Or they only get to participate.

See, they should change it after Super Bowl. Yeah, to make it an event like it used to be, but I don't know. Because I mean the Super Bowl winners, they may or may not play, depending on who how they feel. But they might though. But they still might want to participate in the weekend, though. Right, that's what I'm saying. Even with that though, they had they had um they had what's it called? They had like the throwing competitions that you know what I'm saying? They would get like little bonuses for winning and all that type of stuff. Cash prizes. They gotta restructure it on the NBA and the NFL. My bad, my bad. For the NBA, what I was trying to say is um didn't they have that little tournament though? Yeah, that was cool. They had a little kind of clean. It's USA versus the world or whatever. It wasn't just USA versus the world though. They had like two different USA teams and then they had a world team, they had one other team. I don't know if it's three teams versus four. That's kind of tough though. It's cool, but I wish they just did a regular game where it's just USA versus the world instead of like having a round robin. It's cool with it. But then again, then again, they're going back, they're still doing that AU style type of programming. If they did a USA versus the world like full game where them niggas is hooping, I think that would be mad competitive because Wimpy and all of them was really getting after it. Like Wimpy was mad, he was straight and mad that he was losing. You feel me? Yeah, I think there's enough players from the world side that there would be a good, real good. A lot of the top players in the league are not part of the USA, so like right. I mean, we'll see though when it comes to that, man. I just need I want the NBA product to improve. I mean, I think the league's competitive, don't get me wrong. I think it's competitive streaming in the NFL list. A lot of players are scattered across the league. I think the playoffs are gonna be ridiculous this year, but like when it comes to the overall product on a night-in-night now, night in night out basis, they gotta improve. And I hate like the players that sit out all the time. Like they don't play full seasons anymore. Yeah. It's like, oh, I'm taking my rest, my four to five-game rest. It's like if you're older, it's one thing. Yeah, but if you're a primetime player, then they claw the clue. Like Bron. Bron's older now, though. Uh-huh. Okay. I'm saying I'd be taking me. He's taking nights off, bro. Bro, he broke cashed out, bro. He's he's done, bro. He made his fortune. You don't need to win a championship. Philadelphia put too much investment into him. It's like they might be investing in Maxi from now on. No, they're probably transitioning to, but like, Embiid already got his max. Yeah. At this point, he should be playing for Pride and Honor. The fact that you're one of the greatest players that can walk through the NBA. But you're never gonna get looked at the same if you don't get that chip. You don't got a chip, bro. Like Philadelphia. Joker got one. Joker came in and got one. Right. Exactly. And working with Les. You think? I don't want to say Les because he had a pretty good squad around him. Okay. But the fact that he came into an organization that hadn't won one is like Embiid. They're gonna retire to his jersey? Joker? Yeah. Damn. And he's wearing Melo's joint. That's what I'm saying. How you feel about that? I was surprised they gave him Melo's number, to be honest. Yeah. But he got them a title, so you can't really say shit. He was the best player on the best Denver team. Period. So you think he's the best player in Denver? Yeah, bro. Damn. He won they won the chip, bro, and he was the best player in the league. I'm saying, like, skill set wise. Yeah. Damn. And I'm a mellow fan. So you got more than toolbox. All around, yeah. Mello can get it. Mello gets to a bucket like in different places. So he's the better scorer, is what you're getting at. See, that's a different question. Wow. Cause like he it's they're different, one of the different positions in terms of like on the floor, like he's a way bigger body, so it's easier for him to like he's running a cup, he's gonna get it. Melo, I think Melo's bag is bigger in terms of like different ways he can get a bucket, but they can both get score at the same clip. Does that make sense? I can't just say it. Like Melo has to because he obviously smaller frame, that type of thing. What about like 6'8, ain't he? Yeah, but Jokic is like seven, seven. You're right, you're right, you're right. He can be posted up in the paint and get something, but Jokic can shoot the three, he can shoot the mid-range, he can do whatever. But Melo, he can he's gonna mix you more. Jokic is really like, like I said, he's a bigger body. That's that's really the biggest difference, I guess. But Melo, I think, has a what bigger toolbox of like I'm I can mix you, step back, fade away, all that type of shit. So wouldn't that make him the better scorer? Not necessarily see, scoring is like how how often you can get the ball in the bucket. And I think Jokic can get the ball in the bucket more often than Melo can get the ball in the bucket. Let's see who got a hard clip. He did because I I thought Melo's getting to a to the baja and putting it up. Because he's arguably one of the greatest scorers of all time, too, ain't yeah. Like I'm saying, like in that conversation, I'm not saying he is, but people would say Mello is up there. Yeah, I think because his bag is like more mixy, bro. Like it's a little more flashy than Jokic, bro. But I could be completely wrong. Well, Jokic is what average what on like a 36 piece? It's not even close. Jokic by a big yeah, in terms of percentage, Mello's 44 career, 44%. Um, Jokic is 50 to 50, 57 to 58%. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, that's that's what the stats are saying. If we talk going by the numbers, yeah, you're right. Melo's just probably a little more flashy, bro, when it when it when it when it came to uh how he how he got the bucket at the end of the day.

