The volume.
Speaker 2Do we want to stay just quickly in music?
Not that I mean this may be more of a Patreon thing.
I'm just still a rap NERD Beans put out his list to top five Philly rappers excluding himself.
Speaker 3I was actually curious what your list would be Philly rap.
Speaker 2Yeah, so this is Bean's top five greatest Philly without him, of course, number one, Black Thought, number two, Young Chris three, Freeway four, Meek Mill five, Gilly excluding him.
Speaker 4Yeah, I would want to hear where y'all put Beans on there.
I know he excluded him, but ya, Beans is number two.
Speaker 2To me, my list would be Black Thought one, Beans too, Freeway three, Chris four.
Actually I got to stop wing, but then I don't know where to put even right now, Beans is number one.
I'm not mad at that Beans being number one.
Speaker 5Beans is one of my Black Thought is a fucking alien.
He could probably rap better than ninety nine percent of nig on planet.
I would say one, but I don't listen to Black Thought as much as I listened to Being.
Speaker 6Okay, but we're talking about the greatest rap and me.
Speaker 4You have had this discussion too, where just because you listen to something more doesn't make it greater, so greater rappers.
Speaker 2I'm still going my five.
I'm sticking with.
I'm just I feel like Eve deserves to be in that five.
But I have Black Thought, Beans, Freeway, Chris, Meek, But I want Eve to be somewhere out there because she deserves.
Speaker 3To be there.
She does.
But if it's five, I don't.
Speaker 2Like, does Chris rap better than Eve?
Of course, but I still have to put in like Gilly, what Eve has done?
Speaker 4Gilly rap better than Eve?
Yes, I'm not familiar with Gilly's pen.
Speaker 3No, Gilly is a great rapper.
Is a really really really good rapper?
Speaker 6Just wonder.
Speaker 2Yeah, Gilly rats better than Meek.
Yeah, but I put Meek there just because of what Meek has accomplished with songs, and but Gilly rap better than me for sure.
Speaker 3I think Meek would probably say that, No, he does, It's not, I mean it's not he does Gilly.
Speaker 5Listen a lot of y'all met Gilly through podcasting, like, yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, it was putting out you know, he was dropping joys.
Speaker 3He was on every fucking DVD.
Speaker 5Like, Gilly definitely raps better than a lot of people think and a lot of people really don't know Gilly's you know, his his his bars like that, but trust and believe he's definitely one of the illo for.
Speaker 3Philly, and it puts some respect just on Philly periods.
Speaker 2I mean, the way people talk about home taking Young Christ's flow, people can say the same thing about Wayne.
When everything shifted, it was a Gilly flow.
Speaker 3It was definitely I mean Philly, he said.
Speaker 5Gilly said, you was wearing soft toed rebox when I met you.
Y'all wasn't watching.
Speaker 2Flow is iconic.
The way Wayne we talk about being so influential, like there's a Gilly flow.
Yeah, Like I'm not on the side that he your ghost rip everything for Wayne or I don't want to get in the weeds to that.
But Philly, between Detroit and Philly, I think are probably the two best cities of just straight rapping.
Speaker 3Like you just got rap.
Speaker 4New York's not in it just to rap, not song.
He not the most song why just bars, just bars?
Speaker 3Philly and Detroit there, man, that's top two to you.
Speaker 5You bugging the funk out man, You think Detroit rap better than New York?
Speaker 3You crazy as a motherfucker.
Speaker 2All right, big pun versus Eminem.
And you know, I'm not even a big M fan like that?
Speaker 3Why you snatch Big Pun?
Speaker 2Because how you were doing new or doing New York?
Speaker 6How did you get that that was horrible to do?
Speaker 3How was that Big Pun in Eminem?
What kind of matchup is that?
Speaker 2We talk about people that just just rap, really, we don't think Big Pun raps really really.
Speaker 5Really well, yes, but I'm saying is not one of the New York yet.
All right, So why you didn't name Jayz?
Why you didn't name Nas?
Speaker 2I think Pun and M have a similar flow than nads in Eminem or Jay and Eminem.
I think Pun and Eminem are closer together as far as how they rap.
Speaker 3What do you know how Jay started rapping?
Speaker 2Yeah, like the fucking double time pullshit, that's not what em does dead in the middle, Like I can't even do that shit, that's end to me.
Speaker 5That's one rap, that's one part of a rat you talked about.
That wasn't Pun styling throughout his.
Speaker 2Career for sure, But I mean the first album rapping, rapping like he rapped with black thought.
Speaker 5Actually no, pun, No, don't don't get it twisted.
But matter of fact, it's somebody named it Black Thought.
Speaker 2And the first thing when he even got on Pun's album was just in Philly.
It was like, Yo, that's the one in New York that just raps better than everybody.
That's why he wanted to get on that ship because Pun was one of.
Speaker 5Those I'm not saying Pun wasn't, but it's just weird for you to say Pun versus Eminem, like who's Hawaii?
Speaker 2Might the first person he defines jay Z and how his rap style is.
Speaker 5No, I'm not saying that, but you might be the first person to ever say big Pun or Eminem.
You might be the first person to ever say that.
Speaker 2I'm not doubling down just because I'm fucking hard headed.
I do think that's a very fair comparison.
And if you're doing Detroit versus New York of who raps similar, Punt and m are very close in that.
All right, I'm taking Pun well, I and too, But that's I'm we're talking about.
So now the Golden Horston Detroit is out.
So now who you got?
I leave New York away from all these.
Don't do the bias.
Speaker 3Don't do that.
Speaker 5Nah, you said Detroit and Philly are the best rap cities.
Speaker 3That's what you said.
Speaker 2Yeah, because in Detroit you have m Royce, l Zi.
Speaker 5Yep, legends rap is for real shit, I'm just having a brain fard.
It's okay, Yeah, should I start naming New York because I can, Like, if you want to just start naming New York for you, I can you know who.
Speaker 6Would you name in New York taking away song making ability just rap?
Speaker 2Just because why I'm making that comparison is yes, of course New York freestyle like that, but New York was so focused on making songs from the nineties in two thousands.
In Philly and Detroit, who's just rapping no hours on end.
Speaker 5Just Philly is one of my favorite rap cities.
You'll never hear me say anything about the Spinners.
I'm talking about the niggas that really cor rapt from Philly, Like it's incredible balls that we can we can quote.
But when you say best rap cities and you go Detroit and Philly and it's like.
Speaker 2What I think, m Royce and Lzi is the craziest three when it comes to just rapping, like period.
Speaker 3J nods and Big.
Speaker 5Show talking about about who are you talking about?
Nobody raps better?
Than Jaynas and Big nobody on planet.
Speaker 2I'm not gonna I know where my bias stands on everything, But so what are we talking about.
Speaker 4We're going to give you on y'all ass fighting for Eminem to be better than all three of them.
Speaker 6Y'all do not know.
Speaker 5Better than who jns are big?
Yeah, people, you niggas better go back and listen to some music.
Jay z Nas and Biggie are the best.
Speaker 2I always take j over M in any category.
But I can total see why someone be like not if you print out a piece of paper, Yes, he's rapping better than everybody.
Speaker 3That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4Somebody from LA is screaming across the coast right now about.
Speaker 5By LA rappers respect to all the all the major cities.
You know, we we we can name a bunch of cities.
