We're still friends, we're still friends, We're still friends, We're still friends. We're still friends. Still. Friends. Still friends? Post Super Bowl 59, we got the Mr. Vibe worldwide, the MC of MCS host of Western Conference podcast Big Body Cisco. How you doing, Joey? And the new host of Versus US podcast. Nice. 15 year and counting UFC veteran Brad Tavares. Punching your feet, He. Doesn't watch? I'll send you the link. So Super Bowl 59 halftime show,
right? That's the hot topic of the world right now. But we gotta let them know why we had this emergency podcast. Let them know it's a big body because. So we was on social media and everyone was talking about it had their, you know, opinions, which social media is about. And then I had seen Justin had PO. It was wack. It was trash, trash. So I didn't mind Everybody else talking shit about it is when you see what, like your boys like. Then I was like, oh, I said
watch. Then Raleigh chimed in and was like, yeah, she was like, hold up. Emergency meeting emergency. What I said. Trash. Yeah, same thing. It's. Trash. No, I just put a trash emoji. Yeah, he put the trash can. Yeah. And then when Brad had chimed in too, I said, OK, Brad has his. They they didn't comment on my shit. Yeah, honestly. I was kind of hesitating too. 'Cause I went on Brad.
No, no, I was running. To Brad and then Brad going no. Not even not bro, 'cause I was like, I was like, dude, honestly, that shit took me by surprise. And This is why 'cause I I'm not a big Kendrick Lamar fan. I like Kendrick. I think he's a great lyricist, probably one of the best right now. But as far as song goes, speaking about the the current beef, I rather listen to Drake to be. Honest, don't get me wrong, I'm a Drake fan, I'm a music fan and
like I'm a Kendrick fan. I'm a Drake fan. I think where it fell for me, I started seeing all the posts about how wacky was worst ever like come on, we got to know that the halftime show is who's the most popular at the time, right? And they said Jay-Z has some kind of say in it, but not like us.
Yeah. And then we were like the beef song that just happened to be the only reason he was even, you know, thought about being the halftime show because that song already kind of took of it's a whole little, you know, moniker of its own. So, yeah, it was a diss song, but that kind of got him the opportunity to do that. What I wanted to know was, why is everyone putting it as the worst ever? Because we got to look what the Super Bowl halftime shows are, right?
They just started doing what Michael Jackson made it a big thing and everything from there. And that's like, what, 93, right? Oh yeah. Right. Because if people don't know the history behind that, In Living Color started to do stuff during halftime. That was the show back in the day with Dwaynes and they were doing something during Super Bowl halftime because back then it was just marching bands.
And stuff like Grambling State, yeah, the Super Bowl show fight, so. Everybody went to In Living Color at halftime. The NFL was like, OK, we're missing out on an opportunity. And that's how these big, extravagant halftime shows came about. Michael Jackson came up and then you have all these big halftime shows. So I see where everyone can say it has to be like the pinnacle of entertainment, right?
But I think what my gripe was was that Kendrick as an artist and as a creative that we all are, I think it was to see him take this opportunity because mind you, people don't get paid to do these halftime shows. They get paid off the exposure the. Weekend I thought they were giving like 2 mil. As a budget, they're giving a a productive budget. But Kendrick Lamar made about 450 bucks for the halftime show. Because you spent the budget. Because you spent the budget on production.
Yeah, regardless. Yeah, yeah. But you got to see what the being on that halftime show, what it got him. He got a million followers after that he got now he got he's like the hottest record, like he's selling. Like that's work. So what I wanted to say, Justin, let's sit down and say why was it trash? And we'll tell you everyone has their aspect of it. Yeah. The performance itself, first. The song selection, horrible.
The mixing of the audio. Yeah, a DJ yourself, you got to say it was horrible to start off. It was. So my take on it as far as like looking at the music wise was could he have used other of his hits? Yes, but he took the opportunity where GNX with the, you know, the Grand National everything. That's what his album is now. So as an artist, my thing is GNX right now, I just released it. I need more people to be more
aware about that. So he ran with that aspect to kind of say had the Grand National on the stage, did all the songs from it TV off, not like you know, so that aspect I can see where the IT mixed it went through, but we have to talk about like we were talking, you didn't even know it was Serena Williams when she was on cripple or whatever. But the geniusness of this beef, like don't get us wrong, we're
not Drake haters. I'm not Drake hater, but to have Serena there, to have Scissor there and the connection between them being Drake's ex genius on my part, on my opinion. Because when you're funk funking with somebody, where do you hit them at? They're ex's, right? I didn't even know they were on there because I stopped watching it. Yeah. Tell us why you stopped watching it though. But if you if you take previous Super Bowls, Usher.
Yes. Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars Rihanna Bruno Mars Rihanna Bruno Mars Brilliant dress, no dog $0.50 Rihanna. But it's it's extravagant. Sit ups come. On no my it's. My traffic is Bruno Mars, LA No. So Bruno Mars weekend, the LA Hell no. He's like performing, bro. Performing performers. That was the worst. Not even that time. So that was the worst thing I've ever seen. I walked out of that one. I walked out of I feel.
Like he's more of a performer. How you guys feel about the weekend, how you guys know how you guys feel about Kendrick 1 is how I feel about the weekend, but probably more. Yeah, I'll put it this way. I didn't even watch the Super Bowl. You guys already know I can't fucking stand the cheese. I absolutely we could come in the green spot them then hate Raiders and Niners. We were just not hating. Yeah, we. Just want to bro, everybody wants to watch the cheese lose,
right? No, I don't even watch. I was like, I never, I never even watch. And then the Zoe was like, oh, who is when they announced it in September, Kendrick, I was like, I'm not like, like I said, like I told you, I'm a big Kendrick fan. I was like, whatever. But then Zoe filled me in and she was like, Oh yeah. But apparently Drake has this lawsuit on him and if he performs. The storyline if he, if he. Performs a song. So then I was like, OK, let's see if he's fucking about it.
Now I want to see it. They grabbed your attention. It did, yeah. So you just like beefs, though You're No, you're. Just like beefs. He's a fighter. Yeah, talk. Shit, let's go I. Grew up on fucking Tupac and Biggie. Yeah, come on. And then these two fuckers ended up dead. Yeah. Who did it? Who knows? I don't know. We. That's a story for another day.
But I'm glad Brad said that the Tupac and Biggie thing, because another aspect of this thing was as a California kid, as a West Coast kid, when the beef was going on with East Coast, West Coast, I was raised on West Coast hip hop with the Tupac's, NWA's Easy ES Ice Cube. So as a California kid, see somebody on that stage. It started with Snoop and Dre when they did the one, and it so happens they did it at Sofi Stadium. So they was at home. This one, you got Kendrick in New Orleans.
So you're past the Midwest, you're almost down South, you have the East Coast. So they're not going to kind of like relate with the West Coast mentality of West Coast hip hop. So when you see Kendrick doing his thing and has his you're as a West Coast kid, you're like, this is sick. That's how I took. It So what you're saying is it's nostalgic but it sucked? It didn't. Snow but it didn't bro. It like it tapped into your childhood. We get it.
