Speaker 2:That's cool. Everybody has their own. Everybody has their own viewpoint.
Speaker 1:That's why you really can't talk Politics with everybody.
Speaker 2:I mean to be honest with you. You're not supposed to.
Speaker 1:Nah.
Speaker 2:So you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, you didn't say nothing, that was you know.
Speaker 2:I mean it's my opinion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, at the end of the day Like it's two things I always stay away from with people that at least don't have the mental or the maturity to even talk about it. It's religion and politics. Those are two like straight up, but I mean it wasn't nothing crazy.
Speaker 2:I mean it was but it wasn't Like. It wasn't like oh, the up war Like oh shit, you know A kid calling me crazy, nah, it's just the fact that you know Nah nigga if you calling me crazy, it's's cold, nah, it's just, you know, saying something. Saying hey.
Speaker 1:But at the end of the day, hey, we live in a country when this shit, this shit, if we don't assimilate- you might be right.
Speaker 2:How I look at it is what Donald Trump Eat. Don't make me shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So at the end of the day, we all gotta still Get out there and go get it. So we all gotta still Get out there and go get it.
Speaker 1:So yeah, it is what it is, yeah.
Speaker 2:But nah.
Speaker 1:Let's just cut through this shit, man. I mean, we, we literally are Recording this podcast Based on what happened these past two weeks. It's only. It's only two topics. Yeah, we got some shit Happening in our city, we'll get into later, but at the same time, like the main, yeah, genex.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:G-Nex yeah Album review.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then Drake, but the two topics leads into subtopics that can expand.
Speaker 2:I mean, where do you want to start? Do you want to start with the G-Nex review?
Speaker 1:So, I do want to review that Because that shit is important To review that album.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 1:Because now it's great to review the album a week later versus first listen. Right, because we, we listen to it. I've listened to it at least shit, 25, 20 times I can't see on repeat like, like. You know what I mean like it's not a.
Speaker 1:It's not even a number at this point because it's not a lot of albums I want to listen to for this month and the rest of the year. Yeah, and he dropped it surprisingly, so definitely nothing else to listen to. The only time I listened to something outside of that album was during Thanksgiving, family around and a Friendsgiving.
Speaker 2:I ain't going to lie to you, other than that I've listened to podcasts and I've listened to Leon Thomas, which, honestly, that's a conversation that needs to be had as well. I feel like Leon Thomas Might have dropped the album of the year, R&B wise.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and we'll get into that, cause we, you know, we do the wrap up. Yeah, shit, we ain't do a wrap up Last year, but we'll get into that. Yeah, we'll do the wrap up At the end of the year. But going back to G and Nick's Dog, this is dog finally, this is the fine, this is our, this is our review. We list to it too many times to not give like a thorough like review on on that album I mean, where do we start?
Speaker 2:I mean we can do this track by track, how we want to go about it. Because my thing is, first of all oh my god, this dude is amazing. Because also, one thing that we're not taking in consideration, and I feel like everybody's not taking in consideration, is the fact that everything that the media and these academic kids or drake heads say that Kendrick didn't do he did it and did it with ease, and you can tell, you can tell just by the albums that we expect from Kendrick is very deep, detailed puzzles. That's the beauty of it.
Speaker 2:This was straight to the point. Yeah, there was no for me. There was no hold on. Let me dissect this. That in third. It was straight up. Here you go and it was west coast, yeah, yeah, I mean like I, I loved because I'm, it's us and music we talk about this all the time the fact that Music, for some reason, doesn't have A cultural sound Anymore. As far as, alright, a west coast, a west coast artist, doesn't sound like A west coast artist. A southern artist Doesn't sound like A southern artist.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:East coast Artist doesn't sound like a southern artist. Yeah, east coast, uh uh artist doesn't sound like a east coast artist. But to be honest with you, even when it comes to the east coast, everybody from the east coast sounds like they're from chicago yeah you know atlanta is atlanta, even when it come down to houston. A lot of them try to sound like they from Atlanta, but this was a West Coast album. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like this is what you expect when you want to hear that type of culture.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I think he did that to the T Not even just from an LA standpoint, but from a bass standpoint as well, because I was just hearing some amazing shit. So I appreciate that from a Kendrick album. I appreciate that from Kendrick because it felt like he stood up for his side.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what I mean. So, no, everything you said I agree with. So to add on to it, it's more so for me. Let me ask this question because we grew up in a Dat Piff era. Right, we don't consider Sextant 80 as the first album. We always consider Good Kid, but technically, quote unquote I as the first album.
Speaker 2:We always consider Good Kid, but technically quote unquote I look at Section 80 as an album.
Speaker 1:Okay, so let's do that If we're taking Section 80 as the first album and we go from Section 80 to Good Kid, to Untitled or Pimp Butterfly. However, you want to put it Damn Miss Morale and G&X. What I love about it? About his catalog every album is literally different.
Speaker 4:I agree, every album.
Speaker 1:Like G&X is for the West Coast, like we talked about.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:This is his Astroworld. I have Astroworld to us for Travis Scott. Was that masterpiece?
Speaker 2:I like how you tried. You took my point.
Speaker 1:But no, it's your point. No for sure Like it's your point, but it's. It's. That's what G and X you know what I'm saying For the West Coast, but for me, this is what I like About the album the most. For one, of course, 12 songs I can. That's why it's so easy to replay. Yeah, but another thing, for me, the number one thing, is he put people on.
Speaker 4:That's underground la that's underground west coast, I agree like that to me.
Speaker 1:Was that the main thing? For me? It's like, dude, you putting on people that make I thought the song with doughty six when I first heard I thought that was yG. Yeah, you know what I'm saying you were saying that in the car, I was like nah nigga, this is Dodie. Yeah you know what I mean. It's like, bro, this is. I thought this was YG.
Speaker 1:He's putting on people in our hood in our city and I'm putting these guys on and we're going to get to Drake in a minute and people owe me an apology, but I'm going to lead to that. You know what I'm saying Because to me that was the main thing. I liked about the album a lot. I knew man. We had a point now with the Kendrick Catalyst dog, source Magazine, with the five mics.
Speaker 1:We don't expect nothing less than a four, I agree Like. So I already knew it was going to deliver. Yeah, what a surprise drop. But for me it was about putting on them guys from LA and now what's going to happen is now they got a platform and they're going to go on tour.
Speaker 2:So here's the thing also that I don't think that people are really looking at, and this is something that I feel like every, every city, every coast should, should really take. This is the most important part of this whole thing the fact that he took these artists that we may not we, as in the world, may not know, but the west coast does know. But he put them in a position to where they can win, and when I say that, I'm saying more of a standpoint of like, hey look, this is how you do this, this is how you create quality. He showed them how to create quality, I guarantee you, like even lefty um, lefty gunplay, yeah, he put him in a place to where he could win. In my opinion, he showed them how you use yourself, he produced them, and that's something that in the music industry, that doesn't happen.
Speaker 4:Especially in Houston.
Speaker 2:Like this is something that I would expect. Kendrick did, something that no superstar has done, in my opinion. When we say that GNX is the West coast's astroworld, I'm saying that from a standpoint of what if travis scott took a lot of these artists under his wing and produced them and showed them how to create quality yeah because that's what kendrick did, right if I mean, atlanta does it already. But these are the things that we talk about when we say, hey, create moments for your coast yeah put people on.
Speaker 2:That's how you put people on by showing them how to create quality.
Speaker 1:This doesn't happen every day no, no, not at all he produced these cats.
Speaker 2:He was Kanye West, he was Quincy Jones for these artists on the West.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think that's an understatement. I don't feel like everybody's giving him enough credit for what he did in this situation, because these records are amazing, even down to the fact and I feel like I know how he did it. But that Dodger Blue record, bruh you just said like man, where the fuck is Roddy Ricch in this record?
Speaker 2:That hook has damn near five or six people on the hook. Four, no, I'm saying five or six, I think it's like four. I can hear where Roddy Ricch comes in, right, but the fact that I know that he probably had them all do the same hook over and over and he took pieces of everybody's hook and made it the hook. That doesn't happen every day. That does not happen every day.
Speaker 1:We're talking about pure artistry at this point and I want to ask a question too, because there's always been a discussion about with people. So when it came to like a kendrick and drake remember that theory they had about kendrick and drake and cole was that drake was the better artist she's made. The better artist he should make, the better albums. Colmick is a better rapper. I think that's debunked quickly, because when they say Drake is a better artist over Kendrick, just because you can sing does not make you a better artist than somebody. Because if you think about Kendrick's artistry, it's not just because it's not just okay you're rapping. He's doing more than that. He's in the booth, he's picking and choosing. He's detailed. You know what I mean. Like it's more. He can go through multiple genres, like funk. You know what I'm saying. You got hip hop, you got. He can do all of these things, plus also being detailed with the albums and how he's picking and choosing.
