18:28Tony Yayo:We spoke to a few people, and on one of these episodes, I'm actually going to learn how to drive, and I want all y 'all to be a part of my journey. That's going to be a nightmare, y 'all. That's going to be a nightmare. He's going to be in the car with me, so I want y 'all to— He looks up to Biggie Smalls so much, you don't know how to drive. Remember Biggie? Biggie had a little C's drive. R-I-P the greatest. B-I-T. We need to get a little C's on the show so we get them classic Biggie stories. Shout out to Biggie Son too. Got a chance to beat them on the road too. Definitely, man. Definitely, man.

18:55Tony Yayo:Classic times in hip-hop, man. I mean, Biggie ain't know how to drive. Rest in peace. K-Slay ain't know how to drive. There's a few of us. Oh, man. I love K-Slay, man. K-Slay was the spaz. He spazed out on everybody. When you fuck with K-Slay, he's going to curse you the fuck out. Yo, yo, yo. I need that fucking verse, man. Definitely. Rest in peace, my man, K Slade. Uh-huh. Yeah, he was on Pop Smoke early, Murder early. Facts. He always played the records. He supported all the new artists. We miss K Slade, man. That's a pillar to the fucking culture right there, man. That's one of them, man. Definitely is.

19:28Tony Yayo:Definitely is. You know? So what else we talking about over here? Yeah, this is The Real Report. Why are you asking me? We had a busy weekend at the Super Bowl. We was hanging out with some NFL players. Source Garden. Shout out to the Source, man. Shout out to Source Garden, Larry Fitzgerald. I mean, you know what, Murdy? This is what I wanted to ask you. What you wanted to ask me, man? Let's get into it. You know, I'm a big fan of the streamers. You know, Aiden Ross, Kai Sanat, I Show Speed. You know, Talil, Dez. What's the other guy? Rakia? I forgot his name. Rakai. My fault. Rakai. I'm a big fan of the streamers.

20:06Tony Yayo:I feel like streaming and podcasting is like the new thing right now. Everybody loves it. We love to do it. You can express yourself. But when you look at Kais Not, right, and you look at I Show Speed, those were the two top guys, right? And I felt like when he broke up with his girl, you know, not to be messy or nothing, when he broke up with his girl. Who broke up? Oh, you talking about Kais Not when he broke up with his girl? This is my opinion. When Kais Not broke up with his girl, in my mind, I think the public, he got all this money in the world. He got millions of dollars. Like, I heard people say he made$10 million in one month.

20:41Tony Yayo:Kosta, nah, that's big money. You're making money, right? So I felt like when he broke up, everybody's different. Like, I think the public would have wanted to see him with like non-girls streaming. You know what I'm saying? Non-bad chicks. Because he can have any woman he wants in the world. I think his friends felt like that too. They had Talil. And then it seemed like he slowed down and now he's going to the close. Cool. His clothes will sell out. But it's like, I Show Speed doesn't have no girl. He's single. He's focused on his career. And it seems like To me, he's winning the race now. Like, he's doing backflips off elephants.

21:16Tony Yayo:He's in Africa. He did 28 countries. It's like his foot is on the gas. And it's like, I'm kind of mad Kost not slowed down a little bit. I think the girl broke his heart, man. I think she broke his heart. And he really didn't know how to deal with it at the time. He a young boy. I think that kind of crushed him. First, he thought it was NBA young boy knocking the head off. But then he found out it was one of the little baby homies knocking their head off. So it's like he got hurt all over again. First, he was mad at NBA Youngboy. He ain't even mad at NBA Youngboy no more, allegedly. But now he allegedly mad at that little baby homie for knocking their head off.

21:53Tony Yayo:You don't know if it's true or not, because a lot of dudes, come on. A lot of dudes lied back in the days, lied on their... Yeah, but it's like, I guess somebody brought the information to him where he kind of know it's valid. So he's kind of hurt behind it. Like, he's hurt. Okay. He was hurt. And he ain't know how to bounce back at the time, man. So do you think relationships is good when you're working for the younger dudes, for the YNs? When you're to that point in life, you think a relationship was good for his business or bad for his business at this point? For him right now, it's looking like it maybe kind of...