Reminds you of when he was a happy little boy. But yeah. It sucked. No way. To me it didn't. Suck, it was trash. Like looked at it to me. Why? Was it trash? Though like so you see, you can only run back and forth so, so much and rap like cool, if he was at Dre's, I'll go watch him at Dre's. That's pretty much like the performance, but there was no entertainment. It's not like a performance. Were you able to rap along or sing along to any of it? Yeah, other than.
A minor no no, but. There was. A few no, but that's that's what I'm that's what I'm saying too, is that the and, and maybe for me is because right before the halftime show, because like I said, I didn't watch the Super Bowl and I we turned it on just for the halftime and it was because I got the background story and then I was like drawn in that drew me in. And then so when he started
performing whatever. Again, I'm not a Kendrick fan, but I was like, OK. And then when he fucking kind of teased it. Oh, I wanna do your guys favorite song. But you know what? They like to sue and you know it. They're not like us playing in the background. But there was a build up before that even happened. The Samuel Jackson intro was genius. That was the best part of it. Like what? Like what part of the music though?
Or the performance, other than the drama and the beef that it's I guess is the what was like about the performance, what was good. So there was a story that was told. I think when you look at it in a perspective of, OK, you knew what the beef was. How was he going to intertwine that beef with a halftime show? And he the glue to that whole thing was Samuel Jackson, the Uncle Sam. He had to.
There was a lot of hidden stuff in that thing that you start to see on social media now with like the PlayStation controller, the XS and the OS. Like all that was genius. You get Samuel Jackson to kind of say, look, for the people that might not understand Kendrick, let me tell you what this next song, what his next set is going to be about. Oh, don't do that song. But look, he's talking about like history. Then he's oh, 40 acres.
He got real deep into it like well, I don't think it went over. It went over peoples head that didn't let looked at it as saying I want to be entertained. As someone that's watching Super Bowl show, looks like Riley just said I want to be entertained. So I think on an entertainment thing where it's not Taylor Swift or a Beyoncé or a Bruno Mars, like everyone's looking for that wow factor.
But for as a hip hop fan, you got to say man, you got all these people from whites, from rich to poor, all along the stadium, all along the world, 140 million, can't beat that 140 million. Watch that on the show. 33 terrible people around it. I'm Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Britney. But listen to the names that you're saying. Those are pop. Those are pop. Stars. Had. Anybody else I think would have been better? Because they're pop stars.
When you're looking at the pop stars are automatically supposed to be the halftime show as how we grew up. I grew up hip hop and R&B. To see a hip hop act West Coast hip hop at Compton. That's kind of like the nostalgia for me to kind of say I'm glad they didn't have a Taylor Swift. I'm glad they didn't have like these big old stars that would you know you already are supposed to be as AUS get behind Kendrick kind of like put that he. Could have did more.
Let's make it simple, yeah? Would you have enjoyed a Lil Wayne halftime show better? Me, I'm not a Lil Wayne fan and that and maybe I'm West Coast bias and but it would for nostalgia for where it was at in New Orleans would have been perfect. But the only reason that people started saying oh, it should be the regional acts that should be there is because Dre and Snoop did so far. Yeah. So when they do LA they say OK, so every city supposed to have their main artist be the one.
Now it's at the end of the day who's the hottest at the time Kendrick and this Drake beef catapulted him to this pinnacle of entertainment where not like us took him there. So everybody, whether you're white, that's what's. That why is the beef so big but. Even to me, like if if Drake was to perform half time I I think it. Would have been better, absolutely. I I don't, I don't not agree with you.
He's an entertainer. But because I feel on my thing with Drake didn't come back from not like us, he still hasn't came back from it. They were doing little diss songs and not like this kind of catapulted to the beef as a hip hop beef and hip hop beef artist. It never could come to blows, never could come to like. But it's personal on what you rap about. He talked about him being a pedophile, talked about him like little girls. Like, that's part of the game of
hip hop. You want to pull every, you know, every negative thing about somebody, glorify it. And now that's the beef. Now it's my turn as Drake to go do that to Kendrick. And he didn't do that. And for him not doing that, there was like, oh, Drake lost. Drake ain't tripping. He's not he's tripping, but he ain't tripping off what Kendra's doing. He's getting the free publicity too, because everyone's like, man, what's Drake saying now? He's having his concerts.
I mean, his concerts were sold out anyway. But now since there was no like retribution or there was no rebuttal from Drake and still not to this day, that's going to be not like not like us hit him up was one like Tupac. He killed Biggie with that one, but Biggie was still able to do that. Unfortunately, they died, but now this was the hit him up. This was the hit him up of this era. Sounds like what we're saying is it wasn't that good of a performance, but it was
nostalgic. It goes along with you know what, what with your childhood, it kind of reminds. Elaborate on hot trash it. Wasn't great like what was? No it wasn't. Articulate it. No so for me. Other than the beat, I don't understand what you like. About it. But that's but that is what fucking drew me in. So like for me, if, if it wasn't for that, if it and it if it wasn't for everything, yeah, 100% I would not watch it. Yeah, I would not watch the whole Super Bowl.
And I think it's manufactured. I do think these streams are manufactured. There was a lot of fake streams and you, you got to look at this. You know it was. About to go solo and it it's the same thing they did to Michael Jackson back in the day. It's when I say it's Michael Jackson's competition.
Own all these catalogs. And right when Drake was about to own his catalog and he was about to start making a hundred $200 million a year and change the whole record industry, look what happened with UMG and Universal. But like we, we're, we're talking about like litigation. They just settled out of court. So. So for this thing, they settled. They settled. It's supposed to be a nine figure.
So you don't to me, I always think like when beef like this, you don't think Kendrick and Drake are in a room like this, like forgot him. I don't think so. They were. They were. You watch video from them back in the day they were. Too. They were close, Yeah, they was close. But it always happens like that. They're close, you know, just like Tupac big. It was quite until Faith, until Tupac got fucked Faith and then they kind of fucked everything up because it was over, you
know, whatever it was. But like the beef is like if that was manufactured to make this beef be so big that you it was so big to have Kendrick be on the halftime show of the Super Bowl. Then it it it worked its purpose. And that's why I'm saying it wasn't as trash as everyone's saying academic, some Kaiser, not one of the biggest was saying, oh man, that was filling in crowd noise. It's like it's the talk of the town, right? Now bro, it looks like they
were. Does it not look like they were? Because if you look at the footage in the stadium, quiet silence, you're talking. About the Nosebleed seats though, you're talking about the Nosebleed seats where there's people that can't even afford those that would are Kendrick fans that are probably at home watching it. Like when I was watching it, it was a vibe. Like I watched it with the comic Kings were.
Outside. And pedophile peekaboo that holds the pedophile like I don't see like as as Justin and Raleigh looking as trash. What makes you sit there and say this is trash because it's not like a Taylor Swift concert or or like what made you guys say this is trash? I like the. Like the extravagance, like the fireworks or some shit shit and. You know what? It's funny, I'm the opposite. I I just like.
