Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coming up on this week's episode of Hip Hop Now podcast,
Push Your Tea take shots at Travis Scott in a
new clips single. Lil Wayne wrote most of Drake's lyrics.
According to Wayne's Sun and my thoughts on Davis and
Young Chris's new project Fine Dining. I'm not even gonna
(00:24):
spoil it, y'all, but I'm gonna spoil it. I like
this one. Let's do it. Welcome to jip Hop Now
podcasts should do from the future. You know what to do.
Your ass out so disrespectful leg like hip hop is
(00:47):
say to today. Let's get right into the business. What up, y'all?
I am your host Vegas and this is hip Hop

(01:32):
The link is in the description of this episode. Man,
it's first of all, happy belated June tenth. You know
that happened. If you're from the future, get your ass
out of here and you already know the vibes. Okay. Also,
this channel and the audio podcast in a lot of
(01:55):
ways when it comes to content creation. There are a
number of things that I have planned to do, but
I want to make sure they're worthwhile. Right, Some people
just on YouTube specifically, just constantly pump out content because
that's kind of what you have to do on YouTube
to stay engaged, to stay active. Now, I do do
(02:15):
that in some regards, right. I see a lot of
things on the Internet and I share them via shorts.
So a lot of people have come to this channel
via the shorts I post, and I'd like to say this,
that's cool because I'm doing what they're doing. I'm browsing,
I'm seeing things, I'm engaging, and it's dope to see
(02:36):
that people wanted to subscribe to this channel because I'm
basically curating hip hop shorts right from different creators, but
the heads are the ones that will watch and listen
to the podcast because the podcast is a deeper experience.
So if your experience with all things hip hop, news andstalgia,
(03:00):
no matter what it is, but you like it in
short form, just follow. Because of the shorts, I'm good
with that. I'm good with people arguing as long as
you keep it clean and it's not racist and all that.
I'm good with people celebrating things in the comments section
of shorts. Trust me, I've had shorts that did crazy
(03:23):
numbers as a result of not only people who love
hip hop coming together, but also it feeds the algorithm
right organically, So it's not bods, it's the people. Some
people are surprised by that, but I am not, and
I'm not trying to brag, but I'm just telling me
(03:45):
what it is. I graduated from Morgan State University with
a college degree and communications, primarily media, meaning television and radio.
I've worked for over twenty five years in radio. But
the difference is is I've worked specifically on the content side,
which is directly connected to audience, right, so creating for audience,
(04:12):
analyzing audience, all that good stuff. So that's exactly what
I'm doing here, but I'm doing it from a more
organic situation. Right. I like what I like. I know
there's a lot of people who like a lot of
things I like. That's what I present to you. So
when you go to this channel beyond the shorts and
you say, well, what's on here, Well, there's this weekly
(04:33):
news podcast called hip Hop Now Podcast. Right. If that's
not your bag, Well I have a podcast with the
homie Tony from Into the Dome Podcast, who's also on YouTube,
that's all about the history of hip hop, nostalgia, moments,
artists record labels, we break it down. There's over seventy
(04:55):
plus episodes of just that. And I start doing reactions
recently because people like reactions, and I like reacting because
it's just you seeing me do something that I do
anyway that you probably do, which is you know, browse
YouTube and say, oh, Drake started the singing and rapping phase. Oh,
(05:17):
I need to press play on that because they lie
in right, So you go in and you watch and
you have a reaction. The difference is is you just
get to see my reaction. And if you see a
video like that, please send it to me. I will
do a reaction to it, Okay, I will, But all
all of the content, all the things I'm creating for
this channel and for this audio podcast, it's all about
(05:40):
building conversation. I know there's a lot of built in
answers to a lot of things on the internet because
your face with a lot of it being fake and
not true. So sure, the new phrase is they did
it for engagement, because that's true for a lot of people.
They will do and say things literally for engagement so
(06:03):
they could monetize, or so they could just gain a
huge following and then pretend to be celebrities in real life.
Nobody really knows you, right, they follow your Twitter account,
they follow your Instagram account, But you can still go
to the store. You're notited celebrity, you know what I'm saying.
(06:23):
You can still go to the store. Even when I
had my little radio station, and trust me, I was
broadcasting to way more listeners to the station than followers
I may have today, But I could still walk outside
because nobody even knew it was me like that, you
know what I'm saying. Like even when they could see
my profile on the website, you wouldn't be able to
(06:45):
spot me in public. The only time I've been spotted
in public was when I was hosting a hip hop
show way back in the day and I was at
a festival in Baltimore and I was at the radio
station's booth and I was taught talking to the interns
and a dude who came to the booth, who obviously
was a fan at stationed. He was looking at me
(07:08):
and you know, I'm from the hood, and you can
place that wherever you want to in this world, but
specifically Brooklyn, New York. You heard, But I'm thinking, what
is this? What we about to do? Like, what's about
to happen here? Why homie looking? And he was like,
(07:29):
you're Vegas. I'm like, yeah, right, you see how my
eyes got yeah, And he was like, yo, you funny.
I listened to Strictly Hip Hop, and that was the
first time I was like, oh yeah. I guess somebody
who listens to that show, if they heard me but
they don't see me all the time, they would be like,
(07:52):
is that him? It sounds exactly like him. So again,
here at hip Hop Now Podcast, we don't need to
cap we don't need to do things for lights and follows.
Do we want them. Of course we want them, but
that's more growing a community of people who love the
(08:13):
things that we love. You get it now. Big shout
out to Hip Hop DX dot com Double Excel. Even
though y'all did something crazy on Juneteenth, I wasn't really
feeling in a couple of places where I'm getting these
stories from. Let's get right into the business. Oh boy,
(08:34):
So push your T and his brother Malice or No Malice.
