Chapter 2: What are the highlights of the New Year's music discussion?
Talk about being in Miami. Talk about what you're drinking. Or no, no. You got to say these bitches still go to Miami. Yeah. You been off Miami. Yeah. No, we don't do Miami anymore. Even though you was in January, you was there. Yeah. But February, no. You got kind of shit on Miami. You got to act like you fake been somewhere before. You got some stamps on your passport.
Talk about John Mary jeans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All of that bullshit. Can we leave bragging about the places you went in 2022 if you didn't pay for them? And you can't say you bitches go nowhere when someone else bought your tickets, Turkz. Oh, now you're asking them not to say anything. Yeah, enjoy your vacation.
You reference him or ask about y'all chains if the record label paid for them, if that's the case.
Well, I'm going to give that money back. How is that different?
I'm going to recoup. Because if I'm signed to a label, yes, I'm an artist. They own my masters.
I can't own my chain?
Yeah, yeah, like, come on, man. Like, I got to pay for it somehow. Like, nah, we can't do that. What happened to love songs? That's what I realized on New Year's Eve. Love songs just don't really exist. I'm kind of sick of these moody bitches. As much as I love R&B right now, I do kind of miss love. No, love still exists. No, it's just mad toxic behavior. Everyone fucking each other over.
I just told you it's easy to write for artists now, but there's some love songs still out there. They rap about sex or they rap about hating men. There is no in-between. Yeah, the artists now get right to it. They don't whine and dine in the music.
They get straight to, yo, I know my girl and you and my girl are best friends, but we both been eyeing each other for a while, so let's just go in the coat room and fuck real quick and act like it never happened. Like, that's romantic these days. Oddly specific. I mean, yeah. Yeah, is that an experience you want to share? I may have fucked in the coat room twice or three times before.

Chapter 3: How did Rory's Christmas shroom trip unfold?
They'll definitely do the laugh and be right on you. Yeah. But yeah, no, New Year's was a lot of fun. But we didn't really do... A real 2020 recap. That was going to be our plan for our episode that was canceled. So we don't have to spend too much time on it. But we should get into some of the music. We didn't want to do it on live because I don't know if that's that's really it.
So I will start with you think every Griselda release was the best of the year. uh one the one album that i i we spoke about this off camera that i felt like was um definitely should have gotten more attention for rap album of the year was uh pray for haiti my commies album that was probably my favorite rap album yeah I didn't see too many people giving that the recognition they deserve.
I still go back to that album and listen to it, and it sounds better every time I hear it. So that, to me, my commies album was one of my favorite rap albums of the year, for sure.
Call Me If You Get Lost which I just think is a brilliant title in itself that I think was contended for probably rap album of the year as far as not my favorite but I think that may have been the best rap album per se and I think that kind of puts Tyler in a different Category.
I know we've come on here and give Tyler plenty of his flowers, but to be able to do Igor and that be, in my opinion, the best album period of that year. And then to switch over and make the best rap album of the year. You're different. You're in a different category. Yeah. Drastically different category to me.
And there was some there was some other albums that I've seen on a few lists that I kind of like, OK. Off-season Cole, I think, certainly should be placed there. Vince Staples' album, Vince Staples, was fucking amazing. Hitler Wears Hermes 8. We had Ross on here with Chomp, too. I thought Sky Zoo, All the Brilliant Things, was really good. Benny Plugs, I met, too. King's Disease.
Max O'Kareem, Way to the World. Polo G. Polo G had a great album. Hall of Fame was dope.
um so it was some really good music that came out yeah i wasn't mad at it wasn't mad at the year it was some really really good music i think people you know coming off the first year of the pandemic i think people kind of figured figured their their way out in 2021 yeah and how they wanted to release music and if they were able to perform certain venues and things like that but i wasn't mad like going back looking at some of the lists of the music that came out it was some really good music that came out last year no i completely agree um as far as r&b
R&B was good this year. I don't know if I want to say it was outstanding the way it has been the last few years. It wasn't a bad year, but it was a dull year, I think, just because it's been on a high for a really long time. I think Jasmine Sullivan, without question, I don't think that's a debate, had by far the best R&B album. That was 2021? Top of 2021. Right? The Hotels? Hotels.

Chapter 4: What are the main points of B-Dot's annual rap list?
He put it over Wayne's neck? That's nasty. Lil Wayne. The B-Dot Olympics? Two is J. Cole. Three is Drake with the bronze. Four, Freddie Gibbs. Five, Conway the Machine. Nas, Benny the Butcher. Lil Baby, Matt Comey, and Lil Durk. Was Lil Baby's album this year? No, it was last year. It was last year. That was a great album. But he's still on every song in the world.
Chapter 5: How do Kanye and Jeff Bezos handle their singledom?
No, of course. I'm fine with Lil Baby there. I just couldn't remember whose album it was because I really like that album. He gave Drake a bronze medal? Mm-hmm. That's funny as fuck. You give Drake a bronze. Listen. Well, J. Cole got the silver. In B-Dot's world, Drake cannot say top two and not two. So wait, he gave Lil Wayne the gold with no album.
Gave J. Cole the silver and gave Drake the bronze. I see what's going on in this industry. A-Kar, I see what's going on. This shit is crazy, man.
Chapter 6: What insights are shared about the impact of music on culture?
Big B-Dot and Wayne grabbing breakfast together. Nah, I'm just... It's just like... Listen, man. I love all of those names. Those are some of the greatest artists that we have, but... You gotta have an album out, man. I love Debate, but the way, like...
and shout out to BDOT because he knows what he's doing when he puts those lists out and he does it well BDOT knows what the fuck he's talking about but and he knows what he's doing with that list why do people get so and this is someone who debates very loudly and it seems like I'm angry why do we get so upset at lists Because it's just a thing. That's part of our culture.
It's the comparison because it's a very competitive culture. So when you start to my lists and B. Dot has no credibility with these artists, they kind of look to what he says and what his thoughts are and his opinions. But it's just, you know, you start putting these lists together and, you know, dudes don't like where they add on the list.
Because it's like now I feel like, well, why you got him above me? I'm better than him. I rap better than him. You know why I think it's so much with music?
Chapter 7: What are the implications of Eric Adams' policies on young people in NYC?
Because music's like food. It's to your palate. So, of course, there are numbers that matter. But it's not so straightforward like someone's going to win the Super Bowl this year. We know who is number one. It's so personal to everyone. That's why we get so worked up when we see like, how could you fucking put that person like... It's really because it's so personal. But it goes back to...
To talk about because there is no clear winner on anything unless you say, I will put a list together of who sold the most. And that's the only way to determine something. It's literally back to, you know, when you were a kid and you was playing ball at the park and they was picking the team.
And it's like, if you weren't one of the captains, they pick somebody else before you that you know you better than. You look at him like, what? Like him?
Yeah.
It's an extension of that. Or did you ever conspire with your friend? And be like, nah, I don't even want to be a captain. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just so he'd pick you first.
So y'all be on the same team. Y'all should have been captains.
Yeah, exactly. Nah, I don't want to be a captain. Y'all shouldn't be on the same team. Yeah, yeah.
Like, nah, I don't want to be.
Of course, of course. And then you kind of try to hide in the cut like they don't see you. Come on, it's a little ways to get around all that shit. I love that shit's universal. But I can't have... You can't be a number one rapper of the year without an album. I'm sorry. That's fair. I'll give you that. I love Wayne. I thought Wayne was like six. Yeah, no, he kicked ass last year.
