Speaker 2:

All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are live. It goes down in Tanaka town. Tnt podcast DJ Turn Up, dj Tanaka. We got a few hours before bailout Monday, so you know, if you're not doing nothing from 7 to 11, come pull up. I don't know if I was bailout Monday at this point to 11, come pull up. Y'all know the vibes of Bella on Monday at this point, tanaka, if you're under this fire, taxes. Ladies and gentlemen, for the people that aren't old enough to do taxes or still dependent on their parents, be responsible and don't yes as soon as it's tax time. Just do your taxes. Don't wait until the last minute.

Speaker 3:

Because Tanaka's under fire right now and he's like stressing out. It never gets easier, bro. No taxes is one of those things. That's just like.

Speaker 2:

It's just good, bro, it gets easier, bro, like I said, well, and they're not like uh, they're not like sponsoring the show or anything, but I want to give a major shout out to the keepers at um. I was able to do my taxes through them and I was able to save a lot of money because I didn't know about write-offs. Um, last year I did my well. Two, two years, uh, 2020 or 2019 and 2022, I did my taxes through um somebody named Randy. He used to work at All American, he used to be the general manager and he? Um the last year I did it um with him. I owed a lot of money, like probably close to like six, seven K oh, because I wasn't paying taxes.

Speaker 2:

I was an independent contractor and he was telling me about write offs and. I was like I don't know about taxes or write offs or whatever, and so you know, as these ads work on social media, know what you'll be looking for.

Speaker 3:

so I guess they seen that tax time was coming up and they're like it's from you need help with your taxes. Yeah, take out this new app here.

Speaker 2:

Use the keepers app only seven dollars a month, they'll take all your, they'll take all your accounts and yeah. So I was like you know what, at this point, I ain't got nothing to lose. So I was like I tried it and, yeah, it took all my stuff down and by the end of it I still thought that I was going to have to owe something. But I didn't. It was actually. Yeah, I think I ended up getting like 400 or something like 400, 500, and I was like cool, as long as I got. Oh shit, and honestly, I don't even think I got that money. I think the money's still going towards the federal bill and I'm fine with that. If they want to charge to the game, charge to the game. I am not mad at it. I am not mad at it. I am not mad at it at all, but yeah. So so, other than you being under this fire, sir, how are you feeling?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I think I'm still old for all nighters. Definitely are you, definitely are. I don't think people are. Are you just supposed to be at?

Speaker 2:

all nighters, bro, there are people older than us doing all nighters. I don't think that has anything to do with age, remember? Uh, rick? Well, yeah, rick Ross is doing it and he ended up having a stroke. So, yeah, yeah, I guess. So we don't need you having strokes.

Speaker 3:

But, um, it's been all right. Tony, you know I'm finally, uh, finally, healthy again. You know what I'm saying. See how long this lasts. Yeah, the ongoing battle, it's always.

Speaker 2:

Tanaka versus Springtime. Um, yeah, springtime is always just quite the battle night. Haven't quite cracked the code, the secret formula, but no, it's good to be back though, because obviously nobody enjoys being sick, Not making money. You know, I feel like one of them sports players that always get injured, you know, not able to play in the game. So it was good to, you know, see the good folks at Cascade from our meeting yesterday. It's always fun Shout out to the Cascade DJ team. It feels good to be like embraced. Yeah, it's something like that, because they're, for the most part, everybody seems like pretty cool people. Yeah, I haven't really talked or socialized with everybody, but for the most part everybody seems like pretty cool people. Yeah, um, I haven't really talked or socialized with everybody, but for the most part everybody seems like.

Speaker 3:

Everybody seems like they're okay yeah, um, I'm not gonna lie, but then I mean this by like no disrespect even. But when I saw craig, I literally like did not recognize him. I thought he was like a new cameraman or something, cause you know he had the camera.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the camera, yeah.

Speaker 3:

So I was like oh cause. I was thinking of uh, what's that other dude, the uh?

Speaker 2:

Oh, his assistant manager, or something.

Speaker 3:

Was that BJ, something like that? Yeah, I think so. I was expecting him, right. I was like, oh, do we have a new photographer now? Right. And then I'm like, oh, I saw him put the shades, the classic Craig shades on yeah, classic Craig shades and I was like man, that's crazy. I think it was because of how he was sitting.

Speaker 2:

He was kind of laid back, laid back, you know what? I'm saying Right, but yeah, he's sitting on, he's kind of like laid, laid back, right, but yes, I was the only cascade DJ yeah, it is cool to see a group of people that, like it doesn't seem like anybody's like, has any animosity or beefing with anybody or anything.

Speaker 2:

That's always a good thing. Yeah, that's definitely always a good thing. I don't know. Be on the lookout for Cascade. They got some big things coming up, some big things coming up. Speaking of big things coming up, as you see, ladies and gentlemen, we got a lot of different um paraphernalia that you see, um like tanaka said on the last episode.

Speaker 2:

we apologize, we know we've been kind of quiet, but we have finally got the ball rolling. The ball is now rolling and we are rolling straight to may 18th. Nice and Slow 3 is in full effect. This is officially the road to Nice and Slow 3 at this point. So, like I said, get your tickets. We got a limited supply and, yeah, anything else you want to say to the folks about Nice and Slow, anything you think they should be on the lookout for.

Speaker 3:

Just hope y'all ready, man, you know what I'm saying. It's going to be a good time and I'm looking forward to seeing people, but yeah, make sure you cop pre-sale tickets. Lovely design by Mr Turnip over here. You know what I'm saying. So we only got $250. They go on for $15. $15 a pop. Miss out on pre-sales.

Speaker 2:

Then you gotta go to the door and there's $20 at the door and if you don't want to sit in that crazy ass line.

Speaker 2:

Then you can do the skip line, which is five extra dollars, which is like $25. And, like I told y'all, I am still in the works on getting a ticket line and I will say this it's looking good. It's looking good for the ticket line, so you might want to get a ticket because you, you, you, you might rather want to be in a line with less than 250 people than a mosh pit of like 300., because that regular line is going to be nuts.

Speaker 3:

Plus, don't you want to get the cool design man?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, don't you just want to remember nice and slow, for how great it was? Buy a ticket, of course, bro.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you know what I'm saying, unless you want to buy the merch that's cool too, or you can buy all of it. Yeah, you wanna buy the merch that's cool too, or you can buy all of it yeah, yeah we just have a package to do, we have all of it.

Speaker 2:

Um, are we announcing? Are we announcing what we have, what we're doing for the merch, or are we? We still, we still, they waiting on that too. Um, we can say yeah, so, okay. Well, so for this, for this Nice and Slow, we are having shirts, of course, and then we're going to have some shorts for the ladies, so that should be cool. Red and black is the. I mean, red and black is basically the colors we're going for this time for the merch. Is the? Um, basically the codes we going for this time for the merch, because, as you remember, if you remember, the theme for may is red and theme for december is blue. So, amongst other surprises that we have, we will have merch for sale and yeah, so y'all be in tune for that.

Speaker 3:

Tune in for that, yeah they're excited for black, of course.

Speaker 2:

I told you Skaters, they always love black because it doesn't show their sweat, which, honestly and truthfully, they feel the same way about white. Any color, apparently. Any color shows up, the sweat shows up. That's why they all look black, is what I was told. But, um, I don't know, I'm not a skater so I can't really. I feel like it does because I mean, it's white. It's kind of like why you don't see a lot of. It's kind of like why you don't see a lot of. It's kind of like why you don't see a lot of big people wearing white, unless it's like a special occasion. They usually wear black because it like hides their weight. Well, for the people that are insecure about their weight, they wear a lot of black. I don't know why. Just imagine a white theater. Yeah, I don't know why either. That's not a visual. I need One time for Samaya to check in.