SPEAKER_09 36:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 36:33

Um, but let's see, what else we got today? We got some more Monday round news. We're gonna stick on stick on sports. Um Bright Tuff, man, it's been some news around uh the NFL when it comes to him retiring at such an early age. Um so Bright Tuff, he recently played for San Francisco 49ers formerly um the Philadelphia Eagles, won a Super Bowl with them. He got the biggest claim when it came after playing with the New York Jets, um, and then signed a big deal with the Birds, won the Super Bowl with them, went on to play with the San Francisco 49ers, announced his retirement um at 27 to start a business. Um and this shocked a lot of people in the league. Um one because he's only 27 years old. He uh only played six years in the NFL, and people thought, like obviously, people that watch the watch the NFL, like that's very early in the career. Most guys are playing until like the early to mid-30s now, especially being like a Russian NDN or whatever it may be. Um But he's he's doing his own business venture. Him and his brother started his own uh their own business business venture started uh called Neighbor Stone, um dealing with like lithium batteries, making them making them safer and things of that nature. But the real the real story is do you think this is gonna be a trend for guys in the NFL specific specifically? Um now that we know a lot of stuff that has to do with like the brain, people are gonna come in, get their bag, retire at an early age, save their health, and then do what they got to do. Because another person that kind of retired earlier than they expected was uh Aaron Donald. He retired pretty early. He wanted to. Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck, too, and they got a bag not out of there. You feel me? So, like one, what are your thoughts about just like this retirement story and then just like I guess the future of the league and players of the league? I mean, honestly, he's smart as hell. He had the Super Bowl. You I mean, he went to because he started off New York Jets, right? Yep. So he started off New York Jets, played for a shitty ass team, put himself in a great position by going to Philadelphia. Right. I mean, obviously he played, you got to mean, got a ring. Then he went to Sam Fran, almost got a ring. Because they lost him what the conference championship. So I mean, it's just like you had a great run. And on top of that, like, I mean, he didn't have any major injury injuries that like jeopardized his career. So it's just like you're playing, you're playing a great game of chess, my friend. I think it's a smart move. And then like I said, you're taking all your profits that you made off the league and putting into what you obviously you're really truly interested in. And it says, and it says um his decision, his house's decision to retire came one day before he was due a$1 million uh dollar roster bonus and before the 49ers would have had to decide on a uh$14.6 uh million dollar option bonus. And it said he made over$40.5 million during his NFL career. So he made a big bag. It wasn't just no little bag. Right, he made a huge bag. Honestly. So I'm just saying, like, yeah, I mean, you probably think, okay, my health is still intact and everything. Let me just cash in my chips and invest my money somewhere to where I don't have to get hurt. Yeah. How hard do you think it is for um how hard do you think it is for players like like if you want to just take it off of Bryce Um Um to make that decision, especially you have options like that, and then you know there's money coming in. What do you mean? Like if you're the star, that's a lot. It's a hard decision. I'm not not like you said, picking it off him. I'm saying like if you're like the guy, the franchise guy, and it's like you're at the point to where it's like an Andrew Luck situation, like you're the quarterback of in that you're not you're actually doing good, you're winning ball games, and then you just get up and leave. It's hard because it's like everybody's gonna be questioning everything. Well, why'd you do this, this, that, and the third? It's like, yeah, fuck what the people say, but then it's like, no, you're walking in the stores, people, oh, why'd you quit? Why'd you do this? Why it's like, did I make the right decision? It's like, do you fall under that hypnosis of did I make the wrong decision? And you hesitate on other things, and you might not fully be active in those things because you're thinking about playing football or making the right decision. Right. Um, but when you realize, okay, there's stuff on the other side of the grass and you can do more, then it's like, all right, you did make the right decision. Yeah, and he said he's been playing like one thing that he well, I think a lot of people that play sports that resonate, especially the ones that make it that far, is like this is something he's been doing probably since he was like five, six years old, like doing for a long time. And I think there's also a burnout factor to it for some people, like you said. Yeah, and then also like he's doing something he's passionate about, and you got this big bag to invest in whatever you want to do. It's almost like seed money to do what you really want to do. And you can you can almost, I'm not gonna say chill, but you can pursue what you your heart really desires at the end of the day. Right. That's what you said. I agree with you. It definitely is. I mean, like, and who's just saying maybe like football wasn't always his love. Yeah. Like, I mean, it could have been it could have built built in a tool as opposed to like that's my diehard path. It could have built like his discipline and his principles and how he moves and navigates through life by having routine, but like in actuality, he could he really could have just okay, this is just getting me through. Yeah, and I'm just really that's no different than like we're talking about uh Nikolai Yokich Jokic. Like people know that basketball's not his number one page is very, very good at it. Like you saw after he won a championship, like he wasn't really, ah, I'm ready to go back home now, because I really don't care about celebrating. Right, right. And people try to go, oh, how could you not be so like that's not he's dude's passionate about like horses and shit like that. Yeah, right. He's just gonna play the game. Gonna play the game if he's just family, he's making a lot of money, so like why not continue to do it until I don't want to do it anymore? Right. Right. And I'm sure, I'm sure if it was a physical game like football, boy probably retire like only Yoke's Jess would probably retire earlier too. But it's like it's not demanding on your body, you feel me? Right. Like you really gotta get your body in a certain type of condition to withstand 300-pound men coming straight at you, and you have to defend yourself. Yeah, yeah. But I'm I'm I'm excited to see what they do with the neighbor's stone. Shout out to uh uh Bride, shout out to his brother Jordan as well, too. Definitely friends of the show. Um happy retirement, man. I think a lot of people, a lot of people want to be able to retire at 27. Not have to just be able to do whatever the hell you want to do. I mean, hopefully be financially free. Yeah, yeah. I don't know anybody, but like sitting on 40 mil at 27, it's like you in a very good position, you're able to take care of your family essentially as long as you do it. Yeah, man, it can't be mad at it. I'm gonna tell anybody can hit on this. Yeah, of course you're a fan, but still, even Nancy's like, bruh, baby. All right, I agree.

