[00:00:03] Speaker A: Y what's happening, my black? Yo, what up, bro? Y' all stand for O.T. no, I'm trying to. Yeah. Nah. Get that bread, bro. Watch out, boss lady. Come here. Listen up, workers.

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome. Welcome, everyone, to another episode of Mandatory Overtime with your main man, DJ High Star. I am your host, DJ Highstar. Welcome to Mandatory Overtime. The aim at mandatory overtime is just to recalibrate how we define manhood, and we'll do that through conversation here. When I say we, I mean we as in community. So this is just a social experiment and consistency in an audio journal of an 80s, baby. Don't confuse this with the man is fair. It's just a place where the man is fair. So pull up a chair, like comment, subscribe and share. And make some noise, man, because your man is here. Come on, y'. [00:01:13] Speaker B: All. [00:01:13] Speaker A: I'm trying to get better at that a little bit. TT Trying to figure out the cadence, but I got a Russian sound engineer and a check one, two, A Czech one, two. Yes, sir. Let's go to work, y'. All. Always remember that. Y' all can send me an email. Mandatory ot704gmail.com Mandatory ot704gmail.com I hope everybody's doing well. I hope y' all are doing well. Wanted to start this week off on, like, a little a different note, if you will. Let's see here. So last couple weeks, last couple episodes have been real random at the beginning and kind of. I'll throw my random thoughts out there. Don't get it twisted. I still have the random thoughts. However, I did want to add in a. A segment at the beginning that we'll call like, building wisdom. So you're going to be building amongst the each other brothers. And so let's go ahead and start that off this week. [00:02:22] Speaker B: Come here, Prince. What's today's mathematics? Hey, yo, no disrespect, but we ain't in all of that, son. Build, destroy. [00:02:28] Speaker A: The build is to elevate the mentalities of self and those around self to add positive energy to every nation. To build, you must first start from the root, which is the knowledge foundation, and add on to the highest peak. To destroy is to eliminate and destroy any and all negativity that enters my cipher of supreme harmony. Peace, God. Peace, God. Come on, sir. All right, so this week's two pieces of wisdom that we going to build on, or I just at least want to play the Audio for y' all to give y' all something to think about and consider. The first one is going to come from a conversation that Mav Hoffa and Goods had on Math Hors podcast. My expert opinion. The. My expert opinion thing, that's a whole, you know, case study in itself, if you will, or meeting with HR in itself. But Math is back. Shout out to Perseverance. Salute to, you know, believing in yourself and doing your thing. He is back. One of his first guests, battle rapper Goods, came on with T Rex. Shout out to T. Rex and all his help. Recent health issues and stuff. But Goods was. Goods and Math were going through speaking on what has kept them separated for, you know, I don't know, several years. But yeah, they quote, unquote, squashed their beef, right? Their disagreement. In other words, they. They talk about it here. And this clip is very, very important, and I wanted to share it with y'. All. So let's. Let's go ahead and take a listen on this clip. [00:04:10] Speaker B: If. If something came out or somebody accused you or something, if I have any. [00:04:15] Speaker A: Type of questions on it, I'm not. [00:04:17] Speaker B: Gonna make it worse for you. One thing I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna put. Put it out there that there's a problem. I'm just not going to talk about it. I'm gonna be like, your next question. [00:04:24] Speaker A: One thing I learned. [00:04:25] Speaker B: One thing I learned. One thing I learned is, you know, I mean, one thing I learned is. [00:04:28] Speaker A: Don'T put on somebody else what you would do, man. You are two totally different people. [00:04:32] Speaker B: And I learned that I don't expect. [00:04:34] Speaker A: You to do what I would do. [00:04:35] Speaker B: Because if I do, then I would. [00:04:36] Speaker A: Get mad at you if you don't. So I answered the question the way Goods will answer the question. You just heard one part and you took it away. And when we spoke, I can understand why you took it away. Do I feel like I was wrong for the way I answered it? I still don't feel like I was wrong, but I can understand why you took it that way. My thing is me and you could have got to that sooner if we would have spoke. Hold up, hold up. He gonna get this work. We're gonna talk or we gon to talk. Yeah. Let's be men. First of all, I'm team Goods in that. In that conversation or that back and forth. And I agree 100% with goods, granted. I think there is a space for men to be vulnerable nowadays and express things that make them emote, you know, different feelings and stuff like that. What Makes you upset, what makes you mad, disappointed, and stuff like that. There is just a space where I don't think that we need to dwell on or there's a level of emotional intelligence to where. To what Goods just said. I can't expect whatever I would do for the next person to do in any situation. I'm just setting myself up for failure if I do that. So I think that was a awesome piece of wisdom, and I love to know your thoughts on it as well. Now, in that situation, Math Hoffa was upset with Goods because Goods had inter. Did an interview around the time Math Hoffa was going through some things and had some allegations against him, sexual assault allegations and things like that against him. And Good's statement essentially was. I'm paraphrasing, but essentially was, I don't. I know Math. I don't think that he would do anything like that, But I wouldn't put anything pat. I wouldn't put anything past anyone, something to that effect. And Math's feelings was hurt, and he was upset that Goods did not just stand firm and say, yo, there's no way possible that Math did this. And just because he didn't say it the way that you wanted him to say it, Math, you got upset and didn't speak to the man for several years. So, yeah, that was just. Just emotional. It was just. It's just emotional, brother. Okay. But everything that Good said right there is on point. You know, we can't expect others to do what we would do in certain situations. It's just a formula for failure. And you just setting yourself up to be disappointed and, you know, again, as you see to be hurt. Whenever somebody starts off any conversation with, you know, I thought or, you know, if it been me or had it been me, I just. I turn mute right away because I'm not with that conversation. That to me, it's a one sign of. Of not of lower emotional intelligence. I'll just say that. Of lower ei, if you will, is when people always lead with and go to defend their point by saying, yo, if I'm just saying if it was me in a situation or like, I'm built different or, you know, I'm just not everybody. I guess I'm just not every. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We all individuals for a reason. So salute to those brothers for even conversing, though, and having that conversation on air. Because there was a lot of jewels in there, a lot of wisdom and stuff like that. The next piece of wisdom that I do want to build on. This was a Conversation on Rap Latte. So King Green, I believe his name is. I told you I was going to get the name. But King Green and Torre on Rap Latte, they were discussing Young Thug. Young Thug's been having his press run, of course, because his album dropped. I haven't even covered it because I don't got time. I don't got energy to dissect the white man on the COVID And you want to be white and everything. Like, I don't got time for that. But anyways, they was having a discussion. It was talking about one of Young Thug's interviews. And in one or one of Young Thug's appearances, public appearances that he had, he mentioned that he's just talking about how anti therapy is and that if his girl. Why does his girl need to go and see a man to go and speak to another man about stuff? It was a very, like, antiquated way of thinking of therapy and stuff. I think that this. This portion of their conversation and Rap Latte, Torre kind of, he. He encapsulates or like he. He defines therapy or makes it, like, palatable, if you. If you needed a kind of like an elevator definition for it, if you will. So he kind of. He wraps it up and. And says that we're good, but it's just a bunch of good wisdom here. So let me stop rambling and let me go ahead and play this, y'. All. He's