Speaker 3:You're not in them 50% and all that you feel me. You know how to step in. You know how to step in how you doing, how you doing, sir.
Speaker 1:I'm doing great. I'm still reeling off this Kendrick concert. Shout out to Kendrick Lamar. You owe me nothing, absolutely nothing. That was a great show. Sza, playboy, cardi everybody shout out to shout out to y'all. Y'all, y'all did your thing in that in the Mercedes-Benz stadium. Shout out to y'all. Yeah, I mean so, since we're on the topic, tonight.
Speaker 3:How do you?
Speaker 1:how do you feel? How did you feel the performance was?
Speaker 3:I thought it was great. Man, you know, um, I understand what venues, like you know. Obviously, when you're doing arenas and stadiums, it's not as intimate. You know, and personally you know, I prefer more the intimate concert experience oh, so you prefer the smaller? Smaller yeah the smaller venues you know, as opposed to like the big stadiums.
Speaker 3:However, I will say one plus I guess you could say about the stadiums is that roar of the crowd. That joint was crazy. Me and Tartel, we was driving, we came a little late, we driving in to park and all that. You just hear the outside. I was like damn.
Speaker 1:Best believe that motherfucker was sold out like like I'll show you some clips but yeah, no, that joint was crazy and then and then the roar inside was even crazier because we weren't even at our seats yet. All you hear is we started running, oh man, but yeah, yeah it was, yeah, it was a dope performance.
Speaker 3:And then, especially since I seen Kendrick, like the first concert I seen, kendrick was like 2010, I believe. So that was like when he was just starting, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:That's section eight, section eight, section eight.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that was such a weird concert lineup.
Speaker 1:Can I pause? Oh yeah, Go for for it. What was?
Speaker 2:the very first kendrick song y'all ever heard so that's an interesting story on my part.
Speaker 1:Shout out to my big cousin kevin. Um he, he introduced me to kendrick as k-dot. I didn't even know who he was, but my introduction to to Kendrick was All my Life by J-Rock. I didn't know who he was, so at first J-Rock was the leading act in TDE. Are you familiar with that song All my Life? It's the song with Wayne.
Speaker 1:In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto. I know, I know that song. So for the people that don't know, kendrick is in that video. He's not on the song, apparently. I don't know, I've never heard this version, but apparently there's a version. That's not William, it's actually Kendrick, but I never heard that version. But on the video it's him singing William's part, but William cool I guess Didn't think nothing of it. And then I think, oh and then, j-rock had came out with his next single from that album, follow Me Home. Who Gonna Love it? And who Gonna Love it had Kendrick on it and I was like whoa, who is this? Who is this dude on this second verse? Like this joint, this dude went nuts. And then come to find out kendrick.
Speaker 3:He was kendrick lamar and k dot and all that good stuff yeah, that's how I discovered kendrick lamar I think a similar, a similar situation, um, because I was following j-rock pretty closely and then uh, yeah, then that album came out. I did hear who's gonna love it. It gets a little blurry, though, because I do remember hearing High Power too. You know what I'm saying, so I don't know.
Speaker 1:You don't know if you heard it before.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know what it was. I just remember the buzz over there Because I think that was around the time of the XXL Freshman cover. Yeah, you know. And man, when I tell you, yeah, kendrick went crazy on that. That's why I was like damn like he not so like that whole, like a good majority of that XXL freshman class was already tough. So the fact that Kendrick like was shining like even more, I was like damn like he's a problem.
Speaker 1:That was the year right before I started paying attention or even knew what the double xl freshman list was. I didn't know about that till the year after. That's the one with future and french montana and ngk and all them but um but yeah, shout out to k dot what about you sean, the very first kendrick lamar song that I ever heard.
Speaker 2:I don't remember the name of it, but he was like son, son, fuck that like you know what song I'm talking, don't remember the name of it, but he was like son of a son, fuck that, Fuck that.
Speaker 3:You know what song I'm talking about. What's the name of?
Speaker 2:that song? Damn, I got it. I just remember passing by South of Cab Mall and my southern ass, I was like why does he say that that way? You know what I mean. He say that and I'm like, bro, why does he saying it like that? That shit was just so weird, Fuck Docs. And then he used to emphasize the fuck out of that T Fuck Docs, Fuck Docs. Anyway, that was the very first song I heard by him and I never knew the name of that song. But then I remember the song that actually made me become a fan of Kendrick Lamar wasn't even Kendrick's song, so it was the Maybach music, self-made. I think it was either two or three, Ah two.
Speaker 1:I already know what song you're talking about Power Circle.
Speaker 3:Power Circle, that's a real one for no one to know.
Speaker 1:That's a real one for no one to know. Shout out to you.
Speaker 2:Everybody did their verse. Yeah, yeah, everybody held their own, I'm not going to lie. Everybody did their verse. That's beautiful. Wale came in and did his thing. No, we're going to talk about Rick Ross. He was like something. What did Nick say? He was like the square root of a kid. I'm a motherfucking g nigga. And then, like everybody else, did they think?
Speaker 2:yeah and then, like, while they came and did his verse, meet came next and then look into the eyes of my Bro, kendrick came in on some Eminem shit, bro, literally shred everybody on that. I literally was like bro, what am?
Speaker 3:I.
Speaker 1:They were smart for doing that. They were very smart for doing that, Bro. He literally came on.
Speaker 2:Some Eminem were smart for doing that they were very smart for doing that. They made you wait. He literally came on some Eminem energy lyrically shredding everybody. Was this before the control?
Speaker 3:Yes, it was before.
Speaker 2:All I know is I was like bruh.
Speaker 3:This bruh.
Speaker 2:He left no crumbs on that song bruh.
Speaker 1:Not at all, not at all. Damn. I'm listening to that song again now, damn.
Speaker 3:See, in a way, yeah, part of the reason too that he stood out to me was I remember the double-A surgery he doing his freestyle. You know folks usually do their freestyle or whatever. Yeah, their freestyle, whatever, yeah, he had. You know, you know, like when you had the bullets like in, like a, they like strapped together, yeah, he's like carrying them and he's rapping. He's going like just like going through them one by one while he's rapping, yeah, and I don't know.
Speaker 3:I just thought that was the coldest ever, like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So all I know is when I heard that that self-made, that's it. No, no, power, circle, power, circle bro, just the beat alone bro.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, just that beat alone.
Speaker 2:It's like, bro, this ain't no instrumental you can play with Like bro you have to. You got to come crazy. You got to come with it. Yeah, you got to come with it and it was like dog.
Speaker 3:This is unreal bro Sean, that's fine. So how did you? So you be listening to albums for real man?
Speaker 2:I do because not only am I a consumer, but you know, for the people that don't know, before I was a DJ, I was a producer, beat maker. So you know, I love the creativity of instrumentals and because, like, I was a musician first that's where a musician comes from. So it's like I appreciate the essence of music, I appreciate the, the creativity of the producer, like, like, and especially with big artists like Rick Ross at the time, kendrick and all those, it's like, it's like bruh, in order to be on their beats and be on their albums, you got to come with it. That's a fact. Like, you know, like anybody that knows me knows, just Blaze is my favorite producer. So it's like, like, just Blaze set a standard for me and like, when I first heard Power Circle, it sounded like something Just would do.
Speaker 3:Yeah, honestly, and I commend Ross man Ross always had a great ear for beats.
Speaker 1:Yes, very much so. Yeah, for sure. And Justice League, boy. Anytime I hear Justice League, I'm like yep, I'm finna, stop what I'm doing, you got to.
Speaker 2:It's like they've earned those stripes. Shut up and listen. That's where they finna go.
Speaker 1:Tanaka, would you like to respond to Big Meech?
Speaker 3:He's been going crazy in the group.
Speaker 1:You already know he's talking about Drake. We've been talking about Kendrick Lamar this whole time. You know he a little Drake head. So I will say this, though I'm not going to lie, and I told Tanaka this OK, I want to be a fly on the wall for that concert in Toronto. I don't know, did you know he's going to Toronto? Oh yeah, that is bro. I would want to be a fly on that wall and I'm not going to lie. If he goes there unscathed, nothing happens to his car. I'm not saying I want anything to happen to him or anything that he owns or anything like that, because that's stupid. However, there have been some people that have went to Toronto, tried to pop that Kendrick talk to not like us in the euphoria and got dealt with.
Speaker 2:Man. I remember seeing the video of Rick Ross' security.
Speaker 1:Don't be fucking with me. I was like dog. Dog bro, bro you in enemy territory. Why would you do that?
Speaker 2:And you popping it big.
Speaker 3:Popping it. Come on, I'm sorry, big Meech, I can't agree with you. He's mad. He said if it wasn't for Drake, kendrick wouldn't be as hot as he is right now.
Speaker 2:I can disagree with you, Mr Meech.
Speaker 2:And the reason why, I say I disagree with you, mr Meech, is because, at the end of the day, if you're meant to make it, either you're going to get here one way or another. It just happened to be. Drake did what he did, but you really can't prevent what's meant, dog, that's what I'm saying, man. So I mean you can say that Drake gave him a good light and put a light on him. But either way it go, bro, he still made it that far to the point of Drake seeing him without you know like.
Speaker 2:Bro at the end of the day, you still going to be hard, regardless. Destiny is destiny.
Speaker 1:I mean, if that's the case, why didn't push a t? Why isn't he doing arenas right?
Speaker 2:so at the end of the day, so at the end of the day, at the end of the day, at the end of the day, um, he did what he did you. He had grinding and other songs. What happened to that boy? And blah, blah, blah. But at the end of the day, man, we're going to call a spade a spade. Niggas, don't go to the club to hear lyrics.
Speaker 2:No, you're right, we go to the club to have fun and be ignorant Absolutely. And you know he had his time and he's still going, not saying that he should quit anytime soon. As long as you can breathe and do what you can do, keep doing that shit, but you know.
Speaker 1:No, definitely no, you're not wrong. It's actually interesting you brought that up because I think they're supposed to be dropping a new Clips album.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I mean, look at the date, heat time and temperature. That's now, bro. Can we live with or without them?
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm not going to lie, I was never a real big Clips fan. When Clips was hot I wasn't Like Grinder was cool and what happened to that boy was cool, but it's just, oh my god.
Speaker 2:Y'all didn't got Demetrius started. He said if that's the case, how many times have y'all actually played Kendrick?
Speaker 1:Lamar's music and y'all be set. I mean, and y'all said be fine, okay, well, I would say that, no, no, no, I would say that because you said, because you brought up the point of us playing in the club. The club the swimming pools in the club Did we not play?
Speaker 2:I was playing humble, Playing humble. We played Kendrick songs and Kendrick features in the club. We can be honest yeah Again. At the end of the day, if you hot, you're going to get to that point, regardless of who's there with you or not. You cannot prevent destiny my name Destiny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's facts.
Speaker 3:I feel like it was bound to happen, though, because I feel like that's how it is with hip-hop. You know what I'm saying. It's usually, for each generation or decade, or however you want to chop it up, it's usually one top rapper that really dominates that, and I feel like, eventually, drake and Kendrick for this generation, they was going at some point.
Speaker 1:Kendrick in a sense had to slay the dragon, I mean it happened.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying the same way, how and I'm trying to be as smooth about this as possible Drake had his chest out waiting days. Hey, where you at? Why you ain't drop shit. Talking hot shit, wasn't it Like bruh?
Speaker 1:He was out here looking for it, and once it finally came to the front steps, bruh Hold it Like a cheap suit, like bruh owed it like a cheap suit, like bruh like and what's. And it's funny, I was talking to um.
Speaker 2:And I ain't taking nobody's side because I don't care, neither one of them putting money in my pocket.
Speaker 1:And yeah, that's what I'm saying. So I just call a spade a spade. If, like, if you lost, you lost, like, yeah, you're still a global artist. You are still a global artist, so you can still go international anywhere and perform all your hits and be good. Right, all I'm saying is you let this national ass rapper come out of his fucking Nissan Altima.
Speaker 3:When you got out of your.
Speaker 1:Cybertruck and you got your ass whooped in a fist fight. That's what just happened. You still go back to your Cybertruck and whatever, whatever is in the cyber truck and let him get back in his nissan ultima, but like you still got your ass beat. Like it's called a spade spade, that's, and what's interesting about it. He was like you said. He was just all big bad. Like he was just playing with it. He was goofy as hell. Make that taylor made bullshit. Like he dropped euphoria, he started making the. Isn't this around?
Speaker 2:the time last year when all this shit was going down, like, yeah, euphoria, come out around this time, around the same.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I think Euphoria just came in like a couple of days ago, bruh, bruh.
Speaker 2:And that's funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was. That was a moment. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2:Okay, so what was your favorite song? Euphoria.
Speaker 1:Euphoria, euphoria, euphoria. Like, yeah, euphoria just takes out all of it.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to lie bro. What was that song? Meet the Grams?
Speaker 1:Oh, let's not talk about Meet the Grams.
Speaker 2:Meet the Grams. That shit hit me right here bro.
Speaker 3:That was real serious.
Speaker 1:The only way I can explain meet the grams. For anybody that's never heard meet the grams, it's like surgery without them putting you to sleep Right, like that's what meet the grams was, yeah, very uncomfortable, like he hit every nerve. It was very uncomfortable Purposely. Your son, your mama, your daddy and whoever else and the quote-unquote daughter. I was like. I sat in the garage and I was like what the fuck is happening?
Speaker 2:When he first opened up and said dear Adonis, I was like wait.
Speaker 1:I was like wait, wait, his son, what, what.
Speaker 3:Wait, wait, wait. I was like wait, wait His son. What? What? Wait, wait, wait, wait. The beat, too, was just like that's what I'm saying. Everything is uncomfortable.
Speaker 1:That song is really uncomfortable. Crazy man Like yeah, that shit was nuts. And then he dropped the nuke, which was not like us, and that that took off.
Speaker 2:The fact that Drake said come up with a club here. Oh yeah right, and then he gave you, just that.
Speaker 1:But what's crazier about Not Like Us is the fact that Drake tried to claim bots were the reason why Not Like Us and the reason why I know 100%. Well, obviously there's always going to be a machine behind all these big records, of course, but there is no bots on this. There's nobody just clicking play and not listening to it, and that's it. That's what I think of when I think of bots Niggas just press and play just so they can get a listen, that type of shit. But, nigga, when I tell you I do roller skating, I do karaoke, I do strip club and I do the little wrestling shit and every single different one I got asked for not like us. They asked for not like us the roller rink.
