The video attempts to elevate tabloid-tier hip-hop drama by wrapping it in the dry technicalities of copyright law and industry metrics. It is a classic example of over-intellectualizing the superficial to maintain a veneer of professional authority.

Actually in the daytime, right?
Appreciate these jewels locks.
In the daytime, I got an email. Didn't see it. Did not see it.
Did not see it. I go into my YouTube uh studio creator for the for the YouTube creators, right?
I see a notification that my video cannot be monetized.
My video called it's it's called uh the stinky what's that video? What did I call it? It's called the stinky fall of Dame Dash or something like that. Let me get let me bring it up so I can get the actual uh so I can get the actual quote because Dame Dash claimed my video for that song.
Dame Dash has a song that he made Sticky Nikki Licky diss Cameron and Jay-Z on. He made Nikki Licky diss them and it was just a snippet. It was a on his I think his Instagram or something, right? And we did all of the YouTube uh creators, well, a lot of them, not all of them, did a did a reaction to the song, right?
And I did a reaction to the to the nonsense. It's it's it's a nonsense song. He got Nikki Licky aka the white Aaliyah, right? Miss Tiny knows the song Superwoman by Karen Wright. That's the song that I'm singing when I sing that early Sunday. I changed the date of the day of it. Right. But so so so Dame Dash does this impromptu video uh with Nikki Licky showing her performing this song. The song is called Cheap Teeth. Cheap Teeth. Right.
Dame Dash has a song called Cheap Teeth where he's disrespecting Camron's uh veneers, right? He's he's saying that his teeth his teeth are cheap. Mind you, Dame Dash's teeth fell out on stream live, right? I don't know if y'all remember that, but Dame Dash's teeth fell out and he laughed it off. He smiled and it was not cool. It didn't look good at all, gang. I'm just going to be honest. Now, Paul remembers the name of my video. was called the stinky crash of Dame Dash.
Right. So Dame Dash makes this record cuz he's trying to get back at Cameron for for just laughing at him and just overall calling him out in the nonsense.
So he makes this song with the white Aliyah, right? The lesbian white. He He I didn't make this name up. I got to keep saying that cuz people think I make the name up. So Dame Dash made the song called uh Cheap Teeth with the white Aaliyah aka Nikki Licky.
And everybody, we think it's a joke. We think the song is a joke. We think it's haha funny. Now, Dame Dash announces he is bringing out a record label. He's looking for artists. If you are an artist, Dame says, "Send them your music." He wants all people in the social media space, creators and otherwise content creators. He want the market. Dame is back. Even though he said a few months ago, ain't no money in the music business. I would never do music again. Right? I think Dame forgets what he says. Right? So Dame Dash decides he's going to put this song up, right? He's going to put this song out with Nikki Licky and he does a video. I respond. I put the clip in my video.
That was over a month ago, gang. I get a I get an email notice yesterday that it literally says, "Claimed content was found in your video."
Right? claimed content was found in your video.
Matter of fact, I can bring I can get the I can get the the the picture for you right now.
That claimed content turned out to be Dame Dash's song.
Dame Dash has released that song with a with a provider. So, I got I got the picture right here. I'm going to bring this up right here. But Dame Dash now releasing that song with Empire and he is claiming videos. He claimed my video.
Dame Dash claimed my video. The stinky crash of Dame Dash. Here is a picture of the email that I got because now they demonetized the video.
If you look at that picture right there, it'll tell you everything that happened.
It's This is real. Bethany, good morning, Bethany. This is real.
It's like Dame Dash is going after creators because he's released that song now. It's called Cheap Teeth, which I knew he was going to do. I knew he was going to release that song. I did not know they were going to go after content creators. So right here, this this this clip, this little picture shows you it says, "Claimed content was found in your video. The stinky crash of Dame Dash.
The vis visibility of your video is not impacted, but you can no longer monetize it. The claimant is now either monetizing it or receiving analytics about it. This is not a copyright strike and does not affect your channel. And it's the content I use gang on uh this this was uh back in June. I think I did it on June 16th. July 21st I got hit with this. The content is Cheap Cheap Teeth by Dame Dash aka Billy Pablo III gang. I can't make this [ __ ] up. I can't make it up. Dame Dash is calling himself his stage name is Billy Pablo III. Now maybe you guys knew that or didn't know that but I didn't know that.
Right. I didn't know that. that Dame Dash was calling himself Billy Pablo III. It's right there in the con. It's right there on the screen. I'm not making this up. Dame Dash has named himself that.
I'm not making this up.
And Nikki Licky, his artist, his flagship artist, the white Aaliyah.
