TNT Podcast. We are live Turn up Tanaka Back at it Podcast. Yeah, all that good stuff, tanaka. How are we?
Speaker 2:How are we feeling? Just got a lot of work, a lot of work to do, still rehabbing and kind of recovering from the injury. It's been kind of a slow process, a little frustrating, but it's getting there, it's getting there, it's getting there. So aside from that, I'm also, you know, got to get kind of stamina back. You know I'll be a little winded out there.
Speaker 1:Percentage-wise. Where are you?
Speaker 2:We'll say like a 73. No, it's not too bad. Yeah, it's not too bad. Yeah, I really just need to. I think I need to find a good masseuse. You know what I'm saying? I feel like a good massage.
Speaker 1:I don't know One time for Big Meech on a check-in. I wouldn't even really know where to look for something like that. I guess you could just go on Google, I guess, and look up masseuse.
Speaker 2:Yeah, is that something you would ever do?
Speaker 1:Get a massage yeah get a massage. Yeah, I mean, if it, I don't know, probably I don't know. I mean I guess if I needed it, I guess, but I guess there are professionals out there, but I don't, I mean, I don't see myself going out and you know, getting a massage.
Speaker 2:Like I don't know, I don't know, it just seems not weird, but I don't know, I don't know, it just seems not weird, but I don't know. Yeah, I just remember this one time I had got a massage, but I think I want to say it was in like new york and I don't know. I just felt hella relaxed after that joint. Oh then then you was experienced the professional massage before I wouldn't say it was even professional, like it was just like a professional massage before I wouldn't say it was even professional. It was just like it was just off the cuff you know what I'm saying Like I was rolling with my partner and his girl.
Speaker 2:You know, and we was just, we was just kind of walking out there in New York and she, I guess she had you know kind of put in her schedule to get a massage, and so it was like, but it wasn't even like. You know, when people think massage, they think like you know, you're on a table and like you know all that. It wasn't even necessarily that Like we were sitting in a chair, you know, and just.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because that's definitely what I thought. Okay, yeah, why? You know it was just some like quick joint, though you know it was like 15, 20 minutes, but I don't know that 15, 20 minutes man Makes a difference. That joint was kind of crazy.
Speaker 1:Makes a difference. Yeah, that's cool. Like I said, I've never I mean anytime I think of massages, I just think of I don't know you having a shorty and she's massaging you down or whatever. But other than that I don't really know much about massages. I don't know how professional she is, but I know Gina said she does massages. Yeah, I think, now that I think further back, I think my cousin does that. Shout out Camille, I think she does that.
Speaker 2:How you going. No Turnup, what's the word? Man, how you been.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to think about where I was at the last episode. I mean, I'm trying to think about where I was at the last episode, I don't know, just kind of under the gun for nice and slow, because it's getting closer and it's actually the month of as we speak and by the time the next episode drops it will be it will be two days, no, three days away.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:When the next episode drops. So yeah, just watching all these or listening to all these different people talk about it is interesting.
Speaker 2:Oh, for real, Go ahead. You want to share what you're going to say? Oh, I mean, you've heard, I mean, you've heard, I mean you've heard, oh no. What are you talking about? Like stories, or are you talking?
Speaker 1:about the second rank. Oh no, just people, yeah, no, just people Just talking about Like just people just talking about Nice and Slow yeah.
Speaker 2:People that we've never heard. That's crazy.
Speaker 1:You know about it, guys but um one time for tj on check-in ticket number one man ticket number one ticket.
Speaker 2:Number one ticket number one.
Speaker 1:While we're on the subject, go ahead and get your tickets. We are trickling down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my pre-sale tickets they are going. You know I appreciate everybody for the support. You know. Thank you for you know, contacting myself with turn up or pre-sale ticket, they going for $15 at the door will be 20. Um, skip line gonna be 25, right, why?
Speaker 1:is that right, um, while we're making announcements, I just thought I uh put this out there and apologize for last episode, because we were very unprepared. Now, I ain't gonna lie, these mics kind of got me. I'm gonna be looking down every few seconds. But what's interesting about last episode is you guys missed the most interesting conversation because that conversation got cut because the mic's cut off. So I just thought I'd bring it back, because this was something that um tanaka had brought up from the hall of fame and you were referring to the ysl trial. Yeah, and I just wanted to, I wanted you to. You know, yeah, spend, yeah, just spend the block on that to tell us some some I don't want to say highlights, cause that's kind of that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2:If you're saying highlights from a trial.
Speaker 1:But like the parts cause I remember, cause you were saying that. Well, okay.
Speaker 2:I'll just let you take the floor for the YSL trial. I mean long story short. I've kind of developed this fascination with trials and you know how everybody be dreading jury duty. They get that joy in the bell.
Speaker 1:I think I've only had one time where I actually got called to the thing for them to potentially give me jury duty. Luckily I didn't get it. You didn't get selected.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't get selected. No, it's crazy, because I've lived in other states. I've kind of like ducked it like the whole time. You know what I'm saying Must be nice. Yeah, so I've never. Actually, you know, I had this opportunity, you did right.
Speaker 2:But I say all that to say that I be going on YouTube watching these trials just because I don't know they be so intriguing to me, the way that you know the prosecutor, the way that they have to ask questions to the witnesses and people involved and present their case.
Speaker 2:And then it's just hilarious because, depending on the type of the case, you're going to get a whole bunch of different characters coming into the courtroom. And I guess I was under the like impression that the courtroom was kind of like you know, you're supposed to speak, like I'm not saying like all the way proper, you did, but I would figure that you wouldn't be like cussing and stuff. But I'm talking about the, the folks that's in this joint is just for the c. They cussing left and right bro Glass to the wall. Do not care at all, you dig. And then the fact that there's so many little incidents going on in terms of like one of the lawyers I guess had pushed a security guard or something like that and he ended up getting like a little fine or I don't know some, some and um yeah, pushing a security guard, like just by itself, like anywhere, I feel like it's like red that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I'm like, what is going on in this trial?
Speaker 1:yeah, like let alone court, like right court was like a whole another. Like like bro, you can't even just touch the janitor. Like exactly exactly.
Speaker 2:And then next, you know um one of the defendants, they um, they had to take him out of the courtroom. You know, and and they're like all right, bro, where is it like? He's like bro, I don't know what she's talking about. Look, they're like bruh. We don't want to do this the hard way or anything, man, but look, man, you are reeking of marijuana in the court, like everybody around you can smell it in the courtroom.
Speaker 2:All right, you like and it's you. So what's up, man? Like I don't know what you're talking about, bro. They had to strip search this man.
Speaker 1:They found out that there was like two nuggets of marijuana that was sewn into his underwear. So let me ask you to knock it with with. With all that being said, right, what before he got strip-searched? Did you believe that he was just? He probably just smoked a little blunt and, like you know, oh, not at all you know, I think he was locked up. So I see, I with that, with that perception, I didn't know, with that perspective, I didn't know that. Yeah, I perspective, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I was like bro, come on, man, like they going to find out some way or another, right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:So yeah, and the court. I would think court would definitely take it there.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Absolutely so. The crazy thing about it is they was respectful about it, they was taking off his clothes right, and then it got to him and his drawers right, and they're like, look, we don't want to do this, but if you don't, if you're not gonna like, I got none, bro. And then, as so, they're like, all right. So they started to go for his underwear and he just starts yelling and, mind you, he's in a room just like nearby the courtroom. So the court is hearing, they're over there proceeding with the child and they just hear this ah, ah, thank god. And so they try to move him to another room. You know, I'm saying just so that it wouldn't be as loud. Obviously it was a disturbance in the court.
Speaker 2:And then, on top of that, eventually the judge has been fed up with this. You know he addressed the prosecution, the defense. He said look, we're not trying to have this trial. Go to the next Super Bowl, all right, we're not going to have this. So unless you guys started sending your stuff in on time, we're not going to have this. Unless you guys started sending your stuff in on time, it's not going to get accounted for in this trial because the professionalism that has been displayed is not up to standard.
Speaker 2:I'm going to keep it honest with you guys. It has not been up to standard. I would hold everybody a part of this case in contempt for the actions, because this is not it. I know you guys are better than that. I know you guys are, are doing your job, but we need to have a little bit better professionalism and we need to be on top of things because we are wasting too much time. You know the jury's getting fed up, everybody involved getting fed up, and I've already spoken to the sheriff and if we have to do it, we'll take it to the weekend. We'll have court on saturdays and sundays just to move this trial along if we don't proceed in a timely manner. So I'll probably see what my judge fed up man.
Speaker 1:So you know so do you understand. So do you understand where the judge is coming from.
Speaker 2:So you understand where the judge is coming from. Yeah, I mean I haven't watched it in its entirety, but I can understand that this trial is kind of dragging. You know, like I get it, it's a lot of people involved with the RICO and all that, but at the same instance, like you know, the questioning that is going on, you know it's that is going on, you know it's, it's, it's a lot man.
Speaker 1:So you know. So do you see it from the, the, the people, that is, the people that are the judge is saying is being unprofessional? Do you see it from their perspective, like do you, do you understand what they're going through, or is it like they're?
Speaker 2:bullshitting. So it's like uh, it's a mix of both. It's a mix of both because you know, obviously they're dealing with some hard-headed characters in there. You know, you got bruv and they're just like bro, please yo, please bro. I do not remember, bro. They asked me all these questions about 10, 10 years ago, but I don't remember, bro, I do not remember, bro?
Speaker 1:yeah, I do. Okay, I do remember that conversation because you were telling, because I was like I mean, in a sense, they probably really don't remember because these group of people that be with young, I'm almost sure be perked up right, drugged up all that type of shit so yeah so yeah, so you know, judge, like sir, you need to answer the question.
Speaker 2:He just fed up at the witness stand. They don't threaten me, bro. I'm supposed to be at work, bro. I'm over here losing money bro.
Speaker 1:And he probably real too. Like, bro I got jobs, bro, I got kids to feed. Like we doing all this.
