Speaker 1 (0:23) Welcome back, niggas and friends and other slurs. Hi, folks. We're back. My name is Joe Marie Payton. And Speaker 2 (0:36) I am the legend, Lisa Leslie. And this is The Read. Thank you for joining us. It is. Speaker 1 (0:44) And thank you, Lisa Leslie. Speaker 2 (0:47) Yes, you know, she is truly an icon and she just got a statue. Speaker 2 (0:53) outside of the, I almost said, well, yeah, it is the Sparks Arena. Fuck it. Speaker 1 (0:58) Work. Speaker 2 (0:59) Just fuck that. And I love it because, first of all, it looks good. And she was like, now y'all know I had to go over there and check on them people because I could not have her looking like a linebacker. And I was like, Speaker 1 (1:12) please. Thank God. And Speaker 2 (1:14) it's in color, which I almost never see. Yes. Well, it's not like. It looks like a statue, obviously, but like she has lipstick and nails and like the jersey is colored. Like it looks so good. It looks so good. And she's dunking. So, no. Yes, it looks so, so good. Oh, yeah, this is gorgeous. Speaker 1 (1:34) Right? I've Speaker 2 (1:35) never Speaker 1 (1:35) seen a statue like this, I don't think. It was just unveiled. Disney World. Right? Speaker 2 (1:39) It looks really good, so. Yeah, Speaker 1 (1:42) it's beautiful. Shout Speaker 2 (1:43) out to the artists who collabed on it, and shout out to her. She is truly a pioneer in women's basketball and a real legend, so. Yeah. I just love that she's dunking. She was also the first woman to dunk in a WNBA game, so. This is very appropriate. Mm Speaker 1 (2:02) hmm. Mm hmm. And Nneka Gwumike is Speaker 2 (2:05) about to retire and she's another one who's going to be right. Like as soon as she's eligible for, you know, the Hall of Fame, she's going to be in that hall. And I won't be shocked if she has all other kind of accolades and things like this celebrating her achievements as well. Speaker 1 (2:20) Madam President, we will miss you, girl. We will. I don't know who's going to take it up. Speaker 2 (2:26) Because she did an interview, Nneka did, and she was like, the thing about being a leader is that you have to, like, represent people who would not represent you. You have to take up for people who would not take up for you. And I was like, that's exactly why I couldn't do it. Don't ask me to lead shit. Because if anybody don't like me, you can get fucked. Speaker 1 (2:44) That's very, Speaker 2 (2:45) very... Speaker 1 (2:48) Very solid point. She's so Speaker 2 (2:50) mature. Speaker 1 (2:50) She Speaker 2 (2:51) is so mature. Speaker 1 (2:52) I agree with both things. Speaker 2 (2:53) I love her. I Speaker 1 (2:54) agree with both things. It says on ESPN, they still can't afford me, that Leslie's statue was created by Omri Amrani and Julia Roplet Amrani. Love Speaker 2 (3:07) that. Speaker 1 (3:07) Maybe a couple, maybe siblings. I don't know. But yeah. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. This is f***ing awesome. beers. I know she walked up and was like... Speaker 2 (3:17) Yes, it looked so, so good. I'm really glad because, whew, some of these statues. Dwayne Wade, did you see Dwayne Wade's statue? Oh, well, you cover the Miami Heat. Of course you do. I've seen that one. Speaker 1 (3:32) Let's stay positive and let's get on to some Black excellence. Speaker 1 (3:38) And we're actually going to keep it basketball because this week's Black Excellence is going over to a little-known person by the name of Angel Reese. Speaker 2 (3:47) Oh, yeah. Never heard of her. Speaker 1 (3:49) You know, she's on the cover of Vogue. I have that one, too. Speaker 2 (3:52) Oh. Speaker 1 (3:54) She's the first player in WNBA history to grab 500 rebounds in a single season. Oh, Speaker 2 (3:59) man. Now granted, this is a longer season than what the girls have had before, but still, you can't deny the Barbie. I love Angel. I do. And the way they tried to clown her for all her rebounds, they called it me-bounds, because a lot of the time she's getting her own rebound. But if it was that easy, then