Wills On The Tank: Man, you crazy. That back from the eighties. my goodness.
3 god: No, let me not say hell nah like he wanna spitting on that bitch, but that What's the first song? That's my shit though, where he'd be like,
Wills On The Tank: And you can say, I'm a hot boy out of the air conditioner. He went hard on that one too.

Wills On The Tank: Weren't either real that's that's the first it's the first it's the first one off the second disc. I can't remember the name of it though.
3 god: That's why I said for nothing, for nothing. That's what it's called, for nothing. Let pumpkin.
smoo: What's more important to y'all? What's more important to y'all, the hook or the verse?
Wills On The Tank: I think I actually think
3 god: The pairs who own that bitch.
Wills On The Tank: the I actually think the hooks are more important because the hooks are the hooks is what catch people who don't really care about rapping. You know what I'm saying? you can be
smoo: But I asked you, I asked you though, what's more important to you?
Wills On The Tank: To me, I think I still think hooks are more important personally. Cause if you got a good hook and a dope beat, you can pretty much almost get away with saying anything in the verses.
Eric: no no, that verse gotta be hidden
Wills On The Tank: But but if you most of the time people who care about verses, they're like people who care about rap. You get what I'm saying? you got people, go ahead, my bad.
Eric: Yeah. Yeah. I just I think about I think about no no no man, I kinda cut you off. My bad dog. But I'm gonna say what I said. I'm gonna say what I was gonna say.
3 god: Mm-hmm.
Eric: when you ha w I the thing I think about the most quotables, they all come from the verses. Like and and like especially if they saying something on the verse, you just gone it's verses that you really repeat over and over to people. You ain't unless it's like duffel bag boy or something like that, but
Wills On The Tank: Don't get him money little bag, boy.
Eric: That's the only but most of the time I'm saying a future verse or I'm saying a Drake verse, I'm a line from Drake's verse.
smoo: Drake don't count.
Eric: Yeah, or yeah, everything he says is is is whatever.
3 god: Well well
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
3 god: well Bill, that's why I was saying when Smooth First asked, I said I I guess it depends on who who who who putting the shit out there. 'Cause if it's Wayne, you you going to listen to that song
Eric: Burst.
3 god: 'cause you wanna see what he said. But if it's T Pain, he ain't really going for the lyrics. You are gonna listen to you gonna say Sade, you know what I'm saying? You listen for that course.
smoo: Well, I think I think Drake and Wayne are outliers though. I think they're very much so outliers because Drake, his verses sound like hooks, and Wayne is like the only nigga who can get away without a hook. So they very too much are
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah.
smoo: outliers when we talk about what we talk about, which way which made me ask the question because Wayne ain't really the, ain't really h hook heavy, but we all know his shit, you know.
3 god: I think Jeezy falls under there.
smoo: y'all y'all boys y'all
Wills On The Tank: Right. That's a fact.
smoo: boys y'all boys can get away with saying every verse. It ain't too many ver niggas that you can just get away with that.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
3 god: No, no cap. 'Cause we not we not we when you hear
Eric: Facts. Facts.
3 god: us when you hear us quoting Wayne, we not saying none of here quote ain't nobody in this bitch talking Mrs. Alf or something, like no cap. Like I mean we might say let the beat be but No,
Eric: Mm-hmm. So you say it's very
Wills On The Tank: But that's that's that's Bobby Valentino though, you know what I'm saying?
3 god: but I I'm saying he talking about courses, you know what I'm saying? Like But I mean think Jeezy falls under there too.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah. I'm trying to think. Wade don't got no hooks though for real. He really dope.
Eric: That's why I said he he couldn't have wrote Duffelbag boy, cause that's too far for wearing.
smoo: No, no, no, no, no, no. No,
Wills On The Tank: No.
smoo: hold on, hold on. I'm pretty sure Duffelback Boy was a a verse that turned into a that was a verse.
3 god: I can believe it.
2: Yeah.
Eric: Yeah. Probably so. Probably so. I can definitely see that.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Eric: Two times probably
3 god: I believe
Eric: hey look, take that take that eighth bar, say the
smoo: Ha ha ha.
Eric: rest of it, that's gonna be the hook. Wayne was like
Wills On The Tank: Hey, what's so crazy though? A
smoo: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: lot a lot of those engineers, they actually be like, and I think that I think this happened with one of DMX songs. These niggas, and to me, now to me, this is the genius of an engineer. They take, they'll take I've heard engineers take bits and pieces of other songs and then they'll make they'll they'll make they'll put other verses or take other lines from other songs and make a song out of it. I'm trying to it's a it's this one DMX song when they did that. I I wanna say, my nah it couldn't be with my dog, I can't remember. But it's but it it's I I wanna say even future song, young nigga move that dope. I wanna say they that was like bits and pieces of another song, and they constructed it into a song. You get what I'm saying? to me,
Eric: Crazy. Yeah, for sure.
Wills On The Tank: engineers that can do that has when I found that out, I was like, Man, that's crazy. you would have thought they was in the studio putting it together. You you feel what I'm saying?
Eric: For sure, for sure, for sure.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, that's engineers. Let me just say this last thing. I think engineers are some of the most are some of the most slept on people when it comes to music. you know what I'm saying? how how some of these guys really just put songs together, like, or with the mixing and the master and stuff like that. I personally believe that engineers. If producers get a point or well, that is how it go, you know, in some cases where producers get like royalties. I think I actually think engineers should be part of that, like where they should get like royalties off the stuff that they do. Cause man, some of these guys, man, that be engineer, man, they do some crazy work, bro. Like I wouldn't they need
Eric: I I think some of do get points
Wills On The Tank: to.
2: Yes, I don't get credit for nothing. Yeah,
Eric: off their deals, yeah. Some of
2: I don't know anything's and not so that, but I'm sure they could get something.
Wills On The Tank: Man, what you got? Man, engineers. Way some of these engineers be putting stuff together, man. It's like it's absolutely insane, bro.
Eric: Hey, look, it's certain producers like Dr. Dre, bro. When I the first time I heard that Let Me Ride, man, I don't like that was like one of I think I got introduced to old school Snoop, like or of course, like in college, but I'm when I first heard I'm like, damn, what the f
Wills On The Tank: It's crazy.
Eric: like who the fuck made created these sounds? You know what I mean?
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah.
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Eric: Like Dr. Dre, that nigga was on another level.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah. That's a sample from another song, but swing down, sweet cherry stop, and let me ride.
Eric: Yep. Need to ride. Hell yeah.
smoo: Dude, what you taking, bro? You taking the verse or the hook?
2: right off I think I'm taking the hook. I don't think I'm taking the hook. 'Cause if the verse if it's a song with a verse well, if it's a song with the hook on it, if the hook trash, we probably gonna overlook it unless the hook will just unless the verse was just
Wills On The Tank: Stop saying.
2: super fire. But if it's just you know what I'm saying, a fire verse hook trash, we probably ain't replaying that song. Well, I'm not replaying that song for real.
Wills On The Tank: Right. Right.
2: I'm gone 'cause
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: Mm-hmm.
2: you gonna have more than one good verse. I listen to your verse on a good song versus just you on s just a random random song with a trash hook. I think that's where people get slept on, that's where we create these aliens and this alien tier and all this because they have good verses, but like damn these folks buddy ain't got no good Songs, complete songs, Man, but you seen what he did on on Tip Song? No shade of buddy, but yeah, so nah I can't I I like the hook more.
smoo: Yeah, I agree.
3 god: it just depends on who who who rapping that bitch, 'cause I I what was that us? It me for me is Wayne, but I understand what two's saying, just like just I guess it just depends, 'cause a a hook, like if you say in general, the hook is what's gonna catch you, right? But then
Wills On The Tank: Right on.
3 god: once you get that once you got skin in the game, like once you become that guy, you you then you go start looking for verses. Wayne verse when Wayne first come out, I'm sure that's with anybody, you got to have a catchy tune. Then once you become that guy, that's when people like, Cuzby actually rapping. And so then that's
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: when people go look for your verses. So but until
Eric: Hey, but I do think we
2: But y
Eric: we leaving out the beat. the beat, so if if
Wills On The Tank: That's the selling tool.
Eric: if the beat is super
3 god: Yeah, it's been too quick.
Eric: if the beat is super clean, then I can definitely probably do the verses. But like if the if it's a subpart beat, I think the hook gotta be fire. Yeah.
smoo: No, I disagree with that. I disagree with that. I think I think I think niggas like Benny the Butcher and
3 god: That's what I was just thinking of.
smoo: Conway, a lot of these niggas get away with subpar beats cause they verses be immaculate.
Wills On The Tank: Fire.
Eric: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
smoo: You know what I'm saying? Like them niggas don't them niggas them niggas don't need they don't really need nothing. They just need something to just put them in a pocket.
Eric: Yeah, them niggas be having some crazy loops in their music.
smoo: Yeah, them niggas just need a pocket.
Wills On The Tank: D do you
2: Yeah, all the time. They happen all the time.
Wills On The Tank: think a rapper can outdo the beat? Yeah.
smoo: For sure.
3 god: That means
Eric: J. Cole did it on that lightning storm, something from fighting and storm.
2: Yeah.
Eric: I J. Cole, nigga, I don't even hear the beat. I just look for that nigga around.
Wills On The Tank: I'm sorry, okay, okay. So
smoo: Yeah. J.
Wills On The Tank: so that brings me. Yeah. So do
smoo: Cole's production is what holding him back.
Eric: Yeah, true.
Wills On The Tank: I was just about to say, do you think
2: I don't know. I think that beat him did him. I think that beat did him justice. It's like it the beat
Eric: Mm.
2: took second Well, he might have made the beat taking second fiddle. It's it's crazy.
Eric: Yeah. Andre three thousand do that a lot too.
2: Benny the Butcher was so crazy on that song, but he it's
Wills On The Tank: What the beat? He outwrapped the beat.
2: like he didn't have a verse on there.
smoo: What'd you say two?
2: I said Benny the Butcher went so crazy on that song, but it's like he didn't have a verse on there.
smoo: No, I'ma I'm I'm finna end this shit right now. People asleep on Benny the Butcher verse That nigga, that nigga
3 god: Isn't it?
2: Crazy.
smoo: might have the best fucking verse when you really look back at it, dog. I understand the shock factor, but bro, Benny the Butcher went crazy on that song. J. Cole had the he had the the the quotables But Benny the Butcher had the flow, he had the delivery, he had the the internal rhyme the external rhyme He had all of that,
2: Tau too. Tau tum.
smoo: bro. And bro, it's like niggas heard J. Cole, they heard all that big stuff. It's like, he
Wills On The Tank: It is yeah, yeah.
smoo: got it. And just forgot Benny the Butcher was on the was on the song.
2: Hey, Cole came
Eric: Yeah.
2: through with that ominous flow. The
smoo: Right.
2: streets was... I was like, nick nigga, they thought god was rapping, bro. Like for real. But Ben Benny
smoo: Right, right, right, right, right.
Eric: Dang.
3 god: I I
2: Benny Benny rapped some of the words, like some of the most uncommon words ever. Like damn. I knew this and this rhyme, but I
Wills On The Tank: Mm.
2: I never thought to put it the
smoo: Right. This nigga
Eric: Four again.
smoo: this nigga used the word validity. I was like, yo.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Eric: Yeah, I it's funny 'cause I don't listen to his verse. I never listen to his verse.
3 god: but
smoo: Yeah. it's just it it's it's supposed to be like that. Of course it's supposed to be like that. But man, when you listen to Benny the Butcher's verse on that song, right?
Eric: Yeah, but I do got married respect for me. I like I
3 god: Meio badez.
Eric: like being elephant.
smoo: It's to be expected. It's to be expected. I'm not mad at it. Of course, J. Cole,
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: one of my favorite rappers, but Benny went crazy on that song.
2: I'm sure
3 god: but that that that that happened to
2: Biddy ain't mad at it. He like, I'm he glad for the streams.
3 god: that happened to what you call it though. That happened to
smoo: Right, right. Who?
3 god: Nick and Minaj, I think, motorsport. I say I think they're having to dick they're having to no.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Eric: I I just knew you was gonna say monster when you said The motor sport. What do you know?
Wills On The Tank: That's what I thought he was actually finna say. I really thought he was finna say that.
smoo: I thought he was gonna take like one of those crazy
2: Then I heard the I
Wills On The Tank: I only remember her voice. I don't even remember her you know what? Yeah, I'ma tell ya I I always think Miss my bad.
2: Then I heard the come up.
3 god: That's what I'm trying to say. That's what I'm saying. that's what that's hold on, that's what I'm
Eric: Yeah.
2: Jetzt over.
3 god: saying. That's what I said. That's in comparison to to to what Smooth's saying. Ben and the Butcher had the better verse, but Cole had the quotables. I think that's what Carly took. she had the energy, she had the quotables, and so it took away what Nika really was saying on that bitch. So it was like, shit, damn, what nigga said
smoo: I don't remember neither one of them.
Wills On The Tank: Me either. But I I always felt like Nikki had weak ended in
3 god: again? Car Carter had it, Carter went crazy.
Wills On The Tank: her verses.
smoo: Wha hey, what Cardi said on that dean?
3 god: Motorsport? I mean, I'm not listening to a girl. Like, Nicki, my favorite female rapper, so I'm not really lit, but I'm saying she had the at that point in time when it was like motorsport was that top song, everybody was talking about Carter had the best verse because it brought
2: She she's she said a hit a bar by offset.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
3 god: more energy. Y'all remember that? Yeah, so
2: Yeah that she had that bar by outset on the
3 god: see.
smoo: yes, he said something I turn offset on or something turn offset off something like that. Yeah.
3 god: Yeah. But if it w if
2: I know how
3 god: it wang I ain't gonna lie
2: I gonna say it.
3 god: to y'all, boy. I'm going straight to the verse. So that's good.
smoo: Y'all boys catch any sports this weekend? Of course y'all did.
Eric: Believe me, bitch.
3 god: And I think old girl was you pleased to be.
smoo: What we got, man? What we got?
Wills On The Tank: My best whole band better get the Swiss.