Speaker 2:They said if I don't show up, they're going to put me in jail, bro. So I'm here, bro.
Speaker 1:Imagine going to jail for court. That is a crazy I don't know, bro. That sounds like I don't know. That sounds crazy. It is pretty wild. It's pretty wild. That sounds pretty crazy.
Speaker 2:But oh, and the last. Thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2:Oh, and the last thing yeah, that's what I was going to ask, of course, the young lady who was a part of the jury went and pulled out her phone and started recording in the trial. And it's like bro. You obviously know that's against the law, bro, you obviously know that's against the like, but I know it'd be. You know they do the classic courtroom like guidelines and rules before they say this extensive thing right, so for you to go and reach in your bag, pull out a phone and then press record, you know that's off limits and so crazy.
Speaker 2:You know she was like judge, can I just pay? You know the fine was like judge, can I just pay? You know the fine, I'm sorry. And he's like no, no, you cannot pay the fine. Ok, you clearly defied my authority by pulling out your phone, what I told you time and time again in this courtroom, the rules of this trial, and so for you to just blatantly just pull out your phone and record. It's clearly you don't care and you weren't listening and so, no, you're going to spend three days in jail for this action.
Speaker 1:Long story short, you test my gangsters so I got to make an example out of you. That's what that sounds like More prior to the judge, because it sounds like. Well, from what I hear, from what you're telling me, it sounds like the judge is trying to be respectful and just trying to move on with this case. But, like folks is just like, he just feels his case just crumbling and it's just chaos and he's like all right bro yeah, no, that's, that's pretty much it.
Speaker 2:You know he's like I don't the way that we're moving. I don't even know what type of case we're presenting to the jury right now.
Speaker 1:You know like this is just the jury don't know it's there because they're trying to record like it's just all over the place. All over the place, yeah, all over the place. But what? What is all over the place? I ain't gonna lie to you, tanaka, I'm actually looking at like everything that happened from from the last episode to now. There was actually a lot of shit that happened in between time. Um, I was.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna start off with the karaoke, the karaoke karaoke. Always, metro shout out to Metro Diner, metro Diner always makes me laugh because, like everybody, well, I'll say you, you Drip, you and Drip, but Drip don't work anymore. But the fact that it always be y'all, always be like bro, like bro, I'll never be a tip bro, right, right, and all this stuff. And bruh, I literally had a guy in there that was like hey, bruh, I'm finna, fire you up, bruh. Hey, I'm finna, throw this file on you. Every time I give you this song, fire you up, fire, fire, fire, fire. I'm like like bruh, like how does this happen every time? Like this is just crazy.
Speaker 2:But um See, it's wild, crazy. But um see, this is wild because, like literally every time I'm with turnip, this man is like getting tips crazy, like crazy for real, and that's why I like he's like, uh, tanaka, you kind of blocking the tip jar. I'm like, oh, I'm not even used to that, because I don't even pay attention to that joint. That's how, look bro.
Speaker 1:And then those folks look bro, and there's folks standing right in front of it, bro. I ain't gonna lie bro, I'd be paranoid Because it'd be a lot of For the people that don't know what Metro Diner is. This is in the middle of Atlanta and it's kind of a landmark. So, like you'll see, a lot of different people just randomly, randomly walked in. He looked like he was drugged up on something. He walked in, paused for a second, looked up, looked at me, looked back up and walked out like he wasn't even with nobody. Like it was really weird.
Speaker 1:I was like whatever, I guess sure but, um, yeah, but it'd be a lot of, it'd be a lot of different people. You'll definitely, you definitely have some different opportunities. Uh, working in there. I mean, yeah, definitely, just working there. Um, right, oh, and this is some breaking news. I didn't get to tell you this tonic starts uh, his, uh, his audition, his training, uh, either tomorrow or friday, but beautiful yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just I just spoke to a source you know, I'm saying who who had revealed that information. They had a conversation. I'm glad to hear that it wasn't just a conversation.
Speaker 1:It actually turned into something. I'm glad you shared that with me In our little group of DJs, if anybody was fit to go into.
Speaker 2:Metro Diner Tonic Hands down, hands down, right up his alley.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because he knows the black folks, he knows the white folks, he knows that age group that has to be up there, the 21 to I don't know 60, 70-something that would be up there, and then on top't know 60, 70, something that would be up there, and then on top of that he's going to do the karaoke.
Speaker 2:If no one's doing it, he'll go ahead, and you know.
Speaker 1:He's kind of like a female Nika for Nishe.
Speaker 2:And then it's crazy because I had DJ with Nishe one of them sessions and she was over there like Tanaka. What's so funny? Because I was just cracking up laughing. I said, bud, you see, this crowd this right here is like the epitome of Metro Diamond right here. What was going on right before? But shout out to Neshea, she is a good host with that Metro diamond, you know, because she'll go out there, do all the dances yeah and she'll, she'll break the ice.
Speaker 1:She'll break the ice with the karaoke twos. I've seen her do it like folks don't want to do it, and then go around the bar talking to people, singing to everybody so I'm like yes, she, she knows what she's doing.
Speaker 1:For sure, she definitely knows what she's doing. Oh boy, oh boy. This Friday that just passed, g Cole bruh Loaded. It was so weird Not saying that G Cole isn't, because sometimes they have their ups and downs. G Cole sometimes has their ups and downs. Dj tanaka called it. He was like sir, just know, this is what everybody's talking about yeah, everybody's talking about gico, gico, gico g.
Speaker 1:That's all I see. And what's crazy was, as soon as I got off of work, like it was, somebody had posted on their story and there was like the notes and it was like gico, gico g, like okay, well, we'll see what happens. And on top of that, on top of it being straight out of Jiko, which is the last Friday of each month, they had a middle school there. And then, on top of that, they had a party there.
Speaker 1:So at at certain points it got overwhelming, like to the point that like we had to stop stuff, people was injuring themselves right. Like folks got caught smoking and vaping so they got to kick them out. Like it was just.
Speaker 2:It was just a lot, it was just a lot going on so I wish I was there, man um I I saw the footage of the step competition and that's what I was going to talk about.
Speaker 1:I will say this Shout out to Miss Levelhead on the check-in.
Speaker 2:Shout out to Leah, one time for Bama.
Speaker 1:Right, alabama in the spot. But, yeah, I want to give a big shout out to Skate Mafia and Diverse because that was probably the most intense. That was probably the most intense battle, like, okay, so this is what happened, right, so they had the full battle and they had the crowd participation and you can obviously tell that Skate Mafia has folks behind them before anything else. Real deal fans out there. Yeah, the real deal. Diverse were definitely the underdogs and so when they did the crowd participation part, it was like Skate Mafia, of course, whatever. And then I was like I didn't want to come off, like I'm like all right, diverse, I just gave them the same energy and they were like, ah, the same way. And I was like, really, so I was like, dang, we got to do a round two.

If you look at the crowd around, it was loaded bro, yes, bro it yeah, like a real crowd like this is an event awesome. Like you got served, like it was like it's like why it's just wild, because I think that's the first Gico.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna see the growth of like where it is now the fact that people, the fact that the fact that G Co has organically made like of Atlanta writers, like in that area, right, like of course, of course the folks on the west side and folks on the east side like they kind of don't take it serious because it's not the hood and like that's like the perception of where atl rides should be coming from, but like it's crazy, like I've seen. Like I've seen like skaters like come up from guinette, yeah, and moved somewhere else all right boy don't, don't forget where you came from, but I remember where you came from.

So, ladies and gentlemen, if you didn't know, there's a style called jersey style and on this Saturday was it May 4th, may 4th, may 4th we are having a Jersey night and we're calling it.

Breezy, if you're still here, can we do that, because I didn't think about that. May the fourth be with you. That's crazy. I didn't think about that. I don't know, it might be too late.

Speaker 2:It's so Sunday I was over there doing my like you know alright, so that was the last song that night. Man Breezy, like I look at my phone, take it to the house and then you're like.
Speaker 1:You would think there was nothing else going on. Ah, this is that Breezy you would think there is nothing else going on, like he's pushing Taker to the house. And not posting traffic I mean, you're not wrong. I mean you could say you're not playing, but I mean it was the week of and it was three. Well, let me ask you this Tanaka, do you feel like Trap Fever is at a point where it doesn't need to get promoted anymore?
Speaker 2:No, I feel like it always need to be promoted, man.
Speaker 1:Like I said, tell me if I'm tripping or not.
Speaker 2:No, you're not tripping, I just found it funny because I don't be watching the stories so I ain't even know.

That's kind of his baby man right, so.
Speaker 1:So so what I was gonna say was if you're interested in the jersey style skating, but on top of that you're actually into house music, because breezy doesn't actually play for Jersey skaters, he actually plays the real house songs. So you're not just getting that skate tempo, you're getting the real deal Holyfield house tempo. He's pushing the shit.

Speaker 2:you be. Yeah, no, no, I just I go out for a walk, you know I'm saying and be in nature, my dumb ass. Yeah, we do. Yeah, because we used to walk some mountains. Yeah, that was really because I used to be cooped up in the car, you know, all night, and then on top of that, just traveling to different rinks and stuff, you know, and then obviously in a rink, you know we're in a building. So we're not getting exposed to just outside nature, and all that.

Speaker 1:Shout out to Trey yeah, I'm glad we have a little positivity while we finna go through the shit right now. Question of the day. Question of the day. So, um, so we're gonna discuss the fucking past. So we're gonna, we're gonna discuss, we're gonna discuss the fucking past, since we Don't Trust you Came out till now and then I'll give you the question Of the day. So so we Don't Trust you came out and everybody was talking about the Kendrick Verse or the Kendrick feature. So here's the thing about that. Right, and I don't know. I'm only speaking for myself. I didn't even realize that he was dissing anybody. Did you realize that he was dissing somebody?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I think his.
Speaker 1:Had you already heard somebody talk about him dissing somebody? Or did you listen to it and be like, oh okay.
Speaker 2:Because I feel like I heard the record. Did I hear? Well, yeah, we were listening I think I heard it was you.
