The S.H.I.T.T.S Podcast

Rap Disses, Style Misses, and Real World Black Men's Issues

Monsoon Staraw/B Karrington Season 10 Episode 191

Hey, friends! Ever wondered why The Game seems to be shadowboxing with Rick Ross in a rap battle royale of his own making? Buckle up, because we're peeling back the layers of this hip-hop enigma, alongside the raw rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. It's a rollercoaster through rap's cutthroat playground, where the line between a fierce diss and pushing the envelope gets blurrier with every verse. And if you think fashion is just about the threads, think again. We're tearing down the stereotypes and owning our style narratives, from 70s flair to cowboy cool, and how our partners often mirror our fashion souls.

This episode isn't just about beats and wardrobe feats; it's also an unflinching look into the struggles that black men grapple with daily. We're getting real about the societal pressures that can corner a man into choices others might not understand, and the conditional love that seems to come with the territory. As we unfold the harsh realities, from racial profiling to the weight of economic responsibility, I share my personal reflections on the roles women play in the sustainability of relationships amid financial instability. And because we can't pour from an empty cup, mental health takes the stage as I share the unexpected comforts found in poodle cuddles and the therapeutic power of a simple walk.

Wrapping things up, we can't help but chuckle over Shaq's off-the-court antics, including his attempt to dunk in the rap game against Shannon Sharpe. We're handing out some low-key props to his DJ skills, while playfully jabbing at his rapping attempts and the legendary, or perhaps notorious, Shaq shoe line. Remember, folks, the S.H.I.T.T.S Podcast is where laughter meets thoughtfulness, and this one's loaded with both. So here's a hearty thank you for sticking with us, and get ready for an episode that's as insightful as it is entertaining.

Speaker 1:

Nothing new.

Speaker 2:

You know what I did want to talk about this? It ain't really no tea, really. It's just. Y'all know that the game is beefing with Rick Ross by himself.

Speaker 1:

Wait, that don't make sense, it's a one-sided beef Let me guess game started it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because it's like game started and he wanted to beef with him. So bad he didn't make a diss track about him and everything. And Rick Ross still has not responded back. And like he keeps on trying to get him to respond back, Like he keeps on saying stuff about him, Keeps on posting about him and he still won't respond back. And the last thing Ross did in response, a little response. He was out there ice skating and that's it. While Gang was going on a tangent on social media he was out there ice skating?

Speaker 2:

Nobody knows.

Speaker 1:

He just mad.

Speaker 2:

It's like the Kendrick and Drake beefed up and Ross was on Kendrick's side. Of course, everybody felt like Gang was on Kendrick's side because you know he from LA too, right, but all of a sudden he just came out of nowhere and called Ross a big fat ass bitch and I was like what the hell?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I heard that.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yeah, gang heard that yes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, gang, I don't know. Gang is like one of them niggas. That is like star shit. Like he just come to the park where niggas be playing ball. That just a star shit. You know what I'm saying. Like ain't got nothing else better to do than just a star shit with motherfuckers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was like that was kind of weird to me Because I was like that was kind of weird to me because I was like what the hell? And this man's still not even going to respond to you he shouldn't.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you this much. It ain't going to be like. I think motherfuckers are going to be very disappointed if they think it's going to be some shit like Drake and Kendrick Lamar, because it's not the shit that Drake and Kendrick Lamar, because it's not the shit that Drake and Kendrick Lamar on right now. That shit is turd Very disrespectful.

Speaker 2:

I don't think it's disrespectful. I think that it's the nature of the beast and I love it. I loved it. I'm just sick of them niggas going back and forth at this point because this is like after about the third diss track. You niggas need to go and go chill at y'all house or something. Let it go. We heard y'all Kendrick. I feel like he won. That's me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that meet the ground shit.

Speaker 2:

That was harsh.

Speaker 1:

That was harsh.

Speaker 2:

But I like how the beef was going, everybody saying it went too far. It did go too far, it didn't go far enough for me.

Speaker 1:

How far?

Speaker 2:

you want it to go. I want it to go far. I like when somebody is beefing with somebody and they rapping about it. Talk about everything, I don't care, bring it all up. Talk about their mamas too, and their daddies. I like stuff like that. When Tupac said that's why I fucked your bitch, you fat motherfucker, you see what I'm?

Speaker 1:

saying he said that shit so disrespectfully.

Speaker 2:

I love it. It was harsh. Fuck, fuck, bitch Fuck, that was harsh.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean, like when I heard that, first time I heard that line, I was like god damn, like it's going to be kind of hard to come back from that shit. You know what I'm saying. You know, like you know, motherfuckers can say shit but and then later on be like man, my bad. You know, I was just in my feelings so I shouldn't have said that but that shit right there nah bro you can't take that shit back. You can't be like I didn't really mean, I fucked your bitch.