But I'm just saying Rory said.
Speaker 2Even the last ten years and has been out rapping everybody.
Speaker 3L has been out rapping everybody.
Speaker 2He's had this conversation easy, but if you're going back to the night he's like, yeah, it's Snoop incredible, of course, but it doesn't add up to all the rappers that were in New York at that time.
Speaker 5You told about rapping every time.
Yeah, you say Snoop name.
I just think about that Snoop and DMX versus.
I hate that versus so much.
I hate that they did that, that match up.
You didn't hate that match up, of course, like I hate it.
I really can't believe they did that.
Speaker 3Like DMX said, he was molested and y'all kept dancing.
But to you, he's always got to make your with that.
That was my takeaway from that.
Yeah, I just I hated that.
Speaker 5I would think that Snoop and DMX was supposed to be in the verses against each other like that was.
Speaker 3I didn't like that matchup, but recipiece of the Act.
Speaker 6To be fair, sorry, who would you have rather matched them up with?
Speaker 4Because what I saw that was I saw that as more of a celebration in a real versus, because.
Speaker 6Who would you put them against?
Speaker 3Snoop?
Speaker 6Snoop might be easier.
Who would you put dm Mexicans?
Speaker 5Oh hmm, I don't know.
I would have put xagons.
I'd have to think about that.
Because we were recording, I can't really think of it.
But I just didn't remember when they announced that.
I was just like Snoop versus DMX, it just that was just it just never felt if I mean, were looking at it, we.
Speaker 3Snoop Dogg and then DMX was the dog man.
Speaker 5I think they tried to lean, they went that way with him, but if you told my catalog and and you know, skills set, and it just it wasn't a good matchup.
Speaker 3No for sure.
Speaker 4But that's why I said I think some of I think some of the verses were more celebrations than.
Speaker 3I mean, that's what it turned out to be, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5But I just didn't like I remember when they announced that, I was kind of like, I don't really like that, but I was happy that they gave DMX that platform because a lot of people needed a history lesson on DMX.
Speaker 3So that was dope.
Speaker 2I think that kind of ties into the t pay rant on a club shah.
Speaker 3Let me not call it a rant.
I hate that word.
Speaker 2He he was talking about Khaled during his club shah shit and saying more or less, I'm paraphrasing, Cali was my best friend when he needed me for the first three fucking albums, and then then after that, when I got a little colder, I don't hear from cald.
Speaker 3I.
Speaker 2Okay, you know I Teddy bender ass is one of my favorite of all time.
I'm not here to even defend this some music industry, Why would you expect Kalen to be your friend?
I get what you're saying.
Maybe it's because I'm so Jayla at this point and we've had a similar conversation with I don't have the expectations of people anymore, will I look at it?
Kind of funny if we was sitting in the studio for ten years straight and we brothers this and that and having fun, and then all of a sudden, you don't call.
Yeah, I think that's corny and weird.
So that's what he's like, that's what he's saying.
Expect it, But that's what he's saying.
Speaker 5Though, Like if we did all of that, we have all of this history together, we probably had some you know, heart to heart conversations, spent a lot of time.
You know, families probably know each other to an extent, like and then all of a sudden, like I can't get a All we did was win.
Yeah, I can't get a return phone call.
I can't if I reached out for something.
Maybe you know I wanted you on a record and I couldn't get that from you.
I could understand t pain stance of, you know, fuck DJ Khaled, But the thing I don't understand is, and I've said it and people kill me for saying it, but DJ Khaled is obviously very self serving.
Yeah, And I don't understand how people don't understand or see that by now, like he's very self serving.
Sure why he's been the businessman that he's been in the music business, right, So I mean, but again, T Pain probably felt like they were a little close or a little.
Speaker 3Better than that.
Speaker 5And you know, I mean, it is what it is, if that's what his stance, If his stance is, he's not fucking with Caled, and I'm sure he has because T Pain is not somebody that I can remember ever having a real issue with anybody other than auto to him.
Speaker 2I don't want to talk about Khaled's character per se, because I don't really know Khaled as a human being.
But when I was at deaf Jam, he was an executive.
While I was at deaf Jam, he was an executive there and an executive.
Speaker 3At Sony, which was unheard of.
Speaker 2He's also a DJ, executive and DJs are only working with what's hot at the moment.
There's no tie to anything.
Kaled actually doesn't.
I don't think gets the credit.
He deserves to be the executive that he is, but he has the mind of a DJ and executive.
He's only going to fuck with what's high and pitch it as if they're brother.
You don't think le Or Cohen's self serving?
Yeah, you don't think Lucian Range is self serving?
Speaker 4Yeah?
Speaker 2You don't think Kevin Laos is self not self serving?
Like as humans in their personal lives, like I'm sure with their families, they're amazing people.
Speaker 3Yeah, but business we're talking about.
Speaker 4Yeah, you have to be to be successful.
Speaker 2Listen, those those companies are net thirty, net sixty, net ninety, not just with paying people, but also with the relationship with that person one hundred two thousand.
You're only as funky as your last cut.
I don't owe you shit, but you can't because you know, because because because music is so emotional and you're pouring your life into it, some some people rightfully so view it as that it's not it's a transaction knowledge which I don't care about it that I'm not one of those people.
Speaker 5It's not for some people.
It's not because you have a lot of art.
It's not one of those people.
And I know that, but I'm just saying you have a lot of You have a lot of artists and a lot of producers that work together, that are very close, that are like family.
And I feel like, you know, maybeald Well, maybe T Paint felt like that was him in Kalid, Like like we can go back and look at the history.
T Pain was on every big Kalid record when it was We the Best and all of that, like it was it.
Speaker 3Was T Pain everywhere.
I mean, it was ace Hood everywhere.
Speaker 5And now both of these gentlemen have you know, certain feelings towards DJ Khalet, But I mean it's looking like they're they're both in the same boat, and they're right like Khalid used them when they was hot, you know, it was making a lot of records, making big songs together.
Speaker 3Then once Bieber sent his vocals back, it was like fuck ace Hood, fuck T Pay.
Speaker 5Once you get in Future vocals and Beyonce vocals and Rihanna vocals, it's like, I don't need T Pain no more.
When I got Future, I don't need you know, ace hood when I got Hove sending you know, versus back and I got nas in the studio and I got you know, so, I mean T Pain probably felt like, all right, well I asked for a record, which is probably what he did, and Kali didn't get back to him, didn't and so now you're like, okay, it's like that.
Speaker 3I well, then this is how I feel.
Speaker 5Fuck you, And T Pain is not wrong for that because again, this is the music industry, and we know it's business.
But through business and through you know, spending so much time working with certain people, you build a relationship, you build a chemistry, you build a friendship, you build even family at some pople We've seen a lot of people in the industry become family through working with each other, and you know, sometimes it goes that way.
Sometimes it's you find out this person was just using and I think that's what tea pain is at.
Speaker 2Yeah, where do you I mean, where do you fall on the side of if you're not being used, you're useless?
Speaker 5I mean, yes, not about pain, but no, no, no, no, I give what you're saying, because.
Speaker 2My problem with this whole thing is Khalid is creative enough and T Pain is a goat.
You could Kalient and T Pain can make a hit record right now.
Speaker 5But but you know it's I mean, listen, man, I'm not the biggest cal Like I don't like.