Dang, I wish I was making this up. It says the content owner is Empire.
So that means I'm going to assume he has a a distribution deal with Empire now to distribute right to distribute his music.
They somehow got involved and think that this is going to sell units. Somehow he sat down with these guys and and is is somehow confu convinced them that Dame Dash Music Group will be a viable source of income.
And you're right. You're right, Tam Tam.
The names are wild. Listen to these names. Billy Pablo III and Nikki Licky speaks for itself, gang.
So, I did a I did a a video about this last night. and I put it on my it's on my Patreon and it's on my YouTube uh members. So, just more if you want more details, you can watch the video on on on one of them two platforms.
But end of the day, we just see that Dame Dame is lost, gang. We lost Dame.
Dame is lost. End of the day. Oh, Charles. I think Jay-Z used to call Dame Pablo. Okay.
He don't got to call himself Pablo.
I don't understand what's happening. But end of the day, Dame Dash has convinced himself and others that somehow someway he's going to sell music and that music that he's selling is going to include Nikki Licky. I don't know. Somebody in the chat tell me they're anticipating a Nikki Licky release. Please.
I I I don't understand. Right.
I don't I don't understand.
[laughter] by you said this that and the third is a gay collo colloquialism that should be retired as nope don't care what you say this that and the third [laughter] you done okay say less uh case now that you're at 40k subs this might have happen more often yeah we getting more muscles we getting more muscles salute to the people that's rocking [laughter] that's rocking with the channel that just locked in but the end of the day Right. We are We are seeing Dame Dash full on spiraling into I don't know what this is. I I don't know. I don't understand.
I don't understand what Dame is becoming, but that that that music is going nowhere. Her career, let's just be honest, is going absolutely nowhere.
Let's be honest. There's no way that Nikki Licky sells anything more. Let me Let me just say I'm going to take a wild guess. Nikki Licky puts an album together, right? We gonna call it all the licks. So, whatever they gonna call this nonsense.
Nicki Licky, the white or lesbian Leah Aaliyah, right? Accorder Dave Dash drops his album or the licks, right? This thing not even going to move a thousand units.
I'm going to be honest. The only way they're going to that Dame Dash is going to get this this woman to move Ununice is do a whole bunch of Tik Toks.
A whole bunch of Tik Toks and monetize the Tik Toks for how ridiculous they are. Other than that, I don't see this going nowhere. And I fully expect a record coming [laughter] at me sooner or later, right? Cuz I'mma be I'mma be here telling you about it.
Forbes is right. V Forbes is right.
Career over before it started. Grand open and grand closes. I don't see a future. I don't see a future for Nicki Licky rap career.
And I would be highly disappointed if there was one. [laughter] As a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, only way Nikki Licky has a career, she's going to have to do dance music, club music. All this rapping is out. She gonna have to be on her, oh, a place to stay. Get your beauty on the floor tonight. Make my day. Oh wow. She going to have to do that whole bunch of house music, dance music. The rapping in the rapping ain't happening.
I'm just going to keep it above.
I'm just going to keep it above.
[laughter] It is what it is. So that's the silly song that Dame Dash has actually put out and is going to start claiming people's music and videos. Whoever got a video and that's part of the plan. all these content creators who shared it now they can go snatch all the videos and get and get money from it. But what I did was I erased the song from the video which they have an option. You have you have you have mad options. You have about three or four options. You can erase the song which will which will leave the video and erase the song out. You can trim the song which is what I normally do. I just trim the song and it'll it'll just take all the music out. Cut it'll jump cut and go and take it out. Or you can dispute the claim. I'm not. Who's going to dispute the claim? So, I just erased the song and I kept it pushing.
Video's monetized again. Boom. Bam.
Right. Over. Done. Couch potatoes.
Salute. Appreciate you. Right.
Uh, Storm Randall said, "Dame Dash uh has to be a has shown to be a fool."
Right. We running Jewels this morning.
Bethany Dame Dash aka Billy Pablo has 66 monthly listeners on Spotify. This is Dame Dash's introduction into the music world. Billy Pablo. I wonder how long he been I wonder how long he been Billy Pablo. Maybe this is some old [ __ ] and I'm just I'm I'm just catching up. Maybe he been Billy Pablo, right? Maybe he been Billy Pablo and I'm just I'm I'm behind, right? And Tam Tam is right.
Especially if he's calling her the white Aaliyah. Every time he's And he has a say he says that all the time when he goes on art dialogue. He tells her to come come over to he he's promoting her.
