Speaker 4: Man?

66
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 7: Literally a year ago around this time, we were trying

67
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 7: to make it happen.

68
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: You know.

69
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, schedules just was crazy. It just was not a line.

00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 5: Uh so this controversy talking about like what's the biggest

74
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 5: thing y'all? Y'all y'all faced, Like.

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, drink to that ship.

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 9: What we had we had, The Call of Three is

77
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 9: not a classic album.

78
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: We had.

79
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 9: The most recent one was Outcast would lose the clips

80
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 9: and the versus we had. We had the unpopular opinion

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 9: that that nineties hip hop makes it impossible for any

82
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 9: other era to really succeed because the ball was too high.

83
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 7: We've got a few I gotta I gotta go back

84
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 7: and check them out. But we had a few.

85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah that's un or some heat, you know.

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 9: But at the end of the day, everything is within

87
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 9: the guise of a music argument.

88
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,559
Speaker 7: We're not here to be shot jocks.

89
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 9: We just feel like when it comes to music, especially

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 9: the balls hip hop shit, if we're not talking about that,

91
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 9: then what we're talking about.

92
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: You know, right right, that's dope.

93
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so so real quick, man, before we get

94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: into everything, man, just kind of get people to run

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: down to where they can find.

96
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: You guys, so they can make sure that they keep

97
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: up with it.

98
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 9: The tapes, of course, follow us on Twitter, Rap Round

99
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 9: Table PC. That's what we get in the most trouble,

100
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 9: all of our pods on YouTube, the Rap Round Table.

101
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,359

103
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 9: and again. Twitter, you gotta shake the table. So Twitter

104
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 9: is when we get in the most trouble. But then

105
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 9: once you watch the podle realize that, you.

106
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 7: Know, we support our arguments on Twitter with the podcast,

107
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 7: so log in to us over there.

108
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, for everybody watching, man, the super chats are now on,

109
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: so if you have you know, any predictions, any albums

110
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: that you're looking for, to thoughts on Jake Cole, because

111
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: Jake Cole just dropped, so we'll definitely cover that. We

112
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: actually just recorded a first thoughts about that before we

113
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: did the live, so we'll have a full, more in

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: depth conversation on the way on the channel as well.

115
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: But we definitely want to get Jarvin Deni's takes.

116
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: On that and joining us later will be mace from

117
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: them as well, So just be on the lookout if

118
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: you see a third person pop up. Man, I gotta

119
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, I got a quick question, man, who who

120
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: Who's the one that says.

121
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: The most controversial stuff? Who is the guy?

122
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 4: It might be? It might be huge job.

123
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 9: I don't know, you know, I think it depends, like

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 9: it depends on the topic. When it comes to the

125
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 9: Ovio arguments and and and the the younger scale of

126
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 9: RAPO definitely gets us in trouble, you know, when it

127
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 9: comes to the opposite side. I'm the evil jay Z fan,

128
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 9: so I'll get us the trouble with some of the takes,

129
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 9: like in my and my anti Little Waye rhetoric, a

130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 9: lot of times that we random way straights. That's me

131
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 9: Deani Dani, though he'll say the thing that will almost

132
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 9: get us canceled. He trying to pass it off for me.

133
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 9: But Dean he be the guy who teed his defense

134
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 9: from getting us canceled. That we have I will fourth member,

135
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 9: which is to say the rapsob. He can't be with

136
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 9: the snae on the clock say it is the rap snob.

137
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 9: He keeps us on deck.

138
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 7: Once we go through far to the left for the right,

139
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 7: he brings us back to the center.

140
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: I think I've just seen him in the comments.

141
00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,839

00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 7: good spot for everybody to connect.

162
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: That's what's up, man.

163
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,760

Speaker 2: Well let's go ahead and get into it. Man.

165
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about uh, you know, the show I

166
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: called Frode yesterday kind of pitching him a version of

167
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: this idea, and so I think it's just great that

168
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: the timing worked just just by just to the.

169
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: Point where you guys can be on. So I'm glad

170
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: it worked out.

171
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, let's let's kind of talk about kind

172
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: of the state of hip.

173
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: Hop where we are right.

174
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: You know, everybody got have a state of the hip

175
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: hop culture conversation, uh.

176
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: You know, artists, you know, to watch albums.

177
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: And you know, any moments that we're looking for, and

178
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: and then we'll just close out with some just you know,

179
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: everyday conversation and stuff, uh, and then other things that

180
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: we may be watching, you know, for the rest of

181
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: the year. So so starting out, man, there's a lot

182
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: going on right now. You know, there's a lot of

183
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: conversation about hip hop. Last year, you know, we had

184
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: the clips who pretty much owned the year. Right after

185
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, the famous Kendrick and Drake situation that went down.

186
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: Hip hop fell off the top, fell off the charts.

187
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of fragmentation going on, a lot

188
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: of conversations about where where hip hop alongs, et cetera,

189
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: et cetera. We got algorithms going on, we got albums

190
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: and moments, personalities.

191
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: A lot happening right now.

192
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: So what do you guys think, man, Like, what phase

193
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: do you think we're in with hip hop? What do

194
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: you guys? What are your thoughts on where hip hop

195
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: is right now? Heading into.

196
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 4: You go ahead, Dan, I think I think it's in

197
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: a good place, man.

198
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 6: I think we're in a we're in a realm of anticipation,

199
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 6: Like we haven't been this excited, whether for good or

200
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 6: bad albums coming out in the year.

201
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: So I think between like the.

202
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 6: Jay Cole the Drake, there's a lot of anticipation, there's

203
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 6: a lot of questioning, there's a lot of the trepidation,

204
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 6: there's a lot of just everything when it comes to

205
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 6: these albums. And I feel like we haven't had that

206
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 6: for a really long time, where we're just pressing on

207
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 6: the albums, saying when is this.

208
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 4: Album gonna come out? Blah blah blah. So I think

209
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 4: anticipation is great.

210
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 6: I think it's I think the Ladies are gonna have

211
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 6: like a crazy impact this year. I think the Ladies

212
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 6: are gonna step it up this year. Shout out to Doci.

213
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 6: I love the energy that she's bringing.

214
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 4: I think I think I think when you take into

215
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 4: a into account, we're kind of more on the end

216
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 4: of the Kendrick Drake thing.

217
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 6: It's it's it's still lingers, you know, but it's it's

218
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 6: not hitting us to death like it was in the

219
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 6: earlier part of the year. I think people are like,

220
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 6: we can come outside now, the decks are kind of cleared,

221
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 6: People can be more free to make music.

222
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: The listening space is more open now.

223
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: I think.

224
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: I think beautiful things they hear to come.

225
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 6: Man, I have a lot of faith in twenty twenty

226
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 6: six after coming out of twenty twenty five.

227
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 9: I think hip hop is in a tricky spot because

228
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 9: there's a clear the vibe between the culture itself and

229
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 9: then like the mainstream side of it, there's no like

230
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 9: definitive sound. As far as mainstream goes, you have a

231
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 9: lot of guys that's on the underground or ors we

232
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 9: like to call it the overground because they's too popular

233
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 9: to be considered underground, who are having a strong presence

234
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 9: lyricism is being pushed to the forefront. But then all

235
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 9: of the people who are on the mainstream side a

236
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 9: screaming that hip hop is dead. So I feel like

237
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 9: there's a there's a conflict because people are having a

238
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 9: bit of a tug of war between what they want

239
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 9: it to be. I prefer that the overground casts to

240
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 9: continue to get the love and get pushed.

241
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 7: Up more so to the forefront as opposed to the bs.

242
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 9: We've been here and I think, you know, I know

243
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 9: you guys are from Georgia, Atlanta. Atlanta's having a tricky

244
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 9: time right now sonically as far as like what is

245
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 9: the next thing? You know, because for a cool twenty

246
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 9: years that city has dominated the space. We got to

247
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 9: call it what it is, even if New York iss

248
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 9: it hurts me to say it, but they've dominated the space.

249
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 9: What is the sound though? Where is it gonna come from?

250
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 9: Is it gonna be a New York thing. Is it

251
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 9: the West Kendrick had a great run, but there was

252
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 9: no West Coast run behind that that dictated the terms

253
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 9: the New York overground scene. They're continuing to matriculate, putting

254
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 9: out projects. They're not dominating Georgia, Atlanta, Memphis. You might

255
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 9: say Memphis is doing some things, but overall there's no

256
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 9: overarching dominant sound. So I'm curious to see what the

257
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 9: twenty twenty six hold. Is it gonna be more of

258
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 9: the same. Are the guys that's coming out gonna create

259
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 9: something new? We had Metro trying to bring back a

260
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 9: bit of that futuristic energy the late the latter half

261
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 9: of twenty twenty five. I like the project, but it

262
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 9: seemed like that kind of split the room as well.

263
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 9: So I think twenty twenty six is another I would

264
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 9: say transitional year with some big releases.

265
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 7: I don't mind the regionality. I'd rather New York sound

266
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 7: in New York, Atlanta sound like Atlanta, Memphis and Memphis,

267
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 7: Texas and Texas, La, so on and so forth.

268
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 9: But what is gonna be the dominant thing? And I

269
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 9: think that's a very important question we gotta figure out

270
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 9: this year.

271
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: Why is it important? Though?

272
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 7: Like I don't think dominance is important. I think because

273
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 7: I think dominance segregates. Dominance doesn't necessarily allow people to

274
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 7: come together because now it's, oh, well, this is the

275
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 7: hot thing. That's the hot thing, and then everybody tries

276
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 7: to jump on it, which is partly why hip hop

277
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 7: has sounded the same and had the Atlanta roots in it.

278
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 4: For the last twenty almost thirty years.

279
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 7: Now, my thing is this, right, Like, twenty twenty five

280
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 7: for me, the way I look at it was like

281
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 7: year of the Beef, you know what I'm saying, whether

282
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 7: it was manufactured or it was real or whatever. Right,

283
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 7: So like we saw Joey Badass thought off the year

284
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 7: where Ray Vaughn and we saw like all of that

285
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 7: type of stuff, right like, and just other people then

286
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 7: in Kuavo and Chris Brown, they like they had songs.

287
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 7: So like for me, twenty twenty five was the year

288
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 7: of the Beef. Where I'm seeing twenty twenty six, I

289
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 7: feel like hip hop it's in its own separate bubbles

290
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 7: right now, right and I think that hip hop I

291
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 7: don't disagree with you, Jarv where you know, we're in

292
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 7: a transformative year, but in a sense that the regionality

293
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 7: I feel like it's coming back to a degree. And

294
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 7: I also feel that, you know, and this is big

295
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 7: coming for me. I don't think I think radio is

296
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 7: always gonna have his place, But I love the fact

297
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 7: that I don't think that artists are trying to make

298
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 7: quote unquote radio hits for the most part, the majority

299
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 7: of not the glorillas and you know, supermarketable people. Of course,

300
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 7: you know, that's how they eat, that's.

301
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: How they live.

302
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 7: Okay, cool, But when we talk about you know, the

303
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 7: impacts of the grizelle, those the currencies, the Larry Jones.

304
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: Bad bad, not good.

305
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, like we could go like

306
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 7: the Jazzy Like everybody is just kind of like cultivating

307
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 7: their own fan base, even when we had uh uh

308
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 7: the waters well buddy for Big Jenkins, you know what

309
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 7: I'm saying, Like, well, mc Jenkins was talking about like,

310
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 7: you know, doing uh listening sessions, you know, for like

311
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 7: for his fan base. So you look at the Russell.

312
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 7: You look at all of these little bubbles that are

313
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 7: popping up. Whether they collide and create one bigger bubble, cool,

314
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 7: If they're not, they just separate, they're just floating out

315
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 7: through there. I think that That's how I'm looking at

316
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 7: twenty twenty six. I think everybody within their own little

317
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 7: bubble is just trying to expand that bubble. Bro And

318
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 7: to me, that's the most beautiful thing in hip hop

319
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 7: because we got to take the power back, Like we

320
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 7: can't continue to give the power to the entities, you

321
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. So we got to get more

322
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 7: direct to consumer direct like that. And I think that

323
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 7: a lot of these hip hop artists I'm not going

324
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 7: to say like the youngins, but obviously younger than me.

325
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 7: I think in their twenties and stuff like that. They're

326
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 7: just smarter business people now because the tools are there,

327
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 7: right and I see them utilizing that. So for me,

328
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 7: twenty twenty six is about expanding your bubble.

329
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: You know.

330
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 9: I guess just for the second clarity, when I talk

331
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 9: about the dominant sound, it's because from my entry into this,

332
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 9: there's always been like a particular thing that has dominated

333
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 9: rat we've had are the artists who have cooked, don't

334
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 9: get me wrong, But from now I would say maybe,

335
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 9: like for me, memories started to really build around ninety two,

336
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 9: you always had something that was going on that was

337
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 9: at the tip for the food chain.

338
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 7: Then you have off the things propagatd beneath it.

339
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 4: I said, right there that.

340
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 7: Way, let me pause you right there ninety two Right,

341
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 7: so we got Biggie pop and they sounded light and

342
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 7: they dominated. So what was the dominant sound?

343
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 6: Well, pop sound wasn't the dominated sound though like pop

344
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 6: units though he talking about the sound like like like

345
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 6: he was saying, like it's like like the drake sound

346
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 6: right now, that sound that sings songy melodic sound with

347
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 6: the song that's dominated kind of last ten fifteen years,

348
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 6: you know, but now it's on this way out like

349
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 6: Biggie ship was more like the dominant sound of the

350
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 6: two of like there was how many people dropping like pop,

351
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 6: you know, as.

352
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: There was a lot of there was a lot more

353
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: pop clones after the fact.

354
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 4: Okay, I get that, I gat that.

355
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 7: I get that the dominant sound might not have been

356
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 7: a sonic but like early nineties, nineties, late nineties, give it,

357
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 7: what's the thing like boom boom, that.

358
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 4: Was the sound boom the sound. I give you that.

359
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: I give you that.

360
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 7: I feel what you're saying.

361
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 9: Even within that you still had your boot camps and

362
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 9: then you had your bad boys, but they still had

363
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 9: lyrics that was driving the vehicle.

364
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah mm hmmm. So I mean.

365
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you got it, you got it.

366
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: So so we don't have a signature sound in hip

367
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: hop right now from from your perspective. And Drake at

368
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: one point created a bunch of clones and now that

369
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: that's no longer popular since he got his ass, Well,

370
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: do you want to run away from that?

371
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: You know?

372
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: I think when you look at where we are or

373
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: what we're coming from, you know, I think that we're

374
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: we're going to a state of independence where it's not

375
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: about having one particular dominant sound in hip hop. You know,

376
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: it's it's we could be more than likely entering a

377
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: creative phase. When we were having a conversation about hip

378
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: hop not being on the charts, one of the things

379
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: that you know, I was talking about is like we're

380
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: probably just going back to the way it was, you know,

381
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: where it just belonged to us and we enjoyed it

382
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: and we didn't need all of the outside forces and

383
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: people coming in and you know, the culture vultures just

384
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: participating in the bouncing when they when they got what

385
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: they needed out of it.

386
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, like maybe post alone, I think Jack

387
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: Marlow's here right now, and a couple of other guys

388
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 2: to just come in and do what they need to

389
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: do and then they get out of here. So I

390
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: like where we are.

391
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: You know, we're moving into something that's creative and it'll

392
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what happens.

393
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: Moving forward with this year.

394
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean one of the things that Jaylor, one of

395
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: the producers for the other shows, is that and and

396
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: other people say this, but there's something for everybody, you know,

397
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: so you can and in that perspective, that's why everybody

398
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: talk about, oh yeah, hip hop's in a good place.

399
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: I'm the negative one around the show.

