Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Go out to la. La. Coming from the city with no pity. Somebody needs to do a song for la, straight up.
[00:00:13] Hello, my name is Elaine and I'll be your tour guide through South Central Los Angeles. Look, count my nose, smoke up. I'm from California, where you from? So what? I'm from California.
[00:00:26] California, this is Los Angeles. Well, where we going? West.
[00:00:32] But Ice Cube is still an incredible MC.
[00:00:36] So there you have it. Corrupt at 5, Nipsey at 4, Kendrick Lamar at 3, Snoop at 2 and Ice Cube at 1.
[00:00:47] Now I know what some of you probably thinking. Where's Tupac?
[00:00:52] Pac ain't from la.
[00:00:54] And that's where we have to re. We have to rearrange everything, but with some insight, with some opinions and with a little bit of bias to it.
[00:01:09] So I noticed that shout out to 12 Cal. He recently had an episode, a couple of episodes ago called the best five from LA 12 cow podcast.
[00:01:28] And he gave his, his input and his opinion on who are his, you know, his personal top five artists from.
[00:01:38] From la. Now here's the one thing basically throughout the whole. That covers the whole board, the whole under the whole umbrella of top five to top five to top fives.
[00:01:51] Especially when it comes to hip hop, niggas don't really come up with the criteria, you know what I mean? And I don't think we ever will even shit that we. You can go to sports and it's somewhat a little bit easier because in, well, kind of like in music, it's kind of like the same thing in basketball. Who game you like more?
[00:02:16] 50 million point guards. But which point guard do you like? And the style of play that, that, that comes with that player.
[00:02:24] You like the Magic Johnson style of play where you are distributor first score second, you know what I'm saying? Even John Stockton is more pass first in score.
[00:02:35] But then you got the point guards like the Kyrie Irving staffs, the Westbrooks, you know what I mean?
[00:02:42] Where they're just offensively gifted.
[00:02:47] Where it went from seeing two guards and the Wings or even big men back in the day being the face of the team, you know, the main guy.
[00:03:00] Even when, you know, back in the day with the Lakers, Magic Johnson was the draw, but the team belonged to captain, you know what I mean? And we just identified the main guy in other positions until those hybrid guards came along and just shook up, just shook shit up, you know, to the point where a lot of people feel like, I can't say a lot of people, but there are a portion of people that feel like Curry has or can dethrone Magic from being the greatest point guard of all time.
[00:03:38] And that just, to me, that just comes down to preference at this point. That's why I said there'd never truly be a goat because we had goats. We had more than one. It just preferred which. You just prefer which goat you like, right? And here we are where we talk about the west coast and we got a lot of them when it comes to hip hop. And the thing about it is you, we separate, but we're still cousins. And obviously I'm talking about the Bay Area where you got Northern California and then you got Southern California. Basically, that's the Bay Area. And then you have LA and they have their personal top five and they came in and they compete. I'm pretty sure Mac Dre would be in that top five and everybody's top five, E42 short would be up there. They got some cats, Jacka. They got some cats.
[00:04:48] So I can't, I can't really. I don't really want to speak for the Bay. They can honestly speak for themselves. There's a video out there that they pretty much keep it consistent with the names that I said. I mean, you have, you, you were here. You will hear a Larry, June and Keith to snee. You know what I'm saying? So there's other cast that they do mention.
[00:05:13] Even LaRussell is being mentioned now and he's the newest, one of the newest from the Bay.
[00:05:23] You know, when I listened to the episode, I said, it all makes sense. You know, for the longest, I've had Ice Cube as the number one artist.
[00:05:33] Since I've known about Ice Cube, no one has sat at the top of the west coast throne, in my opinion, outside of Ice Cube. Now, I know a lot of people will say Snoop Dogg, right? And then we're not counting Dr. Dre because Dr. Dre is more of a producer than anything.
[00:05:54] But I mean, if we was doing the overall, then he definitely is going to be up there. But no, this is just strictly.
[00:06:03] That's why he said as an honorable mention, he did mention DJ Quick as both producer and artist, and he was phenomenal at both.
[00:06:14] But the one thing that we got to change up and obviously we didn't do a deep dive into why you don't really need to, because he's just told you Pac is not from la, so that's not what this is about.
[00:06:28] But you also mentioned Ice T and Corrupt, who are both from. Who were both born on the east, but just, you know, raised on The West. You know what I see being from Jersey and Corrupt being from Philly. So to be fair, even though I see they get mentioned with the honorable mentions, technically Corrupt will be mentioned with those honorable mentions as well. And that means somebody gets bumped out of. I mean, well, there's a slot opened, right?
[00:07:03] The most important name that we do need to know that we'll never forget, that will always be cemented within that top five is Snoop is definitely Cube.
[00:07:16] And he's right, Nip. So that's three. And of course KDA is going to be in there. So that leaves another spot. I mean, that leaves a spot open obviously with Corrupt moving down.
[00:07:28] Now, this episode is solely about me sharing why K will, if not now, eventually be the undisputed.
[00:07:40] And it'd probably be, you gotta, you gotta look at it how when you seen LeBron finally pass Kareem, some possibility that we'll never see this again.
[00:07:56] And that's what will make him. Now, I'm not saying that basketball and hip hop should be judged the same. So don't take this as a reason why LeBron should be number one over Jordan, because I literally just said there's not one goat to me, okay? It's just preference. Some niggas prefer mj, some lbj, and others Kobe.
[00:08:18] So do what you will with that. But as far as hip hop, it always has been judged slightly different and it's a lot more biased when it comes to the music and the regions versus basketball players and basketball teams. Yeah, my Lakers might get a lot of criticism, a lot of hate from other fans and stuff like that, but that's normal because the rivalries has been set in stone before. A lot of people were born and we're just, we're regional. Like that's what we are, you know that. Are there Boston fans out here?
[00:08:55] Probably somewhere.
[00:08:57] But you know, this is, this is California between the Bay and la, bro. You're gonna have a lot of Lakers, Golden State, Raiders, Niners, you know, is you're gonna get a lot of Dodgers, Padres, you don't get a lot of that. You don't get a lot of that. Even Chargers, Chargers got fan bases in LA and in. Still in San Diego.
[00:09:22] And that's what we are. That's the big. Those are, those are, those are the games right there. You know what I'm saying? That's what it is and is normal, you know.
