He's picked the other targets recently, 53 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: which I appreciate. He's thinking of taking a weight off me. 54 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, by the scenes, we've had 55 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: some pleasant exchanges with getting back to a better place. 56 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: So I just want to purchase that. By my opinion, 57 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: it's not based on this. I'm giving my objective opinion. 58 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 2: I like this album, and I don't know why everybody 59 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: hates it as much as they do. I'm anxious to 60 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: hear what you have to say about it, but I 61 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: like the album. I think it's obviously has its fault. 62 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: It's another very long Drake album that it's like, you know, 63 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: it's so funny. I saw this one kid on Complex 64 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: was saying, like, it's twenty three songs, but it feels 65 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: like forty, and I understand what he meant, because you know, 66 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: now we do a lot of beat switches on songs 67 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: and different arrangements and stuff, and then in touludes, so 68 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: it is a very long listen, but I think that 69 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: at its core, what I like about it is that 70 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: I think Drake got back into the R and B bag, 71 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: and you know, songs like due Picasso and Fear of 72 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: Heights and those kind of records Bahama, Bahama's pomp promises. 73 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: I can't say Obama's promises and try our best like 74 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: I like those joints. I felt like he hadn't tapped 75 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: into that R and B lane and delivery content to 76 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: that level in a while. But I could understand people 77 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: being like the signing up bars on there, right, I 78 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 2: know you like when he spits pause, But uh, yeah, 79 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm just not hating the album as much 80 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: as everybody is. I was really surprised by how much 81 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: the internet has become a thing to really like be 82 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: against this album. I think he has like the lowest 83 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: Metacritics score of the year. So the floor jews beat out, 84 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: tell me, am I bugging I like this album, and 85 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: my bugging beat that I like this album. 86 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm at the core raid on you, Elliott, 87 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: because I think you're bugging. 88 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: Man a lot too. Too. Be that, Yeah too be that. 89 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like it, you know, Like I said 90 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: on Twitter, it's all Kevin Durant's fault. He's the reason 91 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: behind all this calamity. 92 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: Oh my god, South of the Boardroom man, Sutage, climb 93 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: Its KD four putting like KT's jacket. He put out 94 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: Kat's jacket. 95 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: Taking it off, man taking it off. But you know 96 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: he's the A and off but you know, off back. 97 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: I think it, like you said, it was too long. 98 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: I think twenty three tracks is kind of like a 99 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: daunting listen in today's world to me, After like thirteen songs, 100 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: it starts to feel like homework a little bit. And 101 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: then also, you know, Drake usually sets the tone with 102 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: his intros. Yeah, and I think those are often like 103 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: the hallmarks of his albums, so like there's no over 104 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: my dead Body, there's no tusk in leather survival legend, 105 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: even Champagne poetry this time around. So that kind of 106 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: like was a little bit dismaying. 107 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 2: He saw Viga beat you, we saw Viginia Beach. He 108 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: stud its gonna bar him up, bar push it up 109 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: by everybody up. 110 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: And I just thought it was gonna be one of 111 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: those you know, signature you know, openings, and it just 112 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: wasn't that sonically to me. None of the beats really 113 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: grabbed me by the collar. I liked eight Am and Charlotte, 114 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: produced by the conductor Rock Baby Rich Baby daddy. You know, 115 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: it has that Atlanta Miami bass feel, which is kind 116 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: of popular right now. Uh first person Shooter with J Cole. 117 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: I think it was a great standout, great beat boy 118 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: Wonder was on a production with that, So that's really 119 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: about it. And then also like lyrically, I feel like 120 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: some of the similes and metaphors mister Mark don't feel 121 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: as clever and as quibble as in the past. I 122 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: mean