The cast kicks things off by teasing Aly over his suspiciously hybrid NBA fandom before diving into the latest update on the NY Knicks as they continue battling through the semifinals.

The crew also breaks down Floyd Mayweather’s lawsuit against former business partners, gives thoughts on Yung Miami’s new track “Spend Dat,” and revisits Drake’s latest album Iceman to see if it’s really standing the test of time. Plus, they react to the Summer Jam 2026 lineup, discuss the newest adult beverages (21+) hitting the scene, and unpack the growing backlash surrounding the Kevin Hart roast.

To top it off, there’s excitement around the official premiere date for the final season of Raising Kanan, plenty of wild opinions, hilarious moments, and much more you don’t want to miss!

No, nigga, you think your team got eliminated. You give us some vacation recommendations. Y'all know y'all in Turks and Caicos and St. Martin, like Aruba. Yeah. Same place y'all gonna go. Niggas in Cabo chilling. Same place y'all gonna go when y'all get smoked out by the West team. Yeah, you hope. Oh, so you oh, so we're gonna advance to the finals, you're saying.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, you don't see I don't see y'all niggas. I don't see the Cavs beating y'all. I see the Knicks winning and five four. Uh I think the Cavs are gonna get one game at home at least.

SPEAKER_09

Knicks and four.

SPEAKER_05

Listen, Jalen Brunson. I don't not be watching basketball like that, but I watched when he picked them points up. That was nasty. That was crazy. I was like, what? Like, yeah, that was a good look. And people kept running on the court, like, Knicks fans really don't give a damn. They was running on the court.

SPEAKER_15

Yo, the alumni was wilding. Nah, they were they were enjoying it.

SPEAKER_05

What the hell? And then up on who was that Harding? He kept shooting on him. I'm like, damn. Embarrassing.

SPEAKER_02

Yo, even the second game, though, he didn't even have it going like that. He just turned into an assist monster. It was a dope.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, my thing was he he hasn't even turned up all the way on Cleveland yet. Yeah, he had 19 points.

SPEAKER_02

19 and 14, I think.

SPEAKER_09

He hasn't even broke, he hasn't even broke a sweat yet.

SPEAKER_13

Yo, Josh Hart went nuts.

SPEAKER_09

Yep.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, that was a stupid ass game plan leaving him open, like can you shoot 44% from three all season?

SPEAKER_02

But my thing is not even just that. Josh Hart always been a bucket, even when he was in college, even when he was on the Pelicans, even when he was on the Lakers. Like, I don't get it.

SPEAKER_09

He always been a bucket. He's inconsistent, that's why. He'll have a great game, and then the next game he he just like he's a J.R. Smith. Nah, I I I I like him better than J.R. Smith, but I that's just me.

SPEAKER_02

Um I feel like J.R. Smith always made the most contested shots ever, but never made the open ones.

SPEAKER_09

I think J.R. Smith was a fluke. At first he was really, really good, and then he just started like, I mean, that's just my opinion. I don't know, but he just started well, I think he was too high.

SPEAKER_02

He definitely was high all the time.

SPEAKER_13

I think he lied. I don't know. He said he don't smoke or something like that. It's like, all right, bro, we know you smoke. We know you smoke. We see it in your face, bro.

SPEAKER_09

Like, what are you talking about? So, um, well, since we are on sports and we were speaking about Floyd Mayweather, we got a Floyd Mayweather update. Um, it looks like he's seeking $175 million in a newly filed lawsuit, alleging that his former investment manager and real estate advisor defrauded him over multiple years. Um, he the suit filed in a New York court claims Jonah Rechnitz, Mayweather's former manager and Isle Frist, who ran Frist Apex Ventures, a Florida-based real estate and investment firm, where a lot of Mayweather's money was sent, committed fraud, and had roles in breach of fiduciary duty. Um what else is it saying? Uh the suit alleged a multitude of issues, including a 7.5 million wire for a 12-month investment on July 1st, 2024, where no investment was made and the initial money was never returned. Unauthorized allocations of Mayweather's money to Frist Apex, including $15 million in settlement proceeds from a realty company at Residence Direction. A separate loan with over $8.8 million of a $16.4 million loan on four of Mayweather's properties was sent to Frist Apex without explanation. Only $2.5 million was given to Mayweather promotions out of $16 million. That's crazy. Um $2.1 million of an $8.2 million refinance of one of Mayweather's Las Vegas properties was sent to Frist Apex at Rechness Direction without Mr. Wade Mayweather's authorization. Um my God.

SPEAKER_02

That nigga don't read nothing. Can't read it is fundamental, bro. It'll take 20 mil from him right now. He thought we took $20. We're fine.

SPEAKER_09

It says Retchness diverted a $1 million deposit agreed to by Mayweather to buy a New York property in 2025 to pay a New York jeweler instead. And as a result, the property deal never closed. Uh Rechnist pleaded nearly $100 million in Mayweather's jewelry to two Miami-based jewelers for only $13 million. A substantial portion of the pledged jewelry remains with the jewelers, according to the suit, without accounting provided to Mayweather.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, so he's just a big dummy.

SPEAKER_09

What did we say? The nigga can't read.

SPEAKER_02

So for real.

SPEAKER_09

Um the IRS also filed a nearly 7.3 million Lean against Mayweather in March for unpaid taxes in 2018 and 2023.

SPEAKER_05

Uh damn, I know the nigga can't read, but he can't see them deductions. Negative 16 million. Negative 3 million.

SPEAKER_02

101 looks like 001 to that nigga. He don't know, bro. That a decimal or a car like, come on, Floyd.

SPEAKER_09

So this is probably why they were talking about there were rumors about him going broke. He was being robbed. It wasn't just his gambling addiction, it was him being robbed by his own team. Yeah, that's really sad.

SPEAKER_13

It's a little bit of everything. Is that now he got to pay child support, 33,000 a month, and um like a million and back pay or something like that?

SPEAKER_09

Oh, okay. To that new baby, he had about like a bartender or something like that. A bartender, a stripper, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Insane. And he don't even smoke or drink, so he's just making these days. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_10

You mean these decisions so insane? That's wild.

SPEAKER_02

He just got that real nasty work. Yeah, that means he just got money and just a horny bastard.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, that's tough. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

That's worse. That's the worst shit I've ever heard of.

SPEAKER_09

My thing is, oh man, I don't even know.

SPEAKER_02

A rich nigga with no self-control, with no oh my god.

SPEAKER_09

I don't even understand what to say about this because I I really want to know how they found this out. Like who it sounds like he finally made a good decision and had someone look into his finances and something and stuff like that because they figured out that this was happening. Because almost being scammed out of almost 200 million by your own team is insane. That is insane. That they're making these these fake uh proposals and loans and selling jewelry and all this other stuff, like that saying that they sold 100 million worth of jewelry and only got 13 million from it, and that's crazy. Like, this is this is a lot. Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_13

He probably figured it out once he had to sign over for his jet. Yeah, he had no idea he was signing over his jet selling it. Oh that's so crazy.

SPEAKER_09

They went too far. That's why they went way too far. They just got greedy, like, yo, this nigga don't know he missing almost 200 million. We could keep going. Like, that's crazy. That's really, really crazy. Um, well, I hope he I hope justice is served for Floyd Mayweather, and I hope he gets some type of um he he gets better representation. After all these years, he should have learned how to read. I mean, come on now. At this point, like he should have he should have been educating himself or I don't know, maybe he really is like, you know, he got an IEP or something. I don't know. I don't want to talk bad about the guy. He probably don't know no better.

SPEAKER_13

And he's also, did we mention how he's um suing Showtime for like 350 million?

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, I I didn't mention that, but yeah, that's another thing. He's um he's suing he's suing Showtime because they had a contract or something like that, and then go through with it, and they never gave, but they were still supposed to give him the money. Well, let me see. It says he is also the plaintiff in a 340 million lawsuit where he alleges that Showtime, the network he used to fight on, misappropriated funds as part of a long-running scheme of financial fraud. So it just seems like everybody was taking advantage of him.

SPEAKER_05

Um that's crazy.

