What If Vulnerability Was The Real Flex In Rap
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people think a great live show is just great music. We don’t. A great show is communication, timing, sound, and a lineup that actually makes sense, and Lyric Versatile pulls back the curtain on how Chicago nights go right (or fall apart). We start with a real check-in on pacing and mental balance, then get into the personal story behind his name, his North Side roots, and how community shaped his style.
From there we get practical about event curation and live show promotion in the Chicago hip hop scene: what promoters forget to do, why the DJ workload matters, how many acts is too many, and the uncomfortable truth that your vision has to match your budget. Lyric also breaks down Sunday Service Social, the open jam session built around musicians, vocalists, and MCs creating in real time with a house band, plus what that kind of space does for confidence, freestyling, and artistic growth.
Then we go deeper on vulnerability in rap and what a healthy relationship looks like when conversations get uncomfortable. And yes, we still make room for left-field comedy, including a rapid-fire “Bitch I Got Options” game and some opinions that probably should’ve stayed off-mic. If you’re building a fanbase, booking shows, or just love Chicago culture and live music, you’ll leave with both gems and laughs.

Live Intro And Guest Energy
SPEAKER_08So what we on tonight, man. Um we live and uh I got my man uh yo this man doing shows all over the city. My man got his live band. He uh what can I say? Man doing shows for a minute. Dope ass lyric things, a lot of energy. Uh motherfucker colored his hair, all type shit. I think when he colored his hair, his shit just went to a whole nother level, goddamn it.
SPEAKER_07But with no further ado, I want to introduce my man lyric versus how you feel, man. I'm alive, man, enjoying this one week vacation of 420. I'm uh I'm in my zone, as you can see. I'm in my my smoking shirt. Okay, I didn't already uh started drinking on cut waters, as you can see, with a light up cup, so it's vacation mode.
SPEAKER_08So I I I got a whole thing about the cut waters, man. They should be cut with water. No, no, no, no, no, no. So look, man, one of the best uh cut waters that I had was a pina colada, and for some strange reason, they don't sell them bitches no more. You gotta find them, they're hard to find. Yeah, I don't I don't understand why they're out here in the burbs.
SPEAKER_07You can see them everywhere out here in the birds, bro. The pina colada one, yes. I will the next time I see you, I will bring you a four-pack. Hey, I'm gonna hold you to that.
Mental Check In And Pacing
SPEAKER_08I'm holding that what's up. So, anyway, man, what we like to do on the podcast, man, we like to um do a check-in. So, when I say check-in, I like to ask the question, uh, what you working on, and I don't mean like what you're working on, like project-wise, I mean like what you're working on as far as mentally and emotionally. So, what you working on this week?
SPEAKER_07Um, I think for mentally, uh for checking in with myself, it's more it's been more so about pacing um and not, you know, waiting to the last minute with things with thoughts or ideas or anything like that, and not getting overwhelmed. Uh, you know, because I think that with the active lifestyle that I have with this music stuff, whenever I am active, is that I'm always trying to stay ahead and pace things. And sometimes I outpace myself. So I'm just trying to take more of a more of a steadier approach to things this weekend and beyond. Okay, that's dope. Yeah, um, have I done that? Not in cry, not entirely sure, but I've gotten close. You tried.
The Name Lyric Versatile Origin
SPEAKER_08I tried. You don't know if I'm gonna is it out there? All right, let me know. I talked to you later. All right, um, so how did you come up with the name Lyric versatile?
SPEAKER_07Uh I can't take full credit. Uh, I got the name from my grandmother. Uh I've had that name since I was about 11. And uh it was funny. I I tried to start rapping early at eight. I'm glad those pictures or videos no longer exist. Uh, there's no evidence of that because those those raps were were were not ahead of their time. Uh but when I she was a music teacher, so she played for funerals, played, played in the church, uh, played for choirs, and she was teaching me how to play piano early on, and then I tried to do my little raps on top of it. She's like, Aren't you my little lyric? And it kind of stuck. She um, after she gave me my name, she didn't pass, she passed not too long after that, so it just kind of stuck from there. And then I added on versatile later on.
