[Parks]

[Queens Flip]

Okay, tell us what happened.

[Parks]

So anyways, we were. We had shared plates and stuff like that. Then everybody had their own entrees. The Only thing that I ate and drank that nobody else had was I had two lychee martinis and I had some fish.

[Mal]

Oh, the fish did it.

[Parks]

I. I swear to God, it has to like the. I took a bite and I was like, push the plate.

[Parks]

It took a sec. It. I. I don't know. I don't know. It took a second. Because it didn't happen right away. It happened the next day.

[Joe Budden]

[Parks]

And so the ice was not made filtered water. Yes.

They said the ice is what'll you up.

[Parks]

So that's also why I was. I didn't know if it was the lychee martini, but my girlfriend had a frozen virgin pina colada.

[Joe Budden]

But the day before might have been. You know what I'm saying? I'm saying so.

[Parks]

But it was. It was at the same table. So anyways, that's why I think it was the fish. So the very next day I am dying. Like literally. Chills, body aches, feel like I got hit by a truck. Vomiting. It's. It was. I lost like 10 pounds. It was really bad. I did not know.

[Joe Budden]

[Joe Budden]

It ain't nothing here.

[Queens Flip]

Do you know what the. Do you know all the protocols you have to go through in order to see the ball drop? Like it's a lot of shit. I attempted to go, but it's a lot of New York.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, you wanted to go sit in that Times Square.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

But you are crazy.

[Queens Flip]

I wanted to film. But what I'm saying is that there's a lot of. You have to go through a counter terrorist thing. You have to go through a lot of security. It's a lot to get to stand there.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, they had.

[Queens Flip]

It's a lot park and then you.

[Melissa Ford]

Had to stand there for.

[Queens Flip]

I thought you eight hours. For some reason I thought you could just walk there like. Like the big ass tree.

[Joe Budden]

You could just walk, but no, dog. I heard they. I heard that once you get in, you can't get out. They said was wearing like diapers because you can't pee.

[Mal]

It's a. It's a barricaded thing. At first when they open up that barricade and they let you in, after that you're.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, you're done.

[Melissa Ford]

Everyone's in there to smell like mad piss.

[Joe Budden]

Because that's what I'm like, yo, they gotta have some sort of porta Potties. And. And they was like, no, do you see how. I don't. How true that is? But that's what I heard.

[Mal]

How do you even walk to a porta Potty?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, like that's real. You lose your family, you know what I'm saying? Like be coming from other countries to come to New York City for New Year's Eve.

[Melissa Ford]

The pizzle itself. That's crazy.

[Queens Flip]

Even. Even the area that you perform in is very secluded, right? Because the Jonas Brothers, they performing. I know some of the hits and them wasn't making no noise. I'm like, I don't know the Jonas Brothers. One of the great white hopes.

[Mal]

No, we don't. The Jonas Brothers.

[Melissa Ford]

[Joe Budden]

Just you and me.

[Melissa Ford]

I don't know the Jonas Brothers.

[Queens Flip]

I was about to say.

[Joe Budden]

And me.

[Mal]

I don't know. I don't know their records like that.

[Parks]

I don't know them.

[Joe Budden]

You. Yo, dog, you.

[Queens Flip]

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Joe Budden]

If that's your next tattoo, if you get Joe Jones, what them name is Jojo. Coming down your arm. I know.

[Queens Flip]

What's it?

[Mal]

Nick Jonas.

[Parks]

Nick Jonas had that one hit.

[Mal]

He had a one joint.

[Parks]

What was it called?

[Joe Budden]

I still get jealous.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that.

[Queens Flip]

That fits you.

[Parks]

That was cute.

[Joe Budden]

Oh.

[Queens Flip]

That. That fits, right?

[Mal]

Cory said that's what I sung on New Year's Eve.

[Queens Flip]

Up Cory Cancun. Why you like.

[Mal]

Stop, stop. I'm telling you. Okay, stop.

[Queens Flip]

No, cuz the people are mad at me and say that flip is always trying to take the lid off something. And I'm not. I just want my friends to be.

[Melissa Ford]

You are.

[Queens Flip]

I just want my friends to. Cuz Fox, there's no lid. Wait, listen real quick. Me and you see the same thing. But your secret whole. The way you hold secrets. I can see why you.

[Melissa Ford]

I just look the other way.

[Queens Flip]

Indoctrinated with the black people. I can see why we accept you like you. You don't snitch. But me.

[Joe Budden]

That's why you got the whites on your chest.

[Queens Flip]

Exactly.

[Joe Budden]

I see some seeing tracks. You good, though.

[Queens Flip]

I'm just saying the people feel like you'll flip. You always trying to expose something. I'm not. I'm just trying to have fun with my friends.

[Mal]

That's right. It's all fun. Sounds just fun.

[Joe Budden]

Would you do once they shot you down at Times Square, what you do?

[Queens Flip]

Okay. I was in a house with my family and I tried to make it a.

[Joe Budden]

You went outside somewhere?

[Queens Flip]

No, I did not go outside this year. I didn't go outside. You know, last year I went outside and stuff. The past couple of years I went outside. I mean one. Even one year I was with family and friends and I mean, my wife got on me because when it was the Happy New Year and she said I didn't hug her or dress her first, I went and hugged everybody and like that.

[Melissa Ford]

And I'm supposed to kiss you.

[Mal]

You're supposed to kiss you.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, but she was on the other side. I think we was low key beefing and stuff like that.

[Melissa Ford]

And that's crazy.

[Queens Flip]

Like. Yeah, I'm just saying. So. So I. I mean, I made it my point to be home and be there and correct my wrong. Because that wasn't intentional.

[Mal]

That's good, right?

[Queens Flip]

It's like, it's like everybody's around. I really don't give a though in no reality. No, no. I gotta say that. Right. Because it's like that wasn't intentional. As mad around you on the other side if we are beefing or we're not talking. Talking. Make your way over here. I'm gonna make my way over. I'm not even thinking when everybody jump up. Happy New Year. You're gonna hug the first person that's in front of you.

[Mal]

Nah.

[Queens Flip]

So I gotta not. Oh, wait, hold on, wait. My wife is in there. We celebrate Happy New Year here. I gotta get up.

[Joe Budden]

When they start counting down.

[Mal]

Before the ball dropped, you're supposed to come together.

[Queens Flip]

So I'm not gonna acknowledge y'all. Ten, nine.

[Melissa Ford]

Walk to her. No.

[Queens Flip]

So what if I'm sitting here by one, I just walk past y'all and.

[Mal]

Go, yeah, that's your wife.

[Joe Budden]

He's saying you shouldn't be sitting here at 1. You should be in the other room at 1. Where your wife at?

[Queens Flip]

All facts. Yeah.

[Mal]

If there's any moment to put the aside, you got to put it aside.

[Parks]

Because you can't enter the new year.

[Mal]

You can't enter the new year like that.

[Parks]

The last year's. Yeah, it's a.

[Mal]

It's.

[Queens Flip]

But if you beef at 11:23, get December 31st.

[Mal]

The beef is over at 11:59.

[Queens Flip]

Never.

[Parks]

The most successful couples say that they don't take their anger to bed.

[Queens Flip]

They believe in all that. But I don't you. Because we got to live.

[Joe Budden]

Another took her to bed, though.

[Queens Flip]

Exactly, exactly. My wife. The bad.

[Joe Budden]

Talk about what Melissa said.

[Queens Flip]

But what I'm saying is that so. So I make it, you know, I go not out my way because it's not on my way. But I wanted to be there with the family and celebrate New Year because that was something that was. That's something that meant something to her. She was offended by that for a long time. That was like four. Four years. Four or five years ago. No, but she was offended by that. Like, so a lot of, you know, in the last four years. Years. I'll be outside for New Year.

[Mal]

My homie came to the event and he left his wife at home and was like, she Was tight. Dumb mad.

[Joe Budden]

I'm crazy.

[Mal]

Go home. My. You're not missing nothing.

[Queens Flip]

We gotta stop this. That's the best time to get away, nigga. Like, come on.

[Joe Budden]

Laying on New Year's and you married and he wasn't there. She don't got a right to be tight.

[Mal]

No, no. She had the right to be tight. That's why I said go.

[Joe Budden]

No disrespect to your homeboy.

[Mal]

No, no, no, no.

[Joe Budden]

I said snitching on Roscoe, but nah.

[Mal]

Saying go home, bro.

[Queens Flip]

The best time to get away is New Year.

[Parks]

Why is it the best time and.

[Queens Flip]

And when Barack Obama won the presidency, those are the two best times. We got a black president. You got. You get your off there. I'm doing 90 on the belt. Hey, I'm going to go celebrate with the black people. You got to pick your poisons.

[Joe Budden]

New Year's ain't the poison.

[Melissa Ford]

You pick.

[Queens Flip]

And I learned. I learned the hard way. New Year's, Christmas. But what's even Thanksgiving you can't even go to. It's family day.

[Mal]

That's family days.

[Queens Flip]

You got two.

[Parks]

What's the point of having a family if you're not gonna spend the holidays.

[Melissa Ford]

With you Said words, shorty.

[Joe Budden]

Gotta get Friday ish.

[Queens Flip]

Thanksgiving, you are allowed to go see your other family members and eat food at their home.

[Mal]

You supposed to bring your family with you.

[Joe Budden]

Your family goes with you.

[Queens Flip]

But what if they don't want to go to your family's house? Then what do you do?

[Joe Budden]

Then you get a pass to cheat. I'm saying you.

[Queens Flip]

Whoa, you just said. No, I didn't say cheat. I'm just saying a lot of certain holidays you're able to go outside and do what you want to do. And that's just how I feel about it. New Year's is not one. Christmas is not one. Thanksgiving should be one that you go outside and. And get your off. If you.

[Mal]

Well, now you have the thing where you do friendsgiving. So now that's out of. Typically, if you want to do your. Where you link with your friends and all that, you do it on a certain day, which is not usually Thanksgiving, which is not usually Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is 100. Another family day that you for sure.

[Joe Budden]

Family stay in the house.

[Mal]

You have no time to allow people to come into your space and cause a bunch of confusion, especially. Let me finish. Being a public figure, being who you are.

[Parks]

Y'all gotta trust that I didn't get to this age without. And being this well preserved without understanding what the fuck is going on in these fucking streets. And understanding who I'm involved with and then being able to handle that. That and doing so in a very dignified and usually a very private manner. So sometimes, sometimes I will let my private life be the fodder for this particular podcast because it can be made into jokes. But every once in a while you got to correct.

[Queens Flip]

Try a stud. I gotta.

[Parks]

I gotta course correct with for you.

[Queens Flip]

There's a stud out there that will take you up and through.

[Parks]

Here's a stud.

[Queens Flip]

The stud will have you walking in Jersey barefoot. Look how I'm coming downstairs right now. Try a stunt. Just try something different, man.

[Parks]

You know, I'm very, very straight. Extraordinarily straight. Like I. I don't feel like there's a butt coming.

[Joe Budden]

It's a butt. Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

She saw something. Everybody stop. Come on.

Who kind of makes, you know, when the TV gets fuzzy, signals kind of get crossed. It's like, no, Melissa, you're straight. That's not an option.

[Joe Budden]

[Queens Flip]

Keep it real. I saw a good looking stunt on Instagram the other day. I double took like. Wait, hold up.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah. Not that one.

[Joe Budden]

No, but it was a spun around.

[Queens Flip]

It Was a stud on Instagram again, man, I'm sorry.

[Parks]

I always wonder. So if I was bisexual, I liked women, would I be like a lipstick femme? You know, where I like like the really pretty girl, like one that looked like. Or if I had to have like.

[Joe Budden]

A super like stud you out.

[Parks]

I did like a lipstick party one time when I was doing like personal events and like that. So it was all, you know. And there was this one stud in there that looked like my now ex fiance. And I was just like. I just kept staring at her and I was like, I have to get the out of here because I'm wildly confused right now. But she just. Anyways, did she.

[Queens Flip]

Did she acknowledge you? Tell us about like, did you.

[Parks]

No, I ran away like a little bunny rat habit. Because it was. I was very.

[Mal]

She could have called Mel.

[Queens Flip]

She could.

[Parks]

Listen, I did not.

[Queens Flip]

You want orange?

[Parks]

The last time that I found a woman extraordinarily like. I don't know what words to use, like attractive but sexy and all kinds of sexually attractive. I. I don't. I don't think I'm with that.

[Mal]

That's what it was cool.

[Parks]

It was. It was the last season of True Detective. Night Watch with Jody Foster. Not Jody Foster, though. It was her co star, I think her name is Cali and she's like Native American.

[Queens Flip]

Oh, I remember. Yes.

[Parks]

She's got the pierced cheek and she's also. I feel like she's like an MMA fighter or something like that.

[Queens Flip]

Huh. Cape Verdean.

You got Cali and your mental Rolodex. Cali could get it. Look, look, she's c. So I don't.

[Queens Flip]

[Parks]

The sign just the signals got crossed. You're straight, Melissa, you're straight. But if I wasn't, that would. I think that would be my.

[Queens Flip]

Let's not say you weren't straight. Let's say that on a night.

[Parks]

Say it's never happened there. I've never forgotten my sexual orientation. I've never been on drugs or alcohol.

[Joe Budden]

You ran out the room for. Yeah, I mean.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Parks]

Wait, what?

[Joe Budden]

You ran out the room.

[Parks]

I ran out the location.

[Queens Flip]

Say it's a late night.

[Joe Budden]

So you forgot your sexual orientation that they forced you to get out the room.

[Parks]

No, that's me remembering.

[Queens Flip]

Listen, say it's a late night and she has you trapped. Not trapped as far as you can't go anywhere, but you're caught in a conversation and the conversation is going well.

[Joe Budden]

Back on the wall.

[Queens Flip]

And your back is on the wall. Good.

[Mal]

Merlot.

[Joe Budden]

In the system.

[Melissa Ford]

Wow.

[Joe Budden]

The good Merlot.

[Queens Flip]

I think she can take it down in the bathroom.

[Joe Budden]

Little $200 bottle of Merlot.

[Parks]

No.

[Queens Flip]

And not take it down like kiss you. I think you can get a kiss.

[Parks]

No, because I've literally been in get a kiss.

[Joe Budden]

No Kiss has gotten.

[Parks]

No, thank you. Never kiss has gotten. I've never kissed a girl, so.

