It depends on safety with you. You friendly with act shout out that that's nigga cool. What's no? I don't know the history

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the third time on this show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean

But then bro issue to it. Hey, it's my problem which I don't know none of your niggas in real life my problem is that why are niggas? Yeah, niggas supposed to be professional enough and have enough talking points instead of bringing niggas families in it Like when do you think a nigga go after you bring a nigga family in it and You niggas one away the white flag when it comes to shit outside. So I bring a niggas people's in it Man, I'm not with nothing that shit nigga. I don't like that shit niggas is up

I don't like that shit. Why why must we go there niggas is too professional Niggas supposed to be professional half-talking points. I'm in media. Why is it nigga family coming out to him out? Period nigga Period at the end of day when I think it's happening is that

Niggas is not where they want to be and niggas watch niggas that they think that they might be better than

surpassed them so they have to find little low Hang in fruit talking points to shoot that niggas. I don't like that shit. I don't like that I wish you niggas would and if a niggas shoot at me what's the most you're gonna say your nigga dumb You don't have you know you can't take a leg of the slows one up there cool at the end of the day

“I'm outside niggas go look at the fanatic fence cameras. That's how you”

Watch it they pull out the cameras. You'll slip so much over Anyway, I'm not with nothing that don't shake my head. I don't know none of you niggas I just don't like certain angles niggas take because you don't have to take it Period, I'm doing that you don't have to take it and some of you niggas too

A lot of you niggas be disrespecting my peoples and because we had a relationship back in the days

You try to reach back out to me. You don't flip no No, you went too far. I'm not interested in being cool Why because if you respected me you wouldn't win that fall if you even know who I am What I stand for you wouldn't know what that for nigga. None of my niggas that raised me play like that Now I just see the nigga, please

I don't play like that when I'm I'm so I can keep it all you like I watch this sneakers I can watch your living conditions. I can watch your car

“I can watch your talking points. I don't need to bring other individuals involved in order to shoot at you”

I think that shit is weak Period, I'm sorry And a lot of niggas do that and they try to disguise it or hide behind friendship No, you're not my friend bro because we respect when you were doing especially places that I work at And I'm period I'm not for y'all

Now outside forces is getting me hype and now you getting me hype You know I'm alive man. I got a fine to my I got fine to mine fire and do It's a healthy exercise Keeps your sharp keep you ready Yeah, I ain't y'all the yeah nigga look over there doctor. Yeah nigga mute up when niggas get to talking violence

He think yeah even Charlie man. That used to be my guy man. Now look You can't even shoot at him. Just randomly nobody to shoot at just randomly you got to be like grown in adult and mature Can't smack nobody to sue you See now some of y'all are down to smack niggas, right? And I'm just so I'm clear I've been this close a couple times Hell yeah

twice this week Like over some shit, they say like so Just go around now my or boy So, man, but we know I you get that tell them not tell them what I said about tell them you see a man But watch rockin when the demon is bull huh, wha been with the other he's come out from the 90s.

I'm the determining factor in some I'm involved with getting squashed what if...

Right, so sometimes

“You make them do that person apologize, then I'll deactivate”

Yeah, I just yes, go this we should just we can try to do that. Oh, yeah, we have that. I go didn't didn't go to where I wanted it to

I don't do I rarely do it and only when I'm asked to but yeah I mean, I don't man do some dead shit for this week and it didn't work out about one or two, but I felt good Step in and saying let me try and show this out because we told to be fighting and playing that to me

Anyway, uh, my was fine, it's in the building.

- Oh, it was part of the building. - It was part of the building. - Engineering, struggling there, not willing to share. - Fuck, shut out the net. (laughing)

- Oh, we're putting it in the hands on some people this week. - Fuckin' with the white man on the neck. - Wait, wait, wait. - I thought that the point. - That point.

- It's like, you know that beef brother is in real life annoying. - People outside. - You play some excels when you slap them. (laughing) - I'm not gonna.

(laughing) - I'm not gonna. (laughing) - Oh, shit, just slacks him out. - Yeah, I'm gonna get you some.

