Hey, we're back, We're back.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Welcome to another episode with all drell Lockspidy Podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
And today today we're gonna kind of try and pick
up where we left off last show. All right, last
show we did Top ten Villains, Top ten Great Villains,
and we talked a little bit about rap, hip hop
and what we plan to do with the show.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
You know what I mean. Now it's twenty twenty five
and I use the word hip hop. You know.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
That right there could probably start a fight because people
talking about rap.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It ain't hip hop today. It's different genres.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
That right there could just straight start a fight, you know,
because the culture of hip hop is so different.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
What you say, Noah, mean word to my mother fan?
What you say fam wow? Okay, So what my point
is this here on the Dreadlocks Spidery Podcast.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Hopefully in December we will actually have a top ten
rapper list for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
You know, that's what I honestly want to do.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
But before we get to there, we gotta have something like,
who are we to make this list of the top
ten rappers?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Okay, I want to have a judge panel to be fair,
but this is the case.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
In order to show that I qualify, I'm gonna actually
start doing something for real research and showing my sources
and telling y'all, hey, this is about as concrete as
I can go. Is canine as I am has canine
as I can be, But this is what it is.
There's gonna be criterias, there's gonna be standards. I'm gonna
straight have a group of people with me, like I'm
(03:12):
gonna be looking up the actual origin and showing y'all
the roots because from what I know, hip hop came
from New York, where some people want to argue and
say it came from the.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
South slavery blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
But the origin is it as important as right now
who's popping and what's going on? Well that's another debate
for a whole nother show, another topic for a whole
nother show. Because this show today, baby, what dreadlocks, Spidery
(03:45):
you want to get on?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Is this I got another list and I got it. Uh,
it's the Temple of hip Hop dot Com.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
That's one of the sources. I also got a source
that's Spotify Metrics Vault. It's the Spotify Music Metrics Vault.
That's one of my sources today. And also fan base.
Uh yeah, it's a fan base, but it's still reliable.
(04:16):
I would say they had. I was looking up the
elements of hip hop because I remember years ago I
got into an argument with somebody. I thought I knew
what I was talking about, and it was a younger
dude that checked me on the elements of hip hop
because I had something wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I think it was knowledge knowledge you feel me.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
I think it was the knowledge in the chip getting
myself a flie for my mom. But I'm almost for
certain it was a group called hip hop or Rap
on Facebook and I was going to watching movies doing.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
A little research about hip hop book today.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I did find a list that's similar, but they added
like two because they got nine elements and I thought
it was At first, I actually thought it was three
or four. But things change and people evolve in sodo systems,
and so has rapped cause people be the rappers, so right,
now we're gonna go over the nine according to who
(05:17):
is this?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Who is this?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Because I had two different lists. Fandom hip hop database,
that's what that was. That's fandom hip hop database. And
forgive me, but I have like two different lists, and
I think it was the fandom database that just broke
it down a little bit better. So that's the one
I'm gonna go with. They got their number one. Well, no, no, no, no, no,
(05:43):
let's go to number nine. Let's go to number nine.
It's not no, it don't really matter to order, because
this is the elements of hip hop.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So we can start off at number one, number of
number one.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
So their number one element for hip hop is break dance,
dunta dunt dunt dunk.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And I can't argue with that. Who can argue with that?
Who can argue with that?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
And say it started off with breakdancing, okay, okay? And
then number two, then the rappers, then the rappers, okay,
Then the rappers came out to play and started putting
lyrics there, and then number three was graffiti art, their
number four was DJing, their number five was be boxing.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I would think b boxing came before a rap. I
don't know, but I don't know, but number six they are.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
This is one reason why I chose this list because
they used the word street fashion. Street fashion. It was different.
The clothes that they was rocking was different. Especially on
the East Coasters. They was doing the bottom rockers. Some
of the birls had the bottom rockers on the motorcycle jackets.
