The thoughts, views, and opinions expressed by this podcast, whose bullets its hosts offer entertainment purposes only. I repeat, it is not serious. It is not real. No one is exposing, revealing, indicting, or telling you anything about themselves. Also, we do not encourage you to try this at home. We are trained professionals who do not have your best interests at heart or our own. Enjoy the show. We're not staying on this either. But this is funny. I want to pull the reveal out. You tell them, and then I'll tell you to reveal. And I'm gonna tell them to reveal. It's hilarious.
Ishmael
What do you want me to say exactly? The story.
Joe Budden
When you say it like that, it makes it seem like it's.
Ishmael
No, no. What I'm saying is that this week I realized that the JBP and I know we don't like talking about this, are serious when it comes to taking an episode off and being docked for it. So when I received some money, I called Ian. I looked at it. It wasn't the normal money that I get. I was docked. I saw that there was some money missing. And then I got a letter from the accountant. Yo, hey. They said this in my head for the moment, I felt away, Say, yo, these niggas is trying to get me. They trying to take me down. I need to get the fuck away from them. This is crazy. The first two years, I was getting my shit off, I was taking, like, five days off of the month instead of getting my shit full. Now they're very serious. I went to Ian crib to try to be cool, but that whole time, I'm staring at the nigga feeling away like, yo, you motherfucker.
Mal
Oh, you knew when you got.
Joe Budden
You knew when you got there that that happened?
Ishmael
Yes.
Joe Budden
All right.
Parks
Oh, you was trying to dress. Just act like it was cool.
Ishmael
I went there. I tried to play ball and just be cool. I went there under false pretenses, and it didn't work. I did.
Joe Budden
Didn't work. But you ain't get it on. Oh, you coining it.
Mal
Cause now if I know that going.
Joe Budden
In, then I gotta kick it with you in the basement. I gotta find a way to bring it up.
Mal
But that's not the funniest part. This is hilarious.
Joe Budden

Ishmael
We're not staying here.
Joe Budden

Parks

Sauce Walker
But in time, your heart will heal.
Mal
Oh, my God, he is gas. Like, yo, this nigga is. Are you crazy?
Joe Budden
Okay, let me help the slow people in the back.
Mal
He's getting his shit off in this relationship and somehow has conned this lady into thinking that he's leaving her cause.
Joe Budden
Of something that she did.
Parks
No, you lost me in the last part.
Ishmael
No, no, nigga.
Parks
I think he getting his shit off. I think he got the next shit lined up already.
Ishmael
What you talking about?
Mal
Of course he's got.
Parks
He got all of that. But now I'm trying to do the right thing.
Mal
The right thing for him is I can't stay with you, and you are not the person that I feel like I should be with. So I'm doing the right thing. This is not where I want to be.
Flip
No, that's not what his message is. His message.
Mal
Why is he leaving her?
Joe Budden
Ish.
Flip
To explore the world.
Ishmael
So Shorty at work.
Parks
I disagree with that.
Mal
He's not trying to explore the world.
Parks
He's trying to explore Shorty right here. He got the next shorty. He got the next shorty.
Joe Budden
He's not Dora, dog.
Flip
Do you hear the boy lyrics?
Mal
Y'all just change his lyrics.
Parks
No, y'all got it. Nope. I hear the lyrics.
Sauce Walker
Without you.
Parks
He's trying to let her down softly. Trying to.
Mal
Do you know why? You know why? It's funny, cuz. It's just definitely the. That got off the. I need to explore the world.
Flip
I never. Never what?
Joe Budden
What?
Mal
What you went and did when you explored the world, Keisha, I was what.
Flip
You went and did, fam. I'M this don't have nothing to do with me. What I'm telling you is I've never had that speech right.
Mal
You just don't treat them bad.
Ishmael
It's just right.
Parks
He don't feel that sad.
Ishmael
Feels the need to step away, to explore personal desires and uncertainties. It's just white.
Mal
He's going to get his shit off with all the girls that he been getting his shit off with. But he can't. Cause she's annoying him. Because I'm in this relationship with somebody I don't want to be with. Hence why I'm fucking all these other girls. It's the gas. Like King hold up. And if you think I'm lying, listen to him, Tweedy. Da da da da da da. I do. Fellas, if you've been through it out there, put a hand up in the air, wave it side to side for. Hey. I had a whole another song queued.
Joe Budden
Up, but we just going to start now. I feel so bad that I can't be with you no more. Girl, you don't. Damn.
Parks
He know where he want to be.
Mal
He don't want to be here.
Joe Budden
It's got to stop.
Mal
He knows this.
Parks
He's just trying to make. This is one of those. It's not you, is me.
Mal
Yes, yes. It's that. Yes.
Parks
That's what he's telling her.
Mal
This song is why women stop doing breaks. This song is why girls say, I don't know.
Flip
I don't do no breaks neither.
Parks
We break up.
Flip
Yeah. I don't do breaks with that break.
Ishmael
I never did a break.
Flip

Parks
Why you? Why?
Mal
Why not?
Parks
All right.
Mal
I love. I love the vibe of this podcast already.
Flip
Either I want to be here or I don't.
Joe Budden
So you don't want to what?
Flip
Break?
Mal
Love is not that black and white, buddy.
Ishmael
Because sometimes it should be fire. What should be fire? Super fire.
Flip
The other thing.
Ishmael
Super bad. He'd be fire. So you think, like, I'mma let you get your off. No, but in your mind, you know, like in about two weeks, I'mma go crack that heart. No, no, no. Freeze. You too. You too strict for me. You got too many rules.
Flip
Back in the day. If I wanted a break, what was the break for?
Joe Budden
To break. To give each other space. These drops, we can have more of the talk. Whatever those is, we'll do it.
Jazzy
8:12.
Joe Budden
All right.
Mal

Ishmael
We don't ask all that.
Mal
We don't need to ask no questions.
Ishmael
We don't need to ask any questions. Let's get right back to the topic.
Mal
Back to it.
Joe Budden
Get to it.
Ishmael
Yeah. What I'm saying is that you said what would the break before.
Joe Budden
Correct.
Ishmael
The break would be for just space to see. Just give you space. I'm gonna give me space. Cause a lot of times people be around each other all the time.
Mal
Where I wanna be like, it's Covid.
Ishmael
So I'm gonna give you space just to see you clear your mind. I clear my mind just to see if we wanna be in this situation. It's like a two week break.
Joe Budden
You being wolfly.
Parks
So you putting a time. You putting a time limit on a break? I've never done that. You're putting a time limit on it.
Ishmael
Some people. What's the. Some people give two week breaks. Don't come to my crib. Don't call my phone bitch. You stay over there for two weeks at your house.
Parks
All right, Let me ask you a question. What's the difference between that and breaking up? If we get back together, we get back together.
Joe Budden
There's no time on the brick.
Parks
What's the difference between what you said and we broke up?
Ishmael
You asking a nigga that's been married his whole life. So I can't.
Parks
Well, I'm only replying to you. Cause you said why?
Ishmael
There's no difference. But what I'm saying is that the difference for me would be. I have the intent of going back there and cracking your muffin. In about two weeks, I'mma go knock on your door. I want the pussy again. Cause it's fire.
Flip
So let me ask you what happens when another baker come in there?
Ishmael
Yeah, surprise.
Flip
He got different glazed donuts than you.
Ishmael
Listen, listen. I'm honest, nigga. I'm sitting outside the quit that whole Two weeks just watching Break Up.
Parks
You don't want to break up because.
Ishmael
That'S me for me. Yo, dog, I just gotta watch and make sure she's not doing that.
Flip
In my former life, I never had a break.
Ishmael
Cause you the. That they got a break from.
Joe Budden
Cause you scary.
Flip
No, cuz I was doing what I was doing regardless. I was cheating, so I didn't need no break. If I was exploring another option, I already had the option on my plate.
Ishmael
Yo, he.
Flip
So I wasn't doing that. It didn't make no sense.
Ishmael
I think you would. I think you. You're so emotional. You didn't give a break because you were scared to lose her. Honestly, Ish, you're wrong that another man came and took it.
Flip
I don't want to say no ignorant, arrogant shit. I want you to say you are a thousand percent corrupt.
Ishmael
So you didn't. So you didn't care?
Flip
Dog, my girlfriends that I was with in the past, I wanted to be there. If I didn't want to be there, I would have left. I wanted to be there.
Ishmael
Have you ever had a situation where you got with somebody and they came to your crib and end up staying forever? Meaning, like they didn't go back.
Mal
You guys.
Ishmael
It became a routine.
Flip
I've had girls that I was with.
Joe Budden
And you lying right now, but I'll let you.
Flip
I'm not lying.
Ishmael
Don't let them lie. I hate when you do that.
Parks
That's not true.
Ishmael
Don't let them lie.
Flip
Dog, any girl that I've ever broken up with. First of all, the girls that I've broken up with in the past, they might have broken up with me. I didn't initiate. No. We need some space.
Ishmael
Bull.
Flip
I never did that in my life. I'm not lying.
Parks
Did you do this shit to make them break up with you?
Flip
No, I've never done that.
Parks
He's asking what you're doing.
Flip
Yeah, y'all say that. No, I.
Joe Budden
Stop, stop.
Ishmael
Stop acting like ish now you gonna do that.
Flip
You ever know that I did something purposely to make a girl break up with me? I don't do that.
Joe Budden
Ish. I don't wanna do word soup game. You just said that you was cheating. You was cheating.
Flip
Yeah. Okay.
Joe Budden
There's been mad instances in your life where you had a situation with a girlfriend of yours where she's leaving or wanted to leave because you did something.
Mal
Yeah, that's happened before.
Flip
That's not what he talking about. He talking about when you purposely make a girl break up with you. Like, you do something.
Mal
Oh, just perfect.
Flip
I've never done that.
Parks
Yeah, that's your M.O.
Flip
That you move y'all used to do.
Mal
What the is the difference if you constantly doing something that's gonna make the girl?
Parks
Because the difference is when you. In his version, I'm doing this with. In hopes of you're not finding out. I don't want to leave you. That.
Flip
That y'all used to pull was, yo, I'm gonna do some and get caught on purpose so that the girl leaves me. I wasn't deleting.
Parks
She could feel she was the way for me.
Mal
All that is word soup. Because if either party leaves and then you reunite later, that was a break.
Parks
See, I disagree.
Mal
Yes.
Ishmael
Hold on.
Parks
I disagree.
Mal
That was a break.
Flip
I wasn't the initiator.
Mal
That was a break.
Parks
I disagree with that.
Mal
I don't care how the break came up. I get that you saying, hey, where I stand on breaks. I'm not doing the break thing. However, if you've taken a break and then gotten back together, then you certainly understand the concept.
Flip
No, I do.
Parks
I don't.
Jazzy
That's my only point.
Mal
That's my only point.
Parks
I don't get that.
Mal
I'm just saying, however you handle breaks and all that don't negate. I don't want you to speak as if you can't understand the people.
Jazzy
You never got back with someone after you broken up.
Parks
Yeah, but see, that's why the way y'all say the break is like, we taking some time to figure out what we want to do if we want.
Flip
To come back down.
Jazzy
So you say the breakup be a.
Parks
Breakup, and then if we get back together. We did, but it wasn't a breakup to figure out if we want to get stay together.
Jazzy
So you're saying the only way a break could be a break is if it's premeditated?
Parks
Yes. That's the way it's been explained. The way that said, we wait and then we take some time to do X, Y, and Z.
Flip
That's the breakup.
Jazzy
Breakup wasn't really like a breakup. You just, like, you were kicking it for a little bit. It wasn't really super duper serious, but then you decided to go other ways, and then you end up getting back together.
Flip
It's not a breakup.
Mal
Yo, the break conversation could be great if it wasn't with y'all, too, because y'all don't know about a break. Cause y'all don't ain't with me. But that's a great conversation. But there's nothing About a break that says premeditated, even if you premeditated.
Jazzy
Yeah.
Flip
So in the Dinell Jones.
Mal
Are y'all crazy? But y'all don't know that because y'all don't.
Flip
In this song that we talking about, he said, I just need time to see.
Mal
He is gaslighting the out of this girl. I don't care what y'all say.
Flip
Stop.
Mal
I keep saying that, okay?
Parks
If he is, you say that is the definition of a break to me. I need some time to see where I want to be means I might want to be with you or I might not. Let's take some time and figure it out. Yes, that's a break. I don't do that.
Flip
Yes, I'm a grand.
Parks
That's what I'm saying. I don't do that. We break up, you go your way, I go my way.
Mal
If.
Parks
And there's no if, we come back together. If it happens, it happens, but we're not breaking up to figure out if we want to stay together.
Joe Budden
Okay, I agree with that. We sound like, all right, we did it.
Parks
I agree with you.
Joe Budden
We get it. I don't want to break from you guys.
Parks
No heart se idiot.
Mal
Yo, how would y'all feel if I.
Joe Budden
Had, like, a heart next to one of your. A heart emoji next to your name on my phone?
Parks
I wouldn't know. I don't want mic too.
Joe Budden
No, this for real. What?
Ishmael
Capital G. Like the heart eyes or some fire out.
Parks
You don't put no emoji next to our none.
Joe Budden
How would you feel if your partner had an emoji next to somebody name.
Flip

Joe Budden
Not an eggplant or nothing.
Flip
I'm saying which one that counts?
Joe Budden

Ishmael
Can I stop you trolls? She could I pay the phone bill?

