Make this more tight, yeah, or this, and it or technical and do it. It did it. It literally said it gave it, it analyzed it and said you have a strong base to da da da da da da da. And then it gave you another. I was like, who the fuck is crazy?

SPEAKER_01I don't be it's not that I don't be trying to ride for y'all girls, but it's just that I just think more logically than I think with my emotions. And I just it also makes it hard for me dating because you not finna put no bullshit on me, nigga, because I'm already up on the bullshit. So you gotta just keep it straight with me, because otherwise. Yeah, it makes it very hard for me because niggas be mad because I've because I don't fall for the hooky though.

Um the thing that I I I've learned, and maybe it's it's a uh a growth as a person because I'm so used to dealing with certain things and aspects, is that I started to understand and I was explaining to her. When you're dealing with constant things, it's even if it bothers you in private, anytime you're presented with the situation in public, don't give the other side the energy or to let them know that you they affected you in some way. So, like, even at work, when they look to get rises out of me, I can't operate in the in the energy or space to let you know that you affect me. Even if that's the case, I'm still gonna approach it as if I didn't I wasn't phased or I didn't see it.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah. You can rise above.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, because at the end of the day, even if it is a bothering me, you're not gonna know it because I'm not gonna allow you to affect me publicly. That's what they want to see. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01Hey, okay. Put that song on. You know who the hose in the room is after that song. Well, that's that song. That's how I lost my braid.
SPEAKER_03That's why I'll be in the club. Like you lost your braid? That's what we got.
SPEAKER_01You don't watch my videos. Because maybe I lost my braid in the club the other day. Don't know where that bitch is. And that's what I was dancing to. That's what I was dancing to when that braid slipped out. It's somewhere on the dance. If I think one of them kids got it, they was like, nigga, you worked the shit out that old bitch. That's E40, right? Huh?
SPEAKER_03I think that's E40. Put a home in your back.
SPEAKER_01The alarming rate. The man would be like, What's my favorite word? Be interested.
SPEAKER_02Of individual braids I see in him at anytime I go to Walmart. Nigga. It's alarming. They'd be in there fighting.
SPEAKER_03You just look down, you'd be like, what the fuck? Knott's Berry Farm was the worst. You find whole hair. Well, you're like, so you just kept going. Like fuck it. Fuck it.
SPEAKER_02That's crazy.
SPEAKER_01One art you first make fly, okay? One artist that you would love to spend the day with in the studio.
SPEAKER_02Jay-Z.
SPEAKER_01I knew you were gonna say that. Does it have to be the studio? Yes, Nick, it has to be the studio. We're talking about music. But I'm not a I don't want to. I don't care. If you were gonna make a song right now, who would you want to spend a day with?
SPEAKER_04Dead or alive? I'm just trying to have fun.
SPEAKER_01So who you want to spend a day with, people?
SPEAKER_04I'm gonna say three stacks. I want to spend a day with Maya.
SPEAKER_01Thank you.
SPEAKER_02You're gonna be doing some weird abstract shit with Andre three stacks.
SPEAKER_03Do you have the flute? Making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Like, nigga, what are we doing, man?
SPEAKER_04We ain't even rapping. I'm gonna leave the studio a whole different person.
SPEAKER_02You know what we need? Oh yeah. You're like, wait, what?
SPEAKER_03I thought we was rapping, nigga. What about it?
SPEAKER_02We're gonna take the dogs for a walk, but there are no dogs. That's okay.
Parenting, Nostalgia, And R&B Memories
SPEAKER_03Since you made it dead or alive, I'm gonna go Mac Miller. That's the nigga I would love to like sit with. I fuck with Mac Miller. Wow. He seemed like he was fun as fuck, like just in the studio. That would be somebody.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I would want to spend time with him as well. That's not my person, but I discovered that I liked his music after he passed away. And I just feel like he would have had an interesting story to tell. There would have been a bomb ass backstory in between every song y'all made. So I would I would love to spend it.
SPEAKER_02My favorite song of his and performance is still 2009.
SPEAKER_03That's a great song.
SPEAKER_02And when you hear it, and then the emotion and the state it puts you in, it's like that's have you watched uh watch The Tiny Desk?
