There's something electrifying about a good debate, especially when it's between old pals like Luis Lopez and me, Texas Terry. Strap in as we dissect the contentious Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake saga, and explore the heavy implications of words thrown in the heat of the moment. Our discussion doesn't shy away from the tough issues, touching on race, culture, and the responsibility we carry when we put our words out into the world. And yes, we even get into how recent public spats in the hip-hop community echo themes in shows like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

Nostalgia hits hard when I recount a proud dad moment—sharing an appreciation for MF DOOM with my teenage son June. It's not just about music; it's about the threads that connect us across generations and the values we pass down. We also swing back to the time Tupac Shakur's words felt like a lifeline, proving music isn't just a backdrop to our lives, but sometimes the very thing that shapes and saves us. As we peel back the layers of youth, music, and the indelible marks they leave, it's clear that every beat, every lyric, can alter the course of a life.

And let's not forget the lighter side of life, like my personal quip on the quest for the perfect lawn—oh, the trials of suburbia! Luis chimes in, sharing his own insights on aging gracefully and finding joy in the moment. Throughout, we wrap ourselves in the warm blanket of human experience, from the scars of scarcity to the rich tapestry of everyday life. So, pull up a chair and let's celebrate the simplicity, the struggles, and the sweet, sweet sounds of this journey we're all on. Thanks for tuning in, and keep those connections close—they're the real soul food.

And yes, we even get into how recent public spats in the hip-hop community echo themes in shows like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

Nostalgia hits hard when I recount a proud dad moment—sharing an appreciation for MF DOOM with my teenage son June. It's not just about music; it's about the threads that connect us across generations and the values we pass down. We also swing back to the time Tupac Shakur's words felt like a lifeline, proving music isn't just a backdrop to our lives, but sometimes the very thing that shapes and saves us.

Speaker 1:

well, since you already heard me clear my throat, welcome to special op radio. I'm your host, texas terry. Uh, you can feel free to hit me up with any special comments, complaints or otherwise at Special App Radio at Outlookcom. Catch me on X, formerly known as Twitter. Catch me on X at Special App Radio. Go, fucking figure, without further ado, we're going to keep moving and by way honestly, by pure demand, my homeboy, your friend Luis Lopez, let's bring him into the show. What's good, dude? What's up?

Speaker 2:

What up, Terry? Hello world, what's good.

Speaker 1:

Yo, I'll tell you what, man, I mean what's good, what ain't good. There's a lot that could be dissected as far as that is concerned. I wanted to ask something. This is kind of like a little cliche, but it is on the top of heads of Most people's minds when are you? Because if I'm going to bring you into my show, I need to know, man, where you at right now. Are you team Kendrick or are you team Drake?

Speaker 2:

100% K-Dot for sure, kendrick 100%.

Speaker 1:

I support realness. Are we allowed to speak on that Cause? You yourself Hispanic. I'm a white boy, you know. I mean, are we we're educated enough to speak on the ins and outs of hip hop and all those types of things?

Speaker 2:

100%, bro, even like, even if you look back at past, like Wild style bro, like dc boys were a part of that bro, you know what I'm saying? Hispanic I I don't necessarily think it's a culture for one race. I think it's a mix of everything put together. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1:

let let me ask you this and this is you know, because that's you know, that is one set, because there are so many variables. Let me ask you this so if you, you and I, we're in an argument right, we're beefing whatever, we're talking about each other, each other's mothers, fathers, whatever, whatever the case may be if I just take off, call you pedophile, I mean, what's the natural reaction to that?

Speaker 2:

that's like abort mission. Basically it's like pull the cord. That's really. That's where it's at, man you. That's what he points out and this is. This is the thing that I feel like the culture is doing. It's like it goes back to like grooming and stuff. Like it's like flash photography. They just they'll just put these images in there and they make you think it's fine, cause you see it over and over again and it's all right. But deep down inside, if we really sit down and think, k-dot brought out the most obvious and it's actually causing a ripple effect in that in hip hop, in the hip hop culture, right?

Speaker 1:

well, fuck, but fuck the hip hop culture. What I'm saying is if, as a man me and you, you and I we're in a beef and we're talking shit to one another and I just haul off, call you a kid rapist. I mean, what do you do at that point?

Speaker 2:

we fighting after those words, dog? I mean that's. Do you do at that point? We we fighting after those words, dog?

Speaker 1:

I mean that's the kind of shit. That's the kind of you say that shit to another motherfucker and you better back up as you do and raise your hands. You know? I mean, there's certain words and I think the general public doesn't understand, even maybe even Kendrick Lamar, or fucking Drake really well, maybe kendrick, but definitely I don't know. I really don't want to speculate one way or the other. As to the other personals, you know like what, what they're involved with or what they they've experienced, but I tell you what, and you know just as well as I do, man, you call somebody a bitch or you call somebody a fucking pedophile or something like that in certain environments.

Speaker 2:

That's straight up, you have to fight yeah, lace up straight up, yeah, yeah, I agree with you 100 on that, especially on just the different things, that different situations that I've been in. Do you know? It's worded bond and basically, if you want to get respect, you gotta show respect. Show respect, that's a big thing and that doesn't matter whichever atmosphere you're in. You know what I'm saying. That's just out of respect, really, but that, for real, that's calling the kettle black. Really. You know what I'm saying. If he's not saying anything, to come back and down, look what happened when Cat Williamsiams you right, when he was talking about ludacris. What happened? Ludacris came out on instagram and spit like a 16 bar verse, trying to take shots, saying that he wasn't, but like, isn't that kind of hey you know what.

Speaker 1:

You know what's crazy about that? I forget what I I was watching earlier. Like I've said before on this post or pod and in previous, I like to roll through the shorts on YouTube. I like to just kind of scroll through it. I mean they're quick and it's entertaining most of them. You know what I mean. But I was rolling through one earlier and I forget which sitcom it was.

Speaker 1:

But there was a sitcom that, uh, they basically depicted, uh, it may even have been keenan peel or kit, whatever, that k and peel, whatever there. But um, so, long story short, they basically were like, uh, it was this exact fucking like, uh perpetration, like the one dude, oh, it was uh always sunny in Philadelphia. And so Danny DeVito bus in the room, yeah, danny DeVito bus in the room, and he's like nah, we got to tell him like, we're not into kids, we're not into kids. And that's kind of how I felt when Drake like I, when Drake like I mean like if you, if you pop off at me, I mean you can say anything, you want to call me anything, you want to do whatever, whatever you know, I mean not obviously do whatever you want.