Speaker 2:

You know what I'm saying and then people still there saying you can't. When Kendrick was putting out all of the stuff that you know, like drake had a 12 year old daughter and all that, they was like but if it's not, true, then it doesn't. If it's not true, then it doesn't make the song good or the beef valid. I said but, it does make it valid because if y'all think about all the beats from back in the day, rap beats we don't know if any of that was true.

Speaker 1:

Well, when you talk about that, the main one that I think about is no Vaseline, and I feel like it seemed like everything Cube said on that shit was facts. That's just how I took it. Yeah, it just seemed like everything that was said was facts. Now, when you start talking about because I'm an old head, so when you start talking about LL Cool J and Kool, moe D and Lazarus Loser or Lunger, and you're like that shit is like that was just wordplay or the Jay-Z and Nas?

Speaker 2:

We don't know how much of? That was factual and that's what I started thinking about too.

Speaker 1:

Like at what point? At what point did it get? At what point did it get? At what point did it get in these battles that you had to like really have some personal shit on motherfuckers. You know what I'm saying. Like, yeah, like what point did like you had to? Like it wasn't just about you being lyrically better, your wordplay being better, like I just said some shit, that I just said a metaphor about you and that shit was funny. Shit that I said I just said a metaphor about you and that shit was funny. So that's why I'm winning. Like when did it get to the point where it's like no, I gotta say some shit that's like deep about personal like when did it get to that point?

Speaker 2:

shit it's been like that it has it's just, people just used to say it in a different type of way and so you would have to like kind of think on it. Now folks stop saying it in their way. They just come down and say it. It's just in your face. Yeah, like once Tupac came out and said what he said. It was more so like oh, niggas coming like that now, right, so that's how we finna come.

Speaker 1:

I'm trying to see. Was he first, though Was well, but like, but he was before Jay-Z, before Jay-Z said what he said, right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's what I was saying when he came out and said that, because nobody had ever came out and got on a track that I heard from my generation and said the stuff that Pac said on a diss track Right, you know what I'm saying and got on there and even in the end part he pretty much said fuck everybody.

Speaker 1:

He did. He said fuck Biggie, fuck Jay-Z, fuck Mobb D, fuck the janitor at the studio, fuck. And then you and you like them niggas, then fuck you too. I'm like wait, hold on. I'm like wait, like what are you saying? Fuck me, for that was like extremely serious. That shit was crazy, I mean. But I do say this much I feel like I don't know if all this shit is like planned. You know what I'm saying. As far as the Kendrick and Drake thing, they not.

Speaker 2:

Kendrick hates that man, so I know that for a fact.

Speaker 4:

Now, if you, would have said I know that for a fact, he has hated that man since.

Speaker 2:

It was some few years back. I can't really remember how it all kicked off, but he's been. He's always disliked. He's disliked Drake for a very long time. Because he feel like Drakeke ain't hip-hop good point.

Speaker 1:

Hey, we're gonna take a break. Hey, yo shout out to all my niggas out there that really want to uh, get on the diss track and say something really bold about a motherfucker, but no, a nigga. See him in the street. Beat the ass hey this is his podcast, y'all. It's the shit everybody.

Speaker 4:

Speaker 2:

That's something I got from y'all in Chicago when somebody's shoes fat as hell, they say beefy shoes beefy shoes, so alright.

Speaker 1:

So during the break, bu's breaking down your thoughts about Drake and how he attached himself to motherfuckers. You mentioned Memphis.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, memphis. So Black Boy JB had the song Look Alive. Right On the song Look Alive, yeah, Look Alive. Drake said If a motherfucker step, i'ma be downtown man 4-4, blam man, that's if I get caught man. That was Project Pad verse on his song. I didn't even know that. If anybody listen to Project Pat, gorilla Pimp put it on. Listen to his old shit, yeah, and that's what he said. He was like I'm a gorilla on a hoe. If a hoe felt I'm a be downtown man for a bound man. That's if I get caught man, push me to the edge. So it really ain't my fault, man. That was Project Pat. That's his whole verse. That's the whole verse.

Speaker 1:

Damn. I thought that nigga wrote that.

Speaker 3:

No Damn.

Speaker 2:

The man was Jamaican. Not too long ago With Sean Kingston.

Speaker 3:

Remember he was Jamaican. He had a whole Jamaican accent.

Speaker 2:

When Sean Kingston came out, he was was Jamaican.

Speaker 3:

He had a whole Jamaican accent when Sean Kingston came out and did a song together.

Speaker 2:

He was a Jamaican. He could be whoever you want him to be. I like him. I like Drake. Drake gonna sing to you. He'll rap for you.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying, but you think that's why. That's why I kept you.

Speaker 2:

You know a lot of rappers who rap for real, for real. They don't like him. Yeah but they was upset with most deaths. I said that he's not a.