- Oh, let me get you some. - Oh, Paul, Paul is here for you, see your hair, see your hair, see your tanner and save on a here by for more.

“Last but certainly not least, each and every one of you very important people out there are here.”

How's everybody doing, everybody good? - Good, good, good, good. - Absolutely, love that. Where do you guys want to be again? Let's keep the energy right, where? Oh, back to the gym. - Before we get you, let's do it.

- Come on. - Come on. - Come on. - Come on. - And I know some of them, wait to the back of our her people, who're grabbing the stuff, you don't need it. - Yeah, could have been a work site. - No, it wasn't that kind of grabbing.

- I actually had a different thought, but it turned out to be the gym. And I was actually impressed that you via the gym in four, it was like, maybe like five, six o'clock in the afternoon, man. And then we started having a conversation about the gym today. And you mentioned that you were alone when you go. I mean, if you're going at six o'clock,

that's the after work crowd, you feel me like, - No. - Yo, Doug. - So what, they changed his things for me. - The conversation was, we started talking about colons, and then old school colons, new school colons. - Yeah. - Niggas knows evolving, et cetera. So I was like, "You're one of my go-to's, it's some cheap a shit that I could just get."

That's what I'll be wearing to the gym. And they were like, "You wear colons with a gym?" - And Joe looked like, "Yeah, Niggas, y'all, he then said, "Don't wear colons to the gym." - Well, I'm not going to call him "he then." - But I'm concerned about that. - Certainly not about the gym.

- Uncultures one. - Because before I'm down with it, on this one. Before I go to the gym, you get pretty. - No, I don't get pretty. - I don't get pretty. - I don't get pretty at all. - I'll get pretty. - But I do spray a little something, a little, and the air, and give a little walk through.

- Yeah, that's the niggas that throw the arm's sleeve on, and that's a terrib...

- I don't do none of that. - Yeah. - Right. - Yo, are you mad at you?

“- People wear smells to the gym. - That's what Popeau was saying.”

- Unless he doesn't get to the gym etiquette. - It's been wearing colons. - He's respectful. - Hey Paul, listen, it's some universal sense that, "Okay, this ain't no brute." - You're right. - He said he also matches to go to the gym. - So, I don't be doing that. I don't be trying to get cute to go to the gym.

What I'm saying is, "It'd be niggas in there to be swathed sometimes you don't believe." - What do you wear yesterday to the gym? - It's curious. - I don't believe that. - What do you have on the gym? - First of all, did they match? - Did you have that that ish? - Did you have on some Tom Brown? I don't think I'm wearing what do you be wearing to do it?

- I wear sweats. - Every day. - What kind? - Big hoodie. How are your own shoes? - But do you wear the compression box of briefs that like hide how you hang in it? Or you go on your swing? - Whatever I got on it. - Oh, but you ain't trying to damage it. - Oh, you ain't trying to damage it.

- Oh, you in it. - Oh, shit. - Yo, I wear a turban. - Yeah, I wear a turban. - I wear thick clothes. - Yeah, I wear thick clothes. - And they dance. - I do a card. - So I want to swim. - It's thick. - It's a thin dance.

- I want to feel the wind. - It's like, when I used to go with CBS, get the lambskin. - The lambskin gum. - Yeah, you ain't ever do that. - 'Cause I did. You did. - You did.

- Tell you what it. - I believe you think I never purchased gum.

- Oh, no, I wouldn't say that. - Yeah, I think you bought them. - Yeah, that part of the-- - I've used gum. - It's hard to just keep it in your wallet. - All right. - I've never wanted to pack it. - I've used gum. - I'll show off when she comes over. - All right.

“- Oh, he's responsible for that. - That first one.”

- First one. - I've definitely used gum before that. We're not going to paint that picture. - And if I wasn't using them, that wasn't on me. It was on his horse. It was one out of every 500 girls that actually stuck to,

hey, I'm not going to let you penetrate me without a condom one. It's only one out of maybe a thousand that was like now for real. - So you numbers are in a thousand. - No, I do it. - So you numbers are in a thousand. - You are no, no, no. - You want to sell? - He doesn't sell.