Speaker 2:Well, I feel, I feel like Kendrick is a student.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Not saying Drake isn't because Drake is a student of the game, but I feel like Drake is the bigger pop star. Kendrick is the better artist, if that makes sense. Yeah, in hip-hop yeah, when it comes to hip-hop, as far as pop and in everything that circles around music, I feel like drake is that and we're gonna get to everything when it comes to drake a little bit later. But when it comes to a hip-hop artist and a composer and vision and Vision, I feel like Kendrick takes the cake Between them Three.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Easily, because I have a take, I think, at this point, given the success of everything that he's done In the past year, but Not even the past year, but not even the past year, but just Classic album after classic album After classic album, man, we gotta crown this man as the greatest of all time.
Speaker 1:I agree I've been set after me. I've been set after Nalak, cause he's the best ever.
Speaker 2:I feel like, in a lot of ways, there's no holes In his resume when it comes to Drake. Drake is great For what he is, but I feel like Drake has a lot of misses. And I feel like Drake and when I say greatest of all time, I'm talking about hip hop I think Drake is more More focused on being a pop star Than he is being Like a hip hop, a rapper.
Speaker 1:Right, you know what I mean, yeah.
Speaker 2:And there's no shot to him. But when we talk about culture, when we talk about hip hop and what hip hop means to all of us, kendrick Embodies that To the T, to. You know, like this album Said it all. It said everything. Like this album Said it all From a standpoint of like Look, it's like Okay, when you playing 2K and you say, hey, look, I'm gonna take the Sorriest team and not Saying the west coast is a sorry team, like the people on that album was, sorry artists. Yeah, but I'm gonna take this team and I'm gonna take them to the top right. This man took Artists that we didn't know about from a worldwide Standpoint and put them on this Album and made them sounds. It sequenced so perfectly. Do you know what kind of? Because this could have failed.
Speaker 1:Tremendously. Yeah, because he took a risk, because he put on these underground artists. Yes, because remember when it came out you had some people that was out there saying, man, you didn't need to have All the Doty 6 and Left Eye, you didn't need to have.
Speaker 2:All the Doty 6 and Left Eye Gun. You didn't need that man look. But here's the thing the public was saying that he wasn't putting people On the west on. Now you can't say that. Right. How many artists On that album Did you say I ain't know who the fuck this was? How many of them Did you still Think to yourself Like damn, I don't know, I got to look at the credits, yo. When the last time you had to look at the credits Exactly, that's like the essence of hip hop. I remember as a kid, even just in general, like man, even to this day, I look at before I look at anything, I look at who the credits is.
Speaker 1:Yo.
Speaker 2:Who is a part of this record?
Speaker 1:who created this? Yeah?
Speaker 2:like, can we like?
Speaker 1:how amazing is that the essence of what this is, the purity of what it is, the rawness and and that's the thing too, because you gotta look, okay, and that's another reason, and I'm gonna get to the whole Goat thing as well but, like, if you take Kendrick, and when he came in On the West Coast and when they crowned him, think about the West Coast Before Kendrick came, before, before Good Kid Mad City. Think about the West Coast Before Good Kid Mad City, what was happening? Man City, think about the West Coast before Good Kid man City, what was happening? And then, honestly, no, okay, I'm thinking about the East Coast as well, but the West Coast just itself. Before Good Kid man City, what was the West Coast? Who was the top dog? Like that, nobody. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Nobody it wasn't anything.
Speaker 1:Kendrick was like the savior. You know what I'm saying Like it wasn't. Nobody, it wasn't Anything. So Kendrick was like the savior. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So Well, I I wouldn't even just Cap it, at the West Coast, I would say of hip hop. Because the thing is, I think we lost, we've lost the vision Of what hip hop. I had somebody Come to me and say what's hip-hop Like, what's hip-hop culture? The fact that we even having this conversation is a problem. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Like Kendrick is giving the essence of what hip-hop is. Yeah, the essence, like this album describes what hip-hop is. Just even the fact that you have to sit down and think about what this man is saying From all aspects, from a community aspect, to, like bro, this album, he delivered on all cylinders and what's crazy is for me, I feel like he did it with ease Because there was no, it was straightforward and to the point. Any of his other albums. You gotta think through this shit, you gotta listen to this shit a couple times to really get the vision of what he's trying to do. I feel, like this album, it was so straightforward, but at the same time, you still do gotta think through all this shit, because now we all having think tanks of exactly what everything means, even down to the music videos yeah, you gotta dissect everything with kendrick and you gotta understand what he's, what he's talking about, what's his message.
Speaker 2:But when we look at some of the greats. When it came to jay Nas, dmx, shit Rakim, ll Cool J, a lot of these artists, you had to sit down and think like, okay, what is this person trying to Scarface? What is this person trying to? What is the message? What are you trying to tell me? Yeah, and for the longest we didn't have that, especially now.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So, man, we gotta give this man his credit, even from track one To track twelve. This was amazing. This was an amazing body of work. The only record that I don't really like G-Nex.
Speaker 1:That's it, that's the only thing. So so my thing with that song is Do we don't really like genix? That's it, that's the only thing, so I'm. So my thing with that song is do we don't like? Because we're not in the west coast, I, I believe.
Speaker 1:So I mean you know what I'm saying. I think that's what it is, because I'm like, okay, kendrick is he's, he's picky, he's not going to put no throwaway on the album. I agree that song. I'm pretty sure we go to la or cali. We're going to understand that particular song I agree you know what I'm saying. So we're gonna be like okay, that song.
Speaker 2:You know I'm saying we're not gonna like it, but you tell me an album to where every app, every record on there you can. It's there for you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean as far as.
Speaker 2:I don't wanna say that, I'm not even gonna say that, but you took me an album To where every record.
Speaker 1:Talks about them, and hip hop is tough.
Speaker 2:Even with Get Rich or Die Trying, it's a record that For everybody, everybody would skip.
Speaker 1:It happens all the time. I mean, there's always Some albums that you're going to skip one or two songs.
Speaker 2:It don't matter what genre it is you can't skip one of them. You, a J Cole fan, it's one album where you. It's a bunch of albums where you like. Okay one, I can live with that. You can't live with J Cole, Huh, can we?
Speaker 3:got one song on there that they, they would. Uh, it's a bunch of albums when you like.
Speaker 1:Okay, when I can live with that. Huh, g and X. Yeah, g and X, but, like I said, but as I'm saying Huh. Well you can have an album.
Speaker 2:Hold on Are you saying it's a classic who?
Speaker 1:G and X. Yeah, okay, it's too soon. It's too soon to but what?
Speaker 2:I will say Not like us. Us is the greatest disrecent of all time I've been bro.
Speaker 1:Y'all caught me overreacting when I first said that two weeks after.
Speaker 1:The song was too early but I knew, because the ramifications I knew. At that time I said, bro, the ramifications of this song, we're not going to say it immediately but it's going to take until that shit possibly happens to him allegedly. You know what I'm saying. Like that, bro, it's he got, he had an ep of this is so you got four songs he did. Three of those is going to be in the top 10 of all time, top five. One of them is going to be number one. If you want to say meet the grounds, number one, cool. If you want to say euphoria or not like us, I'm cool with that. But three out of those three out of those four songs is going to be in that top five, top ten or top eight of this tracks of all time. You know I'm saying so when you say not like us, I understand because at the same time, not like us, bro, it's a whole, it's this generation's hit them up and that had features.
Speaker 2:Hey, I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, and that's what I said before. Think about Hit Em Up. We love that song and we was babies when the song came out. You know what I'm saying. So we think about the most iconic line. That's why I fucked your bitch, you fat motherfucker. We remember that shit First off. Fuck the rest of the song. We don't sing that shit, not like us. We singing that shit from beginning to end, yeah.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying, but okay. So then we had a conversation before and I told y'all Huh.
Speaker 1:That's my whole point. Yeah, so my whole point on Hit Em Up was that.
Speaker 2:But also okay. So here's the thing With Not Like Us. What took it over the top is that he created an anthem, and when you create an anthem intentionally, it becomes bigger than itself, if that makes sense, Because now you got kids saying freaky ass, nigga, I'm going.
Speaker 1:none guy I heard my instagram story had they recording their daughter drawing something and she's singing, not like us I'm telling you because it's an anthem.
Speaker 2:So the thing with drake when he did back to back, back to back yes, this was, it was a club record. You can play this record in the club. You can play it in the strip club, not like us. You can play that motherfucker at the nfl. We've been watching fucking uh lebron james and fucking uh man.
