—[100:03.160 --> 100:11.640] when Chris Brown came in the business he wanted to be wanted to do Jackson nobody nobody said it when the last we heard a new artist make a statement like I'm the next
—[100:11.720 --> 100:19.880] anything That gets tricky though Cuz at the same time we champion independence and just finding your your fan base and catering to them and fuck blinders on everything else.
—[100:19.880 --> 100:28.000] We champion grits. And artists do say that? We do, but from a business standpoint, at least up here, we champion finding your fan base, catering to them, and
—[100:28.000 --> 100:36.360] just go. Yeah, but that don't mean these niggas is doing it. We champion it. A lot of them are, a lot of them are. We just don't talk about them because they're not
—[100:36.360 --> 100:44.720] fucking Billboard material. A lot of artists jump out the window, you saying people don't say I'm the next whatever, whatever. That's not true. Soon as Lil Baby said he was the next Lil Wayne, fall
—[100:44.720 --> 100:52.820] off. Soon as ESTG said I'm the next Jeezy, fall off. Like sometimes- They shouldn't say any of that. No, that's what I said, they shouldn't say it. But I'm just saying, people do say it and- No, no, but what I'm saying, the world gotta
—[100:52.820 --> 101:01.120] say it. The world gotta say it. Like I remember when Chris Brown first came up. Chris never said it. No, when Chris first came up, he just wanted to battle them. Yes. He was a kid, I remember,
—[101:01.120 --> 101:09.160] we was all signing a job at the same time. They would take a 16 year old Chris to parties because he was like Justin Timberlake's gonna be there, I wanna battle him.
—[101:09.180 --> 101:17.220] That's why Chris Brown is still here 20 something years later because he wanted to be great, the person before him. These new artists are just, I'm making money, I'm good at my
—[101:17.220 --> 101:25.440] business, my brand, and it's good. That's why I'm like, we gotta get back to the greatness, the independence, that's great to celebrate that. But I don't think no 1 listens to it now. I'm 30
—[101:25.440 --> 101:33.500] years now, and be like, man, this was great for independent. Either you loved it or you didn't. Yeah. True. Playa Fly is 1 of my favorite rappers. I know ain't nobody
—[101:33.500 --> 101:41.820] here ever heard of Playa Fly. Playa Fly. You can't tell me his albums ain't classic when me and my niggas together, but I get why a nigga would say it's not, but Playa
—[101:41.820 --> 101:49.820] Fly has a cult following, and I'm 1 of those guys. But I know y'all know, He's from Tennessee. Like anybody in Atlanta, T.I., GZ, any of them
—[101:49.820 --> 101:57.960] niggas, everybody was listening to Play-A-Fly. I just got hip hop in Tennessee. What? Tennessee? I'm joking. All right, so I'm going to be honest. Memphis is in Tennessee. I'm going to tell you something.
—[101:57.960 --> 102:05.980] Tennessee is in Atlanta. It is? Tennessee shaped niggas. Yes, you're a geographies. Please, please. Memphis, Tennessee shaped Atlanta sound.
—[102:05.980 --> 102:15.200] Atlanta sounds like Tennessee for sure. It is, ain't it? It is. You right. No, because Atlanta was booty shake music before. And
—[102:15.200 --> 102:23.320] then we was listening, if he was listening to, if he was in Atlanta in the 90s, when we listen to gangsta music, street music, that was Memphis, Tennessee. So when TI
—[102:23.320 --> 102:31.620] come out, I'm 22, still a vetting the game and nigga Tip is listening to 8 Baller MJG and Player Fly and all those niggas. That's what influenced
—[102:31.640 --> 102:39.780] him. That's why he called it trap music, because he's an Atlanta nigga. But Memphis sound is Atlanta. I'd never take that from him. I feel like artists are there just competing against the
—[102:39.780 --> 102:48.040] idea of creating play listing. They're treating their albums like a playlist. They're not really going in there with the intention of doing a concept. They're not even
—[102:48.040 --> 102:56.160] listening back to other albums to even get inspired. You talk to most of the people within any genre, hip hop, R&B, whatever, they don't even know enough
—[102:56.160 --> 103:04.320] about the pioneers that came before that to even know where this should be shaped. I'm talking about today, if you look at some
—[103:04.320 --> 103:12.340] of the more popular R&B artists today. I'm not saying best, I'm not saying most creative. Some of the most popular R&B artists today, they don't even
—[103:12.340 --> 103:20.340] sound like R&B artists and they also don't even dedicate their music and show respect to the R&B artists before that. Olivia Dean had 1 of the best R&B albums last year. I
—[103:20.340 --> 103:28.400] think she pays homage to them. Olivia Dean is not, Olivia Dean, sadly enough to say, even though it can be to our ears, she's not considered R&B.
—[103:28.900 --> 103:36.960] What's she considered? She's considered a pop artist, and she's treated like a pop artist and she's marketed like a pop artist. She's from the UK. And that's an even more reason because if
—[103:36.960 --> 103:45.040] you go and look at the UK and how they treat R&B, it's something totally different. Their R&B is by pop music. Our R&B is their pop music. So
—[103:45.040 --> 103:53.340] it's R&B artists today from the States don't go back and do the whole, if you listen to a Sasha Keibu, you
—[103:53.340 --> 104:01.500] can tell that they're actually going back and they're studying what was already laid down. So they're going to attribute some of that music to Anita Baker or
—[104:01.500 --> 104:09.540] Patty or Whitney or whatever if you talk to the day-to-day R&B artists male or female They're talking about T pain. They talking
—[104:09.540 --> 104:17.820] about Someone that we don't even consider traditional R&B like that's just what it is R&B out here is just a mixture
—[104:17.840 --> 104:26.200] of hip hop, hip hop and- But Tank said that. Yeah. But Tank said that's what he Tank said, yo, the average R&B artist today is competing with hip hop
—[104:26.200 --> 104:34.320] because hip hop has become so melodic. So It's unfair almost. I agree with that. That's why Chris is 1
—[104:34.320 --> 104:42.600] of the last of the Mohicans when they come to studying the crap. Like still being a part of the young shit, still evolving, but that nigga
—[104:42.600 --> 104:50.780] knows his history. He knows what the fuck. But there's 1 more thing about Chris that you got to give him. Chris has his door open to every dope creative
—[104:50.780 --> 104:58.820] in America. True. Bro, he works with everybody. Like, I'm telling you, some of these artists, like, you can't get in the room with these big artists. Yeah, he works with everybody. Chris Brown
—[104:58.820 --> 105:06.960] will let anybody in the room with your dope. That's what makes him different. And if you do that, usually that mean you're letting in young
—[105:06.960 --> 105:15.060] energy. Young ideas. New energy will keep you young. Right, it's usually when you close that door you like, nah, keep. That's when the shit starts to add on 25 plus. But when you got a
—[105:15.060 --> 105:23.520] 21 year on the room giving you some sauce. Sleep at Night is on the first album? Sleep at Night. Chris Brown's Sleep at Night. No, that's on Indigo. No, that's way,
—[105:24.160 --> 105:32.260] that's 2 albums ago. But you know what, Ray, to your point. Breezy, I'm sorry. He'll do that with the young upcoming. I gotta read it first. Like the Jadon and all that. But he'll also
—[105:32.980 --> 105:41.180] sit with Hank. You know what I'm saying? He does the balance of both. At no point will he ever feel out of place if he goes ahead and gets on a adult and
—[105:41.180 --> 105:49.200] contemporary artist record. And he'll also be willing to break a new act. He work with chicks. He works with everybody, bro. Everybody, that's what
—[105:49.200 --> 105:57.200] makes him different. Chris Brown works with it, too. I would argue that the industry is just full of more influencers now. See, I don't like it. That makes it sound like bickering old heads because there's
—[105:57.200 --> 106:05.720] plenty of young people. Leon Thomas, there's Livy Dean, whether you want to consider young or not, you can look at LMA, you can look at R-E-L-N-I-X,
—[106:05.940 --> 106:14.020] you can look at a bunch of people who clearly listen to R&B and care about their craft. So just lumping everything into maybe some of the kids that go viral on the
