Sometimes I checked it out and then, to my surprise, I'm a huge hip hop fan and I want everyone listening right now to let you guys know that this episode is for me. I'm a huge hip hop fan, Found out you guys were doing album reviews. A lot more than that. You got into hip hop culture, pop culture, everything else that you could think of right under the sun. But it was a real fun conversation. So I ended up listening to a few episodes and became a fan, and then I invited you guys to come on the podcast.
Speaker 3:So thanks so much for coming. Oh, yeah, thanks for having us man, thank you, man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was checking it out actually a little bit today, so it is quite a bit like there's quite a bit of stuff on there, right, and you guys have some long episodes too.
Speaker 5:Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4:You guys really get going. Yeah, you guys get going right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Is there a kitchen table?
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is. I saw the table and I saw like the checkered cloth. It's in my basement, actually Right on, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 4:We had a studio, two different studios for a bit.
Speaker 5:Yeah, two different studios.
Speaker 4:But then funding became a problem, so we went back to where we started, in my basement. So we just went back there, right.
Speaker 2:Listen, we're in bars.
Speaker 4:So we're in pubs.
Speaker 2:Speaking of which, we have to say that so that's why I wanted to do a little segue. There we are at Big Leagues, yes, and we have a Heineken here, we have a ginger ale over there, and we have an iced tea over there, and we're drinking the Big League's Light, big League's Blaze, it's called.
Speaker 1:Blaze yeah.
Speaker 5:It's a nice light beer Not too bad yeah.
Speaker 1:So thank you, big League's, for letting us come here for, I think, a second time. Yeah, this is always a really nice spot. Yeah, great food too. That was good. Matt recommended a beef. I don't know if I ever had a beef dip, but it was a good time.
Speaker 4:I've never tried a beef dip. I've had like crab dips and stuff like that. Oh, this is just you know sandwich roast beef, little au jus and aioli.
Speaker 2:As soon as they had au jus, aioli and Swiss cheese, I'm like salt Nice.
Speaker 1:It was delicious, yeah, Very salty, very good, but you guys. So what inspired you guys to start a podcast? From when you read the description about your podcast about you guys Retired rappers Two of you are retired rappers and one's still a DJ, correct?
Speaker 4:Yeah, dj Latar is still DJing Me and Tigger used to rap. We used to be in a group called the Helltown Assassins, way back in the day, way, way back. I'm talking about high school and stuff. Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we did shows. What decade was that? Oh shit, I love these guys.
Speaker 4:Actually it was back before. Classified was a solo artist.
Speaker 6:Oh wow.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 4:Back when he was in a group called Ground Squad. Our group had a little beef with him, really.
Speaker 1:With them.
Speaker 4:yeah, Not me. Members of my crew had beef with members of his crew, the whole thing went back then. This was back when we used to get our music played on CKDU.
Speaker 1:Yes, oh man, yeah, we had RS Smooth on a year ago and we talked about CKDU and particularly RS Smooth and his importance to hip-hop in Nova Scotia.
Speaker 4:When you think about it. On the radio, the only time you heard it was on CKDU For years. That's why we were proud when we got to have our stuff on there 100%.
Speaker 2:He had a song on there. I got a song on there, oh nice.
Speaker 1:I won't show it on this one, but there was some other time as well it was a little violent for a little guy like me Getting old. But yeah, so your hip-hop group, did you guys tour or did you guys just do it underground here in like Halifax? Yeah?
Speaker 4:we didn't have any tour, we didn't get that big. We had two albums. The second one was more like a mixtape because it wasn't in stores, right, and it was crazy. I was a kid, I was only in high school and we had our first album. It was H&B sold it. Um, remember Urban Sound Exchange. We used to have it there, right, okay, and then, um, there was just two of us. Then we grew and we had like 10 of us and and this is embarrassing to say, but I forgot the steps that I went through to get it in the store and I couldn't figure, like I was starting from scratch, and then we just like we're just there selling them $5 at shows. Oh yeah, we used to do it at the Pavilion.
Speaker 1:Oh yes, oh jeez, by chance I might have saw you there.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, we used to go there all the time At the Pavilion there and Crash Cafe, what's it called, remember? On the corner there was, like you remember, splatshot is downtown, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course.
Speaker 4:But they had another one that was right by the Commons. It didn't last as long. But down below it doesn't ring a bell. Jacob's Lent, no that was Dartmouth. I think they might have just called it Crash Cafe.
Speaker 6:Yeah, so long ago.
Speaker 5:That's so long ago.
Speaker 4:That's the show that started the beef, because we did it with Classified and Ground Squad and then they started arguing over mic time and stuff like that. It was crazy.
Speaker 1:So you were arguing over just how much time you guys got on the mic.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and then they decided, hey, let's have a battle. And then our guys were taking stuff a little more serious. Yeah, I almost got to fight. Oh yeah, I don't know how we avoided the fight. I think we got them to calm down because we both had big crews. I think our crews were so big, we had more people on stage than was in the audience at one point.
Speaker 6:But yeah, I remember that back in the day.
Speaker 4:One thing I'll say is bad about having big crews is that when we get paid for the show it ends up to like $10 each. We had enough to all go to McDonald's.
Speaker 1:And you're still DJing eh, yes.
Speaker 3:I'm still DJing, yeah.
Speaker 1:So what are you doing, like gigs and catered events?
Speaker 3:I'm like a mobile DJ. I do like anything really Okay.
Speaker 5:Anything and everything.
Speaker 3:That sounds a little you know, open. So I do clubs, Ladies, he does topless.
Speaker 1:You got to watch out. Remember that cut.
Speaker 6:We thought Can't say that.
Speaker 4:Not with Diddy on there. How do?
Speaker 6:you bring Diddy in this though.
Speaker 1:Oh no, you said anything, he'll bring out the baby lotion A thousand bottles, a thousand bottles.
Speaker 6:But I don't do everything. Close.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:No, for the right price, yes.
Speaker 3:It's mostly clubs in summertime, a lot of patios.
Speaker 1:And genres of music. Is it hip-hop strictly, or is it everything?
Speaker 3:No, I actually play everything Like weddings. I'm more catered to whatever the bride or groom wants to hear. You know, the singer, the girl, yeah. But I've grown to like other things Really after playing so much weddings. I learned to like country, I learned to like top four.
Speaker 1:I find music is melding together now more than it ever has, especially hip-hop and country.
Speaker 2:For some reason yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know why Bill Maher the other week he called it crap.
Speaker 2:He's like I'm going to mix the country and rap. That's such an easy joke but I'm like, yeah, he's not wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's pretty good. I mean, you saw Beyonce flip over this year. Yeah, Post Malone flipped over this year obviously right yeah. What a crazy year for hip-hop. If you're a hip-hop fan, especially in our, I mean I think I mean I'm not going to disrespect. Might be a little younger than you, fellas.
Speaker 4:How old are you guys? Oh, why do you have to say that? I got to ask you want to take it out? I'll take it out, but I got to ask you guys are in. He's 40. I'm 40. I'm 40. I'm not yet Us two. I'm 35.
Speaker 1:You're not there, yet I'm 35. You're 35? Okay, cool See.
Speaker 5:I probably wasn't saved in that age. That's why I waited for you guys to say hello.
Speaker 3:I'm sure if you're a hip-hop fan though it was like it was 2002 again, man came back with the.
Speaker 1:Slim Shady, whatever the death of Slim Shady. It was unbelievable Busta Rhymes right, and they're still coming. Ll Cool J just the other week dropped that Murdergram song, which is fantastic. The album is the force. Yeah, and I was listening to you guys about the album and I felt the exact same way. I was like the mixing seems off.
Speaker 6:His lyrics.
Speaker 1:his own cadence is perfect. He's crystal clear, better than he's ever been, stronger than he ever is, but it's like he got the worst match of beats I've ever heard.
Speaker 4:I know, and that's why I was so disappointed when I looked it up, because I was dissing the producer and I looked it up and they're all produced by Q-Tip and I was like really.
Speaker 1:And I love Q-Tip Me too, and I love Q-Tip Me too.
Speaker 4:Like to go back and none of it sounds like Q-Tip, does it?
