Get them likes up.
We gonna talk tonight.
It's a serious, serious, serious topic.
We gonna talk tonight about one of my favorite subjects, hip hop. That is. I mean, we can talk about gossip, we can talk about anything, but let's talk some hip hop. I know this is not popular to talk hip hop. Nobody really wants to talk about hip hop, especially when you qualify to talk about it. I mean, a lot of people talk about it, but they ain't qualified.
The most qualified, the most respected, that would be me. All these other dudes ain't never been in no studio sessions. They ain't never make no beat.
They don't know the difference between a kick, snare, high hat, crash open high hat.
I do. I've been in the studio with the legends, the greats of fly on the wall, for many studio sessions from 15 years old up till today.
Still there, still making beats like this. And don't forget, doggie diamonds did this. That's a fact.
That's a fact.
But we could talk this hip hop thing when we qualify. When, you know, doggy domestic, doggie doggie domestic, doggie, doggie domestic, doggie doggie domestic, this. Everybody can't say they did their own intro beat. Everybody can't say they make fire for the intro.
Ah, I don't care if it's ten people in here, 20,000, 500,000, I don't care. We gonna talk tonight.
We gonna talk some music.
What's missing? Music talk. We talk about everything else.
Listen to that Jaguar Wright bull day in and day out of. We ain't talking about none of that. Let's go.
I stop the music. Stop the music. What's up, everybody? I go by the name of doggy diamonds. This is Doggy Diamonds tv. This is Doggy diamonds. No filter. No filter. Even though I gotta have filter because, you know, the eyes is on me. They keep the eyes on me.
And if the pause is really quick, just refresh. I'll be right back. Because, you know, they like playing with me. I can't talk about everything that everybody else could talk about. You know, I'm watched. So I had something else that I was gonna talk about, but I'm like, nah, they already said that I talk about certain topics. That's, you know, so I'll do that. So listen, okay?
We gotta keep it real.
We got a few albums drop.
Eminem dropped the album the death of slim shady. I listened to it.
Eminem could rap.
Eminem could rapidly rap.
Eminem got dope flows, put words together well, but I don't like the content.
That's my gripe with the album. It ain't my type of content.
It ain't what I want to hear.
So I skim through it, I listen to it, and then I'll keep it moving.
That's how I am.
I'll listen to it, I'll skim through it, and then I'll be like, nah, none of these songs resonate with me.
Nah, I don't really like this. This ain't my type of.
This ain't my type of rap.
Could he rap? Hell, yeah. The words going together crazy. Hell, yeah.
Is the rhyme schemes difficult? Hell, yeah.
A lot of it is difficult. I'm not even gonna lie to you. A lot of people cannot do what Eminem does.
A lot of people cannot do what Eminem does. Not even go up front.
He's great at what he does.
But the content mess up my bop.
Mess up everything.
Am I sitting there like I'm not listening to it?
I don't listen to lupe at all, although Lupe can rap. I don't listen to Lupe because I want y'all to remember, Lupe was one of the main artists pushing that on us. He was one of the main artists pushing that on us. So ever since then, I wrote Lupe off until Lupe goes out before the people and say, yo, erroneously, I was pushing an agenda on y'all, and I made a mistake. I don't listen to Lupe. And you could tell him I said it. I don't even care.
He was one of the main ones pushing that on us. So everything he said from that point on was null and void because facts came out and the proof came out that he was saying a lot of those things in error and he didn't know what the fuck he was talking about.
And he was using his celebrity to help fuel agendas. So I don't listen to Lupe, so I don't want to hear no talk about his album, Samurai kung fu, five deadly venoms, none of it don't care.
So who cares until he come out there before the people. Cause see, this is a lot of thing that artists do. They do and say stuff and then they think we forgot. Like we have short term memory. Like we're all pill popping, drug using drinkers and smokers and eat honey packs. No, some of us are sober and very, very cognizant about what people do and say, and we gonna hold your feet to the fire. And Lupe is one of them.
So the fact that he was going hard too.
Nah, not listening to you, fam.
Not listening to you.
That's just me. That's just what I think. Y'all listen to it. Y'all listen to it. If y'all think he's scientific and all of that whatever on you, you know, I don't rock with it, but what I do rock with, if I can find it for you. As you have to see this album cover, let me tell you what I rock with. What I listen to, what I've been listening to all day since it dropped back to back to back to back.
This right here, see that, you see that, that album right there?
1234-5678 910 1112 13 1415 Fire.
[00:08:08] Speaker B: The.
[00:08:08] Speaker A: Auditorium, volume one by common and Pete rock Fire.
Reason why this album is very, very important. Both of the men are in their fifties.
Luckily, one day we'll all be 50.
Hopefully we'll all be 50.
For them to be in they fifties and still be making that level of music in a time where you have people like Andre 3000 saying, I don't know what to rap about, what I'm supposed to be rapping about colonoscopies and stuff like that. So he decided to be, you know, play flute music and play, you know, music like it was a chase scene in the damn in the woods or something like that. Andre 3000, that's considered to be one of the best rappers, said he doesn't know what to rap about at his age. Well, comment just showed you how you can rap at this age.
