Very entertaining, very funny. And I'm glad that we finally have them here. Cause this conversation's been long overdue. We've been talking about having them on for a while.
Maul
Stop being so fucking formal and get the rolling start.
Heineken
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maul
They want the ignorance. We here with bad fuel how to get so. And we got space here as well. Nah, nah. I wanna get some shit. I wanna get some shit.
Rory
Let's get right.
Heineken
Where's my girl at though? The marriage.
Rory
The marriage baby D be. You know she come in whatever she feel like. You know this world we live in.
Randy
Now we got valuable enough.
Heineken
I know she took the vac. She took the off day PTO popular for her to come.
Rory
That's probably not.
Maul
You need to come on a Monday or a Thursday. That's really it.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
Okay.
Maul
Monday, Wednesday she don't be in here.
Randy
Wednesday she ain't coming making all type of excuses.
Rory
Listen man, just roll the tape back. She. She never hit on Wednesday. She's never here. Was only way she'll be here on a Wednesday if we have a guest is if it's somebody like she like a Chris Brown. Like oh, Chris.
Maul
But even her defense she missed Bryson Tiller and that was a Wednesday and she. She wanted to do that. But yeah.
Heineken
It's not personal. Then.
Rory
Yeah. No, never.
Maul
But now. I mean space could take.
Heineken
Take her space got topics especially he got.
Rory
You got topics. What you want to talk about? Let's get to it because let's start with the first.
Heineken
Yeah, let's start Cardi B. And now what y' all put let's talk about her not wanting to get a divorce.
Rory
Not wanting to get a divorce.
Maul
I didn't know that part. See y' all know more about Cardi B than I do.
Rory
Yeah, I didn't know nothing about that.
Maul
Isn't she in a relationship in breakfast.
Randy
And she's saying that offset in order to get the divorce for him to sign off. She's saying allegedly that she want. He wants her to pay his taxes. Yep. He wants her to give her to give him a property and something else. He wants something.
Heineken
I just want to say God bless equal rights and she's. It worked out perfectly in all sex favorite hold On.
Maul
So Cardi B definitely talked to Mary J. Blige, the only woman that's had to pay alimony.
Heineken
Cardi B would have to pay, too.
Maul
As she should, though.
Heineken
Oh, yeah, I agree.
Maul
And that's not a Cardi B thing particular. But how she got alimony works, she gotta do that.
Rory
Wait, hold on.
Maul
I don't agree with the alimony lawyer.
Randy
You know more than one. Nobody say nothing about Cardi B.
Rory
No, no, I love Cardi, but I'm just. I'm trying to figure off Offset.
Randy
Allegedly is what Cardi Bs come out and said.
Rory
Offset wants the divorce, Cardi doesn't.
Heineken
Yes, because she would have to pay out because.
Randy
No, Offset wants it. But in order for him to sign off, she's saying he wants his taxes paid.
Rory
Oh, okay.
Randy
He wants a property and something else. It's something else.
Rory
The only reason. All right, so this is McCarty saying.
Maul
Y' all want to know the tea? The only way I can get out of my marriage is if I pay for somebody else's taxes. Even though I pay for my own and give them one of my properties. I'm gonna fight for that. That is not no love. I'm not gonna stop living my life. I mean, that's just a divorce, though. Don't you, like, go split up assets and owe money back? Like, that's just a divorce. No.
Rory
Yeah.
Maul
That's why divorces take 10 years.
Rory
But I'm on the side of enlightened. If I'm Offset and my ex wife is months pregnant with her new dude already. I'm not. Let's just get this over with. Like, I want nothing.
Heineken
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Randy
I'm not.
Rory
I'm not. Like, she's pregnant by someone. It's like, all right, cool. Like, I'm not even embarrassed.
Randy
You got.
Heineken
You got a great NFL wide receiver impregnating your wife while you're legally marri. That's what it was designed for.
Rory
I don't know.
Randy
They don't want you saying nothing about Cardi B. No, no, no, no.
Maul
I'm just saying it says wild shit about Cardi B, though.
Rory
As a man. You got the thing. As a man, I don't think that I would even want to drag that.
Heineken
You're not wrong.
Rory
I'm just like, yo, let's just get this over with. Because it's just like, I'm. This is obviously completely done.
Heineken
I want the mansions. Give me the mansions. Giving the Maybachs.
Rory
Yeah. But Offset got some. He naughty. I mean, he probably Is not doing as well. I'm not pocket watching, but he's probably not doing as well as guardians.
Heineken
But take more. This is what it was designed for. Equal rights.
Randy
It's true. If it was a man, if it was vice versa, we'd be like, give her a house.
Heineken
Yes.
Randy
Pay her little taxes and give us something.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
But y' all know standards are real.
Rory
But y' all know it just looks away. It's like, I mean, as men, it's a lot of shit. We just got to take on the chin and just be like, yo, marriage your business?
Randy
Huh?
Maul
Marriage is a business.
Heineken
It's a business.
Randy
At the end of the day, it's a business.
Maul
You don't have to be in love.
Randy
He's trying to split when he needs. Where he needs his money, and she's gonna get his.
Maul
It's a business breakup.
Heineken
If Offset has started off the marriage saying, I want prenup, everybody would have dragged him and said, it's about love. When you make it business, it's not really about love. That's what they always say. Right now the tables are reversed.
Randy
The tables turn. She got more money. Yeah. She's in a better position. Yeah.
Heineken
Nobody dragged Rihanna when she said, I'm not mad.
Maul
Kevin Federline like, yo, be a man. Don't take nothing.
Randy
Give me my 10 million, I'm out.
Rory
Yeah.
Maul
But he's accustomed to a certain life.
Rory
Pregnant with another child.
Maul
Yeah.
Rory
What does that mean? I think as a man, I'm just like, man, I don't even like, yo, whatever we got to do for me to never have to even stand in front of this woman again.
Heineken
But y' all have to.
Randy
You got three kids.
Rory
I don't got to see her, see my kids.
Heineken
That's not how that works.
Rory
Party again to see his kids. Y' all know that.
Randy
No, no, no, no.
Rory
Put the kids in the. In the truck.
Maul
Sports and other activities, graduation, holidays.
Rory
She's on the. She's in the. She's in the end zone. I'm standing by the 50 yard line. She got to stand over there by the end zone.
Maul
Okay, well, I need a car to drive to football practice. Party.
Randy
Yeah.
Rory
Nah, that's nasty.
Heineken
That's nasty.
Rory
A man can't do that. Nah, nah, nah, nah.
Randy
You can't do that.
Rory
Nah, that's nothing.
Randy
When you do nothing. Right. If we split up and she got more money than me, I want a crib.
Heineken
Yup.
Randy
I don't know about paying my taxes. I don't know about that.
Heineken
You know what it is?
Randy
If we're married, but I'm keeping it honest. Like y' all said. If we're married and we got properties, will I naturally get me a proper property anyway? Why would I have to get a property from her? Or is he saying he wants a extra property? Like, what are we talking about?
Rory
He's trying to hit a home run. You know that.
Maul
Like, this is all him and Esso's point, though. Like. All right, if they have. They had an LA one and Atlanta one. I don't know these people. Business.
Randy
Just what they tell us, supposedly, in New Jersey.
Rory
Yeah.
Maul
Like, if we're splitting all that. Yeah. We need to bust down which properties are going which. And on top of that, it could not just be his personal taxes. They could have property tax. They could have business together.
Randy
Yeah.
Maul
His taxes have not been paid.
Rory
Like, this answers all of this. They don't have a prenup.
Maul
No, I don't think.
Heineken
Pretty much not.
Randy
I guess if we did, we wouldn't.
Heineken
Be talking about this.
Randy
She wouldn't be up there talking about, oh, he wants his tax. That would already be in the paperwork. Yeah, but like. But like he said prior, when they got married, he was the one that was up. Right.
Rory
His first album year in.
Randy
Yeah. Say they both was up.
Rory
They both doing well for you.
Randy
Let's give them both up. Yeah. Nobody. Nobody.
Rory
Well, on the album, Cardi's saying that she. She's, like, making more than him. She's. She said.
Randy
You mean right now?
Rory
I mean everybody right now. I'm just saying, like, not since the album came out. I'm saying she put that in the bars. Meaning she. That's like. She's known. Like, I'm making more than him.
Randy
But when. When she. I'm not even gonna go into that.
Rory
Yeah, no. Go into it.
Randy
No, no, no.
Rory
Say what you gotta say.
Randy
When I go based upon things, I always go back to the. And we had Offset on the show one time, and I asked him, I said, yo, how does it feel to be like, you know, you really helped spawn Cardi B. To me, it's like, because the relationship with you and her was what took it worldwide and the record and all that. He was like, I ain't got nothing to do with that. You know what I'm saying? That's what he said. He's like, I ain't got nothing to do with that.
Rory
Yeah. She was lit before they got together.
Randy
You think so?
Maul
Absolutely.
Rory
She has the greatest first rap album.
Randy
They was together.
Maul
Bodak Yellow.
Randy
Bodak Yellow was out. They was together.
Maul
No, yes, they was after bodega for sure.
Randy
She was in Europe when Bodak Yellow was fresh. She was in Europe, and they asked her about Offset in Europe and. Yes, and that's when it leaked. And Bodak Yellow blew up right after that.
Rory
Oh, that came out in June.
Randy
They got married in September of the same year. That's what I'm saying. They were together already. My.
Maul
But I'm not. I'm not.
Randy
They were just keeping it quiet. That's what I'm trying to tell you. They was together already.
Heineken
No, he was different. He was when they got put together. That's why he know.
Randy
Okay, but it was together.
Maul
Fair. But let's not just say. There was also Cardi putting out good music, Atlantic behind it, her personality, everything she had had before on social media, it was a whole.
Rory
It helped both of them. Yeah, it did.
Randy
Cardi put out a dope album, but before that album, no street records. People was not fucking with those records. I be. Can I curse up here?
Rory
Yeah, of course. Absolutely.
Randy
I be with it. I be with the DJs. And back then, that's all I did. And I'm gonna say this on camera. I used to come to the DJs and be like, yo, y' all gonna play cardi B. And N. S was laughing at me. And they was like. And he knows that. I was like. And they would be like. This is what they would say, Randy, why you think we gonna be playing Cardi B? She can't rap or whatever. I said. Because nobody works harder than her. And because she works so hard, all it takes is to get one joint. And when she get that one joint, she gonna kick the door down. Because evidently she works harder. And people liked her personality from television already. So I kind of saw that, you know what I'm saying? But when the Bodak thing. I'm telling y', all, when the Bodak. It was a good record. I knew about it. It was going to be popping. But, like. Like he said, they got married right after that. And that relationship is what took her worldwide, I'm telling y'. All. Yeah, People wasn't thinking about her like that. She was. She was. She had 500, 000 followers, and they was rocking with her. But when that relationship changed, because Migos was through the roof at that time, and that really helped her. You know what I'm saying?
Maul
I'm not saying it didn't help her, but to what you were also saying, her being a hard worker and her being able to follow up with Bodak, there's a million artists that have a Bodak yellow and not a motorsport after that. Or not a classic first album. Like, that happens all the time.
Randy
Migos record. And then if we talking right from the beginning, right, Some people are gonna burst, right? So if I'm with y', all, right? Say when Backfield first started, when we had the spin off, if y' all could have said, yo, we gonna with y', all, right? You know what I mean? And we could have said, all right, Boom, boom, boom. Yo, we gonna bring y' all under the umbrella and all that. Y' all might have not thought that we was gonna burst, but say we do go on and burst and we start doing extra numbers and we making millions and millions of dollars more than y', all, right? I still would owe y'. All. Mm. You feel what I'm saying? That beginning and that break and that matters, putting me on that platform.
Rory
But now everybody don't think the way you think.
Randy
I know that. But that's why I'm saying, if I'm Cardi B, I'm. Yo, bro, if I' all this money, yo. Get a stupid. The house. Get it. Pay this his dumb ass taxes. Yeah, give him the stupid. Because I got a baby by another football player that even if he's going out the league, they still make $8 million, $12 million. You know, the money. If I really want to get this out the way, let's just get it out the way, and let's just move on. Why would I drag it out? That's how I'm thinking. If I'm Cardi. Because I'm in the driver's seat.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
And if I really want this shit behind me, I'm putting this shit behind me.
Heineken
That's a big fact.
Randy
That's how you think. To me, that's how I think. If you got the money and I.