They was coming out of the seventies going to the eighties,
(07:00):
and the dress was different. They was leaving the disco era,
going in the rap, going into like a different type
of culture that Malcolm X was saying that bebop, the
hip hop. It was leaving that one street gang culture
and it was going into something else because the rhythm
(07:20):
was different.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
They was leaving that disco.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
And then the Latins that was in the Bronx had
that mambo, and the Latino mambo was mixing with the
bars and the brothers that was coming from the South moving.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
To New York. Who want to argue?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
So when you got all these cultures in one place, clashing,
creativity starts to transpire right in them boroughs in the
New York areas.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You feel me.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
You got all these melting pots to cultures. So you
got all these games fighting some of them could dance.
Name one movie where the gang bangers at one point
or another for me minutes to society, the colors, they
wasn't partying at one point or another, dancing together, drinking together.
Name one squad then, ain't got a little dance. It's
something that they do when they go out, you know
(08:11):
what I'm saying. So they used to get They used
to instead of always knuckling it up, sometimes they would
dance it out. You know, we're gonna dance it out.
Who the better squad? They was doing it when I
got older as Saints in the Palace, all right. But
that was street fashion.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh there he is, there he is. Are you gonna
like this? I got here. I got a list of
the elements and hip hop, the non elements in hip hop.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah yeah, And I got it from mom fandom hip
hop data base. But the reason why I got it
is because I liked how they said not just fashion,
but they said street fashion. And just because just because
they walked through the door, I'm gonna start the list
all over again.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
All right.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
They said the first element was break dance, The second
element was rapping, The third element was graffiti arc, the
fourth was DJing, The fifth is beatboxing, six is street fashion,
seven is street language, eight is street knowledge, nine is
street entrepreneurship.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And that's from the Temple of hip Hop dot Com.
Now was from the Temple to hip Hop dot Com.
But the fourth core, the four core elements was breaking,
d Jying, graffiti, and MC all Right.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
The regular fandom list that they had was cool too,
But this episode right now, above all, what I want
to talk about is I already addressed that we're gonna
have a top ten rappers at twenty twenty five, and
we was gonna work our way to that. But I
enjoyed having a list so much that I went back
and got another one. I went back and got another one,
(09:58):
and in twenty this is twenty twenty twenty five. I
made sure that the date was present. It's twenty twenty
five Spotify Music Metrics, it's their metrics vault, and this
is the top ten most popular artist in twenty twenty
five according to Spotify. Now, I don't know necessarily they
tried to find what month, but I think this is
pretty much right now.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And I also has a special treat.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
I don't know, y'all want to wait if y'all want
to wait for me to just tell you now wait
for later, but accord I want to say is eas
According to Exclusive Songwriter Agreement, I also got the name
of the best selling rapper of all time right now
has of April twenty four, twenty twenty five. I got
the name of the guy you know, but right now
(10:45):
I want to go over because this is just to
tell y'all, skill ain't always what's.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Getting you scream and getting you streams and selling records.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Okay, skill In this list that we have, the number
one rapper might be a rapper who brought out some albums,
are just being assistant, depending on whatever standard we had,
But he may not be the he or she or
she or she may not be the best selling rapper
that's out. It's just the rapper according to us, is
the one that's been consistent, that's been cooming with bars,
(11:14):
that's just been sticking to that list, you know what
I'm saying. But right now, since they have a category,
I'm using Spotify as an example because they are credible.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
People actually listen to them.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
And I even got the numbers. The numbers I had
because these are seven digits, I'm counter all right, so

Speaker 5 (17:17):
I mean, this is the thing about Drizzy. He loses
every fight lyrically pretty much, but he still makes good music.
It's just that he got dominated by Kendrick everybody. He
always the only one he beat was Meek. Let's just
(17:38):
keep it real, right, And and you know, not saying
that meat don't eat when meat, when meat spent freestyle,

Just what it is when it comes to that battle. Yeah,
but that ain't Drake first time losing because that push.
