Speaker 3I only feel like sitting up, so we might it doesn't make sense for him to sit up on a comfortable couch yeah, because I'm like sitting up but yeah, but I'm trying to like mediate guide this right station. Here we just vibing I heard we're just vibing, we're going to preface this. Neshea was over here worried, but we're literally. I feel like you're enjoying yourself.
Speaker 1We're having a good conversation. This is literally it. We do this every day.
Speaker 2Exactly that was my exact point.
Speaker 3We're literally just having a conversation. When did you get into DJj and how'd you start, you know, doing like what? I guess what even planted that idea, like what even made you want to be a dj, or did you you know how did that journey go?
Speaker 1I actually had no plans on becoming a DJ. I used to frequent this place called Metro Diner and the DJ manager at the time like she was really rocking with me and I never. I mean, I work there now, right. So, like you know, the people like Kim will sing like the same songs.
Speaker 3She might be switching, so you're my. I got a party just right, so you used to just visit there like just in your free time and be like oh, let me get this before you were a dj yes, oh, wow. So you just be like, let me get a bite to eat, or?
Speaker 2so wait so much.
Speaker 1I didn't even go to eat, I just went for karaoke so, metro, you just started you off as a dj, yeah, and so how did you even find Metro Diamond?
Speaker 1So I used to really enjoy karaoke, so when I moved here I was doing research to find out where to go. And so I went to Metro. I became kind of like a regular, but only on certain days when certain DJs was working. The lady was like are you a a DJ because you have great music taste, like you never sing the same songs and like whatever, whatever.
Speaker 1And I was like no, I just love music so you had like a whole catalog of songs you were singing it wasn't a catalog, it was just a feeling, it was just like this is what I'm in the mood for today, or this is what I feel like would entertain the crowd like I've always been. I guess you could say an entertainer.
Speaker 3I mean, that's not easy, man, you know. But me and Turner we've been trying to build this karaoke catalog for a little minute now, right like. I'm still and we can't. We can't just do any song like after like, oh, let's just do, mario, let me love you, like out the blue light, that blue. We kind of take a little mental preparation. Boy does it ever.
Speaker 2When you put it on the spot, it's kind of hard to think of songs, that's true.
Speaker 3Anyway, we commend you for that. Yeah, continue.
Speaker 1Then she invited me to work there and I was like sure, I don't know anything about anything. And she was like, well, I can show you, she showed me me, but she didn't really show me how to like dj, she just showed me how to, I guess, read the crowd and like fade in and fade out type situation. So, um, I have a non-profit where I put on events and I was putting on dance events at the moment and I was. I made friends with this girl named Erica who was like a skater and I was telling her how I wanted to merge my I had an event idea of merging skating and the dance style together. She was like, oh, a good person to talk to would be DJ Ham and I was like, what's a ham Shout out to?
Speaker 3Ham, by the way, Shout out to Ham. I was like what's a ham?
Speaker 1Shout out to ham, by the way. I was like what's a ham? And she's like it's a person. I was like that's weird, but okay, what's a ham? So anyways, I introduced myself to him and told him what I was trying to do, and he just pretty much took me under his wing to teach me.
Speaker 3So what year is this? Yeah, let's put a timeline.
Speaker 1So this is like 2021.
Speaker 3Ham.
Speaker 1Metro.
Speaker 3Diner was.
Speaker 1Metro Diner was like eight months before, so like 2020. Gotcha, yeah, yeah, I started Metro.
Speaker 2So it's like during COVID.
Speaker 1Actually, okay, I'm sorry, I started Metro, so it was like during COVID. Actually, okay, I'm sorry, I started Metro September 2021. The whole ham thing happened July 2022.
Speaker 3Ah yeah, and I was trying to wonder when we met her, what was that? Ham and you session yeah, that summer something.
Speaker 2Oh, whatever the summer bash. The session I met her was the anniversary that me and Drip did Cascade. You do remember that that was the situation where I that thing, that situation, but yeah, so yeah, I came in the booth I was like, oh, this is whoever she is, this is whoever she is, and I went off to Insert name here, right.
Speaker 2And then I started doing whatever, and then she was like, oh, hello. And I was like, hi, I'm all right, yeah. And so I was like, oh okay, so cool, well, we're talking now. And so I I know of her, I now know of her existence and so that was like I feel like the hand thing happened before that. No it definitely did not. I definitely because because when you came in I was like oh, that's that girl from uh cascade. I met a cascade oh, I remember that yeah, okay.
Speaker 3So, um, okay. So you met him. He mentored you, helped you out with djing and you made it. How did you make it into the skating rink?
Speaker 1So after a few months, maybe really just weeks, of working together, I met. I mean, I was visiting Cascade pretty regularly so I had made friends with like Jermon and Mello, who no longer work there.
Speaker 3Were you already a skater or did you know how to skate?
Speaker 1I was learning, okay, yeah, or did you know how to skate? I was learning, okay, yeah, I was learning how to skate. Um and ham was like oh yeah, they're gonna have auditions, you should do it. And I'm like I just learned what a bpm was like. Why would I do that? Like I don't know anything about skate music or nothing. And he's like yeah, you should just do it.
Speaker 3And that musician also encouraged me, and so I showed up to the audition and I was the first person to arrive and these are all folks you met because you was going to cascade frequently and you just came across like, oh, this musician well, I actually met them when I started, um, when I started looking into like the DJ stuff.
Speaker 1So I don't mean like this is going to sound terrible, but when I started skating I wasn't. I didn't even acknowledge the fact that it was a DJ. I was just rolling around having a good time trying to figure out how do I go backwards, right.
Speaker 3I mean, it's a fair statement. I'm sure a lot of people you know a lot of regular or just like random folk that come in there.
Speaker 2That's you know, kudos to y'all. I can't do that shit. You gotta pick and choose your battles. That's not a battle I need, it's all good, we'll contact from that dude but, um, yeah.
Speaker 1So then, yeah. So, as I started getting into it and asking questions, like I'm a very inquisitive person and I'm also pretty friendly, so I made friends pretty quickly and yeah. So after my audition, like Avalanche didn't tell me yes or no, he was just kind of like, yeah, you need a different board Because I had a Rev one at the time.
Speaker 3It's just so funny because you know Avalanche would be so straightforward.
Speaker 2Yeah, he's very cutthroat.
Speaker 1Yeah, he was like you can't plug up to our stuff with the RCA plug-in. That's not going to work, and so I was like well, I need to know I'm going to be on the schedule before I drop this.
Speaker 3Drop this thing. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1Drop this money on this, because I'm not one of those people who's going to make monthly payments Like I'm going to buy it straight out, right?
Speaker 3Cashing out.
Speaker 1Yeah, so yeah, but that's you know long story long. That's how it kind of happened.
Speaker 3So you got a new board and oh.
Speaker 1Well before I got the boards, so Well before I got the boards. So he made me like I guess you could say re-audition, but it was during a session. It was supposed to be me and him DJing, but it was just me.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 1And him let me use his old board. Oh, he just left you Him.
Speaker 2No, Avalanche.
Speaker 1Well, he was in the booth with me but he just he wasn't DJing Right.
Speaker 3But then he started feeling the vibe and then he was just hearing you play, yeah, and he started showing the vibe, and then we started playing together gotcha and that sold him yeah, I guess I'm on the schedule. Let me push you on yeah you gotcha so uh schedule was adjusted accordingly, right accordingly, and um the rest is history cascade dj. Uh, what sessions did you start doing?
Speaker 1um, I don't think I started on any particular session.
Speaker 3Um, it was just many sessions whenever I was available um, do you have a preference like out of the cascade week? Is there a preference for which sessions that you you enjoy?
Speaker 1djing or djing. Um. I enjoy sunday family sessions. Um, I did me ham and avalanche did on wednesday. One time I was very new, it was done on wednesday. Oh dang, I wasn't like on the schedule or nothing, I just pulled up and they let me Wednesday.
Speaker 3One time I was very new. You done on Wednesday?
Speaker 1Oh, dang, I wasn't like on the schedule or nothing. I just pulled up and they let me.
Speaker 3And they let you DJ with them.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3Still, though you know that's cool.
Speaker 1Yeah, that was pretty nerve wracking, but people had a great time. We recorded it and I listened back to it several times and I'm like, dang, that was terrible. I mean, what was wrong with it? Um, I could just tell that I was nervous, like and I remember being nervous and you I I can hear it now, you know.
Speaker 3I mean, I feel like we all, you know, at some point I felt like that when we listened back, oh boy, oh, my turn around. I thought you shaking your head like oh no. You're like, no, that's for the rookies, that's what I don't know about y'all insecure motherfuckers.
Speaker 2I could listen to a couple of mixes on the earlier MythCloud Oof boy.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, I definitely had something down there, a little Rocky Road.
Speaker 1I get reprimanded all the time for playing Woo Side of Family Station.
Speaker 2You definitely should have got discipline for that.
Speaker 1It was a clean version.
Speaker 2I mean, but even with a clean version, that's crazy what.
Speaker 3Just to give y'all a little backstory, I said, hey, tanaka, check out my mix, or whatever, right? So I'm whipping in the kitchen and I'm listening to the mix shout out to Huncho TNT podcast hall of famer so I'm whipping in the kitchen and I'm listening to the mix and we on the slow set I'm like hold the kitchen and I'm listening to the mix and we on the slow set I'm like, hold up, this is a family session, come on. And I'm just like, oh, that's crazy.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's crazy, but you know, and nobody came up and said anything to you like, ma'am, what is this?
Speaker 1Nope, the only time I've ever had anybody say anything to me was two weeks ago at Cascade East. This mom was upset because I played P-T-O-M Wait, p-t-o-m.
Speaker 3P-O-M.