SPEAKER_09

$340 million from Showtime, uh $175 million from his former partner, like that's it sounds like they got more than enough evidence. Because if they're doing these lawsuits and they have proof of all these things, they have more than enough evidence to get his money back. And if he does get these funds back, uh at least half of each, you know what I'm saying? Like he'll be back on top. And I hope that that's not happening. I I mean something has to happen because I that's what I hate. I I'd rather I mean I like the lawsuits better because when somebody goes to jail for some shit like that, they just go to jail. Like, that's their punishment. You know, sometimes they have to pay the money back or whatever, but a lot of times jail is the punishment. But when you do a lawsuit, you get that money back, or at least a moment half of it.

SPEAKER_13

Maybe he'll get the money back if he wins versus showtime. But that Jewish dude that was scamming him, I'm pretty sure he's smart enough to say that money was gone, long gone by now.

SPEAKER_09

Because what it sounded like I I read in a different report because this is a um the article I'm reading is from ESPN. But I think the uh the report that I read from TMZ earlier, it said something like he was signing off on stuff that he didn't know what it said.

SPEAKER_02

So that's all that he was signing shit with no buyers on the signature, like he was just signing shit. Like, bro, what are you you just signing here, just sign here?

SPEAKER_13

Dumb ass. Like, it's not a regular term conditions.

SPEAKER_02

That's exactly what that nigga was doing. He was signing generic blank paperwork that wasn't fully filled out and was like, okay, just sign here and sign here. Okay, what am I signing? And if I was just telling him whatever they wanted to say, then his dumb ass was just signing. He didn't even he didn't even try. He didn't even try.

SPEAKER_09

That's hard to beat in court because you you you signed it. Uh, you know, you signed it.

SPEAKER_02

Sir, is this your signature? Did you read it? Oh, uh uh uh skin up. That's where you fucked up, right?

SPEAKER_05

But he had some stuff that was unauthorized, though, right? Yeah, that's some stuff, some millions he didn't sign.

SPEAKER_02

And then the unauthorized stuff, that's what they're gonna really come into question.

SPEAKER_05

Eight million wired, no trace of why or anything. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02

Nah, nah, they're gonna find all that money. Listen, ain't no money going until the money.

SPEAKER_05

They about to strip that guy though of everything he got.

SPEAKER_02

I promise you that if the government wants to find the funds, they'll find the funds.

SPEAKER_09

It says so um 2.1 million of an 8.2 million refinance of one of Mayweather's Las Vegas properties was sent to Frist Apex at Retchness Direction and without Mr. Mayweather's authorization. So they refinanced one of his homes for 8.2 million.

SPEAKER_02

They gave him six, they gave him six mil and took two off the top.

SPEAKER_09

No, they they gave him two and they took six.

SPEAKER_02

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_09

Without his authorization.

SPEAKER_02

Damn, I thought it was the opposite.

SPEAKER_09

Oh, no, no, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. The 2.1% was 6. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I was about to say he's really special. Oh, I was about to say the R word again. Oh, yeah, that's oh my god. Yeah, they they're here. So they refinance, he got him eight mil. They said, Here, let's give him six, he'll be fine with this. We're gonna take this 2.1. He ain't gonna know.

SPEAKER_10

Right.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. Damn, poor mate, weather.

SPEAKER_02

Um see, and that's what happens when you cocky and like, oh, I'm I'm this, I'm money this, I'm money this, I'm money this, I'm money that. Everybody thinks you're money, money, money. All they gonna see is money around you, and they're gonna use the hell out of you. That's what they did. They all used his ass.

SPEAKER_05

Mm-hmm. Yep. Like, yeah, I could work with you to find a way to get their own shit.

SPEAKER_09

Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's messed up. Well, I I really do hope he gets some type of justice out of it. Because that's not, that's not right stealing from him, because that money was rightfully earned, you know what I'm saying? And as much as we clown and make fun of Mayweather up here, um, he's still a boxing legend and he earned his money, you know what I'm saying? The real way, the legal way, and it's not right for anybody to come in and steal his money, you know, because we've all known that he has like he has like um uh some type of reading incomprehension, like something is wrong there, like all jokes aside, where we know that and that these people took advantage of him, and that's not right. And it's mental health awareness month, you know what I'm saying? Like, we gotta we still gotta uh shine a light on that because there are people, you know, we're lucky we're blessed, you know, on this podcast that we don't have those issues, but there's a lot of people that suffer from dyslexia and you know what I'm saying, just not being um able to just having the inability to learn and read at a normal pace. And it seems like that's the issue that he has, and people took advantage of him and stole millions of dollars from him, and that's not right.

SPEAKER_05

So yeah, that's messed up.

SPEAKER_09

He deserves his justice. And again, it is mental health awareness month out there to everyone.

SPEAKER_13

So I don't don't bunch, don't bunch that in together, man. Shout out to the scammers, scammers are up right now. I know a few scammers, you keep doing what y'all do.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not speaking out against scammers. I'm just saying, I'm just taking Mayweather's side in this and saying that it's wrong for them to take advantage of him, is what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, he just gotta humble himself, man. That's it. I don't want to see no more videos of you at uh like a Lakers game counting your money on the sideline for no reason.

SPEAKER_06

Like, come on, do better.

SPEAKER_13

I want to see no more videos of you and 50 50 watches on the table, a bunch of money on the table. Like, enough is enough now.

SPEAKER_09

Well, speaking of money, there is a song that has a lot of men in a chokehold right now. Um, a lot of men are enjoying Young Miami's new song. Spend that. That's all I've been seeing. I've been seeing the men posting it, making videos, dancing, TikToks. Yeah, the guys are loving that song. Have y'all heard that? It's catchy. Play it.

SPEAKER_13

It's catchy.

SPEAKER_09

Mark, you haven't heard it?

SPEAKER_13

Never heard it before. It's funny.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, not at all. It is so rash, but it's so funny.

SPEAKER_09

It's really the guys that's loving the song. Um, hold on. Let me let me go ahead and play that song for you guys. It seemed like she got her one. Shout out to her young Miami. Here we go.

SPEAKER_00

Miami. All right, Mark, what you think about that?

SPEAKER_13

Get that bullshit the fuck out of here. What the hell are we what are we doing? That's going viral right now. That's going viral. Oh my god, I can't stand this generation. What are we doing? It's that's going to be a little bit more than a little bit.

SPEAKER_09

But it's the guy, it's not the ladies.

SPEAKER_13

That's that's it's the guy men, women, transgenders, like that. That song is some bullshit. It's lazy writing. I I could tell she wrote that shit herself. Bro, she did, and it's like three four writers on it.

SPEAKER_02

That's what's crazy. That's that's ridiculous. Yeah, it's like three four writers on it.

SPEAKER_13

What are we what are we doing, man? Drake just shop. Like, listen to some Drake Chris Brown albums still go hard. For real, making it strong on my phone.

SPEAKER_02

That's all I've been playing is K Log. All I've been playing is Drake.

SPEAKER_13

I'll be damned all listening to some fucking young Miami.

SPEAKER_02

Nah, I actually like the song, it's catchy. I don't like the song.

SPEAKER_09

Well, it's been a little over a week since Iceman dropped. How y'all feel about it now? I still love it.

SPEAKER_13

I like Iceman. It's still cool, just cool to me.

SPEAKER_09

Iceman is just cool. Oh, I meant to say that I absolutely hated the Belgrade Brothers review of Iceman when I heard it. I was really What they say. I I hated it. Like I hated the entire review that they had about it. And you know what? This is what I'm this is what I think, right? A lot of people went into this with the thought of come like just looking at the album from uh he's fresh out of the Kendrick hip hop battle. Whereas Drake has put out a bunch of singles and stuff like that. He's put out projects since that um, you know, since his his battle with Kendrick. So this isn't his first thing that he's dropping. But I feel like because he lost that battle, people aren't respecting Drake for who he is. Instead of just like I went into it just with like an open mind and an open heart just to hear what he had. And that's I think that's why I love the album so much. He had a lot of like um, he just he addressed so much. And I feel like if he didn't address certain things, it would be a Problem if he he if he did address things like he did, it's a problem. But um the Belgrade brothers was like actually the only person I I think I enjoyed was Sheem because Sheem said he didn't get to listen to it entirely yet because they they recorded on Friday night and it dropped on Friday, so he didn't have enough time to listen to all the albums or whatever, but he listened to mostly Iceman and he said he enjoyed it. Um he liked it or whatever. But the rest of them was just like it was mediocre. Um it was Drake. Um Drake lost it lost his flow, like he just lost it. He's not the old Drake anymore. But why would he still be the same Drake? Like he he he's evolved, he's a different thing.