Speaker 1:

He said pop Now, not not trying to get off the subject, but as far as rap like niggas rap, niggas rap, rap, I Just heard my fucking ghost face new shit, nigga Ghost face new shit is popping. He don't take care of his son.

Speaker 2:

What we talking about? Niggas who rap B I know he rap. He need to rap and talk to his son.

Speaker 3:

that was on the internet crying about his daddy.

Speaker 2:

That's what he didn't do.

Speaker 1:

Explain the whole story. I'm just telling you that's what he didn't do. Explain the whole story.

Speaker 2:

I'm just telling you that's what his son said His son said his daddy don't accept him because he's gay. And I understand that your son is gay, but he's grown now you know what I'm saying. So my thing is you don't have to accept his lifestyle but your child is still your child and you're supposed to love them regardless. I'm saying especially your son ain't out here, hurt nobody. His son is out here in fashion Trying to you know, saying like, do his thing and fashion, and shit like that.

Speaker 2:

And he like he just want his dad to support him. He said I never asked my day to put me on. I know I did everything on my own. I, his son, is popular, yeah, but nobody knew that that was his son cause.

Speaker 1:

Girls ain't claiming yeah, so speaking of okay, you said something about fashion. So I was just talking to my nigga Tron about this right and he was saying how, uh, Dwayne Wade has a gay style right? So I was thinking I was like shit. Well, ain't all the motherfuckers ain't pretty much every stylist, unless it's a female, like don't they usually be gay?

Speaker 2:

No, some of them be. Majority of them be straight. Some of them be gay, though, but majority be straight. A lot of them are straight Straight men, but people assume that they're gay because they dress so well. You know what I'm saying that's the point.

Speaker 1:

So I was thinking like so when you start talking about fashion, like when you really start talking about fashion and motherfuckers that really can put some shit together do you ever really think of like, do you ever think of a heterosexual man being fashion forward? Or do you usually think of like a gay man or a woman?

Speaker 2:

I think of heterosexual men being fashion forward, because I know a lot of straight men that can dress their ass off. I'm talking about man. They dress themselves and their girlfriends. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Like, I know men who like to dress right and some of them come from mothers who used to be that shit back in the day, so you know. So, yeah, I do. I think of straight being, I don't know I. But that's, that's my thought process, don't? I don't, when it come to fashion or anything, I don't be like, oh they must be gay I don't think that I be thinking that because I would just hope that.

Speaker 1:

Oh, Jane Smith.

Speaker 2:

Even if you ain't even the most fashionable straight guy like, you know how to put something together. Like you ain't just around here looking like a dust bunny. Like you know how to do something the coldest shit, like a color coordinator. You know how to do like not no country shit, but you know how to do.

Speaker 1:

Oh, matching, oh everything, matching shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like you ain't just go get that whole set out there. Mannequin did it.

Speaker 1:

Right, Like that's country to me.

Speaker 2:

Right, and I'm from the country, so that's country.

Speaker 1:

I've been thinking about the coldest time in fashion, the 70s. The mother, that is the 70s, the 70s, the motherfucking 70s. So I'll be looking at that shit like, and I said, once I get myself in the gym and get right.

Speaker 2:

You can start wearing bell bottoms and shit.

Speaker 1:

Nah, not that, but I'm wearing motherfucking shirts and I'm only going to button two buttons.

Speaker 2:

You're going to have your chest out.

Speaker 1:

I'm only button two.

Speaker 2:

You ain't got no hair on your chest dude, that don't need to do it, it don't even matter, it does.

Speaker 1:

It don't matter If that joint balled up.

Speaker 2:

nobody shaved it.

Speaker 1:

Wait, hold on so wait, you got it, so you can't have chest hair to wear the chest.

Speaker 2:

No, you need to shave it.

Speaker 1:

What about full chains? Well, full or small chains, yeah like some little chains. Yeah, you need to shave it, though All right, I, I, but definitely once I get my shit right and I'm in a, that's what I'm on.

Speaker 2:

real shit, two buttons, two buttons maximum a sip, the sip choice, and I'm gonna feel tight right there, joe with the bell bottoms bell bottoms have made a comeback. No, I'm telling you, they have and then another thing that made a comeback is the cowboy era.

Speaker 1:

Oh well, you not from the country.

Speaker 2:

And then another thing that made a comeback is the cowboy era.

Speaker 1:

Well, you're not from the country, so you don't know about that.

Speaker 2:

Talking about the hats, all that.

Speaker 1:

I mean like motherfuckers be rocking them.

Speaker 2:

The hats everything.

Speaker 1:

I was watching a movie today and I seen somebody rocking the cowboy hat and I was like damn.

Speaker 2:

I'll fuck with that Because you got cowboy boots cost. Let me tell you about that. I ain't my fucking they be about $400.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the lizards yeah. Some be like a thousand I ain't gonna pay much for my boots.