Speaker 1:We've seen russ book dance to it we've seen yokis dance to not like he was singing a song, because you can make a model out of that. You could be like hey, this team is not like yes or this company this whatever, yes, whoever it is like. Yes, it's a whole anthem.
Speaker 2:It's an anthem that was made. That's what makes it the greatest disc record of all time. Yeah it, I mean. I mean we huh. No, that's how it's going to happen, like yeah, In July the concert was in June.
Speaker 1:though the concert was in June. Though the concert was in June.
Speaker 1:But you know why though, because Abba was like we want to hear this in person For the first time and he only played it. He only played it in public one time. But we always say we was like man, football season, hbcu bands. So it wasn't the fact that they manufactured the hit, it was the fact that the people chose that song. It's like bro, this is no. I feel like this is organic as fuck. It wasn't no manufactured fake hit. It was like bro, we we seen the reaction.
Speaker 2:This, this wasn't, this wasn't forced, but that's that's.
Speaker 1:That's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 2:But, but, here's the thing. One thing about Kendrick, one thing about Kendrick that we never had a had a problem with is the fact that he was always calculating everything that he did, even down to the album rollout. I don't know other than Hov down there. I don't know any other artist that is as calculated as he is.
Speaker 1:Bro, did you see what they said about the GNX Theory? What they said? He dropped it on a day that JFK got assassinated, yeah, and it was like he got assassinated in Texas. Drake lives in Texas now. Oh, that's how calculated this nigga. Is we going to debunk? We?
Speaker 2:going that far. But here's the thing he playing with him now. Yeah, he know he's in his head. Yeah, I don't feel like it's a secret on what this man is. He's that. See, here's the thing and we I know Before we get into it. I rate the album a fucking A+.
Speaker 4:I feel like he only missed one time and that was a GNX record.
Speaker 2:Other than that, I feel like that album Is going to live on For a minute.
Speaker 1:Out of 12 songs. 11 out of 12 Bruh and GNX. I'm going to put like this With GNX If we go to Cali and we hear that, we're going to have A different feeling. Bruh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just told you earlier I can't wait to go to Cali. I got to feel how this shit feel.
Speaker 1:So let's take. Okay, let's do, let's play again. This is only 12 songs, let's take. Let's do, like the source, with the five mics, song by song. Um, racked out mirrors. I give it five mics. Of course Um. What came after Squabble up?
Speaker 2:Oh, squabble up. Okay, do you think they lived up to the hype?

Speaker 1:It's, he's amazing bro.
Speaker 2:Nah, this dude is Is off the charts.
Speaker 1:So I do wanna go back to what you said earlier, though we were talking about.
Speaker 2:Hold up. Where did you get that?
Speaker 1:whole album. I get most songs 5's, 1 through 10, or you talking about like one through five, one through five, oh, one through five is a 4.8 I give it a 4.5 yeah, I get that bitch a 4.8. 4.7 because of the g-neck song. Yeah, the g-neck, if he took out the g-neck song it's perfect oh, my god, nigga, we talking about 11 for 11. It's perfect, and there's not even no bias, like it's literally 11 for 11.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I agree but here's the see. I ain't gonna get in the whole classic shit. I ain't gonna get no give it time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, give it some time, give it time, let it go on tour, because the thing is one thing about this album is I feel like it's the most replayable album of kendrick's other than good kid mad city, and is I feel like it's the most replayable album of Kendrick's Other than Good Kid Mad City and Damn, I feel like it's up there.
Speaker 1:And if there's a double album to it, oh my God.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:He's going to shut the game down, bro. Look R8,.
Speaker 2:King Kendrick.
Speaker 1:So he is Now hold on.
Speaker 2:Before we get to where we're about to go now. King Kendrick, so he is Now. Hold on Before we get to To where we about to go now.
Speaker 1:I wanna stay on Kendrick, just for one I wanna get to your point. Nah, I'm with you. I wanna stay on this.
Speaker 2:As well. Alright, so we know what's going on, right, and we gonna get to what's going on. My million dollar question is, kendrick, what are you going to do? Obviously, you took the torch. Now the attention is on you.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:What are you going to do? That's the million dollar question. Are you going to do? That's the million dollar question. Are you going to play fool To the industry games or are you going to stay who you are? Because that's the most important thing About this? Because now, at this point, when I'm looking at how the game is being played, at this point it's I don't feel like you can come out, or anybody can come out, with anything. That's not Saying some kind of meaning. And one thing I know about these labels and the music industry Is they have ways of Having tactics to make you Do things that may not be Of your cloth.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And also From a business standpoint how do you move the million dollar? Question to me is what is Kendrick going to do with the torch? I think we know though Well we can't say that because at a certain point, which I'm pretty sure we're about to get into it we thought that Drake was going to do the right thing.
Speaker 1:Did we? I mean like, honestly, like, did we though?
Speaker 2:I believe that he did Because when you take projects like so far gone, you would think that the route that he took Wouldn't have been the route that he took, wouldn't have been the route that he's taken.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We didn't know that he would do the things that he was gonna do. So my only it's not even a worry, because I feel what you're saying, but my thought process is when, in the next 10 years, how are we going to look at Kendrick?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because I don't believe that he would do X, y and Z, but I didn't believe that Drake would have as well. Right, it.
Speaker 1:I just my thing is, I just didn't think with Drake to carry the torch Because Kendrick and Cole came. They was right behind him when it came to that generation.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying. This generation, the 2010s dog, those are the three for sure. But me personally, I didn't expect Drake to carry the torch and do all these magnum. Like I said, I lost hope after Views. After Views, I said I don't know.
Speaker 2:Nah, but before Views we had a certain depiction of who Drake was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Some people argue number one and I wasn't mad at that. Yeah, at that moment, yeah, like, think me later, not think me later, not think me later. I'm sorry, nothing was the same. I said okay. Okay, if you want to have number one, that's fine. There's a clear three Cole, kendrick, drake. Like it was no order. However you want to put it, nigga 1ABC. I agree it's all about.
Speaker 2:What your preference was In 2013, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But at this point I feel like kenji looks like this right now it's, it's he took the throne, bro.
Speaker 1:It's like what? And I remember I think I told you this before. I told you this already think about wrestling. Think about wb for a minute when you're okay. So we grew up in the Attitude Era. Obviously, rock, stone Cold, shea Blades, all these guys. You're great when you don't have to hold the belt, when you don't need the belt around your waist as a champion and you still getting a lot of love and popularity. People fuck with you. You know you're doing something great. You can operate as not being the number one person with the championship belt. So when you but you have other people that don't know how it feels without the belt, they operate different, they move different. They feel like once they lose that number one spot, oh, they feel like all hell breaks loose. They feel like the war is about to end. Kendrick is not the type of guy. He don't need the championship belt. Once they lose that number one spot, oh, they feel like, oh, hell breaks loose.
Speaker 2:They feel like the war is about to end Right.
Speaker 1:Kendrick is not the type of guy. He don't need the championship belt. He can just take that bitch from you. You know what I'm saying? Right, and you look at Drake right now, what's happening right now in his mind and to the general public. They don't listen to hip-hop all the time, don't? Just they, just the general public right they looked at drake as the number one guy in the game, right. So now, for the first time, those same people that looked at him at number one it's not looking at him number one they're looking at kendrick now and they're saying, oh, I think it's kendrick 9.
Speaker 1:You know 69, they singing, not Like Us, everywhere. Now it's mainstream Superman Nigga going to win Song of the Year in the Grammys. Right, he don't know how to operate without the championship built around his waist.
Speaker 2:Well, that's because and I think we had this conversation before I feel like the Drake fan base aren't particularly Hip hop Fans. More pop fans yeah, they're more pop fans, but they have a different Depiction of what hip hop is Right Like. I've had this conversation With a couple people and they're like what is hip hop culture? And for you to even Ask that question, that means that you're not hip hop. Yeah, you know what I mean. So you got a lot of people that don't understand hip hop in itself and what it means and what's the pure origin of what it is, that have a lot of opinions and things of that nature because their king is, I mean, I'm sorry to say it, but he's falling.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But the reason why you even look at it like that, because we were all looking at this battle as if not. I can say me like this I wasn't looking at it as Kendrick is hip hop and Drake ain't, and I wasn't saying that. I was looking at it as a standpoint of you got two hip hop artists. That's going heads up and it's cool Because that's what hip hop is Right. When we look at Some of the greatest and this is why I say I feel like Kendrick is probably the greatest of all time Music, morale, stance and battle, how many, how many you talk about what did Drake say?
