J I D and Ab, so hell yeah, all the way. All the way, all the way, yeah, all the way. All the way. He he picked the right ones.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, he definitely did. Definitely did. I mean, because I mean, like anybody else, you know what I'm saying, wouldn't take it as, you know, serious, you know, as he wanted, you know what I'm saying, to motherfucking take that shit. Like, nigga, get on here, nigga, you know, rap about your motherfucking is, you know what I'm saying? Like, because I'm I'm rapping about my insecurities, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, nigga, I I'm not gonna, you know what I'm saying, say, you know, every, you know, such a fucking man out here, but you know, nigga, it's a lot of motherfuckers out here, bro. Yeah, nigga. Like, insecure, bro.
SPEAKER_00Like, it and it could be anything that you talk about that you just um brought up. It could be job-related, it could be a motherfucker need reinsurance type shit. Yeah. It could be like, uh, damn, I'm gonna go for this position, or I'm gonna go for the position. Am I qualified for this position? Am I ready for this position? Do I have what a tape for this position? It could go anyway. So everybody definitely goes there. It don't never have to be like.
SPEAKER_04Right, because every every fucking body on the goddamn planet has insecurities games. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00It don't never have to be none about it'll have to be about somebody me having it towards somebody think uh from the air side looking towards me. It could be just me and me, like, damn man, do I have what it takes for this shit? Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_04Nah, real shit. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So yeah. Shit.
SPEAKER_04You know, motherfuckers deal with that you don't normally talk about on an everyday basis. This is a song, you know, that you you wouldn't hear coming from your, you know, uh, you know, average hottest rapper right now.
SPEAKER_00But like these days, goddammit.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah, definitely not. Definitely not. You know what I'm saying? Because ain't nobody trying to, you know what I'm saying? Dick, I mean, I would niggas trying to dance.
SPEAKER_00Niggas trying to dance and shit.
SPEAKER_04I would still put Drake in that category.
SPEAKER_00Talking about call me.
SPEAKER_02He done threw his feelings out there a lot.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, he done threw his feelings out there a lot. Yeah, he did. But other than that. Other than that, you know. But those are you know what I'm saying, feelings, you know what I'm saying? Not, you know, insecurities. You know what I'm saying? So that's a definitely difference. But you ain't call me, bitch. You still wouldn't, I mean, I guess that is an insecurity for that nigga.

SPEAKER_00Their opinion and their opinion. Well, we're talking about the girl with the abs of steel, huh?
SPEAKER_04But yeah, you know, definitely giving her icon of the year definitely seems, you know what I'm saying, suitable. Because um, how they, you know, phrase it, uh, icon of the year, this ward, you know, is presented to a culture-defining artist, someone whose impact isn't measured in years, and then the undeniable weight they carry in every room, every conversation, and every corner of the culture that they touch. Yeah. That definitely sounds like Deontay. Yeah, you know, you guys had a motherfucking run right now.