—[106:14.020 --> 106:22.260] internet is not fair to the people that are creating really good shit. And by the way, are also being heralded by the fucking Grammys who are selling
—[106:22.460 --> 106:30.480] fucking number 1 on the charts. We just sound like we're bitching about these things. No, it's okay. But what do you think is more wrong? We're not bitching, we're pointing. But I ain't even bitching about it. We're
—[106:30.480 --> 106:38.520] not bitching about it. We're literally saying just what it is. There's way more artists than yesteryear. That's part of it. And I work with a lot of artists. And what I'm telling you is, I don't see
—[106:38.520 --> 106:48.620] people Coming in the room trying to be great. Yes, that's what I'm saying Because your initial your initial priority
—[106:48.840 --> 106:56.940] is to be rich. Yes. But that wasn't always the case. That's not yesteryear, but now you're saying that these labels are not developing the artists, they not
—[106:56.940 --> 107:05.140] even giving a fuck about the artists. So it's like, yo, either you hit now, or we gonna dump you. So now as an artist you coming out trying to get a hit,
—[107:05.140 --> 107:13.300] trying to get a hit, trying to get a hit cause that says longevity. If I'm not gonna give you no hits and you gonna dump me, you're not gonna develop me, then they up against what? I
—[107:13.300 --> 107:21.780] think today A lot of the recording artists, well the newer ones, recognize that life expectancy of an artist.
—[107:22.060 --> 107:30.180] They treat it differently than we did. Because it was like a dollar in a dream coming up. And now it's like, yo, I deal, let me get a quick slap, let me get
—[107:30.180 --> 107:38.620] in, get out, get my show money, and be the only 1 who wanna be here for about 2 years. No, they treating music like a stepping stone till the next, like yo, once I get on, I
—[107:38.620 --> 107:47.160] get this going, I get my brand going, I get this, and I'm outta here. I retired from music once I realized the fight over music wouldn't involve musicians. True.
—[107:47.160 --> 107:55.240] Yeah. It's not about, when I realized that, when I realized that the people at the top are the people in control it's like I don't want to do this shit no more because they
—[107:55.240 --> 108:03.640] don't know what they're doing and we're seeing it suffer. Nobody let me tell you something when when you work at LA Reed I remember LA told Travis
—[108:03.780 --> 108:11.820] I did Mariah. That's all he said, like, this is the same level he did Mariah. Just to let you know. Like,
—[108:11.820 --> 108:20.120] that's the level of me that I expect you to be at. So like, those little things in the room, I remember I had an artist and he was like, yo, I signed Frank Ocean that
—[108:20.400 --> 108:28.400] When you in a room you like it's kind of letting you know, this is what your father a little man Yeah, okay how hard you are in Kansas
—[108:28.400 --> 108:36.640] City Nigga, we've done this before even know about your little viral quip. Whatever you got going on on the internet, he wouldn't know.
—[108:36.700 --> 108:44.760] You can come in his office when there's a record that will take off. And we've seen organic success. We've seen what this really looks like when it's not manipulated, when it's not pushed by
—[108:44.760 --> 108:52.800] some bullshit. So I'm not impressed by your 20 million joints that you got on YouTube. You're trending. I don't care. Yeah, but under that, you're also
—[108:52.800 --> 109:00.840] smart enough to know that, nigga, it could be, we could be on the corner singing a great song and 2 niggas could be across the street fighting. Nobody's paying attention
—[109:00.840 --> 109:08.920] to us singing right now. That's a fact. While niggas just fighting. We just know the world we live in. That's why you gotta do both. Yeah, that shit definitely. You gotta fight and sing. Yo, man. It's a
—[109:08.920 --> 109:16.940] good 1. It's a good question. That's funny. I just thought of LA Reid on Tankin' Them's podcast, and he was talking about
—[109:17.780 --> 109:25.980] maybe regretting selling LaFace as early as he did. I was like, God damn. Do we have any idea what LA Reid sold
—[109:25.980 --> 109:34.180] LaFace for back then? Oh my God, I'd be sick. That was a long time ago. That was in 2002, 2003.
—[109:34.180 --> 109:42.780] Hey dawg, that was a lot of money. Niggas is just selling their labels today for $300 and $400 million. They had Tony right? To
—[109:42.780 --> 109:50.920] now. And I'm being honest with you, he told me, he said that was the worst move. He said I was so busy playing the game cuz everybody's like now It's time to sell and be the
—[109:50.920 --> 109:58.980] big man. He said the whole time. I was playing a game I didn't realize I was setting myself up to be fired Nobody can fire me from the face. They're telling me
—[109:58.980 --> 110:07.100] sell the face and go take so you shouldn't go take a job So he didn't realize I can get fired from Arista. I can get fired. Because a year in, they fired me. Now I'm trying
—[110:07.100 --> 110:15.340] to figure it out. Now I'm selling my shit. And that damn by the way, they got my shit. Then came the Def Jam, railroaded me. They got my shit. I got you right.
—[110:15.340 --> 110:23.720] I remember you getting it. He was mad. That's crazy. But Any rapper would be mad. You go from this fucking New York
—[110:23.760 --> 110:32.020] hip hop boutique powerhouse, and now you bringing in the Atlanta R&B. This guy
—[110:32.020 --> 110:40.300] knows R&B. Remember DMXN when he met LA for the first time? He said the nigga aura was sitting next to him. It was orange. The
—[110:40.300 --> 110:48.380] nigga had an orange aura sitting behind him. I'm like, nigga, I'm looking at the nigga aura. It's like, yeah. I got LA Reid went over there and
—[110:48.380 --> 110:56.600] that nigga was minding his business. But I got to give to LA Reid, boy, he took care of every Atlanta nigga that he laid eyes on. But when he got over there, I couldn't get a meeting
—[110:56.600 --> 111:04.700] at all. And then I finally had to work, it was a few months, got a meeting, he was going to listen to some songs, see who he was gonna drop, see who he was gonna keep. We got
—[111:04.700 --> 111:12.820] our meeting, I went in there, played the hardest, I played some of the hardest mixtape shit in the world. And they got like
—[111:13.000 --> 111:21.040] real. Now every time I close my eyes. He be
—[111:21.040 --> 111:29.280] like, Ray, this nigga playing me shit, I don't know what the fuck to say. He told me, he said, yo, I'm sitting in the room, outcast first, I went platinum.
—[111:29.280 --> 111:37.440] So I like Rico. They bring me goody mob. He says, Ray, they play me the whole goody mob album. He said, there's 4 niggas in there, they're streaming, they're jumping. He said, I didn't
—[111:37.440 --> 111:45.700] understand 1 fucking word. I just said yes because it worked Really was an arm Jam
—[111:45.860 --> 111:53.860] Every rapper was mad at LA Reid. Like how do y'all bring this Atlanta nigga in here? What did he say to you when you played it? What did
—[111:53.860 --> 112:02.480] he say to you when you played it? I was good at dropped. I was dropped. That was the meeting that I was getting dropped. You were like, cool, cool, cool. Rihanna
—[112:02.480 --> 112:10.520] was over there. He played some A-team. He played some A-team. I don't want to live no more
—[112:10.540 --> 112:18.620] since I'm not here deaf knocking at my front door. LA Reid didn't understand my depression, my mental
—[112:18.620 --> 112:26.960] health songs. It's the real people out there, it's the real people cooking up with the 9. Yeah, he was like,
—[112:27.000 --> 112:35.220] yo dog, thank you for your time here. Thank you for your time here. You have to go. But oddly
—[112:35.220 --> 112:43.380] enough though, the... Joe Pony is pumping that 1 up. I think it's how I knew I was getting dropped on the beat. The only song he ever
—[112:44.000 --> 112:52.020] complimented me on And not even to my face was fucking, he just happened to be walking through the halls. And
—[112:52.020 --> 113:00.180] maybe Webb or Skeen or somebody had stunting on blast in there. It was like. Pornos all right. Why this record ain't quiet? Yo. I