Speaker 3Many of the Kalid projects.
I don't go back to a lot of those, the early ones.
I definitely like, well the early one.
Yeah, that's who was on the early ones.
I think.
Speaker 2So, what's the one with his son on the cover?
That is his son EPs?
I love that one.
Yeah, I don't want to mispronounce his son's name, but yeah, I love that.
That was probably my last favorite Kala.
Speaker 5Yeah, but I just don't you know, I get it, man, And it's a tough pill to swallow when you realize that people's only using you because you was hot at the moment.
Speaker 3But it's a real thing.
Speaker 2And I mean, I hate to go back to the first point of executive and DJ, like he's a DJ.
Even if you go to Flex, like, yeah, there's probably artists that had two great records in ninety eight that Flex played all the time.
Does Flex owe them the twenty twenty five record they want to put out?
Speaker 3Like he's a DJ?
He just moves on to the next thing.
Speaker 4But that's completely that's completely different.
Speaker 2I'm sure, and I hate to just put Flex in this, even though I'm critical Flex, I don't want to put something on his character.
I'm sure Flex is called Mike Geronimo brother before, and I love my drop, Like I'm just using an example of somebody that had a great record in the nineties.
I'm sure Mike has went to Flex after like yo, I got this other record and Flex was moving on to DMX at that time, Like, yeah.
Speaker 3I'm just playing other show, so you could do that.
Speaker 5Then I could say, do you think that if Pat Poos ever went to Rest in Peace case Slave with a record, Slave wouldn't have played.
Speaker 3It wouldn't have happened.
Fair wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 2I'm trying to think, like with Clue now, because even Clue, when I mean Rand is probably one of the best rappers of twenty twenty five, twenty four, twenty three, But I'm sure when Rand was trying to find a record, Yeah, Clue played a lot.
Speaker 3Of Rand on the radio.
Now I think about.
Speaker 2It, so we know DJ's he had investment, and I don't know Clue in Rand's actual personal relationship.
I'm only outside looking in about the entire thing.
Clue had an invested stock into eighteen with pitch in Ransom, so he had a incentive outside of probably loving their music.
He wouldn't sign them if he didn't, but he had an incentive to do so.
I mean, does Kalent have an incentive outside of ace hood is a different conversation, But does kalit have an incentive outside of what's popular?
Speaker 5I mean, but when it seems like when it seems like you know, you have new famous friends and then you forget about your olcaust T Pain is still famous.
And if you forget about this ever exist, you forget about your old famous friends.
That's corny to me.
I agree with you.
I think get that port.
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2I'm just viewing it down to what T.
Paint said.
Brother means nothing to the people in the music industry.
If your music industry friends that I like, I don't know things in that way.
You can't say that because I don't operate that way.
But I don't expect other people that.
Speaker 3I know and I don't either.
Speaker 5But we can't say brother means nothing to pop in the music industry because to some people in the music industry.
Brother does mean something, and I have plenty of examples of brothers in the music industry for sure.
So that's why, you know, just just say brother, don't mean nothing to cal.
Speaker 3Palestine.
Speaker 5Its Palestine, Like it's okay, just say that, but don't don't make it, you know, a music industry thing, because we do know the music industry is very cutthroat and it's very fucked up.
But we also do know we have a lot of great relationships with great friends and great family in the music industry as well.
Speaker 2All right, if Kali got super cold after the second album, do you think T Pain would be like, Yo, let's let's do a record in twenty twenty five.
And Pain never got cold?
To me, I'm just using an example.
Do we think T Pain would do the same thing?
Speaker 3No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2Do you think he'd be like, all right, let's Kalid because we had those first two projects, let's in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3I got you.
Speaker 5Yeah, we've seen We've seen Ortis do it all the time, Artists that had hot records in the nineties, early two thousands, and then they come back in twenty twenty five and be like shit, Nads and Premier about to put out their first album.
Speaker 2But we're not I mean weird.
Speaker 5No, I'm just saying, but they gave us something in the nineties and been teasing an album for.
Speaker 3Years, fifteen years, I want to say.
Speaker 5And now was finally it one of them picked up that one of them picked up the phone that was like, Yo, you know what I'm saying.
And Nads could have been like Yo, no, Premium, you ain't that hot right now.
To me, I'm just saying, I'm just saying he could.
I'm just saying he could have.
He could have, especially coming up all the hit boys shit, getting his first Grammy.
Speaker 2I just don't put Caleent in Premiere in the same.
Speaker 5No, I'm talking about the relationship.
Yeah, I'm talking about people still, you know, holding people to a certain regard, even no matter if they hot, cold, whatever it is.
If we made good chemistry together, make good songs, make good music together, I don't care if you're not hot right now, like we made we got we made some shit together, and we probably still got some shit in a hard drop that we need to go revisit.
Speaker 2But I mean that speaks to Pream's character too, because preem will.
I mean that will work with anyone.
That's why I think he's a go.
Outside of all the amazing shit he did, but his Him and Na's relationship started when Nas was nobody at nineteen and gave him New York State a month.
Pream was already on Rupp home at Benout like Nas was nobody.
He was like, yah, I got you.
Pream is just a different type of human being in that regard.
If he fucks with you, doesn't matter how popular you are, he'll.
Speaker 3Say fuck and say brother means nothing to calvity.
Speaker 2Cream is an amazing human being, So say brother, I know, I know Pream, Well, say he's the other way.
Don't say the peoples in the set.
That's all I'm saying, Paul, this is disgusting.
I think it's time to upgrade this.
This this is insane.
You should upgrade to the iPhone seventeen Pro because, believe it or not, it's designed to be the most powerful iPhone ever.
Of course it'd be more powerful than the sixteen.
But I'm sure you're thinking about traffic on the way transfering your data.
That can be a mess.
Sometimes you just want to keep this this chipped up phone that you have, But I have good news.

Speaker 2I did finish the Diddy Doc yesterday, Diddy Doc The Reckoning, and I rushed.
I rushed back to the house to watch it because I thought it was gonna get taken down because his lawyers did send some c and ds, which once you get to episode two you start to see why.
Speaker 3Listen.
Speaker 5I finished the I finished the dock here last night here before I went home, I was like, let me watch it because I did feel like it was gonna be taken down soon since cease and desist was sent out.
And I would have been mad because I watched the first two episodes and I was like, oh shit, yeah, so let me watch next to and listen if everything in that doc is real and true.
I think we all, like we all owe a lot of people like damn because we watched it happen.
Yes, like years of watching shit like it was right in front of us, things happened.
And you know, one of the things that I did take away from the dock because you know, you go back and they was you know, telling things that happened, and then from people that really were close to Puff and grew up with them and was there from day one, and just hearing the way they spoke about them, and then watching things you know that you know, happened publicly and things it was definitely like damn, like, how the fuck did this continue to just happen right in front of us and nobody you know, and y'all know all the time, I always say, people don't care, that we pretend like we care, and when things happen like oh my god, prayers, condolences, and then we hit scroll and then there's no more prayers and condolences and things like that.
But the documentary did shed a lot of light on a lot of things that I didn't know about, gave the testimony of people that were, you know, spent a lot of years around Diddy, working with him, whether it was personal or just business.
And I can see why his lawyers did want to see some desist because it does it can paint a different picture for people who supported Diddy over the years.