Speaker 1:No, dude, not even a little. Like to go back to like Q-Tip was one of my first favorite. Like Tribe Called Quest my first favorite rap act yeah. Because when I was a kid I was going to, I had a story about like rap. Like my parents didn't want me listening to rap music yeah yeah, it's a curse In the 90s they were all cursing, so you used to hide that like porno under the bed right.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And the good thing about Tribe. There was two CDs. I remember buying them one time. I bought them together. I bought Tribe Called Quest, the Love Movement, if you guys remember that. Yeah, and I bought Locks Money, power and Respect.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, what was cool, the parents will advisory stickers. Okay, so, mom and dad, you're like no, these guys are just like will smith, they don't swear right oh yeah that's when they put this that's when they put the sticker on the case instead of on the insert.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1:So I remember my dad sitting down I might have been grade seven or something with the locks, money, power, respect came out. He's like there's no swearing on the cds, like looking at me and I'm like no dad, they're cool, they're really really nice. And he plays the first CD song, or second song on the CD it's called Living the Life, and he's playing it for a few minutes and I'm like, see, he can't even understand what they're saying.
Speaker 2:So I'm like see.
Speaker 1:There's no swearing. And then he goes to the song like who's not to be fucked with and I'm like, yeah, yeah, but what an era. All those guys are still back. The Lox just this year did the Tiny Desk concert.
Speaker 4:Yeah, Did you guys see that? Yeah, I did. And also Jadakiss is coming here to Halifax.
Speaker 3:When oh really Hopscotch, yeah, hopscotch For Hopscotch, october 19th.
Speaker 4:Yes, october 19th On a Saturday, is it? It's Saturday, that's election day oh is it Also election day?
Speaker 6:There you go.
Speaker 2:It's election day for HRM.
Speaker 1:This show will actually come out in November, so that was a great concert, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was fantastic.
Speaker 6:We were all there. It was awesome, yeah. So yeah, I remember the show there.
Speaker 1:I remember one time the Hopscotch Awards. You guys remember the b-nuts. Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah. So I went with my buddy, jj, and, uh, we were excited because we like the b-nuts. Yeah, nobody must have knew they were playing for hopscotch festival that year, because there were more than 30 people there, man that was the saddest thing.
Speaker 1:But these two guys, they were so brave, they're the bravest rappers I ever saw, because there's a couple police officers in the back and all they did like the police officers were plain sight right, like there was not an audience there in between the two of them. They just were picking on the police officers the entire time, right, and you'd be standing in the audience with like six other people. Like man, I'm scared. So there breaks down. I don't want to be in the middle between the peanuts and a bunch of cops, right, but they, they were here, they did their thing and uh, yeah, that's still going, the hopscotch festival so, yeah, yeah, it is so.
Speaker 4:Who's running? That Do you guys know? Not a clue.
Speaker 1:No, not a clue.
Speaker 4:I have no idea who runs that.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it seemed to be improving every year though, yeah, at a scale of acts.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I can't even remember. We went last year.
Speaker 5:No, no, no.
Speaker 1:Did you guys see Killer Mike when he was here in the summer, oh of course Jazz Fest.
Speaker 4:I didn't know I should have went. I went for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I really wanted to go.
Speaker 4:That was a nice month for me, because Wu-Tang Killer Bees came down too, yeah, and I actually worked on that. I drove them around and stuff oh cool yeah. I got to go eat with them and talk to them and stuff.
Speaker 1:So who did?
Speaker 4:you meet for the Wu-Tang. It was the killer beat, so it was Killer Army.
Speaker 1:Yeah, One of the Wu-Tang guys are in that, though aren't they Like Master Ace or something?
Speaker 4:Well, I don't know. Wu-tang is confusing.
Speaker 1:It's complicated, is it's confusing? It's complicated.
Speaker 4:Like there's like a hundred members, right they're called the Wu-Tang Killer Bees. Then you got the nine most famous ones. They're called the Wu-Tang Clan. Then you got other groups under the Wu-Tang Killer Bees, so it was other groups that came. I think that's what kind of discouraged some people to go, because it was being promoted as just Wu-Tang. So when they heard that Method man and them weren't there, they were like, oh, you guys are scamming. But no, these were valid members, like Killer Priest.
Speaker 1:he just put an album out this week too Well, Killer Priest was on the original Wootek man, right, no he?
Speaker 4:was on the Triumph song, wasn't he? He was no Back on Forever, no, no. But he had a solo song on Giz's first album, bible Okay, before leaving Earth. But yeah, he is famous, he's good and it was cool to just hang and see your idols and then, yeah, but the showing was kind of like the Beatnuts. It's like there's probably about 30 people in the audience, Matt and I.
Speaker 1:I mean, this is going to be Friday's past now. When this comes out, we're going to a classified show. Oh yeah, and I mean, you know, it's about finding your audience, right. There's people that love you to death and classify it, and he has a ton of super fans right. But of course the event we were at that night it was a bunch of corporate events.
Speaker 2:Corporate events Corporate fundraiser.
Speaker 1:They're not putting their hands up and jumping up and down when you ask them to right. They're just kind of watching arms folded.
Speaker 2:So he did like the past 30 years of hip-hop oh man, that's the thing that got most people up and going, kind of thing.
Speaker 1:He kind of gave up on his set after a few songs and he started going and, like you know, I don't know, maybe that was the plan or I don't know, maybe yeah, but he was like, so he started going back and he was just playing hip-hop hits over the decades and stuff, trying to get the crowd woke up.
Speaker 5:Tough, go Right. Corporate events are hard to do.
Speaker 2:It is yeah, but I mean people started getting into it when they started hearing songs from like 20, 25, 30 years ago.
Speaker 1:Right, right, right, same as comedians, right? It's hard to even go to an event when you're a comedian because you're going to say some weird wild stuff. Oh, definitely.
Speaker 4:And then all of a sudden, it's almost weird Like you think about that when booking him. Like is this an event that you want him to be at? Is this his crowds?
Speaker 2:well, yeah, the opening act was shameless great great band right like great local band, yeah, that play a lot of hits and stuff like that, like you know, like cover bands, stuff, but is that the person who you want opening for you know?
Speaker 6:yeah, classified yeah, I don't know right.
Speaker 2:I mean I enjoy both, oh yeah right, I enjoy both, I mean I like all types of music and genres and everything right I actually like. I'm one of the few people that didn't hate Beyonce's country song. I didn't like it. I didn't like it.
Speaker 4:Oh, thank you, I didn't mind it. I didn't mind it either.
Speaker 2:I was like I'm not a huge country guy.
Speaker 4:Are we talking about the Texas?
Speaker 2:Hold'em song yeah, yeah, that one.
Speaker 4:She did another one. She did another follow-up. I didn't like it as much. I don't remember the second one, but you know what I don't really love modern country.
Speaker 2:I like old country. I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan.
Speaker 5:Right, I'm with you on that Johnny Cash.
Speaker 2:My cat is an all-black cat and his name is Cash.
Speaker 1:Right, A huge Johnny Cash fan, I have a Snoop original American rappers. Eh oh T.
Speaker 6:Oh, there you go, yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 2:I like the old country and stuff like that. Like the country in the last 20 years, I'm just kind of like ugh, I don't know right. But honestly I actually when she crossed over and wrote that Texas Hold'em song. Anyone who likes country.
Speaker 1:I don't know why they didn't like it because it the country music I like, lemonade, that's my favorite Beyonce song. I'll just leave it at that Drunk in Love. That's a beautiful song.
Speaker 4:That's a real song.
Speaker 6:The bass in that song when that drops.
Speaker 3:It sounds crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it sounds crazy. You know, production this year in hip-hop's been well too. Kanye West I know people don't love hearing his name anymore but I'm like oh, oh, my god. The first vultures. The second one I didn't like so much the first one. I really enjoyed the vultures. I found the production on this just immaculate. You hear these songs and you're just it's transcending when you're driving or when you're walking like your head just goes in a weird space, like he still has it.
Speaker 2:I'm someone who likes to separate the artist from the like the art, yeah, yeah right like if's music or I like someone's, whatever I like it.
Speaker 6:It's like going back. What do you think about that, DJ? Do you feel?
Speaker 2:different.
Speaker 5:No, no, no, Don't call your other artists.
Speaker 2:I feel what you're saying. I kind of do that too. I think of the Cosby show. I love the Cosby show. Is Bill Cosby a monster? Turns out he was, but that doesn't change the fact of all the greatness that was that show.
Speaker 4:I'm watching that right now, I guess maybe there's different levels to it, because I can still go back and watch a Cosby show, but I can't listen to R Kelly like I used to listen to R Kelly.
Speaker 1:That's right. It depends on the lyrics.
Speaker 5:I can listen to R Kelly. Diddy is pretty hot.
Speaker 1:We was more, we was like brothers yeah yeah, yeah, what is that?
Speaker 6:Need a girl, what was that? Yeah, what is that?
Speaker 1:So many questions? Yeah, Diddy is just there's a comedian, whitney Cummings.