I think he's still going by No Malice dropped the
new single that will be on their forthcoming album Like
God Sort them Out. The single is called so Be
It and it's fire bars. You know the beat is
(09:01):
is I mean, it's just it's everything anybody who loves
the clips expects to hear. But I think it's even
better than that, right, I think it's better than that
Death Jam dropped the ball, y'all. I'm sorry. So this
new single drops with a video and I watch it
(09:22):
like everybody else. And apparently there's a portion in the
song where pushr T is taking shots at Travis Scott,
and from what I gathered not only from the bars,
but also him talking about it in an interview, like
I think, like the same day that the song dropped.
(09:46):
Their issue stems from a situation that happened that pusha
T wasn't really feeling, and also he wasn't feeling the
fact that they had some sort of relationship that went
sour over this situation, right, Like push your T explains
(10:08):
it like he was being pure even though he didn't
like certain things. Well, I'm saying all that to say
is when I tell you what he said in this
most recent interview, it says a lot more, not only
about the relationship but how he feels. And the end
(10:28):
result is like, damn, does Travis Scott need to answer this?
But like a disc record or a verse. So let
me just let y'all know the situation before we get there, right,
So shout out to Nick who dug up this information
before I did the show, so I ain't have to
do the research. Okay, But the situation is Push your
(10:49):
TA in malice or no malice or in a studio
session with Pharrell, Travis Scott came into the studio session
kind of interrupt it because he wanted to play some
songs for them. They let that happen, but he was
also filming and he also was acting weird. He had
a lot of weird energy. You know, he like he
(11:10):
was up to something, right, But obviously if you're cool
with somebody, you're not really thinking about it that much.
And he let them hear songs off an album, but
he didn't let them hear a particular song, which they
came to find out once it was released that the
songs was taking shots at Forell, right, and this whole
(11:31):
thing with the chain and all that being melted down
after it was But you know that's what you heard
with Drake and all that and the Kendrick battle, So
that broke pushed t the wrong way. So that's why
he took a couple of shots at Travis in this
new record, So be it. But then he appeared and
(11:51):
this is on Hip Hop dx dot com. In an
interview with Ebro on Apple Music, one half of the
clips further explain how his issues were with Scott stemmed
from when he interrupted a recording session with Pharrell and Paris.
This is what Push is saying, and I quote, I
just thought it was disrespectful. We don't even want you here,
to be honest, We're not here to hobnob with any rappers.
(12:15):
And I personally don't like rappers who don't rap. I
don't want to hear that. I don't want it now.
When he said that, Malice started laughing right like they've
been talking about it. He also said, so to come
and interrupt the session and do something backhanded and not
(12:37):
for nothing, but I done had to put my arm
around you before. But to go along with the title,
so be it, which is the new single. He does
this numerous times. He'll do it with his mentor yay.
So this sounds like there's another part, he said, And
(12:58):
I'm gonna try to play the all the for y'all,
but this that part is crazy, like I don't associate
with rappers who don't rap. And we'll we'll fill in
the blinks for those who don't understand. But let's see
if we can get this to play. I just thought
it was disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'm like, man, you know, we don't even want you
here to be honest, like when I hit a hog
now with any rappers, And I personally don't like rappers
who don't rap, right, like, I don't want to hear that,
like I don't want it, So, you know, to come
interrupted session to do something backhanded in backbiting and not
(13:38):
for nothing, like man, I didn't have to put my.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Arm around you before. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
But you know, to go along with the title, so
be it. He does this numerous times. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
He'll do it with his mentor right right, yay, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You know he was even instrumental in the in this
hole in the whole beef.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Now to like that verse, you know what I'm saying,
egging that on.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I don't want nobody who don't wrap the egg nothing
on it.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You don't rap, stay out of rappers business.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
You specifically stay out of rappers business.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Don't do that. That's crazy to tell another man who
has seen known as a rap artist that you're not
a rapper, stay out of rappers business. It's crazy. But
for those who are like, what do you mean by
that he raps, he's a rapper, what he means is
(14:35):
you don't have bars, You make songs, and what you're
doing technically is considered to be rap. But you're not
someone who creatively is interested in technique and elevating your
skill level at any point in any record. So to him,
(14:56):
it's like you don't even do this on a level
that we do. You don't. This is not something you do.
It's not something you want to do. That's not something
you've ever done. So stay out of our business when
we are going at each other as rappers. As he say,
he was referring to the Drake and Kendrick beef, saying
(15:18):
that he's egging on this beef between these two, right,
And I think in a lot of ways that's an
old that's an admission to Drake being a rapper, or
maybe just talking about Kendricks the rapper going against that
non rapper, which could be also what he's saying, but
(15:39):
essentially that's what he's saying, like, Yo, you don't. You
don't do this on this level, So stop playing in
this section of the yard. Go over there, right, And
he said specifically you that. To me, that's interesting also
because it's like, don't respond whether you do it, and
(16:00):
we can talk about that, whether you do it in
written form not written for him, in audio form or
in an interview right as far as well, let me
say it, because both for audio, right, respond via rapping
or in an interview or whatever or live or whatever.
(16:21):
Don't try to throw other people who are like you
into that conversation like a drake just because you feel
hurt by what's being said. And one other thing that
was interesting, and you know, this is why it's the
title of this episode this week is bun Bee was
on Shannon Sharp's Nightcap podcast and he said, you know,
(16:48):
and he didn't pick a side, right because Travis Scott
is from Houston, but he wanted excuse me, he wanted
people to know that Travis Scott is from Houston, and
me knowing him, he's going to respond, He's not gonna
let that just go now in the same breath because
(17:09):
originally I ain't even watched the rest. Once he said that,
I was like, what being from somewhere got to do
with you having a capability to battle or be nice
enough or have the heart to do it? Right? We
all say that because of where we're from and the pride,
but we act like we don't know suckers right, Suckers
are everywhere. Okay, But with that being said, I thought
(17:33):
about it. I was like, Wow, should Travis Scott respond now?
I tweeted out or post it depending on where you are,
that Travis Scott can respond, but he's going to get
cooked like a trill burger Blaine broiled right, Because it's true,
(18:01):
there's nothing about Travis Scott's music that I don't dislike.