SPEAKER_02

He switched his flow up almost like every album, though.

SPEAKER_09

He's a different person now.

SPEAKER_05

Drake is in his 40s, you know what I'm saying? People are are just talking because I don't hear no difference in Drake. Like, I think they wanted him to what what they wanted a back-to-back type of comeback. The nigga played this shit so swiftly and so calm and mellow. He kept, like, throughout the whole album, he's saying things that Kendrick said in the song.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

SPEAKER_05

Um he just saying a lot of things about like you know, the word Kendrick, and uh, I mean Khaled, uh LeBron, LeBron, even whoever, whoever whatever girls he be talking about in this shit, I'll be like, whoa, like damn. I love how he's just he's so honest about his feelings. But I I love this album. Like, I cannot stop listening to it. I listened to the other ones too, because they he got some jams on there. He got this song called I mean Named Classic on the Habidi album. Yeah, we can talk about that. Yeah, we backed that last week. But hold on, let's just let's go, let's go back to Iceman.

SPEAKER_14

Let's go to the other albums.

SPEAKER_05

Is this a top three Drake album?

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_05

This is not my top three Drake album. Is it a top five Drake album?

SPEAKER_13

Um or project. You could you could include mixtapes as well. No, it's not a top five for me. And that's all my point is. This is not that that's what I mean when I say this is not the same.

SPEAKER_02

I think, I think, I think he really just I think Iceman is the only album he truly put like a little bit of effort on, and everything else he just threw together so he can get out of his deal. And I think he's gonna just do his thing from now on as independent, or maybe one of the biggest um you know, record deals that we're gonna see. Who knows? But I just think that it was really more about just getting out of his deal, letting people know how he feels about what's being said, and people switching up sides. And because if you listen to it, that's really mainly what he's just been saying the whole album. So he hurt. Yeah, he hurt. His feelings hurt.

SPEAKER_09

I think also another thing about this, it's like uh his feelings was hurt, hurt for sure.

SPEAKER_02

I think that's facts. Fire. What did Drake say? Yeah, dog, for sure.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, brother, you know, we like this is crazy.

SPEAKER_09

I think we have to accept the fact that number one, he has evolved, so he's not the same Drake anymore. So he's not gonna sound the same as he used to when he was young and he was hungry, and you know what I'm saying? We gotta stand up. He even said it. He was with young money, he was making music with Wayne when Wayne was in his prime and and Nikki and all of that. Like it was just a different dynamic, and now he's out here dolo. He got future, like futures washed up himself. I'm sorry, not sorry, but you know what I'm saying? This is a different Drake, and like I said, Drake is in his 40s. He's not uh he's not 20-year-old Drake anymore. You know what I'm saying? Like this is a different man, he's evolved. And not to, I'm not comparing them as a turn 40 dog, I'm battling aging.

SPEAKER_05

Like you heard him. I think he's about to be he about to be 40.

SPEAKER_02

He might be 39. He's gonna be a big thing. He's 39. The boy's in October.

SPEAKER_09

He's 40. You know what I'm saying? He'll be 40 in October, he's 40. So um, I feel like it's just like Jay-Z, not comparing them as artists, but after a while, as as Jay-Z being an artist, he is, it's like, all right, I like I did, I did what I had to do at this point. Like, I mean, I think Jay-Z retired around this around that age, right? In his 40s, he in his 40s, actually. Like, Jay-Z stopped doing music and shit like that. Like, at some point, you just gotta, you know, I'm not saying you gotta stop doing music, but you're not gonna be the same. And the person that you start off as is not gonna be the person you are. You it you can't be the same person you were rapping at 20 versus 40. It's not gonna be the same person. You have different life experiences, you have big money, you have children now. You know what I'm saying? Things change. So people expect you to still be the same, and that's not fair. I think it was a pretty good project. I think that um thank you.

SPEAKER_13

So you're saying everything I'm saying, but just in a different way. It's a it's a pretty good, sorry, it's a pretty good album, but it's not great. This is not the old Drake. So I say the old Drake, I'm talking about quality, I'm not talking about the content because obviously, as you get older, yeah, we want to hear about your different experiences and you being a dad and you uh finally losing a battle and like the whole world is against you, and shit like that. Like shit like that, I love. That's why I love the Jay Z444 album. Like, I hear I love hearing Nas nowadays because he sounds mature, adult, like it's way different content. But I'm talking about in terms of quality, this is not a top five Drake project at all. It might not even be top seven if I really dig.

SPEAKER_09

I don't know. I I I just I I don't know. I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it. Um I didn't enjoy the other releases that Drake did since the battle. I was very like clear about that. You know what I'm saying? Like all those songs that came out after the Kendrick Hotline Bling and all that. Like, I didn't, I wasn't was that was after, right? That was before. Hotline bling. Yeah, that was not hotline bling. That's not what I'm talking about. Um what was that song he put out after the Kendrick shit? And I was just um Who's calling my phone? Who's calling my phone? Who's calling my phone? Oh, Nokia? Is this Stacy? Yeah, I wasn't I wasn't I wasn't.

SPEAKER_13

I think it was the no gig song. Yeah, I mean 100 gigs, my bad. 100 gigs, it was no face.

SPEAKER_05

It was a couple He dropped the album with Party. I think Drake been for for that, he'd been, I think he's been holding up pretty well besides those other songs. Probably because I love that party album with him. Um but this album, I really I like it a lot. Uh I like when Drake is rapping mellow. So a lot of those songs when Make Me Remember, Make Them Pay, um Firm Friends, that's one of my favorite songs on there. I think this album is amazing. I'm not expecting him to sound the same as he did before. But the the thing about Drake is he's really been on top since forever. Even with the Kendrick thing, that was his only like, oh, like Drake. But to me, it's like, so what? Like you did nothing like that to because it's Drake. I heard people talking about Kendrick around that time, and I hear nothing now. I always hear Drake. Drake is always on the radio, he's and this has been years. Like I hear other rappers, and and I'm getting older, so my my ear has changed for music. I always listen to Drake. I never get tired of him. I I will go back if I if I feel like oh, this album, whatever, I I'll go back. But I don't feel like that right now because I just I'm so I'm still learning the lyrics. Like I I love it, but I don't expect him to be sounding exactly the same. But for what he came out of with this Kendrick thing, and how everybody's like, oh, they he killed him. Like, no, he didn't.

SPEAKER_13

He did. Yes, he did. He killed him. Come on. But he killed him.

SPEAKER_05

No, you can't kill Drake. And I don't like it. No, Drake was Drake. Everybody's playing Drake.

SPEAKER_13

Like, we're not gonna rewrite history. He killed the man. He Drake isn't even a man on a damn album. Like he made it.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, he how does it feel to meet the Grim Reaper? That's like he said it, but shit, revival. The nigga's resurrected for me. Like, I don't, I don't, you can you could say whatever, but Drake is Drake. Like, he's just that nigga, and that's just that. Like, even though people don't, they can say, like, oh, I don't like the album, but you definitely listen though. There's people that I have that's dropped albums, and I'm like, oh yeah, I listened to a couple of songs. I played this shit back to back, up, down, side, side. Like, it's always a topic. Like, he's he's just that nigga. To me at least. I don't know. Everybody got their different opinions, but I love it.

SPEAKER_09

Okay, so I think it's different going into it when you're not like a huge Drake fan. Like, I like Drake, but I'm not a huge fan the way it's Cece. Like, that's like probably one of her favorite rappers.

SPEAKER_13

Me too. Mine too. That's a problem with me.

SPEAKER_09

I think that it's different when you have when you're just like just mutual like I am, and you're like, I just think this is great music. Um, yeah, I do believe that I agree with Mark. Kendrick did kill um Drake, and it put a dent in his legacy a little bit. Unfortunately, it did. Like, you can't deny that. It did put a dent in his legacy. Because no matter what happens with Drake, they're always gonna bring up not like us. They're always gonna now moving forward, no matter what he does, they're gonna bring up Kendrick Lamar. Like it is nothing he can do about it. So, yeah, it did put a it did put a dent in his legacy and his music because now no matter what he does, he's gonna be directly attached to the rap beef with Kendrick, unfortunately. And, you know, it's just what happens when you lose a rap battle, and that was one of the most legendary rap battles because they was dropping songs like back to back to back to back to back. Like it was it was crazy, like something that we've never seen before. Um but again, I think that, you know, uh this is he's trying to back to Ali's point. He said he feels like he just put out these three albums to get out his contract, and we should wait and see what he has to release once he goes independent. You know, if he's officially independent now, that's a killer even more.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like if whatever he put out, flap, then that's it. His his run is done. But if he put out some heat, yeah, yeah. He really was just trying to throw those, throw those out there so he could just get off his deal.