SPEAKER_03That one's dope.
SPEAKER_02And you can see the emotion and when he's performing, I was like, that's that's a hard feat. That's an artist thing.
SPEAKER_03There's a video of him and Nipsey in the studio, and that music isn't out. And I'm like, I would love to hear what those motherfuckers came up with.
SPEAKER_02Nipsey's another one.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, like that would have been some shit where you're like and I I like that that's dope because they kept it to the vest. They said, fuck it. We just made music to make music. Like, and that's dope. Like, I love that that still happens. I don't know if it still does, but I hope it does.
SPEAKER_01Um, I think I would want to spend a day in the studio with sorry next slide. You want the I can but that's still doable. I I can't be in the studio with you. Yeah, you can. I would love that.
SPEAKER_02You rot you won't be able to read what I wrote, but yeah. That's okay. Chicken scratch. Swatter's right there.
SPEAKER_01No.
SPEAKER_02I just don't want to like disturb the table and you're like, it's in the in the mix.
SPEAKER_01It's so many artists I would want to spend a day with. Tupac isn't necessarily one of them.
SPEAKER_03Oh, if he was in the studio, Tupac would just be like, God damn it. Right, nigga, you're not done. It's song 12, nigga. Like we got one more to do.
SPEAKER_01Like, I think maybe Luther Vandros. Wow. Yeah, check over you. Well, and I'm aware of that, but I would I think just because he wants Steve, he's so full. And I'm I'm very much as tough as I am on in some aspects, I'm like a lover girl. So I love those type of songs. Shut the fuck up.
SPEAKER_03I honestly think he was a nigga like people probably don't know about. Because like when you see some of the shit he was doing, I was like, that nigga was a diva. Yeah, like he's like, I'm gonna let y'all know what I do when I get in there. And I love a good diva. Busy.
SPEAKER_01I love a good diva. So do you want to be?
SPEAKER_04I'm convinced that Michael Jackson was a thug.
SPEAKER_01He was hanging out with Crips. I heard Didn't you hear the story?
SPEAKER_03They said he told Tupac he was gonna beat his ass if he fucked over uh Quincy Jones' daughter. I was like, Oh.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh, he could probably giggle, but that nigga he probably didn't.
SPEAKER_03He probably said, I'm gonna have the Crips beat your ass.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, have you heard the actual the videos of what is a real speaking voice sounds like? It's more like it's a deep voice, yeah. But that that's just for the the the public perception. But his voice was deep. So their phone calls like hey, pop. Yeah, just so you know, nigga. Be with the Crips, nigga.
SPEAKER_01You know who this is like Michael, and that's crazy because people to be so obsessed with who he was as a person, as an artist, nobody knew who the nigga was.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. That's that's the artist mystique that I don't think anyone will ever want that kind of mystique. That shit was crazy.
SPEAKER_01Now, of course, I also want to spend the time with Chris Brown in the studio doing line in the studio, probably not in the studio.
SPEAKER_02Um, I know a skeleton at work.
Weeks, Work Energy, And Thick Skin
SPEAKER_01Oh my god. I saw your little skeleton picture. No, because he seems like okay, all jokes aside, I do love Chris Brown, but he seemed like such a fun ass person. He always doing some fun lit shit. So I feel like I would want to hang out with him and have fun.
SPEAKER_02Well, funny is I feel like he's a workaholic.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I was gonna say the studio is different, like it's lock in, lock in mode. It's not even bullshit with that shit, though. Nigga, why are you talking to me like that?
SPEAKER_01I ain't gonna talk, I'm just gonna sit there.
SPEAKER_04You just be staring at me like I do, I do feel like Chris probably go, I think Chris recorded like Pac. Yeah, we just have to get these songs done.
SPEAKER_03I put out with a 50 album 50 uh song album. Yeah, that nigga probably had 200 songs for the album. Like, god damn.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he definitely strikes me as he's an asshole in the in the in the studio, but a lot of times you have to be probably because he's like y'all need to shut the fuck up, fucking. Yeah, like he's so high. Fuck with that though. You have to be something of songs, nigga. If I could tell you how many fucking studio sessions when niggas was just talking, yeah, he's like, nigga, shut up. We gotta finish this. Like trying to record, nigga.
