So um.
Speaker 2:No, you're good, You're good, you're good.
Speaker 1:Question TJ from a youngin's perspective, how much do you know about the game? The game like street-wise, something like that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't know no, okay, so there's a rapper? No, there's a rapper.
Speaker 1:Oh him, the rapper Game, and like Street wise, something like that. Yeah, he don't know, no, okay.
Speaker 2:So there's a rapper? No, there's a rapper, oh him.
Speaker 1:The rapper. Oh, I thought you meant Like street, like street knowledge wise.
Speaker 2:No, just. Oh. Well then, not much, not much, true? Yeah, not much, not much. I think he was on one of Drake's songs, though I can't remember Was he. I know Drake, I know he has a great song.
Speaker 1:I don't know, that's a game song. Yeah, that's interesting. That's interesting the 100, because that wasn't even a big song for me, for me boys.
Speaker 2:I feel you. No, that is a dope song, but that's crazy that's crazy. Think about that's a song that kind of went over my head. He was only 3 years old when the game dropped his album.
Speaker 1:He was 2? 2004?.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I thought the documentary dropped in 2004. It might have been 2005. I can't remember. I don't remember, but we're going to go a little further in the future. It's not the documentary this is on. This is actually on the Red album. So this was the time where I started falling off on the game, because I won't say it was a steep decline, but it was like. It was like from here to here and I was like but there was still some tracks on the Red album that I rock with, like the City and Red Nation was cool, and the track that I'm actually making my song of the day.
Speaker 2:Martian Zynga.
Speaker 1:You got me all the way fucked up. I can't believe. You even said that bullshit. Smite this man.
Speaker 1:Anyway so no, my track of the day is a song called the Good, the Bad, the Ugly. I don't know if any of y'all have ever heard this song, but it's a song where he's just kind of he's well, he's portraying that he got caught by the cops and he's um in, he's like in a what's it called an interrogation room and like they're like talking to him and he's like talking about what happened in the situation where I guess he was at home or something like that. That's one of my favorite songs on the Red album because I'm a sucker for storytelling. That's why I was. I'm gonna reel it out real quick. That's why I was a sucker for King Von. I was about to say that I sure was. That's why I was a sucker for King Von, because he had stories in a lot of his shit. But reel it back in Good to Bad to Ugly. I did a little research on Good to Bad to Ugly, because not?
Speaker 2:gonna lie.
Speaker 1:It's not a real long song and it wasn't a single. So I just vaguely remember this song because it was one of the songs I heard when I was at South Carolina State and I was like, oh yeah, this is my shit, because it's a storytelling, I can visualize what he's going through and what happened and all that shit. And it was just a dope record. So, um, hitboy was the producer. Um, hitboy was the producer. Um, apparently the sample Was from a song called Waiting by Bo Hassing. I think it's like a rock song or something. But yes, I don't know why.
Speaker 2:I thought you by Bo Haskins. I think that's like a rock song or something. I don't know why I thought you said Bo Hagen.
Speaker 1:For some reason in the back of my head. I knew you were going to say that I don't know why.
Speaker 1:But I just knew you were going to say Bo Hagen. But just read some facts for y'all for this, for this joint. As stated in an interview on billboardcom, he got the idea from the show, first 48, and then he painted up. Well, I'll just say exactly what he said on billboardcom I got the idea from the show, first 48, then I painted up against a story that I went through, myself and Compton, selling drugs and a dose of opium at 17, and no way shape or form am I telling this story, do I want anybody to reenact or try to do, because that situation almost got me killed. So y'all just got to hear the record, because it's a really dope record about him. Like you should gotta hear it. I'm not gonna spoil anybody's joint Good, bad, ugly, ugly.
Speaker 1:But according to Rap Genius, the track number is 9 from the Game's album, the Red album. He's in an interrogation room, like I said, explaining his alibis to a law representative regarding a homicide or crime. The song title is taken from a 1996 western flick of the same name. The game makes use of laid-back delivery and descriptive storytelling and a rapping style that is heavily resembling Biggie Smalls. This isn't the first time the game has done this either. Each verse depicts a more dissimilar situation. Verse 1's situation is the least violent and is likely told to the good cop. The situation of verse 2 includes a rougher scene being described in a less manly tone, perhaps in an attempt to get past the bad cop. Verse 3 showcases Game's confidence of cracking, which is basically he's not finna snitch. James' confidence of cracking, which is basically he's not finna snitch, who ultimately acknowledges the ugly truth of what went down.
Speaker 1:So yeah, that was the good, the bad, the ugly. I would definitely recommend y'all listen to it. I fuck with the song and that's crazy. Bring it all back. We're talking about the beat and the message Bro. That and them lyrics like the beat. The beat doesn't really, I'm not gonna lie. The beat don't really hit on nothing. So like you'll hear it and then you'll just kind of be like okay, but then like he starts rapping and it's like okay, I might have to listen to that song again, but yeah so that's turn up.
Speaker 1:Song of the day the game, the good, the bad, the ugly. This is gonna be interesting because this will be the first. This will be the first one that that I used two songs from the same album for the song of the day. Probably in like my the first few episodes, we did, we did, uh, we did, I did uh, bow wow's don the dutch right, and that was off of his third album, the unleash album, right. So now we're gonna go, we're gonna use that same album, but we're gonna pick the good, god almighty, um, we're gonna use the actual single.
Speaker 1:That was the main single off that album, which was, uh, let's get down, let's Get Down. So I will say this this was an interesting time in my life because I was I don't know, I was a kid. I remember at this point I was still in California, I was playing football and you know whatever, but, um, this was like I said on that episode. That was an interesting time because this is when Bow Wow's voice started to change Right and he started, like I said oh, bow Wow sounds older, oh, he's growing up, I'm growing up, we're growing up, you know shit like that Kid, shit.
Speaker 1:So what's interesting about this song is that let's Get Down was his first single without the little bow wow. Right, he's finally upgraded to bow wow, big bow wow, type shit. And this is also the first one with uh, without so so death. And I believe, if I'm correct, he had his little situation with Jermaine Dupri around this time too. I think that's why he dropped off of so so Death. Shout out to Rap Genius. Let's Get Down was the first single by Bow Wow in 2003, unleashed First one. First one without the little name Birdman Baby, whatever you want to call him, second track off the unleash album, and this was produced by mr ladies and gentlemen himself.