Necessarily that told me he's a rappers rapper, he's a
bar king, he can go with the bars. He is
a songmaker and a highly successful one at back. But
(18:21):
like pusha t said, I don't want to hear from
you non rappers. If you don't, I don't like rappers
who don't rap. I gave you the definition of that bars. See,
it's easy for me right now. I'm not mad if
he does, because as a man, I mean, and especially
(18:42):
as an image, especially coming off of Battle that had
not only the hip hop head's attention but also the
attention of the world in a lot of respects, especially
because it was on like the super Bowlcus, I know
somebody might be like, oh, you mean the world. The
world watches the Super Bowl dog and he performed not
like us, right, So then what happens after that, people
(19:05):
don't know go and start googling and everything, and they
find a whole battle. So for someone of Travis Scott's stature,
who is a bigger artist, regardless if you prefer Push
your tea's he's the bigger artist success wise. I don't
know if he want to do that, he will not win.
(19:30):
An ain't no amount of ghostwriters in the world because
you don't have that built in integrity already to lift
your bars up, even if you come out with something dope,
because the minute push your t decides Okay, now I'm
gonna put all my attention on you. It's it's lights out.
We know it's going to be lights out. We know
(19:51):
we already listening to these clips, records like my God
Pusher mate already have it. This may be the reason
why he's so open about talking about it, because he
already got the bullets and the click. He's just waiting
for this dude to do some non rapper I'm better
than you, I'm richer than you stuff, so he can
(20:12):
mark him out for the rest of the eternity. And
some people may say, well, Travis is too successful for that.
As Drake, what that feels like, I mean, I got
the best of Drake playlist, I got Drake albums. I
like Drake. But he is eternally scarred by this battle,
(20:34):
so much that he started chipping in with some of
the scarring of hisself just doing stuff because he don't
know what to do. I should be better because I'm
richer and I'm more popular, but he wasn't. So my
advice to Travis Scott ignore it. Ignoring it is the
(20:54):
easiest thing you could do, because you know why, after
the people get exhausted with imagining what that battle would
be like, they move on and months down the line,
you dropping single album and you go. But if you engage,
we are going to learn things about you that we
(21:16):
did not know, and some of your fans are going
to be like, hey, I don't like him no more.
It just it happens, as Jo Rul Joe rue was
I fifty said, Yo, he's singing for holes like the
Cookie Monster, and everybody say, oh Joe Ruth's whack now
like what yesterday we were partying to his records. Just happens.
(21:40):
So move accordingly, is what I have to say. And
you know, I know that was a long winded section,
but it's brewing. It could be on and popping by
the time this is out. Who knows next story. So,
according to Lil Wayne's Lil Wayne wrote most of Drake's
(22:06):
lyrics back in the day, I guess here's a quote
my dad wrote most of Drake's ish, I mean, on
god like, if it wasn't for my pops, there wouldn't
be no Drake. I mean, there probably would be a thing,
(22:26):
but he wouldn't be where he's at. Though, no disrespect
to Drake. He hard. First of all, Shorty pause. Second
of all, if y'all see the photo of Shorty, my god,
is that little Wayne? I don't know to these y'all
young cats, y'all just don't know. Sometimes y'all just say
(22:48):
stuff right now? Do I believe him? I don't know.
I don't even know how old Shorty was when Drake
was out. He looked wild young, So he may feel
some kind of way about Drake because something else. We
know what that is. So maybe that's why he's saying this,
because I mean, what you know, Shorty, go to the store,
(23:09):
go play with your Nintendo switch? Right? Do you really know?
Have you been told this? If you were in a session,
how old were you? And I'm talking about early days now.
If he's saying, Lil Wayne been writing forever up until
recent times, and that's something different. But I don't know
whether to believe him or not, you know there is
(23:30):
I have a lot of questions in that regard, but
let's play in hypotheticis is there a clear sign lyrically
that Lil Wayne could have wrote a lot of stuff
for Drake, which if I'm looking at what his little
what his son is saying, he's probably talking about hits,
(23:53):
absolutely their songs. And you know, I know, if you
know the artists well enough, especially as a fan, I'm
a fan of a little way a fan of Drake, especially
knowing all the things that have been exposed over time
with Drake. You sometimes you wonder what was his pen?
What song is defended on? Some rap stuff definitively his pen?
(24:20):
Drake wrote that no one else. We can't really take
the word from Drake because he'd been trying to flashy
thing us with everything. Right, he's trying to flashy thing
us with the with the damn battle like he won
in round two's and tutored out lips with a bunch
of grown men in the mall. But some of us
(24:41):
is like, we too hip hop for that, So we
don't know what to believe. We would like to believe
some of your best bars came from you, and I
think in some ways, it has to be because like
early mixtape Drake, before he was really a f affiliated
with Lil Wayne, it wasn't like he was whack, and
(25:04):
then all of a sudden he switched. Now we know
what Lil Wayne. It wasn't like he was whack with
cash Money initially, but we know his style switched drastically,
and some call it the influence of Gilly the Kid
on Cash Money, and then others call it Gilly was
(25:25):
right in those bars because if you didn't know, Gilly
the Kid is not just ball ahead dude with a podcast.
Looked like he was having a stroke every time he talked.
He had bars. Back in the day, he was a
spitter out of Philly, Like, no, I don't care what
he looked like him Joe Budden, Yo, these dudes could rap.
There's a reason why some people listen to them, right,
(25:48):
because they know what they're talking about. So it was
like with Lil Wayne in that whole situation. I could
hear the bar version of Lil Wayne in some of
Drake's music, right, I could hear it. And we know
there's songs that were instrumental in Drake's beginnings. Best I've
(26:13):
had that came from somebody else. Right, So the whole
Frankenstein's Monster hip Hop theory on Drake was early. Now,
real quick, I'm gonna just say that because I've been
making these podcasts way too long later, But I just
(26:35):
want to say that early on, I mean not early on,
but a known thing in the record industry, even if
you're not in it as a fan. That's like a
pattern that you can see is that typically most rappers
get on based off of their own merits. Right. In
(26:58):
Drake's case is like I could and I could sing,
and I can make beats and his my mixtape, right,
same thing with Ja Cole, Right, I could rap his
my mixtape. Like everybody has that origin story that is
absolutely their pin. Unless you were lacking in a lot
of areas creating your first album and the record company
(27:23):
had to assist, whether it's writers, whether it's the right beats,
it's all about it's not just about the music, it's
not just about the pen. It's also about the marketing
of that individual. I could see in some instances a
person not having enough and so they created. Now that
(27:48):
doesn't mean Drake can't learn from that and then know
how to create it for himself and not need a
bunch of people like as far as writers and producers.
