Chapter 2: How does Reason describe his new project 'Moving Towards Love'?
Yeah, but it's like the reaching don't feel like it's too out of play. You know what I mean? Isn't it a QR code? I think they... Yeah, it sends you to a website. It sends you to a website and it's just like a... That would be fire. I would love a little Uzi. But that don't seem like Uzi aesthetic. That picture you told me about. Yeah, that picture. It's like Saba or some shit.
Yeah, it's not enough color. You said that looks like Saba. That's a woman. I can't see from here. That looks like Saba. That's a woman. No, it's his first album cover, it looks like. It's not enough hips and color in that to be Uzi. Yeah. That's true. I mean, that's just odd that they would... essentially go right to Kendrick when there's a few posters around. But you know why. I get it, though.
Yeah, it's the timing of it.
Have you guys been paying attention to the other nonsense on the timeline today? What is the nonsense? Shout out to What's the Dirt. I really do enjoy his content. I think he's a great researcher. Shout out What's the Dirt. I love his YouTube page. He makes really, really well-researched content. But sometimes I think we get way too much into our Scooby-Doo notebook content
and just start making things up to connect because we want them to connect. That's the world though. No, but this one's getting like a little too far. Okay. So do you remember the rapper Calico that was signed to get low? Yes. Yeah. Calico was nice. He was on a, I think a dip set mixtape at one point. He had a few, like Calico could rap for sure. So,
In the plot twist IG page, there's a photo of Calico in like a made up cover, kind of with the same Iceman font of saying teasers or whatever. So What's the Dirt starts doing research and he sees that he was signed to Memphis Bleak. He's in the Fade to Black movie. Remember the moment that he's sitting there with Guru and Jay and they're like, yo, be the fuck you.
And he's like, I'm still trying to find myself. So Calico is in the studio with Jay-Z. There's also a video of Memphis Bleak holding a Lacey drive that all artists have held in their life before. So What's the Dirt finds an image on Plot Twist where Drake posted a Lacey drive. And then he zooms in on Memphis Bleak also holding it.
And because Calico was also in the Fade to Black movie, we can now all conclude that Calico is Jay-Z's ghostwriter. I want 14 minutes of my life back. And then it was next to the Calgary hockey logo. And if you do the research, maybe somebody else made that logo and someone else took the credit. Wait, what's the dirt it's trying to say? That's today. That was the goal.
And granted, I watched all 14 minutes. It was interesting, but it's just like... We're just trying to connect shit to connect shit. They wait until the last second to reveal their final hit, and you're like, I could have just not. I could have just not watched it. Yeah, I just could have not watched it. I'm with you.

Chapter 3: What are the key differences in Reason's recent music releases?
I literally didn't say anything like that. Like literally in the video, I didn't say anything like that. But that's just where content. So what did they pull to make you say that? It was a clip. So what they do is they take longer clips. That way they know if somebody clicks on the video, they see three minutes, they're like, oh, I'm not watching that. And I'm just going to take whatever they say.
And then they put a different caption. But basically me and Kev was having a conversation about how the West coast sound is not popular nationwide. You get what I'm saying? Like it's not popular nationwide. And, um, I said, I love GNX. It's one of my favorite dot albums. Um, it's probably two or three for me, which is high on his discography.
Um, and Kev asked me why he didn't feel like usually when the album is that successful, the sound travels and then other people like that sound. You get what I'm saying? And that's been a thing in history. And, um, I told him, I said, the artists that were on it, um, didn't necessarily... It can't just be Dot.
Other artists would have had to follow up after that with the same sound and make moments and be successful. And I just said some of the artists that were on it didn't... They're not as consistent in their business and dropping music and stuff like that. So the sound couldn't travel because... they're not following up afterwards and, you know, making moments.
You have your artists like AZ Chyke, Shout Out to Chyke, Wally Asensei. There's artists on there that are really dope and they're going to continue.
I like Chyke. Chyke is fire.
He's probably my favorite feature on there. Chyke is fire. Chyke is fire. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, him and Wally, and this is no, even though they might take it away, there's no diss to any of the other artists. I just think that when you have a moment like that, you got to start getting your ducks in a row. Yeah. And I don't think everybody got their ducks in a row and started to.
