give him his numberand all that.

(47:43):
So but, um, yeah, it unraveledhow I predicted.
I wasn't planning on going.
I really wasn't going to goback to bailout Monday, but I
was like you know what, bro,it's something different.
You know what I'm saying Like Ibe at bailout like all the time
.
So it's like let me see how myfolk doing this.

(48:05):
You know, dj competition AC wonagainst Peso and then Drip went
against Khloe DJ Khloe, I thinkher name was and I just gotta
say, man, the Lincoln boys went2-0.

(48:27):
I was proud of Drip and AC.
They both did that thing,definitely had some, you know,
some mistakes or whatever, whichis to be expected, but you know
, I know they gonna tighten thatjoint up and come even better
the next time around, you know.
But yeah, man, it's just, it'salways dope to see how we

(48:53):
comparing against, like the restof the DJs out here, you know,
in the scene, because you know,obviously amongst us, you know
we a dope collective, but justyou never know how it is until
you, you know when you measureup, oh yeah, when you measure up
to other folks, basically yeah,I got you know it's like it was
just cool to see that, you knowit's like.

(49:15):
Yeah, we really, um, it's notnothing to play with, man, you
know dripping, they see bothdiscretion, you know what I mean
.
And I feel like that alreadywas like a, a tool that they was
winning by, because the motherfolk one of them didn't was
button pushing the whole time.

(49:36):
So like that joint already wassounding crazy, and then on top
of that, her cue points were notcorrectly placed.
So the records was coming in,the transitions was coming in
off, and then Holmes, he couldscratch, just more basic
scratching.
Baby scratch, yeah, but evensome of his transitions was off.

(50:01):
Right, his transition was likeoff, you know so.
Right, but, um, I will say thatHolmes had a better um.
His song selection, though, washaving the crowd move though,
so that's where it made it alittle close, because, a he came
with a lot of folks so theywere supporting him, and then, b
you know, what he was playingwas definitely moving the crowd

(50:25):
and who is this we're talkingabout?
His name is DJ Peso.
I thought I knew him, but Idon't know.
He looks familiar.
I feel like I've seen himbefore in like a club or a
lounge, but oh yeah, I don'tthink I know who that guy is.
Yeah, oh yeah, I don't think Iknow where that is.

(50:46):
Yeah, but um, but yeah, so youknow, um, I mean, he's already
doing stuff.
Then come to find out one ofthe independent artists that
performed, she's like affiliatedwith him, you know.
So that makes sense.
You know, as far as, as far as,just like the crowd that was

(51:12):
there for him.
Right.
You know.
But but yeah, I mean you knowit was a, it was a good deal,
man, you know what I'm saying.
And it's funny because Jer wasasking me hey, bro, should I
play this?
You know what I'm saying,before the battle and all this,
that.
And third, I was like Jer, bro,I seen you in North Carolina

(51:36):
rocking that joint and doing it.
How you do it, bro, you'regoing to be fine bro, you know
what I'm saying, you know what I.
But you know saying you don't.
You know I trust that she won'tcome correct.
And yeah, I mean it was alreadyissued because the girls having

(51:58):
trouble plugging up.
You know saying and your pad,I'll do a whole nother set.
After he just, you know, didhis joint, they they're like
well, shoot man, we got dj uphere.
Go ahead, drip man, get yousome new fans out here.
Man, go ahead and just play aset for us let's play some, you
know.
So they over there trying tofigure it out, get her properly
hooked up and all that, but jerkreally rocked that whole after,

(52:21):
after his set.
So and the judges were sayingthat they was like man.
We enjoyed the second set moreso than than the one, that's in
the competition yeah so but, um,I don't know.
It's just tricky though thejudge is tricky.
I'm not gonna capital citybecause on one hand they saying
they want you to be open, format, you know, and out of the box

(52:44):
at the same time.
They want you to rock the crowdand crowd of the box At the
same time.
They want you to rock the crowd.
The crowd in there is mainlySouthern folk.
It's like which one do y'allwant?
I'm looking forward to seeingwhat the next round is going to
be.
I did predict the joint exactly, you know AC.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
Time-wise.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
AC over there talking about oh yeah, we should be.
It said check in at 730.
So they're, like you know,probably be on like 8 o'clock
Drip over there, like tonight,what you think.
So, yeah, I'll probably be onlike 11 o'clock.
He looking at me, crazy thing.
I'm playing.
I'm like, bro, I'm telling youwhat's going to happen, bro, I

(53:31):
know how this bro, like they,they going to have all these
artists perform.
Bro, Like it don't make sensefor them to get the DJ better
out of the way.
That's like, that's like icingon the cake.
So they're going to say thatfor the last, you feel me Right
they're just going to get thatout of the way like an appetizer
.
You know, If anything, that's abonus dessert.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
That's a dessert, not an appetizer Straight up.

Speaker 3 (53:52):
So and then AC, talking about he want to put
money on it.
You know, talking about some 8,I ain't gonna put no money, but
I'm telling you it's not gonnabe no.
830, bro, I can see how this isgoing already.
Sure enough.

(54:12):
910.
All right, y'all.
We got DJ Battle on the way.
Man, you know what I'm saying,not even starting it, just on
the way.
That was the first mention thatit's gonna be cooking up pretty
soon, and so it went to like920, 930 that they really, you
know, got it going so yeah,that's all right so I guess we

(54:35):
can ask you to turn up what wasyour analysis.
You know two sets from the videothat you watched um video that
she watched.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
If I'm the parent, if I'm like the parent and like
Alvin and Drip are like thechildren and I'm just like, and
I'm like just watching, and Idon't I mean this in the most
non-harsh way, but they wouldn'treally get an applause from me,

(55:12):
right, that was that wassupposed to happen.
Right, like I'm sitting therelike Joe Jackson, like Right.
Like what you want, what?
No, that was supposed to happenthe turnabout.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
You know what I'm saying and know how we compare
to the competition.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
I hear like I mean, I don't really like to talk about
competition or anything likethat, because that's just not
the person I am.
But if I'm comparing myself, ifI'm comparing any of us to
anybody, it's got to be a reallyelite DJ that's doing shit,

(55:54):
that's like on TV or somethingLike, not one of these DJs off
the street, one of these DJsdoing lounges and shit.
I don't care about them, Ialready know we better about
them.
Yeah, I already know we betterthan them.
Yeah, like hey, popo showed up,I would've been like, well, I
don't know y'all, y'all bettercome with it.

(56:17):
But like one of these littleDJs that's doing lounges and
doing all these clubs aroundaround the city, I'm not worried
about them because I know theyonly know how to do one thing.
Right, so yeah.
But yeah man, shout out to themthey did they, they did, they
did the thing um but, I knowthat they capable of better than

(56:37):
that.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
You know what I'm saying because that that's and
that's my whole thing is that Idon't even think they had even
had a set like prepped up.
I feel like they planned alittle bit and then they're like
we're just going to wing therest of it.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
But for some people that's better for them to do
that Some people they operatelike that.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
I think AC can operate like that.
Drip I don't think could.
Oh, he needs to have somethingplanned.
Yeah, drip.
Drip said that he was like yeah, I don't know how hc did that,
because like he could do that, Igotta plan my shit out, but
like you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
So the only thing about that and I mean I don't
know.
I guess there's ways of workingaround it, but I feel like when
you plan, I feel like when youplan, like when, when it goes to
shit, the whole thing goes toshit, then what's after that?
It's true, it's true, but Idon't know, man.

(57:32):
But to really join back in,like I said last time we were on
here was the episode withJulian.
So shout out to Julian.
Yeah, shout out to Julian man,yeah shout out julian man, he,
um, I appreciate him actuallyknowing what what he was in
store for, because he actuallylistened to the fucking episode.

(57:53):

This month was McKenzie, if I'mcorrect.
I think that was the winner.

(58:34):
Shout out to McKenzie.
Um, yeah, and I think that's it.
So we'll move on to our uh nextsegment, which is the question
of the day.
So tonight I got a question foryou.

