Ladies and gentlemen, we are back. Tnt Podcast DJ Turnup, DJ Tanaka. We actually got a jam-packed episode tonight.
Speaker 2We started 2025 off with a blast.
Speaker 1Well, actually no, we already started.
Speaker 2Oh well, well, yeah, shout out to Gray Jackson, Shout out to Gray Jackson. He was the first episode.
Speaker 1So Tanaka knock let me.
Speaker 2Actually, I look at that as like a transition, like from 24 to 25.
Speaker 1I can see that as the time recording it was 24, so I get it um, so tonight, I mean, I guess we probably wouldn't be able to answer this until the next episode, but I don't know how does it feel that we do these episodes now once a month rather than, you know, first 15th, first 15th. How does it feel, honestly?
Speaker 2um, I mean, I'm cool with it. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3I mean, yeah, does it feel a little bit?
Speaker 2more spread out yeah, no, it does feel more spread out and um, I mean I think it's cool that we're having a guest on every episode, right, so yeah so it makes it.
Speaker 1I feel that okay, well, cool, well, without further ado let's, let's bring our guests in. We have um dj tonic with us, fellow delinquent, and we have, so so do we call you lavender or like okay, okay, lavender. So we gotta say the whole thing well, look, okay, cool, okay. So we have to say the whole thing is okay. Look, I don't know, I just gotta make sure we just want to.
Speaker 2We want to make sure we address you properly yeah, you don't know, okay.
Speaker 1So I'm gonna just say lavender and hopefully we'll be, we'll be good. So we have lavender and we have dj tonic on the chicken, the whole thing. Your highness dj tonic yeah, we don't, we don't care tony but now?
Speaker 2but we're on the rails, off the rails already um jesus christ.
Speaker 1We're off the rails already um, yeah, so tanaka, how you been man rails already, um yeah so, tanaka, how you been, man, frustrated, frustrated, bro. I can't even escape man. It's like yeah, so all right off of here I heard you yeah.
Speaker 2So what happened? Like november, I had injured myself. I had injured my right rib playing basketball. Then I healed up, I played basketball again, I injured my left rib.
Speaker 1Wait a minute, hold on, hold on Pause. Was it when we were doing the fellas night joint? No, oh, I was about to say, bro, you definitely wasn't playing like it. You had us sitting there waiting on you like it was after that.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, I was going to say so yeah, that's why it's frustrating, because, like I'm like dang what guy trying to tell me it's first my right rib, not a left tell us how. Tell us how the rib injury happened because I was I drive into in the paint and I had pump fake and the og had, like he got faked out so bad that he didn't have nowhere to land, except like right into me.
Speaker 6You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2So yeah, so you're that good, you're that nasty with it it's not even about that man, he just he's a big like he, one of them ogs, that's like if we compare his body to anybody, well, who would you compare his like, like? Brain to. I wouldn't say that big, but it's just like he just like solidly built. You know what I'm saying. So it's like if you run into him, like you're going to feel that.
Speaker 1Lil D. Please tell me this. Is you doing this, please, Good Lord? Sorry for the people that's not listening. We got Lil D in the building.
Speaker 2Lavender's entourage.
Speaker 1And then he's like we putting him on the NFL Blitz for the people that know. You know, the NFL Blitz is a league game.
Speaker 2I'm hoping he's, he's 14.
Speaker 1Okay yeah.
Speaker 2And this is your first time playing it, right.
Speaker 6You said 15.
Speaker 2First time First time playing.
Speaker 1First time playing, so he has no idea what he's doing, no idea what's going on, he's just exploring right now.
Speaker 6Look, as long as he's having a good time, that's all that matters. You know, you suppose that the object when you're the ball handler, you're supposed to be breaking the defender's ankles, not having the defender break your ribs.
Speaker 2I'm just saying I'm saying I was in the paint, and you know how them folks get about being in the paint. They're like all right, you're going to come down here.
Speaker 1You know what I'm saying you better be ready to be in For the people that don't watch basketball. Please explain.
Speaker 2Basically, when you drive in close to the hoop, they call it the paint because it's close to the basket. I pumped fake so I acted like I was going to shoot. I didn't actually shoot it and then he went for the fake. He was just up in the air stuck, but I still had the scope. Then I went up to score and then he landed right into me. So both of your wrists hurt right now, nah, just my left side.
Speaker 6So did you get that and one though. So that's what.
Speaker 2I asked so after it happened, because really what happens? He collided into me and then the way I fell, I hit my head on the floor.
Speaker 1So you didn't even see if you made it or not, exactly.
Speaker 2Because I got the wind knocked out of me. I couldn't breathe for a second, so I was like, that's the worst.
Speaker 5Is basketball that serious yeah?
Speaker 2Like, do you like playing basketball that much? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my first time.
Speaker 1Yeah, he literally had us strangers like this is a complete strangers he was playing with and we were his homeboys. His friends were sitting on the sideline like, yep, ready to wrap this up? You ready to knock out? I guess not another game. They're doing another game apparently. Yeah, it was, it was bad, it was it was bad, it was, it was bad.
Speaker 2We'll sit there but hey, man, as long as you had a good time. I remember you said you was just trying to. Nah, I felt bad, I shouldn't have.
Speaker 1Aw shut up.
Speaker 2I really shouldn't have I get in that mode when it's like you feel me. You see, you see nothing, it's not right.
Speaker 1Feel that. Well enough about us. Lavender, how was your day today? I don't work today so that's. That's a normal job.
Speaker 5That's a good that's good, that's good, that's so nice. People Turns out.
Speaker 1Turns out right.
Speaker 5Having a normal job Is not as fucked up as the city girls make it.
Speaker 1No, it's not. Not at all, it's really not.
Speaker 5Like it's really not.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 5When you can just Go to work and, like you know what you have to do that day. You do what you got to do, you know how much money you're going to make, and then you go the fuck home. It's a very nice feeling.
Speaker 2I feel like, as long as the working condition like cool, like the people that you work with and stuff like that, my job is cool as fuck. That's all I'm saying. You see the coat they just ordered everybody.
Speaker 5They just ordered everybody. It's like warm. The Christmas party was lit. I won like $150 at my Christmas party. Must be nice. I worked in a strip club hotel. They never gave me $100. They never. Maybe I can get a free drink.
Speaker 3Well, we've never had a.
Speaker 1Lil D press the button. What happened?
Speaker 7I was into y'all I was into that conversation. I forgot about the game.
Speaker 1Good Lord, you at least press pause. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I forgot about the game. I was into that conversation. He doesn't help me out, okay, I'm sorry it doesn't help me out. But, yeah, so. So what finally made you retire and retire the game? And get a regular job.
Speaker 5All right, a regular job. Alright, we're doing the real thing, right.
Speaker 1It's up to you. How many people from Gold Rush do you think listen to you? Um, probably, I don't know. I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea. Well, why don't you put my name on it? They're gonna know anyway. Yeah, um, I got.
Speaker 7I got fired from Gold Rush.
Speaker 5Oh good lord, oh jesus christ the laugh of the entourage all the dumb shit I did never got fired for. I never, got terminated. I got removed from the building. I got to a point where I couldn't go to the store right beside gold rush, all that shit.
Speaker 2This call came from corporate and that was store right beside gold rush all that shit. They always I ain't laughing you thugging like that.
Speaker 5This call came from corporate, and that was you're scamming these folks not these folks, not these folks. I ain't scamming nobody. Look, I'm saying gold rush checks are a little bit walkie, are they really?
Speaker 6And I was accused of that's interesting.
Speaker 1We had a friend that had a situation like that. That recently got fired. I'll tell you off, we'll talk about it off air.
Speaker 1Look, I'll just say this Lavender is probably the funniest story that I've ever heard at Gold Rush and I will never. I will never give this up when I heard it because I didn't see it. I heard it and it was the funniest shit ever. You were drunk. You were drunk one time, right, surprise, surprise. So here's the thing right, she was drunk and apparently she tried to blow out, to go and leave, and so they were like um no, you can't leave cause you're drunk.
Speaker 1And she was like okay, well, can I at least give my keys so I can have, cause they're attached to my car, and she was like yeah. She was like yeah, I'm finna, call the lift, she calls the, she calls the Lyft. Right, and she gets in the Lyft and the Lyft drives her to her car. She gets in the car, bro. When I heard that, I was like that is genius, that is fucking genius, doesn't that what happened?
Speaker 5It drove up the street, I said, hey, you can charge me whenever you just take me back to my car. But look, just drive up the street. He busted you at the Family Dollar. Then just take me back to my car, but look, just drive up the street. He busted you at the family dollar.
Speaker 1Then came back and dropped me off in my car. I left the damn premises already.
Speaker 5That is genius by the time I got to bird king, I was being a vegetarian this time, so bird king had the impossible burgers uh-huh by the time I got to that one on riverdale road, I was suspended for two weeks. That was my first offense. That was like the first thing I said, bro, that was genius, that was genius. That's not genius.
Speaker 1That is fucking hilarious, because it's hilarious.
Speaker 6It's the opposite of genius.
Speaker 5Like how demure is the opposite of sexy, right Turns out.
Speaker 1Just because you can't see that clear doesn't mean everybody else can't see that clear.
Speaker 5I thought all right, there's no way they don't pay attention to shit anyway. So why the fuck my car is on the? You know, it's that first row car. Yeah, my car was on the second row car, y'all don't watch that shit yeah. Why are you who the fuck told on me that is the.
Speaker 1That's the question.
Speaker 5I know who, so anyway, no, my favorite thing about you.
Speaker 1This is me and Tommy.
Speaker 5This is me, and Tommy. Yeah, I was going to say y'all have, because I know that's your favorite DJ from Gora, that's my OG.
Speaker 1Yeah, okay, uh-huh right.
Speaker 5His first day. He wasted my entire day. Johnny wasted my entire my first day at Gora. He wasted my entire day.
Speaker 1I can't wait to hear this, my entire day. I can't wait to hear this. Oh you, you got both of the worst ones right here. That was still more than minimum wage.
Speaker 5I did not know, this man works here. Yeah, the finest conversation.
Speaker 1Right Just cordial.
Speaker 5I was like this is great.
Speaker 1This is great, right? I'm really funny.
Speaker 5Everybody give me like a thousand dollars in this conversation We've been talking for eight hours. Bro, hit me with the. I gotta go. Where's the rest of it?
Speaker 6I guess she didn't realize.
Speaker 3I worked at Gold Rush too.
Speaker 6And then she would find out later oh, that was half his pay. That was half his pay.
Speaker 1For the week. He really liked me. He ain't eating the rest of the week. We ain't lying, no, we're not lying, especially at that time, because we didn't get mid-shift, we just got it all that day and that was it.
Speaker 5So in hindsight I'm like, okay, well, you probably should have moved around, we should have seen somebody before you.
Speaker 1But no, the james brown split is the best, the oh my god.
Speaker 5So okay, so so okay, so she was on stage this is our first this is one of the first ones I would say yeah this is definitely one of the first, like the only thing I had done was introduce myself like that, hey this is it.
Speaker 1Um, pulled me to the side. I was you should, you had to do it. So it was yeah. So she was like so, basically, long story short, she was doing the james brown split on the stage. Whatever it was the fact that it ended in a james brown split. I was like, no, you need to go ahead, cut that out. You know, go ahead, look, because you got to make sure, because you could tell people stuff, but a lot of, not a lot of people, not a lot of people are open to hear and they're ready to like to retaliate. Wait, wait. So when did you?
Speaker 5remember when the first poll still spun.
Speaker 6Now it doesn't spin, so if you throw yourself correctly, you can swirl around and then, but I knew you before you knew turn up and I I never saw a James Brown split. You must have added that to the repertoire after.
Speaker 1I left.
Speaker 6You was like you know it's a new year.
Speaker 1It's a new year for me. No, it was love.
Speaker 5No, this was nice, I got to break out some moves.
Speaker 6No, because I was. What I'm saying is you knew me before you knew Turnip, because Turnip replaced me.
Speaker 1I didn't know anything. No, no, me, no, no, no, she wasn't here when we were doing the trans, the transition. You, you were there. Yeah, you were already. Oh, what did you start? You weren't working there.
Speaker 5That's why my first day I didn't know that you were what you were click oh I'm trying to think so.
Geographical Banter in the USA
Speaker 1So I thought we were okay, so that's so that's the thing, though I it wasn't like one of those. She worked there before I did, it was when she did work there. It was either we were both working there or I was just working there and you were just like hanging out.
Speaker 5Well, when did you start? I mean nothing real Tonic, yeah, I started.

Here's the thing about here's the thing about coke right and I like it no but you know so much about no but here's the thing, because this is why this is why this is why celebrities do it, though they do it, so they're able to stay up and like get work done that's why, no, yeah, but you're not gonna be doing no work yeah and you're gonna lose your feet. Yeah, and you're probably gonna be in jail or dead like crystal meth is gonna make you do some wild shit.