Yeah, but I was playing it. He wanted to play his shit. He wanted to play his shit, nigga. I want to play my shit with the underwater effect to make it sound

—[124:46.100 --> 124:54.300] She deserved to be right there. I don't know. I don't know what I was watching, but when that song came on watching it and the video
—[124:54.300 --> 125:02.360] watching it now as an adult, I had so much more respect for it because it's all these kids in the video dancing before Tiktok started
—[125:02.360 --> 125:10.440] dancing, fire hydrants and all that shit. And the song is really geared towards kids. I just heard that recently. Like a song about what? I think it was in DTF

—[126:02.020 --> 126:10.320] just did Dev Atney life story. Know why it's tricky up here, you could stay a name and be wanting to big somebody up and by the end of it. It'll
—[126:10.320 --> 126:20.840] be it'll be a whole I'm

—[126:53.800 --> 127:02.180] That's Willow. What would you have done to this?
—[127:02.180 --> 127:10.640] All right, you started with nothing. Nothing. I wouldn't have done nothing to that. I ain't falling for your shit. I'm just saying what you would have done to that. Yeah, Tore that beat to shreds. That beat is hard. Everybody in Def Jam wanted that beat. Really?
—[127:11.080 --> 127:19.200] We was hating on Willow. We was hating on Willow. Play a little more. This little nepo baby got
—[127:19.200 --> 127:27.320] this hard ass beat, you was going on tour and everything. That 1 record. And then left tour. She was opening up for Beyonce, right?
—[127:27.600 --> 127:35.680] She signed with J. She was opening up for Beyonce and then told them. Oh, what's your interest in this? I can hear some bars in this. I can hear some of this. Yeah,
—[127:35.680 --> 127:43.780] yeah, yeah. Okay. Give him a little bit. Give him a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. This is the best music. You're
—[127:43.780 --> 127:51.900] like a grass-roots rocker. I know. I know. Let's go. What you know about me, what you know? That beat is hard. That's another Grindin'
—[127:51.900 --> 128:00.720] Dock on. That was the day everyone was making Grindin' beats. Yeah. It is. I swear to this. Oh man, that's funny. The good old days. That Grindin' Beat
—[128:00.720 --> 128:08.900] went around the world, boy. I was like 16, saw that Grinded Beat. Grinded was crazy. Every lunchroom in America. Is that a classic, though? Yeah.
—[128:09.060 --> 128:17.440] Yeah. Yeah. Yo, in 2026, the classic conversation, not here because it's like music knowledgeable people, but
—[128:17.500 --> 128:25.600] watching it be had. And the shit that they having in the box. What did they say in the something different between timeless and classic okay I know you know the sub
—[128:25.600 --> 128:33.660] definitions and I saw a conversation who said that rob markman I don't know who the fuck said who said that Classic and masterpiece.
—[128:33.660 --> 128:43.540] I don't know the difference. I think Punch said that. What Punch? Punch got shit down sometimes too. That's my man. He probably right. But
—[128:43.540 --> 128:51.760] sit down. Punch just jump out and say some shit to piss people off. What's a masterpiece to you, Freeze? I think the masterpiece albums are the ones that are,
—[128:51.900 --> 129:00.280] it's like damn, give me an example. It speaks to the musicality, that's what we were talking about when we were talking about the classic. 808s and Heartbreaks. Isn't a masterpiece a singular thing? Like Joe has his masterpiece
—[129:00.280 --> 129:08.420] and Ice has his masterpiece. Not like your favorite to listen to, but like Joe the Rapper created his masterpiece in all of Loser, whatever you may say.
—[129:08.420 --> 129:16.740] I would say this, the reason why I say 808s and Heartbreaks is because the sound after that followed. Everybody has been 808s and Heartbreaks since it came out.
—[129:17.300 --> 129:25.380] Everybody has been there. That's why I'm saying that. Twisted Thedesee is the master piece of me because everybody's following. It's like, I'm trying to be that. Once he, once he, once Punch said that,
—[129:25.380 --> 129:34.380] I read it because I think I've been holding, well, I should tell y'all what a classic album meant to me. And I was describing a masterpiece album. Like
—[129:34.380 --> 129:42.380] the masterpiece is the game changer, the 1 that is, it transcends just regular music. It changes shit. Like Get Rich and Die Tryin' was a
—[129:42.380 --> 129:50.600] transcending masterpiece. It's like after that album, the sound of the rap changed from that point on. That's how I feel about Love Below. I think a masterpiece is an individual
—[129:50.620 --> 129:58.640] accomplishment. I made my masterwork, my masterpiece. I made my masterpiece. I don't think that we get to judge what a masterpiece is. I respect that. Somebody could look at
—[129:58.640 --> 130:06.820] a work of art and think that it's a masterpiece, even if somebody else did it. Like an actual portrait or an actual painting. I guess I just have a different hand concept of the word
—[130:07.500 --> 130:15.800] If you start talking about masterpiece in regards to music What's in that list? Besides
—[130:16.040 --> 130:30.600] secret garden Only gonna rap It's
—[130:30.600 --> 130:38.860] a classic album I don't I wouldn't put it I think I like Off the Wall better than Thriller. Me too. I think that's me. Now, that's an easy answer to do, yo. Especially when you know it's a disco album. Especially
—[130:38.860 --> 130:47.060] when you know the fact that that was a disco album and disco got killed in 1979 and that album Still came out and did what it did
—[130:48.940 --> 130:57.160] Records on there that you don't really listen to like that well Michael Jackson's right off the wall It's nigga sweet and Michael Jackson away for you to burn his disco out. You're not going
—[130:57.160 --> 131:05.860] to that like that. It's the fallen in love Cool, you like it. Yes, but and you might hear in there listen to girlfriend, but you know what? Just
—[131:05.860 --> 131:14.040] give you the 3 well Paul McCartney No, that's the 1 that he wrote, but he's not on it. Okay. No. Yeah, I listen to girlfriend We like those songs
—[131:18.000 --> 131:26.080] take 5 years to make an album. I can't do it well. 3 years to make an album. That ain't no money. That ain't no money, man. Kendrick can do
—[131:26.080 --> 131:34.140] it. Kendrick does it. He can do it. He can do it. I don't think that that happens with Kendrick anymore. I think
—[131:34.140 --> 131:42.140] a lot of that taking forever was a TDE thing. I'm agree with Ice. The way they do with all of their artists over there. His albums sound like you need to take your time. His albums don't sound
—[131:42.140 --> 131:50.380] like you get the fucking point. I'm agree with Ice. Look at TDE's roster and how they all drop music. It ain't not just Kendrick, anybody over there, they all take.
—[131:50.380 --> 131:58.440] And they all be complaining. And yeah, they want to put their album out and the label won't let them. Everybody has complaint. Like, yo, my album been done for 2 years, my album been
—[131:58.440 --> 132:06.680] done for this, can I get a date? Can I get this? And now that he's off that, bong, we get a GNX album. I don't think we wait that long before we get another Kendrick project.
—[132:07.060 --> 132:15.180] I think it's possible. You might be right. We'll see. Yeah, drop him a week after Drake. Ain't never
—[132:15.180 --> 132:23.660] end of it. Turn this shit back up right here. Yeah, ain't never handed it. You're stepping on work around here, nigga. Yeah, what? 27 to be lit. What? No, he's still on his ass. You won't leave me alone, bro. It's
—[132:23.860 --> 132:32.160] over. Fight's over. Just for shits and giggles, none of y'all want to hear,
—[132:32.160 --> 132:40.240] I think I asked y'all this. Let me get out of my head. Y'all don't wanna hear fuckin' Drake send no Kendrick shots on Iceman, right? I asked y'all about
—[132:40.240 --> 132:48.260] Kobe, I didn't ask y'all about Kendrick. Y'all don't wanna hear him say a peep about any of that, right? No, absolutely. I hope he doesn't. If he names the album Iceman and
—[132:48.260 --> 132:56.700] he doesn't, how is he Iceman? I don't know what Iceman refers to. It feels like a vengeful God, like Iceman is back. And you mean to tell me you gonna, Iceman,
—[132:56.740 --> 133:04.760] you ain't gonna hit the 1 nigga that hit you up? Ice pick, you ain't gonna hit him with the poker? You ain't gonna hit the Ice nigga, that's what Iceman for, you gonna hit the 1 nigga that killed you that made you the
—[133:04.760 --> 133:13.040] ice man What do you see? What do you say though? Like what like something? What can you say? I don't think you need to step back in those waters,
—[133:13.040 --> 133:21.240] and I really hope he don't just make some you know I'm just talking to you, but if he did it I wouldn't be sad bet you he does I said that about him I don't think he can't
—[133:21.240 --> 133:29.420] I don't think I don't think he got it in 2 weeks ago. He called bro So he broke that slow pussy 2 weeks ago. Like like