Speaker 2:He said he got War Medallions Cause he's a war veteran. My thing is the only thing for Kendrick at this point Medallions Cause he's a war veteran. Oh my god, dude. My thing is the only thing for Kendrick at this point Because he had classic albums. The morale was on point. He stood up for the people. The only thing he was missing was taking down a giant and he did that. Yo and Nobody else, when it comes to Looking at his resume, has the same resume. Jay-z's, my favorite rapper of all time. He has hella misses. Kendrick ain't got a miss.
Speaker 2:I don't care for who you are when you look back at even people talk about missing morale. I'm a father, I'm a husband, I'm a man. I'm a husband, I'm a man. When I go back and listen to these records, this is things that I think about In a daily basis and this is my opinion. Akil, when it came to Drake, we couldn't live through His discography, because I'm not fucking with Little girls, no more. And when I say little girls, I'm not speaking from Pedophile standpoint, but I'm not fucking with 26 years old.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I got a child, I got a wife. I'm not in the club, no more.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He didn't allow his Audience to grow with him. So now these records Don't mean too much to us, because you still trying to stay young.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. So when I look at Hip hop and I look at that battle and I look at Both of their resumes we were looking at it from an objective standpoint, man it's an obvious winner.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it's okay, because, at the end of the day, after that battle, we were still looking at Drake. Well, at least I was still looking at Drake for who Drake was. Yeah, I feel like, after these petitions, after these the defamation I've never seen, I've never seen anything like this, which I understand it on a different level when it comes to his purpose of doing it now, but if we're just looking at it for what it is, from a hip-hop standpoint, not like us has to be the greatest, this record of all time it has to be and I'm not disagreeing.
Speaker 1:And, as I said, pick, pick, pick your poison if you want not like us, if you want euphoria, if you want. Euphoria is slept on, bro. I don't see how, though that's my thing. It's like Euphoria was the one that was the. A lot of people say they like Euphoria more than I like us. I do Like.
Speaker 2:I don't know what else, motherfucker. Even when it came down to Meet the Grams, he dissected this man, meet the Grams we seen Okay.
Speaker 3:Oh, my God, I was.
Speaker 2:Dissected this man we seen. Okay, hold on, can we get to this list? Okay, I got a list. I have a list. I have a list. It's perfect. I told you Earlier there's a list Of niggas you do not fuck with. They're too. They are too Strategic and too Surgical. You leave the motherfuckers alone. I never get. And he's on my list. When Drake Went Heads up With With Pusha T, I told, I told everybody. I said when Drake Went Heads up With With Pusha T, I told, I told everybody. I said he better not respond, just leave, let him just talk. Don't go heads up With this man. That's one of them niggas you leave alone. Let him do whatever the fuck he gonna do. Pusha T Is one of them ones. He got too much Time on his hands and he's too Fucking good and he don't Give a fuck. Leave him alone.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That told me Everything I need to know About Drake when it came down To a hip hop standpoint.
Speaker 1:What was the list you talking about?
Speaker 2:Alright, so my list, my list Kendrick.
Speaker 1:And no order. What you talking about? No order, as far as oh.
Speaker 2:Leave that motherfucker alone.
Speaker 1:And that means to the people, to the people that don't know Is Don't bark up that tree. That tree will fall on you. Leave that motherfucker alone.
Speaker 2:And that means to the people, to the people that don't know is Don't bark up that tree, that tree will fall on you.
Speaker 1:So we talking about hey, don't fuck with these motherfuckers in a beef or a In a rap beef.
Speaker 2:Leave him alone, Don't even Unless you ready to go to war. Shit him, her Shit there's some hers out there that you don't want to fuck with, leave them alone.
Speaker 3:Do not fuck with them.
Speaker 1:If you're not ready.
Speaker 2:I would say now Okay, all the time. That's a nice little list, yeah.
Speaker 1:But right now RP Demexus. He was on my list. Shit, leave them alone. Jay Z didn't wanna see him, yeah.
Speaker 4:Man.
Speaker 2:Another nigga from back in the day Big L. I feel like Big L Would have tore a nigga ass up.
Speaker 1:That's the biggest what up For hip hop? Yes.
Speaker 2:Okay, now my list. Right now Kendrick, pusha T, benny the Butcher, conway the Machine. And I had one more Jadakiss, jadakiss, jadakiss. Leave them niggas alone. Leave them alone, don't, even If they fuck with you. Or Let them niggas slide, cause you.
Speaker 1:Eminem.
Speaker 2:Oh Eminem too, yeah, nah Eminem. Oh Eminem too yeah, nah Eminem. Look kind of weak Against Machine Gun Kelly.
Speaker 1:See, that's what me and you disagree. I'll take it, eminem he, I'm going to tell you why. Look what happened after.
Speaker 3:The beef.
Speaker 1:It just was a struggle. It was like a dirt off the shoulder. Eminem dropped an album this year and it did what it had to do and it was a good album.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm saying Like, because it didn't. It didn't affect Eminem.
Speaker 4:I agree the shield was too.
Speaker 1:It was unbreakable. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, like For some people that probably dove Into Probably dove into that beef Maybe, but that didn't.
Speaker 2:See, but that that's the same thing that you would say About Pusha T against Drake.
Speaker 1:Only reason why, the only reason why I wouldn't. I wouldn't Because Pusha T, he delivered a blow, because he Told the story of Adonis.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying and, to be honest with you, that's upwards Of the top 10, this raw, oh nigga. You know what I'm saying and, to be honest with you, that's upwards Of. The top 10 Disavowal oh nigga.
Speaker 1:That's in the top 5-7. Like, yeah, it's Some of the greatest. Disavowal time has to move over. Like we could take it All the way back to when Kara is one. The bridge is falling.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying, like we could take it from that the bridge is over.
Speaker 1:The bridge is over. I'm sorry, the bridge is over. There's some distance that had to Move with this era, so we got the same. I'll say Kendrick Em, beanie Siegel. Jadakiss 50 Damn I forgot about 50.
Speaker 2:I might have to switch Jadakiss out for 50. 50, damn, I forgot about 50. Yes, push it. I might have to switch Jadakiss out for 50, I might 50 and J.
Speaker 1:You don't want to mess with Down the beef.
Speaker 2:Well, 50, 50 Killed niggas, careers, you just saying that shit Cause I take Jadakiss Over J Cole, j Cole, j Cole ain't killed a soul?
Speaker 1:Here's a question. This is a real question. But here's a question, though this is a real last question Just hip hop, not talking about just music, because we already know music Drake is going to be pop, he's going to be in other genres. Did Kendrick do drake worse than?
Speaker 2:what 50 did jaru? Just hip-hop. I'm not talking about house pop and r&b. Yeah, I'm sorry I do because I feel like even with jaru jaru did. He stopped Because he had a lot of Legal Situation going on and even after the beef he had hit records.
Speaker 1:He had New York. Yeah, he had New.
Speaker 2:York. He had Wonderful the record with him. R Kelly and Ashanti.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I feel like and there was still Some kind of respect For Ja Rule. I feel like you don't do that and still go platinum multiple times after that. If it was like that, I just feel like 50 Cent was just a bigger artist at that point.
Speaker 1:Yeah, way bigger artist. Yeah, and it was a wave.
Speaker 2:I feel like for Drake and how it looks. Even though I understand what he's trying to do, the look and the timing is horrible.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's horrible Because, basically, what it looks like with the defamation and the petition, it looks like as if Drake is like we playing the dozens and you like Nigga. I'm about to tell the teacher it's like nigga, we were playing the same game, so I got a question, uh huh.
Speaker 1:With him doing that. All the shit, all the street shit he was talking on Latest songs Is out the window now. Yeah, because now we're not going to believe. I mean definitely didn't believe you beginning, but now we definitely don't believe you now. Yeah, because all this no-facing mob ties and all this other stuff he was singing on songs, that's out the window because you went to the, you got courts involved, yeah it looks like you sued Because you lost a battle.
Speaker 1:You lost a battle. That's what, and that's why I said the timing, what you're doing. If it's a renegotiation, alright, cool, that's fine, you might be worth Than what you are. But at the same time, when you put out, oh well, shit, they use my money, they gonna use for me To put towards, not like us.
Speaker 2:Come on, man, this is a different fight now. Like what's funny is Kendrick was fighting a fight that it just so happened that all of it clashed together. If that makes sense, drake is fighting a different fight and we gonna see exactly what that fight is. Or if it's the fight that I think that it is, by how he handles the situation, because the petition is mainly to find out what I need to sue about. But also the issue with that is the fact that A lot of the things that he's suing about he's benefited from. To be honest with you, 90 to 100% of the people who signed to record labels have benefited from the same exact things. So these are not things. That's like. It's not far-fetched at all. We know how bots and things of that nature. Again, 90% of the artists In the music industry right now Use bots. It's a part of the industry. I've used bots. You know what I mean. Like it's not something that's not. It's not far-fetched. The issue is all right. What are you doing this for? Because the positive that can come into into play with all of this is if universal are all of, okay, let's get to fuck's.