[00:09:33] Now when it comes to this, when it comes to this, hip hop is different because if you live in. Listen to last week's show I'm pretty much talking about how a nigger from Compton and they not gon. When I say they. Anytime I say they just know it's the east coast, maybe New York more than anybody, right? Because even the other cats from the other. From the other cities and states are saying, nah, nigga, you not just saying, like, don't just say the East Coast. You just gotta say New York. That's the one y'all got a problem with, right? And it's not a problem. I hate to say it that way. And yes, with those out there in the back of the classroom, take your hoodies off and look at me when I say this. We're not talking about all New York fans. That's stupid. We don't. I'm a person that don't like to say everybody are all, you know what I'm saying? We know that it's not all. We know that's not everybody. So I understand that. But for the simple fact that we've seen this, we've been the same, the message has been the same since the 90s. I should say early. I mean late 80s, early 90s, you know what I'm saying? West coast didn't get. They just do. Felt like they never got. They just do. And we still here talking about it from Ice Cube saying we used to respect y'all niggas, you know what I'm saying? All y'all did was criticize the way we rap. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You fast forward Kendrick told y'all, hey, I know n'like the West Coast, I'm fine with it. I press the line with it in 2024, you know what I'm saying? So it's not, are we making stuff up? We. They the industry saying we making stuff up. 12cow they saying that we whine. We saying too much, you know what I'm saying? But this is also the era where everybody, everybody gets to complain, everybody gets to whine, everybody gets. And it's just a softer time these days, you know what I'm saying? That's irrelevant. Let's get back to it. Anyhow, the point I was making on the last episode was that if you want to say the crown is going to be held between Jay Z and the Nas, they're going to give it to Jay, you know what I'm saying? If Big was still here, it'll probably be between Big and Jay. But Big is no longer here, no longer with us. May he rest in peace. So Jay Z is the guy.
[00:11:59] If you take Jay Z out of that equation, you just leave Nas, and you can put anybody from the West Coast. Matter of fact, you can put the whole west coast up against Nas. They will not. They will not allow that crown to touch anybody on the west coast before it touches Nas.
[00:12:17] That's a fact. That's a fact. I've. I've heard niggas say, hey, Kendrick could never be the best because he doesn't have an album better than Life After Death.
[00:12:30] That's what they said. And it's like, we supposed to. We supposed to roll with that because they from New York and from Brooklyn.
[00:12:39] That's what it is.
[00:12:41] And the reason why we say something now is because you don't hear niggas in Compton saying, oh, n. We got that. We'll never like no Big don't have an album better than. We don't even. We don't even get down that way. Sure enough, you're gonna find some on the west coast that just don't listen to east coast rap. That's just what it is. And you're gonna find some on the. On the east coast that just don't. With west coast rap, you know, and that's fine. And that is perfectly fine. But at the end of the.
[00:13:18] Is not trash, you know what I mean?
[00:13:22] And we're. We're opening, we're welcoming, you know what I'm saying? Like, the reason why 12 Cal had mentioned corrupt. Cause he's that good. And he represented the west coast so well. Same thing with Pac. Pac is extremely good at what he does and has a lot of love. Somebody said, who's one of the best Bay Area artists of all time? And a girl literally said, tupac.
[00:13:52] That's crazy, you know what I'm saying? That's why I said Tupac shouldn't even be mentioned with a region because he was a part of a couple. You know what I'm saying? That's just what it was. He was born in New York, you know what I'm saying? Went to school, if I'm not mistaken, went to a performance school in Baltimore.
[00:14:13] I could be wrong. Am I getting the city wrong?
[00:14:16] Took his talents to the Bay, came down to la. We saw a kid. Well, obviously he's older than me, but literally, you seen the journey of his life, of him growing up, seen that. You know what I mean? But yet still, he was born in New York.
[00:14:33] I think more LA people claim Pac than New York people that claim him. There's a lot. And documented. I'm talking about video documents of niggas from New York that don't fuck with Pac. It's like the way they talk about Pac is as if like they know how good he is and they're almost ashamed that he is representing the coast that they just sometimes fuck with, sometimes they don't. But because that nigga was so good but took his talents to the western conference, it's like them N. S will never forgive him for that. Like they shunned that nigga, literally, you know? Yeah. But here we go. Nonetheless, we will have to fill.
[00:15:21] Fill in at fifth spot. And no, it's not the game. And I'm sorry 12 count to disappoint you, but I don't even have the game in my top 10 talent wise. You right, you right there. Phenomenal. Nothing short of phenomenal, you know what I mean? But that's like, that's like the Western conference all star team. It's like, how did this dude get snubbed? Well, it's not quite a snub. We got niggas over here, you know what I mean? Literally, if we do it all time, and I hate to use my team, but we probably got the best team to do this.
[00:15:58] Shout out to Sean, who's from Chicago. And I remember we had. We had this thing where in 2K we was.
[00:16:09] We were playing the all time Lakers versus the all time Chicago Bulls.
[00:16:16] And that bag, bro, that's a deep bag we got over there. That's. Do you realize I gotta sit niggas on the bench? You do understand that, right? You do understand that? I'll have Paul Gasol coming off the bench or even a Wilt Chamberlain coming off the bench if we start talking about the all time. Jerry west is not starting, Elgin Baylor is not starting. You understand what's going on?
[00:16:42] And so that's how you gotta look at the west coast when it comes to music. Because when we say west coast, we can't just say la. We gotta mix in the bay.
[00:16:52] And for artists from the Bay area not to be represented in the top five, it's gonna be kind of crazy. And you're not about to start a war with me, you know what I mean? So who I would say, and technically, here's why, I won't say too short at the fifth spot.
[00:17:10] Because niggas gotta do more history checking. Too short was born in la, but he represents the bay. So ain't no fuss about that. Ain't no fuss about who, what side he should be on or anything like that. But for a little history story, he was born in LA and went up to Oakland when he was a young kid. Okay. That's just a little bit of history. Cause he was, you know them porn stars at Crenshaw High. Don't let that go. Come on now. Come on. But I give it to E40.
[00:17:42] I give. I give E40 the fifth spot overall, right? And that's because if you want to talk about one of the original entrepreneurs that started back in the 80s and is still relevant in 2024, outside of music mostly. But we talking about.
[00:18:05] And he had been booking shows because we all know about the infamous booking that he did for.
[00:18:12] That he was a part of with Biggie Smalls when Biggie Smalls almost.
[00:18:18] You know, y'all can go check that story out. Just check out the E40, Biggie Smalls incident and get back at me. But yeah, entrepreneur at his finest. Has been in some great hood classic movies. I've have tasted all of his wines.