Speaker 2Well, the reason I bring that up I mean it's trying to cause turn ahead came with me. So one of the I don't need I'm trying to think of, I met. I met the person who put me on so that I met her through one of my old jobs, cuz she'd be bartending all over. So I like, okay, cool, you know saying it was advertised like a kickback, basically you feel me like after hours kickback. But when I came to like DJ, that joint, I really find out it was like crime party.
Speaker 2I'm somebody literally not like them folk, them folk be in their environment and then they go to the bathroom doing lines and then come back in.
Speaker 1You know what I'm saying I didn't know, they would just disappear like but, but, but hold on but when you put it in context of everything that's going on, you can kind of tell they're doing coke. Because here's the thing, right. They wanted him to play house music, but here's the thing right, what was it? This was from midnight to seven in the morning.

Speaker 1Because I could have been like uh, no, damn, that would have been crazy. I mean you asked the question, hey, if it is what it is, Would you have said uh, no. I mean, yeah, if you weren't a good tipper, yeah, I would have been like uh no, no, but for the record like I was. That's what I said I said yeah.
Speaker 1You already confirmed, I'll be happy when I get some money. I'm like stand up, guess what? It's lit right. So, ladies, gentlemen, um, oh so, lavender, I'm gonna, um, ask you one more question, then we're gonna move on to the question of the day.
Speaker 4You guys I can't, I can't wait for this question today.
Speaker 5I'm exhausted. I can't yeah right, we're not even I can't hear the song in my fucking head we're gonna get to that, so no way, let's, let's.
Speaker 1So I have a question for you, because we had um nice and slow past, and lavender, not being a skater, actually came to nice and slow did. How did you? Did you have fun?
Speaker 5I got fucked up all day long.
Speaker 2Okay, let me tell you okay so first, yeah, tell us the most, okay so first of all, it was cool as fuck, no matter how many times, how.
Speaker 1Okay, first of all. Okay, let's start from the top. Let's start from the top Right.
Speaker 5I wake up in the morning I tell you know our nanny. So I'm like yo, I got something to do. I'm going roller skating. It's a big event, my homeboys. So my cousin was like can you skate? I'm like, yeah, I can skate. I was a girl scout all day. Everybody's like are you sure you can skate? I'm like I can skate, I can know and I can skate, right, not that that they were like I don't know.
Speaker 5I can skate. That's the thing about it. That's what fucking up the most. It was just the upper echelon of skaters and how many of them there were. I never anticipated people in matching outfits and choreography.
Speaker 1I'm like what type of jobs? A question I have every time, every bailout Monday. What the fuck do you do? I see you here every Monday. How are you here?
Speaker 5I have really good friends? I don't have one friend, but I really do have a solid group of friends. You cannot coordinate, let alone a one dance. Let alone outfits, but then put it on wheels, that's not happening. It's not an adult thing.
Speaker 1Y'all don't have no kids. There's nothing to do. Surprisingly enough, a lot of them do have kids. That is crazy. Crazy talking, that is crazy.
Speaker 5So that means you have to, that means you have to at least practice like one day of the week, at least one like, let's say, everybody knows how to skate very well, so we could just one day of the week. Then we have to be in the group chat picking out our outfits, that like, and then maybe what the fuck?
Speaker 1yeah, they take that shit serious, crazy.
Speaker 5And then they told me, first of all, when I was, when I used to go to, most gaming outside was the safe part wasn't really the inside used to be like that's where everybody's like Really One leg up doing everything that's interesting, boy.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's definitely.
Speaker 5And then they were like somebody tap on my shoulder. First of all, don't tap on my shoulder while I'm fucking skating. So it was like you can't skate out here. I'm like what the fuck? Why? It's like you're moving too slow.
Speaker 6Long ass legs, what the fuck. You're moving too slow. Nice and slow yeah.
Speaker 2It's crazy.
Speaker 6That's crazy talk, oh God.
Speaker 3Oh God.
Speaker 5Me and my homegirl like and my other homegirl. Everybody bust their ass.
Speaker 1My homegirl bust her ass so she couldn't find her phone Right. And it's funny. It's funny that we're talking about it. Oh, let's talk about it. Can I talk about security at that place? Sure, let's talk about it, security. Let me tell you about this guy. Oh Lord, I'm a, I'm a Chilean lady, right, right, uh-huh.
Speaker 5The security guard made me cry, so, so I was so happy to be there Then.
Speaker 7Bella had lost her phone.
Speaker 5An hour before that the security guard had said Bella was vaping.
Speaker 1Damn it's fine. Shout out to Bella. Bella was vaping.
Speaker 5He's like, oh, you can't do that in here. Didn't say shit to me, but Bella had told me Like, oh, you can't vape in here. Totally forgot about it. When Bella lost her phone, started going crazy, I was like I'm about to sit back and chill, cause I already know.
Speaker 1Everybody knows what the fuck is going on. I mean Like okay.
Skating Rink Vape Drama
Speaker 5So we all know what the fuck is going on. So I'm about to sit here and I'm just standing against the wall vaping. The security guard grabs my vape pen, like my wrist hurts the next day, like it was unnecessary. Imagine you're just chilling and somebody just snatches something from you, somebody that you don't know. Yes, right interesting. And I'm just chilling like I'm watching my friend go crazy, losing her phone.
Speaker 1Yeah, she's definitely, I'm just sitting back like she's gonna find it.
Speaker 5I know it's here somewhere.
Speaker 1And then she's, and then she's drunk, yeah.
Speaker 5so I'm chilling like nobody knows what the fuck I'm going through, because I gotta get in the car with this bitch at the end of the day. So he snatches it so hard. My wrist fucking hurts All that falling. My wrist fucking hurts all that falling. My wrist hurts from him. Then when I'm leaving I know he's gonna get my vape pen back, so of course I snatch it back. I don't wait no night for this shit, like I don't have my moment. You snatch it from me, I'm gonna snatch it from you. So I snatch the fuck out of it. This man did some magic where it wasn't in my hand. No more. Like he snatched the fuck out of it from me again. Like you gonna snatch. Like you snatched it first. Then Dark Tisha, who who?
Speaker 3Who.
Speaker 1A young lady security guard. Her name was Dark Tisha, dark Tisha, dark Tisha, oh, dark Tisha, oh, holy, okay, right, I was trying to imagine who she sum up man, the female security guard, the one, the one.
Speaker 6I know who she. I'm hardly there, I know who she talking about that wear the backwards cap all the time.
Speaker 1Oh, checkmate, checkmate, Checkmate. Yeah, yeah yeah, checkmate, all right, that t-shirt is wild, that t-shirt's crazy. Okay, so she rose up.
Speaker 3She's like so you just gonna snatch because he snatched it from you.
Speaker 5I'm like ain't this basic man, isn't this? I feel like, yes, like that is exactly why, like, if he wouldn't snatch it from me. I wouldn't snatch it from him so this grown ass man is going. He's like what, I break this shit right now and I'm just like really like what, that's $22 right there. And then he did the 8 town stomp on my vape, like a grown 40 year old man did the 8 town stomp on my vape mind you my friend is already in the car so I'm by myself.
Speaker 5He's like what? I break this shit right now. And then he did the 8 town stomp on it like he smashed the fuck out of it and I was just like okay so. I walked out of there crying like why are?
Speaker 1we, I was just like why are you so mad?
Speaker 5but, then I'm like you're a security guard at a skating rink and the vape you just broke cost like more than an hour worth of your time risking your life at the skating rink.
Speaker 6But he had to do me like that. Is that a step up or down from being a mall cop?
Speaker 5That's the. I feel like you get more perks as a mall cop.
Speaker 6So he mad because at the bottom of the map I got you.
Speaker 1But then again, at the same time with securities. They work with a company, so it's not like necessarily you actually work at the skate ring.
Speaker 5All I know is there was no reason for this man to be that mad.
Speaker 1Look, you never know what folks are going through. I know and I'll be praying for them Like. Lord, you got to.
Speaker 5Your, I don't, and I'll be praying for them like lord your life. Please bless this man because he just smashed. He did the 8th town. Stop with my baby it was hurtful. I was talking about the next morning at breakfast. I'm like no one saw what he did to me so cause.
Speaker 1Tonic, you were there for the shenanigans. Where did you end up finding her phone?
Speaker 6No, somebody gave it to me it was like we found this phone and I saw the picture and I was like, oh, I know who that is.
Speaker 1Yeah, we know who that is, but by the time y'all were gone, I'm not going to say the name because I don't want to smoke. Well, we already said the name. No, at this point, I don't want to smoke. Well, we already know her. It's her name. No At this point. No, no, she can be for y'all Look it's so cool.
Speaker 3We still cool.
Speaker 6It's still her alias, that's my homegirl.
Speaker 1Now, that's somebody, I was there from her first date. That's what I'm saying Now. That may have been somebody you was there for for real, because she was that bitch A lot of these hoes Been here forever.
Speaker 5Well, now Now these. First of all, we went through the golden era, latte.
Speaker 1Latte. Latte was bad. I ain't gonna lie. Shout out to Latte Boy. I forgot about. Shout out to Latte. She's so way better. And her daughter, holy Latte.
Speaker 5Latte. Latte is the shit I know. I drink my drink. That I drink Is because of latte.
Speaker 1Shout out to latte. Shout out to latte. Yeah, shout out to latte, but, um, because of latte, so we gonna. I know I keep saying we gonna move on To the question of the day, but we, I just got two more things To talk about and then we gonna move on. Damn, I actually blanked out On the first one, so we do have one more Tonic, the award show. You weren't a part of it so I guess you wouldn't be able to talk about it.
Speaker 6I was part of the planning, but I didn't get to do the actual event, so it was child tonogicism they had the Georgia Wrestling Awards.
Speaker 1It went phenomenally. For everybody that wants to know yeah, it was dope, yeah. So, yeah, since you were part of some of that behind-the-scenes stuff, you want to let people know how some of that went. Like some of the behind-the-scenes stuff, I mean it's behind-the-scenes.
Speaker 6Let's keep it behind-the-scenes.
Speaker 1Damn.
Speaker 6Okay, no, it was cool. All right, let's move on. No it was cool.
Music Industry Banter and Reactions
Speaker 6People don't ever realize how much planning goes into something like that. It was our third one that we did. They've been doing the awards, I think, since like 2009. But this was like only the third year that we've actually done the actual gala, uh slash banquets for the awards presentation and, um, I would say the first two years went off pretty well, without a hitch. Obviously, this year, the biggest hitch that we had was we had to change venues within 48 hours of the actual event. Um and, like I said, not just in the made it work Shouts out to the people, to the wrestlers, who really took a part in this and really wants this to be a special thing.
Speaker 3Because there were some people like eh, whatever.
Speaker 6A lot of the folks that are around in the scene. They don't show up, they just think it's whatever. But I think, you know what nauseousism and the rest of the crew I'm part of that that is trying to create is this camaraderie where, hey, come on, let's celebrate ourselves Right. Whether you win or not, whether you're nominated or not, you're a part of this community and it's not a big community. It's not like there's hundreds of independent wrestlers in the state of Georgia.
Speaker 2Right, it's a couple dozen at best.
Speaker 6Let's come out and celebrate us, you know, and so shout out to those folks, and not just the wrestlers the announcers, the commentators, the referees, the bookers, promoters, yeah that want to make this event special. It keeps getting bigger and better every year.
Speaker 3So I'm already looking forward to next year, but yeah so shout out to like, so we had some of the bigger names host this year.
Speaker 6Shout out, carly. Bravo, you know. Aew star ring of honor. I think he dies.
Speaker 3Diana, diana mchafferty diana yeah I had to make sure I played that for her.
Speaker 1Uh. Announcer of the year. I had to put that for her Of course it's funny.
Speaker 3Everybody laughed.
Speaker 1They were like, ah ha ha, I was like they don't know that we do that shit all the time.
Question of the Day
Speaker 1That's her she literally, yeah, she loves that shit. Speaking of love, we're going to move on to the question of the day. You guys, okay. So I know you guys have a lot to say about it, more one than the other, but, um tanaka, I'm gonna start it with you, because I know you don't know what the question of the day is, but there was a song that came out a couple of days ago and it has a very it has very mixed reviews. Are we gonna play?
Speaker 5it. No, we're not gonna play, why not?
Speaker 1just because, just because we don't have we don't have, we don't.
Speaker 3We're not trying to get hit with copyright or nothing like that 30 seconds, that's not that's not enough to it's not enough.
Speaker 5Why can't we block it out when we need to listen to it all together?
Speaker 6Because there's some lyrics that we all need to hear, Maybe how about? Can we take a pause, real quick Commercial break While we, while we, sure.
Speaker 1It's not allowed, we're not allowed anyway, yeah, no.
Speaker 1So after, these messages will be right back, yeah Well, yeah, I'll just let him know. So the question of the day there's a song that came out with sexy red and Bruno Mars. Are you familiar with the song Tanaka? So there's a song it came out on Friday. It's called Fat, juicy and Wet. So I guess you guys, you guys hold on a second, we're going to take a brief commercial break, we're going to listen to it and then we're going to get well, hold on, hold on, we're going to let Tanaka get how he feels about it and then, after that, obviously, obviously, lavender's going to shit on it and Tonic's going to love it, or whatever the case may be, and we are back, so tanaka, with the question of the day your thoughts on fat, juicy and wet, so lavender.
Speaker 1I'm gonna just let you know a little bit about tanaka. Right, and I don't know how he feels about the song, but he never wants to be the one that be like man, this shit, fucking ass. He's going to find a way around.
Speaker 2No, no Okay.
Speaker 1No, he, yeah, he's going to be, he's going to. There's several different thoughts. Let's hear this.
Speaker 6Because, first of all, I'm, I'm like damn, is this like what pop music is?