Jiggy J TV, thank you for the paying for the promotion as well. Jiggy JTV has a event going on with head ice soon. Make sure you follow his page right there. All the details. You seen the promo on here? But Jiggy J TV did a head ice documentary that's coming out soon. Make sure you tune in jiggy JTV. So look, you have somebody who rather play the flute than rap.
This nigga wasn't even playing on notes.
I heard. I heard better notes on.
On all types of shit.
So when you get to the auditorium, reason why it's important. And we shouldn't make no extra rap categories or urban hip hop or adult hip hop. None of that shouldn't be done. It's just hip hop.
Because when it's kitty hip hop, we don't say kitty hip hop. These ladies that make these ratchet records, they don't have a category of hip hop. It shit is called hip hop. It's called rapid. So why would you make some dope hip hop? You need a special category. No, they need a special category. Cause what common and Pete Rock did is the hip hop that we know.
That's the hip hop that we know. What they're doing is not the hip hop that we know and find what they doing. But if we gonna categorize anything, categorize what they're doing. You got trap, you got drill, you got crunk, you had hip house, you had hip hop reggae.
Now you got, like, ratchet hip hop classified that. But don't say that this hip hop needs its own category. No, it don't. Cause that's the foundation of what it was.
Now, they made an album, common, sound good as ever.
Pete Rock is always sharp as ever, and it's a good piece of music that sounds sonically good. It doesn't sound dated. Because when I was critical of Hitboy, I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't like Hitboy production. I just don't sonically, it doesn't sound good to me. I know Nas is a lot of people, hero, king, whatever. They like that. They dropped six albums and all of it. I don't like hit boy. Hit boy is missing hit. He's not even hit or miss. He's miss, miss, miss, miss, hit.
Miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss. Okay, miss, miss, miss. Okay, that's my opinion.
I got a right to have an opinion because we're talking about the culture. I didn't say whether he's a gangster or none of that. And sometimes when you talk about hip hop, people try to say, oh, you. You know, we go to the street, we James, prince, everything. You know, we start slow talking shit, I dare you to talk about Hitboy. You know, we ain't doing none of that. We ain't James prince in it. I don't like Hitboye. Don't like Hitboy.
So when I was critical of Hitboy, people were saying, oh, y'all stuck in the nineties, blah, blah, blah, blah. You want them old beats?
I'm not stuck anywhere. I just like music that sonically sound good. And Pete rock proved just now that you can make nineties beats in 2024. And it don't sound like the nineties. It just sounds like good music. Good music has no time.
First of all, a lot of these beats that you like, the Griselda type beats, you think those are 2024 beats?
Those are the old beats that RZA and Eric Sermon and certain people would make. That's not new music. And y'all love that shit. So saying somebody stuck in the nineties, if that's the case, Griselda wouldn't be successful at all.
A lot of them beats, beat drums, no samples in it or just little stabs and noise with just some hard drums. So when y'all talking hip hop, please talk to your peers. Sometimes, please talk to somebody who don't know no better. As I'm not talking off of emotion. I'm talking about what I know. I was in the studio. I was there. I'm not even gonna tell you some of the records that I mixed. You'd be surprised some of the hit records that you put. Anyway, I ain't gonna talk about that. I put it in the book.
I put it in the book. But anyway, so when I was critical of Hitboy, people were singing, oh, hit boy, this. And. But then the same people in the same breath say that I'm stuck in the nineties. Cause I don't like Hitboy. They won a Nas in DJ premiere album. Like, DJ premier is gonna do something different. What do you think DJ premier is gonna give Nasda?
What do you think DJ Premier is gonna give Nas?
So that's why the title of the video, what it is the body of work that common and Pete rock just put out. And my favorite wrong. My favorite wrong. My favorite song on the album is this man.
Listen, I play the album, then he get to this man, and I gotta play that about 17 times. And then I move forward. But when that this man come on.
I was about to tell you where the drums come from, but I don't know if he cleared the drums. And I don't want a sample snitch. So I ain't gonna tell y'all.
So listen, this album just put you in the mood. This album just make you feel good.
Comments sound crisp as ever.
Pete Rock is on point.
And remember, this is not the nineties Pete rock that's doing the beats on the SB 1200. This is a new guy that still has the ear for samples, loops, drums, everything in 2024.
So when I sat back and listened to wyze up, I was like, I get it. And I called Pete. I was like, yo, why you ain't putting no scratches on wise up?
He said, because Shan voice don't need no scratches.
And then wise up was an owe to Mc Shan, who's from Queens Bridge and was able to get MC Shan a check.
So it just made sense now.
I wish trying was on the album.
I love trying. I wish tryin was on the album. Oh, my God. One of my favorite records, too, they made.
But I like the one producer, one rapper albums. I think it reminds me of Pete rock and seal smooth. It reminds me of Gankstar. It reminds me of ePMD. I like that. I'm not really a big fan of collage albums where I'm gonna get a beat from him, beat from him, beat from him. I like when producers sit in the studio and Pete Rock is known for that. Pete Rock has done albums with Smith and Wesson, Sky Zoo, smoke Dizza, camp Low. Now, common people don't realize he's been doing that a lot. And that Smith and Wesson album Pete Rock did incredible. Sky Zoo album, incredible, smoke Dizza album, superhero music, incredible, incredible, incredible now the dope shit is.
