Speaker 1: The lead single bird from the Midnight Falcons. You got
Speaker 1: his curls today. Man, your ship is laid. Bro. Shout
Speaker 1: out to Hugh for every man plug. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: What's Burning. I'm coming to you remotely from San Francisco, California,
Speaker 1: on the road working right now. Jack. I know y'all
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. What's going on? Bro? Man, I'm cooling, man, ready,
Speaker 1: ready to start off to a great week. But before
Speaker 1: we start this show, I have to say, Bro, if
Speaker 1: you've seen five hot beats, Bird, the lead single bird
Speaker 1: from the Midnight Falcons, you got his curls today. Man,
Speaker 1: your ship is laid. Bro. I don't know what kind
Speaker 1: of what you did this morning, but the motherfucker's is
Speaker 1: sitting right man. Shout out to Hugh for every man plug. Well,
Speaker 1: let's get to it man. Out east, the Milwaukee Bucks
Speaker 1: look like they're on a mission without Chris Middleton right now.
Speaker 1: They're off to a six and old start. Janice is
Speaker 1: everything and advertised and more. What are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: this team? Obviously not jumping to conclusions because it's still
Speaker 1: very early in the season, but they look like they're
Speaker 1: on the mission this year. Yeah, man, I'm I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm happy. I'm happy to see the approach Jonnis has
Speaker 1: to this season. Man, you know I said things about him,
Speaker 1: I doubted him, and a lot of people did. But
Speaker 1: right now, you know what I'm saying, I'm can boldly
Speaker 1: say he is one of the best players and is
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the league and one
Speaker 1: of the best players we've ever seen. Um, all the
Speaker 1: stars in the NBA right now, none of them has
Speaker 1: took a taken the approach to the way he's taking
Speaker 1: this season to be six and oh, to be dominant
Speaker 1: as he's been already. I can see him win an
Speaker 1: m VP Defensive Player year and the Championship this year
Speaker 1: with the with the focus that he's showing right now,
Speaker 1: and um, nobody can say nothing bad about him, honest
Speaker 1: has proven everybody wrong. He's proving me wrong. And I'll
Speaker 1: be the first to said the league is don't notice
Speaker 1: right now because the way he's starting it should it
Speaker 1: should be frightening everybody. Yeah, I was someone, you know,
Speaker 1: amongst the masters who kind of doubted him early on,
Speaker 1: But he's one of those guys that instead of pouting
Speaker 1: with criticism or hiden criticism, he takes that criticism as
Speaker 1: fuel and comes back better, stronger, uh and more defined
Speaker 1: game every single year. He comes back with a new
Speaker 1: aspect to his game every single year. Um, so I
Speaker 1: completely agree with you. Someone that could sweep the awards
Speaker 1: season and also, you know, bring on the ultimate award,
Speaker 1: which is a championship. So you know, this team is
Speaker 1: definitely scary. It's still early, still a lot of basketball,
Speaker 1: but like you said, it's a mindset that there he's
Speaker 1: playing with that their team follows with. Um, they'll need
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton to get over the hump. But yeah, Janice
Speaker 1: Is is on some other ship right now, staying out
Speaker 1: east with another team who is minus a star. But
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a five and one
Speaker 1: start with without Darius Garland. Donovan Mitchell has found a
Speaker 1: new home, a new energy, and he's playing on a
Speaker 1: whole a nother level. He made a spin, moved the
Speaker 1: other day and dunked on someone. I said, holy shit, Jack,
Speaker 1: can Mitchell be the best player on a championship caliber
Speaker 1: team in your opinion? Yes? And he and he also
Speaker 1: can be m v P because the way he's playing
Speaker 1: right now, I think Cleveland can finish top three in
Speaker 1: the East this year, and uh, if he has a
Speaker 1: big year, you know, scoring wise, and they have and
Speaker 1: they have a good record with Regardling coming back, this
Speaker 1: team could really make some noise and I think that
Speaker 1: would be a good look for Donovan Midship. This team
Speaker 1: could be at the top of the East at the
Speaker 1: end of the season with the way he's playing right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we were there was a ceiling, you know.