Speaker 2:She's one of my favorite female comedians and she talks about R Kelly and talks about it and she's like, oh, you don't know about him. But she starts grinding and stuff like that and she's like, yeah, just wait a minute. And she's kind of saying how terrible he is, but she's also grinding to the music and stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly. So, I was like that too, and then Tyrone's mom corrected me. Oh, she told you to turn it off. I was DJing for Tyrone's wedding. Yeah, and she came to me before the music even started. She's like you've got to play R Kelly. I was like I'm not playing.
Speaker 2:R Kelly.
Speaker 3:She's like you've got to play R Kelly.
Speaker 2:I said I'm not playing R Kelly right, I've got to play R Kelly.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, I mean anyone who grew up, if you of Kelly's songs still on my playlist.
Speaker 4:I haven't been able to. Well, if you listen to, I Believe I Can Fly. There's no lyrics that could be messed up.
Speaker 1:I wish. What a beautiful song. Yeah, I wish Even that. But Bump and Grind when it starts with my mind telling me no and my body, I know that's true, I like going to Jeep song too, but, like I mean, R Kelly had an amazing voice. He was iconic in so many ways. I mean, you know, it's just terrible.
Speaker 6:He's a monster. That has to happen too. He's a monster.
Speaker 5:The greatest R&B artist of all time, like Michael Jackson too, right, a lot of R&B singers are still saying he's the king of R&B. Even R&B singers are still saying he's the king of R&B Even though he did what he did, they're still saying he's the king of R&B, right yeah, michael.
Speaker 2:Jackson. I struggle with a little bit, because you know what the thing with Michael Jackson is he nothing was ever really proven with him. There's a lot of you know the jury's out with what kind of happened and everything Right and like he's just a legend, right.
Speaker 2:We talked about this before. They've redone the we Are the World, I don't know how many times. A lot of times, and you know what, they never redo his part. Nope, because his vocals in that I'm a vocal guy kind of thing, right, and his vocals in that just hit perfect, yeah, and it's like whenever I hear that, I'm just kind of like man you just can't replace it.
Speaker 1:One of the first tapes I ever wanted as a kid was Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2:Which one? I think it was Thriller Okay. I think, but it might have been.
Speaker 1:History though too, because I had both.
Speaker 2:I remember having History as a kid Was that 95, I think Double album yeah.
Speaker 4:I remember the Michael Jackson one. I remember playing until it was dead. It was dangerous. Oh, yeah, yeah was dangerous.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was 93, I think, yeah, I used to. I think 92, 93, roundabout.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you used to just play it and then flip it and play it.
Speaker 1:But it was like every song was brilliant.
Speaker 4:I know Like you know how could you not love that Right?
Speaker 1:Yeah, See.
Speaker 2:I've always been all over the place Throw in like Marilyn Manson and freaking.
Speaker 1:Korn, you know what I'm more into everything now than I was back when I was a teenager 20s or whatever, but like even then, even when I was a teenager, I liked Marilyn Manson.
Speaker 2:I liked a bunch of hip hop. That's another guy who's like. You know you can't when Marilyn.
Speaker 1:Manson crossed over with DMX and did that song. I just thought that was the coolest thing ever. You remember that?
Speaker 6:No, I don't. He was a little baby. He was still a baby. I was waiting for him to tell me more about this song it's Ed and Ed.
Speaker 3:What the Omen? Yeah, man.
Speaker 4:On his Flesh of my Flesh. Blood of my Blood, flesh of my Flesh was the first one, right, you don't?
Speaker 6:remember that no Flesh of my F. The second one it's dark in my and hell is hot. It's the first one.
Speaker 1:I need a part two of the Damien song, with Marilyn Manson going like the snake and the rat, the cat and the dog. Yeah, the sound is so cool, I was actually listening to this two days ago and DO Beck's, like he just man that guy was, I don't know, in my opinion, like one of the best rappers all the time. Why is he not in everybody's top five? Because I mean he is like to me. He had such such a polarizing presence, like every song.
Speaker 1:He just like you ever hear the stories about him and jay-z yeah, like when they're doing the hard knock life tour and it's jay-z's tour, but dmx would go on before him and he would bring so much energy to it yeah, he'd have his shirt off. You have all the girls going crazy, you have all the guys going crazy. And then at the end he ended with a prayer. And then jc came out and the audience was gassed right yeah left.
Speaker 4:I remember jay-z saying in one interview he said that the crowd was going and hyped up before x even said said a word. That's when they heard that boom, boom and and then he just growls at the crowd. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, he just would own an audience. He was a different.
Speaker 4:Incredible artist. He was different and, yeah, like you said, terrible action movies.
Speaker 3:I like those movies, man, steven Seagal shooting down a helicopter with a handgun.
Speaker 1:Didn't really make a lot of sense to me, but they were fun, they were fun movies Seems to go.
Speaker 3:Romeo Must Die, and all that Romeo.
Speaker 1:Must Die. They were good soundtracks too.
Speaker 4:All the soundtracks were amazing Back when the soundtracks were a thing. They don't do that too much.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're different. Soundtracks were a big selling feature for movies, but they're not as much. I mean some movies have good soundtracks, don't get me wrong but they're not selling them like they used to.
Speaker 5:No.
Speaker 2:I remember the what was it? Highway, something I can't remember. It was one of the best like it won Emmys and everything. It was a movie Something Highway, something Highway, anyway, had a bunch of dark stuff like Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson and all it was like a star-studded soundtrack and Lost Highway, that's what it was, and I remember that. Was that a movie Lost?
Speaker 6:Highway, lost Highway. It was a movie.
Speaker 2:I never heard about. Can you remember?
Speaker 4:yeah, I remember a little bit about it because I saw it, but I actually liked the soundtrack.
Speaker 3:The movie wasn't great.
Speaker 4:Okay, the soundtrack soundtrack. Okay, I love the sound. I had soundtracks the movies I didn't even see.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, just because the soundtracks and then you could never get those songs again. They never. A lot of them never made it to 83 so like the blue streak soundtrack with martin lawrence that was a good movie. The best song on that was this guy named Rehab and there was a song on there called Give Me my Money and he's like we're living in the land of milk and honey Give me give me, give me my money, money, money.
Speaker 1:It's the best song ever. I used to play it all day, but I think it was. You can't get that on MP3 anywhere. You don't even know what happened to that guy.
Speaker 4:I think that's the same with the Nutty Professor. Some of the songs were missing off of that Because I went to put it on and I was like, and the worst thing is, on Spotify it will show them, but they're grayed out you know what.
Speaker 6:Same with the.
Speaker 2:Godzilla soundtrack. The 1998 Godzilla soundtrack was a great soundtrack and you go on and you try to. If you go to the Green Day Brain Stew song, they did a Godzilla modified song that. Diddy song's probably gone now with Hulk.
Speaker 1:Hogan Probably.
Speaker 2:No, but the Diddy song with Jimmy. Page. Yeah, Jimmy Page.
Speaker 1:No, it's Jimmy Page. No, I'm with me. That was a great song, man.
Speaker 2:I have a whole new meaning now that song oh.
Speaker 6:I love that I love that yeah.
Speaker 2:Get my glasses Get my glasses.
Speaker 4:Get my glasses.
Speaker 6:Honestly you know what?
Speaker 2:the most bizarre thing about the whole Diddy thing is like his like Attempt arrest and eventual arrest was straight up movie villain.
Speaker 5:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:Like him taking a private jet and fleeing the country.
Speaker 1:And he started rattling off all the names. He's like I got the receipts and he starts saying all these people's names in the business. He's like holy jeez.
Speaker 2:He's like a movie villain, doctor Evil.
Speaker 1:But a few years ago you saw him dressed up as Joker, remember, yeah?
Speaker 4:It was like TMZ.
Speaker 1:It was like did he terrorize us? Yeah, Nobody's doing nothing.
Speaker 4:He was like assaulting people and they just he's out on the street dressed up as Joker from Batman with a machine gun.
Speaker 1:Somebody sued him.
Speaker 3:Somebody sued him for that oh.
Speaker 2:Okay, whoever has the rights for Joker somebody? Yeah, they said they sent him a letter and they did Batman after that.
Speaker 3:I think he's an F them. We think he tore it up and did Batman.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's like he's like, he's untouchable.
Speaker 2:The dudes so wealthy I mean realistically he could have left the country and probably never he would have been fine, yeah right.
Speaker 4:So yeah, he must think he's untouchable, cuz he came back.
Speaker 2:There's lots people in Hollywood that you know. Robert blake didn't come back, so right, you know like uh, the other guy there who didn't come back there, he's living in switzerland or whatever. Um what snowden, edward snowden no, no the movie director there, he, oh yeah yeah but he left and like he's still making movies.