SPEAKER_10 46:25

Once again, that was Amma and Brent Fayez. Need it bad. Her name used to be Amalou, but she got some good records too. That's all for her project? Just a single? Why was that shit? I don't know. His project. That's a good record, huh? Good record, huh? Must have. I don't know. She might be signing them. Let me see. Who would have branded them? Yeah. Oh wow. Maybe they were trying to roll her out. I don't know. Yeah, well, he should have rolled that out in that in that project. I don't see the icon was not an icon. Still not hand to you. A couple more songs, Groomie. I ain't gonna lie to you. Nah, I mean, don't get me wrong. There's good tunes, bro. Like, but I'm saying, like. It's just not what you're used to. It wasn't a classic. I mean, everything can't be a classic, but I'm saying, like, it wasn't one of my favorite ones. It wasn't one of your favorite brand projects. I'm not gonna say it was ass, bro, because it wasn't. Yeah, it's not ass. It's good music. It just wasn't my favorite one. I feel that. Let's jump into let's jump into some music news. Jack Harlow dropped his first project in three years. Um called, titled Monica. Um it says Monica is Jack Harlow's fourth studio album released by Atlantic Records on March 13th, 2026. Coinciding with his 28th birthday. It marks Harlow's first release in almost three years following Jack Man that released in 2023. It was written in 2025 after his move to New York City. Um it was recorded at the famous Electric Uh Lady Studios. Um it says just moments into the album, one thing is crystal clear. Harlow was ready for a change. He'd enjoyed a strong run of sample heavy hip-hop hits like What's Poppin' first class and Love It On Me, but he reached the end of that stylistic thread and a reset was in order. This is more of like a RB soul album. I don't know if you took a listen to some of the some of the project yet. Um, but it's loaded with like jazzy guitars, gentle horns, um, organs, things of that, things of that nature. Um, and this is definitely different than what we were what we're used to from Jack. We're used to Jack uh rapping, rapping like crazy. Um But before we get into the actual album, he's been having mixed reviews about some of the comments that he made on his uh on his interview with the New York Times. Yeah. I'm gonna I'm gonna play it and uh I want to get your thoughts on it. We'll then we'll discuss that, then we'll discuss the music and everything as a whole.

SPEAKER_03 48:42

Was that conscious? Was that a non saying you didn't retreat into a whiter genre? In fact, you arguably went into deeper into black music. Yeah, deeper into black music. So is that was that conscious? Was that a little twist on the typical move that white rappers make, which is to retreat back into traditionally white sounds?

SPEAKER_01 49:04

It certainly made what I already wanted to do even more appealing. Absolutely. Because you like pushing that boundary, that line? I think I love black music. I love the sound of black music.

SPEAKER_04 49:17

I love the sound of black music. Um and of course, I'm hyper-aware of the politics of today, that safer landing spot that a lot of my white contemporaries have found. And of course, it appealed to me to do something that I felt like at a time when there's plenty of people expecting me to take some of the routes y'all take. Yeah. To take the route that not only might not be expected, but is also the one I genuinely want to take. So all the stars aligned in that way for me, to be honest. Um, I'm not gonna pretend like what you're talking about. I was like, huh, I guess you're right.

SPEAKER_10 49:54

So the statement they got everybody going crazy said, I got blacker. Jack Carlos says I got blacker on the New York Times, and then that put a lot of people into a frenzy saying some people were saying, Oh, he's still a culture vulture, that doesn't make sense. He's gonna eventually like tear off into like the white spaces, like Post Malone did, like Machine Gun Kelly did, things of that nature. Then other people were just like, nah, Jack's he did that when the opposite direction is leaning more into what he likes, which is like uh culture, yeah, black centric music, like whether it be RB, whether it be hip hop, whether it be soul music. Um, so let me get what are your thoughts on, I guess, that statement. Um, and guess what he's saying on the New York Times uh podcast about a music interview and about how he's leaning more into this style of music as opposed to what his, like you said, his contemporaries in the space do, where they'll just come out, come off in hip hop, start off in hip hop, and then jump into like the more uh white-centric uh genres of music. Didn't uh Punch said he didn't know what he mean by like that statement? What do you mean? Didn't like Punch from TD say he didn't know what he meant, like meant like there was like a comment saying, I don't know what you mean by I got black, but then it's like come on, you gotta like I feel like we're nitpicking at that. Like I feel like and not just trying to defend him, just my my POV. I think like what Jack is trying to say is like he's understanding the nuance of what he's in, which is hip-hop. So like leaning more into like, you know, the RB side, the the you know, the s the more of like, you know, black American music, I think he's appreciating it more. I mean, like I said, he could go like the the commercial route, be like an MGK or a post Malone, but like if he generally likes hip-hop or RB or black music, whatever you want to put a title onto it, why can't he do that? Now I hear what you're saying with that. Um when it comes to that, I don't disagree with your statement. I think if you just listen to the clip, um, say if you just listen to like the first 15 seconds of the clip and then he get the rest of the context, I can see why people maybe think the way you're saying, like how you said punch it, what do you mean you're getting black? I mean that maybe not been the best word. The worst words for him to say, but when he explained what he meant about continuing to lean into like the genres of music, whether it be RB, whether it be soul, or the music that he actually like likes, I get what he means by that. Right. Um do I think the music on the album was the best? No, but I thought it was good, I thought it was decent music. I mean, they said he he went to New York and stuff like that. Yeah, he moved to New York. I mean, I get it, I understand it. Like it definitely gave that that New York, you know, you're at like a speakeasy or you know, a blue spot, just listening to good vibes and like poetry night. Yeah, that's some shit that you you would play. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, is it a commercially sound project? Nah. Nah. Nah. But I feel like he, my bad. I feel I feel like he's he's making music that he likes. Nah, he's definitely making music that he likes. Um, and I think like when you listen to what he's talking about, like uh the love aspect of it. Right. Um him him explaining like the stuff that he went through with, I guess, like being in love with with the girl or whatever it may be. Like you hear that in the music, you hear it in the tones, the the the sounds that he chose, right? Whether it be the jazzy sounds, the horns, all that type of stuff. Um But well I like I didn't expect this from him. I didn't expect this. I didn't I didn't ex I didn't expect this from him when it came to that type of just him like no, I'm saying like him singing on record. I wasn't expecting him to do that. Like I was I could I was expect not saying that I couldn't see him doing it, I didn't think it was gonna be an entire album of that. I thought it was gonna be maybe him rapping over more soulful shit as opposed to like singing melodies and that type of thing. Yeah, um but I mean it it's it's it's different. He's pushing his boundaries. It said that like in a little description that he's trying to push his boundaries in terms of like the music that he makes. You said what? Like a J. Cole type of feel to it. I feel I I feel you when it comes to that. I feel like it was just like more so just it was more so sounds. I feel like he's trying to be like uh he wants to give that Mac Miller type vibe. Yeah, I didn't feel I didn't catch that Mac Miller type of vibe on his project. Nah. I did a little bit like that Mac Miller vibe, or just even just like um who else we compare him to? I was listening to the JVP. They said they gave they gave a comparison like early Russ. Did you listen to Russ like when he first came out, like that type of vibe? Yeah, I mean, yeah, I did. I mean, nah, I mean, nah, Russ was actually kind of like singing, singing, like losing. No, no, no, yeah. Yeah, but you're talking about like the feel, like the the the soulful. Nah, I didn't I I still not Rush, but I it was more so like I felt I I see I hear when people were saying like the the Mac type vibe. I I get that I get that. I get that when it comes to like the type of music, the melodic rapping type shit that Jack be doing. I get that. Not just because he's white, but just because like the sound. Nah, I'm I I I really wasn't even thinking about I didn't even think about his color. It was more so just it just didn't give that Mac Miller vibe. Like the I'm saying like I guess you should say like the beat, like the sound in itself was more so of uh conscious of like Cole. If Cole were to like be melodic and sing on some shit. Yeah, I didn't I didn't he I didn't I didn't hear Cole on that joint. That's just me. Like the one record? I forgot which one, I'll play it. I'll pull it up. I literally was just listening to today. I don't know if this is the right one. They was they was they was troll, they was trolling him on the joint, though. I don't know, I don't know why. What were they saying? Just they're saying Monaco is a different way for him. This is like all obviously the internet saying for him to say my nigga, like if you see Oh, really? I was crying. Um Trade Places is a good record. I'll play some of that. Yeah, I think there was a third, the third song. Uh Prague? I think yeah. I'll play a little bit of trade places, trade places real quick. I listened to really like it does get it does give uh a Neo Soul type vibe though. Yeah, for sure. I think it's a very good project though. Like Yeah, definitely if you write some poetry. Hold up, hold up. You know, you know that uh that video of Drewski when he's doing the drill, though. Oh yeah, we had the cigarette and the yo, they was they was vibe they was vibe it. That's what it gives you the vibe of. That's funny.