Speaker 2:

Nah, I don't have that type of money. But them cowboy, them country folks, they be having those boots on you ever you, you, do you?

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

No, huh, talking about leopards.

Speaker 1:

Lizards, lizard skin Lizards, whatever the fuck you call them. Snake skin, snake skin boots yeah, you ever. No, you wanted something good, didn't you?

Speaker 2:

You know what I wanted? Some cowboy boots, some real, authentic cowboy boots. Until I flipped the tag over, I was like I ain't going wear these John Stegman's.

Speaker 1:

I don't even live in the country like that.

Speaker 2:

I ain't fucked with that shit. I ain't got that type of money that they got.

Speaker 1:

But so no, I was my mouth so many fucking places, but I was thinking about that shit. Like you have motherfuckers that dress, motherfuckers and stylists and shit like that and you be thinking like damn like I and shit like that and you be thinking like damn. Like I said for me, I just thought like it was predominantly like gay men, gay, yeah yeah, nah, you got straight men in this.

Speaker 2:

When I say you got straight men that are fashion forward, I'm talking about. I was watching this. Y'all heard about the 20 versus ones or the pop the balloons and stuff like that. So and stuff like that. So it'll be on YouTube. You got to watch it. Shit's retarded. So when you get on there, when they come out, they tell you to pop the balloon, like once the girl or the man come out. Do you know that the men were popping balloons on women Cause they was saying like she can't dress. Really, I want my woman to know how to have some type of fashion sense. They were popping a balloon. I was like, damn, but she cute though you know, she got her shit together. They were like I don't care, she cannot dress, she cannot walk next to me and these are straight men.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, what's popping now. What's in that?

Speaker 2:

I don't know, I dress for me. I don't know.

Speaker 1:

What's popping for you.

Speaker 2:

For me it's just opinion. I like cargoes and stuff like that. I'm into I don't know, I'm into my 90s era.

Speaker 3:

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we are back at the Shits Podcast and it's good to be back. We'll be back in the studio in a minute, but we're here. I'm trying to get that message. We'll be back in the studio in a minute, but, uh, we here. I was trying to get that message, we here. So, like I said earlier at the beginning, man, you know, we've been out for a minute and it's really my fault.

Speaker 1:

Some shit has been going on, just been dealing with shit. So this is like I said when we first got in the studio, like this is therapy for me. So one, this is like I said when we first got in the studio this is therapy for me. So one of the things for me that really been fucked with me is that my son moved out the house and he moved to.

Speaker 2:

Vegas. Yeah, so that fucked with me. I thought you were going to say. When you told me how old he was, was I swear. I thought you were going to say he was about 18.

Speaker 1:

No, he's 22.

Speaker 2:

When you said 22, I said you sad, I am.

Speaker 1:

I am for the simple fact that moving out the house, that's a big accomplishment. But to move to a whole nother city, that's different for me. You see what I'm saying, because it's like this is my oldest. You see what I'm saying. So it's like for one, just keeping it 100. I'm used to him, I'm used to him being there. You know what I'm saying. I'm used to waking up, going downstairs where his room at, and him being there, him coming in at night and shit like that. So this shit new for me, you see what I'm saying. Do I feel like he needs to be on his own? Yeah, but as a father, I feel like him being so far away. That's my thing. Like I could see if he moved into Indiana, you know what I'm saying or even, motherfucker, atlanta or somewhere where it's not so long to get there. Like Vegas is like a full five-hour plane ride, you know what I'm saying. So that's one thing. Plane ride, you know what I'm saying. So that's one thing.

Speaker 1:

And like when he moved and I came home from work and I went downstairs to his room and I just sang all this shit while he was there, like it was kind of hard for me to breathe, like for a minute. I had to step. I literally had to step the fuck out the room Straight up. So you know what I'm saying. Like that's like, that's something new for me. So like that caused a bit of that, caused a bit of anxiety for me, but the thing that made me feel better about his decision is that this was something that he was excited about. So that's why I'm happy for him. You know what I'm saying Because he's excited about it. You know, if it was something where he had to move, somebody forced him to go, then I feel bad about it. But this is something that he wants to do. So yeah, you know.

Speaker 2:

It's fine. I mean he's 22.

Speaker 3:

You know what I'm saying he 22?

Speaker 2:

I don't know, I don't, I'm saying that, but my child is only 12, so I mean, when she turn 22, you know her moving away and stuff, my heart probably gonna drop too. You know what I'm saying, but, but, but, but, if, if I don't, if I had, if it was my son and I know people gonna probably rap me for this, but if it was my son, I don't think I would feel that way. Why? Because I feel like a man's supposed to lead a nest before a girl do.

Speaker 1:

And I.

Speaker 2:

Like.