at the side of uh being a nitpicker, Like 123 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: he has lines like I know you a cap, but 124 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: you can you pussy do the dog? I stayed with 125 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: the old like a baygel. I'm thinking about more cake 126 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: than a funnel. Like there's a lot of lines. I'm 127 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: just like, come on, Drake, you can do better than this. 128 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: I saw them get on with the check of checkers, 129 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: a little lockey in line or something like that, so 130 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: it was like. 131 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: He said, it got you out here moving and wastes 132 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: like a belt, Like I think Drake's a little bit 133 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: better than that. But you know, just at the end 134 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: of the day, the expectations of a global superstar like 135 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: really high, and with him it's tenfold, and you know 136 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: he's already in Cooperstown he has his gold jacket, but 137 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: I feel like the frustration lies in the fact that 138 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: he's capable of delivering wrap at the highest level, and 139 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: we're disappointed when the output doesn't reflect those abilities. 140 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: I mean, what's your take on how they feel like 141 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 2: with the content wise, Drake's like catering too much to 142 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 2: a the demo, right, Like he's cool with YACHTI. Now, like, 143 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: do you think that he's catering too much to the 144 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: other of the crowd to try to stay you know, 145 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: at the at the forefront of the culture. 146 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: I disagree. I think it's a misconception. Like Yachty is 147 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: a grown man, Like he's not some high school teenager, 148 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, running around like he's in the dope, and 149 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like Drake is his 150 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: own orbit. You know, if this guy sneeze without covering 151 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: his mouth, it's making headlines. Everyone's gonna be interested. So 152 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: it's like, I don't I think that's just a misconception. 153 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: I don't think Drake has to be that meillable and 154 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: and necessarily collaborate with a Yeat or a YACHTI or 155 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: sexy Red to you know, stay relevant or to keep 156 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: a sound because Drake came into the game creating a sound, 157 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, on the back of like eight o waits 158 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: and heartbreaks. So I don't think that I think I 159 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: think that's just a misconception. 160 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: Well I do. 161 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: I do think that production was, Like you said, it 162 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: may be the sound for you, but a lot of 163 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 2: that sounds like a lot of the current like Banks, 164 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 2: kind of like this's produced big of them as Banks, 165 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: like a Kyle of that kind of like it's not 166 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: really drill, but like a different kind of sound. I 167 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 2: feel like he did a good job of tins of 168 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: morphine that with fort these touches on it, like the 169 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: filtering that they do in their sonics and their music. 170 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: So I feel like to somewhat, yeah, I think the 171 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: difference between this guys that he still wants to be 172 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: on top of the rack game. I mean there's a 173 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: difference of it, Like if he really did pleased to 174 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: hip hop crowd and say, you know what, I'm just 175 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: gonna bar it up and I'm gonna give you time 176 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: Stamp type records and give you twelve songs of that, Like, 177 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if that record does four and fifty 178 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: thousand first week, I think that record might do two 179 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: hundred thousand first week, but I don't think it's gonna 180 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: be like he's still number one. I think this gets 181 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: important for this guy still to like he told us 182 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 2: in a rapperator I interview many years back, to show 183 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: his versatility, that he could he could please all these 184 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: different audiences, and he wants to maintain that number one positions. 185 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: So when I see all this stuff about you should 186 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: mature and change his content or he you know, I 187 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: think he's very calculated. I think he's also very stubborn. 188 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: So the more people are telling you you should do that, 189 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: he's telling his truth, which is he's still talking about 190 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: dealing with females and he ups and downs of that, 191 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: and you know, he's telling his truth. I think from artists, 192 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 2: all I want you to do is tell me your truth. 