SPEAKER_08Okay, let's go. I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, it's even better when somebody um has a name and they got a uh they got an origin story, yeah.
Chicago Roots And Early Influences
SPEAKER_07You know, most people put their name in the Wu Tate generator. Um, so where are you from? Chicago, East Rogers Park, North Side. North Side, North Pole, North Pole, shout out to Big Mike. Uh he's for he's he's he he still claims North Pole. I'm like, then he went and moved to the real North Pole, like Minneapolis and shit. I'm like, God damn. That's good. Damn. So uh grew up in East Rogers Park, not too far away from uh from Howard and shit, and then um JB Alberto's pizza is what I grew up on. That was literally now it's becoming a well-known secret, but before it was it was the best kept secret as far as pizza slices go.
SPEAKER_08Okay, okay. Um, how do you think your environment has molded you into the individual you are to this day?
What Promoters Get Wrong
SPEAKER_07That is a multi-pronged answer, uh, because I've been different people in my environment at different times and at the same time, too. So starting out in in choir and singing and being a part of like that music background, and then also, you know, be decided to be an MC and and doing it on a, you know, that's my passion, that's my output of my artistic output. You know, I did that for many years. That's around the time when I met you guys, you know, saying, um, and hung out with y'all, hung out with Sam, and I was around for 606. That molded a lot of my uh influences, uh, the people that I met, um just my overall style itself. And as I progressed, I started wanting to do more as far as like I didn't like how people organize shows, like it drove me nuts. I was like, what do you mean?
SPEAKER_08I I like let me let me let me kind of interject right there. What what what hurts you the most about that?
SPEAKER_07Um well, one lack of communication between the artist, the DJ, and the promoter, whoever says that they're the promoter. You know, it should be you know a lot more communication between all of those parties at all times, particularly in the show. You know, for people that are coming, it's like it's on the promoter to tell people and promote to people and put it in people's face because it's your brand that's being put out there. It's not just it's not just the artist's brand. You're trying to consolidate what they have with what you already got going, you know. So there's work to be done on both ends. Um, you know, and a show should be like, you know, I have a theater background, so like you have to put on a production. A show has to be a production, there has to be a set time. There's there should be sound checks. Yes, we all rap. Yes, we've all been doing this for like a whole hell of a lot of time. But, you know, how do we change the dynamic of a show and be cognizant about that when we're presenting that to people? Because you don't know the people that I brought. You know, you may be converting my fans, and vice versa. So why not put on the best production when you're doing those types of shows? Okay. The communication being the number one thing, and then presentation and execution. That's really the end of it. You know what I mean? Like, how do you execute um, you know, how a show is done? What is the the sonic quality? You know what I mean? Do you want to put two MCs that kind of sound like each other back to back? Or do you want to listen to be, you know, invested in their music and and and create a crescendo of how that music goes? You know, what I've done in the past is like, all right, I know who I want to put in this show. All right, he sounds like he sounds like this. All right, I'll maybe put him third because he goes first. You know, I just it it it ends up being something that I live curate whenever I put together show.
How Many Acts Is Too Many
SPEAKER_08Okay, how many okay? So uh let's let's talk about uh the local music scene, yeah. Local showcases leave a goddamn cat alone, smoking. Um so when you talk about putting together uh curate local how many artists is too many artists on a bill for you.
SPEAKER_07It's funny because I've I've learned this by trial and error, and you know, with time allotted and and trying to manage that you have to think about the the workload that you put on your DJ. That should be anybody's first thought. You know, how good a DJ, and do you want your DJ to sit up here and have to deal with eight different personalities and still spin for your show? You know what I mean? So you you're you're kind of not communicating well with your workload. I think anything more than six is a bit much, okay. You know what I mean? Unless, you know, it it meets the the the need of where the venue is, you know what I'm saying? I wouldn't put eight acts in a small bar, you know. I've learned to not do that now. Um, but it's you're at a Reggie's, yeah. Probably book eight to ten acts, you know, to create that draw because it is a concert venue, right? Um, it just you just have to find a way to meet the need and then don't out punch yourself, you know. If you know you can't get more than than than 20 people in a room, don't go booking baseline, you know? Like very aim for the right height, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_08Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. Um what do you think? Uh uh curators uh who are just starting out, what's the biggest mistake do you think they make?
