Speaker 1: As media.
Speaker 2: Okay, I know I made a big stink last episode
Speaker 2: about how the memification of it all means I can't
Speaker 2: take it serious. You really called that boy bbl drake
Speaker 2: though the memes are still funny. Though, Oh man, hood politics, y'all.
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's probably the fastest intro we've ever had,
Speaker 2: because I need to get.
Speaker 3: Right to it.
Speaker 2: Part three Lessons from the Big Three, which is also
Speaker 2: you wasn't outside episode. So much going on and so
Speaker 2: many lessons to take from this moment culture, in the
Speaker 2: world and in politics. That again, our foundational premise is
Speaker 2: that if you understand in a cityhood living, you understand politics,
Speaker 2: and part of that is keeping up with the tea
Speaker 2: and hip hop. And as I get into this particular comparison,
Speaker 2: before we go too far into it, please understand that
Speaker 2: a foundational premise for battling is that, Okay, these are
Speaker 2: two grown men writing poems about each other, and it
Speaker 2: was for the purpose of keeping away from violence, right
Speaker 2: and of course, oftentimes because hip hop comes from a
Speaker 2: street culture, you know, there's violence sometimes gets involved. But
Speaker 2: whether it was I mean, I'm talking like you know,
Speaker 2: early seventies the Bronx, like the sound clashes, you know,
Speaker 2: breakdancing battles. It was really so that the violence would
Speaker 2: get taken out of our streets. Right, So even me
Speaker 2: talking about this comparison with the big like this is
Speaker 2: just rap.
Speaker 1: Okay, these are millionaires.
Speaker 2: With stuff that don't really matter, you know, like it
Speaker 2: don't really this doesn't matter. So please understand that I
Speaker 2: am not putting on the same playing field these silly
Speaker 2: little poems that these grown men are writing to each
Speaker 2: other at the same level as a forced famine and
Speaker 2: genocide where millions of people are being starved to death
Speaker 2: or bombed to death.
Speaker 1: They are not the same.
Speaker 2: What we are talking about is understanding what's going on.
Speaker 2: So that's the first caveat and the only caveat. And
Speaker 2: now this week's episodes we'll see it's like.
Speaker 4: This, Bullduk is like this, Bullduk is like this, Bullduk
Speaker 4: is like bull is like this.
Speaker 2: All right, Obviously we're dropping this in much later than
Speaker 2: when we recorded this episode because clearly this is the
Speaker 2: discussions over.
Speaker 1: You know, nobody could have predicted.
Speaker 2: A minor so we've moved on to other things currently,
Speaker 2: and the current things we moved on to could potentially
Speaker 2: be called a genocide sandwich because there were some things
Speaker 2: that were funny, and then there was some other stuff
Speaker 2: going on right now that's not funny. The funny stuff
Speaker 2: is the City of Minnesota understanding the Internet well enough
Speaker 2: to hear Charles Barkley say he ain't he ain't home,
Speaker 2: remember last time He've been to Minneapolis, and then the
Speaker 2: young shooter from Minneapolis saying, bring you ass, Minneapolis. The
Speaker 2: City of Minneapolis quickly bought the domain and changed their
Speaker 2: tourism at website address to bring yass dot com. Absolutely
Speaker 2: brilliant and rest in peace to NBA on TNT as
Speaker 2: that NBC has purchased it. I haven't felt like this
Speaker 2: since ye inside stuff he did next is justice Alita,
Speaker 2: who I can't explain how out of bounds this situation
Speaker 2: is and also how much of a real one. He
Speaker 2: presented himself as what do I mean by this? He
Speaker 2: been in a feud with his neighbor. Well, according to him,
Speaker 2: his wife has been in a feud with his neighbor,
Speaker 2: and patrol his neighbor. He put up a Maga flag
Speaker 2: at his house, which again was supposed to be a troll. However, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: it was a pro January sixth flag like, which is
Speaker 2: basically American flag upside down, So like that's the symbol
Speaker 2: he was pulling off at his house, to which he said,
Speaker 2: wait before I even get to what he said. Also,
Speaker 2: there was another one that's this pine tree, which is
Speaker 2: this symbol for this crew called Appeal to Heaven super
Speaker 2: you know, Christian dominionist nationalist thing that's like, look, we
Speaker 2: need to make America Christian fully government everything. So he
Speaker 2: had both those flags on his house and in the
Speaker 2: most real way, the most real one, fashion Homie blamed
Speaker 2: his wife.
Speaker 1: He say, look, she hung it up. I don't look
Speaker 1: that's on her.
Speaker 2: Listen, if a man, if you ask a man out,
Speaker 2: you ask a man to do something and he's like,
Speaker 2: should be cool. Just let me check with my wife
Speaker 2: and then I'll let you know he not coming. He
Speaker 2: just throwing her under the busy. Let me tell you something, husband,
Speaker 2: do this all the time. We be throwing our wives
Speaker 2: under the bus all the time, like, ah, yeah, nah,
Speaker 2: I've been out a few weeks, Like I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't think she's gonna go for it, you know,
Speaker 2: daddy duty, homie. We just be throwing her rather than
Speaker 2: just saying no, oh, let me check with my wife, bro,
Speaker 2: I'll hit you right back. He not coming, he just
Speaker 2: using her as an excuse. Now on to the ultimate
Speaker 2: horribleness you got Israel dropping a big old air quotes
Speaker 2: target did bomb on a tent city in Rafa, saying
Speaker 2: that hitting that ten city was a horrible and tragic mistake.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, just like hitting that World Food Bank
Speaker 2: truck was a horrible and tragic mistake. Bodies burnt, kids decapitated.
Speaker 2: You talking about my bad bruh. Either your target system
Speaker 2: is terrible or actually spot on, like maybe this is
Speaker 2: what y'all meant to do. I just I don't I
Speaker 2: don't know how y'all live with y'allself With this one
Speaker 2: and other news looks like Ireland, Norway, and Spain are
Speaker 2: joining a lot of the other nations of the world
Speaker 2: of finally putting some respect on Palestine's name and actually
Speaker 2: acknowledging them as a country. Now, remember a lot of
Speaker 2: times I talked about like normalizing relations and the way
Speaker 2: for which we, you know, function with Taiwan and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. That's what's happening right now, very similar to
Speaker 2: that to where we're saying, I'm gonna I am going
Speaker 2: to if you say your nation, I'm gonna respect you
Speaker 2: as that.