[00:18:38] Very high percentage.
[00:18:41] You want to talk about some shit that gets you off of one glass? Jesus Christ. He got this one Orange Sickle. I'm not too. We was amped for it too. You know what I'm saying? He got a cotton candy one and then there's a tropicida. I forgot what it's called. It's a tropical joint that he got. Woo. When I tell. Man, that motherfucking hit, bro. I'm talking about one. I only need one glass.
[00:19:04] I mean, I'm not. I'm not gonna call myself a lightweight, but I'm not an alcoholic. So, you know, I'm like a respectable drinker. And I don't drink that much either. I definitely don't fuck with dark liquor like that. Don't care for light liquor. I don't care for alcohol at all. I got my favorite drinks, but that. And I drink more wine than anything. Now that right there. Shit, nigga.
[00:19:26] But it does have a lot of sugar in it. Wine has a lot of sugar in it, but God damn. Go get. Go get that. Go get that Earl Stevens. Go get that Earl. Trust me. And I don't get paid for this. I mean, he. He. He retweeted a couple of my wine takes and stuff like that. But I got no. We ain't got no business going on. I'm just telling you a couple of good drinks. Hit. Hit. If you trying two glasses and she taking the. My lashes off.
[00:20:00] E48 don't respond. Are you talking about nigga with his own dictionary?
[00:20:05] Okay? We talking about a nigga who don't get credit for A lot of lingo that's in the rap game. They're not going to give. They are not going to give you all that. But yes, definitely E40 at the number five spot.
[00:20:17] Um, at number four.
[00:20:22] At number four. And it's difficult to say because this is a number four. Who could be a number one? And that's definitely a Nip. And Nip was the one that Nip is. That's the emotional death in any scary movie. That is.
[00:20:40] That's the. That's. That's the dope cousin or that's the cool cousin that you ain't seen in a while. But when y'all link back up, it's like, nigga, y'all never fell off, you know? And it was a N that literally looked like us and came from the same shit that we came from.
[00:20:58] And to see him move the way he moved and things. And we all knew it was a robbery when it came to album of the year. Cause N. S is not going back to listen to.
[00:21:09] We don't need to get back into that. But it's. Whatever. Hey, we can't win. Everything, okay? And niggas chose who they chose. Whatever. Because niggas gonna start saying we complaining again. And they don't like the way we. The way we party. They don't like the way we celebrate. But we going with nip. We're going with Nip. And to some people, I mean, he got a lot of love after he passed away, which is expected. It's just. It was unexpected that he was loved in certain regions that I really didn't know about. Unless they was on some type of copying the wave type of thing. But it seemed that he got a lot of. A lot of love in different regions.
[00:21:46] Could be acquired taste for some people. That's cool. West coast is acquired taste, apparently. You know what I mean? So. But I got him at number four. That was probably one of the most emotional depths that, you know, this state has kind of, you know, witnessed, you know, so definitely for. And he doesn't have the catalog like these other artists. That's in the top five. But that shows you the impact. And the one thing that I want to bring to light during this episode that's going to help you understand how I shaped this top five is that music is just a portion of it. Because if it was just strictly music, it would be rearranged. I would have no choice but to rearrange it. But it doesn't stop with music with us. You know what I'm saying? It means Your name is everything. Your past is everything when it comes to hip hop in general. So we factor a lot of stuff in outside of the music. We not just niggas with hits. That's cool. Everybody had hits. It's a lot of one hit wonders, you know what I'm saying? But the music is not going to get you in the club alone. It's not, it's not at all. We pay attention to a lot. And we did, we, we are, we expect a lot of out of our art. If, if I will get to it, but that's who I got at number four. At number three, we going. Snoop Dogg, probably the most known cat in this world at one point in his life, if it hasn't happened, he is going to be recognized as one of the most, well, most popular, popular humans of all time, you know? Most well known humans of all time. He doesn't. It seemed like the nigga has done it all, you know what I mean? And for a person that has started his career, you know, you know, early, early 90s and we seen his physical transformation from like a young snoop to the old to unk, you know what I'm saying? And again, he just.
[00:24:12] The charisma is undeniable.
[00:24:18] Everybody knows him. Doesn't matter where he go. He's going to be recognized. He's going to be. And he had the music, and he had the music.
[00:24:28] I think one thing that has set him apart is him being likable by just about anybody. Everybody comes with a set of haters, but he was well liked. And West Coast Cass come with a little bit of boldness to him. So we know what he did. We know his stance at the award show. Hell, we seen Outkast do it too. You know what I'm saying? We did it in our type of way, but we respect that. We respect forecasts that stand up. I say what they gotta say and when we say it.
[00:25:04] Some say we probably go too far.
[00:25:07] You know, is it, is it too much? King John, 12 cal, let me know. Dolomite, maybe you might be on the other side of this. I don't know. Niggas gotta give me some type of answer eventually. Is it, am I saying too much? Is it too much bias if I say we got the best diss tracks of all time?
[00:25:25] Not like that.
[00:25:28] Where does.
[00:25:29] With that one?
[00:25:31] I said overall, that means everybody, everybody.
[00:25:36] Okay, just think about. If you, if you just. If you throw in, throw up, throw in, hit em up. Euphoria and no Vaseline.
[00:25:49] That's crazy, right?
[00:25:51] All Right. Well, hey, man, look, again, I understand. At the end of the day, west coast music, west coast artists, maybe even our. Our city, you know what I'm saying? Go up to the Bay, ain't gonna like that. For whatever reason they have. I'm pretty sure they got a valid reason. Number two, that's going to my personal favorite, the Don Dada, Mr. Ice Cube.
[00:26:20] And again, this is going back to the whole criteria thing. We never really had a criteria for hip hop because I think we are smart enough to know that whatever criteria we come up with is only going to benefit the people that you like the most. If I come up with a criteria, I can come up with the most, even most balanced criteria out there. It's still going to favor the niggas that I like.
[00:26:47] And that's just what it is. Because it's a lot of ego when it comes to sports. There's a lot of ego when it comes to music. Niggas on the east coast, in New York, they have a right and a reason to feel the way they feel. They feel like they starting a five is undeniable. Undefeated 82. And, oh, that's how they supposed to feel. Niggas love New York, and we just love to beef with them niggas, too, because it's just a sport. This is what we grew up on.
[00:27:20] This is what we grew up on.