193 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 2: And if that's how he's really living, you know, I'm 194 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: not mad at that. 195 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a lot of people that are having 196 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: those criticisms don't really listen to the music because Drake 197 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: gives that. You know, he's been giving that throughout his career. 198 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: I mean I could cite a song like March fourteenth, 199 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: when he's talking about fatherhood with his son or his 200 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: relationship with his mother on Sandra's Rose or growing up 201 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: in Toronto, you in the six like he has those 202 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: moments literally throughout you know, his entire catalog. But I 203 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: don't think Drake has to you know, necessarily, like I said, 204 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: bend to whatever. It is a primined sound right now, 205 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: because let's be honest, Like the record everyone's talking about 206 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: is first Person Shoot with him and j Cole, Those 207 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: Cold those are the those that's the record that you know, 208 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: everyone is barring each other up. So I don't know 209 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: what he did with Cole going on there, barring him up, 210 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: barring him up on his own joint. Man cold, Jamae, 211 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: That's what Jamaine, That's what he does. Man like Jermaine 212 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: is a rappers, rapper like he's his powers are increasing 213 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: and you know, I love to see it. I'm looking 214 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: forward to his next album. 215 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: The Fall Off, because you know, I love full of 216 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: the off Season, so I'm interested to see what he's 217 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: going to deliver. Yeah, I think that big free dynamic 218 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: is still so interesting. I feel like even when you 219 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 2: know Drake digs up Cold or allows Cole to like 220 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 2: you know, shine on his platform and always big brings 221 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: by the shows to me always feels like it's a 222 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: competitive stance against Kendrick, like a little dig of the 223 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: Big Three, Like they're like he's on They're on one 224 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 2: side of dudes on the other side. Like you know, 225 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: you have some song on the album about he says, uh, 226 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: making Michelle Obama's playlist or something like that. I feel 227 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: like that was a Jabba Kadot Like it's the Big three, man, 228 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: it's the dynamic we can't escape, right, Yeah, I love that. 229 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: You know, it's like Cole isn't oblivious to what the 230 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: chatter is online and offline. You know, those guys are 231 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: the three headed monster and it's been that way for 232 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: a long time. But it's also a competitive nature that 233 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: Cole has. He comes from the school of Cannabis and 234 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: jay Z and those guys you know so in nas 235 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: so of course he's he wants to be the best. 236 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: I think they all, all three of them want to. 237 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: So you think Drake Jay saying he's taking a break finally, man, 238 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: he's been. He's been giving us a lot of output 239 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: the last even in the twenty twenty he's he's giving 240 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: us what like four projects and stuff.

I think he can easily get pulled 243 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 2: back in. He's a monster, he's a cerebral assassin. But 244 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: if he says he's gonna take a break, that's people 245 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,599 Speaker 2: really excited about the idea he takes a break. What 246 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: do you think about him taking a break? 247 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: You know, I like the idea of a break.

Other than that, I'm thinking about all right, man, 745 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 4: I can't wait for this. All I got, like how 746 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:01,959 Speaker 4: many more rounds he got? 747 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: You know? 748 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 4: I try to be as much professional as possible too, though, 749 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 4: because that ruins the footage a lot of the times 750 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,719 Speaker 4: when you're talking through your guys material are doing all 751 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 4: of this, and now you've got other stuff going on. 752 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 4: Like for me, I try to make sure the material 753 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: gonna come out as good as possible, the footage gonna 754 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 4: come out it because that's what makes the views go up. 755 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 4: If if the battle is choppy on the arguing side 756 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 4: or just looking bad, people are not gonna want to 757 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 4: watch it.