Less is more. Yes, and I like that he they was able to like he for one, he fucking stood on his business, right? Yeah. He was like, oh, lawsuit aside, fuck you, I'm not seeing it anyway. And he did it, but he still did it in a fucking cool way. He could have. It was brilliantly set up. Like he could have went, you know, like whatever and made it fucking trash or whatever.
No, he didn't. I 100% think touching back to what you guys kind of just or you this is way fucking better than the weekend that was see, but see, see, and that's the difference though, And and that's the difference in opinion wise is you just said you like all that extravagant shit and I and I don't like I don't give a fuck if they're flying up through the rafters and this and that and oh, he he he was singing up here and singing out there like like, bro, I'm not
watching WWE. Bro I look at performance like so you look at only run back and forth rapping so many times. But Rihanna was pregnant on a platform pregnant. But it's all about running back and forth. Weekend was running in a glass house, but. It was. A. Glass. House, yeah. So the weekends on was terrible. Yeah, but so the last she was actually right. Right Weekend is one of them. But then I said every Madonna was numbered a fucking no. That was who was Janet Jackson? Just Timberlake.
Oh, that was a while ago. Yeah, my my usher. Rollerblades. My favorite in recent memory was Bruno and then the LA Yeah Doctor. Dre with $0.50 and yeah. That fucking hit me because that's, again, that's the era. Yeah, era. But it was a that was some of the best hits that they've put out through their whole entire careers. Like this Kendrick catalog. It was just him.
And it wasn't great. Yeah, it was usually like even for for like me. I'm not even on fucking Kendrick outside of what is they not like us and squabble up. Honestly can't even really. Yeah. 880 but there's a few like loyalty, which. Is you had to like, you had to be a fan of rat beefs to like the halftime show. I put like this like I'm not like a, I'm not a huge, I'm not a huge. That's what I'm saying. That's exactly what I mean. But it broid that that for me
hit the entertainment factor. I I like Mari, right? Yeah, What was Jerry? Jerry. I like all those shows too, but that's not halftime entertainment to me. So. So what? So when you say it's not halftime entertainment, you're your thought process on what halftime entertainment should be is extravagant, right?
So everyone's going to have their outlook on what their expectation is of what a halftime show should be because of past performances, because of the Madonnas or the Beyoncé's, the Bruno's, because it was such a big thing. Like for music, it was like, OK, that's the expectation level for everyone. When you come to this thing and say, man, they got this kid from Compton performing at the halftime show, that's so huge on a level where people ain't seeing where they only did pop artists.
They didn't give a shit about hip hop. They only did the top of the top Michael Jackson to the weekend to come say this song has so much of of influence on the whole world to kind of say, hey, we need this Kendrick Drake beef to be halftime show. They would never did this for hip hop in a million years. But to have that story that that Brad was just talking about, that kind of added fuel to the flame work it makes. It lame to me. But why? But the only what makes it lame?
Because what? Because it wasn't extravagant. No, it's just it's just we're basing it off like a petty like whack beef, like but I don't I love what J. Cole did. Like everybody talks about J. Cole was smart not attacking Kendrick like God, I think he was just like mature about it. Why am I gonna? He was mature, but in the street she was a bitch. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, at the end of the day, that's ignorant though, no?
Absolutely an adult, right so. You have to look so keep that like when you say it ignorant when you grew up, like how some of these West Coast kid grew up to see that was a dream. Like I can only speak for my himself, like for the West Coast to see a Compton rapper that I wasn't really that big of a fan of, but I knew certain or his songs and I I I supported him because he was from the West Compton. OK, he had a few good songs, but he wasn't my favorite.
Drake still has those hits. Drake's catalog is it was not. There's no, there's no denying that. Probably this year he's probably going to come out some bangers this. Year exactly you can. Play in the club. This not like. This teeny bopper will know it. Every old person will know it will know it. Yeah, I don't care how quiet it was that people say, say was in the stadium when a minor came on. For a black rapper to have rich white people say a minor that's right.
There can be evolution in his own mind because they would have never did that for anybody else. They're like, they had Trump there. He did this in front of Trump, you know what I mean? Like I don't think people are seeing with the stature. Of But that's the special engineering of social media, absolutely. And I think that's why we're here. We're here because. Even when they had 50 what we knew every word, yes. Of the whole, Because we were fans, yeah, we were fans of $0.50.
We grew up on Snoop. We grew up on, on, on, on Doctor Dre, all that. Mary J Blige. Remember all these people. That was hip hop artists, but they brought out so much people that made it good. They didn't even bring out lefty gunplay. He did crazy. So like what What I would like to see during this? What the fuck?
What I think in the perfect world, I think what people would have seen in music and being a music fan, being in New Orleans, knowing what happened with Doctor Dre, how he brought out 50, I brought him Mary J Blige. What I would have said as a music fan, it would have been dope for him to say, oh, don't juvenile come out, do back that asshole Lil Wayne come out and do Lollipop. That's what I mean. Master P come out and do make him say oh, because that's the New Orleans. Performance.
What? But he has to realize as an artist, I'm going to take full opportunity and full advantage of my platform to say this is my GNX album. Now he's got a million followers and now that album's going crazy. People would never got it. Now you get the. Stream brought out those rappers or those guys. He would have grew his following even more. Here's the problem. He can't because who was the rapper that put him on? Who? Drake, yeah. Put him on. Hey shut up.
Drake did not put Kendrick on. What's the first time you heard Kendrick Care? City mad City was the. First came out first. Butterflies was another one that he came. Care came out first, took him on tour before mad City. He ever drunk but. I knew about as a West Coast hip hop fan, I knew Kendrick. Bro I I couldn't even fucking tell you the first song I heard. Kendrick. This. This. No, he's not. He, he's not. I like his music. Yeah, you say. I just performance wise.
See, but I I want to elaborate on. Justin saying that all my. Life, all money, is the. Standard of all the previous Super Bowls all. The standard was set so high by these previous artists that never lived. So you were spoiled. In my opinion, I think this is better than Rihanna's, better than the weekend. The only ones like I said that I'll I'll put in recent years above them is Bruno and the LA SO. Do you like Keeping Up With the Kardashians? No. 'Cause it. That's what you're saying.
You want social media beef and drama over art and performance and entertainment. Oh, I'd rather have like, fucking yeah. You're saying like a Bruno Mars or something like that would have been better than Kendrick Lamar? Bruno yeah, 100%. So, but look at look at where it's at now. Like Bruno? But not the weekend, yeah. Not really. Not a weekend fan meetings that. Was a fair, actually. That was a for you, but I think everyone like Timberly Madonna. So listen to those names that
you're saying right now. Who would have ever thought A? Rapper would be in. This is so high, yes. And that's why that makes this so much dope for. Me is why? Because the. Standard was so raised so high. I just went from like this to like. Because you're standard, because you're so like, I want all these pop artists to pop off. No, but I like. I just want talent, good entertainment. You know what? I. Mean that was entertaining. The whole beef though. The whole beef and hot.