every fucking body would do it. But she turned around and started selling me-bounds merch. Like, you can't stop that diva. Speaker 1 (4:25) So what you're going to do is you're going to grab... both ass chicks and give a big kiss Speaker 2 (4:30) and just give Speaker 1 (4:30) the biggest kiss you can Speaker 2 (4:32) muster god I love her so Speaker 1 (4:35) she was um the dreamer playing the sky and it says that she had 495 rebounds at the time so she only needed 5 and then she ended the game with 23 points 10 rebounds Jesus Speaker 2 (4:50) That is, that girl, and this is only like her third, second or third year in the league, baby. Things are looking good. They are. They are. She's so cute. I love her. They just did a, FIBA is still putting out World Cup social media footage. And this last video was like, who on the team would you hire to be your wedding planner? And Angel was like, none of these hoes. None of these bitches could be my... Are you kidding? Angel Reese's wedding is going to be the most dripped out... You know, if she ever does decide to get married, that is going to be the most expensive shit you have ever seen. She was like, unfortunately, none of you girls in your DIY... Speaker 2 (5:36) It'll be Chanel Gucci Prada at mine. Thank you so much. Speaker 1 (5:39) Excuse me. Pardon me. I'm not trying to have on a Dickies wedding dress. So I'm actually going to get a professional. Dickies, you took it back. Girl, the doll suited up top to Speaker 2 (5:57) bottom. Speaker 1 (5:58) Socks as well. Just Speaker 2 (6:00) reminded me of my second girlfriend. Wow. Wow. Speaker 1 (6:02) Of course. That was the reference. Speaker 1 (6:07) Shout out to the baby girls. We're going to move right ahead into our pop culture segment, which is called Hot Tops. And we're going to keep it on a little basketball situation. Okay, I love this. I found this to be very delightful. One, Stephen Adams, Houston Rockets. Speaker 1 (6:28) had a quote after a game that I found simply delightful. He said that you can expect this November for performance to drop. League Y. Because GTA number six will be available to drop. And I've never heard anything truer. This man said, I'll say, you guys should anticipate November. The performance of the league, League Y. GTA is dropping, so look at NFL, look at the leagues, and watch them plummet, mate. Oh, I guess he's not from here. Just for the month of November, performance is going to go down. Love that. You should come back up coaching as well. That man said coaching as well. You know. In its performance. Because trade will be on the skids. Listen. And Speaker 2 (7:20) I Speaker 1 (7:20) believe that to be right. Speaker 2 (7:22) But it shouldn't be. Y'all are multi-millionaires. A video game should not take precedent over your fucking job. Speaker 1 (7:31) Excuse me. The video game. This video game is going to do stupid numbers. It's going to be gross. Speaker 2 (7:39) Well, no, I understand that. I mean, because we looked it up last week, two weeks ago, and I was like, oh, not this being like. Oh, yeah, we did. I'm selling video games of all time. Right. So my bad, but you niggas are very rich. Put the damn game down. I don't want to hear it. You can take. Speaker 1 (7:55) Yeah. I'm actually really fascinated by this. I hope somebody does the numbers because I believe them. Speaker 2 (8:01) Yeah. It was, I saw that clip too and it was hilarious. It was like, I'm telling y'all right now, come November, go ahead and go under on them parlays because we're not going to be showing up. So, yikes. Speaker 1 (8:12) November. Oh, he in it. Okay. He's Speaker 2 (8:15) from, he's from New Zealand. Speaker 1 (8:17) Oh, that's not in it. I cannot fucking wait for Grand Theft Auto 6. I'm so sorry. Like, all year, I was like, Rockstar, I'm gonna buy it. You've never, ever flopped. You've never, like, missed. So, whatever. But if you expect me to be hype, I don't know what to tell you. You haven't showed us a fuck thing. I know it's set in Vice City, aka Miami. And I know