Speaker 2:How am I feeling? Just like a lot of work ahead, but I'm feeling decent. Not all the way 100%, I would say I feel decent. So I wasn't, I don't know. I wasn't even sick the past couple days, it was more so. I just had like a really bad headache and, um yeah, man had to shut it down. Man, I hear that.
Speaker 2:But um Glad to be feeling better, man, I hear that. But, um, glad to be feeling better. I was also kinda like Nauseated, so I was like Do I have food poisoning again or something, bro, I don't know, boy, you in this food poisoning boy? Yeah, man, I'm like damn. Um. But yeah, man, happy to be chopping it up With the homies and all that Just getting caught up with everything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just, I mean glad to be back, feeling at least decent, you know Right, not? Um, yeah, not just I don't know I don't be feeling right if I'm not like active. You know I'm saying so, but um, yeah, jay, really been focused on work, organizing stuff. Man, trying to lock in these different plays and scheduling and planning stuff. Yeah, man, trying to. How you holding up out here man?
Speaker 1:I'm alright busy. I'm alright Busy, um, different opportunities Opening up. I can't really talk about right now. We'll see what happens. Um, but other than that, same old, same old. Stone Mountain Skyscape, sparkle, metro, diner, gold Rush. Old, same old, same old. Stone mountain cascade, sparkle, metro, diner, gold rush. Just keep them busy. Just keep them busy. Um, yeah, so, tanaka, we're not gonna, um, not gonna be around bush. You, uh, I'm not gonna lie from around Bush, I'm not going to lie From the other episode. I don't remember what we have and have not talked about, so I'm going to just say fuck it and we're going to leave the floor to you, because you said you had some things you wanted to talk about that you did some research on, and I'm intrigued to see where this conversation goes, or, can we have this conversation?
Speaker 2:Yeah, for yeah, for sure, for sure, yeah, let me see, I discovered that there's a version of the record. You know Cutty Buddy.
Speaker 1:That's the Mike Jones song, so okay, so the thing about that for me. I know it. I don't think I've ever heard the song, though, but it's like you could be my Cutty Buddy for sure.
Speaker 2:Right, let me take you to age town. Um, so there was already like us growing up, like we first heard it from mike jones, right, right. Then we saw the video and there was a different version.
Speaker 2:So the album version is with c pain, the video version is with trey songs I know a couple songs like that, but so I end up going back to the crunk movement and I'm just looking up all these interviews Of, like all them folk that was involved In that whole, like that whole scene, or just folks that was signed with B and Me and Lil Jon and them and um, cause you know, with B and me and Lil Jon and them and um, cause you know the rap nerd in me be like, oh yeah, whatever happened to Bo Hagen, you know what I'm saying. Like so, uh, yeah, just come to find out Bo Hagen. He just got he was one of Lil Jon's like day ones, like signed to that label and then he just kind of got lost in the shuffle of like artists for real, you know. So they were like friends over um, because bohagen was actually on you know those.
Speaker 2:So so deaf volume one, two and three yes bohagen's actually on one of on one of those like compilations and um the ones back in the nineties. Yeah, oh yeah, it's the real ones, okay, yeah. So I want to say one of them had dropped like 97, 98, something like that, and he was on one of the records and um, anyway, basically, um, he wrote, he wrote the hook, I think, for um, I think he wrote the hook for damn bro, really, yeah, I mean, I can see, I can see that yeah I can see that that's not.
Speaker 1:I mean that is interesting.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I can see that so I guess I don't think anybody knew that, though you know, obviously, because young bloods and all them you know, took over and and did their thing. But so it led to like his iconic moment in hip hop history, right, that we all basically know Bo Hagen, for in hip hop, who am I? I'm Bo Hagen. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, so that's why that's what led to him doing that, I guess, apparently on that verse, is that he was gonna make sure that they knew who he was like, because he had wrote that hook for that record but obviously nobody knew him. So that's why yeah, exactly that's why he wrote that.
Speaker 2:That's why he said he wrote the verse like that like he was gonna make sure the folk knew who he was. You know, and um, I mean, it worked. You know he's forever stamped because of that. You know, that's like an iconic verse if you from like atlanta or just the south in general, you know, but, um, and then okay, and then, like I looked up about Trillville, that's how. So that's how, my bad, I got diverted.
Speaker 2:But, this yeah, my fault, this Cuddy Buddy thing, right, I looked into Trillville because I remember growing up, I remember, you know, the Scrappy Trillville album came out, cool introduction to them. And then I remember the next album was supposed to be Trillville album came out, cool introduction to them. And I remember the next album was supposed to be trillville reloaded, like that was supposed to be like their next album, but it never really came out like that or had the proper, you know, promotion and stuff. So with this new age of streaming, we able to go revisit albums that, like you know, we would have had to pay 10 bucks for, you know, from the cd store. So I'm listening to this trillville reloaded and it got cuddy buddy on it, bro, and I was, yeah, I was like wait what?
Speaker 2:and so instead t-pain's like let me take you to Trill Town, and I was like yeah, I was like yo, that's crazy because you know, um, I just never knew there was a Cudi Buddy version by Trill bro, and I guess that that makes sense, considering that they had some cut, you know, before, that like it kind of makes sense for them to have that record, um, but yeah, basically, uh, yeah, trillville, um, trillville. They said that. You know, they like Don P, who I guess is kind of looked at as like the head of the group which one is he in some cut?
Speaker 1:the last, last verse okay, okay, I know their faces. I play that video hella often. I don't know how, but yeah.
Speaker 2:So Don P, he like yeah, bro, I ain't gonna lie, we all used to rap or whatever, but I wasn't really no rapper for real. I used to be producing beats, you know, but they were like, shoot man, we got this group, you might as well just start rapping, you know. But they were like, shoot man, we got this group, we might, you might just start rapping, you know. And they had, uh, they had like a little buzz and then they contacted this dude named vince phillips. Vince phillips was one of the ceos of bme with lil john and he's a lawyer. So he's been around the music business like a good amount of time. So that led me to go listen to find out about who he was. You know, right, long story short, he's just like a childhood friend with lil john. Like it was him, little john, and um, emperor cersei the dj. So they all grew up together and it was cool and they was just doing parties around the city. And so you know, trivel sent the demo of like three songs, I guess, to him and you know he was like yeah, you know, the first song was like something about Decatur, like it was cool or whatever. But then the second one, I think was? I think it was Never, was it Never Ever? I think it was Never Ever.
Speaker 2:And he like that's the one. And he's like, look, y'all need to push this song and then get back with me After a few months, after y'all been pushing this, like in the club and all that. So they hit him back up A few months later and they're like, hey, bruh, like come to this teen night you know club or whatever, like this joint going crazy. So he was uh, he was just laughing about it because he was, like you know, back then, like I was still just like a up-and-coming lawyer, you know, just graduated from college and doing, like you know, like little traffic accident type cases.
Speaker 2:So he comes to the club like dressed up like a lawyer, you know, and they're all, like you know, security's looking at him, like you, you sure, you at the right place, you know. So he comes in and, like you know, trivel got that joint rocking, you know. So they doing, doing their thing, all that. And then all of a sudden he said the dj goes, all right, y'all, y'all know what time it is, and he's like everybody, like everybody doing it, like the bartenders, like the, the kids, and they just all like and out comes little scrappy bro like with no shirt on, and so and he does head buster.
Speaker 2:And that's when yeah, that's when them folk was like and I guess mama d was there like mm-hmm and so he was just saying how it's funny because, like mama d has always been the same, like even back then, like she was the same person she was as she is now when folks found out about her or whatever.
Speaker 1:So wait, I'm just trying to put a timeline together. So Scrappy wasn't known at that time, right? No, no, no, not at all Not at all.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's why. So then that's when Vince, he was saying how he he was like Lil Jon, like he had all them artists already, you know, like Ubi, you know China White, uh, um Bo Hagen, like he had all them folk already, sansa, and even, like, I think, bone Crusher, and like all of them was like still like within the camp or what have you. But uh, he was saying how little john's like a perfectionist for real, you know. So he really took his time and like you know, but vince was like man, we gotta sign some more acts, like we need to get. You know what I'm saying. So what he would do is because little john wouldn't want to sign nobody, because he was like, nah, we got to still like, perfect, these folk.
Speaker 2:Lil Jon would go out on tour or go DJs like somewhere out of town, and then that's when he would sneak off and like, go listen to these other artists. So really, this dude, vince Phillips, was the one that discovered Trillville and Scrappy, because, like, it's always credited to Lil Jon, but actually it was him that found him, because he went to that club and he was just like, oh yeah, like once he saw Scrappy, he's like oh, I gotta sign both of them. You know what I mean, like that energy. So anyway, he was just sharing his advice on the game and everything and all that and just saying how, um, at the end of the day, it's all about the people. You know, if you got a connection with the people, like you were always, you're always gonna win, you know. And so it just kind of got me thinking about us like as a group. You know the delinquents. Like if you locked in with the people you know what I mean Like then you know, I don't know You're going to be straight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I feel like that's what you know. I feel like we do a pretty good job of that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we do, we do all right, we do, we do, we do all right with that.
Speaker 2:So yeah, that's how Trillville and Scrappy got signed. And then Trillville, they were just saying how, like bro, we look at the list on B&B boy and we were like, oh hell, no, like we not, finna, wait for all these folks to drop. Like we got to drop our shit. Now, like you know what I'm saying, our shit was hot, bro, like we was in the streets, like, and then they was even talking about the street code beautiful they were like, boy, we done got into it, but we was out there fighting for real.
Speaker 2:Now folk getting knocked out in the club, all that, bro, and it's just wild. But it's like there was a street respect on some. Like we be performing and then folk be mean mugging in the club, but they would actually wait for us to be done performing before we got to getting it in, like fighting afterwards or something like that that's interesting yeah, like he, like you could see him in the club while we performing, type shit. Like they ready to get butt with us. You know what I mean? We had pressure out of it.