[Joe Budden]

Katy Perry, I'm telling you that the kiss has gotten the right Merlot and the right chick in the right setting in the right lighting. Listen, little pergola ass grab.

[Parks]

Listen, you forget. You forget. You forget that I was in videos with some of the most beautiful, beautiful women in the world. Stunning. And. And when we're on location, like in Trinidad and like that, they got us all holed up in, like, hotel rooms together. And when I was on the set of Big Pimpin, I was staying in a room with this girl named Tashimi. And she was Japanese, Filipino and Jamaican, and she was walking just sexy. Another kind of what's happening Kind of moment. Moment remembered. I'm very straight. But if anybody could have got. She could have gotten me just.

[Mal]

You know what? The more you talking, the more she talking. You can. You can get flipped.

[Joe Budden]

You can get.

[Parks]

No, I can't.

[Joe Budden]

Because she can get got.

[Parks]

No, because she tried in Vegas and it. And nope.

[Queens Flip]

How did she try?

[Parks]

Well, we were out and circumstances wasn't right.

[Joe Budden]

You can get got.

[Parks]

No.

[Joe Budden]

I ain't never seen a man that made me feel nothing where I had to walk out the window.

[Parks]

Well, you guys have real issues. You guys have real issues with hyper. Hyper masculinity and like that women.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, no.

[Mal]

Or we're just straight.

[Parks]

We're permitted to experiment way more than you guys are. Maybe I shouldn't speak for this generation because Gen Z, they are fluid as well. So I'm just talking about. For us all.

[Mal]

You know, I think if you met the woman who had that. Hold on. If you had. If you met the woman with the right sex appeal. Plus, the mind is matching. Plus you're in a state where maybe a little inebriate. I think you can catch a little. Catch a little pancake.

[Joe Budden]

No.

[Parks]

How have I gotten to this age and it's never happened with all the. All the women who have crossed my path.

[Joe Budden]

Mel, I was 40 with no kids. I was my whole life.

[Queens Flip]

What they would.

[Joe Budden]

You talking about that.

[Queens Flip]

That's. That's what that means.

[Parks]

Kids are different than having, you know, like a little rendezvous with, you know, I know somebody who in the right.

[Joe Budden]

They would have tashima and shorty ain't even all that.

[Parks]

Shout out to Tashimi, wherever you are. You're stunning and beautiful. I love you.

[Mal]

I will. Well, yeah, either. Either way, you're good. You cleared up everything. We. We now know the situation that happened.

[Parks]

Yeah, I know. We wildly diverged.

[Melissa Ford]

We did.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Anyways, that's her.

[Queens Flip]

That's not her. Okay, show Mel, please. Show Mel. Is it.

[Joe Budden]

That's her.

[Queens Flip]

Is this her?

[Parks]

Who?

[Joe Budden]

Give me that.

[Mal]

That.

[Parks]

Who do you think that is?

[Queens Flip]

She? Me.

[Parks]

No, that's not her.

[Queens Flip]

That's not her.

[Mal]

Anyway, we have so many topics.

[Queens Flip]

So many topics. So many topics.

[Mal]

Not really.

[Parks]

It's really not a lot of tragic happened that we're trying to avoid getting to. So, you know, we don't want to.

[Queens Flip]

Avoid it, but, you know, we have to.

[Parks]

We. We're going to address it, but we would like to keep the mood light for a moment before we have to deal.

[Mal]

It's the first part of the year.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

Okay. Take your time. I can hear all you guys in the room. Okay. Talking at once. Let's slow down.

[Joe Budden]

Okay, Put your headphones on.

[Queens Flip]

No, I'm just saying let's take our time and speak. All right, guys.

[Mal]

You know, it's adhd. Can't handle it.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, too much talking at once. Elliot Wilson.

[Parks]

Happy New Year, Elliot.

[Melissa Ford]

Happy New Year, Elliot.

[Mal]

Elliot, go home.

[Queens Flip]

What?

[Mal]

Yeah, Elliot, you my man. But, Elliot, you sound nuts. I be sounding nuts too, but I be sober when I sound nuts.

[Queens Flip]

They killing you right now for that Beyonce tape?

[Mal]

I don't give a fuck. Okay, So I just watched. Just watching him on, you know, podcast and him discussing how he feels about other people in entertainment, trying to flip over to becoming podcasters and being in media. And it just sounded like. It just sounded like a drunk thought. And I'm just starting to watch Elliot on a lot of different spots look like he's. I don't know if he go. Is Elliot going through something?

[Queens Flip]

I'm not sure.

[Parks]

I mean, we're all going through something.

[Mal]

Yeah, but we all handle what we go through differently. Is he going through something? Because it seemed like every pod he doing, he's either a little tipsy or he's just having these weird takes that. Or he's expressing it in weird ways.

[Queens Flip]

Okay.

[Mal]

Like angry. Like, well, about camp. Well, his take was he. He didn't like the fact that he thought Cam was trying to now be the new Stephen Ace Smith or the fact that he's just in this space and he don't appreciate people in the music Business trying to transfer over to being personalities or podcasters. He feel like they're taking his spot, but it's like, Elliot, you've been doing this for how long? Like, your spot is solidified.

[Queens Flip]

So. But what if he genuinely feels that way? Like, why he has to be. Has to be a drunk.

[Parks]

Well, that would be a really interesting take to have, considering that he comes up on this podcast quite a bit. Because Joe was a musical artist.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Parks]

And then became the podfather after, like.

[Mal]

You know, and in the podcast that you doing, you're getting these podcasts, these thoughts and these opinions off on the very people that you think you're better than in the space. So it's like, why not just do that in your own time and space?

[Parks]

Like, a couple of other examples besides just the one that he used. Like, I feel like he also used. Used Summer Walker as an example.

[Mal]

Yeah, but these are. These are people who are not. Who are natural. Well, Summer Walker's an introvert, so for her to have the platform to go ahead and show a personality that benefits her, like, that makes sense for her to create that platform to where people can get to know her on a different level instead of her having to now be interviewed. That makes sense. I think he's talking about other people. Like, let's just say, like, Nori Joe or Cam Mace. Like, why do you get to go from being artists and then come to this realm of entertainment?

[Joe Budden]

But why do you got to be pigeonholed like people.

[Mal]

I agree.

[Joe Budden]

Faceted people have multiple talents. So if that's like saying Andre 3000 can't do the flute album, that.

[Melissa Ford]

Right.

[Joe Budden]

That quote unquote instrumentalist should be tight.

[Melissa Ford]

Or that would be like someone in sports being mad about Tom Brady getting a broadcast or whoever.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Like a journalist.

[Mal]

He said it was different, though. He did say that with athletes transferring over, it's a little different because they.

[Parks]

Speak the language, they played the game. So then they're the ones who. Are they legit? They're legit to take up the role of speaking as a sports commentator.

[Melissa Ford]

That seems like the exact same. It seems like apples to apples to me.

[Queens Flip]

Here's the thing with me. I feel like when the rappers turn.

[Parks]

Speaking to Mike Sir, I am. You can't really.

[Mal]

I mean that.

[Parks]

See those headphones right behind?

[Queens Flip]

I feel like. I feel like the rappers turn podcasters, they invest a lot of money into the podcast game. I'm sorry. Like, they. They go above and beyond to give the audience something great to digest. Like, we can't, like, look look at all the. That Cam has done. Cam has created his own sports show. He invested money to do so. You know what I'm saying? Like. Like, it's amazing. It's beautiful. And he figured a way how to get it. Same thing with Joe. Look at what Joe has done, you know, I mean, all the work he has put in, all the. Like, when you. When rappers come into this space and they speak, the audience are likely to listen to them more than a regular broadcaster.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, you come in with a fan base.

[Mal]

Exactly.

[Queens Flip]

And on top of that and. And other artists, this. It's quicker to respond to a rapper turn podcast than just a podcast.

[Mal]

I just hate seeing someone like Elliot feel threatened by people coming into the game now and feeling like they gonna take away some of his spot. Like he's.

[Joe Budden]

He.

[Mal]

First off, Elliot is amazing. He's a legend at what he does. He should never feel like at any time anybody coming into this space, new or old or whatever, is gonna be able to take away interviews from him or remove him from the spot that he's already solidified.

[Joe Budden]

It can still thin out your value.

[Queens Flip]

You. But they might take it away. But so what? Like Elliot. Elliot is. It's. Elliot has his time. He's a legend. People still respect Elliot, and Elliot should just respect the game, man. Like, how long would you be at that spot for? No, how long would you want to be at that spot for? A lot of times they complain the same thing pertaining to DJs and a lot of other people. How long do you want to hold that spot?

[Joe Budden]

Some people only. That's all they do. And they don't have anything else to fall back on. I saying Elliot. But. But some people want that spot because that's their comfort zone. The thing with Cam and Mace, or us or anybody else for that matter, just because I'm known for X, that don't mean I'm not good at Y and Z. You get what I'm saying? Cam and Mace, just to use them as an example, or Joe or anybody. Cam and Mace have a sports show, right?

[Queens Flip]

Fire dawg.

[Joe Budden]

Cam and Mace play sports their whole fucking life. So what's the difference? Maybe they didn't play sports on an NBA level, you know what I'm saying? But that'll still mean that they can't be be advocates of sports and be well, engulfed in sports just because they didn't suit up and play on a professional level. That don't make Tom Brady more knowledgeable. Not knowledgeable, but validated in talking sports over Cam and Mace. You know what I'm saying? Like, I just think.

[Mal]

I didn't understand why Elliot was even mad at them. Because Cam and Mace doing a sports show does. It takes nothing away from you. You don't do anything within sports, your music, if anybody. You should be mad. Mad at Shannon. Shannon is a sports guy who's now interviewing everybody, whether it be music, comedy, everything. That's the person you should have an issue with. So I was confused at why you pick Cam and Mace. I think. I think get old and then just don't know how to move out the way.

[Joe Budden]

No, I think they'd be devaluing people.

[Mal]

No, no.

[Joe Budden]

They'd be devaluing people based on what they.

[Mal]

I'm not trying to be disrespectful because I love Elliot, but I'm just being honest. I think. I think at a certain point, the older you get, you either decide you want to keep playing the game as a player or you decide to be a coach or owner. And if you haven't made that transition over to coach and owner yet and you still holding on to that jersey, you got to understand, at certain points, niggas don't need you on a team like that no. More like you. Like, you start phasing out as a player. So maybe this is the time where Elliot should start phasing himself out in the player realm and become more of a culture owner and not looking like you need to be the person doing the interview. How about go higher, hire and go branch the young guy that you can now coach into being the new interviewer instead of you needing to be in front of the screen because you should never get to this point where you start hating on new. Especially that you honestly have a respect for you. I know you respect Cam, so that's why I was weird. Like, why would you do that?

[Parks]

I think he responded.

[Melissa Ford]

Okay, let's go.

[Mal]

Yeah, there's a Cam response.

[Joe Budden]

Let me give a shout out to Brandon Marshall.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Kevin Garnett, Matt Barnes, Dan Lebatar, nick1. First things first. Especially Stephen A. Smith, Gillian Wallow, and Gilbert Arenas. I named them three last because they gave me a murder some game about this business before we got into the business. The rest of you ass. I'm telling you right now, we here.

[Queens Flip]

We here.

[Joe Budden]

Y'all can make your phone calls. You can think what I'm saying ain't true.

[Queens Flip]

True.

[Joe Budden]

I'm telling you now, we the new source. Murder, stat and killer are the new source. Y'all scared and y'all moving funny. We camera ready. First of all, murder made the slogan. We do it like we do it for tv. All y'all analysts and just pissed off. We gonna make you real mad now. Cause gonna start hitting me with the information. I'm gonna make sure I call my friends up and shout my folks out.

[Queens Flip]

To Draymond Green too.

[Joe Budden]

Because I called Draymond early in summer.

[Queens Flip]

We gonna be there every game.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

Okay. He's right. Yeah, he's right.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Elliot, stop, man.

[Melissa Ford]

Complaining about it isn't gonna help cuz their show is dope. Like, it's here.

[Mal]

We. And we love you. So we don't want you to start looking like.

[Melissa Ford]

I think. I think Elliot's just playing into the villain role at this point. I really do. I hate calling everything just trolling, but. But I think that he's embracing the villain. Super villain.

[Parks]

I could kind of see that.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

I think that he. He wants that.

[Mal]

I don't like it, but hey.

[Queens Flip]

Okay. We did it.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Little baby. New album drop. Anybody listen to that?

[Melissa Ford]

I listen to about half of it, so I don't really have no deep dive.

[Joe Budden]

I only heard two songs.

[Mal]

It's not getting the greatest reception online.

[Melissa Ford]

But they're absolutely killing it online. What I heard didn't sound bad, but. But I'm not the hugest Lil Baby fan either, so I might not be the best.

[Queens Flip]

The album is called Wham. Right?

[Mal]

Wham.

[Queens Flip]

Wham.

[Joe Budden]

Nickname, I think.

[Queens Flip]

What. What are the songs that you like from your parks?

[Melissa Ford]

I mean, the Future and Thug Song sounded dope to me.

[Mal]

That's our first real Thug feature sent to get out.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, the 21 Savage joint sounded dope. That's. That's. That's all I've kind of really heard so far outside of just casual listening.

[Mal]

I think this might be a. This might be a Ice moment.

[Melissa Ford]

This is definitely Ice.

[Mal]

This is definitely Ice moment. I been waiting for this album at, man.

[Queens Flip]

Damn, bro. Where are you?

[Joe Budden]

Ice Shout out to Ice.

[Mal]

Ice had on some ugly ass shoes on for New Year. So he probably. What? N. Has some N. You know, the hard bottoms with no socks and all that.

[Parks]

Oh, no.

[Mal]

Look at that, man.

[Parks]

Cockroach killers.

[Queens Flip]

I'll with you guys.

[Mal]

But yeah, now he stepped out with the cockroach killers on. That's how, you know, you living life different. That's why I thought you made that money.

[Queens Flip]

That's why I thought he got it.

[Joe Budden]

Because he has some.

[Queens Flip]

Because he's Scooby Doo.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Mal]

That's the only time wear Scooby Doo's with no socks. It was 17 degrees.

[Joe Budden]

He Jamaican.

[Queens Flip]

Yo, those should be slippery, too. You have to care about them shit. Them hard bottom joints, man. Corey be wearing bumble clocks.

[Joe Budden]

Can't.

[Queens Flip]

You can't. Like, you got to be careful with them.

