5. Public and Peer Reactions (22:00 - 23:52)

The hosts and callers express strong opinions about Drake's strategies and the song's reception. There is a consensus among some that Drake's lawsuit is a sign of weakness rather than strength.

• Angela Yee [23:13]: "He got to rewrite that whole song for kids."

[Caller]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Why?

[Caller]

Because he being a hoe.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Caller]

Because he. Because he's suing. Well, you filed a petition against umg, correct? Because he said that UMG has inflated the popularity of Not Like Us by. You know. What did he say? Let me get the exact wording. Because he's litigious. He claimed the label used dishonest tactics to increase the number of listeners for Not Like Us on Spotify and radio stations. He also filed a petition against umg, alleging defamation and claiming that the label could have stopped the release of Not Like Us, which the rapper said in the document is a song falsely accusing him of being a sex offender. I'm gonna tell you something. This just lets me know. Drake don't understand culture because Not Like Us was a cultural. Is a cultural phenomenon. And that's. It's very rare air for a song to become What Not Like Us has become. It is a cultural identifier for a whole coast. One day, California is gonna change their state model to Not Like Us. Guaranteed.

[DJ Envy]

We were talking behind the scenes, and there's not too many songs that have been like that. We named MC Hammer, you Can't Touch this.

[Caller]

I only got two that I can think of.

[DJ Envy]

What's that?

[Caller]

MC Hammer, you Can't Touch this. And Tag Team won't There this. That were cultural phenomenons that everybody. And their mother was singing, their grandmother was singing, and don't even know why the hell they singing it.

[Angela Yee]

So not. Back that Ass up.

[Caller]

Back that Ass up.

[DJ Envy]

It's not a crossover.

[Just hilarious]

What?

[Caller]

It's a Negro spiritual.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Caller]

Swag Surf is a Negro spiritual. Knuckle Buck is a Negro spiritual.

[DJ Envy]

You can't touch this. White people, old people. Yes. They were singing that worldwide cultural phenomenon. I never. Like, the only problem with hoop. There it is. Like, it was always confusing with whoop and whoop. Like, it was. It was, but it was there it is.

[Caller]

Like, you could be on the street corner in America anywhere, and somebody gonna have a bootleg Not Like Us T shirt. You know what I'm saying? Like. Like that. Like, it's just rare. It's very rare air for a song to get in that space. Yeah, I can't think of too many. Like, I only. I can only really think of three. I'm not talking about a song being popular or being a hit record. I'm talking about a culture. Presidential candidates this year, both of them were using Not Like Us.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, both.

[Caller]

Both campaigns were using Not Like Us.

[DJ Envy]

How about Jump Around?

[Caller]

No, no.

[DJ Envy]

How's the pain? Jump Around. Everybody does that.

[Angela Yee]

I love that. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, let's go to the phone line. 585. 105 1. Let's start with you first. What do. What do you. What do you think about the lawsuit?

[Angela Yee]

I understand when it comes to, like, the part when he was just like, yo, y'all let. Y'all let. Basically him call me a pedophile. And I lost money behind that. The only reason why I say I understand that is because. Yeah, this is like. Yeah, like that. You call me that. People gonna run with that. I'm gonna lose sponsors, I'm gonna lose endorsements. I'm gonna lose. Like, I'm going to lose a lot of money behind that. Yeah, he did the same thing, but to be honest. Yo. Pedophile. That's like.

[DJ Envy]

That's.

[Angela Yee]

You don't want to be. That's something you don't ever want to be called, you know, but you also don't want.

[Caller]

You don't want to be. You don't want to say, hey, this man beat his wife. And you don't want to say, hey, this man's wife. If we beefing with your child is my best friend's baby.

[Angela Yee]

I get that too. But that does not hold anything to you.

[DJ Envy]

You mess with kids, but if you bring a knife to a fight and then I bring a gun, you can't be mad that I brought a gun if you brought a knife. You see what I'm saying?

[Angela Yee]

I got you and I feel you.

[Caller]

It's just.

[Angela Yee]

I pedophile just outranks all of that for me.

[Caller]

I'm going to hell. I watched the video this week. I forgot who you was going at. Jess, it's really slipping my mind right now. It's old though.

[Angela Yee]

I call somebody a pedophile.

[Caller]

No. Somebody came at you and you went crazy.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I guess. Was it Corey Holcomb?

[Caller]

No, it was a woman.

[Angela Yee]

Wendy.

[Caller]

No.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ.

[Caller]

Who was it? I can't remember who it was. It was somebody. I can't remember.

[DJ Envy]

Now, the problem with the lawsuit, I just. I don't think Drake read the room when it came to the lawsuit, right? You was in a rap battle and you lost.

[Caller]

You gotta take that L. He doesn't understand culture.