Speaker 2coming with bruno mars. That that's definitely like a pop song. It's definitely more poppy, for sure but um night hearing it hearing it, it reminded me of that little dicky song uh freaky fr Make. That Money.
Speaker 1Oh, I've never heard that With.
Speaker 2Rich Homie Quan.
Speaker 1I've never heard that. Yeah, yeah, I know he had a song with Rich Homie Quan. That's interesting.
Speaker 2Yeah. But it was like a parody song, though you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1Oh, and this is a parody song. Yeah, like I almost can't take it.
Speaker 2Like I don't know.
Speaker 1I hear that.
Speaker 2I mean, do I F with it? I mean, it's a pop song. I don't really F with too much pop like that For real, for real.
Speaker 1You just love how you avoid the question.
Speaker 2I'm just saying, bro, I don't F with pop music.
Speaker 1I really don't. That wasn't the question. Do you like the song or not? Do I like the?
Speaker 2song. I wouldn't play it in my free time, if that's what you asked me.
Speaker 1If it was like, would you play it in the skating?
Speaker 2rink, maybe for like a family session. I could see this song, I could see this. No, I'm saying though, I'm saying though I could see this song, the radio and immersion is awful.
Speaker 5I'm saying I could see you can't say fat, juicy or wet, it's like mm-hmm mm-hmm, I'm saying, you can say fat.
Speaker 6Juicy and mm-hmm you can't say juicy Let me tell you the first family session I did at Stone Mountain. I played Hot In here, the radio edit and Robbie came and was like you can't play Hot In here, nelly Hot In. Here.
Speaker 1Nelly.
Speaker 6Hot In here by Nelly, Because it's getting hot in here so take off all your clothes. So I'm just saying, if Robbie was down my throat for Hot In here, how do you think he's going to play Femme?
Speaker 1Juicy Truth be told, robbie is an interesting one oh. I know, I'm just saying though I'm not going to lie, he's an interesting one. I mean, I just feel like this is gonna be one of the popular pop songs.
Speaker 2You dig and it's like so okay.
Speaker 1So here's my thing, right. So I heard about I heard about this song coming out and he was like hey, I want, I want a song that I could put in the strip club. Somebody find me sexy red. Is that what? You know? That's what he tweeted. You can look it up. He tweeted. He was like hey, there's a song I'm trying to put in the strip. This is up. He tweeted.
Speaker 1He was like hey, there's a song I'm trying to put in the strip. This is before I released. He was like hey, there's a song I'm trying to.
Speaker 5I'm trying to get a song for the strip club no, that was, it was a tweet you know?
Speaker 1no, I'm saying you don't think that was part of the rollout of this song, oh so she's saying you're saying like part of the market, that's part of the promotion yes, because she I mean hey bruno, yeah, hey bruno and then they did it.
Speaker 5There was some jewish men, oh, probably in a fucking no, but you're missing the point.
Speaker 1Hold on, you're missing the point. What I was saying was, when I seen that tweet, I was like, okay, I'm trying to envision, because it's sexy red we're talking about, we're talking about sexy red. So I'm like, okay, I'm trying to hear sexy red and bruno mars on a trap beat and, and for some reason I could not hear it. So I was very intrigued.
Speaker 5I was very intrigued to hear what this sounded like why, for some reason, would you think Bruno Mars would be on a?
Speaker 6trap beat yeah, why?
Speaker 1That's hard Because the strip club is it Well, because first he says strip club, then he says Sexy Red. Hold on, you got to think. You gotta think about Sexy Red. What are all of her beats? All of her beats. Most, the fastest beat she has Is like 91. Now I'm gonna make me A little struggling.
Speaker 5Um, Listen, that song was supposed To be equivalent to what's the other? Cardi B and Bruno.
Speaker 6Mars song Please.
Speaker 1Me Please, me no.
Speaker 5No, the first one.
Speaker 6Oh.
Speaker 7Oh, finesse.
Speaker 1Yeah, finesse, and I didn't like that either.
Speaker 5I hated that song but those. There's so many things wrong with this, especially going into black history. Man, you got you got.
Speaker 1This is what happened. This is what happened. What happened right now, bruno, they were in a room like this, at a longer table than this. I would hope so.
Speaker 5Bruno came right here way longer table.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 5He came in and said Bruno, we need something from you and Bruno said they don't really check up on me like that right now. I was like, okay, this is what we're going to do. We're going to get you the hottest black girl rapper. We're going to throw y'all out there. This is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1Behind the scenes.
Speaker 5Yeah, I can see that, and then we're going to have sexy direct dance.
Speaker 1Yep.
Speaker 5And so the song will be called Fat, juicy and Wet off the record. No lyrics, no beat, no nothing. Then they made this song.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 5This is an abomination. Yes, this is horrible bro.
Speaker 1The worst thing about this song. Who's the the?
Speaker 5demographic, that's gonna be dancing to this so offbeat white people, yes, white people, yeah, and it's awful.
Speaker 1And she's probably gonna be able to do the like white shows. These are gonna be there. Why? And she's probably going to be able- to do the white shows.
Speaker 5These are going to be her white songs and your number one song Fat Juicy and Wet, I mean you got to have something for the white folks. Not right now, not right now, not right now. Listen what's her name? Martin Luther King's granddaughter just cut her ass up.
Speaker 1Yeah, but here's the thing I can appreciate Sexy Red for knowing that what she did was wrong and, and being like I, I apologize good job good job, right, because I'm not gonna lie, I was almost sure sexy red was gonna pop off on her ass and be like how could you? You'll be the ultimate. These young, these young niggas, are retarded she's not a yN. She's a YB. That's worse, but you can't.
Speaker 5She's a. Yn yeah.
Speaker 1She's a young nigga. Yeah, I don't know, she a hood rat.
Speaker 5But like I don't know, and you haven't heard it on the radio. I feel like hearing it on the radio.
Speaker 7I don't even listen to the radio.
Speaker 5And I have to hear it on the radio and they play it back to back to back With this song.
Speaker 6It's awful, yeah, fat Juicy and Wet. Yeah, they play it.
Speaker 3That's what I'm saying, that's what.
Speaker 6I'm saying it's going to top the pop charts, it's going Billboard top 100.
Speaker 5And why is Lady Gaga in there? She don't even know them.
Speaker 1She do she don't know them what she literally just did a song together. Why am I?
Speaker 5there? No, why is she?
Speaker 1there. Can I say what I want to say. And Rosé also.
Speaker 6You can say exactly what you want to say they sidebar. Sidebar.
Speaker 2Sidebar commentary. That's what he did. I mean, I get it you don't need Lady Gaga, I get it. I get it, man.
Speaker 1I understand why they did it, but that's not.
Speaker 5I hate everything about it. I wish it was never made. It pushed us back a thousand fucking years. Who was us? Us women really sexy women pound town.
Speaker 6Pound town, us, us, us, women.
Speaker 1Like bro, really Sexy. Red Ben the Pushy Guy, pound Town, pound Town. Who you be?
Speaker 5Okay, but nobody heard that, so what?
Speaker 1Nobody heard that. Everybody heard that.
Speaker 5Everybody heard that but me and Bruno Mars, the beat don't go together. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1Nah, I'm not gonna lie when I heard when I heard, and that's what I was trying to get to, so I thought we were gonna get like one of those slower trap beats, like we're gonna get like a boss man d-low and that's what I was trying to. I was like okay, so like I said the only thing I could think of is when bruno did wake up in the sky with uh gucci man and I was like okay, so maybe, probably.
Speaker 2And then I heard it fat juicy and wet and I was like so so wait, hold on. I was about to say like he feels like this is gonna be played at a strip club look it up.
Speaker 1That's what he said. Are you gonna play it at a strip club if? You hate it if you hate a stripper, play that shit first. Honestly and truthfully. I did it cause Tonic was there.
Speaker 5You played it, I did it for Tonic. Bro, I would throw something at you your ass, that's not so. Ooh, what song? I told you never to play. Flash and Light. Oh yeah, she, yeah.
Speaker 1This nigga played me a song. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I played flashing lights in the beginning, in the beginning. That was not for your stage set. No, I know better. It wasn't for my stage set. It wasn't for your stage set, I was dancing to this song and flashing lights and you played flashing lights.
Speaker 5You know how long that song is well, so so give your take.
Speaker 6I guess it was your round table. Give your take, and then I'll go next so that's look.
Speaker 1It's never look. Give you a take and then I'll go next. Look, my joint never changes Once I heard the Fat Juice team and I'm like oh, so they're giving us like an. La beat.
Speaker 1I guess I was like eh nah, and then I was like, okay, I get it, bruno's kind of reaching and I kind of get what you're saying. They were at the table and his company. Yeah, we need you to come up with something and you could just, you just piggyback off Sexy Red. I get it. Her voice is not even there. I'll just say it with this it's mid at best, like at absolute best, it's mid, are you my friend? At absolute best, at best, it's mid.
Speaker 5It is trash at best, it is absolute garbage Okay.
Speaker 1Well, tonic, go ahead. It is trash at best it's trash at best, it's absolute garbage. Okay, well, tonic go ahead.
Speaker 5How do you feel about the song? Are we friends, lavender? No, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 6I'm not done yet. This is garbage. No Lavender, Look at me now.
Speaker 3Before I give my answer, I need to know, are we?
Speaker 6friends, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, just because it's what Look me in the eyes.
Speaker 3Right here.
Speaker 6Right here, Before I get my answer. Are we friends?
Speaker 1What Tell me again?
Speaker 5We are, we are.
Speaker 6Very cool.
Speaker 5So here's the thing, Okay so I'm going to give my answer no, no, no, you can't even make that. It's awful. I hate the music video, I hate the visuals, I hate the song, I hate the wig, I hate the bitch. I hate everything. I hate the bitch. I don't even hate Sexy Red. I hate Bruno Mars for making that song. It was just a super, super. You ever seen two magnets not?
Speaker 1go together, that is so. You mean like two negatives, two positives yeah, like it doesn't okay.
Speaker 1Well, tonic, go ahead let's go ahead and no, let's not do that. We're done with that. Yeah, please me was cool, I'm not gonna lie, so maybe okay. Well, how about this? Because I'm not gonna lie. I did feel the same way about finesse. I did feel the same way I feel like he should have kept finesse for himself, because I listened to the finesse on the 24 karat album and I was like, oh, why isn't this a single? And then he dropped the single with cardi b. I was like, what the is this?
Speaker 1so maybe this, maybe the second one maybe the second one would be better, but my bad go ahead, tony.
Speaker 6Okay, I'm gonna say this this song is cor fuck, but it's the right kind of corny that will chart and hit and you're going to see, I guarantee you, this will be number one on the top 100. It's not going to be hip-hop. It's definitely not hip-hop or rap, it's definitely pop. It's going to be in the top 100 for at least two, three, four weeks at number one. Um, it's especially for these, these young folks, it's just freaky enough. Um, so it's not a great song. It is mid at best. It's. It's weird. Um, bruno mars trying to be like this, bruno mars trying to be this, this kind of sex vibe guy thing is because he's a corny looking. Can we talk about that? Yeah, can we talk about wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me finish. Everybody had that, let me. You know, like, like everybody want to clown Drake, but this nigga with this, with this creeper mustache this little creeper mustache and this Jufro trying to be cool.
Speaker 6I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1I didn't mean to cut you off, but I ain't gonna lie, he kinda get and I know there's probably no way of him doing this on this song, but I ain't gonna lie he kinda gets points off for, like, we don't get no vocals.
Speaker 6Like you're rapping the whole time. I'm gonna get to that, I'm gonna get to that, and that's my part too. You're not even singing, right, you're trying to rap to this pop beat. So I think technically this might be considered Sexy Red's song. No, sexy Red song featuring Bruno. Then that makes it interesting because it's not Bruno's record label, it's Sexy.
Speaker 1Red's. No, it's definitely Bruno. I have a show.
Speaker 5This song is made for white girls in Tampa to pay for it too.
Speaker 6Wait, wait, wait See, you're so stuck in black hood strip clubs that when you heard strip no, because when you heard you're so, you're so thinking you're so, so stuck in like black hood strip clubs, that when you heard strip no, because when you heard strip club, you were thinking, oh, I need something black strip clubs. We forgot about. We forgot about pink pony. This is gonna be a pink pony. This is gonna be 10 times a day at pink pony but we're also talking about sexy red.
Speaker 1This is what we're talking about. I know that's what they want a little bit of flavor. No, and I get that once again. Yes, we thought that, because this is she said he wants something in the strip club. He said sexy red. So, yes, I thought we was gonna get some real deal hood rat shit it is a rat shit just over a pop beat.
Speaker 6It's very hood right. And first of all, shouts out to Sexy Rand for being so disgusting with the Jesus piece on the entire time of this song. Like she talking and where does she say something? Milk mustache, but with the Jesus piece, like the biggest Jesus piece that I've ever seen. So but it's a little bop for the vanillas. It really is like it's not. I don't know that I'll play it anywhere, like I fucked around and played it today. Like I'm not gonna ever play this at wax. Probably not Listen, it's 104 BPM. It's definitely a pop. It's definitely a pop Like this.
Speaker 1I mix this with like work, work, work, work.
Speaker 6Well, um, I'm mixing this. Yeah, this is getting mixed with, like I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 1Can you pull me closer and the back, ah, closer too.
Speaker 6That is worse, that makes it so hard, I ain't gonna lie. Maybe pull me closer in the back ah, closer. That is worse. That makes it worse. I ain't gonna lie, I mixed it with squabble up just because you're an awful person. You're an awful, you're an awful. I'm gonna do something at you, bro. I mean, just cause both those songs are garbage to me. That's awful we're gonna talk about this episode of Games DJ Plays.
Speaker 5That was fucked up. If a DJ ever plays the Sexy Red song mixed with what Squabble Up. He hates you. Bitch. You don't tip enough. Exactly, We'll be right back.

