[00:00:27] Speaker B: Happy holidays. [00:00:28] Speaker A: Why do people say holidays? Is that, like, just because of Christmas and Thanksgiving, or is that including New Year? [00:00:34] Speaker B: Let's have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. [00:00:40] Speaker A: So TLC is defining what it is. [00:00:42] Speaker B: Absolutely. That's the best holiday song ever created. [00:00:44] Speaker A: I didn't even think. I gotta add that one to my FYI station. That's a fire one. Everybody do the Mariah, but nobody ever do the tlc. [00:00:53] Speaker B: TLC is the best one. I believe it's called Sleigh Ride. [00:00:56] Speaker A: Sleigh Ride, Yeah. They probably was on some other shit, though. [00:00:59] Speaker B: What you mean? [00:01:00] Speaker A: Like, you know, that's the TLC era with the condoms, ain't it? [00:01:03] Speaker B: You seen a video? It's a Christmas video. [00:01:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I know, but you would know better than me. [00:01:09] Speaker B: What you think they was talking about Sleigh Ride. Yeah. [00:01:12] Speaker A: They just want riding the sleigh like a real sleigh. [00:01:16] Speaker B: Or you think it's for something else? So you think that I gotta go. [00:01:20] Speaker A: Back and listen to the lyrics. [00:01:22] Speaker B: Okay. [00:01:23] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? I don't know if they made the Christmas song about that. I'm not gonna put that on them. [00:01:27] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a little crazy. [00:01:28] Speaker A: That's a little crazy. [00:01:29] Speaker B: That's a little crazy. [00:01:30] Speaker A: Shout out to tlc, though. Anything interesting in the week of Gina Views? You've been on the radio a lot, bro. [00:01:37] Speaker B: I've been doing too much. I cannot. You don't understand. I can't wait to turn my phone off. [00:01:42] Speaker A: Right. [00:01:43] Speaker B: Like, once we take this break. I can't wait. I've been doing radio all week. I've been doing family stuff, homegirl stuff. I haven't been sleeping every day. I've been going to sleep. So I've been to the strip club. [00:01:59] Speaker A: Okay. [00:02:00] Speaker B: I've been at the studio. I don't even know if I can tell y' all who album I heard, but it's about to come out. I think it come out next week. He'll come back and we're gonna do an interview with him. But, yeah, I done heard an album. I done seen some unreleased music videos. [00:02:17] Speaker A: Okay. [00:02:20] Speaker B: I've been at the Hookah Lounge. [00:02:21] Speaker A: Okay. [00:02:22] Speaker B: I haven't been going to sleep until like 4 or 5 o'. [00:02:25] Speaker A: Clock. [00:02:25] Speaker B: My body sore just because. Just because What? [00:02:29] Speaker A: Just on G.P. your body sore? [00:02:30] Speaker B: I don't know why my body sore. [00:02:31] Speaker A: Cause you ain't been working out? [00:02:33] Speaker B: No, I haven't been working out, but I think it was at night when I just. I had on. Cause I've been wearing heels and stuff when I've been outside. [00:02:39] Speaker A: You have been wearing heels? [00:02:40] Speaker B: I've been on some girl shit. [00:02:42] Speaker A: You've been on some super, super girl shit. Cause you like, you. When we went. I forgot. We went to the Hat Club. The Hat Club dinner and you popped out. I'm like, oh, she girl, you like. You been on some super. Like, I'm finna get cute and wear my heels and got my bag and. [00:02:55] Speaker B: You know, I'm a sweatpants connoisseur. But yeah, we went to the Hat Club thing. We went to Blast concert. [00:03:01] Speaker A: Blast concert. Was fired. [00:03:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:03:03] Speaker A: Did you. Okay, I remember we talked about this, but I don't think we. I don't think I shared this with you. The part where we treat the homies like they regular because Beano came out during the Blast show and people went fucking crazy. [00:03:18] Speaker B: Yes. [00:03:19] Speaker A: And I was just like, oh, Beano. And I'm thinking like, oh, the homie. And everybody's like, that's Beano Rodeau. Like, that's Beno Rudeot. And they rapping, they singing the lyrics and shit. I'm like, oh, the homies are really superstars. [00:03:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I think I was low key sleep too. On how much. Well, obviously if you from la, then, you know, like, we love a good blast. Be no link up. 2019 was an incredible year for when six tape dropped. Like, we burnt that motherfucker out. We burned six tape out. [00:03:51] Speaker A: Cause two. It was only supposed to be two. They had to give us a third one. [00:03:53] Speaker B: Exactly. And then Blast teased a fourth. A fourth one. So we might be getting another six tape. But when Bino came out, obviously I went with Lauren and Desiree. You know, we all grew up together like Beano. We all, you know, we got the same. Like, we a part of the same friend group. You know where it's at. But yeah, so when he came out, I was more excited to see how excited the crowd was versus me being excited to see Bino perform. I was happy to just see him come out. You could tell he was trying to catch up he was trying to catch up in the earpiece and stuff. And then I just like when he like, nah, we gotta perform something. Nah, we gotta perform something else. Oh, we gotta perform something else. But that was cool. Then we went to Mark Lux show, man. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Mark Lux. I can't say enough about how amazing Mark is, his presence. I think his, like, his music is good, but his performance is better than his music. And I don't know if that's a diss. Like, I don't think that's a diss. [00:04:54] Speaker B: But I think you could word it a little. [00:04:58] Speaker A: Okay. Not like his music is bad. His music. I really fuck with Mark Lux as an artist. Like, he's really dope to me. But seeing him perform the music is a better experience than just listening to it. Like seeing his passion and his aggression and like, and the way he move and the way he controlled the crowd. Like, Mark is one of them ones for real. [00:05:17] Speaker B: He do have crazy crowd control. [00:05:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:19] Speaker B: And just watching him perform, I'm like, dang, he's a star. This real star power right here now already. Obviously I'm a fan of Mark from like the pen, the lyrics to rapping and stuff. But seeing him get up there and like actually paint the picture and move around the outfit, everything, the atmosphere, everything was just freaking amazing. I loved even the little, the stage they had. It was like a Runway stage or whatever. But seeing him perform, I now low key. I don't want to hear any more Mark Lux music in my earphones, in my car. I want to see it live. [00:05:54] Speaker A: I want to see it. That's what I mean. See, you worded it like that. Yeah. [00:05:57] Speaker B: I only want to see him perform live. I don't want to consume no more of his music at home by myself. I need him there performing it. [00:06:03] Speaker A: So you know who else I felt like that about? And again, I don't mean this disrespectfully, but like when I, when I listen to tech9's music, like, oh, tech9 can rap his ass off. But seeing him perform, it is a different experience. And I think also, like, I mean, we lose our mind when we talk about GNX all year, but seeing that shit and they just concluded it over in Australia. But seeing him perform those songs is different than just listening to the record. [00:06:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:30] Speaker A: And I think that's the same energy. [00:06:31] Speaker B: But this is actually the first time I even felt like this about an artist. [00:06:35] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:06:35] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, I always talk about, I worked at Staples Center, I done seen a many of concerts and stuff. I done Seen a mini of like live performances. And I don't like concerts. Like, I don't like watching people perform and stuff. This is actually the first time that I felt this way in reverse with an artist where I only wanted. Like I said, I don't want to hear Mark's music on my own no more. He got to perform it for me. [00:06:57] Speaker A: He got to come to the house. If he drop a new record at 9 o', clock, he got to pull up. [00:07:01] Speaker B: Exactly. You got to come perform form this motherfucker for me. We also went to my dad. Happy sobriety Birthday to my dad. My dad celebrated 29 years of sobriety. No alcohol, no weed, no drugs, nothing. [00:07:17] Speaker A: That was really dope. And I'm glad. Thank you to you and your dad. Yeah. [00:07:22] Speaker B: Cause he invited you. [00:07:23] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I mean, you hit me. [00:07:24] Speaker B: He specially requested for you to come. He called me like, gina, you know, my thing. You still gonna give me that cake on Tuesday? So I said, yeah, Daddy, I'm gonna come. He said, well, can you give me a carrot cake? Mind you, you was there. They all shared the same cake. My daddy wanted his own cake. [00:07:38] Speaker A: His own cake. [00:07:39] Speaker B: Can you give me a carrot cake? And you think DJ Head could come? I said, head be busy, he be doing. He said, yeah, but Gina, like, I just really love everything he did for you and the way he support you. I just need him to come pull up. Like, I like that I fuck with Head, so. [00:07:53] Speaker A: Nah, I really, I ain't gonna lie. And I don't know, like, I wasn't gonna talk about it. Cause this is your personal stuff, but that was really. I'm really glad I went to that. Like, not because, oh, like I got to see everybody's testimony. But your dad was really like your dad. I could tell. Like, he really is proud of his accomplishment and he's really proud. He's really happy that he has a relationship with you and him wanting you specifically to be there and seeing it. Cause I remember when he would. The look on his face when we pulled up. He was like, oh, she my daughter here. And I was like, that's fucking dope. Like, I'm really glad that y' all get to have these moments and just being able to witness that was. And then also, like seeing the camaraderie around everybody who go to there go to those meetings in that facility. I'm like, damn, I need to do some. I need to do something. Like, I don't know how to get involved specifically. Maybe I'll reach out to them, but I want to do something to like support them people. Because hearing everybody's testimony, I forgot the dude's name. I said I was remembering his name to shout him out, but his testimony was insane. The one who went to jail and his daughter died. [00:08:56] Speaker B: Oh. So he, I forgot his name too. And I don't even wanna say the wrong name, but he had, he was celebrating five years of sobriety. [00:09:04] Speaker A: Five years of sobriety. [00:09:04] Speaker B: And he said, remember he said that his daughter was in foster care. And he said she was in foster care for 10 years and the last they last encounter she died at 16 years old. [00:09:18] Speaker A: He lost his aunt, his mom, his grandma and his uncle and then lost his daughter and then went to the pen that he was in for like 10 or something like that, came home and got clean. And I was like, bro, I'll still be on drugs. Going through all like, not to make a joke out of it, but like dealing with all of that, dealing with a lot. And I just, I don't know, I don't know how to support those people. Maybe if you watching this or listening to this, you know, let me know how I can support. [00:09:44] Speaker B: We're talking about Alcoholics Anonymous. [00:09:46] Speaker A: Yeah, like Alcoholics Anonymous. [00:09:49] Speaker B: Ah, shit. We wasn't even posted. Say their name. [00:09:51] Speaker A: Yeah, we can't say their name because it's Anonymous. Yeah, so that's good. [00:09:53] Speaker B: We didn't remember their names. [00:09:54] Speaker A: Violating the HIPAA laws and. But, but yeah, Alcoholics Anonymous, any kind of drug rehab programs and stuff like that. Like let us know in the comments, shoot us some resources. I would really love here in the LA area. I'm not getting on a flight, but I would really love to know like how I can get involved and support these causes because I think that that was really dope for me. Like it was like I'm complaining about taxes and like all kind of shit. And this person, I seen people in there with they kids like getting off work, coming in there with they kids, they holding their kid, they sleep dedicated and they like, no, I need to go to my meeting because this is keeping me on my track. And people was there for a week. People was there for three weeks, two months, six months. And then your dad was just 30, what? 30 years. [00:10:36] Speaker B: 29. [00:10:36] Speaker A: 29 years of sobriety. I think that needs to be celebrated. So that was super dope. [00:10:41] Speaker B: You know what had touched me too? Seeing the people that was in there young, that it was somebody in there that was celebrating. I want to say. Was it 30 days? It was like a 30 day one, then it was a 60 day 190 day. But they was all young and obviously we aren't. Well, you never dibbled and dabbled with anything. But I drink, I do my edibles and stuff like that, but I'm not addicted to it. It was blowing my mind seeing that we play too much with substance abuse. We play too much with it and stuff. And obviously, since I'm not abusing the it or whatever, but people being in there, being dedicated to not doing it anymore and then talking about their testimony. The guy that said that, remember he said that he got stabbed? [00:11:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:27] Speaker B: And he was outside the. He was outside the hospital. He was leaking in the paper, in the heart. [00:11:33] Speaker A: He got stabbed in the heart. And he was about to go to the. Into the. Into the error. And he was like, oh, I got this pipe on me. [00:11:41] Speaker B: I'm about to. I don't know how long I'm finna be in there. I need to take a hit in real. [00:11:45] Speaker A: His heart is pumping blood. [00:11:47] Speaker B: He said he had blood all in his lungs when he was trying to hit it then. I ain't gonna talk about the first nigga, bro. [00:11:52] Speaker A: Remember the first nigga when he said he did? Yeah, that shit was great. [00:11:58] Speaker B: We can't tell y' all about that. We gotta keep that story. But it was very, very touching testimonies up in there. And I was just like, damn. [00:12:07] Speaker A: It made me realize how small my problems are. [00:12:10] Speaker B: Right. [00:12:11] Speaker A: You know what I mean? I just felt really grateful. That's why, like, we was late to the other shit we supposed to do. And I was like, I'm not tripping. Like, I feel like I was supposed to be there. [00:12:20] Speaker B: I was surprised still seeing you sitting there as I'm texting you, like, hey, you can leave. [00:12:23] Speaker A: Don't worry about it. Whatever. [00:12:25] Speaker B: I look, every time I look, you was smiling. You was just, like, in awe. [00:12:28] Speaker A: Well, also, like, yo, I feel like, to me, okay, I'm be honest with you. I'm part of the boys and girls club, but I always go to schools and talk to kids and stuff like that. And there's been a couple of people. You met one of them who. I don't wanna say his name on the radio, but he came up here. Well, his name is Cash, and his mom sent him from Africa to come spend time out here with his people. And she's like, I want you to take my son and spend time with him. Now, mind you, they know me, but not, like, really, really well. But to me, it's an honor when a parent is willing to put their most prized possession in your. Like when you. I see you with the twins, with, you know, your best friend's kids, to me, that's a huge thing. Like. Cause I'm trusting you with my kid. There's nothing more important in somebody's life than they kid. And it's like you're. I'm taking your. I'm giving you my kid, and I trust you. I look at that. I take that shit serious. So when you're. When you was like, my dad wants you there, I'm like, I gotta honor that. I gotta be. I gotta pull up so that I wasn't there for everybody else. I was there for your dad. So until your dad was done is when I was gonna stay. But being. I'm glad that your dad went last. He was. He was the headliner, but your dad headline the meeting. But I'm glad that he went last because I was able to sit through all of that. And I think that's on some spiritual. I think that's what going back to our God conversation was. He got dragged for, but we was making a joke last week. But I think because of God, I think I was supposed to be there and see that and be in that energy and witness that. So that's why I stayed the whole time. Wasn't tripping. [00:14:01] Speaker B: But thank you, man. I've been going to them meetings since I was a child. [00:14:05] Speaker A: Really? [00:14:06] Speaker B: Yes. Sitting up in there for hours, listening to all these stories. I know the 12 steps by heart. [00:14:12] Speaker A: Really? [00:14:12] Speaker B: I know it by heart. [00:14:13] Speaker A: Damn. [00:14:14] Speaker B: Like, I've been. That's. I was sitting there. I'm like, I'm ready. Cause if it feel like to me, it felt like when I used to be in church for hours. [00:14:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, I gotta get up outta here. [00:14:23] Speaker B: That's what those feel like. But speaking of God. [00:14:26] Speaker A: Yeah, we. Yeah, I know. [00:14:28] Speaker B: I just bought the cutest Bible. [00:14:32] Speaker A: Only you. We face. Here we go. We finna get dragged again. Nate, it's over. [00:14:37] Speaker B: Yeah, but look. But. Okay, all right. [00:14:39] Speaker A: So the Post, this bitch talking about she got a cute Bible. [00:14:42] Speaker B: If you see it, you gonna be like, it is cute. It's pink. And it got. It was like, it's viral on TikTok, but. Cause you know, I still have my Bible from when I was baptized when I was 12 years old. So it got pictures in it. I've been still reading from a child's Bible. [00:14:57] Speaker A: You got a comic book? [00:14:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a Bible with pictures in it. [00:15:00] Speaker A: I remember they were selling the picture Bible when I was a kid. It was like $40 my mom was like, I'm not buying you that. [00:15:04] Speaker B: That's what I got. [00:15:04] Speaker A: You got the picture Bible? [00:15:05] Speaker B: I got the picture Bible. [00:15:06] Speaker A: You still have that? [00:15:07] Speaker B: I still read from the kid Bible. [00:15:09] Speaker A: Okay. [00:15:09] Speaker B: So I was like, I need a grown Bible. [00:15:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:11] Speaker B: Cause I'm grown auntie. [00:15:13] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:15:14] Speaker B: I got bills. I got adult bills. Like, I need an adult Bible. But it really showed me how much people do and don't know about the Bible and about the Word because, well, obviously the poll is 60, 40 right now. And if you didn't catch last week's episode, we talking about the clip that we just posted. The conversation is, would you rather have a conversation with God or 10 trillions of dollars? And I didn't realize that people didn't know that there is no conversation that you can have with Jesus or God because there are people in the Bible who didn't believe and they didn't have any faith in the Word and the Holy Spirit and they wanted to go against God's teachings. Right. So God tells you, you don't need to ask me any more additional questions. It's in the Bible. [00:16:10] Speaker A: It's in the book. [00:16:11] Speaker B: It's all in the Bible. There is no further conversations that you can have because it's all in the book. So why would you pick him? The conversation over the money, picking the conversation is actually going against the teachings. [00:16:27] Speaker A: Right. So one more thing. Go ahead, Go ahead. [00:16:30] Speaker B: And Jesus said, you cannot speak to God without going through me. [00:16:37] Speaker A: Yeah, you got to go through the plug. [00:16:39] Speaker B: That's actually against the teachings to go. [00:16:43] Speaker A: Against the plug, you know, so it's sacrilegious to say. [00:16:48] Speaker B: Yes. [00:16:49] Speaker A: That you finna talk to the man directly. [00:16:51] Speaker B: Yes. [00:16:51] Speaker A: Right. [00:16:52] Speaker B: And that's why I was even when we was talking about it, I was making a comparison of you picking something that you absolutely don't know if you'll able be. You'll absolutely be able to do or getting the money. Well, actually, two things are probably not obtainable, Right. Because you can't physically have a conversation with God or Jesus, but you probably will never see a trillion dollars in your life. So it's two things. It's two situations that are not realistic. But if you have faith in God, you know that one is coming. [00:17:24] Speaker A: One is coming. [00:17:25] Speaker B: But the trillion dollars, I'm obviously going to pick that one because I know that I'm going to get the other one, you know, So I was just. I'm like, oh, y' all don't. The people. That's. Y' all crazy. Y' all da Da, da, da. Oh, you don't know the word. [00:17:38] Speaker A: I don't expect people to know. And so, like, we embellishing on it. Cause it was funny. It was like, people that fuck with us and follow us, they like, oh, they always playing. But I'm like, bro, it's some real shit in there. You know what I mean? Like, it was actually some. I sent it to my spiritual advisor, and she hit. I'm actually. Let me see if I can read what she said. Cause she. She's like a super. She's the one, not the two. And I'll be talking to her. She's the one, not the two. And I sent it to her and I just. I just sent it to her with no context, no nothing. I just sent it to her like, hey, I want you to see this. And she responded with the best message ever. And it was like, damn, she really get me. And I really fuck with her. Like, I really love this lady for that. Damn, where's the message at? I want to play. I want to read it to you. Because she didn't take it offensively, right? I sent it to Miles Minick and his wife. [00:18:37] Speaker B: I seen him in the comments. [00:18:40] Speaker A: I sent it to Miles Minick and his wife. And the people who know us and the people who are actually know the Word and stuff, they was like, oh, I get it. Like, this is it. [00:18:49] Speaker B: Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Like, I can tell the people who did and didn't know the word. There are so many religious accounts right now in my DMs. [00:18:56] Speaker A: Really. [00:18:57] Speaker B: Thank you for representing. Thank you for. Yes. And stuff like that. Thank you for you did. Some people was hitting me up saying, this is the most west coast articulation I've ever heard of the Word. [00:19:09] Speaker A: My homegirl hit me and said, you know, y' all are doing evangelism. And I was like, really? She's like, yeah, y' all spreading the word through realistic context that people can actually understand and start to have dialogue about. That's evangelism. That's spreading the word. I was like, thank you. You get it. My spiritual advisor said, I had to watch this three times. I had a proud momma moment. You guys high key. Really know about the Trinity and all the things. And I safely assume that you know about truly represented, well done, very good, faithful servants. And I was like, damn, I fuck with that. [00:19:43] Speaker B: That's dope cussing after that is crazy. [00:19:45] Speaker A: She know, like, you know, she know what it is. You know, I'm God working on me. Hey, hey. [00:19:50] Speaker B: Hello. Man, it threw me off. I was a little. I got a little nervous when I seen Malice, I was like, when I see Malice and Malice, I was like, ooh, ooh. I'm just playing. I'm just playing. But no, that's why I'm like. When I was reading a comment, because it was people, like, it's absolutely anybody who picking money over da, da, da, da. You're crazy. Or y' all crazy. I'm like, oh, you don't know. You don't know that. Jesus said, everything is in a book. Look no further. [00:20:20] Speaker A: Yeah, it's coming. [00:20:21] Speaker B: You don't. You don't know that. [00:20:22] Speaker A: I'm getting my one on one anyway. [00:20:24] Speaker B: I'm getting it anyway. But that's why you have to have faith. What's the movie? Dang, I always forget the name of the movie with Denzel Washington. [00:20:32] Speaker A: Book of Eli. [00:20:33] Speaker B: Book of Eli. That whole movie. [00:20:36] Speaker A: Finding out he was blind. I found out he was blind, nigga. Five years after I saw the movie. I didn't know. [00:20:43] Speaker B: Head. [00:20:44] Speaker A: I didn't know. [00:20:45] Speaker B: So this is another thing that people don't know about. [00:20:47] Speaker A: I'm like, what? [00:20:49] Speaker B: I actually didn't know that he was blind until. So, okay, so the school I graduated, the college I graduated from is a Christian school. [00:20:56] Speaker A: Okay. [00:20:57] Speaker B: So I'm not just up here. [00:20:58] Speaker A: I didn't know that. Fun fact. [00:20:59] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't tell people that. I'm not just up here playing, but I got my bachelor's degree from a Christian school. So a lot of the assignments that we used to have to do were from the Bible or whatever, word writing essays and things like that. A lot of the. Like, the essay prompts were spiritual prompts. Right. I had to watch the movie for one of my assignments. And I didn't know he was blind until I think I failed a quiz. I, like, failed a quiz. But, you know, you watch a movie, you scrolling your page so you missed important moments and stuff. But one thing that I do remember from that movie is he kept encountering problem after problem after problem. [00:21:37] Speaker A: Yep. [00:21:37] Speaker B: He never lost his faith. [00:21:39] Speaker A: Never, bro. When he pulled up on them people, them cannibals, I was like, oh, I'm turning up. I'm going. I'm not feeling hell. [00:21:49] Speaker B: He never lost his face. [00:21:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:51] Speaker B: So that trillion dollars, that's a gift from God. Sound like a blessing to me. [00:21:56] Speaker A: Sound like a blessing to me. [00:21:57] Speaker B: Sound like a blessing to me. [00:21:59] Speaker A: Let me tell you. Hold on. So it's Christmas season. Do you have a. Do you want something for Christmas? [00:22:06] Speaker B: I Thought you was gonna buy me a gun. [00:22:08] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I did say that. All right, I'll do that. [00:22:11] Speaker B: You forgot that you thought that was content. Bro, I told you, I'm trying to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. [00:22:15] Speaker A: But the problem is I feel like. Let me talk to your dad. [00:22:19] Speaker B: Do not talk to my daddy. My daddy's strict. [00:22:23] Speaker A: I gotta talk to your dad before I buy you a firearm. [00:22:25] Speaker B: I'm grown. [00:22:27] Speaker A: I don't give a fuck about none of that. [00:22:28] Speaker B: The state said I could get it. [00:22:30] Speaker A: I don't give. [00:22:31] Speaker B: All right, all right. Ask my mama. [00:22:34] Speaker A: I'll take one or the other. That way she can absorb the blame for that. So I'll do that. Because I gotta figure out, like, I don't wanna be responsible. Cause you already, like, you know, be quick to crash out in the group, chat about some shit. Like, I'm not trying to be. [00:22:52] Speaker B: You think I'm gonna pistol whip somebody? [00:22:54] Speaker A: Yes, I might. Yes, I do. [00:22:58] Speaker B: Mommy. Hey, I have a question for you. [00:23:03] Speaker A: Tell her me on the air. [00:23:04] Speaker B: We on the radio. Hey, I got a question for you. I'm about to give him on the phone. [00:23:10] Speaker A: Hello. How you doing, sweetie? I'm good. How you doing tonight? Hey. [00:23:17] Speaker B: I always tell him to tell you hello. [00:23:19] Speaker A: Oh, man, I appreciate you so much. Well, you on the radio, so I just want to give you a heads up. So we were having a conversation about personal protection devices and firearms and whatnot, and I actually told Gina that I would buy her her first firearm, take her to the range, show her how to use it and stuff like that. But even though she's grown, she says that the state trumping them, made her. Recognizes her as an adult. I would like to confirm and get permission from you before I go ahead with my plan to buy her a firearm, but she knows I like guns, so. Oh, Lord. I didn't know your mama was the rubber band, man. [00:24:05] Speaker B: I was like, I get it from my mama. [00:24:08] Speaker A: Why is your mom ti. [00:24:09] Speaker B: I get it from my mama. [00:24:14] Speaker A: So you okay with it? [00:24:16] Speaker B: Yes. And especially what. [00:24:19] Speaker A: You're doing it responsibly. Okay. Okay. So I can get her a gun. So you like guns. So I was thinking about getting her a little.22, just so it's a little light, something she can handle. [00:24:31] Speaker B: You know, I'm only gonna use it if it's necessary. [00:24:35] Speaker A: I already know that. Okay, well, I'm not worried about her shooting nobody, but I don't want her just be riding around. She got the. She got the Gucci purse or the Chanel or the Goyard and She just, you know, pistol whipping people because, you know, they. You know, they said something about Roland on Twitter. Like I said, as long as it does the job. Okay? That's why she said to ask you. [00:25:04] Speaker B: He was gonna ask my daddy, Mommy. [00:25:06] Speaker A: I was gonna ask her dad because, you know, just on. Just on some G man code thing. But as long as I got permission from one of y', all, I'm cool with that. [00:25:17] Speaker B: It's all right with me, baby. [00:25:18] Speaker A: Like I said, as long as she knows what she's supposed to do with it, like, you know, doing it responsibly, that's cool. I like that. Okay. All right, well, what. We'll do it. We going. We're going to film it. We're going to go to the range and stuff. [00:25:29] Speaker B: There you go. All right. [00:25:31] Speaker A: Put it on tape, baby. Put everything on tape. All right. Thank you. Anything that can be taped, put it on tape. [00:25:38] Speaker B: Okay? You feel me? Okay. Bye, Mommy. All right, you guys have a blessed one. Okay? Love you. [00:25:51] Speaker A: All right, so I guess I'm on the hook for a.22. [00:25:53] Speaker B: Yep, we got the clip.

You been thinking about that shit since I said it. Yeah, okay. [00:26:06] Speaker B: I been thinking about going to the range. I been thinking about going to the range and everything. I can't wait to empty the clip. Hey, Daddy, you on the radio? You on the radio. [00:26:21] Speaker A: Okay. [00:26:22] Speaker B: You care if I get a gun? [00:26:25] Speaker A: Do I care if you get a gun? [00:26:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I can get a gun. I'm just head about to buy me a gun. But he wanted permission from you first. [00:26:34] Speaker A: What you need a gun for? [00:26:35] Speaker B: I'm gonna call you back, Daddy. To protect myself, you know. Come on. This is why. This is why I should call my mama. Daddy, you're not tripping, right? [00:26:48] Speaker A: I mean, if it's illegal and it's. [00:26:50] Speaker B: In your name. [00:26:53] Speaker A: It'S gonna be in the house. [00:26:55] Speaker B: Daddy. [00:26:56] Speaker A: As an adult female living by herself, sure, you should have a. You should have some type of protection besides me. Okay? [00:27:04] Speaker B: Okay.

What type of time nigga, can you fight? That was that. Okay, so normally. So, okay, you know what you getting? So the reason I brought this up and tell. I mean, this is some me shit. So you tell me what you think about this. [00:27:29] Speaker B: I already Know what it is? I just. I could guess. Cause you did some bullshit with your family last year. [00:27:35] Speaker A: So I'm gonna read you the message I sent. Right? [00:27:40] Speaker B: And. [00:27:42] Speaker A: Yeah. So this is the message I sent. Hey, family. You've been selected to receive a gift from me from the white man's Christmas. As you know, I don't do surprises, nor am I participating in the wrapping of something that you know you're already getting. I know, I know. I suck. Please send an Amazon link by end of day Monday of an item you'd like for the holiday so that my nigga Jeff can have it shipped directly to your house. It's too much technology out here for us to be driving around dropping things off like we're living amongst the dinosaurs. Appreciate you and your attention to this matter. Look forward to seeing you with your shit already in hand. West coast. [00:28:18] Speaker B: Ain'T no. I'm cool with it. [00:28:20] Speaker A: All right, bet. [00:28:21] Speaker B: See, you asked for the Amazon link. [00:28:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:25] Speaker B: And I'mma get it before you even pull up. Yeah, yeah. [00:28:29] Speaker A: So that's not crazy, right? [00:28:30] Speaker B: No. Okay, so now if you said that to some kids, what's the age group of this group chat? [00:28:36] Speaker A: I send it to the whole everybody. [00:28:37] Speaker B: How old is the youngest person in the chat? [00:28:41] Speaker A: Like I don't know, 20? [00:28:43] Speaker B: Yeah, that's fine. [00:28:44] Speaker A: So I can't tell a kid to go like 10, like if they 10 go put your little Roblox gift card in the Amazon card and send it to me or whatever. [00:28:52] Speaker B: Like, okay, I'm gonna say yes and no. So I'm the auntie. I'm not gonna tell my kids anything about all these make believe characters. [00:29:02] Speaker A: Me either. [00:29:03] Speaker B: I don't plan on lying and making Christmas real for them. If they find out at school about Santa Claus. They find out at school, I' ma tell them like Santa the homie. But I bought this though. [00:29:13] Speaker A: Yeah, this. This came from me. [00:29:14] Speaker B: Yeah, but we not staying up late baking cookies for a nigga that ain't pulling up, you feel me? Because that's what my parents used to do. You know, they still haven't told me that Santa Claus is fake. [00:29:27] Speaker A: So. [00:29:28] Speaker B: So I'm cool with that. But at the same time, since you're not the parents of those children, you kinda gotta keep up whatever traditions that the parents is having in their own household. [00:29:39] Speaker A: So if the parent, if you doing Chris, if you doing Santa Claus in your house, I gotta participate in that? [00:29:44] Speaker B: If you wanna buy my daughter something, you should wrap her gift. [00:29:48] Speaker A: Can't I just give it to you and you wrap It. [00:29:50] Speaker B: Yes. [00:29:50] Speaker A: Bet. Yeah, that's it then. [00:29:53] Speaker B: But what most friends or aunties, uncles and cousins and stuff do they ask the parent what's on their Christmas list? [00:29:59] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:30:00] Speaker B: So the parent in that situation actually, though, as like, if I had kids as my homie. If you was doing that, you kind of would make it easier. Cause you would take something, get something off the thing, and I can just wrap it and put. From Santa's friend, DJ Head. [00:30:14] Speaker A: Santa and. Or. Yeah, my mom used to do that. She used to be from Santa and. [00:30:17] Speaker B: Mom and mom and dad. That's how mine was. [00:30:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:20] Speaker B: Like, so all of y' all pitched. [00:30:21] Speaker A: In, but here's the cold. I'm gonna say something that I never said before. What? Nigga Jackie had me rapping my own gifts. [00:30:29] Speaker B: You want me to tell you something so cold? Let me tell you something so cold. My parents took me Christmas shopping. They took me Christmas shopping. I'm like, oh, I like this. So I'm just touching stuff, grabbing stuff, whatever. They distracted me. Now, as an adult, I know they was distracting me because I never seen them pay for nothing. I'm just picking up stuff, trying clothes on and stuff. I'm in there playing with toys and things like that. I get home. Well, not. I get home Christmas morning. I'm unwrapping my gifts. It's all the stuff that I was picking up off the shelves and touching and trying on and playing with. So I said, mommy, why does these say that Santa Claus. These are from Santa Claus. And they told me, because Santa Claus brought those gifts here. I said, but this is the same stuff that I saw at the store. No, Regina, no. I don't know what you're talking about. Santa Claus brought these gifts here. We didn't bring anything. We didn't pay for anything. We didn't touch anything. This is all from Santa Claus. So I said, okay, Mommy, why didn't hear you get up last night? Because we don't have a chimney. He walked through the front door. How he get up the stairs? [00:31:42] Speaker