Even if I'm making jokes about you, if I'm saying S &S with the mustard shirt, he getting bookings. He called me and said, thank you, Joe. My bookings are going up. We the hottest moving out here right now.

2:53Yeah, yeah, what up, y 'all? This is Joe Crack. You know who it is, your boy Jada. You know what this is, the Joe and Jada show. Just like that. Ha-ha! Scott, we back. I had a rough weekend. Yeah, tell me about it. We've been home before you even go into it. We was doing a lot of promoting for Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. We was doing a lot of promoting for Edgar Balanga. and my other guy from over the water. Now, there be no fourth and fifth, Serrano and Taylor. There won't be another. The trilogy's over, my brother. Yeah, it is. It's sad because I can't make sense of it because the first and second, they went toe to toe.

3:41Three minutes of round for 12 rounds. They kept going blow for blow fights in a year. And I felt like it was air punching. Like, I could not believe. and what's crazy is sometimes you got to build your audience because Serena has been such a great champion over the years and that Ireland and the Puerto Rican, that shit, that stadium, Madison Square Garden felt like, I haven't felt like that as a Puerto Rican since Trinidad. It was like, it was on in there. People were fighting each other. It was crazy in there and, you know, she didn't come to fight the way she normally does, man. And I think that hurt her very much because it's so hard to get the people behind you that way.

4:26It was magical. I'm sitting there. Louis Guzman is there. The girl Gina from Disney. The movies. It's Kevin Hart. By the way, Kevin Hart said the podcast is phenom. He didn't know we was funny. I said, I didn't know we was funny either. And he's like, yo, y 'all big, funny. Shout out to Kevin Hart. Balanga. And it hurt me bad because we lost Amanda Serrano. Shout out to Katie Teller. But the next day, I'm thinking redemption. You know, Puerto Rican's going to win something. So I go out there. You know, I'm looking fly. I got that sky blue Louis shit on. See a sucker. You know, diamonds is out.

5:08Got Remy with me, the family. And another thing, I'll go into his room before he fights. And his wife is like, Malanga's wife is like, Who knew? I said, like, what? She was like, that you guys are so funny. Your podcast is... I don't know. Have you been getting that experience? A lot of love. Airports, diners, malls, Louis store. A lot of love. It's crazy, man. The other day, a FedEx truck pulled up on me and was like, yo, I'm watching you now. I don't know. Shout out to the truckers. My man, Rhino BX. They listen. They must listen. Yeah, they lift the truckers. That's that audio check. that's how it go James they look at the episode some people watching some listen yeah crack some people watching some people listening just laughing and shit like yo these guys are crazy cause we all crazy but um Belonga man he took that L man my little brother you know this ain't just you know I love him to death he's family so it touched me in a different way to see him go down shout out to Hamza everybody who threw the event they took care of us, the Turk you know what I mean, Turkey for Saudi Arabia, Salam Aleikum my brothers but man that was hard that was hard and you know they put him through concussion protocol because he was getting here hard so he's in this room for like an hour and they checking him and then they had forced him to the hospital like it was just it was just wild for me what I didn't like was how the crowd turned on him.

6:49He come out, he New York's on. I see a million Puerto Rican flags, people singing Lean Back. We walking him into the ring. And the next thing you know, what was it, the fourth or fifth round? As soon as he get dropped, I seen the same people cheering for him, screaming and laughing and clapping. And, you know, I'm old, so I've been through this before personally, But I know him. I don't know where he's at mentally to see the fans that were acting like they were cheering from him. And now the difference is they got you on social media, twisted every way. You falling down. You know, the thing is to sell a fight, you know, even in versus.

7:30But I mean, Jaru, one of my best friends. But when I was doing the versus, I'm hyping it up, throwing videos just to get the crowd in there. So he's hyping that shit up, dissing Delahoya with the wig, with the panties. He's trying to hype up the fight. But that happened to me one time. When we used to coach at the Rucker, when I used to coach, shout out Kareem Reed, Mousy and everybody. I had won like, I think five chips in a row before Jay-Z came. And the culture, the Rucker's a prestigious place, but the EBC at that time, it was crickets. So I'm coming there. I'm bringing AI. I'm bringing Steph on.

8:10I mean, one game I had the whole Eastern Conference All-Stars out there. Like, I was dumbing out so much. They brought Kobe because I was dumbing. They brought, right? I was there for Kobe. I bring the tournament back, right, to where, you know, everybody want to play. Everybody bringing NBA players is off the chain. And then Jay-Z throws the team in there. home. He walking in with Beyonce and nah it's a big movie. Whoever you name is walking in with him but it's my park. I won five chips and I own this shit. You understand what I'm saying? So I should be the favorite and everybody was up in there uptown they throw the X when I walked into that game the blackout the whole crowd that goes X threw this up

9:05five years of blood, sweat, and tears making this tournament what it was again. Restoring the faith, the nostalgia in there. I walk in there. I don't know if only their fans got in. I like to think those was the same guys who used to throw the X up. We got to get OG Juan in here to talk about that. I'm telling you, they all did this. Somebody here, OG want, let them know we talking some shit right now. But when they did that, that shit was like an invisible spear in my heart. I was like, yo, you know what I'm trying to type of work I put in now? I was taking summers off. What's up is number one in the country.