Speaker 1: You and I never really believed in Utah because then
Speaker 1: he never really had a real sidekick as far as
Speaker 1: the scoring punch goes. With all due respect to Jordan
Speaker 1: Clarkson who was coming off the bench at the time. Um,
Speaker 1: but allviously, with this young Cleveland team, they got a
Speaker 1: lot of pieces and you know, Darius Garland will turn Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, they got Mobili, they got Allen, They got
Speaker 1: a lot of good piece, solid pieces over there. They
Speaker 1: created a new identity and they played hard with which
Speaker 1: I love to see. So again, very early in the season,
Speaker 1: but very impressive so far for this young Cleveland team
Speaker 1: led by Donovan Mitchell. Heading out west, the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Lakers were able to get their first win UM on
Speaker 1: Sunday versus the Nuggets. Westbrook came off the bench but
Speaker 1: was very, very impressive. I got a chance to tart
Speaker 1: to Darvin Ham after that. Uh, you know, I was
Speaker 1: congratulating him on his first win. And he has a
Speaker 1: strong feeling that Russell Westbrook can be the sixth man
Speaker 1: of the Year, and I never really considered that, but
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not mad at that. He has the talent still,
Speaker 1: he has the skills still, he has the hunger still,
Speaker 1: and if he can really buy into that six man roll,
Speaker 1: it could be very beneficial for this team. But what
Speaker 1: I liked was they were runted a lot of picking
Speaker 1: rolls of Russe and Braun and Braun being the roller
Speaker 1: and duncan and finishing and distributing because I've always said
Speaker 1: Braun is so talented you could put him anywhere on
Speaker 1: the court and he's gonna be effective. So I think
Speaker 1: it's obviously gonna take some time. A d needs to
Speaker 1: get healthy, healthy, because he still looks like looks like
Speaker 1: he's you know, running like an old man out there.
Speaker 1: But hopefully with him continuing to be healthy and Russ
Speaker 1: buying into that role, you know this team can get
Speaker 1: out of hot streak. What are your thoughts on the
Speaker 1: Lakers and Russ coming off the bench, and if they
Speaker 1: can figure it out, you know, what is the ceiling
Speaker 1: for them? What an accolade to add to already Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame career, six Man of the Year for Russ
Speaker 1: and everything that people were saying about about him, What
Speaker 1: does that say about you? Now? It was all false
Speaker 1: for a guy like Russ to be the player he
Speaker 1: is with the Triple Doves and the career has had,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They don't talk about lgen
Speaker 1: Beta like that, and he's had the same career, if
Speaker 1: not better, you know far as as far as stat wise. Um,
Speaker 1: so give Russ his respect. Ain't too many players that
Speaker 1: that that that hold those records, uh that that Russ
Speaker 1: has can can take a step back rather and come
Speaker 1: off the bench and still be productive as he was
Speaker 1: as a starter. So take your hat off to Russ
Speaker 1: and everybody that was talking about him. I know you
Speaker 1: feel stupid now because you know what I'm saying, Russ
Speaker 1: Russe has always been a team guy and the guy
Speaker 1: just want to play basketball. We all knew that, and
Speaker 1: and and and and to see him having success coming
Speaker 1: off the bench and still being the guy is and
Speaker 1: to have a coach like Donovan, I mean, dar Darwin
Speaker 1: Skull Dharmah Hamm talking about him saying he can be
Speaker 1: a six man of a year. I think it's it's
Speaker 1: all saying a lot about Russ's character that a lot
Speaker 1: of people didn't know. With all that said, there's still
Speaker 1: stirs and I think Miles Turner was on Vogious podcast
Speaker 1: this past week talking about the Lakers could really should
Speaker 1: really consider their situation and what they're looking for and
Speaker 1: what they want. Jack, if you were in management over there,
Speaker 1: would you give up Russell Westbrook for Miles Turner, Buddy
Speaker 1: Healed and their first round picks in seven and twenty nine?
Speaker 1: Or remember what Rachel told us last week that if
Speaker 1: they just ride this season out, Russell come off the
Speaker 1: books and they'll have a max space and it can
Speaker 1: be a completely new team. So my question with that is,
Speaker 1: at this point and Lebron's career, do you give it
Speaker 1: a whole season or you proactive and we're all in
Speaker 1: for Braun? Why we still have him? What would be
Speaker 1: your approach if you were in management. I'm keeping Russ,
Speaker 1: Ain't no question about it. I'm keeping Russ because Russ
Speaker 1: is not the question. A D is the question. Russ
Speaker 1: gonna come with the effort. He's gonna play hard every night.