got a weird to me vision of what it is to be a man because. Or. Or he completely misunderstands what therapy is in a different way than we've been talking about, because he's therapy. You go and you deal with your feelings and your emotions. But he's saying if she's talking about her feelings and emotions to somebody else, then she's not letting me make decisions. Right? Like, that's the key to him. Like, I should be making decisions for her or with her in her life. Right. Really for her. Basically, the therapist is not, like, it's not a life coach who's making decisions for you. But, like, I think most of us understand that women generally are more emotionally intelligent than men. And men tend to turn to women for help processing and dealing with their emotions, to expect her to need to do that with him when he is not emotionally intelligent at all. He seems kind of. Kind of like a dictator on the low. Like, you tell your wife she can't go to therapy. I don't tell my wife she can't do anything. She can do whatever she wants to do. Like, yeah, if she came to me tonight and was like, yo, I need to go to Paris for three days starting tomorrow. I'd be like, okay, go ahead. Like, do what you need to do. I would never say no to you. You know, the question would be, how do we money for you to do what you feel you need to do? So this sort of notion of, like, you can't do that. Like, that's bizarre to me. But, like, him expecting him expecting himself to be emotionally aware and intelligent enough to be that confidant for her is crazy. No, you're not. You. You not think that. She doesn't speak to her friends and they have conversations about her emotions. All right, so I'm gonna go ahead and cut my brother Torre's wisdom there. He started kind of going a couple different places, but the. The crux of what he was saying and stuff like that still holds true, definitely. Like, the purpose for therapy is not what a lot of people kind of think it is on the surface. And, yeah, I think, you know, we. We need to open up to. To the idea itself. You know what I'm saying? So. Shout out to and brotherly love to my brothers at the rap latte, and also to Goods and Math Hoffa. And Math Hoffa is my expert opinion. Shout out to Goods for the sneakers that he just dropped. My brother Goods always has product, fearless in releasing his product. Not worried about what anyone says. He's just locked in, and he does his thing. So salute to and brotherly love to Goods and Math Hoffa. Like I said, he just got back on his good foot, y'. All. You know what I mean? Perseverance is a hell of a thing. My boy got his own barbershop. They got the name of the barber shop. Whenever they getting. You know, he getting busy. He's getting busy, you know, and so I will stick to the adulation and the, you know, bigging my brothers up. I won't. I won't get into the hate just yet, because I do have some. Well, why not? No time like the present. But I do have some random thoughts this week. Okay? So just as soon. As soon as I said that I don't want to hate nobody or whatever like that, I do open up my random thoughts and got some hate in here, so y' all stick with me on this. I only. It's only a couple. Well, no, there's several this week. Okay, it's only a couple. But first and foremost, before I. Before I get started, because this is a random note right here, I'm thinking about and don't want to make this completely morbid and sad, but rest in peace to the young lady that lost her life. And this past weekend at South Carolina State's homecoming event look like her name was like Julia Butler. But 19 year old young lady lost her life. Gun violence out there at the homecoming. Y' all be safe during homecoming season is. Is something that I'm contemplating strongly. As if I'm even entertaining a lot of homecoming activities this year after. After something like that. Because it is wild. We have to. We got to be better. Of course, man. And yeah, just rest. Rest in peace to that sister. That's definitely. So let me move forward with these random thoughts for this week. The first one, I hate that. Read out loud. All right, there it is. So what do I mean by that? I. I'm talking about with. If. If you are out and about with your peoples or. And first thing I want to say is the older folks get a pass, okay? Our elders, they get. They get amnesty. They get some grace with me with that. But if you are my age or younger and we driving somewhere and every advertisement and billboards, you crack a barrel. 4.5 mile south of the border. Next 41 miles. Chick fil a has honey Sriracha. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Keep it down over there, my boy. Okay? I. I don't know why you got the. Or, you know. Yeah, anything, anything you pull. You open up your phone and you got an article thing that you read into yourself. You know, I might ask, yo, man, what happened to so and so? Well, it says that and Cardi B Stefon Dick said that he want 2C. So what? They were like, come on, come on now. Come on now. Try to keep that all in your head. Now. The more and more I go over these random thoughts, the more petty that I realize that I am. And I personally need help. However, I need a safe space to get this hate off. So second second, random thought. I hate when a play his phone on speaker around you. All right, it's 2025, y'. All. It's 2025. Okay? We got airpods, we got headphones and everything like that. Right now in the public is a little bit different. I can kind of accept that. And, and you know, public domain and public area and stuff like that. You can't really do much about that. But when you in my car. [00:16:34] Speaker B: Hold on, hold on. He about to get this work. He about to get this work. [00:16:41] Speaker A: He gonna. When you in my car. Come on, y', all, let's just keep that down. Over there, right? You in the passenger side. Go ahead and throw in some, you know, throw your AirPods or something on and your headphones and stuff, because it's just. I might not want to be inviting whatever loud stuff that you're playing on your phone into my space, into my energy. It just seems like a violation of. Of space intrusion almost. Whenever somebody plays something unsolicited around you and you have to, you know, you're. You're subject to listening to it. So that's all I'm saying. That's the. There's a second piece of hate this week as random thoughts. Another random thought real quick. Why can't black people take the tags and the plastic off of new shit? I don't know why the. We got a problem with keeping tags and stuff on things, y'. All. This is a conversation that we have within the community, okay? This don't really leave the community, so y' all don't get cute making jokes and make it leave the community. But why can we not take the plastic off? Okay, Shout out to my grandmother. I love her, okay? But my grandmother might still have a remote control up there in Queens with the plastic on it from cable tv from Time Warner, this one. Time Warner, when it was called Time Warner, not Spectrum. She might still have that wrapper on there, right? My mother, you know, new TVs, we shouldn't have to see energy guides or nothing like that on a refrigerator. Okay? Yeah. Y' all know what I mean, though. Again, y' all can give me your feedback. Mandatory ot704gmail.com Mandatoryot704gmail.com with any of your feedback. With that here, a couple last random thoughts before we get into the Chance album. Let's see here. So these are just a couple of signs that you're aging that I wanted to go through real quick. All right, so signs that you're aging, drinking liquor straight. Right? It was time. Younger Jack. Jack and Coca Cola. You know Hennessy? I do Hennessy and ginger ale or Hennessy and ginger beer, more specifically, whenever I got older, you know, Hennessy with tomato juice. Shout out to Nori, orange juice and vodka, your tequila sunrises. You know, all of those things come to a cease after a while. Okay, me, I chase all my liquor with bad decisions that I've made in the past and heartbreak. It just goes down a lot smoother that way. But that is one sign that you're getting older. Another sign is drinking black coffee straight, which I've recently begun to do. It's not Too bad, y'. All. You know, again, you think about your bills and stuff that you got. You think about money issues or anything like that, if you have them. And as you sipping that black coffee, you don't even realize there's no sugar or no kind of creamer in this. And then after you drink them first couple cups of black coffee, there's no turning back. Like, you're not gonna. You're not gonna sauce your coffee up too much more after that. I