Yeah. Hey, yo, if you got the black and pink Iverson for Valentine, we gonna.

[Ish]

Yo, you might add something.

[Ish]

Some Puma slacks.

[Joe Budden]

Some new Stop Puma slacks. All right, what's important? Come on.

[Flip]

You know what's important.

[Joe Budden]

They undo what's important. You know.

[Flip]

You know what's important, Joe.

[Joe Budden]

All right, I. So, y'all, let's go.

[Flip]

Come on, Freeze.

[Ish]

Come on, Freeze.

[Joe Budden]

What?

[Ish]

All right, y'all know what it is. Album drop that y'all been waiting for.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Flip]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

Some.

[Ish]

What is it? Some sexy songs for you.

[Parks]

For you.

[Ish]

Party Next Door featuring Drake.

[Parks]

I felt like it was a little bit more of a Drake.

[Flip]

Yeah.

[Parks]

Featuring Party Next Door.

[Ish]

I'm just talking about the way they label.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, sure, sure.

[Ish]

Circumvent certain. I think it was a Drake album.

[Parks]

It was a Drake.

[Ish]

It was a Drake album. Try to get around Universal.

[Parks]

That's what it was.

[Joe Budden]

He did it did.

[Flip]

And he did 21 songs.

[Ish]

Yeah, 21 songs. So let's. Let's hear it. 15 of them.

[Parks]

You said you like 15.

[Ish]

I said I heard like 15. 16.

[Parks]

I listen to the whole thing.

[Ish]

First off, I couldn't find this. It was, like, extremely hard to find. Like, when it dropped. Stroke of Midnight. I'm in the stores.

[Joe Budden]

Don't say stroke. Stroke.

[Ish]

Stroke that.

[Joe Budden]

Midnight.

[Flip]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ish]

You talking about midnight. A good time to stroke.

[Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, don't buy an album at the stroke of midnight.

[Ish]

Sexy song.

[Mel]

That might be the album to buy.

[Parks]

It was right there for me.

[Joe Budden]

But.

[Ish]

But, yeah, it was just hard to find. It was really hard to find. And people's complaining, saying that they couldn't find it.

[Parks]

Huh?

[Joe Budden]

You bought it before you laid down.

[Ish]

I was seated when I purchased it.

[Joe Budden]

Weirdo.

[Ish]

It was sitting on it at my desk. Hey, yo.

[Joe Budden]

Ah. Get the out.

[Ish]

Are you good?

[Joe Budden]

Get the out of. At my desk. At my desk at the stroke of midnight. Yeah, I went to bed. I went to bed like an adult, like the old nigga. I am watching very scary people on Max.

[Parks]

Okay.

[Mel]

Good show.

[Joe Budden]

I started as a paradise show. Very scary. I would have never watched that by the name, but that is a great.

[Mel]

Yeah, it's dope show.

[Joe Budden]

Went to bed, woke up at around 4. The album was right there, right at the top. First album on itunes. Copped it. Walked to the kitchen. Huh. Left asleep in there. You know what I mean? Took a little walk, see what it's getting. It's cool. I thought it was cool. I think if you're a Drake fan, you're probably really happy to hear this, and it's good to see the moment. Right. It's good to see the fans just have something to for sure cheer for and have their time. I think if you're a party fan, you might be disappointed.

[Parks]

He. I feel like he was underrepresented on the album, being that it was billed as a party album. That being said, I'm not. I like Drake more than party, so.

[Joe Budden]

I wasn't really mad at it, and most people do.

[Parks]

And that being said, this genre, Jake Drake, there's a bunch of different genres. This is not my favorite of the Drake genres, the slow R and B, spacey shit. But I think it's solid. I think it's solid.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. I thought it was cool.

[Flip]

I like the album. I like the album, but I see some people are complaining about it, and I want to hear from the people that actually listen to the music or listen to Drake to see why people may not like it. Cause I like the album. I think that the album is dope.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, go ahead.

[Ish]

I mean, music is subjective.

[Flip]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Like, so you could like some shit that ice. Not like. And Parks might be in the middle on. I think sometimes we be listening to the other motherfuckers to tell us what to like.

[Flip]

But then if we're waiting for Drake and Drake comes and to me that, you know, he delivered. And then I hear people that I look for. Look to for music saying, well, I don't really like it. I want to know why. Like, what's the reason? What are we looking for? What are you guys looking for in music?

[Ish]

You know, sometimes it could just be expectation. Like. Like people could have expected. Even though they build this album as sexy songs, it's songs for the women. So you kind of could go into it. You kind of know what you gonna get.

[Flip]

Got it.

[Ish]

There's people that's like, I know Drake gonna give us one where he just going bar crazy on it. Oh, he didn't do this. Oh, he didn't do that.

[Joe Budden]

So did he give us a bar record?

[Ish]

No, he did, but I'm talking about damn near timestamp.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Record.

[Ish]

Because.

[Flip]

Okay, People expected.

[Ish]

He has monetized Drake.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

But this ain't that. So a lot of times when People don't like something, it's because they set their own expectations and it didn't meet. Or they just got an outright bias or that. Yeah, it sounds.

[Joe Budden]

Drake and Party have produced way harder music than this. So back to your expectation point. Right?

[Ish]

A full body of work.

[Joe Budden]

No, no, no. Never a full body.

[Ish]

Gotcha.

[Joe Budden]

But just in every feature on both sides. On Party side, from. If you're reading this, like, the people that are fans of both of them, when they get together, it's like, all right, so maybe this didn't meet that mark. For Party fans, Drake fans, I see a static.

[Parks]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ish]

And rightfully so. Like, I'm happy for them.

[Joe Budden]

Them.

[Ish]

Like, I'm not a Drake fan, but I'm happy just to see. I like that. It looks like he's putting that behind them. And it's just going now. Now I'm just. I'm off that. This is where we are. I'm giving y'all music the warm weather coming. This is what I'm on. And the fans is eating it up.

[Parks]

I kind of feel like this album could have came earlier. Historically, earlier time.

[Ish]

Like in the years.

[Parks]

Like, yeah, years. This could have came out years ago.

[Ish]

Yeah, yeah.

[Parks]

You know what I mean? I think it would have been a better move then, but sound like old Drake. I do like him getting just back to doing Drake and leaving all the battle and all the other Internet alone, even though he's still doing it.

[Ish]

But that's what y'all got for that. For the most part, I got you on back in the booth. I'm put out a music project, but I'm on y'all ass in the summer.

[Flip]

Yeah, I like that.

[Ish]

That's what I got from it. I'm. I mean, I can't wait to see what's next. Yeah, that's what he's talking. Yeah. This summer, we'll be back. Or I'll be back. And I ain't forgetting nobody.

[Flip]

I like how you said they not like us on one of the records.

[Parks]

He did.

[Flip]

I thought that was funny. Yeah, I thought that was funny.

[Ish]

Do y'all have standout tracks that y'all with more than others?

[Joe Budden]

Like, no.

[Ish]

I'll be remembering the names.

[Flip]

I like the Melissa Ford joint. More hugs. Give me a hug. Number 10.

[Joe Budden]

It's good to hear. Drake the jerk.

[Ransom]

Familiar with Drake Elimination, fake intimidation. Take a minute, take a deep breath, Have a little bit of patience. Drizzy, you amazing. You the inspiration. You set the bar for the next generation. You Neo in the Matrix. These niggas Just Nemo in the ocean Small fish making kids feel emotion Using you for promotion Truer words have never been spoken Niggas want to see Brit me on a T shirt like I'm hawk coat. I appreciate the fans rocking with me this is really just a small token. Really? With a visionary only reason I ain't got a girl and I ain't getting married. Cause I'm really out here filling up the itinerary till I'm six feet.

[Parks]

That was fish.

[Joe Budden]

All right. Ish. We got your answer to your question.

[Ish]

That was for you again.

[Flip]

Bring it back again. Shut the W series.

[Ish]

I'm dead ass.

[Flip]

I didn't catch that one.

[Ransom]

We out here filling up the itinerary only reason Hate the fans rocking with me. This is really just a small token really fucking with a visionary Only reason I ain't got a girl and I ain't getting married. Cause I'm really out here filling up the itinerary till I'm six feet in the cemetery.

[Ish]

That's a direct response to your point that you make a lot that you think he want to settle down.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Okay. And he telling you this why? I ain't got a girl, nigga, so.

[Joe Budden]

Don'T worry about it. Okay.

[Ish]

That's all you got? That's all I got, dawg.

[Joe Budden]

Okay. Why you look all tight in the face?

[Ish]

What? I got a smile on my face? Face how look tight?

[Joe Budden]

Botoxy. Smell chill.

[Ish]

Got the fillers.

[Joe Budden]

Smell chill.

[Ish]

You ain't got no fillers?

[Joe Budden]

You ain't went get no fillers?

[Ish]

He might have did, though. He got a little tuck right here, bro. Oh, I get any tox? Y'all need to tox my ass in that Hudson River.

[Joe Budden]

Okay. All right.

[Ish]

But you respond to Drake, though.

[Joe Budden]

What do you think of his response to you?

[Ish]

He didn't respond to me. Drake is making music. I'm the last thing to go on Drake Drake's list.

[Flip]

It's a coincidence that he said.

[Joe Budden]

But what do you think of his explanation for never wanting to be married? I think. Or settle down.

[Ish]

What? Man don't really want him. Let me take that back.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

I think Drake would like to be married. My personal.

[Flip]

So you forcing marriage on A. I'm not forcing anything. He just told you how he felt to your question? He answered. We just asked him. He answered.

[Ish]

You said lie every day, baby. Men up here lie every day, B. So he lying. I'm not.

[Flip]

I'm not doing.

[Ish]

I'm just saying we trying to.

[Joe Budden]

[Ransom]

Party's not for everybody. You got me thinking deeper, deeper, deeper.

[Ish]

Deeper, deeper than I.

[Ransom]

I did what.

[Ish]

I did that night.

[Joe Budden]

That night.

[Ish]

That night.

[Joe Budden]

I watched you hit that 42 like it's bright. That's fire. Yeah.

[Parks]

Records hard. That record's hard.

[Joe Budden]

Those are the two best joints on this. On this project to me. Deeper. And give me a hug.

[Ish]

Really? Yes.

[Joe Budden]

Yes. By far for me.

[Parks]

I like the intro, too.

[Joe Budden]

I like the first half of this. I like the first half of this. You start losing me and shout out to yeah. Absolutely, Absolutely love. Yeah. Yeah. Why I can't talk today.

[Parks]

I like the. Yeah, but I like the Pimmy's dilemma. It's just a little interlude, but that is tough.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Parks]

How do you guys feel about Nokia? That seems to be a I with it. I do, too. At first time I listened to it, I was like, I don't know. But in the car today, that was.

[Ish]

That gonna sound all right outside, too.

[Parks]

I can see how. I can see how this would be potential.

[Ish]

Yep. Yeah.

[Flip]

Yeah.

[Ransom]

Mobile sound.

[Joe Budden]

2025.

[Ish]

77. 77 commercials.

[Parks]

This is definitely gonna be a tick tock, tick tock.

[Ish]

You know what this is for?

[Mel]

This made me think of like roller skates.

[Flip]

I thought he was trying to follow the line of the Metro and future type way. You know, they was Doing all funny ass sounds that they were doing Okay.

[Ish]

I didn't even think.

[Flip]

Yeah, that's how. That's what I thought. It gave me that feel at the time.

[Ish]

You know what I was thinking? I mean, you went Metro future. I was thinking Kanye Tadala song.

[Flip]

Ah, got it. What you think?

[Joe Budden]

No, not at all. Absolutely, absolutely hate this. No quit. No doubt. I thought he was going on and make Joe hater run between.

[Ish]

Now see this one?

[Joe Budden]

This is almost through the last one. This one is horrible for me. This meet your padre into Nokia back to back is almost as egregious as what did HOV do on kingdom come? What did he do? It was that Usher song into that Beyonce song. Oh, my God. Sorry Hov.

[Ish]

Anybody.

