Speaker 2: you're not going to be surprised by some of these

43
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: because I have literally called some of these albums classics.

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: Because that's what they are.

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 4: That means it's for sure some fuddyduddy on it is

46
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: for sure some funnyudy.

47
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 2: These are classic albums. Now, how do we want to start?

48
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: By the way, this isn't no particular order.

49
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: In no particular order at all. Yet I didn't order these.

50
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: In no particular order.

51
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: And of course a king, you know, my super producer,

52
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: is here to give his take because you are like

53
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: a music historian. You're a part of the academy, so

54
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: you know music.

55
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I don't. But I know lists are subjectives,

56
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: so I'm interested. I love that this is this is exercise,

57
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 5: and you at home listening and watching do it too.

58
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I do want to hear other people's no

59
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 4: skip because we're not talking about before we get it

60
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 4: from my list. This isn't a list of perfect albums.

61
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 4: To me, doesn't mean the album is perfect.

62
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: But sonically it yes.

63
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: It means play these all the way down there.

64
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 4: I play all of these all the I play these

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: all the way down and for the most and I

66
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: do all of these songs even if the albums aren't perfect.

67
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: That's my that's my only caveat too.

68
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: So let's start. We're gonna start, you know what. I'm

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: gonna put a of course out there Usher.

70
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Confessions Okay, for sure, that didn't.

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: Make Confessions for me is a powerful album, his best project,

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: although I really did like as well eighty.

73
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: Seven oh one. There were just skips on there for me,

74
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: but Confessions by far as the no Skip project.

75
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: I enjoyed seeing him perform damn near all of them live,

76
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: and to me, that that being an album where the

77
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: B sides people know, like the songs that weren't singles

78
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 2: you were singing.

79
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: That's a really good measurement, you know what I mean.

80
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: And so Confessions I'm gonna throw that is one of my.

81
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: No skip albums.

82
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 4: Okay, this is the first album that I wrote down

83
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 4: when you told me that this is what we're gonna do.

84
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: And I've played this album probably more times than any

85
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: of the modern albums that have come out over the

86
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 4: past ten twelve years. And that is Anderson Pac Malibu.

87
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: I've played that album a trillion times. I haven't listened

88
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: to every single song.

89
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: It's the sequence and is perfect.

90
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 4: They all just hit one after another day, sound perfect together,

91
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 4: and like I just he's and that was the album

92
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 4: that I don't know if that's the album that that

93
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 4: made him a star, but I feel like that's the

94
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: album that made people take notice of who the fuck

95
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: is I never heard of Anderson Pact before Malibu came out,

96
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 4: and a lot of.

97
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: People probably didn't hear of him. Even he became a

98
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: lot more mainstream with when.

99
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: He but when Malibu came out, I didn't even hear

100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: no hype about it. That was one of those albums

101
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 4: that I was just like, Oh, who is this dude?

102
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: I saw someone make a comment about it. Let me

103
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 4: just listen to it and see what it is. And

104
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, ship, this nigga is about to

105
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: be the greatest shit ever. Like he raps, he sings,

106
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 4: I don't think he's made Yeah.

107
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: Because he's more into it.

108
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he does every part of the song making.

109
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 4: But I also don't think outside of the Bruno records,

110
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 4: he hasn't had Yeah. But he doesn't have he hasn't

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: made his songs as these are the I'm making this

112
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: record to be the most commercially viable. What he likes

113
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: for what he wants to hear, and what his audience

114
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 4: wants to hear and like from showmanship to like I said,

115
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: all the musicianship like this album to me is like

116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: a real.

117
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: Your favorite song on that project, not.

118
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: Hard, don't stand a chance which you put me through,

119
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 4: put me that that song. I've played a trillion survive,

120
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 4: but that's my ship.

121
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: So you said when I told you to make your

122
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: top ten lists. That was the first album.

123
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: That was the first album I wrote down.

124
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: This is where y'all are gonna know me.

125
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: The first album that I put down it was pretty

126
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: Ricky Blue Stars And.