Speaker 1Thank you. Yeah, sorry, it's a lie, how you city girl Bitch you from the country.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's crazy. I ain't gonna lie, you got more nuts than me. Nah, both of them is kind of crazy. Yes, he's literally saying put that pussy on me Actually the King version says it Put that pussy on me. That's still crazy.
Speaker 1I mean, I was in high school listening to Pretty Ricky.
Speaker 2Yes, but come on, now we're in conures.
Speaker 3Here's the difference and we're gonna speak on this. Here's the difference pretty ricky, clean version. They redid the album like they redid the song. Like the lyrics are different, yeah. So that's why, when I heard the explicit version, I was like these aren't the lyrics?
Speaker 3So that's the reason why that you know what I'm saying. That was something they used to do, though in that era, like 2000s, late 90s, they used to actually change the lyrics for the clean version, but now they just well, they really don't care. Now there's not even a clean version. Sometimes there's not even a clean version. No, sometimes there's not even a clean version out there.
Speaker 2Oh, oh, yeah, true, you know so last person I heard do that was a sexy red pound town, but I feel like she did that because she felt like the song had to be on the radio, right, so she had to yeah, so did she make it clean, or she just bleeped it out? No, like I think she says like my pink, my tootsie roll brown.
Speaker 1I did not hear that version.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean, how often are you playing pound town? Oh, so you just play pound town. Yeah, miss Woosa, over here playing pound town and booty hole brown and put that ass on my face.
Speaker 3There it is. That's the type of time you want to get.
Speaker 1Hey man.
Speaker 3Gotta say true to your.
Speaker 1You want to say something about Candidate?
Speaker 3Why did you meet with him? It was for your what.
Speaker 1My non-profit event.
Speaker 2That must be the mission statement for her non-profit event, putting that ass on that face, put that pussy on.
Speaker 3Hey, that's a mission statement no, sir, that's that woman empowerment, you know.
Speaker 2What's your favorite song about Mo Head See?
Speaker 1there you go.

Speaker 1favorite, I'll just go with that one he tried to alley-oop it right like literally lay up right, that's what's up.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's what's up. Is cascade on? Oh, did you have a question? But yeah, that's what's up. Yeah, that's what's up. Is Cascade going to? Oh, did you have a question?
Speaker 2I lost it? No, but like I said, this blowing wind and this comfy-ass Wayfair couch is like oh yeah, they can. They can see me, I can see me, I think I can see me, I don't know.
Speaker 3It's a deadly combination Deadly, very deadly, very deadly. Y'all can see me, I don't know. It's a deadly combination. Deadly, very deadly, very deadly. Um is cascade, the only rinky dj, yet consistently.
Speaker 1Yes, okay, cascade west, cascade east. I've done golden glide a few times. I dj'd with sean at all american one. But yeah, that's about it.
Speaker 3And outside of the ring. Where do you DJ?
Speaker 1at Metro Diner and I do a couple private events. I've done a couple for Tech Is it In Black?
Speaker 3I've done a couple weddings yeah, just other different private events, baby showers Is there a preference that you have, as far as, obviously, you're open to all the events, but is there a preference for one event that you enjoy more?
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know if they can hear me.
Speaker 2Well, they definitely can hear you now, because you're whispering.
Speaker 1Yeah, I really enjoy doing weddings. Yeah, I enjoy being a part of helping a core memory be so memorable and a good one, but there are people who have terrible stories to share, so, yeah, turn up.
Speaker 3How many weddings have you done?
Speaker 2I've done a grand total of one. Yeah, I've only done one wedding and um, just thinking about because I never thought about how important that um a wedding is I was like damn, like this is literally something they're gonna remember for the rest of their life yes and I really need to be on my game because, like they're either gonna like they're either. I mean they're obviously either gonna remember me or not remember me. But like remember me doesn't always mean that's a good thing, like it may have been, like don't it's fucking?
Speaker 2yeah that motherfucker boy. They ruined everything, Right, right, I'm much rather than them. Just forget about me and I do a moderate job rather than be like oh yeah, I remember he was terrible.

Speaker 3I have not had anybody request that as their first year I'm not gonna lie, that I, yeah, I have, I have for that joint hit me, like that was one of those songs that, uh, that was one of those ones that stuck out bro, like I feel like I heard it, like I want to say on like one of the music channels, like music video type well, you mean like now, that's what I call music no, no, no, like I was watching, I think I seen the video, oh, and I was just like dang, I gotta, I gotta find out what song that is, because that piano, that you know it's like it's like dang, to the point that I think I bought that song on iTunes.

Speaker 3Yeah, I know the movie. Yeah, when she said the white guy and the black dude yeah, I'm trying to. You said One Night on the Couch.

Speaker 2I've only seen that movie, like once.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know if I recall that song If it's not that movie, then it's probably the same time but I know they did a lot of not a lot, but a couple of songs on that soundtrack.
Speaker 3I mean, it's interesting, that's interesting.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm um you have great eyes, by the way. What that you saw? What that man said, I cannot see your thing 2020 vision 2020 Vision, that's probably the wine blurring of Vision.
Speaker 3Yeah, probably. I would say I might have to go with D'Angelo Long Hill.
Speaker 2Nothing Even Matters. Yeah, that is a dope one. Yeah, I just started playing that back in my slow sets. Yeah, that's a great song.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Shout out to D'Angelo and Long Hill for coming out with that jam.
Speaker 3Yeah, that one is um, but I feel like those are all, everything y'all named, though I feel like yeah, no, for sure all the records for sure I feel like.
Speaker 2I feel like nothing, even matters, would be more in like a neo soul-ish type wedding.
Speaker 1It's not like a soulful sunday type of vibe yeah, it's crazy, I actually played it Soulful Sunday.
Speaker 2I definitely played that for Soulful Sunday, see.
Speaker 1I know my friends.
Speaker 2She knows her friends.
Speaker 1All right.
Speaker 2Babe, I got to make the reference.
Speaker 3Oh man.
Speaker 2Got to. So do y'all remember Because I mean, I'm not going to lie, I'm going to just be honest I don't remember anything I played at that wedding. Do y'all remember what, uh, some of y'all first dance songs were? No do you remember any of them? It was the one I mentioned. Oh, it was the one you mentioned. Oh, it was nothing, even matters.
Speaker 1That's hard, yeah, dang, I wish yeah, not at all, I cannot remember I'm just the wedding ending yeah yeah, that joint kind of ended a little negatively. Oh, like they got divorced, or something?
Speaker 3No, no, no.
Speaker 1Was that the?
Speaker 2one where they the limo guy found, the. He went to the wrong place. Chill out, chill out, chill out.
Speaker 3We're not talking about that one.
Speaker 2All they do is not talk about that one, oh my bad, I thought we were talking about that one.
Speaker 3We're not talking about that one. Oh my bad, I know we were talking about that one.
Speaker 2You got to go to an old episode to hear that whole story. Dad joint was crazy.
Speaker 3That reminded me of. I think there's a Family Guy episode or something, where they were like they were showing the reporter and he was like wait, wait. I think I'm at the wrong location yeah, but um, so I'm djing and they had asked me to play has. This was so random, bro. So random, he asked me to play gorilla zo. Guess what gorilla zo he asked for, bro. Guess what song he asked from gorilla zo? Uh, top of the week.
Speaker 2No, okay, uh, just say um well, better question is do you know I know, look, look, look look. I wasn't even saying it as a Canadian thing, I was saying that more of like. Not a lot of people know who Gorilla Zoe is.
Speaker 1I know who he is but I don't know his songs.
Speaker 3Bro, they asked for Lost.
Speaker 2Exactly, I know she don't know that song, you know?
Speaker 3how random of a song at a wedding is.
Speaker 2Well, just anywhere, period.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's pretty so then I was like dang man you know about, you know gorillas, though, and all that, and um, I don't know. I guess he felt like I was trying him. I wasn't trying or like, oh no, I asked him where he was from you know what I'm saying, or whatever and I guess he felt tried or something like like man, I'm from zone three and I'm just like all right, brother, I wasn't trying to get up, like you know what I'm saying I was just asking what part to see right you know how, yet
Speaker 2but yeah, anyway um so let me ask y'all this, for this, for y'all hypothetical wedding what would your first dance song be?
Speaker 1All my Life by KC Daniels.
Speaker 2I feel like she's like Only saying that because that's like the only song she can pick up.
Speaker 1No that I always wanted that song From when I heard it. And then I was like, maybe not, since everybody's doing it, but everybody's pulled away from it at this point.
Speaker 3Did you hear Nelly's version Of All my?
Speaker 2Life and you sampled it. No, no, I kind of want to hear it, though, now that you said it, that sounds great. It's called All my Life. Is it called All my Life?
Speaker 3No, it's called Wish a Name.
Speaker 2Wish a Name. Wish a Name? I hear it. Yeah, hey. So I'm assuming that's what you're going to use for your first dance.
Speaker 3Chill out man. Chill out man. Oh man, that was crazy. All right, I'm sorry. I'm going to ask Is that it? No, it's not it. All right, what? Yeah, I guess we're gonna go to uh get the bars.
Speaker 2Yeah well, you never answered, would you? Oh yeah, what would you? Or?
Speaker 3do you? It's too tough a question, I would have to release it oh, would you have to like know your partner yeah, because I would have to know that it'll probably be like their song yeah yeah, so song yeah, yeah, so would it be this?
Guess the Bars
Speaker 2by the way, this is his favorite anywho, ladies and gentlemen, we're about to move on to guess the bars. So so, ladies and gentlemen, what we did is yes, they can hear what, not you I'm trying to find it okay, well, anyway, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna get into guess the bars. We send each other some uh rap bars um I didn't get it and yeah, I know, because you don't support the podcast, so you don't have to do anything, Don't worry about it, just sit there and look pretty.