Every time he does these interviews, so the interviewers will do a long interview and at the end of the interview, he'll say, "All right, let me bring my artist Nikki over." He'll bring her over, right? He did it on Art of Dialogue. I think he did it on Vlad TV as well and and another interview place.
He'll bring her over and introduce her as the white Aaliyah. And I'm like, "Bro, every time you do that, you disrespect us. You disrespect Aaliyah.
and you disrespect her because she's trying to make her own name. So every time you call her that, she's obviously not that. She's not of that stature.
Aaliyah was very talented. Gang, stop saying that. Stop doing that. Don't do that to that girl. Run the jewels. I appreciate you. Uh, who just ran those jewels?
I'm kind of behind. Appreciate you. Me love James. Thank you. We running Jewels this morning, right? Homebody said, "Dame Dash Dragon Jay-Z for having his wife on stage." He got Beyonce. He's dragging Jay-Z for having Beyonce.
Okay, we get it, dog. We got it. Your wife is Beyonce. We get it, dog. Come on. How many times you going to drag her out? It's almost like a like he's he he's he literally coming at Jay-Z for having and bringing Beyonce out to cut his hair. He tried to clown him for that, but he trying to put Nikki Licky on. Gang, let's just It's It's ridiculous. Memphis said Dame is going outside. [laughter] I used to do his dance. He's still doing his dance. He just did that dance. I think he did it in the the the the the cheap teeth video. And the crazy thing about Dame, Dame goes and says him and Cameron can go dentist for dentist cuz his dentist has more Ferraris than Cameron's dentist. His dentist is richer. That this this is I can't make this stuff up, gang. We lost Dame Dash.
Dame dash brain is completely fried, right? Bala over there on Twitch said Beyonce brought her husband out on stage. It was the other way around.
[gasps] Either way, it is what it is.
I don't know if you guys know about what's going on with Kendrick.
I don't know if you guys know about what's going on with the not like us, the West Coast list.
Uh, I want to talk about this. This is a little drama and I'm going to do a video about this later, right?
With the uh it's voted number five uh the West Coast anthems of all time.
And we gonna get to it. I'mma do a whole video [snorts] um about Mo being upset about that song being nominated.
West Coast song all time, right? It's all over Twitter and people are weighing in. Right. Kendrick Lamar Not Like Us was recently ranked number five on Complex's list of top 100 LA songs of all time. this high placement for a track this recent has sparked lively debates. So gang, listen, let's talk about it. I don't know if you know, but they have said that uh on complex once again, right? They've nominated they've made a clickbait list. Let's just be and people are having debates. I think I I saw last night Glasses Malone is fine with it. Glass Malone is fine with it, but I want I want to It says the LA rap songs of all time. This is LA only, right? I want to bring up the list so we can have this uh discussion, but it's not like us.
Uh uh does it deserve to be on the list at all?
And is Mo right [snorts] that it can't it can't be that high cuz other songs should be higher.
Let's get to this list.
We going to have a conversation. Uh I have no problem with it. You got to think of the impact that not like us had.
You got to understand where it's at at this point in time, right?
And it has leaprogged a lot of really great records, right? It leaprogged a lot of really great records. Now, some of the stuff you can question, right? Some of the stuff we going to we going to do this. We are going to do this, but Maul is biased and Maul is Maul. Let's talk about this list. Let's talk about not like us being placed very high on this list and let's get a consensus about this list and where dot belongs at this point this is one of the greatest songs in west coast history at the even yes even only being out for two years this song is going to be around gang it is going to stand the test of time They will be singing Not Like Us as long as they sing Jin and Juice. I'm just gonna be honest, right?
Uh, I don't actually see the list yet.
Let me get to the list. Let me go to Complex.
All right, let me go to Complex because I don't see the list. LA songs.
Everybody's showing mole. I want to see the actual list.
All right. 100 best LA songs. I got the list right here.
I got the list right here. It is some heavy hitters on this list and I want you guys input.
On this list, cuz it is some heavy hitters on this list, gang.
There is some heavy hitters on this list. All right, let me get this picture up just so you can have an idea of what we're talking about.
These are some of the people on this list.
Let me close some of this nonsense.
I'mma go down to the bottom. I'm not naming all hundred.
I'mma do like 10 15.
So the number one song of of all time LA song I'm trying to get to it's a long this thing is acting crazy. The number one song is Nothing but a G thing. Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg. Uh that was in 1992.
That is the number one song. All right, these are LA songs only, gang. Not the whole wide world. Number two, Ice Cube.
Today was a good day. I think they spot on with that. Today was a good day. Is an is an anthem. Can't take nothing away from that. Number three, California Love. Tupac and Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman. Classic. Every time you hear her, you got to stop and dance. So that song ain't going nowhere. Classic.