Rory
Can you get it over.
Randy
And you. You got that, too.
Rory
Let's just get it over.
Randy
And I'm gonna move on and let it just me.
Heineken
I want to think that way, but I'm seeing too many dudes getting private investigators trying to deal with divorces right now.
Maul
Okay?
Heineken
The women play really nasty because men want to be honorable, because what mall said that is not a manly thing to take money from a woman from a divorce. But in order to fix this ideology, an example has to be made for them to say, we need to chill right now. If Offset got to be the first one to do it, to lay the groundwork, so be it.
Randy
But I understand where Maul's Coming from he right. I agree with Maul because there was a time I'm getting divorced, but there was a time when I was with my wife where I took a step back so she could make more money. And I was cool with that, and it had nothing to do with me. But I do know that if I divorced her at that time and she was still making that much more, because she's probably making three, four more times. You right. I wouldn't have asked her for nothing. I would have just spun off. Because even that's just.
Rory
Man, that's the difference, though.
Randy
But I didn't look at it like that when you first said it.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
Because I. Because at that time, I would have been like, I ain't taking.
Heineken
But some women are smart.
Randy
Do my own thing. I'm gonna get back to doing what I do right. And just get my bread.
Rory
And that's just our nature to be like, yo, listen, whatever she need, take it.
Randy
It's over with it. You got it.
Maul
But I'm talking. That would be on that side.
Heineken
If they think a man going to be up, they'll drag the divorce out. Still say you married. Just like the coach on the Heat when Pat Riley did a service and said, we gonna hold your contract. And then when the divorce is final, 200 million. Here you go.
Maul
Yeah, I mean, but to the honorable thing. Again, we don't know these people, but I can see Cardi, based off what she's told us, just one side of the story.
Heineken
Yeah.
Maul
Offset wasn't the most honorable person in that relationship, which could lead somebody to extremely petty when it comes to a divorce. So, yeah, you helped put me on. You helped launch my career. But I didn't come for that. I came because I loved you, and you dishonored that.
Randy
How about this publicly, let me tell you.
Maul
Why am I paying you?
Randy
Cause y' all talking crazy, right? If that's the case about being that right. When Austin first got with her, people had issues of saying, like, why would he be with Cardi B? She had a reputation. People said a lot of things about her, and he overlooked those things as well, bro. And, and, and, and, and, and he went to a place where not too many would have gone with her. And people was looking at him like, yo, you really gonna marry her, bro? And he did it and did have.
Heineken
Three kids and dropped three albums in her.
Maul
Back to back to back, dropping three albums in hers.
Randy
We got to remember, we always forget the beginning for some reason. We always remember when is in the top spot and who got the leverage. This is a leverage game.
Maul
What were people saying about Cardi though? She's a stripper.
Randy
I'm gonna say Cardi, come on. I'm not gonna go into it.
Maul
I'm outside. You were in the outside looking in.
Randy
I'm going to. You can look online and things have.
Rory
Yeah, you can scroll back in 27, bro.
Randy
I'm not gonna lie. It's a lot, bro. You know what I'm saying? He said things on his show with him that then. 20 million hits.
Maul
That's been.
Randy
That's wild for me.
Heineken
Oh yeah, it went viral again. I forgot about that.
Randy
With that people of a certain stature, especially where he was at at that time. People forget he was taking heat, bro. Yeah.
Maul
All right, so. All right, so let me. Can I reply to that?
Heineken
What's up?
Maul
All right. If you wife a alleged promiscuous woman, that's your prerogative. You can do that. Just because you agree to do that doesn't mean. Now when I get in this relationship, I can a bunch of and embarrass.
Randy
You publicly kind of. I gotta get a couple of things off.
Maul
As long as you don't get in a relationship with a woman that has a reputation. And I'm not saying this about car just in general.
Randy
Yeah, that's that nigga's thing. If I with a thought or a hoe and I'm giving you a chance and you catch me a couple times, you best to turn your head. Yeah, because I attitude. Nobody.
Rory
That is crazy.
Maul
You don't think nobody was wa.
Randy
After this one? After she became this Cardi B. Yeah, after she became this. I'm not talking about wife and I'm talking about making her your wife. For real.
Maul
You think that was her first relationship Ring.
Heineken
When a ring.
Randy
A ring is you, it means a whole lot. That's a contract now, right?
Rory
But that don't mean. That don't mean she got to turn her head.
Heineken
If yes, she does.
Randy
Nah, turn your. Yo, B, B, B, I accept.
Maul
So any chick that has a pass, you can just cheat on it.
Randy
Yeah, right. You better cheat me and accept me for who the. I see.
Rory
Now you got to appreciate me more, cuz. You think that I'm crazy.
Randy
I this crazy.
Rory
I'm not this crazy.
Maul
Like because you. You decide you no one else you decide to date a woman with a pass, you get to just around on her, publicly embarrass her, cheat on her. That's not get other pregnant, come back with std.
Randy
Me? Yeah. I said if you catch me cheating, I Say bring. You.
Heineken
You got to turn your head real quick.
Randy
You throw her. You throw.
Rory
But because she was, I guess what they say. Promiscuous.
Randy
Promiscuous before we got together, which we don't know.
Rory
And she's not doing nothing while we're together.
Maul
Nothing. No. You tripping, bro.
Randy
All right.
Heineken
Did Kanye west have the right to cheat on Kim Kardashian even with the sex t.
Randy
Supposed to turn her head. That was her.
Rory
That was her boyfriend that she made a sex tate with. That was her boyfriend at the time.
Heineken
That's a porno.
Rory
That ain't. That was her boyfriend. That was some. That was some guy she met at a bar.
Randy
We ain't talking about this. That. Come on, come on, come on.
Rory
M. But if we're married. Listen, if I'm married. Listen, if.
Heineken
If we're married chicks, you. That I can't. Wife.
Randy
Yo, cuz, you going to laugh.
Maul
Yeah.
Randy
Top tier.
Rory
But not if. Not if. Not if you're married to her, though, like, and she's not. She's not doing nothing. She's not stepping out at all.
Maul
Okay.
Rory
She's not stepping out on your marriage at all. And you think that it's okay for the. For the husband to just cheat?
Heineken
Yes.
Rory
Y'.
Randy
All. Look, I'm not going to say. I'm not going to say all of them.
Maul
So you get to cheat because mom teased you for wife?
Randy
Yes.
Heineken
You crush my ego. I got to get him back.
Randy
What are we talking about?
Maul
What does your ego ma and your have to do with anything?
Randy
Listen, it's. Man.
Maul
Yeah.
Rory
Like, you always got that option.
Maul
Check with Mo with every decision you ever make for the rest of your life.
Rory
Yo, I'm gonna take my girl out tonight. Is that okay?
Heineken
Listen, don't be around when I'm with her.
Rory
Nah, man, y' all tripping.
Heineken
I always used to be like, how do be around.
Randy
Nah, Let me not say no.
Maul
I feel you on that, though.
Rory
It's awkward. It's awkward.
Heineken
It is awkward.
Rory
We cool. And you are now dating like a girl that I dated.
Randy
Yeah.
Rory
And, like, you walk in. Of course. That's naturally. It's awkward.
Randy
We not talking about a girl.
Rory
You talk about a girl. Just have fun with.
Randy
Whoa, whoa. Y' all having. Y' all having. Y' all watering the conversation down a little bit. A girl? No. What were we discussing? Somebody who, from the beginning, who would have been known or said to be promiscuous. Yeah, right.
Rory
Okay.
Randy
Not somebody that mom might have had. Just. Yeah, she might have just been a girl. He Just. And he didn't like it no more.
Rory
Yeah, we just had fun. Yeah, we have fun.
Randy
Not to me. She's a slut burger. We talking about what somebody would allegedly say. So even if we don't know, I was not there. I can't confirm nothing and no woman or anybody that has done. But we know that we know hear things. Not about her, but about other women and what it makes it people think about them just hearing it. If it's just multiple times. If that guy said it. Damn. You heard it too. You heard it too. We heard it from your. Nah.
Heineken
Oh, man. The scouting report is matching up too much.
Randy
The scouting report gets crazy.
Heineken
What's up, bro?
Maul
All right. So what if Offset had just heard rumors that were never confirmed because she's Cardi B. People gonna talk. People talk about people that we don't even know about.
Heineken
That's facts.
Rory
I don't even make this a Cardi situation.
Randy
It's just a regular convo. Yes.
Maul
Let's say I've been traveling the world. I've a million different chicks. I cannot find love anywhere. I run into somebody. We meet, we are compatible. I have never had this feeling with somebody else. They feel like a best friend. This feels like a future. But. But a bunch of dudes I don't give a about have heard she did some. I'm supposed to care about y' all or should I go love the woman that I'm compatible with?
Heineken
You gotta do your scouting report.
Randy
But you don't love her.
Maul
I'm not saying you don't.
Randy
Let's be real. You gotta do. You gotta.
Heineken
With no game planning.
Maul
I'm not saying there's not.
Randy
Definitely a lot big screen right here. That's gameplay.
Heineken
In order to win the super bowl.
Rory
You gotta do your scout.
Maul
I agree.
Rory
That is crazy.
Maul
I agree. What I'm saying. At a certain age, every chick is gonna have a rumor about her.
Heineken
You're right.
Maul
I'm 35 years old and I don't want to date a 22 year old.
Rory
Everybody.
Maul
I want to date somebody in their 30s.
Rory
Everybody.
Heineken
You just can't have Wilt Chamberlain numbers and think I'm gonna give you the same privilege I'm gonna give to somebody.
Rory
But then why get.
Heineken
But Rory gave great points. Sometimes the personalities don't talk about the pussies.
Randy
You don't get married.
Heineken
Yeah.
Randy
I'm not saying I'm not condoning or.
Maul
Go find a virgin, have the most boring life ever cheating.
Randy
I'm saying if he cheated along the way before they got Married, then she should turn.
Rory
But she did, though.
Randy
All right?
Rory
She did mad times, and I'm cool.
Heineken
And that's why he ran out of his chances.
Randy
I'm cool with that. But that doesn't mean. Then I'm gonna just. Just not get the house.
Maul
All right? So. No, you make a fair point there.
Rory
I'm not mad at that.
Randy
You Right, I'm sorry.
Rory
I'm not mad.
Randy
I'm for the crib.
Rory
I understand it. But I just think that, you know, as men, we just at a disadvantage because there's certain things that we just gotta take on the chin and be.
Randy
Like, yeah, but why is it foul if you don't take it on the chin? Like, if Offset's not taking it on the chin and you know for a fact, we be taking a lot of bullshit on the chin that we shouldn't. Shouldn't we salute him for saying, yo, you standing up for doing something else. Like. Like, he just said, yo, bro, I couldn't do it. But on some real. If it was a trendsetter, if it was a woman in that position, we would be saying, girl, get your. Yo, pay her.
Rory
Yeah, but we gotta. I with Offset, but we gotta just keep it real. He fucked with girls. She's cool with some of her friends.
Randy
That mean he can't get a house. That mean he can't get a house.
Rory
Come on.
Maul
Hypothetically. Hypothetically, if your queen, she loane you in your LA house, are you paying the property tax on the house? Because I'm not.
Randy
No. No.
Maul
So you're on Cardi B side.
Rory
There you go.
Heineken
I'm on. I'm on the real side, but you.
Randy
Right.
Rory
I'm just saying. But we gotta look at.
Maul
You think I'm paying a dollar in the house. You cheated on me. Come on.
Heineken
What about us?
Randy
Just sell the house and let's bust it down. There you go.
Rory
I'm sure that's an option.
Randy
I'm cool.
Rory
I'm sure that's an option.
Randy
I'm always. I'm fit.
Rory
I think that that's. I think that that's probably. But I think that's not to bring. But. But to bring it back to Cartertown. I think that's probably what she's in the process of doing. Like, you know what? Let's just sell the property. Like, you know, and they want to split it down.
Randy
That's all this.
Rory
Yeah, I think that's.
Heineken
Do I want Cardi B to go through all of this? No.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
I don't want to offset nobody, but it's just a factor of life. I've been in the house for a fucking year and six months, sulking, but just working.
Rory
Listen, I love I What I've said, but we gotta remember he's the reason they're getting divorced.
Heineken
Really?
Maul
Cardi took some accountability.
Randy
I didn't know that.
Maul
Yeah, she took some accountability.