Speaker 1: Now in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: Right now, this is somewhat symbolic because it's not like
Speaker 2: you only become a nation because other nations acknowledge you
Speaker 2: as one. But on the other hand, if other nations
Speaker 2: don't acknowledge you as a nation, then what does your
Speaker 2: national status mean anyway? So it's kind of got to
Speaker 2: go together. That makes sense, right. You could refer to
Speaker 2: yourself as whatever you want. Doctor Dre ain't actually a doctor,
Speaker 2: right but we call him doctor Dre, but we don't
Speaker 2: ign don't nobody want him to work on your back
Speaker 2: if you got to back issues?
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying. Maybe he did go get
Speaker 1: his PhD. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just know we call him doctor. But just because
Speaker 2: we call him doctor, don't make him a doctor. You
Speaker 2: understand I'm talking about. So on the other hand, you
Speaker 2: could be an actual MD and nobody is willing to
Speaker 2: come with you or to have work done on you.
Speaker 2: So maybe you got the paperwork, But what difference does
Speaker 2: it make if don't nobody respect you as one?
Speaker 1: You need both.
Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm trying to say, we're looking
Speaker 2: forward to finally, we're looking forward to the conclusion of
Speaker 2: one of Trump's trials. I can't believe I still got
Speaker 2: to talk about it. Anyway, let's get back to BBL Trissy.
Speaker 1: The background.
Speaker 2: If you don't already know, I'm gonna try to whizz
Speaker 2: through it is since this is part three the ongoing
Speaker 2: rivalry between Kendrick and Drake, and then somehow j Cole
Speaker 2: got put into this because j Cole presented himself as
Speaker 2: the Big Three, right, and these are the three top
Speaker 2: you know artists in hip hop, right, which is Big
Speaker 2: shawn E. Raser and also Future Eraser and really in
Speaker 2: this the story is future, right. So these are just
Speaker 2: this versus where you know, one rapper talks about another rapper,
Speaker 2: And if you've been following the culture, this dissing back
Speaker 2: and forth with each other has been going on for
Speaker 2: at least a decade, right, This particular round is so
Speaker 2: important because.
Speaker 1: It's so mask off.
Speaker 2: What it has seemed to have done was spark an
Speaker 2: entire regional war because so many people have jumped in.
Speaker 2: There's bars that apparently asap Rocky was talking to Drake
Speaker 2: about There's and all of this is out of Future's
Speaker 2: album Future metro Bloomen did an album together first and
Speaker 2: lead single Kendrick comes for Cole and Drake's neck. And
Speaker 2: the thing about Cole and Drake is like that's been
Speaker 2: are not Drake and Kendrick is that's been an ongoing
Speaker 2: thing very much like I said before Michael Jackson and
Speaker 2: Prince right, which, like we said at EPISOD so two
Speaker 2: of this is like, this is where it's kind of
Speaker 2: gets silly, because this is like.
Speaker 1: Like art of rap versus business of rap.
Speaker 2: This is pop versus indie, So it's already apples and oranges, right,
Speaker 2: So like, but the thing about the pop guy, Drake
Speaker 2: is the boy can really rap, right, And then the
Speaker 2: thing about the indie dude, which is Kendrick, he can
Speaker 2: also make a hit two right. So anyway, and like
Speaker 2: we said in episode two, the key to taking Drake
Speaker 2: apart is you go for the one thing he desires,
Speaker 2: which is credibility with the culture. I put culture in
Speaker 2: big old air quotes because I am talking about this
Speaker 2: unidentifiable but very recognizable thing that we call blackness, Black
Speaker 2: American culture. This this cool, this this thing that has
Speaker 2: always How do I say this the source material for
Speaker 2: what becomes pop. It still irritates me when people talk
Speaker 2: about gen z slang and I'm like, no, that's black
Speaker 2: young black slang. It's because again, black people are the
Speaker 2: source material. I mean quote me, black youth are the
Speaker 2: source material.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: There is a bigger which I'm pretty sure we covered.
Speaker 2: I don't remember because I'm actually recording this out of order.
Speaker 2: This is episode three. I'm gonna record episode two after this.
Speaker 2: I just know what I'm gonna talk about in episode two.
Speaker 2: It's the paradox of the light skin, which I giggle
Speaker 2: because it's like, it's it's really unfair to say this,
Speaker 2: but because I am, in fact not and there's a
Speaker 2: way to overcome it.
Speaker 1: You take somebody like Steph Curry.
Speaker 2: Again, he light skinned, but he don't be doing a
Speaker 2: lot of the corny, weird I need to be accepted stuff.
Speaker 2: I think partially because both his parents are black, they
Speaker 2: just happen to be fair skinned. But you take somebody
Speaker 2: like a Drake who's got a white mother. The idea
Speaker 2: of you're not black enough for the black people, and
Speaker 2: you definitely ain't white enough for white people. There always
Speaker 2: has been a need at least in America to be
Speaker 2: socially accepted in one of these cultures.
Speaker 1: Right, Obviously these are flagrant.
Speaker 2: Generalizations that doesn't apply to everyone. Obviously, you please know
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. So like, respect, do respect on
Speaker 2: the names of all my little fair skinned friends little
Speaker 2: I don't mean little, but all all the fair skinned
Speaker 2: family out there. Respect do on that, like, trust me,
Speaker 2: you know that's not what I'm saying. And y'all know
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. When I'm talking about what I'm
Speaker 2: talking about, you know you know them, dude, because either way,
Speaker 2: both of these worlds can see you as pretending.
Speaker 1: It's a difficult thing in reality.
Speaker 2: In sociocultural reality, it is a difficult thing, you know.
Speaker 2: And obviously I speak from a perspective as a rather
Speaker 2: dark skinned man that sees the idea that like, well,
Speaker 2: y'all get to be pretty like everybody likes y'all curly hair,
Speaker 2: you get to be fair skin in that dark anti
Speaker 2: black is an international thing. So it's hard for me
Speaker 2: to see outside of my own lenses except for looking
Speaker 2: at what's going on. So when you look at somebody
Speaker 2: like Drake, who has always been accepted as attractive, you know,
Speaker 2: you may think he's funny looking now, or may be
Speaker 2: thy funny looking during the Degrassi things, but that life
Speaker 2: skin you know, calmly, you know, that's how you land
Speaker 2: shows like Degrassi. You feel me, but you get to
Speaker 2: pretend to be black because you are black, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like, at the end of the day, you are black.