127
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,800

00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: see that coming.

129
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: I should have known that.

130
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:33,240

183
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: rap classic. But beyond it being a certified rap classic,

184
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 4: this is one of those albums for anybody listening to this,

185
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: I know that if you lived in Atlanta during a

186
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 4: certain time period, specifically like two thousand, let's call it

187
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 4: two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, two thousand

188
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: and eight, can I guess, Sure, take a guess. So

189
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 4: we're talking about a very specific time time. Yeah, yeah,

190
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: this this time period in Atlanta. I don't even know.

191
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: If this album I would.

192
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,280

Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, certified classic, top to bottom, no skips, let

199
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: it run, you will sell dope.

200
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it's one of those that literally

201
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: made me want to be a drug dealer. Yeah. No,

202
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: it is a very I mean I did.

203
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: End up pushing Molly a couple of years later. I

204
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: pushed but no, no, no, no, that and that was the era.

205
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: So I'm in high school, Jesus shut up.

206
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: So I'm in high school when that drops.

207
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: And literally at this time, I would not talk to

208
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: you unless you had a mouthful of golds. So this

209
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: track and and you probably sold a little something something.

210
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: This is the Spinners. This is that era. This is

211
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: you said on six seven right now?

212
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah six seven ye yeah yeah, a fake ID era,

213
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 5: So that's crazy.

214
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: My fake ID era is a whole other set of music.

215
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: This is my fake idea.

216
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: So this album right here.

217
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 4: And the reason I say that about Atlanta is because

218
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 4: this was probably the last period.

219
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: Of time that Atlanta was Atlanta, like the so I

220
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: lived in Atlanta during this time.

221
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 4: What people think about when they say I'm going to

222
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: Atlanta and what I want to see and what I

223
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,199

270
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: a way that I was just so happy with it.

271
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: So uh the autobiography, big mensa.

272
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: So give me chosen.

273
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: I've chosen two hip hop albums, so I guess right now,

274
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 4: I will choose two that aren't rap albums that you

275
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 4: may or may not expect.

276
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: But I still feel like these are like no skip classics.

277
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: Okay, no Skip classics, not non hip.

278
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: Hop, non hip hop, all right, give me non hip

279
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 4: hop all right. So the first one is Beyonce Renaissance.

280
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: I have and it's not Renaissance.

281
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 4: So for me as a straight black male, I always

282
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 4: respected Beyonce as an entity. I didn't really ever invest

283
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 4: in her art emotionally, Like it was never like I

284
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: knew who she was talking to. She wasn't really talking

285
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 4: to me. I'm not mad at that. It just wasn't

286
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 4: anything that I was really into that. I didn't really

287
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 4: get invested in her until the first surprise album.

288
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: What was it? It was Beyond?

289
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: It was Lemonade that was limited was the first surprise drop?

290
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: That was what was it for?

291
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: No, it was it was Lemonade that was a surprise

292
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: drop where that was.

293
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 4: The first one though she didn't do a surprise drop

294
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: for uh, I thought Beyonce, I thought some.

295
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: Time I had me in here line because I don't know.

296
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: Okay, well I don't know, but it doesn't even matter

297
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 4: because I just didn't get invested in. But when Renaissance

298
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 4: came out, I was like, Okay, the first the won't

299
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 4: Break My Soul. I was like, oh, this is hard,

300
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: like this the self title, right, Okay, So that was

301
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 4: the first one. Oh yeah that was nine, uh thirteen, yeah, yeah, thirteen.

302
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: When I heard Break my Soul, I was like, damn,

303
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: this is kind of dope, Like it had a you know,

304
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 4: I'll be forty five in April. So for me, yeah

305
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 4: yeah right, yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes, all of that,

306
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: all of that shit. But this album reminded me of

307
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: like how VH one used to be, like the eighties,

308
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: like Boy George, like that, that era of.

309
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: Eighties disco pop type of music.

310
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: It just gave me that feeling. It's crazy because that

311
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: whole project had to grow on me. I did not.