It definitely paints him in an entirely different light, an entirely different perspective of the man that many of us have supported over the years.
But overall, I thought it was a very informative doc.
I thought it was you know, it's fucked up what happened, But it was a good documentary though.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's why you know, we gave fifty a little bit of shit last episode, just because we thought, like, all right, is this him just being petty because of their history and his child's mother, and like, are we going to get one of those clip together Hulu docs?
That is just like this was a money grabbing unnecessary as far as it doc goes, it was very informative and very well put together.
Like episode one was, I thought, I like really knew the Diddy story for the most part.
It was a very informative, ditty doc like just in general about his life and his family life.
But once you get to episode two, things do start to fall off the rails.
Was there any new information on here for you?
Because I mean, I know we're a little closer to everything than the average consumer when it comes to this type of stuff.
Speaker 3As far as the music industry, I.
Speaker 2Know a lot of people learned a lot of things for the first time in this dock, which I think is great, But was there anything in here?
Speaker 3You were like, yo, what the fuck?
Speaker 5Well when they they said, uh that the Wallaser State paid for the funeral, but then it came out to prove that that wasn't true.
Speaker 3Yeah, wayless.
Speaker 5The state did not pay for Biggie's a funeral.
And that's something that I was like, wait, hold up, like again, if any of that is true?
Yeah, and they're saying that that's not true, But that was definitely one of the things that I was completely thrown off by, Like I was like, I never heard that, never knew that, and if that is true, that's fucking crazy.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2In the dock, it explained it as if bad Boy paid for the funeral, but it came out of Biggie's recording budget, so it was a line item in a P and L.
But this morning, lour Leosa had went on the Breakfast Club and said she spoke with Biggie's estate slash former manager, and he said he has been on the royalty statements since the very day that Big passed away, and that never happened.
Bad Boy paid for everything that wasn't something that came out of the biggest budget.
Speaker 4Okay, so I have a question, this is Devil's advocate, because I know everybody's bleeding hearts, but don't most humans pay for their own funerals?
So when people were like, he didn't pay for his funeral, like, don't most people pay for their own funerals, that doesn't happen.
Speaker 5Well if you have life insurance and things like that, like a policy.
Yeah, But the thing was, the way they said it in the dock made it seem like it came directly out of like money that was his.
So essentially, look, Biggie made bad Boy money, right, So even if bad Boy paid for it, in a way, the Biggie paid for the funeral, right, Yeah, But the way they broke it down, the way they explained it in the doc, it made it seem like, you know, because they were saying Puffer saying this is gonna be the biggest funeral ever said or third, but Biggie's gonna pay for it.
So when you hear it that way, you like and then they're saying like, yeah, he's the one that came out of the wireless estate or whatever.
It was like, that's a little crazy if that's if they did it that way, But in a way, yes, you're right, you do kind.
Speaker 3Of you do pay for your own funeral.
Speaker 5It does come out of funds that you have, whether it's life insurance or you know, again being one of the biggest artists in the world at that time, for the label, if the label pays for it, you can kind of say that you worked for it.
Speaker 3You you gross that money for the label.
So yeah, I get it.
Speaker 5But just hearing it that way was definitely like, what do you mean, Biggie pay for his own funeral.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's more of a moral thing because like how they even painted it in the dock with that segment, it was like, all right, Big thought he was going to London.
Puff said, now we're going to go to la to promote the album, even though we know it's probably not safe.
We've been getting death threats.
Probably not the best time to go over there.
But they were painting Puff's arrogance where he felt like he was so bulletproof it didn't matter of what the truth was, so he dragged Biggie there to promote an album that was signed to bad Boy.
Speaker 3Unfortunately that happens to big.
Speaker 2Then he to most points says, it's about to be the biggest funeral, but like, wait, does miss Wallace want it to be the biggest.
Speaker 3Funeral if you're paying for it?
All?
Right?
Speaker 2Like cool, you can bad Boy up this entire thing if you're paying for it.
Then right after that, he was supposed to get the cover of Rolling Stone, like a few weeks after the funeral, and that was which I've heard that before that.
I'm pretty sure that's factual.
That was cruz crazy Allegedly, you don't pay for the funeral.
Now you switch the cover that was supposed to you know, honor your your best friend to you because you have to do the no out shit.
You're leading single, which makes you god knows how much money is I'll be Missing You, which you promote immediately, which I get it's a tribute song.
But we know Puff's mind.
Of course he was morning, but he's gonna take advantage of that moment.
And yeah, it looked all nasty when you add.
Speaker 3All those things together.
Speaker 2If bigs family indeed had to pay for the entire thing, but it turned out that that was not the.
Speaker 3Case and Puff did pay for it.
But still nasty.
Speaker 4Well if so, if that can be questioned, then don't we now question the integrity of the entire doc.
Speaker 2Well that's why lawyers love this type of shit and why I know they're going to amplify that.
Biggie's of State said this because you know, it's similar to what we even saw with Diddy's sexual assault cases, where we saw the CASTI one and we saw the footage, but then a bunch of people came out the woodworks where stuff looked like, all right, this is true over here, but this seems like some bullshit money grab kicking while he's down.
Maybe he'll settle type of thing.
And that's what lawyers used to be, like, see, this case is bullshit, so everything must be bullshit, and that's never really what it is.
Yeah, Like sometimes misunderstandings happened in there.
I don't know if there was much in the doc that couldn't be proven to be true outside of that one.
I mean, I think the Tupac thing, they didn't say it in a fact, they alluded to it, but which I mean we can discuss.
Do I think just speculation?
No one knows this to be a fact.
Do I think that Puff probably said to some gang members in passing or in a room, put some money on their heads.
Speaker 3Yeah, I do think that happened.
Speaker 2But do I think the people that allegedly killed Tupac went to Vegas with the thought, we're going there to kill Tupac so we can get the bounty money that.
Speaker 3Puff put up.
Speaker 7No.
Speaker 2I think Pop punched the wrong crip that had a beef with the people he was rolling with, and crips do what crips do.
That was and then they whether there was a bounty or not.
I think those crips do what they did regardless.
Now, once it's done, I might as well go collect some money for it too.
Speaker 5Yeah, that's that was the kind of what I took from it.
It's just something that just happened to happen that night after a conversation however many days or weeks ago, so it kind of lined up that way.
But you know, overall, the documentary to me, just it gives a different perspective on somebody that we've only known publicly, not much personal knowledge of the type of person that he is.
But just again to hear those people talking.
I forgot the gentleman's name that was actually with bad Boy from day one, who he took the twenty five percent stocking bad Boy from.
Yeah, just hearing him talk and then you know, it's like guys like that, you know, here's somebody that we've never heard from.
I've never seen him sit down and talk about that.
I just don't think that he would sit there and fabricate something at this point, like what does he have to gain from that?
Yeah, you know what, I mean, his story, his truth, whatever happened, and you know why he signed over to twenty five percent that he owned a bad Boy.
I mean, I just think that he I don't think that he has to lie about those type of things and circumstances that happened around that whole thing.
But overall, I mean, it was very informative.
It shed some light on a lot of things.
Hearing from testimony from certain people.
Even some of the jurors spoke about why they didn't find him guilty on you know, the sexual assault charges and things like that, and the juris said it was like, yo, it's hard to you know, find him guilty of that.
