[00:01:15] Speaker B: Your manager didn't know what kind of cake you like. I just wanted to tell you that.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't really be eating cake a lot, but when I do, I go. I eat a whole cake.

[00:01:31] Speaker B: I didn't get you no candles. Because you had that conversation.
[00:01:36] Speaker A: Yeah. About blowing the candles. But I also think. I think we. I don't know if we can have fire in the studio.
You know what's funny? You know what's funny?
[00:01:44] Speaker B: Make sure I'm coming in with sparklers. I'm gonna be a bottle girl.
[00:01:46] Speaker A: Oh, shit. I remember. Cause I remember. I don't remember. I don't wan.
But there was a radio host who set off the sprinklers in the building, trying to do some bullshit. Shut up. And fucked the whole shit up. Like.
[00:01:59] Speaker B: Like serious or local?
[00:02:00] Speaker A: It was another radio station. Because you can't just have fire in an off in a building like this. Like this. The shit will come on. You know what I'm saying? And another time we had Rich, the kid on the show, and he came and just big smoked out the studio and was like, it's cool. I know your boss I remember that. I was like, excuse me, I left. But anyway, that's neither here nor there.
[00:02:20] Speaker B: How was your vacation?
We've been gone for a month.
[00:02:25] Speaker A: A month?
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Ish.
[00:02:26] Speaker A: Ish. Okay, so I have a couple things to say. I went to Africa. I went to South Africa. I went to Johannesburg, and then I went to Cape Town, South Africa.
And I ain't gonna lie, it felt like home.
And the people, the locals, when you get there, they're like, welcome home. Like, they tell you that. Like, welcome home, welcome home, welcome home. They didn't say that to the others. They were saying it to us, to me. You know what I'm saying? It was like, damn, this is cool. It ain't like how people try to make it sound where it's like, they don't fuck with us. Like, no. They're like, yeah, come home, like, pull up. Like, they show you. They want to show you around and show you the culture and shit. And I was like, damn, I gotta fuck around. And like, I gotta fuck around out here. I want to go back soon. Like, I'm trying to go back this year.
I want to go to Ghana, though.
But being in South Africa also made me a little upset, like, because.
[00:03:25] Speaker B: I.
[00:03:25] Speaker A: Don'T know how to. I'm trying to. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to say this on the radio. Politically correct, but it made me a little bit more resistant towards the way that the world has gone because of colonization.
Because I was out there, and I'm looking at all this beautiful shit, all these people and culture, and they just so. And then we don't run none of it.
It's all ran by them, right? And it's just like, damn. Like, y' all just pulled up on y' all ships and just took all this shit.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: Them out there, too.
[00:03:56] Speaker A: Out there.
And then I found out this is the pro tip. This is why I'm bringing this up. This is a pro tip. I didn't find this out until my last day in the country.
There was a therapist that worked at a spa, and she was telling me. She was like, hey, thank you for the. I left a real generous tip on my American Express. Like, a generous tip, because she was like, great and hosted everybody, and she was super dope. And I was just like. She's like, yeah, whenever you come back to South Africa, she's like, just bring cash. And I'm like, I'm American. We don't travel with cash. Like, we. You know, niggas be getting robbed. And we either Travel with credit card or traveler's checks or something like that.
[00:04:34] Speaker B: They get that fee.
[00:04:35] Speaker A: She said, the owners don't give us our tips. I said, are you serious? She was like, yeah. She's like, we'll never see those tips. Like I said the whole time I've been out here. She said, the whole time. She's like, everybody who works here, this was in Cape Town. I can't speak for Johannesburg. She's like, all the locals who work here, we all live in villages and stuff and towns that are outside of Cape Town. We can't afford to live here. And all of the others that run all the businesses, they don't give us our tips. So tell everybody to bring cash when they come and do tourism and stuff like that. And I just felt terrible, like, so.
[00:05:12] Speaker B: The whites is in the motherland.
[00:05:13] Speaker A: What?
Yes.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: What?
[00:05:17] Speaker A: Running the shit. Like they out there running. And now, don't get me wrong, there's like certain. It's like here you might run into a black owned Court Cafe or you might run into a black owned, like, you know, whatever. But it ain't like what you where. It's like we running everything.
Not in the major, like Johannesburg and Cape Town. If you go outskirts, like I went on safari. Chico Bean. I ran into Chico. I saw that when I was out there. Chico, I don't know. Oh, no. Let me tell you what happened.
Well, actually, let me back up. If you go on the outskirts, then yes, like, they are in control of the things. But in the major spots where it's like, where you gonna be at? Nah, we don't really run shit like that. And so when she told me that, I felt terrible because it was my last day there. I'd been there like eight days or something like that. Seven days. And I've been tipping everybody I got. I'm on. I'm like, nigga, this on American Express. I'm tipping everybody, right? She's like, yeah, nobody's gonna see any of those tips. And I just felt terrible.
[00:06:16] Speaker B: Like, you better than me. I would have been reporting them transactions.
I'll be reporting transactions right now.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: And I was just. So then I. So when I first got there, I had a hundred dollar bill. I didn't have a lot of money. So like, this was a credit thing. So I had a $100 bill and I changed in for the local currency, which is called czar, it's called rand.
And for $100 you get about.
You get like 1500 rand or something like that. Something close to that.
And so the Baggage people, the airline people, the taxi. I'm tipping everybody. Cause I already know that's what you do in other places. So I'm tipping everybody. But I had like 400 rand left, and I just started giving it away to the. To the black women that was working at the place and at the airport and shit. Cause I just felt bad. Like I had been tipping all these people who now gonna never see they tips.
[00:07:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:09] Speaker A: And I don't know, it just made me feel. It made me feel away. I ain't gonna lie.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: Did you get my soap?
[00:07:13] Speaker A: I brought you your soap.
[00:07:15] Speaker B: You got my soap?
[00:07:16] Speaker A: I brought you your soap.
I brought you your soap.
[00:07:21] Speaker B: Yeah. Thank you.
[00:07:23] Speaker A: Yep. That's some real, man. And when I tell you that shit.
[00:07:26] Speaker B: Was expensive, well, nigga, you was tipping the whole country.
You got it, bro.
[00:07:34] Speaker A: When I tell you that shit was expensive, I'm like.
She was like, yeah. Cause it fuck you up. Because I'm using the currency calculator in my phone. And so she be like, it'd be 1500. I'm like, I wasn't gonna. I was about to call her.
[00:07:50] Speaker B: You about to call her something.
[00:07:52] Speaker A: I was like, what? I'm like, oh, let me do it. It was like, oh, okay. It's like, you know, 40 bucks. So I'm like, all right, I ain't tripping.
[00:07:58] Speaker B: But that's how much it costs out here.
[00:08:00] Speaker A: For real?
[00:08:01] Speaker B: For the one we go to.
[00:08:03] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. So, but this is like, from them, like, you know what I'm saying? So I was just. I don't know, it was interesting. And then also the other thing about South Africa, what I really enjoyed was the weather. Like their.
Our winter is their summer. Kind of like the Caribbean, I guess.
But they said their winter still be like 65 degrees, so it's low key, like LA.
[00:08:27] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:08:28] Speaker A: And so I'm like, nigga, I could just post up out here.
And so I was telling them, like, yeah, I'm gonna be back for sure. Like, I'm really glad I took this trip.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: What does the, like, the air and the atmosphere smell like?
[00:08:40] Speaker A: It just. I can't tell you what it smell like, but I could tell you the air is definitely way more pure.
[00:08:45] Speaker B: You know how when I could breathe.
[00:08:47] Speaker A: Way more, like, I don't know, it's just different. It's really good.
[00:08:50] Speaker B: You know how when you leave where we live and then you go to the east side, you can smell that you on the east side.
Like, you can tell the difference from. From here and there.
[00:09:00] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. It's the air quality is, like, really, really good. I remember looking into the. I looked at the map one time and it was just all green and it was just, you know, really good. But I don't know if. I don't know how to explain it, but everywhere it's. This is gonna sound crazy to people who don't know what I'm talking about, but whenever I travel out of the country, the clouds move way, way faster.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: Okay?
[00:09:23] Speaker A: Like, I, I don't know what the is going on in the.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: You can see them moving.
[00:09:26] Speaker A: You can see the clouds moving, like, really fast. And I don't know how to explain that or what's going on, like, but I don't know.
[00:09:34] Speaker B: How's the food fire, what you eat? Did you take any pictures? I wish you could have been dropping a flick in the group chat.
[00:09:41] Speaker A: Yeah, n. I took some pictures. I took some pictures. I, I, I, I'll show you some pictures. Okay. I'm pescatarian, so I'm ordering the big stupid fish with the head on it. And it was like, big. So they have a fish out there called King Clip, right?
I don't know what fish this is. So when I go in there. Cause I'm American, I'm ignorant. So I go in there and I'm like, yo, you know, can I have fish? And they're like, oh, yeah, we have King clip for you. And I'm like, king clip? What the fuck is that? And they're like, it's a white fish. Soon as I hear white fish, and I'm looking at, okay, it's not like a million dollars for the fish. I'm like, oh, this tilapia. That's, that's, yeah.
[00:10:25] Speaker B: Do it taste like they just caught it fresh?
[00:10:28] Speaker A: But in my mind, I'm automatically thinking, they serving. It's not tilapia. It's like a really good, clean white fish. And so I ate that pretty much the whole time I was there. I had big, big, like, what's that? Crab leg? I had big lobster. And the food is so cheap. I'm about to. I took a picture of this receipt. I mean, not a picture. I have this receipt I want to show you.
And oh, I'm gonna say this for the camera. I went to South Africa on a business trip. This was not vacation. This was a business trip. I went out there to have meetings and corporate relation conversations.

Remember I took Desiree to WWE. She is so into all of that. So remember how you was explaining the game to me? Yeah, Desiree had to explain the game to me. And it was times where I was watching and trying to record something from my story. I'm recording, like this on this side. The ball over there.