Speaker 2So, ladies and gentlemen, what we have to do is we're going to read it, we're going to try to figure out who it is. If you can't figure out who it is, we rate it on the F scale, which is from five to one Fire, ferocious, flat frisbee and fecal. Well, that's from five to one and it when we tell them who the person is and we figure out oh, we have heard the song. We'll tell them when's the first time we heard this song. So, um, I guess we'll go. We'll go this way. We'll do or do we want to go clockwise how you want to do it, tanaka?
Speaker 2uh, it doesn't matter doesn't matter, okay, I'll start it. I'll start it off. Um oh so. Um, nishay, just check your uh email. Do you have an email on your phone? Yes okay, check your email. I sent you. I sent you your three, so, um, I'll start off. Um, let's see, I'm from marcy's houses, where the boys died by the thousands Back then, oh my bad, back when Pam was on Martin. Yeah, that's when it all started, when Denzel was blotting carpet. Is that what he says Blotting? Yeah, I think so. What does blotting mean?
Speaker 2Don't know, I don't know what they're talking about when Denzel was blotting carpet, I'll pack a 9mm. When Slick Rick made Mona Lisa, when Elisa Bonnet was Beyonce of her day, I had divas. Y'all Think I just popped up in this bitch like a fetus Nah, pregnant paws. Give you some second thoughts. There's room on the bandwagon. Don't abort. It's just I don't know, I don't like how that just ends like that. Oh yeah, it's Lisa Bonet. I've heard of that. Who's Lisa Bonet? I've heard of that name before. She's on the Huxables. That's the niece. Is that the one that looked like the weed head?
Speaker 1flexible's that's denise.
Speaker 2That is that, the one that looked like the weed head. Yes, oh yeah, the the song, yeah, yeah, that's the. That. That's who I think would dance to nothing even matters, like that kind of, that kind of woman is dancing to nothing, even matters, for sure, but anyway. So, um, yeah, uh, she was. She was fine, though, I ain't gonna lie, it's alright, it's cool. That's a little better than cool. I appreciate the metaphors and all that type of shit. I'll give it a probably a flattish, ferocious-ish, probably like a 3.5. 3.5. I have no guess, guess. Well, marcy Projects, I'm assuming that's. Is that New York? Right? Yeah, new York. Yeah, I'm some rapper from New York, I'm assuming. I don't know who you got so yeah.
Speaker 3So yeah, this is Marcy Me by Jay Z. I've heard of that. Marcy Me, what is that off?
Speaker 2of 444 oh, that's why I haven't heard it. I didn't listen to that album.
Speaker 3Yeah, I don't know to that album. Yeah, I don't know about that album, but um so she going, she gonna go, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2So yeah, just read the top one. You're gonna just read the top one and I'll pull this up for you because I know you probably don't remember anything I said about the scale so yeah, yeah you're going to read that, and then you're going to see if you can guess who guess the song and the artist.
Speaker 3If you can't, you know you can Don't worry about it. Yeah, don't worry about it. And then you can also just state if you liked or disliked. What you liked or disliked about the bars.
Speaker 1All right.
Speaker 2And then you rate it on this so 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. So when you say 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, just say one of these words Alright Vegas. Shout out to Mario I'm sorry that boy, Jillian the Builder man Was that on?
Speaker 1Jill, is this yoga?
Speaker 3No, it's.
Speaker 1Mario.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, yeah, we didn't put the wine down.

So Houston girl, be keen and mean. Women have Be loving in Chicago. Girls be liking me, okay. I have no idea what song this is.
Speaker 2So how would you rate those bars?
Speaker 1I mean, it's flattering, I guess.
Speaker 3What Was it? Were there any bars that stuck out to you, that you enjoyed, or anything or didn't like?
Speaker 1I mean I like the my Cali Boy Be so Sadidi Deep Down Girl. I mean I feel like if I heard the cadence it would be like, okay, that's fun.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 1I guess I'd give it like what's the numbers? Again, here you go, I would probably give it. Well, I want to give it a four, but I wouldn't go with the word ferocious, why not?
Speaker 3It word ferocious. Why not it's ferocious? Okay, then, I don't know somewhere in the middle yeah, like 3.5 okay so it's kind of like a Wait, let me see it again.
Speaker 2Make sure I'm giving you the right one. Alright, so that was Gucci man. It's a song called Bachelor Pad. Are you familiar with Bachelor Pad? But I'm familiar with Gucci.
Speaker 1There, you go halfway there.
Speaker 2Ladies and gentlemen, Alright, so I'm not gonna lie. I kind of didn't think about this. I forgot that you have to.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, but I just go to the same, yeah.

That was actually one of the first songs that I actually did that with.

The TNT Hall of Fame
Speaker 2I throw shit to my beat. Anyway, before we lose M'shay, we're going to move on. What do we? Got Hall of Fame Hall to move on? Hall of Fame, hall of Fame. All right, ladies gentlemen, I'm not gonna lie, I don't remember what the fuck we picked last time, because it was so long ago. So I'm gonna let. I'm gonna let y'all converse about whatever the hell until I figure out what the hell we uh, whatever we chose.
Speaker 3So, um, yeah, so let's say this segment is called hollow fame. We nominate three different things, one from each of us, uh, to be placed in the hall of fame, the tnc hall of fame, and it can literally be anything. It could be a food, it could be anything. It could be a food, it could be a movie, it could be a TV show, it could be clothes, it could be a song, a certain time period, a certain era.
Speaker 1What are you basing it on? What are you going to share?
Speaker 2So the way we do it is we just I mean, let's do whatever you think of, and then we put it on the Instagram TNT podcast page and they vote for who's the next inductee into the TNT podcast. I'll give you some examples. Tanaka, oh, my bad.
Speaker 3He done. Already mentioned one.
Speaker 2Yeah, I did so. Last episode it was Truck Fit versus Lil Jon's $2 concert, and the winner was Lil Jon's $2 concert, and the winner was Lil Jon's $2 concert. So, tanaka, I'll let you pick who goes first. Oh Neshea of course Neshea goes first. Of course you put her in the final Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Okay, well, neshea, okay, so so you can some of the previous winners were oh, I was gonna let her see it honestly because it's they're on here.
Speaker 2So on the instagram page I will show you some of the winners. As a matter of fact, I'll just show you some tnt podcast, hall of famers, from last year so you can just look at that. Let's see what the book's talking about in here. Bustin, bustin' for Trump. Okay, well, mario, when we get you on the show we're going to hold you to that. Mario says he's going to nominate Nice. He's gonna nominate Nyssa. Slow 3 Tanaka. That was a pretty legendary. That was a pretty legendary night definitely ah boy, talk about.
Speaker 2My adrenaline was before the doors even opened there was a lot going on.
Speaker 3There was a lot going on. There was a lot going on. There was a lot going on that fucking night. A lot going on, for real man, it's a lot going on.
Speaker 1I don't know, okay, okay.
Speaker 2So you have an idea Of what it is.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, what it is.
Speaker 2But you haven't thought about what you want to choose. Well, you know what I'll go before her, just because I know I have mine written down somewhere and I'll just do it. Just watch me.
Speaker 1Oh my God. And that's not to correlate with what you said.
Speaker 2You can be whatever the fuck you want to be, so okay. So I know I'm probably going to lose it all y'all, but there's this comedian named Ricky Smiley and he used to have this show. Well't even know he might still have a radio. Does he still have a radio?
Speaker 1show. Do y'all know he does?
Speaker 2yeah. So I remember when I was younger I used to, uh, I used to, sleep my radio on and I would just be just whatever. I just I don't know I'd wake up and Ricky Smiley would be on. And so I remember there was one time I woke up and like there was this song and I thought he was being serious. But then I heard the song and I was like, okay, he's obviously not being serious, it's obviously a comedic song. It's a song he did because he was talking about how he missed his homeboy. His name was Robert, and so he had this song and it's called we Miss Robert. And then when it came out I was like okay, this is obviously a joke. And so I was like still sitting in bed just laying down listening to it and like the song is basically him talking about we miss Robert, but then he talks about everything else except Robert. So like it's have you heard this song before? Oh, my god, I met this girl the other day. I said what's your name?
Speaker 2yes, I remember that I'm not gonna lie, if you know. If you know turnips uh what's the word? If you know turnips, uh sense of humor. He loves stupid shit. That's like the dumbest shit ever, to the point that I let uh tonic hear it a couple days ago. Shout out to Tonic he was like bro, this is horrible. What the fuck are we listening to? I'm going to just say this Before you vote for whatever they're going to put on the poll, go and find we Miss Robert by Ricky Smiley. It's the dumbest shit ever. That shit is dumb, funny, stupid. But um, yeah, that's my nominee for the tnt podcast hall of fame. Um, nashay, I hope I've stalled enough for you to pick something. Um, so because, yeah, it's your turn because, yeah, it's your turn, um okay.
Speaker 1So I pretty much pick something that I feel should go on there and advocate for. Why yes? Okay so I'm gonna just go with what's on my record table and go with Aaliyah like just the artist. Aaliyah the artist thataliyah, or are we talking about the album?
Speaker 3the artist that's a good one.
Speaker 1I pick Aaliyah. I feel like when she came out she was on top of her game and even still now to the point that there was petitioning to release her music because they were not releasing her music for a long time, um, because her family was like holding out and stuff yeah, um, so do we still have a lead music that we haven't heard yet?
Speaker 1no, I think all of it's out now but people are, but they're the family's like very strict and then like if you want a sample, you have to have like a conversation with them, like you can't just sample her stuff yeah um, yeah, and I mean I, I personally think, had it not been for her tragic passing, she would still be rocking it personally rocking, okay, so okay, let's.