Speaker 5But I think you said your guess was who? Well, first of all I was told that, but I think this is a big Sexy Red thing.
Speaker 1Well, I'll give you half a point. So yes, you're right, it was Sexy Red. It's off a song called FaceTime. Are you familiar with the song called FaceTime?

Speaker 4I don't think of all the gifs that we've had on this.
Speaker 2I don't think they've ever described it like how you used it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1Am.
Speaker 5I the first female guest.

He repeated you feel me Like Broke my? He done said Broke my wrist twice. He didn't say fuck your bitch twice like rapping kitchen with kitchen and kitchen. You know what I'm saying like because I feel like no, no, I feel like the flow.
Speaker 2I feel like the flow and the beat. It probably sounds straight as well, but we ain't got that, but I get it.
Speaker 1Do you have a guess?
Speaker 2It's a rap. I feel like it's an Atlanta rapper.
Speaker 1It's not an Atlanta rapper, but I'll give you a quarter of a point because he's a southern rapper. This is a little pump, it's a song called D-Rose. I thought that.
Speaker 5I swear to God. I thought that Are you familiar with D-Rose by Lil Pump.
Speaker 2No, I'm not. I'm not surprised that this is who it is from.
Speaker 6So first of all, before I read mine, I want to ask about the scale Frisbee is interesting being a two over flat. The reason about the scale right frisbee is interesting being a two over flat. The reason why I say that is I would think frisbee would be a three, because at least a frisbee throw with the frisbee.
Speaker 1No, frisbee, we mean we taking it out.
Speaker 2The yeah oh yeah, tossing that, yeah, we're seeing how hard the street.
Rap Lyrics Analysis and Debate

First of all, it doesn't make any fucking sense. What are these fucking cards you got? Make a home flick having real menages Okay, balling type shit. But here's where you lose me. So tell your girls, it's just me and my partners. I guess that's supposed to rhyme with menages. Won't throw dollars, we start with 20s. And there's more where that came from. Come get with me. I feel like. I feel like there's somebody. It sounds kind of corny to me. First of all, yeah, I'm going to give it a flat. It's not a frisbee, it's all right, it's a flat. I want to say it sounds like Nick.
Speaker 6Cannon trying to be cool. Oh my God, first of all, nick Cannon doesn't get a flat. Be cool, we know, we know, Dang first of all we know, we know you think Nick Cannon's arranging menages? All them kids, he got, he rich.
Speaker 3I know.

Speaker 2No, okay, you got a decade, yeah.

Speaker 6Okay, I mean.
Speaker 2That's my.
Speaker 1Deep R2. It's off of my Deep Song. Yeah, that's a Southern rapper.
Speaker 3But it's off, but it's off, but it's off a northern song, see, so I got a quarter of a point because it was on a up north song.
Speaker 6I felt like that was a flow. No, because I felt like that flow was an up north flow, which which young buck did kind of all right.

Speaker 3But with DMX in that little three, four year.

Speaker 5no, I didn't really care for Master P, I didn't like the potential. But it was like did you like master p?

Speaker 6Just for the record Kendrick didn't kill his career. Yes, he did He't kill his career. Yes, he did. He did not. Yes, he did, he did not, he did. I'm still bumping Drake over Kendrick.
Speaker 1Oh, I mean absolutely. But that's the thing. That's the thing that People need to understand. When we say that he got beat by Kendrick, we're not saying that Kendrick is gonna replace him. I don't say that at all. Drake is gonna still have songs in the club. Drake is still going to have songs for the white people drake is still going to have it, doesn't?
Speaker 1it doesn't take away from the great songs he's made you know, or this great songs he's going to make in the future, like we're saying that drake got his billion dollar cyber truck while kendrick got out of his fucking 2023 Kia Soul and he got his ass beat. He still got the money, yes, but he got his ass beat he did not get his ass beat it was one song.
Speaker 3He got his ass beat.
Speaker 1He did not. It was one fucking song.

Speaker 1Folks in other countries are talking about how Drake got his ass beat.

Speaker 7I used to be like I used to be in streets on a block to my switch I mean I used to go on the streets and be like, yeah, but now I'm like I was like. Why was I listening to a song? Because this song Was actually buzzed. It was just it would feel good at first. Because when you listen to it, it was like, okay, yeah, you get the energy. Yeah, you get the energy To crash out. When I got the energy, I feel like I wanted To punch somebody. So I believe you.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's how it be. That's what's up, so what?

Speaker 1There you go. So Kendrick, and maybe Baby Kia.
Rap Music Analysis and Debate
Speaker 7That's as far as we go. I sometimes listen to Ken Carson, ken Carson, ken Carson.
Speaker 1You know what's crazy? Tinker likes Ken Carson. That's interesting. What's? Your favorite song about Ken Carson? Because the only one I keep hearing about and I heard it one time but it was Rockstar Lifestyle. I think it's time, but it was Rockstar Lifestyle, I think is one of the songs.
Speaker 7To be honest, my favorite rappers are probably Elie Choppa, Ken.
Speaker 1Carson no, ken Carson. Oh, so you like all that pop stuff that he's doing now and Elie Choppa? No, I mean not, no, I mean it's all right.
Speaker 7It's dealable, it's not a deal breaker, it's not, it's not, it's not a good break. Because I used to like, because I like both sides. I like the old side, right and new side okay now. I respect that though shot shopper correct?
Speaker 1no, I remember, when I remember whenog first came out, I was like wow, I like this guy. Yeah, I like energy and all that. So, that's what's up. I like Shadowfog 3. I don't know.
Speaker 7Was it Shadowfog 3 or 2? I don't remember. I don't remember, but he was like. I don't remember the lines, but he was like something. And I remember that the first one I read too was the one where Blueface came into there, and it's me that's Shot of Flow.
Speaker 1The remix that's the first one.
Speaker 7I thought the remix was the actual one at first, because when I first heard it it was like I think I was at a party or something. It was actually pretty good it was turned up. It was a party, yeah, man.
Speaker 5It was like a party. It was a party in the backyard.
Speaker 2Man Sonic, the Fed's out here. Backyard, backyard, party Backyard party.
Speaker 6What party?
Speaker 3What party was that? Wait a minute, young boy, we ain't talking about this. That was 2020.
Speaker 1That was four years ago you was 11.
Speaker 6Oh, so you were 10. What? Party were you going to attend. You just hit double digits.
Speaker 7It was somebody's birthday party, all right, it was somebody's birthday party On this episode of Cap. All right, it was somebody's birthday party. I think it was my sister's birthday party. They have a sister.
Speaker 3I think, the TNT pod cap TNT pod cap oh.
Speaker 5So are there any?
Speaker 1older rappers that you go back and listen to.
Speaker 2That's like okay, I think I can rock with this Ice Cube, really, oh word, I respect that Shout out to D.
Speaker 1That's like one of my favorite rappers. I can go for Ice.
Speaker 2Cube Respect that.
Speaker 7I could go for Usher sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes Maybe depends on the moment, not I, maybe during them, maybe depends on a moment for rappers or singers, I don't know.
Speaker 1Rappers nowadays is kind of hard but I don't know. I would say and kind of hard but I don't know. I would say and it's, it's messed up. Because the situation was and if you look at my Instagram, I can honestly show you that both of them were like one of my favorite rappers on the 2Pac, but it was Drake and Kendrick were like my favorite rappers. So, like the fact that all this happened, I was just happy that I was getting all this good music. Honestly, because, truth be told, drop it, give Me 50, family Matters, all that was dope, I ain't gonna lie. Kendrick just took that joint to a whole new level.
Speaker 6Okay, that's all I wanna hear. Nobody. Everybody act like. Everybody act like.
Speaker 2Family Matters wasn't hot. Once again, Drake was trash. We never said that.
Speaker 1No, I'm talking about you two phones, If you actually listened to the podcast you would have heard it.
Speaker 6Just saying I'm deaf, I can't hear what's he?
Speaker 7saying when the kids when the kids Lamar and Drake were having. Who were? Y'all hoping to win.
Speaker 1So that's the thing, though For me, like I'm not a thug, I'm not a thug.
Speaker 3What you don't say, anyway so a lot of the stuff that Kendrick talks about.
Speaker 1I could relate to because I'm from LA and all that stuff. But I can't really relate to gangbanging and all that stuff.
Speaker 5So the stuff.
Speaker 3Drake talks about.
Speaker 1I'm like, okay, I can relate to that, that's cool.
Speaker 6But I don't know, once Drake start tapping in some of them uncharted waters that's when you know I wanted to win, I wanted Jake Holder win, and then he went and found Jesus.
Speaker 1He went and found Buddha, if that's one thing, that me and uh tanaka don't agree with. I'm not gonna lie, that might delete later song when he's talking about seven minute drill uh, you said what was the seven minute drill or? Maybe what is the one where he was like. Your first one was okay seven minute drill. Seven minute drill and then the third one was, and then the second one.
Speaker 6you gassed it, I was like ooh, Listen, I'm saying this for the record. I'm saying this for the record If J Cole had stayed in, that he'd have ate Kendrick and chewed him out. He would have ate Kendrick.
Speaker 2I can't co-sign that. I can't co-sign that one.
Speaker 6I'm co-signing on that. I'm not co-signing that. I don't know.
Speaker 1I feel like it would have been a good fight. Honestly, truthfully.
Speaker 6I feel like it would have been a better fight than Drake.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah yeah, because.
Speaker 6So not to piss off Tanaka, but Tanaka's the homie. I fuck with Tanaka, not really Lyrically, I do. That's the homie that's the homie.
Speaker 2They're going all episodes. Keep it going.
Speaker 6Well, no, just because I just think lyrically, not as an artist, but lyrically I think kendrick is overrated, but he's, he's what? I'm sorry, say that again, say that, say that again kendrick lamar is a little more than mid lyrically, y'all be acting like he be dropping these hidden gems.
Speaker 5So he didn't make it for Right. It's very easy to rap slow.
Speaker 1I'm a firm believer in just give me receipts. I'm not going to lie. There's a couple of things that I kind of missed with Kendrick and I was like all right, because I remember it was a podcast where I was like it was a podcast episode where I was like all right, I'll give you one of one that I can think of Drake's hard joints and Tanaka. I want you to give me one too. I don't remember, I don't even want to say Trey.
Speaker 1The way he just because it was just so many double entendres and metaphors and a whole bunch of other shit that I was like it's his guest verse on Nostalgia with Pussy, have you? Heard that song.
Speaker 6I haven't. I'm going to have to go listen to that. We'll listen to it when we stop Like to the point.
Speaker 1And that's the thing, though. And that's the thing, though. That's another thing too. Rap Genius does a lot of like dissecting of. Kendrick's song. I'm not going to lie, I don't really know a lot of times that they do hard dissecting on Drake's song.
Speaker 6Well, drake is a pop star. That I mean, he's not. That's why.
Speaker 3I said J Cole would have killed.
Speaker 6Kendrick, you know, because I didn't say Drake would have.
Speaker 5I. You know, I didn't say drake would have I don't love my bed and my mama.
Speaker 6I'm sorry they hard, they went into that. Listen, I only love my me. I know, listen, I don't want to, I don't want to talk about. I don't want to talk about forever I don't want to talk about his, his, his, fire ass person forever that they forget drake like as you know, I'm sorry that took months to figure out.
Speaker 5That took a year to figure out. That goes up there with Hope it's still dissecting from Hope.
Speaker 1I don't know about that one. Tanaka, would you like to give your example of this joint that we did? Do you remember it?
Speaker 2It was a while back when you gave that example, it was just deep. We probably just got to play the right genius for them, folks. Yeah okay, yeah, we'll do that, we'll do that later, but Lil D. I do have a question what's up Rod Wave? Do you consider him a rapper or a singer?
Speaker 7I'm not going to lie, I'll say both, but it depends. I think of most. More of a singer though, but mostly, but like I consider mostly a singer, but he does rap sometimes okay now I'm just.
Speaker 2I just be curious because a lot of folk that I talked to, they all consider him a rapper more so than a singer, and myself internally confused. Could we view him more as a singer who raps at?
Speaker 6certain times.
Speaker 2But I'm telling you the generation. Most of them feel like he's more of a rapper than a singer.
Speaker 6So when you have these interviews next time, there are classes that are actually inside the school building.
Speaker 2It sounds like you interview the students that are in the annex buildings. This man is trying to create the smoke out of him. Oh God.
Speaker 6This is never going to be the TNTNT podcast.
Speaker 7Trying to get the show canceled early.
Speaker 2He ain't even had nothing drunk in his system.
Speaker 7Speaking of the new era of music, there's this thing called Pink. Dress by Playboi Max and DDG, In my opinion. I don't know if I heard of DDG, but DDG is not a rapper in my opinion. I think he just makes TikTok songs. I do not like him.
Speaker 1DDG. Is that the guy that went viral for his baby?
Speaker 7Yeah, the Halo baby.
Speaker 1I think I've heard one of his songs.
Speaker 6I've heard him rap a couple times. I've actually played a couple of his.
Speaker 1I have too, but I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 6I've definitely seen more of a rapper than a singer, probably.
Speaker 7I've seen him as he's trash let me ask you about?
Speaker 1do you know about Destroy Lonely? You don't know Destroy Lonely, okay, is he a rapper? He's a rapper, I think my little brother told me about him. It depends on what he looks like. Is he a?
Speaker 7rapper. He's a rapper, I think, I don't know. My little brother told me about him. Destroy it. It depends on what he looks like.
Speaker 1I don't know what he looks like, I just know my little brother says he listens to him DDG, are you tired?
Speaker 3She's like I'm ready to go, I'm so tired.