Like a vacation somewhere in south of France or wherever you be at. And then it Sunday coming.

Flip
Yo said you might not see him. He might be on the couch like Mel.
Parks
I took care. I took care of you last time at the show and got you your tickets.

Parks
It is true.
Joe Budden
That's true. I got. It's very true.
Mal
I know you got my ticket.
Parks
You even said on the pod.
Mal
I said that on the pod.

Big Freeze.
Joe Budden
Got my Ticket? I don't remember Freeze giving me my Chris Brown tickets.
Flip
He did. No, he didn't.
Parks
He did.
Flip
He didn't go.
Parks
He got him, though.
Flip
No, he didn't go. And then he had to go get him.
Mal
Yeah, I got my tickets.
Flip
He got his on his own.
Parks
No, you had tickets for the show.
Jazzy
You wanted to go to at Barque.
Mal
There we go. Yeah, but let's correct the record. Freeze got me some tickets. I dubbed them.
Parks
No, no, no, no, no. Hey, hey.
Mal
Listen, listen.

Parks
Yo, it's a totally different date.
Mal
Y'all pack sandwiches. Y'all met up, like, in the lot and walked in together. Y'all had, like, a cool gate. Stupid dub. That experience hit the gang. Yeah, I mean, it went, like, on my own. No, but Freeze is the man, too, so let me not.
Joe Budden
Let me not. Shut up.
Mal
Hey, listen, this is funny.
Parks
It's funny as hell.
Mal
Yo, y'all, Freeze got my tickets.
Flip
So you say, what the you want, nigga?
Mal
Yo, well, you wouldn't get shit without Freeze, Amanda. Oh, he'll never get shit like Freeze, Mandy and Danny Boy.
Parks
I'm not.
Flip
I'm not in the entertainment business.
Ishmael
You got it?
Flip
I don't have connections in the entertainment business.
Ishmael
You are in the entertainment business.
Parks
You are in it now.
Flip
Yeah, I am. I don't have connections in the entertainment business.
Ishmael
Well, gain them.
Joe Budden
Wait, what?
Flip

Mal
And Freeze is my connection.
Ishmael
You can get them.
Mal

You know Mouse Jones. And he just got the new big, round African earrings.
Flip
I don't know Mouse Jones. I've met Mouse Jones. Jones one time in my life.
Parks
That's my guy.
Joe Budden
But he did just have the big.
Flip
Oh, yeah.
Ishmael

Ishmael
All right, let's move on. Three years in he go this entertainment business.
Joe Budden
That nigga's light skinned Batman.
Mal
That nigga is like the Silver Surfer.
Joe Budden
I don't know what he doing.
Ishmael
Silver got to be something.
Flip
Then she just go through like vision.
Mal
He told me last week that they parked my culling in in the back.
Joe Budden
Because he was coming. And now it's just. No on the.
Flip
That ain't. That's not an industry relationship.
Joe Budden
More of a who you be kind of thing. And if you be one, if you be. If you be over here, then it's. What they don't know is that come with a little.
Ishmael
Hey, they don't know. They don't know. You let.
Flip
Yo, yo.
Joe Budden
Yo.
Flip
You're an idiot, bro.
Ishmael
He try to be humble. You try to get that humble. That. That's how you get it, being humble. Oh, no, I'm good. Nah, we see through all that. I got binoculars, night vision.
Flip
All right, well, let me get some.
Joe Budden
Chris Brow and I'm definitely going to that Chris Brown.
Ishmael
Me too.
Joe Budden
Yeah, I don't. I don't want these jokes to fly and people think I'm there when you see me. I'll be there for sure. Good show for show. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
Parks
Not missing that.
Joe Budden
Wouldn't miss it and can't wait.
Parks
You know what he's doing? This is. This is audition for the Super Bowl. You think, you think it's called the Breezy Bowl? That's the tour. And I'm gonna show y'all what I do in the stadium and I'm gonna pack them out across the country.
Mal
Yeah, they love now.
Joe Budden
And he just killed the arena tours.
Parks
I'm killing tours every year now.
Joe Budden
I'm doing stadiums.
Parks
I went over to South Africa and went to one of the biggest venues in the world.
Flip
That rights back to back me.
Joe Budden
If I seen my cousin doing that.
Mal
I'm following the bus.
Joe Budden
My cousin can't go do all that.
Mal
And I just be home like, nah, we never met.
Jazzy
What we about to meet.
Mal
We about to meet Auntie, look, he's.
Joe Budden
Got too much pride to meet his cousin.
Mal
Too much. All you gotta do is go to family reunion with that on.
Ishmael
Yeah, family reunion. He watched the show.
Mal
You got your name on it. Put the hoodie on and go to family. Go to family reunion.
Parks
Are you that ish? Yo, you're an idiot, bro.
Flip
Oh, now that gonna be.
Joe Budden

Ishmael

Joe Budden
Yeah, but y'all are related. It's love. Got you.
Parks

Ishmael

Parks
Let's start talking about love and family to this boy.
Mal
All right.
Ishmael
Come on, man.
Joe Budden