[Joe Budden]

I love you ho. And.

[Ish]

And then Hollywood and I forgot the other one, dog.

[Parks]

This is horrible.

[Flip]

Can I meet your padre? That's a. With a guitar.

[Ish]

I think that chasing some spanky.

[Joe Budden]

That's what I'm saying.

[Ish]

That's he chasing money. Yeah, but dude trying to hit every base. No, it's not. It's not. But guess what happens? $38 day in there spinning Nike tights. No, no, no, no, no. They got the Nike Titan at 38 on. They might.

[Parks]

I kind of like this one too. This is a little bit more poppy too, bro. He.

[Ish]

He kind of hit on a bunch of different bases.

[Parks]

This one's super poppy. It feels like a 90s offspring or some.

[Joe Budden]

This the one he tried to call scissor for, but he forgot. He definitely went to Texas and this came back green. Oh, come on. Yeah, I like the first half of the project. I think it's cool.

[Ish]

There's records on here that I like. I'm not gonna say I ain't even.

[Flip]

Finished the first half. If you like the first 11 records. No, like 10 records.

[Joe Budden]

I like the vibe of the first half. I understand people out there saying that it might get repetitive a little bit. Again, got you.

[Parks]

That's your back, though.

[Joe Budden]

This is.

[Parks]

This is your life.

[Ish]

Sometimes it's not wrong with if I. If I like this vibe. I like this sound. All right. Keep doing it.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

There's nothing wrong with that shit is working.

[Joe Budden]

And again, good to see that them have that moment out there of, you know, it's been. It's been rough. It's been rough.

[Parks]

It's been a rough 12 books.

[Joe Budden]

So this feels like a reset or.

[Ish]

Like at least he back to making music again. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Ish]

And taking some chances or being creative. He in his little creative process.

[Flip]

I guess this is all trickery. He trying to figure out, you know what I mean? Get. Get through what he got going on, you know what I'm saying? With the whole UMG situation and, I mean, we could read through it and we see it, but it's clever. Let's see where it goes. I like the project and I'm looking forward to more reception on it.

[Ish]

On one of the joints, didn't he say Lucia hit me and told me to piece it up?

[Parks]

Oh, he might have. I don't know. I haven't done a lyrical deep dive.

[Ish]

I think he said that on one of the shits.

[Joe Budden]

What do we.

[Ish]

What do we think this album Does? First week?

[Parks]

250 to 350.

[Ish]

I'm with that box.

[Joe Budden]

I'm with you.

[Ish]

I'm with that. It's a big gap, though. I'm. I'm going lower.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Pause.

[Joe Budden]

Whoa. How much lower?

[Ish]

Let's hear 120.

[Parks]

Really? You tripping?

[Ish]

I'm just. That's. That's my number. What you think.

[Joe Budden]

If it come back 120 something is. Is very, very wrong. Very wrong. It's very, very, very, very wrong and very wrong. And then they're going to say we can't account for the direct to consumer sales. If it come back at 120, they're going to say we sold 200 in direct to consumer. Because it was an early, early link for that.

[Parks]

Oh, it was okay.

[Joe Budden]

A couple days, really. Some type of. Yeah, you could buy the digital footprint or some. Don't give me a line out here. I waited until it popped up in itunes.

[Ish]

But if you think. If you think they do 120, what's wrong? Like the fix is on or off.

[Parks]

P4 only did 37.

[Joe Budden]

I'm not grading this as part a party album.

[Parks]

Well, the only reason why I am is because it's listed as a party album.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, but UMG is under here.

[Ish]

Yeah, but so party, when he drops, it's under that Santa something. Yeah, Santa and Drake. Well, it's OVO under Santa Ana.

[Joe Budden]

OVO Sound under exclusive license. The Santa Ana label, that's Party. Ovo and OVO under exclusive license to Republic Records, a division of umg.

[Ish]

And that's Drake.

[Joe Budden]

Yes, that's what it's.

[Ish]

It's saying that it is party, but it's saying both of their deals.

[Parks]

Okay.

[Joe Budden]

I just can't see 120.

[Parks]

Yeah, it seems that would be frighteningly low, in my opinion.

[Ish]

And I think this.

[Joe Budden]

I think drake could sell 120 of a CD full of farts.

[Ish]

I believe he could, but I think also.

[Joe Budden]

So if this comes back as that something's off, I'm saying.

[Ish]

But expound on. When you say something's off, what do you mean by that?

[Parks]

They're buried?

[Joe Budden]

Or it means it's just not going to be. It's not. It's the beginning of maybe. Maybe independent Drake. If it comes back at 120. Is this what independent Drake looks like? I'm gonna say no, but yeah, see.

[Ish]

I think this is the safety net. Dropping it this way. If it does come back, if it's not typical Drake numbers, they can use.

[Parks]

It as an excuse.

[Ish]

Exactly.

[Parks]

Got you.

[Ish]

It's almost like we're preparing ourselves for it to come back a little lower. There's no single. There's no. There's been no nothing leading up to this.

[Joe Budden]

True.

[Ish]

So now this drops. We know it's not gonna do typical Drake numbers. So let's make it party featuring Drake and drop it this way to cover ourselves so that now we're shielded against any type of backlash from. Hey, why you didn't do this number? Why you didn't do that number? Well, it's because of that.

[Joe Budden]

Cause word gonna get around that it ain't but so much party on here. And I think if that word get around, like I said, I think he. That boy could sell a CD full of farts.

[Ish]

So if I'm agreeing with you, if.

[Joe Budden]

That'S not happening, then Is this his version of Big Sean after he left wherever he left, or meek after he left wherever he left. Is this what it begins to look like? I still say I'm saying no too, which is why I don't have it at 120.

[Ish]

That matters, bro. The fact that it's listed as party Drake, that matters.

[Joe Budden]

I'm going between 180 and 250.

[Ish]

I think 250 is fair. I think 250. 270 is fair. Yeah, that's what I think.

[Mel]

And we're only talking like in the United States.

[Ish]

First week.

[Parks]

Yeah, okay.

[Ish]

Yeah, we just done the first week number.

[Joe Budden]

Okay, yeah, U.S. but Canada is the U.S. so you're a legend in the.

[Ish]

U.S. gulf of America.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

When last time you been back to Canada? Like 79?

[Mel]

No, not 76.

[Joe Budden]

Honestly, like, how long do you're legend in the six? If my TSA.

[Mel]

I was just there in March shooting a movie.

[Joe Budden]

If my TSA PreCheck expire every five years, how often do you have to update your legend in the six card.

[Mel]

I think that it's set in stone.

[Joe Budden]

You don't talk about it. That's an alley oop. That's an alley oop. That'S an alley oop right there. That shit is cemented. It's dead.

[Ish]

They talking about onto the next generation? I don't know. But your heart, your.

[Joe Budden]

You talk about Mandy.

[Mel]

Wait, hold on. What happened now? Or do I even want to know?

[Joe Budden]

No.

[Mel]

Okay.

[Ish]

All right, let me talk to you.

[Parks]

Talking behind y'all think he bit Freddie Gibbs aesthetic with the rabbits and.

[Joe Budden]

The.

[Ish]

Rabbits, the dollar signs, the font on the. No, I don't think he did. I don't think he bit it.

[Joe Budden]

He might have. He might have.

[Ish]

Bro been making. But if he did, since I was in elementary school, he was. Been doing that.

[Parks]

But the combination of $sign S's with the rabbit, I think.

[Ish]

It wasn't just the rabbits, though. They used a whole bunch of different. He put a whole bunch of pictures up.

[Joe Budden]

You made it a hotline. I made it.

[Ish]

It's funny, though.

[Joe Budden]

If I'm Gibbs, I'm rolling with it.

[Ish]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Joe Budden]

For sure.

[Ish]

I'm gonna roll with it.

[Joe Budden]

You bit my.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Then. Did y'all see that other story going around about them biting the Towers artwork?

[Ish]

The dude that said he spoke to them and. Well, spoke to Party and basically stole his whole concept and everything. I saw it.

[Joe Budden]

Listen, good project, man.

[Parks]

Not bad.

[Ish]

That's all that matters.

[Joe Budden]

That's what I got for you. Who else dropped.

[Ish]

I know Kodak dropped two singles. He's actually.

[Joe Budden]

He.

[Ish]

And clap it up for them. They just signed over to Generation now drama cannon and.

[Parks]

Oh, really?

[Ish]

Kodak. Kodak. Kodak signed. They just announced it. It's a nice move. Yesterday or the day before yesterday, if I'm not mistaken, but I saw a bunch of singles floating around. You know, Everybody ran right to this, though. West side Gun drop.

[Joe Budden]

He did.

[Parks]

He did. I listened to a little bit of it. Sounded dope, but I didn't get through the whole thing.

[Ish]

Yeah, I'm Catch everything else, you know.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. They dropped Shout today.

[Ish]

See, Offset got a single. I want to check that out. I'd like to see where he's at.

[Joe Budden]

Valentine's Day, man. I'll get to it. Yeah, I'll get to it over the weekend. If it's a vibe, if it's some slaps on your. But now, I mean, what you did for Valentine's Day is. Come on.

[Ish]

What I'm doing.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. None you talking about.

[Ish]

He don't play that. He tell us every Year. He don't play that like it's nothing. It's just another. It's another day. He get flowers every week, though.

[Parks]

That's true.

[Flip]

Are you still doing every week flower?

[Ish]

I've been falling off lately. I've been mad busy. But like once a month.

[Flip]

Nice.

[Ish]

Something like that.

[Flip]

Keep it fresh in the crib.

[Joe Budden]

Forehead. Little forehead kiss.

[Flip]

Or just get those.

[Joe Budden]

They last forehead kiss this morning. Hey, hey. This was a forehead kisser.

[Flip]

I sure am.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, yes.

[Ish]

Forehead kisses.

[Flip]

Heartbeat. Good morning.

[Parks]

That's every day.

[Ish]

There you go. Yeah, you don't do that.

[Mel]

Softies.

[Parks]

For sure.

[Joe Budden]

I do. I do the top of the head with up here.

[Ish]

I do both.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I do the top of the head. Oh, no, I do the forehead because killed the. When? When they killed the good morning text, they kind of killed the forehead kiss.

[Ish]

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Mel]

How are the two tied in with each other?

[Joe Budden]

Because they were two. Very sweet.

[Mel]

No, sentimental. The problem women were having with the good morning text is that it was sent to, like, 20 other chicks. It was a group text. It was a group text. That was the issue women had. We do not have issues with affection. But why y'all supposed to know that I'm sorry. That y'all are up at hiding your.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, I have a totally different look on that.

[Ish]

Somebody can send a group text and get caught.

[Joe Budden]

I know. I'm a sicko. So a group text?

[Flip]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

I'm shutting up.

[Ish]

I mean, not a group text.

[Flip]

No.

[Mel]

I actually want to hear your sick mind sometimes. It is very, very fucking entertaining. Please go.

[Joe Budden]

You were thought of, for Christ's sake. I agree.

[Ish]

Do it matter what order you were thought of?

[Joe Budden]

In my morning, there's a sea of women that were not so.

[Ish]

And you might have been fuss if.

[Joe Budden]

You got the good morning text. We talking about the semifinals.

[Ish]

Hey, yo, I'm not even gonna hold you. He good. It's some sick shit that you saying that. That sound like my brain would have never. Yo, you said, yo, dawg, you mad about the one girl I fucked, but you don't know about the 9,000 that I didn't fuck. And in my brain.

[Joe Budden]

And in my brain, I was like.

[Ish]

Yo, this boy is a sicko.

[Joe Budden]

But I just never understood why that was a nut.

[Ish]

So shit.

[Joe Budden]

The good morning text, if it go out to five of y'all, we in the semifinals. One of y'all. Hey. One of y'all. Hey. Good attributes on Trina. Yeah, yeah.

[Ish]

And hold up and keep the playing field even. How many good morning texts was y'all receiving?

[Joe Budden]

And I want to see how all of y'all respond to the good morning text.

[Mel]

Not the point.