Speaker 2:Cut to the case, to the chase If Universal is found guilty for what they're doing as far as from a payout standpoint. What that does is it exposes the entire industry to where now we have to rebuild. You tore it down for it to build up, which is an amazing thing, because you got the record labels Control the majority Of the share, the majority of the share Within the music industry, and when I say that I'm saying Okay, the listening share. The majority of them Are listening to Drake, taylor Swift, whoever it may be. If that happens and those tactics are not, are no longer being used now the independent Artist begins to be able To have a space to when they can grow. So now it's an open market, it's free enterprise. At that point, yeah.
Speaker 2:That's the benefit Of it all. But If he settles, that's the benefit of it all, but If he settles, it continues. So now, at that point, the shit that he's saying is if, hey, I'm here tubbing Right, I'm trying to free all the artists.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's not in void, because you just took a check and we still in the same Boat that we've been in For the past Forever.
Speaker 1:Yo, you know what I mean. That's really what it is it's like and, as I said, the timing of it I'm not.
Speaker 2:My thing is it's Okay if you want to Renegotiate, but my thing is it's Okay if you want to renegotiate, but it but here's the thing though he If let's say he did it From a standpoint of Alright, let me kill Some of this noise he actually added on to it Because Now, like us, this is up 400%.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So that's why I say what was your purpose To doing all of this? If your purpose is From a renegotiating standpoint To where it's beneficial to you, cool. But the thing is the way the media Is making it sound as if You're doing something From a civil standpoint that will help others Like you're sacrificing yourself so others can win.
Speaker 2:We gonna see yeah, we're going to see Very soon. If he goes through with it the right way, this will be the most important moment in music history. And I'm not just talking from a history, a hip-hop standpoint, I'm speaking from a music business industry standpoint. This will be huge because now the power is not in one place, now it's an even playing field to an extent so was this the red button he was talking about?
Speaker 1:yeah, so it wasn't a red button Towards Kendrick, it was a red button Towards him.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying. It's two different fights. It's two different fights and that's what the main reason why I say, even when it come to Kendrick Now it's your turn. Now the question is, what are you gonna do? That's the most important Moment, in my opinion, for a Kendrick. What are you gonna do now? Are you gonna set it straight? Because now you have the power, you're the king, you have the power to control everything. Because now All the conscious artists Are starting to come back into fold, which I've been saying for years. I knew the consciousness Was gonna come back, yeah, but how it was gonna come come back, no one knew. Because right now, this is what we need.
Speaker 2:What is going to happen.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because all this shit is a revolving door. We've been here before, whether you know it or not. We just haven't been in a situation To where the music industry Is being Exposed. That's what. That's the most important Part of all of this shit.
Speaker 1:Yo.
Speaker 2:Fuck the beef. The beef is over. It was gonna happen, regardless. But, at the same time, drake is so important Within all of this Because he controls so much of the market, the market share. What are you going to do? Are you going to, if we're being completely honest, are you going to sell everybody out for a check? Or are you going to stand on business and expose this whole game and make it an even playing field? And not even it won't ever be an even playing field, but it won't be as Fucked up as it is now.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because all of these things that he's saying, he's used From the, from the payola, from the, the, the bots, all of these things, what are you gonna do? Yeah we about to see some shit and if you give a fuck about music, pay attention if you don't enjoy the ride right, that's really what it is at this point, because now, with everything about to happen, it's like shit we could body.
Speaker 1:We might be thinking drake later, remember that album, thank me later.
Speaker 2:We might be like to be, if he plays his car, if he plays his cars the right way, hey, you gotta give him his, just do. The only thing I would say is Everything makes sense If he's doing what I think he's doing, from the 100 gigs To Posting on Instagram it all makes sense. Now he wants to get out that deal. Well, it's not only that. He has to gauge exactly what the numbers do, what's real and what's fake. Right, you can't fake Certain shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So if I do certain shit and people come, a gives me leverage From a renegotiating Standpoint, and then B, you can't tell me what I can and can't do, because I'm watching it, I'm looking at it live Exactly. It's. It's collecting data, it's gaining all the information that I need to go forward. It all makes sense now. All of this shit makes so much sense now.
Speaker 1:So are we at a conclusion now With what Drake did, or we're saying it's more. It's more like Okay, so we On a percentage wise what Drake did. Or we're saying it's more like okay, so percentage-wise what Drake did. Or we're saying, at this point, now that we see where he's coming from, more so than like, ah, drake acting like a Karen, which side are we leaning on more at this point? Is it 55-45? No, I see what he's saying yeah, I see what he's saying, just the timing of it it.
Speaker 2:I feel like the timing Of it just fucked up, but I feel like For the greater good, if he's thinking this is that's what I'm saying. We won't know until later on. Are you thinking about the greater good or are you just thinking On some caring shit?
Speaker 1:That you lost some, that you lost a battle. Exactly which one is it?
Speaker 2:I don't know. That's the thing. I don't know. I'm leaning more toward the greater good, because I feel like he comes from a. The people that back him Come from an independent standpoint, so they understand the tricks of the trade, of what's going on.
Speaker 1:Here's what I'm lost at, though, because when you my thing I'm lost at Is that you went out and said that they literally your own label Literally tried to say that they artificially Inflated the song. Basically, what you're saying Is that the song isn't what it is, which it clearly is Well, it benefits.
Speaker 2:It benefits UMG, because it's renegotiation time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2:So with renegotiation you don't want to pay any more than what you already paid. The man's got a $400 million deal. You think they want to pay $600? And on top of that you're trying to go independent. Yeah, and on top of that You're trying to go independent Yo. You control the majority share Of the music industry. Larry Jackson said this man. His catalog Is worth more than the 70s, 80s and 90s Put together, Including Michael.
Speaker 1:Yes oh, is it my Including Michael? Yes, oh we talking about Drake's catalog. Yes, his catalog is worth more than that.
Speaker 2:Yes, but the thing is, UMG created that Right With the things that they, that he's suing them for.
Speaker 1:The music industry is.
Speaker 2:So if you leave here's the thing if you leave, because the thing If you leave Cause 9 out of 10. I believe that Drake Is trying to leave With his shit. If you leave, you take the majority Of the share Of the music industry, so that UMG doesn't have the leverage that they usually have and they ain't gonna like that.
Speaker 1:Exactly that. We know, nigga. We seen how shit Ends with that. I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say nothing, but we know how that shit ends.
Speaker 2:So that's why I keep saying it's a game within the game, because Kendrick is fighting a different fight than Drake is fighting.
Speaker 1:Drake is fighting. Kendrick wants to be the top.
Speaker 2:Drake is fighting. Drake is fighting. Kendrick wants to be the top of hip hop. No, kendrick wants to Change the narrative. Of what hip hop?
Speaker 1:is yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Drake, don't give a fuck About hip hop.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:Drake is thinking more From an ownership standpoint, which is cool. Yeah, I agree with that. But don't think for a second that they you still a nigga, yeah, you still a nigga, slash jew. They don't look at that. They looking at you being a nigga. You think we about to let what the cal mcnair say? Let the prisoners run the yard. Yeah, run the yard, yeah no, this is a bigger game and I I feel like all independent artists need to be paying attention to what's going on for the next year or two.
Speaker 4:Because it's going to get.
Speaker 2:If he gives a fuck, he's not going to settle for what they're going to try to pay, Because at this point I give you a billion dollars or whatever you're asking for. Yeah billion dollars or whatever. Whatever you asking for, yeah to be to stay, for us to continue to own your catalog, because we're not going to give you ownership for this shit but remember, when I asked you that question this week, I said with about the mold, who is the true mold in this whole thing?
Speaker 1:and I said lucien grange.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, you kept saying scissor, yeah I feel like it could be both but I'm like man, now that everything's playing out, it might be lucian I feel like both of them, but then at the same time, with me looking at it like that, I'm it's yeah it's gonna be interesting, bro. It is because then at that point, anybody could look at Kendrick differently. In which way? In a way of Are you playing industry games as well, which I know that he's not, but the average person Wouldn't look at it in that standpoint.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He has his own mission. That he's on. It's not the same, but the average person wouldn't look at it like Academics type of motherfucker Wouldn't look at it like that. They would look at it as your entire Industry. But you're playing this role. That is like no.
Speaker 4:This is different.