That just that is the beef made it that much better that would. Have been a dope performance for Dre's. So we're you, exactly. Yeah, no, but what I say let's start. No, so but what you guys are saying is you guys want entertainment that was nothing but entertainment. Absolutely the 100% the performance side of things in your guy's opinion, even if that was lacking. Bro the fucking entertainment is just. And the story Fucking. Blew up the fucking. Internet artistic.
I mean, I wasn't entertaining, artistic. I wasn't always seen by the rat beef at all. Yeah, I wasn't entertained. Like to me that's like as boring as like. So rat beef was just one element of it. If you're looking at the Samuel Jackson Uncle Sam take, that's a whole different element. Serena Williams, whole different element. That was lame scissor whole different. Element crip walk on your dead sister bro. That's. Crazy.
That's crazy. You have to look at for entertainment factor, for entertainment value, if that's what we're going for. That was beyond entertaining. Yeah, because it had the Drake beef, it had the political beef, it had the 40 acre, there's a new mule type thing. It all intertwined and he did it so dope that you kind of looked at it and the world is talking about it. Shit, we're here talking about it because everybody on social media, everyone on Instagram has their take, whether it's
negative, whether it's positive. Kaiser, not one of the biggest streamers, him, he's talking about it. Everyone's talking about where, you know, what is your take? So that's why when we was in the comment, I said, look, our take has to be just like everybody else's because somebody's going to agree with you guys, somebody's going to agree with us. But the fact of the matter is that performance did exactly what it did 'cause we're all talking about country. That's not a performance.
Oh, you're tripping? So what? OK, Chris. Brown would it be? Absolutely. Let me ask you guys. Well, he's a fucking performer. Yeah, that's. Right, that's what I personally thinking off of is like anytime Usher plays in Vegas, I'm there absolutely 'cause that's a fucking performance, you know what I mean? Like no matter how many times I watch it, like I started off like mid seats. Now me and Garcia's front roll
all Usher concerts. So let's look, I'm gonna say exactly what you said, Performance. You're looking for a performance when you watch the Super Bowl, are you paying like are you paying money to go see Usher or more of these other performers right. You pay to see these just in general public and I mean we got VIP a couple we'll. Pay for. So you paid for that, but did you pay? Would you? Did you? We don't have to pay for the Super Bowl show.
That's entertainment that's given already, which for free. That's why somebody's, everyone's so opinionated because it's a free show that we're able to sit there and talk our shit about whether it's negative or positive. Like Kendra did. Whack. So that's why when we were commenting on it, I was like, man, Brad sees his aspect of it. Everyone has their own aspect of how their their vision of how they seen it. You're saying it wasn't that much of A performance.
It's just trash to Justin. It's. Trash. No, no, it's just I, like I said, I see the artistic side of it, you know what I mean? But. But we needed the elaboration of why it's so trash. Performance wise. We need Justin the elaboration. So why? Who? Let me ask you this then. So who? So this year you guys would probably wanted it to be Lil Wayne, right? That's kind of the other guy was. But if it wasn't in New Orleans? Lil Wayne. Jelly Roll. There. If it wasn't, did you say Jelly Roll?
Jelly Roll is huge right now. And I get a huge moment, but is the only reason you said it should have been Lil Wayne is because it was in New Orleans? I think that's a part of it. But the catalog that hits. Yeah, right. Like what? Rappers got more hits than Lil Wayne. I love Lil Wayne but I've been to his concert. I can't understand. It's horrible. I've been to him at Dre's too. It's it's not have. You ever seen his lives look? Yes. It's not a performance.
I've been Lil Wayne. Sorry, it's not. A performance? Oh, but yeah. But I wouldn't. Don't judge him off Dre's. Yeah, because I I heard. I heard. No, I've been to Lil Wayne in Hawaii too. Yeah, OK, 'cause I heard Nellie Andres and I was like bro, is that what the fuck? But then I heard Nellie perform at All Lovers and Friends and he fucked. Killed that sounds. Yeah, that fucking lovers and friends line up Lil John TI. Oh dogs, sign me up for that over. All day, all day, that's.
What you call? Bro, that's the. Great. I'm not. I'm. Not fighting. I'm not fighting for fucking all. Kendrick is the best yes and that, like I said, I don't even really care for Kendrick. Yeah, but you cannot call that fucking trash. That shit was straight entertainment. And if and if bro, like now, OK, so you guys think it's trash, whatever the performance. But now what I want you guys to do is go back and and start looking at like just look at some of the little fucking
things that he did in it and. Did you rewatch it? The little, the little pokes that he's taking. And shit, yeah, no. I I seen it and. Bro, just the fact like so many guys nowadays in this fucking pussy cancel culture generation of ours is Oh yeah. Oh, lawsuit. OK, done. We can't talk about it. Fucking this that, whatever. Not this fucker is like fuck, we teased him. I'm gonna do it. Yeah, he teased it. He got you hyped. For it, Samuel Jackson was like, don't do it. Why'd America go?
And so he's like, no, no, I'm not gonna do it. It just seems lame, like I don't like. Why does it seem lame? I need to know this. You're I got everybody on my side. You're a pedophile. Tell them guys. Tell them pedophile. Like it's just. So where's the comeback? What's the? Where's the comeback from Drake? Why? I don't think why would you? Need a comeback? It's the latest thing ever. Drake doesn't need a you're a fucking still packing which. Why?
Why would you have to? Reply to Talking about. Why would you have to reply to the hater? Why would you have to reply to the haters? Just thing shit that's not true. It's. Just hip hop you have to. It's it's the art of hip hop. It's battle rap. God, they don't. They don't. This guy, everybody's so sure. They don't. They don't. He ain't shoot. Shit from everybody shooting him
for some. Reason Drake's been on the top for so long, they yeah, Kendrick came along whatever, but you don't think he's gonna end up on the. Let's let's not let's not get it twisted before not like this came out. Drake had this songs going back and. Forth has the Best Song out of the beef. What? Song, What is it? The Family Matters is the best. Song. So that was better than not like that. 100% musically. Musically. I'm a Drake fan, no. It's not producing, producing.
But listen what you? Just got a better producer, I'll give you that. But listen, what you just said, why was everyone kind of siding with Kendrick? But Drake did the same thing. He did a, a a diss record to to Kendrick. So why it was going back and forth? But now that not like this kind of went pinnacle. Now it was like, Oh yeah, no, he's not answering to him. He did answer to him because they were going back and forth and had songs going back.
But not like us was like, why didn't Drake come back from that? That's what? And like I said, I'm not a Drake, you know, hater at all. But how come he didn't come back from not like us? Because it was just too far of a hit to. He won Grammys 5 Grammys for this song. I think that for one, I think that was genetic. I mean, artists like Russ exposed it, right? Yeah. Of the pump it's. A popularity contest. Right. And the streaming and how a lot of it is fake. Most of it is. Absolutely.
They think that Kendrick's Not Like Us is the most fake stream song of all time. But it but look what it did to society. It made him a halftime Super Bowl halftime performer, right? They made him a five time Grammy Award winner for that song, right? He has Grammys before that. So So what else do you think these these other big huge corporations can influence us to
do? Anyone could do it with with influence on social media and everything that you're looking at us as what we're doing now watch the Super Bowl like everybody else and everybody looking at it. And back ten years ago, we could have never did this. Everyone just kind of kept their opinion to themselves. Now that we have social media, now that we have podcasts, now that we have all these platforms, now everybody's opinion is a solid gold, right? But you have to look at it.