A: You asking logistical questions. [00:31:44] Speaker B: Yeah, I want to know. [00:31:46] Speaker A: No. My mom bought my shit. Bought the shit she knew I wanted. And she got tired of rapping gifts. So she called me in the room. She said, hey, I got stuff for your friends. My best friend Joshua, He's a little Mexican boy from next door. Jonathan. She was like, oh, that's for Joshua. That's for Jonathan. That's for Ishmael. Hold on. Then she would be like, which one you want to go? I'm like, oh, that one Be good. That one could be good for Joshua. She like, okay, wrap that and put Joshua's name on it. I'm wrapping the gifts. I write Joshua's name on it from Aaron. I put it in the bag. We go to my grandma house, we taking gifts out of the bag to put under the tree. We put it under the tree. I'm like, mom, can I take this next door to Joshua? No, not yet. No, not yet. No, not yet. We get to opening gifts, she like, yeah, that's all your stuff. Go ahead and open it. That's how Jackie did me. [00:32:34] Speaker B: So you already knew what was in the wrapping paper? [00:32:37] Speaker A: Yes, that's what she did to me. And n wonder why I can't compliment a woman. I know that ain't nothing to do with it. [00:32:46] Speaker B: That's a separate issue. [00:32:48] Speaker A: All right, so look, that's a separate issue. I don't fuck with the lying to kids. I'm not with that. If they your kids and you wanna lie to them, just leave me out of it. [00:32:58] Speaker B: Yeah, but this is the thing that I feel like our parents, they needed to do a better job of lying because a lot of the things, a lot of the lies were not realistic. I caught my mama eating Santa Claus cookies. So if I fell asleep, if I fell asleep on Christmas Eve, my parents would wake me up to come bake the cookies and make it a thing like wake up. You didn't bake Santa Claus no cookies. So I be a tired, you know, a kid. The kids sleep, sleep. Pitted kid. Different. [00:33:30] Speaker A: Yeah. You whooped. [00:33:31] Speaker B: I'm whooped. I'm dragging. I'm making the cookies and stuff. Put it real cute on the little Christmas plate. Pour the milk in a little cute festive mug. I went, I got up one night, went to go use the bathroom and I seen my mama eating the cookies. [00:33:46] Speaker A: They woke you up to make her cookies? [00:33:48] Speaker B: Did you know what she told me? [00:33:49] Speaker A: What? [00:33:50] Speaker B: Oh, he already had his. These are the ones he left. So I was just eating them. Cause I didn't want them to go to waste. [00:33:57] Speaker A: Yeah, they. Yeah, I don't. I'm not with it. [00:34:00] Speaker B: So one Christmas they forgot to eat the cookies. I told you what happened with the tooth fairy. So I lost my tooth. Cause I just, I never understood like the whole concept of any of these make believe characters. Right. So I lost my tooth. So I said, you know what? They been lying to me for so long. I know there's not nobody that's coming on. I know Tinkerbell is not coming to under my pillow, so. Cause Where's Tinkerbell getting the money from? Where's. She don't even have pockets. Like you expect me to believe that a fairy is flying through LA with a dollar under her wing? [00:34:38] Speaker A: No. [00:34:40] Speaker B: So I said, I'm not even gonna tell them that I lost this tooth. So when my tooth came out, I put it up under my pillow. My daddy had to come pick me up from school at my mom's house. So I blasted both of them. I said, hey, I lost my tooth last night and I didn't get no money. These motherfuckers start lying in real time. My daddy start patting his pockets freestyling. He said, oh, Gina, I forgot. The tooth fairy thought you was at my house. He only had a 20 on him. I know you wanted to give me a dollar. [00:35:09] Speaker A: Hell no. That dub. [00:35:11] Speaker B: Yeah, he gave me a dub. He only. He said, the tooth fairy thought you was at my house. And then he handed me $20 and I was stuck. Yeah, I was like 10 years old. [00:35:21] Speaker A: I would have shut up just for the dub. Even though I knew they was lying. A dub at 10 is. That's some money. You know what I'm saying? [00:35:28] Speaker B: That was a lot. So shout out to Joe Budden. Joe Budden. Did you see they got the commercials? [00:35:35] Speaker A: Yeah. I think it's dope that Joe is trying new things. Cause I know he's not really that guy. To try new things. I know Ian. Shout out to Ian Schwartzman and the whole team at the Joe Budden Network. But it's funny to see Joe like outside of his element. Cause he was sitting with Rolling Stone. I think he was with Rolling Stone. And then they had their first commercial for the Joe Budden Network and all of those shows and shit. And the trailer looked kind of like. It looked like the old school. Remember BET used to have like Hell Date and shit on there. It looked like them old trailers of like those old black shows on bet. But it's dope to see, man. [00:36:12] Speaker B: So before I actually saw the commercial, I saw somebody posted a picture like they were sitting in they living room watching espn. And then the commercial came on or whatever. But so then I seen a couple hours after that Joe Budden actually posted the trailer. Every single time that Joe Budden do something new, make a new milestone, a new accomplishment. Do something new for the channel. I get so freaking excited. He really. The goat. [00:36:36] Speaker A: Yeah. They've really carved out his own space when it comes to that. You know, I think what's interesting to me is that like, even when I went on there and we talked about it. Like, how he started and where he's at now is completely, completely different. [00:36:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:52] Speaker A: Because it was some bullshit when he first started. I ain't gonna lie. Like, he would just go live and not tell niggas. Like. Like, that's like me being live in here and the shit we be saying, like, off the air. Like, you ain't gonna tell us you live? [00:37:06] Speaker B: Oh, like his co host. [00:37:08] Speaker A: No, just random. Like, we. When we were on tour, he used to go live and we'd be on the tour bus and he wouldn't tell us he's live. [00:37:17] Speaker B: Like on IG Live. [00:37:17] Speaker A: Or like, it was something. It was ustream, I think, back in the day or something like that. But he was like, live. Like a streamer. He was like the first streamer. So he was streaming and didn't tell us. So we walk in just talking shit about niggas saying whatever we would like, and we all over the Internet. Yeah. [00:37:35] Speaker B: So y' all was content before content was content. Yeah. I don't know if he's intentionally doing this, but it seems like he's carving out the landscape of what the formula that podcasters should follow. And I don't know if he's like. I don't know if he's intentionally doing it, but what he's doing has to be studied. Like, if there is a formula or a specific way to follow somebody. I think that Joe Buddy is the one of one that you're supposed to follow because it's. I'm not thoroughly or too knowledgeable on potting and stuff like that. Cause he's the only POD I know if I'm keeping it real. I mean, outside of all the other ones. So I don't wanna misspeak right now, but to me, it seems like he's the only one that's doing it the way he's doing it, or he's like the. He's the trailblazer of this lane. [00:38:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Also, let's make a clear distinction between podcast and journalists. [00:38:35] Speaker B: Yeah, he. So he talked about that in his Rolling Loud. I mean, not Rolling Loud, his Rolling Stone interview. [00:38:39] Speaker A: Yeah. He was basically saying, like, I'm not a journalist. I'm the shit talker. [00:38:44] Speaker B: Yes. [00:38:44] Speaker A: And I appreciate him saying that. When I went on Rory and Mall, they said the same thing to me. Oh, yeah, we don't fact check over here. We. This. We shooting, like. And I'm just like, oh, so that's just a thing. Like, N is like, fuck the facts, nigga. This how we feel. [00:38:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:00] Speaker A: I appreciate People making that distinction for the last year, maybe and a half. The pinned tweet on my ex account is, I am a dj, not a journalist. [00:39:10] Speaker B: Not a journalist. [00:39:11] Speaker A: Because I respect journalists as a trade, as a craft. To me, it's just like a dj. It's just like an esthetician. It's a skill. It's a skill set. People get degrees in journalism. Like, I respect that as a whole thing. And I'm not going to disrespect it by just saying, yeah, I'm a journalist now. To me, that's not fair to say. I seen when Mano in his beef, he called old boy a journalist. I'm like, that nigga, not no journalist. That nigga's the same thing as everybody. He's a podcaster, he's a streamer, he's a shooter. He has journalistic qualities in which he has sources and stuff like that. Per Elliot Wilson, he told me that when you have sources, you fact check certain things. You get certain inside information. Those are journalistic type things. But to qualify the journalist, I don't think you would just be like, I'm a journalist today. I look at that like a surgeon or like a dentist or a doctor. I wouldn't go to a nigga that's just talking shit about medical stuff on a podcast and be like, hey, can you do this surgery for me? To me, it's the same thing. [00:40:11] Speaker B: Yeah, I was happy that he said that, but I think that the average viewer doesn't understand that. And this is how I feel about podcasts. I feel like the podcast space was created for the people who want to just shit talk versus the news is created for the actual journalist. [00:40:29] Speaker A: Yes. [00:40:30] Speaker B: And fun fact, I actually. So part of my degree is journalism. I took several journalist classes. In the process of getting my degree, I realized I didn't want to be. [00:40:44] Speaker A: A journalist in the middle of the process. [00:40:45] Speaker B: In the middle of it. [00:40:46] Speaker A: Same thing happened to me. I took some. When I was going to school for radio broadcasting, I took some journalism shit. So. [00:40:52] Speaker B: And it's mandatory for us to do that in even, like, getting a communications degree. And I realized I did one of my classes. One of the courses was a newspaper class. And I remember saying things like doing my own research on, like, certain prompts and things that we would have to work on. And my professor would be like, you have to cite your source. You have to, like. That's like one of the, you know, number one things. Citing your source, not being too opinionated. [00:41:20] Speaker A: Yep. [00:41:22] Speaker B: You cannot be biased. [00:41:23] Speaker A: Yep. [00:41:24] Speaker B: You cannot Report from an emotional point of view. It's literally. It's like if you ever talk to a lawyer, they don't give a fuck about how you feel. What can you prove? What's concrete, what happened? And in the midst of that, I realized I didn't want to do this. [00:41:37] Speaker A: Yep, just the facts. [00:41:38] Speaker B: Just the facts. I don't want to report on the facts. I want to have some personality. I want to give my input and things like that. So. So in the midst of that, I realized I didn't want to do it. But obviously it's mandatory for you to take all those courses or whatever. And I just think that people, I think they watch podcasts and then they expect for you to have. Obviously we're going to be professional, but they expect for you to have such a reportery type of. I don't even know what the right term is, but just be talking from like a reporter point of view versus an actual personality. And I think it's a difference between being a personality and being a journalist. These two worlds can merge over together, like somebody like a Charlamagne or Lauren LaRosa or whatever. But for the most part, most of us that sit on these mics, we playing. [00:42:28] Speaker A: Yeah, media. All media. All media is not journalists. [00:42:31] Speaker B: All media is not journalists. [00:42:32] Speaker A: No, because I look at Lauren as a journalist. I look at Mimi Brown as a journalist. Like, you know, these are people who have been Emmy nominated. [00:42:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:40] Speaker A: Like, that's not the same thing as what we do. I'm not even play with that. You know what I mean? That takes, like, real dedication to, like, they go out and talk to people. [00:42:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:50] Speaker A: Lauren went and set her ass in the court for half a year. I'm not doing that. [00:42:54] Speaker B: Lauren called the White House. Lauren, you called in the White House. [00:43:01] Speaker A: I'm not playing with them people. Angela Rye, the political pundits, those people are like different levels of. I don't look at me as what they do. You know what I mean? And I just. I always want to give that different. I always want to differentiate us from them. Because a lot of people watching don't know the difference. They think if we say, oh, Diddy got 50 years, they would just take that as fact and run with it. [00:43:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:24] Speaker A: Nobody would go look it up. Nobody will go fact check it. [00:43:27] Speaker B: But, hey, they even believe people that's on Twitter that they don't know who it is. If the tweet, I seen this post that said if a headline has a white background behind it with a picture underneath it, you niggas Gonna believe it. [00:43:39] Speaker A: That's true. [00:43:40] Speaker B: People don't even know how to go and make sure that they're reading a credible source. They don't even know how to find a cred. They don't even know what a credible source necessarily is. And that's one thing I learned with running oh boy, the social media pages or whatever. I always have to go find a credible source. Even when we talking about stuff, the first thing that we'll drop some shit in our note and we'll be like, wait, is this a credible source? And that's how I learned to use Google in the correct way. [00:44:08] Speaker A: So. Oh, go ahead. [00:44:09] Speaker B: If you search something on Google, you need to go hit the news tab. [00:44:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:13] Speaker B: Anybody up under there is recognized as a credible source. [00:44:18] Speaker A: So peep game. And this is. And I don't want to get too far in those wormhole, but we gonna, I'm gonna say this and we gonna move on. That's what makes this whole Warner Brothers thing so interesting. Because the Warner Brothers, you know, Netflix about to buy or trying to buy Warner Brothers as a whole studio. What's under Warner Brothers is cnn. And people are saying that that's why Trump is trying to block the sale to go to Netflix. Because whoever's. Whoever buys Warner would own cnn and he wants cnn and he is putting his crew together of his niggas trying to buy that shit on some other shit. And it's like that goes against what you just said because now you get to control the narrative. Like you own the news outlet that was once independent. That. [00:45:06] Speaker B: I think that's his goal, though. I think he wants to control the narrative. [00:45:10] Speaker A: Hell yeah. That's his goal. I mean, but. [00:45:12] Speaker B: But our president say a whole bunch of stuff that's not factual. [00:45:15] Speaker A: That's not true. Yeah, bro, people died. [00:45:17] Speaker B: Anyway, our president said if you drink bleach. If you drink bleach, Covid is you on the cure of COVID bro. [00:45:27] Speaker A: Listen, man. Hey, listen, listen, kids and everybody that's listening to this show, go do your own research on everything. Yeah, even the shit I said, people was dragging me because they said that I said that GNX was just made. It was some shit that it was like two weeks ago or last week when they was like, yo, gnx, Soundwave did an interview shout out to Soundwave, also him and muster Variety producers of the year, which is fire. [00:45:52] Speaker B: Congratulations. [00:45:54] Speaker A: Most people don't know Sound Wave did that Taylor Swift album, which is like. If you think about what Sound Wave does, like, no, that nigga's rage is Insane. But, yeah, Sound Wave producer got that. Got that. I do. He did the interview, and he was talking about how they did, like, over, like, 80 to 100 songs for GNX. It took a. They started right after Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. And then they were like, DJ Head said that GNX was made. I'm like, well, that was my interpretation of what I was being told. I shared it with y' all niggas. [00:46:26] Speaker B: Yeah, if. [00:46:26] Speaker A: If. Hey, if you don't. If he said if he have a different account, then that's. That's. He has a different account. That's cool. Like, Soundwave would know better than me. I'm going off of not secondhand information, but the information that's being given to me. And I'm not sharing all the information. Cause that ain't what I do. Yeah, that's the other nigga shit who do that. I'm not sharing everything that I know. [00:46:47] Speaker B: But anyway, I think, though, too, like how you just said may not call him a journalist. I think that the average viewer, they're looking at people with microphones in front of them and finding them to be credible. [00:46:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I can see. [00:46:59] Speaker B: Or looking. They looking. Since we're in media, we know that there's different genres in media. [00:47:05] Speaker A: There you go. I like that. [00:47:06] Speaker B: You get what I'm saying? [00:47:07] Speaker A: You cooking. [00:47:08] Speaker B: It's a media personality that could be a journalist. One is a dj, one is a radio broadcaster. All of these things are different. A podcaster and a radio broadcaster are two different things. [00:47:20] Speaker A: Two different things. [00:47:21] Speaker B: But we all got mics in front of us. [00:47:22] Speaker A: Yes. [00:47:23] Speaker B: Now, we do wear several different hats. But you have to know when you watching the show, don't come over here for the news. Come over here for the reaction. [00:47:33] Speaker A: For our interpretation of what's going on. [00:47:35] Speaker B: Yeah. You also have to have already. You have to be knowledgeable in pop culture before you can even watch us. Because we not gonna. I mean, we're gonna tell you what happened so that we could talk about it. [00:47:47] Speaker A: I'll give you a brief rundown of. [00:47:48] Speaker B: What