Song for song.
I still maintain that Takeover is a better song, a listenable, enjoyable song, than Ether.
It's a better song.
Ether is a better diss.
Yes.
I'm on the page.
Ether wins, but when you put that Takeover on right now.
It still knocks.
I can't remove slavery's choice.
I can't remove someone posting hail hitler.
I can't remove someone calling jay-z and beyonce's kid the r-word.
I can't remove a black man wearing a klu klux klan outfit.
I can't remove him walking around with candace owens and charlie kirk.
I could keep going.
I can't remove all the mega stuff him calling trump his daddy.
But i'm gonna be real with y'all I don't want to see a concert like that based from him or just period.
In general.
The installations have gone too far, guys.
I can't even see you, bro.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
This is an art installation now, bro.
I'm not interested.
I don't.
He's standing on top of the world.
Give a fuck.
For those out there learning and watching.
If you force someone to sign a contract under the guise of like harm or death, that doesn't hold up in court.
It's Rap Life Review.
Eddie in L.A., that's Lo.
I'm Ebro Nadeska out.
Shout to our guy Rob Markman coming through.
And also shout to Nick.
Nick's still on vacay, huh, Eddie?
Yeah, my boy's still in Japan, man.
Like, two-week vacation in Japan.
I'm trying to be like Nick when I grow up.
He all right?
Like, he trapped over there?
Are he good?
Don't do Japan like that.
Japan got love, man.
No, I'm just saying.
Japan wants you to leave.
Don't get it twisted.
They not trying to keep you over there, bro.
They got their own thing going on.
If you want to stay, cool, but...
They not thirsty.
They got heat.
Japan got everything.
Shout out to everybody in Japan.
And to do Japan the right way, two weeks is a good number.
Because there's Tokyo, and then there's Japan.
And that's a different energy.
Like, Japan is amazing.
I love Japan.
One of the best places to go on Earth.
You been to Japan, Eddie?
No, I want to go so bad.
We were having this conversation off air, like for the last 40, 50 years, like black people in Japan, Japanese people, we've been having this cultural exchange back and forth.
Yeah.
And like it started off and, you know, This is more Asian culture.
Start off back in the day with like kung fu movies and then you get like the Wu-Tang.
And then a lot of the reason why we fell in love with kung fu movies is because they were on the same theaters of black exploitation movies.
And then Wu-Tang started doing their thing to the point where the younger generation, they're becoming Pokemon and anime.
And now Japan's super into hip hop culture.
And it's been a culture exchange between the two of us for a long time.
Shout out to DJ Honda man.
Shout out to there's a lot of Japanese hip hop.
That is incredible, and I went all the way back with DJ Honda, but you know somebody, give me the name of it.
They have a park in Japan where, like hip hop kind of first started in Tokyo that you could go visit.
Like that's how much they take care of like hip hop culture and how much it means to them.
Even up to now, like AWITCH, shout out to AWITCH out there who's got an album with The RZA.
She got Joey Badass on the album.
A$AP Ferg's on the album, like a real straight up rap album.
That's fire.
Like with fire beats. and she's from Okinawa, I believe, yeah.
And they got their own, Japan is fire, bro, all the way around.
Field trip, let's go.
We got to do two weeks like Nick.
I ain't got two weeks.
I would love to.
And you know me, I got kids and a wife.
I ain't nobody going around the world for two weeks without kids and a wife.
And that price tag is serious.
You know, so there's a lot of love for Rob Markman in the YouTube comments.
Yep.
Rob with the quotable.
We have been infiltrated.
Shout to Ari Wolf X and Manny Mang saying Rob always has dope energy in the hip hop convo.
We love Rob.
Rob is a hip hop journalist.
Go.
So lots of love for Rob.
Now, Eddie, you're in the comments.
Oh, no, it was one person who was wrong.
All right, which is Born Gifted Media says, wrong.
Battle is core principle.
DJs, battle dancers, battle MCs, battle grabs, battle.
Even promoter battles for the best events and we battle for best fits.
The whole culture is built on battling.
Eddie, your response was you don't listen to the show.
You just replied to the intro.
We literally talked about this in context.
And Rob responded, shaking my head, they were wrong.
So it was in response to jay-z saying the core principles of hip-hop and then he talked about battling specifically.
Now, battling is involved with emceeing and yes, dj's battle, graffiti's battle, but he was talking about there's only like.
What is it is is break dancing, and this is what jay-z was talking about.
Battling isn't part of the four pillars.
MCing and all that other stuff is.
So that's in which I replied to.
That's what I replied to.
That was in the beginning clip.
And they were like, Eddie, you are wrong.
And it's like, no, I'm not.
That's not one of the core principles.
It's involved with All of hip hop, yes.
It's in the culture, but it's not one of the pillars of the.
It's not because the core pillars are really the art forms of hip hop, right.
Battling, obviously, within those pillars is a part of the culture, for sure.
The Jay-Z thing was overblown, don't y'all think?
In what way?
Meaning like when I saw the interview, I didn't get that he fully was on that type of time.
Like he even said like I hate having to, I hate feeling this way and I sound like the old guy yeah, like like he was even saying like he's evolved to a place.
Yeah, and i think that's most people who are like, i'm not that tuned into battling the same way i was back then in my 20s.
You know what i'm saying.
Like yeah, j cole on his most recent album uh, you know i still love her in the third verse, which i think is a phenomenal verse and just a well-written thing about, you know, just aging in hip-hop and realizing that hip-hop is gonna continue to move with the youth culture more than it's gonna move with, you know, us older cats.
Like, that's just how hip-hop is.
Yeah, I mean, I guess he was just like speaking on the too-far point of how social media handled both sides of it.
I think that's what he was trying to get to us.
But also like and I'm sure you know, y'all talked about it last week with the car seat incident and you know super ugly and apologizing and all that.
You already said all that.
But, That's why I think it was overblown.
I know, listen, it was Jay-Z.
Jay-Z doesn't talk a lot.
We had an interview like the last, what, 10 years?
Yeah, whatever it was.
And it was a phenomenal convo.
I just think a lot was made out of that battle comment.
But I think that's because it was once again the Kendrick Hive, the OVO movement, you know, and everybody having that convo.
And clearly it was great for Kendrick.
Yeah, it was.
Right.
And it was also great for Jay-Z's what he what he programs, which was the halftime.
Yeah.
Like.
So as far as the business side, because I have heard that critique where people are like oh, it's not good for business, et cetera, et cetera.
It was, it was good for business.
And even when I had Roxanne Shante on the Ebro show and was talking to her about it and it used to it always went too far.