mean, at least that's what I've experienced as a man, right? Shout out to mandatory overtime. Let's see here. When you paying your insurance on time, okay, Whether that be auto insurance or you really paying some health insurance out of your job and stuff. That's some grown. That's some. That's some grown. That's some adult A paying into a FSA understanding what a flexible spending account versus a health savings account or spending account is, right? So those are definitely signs of aging. Come on, y', all, let's continue. Certain foods that were nasty as a kid, you end up giving a shot to. Come on, y'. All. Come on. Let me work. [00:21:20] Speaker B: Please, let me work. [00:21:22] Speaker A: So I'm talking about Brussels sprouts. I'm talking about. And. Cause we able to cook them the way that we want to now, right? Or we might learn a little bit extra about it. Asparagus. And I was able to, you know. You can eat that now. I can speak for myself. Runny eggs. Okay. Medium steaks. All right. Which brings me to my last signature agent. You learn how to eat a steak properly. All right. All that well done beef jerky. Get that? Yeah, I keep that shit up the road at, I don't know, Outback or something like that. Let me go to Longhorn. Give me. Give me right with the medium. Okay. We might do the cowboy ribeye, the outlaw ribeye or whatnot at New York Strip. But get me right with the medium. I've seen what y'. All. I've seen what the steak lovers have loved for so long. But you know why I was like. I was blinded because the way that we grew up, it's like, oh, nah, you need that well done. You need to be chewing on your steak for a couple of days, my brother. Right? No, no, you don't. No, you don't. That thing's supposed to slice like butter, you heard? So, again, these are some of my random thoughts for the week. I just wanted to go through with y'. All. Also some signs that were aging, signs that you're getting Older. Might have to add a little AI Jeff Foxworthy to that or something. You know, you're getting old when. You know, for my Jeff Fox worthy fans, I kind of dated myself on that. All right, but we're gonna move forward into the second part of our Chance the Rapper Starline album review. I listened back, of course, to the other album review, the first part that we did, and I must admit, I was wordy, of course, Just dry diarrhea of the mouth. But it's because I was mad excited, first of all. But so. But no, no, no, I'm not. I take that back. I take that back. But it's not because I won't never do that to my audience. But I was mad excited, all right. And then I just didn't know which way to attack that. So today I will try to be more concise with the tracks. I encourage you all to listen to it. It is streaming on or platforms, but [email protected]. i want to say his website is. He has the album available and has different bundles available with the merch as well. So show our brother Chance some love, all right. It don't cost nothing, though. It's show love, show love, show love. They don't show nothing. It don't cost nothing. [00:24:12] Speaker B: Niggas who loves. [00:24:14] Speaker A: Get my boy some sales or whatnot. I am contemplating strongly out there, family, if I'm gonna be going to D.C. for his show in D.C. it's tomorrow. Gotta make a business decision. So we shall find out the next time that I'm. That I am recording, y' all will know if I win or not. So let's get into where we left off. Where we left off was Drapetomania. All right, that track featuring Baby Chief. Do it. So the next track is Back to the Go. I'm gonna try this new, like, sped up type of format with this. Y' all stay with me, though. Back to the Go. The title is referring or alluding to Chicago. All right, the track itself, this. So again, we left off on Drapetomania with the last review, and that track is track number five, right? It's again, it's. What do you say, a misdiagnosis of black people and calling us crazy. Just because you misunderstand what's going on, right? It's a misdiagnosis. Let's leave it at that. We enter in Back to the Go, and when you listen to it, the whole theme is Chance coming back home, whether it's to his family's house, his parents house, or whatnot. But you can tell throughout his verse and it's. And the song that he is back at a point of recalibration, at a point of reflection, and, like, he has to reset almost. My conjecture that I'm entering. He had just went through it with his old lady and they split up. And he's just starting to navigate being by itself again after being with his family for so long and them being a unit, moving as a unit for so long. So that's. That's my conjecture on, like, kind of the purpose behind the track. And if you look at it with that backdrop of, like, you know, single, like, separated or divorced, you know, guy going back to where it all started, in other words. Right? So I'm gonna just play some of it, and then I'm gonna go through some high star bars, which are as well. [00:26:57] Speaker B: Not like a mortgage, but more like a foster home. Supposed to be two parents but now I'm across the globe and screaming across the phone A dog that just lost his bone I'm back at the bachelor pad Chicken scratch on the pad I got a fix for an itch and I be scratching it bad in the kitchen flipping the script like a spatula ad Was packing my bags Once I unpack I'm back in my bag Square one, ground zero, the homeless hometown hero I was transient only in a family sense and in the past tense maybe I was absent I stopped doing acid But I've been keeping tabs since the London host went acid said that they love my accent no, I'm not demanding, baby I was your accent Now I'm in Iraq I used to be called a Saxon not because they taxing, baby. [00:27:38] Speaker A: It was an accident all right, so shout out to Chance. Shout out to Vic Mensa also who's featured on the track. I wanted to go through some high star bars on this because Chance did black on on there. So I gave y' all the backdrop of what was going on right now, the verse. He comes in, I made a mistake I lost a home but not like a mortgage, More like a foster home. Supposed to be two parents, but now I'm across the globe and screaming across the phone the dog that just lost his bone I'm back at the bachelor pad Chicken scratch on the paddle I got a fix for an itch and I'd be scratching it bad in the kitchen flipping the script like a spatula ad Was packing my bags Once I unpack them back in my bag Square one, ground zero, the homeless hometown hero Let me slow down some cuz this. Yo. Like that, like that. How can you. How can you hear this and say that? This is not bars, man. Get in the booth, do the Knowledge. I gotta get that as a sound effect. Definitely. My boy Frederick Starr. Do the Knowledge, nigga. But alright, so again, I made a mistake. I lost a home. He's being vulnerable, opening up. Not like a mortgage, more like a foster home. Supposed to be two parents, but now I'm across the globe. So it is just showing now. He opening up like, yo, now I'm talking about family life here screaming across the phone. The dog that just lost his bone. This whole rhyme scheme that he about to get into, though, is crazy because I know as a rapper, once you start getting into little pockets like this, oh, man, nobody can tell you nothing. But let's. I'm back at the bachelor pad Chicken scratch on the pad, I gotta fix for an itch and I'll be scratching it bad in the kitchen flipping the script like a spatula ad Was packing my bags Once I unpack, I'm back in my bag. Come on, y'. [00:29:30] Speaker B: All. [00:29:30] Speaker A: That's calm. Super calm right there. Super calm. High star bars. So this whole. This, this next, like, bar. Honestly, this is some of my favorite part of the song right here. He says, square one, ground zero. The homeless hometown hero. So you think about a hometown hero. You think they got everything, Think they got it all. Shout out to, you know, the mayor of the city or whatever. And they. They running stuff. But the homeless hometown hero is such, like, a phenomenal line or whatnot. It's got a lot of depth to it. I was transient only in the family sense. Okay. I look up transient. I had to. Okay, but in the past tense. Maybe I was at. Because I like this part right here. I didn't want to dwell on. On the previous line, but in. In the past tense. Maybe I was absent. I stop. I stopped doing acid but I've been keeping tab since hard. Hard bar right there. I stopped doing acid but I've been keeping tab since them London hoes with asses say that they love my accent no, I'm not demanding, baby I was just asking that part is so hard to me, y'. All. Excuse