Rory
Did you listen to the album?
Randy
I thought I heard Cardi say when Takeoff had passed away, she should have been a little more sensitive. Sensitive and understanding to what he was going through as a person and shit. And she said she was focused on her music that could push a away. And when get pushed away, what do we do? We go looking for comfort in other women. That's what we do.
Maul
Women with a pass.
Randy
Whether. Whether some women with a pass thoughts are good for you. You gotta know how to. You gotta know how to work.
Rory
Because it's being alleged that.
Heineken
That what's up?
Rory
Offset slept with alleged sweetie, which is Quavo's ex.
Randy
Alleged.
Rory
Allegedly.
Randy
Yeah.
Rory
Y' all cool with that? Like, you cool if. If Heineken. If he smash you?
Randy
I'm not cool, and I wouldn't do that. But like y' all said, that's allegedly. We don't know if that happened and if that. No, nobody ever confirmed. Nobody confirmed none of that. Did they? Did anybody?
Maul
Nobody confirmed anything on the Cardi side either. And we. We taking all that for fact.
Randy
Cardi's out here talking about the house in the car. What we talking about?
Maul
She on live. Just talking. We don't know.
Rory
One thing. One thing I could. I could. I could. I could. I take from Cardi is I don't.
Heineken
Think she's a liar.
Maul
No, I don't think she's a liar either. I agree. I'm just saying that one sentence.
Rory
She wear her. Whether it look good on her or don't like she tasty like it is.
Maul
But that one sentence of, hey, it's a property and taxes. I think there's more to the story is all I'm saying.
Randy
Say, yeah, that's.
Maul
She's not a liar. I'm just saying there's more.
Heineken
I don't think there's ever been a point. I'm like, she's capping.
Maul
We not one of those people.
Randy
Yeah, she's unbelievably transparent.
Rory
So I with. So let's. Let's talk about. Let's get to the music, though. Oh, let's get to the album. The album's out. We had to wait seven, eight years.
Randy
You love it.
Rory
It's some. I'm not going to say I love it. Hold on. This is what. This is. What, do they try to hit you.
Maul
In the corner.
Rory
Corner and get you to say some, bro, you. I'm way too soft for that. You thought I was gonna take that bait? Like, we not doing that. No, listen. So I will say this. I will say this. No, listen, I will say this. I will say this. It's a couple joints on there I like. I don't think we had to wait seven, eight years. But I'm not mad because she put a lot of the content and that she's gone through in the past seven, eight years in the music, which I gotta respect. Like, I respect her putting it in the music versus going on live and going through all that. If you a artist, put it in the music, let us get it like that. So I respect that part of. It's a couple records on there, though, that I. That I really with, though.
Randy
I don't think it took seven, eight years. Because all that thing is just the Partisan Fontaine thing. I don't know.
Heineken
I don't give enough credit to that.
Rory
Well, let's not do that, because we did that. And they trying to say, oh, we're saying Cardi don't write her shit.
Randy
And this down, the third Partisan Fontaine is credited on, like, 17 of the 23 songs.
Rory
Yeah. No, no, no, listen, we're on. We align. I'm just saying let's not make it. Let' frame it. Like.
Heineken
No, it's not about writing. We talking about chemistry.
Randy
Yeah, that's what I was gonna get. Yeah. Like, whatever happened when I guess she married offsetting them. And then Partisan wasn't doing the same amount of creative work with her. I don't know what happened, but you could kind of tell in the music that certain people just have that vibe with each other.
Rory
So Party might be the messiest in the industry.
Randy
Why you killing?
Rory
No, I fuck with. That's my nigga. I fuck with him. But you gotta understand, he's been in. He's been writing for a lot of these female MCs.
Randy
Okay, okay.
Maul
It sounds like a hard work.
Rory
No? Which means he's privy to certain information. He's in the studio having conversation with these women. He knows about all of this shit that's going on.
Randy
Yeah, but why you think he's so messy? Cause he's helping her write about the other stuff.
Rory
Come on, fam.
Randy
But isn't Cardi B right? Maybe Cardi B wrote that part.
Rory
Yeah, the diarrhea beer.
Randy
I'm going say, I think that's party, man. Maybe. Maybe Cardi B wrote that part. You know what I'm saying? We gonna give her credit. Every subject matter she's credited on the song.
Maul
He may just clean up.
Rory
I'm just saying if she. If he's having conversations in the studio and Cardi's saying things about these other.
Randy
Rap chicks, you gotta.
Rory
He's sitting there like.
Randy
You gotta understand that Cardi B is from the beginning with Party.
Rory
No, for sure.
Heineken
Even before the music.
Rory
I think that he's. I think Partisan is severely underrated.
Heineken
Agreed.
Rory
His pen, even as an artist, like, even his own.
Randy
Never. Some people just, you know. You know, the inside of the music business. If they don't deem you as the one that was gonna go shine. And I said this a long time ago. This was before we. People even know about us. I said it wasn't gonna be in the record label's best interest to make Partisan Fontaine big at that time, because they didn't know she was gonna marry off set and not use Partisan Fontaine. They needed his fucking pen.
Heineken
So let's slow his shit up.
Randy
If I make this nigga Partisan Fontaine big, I'm not gonna get another Cardi B album. And she's the real meal ticket if he goes and sells a million records. So what? She's doing diamond and she's all over the world. We're making money off of her when she don't even put records out. So we need to slow this Partisan font. That's what I think. Honestly, hurt him because the record that he had and chicks like this nigga. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Heineken
He got it.
Randy
If he throw a nigga throw a Partisan Fontaine party, it's nothing but broads in there. So I'm like, if all these broads like him, that means he has an audience. They're not gonna push his record like, wherever he's really gonna go.
Rory
But his strength is obviously his pen. And I don't know. And I don't know if he's. Because a lot of these guys that are talented songwriters, a lot of them really don't wanna be stars. They don't wanna be famous. They rather be like, yo, listen, I'm eating off of all of this music I'm writing, all of these artists I'm working with, I go outside, and most of the time, people have no idea who I am. That's the cheat code.
Randy
Well, I can't find those guys' cause everybody I know wanna get on the damn stage and all that and wanna be in Front of the camera all the time. And then.
Rory
Well, that's because people, rather a lot of people, human nature, they want attention. But when you're really talented and you really get in the industry and you really see how this shit goes, you, like, I could avoid all this bullshit with being an artist and just be a writer, a songwriter, still make a shit ton of money. I travel the world. I look better than all these other artists.
Randy
Old thinking more.
Rory
Because that's not old thinking.
Randy
No, no, no, no. It's that old thinking. Because that's how I thought. Right?
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
But now when we have the singer.
Heineken
Songwriters come, Eric Bellinger told us, like, I'd rather be on the stage.
Randy
Todd Dollar Sign was like, nah, nah, I'd rather be on the stage. It's more lucrative for me.
Rory
We had Bryson on, and he said the opposite.
Maul
Been like that we see with Leon Thomas.
Randy
I like to hear that Bryson would say that, because I was like, I thought the money was in the publishing, for real. I didn't think everybody wanted to get on the stage and have to travel.
Heineken
But you heard what Eric said. Eric Bellinger said, yeah, you can be a writer and get the money coming in, but the perks that you get, being a visible face will allow you to keep things coming in.
Rory
That's ego.
Heineken
I mean, is it.
Randy
We.
Heineken
We're in a different time now.
Rory
Yeah, but that's ego.
Maul
Artist.
Rory
When you want to be. No, absolutely. That's why it's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing.
Maul
As an artist, ego can be in a positive way.
Rory
You got to take that and fuel that. To be a star, you got to have some type of ego.
Randy
You think so?
Heineken
Because I agree with that.
Randy
I'm gonna take. I'm gonna. I'm gonna throw myself in the ring, Right? Maybe it's my ego. I don't know. But when I was a manager, I made good money and it was cool. You know what I'm saying? I managed people, made money, did things. But. But when he introduced me to this, being in front of this camera is different. The money I make is different.
Rory
But do you enjoy it because of the money you make, or do you enjoy it?
Randy
No, I enjoy. What happened to me was I stepped in and started to enjoy it. And then I was like, yo, yo, I enjoy this shit so much. Yo, we gotta figure out how I can make some money off of this shit. Cause I was like, yo, I love this shit. I was leaving. I was like, yo, it make me feel good.
Rory
But you a shit talker. You enjoy talking shit.
Randy
But I didn't. I didn't know, like, bro, I was talking to this nigga on the phone. I didn't know nothing about pot. I don't watch content now. That's why, really, when y' all was. I came over here, I said, is this the set? Cause I don't even be. I don't know. So I just enjoy being able to fucking just pick people's brains. It came from being on a relationship show.
Rory
Okay.
Randy
That helped me see that I was good. And then they would kind of marveled at the fact that I could come off the top of the dome. Like, they never show me cue cards. They never tell me topics. I really just. I just want to tell you straight up, this is how I feel. And they was calling me, like, natural. That was their joke. Like, this niggas is natural. And then when we got on Mav show, that was a whole other type of thing. I didn't know people wanted music knowledge. Oh, of course I didn't know that.
Rory
Absolutely.
Randy
So when Ghost, when they was getting me drunk, and to be honest, Ghost would be the one that would be messing with me from behind the camera. So that's where all my biggest stuff would come from, would be me going back and forth with Ghosts. Really?
Rory
But you never. You never had a passion to be in front of the camera.
Randy
Never.
Maul
Okay, but I was. When we had mech on here, it was a couple months ago, at the end of the episode, we were talking about this. This very topic and why. I think all of us who never had a goal to be on camera, why we've been successful in podcasting, is because we were behind the scenes. And the only thing we ever wanted to have was a perspective.
Randy
Yeah.
Maul
There's a lot of people that just want to get in front of this lens. They don't know why. They don't know what they want to say. They just want to be in front of the camera.
Heineken
What comes with it.
Maul
We have all been behind the scenes before this.
Randy
Yeah.
Maul
Our only goal was perspective. We need to have an opinion to tell the people that are on camera what to do. Now. Now we're on camera, and this is why we've succeeded. This is why we can do long form content. And the people that just want to be on camera can't. Like, they can't do that because they just want to be on the lens. They don't know why. They just want to be seen. That's all they want to do. We have perspective, and that's why this Actually works Perspective now, I think with people like Todd Alison on great writer has perspective, also wants to be a star. That's the perfect package. There's some artists that just want to be a star and have no perspective. That's why the writers. You see Leon Thomas popping off now was writer first.
Randy
Yeah.
Maul
But wanted to be an artist. Victoria Monet, writer, artist, element. All these people that are now the stars were actually writers first.
Randy
That's.
Maul
That's why they popped when they was 32 years old. Because they weren't just trying to just be on camera. They want a perspective and then also be a star. I'm with you on the party. I think party wanted both. I think they. They pulled back when they realized the resource that he was.
Randy
Yeah.
Maul
Because if he pops off, he not writing no more. He not gonna write over here.
Rory
Why not?
Maul
That's a lot to do, man. If you Dream popped off.
Randy
Popped off.
Heineken
He had.
Randy
But Dream only put out two albums, and that's it. Which were his.
Heineken
Put out more than two albums.
Randy
I'm talking about.
Heineken
I'm saying Beyonce was at her height when Dream put out those albums.
Rory
Listen, when you start writing for Beyonce, you can hang everything else up. Like when B calling you consistently like, yo, I need something. I can hang everything else up. Nothing is like, bro, this is. I'll do this. And I saw something with Dream the other day, and he was saying how he likes doing when he's on the road. He rather do small shows. Like, he don't like doing big shows. He rather do 200, 250. Cap of people that really know his shit.
Randy
Wait, wait. Am I missing something? So Dream would still sell out in arena right now?
Heineken
I don't think so.
Maul
I don't know. I don't want to say. Listen, I don't know about an arena.
Rory
Listen, man, if the Dream announces show, I think he could sell a garden out today.
Heineken
You think he could do 20,000? You think the Dream could sell the Garden?
Rory
If he's saying that he. If he's saying that he's performing his catalog. Dreams catalog is incredible.
Maul
If you give enough time by himself. Yeah, but you know, Dreams bringing people out like, hell, yeah.
Randy
Wow. Wow.
Rory
I saw a boogie still out the garden, and I love a boogie. But I was surprised that he sold out the Garden.
Randy
I think that's a different thing. I think he's current right now. He's younger. He's from New York. I just. Yo, listen. I love yo, listen.