Speaker 1:That was like the second time the second time you heard it I think yeah, yeah yeah, when, when I heard it in the car that was first time me hearing it, boy you know, I was like good lord, like this shit. And then and then come to find out that he was dissing somebody and then the people he was dissing, I was like, oh yes, competition, back in hip-hop.
Speaker 2:I love it it's just so wild because that was a night that was cascade that was cascade you did cascade was that motherland?
Speaker 1:yep yep, it was, it sure was, because that's when I had made the I got turn up, yeah.
Speaker 2:I do remember that.
Speaker 1:But yeah, yeah, shout out to Motherland, but um, yeah, so, um. So how did you, how did you feel about, how did you feel about their verses?
Speaker 2:I do remember you were just magnitude. Well, I don't know. I guess that's a good question. Do you feel like it had the magnitude of control?
Speaker 1:no, because he wasn't. He wasn't, he wasn't like, he wasn't like going after everybody right and on top of that he didn't, he didn't name anybody right right so that's why, that's why I even thought like I didn't know he was dissing anybody. But then I went back and listened and then, now that I know the the, now that I know the context, and then he said first person shooter.
Speaker 2:I was like okay, yeah, I just, I mean, I looked at it like hip hop man. You know, like hip hop has always been a competitive joint, you did, I get it. You know, that's always kind of been classic of like I'm the best right, I'm the best MC in the game, right, and you know it. Honestly, I feel like it was necessary because you know, drex obviously had, you know, different foes come at him and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:But we're going to talk about that.
Speaker 2:I'm going to bring that up.
Speaker 1:I'm going to bring that up. Yeah, I'm going to bring that up later. So after the like that, the seven minute drill came out. J Cole, after that came out. It was funny, it was so late when we were coming from Cascade. Right, we were coming from Cascade. Was that the same night or was that something different?
Speaker 2:No, that was something different. Why were we at?
Speaker 1:Casc at cascade. Was it drip? No, was it the meeting? We might have been a meeting I feel like it was the meeting, but we were gonna listen to it but it was so late. I was, I was, I was, I was driven.
Speaker 2:I was ready fucking yeah, we was debating on giving y'all an emergency podcast. Man, yeah, but it was yeah.
Speaker 1:I was out of it. But yeah, I ain't gonna lie, I was like oof Cole's coming with the heat boy and then he went on performance and apologized and then took it off of the stream. Now here's the thing. I don't fault him for that. What? And do you know why? No Name of the thing. I don't fault him for that, and do you know why? Name of the project True, the same reason why I don't fault Roddy Ricch for his Live Fast project, because it's just a whole bunch of shit happening. I get it. The shit was called Mike Delete Later. So I can't be mad at that. But you going on stage being like I don't even know what he said. I didn't watch it because I was like, oh, that's some bullshit, like bro, why are you apologizing?
Speaker 2:It didn't sit right in my soul. It was bothering me. I had to apologize to my partner because I ain't it didn't feel right with me, you know, to my partner because I ain't. It didn't feel right with me, you know so, yeah, I apologize, I didn't.
Speaker 1:So that's what he said. Basically, I was like bro, I can't even play this. No, I can't even play this. Like like bro, you, you went back on your word like this is equivalent to um a situation that happened with a rapper named dax. I want to say his name. You do you know a rapper? He's an underground rapper, but I think he's like tall, he has like big hair or some shit like that, and he's kind of like he kind of built. Actually, you ever heard of it, does he?
Speaker 2:ring a bell. No, nah not quite.
Speaker 1:Anyway, it's kind of like his situation with Tory Lanez. He came out with a song dissing Tory Lanez and he was dissing him bad, but but Tory Lanez pulled up on him in his truck, got his phone out and was like apologize, nigga apologize. He was like I'm sorry, man. Oh, that's crazy. I think I remember this video.
Speaker 2:He was like apologize, nigga, apologize, I'm sorry, man. Oh, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:I think I remember this video he was like yeah, nigga, I was like bro, I don't even want to see your record, right, right yo apologize, that's kind of wild I mean, I ain't gonna lie. That's a little bit more extreme than j cole like saying my bad you, my bro, in that situation that's like me and you roasting each other and I'm like my bad bro. I know I probably hit a nail, I get that, but bro yo, I pull up on you and you apologize on the.
Speaker 1:Come on, bro, that's crazy Characters that is yeah, I feel like career gone before it even starts. But anywho, shout out to J Cole. I can appreciate him for just being a good person. I can appreciate that, but on the same side, this is hip hop, bro, fuck you. Apologize, but shout out to J.
Speaker 2:Cole Nah, it's tough, because that's what I always like. I respect Cole for, obviously, the music that he be making, but then at, because that's what I always like, I respect Cole for obviously the music that he be making. But then at the same time, I be wanting that Cole from like the mixtapes when he just be spazzing bro yeah, Fade Cole.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to say I don't think he's hungry, but I think I'll say Fade Cole was a little hungrier. I'll say, but anyway, moving on. So after that we get push-ups, Drop and give me 50. And I was like, ooh, okay, this is giving me back-to-back vibes. And I was like okay. And then was like okay. And then your boy, DJ20, comes back in the situation. Here we go. You want to elaborate?
Speaker 2:on the more this conversation OVO20. Ovo20. Ovo20.
Speaker 1:You want to elaborate on these conversations, oh Tanaka.
Speaker 2:What's up, Tanaka? Where's your favorite rapper?
Speaker 1:at. Oh, before that, you see when the goats no, what's funny is so before that he was like see, and this is where he kind of contradicts himself and 20 kind of contradicts itself. Where the the kendrick shit came out, he's like oh bro, we don't even. Bro, drake is on tour right now. Bro, you don't even got time. A week later he dropped push-ups. Drop, give me 50. So that happens, and so is. Let me ask you this how did you feel about the Push Up record? Nah, push Up's.
Speaker 2:Well, okay, my bad.
Speaker 1:Let me double back because I never actually got your perception of the Cole record. But how did you feel about the Cole record and how did you feel about the?
Speaker 2:Cole record was like I mean I was intrigued, you know what I'm saying. I was like you know. I mean I was intrigued, you know what I'm saying. I was like you know, because I know that everybody like, honestly, like I know everybody's making a big deal of these diss records and all that, but I'm just like bro, they just they cutting the stove on you know what I'm saying Like we didn't even get like the full meal yet. You feel me? So that's why I'm like I'm hearing it out, like it. That's why I'm hearing it out it's dope, but I know that they still get warmed up. That's why the seven-minute joint, I was like, okay, that's interesting, cold throwing his hat in the ring type joint.
Speaker 2:Personally, I wouldn't necessarily agree. You know what I'm saying. I also know that I have a different perspective.
Speaker 1:He had said, you know to, Pim Butterfly, everybody's.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying and I was going to bring that up too. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I know that some people had that perception Boy, that hit him right here when.
Speaker 2:I read that to him, he was like I ain't going to lie.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying I agree with it, but I ain't gonna lie, we got a little bit too much of Kendrick on that pencil paper world and that's my opinion. That's my opinion and you know that's how it is. But I was glad that he was able to dial it back a little bit, for damn, it was like it was still him, but it was like, okay, let's try to bring a little bit of everything. So that's just. It was like, yeah, it was still him, but it was like, okay, like let's, let's try to, let's try to, you know, bring a little bit of everything so that.
Speaker 2:That's just so a part of that. You know it's interesting enough. I kind of look at it, like you know, I like to look at music like food, you know. So I feel like damn was more digestible. You know I'm saying so. But with the pimple butterfly it was very intense and it's like not for everybody, not for you know, I'm saying so but what to? Pimp a butterfly. It was very intense and it's like not for everybody not, for you know what I'm saying so and that's.
Speaker 2:I guess that's kind of like how I am in some sorts, just because I'm a big fan of dark chocolate. A lot of people don't like dark chocolate. You know what I'm saying. They'd be like bro tanaka, I don't know how you eat this bittership, so but um, but the seven minute freestyle was cool. I was like you know I'm saying dope cold throwing his head in the ring. You know I'm saying I didn't fully agree with it but, I was like.
Speaker 2:I was like, cool, you know what I'm saying. I'm not mad at competition, right, for the sake of competition. Um, what did I say? Um spirit of competition? Right, spirit of competition. I respect it. It's hip-hop. Yeah, you know, I'm saying, let's make it interesting, right, you know?
Speaker 1:right so, but okay so, um so we're gonna, we're gonna veer off real quick, right? Um well, it's not gonna be veer off like in a sense of it's not gonna be very often. This is we're gonna be like off topic, but because it's still the same topic, but we're gonna veer off, it's gonna be kind of like side mission dlc type shit. So I don't know when the fuck this happened, but apparently chris brown and quavo started, like right started, uh, dissing each other. Do you know the origin of that?
Speaker 2:I do not. That's a beef I haven't looked too far into, because that one got ugly, I feel like that. One is a little more commercial. You know what I'm saying you think so. Just in terms of my bad, maybe commercial is not the right word More. So I guess it doesn't interest me, excuse me as much, because with this one, the one that we currently like, kendrick and all them like that's hip-hop, you know. So I kind of expect them to be like battling and you don't consider.
Speaker 2:But quavo, I feel like I don't consider like he's a rapper, of course, but I don't look at him as like a lyricist. He's a real. You know, I'm saying I look at, yeah, I look at him as, just like you know, he's a good music, hip-hop artist, yeah, you know. And then on top of that chris brown is an r&b singer, but he don't get twisted breezy then also stepped in that rap ring too. You know on the mixtapes.
Speaker 1:You know, I was gonna say so I I give a shout out to him and um kevin mccall for that bt cypher they did on the hip-hop awards.
Speaker 1:I was very impressed, very impressed I was. I mean, I mean, I've heard, I've heard chris brown rap and he actually has a couple tracks on a couple of his uh, of his mixtapes in the early 2010s called real hip-hop talk and I was highly impressed. So I hear you, um, but but boy did it get ugly. Like it's like it got ugly. Yeah, yeah, that one got really ugly because chris brown's talking about goddamn well, he's not talking about takeoff, but like the fact that he say that folks like wished it was you that got killed rather than take off. That is right, that that's. That's not even fighting words, that's no, it's and it's um.