Speaker 1: He's gonna give you whatever he got, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And that's one thing you don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about him, is is this effort. You've got other
Speaker 1: pieces of putting the play now. But the question is
Speaker 1: a D. Is he gonna be there the whole season?
Speaker 1: How fit, how healthy he gonna be? And what kind
Speaker 1: of eighties that that that's gonna show up every night
Speaker 1: for this team? Is gonna be the thirty point fifteen
Speaker 1: rebound a D Or is it gonna be the twenty
Speaker 1: points five rebound a D? You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: that's what matters. I never thought Russ was the problem,
Speaker 1: the guy that that that everybody is praising and saying that, Uh,
Speaker 1: he's closer to him. Duncan like I gotta said before,
Speaker 1: the A D can do this, he can do that.
Speaker 1: Well he has to do it and uh and then
Speaker 1: then that's why everybody's been blaming Russ, because they've been
Speaker 1: trying to shy away from blaming a D. M. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Russ is definitely a scapegoat. He was escapeboard last year
Speaker 1: long with the coach, but I love that he's buying
Speaker 1: in again and hopefully this works out well. Heading down
Speaker 1: the hall way to the Los Angeles Clippers, uh a
Speaker 1: lot of odds on favorite to come out of the
Speaker 1: West have been off to a slow start. PG had
Speaker 1: a big bucket down the stretch against Houston Monday night
Speaker 1: to clinch that game three and four. As they currently stand,
Speaker 1: Kauai has missed four straight games, Jack, Is this something
Speaker 1: we should be concerned about? You know, Kauai as someone
Speaker 1: who's missed a lot of time over the last few years.
Speaker 1: Obviously win healthy, one of the best players in the world.
Speaker 1: But health is that keyword again we just talked about
Speaker 1: with a D. Health is in an availability is key? Um.
Speaker 1: Do you think they're just monitoring their minutes or is
Speaker 1: there possible you know more that you know we're not
Speaker 1: hearing as a now of why Kauai hasn't really been
Speaker 1: playing as much as we thought he would be playing
Speaker 1: up to this point. I hope that's the case, that
Speaker 1: just monitor his minutes. I mean, I think they bragged
Speaker 1: on how how how strong he was and how how
Speaker 1: how how built he looked coming into the season. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I wonder I wanted if that's
Speaker 1: taking a toll and he came in a little bit
Speaker 1: too heavy and they don't want to you know, starting
Speaker 1: start him off from too many minutes and playing too
Speaker 1: much and risk and re injuring something. So that could
Speaker 1: be it. But me knowing Kauai from the times I
Speaker 1: played with him, I know here dog, he wants to
Speaker 1: play if he's not on the court. Um, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure it's something that they're worried about. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I agree. Um, you know, Kuai has been on
Speaker 1: limited minutes the game he has to the games he
Speaker 1: has played. Um, so let's just hope that it's monitoring
Speaker 1: and it's not any kind of aggravation or flare up,
Speaker 1: which is quite possible, you know when you missed that
Speaker 1: much time. So you know, hoping for the best out there,
Speaker 1: because although it's still early, um, without him as a
Speaker 1: as a major, major key piece that uh you know,
Speaker 1: we we we'll kind of deter them from their ultimate
Speaker 1: goal breaking news just in hot off the burner, Steve
Speaker 1: Nash has been fi year as the Brooklyn Nets coach.
Speaker 1: Jack Von will be be acting head coach um for
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. Stack first thoughts. I've been saying he
Speaker 1: wasn't a coach rolling footage back, go get a dealing,
Speaker 1: let's post it all on social media. I've been saying it.
Speaker 1: I've been sayingyone in the coach, Bro, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not surprised I didn't. I didn't know how soon it wanted.
Speaker 1: His home bother was gonna do it. Sean Walks is
Speaker 1: gonna do it. But I've been said that, Bro, he's
Speaker 1: not the guy for for those dominant, dominant personalities over there.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, they need somebody that can
Speaker 1: relate to more. And I'm not just I'm not just
Speaker 1: saying a black coach. I'm saying somebody that can relate
Speaker 1: to more. And if that's a black coach and so big.