400
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 7: You know, hip hop's in a good place. I think

401
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 7: last year, I think the business of Wrath is in

402
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 7: a bad place where hip hop is in a great place.

403
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: I think hip hop is flying now, you know.

404
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm talking about when when they say

405
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: it every year, they've been saying this every year for

406
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: the last ten years.

407
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: And can't but cat but can't.

408
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 7: But every year we're getting like a handful of projects

409
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 7: that's just like yo, Like this ship is like tier one.

410
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 7: This ship is like great. Hey, Like you know what

411
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 7: I'm saying, Like think think about a cat like first

412
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 7: and foremost, we do D three sixty five. So we

413
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 7: listened to hell of fucking music, whether it's new or

414
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 7: slightly older or even older right like for some of

415
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 7: the records.

416
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, we also did I shop on last year. I

417
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: should on last year.

418
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 7: You're saying, you're saying that hip hop, you're saying that

419
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 7: hip hop is not in a good place. I don't know.

420
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 7: I was not, That's what I'm saying.

421
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: I think we're. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I think that

422
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: was misunderstood. You're just talking about obvious years. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

423
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: which is why I didn't ship on last year because

424
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: I felt like last year wasn't good.

425
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: There's anybody to do it would have been me, right,

426
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 2: So uh but no.

427
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: I think we're I think we're We're in this creative

428
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: phase right now where people can go out there and

429
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: make the type of music they want to the fans

430
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: that likes to consume it, and have a sustainable career

431
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: from it. And it's gonna be interesting to see how

432
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: businesses react to that, because or or the streaming streaming

433
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: companies react to that when they can no longer dip

434
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: in the pocket. So so Atlanta not dominating or having

435
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: a signature sound.

436
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: I think it's fine, but you know it's gonna be

437
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 2: back on top man. Atlanta always has something.

438
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 9: That would have surprised me because at the end of

439
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 9: the day, like I feel like, yes, City, even if

440
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 9: I do get mad, y'all do a bit of job

441
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 9: of evolving everything you know, and the sonics speak to

442
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 9: that everything nature, and I think that's a good thing.

443
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 9: Even like the early runs. I love the t YA waves,

444
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 9: I love the g Z waves. Like we was up here,

445
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 9: there's a lot of guys that was yelling about we

446
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 9: wanted to come back, but then you walk by the

447
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 9: card it was blast and jeezy, you know what I mean.

448
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 9: So at the end of the day, I think, like

449
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 9: I think New York has become kind of niche in

450
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 9: they sound. I don't think that what we do best

451
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 9: right now can travel far. That's just the fact that

452
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 9: the mask.

453
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 7: You know, what you'all issue is bro and like this

454
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 7: has been this has been New York's issue for a minute.

455
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 7: And the reason why Atlanta surpassed you so many years

456
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 7: ago is because collaborations. You know what I'm saying, Like

457
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 7: that's a narrative that's not necessarily.

458
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: I kind of agree with him on that. I kind

459
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 4: of do.

460
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: When you say collaborations, what.

461
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: You mean together.

462
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 7: So so yeah, working together. There's no reason. There's no

463
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 7: reason why Funk flex it on Griselda two times, like

464
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 7: like like like that's that's New York putting on for

465
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 7: New York, bro, and like that's a big miss. It's

466
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 7: also a big miss when I'm looking at all of

467
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 7: these you know, New York artists that have a newer sound,

468
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 7: and y'all not collaborate with Griselda, Like why doesn't Cardi

469
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 7: b have any real gritty, gutty you know what I'm

470
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 7: saying type of features on the project? You know what

471
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 7: I'm saying, like like like those are the type of

472
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 7: things because you know, let me let me count that

473
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 7: before you continue. Why does she need to because because

474
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 7: the sonics of New York, it's so big, the city

475
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 7: is so big to it, Cardy don't necessarily need to

476
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 7: work with Griselda and Grizela don't necessarily need and and

477
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 7: that's and that's your issue, don't know what No no, no, no, no,

478
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 7: no no no no, it's your mentality. No no, because

479
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 7: because you're thinking New York, no no, No, I'm talking.

480
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 4: You're talking to New York. I'm talking New York. Listen,

481
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 4: but listen.

482
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 7: But but your mindset, your mindset around this quest shit

483
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 7: is like I'm talking, I'm talking hip hop like back

484
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 7: in the day, right like jay Z. Jay Z collabed

485
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 7: with all of them down South cast Say what happened

486
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 7: to jay He blew up as the biggest hip hop

487
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 7: artist out of New York. Why it wasn't just because

488
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 7: he was collabing just with New York. Is because he

489
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 7: collaborate hip hop And that's what we already beat it

490
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 7: jay Z, right, Like, hold on, that's crazy. Wait a second,

491
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 7: Wait a second, Like that's what I'm saying. Let's let's

492
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 7: let's drop slow the car down just a second. Cardis

493
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 7: signature sound on her way? She you gond argue, she's

494
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 7: in Atlanta artists, Let's call it what it is.

495
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 9: Game like, we gotta start there, like she don't make

496
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 9: New York rap per se. And the over archer point

497
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 9: is inside of New York City. I know you say,

498
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 9: we think about New York, but we're talking about hip hop.

499
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 7: You gotta you gotta get out of New York before

500
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 7: you get to the rest of hip hop. And the

501
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 7: problem with New York is is that within the five

502
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 7: boroughs and then you got the outskirts and you got

503
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 7: now Griselda, so on and so forth, Like there's no

504
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 7: there's no kids listening to Conway, the younger people. Like

505
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 7: when I was eighteen, I was listening in the boom Bat,

506
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 7: So there was kind of a universal thing that we

507
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 7: was locking into. Now in New York you got the.

508
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 9: Young drillers, you got the sexy drillers. You gotta waive that.

509
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 9: I don't even know what to describe it as. Then

510
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 9: you still have not legit like what's homie name Dan

511
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 9: that makes it always talked about but Mascon don't have

512
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 9: to ask him.

513
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 7: But it's like there's an artist right now who's like

514
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 7: Zeddi Will. Zeddi Will don't make drill. He's not a

515
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 7: street dude, but his wave is popping right now. I

516
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 7: don't even know what the label that asks, but he's popping.

517
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: He's from the city.

518
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 9: But then you still have the older cats like us

519
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 9: that listen to the Griseldas of the world and the

520
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 9: Ranisms of the world.

521
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 7: We got y'all have room streets on room streets home team,

522
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 7: but were listening to the rooms. There's like so much

523
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 7: different sounds within the city to where it's like it's

524
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 7: hard to really like, all right, what is the New

525
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 7: York sound? People on the outside would say were still

526
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 7: doing boom back, But then the resident of New York

527
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 7: is to tell you it's it's it's a demographic thing,

528
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, And that's difficult to deal

529
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 7: with when you have variant defographics.

530
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 9: But then you have the people who are in charge

531
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 9: of what you hear. We saw what happened with Ebro recently.

532
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 7: Ebro been in a position how many years he's not

533
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 7: even from New York from flexes in position he's from

534
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 7: New York. With Flex. Everyone will tell you rappers who

535
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 7: are veteran rappers who so rugulars to tell you Flex

536
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 7: has been a pain in the ass his entire existence.

537
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 9: But you gotta deal with Flex. We don't have a

538
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 9: clue anymore. And he's a radio guy. Now we don't

539
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 9: even have the outlets we used to have.

540
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 7: So like the game in the city is so convoluted,

541
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 7: and there's a lot of opinions about what it should

542
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 7: be and what it could be. It ain't that you know,

543
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 7: what I'm saying, I.

544
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: Personally don't want to hear Cardi and Griselda.

545
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 4: To be quite honest, nobody will. I mean, she went,

546
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 4: she went to drive out.

547
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 6: She did some joints with k Flock and his and

548
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: his crew, so she went to drive out. You know,

549
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 6: she did the no flocking joint when she did so,

550
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 6: she went her southern route. She I just hate the

551
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 6: factors and Cardi be as the measuring stick for rappers,

552
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 6: like you know what, I understand where you was coming from,

553
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 6: but we can do a lot better than just.

554
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 4: We had no one hundred percent.

555
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: Look, she go take it from us.

556
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 7: I threw Cardy's name out there just because she's one

557
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 7: of the most popular people from your city, right right,

558
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 7: So that's the only reason why I threw out there.

559
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 7: And I'm also just saying that, like from a standpoint

560
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 7: of the collaboration, you know what I'm saying, Like, like

561
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 7: I feel like New York artists, for the most part,

562
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 7: don't collaborate like Atlanta artists. Then when they when they

563
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 7: took over like that, that was that was the secret sauce,

564
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 7: is that everybody in Atlanta collaborated with each other, and

565
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 7: they collaborated with everybody outside of Atlanta too, and that's

566
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 7: how it cultivated the sound that was that was up

567
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 7: until like a couple of months every pop in New

568
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 7: York acts stepped outside of New York at the business though,

569
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 7: let's not act like that wasn't taking place, Okay, But.

570
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, what y'all think rock gonna

571
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 5: do with New York? Think what he about to do?

572
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: I think.

573
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 6: I think nigga just beat a gun charge man, niggas free.

574
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 6: He got two kids, three kids with Rihanna. I think

575
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 6: life is beautiful. I expect the music to be beautiful too,

576
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. And I expecting groundbreaking lyricism

577
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 6: from Asap Rocky No, but I expect him to get

578
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 6: a room shaken. And I feel like when you do

579
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 6: what you're good at, good things will follow, you know.

580
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just saying because he's from New York and

581
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 5: now I know y'all talking about New York like he

582
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 5: would like revive it some way.

583
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 4: Because his sound was never in New York.

584
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 9: When he first got on the scene, where he really

585
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 9: could have made things happen for the city, but then

586
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 9: it just didn't quite go.

587
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 7: To I think he immediately once what was that song?

588
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 7: Like fucking problems that record?

589
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 9: Right, he kind of veered away from what got him

590
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 9: lit in the first place, and then the conversations around

591
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 9: him started to change and he never really got back

592
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 9: to that energy. But when he first came on the scene,

593
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 9: we was rocking with a sad you know what I mean.

594
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: We liked it.

595
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 9: He liked that he was rocking with you because at

596
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 9: that point we was fully entrenching a completely different sound

597
00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 9: in the city.

598
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 6: Of the New York And he didn't. He was just

599
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 6: he was a soho. He was a haller nigga, but

600
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 6: he chilled him so who you know. So when everybody

601
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 6: was on their baggy shit, he was on like the

602
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 6: extra slimmy geens. So he just had a different style

603
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 6: about himself, you know. Back in the days, that's what

604
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 6: hip hop was about. That nigga that just set the trends,

605
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 6: did everything different. He just happened to be a great

606
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 6: rapper along with it, you know. So definitely said trends

607
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 6: in the city.

608
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 9: And I think the biggest live about New York is

609
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 9: that like there was like uniformity, like inside the city,

610
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 9: there's no connections.

611
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 7: You got Brooklyn. You got Quee's, you got Hall, you

612
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 7: got the Bronx.

613
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 9: The music might sound similar, but this little war is

614
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 9: happening in each borough. So it's like once once the

615
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 9: shaan got off of us and it vid out of

616
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 9: the city, that disconnect got very loud, you know what

617
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 9: I mean. And I think that makes the most sense here.

618
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think that rapper great? All right?

619
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: We hear, we hear, great rapper? What is our bargo?

620
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 4: You know That's what I'm saying.

621
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 6: He makes great songs, he makes great music, you know,

622
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 6: but he had when I had a great rap, I'm like,

623
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 6: I'm like, is he blacked up? You know what I'm saying, Like, No,

624
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 6: but I don't. I don't expect that from him, and

625
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 6: I feel like holding that expectation on him.

626
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: This kind of way. We lose balanced a lot of times.

627
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's that's not his thing. Yeah, we had

628
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: a we had a pretty pretty rough start with what

629
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: you got wrong?

630
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I think I said even that

631
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 5: even at this age and at this statement, I think

632
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 5: Ja can still bring some light to some artists on

633
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 5: in New York. I think if he was to drop

634
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 5: and put you know, like like a Makami or a

635
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 5: Ransom and people like that on this album.

636
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: I think that's a better, better.

637
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 5: Catapult than a cart I think even at this point

638
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 5: of his career, I think people are gonna still pay attention,

639
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 5: right if j J popped up on an album, imagine

640
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 5: Jay popping up with an album with it'll do him

641
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 5: some good.

642
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 3: And the people that that he has on.

643
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 5: It, Like I said, the ramsos in the world, the

644
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 5: wrong streets, the all of those guys that we herald

645
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 5: in the independent underground scene. I think that would be

646
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 5: a great opportunity, uh for Jay to say some on him,

647
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 5: because I think he missed that opportunity when he was

648
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 5: really on the com ump to to bring some light

649
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 5: to some New York artists or whatever I mean, because

650
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 5: he was trying to be the biggest guy in New

651
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 5: York Kingdom New York. That was a whole thing back

652
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 5: in the day. So man, I just really wish he

653
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: would do something like that. I think that, But why

654
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 5: would he?

655
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 7: Though, like, that's never been his m O.

656
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: That's that's my point. It's never been his MO.

657
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 9: But I think that, if memory serves me right, with

658
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 9: Griselda was on a great assent there was a rock

659
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 9: Nation affiliation.

660
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 7: I think you think Nation. Those are the only cats,

661
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 7: those are the only cats that that before and Grizelda

662
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 7: already had like a.

663
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: Little bit of a wave.

664
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 7: But outside of that, like everybody else that Jay has

665
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 7: ever collaborate outside of reasonable doubt, right, because those were

666
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 7: a lot of the.

667
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 2: Whole Do that he collaborated with m O P. You mean, but.

668
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 7: But m P already had like a footing, like like

669
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 7: there was nobody, no, no, no. What what I'm saying

670
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 7: is is that jay Z always worked with somebody that

671
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 7: was relatively established. They wasn't always necessarily bigger than him

672
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 7: or even on the same level, but they had a name.

673
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 4: MP had a name, UGK had.

674
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 9: A name, had a name Rest in peace big L.

675
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 9: Big L was sign run the same time, obs dropping

676
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 9: reasonable the fact.

677
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 7: But that's the reason why I sat around reasonable doubt.

678
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 7: Let's exclude that, exclude reasonable doubt, right, That's what put

679
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 7: him on the map. So after that, once j was

680
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 7: on the essension of becoming one of the biggest rappers,

681
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 7: that he didn't put on people. Everybody had a name

682
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 7: to a degree already not saying that Jay didn't blow

683
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 7: him up and make him bigger because j was.

684
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 4: Bigger, but bro like m P had a name name.

685
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 7: So that's different. That's different that that was on label

686
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 7: execs ship. That wasn't like you on what I'm saying

687
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 7: at the time, during that prime era of jay Z,

688
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 7: you look around New York City, He's not gonna pull

689
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 7: up some queens.

690
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 9: Dude, we really knew what the static was. There was

691
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 9: already a wit there was. There was real static in

692
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 9: the bronx he had. There was real issues once upon

693
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 9: a time. It was in the city. The city. It

694
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 9: might seem like we're in New York City, but it's

695
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 9: really five boroughs for really no just the Staten Island.

696
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,239
Speaker 9: They really belonged in New Jersey. But nevertheless, he had

697
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 9: real issues with Terror Squad. Like only Skiky ship you

698
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 9: see with Fat Joe Now that just happened. They had

699
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 9: real statics him. M Cameron was always on some little

700
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 9: big bro, little bro ship and we see how to

701
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 9: happen when he got signed the rock to you know

702
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 9: what I mean? All right, hold on, So when you

703
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 9: look around the city, the only guys that he had

704
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 9: real connects with was was Locks.