Speaker 2:Well, I think also because I heard, like from what I heard, I heard it was like over the grill or something like that. And so like with that I just be like I mean, I get it. You know, this is kind of like a I don't know I just be looking at like an ego type of thing, you know, like puffing out their chest like no, I had it first or no.
Speaker 1:I got, I got you know some type of thing. So it's like. So let me ask you this did you hear either record?
Speaker 2:I think I did there are. How many were there? I feel like it was one, each one, each. I feel like it was one and I did, yeah, the weakest link and um.
Speaker 1:The weakest link, I think, was quavo's. I didn't listen to his. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, uh, I did listen to chris brown.
Speaker 2:I forgot what chris brown's one was called yeah, um no, I definitely heard them both yeah yeah, um yeah, it got real.
Speaker 1:It got real. Ugly definitely got real. Um, so let me ask you this if you were to, if you were to pick like, if you were to pick like who, who has the one up between them? Who would you? Who?
Speaker 2:in your opinion, who would you say that's a tough one? That's a tough one also just because I look at that as like they just cooking up, let's have some more, or is that just going to be it?
Speaker 1:okay, so let me ask you this, then let me rephrase the question who has the one up at the moment.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was going to answer you. I think I would give it to Breezy. You know what I'm saying, because that delivery and the way that he was just you know what I'm saying, you know, rapping on the record Like he was going in, breezy was going in. You know, yeah, he was going in, breezy was going in. You know and, um, yeah, he was taking real shots you know, quavo, that was that quavo was commendable.
Speaker 2:You know I'm saying um, but once again I feel like quavo, you know, wasn't fully like unloading the arsenal type of deal, like I feel like I feel like quavo was just talking about shit that has already been talked about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the rihanna thing. I was like. I mean not saying that you automatically lose if you talk about rihanna, but like, bro, that shit's been beat with it, like that dead horse has been dead for decades now.
Speaker 1:Like come on, bro, like let's come up with something new, right, but like it was, I mean it was, I mean it was cool, it was cool, it was cool, but I don't know, it was just the fact that you didn't have nothing else Like you could have. Really, if you would have left that out, you probably would have gotten more points from me. Mm-hmm, because, like bro, everybody talks about him beating Rihanna together, like afterwards, like come on, bro, let's, let's, let's give up, let's give up on that.
Speaker 2:But um, well, yeah, man, let's, okay, so let's veer back on the road well, the next question is do you think there's gonna be, do you think it's done, like that's where it's gonna stay, or do you think?
Speaker 1:and I'm glad you brought that up. I'm not gonna lie, I never. I I don't want, I don't want ever. I don't want any of this to ever become like a Biggie and Tupac thing where niggas get killed. I mean not, granted, pop didn't get killed because the Biggie fucking beefy jumped a crib in Vegas and got dealt with. I don't want it to ever get to a point where both people have to die for reasons. I'll just say this let's just hope that this just stays on on records, on wax, as they, as they used to say let's just, let's just keep this on wax. That I just hope. Do I feel like they're gonna respond to each other? Um, maybe, possibly. I mean, I don't see quavo really doing anything for real besides features right now, so I could see him responding.
Speaker 2:Um, chris brown is still chris brown, so like he may or may not, and this is just gonna settle into the, the social media streets, where they uh, you know just be posting subliminal pictures and yeah, they might um you know shout out to aj on the check it's crazy. We just talking about escape mafia.
Speaker 1:But, um, I don't know, I feel because, because I don't did you hear about the petty shit that chris brown did to cuevo at his concert?
Speaker 1:oh no, I ain't about that one so I don't know how true this is, but there's a video, there's like a picture, and and 50 did this to ja rule a couple years ago. I don't know if you heard about that, but apparently it's a picture of, like cuevo's concert and it's like, it's just like okay, do you? Do you remember how it looked when we did Super Bell out Monday? And everybody was just in the front and in the back there was nobody. That's what it looked like. It was like a picture from the back and everybody was just crowded in the front and it was just nobody in the back and there was just more no seats in the back. Apparently, chris Brown bought all those seats. Yeah, yeah, that's a classic.
Speaker 2:No, I remember I think Drake had did that to push it serious.
Speaker 1:Oh did he? Oh, I don't think I knew that that's crazy. No, I don't think I knew that, but yeah. So I mean, it might just be some like they just just keep on like, yeah, but in a sense that really doesn't chop a pop a ton are gonna check in, but um he, uh, what's crazy about that is that that actually doesn't help. I mean, it helps like look wise, but he still gets that money like I quote that to what easy said on straight out of Compton when they were on the tour bus and they were stomping on their records and it was like I want to keep saying he's like dang.
Speaker 1:You say a little truth and everybody goes crazy. Eazy's like well, to be honest with you, they can do whatever they want with it. They paid for it.
Speaker 1:They bought the motherfuckers, and that's real. You, they bought the motherfuckers, and that's real. You already bought the ticket. I could be performing for one person. As long as someone bought these tickets or these empty seats, I don't fucking care. So whatever, I don't know Tavir back in. I don't know if this ever released, but apparently there's an unreleased verse of kanye doing like that. Have you heard that? Oh, I have heard that you've heard that.
Speaker 2:I thought that was officially released oh, was it officially released. I know, I thought it was, I'm just saying oh no, it might have been.
Speaker 1:The last thing I heard about it was that it wasn't. But I mean, if you can elaborate, I don't know. You heard it. I heard a little bit of it. I heard the part where he said I put on J Cole or something that makes her pussy dry, or some shit like that.
Speaker 2:I was like it's just funny because he starts it off like, yeah, kendrick, this is awesome. Like, yeah, kendrick, I got you, we gotta get these pussies up out there. Here we go, here we go. I'm like yeah, kendrick, I got you, we got to get these pussies up out there. Here we go, here we go Round one, right, so that's just. I don't know. I just I figured that makes sense, like when Ye came with it Fitting, because I almost thought what was going to happen. It was like some drake j cole versus kanye. And yeah, kendrick, yeah, you know, that would have been hard that would have been hard for him so but um, but yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 2:I mean, it was entertaining. Ye's joint was entertaining, I know know he re-flipped the beat.
Speaker 1:Oh, of course he always. You know what I realized? Kanye does that a lot to all the songs he jumps on and remixes on. I remember that for three, well three counting this one. The other two was Drunk In Love. I don't know if you ever heard his version of Drunk In Love, but he did that with that he did that with that. I feel like I have he did it with that and then he did that with I Don't Like I don't remember listening to that. I was like I don't remember hearing this song.
Speaker 2:That's what I remember, because I think he mentioned it in the Like that joint. Didn't he say that I invented drill? And then he said, no, that was Young Chop. No, I'm just playing, that was Young Chop, or something like that I don't know.
Speaker 1:Like I said, I didn't really hear the whole thing. I just remember hearing the J Cole makes the pussy dry. I was like Kanye, you petty as hell bro, some Gemini shit, bro, some Gemini shit for real. But yeah, so I'm trying to think, okay, so after that, then the oh, we already talked about push-ups. So then Ross comes in with the um, champagne moments right, I think is what it's called and I don't remember. Did you say you didn't hear that one? I didn't, you didn't hear that one. So the ross champagne moments, in my opinion, is a good record, it's good. Is it to the? Is it to the level of of kendrick cole drake and and yay, and even yay, I probably would say no but well, we had to, okay.
Speaker 2:So here's one thing, that about these disjoints that we had to clarify, right, right is it? Okay, because people be basing it off of two different things.
Speaker 2:I feel like these disjoints, right, some people are going to be like, how listenable is the record? So they're going to base part of it off of, like the beat and all that, where a lot of us will just be like, as long as the lyrics and the diss is crazy, you know, the beat doesn't have to be all the way. You know what I mean. So that's why, like I get, why a lot of people bump, like the push-ups joint yeah, because the beat is dope.
Speaker 1:You know what?
Speaker 1:I'm saying and honestly, all the songs that I've named like before are like songs that you could probably play in the club right now. The ross joint you probably can't. That's what I was gonna ask you. Like the ross joint. So the beat is definitely like some riding in the car type shit. But I'm like I said I'm cool with that because a lot of ross's music is like that, like a lot of Ross' music is like that, Like a lot of the shit. I always said him and Justice League should come out with a tape of just him like doing shit, like Amsterdam and Maybach music type shit. Like his vibe music is amazing to me. But yeah, it's kind of like the Champagne Moments beat is kind of like a Justice League but it's like it's like evil twin, Like it's like it's like real, it's like real ugly. I hear that it's like not real ugly, but it's ugly, it's ugly and you can.
Speaker 2:That's. That's my thing about it. I want rappers like to stay true to their artistry. At the same time, Like, even though you're doing all these disses, I don't want them to come out and step out of their lane. You know what I mean. That fits Ross Ross makes great vibe music, so if you're going to do a diss, I'm not mad at him doing a diss on that.
Speaker 1:You know what it reminds me of, now that I say it out loud, it kind of sounds like those vibe joints I was talking about, but mixed with, like you remember that diss joint he came out with in the late 2000s Mafia music. The beat isn't that hard, it's still vibey, but it's ugly it's ugly, kind of like that.
Speaker 2:That's one of my favorite rockers.
Speaker 1:Oh, yes, that's like pre-before. So, oh, yes, cause, and that's, that's like pre, that's like pre before. Oh, that's that's so. Yeah, that that says a lot, right, but anyway. So the Ross record is cool. It just sounds like he's like roasting them, though Like he's like calling them white boys. How many got BBLs? And? And shaking his ass and got a nose job. Now, the nose job thing might be real. It might be real. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I never paid attention to Drake that hard. He's talking about like Ross is puffing out his chest, like oh yeah, you can see me in these streets, that type of shit. And he does the shit at the end. You know the shit on old records where they would talk shit at the end over the beat. I don't remember what he said, but I remember I heard it once. It's a cool record. I'll fuck with it. Yeah, we'll check it out after we're done with this. But I will say this Ross is at a point in his career where I kind of felt like he was going to respond to Drake's diss on the push-up thing. But, um, I don't know, I just feel like ross doesn't really have anything to do, music wise, like nobody's really and no offense to ross, but like nobody's really looking for ross right now, so you know.