Speaker 2Let's put this in perspective now. Uh-huh, are we saying she she'd be rocking, in the sense of she would still be doing tours, or she would still be making new music and still be relevant? She would still be making new music and be relevant. I ain't gonna lie. That's a tall, that's, that's. I mean look, no, no, here's the thing. Anything is possible, but I ain't gonna lie. That's, that's some pants to fill, because I'm not gonna lie. After, what are we saying? Like 2014, r&b got a little wishy-washy, like I'd probably I'm not gonna lie had I give alia, I'd probably give her a career like Monica Brandy, maybe, like they'd be out in the 2000s, but she would have that legendary where she would maybe put out a song once or twice.
Speaker 1I think the difference between her and the Monica and Brandy's is that she kind of like made that shift where she brought more. It wasn't just like the melody, if that makes sense, like she had a little bit more of an edge to her and she she was dancing and stuff before. That's true. No, I mean, you're not wrong no, you're not wrong.
Speaker 2so I feel like she'd be like, I feel like she wouldn't have, I feel like she wouldn't pull all her, all of her eggs into. I think she would yeah, because remember, when she died, queen of the Dam was out.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2She probably would be. I feel like she'd probably be doing movies.
Speaker 1Maybe she would be doing.
Speaker 2And it's so funny you say Queen of the Damned, because I was just listening to some of the records from that soundtrack and she probably would have did some rock and it probably would have been pretty lit. So apparently she says that she doesn't think. So I'm assuming she's talking about have we heard all of her music? Apparently she says I don't think so because Chris Brown dropped. Don't Think they know. So they think there might still be more in the vault that we have not heard. I think that's a sample, so it is from what song? Well, like I said, I'm not really big on alia, so I I don't think I've ever heard any of her albums.
Speaker 3But um, shout out dirty dan in the building.
Speaker 1Man, I'll shout out dirty dan checking in, you take a shower dirty danirty.
Speaker 2Dan. Oh shit, I didn't realize what you said. Dirty Dan, got you, got you.
Speaker 3Shout out, mcduff, you already know. Shout out.
Speaker 2McDuff, always, always. We're Carolina's finest. But yeah, no, I feel like, yeah, no, I ain't going to lie, that's kind of tough to say that she would still be relevant in 2024, like, okay, let's think about all the other singers that would have I mean, that's been out, that came and gone from that time. Like that means she would have probably been like a Beyonce and honestly, I mean to me personally, I don't see that. I don't see that. But I mean Tanaka, how? I don't see that.
Speaker 3I don't see that but I mean it's not. How do you feel about that? Hmm, yeah, I don't know if I see that cuz like I don't, because what was her vocal range? Like it was like it was more like a problem not saying, she can't sing like that, but I'm just saying like my two cents, which would probably have me canceled by the end of the year.
Speaker 2Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it had she still been here, R Kelly, I thought that's what she was going with. No, I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 3I thought that's what you was going with you. No, I'm not going to lie, I thought that's when you was going with it.
Speaker 1You said canceled. What I was going to say was that people were not really following Beyonce like that.
Speaker 2Okay, hold on, let's calm down now.
Speaker 3He just got out the shower.
Speaker 2He just got out the shower there, you go.
Speaker 1He just got out the shower, actually just got out of the shower.
Speaker 2There you go, he just got out of the shower, actually, For your information, the burst of a bubble. But yeah, no, Okay, well, hold on now. Let's calm this down now Because, look, we understand that nobody was really talking about Beyoncé per se, but let's also put in perspective that she was in a group, so of course they're not going to. They're going to talk about Destiny's Child before they talk about Beyoncé. It's like how they weren't really talking about Justin Timberlake until he got out of NSYNC.
Speaker 3I mean they were talking about.
Speaker 2NSYNC and they knew that, okay, he could possibly do something, but yeah, by 2000,. Like Beyoncé didn't have her first hit or her first single till 2003. So yeah, I don't know, that's a little, that's tough yeah that's. It's kind of tough, but um, I mean, I guess anything's possible, but for her to be making music and still be relevant for three decades is there anybody else? From that era that's still making music.
Speaker 3That's a good question I should, let's.
Speaker 1Let's be honest are you what's your?
Speaker 2favorite song come off that new album still making music? That's a good question. I should, let's be honest. What's your favorite song from off that new album? I'll give you one better.
Speaker 1What's your favorite song off the album?
Speaker 2before that I had to answer for this album.
Speaker 1Oh, you did, okay, what was it? What was it?
Speaker 3Nah, I know it.
Speaker 2Yeah, bro, a-town Girl, a-town Girl, right A-T. What was it? No, I know, I know. Yeah, bro, a-town girl, a-town girl right, yeah, that was an interesting one, um, but yeah, so like I don't know that's, I don't know that's, that's a tough task, but no for sure, definitely a legend. But let me actually, I don't know why this popped in my head, but let me ask you this have you seen the biopic? You haven't okay. Have you seen the biopic?
Speaker 2alia yeah no, I haven't either. Okay, I just was curious if anybody that's watching. Has anybody seen the biopic? I just hear nothing but negative things about it, but I heard it was more of a. I heard it was more of a. They just didn't have any of the rights to like her music or any of her stuff. So I'm like, well, we're just going to make her laugh.
Speaker 3So Jug says that Beyonce had a machine behind her and Aaliyah was soft vocal, like Sade Shia says. I think it would have been like Christina Milian or Shanti type. I think it would have been like Christina Milian or Ashanti type. She could still sing but still has the fashion, still a fashion icon, but more so an actress. Now I could see her being an.
Speaker 2Ashanti? Definitely, I could definitely see her being an Ashanti. Yeah, but Daria, who the fuck are you talking about? Anyway, yeah, so Aaliyah that's a good one. Aaliyah yeah, just to put a cap on it, because we could be talking about Aaliyah forever. Honestly, what's?
Speaker 1your nomination.
Speaker 2So DJ Tanaka Wait I already nominated K-Way. Yeah, and it already won. Shout out to K-Way uh Treats, suicide Treats.
Speaker 3I just had to make sure you know what I'm saying. Um, let me see when should we go with it. Um, um, um, um, um. Let's see. Man, this whole time I wasn't even thinking of what I was going to do.
Speaker 2Because we were sitting here talking about Aaliyah.
Speaker 3Yeah, we was having a good conversation about Aaliyah. Yeah, aaliyah, we was having a good conversation about Aaliyah. Yeah, aaliyah. 5. You said you heard negative things, though, about that biopic. Yeah, I heard that shit was terrible. Oh, dang, I heard that shit was awful. John Acons is still bussing um ooh still busting 800.
Speaker 2That's interesting.
Speaker 3That's not my right, though that is a beautiful question, holla, if you need me, has that been your personal choice to play that during the social?
Speaker 1yeah, somebody requested it, that's that don't sound like aspirins to you in his pocket.
Speaker 3Huh.
Speaker 1That don't sound like aspirins in his pocket you a pill, head or something.
Speaker 2Why you talking about these?
Speaker 1aspirins. That's just what it sound like to me.
Speaker 3Pill head. Sorry, bro, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2No, girl, we were joking. If you really gotta go, go, go, pee pee.
Speaker 3Boy. Is she over here typing messages out?
Speaker 2Yes, she had to use the restroom. So, Tanaka, sir, what is your choice?
Speaker 3Ramen noodles, ramen noodles, ramen noodles, ramen noodles. Why are we choosing ramen noodles? Um, it's just so funny to me how, like, how many different levels there is. You know, everybody knows. Just like the classic ramen noodles. Like you know, everybody knows. Just like the classic ramen noodles. Like you know, classic broke person snack. You feel me Everybody goes to like you could eat them cooked or you could eat them like raw. Did you ever hear of?
Speaker 2that Folks eat them raw.
Speaker 3I've never seen anybody just really so check this right, shake this right. Basically, growing up the homies we used to have the little packet. They used to mash it up, crunch it all up, open the packet, spring it around, shake it up and then you just eat it like chips type joint.
Speaker 2That's interesting. Yeah, I don't know Well first off, I'm not going to lie, the smell of ramen noodles net like it was just I. I've never had ramen noodles oh for you never had joints, like the smell of ramen noodles will make me just like I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2That's that shit is like not at all like it's interesting, man, um, yeah, so, so it doesn't even matter the flavor, no, yeah, just as soon as that joint gets cooked up in the microwave, I'm like oh yeah, I'm in the other room and you're talking about the cup of noodle, or are you talking about actual ramen? It may be the cup of noodles, Okay yeah.
Speaker 3I got you Dang. I ain't have one of them in a minute.
Speaker 2Yeah, like the noodles and noodles, that was what you were gonna call it like those, oh my jesus, I can't stand them but yeah, ramen noodles though, and then it's obviously there's different brands and stuff, and then it's just crazy.
Speaker 3I got you Mario that's a lot of America's like perception of it, right, but then it's like when you actually have like a real ramen noodle dish, like from a japanese restaurant, it's like a whole nother level you know like just all the different stuff they add into it, and you know, I mean it has to be expected, though, you know like a package ramen noodles.
Speaker 3You know, expected though you know like a package ramen noodles. You know right process and all that so, but yeah, I just feel like ramen noodles. Man, we're getting into the fall season. Um, you know it's soup noodles. You know keep you warm, and you know cozy type, cozy type of meal right, like the real ramen or like the store-bought ramen. Yeah, that's what we're discussing. So, Nishe, did you ever eat raw ramen noodles growing up? How would you eat it?
Speaker 1I would crush it in a bag and then open the seasoning packet, put it in there, shake it up and then put it in a bowl and just eat it. Is that not normal?
Speaker 3Turnip didn't know, I don't eat ramen noodles at all. You're healthy. Just smell, but um, yeah, turnip said, it makes him conscious.