Eric: Yeah, well hey.
smoo: I think I think your boy Jeremiah Smith, I think he might be out of the Heisman running. you know.
3 god: At the one game?
smoo: See, that's how you know you don't pay attention to the college sports, man. We do this shit every week, man.
3 god: No, I no no no no. I'm I I heard that, but I'm saying I ain't I'm I ain't expect you to agree with that. Mr. Numbers man or numbers don't matter man?
smoo: Do you know why do you hello,
Wills On The Tank: You're the numbers man.
smoo: hello, y'all. Do you know why I'm saying he had the highs memory?
3 god: No, uhuh, why you saying that? I guess I ain't let you talk, so go ahead.
smoo: Yeah, they they don't got their quarterback, bro. They quarterback, he out for the season. And then they had a fresh they
3 god: I I you were saying 'cause we
smoo: had a freshman quarterback play and she it the nigga played horribly and they lost to USC. You know, and so one more game, one more game. They the the back half of their schedule is is is crazy. So, you know, if you got a freshman quarterback, I think this the season started out so great, I don't know really no I don't know really How you how you come back from that? especially with your quarterback. Shit, he gone.
Eric: Yeah. That's tough. Yeah, that's tough.
smoo: Shit, how d what are you even playing for at this point?
Eric: Shh, you may you you tell Jeremiah to sit out for
smoo: Legacy. No, I
Eric: the rest of the season?
smoo: don't think he's gonna sit out, but I think everything that I th you just really just fight for the records, you know what I'm saying? Just to put everything he I know he broke the big ten record. He took that from Braylon Edwards, for most touchdowns. So I guess you just
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: really trying to take put this shit so far up, niggas can't touch it ever again. But you know, I know the Heisman was in front of him. I know the national championship being the first pick, you know, all of that stuff is kinda At the wayside.
3 god: Well well I I say everything else but why you say that in past tense and in the past part of why you why you say being the first pick? Are you saying he won't be the first pick?
smoo: Well, I think that's a lot is entailed with the you having your quarterback, especially if niggas wanna take a quarterback first. And if you look at what the nigga at Oha Oklahoma State doing that quarterback, that nigga putting up crazy numbers every week.
3 god: Boy, Jeremiah Smill going
Eric: Yeah, he is.
3 god: number one, boy. it's
smoo: Okay.
3 god: over with. You see what JSE is doing?
smoo: yeah, I I definitely see that. I think JS CN is
3 god: That's what I'm saying. So
smoo: an anomaly. JS CN didn't go number one either, so
3 god: No, I'm saying I'm talking about Ohio State product. You about to go get that. You you you'll be dumb. You I tell this. You will get fired for n for him being the bus. How can you say it? For not picking him. Put it that way. Like if you don't pick him
smoo: You think you'll be you think you'll get fired for n not for taking a number not taking a number number receiver number one?
3 god: Not if it's Jeremiah Smill. I think d that's one of the ones you gotta be like, man, fuck it. You got to.
smoo: So we ain't seen Jeremiah Smith in the last thirty years?
3 god: I last thirty years, yeah, but it's Jeremiah Smith. Who who
smoo: that's the last time a that's the last time a receiver went number one.
3 god: I'm saying who who you think better than who recently? who you think been better than him?
smoo: A receiver?
3 god: Yeah, I'm talking about just as as him though, as J S N. I ain't talking about up his class, I'm talking about just where it's like a guarantee other than what, Jamar Chase, Justin Jeff.
smoo: I but you you you you saying JSCN like JSN was JSN in college. He wasn't that in college.
3 god: No, no, I'm not saying I'm not I'm talking about being Ohio State product now. That's what I'm saying. it's like this dude is that and he's Ohio State product. Well yeah, but but that nigga was a dog too.
smoo: Well well Marvin Harrison, he was supposed to be Marvin Harrison was Jeremiah Smith a couple of years ago. That's what but that's what I'm saying though. But that but that's what I'm saying though. You're how you are responding, you taking these guys NFL careers and you giving pluses to JSN and you deducting for Marvin Harrison when Marvin Harrison was actually highly touted more than JSN.
3 god: True. True. I mean I yeah.
smoo: So I don't I don't I I don't I I just think I just think I said, I think he got a lot that's impacting it's it's impacting a lot him not having his quarterback.
Eric: for sure, for sure. Because when you win it, man, you get more spotlighted. and it's d it it's looking like they're gonna have a tough road ahead without their starting Q B. You know, so I don't know. I mean I think next week gonna determine a lot though, for college football too.
smoo: Yeah. Man, but
Eric: I'm looking at looking at these games, bro. Look, bro, we got Texas and Missouri. Ten number ten, Texas, at number nineteen, Missouri. You got you got you got Ohio State and Oregon. Like it
smoo: Yeah, that's still an impact game. Even though they both ain't ain't ain't there yet, that's still an impactful game.
Eric: A great a great impact bro and then you got Alabama and LSU playing next week. You got Georgia and Ole Miss playing next week. You got Miami and Notre Dame. Bro, what? In one weekend?
smoo: Hello, hold on. There's some sleepers you forgot about now, my boy.
Eric: Look, Florida and Oklahoma. You got
smoo: BYU in Utah.
Eric: Kentucky and Tennessee. Shh.
smoo: That that might be the biggest game. Kentucky and Tennessee might be the biggest game. Because Kentucky,
Eric: Yeah ex
smoo: Kentucky, nigga, Kentucky is number one in the SEC.
2: When it's yeah.
Eric: And whoever who saw that coming? Who saw
smoo: Right. Right.
Eric: Kentucky be sitting at the top of the SEC out of Alabama, out of LSU, out of Ole Miss? Kentucky? And rightfully so. Like they
smoo: Out of Georgia, Kentucky number one.
2: Boy could take it and you see that.
Eric: ain't up there, they ain't up there by accident. Like Kentucky really but they ballin'.
smoo: Yeah, I think that I think that the Tennessee game, that's gonna tell you the truth. they got blasted by
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: Alabama. They got blasted by Alabama. But I think the
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: Tennessee game, I think that'll tell you the truth if them niggas really like that or not.
Eric: Yeah, yeah. 'Cause t although Tennessee did get blasted by Alabama, there ain't no slap squad, Tennessee
smoo: No, Kentucky. Kentucky got blasted by Alabama. Tennessee beat Alabama.
Eric: I'm tripping. My bad. My bad. My bad. Yeah, that's what I meant to say. Kentucky, they ain't no slouch squad. it's Alabama's still Alabama now. Come on now, So it's getting I I'm I'm excited about that Notre Dame and Miami game too. Like, I I I I'm interested in see to see how both squads are gonna hold up. Like Notre Dame,
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Eric: I think that they do good, but of course they don't you know I mean It's Notre Dame. they s strength and schedules just ain't the same. So Miami is the cause that
smoo: It's another couple important games too, Bill. that Texas AM and South Carolina game. That's important. South Carolina
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: been going crazy. Lenora Sellers been going crazy the last five weeks. Right, right. That shit's so crazy, bro.
Eric: Yeah. He actually playing like people thought he could from the beginning. Yep. Yep.
smoo: That shit's so crazy. And it's it to me, but it's it it made me think about Arts Manning, though, because Lenore
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: Sellers, he's like they were saying he could have went first round last year. And then he started throwing all these picks, and then it's like ain't nobody really, say nothing about him. And then all of a sudden he balling. But it's like what when arts do that, it's like all hell break loose. You know what I'm saying?
Eric: Yeah. Yeah, but why? Why is that? Mm-hmm.
smoo: of course it's his name.
3 god: Hey, hey smooth, smooth, smooth. Hey, bro, man,
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: What's up, bro?
3 god: I hate to call your ass out though. Cause it's I'm not
smoo: What's up?
3 god: hating, I'm not, it's just. This shit so crazy
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
3 god: because you had said that shit about
smoo: Georgia and all miss too.
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: You said you said that shit about Archman the other day, like a couple episodes
smoo: Mm-hmm.
3 god: ago. And I'm like, bro, you you know you're not wrong. That's why I said I never did be able to get my take on that Archman shit. But hearing you two and Bill criticize A white dude getting criticized by other white dudes is so crazy to me. Like it finally
smoo: Well my criticism don't come from white dudes criticizing him. My criti criticism comes from the group message I was in and hearing niggas criticizing him. It didn't come from white people c criticizing a white dude.
3 god: Okay, okay, my bad yeah. But it's it's like, but but but but the fan people not fan the people don't know that. And so that's what I'm saying, they getting the same me knowing y'all, I'm thinking like, dang, finally, like they like the dude getting what they deserve. Like when we play bad, it's like Lamar Jackson can't pass, can't do this, do that, and always criticism on black folks. But then when they finally going rightfully at a white dude, y'all chill out on Orange Manning. I'm like, damn, I thought this was what the what the Niggas were wounded. They we finally gave justice.
smoo: I'm my but but my shit ain't but I think that's more I think that's more from
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: your racist mind. My brain don't ain't focused on racism. I know it seemed like I'm focused on Caitlin Clark and Andrew Angel Reese, but my brain ain't thinking from a but I'm saying though, my brain my brain is not
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: Y'all niggas capped. I ain't talking about Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. I'm talking about me knowing you.
Eric: Hey
smoo: thinking about the color of these niggas. My brain is thinking about what I see at hand. And what I see at hand is like I said, when you look at QBs. Over the last 15
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: to 20 years, these
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: niggas throw picks all the time. And that can't determine if a quarterback is good or not.
3 god: I I'm not saying
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: your I'm not saying your take ain't just. it's it's a
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3 god: great take. I think it's good. But I'm just saying, coming from you, Bill, and T Wheels, you can agree. Like, bro, it's like, dang, white dude finally getting criticized, either fairly or unfairly, whatever the case may be. It's like, dang, we finally getting the just. But y'all like
Eric: Yeah, no, for me w what I was talking about when he actually started playing good, the world erupts like they start cheering him on. That's what I meant. So yeah, for sure. But yeah, I think I it
3 god: that's everybody. you ain't gonna be witches. But I I'm just talking about I I I know y'all I'm I'm just I know y'all ain't racist or or me thinking racist. I'm just saying
smoo: I yeah, I don't know what I don't know. I don't know that that's kinda a shallow thought, honestly, to think that just because a white dude supposed to be he playing bad and white people jumping on him, that we supposed to be happy. That's crazy. That's double bottom.
3 god: No, no, no, no, no, no. See, you're not hearing me. You're not hearing me. I well, maybe you are hearing me, but you're just taking it what I'm saying wrong. I'm just saying because we get so cr scrutinized our black quarterback, like, that ain't what it both look like. That ain't supposed to look like. You don't hear this big uproar when a guy like somebody of art standard, they don't get cru c crucified like a like Justin Herbert. Like it's cool now to go with them, but it was like This should have been the conversation, right? And we and and we was like, Man, nobody say nothing to him 'cause, he's that color, whatever, whatever. But when they finally get it, it was just not like I said, it's not I'm not saying you wrong. It's just funny. And I'm not c saying you contradicting, but it's sound like it's like, is it a win?
smoo: Nah, you definitely said we was contradicting.
3 god: Well, I'm not but I'm not I understand that, but I'm not trying to say it's just me knowing y'all. It's like, damn, well finally we got somebody getting the right criticism or wrong criticism but it's
smoo: I think maybe the difference is college too. I think that may be a difference too. Cause I don't think I've ever really like criticized like a white quarterback in college to the certain extent of how I criticize Justin Herbert. And that mother, that nigga is fucking horrible, dog.
3 god: Yeah. He tried. He tried.
smoo: And listen, I'm gonna tell you how bad Jason Herbert is. I'm gonna tell you some petty shit I did. So about a year ago, I'm talking about I was arguing with all these white dudes in the comments and shit like that. Nigga, I went to go try to find that conversation from a year ago. On Instagram, you can
3 god: Mm-hmm.
smoo: go to your comments and you can scroll up. The furthest it would let me go was July. Nigga, I was trying to go
3 god: really?
smoo: back to fucking January of last year. To go tell them niggas I told y'all bitch.
3 god: Niggas trying to go to a cap that probably ain't even there no more.
smoo: That shit probably ain't even there no more. Nigga, I went to my Instagram to find a picture. I went to go find
Eric: Right, right.
Wills On The Tank: That's some energy right there.
smoo: something and I cannot find nothing, bro.
Eric: Hey That is the epitome of I keep receipts and I and I cannot wait to show you whenever when they go back in your face.
smoo: Bro. I was so ready, bro. I'm talking about he played absolutely horrible, bro.
Eric: Yeah, that's crazy, bro. And he wasn't always bad, bro. That's the thing.
3 god: Well, to to your to day defense though, he ain't been this bad.
Eric: He wasn't always this bad.
smoo: I feel like I don't want to harp I don't wanna harp on on this part of the sports conversation, but I feel like he's been that bad in my personal opinion. I feel like he's been that bad. the only thing that wasn't highlighted was the losing part, and now they're losing with the the turnovers and things of that nature. so I
Eric: Yeah, yeah.
smoo: think that's it's a combination, but I feel like he always fucks shit up at the at the right time.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
3 god: Yeah, 'cause even last year
Eric: Yeah. It's
3 god: he had four picks of w whatever
Eric: the right time.
smoo: At the right time.
3 god: pick that was whatever whatever season that was, he like four picks in the playoff game. But nah, I ain't he he ain't
smoo: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
3 god: this he ain't n he ain't been this bad. I see him twice a year so I know him, but he ain't been this bad.
Eric: Hey, who who who y'all like for the Super Bowl this year though? Kinda looking at the teams so far.
3 god: Cheese bears, boy.
smoo: Me
Eric: She used to I was j I definitely think the Bears for sure.
3 god: I don't know if the Bears gonna win though. I'm I'm just talking with the Bears.
Eric: They can stay healthy, the bears, for sure.
smoo: Nigga, you don't know what the T song is.
3 god: I the cheese gone. We're
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3 god: going to that bit. Y'all, we losing now
smoo: Man, I think I I think
3 god: is the perfect formula.
smoo: Well, I'ma say this. If it ain't the Chiefs, just so we don't gotta go down that path, it ain't the Chiefs,
3 god: Yeah, yeah.
smoo: I think, I think I like the Steelers, man. I think the
Eric: Hmm.
smoo: Steelers are the most impressive team to me in the AFC.