Heineken
The dream is that do it.
Randy
The dream. I just looked at the Dream As a songwriter, producer. Now, when I say Dream had the two albums, I'm thinking about his two key albums, the first one and the second one. That's how I look at. If he put out something else after that. I looked at him as songwriter, producer with Roc Nation, doing next level shit. Like you said, he's dressing different. I write for Beyonce. I'm chilling. I'm getting my residuals from Rock Nation. I'm good.
Rory
Yeah. I ain't got to do nothing.
Randy
That's how I look at him. So for me saying that, I'm like, damn, y' all think he could come off the. Off the bench and just say, yo, I'm coming to the Garden?
Rory
I just think that the Dream's first two, three albums was so successful and so many people still reveal those albums that if he said. Said he was doing a live show in New York City at the Garden, I'm thinking it's enough people in the. In. In the Tri State area that will.
Heineken
Go to that show.
Randy
I'm going to that. I'm going to that concert.
Rory
Of course you are.
Randy
I just don't think that it's 20.
Rory
000 people talking about the Tri State.
Maul
That's gonna land on people from Jersey.
Rory
People from Connecticut, like, they coming to see that show.
Randy
I want to put on a dream show now.
Heineken
I'm just saying Garden is crazy.
Rory
It is, but it's really not, though.
Randy
It is. It is, but it's really not wild, bro. By himself, empty. I was just.
Heineken
I was just with Freddy, and Freddy said the next time he wanted to go to the Garden, that's still, like, if he. Freddie Gibbs, if that's still iffy.
Randy
Like, I'm not Dream, though. You know what I'm saying?
Rory
No, really not selling out the Garden.
Heineken
But I'm not saying by itself, but with, like, him and a couple.
Rory
Oh, yeah, yeah. If it's some other people in that building. But I'm just saying, the Dream is just. To me, first of all, you don't know when he's gonna do a show. So his fan base, if they hear that he's doing a show there, might be inclined, like, yo, we gotta catch him now, because we don't know if he'll ever come back and do a show.
Randy
I'm curious. I need to go see a dream show right now. Yeah, you got me curious right now.
Rory
I saw what he did in SOBS when he was on the.
Maul
That's what I'm looking at now.
Rory
The last he had. I'm talking about his production. That he had in sobs like, like his stage production. I was like, sob's the Garden. I've never. Huh.
Maul
Sob's the Garden is crazy.
Rory
Jump. That's my choice, though.
Maul
No, I know, I know.
Rory
Like, he literally said he would rather. He would never do the Garden, but he literally said he would rather do 250 cap because he would rather have 250 people in one room that really love and know his shit. To make it more intimate, I need.
Randy
To know how much Dream's price is. I wanna do a dream show. If he on that type of town. If you talking about 200 people, I want to get a spot. The whole 500 people dream.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
No, he dropped that price and let me do the dream show.
Rory
I think. I think that that's. I think that that's something just based off his catalog. And then we don't see him live a lot. I think that if he was to announce a show in New York City at the Garden Tri State area, I think shows up and sells that out.
Randy
Wow. For sure.
Maul
I think he'd probably make more money at like a Terminal for five than he would.
Rory
Oh, money. Money is. That's a whole another conversation I'm just talking about. You say 20,000 people at a dream show. I think that the dream could be.
Randy
For me, Terminal 5 is where I.
Heineken
Would put Terminal 5.
Randy
Seems more of a better bet to me. Terminal 5.
Maul
And still he lying.
Randy
Terminal 5 would. Look, you could do three nights.
Rory
He would probably prefer that. Like, personally, he would prefer that. I don't think he wants to do. I don't think he wants to do the arena shitty. I don't think he wants that. He would prefer. Prefer Terminal 5, things like that.
Randy
Let me fund that. You heard me.
Maul
But I mean, to get back on track. You think Dream would rather pull back and just be the writer or the artist, right?
Randy
I think he wants to be the writer. Yeah.
Rory
Yeah, right.
Maul
He did the writer, then he became full artist and went back to writer.
Heineken
It's easy.
Randy
He probably wanted the bag.
Maul
Yeah, I mean, I guess. But Neo too. Neo was a writer first, but Neo.
Randy
Always wanted to be an artist.
Maul
I think the Dreams did too.
Randy
He was in the group too sometimes.
Maul
Frank might have been the only one that I don't think.
Randy
I'm gonna keep it real. He said it right on the show, so I can say it. He was like. When he saw YG get that check, he was like, nah, I wanna be artist. He said he wrote the song, must have produced the song. YG was gracious enough. He Said to put them on the show with him so they could get paid. He said, YG, this out of his own words. YG got 9,000. Gave mustard 400. Gave him his 400. He said, oh, no, I'm gonna become an artist.
Maul
It was funny. I forgot what platform it was. Mustard was talking about when he went from a DJ to a producer. Yeah, they was in LA and he saw a check that. That Ty had got, and he said, nah, fuck this. I'm being a producer.
Randy
See what I'm trying to tell you? That's what happens. And I think that we discount money because I know you're a purist and creativity and all that, but some people just do it for the money. Like when I first got into it, when I was managing, I was. I was a party promoter. I DJed, but I stopped DJing. I couldn't afford to buy the records and all that, so I just stayed party promoting, hooked up with Clue, hooked up with S. I was doing concerts and all that type of stuff. Then I started managing. I started managing the DJs, and I caught a break, came home. Murder Inc. Blase blah, Cory Rooney and all of that. But after I got started swerving and made a nice amount of money and started doing things, I was like, these niggas is assigned. I gotta just make my money.
Rory
Exactly.
Randy
I gotta take my emotion out of this shit. Because what the music was for me, it's not for them. I wish I was in the studio with Tupac to see if he really was loving the music, because these niggas is fake, right?
Rory
Well, a lot of people just chasing the check, man.
Randy
It was. I mean, bro, it was. Damn that 90% of people. I had to get in line. I had to start saying, yo, this is about the money. Because doing great music and great songs, being great beasts, everybody was like, yeah, that's cool. But you gotta be connected. I could get beats from anybody that's like this, right? I got 13 that do great beats and great songs and all the rest of this stuff. So what's gonna make me take your beat then? You gotta learn, like, you gotta help people make money. You gotta be an asset to these people. And I'm like, all right, well, once you do that, then they dickheads. They take long to pay you and do all the rest of this stuff. This shit ain't like it.
Rory
That's industry shit. That's the part that you don't know about until you get in it.
Randy
Then you got in it, and it just started making me say I was I gotta adjust.
Maul
Yeah, yeah.
Randy
In order for me to make my mark, I gotta get some bread.
Rory
That's always the goal.
Randy
I gotta change my mindset. That was the goal to me. But the, like, how these people be so much on the art. See, I'm so against it now because that's how I was. And it blinds.
Rory
What do you mean you're against the art?
Randy
They think the art is everything. That's what I thought it was. I thought that the business, when that.
Rory
Changed, it used to be just all about.
Maul
And the money used to come with that.
Randy
That's. But that's what I'm saying. But even back then, I always says I was a manager. The business was always a factor for me. And people would downplay the business because it was so much. You'd be artistry. You could fire your manager. You could do whatever you want back then, you know, it was the wild, wild west. If you had talent, what it was the wild, wild west. You could be the dopest manager and they fire you for no freaking reason and you never get a shot again. Next time you see that nigga, he's driving a bus and you be like, you was at the Grammys with me two years ago.
Rory
Hey, yeah.
Randy
Am I lying? Yeah, you driving the bus.
Rory
Driving the bus.
Randy
Or you're a postal worker. You doing some wild.
Rory
Some. And. And not to knock driving, but they make great money.
Heineken
No, it's not just saying.
Maul
We had a plan that was going this way.
Rory
We had a plan. We was doing this. And now you are completely did a 360.
Randy
A 360. Now you got a dog at the crib. You move back to South Jamaica, Life is completely different. Yeah, it's quiet. It's quiet over there. You know what I'm saying?

Maul
Have have you spoken to Maya since that clip went viral?
Randy
No. I saw her but didn't say nothing to her.
Maul
Why not?
Rory
What clip was this?
Randy
Because it's, it's a. Because when I was working with her, right, I. I was really young type of, right. And my biggest break was I just asked her not to do something like I have. I had a lot of female talent at the time. I can tell the story right here. I had a lot of female at the time, so I had Yummy at the time. I had big draws at the time. I had Rockwild at the time. I had the Soul Diggers, which is K Mac, who got Coi Leray and Honey Baby. I had him and his brother. I had the Smith brothers. I was managing, I was managing all these different people and I had like a video director, R. Malcolm Jones and all the other type of stuff, right? So with coming with my, when she, when we met, she already knew she wanted me to manage her. So it was like she was coming off the Benny Medina thing and I was trying to make sure I was gonna be able to do this job. So I flew out to California with her and was out there for 10 days with her, you know, figuring it out, going to the studios, seeing the music that she wants to do. Her introducing me to people. And I was like, yo, Maya, I would be like, maya Marie, Maya Marie. Yo, don't tell nobody what I'm doing with you yet, okay? For what I'm saying, I'll be like, yo, just don't tell nobody yet. You know what I'm saying? Let me break it to these girls. Cause I got yummy. We had just signed her deal. They just bounced her check. You know what I'm saying? We was at cash money. We signed with cash money. They bounced the check. They. Yesterday. They wasn't gonna fuck with her no more. We was in limbo. And I didn't want to be like, oh, well, guess what? I'm managing Maya now. You know what I'm saying? Guess what, y'. All. Everybody else is fucked up, but I'm on top of the mountain. Everybody. You know what I'm saying? So I didn't want to come with that, right? So we at the party. We at a party, right? Everybody's stressed out about the. About the cash money thing. Stress, stress, stress, right? And a dude, a songwriter comes in and says, yo, Randy, Yo, I spoke to Maya today, and she told me, you're the man. You're the man I need to go see now. You know, I wrote four records on the last project. I'm like, bro, bro, bro. What are you talking about? Yo, I just spoke to Maya and she said. I'm like, oh, my God. So now everybody's looking at me, right? And I'm like, oh, what is she talking about? That you're the man to go see and you're doing the records and all this other type of stuff. And when I called her, I spazzed out, okay? Like, yo, what the fuck is your problem? Blase, blase, blah. And all I remember about the conversation was your relationship, Randy. What? What? You don't have to talk to me like that. That's all I remember. That's all.
Rory
Well, she was right.
Randy
Definitely. Yeah. That's why I apologize to the thing, okay? She's like, ready, but you don't gotta talk to me like that. I was like, yeah, you saying that, but you gonna cost me my. You know how you young. Yeah. You just getting money and emotional, and you're emotional about everything. That's why I tell. I be like, you gotta take them emotion out. Trust me that I was him. Raise your hand. I was him.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
So when I had to sit down and think about it, I never wanted to mention I Don't even mention her like that. Like he might say something somebody else will mention. I don't mention her because she was so, like, delicate. And that was one of the things, remember I said about rumors and shit. Like people used to say a lot of shit about Maya and none of it was true, right? I found that out later. So when I'm. When I'm managing, I'm thinking I gotta.
Heineken
Put a lot of capping hall of.
Randy
Famers, a lot of niggas in the Capitol hall of Fame. I'm not gonna lie. Niggas was capping right to me about.
Rory
Her not even dating her and all that.
Randy
And nigga, none of it was true, right? And it was. It didn't come from her. It wasn't like she never came to defend her honor to me, ever. There was other niggas like, yo, bro, son, son was mad about boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I'll be like, damn, people really like be on that type of time lying on the female about what they did do.
Rory
That's 95% of the industry.
Randy
So if people were saying this and there rappers that I know and that around me like, yo, son, you boom, boom, boom. So I'm thinking in my mind, this is the dumb Rory that we just talked about. How dudes would be thinking, I'm doing her a favor.
Rory
That's crazy.
Randy
These, these, these is talking about her. These is talking about her. I'm doing this, I'm doing that. She should be thankful that I'm not thinking, I'm not agreeing with these, right? And that's why my attitude was like.
Rory
Yeah, so you never had that conversation with her.
Randy
Like, we, we tried. I saw again after we did that, we saw again and we tried to go to the studio. Cuz my. My relationship was a creative business relationship with her. Like, I'm good at picking records and knowing what should be written and who should write it and stuff like that. And we just tried. And she was like, I just don't feel comfortable because you screamed at me. Because she was like, I thought that you would. I thought that she thought that, that Randy, that was that tiger that was doing that, that was gonna be hers.
Rory
Got you.
Randy
That I could unleash that you're here to protect me.
Rory
Got you. Okay.
Randy
And I didn't understand that.
Rory
That makes sense.
Randy
Yo, you. I want you to be that way.
Rory
But not to me. For me, for me, me got you. That makes sense.
Randy
And that's why when I went on the camera, I got apologized because she was the Nicest person to me.
Maul
Yeah.
Randy
I mean, the artist.
Heineken
But sometimes you got to know how to use a grenade properly. No, and listen, and listen.
Randy
She shouldn't have told her.
Heineken
She should have told. So when you hold a grenade for too long, you can't be mad that the weapon you use to blow up the world. Take your fingers off a little bit.
Randy
Shouldn't have told him. But I'm different. And you know that. With my people that I'm close to, she would think I could do whatever.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
Because I give everybody that leeway. That's why you fuck with me. Right? Cause you do whatever the fuck you want to do, and nobody's gonna stop you. Right.
Rory
So what's y' all relationship like now? You just have a cool.
Randy
Whenever we see each other. But for some reason, I'm gonna be honest. When I saw her at the shit, I was right after that clip went viral. And I ain't think. I didn't want her to think I did that and then saw her.
Maul
Okay, got you.
Randy
Okay. That's why she was right there. Literally.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
And she didn't see me. She was turning her head and people was calling her, and they was looking at me, and I was like, I'm not gonna say nothing to her. And I was like. Because if she saw that clip, which I know she did.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
Oh, Randy did that shit. Cause he was gonna see me on Sunday.
Rory
Oh, that's nasty. Think like that. You like. I don't even want this person to think that my mind is that calculated.
Randy
I was like, you know what? If it's meant to be, I see it. We. We cool. I saw it in la. We cool. But of course, we not gonna be like we was.
Maul
Yeah, yeah.
Randy
You know what I'm saying?
Rory
It's different, but it's still love that. Yeah, it still loved it. Yeah.
Maul
Where. Where y' all at with this. This dame cam and 50 situation? That. That every other day is greatest show on the Internet.
Rory
I hate it though, man.
Heineken
I mean, for. I'm with you for all the reasons. Yes. For business reasons, it's terrible. For friendship reasons. It's terrible for. For the culture of hip hop. They're like, what the is wrong with these dudes? These dudes is all late 40s just bickering about.
Rory
We can have disagreements. My thing is, we can have disagreements, but when you're of a certain caliber, caliber, demographic, time, age, status, I just think it's certain shit you just can't fall into. Like, I just think that we can't expect the younger Dudes to behave and act a certain way, Especially on the Internet and social media, when you got the elder statesman, the guys that's been in it since before all of this shit even existed. Existed. They're doing the same. Listen, you know what I'm saying?
Maul
I also don't even think the young kids are paying attention to that.
Rory
I think. I'm not saying they're paying attention to it, but we'll all sit here and be like, yo, these young dudes be wilding. They be on the Internet, social media, airing out, doing all. Yo, that's corny. Y' all don't need to do that. But then it's like, okay, dudes that's older than us is doing the same, but more you.
Heineken
You've been around Damon. Cam, I've spent time with Fifth. This is not in their character. Too bad.
Randy
Down.
Heineken
They didn't make all these millions of dollars. Lost it and make millions again by just backing down. So you got an animal in Dame dash, Cameron and 50 Cent. Remember, Cam and 50 were going at it for a little bit. Ain't no. This ain't stopping.
Randy
It ain't.
Rory
I think this is all part of. Of 50s plan.
Maul
Oh, no. Queen.
Rory
He's had.
Maul
He's had a hand. He's had a hand.
Rory
He broke up Dipset. He's had a hand in that 100%. Now he's having a hand in breaking. Breaking up Cam and Dame's relationship.
Randy
I can't believe I'm not gonna say nothing about them because everybody just spit venom. And I've been able to stay out of harm's way as much as I talk.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
I cannot believe that Cam and Dame are arguing. I can't believe it.
Rory
No, I can believe they're arguing. I can't believe.
Randy
This is what I. This is what I mean. Anybody can argue because we've known each other, we're men now, and all that. I'm talking about, like, I can't believe it.
Heineken
The bickering back and forth at that level.
Randy
I can't believe it. In the fake lawsuit. And I'm not doing the lawsuit. I'm like, I can't believe that this is going on. Not from the story, because I don't. Like, I'm not bringing up nobody's parents. But not from the story about how they said that Cam got with Rockefeller. After all of that, if that story is true, how does this ever come to. How does this ever even happen?
Rory
But this is. But this is a conversation like, you know, you know, certain people that you have relationships with, and you have those moments where they say or they do some shit, and it always sends a light bulb in your head. And you might. It don't mean nothing in the moment. But then if something happens between y' all 12 years from now, you like, I always saw this in the game.
Randy
And let me say I'm sorry.
Heineken
50 will never, never forget when Dame went on MTV and said, that million dollars ain't nothing you broke. When he got.
Rory
No, no, no, don't get it twisted.
Maul
Dame was right.
Rory
Have been waiting to have a shot to go at Dame and laugh at.
Heineken
No, no, no, no.
Rory
People been waiting for this moment.
Heineken
Fifth remembers all of it.
Rory
Yeah, as he should, dog.
Heineken
He has.
Rory
Let me tell you something. If somebody stands over you and puts nine bullets in you, you're never going to forget anything anybody says about you.
Heineken
So. So when Dame did that video, every time he's waiting and he's relentless. I still tell the story about what he did with Jimmy Henchman when he had. The lawyers right there, had a big meeting, and then the news came up that Henchman is in jail. He stopped all the white people, walked over to me, propped the phone up and went on live and laughed at Jimmy Henchman while conducting a $20 million deal. He loves this street. He's enjoying himself. He can't wait.
Rory
He's waiting for his. His moment to laugh and do that talk.
Heineken
No. Damn, Damon. These are all legendary talkers.
Randy
I mean, who wouldn't wait? But you'll be waiting. But even. Oh, it's only. It's only a couple of people, and y' all know who you are. I don't have a long list. Like. But all this shit talking, even if Dame said that about Fifth, that's laughable stuff to me.
Rory
Some of it is just. It started off, it felt like it was just jokes at first and shit talking, but then it made a complete.
Randy
Left turn because anytime black people start shit talking too much, if you niggas start cracking too many jokes.
Rory
But it's like what I said. It's like what I said. You say something. Because even Cam spoke. When Dane brought up Cam getting punched in his face. Cam said, you've been waiting to get that off. And I know Cam really felt that because he probably been around before and niggas kind of like, is, like, alluding.
Randy
To it about us as our black. Like, I don't even understand why that would even be a factor. That if he did want to say it, if it happened to Cam, if you my man, whether it's on some street shit. And ma was right to punch you in your face. Even if you my man, I'm still going for feel remorse for that situation. Cuz you really my man.
Rory
Yeah, I get it.
Randy
So that's why I'm like. When all of these things come up, I'm like, damn. Nobody was really each other, man, ever.
Heineken
It was just waiting.
Randy
Never.
Rory
Now, see, I don't.
Maul
So I said fifth never, cuz fifth was never there. Now he just laughing, breaking up.
Randy
Man was connected through money, opportunity, or desperation.
Rory
But Cam and Dame's relationship was definitely not just. Just about money.
Randy
Maybe one side of it. It can't be both.
Rory
Now that's a different conversation. That's a different conversation because you could be. You could be moving genuine with people.
Randy
And they moving strategic with you because it has to be a chink in that armor for this to occur. And that's all that I'm saying. Because if we both moving like this more, you know, that's not going to happen. Of course somebody is not moving a certain.
Rory
But you had what you. You've had conversations with friends and family and somebody say something. Even if y' all talking and somebody throws something out there, you like, damn. Like, that was a little like you had your thing. You've been waiting to bust that shot. You understand? Like, you know, you'd be like, I'm one of those.
Heineken
I'll be waiting to bust that.
Rory
And I'm talking about. This happens with family, with friends and business.
Heineken
I got a cousin I'm waiting for. He's gonna catch it.
Rory
He's catching a. I'm saying, like, you holding that, you holding that.
Heineken
No, no. But me, I'm a reactionary. So if you do something, I'll be like, all right, let it go. But if you start abusing it now, an example has to be made.
Rory
Yeah.
Heineken
Because, you know, sometimes.
Rory
But does that mean y' all was ever really cool? Because I don't really hold tabs with my.
Maul
There's just no suppressing the truth.
Randy
That's how I feel. No, it's my. What's your birthday? What's your birthday?
Rory
Mall Friday.
Randy
Oh, that's clean.
Heineken
Gangster Libra.
Randy
Yeah. Okay. That's what I said. I must get a room because we think a lot. Like, I'm not holding tabs neither.
Rory
No, if you my man, out on you. But at the same time, that's come back to hurt me.
Heineken
Oh.
Rory
Not holding tabs because they was holding tabs on me.
Randy
But I bet, I bet. But I bet it also benefited you too?
Rory
Oh, absolutely.
Randy
There you go.
Heineken
You removed the to.
Randy
So yeah, nothing's perfect. Because me, cuz me saying I'm a very giving person, I. I give, give, give, give, give. Right. I don't really get a lot of right. But the times that I get, yeah, it be on time and it be.
Rory
Some crazy, crazy on time every time.
Randy
It be some crazy shit. So I can't say I don't get. It's just that it might not be as much as I give, but because I've been that way, that's how I've met him. That's how I've stayed in clues. Like clues. One of the few people that he'll be like, yo, Randy always would give me whether he had money or not. Make sure he had a birthday gift, taking him to dinner. So my man appreciation, whether I'm getting it or not. Same way with him, same way with Ghost. That's just me. But it does come back to me in different ways. I've been blessed, you know what I'm saying? But it does hurt your heart sometimes?
Rory
Oh, absolutely.
Randy
It gets you stabbed in the back like an Ms. Sometimes. And then it makes you feel so, so different. Because when I. When I bring you into my small circle, I'm giving you a lot of attention and love and affection and money and time. You know what I'm saying? So when you damage that, you don't value me.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
You've been disrespecting me the whole fucking time.
Rory
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Randy
And that's what the part, that's the part that makes me mad over hurt my heart and.
Rory
But that's how I feel about this Cam and Dame shit. I feel like. It's like it hurts to see it because I know that there was real genuine love there. I know that there was real friendship there. And to see it now play out the way it's playing out. And let's just be honest, I feel like it's playing out because people feel Dame is vulnerable. They feel like he's in a position that, you know, he was the man at one point. Now he's not. Now I'm the man. It's a lot of that going on. Like, I don't need you no more. It's a lot of that energy that I don't like because it's like, don't do that. Cause it's always gonna be ups and downs. Just because you up right now your man, or you think he's down, that don't mean start talking crazy to him, shit on him and all of this other thing. Now, granted, not saying that Cam is not right for defending himself and speaking up and talking, because I think he was pushed to a position where he felt like, all right, bro. Like, I got it. I'm a man at the end of the day. Yeah, I'm a man at the end of the day. Like, fuck all of this. Like, dog, you not, like, you talking crazy. Like, so I get that. But when it starts getting too personal, when you start talking about, yo, your son is broke, he was living with this dude.
Randy
See, I don't be this, that, and the third, and all of that.
Rory
But that's what I'm saying. I don't like that because, again, as black. Yeah, my wigger, he understand. We understand. We understand that when you cross a.
Heineken
Certain line, point of no return.
Rory
Now things are in danger of going a whole nother route.
Randy
We start bringing the kids involved.
Rory
Now we. Now we flirting with things going a whole different route.
Randy
I might start thinking.
Rory
And we've seen this before. We've seen that story. That's part of our DNA growing up. Somebody say something with. Now it's beef. They shooting over here. He got cut this that. Like, we seen it start from, like, yo, where that's just. Yo, he just said something one day, and they been beefing for 15 years behind that. Like, what? So now you talking about doing that on social media, where now the world is watching this shit.
Randy
But didn't Dame come out and say he trying to squash the beef?
Rory
Yeah, but you don't have leverage to squash the beef.
Maul
It's past that.
Rory
That's because in order to squash a beef, it takes two. Like, I got to be willing to squash it, too. Now, you said something about my family or something about something that I didn't want, you know, didn't think you would ever say publicly. Now I'm like, nah, that I don't want that apology.
Randy
I heard about the punch in the face. Now, I don't be knowing, but we all know.
Rory
It's a thing that we all know. But it's like every get punching, it happens. But now when you use that, when you try to weaponize that, when we talking now, I'm looking at you like. Like you've been waiting to get that off, man.
Heineken
Privately, we know this, man. These dudes behind the scenes are watching the phone, and they're waiting for a mishap. They can play in front of the camera all day. I don't be caring. Fifth is just waiting for Dame's teeth to fall out Again.
Rory
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Heineken
You know, Cam. Dame is waiting for Cam to say, yo, I'm broke right now. I lost my revolt deal not to wish any of that. These dudes.
Randy
I don't.
Rory
That's nasty, though.
Heineken
No, no.
Rory
When you sitting around waiting for that, that's nasty.
Maul
That's not waiting.
Heineken
No, no, no.
Randy
He's waiting.
Rory
He's not waiting.
Maul
He can't do.
Heineken
That.
Maul
He's not waiting, but he can't wait. The moment Ross's name hit the headline. He's not waiting, but he can't wait.
Heineken
The only reason 5th won't upload a video is if he gets the shit distracted. There was a person he was going to upload a video about. He was going to wreck their career. And the only reason he didn't upload it because Mayno came up then and he forgot to press send. And I said, yo, you think Fifth gonna upload that? They said he got a hundred videos. About a hundred he never uploaded. He just. He just be forgetting. If he come back to it, he'll press upload.
Rory
That's crazy.
Heineken
He has a hundred videos. I don't even want to say the names.
Randy
I don't. I'm glad. I don't know what nobody got. I want to be in the middle. I got my own.
Rory
Yeah, whatever y' all doing, Salute. I'm happy for you.
Randy
I just be like. I told him. I said, I don't even. I. I grew up with this, okay? I said, I don't even want to mention 50 cent name on Bag Fuel ever. Yeah, I feel you. Okay? I done told niggas all types of stories. And when I was a kid at 50. Is this true? Is this true? Yeah, it's true. But I don't even want that shit. Cause he might just wake up one day and say, why is Randy even saying this?
Rory
Yeah, yeah.
Maul
So I'm gonna stay out that nigga.
Randy
Way, stay out that way.
Heineken
And he don't stop.
Randy
You gotta follow Cameron. I don't talk about Cameron. They ask me questions about Jim Jones. I don't know about Jim Jones and Kim Ron. Leave me out the middle of this. Who else they beefing with? Dame Dash? I say a little bit of shit. I said, I think he. I said on Bag Fuel, I said, I think he's getting slandered. And people say, why you getting slandered? Said. I say, but Jay Z doesn't have to slander him. Jay Z's just everybody's favorite. You know what I'm saying? He has the leverage so Jesus, just sit back and just watch everybody just do what he's doing. He doesn't even have to want y' all to do it. But your fans, it's like when you got a bunch of gang members and somebody wants to go make a. You know, they want to get close to you, so they want to go make a point. He got a. A billion gang members. That's like, oh, if his thing dash is trash, it's this on it. So it's like, what. What are you gonna get from that?
Rory
Yo?
Randy
Yeah, you out here defending yourself all day. It's like, Drake, I. I would have said, yo, Drake, I'm don't even engage in this no more. Like, yo, just go do what you decided to do later. You just put songs out, people still like your records. A battle doesn't mean nothing. I said. I said, if he just go do the songs. And I. I said on the show, I said, the industry isn't as entertaining. So since the takedown of Drake, Think about that.
Heineken
It's not boring, it's not entertaining.
Randy
That's all that I'm saying. When he was rolling around, Chris Brown's concert had all the bitches. I'm not gonna lie. Right? But when Drake was in town, it was like a hysteria. It was a thing going on in New York. It was five days and parties here and fashion here and kickstarts over here. That's how it was going. I don't know what it is about him and the people he brings or who rocks with him, him, but he had a different type of excitement to the game.
Heineken
And since he been chilling, shit been boring. Hip hop's been boring.
Randy
And now they gonna kill you for that.
Heineken
They can, but it's the truth.
Randy
We said it too, but it's.
Heineken
It's.
Randy
It has been. Yeah. It's just the truth.
Rory
Why do you say it's been boring?
Randy
Nobody's nobody who's bringing the excitement. The music just isn't in a great record. What made our exciting was the personality, the feeling that you got when they was in public. When you saw dudes coaching at the Rucker, Drake was one of the few people he's outside. Yeah.
Maul
One of the most successful superstars of all time.
Heineken
With a plastic bin, he's outside Bundles of money. He didn't even break the seal. He just threw the bundles.
Randy
I rock with Kendrick. I do. I think he's a talent rapper with an artist. He's not outside. Nobody's outside. Like, nobody.
Maul
But you guys are from an outside era.
Randy
All Right.
Maul
These. These kids are inside.
Heineken
Cardi B's rollout has been about.
Randy
And they're looking at it like it's outside.
Heineken
And that's standard. Regular.
Rory
She's doing the standard.
Maul
I mean, the same thing with the clips. I loved their rollout, but it was a very. Like, they just did what Eddie would have done before.
Heineken
And the kids thought it was magical.
Randy
Because they watched it from their basement a little bit.
Maul
They weren't outside. They watched it. Artist be outside.
Randy
The clips was outside. They. They was accessible. They did shit downtown and normally had outside concerts and they were popping up over here. It gave you the air of accessibility. Just because they decided to come outside and make their face scene. If you can reach out and touch somebody. If Nicki Minaj was outside, and I'm not talking about being in the clubs, I'm just talking about if we saw her somewhere beside an award show. That's something like. Like that. Hysteria would be different if she stood.
Maul
Up on top of a truck in soho. Oh, yeah. It would shut the whole city down.
Randy
But you know what it would do? It would bring excitement to hip hop.
Maul
I agree.
Randy
And this is what we don't have people doing. Remember when Jay Z spent the whole summer driving around New York in the Wrangler? Yep. Everybody talked about that shit. Yeah. Everybody went to Bob Wranglers. It created something. Oh, HOV is in the city. Nobody's doing that within their cities.
Rory
So. So you don't feel like hip hop has been exciting since Drake?
Randy
Since the battle.
Heineken
Once the battle died down, it's been boring.
Rory
I think we've had moments.
Heineken
We've had good music, such as I said, good music.
Maul
Yeah. It's been good albums.
Randy
I agree there's been some good music, but it's not.
Heineken
It's not.
Randy
Oh, you know, come on, bro.
Maul
No, but I think the clips.
Rory
Exciting. I can't say nothing like they going to kill me. No matter what you think. I know exactly what you're saying.
Randy
Battle.
Maul
The clips rollout was exciting.
Randy
Clips roll out.
Maul
To me, I like the. I think, yeah, that brought a lot. That was probably the most exciting moment this year as far as hip hop went.
Rory
I was.
Randy
And I'm not saying nothing if that's the most exciting moment, like, we got it.
Maul
It's back to. Back to square one of just a. A standard rollout.
Heineken
It's a standard rollout.
Randy
That's it.
Maul
But it worked. And look what the point of a rollout is to work.
Heineken
Think about it. They had to do it.
Randy
All of that. I like Cardi B on the train. Better than that. Yeah. I like Cardi B fake selling the CDs. Like, I'm enjoying that. Yeah. You know what I'm enjoying for hip hop? I'm off tilt. The Commodore skits about the hip hop story. Yeah, I'm enjoying that. Yeah, that's bringing some different flavor to hip hop. I'm looking forward when he, you know what you said?
Heineken
Hip hop lacks creativity.
Randy
Now. Yes. When he puts up the picture saying comments, I'm telling my man, stop playing with me. Drop that. Yeah, see this? That's that. That's excitement. Who else is doing something like that? Yeah, who's the next?
Rory
Who's the next? Because me and Rory talk about it a lot, like, who's the next rap superstar? Like, do we see one on the. On the. On the. You know, like, coming down the.
Heineken
I. I got one.
Randy
Okay, I'm. Let him speak. And I'm. And I'm going.
Heineken
Because of the climate that we're in and how he understands the younger audience and older people gravitate to him. Said he will.
Rory
Okay.
Randy
He could be. It could be. He could be. I'm gonna say I don't know him yet. Whoever is gonna be the next big executive is gonna have the biggest rap. Whoever that person is, whether he's a. A street executive that has money, whether somebody that they gonna give a job, it's just gonna be that person that they believe in. Like n believed in Nelly and Nelly came out of nowhere. Yeah. Somebody who knows how to work the system, who can take it from the studio to the dj, who understands the marketing. Whoever that person is, because they got it. Kendrick and them was doing it over there with SZA and all the rest.
Heineken
Of the Top Dog.
Randy
Top Dog was putting out albums. They got it. Whoever that next person is that gets it can make anybody big bro.
Maul
I was hoping after QC that it would catch on again because there was a break between Murder Inc. Rockefeller, Rough Riders, et cetera. And then when Coach K and P came, it was like, oh, shit, all right. This still exists. Because to me, they should be in the mix with cash money, anything. QC is that. To me, after that, though, it's been quiet on the executive.
Heineken
They don't wanna spend money.
Randy
P had the money. And you gotta remember Coach K had the know how from gz.
Maul
Yeah, gzn.
Randy
So he was in the Def Jam.
Maul
System, but Irv had to know how everything in his. His own thing.
Heineken
We went out to dinner with a big exec and he said, they are afraid to invest in artists, they're holding tight to the money. Right. And what I learned is all these Execs now are 50 and above. And if they take a chance on the wrong artists and get fired out forever. They driving the bus.
Randy
They out forever. Now to their standard. To their standard.
Heineken
Yeah, now but understand if they were 25, they would take the risk because all these executives was taking the risk at 25 that they're not going to take at 50 because they're making all this. They get to swipe the card. How many rappers budgets have been spent on y' all just to go out to dinner to convince you to play a music.
Randy
Yes, we know the deal.
Heineken
We know the deal. We saw a rapper, he has about 5 million followers and his total budget was $3,000.
Randy
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Heineken
And half of that was spent.
Randy
They were just trying to get rid of him.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
You know how they do? They knock your budget down and say.
Maul
Well, it's a write off.
Randy
Yeah, that's it. Let's see if you could do something with the rest of his little. We gonna reforecast.
Heineken
So all these older ex, they're not.
Maul
Taking the risk or they're putting their son in charge of labels that aren't.
Heineken
Come on.
Maul
Wait, I'm sorry. Can we not call Spade? I'm not taking away. I'm not. I'm not taking away what Elliot Grange did with 69. That was trippy Red. What's the name of their. Their company even I think Ice Spice.
Rory
Was under this too at one point as well.
Heineken
Yes.
Maul
I'm not taking away from somebody that was the son of Lucian Grange. But he still, he still he, he put his little work in. That's what's happening. They're giving him the position Atlantic, which now we have the Granges.
Rory
And wouldn't you do that with your daughter?
Maul
Say it again.
Heineken
Wouldn't you do that with your daughter?
Maul
Oh no. I think nepotism is a good thing.
Heineken
Oh, me too.
Maul
Yeah.
Rory
I love it. I support nepotism.
Heineken
Me too.
Rory
Sure.
Maul
And I'm not.
Heineken
He does it though.
Rory
You don't support nepotism.
Randy
You got to be good.
Maul
Yeah. And I'm saying Elliot did his job.
Randy
But you got to be.
Maul
But I'm saying the power play of instead of, of empowering someone like Coach kmp now instead I'm going to take my son. That was under the universal which I'm. I own. I'm Sir Lucian Gr. How many sirs are there? He knighted by the queen.
Heineken
Sean Connery was the last one.
Maul
And if I'M battling between Sony and Warner and I have Universal now. My son is at the head of the biggest.
Heineken
They own 66% of it.
Maul
That's what's going on. They're not going to give somebody like Coach K and P whatever the new. The new version of that is going to be. No, I'm just going to move my family around the. The three majors.
Randy
The new version is going to be, like I said, it's going to be off the street or it's going to be from one of those labels that's not affiliated with them that needs it. They only come get the black shit when they need it.
Heineken
Yeah. When they need that street energy, they.
Randy
Know niggas is gonna buy it, they gonna support it, they're gonna rally behind it and they know it. They just gonna wait and wait and wait. Like they trying to bring the singers back right now. That's what they trying to do. They try to take this shit all the way around. But whoever has that, who understands the discretionary fund, who has the motherfucking hedge fund, dude, and understands the game.
Heineken
And I think record labels going to start really signing and publicly podcasters and.
Randy
Streamers supposed to do that.
Heineken
They're not saying it publicly.
Randy
They been. Was supposed to start doing it publicly.
Heineken
But after we've seen the money that spot podcasters are making on Spotify, which is way more than rappers. I. It's going to take about another five years publicly.
Maul
Sony publicly has a podcast division now.
Heineken
People don't really know that they need a rollout of saying we signed this to Warner Records.
Maul
We signed. It's because a lot of. A lot of podcasters turn down those. Those deals from majors. Yeah, I'm sure we're not the only ones that have been approached by that. I'm not saying a secret or like some reveal. Now everybody's been approached by those. Everyone just turns it down because it's just not really worth it.
Randy
Like, no worry.
Maul
Now, Ma, I know you're looking for a phone plan right now and I'm going to bet you know you have $25 in your pocket.
Rory
You got a little cash on me.
Maul
Just a little bit. But I mean, if you want a phone plan and only want to pay $25 a month for unlimited talk text data, I feel like you should go with Boost.
Rory
I knew you was going to say that. I had a feeling.
Maul
I don't think you thought that.
Rory
No, I knew you were going to.
Maul
Say because you don't know they have no price hikes.
Randy
I knew it.
Rory
I knew I was about to say.
Maul
That you don't know what forever is.
Rory

Maul
Nothing against them. It's just like, what?
Rory
We're not a priority. What's your relationship with Math like?
Randy
We don't have a relationship.
Rory
No, Because I saw y' all ran into him. I think it was Yee.
Heineken
We ran into him, however, but it seemed like.
Rory
It seemed like. It seemed like it wasn't. No negative. It seemed like it was like, you.
Randy
Know, it was him and Heineken.
Heineken
The friends go back like 08.
Rory
But why you did that? See, see, I know what that. I know what that move is. Why you just cut it off was like, nah, that's his man. Because that's basically what you said.
Heineken
That's the truth.
Rory
So you. So you don't have a relationship with him?
Randy
Nah. Before I got on the show, I tell everybody I only knew Math in nine months.
Rory
Okay.
Maul
Okay.
Rory
All right, gotcha.
Randy
And then. And then we was off the show.
Rory
Space. What's your relationship relationship like with him?
Heineken
He just spoke to him the other day.
Randy
And the other day it was been.
Heineken
A month or so since I spoke.
Randy
To him, but I thought it was all right. But then people tell me otherwise when I speak to them, they'd be like, well, how's your relationship, man? Like, I ain't got no problem with math. I don't. So. Oh, well, I heard he still got a problem. I'm like, I don't know what y' all hearing, bro.
Heineken
Yeah, we haven't been on the show for three years.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
I'm pretty black, bro. I'm just cool.
Heineken
And it don't bend benefit. The conflict is good for YouTube, but business wise, it don't make sense.
Randy
Worked on our page. Yeah, that's it.
Heineken
It's great for YouTube. Oh, good money.
Randy
I'm not doing no work. I'm not doing no work with. I'm not looking backwards. I feel you. I'm not doing no work with anybody.
Heineken
That I was once doing work with.
Randy
That didn't value my work. He's not the only one. There's other people that I work with that didn't value me or value my work.
Heineken
I'm just looking forward to seeing him in the shop with him. Mecca and Gab murder again.
Maul
Yeah. Is that going to happen again?
Heineken
That ain't up to me.
Maul
No, I know that, but he talking.
Randy
He. Look, I don't know what looking forward to, what bad f doing the they doing.
Heineken
I like seeing everybody win and everybody consolidate.
Rory
I don't see. I really don't be knowing. No. Like, Rory. Y' all don't understand how much Rory has to put me on to what's happening.
Randy
That's my roaring.
Rory
I don't pay attention. These people is doing out here. Rory be texting me in the middle of night. Yo, you saw this? Nah, but thanks. Like, I don't be knowing what these dudes.
Randy
He DMS me. Yeah.
Rory
I don't know.
Heineken
It don't like all that back and forth, man. I. I just.
Maul
It's kind of a back and forth. It's just more so understanding what's going on in our.
Heineken
No, what I'm saying is, from a business standpoint, it hurts us in totality in the space as creators. Just like how you said the Dame Cam and 50 thing. That's the same with this. It's entertaining, but business wise people look at that optically, it can wreck your negotiating power. People might be like, I don't like the way these guys are moving. So it only works for us who are doing this form of content to really thrive. So if somebody's like, yo, this show ain't doing good right now, that don't help us.
Randy
Right?
Heineken
Because they're gonna be like, oh, they're the same type of show. Let's give them all the same baseline money.
Rory
That's how I look.
Heineken
Look at.
Maul
I'm like, look how easy shows could just drop in. Yeah, you make a great point.
Randy
Yeah.
Maul
Yeah.
Randy
Why you think so many shows are tailing off like they ain't so many. There was a podcast boom once upon a time, and now it's. It's. It's not the same no more.
Maul
It's no different than the mixtape boom. The we're all starting. Our T shirt brand boom is done.
Randy
Is it?
Heineken
It's done.
Rory
Every day I turn around a got a pot.
Randy
Nah, they be coming and going. How would D.J. throw something out? He's gonna try to do it. There's nobody potting, I think, because the camp, it costs money now. You know what I'm saying? Before, this is. It was just fun and games, but now they realize you gotta have real cameras. You gotta have. If you don't have a space ghost, you gotta have the people that you got. You got your own space ghost. It's hard to find these niggas.
Maul
That's a fact.
Randy
Yeah, they are the most difficult motherfuckers. I put up so much shit with Space Ghost. This nigga goes on the road for 38 days, for three days, and I'll be pissed, but I'll be like, what am I going to do? Yeah, nobody can do the job. So what it is, let's go to the studio. Heineken, we going to pay for this and we going to get them to send the to space goes. Because I can't even have. I can't. I don't want Nobody touching my 100% right.
Rory
That is the only person that is allowed touch anything that I'm on the camera with.
Randy
Touch my. Yo, when they film this, yo, when we go play that like Heineken. What? Because I don't know. What is this? Why are they doing that?
Heineken
No, no. So let me be careful with my words. Please don't say he's been spoiled. So everything he's been since he's been in the podcast space, he's, you know, he's jumped the broom.
Rory
Yeah.
Heineken
So when he gets back to what it really is, he's like, why are they doing. I'm like, yo, chill, bro.
Randy
I'll be like, what the. I'll be saying, yo, he says it out loud. I'm like, yo, why the is it taking so long, bro? Yeah, yo, bro, you know, I got this much time to be here, bro. Like, what the is they problem? Yeah. I'm like, yo, but he'd be like, space, yo, that you not don't this that you have.
Rory
When you have your team and y'.
Heineken
All know how to work, you got your man right here. Yeah, I know. He's. He's not a normal.
Rory
No.
Heineken
So Esso's used to that. That's his baseline face.
Randy
Can go home right now and cut my up and post my up tonight.
Rory
Yeah, same.
Randy
So when be telling me you need how long to send me a clip no, you're fired.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
You're never coming back ever again. Ghost be trying to help me have your give him another chance so he can be like, no. You see how my look fuzzy? You see how my is off? Hell, no.
Maul
But also.
Rory
But.
Maul
But people like space and impeach. They understand the podcast genre and the fans, so they're going to cut it up. That it's going to be effective. Whereas somebody that could just control this camera and know how to edit, that doesn't. That doesn't matter. They know our fans, and they know what's going to work and how it should be cut up, what it should look like.
Heineken
That's the first thing I said to you at the pool party. I said, y thumbnail games is out of here.
Maul
God. Right there.
Heineken
And I be mad in a good way. I'm like, I can't bite the message. I say, game is crazy, bro. This is top tier.
Randy
Yeah.
Heineken
And that's part of, you know, being that, too.
Randy
I like. I like the attention to detail that I have. Y' all got a different type. I wish we was like that. We don't have that attention to detail. When we get that extra attention to detail, we. We gonna go up.
Rory
Yeah, but I mean, we. We. We supported y' all on here. We said that when the complex list came out, we. We definitely thought that y' all should have been on a complex.
Heineken
I weaponized that clip.
Randy
Yeah.
Heineken
I got thoughts off of that. I sent it to other label heads. I said, he's like, why you doing that? They gonna give us more money.
Maul
He said, better send it out.
Rory
No, no, but, but, but me and Rory talk about it a lot. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, even though we don't, we respect the complex list because, you know, they're reputable platform, and they took time to put that together. But, you know, we definitely felt like they got it wrong. While y' all not being on the list, it was some guys on there that was questionable. Yeah.
Maul
No way.
Rory
But Bag Fuel. Yeah. Y' all definitely deserve to be on that complex.
Randy
But like I tell niggas, when you. When we just watching all this, we saw a show that we helped build go to bet, and everybody act like it wasn't off our work.
Rory
Yeah.
Randy
It don't get no worse than that. They little funky list. I know why they left me off they funky list. I say all they list is trash. Okay, so if a dude is saying all your lists is trash, why would you list them on the list?
Rory
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
Randy
So about. I'm talking, telling everybody, like, I'm not really upset as long as my peers and say, yo, these supposed to be on the list? Yeah. Then that's. That's good enough for me. Because they not paying us. They not the ones that. That set us right. That got us coming up here. And all of us. It's really the people that watch and support us and the work that y' all putting in.
Heineken
A homeless ran down on us. A homeless dressed in, like, the KKK outfit, right?
Randy
No, no, it was.
Rory
It was York.
Heineken
No, the Israelite out.
Randy
The Israelite.
Maul
Dude, that's totally different.
Rory
That's a way different thing.
Heineken
White with a little bit of blue.
Randy
Yeah, blue in it.
Heineken
He put a little Crip colors to it. And he was like, yo, can. Can. Can I get a dollar? And, you know, nobody carry cash, right? And he like, all them likes I give you. And all them comments.
Randy
All them likes and comments, I give you a bad feud.
Heineken
I know y' all rich. He's like, mano, give me $3. Give me two.
Randy
He's a. He's a young nigga. Supposed to be Paulus. Yeah.
Rory
Where was that? Harlem. What's that?
Randy
Sixth Avenue.
Heineken
Right by the Trump Tower. Right by the Trump Tower.
Randy
Oh, my God. Yes, we on 6th Avenue. The dude stopped us, and then another dude stopped us. Like, y' all just got home today from 26 years, and everybody's watching you in the jail in Beaumont, Texas. He was like, where? He's like, every jail I go to, I done been to every jail, and niggas is watching y' all niggas in every jail. I'm like, word.
Maul
Is that good or bad?
Randy
So we got more watching us, too. Because that means if you watching in jail, I'm only getting the cop that got your car. Oh, oh, the cop. I don't even want to say.
Heineken
Oh, no, no, listen.
Randy
I don't know if I can say, listen, listen, listen.
Heineken
I could tell the story, right? So they yanked this nigga's car, right?
Randy
Broken my car and everything.
Heineken
Yeah, the Post Police did it. The police took his car.
Randy
Get my car.
Heineken
So it's set up for him to go to jail and get arrested.
Randy
Yeah, I was supposed to go to jail.
Heineken
So we go down there to go get the car. He's like, yo, h. This is the key to the safe.
Randy
Yeah, I'm taking my Rolex.
Heineken
I'm taking my Rolex. I said, all right, cool. I'mma bail you out. This chick looks and says, my boyfriend.
Randy
No, no, you skipped it. She said, I'm trying to verify your identity.
Heineken
Cause they about to put the cuffs.
Randy
On because the nigga said, when she does that, they going to. The cops is going to come out back and they going to arrest you. So I said, I'm getting chills tomorrow. Look at this. I said for my D the whole time I'm like, I don't want to go back to jail again. Like, oh my God. Hepatitis C is all on the wall. It smells like in there. I'm just dreading this, right? So she says, I'm trying to verify your identity. So I'm like, I'm. I'm. I'm Randall Parker. She says, are you from Bag Fuel, cuz? My boyfriend watches you all the time. Is that you? Yeah, yeah, that's me. She like, hold on, let me get my. My boyfriend on FaceTime, do that. Get him on FaceTime, do that. He said, guess who I got here. I got here. I said, my co host is right back there. She said, hey, I'll follow him back and everything. We in the.
Rory
Just let us get this car.
Randy
She said. She said, do you have $377 right now? I said, yes, I do. She said, okay, I'll be right back.
Rory
And got you the car.
Heineken
And she said, we the only people that had our paperwork, right?
Randy
I got my registration there. I just so happened to get this shit offline. No, we see Jerry wondering and printed it out. Because we had Jerry Wonder. They printed out Jerry Wonder Studio. So I took my down there, cuz.
Heineken
The reason why is the cops took his registration, his license, every dude out the car.
Randy
I can tell you why. Afterwards.
Heineken
It was a criminal the cops took.
Randy
It's a felony, boy. I called my detective homeboy. He said, there's nothing I could do for you because I'm not in that department. He said, but they gonna arrest you. Yeah, we got a crackdown going on. You're going to jail. And I was like this crazy. And she said, do you have $377 right now? I said, yeah, yeah.
Rory
Hell yeah, I do.
Randy
Of course I do. She said, okay, well if you paid 377 or something, I can get you your car. I looked at this, I said, when they coming? I'm like, they coming out?
Rory
Yeah, something's too good to be.
Randy
I'm like, they coming up from somewhere. She said, do you mind following me? I said, follow.
Maul
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rory
Nah, nah, we not doing that.
Maul
Living room couch.
Randy
Oh yeah. I can't even say the yard. But yo, she left the whole time I got home I was like, yo, I would be in jail, and I was supposed to fly out to Rochester with Clue and all and go to Houston H town and everything. I was like, oh, I'm all of that.
Rory
Was going.
Heineken
Have you ever did a live show in Houston?
Maul
Couple?
Randy
Yeah. Okay. Fire, Right? Absolutely.
Heineken
Because we ended up going to the Y N Club in Houston.
Maul
Which one?
Randy
Dome.
Maul
Dome.
Heineken
I don't think where they shoot the. The jump shot to get.
Randy
Huh?
Maul
Dome. Okay. Damaris had just came back from. She showed us footage. That place is crazy.
Randy
Dome with me.
Heineken
Yeah.
Randy
Yeah.
Heineken
Yo, and then they let the confetti fly, and then they have your name on a jumbo tribe.
Randy
They brought out the bag.
Heineken
This is mythical.
Randy
Yo, yo, bro. Yo, bro. And they shoot the basketball for the free section. They shoot, yeah.
Heineken
Then if you hit, confetti comes down like you want the shoot.
Randy
It's a hoop in the middle of.
Heineken
The day, bringing bottles and everything.
Maul
Okay, it's time I practice for that. I shot. Dance over to the club.
Randy
If you make the shot, you get a free section.
Maul
I would shoot 100 free throws the week before.
Randy
Yo, and then they get ball awards, too. That if you buy a table and I come in and pay more for the table. Your table gone.
Heineken
Yeah. It'll kick you out the table.
Randy
Off the table. Ball awards.
Rory
Yeah. That's why I don't go out no more.
Maul
No, that's a fight.
Rory
Yeah, I'm not doing all of that. Yeah, I'm not doing.
Maul
They do that at my dispensary now. I do a little putt putt to get, like, 50% off. See, you walk in, if you hit the. The putt putt.
Heineken
Where's this at.
Maul
Bro? Yeah, it's in Jersey City.
Rory
It's too much going on right now.
Maul
No, when you walk in, you gotta do a putt putt and, like, yo, 50 off. I've missed it all three times. I've been there. But, yo, I'm gonna get it one day.
Heineken
I remember there was an episode and they was talking about, like, how you was cheap and you don't like taking girls. And I'm like, that's a false narrative. Because I see more, like, all the lit restaurants.
Rory
I'll be like, I just let. I just let them talk shit about it.
Heineken
I was like, yo, this is a 400 bill right here and more. Just be in the cut.
Randy
Yo, what up? We was eating it, and Maul was in the cut.
Rory
I'm always in the cut, though.
Heineken
Yo. Every lit restaurant, I was like, is.
Randy
That Ma right there?
Heineken
He Stand up real quick.
Rory
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like, yo, I love, keep me love. I do this see you is love. Keep me low. I'm. I'm like, you didn't see me, I didn't see you.
Heineken
I'm like, how your crew saying he don't spend no money? I don't think.
Randy
I'm like, I just.
Rory
I just let people talk. You know what's funny? A girl brought that up to me last weekend. She was like, yo, I heard you was cheap. I was like, where are y' all getting this from? Like, this is affecting my real life now. Like, where are y' all getting this from? I almost caught Rory and cursing my. Like, stop saying it, cuz. This has trickled down to 20. Go to the real world. Whoa.
Maul
First of all, she's not here to defend herself. Damaris is the one that say that you are the person that says it yourself that you don't trick.
Rory
No, I don't trick.
Maul
I know, but I'm saying you people.
Heineken
You don't pay for pussy is what you.
Rory
Yeah, I don't do that, but I'll definitely go being cheap in that.
Randy
I'll pay for pussy, though, with no judgments. Tricking. Tricking is out. Tricking to me is you buying a bitch a bag and all that. Get some pussy. But a nice little working girl, 2, $300 and take her down. That's different, yo.
Rory
That is crazy, yo. Handing a girl 200 and she start getting naked. That's the wildest I've tried, yo.
Randy
I've tried the trip I've tried to.
Rory
Pay for, and I literally could not do it.
Randy
Columbia, come on, my brother.
Rory
N. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that.
Randy
I'm not.
Rory
No Colombia for me.
Maul
Colombia, I would. I would. I would pay for. That'd be my first time now.
Heineken
It cost now to go.
Randy
You pay for pussy neither.
Heineken
This is your line.
Rory
No, no, I'm old as. But now understand.
Randy
Wow.
Rory
I. I tried to do it. I physically got sick.
Heineken
He's a Rockefeller.
Rory
And I'm like. So now we just. She's like, yeah, I just. I just can't like something I just can't.
Randy
Like, I can't pay for.
Rory
My nervous system doesn't like it just before you fuck. But I'm not trying to fuck, though.
Maul
But I've done that before.
Rory
If I go to dinner with a girl.
Randy
You going fuck you now?
Rory
Yes, I do. I do that all the time.
Randy
Get the out of here.
Rory
I go to. I go. I go on dinner. I go on Dinner dates. I go on dinner dates all the time, bro. Why? I'm not looking for.
Maul
To get to know people.
Randy
Wait, hold on. Hick.
Rory
Just to kick it with a. With a cute girl.
Maul
Like, hey, like, I don't know, maybe she's funny.
Randy
Heineken. Heineken. Let me ask a direct question. Do you normally after your regular dinner dates with the nigga nice women.
Rory
Listen, listen, listen. No, no, no.
Maul
Listen, listen, listen, listen.
Rory
Because I've been on. No, no, because I've been on. I've been on dinner dates with women that I've had sex with before, but after that dinner date, we didn't have sex but you.
Heineken
No, no, no.
Randy
I've been on dates smashed already. I've been on dinner dates with smashing on. You don't get the dinner till I smash. You smash first, then you.
Rory
No, no, no. That is crazy. We just going to eat, though.
Maul
Like, God damn.
Rory
Like, I'm just going to eat like you got a smash in order. Like. Nah, I'm not. I don't live.
Randy
I don't even know if I like you to go eat with you or nothing.
Rory
Yeah, that's why you. That's why you go to dinner. You kick it with her.
Randy
You seem like, okay people that you don't know.
Maul
If you like.
Randy
No, if I meet you at dinner and I like you and the sex is trash, I don't like you, so we might as well get to the sex first.
Rory
That is.
Randy
Let's cut off. Let's cut off it all. Trim all the fat.
Rory
Yo, I thought I was crazy.
Randy
That is crazy.
Maul
No, I literally.
Rory
I go to dinner with. With a. With a woman, and it's like, obviously she's attractive. I'm attracted. So we know that. But if she says, yo, I'm going home, got to get. I'm not going to, like, all right, yo, get the out. Like, I'm not going to be mad that I'm not having sex.
Randy
How many times can she say you were mad? No, my question to you.
Rory
What Am I going to dinner? Try, like, in hopes of getting in. Hope so.
Randy
No, I didn't say hope so. You're moving the goal post.
Rory
I'm asking. No, I'mma ask you.
Randy
I'm very direct.
Rory
All right.
Randy
On these supposed dinner dates that you're going down with the cute girls, do you normally smash after the cute date with the girl?
Rory
I'm probably. I'm probably a strong 46% from the field.
Maul
That's a good. That's a high number.
Heineken
That's a great number.
Rory
I'm like 46% from the field.
Randy
Numbers higher.
Heineken
I think you at least 68% usually.
Randy
Like, like niggas usually fucking. Like, like the niggas that's killing water down. Who likes them? No, they would usually wait to see. They want to type of. I'm gonna see who like me. And if she's attractive enough, then I'm gonna go out with her. So you already know you going smash. So the playing field is already kind of rigged.
Rory
Normally, yeah, but I just. I just, I don't. I don't have that.
Randy
You let him off the hook.
Rory
No, it's just like, yo, we had a good time and sounded crazy. If it let him off the hook, that sounded nuts. Like, it's not that mindset. It's literally, we had a good time. And sometimes she might say, yo, I don't want the night to end right now. Like, let's go home. Let's go. Like, okay, cool. But if she don't say that cool too. I'm not, you know, I'm not tripping.
Randy
It ain't no like you. You gonna give it to me. But I'm just saying, I've been in the music business for 30 years. I'm an old man. I'm about to be 49 years old in November. And in my experience as being in the music business for 30 years is not very, very hard to get.
Rory
It's not.
Randy
They are. They are giving you the on a platter.
Rory
You. You usually fumble more than you probably.
Maul
That is a fact.
Heineken
That's why I don't believe you're 46%.
Maul
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Randy
Thank you.
Maul
Can I speak for what I think?
Heineken
What's up?
Maul
Rory, if you were leaving. If you were leaving.
Heineken
I'm not going to get the time frame.
Maul
All of us have taken on a platter that was right there. But sometimes in this like crazy world.
Randy
Not me.
Maul
We see women that we may like and be like, hey, we should go out on a date without thinking that out the gate. That doesn't mean that we wouldn't just to the girl that was.
Rory
Yeah.
Maul
Just throwing it out there.
Rory
Yeah.
Maul
We going out for a reason. Not because. Listen, it's not because I think this only I could go get some regular.
Randy
Real quick date is the. The sex after the date.
Maul
Yeah.
Randy
That's the best part of the day. Yeah.
Heineken
That's cool.
Randy
That's the whole. I'm going on a date. Cuz once I get a little twisty, you know why the scout go back and smoke a little Bit that's the best part of the day. Well, yo, Ma. Yo, yo. More, more, more. What happened? He said yo was fire inspiration. Like, happen more. What happened? She was cool.
Rory
Yeah, we had a good time.
Randy
We weren't. We going for the fire. She was, you know.
Rory
No, for sure. But I just. I just. I hate that. That's like a narrative that I'm cheap. I'm not cheap.
Heineken
I'm like, this is all top tier.
Randy
Restaurants for you to be cheap. Like people think is cheap because you don't buy them a Birkin.
Rory
Yeah. Which is crazy.
Randy
I'm cheap.
Maul
I'm the cheapest because. Because I don't even know where you get one because. Because listen, where do they sell it? Where do they sell.
Rory
No, no.
Maul
You guys think I'm joking. Where do they sell Birkin? Where could you go get one right on Canal today? I could not. If somebody said, go get a Birkin, I'd be like, how you get one.
Randy
Right in front of.
Heineken
What is it?
Randy
Avenue? You can definitely get one online.
Heineken
Online right in front of that McDonald's or Canal Street.
Maul

Randy
Shout to Bonnie. Bonnie Nelson. This was back in 2009. Bonnie had the Birkin bag with the little Birkin to go in it. She was on some other level.
Rory
Yes.
Randy
That. That bad. Culture. It's a culture. Yeah.
Maul
No, I agree. I just tell him I got a.
Heineken

Maul

Randy

Maul
You can't have a side chick if you.
Randy
His new nickname name is Denzel because he got all the pictures coming to him. Because everybody think I'm mean. You know what I'm saying? So everybody be thinking, this is the running joke. And he knows it. He's like the real mean one, and I'm actually the nice one. He cracks jokes about. He said everybody thinks he's me. Yeah.
