Music In The Blood Ep. 17: Pass The Mic: Who Really Deserved The Super Bowl Stage?
The latest Super Bowl halftime show announcement has sparked a cultural firestorm - Kendrick Lamar will take the stage in New Orleans, leaving hometown hero Lil Wayne on the sidelines. Our passionate debate unpacks why this decision makes sense from a performance perspective while acknowledging the disappointment many fans feel.
We dive deep into what separates these two legendary artists as performers. Kendrick's theatrical approach creates immersive experiences rather than just shows - from his Grammy performances to the Mr. Morale tour, he consistently delivers conceptual, visually stunning presentations. Meanwhile, Wayne's legendary catalog and influence are undeniable, but do they translate to the specific demands of the Super Bowl stage?
The conversation shifts to recent releases that have captured our attention. Future's latest project brings that vintage trap energy we've missed, with heavy 808s and standout tracks like "Plutoski" and "Ocean" that feel like a return to form. T Grizzly's ambitious 24-track album starts strong but struggles to maintain its quality throughout its lengthy runtime.
J Cole's position in the ongoing Drake/Kendrick saga provides another fascinating thread. His recent verses addressing why he stepped back from the conflict reveal an artist prioritizing relationships over competition - a stance that divides us as listeners and fans. Does this make him wise or unwilling to fully engage with the competitive spirit of hip-hop?
We close with a nostalgic revisiting of the classic "Problems" track, comparing Drake and Kendrick's iconic verses and reflecting on how that collaboration represents a different era in rap relationships. Whether you're team Kendrick or team Wayne, this episode captures the passion and complexity of modern hip-hop discussions. Join the conversation and let us know where you stand on these cultural debates!
All right, man, you ready? Okay, okay, what it do, what it do. Welcome to another installment of Music in the Blood. We talk about music and things of that nature. Our opinion doesn't matter, we'll be giving to you any way, the left me, lorenzo, and you know, last time we was on we talked about a lot of stuff, but last time we was on, like literally the day after, here comes Kendrick headlining Super Bowl. A lot of controversy about it because obviously, in LA, dre got to do it in LA and people thought that that was the norm, which it's not, and they wanted Lil Wayne to be the headliner. That wasn't the case, obviously, right now, kendrick Lamar is the name for 2024. There's no dispute about that. It shouldn't be. And what?
Speaker 1:that said, it just seems that I get what people are coming at, but at the same time, I feel like they're just trying to. I don't know. I feel like people want too much. The Super Bowl is for high class artists. Not saying he's not, but it's like why not choose him? You know what I mean. Why not choose?
Speaker 2:him.
Speaker 1:We don't know, he could have brought up such and such, but the way that everything went, it's kind of like. Now I'm just like it's kind of pity, now More so than like yo, I'm going to get Wayne on there, but his camp and even himself was like I'm hurt about the saturation. And, yeah, you know, nikki got on twitter, you know, doing her thing, trying to stand up for her. You know, I mean her big bro and whatever, and I can appreciate it, but I just feel like that fight did not need to happen. That's who they chose, you know. Now, it's like.
Speaker 1:You know, obviously, for the longest time, there wasn't no rappers headlining. You know what I mean. You know what I mean. We had Shakira and Maroon 5 and people of those natures, you know, and every once in a while we'll get someone that we know. Yeah, pop artists yeah, you know. And every once in a while we'll get someone that we know, yeah, pop artist. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1:So why not be just happy that, okay, we got another hip-hop artist to be on that main stage representing the culture? Do I think that it's going to be a show? Yes, do I think that Kendrick can put on a better show than Lil Wayne Absolutely, because we've seen it before, even at the pop out. That thing felt crazy, even at your home. Why not have him come out and do that on the you know the biggest nights you know in America. You know what I'm saying. So I just, you know, no shade to Wayne man. We love Wayne, everyone loves Wayne. But if I had to choose, especially what's been going on, you gotta choose Kendrick. It don't. Why wouldn't you? It's a no brainer to me.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I think Lil Wayne will get his chance. It's just not gonna be right now, exactly To me. I don't know. I think Lil Wayne will get his chance. It's just not going to be right now, exactly you know, like we still got more years, so you know what I'm saying. He could be at any point in time.
Speaker 1:It could happen at any point in time, and that is wholeheartedly correct. Just because it's in New Orleans, it just have to be him. Like I said, that's never happened. You know what I mean? That's never happened. I don't know why they let Wichita do it, but they just did. That was just what it was. That was their decision. Yeah, and that's just what it is. We've been having black folk headlining for the past what? Five years? Why not be happy about rihanna usher? You know, I'm saying uh, uh, dr dre. I don't know when beyonce did it. I don't know if that was like the time where he had rock nation that just got into, you know, dealing with the halftime shows and picking these artists. But you know, all that to say is let's just be happy that we're being represented but I don't know at the same time, if it is out of pettiness and somebody.
Speaker 1:Why would jay-z be?
Speaker 2:petty. No, I'm like if we didn't let Lil Wayne get on stage and it's at his hometown. It's like, is somebody lighting a fire? You know what I'm saying to that pettiness, or it just is what it is. You know, I don't understand what you're trying to say, basically saying like adding fuel to the fire.
Speaker 1:What fire, though? Adding fuel to what fire?
Speaker 2:To this whole beef thing thing, going back and forth.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you think? You think he didn't get chosen because of the beef?
Speaker 2:it could be a I mean numerous things.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying that as an example no, I don't think that is at all. I think it's just a business decision. Who's gonna? Who's gonna? Who's going to have people watching? You know, for the love of wayne every, a lot of people know wayne, but right now everybody know who's kendrick lamar is. You want to have people watching? You know, get forget, forget the, forget the, just the the culture. At the point you still have to do a job, the you pick. You want them to do great numbers, as previous years, or even better. You know what I'm saying. No shade to Lil Wayne, you know, but I just feel like I truly don't feel like Wayne could put on a performance like Kendrick, and that's just how I feel.
Speaker 2:Wait, why do you feel that way?
Speaker 1:Because I've seen Wayne's shows. I've seen him and it's just him rapping to his music, to where, hey, hey, hey, no, son, you need to go downstairs.
Speaker 1:Go downstairs, go downstairs. Thank you, love ya To. Whereas Dot, he has a whole. It's like an experience, you know, and maybe I haven't been to a lot of Lil Wayne or I haven't seen a lot of Lil Wayne, and maybe I haven't been to a lot of Lil Wayne or I haven't seen a lot of Lil Wayne, but you know, the Mr Morale joint, the pop off his Grammy performances, the Grammy performances, bet Hip Hop Award performances. Every time he perform it's like it's a whole theatrical thing. This boy came out chain gang talking about you know, it's just different, it's just different, it's just different. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I still think Lil Wayne can still perform.
Speaker 1:He can perform. Yes, he can perform. Put on a performance. We don't need a performance, we need a motherfucking experience.
Speaker 2:Performance, experience. He can do.
Speaker 1:The Super Bowl experience.
Speaker 2:Still very well Up to par.