Eric: Mm.
smoo: And I and even if the Chiefs can win the Super Bowl, I still think right now, I think the Steelers are the most impressive team. And you can count on Aaron Rodgers. They got a great running game. with my boy Spencer Dowdle. I think that's how you pronounce his last name. And my boy what's his last name? Jalen Warren.
3 god: Dow. Jade Warren. Jaden Warren.
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: You got you got them two, and then you got a dog defense. Like they team is prepared for the playoffs. So
3 god: And that big what's the big
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: what's the big boy name? Washington? the big tight end or whatever he played.
smoo: yeah, yeah, yeah. They prepare for the the playoffs, man. Darnell Washington. They prepare
3 god: Got in there was.
smoo: for the playoffs. So I think to me, I don't see I don't see a a stout team. I don't see a stout team. but I I like the Steelers. And on the in the NFC, I would say I'd say the Bears are the Lions so far. The Bears are the Lions.
Eric: The bears gonna sweep the lines.
3 god: ain't going nowhere with that defense, boy. Paris ain't going nowhere with that defense.
smoo: Yeah, they played a great they played a great deal they played a great game this past weekend.
3 god: Yeah, that was against that was against the
Eric: Right. And they
3 god: the hapless Vikings with no no offense though. Like
Eric: I just think Caleb Williams, I just think Caleb Williams can shoot it out with anybody. I I think their defense is good enough, but Caleb Williams is so good, bro. if he can stay healthy, it sky's the limit. Then they got they got a nice they got a solid run game in DeAndre Swift. So man, they they're they're a balanced offense. And I like their offense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
smoo: Yeah, they got a they got a they a they got a solid receiving court too. Solid solid solid receiv
3 god: Solid. Luther Bird and Roma Zuzier.
smoo: yeah. And then what's
Eric: Yeah, so
smoo: your boy name a tight end? Comet.
3 god: Come here, Cole Commit.
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3 god: No, you're talking about Loveland
smoo: Yeah.
3 god: too. They got Loveland, Courtland Loveland.
smoo: I like the I like the beers, man. Mm-hmm.
3 god: Yeah, they got a solid squad though. I
Eric: And
3 god: I as a Chiefs fan, yes we can be beat easily, but we can't be beat at the same time. I'm not going against no Pat Mahomes when it comes down to it. That ain't the fan of me, that's just being real. We would have won last game if it won a false start, but anyway. NFC side I know I just talked bad about them Vikings, but goddamn defense travel. So and they got one of the best defenses of the of the of the decade. So
smoo: Mm-hmm.
3 god: that's pretty tough in their playoffs. Now, you're
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: gonna have to put up points. You're gonna have to put up more than than thirteen, fourteen points, but That defense crazy right now. So
Eric: You s you see you think they defense can stop the Bears' offense?
smoo: Hell yeah, fuck yeah, fuck yeah, fuck yeah.
Eric: but
3 god: In the playoff situation? I think so.
Eric: I just I think Kayla Williams is a different
3 god: But I don't know. They I don't know. I don't know. Cause the that defense Seattle got, they moving the ball on them boys when I first was when I was watching the game. But
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: but that's different when it comes to their playoffs though. And Seattle is good.
Eric: Yeah, I see.
3 god: I I d that game we played against the Seattle Seattle last week, I don't count too much because that was the worst of the worst of the Chiefs. So, that's kinda a one off and it was it was a whole different motivation. Ken and Walker going back home. So it was a different so I don't know how good that defense really, really is. But if I got to go with the bike that defense. Huh? Yeah, that's why I'd say I watched it till how
smoo: I that shit they losing the night. I said they losing the night, so
3 god: time until we jumped on the podcast and they were moving, Chicago Bears. So I don't know how good that defense actually is. So I don't
smoo: I was finna ask you, bro, do you think it's time for the Ravens to move on from Lamar Jackson?
2: It might be. But I I'll I would say no because I don't know what they do what they do next. And who's willing to give them enough for Lamar Jackson that's willing to take the chance on Lamar Jackson. Cause they gonna ask for too much.
Eric: LM
3 god: Yeah, Ma Miami. And don't say Atlanta 'cause y'all had a chance, nigga.
smoo: Man, this nigga, hold on. This nigga said
2: See
smoo: Atlanta, bro. This nigga said Atlanta, bro. Yo, bro. Bro, two weeks ago,
Eric: Atlanta. Atlanta. Please go get Lamar Jackson. Please.
2: Yeah.
smoo: two
Wills On The Tank: So
smoo: weeks ago, Michael Penix was that nigga. He was
Eric: Please don't get that man up.
smoo: the savior. He go throw three
3 god: He bought the nigga dirty.
smoo: picks, and now it's time to go get Lamar Jackson, bro. Well, this shit is crazy, bro. They hey, they
Eric: I ain't mad at Pennyx. I ain't mad at Pennyx, man. I ain't mad at Penny. I I appreciate Penny's for what he done. But
Wills On The Tank: Yeah. They thought it was cool. They thought it was cool.
smoo: thought it was tour. They thought it was tour.
Eric: never thought it was too. We never thought it was too.
smoo: No, I'm saying you thought two was the problem.
Wills On The Tank: You thought small.
Eric: he he part of it for sure. Matt Ryan sitting in presidential seat. He he he the pri he always been a problem. I know now
smoo: But
Eric: this a take that people don't like, but bro, man, you don't, man, one of the 48 laws of power is stay away from unlucky people. Matt Ryan ass unlucky. I don't give a damn what you say. That boy, you do not lose a 28. To nothing lead 2-8-3 lead in the Super Bowl in the halftime, bro. This is
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Eric: this is your king? This is who you're gonna go get to hire for presidential services at Atlanta Falcons Stadium? Bro, no. Get Maddie. Get him out of here, bro.
2: And Nigga lost it. He lost a 28-3 that made him Gandalf. Man, watch out.
3 god: Nigga, your f your favorite your favorite quarterback didn't even get that for. What you talking about?
Eric: Man, I'm glad he didn't because if he would have done that in the Super Bowl, I would have said the same thing about Mike Vig. Get him out of Atlanta and don't
smoo: Man, get the fuck out of here.
Eric: ever let him come back. No.
3 god: No, hey, but time out though, Bill. I got I gotta call you out on something, bro. you say Atlanta like y'all niggas didn't have a chance to get Lamar last time. Y'all
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: didn't go get that nigga.
Eric: Look, I now I ca was Maddie Ice the president of the whole thing go shebang going on at the time? he better not be. Hold on. What
3 god: No, Mike Mike he just came to prison a year or two ago. If if this his first year. Nigga, y'all had a chance to get Lamar when he was due for head contract last time.
smoo: Well, they they they was they was saying that the Ravens was blackballing teams from even trying to well they the Ravens
Eric: Only.
smoo: were blackballing Lamar Jackson. You know, that's a whole different ordeal. What the what they what's that word? is it con convulsion? Collusion? Yeah, something something like that.
3 god: Colluda. Con conclude I mean c colluda.
Eric: Con loser.
Wills On The Tank: Collusion. You're in collusion.
smoo: Something like that. Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: I think it's collusion.
3 god: See the only people
smoo: Yeah.
3 god: to answer that question though, should the Ravens move on from Lamar? I don't think that's the question. I think that's the question, but I I think is it the question should end, should it be mutual? I think both of them just look, bro. Yeah, it just is
Wills On The Tank: This is gonna sit waves.
3 god: you you're a talent. You can't beat Mahomes, you can't be Josh. But then when we do actually have a chance to you heard, it's like then you don't you don't you don't communicate with us. it's like what are we to do? I got a new head coach, he trying to set his, trying to set his flag down. Defense ain't worth a shit no more. It's just like Let's see, can we get some pics for you, bruh, if you don't mind? And you got a no trade clause, so let's try to get you where you wanna go. but I don't think that neither one of them should have tension. It's just like nigga, divor no fault divorce. Fuck it. Yeah, man.
Wills On The Tank: Mutual mutual understanding amongst each other.
3 god: We ain't working for neither one of each other. Even though I think more of
2: You you got two
3 god: I think more of Lamar fault, to be honest, if you ask me, 'cause I think he should have beat the Chiefs in two in two thousand twenty three if he would have played Lamar Jackson football. But that's here, neither there. But he been getting hurt all the time, no fault divorce. Where you wanna go? Whoever I go to, let me get thr three first rounds, two first rounds and a second round pick and a player. And he got him. Miami be willing
Eric: I ain't mad at that.
3 god: to do it.
smoo: Yeah, I can see him in Miami. Well, you know what?
3 god: Hurt or not. Come back home. We're gonna do it.
smoo: Miami in a tough spot too because they just gave your boy all that money.
3 god: Shh sh pay that nigga, go ahead, pay that nigga to sit on the bench for Lamar. Shit.
smoo: Well, that's I'm pretty sure they're the salary cap because they released Tyreek, they released Tyreek Hill. So
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: that they'll have to probably move a lot of money around. But man, I had a I seen an interesting fact. Well, I actually didn't see an interesting fact. I came up with it myself. Man, Derrick Henry, right? Derrick
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: Henry, when Derrick for the Ravens, and the reason I the reason why I thought about this shit was because I think your boy, your boy Jim Harbaugh, he used to like he used to give Derrick Henry the ball like 14 times, 17 times the game. And it just didn't make no kind of sense to me. So I went and ran the numbers, bro. And every time Derrick Henry has got the ball 80%, 80%, no, 20 carries per game at least, the Ravens have won 80% of those games.
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: And if you look at the if you look at the stats this year, every time Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson playing or not, every time Derrick Henry has got the ball 20 plus times, the Ravens have won. And then when they
Eric: Hmm.
smoo: lost, he got the ball less than like 15 times. So like we sitting here, we're talking about Lamar Jackson, when really the answer is to feed
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: the fucking beast that you got.
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: But for some reason and I I guess maybe because shit, when you get down, you can't really run the ball. You know what I'm saying? So maybe that's
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: that's a factor, but
3 god: Nah, they be up sometimes to run and still pay that bit.
smoo: Man, that shit crazy, man. That shit crazy, bro. That shit is crazy, bro.
3 god: But that's not crazy though. I'm gonna tell you why it's not crazy. Well, it is crazy. No, your fact is on point. I'm gonna tell you why, what the problem is though. That's why I say it need be a mutual divorce. Because the nigga that got that was running the ball, he and he in Cleveland now. The offense coordinator, Todd Monkey. And they were running that bitch. Running that bitch. Had had Lamar get two MVPs, I believe. So then they wanna go more.
smoo: Well nah, it's it's this it's the same thing from this year though, Dink. It's the same stat from this.
3 god: Yeah, I know I'm I'm saying, yeah, even though two but I'm saying, that's why I'm saying with Lamar he wanted another coordinator. it's just mutual, even with that I what basically what I'm saying is I've been thinking everything been basically on Lamar because I remember I told you maybe last year that Jim Harpaugh loved Lamar Jackson too much. I think I was talking to you or my boy James, because it was an interview talking about how he was just having Lamar back, like what you're supposed to do, but it was too far to me. And I think sometimes you just love Lamar too much that you f even even with Andy Reed and Pat. Like, we should have put the ball in Kenneth Walker hand a couple of times on that two yard line play. But you'd be loving your quarterback so much to make the play, make the play, that you forget you got a work horse back there. And so I think that's what 'cause you want that quarterback to have those stats. You want him to be the factor of the game, but you forget you have that workhorse and I think that's where it goes down. So that's just that's why I say I think it should just be a mutual thing. Let let the new regime come in with Jesse Mentor.
smoo: Nigga, we talking about Derrick Henry. You found a way to bring
3 god: That's what I'm saying. I'm agreeing with you.
smoo: your shit up from two years ago to talk
2: Yeah.
smoo: about Lamar Jackson. We talking about Derek Henry.
3 god: That's what I'm saying.
smoo: Nigga, you talking about some the playoffs from two years ago when they played the Chiefs.
2: No, but he's what Smooth what smooth saying is, bro. We ain't saying we just got three goddamn
3 god: I'm loos. I thought I was agreeing with you.
2: clientales in the back. One of them is Derrick Henry. Like, why are we overlooking him like he just a number? You know what I'm saying? That's Derrick Henry back there. What we doing with him?
smoo: Yeah, even just even just the last game, even just the last game play, even just the last game play, he had 11 carries. You know what I'm saying? You look the last three games, I think they lost the last three games. He had under 20 carries the last three games. And Lamar Jackson has not played the last three games. So, how do you not rely on Derrick Henry? So this has nothing to do with Lamar Jackson. He's not playing. How do you not rely on
3 god: No, I was talking about I was talking about before 'cause
smoo: I know what you're talking about, Dean, but we talk I'm talking about we're talking about Derrick Henry, bro. So I'm trying to fit.
3 god: No, nigga, you said
2: Yeah.
3 god: you said it even happened last year and I was bringing up the stats from last year. The fact that I was factoring in what you just mentioned. Did he not guys say what was this happened even last year? This not the first time this it's not a this an ongoing thing. This just not the first three games that happened. So I was bringing up the fact of why I believe that's happening because of the love of Lamar with the previous coach. Now that then falter over into this new regime and it's like, damn, what the fuck going on? I'm aggr I'm I'm 100% agreeing with you. I don't know why why is that why they think they're but to Jesse Miller thing though, these last three games. I mean, what you gonna do when they stack in the box and your quarterback, Tyler Hintley? I mean Hint Huntley. Like, I can't keep giving them the ball. They gotta stack in the box.
smoo: That you're not giving him the ball. That's the pro that's that's my point. You're not giving him the ball.
3 god: I'm talking about out of eleven out of eleven times. he gets
smoo: Yeah, but eleven eleven eleven times is not enough times to to get a running back going.
3 god: That now that's that's especially somebody like Derry Cameron, that's true. Yeah.
Eric: Not not one like him anyway. Yeah, for sure.
3 god: I agree with you on that though.
smoo: And I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna make a a quick I wanna this this this not on the topic outline, but I seen this nigga Rex Ryan. Rex Ryan called out Ashton Genty. He said Ashton Genty was the worst pick in the last 20 years.
