Speaker 3:Tnc hall of fame um.
Speaker 1:So also to make it a little bit more specific, it doesn't necessarily have to be a person. It could be a moment, it could be an album, it could be a but it has to do yeah, it could be a fashion statement, but pertain pertaining to us, it's probably going to be just something pertaining to hip-hop or r&b, yeah, so I guess when ti dropped what you know, when ti dropped what you know, so why are you picking that?
Speaker 3:I just felt like that was like just a moment. You know I'm saying in hip-hop. That was just he had been through so much prior to that and to lead up to that moment and drop that record, I just thought it was like it was first of all out of here you know what I'm saying as a record, but then I was also felt like that kind of was like the stamp, like like you really stopped, like like superstar level.
Speaker 3:You know I'm saying like not just not just a great rapper that came out with all these hits, but you've been like for real, like history type on it like. That was like to me. That was the moment that it was real. You know what I'm saying, cause, when did he drop? What you know, what's that? 2005. I said I know it was 2005.
Speaker 1:I knew it was 2005. Okay, do you remember around what time we talking?
Speaker 3:if I already guess, I would say later in the year but I don't know, for sure you know I'm saying put that in my google machine.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I don't know like it hit. It hit for me, but I don't know. I feel like what you know should have hit harder for me because, like I wasn't, like I wasn't, like uh, oh, this is this, isn't the drill. He dropped what you know, like I was just just that was just I mean it wasn't mad.
Speaker 1:no, it definitely wasn't mad it was just like, okay, well, he dropped it and it's a really big song, Right, and that's the anthem for ATL, right, but I don't know, it just wasn't. I don't know, I don't know, it just didn't really hit as hard for me.
Speaker 3:I feel like in the public's eye. You know what I'm saying. Oh, definitely public side you know, I know for us music lovers, we you know there's specific moments of wow, okay, so it was a six, it was all six january 28th.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's interesting. What was that?
Speaker 3:because I remember the first that was sex master seven, three, okay well, I'm sorry what the first single they dropped off was wasn't in front back would uh that was. That was the first single. I think it was like a street single. You know how they used to have the street single to kind of warm the street.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, well, yeah, I knew that as me growing up, but I'm not gonna lie back then.
Speaker 3:A single was a single to me yeah I don't think I I don't think I really heard street singles when I had in 2005 so I do remember they had released front back, because I think that was the first feature that pimp c did when he got when he got out of prison and so that's I want to say.
Speaker 1:It was no, I want to say. His first one was get the road oh, it might have been.
Speaker 3:I can't remember well because I remember and get the road he he had.
Speaker 1:They had the welcome back pimp c party in the video that makes sense maybe.
Speaker 3:Maybe you think it was the first feature for like, I guess not, that's not bumby.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, I guess. So yeah, because I guess that would just be a uh ugk song, yeah I'm gonna nominate.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna nominate kendrick lamar's Control verse. Yeah, that was, that was a moment. That was a moment. That was a moment. It was just one of those Cause. That was what that was supposed to be on Big Sean's Hall of Fame album, right?
Speaker 2:I thought it was.
Speaker 3:Well, it ended up being an unreleased record was it really yeah like they didn't officially, like you know, release it, but of course, the whole world still heard it. No, I mean um, but I just feel that that hall of fame that was. I want to say what 2013, 2012 like 2012 2013 okay yeah, I just yeah, it was definitely around that time because that was, that was after good kid, mad city right definitely okay, all right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just felt, um, as far as kendrick's growth as an artist, uh, you know, we always knew that. You know he, you know he started off. I mean, people could have seen him, as you know, kind of weird or different, you know, with the different, you know voices that he would rap in. But you also saw, like, his technical skills you know, that was.
Speaker 3:That was clearly evident just from the like double xl freestyles and stuff like that. Um, you know, good kid mad city, of course, you know incredible album, incredible project, um, but I felt that he needed I don't want to say the album was commercial yes, I don't.
Speaker 1:Yes, it was okay, why? So here's the thing about good kid mad city. He needed something that wasn't too left field, where it was like, because this is, this is his first one right, so like he didn't need something too left field where it was like because this is his first one.
Speaker 1:He didn't need something too left field where it was too much of him. But he also didn't need anything that was too commercial, because all his fans would turn his back on him because that wasn't him at all. So he had to mesh some of that in there. So once that was a complete success, that's when he was able to go complete left with To Pimp a Butterfly, right Okay. But you know he needed Good Kid Mad City for To Pimp a Butterfly.
Speaker 3:To further go into his artistry. Yes, yeah, because, yeah, that's the thing about it is. I still feel it was a great project, but I do feel what you're saying is that there's like that yeah, poetic justice and all that shit. Yeah, like you know that hints of just commercial, you know commercial he, but he needed it though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know like I mean when's the last time you ever heard him talk about drinking?
Speaker 3:True, very true. Well, I mean I guess the last. Well, off the top, I don't know if this is the last time, but just off the top. The two records I would name would probably be. I know he had one on. To Pimp a Butterfly where he's acting all drunk.
Speaker 1:Bro. That is no Bro, because bro all that whole, but that's the thing about To Pimp a Butterfly Before we get too left let me just say this To Pimp, a Butterfly you can't just listen to one song.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you got to listen to it as a cohesive yes you got to listen to track one, track two.
Speaker 1:That's a full course.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you got to eat the whole thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're not leaving this table to eat the whole thing Right. You're not throwing nothing away. You got to eat this whole thing.
