Grammy Awards Discussion: Beyonce vs Billie Eilish

00:02:36
Sedaya Keita
About time.
00:02:37
bsmoove
You feel me? Super dope. I think she came into the night with, I think it was like 11 nominations. Definitely the most nominations of the of the night. ah Walking in 90, the most winningest woman in Grammy history.
00:02:53
bsmoove
Laugh out. stamped not only with Album of the Year, but Best Country Album of the Year shocked everybody, including herself.
00:03:00
Sedaya Keita
Yeah.
00:03:03
Sedaya Keita
yeah
00:03:03
bsmoove
I mean, yeah i mean and like you it was about time. You feel what I'm saying? It was about time. yeah i mean And then she didn't and then she won she won a couple times too.
00:03:14
bsmoove
She won Best Album. She won and tree Country Duo.
00:03:18
Dylan Fields
Yeah, she was like three, right? Three.
00:03:21
bsmoove
um
00:03:23
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
00:03:23
bsmoove
a and
00:03:25
Dylan Fields
This is the best country album.
00:03:27
bsmoove
And you feel me? So yeah, man, what was this?
00:03:29
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
00:03:31
bsmoove
Long time coming. Shouts out to Ho doing the work with the speech last year. Shouts out. I think sir i think it's a reflection that the Academy is getting younger, ah for sure.
00:03:42
Sedaya Keita
Yeah.
00:03:44
bsmoove
I definitely feel like not just the Grammys, but a a lot of these institutions are a lot more online now.
Cultural Impact of the Grammys
00:03:53
bsmoove
um They just announced like, they I know it's kind of different, but they just announced the um the Met Gala. Who's going to be like the the the um the committee for the Met Gala? And again, they dropped that online. So it just speaks to how loud the culture is, just speaks to ah that.
00:04:17
bsmoove
You feel me? Black History month, shout out to the Black folks, man. We we are own them saying we really are the the the shakers and the movers when it comes to this here culture thing.
00:04:24
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:04:28
bsmoove
ah nothing Everything starts with us. So it's a dope to see that the Academy is starting to listen to the listen to us, man, for show, for show.
00:04:38
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, nice nice doing how you feeling about Beyonce getting her Grammy of the year or album of the year award
00:04:46
Dylan Fields
So, I mean, um I mixed emotions about the album of the year. The country album of the year, I liked. The album of the year, I didn't necessarily agree with.
00:04:59
Sedaya Keita
Okay, so start with the country album. Why did you like the country album of the year? Why was that?
00:05:03
Dylan Fields
So initially when I went into it and I listened to the album, it didn't sound as much to as a country album to me as I've remembered. But then it took some introspection for me to realize that I don't know country as a genre now. I really don't. you know the country The country that I knew growing up, you know just being around my parents and whatnot, is not at all the same country. And and so it's a different feel, right? And so um as with all music, you know it changes over time, and I'm out of touch with how it sounds nowadays. And I went and I listened to the other albums that were... I listened to a few of the other albums, like a few songs from the other albums, I should say, of her competing in the country ballot, and it just
00:05:52
Dylan Fields
felt like that was the best album. I didn't want to listen to the rest of those albums at all. They all felt a little bit more experimental than I'm used to. and so um I liked that album for that. For Album of the Year, I don't know. It it almost felt like the narrative was more of what what sold it than the piece itself to me.
00:06:16
Dylan Fields
cause i Because to me, I didn't care for the album as much. I didn't. It's not my favorite Beyonce album. And in relation to her album as a whole, I mean, I think we would all agree that there are other albums that should have been album of the year before this one. I mean, I think that would probably go without saying. Do you guys agree with that?
00:06:40
Sedaya Keita
Well, I mean, I did, but BJ in the last podcast, he said he feels this is one of her best chances to win. You know, like you got to give me his credit. Like he kind of hit it right on the money. You know, he he was really the only one I was like, yo, this is, you know, I expect her to win. She should win and she needs to win or there's going to be problems. You know, so I really got to give BJ his credit for really hitting the money on that, you know, because I really stand with you on it. but She won. And I'm so
Music Genre Exploration and Grammy Categories
00:07:09
Sedaya Keita
you know i'm definitely happy for her. And I know you are too, not saying you're not.
00:07:13
Dylan Fields
No, I am too bro, that's at the end of the day I am too but to be Billie Eilish I thought had a better project Thought it was a more
00:07:16
bsmoove
Who was going to win it over her though? Because liked it more or like what about hit me harder and softer made?
00:07:27
bsmoove
that the
00:07:30
Dylan Fields
universally impactful album, conceptually, she's actually talking about something more so than I think Beyonce is on the album as a whole. I mean, she's not, ah dude, her whole album is is a conflict.
00:07:42
bsmoove
What's it about?
00:07:44
Dylan Fields
It's about her coming out as a bisexual woman. And it's bangers the whole way through, I think. And so to me, I just thought it was a better album.
00:07:55
Dylan Fields
I mean, it's nothing against Beyonce, but
00:07:56
Sedaya Keita
and And we talk about Billie Eilish like in her like, you know, her prime.
00:07:59
Dylan Fields
Yeah, it's definitely my, if you're asking me if that's my personal opinion, like, yeah, for sure it is. It's my personal opinion. do i think Did I think that she was going to win going in? I mean, I don't know. I didn't have a real feel of the momentum going into it. but I'm not surprised that Beyonce wanted, and I'm not upset that she wanted either.
00:08:20
Dylan Fields
But I do think, what hurts me is that, what hurts me more, I guess, BJ, is that Beyonce walked away with three or four, how many, three? Did we say three?
00:08:31
bsmoove
Mm hmm.
00:08:32
Dylan Fields
Billie Eilish didn't walk away with Eddie. She didn't walk away with not one. And it's just like, I don't know, it just felt like, Like, damn, this is a really great project that I feel like a lot of people are missing out on.
00:08:45
Dylan Fields
I can guarantee that you guys have probably not listened to it, not yet laid, but that's what I'm saying.
00:08:49
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, I'm not in I'm not into with that shit, but I mean.
00:08:55
Dylan Fields
So so that's my point on that. I'm not upset by it, by any means. I'm very happy that she made history now, because she is what now the most awarded ever, right?
00:09:09
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, which is like amazing.
00:09:10
Dylan Fields
which is pretty fucking incredible.
00:09:11
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, congratulations to that.
00:09:13
Dylan Fields
Fuck, yeah, like, yeah.
00:09:13
Sedaya Keita
Let's let's let's take a second for that.
00:09:16
Dylan Fields
Fuck with him.
00:09:16
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, let's take a second for that.
00:09:17
Dylan Fields
Yeah. Fuck with him. Yeah. Shout out to Beyonce.
00:09:20
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, for sure.
00:09:21
Dylan Fields
I'm very happy for that.
00:09:22
bsmoove
i just want
00:09:23
Dylan Fields
If we're talking album for album, I just prefer that Billie Eilish.
00:09:23
Sedaya Keita
i
00:09:28
Dylan Fields
That's all.
00:09:29
bsmoove
I'm okay with that. I'll push back on the sentiment that Billie Eilish's album was more impactful. or even Or even more like conception, like I don't even think, not to say it that like her coming out, like that her coming of age of sorts story isn't like, ah is it something that can resonate with a universe, like ah a large number of people, but.
00:09:35
Dylan Fields
That's a... Okay.
00:09:49
Dylan Fields
And it's the audience she speaks to, right? She speaks to a younger audience that I would say, I mean, I don't know. Do you think that her Beyonce speak to the same age group of audience?
00:10:00
bsmoove
I think.
00:10:00
Dylan Fields
Or do you think that Beyonce reaches just all fucking audience because she's Beyonce?
00:10:04
bsmoove
i and i definite i think it's ah I think it's somewhere in between the middle of both
Doja Cat's Hip Hop Victory
00:10:09
bsmoove
of what you said. um i
00:10:11
Sedaya Keita
They're both international superstars.
00:10:13
bsmoove
Or not yeah for definitely that, but I would just, or just more than that, I think that they both just make popular music in a sense in like, I think this because they make popular music ah laura they they have a but they both have a very large reach of people. um But yeah, I think,
00:10:34
bsmoove
I think, again, the reason why I push back on the on the impactful thing is just because like I feel like while this isn't your typical, quote unquote, country album, there I definitely think there are enough country elements to ah so qualify it as a country album. And it just makes me think to, like like Virgil Abloh used to say, like It's art is art because I say it's art.
00:11:04
bsmoove
If I put a shoe in an art museum and i say it's ah if I say this is an art piece, it's an art piece versus if like you see a shoe on a street, it's a shoe on a street. um So i think and i I think in terms of like how that relates is that ah context matters.
00:11:21
bsmoove
You know what I'm saying? Like Tyler won best rap album for Igor and that shit wasn't a rap album. You feel what I'm saying? Like, so like if it doesn't
00:11:30
Sedaya Keita
No, no, no. hey It was like urban, it was like urban album or something. He won Best Rap Album for Call Me If I Don't Get Lost.
00:11:38
bsmoove
then he he
00:11:40
Sedaya Keita
yeah He won another Gary, but it was like Best Like Contemporary or Urban Album. And remember he said like, that's another word for the N word or something like that. That was Igor.
00:11:49
bsmoove
that
00:11:50
Sedaya Keita
That was Igor.
00:11:51
bsmoove
That's the point that I make. That's the point that I'm making that like these categories and shit aren are things that like we as consumers push on to artists. And I think Beyonce winning this album in that genre speaks to artists themselves kind of breaking down those genres that we put on them.