(59:05):
What we got, man, what are somesongs that would cheer you up
In any kind of perspective, Ifeel like Soak in Music.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
Soak in Music would be cheering me up.
It just has such a feel-goodvibe to it.
That's why, if I'm feeling down, I could definitely play a Soka
record.
It would make me happy.
But that's also why, folks whyfolks, I guess, look down

(59:49):
quote-unquote on soca music,because it makes you feel good.
They feel like it's the popmusic that created me, as
opposed to dancehall, which iskind of seen as the hip-hop
almost.
They look at soca music as likesoft, like that's like.

(01:00:09):

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
But I'm not gonna cap like that Soka joint, like I
will be feeling good when I hearthat.
Right, it's just like a.
It's a real nice vibe, justreal reminiscent of the islands,
for real.
You know how to relax, it beand just to feel good and have a
good time, and stuff like that.

(01:00:32):
So I mean, I listen to that.
If I feel nostalgic, I'll put onsome Hawaiian music, you know,
and just kind of like, that'skind of like a, just more so
like a childhood type of, youknow, nostalgia, that kind of
like, right, you know, brings meback, um, I say, certain

(01:00:55):
hip-hop records too, you know,um, it will it just all kind of
depend on what I'm feeling allthe time.
So it could be some southernstuff, it could be some east
coast stuff, you know, westcoast.
It really just depends whattype of vibe.
But I just go back to justcertain classics that I'll brace
on, you know, and just evensome.

(01:01:16):
You know that that's the, I say, that's the beauty of us as DJ.
You know so much music thatlike, just to like go to an
album that you forgot about andjust like, oh dang, forgot about
these records and how much youenjoy them.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
You know it's like, right, that's the only fun thing
to do, you know right, um, soI'm not gonna lie, I really
don't have any songs that I cango to that are like per se, that
like will just immediatelycheer me up.
I feel like it's more in thesituation like you said.

(01:01:54):
It's like one of those thingswhere it's like, depending on
what I'm going through, if Ijust so happen to be listening
to music and there's a situationI'm going through and for
somehow odd reason, that they'retalking about what I'm going
through in that record, I'd belike wow, I'd feel a little

(01:02:17):
better and it'd make me feel alittle better.
I remember there was asituation I had a long time ago
and I remember Happy People came, situation I had a long time
ago and I remember Happy Peoplecame on by R Kelly and it real
deal cheered me up and I wasgoing through some really bad
shit.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
You put me on to that .
Happy Feelings, right.
Frankie, Beverly and Maeve,Maybe Possibly I ain't gonna lie
that joint.
Talk about a good move.
Have 90 Beverly made.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Maybe possibly, oh no , yeah, no, that definitely
gives me a good.
That's the Frankie Beverlydefinitely gives me in a good
mood.
I mean definitely is notnecessarily a good mood, but it
does give me, like, like it says, happy feel, like it gives me
good feeling.
Yeah, for sure, um, it gives meum reminiscences on similar, on
simpler times.
For sure, um, but no, I think,uh, well, I think what I?

(01:03:14):
Well, the only thing I reallyremember you putting you on to
was a golden time of the day,because that was the uh, smyrna
smyrna joint.
But, um, yeah, I gotta playthat again.
Definitely gotta play that again.
But um, yeah, man, like I said,I really don't have any.
I don't think I really haveanything Off the top of my head,
but I do remember at one point,happy people Cheering me up

(01:03:38):
when I uh Was going through.
So, yeah, I think it would haveto more say Be something that,
like it just so happened tocatch me while I'm listening to
music and I'm like, oh, I couldrelate to this, right, so I
would say anything that I canrelate to in music, uh,
lyrically, like message wise,not necessarily the feeling of a
song or anything like that it'sinteresting because you know,

(01:04:03):
um, I remember talk to the joblike certain like because he's
like she don't really likelisten like, said you know, like
that pain he be feeling likewhen people be listening to that
.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
That's what kind of like, that's why they feel like
that you know, saying yes, sador depressed, and all that you
know and, um, so you know well,I'll say this it's not okay.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
So when I say, like stuff that I can relate to that
I'm going through, it's more ofthose where it's like I know
you're going through this, don'tworry, it'll get better.
Not one of those.
Oh, I'm going through this, I'mstuck in this, I hate life.
Not one of those.
It definitely is one of those.
Here's the problem, here's thesolution.

(01:05:01):
Everything's going to be fine.

Speaker 3 (01:05:02):
One of those kind of songs.
I think it's dope how when welisten to music now yeah, we're
like understand the lyrics.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
I feel like that in life like well, I'm able to
watch a movie.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
Yeah be like oh damn, that's what they were talking
right now.
That's what I'm talking aboutbut that's why that's why I so
crazy to like to be.
So I kind of thought about that.
Would like like what?
Like having a kid or just likehaving somebody you know you
kind of raised a little bit islike showing them a movie at one
age and they like to you a fewyears later down the road

(01:05:39):
showing that movie again andseeing like what different
things they pick up on that theypick up on that day.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
Pick up on it for sure, that'd be dope.
Yeah, definitely, give it tothem like 10 years apiece, yeah,
10 years apiece, but yeah, andhonestly, what's actually funny
about that is that there is anunrelated to music well, kind of
unrelated to music because it'snot actually a song, but it was

(01:06:05):
just an instagram post that Ihad, uh, just ran across and it
was um k michelle, and I think Istill had this joint uh saved
in my instagram and I think shesaid something along the lines
of don't take anything personal,nobody cares, and and some

(01:06:30):
along the lines of when it, whenpeople do things to you, is not
because of you, it's because ofthem, type of deal.
Yes, and it was a situationwhere I was going through and I
was like you know what, thankyou, k michelle, I appreciate
this.
Right, it was actually funny.
It was actually funny at thetime.
I think I actually DM'd herwhile I was.

(01:06:50):
I'm obviously sure she didn'tsee it, but I was just like you
know what, k Michelle, I seenthis and I appreciate you
putting this out in the, in theatmosphere.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
So K Michelle, definitely a real one but um,

(01:07:42):
yeah, well, cool.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
Well, we're gonna move on to guess the Bars.
If you don't know what Guessthe Bars is, we give each other
some bars and we read them outto you guys and try to figure
out who it is.
And if we can figure it out, wesay who it is, what it is, and
rate it on the F scale, whichfrom five to one fire, ferocious

(01:08:05):
, flat, frisbee, fecal.
And if we know who it is, wetell you when the first time we
heard it.
So I'll start it off.
Excuse my intruding.
I don't mean to be rude, butour situation's kinda amusing,
cause we both like each otherbut scared of each other.
It's like we more than friendsbut less than lovers.

(01:08:30):
And my niggas tell us whatwe've been doing is wrong and
your girl's getting jealousbecause we've been getting along
.
Hold on, this is how it allbegins.
You call your friends, I callmy friends.
We'll all be friends and hangout at the mansion in the
Hamptons on the weekend.

Uh, I feel like this could beanybody.
I don't, I feel like this couldbe a number of people.
I don't know.
I don't know who this is.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
So tanaka, who we got uh, this is a working by ja
rule.

I don't know why, but I'm goingto just go with either one of

(01:14:37):

So who we got?

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
So this is YTP Fat A song called Secrets.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Ah Can't say anything about this record Beautiful.
Only thing I know about him isGet Back.
Would you look at that?

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
YTV Fat is from West Memphis, Arkansas.
Ah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Did you see him at the casino?

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
I was about to say surprised we didn't run into him
at the casino.
There you go, okay, so yeah, Ididn't.
Beautiful.
I saw some of his OGs.
Probably, probably, yeah, and Ibe gone for a couple of years.
I done sweat, I done bled, sheda couple of tears.
I ain't stressing.
It's a blessing that thehustler here.

(01:15:31):
Let's celebrate a toast.
Put your cup in the air.
This is going to get ferocious,man.
It's simple to a point, but Irespect it.
It's definitely a blessing tobe here.
Let's toast it up and live life.
Thank you, hustler.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
I'm going to guess Cassidy drank my so, so, so,
what was the line that stuck outthat you were like, oh, that's,

(01:16:19):
that's that song, and when wasthe first time you heard?

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
The Hustler.
Cause I had to think about itand I was like who I was
referring to as the HustlerAndler.
I had to think about it and Iwas like who I was referring to
him as a hustler.
And then I had to think back tohow that was that was uh.
So I don't know if you knew thiscastley had, like he did, that

(01:16:44):
whole split personality thing.
No, I did not know that.
So the first thing was hereferred to himself as the
problem and then he moved to thehustler and then he moved to
like barry adrian reese or barsif you break it down, oh, is
that what that means?