Yes, we see the tape and we see the video of him assaulting a woman, but then we also have footage of them hours laid at.
Speaker 3A galla together.
Speaker 5And I know how you know, abuse is whether it's physical, whether it's verbal, you know, whether it's mental.
You know, people are victims and you know, but it's hard, hard to tell a jury to find somebody guilty of this when you have more footage, you know, of them on vacations together, after that, and this, that, and third, it's like, well, yes, we do think that this was toxic, this was wrong.
Things happen, But at the same time, do we find him guilty of these things?
Because it does take you know, it takes too.
Speaker 2And to give the jurs some grace there too, I blame more of the prosecution, like, yeah, we all saw the CASI tapes, Like that's not what he was charged for.
Do I think Diddy is a guilty human being?
Of course I do.
Yeah, But you guys put up a bunch of shit that you couldn't even really prove happened, and all the stuff that we did know to be true, he's not charged for.
So if I'm a jury, ib was sitting there like, yeah, I think guy's a piece of shit.
But this is the system America has made where you have to prove the charges that you have right here, and you're not doing that.
So what am I supposed to do?
Yeah, say he's guilty for something that's not in the court right now.
Speaker 3I can't do that.
One.
Speaker 5The one thing that stood out to me in the dock was how around every tragic thing that happened in his life, he was the one that came out of it, you know, whether it's like his career elevated out of each of these tragedies.
And that's kind of like that raises an nob bra, like how come you the only one that benefited from these tragedies?
Like life got you know from I guess from what we see and what we know, seems like life got better for you after these tragedies.
Success happens, you know, and it's like, why is that?
Speaker 3To me?
Speaker 5That's what the one thing I took from the dock, Like even going back to the city college, you know stampede that happened.
You know, at that time, Puff was just a party parole in the city, young kid throwing parties, you know, bringing people together trying to have a good time.
But even out of that there was an elevation.
You go to get the uptown after that, you know what I'm saying, and then you and Andre Herrell for all out and then you take what you learn from Andre Horral where you know, like I'll be showing these peoples talking like none of these guys got really paid from uptown, like they got that that they advanced.
But after that, a lot of these artists struggled.
Go to bad boys, start your thing.
A lot of those artists can say the same thing.
Craig mac has, He's Grammy nominated, he has a number one song and barely pays bills.
And then he asks you for money and his wife says, you pull out one hundred dollars bill and give it to him.
Speaker 3It's like for people to have these stories, it's like.
Speaker 5Something somebody ain't Everybody can't be lying, like that's just my thing.
When everybody get to talking, it's like everybody can't be lying.
Speaker 3Now is this some things that you know?
Is it one hundred percent true?
Speaker 5And maybe that's their perspective on how things happen.
We understand how things get a little blurry.
Did but the bottom line is when you look at, you know, the things that happen as far as the tragedies, and then look and saw how Puff was able to elevate from that and and was the one that kind of became, you know, to star and things like that, it does raise an eyebro like that's something that you kind of got to look at with a side eye, like something ain't right here.
Speaker 3Yeah, I mean it.
Speaker 2Puff came across as probably the greatest self preservation human being I've ever seen.
To your point, every time something bad happened to everyone, including himself in that circle, he would find a way for everyone else to be the fall people and for him to continue on no matter what scheme or way he had to go about it.
He will always gonna self preserve no matter what, even with the bad Boy family.
Mm hm, well, I'm not going down right.
I gotta keep the family movement.
Do you think that started around the City College thing?
Because I almost watched it like kind of in reverse in my head towards the end thinking of that that moment, Yes, Puff was just a young party promoter.
Should the cops probably had a better structure there?
Should Puff have maybe had better security.
Of course, there's a bunch of what is there not saying he's completely innocent, but he's throwing a charity bass.
Speaker 3He doesn't know about that shit yet.
It's unfortunate what.
Speaker 2Happened because he got out of that scott free, and then even said himself at that point, I had never been that famous in my life.
I immediately became famous because of a tragedy.
Do you think that started the mindset he had of being so metaphorically bulletproof in any situation.
I can get away with anything, I can have someone Shug's man in front of a fucking club in Atlanta was gonna happen to me.
I can shoot up a club with j Lo.
Nothing's gonna happen to me Like that, I think is where he started to build that mentality, along with drugs, to just start seeing the world as objects and opportunities.
Like kim Porter, that was opportunity.
He had.
Clearly had a very fragile and crazy ego.
So because that was Albi Shore's girl, I'm gonna get her me, he says his other baby mother.
Oh that's somebody else's fifties baby.
Like he has that mentality where this isn't because I want that woman, because I want that object opportunity.
Speaker 3And ego boost for the people around me.
Yeah.
Speaker 2That I think just built more and more throughout the years because he he never really took an l Yeah, I like, I don't get it, but I could see how that trajectory mixed with pink cocaine could get you to the place that he treats the world the way he does.
Of course I can beat up Cassie.
Why why can't I do that?
Look at everything I've done and gotten away with.
It's almost like he has like the mentality of like that rich kid that had a billionaire father that knew they could do anything and dad will get him out of.
Speaker 3It, but Puff would get himself out of it.
Speaker 6Yeah.
Speaker 2I think he had that same mentality.
As the years went on, well.
Speaker 5I mean people that grew up with him and they spoke to that, Yeah, how they started to see the change.
And then Mark Curry was talking about the intro and the album things.
He was saying, you know, now he's talking like a gangster.
I'll put a million dollars on your head, get you raised.
He marks, like, the fuck what did that like?
When you start talking like that, Like so you know, you got to look at those things and kind of say, okay, yeah, where did it start?
And I think the documentary did a good job at kind of trying to point that out, like when the ego came into play, when the god complex came into play, and then you know, talking to people who were directly close to him, who were speaking to certain things that they saw and experienced, and you know, and again.
Speaker 3You watch it, you take what you take from it.
I don't think I learned too much.
Speaker 5I mean, it was interesting to see them put everything together from the very beginning of you know, puff being a party promoter and trying to get into the industry to where he ultimately ended up today.
Speaker 3I thought they did a good job with that.
Speaker 5But overall, I mean, you know, definitely probably one of the better did He documentaries I think I watched.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean it's definitely in a way different way up there with the Apple music what was that Can't Stop Won Stop about just bad Boy in general?
I think I maybe like that one better because I didn't know about all of this shit where it was like, oh I can enjoy the music and the artists and this, you know, was obviously a tough watch.
But back to the God Complex thing.
Did you ever see the Anthony Wiener documentary?
I suggest everyone go back and white.
It's a very fascinating documentary just about the last year of him in politics and him getting caught again when he was running for mayor, like everyone kind of forgave him, and then it was like, wait, you're still sending dick pics to young girls, Like fuck is wrong.
They filmed the entire thing, and the whole time I'm watching it, I'm going, why is Anthony Wiener allowing them to film this?
Why am I able to see these moments?
I felt that would puff two of the God Complex?
Why are you being filmed in a hotel talking to your lawyer that way about what type of defense that you need?
Yeah, like, where in your brain?
Speaker 3Why are you filming this?
Speaker 5That was the one thing that even with the Diddy ja, It's like, how did fifty get his hands on this?
Speaker 3So like that happen.
