In short

Nightcap Hour 1 covers NFL preseason/week-1 quarterback news, a practice-field fight, and a Cowboys culture story, then pivots to a music interview.

Guests

none named as sports guests; the hosts are Uncle Shannon Sharpe and Ocho (Chris “Ocho” Cinco). A featured music guest is Joey Bada$$, a Brooklyn rapper known for lyric-focused hip-hop.

Key claims/topics

  1. Cleveland Browns named Joe Flacco as starting QB for 2025 week 1; Kevin Stefanski said it’s a “dress rehearsal.” Depth chart details are unclear; Kenny Pickett is hampered by a hamstring, Dylan Gabriel started Saturday, Shadour Sanders missed time with an oblique injury.
  2. Browns carrying four QBs is framed as risk-management to prevent another team from signing a released QB.
  3. Titans camp: Cam Ward shoved DT Jeffrey Simmons after a TD celebration; hosts argue teammates should defend the QB and avoid escalating.
  4. Jimmy Johnson story: he allegedly stopped Cowboys from eating on a plane after a loss as punishment; discussed as “old school” discipline.

Notable examples

Bengals-Commanders game breakdown (offside/motion causing a score), and Cowboys NFC Championship drought context. Joey discusses Lonely at the Top (out Aug 29), “lonely at the top” isolation, and balancing faith with fame.

4:17Shannon Sharpe:Don't miss a chance to own a piece of history in a very, very special moment. Excuse me. Please go follow my media company page on all of its platforms. That's SheShe Media and my clothing company, 84, with 84 being spelled out. That link is also pinned in the chat. Okay, what was we suspected all along? Kevin Stefanski said he was going to name a starter today, and he did. And just like Ocho and I surmise, it's Joe Flacco. The 40-year-old will be making his first week one start since 2022 when he's with the Jets. TBD on the rest of the depth chart. Kenny Pickett has not played since he tweaked that hamstring.

4:58Shannon Sharpe:Dylan Gabriel got the start on Saturday. Shador did not play because of an oblique injury. He started the first regular preseason game, and Tyler Snoop Hundley is also on the list. Adam Schefter said this morning, I expect the Cleveland Browns to carry four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Wow. That doesn't normally happen. It's just I think they're afraid that if they let one of these guys go, somebody's going to snatch them up. You'd probably like to probably cut them and then have them come back on the practice squad, but they don't feel they can do that. They feel that if they were to release Gabriel, excuse me, release Dylan Gabriel or Shadour Sanders, somebody would sign him to their active roster, and you don't want to run that risk.

5:43Shannon Sharpe:Guy that's been in your program for the better part of six months, April, since April since the draft. So you don't want to run that risk. Excuse me, guys. But I don't think any of us are surprised that Joe Flacco got named a starter. He didn't play, but Stefanski did. The head coach, Kevin Stefanski, did say they're going to treat this as a dress rehearsal of what they might do in week one. So Joe Flacco is going to get the start for the final preseason game, and we'll see how that works out. But I don't think we're surprised. I don't think any of you are surprised that Joe Flacco was named a starter.

6:21Shannon Sharpe:You look at Kenny Pickett, he has not been able to do anything, any team drills since he tweaked that hamstring early, early in training camp. Obviously, Dylan Gabriel was Nick the first, you know, for about 10, 11 days. Then he came back. Shador played really well the first game. Then he got an oblique injury. He was out. And then Dylan Gabriel took it over. And then he played fairly well. I mean, he had a pick. But I don't think either guy did anything since, I mean, look, you are where you are. I mean, some people say, well, Dylan Gabriel has played better. I haven't heard anybody say that, but some people like Dylan Gabriel and think what he brings to the table.

7:02Shannon Sharpe:I was listening to somebody today say Dylan Gabriel, those have a stronger arm, those with better anticipation. I don't know if I necessarily agree with that or believe that it's going to be a very tough decision. But in order for them to carry four quarterbacks, that means they're not really sure. And they don't want to make the mistake. Nobody wants to make the mistake and get up, get up one of these quarterbacks. have him go somewhere else and play really, really well when we had him in our fold. So that's what I deduce from that. Cleveland put themselves in a bind by signing Joe Flacco to a one-year.

7:37Shannon Sharpe:I think they traded for Kenny Pickett and then selected two quarterbacks, one in the third, one in the fifth, and you find yourself in a situation because none of these quarterbacks really have separated themselves from the rest of the guys. Pickett didn't really get a chance to separate himself because he's been injured for the better part of training camp. And so, I don't know, does he start? I don't think he'd start on PUP. How is he progressing, Ash? Do we know anything about how he's progressing?