(01:17:05):
Yeah, so his name is barryadrian reese, uh-huh, so I think
his album was called like barsor something like that I think I
do remember that very adrianreese story or something like
that, and so to start each albumhe would have like a like, a
faith, like it was like tiversus tip type of deal.

(01:17:27):
So he was basically battlerapping.
So so the first one was theproblem versus the hustler.
Second one I forgot what, thesecond one, I don't know.
I think the second one hassomething different.
And then the third one had likethe hustler versusars, I don't
know.
He used to, just he would startthe albums Off like that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
Yeah.
So anyway, I had to think ofwho I was referring to as the
Hustler and, uh, I just startedcasting, so I didn't know for
sure If that was it, but youknow, that was the best guess I
could give and you switched it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
So first time you heard drink in my two-step um
first time.

Speaker 3 (01:18:23):
Side note did you know that song getting no Better
?
No, oh, okay, drinking my TwoStep.
Probably BET Probably saw it aslike the new joint of the day
on one of the six and part Dang.

(01:18:45):
That's crazy, getting no Better.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
I forgot about that one.
I'm sorry, one of those.

Speaker 3 (01:18:53):
Album cuts.
No, it was a video.
They had a video on MTV.
They used to play it all thetime With Swiss Beats' ex-wife
Meshonda Yikes.
Yeah, so my idea.
Oh yeah, I gotta go listen tothat one.

(01:19:14):
Anyway, it's time to move out,man.

Speaker 1 (01:19:20):
My little mama.
She knows how the game goes.
She knows it's about the money.
She knows daddy's gotta go.
She know if it's about thatpaper, then the paper I'm gonna
get bring it back to the crib,then the paper we gonna split.
She understands what I do.
She trusts me.
Keep it true, even though Ileave her lonely.
She knows that I love her too.

(01:19:41):
Um, I'm not gonna lie.
I feel like he used thisalready, but fuck it, I don't
remember.
We got like 70-somethingepisodes in the can.
This is Mike Jones next to you.
There should be some outletsover there.
Are there outlets over there?
I think it is, I don't know.

(01:20:02):
But yeah, this is Mike Jonesnext to you, I think, if I'm
correct.
I'll give it a.
I'll give it a flat.
I'll give the same.
I'll give it flat like it was.
It's cool.
I mean, I appreciate that he'son topic and can stay on topic,
unlike ytb fat um three point.

(01:20:25):
I give it a 3.1.

Speaker 3 (01:20:27):
I guess that's cool so, um, how did yeah, how did
you?
How did you learn about this?

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
next to you was interesting because I feel like
this is when I heard about him.
When I heard about this song, Iwas like, wow, I thought mike
jones already fell off.
And then, like, and then I seenthe video and I'm like, did he
lose weight?
He looks a lot smaller.
And then, like come to find outlike, was mike jones one of
those people that like had likea disease or something that,
like he like lost weight, or didhe just lose weight?

(01:20:55):
Nah, he just lost weight.
Oh, he did.
Because I feel like there waslike an ass of people that like
lost a lot of weight, but itwasn't because they were losing
weight, it was because they gotoff that lane.
Oh, is that what it was?
Yeah, I think.
So.
A handful of them stoppedbecause paul wad lost a lot of
weight too.
Yeah, was that because of leantoo?

Speaker 3 (01:21:14):
didn't know that, okay, so um, I actually did some
research on this on mike jonescareer.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
Of course you did um he, uh.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
So he was ready.
After he dropped his firstalbum, he was ready to drop the
American Dream, which was hisnext album that's on Mr Jones
and all that right but the labeldidn't believe in it and so
they were hesitant to pull thetrigger.
So he compromised and was likealright, I'll just give him an
EP of like singles with a moviecalled the American Dream and

(01:21:46):
then dropped the third album.
But then the third album wentthrough a lot of delays, of
singles with a movie called theAmerican Dream and then dropped
the third album, but then thethird album went through a lot
of delays and stuff.
So because of that, thepolitics and delays, he decided
that he was going to change hiswhole appearance and that's why
he lost all the weight to kindof introduce that album

(01:22:08):
Interesting and that's why helost all the weight to kind of
introduce that album.

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
Interesting, um that, uh, I didn't realize how big
that record was.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
Yeah, it was.
I had no idea.
I feel like I've seen the videomaybe a handful of times and I
never heard it on the radio.
I granted, I wasn't listeningto Ray like that, but even then
I just I mean, I don't know, Ijust wasn't aware that record.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
And then I played that song when we shot that from
North Carolina and all thesudden Rina's over there singing
going crazy like the reason whyI found out that record was big
was because, um, my homeboydraytown shout out draytown he
played in the club one time andit got a like, a huge reaction
and I was like because, like you, I didn't, I didn't know, but

(01:22:59):
because hell, even if you lookat the video, the video looks
real like, compared to his othervideos look kind of low budget,
crazy yeah, the budgetdifference in that is like yeah
and I was like dang, this isreally like a lot of folk really
f with this record.

Speaker 3 (01:23:14):
It kind of caught me off guard because I was like
yeah I didn't think it was thatbig of a song, right, right, the
aftermath is.
You touching me.
It's destiny that we connected.
Girl, you and I, we can affectthe world.

Gangsta A little too player for that.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
Yeah, I don't know who we got.

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):

Speaker 3 (01:25:27):
Yep Electric Circus.
Alright, that makes sense thatcame out in 2002.
Yeah, so that was the project Iguess that a lot of critics did
not like.
But granted, I had to buy thatalbum in order to get him to

(01:25:49):
sign it.
I went to this festival inSeattle known as Bumbershoot,
which is like a big musicfestival where they bring all
these different acts.
I had brought my Common bookletfor the B album, I don't know.
Apparently they were like yougotta buy a CD or something to

(01:26:09):
get it signed.

Miff.

Speaker 1 (01:28:27):

So this is actually Styles P.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):

this is off a record calledReservoir Dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):

And yeah Cool.
What's your favorite saucemoney song Tanaka.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
Couldn't say.
I had no idea who that wasrapping.
When I heard this, I had noidea who that was rapping.
When I heard this rap, that assso big I catch a battery to
hold you Hand, so big youthought I told you pull it over.

(01:30:00):
She pulled me over, pulled meout the world.
Then she pulled me closer,threw me in the back of the car,
put me in handcuffs, startedripping my pants off.
All you heard over thedispatcher is it's that it's
Miss Officer, right With.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
Kid Kid man, kid Kid man.
Yeah, 2016 XL Freshman of theyear.
You know what I'm saying, butanywho, this song came out in
2007, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
You gotta love it, man.
You came a long way out here,man.
You came a long way out of thatmoney, came a long way out of
that money.
How much do you think they paidhim?
How much did he pay him?
All right, go ahead, turn it on.

Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
Well, first off, Tanaka, two things you never
rated it and you never said itthe first time you heard it.
Oh, my fault, my fault.

Speaker 3 (01:31:08):
The first time you heard it.
Oh, my fault.
I know you just sold.

Speaker 1 (01:31:12):
You have your hate for if Kid Kid runs real deep
that you just want to move rightpast it, but you didn't rate it
or you didn't say it when thefirst time you heard it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:18):
Miss Officer, probably the album.
When I heard the Carter 3.
Yeah, that'll get a flat, Idon't know.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
I feel like you're just throwing him a bone.

Speaker 3 (01:31:38):
I never really cared for that verse.
That's why you know what I'msaying.
It was just like I don't knowwho this guy is.

Speaker 1 (01:31:46):
Oh, you didn't know who Kid Kid was before that At
the time.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
At the time, I had no idea who that was.
I feel like I knew who he wasbefore that, because I was like
this isn't.
Mac man, you know what I'msaying.
I figured I thought it would belike Mac man, you know if
anybody but it's Kid Kid, youknow man, it's kickin, you know

(01:32:16):
man.
Yeah, I just didn't really knowkick it was at the time.
Was he signed to young money?