Speaker 3:

Oh dang, I need to drop her. She did a little promo for us. Samaya, I apologize, I'm going to drop the video, don't worry. Yeah, she did. She did a whole promo.

Speaker 2:

I was waiting. Yeah, I was waiting. We were talking about it in the office. Shout out to Sparkles Gwinnett. She was talking about it in the office and she was like, yeah, I did a whole promo for y'all and I was like I can't wait to see it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, no, I'm gonna definitely post it, I just did a little chicken run with his head cut off.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. Samaya, when you get older make sure you do your taxes on time, so you're not like Tanaka stressing but but yeah, man Trump, how are you?

Speaker 3:

feeling man, we didn't even ask you.

Speaker 2:

I mean I'm always running around like a chicken with his head cut off. I mean it's the same, same old, same old. Looking forward to Nice and Slow. That's really the tunnel vision. Right now there are a couple bookmarks that are in between Nice and Slow, like Cascade Sunday. I can't wait for that one. That's going to be fun, man, I'm so mad. Soulful sunday. So good, bro, they need you. They need you a soulful sunday man especially since I'm djing the session before you're doing a double.

Speaker 3:

Um, but yeah, it's all roads leads to nice and slow three. That's all I can really think of right now um, you know how to work behind the scenes.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, behind the scenes.

Speaker 2:

Like I said, y'all just keep an open mind. We got a lot of surprises for y'all, a lot of different surprises. And uh, yeah, just stay tuned.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, Dapper Dan. Mr PTSD Right Pimp named Dirty Dan Pimp named Dirty Dan.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, man. Well, look bro. I would talk about what's going on in the music world right now, but I feel like it's just been talked about. I feel like it's been beat with a dead horse right now.

Okay, I'm going to just let him talk For my people that don't know. I. I totally forgot breezy, I'm sorry. Um, this right here is our hall of fame screen, so these are like all the well, hall of fame and the guest of our screen, so you'll see past. Guess the Bar scores and Hall of Fame. Hall of Famers that got inducted to the TNT Hall of Fame and I believe Scooby-Doo was, I think, tanaka. I think you picked Scooby-Doo.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so, yeah, so that's what that's about. That's what the screen is about. Um, so do I need to stall? Okay, beautiful, alright, I guess I'm chopping it up with you guys until Tanaka gets back. See, this is why I don't deal with that iPhone shit y'all niggas be talking about. Turn up, get an iPhone.

Speaker 2:

This bullshit like this is why I'm not. I'm never getting a fucking iphone. This shit's fucking stupid. But, um, before we get to the question of the day, let me just chop it up with y'all. Let's see who's here. We have, oh, demetrius and big meech and breezy. So, um, well, demetrius, if you're still here, um, no, I'm not gonna get. This just proves why I'm never getting an iphone like his iphone's fucking up, I'm not getting a fucking iphone. I don't have any kind of issues with, uh, with android, with my galaxy, my galaxy slash android. I, I have them. I have a great time with my shit. Um, I'm gonna ask you a question, demetrius, but I don't even remember what the hell I was about to ask you. Oh, breezy, by the way, um, when are you? Um, when?

Speaker 1:

are you going, when? Are you going to bail out? Monday, because I'm not gonna lie, bro.

Speaker 2:

I feel like I'm gonna need to uh. I feel like I'm gonna just uh a lot, bro. I feel like I'm gonna need to uh. I feel like I'm gonna just uh. Well, no, my, my, my, uh. My android doesn't do that. You might buy them a little j5, j5, a7, androids that do that, but my galaxy doesn't do that. Okay, cool, because I was about to head over. I'm about to head over there when I um, when we're done with this, because we have a lot to discuss. Well, no, we don't really got a lot to discuss, but I have some future plans that we need to discuss. Um, so, yeah, y'all stay tuned for that too. I got some stuff I'm got in the works. Possibly, possibly, is one ending early Breezy. What are you talking about? Who is calling me? I don't know who you are. Wait, hold on, let me see. Shout out to Kadif. That's his name, right. Shout out to Kadif calling me.

Speaker 3:

Did you pick up the phone? No, I'm talking to the bro.

Speaker 1:

I'm putting it on the podcast. I'm talking on the podcast.

Speaker 2:

Bro, I don't know that man like that. You know that man like that. Oh, he left a message. Oh, it must be important. Okay, go ahead. Shout out to Gideaf. Shout out to Gideaf. No, we're going to chop it off, off air Run that you want to move on to the question of the day. So, tanaka, what are some? This is going to be brief. Probably, I don't know, it might not be be brief, probably, I don't know, it might not be how you feel. What are some projects to you that?

Speaker 3:

are most impactful to you.

Speaker 2:

Most impactful um in terms of it in whatever terms you want, because I already know you from the goal into granular details and shit. Whatever aspect you take it to, whatever universe you want to take it to, bro, I mean what projects have impacted me.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's really quite a variety of, you know, different types of music. I mean I would I wouldn't say even different types of music, like just different types of r&b and different types of hip-hop, but albums that have impacted me I would sayace On Ready. That's a good one. Trouble, edgewood, ti King.

Speaker 2:

You were about to ask in what sense do these projects you really should go down the list. How did these impact you? Just like the different One time for AC check man, it's like and of course we had like contemporary R&B.

Speaker 3:

But the fact that we're able to have like I was kind of raised on the balance between the two. You know Cause I you know, of course, t course trey songs was like our generation but and the amazon more for like grown folk, you know. But I kind of have that balance r&b of like the older stuff, like they're not even old but it's like more mature, like lyrics and like topics that they're discussing, as opposed to like what chris brown and trey songs and jeremiah and like all of them pretty ricky. So it just gave different a balance and perspective I would say, you know, coming up and I don't know if that was necessarily, I don't know if it was the music or if it was just that like that's kind of what appealed to me as a kid.

Speaker 3:

You know, just seeing different perspectives in different perspectives. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like I just at an early age kind of learned that you just see people perspective like where they at Right and no one is in a sense wrong. It's like we all just have different perspectives. Just trying to figure it out, man, aren't we all? You know what I'm saying? It's so funny how I think somebody was speaking on it and they were just like bro.

Speaker 3:

These folk be swearing up and down trying to prove like they the expert and they know all this, and it's like it all really just cooled back to the Erykah Badu line. What's that, um? What's that? Um? Something like along the lines like a wise man knows that he knows nothing at all you know do you know? What's on this room, on and on she be having the gems. She definitely be having the gems yeah, she have a lot of game in that record.

Speaker 2:

She definitely has a lot of gems in those records, my bad.

Speaker 3:

This is kind of random.

Speaker 2:

Of course it is. Let's reel it out real quick.

Speaker 3:

So you've noticed the prices have gone higher and everything like across the board, or have you like?

Speaker 2:

this of just life in general. Yeah, like no, I'm not gonna lie, I haven't, I haven't. But I mean I in my head, my perception is my money is going to get taken away anyway, so I really don't pay attention to it. It hasn't been too detrimental for me to really be paying attention.

Speaker 3:

No, I just was wondering, like if it's going to get to a point where the prices are so crazy that people are just going to start trading stuff, Like I do this service for you, if you do this service for me oh barters.

Speaker 2:

I feel like people do that now.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I feel like it'd be to a higher extent though, mm-hmm, you know.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

I mean probably. That sounds about right.

Speaker 3:

We're getting back, oh good.

Speaker 2:

No, no, I mean I could see that happening, but that would have to be really extreme and I probably wouldn't see that happening in our lifetime.

Speaker 3:

I just see all these kids just's over here like upset.

Speaker 2:

What are the kids upset about?

Speaker 3:

I'm a college graduate, I've applied to 10 different jobs and they just won't hire me. Like, and the prices of everything is going up, going up, you know, and we're having to work.

Speaker 2:

I'm sorry, I feel like this. I feel like that happens with every generation. Prices is always going up, like, honestly, I, I don't know I don't know.