9:45They trying to pay me$150 ,000 a show,$200 ,000. I'm taking the whole shit off just to coach these guys, wearing this. I'm out there. That hurt. That was close. I'm sure the Belonga shit was on another level. But that was that's how I felt that day when I was like, damn, I thought these people were with me. And he turned on me like that. And I guess that's part of sports. You know, I've seen some of my friends. I get really mad. Rich gets really mad. So when we see our friends, you know, obviously. Yo, Fat Joe, love that young kid, Belonga. You know it, though, right? No doubt. So I feel like all my friends know it.

10:25So if I'm looking at people trash talking to him on the comments and people that are family that's down with us and laughing and liking it and my man's wives and them, I'm almost like this is like what Trump won. I almost ain't talk to half the people I knew that was going for Trump. So it was like, yo, I'm over here where he loses. They clowning him. and people I know who know I love him are in the comments laughing and told y 'all he had to learn this lesson I mean it's tough it was tough for me I'm sure it's tougher for him hope he's safe and healthy and get back to training and get back on his ankle and what you gotta understand right it's easy to comment about people it's easy to have an opinion about somebody but you know what I see as a kid from the projects in Brooklyn and the Lower East Side who found a way to make over$20 million at a young age.

11:24If I was him, I'd go buy me 10 wing stops right now. You understand what I'm saying? And so when I see a kid come from nothing, this is why I big up like a Cardi B. I know how hard it is for a guy to make it out the South Bronx or Remy Ma. You know how hard it is for a woman to become successful coming out of this shit? And so this is why, you know, I always see that in everybody. I don't know if you know, but, you know, you know the rapper out of the UK, Skepta, called out the whole United States. Did you see that? The man... No, no. No, let me talk... I thought he just said something about joining Lucas.

12:09No, he said the whole United States fell off. all the rappers are trash and Jonah Luca the only one who stuck his chin out he's the only one that said yo my man like are you serious? Yo y 'all had it y 'all whack y 'all not bringing it no more this this that and Jonah Luca said that and he talked some shit about him and Jonah Luca said you know what I'm gonna just fall back and then they really talked shit about Jonah Luca like yo he folded you know they call you to the yard, you got to come out. And so, Skepta did a diss record and then Joyner just answered earlier today, which was pretty fire.

12:52But, you know, that's round one. Not the whole United... I don't know about global. Global? Yeah, that's global. You think the United States fell off rap completely? Hell no. No question. You know, Drake went up there and co-signed a man that said the best lyricist is from the UK. That might have threw the extra energy. Sure it did. That's cool. That's what you... This is a competitive blood sport. It always been. Just the new evolution of digital technology just makes it a little easier. I agree that the UK started that drill rap shit. I do agree. I don't know who started what. And they making great music.

13:41But the whole United States, come on, Kess. Like, you know, you can't. I'm not even commenting on the whole United States. What is that?

13:54Yo, let me tell you something, man. I came with this bar. It's sad. They sent me to the wolves and I came back with a fur. That sounds like something out of the Bible. The new Bible. They sent me to the wolves and I came back with a fur. And that's what it's like being from any inner city, being from nothing. You know, I try to tell people, if you can look at your family's DNA, your ancestors, what they went through, how poor they was, how fucked up they are, and you're the first in a generation of hundreds of DNA lines to become successful, take care of your family, send your kids to college, that means you're an exceptional guy, man.

14:48And so that's how I look at all of you and everybody who overcame all the odds. Pretty much a good way to look at it, you know what I mean? If you're not letting the devil occupy your time and you're doing something useful, to bring change to your family finances is always a good thing. Because it's hard, like you said. Bad Bunny. The man started a residency in Puerto Rico. LeBron went out there, Draymond Green. He sold out, I think, 60 concerts in a row. Stadium, the Cholo, see him. And he's generating over$200 million for Puerto Rico and everybody flying. I'm flying in. Me and Nori flying in with our families.

15:38And we're going to go party with Bad Bunny and all that. How ill is that? That he took power into his own hands. He refused to tour. He's not going to tour nowhere. United States, anywhere. You got to go there, book tickets, book hotels, eat at the restaurants, feed the people. that's some pretty ill shit what you think about that you need more shit like that in the culture in hip hop you know what I mean that was a good thing for him to do a very honorable thing to do for PR Puerto Rico Puerto Rico it's crazy because I go to the fight back to the malanga right and you know I was like this. I was a big boy.