that the playable characters are a couple, some like Bonnie and Clyde shit, which I love because there's never been a female character playable as a lead in Grand Theft Auto. Oh, wow. Like you can make a female character if you played Grand Theft Auto online and stuff. But like a main character in the story is the first time that a woman's been playable. And I'm probably, if they allow you to play as one or the other the whole game, which they probably won't, you know I'm picking old girl. I'm going to the beauty shop. I'm getting them braids I saw in the picture. And I'm blasting everybody. I'm riding down ocean and I'm doing what I wanted to do my whole life. Get out. Speaker 2 (9:27) Okay. Okay. You know what? And y'all are going to have a great time with that. Speaker 1 (9:33) Go home. I'm spraying you bitches. Insane. Speaker 1 (9:41) I'm kidding. Listen, no, I'm not. But here's the thing. Speaker 1 (9:45) I'm so excited because when they showed it on Netflix and I was like, this looks like, like I know where I'm going. Speaker 2 (9:52) There go where Speaker 1 (9:53) Peter Thomas restaurant used to be where her triplet is. There, go ahead. One time I seen a fight over, you know, somebody's husband. Yeah. Okay. Well. Yeah. We talked about it and you asked me like, what if it's Young Miami Radio? And I accepted that. You did. Since then. I've seen, they have GTA 6, the album, I guess. I think you can even pre-order it. I think they're getting a little, yeah, but they're calling it GTA 6, the album. Girl, okay, whatever. 34 original tracks. Baby Cakes, when I tell you, I didn't see none of the girlies. Grand Theft Auto. Like zero women? No, I meant like Bitches from Miami. Speaker 2 (10:43) Oh, okay. Yeah, okay. Speaker 1 (10:45) I feel like Travis Scott was on it. Track list. I was like, girl, okay. Give me a solid break. It's on Apple Music. Here we go. Travis Scott. Future Metro Boomin, Young Lean, Young... Oh, this is what plucked me. Morgan Wallen is on it. Speaker 2 (11:12) Yuck! What? Of all the people? Morgan fucking Wallen. That's what pissed me the fuck off. Speaker 1 (11:18) Yuck. It's 34 tracks on here, and one, two, three, four, five, six of them are shown that I guess you could listen to, and all the other ones are not. you know, they say unknown until the album come out November 19. Speaker 2 (11:33) Gotcha. But Speaker 1 (11:33) I looked at the like six that were available. I'm like, okay, Fred again. Speaker 2 (11:38) Thanks. I hate Speaker 1 (11:39) it. And then I see Morgan Wallen. I'm like, wow. Speaker 2 (11:44) Y'all just want to piss me off. Speaker 1 (11:46) Well, I wasn't going to listen to this album. No way. So that's fine. I also assume, I assume though that Morgan Wallen or whatever the song will be on the games radio station. Speaker 1 (11:59) But none for me, thanks. Hopefully they can let you make a playlist like that or the game and I can just take whatever songs I don't like out. But anyways, I found this quote to be funny and very honest and also told me that Mr. Adams, similarly to me, said, don't call me. I'm just like... Speaker 1 (12:23) Immediately showed up to practice with bagged eyes. Bloodshot. Dying. Dehydrated. Let me look up Steven Adams' contract. Think twice, brother. He said coaching too. Everybody but the owners. Speaker 2 (12:38) Three-year, $39 million. Boy, if you don't put that goddamn game down and bring your ass to work. Speaker 1 (12:46) Right. Right. Speaker 2 (12:47) But it will be funny. It will actually be hilarious because that'll be peak football season. It will be hilarious if football players start falling off because of this damn game. Speaker 1 (12:59) I would love it. Shannon Sharp says that... Speaker 1 (13:07) Sports agents are not having their clients go on his nightcap podcast or Club Shay Shay because of his opinion or outspoken opinion on Israel and Palestine. Speaker 2 (13:27) What? Speaker 1 (13:29) Yeah, basically he said that the Nightcap podcast has been, you know, doing really well. It's been blowing up. They