Mal

Parks
Where we at?
Mal
Where we at?
Joe Budden
Sleepers.
Mal

Joe Budden
Damn.
Mal
Yeah, Y. But now, actually we are.
Joe Budden
Me and Ice are going to have two different experiences. I'm just going to the show. Like, Ice going to be at the meet and greet.
Parks
I know, I know. Your joke was coming.
Jazzy
Yeah.
Parks
Get your. Shut off.
Joe Budden
So what's the pose?
Ishmael
Didn't you want a picture last time with Breezy and a hug and you ain't get it.
Parks
And a hug.
Ishmael
You supposed to get the picture. You talked about it.
Jazzy
Wait, Ice got you a hug? And From Chris Brown and you shitting on him like this?
Ishmael
He said, I forgot to ask. You said I forgot to ask for the picture when I was. I forgot to ask for the picture from Breezy. I remember that shit.
Parks
Yep. He said it.
Joe Budden
That was a hug.
Ishmael
No, he said it.
Mal
Hug no.
Parks
And you said, you want to get your hug. Cause you need that energy. He's on a list of people.
Joe Budden
You said that about Chris.
Parks
You did.
Ishmael
You said it here. You said it here.
Parks
My nigga. Don't pull that.
Ishmael
Don't pull that.
Parks
I don't remember.
Ishmael
Yeah, don't try to play.
Flip
Hey, Ben.
Parks
I like him light skinned.
Mal
What?
Ishmael
He got that energy. Cool. I've been this crap. I've been around him. He's cool as.
Joe Budden
I don't remember saying that about Christmas.
Mal
If I said it and they gonna.
Joe Budden
Correct the record on the receipts, then cool. I just don't remember saying that.
Ishmael
You said I forgot to accident.
Flip
I remember you said you went. You went backstage, you got your dap. You ain't get your picture.
Mal
Because I wanted to get a picture.
Joe Budden
I did want to get a picture. I didn't get a picture.
Parks
Pay the stack.
Jazzy
That's it.
Ishmael
Never. Come on, stop playing. Definitely not. You treat him like he chumped. He imagine we hear he paid the stack. I slapped fire off this. No, no, he know, but I just.
Parks
Gotta go to the meet.
Ishmael
And Green, you gotta sit and park. Now, from now on, if you pay for a picture of a breezy, sit over there. Don't sit next to me.
Joe Budden
Ice gonna wear his cuffy jeans.
Ishmael
Was what cuff it don't shit that bit. I know. Don't shit.
Joe Budden
I just go with his.
Parks
What's that?
Ishmael
You remember back in the Days. You used to cuff your.
Joe Budden
Oh, I wasn't talking about that.
Parks
Oh, now I gotta look.
Flip
Yeah, I gotta look.
Ishmael
You. When we was younger, we cuffed our jeans up.
Parks
He's not talking about that.
Flip
He talking about some other level. Yo, you're a fool.
Joe Budden
Like the old apple bottles where this, the Kendrick joint where this is sitting a little bit. All right, all right, all right. You gotta go to the beginning.
Mal
Only you down, boy.
Ishmael
All right. Only you.
Flip
All right.
Mal
You got to go with the fresh bbf. With the padded skims.
Parks
Hit the skim store first.
Ishmael
With the padded, padded skims.
Joe Budden
Oh, oh, my Lord.
Mal
All right, come on. Something had to come out.
Parks
Well, you.
Mal
Some in music.
Joe Budden
Some had to come out in music.
Parks
Couple things dropped. Dirk dropped his album. It's called Deep Thoughts. I'm gonna give Dirk some grace. I did listen to the project, and I can tell this was a really hard project for him to put out, given everything that's going on in this.
Joe Budden
He's about to be serious for a second. So let me see.
Mal
Content wise, Ice is about to give Dirk grace.
Joe Budden
I jumped off that bandwagon into some Simone Bowles type of landing, nigga.
Mal
Soon as I seen the exit off this bandwagon, I left. Traded all the stock in.
Joe Budden
I am off of this one. Okay.
Mal
Talk to Ice.
Parks
I'm still a fan and I've been looking.
Mal
I want him to be all right, but sorry, buddy, I'm not with the music drops, so.
Parks
Well, I can even understand that in your position, you might need. You know what I mean?
Mal
I get it.
Parks
I get it.
Joe Budden
Yeah. I get it.
Parks
With what his content usually kind of revolves around. Given your current legal predicament, it wouldn't be smart to do that.
Joe Budden
True.
Parks
So you're in a sticky spot here.
Joe Budden
True.
Parks
I got a drop in the album. They muted certain lines, you know, and I could tell some of these songs might not have been the songs. I might have had other songs. I wanted to go instead.
Jazzy
Yeah.
Parks
So with that being said, I didn't enjoy it as much, but I understand it, so I'm not gonna really shit on it. Cause this is a real tricky album to try to put out right now for the type of artist that he is.
Joe Budden
Right.
Parks
There's a couple songs on there. Be clear. It's a couple joints on there.
Flip
You can't talk about sliding and all.
Parks
That other shit on there. He can't like. It's lines in there where he's saying, I, you know, I, I, I paid for bail for such and such with money from a Feature verse. You can't say that now, so you have to blink the name out. You have to. You're trying to talk and be who you are. The voice of the streets, the voice of the trenches. But I'm in a real bad legal predicament right now. I can't really talk.
Joe Budden
Is J. Cole on the album?
Parks
No, Cole's not on. The features are Janae.
Joe Budden
All right. It's the little choir that was there.
Flip
I was just about to say, should have went Cole and did a whole album.
Joe Budden
Half of that choir, at least. At least. Little Jerry, Anybody? One person.
Parks
It's not many features, but none of them. It's Janae Future Huncho. I might be missing somebody, but that's it. It's like four features. Oh, Lil Baby Freeze.
Ishmael
Let me ask you a question.
Mal
I don't want y'all.
Joe Budden
No, I'm bad. I am going to interrupt you real quick because I want to forget.
Mal
Yo, this is so entertaining. Now, I don't want y'all to stop. I want to be alive to see.
Joe Budden
Y'All totally kill this hip hop.
Ishmael
That's what I was about to ask. You think that hip hop is.
Mal
I'm too invested now.
Ishmael
You think hip hop is on his way out the door with all the incarcerations?
Joe Budden
Let's kill it.
Parks
No, let's kill it. That's only. This portion of hip hop is maybe that.
Mal
Maybe.
Parks
Maybe that. That drill rap. Because, again, a lot of people are incarcerated.
Jazzy
The people that are making music about killing and actually killing are gonna have a hard time making music.
Ishmael
Yeah, but they were. They had control of the market for a while, right?
Jazzy
I mean, I wouldn't say that, but they. They had a run.
Parks
They were being pushed. They had a run. They were being pushed to the forefront.
Joe Budden
Yeah.
Parks
Yes.
Joe Budden
They had a run.
Ishmael
So how does that look now, right? I mean, we look great. We're not taking the. A lot of people have been on the Cardi album, right? Just name his name, Playboy.
Parks
Cardi.
Ishmael
Yeah. People have been making fun of that. And, like, the music, that's. The artists that people look forward to seeing are currently locked up.
Parks
Like, not dropping. That's only a small portion. You still have rappers that are dropping. You know what I'm saying? You still got.
Ishmael
But are they moving the needle, man? Are they moving the needle?
Mal
I don't give a. With y'all, Kendrick.
Parks
Luther has been number one for how many weeks now?
Ishmael
All right. Yes, Kendrick.
Parks
All right.
Joe Budden
You got that one person.
Parks
You got. You got. Drake is still drinking. Nokia is still moving.
Joe Budden
That's two people.
Parks
The type of music that's.
Joe Budden
No, no, no. Names one people.
Parks
That's. I mean, the charts is just them right now.
Joe Budden
I don't.
Parks
I'm talking about the charts.
Mal
Name who's dropping whoever you want to name.
Ishmael
I think Rocket Roll is coming back.
Joe Budden
To fight the game.
Mal
Yeah.
Ishmael
Rock and roll.
Joe Budden
Yeah.
Mal
Neil. Neil D. Yo, this is Dead Dying. These niggas is selling ass for a fraction of a fraction of a penny. But albums are dropping less. You are seeing musicians less. More and more musicians are having to get it from the backyard or from some other means. They not giving you the money that you earned. This shit is over, man. Shit is fucking destroying and rebuilding in front of us, and that's not what we talking about right now. Yeah, that's maybe a deeper conversation, but a large portion of this shit is all of you idiots just talking about shit.
Jazzy
Yeah, it is, yo.
Mal
It is, yo. I've. Listen, I've heard more Yellow Beezy verses than I've ever heard in the last two weeks, to my surprise. He's nice.
Ishmael
Yes.
Mal
I would never know that, because I tap out of a certain faction of hip hop. The Yellow Beezy kid could rap.
Joe Budden
And when I hear the rap, guess what he doing?
Mal
You guessed it.
Flip
Tell him.
Mal
Tell him. I'm like, damn, this nice. But he's telling right now. All of these niggas talk too fucking much.
Parks
No, what's happening.
Mal
That's all I'm talking about.
Flip
That.
Parks
That sector of it. What's happening is you got street niggas, gang niggas rapping. It's not rappers talking about this. You got people that's living this now saying, hey, let me try to rap. And we got this thing about hip hop where you got to be authentic. We champion authenticity. We want everybody to be true to who you are. So their idea of that is, okay, let me tell y'all who I am.
Flip
No, but you don't got to be specific in all the shit you did.
Parks
They don't know. They don't know the difference.
Flip
NWA was talking about street. Yeah, but all the rappers talk about street shit.
Parks
Ice Cube wasn't a street nigga. Somebody was talking about street shit.
Flip
Eazy, E was.
Parks
I'm talking about. Yeah, just easy.
Flip
See what I'm saying?
Parks
Just easy. But I'm saying a lot of these kids today are doing way worse shit than NWA was talking about and doing and telling their real stories. They not sitting there telling what my mans and them did. What I heard these niggas putting in the work themselves. And talking about it.
Flip
That's my point, though, but.
Mal
And I ain't even really talking about them.
Joe Budden
Cause they powerless.
Mal
It's the people that are giving them.
Joe Budden
The situation for them to do what they want.
Flip
But even that Joe Mobb Deep was talking about shooting that out in the hallway and all that other shit. Listen, let me finish. Mobb Deep might not have been doing the shootouts, but if you are an artist and you can paraphrase what your experiences have been, you don't gotta say, yo, I caught that nigga outside the 711 at 311 on a Friday, and he had on a blue shirt. You don't have to say that, bro. If you're an artist, you could say, yo, we caught him.
Jazzy
But these guys aren't an artist. Spectacle.
Parks
That's what I'm saying. They're not.
Flip
They are artists.
Jazzy
They are.
Parks
No, they are. There are so many artists to rap for sure, that still don't.
Ishmael
That'll make you an artist.
Parks
Artist is secondary to what they do.
Jazzy
Yeah, yeah.
Flip
I'm not.
Parks
That's what I'm saying.
Flip
I'm not gonna get the cops. My play by play. I'm gonna say, yo, we caught this over here. Wet the car up da da, da, da. Wrap myself.
Jazzy
Some of these guys might not be the most poetic. So they're not, like, good with a little metaphor.
Parks
And not simply the rappers today, they biggest thing is being called out as a fraud.
Joe Budden
All right?
Parks
So to them, they feel like, I gotta let you know, that's our shit. Yes.
Flip
Or they gonna call out roll call.
Parks
No, no, no, listen. We on the same side.
Flip
8C, 21, 24P.
Mal
Locking.
Ishmael
I agree with Crazy.
Parks
It's gonna be bad.
Joe Budden
That's one of the fundamental differences that I found way back in the day when the gang started to infiltrate Jersey City and was just running up on niggas and trying to see what's good. You down. You not get down and lay down. What type of. Like, Casanova had a phone call the other day that went public. And in the call, he was like, yeah, man, I'm telling you. Because don't you know you have to denounce your shit publicly if. Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. So, yeah, man. Such and such a smart. Because he got on the record, he announced that shit. He negated that shit. And Senator, my brain early on would say, even if I wanted to be that, it seemed like the smart way to be that and do that with.
Mal
The most success is to not announce it.
Parks
Yeah, no.
Flip
Yes and no.
Parks
Hold on, hold on.
Mal
I'm not arguing it. No, I'm not arguing it.
Parks
No. Because there's the other side.
Mal
I know what, I know what that is. So I'm not arguing it. I'm saying what my brain said strategically when.
Flip
Gotcha.
Joe Budden
Yeah, that's. That's all I'm saying.
Flip
Some of. But some of them you can't denounce.
Parks
It publicly and some of them social media reason you get to move around the way you move around.
Ishmael
So they're gonna be. You can't separate from the reputation of what some of the stand for. You can't just denounce them.
Parks
Yeah, you gotta.
Ishmael
When you outside with them and the protection, how many people coming out because you represent this gang, this, you know, it's, it's social media.
Jazzy
Social media.
Ishmael
I feel like a lot of this is a lot of that denounce end up getting DP'd.
Joe Budden
Yeah.
Mal
But you know what happened too?
Joe Budden
This is somewhat a good topic. Yeah, some of this is a real good topic.
Mal
It is also what happened. The same way that we talk about.
Joe Budden
The same way that we talk about labels, removing the sub labels and production companies that develop A and R and basically day to day handle their acts. Right. Like a Rockefeller disturbing the peace, a fucking murder anchor. So. But when there's the erasure of all of them now and the label wants.
Mal
To become the direct to the act, there is nobody that understands culture. Culture, monitoring culture, day to day, managing culture.
Joe Budden
So it's just a clusterfuck.
Parks
Let me ask you a question about. I would agree with that.
Mal
These are, these are purposely looking at to give them deals. Who.
Parks
We know what you gonna do and we know you ain't gonna be here long.
Jazzy
We want you.
Ishmael
Exactly.
Parks
But look, let me ask you a question about that. You mentioned like the, the, the disturbing the pieces and all these sub labels right. From the artist side who's been hearing the stories of okay, if I signed to you, then you're signed to you, then you're signed to you. I'm getting even less money. It make you not want to go that route anyway. Okay, but you know what I'm saying.
Mal
Yeah, I understand that. But now there's less stars too.
Parks
There you go.
Mal
You can do it your way. I'm telling you how to be a star.
Flip
True.
Joe Budden
Right.
Flip
And I'm telling you that with my relationships and my 30, 40 years in this business, I know the ins and outs. So you gon do this also back.
Jazzy
In the day, the people that were running the production companies and the boutique Labels and such and such were usually street dudes that were trying to steer the artists away from really in the right way.
Mal
Yeah, the music industry should have handled the hybrid of artists that now is.
Joe Budden
Also the street nigga.
Mal
Like, the car industry handled the thought of hybrid vehicles. Like, there was a time where they thought that was just going to take over. And then they looked at analytics and was like, no, the economy and the mass audience is not ready for just hybrid cars 100%. So slow down on the production.
Joe Budden
Let's get back to what we're doing here. And slow roll this.
Mal
It's too many, too fast, too soon.
Joe Budden
With all of these.
Parks
But I think that's.
Ishmael
But it's programmed that. That way. I mean, the numbers, the clicks, the attentions, the Internet, they only pay attention to a video that's. Let's do a violence.
Flip
Cause y'all say that a lot, Right? But from a business standpoint, I'm. You know, I don't. I'm just the business standpoint. If I see that all of these artists that are coming out right, they just fly by night.
Parks
Artists.
Ishmael
Yeah.
Flip
They're not sticking.
Jazzy
Right?
Flip
You get what I'm saying? Like, no disrespect to Dirk and them. Them niggas was hot as fish grease three years ago. It's not sticking no more. So I would look at it and be like, yo, how could I revamp this so I could get a ja rule, so I could get a looter, so I could get somebody that could get a 1012 year run that we could be profitable with? That don't make sense in a business stance.
Parks
Of course it does.
Joe Budden
It may not.
Parks
It may not today. Not today because of the microwave society we live in today. So now it's just.
Mal
I could keep.
Flip
I could just keep fabricating new artists and keep cracking them.
Parks
I get seven of y'all, and I can hit y'all 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 and then go get another group.
Ishmael
Hey, yo, when you watch Versus Building.
Joe Budden
With one, and then God forbid, you learn the game.
Flip
You gotta learn the game and get.
Mal
And now you. I'm gonna always try to get the star quarterback on the rookie contract for the cheat.
Parks
Absolutely.
Ishmael
You watch a kid, let's say a kid in West Bubblefuck and just start dissing people that he have issues with. And see the numbers on that video, see where it goes. So they now, the labels, they're predatory. They take advantage of that.
Flip
But that ain't no longevity in that.
Ishmael
I mean, but to them, they're not instant gratification. Instant gratification is the main component of kids getting killed.
Joe Budden
And I was about to say longevity, it's over.
Parks
And look, not to be. Not to be from the label standpoint, not to be fucked up, you worth more when you die.
Ishmael
True.
Parks
So if I. If you got a couple projects, them shit's gonna shoot up the charts. Now, I don't gotta break nothing down. It is some longevity there. Rest in Peace. They still streaming Juice. Wrld, they still streaming triple X. Rest in peace.
Ishmael
And I low key think that these labels in the contract got some sort of insurance on. On these when they pass away.
Parks
Absolutely.
Ishmael
To make them get money. Like it's some crazy going on.
Flip
It's risk assessment.
Parks
That's crazy. It's risk assessment, bro. It's again, as a person that's worked in regular insurance, you look at a situation and you see, hey, what's the chances are what we got to pay out?
Mal
Yeah.
Ishmael
We just talked about this.
Joe Budden
Yeah.
Parks
So let's. Let's weigh it on, let's weigh it all out and then we move accordingly.
Joe Budden
Yeah. How did niggas speak to you when they didn't agree with your quote?
Parks
I wasn't doing that. That I was. I was doing the clean.
Ishmael
What?
Parks
Oh, well, not what I tell you. I had people go the off.
Flip
Now, he had the same.
Parks
He was on the phone. You don't want the phone. I don't got to see you. But I. But no, no, I've had people go, you got lucky. I know what you're talking about.
Ishmael
He told the one. You go there with the.
Mal
With the little cuticle.
Flip
Now you come out with the clipboard.
Parks
Now they got the iPad. Now that's the adjuster that stick your clipboard.
Joe Budden
They gotta go to ICE and get. Get military insurance, boy. You won't.
Mal
Are you crazy?
Parks
I hear you.
Mal
I would get the best deal ever.
Joe Budden
If ice is in that cubicle.
Parks
Okay?
Mal
What?
Jazzy
Me too? I don't think so.
Parks
I don't think so either.
Joe Budden
Just to whip the out of ice.
Flip
You're going to jail.
Ishmael
You're right.
Joe Budden
You're right.
Mal
Hey, yo, talk all that tough, make this say 20amonth, big dog.
Parks
Yo, no, I'm gonna make this say 91 1.
Flip
Yo, this your name on this name.
Mal

Flip
Okay, yo, okay, you Lamont.
Mal
This your home address, right?
Parks
Yeah, yeah.
Flip
This your last name.
Mal
Yo, check this out.
Parks
Terroristic.
Mal
Next month you start paying my insurance for a year. All right?
Flip
Yeah, I think it'll be wise for you to pay my shit, Tariq.
Parks
Hold that thought, big dog.
Mal
Nigga, what? Food stamps with the insurance. If I walk in that place and freezes in the cubicle, why is my what stupid?
Joe Budden
You better fix me up.
Parks
No deductible.
Mal
No deductible, no nothing.
Parks
I'mma fix you till I'm 75. Fixing.
Flip
I'll make you an offer you cannot refuse.
Mal
Is so dumb.
Jazzy
You know, Let me run this up the chain real quick.
Ishmael
You ever notice that people like the insurance, they always get choked? Like when. Don't punch them.
Parks
You see the repo dude get choked. Did you see the video?
Mal
The repo.
Ishmael
Those get choked. Those again. The Jehovah Witnesses, all them. Everybody get choked.
Mal
Putting Ice by the little green plastic garbage. And it's short. You be dead before Arsenal pop up. No, you see, my license plate is X. You son of a. 4, 5, 7.