8:06Shannon Sharpe:Be interesting to see. I don't think you put him on PUP because if you put him on PUP, he's going to put him down for six weeks. I don't think it's going to take that much length of time. He'd be out almost three months with a hamstring injury.

8:20Shannon Sharpe:Wow. So, we're coming up on a month. funny that you say that because Justin Jefferson just returned to practice and he was out for 25 days and we're going to talk about that in a little bit but these hamstrings are very very tricky you want to err on the side of caution the last thing you want to do is miss that amount of time come back and tweak it again because you're probably going to double the amount of time that you're going to miss moving forward so Cleveland Browns named Joe Flacco as their starting quarterback they did not give a depth chart after Joe Flacco normally it was Kenny Pickett too Dylan Gabriel three and Shadour Sanders four but I guess that's in the next couple of days we'll find out we'll see how healthy Shadour is is that oblique healed well enough for him to get some action in game in the final preseason game we'll see but Joe Flacco named starter for the Cleveland Browns to start the 2025 season Titans quarterback Cam Ward got into a scuffle with DT Jeffrey Simmons and camp cam warden defensive lineman jeffrey simmons got into a scuffle on monday war threw a touchdown pass to calvin ridley toward the end of practice and went over to celebrate the rookie quarterback stopped gave simmons a shove before doing the trademark zombie land celebration in front of him simmons reacted with a two-hand shove towards face mask the offensive lineman came running to help towards defense.

12:11Shannon Sharpe:Warning, this product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes. I think we kind of had a conversation. We kind of had a conversation about this a couple of days ago. I wish Ocho's connection would get fixed because this is what I wanted to ask him.

12:30Shannon Sharpe:I think both guys need to be smarter in a situation like this. That's your starting quarterback. You're only going to go as far as he take your defense. So you don't want to do anything to hurt that guy. He's the number one overall draft pick, and all your hopes and aspirations are pinned on his shoulder. Now, Cam, that's your teammate. You know what I mean? Come on. And it's been a long day at practice. They said this happened towards the end of practice. And any time like that, you know, guys are frustrated. I didn't want you to score. But you stop and celebrate my face, you know. I'm not feeling too well.

13:09Shannon Sharpe:That might be the reaction that you get. But normally teammates, I couldn't imagine, to be honest with you, have John celebrated? Yeah, absolutely. But I couldn't imagine an offensive lineman. I mean, excuse me, a defensive lineman doing something like that to seven. I don't remember being on a team where a defensive player would do that to the quarterback, understanding how important the quarterback is to the team's success, especially the starting quarterback, maybe the second or third team, something like that. But the starting quarterback. Now, I have I can honestly say in my 14 years, I've never been in a situation where I've seen something quite like what's being reported coming out of Tennessee where the quarterback throws a touchdown pass late in the ball game.

13:51Shannon Sharpe:He shoves Jeffrey Simmons. I don't know why he shoved Jeffrey Simmons, but if you shove one guy, you should probably expect to shove back. I'm just surprised that he shoved Simmons to begin with. Maybe I shouldn't be as surprised that Simmons shoved him back because at that point in time, I'm not looking at you as a quarterback. I'm looking at somebody that shoved me, and I'm going to shove you back. Shut up. Glad he'd know nobody got injured. The offensive linemen did what they were supposed to do. Run to Cam Ward's defense. That's what's supposed to happen. Somebody attacks your quarterback.

14:25Shannon Sharpe:You come hell or high water. You defend that guy. Right, wrong, or indifferent. You defend your quarterback. We'll address it, and we'll figure it out later. Hey, man, don't do that. Hey, you too valuable. Don't get into no shoving matches. Don't say anything to those guys. Let them do all that talking. We don't have to worry about that. But I can honestly say I've never seen a situation in my years of being around football when I was at Denver, when I was at Baltimore, and when I went back to Denver. I don't remember that happening in high school. I don't remember it happening in college. Not to say that it haven't happened.

14:56Shannon Sharpe:I haven't been around and haven't seen every situation that arises on a practice field or in a locker room. But I like to speak to the things that I've seen, and I can speak clearly and intelligent on it. but this must have been something that was brewing for a significant time and emotions ran high and I guess Cam Ward shoves Jeffrey Simmons and Jeffrey Simmons like I don't know who you think you are. I understand you're the starting quarterback. You're the first overall pick, but now I'm going to throw that out the window and shove you in the face. So hopefully nobody got injured. Glad no punches.

