Chief Ali & Lay Loe Tha Mos

What if you found yourself in a sticky situation like Keke Palmer did recently and weren't sure how to navigate it? With us today, we get to the bottom of this controversy and unveil the concept of 'simping' as well. We humanize the situation, consider if single-mindedness can compromise finding a genuine connection and emphasize the importance of communication and understanding. We also question the ethics behind 'simping' and identify it as a manipulative emotional strategy.

We then transport you on a musical journey, from the swinging 60s up to today's infectious trap beats. Together, we expose our Smoove Old School playlist and how music subtly weaves itself into our daily lives. We break down our personal music habits and preferences, revealing a few of our all-time favorites. Can you guess what they are? Our guest also joins in the fun, as we challenge them to share their top five never-skip songs.

So, do you remember the first time hearing Outcast's 'Rosa Parks' or any other memorable song? We reminisce about the impact of various Hip Hop artists on our lives, including the likes of Will Smith, LL Cool J, Jamie Foxx, and a few others. We appreciate their contributions to the music industry, and the indelible imprint they've left on our hearts. In the end, we hope that this episode urges you to reflect on the soundtrack of your life and appreciate the artists behind them.

Speaker 1:

Yo, what's happening, people? Welcome to another episode of permission to speak freely, season two, season two. Season two Okay, I am your bro, host, lay low the most. Why? Because I lay low more than anybody else. For sure, man, stay in the custom, stay out the way, man, and I'm going to let my man go ahead and introduce, reintroduce himself to the people for this season to. My name is Kenwan Ali Please address me as chief and I am the host of this beautiful podcast that we're building by the name of permission to speak free, absolutely.

Speaker 1:

So we thank you all for tuning in, listening to us. We hope to entertain, hope to make our focus on the listeners and let you in on some of the conversations that we have as family man, businessman and entrepreneurs. Now, how we balance all of these crowns because they heavy man, and some of the things that we consider therapy that helps us do out our day, from the music we ingest, from the people we associate ourselves with, from just the latest news and gossip of Hikipama show that a sure she did, she absolutely did. So what I will say is last season again, thank you all for listening. Last season you all got to know us as fathers, husbands, entrepreneurs and business owners and we kind of want to let you guys in on. Hey, we just guys too. For sure, we like to hang out and do ratchet stuff with our friends, we like listening to music, we talk about sports and we want to dive into a little bit more of that, you know. But I'm glad you kind of brought up the Kiki situation. That's something that we sort of missed. Just being on a little vacation, yeah, just recouping, being between seasons, but if you don't know, in which I'm sure you do, you know, apparently usher I think the word is serenade, so do serenaded, I guess it's more like I said it's what they do usher serenaded.

Speaker 1:

Kiki Palmer, you know, on stage and her baby daddy had a problem with that, had a big problem with that, had a big, big, big problem with that. What should take on that chief? How you feeling? Um, wife, you're not actually talked about this. I'm sure man and she had her views and her comparative boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives, lovers across the world have put themselves in those shoes and said baby, what would you do? That was me for sure. So that's what we're going to touch on, I mean. So that question was brought to me almost in those in that manner of like, hey, what would you, you know, what would you think? So the first thing I did was like, do the research of what really all happened was brought to the world, and I think the biggest flaw that I got I want to call it a flaw the biggest, one of the biggest things that they were, uh, the people had an issue about was what she wore him bringing it to social media, kind of, yeah, man dragging him of his securities and then Kiki Palmer coming back with it.

Speaker 1:

I don't believe in boyfriend, girlfriend. I'm able to do whatever I want to do until I'm married and as a married man, that's kind of one of the most disrespectful things that you can say to someone that you're courting and you, you are, you're dealing with. I don't see yourself, I don't see yourself. And let's let's remove celebrity really quick, you know, cause? She is Kiki, she finds she's sexy, we love her, you know, and if she wants to be married someday, she will be, you know. But removing the celebrity aspect from it, that type of attitude or that take on hey, I'm single until I'm married, just my opinion. You're not going to find yourself married in the end. If that's just the take that you had, because it's and it's almost like a catch 22. You say you're single to marry. Hey, with that attitude, with that behavior, you're likely going to end up single for life. Because ain't no man really going to be putting up with that like that, Not another, not a real man, not a man that can match her or compliment her, yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1:

Some man that maybe uh feels what her offer to celebrity might be sampling over a person. I probably would. I put up with this man. I've had my sim days and I don't think it's wrong. I don't think it's wrong, but simp is to me just and we'll touch on that just for a second man. The simp is like a person that plays on your sympathy, yeah, A person that uh, the way that they, the way that they have to get things, is to play on your emotions, make you feel bad for them, like they've been done wrong. Gaslight, gaslight, gaslight, like I call it. It's real sympathetic. Instead of which, what's being shunned is that kind of that direct, that blunt, uh communication of hey man, I don't know I'm I'm not equipped to kind of break down, you're wrong in a way, to kind of save your feelings of like you need to hear you wrong and we ain't even got to do that. But just let's, just if.

Speaker 1:

If either your woman is geeky or if geeky as your woman I prefer to go to, yeah, I wouldn't mind either way, I'll be the bitch for the while. But you know, put, push yourself in the old buddy shoes really quick. You see this, you, you scrolling. Your woman went to a concert. You probably ain't know what. She was sitting there, close. God damn how you get picked. Ugh, you know, and this happens. One thing I will say really quick nigga, if Janet Jackson picked me out of the crowd cause I'm going, yeah, yeah, I ain't turning that down. So I'll say this man and we, we don't sit in that. The celebrity seat, though we are very, uh, local, no, like we're popular, like the night, 50 mile radius. However, um, I guess, when I look at the big picture of it all, that they're both our celebrities and their job is to entertain. Yeah, I don't feel like I should touch there in an imp in an inappropriate way. Um, but we'll, we'll hang on. You see, cause boyfriends issue, it seems like nothing that us should necessarily be more so how his one is one responded to that attention. Now let me say this really quick Me and Kiki like the same age.