Speaker 2Yeah, I think I'm more familiar with it. I'm trying to remember because I think I just remember reading in the credits that the verse that they used was from this song and it was the Biggie the West album. Let's not talk about that album. Let's not talk about that album.
Speaker 1I ain't gonna lie, that album makes me mad.
Speaker 6You can use no, this is my battery started phone. Oh, I thought you were trying to um friend in need. Friend in need.
Speaker 1Friend in need is a friend indeed. So yeah, I think if I'm correct the song came out when the album came out, which was on Life After Death, which was his second album, which actually ended up being his. What do they call it? What's?
Speaker 3the Post.
Speaker 1Humus Post, humus Me and my friend shot on 104. We always call it the promiscuous album, knowing that's like not the word at all, but yeah, so that the album dropped right after, right after he passed away. I think it was like a few weeks after he passed away and um. So he did have one video off that album. I think it was hypnotized and that was it.
Speaker 1Anything else he had passed away then it came out with a video for Sky's the Limit, but I think that was them. I think they were all kids or something like that yeah, yeah, yeah, it was something like that. But yeah, so Niggas Bleed wasn't a single, but um, it was a very, very, very heavy. I feel like that's one of those three classic um joints.
Speaker 6It's a storytelling joint where he's talking about basically a drug, some drug shit going on before we get to that, how familiar are you with biggie's like, especially b-side repertoire, like not the hits, not hypnotized um not too familiar, however, but let me finish.
Speaker 1I'm gonna finish the song of the day. And then we can after we're done okay um, so the first time I actually the first time I heard this song as a matter of fact.
Speaker 3Tony, when you heard this song, you heard when you first heard this song.
Speaker 1This heard it would have been the Biggie, duet the Biggie.
Speaker 6Duet.
Speaker 1What song was it? I can't remember which one it was.
Speaker 2But, I just know that I revisited it once Once I heard that. Then I went and revisited it.
Speaker 1That's interesting. It's interesting, because that was like he was telling a story. So, how were they able to splice that up? Oh, you said you don't remember.
Speaker 2I mean, I want to say I think it was a Hustler story with Biggie and somebody else. Oh, okay.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, sounds right, but yeah. So basically the song is about a drug trade going wrong and yeah, it's a good storytelling. It's a very dark, very dark, very eerie beat and you know, yeah, biggie's just on his storytelling joint man, so really it's a really dope song. If you want to, you know you want to hear a song that biggie's, you know, on his storytelling tip and knows a lot of good lyrics. Not good lyrics, but like not good as in. Like positive but like good as in like it's gonna keep your attention.
Speaker 1I would highly recommend you listen to niggas bleeded turn up song of the day. So, tonic, you were about to say something about.
Speaker 6No, I was just going to say this was, on par with Biggie's, one of the best storytellers that we have, which is why people of my generation I'm officially unk, I guess you could say yeah, shout out to that meme.
Speaker 6We still consider Biggie the greatest rapper of all time. Uh, still, um, and this is the reason why his storytelling was amazing. Songs like um I got a story to tell, ironically, was also like a b-side hit, more so a club banger than uh. It wasn't a radio hit, for sure, but but yeah, biggie was just always great with telling stories. So shout out Good choice Turn.
Speaker 2Up. So yeah, go ahead and break it down. Sonic Like set the scene. When you first heard this song what was going on. Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6So I'm not going to lie, much like Turn Up up. I really wasn't feeling this when it first came out, because I'm not a thug, a gangster, whatever right okay, I don't when I say that I don't mean that I I'm not gonna listen to trap music.
Speaker 1I love trap music and I love gangster. I love hearing that shit. I just can't relate to it.
Speaker 6That's what I'm saying, so that's me too. I can't, I can't relate. And so when this came out, I was still squeaky cleanish church boy, like it just didn't do anything for me like I liked. I like the not gonna lie, like the like the diddy biggie, like the mo money, mo problems, yeah, flashy yeah yeah, yeah, so, um, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6So it's all this stuff. I'm going to be honest. Actually, I really had to go back a couple years after he passed and re-listened to it. I was like, oh, you know what? This isn't my vibe per se, but the skill set on this is freaking phenomenal. Once again, I can't relate, but I get an idea based on exactly how you're telling this. It's more for me, it's more like watching a movie.
Speaker 1Of course I can't relate to the Terminator, arnold Schwarzenegger, with guns and coming back and doing that type of shit. I can't relate to it, but it's very entertaining.
Speaker 2All that type of shit. I was mistaken. It wasn't the biggie duets that I heard, it was actually um. No, it's actually a ghostface killer album, fish scale, and the last, the bonus. I guess I think they classified it as a bonus track, but it was called um, it was called three bricks and it was ghostface killer. Um, biggie and rayquan, uh and uh and yeah I was. I was impressed because I was like oh dang, like this biggie versus cold, like just the way that he's setting that whole thing up. And then the beat that they had with it was like dope too. So, and you know, rayquan and ghost saves they all storytellers for real. So, like it really fit you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2shout out to wu-tang, for sure, um, but yeah, man, salute to biggie. You know, I mean I was, I was raised more on pop, you know I'm saying, but when I I never discredit Biggie. I definitely acknowledge his talent and I understand, I understand where people Are coming from. Because I know all the Biggie folk Is like he had less time. You know what I'm saying and so they're saying With the quality of work that he put out During a short period of time compared to Pac, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6Well, it was almost like Biggie couldn't miss. He was that hot. So even on his features like sometimes you just play his verse on the feature song just to I mean, just to get to his verse, yeah, Uh, faster, because he it was going to be bars, Right.
Speaker 1Um, I'm not going to lie. Is it actually funny that you say that I feel like it was kind of a curse that, uh, Craig Mack put him in the beginning? Oh man I mean now, granted, I'm not gonna lie, everybody kinda killed their part, but it's just like, damn Like.
Speaker 5I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 6Biggie's on my song. He's gonna last.
Speaker 1Like you, you gonna wait for this.
Speaker 6Yeah, um, and I'm gonna be honest, I don't think I've ever heard A throwaway bar From Biggie. You know, sometimes rappers Is like I gotta get to the End of the 16th.
Speaker 2Let me just say some shit on repeat, so you feel like he was just locked in every verse.
Tanaka's Album of the Day
Speaker 6Yeah, every verse, every song, every feature. No, let me repeat this because I don't have another 8. You know kind of thing, so, but nothing either that made you go down. Okay, I guess you was bored, I guess you was high on a time constraint. There's not a bar, a biggie that you can say that so so.
Speaker 2So today we got album of the day and, um, my album of the day is gonna go to gorilla zo. Welcome to the zoo.
Speaker 2Uh, this was his debut album, um that had hood hoodnich on it and, um, I don't know, I kind of went down the rabbit hole, you know, with gorilla zoe, just to kind of figure out uh, you know how he you know came to be, so to speak. And yeah, basically, uh, zoe, he had started off as basically a songwriter and he was just basically songwriting for the artists on bad boy or for, I think, block my bad, for block nc, and then block was just like he had a hood figure and you know, block was like man, why don't you just rap it, bro? Like it sounds fine, you know, and he like man, nah, like you know, he was so used to just being a songwriter and then he wasn't really taking that rap series like that. You know, it's just to get a little check. You know, here and there he recorded it. So that was the first song that he ever recorded, was that joint.
Speaker 2And then, um, you know, obviously they that that was a smash and then one thing led to another and all of a sudden, you know he will boys in the hood and all that.
Speaker 2Um, but it's interesting because this all ties back to kind of like um, you know how Jeezy and Jody were kind of beefing it kind of ties back to that because, you know, obviously egos and stuff like that you know were playing a role. But I feel like once they knew that Jeezy was going to leave Boys in the Hood, I feel like Jody kind of thought that he was going to be, you know, next to blow up you know what I'm saying Next to kind of go. But then they replaced Jeezy with Zoe and that's when Zoe really got the spotlight as opposed to Jody, you know, and I don't think Zoe and Jody ever had no issues or nothing, but I do feel like, you know, jody, he never really got his, his chance to kind of blow up off of boys in the hood you know, but, anyway, getting back to zoe's debut album, the reason I went back to this, um, because when it initially came out I didn't really care for the album.
Speaker 2It was cool but it didn't really stand out to me like for real. For real, and then, being that we play so much trap music for these writers, bro, I never would have thought that that man Eye song would take off like it did amongst them. I don't know how you felt, turn Up, that was my first time ever hearing the song and I'm not gonna lie hearing the song is kind of it.
Speaker 2Yeah, like I didn't. I, that was one song that I would have never expected them to really gravitate towards like that for real so what's?
Speaker 1what's? I'm sorry, I mean but, shout out to you because that was the first time me here, and trying to make a joke too. I don't know if this is on the same album. I apologize if it's not. Oh, no, it is, it is yeah, Shout out to you for dropping that, because I swear you're like the first person I ever heard play it and it's gone nuts ever since.
Speaker 2Yeah, no, that was like one of the few songs off of that joint that I was really rocking with. But then so, then. So I've been trying to dig back into, like them, old trap albums, because you know how it's like that era, they just like appreciate the beats like in that era for real and so I would listen to. I'm like, oh, I guess like there's some of these records I could try out, right, and I go to cascade east, I'm djing just like a regular family session or whatever, and this girl asked me to play a song I literally just added to my library bro, and this one album cuts off of the zo album, bro, and I'm like what the?
Speaker 2I'm like how does she know bro, like. And so I was talking with her after and she's just like, because I asked some of the cascade east like, is she a regular skater? And they're like, no, that was the first time we seen her. And then I was like, how do you know that song? And she was like I'm from Atlanta, you know what I'm saying. And then, like, I guess she was like her dad probably played it for her and stuff like that. So I don't know that joint be mind-blowing to me, bro. But yeah, some of the burgers that I F with, though, is Do Something Money man, obviously the hook figure trying to make a jug.
Speaker 2Juice Box. Juice Box is on there, yeah, last time I checked.
Speaker 6I definitely thought that was a Jock's arm.
Speaker 2Yeah, I know it's definitely a Jock's arm. But yeah, man, I was on the second, the second album, um, but yeah, there's some other records on here that are cool. I just I don't know if I really bumped them like that for real, but um, but yeah, salute to us. I got to give, get my process. The dirty glove bastard because they had did the interview was oh and brother records that they pointed out to, though, are literally the album cuz that I F with, and I was amazed.
Speaker 2I'm like damn. So I'm not the only one that feel this way, cuz, like, of all the songs on the album that they could have mentioned as like a favorite album, could they specifically was saying the ones that I have with. So definitely check out the project. You know it's definitely one of the main ones. Out that bad boy south kind of arrow will block you and see what boys in the hood young Young, jock, zo and Jeezy so yeah, man, drama Boy, dj, dana, fat Boy, chris Flames Just some of the names that was producing. And yeah, that last time I checked that was produced by 50 Cent's producer, shy Money XL, and I think that's why I like the record, because it's a different sound. It's not just a trap record from Zo, it's like you know. But yeah, man, album of the day, welcome to the zoo, gorilla Zoo that's actually.
DJ Talk
Speaker 1That's actually interesting that you put it in that perspective all right, so we're going to move to. Dj Talk. Dj Talk, alright, so it's beautiful that you're here, tonic, because this DJ Talk is going to be all about you. So we're going to pull up some of these old episodes Shout out to everybody that listens to all the older episodes and we're going to pull up some of these older DJ Talk.
Speaker 1And we're just going up some of these older dj talk and we're just gonna let we just have you answer okay, cool, well, um, that being said, that's gonna move us on dj talk, all right. So, tanaka, I got a question for you. Well, yeah, young, come up to you. Hey, tanaka, I want to learn how to dj. So tonic, a youngin comes up to you. Hey, dj, tonic, I want to learn how to DJ. So Tani, a youngin' comes up to you. Hey, dj, tani, I want to learn how to DJ. What do they come? How do they approach you about learning how to DJ?