Then, of course you know 788 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 4: where I'm at on my status of it. So this 789 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 4: was a big battle coming into it already, you know 790 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. 791 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 3: So then all the. 792 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 4: Speculations surrounding the battle, everything like where it's going down at, 793 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 4: who is he gonna talk about this? Do they got 794 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 4: this going on? Like all the things around it made 795 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 4: it even that much bigger. So even in the face off, 796 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 4: I was telling him like, man, we're gonna y'all keep playing. 797 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 4: We're gonna go viral. Like I'm saying that to him, 798 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 4: I'm gonna talk crazy up in here. You know what 799 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 4: I'm saying. He's saying like, yeah, I want to go viral. 800 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 4: So I think I didn't have to spectation that it'll 801 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 4: go like how I did. But I did feel like 802 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 4: it was gonna like make some some noise, you feel me, 803 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 4: But it probably over exceeded what I thought it was 804 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 4: gonna do. 805 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying for real, for real. 806 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: Because to me, like the last Battle, I feel like 807 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: they had that sort of mainstream attention was probably like 808 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: the load of luxe Cali cool back, and he tweeted, and. 809 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: You're gonna get this work again most definitely, I believe. So. 810 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 4: I think since then, Battle Rap has been big, but 811 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 4: it haven't got that main stream attention. Like so like 812 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 4: Drake has been to the battles, you know, he sponsored battles, 813 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 4: like he sponsored some of my battles. We've seen other 814 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 4: celebrities there, but when they talk about it, like it 815 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 4: don't really still go as far as it could go. 816 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 4: I think this time it kind of just you see 817 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 4: people talking about it, people blogging about it, people just everywhere. 818 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Radio stations playing it, you 819 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: know what I mean. 820 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: I feel hearing like your playback on Power one five 821 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: that was. 822 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 4: Crazy right there, you know what I'm saying. Like I 823 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 4: think I was still in New York when that was 824 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 4: going on too, like because I didn't leave. I bought 825 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 4: it one way after when I Battle Easy. So we 826 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 4: was in Philly in New York for some days like 827 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 4: and people hitting me up like yo, they playing you 828 00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 4: on Palm. 829 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 3: I'm like, Yo, this is crazy. 830 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 4: So that was a humbling experience, you know what I'm saying, 831 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 4: because I know they've talked about battle rap probably like 832 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 4: you said, but nobody's ever played the whole round right 833 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 4: from somebody up there. 834 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. 835 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 4: They don't play my ram before they play one of 836 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 4: my songs. So hey, that's that's a blessed. 837 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: It's a start, you know, like that two Am Hollywood Hills. 838 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 2: But that's that's a challenge, right, It's challenge for battle 839 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 2: rappers to become recording artists that break cha. Can you 840 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 2: speak to that? 841 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 842 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 4: I think the challenge is because battle rapper is a 843 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 4: niche sport that your fans kind of want you to 844 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 4: stay there. You know what I'm saying, be the king 845 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 4: of that world. It's like if you an athlete, say 846 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 4: you you play football, but you're amazing at basketball, but 847 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 4: you and you in the NFL. You can't go to 848 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 4: the NBA because like nah, man, you are quarterback. You 849 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 4: might be able to dunk on everybody and make it 850 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 4: over here, but they want you, right here. 851 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,479 Speaker 3: This is what you do round here. 852 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 4: We've seen athletes who are only a few who've done it, 853 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 4: like the Bo Jackson's and Dion's and you know what 854 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 4: I mean, seeing Mike Trot, they wouldn't letting even happen, 855 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 4: you know. But it's the same with battle rap, where 856 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 4: you could put out consistently good music, but the fans like, man, 857 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 4: when you're next battle, when your next battle. So like 858 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 4: one of my challenges is to always try to make 859 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 4: sure when I'm putting out the music that it's not 860 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 4: battle rap music. I'm not trying to have battle rap 861 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 4: disc records or battle rap be like punchliney type songs 862 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 4: like you say at two am, Hollywood. Heills more substance music, 863 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 4: like it's something that's talking to like my lifestyle, my 864 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 4: struggles and things like that, to where the fans who 865 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 4: do listen to it, it's like, Okay, this don't sound 866 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 4: like how he sound on stage. 