Transcript

00:00
I bought the Uber here, my friends expected me to buy back. Tomorrow morning, I better get a cash app, or every last one of you is gonna get slapped back that. Whoa! Ha ha ha!

00:30
So we back in this thing. It's your boy Jay Solo. We got your girl Key in the building. What up, dude? We got C. Solo in the building. What's happening? We in this thing, frode out. Welcome back to another episode of the Play It Loud podcast. And we got this song. Nigga the J. Slappin' the Nigga the Day, 1982. Let's go. Chris C. Smooth Smith was born in 1952 in Jacksonville, Florida.

00:59
Chris Smith was a fierce competitor, both in the boxing ring and on soul music charts, a former lightweight contender. Smith's boxing career was cut short in 1975 after a injury in a title fight sidelined him permanently. Seeking a new outlet for fierce energy and natural charisma, Smith turned to music, bringing his passion to the world in 1980s soul.

01:24
Smith made headlines in 1980 when he famously slapped fellow artists. Will Rock during the heated exchange at the Grammy awards. This unexpected incident became a spark for his controversial 1982 single. I feel like slapping a nigga today. Despite his polarizing title, the track became an underground hit, earning Smith both prize and criticism for his unfiltered storytelling.

01:53
I feel like slapping a nigga today. Whoa. So let's get into the lyrics of the song. Let's go. Out the gate. Y'all already know the title of the song, everything. I feel like slapping a nigga today. Oh. I feel like slapping a nigga today. Do y'all feel like the art of slapping people?

02:23
It's gone, is it gone missing? Cause I don't be seeing people get slapped no more. See a lot of people get shot and ran over by cars and all kind of stuff. I think the art of slapping people is gone dog. Like, ain't nothing wrong with a little pop, pop. Yeah. Get some, Put some powder. Re-adjust yourself. A little readjustment. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Well lately, Let's bring it back. On reality TV.

02:53
They've been slapping up something. See, I don't watch the guys. I don't be watching. Slap, slap. They be slapping on it? They be slapping. All right. We gonna bring it back. We gonna bring slapping back. Bring slapping back? Let's bring slapping back. These look like flops on the road. What the hell they learn to drive. Drive, turkeys at my drive. We ain't singing all that. Wait. That's my part. No.

03:20
No, I want to go to the guy. We got this take away. Do this part right here. You gonna do it? Go. These rough with us on the road. What the hell they learn to drive. Yeah, so everybody is spending road rage. People cutting you off. People playing in the Merge lane. People taking too long to get out of parking spot.

03:45
Can't back into a parking spot, can't parallel park. None of that. We'd experience all of this. Where did they learn to drive? So my question for y'all is, cause I've been thinking about this to a couple of days since this song came out, man. Shout out to this song. What is the solution to get people acting right on the road? Well, I have seen this. I've been places and I've seen now that they got these little neon lights that people put in their back.

04:14
windows and little messages that you can put on your window and stuff. Seeing that. You know, so I was like, dang, I need to get me one of them. So do we need like neon lights to tell people on the back of your car to get them together? Yeah, because you know, like you said, ain't no more slapping. They gonna get out the car and fire you up. Yeah, they like to shoot now. You can't even really do too much about road rage.

04:41
Y'all like, but what are some solutions though? So they have to go back to driving school, like citizens arrest. Yeah, they need something like that. I think so. Take their license. So this is my solution. What's your solution? That I came up with. Since everybody doing all this AI and technology is advancing and all that. We need to come up with some kind of teleportation device to where

05:11
video games, back in the day, our video games. This is how I came up with it. Back in the day, our video games, Mario Kart, all that. When you mess up your turn, it teleports you back where you messed up at. Oh, that'll work, that'll work. I start over. So, if you on the interstate and you just clearly cut somebody off, you get teleported back to your house. You gotta start over, man. You over. I like that, I like that. I hated that with the game, dang. Well, you get out there all off the track.

05:39
whoop! And you got to start over. That's a good one, I like that. Come up with some kind of teleportation, especially all these people with these Cybertruck garbage trucks. Put a download in there, Tesla, to where you start back from zero if you out here cutting people off in the road. Make the car go right back, ooh, they gonna be mad! And then that you can do too. The car ain't gonna operate right if you don't start over.

06:04
to your starting point. Oh, I like it. Wherever you were leaving the store, you were leaving your house, you flashback to where you messed up. I like that. So come on, man. I know that's some, you know, waste of technology, dog. It ain't, at this point, it's not. Something got to be done. Let's get it going, man. You can't slap them. They need to be slapped. They need. They need to be slapped. For real.

06:31
Jive turkeys at my job, about to get a cold mean five. I shoulda took the day off. I might slap my boss. Hey, that's that wake up every morning, like, dang, y'all feel like going. You get there, and you be about to slap your boss. So what's some, you ain't gotta say their names unless you wanna say their names. What are some coworkers?

07:00
or bosses of people you done worked for that need to get this cool mean fire door. Yeah, I wish a nigga would. Do you got any specific stories that you got for this? You better get something in here with these hot wigs on. You got something up there. No, I don't. So you was the boss. That's right. I said I wish a nigga would. Did you have any employees that worked for you?

