This is the FCB Radio Network,Real Talk worldwide online at FCB radio dot
com. Turn it up the latestcelebrity news and gossips. It's tea time
with Row on the Outlage Radio show. So Yeah, to tea is actually

(00:29):
super hot today. So let mejust start off with the versus battle that
happened just yesterday the Atlanta rap legendsGucci Man and jeez Um. They not
only traded hits, but they alsoat times had intense verbal exchanges. The
two rappers have been involved in anongoing few dating back about fifteen years that

(00:52):
has included countless disrecords, fights betweenthe two rappers, entourages, and even
a murder charge against Gucci of whichhe acquitted in two thousand and six.
Um. Their their feuds started overoriginally the song So Icy and last night
they managed to make amends during thisbattle, and honestly like for them to

(01:19):
do something like that, I hopethat there's a new trend that starts as
far as squashing your beef and andnot trying to kill one another. I
even got um some some input fromsome of my followers on Instagram and even
on Snapchat of who they think wonand I mean personally. I started off

(01:46):
with with Gucci. I thought thathe was gonna win, but I was
won over by Jeezy because I feellike he was more humble. Not only
you know, did he play alot of good songs, but he was
humble and he's the one who lendedthe hand like let's make a mantens.
But everybody that voted on my Instagramdecided Geez was the winner. Okay,

(02:09):
okay, Dante, your thoughts onthe battle and who you thought one?
So I really really rock with bothof these dudes, and I thought it
was actually gonna go the opposite waythat it did. I thought Geez would,
who's now basically a politician, wouldcome in and try to play his

(02:31):
mainstream hits and Gucci would be playinghis trap music. Nope, Geez came
in playing all his trap classics.Gucci. His playlist was all over the
place, and so Jez Gez wonit. Geez won it. I I

(02:52):
was a little stunned. I don'tknow who made that playlist for Guch,
but they did. They failed him. Who are you more of a fan
of Geez orci? Dang, that'stough. That's tough, because I really
really rock with both of their music. Um, I don't know, I
don't know they it's one A,one B For me, I would probably

(03:15):
say, gun to my head,I have to choose. Give me Gooch.
But it's by I mean, it'sbarely barely. I've always been a
Jeezy fan, like I've never Iwas never crazy about GOOCHI but but Jeezy

(03:36):
like I've always liked Jesus um andAnd so let me ask you this real
quick, Dante, on a pointthat Robin made um earlier about them uh
ending their beef. Um, yourthoughts on that that that had to be
I mean, I would I wouldassume that they knew going in that that

(03:57):
would come up, and that wouldbe part of the conversation because it would
just be you would be stupid notto know that that was coming up at
some point. Um, your thoughton your thoughts on them actually being able
to move past? Uh? Whatwas a real It wasn't just a rap
beef like it was street beef.It was it was. It was a

(04:17):
real deal. So y'all y'all thoughtsabout them being able to move faster,
Yeah, it was definitely a realbeef. And I agree with you.
They had to have known something goingin that they were gonna try and squash
it the best that they could,because they performed so icy at the end.
Now, I would say that itis good for the culture, hopefully

(04:40):
that young people whose beefs are notthat serious can learn from people who who
we kind of all looked up toif we grew up in that era.
Um, I think it's it's goodon them. Um. Like we said,
we knew that they had to havesome sort of understanding, even though
it did get really tense when whenGooch he played truth all the way through.

(05:02):
But I would say the duality ofme says this is awesome and hopefully
it helps the next generation. Butthat couldn't have been me. Um on
both sides. M Jez sent peopleto rob and kill Gucci. If if
let's say Gucci didn't have a gunwith him for self defense that night when

(05:27):
he when when Jess people came totry to rob, he could be dead
right now and we wouldn't even havethis. So for me, you put
a price on my head fifteen years, ten days, a hundred years later,
if we both still alive, it'salways gonna be smoked. I understand

(05:49):
that man that would that would bereally hard to to let that beef go
for me, um as I wouldlike to think that my better angels would
win out right, and because atsome point, like it's not even about
them anymore, Like you have tolet that bitterness go for yourself because if

(06:11):
you don't begins to eat at you, Robin, what do you what do
you think would you would you havebeen able to squash a beef like that
that went that far? Um Iwould say it would be tough. It
would definitely take some years. Imean obviously it did for them, m

(06:31):
But I mean I might be ableto. I would say that I would
as far as trying to make peacein my own heart, in my own
mind, because at the end ofthe day, if you keep beefing on
anything, especially something so harsh asthat, you're gonna be bitter, you

(06:51):
know. And so like I've saidbefore or earlier, they can squash to
be but that doesn't mean that theyhave to be friends. That just means
that they can move forward with theirlife. Right. So what Jeez was
saying though, is he said,we came from in the street and we

(07:15):
what we've been through. I broughtyou here to show you the world we
are, the culture, what wecame through and what we've been through.
All these kids do and what theydo is because they saw us. So
he's trying to make a difference inthe youth. And I respect that.
Yeah, yeah, I respect thattoo. And I'll say this, we

(07:39):
have about a minute a halfler,but I'll say this, when you look
at um guys like that, andeven though I'm not I'm not a Gucci
fan, all like that, youdefinitely can't deny, you know, his
influence and his impact. And thesame thing with Jees, Like Geez was
one of the guys who started thistrap stuff in the first place, you

(08:01):
know what I mean. So,um, you know, these are two
very influential people who have a longrunning beef and and it got it got
real, you know what I mean, It got really real and they was
able to squash it. And Ithink that's a good example. And I
think part of it too is justalso with age and Dante. I give

(08:22):
you the last word on this.So I mean you look at like they're
they're in their forties now, I'massuming, right, I know, jeez,
is so the beef started like fifteenyears ago. I think sometimes it
gets to a certain point where thingshave went for so long. I know,
I've had like beefs with people thatwere that it went so long that

(08:45):
it just gets to a point whereyou're like, I don't even care anymore.
Like it's just like it's so longago that you start to feel petty
by even by even still harboring atcarrying that. So I give it last
word. Go ahead. Here's arhetorical question on that. Did those people
try to kill you? Did theydid they say ten thousand dollars for yeah,

(09:09):
something that I see what you say, they've I've I've got jumped and
stuff like that. But you knowit was never no gun play like ten
thousand like that had that dervo wearingit's embarrassing us. I got ten thousand
dollars for somebody to knock it,for somebody to take it up off his
head right now, that's a bonnyon your head. Yeah, that's that's

(09:31):
that's different. But like I said, the duality in me, I love
it for the culture. I mean, we just had we just talked about
on this show, King Vaughan passedaway senseless nonsense, a life going.
You know what I mean, livesjust were seeing it all the time.
In the rap game. Young rappersdid a lot of that. A lot
of those cats looked up to boththis could be an example so that like,

(09:58):
look, if they can get pastsomething that was that deep, then
hopefully you could put this little industrystuff aside. And even you know,
I mean, it's better this waythan for it to turn out to be
another Tupac and Biggie situation. Absolutelyabsolutely, and we lived through that.

(10:18):
That was that was very bad forthe culture. The the outcome of Tupac
and Biggie was very bad for theculture. So it's it's a good thing
that this, you know, wasable to happen the way it did.