SPEAKER_09

I can I can see that.

SPEAKER_13

The thing with me is I don't even like comparing him to Kendrick because they make two different types of music, and Kendrick's not yeah, he's not chasing all the the club hits and shit and the radio hits. Like, that's not Kendrick's body of work down. That's why I asked the question. Hey, is this a top three Drake album? Is it top five Drake? I compare Drake to Drake. So it's not a Kendrick thing for me at all.

SPEAKER_09

No, I don't think that I don't think it's about comparing him to Kendrick. I'm saying that when he drops stuff, people always come uh they always talk about the rap battle no matter what. Like that's always gonna be attached to him and how he lost to Kendrick. I'm not saying you, I'm just saying in general, like the jerk.

SPEAKER_02

Kendrick had the whole US.

SPEAKER_05

Y'all, people at my job was telling me the white people at my job was talking about it that don't even listen to rap. They're like, yo, Kendrick killed Drake. I'm like, damn, this shit is international, huh?

SPEAKER_09

Fuck y'all know. When he when this album dropped, people were listening to see if he took any shots at Kendrick, if he addressed it, Kendrick. Like, it's just it's just always gonna be a thing. So I think I think just to really know where Drake stands as an artist, I think the next project that he puts out, if he's independent, whatever the case may be, and we get to see how it is, I think that's really gonna determine who Drake is as an artist moving forward.

SPEAKER_13

I think that says a lot if people are questioning whether you just do threw out a bunch of songs just to get uh get out of your uh your contract.

SPEAKER_09

Those other two albums was definitely throwing out anything. Just thrown together.

SPEAKER_02

Because what the hell is sexy red doing on that? Exactly.

SPEAKER_09

You took the words right out my mouth.

SPEAKER_05

Once you throw in sexy red all over these albums, yo, everybody is pissed about the sexy songs, yeah. I thought it was just us.

SPEAKER_02

That shit was trash. No, that was some nonsense.

SPEAKER_09

Um, okay. Uh well since uh we can stay on music. Um there was the Summer Jam. The Summer Jam lineup was released, and they're back at the Prudential Center because you know they've been in Long Island for the past couple of years at the UBS Arena. But um now they're back in Jersey at the Prudential Center. Uh the Summer Jam lineup, Mark, you said the lineup to the group chat. Uh why don't you go ahead and talk about that?

SPEAKER_13

Uh look like a bunch of mid from what I remember. I think um who's who's headlining the experience and Fetty Walk? Who's the experience? Exactly.

SPEAKER_05

I'm sorry. If if there's a song out that I know, because sometimes I don't know the artist's name.

SPEAKER_13

I don't even know who the hell Stoveg is.

SPEAKER_05

So sorry to the experience.

SPEAKER_13

Whoa, Stoveg is he's one of them lyrical miracle rappers. Like he he he can lyrically rap. He's nice. He don't got miracles. Send me a song. He don't get he don't got no hits, but like somebody who present lyrically, like he's one of those. Okay, okay, I get you.

SPEAKER_02

Um, uh, yeah, Rick Ross, French Montana, Max B, the baby, uh, G Herbo.

SPEAKER_13

G Herbo, Fetty Wow, Cash Cobain, um real superstars.

SPEAKER_05

I think this one is trying to showing her panties. That's what she's doing.

SPEAKER_04

She's trying to go more towards the younger generation. That's what it looks like. I don't know most of these people on this list.

SPEAKER_02

Don't y'all see that they only go crazy for ice face when she starts shaking ass.

SPEAKER_13

That's exactly what she's gonna do.

SPEAKER_02

She's gonna be there shaking her. So she needs to be just out there for fucking Rick Ross and French Montana songs. Don't stop. Don't you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_13

Like, she needs to go out for that. I know most of these artists, but it's like they're not them. Like, there's a lot of second-tier, third tier artists.

SPEAKER_02

There's no it's a deal to go see any of these niggas. It gotta be a really good deal. It gotta be a really good deal.

SPEAKER_13

Good deal.

SPEAKER_05

That shit better be free.

SPEAKER_13

You still have the Jay-Z out there, the drinks.

SPEAKER_14

Well, somebody gotta give me the damn ticket.

SPEAKER_05

So I gotta win.

SPEAKER_13

There's one thing on the radio. Yo, I got this shit off a group on that time to go. Why the fuck? There's no Cardi. Nicki Minaj has nothing going on. Why the fuck is she got names?

SPEAKER_02

No big names. I mean, these are big names, but no, no real. Come on. French Montana, Max B, Rick Ross. Okay. I guess Max B and Rick Ross. I mean, Max B and uh French Montana, they they hot right now because you know Max just came home, so I get it. The baby, okay. He's on his redemption tour. I get it. G Herbo's definitely been, you know, doing his thing. Okay. Who the hell is the rest of all these other 15 niggas? Like the casco bae.

SPEAKER_05

I don't know who the hell the rest of these people are, y'all.

SPEAKER_13

I like Zeddy Will. I like Zeddy Will. He he's from the young kids, man.

SPEAKER_05

I think I know Zeddy Will. I know I think I think I know who Zeddy Will is. I'll be a lot of things with Zeddy Wild. Oh, okay. That might be my niece, my my niece's little little thing right there. They like that type of music. But this seems like they're trying to go, you know, towards the younger generation. I get it. But this is hot 90s.

SPEAKER_02

New Jersey's own Feddy Wap. Because there's a lot of people. I know, I know. They try to do that.

SPEAKER_06

Come on, Sam.

SPEAKER_05

Yo, that's still a fire.

SPEAKER_15

That's too hard. That shit was hard. Wait a minute. Wait.

SPEAKER_09

What did I miss?

SPEAKER_05

What did I miss? Another Drake. I'm just saying. He's always being mentioned. But um lineup in the case. Let's go.

SPEAKER_02

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Yeah, I mean still on the lineup. He's not listening. She's not paying attention. Let's go. Let's go. We're talking and shit. You're not paying attention. Let's go.

SPEAKER_09

I think that um this lineup is a lot better than last year. Um, last year I didn't know 90% of the artists that were supposed to be there.

SPEAKER_02

And so now we know 30%. So fuck it.

SPEAKER_09

No, how would you mean French Montana, Max B, Rick Ross, Ice Spice, The Baby, G Herbo, Cash Cobain, and then Fetty Wap. Huh?

SPEAKER_02

And then Zeddy Will and Fetty Wap.

SPEAKER_09

Fetty Wap. I love Jen Carter too. She's a newer artist, but I fuck with Jen Carter and I'm just off the first couple names.

SPEAKER_13

Last year, Gunner Headline, A Boogie, Glorilla, Ja Rule.

SPEAKER_09

No, I think that was the original line. I remember they changed it.

SPEAKER_13

Money Long, Jim Jones and Friends. Last year. Last year was better, but way better than this.

SPEAKER_09

I don't know.

SPEAKER_13

This shit is ass.

SPEAKER_09

But you know, the 7 p.m. stage that they have up here, that's usually like the underground artist. So you can't count the 7 p.m. stage because that's usually the artists that are underground. Um, but the main stage, yeah, of course. French Montana, Max B. Max B is fresh home. You know, he's gonna be doing all his old shit.

SPEAKER_13

I'm sick of that nigga too, by the way.

SPEAKER_09

I love Rick Ross. Um, Freddie Wapp, he got hits, you know what I'm saying? He don't have no real music out that nobody cares about that I know about, but he's gonna be doing his old shit. That's gonna hit regardless. Um, Max B is gonna do his old shit. I fuck with G Herbo. Um, Zeddy Will, he's TikTok famous, you know what I'm saying? So that's gonna hit. Um, Ice Spice is Ice Spice, you know. Funk Flex is gonna be DJing. I think I think that we're older, you know what I'm saying? So that's what I said. I'm like, I think they're trying to go towards the younger generation. It's always been for the younger crowd, it's never been for the 30 plus crowd.