Speaker 3:You're not going nowhere, exactly, but yeah, so but yeah, but basically what I was saying with all that is that I felt that you know it had that commercial touch to it. It had that commercial touch to it and I think when the control verse came out, like his feature on there, um, the people needed to see that side of kendrick. You know saying that, um, just kind of that battle mindset. You know saying that, like, don't get it twisted. Just because I did this conceptual project and you know it had some commercial joints on it or whatever, I could still like wrap my ass off. And then, on top of that, I want to challenge each and you know every one of y'all that this the bar, you gotta match.
Speaker 3:I'm daring, you right, you know for y'all to top that, top you know what I'm saying and I that's the thing that I think is essential to hip-hop, though you know what I'm saying, because it's always been that kind of sport of competitiveness, of like I'm better than you at rapping this and that. You know what I mean, and I don't think that hip hop I think hip hop always needs to have that competitive edge to be what it is. You know what I'm saying. It's always going to need the rapper to say that I'm the best and who's going to try me? You know what I mean. So I just felt like in the 2010s, you know that was an important moment, you know right, as far as putting some in some in some of them that he named, definitely, definitely snap back at him.
Speaker 1:That me joint, that, bro, that is like my, that's like one of my favorite meek like songs period so yeah, yeah, that that control, that control shit was definitely um, definitely something um. What was the first time you remember hearing that song?
Speaker 3:um, let's see, I wanna say that I saw it on twitter. What was the first time you remember hearing that song? Let's see, I want to say that I saw it on Twitter. Twitter just exploded talking about it, and then I eventually checked out the record on my own. I think I either went to a blog site or head lead to YouTube. And yeah, man, it was just crazy, because you know, I was a Big Sean, you know.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:Big Sean head. I'm a listener too, so you know, gearing up getting ready for that project to drop, you know it was exciting to hear, but, yeah, you know my reaction was just like that's what the game needed, right, and then on top of that, I feel like it showed. I just I really feel like people sleep on Kendrick, like as a technician you know what I'm saying Just like all of the intricacies that he does. Just as a rapper, you know what I mean. Like a lot of people may complain about his voice, you know I'm saying and they, they're just like that. But to me it's deeper than that, because you know I get. You know people are gonna like.
Speaker 3:You know who they like, voice wise whatever but if you're looking at the wordplay, you the way that the cadences that he's using, the way that he switches it up, the different emotions that he uses, like all of it is just so like technical, you know, but it doesn't come off as technical, it's more so like trying to think of how to. It's funny because I just, for some reason, I always think of Dang, what's that movie? Denzel movie, train Day, and you know when he's like I get surgical With this bitch when he's talking about the shotgun Bruh.
Speaker 3:He just like he just be surgical with it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:With these bars Just as a listener. It's like Dang, that's entertaining.
Speaker 3:You just be surgical with it. You know what I'm saying With these bars, bro, and it just I don't know. As a just as a listener, it's like, dang like that it's entertaining, you know what I mean, cause it's, it's not only intelligent, but it's also like emotionally, you know, provoking, you know to listen to.
Speaker 1:So I think it's easy to say that on this control song, that your favorite part was Jay Electronica's part.
Speaker 3:Now we can say Jay Electronica had a solid part, but yeah, Poor Jay Electronica.
Speaker 1:I don't know whose idea it was for him to go last, yeah, but just know they will never be in the tnt hall of fame. But nah, kendrick definitely ripped that joint like to the point that, like, that's what anybody and everybody was talking about at the time. So my nomination for the next inductee in the Hall of Fame I'ma go with a place. It's a special place, a place that we could kick, a spot that we belong. It's just for us. Niggas ain't gotta get all dressed up and be hollywood. You know where do people go when we die. Yeah, man, I'm gonna give it to thugs mansion man, because that man I can only imagine what's up, bro.
Speaker 3:What's going on bro? You know I'm saying, you got me going down memory lane crazy today, bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man, I'm going to go with Thug's Mansion.
Speaker 3:Now which version.
Speaker 1:Oh, the acoustic one bro.
Speaker 3:Okay, the acoustic one. We just had to clarify that. No, no, and I feel that.
Speaker 1:But I mean it wouldn't necessarily be the song, but I mean, yes, if I had to choose, I'm definitely choosing the acoustic version. The acoustic version is the one with no offense to Anthony Hamilton or Big Crit. You know, or slash Big Crit, they may be the same person, I don't know. But no offense to Anthony Hamilton. I'm rocking with the Nas, one better than the. I can't for that one but yeah, no so.
Speaker 1:I think I'm to go with Thug's Mansion. I can only imagine. I hate, I just hate to bring up death. But you can only imagine what Thug's Mansion Looks like right now.
Speaker 2:They got Ipsy up there.
Speaker 1:They got King Von up there.
Speaker 3:Definitely bro.
Speaker 1:Bankroll.
Speaker 3:For the youngins, juice WRLD, xxxtentacion X, you know, definitely, bro. Bankroll For the youngins, juice WRLD, xxxtentacion. You know what I mean Pop, pop, smoke.
Speaker 1:Pop Smoke. How did I forget about Pop yeah?
Speaker 3:Pop, but um, nah Well, side note, I don't want to go left on it.
Speaker 1:But Anthony.
Speaker 3:Hamilton, though, when you mentioned Anthony Hamilton, I was just crack up because I was playing like a, they had like a hip hop, you know the word up joint and they. The joint was Anthony Hamilton and somebody said they say cornbread and collard greens and I was dying laughing. But that's what you think about. Oh, my god, that's why that was so funny, bro. Like anthony hamilton just summons like the concrete. Yeah, just country shit is country shit. But now back to thugs mansion, though. Um, the reason why I say the nostalgia joint is um. First of all, that was one of my favorite records, like when I first heard it and stuff like that, like it was just um, it was just so soulful, you know.