[00:23:27] Speaker B: Healthy fats. That's what I meant to say. Healthy fats. And yeah, yeah, I got some Healthy fats. It ain't BBL like looking yet, but I'm definitely on the verge of getting BBL allegations. They saying I got veneers, too.
That's what they said on TikTok.

[00:23:51] Speaker A: I got five.
You know what?
[00:23:53] Speaker B: I'm sitting there, but yeah, I didn't do too much. I have been trying to stick to my New Year's resolutions, which is okay. So, you know, I'm writing a book.
[00:24:06] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:24:07] Speaker B: I still can't tell what it is until I, you know, really get close, closer to it or whatever, but I am about, like, maybe 40% is probably like 40% complete. Just the. The text part, not the actual design of it.
Remember I told you I bought a new Bible?
So there's a schedule in the back of the Bible to read the Bible in a year.
So I've been reading my Bible every night.
[00:24:31] Speaker A: Where you at?
[00:24:32] Speaker B: I'm on Genesis, chapter 11.
But I, I, I done came in there more confused than I was before I pulled up, and it's like, it's me. And they was just talking about it earlier. It's.
We can talk about it another day. But I have been reading it sober, and I've been reading it so scared and lost that I cannot chew a gummy because I'm scared for my mind to go further than it's going sober, you know? But, yeah, that's my New Year's resolution.
Also, I am trying to keep weaves out of my hair.
[00:25:10] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:25:10] Speaker B: Cause my little hair grew.
[00:25:12] Speaker A: What about heat?
[00:25:13] Speaker B: Nah, I need my heat. You gotta pick something.
It's not the 80s now. Nigga, I'm not walking here with a natural. You gotta.
[00:25:21] Speaker A: Hey, what if you. Okay. Would you ever do a fro?
[00:25:25] Speaker B: Hell no.
[00:25:27] Speaker A: You would be. Y' all would look crazy.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: I don't know what they was thinking back then. And I don't know how they got. They froze to be so, like, bushy. Because when you blow dry your hair, it's.
It's like straight still, you know? Like, I don't know if maybe the heat too much or, you know, they.
[00:25:40] Speaker A: Didn'T make blow dry and froze for who?
[00:25:42] Speaker B: What was they doing?
[00:25:43] Speaker A: Nigga, just nothing. You pick that motherfucker.
You just comb. You just pick it.
[00:25:49] Speaker B: But how do you dry it after you wash it?
[00:25:51] Speaker A: They wasn't. I don't Know if they wash it.
[00:25:53] Speaker B: See, then you had to wash your hair eventually. And then it's like how you lay on it, you know, Like.
[00:25:59] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:25:59] Speaker B: I don't know. I definitely wasn't made for the 80s.
Like, for.
[00:26:03] Speaker A: For sure.
[00:26:03] Speaker B: But yeah, that's all. I think that was all my New Year's resolutions.
[00:26:08] Speaker A: What are yours, man?
I am trying to be consistent with my workouts.
I'm trying to get really consistent with my workouts. I'm trying to really dive into this sleep thing. And even though I don't like to sleep because my brain don't turn off, like, I'd just be coming up with ideas and I'll be figuring out ways to make money and just ideas for the show. And so I'm trying to be intentional about sleep. And I'm trying to be more adamant about my workouts no matter where I am. Because that be my excuse. I'm not at home, I can't work out. It's like, nigga, put some extra clothes in your bag. Like, you know what I'm saying?
So that ain't really an excuse. Low key.
And then even when I'm traveling, I feel like I need to be more adamant. Cause when I go out of town, that be my other man. I ain't even working out. But every hotel got a gym, right?
[00:27:02] Speaker B: That's true.
[00:27:03] Speaker A: And then low key, now that I done got. I done got these Delta points up. Delta got showers in the lounge.
[00:27:09] Speaker B: What?
[00:27:10] Speaker A: What? Nigga? I took a hot ass shower when I was in Atlanta.
Yeah. And it's like that.
[00:27:15] Speaker B: All right, just tell me the truth. Like, don't. Do not sit here and lie to me. I want you to tell me the truth. Did you take a shower because you needed to, or you took a shower just because you a nigger and you just wanted to use a shower in Delta?
[00:27:28] Speaker A: I just. Well, the first one I took. Cause I just wanted to see.
I was like.
I was in there, you know, like, making my little plate. And it's like, y' all got showers in this motherfucker.
Cause now I'm think, I ain't gonna lie. I'm one of them people who, like, if I feel like I go to the doctor and I don't need to. Cause I'm paying $800 a month in health insurance.
[00:27:54] Speaker B: I need to get you in the county, bruh.
[00:27:57] Speaker A: They won't accept me.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: You gotta lie a little bit.
[00:28:02] Speaker A: They won't accept. I done applied for county for three years. And they keep saying, man, give me.
[00:28:07] Speaker B: Your law again, man.
[00:28:08] Speaker A: Mr. Drake, I know I'll be trying to get on Obama, Medicare, Medi Cal, nigga, somebody throw me a bone. But nobody trump is like, fuck you and go to hell. So anyway, yeah, I be going running blood panels, nigga. One time I went to the lab. I didn't even go to my doctor. I was so hot. I was over there by Cedars Sinai in Beverly Hills, and I drove. You know how it's this big Cedars Sinai building, and I just rolled past that motherfucker, and they had just hit me for 800.
And I'm like, you know what? I'm finna go in here and run some labs. Nigga, y' all got me fucked up.
[00:28:46] Speaker B: What you tell him you need, bro?
[00:28:47] Speaker A: I just walked into the lab, and I was just like, no appointment, nigga.
[00:28:52] Speaker B: You didn't have a doctor referral or nothing?
[00:28:54] Speaker A: No referral. I just walked in that motherfucker. They was like, how can I help you? I said, yeah, I'm here to run labs.
They was like, do you have a referral? I said, no, But I talked to the doctor, like, previously about getting labs done. And they was like, yeah, all you have to do is go to the lab. And they were like, are you sure? Then somebody went in the back, and I guess they came back, like, 20 minutes later. I was like, okay, we're gonna run your labs for you.
You know, we check. We'll just send it to the doctor. We don't have a referral for you. We don't have any paperwork. But we see you in the system from previous. I was like, yeah, they run them same ones. I said, they know, man. I was hot, nigga. They hit me for 800. It was like a random Wednesday, but that's who I am.
[00:29:32] Speaker B: Hey, no, but for real, all bullshit aside, I feel like insurance and. Okay, okay. So now that you pay out of pocket, tell me this. When you do your taxes, do you get a refund for that?
[00:29:45] Speaker A: You don't get a refund.
[00:29:46] Speaker B: You don't get a refund. Right, Because I know you can get a fine. If you don't have health insurance, they'll charge you.
[00:29:51] Speaker A: Unless. If you have a business, if you have a company, llc, and you're doing real business to your company and you are an employee of your company, which means you're on payroll, then you can write off your insurance.
[00:30:03] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:30:04] Speaker A: But most niggas ain't doing payroll. Like, you have to sign up like, Gusto or like a payroll, like QuickBooks. If you sign up For a payroll, which is another 50 or $40 a month, and pay yourself a salary out of your company, then you can write off your shit. But ain't nobody like. I'm not finna pay these niggas 800 and then pay these niggas $40 so I can write off the 800. Like, I'm just. You know what I'm saying? I'm finna just run blood panels.
[00:30:27] Speaker B: But you can get back that 812 times.
[00:30:31] Speaker A: I think it's a fraction of it. You can't do it.
[00:30:32] Speaker B: Just a percentage.
[00:30:33] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like what your employer cover half of your shit or whatever. That's how it works.
[00:30:38] Speaker B: Well, what I did, I had in my head.
[00:30:39] Speaker A: Nah, that ain't.
[00:30:40] Speaker B: Cause I feel like by the time. The end of the year or something, if I didn't use it.
[00:30:44] Speaker A: You want that back?
[00:30:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:30:45] Speaker A: That car insurance, it don't work like that.
[00:30:47] Speaker B: Renter's insurance.
[00:30:48] Speaker A: That's why it's a scam.
[00:30:49] Speaker B: Give me a Ponzi scheme.
[00:30:51] Speaker A: Yeah, it don't work like that.
[00:30:54] Speaker B: Nah.
I'm actually not mad at you going to run labs. Cause I've been thinking that I need to go do it. I have. Not to get all serious and stuff, but there's been about three or four girls that I've either grown up with or that I just know just on some, like, LA shit who have been diagnosed with cancer.
[00:31:14] Speaker A: For real?
[00:31:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:31:15] Speaker A: Oh, shit.
[00:31:16] Speaker B: And two of them is breast cancer.
[00:31:18] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:31:19] Speaker B: So I've been like. Me and Desiree been like, on some, like. All right. Like, we need to go. Just to go, you know, like, just to see.
[00:31:26] Speaker A: I'm trying. Listen, you got to get rid of that dairy.
That's the. That's. That. That's the one.
That dairy is the motherfucker that should be fucking black women up the fibroids and all that.
[00:31:39] Speaker B: What phone carrier do you have?
[00:31:41] Speaker A: T mobile. Oh, same T mobile. Been going. Same T mobile. Let me tell you. Oh. Let me tell you what happened.
[00:31:49] Speaker B: What happened?
[00:31:51] Speaker A: We gonna get into some hip hop.
[00:31:52] Speaker B: But did you switch your thing over?
[00:31:54] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. Oh, okay. You talking about when I went over there? Yeah, Hell, yeah. I went and got me a digital SIM card.
I ain't with them people. They was like, it's gonna be 25 cents a minute. Bet. Say less. I turned the whole phone off. I don't anybody. My mom was trying to hit me. It's like, you gotta hit. You gotta text me. If you ain't texting me, you gotta FaceTime. FaceTime. Me and that's when I'm on the Wi Fi. Yeah, other than that. Go yourself.
[00:32:22] Speaker B: Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that.
[00:32:24] Speaker A: 25 cent a minute is crazy. Crazy in 20, 25.