Speaker 2:so that's another thing. I think that was interesting about the push-ups is that it wasn't focused solely on Kendrick. He called out like oh he, yeah, it was like Future Metro Boomin Kendrick Ross Weeknd. It was just a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 1:You know what's crazy. I think the Weeknd responded oh did he? I think he did people and I. You know it's crazy. I think the weekend responded oh, did he? I think, yeah, I think he did. I want to say he either responded or that was the reason why drake said something to him, because I want to say he was on the. We still don't trust you. Right, was he on? I think so, yeah, and I don't. I feel like you said did you hear? We still don't trust you. Did you remember him saying anything about? Nah, I wasn't listening, okay, anyway. So I feel like, I feel like that was either a response or that was a the shot. First, guys, and then the weekend said something, but but yeah, so, so yeah, after that, ross ross said something and honestly and truthfully, I don't see drake responding to rick ross and honestly and truthfully I don't see drake responding to rick ross yeah, yeah, he's focused on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he focused on. Yeah, I feel like kendrick. Yeah, kendrick is getting all the smoke. I mean like he might reference everybody else, but he's not going. Yeah, um, and then, and then I will say this is probably the lowest part of this whole debacle TaylorMade, taylormade. I'll give him one point for this and this is like a half of a quarter of a half of a point For it being different and it being revolutionary, because 10, 20 years from now, these rappers nowadays might be using AI to come out with diss records to other people and they'll talk about how Drake was the first one to do it.
Speaker 2:So shout out to you, drake if that's the case, no, I do respect that, because that was pretty creative.
Speaker 1:It was creative.
Speaker 2:I respect that. On a creative.
Speaker 1:Now, in my opinion, I thought it was garbage. Honestly, I thought it was garbage because I'm like, bro, like you don't, you don't know anybody in. Well, you, okay, I'll say this from my standpoint you don't know anybody from the pot, from the pocket states, like what, like why are you using his? Like you have no relations with anybody in that situation? Like why, like, that shit is weird to me, like really weird. But like now, granted, if they were to give you the, if you were to go to the state and they gave you the blessing to do that, which is I don't see them doing that like, like, like I, I and they let you do it, then go go ahead.
Speaker 1:But, like hell, even when it dropped, like the people in Tupac's camp was like bro, what the fuck? I feel like they either sued or they were going to sue, or they hit him with a cease and desist. Cease and desist. It was a cease and desist, okay, so I'm not going to lie. Like I told Tanaka off air, I heard the record on the record pool and I listened to it and I thought it was a mistake. I was like, I thought it was supposed to be Drake.
Speaker 2:You have the record.
Speaker 1:No, I literally listened to it, thought it was a mistake and went on to the next record. I haven't heard it this much. Oh, you haven't heard it. So if anybody in this live has heard the TaylorMade, let us know how you feel about it, because we didn't listen to it. I thought it was some bullshit. It was cool for creativity, but it was some bullshit in my opinion. And then we end off Yesterday. This happened yesterday.
Speaker 2:I wasn't exactly sure when this dropped, so this dropped yesterday. I saw it yesterday.
Speaker 1:Well, I saw my Instagram flood yesterday. Okay, gotcha, as of today, as of may 1st 2024, yesterday kendrick drops euphoria. So at this time I'm at go rush out of the go rush and I haven't heard. I haven't heard, um, I didn't really listen to push-ups and I didn't listen to the champagne moments, but so I was like you know what, I'm gonna take this time to listen to champagne moments and push-ups and then I'm gonna listen to euphoria just to see, just to get a grasp of, like this whole situation right. So like, as I'm doing that, like folks are like coming to dj blue trying to talk to me or whatever.
Speaker 1:So I didn't get to finish push-ups, or no, I did get to finish push-ups but I didn't get to get to euphoria. So I had to wait till afterwards to listen to euphoria and so I'm listening to it in my car. For the people that don't know my car, I have subs in my car. So when I was listening to it, it was cool and it was dope and I was like, because I heard a little bit of it, but I didn't get a full grasp of it because I had subs in my car and like that beat, that beat is nuts, by the way, shout out to whoever was the producer, that's who cardo cardo. Do you know anything else about cardo produce?
Speaker 2:forves for, like Wiz Khalifa and some other folks, His tags.
Speaker 1:I think Cardo got wings oh okay, shout out to Cardo because, bro, well, like I said, I'm a sucker for samples that fucking latest and greatest, like good Lord, like that joint was crazy, that joint was stupid. And then I listened to it a second time with, uh, dj tanaka and I was like whoa, like the second time hit worse, like because I was actually able to hear like everything he said. Right, and tanaka's just sitting there panicking like holy, like he's just sitting there laughing the whole time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just, I just didn't know what to expect, man. So it's just like dang.
Speaker 1:It just kept going like it was like shot after shot after shot and that's the part I remember when I was in the car and he said I didn't even bleed him yet. Should I bleed him? Yeah, that's when I was like, I turned to knock, was like oh, I was like yeah yeah, I was like holy shit I was like yeah.
Speaker 1:I was like, damn Kendrick, I know you're not listening to this, but, bro, if you can make a limited edition, we don't want to hear you say nigga, no more shirt. I will buy one, please. I will buy one, just for the same competition. Yes, bro, that was amazing. So okay, let me ask you this Out of all the discs that we've come up with, that you've heard what would you say is the best?
Speaker 2:My favorite is definitely euphoria, but I say that it's tough to judge it because, just because, um, for drake's joint, he had to address a lot of people. You know what I mean. So I know that he wasn't solely focused on kendrick.
Speaker 1:I know kendrick's joint is solely focused on drake well, in a sense it's kind of not solely focused on dra, like he's going at like Drake and Drake's associates, right right well, I mean, yeah, I would say rapper wise though.
Speaker 2:okay, yes, so that's the reason why, like you know, obviously, kendrick, you know that John was fine and all that, mm-hmm, but I'm interested to hear Drake just solely focus on Kendrick right, you know, you know, and just hear how that's going to be, because that's going to really, you know, I feel like then it's going to really start to.
Speaker 1:By the way, I don't know if we've ever talked about this, but back in, nothing was the same. When did nothing was the same come out? 2013. The language. Did you know? That was about Kendrick I didn't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn the language.
Speaker 1:Did you know that was about kindred? I didn't, yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:So I just, I don't know, I, I don't know, I don't know why that popped in my head.
Speaker 1:I have to go back now and do do some, you know yeah, research, a couple of those shots were at kindred, so that's interesting to think about. But, um, so we finally make it to the question of the day. So here's my question of the day and the question of the day. So here's my question of the day and the question of the day is probably going to be short, but I just felt like we had to talk about this whole body of work.
Speaker 2:Absolutely Got to get the timeline man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I'm not going to lie, I'm a fan of diss records Me personally, I'm a fan of diss records and I want to give a shout out to Drake and Kendrick, absolutely, and I want to give a shout out to Drake and Kendrick. I want to give a shout out to Drake because and I want to circle back on that thing you were going to talk about but I was like we're going to talk about it later Right, drake didn't have to respond to Kendrick. Right, he could have just he could have just Kendrick could have just said what he said, and that would have been it. Right, kendrick would have just been right back in his hole and we would have not heard from him until Pimple Butterfly 2. But whatever his next project is and that just wouldn't have been that but what probably happened?
Speaker 1:Look, I don't know Drake, so I can't really say what happened, but what probably happened was he had that thing he does, and I don't know if he still does it or not. This is just hypothetical. He did the 72 hour thing where he was like I'm going to wait 72 hours and if it's still bugging me after the 72 hours, I'm going to address it. If not, move on to something else. Probably did that, still bugging him, and he was like all right, let's go in the booth, all them folks were still talking about it.
Speaker 1:Right, so yeah. So shout out to Drake, shout out to Kendrick, shout out to Cole, because even if Cole did apologize like the fact that we're getting all this music, all this heat Right and they might delete all this Right, I'm not going to delete it, right? Like I said, I'm old school, I download, so once I have it, I have it. I'm still listening to back to back to this day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like so, but that's me but um no, I respect all artists, though that's involved like right because that's another thing folks be. I know folks as fans and stuff like that. For most I I feel like I speak me in turn of like we fans of all all artists involved.
Speaker 1:They've all made great music you know what I mean so we're forever grateful for that I'm I'm very grateful the fact that we're getting all this entertainment. I appreciate it and I like, and like I said, I never wanted to get to a point where, like I don't know, ovo, ovo's camp ands camp meets at the wards and starts fighting each other. I never wanted to get to that point. That's crazy. But, yeah, shout out to all this music we're getting. But my question of the day will be do you feel like these diss records are helping or hindering these careers of these?
Speaker 2:said artists. That's crazy that you asked that. Um, so another thing that I look at, as far as like battles and stuff, I kind of relate it to boxing because in boxing oftentimes there will be like, like you know how Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were like the two top boxers for a minute and Floyd was undefeated and he was fighting folks and then he finally went against Manny and I just remember a lot of people were like this fight should have happened a few years ago, right? So I wonder about that question, you know, is that?
Speaker 1:Is it too?
Speaker 2:late. Yeah, this Kendrick-Drake battle. Do you feel like it should have happened like a few years ago? If it was going to happen, because there's some people that are saying that they're like no, I would have cared about this if this happened earlier exactly um, I mean no, I mean I don't think so.
Speaker 1:Okay, I don't think so. And do you? Do you feel like that and do you feel like that's like hindering, like?
Speaker 2:I don't think it's. I don't so me personally. I don't see it like that. I don't think it's hindering, um, I enjoy it. I feel like they still have it. You know what I mean, because you know, oftentimes we say that when people are kind of past their prime.