Speaker 3:And then I feel like both Pac and Nas, the verses was just like legendary legendary bro Like. And then you know, yeah, I don't know, I'm a sucker for that, just soulful acoustic vibe, you know. So um straight sucker but and it's like you know, I remember, even you know, back when I tried to rap and all that I had even like rapped over there. I would love to hear that, nah, nah, we need to bring that. I don't know about all that you did, you know?
Speaker 1:That is awesome.
Speaker 3:I would love to hear that. That is awesome, I would love to hear that. But yeah, so, yeah, so. Anyway, that's why I sang that Nassau's joint, because I know the instrumental very well, and yeah and um, yeah, that's a great record.
Speaker 1:but a junk classic for sure, definitely classy. So I'm take us back to 2005, right, 2005? The summer of 2005. And before I uh, before I give y'all this, I will have to say this is probably like one of my favorite, favorite moments of the BET Awards. So set the mood BET Awards June something of 2005. What? This is probably Destiny's Child's last performance on the BET.
Speaker 2:Awards I think Cater to you comes along, oh yep.
Speaker 3:See, I thought I knew, and then it was like you confirmed it. You feel so?
Speaker 1:it's like to you, comes on. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Beyonce grabs terrence, howard kelly grabs nelly, of course, yeah and michelle grabs magic johnson yo do, you like it like this, like bro, when I tell you like that point made me fall in love with beyonce, like completely fall in love with beyonce. I was definitely that kid, but yeah, so my nominee the destiny's child performance 2005. Catered to you with the lap, but it's, it was a dope. It was a dope performance, but I ain't gonna lie. It was so funny because magic johnson looks so confused like bro when michelle grabbed him right, right right why he just looks so confused, but like it was, it was still a cool.
Speaker 1:It was definitely still a cool moment.
Speaker 3:A cool BT moment Definitely.
Speaker 1:And yeah, so that's my nomination. That's a great pick.
Speaker 3:That's a great pick, man. That's a no word, do you like it?
Speaker 1:like this. That's the only thing I remember off the top of my head, but yeah, so yeah, that's my nomination that's such a great record soup it is, bro bro, you heard about fucking females talking about canceling, they trying to cancel.
Speaker 3:I'm like y'all got to calm down, bro. Like dang man, like y'all, y'all can't, y'all can't treat your significant other nicely like what is wrong with y'all?
Speaker 1:come on, man, you know like it's.
Speaker 3:It's like we understand. You can be independent. Yeah, you can be independent.
Speaker 1:Eat your own pussy whatever, but that's what I'm saying. Like, if you have somebody that you say you portray that you love, why not like, show them some?
Speaker 3:love, love. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1:It's cool if you want to have hot girl summer.
Speaker 3:Do that by yourself.
Speaker 1:But you can't be the one giving out relationship advice to the girls that are happy.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying, what the fuck is wrong with y'all Relax man. Maybe when you get to that point you'll understand. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I just want to let y'all know, man well, maybe when you get to that point, when you get to that, you'll understand yeah, and I just want to let y'all know, all these songs, if y'all haven't realized by now, are just perception.
Speaker 1:Bro, do y'all know when the city girls came out with real ass bitch? Give a fuck about a nigga y'all? Miami was pregnant. Like bro, she is not giving a fuck about none of y'all hoes, like none of y'all. She's living her life right fucking jt jt. Fucking. Cuffed up with lou oozy vert, like they living their best life. Megan the stallions. Cuffed up with uh, what's his name? Mr? Back it up, I don't know his name. I could never remember oh, um who wait, who look it all the way up?
Speaker 3:partisan yes him. Oh, I didn't know that, you didn't know that, yeah oh, you must have never seen him before, I mean I've seen him you know back when the record was.
Speaker 1:They post a lot of pictures together.
Speaker 3:Oh, I don't I don't be seeing. Yeah, I don't be. I don't really follow so many celebrities on the.
Speaker 1:Oh, I don't either I, uh, I follow that's another story, but yeah, so, and moral of the story if you have somebody love, don't, don't, don't listen to the fucking stupid shit on social media talking about it so now, let me.
Speaker 3:So now. This is. I'm assuming this is gen z that's tweaking about it, or is it? Oh, I don't know. I just heard about it.
Speaker 1:I didn't actually see what. Who actually?
Speaker 3:said it. I just heard about it.
Speaker 1:I didn't actually see what. Who actually said it? I? Just heard about it and they were talking about the cancel culture for cater to you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's wild bro, that's wild yeah but, anyway, I'm not gonna lie. If there's anybody in our generation like that's somebody I would have a discussion with, because I would be like what are y'all talking about, bro? Y'all, when this song dropped, y'all know what you know. You know what the vibe was. It's like a woman that just loves her man and wants to treat him nicely. You heard me like it's nothing more than that.
Speaker 1:It's not like he forcing her to do all this for her to do it, yeah, or not saying that, like they're having issues and he's cheating on her right, right she's still doing it like this is a guy that treats her woman I mean treats woman right like just a happy relationship happy relationship. Those exist I don't know if y'all know that but those exist, happy relationships exist yeah but we're not gonna turn this into dr phil show or the Maury Jerry's. It's not that Right.
Speaker 3:They said three judges, american Idol, they would vote on who went the hardest. So salute to my Asian brethren. Jin was the star. His shining moment in hip-hop.
Speaker 1:Wait making the band.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. So we're going to do this. 106 in part-hop Wait making the band. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:So we're going to do this 106 and Park Freestyle Friday oh wow.
Speaker 1:Which is actually funny. Apparently one of the joints' grown popularity. Apparently there was a Freestyle Friday where they really started oh scrapping, yeah Got the hooking. I must have missed that episode. That show was crazy.