have Joe Johnson on the pod, I guess, regularly now. And they've been trying to have other athletes come in and join conversation, which makes 10,000 % sense. But he claims that because of him speaking out similarly to Macklemore. been speaking out against what's going on in Palestine and the state of Israel and stuff that, yeah, the agents have been trying to blackball him and his podcast because of that. Speaker 1 (14:07) Yeah. I Speaker 2 (14:08) mean, I would have thought it was the sexual assault. Speaker 1 (14:11) Yeah, that's what I thought first when I clicked on it. Speaker 2 (14:13) I'm shocked that it's because he's pro-Palestine. Like, are you sure, brother? Maybe that's just what they're telling you. Speaker 1 (14:20) I mean, but like, sports industry. Yeah. Turning their back on sexual abusers. Speaker 2 (14:26) Right. Speaker 1 (14:27) They Speaker 2 (14:27) don't really do that. Deshaun Watson got a job. So. Speaker 1 (14:31) But criticizing Israel, yeah, will get you thrown in the bin. I Speaker 2 (14:34) mean, yeah, I guess so. Well. Shannon, the thing is, I would feel sorry for you, but you don't seem like a good person. Speaker 1 (14:41) There's that, and it's really the headline. That's the bumper sticker, bitch. Speaker 2 (14:47) Yeah, I just don't. I forgot about that rape case just last year. Speaker 1 (14:55) Okasenko, I haven't forgotten either. Right, Speaker 2 (14:58) right. Like both of y'all actually kind of come out there. Speaker 1 (15:02) I mean, I hate that. If true, ridiculous. Right. However, I had a similar opinion. Speaker 2 (15:11) Yeah. Sorry, bro. That sucks. Sorry, bro. Speaker 1 (15:15) Rolling Loud California is on the way. I don't know. No, it's not the first one, is it? Definitely. Oh, two-year hiatus. That makes sense. Speaker 2 (15:23) Oh, okay. Speaker 1 (15:24) I blame Drake. Can you imagine if Drake did the Club Shay Shay thing and was like, not on my watch. They must not have Rolling Loud. I don't know. I'm just kidding. Okay. Speaker 2 (15:37) Like, what? Speaker 1 (15:39) Right? Imagine, like, nobody in hip-hop has any say on this. They're making a Rolling Loud movie starring Owen Wilson, I Want to Die. Speaker 2 (15:48) Owen Wilson? Isn't he, like, 48? Speaker 1 (15:52) Wow. Yes. I mean... But they're doing the, like... You never saw Trap, but I definitely criticized it. Remember a while ago when I criticized that M. Night Shyamalan movie where Josh Hartner plays a serial killer? And then that one Black man in the movie tells him that they're, like, doing a sting or trapping the serial killer in the arena? Speaker 1 (16:16) Remember, I read them all like what black person would ever tell a random white man that came up. This whole thing is a setup and the feds are here trying to catch a serial killer. No nigga would do that. Speaker 2 (16:27) Yeah. OK, well, if Speaker 1 (16:29) you worked at a merch table, you would not even know. So that made no sense. Rolling Loud, the movie, seems like it's similar to that, where Owen Wilson, old white ass, is taking his little white child to go to Rolling Loud. There Speaker 2 (16:42) we go. I was like, that's an old man. And then I guess he gets lost Speaker 1 (16:45) and ends up on stage and he's high with Travis Scott. I'm like, are you guys for real? Speaker 2 (16:52) He's Speaker 1 (16:53) actually 57. Speaker 2 (16:54) Wow. Speaker 1 (16:55) Really? Speaker 2 (16:56) Yeah, I'm shocked. There Speaker 1 (16:58) wasn't an old black actor that could have had the same role? This is what Speaker 2 (17:02) I'm saying. I just would have never thought Owen Wilson and Rolling Loud. You know, like I just would have never. I could have. It would have been easier to see this as a black father and son, especially because he's in one of these movie posters. I'm looking at he's like hugging or doing something with a nigga. So it's like, what is this supposed to be a performer? Like. I don't know. I guess I'm just confused about Speaker 1 (17:27) the cast. It gives me, um, that whole onstage thing gives me, uh, a goofy movie. Where Goofy accidentally ended up on stage with Caroline. So, like, stealing from other Black actors, it just... All Speaker 2 (17:46) right. Speaker 1 (17:46) Because Goofy and they're Black. Speaker 2 (17:48) No, I know. But we've accepted it. Everybody acknowledges it. Speaker 1 (17:52) Except Monet X Change. Now... What? Yeah, I was... What happened? Like a rivalry a couple weeks ago. Oh, Lord. Bob and I had to convince Monet. That movie was black? Goofy movie is a black movie. But she never seen it. Speaker 2 (18:08) Oh. Well, then how would she know? Speaker 1 (18:11) Right. She was like, black people ain't watching no goofy movie. Who watched that? Oh, Speaker 2 (18:16) I Speaker 1 (18:16) swear Speaker 2 (18:16) you're wrong. Speaker 1 (18:17) Girl, I was like, excuse me? Speaker 1 (18:23) Monet. No, man. I think even one of the white dudes on production was like, no, it absolutely burns a blank. Yes, yes. It is. Speaker 2 (18:32) When I was in sixth grade, the homies was turnt. Speaker 1 (18:37) Yeah. Speaker 2 (18:38) Anyway, Speaker 1 (18:41) that's what that Rolling Loud movie gives me. Anyway, that's not why I was bringing this up. Speaker 2 (18:46) It Speaker 1 (18:46) just, every time I think of Rolling Loud now, I'm going to think of that. Speaker 1 (18:51) The bright side is I'm never going. It is a part of my life or my molecular structure. I'm Speaker 2 (19:00) never going. So Speaker 1 (19:01) how much offense can I take? Speaker 2 (19:03) Yeah. You know, and that's so valid. Like, I'm not, unless somebody flies me out first class and I'm in, like, air-conditioned VIP, VIP, VIP, you know, room to sit and private clean bathrooms and all that, which it takes away from the festival experience entirely. That would be the only way I went. So, I'm like, I can only go if it's nothing like a festival. Speaker 1 (19:32) And what, Brittany Griner is there with you two? Like, bitch, you're going to be rolling loud. Well, Speaker 2 (19:37) since we have a, I mean, look, if we making a wish list, why not? Because let me tell you what I heard. This is alleged, alleged. Oh, Speaker 1 (19:46) girl. Alleged. Speaker 2 (19:47) Not confirmed. I heard. So this is rumors and gossip that Brittany's wife cheated on her. And that's why Brittany was the one who filed. Speaker 2 (20:00) That's what I heard. That's what I heard. Speaker 1 (20:02) Let me hit my F. I thought Speaker 2 (20:04) today that she's Speaker 1 (20:05) seeking spousal support or whatever. Well, Speaker 2 (20:07) I would have expected that anyway because I Speaker 1 (20:09) mean, girl, come on. Speaker 2 (20:10) Married and now not. Plus, y'all have a baby together, so I would have expected that anyway. But that's what I heard. That is unsubstantiated. For all I know, somebody pulled that out their ass, but that's what I heard. Speaker 1 (20:24) I Speaker 2 (20:24) would never cheat on nobody who was 6'8". That's just me. Speaker 1 (20:31) That Speaker 2 (20:32) is ridiculous. I know. It is so stupid. But I am so for real. Speaker 1 (20:40) Where would you find the time? They can see everything. Speaker 2 (20:42) Like, hello, I spent all my day climbing you. Speaker 1 (20:46) Alright, let's get back to the point, which is that Rolling Loud is coming to California after two years. And I only wanted to bring this up because I look at the lineup, and I think A $AP Rocky is headlining one day. Interesting, he's not from here. And Playboy Cardi, I think, is headlining the next day. Interesting. Long rap sheet of horrible behavior. But Speaker 2 (21:11) the Speaker 1 (21:12) third day is just Peso Bluma. Like, I don't know if I've ever... No, I have seen a festival where one artist was the holiday. But this is a Mexican... Speaker 1 (21:26) artist he's a singer writes music I think he might be a producer too cause I'm really looking it up like who I've never heard of this you know what Los Angeles gives oh Speaker 2 (21:36) yeah Speaker 1 (21:36) Rolling Loud said just him like wow he can just have a day cause ain't nobody out here gonna give a fuck about nothing else wow I live oh Speaker 2 (21:47) I Speaker 1 (21:48) it really is just Speaker 2 (21:50) him him and the DJ and that's it Speaker 1 (21:53) He's a huge artist. Wow. Globally. I'm so American. This is pathetic. Speaker 1 (22:03) Being a Mexican superstar on top of that, I'm actually really, really interested in how that show's gonna go, because I feel like them motherfuckers are gonna have a blast, and we could use it. Speaker 2 (22:19) We could Speaker 1 (22:20) fucking use it. Los Angeles, I haven't forgotten about them raids. Speaker 2 (22:24) Oh, yeah. Well, no. Speaker 1 (22:27) And Speaker 2 (22:27) me Speaker 1 (22:27) and Cliff and everybody are attempting to. Speaker 2 (22:29) They really shoved everybody else in them first two days. Speaker 1 (22:33) They said, listen, shut up. Speaker 2 (22:37) I mean, A $AP Rocky, YG, Sexy Red, Larry June, Boss Man, D-Lo, all them niggas, Abso, everybody. DDG, are y'all for real? Does DDG make real music? Like, let's be for real. Speaker 1 (22:53) Real in the sense that, like, it has a melody, I guess. Well, okay. Real in the sense that, like, technically, I think you would call them songs. Okay. Speaker 2 (23:05) Okay. Ooh, this says Peso Pluma is Mexican, Lebanese, and Palestinian. Speaker 1 (23:11) Yeah. Speaker 2 (23:13) Hassan Emilio Cabandeleja. My bad if I mispronounced that, but wow. Beautiful name. I've never heard of this person. I'm actually ashamed. This is like Bad Bunny all over again. Speaker 1 (23:27) I mean, he's, yeah, he's just one of those artists that, like, I think the first time I heard of him, and I don't remember where or what song, maybe I was just, like, combing through Spotify and Apple Music like I always do. And I found a song by him that I really liked and looked him up and I was like, oh, this is giving, like, Bad Bunny to you. It's like, I'm the lame and loser here. Speaker 2 (23:51) Yeah, that's how I felt when it really clicked. And I think it was, he did a show that was entirely in Spanish. And I can't remember if it was in Puerto Rico or in the U.S. somewhere, but it was something like that where I was like, okay, so this Bad Bunny must really be something. Speaker 1 (24:09) Probably New York. Because Bad Bunny used to shut in New York City. Yeah, Speaker 2 (24:14) yeah. So I'm late to the party, but shout out, baby, your own day at Rolling Loud. Yeah, you are that girl. They'll be camped out overnight waiting on you. Speaker 1 (24:24) This would be in San Bernardino, which I think is not. Where is San Bernardino? Speaker 1 (24:32) It's not here. You know, I don't Speaker 2 (24:34) know. Speaker 1 (24:34) I Speaker 2 (24:34) don't Speaker 1 (24:34) think it's far. Ancient Egyptian relics on display at the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art. I feel like they should probably be in another continent. Speaker 1 (24:49) Chris Brown is complaining again. He says, I didn't read this because I figured let's just do it here. I'm tired. Speaker 2 (24:57) Okay, let me look it up, y'all. Chris Brown complaining. Watch him write up. Speaker 1 (25:03) I bet it's the first. Chris Speaker 2 (25:05) Brown demands proof after journalists claims he is actively abusing women. Is that what you're talking about? Speaker 1 (25:12) No, that's a different complaint. Speaker 2 (25:13) Oh, okay. Well, what is it? Speaker 1 (25:17) It was like a day or so after. Speaker 2 (25:19) Gotcha, okay. Speaker 1 (25:21) Okay, so he's on his Instagram stories, I believe. He's using the cursive format that they have here, which is interesting. Because can you write Speaker 2 (25:32) in cursive? Can Speaker 1 (25:33) anybody write in cursive anymore? I Speaker 2 (25:35) honestly think... I had to learn Speaker 1 (25:36) it. Speaker 2 (25:36) If you're under 30, can you write in cursive? Please let us know. Speaker 1 (25:41) Yeah, answer. Speaker 2 (25:42) Because they... Y'all legit need to know it, if only so you can read old-ass documents. that are exclusively written in cars but Speaker 1 (25:52) then you have to read Speaker 2 (25:54) well, we got to start with being able to read, period. And then we can graduate to reading cursive. But yeah, I don't, I legit don't think they even teach it no more. No, they absolutely don't teach it. Do they even teach writing? These kids came hardly right. All they do is type. That's what I'm saying. Speaker 1 (26:10) Like, all they'll have to do with those older documents is just take a picture and ask Chad GPT, what does it say? Speaker 2 (26:16) Okay. All right. You know, you just depressed me, so. Speaker 1 (26:19) It made me sad. Speaking of depressing, Chris Brown says, I'm not your friend. I'm not your buddy. Also, this is the centered, what do you call it? The lining? The alignment? Yeah, the alignment. Thank you. It's centered. Okay. Which I found. Speaker 1 (26:40) Okay. I'm not your friend. I'm not your buddy. I don't like the majority of you. I don't want your approval. I don't want your fake love. I hate the music industry. I don't want to participate in the circus. Now, Chris, we were on the same page for the first couple lines here because I'm not your friend either. I've never considered you a buddy. Speaker 2 (27:04) And Speaker 1 (27:05) I don't like you either. Speaker 2 (27:07) And I also think you should go ahead and step right on out of the music industry. If you hate it so much, it is optional. You do not have to do this. Feel free to Speaker 1 (27:16) go Speaker 2 (27:17) do something else. Any... Speaker 2 (27:22) What do you even mean? Okay, but who is he talking to? What do you mean you not? I'm not y'all friend. Is this just to the world in general? Speaker 1 (27:29) Yeah, he Speaker 2 (27:30) does this like twice a year. Okay. Oh, Speaker 1 (27:32) yeah, that's right. Where he's like, I hate everybody and I don't give a fuck about you. I do what I want. Speaker 2 (27:40) Hmm. Okay. Speaker 1 (27:41) This is the latest of that. And you know, honestly, you know who I fucking blame? Speaker 1 (27:48) Miss, I'm going to show up to the concert dressed like Raven Baxter. Jasmine! Don't Speaker 2 (28:00) do Raven! Speaker 1 (28:03) Oh, Speaker 2 (28:04) yeah. You know what? Yes, because everybody is talking about Chris and bringing up all of the things he continues to do. Yeah, you're right. It's Jasmine and that man, whoever that other legislator was. Yep, Speaker 1 (28:19) I agree. I don't want to participate in the circus. I am the circus. Speaker 2 (28:25) All right. He did not say that. Speaker 1 (28:28) It's like sometimes God be like, okay, girl, calm, just like, don't get too. Speaker 2 (28:33) Calm down. Speaker 1 (28:36) If it doesn't benefit my children, I don't need it. Speaker 1 (28:41) You will no longer be able to be around me. Fuck being humble. Okay, so maybe he's talking to actual people. He Speaker 2 (28:48) gotta be. He gotta be. He got to be. Because what? The regular degular average person already can't be around you. Speaker 1 (28:59) Somebody on the shade room say, Emmett Usher gonna fall out by the end of this tour. Speaker 2 (29:06) I wouldn't be surprised. I actually would not be surprised. So. I Speaker 1 (29:11) don't think I'd be surprised by that either. Fuck being humble. Fuck your agenda. Fuck your narrative. Fuck how you feel. I don't like none of you celebrities. Got it. Speaker 2 (29:26) Who pissed him off? Beyonce? Speaker 2 (29:29) Girl, he could. Who made him mad? Somebody did something. Speaker 1 (29:35) Well, he don't like Jay-Z. And Jay-Z does not like him. Well, there we go. Speaker 1 (29:40) But that couldn't be about this because when did they ever mention you were thinking about your ass? This could very much be. Speaker 2 (29:45) Especially Speaker 1 (29:45) publicly. Speaker 2 (29:47) Maybe it happened privately and somebody told Chris. Like, oh, your name came up and Beyonce was like, look at that dumbass little back-flipping-ass cokehead nigga. Speaker 1 (29:56) Why did you think Speaker 2 (29:57) that? I don't know. I Speaker 1 (29:58) don't know. Speaker 2 (29:59) Why Speaker 1 (29:59) do you think? I'm trying to think of which celebrities Speaker 2 (30:03) have publicly criticized him over the past couple of weeks. But Speaker 1 (30:06) it Speaker 2 (30:06) might not Speaker 1 (30:07) be public. Speaker 2 (30:08) Right. Right. I'm only thinking of Zara. Speaker 1 (30:11) She'll Speaker 2 (30:11) never get off his neck. Speaker 1 (30:14) Yeah. Speaker 2 (30:15) Zara Larson and Renee Rapp, they hate that nigga. Speaker 1 (30:19) And they're not gonna stop talking about him. They're not. They're not. Speaker 2 (30:22) They're Speaker 1 (30:22) not gonna stop talking about hating him. Especially when they're not gonna shy away from me. Speaker 2 (30:27) Right. Speaker 1 (30:28) But it's not like they're the only two celebrities that do it. Right. There's plenty of celebrities that are just like, oh, no. Speaker 2 (30:34) Okay, Chris. Speaker 1 (30:35) Don't see it. This gives me it is someone that he... Fucked with or nice or just fucked with or something. He's saying, I don't want y'all around me. So it gives me the sense that, like, Speaker 2 (30:50) it's Speaker 1 (30:51) someone who is in some proximity to him or... Yeah, Speaker 2 (30:55) somebody hurt his feelings. Speaker 1 (30:57) Yeah, someone hurt his feelings. Speaker 2 (31:00) Oh, Chris. Speaker 1 (31:01) It's good being Drake seeing LeBron dancing and not like a... I am sad. Not you. New York. Not you. Speaker 2 (31:13) He couldn't believe it. But y'all, LeBron don't give a damn. Speaker 1 (31:16) LeBron did not give a damn. Speaker 2 (31:18) At all. Just bopping around. That nigga got too much money to care about your feelings. Okay, Chris. Well, somebody, I get it. Somebody hurt your feelings. You're lashing out. Oh! Speaker 1 (31:28) I am the best. Hands down. Okay, Speaker 2 (31:31) so now I'm going into media. Speaker 1 (31:34) I'm on that type of timing. He's got an all caps now. Oh, girl. Now I'm thinking this is about her. You know what? Actually, yes. I'm the best hands down. I'm the king. Not a single artist on this planet can fuck with me on my worst day. Oh, yeah. They know it. I'm tired of being nice. Fuck your opinion. I'll be the villain. And here's my issue with this, right? Speaker 1 (32:04) Countless individuals will agree with him openly. And I feel like at some point, y'all gotta step up to the plate and take accountability here. Not a single artist on this planet can fuck with me on my worst day. Speaker 1 (32:20) Okay. And you will agree with him. We, Christopher needs medication if he truly believes that. Girl, Speaker 2 (32:27) baby Speaker 1 (32:27) cakes. Speaker 2 (32:28) Real bad, actually. Because what do you mean? Your music's not that great. It just isn't. You have a die hard, I mean, die hard, them bitches will not perish fan base. And a lot of them are locked in because they think you're cute or they've liked you since they were eight. Or Speaker 1 (32:47) they Speaker 2 (32:47) also beat women or they don't care about women or they don't care about like, or they're the type to get defensive over, you know, somebody they like being criticized. Like those are your fans. They don't care how shit your music is, Chris. They're going to support you regardless for all those other reasons. I Speaker 1 (33:04) said the exact same thing to one of my friends last week. I'm like his diehard fans, which keep him afloat in a way that is indescribable. Yeah. His diehard fans are people who find him attractive and have found him attractive since they were like 12. Yep. And straight niggas who ain't shit. Speaker 2 (33:28) Yes. Yes. And there Speaker 1 (33:31) are many of them. Speaker 2 (33:32) And there's a lot of people who fit that description. Yeah. I mean, and you can dance. I'll give it to you. You're entertaining on that stage, but your music's not good. For you to be like not a single artist on this planet can fuck with me, baby. Everybody in my Apple Music can fuck with you on your worst day and easily beat your ass on your best. So that is going to be a no.