But history, in recent history has shown that you have
to look at his situation with a side eye. And
(28:09):
maybe you remember that show kids say the darnedest things.
Maybe Shorty is like, I don't care. My pops was
right in that stuff. And maybe even if he was
too young to really know it, he might be standing
around Wayne in the living room he looking at a
Drake video like I wrote that, not even talking to Shorty.
(28:34):
But Shorty's just listening because as his father, he look
up to him. I mean, you look at the picture like,
and is he him if your dad is like on
the phone and like, they owe me money because blah
blah blah blah blah. I did this, I did that,
I did this, I did that. And some people will say, well,
why don't Wayne just say that, Well, because it's not on.
(28:54):
If it was on between Drake and Lil Wayne, which
things looked suspicions suspiciously like it is, but they're just
not airing it out and they're on pick sides and
all that. And I don't think Lil Wayne wants to
get involved in that way. But it would be dope.
Imagine if Lil Wayne just made a disrecord about Drake
(29:15):
and they went back and forth. I think I'd be
here for that because it's that would be that would
be a lot. It will air out a lot of information,
so it's shortly telling the truth. Who knows right, It
could be his emotional attachment to that relationship, but also
(29:37):
could be his emotional attachment that tells him, yeah, you
asked me. My pops wrote most of that. He wrote
some stuff, but if it wasn't for my Pops, he
wouldn't be on. And there's a lot of truth to that.
So let me know what you think about that. In
a common section below, do you believe this little cat?
You know? I don't know? You tell me? And lastly,
(30:03):
so y'all know you know I did a recent episode
the Best of twenty twenty five. So far you will
see more lists start to come out. I just kind
of followed the steps of Rolling Stones. They already dropped
their joint, so I was like, I'm a drop mine,
and I knew there was a possibility that there could
(30:25):
be albums released between because the ideal time to drop
those are after the second quarter, which is around June thirtieth,
and as recorded as of the recording of this video
on this podcast, we got it like another week or
so to go right before we get there. But I
kind of wanted to put Mines out because it just
didn't feel like there was anything on the horizon that
(30:48):
was going to make my best of twenty twenty five
so far. Well, I think I was wrong because the
album I'm reviewing today on the podcast, if you don't know,
Project EP, whatever you want to call it, is featuring
Davies and Young Chris, and it's called Fine Dining. This
(31:10):
is Davies's second collaboration with another artist this year. He
did in a project with Ransom called Final Call, which
made My Best of twenty twenty five so far. Well,
guess what Davies on two less Because long story short,
I like it a lot. I like it a lot.
(31:32):
I like the bars, I like the beat selection, I
like the vibe. I like the parent of those two.
I think the parent of Young Chris and Dave East
is a little bit closer to Synergy than Ransom and Davies,
even though that project was still dope. This feels more
organic and maybe it's just more my style as a listener.
(31:55):
But I can listen to both now, yeah, I know
how I do. When it comes to reviews. I listen
to it three times. My first listen is just impressions, right,
second listen, I'm gonna listen more intently to the songs,
the bars, the concept, all of that. And my third
(32:16):
listen is just to confirm my thoughts. And like I said,
this project is I mean, it's dope. It's dope. I
like it a lot. Now is it best of the year.
I don't know. Will determine that when we get to
the end and it's you know, there's a couple of
features on here, but not many. It's really like three
(32:38):
Ransom being one of them on a song called Kiss
the Sky, and I like it a lot. Man Like,
there's probably one song on here, and I think it's
the joint called Ain't Adding Up? I think so I'm
forgetting a little bit. But there's no skips for me
(33:00):
on here, and I've already listened to it about four times,
to be honest, there's no skip for me, Like I
could let it ride, And I don't know. Maybe it's
the timing of this album, the music, the fact that
we're about to get a heat wave of ninety degree
weather after having a bunch of rains. So now I
get to pop out in my shorts and show off
(33:20):
my work from the gym, you know, stuff like that.
Maybe that's what it is. But long story short, I
know I probably said that, long story long then, okay?
Is that if you like Davies and if you've been
missing honestly, young Chris and we all know, you know,
(33:43):
we don't know. I'm not even gonna get into it
with Young Chris and you know, hove, but Young Chris
is a respect to MC and this pairing with Davies
was something that was not on my bingo card. But
it's pretty dope. It's pretty dope. It's boomback is recognizable,
(34:04):
samples from hit records, not necessarily all recent, a lot
of maybe soul records, you know what I'm saying. Like,
I think there's a sample of Rose Royce on here
Love Don't live here no more? Right, they flipped that
beat Like it's things like that that made me love.
(34:25):
His mixtape from last year was scram Jones called for
the Love, Like I just loved what they were doing
with the production. Right, So if you like these two artists,
if you like what this sounds like, because it's not
just you know, not just the lovey w tracks. It's
some boom back there. There's even some little bit of
(34:48):
you know, eight OA trap kind of feeling stuff there.
But it's really that's like one song, right, which is
not a problem. I think you would like this project.
I know a lot of artists release albums like crazy today,
like Bodie James, he probably released one hundred albums so
(35:09):
far in twenty twenty five. But I think if you're
going to release three or four projects, if their quality projects,
especially something like this that's a collaboration, so you get
to hear him with a different artist and you could
tell the vibe is different. I'm all forward, Like, if
Dave East wants to do two more of these with
(35:31):
artists that makes sense, I'd be with it, you know
what I'm saying. As long as this level of attention
is put on the beats, the choices of beats, the bars,
even the concepts in some ways, so I enjoy it.
