I just knew, like I didn't 424 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: know even though Mackwap was gonna be there, Like I 425 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: thought I was doing a podcast with a D and Trail. 426 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: So I hit a D in his DMS and he 427 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 2: was like, bet, let's do it Monday, And then I 428 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 2: text AD. He didn't answer, so I just hit up 429 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 2: t Reil. I didn't really know Troll like that, but 430 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 2: I assumed that they were doing it together. So I 431 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: hit up Trail and Treel was like, bet, yeah, like 432 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: you good for Monday, come Monday, not knowing that there's 433 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: two different ye. 434 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: Exactly. 435 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: So when Mackwap walked in the room, I just thought 436 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: he was pulling up to kick it. And then when 437 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 2: he sat down, I'm like, oh shit, like AD's. 438 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: Not gonna be here.

I'm thinking, we're 443 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 2: in a TD space and we're never gonna like the 444 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: last place we're going to get into this type of 445 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 2: situation is a is a TDE podcast.

But I tell 461 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: people all the time that was the biggest blessing because 462 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have I don't think I would have gotten 463 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 2: out of my contract without that going so public. 464 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: You know what.

But but you know, for the most part, 577 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 2: you could kind of point to any Label executive and 578 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 2: be like they did some goofy shit. 579 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, you know, think about Russell Simmons.

Yeah. I mean, like, 725 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: I'll say this about Drake, like obviously, Drake's one of 726 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: the greatest rabbers of all time, for sure, biggest hit 727 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: maker ever for sure without adult uh. I think that 728 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: I've always been pretty critical Drake for sure over the 729 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: years that I've always there was always something holding me 730 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: back from like me putting him above like a few guys. 731 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: And then you know, this Battle just kind of reconfirmed 732 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: all those feelings I had. 733 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: And I think that that's why a lot of people 734 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 2: chose the side that they chose, is because people have 735 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 2: been having a certain perception or feeling about somebody and 736 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 2: then it's like, like you said, like the Battle highlighted 737 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: those things and so people felt I think that they 738 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 2: felt their emotions seen. And the biggest thing I think 739 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: that the biggest takeaway that I tell artists with the 740 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: Battle is Jaco just releases his podcast series and he 741 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 2: he had he had a line from Dilated People that 742 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 2: he said he kind of lived his career by which 743 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: is worse come to worse my people first. And I 744 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: think that great record the Alchemists exactly, and I love 745 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,959 Speaker 2: like I got relationships on on Drake's camp side as 746 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 2: far as like production, different things like that. But the 747 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: one thing that I do feel like as an artist 748 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 2: you could take from that situation is I think Drake 749 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 2: over the years could have done a better job taking 750 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 2: care of his people. Because to me, the difference in 751 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 2: the battle Dot one regardless. So even even to me 752 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: music wise, I think Dot put out the better records. 753 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 2: But I think the reason why it got as bad 754 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 2: as it got is because I think over the years 755 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 2: of just being such a big artist, I think Drake 756 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 2: did not take care of his core. So Drake might 757 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 2: have the bigger fan base like overall, but Dot has 758 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 2: the bigger core. And when you are in beefs, your 759 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 2: core is gonna be the one that's gonna like ride 760 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 2: and ignite the fire. And let's say Drake has ten 761 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 2: million fans and not only has five. Well, Dot has 762 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 2: four point five million core fans, and Drake might have 763 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: only had like one. 764 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost like there's Drake fans that are Drake 765 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: fans just passively, That's what I mean. And it's like, 766 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's almost like if you are a Drake fan, 767 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: you might not necessarily you know, most Death got some 768 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: hell because he said that Drake made great music to 769 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: shop at Target to Yeah, he was out of his mind. 770 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: It was hilarious. But like, but that's kind of like 771 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: true because there's a lot of people who might just 772 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: be shopping at Target. I got what comes on and 773 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I unders still but they but that 774 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: might be the only hip hop artist they listen to, right, 775 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: And then you know, you have all these Kendrick fans 776 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: who have been like anointing him to be like, oh, 777 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: because he for for better or worse, like Kendrick is. 778 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: He's been you know, in my opinion, he's been top 779 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: five for the last like seven eight years.