Speaker 1:

But you know, I'm saying just get you know, spell my name right, type of shit. You know what I mean. But yeah, there's. I'm getting older, I'm getting more mature and I'm getting more like. You know. There's a lot of things these days that you know would have like pushed certain issues further than they need to go, but they're not like that anymore. But I mean, this dude called you a straight up pedophile. Yo, you know what I mean. There there's no bars for that.

Speaker 2:

You don't have bars for that there's only one word for that fool right now, after what he said for Drake it's called registration, dog register yourself. Because what did he put out in that album? Right, like, right over, you know how that you know if you're a sex offender, you know you get registered and then you can see where you're at. You know you got like GPS on you for the rest of your life. That's what basically drake is on right now, like and the world is agreeing with it and I'm pretty sure it is because it's all over like there's receipts you know what I mean like there's mad receipts, like you can see him doing it like nonchalantly, so thing is you think that bullshit, with him he trying to say, or somebody trying to say that they um like put out uh, false intel, basically, and that he kissed that 17 year old girl on the stage just to basically set up kendrick.

Speaker 1:

But where are you? I mean because you got the whole. I don't even know who millie bobby brown or whoever the fuck, I don't even know who that is. I know there's a hell of a lot of pictures that are showing him and her together when she's at a very young age and it doesn't look like, uh, you know, innocent.

Speaker 1:

I mean she's, yeah, she's that girl from stranger things, um, but I think when she's, I think she was what 11 years old around there, around, yeah, that if that's true, then I think there was the one chick I forget what her name is, she's fairly popular uh, one of them, but she was one of them bitches that was involved in the uh, it was like a sex clique, like so if she were to be involved with the stranger things crowd and those people are indeed guilty of what they've been accused of. I think the one did get like county or I mean like probation or something, but which is kind of big for somebody with big money, you know, in the spotlight, but that's sick, sick world.

Speaker 2:

Who knows how many love trials came out of that dude doing what he was doing. You know what I'm saying? Because that was probably receipts, because k-dot even mentioned about another, another kid, right after pusha t came out with adonis, or when they right with the with his diss, right, and then everybody was like, oh damn, and it was with a porn actress, right, I think, who he had a kid with. But I'm telling you, bro, this, this is wrong man. I'm telling you we're starting to see the culture is not what it is and not what we want it to be.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying and you know what, just so people know, because shout out to Kenneth lamar because he removed some of the uh yeah, copyright shits. So I just want people to know what we're talking about here. My homie, uh, the dude went off.

Speaker 3:

Just take a listen mama, how many ops you really got. I mean, it's too options. I'm finna. Pass on this body. I'm John Stockton. Beat your ass and hot the Bible if God watch you. Sometimes you gotta pop out and show niggas. Certified boogie man. I'm the one that up to score with him, walk him down whole time. I know he got some hoe in him. Pole on him, extort shit, bully the flow on him. Say, drake, I hear you like I'm young, hold up, yeah, yeah, tell me my dude, ain't you tired?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, tell me, my dude didn't snap off right there. Yep, a minor.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

They not like us.

Speaker 2:

That was the note for sure dude, when she was playing, maybe, like it went from being minor to be major bro, like big time this was.

Speaker 1:

This was my dude snap y'all. Let me ask you something, because I know, just like me, you're like a lyrical dude, you're into lyrics and uh, I mean that's always something I remember. There's always been a punch line of jay the kisses that has kind of just kind of stuck with me as a writer and just as a fan of hip-hop in general. But jay the kiss said we don't use raps for help we help the beats or we don't.

Speaker 1:

We we don't use beats for help, we help the beat, some shit like that. But it was good fucking punchline and it understood, because new york rap, texas rap, atlanta rap, california rap, all these types of different styles of hip hop, they're, all you know, ever changing and the lyrics are different, and what's important, what's not important I mean, where's Kendrick Lamar right now? As far as you're concerned as a, let me just and if you'll expand on this, I'd certainly appreciate that, sir, but for those of you who don't know, luis is a super fan of Wu-Tang and boom bap rap and I just want to see, because a lot of the people that he follows are also very lyrical or lyricists I mean, where's Kendrick at bro?

Speaker 2:

So that's the industry, so it's mainstream. But I would say he's top tier In mainstream With lyrical ability. Lyricism Because that's what I feel like St Voss.

Speaker 1:

Really when you say mainstream, though Let me ask you this how many people do you think even knew who Kendrick Lamar was Before all this shit right here? How many Drake fans Just found out that Kendrick Lamar Is a rap artist? Did I lose you? Nah, I still hear you. Ladies and gentlemen, we're having a brief, uh technical difficulty with, but uh with, louise. That's all good, man, we're gonna do this shit on the fly anyway. Look, he come back. It's all good. We're just discussing whether or not kendrick lamar is a better rapper than drake is, and I think the answer is actually fairly uh certain that that kendrick lamar is indeed, but we're gonna hear what uh louise has to say after that technical difficulty. Sir, you were saying yes yes, so I, I do.

Speaker 2:

There's probably everybody in the world right now that watches tv or watches music or listens to the radio. Those are the two names that you're gonna hear it right off the bat, right, it's like, it's like mcdonald's, it's a home brand right now, right. But boom bap to lyricism, he's top tier. I like the lyrics, I like the content, drake or party, you know what I'm saying. Like it's just I don't know. To me it's just irresponsible rap. Really, you, you know what I mean Just with the word, because to me it's all about message. You know it's all about boom bap. To me, boom bap to define boom bap it's kind of like the boom would be the kick and the bap would be the snare. So it was like the classical drum break. So that was like Sugar Hills, the gang. You know stuff like that, you know.

Speaker 1:

But the gang, you know stuff like that, you know um, but that's the how you because you're. Let me ask you this, because you're from el paso right, el paso, texas.

Speaker 1:

So how does one from el paso, texas even come into the path of of anything related to east coast rap? Because the reason why I asked that is somebody coming from the east coast moving to the I don't know if you necessarily consider Texas, the South, but uh, I mean moving to this area. There's obviously like an apparent there is a difference. You know what I mean. So again, uh, somebody coming from El Paso. How do you, how do you cross paths with the Wu Tang?

Speaker 2:

clan Wu.

Speaker 1:

Okay, Well well.