Speaker 1:Jazzy fay jazzy fizzle production the song is a real poppy song. It's a real poppy song talking about the different girls he knows and all this stuff. And he's getting older, so he's, you know, dipping and dabbing a little bit. And the video is actually interesting because he's like do you remember the video um tanaka?
Speaker 2:it's like, uh, was it a house party no, that was no you're thinking of.
Speaker 1:Let me hold you, that was, uh, the one with a mark. That's the, that's that one. But, um, nah, that this one. He's. Um, he's taking his driver's test and birdman's taking him around. I think either he's driving or he's with him, I don't remember. But yeah, I'm gonna take you around the trip by a while. Bad whistle, yeah, but yeah, it's a very interesting music video with him taking his driver's test and all that stuff. And yeah, it's a very interesting song. Like I said, it's just a real poppy song If you're into that kind of 2000s vibe hip hop like kind of hip hop.
Speaker 2:When was the last time I played this record? So that's.
Speaker 1:That's the question, boy. But no, I feel like I played it like last year, like on some like throwback 2000 shit, and I had I had played it and like one of the one of the skaters kind of like pointed, like like you're a real one for playing that. But, um, wait, hold on, wait, what Is this true? The song was written by Bow Wow, phelan, alexander Ramon Griffin and a then unknown TI. Did you know that? But then unknown. He wasn't unknown in 2002, was he ti? Didn't trap music come out in 2002 or was trap music in three? Oh, trap music came out in 2003, august 2003 ah oh, so urban legend came out in 04.
Speaker 1:Got you okay, so okay. So there we go. That's crazy, though I didn't know that TI wrote a little bit of that. Now I wonder what parts he wrote. That's interesting. I got a few of them. Here's what I did. Yeah, that's that's interesting. Fun fact, tnt. Fun fact, tnt fun fact that's.
Speaker 2:That's interesting fun fact tnt. Fun fact tnt fun fact.
Speaker 1:That's crazy, yep, and here it goes in september 2003 interview website with the website. What, uh, what at ti talked about his contribution to the bow wow third album unleashed the song and the song itself.
Speaker 1:Yeah this time around. I wrote some songs for him. Even on the single let's Get Down, I wrote the third verse and the hook. Usually, how we did it was Jazzy Faye. He'll write one verse. Bow Wow will write one verse, his homeboy Rocco will write one, and I will write a verse and come up with a hook. Wow.
Speaker 1:In 2009, bow wow commented on how ti to ghost writing for him on his third album didn't tarnish his credibility as an as a rapper said that he learned about songwriting process and contributing about 85 to the album while ti wrote full song, wrote a full song and a couple verses to a few tracks. That's interesting. But I did. I mean, I mean, I did know that bow wow didn't write a lot of his rhymes, but that's interesting. That ti is one of the people that um that wrote for him. That's interesting. But so if you're in the real 2000s vibe hip-hop, I would definitely recommend you listen to this song about Wilds featuring Birdman's let's Get Down. It's not really much of a feature for Birdman, he's just kind of talking in between the chorus and the verse, but yeah, like I said, it's a cool little 2000s vibe song.
Speaker 2:You know the cadence, bro? You said do I know the cadence? I know the girl named keisha. She's no groupie, be far from the stars. 22s made her choose me.
Speaker 1:Like, like, oh wait hold on, I'm trying to hold on, I'm trying to hold on, go up, go up. This is the third. This is is the second verse. Third verse this is the third verse this girl named Keisha. She's no groupie From starting. Damn, I'm trying to think Nah, I don't really remember the third verse.
Speaker 2:Telling all my friends in the bands he don't really look 16. Do he 112.? Youngest thing on the scene Couldn't believe when I seen how she squeezed the new jeans that sound like.
Speaker 1:TI, now that you said it, that looks like a tight situation Make a young man make flight reservations. Make a young man. Did he say young man? Yeah, oh my God, just that man. You know what's funny? And he probably want to say he probably want to say young nigga. He probably want to say young nigga, but he's like he can't say nigga yet On Bow, wow, boo, except but he's like he couldn't, he can't say yet on bow, wow boo, except no limitations.
Speaker 2:Should have seen the looks on their faces. The ice plus light makes for good conversation. Telling me, it's a felony to yell at me. I blew a fine sheet of days momentarily, but luckily she stayed for some theories to me. I stayed pimping heavily. Game spin thoroughly.
Speaker 1:Ha ha ha it's really really nice to meet you, ma that's my shit but yeah, let's get down yeah, yeah let's get down. Bow Wow featuring Birdman and apparently featuring TIT. So my song of the day is actually from a mixtape from about 10 years ago. 10 years, yeah, well, no, in may it turned 11, but um, it's a mixtape by, uh, chris brown and tiger. Fan of a fan did you listen to that album? I mean album, no, not the album. Did you listen to the mixtape?
Speaker 2:I think I heard a few records off the mixtape. I don't know if I actually heard the full tape.
Speaker 1:Okay, let me ask you this Was it the?
Speaker 2:two singles? Yeah, likely. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Well, actually they had three singles. For some reason they had that song with Bow Wow. They Ain't Thinking About you.
Speaker 2:I think I do recall that record.
Speaker 1:Actually I think I do I vaguely remember, for some reason, the only song I could think of is, uh, that, what's the one got me feeling like, oh, what's the name of that? You can get it all for some reason. That's the only song I could think of. But, um, nah, uh.
Speaker 1:So I heard this album, and I think I only heard this album because this is, this is pre-turn up, this is pre-turn up. So pre-turn up, what pre-turn up used to do is he used to have cds and he would have two sets of cds and it would one would have twerk music on it and one would have slow jams on it. And from this mixtape I used to have, uh, no bullshit, and like a virgin, I think that's it. I had. I had them two, uh songs on the on the Slow Jam CD. But a little later, once the I guess once the mixtape and joint got, I mean, kind of fell off, I went back and actually listened to it, right, and I heard track two and I was like, wow, this track is dope. Okay, let me ask you this have you ever heard of a song called what they want?