Speaker 2 (17:55):

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Shouts out the stronger than ever by the way, I'm
itshed to got Is shout OUTPI.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Drill Lots Spighty, Right, I told him I'm getting him,
getting him. Get y' all ready for the top ten
because the whole station gonna be involved in that, and
were just walking through the process of wrap because I
acknowledge that music changes and it grows, so you know
on this show it's the Drill Lots Spidy Podcast shouts
out to Peter Parker and the Spidy.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
And shouts out to Marvel Comic because they made it.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Known if you got any interest in doing anything with them,
contracts with them. Just create the stuff and put it
out there. Put it out and if they like what
you got, they're gonna find you that They let that
be known. But right now, we just addressing rap and
for fun before it get real serious, because it's gonna
get deep when we get to talking about it.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I'm gonna go once again.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I'm gonna go over my little love list that I
found the elements for as far as the elements of
hip hop that I had, I got from the Temple
to hip hop dot com.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The first one was breakdance. Let's put it this way.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
The four core are breaking d Jane which breakdancing, breaking DJing,
and graffiti and mcn all.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Right, pop loocking ain't on there. Does that count as breakdancing?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I would say so, pop.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Locking and breakdancing.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Breakdance. So what was first?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Poplock or break dancing?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I had no idea, But if you talk about pop
in California, but.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
He went, that's one. That's the whole point in the conversation.
Break dancing. From this Temple of hip hop, break dancing
was number one. Rapping number two, Graffiti Arc number three,
which we still do tagging for DJ and five beat boxing.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And the reason why I.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Picked this list, like I said before, is because they
didn't just say fashion. They said street fashion, and that
was what I liked to show.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Like Fubu and rocker wear and came truck fit.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
In the eighties.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
When they were coming to the leaving the seventies, coming
to the eighties, they were still wearing the like the
motorcycle jackets.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Yeah, and the hats, the l COJ hacks and stuff
in the chain.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
They might have cowboy hats on and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
They was dressing was different because it was a bunch
of different coaches in what area. You have people coming
from down South moving to Harlem, and you have Puerto
Ricans and Dominicans being around the corner.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Then you might have some Irish people.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
So all of those styles was just forming it together,
you know, and now we got so much what's going
on now was inevitable. You see people coming out using
wrap to speak like Georgiana, the girl what's her name,
i'mnna smack that lake front to the lake front, look
want you anyway?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Number six with street fashion.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Number seven with street language, number eight with street knowledge
and number nine with street entrepreneurship.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Street all about making that gt A A who know
what that means for real?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
What it means total aloun grand total amounts GTA. I
thought it was get that asset, our grand theft auto
or grand theft ato.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
It means a lot of things these days. That's what
Easy meant when he said it.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
But tho, So those that list is for hip hop.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
That was denied.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
This is according to Temple of hip Hop dot com now,
and I also had one from fan Base, but I
chose that one because they had the street knowledge and
the street entrepreneurship.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So there was another one I had, but it's pretty
much the same thing. It's just in a different order.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
And what the other thing I had was most popular
artists and rap on Spotify according to Spotify Music Metrics.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
All right, so this is the algorithm and what they
are determined and not the people's choice.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Well, I say, if that's the people subscribing, then that's
the people. True, then that would be the people's choice.
They can't manipulate that. That's forty millions, millions and millions, true.
The numbers can't line when it well, yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Leverence can line.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
When you got botes and you got people making pages
on pages to make more people.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Their system has been cracking. That's why they were in
court for that. They've been cracking down. Those streams are
gonna be official streams for those artists, those those people
right there, those streams right there, them is botless streams.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Them is botless. But while we own this.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
What okay, y'all already the last the last thing we're
gonna speak on today, because we just picked up where
we left off, and then we're gonna close out after
this has of twenty twenty five, April of April twenty four,
twenty twenty five, This article, I think it's as it
goes back to May twenty twenty five. Oh, this is
(23:39):
chartmasters dot org and this is has of this has
of that month this year, this particular artist based on ESA.
I think ESA is exclusive songwriter agreement. I could be
dead ass wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I'm sorry. I tried to find it was so many
different meanings, but that was the closest.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
One into the case.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
The only thing I could find that we relate to
the case. Chartmasters dot Org. The best selling rapper of
all time. Is the hint is he's in the top ten.