Speaker 1:

Hey, um, I remember being in the second grade at Empire, convict, a 93rd St Claire Shout out to Cleveland, try straight up, trying to get they call me us HRR by trying to get that part right in the cafeteria in the second grade. Kiki has been a fan of this gentleman her entire life, yeah, and now she just happens to be at the age where she, she, she, she's smackable. That's what we're going to listen to. She's smackable, I agree with that. Like that's the man, just like she's attractive, she's an adult. Yeah, she get that, that clam around straight up, so, so, so, when it comes down to it, man, like I don't have it, I should do what he was supposed to do.

Speaker 1:

You know now, kiki, you know she, she, putting them bosoms on them. You know what I'm saying. On the arm right there, got the hand around the way. She got that. She got her pubic hairs on them. She, she got on the uh, you know what I'm saying A swimming suit with sheer. That's what it looked like. Would I want my woman wearing that outfit? No, you know, however, when you're dating celebrity. It's just happening.

Speaker 1:

Outfit show tend to be a little risque. It's going to happen. You know what I'm saying. I don't think that outfit. I saw an outfit. I saw it. I saved the picture. No, I'm just kidding, but I saw an outfit.

Speaker 1:

I saw how that baby did her some justice, did her, did her nice, thank you, thank you, thank you, little mo. She she a mommy? Is she a auntie too? Your mother? Is she a auntie? I know she a mil, for now. Is she a mother? Is she a auntie too? Probably? Hey, man, let's go on and give it to her. You know what I'm saying? She a auntie too. Auntie, kiki, auntie, uh, True, jackson, vp, yeah, yeah, yeah, miss Palmer, straight up man. So back to the shit man.

Speaker 1:

Her, her response to this is what baby daddy had to issue with and I hate to call him that. I believe his name is start with a D. Excuse me, I don't remember the gentleman's name, but she labeled him herself as boyfriend. She don't believe in boyfriend, girlfriend title. So we'll just say he's the boyfriend, out of respect, boyfriend, partner, you know, whatever the case may be. So you know he took issue with this.

Speaker 1:

How would I feel if I go on my phone and I see little Kiki P with usher in this outfit. You know what I'm saying, fanning out. You know what I'm saying. How would I feel? I may feel a little, I may feel pretty similar to how he felt. I just might.

Speaker 1:

But with my response to be that way, uh-uh, because when you come home, alexa played a my way album by usher I'm gonna have my shirt off and I'm gonna be monkey stumping the shit out of little Kiki for like two days, for like two days. Nigga, all usher song. Oh, that's what you like. That's what you like. Okay, you are, I'm gonna usher you to the altar. Yeah, You're gonna like it my way. You're gonna be reaching a whole different climax when I'm with you, you know. So that, and that's just me, you know I'm gonna say all right, that's all right, this is usher, this is usher, this is that.

Speaker 1:

Excuse me, I'm a lot of weather. I couldn't join in. I don't think I did a good job, that's one. No, you did great. I'm gonna join in with you next week on the Falsetto shit. No, excuse me, people, I'm a little under the weather, but I don't know. Man, yeah, go ahead, I'll say this is why he not talking about it and we did.

Speaker 1:

I'm very, as I say before man, I'm very fair in my thinking. I, as a husband, would have wouldn't have had an issue with her going out wearing that, if I'm aware. Yeah, and apparently he did not have issue with it. Yeah, he might not have an issue with it. Remember, the outfit? Of what she did in the outfit, I guess, is what the issue? That's the attitude, her, she, you know, she saw the outfit when she left Korea.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so how she carried herself was to him like, hey, man, you publicly did whatever you did. I'm gonna publicly say something because I disagree with that. I feel like that. So I'm only looking, I'm looking at it from a business point of fact. I think that all it is overall is still like it possibly was harmless, yeah, but, and to me, the way their lives are set up he asked Now, check this out. Because he responded the way he did. That's what made this whole thing go crazy.

Speaker 1:

Him bringing it to social media, I think it's. If I had to choose anything as an issue, him bringing it to social media I ain't doing that. I ain't tripping on the outfit. I ain't tripping on usher that much, but I know he has a gentleman. He a gentleman of. We get the women, yeah, straight up. So I am.

Speaker 1:

You know what I would do, let's say, if he didn't put it out there as him feeling disrespected and perhaps other people took issue with what. Oh no, she got a man and he's getting the chatter of that. You know what I would do publicly at Kiki Palmer, sometimes you're gonna be home, rosie boat, oh, yeah, yeah, she coming home to me. Some people might not have that mindset, but hey, let us show them the pussy up, let them warm it up, get the juices flowing. You know she coming home to me. You know I'm saying for sure, I agree with that. That view, I, I, my view of it is I agree with the A-man. She coming home. I'll have an issue with that. Her job is to entertain what she's doing as a part of her job, she doing her training. She got an ass out. This man had an issue potentially with how she was fanning out as a fan. You know what I'm saying. Like that, she, they still are fans of each other. Yeah, that was so bad.

Speaker 1:

Me and Mika went to go see. I forget who all else was there. All I know is. Ashanti was there and we had some pretty decent seats. Shout out to Ashanti yeah, man, now I'm not gonna make a point to like the way I was acting, cause I'm a man. What I look like. Oh my God, ashanti. Nah, it wasn't like that, but the way I felt. Damn, she is banging In person. She like 28 feet away from me, right there, that's Ashanti, with all them thighs, legs. What kind of lotion she use? I can smell it. She smell like vanilla and strawberry. The perfect ratio 60 to 40 blend, like a 70, 30. Yeah, yeah, you're a custom man for that. Yeah, man, 70, 30 blend. But nah, man, but that's my take, or that's our take.