SPEAKER_07It's thinking that you can uh you can't, it's thinking that you can make what you want to happen without money. Yeah, motherfucker need money. Let let your expectations or your goals and desires they should meet the expectation of your wallet. You know what I mean? That's a gem. That's a gem. You know what I mean? You could want, you know, videography and you know, have dope photographers and just have that output, you know what I mean? But you got to pay people for their time or show a way to appreciate them. Now, I've been lucky enough in being in this business as long as I've been, is that, you know, yeah, sometimes I can pay money, sometimes I can, you know, offer a favor, or I do something in the background, you know, helping with another event, and so on and so forth. Pineapples, odds, all of that. Like, what you doing in that back room, Ricky?
SPEAKER_08Yeah.
SPEAKER_07But I mean, it is I mean, the the thing about with this industry and this business is that a lot of people don't work to help other people, you know. They they you know, they just be like, I gotta do it myself. You either get down or lay down, type of attitude. But there's a lot of people that also okay, it's gonna be that evening. He waited until it's live and shit.
Sunday Service Social Open Jam
SPEAKER_08So I so speaking of events, yeah. Yeah, speak on it, bro.
SPEAKER_07So uh I have been doing Sunday Service Social uh for the past year and a half. We were we just ended our residency at Kitty's Cocktail Lounge in Blue Island. So we are looking to move around and bounce around the city. Sunday service social is basically what we do every kind of bi-weekly on Sundays, where it's an open jam session that's open to musicians, uh vocalists, uh MCs, all of it together, and then we just have an open session where people just openly create. Um and it's a it's a really dope environment, you know, saying I've kind of just uh have a free kind of curation mode where I'm just making them songs as I go, and then other people are kind of taking that lead to do the same. Uh we do that, we collaborate with the new band. Uh that is the house band that um makes it happen, and that's who I've been working with with my uh group with them, which is Lyric in the New Band. So we're all jamming down together, going over the boulevard this Saturday, uh, with the doors open at around eight. DJ Monsoon will be DJing. That's me. That would be that guy. Uh again, probably one of those one of those situations where you know you can't pay them, but it's just calling in a favor and shit. So that's hey, look, I I got you on the next go round, my G, I promise you. I like I'm gonna bring you those uh pina colada joints, so that's like a down payment right there, son.
SPEAKER_08Hey, hey bro, the buttons holding real shit.
SPEAKER_07They all are, yeah. I'm on the first one as we're doing this interview, and I grab a second one, and this starts looking like I'm leaning too far to one side, you already know what that is working, yes, sir.
Writing Versus Freestyle Pressure
SPEAKER_08Yes, sir. Um, so first of all, I want to say the Sunday circus. I remember going to to to uh see it at Kitty's when the bears was playing, and uh oh wow, yeah. It was a dope experience because you had Keddy, he was making up songs uh bearing that shit was dope. I still think you should have recorded that shit. Um definitely to watch the game and hear y'all play the band is dope. I think that you are a true lyricist, man, because thank you. I mean you can write too. I mean you can freestyle your ass up. So it was double chairs.
SPEAKER_07Uh writing, writing is it'd be shaky. I gotta be, you know, some things I gotta be inspired for, or it has to be a specific project, but I get a lot more free mind space uh with coming up with stuff with working with the band, like that it has given it's kind of honed that part of it too. So if I could sit my ass down long enough to write, I'll I'm gonna be a bad man. What's the what is the hardest song you ever had to write?
SPEAKER_08What was it about?