The Roxanne battle went too far where literally grown men were going at a little girl.
Like, it's always... People died.
Like, it's always been a thing.
So to act as if now it's going too far is like, And it's like again, like he's the one.
He can't say that also.
Just based on... No, he can say whatever you want to say.
I mean, he can say whatever you want, obviously, yeah.
But I'm just saying, like, just...
I don't know.
It's all of that, though.
Jay-Z's mature.
Right.
As someone who was in one of the I don't know top three hip-hop battles of all time, people looking at Mike Lowe, for instance, and says well, you can't say that because you were so integral and pushing beefs in hip-hop.
But as we get older, we change.
Yeah.
We evolve.
And where Jay-Z's at now, he's like, you know what?
I kind of regret that.
He said that Nas is a nice guy.
I wish he didn't do that.
But like 20-year-old, I guess Jay-Z was in his 30s maybe at that point.
30-year-old Jay-Z views things different than 50-year-old Jay-Z.
And I even view things different where I'm at in life and where I used to view things.
So, I think, yeah, we blew it out of proportion because you know what?
One thing we can't do on the Internet is have a respectable way in which to disagree.
That does not happen.
We can't be like, oh, I disagree with Jay-Z.
We have to, like, stand on something.
Which is all what we did.
We disagreed with some of the things he said, and that's fine.
And that's okay.
Like, it is what it is.
But he's matured, and that's... It was blown out of proportion, but, you know.
To his point.
Yeah, it is what it is.
So now we're at Yankee Stadium.
Okay.
You performing Takeover?
He doesn't perform that anymore.
It's on the blueprint.
Yeah, but see now if you're going to have this stance and you're going to be things going too far and battling is, you know, not good.
I saw that.
When I bought my tickets the other day, that joint said we was doing the blueprint.
No, I know what the concert is.
But based on the narrative and the rhetoric, him doing that would be being a hypocrite about things going too far.
And he doesn't do that.
He doesn't do that song anymore when he does perform.
And it's weird because Prodigy's dead, bro.
Like, that's what makes it really weird.
Like, the Nas stuff, you can be like, all right, that was in the moment.
We can kind of get over it.
If Gucci can perform that song to Jeezy's face, anything in the world is possible, right?
Anything's possible.
They just don't like each other.
And they still don't.
But Prodigy no longer being here.
So there's no way we can do like a...
You know, he can say something.
He can say something.
So you don't need the prodigy verse out and just go at Nas?
Nah, I mean, listen, man, it's happened in real time.
We're reminiscing, man.
It's really happened, man.
I understand that.
You said what you said and we did what we did.
Yeah, but now we're looking at how he thinks and how he's moving and how he's mature.
I hear what you're saying.
I'm just asking the question.
And I'm telling you, by the way, I'm not even disagreeing.
If that's what they decide to do, I would understand.
But I'm just while I have the opportunity, I wanted to know if I'm going to get to see that.
I don't think we're going to see that.
I think we're going to go from one to three.
That takeover is still rigged.
It still does.
It does.
By the way, my favorite debate, honestly, is.
Song for song.
I still maintain that Takeover is a better song, a listenable, enjoyable song, than Ether.
It's a better song.
Ether is a better diss.
Yes.
Ether wins, but when you put that Takeover on right now, it still knocks.
You put that Ether on, you're like, yo, Nas did his thing.
Turn it off.
That beat, though.
Shout out to Ron Brooks.
But people like Ethan for what it stands for.
I listen to it, but it don't go like, it don't have to bounce.
It don't have that impact or that influence.
Yeah, yeah.
And the beat is real crazy.
Takeover's real.
Yo, that should get the comment section going, though.
That combo right there never stops.
Never stopped.
Never was.
And it says here too, fans come to Kanye's defense.
For what?
Well, one person, your favorite commentary 5028 says 20 albums dropped on Friday because the biggest discussion was Kanye West.
He won.
Nobody cares about y'all opinions about his past.
Also, Bully was a family album if you actually listen.
I understand people writing off Kanye because so many things he's done in the past.
But I also feel like people don't take consideration that the man is literally bipolar and has mental health issues.
So yeah, while a lot of offensive things have been done and said, do we not give any grace to that side?
In spite of that,
We're having the same conversation with this man every time he drives or whatever the case is.
He sold out so far.
Congratulations, two nights in a row.
But we're having the same conversation about yeah, he said some fucked up shit back then, or whatever the case is.
Should we allow him grace?
When are we going to forgive him?
At this point, everyone has made up their mind about what they're going to do with him and what they're going to say with him, and how they look at his music.
We're going back in this revolving door every time he does or every time.
And no one's opinion has changed.
Eddie, you still feel the same way.
I still feel the same way.
E, I'm sure you feel the same way.
Nadeska, everybody in here.
It's not going to fucking change.
So let's table this argument.
Let that man do whatever the fuck he's going to do.
We can't table it.
It's the same combo.
You know what my favorite part is, right?
And true, most people probably don't care about our opinions.
90% of them probably don't.
But if you watch the video and you left a comment, you kind of care about our opinion, like you, of all people.
You can't say you don't care about it.
You care, but that's part of what.
That's part of what rob was saying, though.
Um, in the last conversation we had is like fandom has taken over and we've also been infiltrated, like we can't.
Even if you go back and watch the conversation we had about the kanye album, it wasn't disrespectful.
And we were acknowledging all those things.
And even in my particular clip, because people were going in on me on my social media, I acknowledged, like Kanye is a creative genius.
I even said I think the album's pretty good.
I said I think it's the best album since Pablo.
If you're actually paying attention to what I'm saying.
I'm saying I understand why people like Kanye's music, but because the fandom has people with these rose colored glasses of how they feel about their favorite artists, they can't even listen to the conversation without being defensive, because nobody was taking anything away from kanye.
What i said is it gets weird when you, when you try to separate the art from the artist with him And I've even acknowledged in the past that I can't be a hypocrite because a lot of our favorites have done messed up stuff
And it's how deep do you want to go into this?
And I said when I listen to Kanye, it's hard for me to remove all the things that he has done over the years from the music that I'm listening to.
And it is my choice not to do it.
I'm not telling you, you can't, don't be offended.
Like, don't be mad at me.
Listen to Kanye, go to the concert.
Like clearly two sold out shows in LA.
A lot of people don't feel the way that I feel.
However, you can't take that from me.
Like, I'm going to feel the way I feel.
I can't remove slavery's choice.
I can't remove someone posting hail Hitler.
I can't remove someone calling Jay-Z and Beyonce's kid the R word.
I can't remove a black man wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
I can't remove him walking around with Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk.
I could keep going.