Speaker 3:

It's a wild world we live in, right? Yeah, but then again, like then, you got kids just like playing video games and they just balling out at the crib, yeah some kids make money off of that nah, that's what I'm saying. That's why it's crazy, how it's just like on the flip side of things. You know mhm bro going crazy on the video game, they chilling at the crib. He didn't even have to go nowhere, just.

Speaker 2:

You know, making boo-coos amount of money Just playing video games. Yeah, that's um, that's the thing, bro.

Speaker 3:

But Thanks for your question. Um, Nelly's suit. I feel like Nelly was kind of that good blend of like hip-hop and R&B, you know, because it kind of had a sing-songy flow. Ti's King to me was just it all coming together for TI at the time. And then I throw Carmen's B album in there too, you know, because of course I like trap stuff but to hear that feel good know feel the. You know hip-hop I think important for sure. So just trying to balance diet, I always reference music like food.

Speaker 2:

Balance, yeah makes sense.

Speaker 3:

I'm about to turn with what albums were instrumental for you.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, because I feel like I really haven't found that album that was like impactful enough for me that I don't know change anything in my life or anything like that. But there have been albums that made me change perception of said artists, like my Crazy Life. I feel like I just keep bringing up these same albums, but my Crazy Life definitely was an impactful album to me in a sense of was a impactful album to me in a sense of I well, I just thought I just thought yg was going to be a, a cte artist and that's it and just fall off and like I thought his peak was going to be who do you love? And but if you really, if y'all really listen to that album, that album is a masterpiece like that album is a real deal story from top to bottom. That shit is crazy.

Speaker 2:

Astroworld is another one that changed my perception of I mean, it didn't really change my perception of Travis Scott because my perception was already changed of him by the time Antidote came out, but that was the album where I was like, okay, I can deal with him. Same thing with Righty Rich. Please excuse my antisocialness, I definitely fuck with that album and I'll say One as a Kid. 8701. I mean, it didn't change my perception of Usher. It was just such a great album that I felt like he was untouchable at the time. Michael Jackson's last album well, his last real album, invincible was very impactful to me, which was interesting because that's when he was going through that child molestation situation.

Speaker 3:

You've heard what was I going to say. Have you heard the Thriller album?

Speaker 2:

No, Not all the way through.

Speaker 3:

I've heard songs like bits and pieces.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I'm almost sure folks hold it up to that regard for sure I'll listen to it.

Speaker 3:

I was like right straight through just all the way through you got slow songs up temple and something else yeah.

Speaker 2:

Check out our old TNT podcast episode. One of the songs of the day was the Girl Was Mine. There's a reason that yeah, I ain't gonna lie, thriller is definitely a timeless one. Trying to think On an older tip, I'd probably say Chronic 2001. In my unpopular opinion, chronic 2001 is better than the Chronic. That's just my opinion. Um uh uh. Channel Orange for sure. Channel Orange for sure. Channel Orange for sure. Because Channel Orange and it's funny I always keep bringing up this album. But you want to put me in a good mood and I'm just cleaning around the house or just I don't know, chilling, or whatever Channel Orange is the way to go, for sure for me that was big for the generation yes, like to the point that and I think you were there with me at metro diner, bro I wanted to uh sing super rich kids.

Speaker 2:

Right bro, I got hella geek like I passed, but I skipped I purposely skipped everybody for him and I was like dang, he does have a second verse.

Speaker 2:

I'm like, bro, you need help on the earl sweat shirt, that's bro I was bro, I was hella geek when he when he sung that, but anyway, so, um, yeah, man, I mean, I don't know, I feel like music is very impactful to certain people. For me, personally, I haven't had that one to like hit me for real, for real, like, like, like, like here, but like like here, like I can like I don't know, definitely feel like, oh yeah, this is, this is the one, it's a dope, it's a dope record. But, um, yeah, man, those are, those are all mines up off the top my head.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'll say that's a list, a channel or I'm I'm gonna revisit. Oh, you definitely gotta revisit that one. Oh, I'm not gonna lie, bad, bad religion like that. That was like dope records. Yeah, nice listening to.

Speaker 2:

Then that three stacks pink matter you know what I probably would say, but I didn't listen to it all the way through was lupe fiasco's second album?

Speaker 2:

the cool yeah, I probably would say that one, but I didn't listen to that one all the way through. Lupe was definitely um, oh my dumb ass, fucking. Music Soul Child, the fucking the first album. What's the first album called I Just Wanna Sing. I Just Wanna Sing. Yeah, I Just Wanna Sing. That's a good one. You know what I lied? See, now I'm backpedaling.

Speaker 2:

I probably say probably the most impactful impactful to me because I immediately, as soon as I hear it, I just immediately think of my grandfather is, um, the frankie beverly. The frankie beverly amazed. I don't know what album that is, but it's whichever one has. And, hell, it might have been the greatest hits album, but it had before I let go. It had golden time of day, it has southern girl and it has something else on it. I don't know whatever album that is. I'll probably say that that's probably like the closest. But, yeah, if I can figure out the name of that one, that one, yeah, I probably say that one will be up there too. Um, and james brown. I'll probably say a lot of james brown too, because he used to listen to that shit too. Um, but yeah, man, uh, that's, that's those. Those are the ones that I could definitely probably impacted me the most.

Speaker 2:

No, that's true, yeah, yeah, so, um, what we got next? Guess the bars? Yes, the bars, all right. So, uh, next level. I think I have a pen this time. Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know what Guess the Bars is, we have some hip-hop songs that we give out to each other and we read them out. Try to see if we can figure out what it is, and we rate it on the F scale, which is from 5 to 1, fire, ferocious, flat Frisbee, fecal. And, yeah, if we know it, we try to see if we can go from there. The hell did I do with my sharpie? I?

Speaker 1:

had a sharpie down.

Speaker 2:

I feel like I put it down somewhere stupid of course, at the time I actually had it okay, oh okay, that's cool. Alright.

Speaker 3:

I'll let you go first. Let's see if we can get some more sexy bread in there. If she left with me, she the right hoe, and if she ride me, I the right hoe, and she ride me like a BMX. She said the D is for Dyno. I got two horns like a rhino. It's no way you could buy a hoe, but I bought a mansion with a slide door this. I open up the slide, though, so you can hear her hit the high note. The D is for dyno that was your favorite part.

Speaker 3:

I'm trying to think who this is. This is very I feel like you gotta kind of throwback the vibe to it, or maybe that's just how I read it. If she left with me, she the right ho. She ride me like a BMX man. She said the D is for dino, Got two horns like rhinos. No way you can buy a hoe. But I bought a mansion with a slide door. Yes, I opened the slide door so you can hear her hit the high note. Yeah, I don't got a guess for this one man who we got B-Dub.

Speaker 2:

Oh right, one right who we got bit of. Oh right, this is a flat, what yep? So that was, um, that was a shot to meet me on the check-in. That was Lil Uzi Vert. That was Sanguine Paradise. Got you, have you ever?

Speaker 3:

heard Sanguine Paradise. I have. I forgot who suggested it. I was like dang. This is a. It's that one beat.

Speaker 2:

Michael Montana.

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Speaker 3:

It kind of confused me because I think I heard it on the radio and I was like what is this? Because they was playing it in the mix yeah, such a random sample.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I wouldn't even know, but I guess that was a pretty huge record. I wouldn't even know Lil Uzi would even know that song, but I guess that was a pretty huge record, I don't know. All right, let's see what we got. Homie holding a Nina could sneeze him a brick Knee deep in the cocaine trees in the six Biggie on the stereo, seven-digit, flip the scenario something go wrong. It's a brutal, oh, it's a burial. My bad, hit the hood, watch it go round and round like a merry-go White seats, new M5, all cherry though. Heard you aces, oh, my bad. Heard you at aces Cavarciere toasting the niggas that beat cases knowing you were correct on a name-to-name basis.