2: Huh?
3 god: to the talk.
smoo: He's like he literally said this man was the worst pick in the last 20 years. So
Eric: Sure.
smoo: I did I did a little digging, right? So Ashton Dinty, Genty, he's on pace for a thousand yards this season, all purpose. All purpose. So he had a a thousand yards last year all purpose. In two years, that's two thousand yards. I understand he might not be rushing the ball like that, but he's on track to have two thousand yards all purpose. In his first two years. And then what I did was I went and looked at Rex Ryan record as a head coach. Brother, you have been under 500 your entire career as a head coach.
3 god: Don't do that though, Smoke.
smoo: Bro, let me get my shit out, bro. You have been under 500 your whole entire career. The only two years you have been over 500 is your first two years. You won a Super Bowl in 2000 with the Ravens. And Ray Lewis was that nigga. But for you to be on national TV to talk about how bad this dude is being in two years. When your head coaching career ain't been nothing outside of you voicing your opinion. what if you if you talking about what have you done for me lately? Or what have you done in the past? how how can you sit up and call this man career or saying he the worst pick in 20 years
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
smoo: when he in year two? That's crazy, bro. That's crazy, man.
Eric: Alright, why did that piss you off so bad, Smoo?
Wills On The Tank: Well
smoo: Nigga, he said he's the worst pick in 20 years. That's crazy, bro.
Eric: No that that's a that's a outlandish outtake for sure, but like that shit seemed to have pissed you the fuck off
smoo: Bro, cause the bro, cause Ress run, but Ress run,
3 god: No, it's pissed off hardly.
smoo: he get away with saying these little, these little I ain't I ain't gonna say spiteful, but he get away with these little crazy takes because
Eric: okay.
smoo: of because of who he quote unquote is when he was coaching with the Jets and they had those great two I think they made the playoffs one time and that's when Bart Scott was like, they can't even stop a nosebleed. And the dude was like, see you in Pittsburgh. He was like, Can't wait. that was like they that was like they they big year for the Jets. But outside
Eric: Okay.
smoo: of that, he ain't did nothing. And then
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: you come on, bro. Genty on year two. That's crazy to me, bro. That's crazy.
Eric: Yeah, for him to say that, that is wild.
smoo: They call this man Trent Richardson already.
Eric: yeah, that's crazy.
3 god: Who who who is who was they? You saying he did he call him Trent Richards or was they calling him?
smoo: No, he didn't call him that. That's I seen the internet. They they call him
Eric: All right.
smoo: Vinty
Eric: I do think that that's crazy. That's a crazy take to say. But then when I think about, okay, he ain't the worst pick now. But he he ain't the very worst pick. But it's so hard for for me to respect a running back now. We play 16 games now. So you don't even have to get 100 yards a game and get a thousand yards rushing. You know what I mean? But for him to say the worst pick, I think I I think he ain't he ain't he ain't too far off though, but goddamn. you know what I mean? dude, you as a running back the first the first pick in the draft type shit?
smoo: Man, this is what he said. He said, You're a horrible. You're about the worst draft pick in the last twenty twenty years. I think as a running back, you stink. Those are his words.
Eric: I don't agree with that though. I can't yeah. Let me I'm I don't agree with it.
3 god: So I'm I'm I'm gonna put my scene in this though.
Eric: But I do think it's something to say if you a running back, first
3 god: No we
Eric: round pick, first and you don't got a thousand yards of rushing.
smoo: He had 975 last year.
Eric: Mm. Yeah, as a rookie. That's that's straight. Yeah, that's pretty good for a rookie.
smoo: He had
3 god: He
smoo: 300, he had he had three.
3 god: had it rushing or all purpose.
smoo: No, he had 975 rushing. He had three threesome as passing.
3 god: Right.
Eric: he balled then. He balled in.
smoo: We're receiving. And so this year
3 god: That's what it's
smoo: he having he he got 300 yards and he got 300 yards receiving.
Eric: man, he making it sound like the boy getting f fi five hundred yards rushing. that's all right. They ain't bad for a rookie.
3 god: No, that's that's that's why I was saying so that's why I was saying earlier, but when you was like he not far off, he's very far off to me. like w what we talking about. I don't think I disagree with Smooth though, is I don't
Eric: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
3 god: and my bad, I ain't mean to get in the middle of your take. I just don't like when we say, what you w like who is he to say it, 'cause there's a lot of who is he's I mean, we on this podcast doing his take so he can say who the fuck is we so I don't
Wills On The Tank: Right, right.
smoo: Well, let me hold on, hold on. Well, let me say that though. Let me say that. that's true. We are and and I I shit, I think about these things when I when I have these takes, but my thing is you have a track record. You have a proven track record on a professional level to say that you did not prov you did not perform above the standard. So your track record compared to his track record is equivalent. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, they can people
3 god: No you you
smoo: can But I want to say this though. Yeah, people are gonna attack us all the time. who are you guys? We're gonna get
Wills On The Tank: Right.
smoo: that all the time. If we have these tap talks, when you talk about rap, when you talk about sports. Anything we do, people are gonna attack our credibility. But like I said, if you look at his performance and you look at his performance, they're equivalent.
3 god: Well
smoo: You got it.
3 god: what well, I although I still I agree with you more on that by saying that 'cause even I think that was Shadow McCoy or I can't remember w which one on that that podcast they was just because both of play the same pz p like Shadow McCoy would then mind like a fan saying something because at the end of the day they fans. They you know, but if you actually play the game, he's not belittling nobody, but you can't say I'm garbage and then you won that good. But I I agree I do not agree with Rex Ryan 'cause you can go with Trey Lance. I mean Zach Wilson. The like just
smoo: I'll I'll get it.
3 god: to say you the worst pick ever, I mean, Trent Richardson, like, come on, bro.
smoo: That's kinda that's kinda tough. I'm like I'm I'm like I'm kinda I'm
3 god: Johnny Johnny Manzale,
smoo: kinda weirded out. how did you just pick this guy out the bunch?
3 god: I don't know. That that's
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: crazy. And then he he that's what I was saying, ain't he he ain't trash. he with the Raiders, but he like he trash. Unless he comparing his days
smoo: Cute.
3 god: when he was with Boise State, but it's a lot of guys that be in college that didn't live up to the college hike but still be like okay players in the NFL. And he one of
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: I don't get it. And then, and then what they did was they took carries from Genty. And will Willie, I know we've been on sports for a minute, but
Wills On The Tank: No.
smoo: they took carries from Genty, right? And they gave them to Mike Washington. Mike Washington
3 god: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
smoo: had 23 rushings for 87 yards. You know what the average is? It's the same shit as Genty been rushing for. 3.3.
3 god: Yeah. Yeah, I'm with ya. I I don't get that. I don't know why I don't
smoo: So what the analytics tell you?
Eric: Yeah. That's crazy to film to say that.
3 god: know wha how he came up with that conclusion.
smoo: The analytics tell you that it ain't the running back.
Eric: Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah.
3 god: Yeah, I I ain't gonna say he the worst pig ever. And I can't even go with Bill when he said he might be on track for it, but I I I don't even see I
Eric: I I definitely recant my statement after knowing the facts.
smoo: Well you can't
3 god: Well you re cannot, nigga.
Wills On The Tank: That's good stuff right there.
3 god: Can that my
Wills On The Tank: Alright, said you said. That's a rapper in there, nigga.
smoo: All right, man. Man, on to some on to some music shit, man. On to some music shit, man. Hey, let I'm gonna just skip I wanna we'll skip topic too, 'cause I know Darrell, that's really Darrell shit for real, for real. we got
3 god: What's topic two?
smoo: Kendrick and the Pope out being wasted. I think that'll be some
3 god: damn, I would really talk about that one.
Wills On The Tank: I would I would have loved to hear his take on that.
smoo: Right, right, right. We gotta we gotta wait on that
3 god: I would love to argue.
smoo: one. Even though we could talk about it, I think I think it's worth waiting on him.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah. It's worth waiting on him, yeah, for sure.
smoo: And so the next topic is little baby, is this the last real chance for your boy to let me hear you, let me hear your thoughts, nigga.
3 god: Mm-hmm.
2: I think
smoo: Cause I'm tired of talking about this shit. I'm tired of getting on this bitch every six months and talking about it just the last chance.
3 god: Last thing is you.
Wills On The Tank: Last chance, nigga.
2: shit, I'm willing. I'm willing to let it all bro. At the city, I seen the like the the pre-work for the trailer for it for the album He Man, he
smoo: Yeah, the album roll out? The album roll out?
2: kept saying
Eric: Yeah.
2: he said I know he said I know how I see myself. I know they see me be different. But he said, I know I don't I know what I need to do. I know what I gotta do. I'm rolling, bro. Is it the last chance for little baby? This might be. If he don't give us nothing, he gon' have to accept the way people look at him. And I think that's fair. I think that's fair. But I think he got some. But he he did have a point when he was saying that people put him in a bracket they don't put all rappers in. Which is true, but we didn't put him but he about the we didn't peep they don't say other be the next Wayne either. So he gotta take the bad with the good. Join yourself?
Wills On The Tank: High expectations are here.
3 god: Which he's self proclaimed too.
2: Yeah. Shit. 'Cause he was, but damn, when you don't when you don't meet them expectations, man, you'll meet that quarter, man, somebody be some etchado stuff, man. And shit is everybody. But it was slow though. He also has get has been given the most leeway in a long time. I will say that, 'cause Smooth said, I'm tired talking about this. He's
smoo: Nah, that's true. That's true.
2: 'cause I like, man, that's man, La Bambi he good for one. His spring went in there, here and there, but I think he got showing proved, man. I ain't like this might be the last one for real. Or he might just be another rap after this if he don't show up. I just got confidence he gonna show up. I think he know it too.
smoo: Willio, what's your thoughts, Willio?
Wills On The Tank: in terms of if I think this is his last one.
smoo: Yeah, that's a good that's a good take too too.
Wills On The Tank: man, I I actually I think how old is Lil Baby? He way about 27, 28.
smoo: I think he in his 30s, early 30s.
Wills On The Tank: All right, it's me. Necessarily think that this is his last chance. but I do believe that, and we I think
Eric: He thought it went.
Wills On The Tank: okay, I do believe that we kind of talked about it before. I think sometimes when you kind of like walk away from the main thing, which is the music, I think they do kind of like give people leave way to kind of criticize you a little harder. I still think I still think for the most part, I make I personally think for the most part he's been doing what he's supposed to do. Even when what's the album came out after my turn? I let me see, hold on. So it was my turn, then it was only me. People was kind of criticizing him on It's Only Me. And he to me, that was a fire album. You know, so I don't remember no like no just like no solid like no single hits or nothing like that, or outside of he always had good music to me, but outside of just like a standout song like for hits. But in terms of his this being his last one, I I don't necessarily agree with that. I I think he got a lot of little songs out here that I liked it in the past that people was just just just dogging them all. when he came out with that right on. I like that song a lot. You know what I'm saying? And and people was like, that ain't me, So I think it's just one of those things and I say it all the time, like, man, you you can't really you you can't really please everybody. You know, there's a
smoo: I don't think I don't I don't think that works here. I I I get what you I don't think that works here. I I get what you're saying.
Wills On The Tank: You don't think so?
smoo: I we say it all the time, but I don't think that works here, me personally.
Wills On The Tank: I don't know, man. I I I can't I think I think the type of music he makes, he he does what he does. And you know, he's consistent with the type of music that he makes. I mean, what do people want from him? And and me personally, let let me say this.
smoo: Mm mm. Nah, I don't think I don't think I don't Okay.
Wills On The Tank: Let me let me just say this. People going just if we were wind the clock a little bit and if we go to when he dropped that album, what was that album? is my turn. Well he dropped
3 god: Okay.
Wills On The Tank: my turn. People was like saying that he was the next Wayne. See, that was the wrong step for me at the at that time because I was like, he's not that. He can never be. when you start putting those type of high expectations on people, that nobody's gonna live up to to that. You know what I'm saying? Because he wasn't that in the beginning. He was just a little baby, you know what I mean? And I I just I think he's always been the type of rapper that he is to this day, you know? I watched that interview that he did. I watched it in full. I thought it was great interview. you know, it's just some things.
smoo: The interview the interview he did with the the New York Times.
Wills On The Tank: what was with those with those two guys, those two white guys. I don't know who they yeah, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. I watched that whole interview and
smoo: Yeah, that's the New York Times. Yeah. How was it? How was it?
Wills On The Tank: it was actually a very great interview. It they asked him about, you know, in terms of him, how does he feel about you know becoming more vulnerable in his music? And he was saying, you know, it's certain it's certain places that he's not willing, or the what I gather from it's not he's not really willing to go or He's not gonna allow himself to go vulnerable. And and I think he's been vulnerable on what's that emotionally scarred? What's that song he dropped?
smoo: Yeah, uh-huh.
Wills On The Tank: yeah, so but he was talking about how he he'll he'll flash bits and pieces in the music, but he said he's not really at a point where he won't well he'll go deep and or just let his feelings out. And I that may be that may be part of the issue right there, but for the most part, I think. Honestly, I think he's the type of rapper that he's always been. I I don't expect nothing really, I I don't know what people expect from him. I don't expect nothing more or nothing less from him. he's the type of rapper where you know he makes a certain type of music, and I think he's very, you know, he's very dope at what he does. You know, I I mean, just like he said, like in terms of, you know, they I remember they even asked him about his his writing or creating process. he talked about how he does the punch in thing. And he said he'll probably feel he could go deeper if he was to, just write his music out. But he was like, I I don't want to do that. Or he, in so many words, he would say, I'm not, I'm not gonna do that. I I don't want to do that. this is this is how I create. So if you got me, and it and he's made millions doing what he does. So if you got somebody that's doing that, then what are you what are we expecting from him? I I don't know. I I just I just feel like People put so many expectations on some of these artists where they've been, giving us already what they've been giving us. So I I don't know. I don't know. Am I making sense, y'all? I
smoo: No.
Wills On The Tank: I yeah probably. I I just I
3 god: No.