I can't remove all the MAGA stuff.
Him calling Trump his daddy, him putting his cousin's business out in the area if y'all remember what that was.
Like, you can choose to forgive and move on.
And then there's the bipolar conversation, right?
And who am I to talk about someone having mental issues?
And I can show grace, but the reality is also I can choose how much grace I'm willing to give someone.
There's a lot of people that have mental health issues, that even have platforms that don't go as far.
Kanye went as far as possible.
I can't just forget that because I like Bully.
That's my, if you want to listen to the music, go ahead.
I'm not telling you you can't.
For me, I can't, fam.
Yeah, it's not like you're telling people y'all are fucked up if you give him grace or forgive him.
Y'all have no moral compass.
If you forgive him or whatever the case is, you're not doing that.
You're just saying yo, this is where I stand, and this is where I'm going to stand for a pretty long time.
I think a lot of people have given him grace.
No, they have.
You know what I'm saying?
There's some people who wouldn't have even had a conversation about them.
You know what I'm saying?
I think that's part of this, as one of my friends put it, thawing.
You know what I mean?
I think there is a thawing for Kanye.
He put out an apology letter.
This album, as far as a Kanye album goes, like Eddie said, and I think it's well said best album since Pablo.
I think everybody can agree with that.
I would agree.
I would even go as far as to say, in hip hop, right now, in this moment, if you're looking for a phenomenal hip hop album, you would say Bully is a phenomenal hip hop album.
It's not a phenomenal Kanye West album, but Kanye West's bar is super high.
But what's available today in hip hop, if you throw this on, you're going to be like, yo.
If this wasn't Kanye, if this was just somebody else, we would be screaming at the top of the hills about how phenomenal this project was.
I mean, lyrically, it wasn't.
No, but just the whole thing.
The whole scope of it, yeah.
We can, you know, debate whatever.
But you would be at fire beats, samples, all the things.
I'm in love with all that shit.
Yeah, yeah.
So I think that look, I think people to the commenters and everybody else that want to kind of see individuals, you know, sweep his transgressions under the rug and act like they didn't happen.
That's on them.
You're a bozo.
Like, grownups don't do that.
That's not what grownups do.
You know what I'm saying?
Bro made it cool to be in public doing things that are harmful to individuals.
Did he kill anyone?
No.
You know what I'm saying?
In the climate of the world today.
There's actual murder taking place genocide, war and all types of things.
And by the way, using some of the tropes that he, you know, leverage to create controversy.
I think the problem many people have like myself is, I believe his mental health is often convenient because he knows how to shut his mouth when he wants to.
This album doesn't have any of that offensive stuff in it.
Clearly, he knows when to put it out and when not to.
You know what I'm saying?
So is that mental health or is that on purpose?
Which one is it?
I don't know.
And so even people who do this professionally with regard to bipolar and mental health and all the things, question whether or not This is actually serious.
Well, no, they know it's serious and they believe he likely has something.
Yeah, but.
You know, I believe does he.
Is it possible?
He has CTE from the accident in the beginning of his career.
Absolutely.
I think that's highly possible.
The bipolar thing, absolutely.
Do I think he's on medication?
Likely.
There was stories of his mom, you know, having to medicate him and do certain things when he was younger.
I don't know if that's facts or not, but that was the story.
So there's a lot there.
And it's so much so for some people, especially people like me who have toxic people in my family who I stopped dealing with them also.
So if I'm gonna do it in my family, guess what I'm not gonna do?
Allow an artist who makes music, phenomenal music, Phenomenal.
To drag me around with they shenanigans all the time.
I've been said this from the jump, though.
So it's like.
But I definitely tuned into that album.
I went to Kanye's house.
I seen Kanye.
I was at the house with the Apple Music team, listened to the records with him, didn't talk about none of this.
Said thanks for coming out, hung out for like 90 minutes deuces we out.
We love the records.
So what was the temperature when he's playing?
Or, like, did he... He was...
Vibing to the beat.
Settled up.
Gave a tap.
Saw some people.
It was about eight people in the room.
It was chill.
It was nothing.
This was before the album came out.
But didn't break anything down?
Didn't, like, explain anything?
Or just play the music?
Nah, it wasn't a Q&A.
We was just listening.
No, no, I wasn't.
No, I'm just saying, like, did he, like, you know?
He was still recording some things and mixing things, too.
So there was a lot that was there.
And there's fire on that album.
Yeah, that's not the debate either.
But once again I'll tell you this as someone who saw him working on the music and listen to the album and there's things I like on the album and I agree with Eddie.
And playing the album on my show on Apple Music all the time as much as possible still don't mean I wanna go to a show.
Still don't mean i'm like you know, over it over or or even want to sit down and have a convo right like i.
What are we going to talk about?
Unless you're going to be like yo, bro?
I need to let everyone know that i was out of my mind and i apologize for everything and we can go through the list, Because that letter wasn't the list.
Yeah, that letter was bullshit.
You would do that, though.
If he came to you with that exact- We're not sitting down without that.
Okay.
That sentiment, that exact... Yeah, like, okay, so what was going on here?
Can I ask something else, too?
Why did you say that there?
Yeah, go ahead.
So, going back to what you were saying about the mental health thing and this is a conversation we were having off the air before you came on is a lot of his fans too, get to be.
They have the.
They get to use that as a trump card now.
It's like, whatever he does, they'd be like.
It doesn't matter how far, because Kanye's gone as far as you can go in the music industry like and still have like.
He's gone far, but we can always be like hey.
He's got mental health issues.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We got to let him go.
And his fans have been able to use that now as just his wild card for everything.
The boy got carte blanche now.
Well, hang on.
Hang on.
Sidebar.
What was the album, Kids See Ghosts?
One of them Wyoming albums where he was like my mental health is my superpower and I'm not taking my medication.
Yeah, that's the one with Cudi.
Right?
Yeah, the bipolar album.
Yeah, that was the bipolar album, which I think and I wanted to add that to your convo.
I think that was a part of that narrative Eddie, which was like and so yeah, they do throw that out.
And I get it like there are people and You know, people say things.
Hell, we was just learning about Tourette's a couple of weeks ago at the British joint when Menz was out there saying all type of wild issues to the audience.
And I was like, why are the worst things in your brain?
I don't like that.
But clearly, this stuff is above our pay grade.
And I met with someone who also has Tourette's, who's a black man.
And and Jumaane Williams, he's a New York City public advocate.
He's actually a politician and said he has the same tick as the guy in the audience, which is the N word tick which, it's like the way the the tick is in the brain causes you to say the worst things.
Yeah.