[Joe Budden]

They had the bum bar.

[Queens Flip]

Ice. Your ice. We miss.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, man.

[Queens Flip]

Get the bum Raj fives out of here. Yo, we miss you.

[Joe Budden]

I got to see it.

[Queens Flip]

Like, I don't know what you up to, ice, but come here. You didn't win that bread. All right, enough.

[Melissa Ford]

Wait, you found out?

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, I found out.

[Parks]

We all figured it out.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, man, you knew? Yeah, I knew.

[Parks]

He knew the whole time. He knew the whole.

[Mal]

You know how many scratch offs I brought, like, thinking that.

[Queens Flip]

Yo, yo, why y'all playing tricks? Contagious. Why y'all play tricks like that?

[Melissa Ford]

I didn't play the trick. I was just aware of the trick.

[Parks]

Mark, the joke was on us because this was involved with it, too. He knew.

[Mal]

That's not true.

[Queens Flip]

He found that at the store.

[Joe Budden]

That's not true. I didn't know at all.

[Parks]

When did you find out?

[Joe Budden]

At the store.

[Parks]

Okay, but then you carried on the joke, though.

[Mal]

I did, yeah. I walked with you to the store, man, and you still walked together. We went and got sandwiches.

[Queens Flip]

And you.

[Mal]

I know, but you still played along like you won't one my work, bro.

[Queens Flip]

Oh. And my thing is that, like, how can you be doing, you know. You know what that did to market myself, man.

[Joe Budden]

Yo, showed your true colors.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.

[Joe Budden]

That's horrible.

[Queens Flip]

Yes. No, because you. You like to mix up. Oh, is proud of you. But like I said, the fact that the opportunity was there. We didn't take the opportunity. It happens.

[Joe Budden]

But I don't even know what you're.

[Queens Flip]

Talking about at the same time. I asked you for $10,000, nigga, and you act like you was gonna give it to me. Like, yo, I got you, yo.

[Joe Budden]

Say that. Tell. Tell the crowd what I said you want. Let's, let's.

[Queens Flip]

Then I told you I wasn't going to pay you back yet. Oh, what, Cuz, you.

[Joe Budden]

No, that's not true. Flip said, yo, let me get ten grand. I said, all right, Right? Just like that.

[Queens Flip]

Facts.

[Joe Budden]

I said, when you going to pay me back? He said, what?

[Queens Flip]

I got pay you back. I said, 10 grand to a meal.

[Mal]

If you win a million, that's like $100. And I come and say, yo, let me get a 10 piece. I got to pay you back. No, I'm just saying. I'm telling. Just give me your answer. I got to Pay you back, right?

[Joe Budden]

You.

[Queens Flip]

You. You motherfu.

[Joe Budden]

Yo, listen. Listen to this. This is what did people.

[Mal]

I just can't get a 10 piece on the arm.

[Joe Budden]

This is a real story. So this is how I had all the numbers, right? My girls, peoples hit a scratch off for a million. I think I came in here and talked about it. I think you mentioned it two years ago. Yeah, bro. After Uncle Sam and them took they bread, they only got four and change. That's why I knew the numbers, because they literally. And New York is higher tax than Jersey for sure, right? It is so, dog, he might like, yo, I'll come in, give everybody this. And I'm like, no, you wouldn't. No, you won't.

[Mal]

Okay? I. I said if I hit a.

[Joe Budden]

Million, that's what the ticket was for.

[Mal]

No, I'm saying if I go home with a million, okay? I. I don't have a problem with saying I would give everybody a ticket.

[Melissa Ford]

So you got to hit for 2 million.

[Mal]

No, no. If I go home with him. Yeah. If I go home with a million, I'm this. I don't even feel comfortable walking in here not giving something.

[Joe Budden]

Something.

[Mal]

To be honest with you.

[Melissa Ford]

10,000. That's number.

[Mal]

If I win the money.

[Joe Budden]

Here, let me get my 500.

[Mal]

I got you.

[Joe Budden]

It's the first of the month too.

[Queens Flip]

[Parks]

You like.

[Queens Flip]

500.

[Parks]

[Mal]

Cuz, we.

[Queens Flip]

We.

[Mal]

We betted that Imani jumped out the roof.

[Queens Flip]

Yo, cowboy, Y. Y'all gonna be last in the division.

[Mal]

I said, it's a dumb bet. It's all good. Yeah, for sure.

[Queens Flip]

Cause he gonna be paying.

[Joe Budden]

He's crazy.

[Queens Flip]

He just take his time. You play? You pay Ice yet?

[Joe Budden]

Yes.

[Parks]

Yeah, he paid.

[Queens Flip]

I apologize.

[Joe Budden]

Yo, stay out my pockets.

[Queens Flip]

So why don't you give me the ten piece?

[Joe Budden]

I told Flip I'll give him ten grand, right? This is before he even knew. I said, yeah, sure. Thank you. When you gonna pay me back?

[Queens Flip]

I don't know.

[Joe Budden]

No, he said, I gotta pay you back.

[Queens Flip]

I said, yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

I thought it was a grip, but.

[Queens Flip]

Let me ask you a question. How long would you give me to pay you back? How long do I have to pay you back?

[Joe Budden]

I didn't even give it put the time. Just.

[Queens Flip]

Just say you give me 10,000, how long do I have to pay you back?

[Joe Budden]

Like a year, six months, something like that.

[Mal]

You ain't got no PPP program like a forgivable long.

[Joe Budden]

My forgiveness comes from the heart.

[Queens Flip]

Is you talking about.

[Mal]

Nah, man. If I. If I. If I can't. If I'm Here. And I win a million off a scratch off in. In front of y'all presence. I wouldn't feel right without giving.

[Melissa Ford]

Nah, I'm playing Shark Tank.

[Mal]

Oh, who. Who got the best idea to get.

[Melissa Ford]

I gotta get an idea, huh?

[Joe Budden]

You know what I mean? And putting the E word in it here. Equity.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, damn.

[Joe Budden]

What you talking about?

[Queens Flip]

We.

[Joe Budden]

We. We can do this together. But anyway, yo, you was mad. Mark was mad. Mark damn near dug a hole in the coffee table.

[Queens Flip]

Scratching on scratch offs wasn't mad. It's just the opportunity that was missed. That's it. We talked about this already, man. You want. You want. You want to be mad? You want to find some hate in some me? Yes. Love you, bro. Bro is at me. And I know I could come to you for a quick 30 piece. You know what I'm saying? For a quick. A quick one, right?

[Joe Budden]

You said.

[Queens Flip]

You said flip. I got you. But at the. I want to know if you serious at the same time.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I would loan you $10,000.

[Queens Flip]

Yes, I would, but you wouldn't give it to me. Got it.

[Joe Budden]

Got. Hell no.

[Queens Flip]

Pop, would you give me ten grand?

[Melissa Ford]

Shark Tank. I'm playing Shark Tank. I'm playing. You got to come, come, come with an idea. Yeah, you gotta show you want to do.

[Joe Budden]

All right.

[Melissa Ford]

I got 10,000 in that.

[Queens Flip]

For 10,000, pause. You got it.

[Melissa Ford]

I'll invest 10 on you, boss.

[Queens Flip]

You got the money.

[Mal]

So that's not a bad idea.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, but you have the money.

[Melissa Ford]

We're making Shark Tank now.

[Queens Flip]

See?

[Melissa Ford]

Bring it back. I want to see you do the.

[Joe Budden]

Great white shark.

[Queens Flip]

Fly me to the moon Flip.

[Melissa Ford]

Do you want me to bring you the fish, or do you want me to teach you how to fish?

[Parks]

Yeah, I know how to fish.

[Mal]

Know what?

[Queens Flip]

I want your money. No.

[Joe Budden]

The answer is no.

[Mal]

Go ahead. We should sit. We should sit in Parks and Joe at a table and do like a makeshift Shark Tank.

[Queens Flip]

How serious does it have to be for you to lend somebody 10,000 without the shark Tank idea?

[Melissa Ford]

[Melissa Ford]

N. This is. This is a leak. I don't think he did this on purpose.

[Queens Flip]

The summer is over I missed it Bear was smoking. I kissed it fair showed us the Rennes for Texas. It's unrealistic cut him to check Cause I hate reviewing the budgets and limits.

[Joe Budden]

Just pay the minute the world fell in love with the gimmicks Even my.

[Queens Flip]

Brothers got tickets seem like they loved every minute just know the is personal.

[Mal]

To us and it wasn't just business.

[Queens Flip]

Analyzing behavioral patterns is somewhat suspicious was.

Son like a pediatrician.

Sure.

[Mal]

Convince the gang that shit was rooted in love. When it isn't. Show me how different we are.

[Queens Flip]

There's blessings and juxtaposition.

[Mal]

I guess now you boys gotta abandon your summer tradition.

[Joe Budden]

Cold shoulders.

[Mal]

I gave in a hand.

[Joe Budden]

Physics come with the distance. Figured we was always going to be.

[Queens Flip]

Close, like ovens and kitchens.

[Mal]

I was sadly mistaken.

[Joe Budden]

And loyalty.

[Melissa Ford]

So this is like recorded from a phone. It looks like it's playing on a.

[Mal]

I think they said conductor is the. Is the producer. He posted it on his YouTube and then I guess it's not there anymore.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, they said, pull that down, dog.

[Queens Flip]

I mean, sound. It sounds good.

[Melissa Ford]

It sounds great.

[Joe Budden]

He was talking.

[Mal]

He sound more than good. He killing that shit.

[Joe Budden]

He's talking that.

[Mal]

He talking that.

[Melissa Ford]

It sounded like an extension of the Scary Hours kind of vibe. Vibe. Like the. The just stream of consciousness.

[Joe Budden]

Which is.

[Mal]

Which is what I think we all need from him right now.

[Melissa Ford]

Agree? Agreed.

[Joe Budden]

Been playing out whatchamacallit.

[Melissa Ford]

What's that?

[Joe Budden]

What's the. That he dropped during the beef?

[Parks]

Family Matters.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, look. That's how much they playing it. You even know?

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, Family Matters is dope on it.

[Joe Budden]

That was going crazy on it.

[Melissa Ford]

We ain't on it. It just got stuck. Slept on.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

It was always a good as.

[Parks]

He dropped that, then meet the grams dropped and everybody.

[Melissa Ford]

And then not like us a day after that.

[Queens Flip]

Right.

[Mal]

How can.

[Parks]

That was a hell of a strategy.

[Mal]

I know we did a lot of. We did a lot of on him. We did, we did, but outside of yourself. But we did a lot of on him. I think it's a moment where we can be like, honest, like, that nigga's dead. Nice. Yo.

[Melissa Ford]

Of course he's nice.

[Mal]

No, no, but it gets confusing. It gets confused. Like I've.

[Parks]

I just mean up here, I've ran.

[Mal]

Into people in the street and they'd be like, yo, why y'all don't. With Drake? I'm like, no, we with Drake. Like, he is dope. He just lost that. But battle rap wise, that nigga is spitting. He's crazy.

[Melissa Ford]

He's incredible. Yeah, he's one of the biggest selling artists of our lifetime for a reason. Like, we don't have to.

[Mal]

Well, if we get more of that, I'm. I'm. I'm watching out for that. If I get more that. That's all I want to hear from him. I don't want to hear no nothing else. You ain't got to sing on the record. You give me at least five to six records of that. I'm cool. I'm happy, boy.

[Queens Flip]

He's good, bro. She's good, man.

[Melissa Ford]

I'm curious what happened there in terms of why. Why I'm out like this.

[Queens Flip]

You ain't supposed to put that out. You know that.

[Mal]

He's supposed to put that out, and it's not recorded. Just look like he's just rapping it.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, it looks like. Yeah, it looks like someone was filming a Nikon or some like that.

[Queens Flip]

Maybe Drake put the plan together himself. Yo, let's just. You put this.

[Mal]

Put it out there, test the waters.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, let's see what the people saying then.

[Mal]

We put the real CDQ out.

[Joe Budden]

They snatched it, but they snatched it.

[Parks]

Yeah, well, yeah, that was just a temperature check. That's what they're saying.

[Melissa Ford]

I'm sure it's gonna drop probably by the time this podcast drops.

[Joe Budden]

The actual. Yeah, the real one.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah. If it's. If it's already out, then why. Why not at that point?

[Queens Flip]

This is what we want. That's it. And we can give credit where credit is due. We can't take away from his talent. It's just, you know, at the time, it was what it was at the time, but besides Ish, you know what I mean, and myself a little bit, but, you know.

[Mal]

Nah, Ish. Still strong.

[Queens Flip]

He did.

[Mal]

He's still strong, but it was.

[Joe Budden]

I'm not the biggest Drake fan.

[Mal]

Like, it don't matter. You still.

[Joe Budden]

I just. I just think that our coverage wasn't objective.

[Mal]

I think it was okay.

[Melissa Ford]

I think it was just symptomatic of what was happening in real time. And strategically, Kendrick out strategied him.

[Joe Budden]

The. The. The. For me, the. The key thing was when he stepped on it.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Like, that song wasn't out 45 minutes. He had a whole song out that.

[Melissa Ford]

Was just G and then followed it up with another bop.

[Joe Budden]

It's just genius. But the. The way that we broke down the songs. We ain't give that family matters. The. The airplay it deserved. We didn't go through the lyricals.

[Melissa Ford]

I think we went bar for bar on that record.

[Joe Budden]

No, we didn't, but it's cool. I don't want to beef. We didn't. It was bombs getting dropped. The was talking over that because I came in here like, yo, that boy's saying some shit. And we was just breezed on by it, and I was like, all right.

[Queens Flip]

Cool.

[Joe Budden]

That was saying.

[Mal]

I think it's like the Floyd May Mayweather effect. The was winning so much. I think eventually at a certain point just wanted to see him take.

[Joe Budden]

And it's not wrong with why can't we say that? I said that like, yo, fam, the world want. They build you up to knock you down.

[Mal]

Wanted little chink in his armor. The was winning, too.

[Queens Flip]

I said, heard that. You mad you mentioned my scene. Dad, I got to go bad. I got to go.

[Mal]

Man went crazy. What N. We can't. We can't. We can't with it now, though. It's too late.

[Queens Flip]

We walked all over the Stop following.

[Joe Budden]

No, I didn't. He.

[Mal]

No, no, not over that.

[Queens Flip]

We Crip walked too. They not like us. Not over his.