Wills On The Tank: just I just feel like he is who he is. Like it's it's not just to say he got one more this is your last chance, you know, like.
3 god: No, I'm with you on that though.
smoo: I think
Wills On The Tank: Miguel Sayela is
smoo: you you got it you got it dink. You got it, Dink. Get your shit off.
3 god: I ain't gonna lie, bro, if I was a rapper, I would love T Wheels as a fucking fan, boy. I am not gonna lie to ya.
smoo: No, no, no. I'm gonna say this. Damn, why I don't want to interrupt you. But Willieo
3 god: Go ahead.
smoo: thoughts a lot of times is because he's a rapper, dog. He's gonna always protect the artist's
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: point of view. So that's why I'd be
3 god: I can do.
smoo: like, man, I hear I hear Willieo, but he's gonna always look at it like,
Wills On The Tank: Hey, that that may be fair. That may actually, you know what? I never thought of it that way.
smoo: man, what if I was in their shoes, bro?
Wills On The Tank: And you know what? That is how you know what
3 god: After that one.
Wills On The Tank: that's so crazy because a lot of my takes are that that's exactly how I think. When I when I when I look at the artists or when I watch their interviews, I am thinking about it or when I speak, I am speaking from their point of view. So I and I and I never thought of it that way. So that that might be that that I guess that is the artist in me somewhat. But at the
smoo: Nigga, I know.
Wills On The Tank: same time, that's just how I feel though, you know.
smoo: You got it you gotta think.
3 god: But yeah, like I say, I think, man, if I was a rapper, I would love T Wheels to be my fan, cause that nigga don't care for no no no growth, no nothing. Nigga just say shit, well what more you want from shit? I feel you baby.
Wills On The Tank: That's how I feel though. these guys, and I'm so sorry, D. Let me just get this off the lap and then I'll let
3 god: Go ahead, go ahead.
Wills On The Tank: you let you go. I don't, these guys, it's like, what do we want from them? They they like like what do we want? Like we what what I mean, what you want them to, you know, and and I think it I think it is cool for them to grow and you know have the music, but not every rapper's gonna be Jay-Z and make this transition in their music. Some of these niggas they they come from these certain circumstances they may not even know. Go ahead.
3 god: T T Will. T Will. For you start saying the same shit up there, bro. it's just like that's that's but that would come with being great, bro. that would come with being great. Michael Jordan ain't great because he had one 40-point game. LeBron ain't great because he had one
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: triple double game. Like you it's an ongoing thing. Tom Brady ain't great because he won one fucking ring, even though one fucking ring is damn near impossible. Like that that's what you call greatness.
smoo: like you gotta take the Rex Rhines of the world. You gotta take the Rex
3 god: Right.
smoo: Rhines of the world. You got what we was just talking about earlier. That that comes with it.
3 god: That comes with it. So when you be saying that, I'd be like, nah, even when you be on my side with Wayne, I'd be like, damn, nigga, you kinda killin' my point. You know what I'm saying? if a nigga saying that
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
3 god: Wayne don't have no Grover, and you Man, what they want from the nigga, but I'm like, shit, hold on, T. Wheel, I ain't arguing that point. You know what I'm saying? you killing me. But I
Wills On The Tank: That's just disgust. Mm-hmm.
3 god: but on the baby point, it's the I guess the My thing is this, W what is you asking? What w what's the purpose of you asking, does he need another one for what? As in to like to to uphold his legacy or to basically are you saying that to keep his legacy or to just to keep his spot get his spot back as the number one rapper? so
smoo: I think the I th yeah, I think the the this is the second part. I think his legacy and what
3 god: So the loud.
smoo: he did, the run is already submitted. not submitted, but C minute. I think the run is already C minute. But I think as far as
3 god: You're talking about his legacy.
smoo: Yeah, his legacy is C minute. But I think you can have your legacy C minute. you can win like Sam Darnold, he won at one championship. But it's about climbing the ladder and seeing how high can you go in the in the rankings. Of this rap seat. If that makes sense.
3 god: Well, but that's so that's why I'm asking you, right? Because I'm asking you, what do he need one more for? And if his goal is to be like trying to be on this trajectory of the Wayne's, then yeah, but yeah, that's his last chance because if if you keep making garbage, niggas ain't ain't nobody gonna be checking for you. But if we God damn, I don't let your ass say everything. Go ahead, bro.
Wills On The Tank: But let me say this, D. I'm so sorry. I gotta say this one thing. I'm so sorry, bro. In the interview, he said he basically said, I'm not in it for the love of the game. He said, if I'm not making hits, he said, if I'm not basically, he said, if I'm not making money, then it's no point of me. So you like that's what I'm talking about when we expect so much of this. This man said
smoo: Nah, bro, nah, William.
3 god: Well it's our time out. So
Wills On The Tank: he's not in it for the love of the game like that. So what what what are we expecting from him?
smoo: Bro, bro, no, you keep talking about what we expect. Nigga, LeBron said the same shit. He said the same
3 god: Yeah, in fact.
smoo: shit. These niggas in bro, bro,
Wills On The Tank: If you don't love the game, well how you gonna how you gonna go to the next level, bro?
smoo: bro, bro. You could you could you could take that for what it is. You could take that for what it is. But a nigga who knows sports and you know the game, bro. You not just in it for the fucking money, bro. You in it to be the fucking best. He's saying that.
3 god: Now if you're a star, especially if you're a star.
smoo: He's saying that to protect his inner peace, to protect his mental
Wills On The Tank: Perhaps.
smoo: from when niggas come at him. He not saying
Wills On The Tank: Right.
smoo: that shit just man. I mean just no nigga, he need to be the fucking best. That's why he keeps dropping. That's why he keeps dropping.
3 god: Just just just goddamn LeBron. Say
Wills On The Tank: Perhaps.
3 god: when he when LeBron loses, that nigga start talking about his family, man. My family eating, everybody can like nigga.
2: No, I did I sa but I also saw a piece. I also saw
Wills On The Tank: Yeah,
2: a piece when he said the retirement basic he kinda like he was said something retired. He said, Well ri shit, I really can So if you can really retire and you don't love it
smoo: Not money. It's not money he after, bro.
2: Why you know what I'm saying? He he come on man, he I don't think nothing about babies shows that he
3 god: So this this this month yeah, yeah. So this so if y'all let me finish up.
2: a quitter. Go ahead, Nate.
3 god: No, so if y'all if y'all let me finish up. So this this what I'm basically saying. So it depends on what you saying is his last chance for. Because if it's two if it's smooth narrative well not narrative, but if it me and what me and Smooth saying, then it is his last chance because To reclaim that top spot, niggas ain't gonna fuck with you no more if you put out what's th this gonna be about the third iffy one, if he do that again. Cause he really ain't had a my turn, another my turn at all. So I would say the best
smoo: And that's going on that's going on seven years. That's going on seven years.
3 god: Facts. That's and that's that's when we wear masked up. You see what I'm saying? so but I will say this ain't his last chance for his legacy because you can compare it to fifty cent. I mean, have you reached your peak, but you become you because that peak was so good, you got that legacy, like you said, cemented. So If that's what he ain't but like what Smooth's saying, I don't think that's what he after. So if that's not what he after, yes, this is if that's if it's if he's after of being that top dude again, this is last shot. If he ain't after that and he just like, I'm just dropping shit just to be dropping shit, which I don't think he is, I'm with Smooth, then he cemented far as like, shit, that you know, I gotta, I gotta I gotta get Richard Dietry. I gotta I don't know if he gotta massacre, but I gotta get Richard Dietry and that album is gonna be forever remembered. Unlike top artists, you know what I'm saying? So he got he gotta get Richard Dietry. So he got the peak of the he got
2: Yeah.
3 god: the peak of the peaks. So I guess it just
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: I guess you gotta decide what you think this his last chance for, is my question.
smoo: Yeah, he definitely got the peace of all peaks. Bill, what's your thoughts, bro?
2: Yeah. That's a
3 god: Yeah.
Eric: he gotta produce. He gotta produce. Hands down. He gotta produce. Baby, baby
3 god: Talk to him, Bill. Nigga gotta go for forty, I ain't it.
Eric: gotta go for sixty. He gotta go for sixty. He gotta have a triple double with the sixty.
3 god: Mm-mm.
Eric: Because the people been waiting And he he did he wasn't supposed to be compared to Wayne. We we did we we was wrong, but he also wasn't
Wills On The Tank: Exactly.
Eric: he also wasn't supposed to wear it and walk around with it and believe it himself. That's what he did. And he made it that confidence made us believe. So we now we looking for a baby to be a 80-pointer, a 60-pointer, a nightly 50-pointer superstar from Atlanta, and he only been given a 17. Like No, baby, it's not good enough because you have it in you. So drop it. It gotta be heat and it can't be nothing less. That's that's it. That's it. he he do.
3 god: Time out, Bill. So why why you say he both Why why you think I would see
Wills On The Tank: I don't think he got it in like that.
3 god: Wheels, I don't think he got it. But why you think
2: Fire point, fire point.
smoo: See
Wills On The Tank: I don't.
smoo: but see but
Wills On The Tank: I d and I never did.
smoo: see but that's so
Eric: We don't.
smoo: contradicting, bro. you just was over here protecting
2: Dictory, yeah.
3 god: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: Exactly.
smoo: the artist. You was just over here protecting him and then you like that nigga ain't got it. What?
Wills On The Tank: But no, no, because cause this is what I'm saying. Y'all gotta hear me.
2: He s he he said it from the jump though.
Wills On The Tank: Y'all, y'all gotta hear here how I'm coming
smoo: Okay, okay, okay.
Wills On The Tank: though. It's like this man, when you talk about his interest in the game, he can't he said he was coming into game like, I'm this is something I'm just gonna try to do. why are we gonna put him on Lil Wayne level? Man, let's y'all just let's hear me out for two seconds, bro.
smoo: Nah, bro. Listen, bro. He a hustler, bro. He sells drugs, bro. He not
Wills On The Tank: Exactly, ex exactly. And we we put those same expectations on him as Lil Wayne. When we've been seeing Lil Wayne as a child, we we we little baby said he said he's fresh out of the dope game. I'm just gonna try rapping. Like that's how that was his attitude for it. So how you gonna expect these this this this level of greatness? And and I and I'm not and I actually I love Lil' Baby actually, but I'm just saying like it was the expectations on him was way too much in the first place. Like And now everybody's
Eric: Hmm.
Wills On The Tank: disappointed. I'm like
smoo: Nah, he he he met the expectation though, though. He he did meet the expectation. He might not have met your expectation, but he met my expectations. So that's he met my expectations. I I compared him to Wayne. I
2: He he met the worlds.
smoo: still feel like that was valid. I still feel like it was valid. It might have not been to a Wayne fan expectation because Wayne is y'all's favorite, but the run he was on as a feature run. It's only two or three niggas who didn't did what Lil Baby did. And that's Drake and Wayne. The third nigga is Lil Baby. You can go check the stats on what he did from 2019 to 2023. This nigga killed every feature there was. That's what I'm saying, though. But listen. But bro, it was not,
Wills On The Tank: I I we have to agree. Man, it takes more than that. It takes way more than that to be compared to white. It takes more than that.
3 god: I I I agree. This move up. That that's why
smoo: it was not, it was not the mixtape Wayne that he was being compared to. It was the
3 god: Exactly.
smoo: feature Wayne that he was being compared to. And when you look at his feature run, it's only two or three niggas and then did that. So if you look at those two, three niggas, he not like Drake. He more like Wayne. So why not be like, this nigga could be the next Wayne if you don't got if if there's nobody else in the playing field to compare him to. Why not why
Wills On The Tank: One one time.
smoo: not give him why not give
3 god: Well can I say hold on two minutes?
smoo: him that to be like, hey bro,
Wills On The Tank: Go ahead.
smoo: you know what? You could be the next Wayne. But Wayne fans that took it as like, hell nah, this nigga ain't no little Wayne. We're not saying that. We're not saying that. It's just like, bro, this the little
Wills On The Tank: Yes, exactly.
2: Why it has 75 features?
smoo: nigga that's coming up. Right, right. Yeah,
3 god: Well well but this this
smoo: I remember me and Dink arguing that shit. And Dink like, man, nigga Wayne did a hundred features. Like, bro, I get it, but I'm just saying, like, this nigga got
3 god: No no no no no no.
smoo: 20, he got 25, 25 verses.
3 god: No, no, no, no. Hold on, so let me speak on it. 'Cause I just about to say to Bill for I won't sound contradicting. I'm gonna say ask Bill like why the hell you wouldn't think he could've been the next Wayne for when he had the feature run. But when he had claimed it is when I had got upset about he this not Wayne because he had been in a game for a while. And I'm like, well no, bro, you ain't you ain't doing enough to say you're Wayne, because you've been in the game for a little minute now. He was in a game
Wills On The Tank: Exactly. Exactly.
3 god: he was in a game. Let's see, he started that shit, what, five years? Five years after when he do start doing the the feature. I mean, when did that
smoo: It was twenty nineteen was a little bit before COVID. It was a little bit before COVID.
3 god: No, I'm talking about I'm talking about the when he saying, I'm the name Lil Wayne, what song was that? It
smoo: I don't know.
3 god: when he claimed it on that song. And that's when I got mad. When he was like, they say I'm the name
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3 god: with Lil Wayne and then something like that. And I'm like, no, bro. yo, yo,
Wills On The Tank: No, you're not.
3 god: yo, yo, yo, your numbers ain't good enough now to say that. Now if you the projection to me though, when he was my turn and doing all these features and shit, he was, he he I agree with that. Beecher Wayne not not mixtape Wayne, feature wine. I'm agreeing with you. I'm agreeing with you. I'm talking about where me and you had our argument with that from though.
smoo: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm tripping at is like how can y'all how can y'all be mad? Like if he like my turn is diamond. Like my in the midst of his prime, my turn was diamond, and he went on like a 20-song feature run.
3 god: Yeah, he went crazy.
smoo: Like what the fuck what were we supposed to do?
3 god: I th I I the bridge in the way was cool to me.
