What's The Plot?

WEBVTT
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:02.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:08.960
We back in always every day.
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:19.120
You know how we're coming out of the game.
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:29.600
I think we gonna you know, we gonna we're gonna have a little bit we we're gonna stop all this thing with three pieces for the listeners, viewers who've been here for a while.
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.640
We're gonna start all this thing with the pre-game warm-up.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.840
Warm things up for y'all one record at a time.
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:37.679
It'll be more than three pieces.
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.840
Sometimes we end up with a five piece, you know, six piece or something, you know.
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.280
So we're just gonna officially call this thing the warm up on forward.
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:51.520
Today we're warming things up with the records that have been in rotation for your boy as of late.
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.159
Um, we'll talk about it a little bit later when we get to the pod.
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.240
Um, but a lot of good albums out, man, on the hip hop side recently.
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.399
Um, so we're just gonna spin a few favorites.
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.000
Maybe you heard them, maybe you didn't.
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.480
So, you know, sometimes we like to go to throwback route.
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.879
Today we're gonna keep things a little bit more current for your those of y'all that ain't up to speed.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:15.760
Got big records out the gate, slaps, bangers, you know, only some of the best of the best of these new projects that is out.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.799
So, as always, as we get ready to knock this thing out here, couple earhorns.
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.920
Wherever you at, wherever you're listening from, turn this shit up to ignit levels, ignit volumes.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.000
We got record number one on the way.
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:29.200
Let's talk about it.
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.000
I'm back.
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.760
New ransom off that price of clarity album.
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.400
Feeling strong, man.
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.640
Should just make you feel like you wanna go throw some heavy weights around.
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:45.599
Unshakable.
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:50.159
One of them workout kind of records, one of the motivational kind of records, one of them feel-good joints.
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:51.920
Here that horns feel triumphant.
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:53.920
Should only produce kings.
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:54.480
Let's go.
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.560
But if you come from a place where a sudden moose swing could be a good thing, we ain't gonna do too much talking here.
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.959
We gonna let the lyrics, the lyrics speak to your nigga.
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:02.319
Hold on, mm-hmm.
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.479
I'm not outside and I don't freak with the scene enough.
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.520
Nah, what happens when the scripts get altered and then the scene is cut?
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.479
Most people love to get into character when the screen is up.
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.439
Consider those who don't get seen enough, probably seen too much.
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:24.159
Walk with it.
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:27.280
This is extremely tough.
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.520
He saw his reflection of what he seen was us.
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.439
When we was born a fail, too many abort the plan when they feed it stuff.
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:36.240
I'm not comfortable.
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:38.879
Cause I ain't after applause.
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:40.960
So please be seated when I snatch the awards.
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:41.599
Get comfortable.
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:45.759
Cause I was told I'd never matter.
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:47.039
Look how I dazzle them all.
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:47.840
Dazzling.
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.000
So what y'all chatted never mattered at all.
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:50.960
Chatterin'.
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.120
Cause shit don't matter when you matter dissolve.
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.560
Snip mattering.
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:56.000
One top of the B drop.
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:03.360
Ingin that was like volume.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.080
And try to fathom the notion that they was spinning.
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.039
They don't believe the trash that they wrote.
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.560
Then they wrap it back on the track.
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.080
Then force the laughing is broken.
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.439
You're the fuck with the hood thing.
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.240
Cause what you understand, so ain't gotta be understood, game.
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.639
What fatigue hits, but I'm tired.
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:26.159
Of rappers who tryna make you believe all it's blatantly make believe.
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.080
Confused with the aim is either you a fool or you famous.
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:31.199
It's probably both.
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.000
And the majority vote is tools for the nameless.
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.479
At least on the circus that produces all the clowns that get used for the entertainment.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:41.599
Real rap.
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:44.560
Real lyrics, nigga.
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.840
Real bars from one of the elements in the game rats if you know how you give it up.
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:49.280
I got no time to hit bags.
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:50.560
I ain't in no training look.
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.639
We just gonna cut that one right there.
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.039
As we keep on moving to another smoker.
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.919
You ain't heard that baby spot that out.
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.000
We feel it a little bit when we get to it.
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.520
Dave, one time, what up for Harlem?
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:11.599
Let's go.
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.400
Get the background from the spot before I get about the car.
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.879
Niggas in my section waiting, we gon' kick it by the bump.
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.399
Catch them doing dips and pull-ups.
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:19.519
Niggas flip you in the pump.
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.079
When we seein' me get light, my niggas get clippin' me dark.
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.439
This is flippin' to a shop.
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.279
Give me slippers spittin' when I walk.
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.199
No that snitching is still bitin' in the court.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.439
Think it different, you see choke.
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:30.959
Take a trip with your little bitch.
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:32.319
This shit expensive that I'm bumped.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:33.920
I'm gonna fish and you ain't soaked.
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:34.959
Hunger, you ain't felt.
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:36.160
Homies in the graveyard.
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:37.680
And summers in the jail.
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.160
Motion I've been having and I'm focused on the mouth.
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.480
Me and every frog they feelin' like I rollin' out in bread.
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:43.360
Shit gonna pop to it.
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.000
Shit gotta buy to it.
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:47.839
Spirits really broken in them sounds.
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:48.639
I escaped it.
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.319
Mom always hope that I prevail.
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.279
Look for a job.
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:52.800
I'm looking for coat that I can sell.
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:53.920
Fresh off the dock.
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.519
We can hit the boat, get the bells.
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:56.800
Kidnapper make a sale.
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.079
I got rope in a scale.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:58.879
We the illness.
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.439
Everything I smoke, you can smell, you can tell.
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.360
It remind you of BP or a shell.
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.759
Nigga, the last nigga, that's from an era.
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.560
Drop top, middle December, laughin' the leather.
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:09.680
Really from the projects.
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:10.959
I grew up ashy as ever.
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.439
It's either gon' be trash or big time coming up.
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.600
No lotion on the knees, still may not happen now.
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.319
Second verse, we gon' go to hold on my wings.
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:25.680
No, not hold on my wings.
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.879
Red stripe vision, I'm probably proud of my shades.
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.360
Made sure the squad prayed before we got on that stage.
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.079
Caught a body with his dress, went and got him a fade.
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.360
I got drugs, then we gon' probably exchange.
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.720
Low key quietest, kept Davy is one of the most consistent lyricists in the game.
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.319
I don't think he gets enough credit for it.
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:52.959
Show him a little love today, let's live with it.