Speaker 2There's been conflicting reports with what I did see that seems like it would be the a troop of one.
Netflix was somewhat involved with Diddy shooting a documentary going into the trial stuff because Puff was very confident in his god complex that he was going to be found innocent, and once again, to your point, he would try umph fall from the ashes, and here comes Puff with this doc of like, damn, look what we put him through with the trial trial, and he was innocent the whole time.
I think that's what Puff had in mind.
And I think Netflix was already involved.
Once you get arrested, I don't really know what happens with the rights of stuff or if anyone got paid.
Netflix may have owned that footage.
Yeah, and then you know, here comes fifty.
You guys own what?
Speaker 3Yeah?
I know, wait what did you say?
Speaker 7I know what?
Speaker 2Editor fifty probably opened his mac book and was like, you know what, I'll do it.
Speaker 3Yeah, man, the part with little Rod.
Little Rod is his name.
Speaker 2Yeah, I feel bad for him.
I don't feel bad laughing at some of the stuff that was in the reports just because how it read.
I think as humans were allowed to laugh sometimes when something appears to just sound funny when you read it in paperwork.
But once like he humanized it and you heard it from him.
Speaker 3Yeah, I was like, he got done done.
I'm sorry man.
Yeah, they did him dirty.
Speaker 2Outside of the adult grooming producer grooming.
Also, what do you get like seventeen k or some shit?
Speaker 3No, he said he got twenty twenty nine thousand that album.
Speaker 2And then those voice notes like pure god, complex manipulation, like puff, I was just on a yacht.
Whld you spend one hundred grand on gas for that thing?
Can you pay me the money that you already said.
Speaker 3You owed me?
Speaker 6How much did he say that he owed him?
I didn't watch.
Speaker 2He said two fifty was what he was supposed to get for producing on the Love album.
Speaker 3Yeah, he ended up getting like nine thousand out of two hundred and fifty thousand, and Pope said he was gonna give them.
Yeah, man, it's tough, man, and it's not.
Speaker 5And you know, the fucked up part is it's so many people that have a story like that in industry, do some incredible records, incredible songs, and you know, just because you're chasing the dream, and you know, you get flown out to fucking Italy on the yacht with with you know, somebody that you looked up to as a kid, and now you're working with him and producing music with him, and he telling you're gonna give you two hundred and fifty thousand, you like, fuck it, whatever I gotta do to get this album done.
Speaker 3And you know, like if I.
Speaker 5Got to witness some crazy shit, if I got to be a part of some crazy shit, you know, it's just it's fucked up with people pray on people like that because they know that they need that opportunity and they you know, they need that that moment to kind of like be able to, like you said, take care of his family and his kids and have his kids be able to take care of their kids.
That's what he was chasing, and that was that was his you know, his goal.
But voice notes man Puff was like, Yo, you know what I'm saying, Like, I know, you know what I'm saying.
I know you ain't going crazy.
I was like that manipulation and.
Speaker 2Then like now I feel like I got to look at you crazy.
Yeah, like I don't want to look at you crazy.
Wait, I'm crazy because I asking for the money that you you said that you would pay me.
Speaker 3You came up with that number.
I didn't come up with that number.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's tough, but that's also like and I won't say it doesn't happen in other businesses, but adding on to why the music industry is so fucked fucked up.
A lot of that weird shit can happen in the environment of creating music, like blocking out for the Love Sessions.
Shit, I came on the spot, I went, I went to one of the Love Sessions.
I was trying to get on that fucking album.
Nothing crazy was happening in there at all.
But when you're blocking something out for a month, Yeah, if I leave at one am, I don't know what the fuck is happening at three am.
But a lot of producers are still there, actually there just to make music.
Now you're complicit into this whole thing.
Like I don't think Lil Rod did anything wrong when they went to the strip club on the boat.
Yo, take this bad way hat on.
They know what it means, Like, I'm here to produce, man like.
But I get why little robouls would be like, all right, man, we just have.
Speaker 3A woman to go.
I'm not doing anything wrong.
Speaker 2But not realizing that you are now complacent in a way bigger sex ring right now that you have no idea, you're thinking, oh, he said, I'm the next member of the hit Man.
I'll take a bad boy hat.
Let me walk around the strip club with it, not knowing that you are.
Now they know that's the flag.
Oh there's the guy that we need to go to to sell pussy.
Yeah, perfect, we'll go to him.
And Little Ro's like, well, I'm going back to the studio.
Speaker 3Yeah, go back to it.
We're all going back.
Yeah.
It was tough though.
Did you watch it?
Baby?
Did you finish it?
Speaker 7No?
Speaker 6I didn't.
I was just I haven't even started it, that's all I was.
Speaker 5Yeah, you should finish it before before it's taken down.
Yeah, well I do think it'll be taken down eventually.
The Aubrey O'Day segment was really tough to watch.
Speaker 6I heard about that.
Speaker 3I feel for her.
Speaker 2She told her story of somebody on the staff had walked into one of the studios where Puff.
Speaker 3And another gentleman were having sex with her.
Speaker 2She looked really out of it, slump, like she had clearly been drugged.
She has no recollection of this whatsoever.
But you could imagine the toll that would put on you if somebody was like I one hundred percent, no, I walked in on you Puff and another gentleman having sex, and you're like, I've that never happened, and now you're starting to question everything because you know, there's been crazy practices with shit getting drugged and this and that.
And she even said if this person's lying and I keep going with it, now that gives Puff's team even more ammo.
Speaker 3And she's like, I know, fucked up things happen.
Speaker 2So if I pursue this and it ends up not being true, now it's like, hey, look they're lying over here.
Yeah, so she's in a weird conflicted position there.
Speaker 4I can't imagine because that came out in one of the civil super accusers having said that in her affidavit that I can't imagine hearing that for the first time, Like, oh yeah, by the way he raped you too, you was like knocked out, slumped and he's like what.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's wow.
Speaker 6That's like what.
Speaker 3I want to ask the Marius.
Speaker 2Have you ever been in a situation or seen the situation with two female best friends, you.
Speaker 3Know, the women that are besties.
Speaker 2They're not bisexual with their besties, and they're fake gay with each other, Like they would never like smoking each other's mind.
Yeah, they would never bump coochiese.
They're not like, but they'll you know, Cuchi, they'll kiss after the hookah thing, just for like last or like do a selfie.
They're not really bisexual, they're just drunk and besties.
Has there been a situation where one wasn't doing the bestie plus and the other bestie had to find that out.
Speaker 3The hard way?
Speaker 6Yes, that happens very well.
Speaker 3One wasn't doing the bestI.
Speaker 2What Sometimes one girl is actually bisexual and this isn't just fun bestI energy at the Hoopa spot.
She's here for game time.
Some of them don't wants to bump kuccies.
Speaker 6Some of them don't know though.
Some of them don't know.
Speaker 3Some of them don't know what.
Speaker 4So A lot some women will have that relationship with a close friend of theirs and not realize that they're really sexually attracted until they've been doing the whole fake gay thing and it's like, oh, like it's stirring up feelings in me?
Speaker 6Yeah, for sure, they don't.
That's how I found out I was there.
Speaker 3How did you find out you were gay?
Speaker 4I found that out from playing gay and realizing, oh, I'm.
Speaker 6Not playing Yeah.