Speaker 1: But that's because I.
Speaker 2: Understand social constructs, which is ultimately what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Either way, it is very clear to anyone when someone
Speaker 2: is trying too hard that no matter how many accolades
Speaker 2: a person gets right, no matter how many awards, you
Speaker 2: could be the I think I may have said this,
Speaker 2: I know I'm going to say it on the episode
Speaker 2: before this, but I'm reiterated right now just to catch
Speaker 2: all up. You could be the prom king captive of
Speaker 2: the football team, captive of the basketball team. You could
Speaker 2: have already slayed every cheerleader, You've bagged everyone there, but
Speaker 2: all you want is to be able to hang out
Speaker 2: behind the bungalows and smoke weed with the homies.
Speaker 1: But them niggas think you corny.
Speaker 2: So no matter how many accolades you get, it's never
Speaker 2: enough because you just want to be accepted with the homies.
Speaker 2: So flash, your little flash, your little prom can't like them.
Speaker 1: Niggas didn't go to prom because they don't care.
Speaker 2: Does that make sense. They're not trying to be accepted
Speaker 2: by that. They're not trying to be cool.
Speaker 1: They just are.
Speaker 2: And it's clear when somebody is so that so, so
Speaker 2: you take somebody like Drake again, this is all just
Speaker 2: for comparison where and this is how you this is
Speaker 2: how you take this guy down in his battle. That's
Speaker 2: why who I'm going to talk about now, which is
Speaker 2: who I'm gonna talk about in this show, which is
Speaker 2: Ricky Ross, is that this is the worst kept secret.
Speaker 2: This is what everyone in the industry knows. You just
Speaker 2: want to be one of us, and one of us
Speaker 2: is in Like he says in his little trolling thing,
Speaker 2: you just wanted to be outside with the you know,
Speaker 2: with the niggas washing their chevies. You feel me, You
Speaker 2: know you wanted to hit them conas in them lo los.
Speaker 2: But nigga, you a pretty boy, stay on the porch
Speaker 2: like you really not want Like, we'll let you kick it,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Well, like we'll hit a
Speaker 2: lick with you because clearly you know how to make money.
Speaker 2: But nigga like you not you corny like and it's
Speaker 2: almost like and it's okay, now please hear me.
Speaker 1: Drake's an international star. So the corn What difference does
Speaker 1: it make? What anybody thinks?
Speaker 2: Okay, so remember that and and and the difference between
Speaker 2: him and Cole.
Speaker 1: Cole has accepted it.
Speaker 2: Cole is like, I'm a square, Like he says on
Speaker 2: his on the song with Future, He's like, I was
Speaker 2: a college nigga that just wanted to smash your girl.
Speaker 2: He was like, I gotta I wasn't really outside. I
Speaker 2: just liked how it smelled. I used to like catch
Speaker 2: it with like I kick it with y'all, but like
Speaker 2: I don't really I'm not here when they shoot. It's
Speaker 2: the boys in the hood thing when we talk about
Speaker 2: when Doe Boy was ready to shoot eventually when it
Speaker 2: was time to go Cuba Good and Junior got out
Speaker 2: the car.
Speaker 1: You not really built for this. And that's okay.
Speaker 2: And that's what Cole is saying, which means that a
Speaker 2: lot of his I got shooters raps are done. But
Speaker 2: he just he admitted it, like I'm not It's not
Speaker 2: what I am. So maybe Drake has friends, like, don't
Speaker 2: get me wrong, Like just again, I'm talking about this
Speaker 2: particular melee that we're in where And in his response,
Speaker 2: he was like, oh, it's twenty to one now, y'all
Speaker 2: all everybody coming at me. It's almost like Drake was
Speaker 2: just tolerated. He was necessary because he's a hit maker.
Speaker 2: And it may have felt like because apparently Future said
Speaker 2: the same thing. He was like, I don't really like
Speaker 2: the dude. It's just the music was so good that
Speaker 2: we made. But I don't really laying a lot of
Speaker 2: these stars really do come from from the blows, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Right, So when Drake say stuff
Speaker 2: like started from the bottom now here, nigga, you didn't
Speaker 2: you were on a TV as you doesn't start from
Speaker 2: the bottom.
Speaker 1: But the songs, it's.
Speaker 2: A great song, like you can't like. That's the thing
Speaker 2: about him. He these are catchy ass songs. If you're
Speaker 2: a rappers necessary, He's the biggest artist, Like, it's necessary
Speaker 2: you gotta do music with him, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: So he could always say I gave you your first hit,
Speaker 2: I gave you your last hit.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but.
Speaker 2: That don't mean we like you. That doesn't mean you're accepted.
Speaker 2: But for him, again, I don't remember. I don't know
Speaker 2: these people.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I'm just using this as an example as we're watching
Speaker 2: this to help us understand what's happening.
Speaker 1: It is real.
Speaker 2: So that doesn't mean we like you just because we
Speaker 2: work with you. Okay, We've never liked you. Now, just
Speaker 2: because I'm laughing at the way Rose jumped in into
Speaker 2: a fight that wasn't even he is but Ricky rick
Speaker 2: Ross is so funny the BBL Drake, right, just because
Speaker 2: I'm laughing at this, and just because I actually do
Speaker 2: find a little joy in you shooting at Drake, that
Speaker 2: don't mean we mess.
Speaker 1: With you either. Just you're you're not a hero either.
Speaker 2: You had your own thing that you needed to take
Speaker 2: care of, and it's doub to watch you take care
Speaker 2: of it. Not necessarily a hero. Let's talk about it, Ron,
Speaker 2: did you know That's where I was going.
Speaker 3: Let's take a break, all right, we're back.
Speaker 2: So Iran okay, has entered the chat. But to understand
Speaker 2: really what I mean by Iran has entered the chat,
Speaker 2: you have to know that Iran was always in the chat, okay,
Speaker 2: And that's whether you wasn't outside piece starts really coming
Speaker 2: together in mob life gang life, you know, but I'm
Speaker 2: gonna say specifically sort of gang stuff because that's what
Speaker 2: I know a little more. Maybe not as intimately as
Speaker 2: others do, but I know much well that I know
Speaker 2: mob life.