happened, a brief little. Little tidbits. But we not here to report to you the facts of a situation. We're gonna react to what happened and go, you know, go back and forth on it. [00:47:58] Speaker A: I got a better idea for you. Go watch Lauren LaRosa before you come over here. [00:48:01] Speaker B: Yes. [00:48:03] Speaker A: Just. That'll knock everything out. That'll clear everything up. Go fuck with Mimi Brown and go fuck with Lauren LaRosa and then come fuck with us. [00:48:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:11] Speaker A: Yeah, that'll be Your process every Friday. You know what I'm saying? The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Go check it out. [00:48:17] Speaker B: Cause I. Hey, I'm telling you, I did the work. I don't want to do that. [00:48:22] Speaker A: Nah, I'm cool. [00:48:22] Speaker B: I don't want to do that. But so 50 Cent, this Diddy doc didn't have the timeline in shambles. [00:48:27] Speaker A: Yes. [00:48:28] Speaker B: And 50 just dropped another bombshell, bro. [00:48:31] Speaker A: I ain't going to lie. Like, it's hard to keep up with 50 because he got he beef with Ja Rule. That's forever. He got he beef with Diddy, which I was even wrong about that. I remember they was dragging me because I was like, didn't them niggas get along? I think you corrected me. I'm like, they did the I Get Money remix. They did the billion. Remember the Billion Dollar remix. It was Jay, 50 and Diddy. I thought they was cool. [00:48:59] Speaker B: Okay, So I don't think you all the way wrong, though, because I just came across a clip of them engaging with each other on mtv. Okay, so it's the interviewer is talking to diddy, and then 50 comes up. He interrupts it, and Diddy tell 50, like, back up. Like this my channel move. And then they going back and forth, and then they start. So at this point, 50 must already be established in television because. And do you remember 50 used to do those movies way, way, way, way, way before Power. This has to be like, probably like the late 2000, early 2000 and tens, but still between maybe 09 and probably 2012 in between that timeframe. I remember that's when he was producing those movies. So I'm assuming that this is around the time that this interview that I'm talking about takes place. But they real playful. They going back and forth and stuff, whatever. But I think the diff. What we was talking about, you correct me or juggle my memory, we was talking about people being friends. [00:50:01] Speaker A: Gotcha. [00:50:01] Speaker B: So they probably wasn't cool. [00:50:02] Speaker A: They wasn't. They were friends. [00:50:05] Speaker B: But now that we done watched his doc, we see how powerful Diddy was in the music industry during that time. So he probably did still have control to say, no, we gonna do this. We gonna. You get what I'm saying? [00:50:17] Speaker A: I just remember, like, control of that song. I remember when. Cause I think Funk flex broke that record. And I remember that song just taking over the world. I get Money. It was like, 50 is back. Because, you know, people wasn't fucking with him. His music. He felt whatever people thought, he fell off, whatever. So when I get money Dropped. And then they dropped that billion dollar. The billion dollar, like billionaire remix with Puff and Jay on it. It was like nobody was bigger than 50 at that time. [00:50:44] Speaker B: Yeah, but who else you put on there, though? [00:50:46] Speaker A: No, it was the right thing to do. It was a brilliant. It was brilliant because it's the three biggest moguls in New York. It was a thing. It was a moment in hip hop, in culture. I thought they were cool at that time. And beyond that, I didn't know that they was beefing till I didn't know that they was really beefing until 50. I think they started having a back and forth when 50 launched his liquor brand. [00:51:10] Speaker B: I can see that. [00:51:11] Speaker A: And Puff has Ciroc going and shit like that. And 50 started his thing. I think he had another one before effing vodka. And that's when I started seeing him. Cause he started calling it Puffy Juice. That's when I remember the back and forth starting. I didn't know this was like, he already didn't fuck with him. But when you go watch them old interviews, like the Breakfast Club interview, he was like, oh, no, it's gonna come. It's gonna come out like people gonna see what's up with him. [00:51:37] Speaker B: I have some street information that I don't know if I can share. [00:51:42] Speaker A: Cause I ain't sharing mine. [00:51:43] Speaker B: So we probably. We might be talking about the same thing, but there was a situation that happened between them. Between them. And that's when the discourse came about. I don't. The person who told me is not a public media in media or anything is somebody that's like super duper, like tapped in and actually from New York. So I don't know if I can. I don't even know if that was a. I assume that every conversation I have is off the record same, you know what I'm saying? So I don't even know if I can say that out loud. But there's a very serious situation that happened. And from what I just. From my own pov, it seems to me that they're both playing cool publicly. [00:52:25] Speaker A: Oh, because of this that happened. [00:52:28] Speaker B: Yeah. So it's like, like, you know what's up. [00:52:31] Speaker A: I know what's up. But we ain't finna do that because we both got chicken. [00:52:34] Speaker B: Exactly. Like, oh, yeah, that's my boy. Congratulations. Oh yeah. I took him shopping. You know what I'm saying? Like son and like lil boy and somebody like type of shit. [00:52:44] Speaker A: That makes more sense. [00:52:46] Speaker B: Yeah. So I don't think that their beef. Okay. I don't Think whatever this discourse that they have on a public knowledge level, it's not like they beefing like ja rule and 50 are. Yeah, it seems like 50 just want to, you know, just terrorize his nigga. [00:53:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Dethrone him, get him out the paint. [00:53:07] Speaker B: Exactly. But there's some behind the scenes stuff. [00:53:09] Speaker A: That did take place that makes a lot more sense. [00:53:11] Speaker B: But obviously the public doesn't know these things. So it seems like it's just all coming so like way left field or whatever. But no, it's. Some tea. [00:53:21] Speaker A: So Puff know why he on his ass like that? [00:53:24] Speaker B: Yes. [00:53:25] Speaker A: Got you. [00:53:25] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:53:26] Speaker A: And that's probably. That's all fif care about. Like, you know why I'm on your ass. Everybody. I don't care what everybody else say. Like, you know, it's. [00:53:34] Speaker B: I mean, honestly, if we being. If we be honest, we've dealt with things in the same manner. If somebody bring up or name drop somebody that we know, we don't fuck with, we play. [00:53:43] Speaker A: Oh yeah. [00:53:43] Speaker B: You seen me be fake for a whole year with a bitch. [00:53:45] Speaker A: Facts. [00:53:46] Speaker B: So, you know, like, we'll act like. Cause we not here to. We don't want nobody to lose out on no money. We don't want to, you know, fuck up nobody name or anything. So you can ask me if me and you beefing. Somebody asked me like, oh, what's up with, you know, hit? Oh, he's a great guy. Y' all should go over there and fuck with him. You know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like. So it's. I don't wanna call it fake, but it's just kinda. It's fronting a little bit like. But it's like me and, you know. So if somebody bring up a name of a motherfucker I don't fuck with and I'm on camera and I was like, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, they cool. Yeah. Da da da da. Them. Them mind games is gonna fuck with a nigga. Cause it's like, I know this bitch don't like me. [00:54:25] Speaker A: I remember when Adam22 reached out to me about something about. And he knew I don't fuck with him. And he wanted an official statement. I said, God bless him. [00:54:33] Speaker B: That's what I'm talking about. [00:54:35] Speaker A: That's my official statement. [00:54:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:36] Speaker A: And then I got asked again by some of the street homies. He was like, what's up with that boy? I said, God bless him. [00:54:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:43] Speaker A: And he was like, this stick is crazy. [00:54:45] Speaker B: That's exactly what I'm talking about. [00:54:46] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. God Bless him, you know what I'm saying? More power to him. Hope all is well. [00:54:52] Speaker B: 50 just dropped another bombshell. So apparently there is more footage that was not included in the documentary and there's some deleted scenes. So according to 50, Diddy at some point dated Tupac's ex girlfriend and had a baby by her. [00:55:19] Speaker A: They got footage. [00:55:21] Speaker B: I don't know what type of footage. I don't know if it's footage, a conversation. I don't know if it's an interview that was removed. I don't know. But 50 said is. He said due to. Due to time constraints, obviously they can only do four episodes. Whatever the duration was for per episode, they wasn't able to include certain things. And this bombshell is one of the things that wasn't included. Well, and then the Internet done went and did they research is that Dirty. [00:55:49] Speaker A: Mackin. [00:55:52] Speaker B: 50 is in TV right now. He's a producer. [00:55:55] Speaker A: He producing everything. Yeah, all of it is a production. [00:55:58] Speaker B: Exactly. But which one you acting as Dirty Mackin on? [00:56:00] Speaker A: Who in telling people that he used to fuck with this with old girl. [00:56:08] Speaker B: Dirty Mackin would be however you got my bitch. Not talking about the facts. [00:56:13] Speaker A: Oh, like just presenting the facts. [00:56:15] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:56:15] Speaker A: Got you. [00:56:16] Speaker B: Because the Internet, once 50 did that, the Internet went and did they own research. So they done put pictures together of the ex girlfriend and the baby mama. [00:56:25] Speaker A: Damn. [00:56:26] Speaker B: And none of us knew this. Now if you probably been around since back then, then you would know this. But I have seen both pictures with Diddy and her, Tupac and her. I never realized I was the same person. [00:56:41] Speaker A: I didn't. I didn't put that. I didn't know that either. [00:56:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I never knew it was the same person. So that. But I feel like if they would have just added that little tidbit into the first 10 minutes of the documentary, that would have made my point of view. Well, no. Cause we remember how we was talking about character profile and how they was building the profile that Diddy is a jealous person. Diddy goes after women who date men that he either idolizes or envies. And if you're dating a guy that I envy or idolize, then I'm gonna go, you know, after you. Tupac dating Tupac's ex right now would just been a crazy ass fucking room shaker. They call them room shakers. When you drop a bomb in battle rap. That would have been a broom shaker on that dot. [00:57:34] Speaker A: Right. [00:57:34] Speaker B: We needed that. So I predict that we might get a part six or seven or eight. [00:57:40] Speaker A: Oh, for real. [00:57:41] Speaker B: I think we Gonna get some more. [00:57:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I can see that. [00:57:44] Speaker B: Because what else did they remove? [00:57:46] Speaker A: I can see that. I can see that for sure. I think Fif is not nowhere near done with this. No, I don't think he having way too much fun. We need and on the side, beefing with Marlon Wayans, but. [00:57:57] Speaker B: And I'm so lost with that beef. [00:58:00] Speaker A: So the other thing too is Ja Rule has put his two cents in, right? [00:58:04] Speaker B: He put more than two cents. [00:58:06] Speaker A: Yeah, he wrote a whole. [00:58:07] Speaker B: He put 50 cents. [00:58:08] Speaker A: He wrote a whole essay on X. [00:58:12] Speaker B: I think he chatgpt that too. [00:58:13] Speaker A: You think so? [00:58:14] Speaker B: That shit too long. [00:58:16] Speaker A: He wrote a whole essay on X. The one that I like though is. Well, not that I like, but the one that I'mma read. It says, niggas are always telling on somebody old dry, snitch ass nigga. And then it's a hashtag. It says S Y, B A U. And now I know what that mean. [00:58:34] Speaker B: What is it? [00:58:35] Speaker A: Shut your bitch ass up. [00:58:36] Speaker B: Oh. [00:58:39] Speaker A: But to me, that stood out. [00:58:40] Speaker B: To me, I need to shut your bitch ass up, buddy. [00:58:42] Speaker A: To me that's funny as hell though, because Ja Rule gotta be close to 50 years old at this point and for him to still be using those like how we use them. And I remember, like, even my young homies, they use like, to me, that's like hip hop, keep you young. [00:58:59] Speaker B: Now, I don't know if it's the algorithm. And that's why I keep seeing Ja Rule on my time. Cause I don't follow Ja Rule on Twitter, but I keep seeing him on my timeline. Has Ja Ru always tweeted this much? No, he hasn't. Right? Okay. [00:59:13] Speaker A: Nah, he active as shit. He active because ol boy is active. And it just. It's a lot going on. I ain't gonna touch on the Marlon Wayans thing. Cause I have no idea. Like they at this point, they just making fun of each other on Instagram. Like it's not really like a thing. [00:59:27] Speaker B: I do wanna add though, that I saw. Cause a lot of people think. Think that Ja Rule is defending Diddy. And he did make a post saying that I don't wish anything, but basically, basically he just said, I'm here for the victims. You know, whatever Diddy did, he deserve this. I'm only talking about 50 Cent. Like he didn't want people to think that he was defending. That he was defending Diddy or anything like that. [00:59:53] Speaker A: I saw Marlon Wayans post something similar to that. He posted a video saying the same thing. He's like, bro, I'm not on no victim. Shit. I'm on him. [00:59:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. But what I'm kind of confused about, though, is, like, are y'. [01:00:04] Speaker A: All. [01:00:04] Speaker B: Is it an issue? Because it's 50 Cent that did the dot. [01:00:10] Speaker A: Well, I mean, Ja Rule could post that he bought a horse ranch, and 50's gonna make fun of it. Yeah, that's just what they do. [01:00:19] Speaker B: Well, I'm not talking about Ja Rule specifically, but just the whole narrative that he's trying to tear down a black. [01:00:25] Speaker A: Man who's trying to tear. Oh, 50's trying to tear down black men. [01:00:28] Speaker B: Nah, I don't like that narrative. [01:00:31] Speaker A: No. Puff could be Mexican, white. He'd be on his ass the same way. [01:00:35] Speaker B: Right? [01:00:36] Speaker A: 50 is an indiscriminate petty. He don't care. You could be purple, blue nigga, gay, straight, he don't give a fuck. [01:00:42] Speaker B: Cause that's why I'm like, what's wrong with telling the story? Like, this is what happened. And we saw. Well, not saw, but from reports, a large portion of this played out in court. [01:00:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:00:52] Speaker B: And so it's all public knowledge to. [01:00:54] Speaker A: Me, again, it's just. I mean, we can move past it, but to me, it's insane to document yourself thinking that you was gonna get a guaranteed dub. That's crazy maniacal to me. I mean, not maniacal like one of them big words. Well, it's a megalomaniac, but, yeah. [01:01:15] Speaker B: Okay, what you think about saying that he's the best rapper in Compton? From Compton. [01:01:22] Speaker A: I don't necessarily think that he is one of the best, for sure, but. And people try and take it as, like, a direct shot at Dot. I don't think. I think both of them cut from the same kind of energy when it come to competitiveness. If he was dissing Dot, he would. [01:01:34] Speaker B: Just diss Dot for whatever reason. I don't know what. Cause people did think that he dissed him on the Gangster Grylls project. [01:01:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it's just wordplay. Like, I didn't take it as a diss like that, but I do know, like, Game is not running from no. You know, like, confrontation or no conversation. But neither is doc, you know what I'm saying? [01:01:54] Speaker B: If I just think about the pattern, like the last few things, reports that have came out in relation to both Kendrick and Game. First it was people were saying that he was lying about saying that he wanted to sign Kendrick back in the day. Now it's. Oh, on the Gangsta Grylls project, he took shots at him. Cause he even mentioned on there that he Talked to Drake, but he like, I'm cool with both of them. Why I can't be cool with both of them? Which is. That's something that I've been wanting to, like, why I can't be a fan of both of them for whatever reason. Both fan bases do not want nobody that's on the fence. [01:02:26] Speaker A: Correct. [01:02:26] Speaker B: You gotta pick a side. But so now him saying that I'm the best rapper out of Compton. People is running with that because he said, it's not nobody that can outrap me. Game Pin is crazy. [01:02:37] Speaker A: Crazy. [01:02:38] Speaker B: And Game can rap. [01:02:39] Speaker A: Rap. [01:02:40] Speaker B: If he not number one, he ain't number three. [01:02:45] Speaker A: He top two in Compton for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. [01:02:48] Speaker B: But Game lyric and rapping wise, he's top five west coast rapping. [01:02:55] Speaker A: I agree, like, Game is not. I've been on record as saying that, like, Game is one of my favorites to ever do it. Like, as far as, like, his ability to rap. I think I said this when. [01:03:11] Speaker B: I. [01:03:11] Speaker A: Remember when it was. But there was something that he, you know, he do them freestyles like crazy. He used to drop them all the time. Kind of like how Wale did this last run, Game would normally do a flood of freestyles. [01:03:23] Speaker B: Red rose, White Ceiling. [01:03:24] Speaker A: Not the red rose. [01:03:28] Speaker B: Red rose, white ceiling. [01:03:31] Speaker A: Let me think. Gina Views. Let me see. When I holla at Gina Views. I'd be in a red rose box. [01:03:40] Speaker B: You wanna hear some fresh shit? I got you. Shit. [01:03:42] Speaker A: I got you. [01:03:43] Speaker B: What was I doing today? I pulled up in a red rose, white. Silly. [01:03:49] Speaker A: Nah, just. No, but, like, I forgot, but he used to flood us with the freestyles. And I think that's where I fell in love with Game. In fact, fun fact, one of the main reasons I wanted to be on the radio is. Cause in 2003, I think was when the documentary came out. I was listening to Game and Felly fell on the radio all day. Game pulled up to the radio station and they were just on the radio all day. [01:04:16] Speaker B: What year is this? [01:04:17] Speaker A: 2003. I think that's when Documentary came out. [01:04:20] Speaker B: Damn. [01:04:20] Speaker A: They were just on the radio all day. It was just him and Felly fell just. They was up there just taking calls. Game was freestyling. I'm like, I want to do that. [01:04:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:04:29] Speaker A: Like, that's fucking dope. And obviously Big Boy and Sway and Charlotte, like, all these people played a role in my. In me wanting. DJ Dents played a role in me wanting to do this. But I remember that moment being one of them moments for me, like, Steve Harvey, too. But I Was like, oh, I want to do that. Like, I want to have dope artists come to the station and I want to sit with them and have really dope conversation. I want people to be hitting us up. I want to be talking to the city, but I want them to be fire artists. And hearing Game, they was coming in and out of raps and freestyles, and he was playing music off the album. And I was like, damn, this is one of them hip hop moments for me. So Game is cemented in my mind as one of the best lyricists that I ever heard because of those moments. Like that when he went to the east coast and was freestyling on Hot 97. I remember all that shit because we had to go download it on the Internet. I edited 300 bars myself. I ain't ever talked about this before. When I was doing radio, I was taking my radio classes in Cerritos. I literally wanted to play 300 bars. But so Cerritos college radio station is simulcasted, meaning it's on the Internet as a stream. Stream, like a podcast for the kids who don't know. But it's also. They have a Signal. It's on 1700am you can only play clean music on a radio. So they was like, you can only play it if it's clean. Gang didn't drop no clean version of 300 bar. [01:05:58] Speaker B: So you had to edit it to make it clean. [01:05:59] Speaker A: I sat in Cool Edit Pro, which is now known as Adobe Audition, and I reversed every curse word, every nigga, myself. And I played 300 bars on the radio because I just really wanted to play. It took me like three hours to edit that. It was 15 minutes song. I edited it myself because Game is one of the dopest rappers I ever heard. [01:06:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:06:20] Speaker A: And I really wanted to. Those are one of. Those are like radio moments to me. So, like, yeah, Game is one of them ones for me. Is he one out of Compton? I would have to put him at two. Just on some. Not even on some biased shit, but literally just because I think from a lyrical standpoint, yeah, Game is like. He teeters that spot. But when you talking about artists or. I don't know if he said MC or if he said rapper. [01:06:44] Speaker B: He said, can't nobody out. Wrap me out. [01:06:46] Speaker A: Wrap him. See, now that's a technicality that I don't. I don't be honest. I don't. I'm a play ignorant. I don't know enough. I'm not one of the people who just want to jump out here with an opinion I don't know enough about the mechanics of how people put words together. Like, coming from battle rap community, you would probably know better than me. But because you're entrenched in that culture and Game is a student of that shit, that's like me saying he's the best battle rapper. I don't know what they have to do. I want to know the intricacies of what you critique to say somebody's the best rapper or can nobody out rap this person? Now, from an artist standpoint, it's Dot. From a rapping standpoint, Game is one of them niggas for sure. [01:07:27] Speaker B: All I'm saying is if we was on Smack stage, URL In Game, Kendrick, and West side Boogie is up there, that'd be hard. Battling. [01:07:48] Speaker A: That shit'll be hard, actually. [01:07:49] Speaker B: Dang, it's gonna be close. [01:07:52] Speaker A: That should've be hard. [01:07:53] Speaker B: It'll be real. It'd be a good fight. [01:07:56] Speaker A: You know who was. Hold on. Okay, who else? Never mind. [01:08:00] Speaker B: Say. Just say it. You can't do that to the people. [01:08:02] Speaker A: Okay, so I used to go to this place called as a battle rap called the Pit. [01:08:06] Speaker B: Yep. [01:08:07] Speaker A: And Compton. AV Used to be running that shit up there like it was him. It was Watts Sticks who used to host it pretty much. And Jag, but Jag not from Compton. I don't know if you know, I forgot what he changed his name to, but it was Jag and Compton. AV and those two niggas at that. It was called the Pit, and it was like a West coast, like, Fight Club type shit. That was amazing to me. And AV Comes from the battle rap world. Not saying that he would outrap these niggas or whatnot, whatever. Whatever. But I remember specific art, and I remember it was two more artists that was from Compton that used to get up there and destroy shit when it came to that battle rap shit. So I don't know. I think we should add maybe two or three people to that stage. Who I would add, are we just doing Compton? [01:08:59] Speaker B: Yes. [01:09:03] Speaker A: Those are. Those are a good three. Because I don't think that AV Is in that world no more like that. And I don't want to misspeak, but. [01:09:10] Speaker B: The people we talking about, not in our world, so. [01:09:12] Speaker A: Yeah, but no, but I'm saying. Well, you right, you right. But neither. No, that's not true. Dot just battled. [01:09:18] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying. [01:09:19] Speaker A: Game picked a fight with Eminem on his last rollout. You know what I'm saying? He want to rap. Boog is not really like Tripping, like, he making. He doing whatever he's doing. Like, he not really battling or picking, like, picking on, like, saying he not puffing his chest out. [01:09:33] Speaker B: He's rapping, though. [01:09:34] Speaker A: Yeah. But I don't think he's, like, presenting himself like I want. I'm welcoming all that. [01:09:38] Speaker B: But stop thinking about it like that. I'm just saying lyrically. [01:09:40] Speaker A: Oh. Just lyrics rapping. Oh. [01:09:43] Speaker B: Not dissing each other. Not. None of that. Just niggas that know how to rap. None of the people. Neither of them three that I named, none of them is below average. [01:09:54] Speaker A: No. [01:09:54] Speaker B: They're outperforming themselves. Every time they rap. [01:10:00] Speaker A: I know it's somebody I'm missing. It's gonna be obvious, and I'm gonna get text messages and shit. I'll think about it in a second. [01:10:09] Speaker B: But, I mean, he not too far off saying that he, you know, now he's saying nobody can outwrap him. I don't know. Cause I think that all three of them can outwrap each other, depending on. [01:10:20] Speaker A: What the scenario is. [01:10:21] Speaker B: Depending on what the scenario is, what the beat is, you know, maybe even subject matter. [01:10:27] Speaker A: Right, right. [01:10:28] Speaker B: You know, But I think that y' all can let us know in the comments who's somebody else that would be. [01:10:32] Speaker A: A good contender, a good fourth for. [01:10:34] Speaker B: That in this environment. Yeah. [01:10:36] Speaker A: So we talking about just lyrics, just bars. [01:10:38] Speaker B: Yes. That actually could correct with them. Cause a lot of niggas leave boogie out the conversation. [01:10:43] Speaker A: They always do. [01:10:44] Speaker B: They leave boogie out the conversation. And he wanted them. [01:10:47] Speaker A: Speaking of game, the project dropped with the gangster grills with him and Drama. Every movie needs a trailer. I listened to it. I ran it back again today just so. Just to pick up stuff. And I caught one. I caught two things. One, the record that I'm actually playing on the radio is called Rotation. That's with him and Jeremiah. Here go Jeremiah again with his fucking amazing ass. Pause that. [01:11:12] Speaker B: Motherfucking Rotation. [01:11:13] Speaker A: You fuck with that? [01:11:15] Speaker B: What'd he say? I am not like your last nigga. I'm paying for them lashes. [01:11:19] Speaker A: Yeah, he did. [01:11:20] Speaker B: He said record everything, put it all in your close friends. Tell the group chat I bought you a burking. He talking that shit. [01:11:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Shout out to them rich N. I. [01:11:28] Speaker B: Think I know we was about to talk about gangster girls, but I just think that Jeremiah, Jeremiah, Jeremiah. [01:11:36] Speaker A: You always fuck his name up. Lil Wayne. [01:11:38] Speaker B: What's Lil Wayne name? [01:11:39] Speaker A: It's Lil Wayne. You say Lil Wayne. [01:11:42] Speaker B: Fuck you. [01:11:43] Speaker A: I'm just saying, like. [01:11:45] Speaker B: Okay, my bad for pronouncing the full little. Yeah, but yeah, we. Jeremiah low key needs to get like. [01:11:58] Speaker A: I want Jeremiah to pull up if, you know, he gotta come through. [01:12:02] Speaker B: I just seen him at the. At third base. [01:12:05] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. [01:12:07] Speaker B: That's when I was outside, if you know who I'm talking about. I'm Maddie. But he need to be in like the hall of fame for starter packs, for rapper starter packs. Because who else are you going to for the girl song right now? Right now? [01:12:25] Speaker A: Oh, right now. [01:12:25] Speaker B: 20, 25. Who else you going to? [01:12:27] Speaker A: You gotta go Jeremiah, Leon, Thomas, Ty. That's about what I could think of right off the top of my head. [01:12:33] Speaker B: And they not going to ty no more as much. [01:12:35] Speaker A: Yeah, well, Leon is Ty. Basically Leon assigned to Tyler. [01:12:40] Speaker B: I been on the radio all week and Jeremiah is there a lot. Yeah, he's on a lot of songs. Yeah, Jeremiah's on a lot of people albums. [01:12:50] Speaker A: Yep. [01:12:50] Speaker B: He's the starter pack for getting. We need the girl song. You gotta call Jeremiah. [01:12:54] Speaker A: I think Jeremiah, though. I think like last time I saw his quote unquote workflow, I guess you could say is like, he cut hella records and then they just kinda like place him like, oh, so and so need a record. He be like, okay, you know, this might fit, you know, whatever. Like that's kind of how it works in the music business nowadays. Like when you shop in a record, quote unquote, it'll be like Jeremiah laid the hook. All you gotta do is your part. [01:13:18] Speaker B: He own G herbo album, he own PZ album. He owned his Gangsta Grylls. [01:13:25] Speaker A: It's three more that I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think he did a song with. He's on a song with Moneybagg, Yo. He got a song with Damn, I can't think of it. And we playing one of them records too. [01:13:42] Speaker B: Is Jeremiah one of the most consistent artists, I think, of this culture? [01:13:47] Speaker A: I wouldn't say he's the most consistent. [01:13:49] Speaker B: I'm sorry, not culture. This era. [01:13:50] Speaker A: I would say he in his lane. Yes, 100%. It's him and Hitmaker. [01:13:56] Speaker B: And they basically a care package, right? [01:13:59] Speaker A: Hit maker. Do the beat. [01:14:00] Speaker B: Yeah, Jeremiah. [01:14:01] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the other thing that stood out to me on the Gangster Grills project is on Head of State on the song Head of State where he's talked about. He's basically talking about, if I was president for the day, I would do this. I was president for the day, I would do that. So I'm thinking to myself, damn, if I was president for one day. Like you get one day and then Trump get it back. What would you do? [01:14:25] Speaker B: Make it to where Trump can't get it back. [01:14:27] Speaker A: Okay, that's like ask for more wishes. [01:14:28] Speaker B: But Trump said he running for in 2028. I know you saw that. [01:14:33] Speaker A: I know he said that years ago though. [01:14:36] Speaker B: And he's back. He can't. [01:14:39] Speaker A: Hey, he doing whatever the fuck he wanted to do. [01:14:42] Speaker B: He doing what he want to do. I low key believe him. [01:14:44] Speaker A: Yeah, he's for sure gonna try to. [01:14:46] Speaker B: Run, but he might make it to where nobody else can run. So you gotta pick me. [01:14:51] Speaker A: He already setting up for that. That's what the whole Prop 50 and all that stuff was about. But if Gina Viewes was president for one day, you can't vote him out. You knew that Trump was gonna get it back tomorrow. I mean the day after. So tomorrow you President for one day, you get 24 hours. What's like, first thing you do? [01:15:09] Speaker B: The first thing I'm gonna do is, well, I just need to be governor. [01:15:13] Speaker A: If we being real. [01:15:14] Speaker B: Cause I just wanna drop the rent if I gotta go back to my regular life Tomorrow. Yeah, I'm going to go. I'm going to Gavin Newsom's office. [01:15:23] Speaker A: Okay. [01:15:24] Speaker B: And we gonna drop the rent to income based. [01:15:28] Speaker A: Oh, income based rent. [01:15:29] Speaker B: Mm. [01:15:29] Speaker A: What about the people who own the properties? [01:15:31] Speaker B: That's not my problem. They could figure that out. When Trump come back, they could figure that out. I'm raising. Oh, I can only do one thing. [01:15:44] Speaker A: No, you got two, three things. [01:15:45] Speaker B: Oh, okay. I will raise minimum wage and lower the cost of living. [01:15:50] Speaker A: Okay, I like that. That's simple. [01:15:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:53] Speaker A: Okay. Anything that just is selfish that you. [01:15:55] Speaker B: Would do something selfish. I might give me a street. [01:15:59] Speaker A: Might name a street of yourself over there in the neighborhood. [01:16:01] Speaker B: I might get like a street or like a building or something like that. [01:16:05] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, Trump doing that too. [01:16:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I might do something. [01:16:07] Speaker A: That nigga said he wanted to. He was like, yeah, I should just name the stadium after me. Yeah, Trump Stadium. [01:16:11] Speaker B: I think I take. [01:16:12] Speaker A: Excuse me, nigga. [01:16:13] Speaker B: Like I think I take the form. [01:16:15] Speaker A: Oh, so what would it be? Gina. [01:16:17] Speaker B: Gina. [01:16:24] Speaker A: What the fuck are you talking about? Are you going to the Gina tonight? [01:16:28] Speaker B: Yeah, we about to go to the Gina. It's cracking up there. [01:16:31] Speaker A: It need to be a better name. [01:16:33] Speaker B: And I put my face all over it. [01:16:35] Speaker A: Like them pictures in your house. Yep. [01:16:38] Speaker B: I be all over it. I might get a. I might do something to where I get like a billboard that's just there for 10 years and it just keep changing with stuff with me. I might do something like that. I might go get a jersey of myself hung up in the Staples Center. I might do some shit like that. Like give me a jersey and retire it. [01:17:03] Speaker A: For what? [01:17:04] Speaker B: So my name could be in the Staples Center. [01:17:05] Speaker A: I know, but what's the retiring jersey for? Like what sport or what? [01:17:09] Speaker B: Just from being cracking. Yeah, I just got a jersey that say views. I might even put a statue. I might get a statue at the State Pacific. [01:17:19] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, you tripping. [01:17:20] Speaker B: Yeah. You see the one they made to me? The AI one? You didn't see, though. [01:17:25] Speaker A: Oh, I did see that. [01:17:26] Speaker B: The AI. I'll probably go put that somewhere. You walk in the Staples center and you just. It's just my head. [01:17:31] Speaker A: Avery said the Gina Center. [01:17:33] Speaker B: Gina. That sound like some recreation, though. That sound poor as a motherfucker. That sound like. Where you gonna take used clothes? [01:17:43] Speaker A: Yeah, come drop your shit off at the Gina Center. We taking all donations. [01:17:47] Speaker B: Yeah, that sound like a donation. [01:17:48] Speaker A: The doors of the church is open. [01:17:51] Speaker B: That sound like somewhere you apply for. [01:17:53] Speaker A: Housing the GINA center president for a day. [01:17:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Would you? [01:18:00] Speaker A: I would probably like. So they changed the carpool lane law to where they. So electric vehicles could drive in the carpool lane. They just got rid of that last week. [01:18:12] Speaker B: Good. The fuck. [01:18:16] Speaker A: I'm putting that back. [01:18:17] Speaker B: You will reverse it. [01:18:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:18:18] Speaker B: Wait, so electric? But when did they change this? [01:18:21] Speaker A: That was a law when they tried to incentivize everybody to drive electric cars, to cut down on gas, on emissions. So when you have electric car. Well, I don't know if you paid attention, but on the electric cars, they got them stickers you put on the bottom bumpers where it says EV vehicle. You can get in the carpool lane with nobody in there and just drive. I've been driving in the carpool lane for the last two years. [01:18:39] Speaker B: Me too. Sometimes I drive the shoulder. [01:18:53] Speaker A: What? [01:18:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I get in the shoulder if I'm in a rush. [01:18:57] Speaker A: That's why your tires be low. [01:18:59] Speaker B: No, my tires be low because I got a Mercedes. They're not good tires, bro. The thing come on for the heat. It's because the. The weather, the tire pressure up. Yeah, but. [01:19:09] Speaker A: Yeah, you can't drive on the shoulder, fool. [01:19:10] Speaker B: But I do the clean shoulders. Like, I'm not. I'm not doing the. The 110 shoulder that dirty. I'm not doing the 10 shoulder near downtown, East LA that dirty. I do the shoulder in the good. In the good areas, but I get over in the shoulder and then I put my hazards on and then I just drive real slow. But I Cruise past everybody until my map not red no more. We gonna go ahead and then I get back over. Do not try this at home. And that's why we tell you we are not journalists. [01:19:43] Speaker A: We go ahead and move on. Because she. [01:19:45] Speaker B: What's up? What's up? What's some traffic violations? I mean, some traffic rules you violate. [01:19:49] Speaker A: I make illegal U turns all the time. I made two illegal U turns today on Sunset. [01:19:57] Speaker B: I did that that night we went out. When we went, it's like, no U turn. I bust a bitch. [01:20:02] Speaker A: I ain't gonna lie. You're a bad influence. Fucking with you. I done parked in the red twice. [01:20:08] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's how I roll. [01:20:11] Speaker A: We go to Marathon Burger. You always in a loader's own. [01:20:15] Speaker B: Look like a parking spot to me. [01:20:16] Speaker A: You on a red curve and you just park. We get our food for here. Hey, like, where did we. Oh, we went to Mark Luck show. [01:20:27] Speaker B: Mark Luck show. [01:20:28] Speaker A: I for sure parked in the red through them hazard zone. [01:20:31] Speaker B: The head is driving around for A good, what, 20 minutes? Maybe 20, 15 minutes. 