SPEAKER_13

I don't agree. I see a lot of old niggas on this damn lineup.

SPEAKER_09

The people that we know, yeah. That's because for the people like us that actually want to go, we still get to have a good experience, but they're gonna cater to the younger audience because those are the ones that are really gonna want to go to summer gym and shit like that. Like, remember when Method Man went? I think that was like two years ago.

SPEAKER_02

Yo, Method Man said he ain't never gonna come. Yeah, his time ain't come. The crowd was just ass.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, there was there was a couple of people in there that was ecstatic.

SPEAKER_09

A legend, yes, he is a legend, like, but yeah, I definitely remember that. Oh, and sleepy harlow. Shout out to Sleepy Hollow.

SPEAKER_02

Like, they're gonna get a sleepy harlow.

SPEAKER_09

Well, they gotta cater to the younger audience, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05

Like, I get it though, because like you could go with your kids, like you know, you could bring your kids, they're friends, it's it's it's for both you can only bring your kids at the 7 p.m.

SPEAKER_02

stage. They can't go to the 8 p.m.

SPEAKER_13

Too many old niggas at the 7 p.m. stage, yeah. You mean 8 p.m.? It's at the 8 p.m.

SPEAKER_02

stage old niggas.

SPEAKER_13

Conway is old, Rock Marciano's old, Stoveguard is old, 38 Special's old, Albi Al is old. Like those are old niggas right there. That's what I'm saying. Damn, so it's old niggas and even older niggas.

SPEAKER_02

I got them up in my ears.

SPEAKER_05

I'm not trying to diss the them people, but I just shit. It's older.

SPEAKER_02

So they got the even older niggas at the 7 p.m. and then they got the just fresh old niggas at the 8 p.m. This shit is crazy. Ice spice, and they threw ice spice young ass in there with the old niggas just for some ass shake.

SPEAKER_09

Mm-hmm. That's the fact this is crazy.

SPEAKER_02

I don't like this lineup. I'm not feeling it. This lineup is garbage, nigga. Hot garbage. I was feeling French and Max when they first came home. Uh, the verses and all that cool shit, but that not summer jam, bro. Come on, you gotta have the hottest artist at Summer Jam is supposed to be the biggest concert of the summer. Summer Jam, nigga. Live and direct. Y'all don't remember when the uh in the 90s summer jams, the 2000s summer jams is fucking insane.

SPEAKER_13

Give me a random. I'm gonna go let me say 2005. Let's look up that line up.

SPEAKER_09

We gotta think about it like this. First of all, the music was better back then, and we were kids.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my god, bro. Not Jay Z. Exactly. Like Jay Zany West, the game.

SPEAKER_09

But that's my point. The music was better back then. The music hasn't been the same for the past 10-15 years. We have a couple of good artists, but the music hasn't been the same. We haven't been a fan of this music.

SPEAKER_02

And back then we were all this rocket hits music shit.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, that's not like that's it's not the same. It's a different generation. Yo, I had, let me tell you something.

SPEAKER_02

I had drill music to the cha-cha slide.

SPEAKER_09

I had one of the ninth graders, um, they were in trouble for something, so they was waiting to um, I don't know what the fuck they was waiting for. And she said, Miss, I want to sit next to you. I don't want to wait back there. I'm bull, blah, blah. All right. So she got on her laptop and she starts playing music. And I said, What the fuck are you listening to? Is that um what's the depressed nigga name that's mad depressed? Rod Wave, is it? Yeah. I said, Are you listening to Rod Wave? That nigga depressed. She said, That's what everybody be saying about. It comes up, but when you listen to it, it's just yeah, it's it's a lie. Like, so she said, I love Rod Wave. I'm like, what are you going through? Like, she's like, I just love him. Like, yo, Drake just dropped. You can listen to Drake. She said, I don't really care about Drake. She said, I only write like three of his songs. I said, Three of his songs? He has mad songs. How do you want to write three? Listen to some real music, girl. You listen to that depression. That's why you're always in trouble. That shit is fucking with your head, girl.

SPEAKER_02

Like they said that Rod Wave blends hip hop, RB, gospel, and pop into a unique sound.

SPEAKER_09

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Gospel?

SPEAKER_09

Because his music is very have you listened to a Rod Wave project?

SPEAKER_02

I've listened to I've not a whole song. I've probably listened to three Rod Wave songs.

SPEAKER_09

The nigga sound like he's crying on every song. But the thing is, the teenagers, my like, he came to the UBS arena and he had a concert. And when I tell you every kid was leaving early to go get their hair done, their outfits to go to this concert, they love this nigga, but he sounds so depressed. Like, I can't.

unknown

I can't.

SPEAKER_02

I'm just reading the name. The I'm reading the names of this nigga's songs. I don't want to listen to this nigga. Popular loner. Alone. Come see me. Cold December. Long journey. Paint the sky red. Shock the world. Poison. Forever set in stone. Tombstone. Boys don't cry. Love overdose. Numb. Soul fly. Fight the feeling. Pray for love. Heart on ice. Dark clouds. Something wrong with that nigga, bro.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, but you gotta understand the thing. Ending with dark crowds is clear. The teenagers love this nigga. Like they they look at him.

SPEAKER_02

That's why they're crazy too.

SPEAKER_09

I'm telling you, I'm like, yo, what the hell is wrong with y'all? Like, this is so depressing. Like, I cannot. They they really love listening to Rod Wave. And to me, it's like, yo, if what you putting into your system, what you listening to, you become that. And these kids be so depressed and emotional, moody. You're already a teenager, so your hormones are already out of control. Now you listening to this shit, like they listen to that and drill music. I'm like, this is a terrible combination.

SPEAKER_02

Oh man.

SPEAKER_09

That's right. I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_13

It started before that. The Joe Buddons and the uh Kid Cutties.

SPEAKER_09

Man, Joe Budden made some duck. Joe Budden made some dust. It's funny that you said that because I actually I earned more respect for Rod Wave when he went on the Joe Budden podcast and he interviewed with Joe Button. I was like, wow, I actually like got to know him a little better. And I and I was like, you know what? I really understand him. Because Rod Wave doesn't think that way of his music. You know what I'm saying? Like he thinks that his music isn't depressing or isn't it sad? He's just saying, if you don't listen to me, you wouldn't understand it. But if you sit next to a motherfucker and they hit play on their shit and you hear it, you're gonna be like, Why, what's going on?

SPEAKER_02

Like, yeah, why you send me this shit, girl?

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, what the fuck? Like, I I've never heard an upbeat Rod Wave song. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't hear no versatility in his shit. So, yeah, I'm not a big fan. And at least with Joe Budden, like his shit was like, damn, like I uh I mean, he had versatility. That's what I can say about Joe Button. He wasn't just straight mood music and shit like you know what I'm saying? Like he had other shit going on where it wasn't just straight that. Like he was in, he was on, he was getting on the club bangers, you know what I'm saying? Like he had his own shit going on. He he had different waves to him. Rod Wave is like a one-trick pony to me. So, yeah, I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_13

I'm still looking up random years to 2013, right? Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Little Kim, Mariah Carey, Meek Mill, Pusha T, J. Cole, Sean Kingston.

SPEAKER_09

Nicki Minaj didn't even go that year.

SPEAKER_13

Probably because her and Meek Mill broke up.

SPEAKER_02

Two channels.

SPEAKER_09

She wasn't even dating Meek Mill back then. That's because Funk Father. That was Rosenberg. Yeah, she got into a Rosenberg. So then that's when CCU went to that one, right?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, he said they don't make real hip-hop. And Mark is the one who told me that she wasn't coming on the stage.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, they said she's not now she's not coming out because you're disrespecting her before she even gets on stage. So why the fuck will she come out?

SPEAKER_02

Her fans is there to see her, but I get it.

SPEAKER_05

He said she don't make real hip-hop music. That's all right.

SPEAKER_02

She said, Yeah, watch me not do this show, nigga. Show you real hip-hop.

SPEAKER_09

People always talk shit about starships, but that shit made her the most money ever. You know that's that shit went crazy. I love starships. That shit ain't made her so much fucking money. That shit went quadruple platinum, whatever the fuck it did. Like, yeah, she catered to the white people with that one. And you so you that's what it's it's called versatility. Michael Jackson was Michael Jackson because he refused to just cater the black people. He wanted everybody to love his music, and that's what happened.