Speaker 1:Don't think so. I've done my research, I've looked at him. I've looked at his past stuff. Like, yeah, can he? People is going to rock out to him because of Lil Wayne. But I don't know. I'm trying to see something crazy. I'm trying to, you know, because even when Kendrick Lamar had that little snippet with Dr Dre shit, he had a whole situation. You know what I mean. I don't know. I'm taking out the. Oh, it's his hometown. I I took that shit out because I didn't even realize it was in LA. I was just like, oh, it's Dr Dre on that bitch, I'm about to watch it. I didn't even really care about the city, I didn't. I didn't even put two and two together. I was just like, oh shit, dr Dre, snoop. They brought out 50 Cent, eminem, mary J Blige and Kendrick. That's crazy, shit fire.
Speaker 1:You know what does it matter? Why does it matter that bad? Why did that hurt people so bad? And that's what I didn't understand when it's something that's not even a real thing, that was a one-time occurrence, one time People have to do a job, right, there's no hard feelings in it. And then you got Drake saying he declined Okay, that's cool. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Didn't really care for that type of information. I don't even know why. Why did you even say that it don't matter? Because that felt like, oh yeah, I could have done it already. It's like, bro relax, no one wants to hear from you, gang Relax, and that's what puts more fuel to the fire, because now everything Kendrick or Drake or any of those sides do is like it's just a comparison, and I feel like a lot in that. You know, going off of that, I just feel like a lot of motherfuckers is taking things too deep. Now, you know, it's like no one ever in the world was like oh, I just did something, just because. So you really don't like them, I don't have no problem with it, I just just wanted to see what's gonna happen. You know what I mean. It was a throwaway. He did what he did and I came back, you know. But I feel like you know, it has to be too intricate for people, and now people really chose a side. And now it's a weird thing. I don't think it was no spite. Why would he hate on Lil Wayne? He paid his taxes, he helped him out in a lot of jams. Why would I just be like nah, not Wayne, like you know, of course he was considered, but let's think about it logically.
Speaker 1:Kendrick is the guy right now. If you want to believe it or not, he is that. He is the oddest rapper right now. You know what I mean, and he was already the greatest, one of the greatest now, since he did what he did and things went out the way it went out. Now he is the guy. You hear his name. You hear you hear a, you know what I mean a kendrick pencil drop bro.
Speaker 1:People are, you know, like it's a freaking stampede, ready to have an opinion or say something about it, either other side or his side. You know, but I don't think it's that deep, you know, I just feel like his camp made it that deep. You know, having a say-so in something is a very, very luxury thing. You know what I mean. So when you have a say-so to put a person in a culture on a big stage to do great, you know what I mean it's a big thing. But when people are like, oh, me, me, me, and it should have been me and da, da, da, da, da, and then it kind of gets watered down. You know this should be a high honor. It was given to Kendrick.
Speaker 1:No one hates Lil Wayne. Why are we over here being weird about it? Just, I don't know, I didn't get it. I felt like it was a little extra, I felt like it didn't make. Didn't make anything better other than just, you know, more hate, more this and that, more comparison, and that only helps the people like us. But you know that talk about it and shit like that make money off of things happening in the culture. But I didn't feel like it was needed.
Speaker 1:Man, wayne will always be great. Wayne will never be anything but great in my eyes. You know, he was my first rapper where I'm like yo, this is, this is different. The transition from go dj to you know, let the, you know three, three-peat, it's just. And then so on and so forth. It's just like man, the Cedars dude, do what he does, he's respected. That will never not be the case. He just didn't get picked. It ain't that deep to me. I don't know For you. I think you feel like it could have. You know what I mean. Maybe it should have. But you know, I feel like we about to get one of the greatest Super Bowl shows ever and he'll probably show it. He'll probably bring up Wayne.
Speaker 2:Did you just put words in my mouth?
Speaker 1:I said I didn't say that's what you said. I said I think you think that's what I feel. I think that's what you were talking about. You never, you didn't really.
Speaker 2:Because I think that's what you were talking about. You never, you didn't really.
Speaker 1:Because I was agreeing with you that Kendrick right now is one of the hottest artists right now. But when I was talking about how I didn't feel like you know, you felt like Lil Wayne can be on the same caliber of production in terms of performance. Why not, you think?
Speaker 2:that he can have. His team is strong. His team is strong, okay. And then he puts out great performances, probably not as exhilarating as Kendrick Lamar would. That's what we need. That's what we want. But it's like thinking about his songs.
Speaker 1:What could he play?
Speaker 2:More fire, more fire in the back, more explosions.
Speaker 1:What could he play, though? What do you think he could play?
Speaker 2:He could play, he could play, he could play. He got a lot of hits.
Speaker 1:For a Super Bowl audience.
Speaker 2:I know he's going to play he's going to play some Carter 3. He's going to play at least some songs from Carter 4. And if not, he got his old fans, so we can go back to that go DJ area.
Speaker 1:We don't need old fans, bro. We need somebody that's going to be universal.
Speaker 2:Lil Wayne. Everybody should know Lil Wayne, If everybody down there knows Jay-Z, they know Lil Wayne, If the world don't know Lil Wayne that's why, no, everybody don't know Jay-Z for rapping like that.
Speaker 1:You understand, it's white folks out there, mexicans, all type of different. They don't know Jay-Z Music.
Speaker 2:Jay they don't that, don't know. Jay-z Musically.
Speaker 1:That don't know Jay-Z Musically? No, not everybody. It's a it's a. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:That's why I keep, if you a fan of hip hop.
Speaker 1:Okay, I have to let you know that. Okay, it's different from being a pop star and being a rap star, or if you like music and you're a little bit more diverse in the culture. Not everybody's diverse dude.
Speaker 2:Oh, so everybody's just going to be like, all right, boom, let's go see Kendrick Lamar. Not everybody's fronting on Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 1:Everybody will say let's go see Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 2:There are people who would not see Kendrick Lamar and there are people who would, and that's the same with all artists.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to say I feel like I do not think that the people that you're talking about is that inclusive in knowing a lot of Lil Wayne's discography Okay, and I can say that with a whole heart, I probably bet on it I don't feel like a lot of people that say they listen to music really know Lil Wayne like that, Even Jay-Z like that. I'm just saying I don't think. I don't think so. I don't think the Super Bowl audience is inclined that much with Lil Wayne's music as you think.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying in the general sense.
Speaker 1:There are people who listen to him, or even rap in general. Rap in general. Not even put Lil Wayne out there. Rap in general.
Speaker 2:There's multiple streaming places that you can find these artists.
Speaker 1:Yes, but you have to understand that there's going to be what almost.
Speaker 2:And we can go from the back of the day to now. There's going to be a whole bunch of Maybe not the young people, but there's still people around 30s and up who know these artists.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to say that's the whole reason why I'm like yo. Let's just take a win-win, because the fact that I don't feel like a lot of people uh, listen to rap and actually understand the raps and like we do since we're you know what I mean, this that's our genre, if you would say, I feel like what I'm saying it's not obscene like it's, it's a real thing. So to say that, oh yeah, I don't feel like everybody that's gonna be watching the Super Bowl is gonna really care to tune in to Lil. I don't feel like everybody that's going to be watching the Super Bowl is going to really care to tune in to Lil Wayne, I don't feel like I'm talking out of my ass and I feel like since, yeah, a lot of people like Kendrick, a lot of people like Wayne, but the bigger thing about it is Kendrick has been the face. People have went back and listened to Kendrick's music, so now it's fresh on people's minds.