22:30Tony Yayo:Looking like it was a little bad. Because, man, I Show Speed, all I'm saying is when you see I Show Speed, he did 28 countries in Africa. And it's like you see him every day. It's like he's just... He's just doing everything. I've seen him starting to do stunts now. It's just like he's not stopping. Like how we're not going to stop with the real report. We're going to do it every day. We're doing numbers, too. We're doing numbers. Because we know consistency is the key to everything in life, right? So for me, I'm just like, I don't know. I just feel like I know he's getting into the clothes thing, but I'm a fan of both of them.

22:59Tony Yayo:Yeah. And it feels like our show speed is like trying to come for every award possible. He might have some success, though, with the clothes thing, because I see somebody was just acting like they was him and they made a bunch of money off of fake selling his births. I think they made like a quick$100 ,000 or$150 ,000. You probably could look that up. I think somebody was acting like Kassanat and they made like... I think some of the clothing they were stealing. They were stealing the idea of his clothing line. He got the young generation so they might follow him and he might become successful in this clothing business.

23:32Tony Yayo:He might actually make it happen. He might make something work. Shout to Kassanat, man. He going to do great with his clothing line. I just want to see him, you know, streaming. Because I liked when he had the streaming college thing going on. That was pretty dope. And yeah, he had my wrap-up on his show one time. Definitely, man. Shout out to Kyle Snot, man. Because I shouted him out on the wrap-up, so he had it on there. And I show speed. And all that. So, yeah, that'd be said. Yeah, I'm a fan of all them guys. I'm like Aiden Ross, Jack Doherty. Like, I'm older, Kat, but I'm still in tune and watching what the young boys is doing.

24:02Tony Yayo:And they making a lot of money. So, you know, I'm not a hater. I'm a congratulator. you know? So that's how I look at it. Oh, the prison stream was always crazy, man. That was nuts. The prison stream was crazy. I think they had a... Who was in there? Was Offset in there? Drewski was in there. I think they were in jail or something like that? Yeah, that was crazy. There was a lot of people in there. I was watching that. Okay, got it. It's a lot of interesting stuff with the streaming. I think the streaming college marathon thing they did was crazy. You know, like take over college. And that was pretty dope.

24:39Tony Yayo:Like I was definitely checking that out. You know, I'm a fan of the streamers, man. And what they doing, they making money instead of being in the streets. I mean, you know, them dudes, Talil and Dez and them, they from like the Bronx and they from Brooklyn and they from the old walks of life where it's rough. And now you see them, you know, flourishing, making money, you know, and I'm happy for them instead of, you know, a kid picking up a gun or picking up a pistol, you know, pick up that computer and make that money. We're in different times. Things are different. Like traditional ways of back in the days was what?

25:12Tony Yayo:Stock and real estate, right? Now it's what? Crypto. Shut up the crypto. You know, I'm a Bitcoin holder, Ethereum. Yeah. Well, no, real estate is always going to be there, but that was like a traditional thing, like invest in stock and real estate. Real estate is always going to be something big, but now you could, there's people that invested in Bitcoin. Remember the guy that lost his hard drive that was looking for it? Oh my God. What do you have? What was it? 500 million in Bitcoin in a hard drive? Yeah, he's stressed. Oh yeah, he brought a pizza. Yeah, yeah. He brought two pizzas that would have been worth 150 million right now in Bitcoin.

25:49Tony Yayo:That's crazy, man. You see what I'm saying? Stuff like that was unheard of. Like, somebody can invest in Bitcoin. You know, this guy lost his hard drive. And his hard drive has what? Half a billion dollars on it. Mm-hmm. Right? How much money was on that hard drive? A lot. How much bitcoins he had? It was a lot. It's ridiculous. Yeah, due to what the pizza though, 10 ,000 is a bit. Wow. Or two Papa John's pizza. Wow. Oh my God. And what 10 ,000 bitcoin equals today? Today, it's down. It's down, it's okay, but it's down. It's down, it's all good. Yeah, it'll go back up. Murder love his bitcoin.