Now that this album is out, I don't know if y'all know Pete Rockin premier have been silent rivals who use the same samples.
Use the same samples.
Who did the first prophet for J Ru premier who remixed the Prophet, bodied that Prophet remix? Pete Rock, remember adore, let it all hang out. That sample is on Gangstar album. They've used the same samples a few times. And I'm. I'm not gonna be biased, but I'm gonna be real with you.
I feel like Pete got him every time. The first prophet was dope. But that profit remix, even on Illmatic album.
Even on Illmatic album, I love all the beats. I love New York State of mind, I love represented, I love memory Lane. But something about that, damn, the world is yours when you heard that doom, doom, doom, doom Pete rock is incredible, incredible so now this puts the pressure on Nas and Primo to finally deliver. So if they had any cold feet, if they thought it couldn't be done because both of them individuals are in their fifties. Common and Pete Rock opened the door, opened the lane for 50 plus MC's and DJ's and producers to go in the studio and work. Now is the time. You got common, you got Pete Rock, you got ll dropping. 50 plus ll is like 55. You got ll dropping, you got DJ Muggs dropping dj mugs might be like 56 or something like that. Now is the time. So when they say it's a young man's game, that's cap.
That's cap.
It's time for the veterans to come out and show because you can't sit on Twitter, you can't sit on instagram and complain about what the youth is doing. No, come back out, find your tribe, and that's it. Except for that guy. Except for Greg. Nice. I didn't like that right record he did.
And I don't even really like the records that ll is doing. But I just like the fact that ll is back outside.
I like the fact that ll is back outside because I think Ll had ran into some fear of recording he ran into some fear of recording because he didn't know where to go with the direction. And his album is being produced by who? Q Tip, another individual in his fifties.
So we could have Pete Rock, common, Ll, Q Tip, DJ mugs, we could have a Nas and primo album. And now it's time. Now it's time to do that. So the pressure is on them. They supposed to. They were supposed to set the precedent for what was going on, right? They were supposed to set the precedent for what's going on and they didn't. They dropped the ball. Common and Pete Rock show. This is how you do it. This is how it's going to get done. And this is where we at now. And it's part one.
I wish, I want to see what part two was going to sound like. I want to see what part three. I want to see where Carmen go with this. I think common and Pete rock should do a trilogy.
I think they should do three albums.
Dog Pound did drop.
I think they should do three albums.
And I want to hear what Premiere is going to sound like in 2020 for.
I'm gonna be open and honest with you, I haven't really been liking DJ Premier's production for a while.
I know. So Gav said it, see, which is not my opinion. I haven't been liking DJ Premier's production for a while.
Although what he did on Absol albumen, incredible.
Listen to Absol Absol. Last album, listen to the DJ premiere joint. It's incredible.
But I do like the boom premiere. I do like the group home was his best production to me, but I'm interested in what they come up with. And for the most part, I'm gonna be honest, too. A lot of people ain't gonna like me saying this, but Nas is really not a great beat picker.
He's really not a great beat picker.
When he did the project with Kanye, I loved Adam and Eve, but the cop shot the kid. Cop, cop shot the kid. I didn't see the problem with the NAS projects is that people made Nas the answer to Jay Z. So whatever Nas do, they just want to say he better than Jay Zhdemenheze.
So you so busy saying he's better than Jay Z, you're not listening to what he's doing.
Whether you feel he's better than Jay Z, that's your opinion. You could have it. You could like them both also.
Um, but I didn't really like, I didn't like the hitboy projects, I didn't like the king's disease projects. And a lot of people say they love it, but you're not even playing it.
You just wanted to argue none of those records were memorable. Let's be real with you. None of them records on King's disease were memorable. None of them. Were they cool? Yes. Could he rap hit like a motherfucker? Hell yeah.
But the songs, sonically, the sound, none of that has been memorable.
None of it. You don't play none of that shit now. None of it is in your shit. When you play Nas, you go to, it was written, and you go to other albums. You're not playing King's disease, you're not playing none of that other shit. So you need to stop capping. And then the minute you pick Nas, you go right to those old shits, which I call everything a classic.
I call everything a classic.
Everything is a classic.
But I don't even think y'all know what a classic is. A classic is something that gets played 20 years later and you still got that feeling that you got, like, when it first came out. That's what a classic is, is the difference between a good song, a song you like, and a classic.
A classic. A classic is something that you could play from front and back, front to back. I'm out of touch. How could I be out of touch?
Matter of fact, what is your name? Zaire. Zaire thinker. I'm out of touch, but I got more say so than you do.
I got more pull than you do.
And you give me one channel that you go to that people talking about music or hip hop.
King disease is not a classic.
Are you playing it from front and back? No, but you like it because you he's better than J. Y'all don't even listen to it no more. Y'all just want to say he's nicer than hove over a beefe that they had back in the days that they don't even talk about no more. You still comparing Nas and Jay Z?