Speaker 2:

So growing up as a child I met my best friend, a good friend of mine. He's a tattoo artist out there in San Antonio, but we grew up doing graffiti, so we were doing graffiti, so we were doing graffiti, and once I got into that sorts of friends then all the people that they hung out with that I kind of pretty pretty much started chilling with, were break dancers, djs you know what I mean MCs, and so I got into that like that sub world I always say like underground. So to me it was like a sub world like we. That sub-world I always say like underground. So to me it was like a sub-world, like we were subterraneous. You know, we were just living underneath. You know what I mean, just like kind of underneath the radar from mainstream, which is what we talk about, which is like radio stuff. You know what I mean, like what the whole consensus will listen to, right, but so, yeah, no. So there it was mixtape to Wu-Tang, but you know what Don't get me wrong though Even before then being in the middle right of the US.

Speaker 2:

So the other side, my cousins you know that I used to hang out with. Well, they were listening to Dre, pac, snoop, you know, mac Dre, you know there were. There was a lot of West Coast stuff, you know, but I just kind of swayed more with the East because I liked the beach more. That was. That was the whole thing about it. You know, don't get me wrong, I love the whole West Coast town, you know, with the fence and all that. You know what I mean, that ghetto funk flavor, I love it.

Speaker 2:

But my soul was just a little different and I kind of figured me, being from El Paso, like one of my first cassettes that I bought, man, when I was a child, was the Farsight and the Farsight. I bought the cassette man, the Bizarre Ride to the Farsight, that first one right with the well, you keep on passing me by and all that right and with the drop and all that right. And I didn't know at that time until years later, that the Farsight was. They were from Dallas, texas. So I was like, and when you think about Texas rap, you know that doesn't really come to mind, right? So then I started listening.

Speaker 2:

Not even close that shit just blew my mind for a while, like what, all right, exactly, dude, just in my mind, I just like started thinking like, well, the music, hip-hop, doesn't have an area code. You know what I'm saying. So I listen to underground people from Georgia, from Atlanta, when you would hear like you know what I mean from Southern music, and it didn't sound like that. So then I started thinking, well, I listen to the people that are going to be 100% themselves. That's what they shoot, that's the product. You know what I'm saying. That's why you know even Dre has a solid. You know he's solid in the West Coast and that White Nog is solid in the East. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

And the Wu-Tangang. Actually, if I could, I want to be like one of these youngsters and do the pause thing because that shit's garbage.

Speaker 1:

But I do want to ask you this while you're on that thought, before I forget mine because, you know I entertained myself slightly prior to this production and I just want to make sure that I won't miss it. But anyway, you know what I want to ask you about that is, I fucking barely almost forgot already. Do you honestly think this day and age, that real does recognize real, in that when you look at a B, for instance, like the Kendrick Lamar and I don't mean to be cliche for this particular time period but when you look at this beef right now, you know what I mean. You got All right Someone who's a potential pedophile period. But when you look at this beef right now, you know what I mean. You got all right, someone who's a potential pedophile.

Speaker 1:

Another dude comes from. I really don't know a whole lot about kendrick lamar. I know he dropped some beats or some music and you know, I like, I like I was listening to him before this, but I wasn't listening like religiously. But let me ask you this, uh, to shorten all that and make it even longer when you fucking hear or see youth today cause you're your age now, but you exactly know what it feels like to be them Then I mean I mean, do these motherfuckers even understand what real person is even anymore, or is it just about? As long as it's popular, we're going to ride with it that's going to be a negative right there for sure.

Speaker 2:

So what the difference is like with Kendrick, we're going to say all that about real fake, about it's about substance, right, so not anymore. They're starting to see straight Gary, without the R. You know what I'm saying. That's the world they're living in right now. It's like there's, I think everybody is more reflects upon the image, really more you know what I'm saying? That like the facade, the outside, that actually was on the inside, and but real, recognize real. That's why you have like the old boom bap heads, like the old heads, and then the young people be like oh, you guys are too old, you that, get over it, that's already passed, we're in the new. And then we're like you guys have lost tradition, you guys have lost the way, you guys lost direction and you don't know what you, you, you, you're not bringing the substance and the content with the music, you're just giving them something like that, but that's what I mean though.

Speaker 1:

That's what I mean. Though. Do you think people even listen to? I mean, how many people? Just, for instance, not to rehash or rewind too too far back, but like when I crossed, when I walked past, he's working on the rooftop unit, or whatever. You listening to wu-tang clan? That was so far out of the fucking scope of my reality because I hadn't heard it since I left new york, which was probably 10 years prior. I mean, how many people really are out there right now listening to lyrics? Are they even important, or is it the? I mean, well, everybody's paying attention to the not like us lyrics, but other than that, are they really really paying attention?

Speaker 2:

uh, probably a small percentage. You know what I mean. That's why. That's why they're getting away with what they're getting away with right now. You know what mean. So there's a very few of us that I've kind of like we've been the resistance, We've been the tradition. The music makers like Willy Wonka would say right, I love that part from Willy, right there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I dig that.

Speaker 2:

But you know, and I can't really say too much Like okay, so I do agree with that. But let me tell you a little story real quick. So there's a story about my son. Uh, his name is June Um, he's 17 years old. Fucking big bastard. He's like six, four, Shit Um. But I asked him one day.

Speaker 2:

You know he stays with his mom at full custody. She stays in El Paso, texas. I live four hours up north. I'm in Albuquerque, right, they come with me for the weekend, they come for me for the summer holidays, stuff like that.

Speaker 2:

They got a little older. You know they don't go to school out here, so you know it was limited. Once they were getting older, you know they wouldn't come as much, right, but every time I'd be in town I'd go hit them up, take them out. But one time they were here and my son, I think he was 16. It was like about a year ago. He was 16 at the time and I asked him I'm like same question right now. I was like who do you like? Who's your favorite artist right now? Like who do you listen to on the radio or musically, like who's your favorite artist? 16 years old now. This is now like last year, 2023, 17, 16. He told me I like ms doom and I was like what he's like? Yeah, mf doom and a lot of people don't are not going to know the name, but he's a really underground cat.

Speaker 1:

For real, for real, for real. I never heard that name until I came into Texas.

Speaker 2:

Dude, and he's one of my favorites. So then, like talking to the mom, and then like me not even asking that question, because you know I'm thinking like, oh, I thought he was going to say Drake or something or whatever. You know what I'm saying. Anything new school or what do you call it? Trap rap or whatever it is what they're running with, or mumble rap.