Speaker 1:

I feel like a.

Speaker 3:

I feel like a 18. That's just me.

Speaker 2:

I feel like an 18, as a boy, you supposed to go out on about your business. You know what I'm saying. You don't do what you supposed to do Because at the end of the day, when you get a certain age, you are supposed to be a provider, a protector, all of those things my daughter really don't need to be out the house, moved out the house. In some cultures the girls don't leave home until they are married. The men do leave home to go and get a career, go ahead and make their own so they can become that husband or have a great career and stuff like that. Most cultures. The girls don't leave home until they're married and I wish that our culture was more like that. Like boys get pushed, because a lot of times our culture pushed the girls out before they pushed them, and mothers, not the fathers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, a lot of mothers baby their sons.

Speaker 3:

Hmm.

Speaker 1:

Well, I agree, I definitely agree that the boy should find his way first. I agree with that. Like I said, the thing that bothers me about it is that you move to a whole other city. That's the part that fucks with me. To me you're not as accessible because you're in a whole other city. You know what I'm saying. I think about it like you're 22, still young. You know what I'm saying. So I think about the shit that you will have to endure and stuff that you don't know about. You know, and how quick would I be able to get to you, god forbid, if something happened. You know what I'm saying, that's true. So I think about shit like that. But I do agree with you that in our culture it should be encouraged more for the kids to leave the house and make their own path. You know, I definitely feel that. But you also said something about boys leaving out and becoming a man, becoming a provider. So I want to talk about that. So it's like what do you think is a man's role in society these days?

Speaker 2:

I always felt like a man should be a provider protector. Um, I think I he need to be a mechanic. You know I'm saying he needs to be a person, that he need to be a plumber, you know I mean he need to be all those things, but that's just what I think, you know.

Speaker 2:

I mean I don't feel I don't put my thoughts off on everybody else or my opinion, because it's just an opinion, it's not a fact you know I'm saying but and I think that these young guys today, like right now, when they need money, they don't have a hustle like some people was dogging me out on social media because I said I didn't see nothing wrong with me selling dope. You know I'm saying okay, I didn't see nothing wrong with me selling dope. You know what?

Speaker 3:

I'm saying, okay, I didn't see nothing wrong with it.

Speaker 2:

You know why? I didn't see nothing wrong with it. They was like, well, they up there selling dope. I said, guess what, though? Them folks was going to school with holes in the bottom of their shoes, they, daddy and mom, was struggling. They didn't have no way to make no type of money, no, nothing. What was they supposed to do? They thought of me, thought of a way to go get some money. Right, and that was his way to get some money, instead of sitting around saying I'm gonna go rob somebody. He had to make it happen.

Speaker 2:

He said I'm gonna, I can't work at the mcdonald's. Back then they were paying three dollars you know what I'm saying an hour that I don't, that they ain't gonna hire me. You know what I'm saying. I'm going to be able to make that type of money. Right now I see my family got an eviction notice. Life's cut off all that. I'm finna. Go make some money.

Speaker 1:

I'm about to be a provider.

Speaker 2:

I'm about to be a provider, so like I didn't see an issue with it, I was like shit, okay, son.

Speaker 1:

So I feel you on that. This is what I have an issue with. My personal opinion is this there's a saying that goes women and children are loved unconditionally, not men.

Speaker 2:

For some, for some, and I'm going to say this.

Speaker 1:

Okay, do you agree? So you don't agree with this thing.

Speaker 2:

I don't agree with it on my end.

Speaker 1:

Okay, but just say on average On average.

Speaker 2:

I do agree, because if a man don't have something let's say y'all married, you've been taking care of this woman for 20 years so happen, you break your back, you cannot work.

Speaker 1:

Your ass out.

Speaker 2:

Of there she gone, she out of there. She some women, not all women, but someone be like oh, this nigga, hell, nah, I can't do this. We po now we broke. I gotta go out here and do this now, that's some women right so you got on the flip side. A lot of women saw their moms and their grandmothers hold their grandfathers and fathers down, while they was messed up and not being able to take care of the household they working they self to the bone.

Speaker 3:

So now they didn't got they saw that, so they like I ain't messing with.

Speaker 2:

No nigga, they ain't got. No, you ain't got it. I ain't fucking with you. You fuck up and gamble all your money away, you out of here today. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

So, even if so, even if so, I'm going to take a break. Yo, take a break real quick. Ayo, shut up to all the motherfuckers out there that used to come home and get a check right over to their wife and then go right over to the bar and then their wife come up there and find their ass and nag their ass because they at the bar anyway. It's just podcast.

Speaker 2:

That's the shit well, it's comedian Marnie P checking in from the shit's podcast yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

We are now back at the shit's podcast, where we're either shooting the shit, starting shit or picking up what shit left off, and tonight we might be doing a couple things Shooting the shit and starting some shit. So B already said she cool with being a motherfucking dope girl.