Speaker 1: A lot of times there's like starter gangs.
Speaker 2: You feel me, Like if you hear rappers say like
Speaker 2: I'll get my young shooters to do this, Like there's
Speaker 2: so there's the main set, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: That's like, that's where are like the Ulg's, the big homies, Like,
Speaker 2: that's where they exist, and what they do is a
Speaker 2: lot of times they franchise out right.
Speaker 1: So you have smaller versions that are.
Speaker 2: Like Beg's, and there's different types playboy gangsters, his neighborhood.
Speaker 2: Like there's just all these different diferent types of strategy.
Speaker 2: So it's like for the sixth and seventh and like
Speaker 2: the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders, you're in the
Speaker 2: starter gangs, you know what I'm saying. So the y'all
Speaker 2: junior high kids, y'all earning y'all stripes, and a lot
Speaker 2: of times they be the most violent because they trying
Speaker 2: to like they earning their key, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So sometimes those little those other little like sets.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So you got the gang
Speaker 1: and you got the set, you know what I'm saying, in.
Speaker 2: The set be smaller versions of this stuff, and that
Speaker 2: means that there's a shot caller somewhere that's in the
Speaker 2: bigger gang, right the ulgis And a lot of times
Speaker 2: the stuff that the little starter sets be doing really
Speaker 2: be proxies for what's going on with the main set,
Speaker 2: because the main set is for some reason would rather
Speaker 2: have the young shooters do it because maybe somebody's facing
Speaker 2: too many felonies, maybe, like there's a lot of different
Speaker 2: reasons why they do that stuff. Now, Now to me,
Speaker 2: this is where it's like, Okay, this is one of
Speaker 2: my knowledge is because I'm not in the big gang,
Speaker 2: but I know that they be doing stuff like that
Speaker 2: when I'm like, yo, it's really them that's setting up this.
Speaker 2: But since I'm not on the hood, I can't really
Speaker 2: know that knowledge. But I do know that's the little
Speaker 2: wyji of not the rapper YG, but the young gangster.
Speaker 2: That's the little homie of this dude. So really the
Speaker 2: stuff that's going on in the neighborhood is really about that.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So now that being said, as I'm pretty sure you know,
Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas are locked into a hot war where
Speaker 2: the rest of the world is, well, most of the
Speaker 2: world except for a lot of the West, is looking
Speaker 2: at Israel like, okay, guys, like we was with you.
Speaker 2: Y'all a right to defend yourself, but you're kind of
Speaker 2: like you've gone way past defend yourself. Israel is like,
Speaker 2: y'all don't understand. We gonna do what we gotta do.
Speaker 1: It's destruction. This is all review. You should know this.
Speaker 2: The death toll between Israel and the Palestinians, it's not
Speaker 2: even close. Israel has gone up and beyond in the
Speaker 2: carnage to the point of where, you know, the International
Speaker 2: Justice Court, to the point to where people that were like, look,
Speaker 2: we was on your side for a while, but like
Speaker 2: god damn right, you are bugging So that so that's happening.
Speaker 2: And then what hits the American news is a drone
Speaker 2: strike from Iran that hit Israeli soil. But the drone strike,
Speaker 2: my dog, Iran came in a hot homie. They talking
Speaker 2: about three hundos three hundred drones, cruise missiles and from
Speaker 2: every angle, Yeah, they're the homies from a rock shooting.
Speaker 2: They had the homies, the hoo Thi's out of Yemen.
Speaker 2: They were shooting. Everybody was shooting. Like I said, you
Speaker 2: bring your little homies when you're trying to do the things.
Speaker 2: So they was all shooting at it, and Israel's iron dome,
Speaker 2: nigga worn't They shot down over ninety percent of him
Speaker 2: cruised like it was literally just a little bit of
Speaker 2: property damage and a couple folks that went to the
Speaker 2: hospital and some traumatized folk. They unloaded the full clip. America, Britain, France,
Speaker 2: everybody helped the defense of Israel.
Speaker 1: Israel's outraged.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you guys to do that. In American
Speaker 2: media is like, this is an unprecedented attack. And maybe
Speaker 2: it's unprecedented, but not the way that they mean. So
Speaker 2: let's get it. Let's get into the juice. Remember how
Speaker 2: I said, Drake is like a necessary thing, but all
Speaker 2: he really wants to do is be accepted, and he
Speaker 2: will set flames to everything. He will battle everybody if
Speaker 2: he can't just get what he wants. Like as many
Speaker 2: accolades as I have, y'all still won't accept me as
Speaker 2: one of y'all. That's Israel in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: We are a nation. We deserve to be here.
Speaker 2: We are from here, or we got scattered in you know,
Speaker 2: five point fifty BC. We're finally back, and why won't
Speaker 2: y'all accept us? And the Middle East is like, cause
Speaker 2: you're not us. You just came in here acting weird,
Speaker 2: like y'all. There's a phrase like y'all left brown and
Speaker 2: came back white, like y'all you're not. And the way
Speaker 2: y'all came you came in fraudulent. You came in like
Speaker 2: just boguarding your way.
Speaker 1: And if we.
Speaker 2: Supposed to be, if we supposed to be the same people,
Speaker 2: then why are you treating us this way? Look how
Speaker 2: you're treating the Palestinians, our brothers and sisters like no, nigga,
Speaker 2: you're not one of us. And they're like, whatever we
Speaker 2: got America, whatever we like, we'll bring.
Speaker 1: On the heat. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: They fought Egypt, they fought then when everybody attacked them
Speaker 2: in the sixties, it's like we fought them off. So again,
Speaker 2: no matter how many accolades you got All you really
Speaker 2: want to do is be accepted.
Speaker 1: All you're saying is I have the right to be here.
Speaker 2: Like can we be anywhere? I have the right to
Speaker 2: be here, and y'all ain't no better than me and
Speaker 2: the region the hood is like, well, sure you have
Speaker 2: a right to be alive, but you ain't got You
Speaker 2: ain't got the right to take the lives of the
Speaker 2: people that was all there, that's all those like you
Speaker 2: can't just be doing that. So in the way that
Speaker 2: Drake wants to be accepted is we're wanting to be accepted.