16:29I was 480. So we sit in the front row, my wife, my daughter, Remy, and we sitting next to my brother, Gorilla Mems. Bing Bomb, one of the best guys in the world. The band sitting, damn, man, they was calling him Seat and a Half because he was taking up a seat and a half. And so who called him Seat and a Half? Yo, yo, listen. I ain't going to, you know, if this was the mafia, Chris, he'd be them seating the half. Because he'd take up seat and a half, right? So my daughter's sitting there. Yo, my daughter's sitting next to him. She's in the fucking pretzel. So she's squirting his head out there.

17:14You left Azzy with the half a seat? Azzy had the half a seat. So she's like, somehow we finessed the seat next to Remy. She sat there and my wife turns around and tells them, which player's coming to sit here next to you? He said, oh, no, Rich Platt, he too big to sit here. He can't come up in here. And I said, that's like the kettle calling the pot black or something. I said, this motherfucker. So I ain't going to lie. My wife has some jokes. So I was like, yo, bro, you fell in love with a big boy, man. Don't disrespect the guy. The guy was over there. Shout out to Paul, Eminem's manager. Rosenberg.

17:53Rosenberg and fucking Rob Reef Tulo was in the building. Yeah, seat and a half. Yo, Nemz is your thing. He loves the show. Not after he called him seat and a half. No, I don't give a fuck. You got to understand the whole shit is, even if I'm making jokes about you, if I'm saying S &S with the mustard shirt, he getting bookings. He called me and said, thank you, Joe. My bookings are going up. We had a shit moving out here right now. Collab on him with the shirt with the mustard on it. No, that, that, no. He has to laugh with him. When I tell you SNF, well, who's your favorite DJs of all time? No, no, I ain't doing that.

18:34I'm just saying, let me like around like three DJs. I'll tell you, mine's a twist of a finger. Yeah, my shit really quick. Let me hear it. I'll let you go first. It's not even a competition. You know, pride comes before the fall. But let me say something, right? I'm Kid Capri. Stealing. What do you want me to do? S &S? I'm going to say Funkmaster Flex. Just on that radio space. You only doing three, right? You only doing three? Three? Nah, I got to throw Ted Smoove somewhere in there. All right, four. It's an honorable mention. All right, who else? No, no, you go. Only four? Three with an honorable mention?

19:20I would do. It's three with an honorable mention. Why do you always change that? No, no, no. It's changed the rules, man. It's with the honorable mention. All right. So my honorable mention is Ted Smove. All right. That's cool. I like those. That was very beautiful. Cal are too rich to put him in the DJ. Man, you just throwing all types of shit. No, no, I'm just saying he too rich. Man. Cal are too rich to put him in the DJ. He just going to keep going up this shit. No, no, no. All right. D-Nice. Rest in peace, Clark Kent. You know what I mean? I'm throwing my DJ tech in there. Then I'm coming back.

19:52DJ Jazzy Jeff. Oh, my God.

19:59I only said four. I said three in the honorable. Yeah, I did three. I only did what I did. You went to Jazzy Jeff. All right, well, make it that. I ain't got to go out of you. I just named you four for right there. I love all the guys you said. I love all the guys you said. And there's so many DJs that we could have mentioned. You know what I'm saying? Bismarck, he rest in peace. Bismarck used to rock it, right? Q-Tip, Vashti. See, I start naming shit to him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With that hat. What's that hat? Cassidy. Cassidy's different. A man Cassidy with that. He's an eclectic taste, you know?

20:39I mean, he's one of the biggest ever. You know, one of the things the clip said on that album is we create content. We're not content creators. and so uh the mind of somebody um being creative you know thinking that we thought of joe and jay who who thought of this combination it'll work the way it is because it feels like yin and yang or the odd couples you know what i'm saying i say some crazy shit and you thinking like normal people thing. He's saying some crazy shit, right? But the magic of creating something, music, anything, you know, the juice. Who came up with the concept to have the juice bars?

21:26Out of us is SP. Styles is first to even, you know, make that a thing. Shout out to my brothers Nye and Leo. But Pete was the first one to get us on the health kick.

21:45Yo, I was scrolling through the Sprite living track list the other day and immediately started arguing with myself. Arguing with yourself? I'm serious. It was wild because records like California Love, Still Not A Player, back then, those aren't just songs. Nah, those are moments, memories, snapshots of where hip-hop was and where it's going. Exactly, and that's what Sprite gets. They spent over 40 years celebrating artists who really defined the culture. And now they flipping it, letting the fans be part of the conversation. Which is where it gets interesting, because the real debate is why. Like, why did that song matter?

22:25Why did that line hit? Why did it change hip-hop forever? I can't promise you we got the answers. But you're definitely going to have a good time figuring it out. Go check out Full Sprite Living Tracklist. And break down the stories behind your favorite bars at livingtracklist.genius.com. This is the Sprite Living Tracklist. Obey your thirst.