me. Pause. First of the week might be. Might be second but take a look at this. He said I stopped doing acid but I've been keeping tabs since them London hoes with acid said that they love my accent no, I'm not demanding, baby. I was just asking. So just on. That part is subtle, but you can. The listener's ear can hear. No, I'm not demanding, baby. I was just asking. Like, I'm not demanding anything. I was just asking. Or the listener can hear because he just said them London hoes with asses said that they love my accent. So you can hear. No, I'm not the mandam, baby. I was just asking. I'm not the man dumb. I was just like, you can hear that. But I don't know if he even meant to do that or if that was on purpose or not. But that is some quality high star bars right there, y'. All. Salute to my wife right there. All right, I want y' all to hear some of Vince's. I want y' all to hear some Events's verse on there. See here. Hold on real quick. Let's see where we at with it. [00:32:08] Speaker B: Back on the canvas just to see what it feel like. Pull counter stiff, right? No time. [00:32:13] Speaker A: This part is mom's garage. Back on my feet it's a Thai massage that's hard. High star bars right there. But so when he said back on my feet, it's something that rappers do a lot, you know, whichever direction. So what a rapper do is like a Thai massage is really feet on the back, you know. And he said back on my feet like a Thai massage. So. But he still fitted in there and it's dope. Like as far as the bars and stuff like that still made the. Made the point. Awesome. High star bars or whatever like that. So back on my feet like a Thai massage That's. That's tough. All right. I do want to go through Vic Menz's verse just real quick because he didn't take off no bars either. He was hostile. Bars all the way through. Just want to show him some love all right. [00:33:32] Speaker B: Grown acting child is chasing the red bone I thought there wasn't no biggie when dead wrong now you picking up the crumbs Once I let the bread gone Back at home with a mors and folks etched in stone Gang banging. [00:33:44] Speaker A: Till teeth touch down like Kelce Playing. [00:33:48] Speaker B: With heavy metal like a Black Sabbath LP and ain't no taxes on the wealthy I've been eating vegetables more broccoli, celery but therapy says my relationship is not as healthy Then we moved out that little apartment I'm on Bel Air but we living in my parents house like willing Carlton still be arguing about some old I'm sick of it I put you with Chanel but you still tripping off ridiculousness Moved you to the west coast it ain't about the Money though. [00:34:11] Speaker A: Cause even Jeff Bezos wife got up. [00:34:14] Speaker B: And left yo I can't flex though I'm a level with you like Dex yo my communication abysmal like it was pep though blame it on the Internet techno like the pesto Stow your heart. [00:34:23] Speaker A: Like a Vic really did his thing on there too. So his high star bars all the way through. But let's go through a couple of them. The beginning he said I was headstrong till I woke up and all the meds gone we was grown acting childish chasing the red bone Salute to Childish Gambino. I don't know if he meant to do that with the bar. I'm assuming that he did, you know. So we was grown acting childish chasing the red bone See I thought there wasn't no biggie when dead wrong like you was picking up the crumbs once all of the bread gone all right so then the nigga said excuse me. Then my brother said gang banging till the chief touched down like Pat Mahomes trapping, trapping Travis Kelsey playing with heavy metal like a Black Sabbath LP Ain't no taxes on the wealthy that's hard. High star bars right there. I've been eating vegetables, more broccoli, celery Then we moved down he said kind of painting a picture Then we moved out that little apartment how I'm on Bel Air but we living in my parents house like willing Carlton still be arguing about some old. I'm just sick of it I put you in Chanel but you tripping off ridiculousness moved you to the west coast it ain't about the money cuz even Jeff Beso's wife got up and left Yo I can't flex yo I'mma level with you like Dex yo, let's stop it right there real quick. High star bars shout out to Vic Mensa. [00:36:07] Speaker B: There we go. [00:36:08] Speaker A: But also he, he did something real subtle right there. And throughout time, rappers will do this. But we like to show the producer, the dj, whoever it is, that you know what I mean? Your crew and your crew, you're going to show them love. So right there he said, I'm a level with you like Dex, yo, the producer on most of these tracks for Chance. One of his in house producers, if you will. His name is Dex Level. So shout out to Victor, showing him love, right? Go to the notes that I got about, about the track. Let's see here. But so again, that was back to the go. Tough gets his old Chicago brethren Vic to get on the track with him. They both remind y' all of what time it is with some of these Chicago spitters and how busy they get on the mic. Right. Let's see here. So again, Lincoln with Vince. The advantage of it again is getting home after, like, globetrotting or perhaps losing yourself in the fame and all of the adulation and stuff and all of the ups and downs, ebbs and flows of which is foreshadowing the next track. But all of the ups and downs of the industry and the success and not so much perceived success of what coloring book and the big day and the things that he's had to deal with. So it's like he's kind of going back home to reset after that. It's like a reset or recalibration of life post breakup. And again, my favorite line from that or one of the favorite lines. The homeless hometown hero. I was transient. So that's a person who's staying or working in a place for only a short. Like, a short period of time. So salute to chance for that track. Let's go ahead and move forward. Like I said, I was foreshadowing with the next track. It's called when you. When you're talking about Back to the Go, you're returning back home after experiencing the ebbs and flows of life. You starting to learn that life is not all about the. Life is not all about the highs, and it's not all about the lows. Right? It's about the highs and the lows. So that's the title of the next track. Let's play a little bit of that. I'm gonna play a little bit of his first verse, and I might give y' all a little bit of Joey Badasses. But let's. Let's go through this here. Let's talk. Let me see here. Little soulful, like, sample to that husband. [00:38:49] Speaker B: The lows. I'm an emotional roller coaster Nova Scotia Some days I hold a grudge Some days I holy ghoster Some days I just ghost Some days I'm supposed to the crib feel like a gunfight but them strollers, that's the holster we can make amends over old memes and mimosas My mama know I ain't make my bed But I'm a lay in it Whether it's sandpaper, suede, linen Whether I'm alone or Creole lady Mama laid in it the same pajamas I was afraid in I boogey man slay my blankets conceal my blade in it Emotional seesaw with two fat motherfuckers with strong knees in free fall it's cloudy with a chance of meatballs. I checked the weather, I gave all my vices a call. Let's get together to talk about the. [00:39:47] Speaker A: Highs and lows and downs. You always come around, come around, come around, come around, come around. The highs and lows, the ups and downs. So that's the highs and lows hook right there. Now, again, we're gonna go through these bars real quick. So mind you, the track itself was released 2022. June 17, 2022. We had just post Covid, or trying to get through Covid at the time. We were just starting to get a little bit back outside, but we were adjusting to this new life of ours. Post coronavirus, if you will, Right? So he that. I just wanted to put that out there. The song had been released since 2022, but some of the high high star bars on now. Emotional roller coaster. We're high so high I could put Bobo on a poster. Everybody knows Bobo, who Bobo is. That's some great, you know, imagery. What? Not dunking on Bobo, but when the bread get low, like four loaves in a toaster. So. And I think, again, this is rapper's privilege to be able to do this, but I think he means four slices of bread, but you had to. You gotta rhyme that. So four loaves in a toaster, Otis. Oh, the shoulders can get cold. There's 10 toes in Nova Scotia. Some days I hold a grudge, Some days I holy ghoster. Some days I just ghost her. Some days I'm supposed to. The crib feel like a gunfight. But them strollers, that's the holster. Come on, man. High star bars right