15 minutes looking for parking. It was no parking. That neighborhood. The neighborhood was so bad that we went on a residential street. And they was double parked. [01:20:46] Speaker A: They was double parked. [01:20:47] Speaker B: Just cars lined up, double parked. So it was no parking, in my defense. So we kept passing this red that was like right in the front. And I'm like, yeah, we only going in real quick and coming back out. I said, you scared to get in that red real quick? You said, hell yeah. So then we passed the drive through. I mean, a driveway. I said, you scared to block that driveway? You said, hell yeah. They might slash my tires or something. It got to the point, head was like, man, I'm about to go park in that red. [01:21:15] Speaker A: I'm in the parking is red. [01:21:16] Speaker B: Yeah, I be in the red. I be in the handicap yellow. Yep. At target. At target. Cause I'm just bouncing out. I'm going through self checkout. I'm coming, you know, real quick. Who's going to give me a ticket? [01:21:29] Speaker A: It ain't about a ticket. What if somebody pull up and need that spot? [01:21:32] Speaker B: It's another spot. [01:21:34] Speaker A: So you only do it if there's more spots available. [01:21:37] Speaker B: That's not what I said. I just said it's other spots. But if they. Like what? Like, like what? They still gotta walk. [01:21:45] Speaker A: I did. I ran two red lights today, too. [01:21:47] Speaker B: Oh, I'm not running no red light. [01:21:49] Speaker A: Not. No, no, no, no. It wasn't like I went through the intersection. Like, just. No, you know that turning so when we about to turn, the car in front of me wasn't going. [01:21:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:21:59] Speaker A: And the light, it turned yellow. They wait to the end of the yellow to turn. I'm like, bro, I'm in the middle of the intersection. I'm finna. [01:22:06] Speaker B: Oh, that's not running it. [01:22:07] Speaker A: That's not running it. [01:22:08] Speaker B: No, if you're already. If you. You talking about when you in that lane, it's green and then you gotta scoot up and you gotta wait for all the cars to go in that lane. If you're stuck in the middle section, you have to turn. [01:22:18] Speaker A: I wasn't passing. [01:22:18] Speaker B: You have to ride away. [01:22:20] Speaker A: I was behind the line. [01:22:21] Speaker B: Oh, if you was behind the lines, you ran that light. See, I'm so scared to run a light. Cause I'm still spooked from Slauson and. What is that? Centinella, La Brea. Slauson and La Brea. I'm not running through shit, nigga. Me, Nay and PB was in the car. Me, Nay and PB was in the car, like two months ago. Was that like two months ago? Yes. We was shooting one of the videos for R and B for the mixtape, and we are the car. Well, I think we was the car behind the car behind the line, right? Or was we the car that got hit? Behind the car that got hit? The car that got hit was in front of us. Okay. The motherfucker drove out. Mind you, the light is green. Oh, wait, I'm sorry. There was. It was a car behind the car that got hit. There was a car behind them, and we were behind that car. Okay, so we was behind the car behind the lines. [01:23:14] Speaker A: Yes. Okay. [01:23:15] Speaker B: Okay. So the light is green. We all supposed to go. This car. The car that's at the line goes. And then the car just hit him. [01:23:25] Speaker A: Like T Bone? [01:23:26] Speaker B: No, from the side. Like, from. We're green, so we all got the right of way to go. So another car from that way and then just hit that car. [01:23:32] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a T Bone. [01:23:33] Speaker B: The car didn't have no lights on the car. It was literally driving like a bat out of hell. The other car spin around, boom, go, you know, fly over. The car that hit him stopped like they was about to stop, kept going and hit a corner real quick. [01:23:49] Speaker A: Gone. [01:23:50] Speaker B: Gone. [01:23:51] Speaker A: Oh, my God. That's a felony, by the way. If you. A hit and run is a felony, you get a. You, like, that's not okay. Yeah, I don't violate traffic laws intentionally and often. I don't drive in the gutter lane or in the shoulder and all that type of shit. I will occasionally make an illegal U turn if the whole street is clear. Like, I will do that. [01:24:12] Speaker B: Oh, And I. I drive. Like, if I'm pulling up to somebody house real quick to pick up something, and they live on that side. I stay on that side. Like, I don't turn around to park. And for you to come out, like, you know, if you going this way, you supposed to turn around. So I swerve over and I sit in front of their house like that. [01:24:33] Speaker A: Oh, point it the wrong way. [01:24:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:34] Speaker A: Are you tripping? [01:24:35] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:24:36] Speaker A: On a street, like a. [01:24:38] Speaker B: Like a residential. [01:24:39] Speaker A: Oh, residential. Okay. Oh, shit. One time, Salas will tell you about this. Our manager. We on the freeway on the 91, coming back to LA. We went to the IE for a show. We're driving on a 91, going west, coming back to LA. We see headlights in front of us. I'm not even making this shit up. And I'm. Look, I'm in the backseat. So mind you, I'm in the backseat. I'm just chilling and whatnot. Sal is driving, you know, he got his 10 and 2 and he got. I'm sitting in the back seat, and I sit up. You know how you sit between the seats? I say, hey, do y' all see that? And they're like, I forgot who was with us. I think it was Chuck Dizzle or somebody. And they're like, what? I said, nigga, those are headlights. Cause you know how you could see, like, down the freeway? Silas was like, yeah, yeah, it looks like headlights. I'm like, nigga, are those headlights coming towards us? [01:25:33] Speaker B: Nigga, it's going fast. [01:25:35] Speaker A: They weren't. It wasn't. It wasn't. I couldn't tell. It was so far away, but I could tell that they were headlights. And as we got closer. So Silas started slowing down. As we got closer, we started looking. They weren't really coming fast towards us, but it was like we couldn't tell. Cause we was going on the freeway. And so as we got closer, he's slowing down. Come to find out, our car has spun out on the freeway and was facing, like, the divider, but, like, towards us. And that's what we were seeing. But. And so we just kind of went around him and everybody slowed down. But I saw headlights on the freeway in front of us, and that freaked me the fuck out. [01:26:11] Speaker B: Nigga, you ever been on the freeway and seen the whole freeway turning around? [01:26:15] Speaker A: Oh, no. That's when you pull your strap. Like, what you mean? [01:26:21] Speaker B: I Done been on the freeway and seen the whole freeway turning around and driving off of the nearest exit. Yeah, yeah, I done seen that a couple times. [01:26:31] Speaker A: I don't know what the fuck. I don't know what was. [01:26:34] Speaker B: I'm not gonna figure it out. [01:26:35] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm not gonna. [01:26:35] Speaker B: If I see, I'm getting off. [01:26:37] Speaker A: You know what's crazy is the way my brain work. I automatically think like Godzilla. [01:26:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:26:43] Speaker A: Or aliens or something. Like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The whole freeway turn around, I'm out. [01:26:46] Speaker B: I kinda wanna see something like extraterrestrial in my lifetime. [01:26:49] Speaker A: You say that until you see it. [01:26:51] Speaker B: I don't wanna see it up close and personal now. I wanna watch it like I watch baddies. I'm not there when the bitch is fighting. I'm just seeing it take place. [01:27:00] Speaker A: Yeah, but trust me, you think you not sleeping now. See a Godzilla walking through Leimert park on tv. You think you finna just. You and Roland finna lay down for the night? You finna make you some stir fry, nigga, go to sleep, nigga. That's not. [01:27:18] Speaker B: Nah. [01:27:18] Speaker A: What you mean? [01:27:19] Speaker B: The way probability work. I just know that I'm the last person that Godzilla gonna come for. [01:27:26] Speaker A: It don't matter. You not going to sleep. [01:27:31] Speaker B: I might get high. I might chew a gummy. [01:27:35] Speaker A: If you say so. All right, before we. I wanna, real quick, I wanna talk about this Nelly thing. Because I saw Nelly, I think he was on the shop. And I wanted to get your opinion on this. Cause you a 2000s, baby. Now, Nelly brought a great point up and he was basically saying like, yo, when I came out, I was going up against everybody. Everybody that was multi platinum diamond. Like I was like. And the competition was different than it is now. We have our so called big three of this generation. You got Kendrick, you got Drake, you got J. Cole. There's three. Then there's a whole bunch of people who we swap out of that fourth slot depending on the season at this time. And I'm gonna read this off to you. Nelly came out, Country Grammar came out in 2000. Okay. He was up against Eminem, Jay z, Mystical Outkast, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, DMX, Rough Ryder, Cisco, Ja Rule, Juvenile, LL Cool J, the Locks, the clips, right? And then when it came to the charts, the singles, the big singles that was. I mean, the big artists that were going crazy was Eminem. The Marshall Mathers LP came out the same year as Nelly. Country Grammar, dmx. And then there was X, Jay Z, Life and Times of S. Carter. Three Stankonia album, Ludacris back for the first time. Mr. Cool, let's get ready. And so when I was watching Nelly, like I could tell he felt away. Cause Nelly never won that Grammy. Eminem won the Grammy for the Marshall Mathers lp, which was probably deserved. But it made me think about the competition that's now versus what it was when we was coming up as fans of like the hip hop and the artists that were cracking at the time. And I agree with Nelly being. It's a way different landscape. Like those artists were way bigger, way more talented, not. Yeah, way more talented and putting out better albums and better singles and everything was crazy at the time. And Nelly never got his adieu. He said Country Grammar I think was eight times platinum and he still lost. [01:29:50] Speaker B: What's the question? [01:29:51] Speaker A: The question is do you agree that the competition is different? And the other question is do you think they will ever get back to that, that level of competition? [01:30:02] Speaker B: I think that. Cause I feel like all of the art, I think what's similar in that time and today's time is the artists are all still competing against each other, but the industry has changed. So the way that they're competing is just them. I feel like back then the labels was even competing with each other. Yeah, The A&Rs was competing with each other. The producers was like everybody was trying to be better than whoever their contemporary was. The labels, one label trying to be better than the other label. And then the artists themselves were competing. I think now music has just turned into a hobby for artists or the fans? Both. [01:30:45] Speaker A: Both? [01:30:45] Speaker B: Yeah, both. Like it's not. I remember I don't see too many people walking around with like they headphones on and stuff, just listening to music. Just randomly just walking around listening to music. [01:30:57] Speaker A: Nah, they look they on TikTok, they. [01:31:00] Speaker B: Scrolling now, you know, like people are. If you got your earpods in, it's probably because you watching or like looking at something. Versus we used to listen to music. We used to eat, sleep and shit music. Like think of like the ipod area, you know. So I don't think that. I don't think that people care too much anymore about music being created. And if I'm being honest with you, I've been. I didn't want to say this, I don't want to say this, but I kind of been unimpressed with a lot of new music. Like it hasn't been too. I just listened to K Camp's Kid 6 album and it's actually, it's the deluxe and I fell back in love with Consuming new music. [01:31:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:31:42] Speaker B: You know, like, it felt like I was listening to it as a fan versus listening to it as a media personality that has to come in and work and report on it. But a lot of stuff is not sticking. [01:31:51] Speaker A: Why is that? [01:31:52] Speaker B: I don't know. Cause even the R and B sound flat. Like, it's not layered no more. And I don't understand the process of formula creating music at all. But I know that R and B music is just used to sound thinking in this. I'm about to set the bar very high, but the Emancipation of Mimi, like, every song on that album was a hit. [01:32:14] Speaker A: Right. [01:32:15] Speaker B: I just seen somebody say. I just seen somebody say, Mariah Carey used a label, whole budget on one song. [01:32:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:32:28] Speaker B: Like, you know, it said she gonna use that whole budget, but them videos. [01:32:31] Speaker A: Was over the top. [01:32:32] Speaker B: Yeah. And then, like, how we was just talking about Mark Lux being the star. A lot of people don't have, like, star power. It's the same thing. Like I was saying before, who's gonna be our next moguls? Who's gonna be our next, like, OGs? Who's gonna be. We went through our Apple Replay, and I had music from the Wait until Excel soundtrack. Old shit, you know? Like, even the people that we've been championing and talking about, who are our favorites are artists from back in the day. Who's gonna replace Wale? Who's gonna replace the clips? You know, who gonna replace Kendrick? [01:33:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:33:06] Speaker B: So I don't know. I just think that we don't have. I think the music is eventually gonna. Like, I can't say this. [01:33:14] Speaker A: I'm gonna read you this tweet. You just brought up our Apple music there. I'm gonna read you this tweet. So we posted our. [01:33:20] Speaker B: Fuck Jeremy. Fuck Jeremy. [01:33:25] Speaker A: I was gonna read you the tweet. I was like, hey, you got it. You know what I'm saying? [01:33:30] Speaker B: Fuck Jeremy Hexx. I don't give a fuck about what Jeremy Heck said about my Apple replay 2023. [01:33:38] Speaker A: Hey, you know what's funny, too, is I forgot. I think my mom. My mom likes watching your shit all the time. She's like, oh, yeah, Gina know what's up. Like, bro, Gina, y' all not the same age. Gina wanna be old so bad. [01:33:52] Speaker B: Somebody hit me up and said, gina discovering methrone in 2025. I mean, that's what hit me up, saying, you discovered methyl in 2025. It's crazy. [01:33:59] Speaker A: It's you and one of my friends. I gonna blast her even though I want to. She Be listening to like Earth, Wind and Fire. I'm like, nigga, you 29. Nigga, you don't. What do you know about this music? [01:34:12] Speaker B: Yeah, man, it's good. That's what I'm saying. What music? What's the music of today that our kids. Kids is gonna be coming back to for they oldies? You get what I'm saying? Like, I feel like seeing Brandi and Monica be able to perform and all these artists that's coming out and performing with them, and then it's just sticking to a new generation, you know? Like, I seen Shout out to DJ get yout Money at Kalen's show. He was playing Chris Brown and Keyshia Cole and stuff. And the kids know the song, obviously. Cause a lot of it is probably going viral, like on TikTok and stuff like that, with all the new dances and trends and things. But I just. I don't know. I just don't. I just don't see that for us. But I could be turning into a old N. Because the music that I was listening to when I was a kid, the new music when my daddy used to be like, turn that Lil Wayne off. [01:34:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:35:00] Speaker B: He hated me listening to that, you know? [01:35:01] Speaker A: Yep. That's part of being an old head too. It's like starting. I mean, that shit ain't. That shit don't slap. It's like, damn, you gotta fight that too, because we still gotta pay attention. But every now and then you do get a breath of fresh air. Like you might find a Mark Lux or you might find somebody that really like K Camp album, you know. But K Camp always been talented. It's just that I think. I think, me personally, I think it's a matter of people finding what they do and locking in with a sound or a producer and really bringing that vision to life. [01:35:29] Speaker B: But that's the thing that even the industry is seeing. They not putting a lot into artists anymore to make us care about it. And then that era that you just talked about, like with Nelly in the 2000s and stuff, we had something to look forward to. We had a 106 and park to go watch they videos. We wanted to know who was that number one, you know, artist video. Yeah, I don't know. I just feel like. And then obviously too, we didn't have access to social media, so we didn't know. I mean, we had social media, but we didn't have as much access to the artists that we do these days. Cause it's like now it's like how you were saying with the relationships, how we didn't have behind the scenes stuff to know