team's about to win. They were

comfortably in control the whole time.

Last night the whole time felt like

>> they was comfortably in control for a

lot of

>> comfortable in control to even in the

end. No, I felt like they was about to

blow it. But shout out to the Knicks.

We'll go to Atlanta and get get [ __ ]

>> Who's they?

>> Yo, get the out of my face.

>> You ain't see You ain't see Drake's

announcement.

>> I saw the bunch of ice cubes.

>> He's in a big cold ass room saying that

the uh the release date

>> is in the ice

>> is inside the ice. Oh, I ain't I saw I

thought the [ __ ] was outside.

>> It is.

>> So, what you talking about?

>> But he announced it. He announced He

told

>> This [ __ ] just be in his car on AM

radio.

>> No, I seen a whole bunch of ice cubes

outside. I ain't see him in no room.

>> I think it's creative. It's cool.

>> We going down, big dog. Uh, so Drake put

a bunch of ice cubes in [ __ ] Toronto.

It's a lot of them. uh word is that the

release date is in there or under there

or some and I like it. I think it's I

think it's creative creative creative

it's creative different. I don't know if

I believe that the release date is

hidden in there, but maybe.

>> No, I think the release date might be on

written on the ground or something. And

when all that melt, you'll be able to

see it from a aerial shot or some

>> exactly why I wanted to fly over that

[ __ ] Put palm olive oil over that ice.

>> Just wash the date away and the [ __ ]

just sitting there looking stupid from

nothing.

>> That's just funny. I would do it, too.

>> If somebody put a block

>> and I had all these ideas before the

Toronto went over there, but I'm like,

yo, somebody's going to come over here.

some rock. [ __ ] it. They want you to do

that. They want you.

>> Yeah. No, I know. I know. Which is part

of the reason why I do like it.

>> Drake dropping Friday.

>> You think so?

>> That ice ain't going to be done by

Friday.

>> He ain't dropping Friday.

>> It's a little cold.

>> You got you got you got you got the hype

for this up, too. I think they don't

have that.

>> Drake will around and have pay some out

there with some torches and make it seem

like it was some fanfare. That getting

melted [ __ ]

>> The fans could do it if you don't have

to pay.

>> I'm just giving you an example.

>> Yeah, them fans was a little off. I hope

it's not this Friday because I don't

want nobody stepping on Kehlani this

Friday right?

>> No, no. I'm not saying you got to worry

about Kehani. I'm saying for me as a

man, why you such a

>> YOU BEEN PLAYING 18 VERSIONS OF FOLDED

UP.

>> I don't know when the down when our

album dropped.

>> Sorry.

>> When I see it in my phone, I'll pick it

up.

>> I don't think that that that I don't

think that album is coming. But I'm

totally wrong cuz I was saying that I

don't think it'll be here this summer. I

was absolutely wrong about that. They

shooting videos. They blowing up in

Toronto. We got Ice over there.

>> He done told all his internet streamer

loser that, yo, get ready. It's coming.

It's time now. Press the button or

whatever the he saying. So, so what's

your what's your what's your guess now

based on all the information? Would you

say two weeks, three weeks?

>> I'm thinking two weeks.

>> Memorial Day weekend.

>> I was You may take six to 10 days for

the ice to melt completely. If if he's

the science bag, come on. Yeah,

>> at the temperature that Toronto is

currently at approximately

>> ice freezes at

>> chill.

Look at you.

>> I'm just saying that what what

temperature do I melt at? Say it again.

>> What temperature ice?

>> I don't know. I don't know. I don't

know. I don't know. I don't know what

temperature ice melts at. You know what

I'm saying? But it may take six to 10

days for the ice to melt. Keep it on.

>> Fine.

>> That's oddly specific, bro. Right.

>> That's what made me ask you that. But

yeah, that's a good guess. Uh, whatever

y'all said. More of that.

>> I think sooner. I think sooner. I think

two weeks.

>> Two weeks.

>> Mhm.

>> Yeah. I don't think he would.

>> With no single?

>> I think not. I don't think he need one.

>> I don't think he needs one either.

>> Drake don't need after what what

happened.

>> Why he need a single? He don't really

need a single.

>> No.

>> And he got a single. He shot a video for

something over there.

>> Yeah. I think we got to get that first

though.

>> Oh [ __ ]

>> But why why he don't

>> Why though? Why do you think you got to

do

>> I just think Grant? Yes, the album is

going to do numbers. I think um it need

he they're planning for this to do

astronomical numbers. Okay.

>> It will.

>> So, you think sing without the single it

can't do that?

>> I'm not saying it can't. I just think it

I think this this further secures it

that it's going to do astronomical

numbers. Like again, you've been

throwing out a bunch of stuff. Ain't

really been sticking.

>> I don't think a surprise drop just with

no prep for it, no single off of it or

nothing. I don't think you go that

route. I I think that's the route you

definitely go because if you put the

single out, you give the people an

opportunity whether biased or unbiased

to on it.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> You know what I'm saying? So if start on

it, then they might have negative

reviews on your project when it drops.

>> I mean, I think whatever he do, [ __ ]

going to [ __ ] on regardless. It's going

to be have it's going to be a group

that's going to

>> give y the whole project.

>> You said you think whatever he do, they

going to [ __ ] on it. There are gonna be

[ __ ] on it. For sure.

>> This hip-hop has been divided since that

beef. It don't matter what he put out.

It's going to be a whole group that's

gonna hate it and [ __ ] on it. It could

be the best album ever. They will not

admit it.

>> Some [ __ ] going to [ __ ] on.

>> They're going to [ __ ] on it just because

it's him.

>> Do you think on the album he's going to

say why he named Ice Man? Do we know why

he named Ice Man?

>> I think he'll get into all of that.

>> Okay.

>> I think he's going to be very deliberate

on this album.

>> I think so, too. Yeah. I'm trying to not

get caught up in guessing release dates

or expectations on the music or I'm just

let him do whatever he doing when it

comes. I'll listen to it and and give

some thoughts. But until then, I'm not

I'm not going crazy.

>> If you just had to gauge like just a

gauge one one to 10.

>> You think the project would be what?

>> Oh, I have no idea. I wouldn't even play

myself like that.

>> I can't do that.

>> Yeah, it's super hard to say.

>> Really?

>> Super hard to say.

>> I I I agree with you. It's hard to say.

But they said but they but but I'm

hearing that 40 is back which gives me a

different level of confidence

>> anticipation and and excitement because

I'm a fan of what they do together.

>> Agreed.

>> I think recently there's been a lot of

fans Drake Drake has just gotten a lot

of fans of whatever he's been doing

outside of 40. But 40 coming back boy

one and only if that's happening.

>> Yeah T then I think he steps up to the

plate and does what he's supposed to do.

I will be disappointed if whatever we

hear sounds like something we heard. Cuz

he's he's in a space. I'm assuming he's

in a space. He done went through

something he ain't never went through

before. Word.

>> You mean lyrically or just sonically?

>> Just in life?

>> I mean professionally.

>> I'm talking about sonically if if music

Yeah. Yeah.

>> Or lyrics.

>> Both. Both.

>> Both.

>> Yeah.

>> I Excuse me. And

>> high expectations.

>> I think it's hard.

>> I hear that a lot. Right Joe. I hear

that when when you guys talk about his

albums and you guys compare his albums

to the classic ones. And I the question

I have for y'all is like what are you

guys expecting for him to hear it? Isn't

he evolving? So when he raps or

something and he adjusts to something,

he raps like that and he adjusts to that

to cater like what do we or you guys

that's Drake fans expect to hear from

him? Cuz you always go back to this

album, yo I miss when he did this on

take care or this was fire. Like

obviously if he go back there it's going

to sound dated, wouldn't he? So what are

we expecting to hear?

>> Yeah, I wouldn't expect him to go back

to that at all.

>> I just hope he goes back to

>> like struggle. What? What? What should

he talk about?

>> No, though. I just want I just want

bangers from Drake. I'll be honest.

Like, I just want

>> I want more than that.

>> That would feel good.

>> Just bangers. Who cares? Just let it

bang.

>> I want more than I want bangers. I think

he's going to have them. I think it's

going to be his best album in a long

time.

>> Um cuz I think the pressure is so high.

I think he's going to I think he feels

like this is a high stakes album.

>> And so I think I mean you can't put out

a stinker right now. I'd rather rather

and I think that's why I've been

waiting. I think he's been like

perfecting it and perfecting it and

perfecting it.

>> But I want some reflection on this album

too. I want like okay

>> I don't want no more whining about the

beef. I don't care if he reflects and

talks about what happened, but I don't

want no more everybody left me and

abandoned me. I want I want him.

>> Oh, you're getting something from

thousands.

>> But that's part of the reflection.

>> But I want more than that cuz I've heard

that already a little bit. So I just

want more and I think he's going to give

us more. I'm really expecting this to be

one of his best albums yet.

>> I think he sat his dumb ass down

>> when I was sitting on a train

with Bloomberg.

>> Now now this one you want from Drake. He

want the best [ __ ] ever. But

>> I'm expecting it. I'm not demanding it.

>> I think I think he sat in his his ass

down somewhere and ain't been outside as

much.

>> Yeah, I agree.

>> Yeah, that's my personal opinion.

>> I think he um I think it's going to be

all right. Probably like seven and a

half at the least.

>> Do y'all think Do y'all think that the

Atlanta features on here?

>> Yes.

>> Yeah.

>> Which ones though?

>> 21 Savage. Yes.

>> I think 21.

>> I think Lil Baby's on there.

>> I think baby. I think the future one is

the one I still don't know about.

>> No, they they confirmed it.

>> What though?

>> Supposedly that Future's on his new

project.

>> They confirmed it. Who

>> you y'all is way more into this than me.

They've been out here for weeks that

Future is indeed on his project.

>> But from where? Who said like who's

confirming that?

>> The internet.

>> I'm saying I don't think the people that

can confirm it are confirming. I think

we just a lot of speculation going on.

So people could say, "Yeah, I was right.

I told y'all a lot of that. Lot of lot

of hoopla. Young dog on it.

I hope so.

>> Yes.

I'm going to say yes.

>> I'll say yes.

>> Yeah.

>> Skipping that.

>> Yeah.

>> You said what?

>> I don't want to hear y

>> really.

>> Not until he get back to himself.

>> I don't think he's himself.

>> What's his sound? He can't get back to

himself.

>> What do we want to hear from him?

>> Can't get back to himself.

>> Why?

>> That la that album he put out last year

wasn't as bad as people made it out to

be.

>> It wasn't as good.

>> Wasn't a great album. I didn't say it

was great,

>> but I don't think

>> but he makes great music.

>> There was some dope on there.

>> I don't and that's the problem.

>> I think in a short dose him with Drake

is going to he'll make a banger.

>> I don't know if he can get back in that

space that he needs to be in to make a

banger.

>> His conditions.

>> Yeah, he has to be sober.

>> Yeah, he's sober.

>> Sober.

>> Oh yeah, that'll [ __ ] you up.

>> Has to be irritating. I tried writing

sober one time. Terrible.

This [ __ ] a fool be I I hope it ain't

too much. I hope he like uh

>> concise.

>> Yeah. And I hope he put a couple of them

on the same song.

>> Okay.

>> Just not have four different singles

with four different Atlanta people. I

hope he venture out a little bit.

>> Do we think the the the uh label

business will be taken care of?

>> No, I don't think take care of it.

>> Not really. But I think he's got to drop

regardless. I think you got to put a

project out. I think

>> and see with that that and that that

furthermore is why I think we need a

single.

>> The business ain't right. Who say they

going to push it that way and and they

nobody on that on that side could afford

>> single before album.

>> Yes.

>> But if the label ain't supporting it,

then the single ain't going to do no.

>> But what happens but what happens a lot

is the people get behind the single. If

he has a really good single, the label's

going to have no choice but to support

it.

>> I mean, but look what happened with the

um the party record. They didn't really

push a single, at least not one that

worked. It was after the came out that

Nokia.

>> Yeah. And then undeniable of course, but

that was also an album that was not a

solo Drake album. So we could afford to

if there is nothing that the people

gravitate to. We can afford this album

not doing certain numbers because this

is not a Drake solo. We always got that

in the tough that this was a joint

project over there. We talking about

Drake's solo Iceman return album after

all of that. We can't take a L on this

in no way. I think he's banking on the

fact that he can drop it cold and it'll

do numbers because I think it will.

>> Yeah, we we'll see.

>> We'll see.

>> Dropping it cold. Let's see what you did

there. That's it.

>> Anyway, one of y'all kids in Toronto are

going to die when them ice blocks start

falling. Start start falling. Y'all is

over there. That sledgehammer is a

skill.

>> Yeah,

>> it's tough. They over there just

breaking ice falling on pedestrian.

It's a mess out there. Uh, but I'll just

wait. I'm waiting for the music. I'm

waiting for the music. I do like the

corny ice melting

>> for sure.

>> I don't even think it's corny. I just

It's different. I think that [ __ ] was

different.

>> Creative. Mad creative.

>> I remember when Kanye was doing uh Yez

and you doing premieres on the side of

the building. It was something different

that we haven't seen. Like, oh, that's

fly. I think if this album is Ice Man

and he been running with all these ice

themes, a giant field of ice in the

middle of the city, that's fire to me.

I'm with it.

>> I'm excited. Can't wait.

>> Yeah, that's it.

>> Can't wait. Need some summertime

bangers, man. It's been a slow slow

year,

>> man.

>> Maybe today they'll send it to you.

>> Four hitters.

>> I'm not that I'm not that in the mix no

more.

>> I'm mad at that. Four hitters.

>> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She got

features are strong, too. So,

>> shout out to Kelly. Can't wait. Can't

wait.

favorable light.

>> I think he's going to be honest. No, I I

think he's going to say some [ __ ] like I

understand why my bowed out. I still

didn't like it though. You know, some

[ __ ] where you communicate like I

thought that was up, but I understand

like some regular D.

>> I would take that as a disc.

>> No, no. I'm just saying hard. Yeah.

Yeah.

>> It's going to be a soft disc. I'm saying

like a nice light honest honest disc.

Not like that.

>> Who Who catching more discre um Cole or

Braun?

Oh, that's interesting.

Brian by far. You think he mentions

Brian? What?

>> He like that at all.

>> Well, Bronnie

said Bryce might get her go upside down

inside all that [ __ ] What? Just a

sheep.

>> I thought he was sub. I didn't think he

was going to name him.

>> He might not.

But when he get finished playing with

bad

>> 25th, right?

>> I agree with Joe.

>> Perfect summer drop.

>> Okay. Okay. We'll find out.

>> We shall see.

>> We shall see.

>> Have fun out there Canadians chopping

ice up.

>> Yeah. Get to the bottom of it.

>> Need to put that in New York. Had that

date already. What the [ __ ] The

[ __ ] are soft came out there with a

propane torch and burn that

>> for sure. Rae would have climbed under

the bottom of that [ __ ] Yo, just get

one of them out, my [ __ ] I can get

through there. I'm good.

>> They would have been through there

already. You crazy.

>> Ice tunnel in win.

>> What else in music needs our attention?

Did y'all see uh Did y'all see uh that

Wayne said about the Grammys and the

festivals and

>> yada yada yada just like Jesus, man.

>> Wayne, we love you, man.

Yeah, please stop uh

>> tweeting crying crying. Yeah,

>> it's a truly humbling experience when

events like Coachella and the Grammys

come around and like clockwork, I'm

uninvited and uninvolved. I appreciate

my position or space I hold in your

heart and mind. So if because you're the

humbling experience and timeless for

that, I thank you. I ain't without you,

which is how he ends all his shows. And

>> yeah,

>> what's wrong with that?

>> Did Wayne listen to any of his like

recent drops and stuff?

>> You didn't put the music out that

justifies you being nominated or at the

Grammys?

>> Well, I think Legacy alone

>> could get him there. I'm more so on the

side of

>> because there's uh somebody actually

replied to him. just traveling around

the internet. But we can name 90 of

these times where Wayne was booked to do

the Grammys, pulled out at the last

second, all the dancers was up.

Everybody who worked on the show for the

last 6 weeks was up. Now they got to

edit the show in the last minute. Don't

nobody want to do that. We had Manny

Fresh and Juvenile come up here and say,

"Yo, everybody thought he was coming. He

gave us his word. He told us he was

coming. We made plans around him coming.

And then the day of

>> You're not there. I I imagine there's

about 30 of those stories.

>> Hell yeah. is different now. Okay, now I

can see

>> they Why would they not playing with him

like that?

>> Cuz if they just want to be respected

for the work that he's put in and he

feels like in hip-hop or in in music

he's not getting the respect anymore. I

could see him saying that. I don't have

a problem with that. You know what I

mean? Like remind people who you are. I

know you going to say remind them by

putting out good music.

>> Sometimes [ __ ] is not. Sometimes we

get dated or hit a ceiling like we

stated

>> that I heard from him to me it sounds

like him.

>> That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I heard

>> like that [ __ ] sound like regular old

him. I just think they don't got no push

behind him at all.

>> Did you listen to Carter 6?

>> The Carter 6 was ass.

>> But this is why I ask you [ __ ] this

these questions especially like Freeze

that listen to music and I know you.

What are y'all expecting to hear? Y'all

leave it so open-ended. I just want to

hear the bangers. What is a banger to

you?

>> Is Wayne on Drake album?

>> No.

>> No.

>> No.

>> Y'all just said that certainly.

>> I wouldn't be surprised.

>> I would love to see

>> I would not be surprised, bro.

>> I would be shocked.

>> I would be shocked to see him or Dicki

on Drake's album. I wouldn't be

surprised.

>> Wayne ain't on that album. I'm doing six

months of deep diving. Why Wayne is not

>> I wouldn't be surprised. I think that

>> that's going to be my lick.

>> That's I'm telling you. I think this

been at home sitting around making

amends.

>> Maybe

>> maybe

Wayne

>> Drake.

>> I think there's I don't know.

>> But who he got to make amends to?

>> You know, you you heard the rumblings

like, "Yo, he crossed Wayne or whatever

the case may be." I think in certain

times when you get to your

self-reflection bag, you start making

those calls like, "Yo, dog, what I you

my brother, I love you." All that. I

wouldn't be surprised if it ain't on the

album.

>> Is Yachti going to be on the album?

>> Yes.

>> Yes.

>> In some in some maybe not as a feature,

but he worked on album.

>> Yeah. Yeah. He'll be on there as a

producer, writer, or something.

>> Something

>> if not a feature album.

>> Yeah. Just produce, dog.

>> Just produce. These are trying to be

chill. Just don't don't do it.

>> We getting accents on the album.

Yeah. Let's not be silly. Let's not

Let's not be silly. Just asking which

one. That's that boy.

>> The accents. Which accent? Oh, [ __ ]

>> That's one of his favorite things to do.

>> Yeah.

>> I'm I'm talking about

>> features from across the pond.

>> Oh.

>> Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We going to get a

little central from Drake.

>> You get a feature from across

head to head. If you get popcorn, you

going to get PWA Drake.

>> Yep.

>> If you get London, you going to get

chatting. You know what I'm saying? It's

going to come with whoever's on,

>> you know, all the accents. Yeah. It's

going to be it's going to be some

international.

>> I think it's going to be some banger.

Like I wouldn't be surprised if heavy

heavy hitter heavy hitter pop stars

might be on there for a single or two.

>> Yo, why it seem like you trying to taper

your excitement?

>> I'm not excited. Y'all are way bigger

Drake fans than me

Love.

>> I tr I trust Quest Love. If If there was

a board for the blacks, he's on my

board.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> I trust him. I believe him. I rock with

him. He means so well for black people,

he would never come on the internet and

say a negative word about a Michael

Jackson movie. Even if it was bad, he

would come out and say that was one of

the greatest, most prolific movies of

our time. You have to go say I do.

>> I think he would do what I do. Either

say something great about it or don't

say

>> it's too it's too big for him to not say

that ain't what you [ __ ] at all.

>> IF IT'S IF IT'S SOMETHING I CARE ABOUT,

movie, but Michael don't mean to me what

he mean to Quest or what he mean to

Omani or what he means to some of you.

>> I got you. So, so what what is the

reviews that that you've been seeing?

>> You ain't even got a black dentist,

[ __ ]

>> On Roger Eert.com, uh, which is still a

major movie review site. The the the

headline is

>> they dead.

>> He's dead. So now other reviewers still

Yeah. Yeah. He's dead, but the the site

isn't dead.

>> WHY ARE WE GOING TO Eber if he's dead?

>> Yeah. I ain't going to f it ain't even

really

>> the same reason THE SAME REASON WE WATCH

UH on New Year's Dick Clark's New Year's

even though he's not alive. We don't

watch Dick Clark's New Year's.

>> Yes, he's dead.

>> YOU CAN WATCH HIS BALLS DROP.

There is

>> there's newer doing the ball drop.

>> Yeah, Ryan Secret.

>> Ryan Secret. HE DOES IT ON DICK CLARK

[ __ ]

Who my man that uh broke this? Uh damn

it, I don't remember right now. It's

other It's other uh show.

>> My point is it's a brand. That's why

people go. The review says Michael

Jackson's movie is bad. It's that

simple. They just said it's a it's a

it's a bad There was no This is bad. Uh

>> yo, fake Eber, watch your mouth. You

can't talk about Michael Jackson movie

like that. Just that fast. I'm going to

question love. Sorry. You can't talk

about our hero. great movie like that.

>> I'm looking at there's a few bad almost

every review I've seen I'm looking at

just a kind of a metalist. Almost every

review is bad.

>> Van Van saw it. Van said I saw it

premiere last night. Tough.

>> Damn.

>> Now he was saying tough as in it's a

good movie. But

>> how we know?

>> He might have been saying

>> it got a 31 on Rotten Tomatoes.

>> Tough to watch because Van is another

one that even if it was he gonna say

some positive.

>> I'm Leave it vague. I'mma leave it vague

and ambiguous. So even

>> take it however you want.

>> Calling a movie tough don't never give

me the vibe that it's good and you had a

good time.

>> Especially if that's all I'm saying.

>> I feel like even Quest I'm freestyling.

I read it. But he was like it's so

interesting cuz they told the story

behind the like he didn't really

necessarily give it like

>> thumbs up

>> the most thumbs up.

>> He didn't say this is a classic.

Actually, he said, "Yo, first at first I

went in there with my critic ears and my

critic eyes and some of the dates they

got wrong, like when he wore this jacket

or when he wore this, and I'm sitting

there like, "Hey, you got these dates

all wrong." But then I realized how

important this was to to

what he said.

>> I'm not going to [ __ ] on it.

>> When a movie of that calibust sucks, do

they go back and make another one or

just leave it? I'm hearing is already uh

rumblings of a part two.

>> Yeah, that's what I'm hearing.

>> Same cast, same people, same director,

producer.

>> I don't know.

>> They need do it could just be a

different joint, not a part two to this

one.

>> Well, because remember the movie is a

period. So So you could absolutely. It

could be either. I don't know the answer

either, but it it could certainly be if

this movie does well, I imagine they're

going to make a second one

>> taking us through like the bad era,

>> which could be interesting.

>> It's definitely going to do well. I

think regardless,

>> of course, it's Michael Jackson.

>> Critically, I don't know if it'll do

well. It's not going to do well

critically.

>> It's just not just looking at the early

reviews. I mean, it would be almost

unheard of to see that much of an about

face from the early reviews to like

later on everybody saying, "Oh, this is

an Oscar film."

>> I mean, and are are these critics

understanding of Michael Jackson in

culture?

>> Cuz a lot of times you get mother, they

really have no idea what they talking

about.

>> That's a good point. Michael Jackson

been around.

>> It happens.

>> Michael Jackson transcended so much. I

would I would

>> be shocked if people didn't understand

the nuances of the Michael Jackson.

>> I'm just saying I'm not putting too much

emphasis on what any of these critics

say. It's people that don't like Mike

for whatever reason, whatever they

believed. So, it's it's some of these

reviews can be weighted before you even

Prince. I can see them up.

>> There's a lot of nuance with Prince. I

can see them absolutely missing nuance

in a movie about Prince. Mike, I feel

like everything has been so public, it

would be hard for people not to

understand what's going on. And and it's

also about

>> Yeah, he's a lot easier to emulate. I

know.

>> Wow.

>> Some of some of the crit critiques I've

heard of the film aren't even about

theness of it. It's like makeup,

lighting, um actual performances

>> and the actual clarity of the story. Cuz

I shouldn't have to know Michael Jackson

to understand the timeline. If you know

what I'm saying, like if it's a if it's

well done. So that stuff is the stuff

that I'm more worried about. I'm with

you. You could easily watch this movie

and not get like you if you don't know

Michael, you could it up. But I'm

hearing it's not even that deep of a up.

I'm hearing some of the the problems are

much more superficial.

>> Okay.

>> But we'll see. I'm

>> see. I'm I'm going to go see the [ __ ]

>> I'll tell you one thing and this is not

educated. Take

say it. Go ahead and say it.

>> Too easy. I'm better than that.

>> Germaine

showing up to the premiere dressed as

Michael is bothering me.

>> Let me see that [ __ ]

>> Look at Jermaine. Take a look. showed up

dressed like Michael with his

28-year-old girlfriend son starring

>> I saw that but then I ain't think he was

trying to dress like Michael.

>> What the Why is Germaine Jackson still

dressing like that?

>> He might have been just dressing like

Germaine. Yeah, that's what I'm

thinking.

>> Oh no, that's not dressing up like

Michael.

>> That's what I'm telling you. I saw it. I

ain't think that was dressing up like

Michael neither.

>> What did he look like? Captain Crunch

>> with a J5.

>> That [ __ ] look crazy. Hell, it do look

like Captain Crunch.

>> Yeah,

>> I feel like Jermaine is trying to come

up to the premiere and steal the show.

Jermaine shouldn't How old is he? 78. He

should not still be

>> greasing back the sides of his hair and

putting the scurl [ __ ] at the Get him

the out of here. I know it's a big day

for the family. I can see why Janet

cursed him out if that story is true.

>> If that story is true, Jermaine is bald.

>> Wait, so that is drawn on that Sharpie

and and glue ice. That [ __ ] go up here,

>> [ __ ] He glued this top [ __ ] on. And

they got 28 wife, Joey. He trying to

stay young.

>> Sure.

>> He says his hair is real, by the way. He

says it's 100% natural. He does nothing

to it. He just uses a little bit of gel

to style it.

>> What the hell he look like on a non

premiere day? Like, we ain't seen this

in eons.

>> Stop. Stop it, man.

>> And I just recently found out that

Jermaine Jackson song that I absolutely

love. Don't Take It Personal was

originally written for Millie Vanilli.

>> Makes sense.

>> I had no idea. Now that I know that it

sounds exactly like a Millie Vanilli

song.

>> Yeah,

>> that would have been great on that

album.

>> Yeah, that your main album talk though.

Um,

Captain Crunch.

>> That's like a wax figure, bro.

>> I mean,

>> you like any flammable thing come by

that [ __ ] He's on fire.

>> Rap city. That's why when you be over 70

and you chicks in their 20s still, you

just in the house just trying to put on.

You just just trying to keep around.

>> You just trying to not look 79.

>> That's it.

>> Check me out.

>> That is a damn shame. Go man.

>> I got some Timberlands.

They call them Timberland.

>> Janet was well within her right, buddy.

"Nope. Keep me out of that." All right.

Uh, well, I always love Mary interviews

cuz she's so honest. And they asked,

they said, you know, you got we got we

got the the clip. The homeboy was

interviewing her and said to her,

>> "Now that some time has passed,

are you ready to laugh at that Burger

King commercial you did?

I thought it was going to go one way.

>> It did not go that way.

>> It was the other way. Yeah.

>> And it went the other way.

>> I would never laugh at that cuz my my

true honest to true fans

>> did not think that was funny.

>> Yeah.

>> The whole way that went down was wrong.

The whole way they shot it was wrong.

>> They It was set up to make exactly what

happened

>> in the press happen like that.

>> You really feel that way?

>> Yep. And so it's still not a laughing

matter to me.

>> Yeah. you know, because I was deeply

deeply affected. Now, I learned a lot

from it.

>> Yeah.

>> But it's not something I'm like, "No,

it's not funny."

>> But laugh you mother if you want. Still,

I don't care.

>> But the bottom line is my fans were

confused. The real true fans, not the

people that dip in and dip out.

>> Yes. But the people was like, "What's

going on?"

>> And I didn't really know what was going

on,

>> right? But I had bad representation,

bad management, that everything and

everybody dropped the ball and I I'm I'm

holding everything.

>> Yeah,

>> that was a learning curve. I would never

laugh.

>> Glad that you you were you're open to

this because I think that that people

think or have a feeling that because it

has been some time, right? cuz you see

people like doing renditions of the song

on online. You see people now having a

totally different in some ways having a

totally different perspective on that as

it's just content. But that's your life.

>> I love when an interview is trying to

get messy and it don't go his way. So he

walk it back and try to be clean.

>> That was your life.

>> I was I was getting clobbered for no

reason.

>> But it did show me something. One minute

people are with you and one minute they

are not. It showed me just how fickle

the game is and it showed me

>> exactly who my friends were.

friends are not around anymore.

way.