Speaker 1:

On the whole Kiki Parm situation Me, I don't have a problem with what Usher did. I may, if Kiki was. I may take just a little bit of issue with just me, seeing that you know what I'm saying, because if Kiki were just some regular chick, it wouldn't have gone as viral. Usher do this to bitches all the time. He say her name. Women all the time. Yeah, but do some, that's part of his show. Yeah, but because it's Kiki, share, ooh, don't shoot in the shoe. I wonder how her man feel about this. There's two big names. You know me, I'm handling that totally different and it may be public just for the. You know the naysayers out there. They gon' stream real Kiki Parm At the real Kiki Parm. They googling her straight up One time. You gon' be home, kiki, I be home, that's me All right. Yeah, man.

Speaker 1:

So let's get into some music. Man, I don't think we tapped on music at all last season. We big music people yeah, we just talked about Usher and Kiki. Yeah, they make music, they make songs and stuff. So, man, tell me a little bit about what's in your current playlist. Right now.

Speaker 1:

I listen to a lot of old school music. Dude, my wife and my kids make fun of me and stuff. Man, when I was down in Charlotte with my brothers, man, I thought they would've appreciated this, so I put on my Smoove Old School playlist that I created. I think I sent it to you. My Smoove Old School playlist. I got I don't know how many songs is on this. One day I'm letting Alexa do her thing and everyone I like, or everyone that needed to be in it. Alexa, add this to my Smoove Old School playlist and it's probably it's well over 150 songs in there.

Speaker 1:

I listen to a lot of old school music. When you say old school, it seemed like for this generation, if you were born in the 1900s, that's old school technically. So give a, if you can give a year genre of the old school music that you listen to and that'll kind of give listeners your age as well 60s, temptation, 50s, smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Dales, donny Hathaway, luther Vandross, anita Baker You're in the 80s now. I'm getting this but through it's all. It's all in the playlist together and I love it. It makes me feel good. It gives me a.

Speaker 1:

You know the music you listen to is. We talk about this in time of time. It's part of your diet. I'm ingesting all of this real quality love music. You know what I'm saying, my girl. You know what I'm saying Talking about my girl. It make you feel good man.

Speaker 1:

And I enjoy listening to trap music from time to time. I feel like a lot of the younger dudes. They growing on me. I actually play some Kodak in 21 Savage. Now, when they first came I was like I don't like these. Now they growing, they growing up on it, they growing up. They're diversifying the music.

Speaker 1:

I'll say you know what I'm saying and I believe that that, just as I listen to them too, man, I'm an album listener to her. I listen to album. I dedicate 47 minutes, 48 minutes, to an album. That's a task to me. You know what I'm saying. But I love your music, genre and playlist. I love your artist. Yeah, that's my goal too.

Speaker 1:

What about you, man? What's some of your go-to artist? Not even go-to just on a Saturday morning man. What you popping on? How are you getting your morning started? So on a Saturday morning, man, I actually it breaks down. I can break down my day too. I can micromanage my day. So on a Saturday morning, it's the day where I relax the most, at least in the morning, because most of my family are sleeping in. Yeah, so I'll get up between that 3 AM and 6 AM window. That 4 15 is the sweet spot. 4 15 AM is the sweet spot. When I hit the floor, the devil get mad, hey, and I get to. I thank God just on my meditation of like hey, man, I appreciate I ain't might not have slept well, but I appreciate just getting some sleep For sure.

Speaker 1:

I head to my garage, my dojo. The real man came. Yeah, yeah, I go in there. You gotta go through some obstacles to get in there. That's my spot, my little sanctuary in the house, but I go in there and I go through my catalog of music. My music sets my tone for the day yeah, it legitimately sets my tone for the day, and I try to listen to new music, and new music meaning new artists that I found, a new genre of music that may have come out, a new hot song or a song that's new to me, that I've never heard before by an artist that may be somebody that I'm familiar with is going through their catalog. New music makes me do new thing.

Speaker 1:

Each song that I have in my playlist I got about it's called my Feel Good playlist. That I play every day, each song, because probably about 266 songs in there and it continues to grow. I have an emotional connection with each song, so anytime I need to feel good, I automatically go to this playlist. You may come over and be like man you've been playing the same 18 songs. It's like no, I just I started from the beginning and by the time I get Feel Good enough, I'm on song 18 to go do what I need to do. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, straight up, but Saturday morning I'm playing things that connect with me. I caught me recently playing Forrest Hill Drive by J Cole. I caught me playing Shahada Print, which I know of no Dope. On Sundays I caught me playing Graduation by Kanye West and it just made me fall in love with West all over again. It's like we talked about Junior Lucas on one of the other albums episodes.

Speaker 1:

Man, yeah, not crazy, ok, he just speaking on a frequency that 85% of people can't get. They won't get. It's a very Muslim number. Yeah, they won't get. 5% will, yeah, the other 10%, yeah. And in between they, in between, they made no decision. I'm listening, but I don't know Whatever way to win, but my music sets the tone.

Speaker 1:

So I mean so let's, let's get into it, man. I mean top five, all genre, all time. What you got, man, the one you ain't never skipped these songs, you ain't never. This song, come on, you ain't even think about the skip button. Somebody touch it. Hey, let go back One of them, that's a good one. Talk to me, man. So I'll start with artists now to kind of help me branch out songs. So Luther Vandross is one of my favorite artists, one of my favorite male artists, yeah, it's so Voice unmatched man. One of them, funny to my man, unicorn man, you ain't never heard nobody. Oh, he sound like Luther. It was Slim Luther and even chunky Luther. So I've never generally skipped a Luther song. I generally never skipped a Delphanix song. Ok, delphanix, you didn't fucking know, only you.