SPEAKER_01This this one's kind of co game. What song always gets skipped no matter what?
SPEAKER_04Right now, anything that got Drake works.
SPEAKER_02Oh, that's unfortunately true. It don't hit the same no more. But uh passion any wishbone verse.
SPEAKER_01I'm skipping already. I'm skipping Ray. Yeah, but he hit it first. Where Recko? I'm gonna give a damn. Um I feel like I'm one wished out for a lifetime. I'ma skip one wish. If I had one wish. Really? Yeah, because God. God damn, I'm tired of hearing that motherfucker song.
SPEAKER_02Trying to think what actual song.
SPEAKER_03Damn that I skip every time. That's that's cold game. You wasn't lying.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03Oh shit. There might be whole ass albums. I just I just I can't do the direct voice right now.
SPEAKER_04The whole, like not even passion fruit. I I I I I let it play into it until he starts singing, I cut it off.
SPEAKER_03I gotta look. I feel like there's something that I saw. I was playing something, and I'm like, I can't do it. I can't do it. Every time. Oh that's tough.
SPEAKER_01Give me something that you know you're gonna skip majority of the time if you can't get me every time.
SPEAKER_03Well, I'm just saying, because I skip it all the time, so I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I hate that one. What song do you hate?
SPEAKER_02Anything Iggy gives Alia.
SPEAKER_01Ah, skip skip, skip, skip. Why? Skipping, skip, skip, skip.
SPEAKER_02I fuck with Iggy.
SPEAKER_01I don't care.
SPEAKER_03Maybe two songs, but like that's crazy.
SPEAKER_02I think the fancy song is the only one I can tolerate.
SPEAKER_01I can tolerate the fancy song.
SPEAKER_04The Izzy songs I like, you don't like because it got uh two of them got Tiger, and I know you ain't gonna listen to Tiger.
SPEAKER_02I don't fuck with Tiger. That's another one.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I like Tiger.
SPEAKER_02Even though I like uh Rock City, I don't I like Tiger.
SPEAKER_01I stayed up to three o'clock in the morning to see him come to the club in Vegas just like him go, I like him.
SPEAKER_02I feel like so many beats were wasted on Tiger.
SPEAKER_01I like him. I like Tiger.
SPEAKER_02I fuck with Izzy. Say the wrong thing, you'll be hangman. Come on. It makes sense. You'll lose the game.
SPEAKER_01You're gonna pick the wrong letter.
SPEAKER_02I don't you pick the wrong letter. Then there was a line about Snoopy that he said, and I was like, Yeah, I can't.
SPEAKER_04Rebox on, I just do it, nigga. No one's gonna outdo that.
SPEAKER_03I'll skip the pack. Got my vans on, but they look like sneakers.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah, baby. Please.
SPEAKER_02Just don't ever see me going down the street, but teach me how to Dougie because you'll see me trying to Dougie in the car.
SPEAKER_04Okay. Next question. That's terrible. Go go ahead. In the club? Just what are you drinking? Like, what's he doing? He's trying to Dougie. We've all answered. That was that was whoever wrote that in the should be taken's pen.
SPEAKER_02Teach me how to order. Daniel, if you hear the story, uh that's just sad.
SPEAKER_01One album that you can listen to forever with no skips.
SPEAKER_03I got many.
Rapid‑Fire: Freestyles And One‑Liners
SPEAKER_02It's gonna sound very Yeah, it's gonna be Jay Z's the black album.
SPEAKER_01Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_04Uh it's it's gonna be Drew Hill Enter the Drew. That's a good one.
SPEAKER_03Or 444.
SPEAKER_04I fucking 444.
SPEAKER_01Really? No skips?
SPEAKER_03No skips.
SPEAKER_01If we go on with celebrities, I'm gonna say Chris Brown 1111. But there's an artist that I've been listening to lately. His name is Breezy XO, and he's out of LA, and he dropped his album, and that shit is fire.