Speaker 1:And is this because of something that happened previously, or they just saw him and they didn't like him?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know if it's jealousy or what like. You know what I'm saying, Boy or a. You know what I'm saying, but boy or turn up, he was looking at me.
Speaker 1:He was looking at me, bro. Well, they didn't have cell phones back then. Well, no, they had two ways back then.
Speaker 2:But then, you know, what's crazy is that Holmes was saying he's like but see, y'all folk, y'all got to start killing each other and shooting each other. You know what I'm saying, because back then we would be fighting. But I say to you to this day, like some of them, folk that I fought back in the day, like we partners now, like we cool now, you know what I'm saying. So it's like all y'all folk that be twigging out, shooting and killing, like bro, we used to fight scrap the good 510. You know what I'm saying. Get it in and then that's it, bro. Like you know what I mean. But y'all folk now y'all don't want to have fun, no more, you know. And uh, and so anyway.
Speaker 2:So, and then he went on to speak on like um, I forgot what record it was. Uh, I think it was put some croak in your system. Um, I think scrap, or was it? I can't remember, I don't know. It was one of them records that scrap wanted to be on one of them. And basically, he, they were like nah, man, like I ain't want to do it. Like I had it perfectly kind of mapped out. We already got three members in the group. You know what I'm saying. So like to add another verse, like we weren't trying to do all that, you know. And then um, but then the biggest thing that he shared was that some cut wasn't supposed to be on that album. That was supposed to be the debut single off the next album. But somebody, what was it? They had played it in the club and the women were rocking with it so crazy that they're like, oh, we got to.
Speaker 1:We got releases now.
Speaker 2:Got to Because it was just it was too hot at the time, right, and that's basically what led to that joint dropping.
Speaker 1:Right. It was a hot song because they were in Georgia and I heard this song in California. Right, I was in California at that time. So yeah, that was yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:And so that, and the squeaking is a chair, that's even better.
Speaker 1:That's even better. That's even better.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So they're like yeah, bro, we in there you know what I'm saying cooking up and all that, and we had the beat, but we ain't had that. You know what I'm saying. And I guess bro was like he was kind of rocking in his chair and it was like squeaking like that. And I guess, yeah, lil Jon was like hold kind of rocking in his chair and it was like squeaking like that. And I guess, yeah, louis john's like hold up, hold up, and he he's like, let me use that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:So he had recorded the sound and then, I wonder how like they recorded it yeah, that's interesting they probably. They probably just used the mic. But yeah, so that anyway.
Speaker 2:So everybody thought it was it sounded like a bad. It does sound like a bad joint but no, it does.
Speaker 1:Nobody would be like wait a minute that sounds like a cheer.
Speaker 2:Nobody's gonna fucking do that, but it is interesting to hear about that.
Speaker 1:And and then let's see while you're thinking about that, I did want to bring back that conversation that me, you and tonic had. Oh yeah, because we didn't, um, I mean, we finished it, but it was just, it was just interesting to think about it. Um, damn, and I knew I wanted to tell uh nicole something, because she actually loves that song and I'm actually mad I didn't get to talk to her about it. But, um, so the case, and joe thing we were talking about, oh, right metro diner yeah, that made me think about uh well, when you brought up this about um.
Speaker 1:So like I, like I say in a lot of different episodes, it's not a lot of things that amaze me in the music world because I feel like I've heard everything, but when I hear stuff like this it catches my ear and I'm like wow, I didn't know that right, so I'll say this about. Okay, let me let me back up real quick, because no one knows what I'm talking about except you, um. So for the people that know don't know, back in, like the early 2000s, late 90s, early 2000s, there were two singers named case. Is it case or casey?
Speaker 2:case. I thought it was case.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just had to make sure case and joe and they're actually, they're actually, they've actually had song together called faded pictures which is like their biggest song together. They probably have other songs together, but that's the one I know, faded pictures, but anyway. So case had a song like, and it was probably one of his biggest songs called I'm missing you. But what I I didn't know was apparently Joe had made the song. I don't know how much, I don't know how older it was, because I don't know when I'm Missing you came out, but apparently it was on his album. My Name is Joe, but apparently it was only on albums. That was like outside of the united states, it was only available for people that were outside of the united states, and so when I heard it I was like whoa like, and it's crazy to think about, because it's like now did you look at it or now did you hear it. You can hear joe in the background, right, and I never would have even thought about that if I didn't hear the joe version how did you?
Speaker 2:you?
Speaker 1:there was an article on that instagram instagram tiktok, somebody was talking about it and I was like wow, that's, that's dope, that's dope that's dope that folks do their research and shit like that.
Speaker 1:But um, yeah, they were talking about that and I'll say this. So if you, if you're into like, I'll just say this because I, I like both versions. Me personally, I would prefer joe's version because it's more, it's a little bit more laid back and chill. But if you're into like that, that emotion and that the I can't sing no more like, if you into that, then yeah, case is probably your version. But me personally, I like Joe's version because it's a lot more laid back and chill and I could tell I'm sorry, oh no, I was just going to say I got to look into why his name is Case.
Speaker 1:Why does that stand out to you?
Speaker 2:I just never heard of someone named Case that's such a random name bro.
Speaker 1:I feel like he has an unsung, maybe he talks about? Yeah, he probably does I feel like he has an unsung, but um I don't know, is that weird, do you never? In case, okay, never would have thought about, I just I just wouldn't think well, maybe it's because I grew up on them so like yeah as a kid, you don't think of shit right, right, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just, I don't know, that's just such an interesting I feel like that's kind of like more in the sense of how you know you, how you would call somebody something as a child and then, like you would tell someone, like one of your friends, like oh yeah, I call him. You're like what? That's weird, what I don't know. I feel like it's one of those things. But let's see, does he have an unsung? He does. He does have an unsung.
Speaker 1:He does have an unsung, yeah, we got to check that out eventually, but yeah, so yeah, that was interesting to find out.
Speaker 2:For sure.
Speaker 1:But was there anything else you?
Speaker 2:looked up, but was there anything else you looked up? Did you know about the $2 bill concert on MTV with Lil Jon?
Speaker 1:No, I didn't know about that.
Speaker 2:Bruh, that joint is crazy, bruh, because I remember MTV used to have the $2 bill concert series.
Speaker 1:And basically it would be like Explain that for the people that don't know what the two dollar bill.
Speaker 2:Uh, mtv used to just have a show that they they would take some artists and whatever city and they would film the whole concert and I guess it would be for like only two dollars or something like, and they would just pack out the venue and get to see the artists perform.
Speaker 1:For $2?.
Speaker 2:So I go back and see the whole performance of the Lil Jon and the East Side Boys and, oh, my goodness bro, that joint looked crazy bro.
Speaker 2:They went to the Tabernacle and they had that joint like rocking bro, like I can only imagine used to be the sponsor of this yeah that's interesting yeah, and I can only imagine, like just at that time, how crazy, um, how crazy it was, you know, because that's like you got to think of all the college kids at that time and like little john and that whole movement is like the biggest thing out right now you know so. So what year is this is like oh three probably oh four, oh four or five, oh yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So it's like um yeah, oh four, oh five definitely yeah, it was crazy, like I was like I gotta show you that joint because I ain't gonna count that. That was like that whole performance was just why I, like I could only imagine you know. And then, like reading the comments folks though they're speaking on it just saying how, like man, I was there and the energy was just so crazy, like um, I don't know, they just never felt they were. They was like it was so hot in there like you thought you you was about to pass out just because of how, how crazy it was. But, um, yeah, I'm not gonna cap that joint.
Speaker 1:Look, don't look wild man so with these, with these, um, things that you've discovered, are these like things that you like? It's kind of like a chain reaction. So you've, you're looking at one. Yeah, you fell another one. That you fell another one.
Speaker 2:I be getting into that because you know I be knowing all the artists. That's what I used to do is I used to look up these record labels and then see all the artists that were signed to the label. You know whether they were like the stars or whether they were like just newly fresh acts. You know that they was, you know, added newly fresh acts. You know that that was, you know, added. So the fact that I'd be seeing all these folk, I just be intrigued because, um, I don't know, I guess it's, I guess it's really just to see how, uh, how it all comes together in a sense, you know because, because then the next question from me is like dang you, we think, like 2005, lil Jon was like on top of the game. You know what I mean. After that current juice had dropped like right, you would have thought that, like they, they would just keep going crazy, you know, and I just kind of always wondered what happened. You know what I mean Because Crime Mob kind of died off. Trillville Scrap Scrap has a couple hits.
Speaker 1:Yeah, here and there.
Speaker 2:But it wasn't at the same magnitude. You would have thought that they had just had all this energy. They was going to keep pushing forward and, uh, basically, when they went to go renegotiate, um, like little john, didn't really like the deal that they were offering the record label right so, um, you know, because of that they kind of went, you know different ways. In this sense, yeah, like, and then I think, um, so what year are we like?
Speaker 2:this is like oh, six, well, he, he was so then. So, yeah, so trillville started talking about it and they're like, yeah, like keep it. Like me and john. They were like you know, we cool with john, everything all good. You know what I'm saying. But but I ain't going to lie to you. At that time I think John like hated us though you know what I mean Because they literally broke it down about Lil Jon. It's like he literally he likes to party, he likes his peace and you know what I'm saying get money, like those were his main three things. So all the fighting that we was doing and, like you know, I'm saying the whole crunk movement, like he just was sick of that, because he's like, oh, here we go again. Like I'm not trying to deal with this. Like you know, I'm saying folks always, you know, I mean that's definitely an interesting.