If it really was just looking at it, we didn't do this right Now you say, oh, it was wack and it would go on about our day. Now that social media is making this priority #1 where it's the hot topic on all these different podcasts, all these different social media sites, now everyone has to have opinion to see who has a better gripe and who has a better solution for what we just watched. You think Kendrick is tripping off what we're talking about? Anything Drake's tripping off
over tripping on right now? No, because Kendrick is feeding into whether it's bad publicity or good publicity, whether you hated it on them, whether it was a trash performance, whether we liked it. He still did what he had to do and he's going to reap the benefits for all the things that that happened for that Super Bowl show. Who do you think is going to be next year or who? Who won? And it's in the Bay Area. It's at the Niners at Levi Stadium.
I would love if it was Drake. You know how crazy that would be? But see knowing that. Actually, because I didn't care. Like I'm a Niner fan and it's it at the Niners home. Like I was here at at Allegiant last year when the Niners lost to the Chiefs, but I was there and who who Usher would did that one because it it matched. Usher was the Adele. Because you want performance. Yeah, see, but me that I would fucking love that.
Yeah, as funny as it sounds, I would as a fan, as a fan, but I wouldn't want this is how I would want it. I wouldn't want no fucking extra special. Nothing. I just want to fucking hear her sing. And kill it. But according to Raleigh, he wants the fireworks up her ass. He wants the dolphin gonna fly it over. Fucking flying off. But being from the Bay and having it at where the Niners play in Santa Clara, of course, because we know what they did at Sofi with Doctor Dre.
So my first we all want E40, want all these Bay, but it's not going to happen because now. What if they do bring on E40? That's why I say like, if we do, he could have brought like he could have brought he. Could have brought all the New Orleans rappers, but that wasn't cool to do until Dre and Snoop did it at Sofi. It just so happened they were saying we're at Sofi Stadium, we're in LA, we got to get. Dre and Snoop, most Super Bowl performances had more than one person, right? Yeah.
They had, like, numerous. Yeah. Like it was like this guy, that girl, this guy, like. I was waiting the whole halftime show for it to jump to somebody else. For you, we're just showing like, like we're, we're talking about. Kendrick took advantage of his opportunity.
He could have easily said, you know, I want do Lil Wayne, but he was like, Nah, I still want to kind of feed into this beef, which is whack to some and whack to be Sissa and the two ex girlfriends with with her doing the crib was like that added fuel to the fire, you know what I mean? So that kind of has everybody talking where if he would have had like Lil Wayne, we would have been talking man, this
best, best Super Bowl show ever. But since he didn't now it's kind of like he was whacked because he didn't do what I wanted him to do. He doesn't have to really do what we want him to do because he's going to do what he did. And what he did was kind of say, I'm going to take this 8 minutes of what they're giving me. I'm not getting paid for it, but I'm going to get paid longevity wise, exposure wise, because everyone's going to talk about it, man.
Remember what Kendrick did, whether they hate or not, I'm not. His name is still in people's mouth. I'm talking about white newscasters, people that that would never talk about Kendrick Lamar, would never have talked about a hip hop act from from Compton. But now they're doing it religiously on entertainment. Social media is on Entertainment Tonight. But now his name is in everybody's mouth. All publicity is good publicity, because he's going to eat off that, Drake eating off that.
Not really what we're going to do. We're going to celebrate and hold up on a pinnacle. It's a society we live in, Jay. Social media beefs that that's what we're going to celebrate. Unfortunately, it's the society we live in, Like B comes, B comes from a fighting background like this beef, like if you had a beef with a fighter, you don't think him like you, you sell a fight, right?
Everyone has to sell a fight. So this is I'm glad I brought this up. So when Brad is is trying to sell a fight, you know you're going to talk shit about, even though you really don't like the dude. But you guys, you guys might like each other, but because to sell the fighter, hey, B try to sell this fight, you have to go in there talking shit about his girl. Whatever you it takes to to sell this fight as a boxer, as AUFC fighter. So but you really don't feel
like that about the dude. Hey, after he's done, you show respect to each other. And you know, even at the proposed press conference, Oh yeah, we were just saying that to sell the fight. That's exactly what this was. This is a perfect example. So bro, what if, what if, What if your upcoming opponent said Brad Tavares is a edophile? Yeah. What's your reaction to that? Brad's gonna whoop that motherfucker's ass, I'll tell you that. One, I was just laughing, yeah.
Yeah, but you're a veteran. That's. Why? I was just laughing, but what did the interview? No young, young Brad that used to when I used to see him at the club, he'd walk right in and the security tried to grab him. What the fuck you gonna do about it? Yeah, that's that's that's that's different. Different, right? Yeah, too. But that's because I grew up on fucking the fucking biggie B. They fucking shooting at each
other kid real. Bro I forget what club he's at, he's all dressed up. Brad walked in with shorts AT shirt and A and A and shorts, shorts, T-shirt and like slippers. They got to do that, you guys. Have to grab with me. He's like, what the fuck are you going to do? And he just kept walking. I was like sharing with him. But knowing that about Brad, like when you have a fight, do they kind of pressure you guys? Hey, you guys have to sell the fight?
Is that something that you guys? Not really. Yeah. I would say they always try to get something out of you when you do, you know, like right before the they air the fight and they show you talking. Yeah. And the, it's like kind of like dark in the back or whatever. That's when the, the questions they asked are prompted. Like they kind of prompt you to like, say a story trigger you. Yeah, no 'cause they're like, oh, so we want you to, how are you, how are you going to finish
this fight tonight? Or why are you, why are you better than him or whatever? Even though I wouldn't be like, Oh yeah, I'm fucking better than him, you know what I mean? Like something. Yeah, I, I wouldn't say that, but that's how they kind of lead you. And, and you have to answer it like this. So they asked also why are you better than and, and it's something you got to answer, like, so tonight I'm better than Justin because yeah, blah, blah, blah. Like, so they lead you into it, Yeah.
Yeah, that's what this society does. Like when Mike Tyson, when he came out of jail, his opponent was like, oh, this jailbird, like that's the talk because you're selling the fight. This was also selling the halftime show. Man I wonder if he's going to do not like us that sold it to people. No, 100% it did for me. That's what it was. That's the whole sole reason why I watch it. And I promise you, I promise you this. If he didn't fucking do that, I'd have been like.
Shot him right along with you, yeah. This, this, this wouldn't be here right now. We wouldn't be having this conversation. But I think it's artistic. No, I think, I think really what it is is that we just all looking at it through through different lenses, right, Yeah, like you guys for your guys. No, I look at entertainment. Yes, no.
So yeah, we don't know what. No, no, no, no. But. But again I. Love. We see and and I don't really care for them and we on the different side of the culture and all, but even on your guys side of the culture versus versus ours, like I'm also looking at it through a different lens than Cisco is, right. So for Cisco is everything he brought up the the nostalgia, the West Coast thing, blah, blah, blah. For me was more so I was just the whole thing was built on.