Speaker 2:That's all I'm saying you know and I'm not disagreeing with that because it's.
Speaker 1:It's a difference from, like a pop artist, where they're seeing and they're, they're, they're pushing to certain demographic, all demographics, to enjoy the music, whereas rap is very introspective. It's very different. We talk about things that these white folks, or whoever is listening, is not ever seen before, ever heard before. They don't understand what we're talking about. So, yes, when I think that, oh yeah, they don't know Jay-Z's catalog like that, they don't know Wayne's catalog, probably barely know Kendrick's catalog, I'm not talking on my ass, but they still know some of these artists yeah, they sit on the artists.
Speaker 1:So these songs that they're going to lock, into, they'll play. Lollipop, 6 foot, 7 foot maybe, why not? That's two songs, it's a whole 30 minute Super Bowl. We still got more songs.
Speaker 2:Come on, white people don't know, go DJ. No, you think they do Millie. No, oh my gosh, you think they do Millie. Millie, yeah, maybe. Or the one that's about the bank, what is it? Yeah, yo fuck.
Speaker 1:And then it's another thing you think all these it's a Super Bowl, with probably not even the Saints in it. So you think a lot of New Orleans people are going to even be in attendance to really rock out to the songs that you're talking about, and plus, he's probably not even going to play all of this, we still got people that you rock with.
Speaker 2:He's going to bring his team, I guarantee you. He's going to bring Nicky He'll probably be better off.
Speaker 1:He'll probably be better off doing his features than his own music than his own music and people will still love it. They would have Well yeah, they're still going to love it. I don't understand what your point is. I don't feel like you're really going at my point.
Speaker 2:I'm not going at your point. I'm just saying you're speaking, you're thinking what I, you're saying what I'm thinking. Try it, john.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't. No, yes, you said, I said what I said, I said what I said. And then we started talking about something else. No, we started talking about something else.
Speaker 2:I'm just. I agree with you that Kendrick is hot right now and, yes, it would be logical like, oh, he's the popular artist right now, let's put him out there. But it's like saying that Lil Wayne can't do a great job, not as good as Kend saying that Lil Wayne can't do a great job. That's crazy, wow, that Lil Wayne can't do a great job, just a big performance.
Speaker 1:No, I don't think that he'll be. I don't think he can. I think Kendrick's production with PG Lane and his homie Dave Free is fire. They do they thing, man. I don't know what you want me to tell you.
Speaker 2:Both would be a great experience.
Speaker 1:It probably would For us, because we grew up on Wayne. We'd love to see him Okay, but I'd rather see Kendrick and what he's about to do in the production Okay, but I'd rather see Kendrick and what he's about to do in his production.
Speaker 2:Okay, so you'd rather see Kendrick? I understand that. That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 1:opinions right, but that's not what you were talking about.
Speaker 2:I didn't disagree with anything you said.
Speaker 1:I'm just proving a point. You said you don't think that he can have a same production. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2:I said I agree that Kendrick would put on. He's a hottest artist right now. He's hot right now. Let's put it. He's the guy that we see right now, lil Wayne, I mean. Of course it's like undeniable, let's put him out there. But it's like that's a redirect to what I just said, and I'm not saying that he wouldn't put on a great performance. He'll put on a great performance. Why not? He's Lil Wayne. He's been doing this for years. Why not Shoot? Kendrick would enjoy it, yeah.
Speaker 2:So it's like, well, everybody would be like, ah, everybody would go crazy still. But even though we know it's going to be Kendrick, we're going to have a great time because he's going to give us an experience, an experience of performance, they're still going to entertain us. What does it matter?
Speaker 1:I ain't going to lie. If it came to my table, I'm choosing Kendrick.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And I feel like you kind of ran around and tried to switch up your words a little bit.
Speaker 2:I'm not trying to, I'm just making sure you're not thinking what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1:I haven't, I said what I said that one time and I haven't brought up what I thought you were thinking since then. But I definitely feel like you, kind of I don't know.
Speaker 2:It seems like you kind of spun it a little bit. I'm just making sure that you know it would just be just as a greatest performance as it would be next to Kendrick. Now, as a popular opinion or what bias going with Kendrick, okay, that's fine, but we're not going to undermine Lil Wayne at all.
Speaker 1:I didn't.
Speaker 2:Alright, I'm just making sure, because you're thinking that, oh, he's thinking that, no so you're saying that, you're saying that Kendrick was the better choice yes, no, I'm just saying he's an obvious choice right now, just as you think he's an obvious choice.
Speaker 1:He's an obvious choice right now. A better choice.
Speaker 2:No, just as you think he's an obvious choice, he is an obvious choice. It's like damn, he's rocking right now. Let's go with him, Even though that's at another artist's place.
Speaker 1:But we already confirmed that that's not a thing that happened one time. Fine, okay, so you can't.
Speaker 2:I don't want no slander on Lil Wayne. No one said slander on Lil Wayne, all right, but you can go with your bias, that's cool, I'm not biased.
Speaker 1:Yes, you are, because I have an opinion.
Speaker 2:You just said that you would take Kendrick over Lil Wayne To perform. Yes, Okay, how's that bias. You love Kendrick. No, no, no, no no, it wasn't ever about my love If it was on my team, if it was on my team and if that play talk came on to me and I saw Kendrick or Lil Wayne. I'm going with Kendrick Because it would be the better choice Because you rock with Kendrick more than you do with Wayne.
Speaker 1:I knew Lil Wayne before I knew.
Speaker 2:Kendrick, and then you love Kendrick more than you do Lil Wayne.
Speaker 1:Never said that.
Speaker 2:It's obvious. I said.
Speaker 1:What I said was I feel like it would be better production-wise and performance-wise from Kendrick. That's what I said, why? And then I was like okay, first off, and then another thing he's hot right now. Like okay, first off, and then another thing, he's hot right now. So right at the point of people learning about kendrick and looking back on his art, his music, which they probably never listened to or didn't understand, now they have a different type of what you call it. Okay, that's another point. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:And then the obvious point is that he had an amazing career I'm not career a year right now okay so these three things off the rib would tell me okay, I'm picking this guy over that guy and there's no beef with that. Okay, it's just, that's the decision, that was the better decision. Okay, so that's what I said. Don't say okay, like you didn't just think that I'm, you just call me biased, when that was not what I said. I'm not, though, I just told you three things.
Speaker 2:We can go back Three videos back, yeah, or even more.
Speaker 1:And say what.
Speaker 2:He's the only person he's just talking about. It's going to be.
Speaker 1:Kendrick, because I, okay, yeah, but that don't mean I'm biased. You're going to be biased about it how, and it's cool.
Speaker 1:It's fine. How does that? It's fine, give me three points that make you think that it would be better to choose Lil Wayne over Kendrick. Then, other than the fact that that's his hometown, don't give me that one. Give me three things that you think that would be way more that would make him a better choice over than Kendrick. Literally like, just be very, very Just, straight on with it. I don't wanna. Oh, because it didn't. No just straight blank, just straight blank.