[00:32:27] Speaker B: That's like back in the day when you used to have to buy them phone cards. Remember that? We used to have to buy phone cards.
[00:32:32] Speaker A: But I remember like, why is it still 25 cent a minute?
[00:32:36] Speaker B: Cuz they probably ain't switched over over there.
And I think there are international carriers.
[00:32:43] Speaker A: There are. That's who I, I got a, I got this SIM card thing where you could switch it, whatever country you go to now. So yeah, I did that for sure, I did that. But they, they, I was thinking, well, a couple people had Verizon and they shit was booming over there.
T mobile was cool. But the Verizon people, I think they had faster Internet service.
[00:33:03] Speaker B: You know, Verizon got all them people behind them.
[00:33:06] Speaker A: What people?
[00:33:07] Speaker B: You never seen a commercial?
[00:33:08] Speaker A: Oh yeah.
[00:33:08] Speaker B: With all them people. But okay, so I don't know what happened, but this week Verizon customers all lost service and people was comparing it to the movie Leave the World Behind.
[00:33:25] Speaker A: Oh, do remember when. Yeah, and they was crashing the Teslas.
[00:33:28] Speaker B: And some Teslas just was crashed. I've seen that too.
That was, that was probably like earlier this week. I seen a.
[00:33:33] Speaker A: You know, Obama's a producer on that movie.
[00:33:35] Speaker B: Uhhuh.
[00:33:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:33:36] Speaker B: Yeah. They trying to tell us something but the. So reports start circulating and stuff and they said AT and T. T Mobile and Verizon customers do not have cellular.
Cellular signal.
T Mobile hopped on Twitter and said, not us. Yeah, we good, we good over here.
[00:33:53] Speaker A: I saw them retweet Verizon.
[00:33:54] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:33:57] Speaker A: I love corporate pettiness.
[00:33:59] Speaker B: I love it, I love it. Please continue to hire the young people to run social media. I love the back and forth with the company.
[00:34:07] Speaker A: They retweeted Verizon was like, yeah, we are our customers. Good. Yes, we straight. I like also the, the CEO of T Mobile, he be creating content and shit.
[00:34:18] Speaker B: Oh really?
[00:34:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I fuck with him. He like this radical wild like old white dude, but he like, like he looked like a dusty white dude, but he like just a wild like liberal type nigga. I fuck with him.
But yeah, I like I'm very satisfied with my T Mobile service.
[00:34:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I was, I was happy. But there has been times where like T Mobile did like, you know, like shut down and stuff. But what I find funny is when something shuts down, how everybody comes to Twitter to complain about it. Like when instagram be down and stuff like that.
[00:34:46] Speaker A: I mean, that's where people go. Like, if it's an earthquake. Earthquake or fires or, like, low key is the fastest way that information travels.
[00:34:54] Speaker B: And to be real with you, since I was like, I've been on Twitter for so long, I don't know what.
[00:34:59] Speaker A: I would do without Twitter.
[00:35:01] Speaker B: Because this is what I was thinking.
I don't know what Trump is doing, but I don't know if we in the middle of about to go to war. In the middle. I don't know what the hell's going on. He kidnapping niggas.
[00:35:11] Speaker A: He did.
[00:35:12] Speaker B: I don't know what's going on. So I was thinking, I'm like. Cause I was about to ask Twitter, like, are we at war? Cause I haven't been an adult for that long, so I don't even know what to do in the instance that we go to war. Like, what do what should be in my emergency box, you know?
[00:35:30] Speaker A: Did you go get your gun license?
[00:35:32] Speaker B: No, I didn't.
[00:35:32] Speaker A: Okay, so bet. So then you ain't gotta worry about that right now.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: I'm not hopping in the war, though.
[00:35:36] Speaker A: No.
No, what I'm saying.
[00:35:41] Speaker B: Yeah, tell me why you asked me. I'm just letting y' all know right now, if some shit go down, do not look for me to shoot.
I'm hiding.
[00:35:49] Speaker A: You not gonna get off in a war. You gotta swing for A and T, bro.
[00:35:54] Speaker B: It's a war. Have you ever been in a riot?
[00:35:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:35:57] Speaker B: You been in a.
What is it called when everybody fighting a royal rumble.
So imagine a war with everybody shooting and stabbing.
[00:36:06] Speaker A: Yeah, well, there ain't no stabbing.
[00:36:08] Speaker B: You don't know what it is.
[00:36:09] Speaker A: It's all shoot.
[00:36:10] Speaker B: Machetes.
[00:36:11] Speaker A: They be shooting. A lot of shooting. But, yeah. No, the reason I asked is because you have to have your little kit. So I got my little box with my stuff in it, and it got my shit. It got it, you know, but you don't. There's nothing really for you to do. Like, in your line of. In your world, there's really nothing for you to do.
[00:36:31] Speaker B: But how do I prepare? Do I just sit at home and watch Netflix while it's a war going.
[00:36:35] Speaker A: On on Century, I can't tell you what to do. I can tell you what not to do.
[00:36:39] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:36:40] Speaker A: Don't post selfies and shit.
[00:36:42] Speaker B: Well, we probably not gonna have Internet.
[00:36:44] Speaker A: Yeah, but we probably will. But, like, it's like, I be seeing, like, it be like during the fires, right when we had the fires out here. I seen LA Influenced Girls like, get ready with me as I go out to the Beverly Center. It's like, bitch, the Beverly center burning up.
[00:37:03] Speaker B: And they dog son shot a video in front of a house burning.
[00:37:10] Speaker A: Hey, you know what I'm saying? It be certain shit. I don't know what you should do, but there's certain shit not to do.
[00:37:17] Speaker B: Okay, as long as I know that I'm not alone with the rest of the adults that don't know what to do.
[00:37:22] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Nah, people don't know what to do.
[00:37:24] Speaker B: But we wasn't prepared for this.
[00:37:25] Speaker A: And it's nothing that you really can do in that instance other than like, make sure you out water and stuff in case something really gets okay.
[00:37:33] Speaker B: So also, while we was gone, you don't understand how mad I was that we was gone when this happened.
[00:37:37] Speaker A: What? When?
[00:37:38] Speaker B: The let's Rap about it podcast dropped.
[00:37:40] Speaker A: A diss track to 56 now. Okay, so what was your first? Cause Fab dropped his shit first. At least I saw Fab's first. I didn't see Mayno and Jim Jones. I didn't see their. I didn't see their versions of records. I only thought. I thought Fab was the only one that jumped up.
[00:38:00] Speaker B: Well, so I watch the show every week, so I get a notification. So when it dropped on the YouTube channel, I went to go watch it, and I had to been like, one of the, like, first 40 viewers or whatever. So I go to Twitter, I'm like, nobody not talking about this. Like, you know, like, you know, like, what's going on? So I said, fuck it. I'm about to clip it. So I clipped, obviously, Fab's my favorite rapper. So I clipped fabulous part or whatever. And then, you know, it was going up and stuff. But first initial thoughts.
I couldn't believe that they.
Okay, Them rapping over all his beats was just so direct that it's like. Because when you listen to Jim Jones and Mayno and Dave East, Cecilia east, you don't really know if it's a diss or not, you know, but it's like, okay, I'm listening to the beats. But they kind of gave me. Like, I said, I watched the show. So when I'm watching the show, they didn't give me that. They was trying to go to war with him for real. They kind of gave, like, man, it's not that we was talking about documentaries, you know, we not trying to beef with you as much as, like, he was, you know, like how he was antagonizing them and stuff. But, boy, when I got to that last verse.
I said, okay, this is definitely a diss. Yeah, this. This is definitely. He said. He said.
He. What'd he say?
[00:39:15] Speaker A: What'd he say?
[00:39:16] Speaker B: He said, them window shoppers wouldn't cop nada.
He said, how niggas pulling cars like we don't got wallets. Yeah, Fabulous was from the head to the top to the toe. The top's product. And I don't know what the. It was hard. Everything he said was hard. What did he say, niggas? He said, I got power. Your shorty got hot showered.
[00:39:36] Speaker A: Yeah, he.
[00:39:37] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness. It was just so good.
[00:39:39] Speaker A: I think. I don't know Fab personally. I've talked to him before, and I don't know Jim personally. I've talked to him, I think, before, but I know Eats, and I would love to know if they all recorded. And then it was like, yeah, Fab gonna go last.
[00:39:53] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:39:54] Speaker A: You think so?
[00:39:54] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:39:55] Speaker A: Or it just happened that way. Because I think they was like. I think they got all they shit together and was like, all right, that's the last verse.
[00:40:05] Speaker B: I think they know, like, as a unit what Fabolous is gonna do.
[00:40:09] Speaker A: Oh, so they already. Before they recorded, you think he was.
[00:40:12] Speaker B: Like, I think they know with Fab. Like, Fabulous. I have not heard of bad Fab first, right? So I think they just knew what Fabolous was gonna do. And to be honest, Fabolous, out of all of them, Fabulous, is the one who has dropped the least as of recent.
[00:40:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:40:26] Speaker B: So he's the most anticipated verse. You know, Davies just dropped a project. He dropped two projects, I believe.
[00:40:32] Speaker A: Or three.
[00:40:33] Speaker B: I think he dropped three last year. And he added one of his.
The east mix. He added that to DSPS recently, and, you know, it's been on SoundCloud and stuff like that. So we've been getting consistency from all of them outside of, you know, fabless or whatever. But what did you think about just. Just the whole situation in general?
[00:40:54] Speaker A: Well, again, I saw Fabs first, so I didn't know that it was a whole thing. Like, I didn't know that everybody was responding. So I thought I was like, oh, shit, okay, Fab. I thought he was just on a Dolo mission. And so as he's on a dolo, I gave him more credit because I'm thinking like, oh, Fab is just jumping off the porch by himself. And he like, fuck it, I'm gonna get mine off.
Then when I noticed that it was a collaborative effort, I'm like, oh, this is good. Like, I Like this as a response. Cause it's like, n. Hold up, N.