312
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: I did not, but I'm not I'm not into dance

313
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: music and like that or that type of genre.

314
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: So for me, I didn't get it. But I did enjoy.

315
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: The tour so much that her performing those records and

316
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: the graphics and.

317
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Seeing seeing the joy.

318
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: That album brought so many people. It I turned into

319
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: a fan of that.

320
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: To me, it was like her hitting a creative like

321
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: point when it was like, oh, I've got this all

322
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: figured out exactly how this.

323
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: Music is gonna sound, but the tour is going.

324
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 4: And to your point about the tour, like I saw

325
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 4: that tour in Vegas at at Reliant Statement.

326
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: And that life in Jersey and I went to the

327
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: one in Vegas.

328
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: In Vegas, my girl actually the company that she works for,

329
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: they do business with Reliant Stadium, so they gave her

330
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 4: and a few people at her company, like we had

331
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: the v v v v v v v I P

332
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 4: and so I've never been to a gay club.

333
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: The girl was tired and said, you want to.

334
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 4: Know, it's a very gay, it's a very LGBTQ. It

335
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 4: was house, it was a ballroom.

336
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 1: All of that was Madison on it. It was it

337
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: was an ode to Bob. Is that who it was?

338
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: The uh the ballroom someone someone who worked I guess

339
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: with with her mom or a family member.

340
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: It was like during the tour they even showed videos

341
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: of him on the screen.

342
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: So I've never been to a gay club before, but

343
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 4: like going to that concert was probably as close as

344
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 4: I'm ever going to get because like they was in

345
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 4: there having so much fun. Everybody in there was just free.

346
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: Nobody was even trying to like act cool like people were.

347
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 4: It was having like the holy ghosts in there, and

348
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 4: they completely immersed themselves into this world that she built.

349
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 4: And the album plays so seamlessly that it's almost like

350
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 4: you're listening to a radio mix or DJ mix, because

351
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 4: there's one song into another, into another and it's just bangers,

352
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: bangers slapping you in the face, and I was just like, Yo,

353
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 4: she's got it.

354
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: I can't you say renaissance. I'm curious to hear this

355
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: other album.

356
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 4: That's so the other album that isn't hip hop that

357
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: I think is tracked by track. And some people might

358
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 4: feel the type of way about this because people feel

359
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 4: a way about this person, about this artist. But John

360
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 4: Mayer Continuum is super Yeah. That's my only white that's

361
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 4: my actually my only white in there. But John Mayer

362
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: Continuum is an album that I can play top to bottom,

363
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 4: no skips if you're looking for album that is.

364
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: You know, there's obviously the.

365
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: Acoustic guitar of it all, but there's a lot of

366
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: like heart and a lot of reflection in that album.

367
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 4: And it just makes me feel at peace. What's the

368
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 4: what's the what's the self help? At the ship to

369
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 4: lebron Be kicking Meditate to me?

370
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: Is that kind of album?

371
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it gives me that feeling of I'm just calm,

372
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: I'm at peace, and I'm gonna just listen to this

373
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 4: white man singing.

374
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: Play the guitar. Listen to this white man.

375
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not mad at that because you went that

376
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: direction and because you said Beyonce. Beyonce is on my

377
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: list as well. Okay, so I'm gonna give you two

378
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 2: two more. Uh, this will be five and six. I

379
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: have Beyonce Dangerously in Love.

380
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 4: Okay, I see, I can understand why you would do that.

381
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: That is the Beyonce that I love, R and B Beyonce.

382
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: I cannot believe recently hearing that jay Z had to

383
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 2: pretty much co sign and she had to get jay

384
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: Z on it because the label actually did not like

385
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: any of this album.

386
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 1: They don't know what they're talking about. Uh. It's like

387
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: I never.

388
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: Said yes, like that's oh my god, me myself and

389
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: I you like, yeah.

390
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 3: That was That's my favorite Beyonce song.

391
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: Dangerously and Love like the Vote, Like this album for me.