Speaker 2The smell, like the raw. Obviously you can't smell the raw, but like when it's cooked, like it's like yeah, I can't yeah, so he didn't know about the raw you know ac's into the group chat there he is also because it's called ayo-Y-O-A-C-I-R.
Speaker 3So yeah.
Speaker 2So to answer your question, no, but you're just as bad because you're up with us. What's his question? There you go. He said gang. Ac says gang, it's 12. It's 12 am. Y'all Negroes, don't stop Sleep, oh it says sleep.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3All I can see is that it says live, Amazing. So yeah, Ramen noodles. I just feel like it's the broke person's snack. But then it's also like you know, you get older, you get some money, you actually have some real ramen noodles. You feel me, they put the real you know what I'm saying? All that in that process, not processed, but when you coming up you can either cook them or eat, like myself in the shade just explain my chips.
Speaker 2I'm saying probably you, probably probably straight so there it is, man so that's, that's, that's what's up. Okay, so that's gonna be an interesting little three three-way joint. So we miss robert alia ramen noodles. It's gonna be on instagram, probably either tomorrow or the day after, I don't know. Y'all just check it out whenever it drops and y'all vote, not like this shit. What do we got next? Song of the Day.
Speaker 3Song of the Day.
Turn Up's Song of the Day
Speaker 2Song of the Day. So, ladies and gentlemen, this one is going to be interesting because this will probably be the first song of the day that I actually didn't even like when I first heard the song. But without further ado, my song of the day is ti's 24th. Let me say it again ti's 24th song came out april 29th 2003, 2003. What were you in?
Speaker 1Oh, I was in Florida, tanaka.
Speaker 2where were you in 2003?
Speaker 3Seattle.
Speaker 2I was in California so I'm not gonna lie a lot of southern stuff I didn't really I didn't really get. So this is what I think. This is probably the first song it was either this or Never Scared where I discovered TI. The song came out April 29, 2003. The song 24 is by TI and it's a boastful rap song. It's about the luxurious lifestyle and success. Alright, let's pause for a second. What happened? Who are we talking?
Speaker 3about. She said that's literally a week after I was born. Oh baby who?
Speaker 2said that and then and then. Whoever the little m5 is like you, that old, it's crazy. Oh, that's beautiful dang. So they're aging us, good Lord, they don't even know how old we are.
Speaker 1Anyway, so.
Speaker 2Song 24 by TI is a vocal rap song about his notorious lifestyle and success. He brags about his expensive jewelry, cars and other possessions and his ability to attract women. The song title refers to the fact that he wears 24 karat gold jewelry and rides on 24 inch rides. It was track number seven on his second album, Trap Music, and it was released under Grand Hustle, which was under Atlantic Tanaka let me ask you this when did Grand Hustle change the Hustle Gang?
Speaker 2What year was that? I'm just curious. It has nothing to do with the first there's opposites, I'd say probably like 20.
Speaker 3I'm trying to think of Trouble man. If that album was on a Hustle Gang, is that Trouble Heavy in the head? Is that that one?
Speaker 2Yeah, we'll ball and go get it, alright before we go any further with that, let's see I want to say like 2010, 2012. Yeah, I want to say that too, but is there a reason why he did that? Was he getting sued or something? That he had changed his name, or?
Speaker 3he just was just like. I think he probably just wanted to. What's it called Rebrand? Rebrand the kind of fresh, you know, the fresh for the new generation.
Speaker 2Got you, got you, got you All right. So the sample used in the song was from a song from the 1920s called and I'm not going to lie to y'all, I'm going to completely fuck up the name of this song. I have no idea what it just says Turandot, act 2 by Giamacco Puccini. Do any of y'all want to try that out? Was that accurate? Sorry, I'm just sitting there in the face. That right, there is that. Look, right, you're coming. You come up with Cheney. That's the arm, that's the little joint that everybody else does I mean, not everybody, that's the course. That's. That's where he got that promise. He probably didn't get that from that. It's the da-na-na, da-na-na, da-na-na-na. That's where he got that from. He probably didn't get that from that first song. That exact song but that's where the cadence came from is a song from the 1920s, and so everybody, every rap song after 24, took it as well.
Speaker 2I'm trying to think what other songs of it's crazy on top of my head right now. I can't think of none, but there's, like hella, songs I can think of that have stolen that. Oh, rich flex, that's what it was. I remember that I was trying to think of one, but, um, okay, yeah, um, there is a music video for 24. The music video 24 is featured rappers flaunting his wealth. Oh, my bad. Rewind that. The music video uh features ti and he's flaunting his wealth and luxury. Um, he's showing wearing expensive jewelry, driving fancy cars and surrounded by his homeboys and beautiful women. There's only like two people I can honestly name from that. Uh, I can think of off the top of my head that was in that video. Now dj drama and now it's a little ball that I can think of. I think that's it.
Speaker 2But, um, what I like about the song is I always love the beat and the energy of the song. The energy of the song like is like. It's like I feel like that's why people like take the, you know the just to show homage to the song, because, like that song, I feel like that song is kind of classic, kind of not classic. It's timeless, you know. So, yeah, I feel like that song is really time. I feel like because what's actually crazy about that is that. Um, what's funny about it is I remember playing that song. Um, we used to play that song on the bus when we were in marching band like get us, like hype, but at the time the song was old. Like at that time the song was old, so like us playing, it was kind of interesting that that was the song we chose to like get hyped for a football game.
Speaker 3But yeah, let's see. That's so dope that y'all were playing it.
Speaker 2Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, my bad, my bad, that's not what. I mean, I didn't mean yeah, no, I didn't mean that we played the song.
Speaker 3We were on on the bus and we'd play the song like we'd have, like a speaker and that'd be the song like we'd be on the bus like money. Yeah, that's not now. We didn't. I don't get to play now we didn't. No, we probably could have, though we probably could have, but no, we didn't.
Speaker 2We didn't play that, but um, yeah. So dj toon made the beat. The song pe peaked on the Billboard Top 100 charts at number 10, and it peaked on the R&B charts at 24 and 15 on the rap charts and it is, according to Wikipedia, certified gold. The critics generally praised 24 for its catchy melodies and TI's energetic performance and the song's infectious vibe. However, some critics also noticed that the song's lyrics were very shallow and focused primarily on materials and possession. So I'm gonna go back to that story I was telling y'all about. So the first time I ever heard the song was on my mom's like mix cd and tanaka. I don't know if you remember this story that I told you, but it was a mix cd that I'll never forget because on it was PINP the remix. Do you remember this story and it for some? I've never heard PINP remix the whole way through because it would start with Snoop Dogg's part and then it would skip, like it'd be like. I forgot how the song goes, but it's, I don't know what you heard about me.
Speaker 2Yeah, I drive a Cadillac, ride a Pern, cause I'm a Like and it would just skip, like, and it would just skip until you fucking cut it off. And then so I remember the second song was 24's and I heard it and I think I'm like, I think I'm like maybe like 10 or something, and I was was like what the fuck is this shit next like? And I was just like this is not it, like the fuck is this. And so honestly and truthfully don't know when I finally like went back and listened to it and was like, wow, like I love this song. But after a while, after a while I uh, you know, probably in one of my favorite ti songs was interesting about this. I found interesting about the ti at the time. Apparently ti got arrested while on tour and provide uh violated his probation and then got sentenced to three years. Did he do all those three years? Because I feel like like that's what I'm saying. So like, how long did he do?
Speaker 3I'm not sure, but that was that kind of. That kind of led to the whole Urban Legend. You know, because if you remember the Motivation video, he had the prison suit on.
Speaker 3You know, and I think that affected, kind of like like Wait, was that video or was that or was that? Yeah, I think asap, oh, asap, motivation, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um, I think that affected, I think, his album one for urban legend, because he wasn't able to fully support the album because he had bj's on right okay well, yeah, so, um, yeah, man, that's, that's all I really got on that.
Speaker 2Um, if you want to hear like the real beginning of trap music because at the time was actually interesting about trap music is that like trap music wasn't really a name yet, it was still called gangsta rap, and so like, honestly, if it wasn't for TI, we probably wouldn't have, we probably wouldn't have, uh, trap music. But so If you wanna hear A really early version Of trap music, I highly recommend you Listen to that album Trap music. But I would definitely Recommend you Listen to 24th If you haven't already.
Speaker 3So that's Turn up song of the day Um.
Speaker 2Oh, before we move on, nasha, are you familiar with 24?
Speaker 1Yeah, what was the first time? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1What were you about to ask? The first time I heard it probably when I was living in Florida, but I think, similar to Turn Up's experience, when I first heard it, I wasn't like that impressed. I think I probably saw the video on the 16th office and I think it really took me a bath when I started skating and like that song came on and ladders like went crazy. Right, I was like, oh, I was new, I'm into. You know, I was new. I went to atlanta, I knew the skating. So I'm just like, oh, wow, so that that that was surprising.
Speaker 2But yeah, I, I do like that song, more so now than I did initially when I first heard it so let me ask you this do you feel like it's a situation where you just kept hearing the song and it's like all right, it's growing on?
Speaker 1me Probably yes and no, because I do like the beat of the song. If you ask me today to tell you a lyric, I could not tell you anything that's not in the chorus.
Speaker 3That's crazy, I think that's not in the chorus Well probably so Right yeah. That's crazy. I think that we all agree on that, though the first time I heard it I didn't even care for it.
Speaker 2You didn't care for it. Oh, so you're saying what so?
Speaker 3and then it grew on me. I don't know if it was like a. I guess that's a good thing, though you want a song that like. I feel like I didn't really like. I really was like dang, like, what is this like? And I think it's wild, how uh, but it's like. At least it make you feel something, though, right, you either really loved it or really didn't, you know. And then it eventually grew on me. What's interesting, my roommate pointed out, though he was like it's like a pirate chant.
Speaker 2Yeah, I do remember this conversation.
Speaker 3Is that a?