705
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 7: Locks was the only guys that was ruling across that

706
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 7: he still did this with them, you mean like him

707
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 7: and you worked with them. But but the s when

708
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 7: Jay said, when Jay said, I don't drive X five

709
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 7: were given the baby mambas. That was because Jadakin has

710
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 7: just bought a brand new X five and he was

711
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 7: driving around and it was just a Jada And that's

712
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 7: a competition.

713
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 9: Like, that's what they was doing during that time, and

714
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 9: we got one of the greatest battles in rap history

715
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 9: because of that.

716
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 7: We don't get beans versus kiss without that, you know

717
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 7: what I mean, their dog But.

718
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 6: Basically when they when he wanted them to do the

719
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 6: Reservo dog drink, they wanted to drop off their bags.

720
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 4: That I know. I know the story. He wanted them

721
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 4: to come. That's why he said, I don't give a

722
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 4: funk who you are, so yes, and that's.

723
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 7: Why Styles went right at him. I knowed I'm one

724
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 7: of the biggest Jays. That's not from New York, bro,

725
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 7: I just get it. I'm just saying that that New

726
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 7: York has been divisive and that's been part of their issue.

727
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 9: From so you who would he have brought up like

728
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 9: give us all this in like ninety eight, ninety nine,

729
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 9: that Jay should have stood next to at the peak

730
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 9: of his popularity to bring up with him from New

731
00:33:58,920 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 9: York City.

732
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 4: He got on his joint, he did.

733
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 7: But that was that was, you know, doing his thing.

734
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 6: He was on the record, was on the album bro

735
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 6: on a major on a major hit for if you

736
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 6: give you, I give you, I give you, John.

737
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 7: But you got somebody your mind, I know you do.

738
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 7: Who are you thinking?

739
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: Real quick? I had to interrupt.

740
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 4: That's my type of conversation, like, Yo, what's the worrd?

741
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 3: Y'all came middle the fire?

742
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, go on, how y'all feeling for years?

743
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 11: Man, it's time to be up here with y'all.

744
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.

745
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: Bro glad man, glad you were able to have some

746
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: time to come chop it over with some old head.

747
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: Well me.

748
00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 3: Broke. But I didn't bring it up to talk about

749
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: the days of the past or whatever.

750
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 5: I was just saying that I think that would be

751
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 5: a good opportunity for him to do what he didn't

752
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 5: necessarily do back in the day. I think I think

753
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 5: he has a prime opportunity, especially with so many talented

754
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 5: New York artists, to.

755
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 3: Share some light.

756
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 4: Now you're right, V.

757
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 5: He is affiliated with a lot, even my comedy right, Like,

758
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 5: he is affiliated with a lot of these guys. So

759
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 5: I think to even taking a step further with putting

760
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 5: them as features or doing songs with him or whatever.

761
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 5: I think that could, like I said, calipolt the New

762
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 5: York scene again, you know what, and get people talking

763
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 5: about it, you know. And and yeah, just to get

764
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 5: add my two cents on what the initial question was,

765
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,959
Speaker 5: I pretty much agree with you guys for the most part.

766
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 5: Where it is a lot of individuality going on right

767
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 5: now hip hop, which I think is which is which

768
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 5: is good.

769
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 3: I don't think it needs to be like a dominant thing.

770
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 5: And I think because of that, you know, like I said,

771
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 5: people are artists are getting creative with how you know,

772
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 5: they make their money, how they get their their views

773
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 5: and streams up.

774
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 3: And I think that's.

775
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 5: Scary to the you know, the record execs, which is

776
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 5: I probably have this surgeons of AI right because they

777
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 5: can't control the humans anymore, they can't control artists like

778
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 5: that anymore. They're getting out their deals, they stand out

779
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 5: of their deals, and so now I think that's probably

780
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 5: a main push for the AI artists right now because

781
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 5: they can control that, right and they can get you know,

782
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 5: get those streaming numbers up, and it can make them

783
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 5: popular and things.

784
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 3: So I like the I.

785
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 5: Think there needs to be a renaissance And I told

786
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 5: this to Mike Jenkins, like of artists just like you know,

787
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 5: creating their own bubbles and finding a way to cultivate

788
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 5: that and get you know, get their numbers up or whatever.

789
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 5: It may not be top charts or whatever, but fuck

790
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 5: the charts, you know what I'm saying. Long as you're

791
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 5: getting your money, loon's, youre getting your paper. I think

792
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 5: that's what people minds need to be. I think there's

793
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 5: a lot of smoking mirrors when it comes to these charges.

794
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 5: We see it, right, people got bots, all kinds of stuff.

795
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 5: So it's just a lot of smoking mirrors when it

796
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 5: comes to that Internet is your greatest tool right now

797
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 5: you can get it to anybody in the world, whereas

798
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 5: once before that wasn't the case. So yeah, I just

799
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 5: think it needs to didn't like and you're also talking

800
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 5: about the different sounds that are probably like Dochi has

801
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 5: our own sound?

802
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 3: And uh who else? Who else?

803
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 2: Yeah?

804
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 5: I had said somebody else, but yeah, that's that's one

805
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 5: of the main ones I was thinking about, Like you

806
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 5: have a doti and uh and uh and all these

807
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 5: other people living in the same at the same time.

808
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, I pretty much agree with the individuality right now.

809
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Man, when you got oh, well, yeah, Mace, as

810
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: we get ready to transition, I got one more question

811
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: about the current state of hip hop and then we

812
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: can move on into artists, albums and some other stuff.

813
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: Mace, you just hopped on, Man, what are your what is?

814
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 2: What are your what's your thoughts on?

815
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: Like where we are right now coming off with twenty

816
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: twenty five and looking ahead.

817
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 12: Very much in a transitional period. But I think one

818
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 12: an upward, upward trend. I should say, you know, it's

819
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 12: it's no, it's no.

820
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 11: Uh. Everybody knows.

821
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 12: For the last bunch of years and hip hop we've

822
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 12: been we've been saying we wanted a new sound, we

823
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 12: want new energy.

824
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 3: You know.

825
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 12: I seen y'all having the New York conversation. Bring New

826
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 12: York back, bring lyricism back. That's been very much a

827
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 12: common theme. But it seems like a decade plus, right,

828
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 12: So I think it's very good that you know, we've

829
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 12: had the moment of artistry, the moment of people, you know,

830
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 12: wanting to put out good music, right, not just.

831
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 11: Wanting to charge.

832
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 12: You know, we had the Kendrick Drake moment that kind

833
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 12: of blew up the mainstream almost, right, So I think

834
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 12: it's good that we were having this moment where people

835
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 12: have a super emphasis on I don't want to just

836
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 12: say lyricism, right because I feel like that's a flat

837
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 12: blanket statement, but musicality, right, making great albums, songs that

838
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 12: stick with you, bringing back themes that resonate with the

839
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 12: with the common.

840
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 11: Person, right, I feel like that's that can be a

841
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 11: bad thing.

842
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 4: Right now.

843
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 12: I do think that we're very much in the like different.

844
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 11: You know, I've seen you guys having the conversation.

845
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,280
Speaker 12: We're very much in a different ecosystem moment in hip

846
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 12: we You know, for years people have said, why can't

847
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 12: hip hop be like rock and have different little subgenres,

848
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 12: And it's like that right now. And I feel that

849
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 12: because the mainstream ecosystem of hip hop is so down,

850
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 12: the numbers are down, the music is down. Like I've

851
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,479
Speaker 12: seen a viral thing where somebody showed that they said

852
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 12: twenty one put out his worst album, gonna put out.

853
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 11: His worst album.

854
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 12: All of the people that kind of defined that mainstream sound,

855
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 12: which a lot of people were riding for the last

856
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 12: few years. You know, how many times did you hear

857
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 12: hip hop is the best selling genre. So that was

858
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 12: the thing that we kind of held sites to us.

859
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 12: So I think that because the mainstream is in such

860
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 12: a downward trend.

861
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 11: It's still not where it needs to be.

862
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 12: Because I'm very much everybody loves the early nineties when

863
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 12: we had our you know, it was just for us

864
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 12: and we had our the culture was tight, and everything

865
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 12: was where we wanted it to be. But for me,

866
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 12: I still want to see, you know, hip hop has shine, right.

867
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 12: I still want to see you know, us dominating the charts.

868
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 12: I still want to see all of that as along

869
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 12: with the artistry, because I think we can do both.

870
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 11: I think we have artists that can balance both.

871
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 12: So I think that it's long overdue that people started

872
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 12: wanting to make great music again, but.

873
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 11: Not at the at the you know, expense of all

874
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 11: of the business. I guess, I'll say, because I think

875
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 11: the mace what's happening.

876
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 7: So, but hip hop and R and B was still

877
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 7: the most consumed genre in music in twenty twenty five.

878
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 7: So even though we didn't dominate necessarily the charts, and

879
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 7: there are people like you said twenty one and some

880
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 7: of these other people that they albums wasn't what they

881
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 7: were supposed to be. It's not necessarily a bad thing, right.

882
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 7: If you go back to the song Overtime by Nipsey

883
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 7: Us on Mailbox Money, at the end, he talks about

884
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 7: like his he talks about like the pretty much the

885
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,959
Speaker 7: industry as we know crumbling and failing, and he talks

886
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 7: about having power or as an artist. You know what

887
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 7: I'm saying, are you direct to consumer? Do you own

888
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 7: your own do you own your masters?

889
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 4: Can you move?

890
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 7: And the people that you mentioned don't And that's why

891
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,959
Speaker 7: they're failing. That's the reason why it's gonna be hard

892
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 7: for them to continue to stay on the chart because

893
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 7: they don't have the power. They don't have power, and

894
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 7: that's the reason also Jarv that I was saying, like

895
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 7: I feel like hip hop is all in these separate

896
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 7: bubbles and the powers in the bubbles, bro is The

897
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 7: power is in your fan base. The power is in

898
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 7: how many people support you. The power is in when

899
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 7: I say, hey, I'm gonna have a listening party.

900
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

901
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 7: This weekend on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. Can I

902
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 7: get four hundred people into the studio within that weekend

903
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 7: as an artist and charge them money. That's where the

904
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 7: power is. It's it's not in the charts anymore. Like

905
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 7: like to me, and look, this is coming from the

906
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 7: guy on dere to hip hop that has always said

907
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 7: that we need balance, we need this, we need that.

908
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 7: This is like one of the first years that I'm like,

909
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 7: I don't give a fuck about the radio, bro, I

910
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 7: don't give a fuck about the charts. I don't give

911
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 7: a fuck about the Grammy. I don't give a fuck

912
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 7: about none of that. Because if I'm truly a fan

913
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 7: of you that's making good music, I'm.

914
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 4: Gonna find you. Bro.

915
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 9: Growing up, I guess for me like I'm always looking

916
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 9: at it. When I say, like the dominant sound to

917
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 9: go back to.

918
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 7: That conversation, just to bring it all together, I always

919
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 7: look at it from a perspective of what I want

920
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 7: as opposed to what it is. When I when I

921
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 7: take myself out of the equation I look at hip hop,

922
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 7: I'm like, all right, these are things that I listened to.

923
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 7: Like for instance, school Boy Q was one of my favorites.

924
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 7: Push your Tea one of my favorites.

925
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 9: These guys are not dominating quote the charts or quote

926
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 9: the dominant sound, so I'm not looking for that from them.

927
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 9: But I notice people that I don't listen to, like

928
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 9: a Drake sorry may see though you know what I mean?

929
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 9: And if you other quote popular acts, they control the scene.

930
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 9: And I look at every iteration of hip hop, every

931
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 9: version how we want to call it. This people who

932
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 9: is at the top outside with holes at the top

933
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 9: that I just don't listen to, and I can't control that.

934
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 7: It is what it is. So it's like I'm just

935
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 7: looking at those are the guys that's the top of

936
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 7: the food chain. Then you get the trickle down economics

937
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 7: and where do you land. That's how I look at it.

938
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 7: That don't mean that I like it that way. That's

939
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 7: just how I look at it.

940
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 4: But isn't it but isn't it a good thing? Right?

941
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 7: And I think k Dot talked about burning everything down

942
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 7: and everything kind of growing back, right, Like, isn't it

943
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 7: a good thing that those people that we question, their love,

944
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 7: their acuben, they're all of these things right that that

945
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 7: it's kind of like anti hip hop, what we grew

946
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 7: up on. Isn't it good that they aren't as successful anymore?

947
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 7: That they're little by little exactly? So that's what we

948
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 7: are hip hop I want to I want to let

949
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 7: you know how much in lucks if I am with

950
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 7: you when it comes to that particular thing as far

951
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 7: as four hundred people when we talk about it on

952
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 7: our platform always saying that, and I MA Sito kind

953
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 7: of brought this to life for me. It's like, there's

954
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 7: a lot of guys who.

955
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 9: Move units quote unquote, they do great streaming numbers, but

956
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 9: then when it's time to sell tickets for concerts, they cannot.

957
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 9: And I said, to my gods, I'm like, yo, look,

958
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 9: there's there's a clear delineation between the people shout out

959
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 9: and be a young boy who could pack out a

960
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 9: twenty thousand seater and make people move and make suit

961
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 9: shape and guys who get streaming numbers but nobody's really

962
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 9: jacking them.

963
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 7: So I'm with you with that. I want to see

964
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 7: who could put asides and cease.

965
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 9: I always said, I have to story here and I'll

966
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 9: bring it to you guys in your audience. I don't

967
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 9: even like the idea that it's so much so like

968
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 9: I put this album out and we can just stream it.

969
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 9: I want there to be like a three to four

970
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 9: week window where it's like, you gotta buy the album.

971
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 9: I want people to go back to that forcibly having

972
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 9: to save ten dollars or fifteen dollars to buy it out.

973
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 7: You can't just streaming the album music.

974
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 9: I want to see how many people said artists can

975
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 9: get to drop fifteen dollars to buy the album.

976
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 7: You got four weeks, and after that four week window

977
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 7: you moving units. Then you release it the streamer, kind

978
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 7: of like what movies are doing, where it's like there's

979
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 7: a few three week window in the theaters before it

980
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 7: goes on to the DSPs, then it ends up on

981
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 7: the cable networks.

982
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 9: I want that for music so we can really separate

983
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 9: who's who all these fake streaming numbers. The only way

984
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 9: we get to know who's really popping out here is

985
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 9: when it's concert time and you see it's maybe like

986
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 9: five artists, five rappers, maybe who could fill a right now.

987
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 7: So I think that is the best way to separate

988
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 7: the who's who and what's what. As we go on

989
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty six and it's you.

990
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 12: Know, to mention Kendrick. Within you speaking about it, Kendrick

991
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 12: is like, that's what we aspire to be. Because it's

992
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 12: not necessarily that I'm saying, hey, let's bring back Gunner,

993
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 12: let's bring back twenty one, let's bring back But when

994
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 12: you mentioned a guy like Kendrick, that is what the

995
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 12: perfect balance of mainstream and musicality, you know what I mean.

996
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 12: I've seen you guys speaking about Doci. She has that ability,

997
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 12: you know what I mean? The shit we grew up on,

998
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 12: like it wasn't underground, you know what I mean? Or

999
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 12: not all of it, jay Z nas DMX Biggie, that

1000
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 12: wasn't underground. It was mainstream popular music that also was

1001
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 12: able to reach the levels that we liked artistically.

1002
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying.

1003
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 12: And that's all I'm saying is that let's not just

1004
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 12: say fuck it all right, let's say, hey, let's bring

1005
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 12: the two together.

1006
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: Do you guys think that the audience changing or I

1007
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: guess the question is, do you guys think the audience

1008
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 1: is change more than the music?

1009
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 2: MM, like what they're consuming, how they're consusing stuff.