Speaker 2:This is not that. That's why I keep saying and and that's another thing, bro, we got. Please, man, enjoy the music. Just enjoy the music, bro. The beef was the beef. You can like both. I love Drake's music. Well, his past music I like his past music?
Speaker 1:yeah, for sure, but you can like both, yeah, we can't.
Speaker 2:If it's, is it good, if it's bad, that's all you need To think about. Fuck all that other shit that y'all talking about. Bro Cause, a lot of shit Y'all talking about Don't make sense at all. Like, yeah, enjoy the music, that's all you can do At this point.
Speaker 2:It's about to get real, though. It's about to get real, and I'm here for it, because if you're an independent artist, man, this is show time. Let's just Keep doing what you're doing, but just pay attention, because if Drake does what he's supposed to do the right thing we're going to have a whole new ball game. If he don't, it's the same shit. Basically it's the same shit, and it's going to look bad on him. In my opinion, it's going to be interesting.
Speaker 1:Do you think?
Speaker 2:But after that, do you feel like Drake Can still do what Drake does In hip hop? Yeah, just in general. In music, yes, hip hop, no. After that, do you feel like Drake can still do what Drake does In hip-hop?
Speaker 1:Yeah, just in general In music yes, hip-hop no. Only because of what transpired lately with the court. You can't talk about the same stuff, like I said earlier, like mob ties and all these other things. You can't do that on your songs. Now can you go to do an album with gordo all day long easily but I feel like that, I think that still hurts him. I still think it hurts him I don't think his next album will hit number one. I don't either because that that it's gonna take a hit I don't know especially what you did to umg.
Speaker 2:Oh, umg is definitely not gonna let you get number one man y'all about to see so much smut because here's the thing.
Speaker 1:Now you're talking about the box thing we remember we talked about. Like yo did. You just expose yourself saying that you use boss on circle. I used to have this theory. Every time I said, dog, look at the last time, look at the last time Drake had a song by himself. That was a true, like you heard. We all heard Like okay, this is a, this is a hit. I like okay, this is a true.
Speaker 2:By himself. The last one I heard was God's Plan.
Speaker 1:Bro, that was seven years ago, almost a decade.
Speaker 2:Even with God's Plan, I feel like it was.
Speaker 1:It was a little forced? Yeah, it was not even a little, it was a little forced. Yeah, it wasn't even a little, it was forced. You know what I'm saying? So, that's what I'm saying, so my whole thing is when you take away the box, hold on.
Speaker 2:But here's the thing. It makes sense because that's when he just signed the $400 million deal.
Speaker 1:At the time yeah.
Speaker 2:So as a label, I can't let this fail. We just put $400 million in this cake. It's a tricky game, man. Michigan Street's crazy.
Speaker 1:It's a tricky game, god damn, because the people and that's why I say we talked about G and X like he put out 12. He put out a 12 song album, 12 track album. He didn't Surprise. He let the people determine what's gonna be those hits. The people determine.
Speaker 2:Squabble up tv off and luther but kendrick always does it every time yeah, yeah even the last album we knew. I told niggas in 95 was gonna be the single. Before it was a single, but damn he did do.
Speaker 1:Uh, umble umble was the one that the single before it was a single, but damn, he did do. Umble Umble was the one that came up before the album. Yeah, he dropped the video. Yeah, because the video came up before the song.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying. So he was like okay, surprise video.
Speaker 2:But here's the thing I feel like he's just gotten to the point to where he's able to put out surprise albums.
Speaker 1:Was that the first time he did like a surprise something when he dropped Umber Cause? I feel like Umber was the first time he did like A random drop. It was a video and I think that was the first time he started doing that shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, I know I wasn't tripping.
Speaker 2:Damn, that was a good ass album.
Speaker 1:Damn was cold that was a good-ass album, Bro he.
Speaker 3:I mean how?
Speaker 2:do you want to rank his albums bro?
Speaker 1:Like a year from now.
Speaker 2:We're going to rank, but it's the artistic. He just, he's just the greatest bro, he's a great. He's Jay and Nas put together, jay and Nas, he's all the greats in one body.
Speaker 1:I think you're going to piss on people off when you say that I don't give a fuck. You're going to piss off J-Kol fans. They'll be like man. J-kol deserved to be in that ranking man. J-kol ain't did enough I like J-Kol, but it's just not enough moments. That's my only thing.
Speaker 2:In my opinion, J Cole is one-dimensional. He's great at being one-dimensional. Well see, that's when we disagree on that.
Speaker 1:J Cole's great.
Speaker 2:No, I ain't say he's not great. He's great at being one-dimensional.
Speaker 1:He can wrap his ass off. I just think Kenzie's a separate.
Speaker 2:That's why Jay-Z told Drake hey, get him one. I understand it. It's not a knock to him. He's amazing, he can wrap his ass off. But when we talk about all right, here's the thing with J Cole that he loses to Kendrick. I think he's better at this. He's better at it than Drake is. J Cole's albums don't always Hit the mark. Which one? So? J Cole makes Great records, but when it comes to creating a concise Album, that's Just you Under Novel. We know it's a classic. You Other than 2014, forest Hill Drive. You tell me another album that was just a classic Under novel. That's my classic.
Speaker 1:What else? Friday Night Lights, that's a mixtape, what else?
Speaker 2:Born Center. Born Center is not a classic, hey.
Speaker 1:It's a you know what it is.
Speaker 2:Put it like this Does he have better? And I'm only comparing them Because this has been the conversation. Does he have better, and I'm only Comparing them Because this has been the conversation. Does he have better albums Than Kendrick? Yeah, does he have better albums Than Drake? They neck and neck, in my opinion, shit.
Speaker 1:Me personally. I think J Cole got better albums. You can say that. But Preference, just preference.
Speaker 2:Drake got so far gone, shit Me personally I think J Cole got better albums. You can say that, but Preference, just preference. Drake got so Far Gone which you can put Friday Night.
Speaker 1:Lights, friday Night Lights, compared to Take Care, no, no, no, thank Me Later. Sideline Store Thank Me Later. Was his first album. Sideline Store was his first album. I'm talking about Take Care. Oh, that's going to get boring. Oh, Take Care is better than Boring Center. Nothing was the same Versus 2014.
Speaker 3:Oh God damn.
Speaker 1:Now we talking. Now that's a conversation. Nothing was the same, because I think nothing was the same, and 2014 is a classic. I agree, that's their junior albums. But, nah Shit yeah, it's they junior albums. But Nah Shit yeah, it's they junior albums.
Speaker 2:Hold on, take it later.
Speaker 1:Take care, nothing was the same. That's the first three. J Cole's first three is Sideline Born Center, then 2014, bro, 2014 and nothing was the same.
Speaker 2:That's a Tough one, woo. I don't care what you say. That's a tough one, woo. I don't care what you say.
Speaker 1:That's a tough one. That is, that's tough Nigga. That's they junior albums bro. That's tough, because nothing was the same man, look. So here's the thing. Now we get into a different discussion, because now we're not comparing, because we already agreed that Kendrick's already here. When it comes to the three, yeah, as far as just everything.
Speaker 2:But it's-.
Speaker 3:Now.
Speaker 2:Drake and Cole's catalog is similar. How long it's been like that. It's been like that, if we're being completely honest. It's been like that. He's been the better between the two, the three, since the beginning.
Speaker 1:If you really look back, if you take away the noise and public perception, if you just listen to music.
Speaker 2:It's been better. Quality wise, you have to crown this man as the greatest, even when it came to the battling I knew. I told niggas Straight up Dre don't wanna to see that. Nigga Don't even ignore him, cold Ignore him, because obviously we see you not willing to go as far as he is.
Speaker 1:This ain't cut his grandma off nigga. Nigga told his grandma Nigga, you gotta go.
Speaker 2:So now y'all fighting for In reality, y'all fighting for two.
Speaker 1:In reality. Yeah, their catalog is more similar than Kendrick's compared to yeah, cause Kendrick really hasn't. You try to find a miss Like. Ah, you see, like you seen on social media, people try to find a miss. Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 4:Boom, you've seen on social media. People try to find a miss in a song. Yeah, you can. Boom, bop bam.
Speaker 1:You finally trying to find something Like with them two? Their catalog is more similar. Yes, you know what I'm saying. Yes Because think about it now we had to struggle between. Nothing was the same in 2014. And that's very tough, and but after that was wrapping his ass off but I will say this after that cold shit on his catalogs though kod um, for your eyes only um I ain't like for your eyes only I didn't like it, but I like it more than I liked CLB.
Speaker 2:I have to go back and listen to it, Quality-wise, like I'm not. Well, now you got to think about Scorpion. Was Scorpion better than For your Eyes Only?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll take that.