867 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 3: So I can be a fan of. 868 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 4: His music separate from his battle but it's definitely is 869 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 4: definitely a challenge, you know what I'm saying. 870 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: It's weird because like traditionally, like rappers like be a 871 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: Big and dmx j Z, d eminem all come from 872 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: that battle rap. Like battle rap used to be like 873 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: the con do it to get signed, you knowing, right, 874 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: But it seems like somewhere along the lines the narrative 875 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: has changed. 876 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: Well, like you, when they come battle of its almost 877 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 2: like he gives that side of him up, he becomes 878 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 2: them and them, he becomes something different, but that's still 879 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 2: in him, right, we hit a bat And then sometimes 880 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 2: they say the mainstream battles also do spike up interest 881 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 2: in the battle scene because people remember, oh it's about 882 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 2: is my lyrics? 883 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 3: Is still the lyricism there? 884 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 4: And then I think now as of late now you 885 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 4: can actually make a career being a battle rapper. Like 886 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 4: back then, like you had to battle to get signed 887 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 4: because there was no money in battle rep. Now with 888 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 4: so much different money in battle rap, the top tier 889 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 4: battlers can make like you know what I mean, two 890 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 4: to three four hundred thousand a year, you know what 891 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 4: I'm saying, maybe even more. You know how many battles 892 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 4: they do and how much they get paid for battle 893 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So you got to catch 894 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 4: like that that's up in there, like making million dollars 895 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 4: off a battle rep. They like I'll just stick right here, 896 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 4: you know. So I think that's kind of where kind 897 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 4: of the the change when where a lot of the 898 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 4: top tiers wasn't trying to get signed anymore. 899 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 3: They signing battle deals and things like that. 900 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 2: And a lot of times the battle rep we don't 901 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: think a battlerapper from Compton, California. Right. And then I've 902 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 2: seen some interviews you were talking about like speaking to 903 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 2: that like that journey of like almost you change your 904 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 2: mind state that if you're getting a thousand dollars a battle, 905 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 2: that's not this cheap money whatever blah blah. But if 906 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 2: I get focused on that, I'm gonna elevate. 907 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 3: Im elevantor yeah. 908 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 4: No, that's how it come like like you say, I'm 909 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 4: coming from Compton.

Like do you think man 1070 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,360 Speaker 1: the same person as like a traditional rap performance. 1071 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 4: It depends, Like for certain everybody, price range is different. 1072 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 4: So let's say it's certain matchups where I can get 1073 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 4: about fifty thousand for that one battle you know what 1074 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 4: I'm saying. So, and I know it's certain traditional rap 1075 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 4: performances who do shows. 1076 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 3: Where they might can get fifty four or so. Then 1077 00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 3: it's something who don't like. 1078 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 4: I think it was a big argument, like on the 1079 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 4: internet with say cheese or something that they're spending with 1080 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 4: some people saying that battle rippers get paid like two hundred. 1081 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,399 Speaker 1: In a sandwich and song, you know what I'm saying. 1082 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 4: And I think hit Man show like a back end 1083 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 4: where he got like half a million or something more 1084 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 4: what it is, you know, so like, it's definitely money 1085 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 4: in there, and I think the misconception was that it's 1086 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 4: where they was arguing just saying like that they make 1087 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 4: more make less. I don't think it's really a big difference. 1088 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 4: I think the difference is a regular, you know, artist 1089 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 4: who does shows. Maybe he can do his shows from 1090 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 4: Thursday all the way to Sunday performing the same song. 1091 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 3: Let's say he get ten thousand. 1092 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 4: In the show by his fourth show, he done made 1093 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 4: forty bands, you know what I'm saying, Say he getting 1094 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 4: fifty by his four if he done made two hundreds, 1095 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