SPEAKER_03Of course.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, I didn't think about that. I didn't even think about that. But the reason why the album is fire, and I and I hope that he does not see this, and because he does follow our podcast, and I hope he doesn't see this and think I'm dogging him because I'm not dissing him. He don't look like the songs on that album. So when I see him, I thought it was gonna be like some rah-rah gangster shit. No, that nigga is like real deep. Um, he's rapping, but it's like on like more like a mix between rap and RB type shit. Oh okay. He's a vibe, and I wasn't expecting that. I was expecting for it to be like some rah-rah, gangbanger, pussy, bitch, bitch, bitty, bitch. But his music is smooth as fuck.
SPEAKER_02I was gonna say, is he more Bryson Tiller? He's actually doper than is it more Drakey?
SPEAKER_01He's more Bryson Tiller. I I'm gonna send you his album. He's dope. I was on.
SPEAKER_04Hold on, let me say this right. Bryce, you been fucking up, nigga.
SPEAKER_01What?
SPEAKER_04I don't know, man. You got he ain't I don't know, man. That ass album didn't do it for you, man.
SPEAKER_01Anyway, shout out to Breezy X, though. His album is tight. Um, I didn't put the correlation together between him and Chris Brown's name, so I didn't even think about that. Because I literally listened to it. He sent he sent me a message in the middle of the damn night and was like, hey, can you listen to my song? And if you if you don't like it, then block me.
SPEAKER_04Oh, that's dope.
SPEAKER_02Damn.
SPEAKER_01And I was like, sure.
SPEAKER_02Like I listen to it, I don't think I'll ever say that one. I think they just look for the reason to block him.
SPEAKER_01No, I listened to it and I was like, dang, I can't even block you, bro. This shit is hard. And so then he let me know his album was coming out, whatever. So then I told him, like, hey, you know, we have a podcast, and he was like, shit. He knew that. Talk to me. I don't think so.
SPEAKER_03I like that.
SPEAKER_01We knew that because I don't think everybody always knows that that I'm on the podcast until I like post a clip. Uh and then they be like, okay, hold on. But yeah, he he his music is tight.
SPEAKER_03I wasn't saying that in a disrespectful way. I don't think it's he might have known.
SPEAKER_01He might have known. I was being married just before I don't do shit, but send the niggas to McFly no way, so it don't matter.
SPEAKER_03You just be getting a whole bunch of shit like send it over to Mick Fly.
SPEAKER_02She did send a message and I was gonna respond, and I was just like, I'll just I'll see her tomorrow. She's like, Yeah, we we haven't done a talker shit in a while.
SPEAKER_03So yeah, we haven't. We haven't.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I I just I send everything your way. Nigga, I don't know. Ask McFly. So I don't know, but everybody answered at one album, no skips. You yeah, you did Drew Hill.
SPEAKER_02Either Blueprint or the Black album. Nigga, one album, quick one.
SPEAKER_03You said 444 too.
SPEAKER_02444 too. So I mean they they can interchange, but all those three albums I can eat.
SPEAKER_03I think I got a couple on that one though, on 444. I'll say the blueprint. 444 go hard.
SPEAKER_01No, I got a couple stuff. So you Jay Z is your is your all-time. Yeah, yeah, nigga, you ain't figured this out. Yes, I did, but I just want to hear I I'm not asking for me, I'm asking for them.
SPEAKER_02And I I uh the main reason is it wasn't it wasn't like that growing up. It didn't become that until I got older and I realized you you pay a devil's advocate today.
SPEAKER_01You don't know who side you are.
SPEAKER_03Oh, I get it now.
SPEAKER_02Sorry, please it didn't become that until I got older, and his music started resonating with me more the older I got. But before that it was DMX. Uh there was a while it was Tupac, there was a while it was uh shit. Um I don't know if people remember this Shaheen. Who the fuck is that? He was he's the affiliate to the Wu-Tang clan.
SPEAKER_01It's not Tupac no more, though. You don't like Tupac no more?
SPEAKER_02It's just it doesn't really like it never related to the game.
SPEAKER_01I think you said that on another episode.
SPEAKER_02When I got older, Jay-Z's and then his longevity too, because to be in your late 50s and still relevancy, though. Yeah, because like it it still hit like he's trying, he's essentially well, I feel like the the the character Ghost was trying to be on power, nick. Like he was trying to translate from street life to the war role.