Speaker 1:

I could name it, I could make educated guesses, but only because it pops up on random feeds. I don't know who the fuck but that's the thing though.

Speaker 2:

Like a young man is like a reincarnated old soul, so like it just tells me that there's faith in the future. You know what I'm saying and don't get me wrong. That was like a proud dad moment for me right there, because that name drop, I was like damn, like I gave him a high five dog and I was like damn, put it here, son. So like it just threw me for a loop, you know, because honestly, bro, I wouldn't know exactly, like I I've never asked.

Speaker 1:

I mean I try to. I'm in kind of a weird spot and I don't want to chase a squirrel, but bear with me for one second. Here is like I don't. My kids have been with their mom for the extent of their lives. Well, hell them the entirety of it. You know what I mean. I see him. When I see him, you know the laws are what they are and it is what it is. You know I mean my boys know I love them and there is that. So shout out to derrick and x love y'all both. Um, be safe, stay strong. No, but you know I mean.

Speaker 1:

The reason why I say you know what I mean is because, like if they were, I don't know if I walked in my kid's room, because back in the day I used to listen to like tupac a lot. I don't listen to pock anymore, not that I don't respect him or appreciate him, or it's because it it, pock, saved my life. You know I mean, yeah, pock saved my life with the, with his ability to fucking coach you, and that's what I hope someday to be able to do through this microphone is to fucking help another. I mean, if that sounds any kind of way like uh, uh narcissistic or I'm sorry, but it is what it is I mean, tupac changed my life and he taught me some things that I wasn't being taught anyplace else but via through his music, and that's the. That's the beauty of music and the fun of it, regardless of culture, whether it be country, hip-hop, r&b, whatever the fuck. That's the beauty of music is that you get to enjoy it regardless of whatever your race, creed, color, religion is.

Speaker 1:

And you know, I think that's why you and I have both. Uh, because we share a similar soul in that. You know, we appreciate that. You know what I mean. But all that to say, if I walked in my kid's room, I wouldn't even know what that'd be like. You know I'm saying, but if I walked in my son's room and he was just fucking wearing a bandana and listening to tupac, I'd be worried, just like my parents should have been back in the day, because I was wildin' yo, you know what I mean. It's cool to have similar, you know. But I'm like, hey, can we just enjoy jazz together, because you get Pac on, we're gonna get. You know, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

You see what I'm saying though.

Speaker 2:

It gets heavy. Yeah, the air gets heavy, for sure, man, and you know what man? Like just emotion and just like the content was like like there was too much, like it was just saturated with like emotion and feeling, and like, for real, though it's like it could get crunched, it could get crazy, it could get dangerous, but they could be fun. That truth, true dude right there, honestly, to be true to himself, remember what I was saying. That's like I want people, I want you people, to be themselves. Right, that's what I want to hear. Content, it's about connecting, right, let me.

Speaker 1:

It's about let me ask you this you ever, uh, was there any song back in your day? I'm not accusing you or uh, even presuming that you may or may not have done anything on the other side of the law ever, but I'm just asking was there any particular song that got you all crunk from back in the day? That was like yo it's game time and um, any track off the chronic?

Speaker 2:

for sure it was crazy. No, for sure. No, I can tell you those were my days. You know, like my days it's been rough, don't get me wrong, it's been. It's been rough. I loved it. I wouldn't change a single thing what I went through, because I had to learn and go through these experiences to be who I am. And you know what's cool, I'm 45 years old, bro, and like I'm, like I live my life as a bro.

Speaker 1:

Can I just I just again I'll pause, let me. No, I don't mean to be like that, but can I just say something? Because you just said that you're 45, which I'm I'm fixing to. I haven't done it yet, I'm fixing to call bullshit a little bit, but, if you know, but then again so, because I'm fixing to be 43 here in about I don't know, like two weeks, so at the end of the month, yeah, but that's right 29.

Speaker 1:

So when the chronic came out, I vividly remember being at a hotel, being like 10, wearing a fucking flannel because I thought I was snoop dogg and going on the going from the hotel, from buffalo new york, to chicago. Now the reason why. So that's what I was doing when I was like 10. What the fuck were you doing that? You were listening to the chronic. That was getting you drunk, bro bro don't hey, plead the fifth if you got something you know I won't, I won't take that.

Speaker 2:

But that's probably the time when I first started smoking bud and with my cousin, and it was like out of a foil pipe, remember them days. That was the first time. Like that was all with on with a. Can you know what I'm saying? Like that was I was 12 years old, so I was like hotel parties. I just I would tag along you know what I'm saying with my cousin, since he used to be into gangs, the gang world and stuff, and I was just young, I just wanted to be me, but I would chill with him and he'd take me wherever. But those were the product days, bro. It was like there was a lot of. It was a lot of parties. You know what, though.

Speaker 1:

It's kind of fucked up when you really think about it, when you reflect on your life and you get to the whatever age that we're in, like male menopause. What do we call male menopause? What is that shit Like you're having?

Speaker 1:

a midlife crisis. So you're having a midlife crisis, right, but when we really reflect, no, hold on, but you really reflect on your life and there's always some fucking uncle. There's always some fucked up uncle. Hey, no, but this is why the, the children, need to understand that every single fucking decision that you make this is why adults need to understand that every decision and and and and portrayal of yourself that you put out there in front of a child, they're going to fucking either check it off as good or bad, and you can't control which one they decide.

Speaker 2:

It's always the uncle, the one that always got into something at that barbecue, the one that wore the Jesus sandals.

Speaker 1:

And touch you where your bathing suit goes. No, not that one. That's my bad. What? What the fuck? I didn't hear you. What the fuck Yo AI bro?

Speaker 2:

I was talking about. You know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm saying. He would be at the red light sitting there with a rolling paper and some bud in that paper and he was like he would tell me you want to watch me roll this joint with one hand before the light turned green?

Speaker 1:

Why did he keep asking me if I wanted a churro bro? I don't know, no, entiendo.

Speaker 2:

What happened who?

Speaker 1:

Who was about? To?

Speaker 2:

shoot. What are you talking about?

Speaker 1:

Never mind, go ahead, carry on my bad, that's my bad. Are you tripping yeah?