- He doesn't sell. - He's right. - Yeah, they know what I mean. - Hey, I had 'em. We was niggas. We had a draw full of all types of whatever surprise you may need. They got to make up wipes and all types of shit in the draw.

- Yeah, there was condoms in there. But you're poor chance. - Well, let me do that to you. - And then once you, and then here, work with it and we here now. - And then that's when they try to look for your eyes.

- Oh, can you believe we're doing this? - Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. - I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't. - Shit, I'm about to be done. - Fuck you to a shut up.

But condoms just made me fucks away longer than I wanted to fuck. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Condoms just shut up. - No, no.

(laughing)

“- Well, last little bit of shit, that's my kind of as good for the first time.”

Not just being safe, but let you really put your shit down the first time. - Oh, no, I don't want to be that long. Not even the first time.

- The first time we're doing, never mind.

- Now he doesn't. - He don't stand in it. - The first time we were, I'm never trying to give out a plus dick on the first time. - I'll set that up, I'll set that up. - I'll set that up.

“- But I think last night there was a live stream.”

Everybody sending it to me upset, not upset. People are waiting for a response, I should say. They're engaged. - Okay. - And I think Joe's going to play the audio.

So I don't know a step on it. But he basically said, "Me, Mark Menlo and Larosa are trash." I think that was the just. - Or you all are pussy, journalist, because you don't report on rock nation. That's what it's all about, right?

- It's all about rock nation. - So it's a Drake rock nation, stake verse, whatever they're doing. - It's a validate his findings. - The tenure, Mark Menlo and him. - That's great, dude.

- Oh yeah, I was on the seaship shit. I don't respect none of y'all names. Y'all names are on some journalism shit. Let me tell you what the journalism come in. When it comes to y'all names.

Naga, you're just a writer, Naga. Like, yeah, you listen to hip hop and you, yeah, you're from the culture this and third, but Naga, when I think about journalism, I think about investigative shit.

None of y'all do that. Definitely not you, you're the genius naga. You don't do that. L'Oreal Roses of O.I. Code for a statement. She don't do that.

And anybody else I mentioned, I basically told y'all all three of y'all names to even think. You know what?

“- But that the journalists are not doing their homework”

to kind of uncover this stuff. See if it's true or not. And speak to it.

- What do you think about that?

- Huh. What do I think about that? He says, I don't break hip-hop stories and do investigative work. And I don't produce new information or hip-hop.

- Mm. - I would say academics, you are correct. I don't claim to. I haven't done hip-hop journalism in probably 20 years. And when I did, I was a music critic.

And I report on stories that are relevant to hip-hop. But I don't walk out here saying that I'm a hip-hop journalist. I don't think I've ever said that out here. I wrote some of the earliest books on hip-hop. I've had made a huge contribution to hip-hop.

And I still study hip-hop as an academic. I don't know. I'm not a hip-hop journalist. And when Joe hired me to my knowledge, we were out in the balcony when you made me sign a contract. - When we talked, "Hey, I'll go over there." - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Man, you're gonna go to lunch. I don't think Joe ever said to me, Mark, "I want you to be my hip-hop investigative journalist." If I thought 90% of the criticism I get up here is that I'm supposed to be the political guy,

but that or we got too much of that political shit. My job up here was to be covering, or to be breaking stories. On any guitar topic, but especially not on hip-hop. In my journalist, that's one of my roles in life. It's not my primary job, but it is a job.

And for the last six weeks, I've spent every single night on my channel breaking new information on Nolan Wells. From the moment he died, I've been covering in Nolan Wells case. I think that's a better use of my time in Roc Nation versus Drake.

“But can I jump in and just add one game, what you're saying?”

- Yo, Eric, who the fuck you think you talking to? Rigger? Hold up for a minute now, wait, wait, two. I'm enough. Yo, why don't you fuck him out

when you speak about a good dog? Wait, two people wait and take it that day. He knows what he really says. - Wait, take it that day. You're just trying to find the way.