Speaker 1:That's definitely a hello easy for me to say that's definitely an interesting perspective because you would think I would think little john would be. That's what I'm easy for me to say. That's definitely an interesting perspective, cause you would think I would think Lil Jon would be.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying. So he was just like. He was like, yeah, I think at the time, like you know, jon got kinda tired of all that, like you know, hood fighting and all that. You know what I mean that he kinda went towards that rock route, you know, cause that's, that's when he drunk. Crunk Rock in what 2007, 2008, around that I would say 08.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Because 07, I mean 07 was still like Snap your Fingers and all that.
Speaker 2:And that's what it was. So he was like, yeah, I think he just said, f all this Crunk stuff, I'm finna go to the Snap music, you know what I mean and kind of like get away from like all that violence, that makes sense.
Speaker 2:You know violence you know wow and so um. So yeah, they like, they like. He never outright said that, but that's like that's what he. He was like I could understand putting myself in little john's shoes, like I could understand that he probably got fed up with all that you know, damn that puts that, puts that, puts it in perspective, though, right?
Speaker 1:no, because I'm thinking like, I mean just thinking about that. It doesn't really sound like he's really wanted to be about that life, though, and like him portraying himself as the king of crunk and like all that and damn that's great. That's just crazy to think about.
Speaker 2:Yeah no for sure, especially for us growing up like seeing right, you know and so then, um, so then, vince phillips spoke on it, you know, and he was just like, yeah, like so is this like trillville and the vince guy in the same?
Speaker 2:no, no, these are different interviews yeah, these are all different interviews yeah so this was just speaking on it and he was just like, um, he was like, yeah, john didn't like what they were offering, so he kind of backed away from that. And then, um, them as in the record label, yeah, the record label. And then, um, what did he say? Um, oh, he said it was also a very hard time because this is when napster and all them you know all them bootlegging and streaming joints yeah, had exploded on the scene.
Speaker 2:So, yep, he was like you can only imagine, we won the hottest labels with all these artists and you know, we had, you know, the hype and we, we obviously we don't want to get like what we're not worth, like we know we're worth. We want to get paid, right. But then it was at a time when all the labels were scared to sign because of all these bootlegging streaming servers. They're like we don't even know if we're gonna still be open as a label, right, what all these like if we're gonna even be able to sell music, because all these streaming services and illegal downloads and all that is is taking over, you know.
Speaker 2:So that also kind of effed it up you know, because they're they were trying to find another home for it, but folks was like real hesitant on.
Speaker 1:You know, I'm saying offering a deal basically so, tanaka, let me ask you this, and I this is just me thinking about this, is me thinking about it, right? So, yes, I don't know, I don't know, does that make, does this make, little john seem kind of like a, a poser, like a like, kind of like a? I don't know. Just not because it's the thing, right, because now that I'm thinking back on the um, the old late 90s sound of atlanta music, it was more of the booty bass stuff, right, and little john was a part of that, wasn't he? Yep, but that started in florida, didn't it? Yeah, miami base. So that's the thing, though, and that's, and that's when, that's, and that's what I'm putting together. And so we moved to the 2000s.
Speaker 1:He did the crunk shit and, as you're saying, he really what he really wasn't about that. He went to party. He wanted his peace, he wanted his money, and there's nothing wrong with that, right at all. You know, peace party, that sounds like, that sounds like a good. But you're portraying that, like you know, you drop bows on these motherfucking pussy, ass niggas and like you're not really about that. And then, not to mention, I just found out a couple years ago that crunk is really from memphis. What so like, does that like yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1:I never really looked at it like that this is something I just thought about now because like I remember okay, because I remember when duke deuce came out and like he was bringing back the crunk stuff crunk ain't dead and all that and they were saying crunk came from memphis, I was like what?
Speaker 1:and I was like okay, well, okay, so you know, there's crunk memphis and there's crunk atlanta, I guess. And then I don't know, you're telling me this or it's kind of like he's just kind of bandwagoning on folks to sound. I mean people sound and like it's like I don't know, like bro, that just no, it's interesting.
Speaker 2:I mean I honestly I think, um, honestly, I think, yeah, I don't know. I mean, at the end of the day, maybe it was just like a maturity thing, like maybe like he was making all that music and enjoying it, you know, but then it's like they come to a realization like wow, like this is what I'm doing to the people, Like you know, folks getting in advice and stuff like that right.
Speaker 2:Um, because one thing that vince always said about little john is that he, he like he never really necessarily did it for the money, like he genuinely loved djing. So he was saying how little john like really any function. He would always have his turntables and his stuff all ready to go and he would sometimes be djing for free. You know what I mean. Just because he loved djing and part. You know all of that so much. So vince was the one that I was like no, I gotta make sure that john gets paid out here, you know, cause he just he'll he'll just do it.
Speaker 2:He'll just do it, you know he sounds like you. So you know that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Little John and Tanaka. Who would've thought so?
Speaker 2:yeah, oh no, you good man, so um, but yeah, um, I think that's all as far as that whole Crunk, crunk, uh stuff. Um, in regards to I, I checked out a Saigon interview, you know.
Speaker 1:Saigon. Saigon For the people that don't know who Saigon is, which is probably everybody, please tell them who Saigon is. Uh, saigon, saigon. For the people that don't know who Saigon is, which is probably everybody, please tell them who Saigon is.
Speaker 2:Uh, saigon is a rapper from Brooklyn who, um, was mostly on the underground tip as far as like mixtapes and stuff. Um, he kind of built a credibility for, you know, always like fighting and stuff and like really being about that. But then he could also spit and then he was also a positive rapper, though you know like he is. He like was really putting a message out there. So so he was signed to Atlantic Records and he had linked up with Just Blaze and so because of that he became Just Blaze's like main artist.
Speaker 2:But it's funny because the record come on, baby, has j has a jay-z verse on it and you gotta think that back in that time that was so rare to get a you know jay verse that it's like of all people like how did you get the verse? You know what I mean, because jay doesn't just do that. You know J-verse that it's like of all people like how did you get the verse? You know what I mean Because J doesn't just do that. You know for anybody, right?
Speaker 2:So the backstory to this is basically Justin and Psy. They be in the studio. You know he would see Justin, you know, on the MPC banging out the beats and all that you know he would see, just you know, on the NPC banging out the beast and all that, and he he produced, you know, come on, baby, you know, and size like yo. Just I want that. Like you know that that one we out of here a few days later Lenny s calls him and you know Lenny S I do not. Okay, he's just one of like the. Basically he's associated with Jay. You know what I'm saying. As far as like, handling business, Like his assistant or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or just like handle, yeah, just basically handles that aspect of it. Yo Sy Jay really likes the beat so he's gonna need to have that. So Psy was like dang man, alright, I mean, you know, it's his hope, you know. So they in the studio again. And he just produced that Kingdom come beat. You know the rick james nah wait, this is on. The kingdom come, yeah, yeah I don't know that one, basically the record samples rick james um do you know the song?
Speaker 1:uh, damn uh was it one of his singles? Oh super freak, yeah, okay life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and um, you know, size, like once again, like yo, just hold that for me. Like you know, we out of here, like that's it. A few day later lenny has called yo side so this is a second beat.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm just making sure I'm keeping up yo, jay, jay already wrote it.
Speaker 2:You know, oh, the, the, come on, baby. He liked it so much that he, jay, wrote a verse to it on on the spot. You know I'm saying side man. You know he heard that beat. He like it, man, I'm sorry. So this was like the third time. I guess I forgot the other beat before that, but this was the third time that it happened to him and so side was just like he's like man, I ain't gonna lie. I felt like man, I ain't going to lie. I felt like they was trying me, like I had to put my nuts on the table. You know what I'm saying. Because, like bro, y'all keep taking these beats, I'm not going to have no album.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to have shit, right, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:He's like nah, man Like y'all just going to keep taking my beats. Man like y'all gotta like y'all just gonna keep taking my beats. Like so then, um. So then Lenny is like hold on, let me work on it. So he gives him a call back. He said you know that, come on baby record. Like he's like yeah, he's like Jay said, he'll let you have that and he'll let you have his verse on it, as long as you give him the other, the other beats. So so I was like oh yeah like like what we gotta got a whole verse.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, so call it true done deal. You know what I'm saying, so, but uh, anyway, that was. That was a little interesting, interesting thing. And then he had a record on his album called Believe it and they were trying to get T-Pain to do the hook but T-Pain was asking for like 80,000 to do the hook.
Speaker 1:And what year is this?
Speaker 2:probably, I think, after aunts like do you know the show entourage? Are you familiar with it? No, okay, entourage wait, okay, I know this show you do know, I'm sorry, I've never watched it, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, saigon was in it oh, okay he made an appearance, like in a couple episodes or whatever he made an appearance at like himself or like he's like so he was supposed to be a famous rapper.
Speaker 2:They gave him another name, but he asked them like could I just be saigon, like me? And so they were like they're like yeah, of course and the.
Speaker 2:The funny part about this is that while he's auditioning for it, um, basically, these execs hip-hop since 1978, have you heard of him? No, okay, he's. He's responsible for a lot of, like jay-z and kanye west success. Like, he was just like an A&R you know what I'm saying. And he, so he got Cygon the audition because he said, look, there's this show they're looking for, like you know, an up and coming rapper. You know what I mean? Just check it out. The other person that was auditioning for it was Young Jeezy. Wow, yeah, auditioning for it was young Jeezy, wow, yeah.
Speaker 1:So at the time, um, this is when Jeezy wasn't known like that, you know so so I'm oh, so this has got to be like oh, four, yeah, something like that, yeah maybe, yeah, I don't know, but they were just on the verge or whatever.
Speaker 2:So, um, anyway, saigon ended up getting it and, um, it was just interesting because they had already filmed the first season, so, but they hadn't released it yet, so they didn't even know if the show was going to be a hit. But they, they were already filming for the second season. And that's when Saigon makes his appearance. But he looks back at it as like a gift and a curse, because he's like, he's like man, it was a good look. But then, at the same time, everybody associates me with that, like they associate me as an actor not a real rapper.