We all rappers here. All of us can rap. Like, let's rap about it. And I just thought that that was really, really good. I don't. Again, I'm not advocating for nobody to have no smoke with Curtis 50 Cent Jackson. I don't want no smoke with Curtis 50 Cent Jackson.
[00:41:45] Speaker B: Fuck that. Get in the booth.
[00:41:47] Speaker A: But this is really good.
[00:41:51] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:41:51] Speaker A: This is really, really.
It was so good. And it was direct as fuck.
But it was tastefully disrespectful. Like, it wasn't like you and your baby mama and, you know, like all. Like, that's why your son. It wasn't like none of that. It was.
[00:42:07] Speaker B: I got power. Your shorty got hot showered.
[00:42:10] Speaker A: Yeah.
Like, it was like a diss record. It was a. It was a. It was a real diss record.
[00:42:16] Speaker B: But this is the thing that I feel like people sleep on. And maybe I just picked this up because I'm a fan of Fabulous. This is not the first time that he said something slick on the song in regards to 50 Cent. So do you remember when Empire was out and 50 was going at.
Who did Empire? Is that Lee Daniels?
[00:42:36] Speaker A: Empire, yeah.
[00:42:37] Speaker B: Yeah, that's Lee Daniels.
[00:42:38] Speaker A: Right.
[00:42:38] Speaker B: So it was like some back and forth between.
[00:42:40] Speaker A: Yeah. When they was beefing.
[00:42:41] Speaker B: Yes. Fab said, trying to build an empower Niggas in power wanna hate.
He said that it's on Friday. It's on Friday night mixtapes. Friday night freestyles. I mean.
[00:42:54] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:42:55] Speaker B: Trying to build an empower N in power wanna hate. Whoa. What, you mad cause I'm fucking your bird? You know, I put it in my waist like I'm tucking the shirt.
[00:43:01] Speaker A: Do him and Fab have previous history or anything? I don't know, because I don't see them crossing paths like that. Like, fifth is from Queens, Jamaica, Queens, and Fab is from Brooklyn.
And most of the time they'd be from the same borough where they usually see. You would usually see that kind of tension. But I don't remember them ever having a back and forth or anything like that.
[00:43:24] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know. But then when I think about it, I don't know if I ever seen a picture of them together.
[00:43:28] Speaker A: Me either.
[00:43:30] Speaker B: Like, I don't. I don't know. But any of them. Like, I don't know. I. I really don't know. Now I could just not remember. But I feel like I've seen Fabulous at Premieres for Power.
[00:43:40] Speaker A: Right.
I wonder. I think I've seen Mayno with Fifth before, maybe. I don't. Don't quote me on that.
[00:43:46] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I. I literally don't know, but I'm right.
[00:43:50] Speaker A: I don't think I've ever seen a picture of them. Yeah, that's crazy. I never thought about that.
[00:43:53] Speaker B: Now, the question I have for you is why has.
Why do you think social media is not having the same energy for 50 as they did for everybody else that's been dissed within these last two years?
[00:44:05] Speaker A: As far as what?
[00:44:05] Speaker B: Like, what do you mean responding?
[00:44:07] Speaker A: Oh, not pressuring 50 to respond.
[00:44:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:10] Speaker A: This is gonna sound disrespectful, and I'm just answering the question. I don't think people look at 50 like a rapper no more.
[00:44:16] Speaker B: Mm. But he did just drop a song.
[00:44:19] Speaker A: He drops songs all the time. He do all his own theme songs. He do all his own theme songs to his TV shows. 50 Cent is a rapper. He's a goaded rapper. 50.
I think the perception, though, is people don't look at him like a rapper in competition, in rap. Like, they look at him like, oh, 50 is a TV executive now. He's a creative producer. Like, I don't think people look at him for the response.
[00:44:41] Speaker B: So as a rapper, how do I beef with him?
[00:44:43] Speaker A: That's just my hypothesis.
[00:44:45] Speaker B: Yeah, no, that's what. But, like, as a rapper, though, with that. Like, how do I beef with him? Because the way you beef with the rappers is to get in the booth.
[00:44:54] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree with you. But if you think about it, Fif ain't dissed nobody on a record in a long time. Like, he's transitioned to this.
So I don't necessarily know if people are expecting him to rap because that's not how he's responded in the past, even with all of his adversaries like him. And he dissed Ja Rule back in the day, and then he dissed Fat Joe, and then he dissed a couple other people, but he never.
Like, in the new era. Shit, you haven't heard a 50cent diss record.
[00:45:25] Speaker B: I want 50cent how to rob to come outside.
[00:45:29] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:45:30] Speaker B: That's what I want. I want 50 Cent how to rob. And I could be talking too much right now. Fuck it, we here. He's already tweeted it. I heard he already responded. 50 did, and it's very, very disrespectful.
[00:45:41] Speaker A: See, I don't necessarily want that. 50.
[00:45:44] Speaker B: 50.
[00:45:44] Speaker A: At this level of petty, dog, it's just rap.
[00:45:50] Speaker B: And if y' all rapped at me first, I can say, I Can get disrespectful.
[00:45:54] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree with you.
[00:45:54] Speaker B: Cause y' all rapped.
[00:45:55] Speaker A: I agree with you.
[00:45:56] Speaker B: And I'm telling you, Fab done took a shot already in 2000. What was that? 16 when Friday Night Freestyles came out? 2015, 2016, I think 17.
[00:46:07] Speaker A: Okay, so tell me how this goes then. If 50 responds, I don't think he goes at it with all four of them.
No, it's gonna be Fab.
[00:46:15] Speaker B: It's fabulous.
[00:46:16] Speaker A: Okay, so then, so now what? Like, Fab responds? Fab has not been outside.
[00:46:23] Speaker B: Fabulous. Don't need to be outside.
Cause you just saw what he did, and all that was. Was a warmup. Yeah, that was like a this where we going type of thing. You get what I'm saying? Like, that was like a this. Something light. That was light. It was hard for Fab. Great lyrics. Everything top tier bar. But that was light. A light diss track, because that still can be spent as if we're on some, like, just wordplay.
I got power, your shorty got high. Shower. The window shop is wooden Cobnada.
He said something. Dang. I can't think of the lyrics right now, but he has different lyrics and stuff in there that it could just be viewed as just wordplay, not disrespectful.
[00:47:08] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:47:08] Speaker B: I think once he's disrespected. Cause he haven't been disrespected. They thought that was funny, that he was calling squatters and stuff. That shit is funny. Y' all didn't pay the rent. That's funny. Calling the nigga squatters for not paying the rent is funny?
[00:47:18] Speaker A: Why are they shooting at his studio?
That's the better question.
You know, this nigga, like, you know how he is.
Why are you shooting at his studio?
[00:47:29] Speaker B: Wait, what you mean whose studio?
[00:47:31] Speaker A: Wasn't they at 50 Cent Studio?
[00:47:32] Speaker B: No, 50 was gonna buy it.
[00:47:35] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:47:37] Speaker B: He was talking to the landlord.
[00:47:38] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:47:41] Speaker B: He was talking to the landlord, nigga.
[00:47:44] Speaker A: That makes more sense. Cause the whole time when he was complaining about them, I'm like, if it's his studio, I understand why he complaining about them paying the rent.
Okay.
[00:47:54] Speaker B: No, no, no, no. And then they tease him with. And they named it Squatter rights Freestyle.
[00:48:00] Speaker A: No, that's funny.
[00:48:02] Speaker B: That is funny.
[00:48:03] Speaker A: But to your point, you know what I just thought about when you said you haven't seen a picture of them?
50 partnering with Cam' Ron makes more sense now, because obviously the dipset thing, right? So now, to me, everything is kind of making more sense because you got Cam and Mace and you got 50.
And then you got Jim and Mano and Fab and everybody else over here.
I don't know. It's interesting. I mean, this is New York business. I ain't got nothing to do with this shit, but it's great for the culture.
[00:48:36] Speaker B: He said.
He said the blick like a magic stick. Your top walla, Ruth gone.
Dre and Snoop in the drop parlor screaming, let me ride them. Youngest is diabolic.
They would leave your whip leaning like them youngest pop hydraulics.
[00:49:14] Speaker A: Listen.
Okay, so tell me what you think is gonna happen.
[00:49:20] Speaker B: I think, I think. Okay, so Uncle Martyr dropped the wrap up.
[00:49:23] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:49:24] Speaker B: I think 50 is being strategic here, and I think he's going to drop a response when it makes sense.
[00:49:32] Speaker A: Because now album or something.
[00:49:34] Speaker B: I don't know. I don't know.
Just whenever it makes sense. Because now we done added Clarissa and Papoose to the group chat.
[00:49:42] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know how that happened.
[00:49:43] Speaker B: Because Papoose teased a Diss track against 50. Yes.
[00:49:49] Speaker A: That's random, though.
[00:49:50] Speaker B: No, it's not random. 50 been going at Papoose and Clarissa.
You was in Ghana.
[00:49:56] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I was in South Africa.
[00:49:57] Speaker B: You was in South Africa.
[00:49:59] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, yeah.
[00:50:00] Speaker B: You was on that SIM card.
[00:50:01] Speaker A: Yeah, right. That's right.
Okay. Cause I did miss. I. I saw the. The Clarissa Shields thing and I was like, why is he going to Clarissa Shields? I didn't. I didn't understand how that happened.
[00:50:12] Speaker B: Now, I don't know what, like, I don't know what's, like, how every. I kind of. By the time I got into it and seen it, it was Clarissa responding to what he had already been saying and stuff. And then Papoose had teased the, you know, the diss track or whatever. So.
[00:50:27] Speaker A: Got you.
[00:50:28] Speaker B: Now it's either going to be two diss tracks or a longer one. Cause I thought that we was going to get some bars on the wrap up on Uncle Marty's rap up, but we didn't.
[00:50:42] Speaker A: Okay, so let me ask you a question from a let's put rap aside for a second.