[00:27:23] So I don't be mad. I just think. I do think it's corny when it's unnecessary. It's a lot of shit that I don't really care for, a lot of shit I don't listen to.
[00:27:33] But I'll check it out if I. If I. If need be. You know, I'm gonna tell you right now, a lot of songs that Wu Tang did, I didn't fuck with, but I respect Wu Tang Clan and every member that was a part of that motherfucker.
[00:27:49] But you don't hear me talking about, ah, well, you know the reason why, man.
[00:27:55] I think it's corny.
[00:27:57] But we get a lot of that criticism from niggas. Why I'm telling y'all, it is not because they don't. They dislike these niggas. I know New York for a fact. Don't fuck with the Bay. Them niggas can say whatever they want to say about the state of California and la, but when it comes down to the Bay Area, I seen and heard them nigga shit on E40 and Too Short. So bad. But then you'll find one and say, oh, no, that shit go up in the club. Listen, bro. The representative of the masses is the representation of y'all. There's very few of y'all that be like, yeah, no, I. With 40. Because it's the lingo. You don't with it like that. You know what I'm saying? We look.
[00:28:39] Used to walk around saying certain things that east coast said not to. Not to make fun of them. Sometimes it was to make fun of him, but not to. We just thought it was dope.
[00:28:50] That's just what it was. But everything else y'all said was a lot of that didn't cross over. All that. That is brick. Or it's a dub. No, if we said it a brick, it was literally a brick. It wasn't cold outside.
[00:29:03] And we said a dub nigga was actually $20, everything. So everything didn't cross over over here.
[00:29:13] You know what I'm saying? Dead ass. I don't think niggas from LA started saying dead ass until like a couple of years ago.
[00:29:20] And we know that's a New York thing or East Coast. I don't know who originated. So we don't say John or none of that shit that be selling up in Philly. You know what I'm saying? And Joe, that niggas be saying in Chicago. We don't say none of that.
[00:29:34] Niggas did try to. Niggas did try to get that little Louisiana accent or whatever, because we huge. Hey, there's a. There's a generation, and part of my generation too love Lil Wayne and the hot boys.
[00:29:52] That's a true story. That's what we had so much. It was something about that Louisiana connect. I don't know if it was just the two letters, L and A, but niggas love no limit. And niggas love the hot boys. They did. There's a lot of Southern artists we fuck with. Hep. I mean, you can't even. What Texas too.
[00:30:14] Between Texas and Louis. I'm giving y'all niggas LA history, dog.
[00:30:18] There wasn't. There wasn't a project, no Lemon Drop that did not go get.
[00:30:24] We got everything ran up. Hey, ran up that about. About it? Bootleg tape.
[00:30:32] I promise you. I promise. See you on la.
[00:30:37] Some.
[00:30:39] I speak for some in la, we don't be hating on y'all. We listen to all that.
[00:30:45] We listen to everything.
[00:30:47] We just like our shit. We listen to y'all shit though, too.
[00:30:52] Niggas had the same arguments that y'all was having about Jay Z and I. The same one while we talking. Hey, niggas. Is still in that East Coast, west coast beefs, nigga. No, I got Nas. I fuck with Jay.
[00:31:08] Yeah, yeah, but I get it. If it's your ball, you gonna decide when you go home with it. Number two, it's still. That's. That's going to be cute.
[00:31:19] That's going to be cute. The nigga with the baseball bat. The nigga who created a cult classic movie.
[00:31:28] The nigga who went to war with Anaconda. Pause.
[00:31:33] Are we there yet? Nigga, when you got a whole generator, the big three.
[00:31:40] You gotta watch the origin story though.
[00:31:44] You gotta. You gotta watch the origin story of Doughboy to understand why we fuck with that nigga like that. And I related to him early on because I knew that, oh, this nigga's a part of the street, but not a part of these. Like he not a part of the gang streets like that. The nigga is affiliated and around it, but he not claiming nothing. I always paid attention to that nigga. Always paid attention. When any wear certain things, especially when west side connection was a thing and they always kept it neutral. Always wore his Raiders shit. Whether a white jersey, black jersey, that nigga kept hella neutral. And then you got the Inglewood blood, you know what I'm saying?
[00:32:29] And then you got the.
[00:32:32] Your friend as a crib that you grew up with. Like that nigga. So when he made the statement, I was K D before K died, that nigga not lying. He may have said it in the old nigga term, I mean, in the old nigga tone, but that's the truth. That's the truth. The messages was delivered differently back in the day.
[00:32:54] All K does is just deliver it in a way that, well, that can be more recognized or, you know, just appeasable to the younger. To the younger audience of this generation. But the message is go over. The message probably go over 60 to 70% of people heads, which is not a bad thing. I'm not saying that niggas is just dumb. It's just that some niggas don't. They're not. They don't think of that many layers. Is that ridiculous, dog? You know what I'm saying? Most niggas go straight to YouTube to see other niggas. Other niggas is gonna break this shit down and is not about to. You know, that's just what it is. Ice Cube. It wasn't too much that you had to break down like that. It was self explanatory. It wasn't cookie cutter, it wasn't basic, but it was Digestible. It was a little bit easier to digest. But he was still on this political talk. He was on all of that. He gave you some street shit, he gave you some bobs, you know what I'm saying? And whatever his mission was, I couldn't really tell you. I haven't heard any interview where he said he had a certain mission. But I knew that he was always talking about the streets, trying to educate motherfuckers about what we went through in la, whether it was gang violence or the police. And he was on a bumper. Nigga went toe to toe with the government and shit like that. Like, come on, man.
[00:34:20] That's why.
[00:34:22] That's why. And the reason why K, that would eventually be number one overall, without any type of debate why he's number one to me.
[00:34:35] He has a lot more time.
[00:34:39] And the. In the. And the gener. The.
[00:34:41] It's just different these days. 12 CAL.
[00:34:45] The messages is being received. He shifted. He shifted the whole music industry by taking down one of the biggest cash cows in music history.
[00:34:58] He has done it time and time again. From the artistic standpoint, even if you don't fuck with it, if you have any type of a creator background, you appreciate the art, regardless if you understand it or not. But, you know, it's art.
[00:35:17] We. We don't have to sit here and talk about how Ice Cube or Nip or Snoop has given back to the city, you know what I'm saying? Nip is the only one that had. Outside of. Outside of. Michael Jackson, had their funeral at the Staples Center. That's major, you know what I'm saying? Snoop Dogg is well known around the world and has one of the most popular football leagues, you know what I'm saying? And had a few more than a few players go to the league, you know what I mean, that started in his league.