Speaker 1:

All these songs taught me how to sing, though Like I would, because my mother would not allow us to Listen to the flamingos, bruh, the. I'm listening to the teenagers. Oh, oh shit, bruh 40. Ok, they're listening to Frankie Lyman. Tv's just came out To black and white at a time when artists or fans didn't know that the artist was black. Very true, they didn't know until they seen them live on the show. They seen them live somewhere and they're like Didn't know Frankie Lyman was black. He got naps, yeah, it's real. He got natural hair, real man. He hit us with teenagers though, man, but those, these are music that I would listen to, that I would feel like the songs had. I feel like all music has a message. Yeah, but these songs were straightforward messages and it really paid homage to the songwriter that I'm not a juvenile delinquent, yeah, so it plays homage to the songwriter, plays homage to the musicians of how they had to play the instruments, but all of that, the frequency that they did it on just that genre of music, that era of music it touches.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, um, I listen to a lot of lo-fi. Okay, I listen to a lot of lo-fi. Explain to the people what is lo-fi, what lo-fi? Lo-fi music Is more instrumental music. Okay, the songs within themselves, with the melodies, the frequencies of the song, they kind of tell a story within themselves. Not much lyric, not much lyrics at all. If any lyrics you might have a vocal sample in there, but it's generally just, it's almost like the break, the whole song or is, um, it's real chill by real meditation vibe, it's really like you hone in on yourself and it lets my thought. It's like background music. So some people who listen to Nature sounds to sleep, that's in there, like fire crackling, different thick little birds chirping. It lo-fi is music like that. It's just, it's, it's, it's organic sounds and music that kind of help.

Speaker 1:

I like listening to um, jazz, specifically piano jazz or jazz piano. You know something about the piano man. It always just that's my interest. An instrument, if you will, I don't play, but when I hear it and honestly I think a lot of the songs I tend to gravitate to, unconsciously out, because it's it's piano, it's got a piano break in there or the piano plays a huge part In the way the melody goes and I wouldn't even realize it, like, yeah, man, piano always kind of been my, my instrument. You know for sure, I admire people who play. I admire people who play the piano because it's a, it's a skill that I've always wanted and never, never, obtained. But I would admire people who can just play by ear. They can get on there. Thelonious monk, yeah. Ray Charles, stevie, jamie Fox, yeah, you know, man, just man, just all of these talented, beautiful musicians, man, I look up to their craft of like, if I could play this or I could play that, I'll be a total package on this. Down to third, yeah.

Speaker 1:

But um, when it comes to music, man, I think you brought up a really good point where certain songs make you gravitate towards. I like songs, what my jazz head to like. Jazz is probably my favorite genre. I think it's probably why I like lo-fi so much, because jazz it can play without words, but the music itself, the production, the symphony of it all All completely tells a story, completely tells a story. So, when it comes to jazz, man, I listen to Uh, a various amount of artists, man, but I like myself, or find me gravitating towards, production that has a lot of brass, a lot of horns and then a lot of trumpets, a lot of. That's one of my favorite instruments, always feel like I could play, because I feel like there's only like three he Some of my favorite songs. If I go and listen to, um, if the production has horns and I kind of Find me moving towards it. I like Manny Fresh as a producer because he has that southern Louisiana With Manny Freshman.

Speaker 1:

What I say about him as a producer, his voice a lot of producers, swiss beast falls into this category. His voice Is an instrument. You know, I can't even explain too much about it, but you know, like taking it to swiss, swiss and put it, hey, his voice, his voice is a, is it all? He's using it as a instrument. Even just the little, the little sounds and things like that. He put it where he puts around it. So real quick, man, you.

Speaker 1:

You mentioned Luther because I want your top five. I'm gonna get it out of you. I want five songs out of you today, man, I ain't even thought about. You mentioned luther. I'll probably do. Luther is one.

Speaker 1:

Let's start with luther and we'll start with artists. Time, yeah, do the artists. And then I can bring out Luther song, that one that if you had to pick, I know it's hard house is not a home. I gotta change my list now. Man, house is not a home. His man, the way he move his voice up and down, man base bear tall. I mean, I had I had a house. It's not a home. On my list it's right here, not a home, but um. And then my other one with what is endless love. I think it's endless love with him. And uh, don't correct me because rp, look at two, I don't want to be wrong, we gotta get okay. So next artist, next artist will be uh, damn man, you put me on the spot. Hey, okay, we any. John L L Cool Jack. Okay, I need love, I need love. Hello, cool J, I need love. I never skipped that song.

Speaker 1:

That song changed Of the range that rappers would go and how they were viewed. Yeah, it opened up a lane for him. Big daddy came. Yeah, um, all of the men that started. You seeing a pussy was a uh, yeah, uh, it's an avenue from there to to.

Speaker 1:

You know, songs like overnight celebrity let's. Let's rap to the women and about the women. I can, I can make you celebrity overnight, but that's for real. This is for the women. Because rap music was so heavy and I was listening to an interview was an mc8 and I forget who else was in the interview, man, but they said you know, in the late 80s, early 90s, backpack rap Existed but it took a backseat. It took a third row To gangsta rap, to NWA, to like outside of, say, you say like a public enemy. You know, and we talking two different coasts at this point and a lot of people don't recognize that that that that west coast sound sometimes didn't make it to east coast, very east coast didn't make it very true, very true. So let's keep it pushing.

Speaker 1:

Man, I mean another artist, and give me one song. You mentioned 2014, force hills dry. What's that song on that album which I believe is on my list to me, I, my paper, my bad bro, be very similar. What's that song? We are man. What is that song on 2014, force hills dry. And let me say this you actually bought me that album. Your ass went to the Wherever best buy, wherever you got them from and you bought two of the day it came out. You got one for you and one for bro. I love you, man, I love you for that man, you you worth $12. That was like 17, I think I did the lux this year, yeah, but I want to say, uh, love yours, love yours, um, and I like artists that uh gear towards me, yeah, of a person who is uh intellectually available, as intellectually emotional, that speaks towards that.