00:12:12
bsmoove
If she and since this is a country album and she's there are country elements,
00:12:13
Sedaya Keita
ah
Female Rap's Diversity and Success
00:12:18
bsmoove
this is a fucking country album.
00:12:20
bsmoove
It's a country album. What the fuck?
00:12:22
Sedaya Keita
I love that. I love that perspective. Because i one of my favorite um groups that won a album or one a ah Grammy this this year was ah No Worries with Wylawd.
00:12:34
Sedaya Keita
And the the album category was progress it was it was progressive R and&B.
00:12:37
bsmoove
Is it R and&B?
00:12:41
Sedaya Keita
And I was like, yo, what the fuck? I don't know what that is. But I was like, my niggas got a Grammy, though.
00:12:45
bsmoove
I feel like that's like...
00:12:47
Sedaya Keita
You know what I'm saying? like they They got a Grammy, though.
00:12:49
Dylan Fields
yeah right
00:12:50
Sedaya Keita
So I was definitely wondering, like, ah what are the, like, a lot of these categories, like, what do you think the purpose is for them? Like, BJ, you're talking about how they're like, what do you mean, like, we push them on to artists?
00:13:01
Sedaya Keita
Do we push the progressive R and&B category to
00:13:01
bsmoove
um
00:13:04
bsmoove
Because it's a way to categorize we categorize things because it's to make things more digestible for the con for the casual fan, for someone that person someone one that doesn't listen to the arrangements and instrumentations of songs and looking at the writing credits to see what are the R and&B elements of this, but what what are the R and&B elements of this song or this album?
00:13:11
Dylan Fields
Yeah,
00:13:16
Dylan Fields
right.
00:13:27
bsmoove
Or like someone that just wants to hear like i want to hear a song that I want to hear a song that sounds like another song. Having categories allows you to allows people to do that, I think, or allows it allows music to be more accessible to people that aren't as devot or yeah aren't as in tune, to ah or aren't as knowledgeable, or maybe not knowledgeable is the right word, but like yeah, maybe more in tune. I think that's what I meant.
00:13:57
Sedaya Keita
And I guess if you think about it, 67 years with the Grammys, like ah it's all different types of ah different types of music.
00:14:01
bsmoove
i feel like r me ethical i feel like progressive i feel like that I feel like that's not a, I feel like that's a fairly, like, I feel like that's a fairly accurate for that.
00:14:12
bsmoove
you will you You don't think so? Maybe i maybe like,
00:14:14
Sedaya Keita
No, it's definitely accurate, but it's also like...
00:14:19
bsmoove
I mean, with yeah but I feel like, what's other people in here now?
00:14:19
Sedaya Keita
ah we just and we just make it Do we just make a do we just make a a category for him? It's also one of them. you know but you know it's been music Music is growing in so many different ways. like in it's it's it's it's you know It's history, right? And like
Dolce's Achievement in Hip Hop
00:14:34
Sedaya Keita
you're saying, there's so many different avenues in And people are sampling and getting creative and being influenced by different genres and different you know it's just different ways of being creative with it now. You end up kind of just creating these new categories, I guess, right? So you know that's that's one way to look at it as well. And you know andna shaak and knowledge specifically gets a Grammy. So that's really what I'm really super happy about.
00:14:59
Sedaya Keita
um but
00:15:00
Dylan Fields
There's got to be there's got to be money behind it somehow. You know what I mean? Right.
00:15:04
bsmoove
I mean, that's that too.
00:15:04
Dylan Fields
And so like when you when you look at it like these artists start a lot of these songs sometimes they sound like they were they were gearing them towards trying to win this Grammy.
00:15:18
Dylan Fields
You know what I mean? Like when you get into a lot of them, it really sounds like that for some of them. And so
00:15:25
Sedaya Keita
I'd never think about that until everything happens. That's how I'm looking at all these categories. You know what I'm saying? Like you're right. I feel you.
00:15:31
Dylan Fields
Yeah. Like ah I, I think artists intentionally, some artists are probably intentionally going in there trying to create something that's going to win insert Grammy, temporary R and B, you know, whatever it is.
00:15:31
Sedaya Keita
I feel you Yeah It's a game for sure
00:15:42
bsmoove
Michael Jackson.
00:15:46
Dylan Fields
Um, yeah.
00:15:48
bsmoove
Michael Jackson was bad with the intent of like, y'all didn't give me, y'all tried to play me, but I'm coming through here and I'm winning everything.
00:15:49
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
00:15:59
bsmoove
And that's what he did.
00:16:00
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:16:02
Sedaya Keita
Well, I guess, you know, I guess one, you know, we all love hip hop and, you know, one thing that was a big shock was Dochie winning hip hop album of the year. I think we were all really anticipating, you know, who was going to win that. Uh, you know, let's start with you, man. What, uh, you know, how are you feeling? How are you feeling about that win?
00:16:24
Dylan Fields
I'm very happy for that win, man. you know um Don't you somebody that I'm very excited for as an artist going forward?
00:16:34
Dylan Fields
you know She's what, the third now female artist to win that award ever, which is pretty prestigious. I mean, just to share that with you know Lauren Hill, Cardi B on our Bodak album is pretty special.
00:16:48
bsmoove
but so it
00:16:48
Dylan Fields
and so um
00:16:49
bsmoove
um
00:16:51
Dylan Fields
It's just something that was, that was pretty cool. I was really happy to see it. Her performance was pretty great too, I thought.
00:16:56
Sedaya Keita
Amazing, amazing.
00:16:59
Dylan Fields
Yeah, yeah, I thought it, it was cool. I thought she really showed herself at the Grammys. Well, and um'm I'm excited for what 2025 breaks for Dolce, you know, she did this all of, off of not releasing an actual album.
00:17:16
Dylan Fields
She hasn't released an actual album yet. These are all considered.
00:17:19
bsmoove
That's where I'm at with it, bro. That's where I'm at with it. like That shit is crazy.
00:17:24
Dylan Fields
That's pretty insane.
Bruce Breezy's Best R&B Album Debate
00:17:26
Dylan Fields
you know And I think that's something that deserves to be noticed. And I'm happy that she is getting noticed for it. so
00:17:34
Sedaya Keita
All right, BJ.
00:17:37
bsmoove
ah Yeah, bro. That's the piggyback off of that. Not to say that like I didn't think the album was worthy of Rap Album of the Year in terms of quality.
00:17:47
bsmoove
um But I definitely didn't. I didn't think she was going to, I didn't think, I didn't see her winning um this year. That's because, I mean, I, it was a loaded, it was kind of a loaded category.
00:17:59
bsmoove
um She had some heavy hitters in there with Cole, Calm.
00:18:00
Sedaya Keita
Yeah.
00:18:03
bsmoove
I really thought, for real, for real, I thought it was going to be Eminem.
00:18:06
Sedaya Keita
Yeah.
00:18:06
bsmoove
I didn't think, I didn't think the album was that good, even though it wasn't terrible. But I didn't, I just thought like, you know, this off the fact that ah It's a legacy act. it's a really It's a solid body of work. I thought i thought they were going to throw it to him. um But yeah, I definitely more than anything, bro. I think it just speaks to hip hop and like even more specifically, like female rap is in a great place. like i think ah we are and I think it's so cool that we live in a world where, like not to say that she's completely falling off, and hopefully, you know what I'm saying, she's still doing well, she can still feed her family, and she comes back with some better music. But I think it's amazing that like Ice Spice
00:18:55
bsmoove
maybe a year or two ago was like the hottest thing smoking and now she's non-existent and like hip-hop and female rap is still thriving.
00:18:58
Sedaya Keita
Mm-hmm.
00:19:03
bsmoove
like i think
00:19:04
Sedaya Keita
And it always will.
00:19:04
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
00:19:05
Sedaya Keita
And it always will. And I love iSpice, by the way.
00:19:06
bsmoove
but no i'll just i just i like that like that I like that that section of rap isn't dependent on one person and like her
00:19:08
Sedaya Keita
let's I like iSpice.
00:19:18
bsmoove
lack of current success right now is indicative of that entire section of rap. like i think that that I think that that's because in the past, like it has been. like It's been very, if the the the but it girl for the time being, when she goes down, it seems like the nobody, if mickey if Nicki Minaj wasn't making music, like there was no motion for a female rap yeah i mean ah for a long time. So it's cool that we can have people We can have somebody come and fall off. We can have. and And that was kind of interesting, too, that she didn't get a she didn't get a a nomination for um for Pink Friday, too. I thought that maybe she would have got in there.
00:20:03
Sedaya Keita
Over who the common joint the common p-rock joint like Like like you said is lighting heavy hitters, but there was eight fucking nominations for mad other categories Like I don't see why you couldn't just don't are in there, too No, it's worthy though, you know, you're talking about just New York to New York representation No for sure for sure.
00:20:07
bsmoove
At least I didn't.
00:20:15
bsmoove
that's That's what I'm saying, bro. I mean, the album wasn't, I didn't think the album was that good, but just all... Come on, come on.
00:20:26
Sedaya Keita
I agree with that
00:20:28
bsmoove
So yeah, that was interesting. But ah yeah, bro, I just think that we are in a great place of and there's so much diversity amongst the in the field. ah Definitely we are in a like a ah ah renaissance of sorts for the for the girl rappers,
00:20:44
bsmoove
And yeah, just to piggyback off of Dylan, man, it's just amazing to be able to witness the the third black woman be a part of that history on black in Black History Month, um see her win that.
00:20:55
bsmoove
And to see her win it so like graciously too. like It couldn't have happened to her. I don't know, though, she. But this outside looking in, she seems like it's just hard not to root for it.
00:21:02
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:21:06
bsmoove
yeah i mean like She's somebody you want to get on.
00:21:07
Dylan Fields

