But 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.160 I think that like anytime I just wake I think 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:16.160 life is really cool. 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:16.800 Yeah. 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:17.880 I wake up every. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.320 Day and like I'll be in my house and I 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.639 see birds outside and may be chirping and ship. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.280 I'm like, this is some cool ship. 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.000 Like life in general, like everything is like symbiotic and 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.639 working together, and so I'm just grateful for life and animation. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:31.760 But that's a good way to think about things, that 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.560 life is really really cool.

I 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.200 want to ask to what you said earlier about like this, 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.480 how are you questioned? My people I know overseas say 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.680 that's like an American thing where we'll say how are you. 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.560 And just walk right past, like we don't really know 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:48.959 what they do. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.440 Overseas, they'd be like, hi, how are you. 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:55.040 Stop and be like, hey, I'm doingcast Americas be like 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.079 how are you? Just keep it moving, don't even care 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.560 how you do it. 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.160 Yeah, when I asked, y'all, hear how y'all doing? I 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.079 really care how you're doing. Oh, so use that I'm 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.000 stopping here, we're having conversations about you. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.000 Was asking so we could just contemplate with ourselves. 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.320 No, I didn't want to know because it'd be a 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.200 lot going on. I feel like people who are career 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.760 busy and very like career and and like you know, 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:23.120 pushing through the grind, be compartmentalized very easily. And that 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:24.760 is a good thing, but it can also be a 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.240 bad thing because eventually, like those compartments get full and 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.520 I mean, had I know you don't like to be 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.079 vulnerable and stuff, but it's. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.760 Not that I don't like to be vulnerable. I just 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.040 I just expressed myself differently than most people. 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:36.840 Okay, I'll take that. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.840 But I'm emotionally divergent, divergent. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.520 Please explain that, because that could have been how you 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.160 doing today, just like. 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.640 You know how people are neuro divergent, which I also 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.640 subscribe to. I think I'm emotionally divergent, meaning you're just 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:50.560 outside of the north. 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.200 Yeah, gotcha, Well, I mean inside or outside of the 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:55.480 The reason why I do it is just because I 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.640 feel like in my own personal life, I'm one to 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.960 be like, No, I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm cool. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.240 And then it gets to a point where it starts 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.320 to show and work that I'm not cool, And then 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:04.240 I got to take a step back. 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.480 I think we're scared of the bad answers though, I'm 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.720 just that, like, God, damn, I got to really console 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.960 you and for you, and now I'm not mad that 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.240 your mom died anything. But it's a lot to take 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.600 it when somebody just throws why even indulge. 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:19.680 To be nice? To be nice, but. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.400 It's not nice if it's disingenuous, if it's being if 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.159 you're being disingenuous, how is it nice. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.599 Yeah, I'm it's just a courtesy. 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.039 I don't think you got to be I think they'll 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.360 still take it as a as a gesture. 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.039 I don't think you necessarily have to. 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.760 I feel like, genuine like genuinely know how somebody is doing. 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.960 That's a little nosy, Like it's really dull. It's a 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.840 little nosy to ask how you're doing and expect a 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:43.800 deep dive answer. 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:44.320 Yeah. 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.520 Well I think it's a setting as well too, So 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.479 like here, like if I went like my friends and 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.520 wear a like. It depends on who I'm talking to them, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.479 where we are. Sometimes I do just say out of courtesy, 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.159 because it's like when you walk into a room you speak, 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.000 you have to speak like that type of thing. But 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.560 in other settings, if I ask, I really like, you know, 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.159 likew you doing, like how are you? 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.480 We just deep dive into the hell, let's get at 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:09.000 the topic. I just want to chime in. 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.600 There is this guy, a monk, Buddhist monk that he escaping, 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.080 moved in New York, you know. Yeah, his name is 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.280 Don Dapani, and he would say, he would say, don't 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.480 ask people how you doing, because you're asking to take 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.120 on that energy. Just send out good energy, like I 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.320 hope that well. So a lot of times you might 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:28.960 hear me say I hope all as well, or I'll 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.200 start an email off I hope all as well. If 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.960 it ain't, then ship I hope. But I ain't ask 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:34.880 you if it wasn't. I'm just correct. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.800 I start my email stuff like that because I was 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.240 just trained at work that that's how you do. 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.480 Yeah, but when somebody give you that energy, you asking 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.440 for a lot because you ain't even start your day 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.040 sometimes like, ah. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.360 Man, but you're feeling okay. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.080 Yeah, I'm feeling great. I do. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.640 I am beginning to think I may need to get 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.679 like evaluated. I think I might be on the spectrum 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.159 a little bit. I think I said something. I'm just 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.000 starting to think that way. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:57.400 I might be. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:01.720 Put it out there, but like. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.080 It is because some people be sensitive. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.320 So if I say I feel like I might be autistic, 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.600 then they might take that as like a like a 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.000 or if you know. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:11.960 I'm with you, bro, Yeah, I feel like I'm a 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.000 little spectomy for sure. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.520 What made y'all feel that way? 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.080 Because we're so different just because I'm neuro divergence is 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.760 not being the norm. I just think that I'm just 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.360 completely out the box. Most of time I come off 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.000 as insane, especially to women. 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.800 But Jesus, so it's so crazy. 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.760 Though, because I feel like you're like super comforting and 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.120 like like as a friend, you're like a really good friend. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.400 Yeah, can I can?