1010
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 9: I'll say that because I worked in education for closer

1011
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 9: ten years and I saw like the kids taste change

1012
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 9: from when I first got in there twenty thirteen to

1013
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 9: when I left out of there around twenty twenty four. Actually,

1014
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 9: so I did more to Tams, you know what I mean,

1015
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 9: And like they change, like what they listened to and

1016
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 9: what they chase. They've been from loving Drake to more

1017
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 9: or less chasing something that's kind of niche or more underground.

1018
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 9: They're not The kids now are not chasing like the

1019
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 9: most popular artists. I feel like the popular code selling

1020
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 9: artists are being supported by people our age. I think

1021
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 9: the kids are looking for that TikTok artist or the

1022
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 9: Instagram artists, or somebody that we just not logged into.

1023
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 9: I used to be at work seeing kids on YouTube

1024
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 9: looking at some kid with like a million views, real comments,

1025
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 9: no boxing, the comments popping.

1026
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 7: Then I won't hit a mace because he's the closest one.

1027
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 7: Today it's like yo, just got legit. Basically be like Yo, yeah, bro,

1028
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 7: he's popping out here in New York. He's doing his thing,

1029
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 7: and it's like that's interesting. So these kids, so what.

1030
00:46:58,760 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: You think about Jay Coleen?

1031
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 7: Now we're not. And then we listened to the k flock,

1032
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 7: like huh, who's k flock. I gotta go do the knowledge.

1033
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 9: I used to walk around the hallways hearing Big Drip

1034
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 9: bout five year four, and I don't knowho for our

1035
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 9: Big Drip For like three years before he got a deal,

1036
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 9: I didn't know who he was.

1037
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 7: That's what they was listening to.

1038
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 9: I think kids right now, unlike us, where we was

1039
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 9: liking everything, they are looking for very specific things. That's

1040
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 9: not feeding the ecosystem of the mainstream hip hop. And

1041
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 9: I don't think that's really necessarily being reported as much

1042
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 9: as it should be. The taste of the children have changed.

1043
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 9: We like what we like, but the kids' opinions are

1044
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 9: changing drastically.

1045
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was talking to so.

1046
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: I have a seventeen year old son, and you know,

1047
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: every once in a while when I get a chance,

1048
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: I talked to, you know, some of his friends, you know,

1049
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: and some people at the school man who are y'all

1050
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: listening to right now?

1051
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: You know?

1052
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: And you know, they say, you know some of the

1053
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: names that we always hear.

1054
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 2: But I was like, who knew? Who do we not know?

1055
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: Like so they mentioned like last year was like B

1056
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: six and then there was a guy by the name

1057
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: of and you know, of course we in Georgia. So

1058
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: these are the artist that has to sound as typical

1059
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 1: for here, but be Sis and a guy named Baby

1060
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: Chief Do It.

1061
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 2: And I remember, you.

1062
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: Know, bringing these names up on that and hip hop,

1063
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of throwing them out there just

1064
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: as example. And then Baby Chief Do It popped up

1065
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: on something we reviewed. I think it was a Chance

1066
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: Joint and uh something like that, and he killed it.

1067
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: Everybody was like, Oh, that's that's dope. I was like, Yo,

1068
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: that's the one that the kids would listen to. So

1069
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: it's always interesting. I love to kind of like talk

1070
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: to them and see like what are they listening to

1071
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: and what's changing so I can keep up with the trends,

1072
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: not necessarily that I have to like it, but just

1073
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: to kind of get an idea of like where we're going,

1074
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, as as as a as a as a genre,

1075
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: you know, as a culture. Is there some sustainability to it?

1076
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 2: You know? Are these guys rapping and stuff like that?

1077
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's interesting that you also, you know,

1078
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: Jarv have experienced the same thing, and I like the

1079
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: fact that you are kind of probing and trying to

1080
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: get some insight as well.

1081
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 2: I think that's dope.

1082
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know real quick to drive point like,

1083
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 7: the kids are going to be what dictate the future

1084
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 7: of what music is gonna go like in mass right

1085
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 7: like like because eventually they're gonna be the number one

1086
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 7: consumers we are currently, but obviously we're gonna get phased out.

1087
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,439
Speaker 7: That being said, Like my brother, man, my youngest brother.

1088
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 7: You know, I moved to Texas. I don't know if

1089
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 7: y'all knew that, but I moved to Texas. I've been

1090
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 7: here for like four or five months now. And my

1091
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 7: brother he coaches an AAU team, you know, multiple teams,

1092
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 7: so like he's my resource. I always ask him and

1093
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 7: here regionally, you know, I'm already bad with they, so

1094
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna give you the name how to forget

1095
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 7: all the niggas, but you know, he be playing them

1096
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 7: like whenever we be in the car, and shit, I'm like, bro,

1097
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 7: like this is not made for me, you know what

1098
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 7: I'm saying. But he's like, yo, like the kids the

1099
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 7: kids are you know, like they on it, you know

1100
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 7: what I'm saying.

1101
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 4: And it's a lot of cads.

1102
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 7: Like none of the cats that you mentioned out of

1103
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 7: New York, I never heard them cats, and I'm pretty

1104
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 7: sure that I could find the names, like if I

1105
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 7: said that y'all niggas. But but at the end of

1106
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 7: the day, it goes back to the point, is the

1107
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 7: reason why the regionality bro like the re regionality is

1108
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 7: it's coming back, and I think that that's gonna be

1109
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 7: an amazing thing for hip hop. I don't think it's

1110
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 7: a bad thing.

1111
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 12: It's it's the regionality compared also with the fact that

1112
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 12: you know, hip hop is, you know, fifty plus years old,

1113
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 12: so it's gonna be different pockets and fan base. You know,

1114
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 12: Like in ninety eight, Rock Kim was thirty, but he

1115
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 12: seems old to us, But now that still.

1116
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 7: Kicks my day. In ninety eight he's seen old.

1117
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 9: But now once I touched thirty the artists I was

1118
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 9: listening too or third, like why did we treat rock

1119
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 9: Kim like that?

1120
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 7: Very much?

1121
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 2: In this problem?

1122
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 12: Like the Big three are all forty or nearing forty, right,

1123
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 12: and that's the like we don't we don't act like that.

1124
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 12: So it's like, as as the age of hip hop expans,

1125
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 12: you know that that's also going to be a part

1126
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 12: of the audience just different, you know what I mean?

1127
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 11: It was very much.

1128
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 12: You know, twenty twenty five years ago, the audience age

1129
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 12: specifically was much more centralized, you know what I mean,

1130
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 12: all the folks listening to WBLS, kids listen to like,

1131
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 12: you know, uh Nickelodeon type stuff. But now you've got

1132
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 12: five year olds that have their own rap, and you

1133
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 12: got fifty five year olds that got their own rap.

1134
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 12: Combined with the regionality of it all because each region

1135
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 12: got they old and they middle and their younger artists.

1136
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 12: So when you think about it on that level that

1137
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 12: the audience is definitely going to expand. The audience is

1138
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 12: definitely gonna change. But like my man said, I think

1139
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 12: it's for the better at the end of the day.

1140
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 6: Like the way the way I look at it, bro

1141
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 6: like or all the all the waiters off these kids, like,

1142
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 6: think about it. We're all in the somewhat in the

1143
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 6: same age room.

1144
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 4: Think about it.

1145
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 6: If you want to be a rapper, twenty twenty five

1146
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 6: years ago, like there was a whole playbook you kind

1147
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 6: of almost had to follow. You know, there was an aesthetic,

1148
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 6: especially if you were from a certain place.

1149
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 4: You know, if it was a New York.

1150
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 6: Rapper, you had your baggy jeans, you had your tims,

1151
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 6: you had your pel you know.

1152
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 4: You just had your York fitted. You know, you're Scully,

1153
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 4: whatever it was.

1154
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 6: I feel like today these kids, they you're free to

1155
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 6: do whatever the fuck you want nowadays in a way

1156
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 6: that you will never like. They have just nothing holding

1157
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 6: them back. If you want to be a skinny jeans

1158
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 6: big jacket wrapper, do it. You want to be a

1159
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 6: take sure with the big jeans wrapper. There's there's a

1160
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 6: lane now for everybody, which I think is dope because

1161
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 6: it could elevate the game and it and it creates

1162
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,720
Speaker 6: a lot more lanes, Like we talked about it earlier,

1163
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 6: how rap, how rock has so many different sub genres

1164
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 6: that there's so many subgenres and hip hop, and I

1165
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 6: think that it's where as as we get older, our

1166
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 6: ears get older, you know, So as I listened in

1167
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 6: the sun that a sixteen year old will go crazy.

1168
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 4: So I'm like, what the like? You like, what the

1169
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 4: fuck is this?

1170
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 2: But so fast every time?

1171
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 7: But I can't the program.

1172
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 4: My ears are holding on.

1173
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 6: A little sexy drill ship in the right in the

1174
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 6: right set another thing. Circumstance, you know, the right situation.

1175
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 6: Those things create situations. You feel me so they play,

1176
00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 6: they definitely play the part.

1177
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 2: They call it sexy drill.

1178
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not about shooting niggas, that's that's about.

1179
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 6: It's about more more like you know, set the vibe, sipping,

1180
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 6: smoking like you'ling like a sexy tone.

1181
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 4: It's like for the ladies.

1182
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 7: You know. That's where I like, you know, Yeah, it's

1183
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 7: the whole New York.

1184
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 4: New York is a wild place. Man. We'll take a

1185
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 4: bad thing makes them amazing, So we do.

1186
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 2: His sexy drill. So so sexy drill has replaced love songs.

1187
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're no longer good, We're more like. That's that'shere.

1188
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 12: That's the thing, right, because sexy drill is different from

1189
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 12: what like a little t J or a boogie dude, right,

1190
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 12: so fat that's even crazy.

1191
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 9: A boogie coming over to the sexy drill side now now,

1192
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 9: be honest.

1193
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 4: It's crazy, you know.

1194
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, sexy drift. Now I got to go here the ship.

1195
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 7: Uh that child, you know, listen at your old risk.

1196
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 7: That's all I'm gonna tell you.

1197
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: You know, the biggest thing about what you were saying, uh, Deanie.

1198
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 3: Is that.

1199
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 2: You don't even have to be good nowadays. That's the

1200
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 2: biggest man you.

1201
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 7: Know, but good good, good is subjective though now good no,

1202
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 7: but look, I'm just being honest. Understand, there's a standard

1203
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 7: of good that we have to maintain. But but but

1204
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 7: but then but there's a standard of enjoyment that is

1205
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 7: that is different that that you know what I'm saying.

1206
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 7: And this is the reason why I say that. Like

1207
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 7: my brother, he listens to a lot more genres of

1208
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 7: music than I do. And I think this one chick,

1209
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 7: Georgianna Smith with a j or something like that, right, like,

1210
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 7: he has this one song that is like it feels

1211
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 7: very jazzy. She starts rapping, and like I could be like, bro,

1212
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 7: like I know fifty million rappers that sound better than her,

1213
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 7: but it's viiety And even though I may not like

1214
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 7: her entire quite alogue, she got songs that I'm like, well,

1215
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 7: damn okay, well this shiit fit the vibe. So that's

1216
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 7: why I'm saying, like it's very subjective, Like you don't

1217
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 7: have to be, you know, a hip, hip hoppity rapper

1218
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 7: to be good, to have a good song, to be

1219
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 7: to be consumed for your music to to to to

1220
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 7: move like it doesn't authority. So that's good and it

1221
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 7: is nice. Is that what you say? You separate?

1222
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 9: Because when I hit good, I'm thinking like the boss connect,

1223
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 9: the pocket is right, the breathing is right, the cadence

1224
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 9: is right.

1225
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 7: That's when I think good. And that's what I'm saying.

1226
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 7: But just because you may have a couple of good

1227
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 7: songs doesn't mean that you're a good artist, right right,

1228
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 7: You created moments, and I think and I think that's

1229
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 7: the thing. I think that that's where we're moving just

1230
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 7: as a society and whole beyond hip hop, right because

1231
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 7: because everything is so fast paced now, it's like, how

1232
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 7: do how do we create moments in time?

1233
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 4: And I think that that's where music is.

1234
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 9: At twenty second time. We're not Georgianah Smith is not

1235
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 9: the white girl I'm behind.

1236
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 7: Yes, Oh no, pack up. I have to realize what

00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,160

Speaker 3: Thank you.

1254
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 7: I have to be Why the NBA is diluted?

1255
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 9: Now we done got away from the game and now

1256
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 9: we got specialists and the game don't hit the same.

1257
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 7: And let's let's not talk basketball talking about because because

1258
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 7: we won't be here for another four hours.

1259
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 2: We won't be here for.

1260
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 4: Another four hours.

1261
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 7: Let's go there.

1262
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 4: Oh man, that's all right. Man.

1263
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: I love that conversation. Man, that was dope.

1264
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how we finish off

1265
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: the year when we get to the end of it.

1266
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: But let's talk about artists. Let's talk about albums. So

1267
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with artists first. Who do you guys

1268
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: think needs twenty twenty six to go?

1269
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 2: Right?

1270
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, Jacop that's I mean elephant in the room, right,

1271
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 4: that's it, you know, I.

1272
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 7: Mean everybody else?

1273
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,439
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's Jake Cole, that's the that's the m VP

1274
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 11: of that list. Like a good.

1275
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 9: I think he's been fighting a narrative war. He's been fighting,

1276
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 9: he's been going uphill. A lot of it's self inflicted,

1277
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 9: you know. Again, once you I don't know how you

1278
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 9: guys feel about it. Let me know if I'm tripping.

1279
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 9: But our stance has been, once you enter the ring,

1280
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 9: you can't just walk out the ring. They played your music,

1281
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 9: they announced you. You threw some punches, and then you

1282
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 9: decided that you didn't want to fight no more. And

1283
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 9: hip hop, especially the ilk that he comes from. He

1284
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,439
Speaker 9: came through the league with the things that we liked,

1285
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 9: the things that we represented, and you got in a

1286
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 9: ring with Kendrick.

1287
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 7: After saying you was the best the entire.

1288
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 9: Five years, Kendrick was out of the game essentially, and

1289
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 9: then as soon as it started, you backed out. And

1290
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 9: I think that in that situation, terrible look. One hundred

1291
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 9: percent terrible look. And now you put yourself in a

1292
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 9: position where it's kind of like you get beat up

1293
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 9: on the block. Anybody think you're pussing. Now you got

1294
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 9: at some point get your name back. That's how I'm

1295
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 9: seeing it. You didn't squabble with Kenny. Everyone thinks you're

1296
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 9: a coward. We still know you, Wow, nice. I still

1297
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 9: think Sinner's not here to call me crazy. I still

1298
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 9: think ball football, he could have out wrapped Kendrick if

1299
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 9: they would have got to it. But now you got

1300
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 9: to prove it. There's no escapement.

1301
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 8: In my opinion, I don't know if he ever belonged

1302
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 8: in that arena here we go.

1303
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 7: I don't think that got him to that.

1304
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 4: Arena based on that. It's not even based on that.

1305
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 5: It's not even from a from a from a like A.

1306
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 5: Like I said, I think he does have the bars.

1307
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 5: I don't disagree with you that. That's not what I'm

1308
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 5: saying exactly. I'm just saying that, like I think he

1309
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 5: just should have just never should have gotten involved.

1310
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think he got in.

1311
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 3: But I just think I think he just should have

1312
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 3: never got into it.

1313
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 5: J Cole had had its own little thing going on,

1314
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.

1315
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 3: Like, I think he just should have should have never

1316
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 3: just got in the arena.

1317
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 5: To be quite honest, I don't think and that it's

1318
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 5: not because I don't think he can rap and he

1319
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 5: can't go bar for bar with these guys.

1320
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 3: I just don't think that.

1321
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,479
Speaker 5: Was his He's too too much of a nice guy,

1322
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 5: like no one believed him when he did it, Like

1323
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 5: no nobody believed that you wanted to rap against never never, never,

1324
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 5: ever do we think that that that you wanted to

1325
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 5: do that? So why are you even in this arena now?