And what I 863 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: mean by that is, if you put like a hundred 864 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: of like the top hip hop heads journalists in a room, 865 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: if you ain't getting ninety five percent of them, motherfuckers 866 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: to say that's a classic, it's not a classic like 867 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: a good Kid, Mad City or Dogy Style. Now. To me, 868 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: Drake's got like three classics to me. To me, I 869 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: got a me at four class I think the first mix, well, 870 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: not the first mixtape, the. 871 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 2: Well we count that I got him at five. If 872 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 2: we count so far gone. 873 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: So far gone, I got so far gone, I got 874 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: take Care and nothing was the same. I know a 875 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: lot of people like the if you're reading this, it's 876 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: too late, that's a classic. To me, I just can't 877 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: get over the fact that I heard the fucking references. 878 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: I can respect that one hundred percent. Yeah, I can 879 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: respect one hundred percent. But those are those are to 880 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: me the three that I'm like, Yo, Drake's so I'm like, 881 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: I'm listen, I'm a hater, but uh, if I'm being honest, 882 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: like I love all three of those out. Yeah, Yeah, 883 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: for me, so Far Gone. 884 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 2: Made me like, I think so that's about saying I 885 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 2: think so far Gone is the consensus classic that you 886 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 2: were talking about. I don't see you getting in the 887 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 2: room with hip hop has and them saying so far 888 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 2: gone is not a classic point. But for me, I 889 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 2: got so far gone to take care nothing was the 890 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 2: same I do have. If you're reading this, it's too late, 891 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 2: and I got the future joint what It's time to 892 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 2: be alive? For me, how I judge classics is different though. 893 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 2: I judge it where if you can just put it 894 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 2: on and let it play and not have to press skip, 895 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 2: And that doesn't mean that there's no song you don't like. 896 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 2: It just means that you never get to a point 897 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 2: to where you feel obbly. 898 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, what It's time to be alive? Had that was 899 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: crazy it was actually and so I judge it off 900 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: of that. 901 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,800 Speaker 2: I judge it off for impact, which is why I 902 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 2: always say now like there's no such thing as like 903 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 2: there's gonna be no new artists that can put out 904 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 2: classics anymore because of impact, because there's it's the game 905 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 2: is so convoluted that unless you're like a huge, huge 906 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 2: artist or about to be huge, I think it's really 907 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 2: hard to put out an impact Like I think, don't 908 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,720 Speaker 2: she put out I think, don't she put out a classic? 909 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 2: But I'm saying like, you have to have that level 910 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 2: of impact. So if you're you know, an artist that 911 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 2: just can't make an impact in that way, it doesn't 912 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 2: matter how good the music is, it's gonna be. 913 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's hard, man, because at the end 914 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: of the day, like you said, there's just so much, 915 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,959 Speaker 1: just so much shit. And it's not even just music. 916 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 2: It's you know, it's it's almost like movies, it's podcast 917 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 2: it's it's everything, you know what I mean. Like Shannon 918 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 2: Sharp was having sex on the internet that lasted for 919 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 2: two days, Like when when it wasn't so much shit 920 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 2: going on, we would have been talking about that for weeks. 921 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: You talked about that for maybe thirty six hours. We're 922 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: in this like a weird media space where the streamers, 923 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, like a kid like Aiden Ross, like people 924 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,879 Speaker 1: like his opinion on hip hop, people reachmatter matter, He's 925 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 1: not to know anything about hip hop. 926 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 2: I love Kay Sannatt to death. I think everything kys 927 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 2: Sanata is doing is fucking phenomenal. But even the fact 928 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 2: he's obviously not a hip hop head. That's what I 929 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 2: was gonna say, obvious, the fact that you have people 930 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 2: dropping hip hop albums and feel like they are obligated 931 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 2: to stop at Kay sannat spot which and he's dope, 932 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 2: and you know, Kyle, I love Speed. I think I 933 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 2: think the one is is fucking phenomenal in there. I 934 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 2: think their visionaries, especially to be so young. But like 935 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 2: you said, it's I and he don't even try to 936 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 2: act like he's a hip hop He no. And that's 937 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 2: one of the reasons I love Kay is because Kay's 938 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 2: and I don't try to be nothing that he's not. 939 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 2: He don't give he don't give a fuck like they're 940 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 2: killing them right now because of what he said about Die, 941 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 2: But he genuinely don't give a fuck, And that's what 942 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 2: I love about him. He's just authentically Kai all the time. 943 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 2: But I say this to say, you got you know 944 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 2: people that are thirty three, thirty four feeling like obligated 945 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 2: that they got to stop there and spend a night 946 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 2: to get their album to sell. You get what I'm saying, 947 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 2: like for real, Like and it's like to me, that's 948 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 2: the part of the game that like, I just I 949 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 2: just hate that we're at now, is that nobody's doing anything, 950 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 2: Like nobody's doing shit because they love it anymore. Everybody's 951 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 2: treating it like a fucking job. And that's what I hate. 952 00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 2: Like you don't see big rappers sitting down with keVs 953 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 2: or Charlemagne's or whoever. That like people that actually love rapping. 954 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 2: They're just going to wherever they think makes sense for 955 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:07,879 Speaker 2: that album. 956 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: That's all.