SPEAKER_06 56:09

Find some way that we can walk around together. See, cause I don't want you to face out.

unknown 56:15

You put up your hair and figure what you wanna wear. I'm gonna want you to say the word.

SPEAKER_06 56:21

We can call it when you're ready to show me what you really wanna do. I wish I could trade places. I wanna be the one that you lean against. We can make it so you maintain a sense. Talk to me till you're fully convinced. I wish I could trade places with that lamp post. I like the way you lean on that damn post. I could be that handrail that you put your hands on.

SPEAKER_05 56:52

All I wanna do is get some time with you the way you want to, baby girl.

SPEAKER_10 56:57

That's trade places. You said Prague, Prog was the only route rocking with. Yeah, well that was. I'll play that joint too for the listeners. Oh, yeah, go ahead. Yeah, so you can hear it. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_06 57:15

You don't wanna rush this fine, okay. I'll let you decide what's not on. I can edit to this joint. Start editing. Okay. I'm okay, use a question. I think about coming your direction. I think about wanting your faction I think about you. There we go. Keep creeping up, don't know how to cope with I think a bunch. Maybe I should just stop holding on a list. Cause the more that you resist in the more send a kiss every time I reminisce is wrong. If I wanna be wrong, holding up a kid exist, wondering if it's just me, is it all my issue? So tell me that I'm dismissed. If it's gone that you wanna be gone. I'm so fascinated, baby.