Speaker 2:I'm surprised anyone makes movies with him, because again another freaking outed pedophile right, oh shit yeah and he's making movies and I can't remember his name right now, but whatever, either way, the minute he lands in the United States, he's done. He's going to get arrested, but he's living in a neutral country that won't extradite. Wow, arrested, but he's living in a neutral country that won't extradite, Makes movies in other parts of the world that won't arrest him. Kind of thing, right.
Speaker 6:Still making millions, Still making millions exactly.
Speaker 2:Just shows you it's a messed up industry sometimes.
Speaker 1:So you guys going to ever get back into music?
Speaker 4:Actually, yeah, our theme song. Call it a song if it's just music.
Speaker 1:Anyways, your intro is just a beat.
Speaker 4:You're jingling, I produce that Okay, and I'm working on. I'm on a Facebook page, it's called 902 Artists, where we promote a bunch of artists, right Okay? So I came up with an idea that we're going to work together and put out like a mixtape.
Speaker 1:Can I be on it? Sure, I might make a comeback too. Man, yeah, why not, I'll be on it.
Speaker 4:Let's take some 90s nails on the floor. So yeah, when I get some time, I am going to do some more producing and I wrote some lyrics, so I'm back in the rapping.
Speaker 2:So yeah, cool producing and I wrote some lyrics. I'm in back in the rap and so, yeah, cool. Well, I mean, you know, well, I see on your sorry, I see on your bio that you guys analyze like spice girl, uh lyrics there. So, uh, that's what's on their bio. Yeah, yeah, on their bio they analyze spice girl lyrics.
Speaker 2:So yeah, we had to put on. I gotta read this. I gotta. I gotta, like you know, hear some sort of like hip hop spice girl, like can I mix? There was one episode where he started talking about the I gotta, like you know, hear some sort of like hip-hop Spice Girls.
Speaker 4:There was one episode where we started talking about the Spice Girls. Spice Girls, I'm sure we did I forget what it was Probably probably man we talk about so much.
Speaker 5:Probably. Probably we go on tangents every once in a while, right, so we just go down them rabbit holes. I love it yeah.
Speaker 2:I love it. I mean, your bio talks about how you go on like you talk about mental health, which I think is really important, not just mental health in general, but I think male mental health is something that's really important to talk about, just because you know there's a, especially in the hip-hop world there is a stigma of, like you know, you just got to put that face up.
Speaker 3:You got to be tough right, you got to be tough, exactly.
Speaker 2:You can't have struggles, you got to. Just you know, outward aggression.
Speaker 1:Right, I read something today. Actually I was on Facebook. A guy I know named Jim was an actor. I posted it and it was just about. You know the people that are in your life that don't leave their house. You haven't heard from them in a long time. You think they might hate you or they might be ghosting you, or they say they'll come to the party and they don't show up right check in on them and you know, yeah, make sure they're
Speaker 6:doing okay and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:That really resonated right. Like you know, I felt that a lot because it's just sometimes. You know, I'm not one to always go to the party. Sometimes I just stay home, right, and I know what that feels like and I and I bet you there's a lot of other people out there too that probably need that check in every once in a while right, right right and well when sometimes we take it personal if someone doesn't show up for your birthday or for an event, or someone doesn't like your podcast right and I'm like why don't you hit the like button, but you know you never took a second to Always hit the like button.
Speaker 1:But you never took a second to understand what's that person going through, right?
Speaker 2:now Are they doing okay?
Speaker 6:Yeah, true, true. So you're absolutely right. Yeah, like, yeah, it's good you guys are talking about too 100 yeah yeah, so it's, it's interesting.
Speaker 2:I, I, uh, I was actually another thing because I saw you guys, uh, mike was saying that you guys kind of broke it down a little bit about, uh, you know, tupac and biggie and stuff like that, and I actually heard something a interview recently with ice cube. I thought it was really interesting and you guys may have seen this, but it was interesting. They asked them about, uh, the both of their killings, asked Ice Cube about it and said, like you know, basically, what do you think happened there, kind of thing. And he answered he was like you know, I think the Tupac thing he was like it really seems like he had a beef with somebody earlier that day and it just came back and ended up not great, but the thing I found most interesting was his follow-up.
Speaker 2:He said Biggie seemed more like like an actual assassination to try to like take him out for some reason for whoever it may be. But he kind of hinted like powers that be type of thing. So I thought that was interesting because I never really saw it that way. But obviously I mean, you know who's closer to the industry than ice cube, right?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, I know he's always been a real voice. Real voice too, I feel like he's always been very honest and very direct in his feelings.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Right or wrong. I've always appreciated his view. He shows up on Bill Maher a lot.
Speaker 6:Really.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And Bill Maher did kind of a racist joke one time, oh yeah, and he got called out. Twitter called him out. Know, race joke, you know use the N word in a joke, right. He brought Ice Cube on for kind of a reality check. I think a couple episodes later and Ice Cube was so intelligent the way he answered the question, the way he kind of subverted the conversation, right, it's like he realized Bill Maher wasn't an enemy. He still said a stupid thing though right.
Speaker 1:It was kind of like you know he's still an ally but you still have to kind of check yourself sometimes. In a certain sense, in a certain light, I think it was an important way that he did it. He did such a great job of it I couldn't articulate it, but it was really cool right. I've always loved Ice Cube man. I think he's one of the best. That's like you know he's the meanest looking face.
Speaker 5:He always looks exactly, but you know what?
Speaker 2:like there's a lot of respect to him because, I mean, he's had, like he married his high school sweetheart yeah, he's been, you know, loyal to his, to this girl, since he was 17 years old and yet he's sitting there, like you know he's talking, you know nwa talking about, like you know, the toughest, hardest things, putting on that front, as we kind of said, of like being the toughest, hardest, hardest guy and meanwhile he's a family man doing Daddy's Home.
Speaker 6:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I think too. It's like in the 90s we had such Rappers look so much tougher than they do today. Right, even like the last 10 years, 15 years, rappers got a lot. You know they don't look like they could beat you up anymore, oh hell no.
Speaker 4:I think we said something about that before. We said that growing up, rappers were like drug dealers. They were doing it to get out of the hood. Back then they were like the drug dealers and hustlers and whatever. And now the rappers look like the people that them hustlers sold the drugs to. You're not far off right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's smaller. What do you guys not far off? Right, but yeah, it's like smaller. I mean, what do you guys like? I mean hip hop today is? I mean it's so different, right, it really it's changed and I mean that's good. I mean, in order for a genre music to survive, it's going to have to continuously evolve. I'm hoping robot rappers phase out soon.
Speaker 3:We're getting close, boys, we're getting close boys any day any day, we're gonna stop here and auto too, right, you know what I mean? Like all that to me. So it'll be AI DJs, man, I don't know yeah.
Speaker 4:AI DJs, ai DJs.
Speaker 1:I use one in the car on Spotify. See, that's what I know he's like.
Speaker 3:I heard you like that new Taylor Swift yeah oh they talk to you he talks to me man, oh my, oh, my gosh, that's my whole gimmick, plus my stepdaughter.
Speaker 1:she uses my Spotify account. She's obsessed with Taylor Swift, right? So all I'm hearing is a bunch of hip-hop mixed in with Taylor Swift songs. So it's not a perfect storm, right? No, no.
Speaker 4:That's why I got the family pack.
Speaker 1:I got the family pack too, she's got her own profile. Yeah, she has her own profile now but she still messes up mine because it's in all the devices in the house and stuff.
Speaker 4:Because you have algorithms like that. Some used to do that with Netflix, yeah, and I'd go sit down and all these animes. I'm like I don't even watch anime. But that's all the suggestions of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't do the anime, I can't do anime.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no Anime for you, or well? I used to watch some Dragon.
Speaker 3:Ball Z.
Speaker 1:Okay, oh, that's yeah. Yeah, I love watching balls. Yeah, it's not like the big does.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know. Cartoon now.
Speaker 1:We're gonna do things.
Speaker 3:So I don't know this stuff.
Speaker 2:I'm not, I don't follow that, but yeah, see guys, I play football with all like anime. I never got it.
Speaker 3:I was kind of like I was like nah, like why, what?
Speaker 2:what's up with that? Right? Yeah, I used to ask them like why do you guys like that stuff? And they were just like they gave me a good answer, right, you know, a buddy of mine said like he was like well, it's, you know, it's all about that inner power kind of thing. Right, that's what they focus on, I guess. And I was like all right, well, I get that, I guess a little bit I still don't like it, but that's cool, I'm glad you do.
Speaker 1:I like Power Rangers.