what was going on with these people. But now I can go tell you what Moneybagg yo did today. [01:36:09] Speaker A: Facts. [01:36:10] Speaker B: You know, like as a music consumer in the 2000s or as a kid back then, it was exciting to see, oh, shoot, Chris Brown, bout to go talk to them. You know, like, oh my goodness, Beyonce about to go up there. You know, like, I don't know, I just, I feel like even the stuff that we watch, that we're watching on TV from these, the stuff that we used to watch back then, it's just not like the playground not fun no more. The playground, all the apparatus is gone. So I don't got no reason to go on the playground. [01:36:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:36:43] Speaker B: You get what I'm saying. [01:36:43] Speaker A: The swings is gone. [01:36:44] Speaker B: It's nothing to look forward to with the artist. It's no shows to watch. We don't have any shows unless you're watching podcasts and you go watch an interview and stuff. But now you can go consume content when you want. Remember they used to tell us what time to go watch something? [01:36:57] Speaker A: Yeah, it's on demand now. [01:36:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, so I have no reason to rush home no more. [01:37:01] Speaker A: So the question is, is it better to have it? Is it better to have access to it at all times or is it better to build up where you have to wait? [01:37:09] Speaker B: I'm greedy. I want it when I want it, but it don't the way that I want. It has watered it down. [01:37:16] Speaker A: So it's a double edged sword. [01:37:19] Speaker B: Okay, well, what do you think the difference is now? [01:37:25] Speaker A: It is the having access to whenever you want. Because I remember the first thing that kicked all of this off the binge watching and like the On Demand was streaming. And then from a visual standpoint, it was Netflix House of Cards. That was the first thing that they put out where you could watch it all right now. And it never went back from there because it's like now. Because also here's another thing too. The game changed from a metric standpoint. Apple, Music, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon, their job is to keep you on the platform. For YouTube, their job is to keep you on the platform for as long as possible. People think like Netflix is competing with Sony or they're not. Everybody in the game, from Spotify to Netflix to Warner Brothers is competing with YouTube. Yeah, because YouTube has the most time spent on platform out of everything on earth. There's more time, more people being on YouTube all day than any other platform. You can put them all together. None of them is taking a fade with YouTube. So to me, it's about the balance. It's about a healthy balance of the two. Like their job is to keep you Instagram, wants to keep you on Instagram. That's why they force you to do a link in bio as opposed to just letting me click a post and go to the page. Right. Same thing with TikTok. I think what I remember the House of Cards starting and I binge watched that and then I remember every other everybody else followed that format. Same thing happened with streaming. It's like everybody get the song at 9pm or midnight, right? There's no reason to anticipate going to listen to DJ Head on the radio, break the record. Or there's no reason to anticipate going to this over here to anticipate seeing the music video debut. I remember when Eminem dropped, I think it was the Without Me video and it was like this big ass thing. They shot this behind the scenes with Dr. Dre and I'm just sitting there for like two hours waiting on them to debut the fucking music video because I'm like, nigga, I gotta see this shit. Eminem is back. You know what I mean? Same thing for sporting events now. I think it's kind of a gift and a curse. Yeah, we can consume it when we want to. I can go on YouTube at any time. I can watch anything I want at any time. But that means now I don't go watch nothing. [01:39:44] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:39:46] Speaker A: So it's like yes, you want it when you want it, but then that lessens the demand for it. So I guess the question I'm trying to ask to you and to the listeners is like, which one is better? It's like, you can have it when you want it, but now there's no demand for it. Or should we go backwards a little bit and be like, let's create a demand for it? Which is what I think that artists are doing now. Like, I think Cardi B had a really strong demand for her album. I think Wale had a really strong demand for his album. I think clips, they had a year of quote unquote rollout as a demand for their album. And I think you see those things working out. But I also think that it's a difference between artists. I don't think that Moneybagg yo should follow the same thing as Tyler. [01:40:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:40:29] Speaker A: You know what I mean? Like, I think his demand is different. I think that Mark Lux should be flooding us. I don't think he should do what Dot is doing and Give us one album every four or five years. [01:40:39] Speaker B: But do you think that the demand would change if every. So like, basically what I'm trying to say is if there was certain artists that, let's say nobody made themselves accessible, then that would increase. Raise the demand. So a Money Back yo could do that, or a Mark Lux could do that. Because now the demand is there. Because let's say. Let's use Cardi B, for example. Cardi B is holding out or whatever, you get what I'm saying? Versus she'll be compared to somebody else who is giving everybody so much access. If we just reverse a lot of this shit, then the demand will be. [01:41:16] Speaker A: There again, but everybody will have to participate all at one time. [01:41:19] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying. And that's where the music industry comes in. [01:41:22] Speaker A: Yeah, but also, they don't now they're just in the business of microwaving shit and putting it out. Because it's a volume game. And once they introduce the. Be able to monetize in real time. That's kind of what threw everything off. Because I remember, like, for instance, Lil Wayne, your favorite rapper. I remember when we. When Glasses. I don't say we. When Glasses was signed to Cash Money. I remember us running into a problem where Wayne has so many verses out that we couldn't even drop our music with Wayne. We're signed to Cash Money, we can't put our shit out with Wayne on it. Cause Wayne got two of his own records that's charting and he's got six features going. And it's just oversaturation of Lil Wayne. The universe was like, nigga, we can't put no more Wayne out right now. I'm sorry that your big record got Wayne on it, but fuck that shit. It was like. I remember that. And Wayne was one of the first people to start that flood type of thing. I don't remember nobody doing it before Wayne. I could be mistaken, but Wayne was the first person I knew that started the flood thing where. And then he reversed it himself. That's where the drought came from. You know what I'm saying? So I don't know if it would take the big people to do it or if it would have to be everybody else, because you still gonna get the artists. That's like, fuck that, I'm flooded. [01:42:39] Speaker B: That's why I'm saying we gotta get a little bit more gatekeeping. Like if we just get a little bit more gatekeepish. Because right now it's like. Not to say it's nobody Controlling it. But it's not enough control. [01:42:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:42:51] Speaker B: If there is, if I have so much access to something, then. All right, let's use sex or a hoe. [01:43:01] Speaker A: Okay. [01:43:02] Speaker B: If you just giving it up like that, if I can go over to. I was about to say Eisha, and then they was gonna get mad and say that was racist. All right, let's say Michelle. If Michelle is giving it up, why am I waiting for Cynthia to give me some? I can go over here to Michelle and get hit whenever I want to. [01:43:23] Speaker A: Now you cooking. [01:43:24] Speaker B: But if everybody hold close their legs, then a demand gonna be back and we gonna be hungry again as fans. And then even like, I like this. [01:43:33] Speaker A: Analogy, but did you pick it up when I put it down? Yeah, yeah, I get it. But I ain't fucking with it. [01:43:40] Speaker B: Like, if some. We just gotta. They just need the whole. They need to starve us. [01:43:45] Speaker A: The artists do. [01:43:46] Speaker B: The artists need to starve the fans the same way that power starve us. I'm 50 Cent. Same way. 50 Cent starve us with power. The same way Tyler Perry starving us with beauty and black, bro. [01:43:56] Speaker A: That's they did you see when they trying to drop the second half of. [01:43:58] Speaker B: That shit in March? Nigga, you see how mad you are? Yeah, you see how mad you are? [01:44:04] Speaker A: I'm like, man, what the fuck is going on with Kendall? [01:44:05] Speaker B: But guess who dropping every week? Zeus. Yeah, every single week after the reunion, we getting a new episode or something. [01:44:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't watch it. [01:44:14] Speaker B: But TYLER Perry and 50, they starving us. This is what the music industry needs to do with artists so that we can be back. Like, be back excited about something. I have no use to watch. I understand why 106 and park is over with. It's no use of watching 106 and Park. MTV Jams, VH1Soul, what's the other music channel? MTV Hits. There's no reason to go sit on there and watch that, unless I'm just a traditional music consumer who used to watch that stuff when I was a kid. Like, I am. So I would. But it's no point in the new fans watching that stuff because I can just go to YouTube and watch the new video, right? So gatekeep this motherfucker and make it to where you can only see it on MTV Jams for a good 30 days. Or you gotta go turn on 106 and park to see these top 10 videos and then it's on YouTube. Yeah. You know, but I done heard multiple conversations about them talking about the way that the format and how 106 and park is the landscape of it. Basically, they was clashing with the music industry. [01:45:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I think you're right. And I think we do it to a certain, like, people. Oh, y' all need to go live every day. Y' all need to be. It's like, eh. Yes. And I understand why people want more, but then that does dilute the product. [01:45:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:45:33] Speaker A: People look forward to seeing Joe Budden twice a week. People look forward to seeing us every week or every day, depending on where you look or listen or consume or whatnot. People look forward to hearing Gina every Saturday. It would be different if you could just. I could tune in that shit whenever I want. Yeah, it'd be a little different. [01:45:48] Speaker B: Cause she always gonna be here. You always gonna be right there. You know, it's like right now, we're. Right now, I feel like the music industry is a restaurant that's open 24 hours with unlimited seating. [01:46:01] Speaker A: Mm. [01:46:02] Speaker B: You can go get that. You can go get you on anytime you want. You can go eat anytime you want. You can sit down wherever. There's always gonna be a seat for you. It ain't no line out the door. We need a line out the door for hip hop. [01:46:14] Speaker A: Yes, for music. [01:46:16] Speaker B: And I don't know nothing about the industry. I'm just talking as a fan. [01:46:19] Speaker A: I can see that. I can see that it would. Like I said, I think it could work. Everybody would have to participate at once, and I don't see that happening before. [01:46:27] Speaker B: We get up out of here. This is. Is this our last YouTube? [01:46:30] Speaker A: This our last YouTube for the year? Yes. [01:46:34] Speaker B: So y' all still gonna see us, but it's not gonna be real. We got some interviews dropping.

Yeah, we got something else for y'. All. But before we get up out of here. And y' all can answer this in the comments, too, hey, what is your favorite Effective immediately, Memory or interview? [01:47:42] Speaker A: Damn. Interview would have to be clips just. Cause I feel like that was a big one for us. And we both was really excited about that. Like, we both were really, I think. Well, for me, I'll speak for me, I was really excited about that. This is my excited face. I was really, like, looking forward to that. And just to be honest with you, just from a validation standpoint of, like, damn, this is, like, dope. Like, what we've created and how people look at us is important to me. And I think when we set out to do this show, we both independently was like, nigga, this is like, we're gonna do this right. We not finna do no. We not finna be no gossip show. We gonna cover the gossip. We not gonna be the gossip show. We not gonna be the streamer competition. We not gonna tear down the artist. We not gonna do a whole bunch of, you know, click, baity type shit. And to hear push and malice perspective on us and this show and me specifically, I was like, damn, that's fucking dope. Cause I respect them in that way. I don't look at them as, like, clowns or goofy. I just seen people try to come for me for the tweet that I posted about the. The story of Adidon or something, saying that I wish it was more bars and less gossip. I still believe that, like, he exposed the kid. But I wanted to be. I was Pusha T. I wanted to hear more bars. Like, well, fun fact. [01:49:07] Speaker B: Pusha T just did come out and say he not doing no more diss tracks. Yeah. [01:49:11] Speaker A: But I'm just saying, like, I'm a fan of. I want. I like Pusha T's bars. Excuse me for wanting more bars. [01:49:17] Speaker B: I want both. [01:49:18] Speaker A: But that. And then for us specifically, just me and you. Favorite moment, I think when I surprised you with a Jagged Edge thing, that was dope to me. Cause it was like, I could tell that was like. That was one of the most to me. Okay, I'm gonna be honest. Like, when I had a. Oops, my bad. When I had a. Like, when I worked with Big Boy in the morning show, I remember him Doing that for people. When I worked in the morning show, I specifically just remember this one moment when I worked on Big's morning show and. Cause I was answering the phones and somebody called in and was like, hey, bro. Like, Big was doing this thing he does called Santa Big every holiday season where he tries to grant wishes to the city. So some dude called in, Hispanic dude, and he was like, mero. He was like, bro, I'm trying to feed my family, bro. I think he was, no, he's a black dude. No, he's Hispanic. He was like, I was trying to feed my family, bro. Like, I'm not asking for no money. I'm not asking for a car or nothing. I gotta get back and forth to work. I walked to work and we was like, how far you walk, bro? He was like, when I tell you it was a walk. He was walking like an hour and a half, almost two hours to work. He was like, bro, if y' all got a bike, like, if y' all just got a bike up there, like, please, like, I'm just trying to feed my. [01:50:38] Speaker B: You need some transportation? [01:50:39] Speaker A: He was like, I just need a bike, bro. [01:50:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:50:41] Speaker A: And Big brought his bike to the radio station. His own bike. He was like, bro, I don't be riding this shit like that. He brought his own bike to the radio station and the dude pulled up and he gave that man that bike and that man just lost it. And I was like, damn. Like, to me, those are the things that I kind of like using the platform for. [01:51:02] Speaker B: Right? Right. [01:51:03] Speaker A: Like, damn, you don't know what this shit mean to me. I always want so. I always wanted to put myself in a position where I could do that for other people. I've done it a couple times that I can remember. Like, you know, it's no need to bring it up, but I've done that a couple times. And those things mean the most to me. Being able to use what I built or what I'm doing to like, do give people those moments. You just met a kid that. [01:51:27] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, we gotta shout him out. [01:51:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Sajay from Long Beach. We'll have him up here. We'll talk about it. But those are the things that I always wanted to do. And so the Jagged Edge thing was dope for me. [01:51:41] Speaker B: Jagged Edge is definitely. That was. That was. That's probably. That might be one of my favorite experiences in life. [01:51:47] Speaker A: For real? [01:51:48] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, not just for the year, like literally in life. But I didn't. You didn't even know. I was holding back so many tears. During that B2K interview. [01:51:58] Speaker A: Really? [01:51:59] Speaker B: Hell yeah. I want to cry right now. Because, like, as I was sitting there. Okay, so obviously I am. I grew up listening to, you know, to B2K or whatever. And I just remember being like a child and watching their music videos, being a fan of they music. I had the you Got Served soundtrack, and I used to listen to it in my CD player and just tune out or whatever. Mind you, I'm a kid. I don't even understand these lyrics. I'm too young for this and stuff. But, like, I would listen to the youe Got Served soundtrack. So obviously they broke up in what, 2005. It was early, I think they broke up. [01:52:41] Speaker A: They only did like two albums. [01:52:42] Speaker B: Yeah. And then we saw them on Love and hip hop, and then we saw the discourse when they was beefing and all of that type of stuff. Obviously, I haven't gone to any of the Millennium tours, but as I was sitting there in the moment, we was interviewing them. So with a lot of the legends and people that I'm fans of, like a Jagged Edge, like Amaya, I had kind of just came to this thought that my time had already expired to sit down with these people. Because I wasn't a media personality during their. When they were active that era. Yeah, in their prime, you know. So to me, a Wale interview was like, not ever gonna happen. Because he's not a little baby or Durk or G herbo. Somebody that's within that, you know, that's active while I'm working. You know what I'm saying? So I'm not thinking that I'm ever gonna be able to do any of these things. So literally, as we sit in there and I'm just looking and raspy Omarion and Fizz, I'm like. I was just