Speaker 3:I hadn't seen that either, man, but I just seen the clip. But yeah, that doing definitely crazy. But yeah, I remember who they had. They had that blind. Do you remember the blind?
Speaker 1:That's the one everybody thinks about.
Speaker 3:I think his name is Blind Fury, blind Fury man. But yeah, so Freestyle Friday man, that was just classic, you know. Yeah, it's just funny how I don't know the whole vibe of that the crowd getting into it. You know the guest rappers and stuff that would be. You couldn't curse right like it was what 30 seconds that they had to wrap.
Speaker 1:Yeah and what's funny was you could always tell who wrote they junk in the first round oh bruh, like you could always tell, because that second round would be murder yeah murder, but I never understood. I'm like bro. You know there's a second round. Why?
Speaker 3:why do you stop at the first? Why are you coming in with one clip? Yeah, why do you need the whole thing?
Speaker 1:yeah, like what's up like you come with a gun in the first round and a knife in the in the second, like what is wrong with you, bro? But, um, yeah, shout out to uh, bones bagante. That's another person I remember from my freestyle friday because he actually, uh, I think he won like their tournament or something, or and then he ended up doing uh, he ended up doing the bt cypher that year. Oh, for the hip-hop awards. Oh, that's dope, so that's dope. I forgot. I forgot who else was in there with him. But, yeah, shout out, bones Bagante. I wonder, I actually wonder what he's doing now. I'm like you wonder yeah man.
Speaker 3:So yeah man 106 and Park Freestyle Friday Definitely a classic.
Speaker 1:Okay, so let me ask you this and this is what's the word, bro? What's the word, bro? What's the word? I'm gonna let you sit? I'm gonna let you sit on this for a second aj and free, or?
Speaker 3:terrence and roxy, I don't even have to think about it.
Speaker 1:No, no, cap bro much respect to both parties. You feel me, but I I know it hands down.
Speaker 3:You hear me it's aj and free. You know what I'm saying. The ogs you hear me like terrence and roxy. They did their thing. You did dig. It's cool. You know what I'm saying? It's cool. But dog, come on man, aj and Free was.
Speaker 1:I'm finna make a lot of people mad right now.
Speaker 3:Oh, what's up? You rocking with Roxy, I'm rocking with Roxy. Fine as no. No, no, no, no, Even bro.
Speaker 1:What? But here's the thing though right and this is the only reason why I like terrence and roxy's air bearer better, bruh, I hate it. I hate it on 106 and park that they would only play like half of the video. Oh, that joint used to piss me off like that, like they should use like bruh, I'd be like tearing my hair out like why are y'all doing this?
Speaker 1:but I remember during the terrence and roxy era they started playing a lot more of the videos. I don't know if it was because people got tired of it or it was just something. Yeah, complaints and they just eventually made it, and it just so happened terrence and roxy were there, right, but that's the reason why I liked terrence and roxy's era better I respect it now.
Speaker 3:I still, I still was watching through both eras.
Speaker 1:After that it got a little crazy.
Speaker 3:They was playing guess who was going to be the host. Because there's a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 1:They should have just left it with Bow Wow and called it a day, because he was supposed to be Mr 106 in park and all that shit Exactly. Exactly. But yeah, man, but yeah just to reel it back in Freestyle Friday Question Was there anybody from Freestyle Friday that actually made like a living, like I don't know, like as a battle rapper or a successful rapper After that?
Speaker 3:The only person that come to mind is Jin. Like I said, you know and I don't you know, he had his album and that was and that was it yeah, that was about it. You know what? I mean, um, yeah, I can't, I can't off top, think of anybody else that. You know that came from the Freestyle Friday staple or stable, you know what?
Speaker 1:I'm saying right, but well, for anybody, anybody, uh, that remembers the freestyle friday. If you guys, uh, hit us up on the instagram, let us know if you, if you know of anybody that's made it, yeah, freestyle friday, let us know y'all if you remember a favorite battle right and then also, you know, for turnovers, man, let us know what your favorite, you know, bt uncut video was.

To you NBA, it was NBA Ballers 2 or Homecoming, I don't know. It was one of the ones where you walk around or some shit. That's when I found out about Jen.
Speaker 3:And he was on the soundtrack, or is he in the game? I think he's in the game. He's in the game.
Speaker 1:And he's on the soundtrack.
Speaker 3:Okay, do you remember the record? I do not, okay, yeah, you're curious. You know what I'm saying. Did you ever see his video on any? Okay, all right, just curious.

Speaker 3:It was just so funny, man seeing that first video.
Speaker 1:I don't know man Does he still make music Do you even know his first single, none of his music okay, like literally zero.
Speaker 3:Yeah, bro, his first single was this joint called learn chinese I. I want to say we had a uh off off uh mic conversation okay, anyway, it was just hella funny because it's like why clef is on the song and he's ad-libbing it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:But I don't know.
Speaker 1:Like why Wyclef?
Speaker 3:It was just a weird record, weird, yeah, and it's like I understand what they're trying to do, but it nah, it missed, missed bro.
Speaker 2:It missed.
Speaker 3:Y'all going to learn Chinese Like come on, bro. You really gonna put my mans out there like that dog. Yeah, son.
Speaker 1:So I'm gonna go completely left with this. We've had this long discussion about R&B and hip-hop and dwelling the two. I'm gonna go with the folks that first feel like my opinion. I don't know, someone may have started before this, but I feel like these were the first people to mix hip-hop and r&b and still be considered hip-hop for sure. So, with that being said, my nomination for the tnt podcast hall of fame bone thugs in harmony.
Speaker 3:Oh just themony. Oh, just them as a group.