Speaker 2:not. Yeah, I can't recall if it's by tiger and chris brown, I can't. Yeah, I can't, off the top, recall it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I would have to revisit um, that song, I'm not gonna lie, I feel like it's more the beat holding the song. But I mean, in all honesty, I feel like the song is just a really dope song, like I feel like it could definitely be a club opener. Like a club opener or like a seat filler, like you could get away with playing this sound like a club, strip club or whatever, because the beat is just.
Speaker 2:The beat is crazy and you is.
Speaker 1:You know who made the beat Kevin McCall.
Speaker 2:He did a lot of work on that project right.
Speaker 1:Basically a good 90%.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:It looks like, according to Wikipedia, the only other people that made tracks off of here is the Business Jaleel Beats Well, apparently, yeah, you got something on here. Business Jaleel Beats Well, apparently, yeah, you got something on here. K on the track Calvo the Great and Cassius Clay oh, no, id, wow, they got some hitters on here but anyway so what they want.
Speaker 1:I heard what they want and I was like, wow, I'm like upset that I didn't listen to this mixtape because, like I can definitely see and they're smart because they made that the second track it's right after the intro, so I feel like that's the first song you hear, right, and I feel like that sets the stage for a fan, of a fan, right, I feel that.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I feel that.
Speaker 1:That's definitely my song of the day and that's one of my like favorite songs. Like it's probably like for Chris, probably a little lower, but this is definitely one of my favorite Tyga songs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Because, yeah, Now you know it's interesting. I was more of a Trey Songz fan. I got songs. Yeah Cause, yeah, Now you know it's it's interesting. Um, I was more of a Trey songs fan than a Chris Brown fan. You know what I'm saying. So, and I'm not going to cap like, growing up I didn't really listen to mixtapes like that. I really used to only listen to albums.
Speaker 2:You know, what I'm saying. So I had to kind of like do my homework up on all the mixtapes and stuff like that, because that's gonna be having fire on it, you know, I mean, but um, yeah, so I was more of a tray fan so I didn't check out, fan of a fan. But I know, as far as chris brown mixtapes, that's like up there you know I'm saying it's like one of the classics for sure.
Speaker 1:So definitely by the way, yeah, just off subject of the song that, uh, that like a virgin again, I gotta play that. I gotta play that for one of my slow sets that they used to get that used to get the slow set started.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you've ever heard that song either I would highly recommend you add that to your slow jam mix, but anyway, yeah, what they want. Um, that song was really dope. If you guys never heard it, I would definitely, uh, recommend you guys check it out. It's more of a club vibe. Chris Brown doesn't do a lot of singing on there. He does a little singing on the chorus, but it's definitely more him and Tyga rapping. I want to say Chris Brown, if I'm correct, because I haven't heard the song in a while but if I'm correct, chris Brown starts it off with the rapping and I think Tyga has the second verse and I think he's doing like I said, I think he's doing a little singing on the chorus, but it's definitely a. It's definitely like a, like a club, like a club joint. I'm mad they didn't do nothing with it, because that I feel like they could have did something with that record. I want you to, I want you to go back and listen to it and tell me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna actually listen to the whole tape. You know what I'm saying, cause I ain't you know I'm gonna give it a listen cause I haven't actually checked the project out for real, but I know that that's like a classic. You know breezy project for real.
Speaker 1:So I definitely feel like this was a transition for Chris from little Chris Brown to grown Chris Brown. Right, we didn't have a lot of little Chris Brown, so I feel like it wasn't as hard to give up on little Chris Brown because he was already like 16 by the time you know, so, yeah, but yeah, what they Want.
Speaker 2:Oh, my bad, you said that dropped in 2010? Yeah, 2010.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to think, because what was the album before that he dropped Graffiti Graffiti?
Speaker 1:I think it was.
Speaker 2:Graffiti.
Speaker 1:This is either right after Graffiti or this is right before Fame. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is either right after graffiti or this is right before fame. Yeah, okay, yeah, this is right. Okay, this is in that area. Yeah, that, that was a.
Speaker 1:That was a crucial time for chris yeah, it was make or break because graffiti was kind of trash and the whole rihanna situation. You know, I feel like that's why everybody thought it was trash. Oh yeah, I could see that. Not necessarily because I'm not going to lie. I didn't really listen to it. I feel, like his mind wasn't there.
Speaker 2:He had a record on there that was a little controversial, oh, okay.
Speaker 1:That's a story for another time We'll go really back in what they Want.
Speaker 1:Chris Brown and Tyga. I would definitely recommend y'all listen to that. So the 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. I don't even know what it's called. Yup, yeah, it was. Yep, yeah, I am.
Speaker 1:What do you think about that song? Or does that song, does that song, stand out to you at all In any way? It definitely marks like a certain time. There was kind of that era where everybody had that shot in school Kind of reminded me of just like what was right. I was like, yeah, I was actually funny that you talk about the chocolate. I don't know. I don't know if this is the sample, but apparently, according to the new sample app, the sample is from Get Money On my Mind.
Speaker 1:Money On my Mind is the third song off Lil Wayne's 5th album, cartoon. In this song, lil Wayne talks and rags about his high amount of love, his amazing musical skills and honestly, that's why everybody calls him the GOAT of the 2000s. Like the 2000s rap, 2000s, 2010s rap, he definitely had some punchlines and that kind of stuff. The song came out on December 6th 2005 when the album came out. I actually heard the song when I was in like seventh grade. It was one of the songs I really didn't have access to like a computer or anything like that, but like month to time.
Speaker 2:He always had like mixtapes and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:So I like those are like one of the songs I always heard like mixtapes and stuff like that, so I like that like those are like one of the songs I always heard, like money on my mind and I didn't really appreciate the song until I got older because, like, you don't really know what we're talking about except grade. But as you get older you have to start talking about. But at the same time, 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.
Speaker 1:But the thing about lil wayne is like he's kind of a kind of a yin to the yang. Like this is around the time where Lil Wayne wasn't doing like 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 autotune thing that he started doing in Carter III. This is like laid back. This is like laid back cool Lil One, which is like probably like my favorite era of Lil One, like this is around like my favorite era of Lil One.
Speaker 2:The beat was made by the Runners nasty and LVM.
Speaker 1:So, tanaka, you know, you know anything about the runners, nasty or LVM.
Speaker 2:All of them. They are electric.