Why is 50 beefing with the let's Rap About It?
[00:50:53] Speaker B: Okay.
You want the storyline, the timeline.
[00:50:56] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:50:57] Speaker B: Okay, so the Diddy doc drops. Yes, and let's Rap about it podcast was talking about the Diddy documentary, and they was having a conversation about you being a public figure and people automatically being able to make documentaries and things about you.
[00:51:12] Speaker A: Right.
[00:51:12] Speaker B: So they was explaining like, basically anybody can do it as a public figure. It's your likeliness, whatever, you know, like, they can create documentaries about you. So both, I want to say Fab and Jim was like, how are you able to just do that? Like, just in general, not talking about 50, but just talking about being able to just do it in general.
From there, 50 cent starts going in on them.
This is followed by act and may not going back and forth as well.
So from there, they done called you done called the landlord, and that's when the squatter stuff started happening, the squatter allegations.
[00:51:52] Speaker A: So because they were talking about it on the podcast, 50 felt away and tried to buy the studio.
[00:51:58] Speaker B: I don't think he was really gonna buy it. I think he was just trolling them.
[00:52:01] Speaker A: Okay. So he was trolling them because they were talking.
[00:52:04] Speaker B: Cause they was talking about it.
[00:52:05] Speaker A: Okay. So. Okay. And then after that, they dissed him.
[00:52:10] Speaker B: Yeah, but this could be some, like, internal stuff that they got going on.
[00:52:13] Speaker A: That we don't even know about.
[00:52:14] Speaker B: You know how it's like, I don't wanna put this on them, but I mean, we having a conversation.
You know how it's just certain n we not gonna talk about.
[00:52:22] Speaker A: Correct.
[00:52:22] Speaker B: On the show. Not because it's beef, but maybe we just don't fuck with them, you know? So I don't know. I don't even know if that's the scenario.
[00:52:28] Speaker A: Got you.
[00:52:29] Speaker B: But they didn't talk about it when they were discussing it. They didn't talk about it in terms of, like, it being about him. They were just speaking in general, like people being able to make documentaries about public figures.
[00:52:39] Speaker A: No, I agree with that. Because there was a book written about Nipsey. It was like an autobiography. It was unofficial autobiography written about Nipsey. And I was like, oh, this is dope. And I remember going on the radio with it and talking about it, and I ended up talking to the members, and the family was like, bro, we don't got nothing to do with that shit. We not fucking with it. And I just shut it down. I just didn't.
[00:53:03] Speaker B: I just didn't.
[00:53:03] Speaker A: Yeah, didn't engage with it. Cause that's how they felt about it. So I get it.
Okay.
Do you think 50 responds within the next, like, month? Or you think that he just gonna keep trolling? Like, you think he drops a record response?
[00:53:20] Speaker B: 50 cent is so much of a nigga. It don't matter when he respond.
Now, me, as a rap fan, I want you to respond yesterday.
[00:53:28] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:53:29] Speaker B: You know, but I just think he's so much of a nigga. Don't matter. And I think that he is so much Also in control of the algorithm, bro.
[00:53:35] Speaker A: He is 50.
[00:53:36] Speaker B: Do what he want on social media and he go at who he want.
[00:53:40] Speaker A: Not only do he do what he want, he got so many different. He's in the new street Fighter movie. That's finna come out. That's finna be one of the biggest movies of the year, like in the last two years. You know what I'm saying?
I don't. Not that he's bigger than the program.
[00:53:53] Speaker B: He low key is, though.
[00:53:55] Speaker A: No, he is the program.
He is the program. Because I was just. Who was I talking to?
I was talking to me and Silas was talking about this 50. 50 Cent is somebody who you get into a beef with. Gena Views is beef with 50 cent. 50 will not only troll the shit out of you, put all your business out on social media. When he see you fire on you, pay the fee and then produce a documentary about your ass on abc.
[00:54:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:54:29] Speaker A: Like, what the fuck is that?
[00:54:32] Speaker B: Imagine beefing with a nigga so bad he do a doc on you.
Like that's. Remember we was talking about, like, rich, petty people.
[00:54:38] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:54:39] Speaker B: Like that's that rich, petty type shit.
[00:54:41] Speaker A: Go get a budget from a studio.
[00:54:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Show.
[00:54:43] Speaker A: Shoot a documentary about you making you look crazy and then put it on Netflix. Yeah, I'm cool. I don't want nothing. I don't. Cool.
[00:54:51] Speaker B: But speaking of other people that just started.
Highly anticipated rappers.
J. Cole.
[00:54:58] Speaker A: J. Cole.
[00:54:59] Speaker B: J Cole announced the date for his last album.
February 6th. The fall off.
[00:55:10] Speaker A: Okay.
I don't like when rappers do this.
[00:55:13] Speaker B: What?
[00:55:13] Speaker A: I know he's been teasing that this is his last album for a while. Like, this is.
But then, like, they get the bug again, they start rapping again, and it kind of ruins what was supposed to be the thing and only. I mean, Jay Z did it first as far as that. He's the first rapper to retire to me in my life that I remember. And then later on after that, he dropped another album. Another album. Another album. You know what I'm saying? It's like I actually believe J. Cole, but I also really, really want this album to be like the shit. Like, if it's going to be your last album, I want it to be like the best album you ever made in your life.
[00:55:54] Speaker B: I think it is.
[00:55:55] Speaker A: You think so?
[00:55:56] Speaker B: I think this is gonna be his best album. If the rest of the project is anything like Trek 2, Diss 2, the narration, the. Just the concept of it, everything they talking about, I think that this is gonna be that. I think that if he's giving Us, his last album. We're gonna find out what he been doing when he disappeared, how he's been living, what he's been going through mentally, and why this is his last album. Because in the. Did you see the beginning of the little paragraph on it?
[00:56:24] Speaker A: Yeah. The thing he wrote.
[00:56:25] Speaker B: He says that he's basically working towards. Like, he's about to show us or. No, it said. It says something. Let me just pull it up. It says something about. Basically, I'm doing everything on here that I couldn't do on my first album. I'm doing it on my last album. So I think that we're going to get a lot of venting. We're going to. I'm trying to figure out if he's single.
[00:56:46] Speaker A: What?
[00:56:47] Speaker B: He said it.
[00:56:48] Speaker A: He said what?
[00:56:49] Speaker B: He said something about taking. I took the wedding ring off her.
You didn't hear that part?
[00:56:54] Speaker A: Hell, no.
[00:56:54] Speaker B: Took the wedding ring offer. And did he talk about being in the club with.
You know, how y' all be with the hoes, y'.
[00:57:01] Speaker A: All. I be at the house.
[00:57:04] Speaker B: That bitch is not watching the show.
[00:57:05] Speaker A: You gotta take the U and the S.
I didn't pick that up because I don't have the supreme rapper brain that you have.
I did hear the part where he said about the ring, but I didn't put that together.
I thought it was like a. Maybe I'm thinking too deep, and maybe I give J. Cole too much credit, but I be thinking everything as a metaphor.
[00:57:28] Speaker B: That's what I was telling Nate earlier that.
Cause what I want to stop doing is thinking so deep into the stuff. Cause it's like I be thinking something mean, this, and you know it don't. But he literally says, I took the ring off of her. Like, he says that. And then he talks about being in the club.
Another theory that people are having. And this Nae just brought up as well, is that. Is he rapping and revealing verse?
[00:57:54] Speaker A: Ooh, I gotta read the lyrics.
Cause I just listen to the song a few times. I gotta read the lyrics to, like.
To know, like, I'm advanced, but I gotta read the lyrics reverse to see if that's what the fuck is going on.
[00:58:09] Speaker B: Well, it's him.
[00:58:10] Speaker A: No, I know that.
[00:58:10] Speaker B: No, that's what I'm saying. Like, it's like it's him. It's just no different than all this stuff that we thought Wale was talking about.
And he wasn't.
[00:58:18] Speaker A: And he wasn't.
[00:58:19] Speaker B: You know.
[00:58:22] Speaker A: That'S what I'm saying, bro.
[00:58:23] Speaker B: It's like it gets so deep it.
[00:58:25] Speaker A: Gets so deep sometimes. I be like, he be like, you know, something, something, something. And I'm like, oh, that means it. He like, no, it means something, something, something. It's like, okay, well, I'm. My bad. I'm thinking that everything's a fucking double entendre anyway.
What stands out to me, though, about this, when he announced.
He dropped the announcement trailer of the Fall off, everybody went crazy. Then he dropped the record.
I was thinking that we wouldn't. I don't know what I was thinking as far as the rollout, because here's my theory. The rollout false started when he started doing that podcast, talking about his career, him and Ibrahim, his manager and his business partner. When they dropped that podcast and they were talking about his life and his career, I thought that was the quote unquote, rollout to the Fall Off. And I thought at the end of that we would get the album. I mean, I think most people thought that. And then we didn't get the album. And so now I'm thinking, like, there isn't gonna be any, like, crazy rollout for this. I think it's just gonna be like, here you go, here you go, here you go. Boom.
[00:59:28] Speaker B: Well, you see how Twitter went crazy. He don't even really need a rollout.
[00:59:31] Speaker A: He don't. It was at 1.7 million views when I looked at it, and it was like 12, 13 hours later.
[00:59:40] Speaker B: One thing that stood out to me is the conversation. Well, not the conversation, but the dialogue from the narration and how they was talking about people falling off and stuff like that, and how everybody doesn't get a chance to be famous. I thought that that was very, very relatable because it is assumed by supporters or viewers and things like that, the fan base, that if you disappear for too long or if you stop putting out things that you've fallen off. But how about I'm just at home and I'm just needed to disconnect?
Maybe I'm socially drained. You know, it's like, I done done enough. Cause I'm gonna assume that at this point, I'm not pocket watching J. Cole, but I'm assuming at this point, he don't have to even make music no more. No, he don't. You got your label, you discover, you know, a couple artists and stuff like that. I don't know what other endeavors he may have, but I don't think that we necessarily even need him to, or he doesn't need to continue to drop music. But I also appreciate somebody who knows that my time is Over.