Speaker 6It's almost like just how you said it. Um, I don't have too many because of where I DJ See like y'all are in skate rinks, where y'all have a lot of the younger folks. You know me, I'm either in the strip club during the week.
Speaker 1Okay. So when we say younger, you didn't necessarily got to be a kid, I know, I know.
Speaker 6But what I'm trying to say is the demographics that I work with. I don't have a lot of people coming up that's what I'm saying so like I might have one or two dancers and be like, hey, I think about DJ and it seems like cool. But what I was gonna say is in, so you could do like a lot of corporate events or a lot of a lot of weddings.
Speaker 2Nobody's coming up asking the DJ, so or so, like they just there to attend the function, right? I'm not really right. Oh, how would I? Yeah, I mean it's more so like they just there to attend the function and not really like, oh, how would I go about it?
Speaker 1Yeah, and I mean to your point, to your point. You don't have any regulars with that, just weddings, right? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Oh, tonics DJed this wedding. That's blue. Yeah, right, exactly, exactly, that's not a thing.
Speaker 6Okay, that makes sense. I'm not even DJ Tonic at weddings, I'm DJ Kenton. So just hypothetically. Is it just because? Was it Tonic? Is it just?
Speaker 1not an appropriate word for the white folks or something.
Speaker 6Yeah, I feel like, well, my clientele don't care about DJ monikers or any of that. They really just care about music. As a matter of fact, some of them um, it's changing now in the, in these 2020s, but, like when I first started and I would say even up to the 20 teens it was like they were almost kind of turned off if you had a dj moniker, because they were like oh, so you're gonna make this a club like we want this to be a classy affair. We want bland dj, greg dj, bobby dj, whatever um that's an interesting person.
Speaker 2I never thought of it like that. That's an interesting perspective.
Speaker 6But understand, I do predominantly white weddings. Now if I'm doing a black wedding, yeah, they want a cool DJ there. That's the first thing they ask me from that and. I would say. I would say about 10, 15% of my wedding clientele is black. So that come up. Yeah, that's the first thing they ask me what's your DJ name?
Speaker 1But you know All right, yeah, all right Question. Oh, we're going to do five of these by the way Okay. So yeah, so that was number one. Number two Doing a research for a gig. How do you go about that, doing a research for a gig? You can give me any perspective, because I know that's pretty loose question. So I guess for your weddings that you usually do, how do you usually do your research on what to play?
Speaker 6Well, so let's just say weddings, let's say any type of private event, corporate events, and we'll say corporate events because most weddings are the same. I got a playlist that will work for 90% of the weddings I do, but a lot of corporate events that I do might have a different theme. I just did a corporate event a couple months ago. I just did a corporate event a couple months ago Might have been December for a holiday party where they wanted Miami poolside kind of vibe.
Speaker 6And I'm like yeah, I've never been to Miami. So first and foremost there's that, and then what are we playing at the pool? So, with that case, then I know I'll go, I'll go to, um, the couple, uh, streaming sources that I have, the spotify or title and, uh, mostly spotify, and I'll just, you know, go and check what kind of playlist they got there and listen and see what the vibe is and go, oh, okay, I feel you. So it's more kind of loungy, chill kind of thing. Um, I did a corporate event a couple years ago where they wanted for their cocktail hour and dinner, they wanted what's known as chill lounge. I didn't know what the hell chill lounge is, had to go, you know, find that out did they give you any examples like artists?
Speaker 2oh so you just had to purely like just look that up online.
Speaker 6Yeah so also um, oh, I guess cheap plug it's not really cheap, because I pay for it but.
Speaker 6I but I do have, uh, a site that I use, the app, whatever. It's called crate hackers. Yeah, I mean, it's like 30 bucks a month, you know. If you got it, you got. If you don't, you don't. But same thing. So, but same thing. So what Crate Hackers is? It's a collaboration of DJs, upper echelon DJs. They put together crates. You can almost guess anything. You want 80s pop, you know 70s dinners music, modern music for high school functions, whatever, and so there's sections like Chill Lounge. I was just about to ask you that.
Speaker 6Yeah, so that's sections like chill lounge and there's like eight. Yeah, so there's like that and that's where I got that from. There's like eight, there's like eight whole playlists and we're talking at least 20 songs each playlist. Chill lounge, one chill lounge studio. I was like, oh, that's amazing, like that was a crate. Hackers has saved me a few times on a couple of events. So I would just say, in general, you know, explore.
Speaker 6If you're a dj and you're trying to find, are you trying to get into two different uh, genres? Um, do your research, like I'm trying to get more into edm, just quickly. And but edm is broad, very broad, right, very broad. You got house, you got big room, you got, you know, you got all this. So it's like you got this version of trap, you know, and it's like, okay, what, what I want to focus on first, what, what do these songs fits into that? So you just research, research, research. But yeah, that's what I do, I'm very in depth. But you know, I guess, when it comes to dj and you can say I'm og type thing, so that's crazy man.
Speaker 2I found out that shack be djing oh yeah, dj diesel, yeah just discovered it.
Speaker 1Yeah, shack is a shack of all trades I kind of figure what side you, what side you're on, but there are two type of djs in this world, right, the djs that actually you know, have the mixing and transitions and all that stuff. And then there are DJs that kind of just kind of just play for the crowd per se and don't really do any mixing or transition and just kind of like host. They're kind of like, they kind of just host, they kind of just like no mixing, just dropping records.
Speaker 2Yeah, like talking.
Speaker 1Yeah, they're talking for a little bit and then they'll like, they'll, they'll get the crowd's attention and you know, and it's like from Back in Blood to Before I Let Go, mm Gotcha. So, for example, for example, me and Breezy Shout out, breezy. We went to Bonfire yesterday and there was this DJ that did the main stage. For example, me and Breezy shout out, breezy. We went to Bonfire yesterday and there was this DJ that did the main stage and he was bouncing from back in blood to fucking. I don't know he was bouncing but he was hitting all the hits.
Speaker 1So he was catching everybody's attention, but it was just kind of like all bro like, like you know at this point, like, like you already got a host up there, like you, really, you really don't need to be doing a lot of hosting the host was his person or somebody else no, apparently, apparently, according to breezy that that this is a person that's been around like the club scene for a while.
Speaker 1So, yeah, no, apparently he was already with the bonfire folks and bro was still doing all the hosting and all that shit. But how you, how do you feel like? Do you think that's considered still djing when folks do stuff like that long-winded question? But yes, so, tony, how do you feel about people that don't necessarily do the mixing and transitioning? They're hosting and and? For the most part, they're getting people's attention, but it's just kind of dropping from I don't know fat, juicy and wet to to fucking uh euphoria so south you know the folks from Atlanta.
Speaker 6They have this saying Atlanta influences everything, which lately that's been the case, especially hip-hop, a lot of stuff. What you're talking about, I feel like started up North. That's a huge thing. No, seriously.
Speaker 1And it's funny that you say that, because Tanaka was talking about that, but go ahead, yeah so.
Speaker 6So I'm from virginia. We mixed in virginia. I've been djing since the 90s. I've been djing since djing was djing, so when I would go up to new york, that's, that's really huge even still. But back then that was really huge and it was annoying as fuck to me, like I'm in the club and the dj's playing and then he stops, he wants to talk for 20 seconds before dropping the next song and and so they've been doing that since like 80s and 90s up north and I guess you know well here in atlanta it's, it's, it's such a melting pot when these folks brought that down and now that's becoming more popular here. If it works, it works.
Speaker 6It's always been annoying as fuck to me, like, like just played a song or do like we do cut in and out during the song, hype a bit, but and I feel like, yeah, I absolutely feel like I don't even know if you can call yourself a dj, if that's all you doing, because anybody can then curate the top 20, 30 songs, that's out, that's going to be a hit and just play them and talk and just go all over the place. Prime example shout out King of Diamonds. Here in Atlanta. They got a Sunday brunch. I don't know if I should. Oh, fuck it. He might hear me. He might hear me or not. Uh, I can, nelly, put it in your mouth fame, he, uh, he's the host slash dj for the brunch portion.
Speaker 6And then he does that shit too, like oh, I want to know if you know this song. And then he'll play a song for 30 seconds and everybody's singing along and he does what mostly throwbacks I mean. And same thing. He will go from like like late 90s, early 2000s, mariah to, and he just stopped mid-verse, everybody's singing, the ladies are singing along, he just stopped, cut it off. I hear you, I hear you, but I want to know if you know this song. And then he'll drop like Loving you, minnie Riperton, and what's crazy. It fucking works, it does, it does. But then, and same thing, and he won't even do like a regular stopping point, like into the chorus or something. He'll just stop in the mid-verse. I hear you ladies, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Do you know this song? And then I'm going down, I'm just saying so, it works. So if you can make it work, you can make it work, but to me that's still beginner level DJs, but you still know your music, so I'll give you kudos for that.
Speaker 1That's a topic boy, because, in the same token, not a lot of people take that time to interact with the crowd. Some DJs are dope djs in the mixing transition, but they do not like to talk at all. So I'll just say this kudos to the people that actually interact and are like not even like like just on the mic looking down, looking around, looking like looking dead in the folks eyes.
Speaker 6You, yeah, you like, like doing all that type shit Shout out to y'all Well, real quick. So you've really only seen me DJ like at the clubs, right. So I am kind of interactive a little bit because we have to be at strip clubs. But I'm a totally different DJ at weddings and corporate events and I'm that DJ that once it's dance time after eating or whatever, I just play the music Like I don't say anything. For that last hour, hour and a half I just let the music talk and so I am that DJ.
Speaker 1That's like ah, music working, that's good they don't need to hear my yeah, that's fine, right, like you said, what works works, what works, fuck it.
DJ Lights Importance and Underrated Artists
Speaker 2Go for it All right, let's see Number four. As a DJ with private events, do you feel like you should have lights?
Speaker 1Tony, as a private DJ, do you come with lights? And if you don't I mean if you do like, what are the, I guess, why do you need lights?
Speaker 6Absolutely, absolutely. First of all, if you're dealing with black people and the room is dark, it's too much darkness, darkness, everybody Darkness. All you see is eyes and teeth. Because we want it dark. We want it dark. Niggas don't want to party in a well-lit room.
Speaker 1No, they don't, they don't Right.
Speaker 6So you need something to break that shit up. Um, but, yeah, absolutely, um, I have, I have what's known. I bring out what's known as the chave. Uh, four bar flex. This is a kind of older light bar. Uh, I think I had this since like 2016, 2017. I like it because it's four big wash lights side by side. They chase, they do everything, whatever, yada, yada. But then you can also add some other lights that do cool effects on top of that, and that's what I do. I have two little chave kentas that I put on top and they do the the patterns and stuff as well. So, um, absolutely, I feel like, if you're not I mean, I'll say this too, I guess, depending on the pay that you're getting, if you're only getting $200 and you set up no speakers and everything else, then fuck it man, y'all ain't pay from the lights Right.
Speaker 6Most of the parties, I do, I, I do. I get 500 or more. That's not a flex, that's just my clientele, that's just the expectation.
Speaker 1Last one Remember there was a joint where the guy was like for his song request he's going to start doing. Do you remember that?
Speaker 4uh, let, me see, the answer is no, yeah yeah, I know, I know, I know. I'm trying to see if I can find. I'm trying to see if I can find it no, no, no man.
Speaker 2Yes, I know, tanaka, you don't know. No, no, no man, here it goes. Say it on the mic, if you say it on the mic and the crowd agree, I'll say it.
Speaker 4But if it gets a boo. Ha ha, ha ha. Nah, that's an iPod thing, that's gonna be an iPhone phone. Yeah, that's the new thing. You don't want to play that song. Tell them to tell everyone. Tell everyone the song you want to play. Find out how they're loving it.
Speaker 1And I'm not trying to play.
Speaker 6So, tanaka, your thoughts. I saw you post this in our delinquents Once. Somebody posted it in the delinquents group chat, which was if you think the song is whack, it's either you call them out and let them host it and see, or not see how that go. Yeah, because we had a conversation in the delinquents group chat. No, yeah, I don't see you doing that to the white folks.
