00:00
I was at one of P. Diddy's freak-offs.
00:03
Freak-offs.
00:04
You saw celebrities there that you recognized.
00:07
Mm-hmm.
00:08
It was a rapper that we all know.
00:11
Straight-up porn directed by Diddy.
00:13
I'm just grateful to have made it out.
00:17
All right, man.
00:18
Look, you talk about this ad nauseum all day.
00:22
What do you think about the current, you know, nominees for the Grammys?
00:27
As far as hip-hop goes, does this represent the culture as currently constituted?
00:32
Because it's got a lot of people talking about it.
00:34
I mean, the Grammys could never define the culture or give it credence,
00:38
but I'd love to see that Doji's nominated.
00:41
A lot of people that are talented that are nominated.
00:43
Yeah.
00:44
But that doesn't define if you're a good artist or not.
00:46
That's true. That's true.
00:47
I know you're a cold guy, you know, cold guy on there.
00:50
But there's people saying, look, he deleted...
00:52
Don't tell them all.
00:54
But he deleted the best track on My Delete Later.
00:57
No, that wasn't the best track.
00:59
And I'm not even trying to take a shot at Cole for deleting it.
01:01
But that project was great.
01:02
I didn't see it getting nominated, but I mean, Cole deserves it.
01:06
The same way Nas got a Grammy 30 years later.
01:09
Like, sometimes you just owed something.
01:11
Right, right. Okay.
01:12
Even if people disagree with Cole because it wasn't really an album.
01:14
Yeah.
01:15
Cole deserves it.
01:16
I'm with you on Doji.
01:17
Like, she...
01:18
Yeah.
01:19
That actually, like, kind of smells like right on the money, you know?
01:22
Absolutely.
01:23
She deserves it. Definitely deserves it.
01:24
And then you got Eminem.
01:26
Eminem always sweeps, you know?
01:28
Yeah, but I mean, he said it in the White America song.
01:31
What?
01:32
Y'all should know by now.
01:33
Listen to White America.
01:35
Em told us why he does that every time. It's cool.
01:37
Interesting. Interesting.
01:38
Well, look, look, last thing, you know,
01:40
obviously there's a lot to say about Kendrick getting these, you know,
01:44
Not Like Us all over the board.
01:47
Do you feel like, you know, the Grammys,
01:51
Drake's always kind of had it out with them, you know?
01:55
Is it trolling a little bit, you know?
01:58
I mean, not that the voting body is thinking like that.
02:02
I don't know if it's trolling per se.
02:04
By the metric standard, yes, of course, Not Like Us should be there.
02:07
Yeah.
02:08
Now, the content in which is in that song is another debate.
02:12
Right.
02:13
And that's something I think the Grammys may have to wear.
02:16
But that'll be a conversation I think we have in like a decade.
02:19
Like, damn, I don't know if the content of that song
02:22
is worthy to give actual awards to.
02:25
Right. Yeah.
02:27
That's just me.