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.720
One of the hardest workers to this nigga got projects after projects after projects out.
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:11.279
Go check it out, that price of pain.
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.040
JV's price of pain.
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:18.879
Putting out that pain music.
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:19.759
We put in that pain.
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:27.759
Talk to her, man.
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:29.600
Talk to her, man.
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:30.879
Moving things forward, man.
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.079
You know we gotta show love.
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:33.680
We talked about it on the last part.
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.399
Gave big love to Nipsy.
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.879
Nipsey we go on one of the records our favorite off of this album coming right at y'all, head tops.
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.439
So many on that project, man.
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.199
Uh it's really growing on me.
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.480
Still vibing to it, as well as the other ones we talked about.
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:51.839
We'll speak about a little bit later.
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:52.079
Yeah.
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:52.959
Let's vibe for now.
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:53.680
Nip talk to him.
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.639
Showed up to every shootout, but I ran for my fellas.
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.759
No time for those, I got a plan to get millions.
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.639
Whoever don't agree, I see you back at the buildings.
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.199
I swear I never let y'all act like a victim.
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.120
Swar never let y'all kill my ambition.
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:10.879
We won't build for the mission.
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.040
Park my colors in the back of the village.
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.519
Remember, Tony started washing them dishes.
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:16.879
It was all a decision.
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.120
Fast died, he took a part of me with him.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.199
Heart broken like my artery missing.
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:22.399
Follow you.
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.279
Whoa, whoa, whoa, we can't even do that.
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:33.439
I'm sorry, we can't show that song the the disrespect right there.
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.360
Is that a edited version we we just played?
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:38.240
Oh no.
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.240
That's a big foul on your boy.
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.399
Foul in the pregame is crazy.
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.720
Foul in the pregame is crazy.
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.519
Foul in the pregame is crazy.
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.959
We just gonna run it back from the top for y'all one time.
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:04.720
I know y'all here with me.
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:06.399
We long in the pre-part today.
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.480
We long on the warm-up today.
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:09.759
Sometimes you gotta get the joints going.
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.959
Sometimes you gotta spend a little more time prepping the body for the task at hand.
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:16.879
Whoever don't agree, I see you back in the back.
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.240
You can't always rush to it.
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:19.680
That's why I never let y'all act.
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:20.800
You can't always rush to it.
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.160
Listen, it's all a decision.
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.399
Fast daddy took a part of me with him.
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.399
Heart broken like my artery mission.
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:35.919
Fuck all of you niggas.
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.080
It is broke, they can't harvest you, nigga.
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.159
Swore a shit, it got a heart to it, nigga.
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.120
Are you swinging on you?
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:42.799
One time of being on.
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.759
Are you swin on it like a cow on you?
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.840
Oh that push it never stod.
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.399
I just could never feel the same about it.
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.840
I bet on damage ain't understanding, can't go family.
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.559
Bobby one time, man, was warming this thing up.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.080
Get those sweat going.
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:30.320
I was too busy trying to get heavy, I was like, Come along with your boy the millennial music quiet deeper.
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.919
I've been trying to live with something songs in case I died.
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.960
Every time I need something, no, I try to spot away.
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.279
So it don't get out of fit to me.
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.159
Cause I've been doing it what it did to me.
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.879
It did, we made it through the win that was beef from me.
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:10.399
Wherever you at, wherever you listen to from, thanks for checking in with your boyfriend overseas, all across the US.
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:23.600
Listen, man, as we keep this thing rocking, man, got one more for y'all from a project I'm still feeling out, you know.
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:30.480
This young lady, this woman, excuse me, she's a she's one of the illest lyricists in the game from my perspective as well.
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.000
Um that ain't a lady lyricist versus men lyricist.
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.120
That's a she's one of the nicest, you know, really been doing this for a long time.
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:38.320
Just dropped a great project.
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.240
We'll talk about a little bit later when we get to it.
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:41.919
But one of the records, the standouts.
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:48.159
Her to dropped this one on the well premiered this one kind of on the Jada and Joe podcast, gave the little snippet.
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:53.360
I would say the snippet did not even do the song 25% of the justice that it actually is.
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:54.960
So we're gonna spin it for y'all today.
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.279
Check out this black love by Rhapsody and Malice.
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:58.159
Let's do it.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.440
This beat is ill.
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.759
I just gotta be honest.
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.759
Might be one of the illest beats in a rap game this year.
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:11.679
We just vibing.
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:14.960
Open this thing up one thing at a time.
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.000
Kingdom coming with some drumming and some truth to tell.
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.559
Get to order my roots with pills and get a real.
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.799
I'm sick of BBLs, but what the hell?
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.039
Now there's more ass for these white folks to kiss.
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:26.480
Ate them licks and still exist.
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.399
I flick the bick and smoke a bitch.
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.080
Intelligence like emirates.
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:31.759
I oversee their ill intent.
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.440
Don't be a hard rock, be a gym.
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.080
L told me that I took that in, became the wind.
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.559
I blew these niggas' minds again, again, again.
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.679
Go left of how they rightest, lightest, selling bleaching cream for stuff.
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:48.720
I know they stopped.
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:49.840
They hope it's a good thing.
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.320
Conspiracies, I've yet to shake like Parkinson's.
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.799
K Parkistins, perfect, I never claim to be.
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:56.639
It rained on me, it seemed to be.
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.879
But then I see it's just tears from my irises.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:04.080
I pray for all my sisters, all my brothers in the fire is hell, jail cell.
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:06.000
Where my cousin Colette called me from.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:11.440
I sent cologne, I sent socks, I sent a cell phone and all 12 long yeah, he did them last day.
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.720
2012 picked him up.
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.320
Halfway house is my heart to tell.
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.000
Still a 94, what it do to us.
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:23.039
Cause that paint of felt like Origel, but everything else bites from us.
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.720
I feel pop, I feel collet.
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:25.840
I feel the weight of being free.
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:26.399
H steps.
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.159
Can't turn my back, home down the mind.
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:29.840
Will you understand the history of that?
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:31.519
How we adapt when the fall was dead.
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.120
One time y'all stay with me.
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:36.240
We'll get to this thing in a little bit.
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:36.879
I know we long.
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:38.720
But warm this thing up one piece at a time.
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:39.759
Let's keep this thing rollin'.
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:40.320
Verse 2.
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.720
Pray for me, respectfully, don't judge me.
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:43.519
You love me.
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.320
Black love, black love, black love, black love, black love, black, black.