Obviously he was selling out before that, 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.200 but it really I don't think anybody could deny that 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.320 he wasn't going to Anybody could say he wasn't going 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.760 to do well after everything phenomenal Kendrick, after that phenomenal 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.440 year he had like away. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.600 He wasn't doing that, So you feel like without not 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.560 like us, he couldn't do this. 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:06.800 No, No, I think it would have been it would 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.680 have been a little smaller. But I think he was 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:12.320 always selling out, sellout artists though well, because. 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.400 I asked you that, because Dad has been the conversation. 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:15.679 The numbers are astronomical. 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.720 But when this news broke, the conversation was he needed 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.079 Drake to do this. And people always throw that out 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.520 there about Kendrick and the conversation right now. But in 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.360 twenty twenty three, the Big Steppers Tour became the highest 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.880 grossing raptor of all time. It was eclipsed the following 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.960 year by Drake. It's all a blurred tour, but it 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.440 did happen first. So I think that I don't know 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.000 why it is with Kendrick and him. I don't know. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.040 Maybe you a little closer to the source. People like that, 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.640 like Kendrick like this all just happened overnight for. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:45.520 Him because people it's two things. 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.520 The first thing is people are super fans of Drake, 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.240 like Drake raised them. So it's like it's like telling 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.520 them that Santa Claus ain't real. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.280 You can't tell me that you know. 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.679 What I'm saying, Like it's certain shit that you can't 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.080 say about certain people, for instance, even when even when 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.480 certain people are probably flawed just like everybody else, Like 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.560 you know what I mean, Like we have moguls that 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.240 are probably no longer heralded as what as what they 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.800 once were because you're around to find out that they're 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.559 just a human being like everybody else, you know what 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:15.000 I'm saying. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.800 And so, my, that's the first thing. 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.360 The second thing is he's always been discounted the whole 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.360 the whole time. But he's been discounted for lack of 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.560 a better way, just saying, oh, he's not a star 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.480 just because he doesn't indulge in the fruits of being 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.800 a star. Right, So, and I said this before on 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.520 the air, but I think like he has the same 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.000 problem that like Yo kich has, you know on the 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.960 Denver Nuggets, Like he just win a championship and don't 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:43.600 even give a fuck. 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.640 He don't care, He just don't. 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.439 So you have somebody who's completely indulgent in being a superstar, 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.280 and you have somebody who don't even give a fuck about. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.560 Being a superstar. Do you do you think Drake being 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.400 a Superstar Drake. 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:07.199 Drake cares about startlem is that a bad thing? Though 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.439 I don't would say it's a bad thing. Nothing is 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.600 bad and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's how 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:12.360 you go about it. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.359 Yeah, And you don't respect the way d goes about it. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.679 Why, It just depends on it depends on what facet like. 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:24.160 For instance, the way that the way that he uses 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.760 culture to manipulate I don't. 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.679 I don't. I disagree with that because the AI stuff 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.160 with like snooping. 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.840 It wouldn't even be the AI stuff I'm talking about. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.200 For instance, when you like, I'm not saying that there 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:40.760 aren't rough areas where He's from, but where where I'm from, 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.439 where God is from, you can't we call it false flagging. 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.840 You can't false flag. Like I don't never claim to 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.559 be a gamer. I'm not a gamer, but I'm considered 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:49.440 a non affiliate. So if I get on here and 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.320 start cousin and blood and stuff, I would get quote 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.600 unquote g checked when I get back home. But what 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.079 happens is when you don't get checked, you go without 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.200 checks and balance. Then you arrive at a place where 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.760 now you're the dictator of those checks and balances and 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:05.160 I E. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.240 Kanye West, you know what I'm saying. 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.199 So now it's like you're allowed to just be whoever 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.320 you want to be without any without any repercussions. And 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.719 I think that's kind of like what's going on. 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.559 Well, recently, Young Thugs sat down with GQ magazine and 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.560 they asked him about the whole Kendrick Lamar Drake thing. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.360 He's like, I don't know where this came from because 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.520 I'm like, I'm a Drake fan, Like, I don't understand 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.840 why Kendrick Lamar brought me into it. Yeah, I mean, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.640 I get what you're saying as far as culture, but 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.439 like when you got people like Young Thugs saying like, yeah, nah, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.640 but I don't subscribe to that, doesn't that that doesn't 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.280 help what you're saying, because no. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.199 But everybody has their own experience. Just like some people 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:44.000 would say, you know, they're probably individual. There might be 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.599 individuals that say Weinstein was a good man. You know 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.199 what I'm saying. I'm saying, Epstein got you. You know 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:52.960 what I'm saying. I think Kendrick's point was that he 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.600 was keeping these people around him for credibility exactly. 