392
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: Made me want to get a man. By the way,

393
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: hold on, I believe this came out when I was

394
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: in middle school. If I'm not mistaken, hold on.

395
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 3: Want us to listen to all this secular.

396
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: This is the crazy part.

397
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: So so imagine this Confessions came out in three to two,

398
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: right or two?

399
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Because I was in seventh grade when Confessions came out

400
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: same year. I think, yeah, I think when.

401
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: I say these albums made me feel like I can't

402
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: wait to love somebody, I can't wait to hunch was

403
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: four okay? This was this was like my jam. Now

404
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 2: you know what else was my jam? And I think

405
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: it also was around the same time, maybe.

406
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: Oh five, damn. I really liked the album. Second, Jamie

407
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: Fox unpredictable. That's a good call.

408
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 3: Yes, that's all.

409
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: It's a very good call. So I I two thousand

410
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: and five, so here we go. Three, four, five, I

411
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: was in my R and B love a bag okay.

412
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 2: And then five then came pretty ricky shortly after. But

413
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: for me, Jamie Fox's unpredictable. Everything about the singles that

414
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: he dropped, but the album Cuts made you.

415
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: He took you.

416
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: From wanting to to to to love, wanting to have sex,

417
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 2: wanting to party and be out, wanting. He just gave

418
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 2: you every feeling on this album. And he dropped another

419
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: album shortly after that didn't They didn't didn't hit the

420
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: same is this one. This is not only a no

421
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: skip album.

422
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: This is a classic. And I'm hoping that Jamie Fox

423
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: and his.

424
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 2: Clone decides that they want to drop another album.

425
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: I did just hear a snippet.

426
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: He did release a song in like twenty twenty four,

427
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: but I'm really hoping that we get some some Jamie

428
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: Fox tunes.

429
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 4: I think Jamie Fox might be the single most talented

430
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 4: person that we have ever to ever be a Hollywood star.

431
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 4: There's just he can do too much shit well, he's

432
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 4: too good at all of it.

433
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: Bro, I can't think of anybody else.

434
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: He starts one of my favorite films, law Abiding Citizen.

435
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: Yah across the drama when.

436
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 2: I said, like he's he's incredible, and then he had

437
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 2: a whole show named after him.

438
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 4: Do a sitcom, do comedy, to sketch shows, to do

439
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 4: drama dramas, to do music, to do to hosting, to

440
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 4: writing music. There's I don't think there's nothing that guy

441
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: can't do when he comes to entertainment. And I just

442
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 4: don't know anybody else.

443
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: And I don't know if y'all are young, and maybe

444
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: you don't even know that Nigga had an album if

445
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: you have not listened to Unpredictable that is by far

446
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 2: a no skip album.

447
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah you gotta check. So those those are my two.

448
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: So I do love so far.

449
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: That Predictable alcohol but it was, oh my god, it

450
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: just makes you feel.

Speaker 1: So we do both have so far.

452

454
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: Beyonce album, which I do love that we are saying

455
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 2: she has two no skip albums at the very least.

456
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 2: So okay, where are you going next? My next direction

457
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: is going to be surprising because we have that. We're

458
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: on six, right, I gave six, So my six so

459
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: far pretty Ricky, Blue Stars Us, Your Confessions, j Cole

460
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: forest Hill's Drive, Vic Mensa autobiography, Jamie Fox Unpredictable, and

461
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: Beyonce Dangerously in Love.

462
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 3: Okay, so here this is my five and six. I'll

463
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: just do two.

464
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 4: One of them is Outcasts of Cuminine okay, and I

465
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 4: don't have outcast on That's just that that album. I

466
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 4: think it's their best album, is there. It's the album

467
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 4: that set up so that speaker Box Love Below could

468
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 4: be the big the bigger album. But I don't think

469
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: speaker Box Love Below works unless you have of Cuminin first,

470
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 4: because at this point, this is Andre turning into weird Andre.

471
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: This is Andre with the mystique like.