Oh fuck yeah. So is he going to do it? Is it? Does he have the balls? And that sold it for you? Bro what? Bro? It's like fucking, it's like being up at like fucking 2 tons. And is he going to jump? Yeah, yeah. Is he going to? Fucking jump, you know what I mean? It's. Suspense. It is suspense the build up. Then and then the literally yes. And then he kind of teased it and drew me in. I was like, oh, OK, exactly. And then I watched.
I, I understand the artistic side, but I said we're all different. I was look, I look at entertainment. No, and and again, like even like I didn't pay as close attention to like the fucking dancing and the whatever. Firecrackers. Out the bull, whatever. Yeah, 'cause I was just like, is he gonna do it? Is he gonna sing the song? And he fucking finally did. I was like, this fucker is the man now. I like him.
Oh my God. It was brilliantly set up from Samuel Jackson narrating to the white people that didn't know what was going on or to the people that didn't understand it. He was like. About the guy that crashed it and was on the car with the. With the the Palestinian flag, don't take the opportunity to go do it. It's no, because you got to look at those. I didn't. I didn't know that happened. Until I didn't know that happened. I saw on Instagram. Yeah, there's some guy. Shut out Ghazi.
Like jumped over. And every, every like, big thing like that, like, so there's going to be someone who's going to look for an opportunity. Yeah, if I'm a dancer, like, man, this is my opportunity. I'm never going to have this opportunity ever in my life again to go take a stand on what I believe in. Right. So I think when that kid jumped up on the, he jumped up on the
Grand National, had the flag. And that was dope because people that support that do it, But people that don't support, who the fuck's this kid doing that? How you guys let him do it? Now there's another talk. What was he holding up? Now you're drawing. Attention, but he didn't do. But now that he's on social media, he didn't do, even if he didn't do a good job of kind of getting his his thing now also with the power of social media, you have higher ups saying, man,
get me that kids number. I want to, you know, give him something. I don't think they caught it in the Super. I think they caught it like all the the fans that were filming in the crowd caught it because. He's not on the actual. When he jumped on the car, people thought it was a part of the. Show no. When I saw it on and the thing, I thought it was part of the show and then when I read down I was like, oh, it was like a. Protester, Protester.
But that's like saying something like say I was one of the dancers and and thing and Brad had a fight coming up. But we're like best friends and we're sitting and I'm looking. I'm like, man, Super Bowl. The big lights are on there and I have like a Brad Tavar shirt on. I'm going to use this opportunity, hop on the car, but like go to Brad's fight because you're looking for that one time and that shock value took the shock value, everything shock
value for him to say. Is he going to do it? With a flag that opens up really good like we don't. Got a lot of time because I didn't let you down. If I'm, if I'm going to streak the field, I'm going with cleats tied up. Yeah, like everybody goes with shoes. They slip. I'm like, oh, I'm going there. Cleats is on tied I'm jumping over. Oil. Oil yourself, Yeah. Yeah, oil. So. They oil push ups.
Before you go out there. And also when they security grab you slip out like I'm on one of those I'm wearing cleats, I'm planning it out you. Know, but look at what we're talking about right now, like at the end of the day you guys just take on it, me and Brad take it everyone has their own like different legs, a different lens.
The fact of the matter is it did what it's supposed to do and what you're supposed to do when you go into the meeting and say, hey, So what are you going to do for halftime show? I'm going to fucking shock the fucking world. And that's what he did. Whether it's bad or good, he did what he had to do. And I don't think it's the worst Super Bowl performance ever. No, 100% it's up there. No, but it is post. 19. 93 is top five in the last 10 years the. Last 10 years it's definitely
top five for. Me top three worst no. Top see, but you're not elaborating on that. Elaborate why you think it's the worst. The song was good. Every one of them for me, everyone was good. None. So not like this wasn't good for you I think. That song's trash. But why was it trash though? I. Lyrically, I don't. I don't like it so. Your personal opinion caused you to say this was trash? Just being a personal opinion saying I don't like this song so I'm going to say.
This thing was trash like any of the songs. So if you don't like any of the songs, yeah, it was trashed to you, right? Last 10 years. Usher, Alicia Keys, Jermaine Dupri. That was better. Lil Jon Ludacris 23 Rihanna 22 Eminem Andre Snoop Dogg Kendrick See Kendrick was on. There that no, he was on there. I didn't even. Notice that one? Tony 2 Barry G that I can think 21 on top of my head the weekend. No, that one is probably. 2020 for me. Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny.
Was fire. Nah, that was Bad Bunny. Is always dull, see. Look. Look. Shakira So look how we just said 2019 Maroon 5. Travis Spanish 2018 Justin Timberlake 2017 Lady Gaga. But listen to how he's going down the list of performers, and we're all saying, because that's our opinion. But they put on their hit, they put on their best songs. There I went. To a reggaeton rave the other week. I understand one thing that was going on but. It was dope. But it was a fucking dope.
What's a reggaeton rave? That was my first time. I mean I ever heard of it bro. Is that area 15? Is it? But everything was not in English. But we understand each other through the music. We understand each other. So, so wait. I'm glad you said that. Take it right there. You didn't understand anything that went on there, but you had a good time. But the yeah. Justin didn't like any of the songs that Kendrick did, but it was like, ah, but he was still
there. Like whether Justin liked the performers or liked any of the songs or not, it still happened. Whether you liked the rave and you don't understand, it still happened. So whatever anybody's opinion is that halftime show still happened and it'll go down in history. He's still going to get the the. So that's why I'm saying everyone has like, like Brad says, through their own lens. I'm just having a hard time thinking why it was so. It has to be personal.
Jake Well, I said it artistic wise because like I said, we are creatives. I understand it. But I look at like all the guys I just read off like there's performers. I can't. I couldn't name you the songs right that were played, but I imagine they're the ones where you see the meme on Instagram where it's like Kendra fans will look you in the eye while this song plays and tell you that it's good music.
So if you trip the. First song he opened up with was a song that what hasn't been released yet opportunity as an artist as a creative, you have to say no one knows this song so I'm going to open it up a lot of people are already saying well dude why are you going to open up with a song that nobody knows because as a creative as an artist I'm gonna say they're going to know it after this that's. The best promotion, right? Do you know what I mean? Do you have a? Song in front of 100.
And 33 million people. No, but they've got a couple of songs that slap right. OK, you don't listen to Coldplay. Did you watch? Did you watch that performance? And it slapped, right? You liked it? It slapped like like they had great energy, like it was not my type of music, but they but. You never know any of the songs. No, there's a couple, there's seen like one or two of their songs. They got like one of those like white boy songs I like.
See, it's 'cause the. One white boy song that I like. He was waiting for that song, the whole performance. I can't wait for that one song to come on. But you didn't know the rest of the songs. But it was great energy. It was good like. No, the energy is fine, but you didn't know any of the song. Correct. And I just don't think a social media beef is enough to like, get me excited like.