A classic is something that you play forever.
That's what a classic is.
Front to back. Purple tape, classic.
The purple tape is a classic. Supreme clientele, classic. The first Wu Tang album, classic.
That. If it come on right now, you could be sitting there minding your damn business, and you could hear rainy days come on the glazes of ice, and you'd be like, oh, nah, don't cut that. Let somebody skip glazes of ice while you sitting there.
Let somebody skip verbal intercourse. You be like, yo, what you doing? Why you skipped that? That's a classic.
That's a classic. But when a song come on and you skip it, you like, yeah, I could have did without that.
That's a classic.
Almatic classic. Reasonable doubt classic.
Death certificate classic.
Those are classics.
Infamous first album, classic. But y'all call every it's a classic. How could it be a classic if it ain't even been out for 48 hours? And you calling it a classic, and then you don't play it within 72 hours? You off that.
Deshawn and Smith and Wesson classic. Certified classic.
NWA n words for life classic.
Classic.
Soulful goody mob, classic.
College dropout, classic.
College dropout, classic.
The blueprint, classic. The black album, classic. Onyx, all you got is us classic. It'd be like 72 hours. They'd be like, it's a classic. It's the best album ever. Yo, it's better than everything. It's like, yo, how is it better than everything? How was it a classic?
Tell me, how was the classic? It ain't even been out long.
War report classic. So all that colon stuff, a classic. Diplomatic immunity, classic. What's the other album? Come home with me. Sde? Classic. You know I'm saying the Eminem show classic. Get Richard dot trying classic. Those are classic records. That other stuff y'all be talking about is not classic records. They're not classics.
They're not classic. 36 chambers. I said the first. Woo. Album. Classic. The Eminem show one, two.
Those are classic records. That stuff y'all be talking about, not classics.
Yeah, so, yeah, those are classic albums. A lot of that shit y'all be talking about. None of those goddamn Nas, king disease are classics. None of them.
So stop. Be honest. Group home, classic. Gangstar, moment of truth, classic. Liquid swords, classic.
Lacronic classic one. 2001, doggy style classic. 400 degrees classic. The Carter three. Classic. Midnight marauders, a low end theory classic.
Those are classics. So stop calling everything a goddamn classic. Oh, it's a classic. No, it ain't, because you don't listen to it. Now.
Lenita, apple bone. Come on. Somewhere you like. Oh, nah, I forgot about this joint is fire.
You don't skip classics. You don't skip classic music, and you don't skip classic records. You don't skip classic albums.
You don't. You got classic mixtapes, too.
So like I was saying, kiss of death ain't no classic. Nothing. No albumen jadakiss ever made is a classic.
None of that shit. A criminal classic.
Machiavelli classic. All eyes on me, classic.
Classic.
3ft, high and rising. My things at stake. Stakes is high, but I'm biased.
So again, stop saying it's a classic.
Let me tell you something. A lot of y'all, and I'm not. I'm not disrespectful to my audience, but a lot of y'all are casual hip hop fans. You know why you casual hip hop fans? Because if you had to buy it, you wouldn't. But when some of these albums came out, people were online at 12:00 a.m. for that album to drop on that Tuesday. If you had to go outside at 12:00 a.m. and copper album, many of you wouldn't have done it. I stood online plenty of times for albums to drop. That's a classic. When you gonna go stand outside?
When you was downloading the album and it took seven days to download at one point, those are classic albums that you had to have. Some of you are classic people. You complain about free stuff. You heard it and you don't like it. I can't stand it. And it was free. Just like you complain about content that you didn't pay for. But you'll watch nothing on Netflix.
Absolutely nothing on Netflix. But you still pay that fitting $25 every month to watch nothing.
Well, here it is. You got people like myself and others giving you free content, and you'll still complain.
Y'all are all casuals. Me, I purchase music that I like, but let me move along.
Nas and Primo is on y'all.
It's on y'all.
I don't want to hear Nas with Hitboy again.
I don't want to hear Nas with Salam Remy.
I don't want to hear none of that.
I want to hear Nas and Primo. I want them to lock in. If it take a week, two weeks. Primo probably got beats that he had. Every producer has a stash. Every producer has music that they set to the side and said, yo, look, this is for Nas. Of course, there is a lot of beats he probably got. But everybody has music that they set to the side and say, yo, look, this is for Nasda. They let other people hear it. Other people probably like, yo, that's fire. That's fire. Yeah, that's fire. But that's for Nas.
So what's going to happen is, Primo, you need to go in that special batch. You need to sit there and say, yo, this is for Nas.
I don't like the dog pound beat Primo did. I don't like the mc eight beat he did. I don't like a lot of the music. The absol. Was fire. But. But ABj say, what if his sound is dated, though? Do we really need that? See, your sound can't be dated. All right, this is the thing with production. The beat maker show, right? This is what I want y'all to know.
There was a particular time where we heard other producers beats, and it was so fire that we ran to the home. Ran home to work. You couldn't wait to get on your equipment. You heard something that was so fire that you was like, oh, nah, I gotta go work. He bodied that beat. Oh, you heard the way he flipped that sample. That is something that we don't really get those moments and those feelings anymore, where people hear other beats and you say, yo, let me run, I gotta work.