Speaker 1: But he wasn't the coach for those guys. Stevens a
Speaker 1: laid back, cool guy. Steve go to work, do his job.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He ain't looking for too
Speaker 1: much competition, he ain't trying to be in the media.
Speaker 1: And that's totally what what what you're gonna get being
Speaker 1: a coach in Brooklyn, Right, So, you know, Steve is
Speaker 1: my guy, but I knew from day one that I
Speaker 1: want him to succeed because you know, everybody know I'm
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for the nets. But I knew he wasn't
Speaker 1: a coach from day one. Yeah, I mean I think
Speaker 1: it was. It was written on the wall from the beginning.
Speaker 1: You know, when Kyrie said, you know, do we really
Speaker 1: need a coach? Or I want to paraphrase what he said,
Speaker 1: but it was something to that tune, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: a disrespectful shot at Steve, but he was just saying, like, Yo,
Speaker 1: our team is so talented, we don't really need a coach.
Speaker 1: But we all know that whoever is the coach of
Speaker 1: a team needs to have that locker room respect, and
Speaker 1: I think naturally by nature, not that they disrespect to Steve,
Speaker 1: but Steve, like, for everything you said, he's just such
Speaker 1: a mild manner dude that I just think that locker room,
Speaker 1: with all the ship outside of basketball that has been
Speaker 1: going on, I just think it was just too much
Speaker 1: for him to kind of bite down on pause because
Speaker 1: they needed a really like an authoritive figure in that
Speaker 1: locker room that those kind of be like, Yo, this
Speaker 1: is what the fun is going on, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, And I don't think that he's that type
Speaker 1: of guy. So it'll be interesting moving forward to us
Speaker 1: see how Brooklyn responds to this situation. You know, Katie
Speaker 1: spoke on it this this past offseason, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. He's just you know, I feel like they
Speaker 1: needed to move on from the situation, so out the
Speaker 1: gates with a tough start. Um, Nash is gone, So
Speaker 1: you know, best to luck to those guys out there,
Speaker 1: best to luck to Steve to be able to land
Speaker 1: on his feet. Still a very bright mind. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he's going to get another opportunity, but I agree with
Speaker 1: you Jack, he wasn't necessarily a right fit for that team.
Speaker 1: Next up, Money Talks, presented to you by one of
Speaker 1: our favorite sponsors, money Line. The league is proposing a
Speaker 1: new system that would replace the luxury tax with a
Speaker 1: hard limit that would limit teams to not exceed the
Speaker 1: paid salaries. So I guess there'd be a cap on
Speaker 1: it so teams can't go in the luxury tax um. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the players Association wouldn't be for this, um the owners
Speaker 1: would be for this, but this would really handcuff a
Speaker 1: lot of teams that are just like hey, particularly Golden State,
Speaker 1: that are all the way in the luxury text. I
Speaker 1: want to say four d plus million um as we
Speaker 1: stand down if they resign Draymond and can get to
Speaker 1: half a billion uh in the luxury tax. You know,
Speaker 1: similar to what you see in baseball with teams going
Speaker 1: out there and able to kind of by their way
Speaker 1: to the championship, but you still have to win it.
Speaker 1: But Jack, what are your thoughts on them putting a
Speaker 1: hard cap um on it? Obviously a bad move for players,
Speaker 1: but would probably bring more parity to the game because
Speaker 1: you know, you can't just go out there and pay
Speaker 1: all your players what you should be able to do.
Speaker 1: But they're trying to stop that. So what are your
Speaker 1: thoughts on this potential move by the NBA? Ha ha
Speaker 1: ha ha ha ha ha. You owners, mad, y'all? Man,
Speaker 1: y'all y'are mad? Gold State running up the championships on y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all trying to break that ship up. They only complain
Speaker 1: about paying that extra bread, So why y'all worried about it?
Speaker 1: Find a way to get your team in that position
Speaker 1: where you win in and making money where you can go, go, go,
Speaker 1: gets the taxi and have to pay all that money
Speaker 1: over the tax and still win and still make money.