But at the end of the day, at the end of the day, we literally didn't have a fucking conversation about any of the other ones except this one. Yeah, because others are really good. No, but even even even a good one, there's not. There's no conversation fucking around. That's why I said. The Black Eyed Peas was they, they talked a lot of shit about that one. The Black Eyed Peas, they.
They just even Coldplay like no one on this level went to so because it wasn't available at that time, but no one was talking like the way we're talking now about anything because we just we we see Coldplay. All right, cool, let's wait for next year. We didn't really didn't have an opinion about it. You know what I mean? Unless somebody say, what do you think happened? Oh, I was waiting for that one song and it was cool. Like it wasn't.
But now we're dissecting. Kendrick from the No, no, we were, we were, we were doing, we were doing it with when? Cause Bruno Mars and Beyoncé had done it before. They did it in San Francisco, right? So they, like they were talking about like Beyoncé was the star of the show. It wasn't really. Yeah, we have been breaking it down hard for a long time. Everything. Was a positive light.
It was more than a positive light where it was like this one's put that put that right there because as it's an opinion that Justin has, which is fine, like we don't lose no money or lose no sleep off of what Justin's opinion is. Everyone's going to have it. The next Super Bowl show will probably have another discussion because there's going to be more. We'll probably have to be more integrated into it. It depends on who it. Is Chris Brown, Then we'll be like.
See, but OK, let's bring that up. If it's Chris Brown, all the domestic violence just going to come up, all the wives, Veder girls, they're going to protest. No, but but but listen to that. If Chris Brown does it, how much bad beep he's going to get from all the de naughty girls, battered women that. Arrow's done. Because Trump 2024, I don't think you can still punch girls in the face. Yeah, the arrow's still going. Punch you to be like but it was a Dope Show though. You know what? I.
Mean no writer writer next year. And you kind of touched on it. Bro. I would be sick. Fucking Jelly roll and Morgan Wallin. Something like that, that'd be done. And that's not my type of music. Yeah, I don't even like that. Would be dope. I like Jelly roll bro. Jelly. Rolls OJG bro yeah. Oh, his his concert or the the one with him? Morgan. I went to order just a Jelly
roll. Concert but listen to this conversation this is a wish list of what we would love to have there yeah but what they force feet to us and what's going to be we have to just accept it you know what I mean so. So. Jay-Z. Jay-Z. Bro, I was. I was just watching a fucking interview and Jay-Z apparently is the one who fought. Yeah, besides. He's the coordinator. He. Has that. Somebody was saying that this might be his last one or. Something that they just, they
just resigned, didn't. They there was, I mean, Jay-Z is going to have his like, like I said, there's going to be everyone's thing on it. But Jay-Z as I think as long as so Jay ZS first one I think was Dre and Snoop. That was his first one that he can be together. But if you look at it, all the ones like what was last year, ever since Jay-Z got that seat, yeah, sure, it's been nothing but urban artists, right? Let's call it what it is.
Same thing whether it's Doctor Dre, it's Snoop, Usher, now Kendrick. So now now the whites are uptight. Like dude, what are? We gonna have. White bro, you know what I mean? So call it what it is, but now, ever since now that Jay's in there, there's someone in there that that's actually bringing artists that I actually can resonate with. But I still like Jelly Roll and Morgan Wallace. But the people that's on the Super Bowl stage, I could, I was
jamming to it with my friends. People that I knew had the same vision that I had. Like if I was me and Jess were sitting there, he was like, it's transit, like Jessica go there. Because it's just a vibe at the end of the day. But I think we're going to be forced or whatever they give us. It could be whoever and wouldn't sit there and say it should have been that. But who? No one cares at the end of the day because they're still going
to get paid what they get. They don't get paid for it, but they're going to get paid and expose everything. EDM artists would end up on there. Absolutely. I could see like a TS store or somebody doing trash. Yeah, but that exactly. But we would sit there and probably I wouldn't watch it, but I'd probably go get rid of something to eat at that time. I like EDM too, but I think it. Wouldn't match the Super. Bowl. Yeah, I don't think so, but it was. EDMI think coming through EDM
with. Kendra. But check this out. Like if Tiësto was having no Avicii and they had a beef, they were like, we're going to have Avicii on this end zone and Tiësto on that. Yeah. And they're going to go. At it the only homo set. Up one of the only artists I could see, Artists, I guess you call them whatever D JS I could see pulling it off, but he's dead is Avicii. Avicii could have pulled it off. I think Calvin Harris was a part of one of the Super Bowls one time.
Steve Aoki could just cake somebody, Steve. Aoki is good too, I like him. I try to get kicked all the time and fuck I never get kicked. I'm on fucking people shoulders like fucking raising my hand. Fucking don't ever get it. But what I what I like about this is that Justin's going to have a field day to clip up everyone's, you know, opinion, opinion on it. And once it goes out, look at the comments that have come under it.
But because this conversation is had with, you know, we're all friends and we have our views, but once we put it up on social media, they're going to take a side, Oh, I'm on I'm on Cisco and B side. Oh, I'm on Riley and just aside because now we didn't put everybody on. There's a divide, you know what I mean? I think at the end of the day, that's what the society is, as long as we put up against each other.
But at the end of the day, after we're done with this, we're going to go on and still be friends and kind of do our thing. But that's what the beauty of. You got to look at the silver lining, the whole thing, whether Jay doesn't like it or whether me and B do like it in certain ways to do it, we're still going to carry on and go on with our lives. But he's just saying, I remember that conversation we had about Kendrick and now we see who's the next one. I remember we talked about that.
So I think at the end of the day, you got to look at what social media is doing to the world and what this society we live in. We're all in different aspects of it. Everyone can have their own opinion. Their own opinion, like we got a UFC fighter, we got a podcast, we got a clothing brand, we got everyone that's content creators where we can do this. Thank God we live in a country that we can be freely and do
this, to do that from there. So I think at the end of the day, I have my my my opinion about Kendrick. It was dope as like of what I seen as a kid with JC. I still don't know what JC but but it was trash, yeah. But I see the artistic side. But exactly for me, I look at like the. But this conversation was so dope. There's no. Fireworks. That's why he. Works like. We need to deal, we need to deal with a bottle rocket come out around.
Sparklers and. Kendrick's one of the best rappers of all time, and he had none of his best verses out there. I don't know. About so I don't know, I don't know at all time well. For me. Some of it Kendrick's versus especially like early 2000s and mid 2010, he's a good. I still think. That, but the flow, everything he was, he's one of the best still. A Drake fan no matter what. But for me, Kendrick, Kendrick is not even top five in my top five, but.
Who's your top five though? He's like like top 15 for me type of thing. But my top five would be so different than Raleigh's top five. My top five would be so different than Brad's top five. Old. Old school guys or? That's well, there's no newer school guys, but like like if I said somebody like sucks me being from the raised in the Bay Area and you guys be raised in Hawaii. I was always in the Bay. So I I kind of like appreciate. All who are Who is top five rappers for you all time?