We don't really hear that no more. And I was like, we hear a dope beat, it's like, okay.
Used to be a point where you hear something, like, when you hear a beat, you like, imagine you sitting in the crib and you hear the group home, come on, living proof.
You like?
Or you hear, come clean. Come on.
You on the front, what you like, yo?
Or you hear the blueprint album. You like, oh, nah, I gotta go work.
I gotta go work. I got. Yo, I gotta. I gotta. I gotta do my thing now. On the lost tapes, Pete Rock gave him two smokers.
Queensbridge politics was fire by Pete Rock. And that feels good.
Was fire.
It was fire.
So this is all we need now. Now we need primo to go into that special backs batch. We need him to go reach down for something and work. That's what we need.
Jiggy. JTV. Say, what do you think about alchemist sounds in 2024? Alchemist is dope. Alchemist could give that Nas that sound that he need.
There's people that could give Nas that sound. But I'm just talking about the pressure that what people always wanted was Nas and primo. Now it's time. The fact that everybody else is doing it, now it's time. Do it now.
Who sounds better? Nas sound better with Pete Rocker, Hitboy. Is that a real question? I mean, not Jasmine Lee. Why you keep typing? Give Nikki her credit. Why you keep typing that? That's like the fourth time I seen that. Give Nikki her credit.
Nikki ain't got no classic album.
Nicki Minaj got a classic album.
Why you keep. You give her her credit. If you think Nikki is got a classic album, that's personal. I don't know nobody who agrees with you.
Nobody.
But you could type that all you want. Give Nikki her credit. Credit for what?
Give Nikki her credit. Her credit for what?
I'm confused.
I didn't like that. I didn't like that monster verse. I didn't like the shit y'all liked. I didn't like that.
Give Nikki her credit. You typed that shit like, four times. Give Nikki her credit.
We ain't fucking barbs over here. Or Ken's right. Nikki D.
Give Nikki her credit.
I think the moderators might have got her out of here. Y'all ain't have to get her out of here. Let me see. Yeah, they dubbed a damn. Sometimes the moderators run the show. Do you get annoying? They get you up out of here. I don't. Be my call all the time.
You say, give Nikki her credit. Give Nikki our credit. Give Nikki our credit. I'm like, credit for what we don't like. I don't. I don't like that shit.
We talking about hip hop, real hip hop. And you talk about, give Nikki her credit. Or what?
Or what?
[00:38:39] Speaker B: What if I don't give her her credit?
Fuck you gon. Dude, we talk about hip hop and you bringing up Nicki Minaj at a time like this. We talking about Nas, premier, Pete Rock and condom.
Give Nikki her credit. Give Nikki her credit. What about Nikki? Give Nikki her credit.
Give Nikki her credit.
[00:39:10] Speaker A: Just cause you in the house with a pink wig on, we don't wear that shit.
The hell is going on.
Next thing you be, give ice Spicer credit.
For what you not listen, shout out to female MC's, but it's tough.
To listen to female mc's, it's tough.
So I like Shane Noir.
I like Shane wall.
Other than that, it's tough.
I liked Lola, Brooke and Billy B on on play with it. I did like that record.
I did like that record.
But other than that, once a woman start rapping about her privates, it's not music for me.
First of all, let's get this straight. Female MC's is going to rap from a female standpoint. I do not think like a female. How females think do not resonate with me. Let's be honest with you. It don't. So they rap for females, not as they rapping, rapping, but when they talk about combing and brushing their hair and yoni steams and that shit don't resonate with me. I'm here.
So give Nikki her credit.
[00:40:58] Speaker B: Give Nikki her credit. Give Nikki her credit. Give Nikki her credit. What about Nikki credit? Nikki deserve credit. Give Nikki her credit. You didn't give Nikki credit. I didn't hear Nikki. What about Pink Friday? You didn't say anything about Nikki. That's annoying. Oh, my God. How about that?
[00:41:15] Speaker A: Fucking up a perfectly good show. Talking about that shit right now. She online posting chucky shit. What the hell does that mean?
We don't know what none of that shit means.
Give Nikki her credit.
Even when chicks be rapping about guns, I be like, anyway, so I hope that Nas is watching.
I hope them braids at the top ain't too tight.
Um, look, this how I'm gonna bother y'all, right? Quick. I body y'all really quick.
Y'all say King's disease is a. Is a classic, right?
Magic is a classic. When you see Nas perform, what do you perform?
Do he perform any of them records or. He performed what?
His classics?
If it's a classic, why you don't perform none of those songs? You. Have you seen him perform anything off king disease or magic? Or magic. Have you seen him perform one record off a king's disease or magic? Give me one time you seen him perform any of them records? How you perform, how you make six albums and don't perform one of the songs ever?
What do he perform?
His classics.
[00:43:11] Speaker B: Case, clothes.
[00:43:16] Speaker A: Nah, it's a classic. You bugging hip w.
He don't perform one of them.