SPEAKER_04This may be controversial. While I do believe that and then there were X is an album with no skips. I feel like The Great Depression is the great better album than Then There's X.
First Albums Bought And Napster Days
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I said I was a big DMX fan when I was in middle school. So go back up and Busy Bomb wasn't telling me Busy Bomb wasn't dope.
SPEAKER_03Go back and listen to the Great Depression. He switched up completely.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I I don't I can't listen. His music don't connect with me like it used to when I was.
SPEAKER_03I like he went through his weird phase where it's just like, yo, nigga, why you trying to act like you just in the church, but you ain't? Like we know you ain't. And then they went back to like, okay, now he's rapping, but okay.
SPEAKER_01So rapping, rapping. This brings me into the next question. What three albums best describe who you are and why those three?
SPEAKER_02Are we who's who's starting?
SPEAKER_04Go ahead, McFly.
SPEAKER_01Go ahead, make fly.
SPEAKER_02Uh Friday Night Lights, J. Cole. That if you listen, especially the first end of that, it it connects to what I was going through at the same age, seven uh eighteen, nineteen. Um uh number two would be uh which is weird, but it would be uh Mr. Morale and the Big Seppers, and how at that time the the the personal stuff at home and how certain songs connect, like i everything he was extra describing in that entire album I was going through. So the uh the arguing at home to the to the the dealing with the the father time with the my dad and and him passing, like that album meant so much to me in that time because I had to fucking get through a hard time of my life on several fronts. So and um there's gonna be Kendrick Legend is uh good kid, Mad City. Um and how like him essentially lit growing up in a situation where you're not necessarily from that life, but you understand the life and trying to navigate through that life.
SPEAKER_01Okay, down there, Kevin.
SPEAKER_03Uh I'll go uh mine are probably more closer to time and stuff, but whoa Nelly. Nellie Fritato. Um you would have to listen to it and uh understand? Well yeah, I mean, yes. Because she goes on a whole lot of different things talking about youth and stuff like that and growing up and coming of age. So like that's even more the I'm like a bird thing. It's like it's almost like uh as we're speaking, self-aware type of thing. Like, nigga, I'm not staying here with you. Uh-oh. That cut off. Yeah, that one, Dick. Yeah, not that one. Okay. And then um, number two is Incubus Morning View. Because that's just a chill ass vibe. So like the whole thing is just kind of like, you know, you know how I am. Kind of representative of my chillness. And three. Oddly enough, I'm gonna go with uh another, I'm gonna go with Mac Miller again. But it's the good goad or good am. Like that album is just it's just the the fun. But there's also some shit in there where you're like, oh, that kind of is a lot deeper than you think if you don't listen to the whole if you gotta listen to the whole album, there's like a couple songs in there that's like, damn, that's a little deep. But the rest of the album is like, oh, okay, this is fun, good vibe. So representative of me, I would say. That was three, yeah, that's three.
Hype Songs From Whitney To Kendrick
SPEAKER_04Um, I don't know, that's hard, man. I don't know. False. Uh because my range of music is so wide, that's too much music. Um it's hard to nail her down to just three albums. This is difficult. Um, I'm gonna go with McFly. I'm gonna say uh Friday Night Lights. Um Friday Night Lights for me was something with that I I resonated with. Um especially the intro. Too deep for intro. Um every time I hear that song, that line hits hard, hits different every time. The good news is, nigga, you went you came a long way. The bad news is nigga, you went the wrong way. Like that, that that to me in my early 20s seemed like That was from Forrest Hills drawing.
SPEAKER_02Was it no such thing as a life that's better? Oh, it was.
SPEAKER_04Damn, I fucked up.
SPEAKER_02Love yours.
SPEAKER_03Love yours, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Um no. My bad. It's the um which I fuck with too, though.
SPEAKER_02So I think both of those albums go together.
SPEAKER_04So yeah.
SPEAKER_03That's a great fucking album.
