Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]on the Patreon. I made a mistake talking about I can't wait to hear uh Drake do his uh version of what Hoveve did on the Blueprint 2. But then when I listen to Make Them, >> it's on there.

[00:00:12]>> Remember, it's on there.

[00:00:13]>> Yeah, >> that is what he was doing.

[00:00:15]>> It's on there.

[00:00:16]>> Make Them Remember is his version of Blueprint 2, which is okay. I lost.

[00:00:22]>> Y'all said I lost. But yeah, >> however, I'm I'm with all the mums is >> all make means and and what I really think >> I think he don't think he lost. I think y'all just cut the battle off in the middle.

[00:00:37]>> Like if you him like [ __ ] I was just getting started. I had some more [ __ ] and after uh they not like us, he just was like, "Yo, put it away." He can't do that though. You you you lost. He can't feel that way because on hard part six is when he >> acknowledged >> you acknowledge the loss.

[00:00:51]>> Yeah. If you feel that way, cool. The second you acknowledge the loss and say, "I'm done with this and blah blah blah.

[00:00:56]Yeah, thank your fans can thank me for getting you back in the booth, but I'm good." The second you start walking on record, say, "I'm walking away from this." It's over.

[00:01:04]>> What's the Hov line? Hov had a line that was kind of similar to when he kind of showed he had defeat in an Os.

[00:01:09]>> It's a valuable lesson learned. So, >> that's the record we talking about.

[00:01:12]>> Yeah. So, yeah. Blueprint 2. So, it >> that's definitely his record. That's definitely his uh Blueprint 2. But the difference is he said that in blueprint 2. Drake said it on heart six. And now come back two years later with more.

[00:01:22]>> Heart six you was dead.

[00:01:24]>> You know what I'm saying?

[00:01:24]>> Heart six you were depleted.

[00:01:26]>> You were not yourself. You sound like you lost. You sounded without confidence, without self-esteem. You sounded like you needed to be nursed back to where you were. So who that? But saying it now that you revived and it sound like you believe it, whole different world. I um and I'll play what I mean on that. [ __ ] hell. Where's the [ __ ] at? Make them remember. Where's this [ __ ] at? Here we go. Make them remember. Make them remember.

[00:01:52]>> All the rhyming in this [ __ ] is crazy when he was talking about me sleeping in uh sleep walking in the hallway. That was that was hard. That [ __ ] was weak.

[00:02:02]>> But the first verse the the this first verse again, one of the more important verses on this album.

[00:02:08]>> That's crazy.

[00:02:09]>> All I said that the other day.

[00:02:11]>> Yeah, he killed it.

[00:02:13]Yeah, but what he's saying >> I like I like him addressing all of that with the word play. It's crazy.

[00:02:19]>> Who would have won with what y'all was doing?

[00:02:21]>> Yeah. Nobody could fight.

[00:02:23]>> Nobody could have that's that's his whole point.

[00:02:25]>> Yeah, that's the reoccurring thing. But like the goalpost, I'm out here just moving. This is fly. It's a fly way to respond.

[00:02:32]>> This is why Drake will me >> anyway. Yeah. Easily one of the most important verses on that album. the whole uh that whole Aiden Ross verse on Make Them Pay again. I think that's the second verse. Another one of the most important verses on this album.

[00:02:48]>> Uh do I have it?

[00:02:51]>> Back to back to reminding himself again.

[00:02:53]>> This whole album, man. I don't want to beat the dead horse because we did this already. But >> hey yo, he What about the part where he was petty the uh the ice spice and bring Stunner Sandy on the on the joint?

[00:03:03]>> I don't like that.

[00:03:04]>> I said I said that [ __ ] laughed at me.

[00:03:06]>> Well, you didn't like it or he did it.

[00:03:08]>> Oh, no. I don't I don't have any. I don't know. I don't know. Ice or something.

[00:03:11]>> That speaks against the growth that you I mean Well, no, no, actually, no.

[00:03:14]>> You flew out. She bought me wrong because it's not You're speaking to the growth that you heard in addressing certain things in music. He can still do certain actions that doesn't speak.

[00:03:23]>> So, I'm I'm with you. But I didn't like that >> at all. No.

[00:03:26]>> Okay.

[00:03:26]>> It's cuz you're from the Bronx.

[00:03:28]>> No, it's cuz I just think it doesn't speak.

[00:03:30]>> What do y'all do y'all have anything to say about whatever the projected numbers were? I think Ice Man was 520. It was 130 for Habib T and 125 for something like Maid of Hon or something like that.

[00:03:41]>> 750ish I think.

[00:03:43]>> Um not surprised. Not surprised. I I would have thought Well, >> I would like to see the other albums get more shine, I guess.

[00:03:50]>> But that's the result of putting them all out at the same time.

[00:03:53]>> You think Iceman does more numbers if he only had one release and people could really draw all their attention to that project >> or you think those numbers the same? No, I think he did what he was going to do, which is the five something, >> which is which is a lot more impressive when you realize that he just paid for everything and did it without anybody's help and came up with the roll out and paid for. It's really impressive. It is really impressive.

[00:04:15]>> Yeah. Now, that can't be denied.

[00:04:19]>> Impressive run. I love how he approached it. I like the whole spectacle. I don't I'm not against any of that, [ __ ] This is an important album for you. Yeah. Do the stream, do all that [ __ ] Have popping fireworks. Do all that. That's fire to me. And I like most of the music >> and I'm and I'm back on sonically. I like the project. I think it's good. I'm I might not align with certain messaging and certain things, but end of the day, it's his message. He can say what the [ __ ] you want.

[00:04:44]>> Of course, >> like I said before, this is this is the first project since Views that I can listen through top to bottom without having to All right, I'm just want to hear the records I want to hear and get back off that album.

[00:04:54]>> So for that that alone, I don't care what it sells. Just that alone is a huge win for me. New job.