Number four, NWA. Straight out of Compton. Crazy, man. That changed our lives, gang. I'm just going to be honest. NWA, Straight Out of Compton, 1988.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded in history, let alone LA. And the number five song as chosen by Complex is Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us.
I know some of you going to feel away, but that's where it is. I'm going to give you the next lineup of songs just for good measure so you guys can know where their head is at. Number six, Snoop Dog, Jen and Juice, gang. They rated it higher than Jin and Juice. Some of you are not going to have no type of sympathy for that. You're going to have a real problem. Number seven is Ice Ice Tease 6 in the morning. Police at my door. One of the greatest records ever recorded. Change hip hop the way we know it. Changed hip hop forever. Number eight, Cypress Hill. How I could just kill a man, right? I don't have no problem with Not Like Us being over these records cuz those records are big.
I think Not Like Us is massive gang. We going to keep it pushing. Number nine, Easy E, Boys in the Hood. These records are anthems. They are They change the face of the culture.
Number 10, Regulate. Regulators mount up. Warren G featuring Nate Do. All you Gen G and in Gen Z's that may have never heard uh uh uh uh Regulators mount up.
One of the greatest intros. Let's just be honest. [laughter] Uh what can't mess with his cattle. So I I remember it later. But one of the greatest intros from that movie Young Guns, Amelio Estvest. One of the greatest song intros we've ever heard.
Right. That was number 10. Regulators mount up. Number 11, Just Like Compton.
DJ Quick. You guys know that that they want to be Just Like Compton. One of the greatest records. Me personally though, I'mma offend some of you guys. I was an MC8 guy. I'mma be honest. But salute to DJ Quick. I had both records. Right.
Number 12, Far Side. She keeps on passing me by. Right. Number 12. All you Jenzers, you want to go see some real hip hop? Uh, Google passing me by. But I'm sure your mom played it for you already. You already already heard it.
Number 13, Egyptian lover. Freakahholic.
Freakahholic.
Number 14, F the police, which should be higher. I'm just going to be honest. F the police. That might be even bigger than Straight Out of Compton. I'mma keep it a buck. Uh, but number 14, NWA, F the Police. And number 15, Deep Deep Cover, Dr. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog [clears throat] creep with me as I roll through the hood. Right, that's the first introduction to Snoop classic record. Matter of fact, I'm going to go to 20. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog Steel Dr. is number 16. That was from 1999.
Number 17, Murder Rap. Now, I got a Murder Rap right from uh uh Above the Law. I had this take above the Law. Uh that was on Ruthless Records. Easy E was putting them out. He was handing out hits like hot, like like tic tacs.
Number 18, Tupac featuring Snoop Dogg.
Two of America's Most Wanted.
19, Lady of Rage, featuring Snoop Dogg, Afro Puffs. And number 20 was, "Oh yeah, the villain does get fed with no gasoline." Right. That was uh uh uh Ice Cub's response to to NWA in their disc record saying that they was going to uh shave his head and and stick a broomstick up his rear. Ice Cube came back like, "Oh no, here's what they think about you." Right? Ice Cube returned with with arguably the greatest discre hip hop history. No Vaseline.
Well, he said, "How you going to be the nwords for life crew with a white Jew telling you what to do?" Listen, Ice Cube ain't have no cut cards. It was a problem. And Ice Cube deserves everything he gets, right? Cube was that guy before we knew who the guy really was. Let's just be honest, right? So, those are the records. Some people took issue with it. Maul took issue with it.
I'm doing a video later going to dig going to dig a little deeper into that.
There's going to be issues with every list. There ain't no list going to satisfy everybody, right?
There ain't no list you going There ain't no list going to satisfy everybody. Let me read Let me read what uh Renee said. Not Like us deserves it.
The cultural impact. It won five Grammys. It clinched to win in the biggest rap battle in hip-hop history.
And it did this at a time West Coast rap wasn't dominating rap. All of that is true. And not only that, it brought back West Coast uh rap to the culture and people started listening to West Coast artists again, right? A whole bunch of guys we started paying attention to all over again because of Not Like Us, right? Memphis said Cube has a really good catalog as well. Uh Maine said uh hated the love it got to be on there. It probably is. I'm not reading the whole list. There's a hundred songs on there.
I'm not reading all them songs, but I agree with the whole top 20. Uh murder rap is a little high. I love murder rap.
Now I got a murder rap, right? It's a little high. I'm sure it's some other stuff that could have got ahead of [clears throat] of murder rap. Right. Uh Bayou said F complex, right?