there. Shout out to my performance with that, too, now. So the 10 toes in Nova Scotia reminds me of, like, Big Boy, his line, you know, cool it in the polar bears toenails. Oh, well, because it just paints you that picture. But the. The crib feel like a gunfight. But them strollers, that's the holster. Chance was on Joe Budden whenever he was doing his press run. And he confirmed on that line itself, look that. Look, it can go down at the house, like. And you're going through your arguments with your lady and stuff like that. But the. The strollers, that's the holster. All right? So that's what keeps everything from going down and getting real destructive and stuff like that is them kids, them babies, right? He said we can make amends over old memes and mimosas. So if anybody, you know, you're in a relationship out there or you have, like, disagreements with your. With Your person. And, you know, there's always that little awkward phase whenever you gotta. Somebody gotta apologize or we just, like, we not fighting no more. Okay? Like, we can make amends over old means and old memes and mimosas, you know, Send somebody something on IG and you know what I mean, act like nothing happened or like y' all wasn't arguing the day before or whatever like that. Or so, you know, there's. There's certain things that you could do or that I think about whenever I hear that line. But now, from Chance's own words, this is one of his favorite, like, parts of the verse, if you will. My mama know I ain't made my bed, but I' ma lay in it whether it's sandpaper, suede, linen, whether I'm alone or Creole lady marmalade in it the same pajamas, I'm the same pajamas I was afraid in. A boogeyman slayed my blankets, concealed my blade in it. Emotional seesaw. So he's saying, my mama know I ain't make my bed, but I' ma lay in it. And you're gonna lay in it by yourself. Cold, no, you know, drunk, hungover, you can lay in it all, you know, there's plenty. Listen, I'm a lay in it, whether it's sandpaper, suede, linen, whether I'm alone or a Creole lady. Mama laid in it. The same pajamas. I was afraid. A boogeyman slayed my blankets, concealed my blade in it, you know, so he's. He's letting you know, look, and not to mention the figurative meaning of the term, right, you made your bed, you better lay in it. And that's something that your parents always tell you, your mom always tell you. So. Oh, you made your bed, you better lay in it. So shout out to Chance with that again. High Star bars right there. It's cloudy with a chance of meatballs. I checked the weather, I gave all my vices a call. Let's get together to talk about the highs and lows, the ups and downs. Now out. Let's get real. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's see here. Because you want to talk and get real. So my boy, my brother, Joey Badass, Joey Bodman, he had a great summer. It was, you know, a year, a real hell of a year, really, as far as putting his name back out there in the rap sphere for everybody to take him seriously with his music. And then he handled a lot of people whenever it came to doing this thing on the battle. Battle tracks and stuff like that rap verses so salute to him. Now, keeping in mind that this dropped in 2022 and with what kind of music Joey was dropping around that time. Devastated Drop, that was one of his bigger tracks around then. And. And I just think about kind of his headspace. Doing a lot of acting, wasn't doing too much music. But the verse itself is. Not that it's underwhelming or anything. The performance of the verse underwhelmed me. Like, is. It's like I listen back to this podcast and I listen to the episodes and stuff, and I'm like, oh, man, there's pockets where my voice sounds super monotone, like, drum, are you even into this? Or DJ High Star, are you even into this? Or whatever. So with the verse itself, it's cool. It's a man that's mastered himself, if you will. So he has. This one is not animated, like how his summertime verses have been with some of his diss tracks that he dropped. But. And I think that may contribute. I don't. I don't know. But I just want y' all to hear what I'm talking about. [00:46:15] Speaker B: Now. The feeling that I feel is priceless and the spirit want me to be righteous But I know I might just relapse Sucked in these devices got so used to feedback I couldn't tell what mine is Sometimes all the outside noise just really blinds us Beware believe none of what you see and half of what you hear the best things in life on the opposite side of fear I swear I see it clear like after the storm still you can't stop the rain like the loose end song my word is gone like James yo, I couldn't complain. Cause even when I did really couldn't feel my pain. [00:46:47] Speaker A: So, yeah, again, Joey did his thing on the verse, but to me, the performance itself, it was. It was like streamlined. It was. It was whelming. It wasn't under or over, it was just whelming. Which is cool. Though I got too much love for Joey Badass to write him off or write this off and try to play him or whatnot. So it still had High Star bars in there. Of course. Let's go through a couple of. A lot of these is just. Just elevated high vibration bars, though. Not a feeling that I feel is priceless in the spirit want me to be righteous But I know if I might just relapse get sucked into these devices got so used to feedback I couldn't tell what mines is. So sometimes all the outside noise just really blinds like he was really talking and again, I think about the time that this was. That this dropped in 2022. He's like, me performance is not the number one thing on my mind. Maybe it's just me getting these words out to the people, you know, and saying them as clear as possible and stuff, right? So he's like, beware facts. Believe none of what you see and half of what you hear the best things in life are on the opposite side of fear I swear I see it clear like after the storm still you can't stop the rain Like a loose end song. So that whole part, some high star bars right there. Shout out to Joey with those high star bars. But really the. That word, that bar, that line. The best things in life on the opposite side of fair I swear I could see it clear like after the storm still you can't stop the rain like the loose end song. That's hard right there. That's. And it's very accurate too. The best things in life are on the opposite side of fear so shout out to Joey for that. At the end of the song, there is a pocket where they kind of just chat and they. You could tell they was in the studio together and they just talking like old school hip hop. Let's see here. Try to hear. Yes. So, yeah, I just wanted to play that part, actually, so. But yeah, so again, the highs and the lows, talking about the ebbs and flows and stuff like that of life. You got to think about it, you know, a brother like Chance has been winning for a while and we don't, you know, see the wins and the losses in public. So it was a great song to just. To kind of capture both of those. This next song is one of my favorites on the track, no doubt about it. When I first listened to the album and I looked. Opened up my Apple music and stuff and looked on the track list, this was the only one without an E next to it for explicit. So I jumped to this track. It's similar to the track Glory on JID's new album. There was no E next to it. So I'm like as a DJ in my mind, I'm like, let me see what this is about. I could go ahead and I can play this. So let me see. You know what I mean? What's going on with this or whatnot, bro. I played this song Space and Time and it is one of the most phenomenal songs that I've heard in my life as far as, like the writing and stuff. It's not. I wouldn't. I wouldn't consider it a rap song. Rap song. It's not. It's not that. But it's art. It's art. That's the only way that I could describe it. Let me just get into it a little bit here. This might not be everybody's vibe right now because it's a little bit slower groove, and it's more like a song that's written. This is a song, a written song, right? Like this feels like that Wiz Khalifa is in a long day. It reminds me of them type of. It's a big, big record like that. Matter of fact, hold on. Let me make sure that before we get into space and time, that I went over all of the situations with all of my notes with highs and lows. So, yeah, it talks about the ups and downs, ebbs and flows of life. The stroller, that's the host. It was one of my high star bars that I loved. And again, it was interest, introspection, or it was very introspective on his relationship in Space and time does the same thing if you. If you. You know, if you