I found that out when I was younger.
Speaker 2Now it was the bestie she was bisexual and was trying to turn you out.
Speaker 3Okay, No, she was straight and y'all had This is something that y'all would do when y'all was like hanging out.
Speaker 4Just just I don't want to get too deep into detail with it for her own protection, but yeah, like yeah.
Speaker 3Her own protection is crazy these days.
This is your friend.
But they put our ad on the internet, so you.
Speaker 5Know, the marriage finding out she's gay because she was just playing around.
Speaker 6Bro, it happened.
It happens a lot.
Speaker 2It happens every episode of Euphoria.
It's like I wasn't gay, I am now gay.
Speaker 3Oh my god, that is hilarious.
I'm sure that happens a lot.
But sometimes, like you know how, that's why I tell the niggas, don't play gay games with me.
Speaker 2You're gonna find out what not what male besties to do that.
Speaker 6But you know that, you know the white people, white fret boy.
Speaker 5Y'all play the games, y'all, y'all do the games where y'all, you know.
Speaker 2Get drunk and kiss my homeboy, Like now you grab a ball in the locker room.
Speaker 3I've never got grabbing a ball in the locker if it ain't a basketball period, like you know, you know, the games that white boys play like I'll be staying there and told them to a girl my wife friend come up behind me and pull my shorts.
Speaker 2Down, like you know, okay, So that's that's hard games, the games, the fright games.
Speaker 3Y'all play those type of games each other's ass.
Speaker 4But like gripping, gripping the like the cuff, good game, but you gripped the cuff.
Speaker 3No, niggas, we ain't play that in my hood.
That that never, that game didn't.
Speaker 2Make it uptown after a good game.
It's fucking yeah, like leaving your.
Speaker 3Hand like that.
We didn't need that jump shot that bad when you got to grab my ass.
Speaker 4But I always thought that that good game ship was weird anyway, that nigga has mad body parts.
Speaker 6Why are you tapping his ass?
Speaker 5Well, it's not really like we're not looking at it like tapping his ass.
It's kind of like a pad on the.
Speaker 4Back like, but it's mad back like the man's ass as little as it's mad back.
You nah, you skipped the back and go and tap his ass.
Speaker 3It's a little home more erotic.
Speaker 2I'm not here to defend it.
I don't I don't fully understand it either, but I mean, I guess because your arms are there after the free throw.
Speaker 3It's just like in reaching distance, I'm not going I can't.
Speaker 2I didn't invent it.
Speaker 5Participation.
I'm a victim of that as well.
Like I've done it, I've received it, Like I just be honest, I played both growing up, like, but we weren't looking at it like yo, that's some weird ship.
Speaker 3It was just ship that we did.
Speaker 4But and then when nigga suck her out, don't like, have no meat on your ass.
The nigga sucker on it, slap y'all, like, good game you and you got recoil crazy, Yeah, jiggling after that's fucking crazy.
Speaker 5Your ass having recoiled as a man is wild though, Like that is wow.
Speaker 2And somebody notices it, like you got the football tights on me?
Speaker 4So yeah, like because because that's my thing.
Like so you y'all do that to like even no ass, even the home because everybody know the football player with the fat ass.
Like we all went to school with the football player with the fat ass.
You're telling me you tapped his ass and you ain't feel.
Speaker 6It bounce back.
Speaker 2Nah, your niggas is gay.
Speaker 3I don't care we had on gloves.
I didn't play football.
Speaker 6Basketball shorts looser.
Speaker 5Yeah, listen, baby, I'm not I'm not here to argue with you defended it's crazy.
Speaker 3It's it is some weird ship.
Speaker 5Like I get it, but we weren't looking at it through that lens of y'all.
Speaker 6Wasn't somebod y'all.
That's how some of y'all I was gay.
Speaker 3That's the fact I well, I definitely wasn't looking through it through that lens.
I definitely I didn't.
That's why I stopped playing balls so many years ago.
Speaker 2That's why you gave up the game.
Speaker 3I was like, yeah, the same for me.
Speaker 2You would have went to the league.
If they wasn't slapping as they.
Speaker 3Wasn't slapping ashes, I might have went pro.
I ain't gonna.
I might have went pro.
That's how straight you are.
I gave up.
Speaker 2I was like, I don't like that ship.
So what happens if you get up after this and peage goes good?
Pard, You're know we're not doing sexual harassle.
Definitely that would be funny if an athlete, because you would have some grounds for that.
Speaker 3You're in the workplace.
Speaker 2Yeah, if my teammate smacked me on the ass after a free throw.
I'm in the workplace, I'm on the clock.
I didn't ask for that.
Speaker 3That's just weird, though, but I get it.
Speaker 5But baby DM, I'm glad you shed light on the finding out how you're gay.
Speaker 3I think that's important.
I think women need to hear that.
Speaker 6I mean, but I was very young.
Speaker 4I won't say which age again because it will expose the friend, but I was very young.
Speaker 2So I just think it happens a lot in adulthood because, as we said, women aren't really friends with each other, and they meet like a lot of friends, like at the club and become besties.
They're like, they'll have ig batty friends.
Speaker 4I think of the gay and I think some of the studio sessions and say that you're your friends.
Speaker 6I'm so tired of y'all shooting at women.
Speaker 4Y'all be meet, y'all be meeting at a bar, y'all be meet, and niggas at the bar, y'all happen to be fucking two bitches.
Speaker 6That's cool.
Now y'all friends like y'all in.
Speaker 2The studio together, And now y'all that's survival.
Yeah, if I got a double date, at least, like, let me try to get along with me.
Speaker 5I've never met a random man at a bar and we're still friends to this day.
Let me just put that up there.
You have done that either, it's never had.
That's a wild thing.
Speaker 4Y'all meet the random homie of a random homie and now your friends Like now y'all boys, not y'all a boys.
Speaker 3Shit.
Speaker 5So you mean like I brings a friend in here and like we all kicking it and like now your friends, Well not today, I'm not gonna leave, Like, yo, that's my friend.
Speaker 3But like if he's around for the next.
Speaker 5Two three years and we hanging out te people meet, yeah, like yeah, that's like, yo, that I met him.
Speaker 2Like damn, you didn't know that girl and you got to know where and married her.
That's the marriage.
Speaker 3Do the same thing.
We're not doing.
Speaker 6We're gonna do that.
Speaker 4We're not right, not not this week, not that, this today is not this is not the week.
Speaker 3This is not the week for that.
Okay, I'm sorry because I.
Speaker 6Know where you're going and I don't want to have to steer you out.
Speaker 5You know, I'm not I'm not I would never do that.
I'm not going there I'm not going there.
Speaker 2What's fucked up is that is a double standard with men.
Like women can meet their friends any and everywhere.
Men like, yeah, we would look at you a little weird if he was like, yeah, you know, I was just you know, having a beer and he was right next to me and we became friends.
Speaker 3Yeah, you can't.
We can't meet each other.
I think that guy has something else on his mind.
Speaker 5Yeah, we can't meet.
We can't because then it's like, Yo, what's up with your men?
Why keep hitting trying to talk and text me?
Speaker 2What's like you have to be like and like we kicked it, and like you can't just meet men and be friends with them.
Speaker 4But see, that's why the male loneliness epidemic.
Yeah, ain't got no fucking friends because y'all be afraid to meet people.