Yeah, you know what he's saying. The dress what he's saying. You started to address it. You don't feel like the Roc Nation versus Drake is important enough for you to cover.

Let them cover it. It's a part of us to talk about. But I don't. The other energy it takes, think about what Pablo Tory does with the clippers.

Right? And what can tell it? Yeah, I don't know what it does. Or think about anybody that does anything investigated. That takes time, energy resources.

I don't. If I go through all of that, and it turns out that Roc Nation has a axe to grind against his Drake, and they're fucking up his career undermining him. I don't feel like that would be a well.

You did you some time. Do I think that's true? Yeah, I watched that. What's that thing called? What's the dirt?

Because people say I was ducking. I wasn't ducking. I'm busy. I got other things to do. I literally, I write books.

I read that. I'm not interested in it. You know why? Because I think it's probably true. Like, I don't, it's nothing.

I'm ducking it. I'm afraid.

“Yeah, do I think Roc Nation has the power to fuck somebody's life up?”

Yes. Do I think they don't like Drake? Yes. Do I think they might be behind some shit? Sure.

I don't know enough the fact. Check it. Let's just assume it's true. Be clear. I'm not running from it.

I just don't care. Not because I'm a Roc Nation employee.

Roc Nation has never given me a dollar.

I've never been to a brunch. Like, none of that. I just don't care that much. Let's assume it's true. Now what do we do?

Do I, do I organize the troops? Do I go to the street? Do I go get a bunch of people together? It's to rally behind Drake so that we can free him from the clutches of Roc Nation. Like, what the fuck do I do?

I know what I do. What I do if I find out, no one else was killed by his friends. I know that I'm a dude there. You know what I'm saying? I know what I'm going to do.

When we talk about people dying and I have a war in lead in the war in Jackson, Mississippi. Well, another thing I investigated. I wrote a whole book. Nobody about Ferguson and and and let and people dying from lead no. I've been shot by police and Flint Michigan being having lead in the war.

I know what we did. Then we got people water. What do I do after I do all this work and put thousands of hours in on to to fight out. The Drake is who was a ton of money. He's been fucked by somebody who was he just as much or more.

But like, I just don't care that much. You're right. And I can get water to you nigga. You punk. Come on.

Come on.

You punk.

He won't be turned up but it's like. None of that. But you just, you get me back in the fucking like a dope. No.

“What's your fucking mouth when you're talking about me?”

That's all. And sometimes you need to do that. I don't, this is the situation. I don't want to be flat. He's right.

I don't contribute much to this show in terms of breaking stories. I don't know why that became my role. But he's right. I don't contribute much to that. Thank you for calling me smart.

I think of this story on you. I don't sort of think of the story as exactly hip hop journalism. No. It seems like gambling journalism. Yes.

To me, big business. It's big business. It's a big business. It's a big business. It's not about hip hop.

There are hip hop.

It's the first and the second.

It's the first and the second. It's certain areas of hip hop is affected by it. So an act wants just to people the cover it. And he wants us to talk about it. And condemn rock nation for the.

“I think he wants some level of unbiased reporting.”

Right. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying? Why? I think this can't really. Be loyal to that relationship. Let's say if that was the case.

So what? Act. You cool with Drake. And you showed that you cool with Drake. I picked who would Jay Z. Is it a nigga job? It's supposed to defend his man. I saying is being done, but so what?

Nick is be saying things like you're I'm scared as my man. If a nigga my man, I'm not a pretty THING these niggas try to tell me about this nigga. Mums the word. I would not say anything. - Why do you think it was a lie? - Listen, what I'm saying is that I think it can't be the show to shit.

“- So I remember, time of it. - I think it cannot get me to talk about my man. You defend the me to some shit. Have to shit. We're in this cousin, me, nigga.”

You defend the me to shit. Now I'm gonna do you go and talk about me? We come from different things. You're supposed to defend your man. If Jay is somebody man, Nick is ain't gonna talk about that man. It's a bit. Sorry, you want niggas admit. Oh, that's my friend. Okay, we gonna admit it. Oh, that's my friend. If niggas ask me about Joe, where anybody runs my man, I'm not talking about it. Pete, that's it. It's nothing wrong with that. You cool with Drake. I watched you and I watched you go through the shit with Drake.