15:33Shannon Sharpe:Hopefully no punches were thrown. Nobody damaged a hand or wrist or a fist or a finger, anything like that, and they're going to be good to go for the final preseason game, Friday, Saturday, or whenever these guys play, and then hopefully everybody goes into the season healthy and with no lingering injuries. But, whew, I guess we live in a different time now. Jimmy Johnson recalls not letting the Cowboys eat on a plane after a loss in his Netflix show. The former Dallas Cowboy head coach revealed during a clip in Netflix, America's team, the gambler and his Cowboys, that he once prevented the team from eating on a eating a meal on a flight home following a loss.

16:17Shannon Sharpe:After that loss, we got on the plane. I'm just fuming because the way we play. So the flight attendants start to serve and I say, no, no meal. They don't deserve to eat. I want to be naughty. I want to be nauseated to be sick to their stomach when they lose, because that's how I felt. is this what's been missing from the Cowboys today, a leader that wants to win so badly that he'll take your food away. That's not uncommon. Dan Reeves, that happened to us. We lost the ball game, and he took lunch away. Like, I ain't paying for y 'all to eat. Y 'all hungry? Y 'all go get your own damn food. So it's never happened on a plane.

16:59Shannon Sharpe:And man, you got to realize, like, when you go to get on that plane, because you haven't probably eaten since pregame. And according to when the game was, so, you know, you play the early game, you play at 1 o 'clock East Coast time, and you get on the plane to fly back home, you haven't eaten probably since 10 o 'clock, 10.30 at the absolute latest for a 1 o 'clock game. and then by the time you get on, by the time you get, because they give you an hour. After the game, you got an hour to basically get from the field to the locker room, get showered, do your interviews, get to the bus, bus get to the airport, go on the tarmac, you get off.

17:39Shannon Sharpe:Normally that takes about an hour, about 60, 70 minutes. So think about how long that's been. Now you're on a plane. Now I don't know where they were coming back from to get to Dallas. Let's just say it's New York and you haven't eaten till 10, since 10. That's a long time. And now you understand why the Cowboys were how they were. Jimmy trimmed the fat. There was no excess fat with the Dallas Cowboys when Jimmy played. And you see? Now, if a coach probably tried to do that now, Jerry said, nah, let him eat. And then guess what? Team's going to eat. But that's old school culture. I don't even know if that'll fly now.

18:20Shannon Sharpe:Chad, y 'all think that would fly now? I don't think that was flat now. Man, I think the players would lose their damn minds if a coach said, nah, we're not going to eat. Nobody's going to eat on the plane home. That's old school coaching. That's the way they did it in the probably 70s, 80s, and 90s. Like I said, not on the plane, but lunch, it happened. And you made sure if you lost the game, you gave better effort. Because I think the thing is what Jimmy said, I wasn't happy with the, yeah, we lost it. And I'm ticked off that we lost the game. But I didn't like the effort that we gave in losing the game.

18:54Shannon Sharpe:Because, you know, you're not going to win every game. But sometimes the effort, you saw yesterday the Bills lost, what, 38-0. And you see McDermott had a problem. He was upset with them. So it's tough. It's tough. There's an expectation that when you play, especially when you got the Cowboys, you're talking about Emmitt, you're talking about Troy, you're talking about Michael Irvin and Charles Haley. I mean, they were all those Hall of Famers. There's an expectation that when you take that field, you can win this game. And even if you don't win, how you play is as important. And Jimmy, clearly, clearly, but this is Jimmy Johnson.

19:34Shannon Sharpe:Like I said, there is no excess fat when Jimmy Johnson is your head coach, be it Oklahoma State, be it Miami, be it Dallas, Miami. hey you gotta get it you gotta get it jimmy johnson gonna get it at you whatever you got in jimmy's gonna get it at you so uh i'm not surprised that he said this i'm not surprised because you know talking to some of the guys they they they like hey jimmy jimmy cracked the whip jimmy was not a guy jimmy did not bs um jimmy was hardcore you know what to expect that a lot of guys look as long as I know what to expect I'm cool you go to uh it's probably a little different if you never had a coach like that I mean that's all Emmett knew that's a lot what a lot of these guys knew um so it probably wasn't a big thing it would probably be different if you've been somewhere else and it's not not even close to that for six seven years and then you come to that like I said it's always easier to be tough and lighten up as opposed to lighten and then try to toughen up because guys look at you a certain way.