Speaker 1 (01:32:20):
yes, he was one of the original members.
We're like currency, you allthat.
Or, if not, he was like sidehigh to good music.
He was just so closelyaffiliated that he might as well
just said he was on Young Money.
Yeah, I don't know, I just, or,if not, he was probably on Cash

(01:32:41):
Money, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:32:43):
This was like this was before they had that young
money compilation, you know soyeah, I didn't really know who
was affiliated.
I mean, I I had a handful offolks like six shot and like
chop and like these other folks,but I had never heard of

(01:33:07):
kicking.

Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
I think this is the first time I ever heard kiki I
feel like I've heard him beforethis, but I don't know you
probably, you're probably rightI don't know that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
And then on something that, to make matters worse, I
don't think they even used tocredit him on the song.
Well, they didn't on the musicvideo.

Speaker 1 (01:33:25):
I think well, they didn't credit him on the music
video because he wasn't in themusic video.
The Mrs Officer video was MrsOfficer and then like he's not
in it.
No, If he is in it, that's evenworse.
They didn't use his verse inthat.
That's what I'm saying On hisverse.
They go to comfortable.

Speaker 3 (01:33:47):
Oh, that's right.
Okay, I kind of forgot.

Speaker 1 (01:33:50):
But what makes it even more funny?
If Bobby Valentino is in it andthey use his verse, it's even
hilarious, because that meansthey skipped over his verse.
I don't remember them using hisverse either, though, so I
think they're in the clear, butum there in the clear.

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
But um, so are we moving on or are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:34:16):
some research on mrs officer.
Yeah, I'm trying to do someresearch, okay, but um well,
yeah, you, you can keep going tothe next oh okay, um, got a
chopper, kind of like ahelicopter For any nigga that
think it's sweet and you bettercall the doctor.
Have you shaken like A maraca,dripping like this beat Blood,

(01:34:36):
spilling on the Like a faultyfaucet?
Plug his ass before you end upin a hearse.
Put the gear in reverse, thenyou better Hit the fucking Gas.
What put the gear in reverse?
Then you better hit the fuckinggas what you broke.
Now you're bitter, but how thehell is this nigga gonna start

(01:34:56):
beef with me on his fuckingtwitter?
This shit is all over the place.
Um, I'm gonna give it a frisbee.
This is yeah, this joint is allover the place, I'm going to
give it a frisbee.
Yeah, this joint is all overthe place, I'll give it a
frisbee flat.
I can appreciate the metaphors,but I don't know Just the way
this joint is On the song.

(01:35:17):
It probably is better, but mereading it out loud, it just I
don't know.
It was just I don't know, itjust wasn't it.
I have no idea who this is.
I just want to say maybe WakaFlocka, I don't know, this is a
word called.

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
Say it To my Face, and it's by.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
Ludacris, oh, does TI have a song called Say it To my
Face?
You said it.
Does TI have a song called Sayit To my, my face?
I don't think so.
Okay, I don't know, he probablydoes ludicrous said this yeah,
it's got a chopper like ahelicopter.

(01:35:58):
I don't think I've ever heardludicrous make a gun reference.
It's very rare that ludicrousmakes a gun references.
Ah oh is this.

Speaker 3 (01:36:04):
So this is off a big bottom.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
I'm not big by the boom, um, the, the gigawatts,
beautiful, um, okay, this, thisdoesn't.
This doesn't sound right at all, and it's fitting that I gave
him a yeah, yes, that was areally weird turn for little
chris.
You did not like that budgetbut your boy tonic did what's up

(01:36:41):
.
Bro, you think we should make akaraoke, big bottleada, boom,
for we need to have aConversation with Tonic.

Speaker 3 (01:36:46):
No we don't.
Yeah, man, we need to have moreDelinquent music talks.
I said I'm for you, tonic.
I can't Not with Tonic Tonic,you know some other shit.
Now I know you haven't left me,but I feel like I'm alone.
I'm a big boy now but I'm stillnot growing and I'm still going
through it.
Pain in the hurt, soaking uptrouble like rain in the dirt.

(01:37:07):
Is this, lord, give me a sign?
D makes I just love it y'all.
You know, bro, ain't no time,bro.
You know, I just been listeningto a lot of older music, so I

(01:37:27):
feel like maybe that's why I'min the.
You know you wanted today, butnah, that was one of my favorite
records, so to speak.

Speaker 1 (01:37:40):
I was in seventh grade, so you had to be like
eighth or ninth right.

Speaker 3 (01:37:43):
Yeah.
Yeah, that was because I boughtthat album and I had that song.
We In here with Suze Beetz.

Speaker 1 (01:37:51):
We In here was on the same album.
As Lord, give Me a Sign.
Yeah, why do I feel like we Inhere was so?

Speaker 3 (01:37:58):
long ago.
Yeah, they released it likeLate, oh okay.
Yeah, the album got pushed back, Gotcha.
I remember they was having awhole reality show that they
were trying to line up with andit kept getting pushed back.
I was like dang, when's thealbum going to drop?

(01:38:18):
And then it finally came outBecause he had a record with
Scott Storch that I think theyreleased a year and a a half
before that.
You know, Interesting, Stillincluded on there.
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, I'mgonna give that a ferocious five

(01:38:45):
.
I always said this man, Ireally wish DMX came out with a
gospel album.
You know, I feel like thatwould have went crazy, but yeah,
that Lord gave me a sign.
There's one part in that songthat I used to always get
freaked out because it soundedlike my parents were calling me

(01:39:06):
and yeah.
So every time I used to be likeplaying the game, listening to
that song, I would think thatlike, oh shoot, my parents are
calling me.

Speaker 1 (01:39:13):
I got kicked off the game.
That's interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
It still haunts me to this day whenever I hear that
record.
Well, I think it's really justa background vocal, because you
know it's kind of like a choiror whatever and they're just
like yeah, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:39:31):
It must be top tier to think that you want to turn
around and be like oh snap, myparents are calling me.

Speaker 3 (01:39:38):
Because, my dad wouldn't play that man.
He used to be like yeah.
I used to be out there playingsports all right with the kids
and all that.
My dad go on the front porchand he just whistled hella loud
and it's like, depending on howthe whistle went, like I could

(01:39:58):
say I was in trouble or not.

Speaker 1 (01:40:03):
Doof.
Well, let's not bring you backto that dark path.
Let's go ahead and move on toWhatever's next Kid.

Speaker 3 (01:40:11):
Kid wasn't in the video.

Speaker 1 (01:40:13):
Okay, well, that's good to know.
I think they might have skippedthis.
I ain't gonna lie, bro.
It would be fucked up if theypassed up him and then went to
Bobby Valentino's version.
That's what I'm saying theremight be.
I gotta listen to it.
That would be crazy.
That's what I'm saying.
There might be.
I don't know.
I got to listen to it.
That's sad.
That would be crazy.
That's funny.
Imagine KK, big Link and LilWayne.
Oh, I can't be at this video.
I got an interview going.

(01:40:35):
We got a concert.
Yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:40:39):
What we on some next man.

Speaker 1 (01:40:40):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
The song of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:40:44):
No, hall of Fame.
Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (01:40:47):
Hall of Fame, something in between I just feel

(01:41:13):
like I was missing something.

Speaker 1 (01:41:15):
So, um, it's funny, this is the greatest hit.
Well, either way it would havefelt like a long time ago
because either way we would havehad to either done the greatest
hit, so we would have done thealbum.
But feels so long ago.
But I feel like I kind ofremember shout out to julian um
for having our last episode.
Uh, he picked um.
The ray j fabulous um breakfastclub conversation.

(01:41:35):
I don't remember what you chosethe Ray J Fabulous Breakfast
Club Conversation.
I don't remember what you chose.
What the fuck did you choose?

Speaker 3 (01:41:42):
Do you remember what you chose?

Speaker 1 (01:41:44):
While I look it up, cause I definitely don't
remember what the fuck you chose.
Oh yeah, that's why I don'tfucking remember.
So Tanaka chose Lil Uzi'sDiamond in his head, and then I
chose Bad and Bougie.
So next inductee into the TNTPodcast Hall of Fame by
landslide was Bad and Bougie.