Speaker 2 (24:12):

Hey, we're back, We're back.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Welcome to another episode with all drell Lockspidy Podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
And today today we're gonna kind of try and pick
up where we left off last show. All right, last
show we did Top ten Villains, Top ten Great Villains,
and we talked a little bit about rap, hip hop
and what we plan to do with the show.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
You know what I mean. Now it's twenty twenty five
and I use the word hip hop. You know.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
That right there could probably start a fight because people
talking about rap.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It ain't hip hop today. It's different genres.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
That right there could just straight start a fight, you know,
because the culture of hip hop is so different.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
What you say, Noah, mean word to my mother fan?
What you say fam wow? Okay, So what my point
is this here on the Dreadlocks Spidery Podcast.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Hopefully in December we will actually have a top ten
rapper list for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
You know, that's what I honestly want to do.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
But before we get to there, we gotta have something like,
who are we to make this list of the top
ten rappers?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Okay, I want to have a judge panel to be fair,
but this is the case.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
In order to show that I qualify, I'm gonna actually
start doing something for real research and showing my sources
and telling y'all, hey, this is about as concrete as
I can go. Is canine as I am has canine
as I can be, But this is what it is.
There's gonna be criterias, there's gonna be standards. I'm gonna
straight have a group of people with me, like I'm
(03:12):
gonna be looking up the actual origin and showing y'all
the roots because from what I know, hip hop came
from New York, where some people want to argue and
say it came from the.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
South slavery blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
But the origin is it as important as right now
who's popping and what's going on? Well that's another debate
for a whole nother show, another topic for a whole
nother show. Because this show today, baby, what dreadlocks, Spidery
(03:45):
you want to get on?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Is this I got another list and I got it. Uh,
it's the Temple of hip Hop dot Com.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
That's one of the sources. I also got a source
that's Spotify Metrics Vault. It's the Spotify Music Metrics Vault.
That's one of my sources today. And also fan base.
Uh yeah, it's a fan base, but it's still reliable.
(04:16):
I would say they had. I was looking up the
elements of hip hop because I remember years ago I
got into an argument with somebody. I thought I knew
what I was talking about, and it was a younger
dude that checked me on the elements of hip hop
because I had something wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I think it was knowledge knowledge you feel me.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
I think it was the knowledge in the chip getting
myself a flie for my mom. But I'm almost for
certain it was a group called hip hop or Rap
on Facebook and I was going to watching movies doing.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
A little research about hip hop book today.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I did find a list that's similar, but they added
like two because they got nine elements and I thought
it was At first, I actually thought it was three
or four. But things change and people evolve in sodo systems,
and so has rapped cause people be the rappers, so right,
now we're gonna go over the nine according to who
(05:17):
is this?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Who is this?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Because I had two different lists. Fandom hip hop database,
that's what that was. That's fandom hip hop database. And
forgive me, but I have like two different lists, and
I think it was the fandom database that just broke
it down a little bit better. So that's the one
I'm gonna go with. They got their number one. Well, no, no, no, no, no,
(05:43):
let's go to number nine. Let's go to number nine.
It's not no, it don't really matter to order, because
this is the elements of hip hop.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So we can start off at number one, number of
number one.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
So their number one element for hip hop is break dance,
dunta dunt dunt dunk.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And I can't argue with that. Who can argue with that?
Who can argue with that?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
And say it started off with breakdancing, okay, okay? And
then number two, then the rappers, then the rappers, okay,
Then the rappers came out to play and started putting
lyrics there, and then number three was graffiti art, their
number four was DJing, their number five was be boxing.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I would think b boxing came before a rap. I
don't know, but I don't know, but number six they are.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
This is one reason why I chose this list because
they used the word street fashion. Street fashion. It was different.
The clothes that they was rocking was different. Especially on
the East Coasters. They was doing the bottom rockers. Some
of the birls had the bottom rockers on the motorcycle jackets.