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:47.200
That black love.
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:51.919
Gotta get through verse two.
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.399
Come attack with that sad, but that shit is so ill.
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.759
Lost my cousin Timmy.
00:12:57.919 --> 00:12:59.440
Alcoholics, look through all it.
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:00.960
Know the source and all the wars.
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:01.840
We fight alone.
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.200
The loans they wouldn't give us.
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:09.600
Redline districts looking for some home and hawks and visits from the other side of all the people that we lost and missing.
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:10.559
Hugs and kisses.
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:12.159
Take more time to pause and give them.
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:13.440
Cause I know pain.
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:14.559
Lost enough of them.
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.440
Inhale, light, and exhale, sun, my heat and friction.
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.919
Internal battles tweet my mind and heart.
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:21.600
She feels that I think too hard.
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:23.360
She thinks that my feelings off.
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:24.960
My ears hurt what I didn't see.
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.639
My eyes saw what I didn't say.
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.559
My actions reveal I evolved.
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.919
Saw myself in all of God, observing all the barking dogs.
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:33.679
The wise woman once said nothing.
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.279
So I learned to listen more.
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.120
The wise woman once said nothing.
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:42.080
So I embrace silence, close my eyelids, and I meditated.
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:43.519
Learn to breathe, bereat.
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:45.759
Let go of all the pain my heart gave haven.
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:49.120
Truth I face it, no matter how thin the ice, I'm still gon' skate it.
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.519
I balloon and rise above.
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:52.559
Thank God we made it.
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.000
For this love, we all a favor.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:57.679
Cousin call collect reminding me that I am still his favorite.
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.039
Thank God that he elevated.
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.200
12 long yeah, he did them last day.
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:02.399
2012 picked him up.
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.080
Had way house is my heart and tail.
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:04.879
Still a 94.
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.679
What it do to us?
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:07.279
Sometimes they all gotta get that man.
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:12.799
But everything else bites from us.
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:14.320
I feel like I feel for that.
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.519
I feel the weight of being free.
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:17.759
H death can't turn my back, hold none of mine.
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.519
Well, you understand the history of that.
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:21.279
I read death when the phone was tapped.
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.279
I live by that, so I love you deeper, no judgment.
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.159
When it comes to my peep, look, look, look, look.
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.000
Pray for me, respectfully, don't judge me.
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:32.639
That's self-love.
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:35.279
No, we all about it, man.
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.200
I pray for you, respectfully, don't judge you.
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:39.600
I love you.
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:41.360
Respect to all, but we got that black love.
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.039
We gon' go all the way through this one, man.
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.600
Sometimes they gotta beat y'all over the head top with some good shit, man.
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.600
What top of now back to play up?
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:53.039
Here's man talking, let's do it.
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.559
Rollin' me, the soul in me, it molded me, it scolded me.
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.480
What you get now is the groan in me.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.159
Game soul, not tolling me.
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.759
Heartbreak made a cold of me.
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.639
No woe is me.
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.440
It's a poll of me, it's a bold of me, it's a soldier me.
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.480
God's army, can't harm me, can't hurt me, care for me, always there for me.
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.159
Victory, cheer for me.
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.919
Mama had fears for me.
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:18.960
All sin, clear for me, crucified, spared for me, nana drop, tears for me.
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.679
That's black love, hair grease in black hugs.
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:41.919
Sunday, soul food, baptized in bathtubs, still spill, black blood, feel like flash flood, Octo Tom, Black Judge, Landslide, Black Mud, OJ, Black Glove, Sky Free, Tie Score, can't breathe, George Floyd, America's eyesore, Nolan Wells, ride for Mellow Might, die for.
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:51.279
They gon' lie for, can't just cry for man to man, father, son, hand in hand, stand is one, mom and daughter, house and record right here.
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.399
Y'all stay with a little longer.
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.919
Daddy's love, had the spoiler, so they know can't afford her.
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.080
Listen, man, we just gonna end it right there.
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.320
Air Horns, case you fell asleep on me.
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.919
Air Horns in the pundits.
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.080
We got the big energy rock of the day, big energy rolling on the way in.
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.840
Thank you for coming to join the warm-up.
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:17.600
Hopefully you broke that sweat that you needed to get your body ready for the game.
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.480
The main thing, the main attraction, the main event.
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:25.759
And so, as always, as we are back for another audio occasion, you know what time it is.
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:29.919
It is a podcast for self-starters and those willing to make the most out of any situation.
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.759
The EFS Podcast is back for episode number 85.
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:39.519
And today, on the way in, uh, we got a polarizing person providing the audio.
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:44.159
But, you know, we're rocking out because we really gotta kind of open up the talks today.
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.559
Um peel back the layers of some of this bullshit that's going on out here.
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.200
But uh on the way in, what do we got, man?
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:55.279
We got my guy.
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.200
Somebody's guy, you know.
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.840
I'm I'm leaning more towards the side recently, but we got public one on the way in.
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:10.960
Anyone who thinks that sports end of an elastic demand is naive.
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.400
I think there are ways to break the public trust.
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:20.240
I think there is a way regard for the customer that can jeopardize the customer's affection for you.
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:29.599
And I also think the language now of the I think when you have a team like the Lakers that can break the twelve and a half billion dollars.
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.240
You're operating rare.
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.079
What else?
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:07.039
Can you possibly know?
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:14.559
Is this unsustainable?
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:15.839
Is it unsustainable?
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.119
Is this gonna pop?
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:24.319
And in the process, are you wrecking the thing that was astride American culture?
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.079
The last remaining mono culture.
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.640
Anybody who I think we get the gist of it on that.
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.880
Heavy talking to Wam, but we're gonna open up for it in a moment.
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:39.359
But as always, as we get this thing rocking, let my team music run.
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.400
We got air horns in abundance.
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:43.680
A couple more for you.
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.440

Uh, so as we open things up today, fade my theme music all the way out.
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.319
I was just talking too loud over it.
00:19:52.559 --> 00:20:00.240
Um, we will open up for conversation, kind of off of the heels of our audio from Paulo Tori on the way in.
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:05.599
Um, and we'll well I'll you know I guess share my feelings on the sports bubble.
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:10.400
Uh of course, feel free to comment and share your f opinions, your thoughts.
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:15.119
Um as we peel back the layers, like I said a little bit earlier.
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:27.759
Um so from that audio, we kind of just tease what we were diving into as I'm you know taking off into that little piece of it now, but uh sports and people's feelings about them.