1326
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 3: Now?

1327
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 5: Now you can't go around saying that you're best rapper

1328
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 5: and all that, because somebody eventually gonna call y'all.

1329
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 3: So I do agree with you there.

1330
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 5: I think he needs to come off of that and

1331
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 5: just create good music or whatever.

1332
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 3: I don't think he needs to to to stay in

1333
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 3: this all.

1334
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 5: I'm the best rapper out bang. I think he just

1335
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 5: needs to create it. Let people love j Cole for

1336
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 5: what he is, and just stay there. I don't think

1337
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 5: he needs to be in these these battle arenas. Just

1338
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 5: make good music. Just just make stay in your lane,

1339
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 5: make your music, and I think people will love you

1340
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 5: like they were loving. I mean, as soon as he

1341
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 5: jumped into that, everybody turned to gets him this up

1342
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 5: to you know, the Dreamville fans. But but yeah, I

1343
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 5: just I just think he just needs to focus. And

1344
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 5: I think the same thing about Drake. Honestly, I think

1345
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 5: he just needs to focus on good music. You know

1346
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. Just making your hit records. Like that's it, y'all.

1347
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 5: Don't play around with Kendrick. It is the bottom line,

1348
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 5: because that's that's why I'm mad with you. I mean,

1349
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 5: it was great and it was fun and everything, but

1350
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 5: these guys just can't spark with him.

1351
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 6: But one guy just has to stop rapping tough, you

1352
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. Luckily, he's exceptional at rapping from

1353
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 6: a deep introspective perspective, as you heard from the joint

1354
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 6: he just dropped. You know, he can take you into

1355
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 6: those But like Drake is essentially bro. We made like

1356
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 6: Drake music like weird. Get what I'm saying, Like, like

1357
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 6: his actual sound is like weird. Now, you know, That's

1358
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 6: why I feel like he's in a worse off place

1359
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 6: than J Cole because all J Cole got to do

1360
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 6: is stay away from the he gotta go vegan. But this,

1361
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 6: this is like something I don't know what Drake gotta do.

1362
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 6: Drake gotta do a whole nother like because his whole

1363
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 6: sound has been basically watered down and washed like the

1364
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 6: whole He's got to come from a completely different respective.

1365
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 6: We heard a bunch of songs he dropped through the

1366
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 6: year not it really stuck like that, you know, which

1367
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 6: is a new ordeal for him because he's never had

1368
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 6: to deal with that, Which makes me think that his

1369
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 6: year is a little bit more tougher than Cole's. With

1370
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 6: all Cole gotta do is rapp dope got to do

1371
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 6: a lot more than just.

1372
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 7: I disagree with that. I think there's too many people

1373
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 7: who are disappointed with Cole and they got to see

1374
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 7: some ship and I don't think he could just he

1375
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 7: can't get away with that.

1376
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 6: Get rewind part two ain't selling niggas ain't enough.

1377
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 4: It's not enough. Shout out to kiss?

1378
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 11: Did I think you gassed off for today's track? But

1379
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 11: Cole definitely.

1380
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 4: Got more little video like it was today.

1381
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 12: It definitely does, you know what I mean? All the

1382
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 12: props indeed, but Cold, come on Cold.

1383
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 7: You have one way to go.

1384
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 4: Shout out to catch.

1385
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 5: Because because I do not listen to jars, Wow, not

1386
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 5: listen to this man, stay out of this arena.

1387
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 9: I mean, apparently the album might be done already, and

1388
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 9: from what I'm hearing, from what I've heard today, I

1389
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 9: fully anticipate here with some Kenny's direction.

1390
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 3: That'd be the worst mistake ever.

1391
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 4: I believe that one hundred percent, but maybe like an

1392
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 4: explanation of everything that transpired through that whole ship, there's

1393
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 4: gotta be an explanation, like a the official one.

1394
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 9: Don't disk and you're not talking about how you folded

1395
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 9: it from of fifty two thousands of your own people.

1396
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 7: I don't got to talk about that.

1397
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 3: Listen, I'll touch it. I'll touch it.

1398
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,919
Speaker 1: So, no, Drake Iceman's dropping this year. You're Wescot Bully

1399
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: dropping this year. I know he's off.

1400
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 12: It's an important year for Drake for sure, Kanye not

1401
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 12: as much. I think they are what they are, Like,

1402
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 12: Drake fought the fight, he lost, he sued, so it's

1403
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 12: like there's no there's no music that's gonna make him

1404
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 12: come back from that.

1405
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 11: You feel what I'm saying. The fan base is still there,

1406
01:03:59,360 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 11: you know.

1407
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 12: I feel like people very much feel how they gonna

1408
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 12: feel about Drake. But people with J Cole people feel

1409
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 12: a lot more let down because he never actually if

1410
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 12: he just went the mile and got smacked up, it

1411
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 12: wouldn't even matter. But with cole Is his destiny seems unfulfilled,

1412
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 12: you know what I'm saying. So, so if we're talking

1413
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 12: about an important year from From that aspect, I think

1414
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,919
Speaker 12: Cole is leading. I actually wanted to wanted to mention

1415
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 12: JID to keep it in Dreamville. I think it's an

1416
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 12: important year for him as well. He allegedly has an

1417
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 12: album with Metro Booming coming completely produced by Metro. I

1418
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 12: think this, you know, this is as good of a

1419
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 12: chance with you know, j I D has been the

1420
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 12: next guy up for how long now, you know what I.

1421
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 11: Mean, the next guy who's gonna take gold every long time.

1422
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 12: We know the lyricism is there, we know he can

1423
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 12: make great music, but he still hasn't put together that

1424
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 12: that MVP season, that two thousand shock, that ninety one

1425
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 12: Jordan and I feel like he can do that, right.

1426
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 12: I feel like if anybody like Metro show was the coach,

1427
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 12: is the Phil Jackson that he needs, you know what

1428
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 12: I mean, I think he can move up. You know,

1429
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 12: the fellas my guys went live earlier today, they were

1430
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 12: talking about a tier and s tier among rappers.

1431
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 11: You know what I mean. J I D is clearly

1432
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:14,479
Speaker 11: a tier, but.

1433
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 12: I think he still needs that signature, that signature moment,

1434
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 12: that signature year, the album to make it to that

1435
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 12: legendary level, to the way we speak about him as

1436
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 12: one of the all time greats. I think he can

1437
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 12: have that kind of year this year. So I think

1438
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 12: it's it's a very important. He can go from an

1439
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 12: intercontinental champion to a to a world champion this year

1440
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 12: if he do his thing.

1441
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 2: The last album didn't do it.

1442
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 7: Nah, I didn't.

1443
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 11: It was supposed to, you know.

1444
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 2: It was like that.

1445
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 4: I like the one before that better than the one

1446
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 4: that drop, right, So.

1447
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 9: I think Metro is the perfect guy for it. I

1448
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 9: feel like more rappers need to utilize Metro. I think

1449
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 9: he's as great as Metro is that he's still underutilized

1450
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 9: by a lot of talented artists from coast to coast,

1451
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 9: like get into him with Metro Booman. I think this

1452
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 9: beautiful project still to be made with these elite level

1453
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 9: lyricists if they just connect with him.

1454
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 4: And supposedly Benny got an album with him too.

1455
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 2: Bullship.

1456
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 9: I've been asking for that for like three years now,

1457
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 9: Like Yo, I've been tweeting about it.

1458
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 7: I've been potting about it.

1459
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 4: That is the guy, shout.

1460
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 7: I need for that. I need for that.

1461
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 2: I've been asking for that, Bennie and Metro.

1462
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, even talking about this ship for years.

1463
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 7: Bro, Yeah, there's a third party that I know that

1464
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 7: he's been in the studio with them and you know,

1465
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 7: so like he told me that you know they got

1466
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 7: some heat, but I just don't know. It's kind of

1467
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 7: like soft Walker and that Bust of Ryan's joined at

1468
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 7: me and be been weighing on for for years now.

1469
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like, it's a who's the

1470
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 4: guy that Benny liked to collabor with? Not not just Alchemist,

1471
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 4: who's the other producer?

1472
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 2: No?

1473
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no no that made like the.

1474
01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 7: Drummers ship Nah there And so it's a sauce Walker

1475
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 7: feature in Bust. The rhymes on the Darrener beat and

1476
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 7: it's fucking crazy, but it has it come out.

1477
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 9: You just made my day, Bro, Benny Metro, I've been

1478
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 9: asking for that, dropped the project with Harry Froud.

1479
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 7: I think I said, that's the next guy you need

1480
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 7: to connect with him.

1481
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 3: Boy was he did with him?

1482
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 4: Boys? So yeah, the only one that liked it on

1483
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 4: the crew.

1484
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 7: Get Out of the Proof is Benny's best work Key,

1485
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 7: It's it's one of them. It's one of them. Uh,

1486
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 7: it's one of them.

1487
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 2: Top best work key.

1488
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 7: Nobody else on that hip hop is having it except

1489
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 7: for me. But you got company tonight.

1490
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 4: I appreciate.

1491
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 2: Man.

1492
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 7: Hey, man, I might have to get traded, bro, I

1493
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 7: might have to the trade.

1494
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 4: Like three first round picks over there. Man.

1495
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 7: Uh what about.

1496
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 3: Role that project is called? God doesn't like.

1497
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 2: I was better than the last one?

1498
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1499
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 5: I wonder where he's going with like yeah saying like

1500
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 5: saying it's type of title.

1501
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 7: I guess he's trying to make his little series that

1502
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 7: makes sense, you know, tie.

1503
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: It all together. Yeah, that work. I'm with that.

1504
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 4: What about Baby King?

1505
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 2: Man, I got two more names. I'm gonna out and

1506
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 2: then we're gonna get some album.

1507
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 7: Baby needs to Baby, he needs to ride away, bro.

1508
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 7: And what I mean by that is, you know, don't

1509
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 7: just I know. But but here's the thing though, because

1510
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 7: of the name and the affiliation, anytime he's like on

1511
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 7: a feature or on ship, it's like, oh ship, it's

1512
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 7: like not ride that old ship moment for the rest

1513
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 7: of the year.

1514
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 4: And he hasn't done that.

1515
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,679
Speaker 7: And I think that that's what's hurting him, bro, because

1516
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 7: it's too sporadic. It's like it doesn't feel like it's playing.

1517
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 7: It just feels like, Okay, well, yeah, I'm jup. Just

1518
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 7: hear him gonna do that there, and it's just like, yo,

1519
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 7: like we need momentum, like because he's still so new,

1520
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 7: like we don't really have body bodies of work.

1521
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 4: So it's like, bro, like.

1522
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 7: We we we need that and baby K needs to

1523
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 7: be more strategic.

1524
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 3: That's one of the biggest mysteries in hip hop because

1525
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 3: he woudn't even have to.

1526
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 7: Pop out right, I don't think that's what I'm saying, bro, Like,

1527
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 7: it just it just feels like it's just random.

1528
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:32,440
Speaker 1: And I think he had a really really good opportunity.

1529
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 13: Man, when everybody was watching Mmm anything can ThReD had

1530
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 13: had his hands on when it comes to music, man,

1531
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 13: people were up alive.

1532
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 4: But the game, the game is. The game is different.

1533
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 6: You can spok up and like the next day like

1534
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 6: if him and say him and can't you drop the

1535
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 6: joint tomorrow? It'll be right back in conversations told especially

1536
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:56,640
Speaker 6: if the ship was fired, you know, like that's the

1537
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 6: crazy part about hip hop, Like you like but when

1538
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 6: Hoole said you only want it away, like he really

1539
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 6: meant it, bro, Like, it's really right there if he

1540
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 6: dropped it, like the three main songs we know from him,

1541
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 6: are kind of Kendrick affiliated songs, you know, so if

1542
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 6: him and Kendrick drop sout and it just happens to

1543
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 6: be fired, not like he'll Billy and some ship, but

1544
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 6: like Family Ties.

1545
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 7: Niggas love Hillbillies though not me, but they love Hillbilly's.

1546
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 7: Family Ties is amazing though, Like yeah, like just just

1547
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 7: something to create the momentum and after that he would

1548
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 7: have to take the reins for himself. But like at

1549
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 7: this point, Kendrick is the battery, you know, so long

1550
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 7: as Kendrick is there. You don't think King could pop

1551
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 7: out without Kenny and do a right.

1552
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 3: Four years. It's crazy.

1553
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 12: But Kim is all about about consistency and you know,

1554
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 12: just wanting to be out there because we the music

1555
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 12: has been fired whenever he pop out. Right, you mentioned

1556
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 12: Family Ties that might have been the song of the

1557
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 12: year a year and dropped then Bro just dropped off

1558
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,600
Speaker 12: the face of the earth. One thing about Kim is

1559
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 12: that he he he can hold a very important position

1560
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 12: and rap. He can bring a certain musical legitimacy to that,

1561
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 12: like play with Cardi don Tolliver that melodic lane that

1562
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 12: that a lot of you know, a certain demographic won't

1563
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 12: listen to guys like us will when it's baby came

1564
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 12: because he he's.

1565
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 11: That dope with it.

1566
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 12: But at the same time, he could appeal to you know,

1567
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 12: some kid that listens to destroy Lonely, So I think

1568
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,640
Speaker 12: he's he could potentially be a very important figure in

1569
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 12: twenty twenty six.

1570
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 11: He just gotta won it.

1571
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, y'all messed with Detroy Lonely. Nah.

1572
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 11: I definitely not.

1573
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 2: Heard him.

01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 4: I heard him, you know, but I'm good. I know

01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 4: they're gonna be at the governor. They're gonna be at

1576
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:38,680

Speaker 9: I've seen him on the list, So yeah, if we're lucky,

1612
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 5: own album dropping. So I'm looking looking to see what

1613
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 5: he does. I'm looking to see how how Doc comes

1614
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 5: back out. I think I don't under depression, you know

1615
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 5: what I mean. I'm looking looking forward to see see

1616
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 5: what what she does. You know, I know we already

1617
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 5: talked about it, but Jay Cole, I'm curious to see,

1618
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 5: you know, how he overcomes the situation and he seems

1619
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 5: like he's very focused on on creating a good album.

1620
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 5: Let's see Freddy gives Ka Trinada got something they're trying

1621
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 5: to do. That's fine, so that should be cool.

1622
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 3: I want to hear someone Isaiah Rashard too.

1623
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 5: I see up on the list too to be trying

1624
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:26,799
Speaker 5: to drop something.

1625
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 3: So that's just the few for my end.

1626
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 7: I need that Stove gud I need I need that

1627
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 7: Stove gud Bro. I need that Stove guy. I think

1628
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 7: Stove Got had a really good twenty twenty five, you know,

1629
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 7: with the clips feature and then you know he was

1630
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,759
Speaker 7: on Joint Jada podcast and he played a joint there,

1631
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 7: like like I think anybody that's tapped into Griselda in

1632
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 7: that whole wave, like that Stove God project Bro is

1633
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 7: like end all be all right now. So I don't

1634
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 7: want to hear nothing else until I hear that. You know,

1635
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 7: I'm a big a SOB Rocky guy, so I'm here

1636
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 7: for asp Rocky. I want to see what Iceman does,

1637
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,560
Speaker 7: like you know what I'm saying, Like it'll be interesting.

1638
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:11,679
Speaker 7: You know, he came out with what did I miss?

1639
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 7: And you know that was a miss? So we'll see

1640
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 7: what else is on that project, you know, last one,

1641
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 7: I don't know, like those are the ones, you know,

1642
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 7: Like I got my other favorite artists, but they already

1643
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 7: gave me stuff in twenty twenty five, so if I

1644
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 7: don't get none in twenty twenty sixth but can I

1645
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 7: do want to ask you about yeat.