listen to it. And we're not going to play the whole thing again. Y' all make sure that y' all stream this on any of your streaming sites or go to getchancetuff.com and y' all can support the brother and purchase the album. But let's listen to this real quick. [00:51:52] Speaker B: I grew tall overnight I woke up one day A man walked back by the crib where we would one day raise a fam I've been around the world Done all the things I can I'm a giant now I can't wait till you see how big I am Space and time go wherever you, you follow can't waste your tomorrows this mission Apollo since this time is borrow I'll be back tomorrow Just look to the stars if you ever feel your heart broke Ship break down an aisle About a mile outside the moon I went to war some emperor Jones I took. [00:52:45] Speaker A: Yeah. So, so very, very different vibe switch of the heavy, heavy bars. Y' all get this real hip hop. Hip hop, word life. Word life, Hip hop, boom bap. And we switch it up to this song right here. Keep in mind, you're just coming off of Back to the Go and the highs and the lows. So he's starting to talk about family life and where he's at on the family vibe of things. So the verse again, before you get to the chorus on that first verse is a shorter verse, but it goes. I grew tall Overnight I woke up one day A man walked back by the crib where we would one day raise a famous I'd been around the world Done all the things I can I'm a giant now I can't wait till you see how big I am Space and time, that's when the hook come in Space and time go wherever you follow can't waste your tomorrows this mission Apollo. Come on, man. Come on. Give it up for the voice. But since this time is borrowed I'll be back tomorrow Just look to the stars if you ever feel your heart broke just. Man, great writing right there. Great writing. Starts off the verse 2. Shipwrecked on an island About a mile outside the moon I went to war some Emperor Jones I took the throne on distant shores I grew up fast I bumped my head I hit the door I jumped the porch I upped the score My sweet Penelope, that's for sure so mind y', all, we on the star line this is like after. Back to the go after the upset, the highs and the lows. And then you just get the beginning of that first, that second verse. Shipwrecked on. Now about a mile outside the moon I went to war I. I don't watch enough movies to even pull any kind of references from that. But I'm just saying, like, we on this ride. Would you chance on Starline and then boom, boom, boom. Like, you know what I mean? This is. Feels like we are. We've taken off. Like, we've got. We got a lot of miles or knots behind us. In other words, we are well at sea at this point. So that's. That's how I took that again. The song itself, I just allow myself to. To kind of, you know, live with the song or let the song vibe out on its own. I want to play a little bit more of it because there's this part toward the end, it sound like. Sound like Charlie Wilson or something, like helping him out on the bridge and all of that. Let's see that. Proud still some space for me I was hoping I could fit but you. [00:55:53] Speaker B: Should see how big she is Whether or not you call home don't waste your sorrows we'll be in Chicago no, this time is borrow don't waste my tomorrow Go back to. To the stars that was always where your heart was but what if I change my ways? Would you be. [00:56:41] Speaker A: So that part of the song I'mma. Like I said, I'll be honest with y' all I'm vulnerable. This was the second time on the Album where I shed a tear or whatnot. Just put myself in his situation, in his shoes for a second, right? Empathize with the brother about everything that he's going through. And while I'm listening to the lyrics, I'm just like, oh, man, this is a guy that wants his family back. Let's see here. So again, on the bridge. But what if I changed my ways? Would you be less afraid? Was lost but I found my way I needed the space to grow if you love me, set me free Love me, love me, love me I just needed the space to grow if you love me, set me free. Right. Track is called Space and Time. Now, I know how valuable time is. We don't get that back. So on the third verse, he said, on my face are battle scars that surely scare a child I've been gone. Oh, now listen, in the whole motif. I said motif a lot of times last episode. But the whole motif of this being a ship and a ship ride that we're taking and stuff like that. And we may. And we may in. In like, encounter battle and stuff like that and have to endure hardships as good soldiers for the Lord. All my Bible people, y' all know what I'm talking about. And the BR know, too. But anyways, so look at it from that vantage point. On my face are battle scars that surely scare a child I've been gone a while and I'm not so proud if there's still some space for me I was hoping I could fit you said it's too late for that but you should see how big she is. Cause space and time go Whether or not you call home don't waste your sorrows we'll be in Chicago. Notice time is borrowed don't waste my tomorrows Go back to them stars that was always where your heart was. Come on, y'. All. What if I changed my ways? Would you be less afraid? Was lost but I found my way I just needed the space to grow if you love me, set me free. Man, that is tough. That's tough. I think everybody. A lot of people listening you. You know, you're going through heartbreak. And this heartbreak is a beautiful thing that's ugly in the moment because it kills off something and it. It leaves you space or room to grow into something new and. And discover a new. A new facet of yourself, a new piece. You know what I mean? So, yeah, man. Salute to Chance. That, again, is one of my favorite tracks on the album Space and Time. Ladies and gentlemen, this next track continues kind of on that Energy level, I believe this was another emotional song for me, but it's called Link Me in the Future. I'm gonna give y' all a little bit of this and then we'll talk about it as well. But let's see here. Let's see. So before we do that again, space and time, a couple notes from that. The song, it displays his pen, right? He's talking about family and stuff like that. You can hear the contrition in his voice. It's no curse words. It's not an explicit song at all. And also, it, to me, it enca. It. And it captures the fragility of relationships, or it shows us the fragility of relationships that we need to. The importance of value in relationships with people while they're here with us and not when they escape through space and time. But yeah, very, very emotional track for your boy. Let's go ahead and go to Link Me in the Future here. [01:01:06] Speaker B: Or whatever. I'm sure I'll be right here waiting on forever. Link me in the future or whatever. I'm sure I'll be right here just waitin. Streets is crying bloody murder some somebody no one heard of the gall, the audacity, the nerve of someone just to turn up missing Just to stir up all this commotion set in motion like you shot the shura, you know this town is like the dog pound this shit is curra they can't get off they hide for us cause they lost the stirrups the interest always died down from when you first start team but if you really looking we could start a search party Go get the cake go hit the lights up make a surprise if you looking for love then we gonna find that bitch by sunrise and if you tell me hey I won't be late I'm not like some guys just send the Dave to say I mean damn way I get so tongue tied but please don't have me out here looking for you on no poster you know your ass be missing I just miss you like I'm supposed to Our memories still haunt me My homies told me to ghost you but every time I see you it made me just wanna hold you closer. [01:02:25] Speaker A: All right. Oh whatever. I'll be my hair. So on Link me in the future boom. I listen, I just. I just took the lyrical ride with him, but I really don't. Can't just tell y' all definitively who he's talking about in that first verse, right? But streets is crying bloody murder somebody no one heard of the gall, the audacity the nerve of someone. And it's going to make me get emotional on. On Mike as be Easy says, but the situation just happened in Orangeburg, y'. All. Come on, man. Come on, man. So let. Let's just. Let's read this verse with that in mind. Rest in peace to that sister once again, y'. All. Butler, I gotta see. Hold on, y'. [01:03:21] Speaker B: All. [01:03:21] Speaker A: Because now it's messing with me a little bit, y'. All. All right. Yeah. Rest in peace to Julia Butler. Streets is crying bloody murder. Somebody no one heard of the. God, the