Speaker 2:Give me three reasons why I'm not going to. I'm not going to.
Speaker 1:Because you can't. Yeah, see, you call me biased. I'm saying you can't. You know what I mean. Because it don't make no sense.
Speaker 2:I just said I'm not going to yeah.
Speaker 1:Because you know what I mean, cause it don't make no sense. I just said I'm not going to yeah.
Speaker 2:Cause you can't, because everything speaks for itself. It's like what Everything speaks for itself.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you're agreeing.
Speaker 2:We knew. Thank you, I just agreed that it's just undeniable this to pick Kendrick For how?
Speaker 1:hot, he is right now, alright, so boom, that's it. That's a force, that's all I said. That. That was your add-on to what I was saying I didn't even say nothing.
Speaker 2:The point is, I think that he'll agree with me, because what, what, yes, that's what you just said.
Speaker 1:You think he'll agree with me.
Speaker 2:Isn't that what you just said?
Speaker 1:No, I said let's put that add-on to what I just said about that would be the undeniable choice. That's what you just said.
Speaker 2:I'm going all the way back to what I had until I had spoken. Yeah, I think Because you said oh, I think, I think that's what he would.
Speaker 1:So why do you keep bringing that up? And I said one thing, and then you already we start talking about other things.
Speaker 2:Because once you say I think about like, oh, I think you think the same about Lil Wayne. What?
Speaker 1:That's not what I said. That's literally not what I said, but we going to move on Because I feel like you're kind of scrambling right now. It's cool, you did it. I asked you to prove me wrong. You know what I mean. I'm going to ask you to give me reasons why Lil Wayne should be in spot.
Speaker 2:You said oh, you said what I could think. You said give you reasons why he would be in spot. But I just said I agree with you. Why not pick?
Speaker 1:Kendrick, you said he's the undeniable choice.
Speaker 2:That's why I said I didn't want to give you no reasons, because I already agreed with you.
Speaker 1:Okay then. So why you keep calling me biased, though? Because you are biased, I am not biased. That's facts. That's not facts. That is facts, not facts.
Speaker 2:Alright, we will. If we have another video and you say something about Kendrick yeah, being up there, then that proves my facts.
Speaker 1:But I've said great things about anybody that we talk about, unless I don't like them. I don't like them. That's not biased. I feel like you're just trying to say words and they don't have no way to. They don't have no way to. You're just saying things. I'm just saying things.
Speaker 1:You do no, it's cool, I'll pick up some clips. Show me some clips. Show me some clips. And I guarantee you you probably said oh yeah, I think that too. Guarantee it. Guarantee you probably doubled down what I said about Kendrick. Guarantee it that I doubled down, I guarantee you. You say yeah.
Speaker 2:When have I doubled down on Kendrick?
Speaker 1:I guarantee you anything that I've said about Kendrick, you'll be like, yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel that To Kendrick would be like, yeah, I could see that, yeah, I feel that. But to say I double down on Kendrick.
Speaker 1:Yes, you'll concur Exactly what I said In any clips that you see. That's not what double down means what does double down mean? That double down means that, yeah, I feel the same way too. No, what the fluff.
Speaker 2:Double down, like I feel that don't even equally. To double down meaning I'm about to like, slander him, I'm about to put him under a rug, like I'm not putting him up there too. He's cool, he's nice.
Speaker 1:That's not what double down mean bro. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:Alright, alright cool, it's cool. I just it's just, it's fine.
Speaker 1:Double down comes from like a betting term.
Speaker 2:Lil Wayne is nice. Lil Wayne is nice, but I would choose Kendrick too. I would. I would choose Kendrick too. Okay, and as of right now, I was just looking at him yeah, I would choose him. I'm not disagreeing with you on that.
Speaker 1:The way that everything came around. It seemed like you were.
Speaker 2:Because I want to give at least like my points on why Lil Wayne you know he should be up there no one's saying he's not. Okay, that's all I want. That's all I wanted to get out of you, because it's just like Kendrick Kendrick, kendrick All right, cool, we know that. But don like Kendrick Kendrick Kendrick all right, cool, we know that, but don't slide, don't, don't, don't like we, we won't choose Lil Wayne, we wouldn't not in this fashion.
Speaker 1:No, all right, we wouldn't right now, because if we would have, chosen, then we would have just chose Lil Wayne, yes, okay, but when it came up to him, it just didn't. The whole topic was about how do you feel about the choices, right? So, yes, I'm going to talk about Kendrick. You know what I mean. I'm going to talk about why I feel like the decision made sense. So I don't understand why you, how you call me biased, how you saying all these other words and it just doesn't. You know it doesn't make sense. Okay, you know it doesn't make sense. What happened? It wasn't filming Shit, thank you, thank you. You, that's right. Gotta press the record button again. Don't go back. I wish the motherfuckers came with an auto remote. Um, but to conclude on everything, all in all, little wayne will forever be a legend. He'll ever be amazing.
Speaker 1:These are just my opinions about the status of right now. Nothing against his career or anything like that. So you know, I'm gonna let that, let that be what it is. Uh, I'm looking forward to the super bowl, just looking forward to the Super Bowl halftime. You know what I mean. I still don't. I still don't understand why it's such a big deal, because I swear like I just don't. I feel like we're in the spot to do so. We should just be happy for what's going on. But if we want to get real critical you know what I mean then the words will fly and somebody's going to have to be put down over somebody else, and that's just how debating goes. But all in all, these people are phenomenal artists. They deserve everything they got because you know they feed us music and we love them for that. Anyways, I don't even know what the next topic was.
Speaker 2:Forgot Most of all the releases that came out.
Speaker 1:I don't even know what the next topic was. Forgot Most of all the releases that came out. I don't even know Shoot Like Future, we going Future, oh, future, future is. Some people didn't like it. I enjoyed a couple songs off of it. I thought it was fire. The beats was crazy. The beats was nasty. Real, 808, heavy, real, just in your chest. Feels like some old, just vintage Future and I appreciate it. So three albums from Future in a year and all doing great.
Speaker 1:All I can say is there's music out there People saying, oh, you don't feed this music. You can't say that about Future, because you got three different albums where you can get some Future on it. You know what I'm saying? Three different types of Future In my eyes singing, rapping and trap. You know what I mean Future. So I mess with it. And whatever he do next, i'm'm gonna be ready for it too, but right now I'm about to. I'm I'm putting some more plays on the show. Definitely, if you didn't, did you listen to it? No, I didn't get the chance to listen to it. I apologize. Yeah, definitely get to listen to that. It's a cool little, you know. I mean you want to check your speakers, you know. I mean put some of that on type joint, but uh, yeah, I really messed with that one. Uh, I think you was talking about did you say you listened to the t grizzly joints yeah, the t grizzly joint was uh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the album was nice, uh, featuring a lot of people.
Speaker 2:He got a lot of people um you said it was like 24 tracks, right yeah, yeah, g herbal on that because, like the start of the album, how he started that album, it was nice. Yeah, uh, it was nice, uh, it wasn't. Until I got into, I believe, the 11th track, like pull it up, the 11, 11th track. That's where everything started getting kind of weird. The beats weren't as great or as solid because it was this one track. It was like a pretty Ricky track, you know, five in the morning and he had a girl on it. Her name is like Tink. No, that's not a good record?
