SPEAKER_05 9:04

So that's dope. That's dope. All right. I need a top three hip hop artists from you. Top three? Yep. Uh just so that people can get a feel of your taste in music.

SPEAKER_04 9:22

You want to do like top three that I listen to right now, or just top three over all people all times.

SPEAKER_05 9:28

If you could do all times, that'd work.

SPEAKER_04 9:30

Um see top three, I'd probably say Red Man. Jeezy and Jay-Z.

SPEAKER_03 9:46

Okay. Jeezy. That's a good three.

SPEAKER_04 9:48

Jeezy made it to my top five. I just wanted to show a little, you know.

SPEAKER_05 9:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 9:54

But I've been listening to a lot of Jeezy lately. Is it because of that um once you went to that concert? No, just before then. I've just been listening to a lot, a lot more Jeezy. I had the ex-Ross out of my listening to. Yeah. So had to go back to Jeezy.

SPEAKER_03 10:11

You can't go wrong with Jeezy.

SPEAKER_05 10:12

Why'd you have the ex-Ross out? Uh because he's corny. Slip a molly in your drink while you that should have that should have been it.

SPEAKER_04 10:21

That should have been the time to stop it, but he performed at the inauguration. Oh, he performed at the uh before the inauguration or something like that. Oh, okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 10:30

Political. Okay. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_04 10:32

Snoop. You're dead. You're gone.

SPEAKER_05 10:34

You're gone. You're dead. Snoop. I don't think Snoop could come back from a lot of. If he put an album out right now. Well, he put album out, what, last year? Uh, I think so.

SPEAKER_04 10:48

Yeah, it wasn't good. No, it was this year, earlier this year.

SPEAKER_05 10:52

Yeah, it wasn't good. I I can't see him coming back with a I can't see him coming back out with a single.

SPEAKER_04 10:59

Snoop is different now. But he's on a whole bunch of stuff. He's on music and stuff. He's always doing stuff though.

SPEAKER_05 11:04

So I just think I don't think he's coming with a single. I don't think he hit the the the radio waves again. There's a couple artists that I think it's over for radio. But radio's not everything. Streaming is everything right now. Alright, guys, y'all want to get into it?

SPEAKER_03 11:24

I guess.

SPEAKER_05 11:25

Yeah, let's do the Jay-Z edition of what we gotta call this something. We gotta call it uh the rundown or something like that. It's the Jay-Z edition. Alright, I'm gonna start it off. I just muscle my way in there. Alright, I think um what's the what's the first one?

SPEAKER_03 11:53

The first one.

SPEAKER_05 11:54

The first category, yes. RB artists that they call that he collab with.

SPEAKER_05 19:32

So, you know. Yeah, this this was his to me, it was his vibe CD. Like you vibe out to this TV.

SPEAKER_04 19:45

No, Dick Summer was on like a Memphis Bleak album or something like that.

SPEAKER_05 19:50

Oh, you're right. It was it was a Memphis Bleak song, too. Matter of fact, yeah, this is a classic. Alright. Just like we said earlier, Jay-Z has been on everybody's remix. He's worked with everybody. So we're gonna do favorite producers. Um that we think went the best with Jay-Z. Um mine gotta be. It gotta be Timbo the King. Timbo the King, I mean just the beats.

SPEAKER_04 20:33

Timbo the sellout king. What do you mean? He sold the culture out to uh Justin Timberlake and the white people. Then he sold the culture out to AI. Can't sell the culture out no more. My bad.

unknown 20:47

Dang.

SPEAKER_04 20:48

I can't say nothing about it. Sell out to Timler.

SPEAKER_05 20:51

I can't say nothing bad about it, but Jay-Z and Timberlin beats. Swiss Beats was there for a minute, but I kind of get tired of Swiss Beats beats sometimes. His beats don't age well. Definitely don't. Some of his songs don't age well.

SPEAKER_04 21:08

Yeah, if you go back and listen to like uh a lock song or a Rough Rider album, it's it's like that Eve album, that Eve album was real hard. But it just sounds dated. Dated, yeah. It sounds dated. I believe it. I believe it.

SPEAKER_05 21:30

Alright, who's next? Cheryl.

SPEAKER_03 21:32

It's my turn, and you got my person, Timbaland.

SPEAKER_05 21:36

Timbo the King? Timbo Timbo the King. What ain't Jigga what?

unknown 21:42

Jigga.

SPEAKER_05 21:43

Nigga what? Oh, I'm Nigga who.

SPEAKER_03 21:47

When this beat came out, follow me.

SPEAKER_05 21:53

I'm telling you, like I thought he was the best rapper in the world at the time. Like, just from this album, it was like, oh, snap. Another. Because you know, back in the day, you didn't get too many good songs back to back to back to back. You might have a space, you might have three songs on the album. This right here, 1998, uh volume two, Hard Not Life classic. The album cover to me. I love that shit. You love that? Yeah, I like all album covers where it's the real picture, the real person doing whatever. You know, they kind of got carried away with art now, but I'm wondering who shot this. The picture?

SPEAKER_04 22:39

Yeah. I wonder what it's Jonathan Manion.

SPEAKER_05 22:42

I don't know. It's hard though. I know that car was his. Yep, so that's mine. Uh Timbo the King.

SPEAKER_03 22:52

Uh this mine's too. Both of us.

SPEAKER_05 22:56

I I changed mine, but that was mine at the beginning. Um B.

SPEAKER_04 23:02

Mmm, Neptunes.

SPEAKER_05 23:04

Neptunes, huh? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:05

My favorite song period in life of all songs is a lore. That's produced by the Neptunes. Okay. But then, you know, he got uh Give It to Me. Uh La La La. Fronting. Uh, excuse me, Miss Remix. Yeah, fronting. He got a whole bunch of he got a whole bunch of stuff with the Neptunes that just, you know. So, yeah, my favorite one with him.

SPEAKER_05 23:31

What album was that?

SPEAKER_04 23:32

This is on the black album.

SPEAKER_05 23:33

The black album. That was another good one. Threats. Threats, Pimp. Was that really who was that? Was that entertaining? That's what I thought. Yeah. Classic. Classic. Alright. We're gonna move along. Favorite collabs. Now we did collabs before, but it was a RB artist. Now it's gonna be you know who you know, any hip hop artists. It can also be an RB artist, but this is the collab version. Uh my favorite collab on this was what we do. Beanie Siegel, Jay Z. If you know the video, you know the wire. When you see this video, I'm telling you, like, you it's like you watching the wire. They had probably five or six people from the wire on there. Uh this was on Freeway's album. Uh Philadelphia Freeway. And that's my favorite collab. Like, out of all the collabs, I think that one was like always gonna be the best for me. Uh see, who we at?

SPEAKER_03 24:59

Okay.