Richie going Richie going on a tangent on on on on on CMW. Most of y'all might not even know who CMW is. I know who Compton Most Wanted is. Richie says CMW is a bunch of studio gangsters except for Bam. He's the only one that really rap about. I'm not I'm not gonna have that conversation right now. But uh yeah, I I was at MC8. I love Compton Most Wanted. It is what it is. Everybody can be questioned. That gangster could be you could question almost anybody's gangster. Let's just be honest. Ice Cube doesn't get enough credit according to I talk [ __ ] Uh Black Mall, salute the Black Mall in the building. He said uh to live and die in LA by Pac Definitely top 10. So it is what it is. That list going to be questioned. Jingen says Spice One better be somewhere in the top 10. Spice One is not in that top 10. The trigger has no heart. Right. Spice One is not in that top 10 at all. I didn't see Spice One name nowhere. And there honestly I went 20. Spice One name not in there at [laughter] all. The trigger has no heart. So I don't know how they feel about Spice One. Is he LA? I don't even know if Spice One is Is he LA? Is Spice One from the Bay? I don't know what's going on. Okay, Diego in the building. Salute to Diego. Right.
Shouts out to Compton. They want to be just like Compton, right? Listen, Natrice says, "I have no problem with the list. a list about West Coast gonna always stir up feelings, right? It's going to always stir feelings and we always going to have issues and questions. Like I said, I'm I'mma dig deeper into it later. And Maul's uh uh uh uh his his his his response to Kendrick once again hating on Dot as he normally does. Now gang, let's keep it pushing.
I don't know how many of you went and listened to Set in Stone by Rick Ross, but the numbers are in.
The numbers are in for Rick Ross' Set in Stone album. And as you would expect, it's not pretty. I think Rick Ross was bracing for this when he went on a diet tribe saying he got paid already for the album. He probably sold it before it came out to some type of gang. This is where it's going now. When you got a name, they probably selling the music now before it even dropped. You know, they got these firms that's buying up cataloges. Rick Ross might have sold that stuff before it even released to a firm. That might be the new hustle, but the numbers are in.
And let's had his conversation. Rick Ross hit with disappointing first week sales predictions for Set in Stone by an Alexander Cole. He dropped off his new album Set in Stone and it doesn't appear that the album is performing. When Rick Ross announced his new album, Set in Stone, there was certainly some skepticism online. His proximity to Drake uh and the Beef in 2024 left a bad taste in the mouth of fans. All right, so that kind of it kind of turned some people off to Ross.
Uh going into the album, it felt as though Rick Ross was making preemptive excuses for a potential flop. For instance, he went online and said that regardless of how the album performs, he has already been paid. This does not inspire much confidence in the finished product. On Friday, the album was released and almost every single song has a feature.
Once again, not inspiring much confidence. Reactions begin to flood the internet and for the most part, fans aren't loving the project. As it turns out, this is being reflected in the the album sales numbers which were reported by Kirko.
It is it is projected to sell under 26K.
All right. For a legend like Rick Ross, these numbers are a huge disappointment.
If this was 10 years ago, it would have sold a six figure amount. Well, we can't go by 10 years ago. Let's be honest.
Ain't nobody selling what they sold 10 years ago, gang. Let's just be honest, right? If he's independent, if he's independent, that's not bad.
But I don't know what he got going on.
Now for Rick Ross, I'm sure he would have wished it was 100K, right?
100K. Uh, Dun Deal said, "Rick Ross new video kind of nuts. He merks 50. I haven't seen it, right?" Uh, Tam Tam says, "So he knew it was trash." Well, he know his name is kind of mud out here cuz he because he dissing Drake, right?
Maul said, "I actually f with the album and I'm not a Ross fan at all." Okay.
So, Maul cosigned it to me and I'm not going to say his flip-flop on you. 26K for an independent artist is not bad, right? Independent independent artist.
26K is good for an independent artist, right? So, if he's keeping all that money for himself, apparently he already got paid. He done s I'm assuming he sold it to some firm, right? Rick Ross, I'mma finish the article. That said, Ross has already been paid, at least according to him. With that in mind, he probably isn't worried about these sales figures.
As for the label that wrote him the check, they probably will see it differently. It's going to slowly, if he keeps, if he gets out there, right?
Keep putting up videos, keep doing shows, the numbers going to climb. It just it is what it is. I say this all the time, so I'm not going to change my stance. If you get out and work the album like Red Man did and other independent artists, the clips, you get out there, you do you do uh interviews, you do features, you keep your game, he can push that thing up to 50K in the course of uh 6 months if he gets out there and tour with it, does the right thing. So, if he's independent, that's not that bad, gang. That's not that bad.