Speaker 1:I'll never forget it Because I was like the first person that asked me to. Ironically, the first person that asked me to was LeBron and I was like wait, you want to hear that? You want to hear that? Really, okay, all right, cool. And ever since then it's been teens, kids, kids are the ones. Hey, can you play Now? Like Us, and I smile and laugh every time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, that's what really like that got me shook. Yeah, when the kids are asking for it.
Speaker 1:it's over with Karaoke. The people come not only to sit to rap it, people come to hear it. Hey, now I don't want to do character, Can you just play it? Can you play Not Like Us, the wrestling?
Speaker 3:joint, one of the wrestlers came up. I was like, hey, oh, my boy, oh you got any requests?
Speaker 1:Oh, hey, bro. Yeah, bro, play that. Not Like Us. Bro, that joint give me hype. Every time I was like god damn and I never would have thought I would have got in the strip club. But I got in the strip club Somebody was like yo hey, here's a 50.
Speaker 2:Play, not Like Us I remember the very first time I heard that line or that specific one A minor Like bro, when I first listened to it and I dissected that I was like bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah it was bad, it was really bad. Yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 2:It was like hell crazy trying to strike a chord and it's probably a minor.
Speaker 1:Yes, just that by itself. That by itself is nuts.
Speaker 3:But musicians all around you don't even.
Speaker 1:I don't even know if you know the punch line of that whole thing, right? So do you know, did you? Did you know what Drake's song is in A minor? What song? Teenage Fever, teenage Fever, y'all. I don't know if y'all knew that or not, but go look it up, drake.
Speaker 2:Teenage Fever is in A minor, sean's dead.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's bad, bad. Yeah. It was bad, like when I when I saw that I was like there's no fucking way and I looked it up and I was like oh my god, yeah, yeah it was, yeah it was bad. Yeah, it was bad, like see that that's.
Speaker 3:But see that bird niggas and bird bitches like bro, what the that whole song?
Speaker 1:yeah that whole just dissection after dissection, after dissection that whole song was like a kids meal.
Speaker 2:Like bro you just, it's always something when you sit there and just bro dog kids meal. Like bro you just, it's always something when you sit there and just bro.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, that's the thing, son. I knew it was real when I, you know, you got the white kids coming up right and you know, you know they usually asking for, like taylor, swift taylor swift katie perry, lady gaga, oh, can we hear? Not like us by Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 2:Yes, and they be looking so sincere.
Speaker 1:Can we play Not Like Us? Can we play Not Like Us?
Speaker 3:That's when I knew it was a problem.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was an issue.
Speaker 3:Y'all don't even be asking for no rap songs. Y'all be on the pop joint for real, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:They ask for the Drake's. Nah, they asked for Drake this time. They asked for the op.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they asked for the op, bro. That shit's crazy, but I mean you can be honest, though, man.
Speaker 2:This ain't nothing new. This whole back and forth between Kendrick and Drake has been going on for a long time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, about a decade plus.
Speaker 2:What was that XXL? Or that Sprite freestyle?
Speaker 1:Hip-hop Wars. It was the Hip-hop Wars Right.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, yep, and you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, that's right Ha ha High five Like right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and what you call it. I don't know if you know the song the Language Drake where he's fucking on platinum. I look at my wrist and it's already platinum. He was talking about Kendrick.
Speaker 2:I didn't know that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, there's a couple lines in the Language where he's talking about.
Speaker 3:Kendrick Wow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what a mess, what a mess, what a mess. Shout out to Jug on the check-in. Shout out to Jug. But yeah, I mean, look, we even flew off the rails already tonight. Do you want to go through?
Speaker 3:the questions you just going to ask to Chum before we got sidetracked. No, it's all good man. Look, we're going to talk about music and that's what we're doing, oh yeah. We'll definitely dive into it. But yeah, sean, go ahead and break it down for the people, man, let them know how you got in the rink. You know what I'm saying. All that good stuff, all right.
Speaker 2:So, long story short, how I got into the rink. I used to work at the rink GoldenGlass, westwood Chapel, man 2008. I used to work at Golden Glide Skate Rink, man. That was back when Mr Greg, the owner of Cascade, used to own. Both Cascade and Golden Glide, used to start out working as a party host. Then they moved me over to the skate rental room.
Speaker 2:I was cool with the DJs up there At the time. I was producing making beats and I was cool with the DJs up there. So you know, at the time I was producing making beats and I was just telling everybody like, hey, bro, check the CD out, man, check out my beats, man, if you like it, put it in your mix. And blah, blah, blah. Shout out to, um, shout out, dj Avalanche, my dog Asher man, he was one of the DJs that gave me a spin. And you know, looked out, there was this DJ named DJ Illusion, christopher Brown, dj Illusion. One day I was working in the skate rental and this was around 08, 09, when Lil Wayne had Lollipop going and I just remember he mixed in my beat with the acapella to Lollipop and I was like, bro, that is so hard, bro. And I just remember, at the end of the session I went ran up DJ Illusion. I was like, bro, you got to teach me how to DJ, bro, that's so hard bro. And it went from him teaching me how to DJ to me actually DJing outside of the skating rink. And then I'll say, like around 20, 22, 23, no 22,.
Speaker 2:I was djing a party. One of my dogs, um keon, uh, he had a birthday party and I'm djing the party. Asher dj avalach just happened to come to the party and he's known that I've been djing but he ain't never heard me dj live. So at this party, you know, asher dj avalanche, he called he. He came up there and peeped me out. He was like hey, bro, I'm gonna rock with you, I'll rock with you. And I just happened to call him in the middle of the club and call him up to the booth. We had like this little miniature. I ain't gonna say battle, but you know I'll play a song.
Speaker 2:He responded like it like bro, it took the party up. So and then at the end of the night you know, before he walked out, he came back up to the DJ booth, got me up and he just gave me that look. He was like I see you. And then, like two days later, he hit me up. He was like hey, bro, what you doing next Friday? I was like shoot, just tell me what time I need to be there, like I don't know where he was talking about.
Speaker 2:I just said just tell me what time to be there. He was like be up at Cascade by 1130. I got there around like 1145 because you know traffic is crazy on 20. But yeah, bro, just went out there, did my thing and he was like, yeah, man, so next Friday I want you up here, bet. So next Friday.
Speaker 3:I want you up here bet. So like 2022, that's an issue, man you know what I mean so yeah, man, nah that's going hard man definitely hard. What got you into producing?
Speaker 2:Just Blaze got me into music production. For those that don't know, or for those that are too young, just Blaze got me into music production. Just Blaze, for those that don't know, or for those that are too young, just Blaze is an up-northen producer. He done produced a lot of songs for you know, the Rockefellers, jay-z's and Kanye's and Dipset's and all them. Not only is you know, not only is Just Blaze a producer, he's a DJ as well. He's also a reason why I got into DJing, but he influenced me as a producer as well Back when I was younger.
Speaker 2:I was born and raised in a Christian home. My mom used to sing in the choir. My dad, he plays bass guitar. He still plays bass guitar to this day. That's fire. Growing up, influenced musically, I learned how to play bass guitar. He still plays bass guitar to this day. So, like you know, growing up, you know, influenced musically, I learned how to play drums, keyboards, a little bit of bass, just like daddy. When learn how to play saxophone and band like I literally got into this music. That's why my name is musician, right? So it just pretty much describes who I am and what I am. You know what I'm saying. So it just went from playing live instruments to making beats, to engineering, to dj, so it's like a full progression and your producer man.
Speaker 3:It was musician it's musician.
Speaker 2:Once I became a DJ, I just DJ nah that's dope.
Speaker 3:That's dope that you had that from the jump.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah oh, you can curse shit, fuck it, but yeah cause how many you had did you have a lot of different DJ names, bro? I had one DJ name, you had one, that was it it took me a little while to get to Tanaka.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying, because at first they were calling me by my first name, type joint. So they was like DJ Brent, you know what I'm saying. And that was just little kickbacks and stuff. And then I eventually got to Tanaka. You know what I'm saying. Before that it was C-Town B, but that was like too complicated, yeah. And then, like that's when I was like you know what, let me just use my last name. Hey man, that's hard bro, that's history. But then my partner was like, from the west side he was like, and I ain't gonna lie now, you know it's, it's a little difficult what's black folk to say your name, bro, like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:But then yeah, especially if they don't know you, because, boy, there's been a couple. I remember when he first got into the skate world he like bro, you know who are bruh, that, tanika, I knew it, I was really about to say I knew it, I knew it.
Speaker 2:I was really about to say I feel a tannic of coming.
Speaker 1:I mean tannic. I was like no.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah. So, but that's when and then we had like a live. I think it was like me turn up drip, we just on live, like just talking, we just random or whatever. Yeah, and that's when I was telling, that's when he was in Vegas, right, yeah, I was like I need a job bro. He's like, oh yeah, I'm going to give you a job. Hey, it's DJ Knock Knock or something like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've always wondered where did I get Knocked?
Speaker 3:from yeah, that was bad.
Speaker 2:I heard somebody say it.
Speaker 1:And he swore that was the dumbest shit ever he hated it. Yeah, I ain't going to lie I didn first because I was like and I and it was funny, I thought it was more one of those things where it's like you take, you take, you take a negative and turn it to a positive. That's why I thought that's awesome, right, I was like, not it actually.
Speaker 3:I feel like there's nothing wrong with it I feel like this shit hard right, so, but yeah, the rest of history. Jerk gave me that and then how many knock-knock jokes? There not even a lot I ain't gonna care. They just you know what I'm saying. But, uh, it, definitely, you know. Definitely it's easier for the folk to pronounce, yeah, definitely, yeah, I heard it all taka, tanka, tanaka you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I've heard music. I've heard music it's literally.
Speaker 1:It's literally musician okay.
Speaker 2:So the way I feel like M-U-Z-I yeah. So some people say musician. I've heard music, sean.
Speaker 1:It's literally music. It's literally musician. How have you not heard musician? Get out the house, please. Whoever's calling him musician, like. Come on, people don't read bro I see, I see music sean.
Speaker 2:I've heard music sean. Where do you see us? C or k? I've heard muzzy sean. I've heard you, sean, like. I've heard so many remixes to my name. That's why I just keep it simple my name's Sean, bro. You can say either Musician or just say DJ Sean, right, right, right. Just as long as you say Sean, that's all that matters. Does anybody call?
Speaker 1:you Music, if you say that I'm purposely ignoring you.
Speaker 2:If you say that I'm purposely ignore it. If you say that on purpose you ignore it, I'll be like Nah for real.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, that's crazy Like I don't know. It's literally a musician.
Speaker 2:That's it, hey man, listen, my secret weapon is I know that people are slow, so when you come to grasp that people can be slow. It doesn't bother me, I can respect that. Yeah, I mean, it's just like obviously this person didn't read the name long enough or they just zoomed by, but I.
Speaker 1:Well, hold on. This is going to be an off-topic question. It's not going to be about music or anything, but I just had to ask, speaking of not reading, because I definitely read this every time I go on Musician's page. I see that one question. Did the Lakers win. Hey man, sean, can you please give me the backstory on how this has become a reoccurring thing on the DJ Musician Instagram page?
Speaker 1:Because that shit gets me every time, because, I never expect it because I don't watch basketball, so like I'm just scrolling and then I see it Did the Lakers win.
Speaker 2:And he's asking y'all the same question the day after they got eliminated For the record For the record Right. All you hear is did the Lakers win?
Speaker 1:And then Money's going to be writing you a check, boy. God damn as many times as I've been doing that I've been doing that since 2019.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, Faithfully, those two combined, just like that. If you see the Lakers win, you should know by now what's following. Oh my God, bro, I just every time, it gets me every time Like bro.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. You said that because I just saw it on the note, bro.
Speaker 1:I literally see it every time and it punches me in the gut every time Because I'll be at work or I'll be at home just doing nothing that has anything to do with the Lakers or TV or anything, and I'm just and I just hear that and I see it Every time. So what is this animosity you got towards the lady?
Speaker 3:Where did this start from man? What's the origin?
Speaker 1:Let's do it when it was your lady.
Speaker 2:Nah brother, hey man, listen, I'm over the silence. Rest in peace my dog Kobe bro. Long live, kobe.
Speaker 1:Rest in peace my dog Kobe bro. Long live Kobe man For real.
Speaker 2:Like the greatest since the greatest. So that's my opinion. Like Kobe is my goat. Everybody got their own goat. Kobe is my goat Right. But, like a lot of people are quick to assume that I hate Braun, a lot of people are quick to assume that I hate Braun. A lot of people are quick to assume that I hate Braun. And, at the end of the day, in order for me to hate you, that means I gotta care.
Speaker 2:I don't care at all, but my main thing is we know how the media is. Whenever LeBron and his team win, braun gets all the credit. Whenever the team loses, everybody else gets the blame but him. But Brian, oh, okay. So my thing is when they win, you hear about it everywhere, right, but when they lose, it's quiet Quickness. So it's like keep that same energy, right, like it's quiet the next morning. So I'm like did Lakers win? You dig what I'm saying? Keep that same energy. If y'all going to be loud when he win or when they win, be loud or the same. You know what I mean. Keep it balanced.
Speaker 2:Keep it balanced, right Don't be quiet, like that game just didn't happen. You dig what I'm saying. So, at one point, pretty much when Kobe retired, I retired with him, got you? I'm going to be honest as hell, bro. I was working at Ikea. What year was this? 2017? Either 2017 or 2018. And when Brian came over to the Lakers although I retired him, I was mad Because I'm like bro, like he don't need to be over there.
Speaker 1:So okay, so at the time, the time okay. So this is hypothetical right. So if so, at the time, if lebron didn't go, I guess who would have been the? Who would have been the saving grace at that time for the lakers?
Speaker 2:I mean, is he the?
Speaker 1:saving grace now. Oh, I don't know. I look, I don't like basketball, so I don't know. Oh, apparently not, apparently not. Did the Lakers win? I?
Speaker 3:mean they won one, didn't they?
Speaker 1:Or two? Do we care about the bubble game? I don't watch basketball.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying, I'm asking, I'm asking on the outside. They have not won a real championship since Kobe's last championship.
Speaker 1:That was when was that? You see how far?
Speaker 2:I made it. That's my point. So again, for clarity and for the people that are watching, I don't hate brown like the person I can rock with right, right, it's a whole different story like when you, when the lights is on, it's like it this way for him to be the chosen one, and all these other names they give him. Oh, bro, and it's 6'9" and 1,700 pounds and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and it's like, like, why are you flopping across the floor in this tiniest touch?