00:24:20
Sedaya Keita
oh
00:24:20
Dylan Fields
I have listened to all 46 tracks again, and I don't like it. All right? It's not for me.
00:24:28
bsmoove
Yeah.
00:24:29
Dylan Fields
It's not for me. It doesn't feel like an R&B album. Just feels like, i don' I don't know. I mean, I guess that it's an R&B album, but it's like,
00:24:37
Sedaya Keita
So revenge by money long should have won that's where you at with it Why why should this have won the Grammy
00:24:38
Dylan Fields
That it? Yes. Absolutely.

bsmoove
What's the, what's, what are, what are getting people, what are like three joints off there? Like if you, if somebody has never listened to that album before, really want to become, you feel me?
00:24:50
Dylan Fields
Okay.
00:24:53
bsmoove

00:24:57
Dylan Fields
Okay. Okay. Hold on. Hold on.
00:25:06
bsmoove
I'm like, man, that's awesome.
00:25:06
Sedaya Keita
ah We still don't know how to say her name, BJ. We still don't know how to say her name.
00:25:10
bsmoove
And that's I'm not going to disrespect that queen by even trying to just know that I just know that we love and appreciate you. You are a gorgeous woman. Oh, my God.
00:25:20
Sedaya Keita
Oh my goodness, you gotta to relax, bro.
00:25:22
Dylan Fields
Oh, yeah.
00:25:22
bsmoove
I'm just saying man that lady is.
00:25:24
Dylan Fields
Uh, what, uh, type questions type questions is great.
00:25:31
bsmoove
Is that the freestyle joint that she did?
00:25:34
Dylan Fields
I think so. I had to listen to it. I had to listen to you put me on a spot.
00:25:38
bsmoove
That first house you did on Sway was also super dope.
00:25:42
Dylan Fields
Yeah. Yeah. No, but that's, that's what my, my vote would have been for it. It's not, it's not for Chris Brown at all. That's for sure.
00:25:49
bsmoove
And know I respect the double down.
00:25:49
Dylan Fields
That's for sure.
00:25:51
Sedaya Keita
Okay, all right then.
00:25:55
Dylan Fields
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. He asked for it.
00:25:58
Sedaya Keita
So, you know, I guess some other things I kind of wanted to touch on the Grammys. um I guess one more thing before we get into Kendrick, who obviously just took over everything. We'll get into that in
Kendrick Lamar's Grammy Triumphs
00:26:08
Sedaya Keita
a second. One thing that I saw was Alicia Keys winning the Grammy Global Impact Award. And I just kind of wanted to highlight this award in itself. The Global Grammy Impact Award is a special Grammy awarded to black music creators who were just dedicated to, you know,
00:26:26
Sedaya Keita
just music and the art and um you know just the industry itself. And it's named after Dr. Dre. It's fairly new. Came out in 2022. And Alicia Keys is the recipient of 2025.
00:26:40
Sedaya Keita
And I just wanted to kind of just shout out Alicia Keys. She looked amazing with the gold. She's just like a queen. She had the gold queenly shit going on. You know what I mean?
00:26:48
Dylan Fields
Speech is fire.
00:26:49
Sedaya Keita
Her speech was amazing. Her last album was amazing. And I've always just been a huge Alicia Keys fan. And I just love that um you know the Grammys are taking this turn and just representing us in the right way.
00:27:01
Sedaya Keita
you know Growing up, I had issues with the Grammys.
00:27:04
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
00:27:05
Sedaya Keita
um I went to a Lupe Fiasco concert. And he changed my perspective on the Grammys just a little bit. And ever since then, the Grammys have just been progressively getting better. And I think that's why we were just all just kind of a little more excited than we usually were this year. Maybe not to watch it, but just to just see people up there kind of doing what they were doing, you know, just seeing people being represented the right way. um I think this is the first time in a long time that we've had consistent conversations about it that, you know, so it's good to see. And shout out to that award is being created.
00:27:37
Sedaya Keita
And you know, with that being said, I guess we'll just get into, you know, the starter show, Mr. Kendrick Lamar. ah I mean, he had the biggest year. I mean, when I look back, i don't I can't really think of another artist who had like a bigger, uinist maybe like when Drake dropped his views and like, yeah, like a billion streams, the first rapper hit a billion streams with like when two songs or whatever. But man, like what Kendrick has done this year was just really phenomenal and is represented by him just knocking it out the park with, I'm sure, I i think he sweep that and researched the sweep. But I mean, I know he took home the grand prize, which is record of the year.
00:28:13
Sedaya Keita
Let's go with you, BJ. How are you feeling about Kendrick winning, you know, record of the year and just his year last year in general, man, just kind of how we handled everything and just you know how we how we just kind of took over 2024.
00:28:25
bsmoove
For sure. like i said I think I said it in the last part, and if I didn't, I said on this one. um I think the same way like we talk about like the 2016 year, 2024 was a hell of a year for music. I think the further we get from it, the more we're going to just remember it for just like It's just a year where there's a ridiculous amount of creative input was put out into the universe. um And yeah, and and Kendrick was at the tip of that. um he has he he He hasn't missed. like he everything everything he's Literally everything he's done um has been gold. And it was really cool to see it culminate on Grammy night um in the canadian in the Canadian tuxedo.
00:29:17
Sedaya Keita
I didn't know that I didn't know that that's hilarious That's absolutely hilarious Yeah, man
00:29:18
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:29:20
bsmoove
Yeah, in the denim one, denim.
00:29:20
Dylan Fields
Yep.
00:29:25
bsmoove
You know what I mean? It was, yeah, bro, it was, it's incredible, bro. I mean, that not like us, that not like us track has, I mean, it's united the entire city, united the entire coast, reinvigorated this hip-hop with, just injected hip-hop with a lot of just,
00:29:48
bsmoove
With a lot of that energy, I felt like we was missing, man. I feel like people are really, I feel like people, I feel like people really care again. And um yeah, man, I'm excited to see, I'm excited to see him continue the momentum. I think, ah um yeah, I definitely think he's going to have a project with SZA at some point this year.
00:30:10
bsmoove
um And I'm super, and it's crazy. I think it might, I ain't gonna say, I think, I think Drake might've got y'all ruled, bro.
00:30:22
bsmoove
I really did. I ain't gonna hold you. I thought jo and think, and it sense I I got you.
00:30:24
Dylan Fields
kind Oh!
00:30:24
Sedaya Keita
and ah Explain, explain, explain, explain that statement. Explain that statement.
00:30:31
bsmoove
and might be It might be cooked for this nigga, man. the fact that he had The fact that he had a room full of, I ain't going to say it was all white people, but it was a lot of white folks in that Grammy room. And heated the song cut off. The song cut off. And everybody in the room wrapped a minor. And I'm not saying, I don't think the nigga is a pedophile. I don't think.
00:30:56
bsmoove
I don't think ah I don't think that I don't stand by the by the sentiment that like every rap bar needs to be fact checked. I think the yeah I think the point that I think the point of the bar is that
00:31:06
Sedaya Keita
It's rap beef, nigga. The fuck? It's rap beef.
00:31:11
bsmoove
he do he he's done weird kind of questionable shit and the fact that he can make you think about him being potentially A minor and the fact that it was clever is the point of the bar. but So yeah, I don't actually think he's a PF, but the fact that he had a room full of very successful white folks, powerful white folks, singing that part just speaks to the, just speaks to, you know what I mean? Just the reach of that song, bro. Shout out King Kendrick, doing the full sweep, not like us, cannot wait to see this performance. Man, he's had as good of a year, if he's had as good of a year as you can as you can as you can have for real.
00:31:56
bsmoove
um id really did um um So you think you'll put GNX into the, you think you'll submit GNX next
Speculating Kendrick Lamar's Future
00:32:09
bsmoove
year for 2025?
00:32:10
Dylan Fields
Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:32:13
bsmoove
I don't know, can you do that?
00:32:13
Dylan Fields
Absolutely.
00:32:16
Dylan Fields
ah ah Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:17
Sedaya Keita
He probably, they they probably got his name on this shit right now.
00:32:17
Dylan Fields
They've done that before.
00:32:21
Dylan Fields
Yeah. I guarantee they do.
00:32:22
bsmoove
Oh, I mean, we'll see, bro.
00:32:23
Dylan Fields
He's probably performing bro.
00:32:25
Sedaya Keita
So that was my next, that was really gonna be my next question. I guess I'll take it to you, Bill. This is not gonna stop, right? like He dropped his album late last year, so it is up for the Grammys next year. He's got the Super Bowl coming up as well. like The run of this this Kendrick run isn't stopping next year. like
00:32:45
Dylan Fields
Will you look, I want to take a few, I want to take a pic.
00:32:46
bsmoove
The National Corps.
00:32:48
Sedaya Keita
national tour like what are you really expecting like like like where are we expecting to see Kendrick after the at the end of 2025 though yeah that's barrrow that's
00:32:50
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:32:57
Dylan Fields
Well, I'll answer that question, but real quick, a few things that I really liked. One, he took home five Grammys. He's done that now three times as an artist, taking home five Grammys. He took them home for a single.
00:33:16
Dylan Fields
on Sunday night. That's incredible. That is incredible. right Most artists don't grace 15 Grammys, don't get to get nominated for those. He's won those. right He's won now.
00:33:31
Dylan Fields
I mean, he's in a list of people that is very few to take that home. I mean, in 2015, he won it for It's a Pimp Butterfly, 2018 for Damn, and then now for Not Like Us, he's on a crazy run.
00:33:45
bsmoove
Even with this.
00:33:45
Dylan Fields
I mean, it's insane. It's insane. It's insane. It's going to be stunning. And I'm not happy for the day that we will inevitably see where we don't have more Kendrick music. But that is not today that we have it.
00:33:59
Dylan Fields
And I'm very happy for it. And one thing I really like about the G and X album that's really great is, yeah I mean, I don't know if you guys noticed, ah when I first looked at the album, did you guys have an initial thing that you noticed right away?
00:34:12
bsmoove
Like visually?
00:34:14
Dylan Fields
Just left looking out the set list.
00:34:17
Sedaya Keita
A lot of a lot of said the hard part six stuck out and
00:34:17
Dylan Fields
Well, to me, dude, to me, what stuck out is there was no lot like us. It's not in G and X's set list.
00:34:25
bsmoove
Yeah.
00:34:26
Sedaya Keita
ah
00:34:27
bsmoove
In the track.
00:34:28
Dylan Fields
It's not in there.
00:34:29
Sedaya Keita
Be over that's over with it's over with
00:34:29
bsmoove
Yeah, for sure.
00:34:29
Dylan Fields
Or tracklist, I'm sorry.
00:34:31
bsmoove
It's a single.
00:34:31
Dylan Fields
It's not in its tracklist. And I liked that a lot. And there was some a fan that reached out to, I think it was Top on tv or um on X and on fucking Twitter.
00:34:45
Dylan Fields
And she yeah he He asked him, he was like, you know why did you do that? Why did you guys not put it on the album? Was that intentional? And he said, yeah, it was very much so intentional.
00:34:57
Dylan Fields
you know this was This was meant to be viewed as a separate piece. you know That single was for the beef.
00:35:01
Sedaya Keita
uh-huh
00:35:03
Dylan Fields
This is for G and X as a project. And I really liked that there was that distinction there because it was very easy to just get swept up in that whole world where I didn't think that you know this is because he might say something here or there that this is a whole you know, Drake album, but it's not. And I really liked the album a lot and I can't wait for it to be um honored at the Grammy's next year. And that's what I think is coming forward to answer your question, Sonaya, is I think he's going to have a historic run. I think this Super Bowl, we've only heard about him and SZA right now. I don't know if you guys remember Super Bowls in the past. There's always other artists, right? I i have seen, Sonaya, I don't know if you see this at all.
00:35:50
Dylan Fields
Have you seen this?
00:35:52
Sedaya Keita
mom My mother brought something to my attention, continue.
00:35:53
Dylan Fields
Have you seen this?
00:35:56
Sedaya Keita
I haven't looked nothing up.
00:35:57
Dylan Fields
Have you seen Absol talking about, he's been talking about, I don't know.
00:35:59
Sedaya Keita
My mother said something about something.
00:36:05
Dylan Fields
He's just been, he's been putting motherings out there that he may be intertwined with it or something, which would be.
00:36:10
Sedaya Keita
I don't know what a murmuring is. I don't know what that is. I don't know what a murmuring is.
00:36:14
Dylan Fields
ah Yeah, yeah, we'll figure it out. yeah it's iss <unk>s He's putting things out there saying that he might be involved in the Super Bowl. How incredible would that be?
00:36:25
bsmoove
I could see a black hippie, I could see like a black hippie.
00:36:25
Dylan Fields
I mean, to have, right?
00:36:29
Sedaya Keita
I might cry, I might cry, I might cry.
00:36:29
Dylan Fields
That's what I think might happen.
00:36:29
bsmoove
I don't know, I don't do an actual song, but I could see him bringing them on the stage just to like, just so that like we can, just so they can all kind of like just bask in the moment.
00:36:39
Sedaya Keita
I'm crying, I'm crying.
00:36:40
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:36:40
bsmoove
That's because it is, I mean, I just don't know if they have, I don't know if, I know y'all are more TD like y'all are, y'all are for real black people.
00:36:50
bsmoove
I just don't know if they have a song where like all of them that has enough of a reach that might be that might be worthy of that platform. Not worthy, but you know what I'm saying? i But yeah, I just don't know if they got a song.
00:37:02
Sedaya Keita
They can all just do their biggest joint real quick. Just do a quick verse. See I mean They all got a verse with Kendrick or some big-ass track Jay Rock can do win schoolboy Q can do collard greens Absol and they can do what says one joint from GTA Illuminate

Dylan Fields
All I know is Jay-Z is by behind the scene working with Kendrick Lamar, SZA, and potentially Absol.
00:37:17
Sedaya Keita