—[135:30.520 --> 135:38.560] says and you know Kaylani is gonna have something on there. Kaylani is gonna have something on there for the summer, for the girls, for the studs, for the gay girls. Did you watch a
—[135:38.560 --> 135:47.020] video to fold it? Did you like it? I haven't watched a video since Pump It Up, Rowling. I don't watch videos. I ain't watched a video since- You ain't watching either? Vivo.
—[135:47.080 --> 135:55.080] Vivo still alive? Vivo, yes, and when Vivo shut down, that was the end for me. I watch a lot of videos. Where? YouTube. That's why I watch
—[135:55.080 --> 136:03.100] everything. I just saw, Lior, and he might be, I know he's invested over there, he said that music videos is like an 8000000000 dollar a year business. So that's what
—[136:03.100 --> 136:11.140] made the Jack Harlow shit funnier after we did the part, because I went home and saw that he shot a video. Like the internet was
—[136:11.140 --> 136:19.140] showing the video and he picked the Neil Long looking 90s fine black girl while he was walking with her in that stupid
—[136:19.920 --> 136:28.460] Abercrombie and Fitch white boy outfit. Like, he just looked, it was bad. He looked like Con B, like not John B. Yeah.
—[136:28.540 --> 136:37.520] Hey, I got a question for you, Joe. What's up? You know what, Rick, Who would you say would be our version of Nsync that
—[136:37.520 --> 136:45.860] reached that plateau? What R&B group or what group that reached that plateau would be like our version of Nsync or Backstreet Boys? Well,
—[136:45.860 --> 136:54.300] I wouldn't say it, because those are 2 new edition knockoffs. Or Boys and Men is the only 1. That's what they say. Yeah. Boys and Men sold more records than all of them.
—[136:54.300 --> 137:02.520] No, they said the closest overall would be Boys and Men. I'm talking about all of the Black acts. Boys and Men sold more records than any new edition, Jodeci. They were
—[137:02.520 --> 137:10.560] bigger than everybody. See, that'd be the part of appropriation I hate from these groups like that. So wait, you said N'Sync and Backstreet Boys was what?
—[137:10.600 --> 137:18.600] They all came from... They all come from the Black Boy band. New Kids on the Block. New Edition came out and then, no, New Kids on the Block
—[137:18.600 --> 137:26.800] came after New Edition. They were all from Washington. So, same shit. They was like the neighborhood over. Same manager, I think. Yeah, same manager. Maurice Starr put them together.
—[137:26.800 --> 137:35.160] They did, they toured together. Like, they literally did a whole tour together. So, Maurice Starr literally went ahead and said, I'm just going to go ahead and create the white version. New Edition.
—[137:35.560 --> 137:43.780] New Edition. That's why it was called new kids on the block Yeah, so boys to men I mean I bought some of backstreet boys and sink to me is off
—[137:43.780 --> 137:51.800] that same tree both Lou Pearlman fucking creations just McDonald's and Burger King at this point, but The boys the men know
—[137:51.800 --> 138:00.100] them niggas appropriating like a motherfucker. They saw more records than everybody. It was bigger than everybody So mad, I missed the boys to men show at Barclays
—[138:01.420 --> 138:09.500] Michael came out Oh really And I was hoping that he was going to come out in Jersey but With that sound system?
—[138:11.600 --> 138:19.780] I know. And that stage and that everything? He's been coming out on spot dates because this is the first time he's been out. I don't think I'm going back to Prudential unless it's Dave Chappelle
—[138:19.780 --> 138:28.080] like a comedian. I don't want to hear music in Prudential no more. I'm done. I'm done. That's the second time I felt like it's been bad there sound-wise. But I also
—[138:28.080 --> 138:36.300] understand why this- Because if I'm at a show and it's bad sound and I'll start feeling like I can go home and listen to these records. Yeah, but Joe, understand that type of show where you have 10 live
—[138:36.300 --> 138:44.620] mics going at 1 time, even though they should have had some type of better system or something going. Yeah, you hire people. I know. That's what he does. Yeah,
—[138:44.620 --> 138:52.800] you hire people. That's not okay. And when 10 of the people that's on those mics can actually sing. Yeah. Hi somebody so we can hear their voice Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm
—[138:52.800 --> 139:00.880] with you. I get it It's a task, but I'm with you. Speaking of shows. You know, we might serve for a band That's different when you have
—[139:00.880 --> 139:09.000] to turn them off and on though. So if at 1 point there's 6 people on stage. Oh, you're telling Barks? Yeah, because I've toured. So I know what this takes to
—[139:09.000 --> 139:17.260] turn the mics off and on. I've run in front of house. Okay. It's not that hard. No, no, no, no. Easy to see when you look at me. He
—[139:17.260 --> 139:26.000] look closely. The library show of house for a tour of that magnitude. So let's not do that. Let's not diminish what I'm saying. So
—[139:26.000 --> 139:34.180] when you go ahead and you have at some point 10 live mics and you're trying to switch off and on, I'm not saying it's something that you can't actually manage, but
—[139:34.180 --> 139:42.360] it's not the easiest task to have at some point 10 live mics on everybody on stage and you're trying to switch 1 off and on and off and on as people are coming
—[139:42.360 --> 139:50.380] off and on the stage. It sounds like you missed. You know how many mics were live at the Pass the Mic thing over at? Ended them. Pass the Mic.
—[139:50.380 --> 139:58.440] Bang, bang. The Pass the Mic gave Radio City. The difference is, the difference is, the Pass the Mic is once you're offstage, you don't come back on. You have people that's coming off and on. So that
—[139:58.440 --> 140:06.720] means you have to turn their mic off, let them go backstage and turn it back on. I see you just like to argue. It's not that complicated. I've done this as a career. I'm not saying it's that complicated, but I'm saying to you, it's not the easiest
—[140:06.720 --> 140:14.801] thing to do. When you have artists in back and forth. When somebody's getting extorted. And you see it on it. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm
—[140:14.801 --> 140:23.080] going to take a 50 cent show on it. This nigga Eve won't stop eating. The funny
—[140:23.080 --> 140:31.140] shit, he shouldn't be able to even say that to a nigga that done stacked 20 million harmonies for him. Like, just shut up. That's not
—[140:31.140 --> 140:39.600] the same. So what? Now you're not, now you're not, no I'm saying now you're not getting Harmony Stacked no more, nigga. That's it. I wasn't saying it was the same.
—[140:39.640 --> 140:47.940] 12 lines, 12 lines. 12 tracks and that's it. Yeah, that's it, god damn it. Oh man, alright so what tea, What Atlanta tea can you give me?
—[140:48.060 --> 140:56.180] Mmm. Damn. I know you said y'all be holding it down and y'all secret beef and the up north niggas don't know, but you are from New York.
—[140:57.040 --> 141:05.280] We kinda close to New York. Man, can I get, what happened with Roscoe, man? Roscoe, for me, was 1 of y'all shining artists. He was
—[141:05.280 --> 141:13.740] a writer. He had his own records. All right, skip my question. Roscco, that? He's a part of Atlanta. He's a man boy, right? I saw his interview.
—[141:14.480 --> 141:22.960] That's why you good, you good. Take me right there. I'm working. I saw his interview, man. Saw his interview. Niggas sold
—[141:23.940 --> 141:32.004] his rights and all that shit. What the fuck? That was, what's that nigga name that was down with him? Boom Man. Boom Man. We talked about that. You talked
—[141:32.004 --> 141:40.160] about that? That nigga did that nigga dirty. He signed that nigga at 18. What he signed? What he took from him again? Nah, he took... So in the business... Let me just tell
—[141:40.160 --> 141:48.260] everybody at home. Why I feel like a certain degree, Atlanta... Because I know Atlanta get... When the artist is that artist, y'all get behind that
—[141:48.260 --> 141:56.820] artist. Why I feel like at a certain point, y'all stop getting behind him. Because he was, it was a whole lot of bullshit. It's
—[141:56.820 --> 142:04.920] a lot of bullshit. So what's the first question we ask? Roscoe Lyon? No, Roscoe not Lyon, but. And he wanted to shoot a video They say this let me say this hold
—[142:04.920 --> 142:13.460] it to another company You if you are if somebody wants a percentage of you you can give them a percentage I can be a business and give Joe 5% everybody here 5% Mm-hmm
—[142:13.620 --> 142:21.820] admin rice is the key He sold his ad. So Now here's why admin rights are important. Because if I give everybody here 5% of me, that means
—[142:21.820 --> 142:30.300] y'all all have a right to go find a company to count the money on behalf of Ray. So like y'all have rights to your admin work. But if I was the admin,
—[142:30.480 --> 142:38.560] That means that I pay y'all according to what comes in. Y'all can't go get an advance. So the problem with Roscoe is that his rights that he needs
—[142:38.560 --> 142:46.620] to go make money, someone else has. Yes. So that means that he can sell you, you can't sell yourself, because he has the rights to you, you don't have the rights to him. Okay,
—[142:46.620 --> 142:54.820] now, hold on, Boo Man put that in the contract when Roscoe was 18. Do you think that was fair to Roscoe? I think contracts are predatory, period.
—[142:54.820 --> 143:03.120] I don't think that nobody should sign a contract at 18 that they should be held to when they're 50. Yeah. I just think that as predatory, I
—[143:03.120 --> 143:11.120] think that you should not hold someone into a kind like I got plenty of artists and I don't care about that paperwork shit Whatever it is, whatever you want to do
—[143:11.120 --> 143:19.500] go because 1 thing I'll say for boom man, but that's cuz you right though No, no, no, that's not why I'm gonna say 1 thing I'm gonna say from boo man is that you don't know what's in your paperwork
—[143:20.480 --> 143:28.580] Like I could be a businessman in the but my lawyer knows more about my business and I do he knows about He ends and out so he knows my business more than I do
—[143:28.580 --> 143:36.800] so when you're looking at someone like a boo man who's like he said I don't know I don't know he's he probably don't know cuz The
—[143:36.800 --> 143:44.980] lawyer that did the deal he probably talked to that lawyer in 15 years. I don't really know what's in the contract to say what's in it, so he don't know that he sold him.
—[143:45.540 --> 143:53.880] So he sold him, once he sold him, he couldn't sell himself. It's like you can't sell a car. It's kind of what we see when when when when the niggas is all the podcast