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:35.440
Um and I guess it's kinda been this way for a while, not that that it hasn't been some kind of controversy in sports through any kind of era at any point.
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:44.480
Um but I think that right now we're in a different place as far as where sports is compared to where it was ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty years ago.
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:50.000
Um just because uh there is so much, you know, money involved in sports and everything now.
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:59.119
Um and uh we we just heard Pablo talk about the Lakers sale and you know how it was over twelve point five billion dollars.
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:05.680
Only two years after well not even two years, I think, after it was purchased by someone else from the the bus family.
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:14.400
Um and uh that kind of sale of the team obviously is a lot of money for a lot of you know people who might be involved in it.
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:19.759
Um so that that kind of changes the the the lens on things.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:42.960
And you know, what he wrote down about the the the I guess the return on investment or just the the the blow up of the the capital that you know the the team is actually worth or the blow up of the worth of the team is like is a it's a little bit nuts to to think that, you know, in this day and age where sports is really at, you know, and that kind of goes off of the back of the the human component that he mentioned.
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:44.640
Um and that is the fans.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:55.519
So, you know, just diving into the whole conversation of like is sports a really like literally a bubble that is at one point uh going to collapse and kind of implode upon itself.
00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:18.480
Uh and I think it was an interesting thought that he you know he raised and it really got Me thinking, which is why I presented to you guys, like, damn, like, have we come so far in sports that we have kind of lost the plot a little bit as far as what sports really is, what what it represents, and now it's just controversy after controversy after controversy, so much so that fans can kind of like look at it with the a little bit of a stain on it.
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:26.960
And it's not even just the NBA, you know, with the Lakers sales, other leagues, and a couple things we'll tap into, uh, other sports in other leagues, and like I said, we'll tap into in a second.
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.880
But it I feel like it's gotten too big, you know, gotten too big.
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:47.039
And the Lakers sale is one thing and not a whole controversy behind it just because of the people that purchased the Lakers, uh, Bob Iger from Disney and uh Kushner, you know, um Josh Kushner, excuse me, Jared is the one who's the I think the older brother who's you know around the Trump administration.
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:57.440
But uh having people like that purchase the teams, which we all know billionaires kind of lean a certain way when it comes to their political affiliations and all that stuff, so that's not really surprising.
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:22.160
Um, but now people digging up like the history of the Cushners and you know how they were dealing arms to foreign countries and like stuff like that, you know, it just becomes a lot when you you put that into the sports realm where where people really just want to watch the game for something to enjoy or be a part of a team because they're you know, their city, you know, it's in their city and they support it, like I am for the Knicks, you know.
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:29.599
And my own feeling about the owner of the Knicks, James Dolan, you know, I'm vocal that I don't really fuck with dude, but you know, I do support my team.
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:36.640
But um I don't know, it just gets to a place now where it's like, again, have we lost the plot in sports?
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:44.880
And not even just the Lakers sale, there's a few other things that kind of just right now we're speaking about, which are kind of tainting the view of sports in general.
00:23:45.119 --> 00:24:06.240
Um, and uh another one is right there in the NBA, is like this whole Kawhi Leonard situation, and you know, the the things that uh have come out or not come out about that case and the investigation by the NBA uh kind of make fans feel a certain way about everything that goes on around that situation, and also like uh the these leagues are kind of pissing on you and telling you it's raining.
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:14.640
Um and the whole Kawhi thing, if you haven't been following along, you know, with him being accused or him and the Clippers, excuse me, being accused of trying to circumvent the salary cap.
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:21.039
Also, what Pablo Torrey was something that he exposed, you know, shout out to Pablo for his investigative journalism on that.
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:36.160
Um, but circumventing the salary cap to then have the player get more money, um, but then it not count against the team, uh, just because the team wants to keep themselves in a competitive standing to where, you know, that it doesn't look like they're playing that much money on the books, you know.
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:47.200
Um, and uh now the whole investigation, which started almost a year ago at this point, has now been, you know, ruled that there's no foul play by the NBA.
00:24:47.440 --> 00:25:12.960
Um, and I think that what we've seen from people like Pablo, again, shout out to him with his investigative journalism and then just things that have come out and things that have been reported, where it's not even just the one company, the the aspiration company, but now it is the company that you know they make the scoreboards for the team, and he was potentially being paid by them, but all of a sudden there's no foul play at hand, so the NBA puts out that statement.
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:39.759
Like to me, that looks a little foul just because one, this was weeks ago, and I mean, well, probably over a month ago at this point now, where there was reports that the investigation could be taking months and months from that time, which again, this was weeks ago, for them to actually come to a conclusion about what was you know going on, and then you know, for them to be able to open up the trade for Kawhi Land to go from the Clippers to the Raptors, uh, which we don't know where that stands right now.
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:53.599
Um, but either way, for them to come back that quickly and say that you know there was no foul play at hand, obviously they've been investigating for a while, but you know, I think that that kind of puts people in a like really kind of state.
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:59.279
Like, really, like you couldn't find anything wrong with this situation, so that's just it, you know.
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:09.440
And to me, it it kind of tarnishes the trust of the fan with the NBA or the league or the organization in general.
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:13.359
Um, and again, it kind of paints it in the funny light to where it's like, am I really getting behind that?
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:18.400
Not even that just team, but again, uh, the sport, you know, that that has that much corruption in it.
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:24.079
And people can feel how they want to feel about you know their sports and how they choose to enjoy it, how they choose to watch it.
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:45.200
Uh, I do like to try to remove my feelings from some of the things that go on around sports and enjoy the game for what it was is, because at the at is at its minimum, you're looking at people who have devoted a lot to their bodies, devoted a lot to their their minds and their you know their craft to be able to play these games on a high, high level in these professional leagues.
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:56.720
So, you know, to the athlete, I kind of feel you know, connected because I'm a person again who's devoted a lot of my life to sports, not playing on the highest level like some of these people we're talking about are.
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:12.400
But at the same time, as someone who's kind of been in that grind, like sports for me is something that has always been like sacred just because I relate to those people and the the plight of the athlete or just the struggle of the athlete or again the success of the athlete by dedicating themselves to the craft.
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:18.640
But again, everything around it makes it look so funny that sometimes it's just like, bro, like what the fuck are we like even watching right now?
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:28.000
Like, again, like you're pissing on me and you're telling me it's raining, and I'm supposed to just you know hop on board with the next season and just wash the shit under the rug and keep on moving.