Speaker 2:

This is definitely giving me like a 2000s, 90s vibe, or, if it's not, it's like Joey Badass or Action Bronson or someone along those lines. What Did I say? Something wrong? No, no, no, oh, okay, okay. I feel like if I heard this, it'd be cool. I'd give it a flat ferocious. No, I'd give it a ferocious flat. It's cool, it was cool. Like I said, 90s, 80s, 90, like I said 80s, 90s I mean not 80s, 90s, 2000s and, if not, like one of those lyricists with a good core fanbase like Action Bronson, joey Badass, Good core fanbase.

Speaker 3:

That's crazy what. Anyway, yeah, so something like that who we got solid independent, yeah, basically, yeah, um, this is a word called keys to the crib by rick ross featuring name song. I think that's the name of the song. He's too, I think so. It was off the Rich Forever mixtape, but this is Styles P's verse Ah, Beautiful.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense than Rick Ross.

Speaker 3:

Ah that makes a lot more sense. Your solid hardcore fan base.

Speaker 2:

There it is Styles. P, or he is a 90s artist, so you know. Okay, let's see Keys to the crib. Yep, keys to the crib. Like you said, I don't think I've ever heard that song. I didn't think I ever heard Rich Forever all the way through.

Speaker 3:

I just heard different records. I'm putting on a show. You need a budget seating. I didn't different records. I'm putting on the show. You need a better seating. I didn't do it. Give me, I didn't want to do it, it gave me every reason. The point I'm trying to make is I don't ever need them. So, seeing what you did for fame, what you do for fame, what you do for freedom, I feel like I've heard this before.

Speaker 2:

Before I even I can't even find it, Wait, read it again. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3:

I've been putting on a show like it was. I've been putting on a show. It was a sellout event. Oh, you need better seating. I didn't want to do it. Gave me every reason. The point I'm trying to make is I don't ever need them. Do it gave me every reason. The point I'm trying to make is I don't ever need them. What you do for the fame? What you do for the fame? Um, I'm getting a flat for horses.

Speaker 2:

Anything in particular stand out. Do you have any?

Speaker 3:

favorite lines Not really, not really. I'm not going to lie, I'm not going to turn up. I'm halfway, I'm not in bed right now. I feel like a dope thing, ready to go to sleep, drowsing off and shit. I do like those bars though I do, I did enjoy them. I don't know who we got.

Speaker 2:

I'm a little nervous because you got that look like it might be somebody crazy. So it's interesting that you pulled those bars, because this is a fellow that's been in the news lately. This is Drake.

Speaker 3:

That's off of Back to Back. Oh, I see, okay, yeah, I see, okay, yeah, I didn't memorize that song, so are you, drake.

Speaker 2:

Phillip will be proud of that score. We probably wouldn't, because you didn't give it a fire, but yeah, so yeah, Miss New York, you're welcome to come on the podcast man.

Speaker 2:

You know you're more than welcome, man, more than welcome. Alright, let's see what we got. Let's wrap this up so we can uh, let's not go to sleep. Um, I done seen too many real niggas lose. Wait, no, is it? I done seen too many real niggas loose. I done seen too many real niggas loose. I see too many real niggas loose like he, like he's he seen niggas loose, or is it lose, or is it like he's like singing? He's like, ooh, some shit like that. They lose, lose. Okay, I'm saying too many real nigga's lose. And then this bitch nigga beat me. Got that from Pac. It feels the same way when I drop, like God is with us. Now Lesser nigga try to trick back to the penitentiary, sit me down, but I ain't going for that. I ain't going back for my words right now. Cause, truthfully, what we do what we do, we got just a couple of niggas getting hot off of club songs, wearing thongs on drugs. Now I am wrong. Yeah, I don't know how to feel about this one. What, uh, what, yeah?

Speaker 3:

how'd you get, or what kind of threw you off? Yeah, I don't know how to feel about this one. Yeah, how did you get, or what kind of threw you off the thong, the thong part, the thong part. What time? Oh, it's whenever you get off on Gold Rush.

Speaker 2:

Right. Also, do I need to answer that one? I'll answer it. That's cool, yeah. Yeah, I'm going to give it a Frisbee, because it was, I don't know. It was hard for me to read and some of it was a rhyming, and then this loose thing kind of threw me off dongs. Uh, it's a lot going on. I hope this is a woman, but I don't know.

Speaker 3:

It's just a lot who we got was you gave it a frisbee. Yeah, I knew that that. This is beautiful, it's time and it is off of Edgewood 431 days the next day. That's actually a shout out to Sean. He loves that song. No, no, he doesn't love the song he. He always says, it's time oh gotcha interesting flow on that one, I bet. Yes, it's a lot of like you know, when rappers kind of like talk rap. I ain't, I'm not really a fan of that.

Speaker 1:

That's basically what.

Speaker 3:

That's why it sounded so weird. I'm not a fan of that Heartbreak Hotel, but you can't take no L's Plug like AOL who say that I ain't gon' sell. Hand me the H, I'll sell. She said I got a ninja. I said I ain't gon' sell. Buy the pound, so it ain't no scale. Hmm, buy it by the pound, so it ain't no scale. How?

Speaker 3:

do you feel about this or no. I, I got a ninja, I ain't gonna tell just that scenario. In general, the classic, right, the classic that you know well, we know how you feel about that.

Speaker 2:

um, I mean, look, it's like my band director told me and I didn't understand this until I got older- What'd they say? Character is what you do when people are not watching.

Speaker 3:

I ain't close doors.

Speaker 1:

That's how I feel about that.

Speaker 2:

I hear you Shout out to Mr Goins by. By the way, I hope you're doing well, probably not listening to this show, but you know, shout out to you.

Speaker 3:

yeah, this doesn't do too much for me, I'm gonna give it a flat frisbee. Flat frisbee, because I'm not a fan of that. I got a ninja. I ain't gonna tell I'm not one of of that. I got a ninja. I ain't gonna tell I'm not one of them, dudes, but if you are, there's plenty all out though, plenty, plenty. So I am not ignorant to the fact that I'm unaware that there are a whole bunch of folks out here that go back back. Don't worry about it, don't worry about your man. You know what I'm saying. I ain't gonna tell you to say nothing. I'm playing my role inside. Dude, you know you're all good. Woo, woo, woo, yeah, but you know how I am type of time. So I hear that.

Speaker 2:

Who we got bystanders.

Speaker 3:

Fitting. Travis Scott has never really been the greatest lyricist, definitely not, which is you know.

Speaker 2:

It's funny that you say that I feel like that's why I didn't care for his rap when he was rapping.

Speaker 3:

I feel like he has his moments, but that makes sense. I don don't know.

Speaker 2:

He's more like sonics over like the actual words and I and that makes sense now that now that you say that out loud, because he's like one of the only people I could think of that I prefer that he does the melodic shit rather than rap, because, like Upper Echelon and all that shit, I was not a fan At all. Probably the only song I cared for in that era of Travis Scott was Mamacita, and I feel like it was because of Rich Homie and Young Thug Damn.

Speaker 3:

Turn up, man, you jogging some memory boy, here we go. All right, mama Seeta, you ever play, that I play that I go over it sometimes.

Speaker 2:

Hey, mama, seeta, seeta, seeta, great record.

Speaker 3:

I won't care. Great record. That is a very good record. I just go to show you, man, it's so many man, that time period was so All right, let me not be an old head.

Speaker 2:

Well, look, bro, you can reminisce on your old times. The young is going to do about their time, why you can't do about yours. Fuck that shit.

Speaker 3:

That was just such a great. That was like when rich homie and them that was like what?

Speaker 2:

yeah, that was like no, like that two peas in a pod.

Speaker 3:

You feel me, and it's just like the fact that they came together on that record, like that. It's just like so far, right all right my turn. Yes, sir, wait. No, it's your turn, it's my turn. I pulled it, oh yeah duh, that's funny.