He go back before some of y'all was even born, when you was swimming around in your daddy nuts.
He go all the way back to his first few songs, which I be like, yo, yeah, it's a classic. So how come he don't perform his classics?
You'll see Jay Z perform new records.
You'll see 50 cent perform new records.
He never performed any of those songs. So how they classics.
Y'all like that record that him and Ghostface did?
[00:44:14] Speaker B: Let's have a moment of silence for the new record by Ghostface and Nas.
Oh, I'm back.
[00:44:32] Speaker A: Anyway, she said, nas don't perform nothing past. Still matic rest my cape, but y'all crazy classic. He's better than Jay. I seen Jay Z perform ball so hard, motherfucker. I seen him perform ham. I seen him perform any, any of his new shit.
But I hate comparing Jay Z and Nas. They're two different MC's, two different vibes sometimes, you know?
But I'm not a casual hip hop.
I'm not a casual hip hop listener. I'm not a casual fan. I'm not a person who listened to it. Sometimes I'm immersed in it.
I was there.
Been in the studio. I was there when some of these classic records were being created, I was there.
Jay Z is one of the only people who could drop an album with no videos. And people will still call it 444 was up there.
Sharif, thank you for support. My independent voice says I'm late to the show. Just hit the like button. Hey, thank you. I. I appreciate you, man.
And dare I say.
Dare I say.
I said this before.
Dare I say.
Dare I say y'all ready for this? Dare I say common is a Nas level mc.
Everybody might not agree with that, but I'm gonna be real with you.
I like a lot of common records.
A lot.
People might not agree with that, but common is up there.
He's up there, been up there.
Remember, I used to love her the whole time.
We didn't even know he was talking about hip hop until he said at the end of the record, we thought he was talking about a girl.
So that whole talking about one thing that he did and I gave you power, were you talking about a gun? That's common concept.
And he'll jump on the ground and do a windmill and break dance. And he freestyle off the top of the head like, you know, he freestyling.
Common is up there. Been up there.
B album, it's your world.
Common tone is crazy. His tone, this, this is his conviction.
It's crazy up there.
The light.
Let me tell you something.
That nigga give people a problem in that verses comment to give people a problem in that verses delight.
I mean, go through the albums one day, it all makes sense. Like water for chocolate. B resurrection.
Don't forget the shit that he did with slum village. Delonius.
The bitch in you. The hardest this record ever made, in my opinion.
You got no vaseline, then you got the bitch in you and sound crazy.
2024, the corners.
He's up there and he just proved it.
He just proved it.
Even come close to Neptune. Shit, he's up there.
Oh, um.
It's so easy.
Common is up there. So again, the ball is in Nas and primo court.
I want to hear it. I want to see it. I'm tired of announcements. I don't really care.
I think a Nas and AZ album had its time that we wanted to hear it.
I haven't really been liking AZ body of work.
Um, like that, I think AZ album comes on and he talks for like 20 minutes before he raps. I just don't like that. I just don't like it. Maybe people like it.
Yeah, the business. All I love is so easy, though. I just thought, um.
Yeah, every common feature he body, bin body and shit.
I just love. It's so easy. I just remember the only italians you know was icies. I just thought about that for some reason.
Um, shit, even love of my life, common and motherfucking on ghetto heaven with Bilal. Common and Erica Badu made dope records together.
Shit respiration with Taleb Kweli in most def fire.
So, yeah, I wanted to say that.
Who is this? Dior salam. Thank you for the cash app.
So, yeah, um, thank you to Pete Rock.
Um, I'm not gonna lie to y'all. I'm a little concerned with the LL project. I didn't hear it yet.
I didn't hear it yet.
The record or comment and high tech, the beat displayed in my head, comment just got endless. But let's say this right, I'm a little concerned with the Ll project.
Q tip is incredible. Producer passed, but the record that he got with Rick Ross and Fat Joe, it was cool.
Q Tip, your voice did not fit that record, bro.
Nobody's gonna tell you.
Q Tip, your voice did not fit that record.
Always pay it back. Always pay it. Always pay it back.
Fuck the record up.
Your record wasn't recording with your voice on it.
Let's be honest with you. You fucked the record up. The beat was cool.
Ross was Ross. Fat Joe was Fat Joe. But you, would that always be that over there? That over there over there that like, nah, no, no. No, no.
[00:53:50] Speaker B: No.
[00:53:58] Speaker A: I was a little concerned.
Yeah. Nah, I didn't like it.
I didn't like it. Q Tip and Q Tip, there's a certain bag you gotta get in for this ll shit. LL calls itself the goat.
Ll probably has one of the best voices in hip hop history, one of the best convictions.
But this project should not be just a bunch of records that are throwing out to see if people like it, because I know that ll had an issue with his confidence, because remember, ll has a whole album that he did with 50 Cent that was never released.
Remember he was with 50 Cent. They did a whole album. It never was released.
So Q tip, you. It's. It's a pocket that you can get in when you produce it for somebody.
And just cause you made the beat, that don't mean it's dope, for one. And just cause he liked the beat, that don't mean you. You should allow him to rap on it and release it.
I don't think that, um.