Speaker 2:That's not a good record at all you didn't like that one? No, that was to me horrible, like you should have never got her on there.
Speaker 1:My favorite track on that Future joint is the Plutoski and Ocean. Those are my two favorite ones it's not going to happen and Ocean those are my two favorite ones. Yo, I was telling Alicia I was like yo. I swear to you, future J is the only one I will allow this for. Like, I don't know what it is about him. Like anyone else, I'm like yo. What is going on? But for some reason it was it just hit you know, what I mean?
Speaker 1:because he and it's like yo, what is going on right now? But it's so hard to be, it's just you know. But yeah, that's my favorite track. And then ocean is my second favorite one. I bump those like every day I probably I'm listening to 200 type shit okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Oh, and uh j cole, you know coming out with like two tracks uh following, I believe, this month and last month, with uh t grizzly, and and the other one, uh called um antonio.
Speaker 1:I think poor, poor antonio, oh, yeah, the one that just came out, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, solid performance, blow for Blow with Tee Grizzley Amazing. We can't hate on this. J Cole's verses, at least I can't Like phenomenal brother Still waiting on the fallout.
Speaker 1:It definitely gives you a To stir on to the J Cole situation. It definitely gives you a hope that onto the J Cole situation. It definitely gives you a hope that, okay, what we're about to get in store for seems like promising. So I'm excited for that. But to dig deep into some of those lyrics on that latest one we'll talk about, you have any more you want to talk about T Grizzly before we move on.
Speaker 2:I like Swerve, the 10th track, uh, I think yeah, right before it was like the vibe of it, though.
Speaker 1:Was it like just hard hitting?
Speaker 2:was it more smooth, like all the hard seven g herbal um, yeah, it was smooth, like I in the beginning, like beginning to I think I lasted to like to the 15th track.
Speaker 1:It was amazing, but then it started to get like real slow you know cause I think the one he did with, I think, chris Brown was like something I thought was a little different, cause it was more production than him just rapping on a, you know, detroit type beat, you know what I mean. So I really, I really like that one. Is that one on there, the one with Chris Brown? Or that was a different single for a different track? Maybe I'm too far back. Yeah, yeah, not this one. Oh, shoot my bad, scratch that. Maybe that was a different song.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I don't give a fuck You're talking about that one, I-D-G-A-F, I think so.
Speaker 1:I thought it was probably a couple months old in terms of single-wise, but yeah, I'm going to listen to it. I'm going to listen to what it sounds like because I liked that one. I thought it was different. You know what I mean, bringing different layers and stuff. I think it was another girl on that one too, singing right. So, yeah, that one was pretty cool. I liked that track. I'm definitely going to have to tap in with that, but overall, I think the future one, the latest future, it was about a seven.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean I feel like it's a solid seven.
Speaker 1:I feel like it does what it needs to. After everything else he was doing it. Just you know what I mean. Boom, no Metro, just different type of producers. I ain't hear no Metro tags, so I don't know. But it was nice, I messed with it, it was a cool little thing. It wasn't too bad to me. You know, not all the tracks is gonna be for everybody, but it's, it's just future, you know. I mean take it, take it how it is. I guess you know something to ride, to bump to. You know, I mean just to swerve to a ride, like you know.
Speaker 2:I mean okay, I want to ask uh, do you believe or not believe? Do you think that it was Better than what? Is it Metro? Metro's album.
Speaker 1:I don't. Well, it's a mixtape, so, but in it I don't. Yeah, I don't think. No, oh, never mind.
Speaker 2:I feel, like I feel like.
Speaker 1:I feel like, cause it's Mixtape Pluto.
Speaker 2:I don't know, it could be a project.
Speaker 1:You can call it a project, but it was just.
Speaker 2:Mixtape Pluto. Or let me say something, I guess a little bit more to answer the question Like the sound, Do you think the sound is better? Like saying what I mean by sound meaning, like, like musically, musically sound, like everything is just nice, it flowed I feel like, musically it sounded like if it fitted more future.
Speaker 1:You know, okay, you know what I mean instead of future trying to be a little bit more musically as, if possible, it just, you know, with the, with the metro and shit like that, how you know it's. You know it was a long-lived album to where I think this one I don't even know how many songs was on there, but this just felt like a, a mixtape by future. You know what I mean different songs, not really nothing correlating with each other, just mixtape pluto you'll hear throughout the.
Speaker 1:You know the songs and shit like that, just him doing his thing, and I can appreciate that. And you know, if you fuck with you, fuck with you, don't? You don't I fuck with future. So I, I enjoyed it, I, you know, I I got my songs out of there and sometimes I'll keep it playing because I I download the whole album, you know. I mean some people just pick their favorite song, so if it plays the next track and I don't move it, and you know I mean I ain't shit, fuck it.
Speaker 1:Well, you're here now, you now you know what I mean, yeah, but, um, going on to the J Cole situation, there was a couple bars in there about how, you know, he saw what the beef between Kendrick and Drake was going to be like, pulled himself out. You know what I mean and how it made him feel and things of that nature. I can. I, understanding your feelings and expressing them is a beautiful thing and I, where I get drawn for is that I'm comparing myself to him. I wouldn't have did that. Nah, I fuck with, I understand, but I ain't.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean, how you be like. Hey, I, you know, you know what I mean how you be like. You know, because when people talk about how he, he talk about he, the best. And you know anybody want to try me, try me. But your homie tried you, yeah, and you you backed off. You know I mean Obviously so because you didn't want to have my bro turn into a foe and it's like, but that's just me putting my ideology onto him. You know what I mean. And that's not where he's at in his life right now.
Speaker 2:I could understand that Kendrick has beef with Drake, but I know he was probably poking at J Cole just to see if he was like the same, like same mindset. But it's like yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like J Cole's too genuine for that. It's like. It's like you know, you pull up on him, you pull up on him, but you pulling up on Drake, but you see J Cole right next to him yeah. Yeah, are you playing both sides? I ain't going to sign it. Yeah, you know what I mean. It's like nah, man, wait, you ain't going to hit me like, you ain't going to do to me like that. So, what's up, man, you tripping bro, you tripping, you tripping.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I mean Chill, chill. And then he.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying you was just next to him, so you caught a stray. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking you with bro, since you with bro, you get what I'm saying, but it's like when he also, when he said like they bleeding on me. I mean it's like it's affecting me, tyjohn, yes y'all stirring up the pot.
Speaker 1:And they were saying I bought the bots and I'm like man I personally never seen no kendrick bots, right.
Speaker 1:Every time I see a kendrick post and I go to the comments, I'll see the people that's talking about kendrick in a in a derogatory way and I click on them. Yeah, and not everything on your page is ovo, retweeting, retweeting, retweeting and then a freaking talking down upon direct and I've done that a lot. I've done that to multiple. And then I go to the kendrick ones and I'm like these seem like real people you know what I'm saying but they just on there advocating for Kendrick you know what I mean when these people don't got no followers OVO, allen, they shit, or whatever the case may be or an edited image of something that has to do with Drake, and then it's just retweet retweet of Drake praise and then retweet of Kendrick disses and then they saying stuff like that. So I'm like would you really think Kendrick is Biden like that? I don't.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Because I feel like he don't even be on motherfucking social media.