[Joe Budden]

Well, I did both.

[Mal]

I put on some Nike cortexes on.

[Parks]

The tomato tomato Cortez, bro.

[Mal]

Well, you know what I mean. You know, spent Puerto Rican, you know.

[Parks]

I had a question for specifically Ian Parks. What's the difference between a singer and a vocalist? Like, is there a distinction between the two?

[Melissa Ford]

Not between those two, I wouldn't say. I think that's just different words for the same thing. I think there's a difference between, like, an artist and a vocalist or a. A songwriter and a vocalist. But a singer and a vocalist, to me, is the same verbiage. Maybe.

[Mal]

Yeah. I mean, I take it as the same verbiage.

[Parks]

Okay.

[Mal]

I would give a separation between artists and vocalists. I think there's some artists who are an amazing artist but can't light a candle to some of the vocalists that just walk on the street day to day. Like, there's certain people who are great vocalists but would never be able to embody a song and get the song across.

[Queens Flip]

Right.

[Mal]

Like, you have a hard time finding them a record.

[Queens Flip]

Everything I heard I'm looking for this cute sweat joint. Go ahead.

[Mal]

Perfect example. I'll take you Sweat.

[Parks]

He's a great artist.

[Mal]

Great artist.

[Parks]

Not the greatest.

[Mal]

Not a great vocalist ever. Yeah, to me, a lot of people.

[Parks]

I think would agree.

[Mal]

Avery Wilson, great vocalist. I don't think he's connecting as an artist because there's not many records that you can attach to him. Those. Those are the differences. So, like, Luther was the embodiment to.

[Melissa Ford]

Me of someone Amazing vocalist.

[Mal]

Amazing vocalist. But was also a good artist as well.

[Parks]

No, he was an incredible artist. I'm saying this just. I. I started watching his documentary last night, and then I. I cut it halfway because I was really, really, really tired. And I woke up this morning kind of early So I watched the rest of it. So I'm laying in bed sobbing like over this documentary.

[Mal]

Really.

[Parks]

It was so. Because of how he died, you know, he had a stroke that he really never recovered from. And he did a couple of interviews and. Well, he did an interview with Oprah. Yeah. After the stroke.

[Mal]

I remember that.

[Parks]

And he was, you know, his speech was limited and it just was so hard to see somebody who had such a dynamic personality and such incredible stage presence and he was so beloved. Reduced to that. And then also knowing that the comp, like the thread through his life was that he was known as like the. His songs were bedroom songs, you know, people. How many babies were, you know, conceived to his music. And he never found love. Love. And it touches a little bit on his sexual orientation. But everybody who was in his life really had so much respect for him. They refused to even go near that because he never addressed it.

[Queens Flip]

So it was, well, danger.

[Mal]

Patty says something.

[Parks]

Well, so his assistant basically says that she should have shut the up. It was not for her to say anything. It was, it was for him. And the fact that he kept, kept it quiet in his business, what his sexual orientation was. His true friends would never have done something like that.

[Queens Flip]

Did they say the reason why he kept this himself?

[Mal]

She said, she said a big part of it was just the perception with the industry, but also his mom.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, his mom was a church going woman.

[Mal]

He was keeping that. That's what she said. I don't know if it's true or not.

[Parks]

The majority of it was that he just could not, not stand to have his public image altered by that because of the stigmatization that went especially in the 80s and especially. Exactly. And especially the fact that, you know, hiv, AIDS was very prevalent at that time and connected to being homosexual. And because his weight fluctuated so much at one point, he was, you know, accused of having HIV and stuff like that. And it just. Oh, it was.

[Mal]

Would we have cared if he would? I mean, at that time, maybe. Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

But even if we didn't care that that wasn't indicative of the popular opinion going on at the time.

[Parks]

Yeah, but what, what I found interesting about this particular documentary and the yacht rock doc is how many artists played with each other that you never really knew.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, for sure.

[Parks]

Like I never knew that Luther was Roberta Florida Flack's backup singer.

[Mal]

Yeah, David Bowie.

[Parks]

He was David Bowie.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, I had.

[Parks]

I had you. I would never have put that.

[Joe Budden]

He said he never wanted to be a solo act at all. Like they forced him to.

[Mal]

Mariah Carey was a background singer.

[Parks]

Yeah, like, for a very short amount of time, he made a career off of being a background singer.

[Joe Budden]

Didn't want to go, and he did not want to go.

[Parks]

It's not that he didn't want to. It's that he didn't really envision. And Roberta Flack was one of the first to push him to the front kind of thing thing. And then no art, no label wanted to sign him because, you know, he just. They just didn't want to sign him. And he was developing his sound, and it was just. You guys got to watch this.

[Mal]

Do you know how many artists deal with that struggle today? There's. So, like, most of the. The real great singers. Vocalists within the business are usually doing backgrounds for somebody who can't hold the candle or writing demos or writing demos. It's just. That's just the business. Like, it's sad to say, but some of the more talented people, you never get to know that talented.

[Joe Budden]

Let me ask you a question. Do you think that's predicated on their physical looks?

[Mal]

It's that. It could be that. It could also be them just not playing the game a certain way. It could also be just. Just timing because I heard.

[Joe Budden]

I think me and Corey got in an argument a long time ago, and I was like, yo, and some of the. In some of the white musicians, uhhuh. Like, they could look like they come up there with a T shirt on and sell 47 zillion albums.

[Parks]

And that was part of.

[Joe Budden]

A lot of our. Is predicated on image so much that talent kind of gets swept.

[Parks]

Not only that, racism.

[Joe Budden]

The more talented artists.

[Queens Flip]

That's.

[Mal]

That's why I love what Money Long just did. So Money Long just. Just had a whole conversation about the Lab, Atlantic Records coming to her and saying, like, oh, would you be willing to give up some of these soulful records or to some white. To some of these white artists? She's like, no. Like, no. Like. And I. I've always said that, yo, it's. It always looks a little fancier when you take some of that soul and put it with some blue eyes. I don't know why. It's always more marketable. It hits a little different. It's like, all right. No, I don't want to be a part of that.

[Parks]

She said, that was one of my favorite parts on the. That was one of my favorite pod days because we had Dochi that day too. Yeah, Doji came up that day. And then. Yes, yes. I will never forget it. Those two were just like Just came in like hurricanes. Really strong.

[Joe Budden]

Huge personalities.

[Parks]

Huge personality. Wildly talented. And they knew it.

[Mal]

Very different. Very different, too, though. Both of them, very big personality, but very different in. In their own way. Very unique, which is why I'm so glad that both of them are receiving the success that they receive. Doshi for sure. Like, amazing. Just to see them be able to get to this point without having to circumvent their actual style or look or anything like that.

[Joe Budden]

Both of them came in like, I'm it, for sure. No bullshit.

[Melissa Ford]

And with a team that said she.

[Joe Budden]

Didn'T even have the amount of accolades and praise that she's getting today.

[Melissa Ford]

True.

[Joe Budden]

And she still came in like, I'm.

[Parks]

It's so good.

[Joe Budden]

I'm it, nigga. Like, what's up? What y'all doing? You know what I'm saying? And that shit was fly. Like, we all received her crazy. Like, yo, that was dope. And then. But Money Long had already been on a tear for the year, you know what I'm saying? So she was already. Yeah, but listen.

[Mal]

But look at both of them. First off, Money Long had to do a whole rebrand.

[Parks]

Yeah. Because she was, like, the songwriter.

[Mal]

A whole rebrand. Then also have to tell us about all the money she had to spend out of her own pocket just to get certain things popping when she thought she would get the label support. Then you have the Doshi story of, I started.

[Queens Flip]

Boom, Boom.

[Mal]

Now I'm finally getting to a position where I can now do the music the way I want to do it and starting to receive the praise. Like, just amazing how both of them. Yeah, amazing.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

Yo, all that is good, but I gotta look at Dance With My Father different now, man. No, don't. That's one of my favorite songs, man. You can't do that. That's one of my favorite songs, man.

[Joe Budden]

So you look at it different. Why?

[Queens Flip]

Because, man, like, y'all elaborating on, you know what I'm saying?

[Parks]

Like, I'm gonna make you feel like.

[Mal]

If he was gay, he can't dance with his father.

[Parks]

I'm gonna make you feel like he.

[Queens Flip]

Can dance with his.

[Melissa Ford]

He was his father.

[Queens Flip]

Wow. You guys are thinking crazy. That's not what I meant. I'm just saying that I really adore that song. That's one of my favorite songs.

[Parks]

It was his career hit.

[Queens Flip]

And on top of that, I can't say it, but. No, say it has nothing to do with salaciousness between him and his father. Please just remove that. No, I'm trying to be Funny, but you guys are making it. All eyes on me, but.

[Parks]

Okay, we won't look at you. We won't look at you. Go ahead.

[Queens Flip]

Like the YMCA singing Village People singing Dance with My Father. Man, I'm not gonna.

[Mal]

That's not. That's not.

[Joe Budden]

So you're saying J.R. can't get a dance?

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, he can. But, young man, I look at YMCA different until they told me that it didn't really mean that. I just look at shit differently.

[Joe Budden]

What it mean?

[Queens Flip]

YMCA is about basketball, nigga. The ymca. But niggas said that they made it for gay people. That wasn't a gay anthem and we had to stop.

[Parks]

Well, it was in the disco era, so. I mean, I don't know exactly, but.

[Queens Flip]

What I'm saying is that with Luke.

[Joe Budden]

I don't know if YMCA was talking about hooping.

[Melissa Ford]

I don't know if it this.

[Queens Flip]

Yo, are y'all crazy? He don't laugh. Yes, they were. I did my research. Yo.

[Joe Budden]

They might have been talking about dunking.

[Parks]

Something else like bath houses and.

[Queens Flip]

No.

[Joe Budden]

What year was that been?

[Mal]

Yo, y'all know the YMCA was for a place for people to just go and congregate.

[Queens Flip]

And the YMCA was talking about. It was promoting the youth to play basketball and play sports. I looked it up. The lead singer of. What's the. What's the group called?

[Parks]

The Village.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, the Village People said it wasn't a gay anthem. Wow.

[Mal]

I never thought it was.

[Queens Flip]

Okay, so Vandross Dance With My Father songs resonate with me, cuz I love my father and I love my family.

[Parks]

And so did he.

[Queens Flip]

And he loves his father. And I'm just. Am I talking about. But I'm just saying, like.

[Mal]

So if by chance he was gay, homosexual, would that. That would change the meaning of the.

[Queens Flip]

Song for you now? It wouldn't. But back then.

[Parks]

No, no.

[Queens Flip]

Why you think he ain't come out? Okay, let's stop playing. Why you come out. He come out for the same reason, cuz. It'll change. It'll change the dynamics. But when Luther.

[Joe Budden]

Not a D child. When Luther was out, you was a kid.

[Queens Flip]

Kid. That still resonate with me. I tear up. When luther.

[Parks]

I think. 2003.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, you might have been. How old Was you in 2003?

[Parks]

Luther died in 2003, I believe so.

[Queens Flip]

In 2003, I was 18 or 17. Seventeen. I don't know. No, no. 15, 16. Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

So when Luther was popping. Popping? He was a kid. Kid.

[Queens Flip]

So what? I just. Go ahead.

[Joe Budden]

You don't know Luther. Tell me.

[Queens Flip]

You say you about to make me feel bad. I'm sorry, man. You about to check me.

[Parks]

Well, if I'm not mistaken, his father passed away when he was fairly young. And so if you list, obviously, you know the lyrics, the song is basically an ode to his father. Like how he wishes that he could have just one more t opportunity to dance with his father. Like, his father used to pick him up and spin him around. And it was like, look at these falling issues.

[Queens Flip]

Look at the falling attitude. Look, look, we tear up. We want to dance with our father. Me too.

[Joe Budden]

I was googling what the YMCA meme.

[Queens Flip]

You know what I'm saying? That song is unofficial.

[Joe Budden]

Gay anthem is what it says.

[Mal]

It did not say that.

[Joe Budden]

You want to read it?

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

Unofficial. Unofficial.

[Parks]

The unofficial.

[Queens Flip]

Let me ask y'all a question. When that song come on, does it resonate with y'all? Yeah. Or mama does.

[Melissa Ford]

Are you talking about.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, there.

[Queens Flip]

No, Always keep it inside.

[Joe Budden]

[Mal]

I watched it on cnn.

[Parks]

It was. It was really good. And that's why I was sobbing, because. Because that song. And then he dies. Like, he never got to celebrate it. He won a Grammy for that song. He wrote it with Richard Marks. I didn't know that. Connection between the two of them.

[Queens Flip]

Amazing song.

[Parks]

And he really never got to celebrate the Grammy winning song. That was like his career hit because he had the stroke. It's. I was a mess this morning watching that.

[Mal]

I'mma catch it.

[Queens Flip]

I want to read something.

[Parks]

Okay.

[Queens Flip]

Is the YMCA song gay? While YMCA is often associated with the gay community and played at pride events, the songwriter Victor Willis has repeatedly stated that it is not intended as a gay anthem. And it was meant to represent the fun activities young men could do at the ymca, like basketball and swimming. Thank you, man.

[Mal]

A lot of swimming.

[Melissa Ford]

What were they swimming in?

[Queens Flip]

Them draw. Because why would you. That turned such a wholesome song? It relayed like.

[Parks]

Hold on one second.

[Mal]

Well, you just tried to change.

[Joe Budden]

Just.

[Parks]

Just wait one second. Let's also take into account their costumes, okay? The cop costume.

[Joe Budden]

A little.

[Melissa Ford]

A little girl.

[Joe Budden]

It was a little Indian with the short shorts on. And the feather. What are we talking about? Where you want to put the feather?

[Queens Flip]

That was the 80s, man. It was the 80s.

[Mal]

Everybody was bugging out wearing crazy. Like we say we were to put the feather. Yo, y'all some freaks.

[Queens Flip]

Y young man. He listens to the b Stop. The owner. Stop, bro. He do. He listen to the B. Yeah. Don't play with a song like that. How you know? Cuz? I just know. I googled it. Google it.

[Joe Budden]

I'm sure he get a nice royalty check. What? What are you talking about?

[Queens Flip]

That song is. That song is huge.

[Melissa Ford]

I heard it on New Year's, actually. It was at the whitest party in the world. I can't wait.

[Queens Flip]

To.