Ishmael

Mal
Yo, I would show. Yeah, I'd show nice to all the cubicles. They can laugh like domino.
Parks
Be like, give me a staple.
Mal
Start stapling your head.
Flip
Start a staple you on your head.
Ishmael
Oh, shit.
Mal
Parks.
Ishmael
I'm laughing.
Parks
Parks.
Mal
No, listen, y'all. N. I got prize picks coming soon.
Joe Budden
Number one.
Mal
But let me just say this first.
Joe Budden
This is why it's funny.
Mal
A few months ago, Ice T got pulled over.
Joe Budden
Oh, shit.
Ishmael
I remember that. By the police in Jersey. Down the block from dmv.
Parks
And he on his way.
Mal
They said he was down the block from the dmv?
Parks
Yes, sir.
Mal
And he had an exchange with the.
Joe Budden
Cop that wasn't the greatest, but all Ice T kept telling him was, yo, man, the DMV is right there.
Mal
I could walk there.
Joe Budden
So it didn't go the greatest, but the longer the video played.
Mal
And once they said this was in Jersey City, and I just started watching the background. I know that dmv. That's the DMV right there by Kerry Woods.
Joe Budden
All of us go to and get.
Parks
Our shit off about 440.
Mal
No. Well, yeah, if you come up to 440 and take it all the way down. Yeah, and go up the DMV right there.
Flip
That shit used to be empty back in the day.
Mal
That's the one.
Flip
That shit used to be empty.
Mal
But boy, that made the Ice TV.
Joe Budden
Video so much funnier.
Mal
Cause that shit is literally where he got pulled over. You could see the DMV in the video.
Parks
Oh, nah, it's right behind us.
Flip
Them and they still.
Mal
That cop just being a dick. Oh, my God.
Parks
Having a bad day. Want to take it out on somebody.
Mal
And shout out to that DMV over there by Curry Woods. They be holding down.
Joe Budden
They hold it down.
Mal
If you don't want to lying anyway.
Joe Budden
What? Listen. No, that would be lines, boy.
Jazzy
Facts.
Flip
Ain't nobody used to know about that one.
Parks
I just had a plug.
Joe Budden
Y'all did.
Flip
But as this county ain't know about.
Parks
That, my man passed away.
Joe Budden
Dmv.
Parks
What?
Flip
What happened with the Ice T shirt?
Mal
Oh, no.
Joe Budden
They eventually did let him.
Ishmael
Yeah, the sergeant. The sergeant came because he wanted to tow the car. He like, you ain't supposed to be driving. So now I'mma tow it. And Ice Tea was going over. You're not towing my car. Call your sergeant. And the sergeant came in new iced tea.
Joe Budden
And they had to exchange.
Ishmael
Yeah, let him.
Joe Budden
But the shit was literally 50ft away from.
Ishmael
Yeah, he had his paperwork.
Flip
That power, bro.
Parks
That.
Flip
That fake center power.
Mal
White power.
Flip
White power.
Parks
And they get tight when you driving something that they know is out of their reach.
Joe Budden
Yeah, Ice Tea got toys, too.
Flip
Yes, he did that. Had toys for 20 years.
Joe Budden
He got toys.
Parks
He still got him.
Flip
He had him for 20 years, 30 years.
Joe Budden
And to pull up on you in some of them while. While you in some dusty.
Flip
I ain't going to lie.
Parks
That made me feel.
Ishmael
What up, Joe?
Flip
Remember back in the day, that little Dunkin Donuts I get out that van that just pull up with the big white. Like you said, it's different White. Yo, my van White.
Mal

Mal
Back when was broke, if you had.
Flip
A binge, it was popping.
Joe Budden
And look to beat at for the foreseeable future.
Flip
If you had a binge, you was popping this just floating down the street. Look like the tires don't even touch the ground.
Mal
Get on a cloud. What I see, pull up and act.
Joe Budden
Like he don't even see your car. Like it's invisible. Like that's how much he respect the game.
Mal
Cut you off, turn over. He ain't Gonna say nothing about it.

Ishmael
Cause I've been sitting here doing a lot of clocking. Yeah. I've been sitting here thinking, right? Like, I know she's on leave or whatever she's doing. She getting paid. So I was wondering if I could get extended that same grace. I would have been killing him. Three three pods off. Can't vlog time. I would have been in the UK like this. Yo, shout out to. It was a damn shame.
Flip
What's up, bro? What's up, bro?

Mal
You can be free, though. You can do exactly what Mel's doing.
Joe Budden
But it's just gonna hit a little different.
Mal
A lot different. Your check ain't gonna look like her check. Oh.
Joe Budden
Oh, damn.
Mal
I'm turn on you at least from here anyway.
Ishmael
Yeah, I'm gonna turn on you, sir.
Mal
What y'all do outside of here?
Ishmael
I'm going to turn on you soon, y'all. It's favoritism and it's going to hurt me.
Flip
It's favoritism.
Ishmael
I love you, son.
Joe Budden
No, we can't. We for life. We for life.
Parks
Locked in.
Ishmael
That's why you in the situation you in now.
Joe Budden

Ishmael
That's why you can't. You don't know when you're. I ain't going to say that.
Joe Budden

Ishmael
He's stressed. In a good way.
Flip
He stressed. Why he stressed?
Ishmael
In the positive. You know why he stressed?
Flip

Ishmael
And which are they leaving you?
Joe Budden
I don't know. She won't tell me. And every time I ask her, she get mad.
Jazzy
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Parks
You can't ask that.
Ishmael
Why would you?
Joe Budden
What? I done asked 19 times because it.
Parks
Looked like you're trying to set something.
Flip
What do you mean?
Parks
Why? Why you need to know what you keep asking.
Ishmael
You can, but are you buying a ticket for her to go home?
Joe Budden
But of course. Don't be stupid.
Ishmael
So what I'm saying. So he has a right to ask.
Parks
No, he don't. He don't. Whenever she won that ticket, he could afford it.
Flip
No, she already got the money for the ticket.
Ishmael
I don't agree with that.
Joe Budden
I think that's.
Ishmael
Come on, Paul.
Joe Budden
Odd. But you got to respect the game.
Jazzy
You gotta.
Mal
Yeah, you do have, fam.
Flip
How do you ask your girl that comes from out of state?
Ishmael
Yo, yo, when are you going home? Like, so I know how to prepare when you leave. Prepare your flight. Prepare.
Flip
She got that. She got the all of you gotta.
Parks
Just ask other questions.
Ishmael
Crazy.
Jazzy
You gotta ask other questions.
Flip
You could do your and I'll be right here when you get back.
Joe Budden
You can't look at your girl and say I got to do.
Parks
You can't look at your girl and.
Mal
Say, yo, when are you leaving?
Ishmael
What do you mean you can't look at your girl?
Mal
You don't have a girl, don't want a girl. And has made no change in the his behavior that appears that says a girl welcoming to a girl by mistake. Cory, yo, when you look at a girl. I got some to do. What does the summer of Cory look.
Parks
Like as the why are you asking me when I'm leaving?
Flip
Yo, what? Why you leaving?
Joe Budden
Why?
Flip
Why I got to leave? I got some to do.
Joe Budden
Cory going to flip that house money.
Flip
You finish? Yeah, you crazy.
Joe Budden
My baby won't tell me and she get mad when I say her ask.
Mal
15 not mad at her.
Parks
I understand why she.
Flip
I understand.
Mal
And every time I ask, she say.
Joe Budden
Oh, that's how you want it. Don't worry about it. Champ. Not champ. A sweetheart or something. Slick.
Mal
I got you. I'm gonna tell you.
Joe Budden
I'm gonna let you know. And then she don't ever let me know. So it's a trick. Cause it begs for you to ask again. Hey, that question I asked you and.
Mal
Been asking same answer.
Ishmael
I'll let you know what is your reason for asking?
Joe Budden
Yeah, I think that's weird to even.
Mal
Need a reason for asking.
Ishmael
I agree. I'm with you.
Mal
I think that's weird. But women, y'all ain't gonna give me.
Joe Budden
Your trouble at home.
Mal
Maybe I'm playing unpopular. Sound crazy to me. I don't think we sound crazy, though.
Flip
I know I do.
Ishmael
It's hard to ask my wife the same thing. Like I got.
Joe Budden
I don't think we sound crazy.
Parks
You asking your wife when you leaving?
Ishmael
No, my wife, if so, if. If we're somewhere.
Mal
When are you gonna do something that's different?
Flip
That's not going home, that lives out of state.
Mal
When you gonna get the out my face?
Joe Budden
No, you can't do that.
Ishmael
Can't do that.
Parks
That.
Joe Budden
Cory, you can't do that.
Mal
That's.
Ishmael
That's Corey is nothing.
Parks
I'm not listening to y'all.
Ishmael
He not going to do that. But Joe does have a Joe does have a right to ask her when she's.
Flip
No, he don't.
Parks
No, you.
Mal
I asked my girl that because when she's around, she encompasses all of my.
Joe Budden
Time and attention because that's how in love I am.
Mal

But in relation to what we saying, with saying no to the charities or the kids with the candy or whatever, in episode one of this show, the family is looking to. Was looking to adopt, and something happened. So now that they got this dwarfism kid, the adoption place called up the family and was like, yo, listen, we got a daughter. We got a girl that we think you would love. So I'm in bed watching. I'm like, tell me more. So they keep going. Yeah, she's seven years old. Her last family didn't want her. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

Wait. This is the best show in the world. I can't wait to tell y'all about it.
Joe Budden
But anyway, they said her last family didn't want to kick her out. She has dwarfism. She's Ukrainian, and we don't have any of her school records or dental records, but she's just looking for a home.
Jazzy
This is what that horror movie was based on, too.

Before we have to send little Natalia off to a forced dog. So the mom was like, oh, don't worry.
Mal
We'll find the money.
Joe Budden
Me and my girl was in the bad life.

I know it's not supposed to be funny, but if you have a sense of humor, this is the best show in the world. Because listen, I've seen the real story of this. And we get into Marvin Sapso. I've seen the real story in Natalia Grace. In the real story, the girl don't look weird. She just look like an older girl. She 14. Kid. This girl and this shit, they doing the whole dwarfism thing.

Joe Budden
At 7 years old.

You have to give them your tax return. And they want. They do the calculation, and that's the number we want. I swear to God, I've seen it with my own two hours.

Jazzy
Why?
Joe Budden
Why? And I don't want to step on a good joke, cuz boy, this is funny. But if we would have just had a better attorney or better representation when racism was being decided on, the outcome would have gone differently. Like this is a huge nugget of leverage at the. At the racism negotiations table.
Jazzy
Church bed. Right?
Joe Budden
Some. The head of whoever was repping the whites in that should have went back and told the rest of the whites. Actually they did. It was too obvious. So they definitely did. Hey, if we continue with racism, there's a chance church is sa. They'll leave with the BOP and our churches will remain this way sauceless for eternity.
Ishmael
Parks is right.
Joe Budden
That should be some even smarter white popped up and was like or we can continue racism and find a way to steal the bop.
Jazzy
They figure that one out. And that's what Elvis came here to tell you. Okay.

Flip
This should be dope in a little triangle coming down.
Ishmael
And they got the bell, too. All the way to take out the bell, too. They got the real bell.
Mal
That's where we should have won in.
Joe Budden
The race negotiation, too.

Ishmael
And if they don't want to build it, we'll just go overseas, man.
Joe Budden
Let the water out.
Ishmael
We'll give them an offer they can't refuse.
Joe Budden
We had the state attorney. First case. First case fixed. Public defenders face racism.

Mal
Everybody is kicking LeBron James ass for going to Pat McAfee's show and not.
Joe Budden
A black person show.
Mal
And this LeBron versus Stephen A. Smith thing is ongoing. It doesn't seem like it's going to end. Heated up the other day when LeBron did Pat McAfee's show when the Lakers played Indiana the other day. Pat McAfee show comes on immediately. Immediately after sport.
Joe Budden
First take. Yeah, after first take. So this was LeBron just getting his shit off. And boy, did he get his shit off about everything. I'm talking his relationship with Michael Jordan. He went back to the third. The.