They was coming out of the seventies going to the eighties,
(07:00):
and the dress was different. They was leaving the disco era,
going in the rap, going into like a different type
of culture that Malcolm X was saying that bebop, the
hip hop. It was leaving that one street gang culture
and it was going into something else because the rhythm
(07:20):
was different.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
They was leaving that disco.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
And then the Latins that was in the Bronx had
that mambo, and the Latino mambo was mixing with the
bars and the brothers that was coming from the South moving.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
To New York. Who want to argue?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
So when you got all these cultures in one place, clashing,
creativity starts to transpire right in them boroughs in the
New York areas.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You feel me.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
You got all these melting pots to cultures. So you
got all these games fighting some of them could dance.
Name one movie where the gang bangers at one point
or another for me minutes to society, the colors, they
wasn't partying at one point or another, dancing together, drinking together.
Name one squad then, ain't got a little dance. It's
something that they do when they go out, you know
(08:11):
what I'm saying. So they used to get They used
to instead of always knuckling it up, sometimes they would
dance it out. You know, we're gonna dance it out.
Who the better squad? They was doing it when I
got older as Saints in the Palace, all right. But
that was street fashion.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh there he is, there he is. Are you gonna
like this? I got here. I got a list of
the elements and hip hop, the non elements in hip hop.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah yeah, And I got it from mom fandom hip
hop data base. But the reason why I got it
is because I liked how they said not just fashion,
but they said street fashion. And just because just because
they walked through the door, I'm gonna start the list
all over again.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
All right.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
They said the first element was break dance, The second
element was rapping, The third element was graffiti arc, the
fourth was DJing, The fifth is beatboxing, six is street fashion,
seven is street language, eight is street knowledge, nine is
street entrepreneurship.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And that's from the Temple of hip Hop dot Com.
Now was from the Temple to hip Hop dot Com.
But the fourth core, the four core elements was breaking,
d Jying, graffiti, and MC all Right.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
The regular fandom list that they had was cool too,
But this episode right now, above all, what I want
to talk about is I already addressed that we're gonna
have a top ten rappers at twenty twenty five, and
we was gonna work our way to that. But I
enjoyed having a list so much that I went back
and got another one. I went back and got another one,
(09:58):
and in twenty this is twenty twenty twenty five. I
made sure that the date was present. It's twenty twenty
five Spotify Music Metrics, it's their metrics vault, and this
is the top ten most popular artist in twenty twenty
five according to Spotify. Now, I don't know necessarily they
tried to find what month, but I think this is
pretty much right now.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And I also has a special treat.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
I don't know, y'all want to wait if y'all want
to wait for me to just tell you now wait
for later, but accord I want to say is eas
According to Exclusive Songwriter Agreement, I also got the name
of the best selling rapper of all time right now
has of April twenty four, twenty twenty five. I got
the name of the guy you know, but right now
(10:45):
I want to go over because this is just to
tell y'all, skill ain't always what's.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Getting you scream and getting you streams and selling records.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Okay, skill In this list that we have, the number
one rapper might be a rapper who brought out some albums,
are just being assistant, depending on whatever standard we had,
But he may not be the he or she or
she or she may not be the best selling rapper
that's out. It's just the rapper according to us, is
the one that's been consistent, that's been cooming with bars,
(11:14):
that's just been sticking to that list, you know what
I'm saying. But right now, since they have a category,
I'm using Spotify as an example because they are credible.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
People actually listen to them.
Speaker 5 (11:28):

because these are seven digits, I'm counter all right, so

Speaker 5 (17:17):
I mean, this is the thing about Drizzy. He loses
every fight lyrically pretty much, but he still makes good music.