[Melissa Ford]

Planet Hollywood in the tropics. Mad teenage white kids sneaking drinks. And it was weird.

[Mal]

You know what I'm always interested to see on New Year's? What's the first song people play, like, right at 12?

[Queens Flip]

Frank Sinadra. Yo.

[Parks]

They played Mike Highway.

[Joe Budden]

Only in New York, though.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, no. They played. They played the Rihanna. It wasn't bad. It wasn't bad.

[Joe Budden]

That ain't that bad.

[Melissa Ford]

That might have been the first and last black song we got for the entire night outside of Florida. And Pitbull, if you want to include that, which I don't particularly, but at.

[Mal]

The event, played Kendrick Lamar. TV off.

[Queens Flip]

[Parks]

But it hit T. Tv.

[Joe Budden]

No, not from Costa Rica.

[Queens Flip]

They got Frank is wrong with you.

[Joe Budden]

He ain't Francisco.

[Queens Flip]

That's an anthem for New Year in New York.

[Mal]

New York in.

[Queens Flip]

In the world.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, yeah.

[Queens Flip]

Dumb. Put some respect on. Put some respect on Luther. I did.

[Mal]

All right. Put more than fight.

[Queens Flip]

I did. No. Cause y'all played around with Mutha. Y'all played around with his. With his legacy. Stop trying to put jackets on that. No, don't do that. I wish LaBelle said. Or. Or see. Or see, See, See, the thing is. Or whatever the. I'm sorry. I don't know. I don't know who they are. What's wrong with you?

[Joe Budden]

Talk about.

[Mal]

Oh, Melo won't laugh at that.

[Queens Flip]

Fly me to the moon.

[Melissa Ford]

That's how you brought in New Year's.

[Queens Flip]

Frank Sinatra is the man. He, he, him. And New Year is New Year's.

[Mal]

Who's black? That's the man of you?

[Queens Flip]

Cindy Poitier.

[Joe Budden]

Okay, quote song.

[Queens Flip]

That's hate.

[Parks]

No, not at all. Not at all. I agree with that.

[Queens Flip]

Mr. Kids.

[Parks]

What's the whole line is they call me.

[Mal]

They call me Mr. T. Be respectful.

[Queens Flip]

You rap white. You can't say that. Listen.

[Parks]

Well, he married a white woman, so there's that. And she was Canadian.

[Queens Flip]

That's a fact. There was another movie with Cindy Poyer where he was handcuffed to a white prisoner. I forgot Lily's. And there was lilies in the field. I know. Mad C8 movies that I watch. Don't play with me, son. My blacks is up, bro.

[Joe Budden]

I don't know about your old.

[Mal]

Your old blacks.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, you different, bro. I ain't gonna hold you. You're. You're.

[Mal]

He was a safe black. Like, give me some.

[Queens Flip]

Somebody like Richard Pryor.

[Melissa Ford]

Okay.

[Mal]

All right, that's cool.

[Queens Flip]

Richard Pryor.

[Joe Budden]

He was safe black, too.

[Queens Flip]

No.

[Melissa Ford]

How'S.

[Queens Flip]

How's one of them wasn't safe? There was somebody that was real raunchy back in the days. Was it Red Fox?

[Parks]

Red Fox.

[Mal]

Rudy Ray Moore.

[Queens Flip]

So Red Fox was. Red Fox was just.

[Mal]

He didn't give a do was worse.

[Joe Budden]

The.

[Mal]

The top tier of. I don't. More.

[Joe Budden]

A lot of the. That you hear like on rap.

[Mal]

Way down in the jungle deep. You don't remember that?

[Queens Flip]

Yo, chill out. Are you black? Oh, yeah, you black. Sorry, I don't know.

[Joe Budden]

Richard Pryor on stage was Richard Pry on stage, but in movies. And he was safe.

[Queens Flip]

He was so. So. So.

[Parks]

Yeah. Especially when he hooked up with Jean Hack. Gene Wilders. Yeah, they.

[Mal]

They got some classics.

[Parks]

They do Stir crazy.

[Mal]

They got Cl. St Crazy. See no Evil.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Parks]

Oh, you know what I was wondering the other day. Remember the movie Three Amigos with Steve Martin.

[Mal]

Martin Short.

[Parks]

Is it racist?

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, probably. Is it racist in this lens in today's age? Yeah, it's probably crazy.

[Queens Flip]

Then it wasn't.

[Melissa Ford]

I haven't seen it since a kid. But I'm sure now you'd be like, yeah, they shouldn't have said that.

[Mal]

You know what? There's a movie that they were just talking about that's probably one of the most racist movies ever that we just let fly by. It's a movie about a kid white guy who was trying to go to a school. School. But he couldn't afford to go there, so he tried to get a scholarship under being African American.

[Parks]

Soul man.

[Mal]

Soul man.

[Parks]

Soul man. What?

[Queens Flip]

So, man.

[Joe Budden]

Son of some pills.

[Queens Flip]

He took some.

[Joe Budden]

He took some pills that turned his skin black. He went to Harvard. They pulled him over, right? He had his license in his back pocket. And when they pulled him over, it's like, let me get. Guess you lost your wallet, right? Yeah. And he was like, no, I didn't. And yo, think on his license is a white face.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh.

[Joe Budden]

Like, he went to the gym. Everybody's like, I got him. He's on my team. I got.

[Queens Flip]

Yo, what year that came out.

[Parks]

I was a lot like the 80s.

[Joe Budden]

It was like.

[Mal]

It's bad.

[Joe Budden]

It was in the 80s, but it's bad. It's racist.

[Mal]

Don't watch it today.

[Joe Budden]

Do watch it, but don't watch it would be today. It would be. Pick your sides out front.

[Queens Flip]

What racist movies. That was racist. That we not giving up on A lot of that was racist back. Back then.

[Mal]

Movies.

[Joe Budden]

Cartoons. Cartoons.

[Queens Flip]

What was the.

[Joe Budden]

The whole Disney.

[Queens Flip]

The Iron man face was.

[Melissa Ford]

Was black Tropic Thunder.

[Parks]

Yeah, yeah, they did.

[Queens Flip]

They did.

[Mal]

They did racism. Good with that one, though. Like, it wasn't that offensive. I wasn't mad when Robert Downey did that.

[Queens Flip]

Why? Cuz you a Robert Downey fan, right? I with Robert Downey Iron man, right? N You sell out. Look at you.

[Joe Budden]

What are you talking.

[Queens Flip]

What fucking movie where a black man played a white man?

[Mal]

You got 17 white people on your body and I'm the seller.

[Queens Flip]

I only got three.

[Mal]

What the fuck, yo?

[Joe Budden]

What like, yo, you don't even drink like that.

[Mal]

And you don't even got the good whites on you.

[Queens Flip]

Who? James Stewart? I mean, he's racist now.

[Parks]

I heard he's racist, but he's been racist.

[Mal]

He's been racist.

[Queens Flip]

I didn't know that.

[Mal]

You got a racist nigga on your body.

[Queens Flip]

I'm about to take him off.

[Parks]

Who you gonna replace him?

[Queens Flip]

Cary Grant was good. Then I found out a little bit things about him, but a little. He's not racist, but you know.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Who else you got?

[Joe Budden]

He what?

[Queens Flip]

Katherine Heburn.

[Parks]

You have Katherine Heburn on your.

[Mal]

Yo.

[Parks]

And you weren't.

[Mal]

You didn't hear of Dorothy Dandridge? You ain't hear Lena Horn?

[Queens Flip]

James Stewart being racist. Hurt my heart to have this man. Literally.

[Melissa Ford]

It's on your heart.

[Queens Flip]

I didn't know your. I didn't know. I just like. I like it.

[Melissa Ford]

He on there cussing.

[Queens Flip]

Christmas movie. It's a Wonderful Life. It's one of my favorite movies. At a. At a dark time of my life, I go back to that movie and it made me feel good. I wanted to tatt it on my body. That's exactly how it went.

[Mal]

You needed a reminder.

[Queens Flip]

A reminder of how good life felt when I watched that movie.

[Mal]

Just put Santa Claus and Grease is my.

[Joe Budden]

So I ain't just put some coochie on your chest.

[Queens Flip]

Greece is my. Because coochie don't. Don't. Coochie's the one that got me in that position. Coochie feel good. Hey, yo. Hey, yo, listen.

[Joe Budden]

Put a mouth on your heart.

[Queens Flip]

Grease is my favorite movie of all time.

[Parks]

We. We know.

[Queens Flip]

Okay, so what I'm saying. I love these movies.

[Parks]

So why isn't John Travolta on your.

[Joe Budden]

Sandra D ain't on your.

[Queens Flip]

I know all the records. I ain't gonna put. He's still alive, Sean. Still alive. I ain't put him on my body. Okay, but I'm.

[Joe Budden]

He ain't the brightest.

[Mal]

You heard about. You heard about him too, right?

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

He ain't the brightest of I'm.

[Queens Flip]

But. Sidney Porier, Bill Cosby, Bob Marley, Bob Barker. Bob Marley.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, I think Bob Barker.

[Queens Flip]

He gonna put Bob Barker.

[Parks]

I think he's.

[Melissa Ford]

He's good. I don't think he's racist.

[Queens Flip]

Real quick, guys, I know that we're having fun, but we have to get to.

[Mal]

I know. We were trying to avoid it.

[Queens Flip]

We try to avoid it long enough.

[Parks]

20, 25 has started off on some.

[Mal]

Bull, and it's still going. Day three.

[Queens Flip]

Take us to the promise.

[Parks]

Day three. Like, it wasn't even three hours into it when the situation unfolded in New Orleans where a gunman got into a pickup truck and decided to go down to Bourbon street, where New Orleans and tourists were having celebrations for New Year's Eve, and just bowled through the crowd and once the truck stopped, opened fire. And I believe it's 12 people now that lost their lives.

[Queens Flip]

14.

[Parks]

I thought it was 14. Okay, okay. I didn't hear pass down 12. I'm sure a lot of people have seen the footage. It's really graphic. Kind of unbelievable when you watch it. And now the conspiracy theories are starting.

[Melissa Ford]

Well, first, rest in peace to the.

[Joe Budden]

People that were a thousand.

[Parks]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

And more people were injured.

[Parks]

Yeah, there was more people.

[Joe Budden]

So a lot of people didn't pass away, but a lot of people got injured.

[Parks]

I think it was like 30 people were injured, seriously injured. So now, you know, the right and the left, everybody's fighting. Was he indoctrinated by ISIS and this. Have an ISIS flag and whatever else. And meanwhile, this guy was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, and was in the military, you know, but now there's just this. It's. They're equating it to the open borders and all this other.

[Melissa Ford]

And why, if he was born here?

[Joe Budden]

Because I'm saying that somehow he was indoctrinated outside, got him and turned him.

[Parks]

Yeah. And they're also saying that his parents were immigrants and whatever. It's basically just the whole.

[Mal]

You know, it's a way to avoid the fact that. Fact that this country has a real serious mental health problem.

[Melissa Ford]

For real.

[Mal]

Like, they always try to figure out another way to address the fact the mental health of this country is in the gutter. Gutter. Like, address that first. Why would this person even have those thoughts to even do that? Forget all other. First off, mad people died. Makes no sense. The other mental health part that I'll be having to, like, kind of figure out why the people come with just the fact that I was able to see it the way that I was seeing it.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Like, the video was everywhere. Like, there was people literally walking over the dead bodies, filming the dead bodies. To promote. To show like that, to me, is.

[Joe Budden]

A mental health issue.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Mal]

All this shit is nuts. We all have to start addressing our mental health a little differently.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

I think they've normalized some of the shit. Whether it be movies, whether it be the Internet. Like, I remember when. What's that shit that was popping popular? Ice used to watch it all the time. Would they be killing the people online?

[Parks]

Oh, Faces of Death.

[Joe Budden]

Yes.

[Mal]

That's old. Yeah, that did. That was a VHS thing.

[Joe Budden]

But yeah. What I'm saying is, people.

[Parks]

It's been that long?

[Mal]

No, no, but it used to be a website, Ebombs World, back in the day, that would show you this type. But that was like black market, almost, like under. You can go on Twitter and see.

[Joe Budden]

Until it got normalized. And then after it got normalized, it was just mainstream. We can't make no money off it no more. I just think that when. When. When the lady got set on fire on the train, people pulled their phones out, bro. Like, that is nuts. People said that in New Orleans. They were walking by people, bro. So for you to. To think, yo, let me get the safety. Because it might be around 2, right. The first thing on your mind is pull out your phone.

[Queens Flip]

Nasty.

[Melissa Ford]

Crazy.

[Joe Budden]

You know what I'm saying? Like, we just got it.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's scary for me, too, because in those moments, I don't know, maybe it's a weird thing I do. I always put myself at that place.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Like, that's one of the first things I do. Like, oh, what would I have done? I could have been there. And what would have. And you realize you can't do.

[Melissa Ford]

Can't do.

[Parks]

And we're also. This is where super bowl is going to be in, like, about a month.

[Joe Budden]

So security going to be insane. Sugar Bowl. They were going to postpone it. Yeah, they pushed it back, but they still played. It's New Orleans, B.

[Melissa Ford]

New Orleans.

[Joe Budden]

We know, bro. Look, I know you damn near crying.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, man.

[Joe Budden]

Yo, he is the New Orleans King. But I just think that, you know, I have.

[Mal]

I have a cousin that goes there often, and him and his wife go there all the time, and they love going. Like, they. They talk about New Orleans like that. Like that.

[Melissa Ford]

Second, that's me and my wife.

[Parks]

I love New Orleans, too.

[Mal]

So I know for me, when I watch that, not only did I think of myself, I thought, damn, like, how does he. That could have been him. Like, it's just so weird. Man is weird.

[Queens Flip]

The conspiracy theorists, you know, before we came on the mic, you know, we were saying that they found the ISIS flag in his car. And Ish or male, one of you guys said that it could have been planted there.

[Parks]

Yeah, because where does that thought come from? Because what they did was, you know, first of all, the most interesting thing about this, and I don't know if it's a connection, but it's just a very interesting coincidence between this and the event that happened in Vegas, what, the same day, next day, with a cyber truck. They were both rented through the. That car app. Yeah. Which is just a random coincidence that these people rented these cars and then drove them to another state kind of thing. But anyways, that might not be, you know, here nor there, but when they were looking at camera footage of the pickup truck driving through the city, you. There's. There's shots where you do not see a flag. You don't see one. But then all of a sudden, the flag was there and found with the truck at the point in which, you know, the truck was stopped on Bourbon street after the carnage. I'm sorry, I just. I have a hard time believing that.