472
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: He didn't have, you know, for people that are obsessed

473
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: with Andre nowum he pissed me off. Just he's just

474
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 4: living his like being rich, playing his low God bless you, bro.

475
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 4: But like before this album, nothing Andre wasn't like the

476
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 4: outcast was still loved, but Big Boy was the quintessential

477
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 4: part of Outcasts. Like he was the cool nigga. He

478
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 4: was the nigga that people related to. He was Atlanta.

479
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: People wanted to be like Big Boy. Ask people before

480
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 4: this album who they wanted to be like Bigger Dre.

481
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: Big Boy was the.

482
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 4: Front man for Outcasts in that kind of way, and

483
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 4: then Andre kind of went off in this other direction,

484
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 4: being creative, doing other things, the wigs, the shoulder pads,

485
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 4: the whole nine, and it had people questioning Andre.

486
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 3: He says on the album is he on drugs? As

487
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: he gay?

488
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 4: But like after this point it worked so well that

489
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 4: he it turned him into his own mysterious character with

490
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 4: his own ecosystem.

491
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 1: That Andre and turned them even more global.

492
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, the weird that people could look into

493
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: because it took away the element of street.

494
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah right, these aren't just young dirty Lanta is

495
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: rapping on board now, it's oh these are.

496
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 2: And I love that there was a representation of how

497
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: blackness is not a monolith very much. So it speaks

498
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 2: to Atlanta where rap here was typecasted.

499
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: So I love that criminal for sure.

500
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 4: And then this other album is also a rap album,

501
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 4: but it's it's.

502
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit lower key than that.

503
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 4: But Lupe Fiasco, Food and Liquor top to bottom, No Skips, Okay,

504
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 4: you know you got him kind of introducing himself to

505
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 4: the world via kick Push and kick Push to me,

506
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 4: isn't even remotely close to the best song on his album.

507
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 4: And to your points earlier, the album cuts to me

508
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 4: are the ones on here that really make it go

509
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 4: Sunshine and I Got You and like these other records

510
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 4: where it's just damn this dude is like a lyrical, miracle, spiritual.

511
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: But he's a good ass songwriter to me, when we.

512
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 2: Talk about No Skip album, the non singles, they have

513
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: to be just to where you wonder why it wasn't.

514
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: Because everyone knows this song literally all.

515
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: Right, So.

516
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna give too that no one's probably even

517
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 2: thinking of from two artists that y'all might be confused

518
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: that I'm even bringing them into here. Get the fun out, okay,

519
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: now you're being one is one is?

520
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: I just love him as the artist. Boys, you said,

521
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: what that's not a bad one?

522
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 6: No?

523
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: No, Okay, Do I.

524
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: Start with the most obscure one or one that I obscure?

525
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 5: No?

526
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 2: No, no, And with the most obscure one on the list,

527
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: I think that no one would would probably say it whatever,

528
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 2: So I am gonna start off with one that I

529
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: just really love and if you haven't let into it go.

530
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: The production on the album was amazing.

531
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: It starts off great, Free Black.

532
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god, all right.

533
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: That album okay starts the production on it, the.

534
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 2: Context of the songs like he Wasn't I love him

535
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: and Quinn Now I want him to go back being

536
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: sad over a bitch. That Free Black album was top

537
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: to bottom, top tier. It turned me into a fan.

538
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: And then he followed that up with East Atlanta Love Letter,

539
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: which that's just those two back to back. Oh my god,

540
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: I do think he's dropping another project. I think this year.

541
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: I'm really excited to hear where he took his sound.

542
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 2: But you couldn't tell me that Nigga wasn't gonna be like,

543
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: I'm mad he took so long. I'm so mad, but

544
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: I know that, you know, I don't know if it.

545
00:28:54,680 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: Was life happening. That was twenty six, okay, okay.

546
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah I found out.

547
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, like that's okay.

548
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, same same year.

549
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: I found out that Black had white fans.