That nigga sent shots at Brian Windhurst.
Mal
Stephen A. Smith, just all of me, all of sports media, basically. He went crazy. He went crazy.
Joe Budden
And there are conflicting feelings on it. Some people love it, some people hate it. Stephen A. Then replied on his show, it just doesn't look like this thing is going to end anytime soon. LeBron says Stephen A.
Mal
Has been on a Taylor Swift, like, tour, tour run. Talking about their encounter, which started with Stephen A. Saying, I had no intention of ever.
Joe Budden
Talking about this encounter up until I heard the Richard Jefferson leak. Denny had so much to say about it.

I don't know.
Jazzy
I'm starting to feel like, what's LeBron's.
Ishmael
Reason for doing that to Stephen A. Did he give that reason?
Joe Budden
He don't with him. Yeah, LeBron doesn't with Stephen A. That part is. Is 100 clear. If I'm Steve, they don't with each other.
Parks
If I'm Stephen A. I want this to keep going.
Flip
Yeah, of course.
Parks
For sure.
Flip
Stephen A. Stephen A. Selling content.
Parks
I just got this big contract over here. Yeah.
Flip
Yes, you do.
Parks
Yes, you do.
Joe Budden
No, you don't.
Parks
In the content game today. Yeah, you do.
Joe Budden
No, you don't.
Parks
You sat there and just told us about shooting at other. At the top and all of this. You got the biggest athlete. Athlete. The biggest brand, biggest star damn near in the world.
Flip
It's damn near marketing for you. You telling the label, yo, dog, who could LeBron come out of hiding for to give this much attention to? Outside of myself, nobody.
Jazzy
Yeah.
Flip
You hear what I'm saying? Like, if you. If you okay with standing in the villain role, which we've seen Stephen A. Smith do countless times, then it don't affect you. It's like academics or you or somebody that don't mind it. Cause the gig is the gig.
Joe Budden
It's not like me and it's not like academics because we're independent contractors and we do everything we do, for the most part, independently.
Parks
Got you.
Joe Budden
Stephen A. Smith is not that. And let me paint the other side for you.
Flip
Go ahead. I'm listening.
Joe Budden
Stephen A. Just got his big contract. Actually, all this shit broke on the same day it was announced that he got his big contract. 5 years, 20 million per. Talk about it now, first of all, let's clap for that. First of all, let's clap for that. I'm sure a large part of his negotiation was the standing of first take. The ratings of first take and how long they have been number one and the separation between them and whoever number two is. Pat McAfee for Stephen A. Represents Joe Rogan to me in the Spotify deal. He came in new way of doing things. They're allowing him to curse. They're giving him the big guests. Aaron Rodgers, the other guest that we.
Mal
Not seeing on the first time, he.
Flip
Had them, but Aaron Rodgers was his man prior to him even getting it, he had them.
Parks
That's part of what we. So was his leverage.
Flip
That's his leverage.
Parks
That's his L. I got something.
Joe Budden
It ain't just Aaron Rodgers. It's Bill Belichick is.
Mal
Yeah, there's a different. There's a different caliber and cache to the guests that are on Pat McAfee versus what we're.
Joe Budden
We have been seeing lately from first take. That matters here.
Ishmael
Okay.
Mal
That matters here.
Parks
Okay.
Mal
So now you have LeBron James, who doesn't do this at all, coming to park on the show directly after you for one hour, totally unfiltered. What that does for the ratings of what somebody is looking at as your competitor.
Joe Budden
You don't want that to continue. No, you don't. No, you don't.
Flip
I don't think. I don't think you.
Mal
Because when you go clap back and he did clap back, it will never be as loud as one, LeBron clapping back. And two, a strategic, meticulous, petty.
Joe Budden
LeBron clapping back. Because that move with Pat McAfee is a petty move.
Parks
Absolutely.
Mal
I love the pettiness of the move. But that, that's a business altering move. It's not just, hey, we chit chatting back and forth.
Parks
That's where I disagree. I disagree too.
Joe Budden
You can disagree all you want. It's what ESPN is looking like.
Parks
Nobody else over here could get LeBron out to come out the house and address them. That's one.
Flip
And LeBron not going. LeBron are going to keep going to Pat Mc McAfee. I have my own platforms, two of them, where I could keep addressing this every single day and everybody gonna tune in to see what the fuck I gotta say to him.
Joe Budden
It's not gonna be good.
Flip
LeBron not gonna keep going to Pat McAfee to go back and forth, back and forth.
Mal
LeBron ain't gonna keep going nowhere. LeBron is media. So the one time he popped out, he popped out to what some would say is your competitor even in the same building. And I made those numbers for the day do something different.
Joe Budden
True.
Jazzy
Yeah.
Mal
No, that's not good. Good. That's not good.
Flip
I think that there's no world where.
Mal
That'S good that day.
Jazzy
It's not good. I think long term, it could be good.
Ishmael
There's all people.
Flip
Stephen A. Smith's reply.
Mal
Not that many. Not that many.
Jazzy
And not for nothing.
Mal
He did. I went on YouTube. The YouTube click. Hit a million in seven hours.
Flip
Okay.
Jazzy
For which?
Mal
For withdrawing on Pat McAfee.
Jazzy
Right.
Mal
An hour eight. Somewhere early. It was at a million. Pretty early. I'm just saying it's tough to compete at that clip. And if one of the more powerful voices in the world just focused their energy on you solely for the next year because you was talking about my kid, you would have to be a brilliant, a level spin artist to turn.
Joe Budden
That into a positive. I don't see it as good. I don't.
Jazzy
I think it's good, too, because Stephen A's initial clapback was on his platform.
Parks
Exactly.
Mal
And what are y'all telling me? How could it be good? I just signed my contract. I'm locked in for five. I'm locked in for the next five years at 20 million per. Whatever I do to the numbers, it don't do nothing to change what I see.
Jazzy
But it does for his show that he owns.
Parks
Yeah.
Flip
So let's just say hypothetical. I don't know his numbers, but let's say real quick. Real quick. And I'm only looking at the numbers change.
Parks
I looked at the number numbers. The. The full episode. LeBron on Pat McAfee. 1.5 million views a day ago, Stephen A. Fires back on first take. One million views. That ain't that far off, bro. So. So my numbers is up too.
Joe Budden
I don't think it's good.
Jazzy
And his. His on his show. 1.116 billion.
Flip
So that's my point. So let's say hypothetically, Stephen A. Smith is used to getting 400,000. I don't know his numbers. I'm just making up a number. And now I got the 1 million because of my beef with LeBron. And I got a mic in front of me twice a day. Come on, bro. Like you welcome in that?
Parks
Absolutely.
Flip
And I think ESPN may be welcoming that.
Joe Budden
Of course ESPN gonna welcome all of it.
Parks
ESPN is universal.
Mal
Also potentially run the risk of isolating.
Joe Budden
Or not isolating, but burning the bridge to some of the relationships that you so covet in the league.
Flip
That's a different argument.
Parks
Yeah, that's.
Mal
But it's not a different. I hate when you do that.
Joe Budden
Don't do that. It's the same argument.
Flip
But those I disagree.
Mal
I'm. I'm. My question is the risk worth the reward?
Flip
I'm answer you.
Mal
I think that that's my question.
Flip
It's potential. You burning the bridge with this one particular person. But you also could be the mouthpiece for a whole bunch of people that had your same exact sentiment.
Parks
I was scared to say something true.
Joe Budden
But. But they're scared to say something.
Flip
I know. So now you should be like, you're not.
Mal
Don't tell me that you echo my mouthpiece. Cause that's not support. The nigga that's standing back there that feel the same way I feel. They won't talk. That's not support.
Flip
But it's not a bridge that got burnt. It's a bridge that might have been. Yo, you.
Mal
And I'm only bringing that up because the rumor circulated shortly after that there are certain NBA players that were standing.
Joe Budden
Against Stephen A. Smith.
Mal
Like that rumor went out. I'm not just throwing shit at a wall.
Parks
It's possible.
Flip
I'm sure that could be true.
Parks
But now. Now if that's true, you think the opposite could also be true. That there were certain players who will now fuck with Stephen A. Smith. Now that when you say opposite, I.
Mal
Look at it the other way. There will be certain media members. That's what I'm seeing now.
Joe Budden
A war being a war being inflicted.
Mal
Between certain media, sportscasters and media members and people to cover the NBA and actual NBA athletes that are media. Cuz that's the other side of this too. LeBron James is media now.
Flip
Yeah, yeah. Draymond.
Mal
Is they media.
Jazzy
That's the same kind of media. They'll be clear.
Flip
They had it there.
Mal
It's media.
Joe Budden
Media's media.
Flip
Media. They had to do.
Jazzy
If I'm around the clock, journalistic media 247 damn near with Stephen A. Smith. And LeBron James pops out for his. His show for a couple months a year. You're not. It's not the same media.
Joe Budden
It is the same. That reminds me of. For me, that reminds me of Dub B 20 years ago telling me that the rapper with the hot ad lib will always beat the rapper with a hot verse. Because the hot ad lib is just.
Mal
A hot ad lib. It's power. It's just a quick line and the fans know the line. And it's oh shit, we got 30 billion fans screaming at ad lib.
Joe Budden
And you just sitting there rapping good. Rapping good ain't gonna get 30 billion fans.
Mal
Yes. Stephen A. Is him in his world. LeBron James saying anything. Drake saying anything to anybody.
Joe Budden
Like it's media's media.
Parks
Yeah, but. All right, use your Drake example. I agree with. Use your Drake example.
Mal
Drake sitting down one time with Aiden Ross's media.
Joe Budden
Cool.
Parks
But Joe, stick to that example.
Mal
Go ahead, use you, for example.
Parks
No, I have to. You say it's up when you and Drake engage.
Joe Budden
Oh, yeah. No, it's up.
Parks
So that's what from the Stephen A side. I got LeBron to engage my nigga. It's up. I want that to be up.
Mal
Well, that's why I didn't want to.
Joe Budden
Use me and Drake, because him and.
Mal
LeBron, they're saying that we have haven't with each other for.
Joe Budden
Well, maybe that's true.
Parks
Me and Drake, you and Drake. I've been saying. I kept telling you, y'all don't with each other.
Jazzy
The way LeBron did the interview was Drake ish.
Mal
They just make it sound like it's been 15 years, bro.
Flip
I don't feel like that about Drake gets online tomorrow. It might not be the same if Drake gets online tomorrow and a huge part of his one hour interview is 25 minutes of it is directed at Joe Button. You welcome that. You definitely welcome that. That if 25 minutes of his one hour interview is basically headed.
Parks
No matter.
Ishmael
Good.
Parks
He's addressing you. You want that? It's up.
Flip
I know you gonna come in here like, hey, Paywall.
Parks
Next Episode, Pay per View Absolutely.
Flip
We make sense. My.
Joe Budden
Well, I'm not saying that I don't.
Mal
Have a horse in the race. No, no.
Joe Budden
I'm just saying.
Mal
And I'm not saying.
Ishmael
Are you standing on. Are you standing on the side that. That Stephen A. Should stop because he was the antagonizer in this situation.
Joe Budden
I think they both should stop.
Ishmael
You're speaking more from like, I understand where LeBron's coming from. That's his son. Stephen A been antagonizing the situation. So as you, I think for Stephen.
Mal
A to say, yo, I was never gonna talk about this, but then I heard the Richard Jefferson clip.
Joe Budden
I do agree that he's been on a run talking about it.
Mal
On the flip side, I understand going on a run, but not to talk about the biggest guy in the country.
Ishmael
Let's not do the flip side. Let's talk to you as a person, as a fan of these individuals, as a supporter.
Mal
I think this is an unnecessary crash.
Joe Budden
Out from Stephen A.
Mal
It's not. Even if. Even if LeBron is crashing out also, it's not gonna be looked at that way.
Parks
It will be by some people. Because now there's a lot of people that take LeBron out that conversation now because of this.
Flip
I think a lot of people look at it as an unnecessary.
Parks
Not on both sides.
Flip
Not me. I'm just talking about. From what I'm hearing, I hear a lot of people saying it's an unnecessary crash out from LeBron.
Parks
I say it's both.
Jazzy
I've seen that, too.
Flip
I've seen a lot of people saying, like, LeBron has crashed out unnecessarily because a man is doing his journalistic job.
Mal
But you can't tell people how to father.
Flip
I'm not disagreeing.
Ishmael
That's what Joe.
Flip
That's weird, Joe. We not talking about who's right or wrong between the people. We talking about the perception of the onlooker.
Mal
But perception goes out the window for me when somebody's far from not disagreeing. If I'm fathering, my concern is not how I'm being looked at.
Parks
That's true.
Mal
I don't think Steve and A's is as invested or should be as invested as LeBron is for how he felt about what was said.
Flip
