Chapter 2: Who has better rappers: New York or Detroit?
Because why I'm making that comparison is, yes, of course, New York freestyle like that. But New York was so focused on making songs from the 90s and 2000s in Philly and Detroit. It was just rapping. Hours on end, just rap it. Philly is one of my favorite rap cities. You'll never hear me say anything about the Spitters. I'm talking about the niggas that really could rap from Philly.
Like, it's incredible bars that we can quote. But when you say best rap cities and you go Detroit and Philly and it's like, what? I think M, Royce, and Elzai is the craziest three when it comes to just rapping. Like, period. Jay Nas and Bigg. They focus more on songs. Smoke show. What are you talking about? Smoke show. What are we talking about? Nobody raps better than Jay, Nas, and Big.
Nobody on planet Earth. I'm not going to disagree. Because you know where my bias stands on everything. So what are we talking about? People are going to get on y'all ass fighting for Eminem to be better than all three of them. Y'all do not know. Better than who? Jay, Nas, or Big? Yeah. Nah. You niggas better go back and listen to some music. Jay-Z, Nas, and Biggie are the best rappers.
I always take Jay over Em in any category. But I can totally see why someone would be like, nah, M, if you print out a piece of paper, yes, he's rapping better than everybody. That's what I'm talking about. Somebody from L.A. is screaming across the coast right now. About what? About L.A. rappers? Mm-hmm. Respect to all the major cities.
You know, we can name a bunch of cities, but I'm just saying Rory said- I made the word even the last 10 years that L.A. has been out rapping everybody.
Yeah.
That LA's been out rapping everybody? We've had this conversation. Easy. But if you're going back to the 90s, like, yeah, is Snoop incredible? Of course. But it doesn't add up to all the rappers that were in New York at that time. You told about rapping. Every time you say Snoop name, I just think about that Snoop and DMX verses. I hate that verse so much. I hate that they did that.
That matchup? You didn't hate that matchup? Of course I did. I hate it. I really can't believe they did that. DMX said he was molested and y'all kept dancing. See, you always got to make it weird. That was my takeaway from that. Yeah, I hated that matchup. I never think that Snoop and DMX was supposed to be in a versus against each other.
I didn't like that matchup, but rest in peace to the X. To be fair, sorry. Who would you have rather matched them up with? Because what I saw that was... I saw that as more of a celebration than a real versus because who would you put them against? Snoop? Snoop might be easier. Who would you put DMX against? I don't know who I would have put X against.

Chapter 3: What does T-Pain say about fake friends in the music industry?
But even out of that, there was an elevation. You go to get to Uptown after that. You know what I'm saying? And then you and Andre Harrell fall out. And then you take what you learned from Andre Harrell where, you know, like I'll be showing these people was talking like none of these guys got really paid from Uptown. Like they got that, they advanced.
But after that, a lot of these artists struggled. Go to bad boy, start your thing. A lot of those artists can say the same thing. Craig Mack has, he's Grammy nominated. He has a number one song and He can barely pay his bills. And then he asks you for money and his wife says you pull out a hundred dollar bill and give it to him. It's like for people to have these stories, it's like,
Something, somebody ain't, everybody can't be lying. Like, that's just my thing. When everybody gets to talking, it's like. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Yeah, everybody can't be lying. Now, is there some things that, you know, is it 100% true and maybe that's their perspective on how things happen? We understand how things get a little blurry there.
But the bottom line is when you look at, you know, the things that happened as far as the tragedies and then look and saw how Puff was able to elevate from that and was the one that kind of became, you know, the star and things like that. It does raise an eyebrow. Like that's something that you kind of got to look at with a side eye. Like something ain't right here. Yeah.
I mean, Puff came across as probably the greatest self-preservation human being I've ever seen. To your point, every time something bad happened to everyone, including himself in that circle. he would find a way for everyone else to be the fall people and for him to continue on.
No matter what scheme or way he had to go about it, he's always gonna self-preserve no matter what, even with the bad boy family. Well, I'm not going down. I gotta keep the family moving. Do you think that started around the City College thing? Because I almost watched it kind of in reverse in my head towards the end, thinking of that moment. Yes, Puff was just a young party promoter.
Should the cops have probably had a better structure there? Should Puff have maybe had better security? Of course. There's a bunch of what ifs there. I'm not saying he's completely innocent, but still. He's throwing a charity basket. He doesn't know about that shit. It's unfortunate what happened.
Because he got out of that scot-free and then even said himself at that point, I had never been that famous in my life. I immediately became famous because of a tragedy.
Mm-hmm.

Chapter 4: How does the music industry affect personal relationships?
It's mad back. Patting a man's back might be gayer. Nah, you skip the back and go and tap his ass. Yeah, it's a little homoerotic. Y'all, I'm not here to defend it. I don't fully understand it either. I mean, I guess because your arms are there after the free throw. It's just like in reaching distance. I'm not going to try to clean it up. I can't. I didn't invent it. I didn't participate in it.
I'm a victim of that as well. Like, I've done it. I've received it. Like, just be honest. I played ball growing up. But we weren't looking at it like, yo, that's some weird shit. It was just shit that we did. And then a nigga fuck around. Don't, like, have no meat on your ass. A nigga fuck around and slap your, like, good game and you got a recoil? Crazy.
Your ass jiggling after a free throw is crazy. That's fucking crazy. Your ass having recall as a man is wild, dog. That is wild. And somebody notices it. Like, you got the football tights on and they saw it. Yeah, like, because that's my thing. Like, so y'all do that to, like, even no ass, even the home, because everybody know the football player with the fat ass.
Like, we all went to school with the football player with the fat ass. You telling me you tapped his ass and you ain't feel it bouncing back? Nah, you niggas is gay. I don't care. We had on gloves. I didn't play football. Basketball shorts looser. Yeah. Listen, baby D, I'm not here to argue with you or defend it. It's crazy. It is some weird shit.
Like, I get it, but, you know, we weren't looking at it through that lens. Some of y'all wasn't. Some of y'all, that's how some of y'all discovered y'all was gay. That's a fact. Well, I definitely wasn't looking through that lens. I definitely... I didn't, that's why I stopped playing ball so many years ago. I was like, you know what? That's why you gave up the game?
I was like, yeah, the same for me.
You would've went to the league if they wasn't slapping asses, right? If they wasn't slapping asses, I might've went pro. I ain't gonna lie, bro. Might've went pro. That's how straight you are. I gave up a professional basketball career. I was like, I don't like that shit, man. So what happens if you get up after this and Peej goes, good pod? Yeah, no, we're not doing that.
That's sexual harassment in the workplace. Definitely that, 100%. That would be funny if an athlete, because you would have some grounds for that. You're in the workplace. If my teammates smack me on the ass after a free throw, I'm in the workplace. I'm on the clock. I didn't ask for that. That's just weird, though. But I get it. But Baby D, I'm glad you shed light on finding out how you're gay.
I think that's important. I think women need to hear that. I mean, but I was very young. I won't say which age again because it will expose the friend, but I was very young, so. I just think it happens a lot in adulthood because, as we said, women aren't really friends with each other.