(01:42:05):
So appreciate everybody forvoting and all that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:11):
Tanaka, you can go ahead and start it off but I got
, I got a nominate that, uh,that drip mix that he did.
But that vibes cartel with overa West Coast beat was like kind

(01:42:35):
of crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:42:36):
I'm not so to lie to you, so much so that musician
was like wow, I would have nevereven thought of that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
Yeah, I'm not going to lie to you, when I heard the
mix, I was like dang, that jointis cold.
And when I heard it on playbackit's still just as hard.
So I was like dang, bro, thatjoint really.
That's's the beauty of music,man, you know what I'm saying.
Like us, as DJs, when we becoming up with these mixes, it's

(01:43:02):
like it's just it's dope tohear stuff on different, you
know, different production.
And yeah, that mix that VibesCartel over West Coast being
mixed was crazy, bro, like Ieven see, like saw the coalition
dj.
She was over there like oh holy, yeah, like that was hard.

(01:43:25):
That's why and I told, I toldhim that I was like bro that
because it was a little rough,you know what I'm saying going
into the ashanti and the r and band all that.
But he came back with that mixand that kind of brought them
back on track.

Speaker 1 (01:43:40):
Right.
Okay.
Well, that's what's up.
That's what's up.
So I'm going to go completelyleft with that and I'm going to
pick a movie.
I'm going to pick a movie clipand I'm going to pick a movie.
I'm going to pick a movie clip.
So my nomination for the TNTPodcast Hall of Fame is when

(01:44:07):
Ricky gets killed in Boys in theHood.
What's interesting about thisis that, like, I remember
actually seeing that movie Now,obviously not when it came out,
because I think I was like ababy when that movie came out,
but and yeah, I ain't gonna lie,that definitely was like one of
the sadder parts of that movie.
I was like whoa, like that.
Like then he had his whole lifeahead of him and just just over

(01:44:28):
in a flash and it's just.
It's just interesting.
Hip-hop has so many, like, somany references to boys in the
hood and the ricky, the ricky,the ricky, uh, joint.

Speaker 3 (01:44:39):
so it's so funny because, um, my mom saw boys in
the hood and that's like herlike, that's like her
interpretation of like blackpeople yeah, you're just like
gangster rap and just all ofthat, you know what I'm saying.

(01:45:01):
And she like gets reallyemotional bringing that up the
Ricky, the Ricky part, yeahshe's like, man, he was just
such a good kid and just had somuch ahead of him, and for him
to just get gunned down in thehood like that, you know, it's
just so sad.
She's not wrong, yeah, you know, and it's like but like she

(01:45:28):
even feels for.
Doughboy, though you know whatI'm saying.
She's like, you know, poorDoughboy, he just wanted to feel
love from his mom, you know,and he couldn't get that love,
you know, right.
So, anyway, I say all that tosay that she really enjoys that.
Well, I don't know if sheenjoyed it, but she, she felt
for it, yeah, empathizes verymuch with the movie and, uh,

(01:45:51):
right, I feel like that's alsopart of the reason why she, you
know, rocks with all the musicthat I listen to.
Oh, really, you know, I kind ofput her on to all this, you
know.
All this hood rap music and yeah, Right, but you know she likes
the Jay-Z Black album.

Speaker 1 (01:46:13):
I feel like you told me that and I was like wait what
?

Speaker 3 (01:46:18):
That's interesting.
Drop it Like it's Hot by SnoopDogg.

Speaker 1 (01:46:22):
One of her favorites, that's.
I'm just gonna reel it out realquick.
That's such an interesting songcause I never know when to play
that fucking song.

So song of the day is gonna be interesting because
this is gonna be one of thesongs that I remember hearing
when I was a mere boy, and thename of the song is st Louis by
Nelly Tanaka.

Speaker 1 (01:51:30):
Are you familiar with the song st Louis?
By Nelly hold on hold on Tanakahold on just for a second
because, as the song of the dayis going on, the instrumentals
playing in the background andyou're about to talk about Name
Redacted, we'll talk about it on.
Album of the day when, wherenothing is happening.
Are you familiar?
I?

Speaker 3 (01:51:47):
got more familiar.
I feel like I heard it beforewhen I heard the country grammar
, that's country grammar.
But it got more because, um, myboy from LA, he did work in
Ferguson, missouri, around thetime of the situation.

Speaker 1 (01:52:08):
Okay, and for the, for what they were shooting out
there, they used that songBecause the folks from out there
in Missouri, that's who theywere Right.
So just out of curiosity, right.
So like St Louis Is like StLouis, like really like Nelly
Town, like all the like folks,like that's like kind of like

(01:52:32):
how Snoop is in Cali, like is itlike that for Nelly?

Speaker 3 (01:52:36):
I would say so yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:52:37):
I mean because I know in Detroit niggas ain't really
fucking with Eminem.
That's not a thing.
There may be some diehards,that may be, but all in all
they're down.
Yeah, I mean I feel like theydo F with Nelly.

Speaker 3 (01:52:56):
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I
can't, I can't actually say that.
But I will say that my boy, hehad a song on repeat.

Speaker 1 (01:53:05):
On repeat Like the whole time he was there.
I mean, but that's honest, buttruthfully it's a dope song, but
we're going to get into that.
So, like I said, this is one ofthe earliest memories I have of
like listening to music andshout out to my uncle um, I
remember he had this, he hadthis album.
And, honestly and truthfully, Ireally don't even know if he

(01:53:25):
really had this album, but Ijust remember, just vaguely
remember, every time we were inthe car I would always hear this
song.
It would be me, my uncle and mycousin would always be in the
car riding around somewhere andI just vaguely always remember
hearing you could find me insaint louis, we're gonna play,
like.
Anytime I hear that song, Iimmediately think of that and,

(01:53:48):
truthfully, that's really why Ilike the song because of the
beat.
The beat's catchy, the chorusis catchy and when I got older I
was like had more access tolike music and like all that
other stuff and doing research,so I just can appreciate that.
When I went back and listenedto it when I got older, I was
like, okay, I do like this song.
It wasn't like one of thosesongs you listen to and you're

(01:54:10):
like, damn what the fuck was Ithinking when I was younger.
But, yeah, st louis, um, thesong came out when the album
came out.
Country grammar, um june 27 2000, is track number two and for
the most part it sets the setsthe album off pretty right.
Um and uh.

(01:54:33):
The song is a tribute tonelly's hometown, st louis,
missouri, and it talks about hiseye, uh, hello, talks about his
aspect of life in st louis,including the city, culture, the
lifestyle and the struggles hefaced by its residents, and it's
a vivid portrayal of nelly'sexperience and observations of
his hometown.
It's a song celebrating hiscity while also acknowledging

(01:54:56):
the challenges.
Nelly also mentions hispersonalities from saint louis,
like red fox and cedric theentertainer, and talks about his
journey for being a part of hisrap group, the saint louis
ticks, and becoming a successfulsolo artist.
Um, you know, it's crazy, Idon't think I knew cedric the
entertainer was from.

(01:55:16):
Uh, saint louis, that'sinteresting.
I don't know where I thought.
Yeah, I don't think I knewcedric the entertainer was from.
Uh, st louis, that's.
That's interesting.
I don't know where I thoughtyeah, I don't think I knew that
um it makes sense though,because he was featured yeah,
apparently he was on it.
Oh well, you said that yeah.
So yeah, he was on that,because he was on the intro
right before st louis.
So yeah, that's dope.
Um uh, jee is the producer.

(01:55:37):
Um tanaka, are you familiarwith jee?
yeah, that's um jay epperson, Ithink is his name.
Um, was he just the in-housefor for nelly?
Yeah, got you.
So it was released under forreal, which is now dirty, and t,

(01:55:58):
which is under universal.
Um, yeah, man, like I said,it's just a real catchy.
This is a real catchy song thatlike just it just screams 2000s
and it screams st louis,because it's just a whole bunch
of st louis references and allthat type of stuff, which is
interesting because I don't knowand I'm this is my AR head

(01:56:26):
going off right now but I wouldthink that someone, someone in
Sexy Red's camp will tell herthat she should probably come
out with like a St Louis song,since she's from st louis as
well and she's like she's likethe artist right now and like
she's white hot.
I would think that somebodywould tell her that she should
come out with the st louis song,kind of equivalent to st louis

(01:56:48):
by nelly.
Hell, maybe he can, maybe shecan get nelly on it and have him
sample, have her sample thesong.
But you know neither here northere if you're looking for a
song that has St Louis 2000s andmakes Nelly be like a tour
guide of St Louis from the pastand just what St Louis got going

(01:57:09):
on period make sure y'all hitup Nelly's.
St Louis.
But yeah, okay, so we can nowreel it out, Tanaka, let's go
back to this.