Speaker 1:So, it's like Isn't that just the rules now, like, like. Don't they, like kind of have to do that? I, like I said, I don't really watch basketball, but I do know that it's. It's it's portrayed to the outside world that it's a lot softer than it is.
Speaker 2:It's definitely a lot softer. It's a definite difference of physicality nowadays. Bro, my thing is if you if whether it's yourself or people build up anticipation about you, I want to see that potential all the way through. So when I see people like Kobe, mike and other people, magic and Larry Bird and other folks, when I see other people accomplish more with less and what you're doing, I'm not impressed. Yeah, I can understand If you're the greatest greatest, why the hell do you need so much help all the time? Every year you lose. We don't need to get into this whole luca coming over. And now they lost like. And no offense to his son, bruh, I'm glad that you know. We got a chance to see father and son play on the same team same time, but low key. That was a waste of a roster. Somebody else could have used his spot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I heard he's pretty.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't follow basketball.
Speaker 2:Somebody else earlier this week was like they losing, but they secret weapon is Bronny. Watch Bronny come out and this whole series turn around Make us win.
Speaker 1:Like I was about to press that I was going. I was like that was premature, but my thing is it's just like bro.
Speaker 2:I understand as a father you want to make sure things happen, especially if you have the pool and the plugs to do it, but you know, at the end of the day, what it is is just again like he's great but I've seen greater Big Mitch is asking so does LeBron not impress you? Lebron has disappointed me several times. Steph impresses me, who else?
Speaker 3:Kyrie impresses me. You feel like he got that platform and that position. He has to deliver on the potential. That's basically what you feel, and you feel like he hasn't delivered on the potential.
Speaker 2:He's delivered in his own way, but you don't like that way again, when I've seen other people accomplish more with less, it's like that standard is high right yeah, but okay, but is he with the new climate that they're in?
Speaker 1:are they? Is he able to still do that, since he's able to do whatever he wants?
Speaker 2:Honestly, let me ask y'all both this question Meach, you can hop in if you want to. What's more important Longevity or efficiency? Do you want somebody with longevity or do you want somebody that's efficient? We don't care about he's 40, because that's always the thing that they say when he wins oh my gosh, he's 40 doing this, but then when he loses, bro come on, he's 40. So, like we're not going to use age because he's been doing the same thing all these, what? 22, 23, 24 years?
Speaker 2:Yeah, something like that, Something like that. So age, bro. If y'all want to keep using age 40, tell them to leave.
Speaker 3:Jugg said efficiency, jugg said efficiency.
Speaker 2:You dig what I'm saying when I see people accomplish more with less. Look at what Kobe did with and without Shaq?
Speaker 1:Okay, but that's what I'm asking too, because, like I said, I don't like basketball. But what I'm saying is so, like you keep comparing the Michaels and all that type stuff, but at the same time, is he able to reach that potential that you say, or whatever, if it's different rules, like they can't do the same thing, type shit.
Speaker 2:They do it differently and they do it, they do it. How do I answer this? Re-ask that question again.
Speaker 1:So I don't know. It seemed like back in the day they were a lot harder and they were a lot softer nowadays. So like I feel, like it's not which works to hit which works to lebron james's longevity case?
Speaker 2:yeah, it does, because back then they were more physical. Yeah, and after you get your ass beat for a certain amount of time, it's like, bro, my body can't yeah, my body can't do this thing right.
Speaker 2:So now, as soon as you touch brun, so it's like all right. So now, since they're not really touching me like that, I could be in a little bit longer, right? Besides, if they're paying like I don't know how much Brian gets paid, but just we need to say he's amongst one of the top people highest paid people playing basketball, plus all the other endorsements and stuff Like again, I ain't pocket watching, but I'm just saying. I know the nigga getting paid a lot.
Speaker 1:I would think so.
Speaker 2:If you're getting paid this much, I'm expecting you to deliver this much or more you dig. I feel that, and again I've seen people do more with less.
Speaker 1:I guess that makes sense. I guess that makes sense because, like you said, if they whooping each other's ass, then yeah you're not going to have one Flopped in my 100th.
Speaker 2:What's the point of doing all this working out and talking about I could be a football player. I'm a football player.
Speaker 1:No, I'm not going to lie. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2:If you that strong, be strong. But anyway I'll be, my dog, kobe. That's my goat. Whoever's your goat, that's your business, bro. But I'm just saying before I would speak negatively or speak down on somebody, I give everybody a fair chance and opportunity, but if I'm not impressed, I'm not impressed, and at that point it is what it is.
Speaker 3:Nah, I give it to you on the age thing though, because it's like, bro, I look at you on that court, bro, it's like you got a job to do. I'm not trying to give these excuses like you, this, you that If you were on that court, you came to play bro. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:That's what they always point out about Brian in comparison to Kobe and Mike. Kobe and Mike was out there to bite your head off. It's a video that's going around from earlier this week. The Timberwolves were leading, I think, 3-1 or 3-4. And the Lakers are losing horribly and LeBron and Anthony Edwards they over there, LeBron, over there, just kiki-ing and ha-ha-ing with the opposition. I'm like bro Kobe and them would not be over there laughing. Bro, they over here to beat your ass.
Speaker 3:Yeah, especially not Kobe. They would have been in that mode. Like load management and all that extra, kobe, they would have been in that mode.
Speaker 2:Load management and all that extra stuff. Man, kobe and Mike wasn't trying to hear all that. I understand, at the end of the day, bruin going to do what everyone do because he knows he has that power. Bruin has power. We all know that. Look at all the people he done got fired and kicked off his team. I've never seen Michael or Kobe walk off the court, even if they had three seconds left in the game. They're going to take advantage of every second they got like. That's a fact. So it's just. And then, at the end of the day, if you're the captain of your team, how does, how would that make you feel the captain of your team, walking off while you're still out there on the field?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah that could be discouraging very certain yeah, captain, walking away, because like that's, that's like low-key, demoralizing, everything like but he giving up.
Speaker 2:So I mean shoot. I might be like nah bro yeah nah, leaders league right now, unless we're all walking off at the same time.
Speaker 3:Nah, bro nah, I feel it because I was the same way. That's why, when I played basketball, bro, like we playing to that buzzer at the, it tells all zeros on the, on the school. I don't care how many points we down, bro, I'm gonna be balling to the end.
Speaker 2:When I was in marching man, let my section leader or the drum majors walk off. We're all walking with them Like, bro, this ain't just about you, this is about the team, right, I don't know. That's why I go hard for Kobe the way I go hard for him, bro, like I seen LeBron cramp up and that was it. I seen kobe break his, break his fingers achilles and that finger was crazy like like, pop his arm back in it's still out there going bro like yo.
Speaker 2:We're no excuse with him, you're right, no excuse with man. Listen, she's gone. Bro like this gets heated for me because I really ride hard for Kobe bro so again when I've seen an example set, anything under that example does not matter to me.
Speaker 3:Right, it is a disappointment or disregard absolutely you did, especially with the discussions that be going on though you know what I'm saying because they want to talk about how great you know what I'm saying lebron is and hold him to that, that type of standard, and so you know like I've I've seen in plenty of bronze sexual comments keyword bronze sexual.
Speaker 2:I've seen in those comments I've seen some people say literally Kobe is I mean not Kobe Braun is the top two Laker of all time.
Speaker 3:So you're telling me that he's better than Kobe Magic Shaq Jerry. West, like bro Right, it's a long list, it's a long list.
Speaker 2:I was going to say that Like bro, how is he up there when he's never even had a three-peat? Like bro, we don't got to. We can change subjects.
Speaker 1:My name is Sean AKA.
Speaker 2:Musician. I'm from Stone Mountain. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:What's happening, sean? Sean, my next question, my next question. I got to ask you this because I know, sean, you be standing on it. Yeah, the request. When did this start with the?
Speaker 1:request when did this start?
Speaker 3:with the request.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to talk about something I feel like, hey, it's about TI. This is how I feel like, hey, it's about TI.
Speaker 3:Hey man, Let me just start with a request, sean. Like has this always been a thing Like from the jump? When you came in this DJ thing, like look how bad you want to hear the song, and you know what I'm saying. No requests, otherwise TI.
Speaker 2:So I'm not going to share with the viewers myself, right, right. But you know, all of us DJs go through it. Hey, dj, can you play this? Can you play this? Can you take requests? I don't mind taking requests, right. But my main thing is what people don't know and I'm sharing it from a DJ's perspective. Right, we don't mind taking requests. But, first off, we're DJs, we're not iPods, right, we're not jukeboxes, so you can't just expect us to go to the next song. Second, why we don't mind taking requests most of the songs that y'all request don't go with the vibe that's actually going on. So, for example, let's say we're playing, let's say we're playing, go out a song, go out a song, any song. Yeah Glow, yeah Glow. So we got yeah Glow playing and a person come out of nowhere saying hey, dj, sean, can you drop that? Taylor Swift, we got this whole party going on. Yeah Glo and the song that you're asking me to play yeah Glo, you want me to kill this entire party for your song, right?
Speaker 3:That we worked hard to build to get to this point now. It takes time to build up to these heights, yeah.
Speaker 2:So my main thing is one I don't know the song that you're about to come ask me for, and then, second, whether it's a good song or not, you're expecting me to clear out this entire atmosphere, Right For you. For you, my thing is one I don't work for free, so if you're asking me to do something for you, the least you can do is pay me for my work for you. Second what up, Drip, what up?
Speaker 3:boy, what up Drip?
Speaker 2:Hey man, real talk man. Hey, my dog, Daddy boy, no, but for real, my main thing is I don't work for free. So even if you're asking me for one song, bro, you're asking me to do some work for you. And then, second, what people don't realize is, once the DJ takes this person's request, that person is going to be like hey, he took his request Right, Let me go up there.
Speaker 3:Open up the gates.
Speaker 2:Right, right, leave me alone, bro. Like, at the end of the day, that I'm gonna get around to this song. And if you don't trust that I get around to this song, leave me alone, bro. Right, but like, my main thing is again, if you want me to take a request, this request is a risk. Now, right, so if you want me to take a risk for you, you are going to pay me for that risk, because if this song that you're requesting does not go with this crowd, they don't know that you requested. They just know DJ Sean played that song.
Speaker 2:And now the song that I just played clears out the whole crowd. And now I'm on Instagram the next day, bro, what the fuck?
Speaker 3:is this nigga playing?
Speaker 2:So, like, pay me for my risk. Right, Drip up there talking about I play Miley Cyrus, bro. We know you play Miley Cyrus, huh, but yeah, like that's I mean. But again, my main thing is it ain't about trying to jug you or cap you out your money. My main thing is how badly do you want to hear this song? And if you want to hear that badly, you're willing to pay for it. If you're not willing to pay for it, then you really don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1:So Meech says so how much did you have to pay a DJ for the DJ to stop what he's playing and drop your request?
Speaker 2:I don't ask DJs. And second, if I'm cool with a DJ shoot, if he choose to play, he going to play. If not, it's cool yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't go up to it, Me personally. I don't go up to DJs and ask for requests.
Speaker 2:Right At the end of the day, again, it's trusting the DJ to do his job. Yeah.
Speaker 1:If I'm requesting a song, it's definitely coming with some dollar bills right behind it. If I'm requesting a song, I really want to hear that song, obviously.
Speaker 2:If I really want to hear it, I don't mind. Hey bro, here's some thank you money. Drop this for me. Nah, for sure I'm not, finna. Come on some lowball. And hey bro, you want a drink? Hey bro, fold me bro, hey, fold. And hey bro, you want a drink? Hey bro, follow me bro. Hey, fool me bro. Oh, my god, that fucking shit gets me. And and I'm speaking from, I'm speaking from the skating rink perspective. Now, if we're talking about djing in the club, oh yes, bro, you really, finna, pay me something. You really, finna, pay me something. You know what I mean, because niggas be like hey bro, I be rapping, oh, that's not, that's a whole. Not, oh, that's a whole another monster.
Speaker 1:That's a whole another monster. That's a whole another monster.
Speaker 2:I just said, this is the skate rink. Yeah, we open up this club discussion.
Speaker 1:Nah because, I ain't going to lie, there do be people that be. There, do be the indie artists that be coming at the skate rink, like they be like hey bro, I play music. There will be the indie artists that will be coming at the skating rink. They'll be like hey bro, I play music, I make music, bro, like okay cool, you still got it.
Speaker 2:And then the next thing. Let me take it a step further.
Speaker 2:Let's take it a step further Staying inside the skating rink, right, right. So, whether it's a kid or a daughter, teenager, whatever you come I sit here and I ask you is it clean? You know it's not clean, you know it's not clean. But then you're going to sit there and be like, uh, I think so. And then I sit there and I look at you Are you sure this is clean? Bro man, you only got one cuss word. I am not going to miss out on it. I'm not going to lose my check and my position for one customer. One customer, Right.
Speaker 1:And it be pussy nigga Right. And it be when a beat drop too. It's always something crazy.
Speaker 2:And then knowing the skating rink that we're at and the managers and the owner. Don't play around. Well, if you say ffff too long, right. Well, if you say too long Right?
Speaker 1:Hey, remember we played drip song scammer at the joint. Yeah, avalanche was like yeah, turn this off Like Brian's clean.
Speaker 2:Like Brian's clean. He was like no Avalanche shut that shit down.
Speaker 1:I was like, okay, I was like Drip was the one that made the clean version. But um, I was like Drip was the one that made the clean version.
Speaker 2:But um, Like y'all know it's dirty, bro, you ain't got lots of it, bro. Now, if I rock with it hard enough, if I'm able to clean it the next week, then shoot, Come back.
Speaker 1:My main thing is again if you want to hear that bad, Sean, let me ask you this has there ever been a song where you're at a clean session that you wanted to play? So bad you ain't got clean and you were like you know what, let me just. I'm going to just do it live. I am not fucking up my song. Or no song, bro, I don't know. That's why I asked Is there a song that you're like? Damn, I got to play this song, so you're like doing it live. You gotta play the song, so you're like doing it live like. You're like editing it, you're editing it live.
Speaker 2:I have to know that song by heart to do it.