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:30.480
But you know, again, feel how y'all want to feel about it.
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:37.119
I'm just giving my perspective that it does kind of taint things a little bit to where it's like you you you you eye rolling a lot at some of this shit.
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.920
And again, a lot of it just doesn't seem very believable.
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:46.480
So kawala in the situation aside, like that's a whole, you know, that's one thing that, you know, could be true, could be not true.
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:49.279
They found what they found, they didn't find what they found, whatever.
00:27:49.440 --> 00:28:11.519
You know, even going even further into this thing, like this whole college football situation that's going on right now, where they're literally about to allow people who have been on professional teams, maybe not making the final cut of the team, um, with the ability to potentially go back to college and play if they haven't used up all their eligibility, I think is what I understand from the rule that they put out.
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:15.839
Um, like even that shit and this whole NIL area, we talked about it in basketball.
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:27.200
Football kind of falls along the same lines, especially with this now, which is like the biggest shooter drop in college football, I think, history potentially, just because of the ramificate ramifications that it could have.
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:32.480
One on the sport of football from a just pipeline perspective.
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:41.200
Because again, if you're bringing professional players back into the college football ranks, you are taking opportunities from up-and-coming players who could be on those teams, you know.
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:48.480
Uh, and I know there's a lot of feelings about you know, player empowerment and player movement, and the leagues have always run things.
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.200
Now players should be able to do this, players should be able to do that.
00:28:51.359 --> 00:29:00.559
Uh, but again, from a purist perspective, it is not the best light on the sport or sports in general when it feels like these things are just coming left and right.
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:02.799
And it's like, again, what are we doing right now?
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.200
Like, literally, what is what is the play?
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.480
Like, please tell me the plot because I think we've lost it.
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:13.519
Um, football, even aside from that, because it's just more and more shit going on.
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:16.559
This was kind of old, honestly, just because it's been out for a little bit.
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:21.440
Uh, but even in another sport, you know, the biggest sport in the world, we're just coming off a World Cup season.
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.680
You guys know my feelings about the World Cup.
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:25.200
We've been vocal about that.
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:30.720
Um, but post-world club, which I didn't really want to talk about this shit for a while, I guess.
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:35.440
And now it kind of falls in line because again, it's like the boiling point with a lot of this stuff.
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:41.039
Um, the whole FIFA and the you know, president of FIFA, Infantino.
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:46.799
If you don't know, you know, he's got a you know a checkered past of things where he's been accused of corruption and all that.
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:59.680
Um, so now finding out that he was about to sell staking FIFA basically to inject private equity capital into the sport to create revenue streams for different, you know, FIFA partners, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:11.519
But basically, you were selling, you know, sit you're selling your sport, and a lot of people in the sport came out and drove to say how they felt about it and how they weren't fucking with it, so much so that Infantino backed off of the sale just because he didn't want the heat.
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:19.920
Um, and oddly enough, the part of the people, one of the people who was in the sale is now the person who has bought the Lakers, uh, Kushner, Josh Kushner.
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:25.200
Um, and supposedly that sale was supposed to be kind of orchestrated by Donald Trump.
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:30.240
So that to me, again, it just makes this whole sports shit feel like it's for sale.
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:54.400
Like everything is for sale, and it doesn't matter the what the quality of the actual product is or what you're putting out, or the people that you may be kind of pissing off as you go through these moves, and the people that you're asking to spend their hard-earned dollar to pay for tickets, pay for apparel, pay for travel to go to some of these arenas, pay for literally time off to take away time away from work, which they may or may not have the PTO to do to come support the sport.
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:59.759
Like you are literally pissing on the consumer with a lot of the things that are happening in sports right now.
00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:05.839
And I would say that I'll I don't really I can't fault anyone for feeling away about it.
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:26.079
Um, and for me as a person, again, who dedicated a lot of his life to sport, it just feels like the the money in and around sports has gotten so big, which I do support in a lot of ways, but it it doesn't really feel good what the product in multiple situations is turning out to be, you know, and multiple leagues, multiple different sports.
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:28.960
And again, it just looks like again, literally, what are we doing?
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:30.480
Like, what is the plot?
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:31.920
Because I'm confused.
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:49.200
And whether it be the players who are just you know getting so greedy that they want to line their pockets with as much as they can that they kind of you know take away some of the purest aspect of sports, or the organizations, the owners themselves, like you know, and all the funny shit that's going on, and you know, even doubling back was just popped into my head again.
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:55.599
The reason the Lakers might have even been sold is because the old owner who bought it from the buses is under some kind of federal investigation.
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:57.599
Like it's all like wild, you know.
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:09.279
And to me, I think sports is in a very delicate place where the next five to ten years could potentially look like where people are really looking at doing something else.
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:12.799
And a traditional, like, hey, I want to grow up in the being the M M MLB.
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:14.240
I want to grow up in the being an NBA.
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:30.559
Hey, I want to grow up to be in the NHL, players overseas, hey, I want to grow up and be in the Premier League, you know, like those kind of aspirations that I feel like they'll always be there, but they may be looked at in a different light going forward just because of everything that sports is turning out to be right now.
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:38.000
And again, the plot being literally lost, and again, the the the little people are the ones that kind of get stepped on in this way.
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:40.799
Um, and maybe they don't care.
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:42.559
We know what it is with people with money.
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:51.359
A lot of them want more money, and anything that's private equity literally usually turns out to be a case where they want to get as much money as they can, no matter who they gotta step on to do it.
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.400
So um, how do y'all feel?
00:32:54.480 --> 00:33:02.079
You know, I'm just giving my perspective on it just because, again, as a person who is an athlete, uh, feels like sports is very, very crazy right now.
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:19.599
Um, and that aside, I do still support sports because again, I am an athlete, but you know, we gotta we gotta figure some of this shit out and make sure the next five to ten years doesn't look even worse, you know, with the headlines that you know, things that that are going on across the board.
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.880
So that said, I know we're keeping it heavy today.
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:30.079
Um, but I mean, off the heels of that, we really just gotta get into a lot of this stuff that's going on with the the the food.
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:47.119
Um, as a person who is a health and wellness professional, someone who is an advocate for healthy eating, healthy living, or balanced living or balanced, you know, all of that, just to say there are times where you can slack off a little bit, but you know, keep things on the up and up for the most part.
00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:55.599
Uh just uh really just discourage with where we are as a society right now with the the the quality of the food that that that's out here.