I don't like that.
I say 50 cent and ll is oil and water, JD, but who you think wrote paradise, amory and Llenna, that's 50 pin.
So what's a song by Doctor Dre that was supposed to be on detox called Topless?
Nas has a verse, is a version with Nas M and tip ti on that chorus. That's ll vocals. Look up topless.
DJ Mclove, I appreciate you. Look up topless.
That is ll on that chorus. I know ll voice anywhere.
But paradise, that's 50 pin.
But Joe, listen to topless.
It's, uh. That's ll on that.
Q tip ain't from Brooklyn. Q tip is from Queens.
Nah, I ain't going front. Topless ti verse they're writing for Dre.
But that shit is dope. Topless, that's like one of my favorite records.
Yeah, well, this is why I didn't like the paradise record, because you had in hip hop once upon a time, there was no beat biting, so we had paradise. But that was Pete Rock and c o smooth.
Take you there.
So when I heard as a kid, I was taught to. To think common was lame because he was a positive rapper. Took me. Grow up. Yeah. Facts shout out to you, Sharif Gunner. Thank you for the super chat. So I didn't like paradise because that was Pete Rock and salesmove. Take you there. Sample also was an OC sample. So if you listen to keep Rodney to the top, everybody knows.
But it's a break of the record where it goes dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun give it what you got that part is what they took to make the Pete rock and seal smooth and paradise. They cleared the sample so I could tell that. So when I heard paradise, I'm like, man, they use the OC and Pete rock joint, so I didn't like it. And then a Marie, I like Amari. She made some good records, but she wasn't the greatest. Ain't sound all that hot to me she ain't sound all that hot to me but keep rising to the top it's a part, the beginning to keep rising to the top sounds a lot like all night long, too by the Mary Jane girls, produced by Rick James. So. But it's a part of the record where he. Where he says, um.
He says, let's stop moving. Do do do.
Yeah, so I like that.
So that's what they sample. And it has to be two pieces that you have to combine to make that record do that, because it just doesn't play straight through. So you got to take a piece from here and then put a piece at the end and make it combine and make a record. That's. That's what it is. You know, I'm saying, um. Yeah, so that's, that's why that what it is. But I'm just saying it was times where, um, when people would sample something and we would hear the sample and be like, yo, he flipped. Keep riding to the top. Oh, no, then you will go home and put on keep riding to the top and hear how he did it. And then you might hear, if you could get you a little. Some of that. You know what I'm saying? You might hear, you know. Cause it's another record that flip. Keep riding to the top. It's called crosstown beef by Medina Green. It was on a ruckus. Albumen projects called Crosstown beef. Pasta noose from daylight soul did the beat. It's by Medina Green. It's called Crosstown beef. That's keep riding to the top as well. You know what I'm saying? So, um. Yeah, so me, I just. I'm just a sample guy. Like, I know every sample, every. I know. Listen when I tell you, I used to listen to records and see who produced what. And I, like I said on drink champs, I used to really read everything or who produced what. Who did the drums? Look up Medina green, crosstown beef, he flipped keep Rosin to the top pasta news did that from De La Soul. JD says, who's the best sonically? Producer, Doctor Dre.
Doctor Dre is the best. Sonic, sonically, producer, the best.
I had people say, because I said, doggy style is the best album, sonically.
Sonically. Doggy style is the album where you hear dinner. Dinner. You hear it, especially if you have headphones on, and you'd be like, oh, shit, I I didn't even hear all that.
And then Doctor Dre just shit just always sound. Oh, oh, oh. Speaking of Doctor Dre, I'ma be honest.
I didn't like the Marsha Ambrosius project.
Let me just be real.
I know a lot of people liked it.
I didn't like did it. To me, the Marsha and Bros's project sounds over produced, and it just sounds over some just be real.
Just sound over produced and oversung. It just. It was no grooves on there. It was just too much riffs and runs and all that. Oh, my God.
Like, could we just get us. Could we get a damn? Is getting late. Could we get a damn? Say yes on this album. Could we get one of those?
All of that over singing and too many nas samples and all that. We heard this music before.
Doctor Dre, you are a creator. Create, don't take nobody else. Shit. Oh, God. I didn't like it.
She was singing so much. The last Marsha Ambrosia song I like is a song called co star. I think Don Cannon did the beat.
I like co star. It's either Don Cannon or I don't think focus did that. I like focus and Marshall.
But the. But the.
This is overproduced. This was just doing too much. I couldn't, couldn't. Couldn't get jiggy with it. Needed more cowbell. You know what I'm saying? I couldn't get jiggy with it. Me, I like my music. If it's gonna be r and b, I like to just kick back and relax. All this over singing and all this riffing and sounding like a goddamn nightingale and all that. No, no, no, no.
All this songbird shit.
But I want to explain to y'all what sonically mean before I go.
Sonically?
Sonically doesn't mean the best beat.
Sonically doesn't mean the dopest beat.
Sonically means the clarity of the music. You hear every instrument, every sound in the beat. That's what Sonic says. That means the hurts of the beat, which is clear as hell where you heard shit that you like.
Is that a cello?