Speaker 6:That was kind of like anime, wasn't it? Power Rangers anime.
Speaker 4:No, it's not anime.
Speaker 1:Live action anime.
Speaker 4:Live action anime. I thought sort of Maybe.
Speaker 6:Not everything from Goku power off for 10 episodes before he does something there.
Speaker 4:Yeah, Free cyber.
Speaker 6:I like that.
Speaker 1:I know, you guys pick on the DJ a lot of getting that vibe, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:I heard that in the show too, man that's not cool thanks man
Speaker 6:thank you my mental health tell them you're the only one that you know actually booking gigs, right now oh oh, I get beat, I get beat, I get beat, I get beat, I get beat, I get beat, I get beat, I get beat. Just joking, that was a low blow man, I can't go there, man.
Speaker 4:The evolution of hip hop by the way, I get paid for my acting, so I'm getting paid, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:So acting, sorry. So you actually told us just before we sat down yeah, acting story. So you actually told us just before we sat down yeah, that's right, 48-hour film you got into that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, tell us about that. I got these guys' roles on it.
Speaker 2:That's a fun thing to do, by the way, I did it twice, yeah, yeah, fun Stressful.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you got 48 hours to make a full movie, okay, and I did all the editing and I starred in it, and me and my cousin wrote it and directed it.
Speaker 2:So what were the three things they gave you? Because they gave you three things. What were the?
Speaker 4:three things they gave you this year. The three things was a character which the name was Jay Knockwood Okay, and he had to be a travel agent, okay. The second thing was a feather had to be in it, and then a phrase, and it was I had a dream, okay, a phrase, and it was. I had a dream, okay, okay. So in our movie we made it that jay knockward that's who I played was, uh, a time travel agent, okay, and um, I, just the feather part. I use that as, like my pen, yeah, before my like, uh, what's it called? Yeah, like that's a stylus for a stylus.
Speaker 4:So that's how we got those two elements in. And for the third element, we had three different scenes, so three different clients came in and one of them was played by my sister and her son was struggling in history, so she wanted to take him back in time to Martin Luther King's. I had a Dream.
Speaker 2:Makes sense. Now, technically it's called the I have a Dream. Okay, but we called it I.
Speaker 4:Had a Dream. Makes sense. Technically it's called the I have a Dream Okay, but we called it. I had a Dream Okay To meet the requirements.
Speaker 6:Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:And yeah, it was fun. It was fun, yeah, it was really cool, man Especially sitting there, tell them about our parts.
Speaker 3:man, come on, what's going on?
Speaker 5:My sister was in it.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 6:People have two guys next to me. Matt, he has cuffs on the whole movie. They were experts.
Speaker 3:He has cuffs on the whole movie. There's nothing else. My sister is in it. You guys can speak for yourselves. Oh, my bad, sorry. Is that where you go with that?
Speaker 6:What for?
Speaker 4:yourself oh, my god, sorry, is that where you go with that? Well? Well, you didn't even vote for the movie. Oh man, he didn't vote for the movie. Oh, he might know email. What do you mean? You didn't vote for the movie. It was a voting process. There's an audience award you didn't vote for your own movie.
Speaker 3:I was trying to be not biased right.
Speaker 2:So, oh my god, food for some other movies. You know how many votes.
Speaker 1:I put in for us on the coast right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I got nine different emails.
Speaker 2:But anyway, yeah. So what did you guys do?
Speaker 3:I don't want to say why I didn't vote, but anyway.
Speaker 1:I heard a bit of it in the other. I was listening to the podcast, man, so I heard a little bit about your show.
Speaker 4:He didn't vote because it cost $7 to sign up.
Speaker 3:Who charges?
Speaker 6:to vote. Man, that is kind of crazy. That is crazy. You want to know why they did.
Speaker 4:It's because the money would go to. It's the prize for the people that won.
Speaker 3:So I want to give somebody my $7.
Speaker 4:$7. It would have been us.
Speaker 1:We could have won. Did you lose by one vote? We've lost by two Lost by two votes, for real, though.
Speaker 6:No, that's why they're not getting mentioned. That's it.
Speaker 3:That makes sense. That's what's going on my sister voted.
Speaker 1:She voted. You can hear the whole story on A. We started a podcast, oh, dang.
Speaker 2:So yeah, we get some fun questions here. You want to?
Speaker 1:get into those now, Sure Jeez. Okay, so we had Premier Tim Wilson on the show and we did like 10 questions. These ones are the entertainment edition. His were a little bit more kind of political. There's a little, maybe a political question. Definitely some entertainment questions on here, nothing that will get you in trouble.
Speaker 4:I see the first one already. All right, that's the first one.
Speaker 3:That's the first question We've got lots of time.
Speaker 6:We're going to take our time on these questions.
Speaker 1:Everybody can answer individually. I'll tell you mine if you want to hear it. Oh, yeah, yeah, no shame, alright, heated questions. Question one Kendrick or Drake?
Speaker 3:Oh, that's where you're going with that man. I'll let him go first you go first, man, I didn't say my answer or you explained my answer.
Speaker 1:No, you explained it Drake, drake, and what?
Speaker 3:I don't know. I feel like I have more connection with Drake when I was growing up. That's fair, that's fair. I have more connection with his albums. You know Kendrick was good but I kind of jumped on to Kendrick afterwards. I didn't enjoy Good. Kid Mad City, it was good, but I feel like Drake had a longer and better career.
Speaker 1:By good do you mean like one of the best CDs ever?
Speaker 3:Good Kid, mad City. Yeah, capacity, yeah, as a full album. Yes, it's an incredible record. Yes, as the full. Yes, that's why I always focus on albums, and that's an album, incredible, a lot of albums, they're all like, they're all over the place.
Speaker 5:Yeah, but that's like a flow of a story and like yeah it's beautiful, it all makes
Speaker 1:no ties in the skits tie in I like, damn too. Another great kendrick. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, probably my. Those two are my favorite kendrick records. I think we know what your answer is then yeah, every time you say Drake, I'm just going to think Kendrick, that's as exciting as I may know what do you think, oh me yeah.
Speaker 4:Kendrick, for sure Kendrick. Oh wow, kendrick for sure.
Speaker 4:My reasoning is because part of what you said with the albums. I find that when I listen to their albums, I find that when I listen to their albums I'll always skip more on Drake's albums than I would on a Kendrick album. I'll listen to his albums all the way through. Now Drake probably has bigger hits and if I was to make mixtapes for people coming over and whatever, you'd hear a lot more Drake on it than Kendrick. But I can listen to all of Kendrick's albums, beginning to end, and only skip sometimes the skits and that's all. But yeah, drake has a lot more songs that I skip on his albums.
Speaker 1:Now you remember we're having a Rick Ross guy right. Forget it, I'm like Rick Ross, I can fight.
Speaker 5:I'm Kendrick as well. And just, I never really cared for Drake, ever since he came out. He had a few songs that I liked, but I hate it. Yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 1:You know, I think Drake's first two records were good, I mean his first record. I mean he was a kid Like he came out. Lil Wayne found him. That first album was solid, oh yeah. I mean, there was what was his first album. Was that? Take Care care. You know that's before take care uh, thank me later.
Speaker 4:Thank me later, right? Oh, yeah, that's what I mean. You're my everything, yes, yes, and all those things. That was that's my. That's still my favorite. That was maybe my favorite drake song, right, and then my second favorite drake song was that martin song, marvin song, marvin's room uh marvin's room.
Speaker 1:Was that take care? Right, that's take care, yeah, and that's the second album right second album yeah so it was those two albums I had, and then after that. I kind of You're off it. Yeah, I kind of lost my love for Drake. Now Kendrick Lamar is a different story. I mean, I've watched his concert twice, like you know, the one that's on Prime have you seen that?
Speaker 3:No, I would watch it.
Speaker 1:Dude, it's on rap. I mean, you can go as far back as you want. He took every lesson that there was to learn about how to be an amazing rapper and he studied everyone, even with Eminem. He did a song with Eminem and he told Eminem he studied Eminem. He took rappers like a class right. So when he got there in the booth with them. He was so freaking great like, uh, in terms of an mc he's, I think he's just more accomplished than anyone else you know what he'd be a hard dude to be.
Speaker 4:He sounds like that's what he did. He sounds like he studied.
Speaker 1:He sounds like he has a lot of m&m, especially if you hear him on a song, uh, uh, uh, when they do a song together, it's on the marshall mathers lp2 album, right. So m&m and they do a song together, it's on the Marshall Mathers LP2 album, right. So Eminem and they do a song called Love Game, yes, and it's the two of them going back and forth and I find Eminem's a great rapper in my opinion. I mean, you know, great technical sound rapper and arguably Eminem not different than Drake. I like the first few entries of Eminem more than I like the last. You know six or eight, right, whatever, but like I know, he's still an amazing technical rapper, right, I mean just the way he puts syllables together. It's like nobody else, right. And Kendrick, just you know it's hard to kind of stay on his level, that young in the game.