SPEAKER_07Hardest song I had to write that I still haven't uh put out was a track called Used to Be. Um, and it was done off of the sample initially with the original track. It was done on um No Doubts We Used to Be together, always so it there was a flip of that, and it was funny because I wrote it a long time ago, and it was like kind of like a premonition type of track about a relationship. Fast forward, fast forward. I had wrote it before, but then literally experienced what happened in the track. I was like, Yep, we're not putting that fucker out. Never mind. Right, I don't have to, I don't have to put out the experience. I live the shit, never mind, right?
SPEAKER_08So it's it's funny that you say that, man, because like for me, so like I just I just got it voice, right? And so I had to tap into that, right? No point intended. Um right, don't go back. So I had I had to tap into that shit and had to tap into feelings, man. Like, and it's being vulnerable on the track, and it's crazy because I did a song called Let Him Live, and it ain't released yet, but the artist that's singing on it. I met him at Sunday service. Teddy, no shit, oh shit, yeah.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, listen, and he I mean hey, look that hey, I got nothing bad to say about Teddy. I love Teddy, that's my brother, man. He's been supporting me uh with my shows when I brought back the get down. Uh, when I came back before a movement, he had been there. Like, you I go through the pictures, I'm like, There goes Teddy right there. So, since then, we've been like he and I, we've been collaborating on Sunday service. Like, if I'm Morris Day, that's Teron. Like, we we be on it, yeah. Well, as soon as we get some dance sets together, it's curtains for everyone.
SPEAKER_08I and I will say this much about Teddy, man. Um, that's the smile, man. Man, he I want to see it, we smile all the time, bro.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, and I would be like, Y'all better not make Teddy bad.
Vulnerability In Music And Community
SPEAKER_08Like he do. That motherfucker ain't got a smile on his face, somebody about to get their ass whooped, real talk immediately. Um, but he but he dope. So, like I said, like so like those type of songs, those those vulnerable songs, yeah. Like you think about it, like, man, like how much do I put out, you know, because I don't want you know, we're in the hip hop community, you know. I don't want that's true. I hear niggas see me in the street, like, man, nigga, you was crying on the song, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_07I I do know what was funny is that I I honestly believe because of the the nature of our at least from from my perspective, our the nature of our underground community, you know, we've had people in our community release like pretty emotional songs when they've lost a parent and and stuff like that, man. And to share that vulnerability and how how they've been. I've caught people in the streets, you know, saying, you know, shout out to Andreas Helly, like, you know, saying when he lost his pops, you know, and he and I I felt him, you know what I'm saying? And and I saw him out and about, like, it was just one of them random nights at at Subterranean. And I caught him. I was like, yo, man, I listened to the music. I I wanted to check in on you, like, you know, just how his approach to handling it and then the vulnerability and access that he gave people during that time period, you know, it was it was incredibly admirable, you know. And I I what I told him, I was like, I personally I knew that I was gonna say the next time I saw him, I was incredibly proud of him, and just you know, in in admiration of what he's doing in his music. I still am, you know, saying he's still doing great things. We all are, which is great.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, hold on for one second.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, while he's taking a commercial break. I'm about to grab one of his cutwaters.
SPEAKER_08Well, the dunny halfway hip hop, like because the bunch of pretty much he's super super soul, yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like he's uh he's he's super lyrical, he's super relatable, and it's so cool, and it's like this.
SPEAKER_07And he just has a homegrown, he just got a homegrown cadence, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_08Yeah, he's like the epitome of Chicago hip hop. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you want to hear Chicago niggas rap, listen to the yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_07Um, shout out to the But there's a there's a there's a lot of us that are like that, you know what I'm saying? You know, uh Val is another good one. You know what I'm saying? If you if you really want to like, he's pretty like the buddy guy of hip Chicago hip hop. You know what I'm saying? Like he's like the blues version of us, I do like in my opinion. I agree. I agree. You know what I'm saying? Like it's it's just like a guitar with some slap. It's a general bit, like, yeah.
Defining A Healthy Relationship
SPEAKER_08Yeah, I like and both of them motherfuckers, they they they they set be live, but you know what I'm saying? I love the way they interact with the crowd, you know what I'm saying? Like it don't be it'll be boring performances, pause, yeah. Um this motherfucker paused himself. All right, so speaking so speaking of vulnerability, let me ask you this. What's your definition of a healthy relationship?