Speaker 1:I know about the one, I don't think I've seen it. Yeah, I think they did so. Question Tanaka Did you know that Lil Wayne had a video for this? Yeah, you did. Yeah, to see Tanaka, and that's why we're friends. 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 know. You know how, back in the day, they just had a video that were inside a video, 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. Are you familiar with jordan tower?
Speaker 1:yeah so um, the video is basically him, him flexing around miami and it looks like I just palm tree.
Speaker 2:When I see palm trees, I think of two places LA, miami, and it definitely didn't look like.
Speaker 1:What he did, what? Yes, jordan, jordan, tell him. Oh, he did interviews.
Speaker 1:Well yeah, so, um yeah. So basically the video is is him, you know, flexing around Miami, uh with uh? It's funny, it's funny seeing uh uh with Mac May, but it's like in the background, it's like a young Curtsy and it's just always interesting seeing Curtsy. Young money Curtsy. So right, currency Right. But yeah, so you be playing that, bro? I should. I'm definitely going to start. Yeah, there's not a lot of currency songs that you can play. I need to get that song back. That was my shit. I ain't going to lie. And obviously you know Lil Wayne YMCA beat was obviously what it was.
Speaker 1: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 punch lines and stuff I definitely recommend this.
Speaker 1:That is, turn up the song. So song of the day is a song from like 2008. There's not a lot of information on this. It might be brief. This is a song by Kendrick Kendrick Lamar where he maneuvered from K-Dot to Kendrick Lamar and he had a mixtape which is really like a compilation mixtape. It really didn't. It wasn't really official. It's called Compton State of Mind. One of my favorite songs is called LMAO. It's interesting to hear this song now because Kendrick really doesn't have a lot of flex talk music, but it's interesting to hear him talk about Diamonds on my Neck and In the Club. It's a very interesting song, but it still has Kendrick vibes on it. Very interesting song. Question, tanaka have you ever heard this song called LMAO by Kendrick Lamar?
Speaker 2:Question Tanaka have you ever heard this song called LMAO by Kendrick Lamar? I don't think so.
Speaker 1:You said it was a mixtape. Mixtape song, right? Yeah, it was a mixtape called Constant State of Mind, but it was an unofficial. It was like an unofficial, so I don't know if that means that Kendrick didn't make it or if these were just a whole bunch of demo songs or just songs that that you know, I've heard of that tape but I don't think I've ever actually heard that song.
Speaker 2:I think I want to say big steve was one that was so much okay um, I want to see.
Speaker 1:Do I have any other? Uh, it was track number four, off of comfort state of mind, and it was, um, the sample on it was cream and sugar by captain sy. Captain sky, have you ever heard? Have you ever heard of that? Yeah, what's your favorite song by captain sky? Shout out the musical chef on the check-in. But yeah, no.
Speaker 1:So, um, yeah, kendrick lamar, uh, lmao, there's not a lot of yeah, like I said, there's not a lot of information on it. I tried to find, like, who the producer was and all that. I couldn't find shit on this song. But, yeah, if you're looking for some different Kendrick, like it's like real young Kendrick, but he still has like lyrical ability, like, but he's like flex talking at the same time. It's a very time for kendrick. But yeah, that's my other song of the day. Y'all go check that out. Lmao, kendrick lamar.
Speaker 1:So song of the day is a song from like 2008. There's not a lot of information on this. It might be brief. This is a song by, uh, kendrick, kendrick lamar, where, when he maneuvered from kdot to kendrick lamar and he had a mixtape which is really like a compilation mixtape, it really didn't, it wasn't really official called Compton State of Mind, one of my favorite songs called LMAO. It's interesting to hear this song now because Kendrick really doesn't talk, doesn't have a lot of flex talk music, but it's interesting to hear him talk about diamonds on my neck and in the club and it's. It's a very interesting song but it still has like kendrick vibes on it.
Speaker 2:Very interesting song question tanaka, have you ever heard this song called lmao?
Speaker 1:I don't think so. He said uh, he said it was a mixed tape, mixtape song, right, yeah, it was always off of. There's a mixtape called constant state of mind, but it was an unofficial. It was like an unofficial, so I don't know if that means that kendrick didn't make it or if these were just a whole bunch of demo songs or like just songs that.
Speaker 2:No, I've heard of that tape but I don't think I ever actually heard that song. I think I want to say big steve was one that was so much okay um, I want to see.
Speaker 1:Do I have any other? Uh, it was track number four off of constant state of mind and it was um. The sample on it was track number 4 off of Compton State of Mind. The sample on it was Cream and Sugar by Captain Sky. Have you ever heard? Have you ever heard of that? What's your favorite song by Captain Sky?
Speaker 1:Shout out to Musical Chef on the check in Kendrick lamar. Uh, lmao, there's not a lot of. Yeah, like I said, there's not a lot of information on it. I tried to find, like, who the producer was and all that. I couldn't find shit on this song. But, yeah, if you're looking for some, if you're looking for some different kendrick, like, it's like real young kendrick, but he still has like lyrical ability, like, but he's like flex talking at the same time. It's very interesting time for kendrick. But yeah, that's my other song of the day. Y'all go check that out. Lmao, kendrick lamar. So my song of the day is one of my favorite rick ross songs and it's not necessarily my favorite song from off the album, but it's one of my favorite songs. But, um, rick Ross's 16 featuring Andre 3000. Um, it came out. It came out around July 20, 2012. Obviously, because it wasn't a single. It came out when god forgives, I don't came out, um, yeah, so uh, tonaka, do you have something to say?
Speaker 2:you just let's talk about it. Yeah, I do you just, finna, have me take one of the old nominees I what if I would have said it's going down?
Speaker 1:well, technically, I did say technically I did say what was your favorite nomination Bro we talking about this class, bro.
Speaker 2:What is he? Come on man.
Speaker 1:Anyway.
Speaker 2:This man turn up, set me up. Oh yeah, I'm gonna name him something from the first class, but anyway.
Speaker 1:So yeah, so July 20th 2012 is when, uh, god forgives I don't. Hit the streets, and it was the sixth track of god forgives I don't, and what else? Oh, obviously it was under mmg and def jam to knock a quick question according to wikipedia, it was under slip and slide. Is mmg under slip and slide records? No so I don't know, is that just wikipedia just getting it wrong, or like, how?