1646
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:40,559
Speaker 1: You you want a new year yeating man, y'all gonna

1647
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: get on board.

1648
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 9: Hey, I agree with you about Stove. I'm in the

1649
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,719
Speaker 9: minority of people was really mad a goat stamp dropped.

1650
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 7: I thought that song was fire.

1651
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 9: I think that people really overreacted in the negative way

1652
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 9: towards that single. Definitely looking forward to Stove. It's not announced,

1653
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 9: but a part of me still is holding out hope

1654
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 9: that jay Z come outside in twenty twenty six There

1655
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 9: was just too much chatter for people who might know

1656
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:02,719
Speaker 9: that he might have been dropping something.

1657
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 7: So I'm holding out some hole, some real hole for that.

1658
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 7: Of course. May see you mentioned a Jed project. I'm

1659
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 7: curious to see what that sounds like because we could

1660
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 7: get our hopes up as much as we want, then

1661
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 7: it might not be what we envisioned it to be.

1662
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 7: But if it is, in fact when we envisioned it

1663
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 7: to be, there, I think that's a mega album on

1664
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 7: the way. Because I said maybe a month ago, I'm

1665
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 7: enjoying hip hop. I'm enjoying the projects, but I'm waiting

1666
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 7: for that next album, that next truly groundbreaking sonical lyrical

1667
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 7: experience in an artists to really raise the stakes, raise

1668
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 7: the level. And I think We've gotten some really good albums,

1669
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 7: but I'm waiting for that next Keyno album that we

1670
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 7: all talk about twenty years from now, And I'm like,

1671
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 7: who's gonna put that together? And I think a combination

1672
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 7: as prolific as a JID in a Metro Woman could

1673
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 7: be something that we could be talking about for times

1674
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,600
Speaker 7: to come. So hopefully I get a j album, but

1675
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 7: I'm really looking forward to that Jid album.

1676
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,520
Speaker 6: Like everything y'all just named, I just want more collaborative

1677
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 6: albums I was. I talked about this album at the

1678
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 6: end of twenty twenty four. I said, what I would

1679
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 6: like to see coming into twenty twenty five is like

1680
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 6: some dope, rapper producer, collab albums, and we got a bunch,

1681
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:14,679
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. We got the clips with Pharrell,

1682
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 6: we got the Freddy Gibbs and Alchemists. We got the

1683
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 6: Conductor and the Rome Streets, Rome Streets Conductor, Ransom Primo,

1684
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 6: Larry June two changed Alchemists like Shout Out, the Premo

1685
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 6: and nas. We got a lot, you know, so and

1686
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 6: a lot of these projects were like really dope, and

1687
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 6: I want to see more of that coming into the year,

1688
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 6: you know.

1689
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 4: But even even something like.

1690
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 6: Rapper rapper producer albums, you know, like a combo rappers

1691
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 6: with one producer, and just it just seems like it's working. Bro,

1692
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 6: Like all the albums, even if they're not the best

1693
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 6: album to you, you just hit the quality of the

1694
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 6: of I guess being in the same room or working together,

1695
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 6: and it's just it's just been a beautiful experience in

1696
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five.

1697
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 4: But I hope to see a lot more of it

1698
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:56,559
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six.

1699
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 9: I'd like to see Rome Douce signing a little smoother too.

1700
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 9: Like when we went to the the pop up for

1701
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 9: Mass Appeal, he said he has some things in the Chamber.

1702
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 9: I'd like to see him take a different journey sonically,

1703
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 9: you know, I kind of want to. I want to

1704
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 9: hear him get back to the Pregriseld the Rome as

1705
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 9: far as the sonics go, you know what I mean.

1706
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 9: I want to contraband kind of way Roman, you know

1707
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 9: what I mean, dirty but very rich.

1708
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 7: At the same time, he's gone so deep in the

1709
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 7: dirt lead.

1710
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:27,959
Speaker 2: Projects.

1711
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 9: Kind of want him to veer away from that selfish.

1712
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 9: If he gets that, I'll be very based.

1713
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 4: So let me.

1714
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 7: I'm a bush of bubble just a little bit. Right,

1715
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 7: Like we had Rome on and Rome was talking about,

1716
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 7: you know, these one producer projects because I asked him that, Hey, like,

1717
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 7: because it just feels like the quality of music we're

1718
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 7: up once you just started linking in, and he said,

1719
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 7: the majority of what he records, he's rarely in the

1720
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,799
Speaker 7: room with anybody else. Yeah, whether it be the producer

1721
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 7: or Yeah, he just he liked to lock in on

1722
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 7: his own and it is what it is. So you know,

1723
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 7: I thought I thought that was a little weird because,

1724
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 7: like I asked him about the rooftop joint that he

1725
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 7: did with Ransom, Yes, and how they were going back

1726
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 7: and forth and he was like, yeah, like I recorded,

1727
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 7: he recorded, send it back. I'm like, yo, but it's

1728
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 7: not like y'all think it right in the room together.

1729
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 6: That very when that album dropped, they had a I

1730
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 6: was listening at party.

1731
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 4: We weren't.

1732
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 6: We interviewed them about the album, bro, and we learned

1733
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:26,680
Speaker 6: so much about the ship. You get what I'm saying, Like,

1734
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 6: there were just so much intricate parts in the crazy part.

1735
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 4: They weren't.

1736
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 6: They weren't like locked in together when they did it.

1737
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 6: They were sending shit like That's one of the rare

1738
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 6: times we're sending music back and forth. Still led to

1739
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 6: like something super cohesive. So shout out to those good brothers.

1740
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 9: I like if Rome's tonically gave us something like that

1741
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 9: where But then again, you could tell that that Ray

1742
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:44,760
Speaker 9: was picking the beats for the most part on that.

1743
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:47,719
Speaker 7: But geez, I just think Rome getting in that funk

1744
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 7: bag as opposed to these dirty drum less samples.

1745
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna say the oppa thing because I went

1746
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 9: out of bound that time, but the dirty drummers, I

1747
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:57,720
Speaker 9: just don't want to hear that from him no more.

1748
01:19:57,760 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 2: I think Rome.

1749
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 9: Rome's voice is such a did I feel like if

1750
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,040
Speaker 9: he gets a little more in that soul bad when I.

1751
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,839
Speaker 2: Funk back with his vote his vocal tone.

01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 12: No, y'all, y'all, y'all mentioned most of them. Obviously they

1757

Speaker 7: You're not waiting for Homie who dropped that single through

1759
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 7: the group chat roll with the over bite, I'm talking

1760
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 7: about Smiling Smiley, you know, Smiley back to the writing

1761
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,680
Speaker 7: camps for Smiley.

1762
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 12: But you know, obviously you mentioned's next project. You know,

1763
01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 12: is very interesting to me because we often find ourselves,

1764
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 12: especially at our ages, speaking about either artists that are

1765
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 12: already in their prim or past. They prom Doci's the

1766
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:08,679
Speaker 12: artist that hasn't even reached her prime yet.

1767
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 11: For me, so I'm very excited to see what she

1768
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 11: takes it.

1769
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 12: She already got a Grammy, she already got the notoriety,

1770
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 12: she already got the hate, you know what I mean.

1771
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 12: So see, I'm very I'm very interested, you know, shouts

1772
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 12: the Nikki, But I feel like we Doci might be

1773
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 12: the one to take over, you know, where Meg or

1774
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 12: Cardi or anybody.

1775
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 11: Else was supposed to.

1776
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,639
Speaker 12: I think Dochi is set up to really take over

1777
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 12: that spot. So I'm interested to see what her next

1778
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 12: album is going. I'm I'm interested personally, you know, with

1779
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 12: all of you know, y'all spoke about how Lanta took

1780
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 12: it from New York and this and that Atlanta had

1781
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 12: a rough year. So I want to hear with I

1782
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 12: want to hear future the last moment getting out of it,

1783
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 12: you know what I mean. I want to you know,

1784
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 12: with everything that is going over there, it seemed like

1785
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 12: he's the only one that is held his honor, you

1786
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 12: know what I mean. And in twenty twenty four he

1787
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 12: had one of his best years. Remember he started this

1788
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 12: whole Kendrick Drake situation and then went on and dropped

1789
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,720
Speaker 12: nothing but heat for the rest of the year. So

1790
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 12: I'm very interested to see the future can hold it together,

1791
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 12: you know what I'm saying.

1792
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 11: Same way we used to wait for jay Z to

1793
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 11: come out when.

1794
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 7: It was conserveable.

1795
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 9: He cut the dreads off he got is he Samson?

1796
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 7: Did he losing super powers?

1797
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 6: I've seen him perform in Atlanta last year and the

1798
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 6: energy was still there, the crowd, everything was still rocking.

1799
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 4: The hair is not there, but the energy still is.

1800
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 4: That's my concern. So that's what I need.

1801
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:33,680
Speaker 2: Rob. What were you about to.

1802
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 1: Say, brother saying something about collaboration.

1803
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know he was talking about rapping producer combinations.

1804
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 5: Deanie was talking, but I know it's too. In particular

1805
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 5: that I saw was uh Makami and Conductor, like I

1806
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 5: think that'll be that'll be dope.

1807
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 2: I saw.

1808
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:00,879
Speaker 3: The one that was really interesting was to change static Selector.

1809
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 7: I saw that, Hey, hey bro, hey look man, static

1810
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 7: Selector got a lot of fucking joints with artists that

1811
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 7: you would have never thought work. And Ken did fucking

1812
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 7: the bum beat trip Static three or some ship like that, bro,

1813
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 7: and that ship.

1814
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:16,759
Speaker 4: That ship moves.

1815
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 7: So I'm not like seeing it like on paper is

1816
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 7: like oh ship, but like knowing the history of Status

1817
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:24,600
Speaker 7: select that what he's been doing the last four or

1818
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 7: five years, like it don't surprise me. And it also

1819
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 7: doesn't surprise me from too Chase perspective, because he's moving

1820
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 7: more into that independent world, like he's like fuck the mainstream.

1821
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 7: That like I'm doing this ship, which is why he

1822
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 7: did the joint with Larry June and Alchemists, Like, who

1823
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,560
Speaker 7: the fuck at rapping and he's rapping, you know what

1824
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 7: I'm saying. So yeah, I'm I'm for it. I think

1825
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 7: that's actually gonna be a really good project Alchemists. The

1826
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 7: other one that I saw was Alchemist and Big Sean.

1827
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:58,519
Speaker 4: M so low key. So here's the thing. So, so

1828
01:23:58,640 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 4: that is run.

1829
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 7: I don't think he will because that collaboration came about

1830
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 7: when him and Larry June did the Great Escape and

1831
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 7: Larry Junes got that Big Sean feature, and that's kind of.

1832
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 4: I think it was right, yep yep.

1833
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 7: So I think if Big Sean puts himself in Alchemist's world,

1834
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 7: I think he'll be fine.

1835
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:25,639
Speaker 4: But if Big.

1836
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 7: Sean is like Noah, like this is what I want

1837
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 7: to do and he's making Alchemists conform to being shot,

1838
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 7: I think that's gonna be that's gonna be a issue

1839
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 7: and it will fuck up Alchemist run. What did you

1840
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:38,719
Speaker 7: think about Detroit Too as a platform?

1841
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 4: People love it, We ain't like it.

1842
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,800
Speaker 7: I'm people, I love that project Detroit to.

1843
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 4: No, that isn't that the one that we just know.

1844
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 4: That's the one that we just reviewed. That was his

1845
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 4: last one.

1846
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 7: It's not even about music that was produced by head Boy.

1847
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 4: The first Detroit was good progress coming.

1848
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 7: I think he was in his bag on Detroit Too.

1849
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 7: I felt like that's something that that those beats and

1850
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 7: that and and the way he sequenced it, even like

1851
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 7: the breaks in between the songs. I think that's the bag.

1852
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 7: And she loves into me personally anyway.

1853
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 6: Just always it's never his rapping ability.

1854
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 7: We all know. I just don't see it for him

1855
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 7: with Alchemists on.

1856
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 2: A full project, bro, But that's I think.

1857
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 4: I think Alchemists can bring him to life.

1858
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 6: It's it's it's everything outside of that that I'd be

1859
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 6: worried about rather.

1860
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:33,160
Speaker 7: So hold on, job, I take that back. I think

1861
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 7: Detroit Too was all right. So that's the one that

1862
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 7: he dropped in twenty twenty Rock the one that we

1863
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 7: reviewed was better better than you.

1864
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 4: That one was was.

1865
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so yeah, we we're on the same page.

1866
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, that one's cool.

1867
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.

1868
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 4: Like that deep brotherenced.

1869
01:25:55,560 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, for the lyrical nerves out there, the godfin ain't

1870
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 9: been looking up and craving.

1871
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 7: They've been putting on some heat, you know what I mean?

1872
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 7: Tapping with that.

1873
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 3: For sure.

1874
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,559
Speaker 1: That's all the root. Yeah, the roots got something coming out.

1875
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 1: I think there's another cheat codes coming out.

1876
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, should be dope.

1877
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 2: Uh. I'll listen to it, but I'm not chasing it,

1878
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 2: if that makes sense.

1879
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 3: I seen being the Alchemist too with forensics.

1880
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 2: Mmmm.

1881
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 3: That could be good, that could be that.

1882
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 4: Could be crazy, you see.

1883
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 2: And then y'all messed with Keylock like key.

1884
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 12: Clock time to make a song man, Me and y'all

1885
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 12: be sitting Keylock songs.

1886
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I like missing key Clock, you know.

1887
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 9: I think Membhers is my favorite city outside of New

1888
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 9: York right now. Like for the Raps, I don't know

1889
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 9: why I don't like. I don't know what they doing,

1890
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 9: but it just it's working for me right now.

1891
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 7: Low money, hey real quick, let me ask y' all question.

1892
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 7: Y'all fucking with that Max being uh uh?

1893
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 2: All right? So the.

1894
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 4: Joints on there, that's like Hiley Flyer Bro Like I.

1895
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 6: Can't as a total projects, it's not the best work,

1896
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,760
Speaker 6: but there are there are some heavy hitters on the album.

1897
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 6: I always say an album is not always gonna be

1898
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 6: great to everybody. If you got two or three records

1899
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:26,839
Speaker 6: that stand out that you can take home from that album.

1900
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:28,839
Speaker 4: I think that is an accomplishment of itself.

1901
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 6: The other since she left me ship Fire and the

1902
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 6: Ship that Go right after that, the pill shit that

1903
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 6: those two back to back bro are like a game

1904
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 6: changer for me. If I had to do a top

1905
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,600
Speaker 6: fifty songs for the end of the year, probably be

1906
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 6: on it.

1907
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 4: I love them.

1908
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 9: I just when it comes to Max Bro, I love

1909
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 9: but d N and now we're going to the show

1910
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 9: this Saturday, Like I love Max, you know, but I

1911
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 9: think he I don't know what to expect, but I'm

1912
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,599
Speaker 9: giving him a wide runway as far as like allowing

1913
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 9: him to I'm not paused and applicable, like to really

1914
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:05,680
Speaker 9: land the plane and be the Max that we know

1915
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 9: in love. But I don't know if he can the Max,

1916
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 9: the Max I had to go sit for all the years,

1917
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 9: the vocal tonality, the ability to whole lot.

1918
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 7: No, do those crazy hooks be be the waveist. I

1919
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 7: haven't heard that yet. I'm not gonna lie to you.