[Joe Budden]

I think we try to associate a reasoning why people do whatever they do in this country.

[Parks]

No, I think that. I think it benefits a certain negative.

[Joe Budden]

No, I agree with you. I think. I'm not disagreeing with it. Outside of this country being it's the greatest country in the world, but outside of this country having its issues, we always got to put a but or why or a villain or something on any tragedy that takes place.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

You know what I'm saying? I think we look for the why all the time. And so now the why is, oh, he was a part of isis.

[Parks]

Do you really think that American. America can still hold on to that label of the greatest country in the world? Yeah, because we keep talking about this as the land of free, home of the brave, you know, your freedoms and stuff like that. That, and it's like living on the inside of here doesn't really seem like that. I mean, everybody should Go somewhere else. Okay, Finland, Switzerland. There's a whole bunch of other countries that we can think of that where the quality of life is, you know, heads and tails above the average American's lifestyle or, you know, life. Right now, I would agree. People are struggling to pay their bills. People are struggling to stay in their homes. People are struggling to fucking buy fucking eggs. People are struggling healing. And they're. Like you said, there's a mental health crisis that is not being addressed. We have. I don't even want to get into.

[Joe Budden]

Freedoms lead to some of those negatives. Like when you go, don't get me wrong, you're right. Switzerland, all of the.

[Parks]

Belgium, Amsterdam.

[Joe Budden]

So in America, and I don't want to put this on money, just freedoms that we have. You can't just go denounce. We could, we could get on the mic and say, yo, Donald Trump is on some bullshit. Go to other countries and say that about the president. You might go to jail.

[Parks]

Understood.

[Joe Budden]

We could, we could come here. We got freedoms here that people don't have in other countries and other places. Granted, albeit we got some up going on here, but a lot of that up comes from the freedoms that we do possess.

[Parks]

But there's also other countries that are run on a democracy where you can get away with saying those kinds of things. I just, I think that that the type, the whole label of America, the greatest country in the world, I don't think that it holds water anymore.

[Joe Budden]

Ask them, do they want to come here? Exactly.

[Queens Flip]

That's why all of them come here.

[Joe Budden]

Most of them want to come here.

[Parks]

Because America from, from countries that have civil war and unrest and no, you.

[Mal]

Know, not just from there.

[Joe Budden]

No. Go to Portugal, go to Spain, go to other countries.

[Parks]

I'm watching a mass, you know, defection to fucking places like Portugal. People are leaving. Expat people are becoming expats. They are leaving in droves. They're going to Panama, they're going to Portugal, they're going to Thailand, they're going everywhere else because they don't want to live in America.

[Joe Budden]

That's not true.

[Queens Flip]

Real quick.

[Joe Budden]

They can't afford to live in America real quick. That's a big thing.

[Parks]

Well, that's kind of like making my point.

[Queens Flip]

A lot of us, we highlight the, the, the, the migrants, right? And the situation because. But they are migrants that help the good migrants. Migrants. There are good migrants that came here that made something of themselves.

[Mal]

This nation is built off of immigrants.

[Joe Budden]

Whether voluntary or involuntary. The whole entire nation is building on migration.

[Queens Flip]

I know I make a Lot of jokes about it, but there are migrants that came here and helped build this country. I think right now where we at is that we are broke, we are fucked up, we're struggling.

[Joe Budden]

So we look for the white why.

[Queens Flip]

But the why, the why is in front of our face. If you walk down to the most fancy hotel and you see the, some of the migrants in there and, and this is getting paid. They get in the money. No, it's honest. And they get in the money and they out here doing. Hurting people and set people on fire. You're going to get mad.

[Joe Budden]

Let me ask you this.

[Queens Flip]

Not all of them are doing it, but you're going to get mad.

[Joe Budden]

You're right. Let me ask you this. Ten years ago, before the migrants were here, what was going on?

[Mal]

Same.

[Queens Flip]

Nobody's been set on fire on trains.

[Joe Budden]

You are. Maybe not that one instance, but we've had people got. Get set on fire before pre migrant. True, the migrants didn't make the chaos. You understand what I'm saying? Some of them might have added to the chaos, but I think that's even on a small number. Again, we have to find a why so that we don't have to look in the mirror and hold ourselves accountable for some of our. It's easier to blame it on this person.

[Queens Flip]

I don't think the migrants create the chaos. That's not what, what I'm saying. I'll be wrong to say that, but what I'm saying is that right now, while people, while Americans are struggling, we are witnessing an uproar in our society.

[Joe Budden]

I agree.

[Queens Flip]

That's it. We're witnessing that real time. Nothing is being done by it a lot. And it's not only the migrants doing it. Look, a black guy just pushed a guy on a train and the guy survived. So I'm not, I'm not saying that, but what I'm saying is that so unless the news is intentionally highlighting all the negative things about the migrants, migrants, then that's the only way I can see it. Because that's how we're seeing it. And it looked like, like, okay, we don't have money here, but we give them.

[Mal]

Domestic terrorism is just as much of a problem, if not more than all this migrant stuff you're talking about.

[Queens Flip]

I agree.

[Mal]

On a yearly basis every year, if we talk about the school shootings, we talking about just the random attacks, poverty.

[Joe Budden]

All of that poverty didn't come here just because the migrants so that, that.

[Queens Flip]

I don't, I don't, I didn't say no.

[Joe Budden]

I don't no, I'm just saying. Because people be like, yo, resources being depleted by the migrants.

[Queens Flip]

No, the resources.

[Joe Budden]

Brooklyn was up for the last 50 years. My. Yeah, Newark has been up for the last 50 years. Cleveland, a bunch of Brooklyn crazy.

[Mal]

All right, What's South Bronx?

[Queens Flip]

Certain parts of Brooklyn is still over there.

[Joe Budden]

What I'm saying is all of these ghettos around the country have been up before a migrant ever came here. Like that. Don't. It's not. It's not. It's not.

[Queens Flip]

Okay, but here's the thing. Shout out to Ish, because, you know, he. If he wasn't in a situation, he would like the ones in high heels and 40 shoes. What I'm saying is that. But we. We. No, no, we cannot. Yes.

[Joe Budden]

It's not migrants.

[Queens Flip]

No. Well, Ish is correct.

[Mal]

Yo, some of them ain't get the papers yet.

[Queens Flip]

Ish is correct.

[Joe Budden]

Hey, man, I don't knock him.

[Queens Flip]

You know what I'm saying? It's just right. Obviously, it's the government that's doing this. It's the government that's doing it in front of our faces, right? Like, it's going to be some. It's going to be some civil war going on here.

[Mal]

I get disgusted by the fact that in these moments, the first thing we start focusing on is politics. The politics of it or the conspiracy theory. Yo, people died.

[Joe Budden]

Human beings.

[Mal]

So now they're no longer themselves. They lose their name. Now they're just a part of a death toll. Like, why. Why is it, like, we be so quick to make the killer the news of shit before even addressing the fact that the people that died had names, has families. So now I agree. Yeah, I hate that. Like, that's a big part of why I hate seeing the videos come across. Cause now that's my last image on this earth. You seeing me dead, laid out in the street. You don't know my memories. My family seen it. You don't know who else is seeing it. It's disgusting. So before we even get to conspiracy theory, I don't care about that. Let's start figuring. Let's honor this person. Let's figure out those names. Let's highlight those names. Let's. Before we start dissecting homeboy and whether he was an ISIS defective, I don't care.

[Queens Flip]

He did what he did.

[Mal]

Whether you find out he did that or not does not matter. Fact of the matter is we have a problem in this country, and a big part of it has to do with mental health. And instead of y'all Putting the money towards fixing something. Because I've also seen a lot of the attachment to some of these terrorists, especially domestic, they do come from our army and our Marines and our Nate. Like a lot of that ptsd, a lot of things talk about that people don't want to speak to that level of. And as someone who has a. A family member in the army who deals with ptsd, who talks about, yo, there's a lot of people here that's up. Mentally fucked up, and a lot of. A big part of why they're fucked up is because the government forget my dad was in Vietnam. He fought, he came home fucked up. And when it came time for him to get that support from the government, just luckily he had enough wits to go to school and get a good job. But there's a lot of people who don't have that option.

[Queens Flip]

Listen, I lost a cousin in Iraq. Killed. You know what I'm saying? Nicholas White. I lost. He died. He got killed. My mom was in the Marines. What I'm saying is that I watched the effect that. Losing my cousin to the war. War. What it had on my family, to my Auntie Annette. I watched that in real time. So, like, I do understand that even like, PTSD can pass. Be that. I don't want to say passed on, but a death like that can traumatize and cause different things in the household.

[Mal]

You ever. You ever. So you. You lost a cousin, physically lost them in. In the war. Imagine losing somebody and they still alive. They go to the war one way, and now when they come home, home. They're alive, but they're. You don't know them.

[Parks]

They're like an empty shell.

[Mal]

They're empty and they trying to drink away the thoughts. Yo, my. My dad used to tell me, honestly, the only reason why he drank every day and he drank every day was because to get out of his head of the things that he had to do over there in the namesake of this country, and then to come back and your country look at you like it's crazy, you know what I'm saying? To see people live through that. So no telling what's going on with this guy and what he experienced, not giving him any excuse.

[Joe Budden]

And ironically, the. The. The same dude in the truck, the.

[Parks]

Cyber truck in Vegas. Yeah. He was also a military man.

[Mal]

Like, if you look at the pattern, there's a pattern. And they never want to address that. They never want to go ahead and take some level of responsibility for.

[Queens Flip]

We.

[Mal]

We. We brainwash people to become killers, and then we send Them back into. Because once you become a part of the army or anything, you're no longer some civilian. You look at us differently. And then you put them back into the world and tell them to go back to that. And it's like, nah, my brain is already trained to be this. I can't, I can't. It's war at this point.

[Joe Budden]

Or you a Jason Bourne type.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Then you just gonna throw that in.

[Queens Flip]

The middle of Rest in Peace?

[Mal]

To Rest in peace to everybody.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, for real. For real.

[Queens Flip]

And I mean, obviously, you know, he got killed after he hit the people and ran them over. He jumped out the car, started shooting, and then the police killed him. So, you know, rest in peace, man. It's unfortunate.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Queens Flip]

And also I feel that I want to be doing my job. If I don't say this. I'm tired of you young niggas out here just doing senseless shootings. Now, a lot of times I try to stay out of it, to say, I understand, I understand, but enough is.

[Joe Budden]

Enough, you know what I'm saying?

[Queens Flip]

I mean, 10 people shot outside of Amazon, which is a club here in Queens. Yeah, a club here in Queens.

[Mal]

That's my shit too.

[Queens Flip]

They were saying it's possibly gang related. You young niggas are getting on my fucking nerve. I can't blame anybody else now. Now you guys know right from wrong. A lot of ya guys been watching this shit. I don't know what the new thing is to kill on camera and do this and just do random shootings. And like you niggas is just doing shit recklessly just to get a name. And I blame the government too, because. Because they have games in jail. They make jail so comfortable. Like when you were younger, you used to be scared to go to jail. Now want to go to jail. They got PS5s, they got flat screens and all that.

[Mal]

Like this PS5s, they all that in jail is living.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, Is living. What I'm saying is that you young, pack it the up. I'm tired of you young doing this, bro. I'm tired of like that, wasting your lives. Jobs for a gang that don't love you, for friends that don't love you. You taking one of your own for what?

[Joe Budden]

Send them. Send them to Venezuela, huh?

[Queens Flip]

Take that somewhere else. I mean, shooting girls, shooting little children, just shooting wild.

[Mal]

So now. So now do you take back that theory of when we were saying, you know, your environment, it does play a part, but at a certain point, you got to be held responsible for the things that you do. Because the excuse that people will use or that that's their environment, like what you expect. This is all they know. It's like, no, like grow the up.

[Queens Flip]

The kid that they were celebrating Pastor got killed, right. It was his one year anniversary, right? He got killed. He'll be 17. They came all the way to Queens to do a memorial for the young man. You bring your raggedy ass from Brooklyn or wherever the you from to Queens by Amazura, which we had a lot of issues, issues with before and we just cleaned it up a little bit to shoot a couple of people.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

Just shooting.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

And I mean I could, I could blame the environment all I want to. Right? Because that was my excuse. My excuse was to feel sympathy. But when I feel sympathy, I feel like now I became part of the problem.

[Mal]

That's my point.

[Queens Flip]

I became part of the problem watching this. Hey. Bang. Hey. Looking at the camera now. Nah, you little need to be. I don't want to say that part, but you little need some type of wakeup call. You do need a wake up call. And I don't know what happened to the OG's out here and I don't want to blame them neither, but a lot of these are fatherless. A lot of don't respect their parents. A lot of don't respect their teachers.

[Parks]

Or respect the elderly or respect their own lives.

[Queens Flip]

Or respect their own lives.

[Mal]

Hey there. There's. There's a couple of prominent speakers, speakers, black speakers, that say that there's another solution to this. I'm not gonna say what it is, but it's a little more drastic than just saying you need to go to jail or you need to go ahead and change. Some people aren't changeable.

[Queens Flip]

So what? Knock them off.

[Joe Budden]

Just put a nail on the. Put it. My man said. My man said. Screw a 2x4 to the dashboard. Put some nails in it.

[Queens Flip]

Just, just let me fry my.

[Mal]

They say I would. I would never.

[Joe Budden]

I'm not preaching that because somebody is reformable. I think if that's a word, I'm not preaching that.

[Mal]

But they do, you know, I don't believe that.

[Queens Flip]

I'm just saying something real quick. There's a guy that I know, he's from the Wild bunch in Brooklyn. OG Nuke did 30 years. When you hear the story, I mean, he blew up a building in Brooklyn. He has a lot of bodies under his belt. OG Nuke came from after doing 30 years in prison. I interviewed him and he's one of the most nicest people I know. He's reformed and he's out here, you know, with Life Camp, Erica Ford promoting the peace with the youth and stuff like that. Now, May listen to OG Nuke. I see people listen to him. Cause like, oh, nigga, I know your story. It was in the paper, nigga, You. You did all this shit. And I'm not saying. And I want to be mindful because people lost their lives, and the people that lost their lives, they do have family. So I don't want them and feel like, yo, you beat this man up and shit like that. I don't want to do that because I did that a lot before and I didn't realize that the family, you still affecting them.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

You know, so that's not what I'm doing, but I'm just acknowledging the fact that this man has done all this time and stuff and has came home with a different view on life. He inspires me and inspired other around me. So I'm not saying that people can't change, but they need to go through something.