Speaker 6:And he, just, he topped it right Like he tops it, he, he topped it right, like he tops it.
Speaker 1:He always tops it right, so I'd go with Kendrick.
Speaker 6:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he got 12-year-old girls singing minor.
Speaker 3:Wow, and I don't know, you know, that's a win right.
Speaker 2:Like I don't know any other rapper that got beat that bad ever.
Speaker 1:Nope Ever. I never saw any other rapper get beat that bad ever you got junior high girls going A minor and the kids going like something wrong with Drake.
Speaker 3:Like you know, they're saying that right, they really are, they are, they are.
Speaker 5:They are the only rapper I'll say got beat. That bad or worse was Ja Rule, yes oh yeah Of worst was Ja Rule.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, Of course he would. Of course he would. He would be fine if it wouldn't be Ja Rule right now. Yeah, Ben Zews got it pretty bad too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, ben Zews got it pretty bad too, you know what though?
Speaker 2:I actually think that the most hilarious beef thing, whatever that ever happened, was when 50 Cent went out and bought the first six rows of job just so his front rows would all be empty. Man, that's hilarious. I mean, he sure he still got paid but like you have a front your front six rows. It's hard to get in a show exactly when your front six rows were never empty.
Speaker 3:What did you say? Benzene? No, no, no, I was. I said benzene.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, but the reason why I don't put benzene is getting beat as bad, because he was never as high as the other guys were right, like drake is well he owned the source top. Well, he owned the source.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he owned the source but charts-wise, like when I was a kid I bought the source Like because all hip-hop kids bought the source back then I did and you had every single friggin' issue. Oh, yeah, yeah and then. So then, all of a sudden, one day, a stink about Eminem and it ruined the source.
Speaker 6:Like it's weird, god.
Speaker 1:it was like the magazine's trying to be about the machine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, comic books in there about Eminem and JV and the machine trying to destroy hip hop.
Speaker 6:Yeah, couldn't stop buying them. That was, that was this all happened dude it was crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, had the source, if you liked hip-hop yeah even here in nova scotia you couldn't get the record, but you could get the source magazine telling you about the record oh yeah, it was like a hip-hop bible.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I just get the source, but I didn't know, benji, you know, I had no list of and when he got it with m&m he ruined that magazine, I know, and that's so disappointing man, because it was such a good magazine yeah yeah you look for the unsigned emotional.
Speaker 4:They had the what, the uh, the verse of what was the verse of the?
Speaker 1:oh geez, that we call verse of the week. Yeah, I remember the hype bars or something like that I know unsigned hype was an artist that wasn't big.
Speaker 1:He was a deal when he before he got signed as an unsigned hype I remember making noise that aren't signed yet pitbull and they're just buying an ad in the magazine years before he's famous, right, yeah and uh, yes. Like it was unbelievable, right and uh. So so many rappers were in that magazine and the mics to get in the five mics would be like the, the ultimate honor as a rapper yeah, I'd be like a comedian making it on the johnny carson show something like that right oh my gosh, what an amazing.
Speaker 1:uh, anyways, yeah, so, so let's go on to the next question Marvel or DC. We'll start with you again, man, marvel or DC. You guys did an episode about this, episode 89.
Speaker 3:I wasn't on that episode, oh no.
Speaker 2:Here's your chance. Here's your chance.
Speaker 3:I'm not all into comics and all that stuff, but I feel like I watch more Marvel movies.
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 1:I watch more.
Speaker 3:Marvel movies. Sure, I, probably I don't understand. I shouldn't say I understand it more than DC, but I go Marvel DC's more Batman, yeah, batman, yeah, yeah. What Superman and what Wonder Woman and all.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, yeah, flash, yeah, cyborg.
Speaker 3:I like the.
Speaker 4:Marvel movies better, I shouldn't say movies, but I'll go with.
Speaker 3:Marvel I'm surprised you didn't, I'm surprised you didn't either.
Speaker 2:Those are all the right answers. I'm going to be the odd man and I'm going to go with DC.
Speaker 4:I love Batman. Though Batman and the Flash, I'm going to go with.
Speaker 1:DC for Batman alone.
Speaker 2:But Superman's lame man.
Speaker 1:He is.
Speaker 6:Superman's kind of lame.
Speaker 2:I'm a villains guy. Batman has great villains by far. I don't know X-Men got good villains.
Speaker 1:I'm a villains guy. Batman has great villains by far.
Speaker 4:He has great villains, all the best villains. I don't know X-Men got good villains too. X-men have great villains. Spider-man has great villains. Oh yes, spider-man.
Speaker 2:Listen the best villains like Thanos and Doctor Doom are better than probably any villains in DC, though. That's the thing.
Speaker 4:The Joker, though the Joker's iconic, joker's iconic.
Speaker 2:He's absolutely iconic, I like the Penguin too.
Speaker 1:Actually, I like the Riddler and the Riddler, riddler's great.
Speaker 2:Catwoman Hello.
Speaker 4:Michelle Pfeiffer.
Speaker 2:Catwoman's amazing yeah.
Speaker 4:Even Ra's al Ghul. No, no, listen, they have great ones, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2:Batman is the best. So this is what I was saying. I'm a villains guy, so if the like the character, the problem with it is outside of Batman, the villains stink.
Speaker 4:They stink. I can agree with that. Most of Superman's villains, I'm like.
Speaker 2:It's a bald businessman who seems to get the upper hand on Superman who's? Invincible, are you kidding?
Speaker 4:me, it's the comic book Donald Trump Seriously, who lost his?
Speaker 2:hair. I'm a dreamer. Oh it's. You lose, Come on.
Speaker 4:Even the Flash's villains are kind of lame.
Speaker 2:It's the reverse Flash. Yeah, the.
Speaker 4:Flash's?
Speaker 6:Yeah, Like none of them should be a match for you I have one idea yeah, this guy runs really fast this guy runs really fast in reverse yeah.
Speaker 4:And that's not even the only one, because then they got Zoom.
Speaker 2:He's another reverse Flash.
Speaker 4:He's another River Splash, and they had one that was in black. That's right. Like the people, just run fast.
Speaker 1:I'll go with DC because I like the grit, I like the darker stories, I find DC gets into some real conversation.
Speaker 4:You haven't read Daredevil eh.
Speaker 1:I read Daredevil.
Speaker 4:Or Moon Knight. Those are some dark.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I saw the Disney Plus show it wasn't that dark, but are the comics dark for Moon Knight?
Speaker 4:oh yeah yeah the comics have a lot to do with mental health and stuff like cause he's, he's nuts.
Speaker 1:Basically, he has much more personality it wasn't my favorite show, the Marvel stuff no it was nah, I love Daredevil. I loved that whole era before the MCU happened, where it was Daredevil, luke Cage, that was still during the MCU.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, but they were all awesome. They were the Netflix shows, they were all really good, I'm catching my son up on that now.
Speaker 4:Just today, before I came here, we finished the last episode of season two of Daredevil, oh cool. And then we're watching Luke Cage next. Because we're going in the order, because then, they got the team up one. Yeah that's right oh yeah, my kids love that Luke.
Speaker 1:Cage was amazing, but they killed the best villain ever in the whole thing that's what everyone says in that first season. Yeah, that's just because he's a good actor, he was just an amazing actor he was so fierce and then they prodded the next guy and I'm like who's this loser?
Speaker 4:he.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's Marcello Alli, yeah, marcello. He's awesome, he's awesome.
Speaker 1:He's amazing at anything. He does. As a villain. He was crazy, he was a wicked villain. No, he's a great actor. He almost had Luke with the rocket launcher in that episode. I think it was one of the best moments on TV ever, right, but anyways, yeah, blade. So did you guys see the Deadpool or Deadpool Wolverine?
Speaker 3:I didn't see it. I didn't see it.
Speaker 1:I want to see it still though Can I tell you that Blade makes an appearance in it. Is that spoiling it for you?
Speaker 3:No, Two ladies.
Speaker 2:Can I spoil it and tell you it's a spoiler?
Speaker 3:Can I tell you he's in it.
Speaker 1:I would love to see Wesley Snipes retire as old Blade with the new. Blade coming in. I think that would be the coolest send-off ever, you never know.
Speaker 4:It got a lot of good feedback, right.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, it was awesome seeing him again.