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:03.359
Um if you've unless you've been labeled under the rock, you know, if you go to the grocery store and look for a lot of different things and a lot of different food categories that you may like.
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:05.279
Uh so a lot of that shit may be recalled.
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:10.000
Like the list is growing and it's grown on a damn near week by week basis at this point.
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:14.559
And it makes me feel very, very worried about what's gonna happen in the future.
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:21.679
Um and I ain't gonna say fear, like worried like I'm fearful, but it's like what like again, what are we doing out here right now?
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:23.519
You know, like you can't eat shit.
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:25.840
You can't eat shit without having to worry about it right now.
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:29.440
The the produce is fucked up, the the meats are fucked up.
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:36.960
It looked like you just gotta eat air and try to survive off those kind of calories if there are any, you know.
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:59.360
Um, of course, fucking around and being facetious, but um the the recalls on the food, I think I feel that there is a potential, and this is putting my 10 for hat on, that you know, some of this shit may be kind of orchestrated and orchestrated by who I ain't gonna dive that deep into it uh just because I do like my content to stay out there.
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:04.639
Um and they be shadow banning and flagging nigga shit uh and getting it pulled down.
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:21.119
But, you know, it makes me feel even more so uh that that's the case with all this lab-grown food that you know is the the FDA has then now approved and stuff is being sold to you uh as meat and as animal product that is not, you know.
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:33.840
Um and the lab-grown thing, I do think that that might be a response to the fact that we have so many people on Earth, um, and that Earth itself cannot sustain the amount of foot mouths that need to get fed.
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:38.000
Um, so I don't think there's that much chicken out there.
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:42.880
Like I don't think that that's that much beef out there compared to what gets sold on a day-to-day basis.
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:44.639
And again, this is across the world.
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:52.159
So I do think some of this lab-grown shit might be trying to get ahead of that and just make sure people got something to eat um versus starving.
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:59.440
Um, but again, I do think that right now the quality of what we may be putting in our body, which we've known for a long time, has been a little bit shaky.
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:34.320
Um, and now with some of these lab-grown things, and you know, outside of the the sickness that you can get from all of the things that are being recalled, it just makes you feel a little discouraged, you know, if you if you are a person who cares about what goes into your body, and in how you circumvent that, uh to go back to that word from a little bit earlier, is something that you you really gotta one have dedication to, and two, have the capital to do, and three, be able to learn enough to sustain yourself, just because most people, myself included, so I'm not speaking to you guys from a perspective of I know how to do this.
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:48.639
Like I don't know how to grill my own food just yet, you know, but at this point now in life, it's something that I'm looking more and more deep into just because it was what happened before all this shit got as crazy as it is right now, you know.
00:36:48.719 --> 00:37:01.440
And I do think there's a a I do think there is some level of you know respect that I give to people that are able to grow their own food just because it's not something that everyone does.
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:14.559
Um and was having a conversation with a friend of mine uh just last week, and me and Queen Christine were actually talking to him, and he had like a um he has basically a garden in his backyard where he grows a lot of his own food.
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:16.480
Um, I think he has some tomatoes back there.
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:17.679
I think he has some peppers.
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:22.639
He's making like hot sauces that he's been giving to people like close friends, but now plans on selling them and stuff.
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:31.039
And I'm really just sitting back there looking like, damn, this might be something I really, really need to like think about just because of where we're at right now.
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:58.000
Um, and the fact that it could potentially get worse before anything gets better for me is like, yo, we gotta start really really making some real decisions about what our life looks like from a like living off the land and I'm supporting myself kind of way, or again, just finding better quality, you know, and it's to the point now where I don't down at where anyone shops or chooses to buy their food and produce from, but I've eliminated a lot of the major places where people shop for food, i.e.
00:37:58.159 --> 00:37:59.199
the targets, i.e.
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:00.960
the Walmarts, you know, i.e.
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:29.519
the some of the quote unquote lower level um supermarkets, the shop rights, the like I don't really shop in most of them shits on a consistent basis just because again, I'm looking for mainly high-quality food ingredients for myself to cook in the house, or me and Chris Queen Christina cooking the house, and you know, trying to be more conscious about what goes into your body, reading more labels, uh again, checking some of these recalls and being uh really, really conscious about what you're purchasing to then consume.
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:33.440
Uh, just because you only get one body, folks, and I'm I'm not preaching to y'all.
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:34.559
Again, I'm not perfect.
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:35.599
I eat out sometimes.
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:39.199
I just ate out yesterday, so you know, I'm not speaking to y'all like that.
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:46.480
Uh, but I am giving you something else to think about outside of just going anywhere, putting stuff inside your body without thinking about it, you know.
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:55.599
Um, and cancer is still raging through the communities, like the heart diseases, like the like all this stuff kind of adds up.
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:02.480
And you want to be someone who puts more focus into that, as well as being someone who is about a health and wellness lifestyle as far as a fitness regiment.
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:04.159
Shameless plug as a trainer.
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:06.320
Holla at me if you need any help with that.
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:12.000
Um, but again, man, watch yourself, guard yourself for real with some of these foods that are out here, like be mindful.
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:16.800
Um, and if you've seen it out there, I'm just another voice to tell you to really put that shit in front of mine.
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:19.760
Uh just because you only get one life and it's only one you.
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.360
Um, so that said, keeping it heavy today.
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:26.079
Uh, it ain't really been too much fun or positive talk today.
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:28.559
I'm just saying sometimes it just gotta be like that.
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:42.960
Uh, but we'll move forward a little bit and not necessarily on the negative side, but kind of just uh diving into more of you know my thoughts and my feelings as an entrepreneur, uh, which I like to present you guys a little something this on a week-to-week basis.
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:52.320
And this week, uh kind of got into an introspective space about myself and my um my flaws, I guess, as an entrepreneur.
00:39:52.480 --> 00:40:01.119
Um, and uh as someone who is in that lifestyle, you do have to kind of assess yourself as far as what you're good at, but also what you're not good at.
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:07.440
And this should be with everything in life, you know, um, and relates back to athletics and the stuff, the lifestyle that I've been through with that.
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:11.039
Uh, but I often am my own worst critic.
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:13.039
Um, and uh I'm okay with that.
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:20.079
It's not like you know, I beat myself up to where I don't feel confidence in my abilities to do things or, you know, accomplish tasks.
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:27.599
But I also I also really look at myself in a way that's like, all right, bro, like you gotta tighten up this if you say you want this, you know.