I'm talking about the people saying LeBron is crashing out. A lot of people are saying, yo, he's crashing out. He never disrespected your son. He's saying, yo, he's crash. A lot of people. I'm not in that. I'm saying from outside. A lot of people are saying, yo, dawg, he's bugging the fuck out.
Parks
But then a lot of people also will hear the response to that is. And rightfully so.
Joe Budden
Yeah.
Mal
Cause I don't even need to get to a lot of things. Me as a dad listening. I understand what LeBron was trying to say more than whatever the fuck point.
Joe Budden
Stephen A was trying to get off.
Mal
Like, for Stephen A.
Joe Budden
A. Let's stay with the me and Drake example.
Mal
When I was talking about Drake, Drake responded and said, sounds personal. It sounds like it's more than the music. This shit that Stephen A is and has been saying. LeBron is saying, this is not just basketball. This is more than basketball. And that's where I have a problem.
Parks
And that's what the. Checking them. Hey, whatever it is, keep my son out of it, though. Yeah, whatever we got, it is more than basketball. Don't. You're not bringing my son into this. Whatever it is me and you dealing with. We'll deal with it.
Mal
I was saying what Stephen A. Is saying. Hey, I'm getting this from the lyrics. It's in the music. I'm unpacking the music. So that should mean I should be able to talk about it. The fans was like, nah, I don't know about that. Keeping music.
Joe Budden
Let me.
Mal
Let me not music. If you talk about the girls, I don't care about what he says the same shit.
Ishmael
Let me extend you grace because when it came to talking about Drake's son, you didn't want to touch it.
Joe Budden
The music.
Ishmael
Yeah. I'm not talking about nobody care. You know what I mean?
Joe Budden
So not my place. It's not my business. I would hope niggas would extend that same courtesy. Courtesy to me. And if you don't let me know how you want it. When it comes to people's kids, that don't mean I'm gonna go fucking spin the block and kill you. It just lets me know where you stand on kids.
Ishmael
So. No, I'm just saying I see how you're approaching the situation. So I see what you expect from a guy like Steven.
Mal
This is not for me. This is not Steven A's first time going through this with somebody's dad.
Joe Budden
It ain't.
Flip
But that don't necessarily.
Mal
He has a track record of going through this. Maybe not to this degree with somebody's dad. I was on Kyrie's dad's side last time they did this.
Flip
Me too.
Mal
When niggas had to step to him and say, hey, the people that raised you, raised him. And out of respect for us, when you talk about us, you're talking about.
Flip
Like, when you talk about him.
Mal
They've had to check Stephen A. A few times behind the scenes over how you are handling the. The children of dads that, you know, dads that you're seeing. It ain't just Kyrie. It ain't just. It's a reoccurring thing.
Ishmael
Are you saying that Stephen A. Is more professional or should be more professional than having to take the routes that he's taken when speaking or approaching the topic? Are you saying that you should be more. I think that you should be clever enough to approach a topic in a different way than taking these. Click baiting.
Mal
Yes and no. Stephen A. Is him in his field.
Joe Budden
Don't ever misconstrue what I'm saying.
Mal
He's him in his field.
Ishmael
Amazing.
Mal
He's also him at a company. And you have to know when your company is now Moving in a different direction. It's like when the NBA hired analytics people and they started listening to the analytics people a little more than the basketball people. The same thing. You could tell if you got eyes and a brain. That's happening at espn where they rather show you as a meme going around. Would they rather show you Stephen a speak to Kai Sinat about who's better, LeBron and Jordan. Everything is cowboy, cowboy, cowboy. Like there are no real conversations about Houston's 10 game winning streak. The turnaround that Detroit has had. Like there's so many dope stories to have. That's not what ESPN is doing.
Jazzy
Yeah, no, they're doing content.
Mal
ESPN is doing content. Headline, clickbaity, headline.
Flip
And when you do that, three teams, you're gonna.
Mal
You're gonna find your people to fucking harp on. I've done it before.
Flip
Stay here though. Look, stay there.
Mal
I've done it before.
Flip
Stay where you at.
Mal
So some of those people, Jayson Tatum, I don't think Jason Tatum deserved none of that shit that they did. But that was the hot story with Steve Kerr and the Dream Team. Bronny, I don't think he deserved any of that. But that's the hot story. There's a bunch of these stories I got.
Ishmael
I'm listening.
Mal
So yeah, when these go out, if we see each other and know each other, back to my jwon working here point.
Joe Budden
Right.
Mal
Like when I called you and said, hey, that conversation, yeah, it was cool on some pod shit. But when we know somebody's dad.
Joe Budden
You did. Yes.
Mal
Right. Like it's just like a respect thing when you know and see a dad.
Joe Budden
Yes.
Mal
That's my only point in this. And they just keep it going. I don't agree with how either of them are going about it. There are portions of that LeBron, Pat McAfee where I thought that he sounded nuts.
Flip
I think Joe agrees with my point.
Ishmael
No, but I'm surprised that you.
Flip
I think from an analytic standpoint, ESPN welcomes this dog. Espn, your great point that you made. Detroit is killing Houston is killing some of the under lower market teams. They killing. You know who ESPN push the Lakers, the Cowboys and the Yankees.
Jazzy
Yep.
Flip
Right. We not talking up here now at as sport journalists about the parody that's going on in the NBA. How any team in the west could beat any team in the West. We don't care about that. We care about the Lakers, the Yankees and the Cowboys. So I think that we are who ESPN. That's the company. So I think that this with LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith is a platinum mine, not gold. It's a platinum mine. I don't think that they looking at that with no level of. Of disgust.
Mal
I was never looking. I was never trying to say that.
Joe Budden
That'S how ESPN was looking.
Flip
Oh, you said ESPN is looking at it like they gonna move or.
Joe Budden
But you.
Ishmael
You usually on the opposite side of anything. They could, though. You usually on the opposite side of anything. Clickbaity, right? They just going down a clickbaity route. You're usually on the opposite side. Yes. So to hear that, you have to.
Flip
Understand, bro, this is not about me personally. I'm having an objective conversation. I'm saying that I see both sides of this particular equation. I don't think, me personally, that Stephen A. Smith was way, way out of line in what he said.
Ishmael
Okay.
Flip
Yo, I looked at that Kyrie shit way worse than I look at this. Y'all know how I felt about the Kyrie shit. I thought the Kyrie shit was disgusting. I looked at the Kyrie shit way, way worse than how I looked at what he said about bronze.
Ishmael
How do you approach. How do you approach a situation like that? If your son is in the NBA and he's there and he's doing whatever he's doing, and this is my job, to speak about the NBA and the.
Flip
Assessed talent and assess talent, how do.
Ishmael
You think Stephen A should approach that?
Parks
Not personally, I'll answer. I don't think.
Ishmael
How would he approach that?
Joe Budden
Getting this directly from Stephen A's mouth. Pause.
Mal
Any player that's in their first three.
Joe Budden
To four years, we shouldn't be talking about at all. Because there's an understanding from the people that cover the game that these people are developing. These people just got here. They're getting a feel for the game. They've never played it.
Mal
We shouldn't be covering any of them. To the extent that we cover anybody else in year, that's fine. Now in year three and four and five, we can look up and say, hey, this person was drafted here. This is the production we're getting in. Us have to talk.
Jazzy
They don't adhere to that at all.
Flip
Nobody does.
Mal
They do adhere to that, though.
Ishmael
No, they don't.
Flip
No, they don't.
Mal
Joe, what player from last year's draft.
Joe Budden
Is being critiqued in that manner?
Flip
You said three to four years from.
Mal
The year before that. Give me the players. Yes, I'm talking about.
Flip
I'm give you some people. John Morant, in his second year in the NBA was getting critiqued. Anthony Edwards, in his second year in The NBA was getting critiqued. All of the.
Joe Budden
I disagree.
Flip
All of the higher level kids are not kids because I don't want to call them kids. All of the higher level players that get drafted high, get critiqued with high.
Parks
Expectation on them, get critiqued.
Mal
Bro, I'm clear that me and you.
Joe Budden
Stand on different sides of this. Anthony Edwards was the number three pick in the draft.
Flip
He was number one pick in the draft, but keep going.
Joe Budden
I don't know if he was number.
Mal
One and I'm not fact checking right either way, one, three, same shit. And I still don't think niggas looked at him a certain way for a little while. Ja Morant was handed the keys to not only the franchise, but the whole fucking league in year two and three. So I just disagree with that. I don't see where players, if you say see you special, they treat you special. But the other players, they're allowed time to fight, develop. They even made up a whole league for these players to develop.
Parks
Dog, some players come into the league with a lot of.
Mal
There is no 55th pick that that's ever happened to.
Flip
Bro, you moving the goal post now.
Joe Budden
I'm not trying to.
Flip
I can address it.
Mal
I'm not trying to listen to this.
Flip
Nobody at the 55th pick has had the scrutiny. That's cool.
Parks
Correct.
Flip
Let's stay here and we're gonna make everything relative. 1 no 55th pick can tell you, yo, I'm not working out for you. No 55th pick is gonna come into the league and get a guaranteed four year, $8 million deal. And they go into the G. That's cap.
Joe Budden
There are other players picked in the 50s that have a four year deal.
Flip
Coming out the gate.
Mal
Yeah, who?
Parks
We can look them up.
Flip
Okay, cool. Let me keep moving forward.
Joe Budden
Look em up. They exist.
Flip
I don't know of them. But number three, what happened with Bronny again, it's a gift and a curse. And you gotta live with the gift and the curse. My father has lived, laid his blood, sweat and tears down in this league. I don't give a fuck if I don't belong here or not. Lebroni averaged four points a game in college. So people are looking at that like, yo, he's not deserving. It's not Antwan's assessment. I'm talking about an overall assessment. They're looking at it like, yo, dawg, if you were not LeBron James, son, you wouldn't be here. So that's gonna have a certain level of scrutiny. If he averaged 17 or 20 points, in college. Nobody would have said a fucking thing. He averaged four points a game in college. He had a heart issue.
Joe Budden
A heart attack in college.
Flip
Listen, Michael, let me finish to answer your point. He had a heart issue in college.
Joe Budden
Don't tell me.
Parks
There are a couple players. It says Tyler Kolek, the Knicks signed to a record breaking contract for a second round pick.
Joe Budden
66.
Parks
6.6 million in guaranteed money. Other examples are of second round picks who got guaranteed contracts. Maxwell Lewis and Denver last name Pickett. It don't have his first name. But there are players that have in the late second round gotten guaranteed contracts.
Flip
Guaranteed they first year. Gotcha. I'm staying correct.
Parks
50Th pick in BR.
Flip
But what I'm saying is all of those things from somebody that averaged four points a game in college, that didn't work out for no pro teams and all of that shit, now you looking at it from a favoritism standpoint. You're gonna get scrutinized is all I'm saying.
Mal
And when you say that I. For me, I think.
Flip
And the heart attack thing lends to the other.
Ishmael
Scrutinize.
Flip
It's not me. It lends to that. Like, yo, fam, you shouldn't be here. If those things stay in college another year and get your game up.
Joe Budden
I think there are a lot of components to this conversation and it is very nuanced. But for me, all of that is word soup when it gets to how a father decides to father.
Ishmael
Got it.
Mal
Like there's valid points made on both sides of the brownie argument. So I don't want to continue to rehash them all. But if you come in here with some shit that you laid down on earth on some father shit I'm rolling.
Parks
With, whatever the fuck that is cool.
Mal
I would not want my son to be treated a different way by the earth because of things that his dad did in his career. Now maybe it's nothing you.
Parks
That's not life.
Flip
That's not real.
Parks
It goes the other way a lot.
Mal
Okay? But in the event that you see that happening, as a dad, you're jumping in that.
Flip
You're jumping in that.
Parks
But the other side.
Flip
We going to circle.
Parks
Because niggas get favoritism based off of who they pops is all the time. And that's okay day. Like you got to take both sides of that coin.
Ishmael
Yeah.
Joe Budden
Not if you the dad.
Parks
No. No.
Mal
Not if you're watching somebody that you love.
Joe Budden
You don't look at somebody that you love and say, oh, take both sides.
Parks
Get out no, no, no. I'm not saying if you're the dad. I'm just saying this is real life. We talking about.
Mal
Listen and listen. We, we. We. We kicking past the coverage. One of the best basketball players in.
Joe Budden
The world went to one of the.
Mal
Biggest media spots in Indiana.
Joe Budden
Yeah. And kicked it.
Mal
And kicked the back end of one of the biggest media people in the world.
Jazzy
Yeah. And threw a couple other shots in the meantime.
Ishmael
Yeah.
Mal
Yo, he fired at Brian Winhurst. He said, yo, Brian Wenthurst is running around acting like my best friend. Nigga's a weirdo. Excuse me?
Joe Budden
Is a weird. My gird.
Mal
And that nigga's a weirdo. Been a weirdo. That shit's weird. All these sports is weirdos this big. There's a big divide going on between the athletes and the commentators that they're taking the jobs from.
Flip
The athletes are starting to get a.
Mal
Voice, and they're starting to get. The athletes are starting to get eyes and look at what the fuck. Tom Brady is being paid by cbs. And what the fuck, the Kelce Brothers is being paid by Amazon. Hey, they're getting the voice. The athletes got brains and eyes, and we might have got robbed in our career, but now we see this second window, and we gonna get to it. So you know what that means. Hey, fuck the Elliot Wilsons of the basketball world. That's what's happening.
Flip
I think that's something.
Mal
Shout out to Elliot Wilson. Just use that as an example.
Flip
I think that's true for some. I think some of the other ones is this shit has been going on forever. We never was able to respond when such and such would write a shitty article about us back in the day. Now we have a voice, and our voice is being heard. So now we could contest some of that shit. That's what I look at it as like, yo, dawg, I remember that art. Them niggas take that shit personally. I remember you wrote an article about me two years ago, and you said all of this shit, and I remember it. So now it's up for you.
Joe Budden
That's the other part of the LeBron shit that he addressed on Pat McAfee. He said, yeah, the conversation is about him and Bronny. I mean, about Bronny.
Mal
But this is about how you can and can't speak about players and the game that we love.
Joe Budden
Y'all have killed this shit.
Mal
So, yeah, we can talk about Bronny, but is that the best and most effective way to talk about the game that each one of us love? The way y'all have handled it in recent years, have us in this spot, and it's shitty. And as the leader of player voices and the league, and I'm about to get my own team. There's nobody else equipped to say this but me.
Joe Budden
I agree.
Mal
But we're not gonna have the conversation because we talking about my son. But we have a problem with how y'all speak to all players. He referenced the Philadelphia beat writer that came in the locker room and said that shit about Joel Embiid's brother that lost his life. Like he's having deep conversations.
Flip
And I agree with all of that.
Mal
Some of that is really, really, really important. Some of it is petty bullshit.
Flip
Nah.
Mal
But some of it is really important.
Flip
Yeah, he's right.
Parks
He's getting this shit off. And that's what I said, y'all.
Flip
He's a thousand percent right now. And I think now that these niggas got their own voice. I make mad money. I don't give a no more. I make $400 million. I could say what I want. Whereas the nigga that was making 1.5, they had to eat that, right? It came along with the game. You know what I'm saying? Now, I can address some of you motherfuckers because I'm seeing y'all personally. You know what I mean? It's the same writer, right? It's the same writers all the time.
Mal
And now some of you. Sport reporter is the ops. If I'm clutch and I represent the athlete podcasters that are gonna go try to get the big bag from all the companies that y'all are getting it for, they. They fighting over different than they saying, yeah, true.
Flip
I agree with you.
Jazzy
I agree with you.
Flip
Because if you clutch and you getting ad money, you can really. It's Drake.
Mal
Yeah. I'm going up for everything. Y'all pitching Stephen A for.
Joe Budden
I'm going to pitch Draymond.
Flip
True, true, true. It's a different conversation now. They taking. They taking a.
Mal
It's deep and it's fun.
Flip
They taking the power.
Parks
They're taking the power.
Mal
It is deep, and it's fun to watch.
Joe Budden
It is.
Flip
They take the power.
Mal
There's a real. There's a real intricate chess game being played behind the scenes in front of us, for sure.
Joe Budden
True.
Mal
That's what I got. Shout out to all parties.
Flip
I agree with you.
Joe Budden
Shout out to all parties.
Flip
I agree.
Mal
What else do we need to give our opinion on? What else do we need to the YG record? Unless y'all want to go somewhere else. I'm Totally fine with that.
Joe Budden
You can play.
Parks
Yeah, yeah, we can go there.
Ishmael
Hey, hey.
Mal
Brand new YG up in my phone it's called 2004.
Parks
That's the name of the song.
Joe Budden
Let's see.
Mal
Let me get right to it.
Joe Budden
Bong. Because this song was.
Flip
You said it has a really peculiar opening line.
Mal
Little Dre bop brand new yg2004.
Jazzy
Very dre.
Flip
Nate Dog will be right there. Nate Dogg would have been right there.
Jesse Reyes
When I was young I got Ray twice my age Picked me up from school to meet a hers and got laid Ever since that day I never looked that shit the same up in the brain pussy what I blame fries so you know why I like chicken wings? My life is insane like I'm from baby gang I'm supposed to change with all this up I sang up yeah, I know up and some old I'm so used to up I get up at the show up yeah, I know how up could it go Nipsey left me like how big he left whole whoa and Slim got his lifestyle Telling myself I be a I told really with my psycho my little lost the.
Joe Budden
Life.
Ishmael
Don'T deserve me not even on.
Mal
My words I'm letting this play cause is super hard no, it is.
Joe Budden
It is. It is hard. Pause if appropriate.
Flip
Okay.
Jesse Reyes
Now back when I was a juvenile got used for the dick I ain't.
Parks
Even know what to do with the.
Flip
Confused a bit Hermes I went to.
Jesse Reyes
School with the my screws loose who got the tools to fix so I went to the homies and we talked about it they thought exactly that was the only thoughts about it did call Cause of course she stripped all about it Hypnotized from them hip and thighs.
Joe Budden
All hypnotic let's pause it at least have some conversation. Okay.
Jazzy
That's just tough.
Joe Budden
I wanted to fast forward to the last verse where he gets into. I was 14 years old when I got my dick sucked 14 years old when I first used my dick when she did this and yada yada, yada we'll get to it. First thoughts, first thoughts first thoughts on.
Jazzy
This Super Fire Best YG record I've heard in a really long time. And I like yg.
Parks
Same huge YG fan. I'm not mad at. I'm not mad at is. It's a different. He's getting into like a trauma bag.
Jazzy
I've never heard Interesting.
Parks
Yeah.
Jazzy
Not this level of introspective.
Parks
Yeah, he's.
Joe Budden
He's.
Parks
You know I lost my homies.
Jazzy
Yeah.
Parks
You know I'm dealing with losses but this Is a, this is different.
Jazzy
Yeah.
Parks
Maturity.
Jazzy
Yeah.
Parks
You know, that sounds like therapy because a lot of times the real issue is dudes don't even realize that they were assaulted.
Flip
Assaulted.
Parks
Right, that's, that's the, that's the underlying issue right there. So.
Mal
Well, that's what he got into. He started talking about how, hey, I didn't realize that because I liked it. Like I had a blast.
Joe Budden
We kept doing it. I knew her niece. But as I got older I realized, yada yada, yada, yada yada. So listen, that's deep.
Mal
Not only is this song super, super, super hard, once you get past the abrasiveness of the first line and start listening to it. What a deep concept record. This is a fly away, I think, to have that conversation because, you know, I joke all the time with.
Joe Budden
And maybe we shouldn't, but with the guys that have lost their virginity that.
Mal
Way, like, yo dawg, you was sa.
Ishmael
And they be like, nah, nah.
Flip
He talks about how, he talked about it with the home and the homies is like, nigga, that's some fly shit. That's how we really look at it.
Parks
That's how we looked at it.
Flip
Yo, you fucking miss Brenda.
Ishmael
Yeah, we only look at that.
Flip
Oh shit. Like, yo, that's how we look at it. As young guys, we always had a fantasy to fuck with the older women anyway. When we was in our teenage years, you fantasizing the guidance counselor or the teacher or whomever the case may be. We look at it like it's some fly shit. You not looking at it like this older woman mentally manipulated you. You, you know what I'm saying? We not looking at it like that. Or she could have potentially took your innocence. We not looking at it like that.
Parks
And something else we never really talk about is a lot of times I, I, I know it happened to me, I know it happened to my brother and a bunch of other younger ones. Your mom's friends be saying things.
Flip
That's not, oh yeah, you could get it off with the boys, you know what I'm saying?
Parks
Oh, he so you going to be my boyfriend and this and it, it, it sounds kiki. Hahaha. But that's the, that's some fucking, it's some inappropriate shit. And it sets it in your mind that, oh, I should like the older chick because she liked me. There's nothing wrong with.
Ishmael
You gotta change our way of thinking.
Flip
No, I just think like completely the.
Ishmael
Way that we think is we gotta change it completely.
Flip
But that goes into the double standard shit like yo, yo, my girl, I could talk. My girl's son, he 24, 25, but he's mad like, women be like, yo, he's so attractive. Like he need to be in movies and magazines and all that shit, right?
Joe Budden
Right.
Flip
Yo, your friends be like, girl, if that wasn't your son, girl, like they say all of that shit, you can't say that to a girl, right? You know what I mean? Like, yo dawg, if that wasn't your daughter, bop, you know what I'm saying? You get stolen. So I just think how the world views the shit is differently, you know what I mean? Like yo, a 19 year old dude, cut up abs and all that shit the older women could fantasize about, huh? Like what a nice body you say, like what's my.
Ishmael
You know what I'm saying?
Flip
Like, yo, the women always say it and it, they don't look at it like nothing at all, you know what I'm saying? But whereas if it's a 19 year old girl and these 40 year old niggas is like, man, we get looked at like creep. You know what I'm saying? It's just, it's just how we view the in. In society.
Joe Budden
I just think this is a super hard way to have the male conversation. People very fire from men that have a shared experience.
Flip
I agree thousand percent.
Joe Budden
And again, the song is hard. Let it play.
Jazzy
Yeah, it's just fire.
Joe Budden
Fire. Okay. Why is my not playing no more?
Flip
Yeah, it's me, bum ass waffle.
Parks
All right now.
Joe Budden
Careful.
Parks
This an iPhone, Got it?
Jesse Reyes
Yeah, that's when I bust my first nut. Young with his dick all in a grown up with the shits. And real quick how I growed up got took advantage of and I liked it. So what y'all call that?
Flip
Sex abuse.
Jesse Reyes
I just thought she was doing some cool shit. If I would have told mama about the new, the probably would have been up on the news Clear.
Mal
They tell me, don't worry.
Joe Budden
Hey, wait a minute.
Parks
Hey, this hard shout out to buddy.
Joe Budden
It is hard. I just don't know. I'm a ride to it with the windows down. I just gotta figure that part out. I like this the guys got raped anthem.
Jazzy
Hey.
Jesse Reyes
So just thank me for the next time you start asking why is you like that? Why is you sad bitch?
Flip
Why be ho you fuck with?
Jesse Reyes
It's never long lasting no access to my heart I get no passage A bitch took advantage of me I ain't got no trust the bitch took advantage of me I ain't getting no fucks at 14 years old, I got my dick sucked. At 14 years old, I got my dick fucked. The hoe was 30 years old. And I never told was that.
Joe Budden
This is a real serious subject, so you got to be serious about it.
Ishmael
We got to change our way, I.
Joe Budden
Think, but we got to make dude rape sound more undesirable like that. That's a You.
Jazzy
That's a big part.
Ishmael
14 years old.
Flip
Got my dicks up.
Mal
Yo, this Last verse sound 14 years old. Yeah, the last verse sound like a. That's porn time.
Flip
That's a. It's porn.
Mal
We got to talk about the downside.
Ishmael
Way of thinking, yo.
Jazzy
Like, I'm hoping that he got to that later in the verse.
Ishmael
Even the guys.
Joe Budden
We need Kendrick to do it.
Ishmael
Even the older guys in the neighborhood, they'll big you up if you some older. You know what I'm saying, Yo.
Mal
Yeah, word.
Ishmael
Like, that was a thing. That was an accolade. You know what I mean? Now, as you get older, that is a stack, you know, you just got to change this warp way of thinking.
Joe Budden
And how tall was you he at 14?
Ishmael
I don't know.
Joe Budden
It's irrelevant. I don't. Yo, bad time for joke. Sorry. Trying to like the movie.
Flip
That's a whole genre of porn I got to see.
Ishmael
Oh, is it?
Joe Budden
Yo, dogs.
Flip
An older lady is a genre of porn.
Jazzy
Mil.
Mal
Yeah.
Flip
Where you think that came from, Mom?
Ishmael
I like to.
Flip
You know what I'm saying?
Joe Budden
Like, yo, yo, shout out to all victims out there. Again, shout out to YG for being this bold. This is a really bold.
Mal
It is.
Parks
I agree.
Joe Budden
Song. A bold opening line. Shout out to the team in the studio.
Jazzy
Oh, man, I know that came through in the big.
Joe Budden
Oh, my Lord, I loved it.
Parks
Paused after the first line to it sitting there rolling up.
Ishmael
Are you sure you won't say this?
Mal
I'd have been like, yo, we recording.
Parks
Yo, it'll be, dog.
Joe Budden
Yo, we.
Mal
The verse supposed to start right there. He like, nah, that's the first. Like, oh, when I was young, I got hard.
Joe Budden
I want to hear what the other versions are. Somebody had to talk him into just being this strong. The other version, he tried to do it on the low.
Mal
Try to do a little I got R word.
Joe Budden
They was like, no, you really got to tap into that. Come on, yg. Tap into that dark, deep. That pain.
Jazzy
She took it.
Joe Budden
What pain you got from the dirty. All right. Come on, Him. Forget it. Yeah, see? See, I'm part of the problem.
Parks
And he. He said what pain he got.
Ishmael
And when you was younger, You. You shot for the older. Older women, too.
Flip
Look at un empathetic Andy over here.
Joe Budden
We're not looking at Cory. We're not looking at Cory. And our heart goes out to yg. Again, this is strong. Our heart goes out to victims and guys that have got raped. I try to tell my girl this girl. Girl raped me. She wasn't buying that. I wasn't 14, but all right. She didn't buy it at all. She ain't gonna.
Flip
I wouldn't have bought it neither, if I was her.
Joe Budden
That's. That's part of the problem. Yeah.
Mal
Yeah.
Parks
That's kind of up right back to.
Joe Budden
The record right there.
Flip
It's not, though, but it's cool.
Joe Budden
Yeah.
Flip
It's a conversation we have.
Joe Budden
Come on now. You invited that girl in the was the Eagle. She started hitting that Tinder spot on your Tinder. Love Tenderlove. Start making your body react a certain way when you knew better in your mind, body, spirit, and soul.
Flip
And you gave her the four SIMD's.
Joe Budden
And she put her mouth down there.
Mal
You pulled her head.
Parks
Right, right, right there. Right there, though.
Mal
Stop doing this. I said no.
Flip
Oh, yeah.
Parks
Don't put that right now. Take that red light off me.
Flip
So I don't want yellow. That's your bad.
Parks
That's your bad.
Ishmael
Look.
Mal
Then it turns. Why are you doing that? God.
Joe Budden
No.
Ishmael
Yes.
Mal
That'S your.
Flip
That's your man.
Joe Budden
Yo.
Flip
That's your man.
Mal
No.
Flip
Yes, that's your boy right there. Yo.
Joe Budden
Yeah, tell you be men.
Mal
Why you.
Flip
How you do that?
Mal
What's your jaw skin made out of?
Ishmael
Get off of me, please.
Mal
Oh, man.
Parks
Please stop.
Mal
Yo, please stop doing. Oh, yo, bro, relax.
Ishmael
Is you doing.
Mal
That's wrong. That is no.
Flip
That is.
Mal
That is a man means no. No. They don't say how you. How you got to say the no.
Joe Budden
If you're a man?
Parks
What you no, stop.
Flip
Your honor, I was trying to grab her hair.
Parks
Stop. Don't offer me. I grabbed her hair. Stop.
Mal
I grabbed her. Why you doing this?
Jazzy
It. That's the eventual.
Parks
Your no, don't stop. Go to. I mean, your no stop. Don't go to. No, don't stop.
Mal
I have to let you do this to get you off of me.
Flip
That's the only way I could.
Mal
There, you happy?
Flip
Yeah. You got what you came for.
Joe Budden
Shout out to yg, man.
Parks
Terrible, man. I apologize, man.
Joe Budden
Oh, my Lord. All right. Is there anything else we got to get to?
Mal
We just go. Just go from this on the couch.
Flip
Doing all type of motions. Yo, yo, yo, yo.
Jesse Reyes
All Good.
Mal
Yo, this is crazy.
Flip
Yo, you a sicko.
Joe Budden
You're a real sicko.
Parks
So I'm off.
Joe Budden
Yeah, you so off. I tried to answer the subject. Seriously, you tried?
Flip
Is that what you did it for?
Parks
No, he did. He did it for a good portion in 30 seconds.
Flip
I'm proud of you.
Mal
When you get off the subject.
Flip
Yeah, I'm proud of you.
Joe Budden
Proud of you, dog.
Flip
Anyways, yo, what was your biggest age differential? I think I said he was 14. She was 30.
Jazzy
That's crazy.
Joe Budden
Well, I wasn't at 14.
Flip
No, I'm just saying that's a 16 year gap. Yeah.
Parks
22 years.
Jazzy
God damn.
Joe Budden
Oh, you was raping.
Parks
No, I was. I was an adult, though still.
Flip
She's still.
Mal
Mentally still.
Joe Budden
She got you, boy.
Mal
She got you gay.
Parks
Yeah, I was 22. She was 44.
Joe Budden
My biggest age gap now, when I was in high school and the older joints was coming to bring me food and shit, I was just dangling dick. I wasn't them. So my biggest. It wasn't that much. Eight years, nine years.
Jazzy
Yeah, it was probably 12.
Flip
Yeah, I think I'm probably at like 15.
Joe Budden
It wasn't nothing too crazy.
Flip
I think I'm like 15.
Parks
That was an old joint.
Flip
Yeah, she was old.
Joe Budden
She had that spanky, too. It's tough being our age now where you can knock down the mom and.
Parks
Dad and the daughter.
Flip
Yeah, see, even that. You can't say that. The women be on. The women be on Instagram. You better stop playing me, cuz I could you or your father or I could. You or your son. The women will say that on ig.
Parks
I say it too. We can't say that.
Mal
You see some of these moms.
Flip
I seen them.
Mal
Now you. Now you can't say about the daughter.
Joe Budden
I understand what you. Oh, I'm thinking about the mom.
Parks
No, no, no.
Mal
Mom.
Parks
Got it.
Flip
Mom saying, you old enough. Two. I get it.
Mal
For this to apply, not to say you would.
Flip
We can't.
Parks
We just sat here. Respectfully. We just sat here and was talking about the young lady.
Joe Budden
Was it?
Parks
Was it Ari? Moms.
Joe Budden
It's Karisha. Mom.
Parks
Kisha. Mom. Excuse me. I was confused. Him too.
Joe Budden
Mom was great.
Parks
We just said. We just sat there and talked about.
Joe Budden
Look great. Shout out to Karisha. Mom.
Mal
And respectfully.
Parks
I'm not. Respectfully, of course.
Flip
Yeah, like, yo, dog, the lady could be 50.
Joe Budden
You're saying somebody looks great is respectful. By the way.
Flip
It is.
Joe Budden
No thumbs mean the respectfully part makes it. Gives it like a hint of disrespect. If.
Jazzy
Well, no, it could easily go to tear that.
Parks
You know, she looks great.
Joe Budden
If all you're saying is she looks.
Flip
Great, then that's respectful.
Joe Budden
That's respectful.
Parks
It don't.
Flip
It go take that.
Joe Budden
You can't dictate she look good, though. They.
Parks
They could take it in disrespect.
Joe Budden
Look good. Oh, please. Do you see what the girl said when Sweetie's dad got leaked?
Parks
I did.
Joe Budden
Please.
Parks
The girls can say things.
Joe Budden
Field day with Sweetie's dad.
Flip
That's her mother.
Parks
Yes.
Mal
Moving on, moving on.
Joe Budden
Moving on, moving. Oh.
Mal
Anything else that we need to get to? Will Smith dropped his album. Will Smith dropped his album. He did not cover it.
Jazzy
I listened to a little bit of it, and then it got really, really like gospel rapping and gospel rap. My problem with gospel rap, rap, it's funny because I listen to, like, 5% of rap. It's like, what would be my favorite genre? But gospel rap be like, yo, we about to turn up. It's a Friday at the church. I was almost there, but then he lost me.
Parks
Like, unrealistic. Exact same take, bro. I listened to the Will album. I got. I think it's about track seven or eight, where it just went too far. And I was like, all right, I had to come.
Jazzy
Just be cool with the gospel. Like, slip it in.
Parks
Cool, cool.
Jazzy
Pause.
Parks
Nah, he had a couple records was up there. That was all right. Production was fine.
Jazzy
There is a couple good records up there.
Parks
I. From my ear, it sound like Big Sean wrote a lot of this.
Jazzy
Oh, yeah, I didn't.
Parks
I actually analyze it, like, from track, I think two. Well, two is a skit. No, two is a track. Three is a skit. But, like, two, four, and five. I. I just listened to him and I could hear Big Sean's voice actually spitting these lines. But, I mean, again, good music is good music. But then it just got a little too gospel. I don't even know how the album ends because it's just too much positivity and gospel. I had to.
Flip
Too much positivity.
Parks
Y'all wanna hear all that positivity in my rap?
Mal
I have not heard the project, but salute the Will.
Joe Budden
Yeah, for sure.
Flip
I heard it's dope.
Joe Budden
I'm going to listen to it.
Parks
And another thing that stood out to me is Will's cursing on his rap.
Jazzy
Oh, was he? Yeah, I didn't hear no curses.
Parks
He's cursing his rap. Cursing in the intro.
Joe Budden
The skit gets cursed at the Oscar, man. He did.
Flip
He talked, but, you know, Will Smith was cursing.
Parks
Yeah, that was his Whole thing, it was not cursing in his music.
Flip
You can't think of no Will Smith raps back in the day that he was cursing him.
Joe Budden
Yeah, but that's when we ain't really know Will Smith, and that was before.
Parks
Will Smith was walking.
Joe Budden
Will Smith wasn't cursing in the house.
Flip
I know that. I don't know. I don't know what brand of white shirt he had on in that Gilly and Wallow interview, but that just looked rich. That's what I'm saying.
Parks
Like, now I'm a curse rich. If I'm rich. Rich like this, I'm gonna curse hearse.
Flip
Need my collar to sit up like that. That just look wealthy, yo. Skin glowing. But no, this project is hot. I ain't listened to it yet, though, but I heard it's all right.
Joe Budden
I'm gonna check it out. I support the older rappers dropping albums now.
Parks
I do. I love it even more, like, because it seemed like they doing it with more freedom.
Flip
You don't need the money.
Joe Budden
I love seeing him and Killy do that verse.
Flip
Yes.
Jazzy
The MC Light album last year was not bad.
Flip
Yo, him and Gilly doing that, that was dope. You know, I remember them dumbass lyrics, too. Ain't no pressure, yo. Yeah, you're doing it as a.
Parks
Like a. I'm not trying to make money.
Flip
A hobby project, a love project. I don't need the money. Ll didn't need the money.
Joe Budden
Right.
Parks
You know, I don't need the money. Like, it's. It's who.
Flip
Doing it for the love.
Parks
I can really rap for the love. I'm not chasing no trend. I get to be me comfortable. And this is what I want to say. None of y'all can steer me and make me. Make me be something out there to sell a record.
Joe Budden
Did anything. Did anything else happen in music that we need to get to?
Jazzy
Jesse Reyes dropped. I'm a huge fan.
Joe Budden
I love Jesse Reyes.
Jazzy
It's fire. It's fire. I have no deep dive yet because I listen to it one time on the phone first thing in the morning.
Joe Budden
Jesse Reyes albums normally be fire.
Jazzy
They do. Her last album is Super Duper Fired. This one, it's early. It's too early. I don't want to say.
Joe Budden
I'm gonna go check it.
Jazzy
It sounded good.
Joe Budden
I didn't even know she dropped. I'm gonna check it out.
Jazzy
It didn't sound as good as the last one, but it was one listen.
Joe Budden
So got it, got it, got it.
Mal
All right. So that is it in music. What else is there? What Else is there. What does that say about Sexy Red right there?
Parks
Sexy Red's kids grandmother is suing her because she said Sexy Red said sent fans to her house to attack her. So it's the child's father, father's mother and she's like, yo, I know you in beef with my son. I've tried to get in and help squash that. But she allegedly posted a picture of the mom's house on Facebook and told the fans they should kick her door in. All alleged, but she's suing. She said she's trying to move. She can't find someplace that's suitable housing.
Flip
In her her financial range.

Parks
Really?
Joe Budden
Yeah. Which sounds really, really, really, really intriguing. Took all of them. Until you go see it. See, that's all I said.

De Niro's just taking all the money from the flick.
Parks
That's all I heard when you said that.

Mal
What the fuck is the point of.
Joe Budden
A one hour meter at the movie theater?
Flip
We want you not to park on the street. We want you to spend the money to park in the thing across the street.

Parks
They sit right there in the cut waiting.
Joe Budden
I was afraid we going to see.
Parks
Who come out and get in here.
Joe Budden
Yeah, I thought that if I parked over there and had to take the walk, then yeah, I would have made it safely to. They might have taken all my belongings, my watch, anything I had. On three, I was in front of my girl. Wouldn't want to put her in a harmful situation.
Jazzy
Never.
Joe Budden
But she would have to look at me differently. Differently after I gave up all my stuff.
Flip
Then she really wouldn't go home because she was standing here to protect you.
Joe Budden
Yeah, because I wouldn't have gone home because I wouldn't have just gave it up. Smooth.