Speaker 1: Obviously he knows what he's doing. Obviously he knows what
Speaker 1: he's doing. So man, somebody was dry hayden bro one
Speaker 1: of the owners started dry hayting, and he found another
Speaker 1: owner who was mad, and they started dry hating together,
Speaker 1: and that's how all this ship came apart. Y'all just mad,
Speaker 1: go to stay running up on your all, right, So
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait to see. Uh, you know, if
Speaker 1: this actually comes into place. Um, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: agree with it. Obviously, I'm pro players getting their money
Speaker 1: and like like you said, stack it. If you can
Speaker 1: go in the luxury tax and not sweat it, go
Speaker 1: on the luxury tax and not sweat it. So it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how this plays out because I
Speaker 1: know if they put this hard cap on, this could
Speaker 1: possibly push the NBA into another lockout because you know,
Speaker 1: the n v p A is not gonna go for that.
Speaker 1: So keep in mind, for the first time in the
Speaker 1: history of the game, the NBA top ten billion in revenue,
Speaker 1: which they haven't seen before. Um, you know, with something
Speaker 1: like this, with this again, even the playing field for
Speaker 1: smaller market teams. Um, though you don't see really too
Speaker 1: many small market teams. I guess Milwaukee is considered a
Speaker 1: small market team. Right. Let me take that back with
Speaker 1: this limit the field jack in your opinion for for
Speaker 1: for small market teams, or you just like the idea
Speaker 1: you you don't pay to play, pay to win, get
Speaker 1: your hustle up playing and simple. That's simple. Well, that
Speaker 1: was money Talks presented to you by money Line on
Speaker 1: the Radar, presented to you by Draft Kings. Let's take
Speaker 1: it to look at the current odds on favor to
Speaker 1: be thee NBA Rookie of the Year. Let's start with
Speaker 1: Polo Banchero at a minus three hundred, someone who I
Speaker 1: really like used to give the Bruins nightmares over you
Speaker 1: of a being mathin a dog at plus four fifty.
Speaker 1: That Sacramento king Boy, that light skinning shooter over there
Speaker 1: at a plus twelve hundred, Keegan Murray, Jay Navy and
Speaker 1: the plus Keeck Murray on the plus twelve hundred Jay
Speaker 1: Navy is a plus eighteen hundred, followed by just Mary
Speaker 1: Jabari Smith and Shading Sharp, who I really like over
Speaker 1: in Portland. Stack thoughts on rookies this year, Polo's averaging
Speaker 1: twenty three, eight and four. I'm going with a Polo.
Speaker 1: I mean, not only because of what he's averaging now,
Speaker 1: is he's gonna get the best shot to do what
Speaker 1: he needs to do, you know what I mean. He's
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball, he's gonna get the minutes, and
Speaker 1: if he stays healthy, he's he's he's a shooting for
Speaker 1: this award. The kids came in, UM average average and
Speaker 1: a dub already. Uh, he's getting the points he's averaged
Speaker 1: in his first four or five games, I think is
Speaker 1: almost equivalent to a Lebron or even uh might be better.
Speaker 1: And um, just the confidence he's showing right off the
Speaker 1: bat says a lot about the kid like that. So
Speaker 1: if he continues to be dominated, continues to have the
Speaker 1: role he's had he has already on his team as
Speaker 1: being the leader, and stay healthy, this is a ward,
Speaker 1: no doubt I did. I always like to point out
Speaker 1: when we talk about him that I was the one
Speaker 1: that said he is the number one pick. Although they
Speaker 1: were back and forth with a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: obviously check you know went down in the summer with
Speaker 1: the ankle in juice we haven't got to see his real,
Speaker 1: real rookie campaign. But you know, I've been here about
Speaker 1: Polo for a long time from Jamal Crawford and and
Speaker 1: my homeboy Spencer has out in Seattle, like there's this
Speaker 1: boy coming that's nice, and then you got a chance
Speaker 1: to see him in the Iverson game and just how
Speaker 1: big he is and his guards skill set for the
Speaker 1: frame he has, we haven't seen anything like that. But
Speaker 1: one of the person I like to talk about through
Speaker 1: before we get out of this Polo is uh Ben Mathroom,
Speaker 1: that boy over in Indiana. He is a dog, He's
Speaker 1: a problem. He's at one five and three, um, so
Speaker 1: when I feel like you could build a team around
Speaker 1: his energy, his athleticism, his overall skill set is very
Speaker 1: press though, so I like he's kind of been the
Speaker 1: dark horse sneaking up the charts. Although it's still early
Speaker 1: in the season. There's a lot of game closing thoughts.