[Ish]

Ah, I bet it's.

[Joe Budden]

I bet it's not the point.

[Ish]

Yeah, that's a good one. Yo, yo, you a sicko.

[Mel]

There's only one person I wanted to get it from.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, man.

[Ish]

But what if it wasn't that nigga?

[Mel]

Well, wamp, wamp, wamp.

[Ish]

So why are you mad about the group text?

[Mel]

I'm pissed. Cause I want it from him, and then all the others can.

[Ish]

And he sent it to you and he said, y'all, Keisha, y'all. Yeah, exactly.

[Joe Budden]

Mel, are you up to date with this Anthony Edwards story?

[Mel]

I've seen the shit in the blogs. I read the text messages.

[Joe Budden]

This is Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves. And Aisha, Lil baby's oldest baby moms. I think she's. I want to say 38.

[Ish]

38.

[Joe Budden]

And Anthony Edwards is 23.

[Ish]

23.

[Joe Budden]

And she had a baby.

[Mel]

Yes, I gathered that from the text message.

[Joe Budden]

And it's his.

[Mel]

And it looks like he wants nothing to do with it.

[Flip]

Yeah, he didn't want nothing to do with it.

[Joe Budden]

He told her he didn't want nothing to do with it. I thought that this was deja vu because of the last story that came out where he told, send me the pictures.

[Flip]

Send the video, yo, Just send the.

[Ish]

Video, yo, the video, yo. 150. Whatever, yo, send the video.

[Joe Budden]

So now Aisha has replied to the backlash that she received over the text messages being released, because I guess a lot of people were on her head saying, well, you had a baby with a 23 year old. He told you that he wanted nothing to do with the baby, and you went ahead and had it anyway. So good for you. Let me find her response. She says, and I quote, you have all become so numb, ungrateful, and disrespectful of the ability to reproduce and give life that abortion has become desensitized. You are so accustomed to seeing, hearing, and being raised by women who had to be the village after abandonment that society has normalized cowardly behavior. Now the blame is placed on the woman, on innocent babies, while the man is continuously protected. Hmm. Let me fix that. It's not your fault, sis. It's your body, your choice, and your voice still matters. Although you may have seen your mother, aunts, or grandmothers handle this on their own. They were never supposed to, and neither are you. To the men who have lacked and continue to lack male representation, influence, and accountability, being a man doesn't start and Stop with an erection. Being a father is not optional. After bypassing the preventative measures available to you beforehand. Don't become what your fathers were to your mothers. Conceiving takes two. In that moment, both male and female have choices that determine the outcome of tomorrow. It's everyone's responsibility to make choices they can live with. She goes on to say, I'm happy with mine. My daughter is a gift. Yada, yada, yada. Distinguished panel.

[Ish]

She's right.

[Mel]

She's absolutely right. She is. I mean, a lot of people can look at that, you know, before she says that and ask, why would you have a baby with a man who doesn't want to have a baby with you? But that is not the question to be asked. I mean, it's a logical question, but that's not the question. Exactly. Everything that she stated is what the point is, you know, and also, if he's already found himself in this predicament more than once, then maybe he should be a little bit more responsible so that he doesn't wind up in this position every single time. You know, we talk a lot about how men like him are targets, but if you don't take the moving target off of your back with your own behavior, like, you don't get to. You don't get to, you know, kind of like throw the relationship or, sorry, responsibility off of your shoulders, it still is there. And I think that she's absolutely right. I think the question is always posed on the woman. The burden is always placed at her feet. Rather than asking the guy, why don't you just strap up? Why don't you get a vasectomy? They're reversible. Why don't you do something to be a little proactive about winding up in situations like this that wind up being stressful and then spilled all over the blogs for us to know. All your fucking personal business.

[Ish]

I don't agree with that. Yeah, I don't agree with a lot of that. Yeah, I don't agree with a lot to that.

[Joe Budden]

Go ahead.

[Ish]

You can go first. You got first. She said, first off, we didn't have to know none of this.

[Mel]

We didn't.

[Joe Budden]

That's. That's for starters.

[Ish]

You put this information out there, so, yeah, people are going to comment. That's 1, 2. He doesn't. Not saying right or wrong. And y'all know how I feel about parenthood, but he can literally walk away and just pay for it. He can be on the hook for whatever the state say he gotta pay. And he might be fine with that it's why. The question of why is it always the woman is because y'all the ones that have to actually carry the child. Y'all the ones that have to actually go through the birthing process. Men can have. He could have five other girls pregnant all at the exact same time right now. Again, I'm not saying none of this is correct. I'm just saying it is easier for the. If he wants to be a piece of shit and walk away and not deal with it, he can do it. Now, I think she's asking why is society okay with that? And that's a whole bigger question.

[Mel]

But that's what I'm addressing, is that she's acknowledging the societal issue. That's number one. And number two, there's a woman who would end up in this situation and be like, I am definitely not having your fucking child. I don't know you. You don't know me.

[Joe Budden]

That.

[Mel]

That's gross. Whatever. But then there's other people who. That offends everything about their sensibilities. Their sensibilities, their morals, et cetera. And so if they feel like life needs to be protected and regardless of how it happened, like, there's people who have been, you know, sexually assaulted who keep the baby because of their views on abortion. So the fact of the matter is, we don't know why she's. You know, she's making the choice, and it's her choice to make.

[Ish]

Absolutely.

[Mel]

But we. She's also highlighting the fact that this is not. This.

[Joe Budden]

This is.

[Mel]

This is extraordinarily common. And the response is what's common? And the response is what needs to be. The thought process around it needs to be reframed.

[Ish]

Let me just. Let me just please finish. And then we saw this play out with him before publicly. So does she. So now that's. So she saw that. So my thing is, why are you even fucking this dude? That moves that way. That's why. But that's why people need to be acknowledged, and that's why people are coming at her. Okay, you know, this is how he moves. We've seen it. You still. Him got pregnant and he did it again. He just had a documentary where he has a family and a girlfriend and all of these other things.

[Mel]

So he doesn't have any respect for his family and his girlfriend to stop sleeping with other women unprotected.

[Ish]

So she didn't have respect for his family and her femininity.

[Mel]

I don't. I.

[Flip]

Here's what I got to say about this. Excuse me. First and foremost, we're missing the point that he's 23, she's 38.

[Ish]

Exactly. That's a huge point.

[Flip]

We, we don't want to acknowledge that sometimes when a woman reaches a certain age, if she gets pregnant, she wants to keep the baby because she doesn't know if she's gonna get pregnant again.

[Ish]

That's true.

[Flip]

You know, that's the mind frame that they go through to do. But we have to acknowledge that he's 23, she's 38, he has a pattern of this and she should know better. Meaning like she should have made the decision to either not sleep with this young man or make sure he wraps it up. What do you expect a 23 year old who's just getting all this money to say, especially if he shows a pattern of not wanting children. Now you become complicit because you think in your mind, either I can change them or I'm looking for a come up.

[Ish]

And that's what a lot of people tend to do.

[Flip]

And that's what a lot of people. We've seen this story before with the same individual. It's not like you caught him out of nowhere. We don't know it. We've seen this pattern. And if you see a pattern and you become part of a pattern, you're complicit in the pattern.

[Ish]

So to your point, when you're saying that my thing. Cause I agree with a lot of what the lady said.

[Flip]

Me too.

[Ish]

My thing be this. Why is the onus on the man to be the person for protecting? I think it should, the responsibility should fall on both parties.

[Mel]

But that's what she said. She's saying the onus really, that's. She's responding to the criticism largely being placed at her feet and saying, you guys, nobody ever puts the onus on the guy.

[Ish]

And I said, I agree with you.

[Mel]

Right.

[Ish]

But when you started to speak, you said, yo, the dudes are having unprotected sex. No, the parties are having unprotected sex.

[Mel]

No, I know that.

[Ish]

So in that the same way she could say, yo, fuck you, you had a baby with me unprotected, he can say not saying that. It's right. To Ice's point, he could say, fuck you. Yeah, but I told you I ain't want to have a baby, so I don't want nothing to do with it. And the only thing it does is leave another fatherless child in the streets.

[Mel]

Right?

[Ish]

So she's really not speaking to the societal issues. Because when you laid down with that dude and decided to have unprotected sex with that dude. Y'all both knew the potential consequences. But I think in her 38 year old brain, she also knew that they were never gonna be a family and they never gonna be in a relationship.

[Mel]

I don't know what.

[Ish]

So you are lending to the societal detriment of fatherless kids.

[Mel]

I have no idea what she, what she was thinking when she was, when she got involved with him. I have no idea what he was thinking when he was getting involved with her. I really don't know. But by using her age against her, you know, she's this age and he's that age. We can look at who. Which Jaylen is it? That's with Drea. He seems to be very happy with her. He posts her all day long like they look like they're in a very involved relationship. So I don't think that the age factor really actually plays a role here because it's not just that he's 23, he has a girlfriend and he has a family. So he's mature enough to have created the family with the girl of his choice, but he's still outside screwing other women unprotected.

[Joe Budden]

Are you talking about Anthony Edwards?

[Mel]

I'm just going based off what he just said about him having a family.

[Joe Budden]

If I just want to correct. It doesn't take maturity to come in somebody zero.

[Mel]

Trust me, I know.

[Flip]

Hold on. But if it was the other way.

[Ish]

Around, I was going to say that.

[Flip]

We blame the men.

[Ish]

I was going to say that would the woman have been enough mature at 20 years old, fresh out of college to be dealing with a 38 year old man? We wouldn't look at it like she was mature enough to be making all these responsible decisions. The word grooming would start floating around. And once you factor in how they say that women mature faster than men and all of that. So she ain't even 38. She's way older than that. And he in the mind of 18 year old, he's an 8.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Mel]

Okay.

[Ish]

It's even bigger gap.

[Joe Budden]

I want to take the time to shout out the women out there that be like, listen, if I come to my man and say I'm pregnant, I want him to be just as ecstatic as I am. And if I don't get that response, then it's a sign and I'mma go ahead and yeah, this ain't for me.

[Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Yes.

[Flip]

Those are the ones. Those are the ones.

[Ish]

Fetus deleted.

[Flip]

Magically delicious.

[Ish]

Fetus Deletus.

[Joe Budden]

Yes. I mean, oh, those are the ones.

[Flip]

That walk straight past the. In front of the clinic, they walk straight like they in the army.

[Joe Budden]

I gotta shout them out. Hey, hey was written all over my face. I have to say, y'all, she don't.

[Flip]

Let them stop her. But they try to hug her in the beginning. Bitch, if you don't get the fuck out my way. Let me get inside.

[Ish]

Some girl tweeted yesterday. She was like, I'd have been. He'd have been calling me. I done already argued with the white people out front. I'm inside.

[Joe Budden]

Where you niggas yo meet me or beat me here.

[Flip]

They apply pressure, the white people. But we talking about the ones that get past him.

[Ish]

That's what she said. The ones that get right past Herman, they determined.

[Flip]

They determined to go inside.

[Ish]

They determine to go inside like the Jackal.

[Flip]

I just feel like the double standards play a role in this.

[Ish]

And that's the thing. Like, I can see. I totally understand. And I think that the lady has a ton of valid points. She does, she does.

[Flip]

She does.

[Ish]

Right? So. But I also think that a lot of that blame is on her as well. I think that it's a two, a two party thing. I don't think that it's just him being wrong or her being wrong. It's both of them. But. But when you put your shit out on front street to the public, then the criticism is going to be, yeah.

[Joe Budden]

That'S my take on that. I do think it's both of them.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

That's why I'm kind of just on mute and letting y'all have the conversation because.

[Ish]

And I put a little more on her than I normally would. Not saying it's all her fault. Put a little bit more on her because A, you're older and more mature than you know, and B, we've seen this with him before. She has too. No, I'm saying when I say she got a baby with Lil baby, right? Yes. How old is lil baby? 30 now, something like that.

[Joe Budden]

I don't know the status or none of that.