SPEAKER_13

Like, if we talk about Nicki Minaj, don't mention the Michael Jackson. Like, what the fuck are we talking about? I'm just saying, I'm so trying to get this shit off.

SPEAKER_05

Like, no, he be so pissed.

SPEAKER_02

Should have said Jafar Jackson, not Michael Jackson.

SPEAKER_09

Nah, hell no.

SPEAKER_02

Um, keto Jackson.

SPEAKER_09

Listen, um, so have you guys tried the new henny, the honey drinks that's out? No, I seen them though.

SPEAKER_02

I didn't think I heard they asked.

SPEAKER_09

They got the hennessey. I don't even do henney. Hennessy Rias, they got the Hennessy Berry, and they got the Hennessy iced tea.

SPEAKER_05

I don't do the Henny no more. No drink.

SPEAKER_13

Mark, did you try it? Nah, I don't care the city. I'm cool with rolling bleach. Yeah, I've retired the honey.

SPEAKER_10

A long time ago. Mark has the tourists.

SPEAKER_13

And even if I didn't, I'll be so proud of you. I like Henny straight. I don't care about the margarita. Maybe I'll try the um the Long Island, but that's that's it.

SPEAKER_02

Mark said that's Long Island. I ain't gonna further word.

SPEAKER_09

But I don't see as a as a former bartender, I don't like when people name drinks something that it's not, because a long island is a long island.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it mixed with all the different liquors.

SPEAKER_09

You can't call it a long island and it's just cognac. Like that's not a long island, bro. And then also, um, I think I seen Ali talking about on his Facebook, and somebody commented, oh yeah, it's it's good, but it's strong.

SPEAKER_02

Yo, you have me crying, bro.

SPEAKER_09

I said, Yo, she on demon time with everybody. Because you know, I didn't I didn't even try this shit. But the fact is the shit is 14 alcohol, and it's a mixed drink, and he knows about it. Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I don't want that shit. That shit is that shit is that shit is is the shit that'd be 14 and 12 in the gas station. I'm good on that.

SPEAKER_09

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02

Um that's what that shit was. The nigga said it was strong as hell.

SPEAKER_09

That's what I said. I said, bro, you're lying. Like, what are you talking about? He just said, Oh, well, I don't drink, so it's strong for me. I said, So nigga, nobody's asking you for your review. It just makes sense. If you're asking people who drink, how was these new drinks? And the nigga that don't drink tasted it and give you the review. I don't give a fuck what you're talking about. Like, you're not wait.

SPEAKER_05

So you inserted yourself on Alice to argue teleport is stronger than that.

SPEAKER_09

Yes, I did because he got me tight. Like, nigga, did you know who it was?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, nigga, it was you know who it was.

SPEAKER_09

It was Gwen. Oh man. Yo, just saying anything, like, bro, shut up. What do you mean? She could wait to curse somebody out that day. Leave people alone, Keith. He would just be saying anything. Like, what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_05

Glenn's a perfect person to curse out. That's so funny.

SPEAKER_09

The funny thing is, my sister's mad cool. My sister went to a liquor store to get them, and she was talking to the um the guy, and he was saying he doesn't really think he he said he hasn't tried it. He said, but I wouldn't try it because Hennessy has like what 40% alcohol in it. But the the mixed drink is like what 15 or some shit like that. He said it doesn't make sense. Like it should be a few. And then how much are they charging? It's like $15.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, it's cheap as hell. That should have pissed me off, though. I over that shit up and I'm drinking some juice.

SPEAKER_05

A dollar for each other.

SPEAKER_02

I'd be so mad, bro. That's not, it's not worth it. It's not worth it. It's not worth it.

SPEAKER_09

Hennessy trying to make a comeback.

SPEAKER_02

Give me the henny white. Give me the henny white. Give me the henny white. If I'm gonna do henny, I only want henny white.

SPEAKER_09

They're trying to make a comeback. Even the henny white is not the same because they're doing bullshit to that too.

SPEAKER_02

Like, you gotta just Oh man, they changing everything, man. Ain't nothing good no more.

SPEAKER_09

Tequila, aliens is out now.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I love tequila. I'm a tequila guy, so.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, tequila's alright. And there's so many different brands of tequila. Like, you don't have to stick to just one thing. Like, you it's so many different types of tequila out that you don't have to, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's it's good. Shit, I'd rather just cut water than drink that hennessy shit. Like, it's no way. It's no way. Um, yeah, but shout out to y'all that all went and ran to the store and brought all three bottles to try. I see what y'all do.

SPEAKER_02

Yo, they definitely did. I was like, hey, yo, I'm over here, and people like, yeah, it's man, good. People going crazy, like, oh, I just couldn't help myself. I'm like, yo, just let me know what it tastes like. Just let me know what it tastes like.

SPEAKER_05

I would have to taste that on some ice. I definitely would.

SPEAKER_02

People don't even need it on the ice. You can open it up and take a swig of it. You could chug half the bottle and just be like, oh, juice.

SPEAKER_09

I think I don't even think you gotta be drinks. I don't even think that you gotta be a real hennessee drinker to really try this.

SPEAKER_02

Like, I think if if you it's not that's not a honey drink, that shit had to be 40% still, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05

How can we get people to keep buying honey?

SPEAKER_02

Like, let's mix it with some still, not no damn 16 tailor pork is stronger than that shit. I'd rather drink Taylor. I'm not drinking no Taylor Pork, but me neither.

SPEAKER_13

When chickles viral, everybody got a time. I'm cool on that.

SPEAKER_02

That's a fact. The only thing I did was that that chicken sandwich. I did try it, and I was like, Man, they don't put something in this chicken sandwich because ain't no way people here fighting for it.

SPEAKER_13

I tried that shit by accident before it went viral. I went to the mall. I was gonna get to mall Chinese, and then I seen that shit on the poster on uh um on Popeye's. I said, Oh shit, let me try it next. Then, like the next day or two days later, that shit went viral. Niggas waiting online, stabbing people up.

SPEAKER_05

That's so crazy.

SPEAKER_02

I love the mall Chinese mark.

SPEAKER_05

That bourbon chicken and uh so much competition, too. I love it.

SPEAKER_02

Word, it's like three of them on the same spot.

SPEAKER_13

They be giving you mad food, Japanese, the Chinese, and then the other nigga on the corner. Even when I'm when I plan on going there, I act like I'm not. So they give me a bunch of samples and with the toothpicks. I'm like, hold on.

SPEAKER_09

Standing between the two places, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

Why the why do the samples always taste better than when you get yours the samples always taste better than the plate? Yo, that's crazy. That bourbon chicken, though. That that's something different. I need that.

SPEAKER_02

I'll always get I always get nah. See, I'm not I hate never mind.

SPEAKER_09

The bourbon chicken, I like the bourbon chicken, but I don't know. It'd be like uh like it'd be tasting fatty sometimes.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I don't like that either, Key. I hate when it's fatty. That's why I'm like I need that sauce so I can make it myself. Yeah, that it don't need all that fat on it.

SPEAKER_09

Listen, if you make bourbon chicken at home, you will never buy the one at the Chinese spot again. I'm telling you, it's so easy to make too. Yeah, it's so easy.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I'm gonna have to make bourbon chicken.

SPEAKER_05

Send that um recipe through for that sauce, man.

SPEAKER_02

I would love to make it. Yeah, we need that. We need that. Send that, Chef.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, it's way better. Um, I wanted to show y'all a video that I seen because I don't want to be that person, but about this honey thing. And the first thing that pops up on my algorithm.

SPEAKER_03

Y'all did that. I can't lie, I can't lie, okay. Just got to the liquor store, you know what I came from. He got the hennesse. Hennessy. Only hit the spot in Forest Park, okay. Baby, y'all know I got it. Don't worry about it. Let's do it. The Hennessy Ice T is 18% alcohol, the Hennessy Rita is 18%, and then the Hennessy Berry is 20%. Let's start with a Hennessy Rita.

SPEAKER_09

Mommy Cutie, uh, she drinks a lot. Like this girl drinks a lot. She tries all the new drinks, all the shit. But that's not what I was coming to show you. I was coming to show you what I sent my sister. I don't want to be that person, but here we go.