20:42Shannon Sharpe:Having Dan Reeves as my coach, an old school guy that learned, cut his teeth under Tom Landry, practices were hard. Training camp was hard. So I know anyone that I got after Coach Reeves was going to be a piece of cake. Ain't no way training camp and practices could be any more difficult than what I had already gone through for three years. But I'm not surprised by that. I'm going to make sure I watch this because I want to see. You know, you've heard a little bit of the stories, but to hear Emmitt and hear, you know, obviously talking to Emmitt and we came out together in 1990 and Playmaker and I are good friends, but to hear Jimmy from his own mouth, to hear Troy, to hear some of the other guys talk about it, Coach Prime is in it, to hear some of these guys talk about it, that's going to be, I think it's going to be very, very good.

21:26Shannon Sharpe:And it explains to you why the Cowboys had the success that they had in the early 90s, especially under Jimmy. They had a down year in 94. They didn't have a down year. They went to the NFC Championship game. and then they bounced back in 95 when they get time to come over from San Francisco. They win the Super Bowl in 95, and it's kind of been – hadn't been back to a championship game since they went to the Super Bowl and won it 95 season, 96. So we're approaching 30 years in which the Cowboys have not went, gone, whatever terminology you want to use, to an NFC championship game. That's a long time when you talk about America's team and when you talk about some of the better players that they've assembled on that team, you look at the all pros, you look at the Pro Bowl players that they consistently have year in and year out, there's no excuse for why the Cowboys haven't gone to an NFC Championship game, at least multiple, considering some of the teams that have gone to an NFC Championship game.

22:25Shannon Sharpe:So I think a lot of you guys are Cowboy fans or Cowboys haters, want to see why the Cowboys were so successful in the early 90s. And I think watching this will give you a glimpse into why, how he practiced, how they met. Hopefully they tell the story about the guy that Jimmy – I'm sure they are going to tell the story about Jimmy cut a guy that fell asleep in a meeting. And, well, he cut one guy because he fumbled a football last game of the season, so they cut him. And then they cut another guy they cut because he fell asleep in a meeting. And a reporter asked him if that was Troy that had fallen asleep in a meeting, would he cut him?

23:04Shannon Sharpe:He said, no, I woke him up. Just goes to show you treat everybody fair, but you don't treat everybody the same. That's Jimmy. Coach Prime says his punishment for any player that hits the quarterback. For the players who violate the rule, consequences range from up-down, stadium runs, et cetera. This is definitely an old-school way of discipline players, but do you think this style of punishment can work in the NIL era, where guys may transfer from one up-down?

23:38whoo-wee

23:41Shannon Sharpe:yeah I don't know if this style of punishment worked because I think some guys are already looking you can't really coach a kid now you coach a kid hard he'll jump in the transfer portal somebody offering him$50 more than what you're paying him and you ticked him off he didn't get as many reps as he thought he didn't get as many targets as he thought he didn't play as many plays as he thought they jump in the portal now. This is real business. This is like a real job. Like, I'm on a job and I don't like my boss. I quit and go find me another job. Leave you high and dry. And that's just the era that we're living in now.

24:19Shannon Sharpe:But Coach Prime is, he's trying to get his point across. The last thing that you want to do is have your players hurt one another. I'm glad to see our technical difficulty guy.

24:39Shannon Sharpe:You got us, Ochoa? Yeah, boy. I'm sick than the motherfucker. Can you hear me? Yeah, I got you. Yeah. Yeah. How about them boys tonight? Boy, y 'all defense steals some trash.

And they did it twice. he did it twice and the guy bounced right outside and he gone we had a conversation last night I said Ocho I want to see their backs and it'll give us a better understanding why Brian Robinson Jr. is on the trade block well we see why he's on the trade block we saw those two backs from Washington now it makes sense I don't know how much you can speak for yourself but it makes a ton of sense to me it does make sense but obviously Brian Robinson we've seen what he can do and I just saw some reports obviously doing my little homework talking about he runs a little bit timid, not hitting the hole and just stuff like that.

26:07I'm not sure if the injury history is probably a cause of that, but obviously they like the young Bulls, especially Bill. He doesn't want to be called Jacob. His name is Bill. Bill. Bill.

26:20Shannon Sharpe:Hold on. You talking about Rodriguez? No, no, the other one. Oh, Kosky. Because what's his full name? The one that Jay Daniels got the ball back for? Yeah. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. If he say he want to be called Bill, I'm going to call him Bill. Okay. I mean, 30 rush attempts, Ocho, for 185 yards and two touchdowns. I mean, you look at it, the two top guys, 17 rushes between the two of them for 108 yards. And y 'all got to look. Lovu, everybody in the stadium, everybody at home knew the Bengals were not going to snap that ball at the 38 yard line on fourth and three except you. Yeah. And you jumped offside.

27:11Shannon Sharpe:Everybody nobody when they start doing all that motion when they bring the guy outside they bring him to the backfield then they sprint him out there. They're not running no play bro. They're trying to get you to jump off sides and you did it. Yeah. I get, Ocho, we get the Eagles last year. Remember on the goal line, and he jumped off sides like four or five times in a row? Yeah. And the officials say, you know, if you keep doing this, we're just going to award them to score. Okay, fine. They're going to touch push. They're going to score anyway. But in a situation like this, these kind of plays will get you beat.

27:47Yeah.

27:48Shannon Sharpe:Because guess what happened, Ocho? Didn't they go right down the field and score a touchdown? Yes, we did. Yes, we did. I want to talk about how good our offense looks, except that second series. That second series with Joe Burrow and the number twos. Yeah, yeah, I don't know why he did that. Joe know better. He pulled back all the running and scramming. Yeah, throw that thing away, Joe, because you don't want to take any unnecessary hits. Unnecessary punishment, yeah. And then he got bailed out again because O 'Brown got beat. And Wise just happened to horse call him. They're going to have to do a better job of protecting Joe.

28:19Shannon Sharpe:But, Ocho, your offense has to look good because that's where all your money is. So wherever your money is, that's the side of the football you're really going to have to win on. Yeah, most definitely. Most definitely. Look at the Broncos, when we played in the 90s, TD, myself, John, Zim, Rod. Yeah. So that's where the money was. So that's where we had to be. That's where we had to be. Yeah. So, yeah, I thought your offense, you know, Joe was, I mean, Joe was what? 9 of 14, 62 yards. Jake Browning came in. But Jake Browning, you know, he plays well. When asked and given the opportunity, Ocho, he plays well.

28:57Shannon Sharpe:16-25, 159, two touchdowns. Desmond Ritter came in there, threw one pass. He was one-on-one for seven yards. But – and they were going down the field again, and then Josh Johnson threw a horrible interception. Yeah. Oh, Josh. Where's my dog there, man? Good to see Josh still out there, man, working and working and working. I like it. Yeah, yeah, hey. I mean, hey, he don't collect – he collect his own jerseys. And he ain't got no other player. He ain't got no other player's jerseys. You know, you trade jerseys, don't you? Hey, I just collect my own. He got my 14. Mm-hmm. I think he's been on 16 of the 32 teams.

29:3916 of the 32.

29:40Shannon Sharpe:Damn. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I like it. So, hey, so if he ever want to coach, he know somebody. Somebody somewhere. Hey, absolutely. Absolutely. And listen, when you play that long at that position, they will definitely give you a job.

30:03Shannon Sharpe:Is he signing it? Who's that? Who's that? Our special guest. You ain't telling me. I thought they had sent it to you. Here is his latest gentleman. He's a generational talent and a revered voice in the modern hip-hop. He announced tour dates, dark or a tour, a 25-city headlining run kicks off October 16th in Boston.

33:11Man, I'm doing good. How you doing? Man, I gotta say, like, y 'all really shoot the show this late? Yeah. Every time? We really shoot? Yeah, yeah, man. Let me ask y 'all, y 'all in L.A., huh? Nah, I'm in Miami. I'm in Miami. Oh, you're in Miami. Oh, okay, you see Miami, you know, that's that nightlife right there. No, no, no, no, no. Hey, Joe. Joe, I don't do the nightlife. I don't do the nightlife. So I take a nap during the day so I'm able to get up, you know, to be able to do the show. Okay. You see, you see, you understand the program. I don't understand the program. So I'm like, I'm over here fighting sleep.

33:50I'm like, yo.

33:52Shannon Sharpe:Well, you in that green room. I mean, like you developing pictures or something. Like you work for Kodak. My studio room right here is like, you know, part of my ceilings, right? Like, I had a little leak. Nah, you all good. But check it out. I never fixed it because I was like, you know what? I like that. It kind of reminds me of, like, the old days. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Keep you hungry. I keep it raw. I keep it raw. Tell us a little bit about the album. So, yeah, Lonely at the Top is out August 29th. You know, this project is, it was made in a short amount of time. I want to say this is probably like the fastest I've made a body of work.