I'm going with the Eagles, man. I'm going with the Eagles, man.
00:40:07
Sedaya Keita
I Definitely want that he was a win Who do we think is gonna win like come on guys, come on like Give some analysis here gentlemen
00:40:08
bsmoove
with the
00:40:14
bsmoove
I'm going with the Eagles. I'm going with the Eagles.
00:40:18
Dylan Fields
oh So I like the Eagles because I think that they, in a game where both teams really want it, one of those teams has recently lost the damn Super Bowl and made it right the fuck back. Knows what it's like, got socked right in the face and was able to get right back to that stage again. Not only that,
00:40:40
Dylan Fields
But they added somebody to their roster named Saquon Barkley who just rushed for almost, what, 2,000 yards this year, which is nothing to be just you know ah forgotten about.
00:40:49
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, some jump over him and backwards.
00:40:52
Dylan Fields
Man, and it's the Super Bowl, okay? these They've been waiting so long to make it. He he has been in New York. He has been in a New York giant, bro.
00:41:03
Sedaya Keita
They feel like they feel terrible, by the way, because they got the JD McDaniel's draft pick and then the like that.
00:41:03
Dylan Fields
like
00:41:11
Sedaya Keita
That's hilarious.
00:41:11
Dylan Fields
Oh, it was, yeah, no, it was, it's awful. It's awful. It's funny. He was at, he was in a press conference interview and James Winston was there doing what James Winston does.
00:41:19
bsmoove
Thank you.
00:41:21
Dylan Fields
And he asked him a question. He was like, Hey man, where, where, where do I go in free agency, man? I need a job. I don't have a job anymore, man. Where do I go? He was like, uh, I think the giants are looking and it was just, it was just hilarious.
00:41:33
Sedaya Keita
a Oh man chip on my fucking shoulder, bro.
00:41:37
Dylan Fields
It was just hilarious. Cause it was like,
00:41:41
Sedaya Keita
Like y'all gonna do me like that, bro
00:41:41
Dylan Fields
Man, hey, hey, and he wasn't asking for much. They were treating him like trash. and I mean, yeah I think a real chip is on his shoulder. So I think they have a real chance to do it. I think they've got a legit defense. I think that the only thing they're dealing with though is the unstoppable force of the Kansas City Chiefs, which I'm worried about. I am worried about.
00:42:07
bsmoove
To that, I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:42:07
Dylan Fields
but
00:42:09
bsmoove
i'm um I didn't mean to cut you off. Go ahead.
00:42:10
Dylan Fields
But no, I think they've got a good shot at it. That's all. Yeah.
00:42:14
bsmoove
For the show. And just all and I didn't mean, like I said, um apologies to try to, I didn't mean to cut you off. But to to the unstoppable force, I feel like the Eagles, unlike the Bills, unlike the Ravens, who like have
00:42:20
Dylan Fields
No, you're good.
00:42:31
bsmoove
who probably have better quarterback who probably have a better quarterback or most people would say have a better quarterback than the Eagles. I think the fact that they have played them before and this in the biggest stage and the Jalen Hurts played very well in that game, I think that they aren't i don't feel i don't think that they look the Chiefs in the superhuman way that most teams that play against them do.
00:42:56
bsmoove
And asking think I think
00:42:56
Dylan Fields
I agree.
00:42:58
Sedaya Keita
They've beat him like a legacy season in like the past two years. They beat him.
00:43:01
bsmoove
You know what I mean? To your point, that defense is insane. That D-line is wild. Trust from a... I'm so mad.
00:43:11
bsmoove
And who's to say that he would still be the player that he is if he played for the Bears? But man, Jalen Carter is a force, bro. He's so good.
00:43:20
Sedaya Keita
maty Nasty, nasty, nasty.
00:43:21
bsmoove
So, so good.
00:43:21
Dylan Fields
Different.
00:43:22
bsmoove
So, so good.
00:43:26
bsmoove
They got a lot of rookies. They got a lot of they got a lot of young guys in that backhand playing really well. And so they're gonna they're set up to be good for a while. um I mean, A.J. Brown.
00:43:37
bsmoove
It's phenomenal. Devontae Smith is phenomenal. Like you like hugh just mentioned, Saquon Barkley has been running crazy all year, especially in these playoffs. And yeah, bro, i think um i think I think last year was probably the best chance that we had to not patty off his game. Because even though he hasn't been playing great this year,
00:44:03
bsmoove
He has played really well in the fourth quarter all year. um So I mean, I'm definitely worried about him. I ain't gonna hold you. the The Chiefs definitely are the Chiefs, but I think the Eagles are equipped as any other team in the league to beat them. um Especially if Jalen Hurts can come and have a good day. I know he gonna get a good little quarter zone shot in that knee.
00:44:28
bsmoove
He ain't gonna be foolin' nothin', good adrenaline. You know what I mean? We just need one game, baby. We just need one game last season. We need one game, and we could be thrown these things, yo.
00:44:38
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:44:39
bsmoove
That's all I'm sayin', bro.
00:44:39
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:44:40
bsmoove
I do not want to live in a world where... And this is crazy, bro. That nigga like tween even 30 yet.
00:44:48
Sedaya Keita
Who Patty Yeah, I got I do have a I do have a question like cuz I don't really watch football like that in Like all year I would I saw a lot of my information is word-of-mouth and all year I heard about the Lions ah Vikings the Eagles the Bills the Ravens Like No one talked about the Chiefs
00:44:48
bsmoove
Patch Macomb is like 28, 29, bro. That shit is wild, bro.
00:44:54
Dylan Fields
No, it stayed.
00:44:54
bsmoove
He's hopping.
00:45:16
Sedaya Keita
and Like I am a dolphin spin. So I look up like the undefeated teams whatever and like brother 15 and there was 15 and one It's like why are we not?
00:45:27
Dylan Fields
Well, I think yeah No, people didn't talk about the Chiefs because they knew they would be there that's why they talk about the Chiefs
00:45:27
Sedaya Keita
Of our folks sick of the Chiefs are we sick of the Chiefs?
00:45:34
Sedaya Keita
15 and 1 they knew they'd be 15 and 1 but all I hear all I'm hearing about the Chiefs is passion. We're homes off here Java's coach ain't doing what he's doing.
00:45:42
bsmoove
It's how they won. It's how they won. They haven't won convincingly all year, but they skirted by in those 15 games, like especially in comparison to, like you said, like the Lions who were beating the hell out of teams.
00:45:45
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:45:45
Sedaya Keita
I
00:45:47
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
00:45:47
Sedaya Keita
They won 15 games!
00:45:55
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:45:56
bsmoove
like And like Patrick Mahomes' his numbers outside of the fourth quarter having been nearly as Patrick, like he said the but he set the bar so high, its especially like offense, like the way their offense was is running like in their heyday, excuse me. um I mean, the football guy and me, good teams find a way to win close games they or they they find a way to win games and to your point, they've lost the game, like they've lost the game all year, but the eye tests,
00:46:30
bsmoove
The TV test, you know what I mean?
00:46:32
Sedaya Keita
they' Dropping 30 they beating niggas by 30 how they used to but by the third quarter of the game is over Yeah, fatigue's a real deal, yeah Wow
00:46:35
bsmoove
You feel me? yeahy You I mean? You being teamed by field goal, by a point every other week. And then on top of that, it is fatigue. These niggas been good. like He even even been to, like what, seven? like It's four or five straight in it like championship games. like his Fuck Pat. Fuck Pat. butpa um but if i but if i was a kid if if I lived in Kansas City, it would be like, you couldn't tell me nothing, but I don't. So fuck Pat.
00:47:06
Sedaya Keita
I love the Chiefs, honestly, man, but you know, my mommy was fans.
00:47:07
Dylan Fields

Whatever his name was. he He went, he has to go Michael Jordan mode.
00:47:53
Dylan Fields