Speaker 2pirate chant yeah pirate chant. Like something that was.
Speaker 3You know, and I was like damn, I didn't even think about it like that. I didn't either, until you told me that and I was like damn, I didn't even think about it like that. I didn't either, until you told me that and I was like damn, that's actually pretty funny.
Speaker 2I'm like an old pirate yeah. That's actually pretty funny that you brought that up, because I would have never thought about that. But all right, so I just got to say one more thing and then we're done with the song of the day. Ti. We need answers. Bumping number 8 on NWA Straight Outta Compton. Why the fuck are you bumping? Express Yourself Like? Why is that the song you chose?
Speaker 2You could have picked Dope man. You could have picked 8 Ball. You could have picked Compton's In the House, even Straight Outta Compton, I probably wouldn't bump that Hell. Fuck the police you picked. Express yourself like that's. That's crazy. I don't know that's good. Are you familiar with express yourself by NWA? I want you to listen to that song. You think, is that getting bumped in a 64 Chevrolet with 24 for you? My Freedom of speech, man?
Speaker 1I mean look.
Speaker 3I guess you can bump whatever you want, but like. What did uh?
Speaker 2I mean probably, If that's the case, I want that to come out of TI's mouth. I don't want nobody to look. I don't want him to be like, yeah, what he said, Okay what do we do?
Speaker 3Oh yeah, just catch up on what do we miss.
Speaker 1Yeah, what do we miss? What the fuck? I feel like the Shaq.
Speaker 3Shaq. Yeah, Shaq going to go kind of crazy. Go up a little bit. Yeah, I'm on, all right, hold on.
Speaker 2Let me see my old eyes. Let me see I think this is hold on, I think that's Malik, I believe, and if that is Malik, shout out Malik. But yeah, they're talking about 2003. And then Sashie was talking about that was literally when I was born, or something like that. And yeah, let's see. He said flying down 285, but I'm focused. I felt that that's funny. Shout out to Mix CDs, burn CDs. She is you even old enough to be burning CDs? What you talking about, born in 2003.
Speaker 3Shout out to Z man Z on the shake Shout out to Z, shout out to Z.
Speaker 2But yeah, okay, so I'll just. I'll just say this. I'm going to say that's like the positive song of the NWA album. I'm expressing with my full capabilities. I mean it's a cool song, I like the song. It's just like, out of all the songs you chose, express Yourself. I mean at least it wasn't Express Yourself by Madonna. I mean, yeah, you're not wrong about that. That'd be a little weird, for sure. But I'm just saying like look All my people in the chat right now except Mario. I know Mario already knows the fucking song. Go to NWA Shire of Compton and check out Express Yourself.
Speaker 2And like I don't know, that shit is crazy to me. To think that's the song he brushed, so it's hilarious, but anyway, so yeah, so, um, yeah, so 24s tis. That's my um song of the day shit, you right.
Speaker 3I do remember that video of him riding down in that joint. Well, I think there's a scene of him riding down on the highway, you know with his whip?
Speaker 2Is that the question? Just out of curiosity, you don't have to know who that guy is, would you? That's riding in the car with?
Speaker 3you, I'm not gonna lie, I ain't seen the video in a minute, so I gotta Ross, I play that video so often.
Tanaka's Album of the Day
Speaker 2I just keep seeing him do this Like I, that's, like I don't even know who he is, but yeah, yeah we don't have to watch that my album of the day is gonna be an album called country grandma hot shit, be an album called Country Grandma.
Speaker 1Ah, shit.
Speaker 3And this was Nelly's debut. Obviously, we've been talking a lot about the St Louis Six.
Speaker 2And this has been off-air, though I don't think we've actually oh, we haven't addressed it on the podcast. Well, I don't think so. What was the first conversation? You said you had a deep dive on an artist, but I don't think the other. I don't think the other um episode we we talked about. Okay, I forgot what's our girl.
Speaker 3Oh, little john, that's what little john you did, little john, right, right I don't think we did saying women's tix, but no, we've been talking about right a lot yeah so so basically this was Nelly's debut album and it's always interesting for myself to hear about the history that kind of led up to these moments Because, you know, obviously we enjoy the music and remember the release and all the concerts and singles and stuff, but we don't actually know the behind the scenes of what's brewing and led up to that moment and everything. Recently there was a lawsuit from Ali and the St Lunatics.
Speaker 2Which ended up just being Ali.
Speaker 3Ended up just being Ali, the St Louis, st Lunatics six. They all asked to have their names removed from the lawsuit, so Ali was the only one. But this album had a lot of hits. It had Country Grammar, it had Ride With Me, it had EI. I'm trying to think if there's anything else, then just a lot of good album cuts, I feel like you can find me in St Louis.
Speaker 2Shout out to the eternal song of the day from a couple episodes ago.
Speaker 3And so, fun fact, je Epperson that's who produced a lot of the album. It's a white dude, it's a white dude. So, yeah, man, he was like the go-to white guy. He's just banging out all these beats Fingers in my fingers.
Speaker 2That's crazy.
Speaker 3I would have never known that. And I guess the story behind Country Grammar was that the song at least Nelly heard the beat and he's just like bro, like this is out of here, like y'all gotta hop on this, like this, you know, and I guess nobody really like took to it. You know, I'm saying I guess they claim that they had helped, you know, like little parts here and there with the song, but at the end of the day nelly was the one that really wanted to do it, because nobody really wanted it. So he went and recorded it, took it to the club because he was so excited about it and, you know, let the dj, you know, break the record in the club and it went crazy and that's why it was called Hot Shit, because that was the original name of the song but, obviously they couldn't have that for branding purposes and stuff, so they added, you know.
Speaker 3So, yeah, but this work is interesting because Ali has a lot of claims that he wrote most of the country grammar, or him and the Saint Lunatics, they all helped Nelly pretty much write the whole album. So it's to the point where when people be like, oh, I miss that old Nelly, like that country grammar nelly, it hurts ollie because he's like, damn, what y'all saying is like you miss, like when I was writing for nelly, you know saying like y'all miss that, you know, and so, um, it's a really interesting thing because it's like I feel like both parties are hurt, like nelly and ali, and so to see them go back and forth like it obviously it's not a good look and I wish that they would, you know, just sit down as men and kind of hash that out, you know. But, um, I don't know if it's a thing where it's like they too old and it's like too far past, that like too much damage has been done that they can't resolve that you know. But yeah, basically Ali, ali just played such a weird kind of role, though, because it's like he didn't want to be famous. You know what I'm saying, but then he wants all this credit and it's just like, I don't know it's. It's like because I could see nelly's point.
Speaker 3You know, like ali maybe didn't feel like doing all the interviews or doing all the shows and being on the road like he wanted to be with his kids, you know. So it's like you can't, I don't know. I feel like you can't have it both ways. You know what I'm saying. Like you want to get paid like a superstar, but you don't want to pop out to everything. But Nelly was the one that was always doing that. Like he was going to all the shows, all that. He always wanted to be the star. Like be a star though.
Speaker 3Like he wanted that and so, um, I don't know, it's just kind of an interesting dynamic going on, you know, uh, with all that and then, um, I don't know. I mean I see why Nelly blew up though because, like his, his voice was the most distinct out of the St Lunatics, you know, like his whole delivery and everything Because I guess they said one of the A&Rs had just chosen Nelly out of the group. Basically, it's like he's a star. They could hear it. That goes back to Nelly said he was a big fan of Bone Thugs and so that's why he kind of had that. The melodic rapping. Yeah, so is. That's always interesting because it's like dang as much as, like you emulate your idols, it will never sound like them no you know what I mean.
Speaker 3Like no matter how hard you try, so it's like it ends up creating a new, whole new sound. You know for the mean. Like no matter how hard you try, so it's like it ends up creating a new, whole new sound. You know, for the next generation, yeah, but that's what transforms into yourself.
Speaker 3Yeah, exactly exactly so, but um, but yeah. So it's crazy because you know, city Spud, he was on ride with me and he pretty much missed like the whole glory of, like, the St Lunatics and that was, you know, because I think they had shot the video or about to shoot the video, and then he had to go to jail because he was caught up in a situation.
Speaker 2Oh, he wasn't in the video.
Speaker 3All right, i'm'm not sure. I couldn't remember if he was.
Speaker 2I thought I saw somebody rapping his part okay, I mean I wouldn't even know what it looks like so yeah, um, so yeah.
Speaker 3So anyway, that whole situation happened. They told him just take the charge.
Speaker 3He'll probably get like three years and then like he'd be able to come out with them and all that he ended up getting eight, and like that was pretty much, I would say, the peak of nelly's career we think from definitely 2000 to like 2008 the 2000s basically, yeah, anything you know, 2010s is yeah, so, so yeah, it was so unfortunate, but but yeah, backstory on the same lunatics, real, briefly, see, it's two different claims already from the, because Nelly says that it was him, city Spud and, I think, kwon, what's his name? Kwon Kwon, kwon Kwon, and they were all school buddies and they were the St Lunasics. And then they added Murphy Lee and Ali. They added Murphy Lee and Ali, and then Ali says that they had a thing where they they want to create a group, but he was saying all the rules that they wanted for the group, like we're not going to talk about gangbanging, we're not going to talk about killing people you know what I'm saying? All these different things and slowly, like people just started leaving the room because they didn't want to be a part of it, to the point where it was like those were the people that were left in the room and Ali was saying how he so they do agree that Ali was kind of one, that he's the oldest he kind of taught them how to rap and like rhyme schemes and stuff like that and different flows and everything of that nature.