Wills On The Tank: My my take is most of the time, almost every single time when somebody says this is the next such and such, it never works out. People have been deeming themselves as the next Michael Jackson for years, and none of them work out. Anytime somebody says, This is the next such and such, that never happens. Check the history. This is the next Tupac, that never happened.
smoo: I don't think I don't think I don't think I don't think it's that's not the that's not the I think that's how it's supposed to go. I don't think it you gotta be
2: T here for
Wills On The Tank: I don't think so. Cause nobody says
2: I think
Wills On The Tank: nobody said Lil Wayne was the next such and such. They just said, that's Lil Wayne.
3 god: Yeah they would. They were saying he could be the next Jay Z. Some people were saying that shit. I heard that before.
Wills On The Tank: I ain't never heard that. I never heard it, but okay.
smoo: What you what'd you say too?
3 god: I heard that's in conversation. They were talking about who could have been better between him and Jay Z. I'm talking about his comparison.
smoo: Yeah, every every every draft year, every draft year niggas looking for the next pain manning.
3 god: Niggas get compared.
2: Yeah, if people get impaired, what should a the highs of the highs get compared, for real.
smoo: every every draft year niggas looking for the next pain man in every draft year niggas you got it too.
2: It's really like a compliment though. We don't like to see out well, you become an outlier. We we like to see down who d who doesn't remind us of they were wasn't fucking what, peewee. They told Bill he was an ace based Sanders, you know what I'm saying? That's just what comes with being create, dog. You know what I'm saying? So I get it. It shit smooth, funny as hell. But but But
Eric: That's that's crazy. Yeah. That might might be proving the point.
smoo: But listen though, but listen though to that point, to that point, to that point, that's a great, that's a great take to you couldn't you couldn't tell me that this nigga built one Barry Sanders. If I'm out here watching this, you couldn't tell me he wasn't the next Barry Sanders. but in the midst of his greatness, I thought it was true. So I don't I
3 god: Where?
smoo: don't see the comparison of saying man,
2: The looseness hit the same.
smoo: you can't do that.
2: Yeah. when Baby was like out
smoo: You s you say what two?
2: That's I was talking about the looseness of Built the Bear. Game.
smoo: Your shit fucked up too. Yeah, I can hear you.
2: You hear me now?
Eric: Yeah. It'll go yeah, we can hear you now.
2: Yeah, I was talking about the lucidness
3 god: Yeah, I I
2: of Bip and Bear. This should make
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, we can hear you.
2: that shit made perfect sense. But just like with little baby, I don't know, during the run, like when it was good, you can't say that it was second or none to anybody. It was probably third in line, but it was second to none to anybody.
3 god: Right.
2: So it I don't know, bro. Just even I think even numbers wise, I don't even know how many albums Wayne got diamond. If you wanna pull that card, numbers wise, you wanna pull numbers wise, I think my t my turn is probably of this genera this central shit, it's probably a top ten album. We put put Erica Badu. We
smoo: No, it is. It is.
2: put Erica Badu up there off of one LeBay really got stake in it. And I don't know too many people that's gonna beat especially not the new generation gonna beat Lil Baby in the verses.
Wills On The Tank: You may lower heel.
2: Lauren here, my baby. I don't know too many people gonna beat Lil Baby in the verses.
smoo: Yeah, well well that
2: The new generation.
smoo: Well, I think my
Wills On The Tank: Yeah we
smoo: my small little take on it is, I guess my question would be to Willio is what if what if he had stopped after twenty twenty three? What if he had retired and there was not no forecast of him doing bad? could we not have had hey man, this could have been. Would it not be w
Wills On The Tank: That that definitely would have been it. It without a doubt, yeah.
smoo: Would it not been the conversation that if he would have stopped after my turn and he would have stopped after those twenty though that that feature run, would that not been the conversation?
Wills On The Tank: It it definitely would have without a doubt. one thing I like to say also is I I like I liked how before Nipsey passed, they used to always try to put him in a box with Snoop. And one thing that I heard him say is they was like, man, you the next Snoop. And he's like, nah, you know, Snoop is the he was like, Man, Snoop is Snoop, but I'm the next Nipsey hustle. And then he said, Man, you never walk in a great man's shoes. And I always kind of that take always kind of stuck with me. I'm like, man. That's true because just not sound like a broken record, in my opinion. I think when you put yourself or when you deem yourself as, I'm the next Lil Wayne, I'm the next, man, that's that's that's like them some huge shoes to feel, whether people were saying it or whether he was saying it. And I I can get the comparisons, he was the the next exciting thing, or whatever, but I I just I just think when you put you put yourself or you almost trap yourself in a box when you put yourself in like, I'm the next great, I'm the next great thing. And from my understanding, just from all the people that I like or that I've did looked up to as great, I never heard TI say, I'm the next Tupac. Or I never heard Tupac say, I'm the next Rockim. They was just like, you see what I'm saying?
smoo: but but yo yo your two two of your favorite rappers did that though, Willio.
Wills On The Tank: Hello.
smoo: Wayne said he was the greatest rapper alive. TI said TI
Wills On The Tank: Since the best rapper retired. That's what he said.
smoo: said he was the king of the South. Like that's what niggas do. They claim shit that don't exist.
Wills On The Tank: But they didn't, but what I'm saying is they never said that TI made TI created his own lane. Luain created his own lane. They wasn't like out here crusading and saying, I'm the next Tupac. You see what I'm saying? Like that, that almost sounds, you almost trap yourself in a
3 god: Well.
Wills On The Tank: in this box that you can't, because you'll never live up to that. You can't recapture
2: Baby didn't baby didn't either though.
Wills On The Tank: that energy.
3 god: Hold up, that's what I'm about to say. I'm not about to let T-Wheel get away with that. Because Babin didn't do that. We did that. People, fans gonna do that regardless. Baby did that after the people was doing that. So don't, you can't say that he was just on the first scene, hey guys, I'm the next Lil Wayne. No, he didn't. He didn't he ain't little twisting the shit. He they
smoo: Mm-hmm.
3 god: we did that. And he was like, so he ran with the alright, cool, I'm the next Lil Wayne. But I do disagree with you saying that that shit never work out, cause that shit either work out for the good and that shit can work out for the bad. Kobe was compared to Ray Allen and he don't play nothing like Ray Allen and he up superseded it. Trey Young being compared to damn Steph Steph Curry, a fair comparison. He still got a good ass career, but he ain't Steph Curry. So you can't say that shit don't never work out. Shit do kind of work out. And then that's when they get created, because like you just said, people were calling Michael Jackson the next James Brown. Since you're trying to say it wasn't no comparison, they was calling him the next James Brown. So no amusing shit with you now. So
Wills On The Tank: Now I I I'm I'm gonna be fair with you, I've never heard that. But I'm you can have that. I've never heard he now, yeah, it was,
3 god: Nigga that was his role model. What you talking about?
smoo: Well, hold on, hold on, well, I'ma tell you this.
Wills On The Tank: but it was, and he danced like he did dance like he got a lot of his moves and all of that, but n I've never heard nobody say this is the next such and such.
smoo: I'm gonna tell you this. And well listen, one of if one of you niggas wine, nigga, AI gonna catch it.
3 god: Mm-hmm.
smoo: Cause that shit get fat checked. When I put the transcript in, it'd
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
smoo: be like, you niggas alive. This shit.
3 god: Hey, get that nigga out of here. Yeah.
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: I've never heard that.
3 god: Yes, he was being compared to James Brown because he can dance. Same, same. Same way. Hold on,
Wills On The Tank: Now he definitely was he he definitely was being compared to James Brown because it because he was taking his moves, yeah.
3 god: hold on. Same way Chris Brown was getting compared to Michael
smoo: We gotta move we gotta move on though.
3 god: Jackson. Niggas get compared. When
Wills On The Tank: That's fair.
3 god: you have a blueprint, that's what you're gonna get compared to. Smooth probably.
smoo: Yeah, I don't I don't I don't think I understand the the sentiment of thinking that people shouldn't be compared. I don't I don't think I
3 god: I don't get that either. Like he said 'cause they get s trapped in a box and I disagree with that.
Wills On The Tank: when you is as soon as you say this person is the next it
smoo: I get what you say, I just don't
Wills On The Tank: don't it's not gonna work turn out that way
3 god: But but I'm saying though, you say do you state
smoo: we shoot for the stars land on the moon.
3 god: you say that in the bad and a good you act like that it's never been a good side to that though. Yeah. It's it's been a good it's been a good side to that and it's been
smoo: Yeah, you had like you say in the bath and the nigga little baby still all the way up.
Wills On The Tank: That's a fact.
3 god: a bad side to that. Michael Jackson was compared to James Brown. He surpassed James Brown. Like it's it's his style ain't even nowhere near James Brown. Niggas get compared to
Wills On The Tank: But little baby hasn't surpassed Lil Wayne in no way in no means safe form or fashion. I'm hearing you go ahead.
3 god: I didn't say you're not you're not you're not hearing me. I said that comparison, you you're saying that comparisons always go left. It can go both ways. Both people overcome them
Wills On The Tank: E quem é?
3 god: comparisons and they they they don't reach the standard of their comparison. it it's it and sometimes the comparison once the longevity of it, the comparison don't even be comparable no more. Kobe was getting compared to Ray Allen, he has no game near Ray Allen. So what I'm saying, Michael Jackson getting compared to James Brown. His style ain't nowhere near James Brown. Chris Brown was getting compared to Michael Jackson. Cause he was dancing. Jason DeLiro was getting compared to Chris Brown. Like people get compared, bro.
smoo: right, yeah, it's it's actually it's actually this this analytic I'll put it in the group message it's this analytic comparison in regards to Michael Jordan and it talks about y'all boys probably already seen it. It talks about it takes a it takes a but a bunch of different metrics. It takes like a hundred different metrics and it takes all those metrics and it compares the the players who are more like Michael Jordan and any other. And number two player is Kobe Bryant. The number one player like Michael Jordan is LeBron James.
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: And so, you know, it's like those are metrics that that you can put together. You know, s if somebody really wanted to do this, they you could put the metrics together and and see who these artists could are compared to in their careers. Like there are metrics to to to to see this shit. So even though you might you might not see it from a from a level of logic, I think even from a from a from an analytical standpoint, I think it is some truth to like who these people are compared to, bro.
3 god: And what and once it
Wills On The Tank: I think it's fair. Go ahead, go ahead, my bad.
3 god: and once again though smooth, those comparisons i is is comparisons whether fair or not. I'm just trying to tell T Wheels it can go left or right. I I give you another example. When we was scouting Pat Mahomes, nigga they were calling Andy Reed Donkey they were saying he's he he was a a J. Cutler or Derek Carr. His game ain't nowhere near that. So I'm saying like it can go left and or right. Like it ain't nothing wrong with comparing. you making it sound
smoo: Right.
3 god: like it's just man, if you compare and they in the box is over with for them. I'm like, no, it's just shit. He look like he play that way or it look like he don't, but you can supersede that shit.
smoo: Right. Man, on the oil profits, on the oil profits during the Iram war, man. Man, don't y'all know that since the Iram war, gas companies have made over a hundred and thirty billion dollars in profit.
Eric: Hmm. A
Wills On The Tank: What are you doing?
Eric: hundred and thirty billion. How long has war been going on?
smoo: think the last two two two years.
2: Peace.
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: You see don't get by.
smoo: The last two years.
Eric: 130 billion. So that's what 65 billion a year? Sheesh. Man, look, with them type of with them type of profits, man, they're gonna keep the war going on. With them profits, man. Right, right. With that
3 god: Hell yeah yeah. Nigga start saying, Hey you you hit me but I can hit them type shit.
Eric: type of money, they gonna they gonna figure out how to keep it going on. what? See, that's crazy. I didn't know that.
3 god: Nigga might go put a kick
smoo: Yeah.
3 god: me sound on the back of somebody tooth. I can give part of that profit. Shit. That seems crazy.
Eric: Right.
smoo: But I think what's even crazy is how you can't tell if you niggas are price gouging or not. You know what I'm saying?
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
smoo: Like we we we on the other side. We we're the ones that's involved in the inflation, the you know, the interest rates. We on the other side and like, you know, they're making a hundred and thirty billion in profit.
Eric: Yeah. We the consumers.
smoo: And you can't really it's nothing you really can do about it. You know what I'm saying? If you I guess I guess the only thing is if you can't beat join
Eric: Well what you mean by join What you mean by that?
smoo: Shit, nigga, you in stocks? Huh? Hey, that nigga that nigga hey, that nigga
Wills On The Tank: I was just I was literally just thinking that you just start buying up stocks. Yeah. Invest in the stocks.
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: Bill lowered his head like.
3 god: Hey.
Eric: I mean, she shoosh. We paying the man. Hey, it
3 god: See, we we paying the man? What's his expill?
smoo: Yeah,
Eric: is kind of messed up though. I watched this show called Billions. And there was this episode where and the is backstory of the context of the show is they are are they are these fun these hedge fund giants, these stock market giants and this is a guy named Axelrod and this other guy I forgot the name guy named Chuck who's trying to take him down but anyway there was this tsunami that hit Ta Taiwan I think in the show and they had bought stake in whatever company was in Taiwan at the time. But if you bet on a put, that means you bet that the s company is gonna fall and they're gonna j go down. But if you bet on if you bet on the options call where you're gonna bet the stock go up. Anyway, to the tsunami hit, she get flooded out in Taiwan. And they were like in this bar and people were like so sad, you know what I mean? And and they and of course everybody that invested was just sitting there people died bro. You know what I mean? People it was a tragedy, but these people walked out of that building and started jumping up and down hooray. They just got super rich.
Wills On The Tank: Right.
Eric: They betted that the stock would fall. And that, bro, that just put some on my a different level of thought in my mind. Like what with what you're saying, smooth, war. Somebody, of course, you know, RIP to the people and the soldiers that are there and the people who are being bombed and with just the tragedy that's happening. But somebody is sitting behind them, this the disc and they are reaping the benefits and they are getting paid.
Wills On The Tank: Somebody else tragedy is somebody else's blessing. They call it a, I think they call it a serendipity.
Eric: Man, what? And that is so scary to think about.
smoo: I wouldn't even use I wouldn't even use the word blessing.