Speaker 1:

Can that, can that can put to put us, they can put a situation into melody. That's what song is um and I I feel like Cole has for his style and what he does. He's mastered and that's one of the songs from that in that album that I love, that I gravitate towards. Um, that pushes me forward to my next artist that I like. Let's go, it's coming to me, man, it's rolling. Common Okay, common is always been one of my favorite artists, favorite favorite, favorite, favorite favorite artists, just always, wouldn't? I love that chicago sound, I love that. It ain't but five hours from cleveland. Two or six, it ain't five hours away. Yeah, we definitely neighbors, man, um, but I love that. I love to comment from His album was one of my favorite albums is finding forever, okay, and the whole album was.

Speaker 1:

I want to say about what year that one come up, whatever year. Yate was on top because I want to say Finding forever came out to 2006, 2008, okay, so this was now not. Bb came out before. This was after that, because b was go was on b. Yeah, that one was on b Um, finding forever was, I think that one would.

Speaker 1:

Uh, what, when he was dating to rajee, he was some of the best music he made. I wonder why she probably do that to you, man. She probably do that man. Um, so common. And then, last but not least, I want to say I gave you four, you gave me three, a three, so I gave you Love, yours. Our house is not a home, so I'll get you loose. Find it forever. Jaco Comment. Uh, I need two more.

Speaker 1:

I have to put this next one together because I feel like One is raw by themselves. They showed that they can do it by themselves. Don't tell me you're about to say hey, yeah, not not hey, but that group, though, I feel, I feel like he was going Okay, okay, it's for sure. Uh, aquimina, the album, okay. And then, and that was their second album. That was the second album. That's the album.

Speaker 1:

I think it is at the source of words 90 If it's source of what that's 97, 97. So when the south was, when he's like south got something to say. So I was like, and I got the. I got the fall in love with the poetics Andre 3k, and I got the fall in love with the, the futuristic pimpalicious, alana soul Shift, the best boy. But here he's like, I got the, I'm on the motor, I got my quota, but like I love his style and I loved, uh, I love. And then you would always have that battle between who was better than it was. Like they both can hold their own and either one of them. To me this is an artist. That are music. Neither one of them outshined the other on any track.

Speaker 1:

I want to touch on um International players anthem really quick. When I was younger, um, everybody love three stacks. First, everybody, they play that at wedding Snickering. I type the text that everybody going on. We know that. We know when sweet jones come in my picture, choose, we love that. And if she don't love your sponsor, don't know. Sweet jones verse.

Speaker 1:

And that you can't fuck without a rubber, never in the sheets, like it on top of the cover. Money on the dresser. Drive a compressor, top notch holes. Get the most, not the lesser, trash. Like the fuck for 40 dollars in the club. Fucking with you, lame, so you get snow. Love man, rest in peace, pimpsie. Rest in peace, pimpsie. But that you'll be giving money, giving all that shit, a thousand popping, pulling pitless off the lot. Niggas like fucked up the red one. He's like fucked up the black one, the gray one, and bought me a red, just hard. I didn't even mean to go through the whole verse, but just hard, hard. So that is self like say and I give you this. My watch the interview, I think, with uh bum be, shout out to bum be.

Speaker 1:

He has stated that they sent that song to andre and he was like he couldn't rap over the uh the drums, so he just wrapped over the the like the uh the melody. I heard Something different. There's no. Pat got a version. It wasn't called international play. Everybody got a version to that sample. Okay, um, they got that from. Um, juicy and um, I'm having a brain fart. Three, six mafia, dj, paul and JJ made that beat. All right, yeah, yeah, they produced it. They excuse me, they told them. They said, hey, man, we wanna do that, that's something we really like that. They said, oh, we can make you a better one. And they said, no, I want that one Just the way it's arranged, like we want that one. Don't touch it, send it through, you know. And so they sent it the way it was drew up For Pat's you know version of the song and they turned that joint into a smash man.

Speaker 1:

But what I was gonna say? Bun B verse, hard as a young man, as a younger man, as a teen, cause this song came out in my high school. I completely undervalued Big Boy's verse. I may, even I might even get it off, I may even stop rapping. You know what I'm saying, cause he's rapping and stuff Any mini verse, any with the vision. I pick or make my selection. I just don't be picked. You know. It's kind of like my protection on who I choose to be with Slipping to something I don't do, tipping for life Every month on schedule, just like making it rain every month on schedule. You voted Woody said you better, don't give me the fucking nothing. I know the verse. I'm gonna skip that part. It's gonna get wetter. Better, prepare you for that C support. She's supposed to spend it on that baby, but we see she don't.

Speaker 1:

As Paul McCartney, the lawyers couldn't stop me. Yo, as a man, now I wait for Big Boy verse to come through. You know what I'm saying. Just didn't get it. As a young man To the last pump Straight dump in the gut, we already know, man. But as a man now, we you know you grow when you go through some things. Man, big Boy, I apologize, I apologize and then I need my fault. Man, I was only like 11, so forgive me, but as I grew, as I grew, it's like ain't man, you think you're talking about me. I'm not wrong, he's thinking. He's thinking talking about me. Man, it's solid man. So I do not undervalue Big Boy at all, absolutely. So give me your outcast song or a or a three stack and a Big Boy song, I'll let you sneak in.

Speaker 1:

But I like which made me a fan of them, me and you, okay, yo, mama and yo, cubs in two. That made me like this song as a kid. When that came out, I was probably like 11, so don't judge me, yeah, but when that song came out, that line, as a kid just was like me and you, yeah, yo mama and yo cubs in two In the back of my at Big Ed RP, big Ed RP, Big Chief, in the back of his Riviera. That song came on On Cata Riviera 97. He, he had to think about 87. He had a white one and a red one. Man, he had one of them.

Speaker 1:

That's one of my dream cars, the ones that was big like them, monty Carlos, you know they all are All interchangeable. On cars, dora, heavy to the motherfuckers, smash your hand in that shit. You got cut that bitch off. But that's the first time I remember hearing that song and it was like I'm with my family, I'm with my cubs and we all kicking in. It was just stuck with me. I didn't understand the poetic of it until I got older and I started listening to like I became a hip hop head. I became a legitimate, legitimate hip hop head, like a former artist that did music, and it felt like I was really good man. I'm passionate about whatever I set my mind on. So I felt like obtained, like listening to that music and learning how to write, learning how to be expressive, seeing how different Andre was from Big Boy, but they both spoke on the same Calibur or any mesh. That was something man, very, very special.