Speaker 4:And just so you know, every Marvel movie I see open at night.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I go Thursdays Every night, yeah, or open at night, no. I can't say that. I try, but it never works out.
Speaker 2:I see most of them in theaters though yeah. So, so next question, all right.
Speaker 1:This is on directors, though, so another movie entertainment one, uh-oh. Just pick your favorite director of the two, and if you don't know either, you can pass. It's okay, just take a drink.
Speaker 3:Thank, God All right.
Speaker 1:Quentin Tarantino or Martin Scorsese.
Speaker 3:Oh right, I don't even know Tarantino movies you don't know, tarantino, tarantino movies oh. I thought you said you don't.
Speaker 1:So Scorsese was like did you ever see Goodfellas? Yeah, okay, well, that was probably my favorite movie of his, but he's done. Scorsese's body of work is amazing, dude. I see Goodfellas I don't really like.
Speaker 3:Tarantino movies you don't like them. I didn't like Django. No, I didn't like Kill Bill.
Speaker 1:I didn't like him. What? Why didn't you like him?
Speaker 3:Why didn't you like him? If you don't want me to ask, I'm just curious. I don't know. They just seem a little. It's not real life.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Over the top.
Speaker 2:Oh he's a comic book, yeah.
Speaker 4:It's a star.
Speaker 2:Fiction's yeah, my favorite. That's one of my favorite movies Once.
Speaker 1:Upon a Time in Hollywood's probably my favorite of all.
Speaker 6:That's a great one.
Speaker 4:I think it was just the best contextual story. It's just the hateful eight.
Speaker 2:That was great too. Everything I like, every single one, me too.
Speaker 3:I like Goodfellas because it's like gangster no listen, I love gangster.
Speaker 2:My favorite movie of all time is like Godfather 1, godfather 2.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Literally, 1 and 2 are my favorite movies. Who would you pick on this list?
Speaker 1:Matt oh Tarantino, for me Tarantino over Scorsese, I mean.
Speaker 2:Scorsese has some great movies. I'm into the mobster stuff. Like if I Like I would work, like just love it.
Speaker 4:Does Scorsese do casino?
Speaker 1:Yes, yes he did so who are you?
Speaker 3:picking Scorsese. Now, who are you picking? Oh, Tarantino man.
Speaker 6:You're Tarantino, I'm taking a drink on both.
Speaker 2:You're both. I mean both are great.
Speaker 1:I'm both too but I would actually I'd go with Scorsese only because of the range of his work. So Scorsese also did Taxi Driver. You guys ever see that?
Speaker 6:one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right. So Taxi Driver is a wicked movie to go back and watch, man, if you have an. Al Pacino plays this like a crazy taxi driver that just loses his shit basically Throughout the course of the film. And then he takes Robert De Niro again and he does a movie called it's either called the Last Comedian. Yeah, is it the Last?
Speaker 3:Comedian Irishman.
Speaker 2:No, no, this is way early in his career, man.
Speaker 6:This is like where I was born.
Speaker 1:I think it's called the Last Comedian or something like that, but anyways, it's about a guy that's obsessed with a talk show host and he wants to be a talk show host but he's a loser and he's in his mom's basement and he's got cardboard cutouts and he pretends he's on a talk show every day. Anyways, he ends up kidnapping an actual talk show host in this movie and this kind of the whole thing just kind of plays out but like craziest movie.
Speaker 1:I'm going to check that and he could get like he could get the best acting range out of people ever seen.
Speaker 2:He did Wolf of Wall Street. I mean you're also talking about De Niro, oh Wolf of Wall Street, that's. Scorsese too, that's Scorsese.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, that's which one Wolf of Wall Street, that's not solid, yeah, that's. Scorsese.
Speaker 5:He's invited because of the titties.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's a movie man. I'm not a huge book reader and it was called Bringing Out the Dead and it's about paramedic drivers in Hell's Kitchen, right? So like a paramedic driver in the worst place in the world a paramedic driver or not the world, but probably North America right like just crazy stuff happening on the streets and basically he made the movie version of it with Nicolas Cage came out like 95, 96.
Speaker 1:Okay, insane film, right. I mean, he just never stops, I mean, and now he's still making movies to this day. I think he's got another one coming out.
Speaker 3:Did he do Great Gatsby as well?
Speaker 4:No, I don't think so, man. No, I don't think so. I can't remember who that was.
Speaker 1:I think that was somebody else. Good film yeah.
Speaker 3:I've seen that that was a good movie. Yeah, I just thought.
Speaker 2:Trudeau or Pauly F. Oh, we're getting political.
Speaker 1:Pass.
Speaker 3:I'm from the Bahamas.
Speaker 2:You're from the Truro.
Speaker 5:I'm from the Bahamas Pass, I don't know. I can't pass Either.

Speaker 1:Best artist.
Speaker 3:You go first, man. Yeah, that's a tough one. I never had a side on this one. I always was in the middle, yeah, but who did you?
Speaker 1:like more. Did you put one in the CD player?
Speaker 3:No, you don't know what.
Speaker 1:CD player is oh my God, I have a CD player.
Speaker 3:I just played it Jesus, but no, if you agree, dang. No, I'll say Tupac, to be politically safe. Sure, biggie's the closest to the name. Comes out tomorrow, hey, biggie was, oh no, let me stop. Comes out tomorrow, hey Biggie. Oh no, let me stop talking. Okay, I got two back though.
Speaker 1:You'll be safe yeah.
Speaker 4:Juicy, I might, I might. Ah, see, this is harder than I thought it would be. I saw a meme today About the late Biggie's lazy eye.
Speaker 1:That was just to keep one eye on Diddy. That was funny. Biggie never really had lazy eyes Just to keep one eye on.
Speaker 5:Diddy.
Speaker 6:I see that too. That was funny.
Speaker 4:Biggie never really had lazy eyes. Just keep one eye on Diddy the whole time. I think I might say Biggie, he has more like I listen to. This is almost like Kendrick and Drake. Again, I listen to more, but the opposite, Because I listen to Pac's albums more, but I think I only skipped more because he had more stuff to skip. He had thick albums.
Speaker 1:Tupac put out a lot of material in a short time.
Speaker 4:So of course, you put out a lot. You're going to find a lot of songs that are not that good.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Where Biggie he had less stuff, I'd skip right. And plus he did the. What with Method man? He did Only you With 112.
Speaker 6:And he did the B-Side.
Speaker 4:One of my favorite songs with Da Brat the B-Side.
Speaker 1:I can't. I don't know if I know that song. I'll have to check that out.
Speaker 4:It was on the Bad Boys soundtrack.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, I would have noticed it. I would have had that CD.
Speaker 4:So yeah, biggie, I'm both, I'm both, all, Both.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 6:I'm both. Yeah, okay, take a drink my friend, I'm both.
Speaker 5:What, yes, man, you're both, you're Biggie.
Speaker 1:I'm Biggie 100%.
Speaker 5:Always been Biggie and I don't think it'll ever change. Yeah, no man, I actually went back Coast guy, but even during that whole feud I was still banging Biggie just as much as I was banging Pop. So I'm both.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I could choose, because I mean, realistically, there's a couple when I think about it if I was like, okay, I'm going to pick. If it had to pick three songs from each, I don't know if I could pick three songs over the other three songs that are my top, that I want to listen to. That I know through and through you know the Renaissance era or Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 6:Leonardo Michaelangelo, all those guys.
Speaker 1:I think about in rap. When I think about that, I think of Biggie Jay-Z, busta Rhymes. Those dudes were all right next to each other, going like the same school or neighboring schools and such and I mean the concentration of performances. Those guys just knew how to perform better than anybody else man like biggie to me, I mean his bars just blew your mind every time he rapped yeah, holy smokes right.
Speaker 2:So what about the uh rumors there that he stole someone else's image and they just paid that?
Speaker 4:that I gotta go oh, oh, yeah, you ever see that, yeah, basically stole the whole guy's image sound everything.
Speaker 4:Yeah, what's? He was like a salaryman, p Diddy. And something else came up where P Diddy's ex something I forget her name put out a book and said that, and she said that she paid people to teach. Sorry, diddy paid people to teach Biggie how to rap Biggie how to rap Biggie had to do all this stuff. And then he paid for the beats and claimed and said that he was making them. So I was like man.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 4:But still, even if he paid and did it, he still did it himself.
Speaker 1:He's still a good rapper, but Tupac too. You know one story, but you don't know the whole story. He was at ballet school.
Speaker 6:That's right.