It happened. That's your man. They can't get you to the talk bad about Drake. That's it, my nigga. My nigga's overspanked. Yes. We look up to the job on podcast on the people up here as the people with the information that's supposed to break the news because of the big following.

Also, a lot of niggas have relationships. Also, there's more than relationships. A lot of time niggas is in business. And niggas is never sacrificed their business for clicks or views. I'm sorry.

I don't think a niggas wrong for protected his relationship. I said do what me in the camera situation. When I said niggas came gave me a lot of niggas 100,000 dollars. And I don't want to diss him. They looked at me bad. Not dissing niggas and put money in my pocket regardless of what he says. If you're not talking to my family or my children, which is a thing for me, he's good. Talk to whatever you want to talk with. I'm going to see you next week and we're going to talk about it as family or whatever we're going to do.

Which end up happening niggas can't preserve and protect their relationships, enough with this shit, my nigga. And here's the thing. I'll protect my relationship, y'all. And I hear flip and I agree with everything you just said for you. Some people might look at me and say, "Well, Mark, you put yourself out in the world. It's somebody who calls balls and strikes. You put yourself out to somebody who does." Say they're going to hold people accountable. Right? Cool. So, two weeks ago, we had a knock-down drag out and hear about Target. We did.

And I was the one criticized in JZ. You were. You were. When JZ got involved with the educational shit in Pennsylvania, I made videos about it. Investigate videos about it. Criticism. JZ. With the Super Bowl shit happen. I criticized JZ. I don't mind being on the wrong side of JZ. I just... I don't care about history. Yeah. Because the other issue was about educating children.

The other issue was about the right to protest. You don't say another issue about national boycott.

I'm not running from smoke. I'm not running from criticize and powerful people all I do.

nigga, I fucking criticize the state of Israel in front of the United Nations. I fucking made a book with Lumia Abu Jamal. Like, "I'm not a fucking traitor, Drake!" And Sergeant Flanagan. Who's Sergeant Flanagan? I don't know. She can get into the party. I'm a combination. I'm a combination of both these niggas paws. I'm with Mark. I think that the shit you're all saying niggas is doing. They ain't doing that.

I don't know why y'all need white put on it. Hey, not only do I think they do it. I've known they've been doing it for years and years. Hey, there's a fact. Now what? That's one. Two. Like, Flip is that. If you have a relationship, I'm not going to call it a relationship. If you have a healthy amount of respect for somebody, that's on you, the cater, your behavior,

The whatever fits that that mode for you.

people. This earth shit is hard. This content is shit is hard. And this life shit is hard.

“Aging is hard. Coming to grips with shit, reflecting on shit, self-improve, and course correcting”

all of it is hard and doing it in front of the public is hard. So I have a healthy amount of respect for the people that are out there carrying it a certain way. That aside, I heard access to me. It was a lone mercenary tension. You're right, buddy. I want to reserve the right to flip on anybody at any time. Don't hold me to you. He fly with him so he ain't saying up, up, up, up, up, up, up. I ain't that fly with none of these niggas. Like, Wayne knows it. I don't want

to go to a brunch, a birthday party. I don't want a key key with nobody. I don't want none of

you niggas on my mixtape. I don't want y'all on my EP. I don't need your producer for nothing,

your publicists for nothing. I'm cool. Would have a God is carrying this thing for me. I'm not with none of that shit. And now I want to address that point, Acme. Because to keep trying to listen, Acme being fly with niggas like he clearly is fly with Drake. That's where