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:54.960
Um we talked about a little bit last week, you know, with like the so the was that last week, whatever it was recently, where you know, I mentioned some of the the checking I've had to do with myself on the financial side of things and the and the mindset that goes in that and the back and forth, the yin and yang of just, you know, my natural nature, or natural nature, excuse me, uh my natural habits versus, you know, what I want to get better at and how I see myself doing that.
00:40:55.119 --> 00:41:15.679
And it kind of goes the same into the with this week with what I feel is my biggest flaw as an entrepreneur and something that I'm really trying to work myself out of and have been doing so, but again, you have to note it first in order to be able to make changes um and you know see things get different in you know what you're looking to do and grow towards.
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:24.159
Um, but my biggest flaw, I feel like as someone who is an entrepreneur is the fact that I don't like to ask for help.
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:36.880
Um so it therefore I don't like to ask for help, but then it leads to me in sales not really feeling like I want to ask for a sale.
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:52.719
Um and that could sound confusing, but in general, like for me, I do enjoy my job, my role, the lane I've created my for myself as a trainer, as a you know, performance coach, as everything that I offer to the world.
00:41:52.800 --> 00:42:03.679
Um, but for me, the part that always gets tricky is just shamelessly asking people for a sale or to buy the things that you know I want you to purchase from me.
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:05.679
Um and I know that seems counterproductive.
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:17.599
Uh, I know it seems like a direct contradiction to you know what you say you want to do, uh, but I also am self-aware enough to know that throughout my life, one of my biggest drawbacks has been asking people for help.
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:41.679
Uh so stubborn in that mentality that it has cost me opportunities, it has cost me money, and it's cost me time with certain things, uh, just because I've always felt, and this goes back to my childhood and you know, being someone who's been in therapy uh and having trust issues in that way, like I don't want like to feel like when I've been let down by someone that I've you know trusted in or or cared enough to ask for help.
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:45.360
Um, and other things in my life in my past have kind of led to me to feel that way.
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:48.960
And I'm not the only person, like I don't feel like I'm rare in that way.
00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:50.880
I know a lot of people that don't like to ask for help.
00:42:51.039 --> 00:43:03.920
So I do think that that really puts me at a disadvantage because internally I would say I get a feeling of like, am I doing too much here when I'm pressing for sales with people?
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:12.159
And I don't hate and I hate to say pressing just because I don't like to, you know, I'm not a pushy salesman with my business and the things that I offer.
00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:27.599
I do believe in creating the value of what you offer and then having someone understand and see the value so that then asking for a sale is very easy just because it's like people actually will show themselves and say, yo, I want this, I'm on board, what I gotta pay for.
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:34.639
Or, you know, it may need a little coaxing, but it it becomes a lot easier process when people understand the value in what you offer.
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:49.840
So that said, um, the part where I have to convince people or you know, overly ask people to, you know, pay for my services, that is where I know it makes me feel inside like uh like I might be doing a little bit too much.
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:50.159
Yeah.
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:53.760
And I'm aware that that is not a mentality that helps you succeed.
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:58.559
So it's something that I've been actively trying to break myself out of over the past year or two.
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:04.320
Um, but again, for Fighting nature that has been within you for a long time, it doesn't always come as easy.
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:07.840
And sometimes it pops out in a way that's like, okay, I know I noticed that.
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:14.639
And sometimes it pops out in a way that's like, I feel myself doing things that are counterproductive, going back to that word, uh, to my goals.
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:19.920
And I have to like immediately pivot and get back in the mode of like, listen, you are a business owner now.
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.920
You have to shamelessly plug your business because that's the only way that you're gonna grow.
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:33.679
Uh, and you can be afraid, again, not afraid, excuse me, not in that way, but you can't be, you know, you can't have any feelings other than the goal when it comes to asking for a sale.
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:53.519
Um, and a lot of things I do I feel positively about just because when I make a sale is because someone believes that much in what I do from a you know training and fitness perspective to want to stay on board, which then gives me positive feelings just because and I get a chance to then help that individual to grow in in whatever way we, you know, we are setting our goals to do, you know.
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:55.920
So that part of it is fulfilling.
00:44:56.000 --> 00:45:07.039
Um, but again, the uncomfortable part of asking for sales is something that every business owner needs to just literally throw out the window because you have to get uncomfortable in that way just to be able to grow yourself.
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:12.639
Um, so for anyone that you know feels that or can kind of lean into that, listen, you're not alone.
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:26.719
But I am here to tell you that, you know, as a living example, it's things that I've had to battle, you know, recently throughout my last couple of years as I'm into full-time, this is my baby um and this is my creation, and I have to go as hard for it as possible.
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:29.280
Like those things I did have to kind of break out of.
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:35.760
And again, you catch yourself leaning back into old habits and old tendencies sometimes, but check yourself, get back on mission, man.
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:39.599
It is your job to promote your business to the highest level as best as you can.
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:47.760
And anyone who might feel a way other way about that, other than like, yo, I'm fucking with her, I want to support, they're not for you anyway.
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:52.320
And that's all right too, because as a business owner, as an entrepreneur, you're never gonna be for everyone.
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:58.559
Some people are gonna really, really fuck with you, some people are gonna fuck with you a little bit, and some people are just not gonna fuck with you at all.
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:10.079
But you know, you really gotta just get into the point where mentally you are really just trying to find as many people that will rock with you as you can, and don't be afraid to take a couple lumps on away from the people that don't.
00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:16.559
Um, but that said, I'm blessed, happy with the people I do got, and happy with the opportunity I have in front of me to grow.
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:23.599
Um, and again, recognizing what I have to do within my own self to be able to put myself in the space to achieve those things.
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:26.480
Um, and that's that on that.
00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:37.519
You know, uh, we talked about a little bit earlier, so we'll touch on a couple of these joints before I get out of here, just because I do think that right now there is a great renaissance in hip-hop that's going on.
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:51.760
Um, and played a couple of records on the warm-up, a few records on the warm up I say, but really wanted to take some time to give you uh the albums in my current rotation just because I feel like we're in a really good space and I like a lot of what I'm hearing right now.
00:46:51.920 --> 00:47:12.400
Uh, and I still go back to you know the whole Kendrick and Draith beef beef, kind of creating a little bit of a shift in hip-hop, uh, to then Eclipse album creating a little bit more of a shift in hip-hop, and it's just been albums after albums after albums, like uh like in the past year or so, that have really been thoughtful from you know great artists who've been around for a long time.