So have you heard Davies and Young Chris's latest project?

Coming up on this week's episode of Hip Hop Now podcast,
Push Your Tea take shots at Travis Scott in a
new clips single. Lil Wayne wrote most of Drake's lyrics.
According to Wayne's Sun and my thoughts on Davis and
Young Chris's new project Fine Dining. I'm not even gonna
(00:24):
spoil it, y'all, but I'm gonna spoil it. I like
this one. Let's do it. Welcome to jip Hop Now

(01:32):
The link is in the description of this episode. Man,
it's first of all, happy belated June tenth. You know
that happened. If you're from the future, get your ass
out of here and you already know the vibes. Okay. Also,
this channel and the audio podcast in a lot of
(01:55):
ways when it comes to content creation. There are a
number of things that I have planned to do, but
I want to make sure they're worthwhile. Right, Some people
just on YouTube specifically, just constantly pump out content because
that's kind of what you have to do on YouTube
to stay engaged, to stay active. Now, I do do
(02:15):
that in some regards, right. I see a lot of
things on the Internet and I share them via shorts.
So a lot of people have come to this channel
via the shorts I post, and I'd like to say this,
that's cool because I'm doing what they're doing. I'm browsing,
I'm seeing things, I'm engaging, and it's dope to see
(02:36):
that people wanted to subscribe to this channel because I'm
basically curating hip hop shorts right from different creators, but
the heads are the ones that will watch and listen
to the podcast because the podcast is a deeper experience.
So if your experience with all things hip hop, news andstalgia,
(03:00):
no matter what it is, but you like it in
short form, just follow. Because of the shorts, I'm good
with that. I'm good with people arguing as long as
you keep it clean and it's not racist and all that.
I'm good with people celebrating things in the comments section
of shorts. Trust me, I've had shorts that did crazy
(03:23):
numbers as a result of not only people who love
hip hop coming together, but also it feeds the algorithm
right organically, So it's not bods, it's the people. Some
people are surprised by that, but I am not, and
I'm not trying to brag, but I'm just telling me
(03:45):
what it is. I graduated from Morgan State University with
a college degree and communications, primarily media, meaning television and radio.
I've worked for over twenty five years in radio. But
the difference is is I've worked specifically on the content side,
which is directly connected to audience, right, so creating for audience,
(04:12):
analyzing audience, all that good stuff. So that's exactly what
I'm doing here, but I'm doing it from a more
organic situation. Right. I like what I like. I know
there's a lot of people who like a lot of
things I like. That's what I present to you. So
when you go to this channel beyond the shorts and
you say, well, what's on here, Well, there's this weekly
(04:33):
news podcast called hip Hop Now Podcast. Right. If that's
not your bag, Well I have a podcast with the
homie Tony from Into the Dome Podcast, who's also on YouTube,
that's all about the history of hip hop, nostalgia, moments,
artists record labels, we break it down. There's over seventy
(04:55):
plus episodes of just that. And I start doing reactions
recently because people like reactions, and I like reacting because
it's just you seeing me do something that I do
anyway that you probably do, which is you know, browse
YouTube and say, oh, Drake started the singing and rapping phase. Oh,
(05:17):
I need to press play on that because they lie
in right, So you go in and you watch and
you have a reaction. The difference is is you just
get to see my reaction. And if you see a
video like that, please send it to me. I will
do a reaction to it, Okay, I will, But all
all of the content, all the things I'm creating for
this channel and for this audio podcast, it's all about
(05:40):
building conversation. I know there's a lot of built in
answers to a lot of things on the internet because
your face with a lot of it being fake and
not true. So sure, the new phrase is they did
it for engagement, because that's true for a lot of people.
They will do and say things literally for engagement so
(06:03):
they could monetize, or so they could just gain a
huge following and then pretend to be celebrities in real life.
Nobody really knows you, right, they follow your Twitter account,
they follow your Instagram account, But you can still go
to the store. You're notited celebrity, you know what I'm saying.
(06:23):
You can still go to the store. Even when I
had my little radio station, and trust me, I was
broadcasting to way more listeners to the station than followers
I may have today, But I could still walk outside
because nobody even knew it was me like that, you
know what I'm saying. Like even when they could see
my profile on the website, you wouldn't be able to
(06:45):
spot me in public. The only time I've been spotted
in public was when I was hosting a hip hop
show way back in the day and I was at
a festival in Baltimore and I was at the radio
station's booth and I was taught talking to the interns
and a dude who came to the booth, who obviously
was a fan at stationed. He was looking at me
(07:08):
and you know, I'm from the hood, and you can
place that wherever you want to in this world, but
specifically Brooklyn, New York. You heard, But I'm thinking, what
is this? What we about to do? Like, what's about
to happen here? Why homie looking? And he was like,
(07:29):
you're Vegas. I'm like, yeah, right, you see how my
eyes got yeah, And he was like, yo, you funny.
I listened to Strictly Hip Hop, and that was the
first time I was like, oh yeah. I guess somebody
who listens to that show, if they heard me but
they don't see me all the time, they would be like,
(07:52):
is that him? It sounds exactly like him. So again,
here at hip Hop Now Podcast, we don't need to
cap we don't need to do things for lights and follows.
Do we want them. Of course we want them, but
that's more growing a community of people who love the
(08:13):
things that we love. You get it now. Big shout
out to Hip Hop DX dot com Double Excel. Even
though y'all did something crazy on Juneteenth, I wasn't really
feeling in a couple of places where I'm getting these
stories from. Let's get right into the business. Oh boy,
(08:34):
So push your T and his brother Malice or No Malice.
I think he's still going by No Malice dropped the
new single that will be on their forthcoming album Like
God Sort them Out. The single is called so Be
It and it's fire bars. You know the beat is
(09:01):
is I mean, it's just it's everything anybody who loves
the clips expects to hear. But I think it's even
better than that, right, I think it's better than that
Death Jam dropped the ball, y'all. I'm sorry. So this
new single drops with a video and I watch it
(09:22):
like everybody else. And apparently there's a portion in the
song where pushr T is taking shots at Travis Scott,
and from what I gathered not only from the bars,
but also him talking about it in an interview, like
I think, like the same day that the song dropped.