Speaker 1:

From Billboard, I believe they did a top 50, 100. Outcast came out number one, which I disagree with, but we'll talk about that in another time. Talk about that on another one. So, number one, man, let's get down to it. Drum roll. Last one, and it might surprise you Okay, he's a female. Okay, mc Light Hot damn hoe. Here we go again. Oh, man, need that. Just on the disc record of like first thing I heard, and you gotta have a disc record in there too. God, that's what you show, especially in hip hop. He hit us with the MC Light though. Mc Light Hot damn hoe. Here we go again.

Speaker 1:

When I heard that as a kid on the diss out from a woman and I liked MC Light, I love Queen Latifah who, I feel like, paved the way for your rap. I love Queen Latifah who rap city, probably one of the, probably one of the best female artists Like right now. Almost definitely put a mixture of the Brat I see her, the mixture of MC Light that I see here. You about to make me throw some extra shit in my list. The Brat, tic, tic, tic, make yo neck snap back. Herman Jermaine, the pre-owned funk for a minute. Shout out to Dayton, ohio. Shout out to Cincinnati, ohio. Shout out to the Ohio players, the Ohio players, boosie Collins. Now, what I will say, I forgot about Boosie. Put Boosie on him too. Absolutely, man, what I'm, I'm rather big with you. What I will say as far as?

Speaker 1:

So, so Def at that time on and funk, you know, brat she was. I heard she was supposed to be a female Snoop Dogg. I could see that. I could see that Cause you know, not that you Draying them on funk, but that was literally her role. You would need, like a female Snoop Dogg, and that's what she was, to come in the industry and be had the braids. You know what I'm saying. The way she dressed, the way she talked, and even having that funk, funk was out West Lady of Ray and them yeah, they was doing that, the doggy's angel was funk, dre was doing that, and a lot of people. They, you know they don't like to give Dre his proper credit for whatever reason. I wasn't there, but what I do know is his name was on the back of the aisle, he was reducing this shit. So the whole, the whole G funk and the melodies, man and the bass and everything. Man, it was just that funk.

Speaker 1:

I won't say so, so never on funk, especially being that she even said herself, like, yeah, I was supposed to come in and be the female Snoop Dogg and compliment Snoop. Hmm, you know, that's what she was supposed to be, man, Wonderful top five, bro. Yeah, man, every diverse. And you made me. I had to think about it. Yeah, I had to go through my memory of, like man, what songs or artists that I connect with.

Speaker 1:

And here's the thing, man, and here's the beautiful thing about music, man, when I asked you again, in six weeks, season five, you might have a three of them songs. They're gonna be on there, they're gonna be in the top 10. But the listeners become more sure. We listen to so much music, man. It's hard to do a five, man, but I cheated, so I was gonna ask you, no, man, so I gave you my five.

Speaker 1:

I didn't prepare it, so you did, man, I was prepared. However, however I did, I've been thinking about this. I've been planning this all week. So what do you say? You've been planning this all day, like, I've been planning it all week. I've been planning it all week. You wanna he said something. You wanna show some, but show some, you wouldn't. You would make your little baby nuts around the corner. But if you're cool, if you're cool, we have to do that list of actors too, man.

Speaker 1:

But let's one topic at a time. I'll write that down. Now Let me get your top five song or artists. I got the song. Okay, I'll slide the artist in too, because I tell you what my favorite, my all time favorite music artist don't necessarily have one of my top five favorite song. Okay, you know what I'm saying. So it'll bring me to something. I heard Monica and Timberlain.

Speaker 1:

They was talking and they said would you rather have a number one record or three in the top 10? I do three in the top 10. When they had three in the top 10. You know what I'm saying. You can have one record, that's hot. I got three. I'm number four, number seven and 10. You see me three times. I got one, I'm getting rotate, I'm getting play. You know saying so. Um, no, particular way too hard for me, man. This song is one that I've only recently gotten hip to. When I say recently, I'm talking three years, that's recent to old people. Um, donnie Hathaway, for all we know.

Speaker 1:

I love that song. I love that song, freedom speakers, when it's my time to go have somebody sing that song at my funeral. And it's not a dark song, it's a beautiful song. It's a beautiful song. But we don't listen to a man, wonder, wonder for some end of the the. The patience that he had. Even when I try to sing along with it, I'm starting too early. On the next line, I'm starting too late. He was so patient. This is the way his son and piano, mm-hmm, you know Sam Roberto flag back there doing her thing. You know, but the patience on that record, man, love, love, love that song. I did that and that'll be one that'll forever be in my top five, along with the someday will all be free, love. Donnie Hathaway forgot about that one, but I know Donnie Hathaway itself love that song and that and um, someday will all be free.

Speaker 1:

To me I feel like that's a song that was made for men. It sounds like he's speaking to men in that song. He's speaking to young men, older men in that song, just giving word advice. You know, keep your self-respect, keep your stride. You know, put your worries aside. Like stay focused. That's what it sound like to me. I sent it to my little brother like hey, man, listen to this. When you feeling the frustrated, listen to this. You know I'm saying mm-hmm, so I put that in as the honorable mention. Um, you stole two of my songs love your right, so love love yours was and is in my top five.