Speaker 2:So, like you know what I mean. But I still feel like Kendrick. You know, I feel like Kendrick still got it Like. I know a lot of people say that Mr Morrell or whatever it wasn't you know, but for me that album resonated a lot. You know what I mean. But and then I know that a lot of people be saying that you know, drake hasn't necessarily been you know what I'm saying dropping like real heat, like that or what have you. But I feel like, if you listen close enough, drake still be having, you know he'll still be catching little pockets of you know what I'm saying, right? So so I still feel like they have the talent still intact to where that this can be. You know what I'm saying? A good battle, right? So for that reason, I don't think it's hindering anybody. Honestly, I feel like Kendrick is kind of rejuvenized. You know, like it's almost like he's been waiting for this.
Speaker 1:I will say this Drake, whether if it's good or bad, has a magic touch. Yeah, he has the magic touch. Like it's crazy how he's able to do that. And I will always go back to this example Nobody gave a fuck about Lil Durk until Laugh Now, cry Later. I will never understand how the fuck Lil Durk went from this ain't what you want to Laugh Now, cry Later. All that body of work in between. I know my Beyonce Right. Maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong, but I will say that about Drake. Drake's one of my favorite rappers so is Kendrick. Drake has that magic touch, man. That's the only thing I feel like Kendrick would come up from under his rock for.
Speaker 2:It's Drake. I say all that to say that drake's obviously had his battles, but this is what the people want. You know I'm saying that like, yeah, push, like, don't get me wrong, push is like. I respect, push, put. I'm a fan of pushing and T you know what I'm saying all of that. But in the same breath, drake can write that off just off of, like your fan base isn't as big as mine, your hits.
Speaker 2:You're not on the charts like I am. You know what I mean. But now we have an opponent in which it can match up to that.
Speaker 1:Look, I'm going to just say this. Opponent in which they can match up.
Speaker 1:Look, I'm gonna say this I'm glad you brought that up, yeah. So, um, with that situation with pusha T, I feel like it was a lose-lose for Drake because, like, let's be honest, no one's looking for pusha T, right, and pusha T has all the time in the world that the biggest artist in the world has stopped what he's doing to come and punch down on me, you giving me attention, say less, I'm going to use this platform. Here's the thing about that platform it didn't really it really Shout out to Tonic because he brought up this point. That situation really didn't do anything for for push a t, yeah, and which is sad, because if it wasn't for push a t, we still wouldn't have known that drake had a kid right it was more like it, like I kind of see it this way like people were like, yeah, yeah, push t, push t, whatever.
Speaker 1:Right, you have a kid right. Like, yeah, yeah, push t, push t, whatever. Right, you have a kid right. No, that's, and like that, that's what it was like, like. I don't even remember anything else from that record, except that I guess he did blackface. I guess he did blackface. I don't even know if he actually talked about it, but I remember that was a cover art and he said that he was hiding a kid from us and it was kind of like everybody was just like yeah, whatever, wait, drake, you have a kid you never tell us about. Like it was like one of those. So so let me ask you this do you feel like, do you feel like some of these hip hop records, any of these diss records, could backfire on the artist that made the song?
Speaker 2:um, I mean there's always a possibility, but Nah, I mean I don't. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I mean I don't see it happening, but I just find that interesting and honestly and truthfully, off the top of my head, I don't remember that ever happening, ever again.
Speaker 2:I mean it probably has, but because I just feel like both their platforms is, like you know, matched up and these are the two, like the real two top of the rap game right now. I feel like for our generation you know this, this uh period of the 2010s, it's like that's always been the debate. Right, you're either a Drake fan or a Kendrick fan. Why is Drake more popular? He has more hits on the billboard. But the real one, sam Foles, would be like Kendrick dropping that real. You know what I mean. It may not be recognized by the masses necessarily, so it's like, like, and they're both. They're both talented with the pen. They'd be going crazy.
Speaker 2:So it's like you can't be mad at either. Right, you know what I'm saying. Obviously you can have an opinion of who you think will rap better, right, you know which? I've always stood on with dj 20, you dig. I've always said like if it was coming down just bar for bar, rap for rap, I'm choosing Kendrick over Drake, right, you know?
Speaker 1:what.
Speaker 2:I'm saying that's me personally, you know, and he would always come with this and that and the money.
Speaker 1:and I said look, look, look, look, look, look money, I'm not talking about?
Speaker 2:I'm talking about just these bars, man one time for reese checking in so you know it's like. I'm like, look, it's about them bars you know what I'm saying I don't care about the, the gimmicks, the this and that I got more money than you.
Speaker 1:Look more charts. Let's take it to the essence and what's hip-hop on.
Speaker 2:you know what? What I'm saying about them bars Like let's see y'all come with it.
Speaker 1:Ooh, you got time bro.
Speaker 2:You too busy making overseas money bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but um yeah, man, man, we're getting a lot of good music and I hope it keeps going. I hope it keeps going.
Speaker 2:I hope this leads.
Speaker 1:I hope this is just all a conspiracy theory and we just we have the big three album or some shit like that, right, that'd be crazy, that'd be crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I hope that's what happens. That'd be dope. And I do feel like, cause, that's another thing, man, the people, okay, the people that are saying that, kendrick, like the battle was over and all that. I don't agree with that. I don't agree with that, right, because people, you know, they hear the Kendrick, oh it's over, drake destroyed. Yeah, I'm not with that. You know what I'm saying. I say, look, he's just cooking up. You know, the temperature got a little hotter.
Speaker 1:So let me actually I'm glad you said that. So did you see, did you? Well, you know my story, but did you see I?
Speaker 2:think I seen somebody had posted that yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so he posted, he posted, um, he posted on his story. Apparently it was a clip from a old I don't know one of those 90210 movies of a girl like reading on the joints. She's like I hate how you talk, I hate how you move, I hate how you. And then it was like an emoji with the heartbreak and the winky eye yeah for drake. And then apparently I just saw this I don't know how true this is, but apparently he was on tour with nikki and he was like. He was like all right, I'll see y'all later, y'all know what I gotta do, or something like that. He said something crazy like that, but I didn't see. Yeah. So yeah, I just seen this, like right before we started airing.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, so that's that's my thing is that I don't think it's over by any means. Drake uh, kendrick obviously dropped a very good disc. I'm looking, you know, looking at drake now and, um, yeah, I just you know, because that's the crazy thing, is that that kendrick, this I don't even feel like was, I don't even feel like that was full gear. So you want to know?
Speaker 1:something crazy that you bring that up. I just love how you bring up. Was full gear, kendrick. So you want to know something crazy that you bring that up. I just love how you bring shit up. Apparently and I don't know how true this is it's all rumor in any window, but apparently euphora was supposed to be 19 minutes.
Speaker 1:Oh really, yeah, that might be that full gear so apparently kendrick didn't want to go 300 bars on I feel like, I feel like he wasn't even, yeah, yeah so yeah, man, we're getting a lot of good music nowadays, so, um so, speaking of good music, we're gonna move on to guess. The bars we're getting to some get to some hip-hop. See what we got.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, for the people that don't know what Guess the Bars is, we send each other some bars and I read off what the bars are and we read it off and we rate it on the F scale, which is Fire, ferocious, frisbee and Fecal, from 5 to 1. See, if we can figure it out, and if we know the song, then we will go from there. I almost thought I had to re-up. I almost thought I got to re-up. If we know the song, then we will go from there. I was like I had to re-up. I was like I got to re-up. Oh damn, I forgot to put the whole thing going out. Oh well, it'll be all right. All right, all right. So I'll start it off, since I already got it up.
Speaker 1:Oh, all right, all right Is After 12 Club like a hive, bee, a beehive, because now everybody buzzing around me Could it be the way that the verse is sounding came up on the ghetto boys and the underground kings. Toys I had, I had a bodega, a bro, a what I had, a bro.
Speaker 2:A Brogum? Yeah, I don't know that one.

I had I had dug into like just some of the singles that Eazy had, but not really like little EPs and albums.

Speaker 1:No, you're wrong, it's actually Sexy Red. This is Rich Baby Daddy. It's literally her whole.
Speaker 2:Look man, I I don't know?
Speaker 1:no, it's not. No, it's not. I think it's like a little bit more before that sexy red. So do you know? Uh, uh, rich baby daddy?

Speaker 1:Shout out to Drake, though he be knowing his talent, he be knowing talent. He knows talent when he sees it, he do, he do.
Speaker 1:All right, let's see. Yeah, life is balanced. You lose your grip, you can slip into an abyss. No doubt you see these niggas tripping Ego in charge of my move. He's a star and we can't look away. Due to the days that we caught our hearts. He's falling apart, but we deny it, justifying that half-ass shit he dropped. We always buy it when. When he tells us he's a genius, it's clear. But it's clearer lately. It's hard for him to look into the mirror lately. There was a time when this nigga was my hero. Maybe there was a time when this nigga was my hero. Maybe that's the hero. Oh, that's the reason why his fall from grace is hard to take Cause. I believed him when he said his shit was purer than he. The type of niggas swears he's real but all around him is fake.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this, this, this rhyme scheme is something bonkers. It's a diss record. I'm going to say Drake 50. Pusha, I'm dropping in the 50, I guess I don't know. I'm going to say Flat Frisbee, because some of these rhymes is kind of wicked. Yeah, I don't know, it's not. No, shout out to ross. Ross is on his snoop dog tip. He's just out here doing shit, but anyway. So yeah, I don't, I don't know. I'm gonna say push-ups by drake.
Speaker 2:This is, uh, j cole. This is the seven-Minute Drill. False Prophets oh, this was a record from Born Sinner. No, this was one of those loose singles. Oh, okay, and basically it spoke on just kind of his heroes and how they fell off Right, and I presume that Kanye, I think, was one of the people that he was referring to. Fitting Orange peel your love is real Loving skills I need some loving skills. Left my dirty drawers and you love me still. Eyes come lazy, yeah, but she is real dressed to kill. Orange peel your love is real loving skills I need some loving skills. Left my dirty drawers and you love me still. Eyes come lazy, yeah, but she is real Dressed to kill. Interesting, it's going to get a flat, I mean. I guess that is real love Leaving your dirty drawers and she's still got love for you. You know, I just never heard somebody say orange peel to refer to her.