—[143:53.940 --> 144:02.100] Niggas is now going to Netflix. Yes, they don't control themselves So whoever owns them can put them from Netflix over here to Paramount to go over the HBR
—[144:02.520 --> 144:10.560] So like when Jess Hilarious is complaining, like we don't see it, she has no say. You are a talent. You are not the person that controls the rights
—[144:10.560 --> 144:18.740] of this. So what happens in the business with Roscoe is he sold his rights to Bullman at 18 because Bullman promised him something.
—[144:18.740 --> 144:26.820] But I think that that's the problem with the business. I think contracts should be re-evaluated every 5 to 7 years. I just think it's a fair thing to do. I know so
—[144:26.820 --> 144:34.960] many people that's in bad contracts that they signed when they was in terrible situations. It's like, why is he stuck in there? He signed a contract because there's a word
—[144:34.960 --> 144:43.160] in a business that I would tell everybody to avoid it's called perpetuity Get a lawyer to look over the contract though. Yeah,
—[144:43.160 --> 144:51.340] but but you gotta I'm glad you brought that up Let me just tell you something Lawyers are just like every motherfucking body in this room. Some have
—[144:51.340 --> 144:59.460] experience, some don't. Just because some need money, some don't. A lawyer would rather me do a deal for 5000000
—[144:59.720 --> 145:08.200] with 20% on the back end because he gets 5% of that 5 million. Then he would do a deal for 1 million and I get 80%
—[145:08.240 --> 145:16.420] of the back end. That lawyer is probably going to try to convince me to do the deal that puts more money in my pocket upfront because that puts more money in his pocket or
—[145:16.420 --> 145:24.580] her pocket upfront. So sometimes when we say a lawyer lawyer lawyer All lawyers are not created equal for sure like like all lawyers and I created equals
—[145:24.580 --> 145:32.780] So and not only that if you a kid This is an I know so much but these lawyers make money with the same motherfucking people You
—[145:32.780 --> 145:41.080] really think I've been in the business 25 years as a lawyer. I'm closing deals with Def Jam lawyer, Republic lawyer, and I just met you. Don't
—[145:41.080 --> 145:49.400] get me wrong, I'm gonna fight them for you, but I'm not gonna ruin my relationship with them for you. Can I say, Ray, I had an experience 18
—[145:50.160 --> 145:58.240] where someone's trying to sign me to a production situation and they're sending me to a lawyer? I had no clue that the lawyer actually represented
—[145:58.620 --> 146:06.660] them, which I had no clue was a kind of interest at that point. Like, People just don't understand certain things in a business you'll feel like, oh, cause I got a lawyer talking for,
—[146:06.660 --> 146:14.840] no, that motherfucker's still talking for himself and they still lined up with, they'd rather do long-term business with that label than have to go ahead and go with
—[146:14.840 --> 146:23.560] their ethics and do right for me. So fuck off. How are all these lawyers making so much money? How do they have, they're getting paid by the labels. That's
—[146:23.560 --> 146:31.689] how they make their money. So, they're gonna sell you. I did a deal with a lawyer. I'm not gonna put the lawyer out there. I figured it out. I did a deal in 2012. Deal. I
—[146:31.689 --> 146:39.880] ain't gonna say a name. But the lawyer basically- Can't wait to kick it back. But the dude who put me in the deal was somebody who the lawyer knew. So now
—[146:39.880 --> 146:48.740] I'm doing a deal and I'm like, and the lawyer's like, you gotta take care of him. I'm like, no, I'm not. He didn't do shit. He fucked me up. She was like, you're gonna take care of him. It
—[146:48.740 --> 146:56.820] was like, oh, 0, y'all friends. And we kind of find out they were best friends. My lawyer and this person. So you think that lawyer's
—[146:56.820 --> 147:04.920] not gonna sit in the room and stick up for their friends? Like lawyers are human just like everybody else. They just understand the law and how to use it when it's time. I've just seen a clip
—[147:04.920 --> 147:13.480] of Alex Cooper, my bad clip of Alex Cooper, according to her daddy. She was on the podcast and she was saying how when
—[147:13.480 --> 147:21.540] her agency, I want to say it was UTA, when she signed her big deal, that UTA was like, she said, how's this money gonna
—[147:21.540 --> 147:29.620] work? And she said, well, UTA was like, we're gonna take the money. I saw it, and she said, no we not. And we're gonna take our 5% and then
—[147:29.620 --> 147:37.680] give you the rest of it. And she was like, she had to learn that if UTA takes all this money, then this is the money that accounts on their books.
—[147:37.680 --> 147:46.560] And she was like, no, I'm going to take my money. I'll pay you 5%. She went on to say she'll never let her lawyer and her agency know
—[147:46.560 --> 147:54.560] each other because there's a game behind the games and played where all of them know each other So you're the 1 getting fucked because
—[147:54.560 --> 148:02.780] you're that they're all doing business Outside of you behind your back when you don't know so nobody needs to know each other is all of that But the shit that she said
—[148:02.780 --> 148:10.800] with the, cause I saw the interview, the shit that she said when she was like, yo, like let's say it's 100000000 dollars and they take the hundred million dollars,
—[148:10.840 --> 148:19.620] that hundred million dollars now wants hits their spreadsheet and hits their income sheet and then they kick it out. I didn't understand why
—[148:19.620 --> 148:28.160] that would be detrimental to her. I wouldn't let them take my money. Even when Hovain was like, yo, when we was fucking with Hovain, rest in peace, he was like, yo, we
—[148:28.160 --> 148:36.160] could get the option of allowing a check to come to him and him disperse it or vice versa, right? But I didn't understand what the detriment
—[148:36.220 --> 148:44.240] would have been if they did that outside of control. Can you explain that or no? I took it as the books. That's what I thought. I
—[148:44.240 --> 148:52.380] took it as like, y'all not gonna say y'all gross. Yeah, xyz Even though 95% of it is mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 5% is yours. But what did that do? Just make them look
—[148:52.380 --> 149:00.520] better as an agency? Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. But I'll be honest with you though. Yeah, make them look way better as an agency. In our business, people like that are the best people. Like those are the people, they say, hey look, she's
—[149:00.520 --> 149:08.640] coming in her room, she's smart, she knows everything, be on point. They do that for the smart magic, for the smart artists. If it's a dumb artist, they be like, oh,
—[149:08.640 --> 149:16.680] you can talk around him, but if it's smart, they be like, that guy's Parks, he works with Joe, he knows a lot, don't talk too much. They'll warn you how to
—[149:16.680 --> 149:24.760] do it. Just to make their agency look like they had way more revenue and they represented way more than it got it makes it okay Cuz I would have thought the tax rent why the tax
—[149:24.760 --> 149:32.960] verification is gonna be the same regardless Yeah, but I think it's just for that just for them to be GDP if that's where we had we had Gross
—[149:32.960 --> 149:41.040] makes you probably wanna add you to it don't have me Well, yeah, what should be like 60 80 hunted some some crazy not anyone? No, no, I
—[149:41.040 --> 149:50.060] count my shit. I'm fine. You're 5 years 150 Who is this? Podcasts
—[149:50.140 --> 149:58.220] oh, yeah So how do, is there any way for,
—[149:59.000 --> 150:07.220] let's say, Roscoe or somebody to fix the situation that he was in. Or what's up? Let me tell you something. If there's problem in the music business, I swear to God, bro,
—[150:07.220 --> 150:15.380] it's because 2 lawyers told 2 people, don't talk to each other. And me and Joe got problems. He go to his lawyer, I go to my lawyer, our lawyer's
—[150:15.380 --> 150:23.500] going to tell us, don't talk, So they can talk it out. Nigga, the easiest way to fix shit is for us to talk. It's just the lawyer, if the lawyer tells them to
—[150:23.500 --> 150:31.520] talk, then it's no need for them. So sometimes they insert themselves and then remove you. And I can keep charging you. Yeah, I keep building. Every
—[150:31.520 --> 150:39.520] 15 minutes, that perfect. Nigga just wants his rights back, boy. Yeah, but if he sat down with Boom or whoever has it, he could probably get it
—[150:39.520 --> 150:47.520] back. Niggas is fair in the business. It's just when you do bitch shit, like go online and start talking. It's like when they did the Freedia Locks. Puff was like, yo, y'all should've just called me.
—[150:47.620 --> 150:55.680] Now y'all gotta look it ugly like it's bad. So I just think that if he called them, they can work it out. The money is made already. That's what I
—[150:55.680 --> 151:03.740] would say. The money has been made. That record is already diamond. The money's already been disbursed. Yeah, we milked it, yeah we milked it. No hands? Yeah, no hands already, Diamond,
—[151:03.880 --> 151:12.120] you crazy? The money's made, give me shit back. That's when Puff gave all they shit back, that's why he gave it back, the money was made. I think the other reason Puff gave a lot of people
—[151:12.120 --> 151:20.140] they shit back too though. That's true too. Both. Hush. They can do shows, I don't know. Me can still do shows now, I mean.
—[151:20.140 --> 151:28.600] Still do shows? Just, you don't have no say if you wanted to administer it and try to get in the commercial or anything like that. You ain't seen a pump of them shit? That's
—[151:28.620 --> 151:36.660] all right. The Nick shit? That's all right. For the Nick's Warriors game. The promo they had going all week. Wanna hear something real funny? They hollered at you?
—[151:36.760 --> 151:45.240] Well yeah, I had to clear it. They ain't hollered at you to do it? What, to do what? What's your voice? The voiceover. But that's where the funny
—[151:45.260 --> 151:53.300] part comes in. My memory is bad. So I don't wanna get the line on nobody. They hollered at you and you said no with your dumb ass. Don't tell me
—[151:53.300 --> 152:01.520] that's what I hear. That's what I hear. No, I didn't say no to nothing. It's either 1 of 2 things. It's either A, when I cleared
—[152:01.520 --> 152:10.400] it, I did a promo drop, a voiceover drop, and I don't remember. Or they
—[152:10.400 --> 152:18.500] cleared pump it up and did the AI Joe Budden voice. It ain't sounding like you. It ain't

—[152:26.720 --> 152:34.770] you. No, it wasn't you. I don't think that was me. I don't think it was AI though, it sounded like a person. I don't think it was me. You didn't look me up in the studio and

—[155:12.380 --> 155:20.640] him like $400, 000. He gave him something for free. Baby paid $400, 000 for the watch. And when Baby took the book, the nigga hit Baby. Wait, that was. Yes,
—[155:21.040 --> 155:29.120] that's what I mean. You was arguing that day. I was like, yo, but the nigga said, the nigga hit Baby on Instagram. It was like, yo.

—[155:45.960 --> 155:54.380] Watches is what I do. Your watch that you got on, I don't know what you bought it for, I don't know what you, but that watch is not authentic. And he started giving them all the reasons.
—[155:54.380 --> 156:02.400] He said, yo, like, let's say on a Rolex, right? Oh, that was him that told him. Yes. Okay, I thought you were saying that was him that, all right, I got it. I'm
—[156:02.400 --> 156:10.440] sorry. I sold it to him. No, we still gotta bleep. Yeah, we still gotta bleep. Like on a Rolex, people don't know if you got a white gold Rolex on or
—[156:10.440 --> 156:18.680] if you got a stainless Rolex on, on the crown of the watch, the crown will have an Underline on it if it's white gold versus if it's stainless everybody
—[156:18.680 --> 156:27.700] don't know it's just little shit that everybody No, the niggas that really do this know like this shit that might say Chronometer
—[156:27.840 --> 156:35.900] on it might come in green the fake shit might have it in red. If you don't know that, you don't know. The watch niggas will
—[156:35.900 --> 156:44.060] be like, yo dog, your shit is in red, it's fake. They only make it in green. This is how you bag the bitches, get it. This is how you get them, I know. You know what, let me tell you something about
—[156:44.060 --> 156:52.520] your credit. If you don't see an underline on... Let me see your crown. Let me see the crown. Oh really? Women
—[156:52.520 --> 157:01.170] be impressed by niggas that don't shit. This is a legend. This is the most knowledgeable nigga and think that it's... He
—[157:01.580 --> 157:09.660] still think it was his looks. He oughta work, right? Yeah. He said, what's up? You still think it was your game. It was popping up, it was popping up. You know what I mean? It's
—[157:09.660 --> 157:17.760] cool. Y'all sweet, y'all want that to be true so bad. Hey, yo, dog, if it wasn't for Focus, you wouldn't have got no Focus. Yeah, you know better, You know better than that. On no fire.
—[157:19.020 --> 157:27.120] The fans are tired of our competitive war stories. Our. You got it, bro. I will say this. The 1 thing Joe did that I give
—[157:27.120 --> 157:37.420] him, watching the podcast space, he has his friends on. And I think you said something about somebody. And some of y'all. You said, no, you said like somebody and
—[157:37.420 --> 157:45.440] a few of y'all you was like yo the other you saw the gym you was like you you you filming with niggas it's not your friends something I saw and I was like Joe is
—[157:45.440 --> 157:53.560] smart he's the only these is friends. Like that's why y'all can argue like this. Y'all niggas is real, if my friends up here, we be arguing just like that. A nigga I know sounds 15,
—[157:53.860 --> 158:01.860] fuck you, nigga. I'm gonna fuck you with a nigga. I mean, will you borrow money? That's why this shit works. Y'all niggas are real friends. I hire niggas to make
—[158:01.860 --> 158:10.020] me more palatable and that would be my friends. That's y'all. That's peace. Not that y'all do a good job in making me more palatable
—[158:10.080 --> 158:18.360] either. But I don't even think y'all know that y'all supposed to. So wait, so wait. So wait, that's what we here for, right? Yes. Just to make shit easier for
—[158:18.360 --> 158:26.580] you to be. That is not what palatable means. That's not what it means. But y'all think you also hire friends because that makes you more tolerant Tolerable
—[158:27.180 --> 158:35.280] to them you think you can do this without you think you think you can you think strangers? Like you had a room of strangers and you come in on
—[158:35.280 --> 158:48.420] 1 of your moody days Go over well, yeah Hell
—[158:48.420 --> 158:57.345] no Crazy That's
—[158:57.345 --> 159:05.820] a separate conversation. But I'm a professional. So I look at it like I would be a professional at all times But I'd rather do it with my Joe.
—[159:06.040 --> 159:14.300] I ain't hear what he said. Who said core? He said I may not be happy And you're not gonna be nowhere working
—[159:14.300 --> 159:22.400] like that and not be happy So you'll go ahead and sacrifice other people's comfort before you sitting somewhere for a long time not fucking happy. I mean, I've worked at shows with people that I wasn't friends with.
—[159:22.400 --> 159:30.641] They were a massive success. They were huge. I got big checks. I made millions of dollars. You're not gonna make me do it because I don't wanna bait you. You got
—[159:30.641 --> 159:38.740] it. You win. But wait, what I'm saying is not debatable. It is not debatable, but I'm just saying facts. It is debatable. I just think it's a give
—[159:38.740 --> 159:47.859] and take. It's not just all 100% give. I think it's a give and take on everybody's, everybody's, and it meshes. You
—[159:47.859 --> 159:55.940] know what I'm saying? That's what I think. Nigga, you need friends, nigga. As the older I get, I'm trying to shed the fuck out of friends. I know, can't lie. I
—[159:55.940 --> 160:04.020] ain't, I ain't, I ain't. You need friends though, you need friends. Yeah, I ain't, that shit is overrated to me. After y'all. Yeah. That's it, that's it. You ain't bringing no more friends in there? Yeah,
—[160:04.020 --> 160:12.080] it'll be cousins. I gotta go to family members. So, so, so, so this is, this is an actual good question, right? In my brain,
—[160:12.080 --> 160:20.180] at least. Because I've heard you and Ian say before, like, you know what, you do have a vision for maybe a possible like an SNL treatment of the show
—[160:20.220 --> 160:28.640] and I think that's that's fly right so let's just say at a certain point everyone that people get caught up on him saying that SNL part what he meant was launching pad
—[160:29.720 --> 160:37.840] but that's not all you said He did say people venturing off and then possibly coming back. That's cool. Launching path, but that means people would have to leave.
—[160:39.160 --> 160:47.180] That's what I'm saying. So let's just say there comes a day where everyone that's now surrounded no longer looks like actual. When I go home, I see
—[160:47.180 --> 160:55.380] the day we eat you all you Really now when yeah when that is and how that happens different that's up
—[160:55.380 --> 161:03.420] to So you see that that's up to a lot you see that in your vision Yeah Yeah. Oh, you playing for that? I gotta tell my man, oh, you playing for
—[161:03.420 --> 161:11.580] that? See, he talking. I know you're a tricker. I'm not a retarded. He's talking funny. He talking. I know you're a trickster. He's just like, hey, yo, let me move my man
—[161:11.580 --> 161:19.620] here and put this here. Hold on. He lost his job? Come here. Oh, see. Let me put that here. Yo, you go back that way. You playing
—[161:19.620 --> 161:27.640] for that nigga. You play chess with your niggas. I see a world where, what am I, 40, what, be 46? We've
—[161:27.640 --> 161:35.660] been doing this for 10 years. I'm still feeling rather spry. Let's call it, you do another 10 to 15, that
—[161:35.660 --> 161:43.900] puts me at 60, 61. You see yourself doing that, you see yourself bark at it till 61, Joe? I don't understand them.
—[161:43.900 --> 161:51.920] No, I'm bad, no, no. You see yourself bark at it till 61? Yeah. Or whatever it's called at that point. Yeah, I'm not call me some creating. Yeah,
—[161:51.920 --> 162:00.120] I'd see much How I got 20 million other projects that I'm working on nice outside of this like outside
—[162:00.120 --> 162:08.580] of podcast Of course, it's peace. I don't see any of them, fuck you, I don't see any of them making me not do this anymore.
—[162:09.060 --> 162:17.360] I can see me and Parks being 70, like looking at each other like. They're still doing it. No, no, that's me, Howard
—[162:17.360 --> 162:25.480] Stern is still doing it. That's when the show's gonna get good too. It's just old people don't give a fuck. And he still has Rob in, he still has... They wouldn't let him leave, Howard. Right, he got... They wouldn't
—[162:25.480 --> 162:33.580] let him leave. Didn't he get like 500 million? I thought that was so telling. This nigga is however old he is, done everything in the world, it's finished and hired
—[162:33.580 --> 162:41.960] new people, gave them hundreds of million dollars, they started announcing shit, yo, Howard might be on his... When it got to the end of that contract Yeah, come on. How we're staying Howard
—[162:41.960 --> 162:50.060] staying another nigga here another year yeah, like what you mean you do this shit Let's say
—[162:50.060 --> 162:58.240] the fucking broadcast podcast market continues to just boom boom boom boom boom you ready to walk away from However, many millions it looked
—[162:58.240 --> 163:06.320] like at 59 It's so easy to use like this shit is