Speaker 2:

I think you just went sidetracking. I just thought I did it. Um, let's see, all right, let's see we got, uh, your little money running. Oh, I did, I'm sorry, I almost pressed it and get it I'm sorry I didn't do that.

Speaker 2:

Your money, your money running low. Uh, I'm in the four-door ghost with the zoe couple mill and a cd, living like I'm big me shout out big meech um. Uh, probably in the streets with a four-wheeler, five cars in my driveway, depending on how I'm feeling, stashed the money in a body bag. Last month I made a killing. I feel like this is like the definition of flat. It's just like, it's just there. This is there, I would say Meek Mill, but he started talking about CDs. I mean, I guess he was, I guess Meek Mill was thereek Mill, but he started talking about CDs. I mean, I guess Meek Mill was there for CDs, but I don't hear Meek Mill talking about CDs. We could, I guess, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

He just says Maybe this is like Freeway or something, maybe it's some state property niggas, I don't know.

Speaker 3:

Philadelphia. Maybe it's Wiz, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Maybe it's Wiz, I don't know I don't know.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to give it a flat. This is Ace who, ace who. It's a record called Fear. It's an intro record to a mixtape. I think Starvation. That's when. To Mixtape. I think Starvation, ah, that's when he was falling off. I think yeah, slightly.

Speaker 2:

This after Bugatti yeah, this is when he was falling off. Y'all fuck with Ace Hood, though Ace Hood is one of the artists that I actually don't care if he raps or sings. Does the melodic shit. He's actually pretty talented at both.

Speaker 3:

Yes, a friend of mine's friend's husband. Wow, it's just me. My brother's buddy, bitch Sit Low. I've been drinking since my mama car around ninjas, asking me too many questions, fucking throat, rob da vinci, mike, december, we was losing. Now can I sport a couple in this? Play for bucks by brandon jennings? Play for Bucks by Brandon Jennings. This was all over. You said it's all over the place. It's just me and my brother's body, bitch sit low. I've been drinking since my mama called around Ninjas, ask me too many questions, fucking throw. Robbed a bench in my December. We was losing. Now we plan in can score the book. Let's play for boys. Yeah, I don't know why. I'm going to just guess Wagga Flocka. That's hilarious. It's got a frisbee.

Speaker 2:

Wow, yeah, I wasn't feeling that one sleepy tanaka's getting ruthless sleepy tonight getting ruthless boy out here um so that was um an artist named is michael da vinci. This is so in, in in my defense.

Speaker 3:

It's a feature it's the feature is mike michael. Is the feature michael's the feature?

Speaker 2:

yes, michael's the feature it's off of we don't know who michael is.

Speaker 3:

I don't know who mich is. However, how did you discover this?

Speaker 2:

song. I discovered this song off of an artist. His name is Isaiah.

Speaker 1:

Rashad which is the main artist, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

At least I know Isaiah Rashad, the name is.

Speaker 3:

I'm a little nervous Talking about.

Speaker 1:

Michael Sancho.

Speaker 2:

He is off of a song called Brad Jordan. He's off of the Silva demo.

Speaker 3:

I'm trying to think which Isaiah Rashad records. I've heard it should be my nigga Spoke. He's dope with it though.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, just Michael DaVinci, is it apparently?

Speaker 3:

That's just such an interesting name. His name is Michael DaVinci. Yeah, when I first read it, I thought Is he a white dude or something? No, he's black.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know, the black artist always chooses the, uh, what you call it, the, um, the white names you know, like Gotti and like shit, like that, like I mean, I guess, yeah, that shows influence yeah, so they did like. You know that shit cuz. When I first read it I thought it was uh um buddy from cool kids uh, baby kayla.

Speaker 3:

No, oh, who you talking about? No, the cool kids, the cool kids. Yeah, my dad you said rich kids, cool kids.

Speaker 2:

Uh, he's talking about, um, the skinny one whatever the skinny, I think his name is michael golden pie on fire, though I have with it.

Speaker 3:

Though, yeah, I fuck with cool kids. I have a cool kid.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I fuck with cool kids.

Speaker 3:

My favorite song from them how did you, how did you discover them?

Speaker 2:

uh, I feel like there was a song they came out with before mike english, that's who you think. Maybe yeah I think that's his name. Um, the only song I can remember right now is a song he had. They had called pennies, but there was another song before that. I don't know what the song was before that, but I remember pennies. And they had another song called fresher than you. Love that song. That was like one of my favorite songs, you know you wait.

Speaker 3:

How did you discover it through?

Speaker 2:

probably through m MTV or something, Because you know they were probably one of them up and coming. I think yeah.

Speaker 3:

I think it was a colleague Well, excuse me, I think it was a homie of mine that I grew up with. I think he EF'd with them, maybe, yeah, and he was just like you know, the cool kids.

Speaker 2:

I was like no, and then they had that like throwback kind of sound yeah like that pretty dope yeah, they give me like try call quest type vibes yeah they killed that.

Speaker 3:

Uh, I forgot. I don't know which one it was, but that Fat Raps remix. I've never heard of it no man, it's off that big show. I'll find the famous mixtape. It's called Fat Raps Remix. It got Dom Kennedy on there, check it out, check it out.

Speaker 2:

Alright, let's see what we got. They use the simple back and forth, the same old rhythm that a baby can pick up and join right with them, but their rhymes are pathetic. They think they cope. What is that? Which word?

Speaker 3:

Copaesthetic, copaesthetic, oh I'm gettingetic, copacetic.

Speaker 2:

Oh, so I'm getting TI vibes. There are rhymes that are pathetic. I think they're copacetic, copacetic, copacetic. It's misspelled. Oh, it's misspelled, I was trying to read it. Yeah, copacetic, using surgery, using nursery.

Speaker 3:

Using nursery terms.

Speaker 1:

Some of them folks that be on there Making these lyrics.

Speaker 3:

They're not the best.

Speaker 2:

Using nursery terms, at least not poetic, on an educated base, intelligent, wise, as the record just turns, you learn plus. Burn by the flame of the lyrics which cooks the human brain, providing, providing, overheating knowledge. Us burn by the flame of the lyrics which cooks the human brain providing, oh, hello, providing, overheating knowledge by means causing pain, like a migraine headache. Your cell starts to melt. While the technique spins, the whack is on the felt. This is definitely a 90s artist. If this is a night, this isn't a 90s art. This is a newer artist. This joint is getting a frisbee, but like I'm almost sure that this is a 90s, this gotta be, like a 90s 80s artist.

Speaker 3:

Um, why you say that to me? What about it screams 80s Techniques.

Speaker 2:

Wax Um what?

Speaker 3:

about it screams. 80s and 90s Techniques wax copasetic, oh man. I'm just imagining this, folks. I'm imagining in 2024, you want to battle on wax.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like what, Bro? We don't even use CDs anymore.

Speaker 3:

You're talking about wax. I know, bro, what the fuck are you?

Speaker 1:

talking about Right.

Speaker 3:

What the hell are you talking about, right?

Speaker 2:

now, yeah, I have no idea who this is. I'm going to go flat. Frisbee, see, this is where it's challenging, because I do feel like it's a 90s artist, but I feel like I don't want to go back and you tell me who it is. And I'm like Frisbee Because we're supposed to just stick with one, because I want to say he is talking about something. But if it's the 90s, then I get it. That's just how they were rapping at the time, right, but if this is like 2000. Let this motherfucker be from 2006 and older. I'm going to be like all right, bro, you, what? What the fuck are we doing? I'm going to just go flat, just to. I feel like I'd go ferocious. I'd go flat, ferocious. I'd probably say 3.1, 2, 3, maybe If it is a 90s artist, that's what I'm going to go with.

