Speaker 2: You know, all our lives we told like ego. You know,
Speaker 2: being full of yourself is a bad thing. But then
Speaker 2: you have a lot of people who don't even know themselves.
Speaker 2: You know, they they don't lost theirselves because they trying
Speaker 2: to conform to society, or they trying to fit in,
Speaker 2: or they just trying not to be pointed out. You know,
Speaker 2: some people don't want to stick out. But nobody likes normal,
Speaker 2: to be honest, nobody likes regular. I was like, yo,

Speaker 2: like you after you? It's just you and let the
Speaker 2: world know that that's right. Thank you for saying that

Speaker 2: then we get like Buster Rhymes and Killer Mike, like, yo, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's extraordinary.
Speaker 1: That's not blending in. That's gonna stand out, no doubt.
Speaker 2: You know, having uh, one of the best on the West,
Speaker 2: one of the best on the East, one of the
Speaker 2: best in the South, get down on the track is
Speaker 2: covering all bases and people love it. You know, we're
Speaker 2: about to drop a video soon to that track, and
Speaker 2: you know, keep this thing going.
Speaker 3: That's too easy to down with so much strategy. You
Speaker 3: guys were intentional about covering Grot of.
Speaker 2: Course, you know, everything should be intentional. And you know,
Speaker 2: we had a song that was really moving and to
Speaker 2: have a you know, to have two Dope MC's jump
Speaker 2: on the remix, you know, and then you know me,
Speaker 2: you know, dropping a new verse.
Speaker 1: It's just all part of the celebrating that song. It's
Speaker 1: my ego.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, you know the cover's crazy, the music is crazy.
Speaker 2: You never disappoint you report live from it. Dog, I
Speaker 2: think you run towards danger.
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that correct? You know?
Speaker 2: Things that I feel like I can speak on in
Speaker 2: a dope hip hop form is what it's all about, storyteller, right, Hey, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's about street knowledge.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: That's what I've been kicking from day one, and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna continue to kick street knowledge.
Speaker 1: That's for sure. Man.
Speaker 2: You know, I saw a clip recently where you said, like,
Speaker 2: I put a lot of people in movies, but nobody
Speaker 2: has put me in a movie. Like I don't have
Speaker 2: to write everything, I don't have to produce everything. I
Speaker 2: don't have to direct. But then I thought about that,
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, Well, Cub was one of those guys
Speaker 2: where you think, like, what do I get the guy
Speaker 2: that has everything right? And the answer to that, I
Speaker 2: think is something small, something that means something right. So
Speaker 2: are you down for like a legendary cameo or do
Speaker 2: you need to be the lead in.
Speaker 1: Something for someone to bring you in like a friend
Speaker 1: of yours?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I want to have an impact in
Speaker 2: the movie.
Speaker 1: It's got to mean something.
Speaker 2: Just a character that has an impact. It doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be a large role, but it has to, you know,
Speaker 2: affect the movie. Yeah, it's just you know a lot
Speaker 2: of people ask why you didn't put this one in
Speaker 2: that and this one and that. As far as people
Speaker 2: in movies, it's if they can't, if they can't benefit
Speaker 2: of being in the movie, it's not gonna help their career.
Speaker 2: So I put people in movies when I know I
Speaker 2: got a roll for you that if you get it right,
Speaker 2: you hit it right, you're gonna you're gonna blow up.
Speaker 2: And so you know, I want the same thing, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, give me something juice. I'm just
Speaker 2: having me walk through like you know, ice Cube in
Speaker 2: the background.
Speaker 4: Extra one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know we're not doing that. I'm like, you
Speaker 1: could have been in the New Gladiator joint. You feel me.
Speaker 2: You got the classic stare down, the classic mean mug,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you could have been in that.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it yet. I don't know if I
Speaker 2: want to.
Speaker 1: Be in here.
Speaker 2: After I see it, you know, maybe I changed my
Speaker 2: mind for sure. C this is Jack your mirror. She's

Speaker 5: legendary moment. I do want to tell you though, behind

Speaker 6: On Man Down one of my favorite songs of so Sensitive,
Speaker 6: at least the ones that I've heard, because I feel
Speaker 6: like that song needed to be you know, sung and
Speaker 6: be out there in the world because everybody is so
Speaker 6: sensitive on the internet. But there's a line that says,
Speaker 6: don't be a pussy all your life. Sometimes you got
Speaker 6: to be a dick. You gotta be a dig sometime
Speaker 6: and get hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I'm with that all day.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, So it was important to make that Why
Speaker 6: was it important to make that song?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 6: Do you feel that the world is headed in a
Speaker 6: place that we can't do anything like where comedians are
Speaker 6: getting checked, where rappers are getting checked, where it's just
Speaker 6: become too sensitive exactly.
Speaker 2: You know, that's you know, nail on the head. We
Speaker 2: can't we can't worry about people feelings over the facts.
Speaker 2: You know, it's facts over feelings all day. And you
Speaker 2: know when people start to you know, get too sensitive
Speaker 2: over things that you know maybe they should brush off
Speaker 2: or keep it moving, then everybody start to censor their
Speaker 2: self and you know, not beat themselves and you know,
Speaker 2: try to be so politically correct, and and now everything sucked.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So you know that's that's another thing where I think,
Speaker 2: you know, people need to especially the men. You know,
Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta hard en up, man, you gotta
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, toughen up.
Speaker 1: Damn.
Speaker 2: Just toughen up, man, don't you know? Don't worry about

Speaker 2: man a tissue, man, like you know, keep a tissue. Man,
Speaker 2: Go cry in the car, you know, keep it in

Speaker 5: but and with the song, what are you sensitive about?
Speaker 1: Though? I feel like I'm sensitive about sensitive people. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like I get on my nerves.
Speaker 2: That irritates me somebody a little too, you know, like man,
Speaker 2: tough enough, man, I don't want to hear it, like
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, shut it up. You know what I'm say,
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear complaining and crying, and you know,

Speaker 2: she could care less about Hollywood and the music business
Speaker 2: and you know all this. You know, she's just happy
Speaker 2: being herself and not you know, really looking to be
Speaker 2: in the spotlight or or or any of that. So

Speaker 2: of me.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. But you are no. I gotta
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta correct.
Speaker 2: You gotta correct your children to make sure you know
Speaker 2: they know right from wrong, what's acceptable, what's not acceptable,
Speaker 2: and that you are serious about them, you know, doing
Speaker 2: what they're supposed to do. And then you can love
Speaker 2: them to death after spoil them. Yeah, you know, as
Speaker 2: much as they need to be true, very true, all
Speaker 2: the moderation, right, Yeah, you know, if they want something,

Speaker 2: And even if you want to get a player, you know,
Speaker 2: try to win every game, like that's what the fans
Speaker 2: pay for, uh, and then you know, let the chips
Speaker 2: for what they make when it comes to draft. You know,
Speaker 2: tanking is very dangerous it you know it could you
Speaker 2: know erode the league. If you know fans, you know,
Speaker 2: like what if a team like I remember the seventy
Speaker 2: six ers. I think they tank like three or four
Speaker 2: years in a row. And I don't know if they've
Speaker 2: recoup from that as far as fan base, as far
Speaker 2: as what have they gotten out of that? But more misery,
Speaker 2: And it's sometimes it's how you do things. So they
Speaker 2: end up losing and getting them That's cool. But I
Speaker 2: ain't with the tanking. Let's get it right, win right,
Speaker 2: play the win every time. I'm not paying or you know,
Speaker 2: spending three hours to watch you lose on purpose. Man,
Speaker 2: I could do something, yo, I could be making the
Speaker 2: EP dog doing anything other than that. If I know
Speaker 2: you're gonna lose, I'm not watching them out exactly, not
Speaker 2: even watch.
Speaker 1: What's the future for the Big Three? Go?
Speaker 2: You know season eight? I mean we're selling more teams
Speaker 2: and you know, just grow the league organically, get new talent,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Hopefully, get new sponsors. We're
Speaker 2: looking for a second platform to play the games that's
Speaker 2: not on CBS. So you know we got we go,
Speaker 2: you know, big things, Yeah, the Big Three. I think
Speaker 2: I think Netflix could stream the games. Man, Yeah, they can.
Speaker 2: You know, all of the take is a check.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: How authentic are you when it comes to doing those
Speaker 3: deals with these big corporations?
Speaker 1: How authentic are you?
Speaker 2: Like what straight up?
Speaker 3: Like you just I need boom boom or with the delegator.
Speaker 1: For us process you got to play ball a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's it's a formula that they're
Speaker 2: looking for. It they're looking at for you to check
Speaker 2: boxes that they need check. And if you check all
Speaker 2: the boxes, you know they should do the deal. If
Speaker 2: you don't check as many boxes, then they're probably not
Speaker 2: going to do the deal. And so you know, we're
Speaker 2: going very confident. You know, our ratings are better than MLS,
Speaker 2: n HL. The w n B A caught us this
Speaker 2: year because of Caitlin Clark, but you know, so our
Speaker 2: ratings are up there with with some major sports that's
Speaker 2: been around for you know a long time.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we you know, we deserve, you know, a great
Speaker 2: platform to display again games like we are on CBS.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm still campaigning for that big three box. Remember
Speaker 3: I was telling you about like just the snacks like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we're talking to you know a few
Speaker 2: different companies, And I just had this Munchie meal with
Speaker 2: Jack in the box.
Speaker 1: You know that was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was great, and you know it was
Speaker 2: really successful for them, and so we're talking to them
Speaker 2: about doing something with the Big Three. Hopefully they'll you know,
Speaker 2: jump on it. Yeah yeah, Jack and the crack all day.
Speaker 2: Oh man, you feel me, yes, sir Yo. As a
Speaker 2: legendary Laker fan and as a father, what do you
Speaker 2: make of lebron and Brownie.
Speaker 1: Bronnie.
Speaker 2: You know, it's time for him to go to work.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Lebron as a father, has done it's about as much
Speaker 2: as he can do. Got him to the league. Now
Speaker 2: it's really up to BRONI to put in that work
Speaker 2: and and keep yourself there. Yeah, you know it's gonna
Speaker 2: take a lot, but he's got to get to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: At a certain point, you know, daddy can't do no
Speaker 2: more for you. You gotta do it yourself. You got a
Speaker 2: man up, yeah, or just you know, prove you belong
Speaker 2: that's it. Yeah, prove it to yourself. Right at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, if you really want to be there,
Speaker 2: yeah sure, yeah, you really want to be the tough
Speaker 2: space to be in, you know, there's a lot of pressure,
Speaker 2: but he's got the right people behind him. Only pressure
Speaker 2: is to put the ball in the hall. If you
Speaker 2: do that, everything take care of itself. That's the only
Speaker 2: pressure that he should worry about, is putting that ball
Speaker 2: in the basket. Everything can take care of hisself. You know,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, he don't have to
Speaker 2: play basketball. You know, he's cashed out. You know, daddy
Speaker 2: is lebron So you know, I don't if it don't
Speaker 2: work out for He'll be all right, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, does Brownie have a space in the Big Three?
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. You know, he can always come out
Speaker 2: and try to make a team. You know, we can't
Speaker 2: give him a space, but he can earn it, get
Speaker 2: drafted and earn the space.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean you're ready to have Kaitlyn Clark in
Speaker 1: the league? Yeah, we were. You know, you were fully
Speaker 1: prepared for that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: We think she would have did well because you know,
Speaker 2: in our league, if you look at the style of play, yes,
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty rough, but the small guards have had
Speaker 2: success like mood Ab due Raouf, Nate Robinson. You know,
Speaker 2: these are smaller guards and they've been able to get
Speaker 2: loose so she's a you know, guard that could shoot
Speaker 2: and pass. So we felt like she could really have
Speaker 2: a chance to get loose. Now, if she was a
Speaker 2: bigger player that had to plan the pain and kind
Speaker 2: of bang, then we'll be like, I don't know, it's
Speaker 2: probably not a good idea, right right, but we think
Speaker 2: she had a legitimate shot to not only play but flourish,
Speaker 2: especially with her range.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, not that would have been mad.
Speaker 3: The coed league would open up a lot of more
Speaker 3: doors and check a lot of more boxes.
Speaker 1: With a milestone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, the right player get drafted
Speaker 2: one day, you know, and we'll have a coed league.
Speaker 2: I said, God's draft female players.
Speaker 6: You've always been a risk taker when it comes to music, obviously,
Speaker 6: like no Vassiline being probably the best this song ever
Speaker 6: and then probably for sure for sure for sure sorry
Speaker 6: about the miss working, But another song that always sticks
Speaker 6: out to me that I wish people would do because
Speaker 6: you know everything cyclical and hip hop, right like, was
Speaker 6: Jack and for Beats at that time when you did
Speaker 6: that and you literally took every fucking best beat from
Speaker 6: East Coast and the West Coast and then said I'm
Speaker 6: gonna do this shit my way.
Speaker 1: Why don't people do things like that anymore? In hip hop?
Speaker 2: It? Uh, you know, there's one hundred percent of publishing
Speaker 2: on a song. That song has so many different beats,
Speaker 2: and those beats sampled beats. I think we had like
Speaker 2: seven and fifty percent of publishing on that song because
Speaker 2: it was like, yeah it was it was more writers
Speaker 2: than the song could could hold. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So that's why those are not done. Because when you
Speaker 2: take somebody beat and na've sampled from somebody, now you
Speaker 2: have to pay not only the rapper who beat it was,
Speaker 2: but you also have to pay the sample you know
Speaker 2: who he sampled from. So you're you're double paying for
Speaker 2: one song. And then if that if that guy sampled
Speaker 2: two or three songs to make his beat, that makes
Speaker 2: it lit longer at started, it starts to get mind boggling,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So you know, my guy
Speaker 2: came to me, I mean, Brian Turner, it was like,
Speaker 2: don't don't ever do another one of these, you know,
Speaker 2: just like for my last trick. You know, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, don't ever do this again. This was
Speaker 2: a headache in a nightmare Thank god you for hip hop,
Speaker 2: set a tone and set the bar exactly to this day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, it was just business wise, it was a nightmare. No, man,
Speaker 2: you're a Redvine guy. Yeah, Twizzlers exactly.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Broakes like class ever, though you might as well eat
Speaker 2: a strong.
Speaker 1: Need a plastic toy and enjoy that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Redvines is the way to go. That's right,
Speaker 2: that's right. I got Cuba's here, man, Man down. Congratulations.