Dylan Fields
It was awesome.
00:48:31

00:48:31
Dylan Fields
Yeah, bro.
00:48:32
Sedaya Keita
You don't know, what the fuck going on?
00:48:32
Dylan Fields
He didn't want to talk to nobody, bro.
00:48:35
Sedaya Keita
I don't think I've ever seen a nigga in a suit for real, like...
00:48:35
Dylan Fields
I wouldn't either.
00:48:38
Dylan Fields
Before I get into Luca, bro, I do not envy that part of an NBA player's job to sit there and talk to people that I don't want to talk to.
00:48:40
bsmoove
I appreciate it.
00:48:51
Dylan Fields
ever at times when I don't want to talk to anyone is like the worst.
00:48:55
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, ah yeah, yeah y'all saying I'm fat y'all saying my game is this in the and I gotta talk to y'all
00:48:58
Dylan Fields
It's like, it's like, yeah probably interview or something it's like, Hey, Luca. Hey, Luca. Um, thanks for coming in today. Uh, wanted to ask you, I know that it's been a really, really traumatic and hard, tough days for, uh, a few days for you.
00:49:14
Dylan Fields
Uh, can you just speak to how hard that's been? Like what the. Yeah, it's been really tough. It's been really tough. i'm I'm going through it right now, but we're excited to be here.
00:49:25
Sedaya Keita
He's like, how do you feel about the decision of you getting traded?
00:49:27
Dylan Fields
like It's like, do the reporters even, do the reporters even want to be there?
00:49:28
Sedaya Keita
He's like, it was never my decision. I could ah could do anything about it.
00:49:34
Dylan Fields
Is it like they just got to like, they just got to clock in. It's like, oh shit, he's showing up. Shit, we should probably have a few things we should ask him, right? Like it's like, I don't know.
00:49:44
Dylan Fields
its Sometimes, sometimes I really don't envy that. But for as far as the Luca trade itself,
00:49:51
Dylan Fields
I'm not excited to see what happens with the Lakers. Like, there's part of me that's like, well, they don't have a big man. But then there's part of me that's like, that doesn't fucking matter.
00:50:01
Sedaya Keita
Yes, LeBron James.
00:50:01
Dylan Fields
It's LeBron James and Luca Doncic.
00:50:03
Sedaya Keita
jesus
00:50:03
Dylan Fields
It's like, so then it's like, it's like, it's like I'm terrified, you know?
00:50:09
Sedaya Keita
Yeah. why
00:50:09
Dylan Fields
And they gave it, you get you're gonna hand them the keys to this Maserati right before the playoffs? Like, I'm not happy about that. If you look at the Vegas odds, one thing that's really funny to point out is that previous to the trade, the Mavericks were one, they had one in 16 odds to to win the championship, right? Since the trade, and then the Lakers had like one in 34 or something like that. So since the trade, they've swapped completely.
00:50:46
Sedaya Keita
Wow.
00:50:46
Dylan Fields
And now they're, they're both in opposite places. Now the Lakers have one out of 16 chances to win, ah according to Vegas. And it's just, it's like, I don't know how that trade happens. Like I tried to like convince myself, I liked it. Cause I want Kyrie to have a big man. And I kind of think that him and Luca together were, were having some growing pains that they needed to figure out. But it's like.
00:51:15
Dylan Fields
Man, look, well you you disagree with me, Brian.
00:51:17
Sedaya Keita
yeah
00:51:19
bsmoove
They were in the finals last year, brother.
00:51:20
Sedaya Keita
yeah yeah
00:51:21
Dylan Fields
Cool, they got their ass whooped.
00:51:22
Sedaya Keita
Yo.
00:51:23
bsmoove
I mean, but they were in the finals.
00:51:25
Sedaya Keita
That was in the finals, bruh. That was in the finals, bruh.
00:51:26
bsmoove
Ain't they fifth in the West right now, bro?
00:51:30
Sedaya Keita
It's crazy to me. That was in the finals, bruh.
00:51:33
bsmoove
I mean, Luke ain't played a lot this year. I i i mean i mean, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cut you off.
00:51:38
Dylan Fields
No, i I agree with you.
00:51:39
bsmoove
That's fucking me.
00:51:40
Dylan Fields
I agree with you. and if you look at Lucas points per game and everything this year it's like it's it's crazy to say that he's out of shape like the dude's averaging like 28 or 29 points per game I think all the games that he's played
00:51:54
Sedaya Keita
I think, ah do you think it was more the commitment? Like, because they they keep talking about the contract that, you know, like, cause you know, if the team drafted you, they get to pay you a bigger max than any other team and their max that they're going to pay them.
00:52:09
Sedaya Keita
Like they were going to be paying Luca like 70, 80 million a year.
00:52:13
Dylan Fields
Oh, like 345 million, yeah, or some shit, yeah.
00:52:15
Sedaya Keita
Yeah. Like we talking soccer euros now. You know what I'm saying? Like that's where we were going with it. And they were just like, yo, we don't want to commit to someone who we had issues with just on and off the court.
00:52:28
Sedaya Keita
And that's a lot of money, bro. And that's a lot of unprecedented money. You know what I'm saying? As much as people shit on Jason Tatum, as much as people shit on Jason Tatum, he showed up to the court.
00:52:36
bsmoove
know
00:52:42
Sedaya Keita
He stayed professional off the court. You know what I'm saying? And he got the job done. you know And that's why he's getting that, but that's why he got that stupid ass contract. like I guess the Mavericks didn't see it in that way.
00:52:55
Sedaya Keita
i mean
00:52:56
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:52:56
Sedaya Keita
well the
00:52:56
Dylan Fields
But you see that Anthony Davis, that's what, that's what's confusing. That's what's confusing. It's like, if, if that's your view on it, how is it Anthony Davis, the solution to that problem?
00:53:09
bsmoove
ah mean it was a perfect I mean, I don't think, I don't think you have to worry about Anthony Davis being in shape or being quote unquote, like committed to like the team or winning culture in the same way that they're claiming that they were with Luca.
00:53:09
Dylan Fields
Like that's.
00:53:25
Dylan Fields
Anthony Davis is also like 38 or 36 or something like that.
00:53:29
bsmoove
don no he don't
00:53:31
Dylan Fields
36.
00:53:31
Sedaya Keita
32 I got you Not Dallas
00:53:31
bsmoove
and He's Yeah, he's 31.
00:53:31
Dylan Fields
How old is he? 32? He's 31. Okay. So he's not, okay. He's not super old, but I mean, Lucas, what?
00:53:40
bsmoove
25.
00:53:41
Dylan Fields
25. Right. I mean, I don't know. And I think if you ask any, anybody, they would say that they would take, if they're starting a franchise today, you're taking Luca over Anthony Davis.
00:53:54
Dylan Fields
I don't think that's, I really don't think that's a question.
00:53:59
bsmoove
Which is why I'm like, bro.
00:54:00
Dylan Fields
And it's, yeah.
00:54:00
bsmoove
i I'm pushing back on all of that bullshit. They tweet. You can't rationalize. They got a bag of chips. I don't care if they got Anthony Davis, bro. You could have got every you could got it you could have got Anthony Davis and almost everybody else not named LeBron James.
00:54:16
bsmoove
like how do the fact that you How do you have that deal and you don't get Dalton Kincaid, or you don't get Austin Reeves?
00:54:19
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
00:54:22
Dylan Fields
Breathed. Yeah.
00:54:24
bsmoove
Give me all the picks. Every pick that you have left, I want them all.
00:54:26
Dylan Fields
You're right.
00:54:29
bsmoove
Luca Doncic, right now, is arguably the third or fourth best player in the league. Like right now, his resume right now, outside of winning the NBA championship is better than everything that Anthony Davis has done to his career up to right now. And that's with him winning a championship and being, did he win two? Has he won two gold medals?
00:54:53
Sedaya Keita
What about defensive player to you?
00:54:55
bsmoove
All of that, all of that, all of that.
00:54:58
Dylan Fields
you yeah
00:54:59
bsmoove
what
00:55:00
Dylan Fields
What?
00:55:00
bsmoove
Luca has led a team last year to the finals. He led a second team.
00:55:05
Dylan Fields
Okay.
00:55:06
bsmoove
He led a a worse team to the Western Conference Finals with before. Hold on. Y'all cooked for a while. Y'all talked for a minute, bro.
00:55:19
bsmoove
Y'all talked for a long time. you talk it Bro, y'all talking about it's a lot of money. Bruh, he's the third best player in the league.
00:55:30
bsmoove
jalen brown Jalen Brown is getting paid $300 million dollars right now. You telling me Luca not better than Jalen Brown? You telling me, y'all talking about that's a lot of bread.
00:55:41
bsmoove
The cap is only going up. like that's just That's just the going rate for generational players.
00:55:49
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:55:49
bsmoove
And you had that. And he didn't want to leave, bro. Players like Luca don't come to you. Trust me. ah I've been waiting for it. I've been waiting for a player like Luca to come to the Bulls.
00:56:02
Sedaya Keita
I
00:56:04
bsmoove
Trust me, they don't go on trees, G. go on G.
00:56:11
Dylan Fields
Hey, hey, Brian, Brian, I want you to talk to me and have hypotheticals right now, right?
00:56:12
Sedaya Keita
do not.
00:56:16
Dylan Fields
Let's say that trade never happened with the Lakers. You wake up tomorrow morning and it happens. They were they traded Luca Dotches to the Bulls. What are you doing?
00:56:26
bsmoove
It's up. you can't No one can tell me nothing. like You can't tell me nothing. like bro he because Bro, he's proven that he can take even, he can take not even a great team to the, like he can win.
00:56:40
bsmoove
like Anthony Dean is for all that he's a great player.
00:56:41
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:56:44
bsmoove
I think he might've been, I don't even remember if he was NBA 75, but he he makes he'll have a strong case for being on the next one ah when it's all said and done. But he's never led, he's arguably never been the best player on the championship team.
00:57:02
bsmoove
even like when Even the year that they won the league, even the year that they won the ship, LeBron went Scottie. AD played out of his mind, don't don't get me wrong. And I think that's the and that the year he won defensive player of the year, the bubble year, when they won the ship.
00:57:15
Dylan Fields
Yeah Yeah, yeah over like that was over Yaris, I think that's what he wanted
00:57:21
bsmoove
You know what I'm saying? And I ain't going to hold it. And I do think he should have a couple more. But, you know, defensive player of the year has been a little watered down the past, and at least the past 10 years or so. But, you know, whatever. He got the award. um I just think the going rate for a generational player that doesn't want to be moved and you trade him in the middle of the night and you didn't get any picks is insane to me, is insane to me. Like, there is no way that the Lakers should have
00:57:54
bsmoove
all of their young players right now, all of their picks.
00:57:57
Dylan Fields
right
00:57:58
bsmoove
And the fact that, the fact that, ah that they let Rob Polinka tell him no, like they were trying to get some of, they were trying to get other pieces and Rob just told him no, and they still did it.
00:58:05
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:58:11
Dylan Fields
Yep, yep.
00:58:14
bsmoove
Bro, what are y'all doing?
00:58:14
Dylan Fields
Well, Lika was, yeah, yeah.
00:58:15
bsmoove
What are we doing right now? What are we doing?
00:58:17
Dylan Fields
Right.
00:58:17
bsmoove
Like he's, I don't care. I don't care if he out of shape. I don't care if you get, if you yell at the, if you yell at the rest. The man wins. The man, the man is, the book of magic is.
00:58:27
Dylan Fields
yeah right
00:58:28
Sedaya Keita
They went, they went, they went to the finals.
00:58:30
bsmoove
Book of magic.
00:58:31
Sedaya Keita
Here's what I'll say. Here's why I agree with Brian 100%. I am a Oklahoma city Thunder fan. I love this trade because the Lakers got to figure out whatever the fuck they got to do.
00:58:46
Sedaya Keita
and We could not beat the Dallas Mavericks We lost one of the playoffs last year and we got like eight losses this year.
00:58:50
Dylan Fields
Yeah, right.
00:58:53
Sedaya Keita
I think two of them and Guarantee two of them are the Dallas maybe three We could not beat them.
Impact of NBA Trades on Team Dynamics
00:59:01
Sedaya Keita
So then fucking all that up is like, oh, this is amazing This just gives us a real good chance So I'm loving it But up up up up
00:59:06
bsmoove
It makes no sense to me. It makes no sense. And like now you got to hope that, like, hope he stays healthy, hope that, ah excuse me, hope that ah but Kyrie decides to like yeah he that that he wants to still be there. I bet Clay Thompson broke. If he could redo it, I bet Clay would have been like, you know what? I would have took less bread to stay where I was at. I ain't going to fake it.
00:59:36
Sedaya Keita
Nah man, Clay had a rough year last year, bro. That shit was not sweet.
00:59:38
bsmoove
I'm I've
00:59:39
Sedaya Keita
That was a rough year last year, my boy.
00:59:42
bsmoove
got clay with it.
00:59:42
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
00:59:42
bsmoove
I've got clay with a thug.
00:59:44
Sedaya Keita
And they, you know, they didn't appreciate him. They're at least trying to appreciate Klay and Dallas. Like, he was not appreciated. And he did not feel appreciated in Golden State anymore. And you don't want to be somebody in for it.
00:59:54
Sedaya Keita
Like, bro, I hated seeing Klay Thompson, like, just on the bench looking like that last year. Like, that shit hurt to see. So I disagree with that. I can rock with that.
01:00:02
bsmoove
have
01:00:03
Sedaya Keita
But, you know, we go through it. It's still Anthony fucking Davis. Like, it's Kyrie Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, bro. Like, It's that if they figure that out, bro, like shit, like that's not something sweet.
01:00:14
Sedaya Keita
That's not something to sniff at at all. And Kyrie being a primary ball handler like that will always put fear in my fucking heart.
01:00:17
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
01:00:20
bsmoove
Thank you.
01:00:21
Sedaya Keita
I don't I don't really know what else to tell people.
01:00:23
Dylan Fields
It's just the organization as a whole that I think is something that's questionable, right? I mean, you look at now legal Harrison is let he's let Jalen Brunson, Chris stops for Vegas and Luca fall through his hands.
01:00:36
Sedaya Keita
Mm hmm.
01:00:36
Dylan Fields
And those are all Question, I mean debatably generational talents, right? And so it's like How do you do that? How do you do that and expect to curate talent better than those three guys?
01:00:47
Dylan Fields
I mean if you're in the draft you're looking for those You know, yeah, and it's it's it's it's a questionable to decision.
01:00:48
Sedaya Keita
And then trade Buka.
01:00:54
Dylan Fields
It's Sucks for mass fans. I feel for them. I feel like there should be some way to check these owners When they when they start making
01:01:01
bsmoove
I feel like the Chris stops one. I feel like the Chris isn't as bad, because he was hurt.
01:01:03
Sedaya Keita
Yeah.
01:01:07
bsmoove
They didn't like each other.
01:01:08
Sedaya Keita
Yo, he's having a good career, man.
01:01:08
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:01:10
Sedaya Keita
like
01:01:10
bsmoove
I mean, he's had an OK career, but like, yeah, they didn't like each other.
01:01:13
Dylan Fields
I mean, hindsight's 20, 20, I agree.
01:01:15
bsmoove
Like, they didn't get along. like they
01:01:17
Dylan Fields
But part of your GM job is to predict talent. Like, that's your job is to is to predict what's going to be, you know, you know, so.
01:01:24
bsmoove
I mean, they did draft Jalen, though, in the second round.
01:01:28
Dylan Fields
And then they let go of it for a chump change, like nothing.
01:01:32
Sedaya Keita
and they Traded them for carry their curry.
01:01:32
Dylan Fields
Right. Did they get?
01:01:36
Sedaya Keita
Oh No, that was after that was after and I'm tripping.
01:01:36
Dylan Fields
No.
01:01:37
bsmoove
ah
01:01:38
Dylan Fields
No, they got like spitzer did witty I think or something like it was it was not.
01:01:38
Sedaya Keita
I'm tripping Yeah, you're right youre right
01:01:39
bsmoove
They signed Tyree.
01:01:43
Dylan Fields
Yeah, it was not a lot of good.
01:01:44
bsmoove
But I mean, none of us knew Jalen was going to be Jalen.
01:01:45
Dylan Fields
trade He was a dog before he got traded.
01:01:48
bsmoove
I mean, he showed he went crazy in that playoff. He went crazy in that playoff run for sure. He definitely went crazy in that playoff run for sure. But yeah with that like he might be he might be the best Nick.
01:01:57
Dylan Fields
I hear you though.
01:01:59
bsmoove
He might mess around and be like the best Nick ever. or not maybe not best Nick ever, but he might be better than, what he's done for the Knicks might be better than like, maybe at least in like in the modern and the modern era, might be it might be the best thing we've seen.
01:02:15
bsmoove
like since like if he can take that If he can take that team to the finals, he he he might be better than Pat.
01:02:19
Sedaya Keita
Clean it up, clean it up.
01:02:23
Dylan Fields
He's a cleaner now.
01:02:24
bsmoove
He might be a better Nick than Pat. He's already a better Nick than Melo.
01:02:30
Dylan Fields
Delia.
01:02:32
bsmoove
He's accomplished more. He's accomplished more than Nick.
01:02:34