Speaker 1:Any guesses, young Drew, I'll give you a half of a half over point just because you say young, but no, that was Young Thug that was off of Go Crazy, go Crazy. Point. Just because you say young, but no, that was young thug that was awful.
Speaker 2:Go crazy, go crazy go crazy, shout out, dj 20. Um, oh, that boy dirty dan popped in there dirty dan. Dirty dan skate town. Dirty dan skate town with you. Apparently they asked them to do a Thursday. What's Thursday? Skate town.
Speaker 1:Thursday oh, I'm tripping, that's definitely oh the college night. So do they not call it college night, no more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know. I'm glad they finally changed that name. All they do is just go Go in town. Basically, that's it bro.
Speaker 1:The Flyers be so like Right Slow set, two slow sets Right. I'm like you, bro, the fact that they put their whole format on.
Speaker 2:Bravo, bravo, young Thug go crazy. Yeah, the radio killed it, yeah.
Speaker 1:I just thought it was weird that they came out with this sample right after the Layton Green record record. It was just, it was like why we have so many can't leave them alone samples. But yeah, man, that was guess the bars. Um, we're gonna move on to the hall of fame's. The hall of fame next? Yes, all right, the hall of fame, trying to remember what you picked. Oh yeah, so tanaka had loyalty and I had the surprise motherfucking meme, and the winner is the surprise motherfucking me. So, tanaka, if you would like to, sir, you can go ahead and start it off.
Speaker 2:Let's see, I'm going to nominate. I'm going to nominate, let me not do that.
Speaker 1:Let me not do that. Why not bro?
Speaker 2:I got to hold off on that one, one that'll probably be for the next episode. Okay, gotcha um trying to think I'm going to nominate. I'm going to nominate Duse the drink why?
Speaker 1:are we nominating Duse sir?
Speaker 2:Duse is one of my favorite, I would say.
Speaker 1:Drinks to get nice to.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and there may be a bottle at um, nice and slow, there may or may not, if, if I still, you know, if I'm not broke by then you know, lord willing, um, but yeah, uh see, I was gonna nominate the drip special, quote-unquote crown royal, I don't know whatever at. Uh, apparently there's some drink that maya the bartender made for him.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh I thought you're trying to be funny. I thought you you were talking about Crown Royals, because nobody ever gets it.
Speaker 2:No, so yeah, I haven't. Oh yeah, when we find the name of that, you do that. I pulled up to Cascade yesterday. I thought Maya was going to be the bartender, but she was not Excuse me, so I wasn't able to get the drip special and try it out so do they actually call that the drip special?
Speaker 2:well, according to him, he told her so um, so anyway, I'm intrigued because you know, drip wasn't really a drinker before and now he's starting to dabble in it, right, because when Turn Up called me and was like oh yeah, drip's drunk, I kind of didn't really like. I thought he was just kind of saying that, like he maybe had a little you know a drink or something in him. But, boy, when I talked to him he was drunk.
Speaker 1:He was on his rockers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely, duse is my nomination.
Speaker 1:So when was the first time you ever had some Duse?
Speaker 2:I want to say New Year's Eve, when Drip DJed New Year's Eve at AA. Oh, so that's still fairly new. Yeah, and that was my first time drinking and skating At the same damn time, and I was pretty lit to the point that I drove home and fell asleep in the parking lot in my car. Successful night, that sounds like.
Speaker 1:Successful night Successful night. Well, big Meech, if you were here for the whole episode, you would know that Demetrius' question was hey, turn up. How did that freaknik go?
Speaker 2:Late to the party.
Speaker 1:Late to the party Terrible. I guess you got to the party Terrible. Guess you gotta wait till the episode drops what you call it.
Speaker 1:That's cool to say. I'm gonna do this. My nomination for the TNT Podcast Hall of fame is uh is soldier boys gun story. So what's interesting about this story is that, like he, the fact that I actually remember when this happened. I remember when this happened and apparently the people that ran His house was apparently the niggas that Made whoop Rico and um. What's interesting about that Is apparently he I don't know. Apparently he stole Some money from them, so I don't know some crazy like that. But um, or they Felt like he stole money from them and they were trying to run his house and try to either either kill him or rob him or whatever, and the soldier boy wasn't going for it. Soldier boy was not going for it. They thought he was just this kid rapper that was just going, that was going on everything. And they found out. But um was funny about. Well, not funny.
Speaker 1:But what's interesting about this situation is he actually came out with a song right after the situation happened and the song is actually dope. That was one of the first songs. I was like, wow, soulja Boy can actually rap and tell stories. This joint is actually not bad. This shit is actually pretty hard. So if you ever want to hear the real song, it's called go to war by soldier boy. But of course, as we all like to do in the modern, the modern social media day, he told a story. He told the story on another podcast and he was talking about, and I can't know, my two gun and then they turned into a TikTok meme and everybody was like fabricating the whole thing I pulled out with my grenade, planes was going through and I jumped out the plane like James Bond, like everybody, just make fun of it. But but I mean it was fun as long as Soulja Boy found some, long as Soulja Boy found some entertainment with it and he made some money off of it, I guess.
Speaker 2:So then he was smoking a blunt too, wasn't he smoking just like? So yeah, that came in through the door.
Speaker 1:I don't even remember, because I just remember seeing the, the trend. I didn't, I didn't actually see the, I didn't actually see the interview, but um, yeah, man, that's my, uh, that's my tnt podcast uh, hall of fame.
Speaker 2:Yeah, shout out to naya. Um, from gurnett she. Um, we have this like little joke or whatever. I ain't gonna lie bro, which Naya?
Speaker 1:We know a lot of Naya.
Speaker 2:She's tall, skinny, paris 2.0, as you refer to her. Ah, got you. We had this joke because she always comes with these little names or these sayings for the alcohol. So for do say, she's like do, say, do whatever you say, and so, anyway, it's just hilarious, so shout out to Naya for all these sayings with the alcohols and stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, shout out to Naya for the cheese. But yeah, so we're going to naya for the cheese, but, um, yeah, so we're gonna put that on the instagram page. Y'all gonna vote and we'll go from there. What we have next, the song of the day? Yeah, song of the day. So this one is gonna be a little wordy because, um, it's actually interesting that we've had this conversation about these disc records and all that because one of them is one of the people that had the disc record. So my song of the day is by j Cole, and this is probably my favorite song by J Cole called Cold Summer Tanaka. Have you ever heard this song called Cold Summer?
Speaker 2:I feel like I have, but I would have to re-hear it. I can't hear it in my head at the moment.
Speaker 1:So this song came out in 2013, and it was off the Truly Yours album. Truly Yours 2 album. This was around the time where J Cole was trying to come out with Born Sinner, but I guess at the point management was telling him none of this is worthy of coming out with, like coming out on an album. And I don't know. Tanaka, let me ask you this Did you feel like after the first album, he was going to end up just being a mixtape rapper?
Speaker 2:JCole, yeah no.
Speaker 1:Oh, you knew no.
Speaker 2:I had faith in Cole After the you said after the first album, yeah, after the first album, no, I, yeah, I felt like Cole was still gonna push through. I had faith in him and that's just cause my homie was such a big Cole fan and, yeah, hearing the mix say work, I was, like you know, the first one. I was like you know, a little commercial or whatever.
Speaker 1:I felt like he was going, he was gonna pull through so at this time he just kept coming out with music like, or he kept recording music and the management just kept shutting him down and telling him like this isn't, this isn't like like album-worthy, like, keep going to the lab. So, like I said, this is around the time he was going to drop Born Sinner and I'll just give you a backstory on the Truly Yours, both of them. So Truly Yours was released in anticipation of his album. Born Sinner was released in anticipation of his album Born Sinner and it contains tracks that basically, like I said, the management didn't see fit was going to be on Born Sinner. He released his EP with a message on his website and this is the message, quote, and I quote I appreciate you guys giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment and find direction for my second album, and I have, along the way, I've recorded at least four albums worth of material, lots of being unfinished, demos, versions waiting to be polished up. Some of them are great songs and important songs and, oh my bad, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won't make the album. Um, either they don't fit sonically, don't fit the theme, or they're just not enough space.
Speaker 1:Tonight I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It's hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you so for so long, so I know it's been hard for y'all to wait. Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in the raw form. No polish, just a lot of soul. The wait is over. Truly yours born center ps. The first single's coming this week. The album is, hands down, my best work yet. Can't wait to share. And yeah, so, truly, truly yours came out and he gave. He gave us this. But two months later he dropped truly yours too, which is what cole summer is on. So he dropped a tweet and he was like fuck it. Truly ours too, tomorrow. You deserve it, that simple. So, um, truly Yours Too, tomorrow. You Deserve it, that simple. So this song is interesting to me because I've actually never heard Truly Yours Too.
Speaker 1:But I can see why he made this track number one, because it sets the. I feel like it sets the mold and, like he said in his letter on his website is, a lot of these songs are just story based and it's like. What I love about this song is that it's like. It's kind of just like a pov in his life at the moment. And, um, it's crazy that we are talking about um me being a sucker for samples. I am a huge sucker for this sample and the way he played, the way he played on the sample on the chorus. So the chorus is, I mean, the sample is Nothing, even Matters by Lauryn Hill and according to Wikipedia, it has it has a play the.
Speaker 1:The song is kind of like. It's kind of like it takes a little bit of traits of juicy from notorious big where he's like basically telling a story about, like, his life and you know what he has going on at the moment and where he's come from and all that type of shit. And and I just love how real he is in the song because he says, mama, if this, um, mama, we finally made it out that, finally made it out the hood, but just hold your horses, because if this next one flops, we got to go back to the post office and shit like that. And then talking about how him and drake are in the club where drake is throwing, throwing, uh, throwing like 50 000 but he's only throwing four, and how the girl's like this is my favorite, this is like one of my favorite parts of the song where he's like the girl's, like that's just like.