Speaker 3:

This is Future. What's that? I was waiting. This is a song called future. So what I was waiting? I was waiting. This song called Eagle Trippin' is by the Ultra Magnetic MCs of the 1988s and this is Cool Keith's verse. And Cool Keith was known for his intellectual. They were kind of, and Cool Keith was known for his intellectual. They were kind of weird, like in their raps and stuff. So that was kind of their creativity and just like what they were known for. And on top of that, cool Keith was kind of he was the one that was like real forward thinking, just like you know, because a lot, of, a lot of the stuff that we hear today in hip-hop came from a lot of like the stuff that they made off of that album.

Speaker 3:

Right and it's, it's crazy to think that so many elements that have stayed in hip-hop to this day have came from that album, whether it be like production or like you know how they did something. So right. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Interesting, very interesting. So this is the last one.

Speaker 3:

I think so. Y'all trying to turn, y'all trying to turn, to turn Y'all. I'm trying to turn A hat to a hole, but I'll let you hold some Empty out the whole trunk First. I choke you like. Mauricio Shogun Rua. Turn up. Who the? As you can see, I'm still looking.

Speaker 2:

Turn up as you can see, I'm still looking.

Speaker 3:

I have no one then hit you with the ruler. That ain't no fun. You don't want no war. You a young boy, I'm your old gun. Yo I'm trying to turn a half to a whole, but I'll let you hold some Empty out the whole trunk. First, I'll choke you like Mauricio Shogun Rua, then hit you with the booger. That ain't no fun. You don't want no war, you a young boy, I'm your old boy. Who is Mauricio Shogun Ruad bro, who is that? Who is that man?

Speaker 1:

Let's keep this moving on. We ain't got time to call Drip because he's falling asleep. Call him D like the man Bro you tired. Let's keep this moving on.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we ain't got time to call Drip because he's falling asleep, call him Drip man.

Speaker 2:

No, we ain't got time for that. We're going to do. I'm going to go first because, whatever my nominee of the TNT podcast is a meme from. I feel like this is from Vine era. I don't know what show this is from, but it was some big black guy and he's walking and he's like surprise, motherfucker, I don't know where the fuck, I don't know what. I don't know where the fuck, I don't know what show it's from. But apparently the joke is they just doing the same thing and they're just finding shit that rhymes and Like that was just like the most goofy shit ever and I feel like that's like one of the earliest video means I've ever seen. So that's why I make that my TNT podcast nominee for the Hall of Fame. Yeah, surprise, motherfucker, all rise, motherfucker, shoot the child, motherfucker. So yeah, I thought it was pretty funny.

Speaker 3:

I swear to God, if you nominate me, I'm going to cry.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to choke.

Speaker 3:

Nah, man, we got to let Cassidy chill man. We gotta let Cassidy chill man, cassidy chill man. We got to Gotta let the old gun chill man. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

Holy shit.

Speaker 3:

There's a.

Speaker 2:

DJ on there too.

Speaker 3:

I can just imagine him rapping to me now.

Speaker 1:

DJ Tono.

Speaker 2:

No, dj Tono you lived up north, you never heard of a DJ Tono. No, I mean you lived up north, you never heard of a DJ Thono.

Speaker 3:

No, look man, when Kasney came to Syracuse it was a little mixed reaction to some of that new music he performed.

Speaker 1:

I don't feel like he told me that one.

Speaker 2:

He had to stick to the hits. Oh, not my bad DJ Thoreau, Well I mean. But I could say that he had a mixtape with Cassidy, yeah.

Speaker 3:

What should we nominate? I wish we would dominate. Oh, apparently he's the cousin of Pru Respect. That's what's up um we'll put, uh put loyalty.

Speaker 2:

Go ahead, charge your phone. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we're just going to use the audio from the regular joint. This episode is fucking falling off the rails in a hurry. I'm going to have to do a lot of work on this fucking episode. I just feel it Good lord. So, for the people that didn't hear, we're going to put surprise motherfucker the meme versus loyalty and we'll go from there. Good lord.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, last but not least, man man, they had this witness lord I.

Speaker 2:

I hope they even heard what we were talking about, because, oh dang, that's right. Right, we'll talk about it later, because we don't even know if these motherfuckers even heard what we're talking about. Um, what we? Uh, we, on song of the day. And, by the way, I know you're tired, but you know, since we're on the audio, you're gonna have to speak up. I'm gonna show my best. All right, turn up. Song of the day. Yeah, hold on, uh, hold on. I'm just trying to talk. I'm trying to talk, fucking breezy.

Speaker 2:

Um, so song of the day is actually a song from the mid-2000s. It's a song by Lil Wayne called it's not a car. You may know what it's called.

Speaker 3:

Yep, yeah, I am.

Speaker 2:

What do you think about that song? Does that song stand out to you at all In?

Speaker 3:

any way, it definitely marks a certain time. There was kind of that era where everybody had that chocolate scoop. It kind of reminded me of just like the boys.

Speaker 2:

Right, I was like, yeah, I should just do it again. Right, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, Like she's just a kid, she can't be a good mom. Right, it was actually funny that you talk about the chocolate spoon. I don't know if this is the sample, but apparently, according to the new sample app, apparently the sample is from Get Money Club. I'm getting money on my mind, I'm getting money on my mind.

Speaker 2:

I don't know what that's from. Yeah, man, money on my Mind is the third song off Lil Wayne's 5th album, cartoon. In this song, lil Wayne talks and brags about his high amount of wealth using his amazing lyrical skills and, honestly, that's why everybody like calls him like like the GOAT of like the 2000s, like the 2000s rap, the 2220s rap, because like he definitely had some punchlines and that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2:

The song came out in December 6th uh 2005 when the album came out and I actually heard the song when I was in like 7th grade. It was one of the songs, um, because I really didn't have access to like a computer or anything like that, but like month to time. We always had like mixtapes and stuff like that. So I like those like.

Speaker 2:

Those are like one of the songs I always heard like Money on my Mind and I actually didn't really appreciate the song until I got older. But at the same time, the beat the beat is fucking nuts. So like, not only is Lil Wayne like, not only is Lil Wayne like Killing the song Like, the beat is like the horns is like highly intense and like. But the thing about Lil Wayne is like he's kind of a, he's kind of a yin to the yang, like this is around the time when Lil Wayne Wasn't doing like the, the yelling, like the yelling rap that he used to do back in like 2003,. Like older people. But this is before he started doing the singing auto-tune thing that he started doing in Carter 3. Carter III this is like laid back. This is like laid back cool, which is like probably like my favorite era of Lil Wayne. Like this is around like my favorite era of Lil Wayne the beat was made by the Runners.

Speaker 2:

DJ Nasty and LPM. So, tanaka, do you know? Do you know anything about the Runners, dj Nasty or LPM, all of them. So tonight you know, you know anything about the runners nastier, lvm, all they are. Thirds, I know about the one. I don't think I've seen it. Yeah, I think they did like it. So question Tanaka did you know that Lil Wayne had a video for this? Yeah, you did. Yeah To see.

Speaker 1:

Tanaka, and that's why we're friends.

Speaker 2:

So Lil Wayne did have a video for this, because for most people, most people don't know that he came out with a video for this. They just know that he had that. You, you know, you know how, back in the day, he had a video that were inside of me, like most people know about that, like ending part of hustle, but he did release a. I mean, he did have a video but he never released it officially. It was the. It was directed by a Jordan tower film. Yeah, so the videos, basically him, him flexing around Miami. Well, it looks like I just palm trees and when I see palm trees, I think of two places LA man, and it definitely didn't like that what he did, what?