The perennial allstar all-star, all NBA guy.
01:02:43
Dylan Fields
Sonaya is hurt. Sonaya is hurt.
01:02:46
bsmoove
Took a pay cut for his man so the team could be good. Come on, man.
01:02:50
Dylan Fields

01:02:52
bsmoove
Come on, man.

Dylan Fields
So to clarify, we're saying mellow and pat.
01:02:53
Sedaya Keita

01:02:59
bsmoove
What did Mello do for the Knicks, bro? What i did Did I not say if he goes to the finals he might be?
01:03:02
Sedaya Keita
Patrick Ewing went to the final, i hear he always went to the finals with the Knicks. like
01:03:08

Wallace if I'm you're talking about projections. I'm talking about what he's done. I'm talking about body of work right now You're projecting
01:05:00
Sedaya Keita
No, you're not talking about what he's done because you're saying if you're saying ifs you said if he goes to the finals He went to the finals.
01:05:07
bsmoove
I'm saying to this point is up to the same amount or better than Carmelo body of work right now for the Knicks organization.
01:05:07
Sedaya Keita
Yes, you're talking about what he's done. You're talking about ifs
01:05:18
bsmoove

The Boston Celtics, the reigning champions.
01:06:16
Sedaya Keita
Okay, okay. Okay. So you don't even have you don't even have brunch and go into the finals issue Okay because he's going up against the great he wanted the greatest of all time Jilla Brunson ain't doing that and mellow went up against him by himself when no one knows wanted to do it super discriminable Jilla Brunson went in there and everything started getting sweet and the catering to him and all that
01:06:21
bsmoove
I don't have, I damn sure hey have Carmelo going to the finals damn there. Any year he was in the league, especially when he went for the. He had his authority.

I really liked that commercial because it like kind of really spoke to how much it impacted everything, you know not just basketball.
01:08:52
Sedaya Keita
Yeah.
01:08:53
Dylan Fields
you know how much Jordan in his shoe and the identity that he built and culture that he built around it had impacted everything. I mean, it was just crazy to see it kind of spider web out and put visuals to it. It was really dope. I really liked the commercial a lot.
01:09:11
Sedaya Keita
It was great. It was great. And I think like talking about how like you know they tried to ban it. You know what I'm saying? How they were like trying to get... They were like, yo, this is not allowed. And and he's like, yo, what if we just you know what if we went along with that? You know what I'm saying? I thought that was super dope. Who is the guy... was that Is that a specific person that like they were making fun of in the commercial? like The white guy with the glasses? Is he like he supposed to look like somebody?
01:09:36
Dylan Fields
o The guy they started with No, they said if he didn't pay the fine I think that's supposed to be ah Like they fill night maybe or whoever the lead was of like he at that time Because he was always cutting out the check because he would get all right Yeah, it is probably probably yeah, we should definitely probably though but
01:09:36
Sedaya Keita
and look Like there was like it was like if this guy like what was he thinking this guy right here or whatever at the end of it like That looks like that's supposed to be somebody I ain't gonna lie that looks like that's supposed to be somebody
01:10:03
Dylan Fields
um Yeah, no, it was really good. I thought it was really well done.
01:10:09