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:25.440
Um, and that's the part of it that's encouraging for me, uh, because every artist that I'm gonna run off these albums for, and I won't spend too much time on it, are people that have been in the industry or in and around the game for over a decade, you know.
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:42.480
Um, and I know as hip hop is a young man's game or a young man's sport, they say, I do think that there are great options for people who are of my decade, my age bracket, uh, my big age bracket in now, the 40 plusers, and there's something for you uh in hip-hop.
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:50.320
And I got friends that are really close to me that don't really feel like they have shit to listen to, so they just rely on a lot of the old shit.
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:52.800
I'm someone who kind of feels that way as well.
00:47:52.960 --> 00:48:07.039
Um, but as someone who has a little bit more of an ear to what the new shit that's going on is, like I do search for the quality rappers and the quality, you know, hip-hop artists, and even on the RB side, too, like the real like good new shit, like is what I'm always looking for.
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:12.159
And if I find it, I'm gonna put it out there just because I believe music is to be shared with the world.
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:20.079
So uh bear with me a little bit as we talk about the last few uh albums that I've been listening to recently over the last month or so.
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:22.719
Um uh number one, Dave East, Price of Pain.
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:24.719
I just played a record from that one earlier.
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:26.400
Um, I said it a little bit earlier.
00:48:26.639 --> 00:48:33.920
East is one of my one of my favorite rappers over the last 15 or so years.
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:45.440
Um, and that is because of me watching him come up literally and kind of like seeing him achieve a bigger and bigger status in the game from someone who, you know, caught on to him pretty early in his career.
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.519
Um, and hard worker like puts out a lot of projects in a year's time.
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:53.679
I do think there is some detriment to that just because you're putting out too much music.
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:59.440
Uh, but it ain't gonna be a point where East ain't got a record or a project or uh something coming out for you to listen to.
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:03.280
His late his last project was just at the end of last year, uh, which is a pretty good one.
00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:09.920
I forget the name of that one off the top of my head, but this joint Price of Pain is a great, it's a record with Harry Fraud as the producer.
00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:12.320
So him and Harry Fraud have had projects before.
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.639
I think they musically are a good match.
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:16.320
Uh so check that one out for sure.
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:18.079
Price of Pain is a smoker.
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:23.519
Um, Nipsey, the prolific album, I know we spoke about it last week, been sitting with it even more.
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:35.519
I really like that album, and I also really like the fact that even though a lot of the records on there might be quote unquote tailored to women, which is one of the critiques of the album I've seen.
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:44.880
Uh, maybe a critique, maybe not, but something that people notice about the albums uh with Bino as the collaborative artist on it, there were a lot of like girl-leaning songs.
00:49:44.960 --> 00:50:04.239
Uh, and I love the way that Nipsey does it to where they may be songs that are speaking to a woman or about a woman, but it's so like street in the way that he conveys his message about love and the message about you know being with someone that's like him, that it doesn't really feel too soft, you know.
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:06.880
Um, and I fuck with it, man.
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:08.320
I think it's a really good project.
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:12.000
I've I've felt more positively about it the more I've got to sit with it.
00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:25.519
And I'm not a person who likes to give my early opinions on albums or projects just because I do like to take time to let things kind of soak in uh so that I can give a real perspective and something that, you know, has a little bit more meat on the bones, pause, than just, you know, firing off a quick opinion.
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:31.199
Um, moving forward to one of what I think will be one of the rap albums of the year.
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:34.000
Played a record song for this one earlier earlier as well.
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:44.000
Uh Ransom Price of Clarity album, I think has been critically akin laying by a lot of the publications and the people who really talk about music and stuff like that uh since it's been dropped.
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:46.320
I think it's about a week now that it's been out.
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:49.360
Um, but that real album is really, really fucking good.
00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:51.599
And I've always felt this way about Ransom.
00:50:51.679 --> 00:51:02.159
He is the most, 100% the most underrated lyricist in rap and maybe in rap history, just because of his ability um and his growth, I think.
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:05.280
And it's been great to see his career go the way it has.
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:15.519
Uh, and he's one of those artists that, again, if you're someone who's 40 and up, 35 and up, get into the latter stages of their youth or whatever, like it is one of those albums for you with a lot of things he dives into.
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:20.000
And the title itself, the price of clarity, is like, you know, it is profound.
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:24.079
And the way the album breaks down from top to bottom goes along with that.
00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:26.320
So definitely check that one out if you haven't yet.
00:51:26.559 --> 00:51:31.039
Another one I've been listening to, play the record off of that early as well, the Rhapsody album.
00:51:31.199 --> 00:51:35.840
It is got uh God of Afro and Goops is the title of it.
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:40.719
Uh, this one I've had a little bit of chance to sit with, but not as much as the others I just mentioned.
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:45.760
So this one will be in current and consistent rotation for me over the next few weeks or so.
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:48.239
Listen, Rhapsody is one of them, I think.
00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:54.800
You know, special lyricist, uh very thoughtful in the way she goes about her albums and the messaging that she puts out.
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:04.000
Uh, this is just another one of them, and I think the production on this one has been even more elevated than her last project, and I like the cohesiveness of it and everything as well.
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:06.159
Uh, so definitely check that one out.
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:10.320
Um, I know the game Documentary 3 album just came out recently as well.
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:17.039
I'm gonna just be honest, I ain't really got to that shit yet just because it's a very long album and I'm a very busy person.
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:21.039
So, you know, I heard a lot of good things about it, heard a couple snippets off of that one too.
00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:26.400
Uh, but I can't, like I just said, give a real opinion on it just because I haven't had a chance to sit with it yet.
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:31.599
And uh I will plan to uh when you know I do have a chance to take it in.
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:32.800
Um pause.
00:52:33.039 --> 00:52:39.599
But that said, man, uh with that said, wanted to tap out on the on the episode from here.
00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:41.440
Uh let you guys know too.
00:52:41.599 --> 00:52:45.519
Always stay safe mentally, physically, spiritually, and all things in between.
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:50.719
Guard yourself in this crazy world and learn how to grow some fucking food.
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:53.199
It may just be that, man.
00:52:53.280 --> 00:53:00.079
Buy some chicken, buy some cattle if you got enough money to it, because this shit might turn to the the literal hunger games out here pretty soon.
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:03.599
Um, but until then, man, episode number 85 is out.
00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:04.320
Peace.
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:06.320
I catch you on the flip side later.