Speaker 1:like I thought at one point rick ross was like beefing with uh slip and slide yeah, because he used to be signed to them yeah and I think you know, obviously he blew up kind of when he left, left that situation.
Speaker 1:So uh, which is actually crazy, because it's usually the opposite usually, goddamn yeah, they blow up because of the record label and then, once they leave the record which is actually crazy, because it's usually the opposite Usually, goddamn yeah, they blow up because of the record label and then, once they leave the record label then yeah, but yeah, I don't think he was signed to them.
Speaker 2:When God forgives, I don't drop.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why I was confused with. I was like wait, why is why is it? I don't know? Of course I was confused with. I was like wait, why is why is it? I don't know, of course, this is, you know, it's wikipedia. You know, wikipedia kind of, kind of wonky, but um, the song is about an artist that find a song that they really like but is confined and only being able to only give 16 bars. And this is a way wait, this is a way of rick ross and andre 2000 breaking those unwritten rules, which is actually funny because, I ain't gonna lie, it did feel like andre 2000 was just rapping and rapping and rapping and rapping and rapping, and, I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't, I wasn't opposed to him doing that, because he was telling the story with it the whole time. So, yeah, I was, um, I was okay with it, which is interesting about uh, god forgives, I don't, is that around this time I was.
Speaker 2:I think I had just well, not just, but I think I was like two months in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was like two months in, uh, just moving back from South Carolina State and I don't think I had got back into. I don't think. No, I definitely didn't get into Bros and Girls Club yet, because I was because the school year didn't start until 20, I mean until August. So I was like in between fucking partying, djing and partying, djing, and, oh my God, when I did the but Turnableables in the streets, bro. Oh my god the landscaping shit that I did, bro, that shit. Have you ever worked in landscaping Tanaka?
Speaker 1:landscaping like you talking about like cutting grass and stuff like that, bro well, that and more that shit you told me about this landscaping. That was before I started working with the boys. It was a very brief time.
Speaker 2:How long of a period were you talking about?
Speaker 1:Maybe a few weeks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is not it.
Speaker 1:We would have to wake up at 7 in the morning and it wouldn't get done until it was done. So there were times where we would be there until like 10, 11 at night.
Speaker 2:And then it turns like bro, there's got to be an easier way to make money than this. There's got to be, bro, Because this is too much work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bro but yeah, but I was. This was a interesting time for me because, like I was, yeah, I was definitely more partying than anything else, but yeah, I was definitely in the middle of partying, djing and the landscaping job, like it just, yeah, it was a lot. Life was definitely getting lit. Um, yeah, but I was definitely still like, I was still going off the hype of teflon, don and rich forever. So, like, I was definitely still a big fan of rick ross. So when he dropped god forgives, I don't I definitely listened to it as soon as he dropped it and, yeah, like I said, that's how I heard the song 16. I like the song because of the beat and the storytelling of Andre 2000. Bro, I swear to you, every time Rick Ross gets on a song with gets on a.
Speaker 1:Justice League beat. I feel like it's just instant classic. I feel like Rick Ross should come out with a whole project with just Justice League beat. I feel like it's just instant classic. I feel like Rick Ross should come out with a whole project with just Justice League.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely, because, like bro, like, I feel like it's like peanut butter and jelly. It's like, bro, you gotta, you just got to. I feel like, it's like, I feel like it just has to happen. I wonder what Justice League is doing now.
Speaker 1:What Justice League? Oh, do you feel like they don't make music anymore?
Speaker 2:No, I feel like they do. I'm just, I guess, where you know. I feel like they're in probably a different, different workspace.
Speaker 1:Yeah, probably, but I don't know, I would just. I don't know, I feel like they're just probably just on like.
Speaker 2:Are they doing like movies and TV shows?
Speaker 1:Oh, you think like that? I was just thinking they're doing like more grown artists, oh got to see.
Speaker 1:Like, yeah, I don't know, but I mean you might be right. But yeah, bro, don't know, but I mean you might be right. But yeah, bro, if you want something that has like a story, like has a story message Well, not a story message, but it has a story to it. It has a cool little vibe and, I don't know, breaks the unwritten laws of having 16 verses or 16 bars on a song. Check out 16 by Rick Ross and Andre 3000, because that joint is a vibe and that's my song of the day, probably one of my favorite segments of the episode Turn up song of the day. So we're going to take a trip back to 93. How old was I?
Speaker 2:I was two months old. Two months old.
Speaker 1:Two months old.
Speaker 1:And this was probably around my area of living, dr Dre probably just not just left, probably like two years in a death row. He dropped a song called Fuck With Dre Day which was basically telling how he felt about his former best friend Eazy-E, and I guess Eazy-D didn't appreciate that. And he had a song he came out with which is my song of the day Real motherfucking Gs. So this song is actually really interesting to me because it's like I'm not gonna lie between the two real motherfucking g's gets the cake for me. I'm not gonna lie like that beat is nuts, like just easy, easy, just going a lot harder, like it's just just everything about that song is just so intense bro, literally you hear the song.
Speaker 2:You gotta throw like.
Speaker 1:It's just like that that that song is so intense and it's like, bro, like he's coming for that work, just not get too off tangent. But the straight out of compton movie that was my only flack of that whole movie is that they didn't they didn't bring up the fuck with dre day or the uh, real motherfucking g's. I understand that dre still appreciated easy even after that or whatever they patch it up, but, bro, that was a really big deal. I feel like he still should have included that because, bro, motherfuck dre, motherfuck Snoop, motherfuck Death Row. Here comes my left boat and what's crazy about it is that he was still even with the fuck with Dre Day, like he was making money, like, still making money off of Dre like and Death Row. So that's also crazy.
Speaker 1:Everybody out there waiting the song Him Dresta. Was it Dresta? Is it Dresta or Dresta Dresta? And then, yeah, I couldn't. It was the. I don't know, you've probably never seen the video, but it's a bigger dude. I think his name is Dresda. But my favorite was BG Knockout. Well, it's the knockout definition Original baby gangster Approach me mother.
Speaker 2:That shit, that name, bro, bg knockout bg knockout and that's crazy.
Speaker 1:That's before your boy, that's way before your boy.