01:10:53
Dylan Fields
Hey, I'm going to let y'all, I'm going to let y'all get back to that, but there are a few more things I want to touch on real quick.
01:10:57
bsmoove
I just said we can move on.
01:10:57
Dylan Fields
Okay. So.
01:11:00
bsmoove
I'm just saying and get a look. I'm not looking up.
01:11:03
Dylan Fields
That's a conversation for later conversation for later conversation for later.
01:11:05
bsmoove
It gets spooky, gets spooky.
01:11:06
Dylan Fields
We all need to go back to that. What I would say is I know that last week that we were, when we recorded, we had touched on the ASAP Rocky trial.
ASAP Rocky's Trial and Challenges
01:11:16
Dylan Fields
Um, since then there's kind of been some more.
01:11:19
Dylan Fields
updates kind of shit that's came out um naturally through them doing their interview process and all that. What we've seen recently is really on the stand, actually been able to see him talk through kind of his perspective and he's getting grilled by the defense right now is what we've been seeing a lot.
01:11:38
Dylan Fields
So yeah, and so I don't know if you guys have been able to see much of it or
01:11:38
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, cross-examination.
01:11:41
bsmoove
Yeah man.
01:11:46
bsmoove
I mean, yeah, I mean, it's just like, just kind of what you've been saying that the cross examinations have been going on. He's taken the stand ah and he's been kind of fumbling that a little bit um kind of going out.
01:11:58
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
01:12:01
Dylan Fields
That's what I thought, man, when I was watching it. you know It felt like he was really giving the defense was doing what the defense needed to do.
01:12:09
bsmoove
Thank
01:12:10
Dylan Fields
And that's just give you a question of what the hell happened that day, or if you can trust this guy.
01:12:10
bsmoove
you know
01:12:13
bsmoove
and ah what
01:12:17
Dylan Fields
And they're doing that. They're breaking him down on the standard. It sucks because I definitely think, I mean, it does I don't want to see Rocky go away first off, but I definitely think that Rocky shot that man.
01:12:32
Dylan Fields
And so it's like, it's like, it's like, it's fucked.
01:12:33
Sedaya Keita
a
01:12:40
Sedaya Keita
ah for
01:12:40
Dylan Fields
It's fucked. It's like, I'm torn, right?
01:12:44
Sedaya Keita
yeah
01:12:45
Dylan Fields
It's like, I want to see you put your best foot out there, dude. I want you to be able to present yourself well, you know?
01:12:52
Sedaya Keita
oh was
01:12:53
Dylan Fields
and make sure that you're getting defended the way you need to, but at the same time, it's just, it's it's funny it's funny because you can see.
01:12:57
Sedaya Keita
You shot that nigga bro But I think it's like where I guess like it's with the starter pistol
01:13:05
Sedaya Keita
Rocky's like, i shot him I shot the starter pistol.
01:13:10
bsmoove
He yeah it was like, you baby. But it's just like, bro, what are you doing with a prop? The whole thing is weird, man. The whole thing is weird. And it's like, bro, first off, like them two brothers, like it just it's unfortunate because at one point, they were really, really good friends.
01:13:25
Sedaya Keita
Yeah.
01:13:26
bsmoove
And you would hope that even if they aren't homies like that, like they wouldn't be at a point to, they should ideally, they should be able to disagree without prop going.
01:13:28
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
01:13:38
Sedaya Keita
being on trial for their lives.
01:13:39
bsmoove
real guns being drawn, you know what I mean?
01:13:42
Dylan Fields
And without the court cases, like that's the.
01:13:44
bsmoove
But it's like, the whole, yeah, it's all it's all weird.
01:13:44
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, like they're on trial for their lives. on It's just crazy.
01:13:52
bsmoove
But yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. da i don't know if he I don't know if Rocky, I don't know if he shot him. ah
01:13:59
Sedaya Keita
I mean, not taking the please.
01:14:02
bsmoove
ah He definitely feels comfortable.
01:14:03
Sedaya Keita
Talk about standing on business, you know what I'm saying?
01:14:06
Dylan Fields
After these past few, yeah, I agree with you, Brad.
01:14:09
bsmoove
he definitely will He definitely feel confident in his lawyer.
01:14:09
Dylan Fields
I think he feels confident too.
01:14:13
bsmoove
um and I mean, like you said, it's, a I mean, these trials aren't necessarily about ah coming down with the truth. It's about being able to prove, it's about being able to prove, it's about being able to, not necessarily, you know what I mean?
01:14:24
Sedaya Keita
yeah reasonable doubt create reasonable doubt create reasonable doubt
01:14:32
bsmoove
He can do that. ah I agree. I'm with you, Dylan. I don't want to see nobody get locked up, for especially for as long as they were saying he could be down for it. um He got a lot to live for. and But it's just crazy, though.
01:14:44
bsmoove
I wish both of them brothers the best of luck, man. We'll definitely keep updating with the trial as more information continues to come out.
01:14:48
Dylan Fields
Very.
01:14:52
bsmoove
But yeah, that cross-examination definitely,
01:14:53
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
01:14:55
bsmoove
definitely at best, worked in Rocky's favor. I'm outside looking in and at worst definitely kind of started to plant those seeds of doubt or at least like make you look at really a little side eye because now it's like name bro you know do you not much more yeah
01:15:15
Dylan Fields
He started like coming at the at the prosecutor like it it was I mean, I get it, bro. I get it. You're all instead having to answer hard questions for people that are directing them in weird ways, trying to frame you in weird ways when they know that what they're doing is wrong and shady.
01:15:33
Dylan Fields
And it's like, but that's what you're in. And that's what you agreed to.
01:15:35
Sedaya Keita
It's a court of law, boy, yeah. This ain't Harlem.
01:15:37
Dylan Fields
That's what I'm saying. And that's what, right.
01:15:39
Sedaya Keita
This ain't Harlem.
01:15:39
Dylan Fields
It's not. and it's not you You see what he cuts away at points where he like sits there and he talks about Man, I can't fucking believe this shit. You got me looking stupid out here in 5G, blah, blah, blah.
01:15:50
Dylan Fields
like And it was just, it sucked. Because it's like, hold that in, bro. Hold that in. I feel you. But hold it in. like You can't do that.
01:16:02
Dylan Fields
Because immediately, that is just going to feed into it. But I will say, to kind of segue, unless y'all have anything else to add to the topic, sir.
01:16:06
bsmoove
Yeah.
01:16:13
Sedaya Keita
no No, no, no, I mean, not yet.
01:16:16
Dylan Fields
What I was going to say is in the light of of recent...
01:16:22
Dylan Fields
Man, I went online the other day. I was trying to look up topics. I was trying to look up what the
01:16:28
Dylan Fields
And the only thing that I could find, bro, was this TDE thing, bro.
01:16:34
Sedaya Keita
yeah man
01:16:36
Dylan Fields
The sexual assault laws.
01:16:37
Sedaya Keita
Yeah, man. There's a lot of cases for on hip hop for.
01:16:42
bsmoove
And we were talking about that Dr. Dre, like the, the award being named after him, uh, for the Grammys. And it's like, while we, it is interesting while we, he's like, he's someone that has a past, not necessarily of like assault essay and women, but definitely of like assaulting women.
01:17:00
Sedaya Keita
there Yeah.
01:17:01
bsmoove
Uh, and, uh,
01:17:01
Sedaya Keita
Mm hmm. Nope.
01:17:05
bsmoove
Yeah, it just it just speaks to how prevalent that problematic behavior is, not just in hip hop, but just in within society. And also how like it speaks to the duality of like these great artists that create these or help create these great moments for us, but also are capable or may be capable of doing some very very problematic dark things that we may not be such as fans, big fans of. So yeah, it's definitely interesting, but please then we continue to introduce the topic.
Sexual Assault Allegations Against TDE
01:17:45
Dylan Fields
Yeah, I mean, so basically what we found is that ah it was Musa and one other person, if I can't, I can't remember um who it was that had gotten um kind of wrapped into this whole thing of essentially what, from what I could understand, yeah, Tiffith.
01:18:06
bsmoove
Brandon. ti
01:18:09
Dylan Fields
So I think both of them are sons of Topknot.
01:18:12
Sedaya Keita
Yep, yep.
01:18:13
bsmoove
Brother.
01:18:14
Dylan Fields
Which brings up another question, you know, SZA kind of left in a very mysterious manner recently, right?
01:18:16
bsmoove
They they were the
01:18:21
Dylan Fields
And I'm wondering if that has something to do with her leaving the management side of things, if it has something to do with that. You know, I really wonder, but but outside of that, what I'd say is that the topic that was brought up was that they were kind of conditioning women to say that, hey, you know,
01:18:34
bsmoove
thank click
01:18:40
Dylan Fields
you know, come hang out with me, come record with me, yada, yada, I'm gonna get you into TDE, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah, they would wrap them in and kind of manipulate them into doing things that they didn't want to do in the process of doing that.
01:18:54
Dylan Fields
And it's just like, man, it sucks that we have to have this ah as a topic, you know? But it's like, it's something that you have
01:19:02
Sedaya Keita
Especially on such a big, what, you know, this just came out right before the Grammys where they were going nuts, where Dolce was winning, a black woman.
01:19:09
Dylan Fields
and people that have all the access to power, money, respect. I mean, it's just a, and you have to do it that way.
01:19:16
Sedaya Keita
Yeah.
01:19:17
bsmoove
You know.
01:19:18
Dylan Fields
It sucks, man. It sucks.
01:19:20
Sedaya Keita
You know, and it sucks. It has to go through, you know, the, you know, the judicial system where, again, it's not necessarily about what's right or wrong. It's about, you know, just proving that reasonable doubt.
01:19:30
Sedaya Keita
You know what I'm saying? Like, it's very unfortunate. And, you know, we don't really know.
01:19:33
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:19:35
Sedaya Keita
We don't have the details or any of that shit yet, really. in um
01:19:38
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:19:39
Sedaya Keita
you know Just prayers are all, right? like you know we're we're We're still young men. We haven't really been involved in court cases and stuff like that. like But you know we've been told, I'm sure, by our OGs, like it's nothing to play with, man. It's a different game in there, you know what I mean? And you know we just hate to see things like this, especially when people that um you know inspired us and had a hand in changing our lives, that put us in the chairs that we're in right now to do what we're doing right now, you know what I mean? and um You know, ah we just got to just take this as a lesson. Like, you know, like, you know, everybody's human. Everybody's capable of something, man. And, you know, we just got to keep everyone in check and just keep, you know, staying positive and, you know, staying away from bullshit like this being, being where you're supposed to be doing what you're supposed to be doing. You know what I mean? That's the key to really all of this. You know, you don't want to be anywhere you ain't supposed to be. So this is unfortunate, really.
01:20:33
bsmoove
yeah and And yeah, I mean, and just to kind of add to like just the muddiness of it all, um one of the one of the alleged women is, um her name is Linda Luna.
01:20:33
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:20:54
bsmoove
She is someone that has a past of working with Dennis Graham, you know, Drake's father.
01:21:04
bsmoove
on the marketing side. ah And kind of as you were kind of alluding to, Sadiah, just the timing of the suit, I believe like the i will leave the initial the initial filing was in like December, but like just for it to be announced in the way that it was on, like you said, on Grammy night, where you where they have so many prominent TDE artists, not to say ah not to say that like,
01:21:12
Dylan Fields
Huh.
01:21:29
bsmoove
Because again, if this is like the legal system is a legal system, if they can't they don't have a they I don't know how much control that they have over like how these things process, how we find how that information gets distributed to the media, and how we find out about that stuff. But it is, like you said, the timing of it all does seem a little murky at at best.
01:21:52
bsmoove
um but Hopefully these these things aren't, and and these aren't, then she isn't filing a criminal suit. This is a civil suit. um So she is hoping to get monetary damages. ah She is hoping to get monetary damages out of this out of this case. And not to say that that um dilutes the claim or anything, just ah yes to kind of clarify that she isn't, like be these folks aren't being arrested. They haven't been indicted by anything. they haven't been
01:22:23
bsmoove
They haven't come into contact with police or anything like that.
01:22:23
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:22:26
bsmoove
It's basically, it is just a ah it is just a civil claim at this point. ah So yeah, it's unfortunate regardless for all parties, definitely nothing to play around with.
01:22:40
bsmoove
And hopefully we this will and we'll keep folks updated if we learn more information about it.
01:22:40
Dylan Fields
right
01:22:45
bsmoove
But yeah, it's unfortunate um that that night kind of tainted with that.
01:22:49
Sedaya Keita
Yeah Especially to a label like TDE man who's kept it clean for ever You know, this is one of the this is a top tier, you know record label.
01:22:56
bsmoove
For the most part.
01:23:02
Sedaya Keita
This is the creme de la creme You know, this is what's been representing the west coast for you know, the dominant year last year in the past decade so You know, I guess we'll kind of see what happens man
01:23:10
bsmoove
Mm hmm.
01:23:16
Sedaya Keita
Um, you know, as far as us, man, is there anything else that we, uh, we're kind of interested in, um, any, I guess any TV shows that we're kind of watching right now kind of going on.
01:23:28
bsmoove
Where I've been watching? on Big, I mean, Big Abbott.
01:23:32
Sedaya Keita
Movies, TVs, albums we listen to anything.
01:23:35
bsmoove
Big Abbott Elementary guy.
01:23:36
Sedaya Keita
and I that's like great show.
01:23:37
bsmoove
um I'm rewatching this one for all.
01:23:39
Dylan Fields
Oh, I've been meaning to watch that man. Is it good?
01:23:42
bsmoove
ah It's okay. I'm not gonna, it's good for what it is, you know what I mean? It's definitely, again, Black History Month. You know, we love seeing Black creators in the, in all, predominantly all, but not all, predominantly Black cast.
01:23:57
bsmoove
um They just got reviewed for another season. So hopefully they can get to that 100 episode mark and become syndicated, which would be super cool if they can kind of eat off those royalties for forever.
01:24:11
bsmoove
But yeah, man, it's definitely definitely entertaining. If you like the office, definitely like that office type of funny, kind of like but at times it can be a little cheesy, but you know, it' good yeah really but it's a good.
01:24:18
Dylan Fields
Okay. Yes, I like that.
01:24:23
bsmoove
It's a good feel good watch.

01:27:53
Sedaya Keita
bro.
01:27:54
Dylan Fields
likey texts popular out here.
01:27:55
Sedaya Keita
That's not what I took from that video. It's not what I took from that video.
01:27:58
Dylan Fields
what What happened? What? What?
01:28:00
Sedaya Keita
That's not what I took from that video.
01:28:01
Dylan Fields
Talk to the people.
01:28:02
Sedaya Keita
Yo, he was just, you know, he was hype about the album and shit.
01:28:02
Dylan Fields
What what happened?
01:28:05
Sedaya Keita
And he was just talking about, he was just repping for, he was just repping for his fucking shit. Just repping for England. That's what I took from him. He was just repping for England. He was like, yo, we just the wave now.
01:28:14
Dylan Fields
Okay.
01:28:15
Sedaya Keita
And I mean, and the Nike texts prove it.
01:28:16
Dylan Fields
Oh.
01:28:17
bsmoove
How?
01:28:18
Sedaya Keita
You know what I mean?
01:28:18
Dylan Fields
Oh.
01:28:20
Sedaya Keita
That's what I kind of took from it, really. I don't really think he was saying I was the one. I think he was more like just like the wave, the England wave. And you know, ah if I'm being for real, if I'm being for real, if I'm being for real, like I don't really, I'm not like the fashion nigga. Like I'm not a super fashion like guru. I know how to dress nice, but I don't, I can't tell you who did what or why people are wearing what they're wearing. I feel like Nike text is big here because of Drake. If I'm really being honest with you,
01:28:49
Sedaya Keita
I see, I just, I just seen Drake wearing this shit and I saw a lot of people, that's just me. I don't know.
01:28:55
bsmoove
When, when have you, when, when, when have you.
01:28:58
Sedaya Keita
Cause Drake, Drake was doing all the Nike, Drake was doing all the Nike shit when he had the shoes and he started having like these custom Nike texts and all that other shit. Like that's when I really started seeing a lot of people wearing like the Nike texts.
01:29:09
bsmoove
That's, this nigga who, this nigga used to be a basketball player, like people, that's wild, but this nigga just said that shit.
01:29:09
Sedaya Keita
That's just me.
01:29:17
Sedaya Keita
I mean, we talking about like the, I mean, obviously we had like the, we had like the jumpsuits and shit like that, but I wasn't wearing Nike texts to who?
01:29:23
bsmoove
ah
01:29:26
bsmoove
I mean, people don't wear people don't hoop in tech, but the fact that, that's just wild, that you, damn.
01:29:26
Sedaya Keita
I wasn't wearing Nike texts to who?
01:29:34
Sedaya Keita
So why are they popular in the States then? Like what made Nike texts popular in the States?
01:29:37
bsmoove
Well, first off, because Nike is an American company, like let's just start from there. What the fuck? It's a company that's in Portland, Oregon, which is in America. like
01:29:51
Sedaya Keita
he
01:29:52
bsmoove
What the fuck are we talking about, bro?
01:29:52
Dylan Fields
yeah
01:29:55
bsmoove
ah I mean, to quote, bro, I'm going to push back, you know what I mean?
01:29:55
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
01:29:59
bsmoove
Because to quote Central C, he said, why and I feel him. You feeling in this stuff right now. And I do think like it's cool to see him doing the branding on the tech.
01:30:09
bsmoove
like I think that's something that I like. More people should like get hit to like more normal people not like and NBA players and whatnot She could get him to is like I said putting like their brand on the on the tech But he was like he was in the the question what they asked him.
01:30:26
bsmoove
He has it around. I forget what they asked him But bro, it's like I'm not going to lie on the influence tank like on the Nike tech We got people dressing like us ah and it's like bro No
01:30:37
Sedaya Keita
That's what I'm saying. Like when I think of the Nike take I don't I think of British niggas like I've seen them wearing their shit for real more than Yeah, I don't I know I don't Nike Texas Drake New York in British niggas and like that's when when I see a Nike tech like down here I don't see Nike text niggas ain't wearing Nike texts out here
01:30:42
bsmoove
You're bad. But you just said you don't you don't pay attention to. I mean, clearly you don't pay attention to fashion stuff if you just said you just said Drake is the the reason that Nike.
01:31:04
bsmoove
This is not gold.
01:31:06
Sedaya Keita
It's not cold.
01:31:06
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:31:07
Sedaya Keita
We don't need that he takes so to a nigga in Florida when you so when you think of a Nike check, okay, New York niggas British niggas and drape with his nocturne I'm just telling you I'm just telling you what it I'm just telling you from Orlando nigga, bro I'm just telling you what it is from Orlando, bro