Speaker 1:

But just for the sake of conversation I replaced that with another J Cole record, runaway from born-centered man. I totally different when everybody said but my games popped off on that one where the hell man and that was and that was the funny part, man. But you see, that song and let me say this also, just my opinion, you know, and it's my opinion, it's not to be challenged. So the born-centered album caught me at a time in my life with, like, what I was going through and experiencing being a new father. It caught me at a time in my life that is the soundtrack to my early 20s, along with the sideline story, cold War, along with that album, this is a soundtrack to my early 20s. So every time Cole come out with an album, fire hard. To me he's the lame beat, born-centered. That's just my opinion. It's solely based off of what I was going through and the way J Cole hit me with certain songs. Oh, man, he talking to me's how I became a J Cole fan. He talking to me. So run away, man. Give me my space, lord, in enough time to chase all these dreams. Man, go and listen to it if you just want to refresh or get familiar with that track. Wonderful record, wonderful melody. I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it was a sample. I couldn't pinpoint where it's from, but just a beautiful, beautiful record, man, run away, run away, run away, run away. I'm holding on beautiful record.

Speaker 1:

My second song that you stole I'm sorry from me copying off my test, I'm sorry was a house is not a home by Luther Vandross. Once again, I replaced it with another Luther song and I may have rushed it. I may have rushed it. Wait for love, wait for love. That is one of those, excuse me. We live in a time where men and women, we out there hunting and often find ourselves forcing relationships with people that you know damn well. Your mama told you in your grandma baby ain't one. But you try to try to force it. Oh no, I can change him. It's gonna work, it's he loves me. Wait for love, wait for love. Get yourself reacquainted with that record. Beautiful song, beautiful song by Luther Vandross man, so that's definitely in the in the list as well. Man, hit you with a lot of old school on this one man with it, though, man, you taking me back, yeah, the next one, and this is a song.

Speaker 1:

I have five memories of listening to this song with my uncle, with my uncle Lawrence. We used to go by on Saturdays and clean the church and he will be playing also have a whole like gospel top five too, but we just gonna keep it. What's the word starts with an S secular, secular. Don't keep it secular right now. I mean non-religious music. Cruising by Smokey Robinson and I'm not sure if the meal cruise or there not, but cruising by Smokey Robinson. I don't know if I hit the note right now. You do it, you're doing amazing. Don't be confused. The way is clean. If you want it.

Speaker 1:

This is not a one-night stand baby. You know the instruments, everything. It's Smokey's voice, man time, legendary, another unicorn, and I guess that's why these folks are singers man, all of them are, are different Luther Vandross, his voice man. Smokey Robinson's voice, david Ruffin and the temptation. I'm David Ruffin and these are the ten stations and we love, we love the movie. You know saying a lot of it. We even I mean, I was born in 91, I directly got put on also for my uncles, because they be playing this shit, but us being given a visual, being able to actually see this long-ass movie that they play all summer on VH1 I don't know Tyler gonna change that.

Speaker 1:

Please don't. Please, don't keep that tape in the VCR. Play that shit, play that shit twice daily. Digitally remastered that shit, though. But why you always unwrap the job is to be my father, what you be my father.

Speaker 1:

They could have got a little dude from Detroit man. He was straight out of Britain man. But Smokey Robinson, cruising man, that's one of those. It's one that may find itself in slot number six, you know seven, but nonetheless it ain't getting skipped, you know. And last but not least, man, much like you surprised me with MC Light. I shall surprise you.

Speaker 1:

I see, one of my favorite song I'm talking from, produced by rhythm D, in my opinion the greatest hip-hop, this record of all time, easy E, gangsta dracester, bg, knockout real motherfucking jeeps. That's an impressive top five. Now, look, I said a lot there, because when we think of this record, most of us, depending on where you was born, your brain may go ether, take over no Vaseline, you may reach back and go there. Who shot you? You know I'm saying, which all respected. Biggie was not a diss record, it was a coincidence, but by default it falls in the box. You know I'm saying, and of course, hit them up real motherfucking jeeps if you have not heard it. And they skipped this part in the movie.

Speaker 1:

There was a very heated beef going on between Rufus records and death row after Dre left. They completely left that out of the straight out of coffee movie. They didn't talk about it in that one bit. They was. They went through the no Vaseline be and a hundred miles and running by NWA, you know, but they did not touch on the beef because easy E was the underdog man. All his artists left. It was just him and like well I am a lot of people don't know well I am was part of a group called the I may be getting a name wrong the act bang clan. He was signed to Rufus Records. That's where will I am got his start and I believe one of the other members of the black eyed peas was with him. You know what's the name. Like Fergie wasn't there or like Apple, but will I am, was there, will I am actually produced a beat on a bone.

Speaker 1:

Thugs and harmony album. Strength and loyalty is called streets, featuring the game. So that is a roof of this records, compton bone. It's some. It's some family in that song. Just when you can, when you can put it together, you know. But real motherfucking jeeps and yo doctor is another proper track and it's yo. Listen to it, listen to a 20-time at the baseline.

Speaker 1:

Bg knockout was like 17 years old. This thing was still in high school. He had to record that, shoot the video and then I saw him. He did interview man. He went to go to school after that video came out but he had to drop out. He literally dropped out cuz he yeah, like three months of school. He was a scene. Damn, finish school kids, finish school, finish school. But no real motherfucking jeeps or the radio edit real Compton City jeeps. But this was a distract aimed at primarily dr Dre. Snoop Dogg should night death row as a whole. You know, real motherfucking jeeps, man. And if you don't know how to spell motherfucker Ph, you KK.

Speaker 1:

I in jeeps offer the is on dr Dre when a seven on killer EP and that rounds out my top five man. Hey man, I love your top five, thank you. I love your top five, your artist selection, how you was able to explain how each song really actually a the connected with you. Yeah, and you said you got some, put some thought into it. You know, I'm saying I mean, this one makes me feel this way, this one makes me feel that way, but I think that's a music is supposed to do that or it. If it can do that, I feel like is is doing his job. It's supposed to make memorable time. You know I'm saying so.