26:25Tony Yayo:Yeah, we love bitcoin over here. So you say it's... Today, it's called 69K. So it's roughly... That doesn't mean it's worth 1.15 and 1.8 billion. So he would have had 1.8 billion dollars. That's what he spent on two pieces. Exactly. 1.8 billion on two pieces. I know he feels crazy. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what's wrong with murder today. I now know what's wrong with Tony Yayo. They're trying to figure out why Yayo don't let nobody talk in these interviews. I let you scream and holler for about half an hour. What you think? DJ. Definitely didn't. He was screaming and yelling? It's not just...

27:06Tony Yayo:Yo, he screamed so loud, right? His voice carried so loud that DJ be like, yo, I got to take the headphones off. Yo, yo, we could be in a Marnie Hotel. DJ, I need you to tell me who's going to laugh, DJ. Yo, we could be in the Ritz. Yo, this dude, bro. No etiquette, bro. I got to tell him about the salad fork. What fork is this, homie? Yo, listen, that's the salad fork right here. You know, it's etiquette, you know? Sit up straight, you know? You know what I mean? Fuck out of here. We in a nice hotel. Not too many niggas. Murder, you can't smoke here. You want to smoke in front of the White House?

27:39Tony Yayo:Yo, just chill.

27:43Tony Yayo:Easy Mo B, bro. He just liked to talk. He tell a good story. He walked us into a good check. So I let him talk a little bit. But other than that, I really don't be paying this nigga no mind. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? But he did walk us into a nice check. And I let him talk because he liked to talk. He don't let nobody else fucking talk. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, Nick? Huge news.

28:14Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with the name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it and well we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was this is how you guys remember it going down I have a very different memory of this we were talking about a thing a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say hey Jonas and then I wrote down on my little notepad hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast but thanks for remembering that guys Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They call to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers? Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing?

31:34Simple assault. And it's a play on words, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not amuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why?

32:06Tony Yayo:Yo, can I ask y 'all a question? What do y 'all think about this New York weather? It being... It's actually nice today It actually was Kind of nice today It was kind of nice today But when it's 4 degrees And 30 comes out 30 feels like 60 Oh yeah It was yeah We was in Miami When it was that cold though Wasn't we? We was in Miami We wasn't out here What? Miami was cold too Motherfucker It was cold out there Y 'all believe in that Global warming stuff And stuff like that? I do What about Look this up Okay Government cloud seating Government Because I've seen something Cloud what? They were doing it big In Dubai Let me, you gotta let me talk.

32:43Tony Yayo:I'm not talking about Dubai. Government cloud seeding. There was a guy, it's like a king of somebody in China that he didn't want it to rain on him so he controlled like the government had something to do with the cloud seeding because he didn't want it to rain that day. Just look that up. This government cloud seeding. And I know Dubai has something too where they make it rain. A weather modification technique that injects substances, usually silver, iodide, or similar compounds. into clouds to boost rain or snowfall, suppress hail, or disperse fog. It works mainly on cold season mountain cloud systems where adding ice, oh my God, this is getting some real science-y shit, nucleating particles can increase precipitation efficiency by 5 % to 15 % by not making storms appear from nowhere.

33:34Tony Yayo:Oh, shit. So where did that happen at, though? The U.S. and state-level programs, international. Countries like China, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Thailand, Israel, Morocco, and several others have publicly funded cloud seeding or rainmaking projects for drought, wildfire suppression, or major events like parades, sporting events, etc. So we can control the weather? There is evidence that shows that there is a way of controlling the weather. That's crazy. That is fucking crazy. What about Dubai when they make it rain? Why do they do that there? Didn't they have a big flood out there when they did something like that?

34:12Tony Yayo:Yeah, it was too much. Yeah, they did too much, yeah. But they had Bugattis on floats and shit. You know, Dubai is different, bro. That's what we need to move when we get our bag. I don't know. You can't smoke out there, though. But you can keep all your money. Fuck smoking. I know. They don't tax you now. You say that now. Yeah, you want to be a little stressed. Yeah, exactly. That's what I thought. You say that now. But you can fly back and forth. Yeah, fuck them, man. technically the UAE and Dubai are extremely hot, arid desert areas, right? So that's the reason why they would want a rain make.

34:43What seeding does and does not do in Dubai, aircraft and drones release salt or silver iodide type particles into developing clouds to help them generate a bit more rain than they would naturally, usually in the eastern mountains and the desert areas, not just over Dubai.