Speaker 3Not afraid.
I just don't fuck with people.
Speaker 2You should probably fuck with people just randomly chatting it up.
Speaker 6You got four hundred brothers and sister.
Speaker 5I got my friends, I got I'm cool.
I don't need like to meet new friends.
Speaker 6You had a best friend, all, Yeah, what's his name?
Speaker 3Mike?
Speaker 6Mike?
Speaker 4I ain't never heard of Mike.
Why I never met Mike before.
Mm hm, no, it's not ringing a bell either.
Speaker 6He ever ever been around?
Speaker 5He was, he came to the he came when we had the He was here when we had the people pull up for the party.
Speaker 3Oh, you might have left he pulled up as I don't think that was there.
You met him?
What God owns the store?
Oh shit, yeah, a bunch of times.
Okay, he was here, he came in.
Speaker 5You might have left though, Yeah, But that's wh like we grew up together, Like I might have known him since I was like.
Speaker 6So like he will say Malla is my best friend.
Speaker 5I mean, I don't know if we say best friends.
We wouldn't say that.
We don't put that on.
Speaker 3It MySpace topic.
You guys will both be number one.
Speaker 5That's a little weird too, but like we know like that, that's that's like family.
At this point, I was like, I think I was eleven and he was nine when we first met.
Speaker 6So is that what makes men best friends?
Is that time?
Is it time?
Speaker 4Because Rory's best friend has been his best friend since he was like seven too.
So I always wonder what men like because I know what women.
It's about who we feel closest to.
With men, is it like.
Speaker 5Well for me, well for me, I'm speaking for myself, it's yes, time, but it's also experiences is also going through things together and then like just that bond of like we cannot speak for three months like at all, and then I and call him.
We pick up right where we left off three months ago, like we don't have to see each other every day.
He got his life, his family, I got my life, you know what I'm saying.
It's like, yes, like we don't have to like our relationship, our bond is not continued on to speaking every day, like I don't need to speak to nobody every single day, you know what I'm saying.
So it's like, you know, you know what somebody is because you've been through some things and loyalty was tested and you know things like that, integrity was tested and you just see who somebody is and then you look up at black damn like we known each other over thirty years, Like this shit is crazy.
So yeah, that's like I can't even say best friend.
That's that's family at this point, that's not even like a best friend.
Speaker 2Yeah, because even like yeah, I think women define best friend differently too, because there may be people I'm closer with than my best friend at the moment, just because of where my life is.
To your point, I'm not to speaking, but that's still my best friend been thirty years, but we don't speak every day like I I'm probably closer with Raven on like ravens like like daily talking about what's going on in my life than him.
But I wouldn't say that Raven is my best best I don't know.
Speaker 6I would say your best friend.
Speaker 2She's definitely one of my best friends for sure, But I don't know that the family it is Raven is fair.
That's not That's what I'm saying.
I can't put best.
Speaker 4Your best friends should be family like your best friend should be fan.
Speaker 3Yes, agreed, I didn't mean my best friend in the bar over a beer.
Yeah.
Speaker 4But also what men require from their friendships as well known that y'all don't require much.
Speaker 3Men don't require much.
We don't know.
Speaker 6It's just the things y'all require.
Speaker 3Those are the important things.
Speaker 4Loyalty, honesty, y'all loves requiring loyalty and not giving it out.
Speaker 5N that's that's that's young niggas that do that.
That's little boys that don't grown man talk.
Speaker 3Cheating is a young young.
Speaker 5Boy sport who brought up a rich man sport that too, But you nah, you when you loyals, it's just something that you don't even have to think about.
Speaker 3It's just who you are.
You have to think about it.
Yeah, William, what so don't put me in that box, baby, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2On Sunday, Sunday, with my free afternoon, I'm gonna go to the bar and just just chat it up with a fella.
Speaker 4You should, I'm serious.
You never know what you have in common with people, and then you'll be like, girls aren't really friends.
You guys that meet each other at a club and suddenly your friends.
It's like, well, yeah, girls make connection.
And then if hey, if I'm getting to notice person and they become deeper in my life, they become deeper in my life.
Speaker 6If not, then we get rid of I'm bitch weird.
Speaker 5But if I go to a bar and a random man just starts having conversations with me and he's not the one making my drinks, get the fuck away from me.
Speaker 3He's either gay or I'm getting lined.
Yeah, it's one of those.
That's just the world we live.
Speaker 5Either he's trying to take me home, or he's trying to take my kidney.
Speaker 2Not a way an organ is involved.
Speaker 3Not the way is not happening.
Speaker 2I'm an organ, dona that night regardless.
Speaker 4But uh, but but sometimes like I've been to like I've been on the phone with a man who was at a bar and like there was like a chatty white boy next to him.
Speaker 6He drunk.
Speaker 4He just yet he hate his wife.
He just needs somebody to talk to.
Like I think that that's like as humans, that.
Speaker 2We talk to somebody the airport bar, but we knew that we're getting on separate flights and never I don't even want to know.
Speaker 3Yeah, we've never seen each other.
Speaker 6What if you guys have, like you know, you could do business together.
Speaker 3Well, that's that's different.
Speaker 5Yeah, if the conversation goes there and you find out like he does something and y'all kind of in the same industry, like yeah.
Speaker 6And then you guys become friends.
Speaker 3I don't know about that.
It's a little gay.
That's gay.
Jersey swapping is gay.
Speaker 6What's jersey swapping?
Speaker 3After games?
Speaker 2Athletes will swap jerseys and take photos, and now people are doing it outside of the club with their button up shirts.
Speaker 6Man, I'm not see that's crazy.
Speaker 5I can see Peach doing that though he's definitely that's definitely Peas peachbag.
Speaker 7No people, I don't think there's anything to strangers at the bar, but like to continue on, I get at your local like cheers, like that guy's there every time you're there.
Speaker 2I could see you forming some type of a friendship.
But to just go to a random bar meet a guy like let's exchange numbers and get lunch.
Speaker 5But listen, I know it sounds crazy.
It's just because would be with it.
He'll be, he'll be and to be women like he'll be talking to a woman.
Speaker 4Man, pease be no peace, be talking about that mad fellas like at the bar.
Speaker 6Bro.
Speaker 2Fellas, Like if you're sitting there talking about the game, like that's not holding or like yeah that's different, like we're watching the game.
That's fine.
Speaker 6Y'all should stop.
Speaker 4But I've said this plenty of times when y'all say women we can't do anything, or women call us gay, No, it'd be y'all.
Y'all put so many gay strengths on each other, like just be humans and you would have so much more fulfilling.
Speaker 5Through were talking ship, Like, of course, so I go to a bar, I've had com conversations with.
Speaker 1What you can tell, you can number, we're not doing that usually anytime going out, there's a lot of mutual Like if I'm talking to this person, they know somebody that I know that's here.
Speaker 3So that's why I've never found out.
Speaker 2I'm saying, just if I go across the street and just sit down and just start chatting it up and then find out how to come see the office, And you guys are like, how'd you meet him?
Speaker 3Like, oh, we met at a bar.
Speaker 6Fire.
Speaker 5I don't know, there's nothing fire about that.
Get this fucking random guy out of here before he kills all of
Speaker 3Us, And where's our skin for a fucking jacket, like