SPEAKER_07Um, a healthy relationship is having the ability to grow from uncomfortable conversations because a lot of people believe that communication, oh, we're good at communication. Yeah, that's cool. You communicate well when it's about something that goes well, right? But how do you communicate beyond that when it's not an agreeable conversation? You know, and and now you have to understand the chemistry of your relationship. Is it does it require me to have some compromise? You know, do I have it? Is it a really about right or wrong, but it's about resolution, getting to a resolution afterwards, rather than someone sitting up here just faltering to say, all right, fine, I'm sorry, just to move on to the next subject. What you're doing is creating a mountain hill of future disappointment or trauma that someone can bring up later because it was unresolved. Right. So you have I think it's important to because most times in relationships, depending on who's right or wrong, or any case, the person that's wrong wants to just move forward and just go ahead with the conversation and act like it's a new thing. Whereas the other person's like, no, I don't want this stupid shit to happen again. So we go, we're gonna talk about this. So you understand what I'm coming from, and then I hear where you're coming from. But that that's you have to most people don't realize that's where the real energy comes from, uh, or where the real energy should be spent, not in yelling obscenities, because you're gonna have to walk that shit back anyway. You know what I'm saying? But you know, you can have an outburst and stuff like that. How is the other person at? I'm not the type of person that's going to get to or reach to an outburst. It takes me a while to get there, but once I'm mad, I'm mad, you know what I mean? Yeah, but my type of man is that I get quiet, and it's I'm the loudest, most talkative person in a room in most cases all the time. If I get quiet with you, yeah, it's probably bad.
SPEAKER_08Yeah. And you know what? I think about that shit, bro.
SPEAKER_03And I'd be like, I'd be like, click, my bitch.
SPEAKER_07You're now uh tuned in to Lick Versatile. Apparently I am not alone in the liberal of the show. On my own on my own. Which I'm perfectly fine with taking over the show in lieu of our brother Monsoon not being here. With that being said, shameless plug, support your local weed man, prohibition THC cafe located downtown, near the corner of Sir Mackin State, right next to Reggie's.
SPEAKER_08So this is what I was saying. Just because you got ATT, dog. I'll just fuck with you. Yeah, that might that might be it. That might be it. Um talking about vulnerability. Right. I'm getting older, trying to retrace my thoughts because shit had to f up on god dang it.
SPEAKER_07Well, you were talking about mostly uh with what is the hardest thing in relationships to do, right? And I was saying honest, honest or follow through honest communication. It's not enough to communicate when you're angry, it's well, it's not just enough to communicate when things are good, but if you can if you can work through community through getting angry rather than being passive and say, All right, we're over it, right?
Promoting Events Without Burning Out
SPEAKER_08Um so when you think about um like building a phone, yeah. What do you think is the most challenging element of doing that, especially in the city of Chicago?
SPEAKER_07Um, I think I I know that the hardest part for me is probably, but which is not the hardest part is like trying to gauge whether or not when I'm promoting, am I being annoying enough or I'm not annoying enough? Right. Because I know that most people have a short attention span. And as far as frequency and dedication to want to promote an event, I want to be a consistent on that. So my job is to make sure that I put together decent events that create an experience, and I can have the dopest event that has the dopest lineup and all this other stuff to have that, but if nobody fucking knows about it, you know saying, and because there's so many great things that happen in Chicago, it's it's it's kind of like a you know, everybody's got to be on their point. Are you promoting every day? Are you uh pushing on those personal connections that you make with people? You know what I'm saying? Like, are are you encouraging all the artists to promote to their markets? So the biggest thing and and probably the most uh frustrating thing about doing that is trying to figure out if I'm doing enough. Am I covering all my bases or giving myself the best chances and opportunities for people to see the product that I'm putting out?
SPEAKER_08Okay, so what have what has the older lyric learned?