able to tell Fizz that that was my first celebrity crush, you know, Like, I was a kid watching them. I was a kid watching you guys serve. If you would have told me sitting in that living room, sitting in my grandmother's living room, that I'm going to interview them, I would have never believed that. So just even like, being able to talk to these legends and things like that, sitting down with clips, like, again, somebody else that I thought, my time has expired. I'm not Angie Martin. I'm not Big boy. One interview that I want that I'm never gonna get is a Tupac interview. You know, I don't think I'm ever gonna get a fabulous interview or that's gonna happen or a Lil Wayne interview. [01:54:25] Speaker A: You know that's gonna happen too. [01:54:26] Speaker B: So, like, because. But in my mind, I'm not active during Free and A.J. or Terrence and Roxy. You get what I'm saying? Like, this is something that has already. The time has passed for me to talk to the people that I was fans of because I wasn't working, you know, during that time. So. So when I was sitting there with B2K, everything, every struggle, every bump in the road, every tragedy, whatever that I had went through, you know how they say it's all gonna make sense? I never believed that. Like, when you in the thick of it going through shit and you struggling, I'm going to Cerritos, Walmart and Ross and going home and doing homework and then working on G Expo and stuff like that. I had never saw anything outside of my struggle. And what I was going. So when people be like, everything's gonna make sense. You gotta put in. You the one who told me this. If you're not willing to do it for free for 10 years, then you don't want it. I didn't realize that I had already put in them years, you know? So I was just sitting here and I'm like, dang it, do all make sense. I never. I always like. The reason why I kept going this whole time was because I just didn't know anything else. So whether I ever made any impact or made any money from it, I was gonna do it regardless. Just because I just don't know nothing else. Even if I was still working, like, a regular job. So I never saw the other side of it. I didn't see me sitting in the interview with B2K, who had broke up that. You know what I'm saying? Like, I never saw, like a turnaround or anything like that. Like, I don't know. So sitting there with them, I was trying not to cry. And it was moments where I shut it up because I couldn't talk through my crackly voice. And then I, like, sit there. Cause I know how to make my tears go back inside. So I was, like, reversing my tears or whatever, but I had to reverse my tears in order to talk. [01:56:19] Speaker A: That's insane. [01:56:21] Speaker B: You just seen me do it right now, though. Cause I was just about to cry and then I stopped. [01:56:26] Speaker A: That's not putting. That's not reversing it. [01:56:27] Speaker B: Did you see me wipe my face? No, I reverse them. [01:56:31] Speaker A: Okay. All right, good. [01:56:32] Speaker B: I put them back. It's like when you hold a fart in. [01:56:34] Speaker A: It's like you got tear. Go backs. [01:56:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. Return Them. But yeah, I was like sinners. I just couldn't believe I felt like I was in 2004. Yeah, like sitting there with them. We get to talk to B2K about you got served, you get what I'm saying? If I ever get to talk to Fabulous, I want to talk about him being in Brown sugar. That's a 2002 question. You get what I'm saying? So even just me talking to Miya about the King magazine and what was it like her impact with the jersey dresses and stuff like that, These are outdated questions that I have as a fan because I was a fan back then. I never knew I was gonna be able to do none of this shit. So yeah, that was a. I still don't know what, I guess what my favorite one is, but all of them, all of them just being here. Combination, Combination. Oh, probably Joey might have been my favorite interview though. [01:57:26] Speaker A: Oh, Joey was. [01:57:27] Speaker B: Joey might have been my favorite interview. And that's another thing of me being able to be a part of something that took place in the culture because not only was I commentating on it, my voice is on a fucking diss track. [01:57:42] Speaker A: Oh no, you in history. [01:57:45] Speaker B: Cemented forever. [01:57:46] Speaker A: You in history. [01:57:47] Speaker B: There's gonna be a kid in 10 years. Who is that girl? In the beginning of this song from Unique. Cause you know they gonna be calling them Unique. Who is this girl? Da da da da. Like, oh, you know, that's Gina Views and that's me. It's kinda like how you trying to like wonder like what happened to the women, the voices on like those old school like west coast tracks. [01:58:07] Speaker A: Well, now we can look people up. Now I know it's Gina Views before, like you can't go back and look those people up. [01:58:11] Speaker B: Right? Well, my name not on there though. [01:58:14] Speaker A: No, but I'm saying like you were talked about in the midst of the conversation. Oh yeah, I can't go research who was on the lady of Rage album. [01:58:21] Speaker B: Right, right, right. [01:58:22] Speaker A: On the Bone Thugs and Harmony album. There's no, there's no document, there's no conversation. If they didn't talk about it in the magazine, it don't exist. [01:58:28] Speaker B: You would've have to ask somebody that was there, correct? Yeah. So yeah, I was just thinking too, I'm like, this been a good, this been a good first year in radio. [01:58:37] Speaker A: Yeah, incredible first year. [01:58:39] Speaker B: Really? Yeah. [01:58:40] Speaker A: Congratulations. [01:58:41] Speaker B: I fucked the streets up. [01:58:42] Speaker A: You got a morning show. [01:58:44] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I keep forgetting about it. [01:58:46] Speaker A: You got your own show, you know what I'm saying? [01:58:49] Speaker B: Hey, I'm telling you, the Little girl, little Regina, 8 year old Regina, 9 year old, 1012 teenager that I used to stand in. I used to stand in front of the tv. I didn't do this for AJ Obviously, but for Terrence, I used to stand in front of the TV with the remote and act like I was hosting the freestyle battles. And then at the end, I stand up and introduce the new joint of the day. I mean, not at the end. I introduced the number one video in my living room or I introduced a new joint. [01:59:18] Speaker A: Can you remember any of them? Your introduction? [01:59:20] Speaker B: I wouldn't tell you. [01:59:21] Speaker A: Just say one. [01:59:22] Speaker B: No. [01:59:23] Speaker A: What's the number one? Bow wow Omarion like. [01:59:26] Speaker B: Bow wow Omarion like you. It's the number one joint of the day. [01:59:37] Speaker A: Well, there you have it. You know what I'm saying? I think that's dope. You know what I'm saying? Congratulations. [01:59:44] Speaker B: Every day I just. Cause it's like, not to say I wasn't worthy, but I kind of didn't think that I was gonna or get this far. [01:59:51] Speaker A: What? [01:59:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Like you ain't ever just drove your car and just remember when you was walking. [01:59:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:59:58] Speaker B: And it's like, damn, I really got this car. [02:00:01] Speaker A: Oh, oh, I did that today. [02:00:03] Speaker B: Have you ever drove past? I drove past my middle school. I drove past Henry Clay, and I had remembered a time where I was standing in front of the school not knowing who I was gonna be as an adult. [02:00:13] Speaker A: I do you one better. I'm about to show you a picture that I ain't never showed nobody. So when I. I don't think I'll ever tell you about it. When I had to move to my apartment, I moved out of my mom house. So here's a fun fact. When I moved, when I was. I was living with my mom. We had rats. And when I got the job at iHeart, I got the job at iHeart. I agreed to do like the morning show and work on and answer the phone for Big and shit like that. And so I was like, man, I'm finna go all in on this radio thing. I was still living with my mom, 31 years old, no car broke, fucked up. So I was like, I'm gonna go in all in on this radio thing, and I'm either gonna win or I'm gonna lose. But I'm not finna. Ain't no in between. Like, I'm finna go all in. So what ended up happening was I wanted to move closer to the radio station so I could be like, right there. And Salas, our manager, he was like, you need to move to the radio station. I'm just like, bro, I can't afford to move. And he was like, yes, you can. I'm like, bro, no, I can't. N. I'm not making enough money to move to the radio station, to move to that side of town. Same kind of way. Same way you felt when you lived over there and we was telling you to move to the Valley. I'm like, how the fuck I'm gonna make whatever. Like. So I found a place, and the place was $1,200 a month. And it was a shoebox. It was 400 square feet, totally, including the bathroom, kitchen, everything. It was a little shoebox. And when I decided to move, I told my mom. I was like, I'm finna move. I don't know. I'm just taking this leap of faith. Like, hopefully I can figure out how to make this 1200amonth. [02:01:53] Speaker B: And. [02:01:56] Speaker A: The day that I was moving out, I told her, I said, I'm leaving. Because I was helping her, obviously, pay bills and stuff like that. I said, I'm leaving, but I'm going to come back. And so when I come back, I'm gonna buy you a house, though. And she was just like, okay, I'm not gonna leave you here. Cause it, you know, we was fucked up. We had rats and shit. And I said, I'm not finna leave you here. I said, I'm finna go figure this out, and I'm gonna come back. I'm gonna buy you a house. And she was like, okay. So I moved, and I just thugged it out at that apartment. And my rent was twelve hundred dollars. They kept raising. It was twelve something like a month. It was thirteen hundred a month, right? And so fast forward, I lived there for like, I don't know, four or five, four or five, four years or something like that. I stacked up 2018 and bought my mama house. Then 2019, about my house. And then recently, like, maybe a few years ago, when I got the car that I wanted, which is the Model X, I went and bought it. And then I went to West Coast Customs because I'm. I'm DJ Head Ryan hooked it up for me. And then I took the car and I was driving home, back to the Valley, and I went back, I passed the street I used to live off on North Hollywood, and I was like, let me go over here. And I took this picture. I never posted it because it ain't for that, but I took this picture. I took this picture in front of the Building I used to live in, right? And. And so I took the picture. And the reason I took this picture is because how much I paid for rent when I moved to my own house is how much I paid for my car note. [02:03:28] Speaker B: Damn. [02:03:29] Speaker A: And I just took this picture as a reminder. I was like, damn, bro. Like, that's fucking crazy. Because when I moved out, I had no idea how I was gonna come up with that 1200amonth. I'm like, I thought it was impossible to pay $1,200 a month for rent. Cause I had never paid rent on my own before. Because I've been living with my mom my whole life, and we've been struggling my whole life and helping my brother and sister. So when I took that picture, I was like, damn, this is. That's when I had that moment. But every day, I have that moment. Like, I come in here and, like, even I was telling Avery and Nate before you came to work, I was like, this is crazy that we get to just come to the radio station and do what we do, because this is not the case. Like, I come from a different program where it's fucked up. But to answer your long story short, I have that moment every day. Like, I be thinking about this shit all the time. And then also seeing how people look at you for me, is dope, because I'm like, damn, people really? Like. Like, when we go places, everywhere I go, they ask me about you. You know what I'm saying? I go, nigga, my mom stay with me. I go to the house. She like, yeah, so where's Gina? What's up with Gina? I'm like, nigga, I'm literally your son. I'm at the house. You know what I'm saying? I'm chilling. I'm in my drawers, you know, don't ask me about Gina. Views in my drawers. You know what I'm saying? But, like, I think that, well, one shout out to Sway. I'm forever grateful to Sway and Charlamagne because those two dudes embraced me day one. And I feel like they did the same thing for you. Yeah, big boy, too. But I like how people don't necessarily look at you. How they looked at me when I first tried to figure, like, when I was first getting in, it was like, you had to kind of like, n. We, you know, you. They. You know, it's whatever. But now, like, when I see the way people respect you, I'm like, okay, we doing a good job. [02:05:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:05:23] Speaker A: So I like that. [02:05:24] Speaker B: I think that realization, it kind of, for Me, it made me be more grateful. Cause I felt ungrateful. I felt ungrateful once I had the realization that I am where I've been reaching to be for all of these years. Like, I, you know, I, like, I don't know this. Do you want another car? [02:05:48] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't think so. I think I have what. I think I'm really satisfied with what I have. [02:05:53] Speaker B: So I think that as humans, like, you get the house you want and then you want a better one. You get the car you want and then you want a better one. You get the job and the salary that you want, but then you want more money instead of realizing that you're living in one of your prayers. [02:06:07] Speaker A: That's what I do. [02:06:09] Speaker B: And I didn't have this realization until probably like, I think it was probably like earlier this year maybe. But I was sitting in my house and I was just watching tv and I was comfortable and I was warm, I was cozy and I had money. Like, you know, like I was fine. I was in an apartment that was on my, on my, that was saved in my. On the. One of the apartment websites or whatever. That's one of the apartment that I live in. I had saved. [02:06:37] Speaker A: Oh, word. [02:06:38] Speaker B: And I was going through my. My saved post on Instagram one day in the living room set that I saved back then. I saved it a long time ago, but I have it. My car. I went through my pictures from 2018, just going through, deleting screenshots and the car that I drive now is in there. But I didn't, I didn't go to. When I got my car, I didn't go to the dealership to get a car. I went to the dealership to look at the cars and figure out what my options was. I totally forgot that three, four years ago that I had saved the screenshot of the picture, you know, saying I want it, but saying all this to say, I think that we just need to be more grateful and realize that just because you have more things that you want or more levels that you want to reach, you gotta be comfortable. You gotta realize that you're living in one of your prayers. And it's a blessing to be able to live in your prayers. Because one thing that I know is everybody does not get the chance to chase their dreams or to actually live out their dreams. [02:07:39] Speaker A: Our parents. [02:07:39] Speaker B: Yeah, our parents. That's a prime example. So from where I come from, people say that they gonna do stuff or wanna do something and they never able to do it. And for lack of better terms, like, hoop dreams, you know, like, it's like, I wanna do this. I wanna be this person. And one of my biggest fears is having all the tools and resources to be successful, not utilizing them. And I don't know. I'm just happy to be. I'm just happy to be here. I'm just happy to be here. I'm happy that I can call Sway. I'm happy the way Charlotte fuck with us. The way big boy the ten freaking Joe button talk about me. You don't know what that did to my soul, because I cry when Everyday Struggle got canceled. I crashed my Honda listening to Everyday Struggle. [02:08:19] Speaker A: That's crazy. [02:08:20] Speaker B: Like, so. It's just crazy, like, being able to. Cause like I said, I never seen anything outside of my current status. To me, it was like, this is just what it is. I'm walking in Sirius xm. I got a key card. Like, that's amazing. And I just think that no matter where you are in life, you kind of just have to be grateful of the blessing that you or the prayer that you currently living in. Because you know how they say the opportunities are endless? That's for real. That's actually true. [02:08:53] Speaker A: That's true. [02:08:54] Speaker B: The opportunities is endless. [02:08:56] Speaker A: You just have to believe, and you have to be grateful. [02:08:58] Speaker B: Yeah. But also be grateful for living in whatever your existence is. Be grateful for that. Cause everybody don't get to live in that. [02:09:08] Speaker A: Mm. You know, that's the moral of the story, kids. [02:09:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Bye. Cause we been talking for too long. I ain't checked my phone in two hours, and they probably been saying, wrap this shit up. No. Oh, she. Oh, what you proud of Nate? Y' all was cooking this episode. Y' all cooked for two hours. [02:09:24] Speaker A: What's your favorite effective mealy moment of the year, Nate? [02:09:27] Speaker B: I have, like, bullshit funny moments. Favorite moment Precious definitely is clips for interview in B2K. Funny moments. Okay. The. The frozen fry conversation is top tier. All the pause moments are top tier. The recent God conversation. The God on the homie conversation is, like, top five. Just. Y'. All. [02:09:55] Speaker A: What about nay? [02:09:57] Speaker B: Oh, a nay memory. Y' all love it. The live show. Y' all love it. Y' all surprised me. I like that one. I like that one. [02:10:08] Speaker A: There you go. [02:10:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's my memory. [02:10:12] Speaker A: Well, there you go. [02:10:13] Speaker B: Do Avery got a mic. [02:10:14] Speaker A: Avery. Yeah. Turn your mic on, bro. What's your favorite moment of the year? Thank you for staying here late every week with us. You know, Avery's our. The person that you always see laughing behind Gina. Go ahead, Avery. Nah, I mean, for me, it's just, you know, having the opportunity, like you said, There was times where I never even thought I would be in a position, like you said, with a key card.