SPEAKER_04What? Oh, I'm thinking uh the uh what's the what's the what's the Us to be in the one if you when you only want to know it. But uh yeah, so uh I fuck with Villematic like that. There's a lot of songs on Friday like that that resonated with me in the time. The college lines?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04I was in college at the time. Um I can also go uh Mr. Morale. Uh Mr. Morale happened to me uh that came out when I was in a weird space uh mentally and um dealing with a lot of personal trauma and um which kinda it kind of helped me get through shit. Um I can't tell you how many times I would just ride around on my bike with missing round and extra my headphones, just going nowhere, nigga. Just under my own motorcycle listening to Kendra Lamar, it's crazy shit. Um and then I would have to say um the the third one is um it's the fuck what's the name of the album? I think it's the third Anthony Hamilton album, and that's just strictly because the love song when it resonated with me and my wife.
SPEAKER_00That's so sweet.
SPEAKER_04I forget the name of the album.
SPEAKER_03That was good though. Somewhere off the top.
SPEAKER_01Okay, I'm just gonna go with what's currently happening in my life because I I don't know shit. That's fine in my damn childhood. Okay, so Tiana Taylor's escape room, because I don't like that. I don't give a fuck. I don't know what that nigga did.
SPEAKER_03That's the newest one, right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. To Tiana. You know why? Because it probably doesn't resonate with you because you like your wife and your wife likes you.
SPEAKER_03Maybe yeah, after Shumpered, right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah. And I was kind of disappointed because I thought he was so fine, but he was doing her so wrong. But, anyways, um, I think that that album is a breakthrough album for women that are going to a divorce that um need to hear it's going to be okay. There's life after this. And then she popped out with Aaron Pierre. So now I'm like, do I get an Aaron Pierre when this is you do not know? Is that a part of Aaron Pierre Mufasa? That's Mufasa. Aaron Pierre, that's Mufasa, yeah, baby. Um, so I'm I'm I'm like, hey, yeah. Uh that so that wouldn't we can't get you Aaron Pierre.
SPEAKER_04We might get you uh uh a guy from the south.
SPEAKER_02I mean hey and give you uh Eric Paris from Paris from Paris from Paris, California.
Dream Studio Sessions: From Jay To Luther
SPEAKER_01Close as we can get close as close. Get it as close as we can get. Um my next album that I think I would pick will probably be um Love Deluxe by Shade, because I love her. Um I think she she she speaks about love in her music, how I fantasize love to be. Who we're talking about? Helen Sade. Helen Helen, yes, the group Sade speaks about love. Yes, the way that I um imagine that it should be. So there's that. And then this this this one is like, don't ask me too many fucking questions, okay? Uh oh. So remember, I told y'all I like thugs.
SPEAKER_03Where are we going? Where are we? Oh God, here we go.
SPEAKER_01So I didn't mean like I wanted like a shoot 'em up bang bang thug. Like I wanted like a like, I'm smooth, but I could get active type of a fucking thug.
SPEAKER_04Oh, you want an RB thug? What you would say?
SPEAKER_01Not necessarily RB, but like I want you to kind of be so there's y'all ain't even gonna know who this is because this for the young folks. But um, there's a rapper. I don't know if this man's name is Zoe Osama or Zoe Osama.
SPEAKER_03You're right. I don't know this nigga. I don't know this nigga.
SPEAKER_01But his new album, Mr. Nobody, I think is that the name of the damn album? I think it is Mr. Nobody. I think that he perfectly executes what I'm talking about when I say this is the type of man that I like. Because he's he with the shit, but he also with the romance. I like that. He's a gentleman gangster. He's a gentleman gangster. And I like that. So I think that describes like what type of love I would like to have. Like, I want to, I think it comes from wanting to feel uh protected and safe.
SPEAKER_04You feel safe here?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Gravity.
SPEAKER_02Sorry.
SPEAKER_01Wait, who's saying that song?
SPEAKER_02John Mayer is white.

SPEAKER_01Be there. Right. You can do a song. Do a song for this one.
SPEAKER_04Do a song for this one. Oh shit. And how I was raised? Yeah. Shit. Mine would have to be a gospel song. Shit.
SPEAKER_03Nah, my shit couldn't. I don't even think there's a song. It has to be some heavy metal fighting in the house shit.