(09:46):
Their issue stems from a situation that happened that pusha
T wasn't really feeling, and also he wasn't feeling the
fact that they had some sort of relationship that went
sour over this situation, right, Like push your T explains
(10:08):
it like he was being pure even though he didn't
like certain things. Well, I'm saying all that to say
is when I tell you what he said in this
most recent interview, it says a lot more, not only
about the relationship but how he feels. And the end
(10:28):
result is like, damn, does Travis Scott need to answer this?
But like a disc record or a verse. So let
me just let y'all know the situation before we get there, right,
So shout out to Nick who dug up this information
before I did the show, so I ain't have to
do the research. Okay, But the situation is Push your
(10:49):
TA in malice or no malice or in a studio
session with Pharrell, Travis Scott came into the studio session
kind of interrupt it because he wanted to play some
songs for them. They let that happen, but he was
also filming and he also was acting weird. He had
a lot of weird energy. You know, he like he
(11:10):
was up to something, right, But obviously if you're cool
with somebody, you're not really thinking about it that much.
And he let them hear songs off an album, but
he didn't let them hear a particular song, which they
came to find out once it was released that the
songs was taking shots at Forell, right, and this whole
(11:31):
thing with the chain and all that being melted down
after it was But you know that's what you heard
with Drake and all that and the Kendrick battle, So
that broke pushed t the wrong way. So that's why
he took a couple of shots at Travis in this
new record, So be it. But then he appeared and
(11:51):
this is on Hip Hop dx dot com. In an
interview with Ebro on Apple Music, one half of the
clips further explain how his issues were with Scott stemmed
from when he interrupted a recording session with Pharrell and Paris.
This is what Push is saying, and I quote, I
just thought it was disrespectful. We don't even want you here,
to be honest, We're not here to hobnob with any rappers.
(12:15):
And I personally don't like rappers who don't rap. I
don't want to hear that. I don't want it now.
When he said that, Malice started laughing right like they've
been talking about it. He also said, so to come
and interrupt the session and do something backhanded and not
(12:37):
for nothing, but I done had to put my arm
around you before. But to go along with the title,
so be it, which is the new single. He does
this numerous times. He'll do it with his mentor yay.
So this sounds like there's another part, he said, And
(12:58):
I'm gonna try to play the all the for y'all,
but this that part is crazy, like I don't associate
with rappers who don't rap. And we'll we'll fill in
the blinks for those who don't understand. But let's see
if we can get this to play. I just thought
it was disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'm like, man, you know, we don't even want you
here to be honest, like when I hit a hog
now with any rappers, And I personally don't like rappers
who don't rap, right, like, I don't want to hear that,
like I don't want it, So, you know, to come
interrupted session to do something backhanded in backbiting and not
(13:38):
for nothing, like man, I didn't have to put my.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Arm around you before. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
But you know, to go along with the title, so
be it. He does this numerous times. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
He'll do it with his mentor right right, yay, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You know he was even instrumental in the in this
hole in the whole beef.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Now to like that verse, you know what I'm saying,
egging that on.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I don't want nobody who don't wrap the egg nothing
on it.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You don't rap, stay out of rappers business.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
You specifically stay out of rappers business.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Don't do that. That's crazy to tell another man who
has seen known as a rap artist that you're not
a rapper, stay out of rappers business. It's crazy. But
for those who are like, what do you mean by
that he raps, he's a rapper, what he means is
(14:35):
you don't have bars, You make songs, and what you're
doing technically is considered to be rap. But you're not
someone who creatively is interested in technique and elevating your
skill level at any point in any record. So to him,
(14:56):
it's like you don't even do this on a level
that we do. You don't. This is not something you do.
It's not something you want to do. That's not something
you've ever done. So stay out of our business when
we are going at each other as rappers. As he say,
he was referring to the Drake and Kendrick beef, saying
(15:18):
that he's egging on this beef between these two, right,
And I think in a lot of ways that's an
old that's an admission to Drake being a rapper, or
maybe just talking about Kendricks the rapper going against that
non rapper, which could be also what he's saying, but
(15:39):
essentially that's what he's saying, like, Yo, you don't. You
don't do this on this level, So stop playing in
this section of the yard. Go over there, right, And
he said specifically you that. To me, that's interesting also
because it's like, don't respond whether you do it, and
(16:00):
we can talk about that, whether you do it in
written form not written for him, in audio form or
in an interview right as far as well, let me
say it, because both for audio, right, respond via rapping
or in an interview or whatever or live or whatever.
(16:21):
Don't try to throw other people who are like you
into that conversation like a drake just because you feel
hurt by what's being said. And one other thing that
was interesting, and you know, this is why it's the
title of this episode this week is bun Bee was
on Shannon Sharp's Nightcap podcast and he said, you know,
(16:48):
and he didn't pick a side, right because Travis Scott
is from Houston, but he wanted excuse me, he wanted
people to know that Travis Scott is from Houston, and
me knowing him, he's going to respond, He's not gonna
let that just go now in the same breath because
(17:09):
originally I ain't even watched the rest. Once he said that,
I was like, what being from somewhere got to do
with you having a capability to battle or be nice
enough or have the heart to do it? Right? We
all say that because of where we're from and the pride,
but we act like we don't know suckers right, Suckers
are everywhere. Okay, But with that being said, I thought
(17:33):
about it. I was like, Wow, should Travis Scott respond now?
I tweeted out or post it depending on where you are,
that Travis Scott can respond, but he's going to get
cooked like a trill burger Blaine broiled right, Because it's true,
(18:01):
there's nothing about Travis Scott's music that I don't dislike.