Speaker 1:

I think your top five speaks to your character, like who you are, which you are real motherfucking jeep, real motherfucking jeep. And I wait for love. Who don't? We know, I'm cruising, hey man. So I say this man, when it comes to this records just on a, on a cuz, mc lights was damn whole. Here we go. Yeah, it was the nth, was it this? And who was she aiming at? I want to say not shantae Roxanne, but shantae Roxanne want to be for everybody, but I want to say it was um, she was beefing with, like Moni love or somebody, okay, but it don't. Don't. Don't quote me, let me go do my, let me go Wikipedia and Google, but it was like nigga, just a beef of it for any listeners man. Correct is on on any of our information that that may be incorrect, but, um, honorable mention on this records is, I could say, one of my favorite artists a little cool J jack the Ripper. Okay, I thought you was gonna jack the Ripper, I'm tripping cuz it technically, 5-4-3-2-1 was not a disc record, he just decided to go a certain way, but he did. He did go aiming at cannabis, yeah, and cannabis came back with second round knockout, yeah, which made me a fan of cannabis one cuz I felt like One.

Speaker 1:

Let's get back to this. Michael Maum, if I ever left my son to turn it to a time bomb, but just, you don't want to borrow that. You want to idolize. You don't want to make me mad, nigga, you want to socialize. I'm ripping every MC in the game. Play yourself out of position by mentioning my name, ll. It would be like I make a beef for every single one of your name.

Speaker 1:

But the nigga was hard, me on hard. I'm like this and I like that. Lil is one of my favorite rappers. I need love. He can't live without his radio. He can't live without his radio. I'm bad, the nigga was like a dog. Kumo D, iced tea, yeah, but just ain't. He was put up for the ladies and he beat janny fox up and oh shit, yeah, bullifar Queens, but it was. I liked him as an artist of a. When he found his avenue of women, because even cannabis hit him, like nigga, 99% of your fans were high heels and he told that nigga that 99% of his fans don't even exist, oh, oh. But when he found his avenue of women, of like hey, this is for the women, and he, as I did, like I told y'all listen to the podcast not too long ago, with a Ice team, one of those other artists prior who was phenomenal in music but turned to television, mute radio, turn to movies and that blue sea and you know what? He died. That's another good one, man.

Speaker 1:

And Perhaps Brad, you know, let's go ahead and touch on that really quick and then we can close out. Bet, bet, bet, top Musician or rapper, you know, now you got to be elite in both. Yeah, you know saying I'm talking elite in both who transferred over to the silver screen or the big screen and it's just a juggernaut on both ends. I got a few folks in mind. But who would you put at at the top of that Mount Rushmore, so to speak? Just want who did it best with music and bars and rap, and then is a beast on this big screen, okay, so if we starting there that they started in music and then transitioned over to Movie first, I'll probably say Queen Latifah.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I'll go ahead and give it to the Queen first from pulling music in from the 80s. Who you calling a bitch? Ladies, first Living single, bring it down the house, Set it off Last holiday, last holiday. When you take Cleo from, set it off. And then Georgia from last holiday. I love that. Move Georgia from last holiday. It's like how in the fuck Chicago she was in? Yeah, so Queen, like solid ass. Yeah, I'll say her first man, will Smith. Yeah, I give it to big Willie. Stop now. Now check it though.

Speaker 1:

I mean we don't, we don't want to, we absolutely don't want to discredit. You know LL as as a rapper, but you know when you, when you think of like your favorite rappers I know he got the screen, he got the screen, you know I'm saying, but when it comes to the music, I mean how many, how many fresh Prince tracks you got in your playlist, probably five, yeah, you know. But I got eight LL albums, yeah for sure. So we'll all respect the will man. We love.

Speaker 1:

Parents just don't understand, shout out to the first rap, grammy, get you some time as a classic man. I love, I love him in the black soundtrack, but, um, but we talking about both, okay, you know. So, yeah, he wasn't, but I'll say he made iconic music. We'll make iconic music he made, but he didn't. The parents listen to rap. So much for the 11 12 year old. He, it. You know, I'm saying you can listen to fresh Jesse Jeff and fresh Prince, okay For sure, compared to you, can. I won't listen. I won't listen to listen to Chuck D snoop dog. You can't listen. This a. You can't listen to my mama, couldn't stand snoop dog man. So I'll say the Queen first. Will Smith I put him in as an honorable mention, but I do like him due to he has made songs that still play now, yeah, and and he's Been the main star on a big screen. I love LL, but LL never was the Star of the.

Speaker 1:

He was, he was, he was, his name was uh God and in. I think it was in too deep With him in uh was Omar F. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was. His name was. I think his name was god and they were supposed to be in Akron, not deep blue sea, and I think I'm into deep. Yeah, yeah, that was. There was an Akron, there's an Akron. He's supposed to be um, and I love that movie too, because they they telling you staples of us being from the 216, getting to hear order 33. Oh, yeah, we're 33. Oh, he's only 30 minutes away, local stuff that you know, like we going out st Clair man, we on route 90, we don't even he. And even before he went undercover in Akron, he was working up in Cleveland. You know he mentioned like, yeah, I was undercover up in Cleveland. Yeah, so I um, we, uh, now we'll um.

Speaker 1:

Ll never was the main character. So though he Top albums, got this on the third he did transfer over to you, right, wonderful actor. I mean, he played a solid B, maybe C roll, but he never was like the a. Yeah, that's true, that's true, he never made it. So I, so that brings me into like the jammy fox is of Jamie Foxx. He started in improv. Yeah, he started in comedy. That ain't fair, jamie Foxx, probably like my one of my favorite people, man, just to save everyone else we mentioned it we got to leave Jamie off the list. It's not fair.

Speaker 1:

He, he, jay me is A unicorn. Red, yeah, he's a unicorn. One of those like comedy, music, acting. I love red and that's one of the movies when that song, when I'm flicking through and Ray is on, send them back, I ain't turning. That's another one. I don't care if it's in the middle of the movie, I ain't turning, I'm watching ray until ray goes off and then we can figure out the rest of our evening, right, well, that's another thing about what movie, and we will say that, man, because we we'll drown them out, man, but, um, we'll make sure we leave a note of that. Of what movies? What's your top five movies that you like?

Speaker 1:
