Chapter 1: Why do tributes need an overhaul?
Willfully digress. I yield. I yield.
I love y'all. You let niggas get shit off of you. We sound crazy. Sometimes we sound, especially me, sound crazy, yo. Oh, yeah.
What have you been listening to?
Just people. Just professors. Yo, we saying a lot of wrong shit up there.
It's not just you. It's everybody. I get it. Yeah, but you don't help.
I listen to every episode and I make notes. I don't think you for the black man like I thought you was. I don't pretend to be. I can't. Check my phone. You be shitting on other people?
My agent, my lawyer, my attorneys. So, get with the home team, baby. Oh, really? So you only, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Chapter 2: How does Mariah Carey's presence divide opinions?
Fuck your pockets up, right?
I wouldn't be able to move. Hey, yo, Ian, what y'all doing with that nigga's cars, yo? Did he put my name down?
It brings you into the will. Just leave something. Put your name down where?
In the will. That's what he's working towards.
No. My will must be jumped. If that's what he's been working for. I feel like it's my job to make this be less morbid.
Yeah, we've been bugging. Please do. Although I don't know if you're the best guy for the job, to be honest with you.
So, something does need our attention.
All right, let's get it.
We got this.