So that is what I was saying in the video. And then it came out, Reason says. Oh, it's so hard. as poor curation of GNX is the reason. And that's what I said. Yeah. It's an interesting point of that sound traveling or not. I feel like the Bay Area LA sound that kind of like mashed together in this era is so specific to y'all that if somebody else did it, it would look too much like Byton.
Like if you got a bunch of records that sounded like not like us after, it'd be like...

Chapter 4: What are the implications of online toxicity in hip hop discussions?
That was a callback. Right now? That was just a callback. That was crazy. Lil Wayne? But yeah, I think that's what Cole was saying, is that like on any given day, a nigga could jump, you know, I just think it's more surprising to hear because we've heard plenty of rappers that we know are not the best have that confidence. It's cool, whatever.
It's a sport.
You can say that. But somebody that... could easily say they're the best, and we're not about to question it, saying they're not the best. But I think that's the point behind it, is, like, a lot of these niggas just be saying that. Oh, for sure. Like, you know what I'm saying?
Chapter 5: How do artists like Wale address their place in the music industry?
Like, they just be saying that. But if you really, like, confident in yourself to where you don't have to, like, overdo it, you can be like, oh, he got, like, I've said that plenty of times on songs. I'd be like, oh, yeah, that ain't got a better verse than mine. Like, he got me on that. Joke's aside on the Wayne shit, Wayne said he was the greatest rapper alive and then convinced us afterwards.
Because all, like, people... have selective memory. When he started saying that shit, nobody was out the gate like, of course. Nah, for sure. He was like, yo, what the fuck is he talking about? He just put in the work. He just put in the work. And then we looked up like a year and a half later. He was like, oh, okay. He even made Jay say it.
Chapter 6: What are the challenges of being an artist in the digital age?
Yeah. After the show me what you got shit? Hove came out and said it. He was like, all right. You got it. It's a high clip. It's a high clip. So I just think you have to prove that for it to matter. But Cole saying that, I don't know. It was a little bit of a letdown.
Chapter 7: How does Pitchfork's review impact artists like Chris Brown?
I get where... I think it was a letdown because of everything surrounding it. Because of the whole apology and stuff like that, I think it was a letdown. But I didn't feel that way about it. And I'm not caping for him. I didn't feel... I understood what he was saying. He talking about niggas like Black Thought and Lupe Fiasco.
I think Cole... I think for the last six years, Cole has been the best pin on the planet, period, point blank. But... I also know that if they in a studio session like Lupe can get cold on a random day, like I know Black Thought could get, yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like I know Drake can get cold on a random day. I know Doc can get cold on a random day.
So, you know, I think that's more what he was saying, but we just in a time now where everything is being dissected when it's coming from, you know, that situation. Dissected, clipped. You get what I'm saying? Narrative.
You know what I'm saying?
You didn't say it. You said it. You said it. You know what I'm saying? I didn't feel a way about it, but I do understand what you're saying, like why people felt that way. But cold pen is like nasty. Cold pen is nasty. Don't let someone stand next to cold with a hard drive. All of a sudden, we'll be having dissecting conversations. All of a sudden, Omin wrote...
homero Friday Night Live have you been in a session and seen someone else write for somebody else I've written for niggas in sessions that I was just talking about that off camera that it's an album that came out like two years ago that when it dropped I was like oh I wrote three of those nobody called me I'm like damn niggas could've called me did you like hit their team to be like I don't care I got a feature
Okay, fair enough. Did you think that person needed help? Like, did that shock you when you had to write it? Yes, that shocked me. That shocked me. Yeah, that shocked me. But it's like... Why y'all niggas talking in codes? You said what? Why y'all talking in codes? No, he's... I have no idea who he's talking about. I literally have no idea who he's talking about.
No, he don't know who I'm talking about. He don't know who I'm talking about. I have no idea. Yeah, but he just... He know I'm not gonna say the name, but he's asked me... It shocked me because, like, this is, like, a nigga that can really rap rap and... I don't think he needed it, but it, it happened. You get what I'm saying? Like, and like, you know what I mean?
Like he fucked with the ideas and he took them and then the album came out. But so I was just shocked because I'm just like, damn, like niggas ain't say nothing. You get what I'm saying? But I just use it and Spun the Block got a feature. I mean, it worked out.