Speaker 2:So then when?
Speaker 1:they, that was wait, okay, pause. You and you said he's actually playing as himself saigon, no yeah yeah, that's so he was like I in reality.
Speaker 2:I should have just chose like a fake name or you know definitely should have chosen because now, now, when people heard like, uh, you know a saigon song and know that they're like you're trying to rap, like he's like nah, bro, like I actually rap, and so definitely should have used, you know fake name that was. That was an interesting perspective, you you know to see. But yeah, basically leading to that Entourage had a whole bunch of success. The label gave him a budget, said go make a single. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1:All that so they gave him a budget off of the success of the show, the show right.
Speaker 2:Okay, so they make the record Believe it. They make the record believe it. However, this is because this is like 2008. I think you know what I mean. The issue is that the record sounds too much like the other two joints that's killing radio right now that are both produced by Just Blaze and then T t pain's asking for 80k, and sy was like man, like he didn't have to do anything, like he literally just has to sing the song. The lyrics is already written, like the whole. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Like all of that's done he's got that magic touch boy. That's not, so not.
Speaker 2:So he was just like man, we're just going to have Just stay on it. So the record is basically just a reference track. You know what I'm saying? Because, Just Blaze, he did the reference, but they just kept that as the hook since they didn't want to pay T-Pain to do it, so they released it with the and, so atlantic didn't want to push the record though, because it sounded too much like the two joints.
Speaker 2:That was already killing radio that was associated with atlantic records at the time. Ti live your life or rih Life with Rihanna, oh wow.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:Which was produced by Jess Blaze.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me get a guess.
Speaker 2:I'm going to take a guess.
Speaker 1:Go ahead, man, because I had one guess, but I don't even know if that's it 2008 Atlantic Records. That's what you got to think, man.
Speaker 2:I want to say all of the above but I may know by, may know, ding, ding. Wait, are you bullshitting? That's it. So those are. Those are the two records. That was killing radio at the time. Oh yeah, they definitely were. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. And they was both produced by just blaze and so I knew that that's crazy.
Speaker 2:So the third one gotta you know, gotta believe it was saigon. It sounded similar as far as, like you know, positive kind of chant type of shit. Yeah, and so atlantic didn't want to push it because they already had all the above and live your life going crazy on radio at the time. So anyway, just just interesting behind the scenes as to why things didn't pop.
Speaker 1:You know the way you should just campaign on it, told you, bro, you're getting that man. Well, I mean at that because at that point I feel like it would have at least did so. I'm assuming the, the track did nothing.
Speaker 2:I'm assuming well, the album didn't even get released. There you go, because um saigon was saying that basically his message was like too positive, basically His album was too positive because he was on a mission really to like save hip-hop and save the people. You know what I mean With positive messaging.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:He hated gangster rap and still to this day doesn't care for it. Because, like you know, why do you think so many folks you know got baby mamas and and this, that and the third and all that? It's because of messaging in the music, like people are making that acceptable, you know, and it's influencing our society to be what it is now right and even with gangster rap, you know like, you know, it's killing people.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying, because they listen to all this and they got to think they got to be all that and um. So, yeah, it was just a, it was an interesting perspective, and so basically he was saying that his album was too positive, that atlantic records wasn't gonna get behind, something like that. Um, but I ain't gonna lie, that album is, like to this day, like one of my favorite albums, just because, like wait, and how are you able to hear the album?
Speaker 2:so he eventually signed with um strange music ah, take nine, and they they, you know got the. Was it strange? Yeah, I think he signed with like an independent label in connection with strange me or something like that, and they, they released the project and um because that definitely sounds like I feel like tech nine would definitely give him free reigns to do whatever the hell he wants to do. For sure, for sure, you know, and yeah, they were speaking on that too.
Speaker 1:That's one of the albums that's on your wall right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they were speaking on how crazy it was, because they said Tech N9ne, like he runs Kansas City, I believe it. Yeah, they were like they're like, uh, it's crazy how much power he has in that city. Because they was literally like like Tech N9ne's business partner, travis. Um, he was like you know, they great people like it's to the point that if you get pulled over in Kansas City, like just tell them, you know Tech nine or travis, you know what I'm saying, they're gonna let you on your way, like you. Good, you know, he's like, bro, I can't even do that in brooklyn, you know, I'm sorry, I pulled over in brooklyn. It's over with, right, you know. So, um, yeah, just the, you know and that kind of.
Speaker 1:That kind of puts it in perspective. Well, it's not that you say that, because I don't know if you were there I don't think you were there for that but Metro Diner, not the one that I just recently did, but I think the one right before that yes, you came at the end. So there was this lady that was there was this lady that I think it was on a friday, that, yeah, because you had did the marquise lounge, right, yeah, it was a friday. So this lady had came up and she had said that she was, um, handing out shots and she was wearing the whole chiefs get up, like she had on like chiefs and they had like red and whatever their color is type thing, and she was like hey, can you play this song by this white lady? She's like hey, can you play this song by tech nine called things called red kingdom.
Speaker 1:I want to say, apparently it's like they're like chiefs theme song oh dang. And I'd like you know tech nine, how do you know tech nine? That's crazy. And so, like I see the video and I'm like, ah, makes sense, makes sense, it's chiefs, everything. So yeah, that definitely.
Speaker 2:That you say that he runs kansas puts it in perspective and it's crazy how sy was saying that Travis is just the reason he gets why they've had so much success as an independent label. He's like. Travis is one of the few people that, whenever he said he was going to do something, he did it like and follow through on it. He's like in this business you don't come across a lot of people that are like that, you know. So he always valued that and um. So, yeah, man, salute to them. You dig. Um. Yeah, saigon's an interesting story for sure, you know.
Speaker 1:Um, he calls sticky fingers pussy oh wow, wait uh saigon or uh tech nine saigon wow, well, he was just like he was.
Speaker 2:Like I grew up listening to onyx, you know, and hearing them, you know, rap, all that, you know tough talk and gangsta, you know, and um, he was like, but I hated it because I saw what it did to the hood, like it made folks want to be like that right and do all this violence and stuff.
Speaker 2:So because of that he kind of talked down on him and he, he recalled he was like yeah, I was at a hotel and you know sticky fingers that came up to me. He's like yo, I I heard you was being disrespectful, you know like, and saigon was just like. I mean, look bro, we both staying at the same hotel. If you want to step outside and handle this like we, we can do that. You, you know what I mean. Like he's like, yeah, like I did say some stuff. But it wasn't no disrespect, it's just I don't agree with the message that y'all were, you know, putting out, you know at the time, and so that man's sticky fingers, that man's sticky fingers dabbed him was like okay, and then he dabbed him up and he's like let me buy you some drinks at the bar damn, he called him a pussy for that.
Speaker 1:Damn, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:So Sargon was just like. He just felt like if you come up on that raw rush, like, just be about it, you know what I'm saying, right, but he was like he came up to me on that raw rush and then I said, like we can shoot, you know, the five outside. And then he, he bought me drinks the whole night and so he's just like. He's just like. My whole thing is like why didn't you? Why didn't you? Just, oh, because then then he was saying how, like you know, they had a conversation about it. And he's just like, why didn't you just approach me like that from the jump? Like you know what I'm saying, like I'm not trying to be on no rah-rah stuff, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:But obviously, if you come to me like that, I'm gonna, I'm gonna to accept it, because he was like Saigon for real, be fighting. You know what I mean. Like he came from jail, like where he had to fight. So he comes from that. And so he's like, yeah, like if he had just approached me just on some peaceful joint, like we wouldn't have had no issue, but for you to come up to me on some Rosh and then back down once I offer you the fair one outside. I guess he kind of lost respect for Sticky Fingers. But he was also saying that he feels like a lot of rappers are like that. They talk all this tough in their songs but they're not really about that for real.
Speaker 1:So has Sticky Fingers responded to this? I'm not sure. Yeah, I don't know. And they songs, but they're not really about that for real. So has sticky fingers responded to this?
Speaker 2:I'm not sure. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I guess we'll find out on the next adventures of dj tanaka and his adventures on the interviews and shit.
Speaker 2:yeah, so but um, yeah, I mean you know it gets. Uh, yeah, it's interesting man. It's interesting man. It's interesting hearing a lot of these stories and stuff, because even Love Hip Hop, saigon, ended up on Love Hip Hop, and that's just somebody I wouldn't have thought at all. You know what I mean. Just Love Hip Hop period, I don't know, it's just such a I don't even pay attention to it too tough.
Speaker 2:but when I heard that saigon was on I was like what the yeah, no, that's crazy and then just seeing how like little, you know, little clips here and there it was like saigon wiles out and this that I'm like damn, like this looks bad. Now you know what I'm saying because knowing his music, talking about all this positivity, and then seeing these clips, it's like what's going on, you know. But then he went and explained it and even that story was crazy. You know. It's basically that um one like he had went through basically a depressing time in his life, like where he was going, he had lost his mother.
Speaker 2:So once he lost his mom he was like real depressed and all that and um, so, following that he was just smashing, you know, women and everything. And before that he used to be real safe. He used to always be wearing a condom, you know. But this time around he just didn't care about nothing because, like, his mom had left him and all that. So he was getting into fights and and just really wilding out. He ended up getting two women pregnant like within a week of each other, and um, so, once he had those children, he kind of realized that yo, like I know my mom's gone, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't be happy if I was throwing my life away like this.
Speaker 2:So one of the women that he used to smash from back in the day pops up and like, just, it's like yo, I respect how you're being a father to your children. You know, like, if you need help, whoop, whoop, whoop. So she's helping out for like a month and then she says you know, would you ever do love and hip-hop? And he was like what, nah, hell, nah, like you know they be having them. You know, folk look crazy on there, like not at all. Look crazy on there, like not at all. He's like she goes. Oh, I had got like me and you in audition for it. So he comes to find out that that was her whole play, this whole time, for her being nice to him and all that. You know she was just trying to use him and get in on that show and so this is one of the baby mamas. No, this is just a chick that he used to buzz down from time to time, but wasn't even close like that oh, wow yeah.