[Parks]

He was rehabilitated.

[Queens Flip]

Yes, but they need to go through some. Maybe the jails these days. It's not the jails like it was back in the days. What you looking at? The devil's son behind me. That's not me. What you looking at? I see you looking at the devil's song.

[Mal]

No, man.

[Queens Flip]

What do you think need to happen? You think we need not. Do you think these little niggas need to get knocked off, dumped on the island somewhere by themselves?

[Joe Budden]

No, no, no, no.

[Mal]

I do believe in rehabilitation. I do think that people can be reformed. I also do believe that there's some people that will just never change.

[Queens Flip]

You feel that with the inside?

[Mal]

I do. I do think that there are people that just will never change, whether it be circumstances, whether it be mentally, whatever it is. I do. And then what do you do about those people?

[Joe Budden]

How do we differentiate the two?

[Mal]

I don't. I don't know.

[Parks]

You can't.

[Mal]

You can't. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's, It's. It's like we. We're in. This is the world we live in. We've been living in. It ain't nothing new. The only difference is that you just have social media to make things a little more visible for you. But all the things that are happening today have been happening. So, like, what do we do about that? Do we just become accustomed to it? Do we just try to remove ourselves? Like, I would hate to tell people, for the people that lost their life In New Orleans, the first thing people want to say if that. See, that's why I stay home. That's why I don't want to go outside.

[Parks]

That's the last thing.

[Melissa Ford]

That's why.

[Mal]

That's the last thing any. Like, now you want to tell people they can't go nowhere. They can't do nothing to avoid people like that. It's like you can't never. You can be in your home if something happened to you.

[Parks]

Movie theater, any grocery store, church.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Parks]

Nowhere sacred anymore as it. As it relates to.

[Mal]

But it's nowhere.

[Joe Budden]

Nowhere.

[Mal]

Nowhere has ever been sacred. It's always been like this. This is. This has been the world since the world has started. So when we talk about it as if this is this new thing, it's like, no, we. We just gotta be accustomed to it and just understand that we don't control none of this. I. I keep seeing these shits and Whether it be deaths in the family, whether it be deaths seeing this, we don't control none of this.

[Queens Flip]

But we all got. We all have the. We. We all have the. The. I don't want to say complaints, but we all have the stories to tell. But we have no solutions.

[Mal]

There's no solution.

[Joe Budden]

There is none.

[Mal]

That's the. That's what I mean.

[Joe Budden]

There's no solution from our angle. Nobody can, honestly.

[Queens Flip]

Why not?

[Joe Budden]

Because you don't have the power to control how many people in the United States. 300 million people. You don't have the power to control 300 million people. You know what I mean? Everybody thinking on their own wavelength and they own accord. We don't have that building ability to do that.

[Queens Flip]

If.

[Mal]

If we sit all in this room, we all know each other and let's just say one day, Ish invites. Ish invites somebody to come through. We don't know this person, but let's just say that person just bugged out. Out of nowhere.

[Joe Budden]

Parks play the Benjamins and the Benjamins.

[Mal]

And it triggered him. He go off.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Mal]

It's out of our control. We didn't plan for that. We thought we was in a room with people who are solid and safe. Don't know.

[Queens Flip]

Well, pray. It's all prayers.

[Joe Budden]

We've gloomed y'all out.

[Queens Flip]

Let's get.

[Joe Budden]

Let's go. We've gloomed y'all out.

[Melissa Ford]

20, 25. Let's try to do a little better.

[Joe Budden]

You ever did it like slide before?

[Queens Flip]

You crazy.

[Joe Budden]

Do it right now, Mel.

[Queens Flip]

You ever had Electric Slide?

[Mal]

Do it right now.

[Queens Flip]

Get up, Mel. Come on.

[Joe Budden]

The Electric Slide no, not the. Not the Rabbit Strut. Canada.

[Queens Flip]

Left, left.

[Mal]

Oh, you doing it wrong.

[Queens Flip]

No, I'm not. I met the. That created the Electric Slide.

[Mal]

Got who?

[Queens Flip]

Rich Silver. Okay, who created it?

[Mal]

So show Rick.

[Queens Flip]

Google it. Google it. Worry, old ass.

[Joe Budden]

Ain't the Electric Slide based off the Hustle? That dance? The Hustle.

[Queens Flip]

Google it and see who created the.

[Mal]

Say, I don't think y'all know how to do electric side.

[Queens Flip]

Cool. I got to move. I'm going on a party ride. Yeah, you know the last five. No, that's a. That's a test. You got to. I want you to learn.

[Joe Budden]

That's funny. That's comedy right there.

[Melissa Ford]

I'll learn. You can learn. I'm willing to learn.

[Joe Budden]

If I see your 65 as go. That's hilarious.

[Queens Flip]

Listen, bro, why you tapping like that? Look at the hood of the white man. Look. Why you tapping like that?

[Mal]

Y. N gonna be both. Django it.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah. Who created ish.

[Joe Budden]

Rick Silver.

[Queens Flip]

Exactly.

[Mal]

Oh, gotten it.

[Queens Flip]

I interviewed that a gay man from Connecticut. You.

[Mal]

You.

[Queens Flip]

I'm. Shout out to him.

[Joe Budden]

Put your dance with him. What?

[Mal]

He showed you how to do the dance? He showed you how to do it, correct?

[Queens Flip]

He. He did. It's on YouTube, actually. He told us how to do the dance properly.

[Mal]

We hold your hips to show you which way to go.

[Queens Flip]

You got to hit your feet up like. We hit your feet up the way.

[Mal]

Pick it up here, Flipper.

[Queens Flip]

Throw cat. I have a question for y'all.

[Melissa Ford]

Shoot.

[Queens Flip]

I was talking about this yesterday. Friendships that needs to. I don't want to say need, but friendships that should be valued. Because I was talking with this about Ms. Jones and saying that, and she was talking about Benzino, and I said, jones, you can't talk about it. We supposed to be cool with him. And then she was like, nah, nigga. Like the industry. There's no friendships in the industry.

[Mal]

You're saying industry friendships.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Should they be. Should they. Should they be valued? You know what I'm saying? And, like, I stopped speaking. Listen, I'm gonna just keep it real. I didn't really. I didn't stop speaking, but I didn't cut communications off with Zeno. Not cut it off, but because he wanted to keep talking about Melissa Ford and he wanted to do it with me. And I'm like, nah, we not doing that. Like, what position? And I fucked with him. But what position you putting me in now to keep wanting to come talk about Mel or want me to go live and talk? I called. I told Mel I about It. But wanting to go live and talk about Mel. We're not talking about Mel. So when I, when I told Ms. Jones, like she was making fun of, you know, Benzino had a video where he was on the floor and shit like that. I'm like, you can't make fun. That's our man. I don't give a fuck what happened. Like, but I get. Is there any friendships in the industry that should be cherished, nigga, or is it a dog eat dog world? Especially if we're in this type of field that we're in. Cause like, there's a lot of shit I avoid talking about with niggas. That's my friends. Who you asking? Everybody in the room.

[Joe Budden]

I think friendship is friendship. I think that friendship should be cherished. I don't give a where you meet the person and what industry you. And I think that just be an excuse for to do.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

I think that if somebody is your.

[Melissa Ford]

Friend, an actual friend, friend, associate, or.

[Joe Budden]

Like what, what do we talk?

[Melissa Ford]

Contemporary.

[Joe Budden]

I don't, I don't agree that there's no friendships in the quote unquote industry. Every industry is different. Different.

[Queens Flip]

But what about the field that we're in? We, we, we, we, we're in a field.

[Joe Budden]

You're not going to make friends with everybody you come across in this industry.

[Queens Flip]

I mean that if they, of course. But if there's some people that you respect and you don't want to talk about them.

[Joe Budden]

Okay.

[Queens Flip]

You, it may be frowned upon by the audience that's listening to you. That's why I like Joe's and Star Stand. Star always said, I'm friends with none of you. Joe said, yo, I already know when I got the gig, when I, when I committed to this, that I don't want to be friends.

[Joe Budden]

That's their stance. You can't, you can't knock their stance.

[Queens Flip]

I'm not, not at all. That's great.

[Joe Budden]

Their stance. Somebody else is not wrong for having a different stance than them.

[Queens Flip]

So then how do you approach a topic if there's something about a friend of yours?

[Joe Budden]

We just did it the other day. You did everybody up here. We did it with Remy and Pat.

[Melissa Ford]

True.

[Joe Budden]

You could report something objectively without giving an opinion on it. You could quote facts or, or if you decide that you don't necessarily want to talk about that. Oh, well, you don't have to talk about that.

[Mal]

Oh, I'll say it now. Anybody that I have a friendship with that happens to be in the industry, I'm biased and I'm not going. I'm not going to do it. I don't give a. I'm. I'm gonna. If they've helped me in some type of way and they're actually my friend, I'm not talking about it. And it's. It's a very small list of people. Otherwise, it's up for all you. I don't care. I don't know y'all. I don't owe y'all. You haven't helped me in any way. We don't have a friendship. So if it's a topic that comes in front of here that I have to talk about, I'm gonna talk about it. But smallest Joe Kiss. Royce. You know, certain other people I've worked with who have helped me in certain ways in this industry, I'm not talking bad about them, and I'm going to keep my comments.

[Melissa Ford]

I don't think that we really talk bad about people for the most part, unless someone does something super stupid that you just have no choice.

[Mal]

But I just know sometimes how we offer opinion can come off exactly away. You know what I'm saying?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Mal]

So. So especially in the moment when you're talking with other people, you might have to watch it back and like, oh, damn, that did come off a little sideways. So let me go back and change it. I don't want to have to do that with too many people, because I'm from that star thinking at this point, star, tell us straight up, yo. I'm not friends with none of you niggas. I'm giving it up how I need to give it up, because I'm more committed to this than I am to y'all, so.

[Parks]

And also, being in this business, there's so many people that can be compromised and corrupt erupted. So the friendship just goes right the out the window. There could be somebody that you were friends with for years and years and years, and you share with. You know what I mean? Like, you share good times, bad times, personal information with, and then they still do something to you.

[Queens Flip]

You heard that?

[Parks]

I mean.

[Queens Flip]

It'S up.

[Parks]

This industry can compromise. Compromise. You. A camera stuck in your face is sometimes all it fucking takes. And the. And the right question being asked and.

[Queens Flip]

The sad part about it, not the sad thing, because it's not sad, but you don't. You. You people don't like when I say it, but you hold it down. They don't like when I say that because they feel like that I'm trying to say that it. I'm trying to say that Melissa's holding it down. I'm sort of condoning the things that may have happened to Melissa Ford in the industry. But that's not what I mean. We have deep conversations about these things and I admire the fact that you're able. Even though when you get drunk you talk about all the. You're able to keep. No, you're able to keep your lips closed about a lot of shit. You have a lot of shit on people and you keep it closed. Even that bitch that played with you, right? Like you kept your mouth closed. You still handle it with grace. Now a person like me from my hood side could say, are you just scared? You scared, you scared of the bitch you got, you shook. But the other side is respecting it. You just probably respect the friendship of what y'all once had.

[Parks]

No, it's because I don't go back and forth with. I am not the one. I'm not the one, the two, the three, the four, the five. I will not go back and forth with you. It is a one sided beef in your mind. You are irrelevant to me at that point. Once you reveal who the you are noted. And that's it. And we go back and we are not going back and forth. I do. I'm not doing that.

[Joe Budden]

So.

[Queens Flip]

But no one.

[Parks]

And I'm. And, and also I'm not, I'm not coming down off my throne. I'm just not. That's just my, that's just my, my way of doing things. It always has been. I've always like, always wanted to like remain, you know, poised and composed and dignified in the face of anything that gets thrown at me. No matter what it is. Sometimes it's a little difficult to do it. I'm here.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Parks]

But I play into it. You know what I'm saying? Saying but that's, that's who I am and how I've always been.

[Queens Flip]

What if there's another throne? Like, what if there's a person that's on the throne as well? On the same level of thronism as you throw. So then now you.

[Mal]

I gotta watch a throne.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, like what if somebody is as famous or even famouser than you and they talk about you?

[Joe Budden]

You still more famous.

[Melissa Ford]

Famous. Sir.

[Queens Flip]

Thank you. Wake up.

[Joe Budden]

I'm. I'm listening to you.

[Queens Flip]

More famous than you. You still wouldn't have address it because doesn't. When you say I don't want to address something, is it because you feel that you are above them? Not like that, but above.

[Parks]

Above it.

[Queens Flip]

Above it.

[Parks]

Above it. Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

What if somebody's on the same. Like, who is?

[Parks]

It's.

[Joe Budden]

It's.

[Parks]

It's not even what if Halle Berry. It's not necessarily the person. It's the circumstance.

[Joe Budden]

You gonna mute up what you think?

[Queens Flip]

What if Haley talked about you like that Melissa Ford?

[Parks]

She would never. But what if, though she would never.

[Queens Flip]

Told you so she be. Why would she mute up? Because it's Holly.

[Parks]

She would never. You want to know why? Because H is the exact same way. There's some times where I'm just like, what would Halle Berry do in this particular situation?

[Queens Flip]

I thought of that the other night, too.

[Mal]

Where were you with the computer open?

[Queens Flip]

How would Haley. What would H do?

[Mal]

What?

[Queens Flip]

Monster ball. That's what she'll do.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Mal]

I caught a little.

[Joe Budden]

Made me feel good.

[Mal]

I caught a little.

[Parks]

Made me feel good.

[Queens Flip]

I was hating on that.

[Mal]

Me, too.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, everyone was scrawny ass Billy Bob.

[Mal]

Hell yeah. I think he put it in.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, I think so, too.

[Mal]

I think he put it in. I done did.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, man.

[Mal]

No, they had the tape then, but I'm not.

[Joe Budden]

I'm.

[Mal]

I'm breaking tape.

[Queens Flip]

You are. You would have been. You would have been just coming home just now when it came out. You done. You. Welcome home. E you talking about you can't break tape. She's fire, son. That's what I said.

[Parks]

That scene was nuts.

[Queens Flip]

Would you have. Would you have done a scene like that? Ma. With him?