1920
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 9: I don't want I'm not gonna criticize him because I'm

1921
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 9: allowing him time to get in shape. I believe that

1922
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 9: he's still not in rapper shape yet. But I'm winning

1923
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:27,559
Speaker 9: on the Max. I had to go sit or at

1924
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,680
Speaker 9: least something close to it, because if he's doing all

1925
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 9: these records and he not even holding the notes and

1926
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 9: you got only doing all the vocals, like as far

1927
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 9: as like the French doing all the melodies, I'm like,

1928
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 9: that's not the Max I want to hear. That's not

1929
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 9: the Max I fell in love with, you know, like

1930
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 9: again anytime every year I go through a Max bet

1931
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 9: Binge were going to right before he had to go.

1932
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,639
Speaker 7: Sit Max, And I'm like, we haven't heard that guy yet.

1933
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 7: I'm not sure if he can, and I'd like to

1934
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 7: hear it. Can he perform that soft on Saturday? And

1935
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 7: that sound crazy?

1936
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1937
01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:00,639
Speaker 4: I think he can bug these states from the effort

1938
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 4: in bar.

1939
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:07,799
Speaker 7: I just feel like Max Max yet that's all yeah, yeah,

1940
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 7: But it ain't been home long, you know.

1941
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 6: It's a lot you I mean, I don't think the

1942
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 6: niggall be wrapping in the cell for seventeen years. You know,

1943
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 6: there's a lot of other present interest to worry about.

1944
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 6: But I'm sure he been home for a bit. I'm

1945
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:18,880
Speaker 6: sure it's all him.

1946
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,800
Speaker 7: He was a superhero before he went to jail, like

1947
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 7: I need that wavy won.

1948
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's the thing, Like you as your guy, as

1949
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 12: you guys can see what as.

1950
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 11: New York is.

1951
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 12: We're very optimistic, yes, really so you know the music

1952
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 12: hasn't hasn't you know, it hasn't connected, It hasn't, you know,

1953
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:44,519
Speaker 12: not the new album, not the other jointy job.

1954
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 11: But I also agree, he's he's he's clearly not in shape.

1955
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:50,680
Speaker 11: And and maxis in for me.

1956
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:53,479
Speaker 12: Max is in a difficult position because what we loved

1957
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:57,759
Speaker 12: about Max was the wave, right, the melodies, the humor,

1958
01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 12: you know, the non serious the non seriousness of it.

1959
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 12: You know, but this is a moment where we kind

1960
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 12: of want him to get serious, right. We want to

1961
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 12: hear what happened. We want to hear what his life

1962
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:10,599
Speaker 12: is like, want to hear what was going through his mind.

1963
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 12: So it's like, it may be the things that we're

1964
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 12: asking for is not things that he can quite deliver

1965
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 12: with his artistry.

1966
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:19,200
Speaker 11: And I feel like that's the difficulty he may be

1967
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 11: having right now.

1968
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 1: Well, I got halfway through the album, oh man, so

1969
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: but now that every ever since you left me.

01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 2: Just put it on here and be lying, yeah, I

1989
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 2: don't see it, you know that. I think the Game

1990
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,360
Speaker 2: Documentary three three.

1991
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 1: I knew it was something I was missing and apparently

1992
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:39,920
Speaker 1: got something on here. But the Game Documentary three is

1993
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:40,519

Speaker 12: if this is heat this, that's good enough for me.

2004
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:09,480
Speaker 11: I don't really need documentary.

2005
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:09,720
Speaker 2: Three.

2006
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 1: Did y'all mention anything about Rocky I.

2007
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:18,640
Speaker 2: Was.

2008
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 11: I was looking forward to it before I heard the

2009
01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:21,679
Speaker 11: new joke.

2010
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 7: That's crazy. Actually, I actually want to hear it more

2011
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:31,639
Speaker 7: after hearing the first two singles. Yeah, yeah, the first

2012
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 7: I turned it off. It's because you a hater, Ken,

2013
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,320
Speaker 7: It's because you're a hater. That's that that that's the

2014
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:41,439
Speaker 7: reason why you turn that ship off. But not like, like,

2015
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:43,559
Speaker 7: here's the thing. I don't think that either one of

2016
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 7: those tracks are stellar on their own, but I want

2017
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 7: to hear it in the context of the album because

2018
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 7: because not his life, not testing, but the one before testing,

2019
01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:55,680
Speaker 7: like that album. If you would have just played me

2020
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 7: outside of a Lord Pretty Flock with Jody that outside

2021
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 7: of that one, you play me any random one, I'm like, well,

2022
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:05,679
Speaker 7: how the fun does this like work in the album?

2023
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 7: But like the album works like in totality, So I

2024
01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:11,719
Speaker 7: think this might be that you know what I'm saying,

2025
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 7: So I don't disagree with you based like you know,

2026
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:17,200
Speaker 7: I listened to him. I'm not like, oh my god,

2027
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:19,920
Speaker 7: this ship about to be the craziest ship. It's just like,

2028
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 7: I'm just I'm reserved. I'm like, Okay, let me hear

2029
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 7: the album because I don't think they're trash, but they

2030
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 7: might sound better in the context.

2031
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 11: I'm not mad at that. And Roy is an album artist,

2032
01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 11: so yeah.

2033
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 7: I mean, Rocky beat the game.

2034
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:36,680
Speaker 2: Bro, he's rich, he got Rihanna, he beat the charges.

2035
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:43,800
Speaker 4: Second, don't be dumb, for real, don't be dumb.

2036
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:50,000
Speaker 1: Look the clear album of the year. It's going to

2037
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 1: beat Jill Scott's new album. I just want to put that.

2038
01:33:56,920 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 2: Jill Scott's gonna be album.

2039
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:00,439
Speaker 7: R and B.

2040
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, all right, well cool, cool, cool, Okay, well,

2041
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:10,960
Speaker 1: great conversation.

2042
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:14,439
Speaker 2: Let's uh hit a couple of super chats real quick.

2043
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 2: We got jer me cold.

2044
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 1: The pressure is on the our, Oh I guess it's

2045
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:26,360
Speaker 1: only going to be more intensive.

2046
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:29,600
Speaker 2: Cold drops an absolutely eater after g n X was

2047
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 2: such a smash.

2048
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's pressure on them?

2049
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 5: I'm just kind of saying that in the convo we

2050
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 5: had before the live that Wedrop this week, that that's

2051
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:41,960
Speaker 5: what I was pretty much.

2052
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 2: So now is a good time to ask what did

2053
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:45,599
Speaker 2: y'all think about the cold single?

2054
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 6: Don't interesting concept fire video video really made them brought

2055
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:53,559
Speaker 6: the whole ship home.

2056
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 9: Clips the two clips we got, which is the clip

2057
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,800
Speaker 9: at the end of the video with the first I'm

2058
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 9: calling it the street single because I don't know if

2059
01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:05,519
Speaker 9: that's the actual single, and then the first clip that

2060
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 9: announced the album. I think there's all those all three

2061
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 9: clips that I heard from Cole today. So s Taer,

2062
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 9: everything is es tier from core right now. He's doing

2063
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:15,519
Speaker 9: exactly what he needs to do as far as changing

2064
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 9: the narratives around him. To me again, I'm sorry, there's

2065
01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:21,559
Speaker 9: no escaping it you. It's on your name.

2066
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 7: As much as you could say he shouldn't, the reality

2067
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:28,719
Speaker 7: is when you go outside and it's not just us

2068
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 7: in the pod space or the common sex you had

2069
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 7: like people, your peers saying these things about you. So

2070
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:36,479
Speaker 7: he knows, even if let's say he doesn't say nothing

2071
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 7: to catch it, he knows that this album has to

2072
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 7: be gassed, has to be Diesel. In fact, you know

2073
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 7: what I mean, it has to.

2074
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 9: Be And I think so far from when we heard today,

2075
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:49,760
Speaker 9: he's approaching this project like it's going to be.

2076
01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 12: That I can agree with that I think it's gonna

2077
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 12: be fire. And one thing about Cole is that he

2078
01:35:56,560 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 12: was in his absolute peak as an artist before this happened.

2079
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:03,759
Speaker 11: He's gonna on that.

2080
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:05,960
Speaker 9: All the more reason why he should have gotten the

2081
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:07,920
Speaker 9: ring with Old Boy probably would have won.

2082
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,519
Speaker 4: Yep, Yeah, I don't know about that, but.

2083
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just trying to stir a little bit.

2084
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:16,360
Speaker 10: You know.

2085
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 1: Uh, do y'all think Rapids reached this peak as far

2086
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:24,120
Speaker 1: as creativity and new innovative sound and flows, everything is

2087
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:25,360
Speaker 1: starting to get redundant?

2088
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:30,479
Speaker 6: Nope, Nah, define definitely more values to to to climb over.

2089
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 4: Just got to use the antivity and dig deep pause.

2090
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 12: That's that's when you got to compartmentalize, because all that

2091
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 12: really mean is that you're getting older. Because shit sounded

2092
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,439
Speaker 12: better when I was seventeen too. You know what I'm saying, Nah,

2093
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:42,599
Speaker 12: I think facts.

2094
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 9: I think there's a situation where like you have like

2095
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 9: choppy seas, and then there's there's a period where.

2096
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:49,479
Speaker 7: Everything is smooth. I think everything is smooth right now.

2097
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,160
Speaker 9: That's why I was saying a few minutes ago, there's

2098
01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 9: gonna be an album that's gonna land in the water,

2099
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:54,760
Speaker 9: cause Mad Waves is gonna shake sh it up and

2100
01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 9: then artists are gonna try to chase that thing. I

2101
01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 9: just think we're just waiting on our next project to

2102
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:00,120
Speaker 9: really land.

2103
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:01,559
Speaker 2: Be like, what the fuck is this?

2104
01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 9: Because as great as the Clips album was last year,

2105
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 9: I think that was the best album last year, it

2106
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:09,280
Speaker 9: wasn't like genre shifting on groundbreaking in that it was

2107
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 9: like I've never heard something like this before, which is

2108
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:13,439
Speaker 9: really great rap music. There's an album we don't know

2109
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 9: what it is, but there's an album that's gonna land

2110
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 9: that's gonna really be the Keynote period and we're gonna

2111
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 9: be like, Oh, that's the thing, and there's gonna be

2112
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 9: a lot of artist chasing behind that.

2113
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:24,640
Speaker 2: M Let me ask you this.

2114
01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 1: Do you do you guys think the albums after the

2115
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 1: Clips album and how that was just we just sat

2116
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 1: with it, but damn there the whole year. Do you

2117
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:39,559
Speaker 1: guys think that the album still carry that cultural weight

2118
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 1: or we're just gonna it's just gonna feel like Timelines now,

2119
01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:45,280
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be here today and gone tomorrow.

2120
01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:46,759
Speaker 7: Good albums stick around.

2121
01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:48,719
Speaker 6: As a person, I was there at the show, shout

2122
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 6: out to Jovi. You know what I'm saying, Like the

2123
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:54,160
Speaker 6: energy bro and the craziest part about it, like I've

2124
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 6: never been to a show where I could look to

2125
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:57,920
Speaker 6: my left and see a dudeo's fifty, and look to

2126
01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:00,080
Speaker 6: my right and see a dude's eighteen, Like that was

2127
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:02,800
Speaker 6: like an eye opening experience for me. And to watch,

2128
01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 6: like to watch those eighteen year olds, like when they

2129
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 6: play shit like from Lord Willing and Hell Hath No Fury,

2130
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 6: how they're quiet as church mouse while the fifty forty

2131
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 6: year olds are going crazy and they hit them, put

2132
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 6: them like God sort them out.

2133
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 4: And to see the eighteen year.

2134
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:19,200
Speaker 6: Olds wild, bro, Like it was an experience to see,

2135
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 6: like the youth are really fucking with this album, you know,

2136
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 6: from two fifty year old legendary rappers with it. You know,

2137
01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:27,559
Speaker 6: I just feel like I'm more worried about what's next,

2138
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:29,800
Speaker 6: Like maybe the one of the best rolls out we've

2139
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:31,559
Speaker 6: maybe the best roll out we've seen in the last

2140
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 6: with five to ten years, Like it just everything worked

2141
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 6: out beautifully for these dudes.

2142
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 4: And the crazy part is it was so organic.

2143
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 6: Nothing felt forced, from the Louis Vuitton to the interviews

2144
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:41,719
Speaker 6: that they did.

2145
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:43,559
Speaker 4: It just it was so natural, bro.

2146
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 6: It felt like hip hop, you know what I'm saying,

2147
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:47,800
Speaker 6: and I just think the game, the game's missing that.

2148
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:49,559
Speaker 4: And I love the energy they brought with that.

2149
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 7: Cold doing that. Right now, I think this is just

2150
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 7: phase one for j Car.

2151
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:55,400
Speaker 9: I think he gonna take a lot of the same

2152
01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:57,679
Speaker 9: steps that close they were putting this album on, really

2153
01:38:57,800 --> 01:38:59,719
Speaker 9: building the anticipation over the next few weeks.

2154
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:02,680
Speaker 4: He ice skating up a hill. Though right now it's

2155
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 4: a lot of.

2156
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 9: Double you dropping a double album. We know, we all

2157
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 9: know the rules, like you know, they say there's no

2158
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 9: rules to rap, but all all of the golds or

2159
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 9: the guys who are considered in that conversation, they got

2160
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 9: one of those to their name.

2161
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,360
Speaker 7: So this is an interesting task. It's different.

2162
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 9: It's an interesting challenge, I believe for Cole, especially at

2163
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 9: this point in his career with everything that's surrounded his name.

2164
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 12: That's the thing about the clips, Like when you talk

2165
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:29,080
Speaker 12: about cultural relevancy and how much it meant to think

2166
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:32,720
Speaker 12: that the clips were very intentional about specifically that they

2167
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:34,840
Speaker 12: made you care before the album drop, they made you

2168
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 12: care win the album drop, and they still making us

2169
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,080
Speaker 12: care now, right so there has to be a lot

2170
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 12: more of that.

2171
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 11: You know.

2172
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 7: Gn X is.

2173
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:44,639
Speaker 12: Great music, but you're telling me that that world famous

2174
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 12: tour where we seeing the whole world bumping the album

2175
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 12: then add to its lore and add to its cultural relevancy.

2176
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 11: Artists gotta act like they give a fuck, you know.

2177
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 12: What I'm saying. They gotta they gotta make they gotta

2178
01:39:57,120 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 12: make us give a fuck. If they treated like some

2179
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 12: ship that they you know, drop and they go to

2180
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 12: the laundry tomorrow, then then even if we love the music,

2181
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 12: we're gonna treat it like that, you know what I'm saying.

2182
01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 12: So artists have to they gotta sell a little bit

2183
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:12,800
Speaker 12: more for it to you know, it's it's twenty twenty six.

2184
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 12: The audience is a little bit smarter than it used

2185
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 12: to be, you know, So we gotta they gotta be intentional.

2186
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 11: With with with that specifically for it to happen.

2187
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 2: Gotcha. Uh.

2188
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:27,559
Speaker 1: I love what people says I don't disagree and then

2189
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 1: spends the whole streams disagree.

2190
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 7: And when I say that, I have so many fucking

2191
01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:39,000
Speaker 7: catchphrases on that, it hip hop up. When I say that,

2192
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 7: it's typically like one or two points that I don't

2193
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 7: disagree with, but I may disagree with everything else. So

2194
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 7: that you know, I'm gonna speak my mind broke.

2195

01:41:52,120 --> 01:41:54,760
Speaker 7: to this, that's the easiest pigure it is.

2219
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 11: The story could go for me.

2220
01:41:56,479 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 7: Damn you hey, unpopular opinion. And even though I've come

2221
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 7: around on this project, I don't think Sevia Demo has

2222

01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 7: I meant it to last like that, it's supposed to

2228
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:22,240
Speaker 7: be the true time, you know what I mean.

2229
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:24,679

01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 1: one thing you're concerned or skeptical about in twenty twenty six.

2245
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 6: Optimistic about optimistic about Dochi making her run for the

2246
01:43:29,400 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 6: lady crown. Thing that has the trepidation, who gonna save stove?