Wills On The Tank: it's it's I think that's the word a set a serendipity,
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: where you can take advantage and I may have to look the word up, but it's like where you could advantages,
Eric: No, I
Wills On The Tank: advantages of a tragic situation can fall in your favor. Almost kind of like COVID. So many people, lost
smoo: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: their lives in COVID, but you see this explosion of things also started
smoo: No.
Wills On The Tank: happening on the flip side. you see people even even just to just the this is I always say rap to me is an entry level of certain things, but y'all remember when Tori Lanez was going crazy with the with the quarantine radio. Like you're
smoo: And and the NFTs. Y'all remember when n
Eric: Yeah. Yeah.
smoo: niggas thought them NFTs was the next thing. But
Eric: F was the next thing. NFTs
3 god: See, burst Burst is
Eric: Right. Meanwhile,
Wills On The Tank: Right.
Eric: meanwhile, stock companies like NVIDIA, Apple, all of these moths was dirt cheap. AMD. That was another distraction. GameStop was a distraction. Like I
smoo: GameStop. Y'all remember how they they showed GameStop and all of that? Yep. Those corners.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, I remember that. I remember that. Remember that?
Eric: who? Well another distraction. Look, these boys.
smoo: Dogecoin. Boy. Well, I had boy my shit
Wills On The Tank: Bitcoin. yeah, yeah. That was a thing too. Yeah.
smoo: was going down. I was like, boy, I'm at 15,000. I'm at 15,000. Boy, I checked that shit two hours later. That shit would have
Eric: Yeah. But maybe
smoo: 67.
Wills On The Tank: Are you kidding me? my goodness.
Eric: That's crazy, bro. cra it's crazy, bro.
smoo: Hell no, I'm not kidding. But that shit was crazy.
Eric: I'm telling you. There was a distraction, bro. I think I personally think they do stuff like that on purpose. You know?
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
3 god: see, that just zoom.
Eric: Nah, that's so true.
smoo: what as far as a distraction as as what? What do you mean?
Eric: I think I think because social media culture and how we see things and how we get news is kinda so surface level. that you you advertise it to us and then niggas just go jump on it. if you tell somebody Dogecoin GameStop they they ain't studying the company. They ain't trying to figure out who the CEO
Wills On The Tank: They just they just move,
Eric: is, what how long he been with the company, what are profits, what are net losses, what is, you know, they ain't figuring that out. So if you just tell niggas Doge is the thing that's happening right now, niggas is gonna jump on it until it ride it until it fall. And we gonna be last to Get our money out. It's like, bro, that's a distraction. Cause the real things is NVIDIA. The real company that was b popping back then was AMD Taiwan Semiconductor. the real tech things. these people been knowing that, COVID happened. Everybody's gonna go remote. Chip stocks are gonna start jumping up. We're gonna need these chips. We're gonna need these computers. We're gonna need all this AI's coming. These people knew about AI. fifteen years ago. They've been on
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: yeah, is it like
Eric: they been on these companies. Like that's they they just distracting us. They've been distracting us. So, you know, I just think that I mean this is a good topic to talk about, but Jesus. I don't even know where I was going with that, but yeah.
3 god: Yeah, just people just people gonna profit off disasters, bro. but
Wills On The Tank: Right. Since somebody
Eric: for sure. For sure.
3 god: it can it can go simple as funeral homes. it's a shit. You know what I'm saying?
Wills On The Tank: Exactly. I I remember me and
Eric: Sh that's a good point.
Wills On The Tank: you a couple years ago, D. I remember I think, and I don't know if you remember this conversation. This is when you was in criminal justice. I think that's what your major was at the time. And I think me and you huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So
3 god: Yeah. I'm gonna feed. No, it's bad, big.
Wills On The Tank: and I think I was trying to tell you, I was like, man, jail is business. And you was, I think you was trying to go against it. no, it's like you was, I think you were saying no, it's not. And
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: That's that sound about white.
Wills On The Tank: But I was I and I didn't really and sometimes I have a very hard time articulating myself or wanting to get my point across. So, but at the time I was just trying to say, it's business and you know, we get you get some of these guys, they get the people that's locked up, they get free labor. You know, think about all the money that that goes into, you know, even with people yeah, I guess sending books, you know, paying for you know, paying for their commissary and you know.
Eric: yeah, for sure.
Wills On The Tank: Even I even heard I even heard this one guy I was watching 60 Days In. I don't know if y'all ever seen that show before, but you know, they be like playing like they criminals, but they really just go inside 60 days to kind of like get intel on the inmates and then they'll report it back to the boss and stuff like that, or report it back to the real police about what's going on in these in these in these jails. And
3 god: Mm-hmm.
Wills On The Tank: one of the guys was kind of like he was kind of like four. He was more of an advocate, even though he was re he was he was still telling on the inmates, but he was also advocating for the inmates because he he was saying, some of these prices in terms of, them making phone calls and, different little things like that. he's like, it's it's pretty much breaking them. And so just by that inside knowledge that he was gaining, I was like, Yeah, they really make it bake off these people. You you know what I mean? So
Eric: Wait, wait, wait. So these this is a show where these people would go in, they weren't actually criminals, but they were in the jail
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Eric: and they were like a d min mingling amongst the population in jail. wow.
Wills On The Tank: Correct. Yes. Yes. It's called sixty, it's called sixty days in. And what you what you do is let's just say you may have a regular person like you and I, or it may be like a security guard or somebody who may be close to law enforcement, at the very least. they'll they'll
Eric: Hmm. Yeah, I get what you're saying. I get it. I get what you're saying.
Wills On The Tank: put them in, they'll put them in for 60 days and now have them mingle amongst the amongst the other inmates. Now some of you know, a a lot of criminals are very intelligent. So, you know, sometimes they can kind of sniff. your story ain't together, if you, you just you just not talking the right talk and stuff, they they like it's, they snip some people out, in which case they actually have to pull some people out. But,
Eric: Hm.
Wills On The Tank: a lot of times, you know, they're just going in there, you know, telling them, you know, basically getting inside intel that the law enforcement can't really get into, you know, what happens, you know, behind the dorms at nighttime, you know, drugs
3 god: Nigga nigga nigga watchin'
Wills On The Tank: and
3 god: nigga watching undercover balls jail edition ain't watching bruh
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, but it's it's really a cool show though. It's really a cool show.
Eric: I gotta check that out.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, I
Eric: But hey, but them prison people, they dead that's definitely on point what we talking about because that's profiting off somebody's pain, somebody's you know somebody's
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Eric: tragedy. So yeah.
3 god: If I if I said it wasn't the NT Wheel, that probably some shit they just told me in class 'cause I definitely believe that.
Wills On The Tank: I remember we was going back and forth. I remember he was like, bro, I'm in criminal justice. And I was like, and I was
smoo: Nigga. That ain't got nothing to do with no goddamn class.
3 god: I guess more.
Eric: I think
Wills On The Tank: like, all right, man. I can't remember
3 god: Well
Wills On The Tank: because I didn't really know how to make my point at the time. So it looked like he was winning. Then he had the more powerful voice and stuff like that. I was like, all
smoo: Nigga, that's not that's that's not like what we were just arguing last week.
Wills On The Tank: right, man.
3 god: No man, shut your ass up smooth. No, but beep peep
smoo: Hey man,
3 god: go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
smoo: what I was gonna say, I wanna just be the last topic. I think you had said something about it last week. it's kind of in relation to the same shit we talking about. but you was talking about the the power grids. And you know, I don't if y'all been seeing a lot about, you know, it's really like a lot of a lot of fearmonger talk.
Eric: My power went out just now.
Wills On The Tank: Okay.
3 god: That's a nigga here.
smoo: But yeah, you know, you know, that's that's a that's a big topic these days. especially considering the Iran and you know the war and shit like that and like yeah, AI, but more so Yeah,
Wills On The Tank: A yeah. Yeah.
smoo: yeah. I mean, yeah, definitely AI, but just you know, it's so crazy. It's so crazy. I I'm gonna go off topic a little bit. I seen somebody say something about was a a female, she was like, what scares me is nuclear war. And and I think nuclear war is so that I don't even think I don't even think that's like a real thing at this point. Because there are so many different wars that are possible. You know, when you think about cyber attacks, you think about food, you think about
3 god: That's what I was gonna say.
smoo: you what'd you say?
3 god: I say yeah, that I'm I'm I'm saying yeah.
smoo: Yeah, it's so many different type of wars. you know, you could attack financed financial institutions and stuff like that. I don't even think the idea of a nuclear war is even like at the top anymore. And which is even more scarier because like it's wars at place that you don't even see or can't even prepare for. And so like as of now, like the big thing is is like you know, the n the the the Pentagon, they had put out this this thing about like, hey, they're preparing the military for like 90 days or whatever the case may be. And so my question to you guys is, could you survive 30 days without a power grid
Eric: Man, absolutely not. Absolutely. A power grid? No, sir. We is not surviving. Everything I know is on a power grid. A light switch, a TV, a air conditioning, a heater, hot water? that's on some type of grid, bro. not even that. But bro, what am I gonna do? If I like if I what what what am I gonna do if all if I can't if I ain't I go to work. you been telling me everything off? what am I gonna do with my life? Bro, yeah, nah, I ain't surviving, bro. I don't like I don't know how to form. I'ma keep one. I don't know how to farm I don't know how to survive in the woods. I've never been camping for real. Like everything, nah, bro. I'm done for bro. I'm done.
Wills On The Tank: That's actually a scary thing to think about. And I don't know,
Eric: Yeah, it is.
Wills On The Tank: I don't know if y'all ever seen this show. And we we always joke about, I and I I I'm I'm notorious for this when I watch certain shows.

Wills On The Tank: day I really really I'm talking about I really had a real sit-down even just the privacy of my thoughts and I was like my goodness if if I was in that situation for 21 days I wouldn't know how to survive and I knew I I knew personally I was personally done when I saw I saw they had they had they had approached this water they had this field of water and And I knew for a fact if I had been there, I would have immediately drunk it. Especially when they haven't had water going on close to two, going past two days. I did not know, I did
Eric: Well you head out to my question.
Wills On The Tank: not know you had to boil the water. and I said and that's something as that's basic, that's basic survival stuff when you're in the wild like that. You know what I'm saying? So I was like,

3 god: You got wal you got water, flashlights and all that shit.
Eric: Hey, where you get it from though? okay.
smoo: I got it from Amazon. I got like a a a kit. I got like a kit. I got all that shit. And I think I think what made me even more take shit like this serious was kids. You know what I'm saying? Like I think like I think that that that
3 god: Okay.
Wills On The Tank: Man, that's too weird.
smoo: shit made me take it a lot more serious. Like ever since a kid, like I always like like had this and that this is this is a topic I ain't never really talked about. But I always had like this or been interested like in like well not even necessarily interest but like thought about like doomsday type shit. You know what I'm saying? So it's like a
3 god: On a gag type shit.
smoo: it's like a piece of me that's like, hey if this happened, like of course I'm not like I'm not planning on no shit like that happening. And like this ain't no topic that like you really talk about. But like I remember Nigga, I still remember this day, Bill. Nigga, you could watch this. We went to the beach. We went to
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: the beach and we we were me, you, Vic, we went to the beach and they was having a bonfire at the beach. You remember that shit?
Eric: Mm-hmm. Yeah, so like it was like a like a rally, a pet rally or something like that.
smoo: Yes, the military it was the military people or some shit. And this girl, this girl, we was 18 years old. She said, she told us at the beach, she said, Yeah, China has missiles that can knock out our power grid. She said that shit when we was 18 years old. Nigga, that shit
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: has been on my mind since I was fucking 18 years old. So it's just like little
Eric: That's crazy. Yeah.
3 god: See
smoo: shit like that. bro, you have to. I'm not necessarily saying I'ma be prepared for no shit, but shit nigga, if we got we don't have power for four or five days, nigga, we finna be eating MREs. You know
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: what I'm saying? And if see whatever
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
smoo: happened after four or five days, shit, hey, it is what it is. You know what I'm saying? But nigga, for the first
Eric: Yeah. It's better to have it than not.
smoo: yeah, see, the power might come on on the sixth day. You know what
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: I'm saying? And then like I think like niggas gotta have generators. You know what I'm
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: saying? So it's like it's like you can say you're not prepared for it, but at the same time, it's like you might not be prepared for 30 days, you might not be prepared for 60 days, but it is like little stuff you can have to be prepared for a week. You know what I'm saying? That ain't gonna it ain't gonna cost you a lot of money or no shit like that. And that's why the topic was like was interesting to me because niggas don't talk about this shit. niggas
Wills On The Tank: They don't, they don't. And it's actually
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: Niggas don't talk about this type of shit at all.
3 god: Well
Wills On The Tank: good it's actually good to talk about like to break because and you know what? I'm gonna tell you not not to cut anybody off. I heard Umar, Dr. Umar talk about this in an inter in an interview a couple maybe a couple months ago. And I I think I actually put it in the group chat. But he was talking about like how I wanna say that he said some I won I don't know if he said it was in Michigan. Yeah.
3 god: This no, that was recent. That was recent.
smoo: yeah, yeah. no, no, you're talking about
3 god: You talking about Gary, Indiana.
smoo: Gary, Indiana. Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: That's what it was. Indiana. Yes. He said the power went out for like two weeks. And and what he was proposing is that was a controlled experiment. according to him, he was saying that that's in that particular area, that's where black people are. So he was just saying, like, you know, that may have been an experiment as to, you know, to try it out to see how it how it could affect other people when they try to do go, I guess for the real thing or whatever. But It sounded crazy, but at the same time I was like, wow, that that actually makes sense as to what he's doing. And so from that point on, that that was something to really think about. And it was somewhat spooky, dang, we we we're so dependent.
smoo: Yeah, but I think that's that's what I'm saying though. I think it's spooky to a certain extent. it's like a lot
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
smoo: of stuff I think is just being prepared a little bit, you know what I'm saying? Of course we can't we
3 god: Well, if I ought to give my
Wills On The Tank: Right, right.
smoo: can't stop the inevitable inevitable about anything, but at the same time, these niggas out here prepared, you know what I'm saying? So why not prepare ourselves just a little bit? I'm not saying I I I seen some crazy shit one time, bro. I went to this house. This is about five years ago. I seen some crazy shit. Went to this dude's house. And this kind of like this contradicts everything, everything that we're talking about. I went to this dude's house. my company, we were trying to buy the house. I went to the dude's house. This nigga had, he had over, I would say, 200 gallons of water in his crawl space. Maybe even more than 200 gallons, but like gallons. That you get from the store, he had over 200 gallons of water. Now, the contradicting part is the nigga died before the doomsday shit happened. But he was prepared for if doomsday did happen. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, that's life. Yeah, but that but that's that's the that's how I go. That that's well, but no, but to
Eric: That nigga made his dooms before the day. Hey, that is wild though.