SPEAKER_08

I'm not no big time conspiracy theorist, no none of that. But let me tell y'all something. Leave those henny bottles alone. Don't engage, don't get it, don't do it. Those henny berry, them flavored hennes, do not do it. That is a psyop out to destroy the black community. Don't do it, don't do it. Just like the Popeyes chicken sandwiches. This is another ploy to distract us. Do not get distracted right now. Cuba has completely been blacked out. They don't have no electricity, they don't have no gas, they don't have no oil, they don't have anything. And it is because of the United States blockade. Gaza has basically been completely obliterated. The reason why we don't really hear much or see much about it is because all of the people that were responsible for reporting, the journalists, the educators, all of them are no longer here with us. They want us to be distracted. They are trying to destroy us. Do not be distracted, do not be fooled by what is going on. They created a new alcohol. Leave liquor alone, period. Keep moving on. And on top of that, we need to stop funding these white corporations that are putting out these things and then enacting them in our communities so that we can be the ones funding these companies and corporations that don't care about us. We are not about to contribute more tax dollars to wars and all of this extra type of stuff. That's exactly what this is. Do not be fooled, do not go buy that new Hennessy with the flavors. Don't do it. It's too late, Cody, but that's a good point. No, it was a good point. But did you see the first comment that just said leave liquor alone?

SPEAKER_09

Period. No, for real. And I I seen another comment that said what's weird about this is that Hennessy themselves isn't even promoting it. So I went to the Hennessy Instagram and shit like that. It's nowhere on there. Like they don't have it up. I only seen it on TikTok.

SPEAKER_02

That's what that's that's that's creepy.

SPEAKER_09

Um, Ali, how much is gas by you?

SPEAKER_02

High as hell, for um like four four thirty, four, four thirty-four.

SPEAKER_09

All right, it's about the same by us too, high as hell. Uh it's between depending on where you go, 430 to 450 a gallon.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, the the cheapest around here, if you keep searching for a little bit, is like 409.

SPEAKER_09

I think um, I think Mark found a spot by his job that was like 399.

SPEAKER_13

399? Yeah. That line if you get there around 12 or 1 o'clock, that line is down a block.

SPEAKER_09

And then it's um my my friend that lives in LA, he said he said gas is like $7 a gallon. You got a friend in LA? Of course, I got a friend in LA, my nigga. What is that?

SPEAKER_13

$7 a day a gallon. That's sad. That is not my ex-boyfriend.

SPEAKER_05

Stop making this resurface, man. That is not my ex-boyfriend.

SPEAKER_13

Come here.

SPEAKER_02

How do you want to describe him then? Out here just going through past times and people.

SPEAKER_09

That is not my ex-boyfriend. That is, you know who he is. That's just my baby daddy. My baby daddy. Uh-huh. He ain't my ex-boyfriend, though. Um, but yeah, so I'm just saying that to say this, right? I also don't know that you guys know about the Cuba situation. Because I don't want to get into politics.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I heard, I heard that was gonna happen. I didn't know it happened already.

SPEAKER_09

No, it happened. It's been going on for I think like two or three weeks already, where because of whatever's going on with Trump stopping, because Trump somehow America is in control over the oil in Cuba.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, so I've seen this. Yeah, well, since they captured old boy.

SPEAKER_09

They have no, um, they have no anything. So, like, kids are dying and stuff like that because that they don't have any oil. People can't get, like, let's say they have an emergency, they can't get to the hospital because there's no oil, there's no gas.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, the U.S. sanctions is is is is crazy on them right now.

SPEAKER_09

Right. So they're really fucked up over there, which is scary. You know what I'm saying? It's not right. And I don't know the behind the scenes, I don't want to get into the politics of it, but there is a lot going on. So, what Shorty was saying is true. I respect it, but you know, it's alcohol. That's what people do. When shit is fucked up, what happened during the pandemic? Alcohol went out the roof. Niggas wasn't even caring about toilet people no more. They was just buying bottles of Don Julio and and all this other shit because it's a vice, you know what I'm saying? When things go wrong and shit is is happening, and you, you know what I'm saying? Like, people like to get into their vices and try to escape from reality. That's just that that's just what's gonna happen, and there's no judgment. But that's what that's the smartest thing to do, especially if somebody that's marketing, like, hey, the world is fucked up right now, people can't even afford gas. Let's throw some new liquor out there. People are gonna run and get it because it isn't it's an escape, it's just it is what it is. So um I like what she was saying, but girl, it's too late. It's too late. Our community is promoting this because, like I said, you don't even see this on the Hennessy website, you don't see it on the Hennessy Instagram or nothing like that. It's just our people making videos and going to get it, and people aren't even buying one bottle, they're buying all three of them shits. Like, you know, this is probably the it's a great film.

SPEAKER_02

No, for real, bro. People doing too much. Why are you grabbing all three, bro? Like for real, bro. For us, $15, man. Henny, like $50, bro. I'm gonna get it.

SPEAKER_05

For black people, I understand what the girl was saying, but it's like, you're right, it is too late. They already have these liquor stores in the communities. We've been learned this, like, you know, they put this in a whole tackle. The thing is, our fight is much bigger than that. That's only one thing to what we have to like, you know, go against and stuff like that. Unfortunately, there is a liquor store everywhere in a a black community, like it's out of the corner. But it's like you can't be like, all right, I'm not gonna get that Hennessy, but I'm gonna go buy this. It's already there, and our fight is bigger. We have still still keep note of that. But you know, we have we have a big fight, that included, but also more. So she's not wrong. It's just like they already fucked us up when they put it out there.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and people still are are not are are not realizing it's still the lack of representation, and they're still trying to make that disparity even more with this rezoning and all the shit that they're doing, bro. It's it's getting even worse. It's wicked out there.

SPEAKER_05

This is where we have to start thinking bigger and and building our own communities and not allowing liquor stores to be so present, you know? It could be like a liquor store, you know, around, but it doesn't have to be so uh frequent. We have to start building our own communities, like for real. People who have money, it can't, oh, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna buy a house. Not telling people what to do with their money, but I'm saying as as black people have to be.

SPEAKER_02

Who's telling what to do with their money? Who's these richest niggas? LeBron.

SPEAKER_05

We have to start building neighborhoods, communities, so we could be like, no, you won't come over here and build that over here. Because that's what they're doing.

SPEAKER_09

And since since we are here, I did want to mention um last week we were talking about the Kevin Hart Rose. Did you see all the backlash that's happened since this call?

SPEAKER_05

Oh, no, no, no, nobody said anything good, y'all.

SPEAKER_02

Like, not it's going to be good.

SPEAKER_05

No one said anything good about it. Everything I see, it's bad. It's not like, oh, watch it. People are saying, don't watch it. I could not watch it, I couldn't finish it.

SPEAKER_09

It was exactly what you said, Cece, from watching them clips. You said everything I seen was not funny.

SPEAKER_05

I'm like, this is so racist. I'm like, I know I'm not bugging.

SPEAKER_12

Like, do I really watch the whole thing or did you just like it?

SPEAKER_05

No, I really only seen the clips. I didn't watch the clips.

SPEAKER_12

She doubled down.

SPEAKER_05

Listen, it it was it was enough for me once I seen those clips.

SPEAKER_09

Now, but one thing I would say, because last week you were we were talking about how um when Cheryl Underwood went up there, that she was saying this is what they said. They said that Cheryl Underwood, she even though no, no, no, no, no. Even though she had writers, she went off script when she went up there. They said she said what she wanted to say, and she said the reason why she did that was because it's comedy. So she knows that because they decided to talk about her ex husband's suicide and stuff like that, that now she has to be able to say what she wants to say, and then she can also bring uh awareness to mental black people and mental health and things like that. Um, I still didn't see Cheryl Underwood's uh segment, but I also didn't see everything else in the show. I like I said, I never went back to finish it. Because after I spoke about it here and then I started seeing all the backgrounds and I actually started paying attention to what I'm seeing online, I said, fuck no, I'm not giving them any more of my time watching that shit. Like, I'm good off of that. But just hearing the nasty things that they were saying about, like, it wasn't funny. Um, and that's the thing about dark humor. Dark humor is still funny, and it's like, it's like if you're not into dark humor, or if you're into dark humor, it's like, damn, that's funny. It's fucked up to laugh at, but that's funny. It wasn't nothing funny about them talking about her ex-husband committing suicide. Like, it wasn't.