Speaker 2:

You got it. We're going to cut to commercial. So this segment is sponsored by Mike Tyson Bites. Go out there and go get these. Go at your local dispensaries, um, because it's about time that the ear bites back. All right, back to the show. All right, so.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, this hip-hop, love, lyricism, you know, all of that's what we do hey, so when you because I know you write, but you also produce beats and I know you've been doing that a while and cultivating that Is there a preference Between Producing beats as opposed to Writing lyrics to the beats? Or I mean, how's that? What's more, what appealed to you about making beats?

Speaker 2:

So, ah, man that. So the feeling, man, that I get every time I would listen to, like if I listen to a classic right now, man, that just it makes my heart beat up. You know what I mean. Like, I just feel it. It's a frequency, it's just an energy that comes out Like it's like a heartbeat, right?

Speaker 2:

So to me, I used to write a lot of poetry too, and I always had a way with words as well. You know what I mean. So the music I used to love how the beat used to flow, because to me it's kind of like what you were saying about Jada, right, he was like so not thinking that how important the beat is, versus, like the lyrical content, and I think they both have to kind of mesh well, real well together. They have to be on the same level in order for it to be like memorable. You know what I'm saying. Like that's why you'll, you know, 25 years from now, 30 years from now, from stuff that came out from the late 70s, early 80s, like it still rings in our head, you know it was just good music, good vibes, so beats just kind of just, I always thought about I was like well, I used to hit up people like, hey, man, well, let me buy some beats, let me do this.

Speaker 2:

I was going through that time frame where I was like, all right, let me see if I can make a song or do something with it. And I just started not liking anybody's shit, like maybe I'm just really too picky or whatever. But I just felt like I just, if I'm not feeling the beat, I don't think I'm going to get my message across the way I want to. So I said, fuck it. I started buying records, I started buying samples, I bought me a record player. I got me a Newmark TT USB, built a tower. I bought my hardware. I work off machine MK2, got an Akai MPK MIDI as my just a MIDI. And then, you know, know, I bought a bluebird microphone. I got a focused right interface. You know what I mean. So I started listening to music records and buying used records dollar records, two dollars, whatever. Uh, it got a little bit more expensive because back in the day it was a lot cheaper. Now vinyl has surpassed, like cds or any other value of music, a form of concrete music that you can hold.

Speaker 1:

You know so well, yeah, I just started listening to the samples, man and I started making some music how do you piece all that like when you come, when you bring all that equipment into the studio? I mean, where do you get the knowledge to learn how to do that? It's all self-taught.

Speaker 2:

So so when I wanted to do music and probably because I was able enough to afford it right and I used to I asked people that I love to listen to on social media. I reached out to them. They were producers, like I remember one one cat his name was a audible doctor. On social media. I reached out to them. They were producers. I remember one cat, his name was Audible Doctor. He's from the Brown Bag All-Stars. They're from New York. They're underground hip-hop that I love, and I asked him a question like hey, man, what do you think would be the best hardware for a beginner to purchase to learn how to make and produce speed? And he told me machine. He thought it's very user-friendly and you can run with it. So that's what I did. Next paycheck I went and about 400 bought me this machine, mk2. This was like in 2017, something like that. Yeah, 2017, 2018. And then I had to figure out the computer because I was like I needed the gigs, you know, I needed the memory and yeah, and then I started did you know?

Speaker 1:

did you know about all those types of terms and everything? Where I'm really trying to go with this is, if you wouldn't mind, uh, kind of walking through. I mean, how does one, if I'm a kid, I'm at the crib or I'm just whoever sitting at the crib and I want to be a producer man? Not only the equipment, you know, I'm saying, but just starting out, what am I looking for? What am I doing? What's my preference? You know how, what's the most economical way?

Speaker 2:

you know that if, if, if you know you don't mind yeah, honestly, it's a laptop, anything that can at least over, like, uh, like, eight gigs of ram. You know what I mean. After that, that's just your processing speed, just so you can run the program, because you're you're opening so many files at one time, you know, um, and that's pretty much it, and some headphones, you know what I mean, like, and then, because there's a lot of programs that are free, like even on your apple phone, there's garage bound and that's for free, and that's the music reproducing that. You know what I'm saying. Um, there's other other deals that you can look up, like fl studio or whatever, um or whatever digital audio or station. But honestly, bro, it depends what style you're in. You need the laptop to run the hardware and you need to find out your content either from records or you're going to get it online. You can get it off of YouTube too, bro, like you know.

Speaker 1:

It's my bad a little bit. I'm still new at like trying to interview people and shit. I took you off corner a little bit. I was trying to interview people and shit. I took you off the corner a little bit. I was trying to ask you because I got so interested in what you were talking about that my curiosity got the best of me and I asked you a question out of line what we were actually initially speaking on.

Speaker 1:

But when you're like, when you're coming up with a beat, you know what I mean is that something that you, like you're just posted up, or I mean you're just fucking around with sounds on your equipment? I mean, how does that come about? You're in the you know no ditty, but are you in the shower and fucking? You know what I mean Because I remember when I used to write rhymes, it just come to you in the middle of the fucking day. So is that how that works? But it seems more like you got to articulate it better because it's through the use of sounds rather than words it's, it's inspiration, bro.

Speaker 2:

That's where that comes from. I can be like, listen, I could be watching tv, man, and there's all of a sudden a soundtrack or or a little jingle or something plays like for 10 seconds. Man, and I, my mind, will pick that up and and then I start kind of like, man, that will sound pretty dope if it's something, if I put this and I add this and that. That's when you get up, come out, start crafting and start putting it together. You know what I'm saying? It's a little. It's a little.

Speaker 2:

My process is both it's my inspiration, of course, the other. The other one is like oh, sometimes I'll just, sometimes you just don't want to come in here sometimes, and you know, I'll just come in here and I'll sit down and and I'll start playing stuff. You know what I mean? Just listening to sounds or or playing a record and just kind of like let the brain kind of take over, because I'm telling you, man, you're, yeah, it's. It's amazing what you can find, bro, with just anything that's under the in four seconds of a sample from any record or from whatever you get it from. It's pretty remarkable overall, the you know what, the journey that your mind will take you on for sure there. Hello, hello, are you there, bro?

Speaker 1:

Ant have technical difficulties once again. Oh, I apologize.

Speaker 2:

No, I apologize.

Speaker 1:

How long could you not hear me?

Speaker 2:

It was probably for like less than a minute, probably around a minute.