Speaker 2:

Drug dealer Very much so, especially back in the old days.

Speaker 1:

If you got to make it happen, you got to make it happen. I feel you on that. So, okay, we was talking about the way me and I looked at it and as far as if you can't bring anything to the table, your ass out of there. You know what I'm saying. I feel like you shouldn't be a deadbeat ass motherfucker. I definitely agree with that. You get what I'm saying. However, I will say this much I feel like this society nowadays doesn't understand the pressures that's put, that's put on men.

Speaker 2:

Especially black men. I'm not going to say all men, because all men don't count. You get what I'm saying. It's not an all men conversation we talking about specifically black men, because this is not for white men, this is not for men who are adjacent to white people you know what I'm saying or other cultures.

Speaker 2:

This is strictly for black men. When black men go outside, they got to worry about the police possibly pulling them over for no reason at all. I'm just on my way to work, my guy and you fucking with me Because I might got some locks and I drive a nice ass car, right? And you see me? I look like a dope boy to you, right?

Speaker 2:

like a dope boy to you. Right Boy, I look like I'm in a. I'm in some type of game, but you don't really know, nigga, I'm a lawyer. I'm on my way to my office, nigga.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

But that's what they do. You know what I'm saying. That's what they gotta put up with.

Speaker 1:

Then you gotta put up with you know, um what have you gotta put?

Speaker 2:

men gotta put up with that, then you gotta, they gotta, put up with these. Y'all. Cause one thing about it. If you, if a man has a household of support, they cannot like a woman. I ain't gonna lie, I put a job quick they can't really quit, they can't cause y'all not gonna get the assistance that we get hell?

Speaker 2:

no, we can't. Are you'all not gonna get the assistance that we get? Hell? No, we can't. Are you fucking like we'll get the assistance because of course, we got kids and stuff like this. So if I put my job not saying this for everybody, but just example if I put my job right now and say I need help with paying the rent, I'm gonna go down there. I got a child, I can put her on on my case. I can do all that and get everything I need. A man going to have to struggle you know what I'm saying Unless he got his kids with him.

Speaker 1:

I got to go down there. I got to go down there and give you all kind of documentation social security cards, birth certificates, receipts that I spent on motherfucking diapers, all kinds of shit. You know what I'm saying. If I decided to quit a motherfucking job right now you're going to. So it's like I think about that shit and then to you know, like really to add on to that, and then, like, on top of all that, then you say that men shouldn't be as emotional or express themselves a certain way, and I think that's bullshit. Like why?

Speaker 1:

the fuck, shouldn't we Like everything that's fucking going on? We should be the main motherfuckers that's doing it.

Speaker 2:

I think men should be able to cry. I think men should be able to express, because I'm going to tell you, when a man is not able to express himself and he cannot be emotional or anything, you know what it turns out he ends up hurting somebody or killing his woman or anything. Have you not seen this stuff going on? The uptick of men and young boys who are teenagers, killing their girlfriends or their wives, or something.

Speaker 1:

Yo, I seen some shit where Buddy had a restraining order against this motherfucker.

Speaker 2:

As soon as this nigga got paroled he went to the lady house, killed the nine-year-old boy and as soon as he got, paroled, it's like there's no emotional regulation, and a lot of times when me and dude try to go and talk to their significant other even their mama, sometimes any type of anybody it ain't even got to be a woman when a man gets to talking about his emotions and stuff, motherfuckers, be like man, you soft as hell.

Speaker 2:

What's wrong with you? Nigga, oh nigga, nah, man, what's up? Nah, niggas have problems. Men have problems too. They have issues too. They need to cry too. They need somebody to talk to as well, because a lot of times they don't Like we got. We can call our friends and cry about everything.

Speaker 2:

It's expected of us because we're women, but a man can't do that. It was a guy that just made a song about how he felt about his mother because his mother put men before him and he was. He was molested, you know what I'm saying In the process.

Speaker 2:

He made the song about his mama. Do you know, in the comment section. The song wrong, by the way. The comment section was like when was the daddy? Why you putting everything on her mama? She had a, I'm like. But if it was a woman saying the same thing, I'm like.

Speaker 1:

But if it was a woman saying the same thing y'all would have sympathized with her.

Speaker 2:

They don't sympathize with boys that come out and say they was touched on. They don't sympathize with boys who come out and say my mama was low down and she did this to me. They don't sympathize with it. But when?

Speaker 1:

a girl come out and say all that oh yeah, oh baby, everybody like they get behind it. And it's's like don't get me wrong, and not to say that girls or women don't deserve that kind of support too. I just kind of feel like, why is it not? Why isn't the plan field equal? You know what I'm saying. Why is it not understood for both genders? You know what I'm saying? Like, why don't men get the same kind of empathy Excuse me the same kind of empathy that women get? And then I was talking to a coworker of mine and he brought up a point and he was like man, this is not the 50s and the 60s, where all men make more than women. Like the plan feels different. Like women, a lot of women make more than they got. You see what I'm saying. So it's like you still want men to follow the same expectations okay.