Speaker 3 (01:57:23):
Yeah, I was looking up, I was trying to see if I was
trying to see if Nelly put thatin the verses oh, okay, oh, so
we're not reeling out yet.

Speaker 1 (01:57:37):
Okay.
So what were we talking about?
Oh, the St Louis, okay, oh.
So we're not really now yet.
Okay, so what were we talkingabout?
Oh, the St Louis, yeah, who didhe go against?
Again.
Ludacris, ludacris, yeah, andhe did not.
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (01:57:48):
He kind of got watched by Ludacris.
But I mean it's tough becausethis is kind of like built for
Ludacris, yeah, you know, andNelly, like he got hits, but

(01:58:09):
it's like I don't know.
It's kind of hard to go againstthose bangers that like
Ludacris got a lot of bangers.
Yeah, and it's like intense andit's just like, just like going
to like his concert.
That's why, like a ludicrousconcert is always gonna go crazy
because he has so manydifferent hits.

Speaker 1 (01:58:24):
Yeah, it's like you know and they always gonna keep
them on their feet too right,whereas nelly is like more.

Speaker 3 (01:58:31):
um, he had a lot of like, like ballads and then just
like feel good records, but theintensity yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:58:42):
Unless you're going to play that fucking song he got
with Fergie.
I don't even remember the nameof that song.

Speaker 3 (01:58:48):
I ain't going to lie.
I used to fuck with that song,though.

Speaker 1 (01:58:50):
Me personally, though , is it Party People, party
People.
Oh, I don't remember who madethe beat.

Speaker 3 (01:58:58):
I don't want um no, I was about to say about this
cali record or this, this this,whoever the you all I see is ayo
game.
What they do, boy, is dj khaled.
I got my black and red jordanretro sixes on.
I'm all about getting money.
I'm all about getting money,and that's all I've seen.

(01:59:20):
Okay, so turn on the bed.

Speaker 1 (01:59:23):
Oh, we're going to bump it when we get in the car.
Bottles and rocking chairs.

Speaker 2 (01:59:32):
Let me see Bitches ain't getting money.
Bitches ain't getting money.

Speaker 1 (01:59:36):
Bitches ain't alright just a little anticipation of
what you're in store for.

Speaker 3 (02:00:15):
For the album of the day.
I'm going to go with the.

Speaker 1 (02:00:18):
Gift and the.

Speaker 3 (02:00:19):
Courage by Jay-Z.
I actually very recently heardthe whole album.
I think that's the beauty ofthe streaming nowadays, because
back in our day nowadays becauseback in our day, you know, we

(02:00:43):
had to buy the CD to listen tothe whole thing.
But now we're able to revisitthese albums and hear them in
their entirety.
Because, yeah, honestly, Ididn't.
I wasn't really up on hip-hopat the time.
Like this is 2002, so I wasstill kind of discovering
certain singles from hip-hop.
I wasn't really listening toalbums like that, but it was a

(02:01:09):
double disc affair.
You, 25 songs from Jay-Z, and Iwill say I can understand why
people criticize this albumbecause obviously it's too long.
But I will say there are somehidden gems in here.

(02:01:29):
You know what I'm saying, thatI feel like you could vibe-suit.
I'd like to double back Turn Upor just go back to when I had a
conversation with Turn Up, whenI was like because I've been
revisiting Jay's catalog and Iwas like I didn't realize how

(02:01:53):
much he used to talk about hoesand then you brought up big
pimping and I don't think I everreally listened to the lyrics,
or it was edited out so muchwith the clean version that I
didn't really know what he wastalking about, except for just
the hook of like big pimpingspinning g.
But when I listen to thatrecord I see what what you're

(02:02:14):
talking about.
That was probably as harsh as itcould get, talking about a hoe,
so yeah, so anyway, I just hadto put that out there.
So the Blueprint 2 is split asthe gift and the curse, and I

(02:02:36):
don't know if I could reallytell you the differences between
the two.
I don't really feel likethere's a stylistic difference
between the two discs, butobviously on the first disc has
the main singles of, excuse Me,miss, shout out DJ 20.
Shout out 20.

(02:02:58):
Oh, three bonnie by the watchertwo and uh.

Speaker 1 (02:03:04):
So I was wrong.
I thought this was only on thered album, not the re, not the
game album, but the redblueprint joint oh're talking
about 2.1?

Speaker 3 (02:03:16):
Yeah, got you.
And then there was also HovingBaby, which that was really a
Just Blades kind of you knowmasterful production work.
So obviously all those recordsI rock with, I like the opener,
a Dream with Biggie and FaithEvans.

(02:03:39):
I thought that was pretty dope.
All Around the World withLatoya Williams is cool.
You know one of those feel-goodrecords, poppin' Tags with Big
Boy Killer, mike and Twista.
That was cool to see Jay-Zcollaborate with, of like with
Dungeon Family and kind of havethat vibe, even though it was
produced by Kanye West, but ithad a real Dungeon Family kind

(02:04:03):
of vibe.
Yeah, the rest of the records,on that one that was cool, but
nothing that really stood out tome.
On the second disc he had acollaboration with MOP, nothing
that really stood out to me.
On the second, second disc, onthe Curse, he had a
collaboration with MOP for theyou Don't Know remix and that's

(02:04:25):
one of my favorite records Iafter with the first you Don't
Know, but the remix I feel likeit's crazy, just because just
like he played the sample in thebeginning, extended, and it's
just like I like he played thesample in the beginning extended
and it's just like I don't knowsomething about that.
And then just the way the beatcomes in and mop comes in, of

(02:04:45):
all people, the energy just goescrazy.
I I'd, actually I would pay tosee that live.
You know what I'm sayingbecause I feel like m people
ripped edge on um.
Blueprint two is a dope, doperecord.
Um, he kind of addresses someof the, some of the haters and

(02:05:06):
and folks.
I think there's some disses inthat record.
Um, and let me see somehow someway, beanie, beanie, sigel,
scarface, you know that's one ofthose.
We're going to make it throughthe struggle records Type shit.
Pretty dope though, because youknow, just blazed, I like the

(02:05:31):
as One.
So that was an Earth, wind,fire sample, I think.
Fantasy, I think, is what theysample.
Mara carry, no, no earth wentin fire, oh, but it's basically
a Rockefeller posse cut.
So we've got Memphis bleep be,seagull freeway, young guns, pd,

(02:05:52):
crack sparks and rail.
So you, petey, crack Sparks andRel.
So you know, basically stateproperty and Rockefeller
combined, I guess, for theignorant stuff like the Ninja
Plays with Young Chris.
You know that was aninteresting record.

(02:06:12):
You know that was basicallyjust talking about these folks
that be flexing, but not reallyabout it and then, yeah, those
were really the main joints Iwas rocking with, so it does
make sense that.
Jay dropped Blueprint 2.1, whichwas basically a more concise

(02:06:34):
project that combined it, whichwas basically a more concise
project that combined it.
But yeah, man, overall, youknow, obviously Jay has put out
better work than this, but Ifeel like this is still a good
project and it still has somegems on there.

(02:06:55):
And, you know, I can't be madat it because, like you know, I
feel like especially how long ofa career Jay's had, so him
trying his shot at a double disc, I'm not mad at it.
Was this his only double disc?

(02:07:16):
I'm not mad at it.

Speaker 1 (02:07:16):
Was this his only double disc?

Speaker 3 (02:07:18):
Yeah, he was like never again.
Yeah, because I think he justrealized how the value of One
thing I respect about Jay hereally musicality-wise,
definitely pays attention.

Speaker 1 (02:07:35):
Right, I feel like the thing about Jay is that he
feels I feel like, oh, I don'tknow, I've never heard, I
haven't heard any of his likenewer stuff.
But I feel like he never likesounds outdated, right.
Like even with blueprint, evenwith hello, even with blueprint
three, because I've actuallyheard blueprint three all the
way through and I was like, yeah, this is hell.
Even watch the throne, likelike just stuff, like'm like
yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:07:55):
That's another thing is that.
So critics were very dividedwith Blueprint 3.
But I'm not going to lie, themusicality on that joint was
like, look, you guys can hate itor whatever, and granted,
there's some moments on therethat I don't personally care for
, but I would say overall it's apretty solid project.