Is Keek the sneak in there? No, and I'm a Bay dude and I'm a Bay and I love Keek, but he's just not a lyricist. He's like, you know, we had our high fee movement. We had yeah, he's a vibe. Exactly. Yeah, I mean, and all that stuff too. But like I think the longevity that Too Short and E 40s had in this game, I think that being from the Bay Area, you know, him being from Vallejo, too short is like 60 years old.
Everybody knows doing. Everybody cutting knows what to say, went 2. Shots, but he built that one where that that was straight out of the trunk rap where that's how I was raised to seeing how they came up. But I was also raised in the N.W.A area with the ice cubes and the Eazy's. And you know, you watched the movie where Eazy wasn't even a rapper. He was just a doughboy the Ice Cube wrote lyrics for and Dre
taught how to rap. Like how dope was that for him to still, he'd been with the top rappers and then he got bone. And then you know, they came from Cleveland. Like it's all geographic, right? You're gonna have some East Coast casts that are gonna watch this, be like those dudes don't know what they're talking about because there was raised on the East Coast. But I was, I was always a biggie fan. Even through the East Coast,
West Coast battle. I was, I sided with POC, but I was still a Biggie fan, You know what I mean? I, I feel like, 'cause we came from Hawaii, so we were more like, we just like, I don't know, I just like the music. Oh, you West Coast. We've. I know. We West Coast, but I. Remember going to Hawaii, they had such a huge East Coast influence too. When I go out there, like Wu Tang was huge in Hawaii like, but that was like, because that's what you guys were raised with.
Like when I was in Hawaii was living there. We kind of brought the Bay aspect to kind of over there. Like man, I know you guys are doing the East Coast stuff. We want to listen to the Bay over here too, where that's the beauty of it, right? You have LA rap, you have regional rap West Coast, you have down South with Ludacris and everything. You have the straight, you know,
Bun B and UGK. But that's the beauty of music where it's bringing us together where it's dope to kind of see Kendrick and kid from Compton being on the halftime show that you would only think Adele and those top pop artists would have. And that's why it was a win for me to be like, damn, that was kind of dope that a kid from CPT was on there doing what he did. It meant. And it had this song that Not Like Us is going to go down as
one of the top song. And it sucks that it's a diss record because I see the aspect of that too. But it was cleverly done in the art of hip hop, in the art of beef wrap. It was dope. Before we get out of here, yeah, who are your top five rappers of all? Time don't put me on the spot now for it. Like my top five consists of like what I just said, it's ice cube, it's Tupac, it's 40 and short. And then I have Biggie in there.
So he's he's 5. But I have my four West Coast dudes and but I was always I was raised on hip. I like tribe called quest and I so I can't really hate on the East Coast. You know who the big it was, guys? I always listen to from way back in the Brother Lynchung. Oh yeah. Rupert Minnow, right? Who are your top five rappers all the time? I can't even think of Fiverr and all my fucking like. Top 2 is probably PAC and M yeah. I'm not really even a big Eminem
fan, you know what I mean? Like, but I see what Eminem's impact was like once he got with Dre and them. That's when I kind of, oh, OK, I fuck with him. But like when Em was like straight Detroit battle rapper, I wasn't. That wasn't like my thing. But like when you put Tupac and, you know, when you're in the gym, you throw some Eminem and throw some Tupac. Like it's all different. Yeah. What about you, Riley? Who's your top five?
We can, but. You can always say like, that's why I say we all grew up on on POC Biggie. I like brother Lynch hung. I always listen to brother Lynch Hung. He was. That was dark rap. Like it was dark. Fuck. Who else is there? Who'd you go watch at Drake's right now? Like just off your list? Like who would you Drake? Like, like $0.50 is definitely up there too. And for me, yeah, 50 Cent, $0.50's dope. Drake's dope to me. Like, so who's your top five, Justin? Brought our last lovers and
friends $0.50. 50 killed. No, that's. What I said lovers like bro, lovers and friends. That's like the dream lineup. I thought 100% yeah. Do you not think the first one was fake because there was so much? Talent, they people do that like there's. I was in though, I was so bummed they cancelled it last year and I've not heard anything about. Oh no, but the remember the first one because you went to the. First one, first and 2nd. Yeah, first and 2nd. So I went to the first one too,
but the lineup was so heavy. I was like, there's no way that. Everybody thought it. Was. But then when you get there, you see the three sticks like I can't even see everybody. Do you think this is fake? And I was like, fuck, it seems fake. There's way too much talent on here.
But you look at you look at the lineup though, too, there was so much acts that are not not in high demand, but it was like, that's people we grew up on. But that's why it was like they're they're available for those type of shows. And I loved it because they all only got like 10-15 minutes and they just played their bangers. Bangers. Yeah. Back-to-back to bass. Lovers are. Friendly Fucking yes Fucking. Justin top five. Top five working.
Give me Drake, one Kanye. 2 Hold on, there's now it makes one. Now this makes sense. Kanye 2. Kanye's Kanye's cool. Wait, Lil Wayne, old Kanye or new Kanye? Old Kanye. Could not new Kanye? Lil. Wayne #3. Wow. Jay-Z #4. Jay-Z. 50 set #5. Cool, so now that we had this whole thing and you picked Drake, this makes sense why you would think it's so trash 'cause you're so hurt about what it did. I don't care about that at. All. I I would have loved good. I just like good music.
I just there are songs from Kendrick I would have loved to heard, like yeah, swimming pool like I. Didn't know that song. Like there's so many songs from it that I would have wanted to heard. Like there are verses from him that are like crazy verses. But I I like I gotta say this too, like so shout out Gino and Frannie. You know, they do a lot of stuff with Drake. So those are good friends of
mine. You know, he's the resident DJ at Dre's. So when this beef kind of happened, it's kind of awkward, right? Because you know, they're always with Drake when he comes to Spearman Rhino when whenever he comes to Vegas, Drake's always
around with with with my boy. So when this Kendrick thing happens, it kind of puts you in a position where it's like, damn, I fuck with Drake. But this Kendrick thing is kind of taking my mind if it's also everyone has their opinion, but they actually kick it with Drake. So I can see where their stance on it was like, you know, if it was my boy and somebody was talking shit about Bill, like, hold on, man, you know what I mean?
So I'd be kind of be more defensive because I personally know B. So she don't drink it all. Though I called it, I don't give a fuck. I call it how it is. Sound boy. Yeah, that's it. See, that's what it goes down to. Ladies and gentlemen. Drake's just got the best music. I mean like. It No, he does he's. Proven here he's he's got the most things you have to hear bro, he's crazy. It's crazy how like it is crazy how much fucking bangers he can
just put on there. When you're in the club, when they do play his shit, everybody. Fucking absolutely. 15 years. Absolutely, guys. Number one, we'll leave you with. Yeah, at the At the end of the day, everybody is entitled to their opinion. Me and Cisco, we like the performance. Justin and Raleigh, they did not like it, so their opinion is wrong. It's OK, You can have it. Might be wrong, but you can have it. And you get the final say when you can fight, so you know. Yeah.
And we're like, oh. Yeah, all right, we're still friends to episode one O 4. See you guys next time come. On yes. Perfect. Hell yeah. Boys, we're still friends. We're still friends. We're still friends. Still. Friends, still friends.