Speaker 1:Yes, just them as a group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony I ain't talking about that who I was gonna go with. I was gonna go with Nelly, but then I was like there was somebody before him, yeah, and it was definitely Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, absolutely Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and bro, I feel like all of them were like spitters, like and they all had their own style that's what's crazy. You could tell who was who that was dope.
Speaker 3:That was dope, that they they could all spit for real, but they all each had their own way and then they actually harmonized.
Speaker 1:That was crazy, that shit is hard bro, hard bro. So let me ask you this who's your favorite?
Speaker 3:I probably say crazy bone, crazy bone, my favorite, my partner, his favorite was busy bone. You know, and I can understand why, because you know that was my favorite and I also.
Speaker 1:I'm also putting them them in our TNT Hall of Fame because, bro, they're literally the only people to come out with a song with Eazy-E, tupac and Biggie while all of them were all still alive.
Speaker 3:Yo, I don't feel like they get the flowers that they deserve.
Speaker 1:They don't, they really don't.
Speaker 3:Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1:Well, I don't know I is. Well, I don't know. I do feel like I don't know. I ain't going to lie. They did sound like some haters when they were doing that thing with the Migos, which is actually funny. You know, when the Migos first came out, I used to call them the Down Syndrome version of Bone.
Speaker 3:Throats and Harmony. I did not know that. Yeah, it was way before I even knew you, so yeah, there was no way of you knowing that. But yeah.
Speaker 1:I used to call it Migos, the Down Syndrome version of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, but yeah.
Speaker 2:Bone.
Speaker 1:Thugs. Okay, so what's your favorite song by Bone Thugs if you had to choose?
Speaker 3:Dang, that's tough, so okay.
Speaker 2:So obviously you, if you had to choose dang. That's tough, so okay. So obviously, you know, I had to revisit their joints, you know. Yeah, you know, because that was, that was like before our time, really before our time, but um.
Speaker 3:So if I were to choose, like an older record, um I mean, it could just be any record whatever yeah, so okay. So I was. You know, as a kid, I got their record Strength.
Speaker 1:Strength and Loyalty.
Speaker 3:Is that what it was? That's the one with those three of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that's the one with the Bow Wow song and Mariah, yeah, I'm not going to lie, I used to fuck with that song.
Speaker 2:But just looking back on it.
Speaker 1:Now it's like bro, you got to song fucking Bow Wow who, okay.
Speaker 3:And now it's like bro, you got a song fucking Bow Wow. Who okayed this in the studio? Yeah, but I used to F with that. I tried record heavy. You know what I'm saying was it actually funny I didn't care for that song, yeah. So I don't know, bro, I guess I was on some emotion, like you know, like, but nah, that was, that was a record that I really F'd with heavy um, growing up like I literally knew, I think, everybody's verse on that and stuff, wow um, and if anybody knows, me, I'm terrible at remembering verses.
Speaker 1:So which is odd, because like they rap fast too, like the fact that you remember that.
Speaker 3:Well, that shows how much you listen to it, right right, exactly, um, and then I think they had a record called never forget me, with acorn at the end. That was like also pretty dope. I think the instrumental is what, like, I appreciate, yeah, appreciate about that anyway, my favorite uh bone thugs record. Um, that's a tough one, uh, yeah, because I, I'm not gonna lie, I used to actually listen to a lot of their joints, because you remember that they they collided with phil collins. Yeah, they're home, home, yeah, yeah, because they got crossroads. Notorious thugs, I mean, even though that I don't know is that, is that considered a biggie song?
Speaker 1:I thought it was. I thought it was a.
Speaker 3:Wait, is it?
Speaker 1:on. Wait, what is it on?
Speaker 3:It's on Life After Death.
Speaker 1:Which is funny, because you would think it would be a Bone Thug song. They're mostly on the song.
Speaker 3:Granted, it's like five of them of course, but I don't know. I would say Notorious Thugs. That's the one I know for real. But if that's considered a B song, then I would probably choose either Days of Our Lives or the. Crossroads, I would accept that yeah, yeah Days of Our Lives or Crossroads, if that doesn't work, I would accept Notorious Thugs because I mean you hear them more than anything.
Speaker 1:Right, right. I would say between I'm not going to lie, so wait. When you say you went back and listened to them you actually like, went back and listened to all their albums um no, I had a greatest hits joint that I used to bump bro and, yeah, I would recommend but, if you haven't listened to art of war oh, I haven't checked it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I gotta check that out art of war bro that was a heat bro thug love.
Speaker 1:Wait, you know, thug Love, right, nah I don't know, about Thug. Love. We're listening to that as soon as we're done with this. Wait, you know who's on that right.
Speaker 3:I don't know anything about that.
Speaker 2:That's the song they got with Pac.
Speaker 3:That's the.
Speaker 1:Tupac song. But Art of War really, honestly you can't really not go wrong with art of war. But yeah, thug love um body rot and you ain't bone, you ain't bone. I think you ain't bone was the one where they were uh dissing, twisting, uh do or die, but um, I just about to ask you, bro.
Speaker 3:That sound like some fight more like who's that?
Speaker 1:I heard you realize that you ain't bone nigga, you ain't bro. But yeah, bro, and just for another reason, as you said bro I feel like bone thugs don't really get.
Speaker 2:They roses like you know, you know, and this is some sidetrack shit.
Speaker 1:But like I'm surprised hip-hop vh1 doesn't do any more hip-hop honors but for real like there's so many people they don't like so many people that they don't speak on. It's crazy but yeah, so it's crazy really back in my nomination is bone thugs in harmony. All right, so I don't know if I'm a painter pitcher, but I know I referenced this, so this is a movie that I'm picking.