SPEAKER_01I don't think it's a song. So give me, give me a song. Because I don't have one either that how I was raised. Give me one that's um that just reminds you of your child, of your childhood.
SPEAKER_02What age?
SPEAKER_01Uh any age.
SPEAKER_02Busy Bones Father.
SPEAKER_01Okay, I never heard that song. What's it about?
SPEAKER_02He's essentially talking about his childhood growing up and for him a fucked up situation. Like growing up and fucked up.
Skips, Guilty Pleasures, And Hot Takes
SPEAKER_03Is that the one where he's like, whether chicken or hair, we're gonna use the same grease? Well, you're like, nigga. Holy shit.
SPEAKER_01And we are not using the same grease.
SPEAKER_02It is father, we're so scared because there is war. And he's talking about growing up.
SPEAKER_03That's on the the is it the not the gift, the one before.
SPEAKER_02No, that's fuck. Yeah, it's that one. But no, there's actually a better song would describe it as Busy Bones. Uh Nobody Can Stop. Uh that one hurts. That would make me cry. That won't be making me cry. I'm not gonna lie. They kind of go hand in hand, but yeah, nobody can stop me is the um the song that I'm thinking of.
SPEAKER_01You got a song?
SPEAKER_04Me? Silver and gold by Kurt Flan.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay. You read that Jesus, then the Silver and Gold.
SPEAKER_04No, that guy was in church all the time. That's a beautiful song. Nobody can stop, you know.
SPEAKER_01Mine is Karen White, um, Superwoman, and I know y'all probably don't know that damn song.
SPEAKER_04Why the fuck? What the fuck would you say that? I love that. My mama played that song every goddamn day.
SPEAKER_01I'll play that song now.
SPEAKER_04I need to stay with my mama, but every time she I said anytime she was mad. Anytime she was mad at my stepdad, I said, God damn woman.
SPEAKER_01The reason why that's my song note is because when I was like probably like four, that like I knew every fucking word to that song. I still do, but I knew everyone. And I would sing it, I would sing it out my front door, and my neighbor would say, Sing it, Daddy, out the door. And that was my shit. So I would go there for my claps. But I I love that song. And I literally, now that I'm an adult and again going through my divorce situation, and I hear the lyrics, now I'll be getting pissed off when I hear the damn song, but it's a good song. Yeah, exactly. And it's and and it and I just found out that babyface wrote the motherfucker. So I didn't know. Babyface wrote a lot of shit. Babyface wrote all the shit. If that nigga kept them damn songs for himself, he'd probably be neck and neck with fucking Michael Jackson because he code.
SPEAKER_04I think Babyface is above Michael Jackson because he also wrote for Michael Jackson.
SPEAKER_01I agree. He he may pay cold, baby. Ice cold. But that song, Karen White, Superwoman, is my song. Like, and then I start thinking, like, what the fuck was my mom going through at this time that we kept hearing this motherfucking song?
SPEAKER_04Look at oh my god, you just fucking tricking me.
SPEAKER_02He just made me realize that motherfucking songwriters could just AI that shit. Like, yeah, I got a song for you. Yeah,$10,000.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, right. That's scary. That's scary, man. But maybe we should use this.
SPEAKER_04I mean, see, see, that's she she would play that fucking Karen White, and then after that, it was uh Body Woman. Listen, I think I said, just lead a nigga.
SPEAKER_01I I'm I'm with her with the Karen White. If your mom listen, I'm with her with the Karen White.
SPEAKER_02Your favorite Michael Jackson song? Mine?
SPEAKER_01Ooh, Lady of my life.
SPEAKER_02Really?

The friend was the one that was talking about, and he was like, he sat there and they just processed that shit for like until the morning, trying to fit like I it hit him a lot, it affected him a lot. But it was like he looked at him as a longtime rival, but like he would have never thought Prince like would just it was he was deeply affected by it.
SPEAKER_03I think he like just it was more of a music thing, and then trying to make them be somehow against each other where he's like we don't even make the same fucking music.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they don't make the same music, but then was the two niggas with the coldest motherfucking Prince.