Speaker 2:I can but if it's bad we know, drip, drip, we know if you're fucking around, you should play the song and not edit it. But, like, if I want to hear that song, that damn bad bro, I would just clean it. I can wait another week. Yeah, like, the skating rink gonna be here the next seven days, bro, y'all will get this on Right, even if I'm not doing it for y'all and I'm doing it for me, bro, it can wait, bro, and trust and believe, if I don't play it tonight and I have to clean it and play it next week, I'm going to drop it so hard.
Speaker 2:You dig what I'm saying. So, like, again, man, at the end of the day, you know, I just I think before I do things, because, again, what may be a little deal to you could be a big deal to somebody else, and you never know who's in the crowd listening to you. That may go back and snitch to the manager hey, man, I know all the word. I know it was just the word damn, but they said damn nine times in the song, and my daughter is right here listening to this.
Speaker 2:So it's like you never know who's in the crowd. I ain't risking nothing.
Speaker 1:You know what's crazy. That's why I have not touched what the hell he is in this game.
Speaker 2:I would never play that song, and no disrespect to Rob 49. What's his name? Rob 49. Yeah, nah, bro. I mean, the very first song I heard by Rob 49 was that E-E-E-E-E.
Speaker 3:I was like bro, that Vulture. Island. Yeah, bro, that.
Speaker 2:Vulture Island.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bruh that.
Speaker 2:Voltron yeah, bruh, I was like dog, like that was the only reason why I even listened to that song E-E, e-e, e-e. I was like, bruh, my head hurt, right, but yeah, man, I'm good on that song. Yeah, like, I'll be honest with you, the only reason why I play Wham Whammy is because of him.
Speaker 1:Bro, I was like Sean, you better play it for it, for it to explode, yeah.
Speaker 2:And literally the next day. I heard it all day.
Speaker 1:Shout out to DJ Nick he's the one that put me on. He played that shit at Skate Town.

Speaker 2:Motown. Are they back together?
Speaker 3:Yeah, they fixed it. I feel like they was going to fix it, though they realized, you know, realized they really wasn't beefing about that.
Speaker 1:But yeah, anyway, Motown.
Speaker 2:Motown.
Speaker 1:Motown is the one that signed Pluto. I'm like that's a very interesting. I mean, look a check's, a check, I ain't mad at it. Go get your check Pluto, but Motown, this is very interesting.
Speaker 2:I don't know, man, but we all know future is Pluto bro.
Speaker 3:So it's like that is the point.
Speaker 1:So like I don't know, man, do you think Future cares?
Speaker 3:I feel, like.
Speaker 2:Future don't give a fuck. Future don't.
Speaker 1:He still got Future Hendrix. You know all that other wizard.
Speaker 2:Fire Marshal, wizard, but nobody was saying Pluto before him. Ohhal, wizard, all that, yeah, I don't think he cares, but nobody was saying Pluto before him.
Speaker 1:Oh no, you're not wrong. No, you're definitely not wrong about that, but I don't think. I don't think about the future. Future's such a troll, he don't care, he don't give a shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, at all, and he's so cool about it too, like alright, whatever. Yeah, and pushing 50, bro.
Speaker 1:Future's been around for a very long time.

Speaker 1:But yeah, Shout out to the Dungeon family, but um Young.
Speaker 2:Meathead.
Speaker 3:Young Meathead.
Speaker 2:Meathead.
Speaker 3:Young Meathead. But Tanaka, you got this question of the day. Well, he touched on that briefly. You know how it just plays, but I guess we'll just ask you, sean, what are? What are some of your favorite producers, man, if you could give us a top five producers.
Speaker 2:My top five. You know what I'm saying my top five in no particular order. No order, yeah, no order.
Speaker 3:Top five Just Blaze.
Speaker 2:Metro Boomin'. No Drip, I'm not DJing tonight. Oh yeah, Top five Just Blaze, Metro Boomin.
Speaker 1:No Drip, I'm not DJing tonight. Oh yeah, I'm DJing. Come on, yeah, or today, yeah, I am DJing tonight.
Speaker 2:If you open it, I gotta get the first one, alright. So I'm gonna say Just Blaze, just Blaze, metro Boomin for the young niggas. When I first heard Karate Chop 2012, when he dropped Karate Chop, I was like that beat is so fucking hard. Alright, bruh, remember. Anyway, just Blaze, metro Boomin'. Justice League, timberland. And it's hard between Kanye and Dr Dre. I feel that it's real hard between Kanye and Dr. Dre, because that very first time I heard Forgot About Dre with Eminem and Dr.
Speaker 2:Dre that was like one of the first beats. I learned how to play on keyboard and I was like bro, that shit is so fucking hard. It is. Kanye was more impactful to me, bro. I feel that, but I'll give it to Dr Dre.
Speaker 1:I'll give it to Dre, because he ain't the one who left me.
Speaker 2:We're just talking about production-wise, not personally.
Speaker 1:No, even with the production, I ain't going to lie Brother and anybody that knows, turn Up. I ain't going to lie. That Yeezus shit was garbage to me. That shit was just garbage. I was like Kanye, what are we doing right now? Like what is happening right now? He don't fuck it up for me even more. He dropped that on my birthday, oh, and I was like, I was happy. I was, I was like oh, this new, new, yay, yeah, and I heard that first track. Do you know? The first track is on eases. You ever heard eases?
Speaker 2:yeah exactly you know what? Let me, let me, let me you know what I'm gonna be honest talk about I'm gonna, I'm, I'm going to replace, so I'm going to take out Metro. I'm going to give it to Zay, because if it wasn't for Zay, oh, you said that because Drew said that, no, no, if it wasn't for Zay, there wouldn't be no Metro. If it wasn't for Zay, there wouldn't be no Metro.
Speaker 1:Okay, I mean, I can buy that, I can buy that. No, zay's definitely up there with me, don't mind him over there He'll. I'm not gonna lie For me. It took a little minute for me to like If you wanted for Zay, it would be no Metro.
Speaker 2:And Zay Tovin is an actual musician. Yes, he's definitely a musician, he plays every week at his church bro. Yeah, no, he's definitely a real musician. Just off the name Zaytoven, bro, Just off the name Zaytoven. We know that's a play off of Beethoven, just like with my name, musician, that's a play off of musician.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So when I found out that he made I think it was papers for Usher, I was like, oh yeah, he's gonna yeah, yeah, that's nuts like to go from gucci to usher is like crazy to me, bro, like you really did a whole crossover in front of us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so yeah, like I just remember watching zay tovin. Uh, what's that song? Uh, first day out, right first day out, I started on my day with a blunt of purpose. Zaytoven and Gucci had that Tiny Desk concert, tiny.
Speaker 1:Desk Tiny Desk concert. I think I did see that yeah.
Speaker 2:And the way how Zay was playing them keys, bro, Extremely hypnotic. I'm like bro, this nigga is taking us to church at the Tiny Desk concert, bro, pico, pico, that's a good one, that's a good one. Drip, yeah, pico, it's just his keymanship, bro, how he goes on the keys bro.
Speaker 3:He does it just so Effortlessly.
Speaker 1:Effortlessly, bro. It's like bro, he don't even flex. He just I effortlessly. It's like bro, he don't even flex. I ain't gonna lie low-key discouraged. But again he plays for his church so he does this every week. It's a reflex at this point Right.
Speaker 2:So it's like again, all due respect to Metro, but it's just. I've not seen Metro play live.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I've never seen Metro play live and I'm not gonna lie, not saying that Metro isn't a good producer in my head, but I'm not gonna lie. I didn't see him, I didn't hear him go hard, hard, until this last. This we Never Liked. You Right, the way he put his foot in them beats that scene at all, that scene at all. You right, the way he put his foot in them beats that arm. That's seen it all with. That's seen it all day. That quiet storm, right, oh my god, yeah, that that shit is nuts man. Well, um, tanaka, who would you, who would you say it's our five?
Speaker 3:um, I gotta put a.
Speaker 1:I got to put.
Speaker 3:Dre in there, because Dre, oh, I'm straight, dre wouldn't unfold that, I just, I just his beats be hitting differently. You know what I'm saying. I could tell that, like he really he's very sonically.
Speaker 3:Man, like it's just on a different level. You know what I'm saying. Like I don't know, it's just just very precise. The way that it's mastered, engineered, like all of that is like you can tell there's a lot of attention, detail, you know, I respect it. Yeah, I respect it. Um, let me see, I gotta put just blaze, because, yeah, just blaze was definitely like. I mean, I love rockeeller, you know what I'm saying. I remember hearing his drop, you know, because he had that high-rising synth too. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2:That's what everybody got that shit from bro.
Speaker 3:Let me see, that's two.
Speaker 2:Drummer Boy got that shit from Jess Blade.
Speaker 3:Yeah, boy, I swear Drum A Boy. Look like Slim Dunn and I respect Drum A Boy. Rest in peace man as long as it's Dunn. Let me see who else in there.
Speaker 2:So Dre Jess.
Speaker 3:I got to put Ye in there. Ye, for sure, I put Drummer Boy. I actually did Drummer Boy's production. You know what I'm saying. Part of the reason why I liked it is because he also I seen another side to him, because he had did here I Am with Rick Ross and Nelly. He did that. He did that. That's why I'm saying that's why, yeah, that's why Drummer Boy like I feel like he. I don't think he got the full opportunity to get in that bag of live instrumentation and all that, but he's capable of doing it. You know what I'm saying? Because I remember he did a record, I believe, with Michele, a singer who was on Grand Hustle, and that's one of my like R&B records. You know what I'm saying. That's like a record that, unless you was like, really focused on Grand Hustle and like around that time period.
Speaker 2:He did that. My Life, your Entertainment, with.
Speaker 3:Usher, yeah, so, and then he also had that ready for whatever ready for whatever, yeah, and that I don't know that that beat just dude, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying. Um, let me see how let me see how? Who I got, I got. I said you made my harder beat than I put on.
Speaker 2:Uh that, uh, that he did. I put on was so hard. What's the beat by drummer boy? That's harder than I put on I f.
Speaker 3:What would have was happening. You know what I'm saying, so you know that that's. That's harder than I put on. I have what's happening. You know what I'm saying. That's me personally. Yeah, I don't know. They both tough to me, though. Did you have what's happening? Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I put on.
Speaker 3:That touched your soul, bro. I don't know, it was just Nah that put on a brain.
Speaker 2:That, bro, that touched your soul, bro.
Speaker 3:That's so.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's one of those situations where, like you said, you couldn't avoid destiny. That beat the song, just everything. I gotta pull this up, bro. It was meant to go to the top.
Speaker 3:But let me see, I got who. I said dre, just uh, yay, german boy, oh yeah the last one. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna say dj, dj's one of my favorites. Some go crazy bro, that's one of my favorites personally, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, man, I done heard Tune on some hip hop.
Speaker 2:And some R&B.
Speaker 3:Bruh, you know what?
Speaker 2:I'm saying I gotta find. I definitely have to find this, because what Drummer Boy did like the way how he broke it down, the way he broke down? I put on for the city. I'm legendary bro. I'll find it. But we can continue on with the podcast bro.
Speaker 1:Turn up who you got man, dre, I'm going to go with Dre. I'm biased, that's fair. Dre, quick, kanye, damn, I just had him Zaytoven.
Speaker 3:Who gets that last spot?
Speaker 1:Oh, I did have him.
Speaker 3:Would I go? Mike Will, that's a good one. I forgot about Mike Will.
Speaker 1:I think I'll go, mike Will.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Mike Will definitely yeah.
Speaker 2:I found it. We're going to run back to the drum board right quick. It's like scoring. That could be in a movie or something.
Speaker 3:And I'm like Get it right, be in a movie or something and I'm like that right there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's, that's.
Speaker 3:Nah, that's you know what I'm saying, just to give you the feel it's like scoring.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not. See, when you get background like that, that kind of puts it in perspective, so I get it. Yeah, see, when you get background like that, that kind of puts it in perspective, so like I get it With those with that, yeah, yeah. So Jug said his would be Just Blaze. Lex Luger, timbaland Metro and Ye.
Speaker 2:Lex Luger had a run, but then when everybody started picking up his sound kit, everything just sounded the same. I remember because I was still making beats at that time Everybody had that same snare.
Speaker 1:That too.
Speaker 2:And then you remember how Lex Luger used to have that triplet. Like everybody ran that triplet into the ground.
Speaker 1:Into the ground. Drip, said Mustard Zay, metro Weezy and Brian Cox, oh wow.
Speaker 3:Oh, he know about Brian Cox. Right that, brian Cox at the end. I respect that though.
Speaker 1:No, I know it's just Mustard Zay, metro Weezy and Brian Cox.

Speaker 2:This is early future. Yeah, it sounds like.
Speaker 1:Pluto this definitely sounds like Pluto future. No, it's before then. It's before then. It was like Dirty Sprite.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Ooh, okay, now I know this song Ball Forever.
Speaker 2:I'm a ball forever Ice in the Mediterranean.
Speaker 1:Sea.
Speaker 2:That's all. It's always something about that I ain't got to touch it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's the way he said it. It was the way he said it and I'm like that's why I'm looking.
Speaker 2:I'm like bro, I know that. Yeah, make twin bands up, man, that's that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, make Twin Bands a man game. Dude, ball Forever. I heard Ball Forever.
Speaker 2:When did I hear Ball Forever?
Speaker 1:I feel like that was one of the songs we just heard in the club. He was popping and Ball Forever was just one of the ones that was killing the club. It was crazy, no for real, bro.
Speaker 3:What about you, Sean? What was the first time you heard?
Speaker 2:first time I heard Bafa Elvin shout out my dog, my OG, dj Sizzle. He was the person that introduced me to DJ Cutthroat, cutthroat, he's the guy over. I love my club shout out Cutthroat man and I heard your story.
Speaker 1:Shout out to Cutthroat.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you know I heard your story, no, but so every Tuesday over there on Memorial Drive used to be this bar called Doogie's, and shout out my dog, my Trans man. Every Tuesday was $2 Tuesday and we used to have them big pictures of the blue motherfuckers. I got so many stories behind blue motherfuckers. You remember them, blue motherfuckers. So, anyway, dj Sizzle helped bring me into I Love my Plug, but I just remember this was around time, future just came out. Him and another plug, dj. His name is DJ sniper.