(02:08:16):
Um, like you said, that's onething about jay he never really
sounds dated.
Even though he comes from the90s, he's still putting out
projects that sound up to dateand are still playable within
the time frame.
I think that's a issue that alot of artists have is that they

(02:08:37):
tend to start to sound liketheir time period and they don't
fit in with the new or figureout a way to incorporate their
old style but in the newsoundscape, right, you know, um?
So I don't know.
I'm going to.
I'm going to give credit to hisengineer, young guru, because I
feel like young guru also playsa large role in making sure

(02:09:00):
that he still sounds fresh inthe music landscape.
So Blueprint 2, give Him theCurse man, go ahead and check it
out.
Neptune's Timbaland, just Blaze.

Speaker 1 (02:09:19):
I see Charlemagne on here.
This ain't the Charlamagne I'mthinking about, is it?

Speaker 3 (02:09:24):
Breakfast Club?
No, no, no, charlamagne was aproducer.
I think he produced some stuffFor Dipset.
So yeah, he was just one of theOne of those local New York
producers that had someplacements on Dipset projects
and stuff and to circle back onthe Blueprint 2.

Speaker 1 (02:09:46):
so I just went to Rap Genius because I heard that you
said there are some littledisses in there.
So apparently, according to RapGenius, that was like well and
like I said, I've never heardthis song or heard this album,
but apparently, yeah, that waslike the last diss record in
between him and Nas.
I don't know if he was dissinganybody else, but they were

(02:10:09):
saying that this was like thiswas the last and this was.
I guess this was him, just Iguess him stating that this was
the last and this was.
I guess this was him, just Iguess him stating that how could
you pick Ether over theTakeover?
Because the Takeover wasstating facts and Ether was just
not just sounding emotional, Iguess.
So, yeah, that was something Ipicked out of that.

(02:10:34):
But so two questions with well,no, actually three that just
came up with.
So I feel like you alreadyanswered the first one, but so
you feel like if he would havecame out with the blueprint 2,
and the blueprint 2 being theblueprint 2.1, it would have
been a better album yeah, I meanI I feel like he still could

(02:10:59):
even drop the double disc, buthe probably had to cut, maybe
like so there's 25 songs.

Speaker 3 (02:11:09):
I say he could have probably cut like eight of them
and still had a you know, a goodproject if it was split like
that.
But you know him trimming the2.1, I think it was like 13
songs or something like that 17.

Speaker 1 (02:11:28):
No, my bad, my bad, I'm sorry.
No, you're right.
12.
Apparently they had a deluxefor the 2.1, which takes that to
17.

Speaker 3 (02:11:39):
yeah, um, I don't know.
I just think that, um, yeah, Ijust, I just think that concise
projects always are going to doa lot better.
You know that concise projectsalways are gonna do a lot better

(02:12:01):
.
Just one of those things whereyou trim fat.
You know, I'm not mad at it,though, you know, because I
always feel like Jay doesn'thave a bad ear.
I feel like he always has agood ear for production.

Speaker 1 (02:12:15):
So I'm gonna have to check out this you Don't Know
song because apparently,according to Wikipedia, you
Don't Know was on Madden 2005.
Oh yeah, Check that song out.
Second question I guess if youwere executive producing this
album and you said like, yousaid like, look, we need to drop

(02:12:39):
one of these, the Gift or theCurse, and we need to drop it
separate, which one would havebeen?

Speaker 3 (02:12:47):
Blueprint 2?

Speaker 1 (02:12:47):
If it was just a one disc and you had to choose
between the Gift or the Curse todrop as the Blueprint 2?
.

Speaker 3 (02:12:55):
That's tricky.

Speaker 1 (02:12:56):
That's a good question.
Um, which?
Okay, I'll say this which one?
Would you drop the gift for thecurse and to make it, to make
it even more interesting for thegifted curse?
If you pick the gift for thecurse, you pick the singles too.

Speaker 3 (02:13:12):
I'll break it down like this the gift is more so
like the R&B and feel-goodrecords, and I feel like the
Curse is more so the intense andstreet stuff.
Yeah.
So it's kind of like I don'tknow, Because I feel like
musically the first one, butthat's more like feel-good stuff

(02:13:36):
, and then if I want somebangers I would have to drop the
first one.
But that's more like feel goodstuff and then if I want some
bangers, like I would have todrop the second one right,
that's that's how I kind of dothem all right, um.

Speaker 1 (02:13:50):
So last question is a question.
We asked for all the flippinalbums.
Have you heard all the ofJay-Z's albums?
And if you have, from the onesif you have, where does this sit
?
And if you haven't, from theones you have heard, where does
the Blueprint 2 sit?

Speaker 3 (02:14:04):
I think I have heard them all now.
I just recently listened tothem all.
Yeah, I would say this is moretowards the bottom half of his
um discography, just because Ifeel like jay's put out so much
great music.
So when I really put this incomparison to what he's put out,

(02:14:27):
it's like I would put on thelower half well, okay, so, so.

Speaker 1 (02:14:31):
So here's the thing, right?
I feel like jay-z doesn'treally put out any bad albums,
right?
So?
And I've been hearing you andTonic talk about this album,
right, and talking about howmuch fluff, as Big Steve would
say, is on this album Right.
So what would, if you were tochoose an album, what album
would be worse than this out ofhis discography?

(02:14:53):
Because from the sounds of it,it sounds like this would be the
bottom.

Speaker 3 (02:15:01):
Probably, probably, it'd probably be right around.
I'd say Kingdom Come, I forgotabout that album.
I forgot about that album.
Yeah, I forgot about that album.
Jesus Christ, but yeah, likeyou said, he doesn't really put

(02:15:22):
out too many bad projects.
So I feel like Kingdom Come, Ithink, would be the bottom.
Yeah, it'd be kind of a toss-up.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Like you said, you know, thosein my lifetimes kind of get a
little gray.
Yeah, just because we have tolisten to it from a different

(02:15:48):
ear.
You know, that kind of forcesus to go back to what did the
90s sound like?
You know what I mean.
But even then, like I would sayVolume 1 and Volume 3.
I kind of enjoyed Volume 3.
Volume 1, I could see what youwere saying, though it's a
little tough for me to listen to, because that's like a very 90s

(02:16:10):
album and I don't know.
It's interesting because I feellike we would be like, oh yeah,
that's kind of whack, but backthen they probably was like oh
shit that shit kind of hard.
You know what I'm saying right,makes sense.

Speaker 1 (02:16:28):
Okay, alright, well, cool um oh, I forgot about that.
I forgot about Kingdom Come.
Boy um was Lost.
On forgot about Kingdom Comeboy Was.
Lost Ones on Kingdom Come.
Yeah, I fuck with Lost Ones,lost Ones.

Speaker 3 (02:16:44):
No, don't get me wrong.
Kingdom Come had its joints.

Speaker 1 (02:16:46):
Well, okay.
So here's the thing, right,when people say at the bottom,
they think that it's just a shitalbum, that's not what I mean,
obviously.

Speaker 3 (02:16:58):
If you got to choose from all these elite-ass albums,
something's got to be at thebottom regardless, like the
delinquents Hell, we might allbe elite DJs.

Speaker 1 (02:17:03):
One of us got to be at the bottom though.
So you know, it is what it is,and I did fuck with that song he
had I think he was talkingabout Katrina Minority Report
with Ne-Yo.
I fucked with that song.
I did fuck with that song butanyway I don't know, neither
here nor there.
Uh, trying to think was thereanything else I have to say
about this?
Uh, no, that was it.

(02:17:24):
Uh, so, dj talk.
Uh, I had had a question and Ithink I got this off of
Instagram video.
But tonight I got a questionfor you how big does a mashup or

(02:17:48):
a mix have to be for you to useit?
That's not yours.
What do you mean by that?
That's not yours.
What do you mean by that?
Like, how popular does the mixhave to be for you to be, for
you to be like?