Speaker 2:

well, he did what? Yes, jordan Jordan tell him. Oh, he did interviews. Yeah, so, um, yeah. So basically the video is is him you just flexing around Miami? It's funny seeing it was Mac made, but it's like in the background, it's like a young currency and it's just always interesting seeing currency, young money, currency. It's always interesting seeing currency Right, just come in town and dozen I'm fucking sick of dozen, but yeah, so you be playing that, though with cash I should. I'm definitely gonna start. Yeah, there's not a lot of currency, but I hope I need to get that something back. And obviously you know, you know, if you know Lil Wayne, the song is obviously YMCA beat, was obviously what it was under. So if you're looking for a song that got a highly intense beat with laid back Wayne but with still some of those metaphors and punchlines, and stuff.

Speaker 2:

I definitely recommend this one, that is, turn up the song, up some of those metaphors, punch lines and stuff I definitely recommend that is, my Monday is going to be Lil Ru 21 and up.

Speaker 3:

Basically Nasty Song and others.

Speaker 2:

No, I'm just playing. Shout out Lil Ru.

Speaker 3:

Do you know where Lil Ru's from Turner?

Speaker 2:

He is from one of the Carolinas. I don't know which Carolina, which one is it. I'm going to say South because I want to say he, my homeboy, shout out Mr 104, kenny he always talks about. There's not a lot of people that come from South Carolina artist-wise, and I feel like he was one of them. Final answer I guess, sure, ding, ding, ding. I'll take a line and it is yeah.

Speaker 3:

This was one of those albums that I had to check out Because I was just so Intrigued and curious as to hearing what the rest Of the album was sounding like.

Speaker 1:

Cause? Obviously we all know Nasty Song.

Speaker 3:

Going crazy. And so I just wanted to see what the rest of the project looked like. And the nerd in me had to find out who produced the beats on the album. No question, because I couldn't find the information anywhere online. So I was like there's only one way to figure this out I had to actually buy the album.

Speaker 3:

So I copped the joint and I was listening to it and it's interesting because Lil Rool is actually really diverse, with a lot of different styles and flows and stuff like that, and you can tell that like there is a lot of potential. I just don't think that the album was quite like capturing it all, like he was still kind of in experiment mode. But I think that if he had polished it up a little bit, like it would have been straight, cuz you know he does have a little sing-songy voice but then he kind of dabbles in with like some auto-tune and stuff like that and it's a little mixed results. I'll say that know, there's some that is cool, some that is not so much, but he had a lot of potential. I think, really honestly, def Jam didn't promote him properly, you know, because the album, I think only sold 1,456 copies in the first week.

Speaker 1:

456 copies in the first week and.

Speaker 3:

I doubt that that first week when it was out, I doubt that we could go to a Best Buy and it would have been sitting on shelves. Thanks, paul. I think that they just didn't the distribution. I think that they just didn't the distribution. I think they just didn't drop the ball for real, because there's no way you got a hit single like Nasty Song going on and they were undershipping albums like that. There's no way that the first week setter should be that low, Like there's 1,000? That's like his hometown right, yeah you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3:

like come on, man. Yeah, on the label, like dev jam we're not talking about independent like we're talking about devs yeah, but okay, so let's, let's think back okay, nasty song 2009 what did jeff?

Speaker 2:

j Jam have going for them in 2009. That probably would have distracted them from a little groove. The only thing I could think of right now is Blueprint 3. Wait, was Jay-Z on Def Jam Rockefeller. Was Rockefeller on Def Jam? Was he on Def Jam around that time? When was he the president?

Speaker 3:

2006.

Speaker 2:

And did it last for a while. Oh wait, 2000.

Speaker 1:

Did it last for a while I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I feel like the Blueprint 3 is like let's play the Blueprint 3.

Speaker 1:

Nah see, that came out on Atlantic.

Speaker 3:

Oh, okay, Asylum Atlantic Rock Nation.

Speaker 2:

So at the time, Nah, I'll do you one better, hold on. When did it come out? August 25th 2009.

Speaker 3:

August 5th 2009. August 5th 2009. So we're talking like Rick Ross, yeah that's what I'm looking at right now.

Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, yeah, yo, you said August. Yeah, yeah, bro, he was getting pushed under bro, he was getting pushed under bro. I'm looking at Rihanna. Oh, this is the remixes, but still the Dream Love vs Money, the Last Kiss, oh.

Speaker 3:

Deeper Than.

Speaker 2:

Rap yeah.

Speaker 3:

Deeper Than Rap. That's what I was thinking, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Chrisette, michelle Epiphany. Oh, the Jamboree, flye, fly, shout out to fly. There they go. Uh oh, ace hood's first album. Oh wait, no, yeah, yeah, that's his. That's the second second album. Yeah, what was on the second album?

Speaker 3:

uh, champion, open time. Why don't I remember one of those.

Speaker 2:

Yeah damn, I don't remember this at all um play the circle mariah carey. Oh yeah, bro, he bro, he was definitely getting pushed up. Oh, and then Rated R is getting released after this. Oh yeah, nah, they ain't worried about Lil Roo. He ain't taxed her or nothing. Nigga, what If that, if that? But yeah, so what are some hidden gems off of Lil Ru's album?

Speaker 3:

I like the intro record All I Ever Know Nasty song and yeah that's Money. I like the two kind of singles yeah that's money is what Rick Ross and it's pretty feel the record. I'm so I don't know. I feel like that's something that you could. It's a pretty feel-good record, Honestly. I would ask you to turn up if you would ever play it in a strip club or something.

Speaker 2:

A strip club. Yeah, a strip club is free to lose. You know, when you told me about the Party Life song by Jay-Z, I played that in the beginning. I played that in the morning to get the shit started.

Speaker 1:

I love that record shit started, so I love that record. That's Sam Wood.

Speaker 2:

Nice.

Speaker 3:

Top tier, Obviously Life. Life is one of those real-time records.

Speaker 2:

So he has a song called life.

Speaker 3:

Play the church organ, of course of course they do lash as all rappers out. And then he has a song called Give it Up at the end, featuring a fellow Atlanta rapper, psy.

Speaker 2:

High the Prince, of course, beautiful. I know that's probably your favorite record, so make sure you check that one record out. Fuck the rest of the album. Just listen to the Psy verse and then turn it off.

Speaker 3:

But he had a, I think, fina Me. I think, if I remember correctly, fina Me was another one that he had with DJ Toon. That was pretty cool and some of the Auto-Tune stuff was cool too. I think he did like he had a record with Sexy Ladies and just some feel-good stuff with them and all that. So yeah, like I said, lil Rool experiments a lot.

Speaker 3:

They described him as being like a gumbo, in terms of like being able to sing rap, you know different flows and all those things. So it's just unfortunate that he didn't you know, he didn't blow up to be bigger One of them one-handed wonders type shit. He didn't blow up to me, big man One of them one-handed wonders type shit. Apparently, les Charlemagne, the God, said that. Um, I guess he had a deal in line with Asylum Records, not Def Jam, and at the last minute little rude became impatient or something like that and went with dev jam instead of asylum, and charlamagne feels like that was kind of his big misstep as far as his career because of the roster that dev jam had, and so it didn't get any notice at all. You know, know, with the project, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, you probably just saw that check. Yeah, that's usually where artists mess up at. You see that check and you're like, oh yeah, I mean I don't blame him though, because I want to say he had a single out like 2001, 2003.

Speaker 3:

Didn't know that, but he was real young, so he's been in the industry. I think he was with Capitol Records back then, so yeah. I bet you know probably all, all years he finally thought that this was a big. This was a big one. Big payday I'm a day 21 and up Little Rue, make sure y'all check it out. Man, some down south, you know down south flavor, south Carolina rapper you know One of the few that I've ever heard from and yeah, big Salute.

Speaker 2:

Big Salute, big Salute. Alright. So what we got next? Dj talk. Yep, all right. So.

Speaker 1:

So, Tamar, I got a question for you.

Speaker 2:

Quick, hypothetical. What's that? If you could talk to yourself when you first started DJing, what would you tell yourself? What would you?

Speaker 1:

tell yourself.