Speaker 1:He really was like there's a lot of contradict information. In high school I did, I did my project on biggie when we had to pick a poet and or on tupac when we had to pick a poet in school right, and I remember my high school project and I mean I was like mad when I after I did all my did it
Speaker 1:yeah, after I did all my research on tupac, i'm'm like man. This guy is a hypocrite. I mean I know that's controversial to say, but there was a lot of stuff that he was saying that was very much the opposite from what he was doing Now he was acting almost at all times and I'm like who really is this guy? Be somebody or not be somebody? But I like authenticity over everything.
Speaker 2:Right EZE what EZE. Everything right and easy, what easy that guy lived a life easy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why it's crazy we had the same kind of project in high school too.
Speaker 4:I chose dmx. Okay, I chose too far and dmx.
Speaker 1:I mean, talk about authenticity. Yeah, I can't say the word very well, I did my best, but uh. But yeah, like dmx was so raw, so honest in his music that you just felt a part of it listening to it, right?
Speaker 3:so I always felt that Tupac was who should wanted him to be yeah, he wanted wanted yeah, it's like you know, I mean you know what his respect to.
Speaker 1:He was young man also listen to pop.
Speaker 4:It was 20 so after death row right and you can see the difference yeah, you can see what he was rapping about and how he was rapping.
Speaker 3:If you listen to Me Against the World Tupac Lips listen to. That Sounds political.
Speaker 4:Totally different than when he went to jail. But you know when you're in jail and someone's giving you money to get out. I'd do it too, thug love.
Speaker 2:Alright. So question number six, not as complicated, I would say. I'd say it's just as controversial, very controversial. Pineapple on pizza, for sure, all right.
Speaker 3:Hell, no, man, hell, no, hell. No, that's too juicy for pizzas man Too juicy for the pizza.
Speaker 5:Yeah, no, I'm with it, I'll do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my girlfriend was a vegetarian and I think pineapple with bacon on a pizza is what helped bring her over back to the pizza.
Speaker 2:I really do think it was one of the things. So.
Speaker 1:I'll be for it.
Speaker 2:Listen, you want to up that game. You get that Hawaiian pizza and throw jalapenos on it. I'm telling you the heat and the sweet.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you, you'll convert, you will convert. So you're the only no pineapple boy.

Speaker 5:We won't hold that against you, shouldn't Greatest team in NFL history Greatest quarterback?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that too, at least you admit it. All right, number nine If animals could talk, which species would be the rudest, and why? Cats.
Speaker 6:Yeah, that's quick.
Speaker 3:Cats, okay, cats, especially Kizzy's cat.
Speaker 1:What's the why, though, you've?
Speaker 3:got to give the why. You can see it in their face what they really want to say, Just the stare down and the interruption and all that.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay. I think cat people understand that cats are assholes. I love cats.
Speaker 4:For sure I'm a cat person. I understand that I actually don't think they'd be the rudest, because I think that even if they could talk, they wouldn't say shit to you, they just ignore you. I got hyenas.
Speaker 5:Hyenas.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's a probably a lion lion king type of animal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I wouldn't want to mess with a hyena. I'd say ostrich man, ostrich man, yeah, because they got the feathers. Because they got the feathers, it scared the shit out of me, man.
Speaker 4:I don't know. I think seagulls.
Speaker 6:All you'd be hearing them say is you're going to eat that, you're going to eat that, you're going to eat that.
Speaker 4:While they're all just hovering around waiting for you to drop some food.
Speaker 2:That's interesting. I don't know. I just hovering around waiting for you to drop some food. That's interesting. I don't know. I'm leaning cats honestly because I think they could be. Maybe it's just. I think it's a homeward bound in the back of the sassy.
Speaker 5:She was like, she was just terrible. So I think that's haunting me in the back of my head. You know what, though? Every cartoon movie, the cat usually pretty the ignorantest person on the show, yeah yeah, I think they're better than everybody you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Listen, my cat he's an asshole.
Speaker 5:Your cat's an asshole, he's an asshole.
Speaker 2:I have like freaking scars all over my butt, my cat's the sweetest thing in the world. Yeah, same here it comes, home it talks to me.
Speaker 1:I just go go clean the house with that cat on my shoulder. Swear to God he just chills.
Speaker 6:He thinks it's a parrot or something. He's just the chillest cat in the world.
Speaker 2:Alright, question number 10, to get a little bit more serious. What's the one thing we can all do to make the world a better place.
Speaker 3:Oh man, the one thing that's freaking rough.
Speaker 1:Or what is one thing. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:We just gotta come to power, man. We just got to, you know, good minds got to come to like a power spot where they can make decisions, Because I feel like that's like we're getting real deep now. I feel like that's where a lot of change happens, when people like you could enforce or want change at a lower level. If you get to power I don't know, I wouldn't say how to do it, but get the power at a level, then you could actually like change the lower quadrants.
Speaker 2:That sounds like some type of world.
Speaker 4:That's a good answer, man.
Speaker 3:It sounds like Harvey Gaines.
Speaker 2:You've got to be Snow. Okay, man, thank you, you gotta be snow.
Speaker 4:Okay, man, thank you, that's all right, that's a good answer. Okay, me? I think people better prioritize. Stop stressing the small shit. Find out what's important and get to that. You know how many people stress over video games yeah, no, no, no, I told you I'm not allowed to play now. I'm on blood pressure medication now I can't play no more. Halo, yeah, but people, yeah, you gotta stop stressing over. Prioritize, prioritize, man. People stress over the wrong things and put energy and shit into the wrong things while other shit's just getting under control. That's real.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I love that. That's real. I would say learn to respect each other. You know, I just find that's why the world's coming to shit now, today, anyway, because we don't know how to respect each other. We don't know how to respect other people's culture, we don't know how to respect our own cultures. For that fact, with the power thing, come together, start to respect each other, show some loyalty, want each other all walks of life, and I think the world could spend a little bit better than that, right? Yeah, I like that because I mean realistically.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of talk now with the difference between, like, cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation, yeah, and it seems like there's a fine like veil there. But I mean, you know, like I love other cultures, you know like I I love other cultures.
Speaker 2:Uh, I like to experiment like cooking, other cultures, food things like that right and I thought you can learn a lot about a culture through their food right, oh yeah so it's like it's things like that that you know, I think some people jump to the like, get offended and and label cultural appropriation, but I think you can like just kind of throw yourself into a culture to learn about it without it being like if you're mocking it. That's a totally different thing right, yeah, I understand.
Speaker 2:Like you know, my culture is not your halloween costume type of thing right, I get that yeah but like you know, if you're, you know if you're wearing whatever maybe is, if it's in a respectful way yeah, part of a ceremony or whatever maybe definitely I think that stuff is okay, yeah, right yeah, I don't know right.
Speaker 5:I mean like. Right, I mean like even now you go to the grocery store. Back in the day, the 90s, early 2000s, international foods was a half hour.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Now you go there, it's like three or four hours.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's huge. Three, four hours yeah.
Speaker 5:I got to be careful because I'm allergic to some of that shit.
Speaker 2:But coconut water, I get coconut water, I get all the curry dishes, I get coconut milk, like look, all the different noodles and stuff you can get. Yeah, I mean, so it's down your neck of the woods. I, I used to buy this. Uh, like I know, I think I'm pretty sure it comes from, like you know, kind of your, where you're from, kind of originally. Is true, yeah, like little juice boxes with like peanut drink. Oh yes, that's really popular Like Caribbean style, kind of like peanut drink.
Speaker 3:Is that Chubby? No, no, that's not.
Speaker 2:I can't remember the name. I used to buy it all the time.
Speaker 3:And you used to be able to get it at Walmart, of all places. Oh, this is great. Okay, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6:I can't yeah Through the kind of that.
Speaker 3:Caribbean kind of style. I like it. It's great. I love peanut drinks.
Speaker 6:Yeah, so you do, yeah. Oh God, why Cut? That?

Speaker 4:I'll say mine.
Speaker 1:Just be kind, be open. Have conversations like this, get to know one another. Yeah, you'll realize hey, yeah, I don't agree with everything what that person thinks, but I can still like that person Right, exactly, and that's something we always look for. What's wrong with each other so many times in the day where you just got to look at what's right with one another.
Speaker 2:Right, right, and I think that's a real good way to move forward. I agree. Honestly, I want to make a little bit of a joke. It's also serious because you know, I think what we've done when you look at the different people that we've come through from all different walks of life that we've had on our show.
Speaker 2:I think you know, if you stop and listen because we're not a combative show if you stop and you listen and you have folks like yourself on here and you listen to their story, I think you can learn and like just learn to hear their side of things, from their perspective and not without your bias, right, and so I mean yeah, I mean yeah, listen to our show and just be kind and understand.