Speaker 2:They used to play ball forever all the time, and like it's it, of course, from Stone Mountain, this guy named DJ, pretty boy tank. Like Boy Tank I rock with. I look up to him. I don't know personal shit, but as a DJ I look up to him. Him and DJ Monte influenced me and so I just remember Sizzle and Tank were the two main DJs that I knew played that song a lot and I followed Tank on Twitter when it was like hot back then, for sure, and he used to tweet that song a lot and so, like ice in the Mediterranean Sea, like it was just something about that one line Ice in the Mediterranean Sea, like bro, when have you that one line Ice in the Mediterranean Sea. Like bro. When have you ever heard a rapper talk about the Mediterranean Sea? Nobody, nathaniel, nobody. So it was like bro, this had to be around.
Speaker 3:Like 2010, 2011.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but this was definitely after Rax on Rax, for sure, but yeah, after Racks on Racks, for sure. But yeah, I'm gonna just say that that's fine. That's fine, like Sizzle and Tank was the ones that put me on to that song. No doubt, man, I don't know this. I got my gun like I'm John Morant in the trap there you go, you got some trap shit.
Speaker 2:Talking to that dog like I'm Kyla Pratt, every nigga in here stepping on it, like this house a frat. I don't smoke weed, but I smoke niggas Now who trying to match I don't know. That just made my brain hurt. Who is it? It?

Speaker 2:music, off of trap music. You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying Grand hustle. You know, bro, when I say that light just was like yeah, and it came on quick, it was like right, say that light.
Speaker 1:It just was like yeah, and it came on quick. It was like ding. I'm like.
Speaker 2:I'm over here like bro. I know this shit like my mother.
Speaker 1:I know. As soon as you grabbed it, I was like, oh yeah, he knows this. It's over with.
Speaker 2:We just talked about this song today, bro.
Speaker 1:He know what the fuck he be doing. He know what the fuck he be doing he know what he be doing.
Speaker 2:Hey look he be over there taking clips. Yeah, he be like that was smooth bro.
Speaker 3:That was smooth, bro. You know he had to honor you now.
Speaker 2:Hey man nah bro. Nah, bro, that's real dog, that's funny.
Speaker 3:My favorite.
Speaker 1:TI album. Dog, I know that album back and forward.
Speaker 2:The next album that I know back and forward is Urban Legend, and after that I know King, back and forward, and then I'll do TI vs TIP. So I got a question for both of y'all. Since I'm the special guest, let's go for it. Well, one, could you consider yourselves a ti thing? Yes, for sure. What was the song that earned your respect to ti? Like you know what? Because of this song I'm officially a fan.
Speaker 1:I fucked with him because of that so it's interesting for me, for ti, because when I first heard ti I was in californ and I remember and I told this story on a Hold on. I told this story on an older episode of the TNT podcast where the first song I heard from him was 24. But the very first song.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bro, I was in California. Bro. They not playing TI in California. They not playing TI in Californiaifornia. This is like you gotta think about. This is like 2000, when, when's on the phone like 20, 2002, 2002 yeah, I remember I heard that shit.
Speaker 2:I was like bro, what the fuck is this? Because I mean he did have a song with uh, what's his name?
Speaker 1:too short he's in my hotel. Yeah, yeah, they went by that. I knew niggas out in cali that play hotel my, probably oakland, not in la, they wouldn't Okay that makes sense, and that's the thing, though I never remember hearing the song on the radio.
Speaker 1:My only reason why I even heard the song was because my mom had a mix CD. I never forget this mix CD because this is the mix CD that had the PINP that I told you about that. I haven't heard the whole PIN about that. I haven't heard that. I haven't heard the whole pimp remix because of that mix cd. Okay, have you ever heard of p? You know someone's about the uh 50 cent on a snoop dog s and I don't know what you heard about me, but yeah I did a freestyle.
Speaker 1:No, so well, I don't know, he probably did okay. So it's uh, so Okay, so it was the remix and then for some reason, on Snoop Dogg's part, in the beginning it would just skip. Okay, it's like I drive a Cadillac right up here because I'm a G and it would go until you stop it. So when I would skip it it would go to 24s and I was like what the fuck is this Right? And by this point I think I'm I don't know, I'm young, anyway, so I know that TI exists. So I think the song after that I heard was Rubber Band man, okay, and I was like, okay, this isn't, this isn't as bad as the first one. It took me till I maybe like high school to listen to 24s again and be like, oh yeah, I was fucking tripping, like this song is fucking hard yeah, but um, I probably say rubber band man, rubber band man probably be the song that I would say.
Speaker 2:That made me a fan rubber band man getting your respect okay.
Speaker 3:So yeah, I have a similar, similar story because, like I heard, I see 24s like the music video and I wasn't like I, I ain't tap all the way in. You know what I'm saying. Like it was cool. Yeah, her rubber band man. After that, more her, let's Get Away. You know what I'm saying. They solid, right, it was cool, I rocked with them. But I think I used to always go to the basketball games growing up, so I used to always play. Bring them out, and that's so. You. Urban legend now, okay, you know what I'm saying, that's gonna have me locked in. So I was late on the track music, I had to. You don't say I had to go back, but urban legend I heard that whole project and that. That. Like you don't know me, you know what I'm saying. Bring them out.
Speaker 1:Like was actually interesting and this is where I feel like I heard ti like out of order, because right after I heard rubber band man, I heard be easy and I was like, oh, I like this one, like this one, I I could fuck with this one. Like be easy was, was that one, but like like him. I saw him on music videos like these are all the music videos on cn type shit, I'm not hearing this on the radio, I like. So I did hear bring him out. That's when I started hearing him on the radio that's when he was commercial.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's when yeah, that's when I started hearing him on the radio in california.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was, bring him out but then I went back to trap music and I realized once I was more familiar to you know, I'm saying that wasn't quite deep like I feel like this is still around the time I was getting like CDs. You remember them? Yeah, I remember, you know what I'm saying. So I wasn't getting rap albums back then. My first album I got was, I think, get Rich or Die Trying. Okay, you know what I'm saying. So that was the first CD rap album I ever heard. Yeah. But then I went back and did my homework. I was like trap music, classic, I don't care what, but that joint top to bottom, like we be on top of that, like, yeah, not for real, bro.
Speaker 2:For me, my my TI story is kind of like y'all, but in a way it's like specifically kind of different. So of course I heard adult boys in the trap Now again crediting my mom and dad. Being raised in a Christian home, like my dad, you know, you know he, he's into his history and stuff like that. So you know the crack epidemic, epidemic and all that other shit. Like my dad is highly against that. So my dad used to make drug dealers and crack cocaine. He just used to make those people that dealt it and took the shit he used to make them people sound like they're the scum of the earth. So with coming up under my dad, I used to look down on drug dealers like you're bad type situation.
Speaker 2:So I'm saying that and I'm going to leave it back up to that point. But I heard Dope Boyz in the Trap and I just instantly, just like just waved that shit off and dismissed it as like another drug dealer. So dismissed Dope Boyz in the Trap. Um then I heard this song. It was on the mixtape. It's this song called when you In the A, like early TI, it's a tip TI. So it was like some song called.
Speaker 3:When you In the A One of those.
Speaker 2:But it was called when you In the A and like. All I remember is this one line and I felt like he directed it at Jermaine Dupri, because this was after Welcome to Atlanta came out but it was this one line where he was like what's up with all this? Yo yo, yo, yo, yo on an. Atlanta song. Oh shit, because you know, that's what Jermaine Yo, yo, yo, yo yo and TI was like what's up with all this? Yo, yo, yo yo on that Atlanta song and so I was like bro is he going at Jermaine Dupri that's funny and then.
Speaker 2:So, after I heard in a you know, I heard it, I liked it, I kept on.
Speaker 3:I gotta ask you how you even heard that song I used to boost mix CDs, bro. Okay, that was like you had so, like you had this yeah, you're a real one man, you, you're day one. Yeah, you a day one for real, because you know what's crazy you know what's crazy me thinking I did my homework.
Speaker 1:I swear I thought I was like the smartest kid in the world. I thought ti's first song was two glock nines off of the shaft soundtrack. I thought that was his first song. I I didn't discover. I didn't even discover till I met Tanaka Probably like two, three years knowing Tanaka that he had these in the street mixtapes Right. I was like whoa, this is like a whole bunch of.
Speaker 2:This is before drama came on the scene. Yeah, yeah. Like. This is when they had to do their own shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So, like I said, I heard this song called when you In the A, and it was cool because it was representing Atlanta and blah, blah, blah and then, of course, 24 came out and it was like all right, that's cool. I heard Rubber Band man and I heard let's Get Away. I'm probably in what? 10th, 11th grade by now, and this is when Ludacris was still my favorite rapper. At that point, because I'll say, from 5th grade to fucking 9th grade, you couldn't tell me shit about Ludog you on fire.
Speaker 2:And then all I know is 9th grade came around going to Stone Mountain High School. This is back when we had the CD player and we would ride the bus and anytime you hit something that CD would skip or pause. So my homeboy made me this mixed CD and he was like, listen to the fifth song. And I fucked around and listened. I fucked around and listened to the sixth song and this was Immature. This was the group IMX Immature.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it was that song my Very First Time In the house, on the couch in your parents' bedroom, remember, but anyway. So I listened to the wrong song and I was like bro I know he ain't want me to hear this shit- and then I just remember looking at the CD and he emphasized number five.
Speaker 2:So I went back to number five and this was the very first time I ever heard Never Scared. So of course I'm outside of the club. I ain't never scared, I ain't never scared. And then of course you got Bone Crusher on the first verse All right, cool. You got Killer Mike on the second the hook, come back on. And then you hear TI in the background. Hey, hey, the, yeah, yeah, no, I ain't bad. Just don't kiss no ass or take shit, bitch, I'm a grown man Find somebody to play with If you don't like me.
Speaker 2:when you see me, better not say shit out. Choke your ass out like Dre did that bitch. You better tell these bitches, they ain't fucking with no rookie.
Speaker 3:I'm a bankhead nigga, I'll take your cookies.
Speaker 2:Like bro who the hell is this Like we're pulling up to Stone Mountain High School and I'm just like deep into my headphones like bro, who is this and why is he going so fucking hard bro?
Speaker 3:Like I'm a bankhead nigga.
Speaker 2:I'll take your cookie and don't make it a me or you situation. I'll have your partner down. I'll see you in visitation, like hope for the best, but I don't think he going to make it, not the way he was shivering and shaking on the pavement. You know what he say. I tell you what if you make it, come grace, cause he amazing, find out. He verses when, the own thing blazing just when you thought that I was done. I was saving up best for last nigga, kiss my ass why is he going off before first period verse?
Speaker 2:too early to be this mad bro but. I felt that shit bro yeah yeah so.
Speaker 2:So this is I, I bro. I heard the 24s like like this I I heard never scared way after 24 came out, but Never Scared came out first, right, yeah, right. So it was like Never Scared officially and properly introduced TI to me, mm-hmm. And so, of course, like I said, I already heard 24. I heard Rob Band man. I heard let's Get Away yeah. But when my homeboy gave me the Trap album Burnt CD, I sat down and I listened to it. And this goes back to the song I mean the reason why I asked y'all this question the song that made me a fan and gained my respect to TI was.
Speaker 3:I'm Just Doing my Job.
Speaker 2:So, like even before TI started rapping, this is back in my music production days, so the beat alone caught me. I didn't know Kanye produced that shit that sample crazy.
Speaker 2:So I was like it was like the instrumental already is grasping me because it's like. And then again, like I said earlier, this is going to bring me back to the point my dad used to make me look at. Well, he influenced me to look at drug dealers like the scum of the earth because, you know, these drugs are killing your brothers and sisters, it's ruining the community, blah, blah, blah Right, and greed and money and shit. But TI earned my respect by his articulation and, like I'm just doing my job was his way of sitting me down and telling me all right, look bro, my job was his way of sitting me down and telling me all right, look bro, we got wives, husbands, kids, dads, moms, just like you. But we got to do what we got to do. Everybody doesn't have this job opportunity that you have. Everybody doesn't have that opportunity that you have. And before I just sit down and die, I'm going to do something to feed my family, even though it may not be the ideal situation that I want to be in. I'm using what I have until I can get to where I want. You dig what I'm saying. Like you got all the commercial hits, yeah, cool, but I'm just doing my job, earn my respect. I'm not going to say that I support or I'm against trapping, but I get it.
Speaker 2:Some people don't have the best situations, or or opportunities or circumstances. Yeah, see, I said to himself he was like, he was like what he said. He was like, um shit, every time you come in the hood you know you ain't like, I ain't up to no like, it ain't like I'm up to no good, or doing this shit because I want to. Right, I'm in a situation where I'm doing what the best I can, right, like it was hell in high school when you helping with the red lights and the gas bill too. So before you go, judging us, loving us won't hurt. What do you say? Also, heard what he say. Also, keep, keep in mind, staying alive under 25 is hard work, bro, like, like.
Speaker 2:And I was like damn bro, I get it and like his, articulation really gained my respect, like you know what bro that's real, because he gave you that different perspective you know what I'm saying, like that you probably would have never came.
Speaker 3:I never would have came across again.
Speaker 2:My dad kept us away from that, so it's like I can't just walk up to buddy over here at modern stations trying to sell me a three, five. Why do you do this, right, right, because even if I did have that opportunity to talk to somebody, they might not have articulated it the way that. The way tip face. Yeah, I mean so the way that, the way tip face, yeah, I mean. So it was like I get it right and this was before t I started showing his you know crazy vernacular right?
Speaker 1:he just sat you down and like look bro, let me explain this to you, bro.
Speaker 2:Right, if you get it, you get it. If you don't, you don't. But this is what, like this, is me doing my job. I don't have no other job, while it takes these people three and four months to hire me. I got a phone bill and a light bill due tomorrow, so either we finna be sitting here in the dark or I'm finna do something, right, right, right. Everybody don't have that opportunity that the next person may have, so it's like you know, it is what it is. This ain't something that I want to continue doing, but if I can get to a point where I can save up and get to something else instead of this trap, shit cool.
Speaker 3:But this ain't the end goal for me and I think that's what I appreciate, you know, because you know they had the classic discussion of like, you know, tip, jeezy and TI, you know, trapping all that GZ and CI you know, and all that. That's. The thing I appreciate about Tip is I feel like he gave that perspective of like, look, I'm doing this, but it's not to glorify it, right.
Speaker 2:Everybody else is glorifying it. I'm showing you like this is my method of survival and providing, like I remember, again, my dad used to always share his perspective. And I finally, like, like I first heard, I'm just doing my job around like 20, I mean two oh three, oh three, oh four. And I've been saying for decades because, again, my dad is a pastor and a minister and an elder, blah, blah, blah and I've been saying to myself for decades, like bro I know, dad don't listen, musicussing in it, but I want to sit my dad down and what's that website, genius, where you can read?