Speaker 1:It's going to be a nominee for TNT Podcast Hall of Fame. This is probably like one of my top five favorite movies and it's funny Every time. It's funny Every time. I always end up we even we end up having like a family night where my mom is like, oh, we watch movies together and all this stuff. I always pick the same fucking because, bruh, bruh, this movie is so stupid and like. It was like, and it's funny. This is recently that this happened. Well, not recently, but the most recent one was like 2020, during the pandemic. Yeah, like, because so we were stuck in the house anyway. So, bruh, we were watching that movie and my little brother was fucking dying watching that movie because it's just so stupid.
Speaker 1:And if you know, turn up. If you know devin, you know he likes stupid shit, and this movie is like the epitome of stupid shit. So, with that being said, my nomination for tnt podcast hall of fame is pootie tang ah, yes, yes, the legendary when I tell you that is probably the dumbest movie I've ever seen and it is amazing. Like, bro, I always wonder, like, how did they come up with? Like, how did they come up with that movie? And how is there not a sequel, like or maybe?
Speaker 2:there is a sequel.
Speaker 1:I feel like, if there is a sequel, I feel like it's one of them straight to dvd sequels that I'm probably never gonna watch and it's like whatever.
Speaker 3:But you know what's crazy, bro. I haven't seen that joint, though you've never seen that movie.
Speaker 1:I've only seen clips bro, I've never actually seen that fucking movie I've never actually seen that fucking movie. I don't know what you gotta do after this, but if you don't watch that fucking movie at night we definitely gonna oh, you know what I'm saying right, turn up my first joint watch it.
Speaker 3:My first time watching that is gonna be with you bro it's gonna.
Speaker 1:Yes, bro, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3:I just I seen clips and glimpses. I ain't seen the full joint yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's funny to look back on this because, like the movie has, uh, chris rock. Well, of course, chris rock is like one of the main people in wanda sykes, like little people, I mean not little people like that, but it's crazy to think like big people like that. Oh, and jb smooth. I don't know if you know jb smooth, yeah, yeah you do know he's the bald-headed.
Speaker 3:Yes, he's the bald-headed guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And he's another main character. Bro, that's a very underrated comedian by the way. Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Very underrated.
Speaker 1:But bro, like when I tell you that fucking movie is so goddamn stupid. I bought this belt from Piggly Wiggly for 99 cents, Bro. Where do you get a belt from Piggly Wiggly, bro?
Speaker 2:Dang bro, I can't wait.
Speaker 1:By the way, if anybody listening, if you've never seen Poodie Tang, I would highly recommend. If you're just into stupid shit, I would definitely recommend you go see Poodie Tang. It's just money, bro.
Speaker 3:Have you asked AC20 recommend you go see pootie tang. It's just money, bro, so you might have to have it, you.
Speaker 1:You have us ac 20 breezy them. Have they seen it? No, but just like I said in the last episode, no one breezy goofy ass. He probably has watched it. Now the two other youngins, the immigrant and the the brew, I don't know. They've probably seen it, they probably haven't.
Speaker 3:I don't know my dad, all the homies over, oh, you watch Pootie Tang. Yeah, oh, bruh.
Speaker 1:I would love.
Speaker 3:I would love to have To watch Pootie Tang.
Speaker 1:That bruh. I watch Pootie Tang my worst enemy, bruh. Like I love that movie, bruh.
Speaker 3:Shoot. I gotta ask my girl If she seen that.
Speaker 1:I doubt it you never know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. I feel like that might be one of them that her mom like her mom yeah, uh-huh, yeah, but nah, um, not gonna lie, I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't really know what it's gotten on rotten tomato or whatever, but like I said me personally, anytime you want to put a smile on my face, just put on pootie tang bro.
Speaker 3:You know, what's crazy, though, is that like that's, that's the beauty. So I I do get some, you know, uh, like some credit to you know, reviewers and this and that, but at the same time, bro there's just some joints that are just classic bro. Yes, we know the quality is not the best amazing boy, it's not but some of the ideas and the dialogue just be hilarious.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's what makes it funny, bro.
Speaker 2:Exactly bro, that shit is like so low budget and like.
Speaker 1:So I'm looking at some of these stats and, okay, I think I see why they never came over to see. So the budget of Poodie Tang was seven m's and at the box office they only made three. So, okay, that's definitely a reason to not come out with a sequel. However, if somebody were to come out with a sequel for pootie tang, I would love them forever sam, you're full support yes, bro, you got my full support what um?
Speaker 3:what studio put it out?
Speaker 1:um, I want to say they said qd3 oh, qd3 okay yeah, I think I have. Oh wait, um. Uh well, they, they produced it, they produced, they did the music and shit. I'm trying to think, uh wow, I'm actually looking at this. I didn't know that this was a comedy sketch from the Chris Rock show. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:Oh, dang, yeah, apparently.
Speaker 1:It's interesting, qd3, that's the only information I'm getting.
Speaker 3:I got you. Let's see For this week's Hall of Fame. I'm going to go with Omarion's dance moves. Oh my God, oh my.
Speaker 2:God, omarion's dance moves. That's what we're going with for this one. Oh my God, this Hall of Fame man.
Speaker 1:So have you done the TikTok? Have you done the dance bro?
Speaker 3:I have not done the dance. I was going to get you to do the dance on I don't know about that. I don't know about that we should all learn the steps.
Speaker 2:I don't know like two steps to it.
Speaker 1:We should just do. It has our mark. Has a marion always been dancing like that? All them niggas do that, but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I felt like that shit was fire when we were younger. Yeah, I don't know, I never really paid attention to it. I don't think we, like you, didn't all paid attention to bro, you didn't.