[Ish]

No, I'm just saying. No, but I'm just saying. And I'm just talking about with Anthony Edwards, though. If you've seen how this person, it wasn't five years ago he did this, this was last year. Anthony Edwards is a kid, bro, we.

[Flip]

Got to call it.

[Joe Budden]

Because I thought she handled herself well in her text messages to him. But you're texting a 23 year old old dude. That's 300 M's up. You can see you don't want Kids.

[Ish]

Look at his responses. Look at his responses.

[Joe Budden]

He's like, kick rocks.

[Ish]

So look. Let me.

[Joe Budden]

Laughing, she said, maybe this could be a learning experience. He said, I don't want to learn.

[Ish]

Let me ask you this.

[Joe Budden]

So imagine trying to get.

[Ish]

So imagine what their. Their conversations were like over dinner.

[Joe Budden]

I'm with you.

[Ish]

You get what I'm saying? Like, imagine what their conversations were like when they were in that quote, unquote, getting to know each other feed. Which leads more to. I saw a lick.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, my God, I saw a lick.

[Ish]

Not saying that's the case. It might not be, but it leads more to that than. I was really building something here with this guy, and I thought we were gonna be together. No. I got pregnant. And now you're leaving me. It don't look like that.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, but it's worded, right? Like she had an encyclopedia. Gotta be careful about them girls that chap.

[Ish]

GPT be a motherfucker. Oh, no, that shit nice. I heard that chat GPT. LGBT is the truth.

[Joe Budden]

It is the truth.

[Mel]

Yeah, it's pretty great.

[Joe Budden]

You judging us?

[Mel]

Huh?

[Joe Budden]

Are you judging us?

[Mel]

No, not. No. I've used chat gbt. Not to. Not for a response.

[Joe Budden]

The other stuff.

[Ish]

Come on. You're a legend. You come on.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. I ain't gonna lie. We be saying next time, a whole legend from Canada, from the.

[Flip]

Is it bullshit? I mean, the only time it becomes. It's not bullshit.

[Joe Budden]

Right?

[Flip]

Like, we have to. Mel is the only lady here, so. Woman here. So we understand her sentiments and we respect it. We have our thoughts as well. We seen this play out before. And when it's the other way around, we heard what people said about the men that look predatory, that look like they're grooming the younger women. You know, better. You know, she's young. You know, she just came out of college.

[Ish]

She grew up in this.

[Flip]

You know this, you know that. You know she's not capable of being a responsible mother. Like, I've heard so many excuses when it's the other way around. I just want the same grace e to be extended to when it's. When it's this way as well.

[Ish]

Yeah. And I don't think it's a gender thing.

[Flip]

I don't think it's a gender thing.

[Joe Budden]

It ain't. Cause if it was me, I would just come out, I caught a lick. Gotti gotta Gotti got one Gotti. You should have known better.

[Flip]

Yeah, everybody ain't Dre.

[Joe Budden]

I wouldn't have worded it all. Pretty societal standards that have you looking at it.

[Flip]

That's just how you.

[Joe Budden]

I caught that young slipping. And I'm on the ride for the next four contracts.

[Flip]

Hey, yo, Dre. I got that. Smiling at his birthday. Whatever she doing, she doing that from the back trick. He's smiling with the K. I said this happy mother. I ain't like that.

[Joe Budden]

And it's time for our favorite. Favorite part of the show. Did y'all see the Ruby Rose Prize Picks commercial?

[Parks]

No.

[Ish]

No.

[Mel]

Did it happen during Super Bowl?

[Joe Budden]

Yo, look at y'all. Look at y'all. Shout out to Ruby Rose, friend of the show. Big rule. You went up there. Just see it yourself. Look at y'all. Anyway, Prizepix is the best place to get real cash money sports action. With over 10 million members and billions of dollars in awarded winnings, Prizepix has made daily fantasy sports accessible to all. It's really simple and easy to play. All you have to do is pick more or less on at least two players for a shot to win up to 1000 times your cash. And this weekend is All Star Weekend. It is here again, I have absolutely zero idea who's on what in the festivities. Yeah, I don't know who's in the three point contest, the dunk contest, or the skills contest. I've been footballed out. I've been super bowled out. I don't know who's. Adam Silva changed the rules again for how they picked the teams this year. I don't know.

[Ish]

Yeah, they went back. They stopped doing the captain shit.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I'm a Knick fan, so give me Jalen Brunson and Karlie Anthony Towns for whatever. Yeah, yeah. It's All Star weekend. They about to go out there and score 300 points to be non competitive. Do y'all think the All Star Game is more competitive this year than it's been in recent years? Because I think that's why they changed the rules.

[Parks]

I think all the All Star games and at least in football and basketball, people don't really care.

[Ish]

Yeah, they used to. You know what? Yeah, they used to back in the fourth quarter. Especially like Kobe. Fourth quarter. They came first quarter was. Was. Was exhibition.

[Mel]

You know, all the activities, too, like the dunk contest. I haven't heard anyone really talk about that in Matt McClung years. Years.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, give me McClung. I know he's in there. I know he could jump.

[Ish]

He can jump.

[Joe Budden]

And they got him on the magic or some team just so he could participate.

[Ish]

That's it. Yep.

[Joe Budden]

Come on. Give me McClung for the dunk. Contest. That's funny.

[Ish]

That's hilarious.

[Joe Budden]

And I still don't know who's in three.

[Ish]

I don't know nothing, bro, but it's fine.

[Joe Budden]

Prize picks is the best place to win real cash while watching your favorite players. Or not. So, favorite players during the game and during Saturday night's activities like the three point contest, the dunk contest and the skills contest.

[Parks]

Oh, here we go.

[Joe Budden]

All right, give it to me.

[Parks]

This is the field for the three point contest. Dame. Buddy Heald, Darius Garland, Norman Powell, Cam Johnson, Tyler Herro. Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham.

[Joe Budden]

Jalen Brunson's in a three point contest?

[Ish]

Yes, apparently.

[Joe Budden]

Dang, you know how bad the All Star game has to be? I mean, a dunk contest has to be for the three point contest to totally steal.

[Parks]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ish]

No, that's not true. That's where the basketball is today. That's the highlight. The 7 foot 5 want to shoot threes.

[Joe Budden]

Well, no. And the Stars are doing the three point contest.

[Ish]

And because that's where the shit is, bro. I had people tell me that a 30 foot three pointer is more exciting than somebody getting dumped.

[Parks]

Damn. It's only four people contest.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Cause they all make it to the second round.

[Parks]

Mattis Bouzilis, Stefan Castle, Andre Jackson Jr. And McClung.

[Joe Budden]

I like Castle as a player. I like Castle as a player for the Spurs.

[Ish]

Listen, they're gonna have a dunk contest before the Rising Stars Challenge. Now they're gonna move the dunk contest to Friday.

[Joe Budden]

Give me Jalen Brunson in the three point contest too, because I'm a Knick fan. How about the fact that's the only reason why. And give me, and give me. Give me McClung. Give me the white boy that could jump. If you download the app today and use promo code JBP, you get $50 instantly after your first five dollar lineup.

[Ish]

I'm going with Tala. Hero is a three with. Yeah, Dame.

[Joe Budden]

All right.

[Ish]

Dame is Dame, though going Tyler, what else we got?

[Joe Budden]

What else we got? That's important. Unimportant. Anybody have any idea why the Big Meech concert is canceled?

[Flip]

50 said don't ask him about it. He wish everybody the best. He has nothing to do with it. He was the first one to post that quick.

[Ish]

And then he also said I'm more powerful Than, you know, think or something like that around went down there to the venue. Niggas like, yo, double your amount to buy out the venue on that night.

[Flip]

I mean. I mean, this is.

[Ish]

I like these niggas that got money.

[Flip]

Like that, yo, hey, I ain't gonna lie. This is a shit show. What I mean is that, like, when you first heard that 50 took on a big Meech project, I mean, it was exciting, you know, the success of bmf. You like, damn. And then now these guys come home. You see it with T, Southwest T, when he first came home and that situation happened, and you're like, ah, maybe it'll be different with big Meech. And then now this whole Big Meech thing. I mean, 50, he is a petty guy, and he feels like if you take pictures with anybody, he got beef with, you got beef with him.

[Parks]

That was a good show, too.

[Flip]

Yeah, it was.

[Ish]

Yo. That's the really bad part.

[Flip]

Like, some of us. Some of us. And I love fif. Some of us are so in tune with our morals of what we believe in that we'll destroy the whole building. We don't care. Nigga, if you do that, I'mma X this whole shit. I ax this whole shit because we don't want to go back to what makes us think that way. But that's just what it is.

[Ish]

And I don't need the money.

[Mel]

Yeah, but what's unfortunate is how many people lose in this situation. All the actors.

[Ish]

No.

[Mel]

All the crew writers. All the writers. Everybody.

[Parks]

The gaffers. No one thinks about the gaffers.

[Mel]

Nobody ever thinks about the fucking gaffers. Show can't be done without the fucking gaffers.

[Flip]

What are gaffers?

[Mel]

Lighting.

[Ish]

The lighting people behind the scenes. Oh, lighting like dog, Cash doll. You know what I'm saying? Like, we had her up here. She was killing the world.

[Flip]

She was shot the CAS like, dog.

[Ish]

Like all of those people. That was an opportunity even for little Meech dawg. That was an opportunity for him to now potentially take that and run with it. Like, he could have been in a movie next year or two years or three years, whatever the case may be. I think it's just unfortunate.

[Joe Budden]

Do y'all think Lil Meech's acting career continue to go up? Continues to go up even without the show bmf?

[Ish]

Yeah, I think so. I think he's shown range. No. Cause he has only had one role. I think he's shown his ability to act on screen. And I think that you can expound upon that. Like, we've seen a lot of people only do one movie, dog. We saw Michael K. Williams, you know what I'm saying? And his range was insane. But people still call him Omar today from the ym. You get what I'm saying? So we didn't think that he could necessarily pull off Boardwalk Empire or pull off some of these other potential roles, but Country Meech. Yeah, like, Meech could potentially do that. I'm not. You know what I'm saying? Michael K. Williams is a really talented dude, so I'm not putting Meech at his level. I'm just saying that with some more. No, I wasn't doing that. Never jump in. No, no, no. I'm just saying that with some training or with some experience, a little roll here, a little roll there. Get a shot. We see fucking Joey Badass. He's doing his thing.

[Parks]

Yeah, but he's had roles other than.

[Ish]

He's had other roles. But I'm just saying his range is there. But I'm just.

[Joe Budden]

I don't see a big dog.

[Ish]

Like I said, he needs.

[Mel]

He needs a good agent. That's what he needs. He needs a real good agent.

[Ish]

He has to get a good shot.

[Joe Budden]

I don't even know that acting is this guy's passion.

[Parks]

Yeah, I was gonna say it depends on him.

[Joe Budden]

I don't know if he wants to continue to do that. There's the story of 50 paying for the acting classes and the acting coach. And in this role where it's my dad and this story, it's my legacy here. Yes, I'll do this, but I mean. I mean, I've done seen him carrying a lot of groceries in the time that bmf, the show has been out. I know what it's like to carry groceries. Like, he's been carrying groceries for his cousin.

[Ish]

Guess what took him to the Acme.

[Flip]

That what?

[Ish]

BMF might have got him to the Acme to get the groceries, yo.

[Flip]

What?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. All right, but we saying the same shit. That's like the nigga that put out the hit single, and now I'm in the club every night shaking my ass. Yeah, but that don't tell me that. That don't tell me how on your craft you are. You are.

[Ish]

But guess what it tells me? That's when they get back in the stew.

[Flip]

When that money starts against the wall.

[Ish]

When that money start going away, and when Shorty don't know who you are. Now I want to go back in the stool and do it again. If I'm passion, though, whatever the case.

[Joe Budden]

May be, I'm just saying I don't know that his passion is there. I've seen too many BMF scenes where he had an in ear in. Like, I'm not.

[Mel]

That's nuts.

[Joe Budden]

The field is tough. Like Joey Badass. I know. Put in the work and it shows.