34:34You know, I mean, a lot of things transpired for me this year musically. And it was really just kind of pushing my pen, you know what I mean? In a way where it's just like, you know, I'm just kind of eager to get the music out. You know, Lonely at the Top means to me is like, you know, kind of looking around and you being at the top of your success. and you're realizing like, you know, how, how much isolation you find it on the other side, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm sure you guys can relate, but like being on that life journey and, um, you know, you're dealing with things like survivor's guilt and, you know, you want everybody to come and things like that.

35:12But what you find on that other side, you know, for, for, for you to make it is like, you know, sometimes it's an isolating feeling, you know what I'm saying? Because you gotta block so many things out to maintain that balance, you know what I mean? So that's kind of like what this collection of music feels like for me is kind of like a reflection of where I am today, right now. Yeah.

35:40Shannon Sharpe:You get that a lot, you know, coming from the background, and I'm sure we kind of all come from very similar backgrounds, but no matter how big a bus is no matter how big a plane is there are x amount of seats and everybody ain't meant to fly on that flight somebody meant to catch the next one everybody meant to get on that bus they meant to catch the next one and so what we have to do what's hard sometimes is that is figuring out who's supposed to be a passenger on our bus who's supposed to be a passenger on our plane you know that's that that's i like you do feel bad because you like you said you've been around a lot of these people your damn entire life.

36:19Absolutely. Absolutely. And, you know, I got the analogy that I use is like the Aladdin's purple carpet. You know what I'm saying? Like if you got 100 motherfuckers on there with you, like you ain't going nowhere. Yeah, it ain't going to take off. It's your belly levitating off the ground. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm trying to go to the mountaintop. So it's like, you know, I got to keep it light. You know what I mean? So I could ascend and everything. Yeah. Hey, Joe, but how do you balance that? How do you balance that? obviously coming from where you come from, most of us have the same background and those that we work with.

36:49Once we start to send in our respective craft and whatever it is that we do, a lot of people trying to go along with us, they complain. Oh, you hating. You ain't real no more. You're not taking me on this journey that you yourself has been working to do. So how have you been able to navigate with those, when you have an album coming out, it's lonely at the top, but those that feel that they deserve to go along with you? Well, you know, if I'm being completely honest and completely transparent, I think that I am still on the journey of learning how to balance that. You know what I'm saying? I think I think it is a matter of continuing to find that balance.

37:27You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, different things do it. I think the strongest thing is putting God first. You know, like that is my grounding factor right there. It's like, you know, remembering God as often as I can on the daily and, you know, remembering that this journey is a predestined path, if you will. You know what I mean? And it's just like I am doing what I can at each given point in this journey, applying the wisdom that I can to to make the best moves. You know, I'm saying, you know, sometimes you might look like, you know, could I have done that better? but you know what that's part of the growth as well you know i'm saying as that's part of like reflection and all that it's part of it for sure yeah you're one of those old like now i don't know

38:18Shannon Sharpe:how many true lyricists that we have when i would you know and i hate i hate saying this not enough it's not enough that's my point because it used to be you know you had the krs ones you had to Kane, you had Rock Him, you had LL, you had Slick Rick, you had the Scarfaces, you had guys that was literally on point. And now, you know, it's different, but you want to take it back because a lot of the OG lyricists originated Brooklyn, the Boogie Down Bronx, KRF One, all those guys. Absolutely. Do you feel that's what's missing from hip-hop?

39:04I would say that, first of all, I would say that I don't like to look at it as I'm taking it back. I like to look at it as like I'm taking it forward. Okay, you advancing it. I'm living in this time, you know what I'm saying? And there's a Nina Simone quote that has always resonated with me. She said, like, you know, music is going to reflect the times. I'm paraphrasing it, but, you know, something along the lines of that. And, you know, always kind of stay cognizant of that because I think that we are in an interesting time, which is why the musical landscape looks the way that it does. Because as a society, we are prioritizing certain things and that's coming out in our subcultures, if you will, like especially the music.

39:52But if anything, I look at it as a purposeful position to be where I'm at and to represent what I represent. Because, like, you know, in a world full of just, like, godless behavior, just vanity and stuff like that, you know, I try to keep my balance by spreading a message when I can and being purposeful when I can and upholding a certain level of skill, effort into my craft. hey when you talk about that skill and effort and being able to maintain that balance when it comes to you know to being a lyricist the sound of music in general from the 80s to the 90s to the 2000s obviously to date 20 2010s to now the sound changes every 10 years right is it difficult for you to adjust to what the sound is at the time or do you just stick to your guns and say listen i don't care how what it sounds like right now i'm going to stick to what i've always done and what has worked for me?