SPEAKER_10 58:24

That's that's Prague off of uh Jack Harlow's project. Uh I'm saying you see what I mean by like it kind of sounded like cold. Not it didn't sound like cold, but that's like a cold type of like a feel to it. I feel you. I feel you. Oh, I was about to say, um Yeah, like I said, I got edge to that joint. I play that joint in the background. Prague? No, just the project in general. It's a one of this move, like I'm sitting down, like Sunday, Sunday, Sunday vibe, rain's rain's coming out. I got Harlow in the background, put the put the incense in the air. Keep it a bean. That one's a pass. That wasn't fast? That's the way you told me to play. I'm talking about the project, bro. Oh, the project. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's I mean, it's a cool little project. No, that's what I but that's what I said on the start. I said it's not the best process, it's just a good project. Like, it's good. I'm agree. I've been agree with you the whole time. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a good project. It's not like his best work, in my opinion, but it wasn't commercially sound, which is cool. It's a little background music. For sure. A little jingle here or there. Yeah. Um was there any other music news that we that I'm missing? For the most part, not. I'm just waiting for Kanye to drop. Yeah, oh, that's what I want to talk about. How you feel do you see the LA show and he had like a million people on the waiting line for that joint? Yeah, bro. That's why I've been in my life with Pablo Bag recently. Yeah, I feel like he's about to drop something heavy. Oh, yeah, because bully, he started doing advertising for the bully album and all that. Worldwide. Yeah. Do you think he's gonna do a world tour when he drops bully? I mean, depending on how the project turns out, the project's gonna do numbers. I mean, he's actually promoting it. Like he's promoting it. Yeah, the project's gonna do numbers. And I think remember he said he went on the apology tour and all that type of stuff and announced his album. I think he's trying to do that so he can do his world tour. Like his proof of concept was Mexico, Tokyo, and all that where say, yo, look, I'm still on like 80,000 people in one or one arena, not one night, but two nights, whatever it may be. So it's like, I'm dropping this album, and then I'm gonna be kind Yeah is gonna be like, yo, he's dropping a bully album, he's about to be on his bully, and then he's gonna prove he's a rapper that can go on a solo world tour. World tour. Yeah. Period. Yo, and and since we're talking about, yeah, house literally going down, like I was arguing, full-blown arguing somebody. I just about who has a smart, the smarter mind, him or Barack Obama. I said, Kanye. In what sense? When it comes to like financial gain. Explain, elaborate. I want to only hear your thoughts. Like, I'm talking about like in terms of like his literally make like we always talk about making something intangible, tangible, and making it worth a lot of money. Yeah, I think I think Ye just understands attention, bro. And that's yeah. No, and that belows into what you're saying. I think he understands attention to the highest margin. Like, he understands the controversial aspect. He understands that no matter if it's good publicity or bad publicity, he knows how to capitalize off of it. Like you said, when it comes to financial gain, like even just how to maximize off the moments that he creates, whether it's good, bad, or indifferent, if one thing we know is he's gonna maximize off of that shit. No matter what. By any means. By any means. That's what I'm saying. Like I agree with him. He's a pure capitalist at his best. He's a pure capitalist, bro. Like, because every every time his name's in the news, something either something's dropping or he's he's pushing something, he's promoting something or whatever it is. Even if it's not like on a major push or a major market, uh major marketing campaign, he's he's he's he's getting a dollar off his name being talked about. Yeah, true, for the good, for the better or for the worst. For the better or for the worst, bro. He's getting a dollar off a dollar off of something, bro. Like, hey man. Like he he he literally made a bag off the biggest uh whore ever, Kim. You're not wrong. Skims? Yeah. Our own of that. And that's a that's a that's a bag, bro. That's a bag, bro? Is that bigger than Fenty, probably? I don't know which one's bigger, bro. Fenty or skims? Like as a as a good as a skims is probably bigger. Is it? I don't know. I'm saying because I mean, yeah, I mean, it m skims is probably bigger. Which I mean, when it comes to like pricing, is it damn near relatively the same, you think? Because is one is isn't Fendi like considered luxury, luxurious? Um I'm not sure. That's not my world. In terms of like the women's women's wear and stuff like that. True. I don't know, I don't know if it has menswear now too, so. Oh, really? Yeah, they have Skims boxers and all that type of stuff. Uh damn. Yeah. I think Skims is five billion valuation, I think. Let's see. Skims wins, it's and it's not close right now. Unless it's five billion, yeah. It says Skims is valued at five billion. Fenty is about one in between one and two billion. So they're both, they're both up there, but Skims is Skims is worth more. Where the Kanye? And I made that bit famous. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like, Kanye knows what he's doing. They got two global brands, but we got Yeezy and Skims. Come on, where what BL, like what can we say he's done like far as making something intangible, tangible? I mean, no, he's just a political figure, bro. That's what I'm saying. We're talking about capital gain, yeah. Thank you, bro. I mean, who said it? Who said who said that in something like that? Nah, we was in it, because that I was talking in the chat with my, you know, the guys from Bam and me and my boy Buck, and we was going back and forth. He was just trying to say how like, oh, Brock did the foundation, had foundations, and then his Netflix, he produced a movie that in a buzz. Buck, I don't know who Buck is, but Buck. He knows exactly who I'm talking about. Buck. Come on now. Like, I get you for the change, you for the people. I had a you've been saying all that type of stuff. Like Kanye can do literally anything probably Brock could do. You're not wrong. That's all I'm saying. But we just went down that rabbit hole because we were to borrow up Kanye, but that's neither here nor there. How much do you think Ye's gonna sell first week? If he even goes straight to the D. I mean he's gonna go to the DSPs, but like, oh yeah, yeah. DSPs and then how much? Is that gonna be direct to consumer? Is that gonna be that's what I'm saying? Like, is he gonna go to D D C first and then put it on streaming? Because I don't know how it's gonna drop next. You feel me? I mean first week, at this point, probably like 300,000. If we're talking about if he just went straight to the consumer, more than 300,000, I think. You think it's gonna be like five? Kanye's doing probably like four, four fifty. Like three fifty-four, yeah. I'll I'll put him in that range. I'll put him in that range. He's he's he's yeah. Depending on how the music depending on what time, how he like angle, is he? Because he's been out, he's been outside, bro. Like, not over here, but he's been outside. Nah, I'm saying, like, depending on how he like approaches his music. Yeah. Like, you mean is he is he is he doing it say, okay, I did this on like vultures like independently, like, no like major label push. Right. Now is he doing it on some like, I'm showing you I'm still him. Like, I think he's gonna do it on some. I w I wonder what the music's gonna sound like, because these last few projects, we got like a sneak peek to like, oh, this is what the he did listening part, we saw what it would sound like, but we really don't know what bully's gonna sound like. Cause you gotta think, right, right. We don't all we saw is like maybe little snippets and shit like that where he played like, oh, this is if I could do this, what AI, da da da da da. Like you saw look when he first, this is like a year ago, two years a year and a half ago, but like now it's like, what's bully really gonna sound like? That's what I'm saying. Cause it's like, yeah, is this gonna be another era? I mean to cut you off. It's gonna be another era where he's pushing music forward again. And that's what I'm saying. Like, because right now it's like everybody's so worried about Cole, Drake, and uh Kendrick, to where it's like the bullies here, like like Kanye's about to drop some shit to like yo, you forgot about that, you know what I'm saying? Like, really showing I'm still him. I'm I'm the top guy. Yeah, what all this is. You know, you know, you know you know, yeah. If you really think about it, he is the top bull in the game. That's what I'm saying. You know, yeah, he's not gonna just he's not gonna just, you know play on the sidelines, bro. He's gonna get his, bro. He's like, he's gonna get his. I need to fight too. Like, I'm gonna show you that I'm really him. Fuck all y'all niggas. I'm still him. He's like he's like, he's like, Kendrick, you had Kendrick, you had your moment. I'll let you have your moment. Cool, you you popping shit out the trunk right now, cool. Drake. Iceman, we're gonna let you drop Iceman and Bully gonna be like he dropping it before Iceman. I know I'm just I'm just saying that. That's what I'm saying. Like he he or unless him and Drake have a record together. I mean they're both on gamma essentially, so I mean that'd be kind of crazy if they both had a record. I wouldn't put it past it. I wouldn't put it past it. Cause you know, dot, I mean not dot, you know, yeah, he's the type of person he he will really plot twist some shit. Yeah. What do you think that record is gonna sound like? A Yay and Drake record. Come on now. Like current state. Like, what do you think it would sound like? What what type of vibe are we getting though? Are we getting some We would get Prime, Yeah, and Drake, bro? Think about it. But what does that sound like though? Like what like are we getting some soulful like shit? Are we getting some rapity raps? Like what we don't know what we get what we get. There's two, there's a lot of different raps. Like glow.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:48