Speaker 6Well, it's not that I mean. Actually, I'm going to be honest, I think that would work better with the white crowd Like hey, so-and-so wants to hear this song, yeah man. And then what will happen is you know, listen, cat Williams said it best Nobody parties like your white friends, like they get drunk and they're ready to party right. Also shout-out Tommy Davidson. He was talking about how black folks always talk about white folks can't dance. And he was like yeah white folks can dance.
Speaker 6They just, it's just. They body don't do what they brain send those to do? Yeah, but they ready to party, but yeah. So if somebody came up and just asked for like some random ass song that I don't think will go, here's the thing.
Speaker 6I might not know, I'm not the king of all things vanilla, so I might, and most of my corporate parties to corporate parties or weddings. I don't know that crowd. So it's not a club, right, or a bar where we've got kind of the same vibe, we've created a vibe whatever. Yada, yada, yada. Y'all know what's going to happen. I never know. So there have been times when I've been asked to play a song and I've been like the fuck and then I played it and the crowd goes wild type thing. So you never know. Now with us, we know, we know, like it, like or yeah, I mean now that I say it out loud, that would be the problem that we would be the problem.
Speaker 6Well, I think with us the biggest thing is I don't think we ever have any bad requests. I could be wrong. I've never gotten a bad request at a predominantly black event. I've ever done clubs, bars whatever, private events whatever, but the song might not fit what's going on at the time and then you got to go hey, okay, that's not a bad song. But I've never had anybody that just came and asked me to play a song that I just knew was going to kill the dance floor, kill the party. It was just like okay, I'm in New Orleans, bounce, and you're trying to hit Kendrick Lamar and this is not the vibe right now. Like I'm going to get to the West Coast, I got you, but we in New Orleans right now. This is Master P, this is Hot Boys.
Speaker 6You know, or I'm sorry, I said New Orleans Bounce, so this is Bounce, you know what I'm saying? Like we just not, we not there yet, let me get, let me get to to there, and then yeah, that's that, yeah, so, but yeah, I wouldn give.
Speaker 2I wouldn't give my mic either, because you never know what motherfuckers is gonna say like, like they might just say some stupid stuff and then you gotta cut the mic or get you gotta fight for your mic bag. We know, we know me and drip it. Have experienced that first.
Speaker 7Okay, but yeah, that was the BJ talk, what?
Speaker 1do we got left.
Speaker 7Oh, the schedule. Oh, I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 1Open topic. I forgot about open topic. Yeah. So, tonic, since you are a guest, yeah, whatever you want to talk about, whether it be negative, positive, we agree, we disagree. Cancelable, not cancelable. Boom, you want to promote something.
Speaker 6So I actually got a dj related, music related open topic when you were talking about um gorilla zoe and being uh, uh and and gz being part of boys in the hood and and your homie that didn't blow up.
Speaker 3forget his name, Jody Breeze.
Speaker 6Yeah, that got me thinking what other rappers and duos or trios or groups do you think were good but never got to get their shine either because the main star was too bright? I'll give you a prime example. I'm going to go St Lunatics Now. I feel like Nelly was actually the weakest MC of the group, but I feel like he was like the Quavo. He was the personality I really really fucked with Murphy Lee, but them folk from the Midwest and at the time I was dating somebody from St Louis she was like but for real, the truth in the St Louis is Ali and he's just like nobody, just like nobody was ever. So is there anybody, any duos or groups that y'all mess with, like you know what so-and-so? They can't get their shine on.
Speaker 2It's so funny because I knew that was coming. Tonic, I need you.
Speaker 1I don't know what episode it is. I'm going to do my research. I need you to go back and listen to that episode, okay, where Tanaka does a deep dive on the St Lunaticston, because there's a lot of stuff that she said and I laughed and it's funny because we had this conversation and it's like it's interesting. It's just interesting to hear all of that. All of that is interesting.
Speaker 1But um, or not just groups or labels, like somebody that's on a label that you thought should have blew up, but it's just interesting that you brought up the St Wilmington and I was like, yeah, it's crazy, but um, it's interesting that you brought up the St Louis Tickets. I was like, yeah, it's crazy, but um. I gotta think about that one.
Speaker 2Yeah, I gotta think about that Okay, so not necessarily a label, but I'm not gonna lie.
Underrated Artists in Rap Industry
Speaker 1Okay, so there's two people I'm thinking about one person I can think of, because we initially talked about how he should have been a bigger artist earlier. K Camp definitely feel like he should have been bigger because he definitely had. I feel like with the right people behind him, he could have been bigger and Tanaka probably doesn't remember this, but this was a conversation had, I don't know. I feel like with the right people behind him, he could have been bigger.
Speaker 1And Tanaka probably doesn't remember this, but this was a conversation we had probably around the first time we started meeting each other. It's outside, yeah, okay, but no, this is a conversation me and Tanaka had. Well, it's not really a conversation, he was kind of more telling me because I really didn't know the situation. But I definitely felt like Maka had. It wasn't really a conversation, he was more telling me. I really didn't know the situation. I definitely felt like Day Day should have been a lot bigger. He was in a really weird record label situation. That's kind of not the same.
Speaker 6I really want to stick with groups.
Speaker 3You said record labels.
Speaker 6I mean Gucci had somebody sign and he featured him in a couple songs. So that's different, the fact you said record labels.
Speaker 1But when I say record labels, I mean like Gucci had somebody sign and he featured him in a couple songs and you heard so okay, so that's different. Yeah, that's what I mean the fact that you said Gucci. I was just thinking of Fuji Anno, but Fuji kind of fucked himself up.
Speaker 6Yeah, that's what I meant by record label Like. So they've been featured. So artists Psy High is definitely that's his fault. You know, that's what me and we still waiting on the album.
Speaker 1Psy High album number two. It's crazy to think the Psy and I'll always bring this back up the 2010 Good Music Psy, psy High had zero albums. Big Sean had zero albums. 15 years later, psy High had zero albums. Big Sean had zero albums. 15 years later, psy High One album Big Sean. How many albums were we with with Big Sean? Was it like 6 or 7?
Speaker 2Yeah, something like that, but how good are they?
Speaker 1I think they're pretty solid.
Speaker 6They're built dope on Sunday.
Speaker 2Finally, famous Dark Sky Paradise. Don't forget Hall of Fame. Hall of Fame, I think it was Dark Sky.
Speaker 1After that, yep and then Are we counting the Jalea Eco one or no, I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 2Finally famous Even without that Hall of Fame, dark Sky Paradise to tell you I mean even without that Hall of Fame. Dr Scott Paradise I decided?
Speaker 6I decided Detroit 2. Yeah, and then the latest one Better. Me Than you yeah.
Speaker 1I decided it was a pretty good body of work. I got to listen to that again, yeah, so six I decided it side. It was a pretty good body of work, so it was finally famous. The album um, I mean the finally famous wasn't really a good body of work.
Speaker 2It was good songs though I will say that yeah, um I mean well, okay, so when you put it like that, sonic, I mean the first name that came to my mind I don't know if I was just this, was just my nerdiness, or whatever. I was anticipating Young LA dropping his album. You know what I'm saying? Like they had the album cover they had the album title A&I was going crazy he had them street singles that was also buzzing at the time, and then the album got shelved and it never released.
Speaker 1So that's yeah roscoe dash yeah, another one yeah no hands should have been his single yeah no hands should have been his single bro. I, I'm still mad at that. Yeah, that should not have been on flock of belly, yeah that is such a sore thumb in that fucking album.
Speaker 2I'm trying to tell you it's so crazy to think about and just look at the producers on that album and look at how no Hands just sticks out like really bad. You don't even have to hear the song, you can see all the people who's involved in that song. Compared to the album, anything else Literally anything else.
Speaker 1That shit is nuts, I don't know. It just seemed like Roscoe was always following in some shit with his singles All the way turned up. He had to get Soulja Boy on there. No hands, honestly, I really don't know this background. Behind no Hands yeah, yeah, I Hands. Honestly, I really don't know the background behind, no Hands yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6It's crazy, though. Flacavelli had singles that went out for over two years because it dropped in 2009. But Grove Street Party released as a single in 2011.
Speaker 2I think, wait, the album came out 2010, didn't it okay?
Speaker 6well, so the album came out 2010. Yeah, my bad, the album came out 2010, but what's crazy is O let's Do? It came out almost a year before, in April of 09, and then Hardin' to Paint came out in June of 2010. No Hands in August of 2010. And then Groove Street Party, february of 2017.
Speaker 2Yeah, Tom, you brought it up. I gotta speak on the mind.
Speaker 2K-camp Day Day Michael Montana, young Jock, nitty, bro Burned all of them With Young Jock, nitty, bruh burned all of them. Well, young Jock, I mean they kind of you know what I'm saying is going down. You know what I'm saying. But Jock was telling the story. He met up with Nitty. You know what I'm saying. I guess Nitty, he was getting involved because he had, he had a group, I guess, on the east side or whatever, and he wasn't. I guess he was trying to not work with them, no more, and they was like really trying to get after him tight, joint and um. So he started working with jock. You're never gonna believe this. Jock wrote, wrote to the, to this record, and then he like his homegirl listening to the radio or something like that, and they're like ain't that your song? He like bro, what the they done stole the whole flow cadence like of the hook and everything. Gucci man, is you rolling the whole flow cadence like of the hook and everything?
Speaker 1Gucci man Is you?
Speaker 2rolling. It's your man, he's killed. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So, jock, you know, obviously he's mad. He's like bro, what the fuck? Like I was writing to that song, you just gave that shit away to the home.
Speaker 2Like you know what I'm saying and you know, so it's like I don't know nitty's an interesting one, bro, because the fact that you just get because jock over there like man f him, like he just gave away a hit bro, like that, that's going crazy. You know what I'm saying. But yeah, luckily he made up for it somewhat.
Speaker 3What is going down, but yeah, nitty's a it's an interesting one to work with.
Speaker 2It was so mad.
Speaker 6That's crazy, I'm trying to think and I can say you can go back to like, if there's anybody on death row, was there anybody? You know? No Limit. Well, this is a little older Lox.
Speaker 1Okay, so I'm not going to lie. I was so. When I was younger I used to try to. When I finally got access to different, when I got access to like all the music that I did, I just started listening to different people and I'm not going to lie, I was kind of upset and I, you know it's crazy in the back of my, in the front of gonna lie. I was kind of upset and I, you know it's crazy in the back of my, in the front of my head. I kind of figured he wouldn't be nothing, but in the back of my head I know, like fucking King Lowe's my baby.
Speaker 2I made a mistake. It wasn't pills, it would go ahead. Shawty got a ass on her. I don't know if you ever heard of King Los, but King Los was he was one of the folks on the roster on Bad Boy in the late 2000s, early 2010s he had one of the best responses to Kendrick the control shit yeah, his control response was fucking ridiculous.
Speaker 6Kendrick the control, shit, his control, verse His control response was fucking ridiculous.
Speaker 1I didn't even know he had one of those.
Speaker 2We'll have to watch it when we get done. When did you first hear King Lil Hip hop early, I want to say I first heard him on because I think he made one of those Amelie freestyles. You know how everybody was making a face out some million. He just was snapping crazy. I was like oh, who's this?
Underrated Rappers and Missed Opportunities
Speaker 1um, so let's is there because it's a really big camp is. It was a lot of people, you probably probably say but do y'all think that anybody in Young Money besides Nicki Minaj, nicki Minaj, drake and Tyga that should have been bigger?
Speaker 6I thought it was J Mills.
Speaker 1I was thinking that, but I was like I don't know, is there something hope, is there something about him? That's like holding him back because, I'm not gonna lie, what's interesting about jay mills is he had a couple songs that I was like he actually fuck with this. Yeah, he had a song, but I mean, I ain't gonna lie, granted it like I had a whole bunch of other people on it, but he had a song called Green Goblin. I will never forget that song. That song was dope. And then he had a freestyle. It was actually funny.