Speaker 2:So he was like it was so crazy, how shawty you know what I'm saying set me up because the head person of the show, he, he was like putting it all together. He's like she must have came to them and was like yo, like I'm in a relationship you know what I'm saying with a rapper and like, oh, who says saigon? And the head person of that show knows saigon personally from back in the day because they had crossed paths with like music management and stuff, right. So they're like oh, yeah, bet, you know what I'm saying. So they see, in the audition, right, they, they, you know, and they're like the head lady goes, she's just like, yeah, something's off, like the chemistry is not there, like y'all aren't like intimate enough, like not kissing, like y'all don't even look, like y'all like each other for real. So basically, they saw through the bullshit you know what I'm saying, cause. And so they're like, yeah, we gotta, she's gotta go, but Saigon, you know I rock with you. They're like what's up, you don't have no like chick that you could, you know.
Speaker 2:So his plan was the chick that he was finna go on the show with. He was like, look, I got my baby mother, that I you know what I'm saying that I could do it with, and he literally told her the game plan. He was like look, I got my baby mother. That I you know what I'm saying that I could do it with, and he literally told her the game plan. He was like look, the reason I'm going to do this is because the world always looks at, like, you know, baby mother, baby father, like they can't get along, like they can't co-parent, you know? Basically, you know what I'm saying. It's always an issue. And he's like my mission to go on this show was to show that we can co-parent even though we're not together. That was basically his goal.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:He told her. He's like look, just follow, just follow my lead, like, and it'll be straight. You know, they get on the show and I guess basically the producers or whatever had got in her ear and they had just basically said like they were too boring or something like that. So she thought that, you know, it was like she gotta turn up and do some crazy. So she started disrespecting him and stuff like that. He's like yo, like what are you doing? You know what I'm saying? Like this, you know what?
Speaker 2:part of the plan so that's why it all went left. You know what I'm saying? Because so you know, it's just, it's crazy, it's crazy, stuff like that.
Speaker 1:I mean not really. I mean loving hip hop. I've heard so many stories about loving hip hop not being real and all that shit. So I mean this just further proves it. Yeah, yeah, for sure it's. So I mean this just further proves it yeah yeah, so I mean, it's sad, it is sad.
Speaker 1:That these artists, rappers. You know it's not about the music, no more. They just got to make some shit about loving hip hop and all the other shit. But you know, hey, I ain't going to knock nobody for getting their money. Man, that's how you get your money. Hey, go for it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, man. No, it's, it's crazy man.
Speaker 1:So, but um, yeah, man, you know was that, it was that, was that all, yeah, that was.
Speaker 2:That was pretty much the wormhole that's not going down. Um, that's interesting. I guess I get there.
Speaker 1:I guess there'd really be I guess there really wouldn't be any way to segue from saigon anybody else, because I don't know, I don't remember saigon working with, oh, I guess, strange music then but, then I don't think you would know anybody in strange me except tech nine. Yeah, oh, standing, I think his name is chris calico.
Speaker 2:I want to say yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know him but as far as I go, um, that being said, we're gonna move on to the uh question of the day. So the question of the day actually veers off from a conversation that me, you and um I think it was me you and drip were having. You have he had a situation and he um a dj, had um played his uh, had played a reproduced track on his um for his performance and um. It was just a question I had just personally, just from a fan standpoint not even a DJ standpoint, what is acceptable?
Speaker 1:So let's hypothetically say that DJ Unk was okay with this beat and he were to perform. If you were in the crowd, would you be okay? Would you be okay? Would you have been okay with that?
Speaker 2:performance. Well, I take that back. I don't think it was a, now that I think I my bad. I think I use the wrong words. It wasn't a reproduced beat, it was just a bad version of the song, basically oh, the bit rate was bad, yeah, like it was like not studio quality, yeah.
Speaker 1:So let me ask you this.
Speaker 2:So let's say, let's and you know, you know me turn over. It's like we're so trained that like we know when some shit sounds right and it's mastered and all that, and we know what a bad file is gonna sound like on some speakers.
Speaker 1:Bro, that joint did not sound good, like the bass is not hitting properly the sense and all that let me ask you this, because maybe this is, maybe this is two different spots, but yeah, was this on the could have been records, uh, shit because you mean, have you ever heard of could have been records? Yeah, yeah, was this? Um? So this wasn't a part of the could have been records concert no, no, no so apparently oh, because I saw something else where he's like dj unk is disrespected at.
Speaker 2:Could have been records oh no, I didn't even hear about that, yeah I don't know.
Speaker 1:I gotta guess I got to watch that. I thought that was just.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:Because I remember you told me you didn't know where this actually happened.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, this wasn't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, cool, this wasn't the Philly Alechewski or nothing like that. So let's just say like if he were let's hypothetically say he did perform yeah, would you have been okay with that performance, with with him. Just no, no, that's not okay. No, all right.
Speaker 2:So let's just let's make up a perfect performance because, as a well damn, as a fan, it's just like what are we doing? But then at the same time I know that that we have DJ ears, you know what I'm saying so we're able to tell if a foul and I don't I'd be forgetting that the average person can't necessarily tell like that, right, you know. But I'll say this I'll say that the venue and performance wasn't big enough to where I feel like you could just get away with something like that oh so the I feel like if there was a lot of people just cheering and like all that, like you could maybe get get away with that.
Speaker 2:Oh, but everybody wouldn't sound good, but I feel like people be able to let it slide. But with this joint it didn't seem like there was enough people for that. So you're gonna hear it, you know, because folks is not like there's a crowd, but they're not like. It's not like a screaming, you know, like a festival type of crowd. You know what I'm saying. Was it like it was?
Speaker 1:like the OJ's Juice man concert. Basically, Everybody just kind of just oh, DJ on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like a convention convention, but a small convention though, like hey, you know, at this time you can go check out dj unc or at this time you can go see, you know. So it wasn't no packed out joint, it was like maybe I say 60, 70 people you know, like.
Speaker 1:So let me ask you this in that scenario, what would be the, what would be the minimum? I mean, what would be like the worst case scenario that you would sit there and be like okay, this is this is okay, this, this is this is fine.
Speaker 2:I don't know why I thought of that, that little uh. Was it the animal in in that burning house?
Speaker 1:oh, this is fine. Yes, exactly what is what's something you would sit in?
Speaker 2:a burning. Basically yes what is?
Speaker 1:what is something you'll just sit in a house to burn a house and be like this is fine. Concert edition what?
Speaker 2:what's something you would say what would you like? What you mean like, just like of the performance.
Speaker 1:So you like, you said a dj just pulling up a random 128 bit rate audio file isn't acceptable for you, right, right. So like what, like what would be acceptable? What would a studio quality reproduce beat be acceptable for you would? I don't know him just rapping acapella be okay for you, would him?
Speaker 2:I don't know see, it's tough because with DJ Unk his joint is mainly like dance records.
Speaker 1:So it's like it was crazy you do it with no hands.
Speaker 2:Stop, pop and roll like just imagine dj on acapella is kind of crazy show out, show out, show out.
Speaker 1:You're such a show off. Yeah, that's, that's kind of great. Now, bust a move. Now, bust a move. Yeah, bust a move. Yeah, show out.
Speaker 2:And acapella is kind of crazy um, I mean I don't, so let me ask you this, okay?
Speaker 1:so I, know they're not the same artist, but could would DJ Unc be able to get away with what Young Guns did and them switching up the beat with the different songs?
Speaker 2:Your face. Would DJ Unc be able to get away?
Speaker 1:with that. I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2:I don't know man, because his joint is dance songs for real.
Speaker 1:So it's like so if they switch the beat then it's like do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, like what?
Speaker 2:that they gonna do the wrong day? They gonna do the wrong day.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying walk it out, walk it out like why are y'all so much money and what's murder? What's going on? Um? So, basically, we would need to hear the track, we would need to hear the right instrumental, we would, it's just right being that it's dj unk.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel like. I feel like it gotta be the song or else it's like it's gotta be what it is, or it's not. It's not gonna work especially for Unk bro, cause I'm trying to think of a song that he didn't have. That wasn't a dance.
Speaker 1:Damn did he. Have you heard his mixtapes or albums or anything?
Speaker 2:very vaguely, you know, but a lot of it was just dance stuff, cause you know what I'm saying, it was just dance stuff, because you know I'm saying he was a dj before that. So it's like right, it makes sense, like he knows what what works at a party. So like his whole album gonna be, you know, just set right. Um, by the way though, shout out, shout out to dj. We got a shout out dj Glorilla just remade one of his records.
Speaker 1:That's that. Hold On joint. I don't think I knew that was a DJ Unk record.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was off of his album Beating Down your Block.
Speaker 1:Hold on, I don't think I knew that. But double shout out to DJ Unk, because he really could have got disrespectful to that dj man.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to say because I ain't gonna lie, I thought he was gonna go off you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:So for the people that don't know, tamaka, tell him.
Speaker 2:Tell the real story of how, what happened yeah, basically dj, he was performing his song or whatever, and he just had to stop mid performance because he was like bro, it doesn't sound right, you know what I'm saying? And whatever version, and the DJ was VJing, so you can literally see the record that he's playing on the screen. This man downloaded the video he downloaded the youtube version and and you can see like y'all should see tanaka's face right now.