Watch out for me. I'm about to glow.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:52

I need some, I need something more. Nah, but what? No, glow's right. No, I'm not, bro. You're here what I'm saying. I need, I need, I need, I need a different feel. Okay, you can get it easy. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. Not like you can get a lot from them, bro. That's what I'm saying. I don't know what to expect if that were to happen. It don't matter, bro. If we just got a Drakey Kanye song, bro, I'd be happy, bro. Yeah. Like, you know that shit's not gonna be trash. Well, yeah, I know that. I'm saying figure out what route they would take. It don't matter. But yay, we waiting for bully to drop. Because you said it's supposed to drop, but this month? Yeah, this month. I think the 20th. Oh, so next week. Okay. I believe so. Friday. It was somewhere in the 20th. It was like you know him, he always pushes his dates back, so we'll see. Right. We'll see. Um, I want to touch on this briefly. Who you think is gonna win best actor? You said briefly. I mean, this is a big moment, bro. Like, I as far as who's the candidates. I mean, I know, I know one of the candidates, but like, damn, let's do everybody else's due diligence. But I mean, if why are you looking it up? I think Michael B. Jordan will win this because the I've I've been watching more and more, even previously before the movie dropped, like, how hard it was for him to play that twin of Smoke and Stack. You know what I mean? And the fact that like he literally had to like direct somebody else to play him without even knowing like the exact movements and stuff of what he was gonna do. I mean, that's pretty hard to do, to where it's like, I think that's gonna pull him through to be like the best actor. And he's already he's already getting like a bunch of different awards building up to the to the Oscars for for this film. Alright, so you're not wrong about that. Um so since I'm I brought up the list, so it says the top uh 2026 Oscar nominations. Yeah, this is the 98th Academy Awards. Um Sinners has the most nominations, 16 nominations in total. Um Best Picture, um, F1, uh Bugnia, I think that's what you said. Yeah. Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, Centers, and then Train Uh and Train Dreams. I think the two top, well, the top three probably are gonna be they have a shot. I think obviously Marty Supreme, Sinners, I think F1 are probably gonna be the top three. I haven't seen other ones that are in there. I heard Frankenstein was good too. I haven't watched it though. For this is for best film? This is for best picture, yeah. It's probably gonna be Sinners that's gonna win. I think Sinners is gonna win. Um I've I've heard of I've seen trails for the other movies. They're good as well, too, but nah. Just there's been a far as like obviously the black culture, but also the white culture. Like even Ben Affleck was I was watching the interview with Ben Affleck. He was like, Yeah, bro, like it's the fact that like this type of movie was pushing, not it, it was taking a risk, so to speak. By not just doing the cliche typical movie with the same plot twist and everything. They literally were saying it was taking a risk. That's why a lot of people like appreciated this movie. Yeah, and even when you see all the work that went behind it, I remember how you were saying last episode, because you said you watched it now, but like before you saw all the stuff that like Ryan Krueger did to like make this happen, Michael B. Julia did to make this happen, and then how they even broke down everything, I think that's what added to the element of the film too. How they shot it in they put they put it out in different formats as well, too. Like every every um movie house wasn't shown the same format um of the movie, um, which was cool and stuff. I don't think that's ever been done. Yeah um so yeah, Sinners definitely see the best picture. I think I think that was movie of the year. Like that one, that one or F1, because F1 was you see F1? Yeah, yeah, I fuck with F1 too, but it's like and another thing, I think it's Sinners is getting a lot of rapport because he was saying building this movie, it was a lot of uh collaborative effort between like you know the cast and like just the crew. Because you were saying like building out these characters, they would be the its characters, but it was like there's more, I guess, nuance to it for each individual because it was like, okay, this person can do this, but like why? Right. You know what I mean? But and then we're moving the best director. Um, you got Ryan Krugler for centers, Paul Thomas Anderson for one battle after another, uh Josh uh Savdi for Marty Supreme, um Eskill Volk and uh Yochim Trayer, I think that's how you say it. Uh Sentimental Value, and then Guillermo Del Toro for Frankenstein. I think Ryan Kruger is gonna, it's just his year, bro. I think he's gonna take it. Either him or Guillermo. Yeah, but I just think Ryan Kluger is just one of them. No, I agree. Yeah, you just know you know how like Dot was taking taking home every this is a big year for the West Coast, huh? Big three years for the West Coast. You know, from Auckland. Yeah. Shit. Um, and then the best actor, this is this is some this is heavy hitters too. You got Michael B. Jordan for centers, Leonardo DiCaprio for one battle after another. Uh Wagner Mora for the secret agent. Oh shit, timeout. Oh, Leo don't got a he's never won Oscar, has he? I don't think so. Oh, I don't know. Did he mean it? Has Leo won Oscar? Can you look at I mean I think because wasn't that a whole big thing at one point? Like, he might have. Maybe I I could be wrong. I could be wrong. Let's see. I forgot Leo. It was a big thing for a while. That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't think Leo ever won one, bro. This is the year that Yeah, he has he got his first Academy Award for the Oh in 2016, okay. That was his first. But I'm saying he's been in so many great movies, like, you know what I mean? Wolf of Wall Street, Titanic. Like, he just got one in 2016 for what? Yeah. Renovating? Come on now. That's okay, so he already got one. But that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't know, it might be him or Leo, bro. Like You don't think Timothy uh how you say Salome? Oh, yeah, for that one, what's that movie called? Marty Supreme. Marty Supreme. Wasn't he, isn't it wasn't he in uh he's not in Dune? He isn't doom, but I forget. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, Dunes is good, but he's in a lot of good movies. He's a very good actor. Like they're bro, this one's hard, bro. And they've been pushing him too. Like in the middle of the city. I know, bro. Yeah, no, not in mainstream media. It's hard, bro. Like he's was on college game day and everything. I don't know, bro. Like, I want I want Michael B to win. That's big jersey. But I want Michael B to win, but it's gonna be hit between him and Timothy, I think. I don't think, like, I think Ah, you forgetting about bro. Leo's the bull, bro. You already got his one. He might, this might be the he might start rocking. I'm not like I get you, I guess. I gotta put that in the air, but I get you. I'm trying to I get you. But I think Timothy and Michael B. have been on the crash course, bro. I think they've been on the crash course just so. They got to. Just what like they're the young bulls in this generation that are Leo's Leo though, too. Leo is Leo. Don't get me wrong. B. Jordan's gonna win just because like the the height, the height and around sitters and stuff like that. Yeah. But uh, Leo's still Leo, bro. Yeah. I mean, we'll uh we'll see what happens. I think it's gonna be this is gonna be uh Oscars for the for for for for the uh that we're gonna remember for a minute. Yeah, is there any more film like uh nominations that are important enough? They didn't put it on the list. I have to go to the big list. Those are like the top ones that everybody talks about. Um Yeah. I mean, could could technically Mega B. Jordan win best actor and co-actor or co-star? Um I don't think so. Why not? Why would you best co-star? Spoke, stacked, two different characters. Yeah, but these they're both the lead characters in the movie type shit. Yeah, that's why they get shit. Yeah. Oh, I mean, they got the the best actress. Um says Jesse Buckley from Hamlet. I never seen that. Um Rose, Rose Burn. Uh if I had legs, I'd kick you. Obviously, not either. Obviously, none of the movies that are in the best actress were debated. But they said Sinners are nominated for 16 soundtrack too? Uh, let's see. That was a hell of a soundtrack. I ain't gonna cap. Uh I listed the whole thing. You got original screenplay too. Okay, they might win that one. Um, casting, cinematography. Um, Sinners isn't in cinema. No, Sinners isn't on cinematography. Bro, they bro, I'm trying to tell you, they might clean that shit because casting, bro, they had a hella great casting crew, too. Yo, do you know uh Josh Allen's wife's the the one I think that's what I heard. Like Josh Allen's wife played in Sinners? Yeah, I think she was the Stax uh girlfriend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't know that. That's crazy. Yeah, because they were talking about it on um Josh Allen. On one of the, like he had to miss something. He had to he had to miss her thing because he was in the playoffs or something. It was like one of the one of the premieres? Yeah, it might go like a premiere or something like that. Like it was the premiere worship, but he was in the playoffs, so he couldn't he couldn't go. That's what it gets. Yeah, but centers. Yeah, I mean, but those are the main ones. They might clean house, bro. They might actually win. You think it might go 16 for 16? Nah, I'm just gassing, but they might at least win 10 out of 16. That's a lot. That's a lot. Shout out, shout out Ryan Kugel. Do you think that's um he's bro? I'm trying to tell you, like, where would you rank Ryan Klug and Drexel? I'm getting there, bro. I'm getting there. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He might be like literally on pace's greatest of all time directors, bro. Let's keep it being. You think he surpassed like uh John Singleton? I've been on that. I said this before. Like, I remember I said this before. He's he's better, I think he's better than John Singleton. I think he's better than Spike Lee, bro. Like, and that's some heavy hitters, bro. Do you think he let me see? Yes, Fruitville Station. He has he has what? The Creed, he has, I'm saying that we that are the most notable ones. All the Black Panthers nowadays. Yeah. Those are all box office hits, my guy. I mean, granted, I believe uh whatchamacallit, Michael B. Jordan was probably, I think he was the main director for Creed.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:18