[Ish]

And you gotta compete against all these London niggas. They taking over the place.

[Flip]

They taking over, boy.

[Joe Budden]

I think he'll get another shot because it was a role that people are familiar with. And if he wants another shot, he'll get it. But I think that will be the test.

[Mel]

You saw him with the IFB in his ear?

[Joe Budden]

Yes. He had an in ear in multiple scenes. Really? Yes. At some of them points, they wasn't even trying to hide it.

[Mel]

Did they play it off like it was a hearing aid?

[Ish]

No.

[Joe Budden]

No.

[Mel]

Okay.

[Ish]

No.

[Joe Budden]

So I just don't know if we listen to 50. If we listen to 50, then you already. Y'all ran through the money. He said that?

[Ish]

That's what he's saying. Cause they was basically saying Meech was doing it for a bag. The ship with Ross, they were saying that he was doing it for the bag. Until the new seat. Big Meat. Until the season started. And then, you know, I guess they would have gotten.

[Joe Budden]

See, to me, if all of that is true. Huge misstep. True.

[Ish]

On whose behalf?

[Joe Budden]

Theirs?

[Ish]

Theirs? Thousand percent.

[Joe Budden]

Or me to them?

[Ish]

Thousand percent.

[Joe Budden]

If I'm waiting for my bag, you.

[Ish]

Not even know where my brain going.

[Joe Budden]

If I'm waiting for my bag. And for the next season, so this can continue a certain way, I'll pass on the I just came home money from all the rappers.

[Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Like, if it's time for me to fasten my belt, I'm gonna tighten my belt. I'm not gonna play both.

[Ish]

I don't think that he thought. I don't think they thought it out. I just don't think that they thought that 50 would respond with such vigor. I don't think they thought that. You get what I'm saying? Like, I think they had to do it all over again. And knowing what was at stake, you don't make that same choice. But I don't think that they thought he was gonna respond like that.

[Joe Budden]

Why?

[Flip]

A lot of niggas.

[Joe Budden]

So then that's two stories in the. Where adults don't do their homework.

[Ish]

I don't see that because he just saw it happen with his brother. With T, it just happened. So if we saw how he reacted with a picture with somebody I don't like over there, maybe I Don't take a picture with somebody. It was a recourse.

[Flip]

Them OG drug dealing, think that they feel that they're bosses and nobody could. You know, I'm self.

[Ish]

Nobody can't tell me.

[Flip]

Nobody can tell me what to do.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, that exists too.

[Ish]

That is it.

[Joe Budden]

I'm talking through the lens of Joe Budden.

[Flip]

But I also.

[Ish]

Ego thing.

[Flip]

I also wanna say this. It comes down to the people not knowing how to preserve their money. Like, we've seen the same thing with Buck, you know, shout out to him. Like, we just seen people that, you know, when they get in bed with 50 and 50 would give you the money and you go through it, you know, you run through it quickly. And then now when it's time to double back, you might fuck up. And he said, yo, nigga, like, I gave you the opportunity.

[Joe Budden]

I gave.

[Flip]

You had the bread.

[Ish]

And we don't know how much money they got paid, too.

[Flip]

I mean, what 50.

[Joe Budden]

I'm only going by what 50 said.

[Ish]

I don't know nothing. How much money he got?

[Joe Budden]

He said, y'all ran through over $5 million. Legal. Legal money.

[Mel]

That's crazy.

[Flip]

If that's.

[Joe Budden]

How long do. How long you think it would take you to run through $5 million?

[Ish]

It depends on your circumstances.

[Joe Budden]

You. I'm Right now. He's not gonna run through.

[Ish]

I ain't gonna run through y'all.

[Flip]

I ain't gonna run through.

[Mel]

That would sustain the rest of my life.

[Joe Budden]

No, you're not trying to run through it.

[Ish]

All I'm about to say. Am I trying to run through.

[Joe Budden]

Cause I could.

[Mel]

That would sustain me for the rest of my life. You same ab. Absolutely. Absolutely. This business today is feast, famine, feast, famine. I have gotten adjusted to the feast, and I've gotten adjusted to famine. I can. I've sustained on $10,000 for six months at certain points in my life. So, yes, 5 million would be amazing. We're not even. We're not even going to get into that. Sometimes strangers plays a role in this.

[Parks]

A lot of dates.

[Mel]

Corey, you don't have a mic. Stop it right now.

[Joe Budden]

Okay. Free food.

[Flip]

I'm glad you did that.

[Ish]

Free food.

[Joe Budden]

I was about to say 5 million for life without pretty girl.

[Mel]

Perks I could do.

[Flip]

No, but she just probably a good.

[Joe Budden]

Because that has to be accounted for. Mandy. Oh, man, Fuck you talking about Mandy?

[Mel]

You go, boss man.

[Flip]

Mandy was shooting.

[Joe Budden]

No, Mandy didn't shoot. Well, I guess I don't know if she's shooting now or not, but I just saw one tweet where she Said to somebody, I make more than male. And I was like, well, either you males tax lady, or there's a few things that you're not accounting for.

[Mel]

I guess maybe.

[Joe Budden]

And it could still be true.

[Mel]

I guess maybe she's still up here.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Mel]

Because she don't know what the fuck's going on in my. My life and what other revenue streams I have. She is. You're right. She is not my tax attorney. But if she's talking about up here, compared to being on her podcast, it is entirely possible that she is absolutely right.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. But you gotta factor in what happens when both of y'all walk into Leo DiCaprio's house.

[Ish]

What's that? Why is that a conversation?

[Joe Budden]

Oh, I don't know. I don't know.

[Ish]

All right, but Leo, 5 mil. I won't never. I won't never.

[Joe Budden]

No.

[Ish]

That matters when they both walk in quit Joe's crib.

[Flip]

Not Leo.

[Mel]

No, Leo.

[Ish]

No, no, not. Not.

[Joe Budden]

Not when we both walk in Brad Pitt's crib.

[Ish]

You can say Brad Pitt, Leo, Mel.

[Mel]

Leo saying, what's up, Mel?

[Flip]

He is saying, what's up to you.

[Mel]

Never told my Leo stories up here, and I decided I wasn't going to.

[Flip]

It's a vibrant thing.

[Ish]

I could tell you ain't getting a vibrant thing. The joke was, Leo DiCaprio don't want Mel or I got y'all.

[Joe Budden]

But then I heard what a legend from the Six said. Y'all, y'all just chat. Then I heard what alleged from that.

[Flip]

Find it.

[Joe Budden]

When I walk in, Leo's like, oh, hey, Mel, how have you been?

[Flip]

Is he best friends with Q Tip? Mel? Is that his best friend? One of them, anyway. Mel connected.

[Joe Budden]

That's just me be. What are we talking about? Yourself.

[Flip]

Three degrees of connection.

[Mel]

What are we talking about? Oh, me too.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, listen.

[Ish]

Five mil and then that shit for your family.

[Joe Budden]

All right? So Mel says 5mil for the rest of their life.

[Ish]

For one person like Meech's, they sister is like executive producer of the show. Little Meech got some money. I'm sure the other guys got some money.

[Joe Budden]

Nigga, if it's six of us and we got 5 million.

[Ish]

Not if you started. Not if you was fucked up when you got that money. $5 million don't last a long time.

[Joe Budden]

Buy you some eggs, though.

[Ish]

You get some eggs and some turkey.

[Joe Budden]

Bacon to go with them.

[Ish]

But what I'm saying.

[Joe Budden]

Freeze. How long did it take you? Real, real quick before we close? I just want to ask everybody.

[Ish]

I can make it last a couple years.

[Joe Budden]

A couple is two. So how many?

[Ish]

No, no, no, no. I'm. I'm talking five. Yeah, Five. Five plus five.

[Joe Budden]

Five. Five to ten.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Sparks.

[Parks]

Life for life. Yeah.

[Mel]

Because you guys have.

[Parks]

I'm still working, right?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Parks]

Oh, yeah.

[Mel]

So, yeah. Question.

[Ish]

I'm not just. That's not it.

[Joe Budden]

You said.

[Ish]

I thought you were saying that's it, just a five mil.

[Joe Budden]

No, I'm not asking how long it would take you to run through it.

[Ish]

I'm not gonna run through it. No. I'll never run through it. I'm not gonna run through it. If I'm still working. I still got everything else going. I'm not.

[Joe Budden]

I'm not running through three years for you, Flip.

[Flip]

Three years.

[Ish]

I'm taking four of that and I'm gonna be Simone Bowse. Flippy, flippy, flippy. Nah, three not. Fuck you going to the heights to get it.

[Flip]

Yeah.

[Ish]

What your man. I'm done with the roost. I'm done with the chickens and all of them.

[Joe Budden]

They said you flipping them.

[Flip]

They should fuck around by a block, not that Flip.

[Joe Budden]

Nah, the five is two and a half. And the five is two and a half.

[Ish]

I ain't even think about that. Not for me.

[Mel]

Are you talking about what, taxes?

[Ish]

Yeah, no, it wouldn't be for me.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, yeah. Cause you.

[Ish]

It wouldn't be.

[Joe Budden]

I can't. I can't have no fun. Stop. Yo, I can't have fun.

[Ish]

I'm not even talking about. Cause of that.

[Flip]

Hey, yo, listen, real quick, real quick issue. I had billionaire Grant Cardone on my spaces talking to me about.

[Ish]

Grant Cardone came in your space?

[Flip]

Yeah, he was on my spaces, talking to me, vibing with me, and he stated that single family homes are the worst investment to buy.

[Ish]

They're not investments at all.

[Flip]

Yeah, that's what he said. He said to buy units. So I thought about that. When you just talking about that. I said, yo, I could see. I didn't shout you out. I should. Next time I will, but you know.

[Ish]

What I mean, that's fucked up.

[Parks]

Foot told us that years ago. I mean, Ish told us that years ago. Go.

[Flip]

Yeah, it shout out to you, cuz I remember and I see you if you get the 5 mil, I see you buying a whole Jersey block. I see you doing some Baltimore.

[Ish]

You ain't buying no Jersey, blocking no new for the Baltimore.

[Flip]

And you may set it on fire. Like, what's his name? He said that on fire. I mean, cut the ribbon, yo.

[Joe Budden]

This guy's nuts.

[Flip]

My, you got to tell me that Scam son, just tell me what come with that. The whole. Come on. You cut the ribbon in.

[Joe Budden]

What are y'all talking about?

[Ish]

Your man, he's crazy, okay? He said with $5 million, I would go buy a Jersey block. And I'm saying, you can't buy no block in Jersey for no $5 million. This is response. And he said, well, show me Baltimore. Show me like, your man that bought some shit and then set it on fire. I don't know who he's talking about.

[Flip]

He didn't set it on fire, but I'm talking about Tank when he bought the whole block in Baltimore. And then the next week, the shit was on. Fly it, Flames.

[Joe Budden]

It needs it.

[Ish]

All right?

[Joe Budden]

And these are the moments to help us to get to 800, man. These are the moments.

[Flip]

I'm not clapping at that.

[Joe Budden]

Why don't. Why you not clapping? I'm dead ass. Those are the moments.

[Ish]

You're being sarcastic.

[Joe Budden]

I'm not.

[Flip]

This magic moment.

[Joe Budden]

Flip, what'd you get your wife for Valentine's Day?

[Flip]

Nothing. I had an attitude this morning because she made fun of my DAT ticket. Like, yo, I said, yo, come through, sit in the car with me. What's the DAT ticket desk appearance ticket that I got from the other day from being locked up for the suspended license. So it's like. It's like a ror. They let you out from the precinct? So I said I wanted you to come with me. It's Valentine's Day, you know, she's like, I gotta go to work. I'll take the train. I'll take the train. I'll drive down there with you. But she didn't want to sit down there. She didn't want to sit with me. So during the ride, it was quiet until I got to the tunnel. I'm like, yo, yo, why you? Like, what's up, man? Why you couldn't just take off and stay with me? But anyway, then I asked her what she wanted for Valentine's Day. She didn't tell me what she want. And I'm just saying, I've been.