Speaker 2:But it was so crazy because it was literally like, like it was such an old file I'm talking about like back in, like this, like the type of joint on youtube. It was so old that it was like you would put this on your myspace like that's how old the file. You know how them songs used to look on youtube where it shows the title and like it's like a blue background exactly exactly the weird font.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know exactly. It had that weird fade in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know exactly, because I've made a couple videos like that's what I'm saying, and so we know what quality those files were back then. Bro, like it's not even no disrespect, it's just that's what we had at the time. You know so. But for you to be using that in like 2020, whatever is so crazy to me. Like so, like mind-blowing, that I was just like man. I feel him you know what I mean like you can't be like come on, bro, that sounds terrible. And he was like man, like I, I would snap on you, but it's just, I think him, being a dj, I think kind of was like I didn't think about that.
Speaker 1:I forgot that he was a dj too you know.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so it's like I was just I was just glad that he didn't you know what I mean put poems under the bus and I and just was like he was just like look, man, if you had the right file, look, I love y'all. I just if he had the right file, I'd perform it for y'all man. But I can't do it like that, man, you know absolutely not, but shout out to dj on shout out dj on man, you know true be told.
Speaker 1:True be told. For me, hypothetically, if he were to drop that joint, I'd be completely fine.
Speaker 2:But that's 56 bit rating 56 bit rating.
Speaker 1:No Cause, that's what that shoe sound like.
Speaker 2:Exactly, that's what I'm saying At that point. Bruh, you better off having focious, alright bruh. You the snare, you the synth, you the bass, alright, exactly, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but Before this joint goes too far oh, it's too off the rails we're gonna go to the next one. Uh, we got guess the bars, yeah, guess the bars.
Speaker 1:All right. So, tanaka, we're gonna do do it a little differently because my printer is acting fucking retarded. So I got three in there and I got two. I got two that I sent to your email. So I mean, it's up to you whichever one you want to do first. Well, uh, for the people that don't know, uh, guess the bars, we send each other some bars and we rate them on the f scale. Well, we read them out to you guys first, bars, and we rate them on the f scale. Well, we read them out to you guys first, and then we rate it on the f scale, which is from five to one fire, ferocious, flat frisbee fecal. Try to figure out who it is. And, yeah, we go from there. Um, I'll go first because you, I mean, yeah, because you still trying to figure it out, but yeah, so, so, yeah. So I sent you two on the joint and then your last three is in there should be, but yeah, let's see.
Speaker 1:All right, so guess who they called up out the woodworks? Take off my fucking shirt. I'm repping to the dirt. I'm repping to the grave. I'm repping for the a. I'm riding 21 on my impala son. I'm smoking big dro. I'm with a red hoe. Her cousin got the blow. We kicked that nigga dough off the hinges. I'm relentless. I repent this. Can I get a witness? This sounds familiar. I feel like this is.
Speaker 1:I want to say this is uh. I want to say this dro just because it, to say this is dro just because it says big dro. But I know that's not um for some. If this didn't say I'm repping for the a for some reason, I would have thought this was uh. I would have thought this was a pimp c for some reason. I don't know why this, I don't know it's getting pimp c vibes. But I mean, until he starts talking about kicking does, I don't, I don't remember, I don't, I don't remember pimp c talking about kicking folks door. Um, I could, I can appreciate the uh, the, the, the delivery in it. It's um, it's a cool little. I feel like he's, I feel like he's, I feel like he's, I feel like he's bopping to the beat. So, um, it's cool, I'll give it a flat. Um, uh, repping for the a, this ain't future. This, this doesn't. This doesn't give me future vibes. This gives me like a mid to early 2000s vibe.
Speaker 1:Who's taking off their shirt? Um, I don't see bone crusher doing anything. I don't know why. Bone crusher popped in my head. Baby ti. Or maybe jock no, jock ain't taking off his shirt. Um. Or maybe Jock no, jock ain't taking off his shirt. Maybe TI. I wasn't going to say Lil Jon, but Lil Jon ain't taking off his shirt either. Maybe he is. I don't fucking know. I don't know. I've never seen Lil Jon. I'm going to just say TI. I'm going to say TI. I'm going to guess TI.
Speaker 2:So this is a trillville.
Speaker 1:Uh, get some crunk in your system and it's the last verse which I think was passage, if I'm not mistaken ah, I'm not saying well, that definitely, well, that definitely is right why I felt like I got um fucking early uh, early 2000s vibes yeah for sure, yep, for sure, the show.
Speaker 2:Turn up, man, how you gonna put the song on. Is that the song?
Speaker 1:Oh damn, that probably is the song I don't. That's crazy, I must have been rushing. Well, oh well. Well, I gave you one.

Speaker 1:I already fucked up doing that yeah, it's a flat frisbee.
Speaker 2:Well, they said I'm a prince, so I guess that's why he told her to tie his shoes.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to make sense.

That's the one that recently came out. Zans, don't lean all in my cup.
Speaker 1:I ain't going to lie, that shit was actually pretty clever. I'm not going to lie, I thought that was pretty clever. I really wish they would have did better on this album. Though, because I ain't going to lie, I fuck with that. When I look in the mirror, what do I see? A sexy motherfucker looking back at me. Let's go, I ain't gonna lie that shit kind of hard. But anyway, teach his own. Did you like the album tournament? Oh, I didn't hear it. I just. I just heard those two songs, but, um, yeah, anyway, last one love these niggas, man.

Speaker 1:Um, yeah, I don't know. Frisbee, that's all I got any thought rapper from like the the mid, the mid to late 2010s is who I'm guessing it's just so crazy, because you literally named everyone except for them, that one who was that's beautiful this is uh.
Speaker 2:This is glorilla.
Speaker 1:Ah uh, none of them I heard that song when I heard the album and I was like, oh, this will be a dope slow walk song. The only issue is the clean version is huh ma, huh, huh, huh, huh, because she said nigga so much. It's like all right, it's just crazy, but yeah, I fuck with the song. It's a cool song. It's like all right, it's just crazy, but yeah, I fuck with the song. It's a cool song. It's a cool song, but yeah, it's a frisbee, all right, last one, let's wrap it up.

Speaker 1:Oh, don't give me lying.
Speaker 2:It's like trucker wear or something.
Speaker 1:I don't know. He was a skateboarder at the time. I was more confused on why he picked that name, like you were, but I was just. I don't know, maybe it's just some skate terminology.
Speaker 2:Wasn't that one of his lines Like suck some dick for some truck?
Speaker 1:fit yeah, bitch. Quit talking that shit and suck a nigga dick for some truck. Fit yeah yeah. Okay, I mean yeah, talking that shit and suck a nigga dick for some truck fit. Yeah, yeah, okay, I mean, yeah, that was. Uh, what song was that? That was, oh, pop that your favorite rapper, french montana. There you go anyway. So yeah, truck fit, tanaka. Have you ever owned any truck fit? Not at all, not at all not at all.
Speaker 2:Oh, it just wasn't for you man uh, I'm not, I don't think I was into. Well, I'm not, I'm not really a fashionable guy like that I can't tell you got all the young shit on shout out to uh what's their?
Speaker 1:names. What's their names, uh?
Speaker 2:turn up. I'm just trying to support the youth. Support the youth out here, man there you go, truck fit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think I was only really like if I were to wear something like it would probably be like TI, you know.
Speaker 2:Oh, he has a. I had some Akou back in the day. You know Some who Akou?
Speaker 1:You know what's funny? I didn't have that, but I did have 8732.
Speaker 2:See, and yeah, but Truck Fit nah.
Speaker 1:Why not, bro? Why you wasn't fucking with Truck Fit?
Speaker 2:bro. Well, like you said, it was a skater-type joint and I don't know man, I don't know bro, just not for me, bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just nah, great on the night. Truck fit definitely screams 2010s, though for sure it boy, just looking at this, just looking at these outfits just screams 2010s. They got jogger. They got jogger just like. Oh, jogger shorts. This, uh, oh, that was his cover art for dedication for that little skateboard thing. But, um, yeah, man, hey, if you ever had some truck fit, let me know what truck fit you had. Was it a shirt, short hat? Whatever it was? But yeah, yeah, that's my nominee for the TNT Podcast Hall of Fame. Is Truck Fit?
Speaker 2:Let me see, I mean, I guess, what I got to nominate. I got to nominate that Lil Jon $2 bill MTV concert man.
Speaker 1:It was that far.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was that far where I got a nominated man, you know, um, just all the guests. They had the whole set. It was, uh, it was one of those concerts that makes me wish I was there, you know, and I feel like that's always kind of the definition of a good concert, is that I wish I was there. So, yeah, the range of the guests, I'd say the only hiccup would be that pit bull freestyle Lord. I don't know man, when, they started booing them.
Speaker 2:No, no, I mean, they were just there to have a good time, but I don't know. That was an interesting freestyle.
Speaker 1:Wasn't, it Wasn't for you, man.
Speaker 2:Interesting freestyle man, but yeah, I'll let y'all check it out. It is on YouTube, man, so y'all could go ahead and look that up. Man Lil Jon $2 bill MTV concert. But I would say that was kind of the. If y'all are younger and don't know much about the Crunk movement, I feel like that would be An accurate representation Of Crunk in it's finest.
Speaker 1:There it is, man. So, as we always do, we're going to put a truck fit Versus the $2 Concert. Lil Jon concert on Instagram. Y'all vote and we'll see what's next inductee into the Hall of Fame. So what we got. Next Song of the Day.
Speaker 2:Song of the Day.
Speaker 1:Song of the Day. Thank you, so song of the day. So the song of the day is an interesting one. And it's interesting because, just thinking back to me, anytime I talk about like me doing my slow sets, I always talk about how I like to keep my slow sets positive and like, if it's not talking about sex, I wanted to talk about, like love, and if it's not talking about love, I wanted to, you know, at least be some kind of positive, like I don't know, some kind of positive. But what's interesting about this one song?