“me and him separate. That's where my lone rogue mercenary shit comes in. That's why I almost got beat”

up by the megos. Because Acme sitting there being cool, kick, kick friendly with niggas. I don't like I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do. It's a fuck out of my face. He's making these blouses. What are we doing right now? What are we doing? It's out of the megos. But at that

point in time, I'm going to get these niggas to fuck out of my face with all of these shit. It's

land of shit in Atlanta. Yeah. Well, I'm not saying Atlanta. Yes. He's going to get the 8-ounce stop. He was going to pee the roll. Yes, I'm like Chipotle. How to walk up the next day? Maybe. Hopefully. Maybe. Well, I woke up the next day. There you have about that. It didn't happen. Yeah, maybe. Anyway, now you made forgive the fuck I was saying. Oh, yeah, that's what me and act gold. A straight. He's clearly riding with Drake doing the whole mouthpiece for Drake

thing. I'm not with none of that shit. I want to flip on anybody at any time. I don't have an allegiance to none of these niggas out of you. Did you all see what Rob Markman is saying to to act? I didn't see it. I saw he responded about it in here in the response. I watched it. Kind of what you said. Like he wasn't anything spicy particularly to me. He wasn't anything spicy. Shout to Rob. The truth about Rob is a classic guy. I like Rob. And I agree.

I agree with fuck. I don't think there's a lot of niggas when they get on acts bad side. I don't. I said that the resources by the time he takes to go in on niggas and to find one that he built people, Tippy told around it. Perry, they don't want to get on his bad side niggas. So think about that though. I'm the only niggas that I know how to work out with him. Perry, me. For niggas to respect me, I'm on that. But I watch it by the niggas and respectfully show niggas don't want to get on that

niggas bad side. Oh, I got on the stand and excluded my men because that's not it for me. Excluding you, excluding I want to be clear because I'm not it's not a shout out to you. I don't do what you do and say shit secretly on low. Look, that is to thank you for the shot. I just say great. But yeah, because I don't want to know if I could see that niggas don't want to probably act. You know what I'm saying? I'm not talking about robbing, but I just watch a lot of people

and they respond to academics. Today my son and one of niggas that just tell me like, you got it.

“Because it comes with a lot. So think about that. Well, think about that though. What you saying?”

Yeah. If we could acknowledge that with act, the same could apply to a walk nation or something. You can see. You can see y'all. Who the fuck want a problem with these motherfuckers? If this would they could do? Same way. It's common sense. So this is not going to bark up, but from axe brain, I can't say it. I don't give a fuck. Any is saying. I'm just saying. So now he's saying anybody could get it. Right. No, it's not. It's not saying that like other people should feel like him.

Should feel like him. He's not transforming unbiased transparency while he's being biased and not transparent. On the other side too. So, I mean, salute. But do you know, I love everyone's position in this beef pause. Y'all have made way no get mad. He was like on a camera. I got to be honest. I like it. It was good. I like it. I was up at 445 with nothing to do, but look at niggas spas on youtube. That's all my algorithm show. Well, you know, I love it. Keep firing at these things.

And you find them at somebody. I like, I like, right? I like, right? I like, right? But I like when

Rob Markman don't bother us, so don't hear Rob.

at me phony. Hey, I don't want to hold bunch of peace. I think I've been clearing that. I don't want peace

“out there. Fire these niggas. I love radar. You spiked in it up. I love New New y'all. We”

had it in the 2027 dog. We had it in the 2027. It's been somebody's same faces, the same kings, the same games, the same systems since 2015, 2014. We had it in a new spike day. Let the fucking carousel go around. Let's get some new players in this shit. Hey, I, I hate niggas killing the jarl of me. They absolutely killed the jarl of me now there. Hey, guess who love what he did. Me. What are you doing? Hey, me. Hey, sometimes you got to sit on a throne.

Fire some bullshit out and a nigga that didn't deserve it. Guess what? Hey, y'all don't understand the weight that comes with a crown from time. Sometimes you got to see a nigga look like he making a little too much noise out there and slow him down. I love that. I love radar. We're all

the shit started for this. It's jarl of me and ray over fucking jazzy out and it's still

who the fuck knows. I like jarl of me making all the money and just hey, I see you. Hey, and then go back to bin. Hey, niggas have another word. I like that. I like what everybody

“do. I can't be phony, yo. Or our war bloodbath amongst these content creators. Let's get to it.”