[Ish]

You asked her this morning what she.

[Flip]

Wants Valentine's Day for a couple of days. She talking about surprise me. Then she gonna send me a text like, yo, yes, I was really asking. I want you and money, but I got you already, so give me the money. Like, stuff like that. I don't wanna play like that. Like, girl, like, what we doing inviting.

[Parks]

Your wife to court for Valentine's Day? It's also.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, what? It's five.

[Ish]

Nah, nigga, you Just.

[Flip]

When you go from a car with an alternator, 1976 Nova to a now electric into an Escalade, like, some of the women are on the ride with you on that journey, and when they on that journey and they know that you got the bread, or they see they got the bread up, they feel like they entitled to that wish in some instance, you may be entitled to that. But me, no, I want to know everything. I don't give a fuck how much money came in. I don't give a fuck what I do, but I don't. I do what.

[Ish]

No, he's not saying. He's saying that's bullshit, what he's saying. But that don't mean the ICE don't stand on the other side of that.

[Joe Budden]

If you and your partner are for real, like. I'm not talking about Play. Play.

[Ish]

No, no, no.

[Joe Budden]

For real. Then Your for real partner is in there. Whether she know how much you make or not.

[Ish]

True.

[Joe Budden]

With eyes, ears and a functioning brain, most times, if you've been together for a while, they've also seen some escalation.

[Flip]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

Some ascension, hopefully. Yeah, Hopefully, I would think, in that when it's gift time or when it's time to pay time.

[Ish]

Spend.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. When it's time to pay time. Let me not say gift time. When it's just time to pay time. That's your time. It's not her time.

[Joe Budden]

I'm with you there. So then what did you need my.

[Ish]

Explanation about maybe I'm missing?

[Flip]

Salute to the growth.

[Joe Budden]

It's just saying his wife is out there just swiping. My girl is doing the same type of shit.

[Ish]

See, this is the two differences. I'm agreeing with everything you said. I'm laughing, I'm making jokes. We try to be funny, but yeah.

[Joe Budden]

You pay for St. Tropez in the spa.

[Ish]

My business is different than your business.

[Joe Budden]

And the bar up there.

[Ish]

My business. Business is different than your business.

[Flip]

You got more in that.

[Ish]

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying how the money. Yeah, you do got more money than me. Correct.

[Flip]

That you got a black car.

[Joe Budden]

But each of these conversations are relative to the people that's having it.

[Ish]

True. Listen to what I'm saying. I'm saying that in my business, I spend a lot of money that it might take me a minute to get back.

[Joe Budden]

Same thing.

[Ish]

Your business is a little different than mine.

[Joe Budden]

That's all I'm saying, is that I'm telling.

[Ish]

So, like what Mel said it be feast and famine sometimes. Sometimes it's family in my house. But she don't know that.

[Joe Budden]

So she's like.

[Ish]

And that's what happens. That's it.

[Flip]

You look.

[Ish]

I get that.

[Joe Budden]

That. That is only flying. But not so long. That is a crock of.

[Ish]

It's not true.

[Joe Budden]

To your partner who's in the house with eyes, ears and a brain.

[Ish]

Let me tell you what happens in my household. My stresses that I'm going through. My girl won't know nothing about it at all.

[Joe Budden]

Fact.

[Ish]

My girl won't know nothing. I could have $20 in my account. My girl know I got $20 in my account.

[Joe Budden]

Well, you don't. That's true. Well, you don't because you keep talking to me like it's 89. And that's what y'all keep trying to get off in the household. And if y'all get it off then. I don't want to ruin it on.

Not only before net 90. Your girl is in there knowing math. Joe, you know that. Your girl is smart.

[Ish]

You're wrong.

And I was like, I'm not contributing to that fucking shit. That was this. That was my. My conviction at the time. I do believe that there are certain people that we make famous and they should not be famous.

We could. After the fourth one. We could. Yeah.

[Parks]

Okay.

[Ish]

Cause the fifth one wasn't nothing.

[Joe Budden]

We can have that conversation. I think that was a good conversation. The one that I. Yeah, yeah.

[Ish]

It was a scene in. In the last episode where Cal, who is the.

[Joe Budden]

The president, talking about the television show Paradise. Where is Paradise? Where can they find. Is on Hulu. This is. What's my man name?

[Mel]

Sterling K. Brown.

[Joe Budden]

Sterling K. Brown. That's right.

[Ish]

And Cal was having a young, young. Spoiler alert. This is the fifth episode that we about to talk about. Out. Which is the newest one.

[Joe Budden]

Out.

[Ish]

Young. Younger. Kyle. Cal. Excuse Me was having a conversation with his father and his dad was basically like, he was telling him, yo, I don't want to deal with any of this. I want to go to school to be a teacher. Teacher. I want to go be a teacher in school. And the father was like, nah, you come from a long line of men who have accomplished things. You're going to accomplish things. You can pick either this school or this school. You're going to go here. I'm sorry, no, you can pick either this senator or governor or governor said you could pick or senator for the Democrats, but you're going into politics. And then after that, then we'll look into other offices. So you're gonna accomplish great things, even if I have to drag you there to get there. Like, fuck that. You're not gonna live a mediocre life and some teacher teaching them. Catch her in the ride. No, this is what you're going to do.

[Joe Budden]

And your grandchildren and your great grandchildren, children will thank you. Said and done. And he was really powerful scene. It really was really powerful scene.

[Ish]

And then even the scenes that proceed, I mean, that came after that, that were based on that.

[Joe Budden]

Well, yeah, because now we understand why this guy has been depressed, drinking, like miserable. And yeah, it explained a lot.

[Ish]

And it also. The other powerful scene in that was the grandson.

[Mel]

The grandson when the father mistakes him for.

[Ish]

And now they're both having a conversation with. With who they think is Cal. So we left out some pieces.

[Joe Budden]

Well, we wasn't trying to explain the show. The portion that we were focusing on.

[Mel]

Was the legacy conversation.

[Joe Budden]

Yes.

[Ish]

And the one that came after. Well, it's really. Well, go ahead. It's three. But in that same thing, the old dude told his son, I'mma make you do this. You don't have an option in your path. I'm going to make you choose this path. The subsequent. The next scene, he tells the son, when the son said, yo, were you ever proud of me? Of anything? And he tells the son, no, because everything that you got, I did it right. So you made me choose this path, but then you still condemn me because you made me go down this path that I didn't want to fucking go down. And then you penalized me when you said everything you did, I did for you. You get what I'm saying?

[Mel]

Which is fucked up because it's not true. He had to execute, you know, and he could have messed up along the way. He executed the plan and ended up in the direction because he could have fucked up. He just.

[Ish]

He might not have Let him fucked up. I don't think so.

[Joe Budden]

Our conversation is about legacy.

[Ish]

I think the father's right and wrong. I think that sometimes for our kids. I did a job one time for this rich couple and their son wanted to go to school to be. He wanted to major in psychology. They told them they're not paying for it. They said, we'll not pay for your college. If you go to school to major in psychology, we won't pay.

[Joe Budden]

What do you think about that?

[Ish]

I agree with them.

[Joe Budden]

Okay, Right.

[Ish]

So for me, if a field just takes psychology, no disrespect to nobody. If you go to school to major in psychology, if you're not gonna go be a psychologist or a psychiatrist, then I think it's kind of a waste of money in many instances because it's a lot of what if that's what. In that instance, what he wanted to be. I just said it also could be.

[Parks]

Applicable if you wanted to be like a marketing person or something. Like there's other uses for it. But if you don't have a plan for it, it's stupid to pay regardless.

[Ish]

Right. So a lot of times our children. Trey. You might know something that Trey don't know because you necessarily maybe not walk directly in his footsteps, but you have experience in the world that he has yet to encounter.

[Joe Budden]

Right.

[Ish]

So you might see Trey making a life changing decision that might alter his trajectory. And you know that he's making a mistake. He ain't living up long enough life to know it's gonna have consequences. So you might try and course correct. I think it's both.

[Mel]

I think that's not what the father was doing. The father wasn't trying to course correct. He just. He was just like, it's all about the name.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Mel]

He even talked about his first name. He was like, your mother wanted to name you Arthur. Yeah, bullshit. What a weak ass name. You needed to be a cow. So it's like Bradford.

[Ish]

Bradford is their last name, I think. Bradford.

[Mel]

Yeah, something like that. So the father was basically saying, you're irrelevant. You're literally just going to be a figurehead in anything that I position for you. So it's just like it was such an. It was such a. It was such an empty exchange.

[Joe Budden]

But where do y'all stand? Personally, I'm gonna give.

[Ish]

He said he's both. I'm against it. Cause I think no matter what, you can try to steer your kid. You can't walk that path for them. Like in the Cal instance. Yeah. Pops put you up. He made this you ended up being a president, and he was miserable. He was drinking his life away. Cause he was miserable with that. So, yeah, he achieved what you wanted him to achieve, but he didn't want that. So I think you have to. You give your child all the information you can. You try to guide him the right way. You try to steer them the right way if you can. But you have to let them still make their decisions the same way we made our decisions. And down the line, I was also making decisions.

[Parks]

There's a parallel, right, in the show, right, with Xavier. His father was the pilot. He was. His father before that was Tuskegee Airmen. And he wanted him to be a pilot, but he couldn't because his vision or whatever, but he would be in Secret Service and guarding the President.

[Flip]

Now.

[Parks]

He's super proud of him. It took him a long time, but it's right there built in the show.

[Ish]

I think it's not a right or a wrong.

[Flip]

Yeah, it's not. Yeah.

[Ish]

Because I think it just depends on how they pan out. Let's say the father forced him down that road. He went on to do great things as the President of the United States and accomplished a lot and fell into the role as he got older. It just turned out he didn't like doing it when he got older. But with Push is, we've seen. I don't know if y'all ever seen a video of Jalen Brunson's dad. Y'all never seen a video of Jalen Brunson and his father's just pushing him and pushing him and pushing him.

[Joe Budden]

That sort of video. Like.

[Ish]

Like, almost like, damn, damn near, you know, like too much. Look what he turned out to be.

[Joe Budden]

Right.

[Ish]

You get what I'm saying? So sometimes it's a. It's a. It's a bright start. Yeah, sometimes. So it just depends.

[Flip]

A lot of people want to preserve their legacy.

[Ish]

And if you think about the great grandkids and the great, great grandkids and the great, great grandkids, let's say some of the Kennedys didn't go the route that they went. Let's say some of the Bushes didn't go the route that they went. Like. Like you setting the stage selfishly for maybe not even selfishly for everybody to follow behind you. Sometimes it's still selfishly to me, because it's still that person's life to live. You can't live somebody's life for them. Good point. The second you try to do that. Great point. You're being selfish.

[Flip]

But if they Go down the wrong path. They lean on you to help them get out that.

[Ish]

I think that's your job as a parent.

[Mel]

Yeah.

[Flip]

Yeah. Okay. And it's also your job as a parent to protect your children. It's also a job as a parent to make sure they preserve your legacy and you put them in position so they could benefit or become. They could benefit later on in life. A lot of times, kids or teenagers or young adults go in the path of what's in now.

[Ish]

Or convenience.

[Flip]

Yeah, or convenience. And then you may have a wider vision for them and say, well, this path is good. I know it's gonna be good for you. I know you're gonna excel in it. And sometimes there's nothing wrong with pushing your kid in that direction. Hey, you know, I can speak from example. I don't think that J.R. wanted to do anything with cameras, but it's like, yo, I'm able to watch you. I'm able to know that you're okay, and I'm able to put you in a position that can benefit you in the long run if you stay in this field by meeting new people and building relationships. So, you know, it's important for me.

[Ish]

Give your stance, nigga.

[Joe Budden]

I think that never works. I kind of agree with most of the things that ISIS said.

[Ish]

Got it. I think there's no wrong answer. Honestly, I don't think it's a wrong answer.

[Joe Budden]

I think dad doing that is wrong.

[Ish]

I see both. Me too.