It's just that he got dominated by Kendrick everybody. He
always the only one he beat was Meek. Let's just
(17:38):
keep it real, right, And and you know, not saying
that meat don't eat when meat, when meat spent freestyle,

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Shouts out the stronger than ever by the way, I'm
itshed to got Is shout OUTPI.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Drill Lots Spighty, Right, I told him I'm getting him,
getting him. Get y' all ready for the top ten
because the whole station gonna be involved in that, and
were just walking through the process of wrap because I
acknowledge that music changes and it grows, so you know
on this show it's the Drill Lots Spidy Podcast shouts
out to Peter Parker and the Spidy.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
And shouts out to Marvel Comic because they made it.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Known if you got any interest in doing anything with them,
contracts with them. Just create the stuff and put it
out there. Put it out and if they like what
you got, they're gonna find you that They let that
be known. But right now, we just addressing rap and
for fun before it get real serious, because it's gonna
get deep when we get to talking about it.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I'm gonna go once again.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I'm gonna go over my little love list that I
found the elements for as far as the elements of
hip hop that I had, I got from the Temple
to hip hop dot com.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The first one was breakdance. Let's put it this way.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
The four core are breaking d Jane which breakdancing, breaking DJing,
and graffiti and mcn all.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Right, pop loocking ain't on there. Does that count as breakdancing?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I would say so, pop.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Locking and breakdancing.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Breakdance. So what was first?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Poplock or break dancing?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I had no idea, But if you talk about pop
in California, but.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
He went, that's one. That's the whole point in the conversation.
Break dancing. From this Temple of hip hop, break dancing
was number one. Rapping number two, Graffiti Arc number three,
which we still do tagging for DJ and five beat boxing.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And the reason why I.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Picked this list, like I said before, is because they
didn't just say fashion. They said street fashion, and that
was what I liked to show.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Like Fubu and rocker wear and came truck fit.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
In the eighties.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
When they were coming to the leaving the seventies, coming
to the eighties, they were still wearing the like the
motorcycle jackets.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Yeah, and the hats, the l COJ hacks and stuff
in the chain.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
They might have cowboy hats on and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
They was dressing was different because it was a bunch
of different coaches in what area. You have people coming
from down South moving to Harlem, and you have Puerto
Ricans and Dominicans being around the corner.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Then you might have some Irish people.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
So all of those styles was just forming it together,
you know, and now we got so much what's going
on now was inevitable. You see people coming out using
wrap to speak like Georgiana, the girl what's her name,
i'mnna smack that lake front to the lake front, look
want you anyway?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Number six with street fashion.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Number seven with street language, number eight with street knowledge
and number nine with street entrepreneurship.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Street all about making that gt A A who know
what that means for real?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
What it means total aloun grand total amounts GTA. I
thought it was get that asset, our grand theft auto
or grand theft ato.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
It means a lot of things these days. That's what
Easy meant when he said it.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
But tho, So those that list is for hip hop.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
That was denied.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
This is according to Temple of hip Hop dot com now,
and I also had one from fan Base, but I
chose that one because they had the street knowledge and
the street entrepreneurship.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So there was another one I had, but it's pretty
much the same thing. It's just in a different order.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
And what the other thing I had was most popular
artists and rap on Spotify according to Spotify Music Metrics.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
All right, so this is the algorithm and what they
are determined and not the people's choice.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Well, I say, if that's the people subscribing, then that's
the people. True, then that would be the people's choice.
They can't manipulate that. That's forty millions, millions and millions, true.
The numbers can't line when it well, yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Leverence can line.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
When you got botes and you got people making pages
on pages to make more people.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Their system has been cracking. That's why they were in
court for that. They've been cracking down. Those streams are
gonna be official streams for those artists, those those people
right there, those streams right there, them is botless streams.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Them is botless. But while we own this.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
What okay, y'all already the last the last thing we're
gonna speak on today, because we just picked up where
we left off, and then we're gonna close out after
this has of twenty twenty five, April of April twenty four,
twenty twenty five, This article, I think it's as it
goes back to May twenty twenty five. Oh, this is
(23:39):
chartmasters dot org and this is has of this has
of that month this year, this particular artist based on ESA.
I think ESA is exclusive songwriter agreement. I could be
dead ass wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I'm sorry. I tried to find it was so many
different meanings, but that was the closest.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
One into the case.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
The only thing I could find that we relate to
the case. Chartmasters dot Org. The best selling rapper of
all time. Is the hint is he's in the top ten.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
He's in that bottom list.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Of all time, Travis Scott of all time? You said

He's that's a hint, Little Wayne, He's that's a hint
of all time, of all time, best selling rapper of
all time.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