That was in California. That 1182 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 4: was one of the first big events they did in Kelly. 1183 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 4: It was disasters on the car Tay. They had a 1184 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 4: lot of people there, you know. So yeah, my first 1185 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 4: paid was like five hundred and so I think after 1186 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 4: that I made it was like getting a thousand. It 1187 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 4: was like a whole year where I was probably getting 1188 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 4: like a thousand and twelve hundred and fifteen hundred, you 1189 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So to be where I'm at now, 1190 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 4: it means everything. You know, Like I ain't have it easy. 1191 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 4: I had to really like go through the gauntlet, you 1192 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Like, besides that a battle, all 1193 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 4: my other battles was on the road. You know what 1194 00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 4: I'm saying, I have to go to other people back 1195 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 4: are other people cities, you know what I mean. 1196 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 2: So most battle is it clear declared who the winner 1197 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 2: is because a lot of times it's rooted in debate, right, 1198 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,240 Speaker 2: they want right, it's least most of the fans feedback after. 1199 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 3: Unless it's judge just like an opinionated sport. You know 1200 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. 1201 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,760 Speaker 4: Now, you got clear cut Like you can watch battles 1202 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 4: like my last one, what easy, it's clear cut out 1203 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 4: want question right, But like it's it's definitely battles where 1204 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,919 Speaker 4: it's like really debatable though, where the fans is split 1205 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 4: and they argue about it. But then it's something that's 1206 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 4: like even though it's an opinionative sport, everybody kind of 1207 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 4: like man, this guy one, you know, what I'm saying, 1208 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 4: we ain't arguing about it. But yeah, like that's the 1209 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 4: good thing about Battle round. Like even if you lose 1210 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 4: nine lot of team, it's not judge. So they gonna 1211 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 4: get on camera and say they want anyway, you know 1212 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. 1213 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 2: That part of the parts the controversy th it's always 1214 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 2: a decision, you know, it's debates versus Like afterwards they 1215 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 2: gonna come out there like men they was, Hey, man, 1216 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 2: I feel like I got it. 1217 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,839 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You know, I don't care 1218 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 3: what they said, you know. So that's what I think. 1219 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 3: That's what keeps the fans intrigued to though, because they 1220 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 3: can always go for they guy. You know what I mean? 1221 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 2: Do you think the guy like it's always one guy 1222 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 2: goes first. You stay the same positions, right, this is 1223 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 2: the guy that go last have the advantage like a 1224 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 2: baseball team, where you get to. 1225 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 4: It depends though sometimes a lot of times people do 1226 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,399 Speaker 4: think that. But depending on how the battle goes out, 1227 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 4: if if if you can snatch that crowd early by 1228 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 4: going first and get them on your side, and then 1229 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 4: now you got now you got the other guy on defense. 1230 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 3: Sometimes that works. 1231 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 2: I thought the Black captain went for it. 1232 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 3: I thought, how I felt like that. 1233 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 2: I felt that was the strongest round. He came out strong. 1234 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 2: He tried to put my back against me. I know 1235 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,399 Speaker 2: you're going to talk about this. Why do you think 1236 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 2: that didn't work and you're still able to get that 1237 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 2: off because like I. 1238 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 4: Felt like, uh, in this battles, like in this battle, 1239 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 4: though you saying it is, this is what they come 1240 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 4: in to hear it. Though you know, sometimes it's like okay, 1241 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 4: you can say that, but people don't that's what they 1242 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 4: wanted to hear. 1243 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 3: So it's like, yeah, but this is the baut Like nah, yeah. 1244 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 4: You know, because it's you don't get it anybody like, hey, 1245 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 4: I know you're gonna talk about this. 1246 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we want to hear. We want to 1247 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 3: hear him talk about it. So that's one of the thing. 1248 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,800 Speaker 4: Felt like he tried to stop it early, but it 1249 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 4: was like I never really spoke on any of it 1250 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 4: that he said that I was gonna speak on it 1251 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 4: to vary the end. So by the end, he said 1252 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 4: it so early in the battle that the fans even 1253 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 4: probably forgot that. He like said that, you know what 1254 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 4: I'm saying, because the first two rounds. I'm more so 1255 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 4: attacking him and then doing different things. I'm not really 1256 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 4: attacking none the things.

You you grab something that's 1282 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 4: on the surface and you dive a little deeper into it. 1283 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. It's exploited a little bit. 1284 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,320 Speaker 4: And I think Easy played into it because of some 1285 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 4: of the things he said in his round that kind 1286 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 4: of opened it up for what I said, to make 1287 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 4: it sound even. 1288 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 3: More like validated. You know what I'm saying. 1289 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 4: If he had counted it maybe differently, it probably would 1290 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 4: have been a different reaction from the people too. So 1291 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 4: you're like, she took it. She took it like a champ, 1292 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,399 Speaker 4: you know.