Wills On The Tank: Hey man. He he had the right thinking. I think he had the right thinking though.
smoo: the contrary part of that that thought is Willie, yo. he was so prepared for doomsday that sometimes you could be so scared of shit that you don't even really live life.
Eric: You don't even You don't focus on the real thing.
Wills On The Tank: or or neglect your own self. Don't me and you talk about that before, Bill. I was like,
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: man, we I think I s even said this on the pod before me and Bip talked about this like one of the last times we was like physically together. It's like, man, niggas would like go by big guns, you got all this security stuff, but you'll sit in the house by yourself and you can like you can drink and smoke yourself to death. Or you know, or like, you know, you know, like. It is like at the end of the day, you can be more harmful to yourself. we protect ourselves from the outside world and we forget how we are our own enemy sometimes. So
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: that's basically what we was getting at. And we
smoo: Right, right.
Wills On The Tank: was laughing, we was like laughing and joking about it, but at the same time, it's like
Eric: Mm-hmm.
Wills On The Tank: that's a real thing. you you sometimes
Eric: Yeah, for sure.
3 god: My thing.
Wills On The Tank: you can hurt yourself more than the way you more than the way you try to protect yourself.
Eric: Yeah.
2: That's
3 god: My take on that, y'all ever seen the
2: us.
3 god: movie The Last House?
smoo: Mm-hmm.
3 god: kinda simil well it's not
Eric: good.
3 god: similar it's similar but it's not
Wills On The Tank: Were they locked up for a week or were they they was locked inside?
Eric: That's the dinosaurs
3 god: Yeah.
Eric: and shit, right?
3 god: Yeah, no, that's not that's not at all.
Wills On The Tank: Okay. Okay.
3 god: not at all, Bipper. But
smoo: Fucking up that nigga point.
3 god: in the words of my nigga too, nah, it ain't bruh. Nah, but nah real talk but it
Eric: No. Nah.
Wills On The Tank: Ha ha ha.
3 god: was like some some a alien sea creatures or whatever had kinda locked everybody in their house. And of course it went
Wills On The Tank: Sorry, I see them.
3 god: it went on for days, months, whatever, and the people they start you know, kinda baiting, you know, rodents outside the house, bringing in the house. they would
Wills On The Tank: Save it. Sorry.
3 god: they would go, Hey boy, you saw one more time
smoo: Hey Bill, hey, what hey Deep Deep, tell that nigga you you making up a movie.
Wills On The Tank: No, I I know I know exactly what you're talking about then because I seen it. I seen it not too long ago.
3 god: Hey, hey, hey, I ain't never I ain't never seen that movie Smooth. Saw that what you saw? Cause I ain't seen it yet. No, but they they start of course they start doing their own agriculture in their house from lifting up the wood in their crib, building stuff, and you know, they survive. but to answer the question is no, I wouldn't survive. And I think a lot of us wouldn't survive because our mindset is trained. everything we do is basically electronic. Everything. So yeah, you might have that 1%, you might have that LeBron James of the world at 1% that might be ready. But I always I'm gonna tell you something like this. Even in them type of movies, I always wonder, do I really care for being the one to survive? them sc them movies where they have World War Z, I am legend, all that shit. It's like do I run so much to the point I just might have to jump out that bitch say fuck it? 'Cause that actually what that that
smoo: Man, fuck man.
3 god: actually what happened that actually what happened that
Wills On The Tank: That's kinda to me it's kinda Go ahead, go ahead, sorry.
3 god: actually what happened in the movie. Well not the little boy was like tired of just being locked up. He was like fuck it and tried to leave, but of course his parents stopped him. And so hey but
Wills On The Tank: He sure did. He sure did. I remember that.
Eric: Well dang.
Wills On The Tank: It's kinda to me, to me, I I'm not gonna lie. When I think about it.
3 god: I think I'm messing up my tape, man!
smoo: Hey, let him let him finish his point. Rulio, let him finish his point, bro.
Wills On The Tank: go ahead, go ahead.
3 god: I'm about to say, man, let your ass talk for twenty minutes, T But yeah, that
Wills On The Tank: My bad, man. I get excited, man.
3 god: Yeah, it's just to the point where I I I know I won't survive, so I'm not gonna even act like it. I would do the shit like Smooth got 'cause like you said at first, when you got them kids, they do make you be like, let me 'cause I even start stacking up like little flashlights and shit, like, you know what I'm saying? But somebody knocked on the door the other day and they was like, You need to get a gun.
smoo: Are you ready for Jehovah's Return?
3 god: What?
Wills On The Tank: Hey, I actually wake up and think about the and I'd be waking up scared sometimes.
3 god: Else that be from the ring camera smooth. But now though, it's just like you like like even me, I don't even have a gun. And niggas like, nigga, you need to have a gun. You don't never know what might happen. So but you know, I don't know. You just know, bro. I know I won't survive though, cause everything I do is electronic base. I just hope I make I
Eric: Hey, I think
3 god: just hey Bill, I just hope I make it before that damn duo come. You heard me?
Eric: Right, right, right. There you go. Hey,
2: YERB!
Eric: look, what what what what what happened is all
3 god: Little bit.
Eric: us gonna have to get together. Look, one of us got the food, somebody get a gun, the guns, somebody got learn how to agriculture, somebody grab the water. Nigga, that's how we gonna survive is if we stick together. That's that's the only one we're gonna survive.
smoo: But listen though, but see the thing, hey, but listen, but
3 god: Well well smooth got the water. Smooth
smoo: listen though, the thing about all that shit is
3 god: got the water if he got the ball back out.
smoo: nigga, I be thinking about some shit like that. okay, say something happened, but shit, nigga, we so far away from family and friends. Nigga, you and Milwaukee. You on your own dog.
Wills On The Tank: Part yeah, that's that's yeah, that cancelled it out.
Eric: So hey, where go wh where the meeting spot gonna be? Nigga.

Wills On The Tank: think about this though when Katrina hit like you know like people was like two three weeks maybe even longer without water you know in some
Eric: Mm-hmm.
Wills On The Tank: places like or how how did we survive then like you get what I'm saying Bill like and and and we really think about and and again
Eric: Yeah.
2: Hey, I got appointed by Katrina too.
Wills On The Tank: yeah, let me just get this off real quick. And you know, I I also hate to say this, but it was a lot of tragedy. But at the same time, man, it was a lot of I can think of a lot of good times that we had, even when those down weeks that we had, like in like my cousins that we don't see much now, you know, like man, you know, Keela and all them and stuff like that. That we was like really close at those time in those times, you know what I mean? And like
Eric: Yeah, for sure. For sure.
Wills On The Tank: We really was like sticking together, with my aunties and my mom and
smoo: I think that's ca I think that's cause it's temporary though. that's a different that's a different that's a different that's
3 god: Yeah, yeah, thanks. Thanks.
Wills On The Tank: That perhaps. Yeah, yeah.
smoo: a different scenario for real for real. We talking about we talking about some some nigga not knowing what's gonna happen.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
2: Yeah.
3 god: Hey Yeah, you talking about nigga this is it, the rest of your
Wills On The Tank: Yeah,

Wills On The Tank: yeah, yeah. That's true. That's true.
3 god: nigga hey hey Smooth, that nigga's that nigga see, I ain't hear smooth two talk. My bad you a little delayed too, my bad.
2: But see, even for Katrina, my bad, even for Katrina, it was a vet. It was a vet I was talking to. He was saying how he was prepared for Katrina, but he didn't. He was prepared for Katrina, but he didn't prepare for Katrina. He just had his stuff on standby, enough to survive the, the, the, the, I was
Eric: Damn.
2: like, I looked at him. Nobody I'm at work somebody. yeah, that's dope. That's good. I'm like damn But what made you want to be that or you know, what are you preparing for? But yeah, I believe in myself right now. What am I unprepared for? You know what I'm Damn starting to lay
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Eric: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
smoo: Mm. Yeah. Yeah, I think
2: But it's invited but
smoo: that kinda go back to my point. I think I think I don't think it's nothing wrong with just having a little bit of something. Like, you know, my I ain't gonna
Eric: Yeah, fast.
smoo: be like Buddy and have two hundred water bottles and none no shit like that, but I damn sure got a little small solar generator, you know what I'm saying, that just hey, she'll
Eric: Yeah. Yeah.
smoo: cook something for a couple of days, you know what I'm saying? A little
Eric: So
smoo: a little hot plate, you know what I'm saying? Like Like me said, I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to be the last nigga on earth, but she nigga, I'm I'm I'ma get a money out this bitch.
3 god: Mm.
Eric: I'ma see what's happening.
3 god: You got that sol what you got that solar generator, what'd you what you
smoo: Hey look, you hey look Bill to you you might you might you might make it to a butt and be like man what is then nigga the whole earth just repopulate on day thirty one. Nigga, I'm gonna take as long as I can now.
Eric: Yeah. You're right. I
Wills On The Tank: And when you when you kind of put when you kind
Eric: ain't going there without a fight.
Wills On The Tank: of put things in perspective, that you can kind of even apply that. It and this ain't that, but it's kind of is at the same time. You can kind of apply that to like how people grind and hustle for money. You know, like people go so hard to like to accumulate every dollar, and then you could just croak, and then you end up leaving that money to somebody else who really don't give a darn and they just blow it. You you get what I'm saying? Am I making sense?
smoo: Yeah, that happened on that happened on National Lapoon. Y'all remember remember them movies? The nigga won
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
smoo: a lottery and had a heart attack when he won the lottery.
Eric: And that's
Wills On The Tank: Meh
Eric: what happened to that day, Mama.

Eric: Yeah, like daddy mom dad hit the ladder and she had a heart attack.
Wills On The Tank: Coming on Friday? wow, I missed that.

3 god: Yeah.
Eric: next Friday, yeah.
smoo: nah, that's what Day they say. Mike L
Eric: Yeah. Yeah, she yeah, she had a heart attack, man. Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: wow. Wow.
3 god: But but honestly
2: That's how sugar came about.
3 god: though, is is niggas really Facts. Facts. But honestly though, is is niggas really really like we say all this stuff, like Smooth got his stuff, is is niggas really prepared for the the I guess the is niggas really prepared
smoo: No.
3 god: for what's the what's well the vicissitudes of life anyway? Like
smoo: No.
3 god: that's what I'm saying, like how
Eric: Not even close.
3 god: can you? Like it's always
Wills On The Tank: And and you know this
3 god: It's always ups and downs. you never like you just never you never know.
smoo: Yeah, I th but I think shit it always go back to the alchemist for me. it always go back to my nigga Santiago. That nigga Santiago, they made that nigga go around the the castle. He went around the castle, he had a fucking spoon in his hand. He told him to pay attention to the spoon and don't let the egg fall. I think it was some shit like that. He had some water in it or something. He made that nigga
Eric: Mm-hmm. Oil.
smoo: go around the building and he said, Hey, what did you see? Say, shit, I ain't see nothing, nigga. I was I was focused on the fucking egg.
Eric: Fucking on the buttons again, right?
smoo: And then they told him to go back around and and focus on everything you see. And he's like, what do you see? well, the egg fill. And they told the nigga to pay attention to to the egg and pay attention to everything around you. you can't be too focused on one or the other, bro. You can't be too focused
Wills On The Tank: That's definitely good stuff right there.
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: on one or the other, dog. I don't think no there's
Eric: Balance.
smoo: there's no there's no it's no in-between when it comes to that. You can't be too focused on one or the other. So like I said, my boy who had the the gallons of water under He went under before the doomsday. So
Wills On The Tank: Man, that that that make that remind me of that movie Click. have y'all I don't know if y'all ever seen that movie before, but you know, like just like what you said about the alchemist, his Adam Sandler's character was so focused on getting to that next level in life, or just you know, you know, just just being successful. All he really wanted to do was just be successful for his month for his family. But he was so focused on getting to that next level in life that he had this remote and he sped it, he sped up life. And before he knew it, he missed his he missed the time with his wife. He missed his his kids that grew up. And before he know it, he was sickly on his bed. Man, that movie is so funny, but at the same time, it's so sad at the same time. And luckily, he got like another chance.
Eric: Fancy.
Wills On The Tank: He got like another chance to like do it over. But like that's kind of like that, you know, that same thing as to what you was talking about, Smooth. Like, you know, if you focus, you focus too, you know, you can It in this hustle culture, they tell us man, focus on the money. You can sleep when you die, nigga. But that's not a real thing because if you got kids and family, your can your family can hate you because you because you on this crusade trying to be great. You know what I'm saying? And you let's just say you get the greatness, but then you hurt your family so bad in the in at the end, just like what that dude did in the click. And it you know, I don't know, man. It's like You do gotta have that balance. but then again, if you if you got the balance, that might mess you up from being the greatest ever at the same time. So it's like, it's almost like you gotta choose. You get what I'm saying?
Eric: Yeah. I know I know that's why the Kobe's and the LeBrons of the world, I think that's why they s stated Tom Brady here, he lost his whole
smoo: Tom Brady. Tom Brady. Tom Brady.
Eric: family. So, that that's why they say what they say. It's like, yo, it takes a lot of sacrifice. Are you willing? Shannon Sharp talk about it. I don't know this is another topic, we're probably going way off somewhere else, but yeah. Say what?
3 god: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
smoo: That nigga Bill said it's hot tomorrow.
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: That nigga Bill said it's hot the mud.
2: Hey, the nearest person can be your lead coach.

2: I said the nearest surgeon can't be a silly coach. can buy it on every one you want though.