But to that to that, you know, path of these diagnosis. you know, Kanye's mental health is a thing.
I feel like it's often convenient, right?
Like it's often when it's in promo or it was.
But I also think that Kanye, over the next years and months, if five years, ten years go by and it's
No craziness.
Maybe we're having this conversation again and people are like, look, man, he really did improve.
He really did try.
And this is what I was saying last week.
I'm like, I still don't trust it.
I don't trust it or him. just based off of the theory that we have right now.
And I understand that it could pop up at any given moment.
But it goes back to the thing about being convenient whenever it suits him.
So now we're looking at the grace and how good he's doing and how great the music sounds or whatever the case is, but as soon as something happens, the meds or my doctor.
Let's see.
But we'll see.
But you know who's really about to win off of this?
Nicki Minaj is watching like, oh, you can come back from that?
Bro.
Oh, hell yeah.
No, she already, she already.
Did she apologize?
Oh, did she apologize?
Did she try to apologize?
Nah, Nicki Minaj, the comeback about to be crazy.
She can't wait.
The blueprint's right there for her.
Yeah, I don't know.
But she's good.
But I think people will be, once again, it'll be the trust thing.
It'll be some people are in, some people are not, whatever that turns out to be.
I got an issue with his anti-blackness.
Yeah, I think the anti-blackness is tricky because he's black.
You know what I'm saying?
He's black, yeah.
That's something that's kind of one of those.
That's one of those things that like, I always talk about where like, if we want people to take our issue seriously, we got to take it serious.
We gotta take it serious within our own circumference.
We gotta be the ones out here making sure that he feels the wrath.
Apparently black folks don't care.
You know why?
Because their love all falls down.
They're like, you know what?
He can say crazy stuff about our own community.
His love can't tell me nothing.
Well, and the whole slavery was a choice thing.
Wasn't that like discussed after the fact, as him trying to say that continuing to be in mental bondage is a choice that you make and he was misspoke or whatever at the time?
That's not what happened.
We all saw it.
He wore White Lives Matter shirts.
Well, no, but that wasn't at the same time.
No, but that happened after.
And by the way, I agree with y'all.
I'm just saying, wasn't that a discussion that he had after the TMZ moment?
Yeah, it was, but it still doesn't make up for the fact that you really were lazy enough to make that comment.
Well no, but then it's also.
It's exacerbated by the actions, as you pointed out the White Lives Matter T-shirts, the KKK thing.
Everything that follows it.
Selling of Confederate memorabilia.
You're wearing a swastika in public.
Then the anti-Semitism swastika and all that stuff.
So it kind of goes in all that.
So no one can get canceled, guys.
It's just the reality.
Y'all thought people thought people would get canceled.
No one ever gets canceled.
No one gets canceled for real.
We know that.
You just give it time.
Yeah, that's it.
Well, there is an audience, right?
Like, I guess if you have a rabid audience, there are people who will twist themselves into- They twist their own arm to be around or-.
Look, I mean you had Lauryn Hill on stage.
You had Travis Scott on stage.
Don Toliver.
Did Don Toliver get on stage?
Yep.
You have Badu in the audience.
Dave Chappelle.
And Chappelle.
And Deon Cole.
And some other notables popped up.
It was a lot of people.
Two chains.
Yeah, two chains.
Look, I'm going to keep it 100.
The show and the staging and the set.
Fire.
That was hard.
Hard.
Can't even lie.
Hard.
Hard. creative genius.
It was hard.
It felt like a karaoke concert, but that shit didn't make me look crazy.
But I'm going to be real with y'all.
I don't want to see a concert like that.
Why?
Based from him or just period?
In general.
The installations have gone too far, guys.
I can't even see you, bro.
I just can't.
I can't, like, what is... This is an art installation now.
So they had the screen?
They had the screen?
They had the screen, but then I saw... It was mad fog.
You couldn't see nobody up there.
No, that's what I'm saying.
It's like I'm looking at a silhouette and you're with a rope attached to your back.
Like, no.
As far as art installations, and it's incredible.
Incredible.
But as far as a concert?
It is genius.
As far as me, sitting there watching this for an hour and a half, bruh at no point.
You don't walk like.
Can I get a regular stage at some juncture?
Right.
I mean, but again, that's Kanye West.
Listen, you could say, oh, it's hard.
Biggest stadium, LA.
We ain't seen a nigga in mad love.
He got the new album, just came out.
Nigga, I done seen you with.
Yeti's on stage.
I done seen you with floating stages.
I done seen you with zombies.
I done seen you with lights and funny glasses.
I done seen Kanye.
In all the ways, man.
This is the new way.
I'm not interested.
I don't... He's standing on top of the world.
Give a fuck, nigga.
Get out here and get to this shit.
Like, so what?
The globe wasn't your face?
Nah, they didn't do it for me, man.
Okay, you put a globe in the ground, man.
It was like the moon, it was like the earth.
It's art minimalism, man.
He's the king of minimalistic shit.
Son of a fuck!
It was his homage to Artemis II or whatever.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it was anime.
What was the anime?
Fucking Akira.
It's the Akira Dome.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
We ain't gonna be slanting Akira up in here.
We ain't gonna be, hey, no Akira slander.
Akira's amazing.
Love Akira.
Don't want to see Kanye on the Akira dome.
Fuck the dome.
Can I get a rec?
Can I get some other shit where I can see what's going on?
I didn't know you felt like that about the globe, bro.
I didn't know you felt like that.
I'm the only one?
No, I know.
I'm all by myself.
No, I know.
I get it because.
Yeah, like when it comes to.
But you know what, Eddie?
What was the shit we went to?
What was the one we went together to?
Free Larry Hoover.
Free Larry Hoover.
That was the Hoover joint, right?
Yep.
Was he on like a cloud or a mountain?
That's where it struck me.
That's where it hit me.
When we watched him and Drake in the fucking on the top of whatever that.
It was like a mountain, right?
No, they came down like on that hill over on the Coliseum.
It was some kind of nature shit like that.
It was some Yosemite Sam ass shit.
I listen, man.
I was with you.
We was at the thing, and I was like, all right, man.
This is cool and everything, man.
But I can't even see what the fuck's going on, man.
Y'all standing around dancing in shadows and shit, fucking shadow boxing or whatever the fuck is going on with moon boots on and shit.
You know what I'm saying?
If you remove the posting, like, hey, look, I'm here.
Look how cool this looks.
If you remove that right and you're actually there, and I can't speak upon this Kanye concert because I wasn't there, clearly.
But the one we went to the Free Larry Hoover, one after he's right after about 20 minutes you're like I can't really see you.