Speaker 1: Shout out to our brother Kevin Durant for passing one
Speaker 1: of his idols, Vince Carter to be the nineteenth all
Speaker 1: time leading score. The next up on his list as
Speaker 1: a friend of the program, the great Kevin Garnett, who
Speaker 1: was at twenty six thousand, seventy one points. Jack, where
Speaker 1: do you think k D when it's all said and done,
Speaker 1: knock on wood, boring health will finish on the scoring list.
Speaker 1: It's really hard to tell right now, man, because Katie
Speaker 1: so efficient. Man, he could end up anywhere on the list.
Speaker 1: You know what, the man he saw efficient if he
Speaker 1: stays healthy, if he continue to have the right guys
Speaker 1: around him to to take some of the load off
Speaker 1: on him and still average thirty like he'd been doing
Speaker 1: for another four or five years. Hey, man, he could
Speaker 1: end up anywhere on the list. I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I don't want to him a spot now because you know,
Speaker 1: like like we always talked about nobody's more efficient scoring
Speaker 1: a k D and then we've never seen the guy
Speaker 1: that's ill to be able to score like he does.
Speaker 1: So if health it's not a problem right people around
Speaker 1: the right situation, he could be at the top. I agree, definitely.
Speaker 1: I think he'll crack that top five he's able to
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Um. Again, one of the most efficient scores
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. Um and again, man, congrats broke beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: Although he's not too into individual um you know, accolades. Uh,
Speaker 1: This is a huge step for him, man, so make
Speaker 1: sure you celebrate that. Congrats to our brother. Last but
Speaker 1: not least, unfortunately, we lost another very talented brother last
Speaker 1: last night. Rest in peace to take Off from the
Speaker 1: me Goes who was killed in Houston. Um. You know
Speaker 1: details are still swrowing around, but where it is. You know,
Speaker 1: a dice game was going on, and you know he
Speaker 1: was being his normal self often cut chilling, Uh ends
Speaker 1: up getting shot and lost his life. So I want
Speaker 1: to send our prayers and condolences out to his family,
Speaker 1: his friends, his fans, um, everyone Jack state of hip hop. Man,
Speaker 1: It's it's unfortunate, man, we continue to do this to ourselves. Uh.
Speaker 1: So many great falling, talenting your brothers these days. And
Speaker 1: someone who obviously crossed over and was able to you know,
Speaker 1: be in the rap game, and and you've been around
Speaker 1: it your whole life. What are your thoughts on just
Speaker 1: the state of what the fund is going on right
Speaker 1: now in our communities. I mean it sucks. It sucks
Speaker 1: first our rest in peace to take Off and end
Speaker 1: your family, man, I'm sending love and condolences. Take Off
Speaker 1: is one of the realists, always stayed out the way. Uh.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be seen. All I wanted to
Speaker 1: do was make music and talk about shoes, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, talk about the NBA stories. But he
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be missed. But I hate hip hop right now, Matt,
Speaker 1: because hip hop has no morals, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: The days when we were hearing self destruction, you headed
Speaker 1: for self destruction. You ain't got no rappers coming out
Speaker 1: even thinking to attempt to make a rhyme like that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And and and it's disheartening
Speaker 1: because they have such a large impact on our children
Speaker 1: and and the and the and and the and the
Speaker 1: culture coming up, you know what I mean. So the
Speaker 1: things they say, Madam Man, and they're so comfortable with
Speaker 1: this and the dead and talk about the dead, and
Speaker 1: all they talk about is ops and shooting each other.
Speaker 1: And you know, I you gotta be intelligent enough to
Speaker 1: know that these people not living, these Lyris. You've gotta
Speaker 1: be intelligent enough to listen to the music and George,
Speaker 1: but now not apply to your everyday life, you know.
Speaker 1: And I know people you know gotta I gotta make
Speaker 1: a living for themselves. But you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: to what to one of the points that I did
Speaker 1: agree with with Kanye. You know what I'm saying, If
Speaker 1: you know these kids gonna be doing this, why keep
Speaker 1: putting money in their hands? You what I'm saying, Why
Speaker 1: why keep putting them in his position to fail? Because