—[163:22.780 --> 163:30.820] the whole staff out. I don't know what he's saying, but he's talking to Kev on stage. And I can't hear him. He's talking to Kev on stage. Oh, that's how you know he down bad right now. He went to the
—[163:30.820 --> 163:39.540] gospel, nigga. Kev on stage that came here. What the fuck? Why would you say Kev? That was
—[163:39.540 --> 163:47.660] a great interview. That was 1 of our best interviews. If you going to see Kev on If you going to see Kev on stage to talk about what

—[164:04.400 --> 164:12.440] I think it was Imani said, I'm a fan of the movement but not the music. And you responded to him. You like, you appreciate that. Other artists would have
—[164:12.440 --> 164:20.460] taken that as a slight. To you, is a movement more important than the music? Far more. You can always get to music through the
—[164:20.460 --> 164:28.940] movement. But you could be a fan of music and not invest in nothing else. I look at it as I'm a tree. Music is 1 branch
—[164:29.060 --> 164:37.080] on my tree. I write books, I make music, I write films, I'm funny, I sell gold cards, I do dope shows, I

—[165:02.480 --> 165:10.560] I put into this world I'm cool with that it didn't sound like a shout out at all that's what he titled his ass but I mean salute.

—[180:31.860 --> 180:40.200] just not particularly my bag. It can get weird fast. Now what happened is the chicks that I meet usually at the shows, they was there because
—[180:40.200 --> 180:48.380] some of your goofy male fans thought bringing their girls there was a cool thing and they really don't want to be there. So I just happened to
—[180:48.380 --> 180:56.580] be the person that they can connect with, not you. That happened in Orlando. They're gonna pick that. Only you, man. Only you. So hold on, so I'm saying,

—[181:22.180 --> 181:31.160] it's going to make me look less than a man. No, I don't think I'm a less of a man because a chick might have flung a fuck-y for whatever reason. You supposed to care about that? I swear to God, listen, I'm just asking. Yes,
—[181:31.160 --> 181:39.200] if I fucked a chick years ago when I was a relationship expert, and right after we finished, she said, I can't believe I fucked Ray Hitch. And I looked at her so different from that point
—[181:39.200 --> 181:47.360] forward. I was like, ugh. I love when they say that. I was weird. You fucked me. It's a risk more than it's a, You're fucking with me now. Like, I'm a man. Like, I'm not the man from the
—[181:47.360 --> 181:56.160] show, but you still see the man from the show you a fan you know some fan energy I don't fuck fans cuz they get weird. They start looking at you at night Talking

—[184:00.660 --> 184:08.800] actually the case. That wasn't the case. The girl that we met in the club after the show. No, she was at the show. I'm telling you because I had
—[184:08.800 --> 184:17.060] a girl from San Antonio there, and she told me that the girl, she met her at the show. And she was just all the way in the back, and she was 100% there for the show. But she came
—[184:17.060 --> 184:25.460] to the club pretending like she was not there. The bitch was a fan. But ain't matter, just because she's there doesn't mean she's a fan. But she didn't get popped.
—[184:25.460 --> 184:33.720] That wasn't my move. That's the other part about you 2. After the show, I wanted to go. That's the other part of what you 2 is. That's the 1 part. You won't even admit to it. That's the part. You know what's funny? He