And then there's a lack of energy because you're so far from them and they're like doing this stuff and you're in this big cavernous stadium and you're like I mean, he saw him slap, but you're really far from me, my boy.
And you're just like walking around in circles.
Yeah, so after 20, 30 joints, you're like, okay, what are we doing next?
What's I dope dope song dope installation?
Yes.
Listen, I'm not I'm just no we get it.
We get it.
We get it I don't want this to seem like I don't think it's amazing.
I think it's amazing.
It was a glow.
Two things can be true.
And he was on top of it.
He's on top of the world and it was.
It was art looked awesome in photos.
Yes We showed up at the art installation I mean, I want to see the concert, man.
That's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying.
And I've seen some fucking fire Kanye concerts.
By the way, also have seen some fire stadium concerts, right?
Where you are far away, but they fill up the whole shit with like Cowboy Carter Renaissance.
Oh, my God.
No matter where your seat was at.
Bro, that shit was... GNX.
GNX rocking.
Yeah, yeah.
I get it.
That's all I'm saying.
But that's just Kanye.
We know that's Kanye.
So let's just leave it there, and that's how... And I'm saying, you know what?
I don't like the globe.
I don't like the globe.
All right, cool.
I understand.
Look, man, if he's your goat, I get it, man.
I really do.
I understand.
We don't, we're not taking that from you.
He's your goat, man.
We get it.
He's phenomenal.
The globe is a lot.
The globe is a lot.
No, I'm telling you if you would have been in there, I guarantee after 30 minutes people are just partying with their friends and they're listening.
Oh, yeah, like if we're in the suite or whatever, yeah, yeah.
I'm sitting in the suite chilling with whoever I'm with.
Like, after 30 minutes, yeah, enough.
I'll just watch on the screen.
There's a screen, though.
You can see it, though.
And I'll just watch it there.
I'll just watch it there.
If I'm at the show and I got to watch on the screen, now I'm tight.
Now I'm tight.
You could have live streamed this shit for me, my dude.
They did live stream it.
They live streamed it?
They live streamed it.
I would have been angry.
I would have been mad as hell.
I would be in my couch.
Because I was watching some of it.
I'm like, oh, this looks cool from here.
But it got to be annoying being there and being far up and watching just like a little ant walk around.
Man, y'all ain't never had nosebleed seats before.
Half the time you get bad seats, you just look at the screen.
You can see shit in all the fog and smoke.
It's like, where is he?
Sometimes you can't.
Just look at the screen.
Nah, it's fast.
Eddie not lying, though.
There is constant.
You've been way in the back.
He be like, fuck it.
This seat is trash.
I'm going to just look at this screen over here.
Uh-huh.
And you know, I'm happy I'm here.
I'm here with the people.
You want a beer?
Yeah, come on.
Let's go to the bar room.
Yeah, let's get it.
Because we ain't missing shit.
We can hear it.
We can hear that shit.
Yo, shout out to Meek Mill.
600 racks, fire the freestyles.
Eddie, where you at on the new Meek Mill and the freestyles?
So I heard the 600 rack, I didn't hear the freestyles.
And here's the thing, we love to...
Meek is his own meme, right?
You can make just a folder of stuff that Meek has done online.
And the way we consume artists nowadays.
Meek has done himself a disservice, as other artists like that.
But when it's just rapping, when it's just rapping, You're like, oh yeah, I like this guy.
You can rap your ass off, man.
Figure out the balance better, Meek, please.
Because I like you as a rapper.
How much of the Meek Mill narrative and this is a conversation that's going on started after the Drake beef.
Okay.
What about it?
Meaning the social media narrative, the jokes about him.
It was before that.
It was before that.
And Lowe, you just got into Amiga like three weeks ago.
Yeah, I was trying not to bring that up.
Wow, what happened?
So meek says something about LinkedIn, LinkedIn, right?
And I responded not on his tweet.
I responded on too cool to blog.
They, they, I think they framed it or whatever.
And I just was like, you know, sometimes I just be confused.
He saw that and we had a back and forth about.
You know, people talking about him.
Like you know, in regards to propaganda,
Do we have the tweets?
Yeah, like, I'll try to find it.
Let's show the tweet.
Put the tweets up for the audience while we talk.
Continue.
All I was trying to say was like I'd just be confused at some of his thought process, of how he tries to figure things out in regards to like the industry and to new ideas and everything.
He's very inquisitive.
He's very curious, which is not the issue.
But he'll be asking, like, yo, I need a management team or I need a lawyer, this, that, and third.
He's asking Twitter.
And it's like, bro, like, the people that you're around... pretty much have access to all of that.
Now I'm not mad at him trying to figure out a different way to attain the information or who to reach out to I get all that but just his success alone and just what he's been able to accomplish with Reform, with Roc Nation, with Dream Chasers, I feel like a lot of the stuff that he says just makes me scratch my head.
But this plays into what I'm talking about.
And again, it's not a bad thing.
I'm not looking, I just, I'm just curious about the thought process sometimes.
And he, he gets very vocal about explaining why he does what he does.
And what is his reason?
He said he does it on purpose.
He said he does it on purpose.
I can relate to this.
I've done this before.
Yeah.
I could call anybody and get answers to anything.
Sometimes I just go on social media because I want to see what people either A know and share for the sake of other people seeing the conversation.
It's social media.
I think, but now people make fun of me all the time.
Oh, you were old head, you could have did this, you should have did that.
Because they exist in a space in social media where they go out and they try to act cool.
So social media to them because they're not really cool to them is a place where they get to go act cool.
I go on social media on some like, I just trying to have regular convo and just chill.
You trying to, you know, You're trying to pluck information.
I'm not trying to be too cool on social media.
You're trying to pluck information.
You're trying to find out.
Or I'm just trying to have open dialogue with regular people in a regular life.
Like, yo, did you hear about this?
Or it happened the other day with the fucking, what was the shit?
A stove guy?
Stove guy.
Oh, yeah.
He was mad at you about that shit.
Now, show that one while he's talking.
Yeah show, the show got shit, which then West Side Gun jumps in and was like yo idiots, he's doing this so that y'all have the convo.
I could have the convo privately with whoever the fuck wherever, but that doesn't create the inertia around the thing.
Right?
And I didn't know who Stove God Cook was signed to.
I don't give a fuck what label artists are on and shit like that.
Are you dope or nah?
Like, I don't give a fuck.
I want to talk to you about you, not who you decide to do a business deal with.
So i actually went and asked behind the scenes while i was tweeting that not knowing that people was like angry that i had niggas niggas was hitting me stupid.
But this plays into why i brought up the drake.