Speaker 1:Ain't you a rapper, nigga? Ain't you supposed to tip more? I don't see no pussy, baby. Ain't you supposed to strip more? Like it's just little shit, like that, that's like love, it's like top tier j cole, this is love. Love j cole. This is j cole. I love um. Obviously this is under um rock nation and, like I said, this is my hip-hop early days. This is how I heard the song was off hip-hop early. And shout out to um, shout out to cole, man, he's. He actually produced the beat too. So, yeah, shout out to cole. Oh, shout out to, uh, mario, checking in the juggernaut, mario the juggernaut checking in.
Speaker 1:All right, shout out to you, but yeah um like I said, it's a very organic, very, very organic. I'm gonna let you listen to it after we listen to champagne, um, and so obviously it's a mixtape, so it didn't chart anywhere. But here's some critic, critical, uh, receptions from what they felt about it.
Speaker 1:Um, this short set indicates he's taking steps in the right direction and his next full length effort will hopefully appease his, his old and newer fans, both casual fans and cold stands alike, can pack, package these six songs with the first truly yours, and have something that completes with a lot, of, a lot of completes with a lot of albums in the marketplace. So basically, what they're saying is Truly Yours 2 is just a dope record and when you put it together with Truly Yours 1, it comes off as a full album, like he was saying. But you know, yeah, yeah, and that's about it. Like I said, man, if you're, if you're into, if you're into cole, where he's like just vulnerable and spilling his soul, what he has going on at the moment, I definitely recommend you listen to cole summer and actually a little, a little, um, behind the scenes we're not behind the scenes a secret. I'll get to y'all the instrumental that I use for Turnip's Confessions Cold.
Speaker 2:Summer. I like that, and if you haven't seen it already, go ahead and check that out. Turnip Confessions number three Just drop.
Speaker 1:Right, and if you haven't seen one or two, go check that out first, so it'll all line up. But yeah, so Turnip going to my album today.
Speaker 2:I think I already did, but I have to do it just because I'm going to philly. For this reason, I am headed out to philly this friday to go see the 20th anniversary of the young guns tough love album.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think you did do this one. I think it's on the uh, I think it's actually on the.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think I definitely did it, but we're going to run it back. We're going to run it back because this album is to be celebrated for 20 years and Young Guns were one of my favorite rap groups growing up and I wasn't I wasn't sure I'd ever get to see them live in concert. This was kind of a situation where I was like you know what I'm not going to lie this is not the best time for me to be taking the trip, but at the same time, I feel like this is the only time in my life I'll be able to check out the young guns concert. So you know what turn up? We're just gonna do this right because you know right, look bro, it's this. I feel like it's a once in a lifetime thing. They're not gonna come to the a yeah, that's not. Um. And I don't know if there's going to be a 20th anniversary for their second album, because it was not as successful. So here we are young guns, tough love rap duo.
Speaker 2:Young chris, young neef, neef buck out of philly nice town. When you Hockey, this was their debut album they had dropped Can't Stop, won't Stop. That was off the State Property 2 soundtrack. That joint was burning up in the streets, in the clubs, in rotation on radio Baxley, jay-z and Dame, it was like, look, it's heating up. We got to drop an album, you know what I'm saying. So by the time that the album dropped, had the remix on there with chingy solid remix, you know, at the time chingy was red hot.
Speaker 1:This is fresh from right there, right um, I think, I think I remember that uh, can't stop, can't stop, ch Get down, baby, get down, there's a girl that loves us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't remember that. Yeah, so, but yeah, of course they had their biggest hit, which is no Better Love, with Rel singing on the hook and sampled the Luther Vandross song and Apparently, young Chris to this day Performed that song at weddings, with Rel singing on the hook and sampled the Luther Vandross song and apparently young Chris to this day performs that song at weddings. He gets booked to do that. Oh wow, friday Night that was produced by Jez Blaze. I need to start playing that song.
Speaker 1:I have that song and I don't play it. I forget about that song.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying dope, dope songs, and that's what I enjoyed about the Young Guns is that, yeah, they could do that gangster talk and stuff, but they was, as Beanie Siegel kind of announced it, they were kind the um, the heartthrobs of state property just because they were the youngest, but they could also, you know, wrap their ass up and so um, so what was dope about them is they really kind of had like a, you know, a young college kid but still attached to the streets vibe, you know what I mean. Um, but yeah, so they got a collab with beanie called rock. You, that's more as a street joint. Never take me alive with jay-z, that was, uh, I later found out a? Um, kind of a leftover from the blueprint 2 um album.
Speaker 2:So they're like shoot, it's cool, we put it on ours, that's what led to that North of Death and Tough Love are kind of like the real and life we chose. Tough Love, my bad. Tough Love. North of Death, time and Life we chose. Those are kind of the records that are real. You know, talking about family and all that Tough Love deals with.
Speaker 2:Basically Neef was like I'm not making no money off this music, so I'm just going to be in the street. So Chris was the one that was in the studio and it's basically him putting it on wax, just addressing Neef, like you're the one that got me into rapping. You know what I'm saying. And now you back in the street, like Neef, you got to hold it down. You know what I'm saying. We got to hold the rock down. You got to be. And then that's when Neef comes in the last verse and it's like my bad gunner, like you know, it's never like that. You feel me, I've been slacking. You know I've been in the street too much. Like I gotta get back on it. Let's show these, you know, show the world what we do. That should have been single. Yeah, like that, that joint is dope, like that's classic gunner, you know to this day. And um, so yeah, that that joint is just. It kind of reminds me of like d12, like how come?
Speaker 2:You know, like you know where. They just talking it out on wax Right North of Death. That's when that's really young Chris, kind of addressing all the you know folks that he done lost to the streets. A real personal record. One time Faye Smooth I was checking Shout out to Smooth and then Take it how you Want it with Emilio Sparks, that's a record that really just gives me a classic Rockefeller sound.
Speaker 1:Like State Property.
Speaker 2:Rockefeller. That's one of those street bangers that I feel like was essential to how their sound was at the time. Then, of course, they had a collaboration with then label mate, joel Santana. That was when Dipset had joined Rockefeller. So yeah, they got a record called Rich Girls.
Speaker 1:Oh, is that what that's saying it?
Speaker 2:has a Holland Oates sample, which is really interesting. That's very interesting. But yeah, man, really it's kind of like the classic Young Guns album. There's maybe a few records that I wasn't necessarily the biggest fan of, but for for the most part it was a very solid project and so, yeah, I'm gonna go see it live friday. Shout out to the young guns all right.
Speaker 1:So we're gonna move on to this last one, which is DJ Talk, and I don't know, depending on how much information we have, this is probably going to be brief. But, tanaka, I got a question for you. What do we? Got man In whatever kind of event you could think of. It doesn't even matter, just let me know. Would you rather be the opening dj or the closing dj? You can give me whatever kind of event you can think of.
Speaker 2:That's so fun um, I guess closing because I feel like I I like to end things off on r&b, you know slow jam type of deal Opening is very difficult. Actually A lot of people don't know Opening DJs like there's a big art to that. Whatever, yeah.
Speaker 2:Because with opening, you don't know what you're getting. So you really have to read the crowd and you have to keep a vibe, not necessarily knowing what vibe to keep, you know, because that joint could fluctuate and so, and then it's like you have to save the hitters for later. You're really creating a vibe with records that people don't know as well you know. So that that's a talent in itself and I commend our opening djs that you know, refrain from dropping, you know the bangers and stuff like that. You know, because, I'm not gonna lie, there's a, there's a little bit of a dj integrity in that and that a lot of people will be opening DJ and they'll just say F like the main DJ and just drop fingers, you know, and so it's like I feel like it's an unspoken rule though that, like as an opening DJ, you kind of hold off on dropping that.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's a spoken rule. I feel like folks know, but they just say fuck it, just say fuck them. There's definitely a heart with that. I'm trying to think I don't want to just say it, I don't care, but, um, I don't know when it comes to opening DJing. When it comes to opening DJing, well fuck it. Just because you said closing, I'll say opening because I know with especially with like clubs, I feel like I'm comfortable enough with my opening set folder that I'll be able to do that without playing any bangers um in a previous episode I talk about, uh, my bs folder, which could either stand for beginning songs of bullshit, but either way it's the same, it's the same shit.
Speaker 1:But um, yeah, man, um, yeah, sea fillers. That's, that's all, that's all. They really are songs that are songs that are too old to really get lit to at the end, but like songs that are too new that anybody would ever know, right. So, and anywhere in between. So, yeah, it just, it just depends um, but I will say that I don't have an issue with opening because, like I said, I have comfortability in my folders.
Speaker 2:Honestly, I feel like that's like a real test. You know that tests your catalog.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because, of course, a lot of folks can have what's hot at the moment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, but it takes a real seasoned dj to have like a you know proper and the thing about that is like you'll have situations where you go into somewhere and it's you would think that it's that vibe, like you said, and it's a whole nother vibe. But that's what's the difficulty of DJing for smaller crowds Because, like I said, you think it's a different vibe, but then once they come in and you give them that vibe that you think they want, and they want something totally different. I remember when I first started DJing I did a house party and it was first starting off. I was playing the shit that I thought they wanted and then a girl came up to me and asked hey, can you play Nicki Minaj's Super Bass?
Speaker 1:And I was like what? So like it just depends, it just depends. But yeah, opening and closing DJs is definitely, like you said, definitely an art to it. Yeah, much respect. Shout out to all my opening DJs that don't step on the closing DJ's toes and shout out to the closing DJs that don't act big-headed towards the opening DJs. So yeah, so we're going to get into our schedules, ladies and gentlemen. So, for the people that don't know, my schedule is on my Instagram. I just posted my new May schedule, so you want to know where I'm at. It's on there early for you. So, tanaka, the floor is yours, sir.