550
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 4: No, no, no, we've been to show the show that

551
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 4: he did here for East Atlanta. Love Letter was the

552
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 4: first time I saw him performed. I hadn't seen him

553
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 4: perform before that tabernacle and I was in I was

554
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: on the balcony and I'm looking out in the crowd

555
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: and I'm like, there's a lot of like Justin's and

556
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 4: Ian's not just like Bradley's, and like theyre in there

557
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 4: with flip flops and ship, but they were losing their

558
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 4: minds and I didn't I thought Black was.

559
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: I didn't think he was.

560
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: I thought he was kind of niche, but I thought

561
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 4: that only we. I didn't know the world had caught

562
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 4: on to what was going on. Yeah, yeah, I love that.

563
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, Ship, but that is.

564
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: That is a no skip album.

565
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: And this, okay, this is the one, y'all judge me

566
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: if you want. I don't like how he's been talked

567
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: about in the news lately, but this was that album.

568
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:22,520

Speaker 2: of a lot of these.

578
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: I think you only had maybe two or three singles off.

579
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: I say, what was the single on that album?

580

594
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,920

595
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:44,840

00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,440

Speaker 2: Okay, you got too, and then I got my last

599
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: yeah yeah yeah yeah.

600
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 3: Okay, so Flo that was uh five and six, This

601
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: is seven and eight.

602
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is seven and seven.

603
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 4: And eight okay, so okay. So one album is a

604
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 4: newer album that probably I don't know if anybody in

605
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 4: here it tucked with it on that level, but to me,

606
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 4: this was like better than the album of his that

607
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: was probably way more popular than this. But Childish Gambino

608
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 4: Bando Stone in the New World, that album is I

609
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 4: don't think it had It probably had singles, but it

610
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 4: didn't have any singles that anyone cared about. And I

611
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 4: know it was supposed to be in conjunction with the

612
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 4: movie that was also weird that probably nobody cared about.

613
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 4: But that album is phenomenal. There's a song on there

614
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 4: he has with Luvic Gordonson, who is like the famous.

615
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 4: He scores movies, he scores centers, He works with Ryan Coogler.

616
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 4: He did Black Panther, a whole bunch of other shit,

617
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 4: and Thundercat called, uh, I don't even remember the name

618
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 4: of the song, but that's I played that shit a

619
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 4: million times.

620
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me find out the name of the song.

621
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: I'll probably play this song at my wedding.

622
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 4: It's that kind of called no Excuses is the name

623
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 4: of the song by Childish Gambino. It was nominated.

624
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: But did you did you see that?

625
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: He just came out and I hope it wasn't a

626
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: fake quote, but he apologized and said he'd never make

627
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: music again Childish Gambino.

628
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he apologized or for the.

629
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: Music he put out. I said he wouldn't do it

630
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: no more. He said he hates all the music he

631
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: put out.

632
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: Really that I swear.

633
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, people be making fake tweets. I

634
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: swear to god.

635
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 5: I yeah, I definitely missed that. If that was the case,

636
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 5: he was inspired or influenced by his.

637
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Redbone, that's one of the best songs ever created.

638
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 4: And that's why I said, it's probably like that album.

639
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 4: I thought that album was cool. It wasn't a bad

640
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 4: album at all, but this one just spoke to me

641
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 4: in a different kind of way. But clearly with Redbone

642
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 4: and I forget what was the other.

643
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: Song on that on that.

644
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: Oh okay, sorry, he didn't say sorry, but he did

645
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,959
Speaker 2: say that he is retiring the Childish Gambino stage name

646
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: because the process became unfulfilling and he no longer felt

647
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: the need to create in that manner as that person.

648
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: That person.

649
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I did hear that Childish Gambino. He was

650
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: just going to be Donald Glover and do.

651
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: His music right, he said that, And so in July

652
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four he indicated, uh, he stated that he

653
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: is not twenty five anymore and does not feel the

654
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 2: same compulsion to build that specific musical career.

655
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you know that was fantastic?

656
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: This is I know, we do that. This is America

657
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: a skit or segment. Yeah, rather oh he he hated

658
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: that song? Well it was.