You got to remember Nas done 30K. Nas will do 30K on a new release. So, it's like it ain't that bad. I know it's I know it's funny to laugh at Rick Ross, but 26,000 ain't bad for an indie. I'mma keep it a buck. Forb said, "I listen to Ross album production was good. Ross always raps well. Nothing stood out. Max B was terrible."
Okay, that's what that's what Forb said, so I'm going by what Forb said, right?
So, end of the day, Rick Ross is predicting they're looking at a 20 26K.
And to me, that's not bad for Independent Arts, gang. I got another story I'mma talk about later. I'mma I'mma touch on it now, but I I do plan on doing a a full video about this later because this I found this interesting. I found this interesting.
Your boy Whezzy is doing an interview run.
For whatever reason, I feel like Whezzy's interviews are on par with JCole's interviews cuz once they get him talking, he says too much. And this one is telling.
This one is telling. I'm not even going to get into the fact that he's backing Trump needing uh to to to re remodel the Oval Office. We're not even getting that. He's saying that that's cool. He's cool with that. Not even getting into that.
But Lil Wayne has declared he's revealed his favorite male and female rapper.
He was on the Friends Keeps Friends Keep Secrets podcast with Lil Dicky and Benny Blanco. Salute to Lil Dicky. He got a great show. That Dave that Dave show is is a good show. And I didn't know who Benny Blanco was until he was on that show with Lil Dicki.
He's a producer. Makes a lot of money.
But Lil Wayne is one of the greatest rappers of all time. And typically the best artists are the ones who find inspiration in those who came before them or came up with them. Lil Wayne is no different. This article is on How New Hop by Alexander Cole. Recently the legendary artist was on was a guest on Friends Keep Secrets where he got to speak with the likes of Benny Blanco and Lil Dicki. During a conversation he was asked about who his favorite rappers are. If you're a fan of Lil Wayne, you probably know this answer. After all, he has been incredibly consistent for the matter for years. Below he reveals that his answer is none other than Jay-Z as well as Missy Elliot. The room immediately responds positively and Benny and Dicki proclaiming whole is part of their favorites as well. Now gang, we going to be Patty right here.
I'mma be honest, right? I'm going to be petty. This is this me being petty. You know, Twitter is an awful place. And I got this petty narrative from Twitter [laughter] and I admit that is absolutely petty. So 100% going in. I'm telling you right now as his male he did not name Drake and as his female he did not name Nikki.
[laughter] It would have been easy to say Drake and Nikki, right? And I get it. I know it's petty.
But you couldn't stick one of them in there. [laughter] It's funny because at one point Wayne was actively actively going at Jay. At one point it felt like they had real beef. Kidnap your lady money, right? But it was all on wax, right? and Jay paid for Wayne millions for Wayne's taxes.
Which is why the narrative that they were trying to kick that Jay block Wayne from the Super Bowl because he was somehow still seething from the back and forth.
He wanted to punish Wayne. It was a petty attempt to discredit Wayne by throwing Kendrick up there. It didn't make any sense because he paid millions for Wayne to not go to prison over back taxes. Lil uh Baby did not do that. That was Jay-Z.
Right.
So Wayne is naming Jay-Z as his top rapper and Missy Elliott.
Now, some people, if I'm a Barb or Drake or a Drake fan, which they were already upset with Wayne, let's be honest. The Barb's already upset. Already upset until he dropped that remix with Nikki on it and they were happy, right?
Remember the uh what song was that? Off of his album, The Carter 6, which he's already claimed he does not uh he does not pick his songs anymore.
He he he he said on the last interview that they whoever they are, picks his songs and picks the song titles and picks the uh album titles. I was I was flabbergasted that he said that. You let him talk long enough, we ain't going to say something insane. And he said, "Whoever the mysterious they are," he said, "I don't even pick the song track lists anymore. They pick these songs. So they go through he makes a whole bunch of songs and someone goes and picks them. So they must have been the ones who made the Carter 6 so god awful.
And uh he picked they picked the songs that we are now clowning and Nikki was on one of them songs. But that's the song she dissed Jay-Z. So So to me and many others he held that song back and released it as a remix.
The barbs were happy when he released that song as a remix. Salute the Miss Hummus in the building. Salute Sarah Wong in the building. Appreciate you.
Uh, appreciate everybody that's running Jewels.
Run the Jewels, right? Don't stop.