Speaker 2:yeah, like I sat my dad down, I told him ahead of time like, daddy, he's gonna have some cuss words in it, but we're both adults so I mean it is what it is right and I set my dad down and I played, just doing my job, and I let him read the lyrics and I said this is why ti is my favorite.
Speaker 2:Now I understand you saying what you saying back in your day, but this is an actual person that at the time when he was doing this, he was explaining why he does right and he wasn't doing it to glorify. He was doing what most men are supposed to do find a way to provide right. Again, everybody ain't got college degrees. Some people had to like when t I explained like look I'm, I'm, I dropped out of school to help my mom and this or that, like I get it right. Like because, at the end of the day, a college degree don't don't always necessarily lock in a great job for it and again everybody doesn't always have that opportunity to wait on another man to come bring them something.
Speaker 2:You got to go out and get that shit on your own with the time that you have. That's a fact. So the answer, the question I ask y'all both the song that made me a TI fan was just doing my job, and then after that, bezel Bezel is like bro. That song was like one of the hardest songs that never hit the radio bro.
Speaker 3:I had the legends on that too, Bobby G.
Speaker 2:A Bobby MJG and. Pimp C Truthfully and I'm not.
Speaker 1:Boy, it be my bad. So here's the thing about that question G and Pimp C Truthfully and I'm not Boy, that'd be my bad. Here's the thing about that question. I can't necessarily say this song was what locked me in, because I was already a TI fan and I already appreciated him. But I will say in the same light that's why I always loved Steal Ain't. Forgave Myself, okay, because it was just his perspective on what street life was and what he had to do, and you know he didn't yeah how far he came and you know he didn't like what he had to do, but you know he had to do and do
Speaker 2:it right so yeah, see, I was a T, I was a very great storyteller. You remember that song what, what Happened? It was right after. Still Ain't Forgave Myself, yeah, yeah, that's all that I'll say. Hell, yeah, like this nigga died and went to hell and did a whole shootout against Satan, like bruh shout out to what Happened. And then another song about trap music. What's that song? I Still Love you. You know that song? Great record.
Speaker 3:I know this album by heart y'all.
Speaker 2:Don't hate me. Don't hate me, Shota. But even if you hate me, Shota, I still love you. And now that I wish that I could see that my intentions were good, Shota, I still love you Classic Classic.
Speaker 1:Smooth what you know about this?

Speaker 2:actually interesting. This is when I moved here Was about all this and I was on the east side. I went Stevenson.
Speaker 1:So what's actually interesting, this is when I moved here was when all this shit was popping Like Black Mob Yeet. I would always hear about all this stuff and it was.
Speaker 2:I was just like but I remember, every Saturday, t-bag Bro, we played, this Bro, we played.
Speaker 1:Bro, do you remember? Wait, okay, I don't know where you were. Okay, 05, 06.
Speaker 2:Where were you? My class is 06, so that was Redan, but Redan Stone Mountain, that whole Eastside area, bro, I remember every Saturday we were all mobbed up, Even if you weren't part of nobody's clique or crew. Everybody knew to go to Stonecrest Mall. This was when Stonecrest was hot and when I say so many fights that happened at Stonecrest Mall.
Speaker 1:Sean, I'm going to just put this in perspective. I'm 12 years old, this is all happening and I moved here. I moved here from a private school in California, that's in the LA-ish area, and it wasn't nothing but Mexicans. It wasn't nothing but Mexicans and Asians. I moved down here. Okay, so I find out from my mom oh yeah, we're moving to Atlanta, we're going to live around some people, our people. I'm happy. This is like oh yeah, little does he know.
Speaker 1:Little does he know, look, it's like I'm literally getting put right in the middle of a fucking war zone. This shit is like I'm hearing about black mob. I'm hearing about goddamn the fam, like, sob, like stone I'm hearing about stone crest having a fight every. I just so happened. I just so happened to go one time and it was like all right, yeah, I remember I, yeah, I remember fights outside the movie theater in broad daylight.
Speaker 2:I remember seeing fights inside the whole food court. Okay, stonecrest Mall, y'all know how to level. I've legitimately, with my own eyes, seen niggas jump from the top level over the thing to the bottom level just to hop in fight.
Speaker 3:Damn that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah them big ass parachute clothes niggas used to wear.
Speaker 2:You remember them jackets with the orange on the inside, Exactly yeah. I had one because I was working at Burlington Coat Factory. It was black on the outside, it was orange on the inside and it had this fur hat on top of it and that shit was so fire. And then I just remember going up to Stone Chris Mall, this nigga walked up to me and said you went blankety blank. And I was like nah. He was like take that shit off or I'm going to beat your ass.
Speaker 2:Damn I just remember looking at my partner. He was like I don't know why the fuck you looking at him. Either you take that shit off or we all going to beat your ass. And then I looked again and my homeboy started walking off. I was like damn, damn, damn. So I just took that shit off, folded it up and just walked around with it like this here I walked around the mall and then literally about a good 20 minutes after I issued that warning another fight broke out.
Speaker 2:bro Niggas fought everywhere. I was there at Stonecrest Mall. This had to be around 2009, when they started implementing that curfew rule and not only the curfew rule. By a certain time, you had to have somebody that was 21.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 21 in order. I was wondering when that happened because, I ain't going to lie, there was a gap when I stopped going to Stone Crest.
Speaker 2:I was there the day they implemented that shit. I'm sitting in the food court fucking up some shit for life and I just remember this security guard walk up to me and she was like excuse me, sir, how old are you? I said why? Because I'm thinking she's trying to come flirt right and she was like are you above the age of 21? I said I'm well above the age of 21, like thinking she's trying to flirt so I'm like, I'm well above the age of 21.
Speaker 2:what's up, shawty? She was like don't call me Sheldon, let me see your ID. I said why. She was like I'm going to ask you one last time before I escort you out. Let me see your ID. Pulled shit out here. She was like okay, because if you weren't above the age of 21, you were either going to have to have somebody come up here to be with you or you got to leave. I said what's your number? She was like I don't want you. I said fine.
Speaker 3:It's a long ass.
Speaker 1:But yeah, what was I about to say? I was going to? Oh, so I brought that up because I don't know if you were using the band right. So were you in the jamboree for 2000? Oh, no, you wouldn't have been, because I think that was 2006, 2007, I believe.
Speaker 2:Were you in the jamboree.
Speaker 1:You said what I wasn't.
Speaker 2:I wasn't playing in 07. Oh, you weren't playing in high school. No, not in 07. Oh not in 07.
Speaker 1:Oh, you weren't playing in high school? No, not in 07. Oh, not in 07? Yeah, because you said your graduation year was 06. Or no, maybe it was. You know what it was? Because I was in seventh grade. So were you in the jamboree when Stevenson played teabag and they went against? We went against. Who did we go against? Who the fuck did we go against? It wasn't Redan. Oh, it wasn't Redan. Nah, because we didn't go against Redan until, I think, the year after, because we had played Party Like a Rockstar or some shit. Who did we go against? I don't remember. Anyway, we played T-Bag and I remember there was a part where we all had T-Bags and we weren't supposed to throw it.
Speaker 3:No, but all them niggas launched that shit at fucking.
Speaker 1:Who was it? I don't remember what high school we went against, but yeah, bro, it was, and I played the sousaphone too. There it go right there. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Tea Don't don't don't, don't, don't, don't Cup. Everybody just lost it. T-bag and Hope Probably seventh grade talking about T-Bag and Hope. Oh my God, here's the thing. The thing about it is they had this girl singing the Neo. So Sick, I'm so sick of Stevenvenson all you hear is like bruh, it's loud too.
Speaker 1:Like they hated us, like it was bad, like that all years being better than me. Boo, bro, I'm probably like somewhere in this area right here, like that shit Anyway we don't want to get off of tension, we're going to watch it later, but yeah, so anyway, you can have me all in that shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm somewhere in that monstrosity. But yes, my nomination is Flat Top 21 Savage. He was a menace. No heart, red out all that shit. That was my shit back in that time. That was a great time to be alive, alright. So, musician, what are you nominating to get inducted into the TNT Podcast Hall of Fame and why he said anything, anything you want to be.
Speaker 3:Shit um. He said anything anything, anything.
Speaker 1:You want to be shit um, it could be anything anything, I mean, as long as it's not already in this room. Yeah, oh, we are. Yeah, this is called tanaka town, by the way, and this is already, uh, a hall of fame. It's already already a hall of famer.
Speaker 2:So you can't soinate me, so I can't use nothing in it.
Speaker 1:Oh no, you can. No, you can use something in here, but the whole room is called Tanaka Town and it is already inducted. So if you want to, I guess you want to nominate a CD.

We're going to put it on the Instagram. Y'all vote when we get that on the Instagram. And, yeah, we're going to move on. What we got next, tanaka.
Speaker 3:Song of the Day.
Speaker 1:Song of the day. Song of the day is actually going to be interesting because, if you know, turn up, turn up, turn up is a sucker for intros when it comes to albums. Okay, like an album, like an intro for me will make or break if I actually listen to an album for real. So, um, this, this song, um, when I heard it I was like it kind of set me up for the album. I was like you know what I think? I think I'm gonna listen to this album. So my song of the day is a song from kanye west, tiana taylor and R Kelly To the.
Speaker 3:World.
Speaker 1:Okay, are you familiar with To the World by Kanye West, r Kelly, not at all. So that was 2012,. Right, tanaka.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was off the Good Music.
Speaker 1:That was off the Good Music album. Good Music album At the time I feel like what was I doing at the time? At the time I was probably like a year into DJing and I think I was probably a year into DJing and I think I was a few months into the Boys and Girls Club Just trying to get my feet wet in the party scene, just trying to DJ and all that shit. When I think about that song, I immediately think about me listening to that whole album, because the first track was To the World and then the last track was Don't Like, and that was already killing the radios. Don't Like Kanye West remix with Cheeky and all that.
Speaker 2:Kanye did not have to go so hard on that remix.
Speaker 1:We gonna get back to that, sean.
Speaker 2:We gonna get back to that. I'm gonna give him a little information. The ad-lib.
Speaker 3:I was like we gonna get back to that, I'm going to give them a little information.
Speaker 1:The ad-lib, the ad-lib, whoa, I was like we're going to get back to that.
Speaker 3:Sean, I'm going to give them some information about To the World and then you can talk about.
Speaker 1:Don't Like. I promise We'll get back to this. So the release date of the song was September 14, 2012. It was the opening track of Good Music compilation album Cruel Summer. Being the very first track, it set the tone for the album's overall vibe of defiance. The label involved to the world was obviously Good Music, which was in partnership with Def Jam Records. The music producers that was on the song was who was credited was two people by the name of Pop pop, wanzo and oakland. Are you familiar with either one of them?
Speaker 3:you are both of them yeah, what?
Speaker 1:what do you know? What do you know about either one of them?
Speaker 3:uh, they produced refill l l varner and some other r&b. Uh too, that shit Okay.
Speaker 1:But according to some sources, there's actually a lot of fucking people that produced this track, this one track, which is actually fitting for Kanye because Kanye is a very detailed motherfucker and it makes sense, so apparently including them. Kanye West is on it, and apparently Hudson Mohawk, ken Lewis, anthony Kilhoffer, twilight Tone and Travis Scott. So that's just one song. The instrumental is heavily sampled by Sterling Sims' 2011 song Walk On by, which is infused in the track's soulful quality. Walk On by, which is infused in the track's soulful quality. This sample serves as a counterpoint to the track's rebellious lyrics, merging vintage R&B textures with a modern defiance. The theme of defiance and individual of To the World is unapologetically defiant, with the repetitive chants urging the listener to put your middle fingers up to the world. The track chants is raw and rebellious. R Kelly's impassionate chorus and Kanye's verse works into tandem to create an anthem that is much about personal autonomy as it is about collective resistance.
Speaker 1:At the time, kanye was doing a lot of fashion and he was doing promotion for Cruel Summer. He was in a relationship with Kim Kardashian. R Kelly was still trying to show his name to a younger generation. The legal stuff didn't start happening yet. That didn't start happening until like five years, Five years, probably like five or six years later, and Tiana Taylor was still kind of new. She was still kind of new. She was known as a singer. I think at that point she had came out. She was on some Madea movie. No, I lied, it was Madea's Witness Protection. That was the movie she was on.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. And then is that the one where she's like Byron? Is that that one? I don't know, I don't know. I just remember this one where her and Bow Wow and her thing is like, she's like Byron, Anyway, so it's charted. It's charted in the United States, number 70, and in Canada is peaked at 92 and in France is peaked at 161.
Speaker 1:So the critics, the critics for the song, they were pretty much positive, which the reviewers were focused on his bold style. Critics appreciate the tracks reoccurring middle fingers to the world, which became like a chant type shit. The only thing I guess the critics really had to say negative about it was, I guess, the there was, um, I guess the lyric where he said something about mitt romney, but at that point, that's just a reach.
Speaker 1:That's just. You know, folks just reaching for a shit to say about kanye. But, um, yeah, if you're looking for something that has some real dope like real dope production with all those people, you should tell it's going to be a heartbeat, but a little bit of hip-hop, a little bit of R&B with R Kelly, teyana Taylor, kanye West. That's my song of the day Kanye West to the world. So let's get back to. I don't like. What are your thoughts on it?
Speaker 2:I'm good, it wasn't just my thought At this time we just had a little yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you hear it to the world and I'm gonna get your, I'm gonna get your thoughts on it. See how you feel about it.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna Send me, text me the name of that song again, cause I wanna listen to it in the car. I want to get the car full like I want. I want to really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you hear that yeah, as a matter of fact, I think I got my, I think I got my studio headphone anyway, so yeah, so that's my song of the day tanaka, what we got, uh, album of the day, album of the day or song of the day I did album. I did song of the day. He does album of the day. I did album of the day. I did song of the day.
Speaker 3:He does album of the day. Yeah, I'm going to go with Jamie Foxx Unpredictable. You know what I'm saying? Bruh, bruh.
Speaker 1:You might as well let me sit, Sean just sleeph, Bruh.
Speaker 3:You might as well.
Speaker 1:let Musician just sneak away, nah, I literally just revisited this album last week.