The blueprint isn't a classic.
Oh, God. Calvin, go back in the corner, please. You on your own with that one.
So I say, doggy, style.
I had said this before, I'm going to repeat. If you listen to doggy style and I. You listen to gin and Juice docs. The name. Anyway, doctor name is the worst album by Redman. Anyway. If you listen to Jen and Juice, you can hear do do do do do.
And you hear in the background.
[01:04:51] Speaker B: It'S.
[01:04:51] Speaker A: From a song called I get lifted. Keith Murray used it for I get lifted. But that's the original song. Now go listen to Jen and juice and listen to doom, doom, doom. You're gonna hear it tucked in there. But you hear it.
That's sonically when you start hearing shit in the beat, when you hear explosive and it just sound, damn, this shit sound clean. But it's still knocking. It's still is loud. It's still. You hear the lyrics is so clean.
That is sonically, when you hear every. When you hear this Tyrone Bryan, when you hear him pouring a drink and you hear do do do do, that is sonically the best album.
Doggy style. When you hear.
When you hear doggy dog world and you hear the bass line going doom, doom, doom, you hear the bass line and you hear everything in that beat.
Cause I know a lot of y'all hear is the synth sound. Y'all hear the.
That was a fucked up whistle. But you hear that. But you don't hear all the shit in the background of ain't no fun.
When you hear doggy dog world and you hear doom, doom, doom, doom, doom. Oh, you hear all that shit that's sonically like, yo, this shit sound crazy.
You start hearing shit in this speaker and you ain't hear it in that speaker. Didn't go to that speaker.
Yeah, that's sonically dope.
So as always, I enjoy talking hip hop with y'all.
I should pre. I appreciate. Y'all love this, this, this, uh, yeah, I love the dope. We're ready to die. Um, life after death. A lot of the albums that Diddy did were patterned after what Doctor Dre was doing. I know that for a fact.
Because if you listen to phone tap and then you listen to I can't believe it by Faith Evans and Carl Thomas, I can't believe it was knocking. It sounded harder than phone tap.
So they took that phone tap beat and tweaked the hell out of it.
Because when you listen to the music, when that music come on, you forgot all about what the dilly. You'll go straight to. I can't believe it. I'm emotional.
You'll go, you'll listen to emotional. Before you listen to phone tap and phone, the emotional shit was just knocking, knocking, you know what I'm saying? So. So, yeah, old tribe called quest album wasn't mixed that well. That's when lo fi music like is. If you play that music now, if you play low in theory, first of all, it's called a low in theory. So it was lo fi. And if you play some of that music now, it doesn't sound as clean and good as music does now. Especially a lot of them albums, hip hop albums are very, very low. That's why they used to say they're digital remastered, digitally remastered. Because they had to remaster it and raise the levels. A lot of hip hop albums are very low. Like, listen to brand new being play step to the rear.
Shout out to grand pool. But one of my favorite mc's. But play step to the step to the rear.
And then something else.
You said, renegade. Renegade. And girls. Girls are skips and hold out. Okay? Anyway, it's all subjective. Y'all got the right to have your opinion, but your opinion is your opinion. You can't act like it's fact and you know it's the end all, be all. Even my opinion ain't all of the be all, but it's my show, so my opinion count. I mean, shit, if Joe Button and could talk about Drake for seven weeks in a row in a podcast, I could talk about some hip hop, right?
Cause I'm Drake. Go.
I'm Kendrick and Drake. Doubt.
I like talking about something, like, couple of times, and then I'm off it.
We ain't gonna be. We ain't gonna be spending days with seven people in the room just talking about Drake every week. That ain't gonna happen.
We ain't doing that.
So I'm.
Anyway, I'm gonna say this before I go, because I'm monitored the way I'm monitored, because I want to talk about certain things, but I'm monitored.
I can't.
I would have liked to talk about the events that took place yesterday, but I can't. They don't allow me to talk about it because my spin, I guess, that I put on stuff is very disrupting. So for the sake of my channel and you know, my brand, I can't. But I would love to talk about. But you could follow me on X Twitter.
Um, and you see a lot of my opinions on stuff. I just can't verbally say it on this platform. But, yeah, you can follow me on Twitter, doggy diamonds on everything.
That's it. The beat maker show.
Y'all supposed to look. He come late on the king's disease from front to back. Is he gonna spell back with four a's? Like that make a difference? Like we supposed to read it. King disease.
You can't even spell disease. So anyway, just disregard that comment. King dyslexia front to back is classic. But he gonna spell back.
He just turned into a sheep out of nowhere. King doesn't wanna get in. Front to back is classy. Then they could turn into a goddamn sheep, and we supposed to respect it cause he wrote it like that. Can't spell disease, kingdom. Not even kings. King front to back is classic.
Oh, and magic three is most definite. And then you're going to spell most deaf.
Instead of you moving on and doubling down on some other nonsense, you should have went and fixed your first error cause you spelled King Ding.
Front to back is classic.
You turn into a sheep out of nowhere.
[01:12:18] Speaker B: Guess what?
I'm a motherfucking wolf and I eat sheep. No, Diddy.