Speaker 1:

You pay the majority of whatever it is, or you pay everything, right, but if you make more than I do and I'm paying for more than what, the fuck can I save? You see what I'm saying. So it's like so it's kind of crazy when you start to think about the predicament that you did. The situation that some men are in nowadays is like, okay, you got to provide this financially. I don't really need to know how you feel about shit. You know what I'm saying. I don't really give a fuck about what's going on out there. When you leave here, I just want to make sure that you take care of this household. Listen to what the fuck I got going on. Also, take care of these motherfucking kids. Seeing as I work more or whatever, whatever. Don't expect nothing to eat in this motherfucker. You know what I'm saying, or whatever the case may be.

Speaker 3:

And then, on top of all that, it's like just accept it, because that's the way it's supposed to be.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because me and I sought to be y'all supposed to be strong and hard. You know what I'm saying? That's how y'all supposed to be. That's what they say, right, but I don't feel as though people understand that it is 2024. It's not the 50s and 60s.

Speaker 3:

It's not.

Speaker 2:

Milk is like $5. You know what I'm saying. Actually, $7.99. To be exact, the type of milk I drink. I'm lactose intolerant, so the lactose free milk costs $7.99. That shit be stinking though it's $7.99. So what I'm saying is that unless your mate, boyfriend, husband, fiance is making over $100,000. And see people think $100,000 is some money, it's not. $100,000 in today's society is like $50,000.

Speaker 3:

Right.

Speaker 2:

You know what I'm saying. Somebody could be making $, be making a hundred. I know people who make a hundred thousand dollars. That's the low ball. In a hundred they still have second jobs because, they can't because because it's so expensive. Yeah, you know I'm saying so. If your mate is not making 150 000, you can't expect them to pay for every single thing. Because you want your nails done, you want your hair done. The kids got to have clothes shoes. He got to have clothes and shoes.

Speaker 2:

The bills still got to be paid. Y'all still got to go on vacation. What? What world are you living in? That's not realistic.

Speaker 1:

It's not.

Speaker 2:

That's delusional.

Speaker 1:

Hey, we gotta take a break real quick. And man shout out to all the motherfuckers out there man, just making it happen and doing what they gotta do and understanding and just understanding each other. Man, it's just podcast y'all. It's the sheets. What up, ladies and gentlemen? It's the American dream. What up, ladies and gentlemen? It's the American dream, the American nightmare. The heartbreaker, young Baca. And when I come to Chicago, I check in, I get on the radio with the Shits Podcast. One more time, man Give a big shout out to the Shits Podcast, young Baca Productions. Man, holler us, we out here. Yeah, we're not back in the Shits Podcast, but we done shooting the shit. It's good to be back. So we was talking about Damn, we was talking about Motherfuckers moving, moving and shit and, like I said, there's been a lot of motherfucking anxiety that I've been feeling. But I'm going to say this much.

Speaker 1:

Dogs are great fucking pets to have Real shit. I got a dog. What kind of dog you at, I got a miniature poodle, and I'm going to tell you something.

Speaker 2:

You about 6'3"?

Speaker 1:

You got a miniature poodle. I had a motherfucking miniature poodle. He's a beast. He's a beast no, he's not. He's one of the sweetest dogs ever. But I will say this much when you feeling for me, when I'm feeling a certain type of way, like this little motherfucker would just come up and just hop in your lap and you'd just be like it'd be, like he'd understand you know what I'm saying so many words. Like he'd just look Like man, like nah, I know you fucked up, big dog, you know what I'm saying. Like I'm just sitting here and just lick on your face and shit like that, and that'd be the most awesome shit. You know what I'm saying. So I'd be looking at that kind of shit and I'd be like man. It'd be the little things that people need to understand and people need to recognize, that can help them in their situations. Like taking walks, like when I'd be like in it, I'd take walks. When I be in it, I take walks. I will fucking walk forever. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

I will walk forever and I will have some of the best conversations with myself ever I didn't do it that before, but once I didn't decompress and everything I realized like damn, you have walked a long way.

Speaker 3:

And then I turn around everything.

Speaker 2:

I realized like damn, you have walked a long way, yeah. And then I turn around like I'm going to need a ride home Because, like I ain't even in that frame of mind, no more. So.

Speaker 3:

Right.

Speaker 2:

How did I get out here, like, how did I get this far down here?

Speaker 1:

But in the process, though, but in the process, though, all that shit that you had on you, it just felt like that's that motherfucking weight, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Just came off your whole body. That's how I know my feet be hurt. Because once the adrenaline gone and once you didn't calm down, it's like it hit you. Yeah, that you're no longer on 79, no more You're like close to stay straight. And now I got to go back and walk back to 79.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's why.

Speaker 1:

I find myself finishing those conversations on the way back. You'd be like man and just really, I guess, just really holding yourself accountable for shit. You know what I'm saying. You'd be like man and just really, I guess, just really holding yourself accountable for shit. You know what?

Speaker 1:

I'm saying and truly being honest with yourself about how things are going. You know what I'm saying, Like one of the things I know. Motherfuckers probably haven't heard me on the radio as much, but I had to step back from that shit for a minute because I'm going to put it out there. A nigga fucked me for some money and I felt a certain type of way. You know what I'm saying. Like nigga, I want to beat your motherfucking skull in fam.

Speaker 1:

But the way shit work, that ain't going to work out well for me. You see what I'm saying. So it's like you look at that and then like for me, I look at the situation, and so it was at a point. It was at a point Like this is just me being totally transparent. It was at a point where I was like man, I'm just chilling, I'm stepping back from a lot of shit, like I really wasn't doing a podcast, I really wasn't doing the radio, I really wasn't recording music. Well, I was recording music Shout out to Durr, shout out to Elgort, shout out to Vellner General. But I was like I'm going to step back for a minute. And I went to the gas station right around my crib and I'm walking in there, motherfucker. And it was this dude. I forgot his name, but I know his face when I see him.

Speaker 1:

I'm not really too good with names, but I know Buddy face when I see him and he got a podcast right. So we met him at the Mixer, I think his podcast started with an A and T something.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I know you're talking about and I, oh, I know you talking about and I forget, but I know you talking about.

Speaker 1:

Right. So I sent Buddy at the gas station, right. So I'm like what's up, bro? He's like man. How you feeling I'm good. He was like man, what's been going on with you? I was like man, you know, just chilling man, just kind of like just chilling for a minute taking a break.

Speaker 3:

He was like, yeah, me too man, I'm not going on vacation.

Speaker 1:

He was like I just got married. You know what I'm saying. We've been on a honeymoon. So I was like man, congratulations. And he was like, yeah, I've just been kind of taking a step back too. So I was like all right, and I was kind of getting ready to go into saying that I wasn't really doing it as much. You know what I'm saying. But he was like man, bro, I'm trying to be where you at. I'm thinking to myself like he don't even know. You know what I'm saying. He was like man, I'm trying to be where you at, bro, I'm like man, I see you doing your thing. Man, I see you out here, I see you on the radio. I'm trying to be, I'm trying to get where you at. And I'm like damn, and at that point, right there, I was like no, I got to keep moving. You know what I'm saying, Because you would sit there and think that everything is kind of like fucked up for you and shit like that, but you don't even realize how somebody else is dealing with you.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying. Yeah, that's true. And then like even the conversations, like being with you yeah, that's true. And then, like even the conversations, like the text messages between you and I, like you know what I'm saying, Like I sincerely was apologetic for that, because I'm like you came on board to bring something to it and I'm like man, I'm sitting over here like pussyfooting around and shit, but I mean, you got, you have to people if you have to step back for mental health reasons or you know.

Speaker 2:

I think everybody deserves a mental break you know I'm saying that podcast and, like I was asking my husband, I was like do people do podcasts every day? Or every week and he was like yeah, he was like uh, because he listened to joe budden all the time. Yeah, and he's like they do two in like one night for like the week. You know, I'm saying like they do two and I'm like so they, you tell them they be pying for like hours like what we get is not what they be.

Speaker 2:

All they you know they're doing so I'm like they there to like two o'clock in the morning, yeah pying, because they have to get out so much content. That is stressful, you know. I'm Then on top of having personal stuff that you may be going through and stuff like this. But you still have to do it, and they're doing it on a larger scale, so it's like they have to get it out because they have to. You know they get paid for it, so they have to get it out.

Speaker 2:

But that's stressful, especially if you got other stuff going on yeah you know I mean, and then you still gotta come on here, you gotta have a. You gotta be nice, you gotta. You know I'm saying you gotta talk, you gotta. You gotta co-host, you gotta interact with and to me if you're not in the right headspace, it shows. It shows yeah it shows when y'all are not you and the cause may not be connecting or y'all. You know what I'm saying on different, it shows.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And I just had to realize, I had to realize. From my end. I was like this shit is therapy for me. You know what I'm saying? Not just building the platform, but it do give me the opportunity to speak on the shit that I'll actually be feeling. And then, like when I get messages from people, they be like this, out the blue, like my man's hit me up. He got a production company, a film company, pounds of.

Speaker 1:

Drink. Shout out to bro, my man Julian. He hit me up. He was like man, bro, you good, you know what I'm saying.