[Mal]

She did one. The Wilma brother.

[Parks]

No, it was not the same.

[Mal]

But he had the tape.

[Parks]

Yeah, yeah, he had the. No, he had the sock on his deck, and I had the taped.

[Mal]

Oh, it wasn't even taped down.

[Parks]

No sock.

[Mal]

Oh, he ain't got no meat.

[Queens Flip]

What? Don't need no tape. Yeah, that's hate.

[Melissa Ford]

That was crazy.

[Mal]

All right, my bad. What the.

[Melissa Ford]

An.

[Joe Budden]

Had a no show.

[Parks]

Am I getting an Academy Award after that?

[Queens Flip]

Oh, man, I don't know if you get an academy Award, but would you have done it?

[Joe Budden]

Yo, you was going, ooh, I.

Oh, my God.

[Joe Budden]

Hilarious.

[Parks]

Embarrassing, but yeah. Of course. I'm acting like I'm having the time of my life, this dude.

[Queens Flip]

But that's hate. Billy Bob Thor could be probably hanging to his knee.

[Parks]

[Queens Flip]

He was married, Angela.

[Mal]

That don't mean her rocking. Yeah, she might just be an attractive woman.

[Joe Budden]

Cute chick with some trash box. It's a bunch of mountain. Oh, like Billy Bob gotta be slinging to get baggy. That's. Hey, I'm not. I promise you. I'm not.

[Queens Flip]

I'm just saying, like, it's true.

[Mal]

A lot of women. Listen, a lot of us do that. We put women on certain pedestals simply because they look good. You get them. They trash.

[Melissa Ford]

That's true. That's absolutely true.

[Queens Flip]

Not just.

[Melissa Ford]

But she might not be.

[Mal]

Not just body wise. Just the minute they open their mouth, it's like, all right, you're trash. Like, what am I doing here?

[Parks]

I don't think that that was the rumor.

[Mal]

Oh, I don't think that was the case with her.

[Parks]

But everybody head.

[Joe Budden]

Don't be right.

[Parks]

She was like a wild little minx.

[Mal]

[Melissa Ford]

A minx. She was a minx.

[Parks]

It's just water. I'm not talking about when she was alive. When I. When I say I'm just. That don't mean rest in peace, company excluded. You know what I'm saying? No, some sick would do it.

[Mal]

Some women would do it too.

[Joe Budden]

[Mal]

The disgusting settling thing that women do.

[Parks]

Yeah, sure, there's some dirty.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, there's some dirty.

[Parks]

Yes, that's what we're saying.

[Joe Budden]

But you'll be saying that yo y'all are just stick your dick in a Coca Cola bottle spinning around.

[Queens Flip]

But why? But why? Listen, listen. All we all got fetishes and fantasies and we all stick our. Like sometimes. Sometimes you may want to a fat.

[Parks]

Okay.

[Queens Flip]

Sometimes you may want to a ugly. Sometimes you may. No, for real. Parks. Hey, yo. I saw the other day. I never dealt with a big A plus sized woman. I didn't. But I saw the other day one look good on Twitter. And I said, ah, If I wasn't married, would I explore these regions?

[Mal]

Yo, you don't feel wrong saying that as a big guy?

[Joe Budden]

It'll be two pigs in the money.

[Queens Flip]

No, I don't.

[Mal]

You don't feel like you shouldn't be judging having sex with a big girl.

[Queens Flip]

If you're a big girl, I'm gonna say that was my first of all. I'm about to lose weight. I'm about to go next week.

[Joe Budden]

Your vision for real.

[Queens Flip]

I don't give a. Give me lazy.

[Joe Budden]

Why you think Mel wearing them dumbass glasses?

[Queens Flip]

Shut the.

[Parks]

I'm not wearing them now, mister.

[Joe Budden]

You know I can't say. I can't.

[Parks]

That was him last week. He couldn't say.

[Queens Flip]

He.

[Joe Budden]

I had one contact in the other day.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, I used to do that back in the day.

[Queens Flip]

Why you put one contact. You also freak. You want some freak, son? Like, come on, baby, look me in this eye. I love you so much. I'll take this contact. You know, when you get in trouble, you start doing I slap myself.

[Joe Budden]

I don't do that, fam.

[Queens Flip]

It's. That's the top.

[Joe Budden]

Ish.

[Queens Flip]

If you like, you beg, nigga. You like. You beg for forgiveness, not for coochie. No, it's different. Pay attention to what I'm saying. Beg for forgiveness, not for pussy. I don't think you beg. I think that you go above and beyond. If you get caught in something. I'm sorry. What the. I can see.

[Mal]

I see that. I can see it.

[Joe Budden]

What I got to do.

[Mal]

I can see a little bit.

[Queens Flip]

I'll drink this lemon juice. I'll drink this whole apple cider vinegar.

[Parks]

What?

[Queens Flip]

That shit nasty, too. Yeah, I'm drinking. You don't even dilute it. I'm drinking right now. It's a holding for real. Keep it real tough. Excuse me. Don't do that. You don't beg.

[Joe Budden]

When's the last time you had to apologize for some.

[Joe Budden]

Yo, dog, why y'all want me to be. Y'all so bad?

[Queens Flip]

Every man beg. Ish.

[Joe Budden]

I haven't begged like that.

[Queens Flip]

That really.

[Joe Budden]

I never really been in those situations where I had to beg.

[Queens Flip]

Did you call the phone more than 20 times in a day?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I did that.

[Queens Flip]

Okay. Did you leave voices? Smells?

[Joe Budden]

I doubt it. Okay, now, yo, I've cr. I came up here and said I lost 30 pounds over the chick. Why the would I not sit up here and say, yo, I begged the chick to come back to me? I never really had an opportunity that.

[Queens Flip]

That. This has to feel like he's the illest in the world to never beg. A chick? No, a dog. What?

[Joe Budden]

Because the most times when they do the bag in the crowd cry, it'd be fake. My cries was real.

[Queens Flip]

You talking about me? Yo.

[Joe Budden]

No, my was real. I was up out here.

[Queens Flip]

You know what I'm saying? So it.

[Joe Budden]

I never had a. The bag never really presented itself.

[Queens Flip]

Fox, have you ever begged before? Honestly?

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, I'm sure I can't think of a time.

[Queens Flip]

Off the top married and your girl is bagging other girls and passing them along. You live a great life.

[Melissa Ford]

I do live a great life.

[Queens Flip]

Like, look, your face is turning red. I'm just gonna t. I know what happened.

[Joe Budden]

I'm.

[Queens Flip]

Listen. That's hate. Can't tell.

[Joe Budden]

Flip word.

[Queens Flip]

Wait, hold up. That was a secret.

[Melissa Ford]

It's not a secret. We don't care.

[Joe Budden]

The world ain't. No.

[Queens Flip]

I think that's fly. First of all, I think you have to. I appreciate that Parks is comfortable in his relationship and his marriage to not allow.

[Melissa Ford]

You would have an issue with your girl Bing girls.

[Queens Flip]

I wouldn't but.

[Melissa Ford]

For your friends.

[Queens Flip]

Thunder. Thunder.

[Joe Budden]

Thunder.

[Queens Flip]

Cast fire. What does that mean?

[Joe Budden]

What does that mean?

[Melissa Ford]

I don't know.

[Queens Flip]

I can't say what it mean. No, I wouldn't have a problem with it. If my wife went over there to got some girls from my friends, I would. I wouldn't mind that. But what I'm saying, I had to look at it a little bit some point.

[Melissa Ford]

Ch.

[Queens Flip]

What the is that?

[Joe Budden]

That's.

[Queens Flip]

It's your stupid ass ringer, nigga. You got. You got a chime ring.

[Melissa Ford]

Chimes in the booth.

[Mal]

Oh, okay.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, yeah, duh.

[Queens Flip]

Sorry.

[Melissa Ford]

Just happened at a really appropriate time. So.

[Queens Flip]

No, so what I'm saying is that I think it's great. Great that you like, you're just confident about it and you and you and you embrace that. Some men don't embrace it. Some men are extremely controller. I'm not. My wife went over there and got a friend from one of my mans. Yo, I think that is fun. Yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

Cory was over there dolo. She was trying to help out.

[Joe Budden]

He ain't got no gang rimsa. He ain't had no game. Wasn't getting nowhere with the Y. Said, yo, I don't speak Spanish. Gang don't gotta be verbal.

[Queens Flip]

So what was her aki?

[Melissa Ford]

[Joe Budden]

Picho. Hey, mommy, Mommy.

[Queens Flip]

[Queens Flip]

[Parks]

We've had this conversation, okay? I think that I am.

[Queens Flip]

Oh, you're the worst wing woman.

[Joe Budden]

I'm not. I think I could see Mel.

[Queens Flip]

Re.

[Joe Budden]

Really?

[Parks]

I'm a great wing woman.

[Queens Flip]

Hey, girl, you see that guy over there?

[Melissa Ford]

I think it would depend on the situation.

[Queens Flip]

His name is Imani.

[Parks]

I'm a great woman.

[Queens Flip]

And he is alone. And girl, you and him.

[Melissa Ford]

I think if it was someone that she didn't want, he can't.

[Queens Flip]

He gets testosterous.

[Melissa Ford]

And if she had like, faith in being a good guy, she would be a good wing.

[Queens Flip]

He'll get steroids.

[Melissa Ford]

I don't think she would blindly be a good wing woman.

[Joe Budden]

N. I think.

[Queens Flip]

Come on.

[Joe Budden]

I think she need a half a cup of sip.

[Melissa Ford]

Well, that may be true actually too. We talk about Merlot belly.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

A half a cup Martinelli belly.

[Joe Budden]

Hey, yo, please put your hat back on.

[Queens Flip]

[Joe Budden]

No. Want the.

[Parks]

Not necessarily.

[Joe Budden]

[Parks]

I'D be a good wing woman for a guy, I don't think.

[Queens Flip]

If it's a room full of baddies, I think your ego kicking.

[Joe Budden]

Hey, yo, I don't think I could do that. I ain't never do that. I don't think.

[Melissa Ford]

What's that?

[Joe Budden]

Yes, I did. I did it for toy. Help someone else get some toy one time. Oh, no, I like help. None of my home girls get no dude.

Let's.

[Mal]

Let's get some quiz.

[Queens Flip]

If the guy.

[Mal]

If the guy is trying to get Mel per se. Her, he's most likely not just getting it because he wants to actually engage. She's using her as arm cannon.

[Parks]

He wants to go outside.

[Mal]

She's namesake. So he wants to bring her outside. So most likely he's going to want to bring her out to dinner.

[Queens Flip]

Right.

[Joe Budden]

Sometimes.

[Parks]

And he wants to cook most of the time.

[Joe Budden]

So when we get in that Uber, she can't cook now. What uber?

[Parks]

You got $15,000 a month to give me.

[Queens Flip]

Wait, hold on. Stop. Wait. Don't do that. But wait, you trying to say she's right.

[Queens Flip]

Then give me 10. My would be like this custy Freedom. Turn them off on top of what I'm making already. Yeah, freedom.

[Joe Budden]

Three customers a month is 30,000.

[Mal]

[Joe Budden]

Customers a month.

[Queens Flip]

Right? Cory's right.

[Parks]

Okay, so we're establishing that y'all are escorts in this store.

[Joe Budden]

[Melissa Ford]

[Mal]

[Queens Flip]

Use me. Yeah. My body. Do what you must.

[Joe Budden]

You want a sandwich after I'm with you. Mel, these is.

[Parks]

[Queens Flip]

Yo, he is you not. He's not.

[Mal]

It's just said something to Mel out there about something else.

[Queens Flip]

Oh yeah?

[Mal]

Was like, oh, you trying to tell me you wouldn't do. He already assumed that no matter who.

[Queens Flip]

The he was basing that off their prior relationship.

[Joe Budden]

I told Mel. You trying to tell me you didn't do X, Y and Z.

[Mal]

She said no.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, right.

[Mal]

You didn't believe it.

[Joe Budden]

I don't believe it.

[Parks]

And because that person has an extraordinary high net worth.

[Joe Budden]

That's not true.

[Queens Flip]

True.

[Parks]

And he's famous.

[Joe Budden]

That's not why I said that.

[Parks]

Okay.

[Joe Budden]

That's not why I said that. That's only.

[Mal]

So let's take the three. Let's take three female equivalents of that. Dude, hold on.

[Joe Budden]

No, no.

[Mal]

Let's take three female equivalents for free.

[Queens Flip]

Cool.

[Joe Budden]

Thank God. Pay me. They getting for free. And we gonna take three females. See where my. See where it differs. I'm not saying it's for the. For the. For the spanking.

[Melissa Ford]

But what if they were willing to pay?

[Joe Budden]

I don't really. I don't even.

[Mal]

How quick do you send the account number and the routing number?

[Joe Budden]

I don't want their.

[Queens Flip]

He doesn't want to feel like he's a hoe. Oh, he's being used. That's is feel like is was a hoe as a man, but he getting.

[Joe Budden]

Nothing out of it.

[Queens Flip]

But he was in control of his body.

[Joe Budden]

Yo dog, I didn't even let girls buy me gifts like that. Imani, he has said that. What are you talking about?

[Mal]

But we talking. We talking about you in female form.

[Joe Budden]

I'm talk. You said do the equivalent. Flip it and say it's three women that are the equivalent of that gentleman.

[Mal]

We have different morals as men. We have different morals as men's that we won't have as. As women. So yes, you won't feel comfortable accepting gifts as a man. But as a woman you would 100 be taking the gift.

[Joe Budden]

Maybe, maybe not. I'm not saying that. You might be right. I'm not disagreeing with you. What I'm saying is when I asked Mel that question, it wasn't predicated on homeboy having no bread.

[Mal]

It was just off of him, period.

[Joe Budden]

Listen to this. I know Mel, right. Mel likes nicer things, right? If a. That Mel finds physically attractive. Which homeboy is right. We can all say he's a handsome dude.

[Melissa Ford]

Sure.

[Queens Flip]

Cool.

[Mal]

That's a debatable to people. There's some women that don't. That don't. I'm just saying.

[Queens Flip]

Yo, I saw some yesterday on the gram. These have a hotel room that is literally under the water. I saw that you are underwater. The fish are swimming above your head.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, I saw it too. That's. I'm cool on that.

[Joe Budden]

I'm kind of. It's kind of scary.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, I'm good.

[Joe Budden]