01:31:24
bsmoove
Yeah, that's wow, bro. That is definitely.
01:31:26
Sedaya Keita
I mean, that's what it is. Like I'm, I'm literally like, I'm literally thinking of British and New York niggas tech Nike texts.
01:31:28
bsmoove
and i
01:31:35
Sedaya Keita
Like that's what I think of a Nike tech.
01:31:37
bsmoove
Even that sentence alone, like TikTok has been around for like four or four or five years max. like Nike Tech has been popular much longer than four or five years, brother.
01:31:48
bsmoove
like We've been at a high school for longer than that. like and Nike Tech was definitely popular in high school.
01:31:52
Dylan Fields
Yeah.
01:31:55
bsmoove
like What are we talking about?
01:31:56
Sedaya Keita
For real?
01:31:59
bsmoove
Yes. Yes. the fuck?
01:32:03
Sedaya Keita
Nike Tech?
01:32:04
bsmoove
Central City wasn't wearing Nike Tech, man.
01:32:06
Sedaya Keita
I don't remember Nike Tech. I remember Dry Fit.
01:32:08
bsmoove
as
01:32:08
Sedaya Keita
I remember the Elite Socks.
01:32:09
bsmoove
did and Again, you have to write context, brother. Where were you at in high school?
01:32:15
Sedaya Keita
Ohio.
01:32:16
bsmoove
Not just Ohio, a very specific part of Ohio.
01:32:18
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:32:20
bsmoove
like ex Exactly, bro.
01:32:20
Sedaya Keita
Dublin, Ohio. Dublin, Ohio.
01:32:22
bsmoove
we Yeah, we're not the epicenter of culture.
01:32:24
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:32:27
bsmoove
That's crazy. So I say all of that to say, Nike Tech was popularized by ah American athletes such as Giannis, KD.
01:32:41
bsmoove
At one point, remember when Giannis didn't wet we didn't see I remember for a time.
01:32:45
Sedaya Keita
like these are these are the warm ups with the hoodies
01:32:47
bsmoove
Can you let me yeah let me get my shit off, brother? But ah these are like those are like just the highest Nike Tech is just expensive sweatsuits. They're just expensive sweatsuits.
01:32:58
bsmoove
Tax tone once said and he's a New York nigga. a Nike tech in a bottle of Henny is a, that's a winter coat. You know what I mean? Like that was in 20, that's like in 2013. Wait, at that point, because, because he wilded out and said this pictures have started to circulate of what central C looked like when he was, what he looked like when it was 2012 and 2013 and he wasn't in Nike tech. He was, he, he was looking like, he didn't look the same. We'll put it like that. I ain't go, I ain't go.
01:33:31
bsmoove
Throw no shade. I ain't going to throw too much smut on his name. But he wasn't he wasn't the central seed that we see today. very he you looked a very He looked very different. He looked very, very different. He looked more, I think now he's a little, he looks a little racially ambiguous. He like he didn't look too racially ambiguous back then. He looked like what we both like what most people think he is. he looked I don't know if he's white. I don't know if he's Italian. But yeah, he didn't he kind of looked black now. I ain't saying he's trying to be black, but he kind of looked black.
01:34:01
bsmoove
He definitely didn't look like that back then. oh And he wasn't in no tech. And people were definitely wearing tech. It was like, what are we talking about, citrusy? I do think that the Brits, they wear like the, um their version of Nike tech would be like Stone Island.
01:34:11
Dylan Fields
right
01:34:17
bsmoove
Like they definitely wear like the gork core type of stuff. But like Nike tech is an American thing. And how so the Brits, y'all can wear it, wave or whatever.
01:34:31
bsmoove
but The Nike tech, when people couldn't afford the Gucci suits, you could get you a Nike tech for 120, man.
01:34:34
Dylan Fields
Yeah, y'all hear that? Y'all hear that?
01:34:43
bsmoove
You know what I'm saying? You could get you that Nike tech hoodie for 120 bucks. You know what I mean? And that's a jug fit. So much of American fashion is from drug dealers.
01:34:56
bsmoove
You want to talk about, so a Nike tech is something you can sit in for days.
01:35:01
Sedaya Keita
So drugs or drug dealers, American drug dealers popularized Nike tech.
01:35:05
bsmoove
Drug dealers and athletes, like they most like what? Most.
01:35:08
Sedaya Keita

01:35:09
bsmoove

01:35:14
Sedaya Keita
Drug dealers and athletes is white culture.
01:35:17

01:40:16

01:40:38
Dylan Fields
Damn.
01:40:41
Sedaya Keita

01:40:42
Dylan Fields

01:41:02
Sedaya Keita
Love you All right, there you go That's all you care about fuck citrusy in that statement it wasn't England nigger
01:41:06
bsmoove
I'm going earlier than that, but nonetheless, before Central Seed. So my point, right? He's bugging. Never.
01:41:18
Sedaya Keita
do You see okay. Okay. So hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Do you see a rivalry between like London and UK and like what's going on with that like this brother-brother thing going on like Because like cause like a lot of people would say like the New York sound now, like that drill shit, which I don't even know if that's a sound now, like that's just kind of over with, was UK's original sound, right?
01:41:39
bsmoove
Yep.
01:41:39
Sedaya Keita
And again, this whole Nike tech perspective that people like me would probably have, similar ghettos, things like that. like do you see Do you see any like resemblance or anything like that?
01:41:50
Sedaya Keita
like Where are we at with this? Cause I feel like New York is falling and they need an identity. And I personally feel like New York has kind of tried to really attach themselves to the UK in order to kind of put themselves back in the mix.
01:42:03
bsmoove
um I mean, I definitely think New York is in a bit of an identity crisis when it comes to the music, but when it comes to fashion, like and the same way that there's a London Fashion Week, like there's a New York Fashion Week. The same way that like London is a center of culture, like let's not get it fucked up. like american America is the center for pop culture. like It's a reason why these UK niggas want to pop over here. like they can It's cool to be the man over there, but they want to be the man over here, too. like And it's a reason for that. Because it hit different when you demand over here. oh So yeah, and I think this like, and i guess that's more like the I guess that's more to the, that's more of my like pushback with the Central Sea shit. It's just like, and the same way that like
01:42:58
bsmoove
It's just another example of motherfuckers trying to take credit for shit, for our shit, like black shit. like in this you We were talking about recency bias. That's that recency bias shit. like this No, nigga, what are you talking about? This is a no. I can't now don't i can't go. i don't dare I can't go. I'm not with it. ah So yeah, I think UK is definitely trying to make a bold claim that oh

that they hear and that they want to be acknowledged. um um I respect that. ah But yeah, i think ah i think when it I think that regardless of where the music is, New York is always going to be a fashion epicenter in the same way that is always going to kind of compet compete with London and ah and you get and with the with over with the people over the pond. but At the end of the day, man, I'm an American, baby.

01:44:23
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:44:24
bsmoove
But I'm just saying. This is another example of folks not really doing their homework. Because for him to say that so boldly, it speaks to his lack of it speaks to his lack of history, his lack of perspective. Because niggas been throwing on the text for a long time. And for him to think that people over here are now starting to are panted, that it's a trend again.
01:44:51
bsmoove
um Again, this speaks to that lack of sort speaks to that lack of perspective to me. So so yeah, that's all. You know what I'm saying? I that this just when he just wanted to educate the brothers all.

01:46:17
bsmoove
um she has a She has a kind of like a global chapter. She's established for, inmates, where she sends inmates free books throughout the throughout the country, throughout the world. They just opened a chapter in Nigeria, I believe. um And early this week, she announced that financially that they were struggling and she was fearing that they might have to stop doing it. And she ended up asking for just dollar just for she was asking for folks to donate, sign up to the Patreon. You can it's like tiered the list where you can subscribe to um
01:46:54
bsmoove
But yeah, she was just like, put her pride aside and asked the world if they could contribute. And she announced yesterday that a bunch of people poured into it Black History Miracle.
01:47:08
Dylan Fields
Awesome.
01:47:08
bsmoove
And they're going to be able to, not only are they going to be able to continue the continue the program, but they're also looking to continue to expand it.
01:47:14
Dylan Fields
Oh yeah.
01:47:16
bsmoove
um So yeah, just wanted to highlight Again, Black History Miracle, that we gonna keep those programs alive. And if you weren't able to don't, if you can't sign up to her thing, like I said, it's called the no name. Excuse me, let me, I'm gonna look up it specifically. I'm gonna say the wrong thing, but.
01:47:35
Sedaya Keita
That's super dope to highlight though, man. you know Especially someone like No Name who's like just actually putting in the real work. You know what I'm saying? like Really actually just get into it. You know what I'm saying? A lot of people don't know No Name.
01:47:46
Sedaya Keita
You know, even just you hear it in her music, like just the progressiveness and the content and, you know, just showing how much she really cares about the community.
01:47:54
bsmoove
bro
01:47:54
Sedaya Keita
But, you know, seeing it seeing it match with actions is like a really beautiful thing to see. You know what I'm saying? Now, someone who is doing it for the gram or trying to highlight it for, you know, clout purposes and unlike that, she just really just loves her community and her people.
01:48:09
Sedaya Keita
You know, so that's actually super dope that you even brought that up, bro.
01:48:12
bsmoove

01:48:12
Sedaya Keita

01:48:18
bsmoove
And there this the link to her Patreon, you can choose a membership. Like I said, there's tiered. You can sign up for $1 a month, $2 a month, $5 a month. ah Sure, all I'm sure whatever. or Or you can just do like a random or you could just do a donation, a gift. Or you can gift a membership to someone. um But yeah, super dope that a bunch of people were able to pour into that program. And um I think we need more ah more just more transparency with ah amongst ourselves.
01:48:53
bsmoove
Like when we need help, cause she has said she's at times she's tried to take on the burden of like paying for it herself. And while she is like, you know, we kind of know her, um she's not as rich as you would assume she is.
01:49:07
bsmoove
um So yeah, it was just super dope that people were able to pour into her, pour into that organization, pour into that, pour into her work.
01:49:09
Dylan Fields
Right.
01:49:16
bsmoove
and keep educating folks as incarcerated and unincarcerated delight, because like I said, they fund the books to get sent to the incart to the incarcerated folks for free, but they also have, like I said, it so it is a regular book club where they have meetings in different cities. You can read the book, you can read the book online. They have virtual meetings as well. A super, super cool program. So just wanted to highlight that. And I was just really happy for her that they weren't, that she was able to keep those doors open and