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.960 But I'm saying if Kendrick's point is you keeping all 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.199 these people around you for credibility and to be able 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.240 to like, you know what I mean, falsely throw this flag. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.079 But the people who are around you are like, I mean, 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.120 but that's my booy, that's my homie. It doesn't there's 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.559 no like, there's no checking, there's no big homies that 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.439 are like, no, this is not okay. Correct, Like if 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.160 young Thug I said, I'm a Drake Finn, but like 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:16.959 I get with Kendrick is saying, because like, nah, this 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.560 is our shit, that would have been different. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.360 He wouldn't say that because that's his homie though. But 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.960 also see that's what I'm saying, Like, where we're at 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.360 in the culture is the two things are conflated. You 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.280 have street, you have we called glasses called street. 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:30.280 Urban culture, and you have rap. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.280 Those two separate things that get conflated because hip hop 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.000 is looked at as this one umbrella. So where we're from, 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.040 it doesn't matter if you've done something. For instance, you 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.000 could take Lil Wayne. For instance, Little Wayne is from 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.679 New Orleans, Louisiana, right, but he's also quote unquote from 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.719 the mob Mob Poude. That's in quote unquote Encompton. Right, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.640 so if one of my o G hommies, I ain't 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.880 gonna say no names one of the hommies. And he's 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.480 like a reptable from that section, and he says, this 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.559 is my little homie Wayne. He from the section. That's 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.480 law meaning there's no questioning. You don't get to you don't. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.600 That's just what it is. It's my homie from and 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:07.439 now he from the section. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.960 You get what I'm saying. So I'm not saying that 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:10.280 that's what. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.000 Thug is doing, but it's just different things that are 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.160 not the same thing. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:15.360 One to one in hip hop. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.840 Got you well, I mean, it's coming on a year 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.600 this week that everything happened. I remember I was in 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.680 y'all remember where y'all were were not like us draw 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.760 It's crazy, but for real, I was in a party 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.960 for Single Day Mayo. It was Single Day Mayo, right. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.840 I was in party. I was drunk, I remember, and 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.720 then somebody came to me. I was in Delaware and 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.080 it was like Kendrid finally dropped because he was waiting 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.120 on it. Yeah, and then they played then like us. 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.360 I felt like Kendrick was trying to say, like when 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.000 he did the party the party died. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:44.600 Watch the party die. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.280 Watch the party die. It was like his music did 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.960 that without saying it right. It was like, I'm gonna 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.000 show y'all how to party differently. I'm gonna show you 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:53.880 how to embrace who you are as a black person. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.240 I feel like Drake's music, while it's good and it's 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:58.440 fancy and you can dance to. 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.400 It, I do feel like he he like he didn't. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:03.360 He didn't grow. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.960 Up the way that we or it doesn't feel like 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.080 he grew up the way that we did. But he 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.480 knew how to speak to it. And because he knew 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:11.960 how to speak to it, then he can make music 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:12.320 around it. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.160 And you get what I'm saying. 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.760 How y'all feel about? When Kendrick brought out play with Cardi, 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:18.640 people were upset about it. They said that like he 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.120 was basically exploiting artists for like the same thing that 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.800 he accuses Drake of doing. How ya feel about that? 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.560 It's a bunch of people who aren't part of the 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.400 music game, commenting on the music game. Like he was 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.120 in Atlanta, he brought out Playboy Cardi, who's from Atlanta, 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.760 and they have three songs. DoD gave him three features 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.480 on the album. Yeah, and they performed one of the 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.960 biggest records right now. So I don't understand people are 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:41.440 just silly. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.840 So do y'all feel like people are ever going to 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.480 get to a point where like this because you're not 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.600 like people beef and then we just like on the 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.400 won't even really talk about it. We're talking about this 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.240 as if like like I mean, it is history, but 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.240 you know what I mean, like we just remembered where 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.040 we were when songs dropped. You think that that feeling 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.200 will last like generational or like eventually, like. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.320 Yo, what feeling of this specific? 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.440 Like, yo, you remember where you were when not like 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:05.840 a dropped when the beef started. 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.960 I think it was definitely a moment in time hip 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.120 hop especially I definitely always. 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.480 Remember numbers why super Bowl? 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.760 But then the only comparison that I can have that 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.600 I remember and I was young was jay Z and 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.640 Nas and I felt like that for a long time, 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:26.440 and they became friends on top of that, like damn Drake, 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.040 and then after they became friends, look how long it 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.960 took for people to actually like, all right, like okay, 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:32.880 they're friends, Like. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:33.440 It's not a game. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.360 I don't think Drake and Kendrick ever becoming friends. 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.200 And I think in the moment of that is. 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.280