659
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: It was actually a disc record for Drake.

660
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: I know, you know what that was so weird.

661
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: I mean he was he was on his bumfer from

662
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: way back before.

663
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, way before any of the others I don't like,

664
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 5: but you know what I think though, I think there's

665
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 5: a lot of behind the scenes ships that go down

666
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 5: that niggas like, man, I'm tired of this another fuck.

667
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: We don't know.

668
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: I'm trying to try to slit on my girl.

669
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 4: I think that's the majority of the reason why no

670
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 4: one came to Already's help is because there's a lot

671
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: of behind the scenes has nothing to do with what

672
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 4: people know about.

673
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: They just not like it just comes down musically. Yeah,

674
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 3: it comes out musically, whereas I'm not even choosing. But

675
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: I like, when you listen to this this.

676
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: Is America, don't catch you slipping on. I don't know

677
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: how that was a Drake dis honestly, I don't know.

678
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 4: I forget what this is America. Yeah, but he said,

679
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 4: but Drake said something from here bro, I forget what.

680
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 4: I forget the thing that Drake said that pissed him off.

681
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 4: But I think it was something that Drake said as

682
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 4: to what sparked that.

683
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I love that song too. I love that fine, but.

684
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: It's so funny when you listening that went over.

685
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 5: I would have never put that on Drake on Drake, Yeah,

686
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 5: that wouldn't have been talking about what's going on in

687
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 5: society and you know, the corruption whatever.

688
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah him, But then it's oh.

689
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, are did you do? Oh?

690
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 4: I got one more? That was one Okay, one more.

691
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 4: The other one will go with is t I trap music.

692
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not mad at that.

693
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 3: Top the Bottom.

694
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: Outcast GZ.

695
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: Tip was like he was, you know, people compared him

696
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 4: to a lot of people at that time, but it

697
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: was like they really were giving him this, Oh he's

698
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 4: like jay Z but from the South, and like at

699
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 4: that time, based off that album, it was kind of

700
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 4: hard to fight it because when you go back, I

701
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 4: listened to it like two weeks ago and I was like,

702
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 4: damn all, this ship holds up like this don't even

703
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 4: this is an't age poorly.

704
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: It's still sounds like t I.

705
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 4: It still represents things that would be relevant right now

706
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 4: in certain aspects of it.

707
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 3: Beyond just the trapping and the dope boy of it all.

708
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 4: There's certain songs on there where it's super introspective and

709
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 4: he's being honest and he's just really given like top

710
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 4: tier Southern lyricism.

711
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: So it's like I had to do that, all right?

712
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 2: Am I last two all right? Only because it so

713
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: one is a duh. I'm gonna start with the Miseducation

714
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: of Laura Hill for sure. For sure Top to Bottom

00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 2: I got to see her, uh perform the whole album.

716
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: In sound check for Essence.

717
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 3: This year the only place you performed, and I tell

718
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: you actually she was well.

719
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: The show was running late by the time she got

720
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: on stage, but I did get to see Oh my god,

721

Speaker 2: just incredible. What I love about the album too, is

722
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: like X Factor was something that I was able to

723
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: feel as an adult, even though it came out when

724
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 2: I was a child. Like the fact that those songs

725
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: still create such emotion. Uh, And I feel like I've

726
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 2: got to live different I got to feel differently through

727
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 2: the album as I've gone through.

728
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 6: Some of the things.

729
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 4: Her voice on that album is just it's just it's

730
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 4: just it's incredible. It's not Champa and fucking incense, and

731
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 4: it just that you just sit the fuck down and

732
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,120

Speaker 4: def Jam South Yes, when he was def Jam South

815
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,120

00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 3: As matter of fact, that was the last. I could

817

Speaker 3: be wrong about this.

818
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,600

819
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 4: mics in the Source before the Source started to play

820
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 4: themselves and it just got out of control. I don't

821
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 4: think there was an album after that that got five mics.

822
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 4: If you, if you're of a certain age, you even