34:59Tony Yayo:Wow, that's crazy. So we actually can control the weather. See? Yeah. People in power. Expand your horizons. People in power. What's some of your favorite books, Uncle Murda? What's some of your favorite books? You always asking me these questions, man. What the fuck? What's some of your favorite books? I just asked you what's some of your favorite books?

Now tell me, you see, you can't go far back. I like old movies, real old movies, like Bad Boys.

37:02Tony Yayo:Which Bad Boys I'm talking about? With Sean Penn. You wouldn't know that. You ask me which Bad Boy you're talking about, then you say the number one. No, because there's three. No, but. I know. I know it was one before Martin and Will Smith. OK, so what happened in that movie? I don't remember what happened in that movie. It's so old. What's the main scene in the movie? I don't remember, brother. Oh my god. You tell me the main scene. I see being one of your favorite movies. No, no, no. The main is, I got so many. I mean, I guess this is your favorite movie. So tell us the main scene. No, it's not my only favorite movie.

37:28Tony Yayo:The main scene is he was in jail and niggas was about to pop on him. Let me stop saying niggas because I don't want to sound like you all the time. Fuck out. Inmates was about to pop on him. And, you know, they was the bullies of the jail. They ran the house. And it was old school. They had the soda machine in the house. So he took the cans, went to the soda machine. Ahead of time, he knew it was going down. And he put the cans in the pillowcase. And he got busy. And it was an ill fight scene. And he took over the house. So now he was bossing them around. So, you know, Sean Penn, that was one of his best movies.

38:00Tony Yayo:Okay, shout out to Sean Penn. Yeah, that's a class. You got to watch that. Okay, check that out. I check that out. Yeah, that's just like a class. Okay. Oh, Glowrilla? Glowrilla. Shout out to Glowrilla. I signed her out on the wrap-up. Go ahead. Say what you feel about that. I know. She got some beef right now with her sister. So what you got? How you feel? I think when family's mad at you for not doing shit for them, when they feel like you owe them something or they start feeling entitled, I think it's wrong and I think it's a conversation you need to have off the internet. So I think what Glowrilla actually is going through right now is mad whack, honestly.

38:42Tony Yayo:No, I agree with you on that. She got her new man and all that. She chilling and then she got all this negativity going on. She had a good year too. She was popping. She been wrapping her ass off and her sister over here hating on. I think it's kind of whack, honestly. No, I mean, I agree with you. I think that family business should be off the gram, but sometimes people getting their feelings and they OD. And, you know, everybody want to go viral. You know, that's, I guess that's the new high. For me, when we go viral, I feel like I go viral by mistake. Like, my first time doing Vlad, I did 11 million views.

39:15Tony Yayo:Nobody asked you that, yo. Nobody asked you for your number. Nobody asked you that. I'm trying to explain something and he's hating.

That's the new high. Like when I go viral and I do 11 interviews. Oh my God. And you was laughing at me. We can't even talk about Glorilla. Right? We can't even talk about. Why you want to keep talking about Glorilla? That was the quick topic. We're talking about how people want to go viral. No, we're talking about her sister. Viral is the new high. We're talking about the sis feeling entitled though. Nah, it don't have nothing to do with title.

40:15Tony Yayo:Because if she felt, if it was entitled, she wouldn't have went viral. Everybody want to go viral. that's the new high when I'm telling you when I go viral look when I go viral I'm authentic I'm being me I'm not playing a role I'm not doing anything crazy I'm just being me so when I turn into a meme right going viral it's not a meme it's a meme meme meme meme yo I quit episode done

But what I'm saying, do you think TikTok and Instagram break records first?

43:51Tony Yayo:The way the new thing, the way - Because when you heard Gunna Wreck It Fuck Tonight, you heard a lot of girls doing videos. When you see FDO, you see people rocking to it. It's all over the place. You know, the little Uzi shit they'll do, dance challenges on TikTok and stuff like that. So I feel like TikTok and Instagram break records now. As well as radio, But, you know. No, I think you're right. I think TikTok and Instagram do break records. I think radio make it last. Because you know how nowadays with social media, shit be hot for about a week or two. Then they kind of forget about it. Then they on to the next thing.