Speaker 3So, but Ali also got them signed to a bad contract and that was a situation where they approached Nelly. They they were like, yeah, you gotta sign this contract. And he's like wait, what? Like I wanna discuss it. You know, with my group. They're like everybody signed except you. And he's like what, everybody signed it but me. So at that point he felt like his back was against the wall, like if he didn't sign he wasn't gonna be in the group. You know, they were just gonna find somebody else. So he thought they was going to sign the contracts as a group, like a whole crew. But I guess Ali had convinced everybody to sign it because he had read like a book on the music business and so Nelly had to sign it. Just, you know, and that's when they had their minor hit at the St Lunatics. That was good, like locally, but it didn't really blow up nationally. So when the second contract came around, I feel like because of the first situation, they didn't really trust Ali. So then that's when, you know, nelly ended up going to New York.
Speaker 3They over there talking to him and um, he claimed, you know his. He states that, like you know, I was always trying to get the group signed but it just wasn't happening. Like nobody was looking for us, like that, Nobody was trying to sign a group. And then the dude that the A&R he was talking to was if he had worked with Mase and he had worked with Biggie. And if you know the backstory on both Mase and Biggie, mase was part of a group called Children of the Corn you know what I'm saying and that was like a Harlem group rap group. Biggie was obviously part of junior mafia, you know. So he knows what he's doing as far as like groups and then like a, you know, solo artist. So he was like yo, I know you want to get your group signed, but it's it's not looking like anybody's bite and not trying to sign like a group. The best you could do is probably get a solo joint and then put your group on. And so that was kind of the agreement of what happened, because Murphy leaving spoke on it like he was like the only reason I got an album is because Nelly did so well, you know, because the record label they sold so much that Nelly was like no, I'm not going to drop another album until you give my folks an album.
Speaker 3So anyway, just a little backstory on Country Grammar. I hope the St Lunatics all get it together, including Ali, you know, because yeah, man, it's just unfortunate. But debut album Nelly, country Grammar, be sure to check it out. Introduction to the World. I really feel like you know, talk to bottom. You know it's a very cohesive project and you know we got the hits on there. So you know, talk to bottom. You know it's a very cohesive project and you know we got the hits on there, so you know. So what's actually interesting about?
Speaker 2this album, not even an album, but Gina, you remember Gina? Yeah, she put me on to Thickie, thick Girl.
Speaker 3Yep.
Speaker 2And that's like the last song that I remember getting from off of that album was that song, but um ali always mentions that one oh does he and he's on that song, isn't he?
Speaker 3he's like yeah, yeah, you know diggy, dig, girl, like he's over there rapping around. He's like oh, yeah, the next one. You know what I'm saying? The flow.
Speaker 2He's like remembering the flow and all that and stuff right what was I about to say? Oh, so, as we always ask around this time. So, tanaka, have you heard?
Speaker 3all of Nelly's projects except for the country album. I didn't hear the country album. There's a country.
Speaker 2I didn't know you had a country album. Yeah, yeah, out of the albums you've heard, where does country grammar sit?
Speaker 3I say like probably top three, top three. I don't think it's one. Well, for me it's not one. I like the Suit album you know, that's personally, though. Look, I'm asking you so it'd be Suit, and then we'll be after Suit it's a toss up, I'd say between Country Grammar and Nellyville.
Speaker 1I feel that have you heardmar and Nellyville, nellyville I feel that Hashea have you heard all of Nelly's albums. I've not heard all of them.
Speaker 3Which ones have yours?
Speaker 1Probably the first. Oh thanks, probably the first. I think I heard the first two and then just singles from the others.
Speaker 2So if you had to choose between Nellyville and Country Grammar, which one would you go?
Speaker 1with Nellyville.
Speaker 3I could relate to that. Well, I could feel that what about you?
Speaker 2I don't think I've heard any Nelly albums all the way through but, like I said, so I that's probably the most I've ever heard. The nelly album was country grammar because when I was younger, my my uncle used to play it when we'd be riding around with him right yeah that's what's your.
Speaker 3What's your view on nothing? Just curious, like as an artist.
Speaker 2He was like my first glimpse of a rapper in life right like he was, like the first person. I'm like, oh okay, like he might be my favorite rapper I think julia said that.
Speaker 3Uh, he stopped after another bill in saint louis I'm trying to think what was that was?
Speaker 2was it sweat and suit?
Speaker 3after them. Yeah, yeah, rob Downey changed it longer but in between that, so it was Country Grammar St.
Speaker 2Lunatic's album. Nellyville Murphy Lee album, because I remember you said so after every Nelly album he tried to put it there, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1So which album is tip?
Speaker 2drill, tip drills on the remix album.
Speaker 3Remix album yeah, because tip drill is just the remix of er oh okay, yeah, so that came out, I think 2003. Don't want money, air like we don't give a fuck, yep.
Speaker 2Honestly, I didn't even know that was a remix of EI until I heard which is interesting. You know, there's like two different versions of Tick Drill. Nah, I didn't know that. Yeah, like there's the version that's the video version where you're throwing money in the air like we don't give a fuck, and then there's a version that's just him. I'm a sucker for cornrows and manicured toe that is interesting speaking of. Does anybody else have we talked about that, tanaka? The fact that he says manicured toes?
Speaker 1well, you want him to say pedicure I mean it's easier um I think it's like st louis talk oh, is that st louis.
Speaker 3It's crazy because, like that's, that's a verse, that ali so ali, um, because he's taking credit for many gear toes.
Speaker 3No, no, he's saying how he was saying how. Um, because obviously he understands people are like oh, you're just over here taking credit for like all of Nelly's lyrics and stuff, and he's like. He's like don't get me wrong Like Nelly can rap you know what I'm saying but it just takes him a lot longer to write. You know bars and stuff, you know. So, like Nelly could give you like a hot 16, like one verse, but to finish a whole song was where he would have the issue and that's when they would come in and help him finish. Like the rest of the song. Yeah, so it's like that's why he mentions that verse, though on the shake your tail feather, like he's like that's nelly, like top to bottom, like that's all, that's that's what he do. Like he could give you a hot verse, you know I'm saying, but like, as far as the whole song, it takes him a lot longer, you know so. But, yeah, shake your tail further though oh, what's up?
Speaker 3shout out to Nelly come to grandma.
Speaker 2Yeah, all right, so we got what we got. Next DJ Talk. Who's DJ Talk?
Speaker 3Yeah, dj Talk, dj Talk.
Speaker 2Beautiful, that's beautiful. We have a shit with this. So this isn't per se a question. This is more just an open topic. This is something I thought about because I was just like I don't know. I don't know. Just think of the person that I am. I just find it hard to open up to customers, in a sense where it's like I'm like conversing with them and like being friendly with them, because I'm not gonna lie. Certain customers, I feel like, try to take advantage, and I mean take advantage in a sense of where you do get friendly and you are talking and you know it's cordial and all that, but then all of a sudden they'll hit you with a hey, turn up, can you get me inside? I ain't got, I ain't got the money for it and I'm not gonna lie. That's like one thing. That's like like okay.
Speaker 1So you're obviously just trying to take advantage you feel like it's hard for you to get close to customers because they present as opportunists sometimes yes okay what are your thoughts on that? Um, I mean, I only experienced that once, and that was during the whole lotto thing at cafeaffe, talk about a clusterfuck.
Speaker 2Shout out to Mulatto for putting that shit together, that shit. Shout out to the designer that put all that shit. Yeah, that was lit it fully transformed the inside of my head. Yeah, that shit is.
Speaker 1But I only experienced that one time where people were hitting me. But I only experienced that one time where people were hitting me asking like people who I don't typically speak to regularly or who don't hit my line and was like, oh, you're DJing today and I'm like y'all don't never be pressed for when I'm DJing, but now y'all want to be pressed. Yeah, are you going? Can you get me in? I mean, it's a free event. You can get to just rsvp or not.
Speaker 2And then it's not even. It's not even just to get in things. Hey, can you give me a ride? Or hey, can you, can I can you? Oh my, oh, let's not even talk about. Well, I don't know if tanaka wants to talk about this, but there was a certain person that thought they were cool with him and was like hey, can I stay at your house? I don't know Exactly, I'm not going to lie to y'all for the people that are watching or the people that are listening.
Speaker 3They be trying to hunt on us, like bro.
Speaker 2that's why I'm really not open to a lot of different people, because, like bro, don't get, don't, don't, don't get to asking me questions like that like, like, I'm like, like, the only time the only time I talk to you is at is at where I yeah, I was thinking that apologies, let's talk about it.
Speaker 3I went to the bathroom and I had the mic on. Oh, you did so. They heard you.
Speaker 2Oh it was you they?
Speaker 3heard me, it's all good.
Speaker 2Oh, my Jesus, Mario, and then.
Speaker 1Turner said to Troy a lot of shit.
Speaker 2Oh my God, they probably didn't hear what you said. Bro, I'm glad you weren't taking a shit bro.
Speaker 1God damn, but did y'all hear the sink turn on afterwards? That's what's important.
Speaker 3Oh, my God.
Speaker 1Of course, yeah, let's talk about it.
Speaker 2Mario, Did you hear the sink turn on? Did you watch this?
Speaker 3Of course, man, Of course you can smell the. What's the soap? The soap on my hands.
Speaker 2I got you. Okay, look, you just got to make sure. But yeah, bro, so yeah, that's my bad.
Speaker 3What was the question?
Speaker 2so it's not a question, it's just more of a. I feel like it's hard for me to get like cordial or friendly with customers, because some of them like to take advantage and you talk to them long enough and they're like, hey, can't, can you, can you get me in? Or hey, can you do this? Hey, can you, can I borrow ten dollars? Or hey, can I, like I said extreme can I say yeah, can I stay at your house?
Speaker 1yeah, for sure, I think that's a well knowing you.