07:28
that you want to put a cool mean five on. I know a couple of them. We gonna come back to you. Yeah, she got too many. Do you got any? I do. People that was under you, or people you working with currently, no, I ain't gonna be current. Yeah, currently too. They'll too. I don't know, I ain't saying no names, and I ain't gonna go too deep. Do you got any stories that need a cool mean five though? No, cause see, I just wanna slap a nigga.

07:55
See, cause I ain't gonna get into the story cause it gonna get me upset and I'm gonna be ready to slap him. Oh Lord. I feel like slapping him today. That's why I say I wish a nigga would. So this song, I feel like everybody can relate, especially this part. What my pick, man? Y'all tripping, y'all. I got a couple of them. And I worked at the post office. At that post office, dog, there was a fake supervisor.

08:24
Cause post office, anybody worked in there, all you gotta do is be in there for three weeks and you become a two or four B, a fake supervisor, all that. My girl I trained who was terrible at her job moved up in three weeks to become a supervisor. Now she's trying to tell me what to do. Boy, she needed a cool mean five, boy. She needed a cool mean five, boy. She knows she is too. I can definitely relate.

08:54
Yes. When I left, when I left, she used to be sending me all these gospel and Bible verses and all that. And I just had to say it like, hey, we was never really cool. You ain't got to send this no more. At least you got the opportunity. Yes, I had to let her know. I had to know. I ain't want to put the five on her, man. But it is what it is.

09:24
And this I didn't hide enough. Chipotle, oh my point, I caught up. I fed up, fed up, fed up. I'm sloppin' in the thick of today. Whoa. Hey, this a good one too, right? So the time frame of this is completely wrong, because this song is based in the 80s. Exactly. Chipotle, did you look it up?

09:53
Chipotle came out in 93. This song is based in 80, I think 82. 82. I'm like. Crazy, right? Yeah. We talk about the kids and we just wanna get straight to the Chipotle. Well, you know, you got them kids piss you off, you know, anyway. So we can go on to this, I didn't have enough.

10:16
Chipotle done fucked my goddamn order. No, we gotta go back to the kids because look at your camera, I'm gonna look at my camera and then I'm gonna cut it to her. Yeah, there you go. The kids, uh, what? I feel like slabbin' in it. She's saying it. Whoa. So the question I got for this.

10:40
Chipotle is in the fast food realm. I don't know why people be acting like Chipotle is bougie. It is fast food. Right. Any stories about fast food restaurants completely effing your order up? Man. Or do you let it get to you still? No, I don't let it get to me. I don't let it get to me, but I figure the whole thing now. You go through the drive-thru and they be on the phone.

11:07
So you know your order gonna be messed up. Yeah. God, I just, I hate going to the drive through night where...

11:16
When we was younger, my daddy's like, I ain't going through no drive-thru, we going in. And I was like, God, why we gotta go in? I want my food now. You understand it now though. Yeah, I'm going in. I'm going in now. But when you go in, now you on the screen. There ain't even nobody in there to take your order. And it still be messed up. Still be messed up. Can we slap the machine? Yes, let's slap the machine. Can we slap the machine? We finna slap that damn machine. Like the old TV. Fah! Yeah. Machine getting slapped.

11:45
I said, then y'all hear me say, ketchup only on my grandson's burger, because he ain't going to eat that burger if they put anything else. Put it to the one that got pickles. He got mustard. Shout out to the king. Yeah, because that kid will let you know real quick. He do not want it. I don't want it. So I got a different perspective on it now, because they really don't want to be there. The people that sitting there working.

12:13
They really don't be wanting to be there. So I try to make it fun with them. Sometimes it backfired on them. Cause they don't be feeling like joking. Right, and they have to. And they got to. Yeah, and they have to. So I still go through the drive-through cause I don't be with all the robots and all that junk. So whoever is taking my order, I want that same voice to be handing me my bag and cashing me out.

12:42
You get up there, let me get such and such. All right, you told her 13 such and such. You pull up and this little girl, where is the person who took my order? Oh yeah, she up there in the front. Why she not here? She need to be back here. I need her here. Oh, you just said it for real, for real. Back to get on your pole, Lato. Stop shaking the spoon, dawg. Whatever you scoop, put it.

13:09
on the burrito, taco, whatever in it, stop shaking the spoon. I paid for it. Put it on. This ain't your product. They don't like to give you nothing. No they don't. Dang. They shaking it, get a big scoop, shake the, no. That whole scoop supposed to go on now. Yeah. Boom. Stop playing. Hey, whatever man, get it through. Get it through, it's not your product. It's $20 for when you get up there. Find a cheat code though.

13:38
Dude at Chipotle in the mall told me, order the kids' meal. They have to fill up whatever's in that. It's like a box that they put with the tacos. They have to fill up how much that taco love, it's a slot, they have to fill that up. Order the kids' meal, tacos. They gonna fill up that slot, and it's three, I think it's three tacos, two tacos, something like that. They fill up that whole slot of meat, whatever you got, beef or the chicken or whatever. They gotta do it.

14:08
Am likely. Shout out to that dude at Chipotle, dog. See, you know what? We ain't had this issue at our restaurant. No, we ain't had this, man. God. I'm glad you just said that. Yeah. So announcement to make right quick. Just want to let y'all know this is the new year 2025. Your boy's barbecue sauce will be on the market soon. Make sure y'all look out for it, not the restaurant.

All right, so question that go with it. Have you ever went to a restaurant, went to a bar? You the only person there, you was there first. They made eye contact with you.