[laughter] So listen, man. Wayne is rightfully so naming Jay. Now, the bars may be like Missy over Nikki cuz you got to understand that they nobody over Nikki, right? So, he naming Nikki. Some of them gonna have a problem. I he naming uh Missy. Somebody some of them gonna have a problem with it, right? Somebody gonna have a problem with it. But naming Ho, they definitely gonna have a problem with that. That whole side gonna have a problem with that, gang. I I can almost smell the narratives right now. They already probably cooking this guy already. Drake's side. The bubble bath side. Oh, forget it. Oh, yeah. They probably already getting they they getting them narratives ready is probably already ugly. You pick Hoveve.
Do you know we are actively in a war? Do you not see academics actively in a war trying to destroy Jay-Z and everything he stands for? Mo didn't even go to the show. We are actively at war.
>> We are actively at war.
How dare you?
How dare you? So, I'm sure some people got some problems. And the people that got problems actually have to be fans of the Bubble Bath rapper. And before I get out of here, I am going to tell you the last thing about the bubble bath rapper.
I don't know if you guys know what happened. I'm not showing no videos. I'm just going to tell you what happened.
But if you guys don't know what happened.
I'm I'mma work backwards.
This is why when they say, "Why Charles?
Why you always talking about Drake?" I say do a lot of nonsense that gives us stuff to talk about.
He's the most He's supposed to be the biggest artist on earth, but they don't want nobody talk about him, right? But he does nonsense that will give us fodder to make videos.
And he clicked like on yet another video that he shouldn't have clicked like on.
And he has stirred up more division and controversy with yet another like.
Yet another like. They were saying, "Charles, you always talking about the bubble bath rapper. You always talking about Drake." Well, gang, Dot don't be clicking like on stuff. Maybe he's Maybe Dot got a burner. He's walking. He's going through all these accounts just like Lupe Fiasco sitting in on lives and watching and com. I don't know cuz he never gets caught clicking like. He never get caught with the burner. Right.
the plot to his account, this that and the third. But Drake is clicking with his real account.
He clicked like on a post of one of his fans. This happened, I believe. I don't know where it happened. I think it's in I think it was in Toronto. I think it was in Canada.
One of Drake's fans heard somebody playing Not Like Us on a speaker, a Bluetooth speaker. It was it was like an event outside. I don't know the the details. Somebody in the chat could tell me the details, but somebody somebody was at an event and they put on not like us. Hundreds of people outside.
Drake fans heard this and homeboy went off.
Who played this [ __ ] You don't play this [ __ ] around us.
No. No. You don't play no Kendrick around us. this [ __ ] D and somebody gassed homeboy up said throw the speaker.
This is this is a clip. [laughter] This is a clip that went viral, right?
And homeboy picks up homeboy's Bluetooth speaker, throws it, and uh uh uh uh unapologetically tries to go about his way. Now, this little clip went viral and Drake allegedly clicked like cuz somebody circled it. Champagne Poppy liked the click of the guy clip of the guy picking up somebody else's speaker cursing about we don't we don't play no Kendrick [ __ ] around here.
And he threw homeboy speaker. Now, I don't know if Drake saw the follow-up video because homeboy, who picked up that speaker for playing Not Like Us and slammed it on the ground, well, he got mashed out.
He got he got jumped.
Okay, end of the day, he got jumped and there's a video of that. But Drake didn't see that video. He saw the video of homeboy throwing the speaker and it cut off. So now once again we got Champagne Poppy online clicking like on things he don't need to be clicking like on. People think I exaggerate when I'm talking. I say he clicked like on stuff that exasperates beef and and hypes up his fans.
People like Charles, you always say should I Well, this is another example of him trolling with his likes.
It's there. He clicked like, which would encourage me if I'm a deranged fan to now go out and try to make a viral moment by attacking a Kendrick fan or their speakers.
This encourages this, right? This encourages this.
And that's what And no handle said. Who was this? Uh Memphis said, "So dude got his ass whooped afterwards." Oh yeah. Oh yeah. He got mashed out. I saw at least eight people kicking him on the ground.
So all of that bravado, he was talking real spicy gang. He was cursing and saying this, that and the third, puffing out his chest, big bone and brric. Oh yeah, homeboy was with it.
Homeboy was with the shits. But what happened that wasn't too good for him?
He got he got packed out really really badly. I'm sure he made a trip to the ER or the the uh the walk-in, right? Central uh what they call it the the emergency walk-in. So, homeboy got packed out for that. He got packed out for that. And that's why we continuously have content because Drake will do stuff like this. He will clip the nonsense. Salute to Connor from all the way from Ireland. I believe Connor said uh Ireland. Was it Ireland yesterday? Connor was tapping in from I could be wrong, but I'm almost certain.