She know that 1297 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 4: near tives will be paining it, that anything that's out 1298 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 4: there that's on the surface to be talked about, it's 1299 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 4: gonna be talked about. So I think people was kind 1300 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 4: of shocked, like, man, why she just standing there and 1301 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,800 Speaker 4: not saying this, like she's not in the battles. She 1302 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 4: really can't say nothing, you know what I'm saying, Like 1303 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 4: she's just the host. 1304 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 3: She has to sit there and this is her lead. 1305 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 2: You know. 1306 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 4: It's like she can't be biased on either side. She 1307 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 4: has to play the middle. So that was what made 1308 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,160 Speaker 4: the battle even great. So, like I said, no, I 1309 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 4: didn't think about it creating like a narrative on them personally, 1310 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,439 Speaker 4: because like he said things about me that wasn't true. 1311 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,320 Speaker 4: He said a whole bunch of things that about me 1312 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 4: that wasn't true. But it's like I'm just I got 1313 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 4: to sit there and listen to it, you know what 1314 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 4: I'm saying. The whole time, everything you can say, I 1315 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 4: can't say nothing about it. I don't even get on 1316 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 4: interviews afterwards disputing because I know you were just making 1317 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,320 Speaker 4: up whatever you have to get for your round, you 1318 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:24,800 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, the same with me, It was 1319 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,360 Speaker 4: you know something was out there, y I poked at it. 1320 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. 1321 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 4: I think I just did it so creatively and in 1322 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 4: a way that nobody else thought that it would have 1323 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 4: been done. Because he battled somebody before me, Battle Disaster 1324 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 4: before me who poked at the same rumor, poked at 1325 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 4: the same things from the blog, but he didn't do 1326 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 4: it the same way I did it, you know, so 1327 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 4: it didn't hit his hard, you know what I'm saying. 1328 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 2: And it's up to like a million views now too exactly. 1329 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 2: I say, you're big enough, rem because that'shere her league is, 1330 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 2: you said another battle she had with successful. 1331 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 4: He battled hit Many Holler earlier in the year. That's 1332 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 4: about two three million block hit Mayhaller.

Like we've seen her have stylist 1399 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 4: out there to make the women look their best. She's 1400 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,719 Speaker 4: she's bringing them in there and afterwards they're they're doing 1401 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 4: interviews on Joe Budden, They're doing interviews on the news 1402 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 4: and different things of that nature. So she kind of 1403 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,960 Speaker 4: brings a bigger light to it. So yeah, I mean, 1404 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,640 Speaker 4: I would definitely battle her that if she wanted to 1405 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 4: get in the ring with me. But as far as 1406 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 4: me battling women, yeah, I batle Jazz the rapper, I 1407 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,919 Speaker 4: battle Casey j I battle Coffee Brown. 1408 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 3: So I battled a few women. 1409 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,280 Speaker 1: You know, rappers too. I don't give a fuck. 1410 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 4: Anybody, you know what I'm saying, These heads anybody, it's 1411 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 4: a prefect, same like Na the prep It's the same, 1412 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 4: but in the sense it is different because they how 1413 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 4: do I explain it, Because it's it's not like it's 1414 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:49,320 Speaker 4: a physical sport. 1415 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,839 Speaker 3: So the women's brain work just like a male brand. 1416 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 4: So it's not like, you know, you got any advantage 1417 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 4: rapping wise, but it's definitely like just a different preparation 1418 00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 4: because certain things that I can say to a male 1419 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 4: I can't say to a woman. 1420 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 3: That's gonna be, you know what I mean, the same? 1421 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 4: You know what I mean, like certain bars about you 1422 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 4: didn't Like if I could tell a god like man, 1423 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:07,800 Speaker 4: you don't know about this, you don't know about that. 1424 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 4: It's a woman, see, ain't supposed to know about it. 1425 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,560 Speaker 4: So some of the things that I have to attack 1426 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,320 Speaker 4: them on is like a different attack route, you know. 1427 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,360 Speaker 4: So yeah, it's definitely difficult. And I think it's difficult 1428 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 4: for them too though, because the things that they can 1429 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 4: attack other women and they can't attack us with. 1430 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 3: So it's definitely a challenge. 