Necessarily that told me he's a rappers rapper, he's a
bar king, he can go with the bars. He is
a songmaker and a highly successful one at back. But
(18:21):
like pusha t said, I don't want to hear from
you non rappers. If you don't, I don't like rappers
who don't rap. I gave you the definition of that bars. See,
it's easy for me right now. I'm not mad if
he does, because as a man, I mean, and especially
(18:42):
as an image, especially coming off of Battle that had
not only the hip hop head's attention but also the
attention of the world in a lot of respects, especially
because it was on like the super Bowlcus, I know
somebody might be like, oh, you mean the world. The
world watches the Super Bowl dog and he performed not
like us, right, So then what happens after that, people
(19:05):
don't know go and start googling and everything, and they
find a whole battle. So for someone of Travis Scott's stature,
who is a bigger artist, regardless if you prefer Push
your tea's he's the bigger artist success wise. I don't
know if he want to do that, he will not win.
(19:30):
An ain't no amount of ghostwriters in the world because
you don't have that built in integrity already to lift
your bars up, even if you come out with something dope,
because the minute push your t decides Okay, now I'm
gonna put all my attention on you. It's it's lights out.
We know it's going to be lights out. We know
(19:51):
we already listening to these clips, records like my God
Pusher mate already have it. This may be the reason
why he's so open about talking about it, because he
already got the bullets and the click. He's just waiting
for this dude to do some non rapper I'm better
than you, I'm richer than you stuff, so he can
(20:12):
mark him out for the rest of the eternity. And
some people may say, well, Travis is too successful for that.
As Drake, what that feels like, I mean, I got
the best of Drake playlist, I got Drake albums. I
like Drake. But he is eternally scarred by this battle,
(20:34):
so much that he started chipping in with some of
the scarring of hisself just doing stuff because he don't
know what to do. I should be better because I'm
richer and I'm more popular, but he wasn't. So my
advice to Travis Scott ignore it. Ignoring it is the
(20:54):
easiest thing you could do, because you know why, after
the people get exhausted with imagining what that battle would
be like, they move on and months down the line,
you dropping single album and you go. But if you engage,
we are going to learn things about you that we
(21:16):
did not know, and some of your fans are going
to be like, hey, I don't like him no more.
It just it happens, as Jo Rul Joe rue was
I fifty said, Yo, he's singing for holes like the
Cookie Monster, and everybody say, oh Joe Ruth's whack now
like what yesterday we were partying to his records. Just happens.
(21:40):
So move accordingly, is what I have to say. And
you know, I know that was a long winded section,
but it's brewing. It could be on and popping by
the time this is out. Who knows next story. So,
according to Lil Wayne's Lil Wayne wrote most of Drake's
(22:06):
lyrics back in the day, I guess here's a quote
my dad wrote most of Drake's ish, I mean, on
god like, if it wasn't for my pops, there wouldn't
be no Drake. I mean, there probably would be a thing,
(22:26):
but he wouldn't be where he's at. Though, no disrespect
to Drake. He hard. First of all, Shorty pause. Second
of all, if y'all see the photo of Shorty, my god,
is that little Wayne? I don't know to these y'all
young cats, y'all just don't know. Sometimes y'all just say
(22:48):
stuff right now? Do I believe him? I don't know.
I don't even know how old Shorty was when Drake
was out. He looked wild young, So he may feel
some kind of way about Drake because something else. We
know what that is. So maybe that's why he's saying this,
because I mean, what you know, Shorty, go to the store,
(23:09):
go play with your Nintendo switch? Right? Do you really know?
Have you been told this? If you were in a session,
how old were you? And I'm talking about early days now.
If he's saying, Lil Wayne been writing forever up until
recent times, and that's something different. But I don't know
whether to believe him or not, you know there is
(23:30):
I have a lot of questions in that regard, but
let's play in hypotheticis is there a clear sign lyrically
that Lil Wayne could have wrote a lot of stuff
for Drake, which if I'm looking at what his little
what his son is saying, he's probably talking about hits,
(23:53):
absolutely their songs. And you know, I know, if you
know the artists well enough, especially as a fan, I'm
a fan of a little way a fan of Drake, especially
knowing all the things that have been exposed over time
with Drake. You sometimes you wonder what was his pen?
What song is defended on? Some rap stuff definitively his pen?
(24:20):
Drake wrote that no one else. We can't really take
the word from Drake because he'd been trying to flashy
thing us with everything. Right, he's trying to flashy thing
us with the with the damn battle like he won
in round two's and tutored out lips with a bunch
of grown men in the mall. But some of us
(24:41):
is like, we too hip hop for that, So we
don't know what to believe. We would like to believe
some of your best bars came from you, and I
think in some ways, it has to be because like
early mixtape Drake, before he was really a f affiliated
with Lil Wayne, it wasn't like he was whack, and
(25:04):
then all of a sudden he switched. Now we know
what Lil Wayne. It wasn't like he was whack with
cash Money initially, but we know his style switched drastically,
and some call it the influence of Gilly the Kid
on Cash Money, and then others call it Gilly was
(25:25):
right in those bars because if you didn't know, Gilly
the Kid is not just ball ahead dude with a podcast.
Looked like he was having a stroke every time he talked.
He had bars. Back in the day, he was a
spitter out of Philly, Like, no, I don't care what
he looked like him Joe Budden, Yo, these dudes could rap.
There's a reason why some people listen to them, right,
(25:48):
because they know what they're talking about. So it was
like with Lil Wayne in that whole situation. I could
hear the bar version of Lil Wayne in some of
Drake's music, right, I could hear it. And we know
there's songs that were instrumental in Drake's beginnings. Best I've
(26:13):
had that came from somebody else. Right, So the whole
Frankenstein's Monster hip Hop theory on Drake was early. Now,
real quick, I'm gonna just say that because I've been
making these podcasts way too long later, But I just
(26:35):
want to say that early on, I mean not early on,
but a known thing in the record industry, even if
you're not in it as a fan. That's like a
pattern that you can see is that typically most rappers
get on based off of their own merits. Right. In
(26:58):
Drake's case is like I could and I could sing,
and I can make beats and his my mixtape, right,
same thing with Ja Cole, Right, I could rap his
my mixtape. Like everybody has that origin story that is
absolutely their pin. Unless you were lacking in a lot
of areas creating your first album and the record company
(27:23):
had to assist, whether it's writers, whether it's the right beats,
it's all about it's not just about the music, it's
not just about the pen. It's also about the marketing
of that individual. I could see in some instances a
person not having enough and so they created. Now that
(27:48):
doesn't mean Drake can't learn from that and then know
how to create it for himself and not need a
bunch of people like as far as writers and producers.