[Joe Budden]

I think Pop doing that is wrong.

[Ish]

What if the son didn't turn out that way?

[Joe Budden]

So.

[Ish]

And he turned out to be the best president in United States history. He just needed a nudge.

[Flip]

Look at Joe's Biden son.

[Ish]

You get what I'm saying?

[Joe Budden]

Jalen Brunson wanted to be an athlete.

[Ish]

We don't know that.

[Joe Budden]

In the video, he's sitting there allowing himself to be pushed.

[Ish]

He's not allowing himself to be pushed. I want to quit. You not gonna quit.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, but go run full speed and get the ball.

[Ish]

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, but that's different.

[Joe Budden]

Jalen Brunson wanted to.

[Ish]

I'm making you play basketball.

[Joe Budden]

You're pushing me past my limit. It's like when you go to the gym and the trainer pushes you past a certain point. That's not what was happening in this instance.

[Mel]

He wanted to be a school teacher.

[Ish]

Just give me an example.

[Joe Budden]

In this specific instance, I disagree with the dad completely all the way. And if you're. If your name. If your name is powerful like that, then skip me.

[Mel]

Yeah, the Father. Yeah, the father was basically. The father was basically saying, your life is my life to lead.

[Ish]

Yeah, that's it.

[Joe Budden]

That's that.

[Mel]

You don't have a choice in the matter.

[Joe Budden]

And again, I don't want to drag this because this is a new episode that we talking about. This is not an ad. It's just a good show. Paradise. Check it out. But, yeah, I'm not. I don't. I don't fuck with the dad.

[Flip]

I see both, okay?

[Ish]

I see both.

[Joe Budden]

Don't. Don't ruin my bullshit. You could try it with me. I'm a. What rebellious is.

[Ish]

Cause there's a lot of pressure. And that pressure everybody can't take. Some people, kids especially, some of them can take the pressure.

[Joe Budden]

And in paradise, the last name was a successful clout having last name. In real life, everybody is not blessed with that type of wealth and riches and power and clout and legacy. So in real life, it'd be the dad projecting his failure onto his kid.

[Ish]

Yeah, but do you. Not the rich ones. Not the rich ones. Those rich people see the world from a real macro standpoint, and they know that this name carries power. I don't give a fuck what you talking about. You could be an alcohol. You could be a failure, my nigga, your name is your name and you gonna carry on the legacy of this family. I think a lot of them look at it like that. I think they marry like that. I think they do everything with that in mind.

[Joe Budden]

My son said he going to ringside for a pre Valentine's Day date. Rings. Ringside in Jersey City. That's not the vision I had for the legacy.

[Ish]

And you see what I did.

[Joe Budden]

However, that's how he carrying it. What'd you want me to do?

[Ish]

Uncle Ish talked him out of it and steered him another way.

[Mel]

What is ringside? I'm sorry.

[Ish]

You ain't gotta.

[Joe Budden]

You don't gotta worry about that. Legends from the six.

[Ish]

Little lady, you ain't gotta worry about it. You don't worry about that.

[Joe Budden]

Legends from the six.

[Ish]

You know what's gonna happen at ringside when you go, somebody gonna pull up one side of you and be like, where's my hug? No. How much? Yeah, how much you want?

[Joe Budden]

Yes.

[Ish]

Right? Right on the corner, right?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ish]

Yo, you fish nothing.

[Joe Budden]

You fish nothing.

[Ish]

That's what's gonna happen at ringside.

[Joe Budden]

If you go over there.

[Flip]

Okay, yeah.

[Ish]

So I want Train going over there.

[Flip]

Gotcha.

[Joe Budden]

Puff is suing NBC Universal and a company called Ample. I want to say over that for defamation $100 million over that piece that they put out.

[Mel]

I saw that happen.

[Joe Budden]

Good. Yep.

[Ish]

Good for him. I came in here and said it. When the doc came out, I said, yo, regardless of what he did, I think he still deserves his fair day in court. And I think that those documentaries, it's like five of them out right now.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Parks]

All these docs that come out before anything has been even started in court is not.

[Ish]

I think that's crazy. Like, you basically are making a case for the defense. Right? I mean, for the prosecution. I'm sorry. You're making a case for them and you taintin the jury. You taintin the jury, fam. Any jury select. We didn't pick a jury yet. Right. So any jury selection that goes in there and you think this dude is a piece of shit. So when they do jury deliberation, I mean, jury selection.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Ish]

They'll say, hey, Mr. Valla, you ever heard of Sean Combs?

[Joe Budden]

Right?

[Ish]

And that you supposed to be like, nah, right? Or what do you feel about Sean call? Are you supposed to say, no, I don't have a feeling. I didn't see any docs. But if you got it in for him or somebody did some shit to your daughter, you like, yo, I'm send this piece of shit away, then that could taint the jury. Because they've watched four or five docs on this dude.

[Joe Budden]

Right.

[Ish]

You get what I'm saying? So you may be. May be taking away the fair court process that everybody's entitled to.

[Parks]

Agreed.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, God. Go ahead.

[Ish]

And they were highlighting the suit, was highlighting the fact they had Albie Shore in there basically insinuating that he killed me. He's a murderer. Yeah, he did. They did say that. And that's part of what they're highlighting. That's the bigger part of that too, I think. Yeah, absolutely. So I'll be clear. I think Puff did a lot of up. Word.

[Parks]

For sure.

[Ish]

Word. I'm also with him suing them over this doc. Thousand. The two things could be true at the same time. Yes.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Yesterday was also the finishing touches on the closing arguments in the ASAP Rocky trial. And the jury should be deliberating today.

[Ish]

Right now.

[Joe Budden]

Well, it's the weekend. I don't know how it works.

[Ish]

True, true.

[Joe Budden]

I know there was some fuss about asaps. Attorneys saying that in his closing, in the first part of his closing, that. That the prop done did emit shells or some type of casings that came from it. And that was supposed to be like a oh, he slipped up moment. I don't know. We gotta see.

[Parks]

Yeah, we'll see.

[Joe Budden]

Rihanna. Rihanna in court with two babies. Makes a difference.

[Parks]

Yeah, it does.

[Ish]

Yeah, it does.

[Joe Budden]

It does.

[Ish]

Hell, yeah. You don't say. I think any mother, right and wrong.

[Joe Budden]

Ways to attain a jury. Any.

[Ish]

Any subtle look.

[Joe Budden]

Real subtle.

[Ish]

Yeah, real subtle. Nose running a little bit. Yo, like, I think that when you go to court, they'll be like, yo, bring as many family members as you can. Bring as many friends as you can. That sways the judge and the jury. Like my little cousin, they just told him, like, yo, the fact that your whole community is here, it says a lot about your family and what. How solid your family structure is. Like, that weighs on the judges. You in there by yourself and nobody in there. You like this. Don't nobody care about this piece of shit, dog. When we were at. When we were at for surf sentencing, that's what the judge said. She was like, you know, between these letters, she said, for a lot of people that. That came through here, we didn't see this many people with you. It's your village. So that shows that you have a lot of support and there's a lot of people riding for you, which ain't. Not those exact ones, you know what I'm saying? But, yeah, they take all that into consideration.

[Joe Budden]

You shout to the wave. Good luck to asap. Maybe we'll hear something soon or even by the time that this is released. Who knows? But we'll keep an eye on it. Good luck to him in his process.

[Ish]

Indeed.

[Joe Budden]

Man. What you doing tonight?

[Flip]

Fishing.

[Ish]

That's up. Got the fish nets on.

[Joe Budden]

Going fishing?

[Mel]

No, I got plans.

[Joe Budden]

I didn't even see, though. I'm just looking in her eyes.

[Ish]

I know.

[Mel]

And I got plans.

[Joe Budden]

I even know she had legs. Yo, look, because you do that on purpose. So that's when you really go to. Yeah, that's when you really gotta lock it.

[Ish]

Go out of your way to not see yo chicks get up to go to the bathroom 17 times you be locked.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I didn't know she had legs. What are you getting into, Mel?

[Mel]

I've got some dinner plans.

[Joe Budden]

All right.

[Parks]

Sounds like a hot date.

[Joe Budden]

New restaurant, somewhere you've been before.

[Mel]

Somewhere I have not been before.

[Joe Budden]

Got it.

[Mel]

Yeah, it's been on the bucket list for a second.

[Joe Budden]

He came and took it off some. He came and took it right off that bucket list.

[Parks]

Hey, strong start.

[Joe Budden]

All right. On Valentine's Day, I'm going to Tank tomorrow. I'm going to see Tank. I'm going to take that trip down to I95. I'm doing it.

[Parks]

Oh, that's dope.

[Joe Budden]

I'm doing it. Go do a little bit of dinner, then we'll go to some other restaurant. That's hard to get a ticket. Hard to get a ticket. On Tuesday, me and my girl get together and just gain weight for mad weeks in a row. That's fire.

[Mel]

Those are the best relationships.

[Ish]

That is fire.

[Mel]

Just eating ribs in bed and eating.

[Ish]

Ribs and eating ass.

[Mel]

Okay.

[Joe Budden]

I don't like it and neither does she. Tired of pulling that scale out and saying certain things. No, no, no.

[Ish]

Hit the gym.

[Joe Budden]

No, that's the plan. Yeah.

[Ish]

Together.

[Joe Budden]

Please do it together. Yeah, but that's working out with your partner.

[Parks]

Is that not. That's not good.

[Joe Budden]

I'm not doing that.

[Parks]

I don't recommend that. I tried that before. It was.

[Joe Budden]

The less amount of things you could do with your partner, the better.

[Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Like do what you gotta do. Maybe that's the life thing. But if you can get a bathroom break or a walk to the garage or a trip to the store, then take that motherfucker. Take it. Take that ride to the. Wheels fall off.

[Parks]

During me and during the Pandemic, me and REM Were on a workout kick, and then she wanted to play Ashanti one day. I was like, I don't want to work out. To Ashanti, baby.

[Flip]

And then just ruined up the workout.

[Parks]

Experience as a couple and never again will we.

[Joe Budden]

I dread that so much, I don't even trip. Man. Is I need a trainer in New Jersey or Texas. Like, oh, hey, find him, girl. I ain't doing it. Good luck. Yeah, I might repost this. I'll find. I'll find train guys.

[Mel]

When she gets to Jersey, I'll take her to the gym with me.

[Parks]

There you go.

[Joe Budden]

All right.

[Parks]

We got a Pilates trainer in training right here. You know what I mean?

[Mel]

I kind of gave her.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, she been training a while.

[Mel]

I got too busy with other shit.

[Ish]

I know.

[Mel]

I still do it.

[Joe Budden]

Too busy getting money to keep in shape. You're getting too much money out there, Mandy, Huh? The fuck? Todd Dollar says. He does not condone hate speech. Who gonna tell him.

[Ish]

He does condone. He does.

[Joe Budden]

Sorry, Todd.

[Ish]

No, no, no. What happened is it started affecting some other. Everybody condones hate speech when they profit from it.

[Joe Budden]

You go with a bold take.

[Ish]

They do.

[Joe Budden]

Nah, yo, that ain't true.

[Ish]

When that.

[Mel]

You mean when they profit from it? Is that what you're saying?

[Ish]

Okay, depending on who getting hated on, but go ahead. Nothing Kanye said is new. That's my Thing.

[Parks]

So you, you've been saying this.

[Ish]

You get what I'm saying? This ain't brand new. So all this tells me is okay, now the bottom line is starting to get affected one way or another. Either it's somebody I'm working with or want to work with. Something's happening where the noise is getting too loud. Now I have to come out and say something. It's kind of like the conversation we had before where you talking about people looking the other way about Puff. Like, no, people will rock with you until it starts to affect them.

[Parks]

True.

[Ish]

Like, I don't think it's no picking and choosing and none of that shit. Everybody's in self preservation mode now. You fucking with me or my money is being fucked with, my business is all right. I gotta say something. And even what he said, it was still, I ain't gonna piss him off, though. It was still very, very, very soft. What he said, he didn't condemn what he said. He said, I don't rock with no hate. I ain't on that side. So now y'all can stop saying tadala Sign ain't say nothing. I said something. Leave me alone. Let me go back over here. Let's hope it go away. Cause the last niggas that condemn Kanye speaking, he completely shut them down. Everybody that went against him, he cut him off. So I don't want to up that relationship. I don't want to up these relationships either. That's all. It's self preservation. That's it. I agree with that.

[Parks]

It's getting harder and harder to stand next to him, I would imagine.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, it's tough to stand next to anybody and you don't have any idea when they gonna wig out.

[Parks]

That's that part.

[Joe Budden]

Like, if you're dealing with a wig out, then, yeah.

[Parks]

I mean, especially when the wig outs are that.

[Joe Budden]

Like when them niggas was talking about, I think I came here and told y'all harmful. When he was talking about, yo, come to Japan for an interview, it's like, yeah, that might be cool, but in the event that I get on a plane to Japan and land and you wig out. Yeah, yeah, we got a different problem.

[Flip]

And even if you wig out a.

[Parks]

Year from now, it's still not great.

[Ish]

Nah, it's a little different.

[Joe Budden]

It's different if I get on a plane in Japan and that's when you decide to wig out. Or we do a great interview, I get on a plane on the way back. Now you can't drop my shit.

[Ish]

Editing. Or I dropped my Interview today, and you wig out today, next week.

[Joe Budden]

Y'all that standing next to him, y'all know what time it is. Ty, specifically because you are artist. Y'all doing the music. You on his album. Y'all got this series of albums. It's like, yeah, you affect him more than just yourself. Yeah. Not yeah, yeah, not Todd. I guess he got to say that you have to, but it looks away.

[Ish]

You start getting uncomfortable phone calls from your family and shit like that. Like when you got those who really matter to you now, that's like, you going to do that. Let's say you running around with yay. And then pop calls you like, yo, what's up with you? Yo, how you feel about that? You see what he doing?

[Joe Budden]

Well, Joe Budden wouldn't be running around with nobody.

[Ish]

No, but I'm just giving an example.

[Joe Budden]

I know, I know. But let me let the audience know. Just so we clear, I'm not one of the runaround.

[Ish]

I think that's controllable.

[Joe Budden]

There's a bunch of people out there that. That's a run around nigga. You can spot him if you look hard enough. That's a big thing going on today. Put me on the record. I'm not running around nobody.

[Parks]

Smart.

[Ish]

Nah. I think the family stuff is controllable. I think the secret owner of the company that you doing business with that feel a certain type of way. That's something you can't control. Your family you could control. I think these niggas be having partnerships, and you don't be knowing who own these brands and some of the people that own these brands or is the silent financier in some of these brands be the people that's getting pissed off, and they'll start pulling those buttons, pushing those buttons now. You got it? Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Are we all buying the Kanye app when it drops?

[Parks]

No.

[Mel]

No.

[Joe Budden]

You're not buying it?

[Parks]

Nope.

[Ish]

Really? Why? Can I ask a question? Like, before it dropped and, like, the snippets came out, were they heat? They were all heat.

[Joe Budden]

Do you need to hear them first?

[Ish]

Yeah, I need to hear them.

[Flip]

Really?

[Ish]

Vultures 2 is trash. So. So if I go by just, it's Kanye, I'm not gonna run and buy it and you put out some trash.

[Parks]

I might stream it, though.

[Ish]

That's what I'm saying. If it's some heat, I'm not gonna say, help to sit up here on this platform and lie and say, I ain't listening to it. I'm nothing. I'm not gonna see him. If it's Heat. I'm going to.

[Parks]

I'm just not trying to put, put.

[Ish]

I'll illegally download it. That's what I'll do.

[Parks]

There you go.

[Ish]

There we go. I'm not gonna spend my. My 15.99 for you.

[Parks]

He can have my.0000006.

[Corey]

Now.

[Ish]

I won't be buying nothing off his website.

[Joe Budden]

Well, he.

[Ish]

No one will now.

[Parks]

They took it down.

[Ish]

They took it down. And he wrote a handwritten note up there that says, yeezy store is coming soon. So he said, I guess brick and mortar. I don't know. It's all online. See. Start playing with the people. Start playing with the people. So I mean, he could. He could. He got enough money that he could pay somebody to generate a platform that does all of that. Yeah, like him. That ain't no big thing for him.

[Joe Budden]

But. All right, I'm running through part of the shows for y'all. Okay, let's hear it. Damn. Damn, T. Funny. Okay.

[Parks]

What's up, Dave?

[Joe Budden]

Hey, what's up, saddle boy? Daddy bs. What's good, pod? Salute for salute for Florida. Thank you guys for helping a veteran have balance after serving in the army for 15 years. My question for the gang, but really warning boy dads out there, what would you do if your 17 year old son who hoops has a senior night and your name isn't called as his father when the parents are called. It has happened to me and I was in attendance. Recording. Hit me up.

[Ish]

One. I got one other question. I have a couple. Did they call somebody else's name in the place of his? 1 is one of my questions. And then does he have a relationship with the kid? Mm, that's my question. Yeah, like did you just show up because it's singing night and let me be there. It doesn't say, but those are. We can't answer if the two things are like if he plays a part in his kid's life one and then the other. Well, if that's the case, then him having another stepfather don't matter. If you play a role in your kid's life, I think your name should be called.

[Joe Budden]

Absolutely, I totally agree with that. And go have a stern talking too, with the principal.

[Ish]

As a principal, they just reading off what somebody gave them. They read off what the parents give you.

[Flip]

Sometimes.

[Joe Budden]

Sometimes, you know, start talking with somebody.

[Flip]

Sometimes the other parent be funny.

[Ish]

But yeah, yeah, they need talking to.

[Joe Budden]

All right, Morgan is here.

[Flip]

What up, Morgan?

[Ish]

What's happening?

[Joe Budden]

On a serious note, Gooning has been taking over the inner Internet Community.

[Parks]

Okay.

[Joe Budden]

Sweeping the nation, if you will.

[Parks]

Is he gonna give us a definition of guns?

[Mel]

Do you know what it is?

[Joe Budden]

As a chronic masturbator myself. Does the distinguished cast have thoughts on this phenomenon and its correlation to mental health in America? Parentheses gooning is a phrase used on the Internet for edging and promotes mutual masturbation between men, women and transgenders. It also promotes a level of dating by finding a air quotes goon bud to help supply. To help supply each other with porn by feeding or posting porn on their DM feed. All right. That. That's a lot. That's above my pay grade.

[Parks]

I think mutual masturbation with your partner is. Is fly or potential partner is fly. I don't know if.

[Joe Budden]

What?

[Mel]

As long as everybody consent.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Parks]

As long as everyone's consent.

[Mel]

Consenting. Great.

[Joe Budden]

All right. I'm done with somebody else.

[Parks]

I don't like to talk title alone.

[Joe Budden]

Last one. Ifeni. Ifeni. Ifeni. Ifeni says this is a creator slash branding question for the team. My organization is a cultural group for lbo. O L gbo Nigerian American professionals. We have chapters all over the country. But I want to focus on the tri state because you all definitely have your finger on the pulse of New York. Thank you. Our chapter is entering their 10 year anniversary and we are killing it with the programming. But we still see a lot of the same issues as before. Unpredictable attendance and memberships coming and going. And it is still very hard to get sponsorship. What can we do to get more eyes on us? And more than that? More than that. People from the greatest city on earth are hard to pin down. What can we do to make our events. The events. The it. The it promotion or change our visibility? I'm assuming that's a typo. You can definitely call me. Please call twice if it is. Before school closes. Thank you for all the free lunch. By the way. You should make this question a long response. I can't see if I'm misspelling anything. Don't read this out loud. You definitely misspelled some things. All right, we got a young business owner here inquiring about branding. How do I get more eyes on my mission?

[Flip]

Invest in Dr. Umar. Let him come up there and do a speech. They'll bring attendance in general. Investing, though, is investing in having somebody come and speak or have somebody with a name that believes in your same rhetoric come up there and speak and.

[Joe Budden]

You know, all right, so you don't have any help for this person.

[Parks]

I think that's how I think that's pretty good.

[Flip]

Why? You don't think that's helpful?

[Joe Budden]

You want this person to have Dr. Umar come up there.

[Flip]

They said that for the Nigerians, he's okay. Not even Dr. Umar. I'm saying somebody who's popular, who has a following that could bring visibility to your program. A lot of times people like to take a shortcut. Not saying they are, but they just like to do it with.

[Ish]

No, they're taking a shortcut.

[Flip]

Promote and promote. And that doesn't work. You have to put money back into the business.

[Joe Budden]

All right, just have anybody come up.

[Parks]

Absolutely.

[Joe Budden]

Somebody with a following. Attention. To give a speech.

[Flip]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

Or to just do something on camera so you can spread the word. All right, got it. But it got a bad idea. It's not a bad idea.

[Ish]

It's two things, I think the. One, their community is. Because it's really based on Nigerians.

[Mel]

So it's too niche.

[Ish]

It's a niche. Yeah. It's a real niche thing. And I don't know the Nigerian community in Manhattan, so I don't want to be. There's a lot of them, But I think that you gotta find somebody like Flip said that's really influential in that particular sector and have them come up there. Or you could find a superstar that may not be that influential in their sector, but. But that has a little cachet with y'all that could come up there. Cause he said he'd been doing it for 10 years, so he's definitely did some trial and error. I don't think I said it's a shortcut. I think after 10 years, you're not really taking shortcuts.

[Flip]

Not if you're doing this now. If you.

[Joe Budden]

And the part of the show was a good idea.

[Parks]

Yeah, that's a good start.

[Joe Budden]

That was a good idea. It says that your wheels are turning, so it says that you're thinking of shit. That was a good idea.

[Mel]

Good investment. Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I agree. Hopefully we were able to help somebody out there here.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Y'all just look like y'all ready to get home to y'all girls. And this new. I'm really chilling. And this. That my reservations ain't till later.

[Ish]

Not me.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, no. You don't celebrate this.

[Flip]

Not me neither.

[Joe Budden]

I really ran the. I got a work line, like, so I'm g. To, like, here with y'all, like. And it worked. The line didn't work. It worked. I ain't got to do tonight.

[Flip]

Oh, oh.

[Parks]

You can always find a little freestyle.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Some flowers and a better sexual performance than she's used To, I guess.

[Flip]

Yeah, we saw that.

[Joe Budden]

I can only imagine what romance looked like from you.

[Flip]

Yeah. No, no, no. When I was younger, even coming up, the romance was there, but like, I'm afraid. I don't know how to approach that anymore.

[Ish]

Yo, when you was younger, you had to be romantic because you ain't had a brain. So you had to use your brain. I don't think so. What was the romantic you used to do when you was young?

[Mel]

That was fun.

[Flip]

[Joe Budden]

Hey, no, honestly, why is she saying all that?

[Ish]

It was one of them.

[Joe Budden]

And I'm closing. I'm closing. But this is some other ones with a lyric breakdown.

[Ish]

It's on that little list.

[Joe Budden]

I think the girl hater songs have the guy hater songs beat by a million. I don't know, dog, how they get Tony Braxton to hate on some. It's disgusting.

[Ish]

[Joe Budden]

It's disgusting.

[Ish]

If I didn't love you, I'd walk out that door. If a man can have his blood well, a girl could have fun. I'd rather go to work before I let it tip drop hit this floor. I'll never let you see me breaking.

[Ish]

[Ish]

Yeah?

[Corey]

Before I lose my mind? I'mma let you know now? I'll go a million miles wearing this? You don't care to say that it's over? Instead of giving up? I learned to give you the control, shoulder? I gave you time? So I'm yours and you're mine? My heart's on the line? Love suicide? Even if I could get my feet to run? I go around in circles? Cause I know I'm not done? We're gonna focus it out Before I let it sit drop hit me this flower? I'll never let you see me breaking down? You'll never have to pick me up off the ground? I'd rather stand pretty than begging deep for your pity? And I'll go a million.