SPEAKER_07However, you still will allow the younger lyric to go through all an experience that I had that I've had over the years that I noticed from then and then would still let him go through that shit, yeah. Do I get to take away all the other stuff? Because I say something that's simple as like you remember that time you thought you could jump up that fourth step, and then it was too high, and then you cracked your head and bled everywhere. I'd take that away for sure, but technically, I from that time that happening, uh, I hit my head, landed on my ass, bleeding everywhere, and then I get some like gauze from these uh ambulances that were already showing up on 79th, and I thought they were showing up for me. I'm like, shit, did they think I was white? Like on 79th, even turns out a guy got stabbed on the train, so that's why they were there. So it just happened to be 79th, yeah. It turned out to be an opportune. So I grabbed some gauze and I I had to be at the studio that day, so probably had a concussion, but I still went to the studio and I recorded uh the song that I always do, definition. Oh, that's a banger, too. Yeah, it was. My head was ringing, but uh I don't know, man. I think that uh I I would have to say I would have to have gone through my relationship experiences to get to where I am uh now, you know what I mean? Because in the same token that they ended up being a motivation that gave me a departure of what a life outside of music would have been, you know what I mean, or could have been. Right. And you know, it through that and through those experiences, I started not using music as a crutch and something to fall back on, and then it started becoming something more like a a part of me and and part of an entity and something that had to be respected and putting my best foot forward. So like it was it's it has become something that I can't just necessarily put down. I could change the frequency and how I'm involved with it, uh, but my dedication to it is a lot different now. It's purposeful, right?
SPEAKER_08Speaking of purpose, do you think fat fat people deserve their own section at buffets?
SPEAKER_07Uh like so I don't think we're gonna be displaying. I I I don't I don't, yeah, but it feels real fucking discriminatory. I don't know where I'm gonna be at in 10 years, like and I like food too, goddammit. But I'm patting because I'm thinking like, oh shit, we got fat seats left. And then like I I don't, I don't, I don't think that's fair, but that seems really discriminatory towards fat people. Like, look, but here's the thing you ostracize fat people in a restaurant. Now I understand you doing that shit when it comes to a to a roller coaster. Right. I'm I'm I'm sorry, Willow May. You know you was huffing and puffing, just walking up this ramp to get to this roller coaster, right? And you know it's an overlong, it's hanging over your chest. The only thing you know is right here in front of your chest, you know, ain't gonna come all the way down. Come on, like, and that's why they started putting the seats down at the bottom at Great America. Like, look, this is the expectation for you walk all this way up this ramp to get here and say you made it smaller. No, you had an example, but let's be clear that's not necessarily discriminatory, that's informational. If you make a fat seat in a restaurant, this is where a fat person should feel safe. So now you're making the spaces where they're safe in. No, no, you put them on a pedestal as if they could be on it, but it's not the point.
SPEAKER_08Like goddamn it. I'm just saying, I just I just thought about it being like this is what you think. No, I'm I'm just saying sometimes you go to a buffet and motherfuckers like you know, they judge motherfuckers, you know, so they like look at this motherfucker, you know what I'm saying? But if they have their own section, then it's everybody and you can eat how you want to eat, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_07Look, you can say whatever you want about me. I probably like if I'm at a good buffet, golden corral. I don't care. Look, I'm telling you, everybody should go to golden corral and eat however the hell they want to eat. By the time I'm done eating at Golden Corral, I got A1 steak sauce on my eyebrow because I'm chewing it down, trying to hurry up and get back. It doesn't matter. Eat comfortably. Don't let these people they're like, you're gonna fat chain me and eat chain me. Now I can't sit up here and slurp up my goddamn spaghetti comfortably, like happily.
SPEAKER_08That's that's that's a damn good point, man.
SPEAKER_07So we all I gotta you know he was a racist, right?
Bitch I Got Options Game
SPEAKER_08Bob Barker was racist. So what's the minute uh so pretty much don't matter? Yeah, all right. So this is pretty much multiple choice, and if you were the kind of student that I was in CPS, you love multiple choice because you just pretty much narrow it down, yeah. Rule out the rule out the bad answer, right? You didn't really have no shit.