Speaker 2: Just accept us as one of y'all. Only we're better
Speaker 2: than you guys. Again the light skin cart but I'm
Speaker 2: pretty though again I'm just obviously the same for every
Speaker 2: light skinned person.
Speaker 1: Understand I'm just trying to.
Speaker 2: Explain a particular type of identity crisis that as somebody
Speaker 2: who is staunchly in the black community can see. You know,
Speaker 2: it's it's you can see it the turmoil, Like I'm
Speaker 2: picturing people I grew up with at this moment, that
Speaker 2: that thing to where you just feel like an outsider
Speaker 2: no matter where you are. It's a sucky feeling, like
Speaker 2: I don't get me wrong, it's a sucky feeling. I'm
Speaker 2: being funny about it out of jealousy, the type of
Speaker 2: jealousy that I've worked through already. If you know my music,
Speaker 2: there's a song called Darkie where I talked about the
Speaker 2: type of self hate sometimes that us as dark skin
Speaker 2: black people in America could carry. The lyrics song starts
Speaker 2: with used to wish I was Puerto Rican because that
Speaker 2: type of black was different, Like I knew I wanted
Speaker 2: to be black, but they had curly hair and accents,
Speaker 2: and you know, they was a little lighter, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So I was like, man, I wish
Speaker 2: I had that because all the girls like that. Anyway,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of self internalized hating that that's been
Speaker 2: worked through at this point. But back to what we're saying,
Speaker 2: the reality is in the region, there are people that
Speaker 2: are either indifferent to Israel or see them as like
Speaker 2: you have to play with them, they're necessary, or they're like,
Speaker 2: we just don't like y'all, like as a nation. Obviously
Speaker 2: they're not talking about Jews per se, maybe some of
Speaker 2: them are. They're saying, as a nation, you're not this
Speaker 2: is fraudulent, like what and the way you're treating our
Speaker 2: Palestinian brothers and sisters is fraudulent. Like the fact that
Speaker 2: you sided with the greatest evil, which was the Western
Speaker 2: countries of America.
Speaker 1: It's like you sold out. You like that.
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying again, I'm trying to give you
Speaker 2: your perspective. You sold out. So when you looking at again,
Speaker 2: use our understanding. Kendrick looking at Drake, Like Nigga, it's ghostwriters.
Speaker 2: You you pretend like at one point we thought you
Speaker 2: were Dominican.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like now you.
Speaker 2: Know you was doing all the racket thrown stuff, like Nigga,
Speaker 2: you not dominic then you then sometimes you you you
Speaker 2: know you Ireland, then you Jamaica. You know control, It's like, Nigga,
Speaker 2: what are you? You know you out here rep in
Speaker 2: Houston and it's like, Nigga, no, you're from Toronto.
Speaker 1: And then it's who doesn't know how lame it is?
Speaker 2: You didn't go to Youth University of Kentucky, You don't
Speaker 2: live in Kentucky, you didn't play college sports. Why are
Speaker 2: you in the warm up lines for the NCAA Final Four?
Speaker 2: Like this is corny? So uh, it's just so frustrating,
Speaker 2: And the problem is, even as corny as it is,
Speaker 2: he never loses, Drake, don't lose. So again, if you're
Speaker 2: all the Middle Eastern countries, you're like, no matter what,
Speaker 2: Israel don't lose.
Speaker 1: They never lose, now, even when they're committing.
Speaker 2: A genocide in front of everybody's face because of what
Speaker 2: they went through through the Holocaust, which is just which
Speaker 2: is verifiably at top three worse things to hit humanity.
Speaker 2: Nobody arguing that. Ain't nobody defending Hamas. But if you
Speaker 2: haven't been in a relationship, just because you was traumatized
Speaker 2: as a child, don't mean you get to traumatize your children.
Speaker 1: You with me, now, enter back to the battle.
Speaker 2: Enter. All of the sudden, it seemed like Rick Ross
Speaker 2: had something to say.
Speaker 1: Drake addressed it right.
Speaker 2: He addressed it in his response where he's just like, bro,
Speaker 2: I handed you your hits, and don't worry about me, brother,
Speaker 2: worry about your stuff with Diddy WHOA which is a
Speaker 2: bar okay, because also, well I'm kind of getting ahead
Speaker 2: of myself. But you got to follow the story here
Speaker 2: because you'll understand the comparison as I get it.
Speaker 1: To what I'm mean ain't by iran.
Speaker 2: I mean, like Ross ain't a good guy in this.
Speaker 2: You could still call him Sergeant Ricky because that's a persona.
Speaker 2: He was a he worked at a jail and the
Speaker 2: persona that he is, he was always a great rapper.
Speaker 2: He's a ghostwriting forever. But that persona was a dude
Speaker 2: that was in jail that he kind of just used
Speaker 2: his persona to be the boss Rick Ross. You know
Speaker 2: that's a created that persona based on a person but he.
Speaker 1: Was a security guard to jail. Nigga, you're a cop.
Speaker 1: So there's that.
Speaker 2: And he still hasn't gotten back from Gully actually talked
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 2: Uh so of this all this this all hip hop stuff.
Speaker 2: Gully was like, ain't you the nigga that said put
Speaker 2: a Molly in her drink and she ain't even know it. Nigga,
Speaker 2: we raping girls now? He says, bitches because you know
Speaker 2: he's like we we rap.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh.
Speaker 2: No, no matter what, no amount of money can unlame Lane,
Speaker 2: my nigga, Like yo, that's super lame.
Speaker 1: Like you don't brag about like fam that's date rape.
Speaker 2: You saying this as a bar homie, Like no, you're
Speaker 2: not a hero.
Speaker 1: Was he jumping in this to defend Cole and Kendrick.
Speaker 2: No, he was doing this because he got a problem
Speaker 2: with Drake, but again, so does everybody. It's like doing this, listen,
Speaker 2: it's like doing a song with Kanye, like you're gonna
Speaker 2: get a hit out of it, Like I just you don't.
Speaker 1: You know, he got friends obviously, but.
Speaker 2: Like listen, if you these are pop parties, you gotta
Speaker 2: do the song until that relationship becomes untenable. I know
Speaker 2: dudes right now that were like are hit makers that
Speaker 2: I got homies who like you know, who landed hits
Speaker 2: with like Beaver. And he was like, I this the
Speaker 2: Kanye think it's an unworkable environment, Like I can't. It's
Speaker 2: like it's like the juice isn't worth the squeeze, you know,
Speaker 2: like you just at some point the relations sit becomes untenable.
Speaker 2: And he was like, yeah, nah, I look, I actually
Speaker 2: really ain't like him. It's just you gotta do it.
Speaker 2: And that's what seems to be happening right now in
Speaker 2: this it is moment.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I know I'm going back and forth between Israel and
Speaker 2: this thing, but it's because I need you to see
Speaker 2: the parallels here. It's actually like it'll help you understand,
Speaker 2: trust me. So Ricky Rose jumps in. Ricky is hilarious
Speaker 2: shooting his things. Now, we started off with all of
Speaker 2: the sudden Iran bombs Israel. Well that's not all of
Speaker 2: the sudden, just like Rose is, that's not all of
Speaker 2: the sudden.
Speaker 1: It's been stuff brewing here for a while.
Speaker 2: Israel actually popped Iran's consolate in Damascus in Syria. That
Speaker 2: was thirty days ago. This was a retaliation to that.
Speaker 2: So don't act like this is when you say this
Speaker 2: unprecedented response, it's like it's not unprecedented in the sense
Speaker 2: that it's like, I can't believe you guys just did that. Ever,
Speaker 2: it wasn't out of nowhere. Iran feels like we caught
Speaker 2: a stray. What are you shooting at us? For y'all
Speaker 2: are in war over there, you a remarkably unjust war.
Speaker 2: And we don't like y'all anyway. We've never liked y'all.
Speaker 2: And you know we ain't never liked y'all. I know
Speaker 2: right now it's between you and Hamas, but we don't
Speaker 2: mess it. And you have the nerve not only to
Speaker 2: bomb my guy, not only to bomb our consolate, but
Speaker 2: our consulate in a whole other country.
Speaker 1: That's bold.
Speaker 2: You didn't even pop me in my hood. You popped
Speaker 2: in a hood that I'm good at. That's a violation.
Speaker 2: You don't get to just how am I catching these strays?
Speaker 2: That's crazy. So that's why when they clapped back, they
Speaker 2: were like, we consider this a done issue. That's why
Speaker 2: Iran said that we consider this done. Don't bring me
Speaker 2: into this. Don't bring me into this, to which Israel responds,
Speaker 2: I can't bring you into something you already in.
Speaker 1: What is you saying? You think we stupid? What I
Speaker 1: mean by that?
Speaker 3: Next time?
Speaker 2: All right, you have to ask yourself why out of nowhere?
Speaker 2: Because it's seemingly out of nowhere, Why would Israel take
Speaker 2: shots at Iran? Why would Drake out of nowhere take
Speaker 2: shots at Ricky Ross?
Speaker 1: Why would Ricky.
Speaker 2: Jump into a battle that wasn't even he is It's
Speaker 2: because there's things going on here, and these things are this.
Speaker 2: The reality is Iran been involved, and how Iran has
Speaker 2: been involved is for decades, Iran been to people that
Speaker 2: have funded Hezblah. They're the people that are arming Hesbelah.
Speaker 2: So a lot of the things that have happened to Israel,
Speaker 2: whether it was from Lebanon through Hesbelah, whether it was
Speaker 2: the Palestinians through Hamas, whether it was the Houthis and Yemen.
Speaker 2: They're like, all of y'all are just you're Iran's little homies.
Speaker 2: So so Israel like, I'm done going back and forth
Speaker 2: with y'all. I need I need to speak to the manager. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm done playing games the bosses Iran, and
Speaker 2: I need Iran to know that we know what you're
Speaker 2: doing and you're gonna stop doing this to us. You
Speaker 2: ain't slick. And usually how Iran response is, it's always indirect.
Speaker 2: It's always through Hezbelah, Hamas, the Houthis. That's why when
Speaker 2: we did the Huthi Who episode, we were like, Okay,
Speaker 2: the Houthi's got their own thing, but remember that's Iran.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: So Iran jumps in and now a lot of the
Speaker 2: people that are supporting the people of Palestine are.
Speaker 1: Like, great man, take a shot at like distracting. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Remember Hamas's hope was.
Speaker 2: We wanted to all our regional war and remember America's thing,
Speaker 2: and remember when I had did the terrorform one with
Speaker 2: the search for common ground thing. The hope was that
Speaker 2: we would be able to stop a regional war, because
Speaker 2: once the cat get out the bag, it's all bad.
Speaker 2: But from Israel's perspective, you take out Iran, harmas is easy.
Speaker 2: You take out Iran, you ain't got to worry about
Speaker 2: Hamas Hesbaalah or the hoosies that as they thought, we
Speaker 2: know that's you, but it one would think that Iran
Speaker 2: is doing a good thing in the sense that, like, listen,
Speaker 2: we were responding specifically to your attack on our consulate
Speaker 2: in Syria.
Speaker 1: That's not right.
Speaker 2: You dropped the bomb in Syria. You took out one
Speaker 2: of our guys. That's not right. And also that we
Speaker 2: ain't forgot what you did to Costum Soulamani in Iraq.
Speaker 2: You keep popping our people and not in our home.
Speaker 2: You because in their mind, is America the same people.
Speaker 2: You know that, And that's what I'm talking talking talking
Speaker 2: talking about. I'm talking about Ron. Iran sees Israel America
Speaker 2: as the same. Y'all niggas are the same. It don't matter, right,
Speaker 2: So and then Iran's saying, look, we followed the rules.
Speaker 2: We gave y'all and everybody around y'all a seventy two
Speaker 2: hour warning, like get out the hood, y'all, gone on inside,
Speaker 2: we're gonna do this. America was like, no, they didn't.
Speaker 2: You ain't give us no man, no you didn't. And
Speaker 2: can you trust Iran's word, Absolutely not getru just America's word.
Speaker 1: No. So just if that's the case, I'm still salty
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: And I see y'all going through all this stuff, you
Speaker 2: going through stuff, and we've been playing our part. We've
Speaker 2: been chilled, and now you're gonna pop pop off in
Speaker 2: me directly on it's own. And they say, now, okay,
Speaker 2: look it, leave us out of this. We consider or
Speaker 2: the thing done. Don't retaliate. Basically, they like, can we
Speaker 2: just go back to the to the way it was? Okay,
Speaker 2: But one would think again, like all right, yes, that's good.
Speaker 2: Thank you Iran for being a defender of the region.
Speaker 2: Hold your horses, Rick Ross, ain't no hero heed a
Speaker 2: nigga rapping about date rape, heeding nigga pretending to that.
Speaker 2: Hold on, now, okay, Iran, this is the regime. The
Speaker 2: Iranians have been trying to overthrow the Ayatola over there forever.
Speaker 2: This is a repressive the Islamic Republic is, that's that's
Speaker 2: the government. Just because they got the name Islam in
Speaker 2: front of it, don't make them Islamic, my nigga. Like
Speaker 2: we could call ourselves the Christian you know, woman of
Speaker 2: christ Strip Club. You know what I'm saying, because like
Speaker 2: you could put Christian in front of anything, you could
Speaker 2: put Islamic in front of whatever you want. That don't
Speaker 2: make them Islamic, my nigga. Like these the same people.
Speaker 2: You remember old.
Speaker 1: Girl that went to jail because her her job wasn't
Speaker 1: worn right.
Speaker 2: Then young lady died. They beat that young lady. That's
Speaker 2: them people. Y'all not heroes, Okay, don't like listen, listen,
Speaker 2: they're not heroes in this. They just got a thing
Speaker 2: with Israel. And let me tell you what that thing is.
Speaker 2: They want to run the Middle East. Yeah they don't, don't.
Speaker 2: Don't get it twisted. Saudi Arabia hands with America.
Speaker 1: Jordan.
Speaker 2: Why Jordan would jump in because Jordan is like, I
Speaker 2: live too close to y'all.
Speaker 1: I can't have y'all.
Speaker 2: I can't have y'all shooting back and forth because, uh,
Speaker 2: you messing up my money, and my people gonna die.
Speaker 2: And if my people are gonna die, then everybody dying.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna need this to stop, okay, Like I'm
Speaker 2: gonna need y'all to chill.
Speaker 1: Everybody need to kick it. You're messing up my money,
Speaker 1: right yo. This type of control for a region ain't new.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Pre World War Two, Japan tried to colonize all of
Speaker 2: Asia and they used to say Asia for Asians. So
Speaker 2: if you was Hong Kong fam, if you was Thailand,
Speaker 2: you was like, I mean, either the white people, the
Speaker 2: British gonna come down here or y'all gonna come down here.
Speaker 2: And you're telling me because you look like me, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be okay with y'all. Like no, Like I don't
Speaker 2: need a colonizer at all. I don't need I don't
Speaker 2: need that at all. So so like that power struggle
Speaker 2: for the region, like a lot of the Middle East custle,
Speaker 2: like man, miss me all together with all that Syria,
Speaker 2: Like y'all, I'm good, Okay, don't be coming over here
Speaker 2: talking about you know, you know, we united under our
Speaker 2: law like like no, we not okay? Like no, so
Speaker 2: Ross getting his bars off, Ross getting his jokes off,
Speaker 2: but I ain't really gonna really do anything. We was
Speaker 2: having this discussion in one of my group text about
Speaker 2: like Ross, don't if we're talking numbers, Kendrick Drake Cole
Speaker 2: and now asap. You know you could you could include
Speaker 2: in that these are again under follow me here, these
Speaker 2: are relevant names like.
Speaker 1: These are the the future.
Speaker 2: I'm an ad future like these these are the y'all
Speaker 2: don't even I'm I would ventually say, you don't know
Speaker 2: Rick Ross is you know Rick Ross is follow my
Speaker 2: metaphor Rick Ross kicking in the bungalows. Rick Ross got
Speaker 2: the power to tell the homies that pull up to
Speaker 2: the car wash, that's that's you know, that will pull
Speaker 2: up to the street race and the little burnout thing.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, they illegal burnout things. Ross
Speaker 2: know where they are. Ross has the power to be
Speaker 2: like that little bright.
Speaker 1: Nigga can't come. They don't.
Speaker 2: I don't care how many records you saw, you can't come.
Speaker 2: So Ross's co sign Ross like you right, I am overweight,
Speaker 2: but you see me with my shirt off and it's
Speaker 2: still made back music.
Speaker 1: I'm still balling. So and you can't come to the barbecue.
Speaker 2: I'm still a boss for the people that Drake want
Speaker 2: to be accepted by matters. But if he was just
Speaker 2: cool with just being the megastar that he is, I
Speaker 2: don't even understand why you responding to any of it.
Speaker 2: It's really the question. I don't understand. You ain't have
Speaker 2: to say nothing. You're doing state farm commercials.
Speaker 1: What do you care?
Speaker 2: He even said in his interview, like, man, people forget
Speaker 2: I'm black. Like he said that in his interview that
Speaker 2: he did a few years back.
Speaker 1: That was after the push.
Speaker 2: A te thing when he went to war with him
Speaker 2: and it came out that he had a son. You know,
Speaker 2: He's like, man, y'all, y'all forget I'm black, And poor
Speaker 2: Guy said Poor Drake was like, I was gonna take
Speaker 2: the year off.
Speaker 1: I'm tired. Man, You do care? Care about? What you
Speaker 1: care about the way the hommies view you is real care.
Speaker 2: And again Iran shots, they unloaded full clips. It ain't
Speaker 2: do nothing Ross could unload a full you go. You
Speaker 2: are you gonna make Drake not a number one artist?
Speaker 2: Know what you're gonna do is call him a white boy,
Speaker 2: make memes about him, Tell the streets he's laying that's
Speaker 2: what you're gonna do, and we are going to continue
Speaker 2: to laugh. Now the last part is what the hell
Speaker 2: role us got to do it? Okay, So now the
Speaker 2: big three lesson is again you gotta know what the dude.
Speaker 1: Wants, just wants to be accepted, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And Ross jumping in is because Ross already just don't
Speaker 2: mess with right, Iran jumping in because Iran just remember,
Speaker 2: they just don't mess with Israel.
Speaker 1: They just they just don't mess with them.