[01:00:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree. And I also think that Cole is not one of them. People like from. I know people that are very close to him. And the conversations that I have that they have about Cole is he's actually who you think he is. He's actually who he says he is. He's not. He don't want no smoke. He don't want no drama. He will literally leave a room if it's too much commotion or too much chaos. Kind of similar how. You know how you are. He don't like a bunch of turmoil, and that's who he is. And so when he goes in the booth, though, that's his time to express exactly how he's feeling. You'll never get a cold think piece on what he thinks about what's going on. You'll get it all on the album.
[01:01:24] Speaker B: Right.
[01:01:25] Speaker A: And so I have every submitted lyric. It says with each day that passes, I can feel my career coming. First do I took the wedding ring off her finger and now I'm single Walking up the aisle backwards to an era of dirt falling clubs Tipsy with a bitch I can see. I see clear through her skirt. See, that might be an announcement.
[01:01:51] Speaker B: Now I'm single. Right.
[01:01:52] Speaker A: That's what it sound like.
[01:01:53] Speaker B: That's why I'm like. That was very direct. Like, that's not a. Like I need to think and what this mean and flip twist and, you.
[01:02:00] Speaker A: Know, so when I listened to it, I didn't interpret it as him talking about a person. I thought he was talking about the game.
[01:02:06] Speaker B: Well, I think it matters what he said before that and right after that.
[01:02:10] Speaker A: Okay, yeah, so.
[01:02:11] Speaker B: But like it's. We. We not gonna know until we get the sit down interview. When he talk to people about, you know, like what. What it is. Well, I doubt he gonna do press for real, but we might get something to where he does his own podcast or something.
[01:02:23] Speaker A: He might do his own thing.
I don't. Never mind. I was gonna say that for no reason, but I would prefer him do. Just do one with whoever he wants just so we get some closure on.
[01:02:34] Speaker B: It is what it is.
[01:02:38] Speaker A: I don't think he gonna give his last one to Cam.
[01:02:40] Speaker B: Cause it's Cameron gonna get his verse.
[01:02:42] Speaker A: Cameron not getting that verse.
[01:02:43] Speaker B: Cameron not getting that verse.
[01:02:44] Speaker A: He's not getting that verse. He.
[01:02:45] Speaker B: Cameron need that verse.
[01:02:47] Speaker A: They need.
[01:02:48] Speaker B: They gotta get. He got to get.
[01:02:49] Speaker A: Cameron better go through with that lawsuit.
[01:02:51] Speaker B: They dismissed it.
[01:02:52] Speaker A: No, I'm saying he better re. You can appeal.
[01:02:55] Speaker B: Do it again. Yeah, he gotta get Cameron that verse, bro.
[01:02:58] Speaker A: He not Getting that verse.
[01:02:59] Speaker B: Give Cameron that verse.
[01:03:01] Speaker A: No, I'm not saying I don't want him to. Yeah, I'm just saying he not J. Cole.
[01:03:06] Speaker B: Get Cameron that verse.
[01:03:07] Speaker A: It's cold out. Cole is in the middle of his rollout of his last album. He not thinking about Cam now.
[01:03:13] Speaker B: Okay, so tell me this now.
[01:03:14] Speaker A: Cam is owed that verse, all right?
He owed a podcast or a verse.
[01:03:19] Speaker B: All right? Wishful thinking.
[01:03:21] Speaker A: Okay, but Cam owed something if we.
[01:03:25] Speaker B: Get features on the album or what?
[01:03:27] Speaker A: If cam' Ron on the album, does.
[01:03:28] Speaker B: Cam' Ron get on the album?
Does cam' Ron get his feature on the album?
[01:03:34] Speaker A: That's not a cam' Ron record, though.
[01:03:38] Speaker B: This my last album.
It is what it is.
[01:03:41] Speaker A: So you're saying, hey, Cam, instead of me coming on your podcast and instead of me giving you a verse, I'm gonna put you on my last album? And it's just we call it square.
[01:03:54] Speaker B: I'm not saying calling it square or anything. I'm saying if. When we get this album, if it is features on the album, is cam' Ron one of the features?
[01:04:04] Speaker A: Hell no. Cam not fucking with him.
I know, but now he was on the last album. But that's how all this started that way. Cause J. Cole ran off with the bag.
[01:04:19] Speaker B: All right, so you don't think they got that figured out by now?
[01:04:21] Speaker A: Nah.
[01:04:23] Speaker B: Mm, mm.
Hell no.
[01:04:26] Speaker A: You wanna know why? I don't think so.
[01:04:27] Speaker B: Why?
[01:04:28] Speaker A: Cause Cam would've told us.
[01:04:30] Speaker B: But what if it's a surprise? Like, keep it low. I'm gonna, you know.
Because it's the other thing. You already know how it work with albums either.
I don't want nothing going on. I don't want me nowhere else while my album is out. Yeah, so Cam would either need it right now or we wouldn't get it until later on. But that's technically J. Cole still dropping music after his album.
[01:04:51] Speaker A: That's why I say he not getting that album.
[01:04:53] Speaker B: So Cam' Ron not getting that verse.
[01:04:54] Speaker A: He not getting that verse.
[01:04:55] Speaker B: Well, tell us what you think.
[01:04:58] Speaker A: Is cam' Ron gonna get his?
[01:04:59] Speaker B: Is Camron getting a verse?
[01:05:00] Speaker A: Hey, somebody owe Cameron. Okay, Cameron, you get a slice of cake.
You know what I'm saying? I got a slice of cake for you because that nigga not giving you a verse.
I don't know what to tell you, bro. Like, I wish, you know, I wish. I wish he would have got the verse that would have been fire. Like just a one off Random Cameron featuring J. Cole. That would have been hard for the culture. Just we'd have talked about especially if they would have got some shit off. Yeah, because you know Cam gonna talk shit if Cole would have got some shit off. Or would it? This is how they could have did it. He would have. If he would have gave Cameron that Versi on him and announced the album on the verse.
Whoa. Whoop, whoop. Fall off a be out February. You know what I'm saying? Like, that would have gave Cam what he wanted. And that would have just boom. And now that's the rollout. Cam would have went on all of his shows and talked about that shit.
[01:05:55] Speaker B: Okay, so tell me this. Cause this was another theory. Fan theory is that J. Cole was talking about Jay Z on that one part.
[01:06:03] Speaker A: Which part?
[01:06:04] Speaker B: Or he said, so called so called.
Dang. What did he say? So, so called rap king.
[01:06:13] Speaker A: Y' all remember that part?
[01:06:14] Speaker B: So people think that that was the album.
[01:06:16] Speaker A: I could see that. But.
[01:06:20] Speaker B: My thing is, I don't see J. Cole dissing anybody on this album. Throwing no shade, no shots or anything. Considering what happened in 2024, I agree with you.
[01:06:34] Speaker A: However, I do believe that he's gonna get everything off his chest using him.
[01:06:41] Speaker B: And Jay Z beefing.
[01:06:42] Speaker A: I don't necessarily think they're beefing. Let me tell you what I really think.
[01:06:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:06:46] Speaker A: And I don't think I've ever shared this, but I think that J. Cole, and there's a couple of rappers that feel like this. Jason Cash talked about it when he was on the show one time.
There's a handful of artists who come into the rap business and think it's one way and they're let down by how it actually is. And I think J. Cole is a victim of that. I think J. Cole left Fayetteville, went up to New York, stood outside, he did the Kanye shit. He stood outside, he rapped, he did all of the shit and got into the business and got discovered. Jay Z signed him. He's like, oh, my God. And then it didn't work out how he thought it was gonna go. But as a rap fan, you think you have this. You have this ideology or this, this lore of over the business that you think is supposed to go like this because of how you see it on TV or how you saw it go for this person or that person. I think that ye is a victim of that. I think that J. Cole is a victim of that. I think that there's a couple of people. I think Kid Cudi is a victim of that. I think that certain people have this, like.
I don't know, it's like A fantasy of how the hip hop business goes. And that's not the reality. And then that in turn, I think Big Sean is a victim of that. You know what I'm saying? Big Sean had the same story as J. Cole, except instead of rapping for hov, he was rapping for.
[01:08:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[01:08:15] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? They have the same kind of origin story. And I think that when things go, that's why it's so like.
So it feels like you can tell that when they don't, it doesn't go the way they think it's supposed to go, or the person that they looked up to kind of shits on them or as you say, little girls them or whatever is so gut wrenching because it's like, oh my God. And I think that's what happens. And so I don't necessarily know if Jay Z has wronged J. Cole, but I definitely believe, and I don't have any evidence to back this up, I believe that he doesn't feel that it went the way it was supposed to go or the way he had it in his mind when he left Fayetteville. That's what I think.
[01:08:59] Speaker B: Well, I guess we'll see once we get the rest of the tracks and the two discs.
[01:09:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I can't wait.
[01:09:06] Speaker B: I think it's gonna be long too.
[01:09:07] Speaker A: You think so? I don't think so. It's two discs, but I think it's gonna be like eight and eight or.
[01:09:13] Speaker B: That's long.
Today's time.
[01:09:16] Speaker A: Yeah, that's long. But I mean, that's like artists dropping my last album.
[01:09:21] Speaker B: Yeah, that motherfucker gonna come with at least two seasons.
[01:09:27] Speaker A: Speaking of which, did you finish Power Tommy?
[01:09:30] Speaker B: One more episode.
[01:09:30] Speaker A: I mean. I mean, I finished. I mean, are you caught up on.
[01:09:33] Speaker B: I sure am.
[01:09:33] Speaker A: I waiting for Tariq to pull up on Forest.
[01:09:35] Speaker B: Yeah, by the time we drop this, the episode gonna already. Forest gonna already be out. So I will definitely be.
[01:09:41] Speaker A: I. Yeah, we gonna talk about it next week.