40:50What do you mean? In all transparency, I've definitely found myself at certain points in my journey, you know, trying to adapt, if you will. But like, you know, where I'm at now, I think I'm at a space where it's like, I no longer necessarily care to adapt. I think what's important to me is being as authentic and true to myself as possible. Because I feel like in 2025, it's like, that's the best thing that you can do. Like, you know, with the internet. I think it was a little bit different back in the day because it was all about where you was from and things like that. But I think the internet kind of allows for people to be a little bit more expressive and not be so bound by where they are or where the culture is.

41:39You know what I mean? It's like we have people with classic sounds reemerge. Like you said, it's like the game changes every 10 years, but it also comes back every 20. You know what I'm saying? History repeats itself in an interesting way. So I think, you know, right now my focus is definitely just what is my authentic voice at this time? What is true to me at this time? What do I want to convey? How do I want to convey it at this time? And I think that I use that as my God and light, my North Star, and not like what the landscape of the game is per se. Like there's a small awareness of that. obviously because you got to know the league that you win you know you guys can relate to that you know saying you got to know the playing field or whatever but for the most part I play my game you know but that got that has to

42:30Shannon Sharpe:be hard because if you do something over and over again it's like I wish you give us something new and when you give them something new I wish they give I wish you go back to the old stuff because I see that a lot of times guys like man I wish you would do something else and when they do something else now all of a sudden man, I like the old stuff. So how does someone evolve if every time they give you something that you're not used to seeing, it seems like to me that the only person that they allowed to evolve was Beyonce because she went from one genre to a whole new genre and got more people and got women wearing cowboy boots and cowboy hats and Daisy Duke still at the concert again.

43:09Shannon Sharpe:But when it comes to rap and other genres, they won't let that artist get out of that box. It's more a picture hold. Yeah, yeah. I definitely agree with that. I think, you know, you got to do your role in blocking out the noise. OK, because, you know, what I've learned is that fans are fickle. You know what I'm saying? Like like what Jay said is like they love you and they hate you and they love you again. You know what I'm saying? It's like they don't know what you want, what they want. So I feel like as an artist, you always got to be doing for you. you know what I'm saying whatever is true for you at the time and even if because I'm definitely big and big on that idea of not making the same regurgitated thing and taking risks I enjoy taking risks you know what I'm saying uh and being experimental like I enjoy when I play a song for somebody and somebody's like that's you like that that that that okay yeah you like okay you like that surprise yeah because it's like okay like I've I did something that you didn't think I could do you know I'm saying it's like I'm breaking the mold that you may have over me in your mind you know I'm saying you didn't know I could I could go there but at the same time it's still me if you will you know what I mean but um yeah like I said just to answer your question is short though um you got to do for you you know it's funny too because I was just kind of having a mental thought and I'm like damn like who do I make music for and I'm like you know what like I really can generally say that I make music for me.

44:42Like I make the music that from my experience and that like, I kind of want to listen to, or I want to drive my car to, or I want to feel fly to, you know what I mean? And then it's like, everybody else is kind of secondary. And I know that might feel, that might sound a little funny, but that is, that was the thought that I had when I made my first body of work. Like there was nobody, there was no audience, there was no fans. It was just me and my four walls and I'm like, this is dope. Like, I think this is tight. You know what I'm saying? So I stay I try to stay as close to that that place. Listen, as long as you've been in the game and all the work that you've done over the years, I understand the politics that comes into the music industry.

45:27It's a very, very fickle, very, very dangerous industry from a political standpoint. if there's one that you would love to work with that you haven't worked with who would it be I would love to work with Pharrell he's got to go to the rooms because my phone is about to die telling y 'all I was I was fighting sleep Pharrell but yeah Pharrell is definitely somebody who I've always wanted to work with and we've crossed paths many times we just haven't been able to damn

46:02Shannon Sharpe:Joey did you play Did you pay your light bill? Oh, did I pay you? You funny. Damn. If I ain't nobody, that's where you like. Get a candle or something. Yo, yo, I don't think you heard. I don't think you understand. Like, it's bedtime over here. You know what I'm saying? Like, lights is out over here. Yo, where you at? Where you live at? I'm on the East Coast. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm up in New York. Okay. well you had the you you are at the uh the birthplace the mecca of hip-hop give me some of your early influences who who was influential to that joy like you know what i want to do that oh jay nas biggie mf doom uh pak black moon um Dang.