audacity, the nerve of someone just to turn up missing. Just to stir up all this commotion set in motion like you shot the sheriff. You know this town, you know this town is like the Dog Pound. This is corrupt. High Star bars right there. They can't get off they high horse because they lost the stirrups. Calm. You just gotta stay with that rhyme scheme. So that was calm. The interest always died down from when we first started. But if you really looking, we could start a search party. Go get the cake, go hit the lights, let's make a surprise. If you looking for love then we gonna find that by sunrise. Listen, I hope one day. Let me not say I hope one day. Whenever I speak with Chance, I will ask him more about this first verse. Lyrically though, dribbling right. So look, he said, but if you really looking, we could start a search party. Go get the cake, go hit the lights let's make a surprise. If you looking for love then we gonna find that by sunrise. And if you tell me eight, I won't be late. I'm not like some guys, just send a date to save. I mean, damn. Wait. I get so tongue tied. Instead of a save the date. If you see him perform that live, that verse, that's a very underrated little pocket right there. Everything after. Because he listen when he say, you know, this town is like the dog Pound. This is Cover Up. You got my attention right there, sir. Hello. Hello. Let me work. [01:05:11] Speaker B: Please let me work. [01:05:12] Speaker A: You got my attention. Okay. You know this town is like the Dog Pound. This is Cover Up. They can't get off they high horse cuz they lost the stubborn. Hold on now. Hold on. Let me work. [01:05:24] Speaker B: Please let me work. [01:05:25] Speaker A: Let me work. [01:05:27] Speaker B: Please let me work. [01:05:28] Speaker A: Okay. Let me work. And then. And then when he started dribbling. If you're looking for love, then we're gonna find that by sunrise. And if you tell me eight, I won't be late. I'm not like some guys. Just send that Date to save. I mean, damn. Wait. I get so tongue tied. So again, I. The. The verse itself is hard, but I really can't give y' all a definitive answer of, yo, he's talking about this situation or that or this person or that person. But back to the hook. Little distorted auto tune type of hook gives you. Like. The song is called Link Me in the Future. So the first time I ever heard it, that's what I'm thinking about is the future stuff. Right? All right, y', all, let's get. I gotta get through this because this is my track right here. This one of my tracks. Okay, I want y' all to hear this bridge and then it goes into the second verse up. [01:06:37] Speaker B: Got tired of looking back Got tired of looking back Got sore from looking back Got tired of looking back Got tired and took a nap Got tired of looking back Got pride I took it back Got tired of looking back we keep our pictures, the obituary's programs from funerals like Ms. Brown had em stacked up on her old grand piano in that living room where once upon a slow dance her husband kissed her tears his portrait sings a silent slow jam no honorary. When you have to bury old friends My heart was heavy had to carry him with both hands Young and scary we was wary of the romance the. [01:07:16] Speaker A: World'S on fire Girl, you marrying a. [01:07:18] Speaker B: Snowman I heard grief is love in. [01:07:21] Speaker A: A thunderstorm and death is really nothing different from the norm Everybody at the end get what's coming for him either God got some loving or oven for. [01:07:32] Speaker B: Him so if we isn't on the same flight on the same night I'mma wait, sit around and hang tight until the day we become the same height. [01:07:52] Speaker A: Yeah, that was one of them right there, y'. All. That was one of them right there, y'. [01:07:55] Speaker B: All. [01:07:56] Speaker A: So speed a little vulnerable with y'. All. I was very rough. August and July for me. So when this album dropped. Hold on real quick. So when this album dropped, I had recently lost my grandmother on my dad's side. Shout out to Mommy, Ms. 18, Grandma Evelyn. And I lost a partner of mine, a frat brother of mine, unexpectedly as well. It was a situation where I was a pallbearer like twice in two weeks. Very odd Saturday, Paul Baron. And like the next Saturday, I was a Paul Bear. It was. It's very odd, man. Strange, eerie, whatever, morbid. But, you know, God moves in mysterious ways. So I was just listening to the album, going through it still, because it just, you know, Ed just dropped. And I was listening to this song for the first time. Link me in the future. I had just either left my man Keith Ledger, my boy Keith Wirtz, man, my frat brother. I just left his service and was playing that song, I'm gonna go through the high star bars. But, yeah, it was just. The song is gonna be with me for life because the time period that I received the song in and how relevant it was at that time to me. So definitely rest in peace to my grandmother, Evelyn Jones, and then rest in peace to my. My brother, Keith Wirtz. Definitely looking to keep y' all memory alive. And one of the reasons that I pushed through to record and get these podcasts out is me, Keith, and myself, along with our homegirl Danitria, we used to do a podcast called for the Record. And so when Keith passed, I just, you know, that was the last nudge that I needed to go ahead and get this stuff out by any means possible. Stop waiting, stop sitting around and. And just talking about what I'm gonna do and go ahead and do it. So salute to them. But, yeah, let's go through some of these high star bars in the second verse or whatnot. We keep our pictures, the obituaries programs from funerals like Ms. Brown had them stacked up on her old grand piano in that living room where once upon a slow dance, her husband kissed her tears. His portrait sings a His portrait sings a silent slow jam. So just the consonants and all of that. Y' all see how I was tongue tied with. With all of that? But we keep our pictures, the obituaries programs from funerals, like Ms. Brown had them stacked up on her old grand piano in that living room with once upon a slow dance. That's just hard to me. Like, we think about these rhyme schemes. We keep our pictures, the obituary's programs from funerals like Ms. Brown had stacked up on her old grand piano in that living room where we. Once upon a slow dance. Where once upon a slow dance, her husband kissed her tears. His portrait sings a silent slow jam. No honorary. When you have to bury old friends. My heart was heavy had to carry him with both hands. Young and scary, we was wary of the romance. The world's on fire, Girl, you marrying a snowman? Come on and come on, y' all so many. Look, y' all take out. This is my conjecture from this. This is my conjecture from this. The world's on fire so you marrying a snowman. I got a ice box where my heart used to be. You heard, like, if I. If you go through enough heartbreak and enough up. Y' all then you come on, you. You tend to get a little cold. So he said, I heard grief is love in a thunderstorm. Death is really nothing different from the norm. And everybody in the ingot was coming for him. Either God got some loving or oven for him. So take a second real quick, y'. [01:12:01] Speaker B: All. [01:12:12] Speaker A: All right. I knew it was going to get tough for me on that one. But it just shows y' all this real real. So the project mean a whole lot to me. That track itself again. Auto tune hook the message on it second versus crack. So that, that's where we get that. We're going to speed up through these last two songs here. This next one is called Gun in your Purse. I want to play a little bit of this for y'. [01:12:36] Speaker B: All. [01:12:41] Speaker A: Let's see here now. Okay, It's a good little bop right here. [01:12:55] Speaker B: Put this gun in your purse. Put this gun in your purse. Put this gun in your purse. Put this gun in your purse. Sometimes it'll get bad, sometimes it'll get worse. Put this gun in your purse. Sometime we gotta die, them niggas gonna die first. Put this gun in your purse. Put this gun in your purse. Put this gun in your purse. Sometimes it'll get bad, sometimes it'll get worse. Sometime we gotta die, them niggas gonna die first. Put this gun in your purse. I don't want nobody. [01:13:27] Speaker A: Body about you. [01:13:28] Speaker B: If I did that time is probably about you. Hold this down, I worry about you. Can't teach how to shoot. Teach you how to aim. Can't teach you how to shoot. Teach about the game. Can't teach you how to hoop. Swing through the lane while you hang out the roof. It's a bumpy ride, you