Yeah, I got popcorn from at me. Who beat you? Yeah, I want to see it. I'm not going to be phony and say I'm rooting for peace and unity and saying no, no, fight. Let's go. Let's go. And he think it's what's going to be. Ballmers like them. If niggas is, if niggas is flagging niggas shit, right? Just say that, niggas is copyright infringement, right? They're using those tools. Why the fuck if I come on niggas? Why the fuck I don't know why I'm going to just chew that

in niggas. Let's talk about reality. So when I have to go through the whole process of getting my channel delete now certain month, I'm talking about Queens flip. Yes. I got to go through the process of getting my channel deleted. Now, yes, my funding is gone. Some of my funding is gone. And now,

I'm stuck because what I wanted people to know what this company is doing. Never. You're going

to have a plan BC and D before you chew that niggas because whatever copyright infringement tool they got, it works. I see it. That's five second rule shit don't work. Whatever that rule that YouTube put, I just looked it up. Whoever work at YouTube changed it, do not get mistaken about the three to five second rule. It's done. It won't get anymore. I just checked it. And in a weird way, this is everyone working together to drive up the assets. I mean,

hey, you come into creators, no, before of course, you don't know what going to come in. Hey, hey, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo

trying to dig up information on him. Guess what he said? And I looked at it at home and said, "Yeah, don't." Yo, people be so surprised that the logical thing to do next. Hey, hey, we're going back, hey, homie.

Hey, you know what I was thinking?

“You guys are going to, yo, what's in the way becomes the way?”

It's no, hey, that was a hurdle putting front of me, that was an obstacle, no, no, no. That's the way now. That's one of the lessons that you got to pick up when you get to war in. Hey, your niggas wanna war, let's learn the lessons that come from war. Your page getting taken down.

We call on YouTube. Hey. This page is income that's going on. Do me a favor. Just slow that down.

Let's put the governor on that. Let's slow that right down. If he says I'm bad about me to hate speech or whatever, we can get that removed entirely. That would mean they call in the place behind the things. A lot of your podcasts have got a little price.

Beats pee in the corner. I love when I see that. No, why? Yeah. Yo, I love it.

I love to see everybody getting money. I mean sharing, but no, go lose, no, go lose in the shit, but that's my block.

My block.

I'm in a piece for move. But yes, that involves picking up the flow. Hey, you work with the others. That's just part of the game. I've been killing shit for 10 years.

This was supposed to cut me a big ass check at least nine years ago. They can't, you can't do it. No why they can't do it. Got to pick a side, bro. Got to pick a side.

That's Rosenberg gang over there. You better know what gangs you against, nigga.

You ain't just never going against one person.

That's, that's Rosenberg gang over there. Man, that's fucking shady been there since 2005. I can't come, you know, sure. That just, it just wouldn't look right. I love it.

I live for this shit. I live for this.

“I'm not out here, fucking, would it come, shaking, nigga?”

Let's get it, grab that. Let's go. It's crazy. Wake up in here, goddamn. You're just too fucking mad, man.

But wait, nigga. I have to, nigga. I have to, nigga. I have to, nigga. I have to, nigga.

I don't touch me, nigga.

The fuck is going on, nigga.

This isn't having to watch it all the day, nigga. I can't, nigga. I can't do feeling good even reminiscing about, even reminiscing about, even reminiscing about war, man. This is fun.

Hey, keep it up. It is understanding, man. Keep it up out there. It is. I love it.

Let's get some new players involved. Come on. We can't just drag out some of the same beefs. That's escalated. That's escalated.

Let's escalate the beef. Yeah. So what happened when they get on the escalator? Going to the upper room. Then what happened?

See, A, but I don't play content, bro. A, but I'm playing content. Yeah, I'm a boy involved. No, I'm the same with the baby. Just when I, you thought I closed the topic.

You thought I had it closed. That whole owl was a trick. Got my boy involved. The man. Run way.

Hey, let's talk to my man to tell you about what happened when we don't play content. You know, I told about when you catch a nigga. Why why go ahead get your bag. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.