Speaker 2:So how would he even know how to?
Speaker 1:do that. You know what I mean Social media. So how would he even know how to do that? Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, unless. Only way I would say that would be the case is if Kendrick was literally playing a better game than Drake, if, like, basically beating him at his own game, but better. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Like some of the tracks that he made, I feel like, oh, he made that track kind of to be like that track. He made that track kind of to be like that track. He made that track to kind of be like like he's beating you at your own thing. You know what I mean. So so, like you know, you got euphoria and you got push-ups. You know what I mean, yeah. And then you got the interlude, and then you had taylor made freestyle or whatever. Yeah, you know, I mean. Then you have, uh, you have family matters, but then he dropped meet the grams, but then he comes back with the other bop of Not Like Us, which favors the upbeat feeling of Family Matters type shit.
Speaker 1:But that's only if he was just trying to beat him at his own game. Like, I know what you're going to do and I'm going to do what you do better than you do. You know, that would be the only thing. It was like oh yeah, he put bots on there because people, his homies, said he sees everything. That's why he said the thing about ACT, yeah, you know, because it's so weird that ACT will be on his platform and be on one side, but then he'll go to like Joe Budden podcast or something else and he plays both sides. He'd just be a normal guy talking about it. So I'm like yo, bro, you the biggest bot on your own platform. It's like you like the fucking the head, motherfucking minion or something. You know what I mean? The one that's the closest to like you ever seen. Remember Jimmy Neutron? Yeah, his little brother type shit. You know what?
Speaker 2:I mean the purple one. That's you.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean you, the next head that tells everybody else what to do, type shit. You know what I mean. The one, the nastiest motherfucker Out the group too, the motherfucker that's going really oh master, want this. So you know? Nah, I'm just playing. I ain't no master shit, but you know, you know what I'm saying. Just being that one that advocates for whatever he say, and shit. I even seen a clip of a nigga talking about bro, he don't fuck with you like that. What has he done for you?
Speaker 2:He uses you you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:He uses you. He didn't give you no tickets. He didn't give you. Nah, it's not like that. It's not like that. It's not like. It's all right, bro, no one has to do something for you to show you they love. I can understand that, but you know to to put that point against somebody. It's funny to see if they're too too not mindful of. Like. You know, no one has to show love all the time, you know. I mean, you can. You can experience someone fucking with you in different aspects than just doing something for you because you did something for them.
Speaker 1:But anyways, I like the verse. I like J Cole. Do I wish he would have threw some bows? Yeah, but it is what it is since he did it. Fuck, but it is what it is since he did it.
Speaker 1:Because, you know, I would never have thought that, you know, kendrick and them would actually really beef like that. So it's just, I don't feel like no one in their mind thought that Drake and them, that's a different story. You know what I mean. That's a whole different banquet over there. But you know, that's just like yo, let's go to the back and go freestyle. You know what I mean. That's a whole different banquet over there. But you know, that's just like yo. Let's go to the back and go freestyle. You know what I mean Me versus you.
Speaker 1:Let's see what you got. That's all it was for me. And that's when I heard the joint. I'm like, nah, he ain't in it, his heart ain't in it, and y'all, you. And Uncle was trying to play me like I was tripping. What do you mean? Well, uncle was trying. I don't remember what you said, but Uncle was trying to play me like I was tripping, like I was like yo, he ain't, he don't got it bro, because that's when I had did my the Zo's thoughts, because we was like, after he came out with the, my delete later, yeah, yeah, and I had said that yo, it wasn't good and he was trying to say yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't put his heart in it, that's all it was.
Speaker 2:He didn't really. But you know, drunkard, he a.
Speaker 1:JCogues fan. You know what I mean. That's his guy. He the one that sent us the thing I'm like. I already saw it. I knew you was going to freaking post this in this motherf. You know what I mean. Peeped it out and, uh, all in all, like I said, I would take away from this is like you know, the fall off is gonna be great. He is. He is a great lyricist man. Um, he is a great lyricist, I'm not gonna lie. The fluidity of how he approaches his, his rhymes is very impressive and I, I can, I, I love to hear it. You know what I mean but that's uh.
Speaker 2:Also to add J Cole, like slightly mentioning, like, if I were to diss you, I'm coming at your throat like even though, if, what? Even though, saying that, even though it was like this, a friendly fade, it's like fuck all that. All right, if it was. If you're coming at me, I'm coming after you. That's how you felt, but it's like that's not for me. You know, that's what he felt.
Speaker 1:That's why I was like yo man, don't talk to me like that. Yeah, but you tripping, yeah, stop playing. He was like he's trying to be tough at the same time because, like you know how, you don't want to fight your bros like shit. Like yo, bro, chill, you know what I mean. And that could mean that you could beat him up or you could not. We just don't know. Every time we get to a Fiku, you know what I mean. You over here, you ain't trying to scrap.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying. Friendly face happen all the time. But one thing I would say y'all, it's just us being consumers and we just wanted to experience that. But I feel like yo, what we got from k-dot and fucking drake is is gonna go down in history as the greatest, like we're gonna be old 20 years from now, 30 years from now, amazing 15 years from now. It's like what's the? What is the best? You know? I mean probably the best moment in hip-hop.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Great entertainment Kendrick and Drake, beef, yeah, and then ding, ding, ding, he's going to play in the background Ding ding ding how many views that got.
Speaker 2:now it's been a minute.
Speaker 1:Huh, it's been a super minute. I don't even know. Let's see if I can pull it up without nothing going on.
Speaker 2:And then a while ago you said that Kendrick was supposed to be dropping soon. But then the fall off is supposed to be coming. Drake is doing his Party Next Door collab. I'm not excited for that at all. I don't know why. I'm just not.
Speaker 1:I heard some of it. I don't know. I just I'm just not. I heard some of it, I don't know how many it's at 152 million for the video and the regular audio is at 162, 167. Okay, nice, and that's three months and five months so videos. Three months and five months so videos. Uh, three months.
Speaker 1:100, 152, audio, five months 167 man just give it just one more year like, yeah, yo, over the years it's gonna, it's gonna, it's probably hit a billion, because I think, uh, uh, I think um be humble got to a billion. Oh yeah, yeah, I think I saw that too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, humble, yeah. I think it's certified platinum Now, yeah, so shout outs to that, but once he dropped that song, looking for the Rock week.
Speaker 1:Rock week Rock week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that, that's gonna break too. That's gonna break too, that's gonna.
Speaker 1:That's gonna break records man, if he really, because I think I saw that he wanted to do major stadiums Like bigger stadiums and that's why everybody was like he's coming out with another album, he has to.
Speaker 2:So that means, he knows, that this he knows this one is going to be tough.
Speaker 1:When is the fallout going to be tough? What? When is the fallout film happening, man?
Speaker 2:I don't know. It's going to be coming soon. That's pissing me off. What is it almost?
Speaker 1:two years, three years, he's been talking about that. Yeah, that's when you know this boy is about to put everything he got.