Speaker 1:

All right. Well, everybody's still paying $9.99. I don't want no fucking emails at specialoperadiocom asking me for any kind of motherfucker refund, because you didn't get the whole motherfucker shout God damn it, there you go.

Speaker 2:

Yes sir, yes sir.

Speaker 1:

You were saying, and I'd like you to elaborate further because apparently I have again, technical difficulties in the mic and the motherfucking earbuds.

Speaker 1:

That's what this, this is the shit right here. Let me tell you a story. Let me tell you a story, sir. This is what the devil does when he knows you're moving up Throws little electronic bugs in your earbuds and your motherfucking headphones and your microphone Some ho shit. Do you think, in all honesty, like as you travel through life and as a grown adult male and I'm not saying we're old, I'm saying we're mature and there's nothing wrong with that but as you progress through life, do you find that a 99.9 percent of everything's bullshit and b that there is aa purpose and b certain things can be manifested if you choose to obtain or secure a fucking positive mindset?

Speaker 2:

That's 100%, yeah, yeah, yeah, the journey, it's been better, but it's sweet, like it's from beginning till now, like just the course of what I had to unlearn, just to be where I'm at right now, because a lot of these things were bred into it, right, we're like products of our parents, right, but whatever, like they're going through what they're doing, their era, that influences us as well, even though we don't, but still we carry the many reasons and all that stuff and we, you know their beliefs will come on to us until we have that awakening which we all do, right.

Speaker 2:

After a while, it starts to you start to question everything, right, it starts to, like you're looking at these people like, well, I don't know, because I don't feel right about that, you know, and that's the problem is like we think that there ain't nothing wrong with it, but there is, and that's taken away from our character, our dignity. But we should listen to our intuition, manifestation. Of course, all day you spend most of your life in your head. Make it a happy place, right, that's the key. So they're starting to see that your reality comes from your soul.

Speaker 1:

Hold the fuck up. Yeah, is that a bumper sticker?

Speaker 2:

No, it's not.

Speaker 1:

Is it a t-shirt?

Speaker 2:

Negative.

Speaker 1:

Have you ever read that in a book by Sun Tzu or anyone else? Robert Greene, shout out to both of y'all. You can send your motherfucking change to at special op radio. Have you ever read that or heard that anywhere in your entire life, or did you just say that?

Speaker 2:

No, I just no, I just said that. Say it again what is it Well? Well, say it again. What is it Well? Well, it's Okay, logically, dude, I'm thinking of it Logically.

Speaker 1:

Say it again. Say it again. I don't mean it like that.

Speaker 2:

Say it again, if you spend, if we spend Most of our times In our head, make it a happy place. Now, think about you. Know what I'm?

Speaker 1:

saying Just Everybody, just no. No, what you never said, alright.

Speaker 2:

If you think good, good comes. If you think bad, bad comes. That's life, that's yin and yang. But you got to also think, with all the light, you have to have a little bit of dark. And with all that dark you got to have a little bit of light.

Speaker 1:

But once you go black, you'll never go back bro.

Speaker 2:

You got to get the fuck out. Look at you. You blow man. No.

Speaker 1:

I'm just saying no, but I dig it.

Speaker 2:

The reason why I dig it.

Speaker 1:

No, it's no, because that's real talk, though, and it's actually it's a complicated thought. That is really quite simple. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Well, yeah, okay. So what have they taught us and what have they been teaching us? They taught us to worship things outside of ourselves. That's what they've been teaching us. When we, inside, we share the feeling of love, that's godly right, that's god, that's universe. God, that's universe. We're not separated, we're all a part of the same. It's all the same. We're all intertwined together. Everything. You know what I'm saying. That's the way I feel. There is like law, one, you know I'm saying it, we, that's where. That's what I'm telling you there. Your mind conscious projects our reality. We can change, sir are you there?

Speaker 1:

I got you carry that thought, brother can you hear me? Okay, right there, I got you we're all good brother, carry that thought yeah yeah, no, but yeah, okay.

Speaker 2:

So that's part of the question, right? It's like that's what I was saying. If you could put it in your mind, that's what, that's what's going to manifest your, your mind projects reality, right, your consciousness. So what do you do? You know what I'm saying? Like I could keep doing the same thing and keep telling myself nothing's going to change, or I could be like one day, start thinking positive and doing positive things. Then the universe is going to send that back my way tenfold. That's life.

Speaker 2:

Anything other than that, that's below you. That's a different frequency. They can't see you, they don't see you. It's out of your mind, out of sight, out of mind. Right, that's the type and that's the thing. Something so simple, bro, that we forget is we forget to fucking love ourselves. You know what I mean. Like, in any way, shape or form, bro, Like it becomes to the point where we're too comfortable with what the world is showing us that we can't see the harmful side effects that it's causing to us in our lives. You know what I'm saying. So that's why, like, I tell to me it's a coup de matata, bro, day in and day out. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

Like what do you mean? Like just every day is like an attempt to attain peace. I mean I feel like, but how do you go about that? I mean I feel like everybody wants to be peaceful.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, so. So I pick and choose my battles, first of all, and like so, and also God, I kind of just my brain just took a left right there real quick. But, yeah, no stress, no worries, learning the ability to let go. Like in my life, as a child growing up, my mother's told me twice I don't know if you know like in 2013, on Cinco de Mayo this was not too long ago I was in a near fatal car crash. Fatal car crash so ended up fracturing my nose, my left scapula, I shattered six ribs on my left side, punctures, two punctures on my left lung and one of my cracked ribs lacerated my sleeve, which is the filter for your blood, went in.

Speaker 2:

So, out of those times when my mom I, my mom's told me that I actually died three times, so like I started thinking to let go, I started to appreciate shit more, really appreciating shit just being outside and waking up, or just waking up, or just taking a breath, being outside and letting the sun hit your face, and going to the park, going to the trees, going to the mountains that to me felt like recharging my, like, my soul, like I started. You know what it's gratitude, right. I was grateful and that's probably the biggest feeling that I've gotten to me it's like if it ain't going to work, if it's not going to matter to me in five minutes, I'm not going to spend. I mean, here we go, let me reverse it. If I'm not going to dwell on it for five minutes, or if it's not going to matter in five years, then I'm going to give it five minutes to think about it. You know what I'm saying. Like I'm just going to shoot it out and give it back, because I'm not going to hold that in, because then that's going to slowly start. That's like acid to me. It's going to start eating myself from the inside out. You know, and I'm not saying physically, but, like you know, mentally, you know.