Tiff tiff in the building running the jewels. Stay hydrated. It is hot. It is hot. I got my water here. I ain't even drink no water yet. I'mma drink it once this is old.
Right. Uh Sarah said Jay Nolan said somebody gave the speaker thrower guy a flying squirrel punch. Oh yeah. Homeboy got mashed out. I saw the video. It's on Twitter, right? It is on Twitter.
Homeboy caught a dastasterly. He caught a dastasterly beating gang. I'mma keep it a buck. So it is what it is. I appreciate you guys locking in. All right.
Let me know what y'all think about that um situation with the West Coast Records.
This that and the third, right?
Blueface got arrested or something. I don't know what's going There's a lot going on. And I'm going to get the Charleston White Lady Gang. I don't know. I I can't with this guy. I don't know why we still we still accept him, but he's talking crazy about Nolan and uh uh Nolan Wales. I believe his name is the young the young kid that was left on the island. I know shock I know Charleston White is supposed to be shock value. I get it.
But the shock ain't shocking. It's just silly.
And he's he's he's super obsessed with people's sexuality and this that and the third. I I think we we I I said I said two years ago we outgrown Charleston White, but he keeps he keeps coming around. He keeps going live. He keeps going viral. They keep they keep interviewing him and paying him.
But the young kid that that passed away, he's he's saying he he looks aim affeminite and the white the white boys was doing this that and the third to him. I think we I think we ran our course with Charleston White. I'm gonna get to Charleston White later. Once again, I got to do yet another video. I already got three or four videos on Charleston White already.
He's he's a disaster. He's a disaster to this culture. He makes us look awful.
And I'm still going to get people my comment, Charleston, why you be telling the truth.
For every dumb thing he says, he says something semismart.
So end of the day, you're right, Sassy.
He's a disgrace, but he keeps getting air time and he keeps saying stuff no matter how offensive, they put him back on again. So I'm going to get to Charleston White, right? I'm going to get to him. But apparently he got shot at at Houston and the mob ties guys allegedly he's saying it was them. So it's a lot going on with him. I I I just I'm just surprised we still got this guy out here saying the things he says and doing the things he does, but we'll get to him later on in the day. All right, gang.
Listen, I appreciate you guys watching.
Head on over to blacketti.com.
Let them know who sent you. They ship all over the continental US. All right.
I got new merch.
Uh this that and the third merch, right?
Uh bio said we got to retire it. Nope.
We just getting started. This that and the third new merch. I'm just being honest. Merch. I got more merch coming out. We got the What show merch. The West Show is coming back. New look.
We're coming back and we going to be doing our Wednesday night thing once again. Right. Um, rest in peace to Nolan Wales who Charleston White decided to defile. He just had his going home service. Rest in pe rest in peace to that young man. And we got to start just we got to take back these airwaves, gang. It's just silly. This is why I do this show and other shows because we got too many goofy guys out here getting way too much publicity for being idiots, gang. I'm just going to be honest. For saying [ __ ] that we really don't want to hear, right?
Barbara might be on to something.
Where's that Molly? You in danger girl merch. Molly, you in danger merch. You might be on to something. Molly, you in danger. We in danger, gang. It is what it is. All right. Lock said, "Great show. I appreciate you." All right.
Diego said, "Rip." Listen, man. We going We going I'mma be back at it today. I'm trying to drop a couple more videos, but I did put that video up yesterday about 38 Spees verse Jedakus.
What's uh what I feel is wrong about the problem with that. I just dropped that last night. Uh I think 38 Spec got to humble himself. Jakiss is a legend and 38 Spees going about this the wrong way.
He's trying to get Jada to kiss on the verse and he's saying he body him and and trying to make Jiss trying to force Jakiss to retaliate. I think he's going about it the wrong way. He's going to ruin all his chances at being a legend to me. And I think that 38 Spec got to step back and try to understand what's what's what's going on. Okay, and that's it. Check that video out when you get a chance. And yeah, man. I'm out of here, man. Listen, I appreciate you guys locking in. I'mma catch y'all on that flip side. I'll be back here tomorrow.
All right, I'm out. Peace.
I need the whole left side. Every every seat by the window. I need the whole back of the bus. Everybody [music] move over. You two slide your feet over every everything by this window. I need this.
All these seats [music] move over. Thank you. Excuse me. Thank you. Look, [music] he deserve a he got he colored [singing] like a peacock.
Idiot slap a scrapper mad rapper dot bad [music] clapper bad three shots. Leap the weapon beat the injections through your tea top. JFK [music] smiling down through the treetops like hold your head my [ __ ] Wait for the beat drop. Old [ __ ] wagging fingers like a Bbop.