Speaker 3 (02:18:02):
oh, I should probably add this to my playlist like I
would use it in a party orwherever.
How popular, so my bad.
Give me an example.

Speaker 1 (02:18:22):
I'm Beyonce, beyonce, cuff it, twist a wetter swag
sir swag surfing finito.
Oh, I mean obviously, do you?
Know, like mix or mashup that'swhat I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (02:18:42):
I don't really use other people's because I'm
trying, so you've never.

Speaker 1 (02:18:46):
So you've never played the beyonce and no I
would say that's the only mashupbut that's what I'm saying,
though.
How big does a, does a mashupor mix need to be for you to be
like okay, I need to add this tomy playlist, because I don't
know?

Speaker 3 (02:19:01):
oh, I just thought that was some tiktok joint, you
know I mean, it's still a mashup, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (02:19:06):
yeah, I guess I mean, and I'm pretty sure somebody
made it right, and if it wasn'tas big, you're not gonna be like
, oh, you're gonna be, like oh,hell, no, I'm take it.

Speaker 3 (02:19:14):
I feel like that's the only mashup I've played,
though.

Speaker 1 (02:19:17):
I mean, okay, so that should be an easy answer for
you.
So how big does a song have tobe?

Speaker 3 (02:19:26):
How big does a mashup have to be for you to?
I'm trying to think of how Ieven found out about that mashup
.

Speaker 1 (02:19:30):
I ain't going to lie Me too.
I feel like it was social media, but I don't know, I guess I
just have to really effort ityeah, but I mean I'm pretty sure
there are other mixes.
You fuck with that.
You're like, oh, that's a dopemix, but are you gonna take it

(02:19:52):
and use it in your playlist?
In your mixing DJ ability, Iguess, I guess.

Speaker 3 (02:19:58):
Yeah, I guess I did take one.
I don't know how popular it was.

Speaker 1 (02:20:03):
Wait, are you about to say the Jay-Z, magna Carter
shit, or did you make thatyourself?
The Bonfire shit.

Speaker 3 (02:20:12):
Oh, Is that a mashup?
Though it's not a mashup.
I was going to say a mashup ora mix.

Speaker 1 (02:20:16):
It's a mix, mashup or mix Still.

Speaker 3 (02:20:21):
No, I was going to say the Lux Styles Pete.
I get high on and thenswitching the beat.

Speaker 1 (02:20:35):
I got five on.
Oh, I thought you were going tosay Afro man.
I got five on it.
Oh, I thought you were going tosay Afro man, because I got
higher.

Speaker 3 (02:20:41):
No, no, I got five on it.
I ain't going to lie, that'syour own.
It's cold.
That makes it exciting.
That's hard.

Speaker 1 (02:20:55):
Yeah, that's one, so okay.
So it doesn't have to be big,it just has to be.
I just had to like it.
You would have to like it a lotfor you to, yeah, and you
thought that joint was so coldthat you was like god damn, the.

Speaker 3 (02:21:09):
Styles P joint was crazy, that joint do you?
Remember who made it?
Yeah, technician he.
Um, that's why I was saying howlike the concert dj.
You know I'm saying how crucialthat is because, like I said,
those mixes, if you're gonnadrop a different instrumental,
like, it has to like, reallylike.
And I don't know if the onesthat he did with the young guns,

(02:21:33):
I, they didn't really like,blow away.

Speaker 1 (02:21:35):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (02:21:36):
I'm saying but when I heard that Styles' pedo and
when he dropped that mix, I waslike, oh my god, I was like,
damn that shit, go crazy.
Yeah, the live performancesmade it like 10 times better.

(02:21:57):
Um, that's why a technician, djtechnician like I respect him a
lot, bro, because he's not thebest scratcher, but his scratch,
the scratching he does do, isextremely clean you know what
I'm saying so.
It's more so like he just knowsthe basics very well, right, and
so when he's scratching andhe's dropping, like it's just

(02:22:20):
coming in, like perfectly, youknow, and I think that's also a
thing where it's like less ismore.
He doesn't have to do all thatfancy.
He's going to scratch and dowhat he needs to do and it's
going to come in on time.
It's going to be crisp with thecuts, all that.

(02:22:47):
But yeah, that mixing, though,was Because that's what they
were saying about the verses,that he was the MVP, because he
was helping to challenge them.
Like all right, if Dipset playsthis, what are we going to hit
him with?
You know what I mean?
And just game planning and allthat.

(02:23:08):
And then, just being that hehas that DJ here, he's going to
attack it with tempo.
Like all right, you come withthis tempo we got to hit him
with some xyz, you know right,and I think that's something
that us, as djs, we don't evenrealize is that, like artists
are not able to really, you know, they just make the music, so

(02:23:29):
they're not able to pick up onlike what we be picking up as
far as like tempo and likeintensity and like matching
energy and stuff like that.
Like they're not able to notevery artist, of course, but
that's where we had that dj here, where we just, you know right,
makes sense.
But yeah, to go back to yourmashup thing, I just had to

(02:23:51):
really like the mix, um, becauseI don't know, I've somebody
suggested a mashup to me, likefor the slow set, and I'm just
like don't, don't do it becauseI'd be like and like to create
my own stuff, right, you know.
So I was just like, yeah,that's cool, but I don't know, I

(02:24:14):
don't know if I want to takethe time to download this, and
you know what I'm saying, haveit.

Speaker 1 (02:24:20):
Yeah, I ain't going to lie.
That's one thing about me.
Don't ask me to make no mashup.
Don't ask me to make no mashupbecause I'm not going to lie.
It's been a minute since I'vetaken a mashup.
And because I ain't going tolie, I've taken a couple mashups
, but I've just I don't know,we're not even mashup.
It's been more mixes thananything.
Um.

(02:24:41):
I remember I took the um.
I won't say he made it, butI'll say this is the first
person I ever heard do it.
It was um, the um his name wasuh his name was DJ Red.
he used to do the, the DJ RedLive.
I think DJ Red Live or it wasmy homeboy, dj Youngsta I don't

(02:25:02):
remember who did it first, but Ifeel like it was that era.
They were the first person Iever heard do the.
Bust it Wide Open into theBring it Back.
And that joint used to have theparties going stupid, like,
stupid, like the girls would begoing nuts when that joint would
come on um.

(02:25:23):
I remember hearing a mix on um.
I remember hearing a mix on theradio and I remember, I take, I
took it.
It was uh, uh, esther Dean's,uh, esther Dean's, drop it Low
into Back that Ass Up.
And it was the part it was thelittle one, it was the remix,

(02:25:43):
though it was the part with LilWayne where he was like, if your
ass too big, I'll make you backthat ass up.
And then, like he loops it intoBack that Ass Up and then like
he's playing Back that Ass Up,like he's playing the whole
verse, but you're not eventhinking about the song, but the
loop is still playing in thebackground.
So once the chords are comingback on, girl, you look good.

(02:26:03):
Why don't you back that ass up?
You, a fine motherfucker, whydon't you back that ass up?
Call me big daddy.
When you back that ass up, Iwas like bro, that is cold, I
need this now.

Speaker 3 (02:26:15):
That's crazy, as you mentioned, that, that john jett.
Remind me of dj school.
That why they had told us tomake a mix and that drop it
loads on the records bastardineinteresting bro they had such a.
It was an interesting like theyhad put that betty white song
tonight.

not the DJ I was back thenbecause I was lost.
I was like man, how am I goingto put all this together?

Speaker 1 (02:26:48):
That's funny.
Yeah, I think that's about it.
I ain't going to lie.
I did think about taking thatabout it.
I ain't gonna lie.
I did think about taking that.
I did think about take.
I forgot who I heard this from.
Actually, I don't think I knowwhat dj I took this from, but it
was a mix they did um with.
Uh, that tyler, lose my breathinto destiny's child, lose my

(02:27:09):
breath.
Well, I mean it's called water.

Maybe he won and I was I wasthinking about.

Speaker 3 (02:27:16):
I was like I don't want to take that.

Speaker 1 (02:27:18):
I don't take that, but um, yeah, I feel like I'm
like you.
I feel like I just really haveto like it for me to be like
damn, like I need to add this tomy list, but like, if folks are
asking me to make a mix, I'mnot doing that right, unless