Speaker 2:

So I guess I appreciate things a little more. So I'm pretty happy where I'm at. So, even if I cease, I'm still happy and grateful that I was able to still be here and share experiences and stories and meet good people like you or anybody else that I've met in my life. Bro it just, it just. But to me to know, not to hold on to shit. You know what I'm saying. Like it's just, it's, it's hard. Don't, don't get me, don't get me wrong, bro. It's not an easy thing to do, but I think by me telling you my experiences, why it's easier for me to do so you know.

Speaker 1:

Nah, I mean, I've always appreciated your not only intelligence but the outlook they take on life, because I'm kind of the opposite in a lot of situations. I have a lot less patience than you in certain circumstances, and we know that the audience doesn. We know that the audience doesn't know that because they don't know you and I, but they, you know, obviously friends know one another, you know, I mean, and I mean that's why we're having this conversation in the first place. But, um, one thing that you said that uh, uh, hit me, is something that I almost feel like it just hit me today. Man, you know what I mean. Like, um, yeah, you start to look at certain materialistic shit and you're like, man, fuck it, yo. You know what I mean. Like who cares? You know what I'm saying. Like, like, like.

Speaker 1:

For instance, let's just say I'm not going to give a specific situation, but this was uh kind of specifically that uh initiated the conversation in my head about it. But it's like, uh, my wife and my stepdaughter they bounced someplace and it's all good. You know what I mean. I wasn't tripping on that at all, but it hailed like right after that and I was thinking to myself, man, the truck's probably fucked up. But on the same token, man, fuck the truck. You know what I mean. My wife spent time with her daughter day before mother's day. I don't give a fuck about that truck. We'll get another motherfucking truck my wife and daughter ain't gonna have today, tomorrow, to be able to, you know, make a a memory. You know I mean yeah I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I feel I feel like you get older. You know I'm saying you get older. I don't want to say you get sentimental or soft or anything like that, but you certainly look at things in a different perspective and a different light. I've always appreciated the way that you look at shit. What do they say, though?

Speaker 2:

Huh, what do they say? They say a hard head makes a soft ass, right.

Speaker 1:

Well, diddy said I mean did he? Said that, that doesn't just because he did, he, a bad boy, records that hey, hey hard heads make a soft ass hard head make a soft ass yeah, diddy's getting his jiddle doodled right now, right now what do you think about that? You think he really fucking?

Speaker 2:

motherfuckers. Oh bro, Bro, it's a fucking rainbow culture, bro, Like straight up you think the Illuminati's real what's the Illuminati?

Speaker 1:

if you think it's real.

Speaker 2:

To me. I would say they're people that are elitist, people that are very wealthy, like the 1% of the people that run the world, which are probably the only three companies in the world that own everything that is in your house or that you buy, or what you put your hands on, or whatever you consume. So, and it's like BlackRock, vanguard, you know what I'm saying Like, just it's it's, it's like a, it's like an investor group. Right, it's funny, but it's like an investor group. Right, it's like a main company, but they own Disney, hbo, whataburger, you know what I mean. Just all kinds of corporations.

Speaker 1:

HBO and Whataburger bro.

Speaker 2:

They got Whataburger bro, that's funny. I thought it was a family-owned business.

Speaker 1:

Oh good, good, good good. I don't want to take you out, Go ahead.

Speaker 2:

I think I'm hungry. I I don't want to take you out. I think I'm hungry. I think that's what it is. Mike Tyson bites.

Speaker 1:

You got 8 minutes left on your contract.

Speaker 2:

I want to get props to Mike Tyson.

Speaker 1:

What do you think about that? Did he fight, or that's tonight? When's that fight? It's in July you think he's going to fight him.

Speaker 2:

I hope.

Speaker 1:

Do you think it's whack that a 29-year-old kid is fighting a 58-year-old man?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think it's fucking whack.

Speaker 1:

You think there's a possibility because you grew up watching. Listen, bro, can I tell you. Let me tell you a little quick story. I remember, bro, when I first was in HVAC school, I worked at Pizza Hut. We didn't have shit, bro. When I first was in HVAC school, I worked at Pizza Hut. We didn't have shit, bro. We were lucky to have a TV. But somehow I managed to pay for cable and on a night that Mike Tyson chose to fight I think Tony Gugliotta or something like that.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, I paid for pay-per-view Fifty-some dollars, which was big money back then. We're talking about like late 90s.

Speaker 2:

You mean the filter? Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Went and bought me a six-pack of Heineken. I took the cap off the Heineken, took a sip off the bottle and the fight was over, right, yeah, do you think? Think, I mean because he used to be a bad motherfucker and I'm sure that I wouldn't fuck.

Speaker 2:

What would you fuck with tyson right now, like y'all, bro, not even because, no, not even because it only takes one one punch. You know what I'm saying like to fucking not remember who you are and piss your pants. You know what I mean? So um you, yo so, but look what happened when he thought roy jones jr right, like this, was like what four or five years ago, whatever that exhibition but there's room.

Speaker 1:

There's rumors, though, that there was like but there. There's rumors, though, that there was a contractual obligation between both boxers that neither one of them hit the other in the head, so that being said, maybe that's why we're not taught. We're not talking about I'm talking about fuck mike tyson trying to make a little huh.

Speaker 2:

Is it all hands barred then? This fight with jake paul is he? I don't think, I don't I don't.

Speaker 1:

I don't know the exact rules, I just know it's like a sanctioned bout. Two minute rounds, yeah, two minute rounds for ten rounds, something like that. But either way, here's my question to you. If you're Mike Tyson, if you're listen to me Pretty pleased with Sugar on top, very carefully, if you're Fucking Mike Tyson Mike Fucking Tyson- Right, yeah, yeah, pidgey, yeah, yeah, you're. Mike Fucking Tyson, do you Cause the Roy Jones thing or whatever? That was just a fucking yeah, you know, that was what it was. But and I didn't hear but.

Speaker 2:

That was like a fucking hospital. Yeah, it was bullshit.

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean. It was like GoFundMe. We might as well just had GoFundMe, but if you're Mike Tyson, you're going up against Jake Paul. Now maybe this is just fucking clever marketing. He ain't no boxer, it's Huh. He ain't no boxer though that's what I'm saying. He's a savage bro.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, dude, I'll put it to you like this I'm gonna see more action If I white Nate Diaz Versus Maz Vidal and fucking Juke. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

That's a thing that's happening.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's happening.