Speaker 2:But he's cooking right now because he already put out what, poor Antonio.
Speaker 1:He already put out what poor Antonio, he already put out two. Yeah, he's been putting out a lot of sprinkles he might delete later.
Speaker 2:I guess was his I got to listen to that man. I still haven't listened to it. Yeah, I love this season. Oh, it's not ready yet. It's not ready yet. Yeah, pre hitter, yeah, but if Kendrick drops before him, I'd be sad. That's like every great, no, not even every great every other video game dropping before GTA, before the new GTA, and we should be getting that.
Speaker 1:We should already have that did you think the yo Drake, you always gonna be my nigga. I appreciate everything you done, done for me. Do you think that was needed?
Speaker 2:No, Because Drake even Drake still hasn't reconciled with basically what he did to Kendrick. He haven't. He was supposed to be on that feature and Drake told J Cole alright, I'm going to hit him up Never did that. That's why Kendrick was mad about that. You wanted that feature request. You know we got some stuff to address and J Cole that's why J Cole was he was backed. Because it's why J Cole was he was backed. Because it's like you didn't. You told me you was gonna tell him, but you fronted him. Hopefully, that's just a theory.
Speaker 1:And then you had the and you know, the fucking Spider-Man meme is three, come on. But I swear to you, it was like it was a couple subliminals in there is three, come on. But I swear to you, it was a couple subliminals in there. But I think that he was just trying to be competitive.
Speaker 2:But. But to go back to what you said to me, how I feel no, but probably to J Cole yes, because he messed with him. He messed with him. But probably to J Cole, yes, Because he messed with him, he messed with him. Drake probably never did him wrong.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I don't think he cares. After the whole, did you see the stuff on stage where he was crying about people not fucking with him and traitors and shit like that? Oh yeah, I don't know bro.
Speaker 2:He was feeling himself out.
Speaker 1:I didn't even watch the whole thing. I was like, oh yeah, this dude's rambling, yeah, and then play freaking me myself and I about freaking. Beyonce. I'm like yo, brother, this guy stinks. Get out your feelings man. Oh man, I'm not trying to be, but I'm not trying to hear all that gang. Yeah, I'm not trying to. It is what it is.
Speaker 2:But Drake, funny man, I ain't got he's comedy, bro, literally comedy. He don't care that much, especially about his memes and stuff. It's straight comedy, bro.
Speaker 1:He doesn't. I don't think he does. I think he does, but he doesn't. I don't know, because today I think you've posted the thing about him and his son and stuff like that. It's so hard to be like, oh yeah, he's always been a good dad. It's like nah, every time I see it now I just feel like it's a sprinkle of Kendrick. I had to do it because Kendrick said, I wasn't. Yo, all right, all right, all right. One more question for you. Who had, who had the better verse On problems?
Speaker 2:Drake or Kendrick, Don't do that to me, man Cause.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, you know this the finale. I got it. Yes, love.
Speaker 2:Got it, got it, got it, dr Kelly.
Speaker 1:Got the world on my life.
Speaker 2:World on my life. I've had it in this place one time and that sucks. It sucks to say that.
Speaker 1:Girl, I'm Kendrick Lamar, okay.
Speaker 2:Because he was so versatile. He came in it like All I remember from Drake was Now I'm about to do it, let's love. Okay, I got it. Let's love Chopped out and gave it to y'all. That's tough, that's tough, see, okay.
Speaker 1:Why are you touching? Your heart Because my heart can't take that.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying ASAP. You know he's going to come in. How did you?
Speaker 1:come in. 2 Chainz did his thing. He was on the chorus.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying, but it's like when it came to Drake.
Speaker 1:And Lorde is the finale. A pep talk turned to a pep rally.
Speaker 2:It's like we heard what Drake did, but then Kendrick was like yo, I'm going to up one. Or not even up one, but be a little bit more versatile than everybody here.
Speaker 1:It was kind of like a moment how you got Lil Wayne, eminem and Kanye on that one track for LeBron James. Oh yeah, it was kind of like that, yeah, but we know the ones that went at the end it was in terms of Eminem. He killed that shit. Yeah, you know, I feel like Lil Wayne and Kanye verse was hard yeah.
Speaker 2:But there they go.
Speaker 1:There they go, yeah, and so this is the finale. My pep talk turned to a rap rally.
Speaker 2:Come on now I got the world on my line, girls on my line, and it sucks to say that, because the whole song is like we're just prepping up to how hot it's getting.
Speaker 1:They have some cool little flows. It was nice. And then you have this motherfucker I know you want that dick. And then you switch to. I'm Kendrick Lamar. It's a hard one. It's a hard one. It's a hard one, Let me know. Let me know you go first.
Speaker 2:Biasing me is going to pick Kendrick. How is it biased? Because I love it, then you just love it. I know that. But I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think I don't know why. I'm trying to think in a generalist aspect. Okay, you're asking me, you're asking me. You're asking me Kendrick. I'm so sorry, kendrick. Fuck all you guys. All right, fuck it, fuck all you guys.
Speaker 1:There's no reason to say fuck them. I'm kidding Kendrick.
Speaker 2:It changed my life. Okay, pet, talk to a pet. And then he said about Halle Berry, I do you Come on Just in and all like, oh, it's just a, oh, I just love it.
Speaker 1:I love it.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, drake, at that moment of time, at that moment of time in my life when I heard it and I was a Drake fan. But now this man creeping up changed my whole life, changed my perspective. I'm picking Kendrick. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Not sorry Kendrick, that's Kendrick. I'm sorry. I want to be for the people, but I can't when it's like I love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and obviously I ain't going to lie to you, we rapped more of Kendrick's verse than we did Drake's, and Drake's verse is not bad.
Speaker 2:You don't understand about the stuff in the video zone. All that shit you're talking is just really for discussion. Yeah, coming for your head. Oh, fuck, get the bus. Yes, love, okay, okay, it's a ride, it's a ride. But Kendrick gave us more like I can't say. I can't say Like he was riding, he was mm.
Speaker 1:Kendrick said on your left.
Speaker 2:On your left. That's a great example. That's a great example. Oh my God, I ain't going gonna lie bro.
Speaker 1:The song is fire. I enjoy both verses, but I always tend to have myself singing Ravik Kendrick's part. It is not biased. It is not biased man. If y'all only knew how much of a big, of a freaking Drake fan. Drake is my favorite melodic artist. I love Drake for his melodies. Yes, I really Drake for his melodies. Yes, I really really do. What was the song we were singing last time?
Speaker 2:Oh, Resistance.
Speaker 1:Yesterday, when we were getting right, no, right there you're welcome.
Speaker 1:Yes, but I, if you, if people just only know how much I truly love Drake older music, that's where I you know. If y'all just don't understand, man, y'all just don't understand. And, and it's nobody. I'm a new J Cole fan. I've said that plenty of times. Y'all just don't understand, man, y'all just don't understand. And it's no buy. I'm a new J Cole fan. I've said that plenty of times. But I am a old Drake fan. But Kendrick I just through Section 80 to now. He has not made me not want to listen to him. Nowadays, when Drake stuff, I just just I gotta pick and choose the songs. It's more likely the, um, the, the singing songs, I think on um, uh, what was the for all the dogs?