This plays into that because anything i do that is remotely exposing a vulnerability of some sort is cut up and used as fodder to create a narrative, a negative narrative, around anything I'm doing.
Luckily, I'm actually more a business professional than I am a host.
So the antics that y'all see me doing on this type shit, the people I work with know it's just for entertainment.
It's the role you play with this show.
But in real.
Now, somebody like Meek People unfortunately think that what he shows on social media is also his business endeavors as well.
No, I don't try to create a narrative.
Not you.
I'm just saying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They try to create a narrative around who he is as a human being.
Right.
And try to remove the cool factor away from his rapper thing, because a rapper needs that cool factor.
He's got it.
Right.
And so I don't need the cool factor.
I'm just some dude who pontificates on platforms.
I don't need it.
But a rapper, but a rapper, you know, they got to still keep some sort of the aura.
So they're trying to rob Mika that aura.
But I think what happens is the conversation gets a little blurred because he does it so much.
He has the aura.
He has the cool.
No, he don't.
No, he don't.
I think he does.
I'm not trying to be funny.
I'm not saying he doesn't as a person.
Meek has fucked up his own aura.
Part of being a rapper is what Ebro was saying, is that persona, that mystique towards the public.
And social media has deconstructed so much of that.
Pre-social media, you didn't know.
Is your favorite rapper dumb?
Is he strung out?
You just wouldn't know.
And now because... because Meek posts so much, this is the conversation with Meek now.
It's rarely about the music and it's more about, and he's not the only one.
He is not, and he's not even the only rapper.
I'm just not gonna name more of them.
But because of that that's a bigger part of Meek's public persona than the music he's done himself kind of a disservice with that.
And I know, I've interviewed me, he said he does it on purpose.
He's like, yo, people think I'm stupid online, I do it, I think it's funny.
Like, that's not a win for you.
It's just not.
Well, and so what Eddie just said, people tell me that.
Like, why would you do that on social?
I'll be like, because I don't give a fuck.
This shit is funny to me.
But I don't need a rapper aura.
But if part of your business is kind of this mystique right and people looking at you a certain way to Eddie's point, I think the internets know that.
And so that's why, and look, y'all say it was happening before the Drake thing.
I'm letting y'all know and I'm standing on it.
Anybody that got beef with academics Drake or anyone else watch how the algorithm moves against them.
Pay attention to it.
It's consistent.
And I done had mix-ups with, and maybe I done had Tekashi69 DaBarbs Drake Uzi, Vert fans academics pick a thing.
Okay Cole, I got a question for you then, because this is something that, if that's the conversation we're having about the algorithm working against you, if you're on the other side of it, like the OVO and the academics and stuff, even conversations I feel like you're just kind of normally having, whether it's on this show or the other show, you're not being able to get interviews.
That became a big thing.
That was everywhere.
But you know me enough to know that I get mad interviews.
That's why I look at it.
I'm like.
But so we were saying that combo as it was tongue in cheek, because someone I know for a long time, who loves me, was like yo, send me the deets on your show.
I want to add it to a thing.
I turned it into yo.
They got me sending out stats for my show because they don't want to, because that's entertainment.
Right.
That's funny.
Knowing that. that either A, people would take it apart and run it around.
Which they did.
Y'all, I've been doing this for 30 years.
I know exactly what y'all gonna run with, which they did, right?
And they wanted to take a video where we wasn't even in a studio.
I happened to be on the road fucking working with Apple at a 50th anniversary with fucking Paul McCartney of the Beatles.
But but in the Internet world, they've spun it into because they're not watching this show.
Right?
They're trying to take that show and tear that show down because they don't want that show to be successful.
Because of your relationship with Hot.
Even the headline said, as Rosenberg internet goes out.
I'm like, wow, that was kind of a weird thing.
And his internet didn't even really go out.
Well no, because he was in the process of moving, which is the other thing we were joking about because him and his wife and I got a new baby and they needed to get a new apartment.
So they were in the process of moving.
And the only time he could get the mover.
Listen, when you live in New York City, shit is rough.
He couldn't get the movers to come at a certain time.
So we just turned it all into the show and the internet, ate it up and ran around and promoted the whole shit.
Which I appreciate the promo, but once again, I don't need the aura.
Well, yeah, because your job is to discuss, talk, debate.
Your job is to do that every fucking day.
So the aura is not really a necessity or a tool for you.
The knowledge and the questions and all that other shit is the tool.
The order's not there.
It's the Meek conversation.
Huh?
But it's the Meek.
But we're not even talking about him no more.
It's the Meek.
But my point is what they try to do to make someone who is Meek, who is a rapper right and that is his business, who is probably trying to have more human, regular moments just hanging out on the internet being a regular dude.
And the question is because?
Then you look at other rappers and this is why other rappers aren't showing.
Yo, everybody has things they're nerdy and goofy about.
Whether you're a street dude, whatever it is, hustler, whatever.
The rappers that are giving y'all that mystique.
They're the ones they're not sharing with y'all on a regular basis and this is why is because they're holding on to the mystique so that you continue to buy into whatever that brand is, so that they could sell you concert tickets and get streams and sell music.
Somebody like Meek was like, look, I ain't got nothing to prove.
His thought process is like I ain't got nothing to prove to y'all, like i'm really this guy that i rap about, but at the same time when, if you have that mantra, if you have that mindset, you can't get upset when people scratch their head and and ask or curious about thought process or why you say the things that you do, or at the volume you say it, And if you're giving us a genuine response of like yo, I'm trying to acquire information.
I want to see who's doing what, where it's at, and where the money's going.
If that's the case, then that's fine.
And that's all it is.
But I think that's what he was doing.
But once again, it just goes into people want him to be a certain way.
Yeah, and he's not going to do that.
And he's like, I'm being myself, and y'all want to pick it apart.
And so now, because I, so why did he ask for a LinkedIn?
Because I think it was, he wanted to get more information, like in the tech space.
He wanted more information, more connections in the tech space.
And you don't think that Meek doesn't have people he can ask?
No, but I'm just saying y'all really believe that Meek Mill doesn't have people he can ask that to privately?
I mean, yeah, but it's just like, bro, like, all right.
I'm going to be real with you, bro.
I try not to use my logic for other people.
Like, maybe he does.
Yeah, I guess.
People do weird stuff all the time.
All right, so boom, he's doing something weird.
Boom, let's go with what you're saying.
He's doing something weird.
As much as Meek Mill talks about wanting to put on for reform or wanting to put on for people who don't have, and wanting to do all these things for these things, Nobody's brain goes.
Oh, he doing that so that regular people who follow him could see this process play out in real time.