Speaker 1:

I like that. I dig that, maz Vidal. They're both kinda gangster, though. They're gangster. Yeah, both of them. Yeah, they're both kind of gangster, though huh, they're gangster?

Speaker 2:

yeah, both of them, yeah. So that's what I'm telling you exhibition they're fighting for, they want that bag right, but it's a little bit more. I don't know. Mma is more intimate in fighting. You know what I mean. There's more, there's more feelings, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1:

like what is the when you're, when you're uh, chasing after quote, unquote the bag, you know? I mean, I mean, like what? Yeah, obviously no one thinks too about you. Maybe yours will be beats, but at the end of the day, man, what's the bag Like? At the end of the day, the bag. We talk about the bag, the bag, the bag, the bag, the bag. But everybody's got a limit and some people don't have any. You ask me if I make a certain amount of money every single month, I'm fucking good to go, but certain people's bag is never ending. Well, I mean, not, I'm not asking you for a number, I'm just asking you for a position in this world that that you know you would find where you you, because at the end of the day, man, this life is not built for just getting up and fucking putting in eight, ten hours, twelve hours a day.

Speaker 1:

for any other given person, it's for fucking like being happy. I seen a short the other day on YouTube and the chick said it could have been Cap. I don't really know, but the chick said man, if I would have known how hard you have to work in America to be successful, I'd just stayed in Africa and I don't think it was Cap. You know what I mean. She looks sincere and I believe her because it does take a lot, you know I mean to be able to fucking generate a quote-unquote successful living. But if there were a job or anything that you could do for a given amount of money that you know whatever your needs were, well, what would it be, bro?

Speaker 2:

no, honestly man, it's money is not equivalent, uh, to my sanity for sure. Like money doesn't drive me there, wouldn't be? You know what? Honestly man, if, if, if I'm good, if my kids are good and we eating and we're doing okay, we're healthy, you know that to me is money in the bank right there more than whatever bag that I can get. You know what I'm saying? That's, that's basically my opinion on that I'm 100% agreeing with you.

Speaker 1:

I mean because, at the end of the day, the material it sounds like but there are. I mean because it sounds cool, you get. It's a really fine line.

Speaker 2:

When you start being greedy.

Speaker 1:

You want more right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then you start like thinking yeah, that's what.

Speaker 2:

I'm saying I love growing up and not having what I have. You know what I'm saying, like my parents only did whatever I could you know, whatever they could you know, and it made me tell me a lot of things too. You know what I'm saying, like some things that I do need, some things I don't, but the more more of the things that feel more meaningful to me are the fucking things that I'm passionate about. You know what I'm saying, like beats, music samples. You know writing some poetry or something like that. That to me is like gold, right there, just like with you, right? You know?

Speaker 1:

um shit, I'm at shit, hey bro, new sneakers back in the day to me, man, I fucking yelled a stranger for dirtying their own sneakers. You know, I mean like that's how, that's how these days I know exactly how to clean some fucking shoes, or I know exactly how to clean some fucking shoes, or I know exactly how to fucking, and that's why I'm so. I would think, and I, you know, it's all good and I understand, because I'm a pretty big pain in the ass. But I, you know, my wife and my stepdaughter and my father-in-law, even they'd all fucking probably say that I'm kind of anal a little bit. No ditty, but fucking no. But but for real, it's just because I've went so long without shit.

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean that when you get it, you appreciate it, you know what I mean. You want to make it last, you know.

Speaker 2:

And then there's a, there's a way to enjoy it and there's also a way to appreciate it, you know yeah, well, like, even though I'm telling you, bro, I never had time, I mean, I was a child yeah, of course you know it was all parties, house parties and going to like party raves, whatever, and cookouts and stuff like that, kickbacks, but like now I got so damn busy I didn't really care. You know what I'm saying. Like, it's just, you know, different point, different strokes for different folks. We're at different point in our lives and I think that's probably where we kind of see where we're at right now. That's probably what it is for sure I think it's still.

Speaker 1:

You know, I'm to the point. I was gonna, and we're gonna. We're gonna fade this, and I hope the audience understands and appreciates that uh, louise and I uh actually do have lives in the schedules, and we're going to move past this and on to another episode at some point in the future. No specific date shall be named until we coordinate and figure out what's going to pop off, but neither here nor there. What I do want to say, though, is and I have no idea why, actually, I do know why because I was talking about the other day because this is how, this is how life throws you lemons. This is how life throws lemons.

Speaker 1:

So I've been working on milan, I've been doing this, I'm doing that, I'm doing the water. Water is expensive as a motherfucker. You got to buy some seeds. You got to fucking plant shit everywhere. Know how much square footage you got there? There's how much seed to put. What fucking length on the, on the, on the spreader, do you? Got a hand spreader. You got a push spreader. What the fuck are you doing? Throwing it out there with the bare palm? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Is it rough or dry? Is it rough or dry, anyways? So, yeah, what the fuck? What just happened? That's why we're closing with this. So I did all that say this motherfucker came to my door the other day soliciting. I don't have a no soliciting sign, but I don't know, I guess I look like a solicitable house. Motherfucker came up to my door. My dude, my dude bro, my, I have no idea. I didn't, I didn't answer, I was just no, I was just looking at him.

Speaker 1:

But I was. I was looking at him through the camera and I was like fuck this motherfucker man, anybody that comes up to my crib in a short sleeve white shirt with a walmart tie ain't getting no attention, you know I mean so. But I watched because after he, after he bounced, I came outside. I wanted to see what he was fucking, who was gonna sucker up to him or whatever they were gonna do, and I noticed two trademarks in my motherfucking grass. Bro, this retard. I went back into my camera. He's driving around on a fucking stroller for adults. Bro, drove smooth over my grass. You know what I did? A little like those golf carts. No, it was like a segue, but like a fucking, even gayer one. It was like a transsexual segue it was a pansexual.

Speaker 1:

Yo, bro. This how I know I'm getting old because I stayed out there. Bro, I smoked seven cigarettes in a row waiting for him to finish going to the other neighbor's houses before he passed by mine again, and I said hey bro, stay off my fucking lawn man, and that's how I know I'm getting old bro.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I know I feel you. Yeah, it's just people suck bro, that's fucking Some people suck and it's most people, Not everybody, but most yeah they're most 100% 99.9. Yeah, sir, sir, I agree with you on that one.

Speaker 1:
