In Episode 20 of Let’s Rap About It, the crew celebrates Women’s Month by reflecting on the important lessons women have taught them throughout life. From family to friendships and relationships, the guys share how women helped shape their mindset, values, and growth. The conversation also dives into real topics affecting everyday life and culture. They discuss managing money in the Black community, the difference between being accepted vs. truly included in certain spaces, and how personal life situations can impact your career and opportunities. Another major topic the guys debate is whether every relationship in life needs to benefit you, or if some relationships should simply exist without expectations.
This episode is full of honest perspectives, real talk, and meaningful conversations about growth, community, and relationships.
Let's rap about it brought to you by Playmaker and presented by Prize Picks, America's number one sports picks app. Let's get it. What's going on, gentlemen? We back for another episode. What are we talking about? Mr. David, Jamaine. Sup, nick. Yo, listen, wild boys.
SPEAKER_00I got some t-shirts for y'all.
SPEAKER_01You do? Oh, the karate kick king himself. Wow. Can I? Kung Fu Joe. Show no. Kong Fu Jomo. For real. I like that. I like, yeah. I'm going to draw a door on back of mine, though. I'm going to draw a door. You put a door on back of mine. For real. I like this. Yeah, I like this. This is a good quality shit right here. Yeah. I need a large though, brother. This is a Schmeedy. I'm going to get you right. I'm going to get you right. You got me? I'm going to get you right. You sure? I got you. Alright. It's March, right? Right. And then we just came out of Black History Month. Black History Month. Right. A lot going on there. And it's women's month. It is. Right? So is this all women or is this black women? Wrap it up. All women. All women.
SPEAKER_00What are some of the things that it took you time to understand about women until you until later in life? I've learned the same thing younger in life that I learned later in life. That they're crazy.
SPEAKER_01That's all you got? That's all you got. What you got? It's women's history month. And that's all you got. So, what you understood about women that it took you later in life to understand? Something similar to what you was thinking. I was like, these, they crazy, but then as I as I as I got older, they made me realize I was the crazy one. It reversed? They reversed psychology. You went for that trick? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You felt off with me the whole time. But you fell for it? I'm gonna go for it. Listen, man. Cha reverse. You know? Damn, they pull a reverse on the case. It's okay. It's okay. You know?
SPEAKER_02I think I learned that women are really stronger than people like think they are. Because you know, like men are supposed to be the strong ones. But women really can put up with a lot of shit that men can't really handle in a sense. But so like I always look at women and they gotta be strong no matter. I learned that later on. Like, even stuff that I see now as an adult, and I look at how my mom's got through it, or I look at, you know what I'm saying, other women and they and they times, they still just gotta get through it. Men gotta get through it in a way too, but women, it's like, you know, they gotta nurture, they raise boys, they raise boys to men. Right, right. And I just think that I learned how strong they are as I got older. When you know what I mean, when you're looking up at your mom as a kid, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes you your moms get on your nerves because she just trying to push you this way, push you that way. But, you know, it's a lot, it's a lot even raising boys in a hood and raising, you know, boys to men, even in them kind of environments too. So, you know what I mean? I was saying.
SPEAKER_01Women are the are the are the foundation of society, of the world. This is a fact. That's a big, big fact. Right? So this is That's a fact. I feel like my moms did shit my pops probably never would have did. Like, you just it just wasn't the main thing to do. Like, my mom's like when me and my brother was sick and just certain shit. When I look back at it now, I'd be like, my pops wouldn't have did that. So that had to, that had to be like I feel like a mother's love is is just different. Mothers are here to nurture, you know what I mean? And women's strength is sometimes not spoken about as much. And so when we talk about mothers, I think about my mother, I think about all the shit I put my mother through a lot. I done got my mother locked up. Like shit that I done did, they came and locked her up. You understand what I'm saying? So I and she was like loved me like was in jail, got out and was like, nigga, I love you. You see what I'm saying? So that type of strength, that type of love, is sometimes we don't, we we we take it for granted.
SPEAKER_02Even physic, even physically strong, because like even how women have babies, that's sound like if men had to have the babies, it'd be a lot less people out here, because everybody ain't curving that. Niggas ain't pushing no babies out, like you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00That's a good point. Strength is what a woman represents, and I believe that women mentally are stronger than men and can go through a lot more than men can in in in that in what Maine say about women being undermined all the time. Cause I've been through shit like you've been with my mom's being locked up for shit that I've done. Right. And they come back out and act like it is. I definitely tell my half to the city. To be able to do that. Yeah. And there's so many instances like that that women do stick up for family, for their loved ones, for the better half, like you know what I mean? And and they do they usually the ones that we were talking the other week about who's the first one that you call if you get in trouble. And it's usually a woman. Your moms or your ladies. Usually your aunt, it's usually is usually a woman if you think.
SPEAKER_01That's how that goes, yeah. That's a fact. That is an act of it. They they more responsible. You could count on them a little bit more than you could count on niggas in certain situations and shit like that. Like, so a lot more reliable. Definitely. So why we always saying bros over hoes and money?
SPEAKER_02Like, why that's where you started, you know. When you and Jim first started, y'all was like, they crazy. You know what I'm saying? No, but now you try to try to do that. Now y'all trying to double down on my Jeff said.
SPEAKER_01That's it. They made me made me feel that's it. Man, I don't think I don't think it's I don't think March is hoes month. I think it's women's month. Oh shit, now they they they go. When is whole system? They have to have a month. What would it be? I don't think this is the month. I think this is the month. For women that be in the July. It's like July.
SPEAKER_00They got an off month. They got a month worth of time, but they got the whole summer.
SPEAKER_02It gotta be hot.
SPEAKER_01Cause by by July, because the fourth day outside, they just wanna it's full of everything by July.