1431 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 4: But like I think those make for the best battles 1432 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 4: when both are prepared, you know what I'm saying. You 1433 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,240 Speaker 4: get like a lot of classic men and women battles 1434 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 4: for show. 1435 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:29,440 Speaker 1: What do you think makes a good battle? 1436 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:31,400 Speaker 3: That's a good question. 1437 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 4: That's a good question, all things considered, the crowd being participating, 1438 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 4: you know, being in tune with the boars, being in 1439 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,839 Speaker 4: tune with what's going on, both battlers off the top 1440 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 4: have to be prepared, no choke and no stumbling. They 1441 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 4: have to come fully prepared, ready to wrap, ready to 1442 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,840 Speaker 4: put on the show. Uh what else would make the 1443 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 4: battle just just over the top good? Like you said, 1444 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 4: we got the crowd and you got both battlers participating. Well, 1445 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 4: I think the stage depending on the battle, because sometime 1446 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 4: a big stage for certain battles don't make sense, you know, 1447 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,360 Speaker 4: like you got three four thousand people in there, but 1448 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 4: this battle needed a smaller room. So I think depending 1449 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,680 Speaker 4: on like the location of the battle makes the battle 1450 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 4: as well, Like you're starting to see battle wrap going 1451 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 4: back to more of a smaller room setting because it's 1452 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,279 Speaker 4: more gritty, more grimy, people are listening more in the 1453 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 4: bigger stage is kind of more theatrical, you know what 1454 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 4: I'm saying, where the bar is hitting. But performance is 1455 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 4: key more than what you're saying. So I think location 1456 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,360 Speaker 4: that depends on it too.

I'm talking about I've 1857 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:46,960 Speaker 4: been grinding so long that I remember going to the 1858 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 4: Chris Saus store out and ran into Black Sam and 1859 01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,840 Speaker 4: drop CDs off things of that nature, and then we 1860 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:52,800 Speaker 4: got mutual partishs like I know, cast that's out of 1861 01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 4: the neighborhood where Nipsey is from, and like he likewise, 1862 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 4: you know, cast out of the neighborhood Whe'm from. 1863 01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 3: We just didn't get a. 1864 01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,800 Speaker 4: Chance to you know, do that like yo, my name 1865 01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 4: is what my name is, and get that kind of bond. 1866 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,000 Speaker 4: So that's one of my biggest regrets because he I come, 1867 01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,560 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, and he definitely like changed 1868 01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 4: the game for West Coast Rap, changed the game for 1869 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 4: like young street dudes that's trying to like better they self. 1870 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,000 Speaker 4: I think his message was clear on that, like, you know, 1871 01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,360 Speaker 4: more so than the music, just you know, just trying 1872 01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,720 Speaker 4: to like educate yourself. You know, he did a lot 1873 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 4: of educating you know, and you know, and uh in 1874 01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,160 Speaker 4: more ways than just the music. But I think the 1875 01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 4: music was the Spearhead because if you see somebody that 1876 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:30,840 Speaker 4: looked just like you, the big change, you know, the braids, 1877 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:33,559 Speaker 4: that look like a typical street la dude, but he's 1878 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 4: talking something that you need to hear. You're more receptive 1879 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 4: to the to the information to somebody that don't look 1880 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 4: nothing like you trying to tell it to you, you 1881 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,639 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So his impact is still gonna 1882 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,519 Speaker 4: live on, you know, I mean, through through the music, 1883 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 4: through the streets. So yeah, that was probably one of 1884 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,840 Speaker 4: my biggest uh, like I say issues like man, I know, 1885 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:50,639 Speaker 4: like you know because even the letter to the blocks, 1886 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 4: everybody in the comments like, oh my god, I love 1887 01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 4: to hear nipancy on that, you know what I'm saying, 1888 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,519 Speaker 4: So like salutes salute to the people that you know 1889 01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,080 Speaker 4: that hear the music and it reminds them of bro, 1890 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,200 Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