Speaker 1He had a freestyle before Drake and Kendrick came out with Poetic Justice to Anytime, anyplace. It was on his. I think he had a mixtape called he's Still Nasty or some shit like that, but yeah. J Mills definitely was up there too. I did give gutta gutta a try as well, and he wasn't actually that bad either.
Speaker 2I feel like yeah, I think gutta, gutta would have been my next, as far as in that camp at least.
Speaker 6Yeah, all that could have been what it could have, should have, uh, but yeah, now we can go to, like I said, but yeah but who do I think should be bigger?
Speaker 2I mean, personally, the group that I'm always standing by is the Backwoods. I don't know if you remember them. They had that song. Oh my god, I just thought of somebody fucking dope bruh off of Hustle Gang bruh. That shit pissed me the fuck, bro. That was like did you, did you remember dope tonic?
Speaker 6yeah were you listening.
Speaker 1Did you listen to their first mixtape, gd OD with um and, ironically enough, that's when they fell out with young la, but um, this is like 20. This is when they came out with that song. Sampling that, here I go. Do you remember that? Right, yeah, yeah, yeah that was around that time they had came out with that mixtape, probably the best mixtape, but no, I think before that dope it was side to side, the guyobie and who was the last person?
Speaker 2I feel like it was like three or four of them. Yeah, it was three of them. I think I got to look it up now that's going to bother me. Yeah dope, but the back was they were the one that had the Oompa Loompa song. I mean, that song was just Wait a minute.
Speaker 1I don't like the look of it, holy shit. How do I remember?
Speaker 2that? What the fuck? That song was cool, but they had also the Billie Holiday sample. You're going to love me. I think I do remember that too.
Speaker 6Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah that is definitely Stephanie Mills oh well, I look, bro, we're not that old, we'll play the record for you, man you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2Let's see if you can recall. But yeah, I really believed in them because I felt like they had that lyricism but then also kind of that Atlanta swag about them.
Speaker 1I would say Black. Hippie too, but I mean Kendrick. I would say, he Hippie too, but I mean Kendrick I would say he fucked that up. I don't know, I'll still. Even if Kendrick doesn't believe, I'll still believe Black Hippie.
Speaker 2Bruh all the posse cuts that they made.
Speaker 1Bruh, like you can literally just make a Mixtape off of that. Honestly.
Speaker 3I tried to.
Speaker 1I tried to find all their songs. Gonna lie, I tried to. I tried to find all their songs that they put together and just put it in one big ass. You know what? I think that might be my next project, because I think I still got Spody.
Speaker 2Shout out to God. Spody and Young Boots.
Speaker 6Spody yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes we're here just quickly because you already kind of hit it. You did name some just solo artists that we figured should be big. We talked about this earlier at the Rush K-Camp. You said Day Day, anybody else? Hey man, why hadn't they blown up? The K-Camp blows my mind that he's not huge. He just didn't have the right people behind him. I just I'm going to tell you who For me personally and I heard, because he likes the streets more than music Rocco. Yes, oh my God, rocco, you want to talk about bars and lyricism.
Speaker 1We talked about that too. Yeah, that food, that food mixtape is stupid the fact that he was able to come up with all those foods and like the nachos and the chips and dip I was like wow, that is clever yeah, I think, um, I don't know.
Speaker 2I think I feel like roger wanted to be more of a businessman, like he was trying to sign other artists, you know I'm saying, and so because of that he wasn't always like fully focused on just yeah.
Speaker 6But when he drops up. He dropped so much like just he dropped so many gems.
Speaker 3Like yeah, like it should have been.
Speaker 6Like he could have been master p, yeah, or did he? Yeah because did it like or dre or all these guys that are right, you know m&m shady record like because you heard that future was signed down yeah, I know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, y'all know how. Well, if y'all don't know how, y'all should know how I feel about Future.
Speaker 1Yeah, but he's um. I don't know it's more uh, shit I mean, but it's working for him. Quality over quantity Well, no, quantity over quality, yeah. Quantity over quality, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6Yeah, it's quality over quantity. No, no, he's quantity over quality future yeah, yeah, that's quantity almost definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I was talking about.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, future is quantity over quality. But I mean it works for him and his uh, his core fan base. Fuck with it. So, hey, if it works, it works. Fuck it. Um. Okay, what about mmg? Is there anybody off of there? Anybody off of there? See Anybody off?
Speaker 3of there.
Speaker 1See, I would say Wale, but Wale just didn't ever know when to shut up.
Speaker 6I was going to say I feel like he did. I feel like he was an odd member of MMG. He definitely was.
Speaker 2He was an odd member.
Speaker 1He definitely was an odd member but he just didn't know when to shut up, like he was up, like at that time when he got signed to MMG he was up there with Kendrick and Cole.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1Like Cole Wale Kendrick yeah. Like those were the lyricists of that time.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Only difference was J Cole and Kendrick weren't complaining, wale was. Wale was complaining a lot and that's what kept putting his foot in his mouth and it just, I don't know. It just got really weird. Yeah, yeah, but, um, yeah, other than that, I don't know, uh, I don't know I didn't really that second generation of mmg I didn't really like pay attention to, like fat trail and tracy t and like it was just kind of like what was it?
Speaker 2rocky, fresh I was just about to say that, yeah, rocky, I didn't really I don't know, I didn't really pay attention to that. What were your thoughts on Pill?
Speaker 1The Michelle of the group, definitely the Michelle of the group. That's him. Oh, kd, that's him, right, yeah.
Speaker 6The Michelle of the group is wild.
Speaker 2You remember Pill.
Speaker 1Exactly. You don't even remember Pill, but I remember Michelle. That's what I'm saying that's wild.
Speaker 6Everybody's sleeping like. Michelle didn't do some things. She did some things outside of destiny yeah, exactly, but I mean it was like because she went the gospel route, she started singing for jesus I mean.
Speaker 1But even that she did um, she did more like the broadway stuff that she's more good at.
Speaker 6Yeah, when we're saying she did stuff like she. Yeah, what.
Speaker 1I'm saying she did stuff. I mean, yeah, I'm pretty sure Peele did stuff. No, I'm pretty sure he's not on the streets right now.
Speaker 6What is Peele doing right now? I don't know. Give me a song Post, MMG Give me a song, michelle did I heard a word what's your?
Speaker 2favorite part of that song, actually song, I ain't gonna lie. He was on the screen for a little bit.
Speaker 1Damn Damn I tried, I tried so hard.
Speaker 2I think he's good now. I think he's good now. He did have a little rough patch.
Speaker 6I heard a word. It's kind of like that Neo Soul gospel song. Actually it's really cool. I know you listen to gospel.
Speaker 1Not at all. So let me ask you this, because this is more of the early 2000s Did you feel like anybody in Flipmo's squad should have been bigger?
Speaker 6Nigga, let's talk about it. The whole squad, raw Diggins, should have been one of the top female em top female mcs to ever like. She should be in that conversation um so what do you think happened?
Speaker 1just, they're not just not the right camp behind her yeah, oh yeah, we gotta ask you.
Speaker 2I don't really know much about digger, besides that verse on I know what you want, oh, oh.
Speaker 5And then I yeah, I didn't even think about it?
Speaker 2Did she have an album?
Speaker 1She did, she did, she had a single too. Okay, oh, I got another record label.
Speaker 6I just felt like, so the thing with the thing with what's the label.
Speaker 1Flip Mo, squad, flip Mo.
Speaker 6Busta is, he's his own stratosphere and that's the problem. Legitimately he's not like Nelly, he's a god MC and we really just wanted Like what's his. I like Ramp, the Last Boy Scout. I thought he should, he had his tone.
Speaker 1Is he the guy on Flavoring Year?
Speaker 6I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was 94.
Speaker 1Mad motherfucking hardcore. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6He had kind of that more baritone voice, a little deeper. Yeah, spliff didn't really do anything for me so much but ramp and raw digger for sure. Uh, raw digger. Uh, I think raw digger's problem was back then she was very much like, um, like the brat, very like she wasn't a sexy, she wasn't trying to be, she wasn't so, she wasn't trying to sell sex she was more like a Remy Ma right, right, yeah in the era of Eve Lil' Kim Foxy Browns so was she like a Rhapsody, or was that?
Speaker 1is that too lyrical?
Speaker 3I, I mean um, I'm not going to.
Speaker 1I didn't read the list.
Speaker 6No raw digger yeah, um, see, this wasn't. I just think she didn't fit the the tone of female rappers in that in that time and I think which but kudos? Because flip mode, they were like yeah, be you, but it just didn't work. It wasn't selling like like. I think the only reason the brat did as well as she did was because jd really really pushed the hell out of her um, but you know, niggas wasn't really checking like yo, the brat. You see that last rap video like the rat sexy as fuck because she's gay as fuck and she wasn't trying to.
Speaker 1I don't know if roddick is gay or not, but she definitely watching some of those videos where she was showing like her woman side and I don't know, please. I mean look if the brat just so happens to even listen to this fucking podcast I apologize if I'm falsely acclaiming, but I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 1Watching some of them videos where she got on bathing suits, she just felt uncomfortable. She felt uncomfortable. I just felt like it was just like she doesn't want to do this. Somebody still want to do this. I don't know who still want to do this. I don't know.
Speaker 2But if I'm wrong, then cool, do your thing.
Speaker 6Nah, I hate that, I feel like, yeah, I feel like rod digger was like a, like a remy ma dtp. Oh shit, nigga. Where do we start like? So let me tell you this dtp is the prime example of when rap stars do not make great executives. I can go back even further. I'll get to DTP, but we'll go back to even before. Timbaland had a label. I don't know if you knew this or not. He had a label called Beat Club and he had Well, but he also had Bubba Sparks.
Speaker 6Yeah, bubba Sparks' first album, deliverance. Yeah, he's getting ugly.
Speaker 2Oh, Dark Days at Night or something.
Speaker 6Something like that yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I don't think I knew. Well, I think I knew of him, but I don't think I think right. And then he had skills uh, who's an underground legend? But all of them were on beat club.
Speaker 6It's like you got all these lyricists that could do stuff and bubba sparks was back, then he could have been like the next eminem, like like the more country version of eminem, because he had bars like he had. Huh yeah, don't let Miss New Booty like Miss New Booty was him trying to get? Oh no, yeah, yeah, trying to get some for the radio, um, but yeah, yeah, he had some bars um, oh yeah, because you've never heard ugly, right?
Speaker 6yeah, yeah yeah, we keep talking about when you said, but now I'm back to DTP. Oh man, poor Shauna. I feel like Shauna should have been bigger, oh bro.
Speaker 2Shauna can rap bro, yeah, I'm like.
Speaker 6Yeah, boy, I think she was Nicki before Nicki.
Speaker 2Well, she didn't have the, the inflections, but just that word play but the fact that she was able to switch like she could do that rapid fire flow but then also have like a slower, smoother and it just sound dope is like it was crazy bro, yeah um, my favorite.
Speaker 6Uh, could have said it would been, but I think he's too cerebral too for the rap game Bars on bars on bars. He's like the side-hider prince of DTP Four Eyes. You already know. He already know Four Eyes.
Dungeon Family and Music Analysis
Speaker 1You know what's crazy. I think I know who you're talking about and I forgot who I was talking to. This was a long time ago and they just said he was I don't know. They said he was a weirdo in person.
Speaker 6I don't know. Probably yeah, I don't really know. Probably. Actually, I used to hang out at the old MJQ Friday nights. I got another one and he would come hang out with the DJs.
Speaker 1Okay, go ahead, All right we're going to have to wrap this up. We're just going to be like five hours, okay, yeah, but.
Speaker 2I'm going to say well, my personal DCP would have to be Field Mom.
Speaker 1I feel like you feel like they should have been bigger.
Speaker 2Bruh, they can really rap like crazy, yeah, and I just feel that I know they was unique with that country joint they could rap.
Speaker 3Yeah, for sure, they really have bars for it.
Speaker 2And I just Luda, you know.
Speaker 1Dropping the ball. What about that battle of the sexes? Anyway, this is probably. I don't know. You may or may not have anybody in this camp.
Speaker 6Oh wait, hold on One more time. This is probably, I don't know. You may or may not have anybody in this camp. Oh wait, hold on One more time. I also think real quick. I also think, oh, you know who he dropped the ball on too, though.
Speaker 3I don't know what happened Maybe we're talking
Speaker 1about Ludacris yeah.
Speaker 6DTP Play it Circles. Play it Circles was part of DTP. Yeah, sharifa was also.