Speaker 1:You didn't watch touch bro, you didn't watch that touch video bro and think that was hard move right no, he was dancing in the street with that girl, yeah down the sidewalk.
Speaker 3:Yeah, sidewalk. Yeah, he was on the sidewalk street.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bro, tell me he didn't do the chest shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, no, definitely definitely All right, yeah, yeah, I guess I was paying attention.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I didn't think of it as choreographed as you do it live.
Speaker 1:Bro, Come on bro.
Speaker 3:You ain't see you got served. Don't think I'll actually really go to like a dance battle oh, I wouldn't either. But I mean I kind of.
Speaker 1:I kind of saw omarion for who he was so let me ask y'all this do you think that it looked better when he was like with b2k and it was choreographed as a group? That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:It probably was, but that's what I'm saying and then now that he's solo kind of looks touch was fire touch was fire, like the Chris Brown, if someone tried to recreate the.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like trying to like it kind of looked like predatory but at the time it's like hold on the bitch running away from you, chris you kind of like I'm not going to lie, because Jaquese tried to redo the video and it looked right, right, but at the time it looked fire can. Jaquese dance. It really depends on the nigga.
Speaker 3:I never seen Jaquese dance, so I don't even I ain't.
Speaker 2:I think all them niggas gotta know how, like if, if goddamn DC on fly is literally in dance classes.
Speaker 1:I feel like it's a requirement to be nah, dc, dc no, I was gonna say dc is somebody totally different, he knows how to do everything. Yeah, but um, but yeah, no, bro, I'm not gonna lie bro, I thought he was, I thought he was a fire dancer, but like I don't know. I guess it's just that one thing that made it look goofy.
Speaker 3:I guess I don't know what. It's almost like. Um damn, what is it it's?
Speaker 1:it's like it's fire, and then he just does like too much on top of it that it looks corny like you know what I'm saying every time I think of that, I think of that fucking performance he did at the fucking BET award when Rick Ross came on and Rick Ross kind of looking at him like bro what are you doing?
Speaker 3:chill out, you gotta chill what song was that?
Speaker 1:I wanna say it was like an MMG record no, it was an MMG record, but he came on. Yeah, but um yeah, I can't.
Speaker 2:I was like dang been waiting on this moment his whole life but um.
Speaker 3:He's been waiting on this moment his whole life. I'm going to go with 3-6 Mafia. When they won the Oscar and had that, that's when they did the performance too right.
Speaker 1:You know what's funny and what's funny about that whole thing. I don't think I've ever seen it. I just always heard about it. I've never actually seen what happened, what the, what the nominee was, even for seeing what happened during before, after.
Speaker 3:Like, I just heard about it bro, it's so funny though, just because it's like you know, you know the oscars and all that yeah like professional and all that, and it's like you bring such a hood ass song to like the oscars and all that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, how like professional and all that, and it's like you bring such a hood ass song to like the Oscars and they like, they like, try to make like a musical, Like you know what I'm saying. But it just was like I don't, it was just hella funny because you know that they.
Speaker 1:So, so, okay, so, let me so is so it was a performance and then they won the award, or it was an award yeah, I can't remember the, the, the order of events.
Speaker 3:You know I'm saying um, I want to say that they maybe won it after, like I don't know actually yeah okay, I can't remember yeah, I can't remember, because I can't remember if they had performed, and they were obviously happy to be there and then got the award and were super geek, yeah, super happy because they won, yeah. Or if they were super geek, got the award and then performed. I can't remember Right.
Speaker 1:Okay, so let me ask you this so what's the nomination? Is it the performance that they did, or was it them actually?
Speaker 3:winning it I the nomination. Is it the performance that they did, or was it them actually winning it? I? Was gonna say both both okay, so just all in one.
Speaker 1:Just all in one performance, performance, performance in oscar win all right, cool. Well, that works. Um, like I said, I wasn't really familiar with that. Uh, I will say this I do remember the reality show they came with afterwards, which was so funny. I like what's done that I know. Oh my god, that was boy. What a time to be alive um, what wasn't you remember?
Speaker 3:name of the joint.
Speaker 1:I think it was like the adventure of Hollywood, yeah yeah, yeah, and it was something like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was something like that, but, um, there's a nomination that I was like thinking of, but I don't even know if I should do that.
Speaker 1:Go for it, bro. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Yes, do it, do it All right, yeah, f it.
Speaker 1:I mean, nothing can be worse than that fucking camera on.
Speaker 3:Stop snitching shit my nomination is gonna be the rumor that spread around our childhood.
Speaker 1:Sierra.
Speaker 3:Oh my god look at that man, he knew already what I was talking about.
Speaker 1:Oh my, god, it was either that or 2k. I just I knew it was one of the other. Oh my god, bruh. And what's sad about that, bruh, I'm bruh. I was, I was so like confused. I was like, oh god, bruh, dang bruh. I was like, oh God, like I was Dang bro. I actually like her bro, she's fine as hell. And I can't even really like her because they saying she used to be a dude.
Speaker 3:Like Bro, this joint was so real I'm talking about like everybody in my school was talking about this Bro, like this joint was like for real. Bro, like folks were really. Like this joint was like for real. Bro, like folks are really. I don't know who started the joint, bro.
Speaker 1:Bro, that shit is crazy, bro. I want like now that you say that when we're done, I'm going to start doing some research on this.
Speaker 3:See, like how that shit started, right, that had to be from like a petty ass ex-boyfriend or some shit, bro, something bro, and I just I don't know how they got it circling on the internet like that, bro, but like man, I I really like real talk you in seattle when this I was in seattle when this happened. That's why it's even crazy, because, like sierra, obviously from the a.