Speaker 1:Bg right right way before your boy. But um, this song was off of, um was off of easy ease ep. It's on 80. Uh, 187 a killer, yeah, which was literally was literally just made to just shit on dr dre. Like that ep was literally just made to just shit on Dr Dre. That EP was literally just made to just shit on Dr Dre, which makes it even more interesting.
Speaker 1:Here's my only flack with this whole thing. He talks about a lot of, I guess, what do they call it perpetrating that Dre does and uh, and all this you know, and all this stuff. So my only issue with it is if you knew that he was a perpetrator, why would you have him in your crew? Like if you knew that he really wasn't as hard as you you say? He says he was because he was talking shit as when he was still in your group, what? Why would you let him perpetrate that while he's in your group, but now that he's not in your group, now it's an issue, mm-hmm, so like I don't know like, yeah, I feel like some people just don't be up front you know what I mean like they let stuff slide and then it's like after the fact.
Speaker 2:That's when that's what you know how it always happens, like when folks have an agreement, then they bring all the all the bodies out the closet yeah, they start cleaning out the closet. Yeah, bro you know what I'm saying. Any any little qualms that they had with you? You feel me. That's what started to come out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's my only issue with that. In the video he brings out old pictures of Dre when he was in his R&B group and all that stuff. I'm like, bro, if you knew he was like that, why would you have this, this sweet dude like in your, in your camp? Like why would you do that? Right, like that, like that shows that's. That shows fakeness in your part, right I don't know, that's just me personally. But other than that, real motherfucking g's that's, that's my uh bro.
Speaker 2:That's what just makes beef so interesting period. You know what? I'm saying, when people, just you know, bring all this out, it's like just I don't know just the different angles that people trying to take you you know, take your character right interesting, yeah, beef is interesting interesting to say the least just a little backstory on this.
Speaker 1:This is, according to wikipedia visiting uh, visiting a brother's house, easy's associate was found, uh drista, and took him into the studio where easy he told, uh tells a dray, drace. Uh, dressed up, there's five, thereby forming the song concept, wrote all the lyrics for easy and dresses duet. Yet the next day, dressed up, brought the studio to his brother, knockout, who was improvising it on the spot, and added a verse. And so Eazy, leading the answer to Dre, became real motherfucking Gs Daddy. So I guess at this point everybody already knew that Eazy-E didn't write any of his stuff, right, I don't know. I mean, he knew he was a dope boy, he just he wasn't a rapper, he just had everybody like write his shit. So I just in my head, like at what point did it become like not cool for other people to start writing your stuff?
Speaker 2:That is interesting. Yeah, now that the Eazy thing you know. Yeah, now that the easy thing you know.
Speaker 1:Because even on Eazy-E like a lot of Eazy-E songs, like I forgot, I want to say it was 8-Ball where he's like Ice Cube, writes the rhymes that I say.
Speaker 2:He literally says that, like on the track yeah, I do record it, definitely record it.
Speaker 1:So like at what point did it?
Speaker 2:become like uncool for people to write your shit. Yeah, like uncool for people to write your shit? Yeah. What I'm wondering is that cause? You know how New York birthed hip hop, right, I'm wondering if that's like a coastal thing, you know, like in New York. You know that was all about like you gotta write your rhymes and you know, keep it real, and all that. And then you know if other people you know what I'm saying all that, and then you know if other people you know I'm saying switch the script up.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean and stuff like that, because yeah, but that is interesting though to bring up, especially in this day and age with the whole drake. You know drake situation when meek was coming at him. You know, right, drake, you know Drake situation when Migos coming at him you know Right, yeah, man. So I guess I don't know. Bro, some people care, some people don't.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I feel like everybody cares now. Yeah, Like you're either writing your shit or you're freestyling it. Like getting somebody else to write it is a no-no.
Speaker 2:I mean, but see Cardi B though.
Speaker 1:That is true, and city girls yeah I don't know, I guess it's. I don't know, I guess females.
Speaker 2:I guess they don't care I don't know it's, it's interesting. That is interesting it because I you know, because you know my boy, john, like he don't really care, you know I'm saying he's just like what's gonna make the best song possible. You know what I mean. As opposed to like keeping it real and like you know who, I don't know man, I really be feeling like it hit different, though. When you actually wrote your joint, bro, you know yeah, no, I mean definitely 100.
Speaker 1:No, I'm, I'm with that, I'm with that, bro, like you need to write, especially with hip-hop, because like hip-hop, you're not, like it's hip-hop, you're, you're rapping right like.
Speaker 2:It's not like.
Speaker 1:It's not like singing where, like, yeah, if you're a singer, you're like that's, that is what it is, like you can sing, if you can sing it is.
Speaker 2:But you know, see, and for some reason I you know, one song that I go back to is seeing, uh, rocco I guess the peanut gallery.
Speaker 1:I guess we born the peanut gallery, breezy. Wake the fuck up. I guess the peanut gallery. I guess we born in the peanut gallery, Breezy. Wake the fuck up.
Speaker 2:Well, maybe you shouldn't be caking on the phone the whole time right, nah, but one song that I go back to, like just thinking about folk that like really wrote their bars, was Rocco's Squares.
Speaker 1:Right Squares Out your Circle, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Bro, I seen him perform that live bro. No instrumental, it's straight acapella bro. The whole crowd was with him like bar for bar bro, and I don't know that joint just hit different bro, it do Sucks. But bar bro like, and I don't know that joint, just hit different bro, it do you know sex, but all right song of the day.
Speaker 1:So we gonna fast forward a little bit from 2013 to 2016. Um, I'm djing at rumors and I get a song request for a young doff song and at the time it was old, as a matter of fact, I think it was 2017 because I want to say this album came out. I want to say young doff's rich crack baby came out in like late 2016, right 2015 okay, my 2015.
Speaker 1:Okay, so it was 2016. Yeah, so it was 2015. Let me, let me, let me look it up just to make sure, but um, nonetheless, it was definitely 2016, um, 2016, 2017 oh no, you right bro, it was 2016, it was 2016.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see, okay, so yeah like I said, 2017 august august 2017, 2017.
Speaker 1:I'm at Rumors. This dude comes up and asks me about this song and bruh the fact that I've never heard this song before before then.
Speaker 2:Actually low key made me upset like I was like bro, how the fuck have I never heard this?