But history, in recent history has shown that you have
to look at his situation with a side eye. And
(28:09):
maybe you remember that show kids say the darnedest things.
Maybe Shorty is like, I don't care. My pops was
right in that stuff. And maybe even if he was
too young to really know it, he might be standing
around Wayne in the living room he looking at a
Drake video like I wrote that, not even talking to Shorty.
(28:34):
But Shorty's just listening because as his father, he look
up to him. I mean, you look at the picture like,
and is he him if your dad is like on
the phone and like, they owe me money because blah
blah blah blah blah. I did this, I did that,
I did this, I did that. And some people will say, well,
why don't Wayne just say that, Well, because it's not on.
(28:54):
If it was on between Drake and Lil Wayne, which
things looked suspicions suspiciously like it is, but they're just
not airing it out and they're on pick sides and
all that. And I don't think Lil Wayne wants to
get involved in that way. But it would be dope.
Imagine if Lil Wayne just made a disrecord about Drake
(29:15):
and they went back and forth. I think I'd be
here for that because it's that would be that would
be a lot. It will air out a lot of information,
so it's shortly telling the truth. Who knows right, It
could be his emotional attachment to that relationship, but also
(29:37):
could be his emotional attachment that tells him, yeah, you
asked me. My pops wrote most of that. He wrote
some stuff, but if it wasn't for my Pops, he
wouldn't be on. And there's a lot of truth to that.
So let me know what you think about that. In
a common section below, do you believe this little cat?
You know? I don't know? You tell me? And lastly,
(30:03):
so y'all know you know I did a recent episode
the Best of twenty twenty five. So far you will
see more lists start to come out. I just kind
of followed the steps of Rolling Stones. They already dropped
their joint, so I was like, I'm a drop mine,
and I knew there was a possibility that there could
(30:25):
be albums released between because the ideal time to drop
those are after the second quarter, which is around June thirtieth,
and as recorded as of the recording of this video
on this podcast, we got it like another week or
so to go right before we get there. But I
kind of wanted to put Mines out because it just
didn't feel like there was anything on the horizon that
(30:48):
was going to make my best of twenty twenty five
so far. Well, I think I was wrong because the
album I'm reviewing today on the podcast, if you don't know,
Project EP, whatever you want to call it, is featuring
Davies and Young Chris, and it's called Fine Dining. This
(31:10):
is Davies's second collaboration with another artist this year. He
did in a project with Ransom called Final Call, which
made My Best of twenty twenty five so far. Well,
guess what Davies on two less Because long story short,
I like it a lot. I like it a lot.
(31:32):
I like the bars, I like the beat selection, I
like the vibe. I like the parent of those two.
I think the parent of Young Chris and Dave East
is a little bit closer to Synergy than Ransom and Davies,
even though that project was still dope. This feels more
organic and maybe it's just more my style as a listener.
(31:55):
But I can listen to both now, yeah, I know
how I do. When it comes to reviews. I listen
to it three times. My first listen is just impressions, right,
second listen, I'm gonna listen more intently to the songs,
the bars, the concept, all of that. And my third
(32:16):
listen is just to confirm my thoughts. And like I said,
this project is I mean, it's dope. It's dope. I
like it a lot. Now is it best of the year.
I don't know. Will determine that when we get to
the end and it's you know, there's a couple of
features on here, but not many. It's really like three
(32:38):
Ransom being one of them on a song called Kiss
the Sky, and I like it a lot. Man Like,
there's probably one song on here, and I think it's
the joint called Ain't Adding Up? I think so I'm
forgetting a little bit. But there's no skips for me
(33:00):
on here, and I've already listened to it about four times,
to be honest, there's no skip for me, Like I
could let it ride, And I don't know. Maybe it's
the timing of this album, the music, the fact that
we're about to get a heat wave of ninety degree
weather after having a bunch of rains. So now I
get to pop out in my shorts and show off
(33:20):
my work from the gym, you know, stuff like that.
Maybe that's what it is. But long story short, I
know I probably said that, long story long then, okay?
Is that if you like Davies and if you've been
missing honestly, young Chris and we all know, you know,
(33:43):
we don't know. I'm not even gonna get into it
with Young Chris and you know, hove, but Young Chris
is a respect to MC and this pairing with Davies
was something that was not on my bingo card. But
it's pretty dope. It's pretty dope. It's boomback is recognizable,
(34:04):
samples from hit records, not necessarily all recent, a lot
of maybe soul records, you know what I'm saying. Like,
I think there's a sample of Rose Royce on here
Love Don't live here no more? Right, they flipped that
beat Like it's things like that that made me love.
(34:25):
His mixtape from last year was scram Jones called for
the Love, Like I just loved what they were doing
with the production. Right, So if you like these two artists,
if you like what this sounds like, because it's not
just you know, not just the lovey w tracks. It's
some boom back there. There's even some little bit of
(34:48):
you know, eight OA trap kind of feeling stuff there.
But it's really that's like one song, right, which is
not a problem. I think you would like this project.
I know a lot of artists release albums like crazy today,
like Bodie James, he probably released one hundred albums so
(35:09):
far in twenty twenty five. But I think if you're
going to release three or four projects, if their quality projects,
especially something like this that's a collaboration, so you get
to hear him with a different artist and you could
tell the vibe is different. I'm all forward, Like, if
Dave East wants to do two more of these with
(35:31):
artists that makes sense, I'd be with it, you know
what I'm saying. As long as this level of attention
is put on the beats, the choices of beats, the bars,
even the concepts in some ways, so I enjoy it.
So have you heard Davies and Young Chris's latest project?