Speaker 1:This is like one song I would let slide. Well, I used to let slide, but then I started listening to it more as an adult I was like, yeah, this is probably not something I need to be playing on my slow set dope song but probably shouldn't be playing this on my slow set because this is not a positive song. But, um, yeah, turn up. Song of the day T-Pain, chop and Screwed. It's actually interesting that you brought up, uh, t-pain earlier today. But, yeah, t-pain, chop and Screwed. So, honestly and truthfully, I really love how T-Pain was able to use autotune and make it like when you think of autotune, that's what you think of first. You think of T-Pain.
Speaker 2:From the jump.
Speaker 1:Um, well, from the jump like when I'm Sprung came out, I kind of didn't care, neither here nor there. I didn't really like it. It was just like, oh okay, because I ain't going nor there.
Speaker 2:I didn't really like it it was just like oh, okay, Because I ain't going to lie. I didn't like.
Speaker 1:You didn't like Ice Phone.
Speaker 2:I had to grow into it Because initially I was like or you just didn't like T-Pain. Yeah, it was more so. Just like dang, like they letting this dude who can't even sing, like that was my. So let me ask you this did you feel like?
Speaker 1:did you feel like there were other people that came out with autotune and they did a lot worse and you started to appreciate him?
Speaker 2:nah, I think that was probably one of the first times that I heard autotune. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Rephrase that question, my bad no.
Speaker 1:So I was gonna say, did other people come out and like afterwards, yeah, yeah and, like you, started to appreciate that he could actually like not.
Speaker 2:Well, you know what it was. Is that his second album, epiphany? He had, um, there was a skit on there where he actually just sang like over an acoustic guitar, right, and that just showed me. I was like, oh, he knows how to sing, like he's just choosing a different route. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:So then I have that kind of earned my respect, because I was like he could actually sing so let me ask you this do you feel like if that, if that that interlude or intro never came out you, you still would have felt the same way about it, um, or do you feel like it would have just took you a little I?
Speaker 2:thought, yeah, it just would have took me a little longer, but, um, I ain't gonna, I definitely like. When he came out, I was like a little opposed to it Because I was like you got all these talented singers out here and you guys letting this guy on like who not even Right, really singing for real, for real.
Speaker 1:But yeah, buddy can really sing for real. Yeah, bro, like, I just love the production and the auto-tune. I mean honestly everything about the just love the production and the auto-tune. I mean honestly everything about the song, the production, the auto-tune, his singing Hell, even Ludacris Like. Ludacris like had a dope part Singing and rapping between T-Pain and Ludacris Definitely a dope song. So, according to Rap Genius in Chopped and Screwed, pan recruits Atlanta rapper Ludacris to collaborate and talk about their relationships, hence the name. The ladies play him and he doesn't like it and he wants to see if the audience can relate. It was released September 23, 2008 and it was track 3 on his third album, three Rings. It was released under Nappy Boy, which is under Convict, which is under Jada Question Tanaka. I just have a curious question, right? So all these labels under labels, under labels, does it make it harder for the person to make money off of an album if it's under so many, if it's a label under a label, under a label?
Speaker 2:well more minuscule remind me, or what was the sale later I convict that's a good question. Um, I mean, I know that nappy boy is t pain joint and then pain was signed to acon, which is convict, and then that was all under job. Um, does it make it harder? You said to make more money.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, it doesn't make it harder, you said to make more money I mean, yeah, it doesn't make it harder to make money, since you're like under, uh, since you're a label under a label, under a label yeah, I guess maybe in some aspects probably.
Speaker 2:But I also know that it's like a give and take, you know Cause, like If it was just T-Pain Signing a job, would he have Gotten the promotional push, as opposed to having An artist like Akon, who was like Vouching for you Right and had relations With other folks To help push you Right.
Speaker 1:So it's like so there's just pros that we just don't know about. Basically, yeah.
Speaker 2:Or that I don't know about. And I feel like you know, I always say the music industry is a relationship-based industry. I mean really with any industry it's all relationship-based Right. I mean really with any industry it's all relationship based Right. And so having those connections, you know, I feel like kind of line you up into bigger spaces, so to speak.
Speaker 1:I mean that makes sense. But in that sense wouldn't he have been OK with just being on the job?
Speaker 2:Um, that's. The thing is that sometimes when an artist is on a label and they don't have that superstar, that's like co-signing them. Then it's like I don't know if the label, when they look at their artists, drop like artists that they want to release. As far as albums, you may not be that high in the ranking. You may be a little bit lower.
Speaker 1:I'm just intrigued to see what Jive had going on at the time in 2008 that would be interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that would be interesting something to look at but anywho, back to this song.
Speaker 1:Um t-pain was the producer of the song. It had one sample in the song. There's a song by the izzy brothers called the highways of my life. Have you ever heard of that song, tanaka?
Speaker 2:no, Nah, I can't say I have Okay me neither.
Speaker 1:T-pain's music video Chop the Screw is a vibrant and energetic visual representation of the song's upbeat and catchy vibe. The video features T-Pain and Ludacris rapping and singing along to the song, surrounded by a group of dancers. The setting is brightly colored, with neon lit rooms with a club like atmosphere. The video is overall. Aesthetic is playful and fun, reflecting the strong oh hello, reflecting the song's celebratory mood. You remember seeing the video um tanaka? I feel like that was the theme of, like most of the videos in three rings it's kind of animated right.
Speaker 2:I feel like that was the theme of most of the videos in Three Rings. It was kind of animated right.
Speaker 1:I feel like all the videos were that. Can't Believe it. What was that? Oh, freeze, freeze was like that as well. I feel like you know what's crazy. I know the only video that wasn't like that was Karaoke. You remember that song? Anyway, before we reel it out any further, we'll talk. We'll talk about that at the end we'll talk about it at the end.
Speaker 1:We'll talk about it at the end. All right, but me personally, I've heard the song on the radio because that song was killing the radio. So what's interesting about this song is that. Um so, tanaka, always talk. Well, fuck, you were there. So you remember when it was me, you, breezy, shout out to DJ Breezy and his friend. And we went to that. We went to that uh little warehouse up the street from my parents house to see, like if they were, like if they were renting that place oh, yeah, yeah, yeah right so quick story on that the rink.
Speaker 2:Right right, that was the Rink. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:It used to be called. Well, I don't know if the Rink was called Hollywood, but at night it was turned into a teen club and they called it Club Hollywood. So what's funny about Club Hollywood was that my mom would never let me go until my until my uh cousin ari came and she was like, yeah, I guess you can go. I'm like mom, I've been asking you to go to this place for the longest and now you're letting me go because I have my girl cousin here. That makes no sense anyway.
Speaker 2:But she's older than you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, she's older than me um, she's on, yeah, she's on my dad's side child's already. Um, so we went to um this, we went to the joint and it's crazy as soon as you turn it, because rock bridge, stone, mountain is a fairly like good looking like suburban area right so as bro. It's literally as soon as you turned into that little parking deck, bro, all you saw was fucking Like you would've thought you were in like Cascade, like it was like Like the Impalas With the 24s on them.
Speaker 2:Wait, you had been to that ring.
Speaker 1:Yes, oh, this is why I was so. That's why, okay, so that's why I was so interested In getting it.
Speaker 2:Right Cause it was almost like Cause.
Speaker 1:That was like my real first experience in the party world.
Speaker 2:That was a testament to your childhood dude. Yeah, okay, I didn't.
Speaker 1:I don't think I knew that dude like okay, so I was like probably like ninth grade, tenth grade, yeah, so I went there and, um, I mean because I probably went to something before that, but that was like my early time, yeah, and so when I, when I went there, it was interesting because like that was the first time I really saw like girls, like dancing right like getting given dances and stuff like that and like dude, like it used to be weird, weird in there and it's.
Speaker 1:It's weird thinking back on it because I never would have thought it was weird until, like, I started going to these other parties and they didn't do what they did there, like dudes would literally pull their pants down and get a dance. Pull their pants up and keep walking the weirdest shit ever. I would never understand that. That's crazy. Like yeah, like literally in their drawers, like just get the fucking day. I ain't had balls to do no shit like that, but it got down in fucking Hollywood. That shit was crazy, but I bring all this to bring this up. So Hollywood was the first time I ever seen the slow set coming at a party. Right, and do you?
Speaker 2:want to guess what my first slow dance was Chalk and Screw.
Speaker 1:Yes, very interesting, very interesting song. Have your first song be a slow set dance. Be a slow dance, chopped and Screwed.
Speaker 2:I don't think I realized how big that record was.
Speaker 1:Dude, that record was fucking huge. Yeah, I don't think I realized Like huge. Anytime I think of Chopped and Screwed, I think of Club Hollywood. That's one of the things I think of Club Hollywood. There are three's. Anytime I think of chopped and screwed, I think of club hollywood, like well, that's one of the things I think of club hollywood. There are three songs that I think of when I think of club hollywood and it's and it's only because of like brief moments. I it wasn't, because the song was played all the time then there or nothing chopped and screwed, ain't I a milli. Those are the three songs I always think of when I think club hollywood.
Speaker 1:But, um, really back in um t-pain's, um t-pain's joint was, oh my bad. So the song charted in america and new zealand and the UK and it's gone gold. So the critics generally praised the song and the song was widely regarded as a groundbreaking moment in hip-hop, introducing a new approach to the production and vocal delivery. Many critics noted T-Pain's ability to blend singing and rapping seamlessly, creating a distinctive sound that set him apart from his competition. While some critics were initially skeptical of the autotune effect, it ultimately became a defining characteristic of the song and T-Pain's career. Overall, chop N' Screw was a critical and commercial success, solidifying t-pain status as a rising star in the hip-hop industry. So, um yeah, basically, basically, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to hear a song that had that like that shows how t-pain was that nigga In 08, I would highly recommend you listen to Chop this Groove Tanaka. What were your thoughts On Chop this Groove?
Speaker 2:It was a cool record. I listened to that project.
Speaker 1:Is that when you heard the song?
Speaker 2:Yeah, Three Rings.