Speaker 1:song before. So song of the day won it all. Let me ask you this have you ever heard this song?
Speaker 2:before. Yeah, I don't know if I heard it bro when I I feel like it was on that project, though rich curvy because I feel like I okay it was later in it okay I don't know if I I don't know if I made it to to the end. Oh, you never finished it. Yeah, I feel like I started. I listened to a good majority, but I don't know if I made it from doff just talking his usual shit to the beat.
Speaker 1:Bruh. That song is nuts like I feel, like in any in any strip club. You could drop that song in the middle of any banger, any like banger time, like where you playing the hits yeah and it would go crazy. Like that song it gives like a a take heat, a take heath, a pre-take heath with like a with like a lex luger beat like in one like that beat is that's mean, yeah, that's nuts I'm gonna have to hear that.
Speaker 1:Uh shout out. Uh, dj squeaky. Apparently he's the one that made the beat, oh okay squeaky known for making some heaters.
Speaker 2:Oh he is. Yeah, I think he produced some stuff for gz.
Speaker 1:That's why I didn't know that yeah I didn't know that. But um, yeah this, yeah, this song, we might have to wait. Are you riding with me to uh bell I? Was about to say. But what's even funnier about the song is the video. The video of the song is it's. It's one of those bt uncut videos and what's funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's one of those bt uncut videos and um, fucking uh, I remember because I had let uh your boy, your favorite, uh ex-classmate, like I think that's what hooked him into the song was that I showed him the video with it too. He'd always come up when I'm in the car.
Speaker 2:Hey, bro, play that play that dog song, because you remember in the car.
Speaker 1:In my old car I used to have the uh videos right, right, yeah, so hey, turn on, play, play that song. She's on a cardio car bro, knowing his ass, want to see the video, but yeah, nah it's yeah, yeah, dj Kool, shout out, dj Kool. But nah if you're in, definitely, if you're definitely into into like hard Memphis trap music, this is definitely the song for you.
Speaker 2:Play it in your car, if you got some loud subs I gotta say that Go for it.
Speaker 1:Go for it. Just beat down your block. Beat down your block. This is the song to do it. But yeah, man, that's my song of the day. Young Dolph won it all Young.
Speaker 2:Dolph won it all.
Speaker 1:But move right along. Turn up. Song of the day. So my song of the day. I remember it's funny. I remember you were talking on a prior episode on the guest bar. You were talking about a song you first heard in life. It was an R Kelly song or something. My song of the day is a song, one of the first songs I remember hearing first in life. I remember hearing this song when I was like just writing with my mom as like a young child, probably like a toddler, baby kid, somewhere around that time.
Speaker 1:It's a song called the B-Side. You ever heard of the song? Who did it? By Da Brat, biggie Smalls, jermaine Dupri. I don't listen to them. So it's a song called the B-Side and I believe this was yes, no, biggie was definitely still alive. It was 94, I want to say they dropped it as a loose single. They dropped it as a loose single. And 95, they put it on the Bad Boys soundtrack. Well, if you listen to the song, as soon as the beat drop you can instantly hear what the song is sampling. But it's sampling the Outstanding song by the Gap Band. But I did a little digging on the beat side. I didn't really find anything too crazy, but what I did hear was what I did find out was it was also sampling a song called Too Hot by Kool and the Gang. I don't know, have you ever heard that song? I've never heard the song before.
Speaker 1:You have Okay. Well, yeah, apparently it's sampling that as well, and Jermaine Dupree made the beat, which is actually funny, because I didn't know jermaine dupree was a legit producer well, not legit producer, but he made beats as well. Yeah, he did know that, but now that I think about it, that is not too far off, because now recently started seeing him actually DJ too. Is he a good?
Speaker 2:DJ.
Speaker 1:I've never actually heard him DJ for real.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I just know he can scratch. Well, you know he can scratch because I remember he did. I remember watching the behind the scenes of when he produced Rock the Mic by him and Bow Wow.
Speaker 1:That's another song that I might hear on a future that's like one of my favorite Bow Wow songs Fire bro.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying. And then especially the fact that, like the samples and all that, you know the way he cut them up, but yeah, anyway, I saw him scratching and all that and that's how I knew I was going to help, probably DJ and then, I recently during the pandemic scene he would livestream and it was on some like skating rink type shit.
Speaker 2:He was like, yeah, all right, and I was a couple you know slow set and all that, oh wow. So I was like, oh wow, jd was in the ring yeah, no, he was.
Speaker 1:I want to say he was, which is actually funny. I think this is before, this is before you got into the skate world, but around the I want to say 2019 golden glide was going to go out of business and they had like a, a last night on one night. When was it.
Speaker 2:You said 2019?. It was like 2018, 2019.
Speaker 1:Somewhere around that time, and Golden Glide was about to go out of business and they had like a last night type shit and like everybody came out I don't know if Jermaine Dupri was there, but I know Usher was there and apparently they made so much money that night that they were able to keep going or some shot.
Speaker 2:But yeah, but um, so yeah, so um, I forgot what I was going with that, but um, oh, because I said jd yeah, so um, yeah, so but I was.
Speaker 1:I was connecting that somehow. I don't know what the fuck I was connecting that for.
Speaker 2:But yeah.
Speaker 1:Anyway, jermaine Dupri, yeah, he made the beat and, according to I was watching this interview about Da Brat she was explaining, like, how big he was as a person. So she was just like like cool dude, of course, of all face value, big dude, real intimidating. But when you get to know him he's just a real big teddy bear, cool person, always just trying to figure out, like always trying to find a solution to every problem. Uh-oh, what happened? What happened? Oh, my god, shut up, shut the fuck. You know it's funny.
Speaker 1:I didn't think about it till now. Come on, man, anyway, but anyway, um, real big anyway. The brat was like he's real cool dude. He's always trying to find a solution to every problem, like I mean, but if he, I mean if you wouldn't fuck shit, he's with the fuck shit too, but yeah, but um, yeah, shout out to brat, if you, uh, oh, so I do remember why I brought it up. So, uh, I remember when I first got into the skate world, there were a couple songs that I was trying to bring to the skate world as well, and I remember hearing that song when I was younger. So I was like I wonder if I could bring the B-side to the skate world and of course I played it and it got a good reaction and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:So uh, you be having them gems, bro. You play BVSMP, bro, that's British bro.
Speaker 1:That was bro. I will give the roses whenever I can. I don't know who the DJ was. For some reason I want to say it was Master Toby, but I feel like I'm wrong. But it was at Cascade. I heard it and they played it and I was like I've've never heard this song. But I saw the reaction it got and I was like, note, it gotta get it. So yeah, um, but yeah. But you know, what I think got me about that song is that it has that bounce to it. If you ever hear the song, if you ever check it out, it has that. It has the same bounce as that Outstanding, it has that do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
Speaker 2:Does that get folks hyped?
Speaker 1:Or is it It'll get the old folks hyped? Well, no, It'll get some of the young folks hyped too, Because it just has that I'll stand in Like they'll start singing along and stuff like that, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Because I just feel like the record is kind of chill. You know what I'm saying Really. Yeah, which is funny. You said that.
Speaker 1:That's why it's like that shout out dj 20. It was a smyrna I did and he had played it in my head. I wasn't going to tell him not to play anything, but I was like I don't know about that one because I was thinking that too, and then he played it, and like everybody's, because you know, when you hear that, it's like okay you finna get down.
Speaker 2:But yeah, you blow my mind and I was.
Speaker 1:I was like okay and then they like I said he played it and it was like whoa Like okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's funny how, like certain records Cause I don't know, I be trying to organize Crates and stuff. You know what I'm saying, as in, like hype stuff.
Speaker 1:Chill stuff, yeah like.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying, cause I feel like, you know, that's something that I'm always trying To like work on. I just be feeling like Sometimes the energy gotta stay consistent, you know, and that's a whole different thing than just matching the BPMs, right? So, yeah, I feel that.
Speaker 1:But yeah, man, if y'all wanna hear some, you know, little old school, little old school mixed with some new school or at the time, check out, check out the B-side. It's definitely, definitely a little bop. It'll definitely get you bouncing and all that stuff, but uh, yeah, that was my song of the day. Okay, so the my song of the day. So what I do is I pick songs that are like like my favorite songs of like all time, like I can just play it forever.
Speaker 2:You still don't have that same feeling that you heard when you heard the first time.
Speaker 1:First time. So, as of right now, my song of the day is Drum roll, please. The day is drum roll, please. Okay, so this song is interesting to me because it's actually a freestyle, it's actually a freestyle and, um, I actually prefer this version rather the freestyle, I mean, rather than the regular song version, rather the freestyle, I mean, rather than the regular song, which is even funnier because we were just talking about this person, which is drake. No, the regular song is drake but the song is is the headline freestyle by roscoe dash.
Speaker 1:That like bro, like that's that freestyle. I was like. I was like, wow, you might actually have a chance you know what's crazy, bro.
Speaker 2:So I haven't heard this, I haven't heard this freestyle, but I'm interested because that's one of my least favorite drake records.
Speaker 1:That's, that's funny, that's actually pretty funny. But yeah, no, that bro, this song right here, like he did, but like I don't know, I think I'm, I think I'm, I think I'm a sucker for like, for like chords, because you know, I was a man and like he made chords, that drake didn't even make like in in the. They know, they know they know. He added the they know, they know, they know. I was like wow, that's different.
Speaker 2:And that joint.
Speaker 1:And no, he still had the. They know, they know, they know. And he had it like stacked up on top of each other. So it's funny Like even when I hear the regular headlines, I'm still catching myself.
Speaker 2:They know they catching myself. They know. They know, they know, bro, salute to roscoe dash too. He I think folks be under, you know kind of underrating him, but he really had like a little oh yeah, a little run of features.
Speaker 1:You know I'm saying that like yeah, you know bro do you know, versus bro rich homie quan versus roscoe dash bro bro.
Speaker 2:The Battle of the Eras bro.
Speaker 1:That is some shit.
Speaker 2:We might drop that, we might, just so somebody can hear that.
Speaker 1:That's crazy bro.
Speaker 2:Roscoe versus Rich Homie Kwan. That would make sense, bro, for sure, yeah, man.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, man, that's my song of the day. Um, I gotta check that out.
Speaker 2:I gotta hear it because I now, now that you said it, I'm like damn he might have. He might have ripped the record better than track. Did you know?
Speaker 1:which is actually funny, because, I don't know, maybe he really fucked with this freestyle, but he actually made a video for it too. Oh word, yeah, like I was on a mixtape I don't know oh okay, that's when I was real big into um, I used to use this website called hip-hop early a lot like so because they would drop music every day for free and I would just check.
Speaker 1:I would just check it every day and that was one of the records and I was like, wow, this is going on my ipod damn did they let me that website?
Speaker 2:did it say like, like hot, like it's a dope record or like, yeah, it actually did?
Speaker 1:so okay. So so on hip-hop, early it would be, it would be a date at the top right and then it would be all the the, the fire, like all. It would be like two sets of records it'd be the records with three flames and it'd be a record with one flame and at the top.
Speaker 1:It'd be like maybe like four or five, maybe six songs that I have four flames gotcha, and then everything else would have one flame. I mean, and I would check, I would still check the one flame ones right to make sure, but I would check, you know but for the most part I would really check artists that I know that I was like okay, I rock with this artist. Let me just check it out.
Speaker 2:And that's what I'm saying. It's crazy that you say that, because the website I went to was the exact same way. You know what I'm saying, except this one had a date and the records. But it would say like if it was red and it would be like red lettering, it would say like hot, like to say like that was like some real fashion.
Speaker 2:And then the other one would be like green and that would just be, like you know it's straight, and then the other one wouldn't even have like a color coding to it. You know what I'm saying, right? So I was just that's just crazy, because that's really how blog sites and all that that was dropping music and sharing music that's really how they used to.
Speaker 1:They had a whole rating system as far as to how people would.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that makes me think who rated those? You know what I'm saying, Because they would slick some A&Rs. Right you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Facts, because that's how I found out about a lot of early records Was through that Through that.
Speaker 2:Through that website Shout out to Chris Brown.
Speaker 1:Look at me now. That was one of the songs that I found from off that website. That's crazy, but yeah, I'm going to definitely let you hear that song Off air. That's going to be my song of the day. That's my song of the day. I'm going to fill it up, thank you.