[00:35:57] See what I'm saying? I just finished telling y'all about E40 and how this is just one of their original entrepreneurs.
[00:36:07] They got his hand in everything and on top of that, has his own dictionary.
[00:36:15] Ooh. You know what I'm saying?
[00:36:19] So the reason why I said K to be there, because nobody knows what K is going to do at the end of the day, we don't know. He has proven time and time again he hasn't done anything off brand. Nothing has been off brand. Now, it has taken a lot of people to understand who K is and the way he moves, et cetera. And to know that, to know how K Dot moves is to know that you don't know exactly what he's going to do. You just know he does everything on his own terms. Everybody has some type of criticism towards artists they like and they don't like and they assume that they know certain shit because of certain moves to be made. No, I haven't seen anybody who dislike K. And for the people that do like K, predict some shit and actually go right. I heard some good takes, I heard some terrible takes.
[00:37:15] None of them shits added up to being true because we just never know.
[00:37:20] I mean, some people may have guessed the small things, like he might go on tour with sza. Voila. He is going on tour with sza. You know what I'm saying? But then, you know, you mention a little bit of opinions with conspiracies and patterns that you've seen from other artists, or at least patterns that you've seen from him. And thinking that it's going to happen again and it's like, nah, he keeps surprising.
[00:37:44] My truth is.
[00:37:47] My truth is, 12 Cal is I think New York know how dangerous K Dot is. I think a lot of New Yorkers see the elements of hip hop, the elements that they created. Kendrick has checked off all the boxes.
[00:38:05] They know what he can do. They seen what he has done. They don't know what he's going to do in the future. And they will never give him the crown.
[00:38:17] They'll never do it.
[00:38:19] Some will, but not the majority. When niggas said Jay is the best in the game, even for people who was saying Nas is or that don't like Jay, let it go. All right, cool. It's not much you can say because you know Jay is one of them. You know, Jay is a goat.
[00:38:39] You know what I mean?
[00:38:41] But Nah's latest run is undeniable. My the King Disease series is. I even like the Black Magic, but the King Disease, Come on, man, we ain't never seen nothing like that. Never seen anything like that. And you know what else we've never seen before? You've never seen a Titan 12 cal. I'm telling you this right now. You've never seen a Titan go down and lose and not want to lose like how he's losing.
[00:39:18] You've never seen that before. I don't care which beef you pull up, bro.
[00:39:24] I don't care what beef you pull up. You've never seen a Titan artist get taken down, drugged through the drug, through the streets, kicked around, slapped around, made fun of, and ultimately, ultimately, this is the one that's gonna hurt a lot of niggas hearts.
[00:39:45] He made people look at his opponent differently.
[00:39:51] That's all it is. Forget the slaps, you know, forget the tracks. Jazz Upstairs is looking at Drake differently. His fan base is scrambling right now. They're trying to find anything that's negative that they can attach to Kenny so they can have something to hold on to.
[00:40:15] That's just what it is. 12 Cal, you've seen it. It's online. Niggas is crashing out because of Kenny.
[00:40:24] Now, I'm not saying that that's one of the reasons why he should get the number one spot. Nah, I don't think so. I think Kenny should get the number one spot for the reason why I just said in the beginning, he's done a lot. He's never say what you want to say about each and every. Every album, there's a lot of people, and if you want to go the numbers route, the albums that they complain about the most is the ones he got awarded for the most.
[00:40:56] You know what I mean?
[00:40:58] The album that they don't like the most just so happened to be the highest. Well, second highest touring attached to that album, he won certain awards that niggas don't really get that often for certain albums. And then he puts out an album that shakes up the world where either you fuck with it or you don't. Now you got niggas online arguing about the word mid and what it meant and what it means. Now because of K.
[00:41:40] Now you got niggas cracking a voice and almost crying in Twitter spaces because they saying, the deed that Drake is trying to do, we should all get behind and help him. This is what KDOT did to you. Because if this battle doesn't happen, then we're not talking about no petitions, none of that shit. No lawsuit, no potential lawsuit, none of this. Drake is still trying, probably dropping some shit. All the. All those tracks that he dropped that flopped and flopped by his standards. We are. We're saying. And we're. When we. When I say that, I'm talking about impact wise, maybe the numbers wise. That no Face shit is probably cleaning up. That shit over here. Came and went now.
[00:42:31] It did, though. I mean, just be honest about it. It did come and go for a track like Drake. I mean, for a trick that, a track that Drake has put a video behind, it usually goes crazy. Doesn't matter if I like it or not. This shit is gonna go up. That has come and go is come and go.
[00:42:55] So that's why 12 Cal. That's why. Because he took down a titan and created hip hop history. You've never seen anybody do a pop out.
[00:43:10] You understand what I'm saying? And then went along and said, all right, I'm gonna put out a couple of songs for the Grammys, and guess what? In that same month, perform at the Super Bowl.
[00:43:27] I don't want to make this about accolades. I'm just telling you about the run that has never been seen before.
[00:43:35] Since May 4, it has been nonstop. Kendrick. Yeah, we had shit in between.
[00:43:44] We had other artists to flourish. The west coast has been dropping shit all year.
[00:43:52] Cause Tyler the Creator is gonna make a case for why he should be a top 10 West coast artist of all time.
[00:44:01] Why fucking not?
[00:44:03] And it's not a nigga from another state that can debate that one.
[00:44:09] And I'm sorry, 12 Cal. I'm sorry, King Germ, but we all share this space with ignorant hip hop takes.
[00:44:18] And I just can't debate with certain niggas.
[00:44:23] I can listen to 12 Cal break down the top five all day. I can listen to the criticism of King Jern all day. But it's a certain amount of niggas that sit in the same spots with some of the worst takes. It's like they don't know how to criticize niggas that they don't like. It's like they don't know how because they keep saying shit like, no, I fuck with K. But I thought, do they actually listen to the records? We don't, nigga. We see y'all make backhand compliments popular.
[00:45:00] It be right there. Just think about it. Sit there for a second and think about where you're from.
[00:45:07] How many times have you seen a from. From the west coast say something negative about y'all? We don't even be thinking about y'all like that.
[00:45:17] Everything is generic.
[00:45:20] Everything.