01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:39,519

2249
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 4: Is it whole? Is it nas? Is it someone we need?

2250
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 6: We need Stove to really like get off this contract

2251
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:48,599
Speaker 6: and make the music we know he can make.

2252
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:48,800
Speaker 2: Bro.

2253
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say.

2254
01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 7: The one thing I'm optimistic about is I think I'm

2255
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:59,160
Speaker 7: optimistic twenty twenty six is gonna be the the best

2256
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:02,760
Speaker 7: year so far that hip hop has had. I'm optimistic

2257
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:05,479
Speaker 7: about that. The one thing I worried about, and this

2258
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 7: is just me being a super fan of this particular artist.

2259
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,439
Speaker 7: We're never gonna get a Nipsey Hustle project again.

2260
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:12,840
Speaker 2: M hm.

2261
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:21,080
Speaker 6: I see it like if it's if it's already like

2262
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:24,200
Speaker 6: in the stash, Like I respect if they want to

2263
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:27,000
Speaker 6: put it out, but those cook up possumous albums.

2264
01:44:27,040 --> 01:44:29,640
Speaker 4: Bro.

2265
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 7: Yeah No, But his brother said that they already had.

2266
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:38,679
Speaker 7: You know, Nipsey was very strategic, so Black Sam already

2267
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:40,920
Speaker 7: said like they already had stuff, and it was a

2268
01:44:40,920 --> 01:44:42,439
Speaker 7: couple of years ago. They said, oh yeah, you know

2269
01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:45,760
Speaker 7: we're gonna drop. It just hasn't dropped. But I'm cool

2270
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 7: with not getting anything, you know what I'm saying, because

2271
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,760
Speaker 7: obviously he's no longer here. But if we do, I

2272
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:54,120
Speaker 7: don't want to cook up. I want something that was

2273
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 7: already you know there. You know, if you add a

2274
01:44:57,080 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 7: feature here and there to fill out us or finished

2275
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:02,080
Speaker 7: or something that's but like it had to be with

2276
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:04,640
Speaker 7: the intent that Nipsey had. Nobody else is going to

2277
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:06,920
Speaker 7: know that attack outside of Black Sam. But you know,

2278
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:09,599
Speaker 7: as another year passes, I just I don't. I don't.

2279
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 4: I don't think we're.

2280
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:12,760
Speaker 7: Gonna see it bro and and again, I'm okay with it,

2281
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:15,840
Speaker 7: but I would love to have another Nipsey project.

2282
01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 12: I'm optimistic that we will get more than one classic

2283
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 12: this year and rap. I don't think it's I think

2284
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 12: the last few years it could be argued that we've

2285
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 12: had one you know, different artists repping for different things.

2286
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 12: And I am nervous about the effects of AI in

2287
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:35,919
Speaker 12: hip hop.

2288
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:37,719
Speaker 11: But the music industry in general.

2289
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 12: I feel like when when you look behind the scenes

2290
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 12: and you look the way u MG and Spotify and

2291
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 12: all of these big music you know entities are patent

2292
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:52,240
Speaker 12: and AI and and and you notice all of all

2293
01:45:52,280 --> 01:45:54,000
Speaker 12: the producers are now trying to get.

2294
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,639
Speaker 11: Us cup and say, hey, AI is not so bad.

2295
01:45:56,720 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 12: Guys, like the effects of it is gonna really show

2296
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:03,639
Speaker 12: rear its ugly head this year, you know what I mean,

2297
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:06,640
Speaker 12: especially when you also look at the majority of our

2298
01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:09,600
Speaker 12: favorite artists sold their entire catalogs.

2299
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:16,280
Speaker 2: It's that too. Well, go ahead, then I'll back out.

2300
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 9: Very optimistic because I like themes and connective threads throughout

2301
01:46:24,320 --> 01:46:28,080
Speaker 9: the pod. Very optimist that j Cole will snatch his

2302
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:30,920
Speaker 9: name back and you know, go up the block and

2303
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,080
Speaker 9: see de boy and do what's necessary. He might not

2304
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:36,840
Speaker 9: win the fight, but I fully anticipate and expect that

2305
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 9: he will get.

2306
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:39,840
Speaker 7: To smut off his knee.

2307
01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 9: That That's why I'm at right now with it, and

2308
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:45,200
Speaker 9: the overarching thread is just I think where we are

2309
01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:49,240
Speaker 9: towards the end of twenty twenty five as far as lyricism,

2310
01:46:49,560 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 9: the actual hip hop culture, not the mainstream here, but

2311
01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:55,440
Speaker 9: actual hip hop continuing to elevate and grabbing a stranglehold

2312
01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 9: of rap music because again there's the industry raptors.

2313
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:00,719
Speaker 7: The business of Raptor is hip hop culture.

2314
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:02,920
Speaker 9: And I think as far as as long as hip

2315
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:05,879
Speaker 9: hop culture is it control of what's.

2316
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:07,599
Speaker 7: Good and what's not good, we're in a good space.

2317
01:47:07,640 --> 01:47:09,960
Speaker 9: I think we're gonna see a continued elevation of that,

2318
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 9: and I think that's gonna help bring back good faith

2319
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:16,000
Speaker 9: negotiations with these labels because some of these artists, we

2320
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 9: can't control what they do, right, some of these artists

2321
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 9: want to get deals, But I'd rather lays get a

2322
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:22,160
Speaker 9: deal with some hip hop shit as opposed to go

2323
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:24,639
Speaker 9: on viral on Instagram or TikTok making some bullshit.

2324
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:27,000
Speaker 7: So I think that that's gonna be a good thing.

2325
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:29,960
Speaker 7: As far as trepidation goes, I don't know, don't. I

2326
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:31,280
Speaker 7: don't feel very negative. I don't.

2327
01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:33,120
Speaker 9: This is one of the rare times in rap or

2328
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 9: hip hop where I don't. I'm not really concerned about anything.

2329
01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:38,040
Speaker 9: I just think that we're in a good spot. I

2330
01:47:38,040 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 9: think the stock this is a good stock to buy

2331
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:42,439
Speaker 9: right now with hip hop, I'm not really concerned. I

2332
01:47:42,439 --> 01:47:45,800
Speaker 9: guess there's certain fan bases that might be concerned. If

2333
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:48,040
Speaker 9: you're a Drake fan, you should be concerned because what

2334
01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 9: is Iceman gonna sound like? Because at the end of

2335
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 9: the day, I think for Bid or Worse that is

2336
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 9: the most anticipated album of twenty twenty six.

2337
01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 7: Say what you want to say about aubreing upset a lot.

2338
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:58,400
Speaker 7: It is the most anticipated album of the Year. But

2339
01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:04,439
Speaker 7: basically we've heard late last year it ain't landing. It's

2340
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:05,679
Speaker 7: not landing, it's missing.

2341
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 9: So if this album doesn't land, I think this is

2342
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 9: the series finale for Drake as a rapper.

2343
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:13,800
Speaker 7: I've jokingly said, but super series. I think he needs

2344
01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 7: to go to the floor Riddle League. If this album

2345
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 7: don't do what it's supposed to do creatively, statistically, whatever,

2346
01:48:20,680 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 7: he needs to go to the floor Ridley, make the

2347
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:25,040
Speaker 7: pop records for movie scores and shit like that, and

2348
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:25,840
Speaker 7: just go over there.

2349
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:28,040
Speaker 9: He has to land with this project. I think there's

2350
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:29,920
Speaker 9: a lot of pressure on j Cole as well. Those

2351
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:32,880
Speaker 9: guys have to deliver. I look at the two thirds

2352
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:35,120
Speaker 9: of the Big Three. They positions are in question right now,

2353
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:37,160
Speaker 9: and it's guys is on an ascent that want to

2354
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:38,920
Speaker 9: move them out the way. I think that Tyler Creative

2355
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:41,599
Speaker 9: belongs in that Big Three conversation, and I think that

2356
01:48:41,880 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 9: one of these two drops this year might not deliver,

2357
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:45,800
Speaker 9: you're gonna have to bump them up in that power ranking.

2358
01:48:46,120 --> 01:48:47,200
Speaker 7: So that's how I look at it.

2359
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:50,320
Speaker 9: I think it's individual concerns with any overarching concerns. When

2360
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:52,320
Speaker 9: rap hip hop none, I think we're in a great

2361
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:53,320
Speaker 9: spot right now.

2362
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 7: Jarv, I'm gonna say this, and like you know, I'm

2363
01:48:56,360 --> 01:49:00,200
Speaker 7: not necessarily the biggest Drake fan, but I just even

2364
01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:04,479
Speaker 7: if this don't land, I think Drake's position is part

2365
01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:07,000
Speaker 7: of the Big three is like it's cemented, bro, Like,

2366
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 7: I don't think he could fall off out of the

2367
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 7: Big three.

2368
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 4: So I just don't.

2369
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:16,040
Speaker 7: Well, no, I think I think Cole is to a degree,

2370
01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 7: is cemented to I think I think of this generation

2371
01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 7: of this era, like, you know, there's people that we

2372
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:26,719
Speaker 7: can mention, like Tyler the Creator. I one million percent agree,

2373
01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:29,240
Speaker 7: especially over the last you know, two three projects that

2374
01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:35,880
Speaker 7: he's had. But but Bro, Drake, k Dot Cole, like

2375
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:40,200
Speaker 7: that is the trinity of you know, the what we

2376
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:44,040
Speaker 7: call it the.

2377
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 4: The blog era.

2378
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,720
Speaker 7: They're the trinity of the blog era, Bro, And I

2379
01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:48,719
Speaker 7: don't think nobody takes that spot.

2380
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 3: Now.

2381
01:49:49,439 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 4: If you want to say.

2382
01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:52,439
Speaker 7: That there's gonna be another trinity or something like that,

2383
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 7: or you know, for for whatever we call this era

2384
01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:59,840
Speaker 7: of music Internet, I don't know, okay, But like those

2385
01:50:00,479 --> 01:50:02,760
Speaker 7: are the goats of that era, Bro, I don't think.

2386
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:07,120
Speaker 7: I don't think nobody could be replaced. I feel like

2387
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,680
Speaker 7: it's been too much smut since twenty twenty four for

2388
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:11,760
Speaker 7: us to ignore that conversation.

2389
01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 6: When Thief said that, I looked at me like this

2390
01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:17,720
Speaker 6: nigga talking what.

2391
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:20,920
Speaker 2: It is?

2392
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:25,479
Speaker 7: You know, you gotta embassy.

2393
01:50:26,160 --> 01:50:27,040
Speaker 2: I think what's going on.

2394
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:29,160
Speaker 4: This is not Obo Fifo though.

2395
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:32,920
Speaker 7: I'm just I'm just speaking facts in the sense that

2396
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:35,799
Speaker 7: you know, Drake is just he's one of those guys.

2397
01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 3: Bro.

2398
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:36,720
Speaker 4: And here's the thing.

2399
01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:39,880
Speaker 7: Even if I don't think that, I I think I

2400
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:43,439
Speaker 7: hope ice Man is good, right, even if it's not good.

2401
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:47,120
Speaker 7: Just looking at the history of Drake, you're gonna have

2402
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:50,240
Speaker 7: two to three smash joints that you're not gonna be

2403
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:52,600
Speaker 7: able to run from. That is gonna be dominant on

2404
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 7: the radio that people are gonna fuck with, right, Like

2405
01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 7: even the last project, we ain't really fuck with No

2406
01:50:57,240 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 7: Kill like that. But Ship No Kill was small for Drake,

2407
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:05,200
Speaker 7: but big for any other rap artists, you know what

2408
01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:07,800
Speaker 7: I'm saying. So he's always gonna have a handful of those,

2409
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:10,559
Speaker 7: and because of that, you can't take his position.

2410
01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:14,320
Speaker 9: But that Simmy ain't stimmy with twenty one though, So

2411
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 9: it's questions that need answers.

2412
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 4: On his next project, Black Talk, he think he got ten.

2413
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:23,600
Speaker 6: He's the first rapper with ten number one albums and

2414
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:25,599
Speaker 6: the Billboard Top one hundred or something like that. Like

2415
01:51:25,640 --> 01:51:28,120
Speaker 6: that's that's crazy. You know, that's a crazy accomplishment, even

2416
01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:30,720
Speaker 6: with the whole you know, he's falling.

2417
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:32,759
Speaker 7: From the highest point on the planet, but he's still falling.

2418
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:38,639
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, it's just drap right what you got right?

2419
01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:43,200
Speaker 5: I mean, he like just said it's I don't know what's

2420
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:46,320
Speaker 5: equal talking about, but like yeah, because I mean he

2421
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:48,200
Speaker 5: smith snitched on hip hop.

2422
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:54,840
Speaker 7: And we're still talking about it and we're still talking

2423
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:55,240
Speaker 7: about it.

2424
01:51:57,439 --> 01:52:00,479
Speaker 5: No, No, he doesn't have that momental even in and stuff,

2425
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:02,360
Speaker 5: all that stuff would have been still smack right now,

2426
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:04,160
Speaker 5: and it's just not all that stuff is like coming

2427
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:07,599
Speaker 5: going like that's not that. Yeah, Drake, No, he's still

2428
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:10,639
Speaker 5: you don't even look alive right now. Like I don't

2429
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:11,320
Speaker 5: know who's like.

2430
01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:14,120
Speaker 2: His song is going.

2431
01:52:14,240 --> 01:52:15,240
Speaker 3: Like like, all I'm.

2432
01:52:15,120 --> 01:52:17,880
Speaker 7: Saying is if he goes from number one, his fall

2433
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 7: off is three. That's all I'm saying.

2434
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:24,200
Speaker 4: I mean, he's only.

2435
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,839
Speaker 5: Gonna gonna chart because people are interested. They're just interested

2436
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:28,960
Speaker 5: to see what he's gonna do. It's not because oh man,

2437
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 5: I love Drake and I love this music. It's just

2438
01:52:30,960 --> 01:52:33,479
Speaker 5: gonna be just interested to see what he does. But

2439
01:52:33,479 --> 01:52:35,240
Speaker 5: I don't want to have a Drake conversation right now.

2440
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:40,439
Speaker 5: I'm but like I'm Mason, like like it's interesting with

2441
01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:41,479
Speaker 5: the not interesting.

2442
01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:43,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just scary what the AI is doing

2443
01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:46,200
Speaker 3: right now. Like and I think, you know.

2444
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:48,760
Speaker 5: Big labels, big people that are in place, are gonna

2445
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:51,200
Speaker 5: kind of try to push that. So I do like

2446
01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:55,320
Speaker 5: the fact when we talk about optimism that the artists

2447
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:58,280
Speaker 5: are kind of taking their own and making their own

2448
01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:01,080
Speaker 5: and not worrying about the charts and all that and

2449
01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:03,360
Speaker 5: just you know, worried about just cultivating their music and

2450
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:04,960
Speaker 5: making what they want to make. I think that's gonna

2451
01:53:04,960 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 5: be important going into this new year with all the

2452
01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:10,200
Speaker 5: AI and not just the music just everywhere. I'm seeing

2453
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:12,960
Speaker 5: it everywhere. So yeah, I mean, they is it's a

2454
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:17,479
Speaker 5: heavy push right now, so that is a concern of mine.

2455
01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think, you know, art will prevail.

2456
01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:25,400
Speaker 5: Artists will prevail in every capacity, So we just got

2457
01:53:25,400 --> 01:53:26,800
Speaker 5: to you know, stand strong.

2458
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 1: Acts got it and uh And what I'll say as

2459
01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 1: we uh in the show, I'm sort of optimistic man

2460
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:42,679
Speaker 1: that you know, we may get another uh massive peel

2461
01:53:42,760 --> 01:53:43,799
Speaker 1: Legit have a series.

2462
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:44,680