SPEAKER_07I'm a Sagittarius, I'm a Sagittarius, we always pick the bad answers, right? They want us to pick that that one, right?
SPEAKER_08Terrible. So I said the name of this game is called Bitch I got options, so it's pretty much most interesting, and it's just real shit.
SPEAKER_07So first question The average price for coochie in the 50s was most likely a the rent, b 40, c$100, or D, a nice dress and some heels in the 50s, in the 50s, I guarantee you forty dollars was worth a lot more in the 50s, but I digress. I'm gonna say the heel, the last answer, the the nice dress and some heels, because for rent, I'm pretty sure someone was already paying that because they didn't have equal women's rights, so somebody some dude was paying for it. Uh yeah, but forty dollars is diabolical.
SPEAKER_08I think I'm gonna go with you on that on D. All right. Next one if your wallet gets stolen at the gym while you're playing basketball, who is most likely to have stolen it? A one of your opponents, b a weak ass player that didn't get picked up, C one of your teammates that you didn't pass the ball together, or D, the person helping you look for it.
SPEAKER_07That's fucked up. That's a true answer for me. B because the dude that didn't get picked up, because he ain't got shit to do, he just standing on the sidelines anyway, so he got nothing but time, right? He could also be D.
SPEAKER_09Oh man, should you lost your wallet, man? I I you put your bag over here, right?
SPEAKER_07I was just standing over there.
SPEAKER_08Okay, um, next question. Yeah, easiest place to steal from a target, b Walmart, C, Food for Less, D, Aldi.
SPEAKER_07Hey man, first of all, it ain't D because that security guard, even though he getting 895, he he is like the only person that could steal here is me. I think you can go shopping after everybody leave. And bet you he keep the quarters that the bums don't take. I digress. There you go. But it's it's it's definitely B. In a former life, a former life, B is uh is Walmart, and and I literally walked out of there with a whole vacuum and a a home entertainment system.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense.
SPEAKER_07That makes a lot of sense.
SPEAKER_08Um who is most likely to put their bare feet on the dashboard in the car? A black girl, b white girl, Latinas, D gay niggas, gay dudes.
SPEAKER_07First of all, if it's D, you the car's not even stopped, you're getting out in the Tucker Roll. Like I'm opening your door. Uh it's it's it's a it's it's a toss up between B and C. It'll it could be all of them, but it's a tossle between B and C, you know, hippie white girls. She'll be like, oh my god, I just love to have the air filled for my toe. If it's a Latin chick, she's doing it because she disrespecting your new car. She knows you just got that car two days ago. Oh, you don't like when I do this? No, PC Buto mic on.
SPEAKER_08It really sounds like you speaking of experience. I know. Um on the classic TV show, good time, James Evans wife was A Florida, B, Wheezy, C, Thelma, D, the streets. A Florida. I'm gonna go with y'all now. All right. Um what do you think is the most neglected body area when in the shower? A behind the ears, B between your toes, C, the back of your knees, D, your navel.
SPEAKER_07Uh I think B and B behind the ears for sure. I know, like most motherfuckers they'll well, no, the toes, definitely the toes. There's a lot of these funky, funky, funky foot motherfuckers. And they wonder why they feet be out here looking like LeBron's. It's like because the funk, the, the, like, look, Jordan's ain't for everybody, bro. They're not for everybody. And you need to start ergonomically thinking about your feet out here, and then especially when you wearing when you wearing Tim's, your feet ain't breathing, and then you got the nerve to sit in the mugs for 14 hot hours, your feet become baked potatoes, and you got the nerve to come take, like bring your funky foot ass in the house where while your wife or girlfriend is cooking and shit, you pack, you kick them motherfuckers off, and all that funk. It's this is the first time your feet is getting oxygen, and funk needs oxygen to spread. I'm not saying everybody should wear crocs, I'm just saying the proper foot care is is is necessary. I got you.
SPEAKER_08All right, last one. Yep. Um, which one of these will wake you up quicker? A coffee. B Moun Dew. Let me go back. I'm sorry. Which one of these will wake you up quicker when driving? Driving. Okay. A coffee. B Moun Dew.