No.

SPEAKER_10 1:16:18

They said he directed it to you. Ryan Kluber was the main director. Like he helped. Okay. Yeah. Okay. But nah, that's my point, though. Like, every movie that he put out, he has put out, has been box office hits. Do you think, do you think uh he's up? I mean, he has to be up there with like the Marshall Skagey, Steven Spielberg. Right, you can look at all you compare him to the white man, but I'm saying he's not. No, but no, but I'm saying, yeah, I'm comparing him because those are the those are like what the movie people say are like those are like the top guys, you feel me? So they are, but that's what I'm thinking. The guy who had the godfather, he just said the godfather part one, part two. Yeah. Like, let's keep it a being. Like, all these people that were were looking at, yeah. They get, I mean, he the only person I probably compare him to is Quentin Tarantino. That yeah, like Quentin Tarantino. Quentin Tarantino, like, bro, like Christopher Nolan's up there too. He got Dark Knight, Inception, Esteller, Oppenheimer, those are all those are some heavy ones, too. Right? Like Tarantino, the dude that did the Dark Knight, because Dark Knight, I ain't gonna lie. We were literally just talking about that at work the other day. Like, like how good the Dark Knight is very what? Dark Knight Rises and the Dark K. How many went through three? Don't quite. I don't know. Don't I'm not the best. There's like two or three. But uh But yeah, I think he's really top five.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:31

Because it'd probably go. If we're doing the top three, you have the Quentin Tarantino and uh, who was the other guy's name? Uh Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan, yeah. But then you have to put the guy after Godfather, because I mean, that was a number number two movie of all time in the top 100. I mean, Steven, Steven Spielberg, he's up there too. He got Endless List draws, E.T., saving private Ryan. Yeah, he has a lot, he has some heavy edges too. Nah, that's a fact. Ryan Kuger's top five, though. 100%. Damn, Steven. He might be top three. Spielberg, nah, I'll give it to you Spielberg. Yeah, that's why I said Spielberg is up there. I forgot. I didn't realize he made uh Chris Scorsese is up there too. He got good fellas, he got uh taxi driver to the party, casino. I get it. He's top ten. He's not above Ryan, though, for me. Ryan, Ryan's top five. I'm gonna stay on staying on that. Would you put him in top three? Because I think his portfolio is more diversified. I'm saying, I'm saying you got Spielberg, might be have to sit at like either two or one. Well, you putting Quentin, Quentin's Quentin won for you? I know you like a lot of. I think you know. I know you love Quentin Tarantin, yeah. Damn. Damn. It might go Tarantino. Real talk. Tarantino's order than one. Tarantino. Yeah. Spielberg. Kugler. Because the only reason why I'm saying Spielberg, bro, I forgot. Like the fact that you show me that he did The Dark Knight, bro. Nah, bro. The fact that you were able to cast Heath Ledger and he died after that, and people remember off that iconic movie, and then you got Tom Hugo. I mean Christopher Nolan did the Dark Knight. Yeah, what'd I say? You said Spielberg by accident. Damn, bruh. God damn. You good, you good, you good. Nah, you fucking hit me up because it's like Chris. Christopher Nolan got look. You can just say the Dark Knight, bro, is what I'm saying. Because Tom Hardy played a hell of a job as Main, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:24