Speaker 2:Let me show you something else. I don't know if y'all got threads at DJ Musician on everything, so look, so look on my behalf it's just funny as fuck, you just brought that up Last week. I just said, revisiting this album Crazy man these are my brothers.
Speaker 1:These are my brothers, so I will say this this is interesting about this album is what what most people not even I won't even say the young generation, because I won't even blame the young generation there are people in our generation that really thinks that this is his first album.
Speaker 3:Right, right.
Speaker 1:But I mean honestly, it was, but his first album was so far back they wouldn't think of it. They wouldn't think of it, but at the same time they didn't take him seriously either.
Speaker 2:Right, because they knew of the comedian James Fox.
Speaker 1:But I always wonder like what was it? Did enough time have to pass for him to finally take him serious?
Speaker 2:Because I feel like at this time he was still Because he was focusing more on his TV show than I believe.
Speaker 1:Oh, at the time. That's a fair statement. Jamie Foxx, yeah, true, that might make sense.
Speaker 3:Because when did they stop doing Jamie Foxx?
Speaker 1:I feel like late 90s, late 90s, very late 90s. Yeah, I feel like late 90s. I don't think it touched me, and this album came out in 05.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it came out in 05. Yeah, yeah, man, I ain't going to lie as I revisited this album as a skate DJ. Shout out to Kyle Park.
Speaker 1:This is going to be a good opener at the end.
Speaker 3:Never want to take this Speaking of Colin.
Speaker 2:Park. This happened like two, three weeks ago. He had emailed me his remix to Boots on the Ground. When I say I'm so fucking sick and tired of that song and no hate, no hate to the producer? No hate at all, it's just when you heard that song and no hate.
Speaker 3:No hate to uh the producer right, no, no, no hate at all.
Speaker 2:It's just when you heard that song so goddamn much, you know you get tired of it. But he had sent me the remix, his remix to uh, like this on some trains and trio reading it you ready Some trains and trio reading.
Speaker 2:Y'all heard me play this before. Whenever y'all hear this, y'all know it's time. Like what he did to break my soul. I mean, yeah, break my soul was so hard Any of y'all that's ever been to my rink or when this song come on, y'all know it's time. Brother, that's true, but anyway, man, I was probably sitting here remixing to Boots on the Ground.
Speaker 2:I was like dog Crazy, yeah. So, like I said, like this is some walking into the rink On a adult night, like I've revisited this album, and I was like bro, I appreciate the effort. Now that I've, now that my ear has matured and grown, I appreciate this album.
Speaker 3:And that's. I think that's one of the dope things, I think, for us DJs. We revisit old albums and we're able to hear different, like oh, we could play this in the rink. You know what I'm saying. Knowing different styles, it's like we could have probably never played this in no club or no party, but in the rink, you know what.
Speaker 2:I'm saying that's another reason why I like DJing in the skate rink. Because it gives you the challenge of not just having to play new shit, but it gives you the freedom and the ability to go back and play things that you wouldn't even think to hear in the club no facts.
Speaker 3:I think me and Turner was talking about the Jhené Aiko living room flow. You know what I'm saying. That's not a song that's known. Me and Turner was talking about the Jhene Aiko Living Room Flow. You know what I'm saying. Like that's not a song that's like known, but in the skating rink that's like a banger as soon as you play that shit.
Speaker 2:You hear something in the crowd Woo Right, like goddamn, like they literally been waiting on that shit all night.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, like there's never been a point or a time that I've ever played that song and didn't hear a response.
Speaker 1:Yeah, as soon as you hear that. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Definitely Like I never heard of Tell Me by Usher until I started DJing in the skate rink. Me too, yep Same, and this was back.
Speaker 3:Have metro, metro uh, the skate ring back then, so I just started djing up there and you know smooches shout out smooth smoothies.
Speaker 2:Uh, smooches, and her friend lily smooches was dating this guy named darnell. We're gonna take this out, but lily and darnell used to date and they always used to love this song. So Darnell came up to me. He was like bruh. It's this song called Tell Me by Usher. It's a long ass song and I was like bruh. How long he was like bruh, just download the song. I downloaded that shit. That shit is 8 fucking minutes long and, like anytime, like any DJ that knows me knows as soon as I. I downloaded that shit. That shit is eight fucking minutes long and, like anytime, like any DJ that knows me, knows as soon as I play this song, especially if you come to Cascade, anytime I play that song. That's my walk around, stretch my leg, walk around the rink and talk to people. So that song is a long song, but anyway.
Speaker 2:I never heard this song outside of the rink Right, any, anyway, I never heard this song outside the rink Right Any club, any bar, any lounge. Never heard it. But the skating rink, bro, you can go order a whole meal. Yeah, get some juice or soda and then come back and your food is done before the song is out. People in the skating rink love that song dog. I love that songink, love that song dog. Love that joint, love that joint. But, yeah, man, certain songs that you wouldn't think that you would hear anywhere else would surprise you because it can be played here in the ring yeah you did definitely.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that's why, right, yeah, that's why, that's why it's dope, though you know what I'm saying that's why the challenge of being a skate dj and there's actually it's- interesting that, though you know what I'm saying, I love the challenge of being a skate DJ and there's actually it's interesting that you bring up that about the Usher Tell Me joint, because there's actually a couple songs on here that I did Because, honestly, I've never heard this album all the way through. I've heard a couple songs here and there, but I've never heard this album all the way through, right, but there are songs on here that I discovered through the skating rink, like uh, can I take?
Speaker 1:you home, like when I heard kind of take, I was like wow, why am I just now like I'm?
Speaker 3:mad at myself like how am I? Yeah?
Speaker 2:I didn't know about that one. No, that, that wasn't. That wasn't a commercial song.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the only one was unpredictable and dj play a love song and I think that's, I think that's it. I think those are only two songs that were uh singles so, yeah, unpredictable and do what it do. Do what it do is another one that I learned in I learned.
Speaker 2:I learned that back in 05 when that album came out, do what it do tonight, and then three-letter word obviously, like this album was masterful, like so I appreciate the effort in that album so I'm gonna ask him the question I usually ask you have you heard all the jamie foxx's albums? Not all of them.
Speaker 1:Have you heard?
Speaker 2:a good majority of them. The last Jamie Foxx album that I listened to was Best Night of my Life, but my favorite two is Unpredictable and Intuition. Shout out to DJ Avalanche, my doll Asher.
Speaker 1:So, out of those three, where does? Where does Unpredictable sit? Out of the three that you've heard.
Speaker 2:Jamie, I mean Unpredictable Intuition.
Speaker 3:Best Night in my Life, so it sounds like Best.
Speaker 2:Night in my Life is at the bottom, but Best Night is definitely at the bottom out of those three. I'm gonna say I feel you.
Speaker 1:I feel you out of those three.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna say best night of my life at the bottom intuition second. So I'm presenting.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah like is there a reason why you stopped like it was this album like you was like okay well, he started to change up right, started to become a little more like auto-tuned.
Speaker 3:Not even just the auto-tune, but just like the content, yeah, the type of songs he was making, right, I feel like this was the most soulful. You know what I'm saying? Bingo, you know Right.
Speaker 1:He got to have that soul. Like he had the right writers around him, so he was making more club music or something like that. Or trying to make club music or something like that I wouldn't even say club music.
Speaker 2:It just felt like, okay, we'll go back to Unforgettable. It felt organic. It felt like if Jamie Foxx really focused on this shit, that's him. This didn't feel like an album he was trying to sell. This felt like this like an album he was trying to sell. This felt like this is a point he's trying to prove Either you're going to like it or you're not. If you don't like it, you got to fight to not like this shit. You got to hate me to not like this shit.
Speaker 1:This is me, this is me and this is unapologetically me.
Speaker 2:This is me before I became Hollywood.
Speaker 1:Which is interesting because he was definitely Hollywood back in 2005. Okay, okay, put it this way this is an odd comparison.
Speaker 2:The Rock was the Rock before Hollywood.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, okay, I get that.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's a fair comparison. Then, once he became the Scorpion King, that's a fair comparison. You dig what I'm saying. That's a fair comparison, and that was the first thing that randomly came to mind, but like again he had a point to prove.
Speaker 3:That's a perfect analogy, because Turnup's well nah, I don't know the Rock like that, but Turnup is a, he's a wrestling head. He studies that joint for real.
Speaker 1:So the fact that you brought up the Rock. That was honestly a fair comparison.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. You're speaking his language.
Speaker 1:You definitely did you definitely did For sure.
Speaker 2:Right, like the Rock, had millions and millions of fans and millions and millions, way before the Scorpion King, right Likewood came to him. Yeah, right, he didn't have to go to them. Right, you did so I was like he's the most famous action.
Speaker 1:Superhero or super actor, whatever the fuck man so so, tanaka, how do you like what? So how do you feel about it? Like?
Speaker 3:yeah, I mean I like it the most just because, like I said, it's my soul kind of like how you feel. Yeah, no, I write with intuition. You got some records on there. Um, I just uh, the production on that joint is a little more glossier. I would say, if I was to describe it right, um, and then, yeah, that's not, that's not in my life. This is like even more so, like further. You know what?
Speaker 3:I'm saying so yeah, because I think I've heard a couple tracks off that's not in my life and that's like because I think he had that song living better now and it like samples biggie, living better now.
Speaker 2:I remember this song with TI on it, I guess I mean yeah.
Speaker 1:That's Justin Timberlake.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I guess he has the money for it, yeah.
Speaker 2:Like at that point he definitely had the money for it.
Speaker 1:But like no. I feel like Justin could have fit in one of these songs in Unpredictable. She had the money for it too.
Speaker 2:Let me ask y'all this, let me ask y'all this we're excluding Chris Brown automatically.
Speaker 1:Why do we keep excluding?
Speaker 2:Chris Brown, because usually that's the easy go-to, so we're excluding Chris Brown. Who would you want to see Usher have a versus against?
Speaker 1:That's not fair, because I feel like that's like the perfect two, and I've been saying that ever since. The versus has been like bro, why haven't we got an Usher versus Chris Brown?
Speaker 2:Usher and Chris is bigger than fucking versus bro. Like versus would, Versus would be benefiting off of them. That's fine, I'm selfish. They might as well just have their own content.
Speaker 1:That's fine. I'm okay with that. I'm selfish, I'm not going to lie. I need that Versus, but to go against Usher.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:Truthfully honestly, I would flip that question. I'd be like who would go against Chris Brown?
Speaker 2:I mean, ain't nobody going against Chris Brown?
Speaker 3:Who's seeing?
Speaker 2:him Especially for this generation, Like after Usher is Chris.
Speaker 1:But who are you going to? Okay, so who would you say is going against Usher? Is Chris? Who would you say is going against Usher? Honestly, if I were to put anybody against Chris Brown, it would be unfair. It would have to determine how their showmanship is. Who wins?
Speaker 3:Him versus.
Speaker 1:Kels, it would have to be against their showmanship. A lot of people just like how they and I'm going to bring up his favorite one. A lot of people were saying that Dipset was going to kill LOX because of all the hits they have. But the way Jadakiss sold that fucking who shot your freestyle I ain't never heard of. No fucking who shot your freestyle. I ain't never heard that shit before. But the way he sold it like them folks was going crazy right like it was like a certified hit I ain't never heard of it. I don't know. Y'all tell me different, but yeah, but um, that's the only person I could think of is no, I lied. So see, I wouldn't even say him. Yeah, it had to be Kells, it had to be Kells, yeah, it was.
Speaker 3:Kells man, Because I don't know anybody else Going against.
Speaker 1:Usher, no going against Chris, but Kells would crush everybody. But that's what I'm saying, that's the closest thing I can see, because here's the thing about Usher.
Speaker 1:Like and no offense to Usher. I always will appreciate Usher for 8701 and Confessions. However, usher had one, two, three at the most four strong, really strong albums at the most Like four. Chris Brown got a couple of them like like. He has a lot of. He has a lot of hits like some of them. Okay, I'll say, after raymond versus raymond, like it, it starts to sputter a little bit right, like for chris. The only, literally the only sputter for chris was graffiti.
Speaker 2:That was the only sputter literally I'm trying to find something. So I'm definitely listening, but it's something that I say, but okay, well, how do you feel about?
Speaker 3:because I don't know this. Yeah, I don't know who else, because we, we could. I followed him, by the way.
Speaker 1:He has great music taste. Shout out to him, I'm gonna shout him out. Shout out to it's Just Cam. Shout out to you, bro, you have great music taste.
Speaker 2:I've always said I would love to see Hold on, pause it. Pause it. I mean not Jamie Farger.
Speaker 1:Justin Timberlake. That's actually interesting, but I remember I asked this. I remember I asked this. I remember I asked this to you, tanaka, and I'm intrigued to get your opinion on this. So much questions. What do you think is a more influential debut album? Doug Motivation 101 or Get Rich or Die Trying, and why on a grander scale.
Speaker 2:On the grandest scale, we'll say get rich Like that's worldwide bro. Yeah, that's worldwide bro. Yeah it is. No, it is Like not even just that, but look at all the people that's got, look at the people that got their hands involved with that, bro. Yeah, eminem Dre, just those two names alone crush Jeezy bro.
Speaker 1:And the only reason why I say that, and the only reason why I even think that, is because, like it was kind of Dre and Em lifting 50 up, jeezy got all that shit from the bottom. Everybody know who Shawty Red was. Everybody know who. Yeah, we know who Akon is. We listen to Soul Survivor because of Akon, alright, so we're just going to move on to DJ Talk. You said you had a question, or did you want to?
Speaker 3:Yeah, Sean, what was the DJ Talk?
Speaker 2:question that we had. Just that question I just asked between Usher and no it was a DJ topic question.
Speaker 1:Hold on, let me go back to it. You asked me oh, dj talk of the day, djs copying other DJ sets. Sean, the floor is yours.
Speaker 3:The floor is yours. Go ahead, you know.
Speaker 2:You know you're doing something right. You know you are doing something right or great when others come to your set and shazam every single time, every single time that you change a song and he or she pulls out their phone and shazams.