Speaker 1:So, like you know, but that's what I'm thinking, I'm okay, I'm thinking like, because I don't know, I've I've never talked to anybody from atlanta about this situation, but I don't know, maybe it was just a West Coast thing, but I don't know. I've never talked to anybody from down here, bro, I feel like that joint is like Everywhere. Like folks our age. Yeah, knew about that.
Speaker 3:Bro, like you bring up what's one rumor you know what I'm saying. Like I feel like everybody's going to know about that, bro, like rumor, you know what I'm saying? Like I feel like everybody gonna know about that. Bro, like I don't know how it spread so crazy. Like, but, bro, folks, was really I was really believed, like I was like I really had to do a double take. Like I'm like what she used to be a man, like what? Like right, like bro, that was a real thing.
Speaker 1:Like no, I gotta do my research on that because, like, that is just crazy, that, like, like we said, that it just spreads so quick, quick boy. And this is I mean this is before smartphones, right? So, like, this isn't like instagram, like or like, like you would have to like be on the computer type thing, which is even weirder because, bro, I wasn't on the computer like that, which is even weirder Cause bro, I wasn't on a computer like that. Yeah Me, neither Like. So I don't know it was, that was, that was a, that was a different time.
Speaker 3:So you know it'd be interesting if we taught somebody older and see if they knew about it. You know what I'm saying. Like that, right That'd be.
Speaker 1:This is definitely funny. You got my mind wondering.
Speaker 2:Tanaka, I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so yeah, this is definitely going to be an interesting one. I'm not going to lie, bro, I feel like your shit is going to blow mine out of the water, bro, just because we in Atlanta they gone.
Speaker 3:But you know what I got to? Maybe it's just because you did it. Don't say fucking Jadakiss, fucking LOX, maybe it's just because you did it. You know what I'm saying Last night, I'm going to go with ATL. The movie, the movie.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, I know, jalen is somewhere smiling. Yeah, just oh my God, I know.
Speaker 3:Jalen of somewhere smiling. Um, yeah, uh, just um, yeah, your boy's not gonna been going through some things, I'm gonna keep it G, you know what I'm saying. So, um, yeah, that movie kind of resonate a little bit. Um, just the one thing, uh, I mean, of course you know we're skate djs, we in the skate culture right, turn up the cascade, turn that joint up, you know I mean. But um, just understand the. You know the impact of, you know skate culture in atlanta, how important that is. Um, that movie was special. Of course you know I'm a huge ti fan so that played a big role in it too. Um, but yeah, one of the messages in there I think was also hard was the fact that, uh, you know, when the uncle talking to um talking to you know ti and he's just like um, what he said, difference between what you feel and what's real.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying that's important, you know, because of course everybody go through feelings, but you also got to look at the picture and just see. You know what the reality is. Well, really, yeah, you know, because sometimes that feelings can kind of blur all that. You know. So, but yeah, my Hall of fame inductee is the ACL ACL movie did you see that movie in theaters? I did, I saw, I saw it with my dad.
Speaker 1:Oh is that did he throw up the east side?
Speaker 3:the whole thing nah it was just so interesting cause it was so diverse, like Seattle is predominantly like, predominantly like Asian and white. You know what I'm saying. So just seeing the diversity in the movie theater was a different experience, you know, and yeah, yeah, it was yeah, so I did see it in theaters. I actually still have the ticket of when I went to see it in theaters Wow, yes, it's in, like the DVD of the ATL. When I saw, I bought the DVD and put the ticket in there.
Speaker 1:Wow, so this, this moment, you were talking about the uncle. Is that like? Is that like your favorite part of the movie? Or like do you have any favorite?
Speaker 3:parts, I would say yes, so that's probably my favorite, just like message. I guess if I had to take, take one line out the movie. But yeah, I mean there's different moments in there. Uh, yeah, I mean there's different moments in there. Um, I mean it's just funny because, like being that, I live in Atlanta now you know, cause when I first saw it I was in.
Speaker 2:Seattle you know what?
Speaker 3:I'm saying so, being that I've lived here, I can understand it a lot more. You know what I mean. Just the different references and um and things of that nature. You know I don't want to go too hard track but shout out to Waffle House, breakfast sauce and biscuit. I took my mom to Waffle House, you know, last night and we had IHOP a couple days ago and she was amazed by Waffle House.

That's why I really, like I wish that X had dropped like a gospel album. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, like I really just feel like that would be the best way for him to end his career, I guess, like similar to how Ye's doing. You know he's moving towards the gospel joint. Like I just really feel like that was what x needed to cap his career off with. You know what I'm saying like just, uh, you know, because, obviously, with you know his, his later projects he kind of started to, you know, just kind of be out of touch with. You know what the game wanted. You know what I mean and I think if he made a gospel album like that, john would have really resonated and been hard being that.
Speaker 3:You know we didn't heard um. You know, lord, give me a sign. We didn't heard um, just records that like weren't necessarily gospel but they kind of touched on topics that you know could relate. You know, like they were like testimonies, I would say, you know, and um, and of course, like the prayers that he would, you know, drop on each project, you know. So anyway, I say I would say just like that spirit of x is um, it's special, bro, because like that's him generally being himself.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying and I sometimes feel like artists, like they don't get captured in that light. You know, because of xyz, you know what I'm saying. Um, it's like a lot of courage, you know, just to stand out on that. So, um, so yeah, rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, dindeer, dmx, I feel like he just captured everything we love about X. You know just the fact that he was so down to do it Right, you know what I'm saying, with the beat and everything Right, we're like just all in, you know. So you know RPX and that's my Hall of Fame nomination. Outro Music.