Speaker 2I think that's just a general statement in general, like it's not just customers, it's just people no, no, I mean as a as uh as devon devon is prettyvin is a lot easier to talk to than turn up. A lot easier and honestly and truthfully, if I get to know you as a person, I'm probably going to be able to determine if you can stay at my house or not.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2But me talking to you at the strip club, or me just talking to you at the diner, or me just talking to you at the skating rink? No, absolutely not.
Speaker 1That makes sense, I think, with that. Like I said, I've only experienced that one time. In general I'm not a fan of opportunists, which is like I'm just trying to get close to you because I'm trying to get something. But I guess for me that's why I kind of more so operate on like low if you will, like I don't walk around, small thing, who I am, what I do, what connections I have, like it's just, if you know me, you get to know me. For me, and then by default of being close to me, then the resources that I have, I will gladly share them with you, you know. But yeah, I think it comes with like just setting boundaries, so like I just even think of like the diner and how people think I'm a hard, but because I'm like you setting a boundary.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's just like.
Speaker 1I wanna do this. Can I put my bag here? No, you cannot. People be like do you have an outlet? There are 12 million outlets behind there and I'm like no, but that's another thing too, like it could be something as little as that.
Speaker 2Like where you're like they obviously tell you we can't hold your shit. They're like hey, we come here so often. Can you just hold my shit? That's one. But that's why I'm so. Don't talk to me. I'm not trying to get to know you, I don't care.
Speaker 3I'm not holding you shit, bro, don't follow me. The rules, even they, were like where's your mic cover? Oh, I don't need one. Yes, you do.
Speaker 1I wasn't asking you. You know what I'm saying. That's why you should know the rules. Then, and I tell people all the time what you don't understand is if I make the exception for you, I have to make the exception for everybody, for everybody. It makes my job harder.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1And then if something happens to your stuff that you ask me to hold, then I'm held responsible.
Speaker 2Oh no, I'm not, that's your fault.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I tell everybody that you trying to leave your shit in the DJ booth, Leave it at your own risk. So just know there's a lot of motherfuckers that come into the DJ booth, so just know you're leaving it at your risk. That's on you.
Speaker 1I ain't watching your shit. What's? Been your experience as the most welcoming of the three here.
Speaker 2Yeah, mr Parking, as the most welcoming of the three here.
Speaker 3Yeah, mr parking lot pimp, I'm not gonna lie bro.
Speaker 2That's why I don't hang out afterwards, um don't get to know me I don't know, don't get to know me, it's crazy. Oh, if I want to know you, I'll get to know you, I promise yeah, I don't know it's.
Speaker 3It's definitely a fine line for sure. Um, yeah, it's tough, it's tough man, it's tough, it's tough man, it's tough. I really I feel like I've become better about setting boundaries and just knowing, like you know, when to back up. Yeah, just wanting to like, let people know, like, yeah, like I can't, I can't do it, can't do it for you Know what I'm saying? Just plain and simple. It's crazy. Them folks had hit me during Bell Out Monday and I'm over there filming. They want me to come get them in the line. It's just like bro, like.
Speaker 2There's a couple people that hit me with that, but I tell everybody the same thing and it's honest I don't be on my phone when I'm DJing so sorry I be filming when the session going on.
Speaker 3Once I'm in there, it's like I'm locked in, yeah, and so the end, the four day I ride with them and all that, but I hit them before I went in there. So you should have let me know then, like, or at least give me a heads up. You did. But once you're in that line, once I'm already in the ring and moving and grooving in there, it's like it's it's rats, because, yeah, I already started recording and stuff. Especially if I started recording, there's a slight chance that he you know I'm parlaying, and still you know saying what's up to folks that maybe then I could you know what I'm saying accommodate you. But once I'm on the floor skating and recording, it's a wrap, like I'm already in the zone, like you know what I mean and all that. So, but as far as djing, yeah, I don't be on my phone when I'm djing like right.
Speaker 2So yeah, and honestly, the only time I am on my phone is when I'm like looking I'm probably looking at like the format of the night to just see like if I'm doing, if I'm making the right time decisions.
Speaker 3But yeah, I'm not checking my messages right, I'm not checking it for you, right?
Speaker 2so yeah, so, yeah, so, and and I mean I'm not gonna lie, trying to accommodate like just piggyback off what you said, I'm not gonna lie bro, because once to accommodate, like just piggyback off what you said, I'm not going to lie bro, cause once I accommodate one, I got to accommodate all. And then on top of that, that means that that that one thing that one accommodate is going to turn into that.
Speaker 3Yeah, let me stay at your house. It's just a can of worms.
Speaker 1This man is asking me to stay at your house.
Speaker 2Oh, bro, like I'm not, I'm not, I'm not gonna lie, that's I haven't got that question yet. But like I hate roommates, I've already had my roommate situation.
Speaker 2I've had many, I mean I've had a few people come here and feel welcome and be like, playfully, be like you want a roommate and I'd be like no, not at all like I don't, I don't like I've come to the point where I get into my house and I'm like, wow, I really don't like people Like I would love to just stay here by myself for a couple of inches, hibernate by myself. So that's just more personal stuff. But I don't know, I don't know if there's a moral to this conversation, but, like Tanakaaka, you gave a face. Is this something?
Speaker 3oh, um, you're about to ask yeah, no, it's not really a face, it's just um why I get to ask do y'all feel like, once you live solo, like you could never go back to roommates ever again? Mentally I feel, like yes, yeah for me no
Speaker 1because, because, now that I think about it, I'm like dang like I think I've actually had roommates like oh, I don't think I've ever lived yes, I've had roommates for a long time, and then I lived by myself for a short time and then, being a people pleaser, ended up having roommates and it just was like a bad time for me and then went back to having roommates. I'm not opposed to having roommates. I think I'm more stern and solidified as far as what I look for for a roommate. So it's not a matter of oh, you can split bills and save money. I don't need help with that, I'm straight. I'd rather work harder to keep my peace than to live with somebody who.
Speaker 1I just can't deal with your personality or character and your lack of cleanliness. It's one thing if I'm messy, shut up.
Speaker 3I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 2I've gotten to the point where I'm like if I were to, just for some reason, I were to wake up and go to my kitchen and I would see somebody, I would just get irritated. I feel like I would get irritated to the point that it was like it'd be like a situation where, like I'd have a girl over, or like she would spend the night, or whatever, and I would walk to the kitchen. I just have to breathe in and breathe out. Why the fuck are you here? Why are you here? But yeah, I don't know. I feel like I'm better off. I don't know, maybe that is a little piece of Devin that's like yeah, let's talk about it.
Speaker 3No, I was really. Yeah, I appreciate that. That. No, he was just basically saying that I'd be in the cut, like I do be out there, but I still like, like he, he be peeping that I'd be in the cut. Though you know, I don't, I don't always talk to any and everybody. You know what I'm saying. I'm friendly, but it's not like like I don't, I don't know, I don't. He gets it man, he, he be out there seeing how I move look, look, look bro, as long as it makes sense to you bro yeah fuck you jb, you know checking in with folks briefly.
Speaker 1Well to your original statement. I think I don't mind supporting people, as long as it comes from a genuine place.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1And so the second. It starts to seem like I only hear from you or you only hit me when you need something. You're going to get cut.
Speaker 2Get the ugly side of it yeah. It's got to be genuine and it's got to make sense. It's got to be genuine, it's got to make sense. Yeah, that's like by some miracle, you do get a good deed out of me. It's just got to be genuine and it's got to make sense. That's it, that's it, that's it and that's all. Yeah, yeah, you got anything. It's like your mind racing. You got anything else.
Speaker 3you're trying to say no, I don't think so, man, I think that's mainly it, uh, because I I just be looking at like I don't ever ask you for anything he's like you know what I'm saying I need nothing from you yeah, I mean okay, but I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2I'm not a when it comes to that perspective. I don't want. When someone does ask for something, I don't like. I'm not a tick for tat type of person, like if I'm giving it to you, I'm just giving it to you yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3But I'm saying it's like when I fold started to get a wildin on what they asking for. It's like where you asked me for all this like well, people are mostly egocentric.
Speaker 2Oh, you're like where's my where's?
Speaker 3my love, no, no, it's just like. Sometimes I just be wondering what makes folks so comfortable to ask for all that when it's like you let them it's not really.
Speaker 1I don't think it's a matter of comfort. It's a matter of why the hell not? Yeah, it's like I. Most people are egocentric. Like I said, they worry about theirs and what they can get, how they can get it. They're seldomly thinking about how it affects or impacts other people.
Speaker 3I'm sick of this man laughing no, I just thought as long as why? Because? Because I was thinking about the nice and slow hoodie. Nice and slow hoodie Breezy was selling to. Oh, oh, beautiful. And he was like Tell him to say the story.
Speaker 2I vaguely remember the story, but basically it was Basically. He was like hey, this is is. Oh, how much is the jacket? The jacket is 40 bucks. Oh hey, do you think I can get it for 20? Because I'm gonna promote it or something? I'm gonna promote it and I'm always gonna wear it and some other shit like that. I don't know okay, did I ask you to promote it. Look, he'm just glad. I'm just glad it wasn't me over there.
Speaker 3And Breezy stood on the. He's like, look, no, we can't do it. Breezy was the perfect person.
Speaker 2Oh no, breezy is the shout out to Breezy.
Speaker 3Shout out to Breezy.
Speaker 2The perfect person to have at every merch table. He doesn't take any shit.
Speaker 1No, it was funny watching him doing that karaoke on his birthday. That was hilarious. I thought I was good at working on people. His face was inoculate. That was great.
Speaker 2I feel like Breezy's big enough that niggas won't try him. He's like, yeah, what you gonna do, nigga, Like I don't know.
Speaker 3It's just funny, because Breezy was like he was like good folks, was just like, look man, I'm just, I'm just trying to support man. It's like that's great, that's great that you're trying to support, but look, the price is the price like like and then he somehow came up with the money.