Like, so alright, it goes Tarantino, it goes Spielberg, because like Saving Pride Ryan, all of them. Yeah. It still goes Kugler, then it goes Christopher Nolan. Facts. Facts. Facts. I'll agree with you. Tarantino won. And the guy for Godfather at five. Tarantino's one. I might put Kugler at two right now. Nah. You can't?

unknown 1:19:48

Nah.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:48

Why not? Why can't you? Go back up to Spielberg again. Go back to Spielberg. You said Shinner's list. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, Shinner's. Yeah, he has Raiders of the Lost Star Part. E.T. Okay, okay, Spielberg's two. Ain't you guys saving private Ryan? Okay, Spielberg's two. I'll give you that. I'll give you that. Okay, you do not know. I ain't gonna sit here and cap to you. You got you got me on that. I'm not gonna. That right there, bro. Like, that's the only reason why I kind of put put, you know, Spielberg, not Spielberg. Yeah, Spielberg over the hedge. Like, real talk. Yeah, those are those are those are heavy hitties right there. They are, bro. Yeah. Like people are still watching Saving Pride right until it's granted. You're gonna be watching Black Panther and all this stuff, you know, years later, but like, nah, I gotta give Spielberg to give it its due diligence. You're not wrong. You know? Scorsese's coming at a close five, huh? The one that did The Godfather? He did Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Departed Casino. Nah. I mean, whoever did The Godfather is number five. Has to be. I feel you. Number two movie of all. No, he has two movies. Francis Capella? Yeah, he has two movies. He has two movies. That is top five of all time. Or top five, top ten. I know one's top two. One's top one. Oh, they they put it at twenty at one point now in 2016 when I actually seen it, it was it was number two. But so it got bumped up to number one? I believe so. I think the last time we did list. I think The Godfather was one. It was either one or two. I think The Godfather one Godfather was like number one, and then Godfather two was like number four. No, I think Godfather, I think whatever one was the best one was two, and the other one was like maybe in the top 20. Okay. But regardless. Do you see what I'm saying? Regardless, it's still of all movies in the top 20. You have two placements in the top 20. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, can we give Tarantino one? Because he has he won an Oscar? Tarantino? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Hell yeah. If it wasn't for, it had to be for Pulp Fiction. Yeah, Pulp Fiction, bro, because Pulp Fiction is one of the greatest. That's top 15, I believe. If you can look it up. It's a very great movie, bro. No, it's in the it's in the uh all list. All great lists. They didn't even list Kill Bill on there either. Yeah, Quentin. Quentin, that dude's uh, yeah, he has tilt. That's what I'm saying. And he won for Django and Chang's. That's what I'm saying, bro. Tarantino's up there, bro. Yeah. Wow. I'm interested to see what people think who the best directors are of all time. Because this that's Spike Lee really sitting at number like 30. It's like, nah. I mean, granted, shout out Spike, but I think Spike Lee movies were more for like the culture. Yeah, he has cult classics. Yeah. He makes a lot of cult classics. Yeah, it's supposed to say cult classics. That's how you say it. Nah, it's just that's funny. But I mean, I respect Spike Lee, but like Spiker Johnson.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:27

Shout out, shout out Spike John Singleton.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:30

Well, can you put up John Singleton's movies? I know Spike Lee's movies off the back of my head. Like, yeah. I mean, I don't know, bro. It might have to be. I gotta see the list real quick. Yeah, we'll close out. Spike Lee versus John Singleton. It's a great debate. Um, so Spike Lee, his best known films are Do the Right Thing, Michael, uh, Malcolm X, Jungle Fever, 25th Hour, Inside Man, The Black Clansman. Also added Crooklin. Yeah, Crooklin. I don't know why they put that on. They didn't put on that Crooklin. Um AI don't know everything. True. And then John Singleton, Boys in the Hood, Poetic Justice, Higher Learning, Rosewood, Baby Boy, Too Fast, Too. I might give it to John. Nah, I'm trying to tell you that boy, God, John, John, John, differently. And then you got uh, what's what's that show called? Snowfall. Yeah. We're Virtual Tonkin Film. Nah, you gotta give it to John Singleton on that one. That's my point. Like, culturally, Spike Lee did right. But I'm saying universally, that man John Singleton is a little different, bro. Like he he has cold classics. Like he has cult classics, bro. Poetic justice, boys in the hood, higher learning. Yeah. Like, I mean, Spike's. Alright, I gotta do Spike Justice. I gotta do Spike Justice. So he got he got school days, do the right thing, Jungle Fever, Michael Max, Crooklin, um, he got game. Clockage is a good one. Um, Inside Man, um, obviously Black Klansman. Um those are probably like the biggest ones. Yeah. Womp, womp, womp. Yeah. I'm just, yeah, bro. Nah, Johnny Boy has it, bro. Just the first two you said. Boys and Hunter Poets. If we're gonna just do quote classics, Boys and Hood and Poe Justice and Higher Learning, bro, it outpaces all of them. Besides like. And Baby Boy. Yeah. They still doing memes about Baby Boy to this day, bro. You see what I'm saying? And Too Fast, Too Furious? That's my point. The fact that he did two, the fact that he did Two Fast, Two Furious, and Four Brothers, bro, shows his it. He shows his wide range that he doesn't have to just do, you know, solely black film. Dang, and he directed uh Michael Jackson. Remember the time? I did not know that. Yeah, R.I.P. Yeah, bro. No, you yeah, hell yeah. I didn't know I didn't know that. Oh, really? Hell yeah.