be all right, you can hang nice race. Still ain't got the boot 102 door. Still ain't got the coup one two war still ain't got the coupe. My favorite passenger, Princess sitting real pretty, riding my shoddy left handed Rest on my hair. Rest checking my rear view out of my body. She always, sometimes she crying, it hurts so keep on praying it works. [01:13:59] Speaker A: Put this gun, put this gunny on purse. Put this gunny on purse. Put this gunny on purse. So look, I'll be thinking about a lot of times with rappers. What are y' all thinking about in the studio or what leads y' all to make a song like. Because you hear the hook and after some thoughtful stuff from him like the negro problem or no More Old men, you hear something and you hear, Put this gun in your purse. Put this gun in your purse, you like? Okay, all right. What kind of low brow, lazy writing and stuff like that is this? Right? And Chance does this beautiful thing where on the track, he disguises messages and, you know, puts the medicine in the candy, if you will. Like, he. He disguising the message in this wavy ass flow and everything like that, right? There's a sound, little playful song, a little playful track, Harmless, but just gonna. And you start really listening to the words. So now the high star bars. I wanted to point out real quick for him that he says, I don't want nobody body but you trust for girl, I'll catch a body about you hard High star bars right there, y'. All. Then he said, if I did that time is probably about you. Hold this down I worry about you. Hold this down Whether that's the gun, whether that's what we done built up our fam and all of that stuff. Hold this down though I worry about you can't teach you what he said, hold this down, I worry about you. Teach you how to aim can't teach you how to shoot Teach you how to aim I can't teach you how to shoot Teach you about the game I can't teach you how to hoop Swing through the lane while you hang out the roof it's a bumpy ride you'll be all right, you can hang. That's why you still ain't got the boot 102 door, man. Listen, y' all hear what you're saying, man. So the other thing about this, I am not going to play too much of his verse because we talked about my brother on his journey to development and not being arrested development, but shout out to Young Thug. He is featured on the track and it's actually a good verse from him, but it's just context is everything. I don't like the verse from Thug because the timing and what he's going through, in other words. But let me see if there's any of it I could get. See here? Okay. They go Young Thug right here, y'. [01:16:34] Speaker B: All. [01:16:34] Speaker A: Hold on. Just want y' all to hear a little bit of this. [01:16:43] Speaker B: Sometimes it'll get worse. Sometimes we gotta die. Them gonna die first. Them gonna die first. [01:16:49] Speaker A: Put this gun in your purse Put this gun in your bird murder like. [01:16:55] Speaker B: Ugk Put this gun in your purse. [01:16:59] Speaker A: She said it worked. [01:17:04] Speaker B: I need something to hold my cake I need a trunk I need some, I need brown oh, Lord, I feel like a bum I'm about to join the shooter I told my mom. [01:17:16] Speaker A: Okay, so It's. It's not a bad verse from Doug. I like what he was saying on there. I don't like the timing of it because he just getting out and he's on probation or whatever like that. He says certain lines in there. Put this gun in your purse Put this gun in your Shanayn Put this gun in your Burke murder like ugk Put this gun in your purse Went to work, went the worst. And then she said it work. So you know one of. One of Young Thug's better verses of this year. One of the lines that I hate the most about his verse is I'm about to join a shootout. I told my mama I say gunnyo purse. I lost a couple friends but the ops, they died first. She was like, bow. She said, yeah, it worked just like a freak. A leak AK squirt. So I. I just. I don't know. There's a timing of that. The just said, put this gun in your purse I lost a couple friends but the ops, they died first. Brother, oh, brother. Read the room. Anyways, so that was gunning your purse to me. Message I got from that Liberation needs conflict. Liberation is not peaceful. Let's be Or a revolution is not peaceful. Got to be prepared for conflict. It's almost like a go to war track. Little underlying underlying energy of go to war type type of track. But, yeah, that's where we at with that. Let's see here. We're gonna go ahead to the next track, and this will be the last one before we wrap up this week. It's called Trees. He actually uses a India Ari. Uses the India Ari sample Queen. Because I am a queen. What is that? I'm not Jabber Girl from the video? Yeah. So it's that song that he used video. But let's see here. We're gonna go through this a little bit. It's called Tree, and it's featuring Lil Wayne and Smino. [01:19:40] Speaker B: My mama used to always keep a little bit of Draw the instincts in the window While she folding our clothes Life will have its issues There will never be a problem with the witch she told me, son, don't worry don't you have no shame there's gonna be frustration in this white man's game and they're gonna have us tied up once it's legalized because it is a truth. My mama had to work My mama had to burn Duke kids My mama drove to church and iron shirts and kept a smirk and I think my mama must have worked that saltine at the Factor. Why she Came home crying, Said, I'm tired of these crackers. [01:20:34] Speaker A: All right, so there we go with the chance vibes. Let's see here. So says just want to go through it real quick again. My mama used to always keep a little bit of dro the incense in the window while she folding her clothes and through. Life will have its. And though life will have its issues, there will never be a problem with the weed. She told me, son, don't worry. Don't you have no shame. There's going to be frustrations in this white man's game, and they're going to have us tied up once it's legalized because it is a tree. Tied up. Legalized because it's a tree Tied up to a tree. Nice little. Nice little wordplay. All right. But I just wanted to go real quick over his first verse. So my mama had to work. My mama had to birth two kids. My mama drove to church in iron shirts and kept the smirk. Oh, she kept the smirk. Remember, she was doing clothes in the. In the window or whatnot. Right. The incense in the window while she's folding her clothes. So my mama had to work. My mama had to birth two kids My mama drove to church and iron shirts and kept the smirk. And I think my mama must have worked that saltine at the factor. Why? So that was Chance getting into his ultra rapper bag right there. Y', all, let's. Okay. So he thinks that his mother must have worked the saltine, whatever that is at the factor. Why? Right? So the factor why she came home crying, Said, I'm tired of these crackers. Got you, got you. Saltine factor y is factory. I get it. Okay. I roll up for pretty girls that's on on the ground getting paid. I roll up for women whose life wasn't no crystal staircase. And I roll up for any of my that's stuck in that jam Torn from their family hustling. Grams, we love you. We smoking on big Uncle Sam dispensary. Weed is a government scheme. I don't know about that yet. Hold on now. My cousin, my weed man, the plug is my man's. My whole life look like I've been rubbing a lamp. The blunt like I rolled up a rug in my hand. So all like this great visuals for the fellow connoisseurs out there. Y' all can definitely relate and understand. Again, I just went back to that high star bar up there. The salting at the factor. Why she came home Said, I'm tired of these crackers. Lil Wayne has a verse on There is whelming. I'll be honest. It's whelming. Not under or over. Toward the end of the verse, he says he said, or toward the middle of his verse, he said, all my weed be strictly meds, My blunt be thick as legs. Yellow Percocets, white Percocets look like grits and eggs. So, you know, shout out to the Grits and eggs podcast. But to put that with Percocet, it's okay, brother. So anyone saying, man, he. But Lil Wayne still did his thing, but it was just whelming because the. The content on there or whatnot. You feel me? So that. That was the last track that we're gonna go over today, that trees track. And I'm going to. Could wrap this up earlier. I do want to. I said earlier and we two hours in. But I do want to show some love. [01:23:53] Speaker B: Show love. It don't show nothing. It don't cost nothing to show a love. [01:23:57] Speaker A: I'm doing this, getting my show a some love.