Speaker 2: Like it is what it is, and there's a bar
Speaker 2: and I forget what song it is that Drake is like,
Speaker 2: I got dudes that don't f with me, connecting with
Speaker 2: dudes that don't f with me, and convincing everybody to
Speaker 2: not f with me, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 2: it's like it's essentially, I mean, that's Israel, right, Like
Speaker 2: that's the way they feel like we get it in
Speaker 2: from every angle, whereas the rest of the angle, rest
Speaker 2: of the world is like, well maybe like you're starving
Speaker 2: out Palestinians, man, like y'all just how y'all got here
Speaker 2: is just so weird. And of course you know, Drake
Speaker 2: can always say Wayne's big homie. Israel can always say America,
Speaker 2: they big homie, and it's like, I know, America is like, hey,
Speaker 2: don't shoot back because we don't want a regional war.
Speaker 2: Will help you defend yourself, but we ain't gonna help
Speaker 2: you be offensive. Like look, you could record in my studio,
Speaker 2: but like I don't want to be a part of
Speaker 2: this bee poor metro bluemen just just catching strays everywhere.
Speaker 2: Right Anyway, America is saying we will help you defend yourself.
Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you all this how logical that
Speaker 1: sounds to you?
Speaker 2: How do you defend yourself in a war with shields
Speaker 2: or the weapons? What's gonna stop that weapon from becoming
Speaker 2: defensive to offensive? My point is, America, what is you
Speaker 2: talking about? You're gonna help them defend themselves but not
Speaker 2: be offensive or what? So, then what are you saying
Speaker 2: if they decide to invade Iran, you're not gonna help.
Speaker 2: Are you still gonna supply weapons? Can you control what
Speaker 2: they do with those weapons? What are you saying that
Speaker 2: you're not gonna send troops? You've already taken that off
Speaker 2: the table, unless that is than you were gonna do,
Speaker 2: and you just ain't told everybody else. What is you saying?
Speaker 2: You're not gonna help them? Be offensive? You can't control that.
Speaker 2: You understand you're aiding in this genocide like you don't.
Speaker 2: Are you act like you act like you don't. Well,
Speaker 2: we're we're also providing aid.
Speaker 3: Are you.
Speaker 2: Maybe stop selling stop giving them money to buy what
Speaker 2: buy weapons?
Speaker 1: That would be I think that would really help.
Speaker 2: I understand those your folks you've already defended, like you
Speaker 2: can't back down now right, You can't say you big
Speaker 2: mad and then continue to enable.
Speaker 1: Saw an interview with twenty one Savage.
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I saw an
Speaker 2: interview with twenty one Savage and he was like, look, man,
Speaker 2: you need niggas around you that'll tell you when you
Speaker 2: being lame, like straight up like if you ain't got
Speaker 2: nobody around you, that's not being like my nigga. That's
Speaker 2: real lame, like you being you being a lame right now.
Speaker 2: If you ain't got nobody like that, if everybody just
Speaker 2: like likes every move you make, then you need your
Speaker 2: circle fraudulent. You need niggas that'll tell you you being
Speaker 2: real lame right now. And I'm not Finna help you, America.
Speaker 2: You have a chance we could turn this around. But
Speaker 2: look here, Iran jumped in because they already had Ross
Speaker 2: fit his rass, because he already had a problem. And
Speaker 2: don't think that Ross is some sort of hero that's
Speaker 2: helping out with this. You can laugh at the shots,
Speaker 2: but that nigga no hero. Iran jumped in that if
Speaker 2: you are here to support, if you are here for
Speaker 2: a ceasefire and support the Palestinians, and you think Israel
Speaker 2: is the is the big evil in this, Iran is
Speaker 2: not your hero, okay. And as what we're seeing is
Speaker 2: like the Israeli people are begging for nets to Yahoo
Speaker 2: to be taken down because the nigga wild and they
Speaker 2: like and let's let's let's let's.
Speaker 1: Keep it real. They like, where are our hostages? That's
Speaker 1: all we asked for.
Speaker 2: I just need you to bring that all this other
Speaker 2: just bring the hot Why you ain't brought home to hostages.
Speaker 2: It was like us asking Jacket Twitter, like, bro, we
Speaker 2: just need an edit button. I don't know all this.
Speaker 1: I just want to edit button.
Speaker 2: Man that Yahoo was already on their nighte because what
Speaker 2: he was doing with the Kannesset, like he's a he's
Speaker 2: a right wing leader that not everybody in the country
Speaker 2: is for, like they not everybody ain't really with this,
Speaker 2: you know what they with? Just bruh, can you bring
Speaker 2: our family home and just you know, we just don't
Speaker 2: want no problems, man, like, dude, you gotta do. But dog,
Speaker 2: can we get somebody else in here? Diatola out in Iran?
Speaker 2: Like I said, that's a repressive regime like he they
Speaker 2: like don't think the people of Iran are not happy.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, man, But at least in rap battles,
Speaker 2: nobody dies. They just means at least that was the goal.
Speaker 2: Who grown men writing poems about each other? I know,
Speaker 2: I definitely prefer that then, you know, Biggie and Tupop times,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1: But man, Ron ron Is you wasn't outside y'all. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me add a little t at the end of this.
Speaker 2: There's a theory going around as of today, which is
Speaker 2: April seventeenth.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 2: Drake's actually a partial owner of this thing called Gamma,
Speaker 2: which is a partnership with UMG, which is record label stuff,
Speaker 2: which would mean that he's a partial owner of pretty
Speaker 2: much all of.
Speaker 1: It. Hip Hop's catalogs and everyone's coming after it. Okay.
Speaker 2: So Rick Ross is MMG, Gamma, nav Is, Republic, UMG, Weekend, UMG, Metro, UMG,
Speaker 2: Kendrick Interscope UMG right asap is RCAA Records, which is
Speaker 2: Sony and then future Sony Right. So between them two things,
Speaker 2: he has a pieces of Snoop, Rick Ross, Usher, Sexy
Speaker 2: Red French, Montana d Smoke that there's a possibility that
Speaker 2: through his business dealings, it's all speculation that he actually
Speaker 2: he actually partially owns all their catalogs. And maybe that's
Speaker 2: why everybody king's stand at this. This is all t
Speaker 2: don't notice for a fact. But if it is, nobody
Speaker 2: respond like, okay, that's kind of like game set match,
Speaker 2: but it's also it's really a white boy move a politicians.
Speaker 2: All right, now, don't you hit stop on this pod.
Speaker 2: You better listen to these credits. I need you to
Speaker 2: finish this thing so I can get the download numbers. Okay,