44:25Tony Yayo:So if a record do go a little vibe with one of the gram or TikTok, it's cool. But then radio make it like really stick around for a long time. That's why you be needing that radio push. That's how I look at that. Can I ask you guys a question? because we come from the same generation, right? Radio used to be real important, right, for the business. But how do you see it now versus when you guys were coming up, like, you're waiting outside of the radio stations or trying to get your shit played and stuff like that? Is radio really that important still? I mean, radio at that time is all we had. So to me, radio is going to be important to me because of the moments, like, my first time.

45:04Tony Yayo:Agreed. Going to Funkmaster Flex. Like, that was a big, that was like on a rap bucket list. Going through Street Sweeper radios with K Slay. That was on the bucket list. You know, going to Who Kid's show, Shade 45. Like, that was on the bucket list. And as well as going to Connecticut and doing, you know, the big shows in Connecticut, Harford. Shout out to Harford Radio doing their morning show and doing Star and Buck Wild back then. and Hot 97 and WBLS. It was, radio was just everything. Like, you had to actually wake up in the morning and what do they call it, PD, the program director? You had to wake up in the morning, shake hands, kiss babies.

45:51Tony Yayo:You have to meet people. They have breakfasts set up. People are there. They're here to listen to your whole album. It was more politics. If you fucked up with that PD at that radio station, you fucked that radio. So it was way more difficult. Now, you know, the YNs, they got all kinds of outlets. They got TikTok. They got Instagram. They got Facebook. They could just put out music, and it'd be the new trend. Back then, if you wasn't kissing ass, you wasn't really getting on radio. You had to work. You were paying too, though, right? You had to pay them DJs. Of course, you had to pay them. Like promo, promo, promo was no joke.

46:26Tony Yayo:I remember when I did the promo show, I talk about that, where they told me to go see DJ Khaled, and that was a bad idea. but it was radio promo. Yo, let's go to Miami and do JJ Khaled. I didn't know who I did. That was, it was stupid. Shout out to Nelson, you know. You know, but, and Nelson's my guy, but I was dumb. I was like, we shouldn't go there. And, you know, we cool with Joe now, so it's obviously not a problem with Khaled. It is what it is. We're not best of friends, but we have to do radio no matter what. You know? But now let me ask you this as a follow-up to that, because you have to hustle more.

47:03is it too easy now? Like, is there an oversat... I mean, I think there's an oversaturation, right? Because it is too easy to publish. It is too easy to get your shit out there. It was a lot harder. So I think those who really were good and who hustled hard are the ones who made it. Like, hard work mattered. Does hard work even matter right now?

47:20Tony Yayo:I mean, you still got... And can you make it without working? You still got the young boys putting their work... You know what I think? I think it's a good and a bad because I actually watched some young boys, right? From New York. they make good money without radio play. I mean, just off streaming. They make millions of dollars and you might not even know their records on the radio or you might not even really know how they look like that. You understand what I'm saying? And that's without radio. And they might not have no relationships with the DJs and nothing like that. So to them, how do you tell them like, yo, you need radio.

47:53Tony Yayo:You need to go build a relationship with the PD because they don't care about that. All they know is they putting out their music. they got their fan base they talking their gang gang shit they got a following and they making millions of dollars doing this shit I feel like so they don't really be careful I feel like now the new generation gotta work harder because the time span the brain time span like you know like when they used to say the first 10 seconds are the most important of a record now it's more like 2 to 3 seconds and records are shorter there used to be 3 verses now records are 2 minutes so it's like with so much music coming out you gotta keep yourself active That's why I stay on this YouTube.

48:31Tony Yayo:You got to stay working. It's like, what you doing next? You know, when back then, yeah, you had to work hard, but everything kind of depended more on radio. So, you know, you needed an Interscope behind you. You needed a G unit behind you. You needed a violator behind you to get actually on radio. So it's easier to be independent now, obviously. Yeah. Oh, it's definitely easier to be independent nowadays. Yes. You know what I'm saying? It's easier to be independent. but I think you had to I don't know I think back in the days you kind of had to work harder like because I think to get your name out there back in the days you had to really grind like it wasn't easy to get your name out there back in the days because there weren't as many platforms we didn't have no Instagrams we didn't have the TikToks but it was less music but it was less music coming out though it was less music but you gotta think about how many people how many people still do music how much music music is oversaturated right now now it is because there's so many outlets because we got social media but it was harder back then to get your shit popular than it is.