If that's the case, then again to Eddie's point, not trying to use my logic of how I would do it or how it should be done.
If that's what it is and if that's how he's wired, then I'll stay out of that shit.
I'll just stick to the music.
I'll leave it alone.
And, by the way, I'm just basing that on meeting him multiple times and watching him not shy away from these moments on social
Because if he wasn't, listen, I guarantee y'all something.
When somebody's not being their truest form of themselves and they get made fun of in that moment and they're being something fraudulent, you're never going to see them do it again.
Yeah, they'll fall back.
And that's what we're watching right now with this Jack Harlow album, last album.
Meaning like, yo, bro, you saying this was really the type of time you was on?
Stick with it, my G. Right.
Do it again.
Do it again.
Go back.
Go back.
Double up.
But you feel what I mean?
Because if that's really in your heart, you're not going to let people scare you off of that.
And so you're saying with Meek.
This is really his heart.
Despite how I may look or how I'm asking these questions, I'm still going to ask these questions every day and do it in my own way.
And I'm going to do it because I'm doing it with people.
Like, I'm out here with the people.
Again, I just looked at it, I just scratched my head to certain things.
But having this conversation, it gives me a different light and I respect it.
But it also plays in, like you know and I say this as a old head like because I've always been seen by people who are like social media mavens and all this other shit about what you're supposed to do and not do on socials, including this jerk off right would be like yo.
That's not how you use Twitter.
That's not how you use, you're not supposed to do that on Instagram.
You're not supposed to do this.
Yo, because I was the guy on social media, I would pop up and be like yo.
I heard people buying followers.
Where them joints at?
I'm going to have a million tomorrow.
And people be like, yo, why are you telling people that?
I'll be like, why not?
If people was doing it, who gives a shit?
I'm not going to lie, man.
I used to do that.
Everybody be like, yo, he's telling people he's buying followers.
Yeah.
I'm letting people know that for $5, I can have 50,000 people tomorrow.
You be moving crazy as hell on social media.
Because he don't care.
He don't give a fuck.
There was a time where I would just take people's shit and throw it up.
And people be like, you're not supposed to do that.
Says who?
Who?
Where?
It's frowned upon when you still tweet.
You can't do that, man.
No, he can do that shit all the time.
Yo, I cut and paste your shit and repost that shit.
Bro.
Where is this rating at?
Y'all take this shit so serious.
It's not yours.
Like, it's literally not yours.
It's owned by a corporation and they're just monetizing our behavior.
And y'all act like this is really your identity.
It's not.
Well, it's my thought. and respect my thought and don't take my thought.
No, it's my fucking thought.
Nah, you probably stole it.
You read it somewhere and saw somebody else talking about it.
I know how you get down to it.
You's a fucking liar.
I don't even be on there no more.
I be on there just for this.
Yeah.
You only be on there when you promote the show.
That's the only time I see you on there.
Yo, my favorite shit is to go into Twitter and throw a grenade and then not check back in for like three days and see if the people was angry enough to keep going for like three, four days.
You know what happens?
You know what happens?
Especially when we post our clips.
I'll post my clip or I'll repost one of y'all clips and I'll just let that shit sit for at least 48 hours.
And my shit will not stop buzzing.
And I won't say nothing about it.
I'm like, all right, y'all take it.
Y'all discuss it.
I do love how much y'all love giving us energy, though.
I want to say thank you for the love and the hate, the sharing.
It's going great.
It is going great.
Appreciate y'all.
You know what I'm saying?
We got to talk Gucci Mane, Pooh Shiesty.
I'm a civilian, so I don't really...
I don't even know what we can actually talk about like that.
What is there to discuss?
Let me read it.
The U.S.
Department of Justice says Gucci Mane was allegedly kidnapped and robbed at a Dallas recording studio by a group that included rappers Pooh Shiesty and Big 30.
According to a January 10th complaint, the incident involved an armed takeover where Scheisse allegedly brandished an AK style pistol and forced the victim to sign a recording contract release at gunpoint.
For those out there learning and watching.
If you force someone to sign a contract under the guise of like harm or death, that doesn't hold up in court.
But also, would they know, though, if the undercover officer wasn't in Gucci Mane's security detail?
Yeah, that's the off-duty officer.
Or would they have known if you didn't have an ankle monitor on where you had got a phone call before the incident telling you to go back home because you're not allowed to be at the studio currently?
Or was it the cameras?
Or was it the rental car that they caught?
Oh, I care.
So there's a lot of things here.
The one thing, though, I got to say.
And and they make sidewalks for people like me, because I'm not in the street, but just as a person, an observer.
That's a good one.
I like that.
I like that.
As an observer when you are conducting business.
Right, that is not crime.
We're not in a crime syndicate.
Together we're not doing crime together.
We have signed a contract.
There have been lawyers that have looked over this.
There have been an exchange of financial revenue that's moved through banks and systems like it is all above board.
And so then if crime takes place Against me as the business individual, like I'm calling the authorities, like where I'm, we're not in cahoots Take.
So I see the internet calling Gucci a rat and all of this other stuff.
I
Gucci put out a video.
He was like, I ain't called nobody.
I ain't said nothing to nobody and said nothing.
I don't even fuck with the police like that.
I cool.
You were at a place of business that has cameras like the internet saying that Gucci called.
He's also got security.
And he's traveled to a different.
You think, when Gucci Mane travels to a different city, that he's not from?
He's not having qualified certified, licensed individuals.
Of course he is.
Making sure that he's not in harm's way?
Of course he is.
Because clearly he's in harm's way.
Clearly.
That's what I got from this.
That's exactly what I got from this.
Harm's way.
So to your point, if we're not in the streets doing something that we're not supposed to be doing, right?
If we're not in the streets doing you know.
Whatever the case is, you're coming to a place of business.
You're putting a gun in somebody's head and then you rob them.
Rob them.
What do you think is supposed to happen?
How do you think someone's supposed to handle it?
I'm talking about to the people that think this is a snitch.
I think most people I saw most people using uh logical, uh using logic to you know articulate what went on here and both basically saying poo shiesty played himself and must have wanted to go back to jail because how was this ever gonna play out in a way that was going to be- In his favor?
In your favor.
I just I think it's unfortunate to kind of go along with that testament right there, because you hear somebody that I mean there's a million jokes been made about the new 1017 and all the artists that Gucci signed and how they're either jail or not around anymore.
May they rest in peace.
And here you have somebody who's talented in Pooh Shiesty.
He gets this opportunity, he signs to this contract and it seems like he's the hot one.
Like, of all the new 1017 artists, it's like, boom.