—[184:49.980 --> 184:58.060] like the cat would be out the back. I'm trying to go to the hotel alone. Y'all niggas go have fun. That was not my bad. I would
—[184:58.060 --> 185:06.180] say the times that I was on the road with you, you had your girl with you. That's different. So that sounds more like my bad. That'll absolve you from what they say. I
—[185:06.180 --> 185:14.600] would bring a girl on tour, have her sleeping in the bunk. Way quicker than that. Yeah, then I'm just fucking random. I'm not the guy that fucks random girls
—[185:14.660 --> 185:23.040] at no point in my life, I'm telling you. You know I've been on the road with you when Cory and Parks wasn't around right? You know that right? I'm on have you seen me
—[185:23.040 --> 185:31.160] lay something down on the road? I've never watched you cuz I'm not into watching niggas lace up But we don't have kickbacks where I brought a bunch of the bitches to the room. You and Parks had the
—[185:31.160 --> 185:39.280] Heineken Girl And have a girl leave the morning after. Now I don't know, maybe you're right. I don't know. That don't do
—[185:39.280 --> 185:47.580] nothing. I don't know. That don't do nothing. That's why you like me. That nigga's too semantic. That don't do nothing. That's the point. He too semantic. Yeah, he fuck out of here. Yo, dog, I know that y'all think
—[185:47.620 --> 185:55.960] all I do is I'm telling you I swear for God I swear to God kids put it on something. No, this is not my ammo
—[186:08.940 --> 186:17.000] A fan like if I fuck you use a fan, I didn't know that. Now that I know it's different, but I'm not going to knowingly. I'm telling you. Because it feels lame. It's like I'm only taking a white piece.
—[186:17.120 --> 186:25.140] It's too dangerous to me. It's just too dangerous to me. Yes. I'm admitting to that being the case. I'm not saying Joe.
—[186:25.140 --> 186:33.260] But the Joe Budden meet and greet sniper. Every meet and greet. Because I've done meet and greet to my own. I've been on the road with Kiss. I've been on the road on my own. Every meet and greet tonight.
—[186:33.260 --> 186:41.460] Well not every, not every. You shouldn't say it. I'm not saying that, I'm just saying. Niggas are whore. I'm not saying that. Every meet and greet, every chat, every chat. I've ever had a meet and greet. I've
—[186:41.460 --> 186:49.540] fucked some bitches. I've fucked some bitches on the road. No, what I'm saying is that no, That is not your bag. I will give you that. You are not supposed to try that. But for you to try
—[186:49.540 --> 186:57.620] to portray that you have no point in your career, have knowingly fucked a fan is crazy. You've been first off
—[186:57.620 --> 187:05.940] a celebrity since 21? 21? Yeah. You're trying to tell me in all of the history of how many women you have sex with
—[187:06.440 --> 187:15.380] Not 1 of them came to the table as either a groupie or fan and you've actually done anything many of them were Groupies
—[187:16.480 --> 187:24.740] But fans of Joe button you gotta remember Joe button was underground music for a long time, I gotta tell you that. When I was swinging, I was swinging at the top, I
—[187:24.740 --> 187:32.780] was swinging high. So when clubbing, pumping up, all that's rocking. Cause that's a moment where you have records that clubbing for 1 is still considered an
—[187:32.780 --> 187:40.780] R&B record. You're on an R&B record, you're performing it, so you are touring and being able to get that record off. So I'm pretty sure you're attracting certain women out
—[187:40.780 --> 187:48.780] at that point. You know what's funny? When I was 21, long story less long, when I was 21 and All the dudes
—[187:48.780 --> 187:56.880] were doing the music industry dudes were doing it though peer pressure thing like yo We better go in the world you better fucking bitch. You gotta fuck all the bitches Let me tell my fun bitches every titty bitches
—[187:56.960 --> 188:05.220] like all right when I was 20 and 21 and you hear all that. I went out on the road of the promo tour, free tour, and fucked this
—[188:05.220 --> 188:13.700] fat girl. So that's 1. I'm having the music out at the time. I fucked this fat girl
—[188:13.820 --> 188:21.880] and boy it was the worst feeling in the world. I scrubbed this shit out of my dick. From that day forward,
—[188:21.880 --> 188:29.980] I was like, you know what? I just don't get the hype about hitting different towns and just fucking the random girl there. And all the towns, they was
—[188:29.980 --> 188:38.560] throwing themselves at us. That's scary, That's more so scary to me. Because who's coming in this town next? Like
—[188:38.560 --> 188:46.880] if you're doing this for me, I think that whoever's coming to this town, you just jump in. That's not mine. See what I think a disconnect is, is Imani and me, They weren't necessarily there,
—[188:46.880 --> 188:55.260] probably weren't there at all to see me eat a bite. At all. So it's not the same thing. I understand. I get that. Yeah. Yeah. Low
—[188:55.260 --> 189:03.320] risk. Yeah. Low risk. Yeah. I probably would never be back. What tour was it? The Block Gang Tour? The Block Gang Tour? 1 of them super early
—[189:03.320 --> 189:11.500] tours. Like no Song Out, no popularity, no nothing. Just 1 of them obscure towns that if famous niggas or soon to be famous niggas is there
—[189:11.500 --> 189:19.700] They just jump in they just jump in they fucking just in case you pop up. Yeah That's what a double back and also when you come back And then it feel good.
—[189:19.860 --> 189:28.020] It doesn't feel good. We try to keep in touch a little bit after that. I'm on my way. See, that's when he fucked up. You tried to keep in touch with him. Well, I'd like
—[189:28.020 --> 189:36.480] to Never mind. Yeah, Joe likes I like to talk to people. I'm sorry. How you doing? Sorry, man. How
—[189:36.480 --> 189:44.580] you doing? How's everything? How you doing? How's the kids? Hey, how you doing? You been all right? I just like to feel like I know
—[189:44.580 --> 189:52.700] who I'm fucking because it's dangerous now. These chicks are taking it down. It's too scary. No, no, no. Today. Today. Listen, my first half of my
—[189:52.700 --> 190:00.820] life, I've met plenty of women. I'm like, hey, how you doing? And they were like Ray we fucked and I'm like we did What oh no, but that's
—[190:00.820 --> 190:08.860] my point When I hit 40 it was like I got I got to think differently now like I can't show I don't feel too many women in My life is like
—[190:08.860 --> 190:16.880] when do you get tired of that shit? Like, you fuck another 1, another, it's like, sometimes you gotta feel fulfilled and start focusing on yourself. And when I did that, it just doesn't, like, I don't wanna
—[190:16.880 --> 190:25.260] fuck with a groupie. I don't even want to be around chicks right now I feel like I'm being sent up saying I'm gonna like they're recording me. I feel like I'm being set up I'm like
—[190:25.380 --> 190:33.480] I didn't come this far to let a piece of ass take it down Watch me 24
—[190:33.480 --> 190:41.500] 7 3 5 and once you Can say how the word just don't want to make nobody mad. Just go ahead and talk shit, go ahead.
—[190:41.500 --> 190:49.960] Yes, hey, just say it blunt. Like once you learn that you could just fuck the baddest bitches in all the cities and the rest of the shit ain't.
—[190:50.180 --> 190:58.440] There's nothing. But Joe, I think everybody is speaking from, of course, for most of us, it's a past tense experience. What I'm saying is
—[190:58.440 --> 191:06.640] that there are some people that care more than others, and there's also a part of it where people feel like I am handling it in the safest way possible. It's not like you on the road,
—[191:06.640 --> 191:14.760] you're bringing it back, trying to build a relationship, you are bringing them to your crib or whatever the fuck it is. So I agree with what
—[191:14.760 --> 191:22.780] Ray is saying. You do reach a point in their age where we all have all these stories we're not going to continue to move like that now. If we went on a tour right now I'm not going
—[191:22.780 --> 191:31.860] into every city and every meet and greet and trying to beat. That's not happening. Every no. Not every. Every no.
—[191:32.900 --> 191:41.080] No. Some of them though. But guess what? A few of them. A few of them. Let's just say I'm single and I do I would entertain it, but I would make sure But the 1 thing I'm also very safe about
—[191:41.080 --> 191:49.320] is I also have people in a row with me that I don't want to put at risk of being caught up in my bullshit either. So I do try to assess the risk
—[191:49.320 --> 191:57.360] of... And what I'll say when it comes to like me and you while we're having this talk, like on some straight man shit. On some straight man shit. You a straight man, I'm a
—[191:57.360 --> 192:05.500] straight man. We straight men. That's peace. It's about peace and move. Define it. Oh shit. It's open
—[192:05.500 --> 192:13.620] to interpretation. And this is just... I know the audience is going to take this wrong. I truly believe in my heart of hearts on some straight
—[192:13.620 --> 192:21.900] man shit. You like pussy a lot more than me. I agree. Like a lot. I agree. Like a lot. That's what I'm saying. You know what's
—[192:21.900 --> 192:30.000] funny? I don't think. He worshiped that. I think his niggas out there that just enjoy pussy. What an idiot. He's actually a pussy. It's not pussy. It's not a pussy thing.
—[192:30.000 --> 192:38.120] I agree with that. It's not my bad. What do you think of this, E? If you took for the psychological example. If you want me to be honest, and y'all can make fun of it so far.
—[192:38.140 --> 192:46.220] It's cool, you're gonna make fun of it. We're gonna. I really do enjoy connecting with women in a certain way. Oh, he's a