Speaker 1:Sean, what was it? What was it? I vaguely remember this story. You remember these stories. It was plural. You were like bro, every song, you don't have any songs like, let's talk about it.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about it, man you know what I'm saying, like you know how they got dj coalitions out, yeah, there should be a copy and paste DJ coalition. And like, like, I understand the, the, the purpose of Shazam, but I can't stand lazy ass DJ. Like, my thing is, if you're going to copy and paste me and you're getting paid, what did they call it back in high school college plagiarism Plagiarism, yeah, quote your source. Either quote your source or pay your source, or both, or at least give credit. Hey man, shout out to DJ Musician bruh, I would have never thought to play this song or all these songs, or all these songs or all these songs without you. I never would have made it. Oh Jesus, like, nah bro, like come on dawg. There's a difference between being being what's the word I'm looking for? Influenced. There's a difference between being being what's the word I'm looking for? Influenced. There's a difference between being influenced and and just outright, downright copying the motherfucker but Sean, don't?
Speaker 1:they say copying is the biggest form of flattering flatter me with your acknowledgement or your check.
Speaker 2:Flatter me with your acknowledgement and your check. You know what I mean, because it's like if I'm Bro, anybody can type in these songs and play it, type in next song and play it. My thing is, if you're only copying everything that I've done, that's half the work. So pay me half your time. Even if you don't play the songs in the same order, I would hope not, that's a whole other monster.
Speaker 1:Please, no, let's not get into it. Come on Now. That's crazy Now playing it in the same order Tanaka we had this discussion.
Speaker 3:It's crazy.
Speaker 2:Shout out to.
Speaker 1:Oh, we named our producer.
Speaker 2:Hello, shout out to Serato. I'm not going to say nothing slick about Virtue DJ, because they do it as well, but shout out to the history in your Serato. So a specific DJ called me while he was supporting another DJ that was at the rink on another day. So Cascade Fridays are my Fridays, this DJ these DJs, these is more. Plural On different nights came up to my set. One DJ came up to my set and she was I shouldn't even say she- I mean, there's more than one girl, dj, and nobody said that Phil is Wait.
Speaker 1:Did you say Shut up?
Speaker 2:Just shut up. Shut up. She came up in my DJ booth and while I'm playing Like I have great peripheral, so while I'm playing and changing the song, she'll either Shazam it or go to YouTube and type it in and download it immediately. And I said you know what? Let me try something Play your song real quick, immediately. I'm right here DJing DJ. She's next to me typing real fast, play this song. I look over bottom of the map, play all there, all type in type in what's up. Mate got cake mate oh, not your song.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's your joint. Oh, I know you're disappointed at that one.
Speaker 2:At that point.
Speaker 1:I told her directly like I'm looking at you right now. I told her directly.
Speaker 2:I know you are not right here copying my shit. Sorry for cussing mama. I know you're not right here literally copying my shit. No, I ain't copying it, it's just some of these songs I ain't never heard before, some that's where you would have gotten it, some, some so.
Speaker 1:So you have the audacity to say S-U-M Like bruh, and then.
Speaker 2:So she caught herself being slick. So the following week she didn't come up to the DJ booth, she went upstairs to Marquise Lounge and you know, marquise Lounge plays the music downstairs, upstairs. And so another one of our mutual DJs was up there and he sent me a video of her Shazam-ing and typing in songs and downloading them. And I'm like bruh Shavu, you really ain't Shazamming and typing in songs and downloading them. And I'm like, bro, you really ain't slick. But at the end of the day, again, you're obviously doing something great or something real good. If you got folks copying, then that was her story. Now let's talk about his story, oh, his story, history. So this DJ or I'll just leave it at that history.
Speaker 2:So this DJ or I'll just leave it at that. This song player, because I don't even know if I want to call him a DJ. This song player somebody pointed this out to me. He was like bro, why every time he skates around the rink he pulls out his phone and it looks like he's shazamming. So once that was brought to my attention, I'm like so I played this song and I purposely didn't play the whole song I played a verse and then I played a hook and then next hook, then next song hook.
Speaker 2:So he's trying to catch every single song, although I'm skipping through like skimming through and so I'm not gonna say too much. But we'll just say he played at another rink and one of my one of my real close people called me. He was sitting in front of him while he was DJing. So DJ booth is right here and it's a seat that you can sit at, in front of the DJ booth and this guy called me my source called me and he said Sean the song player I'm not calling him no DJ, he hasn't earned that shit. So I'm just gonna say this song player really sounds like you right now. He said you DJ yesterday, right? I said yeah. He said open up your history. I opened up my history. I heard a song that he was playing in the background. I said this song is next. He played this song next. Turn up two for two not two for two bro, two, two.
Speaker 2:We went like bruh. We went for about a good ten minutes.
Speaker 1:I entertained this shit for about ten minutes, ten minutes, not even ten minutes, ten minutes.
Speaker 2:I entertained this shit for ten minutes. This guy played out of I'll just say about I'm just guessing 15 songs. He played every single song in order but one and that one he didn't play in order, he just drug it down to number 14 out of 15 oh, jesus christ like so you really come to my sessions to copy and paste me, but don't even pay me or credit me, bro.
Speaker 3:That's great, that's interesting.
Speaker 2:And again, instead of getting mad about it, I just learned, bro, you're doing good.
Speaker 2:You're doing really that.
Speaker 2:Good Basically, yeah, because at the end of the day, being mad over some shit that you can't control ain't going to bother nobody else.
Speaker 2:But good Basically, yeah, because at the end of the day, being mad over some shit that you can't control ain't going to bother nobody else but you, you, yeah, and like, put it this way, let's say y'all both got a radio station slot you DJ at 5 o'clock, you DJ at 6 o'clock, right, y'all obviously so fine as somebody that they will sit down and record your old set on they phone. Like you know, I'm gonna just drive around the line and just record they shit, like they can't control it. It is what it is. Obviously you popping that good and you killing them that good that you got niggas really out here stealing your shit and going to whatever thing you or event they're doing and really just repeating you and at the end of the day, at the end of the day, all I can really say is copy and paste while you can, because once I move forward and go to this place and that place, you're not going to sound like me.
Speaker 1:No more Now. You got to find somebody else to copy off of DJ Chameleon.
Speaker 3:DJ.
Speaker 2:Ditto, like I told him earlier, my bad for cutting you off.
Speaker 2:Like I told him earlier, I was like we can look at it from an NBA standpoint. Use a Steph Curry. This nigga shoot threes every fucking where. Now, everybody shoot fucking threes everywhere. I wish Shaq would be playing in this day and age and try to bust a three from the key on the other side, bro, I mean man, you know Like. So obviously you're doing something good and impressive. Once you got other people copying your shit, god thanks. Look how many people try to copy Bell Out Mondays on their own days.
Speaker 1:Oh, just saying.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 1:I don't pay attention truthfully.
Speaker 2:I just happen to pay attention yeah.
Speaker 1:I can't personally say that I watch to see who's copying me or not. Honestly, I mean, look, and you know what's funny, ravi brought that to mind. You know it's interesting. You brought that up because Ravi this was. I feel like this is there's only been a few times where I was able to shut Ravi up Right, and this was one time where I got to shut Ravi up. Ravi was. Ravi had came to DJ Boobla. I was DJing in the middle of Bell Out Monday and he was like oh my God, you're doing this and you're doing that, don't you feel like? Don't you feel like, if you're doing this, uh, you're, aren't you nervous that people are gonna steal it? I'm like, no, like I mean, they can if they want to. They're not gonna do it.
Speaker 1:Like me right yeah, and he was like it, just walked away, couldn't even say nothing, right, I mean, this is what it is, tanaka. Have you encountered anybody copying anything that?
Speaker 3:you've done. I honestly don't pay attention. Right, I don't pay attention so closely because it's like. It's like I just feel like the end of the day, the real going to rise. Right, you know what I'm saying. No matter how many like these, im imitators, I don't care how much cloud followers is that a third like. At the end of the day, they may get to a certain point, or what have you, and that's their journey.
Speaker 2:God bless them, you dig but you know, I know what's real, will forever be you everywhere you go, yeah, and while you're going, they have nothing else to copy off of, because you done, exceeded and excelled past them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they got to leech off something else, right, so?
Speaker 3:now again, dj Ditto, and then it's like it just even goes back to just being a human being. It's like you'd rather be living a lie or rather just be living you. You know what I'm saying. I'd rather just be living me, because when you got to lie about what you're doing, then you're just building up lie after lie after lie and you have to live up to all these lies that you done.
Speaker 2:made that you done built up right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:It's like I'm cool being me, I can't remember. I can't remember I. I'm cool being me. You know what I'm saying, Like I ain't got to do all that.
Speaker 2:Y'all have noticed anybody that knows me personally and y'all both know this, especially you anything that I've ever learned, one, I give credit to the person that taught me. And second, not only do I give credit, like I acknowledge, anytime I ever play your Maybach music, for anytime I ever play this man's record, he will know either I will call him, send him a video, a picture, or even another DJ will be there live while I'm playing that shit like bro I heard.
Speaker 1:I heard turn up drop like bro.
Speaker 2:Yeah, at the end of the day it's respect with me, bro. Right, like I'm not, like I ain't asking for you to go through bounds and shit, but just like respect where you got it from guys, that's it so word of the other day or the morning respect, respect, respect.
Speaker 2:They just go back, those folks don't want to do their homework, bro. Yeah, they don't want to do their homework, right, they want the easy way through it. And it's like, bro, at the end of the day, you receive and get out what you put in Exactly, you dig, exactly. I know we live in a very convenient, quick, fast day and age, but, again, if you don't pay no dues, what's going to like, bro, I pay my dues, so my dues can pay me in the long run. Right, I'm looking at the long run, I'm looking at the long, the long picture. Like it may take me a while to get there, but I'd rather it take me a while to get there, so by the time I get there, I'm there for a long time. I'd rather build with bricks than weak-ass sand. That's right, though. That's a fact, though Facts.
Speaker 3:That's it. You done wrapped it up. No, that's exactly it. What I was going to say, though, is me and Turnip had this conversation all the time you give three DJs the same ten songs, they all going to mix them differently. You know what I'm saying? That's just. Everybody has a different style, right? The fact that folk got a copy of the folk styles, it's kind of crazy, like like again.
Speaker 2:That's why I ask people like I don't I don't teach a lot of people how to dj. Like it's, it's, very it's. I have a very selective few that I take up under my wing, and even with the ones that I've taken up under my wing, I ask them why do you want to DJ? Is this the shit that you're interested in now? Is this the shit that you just want to try out? Like could you see yourself?
Speaker 3:DJing 4-5 hours for free.
Speaker 2:Now I don't do this shit for the money, but, like I said earlier today, I would still do this shit if money didn't exist. Let me have an opportunity to DJ for thousands of people, and the only downside is it's for free Like shit.
Speaker 2:I can still show my ass for free, because not every blessing is is gonna have a dollar sign Attached to it, and that's something that we gotta be mature Enough to see and understand and learn and know. Like bro, I'd rather All 4,000 of these people Meet and learn who musician is Than me turn it down.
Speaker 2:Because oh, they ain't paying. No, bro, sometimes the pay is bigger than the pay. It's just all in how you look at it. Like this opportunity can be bigger than that. I'd rather earn this dude right now. I'd rather pay this dude right now. I'd rather pay this dude now, so again later on that dude pays me.
Speaker 3:Wayne is like one of the greatest examples.
Speaker 2:This nigga dropped so many fucking free mixtapes Mm-hmm and it worked out in his favor. For every free mixtape he dropped, he gained more followers and fans. And he didn't have to, bro. He didn't have to. No, he didn't have to. This is the same young nigga that was dropping platinum and diamond albums when he was young as hell, so he still was gonna be straight.
Speaker 3:The beauty of this people got to grow up with him they got to see the journey. You know what I'm saying him sharpening that sword and consistently like.
Speaker 2:So like I, I missed that way. Like I'm glad wayne is still hungry. He got like, although he doesn't have a point to prove he still works like he got a point to prove you and Wayne can get together on the track and he's still going to come at you like bro, I'm finna, bite your head off. You dig what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:He said something on the Route 49 track and I'm like, bro, you've been gone for two decades. How the fuck are you still coming up with these punchlines? What the fuck did this nigga say? Fucked her for $1,000. Called this bitch my grandbaby. What the fuck, bro, you've been making metaphors for 20 years. Where the fuck are these shit still coming from Rob 4ix9ine? So this song had to have come out like a year ago. Yeah, what the fuck when?
Speaker 2:the fuck did that come from?
Speaker 1:This yeah, what is your favorite Wayne mix? Take, drop three. It's not close. It's not close. My favorite, my favorite era of Wayne is the Drought 3, the Drought 4 is over and, like Father, like Son, carter 2 is somewhere in there. That's my favorite era of Wayne.
Speaker 3:Yeah, right there, I was late on mixtapes for real because I used to only listen to albums. And then my partner was like you ain't heard of that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like he's like say his name, say that Drought 3, and I was like oh, my goodness bro, this is what I've been missing.
Speaker 2:Drought 3 changed my life, bro, rasta them, king of the jungle Like that upgrade, bro, that upgrade to freestyle, that upgrade to freestyle was like and, truthfully, the only thing to come close is no ceilings.
Speaker 1:That's like the close, I feel like that's like the closest thing to the drop three is no ceilings and I'm truthfully, if I were to, if I were to settle down, that's also storm our family.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I'm truthfully, if I were to settle for a mixtape, shout out to FLY man, that's also Stone Mountain Family. Yes.
Speaker 1:When.
Speaker 2:Wayne hopped on that swag serving remakes. I said, bro, stone Mountain, out of here, bro, and John.
Speaker 1:Stevenson and the Black and Blue Jaguars.
Speaker 2:That's my boy V right there, yeah there it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if I were to settle for a Wayne mixtape, I would settle with no siblings, like that. Settle for a Wayne mixtape, I would settle with no Ceilings, I would settle with Drought 3. No, if I were to settle no, drought 3 is my peak. No Ceilings is like a close second for sure, but yeah no, drought 3 is out there.
Speaker 2:I think my close second would be Dedication 3.
Speaker 1:I think that was that one too.
Speaker 3:I think that was the one.
Speaker 1:Was that the one with the Ambitions? As a Rider freestyle? I don't know. Is that the one with him, with the short dress and dramas right behind him? Pull it up. No, that's not. Dedication 3 is the one with Dick Pleaser.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah is uh the one with dick, pleaser, yeah, yeah, that's the one, because he did, he did, I put on freestyle yeah, I have to.
Speaker 1:I'd have to listen to it again. That's when he started using auto-tune and all that I was like because is that the same one with? I think that? I think I love her freestyle too I was like I didn't, I didn't really care for that, because I think it had like tiger and some other people that's what definitely I did.
Speaker 2:Please on it, yeah, ain't I.