“What you said is nothing they use lyrics and court. They're good. I'm crazy. I just think it's whack. I do I do I think it's whack anybody.”

I mean it could happen to you. No, I mean everybody be standing on this pro black hill and all that other shit, right? So if you make him behind a scene behind the scenes calls to stop another black man from eating over something that's a really not a problem. I think it's whack. Because anybody really out here insulting nobody or doing something to the point where that should be happening. Now I get it in this game. I know I'm mad you got a sitting jail. I'm an I believe why everybody rolled three times while you just sitting there and can't do nothing.

Guess what that's the game has the game. So all part of the game you either built for it in a quit for it or go stand on the stands Go go be a spectator somewhere this shit gonna get active at some point if you out here. Can't have one foot in and one foot out and too many niggas is making a way too much money. Somebody's gonna bring it to your front door When you wasn't looking for it when you least expecting it somebody maybe that you least expected it from be prepared for all of it people pay it for it all

I'm gonna find me off to get that before this episode. Anyway, now it's time for my favorite part of the show press this and don't ever get a fucked up one of your niggas can get paid when I pull up

Yeah, it's tough to get active in this room. Yeah, we never we 50 never.

Yeah, we always tough to get him. I need to wind around. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you wind have guns that look like smart phones. I saw that. Yeah, I saw that. Oh, well, I said you're also glad I was a young nigga when I was a young nigga. That's a fact. I agree to be a young nigga today. I was way too inquisitive. I'd have been in all of this bullshit. The gun that looks like a smartphone. Please give that to me. Let me try it.

When I was young. Yeah, I would never go out no way with these niggas. People have a smartphone on you. That's like, I wish I could have been like a flash. We're going to take your picture. People let you know, you're like, yeah, and then you better call somebody back. I can't call him. No, I'm going to call him your maker.

Call him somebody right there. I can't believe you. You know, you put out a smartphone gun. That means you did ask about killing me.

“Yo, now you've got it. I pissed you off. If you skip a regular gun, you're like, you know what?”

If you transform a gun, yo, if you did do that, you won.

It could be a display.

Oh, private. All right. It's just not sent me to prize picks. He's working diligently on it. Because there's more than he came in. He had half of his turkey bacon and egg bag. Left other half there on wrapped shit falling out the sides. I was about to throw it away, but he went back and made it back over there and ate some big.

But he always forgets to send me to the prize picks when we're doing the private.

It's from my girl. My girl. My girl everyday orders food as if when she went to sleep, new foods weren't been it. It's just always like an hour and a half for her to order food. And she can't seem to order food without knowing what I want to eat. And I keep saying, yo, just eat yo. Yo, just take care of yourself.

You're a picky eater. Now, I'm going to open this shit and be cool with Wendy's. If it comes work, you're a picky eater. Go ahead and just do you. But then she take that as I don't care.

“Did she eventually make the decision of what to order though?”

Yeah. Oh, what's not going to happen up for that? Don't grab it. It'll be too hours later. My favorite. One of the best feelings I get in the world is when she's sitting there for two hours trying to decide and the store closed on her. Well, that's my favorite thing. I love that.

And then she said, then got to start. You mad. She said they're mad. Hungry. Oh, I think it's close. That ain't New Jersey. Well, yeah. Well, you take three hours to order food. That's the only time they say. I haven't. I ain't got time to be for two niggas out there.

You miscellaneous fucking non-playable character niggas because order and food. It's fight.

I had a smoothie. I had a smoothie bowl other day for the first time. I'm a beef with two niggas and eat a smoothie bowl.

Why is this smoothie bowl? You put the smoothie in the bowl instead of a cup. You put the smoothie in the bowl instead of a cup. You put the smoothie in the bowl instead of a cup. You put the smoothie in the bowl instead of a cup.

You put the smoothie in the bowl instead of a cup. You put the smoothie in the bowl instead of a cup. You put the smoothie in the bowl instead of a cup. You put the smoothie in the bowl instead of a cup.

“You put the smoothie in the bowl instead of a cup.”