SPEAKER_00You heard like stop playing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02We gotta add that. We we gotta add that. July's whole history, man. That's whole history, man. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01How do you celebrate that? You think about Don Julio? Don Julio. Like, so what's the history? How do we like are we are we celebrating? Some of the greatest. Some of the greatest hoes, the greatest. Some of the greatest holes, listen to me. That's what you do. I'm talking about like it's because the person's stripped don't make them a hoe, though. But it's legendary hoes, though. That's what I'm trying to tell you. It's the hoes that really be out there. It was even born. It's legend, legendary hoes. I understand. Yo, from women's history though. Oh, the fact that y'all got that. Because y'all don't have no, y'all wrong. About all y'all. Sick of y'all, man. Because this is to commemorate uh commemorate women and to shed light on women. That's what I was pushing for months. That's not whole month. Over three months and went to July. But no, we still uplifted them. We just talking about it.
SPEAKER_00We're talking about a history of all types of women. Today is this is the women's history month, and then July's whole history month. Like this is different histories here, but they're all dedicated to women. And we're not bashing because there's a community for that, and we don't bash communities.
SPEAKER_01You know that already. No, you do bash communities. Yeah, 100%. But we'll leave it alone. Right? Any dare you? Anybody y'all want to shout off a whole history month?

SPEAKER_00Speaking of women, I want to shout out my sister. She um I I always talk about uh Khadija. She uh she's one of the oldest people with uh with her heart condition. She was born with a heart condition, and I seen her go through things that men can never ever go through, even to this day when it comes to her health and being strong and still being able to be here today. And I love her to death, and she's definitely my source of energy. Anytime I'm down or feel like I'm defeated, and I and I she calls me on, she texts me. She texts a bunch of people every day with these messages that's so and it's just like I can't even she give me the energy to get right back up. Like, bro, you watched her go through so much, and then let's get it.
SPEAKER_01So shout out to Khadija. I love you very much, baby girl. Definitely shout out to Khadija. What are some bills or expenses you cut down on as you learn to manage money? You cut down on hoes, man? What the I couldn't help it. No, no, no, no, no, that's all good. That's all good. But what's what's what's some of the things you cutting down on? Like, I stopped buying like a bunch of cars a long time ago.
SPEAKER_00Like I used to have a shitload of cars, and I kind of slowed down the bond on them cars, they serve me no purpose.
SPEAKER_01Right. You know what I mean? Right, right. I don't I don't move with as many people. So so so at one point I was covering mad hotels, mad flights, mad dinners. And it was you know what I mean? When when it's when it's fun, it's fun. But after a while, it's like, alright. So I I think I I definitely cut back on that. You gotta learn to do everything in moderation, though. You know what I mean? As you get older and shit that you that you used to do, you kind of if if that's your thing, you gotta kinda find the balance and not drown yourself out with them same things. You know what I mean? Right, right. What about you, Spizzle? I'm cutting down on nothing.
SPEAKER_02We're making more money, that's it. I don't know. I think you gotta just you gotta live. He wait for the job. I'm joking, I'm joking. But look, we gotta live.
SPEAKER_01But he really mean this because I said what then you mean. He really mean this.
SPEAKER_00Like, like I, you know, we had this conversation. I'm joking. You're joking, but you you're telling the truth because you remember the conversation we're true too, though.
SPEAKER_01He gotta start answering this shit first. Right. Because he is the setup. So I try to get the car. I told him I want to get this car. He's like, get it, nigga, make more money. That's what we do. Right. That's it. That's a five percent. Remember that. That's the money. That's a reasonable. Sometimes you need that shit to motivate you to go get the money back. That's a little percent. If you want it, go get it back or make more money to if it's like, yo, I think you shouldn't. Sometimes you gotta give you that motivation. Right? We all got accountants. You having a real count with your accountant, your accountant, like, yo, I think you should. My argument is always, nah, I could just get more bread. I could make more bread, and that'll cover whatever you was talking about. Um, we'd be all right. What if your accountant is is reading to you a shit, right? And he like, Mr. David, you have to cut down on your porn subscriptions. Damn. How many porn subscriptions you got, bro? You the blue chew master, you heard? Mascot. I ain't got no motherfucking porn subscriptions. Blue chew, you the blue chewer, you heard? Pause. Chewing them shits like skill. Oh man. I paused though. I paused. I said pause. Y'all gotta stop.

SPEAKER_02That doesn't work. And niggas just keep it.
SPEAKER_01You be trying it, and you still be getting caught in the city. It don't work with y'all because you know it's different. But if a nigga was on the street, then it'd be different.

SPEAKER_01Check this. Entertainment is being invited to the table the same as being valued at the table.
SPEAKER_00This is stemming from what the the uh the award show where there was a hard R said.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they violated. Well, you know. Somebody call a black man a nigger. He had to rest. But the ER? He had he had to rest, but he said nigger at the right time, though. When niggas was on stage. And it's funny. I mean And that's the word his Tourette's made him say.
SPEAKER_00Not into his not into his defense. Right? So this is didn't now this is the wild part. So the last like the last month, like uh uh uh a Tourette's female been popping on my page, like she popped on my page.
SPEAKER_01I know all about it. She lit. Who which one is that? She's like one of them, one it up, one of them. The white one or the black one? The white one, she'd be like, one of them. Nah, as a black girl, she be mad informative.
SPEAKER_00Like she tells you all the forms of Tourette's and the clicks and everything you dig. Right. And nigger is one of the clicks. No, it's yeah, wild shit in there. What I'm saying is, she she like nick she was like nigger is one of her clicks.
SPEAKER_01Right, one of the call it ticks. Ticks, not clicks. It's a ticks. There you go. So that's my that's that's why I fuck with you, man. Come on, nigga. We educated niggas, man. You know what I'm saying? For real. We educated, but listen. And nigga is one of the words. Nigga is one of the ticks. She be saying the wildest. But she be like, but it's a few words that they that they're. I never knew that word. But I'm not saying that's one of his ticks.
SPEAKER_00I'm just saying it's funny because I heard I was watching it, but he might be out of line because he was a white man that just happened to say nigger at the right time during the awards.
SPEAKER_02Niggas black men on the stage, too.
SPEAKER_01That makes sense, man. To represent people.
SPEAKER_02I ain't never seen no to red people in the crowd at no other award shows. We've all been out here. Everybody here been here for a long time. Why all of a sudden in 2026 with two black men on the stage? It's a nigga, it's a nigga with terrible. He couldn't resist. He couldn't resist.
SPEAKER_01Was he a correspondent? Because he was they he was like on the mic or something. Yeah, they was they was on the stage.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like nah, seeing two black men was the buttone, they're on the stage.
SPEAKER_01That was the ticket off. That was like the Chappelle. That was like the Chappelle show. But goddamn, I ticked again. It was the nigga family? It was the tech. So is anybody because it's crazy that it was just crazy. Nobody that has we're not making fun of it. We just went through this whole thing. So I know you're gonna try to chop the go crazy, but it's nobody. I never heard that in all my life. Nobody yelled nigga. That's what I'm saying. Pause. What? What was the pause in that? You heard what he said. Two black. I didn't specify. I'm I'm fighting against the city. You heard what he said. Like I've been. I didn't say if male or female did their thing. I didn't specify. I'm gonna let them slide. That could be held up in court and that could be a few times. That could be back time.
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna just let them catch that charge. I got it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, man o versus pause. Yeah. That was one of them. For real. Are you actually valued if you just been invited? I think it depends on what you're being invited to. Sometimes just being invited is not being the same as being valued. There you go. You heard? You can be invited to be the fucking just circus clown inside the room that you don't even know about. You don't even know it, facts. You did? Yeah. 100%. Now, would you go to a room that you know you're not valued at? No, that's not a room I want to be in.
SPEAKER_00No matter what type of room it was, it has a lot of opportunity in them room with those type of people who kind of feel like that about us anyway. But I'm not valued. But we do have something to offer for them because of who we are. But that doesn't mean you're valued in them rooms. So do you go in those rooms where you value that, where you think you could get value from?
SPEAKER_01Am I getting value out of that room for myself? I mean because if I'm going to get value for myself, then boom, I might chance it. This is it. I might go. If go to a room you're not valued that, but you feel like you could get value from that room. If I can get value, there's some value in that room. If it's value for me in that room, I'm busting up in that motherfucker. Whoa. Damn. I'm trying to talk civilized to you here, man.
SPEAKER_00This was a good, this was a good idea.
SPEAKER_01I quit the show.
SPEAKER_00Spears, can I talk to you for a second? You only want to speak about the subject no more? He's like, nah, I want to get off it. I always like.
SPEAKER_02Pause too. I don't want to get off nothing. Damn, see? Damn. Let's go to the next topic. It's getting crazy. It's getting crazy.
SPEAKER_00It's getting chippy.
SPEAKER_02Does every relationship have to be mutually beneficial?
SPEAKER_00I mean every relationship has some balance in it.
SPEAKER_01Mutually beneficial? I don't think no. I mean, they got this thing 50-50. You gotta define relationship.
SPEAKER_00There's a certain thing like a 50-50, I do, then you do, or you do like it's just it's it's a balance that needs to have have you need to have a relationship.
SPEAKER_01I don't think it's that, I think it's you gotta have some type of value, right? If you're not useful, then you use less. Right? You don't want to be misused, but you want to you want to be useful to you wanna be an asset to whoever you're in a relationship with. Friendship, brotherhood, you know, comrades, business, whatever it is, your lady. Um, you want to be an asset to them. So does she have to be mutually that asset to you? Is the has to be valuable to me. Yes. Is it gonna be not valuable to you? Is she gonna bring the same thing you bring to the table mutually? She might bring something different, baby. This is what we're trying to figure out. It might be something, it might be something different. It might be what I like.
SPEAKER_00That's the balance, though, right? Right. That's the balance. Okay, that's what we're trying to figure out. So it does it have to be a mutual benefit, meaning that's the it has to be the same benefit. A 50-50. If I do it, she gotta do it. If I do the shit, you understand what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01So does that equate to that in your brain, or does that matter to you? Or you want some 50-50 shit? What the fuck? I don't know what the fuck this nigga just said. What the fuck? I'm saying because you just started out of nowhere. Like man, what he did? I can't I can't do no hand movement. I'm like, what the and then I'm I thought I answered it already. But obviously I didn't. You didn't answer it for yourself. Yo, you answered it for yourself. You said what you bring to the table. It's not about what you bring to the table. Her value to me maybe beneficial somewhere else. She may bring other things, she may be super resourceful, she may be super reliable, she may be a freak. Like she could be whatever, whatever it is that I like. Right.
SPEAKER_02Beneficial is a tricky word. I feel like y'all gotta be mutually aligned in a sense, like where y'all help each other or bond each other in some kind of way. Beneficial is start sound, it sound the words sound like transactional. Like you gotta be. So that's why it sounds tricky to me. But I think if we align, like we don't gotta even be in the same, you know, profession or make the same what's the same, but if we align with what we do align with, I think that works.
SPEAKER_01I like that too. The lady, the lady said, if you want her to quit her job, she she needs 45 to 50k per month. If the lady. She smoked coke.
SPEAKER_02The partner has to give her 45 to 50k for her to not work and maintain her lifestyle. Do she?
SPEAKER_01Does she got that? So she basically saying that's what I'm saying. Like if the like if the if the partner need that, like I need 50 this month, do she got that? Or is all no, but here's the here's the thing. What she's saying is if you come into her as a boyfriend figure, right, and you say to her, hey, I'm the type of nigga that don't want my woman to work. I want you in the house. But she needs a 50 ball. Okay, so you're not gonna be making your own money. You're gonna, I'm gonna sit you down, and I'm I'm not only gonna pay your bills, but I'm gonna give you extra. So she And that's gonna come up to 40 or 50k. That's a half a million dollars a year. You said this is a monthly thing. A month, nigga. She wants that, she wants, she, she wants that for you to be her girlfriend. Right, if, if, if you telling her not to work. She was already making 50. This is what she's saying. This is what she's saying, you may quit if she's making 50. And you stop her from doing that. And you tell her stay home, I don't want you to do that. I don't want you to work. Right. So, what was she working as? Because if she making 50, you'll be, God damn, baby, bring it in. Shit. You making a 50 or 10. I personally would never tell her to quit that job. Why would I tell you to quit? Would you tell somebody to quit their job? She likes all the time. Somebody shitting on us more crazy shit, like. Would you pay somebody 50,000 a month for them to be your girlfriend? No. No. No, that's to keep her upkeep. Whatever you want. That's basically bills.
SPEAKER_02What he's saying is saying the same thing. She needs she needs that money to maintain her lifestyle. She needs that money, Frankie. She needs that money, Frankie. 50K? 50K.
SPEAKER_01I need to see, yo, bro. Wait, if you give somebody 50K a month, you I need to see what's going on like. No, I just spent that on. 50k? See, the thing is, it might be a nigga that'll do that. A few months, it ain't gonna be a good thing. It's niggas that's doing that. This is not in perpetuity, though, nigga. It's niggas that's doing it right now. That ain't in perpetuity. That's for a couple, like just for now. That's just for the nigga. Till this 50 run out. This shit will just win. This shit run tired. He might, he might, he might got three, four, six months in him. He might got a year in him. Right. But is it forever? Yeah, till that lawsuit runs out. No, I'm saying, whatever it is, he might just say, yo, look, she's just like that. More power to more power to him and her.
SPEAKER_00I'm not telling nobody quit their$50,000 job a month, personally.
SPEAKER_01Right, but as a woman. Not I. If you're making that a money, why like you wouldn't even want to walk? Nigga, I don't need you to pick, nigga. I'm I'm gonna get my own. Because anything that happened with you, you might get mad one day. Why would a why that's what I'm saying? Why would a woman want to stop making 50 grand a month on her own? Yeah. Uh huh. For a nigga to give it to her. Yeah. It's just backwards. Yes, it's baffling.
SPEAKER_00Do you think people underestimate how much your personal life impacts your business decisions and success?
SPEAKER_01Yes. Yes. I believe that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Your behavior can ruin your business. You you you could be, you know, we see like everywhere from actors to athletes to rappers and artists. Like whatever you're doing on your off time becomes part of your story and what's going on with you anyway, because you're in a public light. So I definitely think your personal decisions that you're doing. I don't think people always look at it that way, but everything you're doing is gonna be associated to your business. Some people will still do business with you, you know what I'm saying? Or you see, sometimes athletes get into something and all the companies drop them. Or, you know, even as a rapper, I've had situations where you know something will happen and they they like, yo, we kind of we we fuck with you. We cool and all that, but we can't really get none of that, you know what I mean? Happened to me for surely over here. So, you know, that's that's that's how any anybody's behavior is gonna be. I don't even think it's a celebrity thing, like, you know what I'm saying? You could look on people companies now, look on people's social media, all type of stuff.
SPEAKER_01So right, just like cops get fired. You see the cops twerking and then got fired, the lady cops twerking, right, and then got fired. See, I know all about like a good twerk? Yeah, it was decent. It was decent. Yeah, yeah. She was like in a video twerking and they fired. But my PD though. She might have used that for something.
SPEAKER_02She gotta take that behavior to another occupation.
SPEAKER_01Keep her uniform and use that as the as the knock on the door as the police. Do they let I don't know if they let them keep it? Well, get a fake one. She could, she could, she could run an air costume at this point. Yeah, I mean, no problem. I just think the higher ups or whatever, whoever that may be, they don't really wanna um mix their name with no bullshit. Right, you gotta, yeah.
SPEAKER_00But behavior is everything, like Fab said. I've done it, I fucked up, I fucked up, I fucked up a lot of things up. We know behavior.
SPEAKER_01We know. We know. We absolutely know. 100%, nigga. We wanna start this. Gymnasium Jones. We gonna start this? Well, we're gonna start. I fucked up shit too. Let me tell you, I smacked the shit out of a director in 4040 at a BT party.
SPEAKER_02Damn.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Heavy. And then when it was time to be in a movie videos to get on BT, there was an issue. So I know all about scaring the money away. I lost a whole movie role. By doing what? Was was caught up in some bullshit. Like, and lost a whole role. God bless the dead, pop smoke. Shut outs to pop. The movie, that that boogie movie, the basketball movie. That was supposed to be you. That was my role. I I went on the set, did the whole Damn. Went to Vegas, got into some bullshit. The shit hit the TMZ. The first people to call me was the head of the company. Like, yo, we don't know if it's true or not, but the fact that it's out, we can't associate. That's a fact. And then bro got that role. I'm glad he did, but you know what I mean? Like, you would have been good at that role because you really put it. It was a basketball role. That was, yeah. Nah, no, your behavior actually messes up. Yeah, it'll violate. Especially now, everything's gonna be a TMZ. They can't wait to do that.
SPEAKER_00You gotta look at Jesse Hard to bounce back from a lot of that shit.
SPEAKER_01That's a some people don't get the opportunity to bounce back from certain behavior behavior. You some should have some shit. I'm very lucky, I'm very lucky. Let me tell you something about you, bro. You are the living, breathing example of that. Y'all know how to take that. Okay, that's a compliment. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hear what I'm saying, huh? What? This is what I'm saying. Because we all know you fucked up a lot of shit with your attitude and your behavior. We know that. But you you smart enough and creative enough, and then you was able to bounce back. You understand? So I give you that. Because it's harder than, you know what I mean? When you scared of money, wait, what?
SPEAKER_02Well, bounce back.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, look, I'm done with the show. I gotta be here. Calm down. He said like he's in a better relationship, nigga. I can't be here. I gotta give up.
SPEAKER_00Bro, you can't say words like harder though, bro. Difficult.
SPEAKER_01It was harder. It was it was difficult. It was more difficult. Bro, it was it was it was harder. Your choice of words, man. Harder is in a dictionary, you do know that, right? And when you look at what it means, it don't mean that. But like the setup before you said that, is you just gotta chill. I gotta what I'm saying is come on. Go ahead though. Go ahead. It's hard for me to talk.
SPEAKER_02Difficult for you to talk.
SPEAKER_01I'm not switching my words to difficult. It's like I gotta be so conscious on what I'm saying. Pause staunching. You should. Nah, I'm not. See, I try to give you your little setup right there. I try to like, you know what I mean? Give you your little flowers. You know what I'm saying? Because you fucked up a lot of shit. You know? I try to, you know, and they thought you fucked up some other shit, but you didn't. You're doing really, really good, man. And we man, round of applause for Jimothy Jones. Gymnasium. Thank you. Don't get his don't get his credit for being such a uh creative guy, man. You know? Let's keep it real here. Appreciate you, my brother. I'm not talking no more, though. It's done. It's quiet for now. Who you date affects your business opportunities and how you should handle it. How y'all feel about that? Maybe. I think if you allow it to. It depends. I mean. What do you think, man? Why are you whistling, man? It all depends. Like if you walk in a if you walk in a like a business we meeting or like a social gathering with with your colleagues, no matter what industry in you in. And you walk in there with a known prostitute that everybody. A known prostitute. You'd be surprised.
SPEAKER_00A prostitute could definitely hinder your business.
SPEAKER_01You can't pull up to the meet like that. What you mean? You pull up like that? Drewski was sitting floor seats with a porn with a with a with a porn actress. That might have been his friend. What? That's what I'm saying. It could be so it could be your woman. They could have been cool. On the wood? Ew. God. Damn. Damn. I don't want to talk.
SPEAKER_02You just said that a question ago and you was right back.
SPEAKER_01Mm-hmm. You already know what it is. Let's rap about some hoops, real quick, brought to you by the homies at Prize Picks. New York is in Indy this Friday. This hasn't been the same since Tyrese Halliburton has been out all season. Crazy how they had such a run last year and have been trashed this whole year without Holly. Any thoughts on Jairus Walker? You know he's been hooping for Indy. And on defense, he's a little different. I'm telling you, more, more, more rebounds. We're going more on rebounds? More and more on rebounds. But you see what his last game was like? I'm gonna go more. I'm gonna go less. I'm gonna go more with points. See, he his last game he did good on points. Right? But his career. But look at his career.
SPEAKER_00He might be in a leader. Everybody get a good game every now and then, but his stats ain't for me to put my money on.
SPEAKER_01I think he even being brought up, he might he might catch a little high streak. What you think, Bezzo?
SPEAKER_02I don't know Jarrett Walker like that. So I'm gonna go less because I his his seasonal stats, he just looked like he had a good game last game. You know what I mean? Right. Not to say a scrub or nothing, but I don't know him like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but even a garbage can get a stake sometimes. Yeah. Right? I mean, we ain't calling him right. It is what it is. But back to what's important, man. You already know what it is. New York, you know, Jalen Brunson, you know, you know how we do, Josh Hart. Yeah. You know, what you think that's gonna be about? Jose Alvarado. You know, more points, more assists, more threes. What are we talking about? Let's go next.
SPEAKER_02More points for Jalen Brunson. What about Josh? More rebounds for Josh. And uh I'm gonna say more assists for Jose.
SPEAKER_01What do you think, East? Same. I mean, I like the first two picks. I'm gonna go more. I think more points for Jose, too. More points for him? I'm not really sold on him yet. I'm gonna keep it less.
SPEAKER_02He likes an X Factor player, so he's not every game, he's not going. Like you see the stats last game. His last game, he but sometimes you have 16 and then another game, you might have five. So he hit or miss, though. Not really hit or miss, just his role is not needed every game.
SPEAKER_01He don't gotta do the yeah. Yeah, I'm going less on Alvarado. Let's get it. Big shout out to Prize Picks, man. Coming in the clutch for all my New York hoops. You know how we're moving.

SPEAKER_01Like you shouldn't be, you should you should not be driving more the week if you're in a relationship between. Oh, so you basically say you shouldn't let a week pass. Once a week is crazy. But I mean, at least get that if you're in a relationship.

SPEAKER_01Show grace to the people. And you're not humping? What? I don't know nothing about it. It sounds alien. What? Hey, I'm going through the simulation here. I'm just trying to understand, though. Like, so how many times a week? The question is how many times a week? So how many times a week? Did you not hear me? You said what every day? That's seven times a week. I answered the question. How many kids you got? He got seven times a week. So you seven times a week. Seven times a week, Dave?

It can be a drop. What's the slow week? Slowly. Nothing. It's a s nothing. So you think the price of the brick going up? You think that a person in a relationship don't go through a drop? You don't think they go through go through go through shit of vision? I understand that they may because sometimes you know some people in a relationship, and I'm speaking in generally, like to these people out here, that maybe like you not as aroused or you don't you it's it's it's old. It's a slow like you know what I'm saying. It's like, and then she probably like wanted and you like, man, girl, I don't feel like it. I don't feel like it. That's single or no nigga. This is maybe for niggas in a relationship. Oh nah, I ain't it ain't never no, I don't feel like it. Y'all niggas been knowing not to say that's why I said I wasn't talking to you niggas. Nah, but you niggas wasn't gonna never tell nothing. Don't be in a relationship with somebody that ain't gonna turn you on. Or ain't gonna or ain't gonna always arouse you. It's defeating the purpose of even being with somebody. I ain't gonna be with nobody that I'm looking at.
SPEAKER_00Definitely need a freaky connection if you're in a relationship with somebody.
SPEAKER_01You ain't gotta you ain't gotta. That's the only way it could be a relationship. You that I that's what I'm saying. I want to be turned on. I want to be in lust with my partner. I want to like be in complete lust with her. I want to be I want to be outside with her and look at her and be like, God damn it. That's on Monday. And then how you feel on Tuesday? I need her to be, I need her to be like that. I need her to be fly, gorgeous. I need, I want to like be outside with her, and I want to I want to imagine things about her. I want to fantasize about her. Are y'all outside? 100%. I want to think about her while I'm with her, as if I never been with her. That's why I keep a fly chick. 100%. They cover all bases. Yeah. I need I need a relationship. That person has to 100% turn you on. 100%. So when y'all beefing.
SPEAKER_02Because that shit could fade fast. Do y'all still it's still seven, seven times a week when y'all beefing? That's what I want to know. Cause seven times a week is I'm I'm I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_00We know that you've done doing seven times. But I mean, hold on.
SPEAKER_01But I like the angry shit sometimes. Like the angry shit is I like the I like the getting back from the pause. I was about to go crazy. What? I'm not with the pause. I just I'm just trying to say you gangbang. I didn't even say it. No, no. You gangbang, like you gang bang fucking is crazy. What are you talking about? How is that crazy? The gangbanger. Like, what are we talking about? No, I'm I'm weird. This is weird. You understand what I'm saying? What I was saying was to answer Space question during problems, you might not fuck seven days a week.
SPEAKER_02I was about to say, y'all not gonna tell me shit don't get dry when niggas is beefing.
SPEAKER_01I just said in a relationship, but to get back from that is you know it's it's always well how do you go about that? Do you do you do it while she's still mad? Sometimes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Sometimes it goes down on sometimes it goes down.
SPEAKER_02Opportunity is kind of like a sneak to me.
SPEAKER_01Like, nah, the opportunity is very we never hear the critical demonstration. I didn't want to say what he just said. It would have been I didn't hear it. I didn't hear it. Sometimes it goes down. I'm like, what the what you asked me a question. What? Like if I would have said that.
SPEAKER_02You would have said that they would have been paused.
SPEAKER_01I didn't hear it. Oh, nobody. Oh, oh, I get it. It was a lot of hearing.
SPEAKER_00But like you were saying, okay, in the midst of in the midst of an argument or in the midst of an angry situation, it sometimes it happens. But that's a very, very, very rare window that that can happen. What do you mean? Sometimes it just be mad sometimes. It's like playing double dash with with death strings and shit like that.
SPEAKER_01But look, even in look, even in that situation, you could be mad at a motherfucker, you could be mad, you could be on 10 mad. That's still, you still see a motherfucker. That don't mean like I don't I never touch, I don't want to fuck. Like, you might be mad at a motherfucker, but if in if the opportunity presents itself in that situation, you gonna get right with it. Like right. And it's gonna have anger behind it. So it's going. That's that's kind of I like that. It goes it might, yeah, it's gonna be some. You like, man, I wish we could just fuck and get this shit over with. But it just because the we riff it that's in your mind. Yeah, I said fuck me, hate me, baby. Fuck you. You got a grudge, so you can't stand me. The grudge hug is good. Angry kill. The angry kill.

As a celebrity, do y'all feel obligated to speak on social issues?
SPEAKER_00Do you feel like you gotta think as a grown man you obligated to speak on anything? But mind the business that pays you. That's what I mean. That's a that's I it I believe that's just that, but there are some people that want to speak out on certain issues that make them feel compelled to speak on social.
SPEAKER_01I think certain things that you you you um you represent or that the world um sees you representing, and then and then those type of things happen, they expect they a lot of times they expect you to speak up. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02Sometimes action is is louder than words too. You might not everybody who um speaks up doesn't do it with just voice. They might do something, they might be out there and and you know, and protesting. They might with the people uh, you know, they might boycott something. They, you know what I'm saying? So people do different things in different ways. I think some people are more passionate about certain situations, so they, you know, they volunteer they input. A lot of times it be just different opinions, you know what I'm saying? People, some people might believe things is one way, some people believe things another way, and then that you know, that causes the back and forth. But I don't think like as a celebrity, you are obligated to, you know what I'm saying? You are obligated to stand up for yourself and stand up for your people and stand up for right or what's right, you know what I'm saying? But you can do it in different ways versus you know having to say something or you know what I mean, action could be.
SPEAKER_00What about when they they want to use your influence to stand up for their cause and not necessarily in your cause?
SPEAKER_01And you can't allow that. But if it's something you believe in, sometimes I feel compelled to talk about something that I I'm passionate about, you know, like as if it's like uh these kids shooting at each other. But that's different and hit a two-year-old in the school park. You know what I mean? That's something that I'm like, what? Like I gotta say something because it's on your heart touch my heart. You don't feel obligated, like yo, like I have to do nothing. I don't think um nobody because everyb everybody's human in their own way. So it's like nobody's obligated to do anything, right? But if you feel some kind of way, then you know, speak on it. Like, you don't gotta do nothing. Nobody, you know, you can live your life the way you want to live your life. Right. You know, my bad.
SPEAKER_02No, Jim, I don't know if this was we did, we went to some event and it was some kind of uh political event trying to stop Project 20 2025 or what? Oh, it may be. I don't feel like he was jacking it. No, he wasn't at all.
SPEAKER_01He wasn't listening to the speeches or nothing. Nah, I wasn't. You know what you know we in the back.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, because if I felt like I felt like I we was bamboozled a little bit. Like they put us in a room and use our face for their cause, no matter if we was jacking it or not, because we was already in that room. So whatever they were speaking to, we had we we was they put us on the back.
SPEAKER_02But you know how to come there for. The bag check.
SPEAKER_00You heard? The bag, they throw the bag in front of you, and then they hit you, you get there, and then you get there, and they talk about all types of wild shit and have your face like Fab was here, and he agrees on what we talk about. Yeah, fuck everybody. Like it's like, nah, I didn't say fuck everybody. Like, you're just gonna put that on me like that. But that that's the type of situations that I'm talking about. Like, they just you know what I mean? I blame you. You came with the bag. You say, I got a bag for us. All we gotta do is show up for five minutes and we go run in it. And then I see Smiths pull up. I said, Oh, it's a bag day.
SPEAKER_01Everybody getting the bag. They spent a lot of money, though.
SPEAKER_00We got bamboozles. Didn't they lock that lady up too?
SPEAKER_01Okay. No, Letitia James, because what happened? I didn't even want to say nobody's name. No, they I don't want to be able to do that. No, no, no, no, because some regular shit. The Trump is going after her because, you know, she was attorney general and she was, you know, she was putting her foot down on in in and stepping on him. She was going after him, too. Right, and that's why he's doing it.
SPEAKER_02Once he got president, he spun the ball.
SPEAKER_01Exactly, exactly. So I think what they was doing was for the for the for the uh for the right cause, man. I I you know, because they this was they was trying hard to win the election. Right at this point. So they were trying to use celebrities and you know what I mean. And he was in New York, so they had it was a bunch of niggas there. Like it was mad niggas there.
SPEAKER_02I got the spill on what it was, but when we got there, I felt like some of the dynamic changed up.
SPEAKER_01It got heavy in there for some reason. Right? Because they wanted everybody in the building. So they they didn't tell you much.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but like he said, that like like even the narrative they start pushing got a little heavier in there. Like it just felt like it was just like, but it was whatever, whatever it is, it's it's cool. I don't feel like we're obligated, or I don't feel like I'm obligated to push any narrative or talk about anything that's not on my heart that I don't feel that I need to talk about that makes sense for how I'm feeling and how I'm living and things like that. You know what I mean? Right. But I talk about a lot of things that do concern me, like you and me like that. I always talk about my my neighborhood and the poverty and the things that the kids go through and shit like that, just like you and shit like that.
SPEAKER_02No one's obligated. I think everybody should speak on what they are comfortable or passionate about, but and I don't think anybody is obligated to do or get validated by what somebody else thinks. Like, you don't gotta speak for any reason. If you feel like you should speak on it, then speak on it. But for anybody else's validation, I don't think it's anybody's obligation.
SPEAKER_01And I don't think niggas should be telling other people what they should be doing or what they shouldn't be doing. Like, oh yeah, you do it, nigga. Like, you can't be right, you do it, nigga. You can't be sitting on your couch. I always feel like that. You do it. Telling other people what they should be doing and what they shouldn't be doing by whatever age, and you not doing nothing, but sitting on your couch. How y'all feel about that? I I jack all of that, I agree with all of that. But how you feel about the the fan and wherever they at, and you their favorite rapper, and whatever their political views are, they they going through that and they household, and you their favorite rapper, and you ain't said a word about it. Yeah, yeah. And they feel like you should speak on it. And then they in your DM, yo, East, I got all your albums, I love you to death, but why you not speaking on this? Why you not I go to the ball? Niggas hit you on be like, yo, yo, say free Palestine. Why you ain't set you ain't setting up. So how do you feel in that situation? Do you feel obligated in that situation? No, because you may not agree with what they tell you. I still don't feel obligated. No, you're not obligated. You know what I mean? I don't. No, at the end of the day, the way they feel, whatever their political views, right, may not be yours. 100%.
SPEAKER_02Whatever's on your heart to speak on, you should. Anything else, you should.
SPEAKER_01The bottom line. Yeah, you know. I don't feel we're obligated to speak on nothing. We don't feel like speaking on. Right. So nigga might have a whole nother cause, like whatever his cause is may not be yours. And if you felt passionate about it, that's something totally different. Right. You know what I'm saying? It's like, nigga, the fuck is you hitting me for, nigga?
SPEAKER_02Speaking of fans, the way we engage with fans is different now. Do you sometimes feel disconnected from your fans? And if so, how do y'all deal with it?
SPEAKER_00Because the way music is is consumed and everything is digital. Um, it's not so much touching touching people's pause, like, like touching people. Whatever, man. I said pause, bro.
SPEAKER_01That's not that's a different look. I said pause. Now I'm thinking the wrong thing. This is why the game is called pause. When you say something out of line, you say pause that clears your name. You don't even have to go over it again. I said pause. You didn't speak to me.
SPEAKER_02Pause in gym a lot for somebody who don't want to play pause.
SPEAKER_01I don't, right. Because y'all got me nervous, bro. I'm speaking nervous, man. I'm speaking nervous. I'm moving different. I'm moving different, B. Body different. My body different B.
SPEAKER_00This is like, come on, man. Put your skirt up, man. Damn, bro. Shit. But now do you think it's a disconnect from the from the tech with technology and different things like that?
SPEAKER_01Yo, man, niggas get paused every day. Every day, B. You be alright. I don't know. Like, I mean, I don't I don't really understand the dis the disconnect between. I think, right, everybody, everything is online.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like before. Like, say when you were when you were doing your thing, you had to get out in the street and do now. You make don't really have that kind of connection. That's like you, you, you, you're right. Like the kids. You don't promote everything.
SPEAKER_01Go with babies and all that thing. Like that. You had to really get on the road and actually go city to city, do roads to those markets, go to the stations.
SPEAKER_00Everything is zoomed right now.
SPEAKER_02You can zoom in three radio stations. Everything. You had to do everything. Some people are spinning back to that because I think J. Cole just did like a uh Andorra's box with this. He jumped in a car and went drove right around.
SPEAKER_01Right. I think that's good to do, though. I think it's more surprise type of thing now. It's almost like, all right, they viral on TikTok, Instagram, everybody talking about them. Oh, they're gonna be in my city this Friday. Let's take a chance and go check them out. You ain't even gotta be a fan of that person. It could just be the thing to do. Cause that's what's going, you know what I mean? Like, like that's what's being spoken about.
SPEAKER_02Go there and get some content.
SPEAKER_01Like, oh, let me pull up to this because this is what's going on. Like, you don't you ain't checked out nothing they've been doing. You don't you don't even really care, but that's what's going on for the week.
SPEAKER_02So is that like is that a disconnection where now just you trying to connect with a fan, it may not even be a fan, it might be just somebody who wanna do today.
SPEAKER_01I think with me more, like just me speaking personally, like the people that connect with me, they've they've expressed that. Just moving city to city just over the years, like so. I try to cater more to them to them. And then anybody else that's a might be a fan this week might not be a fan, like I'm not really trying to focus on that. Like, I'll be more tapped in like, oh nah, that this person been fucking with me this long. Let me keep doing that. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I tap more in what with what I know is going on analytics and shit like that, but they fuck with me. Like, I'm not really chasing what don't fuck with me. But before it was different because we didn't have the internet, social media, and when records came out, it was only a few of them that came out, so the fans had to focus on the records that this dropped, and then they had to go see you or go to the record store to get like it was just a more personal connection. Now your record drops, and they still got 93 million other records that they could go see that drop today before it wasn't not, it was not like that. And they wasn't getting it from the device or the phone. Was it so accessible? You know, but it's it's like So is it is is that a disservice to us or or is it better now?
SPEAKER_02I don't know if it's a disconnection as more of it's like a different type of connection. You know what I'm saying? Like a different route. You know what I mean? You don't go to the streets anymore, now you go to social media. You don't go uh on tour or on what's the name, you go to do podcasts and shit like that. You know what I mean? So it's just I think it just changed the routing has kind of changed a little bit.
SPEAKER_01You it's not physical no more, but it it but for a fan for a fan, it might it might be even better because now you can connect with a person that you actually got love for. Like you, you know, people could DM you, you can tell somebody exactly how they feel, you can comment opposed to like not being able to do that before. I think the audience, this is the engagement is the audience changed. Like, yeah, so you're right.
SPEAKER_00It might not be a disconnect because the engagement is way iller right now.
SPEAKER_01The audience just switched up. The person that would have waited in line or or woke up early in the morning to get that album or or get that meet and greet with that artist because they was at that record store. Don't gotta they ain't really gotta do that no more. It's still something that's missing from how it once was and shit. Because it's not manually. You ain't gotta really do that in personal. You don't gotta connect with people physically, but that's society in the whole.
SPEAKER_02You know, like how when you would go to the tunnel and feel that energy inside the club, that that that same kind of like that connectivity, like you saying, is not it's not in front of you anymore. Now you go viral. That's the that's that's the equivalent.
SPEAKER_01Speaking of that feeling pause, uh we got my man, the relationship guru, in the building. No, but I want to just say this before that I know we got Jmaine! But I I just feel disconnected in certain things because I it's like a trend going out on right now around the world. Where girls are like taking back their BBLs, like taking away. They're gonna get a surgery again to get it get rid of it. They're taking their ass out. They're reversing it, yeah. They're going back to the to the what they had before. UnBBL. Yeah, you ain't been saying this? Yeah, they're on BBL. UnBBL is crazy. UnBBL in right now. UnBBL. They definitely 100%. Cardi says she doesn't have a lot of people. Right, she just did it. Uh it's a few for it. But I just want to say, ladies. You can have this back. No. Slow down. Slow down. Like chill out. Chill out. You're moving too fast. You're moving. Let's think about way too fast. This is too early. You want them to keep them? I don't know who's giving y'all advice out there. Like a main pro BBL. You want me to keep the doc? Stop now. Be proud of what the doc gave you. Be proud. Right? Be proud of what the doc gave. No backseats? Yeah, like don't try to take it back. No backseats. You know, it is what it is.

And my little brother is 13. He st he stole my vape and took it to school, which got him suspended. My mom thinks it's my fault because it was mine, but I'm upset because he stole it. She didn't really punish him, and I don't have kids, so I'm not sure how to approach the situation. I also don't want to undermine her parenting. What should I do? This is relationship advice?

You are not his mother or father. You got to leave it alone. It's a vape, man. What are we talking about? It's a lot of red flags here. He got suspended. What do you mean? Because he said he's 29 and he's living in the house with his moms and got in trouble with his 13-year-old brother. I don't know. Maybe where did he still have vape from? I don't know. I don't know. Maybe, maybe it was in his. But yeah, some 29-year-olds they don't have it all together yet. They might still be in the mom's house. But getting in trouble with your 13-year-old nine with a vape in your mom's house. Yeah, it's great. It's crazy. Getting in trouble with your 13-year-old brother. No, the 13-year-old got in trouble. But taking trouble. He said the 13 didn't get in trouble. He got in the trouble. Right, but he took he got in trouble at school, though. Yeah, he got suspended at school.
SPEAKER_00But he didn't get in trouble when he got home, so who gives a fucking? He's home doing nothing. He's he's lit. Really? He's lit? What? Man, let's go back to school when you got suspended. I got suspended plenty of times. It was lit. Like we off for three days. It's lit. They gotta go to work. What the fuck they think I'm doing? Staying in here, Jack? I'm out.

That shit you just did right there, nigga. Suspended. That's suspended shit. This nigga, what the fuck? Come on. At least I didn't go to jail. I got suspended. Would you have a suspension for your children? Turn his fucking mic. Turn his mic off. I was on the suspended list. Turn his mic off. His mic needs to cut off. I was getting packed up. But listen, pack him up. But for the 29-year-old, chalk it up. It's what it is. It's life, bro. 13-year-olds, they're gonna make mistakes. They're gonna do stupid things. It happens. You did stupid shit when you was 13. It's okay. That's your mother's child. Leave it alone. The most you could do is have a conversation with your little brother and let him know how important stealing is something not to be doing. That's it.
SPEAKER_00That's the worst part about this whole thing. That's at least brother, right?
SPEAKER_01Well, he's 29. He needs to take that on the hop. Like, they don't why'd you why is you why'd you manage your 13-year-old brother for trying to do it?
SPEAKER_02Why is he asking Maino about this?