[DJ Envy]

You just gotta take that L. And yeah, I get it. You said that he called you all these names and the label supported it, but you also threw shots at that man. That wasn't true too. So it's like, how do you live off of that? Sometimes you gotta take that L. Now what I think is that album that was supposed to come out with Party. I don't think he should do that album. That album shouldn't come out next.

[Caller]

Drake shouldn't come out for.

[DJ Envy]

He should do a mirror. Everything that he feels he should put in his music. That's why I think people like Kendrick so much and they like this album like The Hart Part 6. He's talking about their come up. It's a Heart Feeling song.

[Caller]

How do you get in the studio and say, yo, man, write me a record. Cause I feel like a ho right now. I feel like I got my ass beat. You know what I'm saying? I feel like lyrically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, I just got my ass kicked. Write me a record about being a ho.

[Angela Yee]

But that's real, though. That would be better than a lawsuit though, if he did that. That would be better. Cause then that's you still doing what you do. You're doing music. I'm a ho. I'm a ho. Or whatever. Like, you're not in court.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ. But he could write his own record. He ain't gotta get a ghostwriter and be like, y'all look crazy. This guy just wanna throw a shot. I gotta go to my ghostwriter, write a record. Like, what's wrong with you?

[Caller]

So he don't use ghost riders.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Caller]

I'm not saying that he can't write, but he. He's. He's never used ghost riders.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think he would call a ghost rider up and say, you know what? I'm not. Hello? Who's this?

[Caller]

Hey, this is Crystal. Call from Kansas City. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Crystal. Good morning. What do you feel about the lawsuit?

[Caller]

First of all, Go, chief. What was Drake supposed to do? He should have did it a long time ago when he caught him a pedophile. And my thing is, you know what.

Drake was supposed to do? He was supposed to rap.

What?

He was supposed to rap, and he didn't.

True.

He didn't have to tap out with the hard part six. That's what we're missing here. Drake gave up.

But my thing is, Drake is winning. He's still gonna tell you in. But my thing is, why don't Kendrick have a hit without mentioning Drake? Drake done it thousands of times.

You're a liar. And I don't know.

I'm not. I'm telling the truth.

No, you're not. You're a liar. And I don't know why people say that.

Don't nobody get in the car. Don't nobody get in the car. Be like, put on that, Kendrick.

That's a lie.

Poetic justice with Drake only.

I've been doing it for 15 years.

[Angela Yee]

She can't say, don't nobody get it.

[Caller]

Well, you've been doing 20 with Drake.

It's crazy.

Well, more people.

It's crazy that people say that when Kendrick Lamar just came off a worldwide tour for his Mr. Morale and the Big Stepper tour, and it was the highest grossing tour for a solo rapper ever. Why? Like, it made over 100 million. Like, why are we talking? Why we. Why are we having this conversation? Like, he's not a worldwide international superstar.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's open up the phone.

[Caller]

Another cultural phenomenon Sid just told us about.

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Caller]

Who Let the Dogs out?

[DJ Envy]

Who let the dogs.

[Caller]

That's what. That's. That's what level Not Like Us is on.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Caller]

Who let the dogs Out? You can't touch this.

Whoop.

There it is. Like, it's one of them. That's rare.

[DJ Envy]

585, 1051. What's your thoughts on this Drake lawsuit? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's EJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, Charlamagne gave Drake donkey of the day. Yes, that's because of the lawsuit he has versus UMG and Spotify. So we're asking, what are your thoughts?

[Caller]

What a petition he filed.

[DJ Envy]

Petition he filed. Right. Hello? Who's this?

[Caller]

Uncle Evie? Uncle Charlotte? Or just.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, bro?

[Caller]

KK from Brownsville.

[DJ Envy]

What up? What up, brother?

[Angela Yee]

Yo, shut up, honey.

[Caller]

Him.

I wanted. I wanted to let y'all know, like, Drake is being a sore loser. And it's due to the fact that it's like an equivalent to like a boxer getting knocked out for the first time. He don't know how to handle it, you know, I'm saying. But the thing is, Drake been running the music industry for 10 plus years, 15 plus years. He, like, it's. It shouldn't even matter, you know, Saying it's a battle. That's not his fault. That's not his, like his major, you know, his forefront. It's not his. You know, I'm saying, that's not the thing he do. He's like a single rapper type of. Type of person.

What I'm realizing is Drake really can't take a hit because.

Exactly.

We saw him with Meek Mill, right? And he delivered such a knockout blow to Meek that we was like, damn right. Don't run up on Drake.

[DJ Envy]

Then Pusha T, he ran up on.

[Caller]

Pusha T. Pusha T made his eyes water. He quit, buckled immediately.

Boom.