SPEAKER_05

They're like, oh, don't bring Sheryl Underwood's uh husband next to a bridge. Like, it's not funny, like it's just y'all just saying it because he committed suicide, and like, you know, it's like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_09

Kevin Hart, I'm sorry, he just he just became like he he he was cooning for me. Like that. I always love Kevin Hart, and I I I I definitely wanted to give him grace after that that Cat Williams shit, but this was like and he's laughing at everything, like everything is so fucking hilarious, and it's like the pictures that they was putting up talking about this is Kevin Hart.

SPEAKER_05

They would they had black people dancing, this black character dancing. I'm like, yo, there's like every racist joke, he's cracking up, like yeah, like he was cooning.

SPEAKER_09

Like, I didn't understand. I'm like, bro, that's not even funny. Like, it's not like I enjoy Kevin Hart organically, right? Like, I love when I see him join the Druwski um the the Drewski stream with with Kai Sonai and shit. Like, I love shit like that because Kevin Hart is naturally funny, but when it comes to like this shit, I was just like, how could you you if you you gotta stand for something or you will fall for anything? Like, if they got you, just say that. Because why would you with your big name and your big brand and who you are and how much you put into this industry, why are you attaching yourself to something like that? Like, it's not necessary. Ugh, like I just uh I don't like that. And I'm glad, um, even though, like I said, I didn't finish watching it, but I I hear a lot of good things about Cheryl Underwood and her performance and how she went off script and she said what she said. So many people have spoken out about it. Even Chelsea Handler, you know what I'm saying? Even though she was up there part of the road, she said. Chelsea Handler was coming at niggas after that. I said that I seen hers, and then even after it, she made statements saying that they were racist.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, she's like straight up racist.

SPEAKER_09

Like, yeah, so shout out to her. We know she's not racist, she loves her some black dick.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, she knew.

SPEAKER_05

And now we don't know, we never know. Mark's co-worker.

SPEAKER_13

Listen, never know how to black dick can still be racist.

SPEAKER_02

That's that's crazy.

SPEAKER_05

That is a fact.

SPEAKER_02

You gotta stay away from them. Those are the worst kind of women.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, that's a fact. Yo, what's she?

SPEAKER_02

The scariest kind of women.

SPEAKER_09

Me? This girl got something. No, I'm not eating, I was pulling my nose. Oh, okay. I thought I heard it. I thought I heard a bite. No, no, no. I actually today before we record it, that's why I have so much energy. I drank iced coffee. I haven't drank iced coffee in a minute. Um, but I got a free reward. Mark sent me the coupon for Dunkin' Donuts, free coffee. So I got it, and it makes me so full. Like, I I wanted some pizza before I drank it, and now I'm like so full, I don't want anything. Oh, we know you're full. Put that damn coffee down. I finished it. Iced coffee. Yo, coffee has coffee has empty calories, so it fills you up. Like, I don't even think how people could eat breakfast and drink coffee because it really does fill you up.

SPEAKER_05

It does fill you up. So does tea for some reason.

SPEAKER_09

I have so much tea now. I'm a tea drinker, I have a wow. I love tea. I had a taste for coffee today, and now I regret it because I really had a taste for pizza, and I'm just so full from that coffee. But oh well. Um, one more other thing that I wanted to mention before we go is that raising canine is coming back. Yes, June is it June 13th, did they say? June 13th. I can't wait to see Rock. The final season. Um, and from the trailer, you can see that Rock doesn't get she's not dead. She's does she enough. She's gonna be at war with Kanan um this season. Um, they saw a lot of rock in the trailer, so that's how you know.

SPEAKER_05

I can't wait, y'all.

SPEAKER_09

I can't wait either. I'm sad that it's over, but you know, I'm glad that power is back. I haven't we haven't had seen power, like it hasn't been anything from power in a while. So I know I'm glad that it's back.

SPEAKER_05

It's been hard to watch stuff, honestly. It really has, not gonna lie. I did Patina has a hold on me, and I really love her. She wrote me back that what time on TikTok. I just feel like we're together. Can't wait to see her again. I can't wait to see her again. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_09

Somebody was saying in the comments, like, why would they ruin this for us? We don't know if she died or not, but now y'all showing us she didn't die. Why are y'all trying to kill her off so fast? We know that she does get killed, she dies, we know that, but at the same time, like, did y'all really think Canaan was gonna kill her that fast? Like, and they got a whole nother season. They need we need Rock. Um, I think Rock does die in this season, though. I think they're gonna do the same thing like how they did Monet, you know?

SPEAKER_05

Oh man, if rock that I that's gonna really hurt me. My eyes are tearing up right now. If they do that, like I will write 50 myself. Like, don't you ever? I really love her. It's my girl. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, rock. Nigga said, You've been my enemy my whole fucking life.

SPEAKER_05

And I can't wait to see the fits. Like, I love I love this.

Like the whole damn family gets on the pops. I kind of like the piles. The pops are kind of cool, but everybody else, they get on my goddamn nerves.

SPEAKER_09

No, don't ruin it now. We already told you, we're gonna watch it. We'll talk about it.

SPEAKER_13

I'm not going into details, I'm just saying who I hate.

SPEAKER_09

All right. Yeah, cool. Um, okay, I got Cece's video. The time I made my mama guess which one of her friends passed away. Passed away.

SPEAKER_11

So I remember when I was younger, my mama had a falling out with one of her friends, right? And they wasn't talking. And I remember one day when she was at work, my auntie had called, and she called like four or five times. And my mom had this policy in her house, like, well, this rule in her house, especially when she was gone, like, don't answer her phone or her door. Um, you know, especially with the phone, especially if it's only for her. Or you feel what I'm saying? Like, she didn't play that shit. So I'm like, Yeah, she already gone this day and third. And she like, well, I'm about to uh head out on this retreat, and I'm not gonna be able to have my phone because she was like real big in the church or whatever. So she like, you know, tell your mom that you know so-and-so passed away. And I'm oh yeah, like, okay, cool. Like, my mama's gonna love to hear this. And I just hung up. So, like, TT called back and she was like, What you mean? I was like, Um, TT, I gotta go do my chores. I'm really not supposed to be on the phone, but I'm gonna tell her, okay. And so I'm just thinking, like, oh my god, my mama's gonna be so happy. Like, I'm gonna have some good news for her when she gets off trade. So, like, as soon as my mom came in, I couldn't wait. I said, Ma, guess who died? Like, with the biggest fucking smile. Yo, what?

SPEAKER_15

She's tweaking. She's tweaking.

SPEAKER_11

She looked at me and said, Girl, what? Why the fuck are you smiling? Like, that's not funny. I was like, no, Ma, for real. Like, just guess. And then immediately after she's like, who, who, my sister, my mama, my cousin? I'm like, cold, cold. The guessing game of who died is crazy. I am motherfucking cold on somebody. Life is crazy. Like, and what made it for more fucked up was she was like, Trinity, this tell me who. I'm like, no, guess. Like, I'm gonna try to make her guess like Trinity, I got time for these motherfucking games. She's like, let me call my motherfucking mama because she doesn't make she was like, I'm about to whoop your motherfucking ass and go, Toby. It's like okay, jeez. Like, and so I said, Your homegirl so-and-so. And she was just like, Trinity, stop fucking playing. I said, Did y'all make up or like I'm scared because like in my mind, bitch, if we got beef, we got beefed to the afterlife. Like, what the fuck you sad for? But I knew at that moment I was just like, I was set to be a visual person for life because like I was deadass so confused. Why the fuck my mama was mad and whooped my ass. Bitch, I thought we was on the same, I thought we were the same thing. Like, you my girl. I was just trying to figure out like what's I thought we was, I thought we were there with it.

SPEAKER_02

One band, one like you see what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_11

If it's if it's fuck you, it's fuck me too. Like, bitch, that's how I was rocking behind my mama at the time. Like, you couldn't tell me shit about it. You couldn't do shit, bitch. What's up? Like, but that shit was so I can't.

SPEAKER_05

Yo, that shit had me crying. I'm like, yo, that is so she said, guess who died? Like, why would she be happy to hear that just because they fell out? Like, kids are the worst. This is the most we laughed in an episode. Watch when you hear it back. This is a great episode. We laughed a lot.

SPEAKER_09

I told you I was a good idea to start with Ali off the rap off the bat. Like, that was just definitely gonna work.
