We did beat them in improv. You had an improv against the team? Yes, we would pull up their schools, would be there with signs for us. It's competition. What you would win is a bottle of Goldschlager.

Chapter 2: How does the conversation about the Knicks' season unfold?
Same.
Yeah. Same exact.
There is a comparison there. Well, over the weekend on the music side, I did see the timeline.
Clips.
Oh, not yet. I'm sorry. Ready. I mean, if you want to start with the hate. No, no, I thought that's what we was going into. I was going to go into what had the timeline and discipline. We'd go right into the trumpets if you'd like. No, let's go into the list. Let's go into the list first. I didn't have much service and the Wi-Fi was down where I was at.
So there was only a few times I could see what was pissing everyone off per hour. But I did see Complex. Anytime Complex puts any list out, you know the timeline is going to melt. Everyone's going to stop what they're doing on a Saturday, say fuck their kids, fuck the plans they had. We need to argue about what Complex has to say. Right.
Even if it is a third-party writer, 1099, that doesn't even work. Does anyone even work at Complex anymore? I think it's bots. that just make, they just do an AI-generated, like what would piss the time, ChatGPT, what would piss the timeline off? Just leave Tupac off. That's what ChatGPT spit out. Well, to be fair, Pac is not from LA. Which we'll get there.
Complex best LA rappers of all time list. I don't know if this is gonna start the city-by-city thing that we're gonna get for the rest of the year, but I'm not mad at them starting with LA. We'll just go through the top five real quick. Well, the funny thing... Go ahead. Because this is the top 50 LA rappers, right? Yes. A lot of these rappers are not from LA.
They're from California, but they're not from Los Angeles.

I'm just saying, there's going to be some names on that list, but we're going to have to sit here and do what we're doing right now. Be like, all right, man, enough is enough.
Well, since we know what's coming, put yours together now, because I know it's going to take you a while. Put yours together now so that when they drop theirs, we'll drop ours.
We can do our top five, but before we get there, why is Childish Gambino at 32? He's from Atlanta and has always been from Atlanta. I don't even know if he's ever lived in Los Angeles. He's from Stone Mountain, Georgia. He has a show called Atlanta. He has multiple mixtapes called Stone Mountain. He's number 32. Childish Gambino.
On games or complexes?
Games. And I want to say Baby Keem at 38 over Westside Boogie is... See what I'm saying? Baby Keem at 38 is crazy. Say it. Yeah, it's just... Again, man, I'm not from the West Coast, so I'm not going to go as hard on that list, but Baby Keem... Do you have an album out? He has one project out that was years ago, which was cool. I wasn't mad at it, but it wasn't like...
One album don't get you top 30. No. No, 32? One album don't get you number 32. Not off one. 38. 38. But again, West Side Boogie is at 62. Yeah. Boogie is rapping better than fucking... And again... Why they be playing with my boy Bug? I don't like that either. I don't like that whatsoever. I like that Merz got love on both these lists. Shout out to Merz. He should be a little higher.
If you go through Merz's catalog... Top 10 catalog in the West, in my personal opinion. I'm not mad at that. But let's do our top five. Should we do what we think Complex is going to do? Top five New York? Complex is going to do top five New York. One, Jay-Z. Two, Nas. Three, Nicki Minaj. Four... Josh, write these down for Damaris' prediction.

Chapter 4: What are the top rankings in the Complex's 50 Best LA Rappers list?
This is August of 23. Jay-Z at one, Biggie at two, Nas at three, Rakim at four, LL at five. Then goes 650, seven Nicki Minaj, eight DMX. I remember us being pissed and Iced Spice made the list. Nine Busta Rhymes, 10 Karat Swan. Yeah, I do remember talking about this list. But I can see them redoing one. I'm glad LL was on the top five. What number was Nicki again?
Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about Nicki Minaj's ranking?
Seven. Seven. She's top ten for sure. All right. If they redo it, what's your prediction for the five? Has to be different than the one... Prediction or just my five? No, prediction for Complex. Jaden, Nas, Big. I think they keep it the same.
Chapter 6: What predictions do they make for the next New York rappers list?
LL, Rakim. Okay. And they've also done an LA one before, so I definitely think they're going to do another New York one. What do you think their Atlanta one would be? Um... Who would the Atlanta be? Future, Thug, Jeezy, Gucci.
They're going to have Gucci at one. They don't play about fucking Gucci.
And maybe 3,000. Okay.
Chapter 7: How do they analyze the impact of the Clipse's new project?
I'm going to go Future at one for Complex. Andre at two, T.I. at three, Thug at four, Jeezy at five. But also Jeezy isn't really from Atlanta. I don't know how it works. But Complex doesn't care. Yeah, Complex doesn't care. Neither do we. Damaris, you're Atlanta one, and then we can move on.
My Atlanta one is for what Complex, what I think Complex will say. I think Complex is going to go Future at one, T.I. at two.
lotto at three wait what this is what complex remember what we're talking about man all right lotto at three uh thug at four gucci at five lotto at three is hilarious all right well thank you complex for always stirring up nonsense when we don't even need it um but with that said the diamonds look like pp jade off man Me? Why? Yeah, you. ISO. What am I hating on? Clips. Nah. Wrecking is hard.
You can't hate on the clips. Yeah, whoever hated on the clips. Who did that? I mean, I'm sure all the OVO communities have been doing that. Hating on the clips? I'm sure they have. Man, you can't hate on the clips, man. The Ace Trumpets, the song is hard. I like that shit. Produced by Pharrell. The production is crazy.
That's one of those I want to hear a few rappers take that and do something to that. Yeah, that would be, if this was still the freestyle era, there'd be 20 radio freestyles right now over that shit. They've been asking us to get on it. Who's us? Me and Rory. Who's asking for that? They have. Who's they, Damaris? You got to stop saying they. Who? The new Rory Amalfi.
Man, ain't nobody asking for that shit, man. Yes, to play off of our thing that we did when we impersonated Pusha. Oh, my God. They've been asking for us to jump on. So, Rory, we got to. We do that this week. No, y'all don't have to. Because ballerinas doing pirouettes inside my snow globe is something I would have said.
No, that's not nothing you would have said. That's absolutely nothing. You've never said that. You've never said nothing close to that. When I heard Nas rewind, I was like, oh, I would have done that too. No, I wouldn't have. What is Damaris talking about? You've never said anything close to that. I would have approached the PSA beat the same way JV did. What are y'all talking about?
I'm just saying, that's something I would have said. That bar is crazy. Malice went fucking off on this record. Niggas is my sons and that's on repeat. Definitely something I would have said.
But yeah, Malice went crazy and he didn't curse to him the entire time. He's bringing real hip hop back.