Took that one hit and like, I don't want no problem. Yeah, he quit. Same thing here. He quit. He tried to go back and forth. And listen, he fought, but he got his ass whipped.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, hello.

[DJ Envy]

Who's this?

[Caller]

It's Bam Junior.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, bomb? Talk to us. What's your thoughts?

[Caller]

Not bum. Bam, B.

[DJ Envy]

A m. I said Bam. Or did I say bum?

[Angela Yee]

You definitely called him a bum.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my bum. My bad. Bump mean Bam.

[Angela Yee]

What's up, Bam?

[DJ Envy]

What's up, man? What's your thoughts, man?

[Caller]

Hey, hey, hey, look, tell him how you got started rubbing his scalp, man. Cause he can't think straight.

What up, dumb? What's your thoughts on Drake and the lawsuit?

[Caller]

Listen, man, Drake. Drake is bringing light skin out of it right now. You know, we not saying that song is like Ether or Hit him up, but it's catchy and he hit. You know what I mean? So Drake just need to calm down with the bs, you know what I mean? It's a hot song, so let it go. Are we listening to Beefs? We don't care about what they saying. We just want to know if it's hitting on the beat.

Hold on. What song are you saying is not like Ether? Hit them up. What do you mean not like us?

It's not. It's not a. It's not a Beef song or this song like Hit him up, but not like us. I mean, not like. I mean either. It's just a hot song and the world caught on to it, you know? That's all it was.

Not Like Us is the greatest diss record of all time, bro.

No, it's not. Charlamagne, stop with the bs. It's not the greatest dissolve.

It's the greatest song of all time.

[DJ Envy]

What's the moral of the story, though?

[Caller]

They not like us.

[Angela Yee]

They not like us. That's immoral.

[Caller]

Drake just don't understand culture, that's all. And there was nothing. Listen, man, there was nothing fabricated about not like Us. It's just a rare cultural phenomenon.

[DJ Envy]

And I won't. I will have to say one thing. Not Like Us is the best Diss record ever.

[Caller]

It's the greatest record.

[DJ Envy]

You don't think so?

[Angela Yee]

I wouldn't say Ever. Because I don't think there's any record ever. Well, when he first dropped it and y'all was doing all this talk about the. The beeps back in the day, my dad had me listen to, like, Ether. I'd never listened to Ether. I never listened to Pac and Big Eagle back and forth. I like that. But them, back in the day, they was trying to kill each other.

[DJ Envy]

So that was. That was real. Real.

[Angela Yee]

That was rap, though, too. And I'm like, dang, they. They cut deeper than Not Like Us or any of them. The whole battle between Drake and Kendrick.

[Caller]

Not Like Us is lyrically vicious, man. Certified love aboard. Certified. It just sounds funny, so you don't really think of what he's saying. That last verse. Once upon a time, all of us was in chains, homie. Still double down calling us to play. Like, he just. He, man, he ruined Drake's life with that record.

[DJ Envy]

Number one was that. And number two, I always say hit him up. Just. Just. The first line that hit him up was just like, Jesus Christ. That was like the. Just Jesus Christ.

[Caller]

And it's the biggest. Not Like Us. It was the number one record in the country. It's going to win a Grammy. Yeah. Like, it's the biggest and to me, the best diss record of all time. It just is.

[Angela Yee]

I mean, you got kids singing. Even the part. The part at the end, the singing part.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, the kids know. I mean, it's crazy.

[Angela Yee]

Are you my friend? Like, like, my mom, they kid. Kids be singing that, like, to each other.

[Caller]

So it's gonna be on Kid Bop.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. No, it's gonna be. No, no, no, you're right. No, he's not.

[Angela Yee]

Like, it has to.

[Caller]

It has to.

[DJ Envy]

We were at. We were at Sugar Factory this weekend, and the guy was like, yo, what song you want to hear? My daughter's son said, now they 12 and 11 not like us. And they don't know the words. All they know is wa wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa. They just know not like Us. That's it.

[Angela Yee]

He got to rewrite that whole song for kids. Kids bop. But not like us. No. That whole song gotta be rewritten.

[DJ Envy]

Be good.

[Caller]

Certified, lover boy. Certified. Play With Childs. Something like that. I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

Still sounds horrible. Yeah, that sounds horrible.

[Angela Yee]

Play With Childs is crazy.

[Caller]

It's gonna be something. I don't know how they gonna flip it.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Caller]

You could sit there and listen to ads or you could take a moment to have a Diet Coke break. First, grab a chilled Diet Coke because if you want it to be perfect, it needs to be crispy. Next, get a big cup of ice because everyone knows Diet Coke is best served swimming in ice. Then sip it slowly, feel that burn and enjoy your break for as long as possible. When you need a break, don't forget to grab an ice cold Diet Coke and take a Diet Coke break.