[00:45:22] But I get it. I get it. Because the Dallas Cowboys get shitted on every year. I'm probably in the top five of niggas that on Dallas Cowboys, right? But it's because of the popularity that they get shitted on and a lack of winning behind that popularity. I understand why you niggas hate the Lakers.
[00:45:48] The Lakers have a lot of championships. That's a part of a city that has great weather, has. I get it. Cause you're going to dislike certain places. That's like me saying, man, I don't fuck with Miami. These motherfuckers got got. You know, these niggas got good weather, too. You know what I'm saying? Like, this is home of Miami Vice. I'm jealous.
[00:46:15] You know what I'm Saying, I get it. Niggas hate on New York, man. Them niggas got. Now it's saying Times Square is crazy. But that's. I'm talking about from a. From a tourist standpoint, you know what I'm saying? Like, these niggas got Manhattan, you know what I'm saying? Like Central park this time the third. They probably. They say they got the best pizza between them and Chicago.
[00:46:41] Y'all handle that. Chicago. A lot of. Some of that shit ain't pizza, my nigga. That shit is a pie. Okay? It's just a pie, not a pizza, all right? In New York, don't. I don't need you instigating because a lot of you niggas. A lot of you niggas like cardboard pizza and think that shit is like super fire. Chill out, chill out. But it probably is good, though. Give me a New York style pizza. But I've also had a Chicago deep dish, though. The motherfuckers hit.
[00:47:11] Oh, they hit. I just don't like the Chicago style hot dogs. No. Hold that sauerkraut, baby. I don't need that. I don't need that.
[00:47:21] But 12 Cal.
[00:47:23] I hope this has helped.
[00:47:27] It's more than just the music. It's more than just the accolades. It's like, at some point, we gotta look at the creativeness behind everything.
[00:47:39] At some point, we gotta look at the impact and how shit was done. And then the reason why we'll never have a criteria is because of decade, different decades.
[00:47:55] It's just different. Hip hop was received in a different way in so many different decades and so many different generations.
[00:48:05] It was just different.
[00:48:09] But at the end of the day, I feel like.
[00:48:12] Because to me, hip hop is not just. Hip hop is just not a genre in music. Hip hop is our culture. Literally, the way we talk walk, the way we dress, the way we carry ourselves. Nigga, that we created a lifestyle and just called it hip hop. The music is a part of it. The graffiti is a part of it. The breakdancing is a part of it. The cruise is a part of it. The MCN is a part of it. The DJ isn't a part, is a part of it. The slang is a part of it. The way we wear our clothes is a part of it.
[00:48:47] All of that shit. You got different elements of hip hop. And tell me which one. Tell me which one. Kate. I didn't. Didn't scratch off.
[00:48:57] You had to fuck with Ice Cube. He made. He made a lot of music over there on the East Coast. He made a Lot. He made tracks that sounded like it was from the east coast, so you gotta fuck with him.
[00:49:09] And gave mad love, B. All right, we did kick down some buildings. That's our bad.
[00:49:17] But we was mad at.
[00:49:20] We was mad at the time. We was mad at the time. But 12 Cal, I'm telling you, look at, look at the trajectory of KD's career.
[00:49:34] He never, he never, he never.
[00:49:37] Niggas was saying, like the whole king.
[00:49:41] The resurgence of. Of Nas, they saying that. And this is not me.
[00:49:47] I let. I understood a long time ago that artists are humans as well. You know what I'm saying? And it was back then, before the Internet. And even in the beginning stages of the Internet, niggas had a little mystique to them. So is rumors and shit like that traveled much slower than it did this, you know, this time around, you know, like nowadays you getting instant rumors, instant anything. Nothing could just.
[00:50:17] It's bad now.
[00:50:22] Non binary person. That was Marcy that called me and she gave me her top five. She said, DJ Quick, DJ Quick, DJ Quick, D.J. quick, DJ Quick.
[00:50:32] Her favorite artist is DJ Quick. But she does agree that K is the best.
[00:50:40] Yeah, 12 Cal, again, I think it's always gonna be more than just. More than just the music. And like I said, when you look at K Dot and you look at Ice Cube, it's almost the same thing. It literally is almost the same thing. Not verbatim, but when we talk about the message, when we talk about the creativity and we talk about which right now Ice Cube will definitely have over K, which is the longevity when it comes to the music. You can. You, my friend, will have on your show one day the breakdown between Ice Cube albums and K Dot albums.
[00:51:42] And by all means, I want you to take some time on this one.
[00:51:47] I want you to run through America's Most Wanted, you know what I'm saying? Our Lethal Injection and Good Kid, Mad City section. I want you to go through all of them and just listen to them. And that's one thing that I want to point out is that go listen. And I'm not talking about 12 count. No 12 cal listen. But just in general, if anybody. Like, again, it's a hard listen for me to get through a lot of Drake's music.
[00:52:17] The reason why is he makes a lot of tracks that I don't care for. But it's not a disrespect or it's not a disc to where I say I don't. I just don't fuck with this music in general. I'M telling you why, like, it's just not.
[00:52:34] It's just. It's not for me. But there are certain tracks that I can listen to and I can understand why.
[00:52:42] It's like. It's like.
[00:52:45] It's like his. It's like his music. Just like with K.it has a certain.
[00:52:51] To me, he has like a certain. I wouldn't say a certain sound, but it's like a certain energy and it gives me. And when it. When it comes to Drake, outside of the bravado shit, it's a lot of emo shit and shit don't. It just don't sit with me, you know, Highline Bling is my shit. And then I don't know if I like any B side records. I should say that I don't know if there's any B side records. And in all honesty, I could be quite jealous of N. Who could listen to Drake equally as they listen to K. That mean you can enjoy. That's like me saying I watch basketball as much as I watch baseball. That's a lie. They give me two different type of anxieties. And highs. And highs. And most of the time that baseball postseason is gonna have my heart jumping more than the basketball. Cause we have shown time and time again that we just crazy dominant when it comes to basketball. Not as lately, but you know what I mean? I'm used to that. Whereas the Dodgers, we picking it up now, getting two World Series within what, four years. So that's different. But it's like. And then the stipulations is just different between the two sports. But yeah, I'm not. I watch basketball more than I watch baseball. You know what I mean? So for some people, they probably listen to Drake more than they listen to Kendrick. And some people listen to K more than they listen to Drake. I'm a person that listened to K more. And I like selected tracks from Drake at the end of the day. And I know he has been the biggest artist since way back when. And I know why people. Well, I don't know why people are obsessed with him, but I know why certain people like him. It's wild.