Speaker 2:I think only saved about three songs, if I'm not yo you know, some people put that as a masterpiece from Drake and I was like what I know? We?
Speaker 1:all heard this album. I will say this and I will say it again A masterpiece. The last best album that Drake had put out was Views. I will not lie to you From front to back the last album that was actually phenomenal from Drake was Views. To me, views is his best album to me. You can debate it all you want. You know what I mean, but that 2016 and beyond Drake was tough, was tough, but after that it was floppy. More life was floppy More life.
Speaker 1:Floppy Scorpion, floppy, floppy, very floppy For all the dogs. Floppy Fucking. What's the one? We had? All the baby mamas on there, certified.
Speaker 2:Lover Boy. Yeah, certified Lover, I like Certified Lover Boy.
Speaker 1:Shit, I liked it. I liked it. The demo tapes, oh the demo tapes. Better than what else he was putting out, yeah okay, okay, yeah, demo tapes the one we had the Jay-Z. That shit was hard, the Jay-Z love song. Sounds like a love song. That was on Certified right. That was on.
Speaker 2:Certified right.
Speaker 1:No, that was on Demo Tape.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're talking about the sample. That was the one we had. You're talking about the sample, the ski mask on? Yeah, yeah, yeah, on Demo Tape, yeah.
Speaker 1:That was the one we had. The little ski mask that was the same ski mask he had that Kendrick had put in his what you call it. Yeah, I fuck with that more than the big now. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. It's just like I don't feel like he be putting out albums like that. So the bias thing is like to me. It makes me upset because it's like I'm not biased. I like him, I like all three of them, all four of them. It's a fantastic four plus Future.
Speaker 2:Y'all was always.
Speaker 1:But you was, you were, you were co-signing about how I fuck with Future so much and how you know what I mean. I did? Yeah, because I was putting them up there with the guys.
Speaker 2:No, when we was talking about Mount Rushmore, I agree with that Future.
Speaker 1:I don't think it was. I don't think it was a Mount Rushmore, I think it was.
Speaker 2:It wasn't that one, I, it wasn't that one.
Speaker 1:I think it was in the Because I was telling him that I was telling y'all that I feel like Future is up there with Kendrick and them. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I agree with that.
Speaker 1:But you know he was, you was, you was cosigning the fact that, yeah, you know he love Future and shit Like kind of clown me and shit like that. Oh, you know what I mean? I don't remember. I yeah, it is filmed.
Speaker 1:It's audio on there. But you know, all I'm saying is like the bias thing, it's not even real. I just, truly, out of all of them, would just pick Kendrick and I don't really feel like Drake is a true motherfucking, like he's a he a singing rapper to me and that's the whole reason why I liked him. People hated that. I love that about him. I didn't want him to be a tough guy. No, nigga, Talk about. You know voicemails. You know what I mean? Marvin's room.
Speaker 1:I want to hear shit like that. You know what I mean? Just hold on, we're going home, Come on. Yeah, I don't want to hear none of that other stuff. Yeah, Don't want to hear none of that other stuff. Yeah, Personally, me, that's just me. This is me. I'm an R&B dude first. So when it comes to rap, I'm very particular and I like, I like Kendrick. I've always liked it, Kendrick, and then I've liked it Future. Then shit, Rick Ross, Motherfucking, um, who else? But mostly I listen to like K-Camp, Tory Lanez and shit like that. That's like my vibe, the melodicness of it, Because that was the artist that I wanted to be. You know what I mean when I wanted to be an artist. You know what I mean Thinking I got a little voice and shit it just flows better.
Speaker 2:And you know, market towards the ladies. See, I had that same feeling until Kendrick came in my life and pulled out that phenomenal verse from Problems and yeah, cause, I remember I think it was you, you and Trey. We was in the basement. I think that was the first. Was that the first time we heard it?
Speaker 1:or you guys showcased it to me no, no, no, no, no, no time we heard it.
Speaker 2:Or you guys showcased it to me no, no, no, no, no, no, unless I heard it by myself no, that came out in 2012.
Speaker 1:Or 2011.
Speaker 2:I know, at one point we were all together listening to it and when I heard it again I was like this is a whole different perspective for me. Especially, I found out about Kendrick from an Asian dude, really, which was yes, yes, was surprising to me a filipino dude. So it changed my life. On, on, uh, on a sound, a different sound.
Speaker 1:I found out, I, I found out about I found kendrick on accident. Somebody played something. I said what, what is that? And then he said I think he said K-Dot at first. I don't remember how it was, but I just remember I'm like yo, what is this? This is hard. And it was ADHD and I fell in love with that song.
Speaker 1:And then you got Rigor Mortis and then it was like, oh, this nigga, hard, hard. And then you had you know, he was a couple freestyles that he had and shit like that. And then boom, listen to you know 6 and 80. And then you got Good Kid Mad City and everyone was on that shit, yeah, yeah, on that shit, yeah, listening to that, listening, because that was when Y on the west coast had some bangers. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:At kid ink, you had mr la. You had, you know what I mean, yg was doing his thing, kendrick nipsey, you schoolboy q was working through the worst. J right, it was all it was. We was listening, we was listening. You know what I mean. So that's why I was like yo. And then I heard that I'm like, nah, he don't sound like no regular la nigga, though, yeah, he way more well, obviously, in texas 80 you can feel that too, but like it was just, it was so hard to, like you know, be in a fast, you know having a you know teenage mindset to sit down and understand it. But it's something in my heart just felt like yo, this is, this is music, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Promise that you will sing about me Still gets me to a point where it's like yo, there's the how. Yeah, when the lights shut off and it's my turn to settle down my main concern. Promise that you will sing about me.
Speaker 1:Hey, hard, hard, hard, hard. So there's no bias. I know I was prolonging that, but there's no bias over here. I love music. I know I was prolonging that, but there's no bias over here. I love music. I love good music. And it's bias when you put somebody on the pedestal and you don't really like what they've been putting out. You know what I mean. But it's so nostalgic with this person but you don't want to bring them off that shelf. You know what I mean and that's what happened to me. I was man Like it's just not hitting Like it used to, when I used to listen To the Ride. Like oh, my god, you know what I mean. Like those type of songs. You know what I mean. Over my Dead Body, like If I told myself, like Somebody was like Yo, what's? If you had to Give me a song from Drake, what would you get? Over my Dead Body is probably that song, bro.
Speaker 2:I just want the whole Take Care album. I don't even care Take.
Speaker 1:Care album. Thank Me Later album Freaking. Nothing was the same.
Speaker 2:Drake don't even consider that one of his best, Because he was feeling too childish or immature.
Speaker 1:Come on bro, hey, man, take Care, gave us the Weeknd, so I ain't mad at her.
Speaker 2:Nah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Lovely yeah, basically, you know the Weeknd Drake collab and then we got the Real Her.

It's like you know everything crumbling down. It's all her fault, but she don't want things to change. Mm-hmm, I promise I need to leave you, but I can't stand to hold you, that's the wrong thing to do. Because you'll say you love me and I love lying. They say I love you too, yeah, broker.