Speaker 2:No with Views. Was Views better than For your Eyes?
Speaker 1:Only I feel about Views. It let me down, but I will take Views over, for your Eyes Only, though. Take views over four yards only, though, but all seasons off season is better than clb, and for all the dolls put together, I agree easily. Nigga might delete later is one of my top five albums of the year, like I agree, bro, oh my god. Yeah, back half j cole versus back half drake, oh please but we not.
Speaker 2:But okay, one thing though, kid we can't sit here and make it seem like Drake ain't Coming for shit.
Speaker 1:No, I'm talking about the back, I'm just talking about Past Post Scorpion I. Just Post Scorpion, that's all I'm saying Like Versus a J Cole when that catalog Is. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I don't want to get Too off the rails. So if you're saying like post, because a lot of artists sometimes when they hit a certain album and after that they kind of like whatever, are we taking 2020 to 2024 Drake or 2020 to 2024 Kanye, I'm taking Drake. Over Kanye's latest catalogs?
Speaker 2:Yeah, Okay, kanye ain't been the same since Fucking I just know these allegations With the court orders.
Speaker 1:Niggas owe me an apology.
Speaker 2:Life of Pablo.
Speaker 1:You don't like the shit With Tyler Sons.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Is it cause the expectation we had with Kanye Will be first seen To now, or you ain't like Donda. Donda was tough man. Donda is one of my Favorite albums, dog. Donda is amazing. Donda was amazing, fucking amazing amazing but over God breathes his soul. That's one of my favorite songs In the past five years.
Speaker 2:Okay, was Donda better than CLB?
Speaker 1:Yes, donda was hard. Donda man man, come on Moon with Kid Cudi and Don Toliver Bro. I, I'm quality over quantity dog, like that happened bro.
Speaker 2:For me. I was a Kanye fan. I'm a college dropout, graduation, my beautiful, dark, twisted fantasies. I didn't too much like Life of Pablo.
Speaker 1:Life of Pablo. Life of Pablo Bro. I'm taking 2020-2024 Kanye over Over Drake. I like Yeezus Past five years, I'm taking Kanye Still.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Donda was tough, I personally would take.
Speaker 2:I personally would take Drake 2020 Through 2020.
Speaker 1:So the past five years you taking Drake over. Kanye was tough man, I don't know. Votes was one, was I mean shit like I don't know. Bro, kanye was tough. Kanye past five years was tough Like you taking Drake Shit dog that Donda was cool, you know, it killed bias's head Nah it's not that, niggas, I'm in apology, bro. After the court orders. Once I saw that court order I said oh nigga, my ranking is nigga. This shit is aging.
Speaker 2:Hold on. Before we get into it, let me use the restroom.
Speaker 1:That's fine. Ah, huh, uh. No, I think he can hit it. No, he can hit it though.
Speaker 3:How much percent is this?
Speaker 1:20 percent, oh I don't know if it's right here. Not too bad, hey, what's the minute?
Speaker 3:Does it?
Speaker 1:say minutes on there. All right, hold on I to put up my notes real quick, alright, look at Daryl over here. Look at.
Speaker 3:Daryl, all right.
Speaker 2:All right, come on you, good yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, nah, I'm just saying Niggas don't mean to apologize, bro With that ranking bro. That shit aging like fine wine, bro. After them, court orders, bro, okay, okay, okay. Let's look back at the rankings Like real talk. Let's look back at the rankings. That shit aging like fine wine After them, court orders, bro, okay, okay. Let's look back at the rankings Like real talk. Let's look back at the rankings To now. Everything that transpired.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's looking bad. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:It's looking bad, I ain't gonna lie to you. So I might be right right now, yeah Now. But the question is Does he even give a fuck?
Speaker 2:No, I might be right right now, yeah, now. But the question is, does he even give a fuck?
Speaker 1:No, that's the whole point. He don't give a fuck to be the greatest rapper of all time, he wants to be the greatest artist.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what you know. What See, I don't want to keep talking about Drake this whole time. I'll move on, because Remember that song he did, he? He was like I'm one hit away from Michael Jackson, beat it, or whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 2:See, but even Saying that, I feel like Bro, but it's a different time, bro like. It's a different. We talking about you, talking about hits, when we start talking about Wreck-It-Sold you know what it's like.
Speaker 1:Huh, bro, thriller is what you know what it's like.
Speaker 2:Huh Bro Thriller is what? How many times? The diamond Thriller is the most.
Speaker 1:High end silver album Of all time. Yeah, and you have to go To the store to buy the album Exactly.
Speaker 2:It's a different. This is a different Ball game you know?
Speaker 1:Remember when James Harden Became second greatest Three point shooter Of all time on the list? Are we gonna sit here and say he's a better three-point shooter than Ray Allen Reggie Miller?
Speaker 4:Clay Thompson.
Speaker 1:It's not the same. You know what I mean.
Speaker 4:It's not the same. So I'm like, come on bro.
Speaker 1:Like okay, you're number two on the list, but are you a greater shooter than these? I'm still taking these niggas as shooters over you. So when it comes to oh I to, oh, I beat michael jackson's hit records, nigga, you not. You don't have more quality hits than michael. You don't have more quality hits than god damn who was on. Who was who else. He beat the beatles. Nah, that's not my time. But michael jackson, bro, come on, that. That's, that's the whole point. Like, nah, bro, I don't give a fuck about that shit. So we'll just see where it goes from here.
Speaker 1:I just don't think it's mixed with the core order. I said it it's mixed With the core order. It's very mixed, but that's just how everything is right now. Everything has changed. That's just how everything is right now. Everything has changed. But I do want to touch on what y'all talked about in the group. I was doing a lot of things earlier with Texans. Real quick, just briefly. I don't want to talk about too much, because there's a pie chart and I think we got a fucking break right now. We got the bye coming up.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I think everybody needs to Simmer down a little bit, because you gonna put that, you gonna say that Y'all niggas got problems With flushing toilets. Bro, you gonna put that you gonna say that, bro, we are recording right now. I did flush the toilet, cut this shit out. Yeah, like bro. That's how you know. Darlene, don't fuck with me.
Speaker 1:But I want to tell you this, bro All right, I think everybody's like in this fucking panic mode type shit, and people want to blame one, not the other, and all this, all this, let's just all agree. There's a pie chart of blame to go through with the Texans Slowick, the O-line coach, the O-line, and Stroud, and 2-5% is D'Amico. Okay, I seen what y'all talking about earlier. I seen what y'all talking about in the group earlier. In the group message. Bro, it is a collective blame that has to go around. Let's just call it what it is, bro. Everybody got to get some type of blame.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I'm saying, like, we got to remember Hold on, hold on Before you get. My problem was they was trying to blame the defense.
Speaker 1:Who Well, and they played better than the Titans last week they let Cheek a corner run for 70 yards.
Speaker 2:How much can you expect them to? They let Cheek Aquano run for 70 yards. How much can you expect them to? They held it down as much as you can. God damn, I know what the fuck you want. They scored a touchdown, didn't they score a touchdown on defense?
Speaker 1:I forgot. I know they got a pick.
Speaker 2:They got a couple turnovers. What more can you ask from these niggas? They tired, I know they just had a game Monday night, I know.
Speaker 1:Trust me, I know they handling they business. So, and that's what I'm saying, I think there's a lot of things we forget Stroud, second year. Slowick, second year, tunsil. Gotta go Get his ass out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we gotta trade his ass Please.
Speaker 1:I don't give a fuck. If it's a rookie, we gotta draft Get rid of him. Okay, like Him and his past, poor boys can go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cause his Leadership is Minimal.
Speaker 1:You, don't get paid that much To Do what the shit You're doing.
Speaker 2:When the last time Y'all seen CJ Stroud Get sacked and them niggas come and help him up?
Speaker 1:Today, right Today, if they ain't helping up Stroud, that's a problem.
Speaker 2:I done seen him get pushed in the out of bounds and him arguing with niggas and O-line ain't nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1:Cause the O-line is soft? Yeah, it's not. They don't have enough. They ain't got no Trent Williams or Deion Dawkins or PA Sewell Like you know, it's just not, eh, cookie cutter O-line. You know, but I will say this, though I'm not expecting them to Get out the first round, because one of the three teams Is going to be the Ravens Chargers Steelers.
Speaker 2:I think they might get out the first round, but they're not going no further than the second.
Speaker 1:That first going to be. If they get the first round, I won't be shocked. But that second round, no deal. It's to the point where nah, that's done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just think it's a reset. It needs to be a reset, it needs to be a reset, it needs to be a reset, it needs to be a reset. I feel like CJ Stroud. It's crazy Because even from the beginning Of the season we were all saying the same exact things Like damn, they're not connected On all cylinders right now. Even that first game we was like Mmm who said that, akil right.