Speaker 1:By the way, I'm just sorry. I keep asking too many questions. Where were you in 08? Seattle? Yeah, I'm just sorry.
Speaker 2:I keep asking too many questions when were you in 08? Seattle? Yeah, I was in Seattle. I wasn't listening to the radio like that, so that's why I can't really say Whether or not how big of a record it was. It was really just me, bro, I was just Just being a nerd bro. I was just being a nerd bro Because I remember how the singles were dropping. They would have that artwork for each single. Can't believe it. Chopped and screwed, had little animated joints of, like, the artists and the guest artists and everything. But yeah, I enjoyed the record. Yeah, I thought it was a creative concept. I thought it was a creative concept. I'm trying to think back to the record.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so like.
Speaker 2:I liked the production. I like the songwriting of it and stuff. I thought it was a creative record. It was a cool record. I don't think I necessarily loved the record, but it was a cool record though. I did enjoy it. If something were to play, I wouldn't be upset or anything. You wouldn't be opposed to it. Hearing it, I feel that play I wouldn't be upset or anything.
Speaker 1:Wouldn't be opposed to it. Yeah, hearing it, I feel that. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was my song of the day T-Pain's Chopped and Screwed. I would recommend you check it out.
Speaker 2:Go ahead and check that out, dang, that's crazy. That really blows my mind, colonel. I don't think I knew her at least, but I probably forgot that you had that connection to that rink, like that's a.
Speaker 1:I never like, I didn't even. Well, I did know that it was a skating rink, but never went to the skating rink.
Speaker 2:That's so surreal to me.
Speaker 1:Like Brian, I was hurt when that joint got closed down.
Speaker 2:I was hurt when that joint got closed For sure, um, I mean, well, it only makes sense that I keep this going. So, uh, yeah, my album of the day is gonna be Welcome to Trillville might as well keep it going it was their debut project.
Speaker 1:One side was Trillville, the other side was Lil Scrappy so are you doing both, or are you just doing the Trillville side, just the?
Speaker 2:Trillville side. So this consisted of let's see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, two, three, four, five, six songs.
Speaker 1:All righty, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:Six songs and four skits. Oh and yeah, all the skits were basically just Trueville Radio. You know what I'm saying, saying who you want to tell to get on your level. Go ahead, shout them out. You know what I'm saying. So they had all these little skits. And then the last one was uh, dookie love is that?
Speaker 1:is that about what I'm thinking?
Speaker 2:it's about and it's basically um, they were joking around, but there's an actual beat and they like made like a commercial song, but it's not even trillville, it's like little john and like some other folks and they're just I'm looking at it buck thrust, thorn hot balls and john and Johnson and Mr Easy. Yeah, so they just jogging around and they're just like.
Speaker 2:Like on some hey you there type shit, some lubricant for yeah, and that leads into Some Cut, of course. So yeah, the main singles off this project were Never Ever Get Some Crunk In your System and Some Cut. We discussed earlier in this episode that Some Cut wasn't supposed to be a single. It was supposed to be a single for their next album, but it was so hot at the time that they had to put on this project. Never Ever obviously went crazy.
Speaker 2:That's one of those crunk anthems that I feel just it's never ever is gonna have a special place in my heart because I knew it a song back when I was growing up.
Speaker 2:But when I came to Atlanta and was in the club, this DJ his name was DJ Remix, I think yeah, he, um, he used to always DJ at the club and he would, he literally had the same set every week, like folks would be upset and so I like damn, like it just kind of threw me off because I was just like I don't know, on one hand I get it, but then at the same time like I just you don't want to switch nothing. Like, yeah, like you, literally I don't know. That was kind of weird to me, but uh, he's an older dude and stuff, um, but yeah, his thing was that he would put that loop of that and then he would just be like, if you've never been to Atlanta, georgia, before, you know what I'm saying, let us welcome you. And it's like get on my level, get on my level, so um, what the fuck?
Speaker 1:is he a hype every time, or or was it just like a?
Speaker 2:I guess it depended on the crowd. Sometimes it wasn't as packed in there as, like you know, usual and stuff. So but, um, but yeah, man, um little john I think handles most of the production, if not all of it, on here. Um, don pietroville would always say how like like Lil Jon was like really, he was really like tough on them. Like he heard the record he's like nah, y'all got to go back in and you know rework, that you know, because that's not quite it Through that process. I think it made a very good introduction for them. As far as all the records, the Hood really just talks about the struggles of the Hood. Some Cut we obviously know.
Speaker 1:Shout out to the Squeaking Chair.
Speaker 2:Shout out to the squeaking chair. Shout out to the squeaking chair. And I think one of the underrated trail world records is weakest link because the hook of it takes from the the show back in the day you are the weakest link.
Speaker 2:Goodbye absolutely you are the weakest link. Goodbye, absolutely you are the weakest link, goodbye you are. Some assumptions like that, like really, yeah, it's like, I don't know, it's just uh, yeah, that was interesting, but yeah, that's uh, that was cool. And then uh bitch ninjas um, you know it's pretty self-explanatory. Uh Bitch Ninjas um, you know it's pretty self-explanatory, you know what I'm saying. Just one of those crunk records. It was cool, it fit, it fit the album, um, so, yeah, so they kept it nice and short, but, um, I feel like the only record you were able to really figure out kind of distinction of the group members would be some cut. I feel like that kind of displayed each member.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could definitely tell the difference.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I could definitely tell the difference, you know, whereas the other ones I feel like, yeah, it's just, it's so crunk and turnt that it's just like.
Speaker 2:We don't really know who's rapping right now, but we're all hype right now, you know so. But but yeah, man, shout out to Trill, though they definitely left their footprint on the game with this, um, and I don't know, it's just it, just it amazes me. It continues to amaze me about Atlanta is that Atlanta really has this knack of like creating these superstars who are just like, of creating these superstars who are just super hot, but it's not necessarily for a long time. They'll have a year or two run and then somebody else will pop up or something like that. So it's good and bad, because it's good in the fact that there's a whole bunch of different folks that get to eat, but then it's tough because, like, they don't have that big of a run, you know. But it's cool to see when they have, like these reunion concerts, you know, and these artists come together and they perform like their hits, you know, and the city acknowledges it. You know, I. These artists come together and they perform like they're hits, you know, and the city acknowledges it. You know, I think that's cool. But shout out to Trillville.
Speaker 2:Lil LA, don P and Mr Funkadelic, or Dirty Mouth was the name. Dirty Mouth, aka Mr Funkadelic. Yep, dirty Mouth was the name. Dirty Mouth aka Mr Funkadelic, yeah. So yeah, man, they, you know, wanted to go check out their Instagram. They're doing cruises, you know, performing on cruises, so you know. So they're still doing their thing. I actually would be interested in going to a Trillville concert, I ain't gonna lie. But uh, I saw a recent clip of Don P just talking that shit about what he got on stage. He was like hell, yeah, we, we just murdered that shit why. You know what I'm saying. We ain't on your list, man. Fuck your list, man. You know what I'm saying. We shut that shit down. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:So no, just had a flashback to something I probably shouldn shouldn't share. That we're going to move on to. I'll share with you when we log off. We're going to move on to DJ Talk Tanaka. This goes back to the Kind of goes back to the DJ Unk situation. But you know, quick scenario You're the DJ. The guy comes up to you hey, insert name here. Artist Is here. He said he'll perform one song. The song is up to you. What song are you choosing? Just give me some names of some people and just tell me what song are you choosing for them to that they're performing. If you want to give a, why you can. If not, whatever.

So yeah, you asked for two. You're all right, bro. You? You kind of yeah, we didn't pay this, we paid a walk through for you, bro, that's all two chains.
Speaker 2:Um no, it's just. It's just funny to me because, like everybody respond refers to the song incorrectly. It's called Birthday Girl, just like all the older folks. Birthday song they call it.
Speaker 1:Birthday Girl.
Speaker 2:No, I said it wrong.
Speaker 1:What do they?
Speaker 2:call it. They call it Big Booty Hoes.
Speaker 1:Oh really, people call it Birthday Song, or they'll call it it's your Birthday.
Speaker 2:You know it's cool. It's cool you can have the Big Booty Ho, that's so cool, but we also got to have that real. You know what I'm saying? And I'm just like I just be dying laughing Because I never refer to that song as Big Booty Ho. You dig, I never refer to that song as Big Booty Ho. I refer to it as a birthday song.
Speaker 1:That sounds like an oddly specific one, but I guess it's true. By the way, you're more than welcome to throw out an artist if you can think of one. We don't have to go back and forth because I'm just going to go down this list. 21 Savage don't goddamn go down this list um 21 savage, um dirty k.

He only has to do like one verse and one hook. One verse and he's out because he don't want to be, he don't even want to perform anyway. Roscoe Dash the headline freestyle For everybody to be mad as hell. I'd be like, yes, roscoe, but no, if I'm playing for the crowd, I feel like you got to do no hands. I feel like that's undefeated.

Speaker 1:That's a tough one. I'm gonna go with. See, here's the thing. Right, that's one of those things, okay, so I don't know if I was talking about this on the podcast, but I remember I told you that shout out to the Marquise Lounge. By the way, I had did the joint and they were like hey, bro, you gonna play some Offset Offset's. Mom is here. So you know, you play some stuff, but it's interesting when you, when you interesting when someone is in the building and you have to keep in mind that these people probably don't want to hear people that they're not okay with. So I was like, probably can't play any Cardi B today, probably don't want to hear that. So I say that to say this I probably would play Cash it, but I don't think her and the baby are on good terms, so probably wouldn't play that song, I don't. Ah, that's, that's a hard one and that means I can't play, cry baby either.
Speaker 1:Um, I ain't gonna lie, I probably would play realer. I ain't gonna lie, I probably would play Riller. I ain't gonna lie, I fuck with that song, I fuck with Riller.