[00:54:50] But again, we'll wait on that case study. But at the end of the day, it's still an understanding. It's still an understanding.
[00:54:57] Might I add. I went through this whole episode and I'm sorry. King Germ J. Cole, he almost didn't make that episode. Big dog. Now the only reason why I'm bringing him up is just to make sure you got to hear his Name. There's nothing negative or positive I'm about to say about J. Cole. Shout out to him.
[00:55:18] But yeah, man. 12 cal. I just think K dot has a lot more in store.
[00:55:28] And I feel like.
[00:55:30] I feel like Kate. I feel like K gives us music that is somewhat similar to what Cube used to say. Cube was more Cube. I think both pressed the line a lot, especially with the visuals. K is known for his visuals. Cube as well, man. Like video for video. We can talk about that. It's a lot. Just. 12 Cal. 20, 25. Let's look this. Let's do. And shout out to my boy Marquise from the breaks. Radio. Me and him are a part of. We should be making a return. I'm gonna help niggas get back. We gonna get back to the. To the. Yeah, we're gonna get back to the pod for next year. Even if. Even if it's not for every week, we gonna have some. We gonna have to drop in and drop something with the brakes. Radio. Shout out, Mary. Shout out, hey. Shout out Marquise. But I told Marquise, like, I want to build a playlist that just has nothing but my favorite Nas and K tracks and just, you know, put it together like that and just ride. Just ride to that. You know what I'm saying?
[00:56:50] Pause if needed. My God.
[00:56:55] But now I got an assignment for you, you know what I'm saying?
[00:57:02] We just going to do an official breakdown of Ice Cube and K. Not a Ice Cube versus K or K versus Ice Cube, but Cube and K.
[00:57:15] From the music to the visuals to the creativity. You know what I'm saying? I think that would be a fun thing. So, again, I don't want to rush this type of idea or even if it turns into an episode. I don't want to rush it. It take time, and we got a full year ahead of us, brother. And you'll be headed out here or. No, by the time this one come out, you know, you'll be out here.
[00:57:40] And we still got to get my Roscoe's too, just in case. We haven't gotten Roscoe's yet. We gotta get that Roscoe's. Um, let's do that one. Let's do that one. And let's. Let's. Let's just. Let's just do that one. And probably after we finish doing that episode, you might have a different take on who should be number one. I'm perfectly fine on who you pick. I'm perfectly fine on who you keep at number one. And I totally understand just, like, how you Feel maybe you might feel like Q could never move from that spot.
[00:58:15] That's how I feel about magic. Never moving from that spot. You know what I'm saying? But can it be possible? Absolutely. That's the one thing. There's people at the top I don't feel like will never be. You know, we'll. We'll probably never see in our lifetime unless they add something or a Come out. Come. Come out of high school the same time or before Bron did and duplicate what he did at a longer pace. And we'll never see that. My nigga will never see that. So thank God we was alive to see Kareem and Braun do they thing. You know what I'm saying? And I didn't even know that I was older than a record. That's crazy.
[00:59:02] But, yeah, let's talk about that. And again, there's no rush to that because that's so many things to bring up, so many ways. Ways we can go about it. Just know that that's an idea. Bri, if you listening to this, that's like my. You know, she be jotting down when I be forgetting stuff. So, you know, have at a J book. You know, I know you don't really. You said yourself that you don't really listen to that much rap, but this might be one of those ones that, hey, you want to help us do a deep dive? YouTube is there. You know what I'm saying? Cube, K dot, that's crazy. But yes. 12 cow. I had to take corrupt off. That's one of my favorites. Had to take him off. Why? He was born in Philly, same way I was born in New York. They gotta go. They don't have to go, but they got. They can't get to that. Not to that. That is not to that mountain. That mountain is separate. That mountain is separate. Shout out to ice tea legend. That mountain is separate.
[01:00:02] The mountain is separate. And K, let me. Let me give you a reason.
[01:00:08] Q pissed niggas off. He educated niggas and he got a lot of love. And you seen a nigga dismantled, dismantle his own crew that he started with, right? Pressed the message, made his great movies, was in great movies, historical roles, the whole nine.
[01:00:29] The one thing that I say K has done is made niggas think.
[01:00:35] Yes. It was always messages Q was pushing and stuff like that.
[01:00:40] This nigga K Dot has everybody thinking, even the ones that don't like him.
[01:00:46] They have brought the word conspiracy over to hip hop just for his goddamn songs. I'm lying. I Know that somebody, somebody that say I'm doing too much is gonna say conspiracies has part of hip hop. Understand what I'm just saying? 12 cal.
[01:01:05] It's conspiracies all through this man's music. They don't know if it's a coincidence or he did this on purpose.
[01:01:14] You see, King Germ said we doing too much. We, we come up with this, we come up with that. Well, some got a stick, right?
[01:01:22] Even if one person sees nine different things, one gotta stick. If one is true, what are we mad at? What are we upset at?
[01:01:34] What is it? King Jern once told me it's not personal with K.it's the fans that make me want to dislike him.
[01:01:52] It's the, it's the fans.
[01:01:55] It's the fans.
[01:01:59] Hey, man, 12 count. I got, I got, I got dot at number one, bro. I got dot at number one. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
[01:02:12] Now where do I have dot overall? Well, I guess we'll have to wait on that one because you know, people like to throw out that recency bias. Here's the thing I want to say about that. Niggas love to say that a lot. I do too.
[01:02:31] Here's the thing about recency bias. Like what is it towards if we say GNX is a classic and niggas is calling them. Some niggas is calling them men, some niggas say they don't like it. Well, okay, okay, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool. So if I say life after death is not a classic, which I believe so. I personally believe so, then what is it or is it not which one is it? Or is it what the masses say? At this point we don't know what the masses say because the. The masses is the masses right now, or quote unquote, the masses right now saying they always knew Drake was going to lose, he didn't have a chance.
[01:03:08] But prior to that, the. So you see what I'm saying, Which one is it? Is it Ushi? Wally? Is it one mic?
[01:03:15] We need to know.
[01:03:17] We need to know.
[01:03:19] Is K good or are we overdoing it? Or is it the bots?
[01:03:25] It might be the bots is the reason why K is up right now. Is that what I'm hearing?
[01:03:31] And I gotta believe it because King Germs said the fan base is what making not like K I in here. I thought it was his five year layoffs. The ad libs, the funny voices. That's what I thought. It was.