[01:09:43] Speaker B: I'm about to head over there to the other little booth, do my show.
[01:09:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:09:47] Speaker B: And then I'm going home.
Eat the rest of my enchiladas, kick my feet up, chew a gummy. Can't wait to see Tariq walk up. I was gonna say pull up, but yeah, they said.
Twitter said. They said 50. 50 may power. I mean 50 may 4th. Take a two week break because Tariq got a walk from New York to Chicago.
[01:10:13] Speaker A: 50 is not puff. Okay?
[01:10:16] Speaker B: Whoa.
[01:10:18] Speaker A: What? I was talking about the cheesecake where they walk to get the Cheese?
[01:10:21] Speaker B: No, because Tariq don't got up a car.
[01:10:22] Speaker A: I know, I know. I was.
[01:10:25] Speaker B: Would you go get a nigga some cheesecake?
[01:10:27] Speaker A: No.
No.
[01:10:30] Speaker B: That was just crazy.
[01:10:31] Speaker A: So you mean I'm gonna keep it a buck with you.
I went on tour with. It was me, Glass. We went on tour with a group named Potluck. They're from up north. They're from Humboldt county, the home of the weed. They grow hella weed out there.
It's the homie One Ton, he's running. The rappers, they told me what they did to get on, and I said, you know what? I don't want it that bad.
[01:10:54] Speaker B: What did they do?
[01:10:56] Speaker A: So One Ton is a big ass. Like, he's like Diesel. Like, big ass nigga, right? So he went on. They went on tour with Tech9 and them.
And to get on, he was working security for tech9. So he would walk tech9 to the venue, into his dressing room, get him secured, then go change, go out, perform, be the opening act, get off stage, go to the merch booth, sign autographs, try to sell as many T shirts as he can, and then go back, change into a security shit and escort Tec9 and work the stage while Tech9ine was performing. And then Tech9, he would walk Tech9 to his bus. Put him on his bus. Tech9 had a driver who would drive the tour bus. He would go out to his car and follow the tour bus on tour. So he couldn't even sleep going to the next city and then do it. That's how he got on. And I said, you know what? I respect the shit out of you, but I don't want it that bad. Like, I would rather just go get a job.
Yeah.
[01:11:58] Speaker B: I feel like.
I feel like in this, like, new era of.
I'm sorry, not this new era, in the, like, previous eras, like, the generations before us. Before us and stuff. I think that they made people do things that were just, like, unrealistic.
[01:12:13] Speaker A: Yes. But there was also limited resources and nothing for. There was no such thing as a social media manager. There was no such thing as, like, these things didn't exist.
[01:12:23] Speaker B: That's why I feel like even like, with the cheesecake situation, that was just, like, that's ego. And I feel like a lot of stuff, like, with your employer does stem from ego. Like, I'm gonna ask you to do something that's just crazy, unrealistic. Maybe even make you uncomfortable because I know how bad you really want this job versus our era, our generation, we, like, fuck you. I'm Just go get on TikTok or you know, like go.
Go to the next situation or, you know, like the next job. Like, we not going for that. But I feel like, like prior. Like maybe, like maybe early 2000s or something.
[01:12:54] Speaker A: I would say one generation before me, probably.
[01:12:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Like they just make people do unrealistic thing. And it was funny, as I was talking to Allison. Shout out to Allison. Allison was telling me how. Well, we were just discussing how when you're too nice to another, like an older female, they actually mean to you in the business.
Like when you too nice to somebody that's like older than you and they like been seasoned in like they're a veteran and stuff. Like, if you too nice, that's actually like, it comes off as weak.
[01:13:26] Speaker A: Oh, word.
[01:13:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, you know, treat you a way.
I ain't gonna say who, but this can't be crazy. Big network too.
Came yank me up. What are you doing on my set, girl? Hold on, back up.
What's been your craziest before we go? Oh, well, we gotta talk about Juski, but what's been your craziest experience with an employer?
[01:13:57] Speaker A: So when I worked at Burlington Coat Factory, I wasn't supposed to say the name.
When I worked at Burlington Co Factory, our store was ghetto. I worked at the store in Cerritos, okay? It was ghetto up in there. Like, the store manager was embezzling money. They came, the feds came and arrested her at the store, hit her for like 200 grand of like larceny and embezzlement and shit. It was crazy. It was ghetto. The other supervisor was knocking down one of the other people. Like, it was like. It was just like ghetto up in that motherfucker, right?
So long story short, this other supervisor, she used to. When I got arrested, she used to try to just, you know, I just walk with a certain just. I got a certain aura of bravado on me. Like I just. I could be collecting cans, but I'm still going with my chin up. Yeah, man.
One day also, I don't. I don't. I didn't wear store uniform. I don't wear button ups, you know, this I don't wear.
[01:14:55] Speaker B: She was up there in bullshit too.
[01:14:56] Speaker A: I was. I just. I go up there like this, I throw my name badge on, start helping customers backwards hat on, like. Anyway, so. And I was trying to get fired. They wouldn't fire me. So I don't know what the. If the code is the same, but if you press 3, 2, 1. At Burlington, you could talk to the Store. Yeah.
So anyway, we used. I used to do that 3, 2, 1. And just start telling mom jokes on the intercom. Just doing anything to get fired. They wouldn't fire me. So one day she tried to. Just so she wouldn't fire me. So one day she's tried to, like, belittle me a little bit. So I go downstairs to go get my go backs.
I work in the baby depot.
That's where the single moms is coming through there. So I work in the Baby Depot.
[01:15:37] Speaker B: Single moms.
Cause they was all single moms.
[01:15:42] Speaker A: I work in the single mom department. You know what I mean? You picking up what I put in. So I go downstairs to get my go backs. She gonna tell me, hey, Aaron, can you go outside please and collect the carts? And I must have looked at her. Cause that's somebody else's job.
[01:15:58] Speaker B: That's a cart monitor.
[01:16:00] Speaker A: Yeah, that's somebody else job. So I looked at her, I said, oh, yeah, for sure. I got you. I said, can you take all these go backs upstairs and put this shit back on the shelves? I'm gonna go get the carts.
[01:16:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:16:10] Speaker A: She's like, oh, no, no, that's okay. I said, yeah, exactly. That's what the fuck I thought. And I just took my go backs and went back upstairs. And then my supervisor was like, yo, I can't remember the lady name. She's Asian lady. She's like, so and so want to write you up. I'm like, why? She's like, cause you were being insubordinate. Being insubordinate.
[01:16:27] Speaker B: Insubordees.
[01:16:28] Speaker A: I was like, all right, bet. So then, yeah, I just didn't fuck with her. But she tried to do that. And, you know, I'm glad she went to jail.
No, I'm not. That's not okay. I'm not glad she went to jail.
[01:16:38] Speaker B: Oh, she went to jail.
[01:16:39] Speaker A: She went. The feds came and got her. Oh, because she was. She was stealing money out that motherfucker.
[01:16:45] Speaker B: She probably out now. They probably had her own trap queens on bet.
[01:16:49] Speaker A: She was an Asian lady. She was a piece of shit.
[01:16:52] Speaker B: When I worked at Walmart, there's been times. There were times where my HR manager, she was HR and personnel. It said HR personnel, which is basically the same thing. But she would come get me off my lunch break and make me get on the register and log into somebody else login so I can check customers out.
[01:17:12] Speaker A: Get the fuck out of here.
[01:17:13] Speaker B: And I was the customer service manager.
Oh, no. So I wasn't supposed to be on a register, bro.
[01:17:18] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[01:17:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:17:19] Speaker A: So you was technically on paper, you still in your lunch.
[01:17:22] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:17:23] Speaker A: But she logged you in on somebody else so you could work.
[01:17:25] Speaker B: Yes. It was a time where I had work seven hours straight. So the thing with Walmart, it will kick you out the system at probably like your. I think, your fifth hour. It'll kick you out. That's what it's called, your fifth hour. So once you hit your fifth hour, that's actually a meal period violation. You're not supposed to work past five hours. Every four hours, you supposed to either take a meal break or. I mean a lunch or a break or whatever.
[01:17:49] Speaker A: You gotta take your 15.
[01:17:50] Speaker B: Exactly. So if you. When you're on the. On the register or whatever, it'll literally kick you out. So it was like one of the busiest days of the year. And I think we was on inventory and stuff too. And I was on my lunch and she came out to my car and said, I need you to get on the register.
[01:18:07] Speaker A: She came out to your car?
[01:18:08] Speaker B: Yeah. So I'm like, I can't. It already kicked me out. So she was like, don't worry about it. Log logged in. Put somebody. I don't even know who. Logging. She was putting in. Put somebody logging in and made me continue to swipe. And I did not get lunch that day. And then after that, I worked like another six hours.
[01:18:25] Speaker A: What?
[01:18:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I could sue the fuck out of Walmart right now, bro. What you mean then you know about when I got robbed, bro.
[01:18:31] Speaker A: What you. What you mean?
[01:18:33] Speaker B: I don't care about them.
[01:18:34] Speaker A: You see what Tracy Morgan hit for you, right?
That was a different circumstance.
[01:18:40] Speaker B: But they say he with a new bitch in a new car every day. Yeah, yeah.
But anyway, I do wanna know if anybody have any, like, crazier employer stories, like something that your employer just made you do that was outrageous. Please tell us in the comments.
But Drew Ski is catching a lot of love and flack for his latest skit about the megachurches.
[01:19:00] Speaker A: Man, I thought that shit was comedy.
[01:19:04] Speaker B: Hilarious comedy gold. Y'. All.
Y' all weren't.
[01:19:10] Speaker A: That was just that one.
[01:19:11] Speaker B: Y' all worried about why I'm in Christian Dior? It's cause I'm a Christian walking in the blood of Jesus.
[01:19:18] Speaker A: I think that was one of his best skits.
[01:19:20] Speaker B: That was the best one. And I think that was the one with the biggest budget.
[01:19:23] Speaker A: Yeah. He was hanging from. You know how much? Never mind. We here.
That's a nice little budget for him to hang from the ceiling. You know what I'm Saying this.
[01:19:33] Speaker B: The irony, though, of the skit is the skit is talking about mega churches and pastors and, you know, things like that who are rich as a motherfucker off the congregation. Right.
Who let him use their church?
[01:19:50] Speaker A: I don't think that was a church.
[01:19:52] Speaker B: That's how the churches look.
[01:19:53] Speaker A: That is how they look. But I think that they. I think that was a. Like a set.
[01:19:57] Speaker B: Well, let's say it was a church. Okay, who let him use the church?
[01:20:03] Speaker A: Somebody who probably got a bag for it.
[01:20:05] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying.
That's literally the irony here.
[01:20:09] Speaker A: It's like somebody who got a bag.
[01:20:11] Speaker B: For it, you took the money. And then I thought it was crazy that, like, the people, like people of the church, the people that go to church and stuff, were mad about the skit. But you're not mad about who he's spoofing, the people that he's copying, you know, that he got it from.
[01:20:24] Speaker A: And the funniest part wasn't even in the church. To me, it was at the end.
[01:20:29] Speaker B: Oh.
[01:20:29] Speaker A: When he was counting money when he was in the Rolls Royce.
[01:20:32] Speaker B: Nick, you paid your ties and all.
[01:20:33] Speaker A: He was like, man, get your.
[01:20:34] Speaker B: Get your broke ass off my ass.
Hey, Drew, ski. Gotta be on the Mount Rushmore.
[01:20:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I like that he's. I like the production that's going into these skits. Cause even when the one he did where he was the white face and then he did another one that was big budget, it wasn't as big as this one, but it was another one that was like, damn, he's putting a lot of effort into this.
[01:20:57] Speaker B: Is really. When you think about it, it's like, obviously the traditional comedy, stand up comic comics are standup comics. I mean, they're the people that's on the stage telling jokes and stuff. But when you think about it, for our era, this generation, this is elevated comedy.
[01:21:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:21:12] Speaker B: You know, it's like, it's not the same as standing up on a stage and telling jokes and stuff, but this is funny as hell too. He does tours.
[01:21:18] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah, I know. I missed it. I was mad. I missed.
[01:21:21] Speaker B: He does tours.
[01:21:23] Speaker A: Matter of fact, I went to. He was here the day I went to your event.
I think what's gonna happen, though, is either Kevin Hart or somebody's gonna put together the new Saturday Night Live.
And Drew's gonna be one of the people that's gonna be part of that. Cause I don't see him going to Saturday Night Live. I mean, I think Saturday Night Live is actually coming to an End. For some reason, I don't know where I heard that from, but I don't see that many. I don't see that format lasting that long, Especially that late at night. Like, we all watch Saturday Night Live the day after on YouTube. Like, nobody stays up till midnight and watches. Not nobody. Culturally. That's not something we do as a community.
[01:22:04] Speaker B: They're not funny to me.
[01:22:06] Speaker A: That's why I think that somebody, like, I can see Drew Ski going into that universe. I can see other people, like, pretty vee. I could see those people going into those types of spaces where they're not standing on stage doing standup, but they're still doing comedy.
[01:22:20] Speaker B: Now that you said that. Cause I guess it is generations of the.
What is that? That's not skits. Like Saturday Night Live. What type of sketch?
[01:22:29] Speaker A: It's called sketch.
[01:22:30] Speaker B: Sketch comedy.
[01:22:31] Speaker A: Sketch comedy.
[01:22:31] Speaker B: So we had what in living color? Mad tv, Now Saturday Night Live.
I am curious to know why hasn't anybody came up with that idea, which you said, with all the new people that we have and then all black people.
[01:22:44] Speaker A: Well, okay.
[01:22:45] Speaker B: Or what? Maybe Wild N Out. Wild N Out kind of is that.
[01:22:48] Speaker A: Wild N Out is the new. So if Saturday Night Live and MAD TV was like traditional sketch comedy, the streamers would be wilding out. Like it's the new version of what they do. But it's like, live, and it's faster, and it's not a whole bunch of production.
[01:23:06] Speaker B: Yeah. Question for you. Have you attended a megachurch?
[01:23:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I did go to one.
[01:23:12] Speaker B: I have a bad experience. Would you like to share yours first?
[01:23:15] Speaker A: No.
[01:23:16] Speaker B: So I went to the church, and I had to been probably about like 16, 17 or something and go to the church. We go through the whole service, and it's the big one. That one on Crenshaw?
[01:23:31] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:23:32] Speaker B: What's that? Crenshaw and Obama.
[01:23:33] Speaker A: Crenshaw Christian Center.
[01:23:35] Speaker B: I don't think that's the name of it.
[01:23:36] Speaker A: Faithful Central.
[01:23:38] Speaker B: Mm. Mm.
What's the other one in Inglewood?
Cause I get them two mixed up.
[01:23:44] Speaker A: I get them mixed up.
[01:23:44] Speaker B: It's two, but you know what I'm talking about. It's two of them.
But this one, no, I'm putting them out there. This one on Crenshaw.
So I was in there, and it came time for tithes and offering.
And, you know, back in the day, when you a kid, you drop a dollar, you just put a dollar in the offering and stuff. I have never felt so broke in my life as a kid, and I feel broke. At church. The pastor said, if you gave more than $100.
Hallelujah. Stand up. Stand up. If you gave more than $200. Hallelujah. Stand up. Come to the front of the church. Come up and write if you gave more than $500.
Now, I came from one of the small churches on the corner, 101st and Avalon. The pastor wearing a robe, the choir wearing robes and stuff like that. And you give what you can.
He said, if you gave more than $100. Stand up.
I tucked up under my seat. I'm a broke kid at the end of the day. But that blew my mind.
[01:24:50] Speaker A: That's blowing my mind now.
I ain't never spent more than $100 at church.
[01:24:55] Speaker B: That blew my mind.
And that's. I ain't nevermind to this day.
You ain't never spent money at church.
[01:25:02] Speaker A: I spent money.
[01:25:03] Speaker B: Cause I remember when you asked me was it my top or my floor.
We had a conversation. You said.
You said I was crazy. Cause I gave him a little bit of money.
[01:25:10] Speaker A: I ain't never. I don't know. I don't got a comment. I don't know.
[01:25:14] Speaker B: But yeah, that kind of. That messed me up as a kid. What? Yeah.
[01:25:17] Speaker A: More than 500 at any church is crazy.
[01:25:20] Speaker B: That messed me up as a kid.
[01:25:21] Speaker A: Unless your name is Elon or Will or Trump, nigga, or Obama, I'm not paying your mortgage.
[01:25:28] Speaker B: Shit, this is not even my church. I didn't get baptized here.
[01:25:31] Speaker A: So think about this. You go to church every week. 10% of your. It's supposed to be 10% of your earnings, right? So that means you gotta be making $5,000 a week to put $500.
You're making $20,000 a month.
[01:25:46] Speaker B: We also involved with Hills, though.
[01:25:49] Speaker A: I don't even. Let me tell you something. I just started knowing people that make $20,000 a month.
[01:25:55] Speaker B: Where they at?
[01:25:56] Speaker A: N. They nigga rappers.
They go to the club.
They go to a Show and make 20 bands. Nigga, I just started knowing these niggas. I don't know nobody when I was a kid. Who made 20? My mom made. I wrote it down. Cause I'm writing a book, too. My mom made $398 a month.
[01:26:14] Speaker B: You talking about dollars on welfare. I'm used to the paper food stamps, right? They talking about ebit E.
I'm used to the paper food stamps. People is out here rich.
[01:26:25] Speaker A: 20 grand a month is crazy.
[01:26:26] Speaker B: What's your mega church story?
[01:26:29] Speaker A: It ain't necessarily. It ain't really. I mean, it's kind of. My little church was ghetto. That's why I just was like, it's all right. Oh, no, it was bad. Bad.
[01:26:38] Speaker B: That's all right.
[01:26:38] Speaker A: Oh, no, it was bad.
It got crazy.
[01:26:42] Speaker B: I like the parking lots at my church is fucked up.
Oh, I'm sorry, God. I did not mean it.
[01:26:46] Speaker A: Because this ain't got to do with those. Got to do.
It's scandal.
It's the first lady. Ain't really the first lady. It was.
[01:26:55] Speaker B: She the side piece.
[01:26:56] Speaker A: Oh, it was.
I'll tell you off air. Oh, it was what?
[01:27:00] Speaker B: It's that bad?
[01:27:01] Speaker A: What?
[01:27:02] Speaker B: Pastor Jones is not watching it.
[01:27:03] Speaker A: It wasn't Pastor Jones.
It was this and then that and then this was going on with that.
[01:27:09] Speaker B: And kind of like, what's that?
[01:27:11] Speaker A: Tyler Perry niggas walking out of church on the pastor type shit. Oh, yeah, it was.
[01:27:18] Speaker B: How long your church used to be?
[01:27:20] Speaker A: Too long to the point where nigga gotta leave and eat dinner.
[01:27:26] Speaker B: Cause why was we doing.
Why was we doing eight hour shifts at church?
[01:27:31] Speaker A: I don't know.
[01:27:31] Speaker B: It ain't. Hey, praise the Lord. Hallelujah.
[01:27:34] Speaker A: But, hey, you know what they seem to start doing? You know what? We could probably make it ain't that.
[01:27:40] Speaker B: Much worship for eight hours.
[01:27:43] Speaker A: You know, we could probably make some money.
No, listen, hear me out.
[01:27:47] Speaker B: Close the door.
[01:27:48] Speaker A: Hear me out, okay? This is my last thing. This is my last thing.

[01:28:41] Speaker B: I think they do.
[01:28:42] Speaker A: No, they ain't got no video hotline for pastors.
[01:28:44] Speaker B: It might not be the pastor. It's gonna be the deacon.
[01:28:47] Speaker A: Nah, I won't.