49:28Tony Yayo:It's harder now. I'm going to tell you why. I'm going to break it down to you. Right now, back in the days of Dynasty, you would say, lasts about what? Five years? G-Unit, Rockefeller, Dipset, whatever it is. A Dynasty lasts five years. If it go past that, God bless you. Now, artists are getting burnt out in two years. Year and a half. Couple of months. Motherfucker was super hot a year and a half ago. Next year? Done. I mean, that's because they're music for a lot, but I still think overall... Nah, it's just an oversaturation. I still think overall back in the days it was harder to make it than it is today.

50:02Tony Yayo:I think it's harder now because there's so much music. Like, back then, an exclusive was an exclusive. One DJ could have a fucking Biggie Smalls freestyle or Nas freestyle clue. It was exclusive. Now, it's about how much work you put in because people forget you. Once you stop working, you're done. If you're streaming, you stop, you're done. You're partying, you stop. I don't even think you got to put that much work in several days. I think it's so easy. Nah, you gotta put more. You gotta put some work, but it's so easy to go viral. It's easy, and you can manipulate the system with all these bots and all these numbers and shit they got.

50:36Tony Yayo:So if somebody really, really wants you to win and they got a bag, they can actually just make you damn near win, yeah? So you saying bots changed the game? Hell yeah, bots changed the motherfucking game. Hell yeah. You don't really know what's real no more. Nobody know what the fuck is real no more. I know my views are real. This guy love Tony Yayo and his views. I'm not paying for no bots. I don't know nothing about that. He walked us into a bag. Shout out to my guy, Tony. Yeah, yeah. I'm just glad. You know, we don't deal with the bots over here. But the bots have changed the game. It changed the music game, like, for real.

51:09Tony Yayo:Like, for real. So you don't really know what's real no more. That's why I say back in the days, it was hard because it was what it was. Even though motherfuckers was buying records, too. Back in the days, they was buying, you know, they'd pay for certain artists to go gold or platinum. They'd buy records and all that. but nowadays it's ridiculous. It's too easy to make somebody a star. It's easy to make anybody a star nowadays. You think so? Hell yeah. With social media nowadays, hell yeah. Some people don't even do music in their stars. You don't even got to... You got all this AI shit nowadays.

51:40Tony Yayo:You ain't even got to write the music, bro. It's like, it's so crazy now. It's too easy. You ain't really got to put in no work. Motherfuckers ain't getting it out the money. AI writes lyrics? Yes. I didn't even know that. AI write lyrics for you. They'll make a whole song for you, bro. And you get to own it. Timbaland trying to go hard with that shit right now. He been getting a lot of backlash for him, but Timbaland trying to go hard for that. You can check Timbaland trying to go hard for AI. You got 50 people. You got 50-50. 50 people like, hey, it's cool that you got the other half. Like, man, get the fuck out of here.

52:12Tony Yayo:Well, Timbaland's a legend, so whatever he do, people's going to be like, fuck it. You know what I'm saying? No, but they not feeling him with that shit. They feel like he's a legend and he shouldn't be doing that. They feel like he shouldn't be doing that. Cool, I feel you, but a lot of people don't care. He's a legend, and it's cool. He can fuck around with it because he got enough hits. Yeah, right. I'm just saying it's so easy nowadays. I really think back in the days, you really had to be talented, and you had to really hustle, man. This shit was for real. You know how it was. No, I agree with you.

52:37Tony Yayo:They wasn't just letting anybody in. I agree with you. I'm just telling you that the time span went from, I think that the time span went from 10 seconds to 2 seconds. You might be right about that part. And I feel like a dynasty used to last 5, maybe 7 years. Now your dynasty might last two years. That's it. So, artist's legs getting cut off faster. I agree with you saying, but you gotta agree with what I'm saying. You know, the fall off is definitely happening faster nowadays because there's so much music coming out. So the fall off, like, it's like you can pop off easier, but you can fall off just as fast.

53:10Tony Yayo:And that's what it be nowadays. So, yeah. I agree. Yeah, I get it. Listen, man, right now, this is the real report. Me and my boy told me. I'm tired, man.