[01:03:47] That's what I. That's what I'm. That's what I thought it was.
[01:03:51] Shout out to Tahoe. Tahoe told me he always knew Drake was corny, but he had great pops, so they gave him a pass.
[01:04:00] See, there's no hypocrisy when it comes to that.
[01:04:04] I understand that. As long as a nigga make you dance and keep you waving your hands, there's no issue. But the moment he says, be, be, be, be, be, then it's like, and here's the great one. I don't like his voice. I get it.
[01:04:23] I get it. Because if y'all ever heard Lil Wayne interviews the guy, somebody get him a sparkling water.
[01:04:33] You know what I mean?
[01:04:35] But that's why we not here to do that. We're not here to do that. Because Lil Wayne, at this point, the same who said who when they played the verse form or when they was rapping a verse for him, they was like, oh, who said that? And they said, nigga, you said that.
[01:04:56] I love hip hop, bro. I love hip hop. I just don't like. I just. We never agree where the stance of hip hop was. We just.
[01:05:08] 12th Cal got K1, bro.
[01:05:12] And before I could tell you why I have him at number one, you would definitely have to tell me why he's not number one. And it has to be a hell of a good reason. Has to be.
[01:05:25] Gotta be, man. But at the end of the day, like you said on your episode, nigga, yo, five is your five. And I'm standing on that. Yo, yo, five is your five. My five is obviously my five.
[01:05:39] And we can all just leave it at that. Leave. Leave the Fives where they at, man. Lead the Fives where they at. But I'm just telling you why. And it's not. And look, here's the thing.
[01:05:52] I don't think you can go wrong with either answer.
[01:05:55] But if I said GNX is a top 3 to get K project or album, then I don't think. I don't think too many niggas would disagree. But if they did, then y'all just proven another point.
[01:06:12] So whichever way, whichever route you go, I'm cool with. If niggas say GNX is not, then let's put. Hey, you tell me how.
[01:06:25] That's like me saying Drake don't have no classics. I don't listen to Drake albums through. You know, I don't.
[01:06:33] I don't find a Drake album the only album that I went through at the time, and I didn't even I couldn't even tell you why, but I did, because it was the first time I ever did it. The Scorpion. What was it called? Scorpion. That was the first and only album that I listened to from track one to. It was a double dish, right? I listened to everything. When he had that bullshit track with mj, with everything. You know what I'm saying? That was the only Drake album that I went through. Now I know what people are saying, well, how could you have a criticism, how could you critique or hate on Drake if you ain't never listened to his albums? Well, here's the thing. There's a lot of singles that I didn't care for. You know what I mean?
[01:07:20] And you he been on top for so pause. He been on top of the rap game for so long, you can't help but to hear some of the tracks that all his favorites like and just wasn't fucking with it. Here, here. I'm about to be as respectful as I can. Drake makes dope music, especially for his fan base.
[01:07:42] A lot of it don't. I don't necessarily care for, but I know why n with them. That's it. That's. That's it.
[01:07:50] That's it. Come three months from now, I'm not gonna be mad at Toronto. Yo, Toronto could celebrate. They have every reason. Remember when they won the chip was kind of like happy. Like, dang, that's the first chip. Kawhi. Oh. Cause of la. That's why. No wonder. God damn it. King germ.
[01:08:14] But 12 cow, that's the reason why man is out to say street politics doesn't factor into this as a lie. You know, that's the reason why.
[01:08:26] You know, Nipsey is up there. You know, it's a lot of shit that he did in the 4 and in these LA streets. The nigga. It was a lot of motivation that he put out there. If anything, he can get in that top five strictly off motivation.
[01:08:43] Motivation, dedication.
[01:08:45] But yeah, he can get in that top five just purely off of that. We don't care about everybody else thoughts about that. I mean, that's like me telling you why wherever y'all have Andre 3000, if somebody said he was number two overall and I said he should be number one, it's the same thing. Like, I don't. It's not my backyard, New York. That's not my backyard. If y'all say Big is number one, if y'all say Jay is number one. If y'all say Nas is number one, is all right. That's on Y'all. Now, my personal. If I had to make one personally, it'd probably be different from Yalls. But I'm not about to sit up here and go on YouTube and say, oh, no, this is why big should be number one. No, I'm. I don't really. I can't even lie to you. I don't really care that much.
[01:09:35] I understand why some would have Big. I understand why would have Jay. I definitely understand why would have Nas. But overall, I'm not gonna sit on my podcast and say. And then hide behind it and call it jokes. I'm not gonna on your top five in your region and hide behind his jokes. Like, nah, nah. Everybody know when the joke that you've been telling over and over again is a little bit of truth to that.
[01:10:06] That's all. That's all.
[01:10:09] And the sad part is we gonna continue to feel this way towards each other because when n is up, we gonna lean on it.
[01:10:20] We gonna lean on it. We know for a fact that it's niggas that don't want K to be that nigga. And they. It almost like the Donald Trump thing. We not going to fuck with the Democrats. Look, we not going to fuck with the Democrats. We really don't fuck with Trump either. But we rather have this because we not going to put her in. Not saying that is. You know, come on. No, I'm not going. I'm not doing that because I'm not doing the political. What I'm saying is the truth, though. No matter how she came out the gate, no matter what, no matter what she promised us, they. No, they would have came up with a reason not to fuck with her.
[01:10:57] That's what I'm saying. At the end of the day, we going to give it to this guy.
[01:11:02] I'm familiar with this devil.
[01:11:06] Shout out. 12 cow. Go check out that episode. That was a phenomenal episode. A phenomenal episode by 12cal.
[01:11:17] King Germ. Shout out to King Germ. Pardon? Saved our marriage. Go check out his podcast as well. I'll be checking out him and Britt. Talk about Brick and talk about any goddamn thing.
[01:11:34] But those. Those my heavy hitters on Fridays. 12 cow, obviously on some Sundays with the bonus content. You know what I'm saying? Shout out to 12 Kizzy. And he be on YouTube too, as well.
[01:11:47] Yeah, man, I like that. I like that episode. I hope this episode kind of helped in a way.
[01:11:53] I know this is the second week in a row we brought up, you know, K, but this was supposed to be the original one. I just wanted to talk a little bit of shit on the one that came out last week. That one could have been. I could have saved that one for next year. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, we. Back to it. Shout out to Brit. We got work to do. K at the number one. Number one spot. And, I mean, if Drake can't take him out, then who can?
[01:12:24] Look at all the Eminem fans.