SPEAKER_07You know what I'm saying? When you just try to drive careful and shit like that and doing all of that, right? Your journal spikes and all of that. You show them your shit. You know, you say what you gotta say to get out, right? Every, every, every black person has done this. Every brown person has done this. As soon as that officer gets back in his car, you start pulling it away. You had a breathing moment. That should buy you for another 20 minutes. You you'll your adrenal has spiked. And you're up. Guaranteed.

Ha ha, you don't talk about none of the neutrons. So check it out, uh First got it when he was six, didn't know when he tricks. Matter of fact, first time he got on it, slip, landed on his deathbed, bust to slip for a week. He had to talk with a list like this. Now we can end the story right here. But Jody didn't quit, it was something in the air. Yeah, he said it was something so feeling talking about it. He knew he couldn't doubt it, couldn't understand it. Brandic, just the first kick flip, he landed, off, labeled a mix fit, a bandit. Coco, cocoon, cocoon. His neighbors couldn't stand it, so he was banished to the park. Started in the morning when it stopped after dark. Yeah, when they said it's getting late. Yeah, don't starve a young man that's don't skate. So we kicked, push kick, push kick, push, kick, push, coach. And away he roll, just a rebel to the world with no place to go. And so we kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coach. So come escape with me, just a rebel looking for a place to be. So let's kick and push and coach.
SPEAKER_09Um, um, um, um, my man got a one to do when I start numbers and start digging and chewin'. They don't know that the solo go for that potholes in my lawn that I go for my rocks, which I concentrated so hard on. I don't ask for maximum security, but my dwelling is swelling. It lit my butt when I happen to fall into a spot where no ink or an egg block was on the scroll. I just wrote me a new mo, but now it's gone. Cause those suckers knew that I hate to recognize that every time I'm writing it's gone.
SPEAKER_08Hey, this is my shit. Hope y'all like it too. Hey, I hope y'all like it.
SPEAKER_13I found that it's not wise to leave my garden unintended, cause eyes has now fought in on laws of privacy. Thieving paws are after my writer seat. I perceive that everyone's saying what to do when suckers are praying upon my well guarding spreadsheets. Oh, why hell does it send up fleece of evil? Big hold, digits of evil doers who dig hold. Or better yet, call 911. And when they get here, I inform them on the plug one of the plache and let them realize the reason. Up your ass no we've come down with a case of potholes.
SPEAKER_08Hey, but let me get into some other shit right quick.
SPEAKER_10Before I became a teen, I melted microphones instead of colds on ice paint music orientated. So when hip-hop was originated, fitted like pieces of puzzle complicated. Cause I grab the mic and try to say yes, y'all. They try to take it. They say that I'm too small. Cool, cool. Cause I don't get upset. I kick a hole in the speaker, pull a plug, then I jet. Then I dive to the lab without a mic to grab. So then I add all the rhymes I had, one after the other one. Then I pick another one. I get a craving like I fame for nicotine. But I don't need a cigarette. Know what I mean, what I mean. Don't it sound amazing? Cause every rhyme is made in thought of custom sort of an addiction, magnetized by mixing, focused, vocabulary, and versus just stuck in. The mic is a drain though, volcanoes erupting, rhymes overflowing, gradually growing. Everything is written in the code, so we can coin side. But throw it to God. Spread the word, some N E F F E C T. A smooth operator, eyebas, move operator, eyebas, move operator, eppas, move, operator, eppas, move, operator, eppas, move, operator, eppas, move.

You see the songs of my rupture. It don't take time for me to blow your mind. It takes a second to record. Because you dumb and blind to just around. But you're an MC cloud within the circuit.
SPEAKER_02A P and B is the top. Total chaos, no math's confusion. Rhyme's so hypnotizing on the cause and the losing Like a magician. He draws a rabbit out of hat stunt. I draw a more like a 44 magnet. MC face, I looking listen, and try to imagine. Traveling the speed of light, but everything's both fright. Plus the thoughts too alone.