Speaker 3:

Stay on top of the organization Probably just make more mixes and just keep throwing shit at the wall, bro, Because honestly I feel like that's you just naturally get better the more mixes that you make. You know, you start to learn different things, you start to pick up on different things and you start to hear different things that you might want to tweak and critique about your craft. Yeah, honestly, I don't know how you do it, you know?

Speaker 1:

what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

You done, learned a lot of techniques in the game, man, you know. So I appreciate it. You know, appreciate it. Shout out to Curiosity Like what I'm, the type I never would have thought to like play the hook and then drop a song after After.

Speaker 2:

the hook. Oh, you're usually.

Speaker 3:

With the bass of the beat like still playing. I never would have thought to do that. I just thought everything had to be mixed perfectly.

Speaker 1:

But sometimes people want to hear the intro.

Speaker 3:

You know, and that's something I don't think I would ever try it out, so to speak.

Speaker 1:

So kudos to you, charlie, because right so good see that, but this is when it gets weird, because it's one of those butterfly effect type things.

Speaker 2:

And I don't know how anything would have turned out had I, if I would tell, if I could talk to myself in 2012. If I were to talk to myself in 2012, it would just be such a and I know I'm getting too granular, but I just I just know. I just know how, I just know how my mind works. Um man, just know that my first thought, I know my 2012 self first thought would be bro, you got fat, what the fuck, bro, what happened? And then I would have to explain. 2024 turnip would have to explain bro, look, this is what's going to happen. Explain, bro, look, this is what's going to happen. X, y, z, a, b, c.

Speaker 2:

But you don't have to, you don't have to work a nine to five. You, you'll have to work. You'll okay, I'll say this you'll have to work a nine to five. Um, when you come, when you come back, when you come back from school this year, you're going to have to work a nine to five for about four years. After that it's off to the races. But what I will tell you, but this is when we hit the unknown Stay in South Carolina State Because, bro, you have a talent that nobody else has, like, even the mentor that's mentoring you right now, dj.

Speaker 2:

I think, his name is DJ. His name was DJ Kid. He wasn't a good DJ at all, however dope person, awesome person. Didn't know how to transition, didn't know how to mix, but he had, he had the equipment he had. He gave me the equipment and the speakers. Yes To take. He didn't give me the no gave to take. He didn't give me the. He gave me the equipment. He gave me the equipment and he gave me the advice of start low, work your way up and what I would. Some other advice I would give to him is I'm going to just leave that choice up to you. Just know, if you do leave South Carolina State, this is what happens. I would give to him is I'm going to just leave that choice up to you. Just know, if you do leave South Carolina State, this is what happens.

Speaker 2:

I know that I can tell you that and you're good, you're going to be fine. You'll be working four years and then you'll leave and it's off to the races. However, I would recommend that you stay at South Carolina State and, hell, even if you don't actually go to the school, just keep networking and do these college parties. Do these college parties and you'll probably be able to do some concerts. Hell, you'll probably be able to do the homecoming homecoming shits.

Speaker 3:

That networking really cracked me.

Speaker 3:

I'm not gonna lie to you, that's really like the most like because I was having this conversation with my mom, bro, is that, like you know how these folk be, like oh, I'm a college graduate or whatever, and these jobs be asking like, oh, what experience you've had, and all that. The crazy thing about it is when I see, is that the folks that actually just do it like have no idea what they're doing, but they just start dropping work, bro, and keep working at it, like they eventually like it's just gonna get passed around word of mouth and like so-and-so's gonna be like oh yeah, so you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

And like one thing will lead to another bro, you know it's funny that you bring that up. Shout out to Randy for bringing this conversation up. He used to tell me that's why when he would hire folks, he would prefer to hire folks at All American that have no experience rather than have experience, because people that have experience are used to the way they do it and how they've been doing it at their other spot, rather than them not knowing anything at all. And we train them right. So it's interesting you bring that up.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's like but that's why, cuz I take that even so, like with the shot by Sanago, you know I'm saying, like there wasn't no school that I went to for that bro, like there wasn't, no, there was no rules. Really, you know I'm saying and so when people come to me and ask me like advice and stuff. It's just like man, my advice is just go shoot. You know what I'm saying. Just keep shooting videos and find your style. You dig, because everybody got a perspective, you know, and everybody's not going to have the same perspective.

Speaker 3:

So you just have to find your perspective and the folk that's going to rock with it, they're going to rock with it. You dig Like there was nobody that told me to shoot it a certain way or this, that and the third. Like there was nobody that told me to shoot it a certain way or this, that and the third. Like I just kept shooting and then I just saw what I liked to watch and then, you know, thankfully other folks felt the same way. So it's like I don't know. I just feel like that applies to everything. Really, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. I just feel like that applies to everything, really.

Speaker 3:

I don't know. Sometimes it just takes a little longer for others to find the folks that see their vision.

Speaker 2:

Right, yeah, man, that's what I'd probably tell. That's probably what I'd tell my younger self. How do you think your younger self would have reacted to what you were saying? I have no idea. Probably nervous, skeptical, like is this even? Like, does this just so happen to be somebody that just looks like me, that just wandered up in this fucking college? Right, I feel that. But yeah, I would just tell them, like, look, bro, just know, you got two options. One I do know for sure, the one I don't Wait you said 20 schools specifically, or you just said 10 years.

Speaker 3:

No, what was the scenario coming or?

Speaker 2:

I mean, you wake up, sir. If you could talk to yourself when you first started DJing, what would you tell yourself?

Speaker 2:

size 2014 yeah, yeah, I was just tell them. I would just tell them you got two options. Also with the networking, listen to your mentor. Don't worry about the money right now. Worry about getting your networking up first. So once you get your networking up, you can make your own rates and once you start getting your own you know money you can start buying your own speakers. And once you start buying your own speakers, you could just do whatever the fuck you wanted to do.

Speaker 2:

Because I'm not gonna lie, bro, like when I got into djing, like once I learned the basis of like transitions and mixing, I actually never thought there was a point where I was just trash, like I never put myself. I don't think I ever put myself out there to where I was like trash. So, yeah, I don't know, but yeah, that's probably what I'd tell myself. Worry about the networking, um, yeah, and if you know well, honestly, hearing that I probably would have stayed, I probably would have stayed because me I don't like, I don't like knowing the outcome, like if, if I were to know that, like because here's the thing too I'd be like because because me, talking to myself, I know I'd be like I would like ask myself questions just to make sure that, like I'm really am talking to like like what's up?

Speaker 3:

are you on some red pill, blue pill section?

Speaker 2:

no, like, like, what's my mom? Like, what? What's mom's name? What's what's what's? Do I have a brother? Do I have a? Um, what's what's your other brother's name that's not Jaden. Like do I have a sister? If so, what's her name?

Speaker 3:

they couldn't answer that and they just said if.

Speaker 2:

I can't answer that, bruh. I can. What do you mean?

Speaker 3:

I can answer that, I know that no, that was the rules of to talk to your younger self, but you can't. You can only talk to them and give them advice, but you can't. You can only talk to them and give them advice, but you can't say like that wasn't a part of the Look, bro, that wasn't a part of all that.

Speaker 2:

Look, that wasn't. There wasn't a world regulation. Look bro, I've never seen that movie so I can't speak on that. You've never seen it. What the Matrix? Yeah, never seen a matrix. It's hard on killing. Never seen a matrix. You know that's the person that doesn't watch TV.

Speaker 3:

Speaker 2:

That was an interesting question, um, was there anything you'd like to add to your younger self, or was that about it? I?

Speaker 3:

just remember how nervous I was the first time I joined that DJ. Was there anything you'd like to add to your younger self, or was that about it?

Speaker 2:

I just remember how nervous I was first joining that DJ.

Speaker 3:

So would you tell yourself to relax or would you just say keep that same energy? No, because honestly I feel like that's every gig. You know what I'm saying.