47:00J-Rooter Damager. I was a big J-Rooter Damager fan. Who else? Shit. Even R &B, man. Shit. Little shit. Even more new generation. Little Bow Wow. Yeah. I was a kid in that era. So, like, seeing Little Bow Wow do his thing did a lot for me. Because I was like, oh, shit. I could do that. You know what I mean? Yeah. People sleep with my boy Shad. Shad deserves way more. Bow was like that. He had a nice run, boy. He had a real nice run. Hey, Joe, you listen to Battle Rap? Oh, yeah. Okay, okay, yeah. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love Battle Rap, you know what I mean? My man, Loaded Lux. Lux.

47:47Yeah, I just had a back and forth with the homie Daylight earlier this year, you know. Daylight, Daylight. Dottie is probably on my top five battle rappers as well, along with the other two names I mentioned. Yeah, and I love the battle rap culture, man. Yeah, I love that.

48:04Shannon Sharpe:So what's going on with you in the West Coast? What's going on? Yeah. Oh, we cool. We cool. We had a little, you know, lyrical squabble. Yeah. But, you know, it wasn't about nothing. It was just, you know, everybody wanting to show that they the best. Right. You know, so, yeah, we got down a little bit. It was fun, but it was all fun. I just didn't know you guys were still on that type of time. Yeah, yeah. Like, I mean, listen, it was all in good faith, and I'm grateful for that. You know what I mean? I made a statement at the beginning of the year, and one of my records and some rappers on the West Coast took offense to it.

48:47I didn't mean offense to it, but at the same time, I respected their perspective. Right. And, you know, we pretty much just traded some bars. Right. May the better pin win. May the better pin win. Indeed. Indeed. Indeed.

49:06Shannon Sharpe:Do you kick it with anybody or you're soloist? I am by nature now in this phase of my life. I do. I am solo a lot. But yeah, yeah. Like when you say anybody, you mean like rapper friends type of thing? Yeah, yeah. You got, you know, the homie that you kick it with. Oh, yeah. That's in the game. Like, you know, J.R.D. is a great friend of mine. Okay. Corday is a great friend of mine. Okay. Asap Ferg, Denzel Curry. Like, those are my guys for real. And then it's like, you know, I got a bunch of people just scattered throughout the industry that are really solid individuals and I've been rocking with for a long time for sure.

49:52You know how it is. I said, man, you get to a certain age. It's just not what it was in the early 20s and in your teenage years when you hang with people every day and stuff like that. We all got our own.

50:05Shannon Sharpe:The older I get, once you get to a certain age, you get to pick your friends. It ain't like when you were in elementary school, junior high and high school and everybody just surrounded. Oh, that's my friend. That's my friend. Right, right. You get older, you get to pick your friend. Absolutely. And you notice you pick less and less of them. Yeah, that's true. That's true, man. You got less time to vet them. No, that's a fact. I've always heard the saying, pick your friends like you pick your fruit. Because I'll be in the fruit aisle in the grocery store for a minute, like looking through. Yeah, that's why you got to wash your fruit when you get home.

50:41Shannon Sharpe:You hear what he's saying? He done had it in his hand. He done thumped it. He done tossed it up like it was a tennis ball. you gotta watch that Apple check this out you made your television acting debut on a US network you try to do any more acting oh not trying brother I am doing oh you doing absolutely doing I got some projects in the works right now that I can't necessarily reveal at the moment but I'm excited to share them when I can reveal like this really big project i'm really excited about that shoots in paris next year probably gonna be like you know one of my i feel like this could be like you know my real magnum opus in the film tv world you know um inshallah but um yeah you know raising canaan we still got one more season to go for that that's been a pleasure and then i had the netflix short a few years ago, Two Distant Strangers that won the Oscar.

53:09Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to give you one of those. Appreciate that. You got to keep it classy, man. The funny thing about it, the funny thing about it is people will hear what I just said and not be able to visualize what I'm talking about. There's a message behind that. Unless you're in that mode, in that spirit, and have that vision, you'll never understand what I say. So you go back and listen to it again with your eyes closed. then the people in the chat you'll understand where I'm going with it. Then it comes to life. Bingo. Yeah. Everybody can't. They don't have my vision. Everybody can't go.

53:47Everybody can't get on that plane. We just talked about that.