Speaker 1:I did say 14-3, yo. I'm thinking, if I'm 10-7, strauss and Slow is rookie year. And you add Mixon, daniel, hunter, diggs. I'm like, well, shit, okay. Well, I'm expecting you to get to three, four losses next year and you get a first one or two seed. I agree, I'm expecting that, but the way everything played out it's like, oh shit, these dudes here is.
Speaker 2:It's a problem but I feel like it's more of a? Um, I don't think that they all I think. One thing I do feel I feel like Stephon Diggs Is Is Is Missed. Like you can tell Stephon Diggs ain't around, because I feel like that O-line His leadership dog. Yeah, like I don't feel like they're listening to CJ Shroud.
Speaker 1:There's a leader, though, there's the guy going to get the ride on. He's that guy.
Speaker 2:I feel like when he was in Buffalo they felt a certain type of way about him, mainly because they didn't want to hear what he's saying, because Josh Allen was trying to be that voice and Stephon Diggs was that voice. So there's an issue, I feel like, with the Texans. Because of his experience, everybody listened to him in the locker room.
Speaker 1:You need a dog on the team.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think they listen to CJ Shroud right.
Speaker 1:Who's the dog on the offense right now?
Speaker 2:Nobody.
Speaker 1:Mixon, I mean Mixon. Mixon is the one that's talking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I feel like the O-line Mixon ain't going to get on your ass like Stephon.
Speaker 1:Diggs is going to get on your ass. And I never thought Diggs was a diva, I just thought. I think that was a bad persona.
Speaker 2:That's fine Walk away, then nigga, that's fine. He ain't never liked Diggs. Hey, I ain't going to lie to you. I pray that that we can resign Diggs Huh.
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 2:Darla, where you going.
Speaker 1:Dang, he's going to the car.
Speaker 4:Well, I mean the experiences of what, like you said, he's got the experience of what.
Speaker 4:Losing a big game. Well, I mean no, no, no, so, so so it's just more like no, I just think, like I think CJ did a lot of commercials this summer, a lot of podcasting with Micah Parsons, but I just think, like I don't think this team needs that good barking. They just you like I don't think this team needs that barking. They just I think they're capable of playing with any team in the NFL when fully healthy. But I don't think the answer was talking. I just didn't think that the discipline of an O-line and everything else. I don't think it's about the barking, though, because I just think, like, if Stephon Diggs is your leader and your hype guy, I think you're in trouble. I personally believe that you're in trouble because, like, I can't, you can't tell me a guy that's going to lead me, but he hasn't led anybody. You force him because it just looks like you guys are saying that, but he forces his way out of Buffalo and it just looks like Buffalo is playing better without him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, josh Adams is better without him. Josh Adams is better without Diggs, because Diggs, exactly.
Speaker 4:Because I said, I've been always just a personal believer that when you're a high-caliber receiver like that, you guys want the ball so much.
Speaker 3:That's why I don't believe that it poised championships this past year when he was last year with.
Speaker 3:Buffalo. He didn't really hear him talk like that last year. He didn't, but when he got with the Texans, all right, I'm on my old third team. I can't be doing a lot nigga. I can't be saying wild stuff or being having an attitude. I'm going to be out the league, like this Brian was. I'm going to be out the league, so I'm going to take a leader. I'm going to be a leader. When he got traded over there offseason, he was working out with them. They was hanging out, they were kicking. They probably seen everything. They know what he do, his lifestyle.
Speaker 2:And he knows how to do the mic's work too. Yeah, but let me ask you a question what percentage of it do you feel like is more because he actually liked being with the Texans, to where he felt like, hey, let me coast these cats up To me?
Speaker 4:like Darlene said, I don't think it's picky-picky, I think it's that he knows that he better be on his best behavior, or he's going to be on the lead.
Speaker 2:I ain't going to lie to you. For some reason, I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 4:For some reason, like when you kind of when you get to a new environment and new thing. Obviously you've heard about what he's done in the past, so I don't know if it's a liking. I'm not like Would it help? Yeah, but like I don't think it's a coming down like we know that Diggs is almost out of his prime years. So I just, I truly believe.
Speaker 2:Okay, let me ask you. Okay, hold on, hold on. Has Diggs made his money? Yeah, he made his money. Do you think he gives a fuck about all that extra shit? I agree yeah he was when, young Miami, I was trying to have a you on the sideline?
Speaker 1:I've never seen him on the sideline yet. It's probably Aiden Hutchinson who was in the box. What was his year? What was this? It was in the suite. Wait so, wait. So this has never been on the sideline or in the box at all with the games. I don't know. He's out for a year, aiden Hutchinson? Yeah, aiden Hutchinson's out for the year until, if they go to the Super Bowl He'll play. No, aiden Hutchinson, but wait, diggs, has never been on the sideline for the games. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I ain't seen him Got to ask some questions, I got to ask some questions, but I don't think he expects to come back.
Speaker 2:I think he believes that he's going to get the big bag. Yeah, I'm not, but I don't think he expects to come back.
Speaker 3:I think he believes that he's going to get the big bag.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm not, which. I don't think he's going to get the big bag.
Speaker 1:I think they should Depends how the season ends. Like I said, it's not getting past the second round this year. It's not getting past the second round.
Speaker 1:Because, you're going to get a fourth seed. So when you're a fourth seed, you're going to play either the Ravens or Steelers, because one of them is going to be the fifth and one is going to be the second seed. Well, it looked like the Ravens in the first round, or the Chargers, right? My issue is that it's not going to be Stroud, it's going to be, more so the O-line. If you're going against the Chargers, that O-line is not blocking Bo Sam Khalil Mack. When you're going against the Steelers, you're not blocking fucking TJ White versus Titus Howard. Oh God, come on, stop that. That's not even Two and a half sacks, nigga, that's the over-under. Nigga. Two and a half sacks for TJ White? Yeah, that's not happening, bro. Like no, did you say? The O-line played good in the last three games, better, better, no, because then they fucked up Today's team game. We're going to get touchdowns.
Speaker 2:They fucked up last game, but we're playing fucking Jacksonville.
Speaker 1:They fucked up against Tennessee. Tennessee, yeah, tennessee, nico had a touchdown. They caught up Tunsil 78. Bring it back. Legal man downfield Cowboys. First play of the game Nico touchdown. Call it back 78. Tunsil no, fuck that.
Speaker 2:Shit, we lost the Tennessee game off of safety.
Speaker 1:They trying to call CJ Shaw Dan Oveloski man. That's different, bro. Dan wasn't even close. Nobody was close to that, nigga CJ Stroud, dan Oveloski man that's different, bro Dan. Dan wasn't even. Nobody was close to that. Nigga Stroud was getting pressured.
Speaker 2:And had to run out of bounds. There's not much you can do as soon as you get out the pocket, somebody right fucking there, they not even blocking the soul. I seen a nigga. I don't know what was the game before the Tennessee game Dallas, not, not Dallas. It was the game before the Tennessee game Dallas, not Dallas. It was another game before.
Speaker 1:Hold on.
Speaker 2:It was one of them games where a motherfucker literally went through the line and got to start.
Speaker 1:Oh, that was the Packers, the Lions, the Packers too, oh, the Packers too, with Titus Howard tripped, yeah, this nigga ain't get touched. They got some problems. Bro, it's gonna be some problems.
Speaker 2:And I you know what I'm afraid of, cause this is Houston activity. Them niggas ain't gonna do shit On the O-line. They gonna bring All them niggas back, cause even when they Resigned Titus Howard and all them motherfuckers, you remember when we Sat down with BNME?
Speaker 1:Oh, dj yo.
Speaker 2:When we sat down with him, I asked him why did they bring him back, like what's the whole line gonna do? He said that's the million dollar question. Why would you re-sign this motherfucker? We all knew he was weak.
Speaker 1:Come on, bro, because you know why they did so. You know Titus Howard was a Bill O'Brien pick and Laramie Tunsil was a Was a signing they had to make Due to letting Dwayne Brown go Off of some off the field shit Because of what he stood off, stood against.
Speaker 2:We talking about Bob McNair Exactly.
Speaker 1:So they want to Overpay for Larry M Turner, who didn't deserve To be paid that amount, because you're paying him To be A Trent Williams, literally, and he's not that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the issue, but I feel like they all knew that. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's a bit, but that's the issue. Yeah, they're cooked, they're cooked.
Speaker 2:Well, let's pray, you gon' see.
Speaker 1:Real, do the kill you up from TV. Rudy Derlo, easy, we out G and Nick's Album of the year Top five. Oh, you ain't give him the album of the year Top five.