Like kids in the suburbs, were wearing Pooh Shiesty.
I call them Shiestys.
I don't even know the name of them things, them ski masks.
I don't call them that.
Nobody's ever called them that.
That's what they're called?
Well, no, that's the actual name.
Look, bro has a whole wave.
Before he goes to jail, everybody's listening to this man's music.
Like, he is one of the voices of the street.
Kids in the suburbs, NBA players wearing shitey.
He gets locked up.
We know that can get weird in this industry.
Like if you're not around for a little bit, we can kind of forget about you.
And then when he comes out, he drops FDO.
That goes crazy.
And you're like, boom, here we go.
So not only did you defy the odds several times, being from the streets of Memphis, you know his dad is like an OG of Memphis.
So, you know, there's... he could have got clogged up a million different ways.
Sign the contract, get hot, get locked up, get out still be hot and then to kind of like I don't know, spit in the face of your blessings and do something like this
And yet again, I'm with Ebro.
I am not from the streets.
But I just think it's unfortunate that somebody gave you this lottery ticket this many times and then you resolve to doing this, and I don't know how this is legally going to play out, but it seems like it's a rap for you, my dog, and I think that sucks.
It's just idiotic, bro.
You got to call it what it is.
That shit is idiotic.
Like there's no other.
There's no other logic that that you put on the table to make it look like this was even remotely close to being a good idea.
Nothing about anything that has transpired should make you think like yeah, we can get away with this, or yeah, this is going to work, or yeah, we're not going to get caught, like nothing.
Yeah, I think that's the biggest problem I have.
Like nothing about this said ah, probably with an ankle monitor on and a different.
Like I said, I'm not in the street.
But if I was, I would have looked at this plan and said, not good plan.
Does anyone have a plan B?
Is there a plan B?
Did you guys know the studio beforehand?
Had anybody looked around for cameras, disconnected cameras?
Like, was there anything?
You have an ankle monitor on.
Maybe you shouldn't come on this trip.
Sir, you have an ankle monitor on.
Maybe this trip is not for you.
Maybe you should stay away from this trip because that The word is monitor.
They're watching.
So you probably shouldn't come with us.
You know what I'm saying?
They're watching.
They can see a signal transmitting from your ankle about your whereabouts.
24-7.
24-7.
So, yeah, nah.
It's not what you want.
I'll go out on a limb here, hot take.
This is not what you want.
That's the hot take?
That's the hot take.
It's not what you want.
It's not what you want.
Anything else we missed here that y'all want to get to?
Oh shit, shout out to my guy J1.
He just dropped his project, North Star.
J1!
Check that shit out.
It's a really, really good project.
Stands away from how his father raps and how he makes music.
Who's his dad?
Jadakiss.
Boom.
So yeah, y'all check that shit out.
Tough project.
Carving out his own lane.
Yes, absolutely.
There you go.
Love to see it.
Absolutely.
Shout out to 2 Chainz and Static Select.
My guy 2 Chainz, Static Select.
Love both of y'all.
That record pops.
Meaningful record out there.
Key Glock got a new single.
Don Tolliver and Lil Baby.
Yo, Eddie, you were saying Don Tolliver's in convos.
Best album of the year so far.
Yeah, because not only have people said it, it's sticking.
If you look at the Apple streams of top albums, in a week where you have Kanye West and Yeet and BTS, My boy, Don Tolliver, is still streaming like top five.
And the album came out, I believe, January 30th.
And for it to still in a time and era where it's always like first week, first week, maybe second week, and you kind of die out from there, like the singles are still like gaining steam.
And it's a real conversation of Don Tolliver has never dropped a bad album, but something specifically going on with Octane, where it is sticking with folks.
There's great music on there.
You brought up Yeet.
I'm working on a social experiment.
I'm trying to find Yeet fans.
Now, I was told, why y'all laughing, man?
You said social experiment.
No, I did this once before with Rod Wave, right?
Because Rod Wave was doing crazy numbers.
And I was like, I want to know who these people are.
So I went to a Rod Wave concert, and I saw who they were.
Like, these are real people.
Rod Wave, they were singing songs, boom.
Yeet, I'm told you know, he had a thing here in the city where it was like a pop-up and it was like Yeah yeah, I remember that.
It was going crazy, crazy, crazy.
Yeah, those mad people there.
Mad people.
Mad people there.
So that was someone putting me on to something in real life.
But if we have any Yeet fans watching this, I want to meet you.
I want to know you.
Why is that funny, man?
I'm not laughing.
I get it.
No, hip hop is so big now that there's, like, social circles that you're just not a part of, man.
Like, you know any Yeet fans?
See?
Does it look like I know any Yeet fans?
Yo, have you looked at bro's track list?
No.
Because I'm not a Heat fan.
Right, but I'm just saying, it's something happening in hip-hop, man.
Yeah, I know there's a movement going on.
Like, I understand and I respect it.
I see it.
I'm just not a Heat fan.
I'm not going to get involved in that.
NBA Youngboy.
Yeah, I'm not going to get involved in that.
Grimes.
Elton John.
Don Tolliver.
Benny X. Kid Cudi.
070 Shake, that's the homie from Jersey.
Swizz Beatz on the Yeet album.
That's gonna convince me.
I'm just... Okay.
No, again, I'm not here to say, yo, his music is whack or it sucks or whatever the case is.
I'm here to say, just like him, I don't know any geek fans.
Also, it's just not my wheelhouse.
So I'm going to stay away from something that's not my wheelhouse.
Why stay away from it?
Because that doesn't look like Why you can't listen to it and be like.
It doesn't look like something I would be interested in.
I've heard some of the stuff that's not in my wheelhouse, so I'm not gonna do it.
I'm trying to be positive this year, right?
Instead of shitting on stuff.
Hey, that's not my stuff.
Let's just put that over there and let y'all have it.
Is that not respectable?
Hey, I'm not a Yeet fan.
But you don't know this shit.
I listen to some of the music, and I am not a Yeet fan.
I'm trying to be respectful as I can.
Eddie, where we at with you on Yeet, man?
I'm not a Yeet demographic, man.
Look at me.
That's what I'm saying, like, bro, like, stop playing dumb.
He said he's black and he's not 20.
I want to hear more.
I'm not a Yeet demographic.
So you don't think there's older black folks that like Yeet?
There might be.
No.
No.
Uh-uh.
Yeah, yeah.
He's always right straight to it.
You're calm in that prediction, too.
Uh-uh.
Nah.
And I know somebody gonna get in the comments lying like I'm a 34-year-old black man and I love yeet.
You're lying.
You're a bot.
Let's wrap the segment.
