(02:10):

So when I say life is lifeis because Beyonce, I know me and
you are very similar when you inthat waiting period and when you on a
plane ready to go somewhere and getsomewhere, and you know, I don't
have a whole lot of patience,That's what I'm saying. So, so
yeah, that's where I'm at rightnow. Wow, And I want to

(02:35):
kind of say same but not quitelike in a holding pattern. I think
my situation is me like, girl, come on now, you gotta get
it together now now you know goodand well you would have been done this
and h But I'm like, hmmm, I have a couple of things going
where I'm like, okay, lord, I heard your answer, but is

(02:57):
that really your answer or is thatme trying to flip your answer. I
do that all the time. Ido that all the time. You'll talk
to me and tell me what itis, but then I'll try to like
fight it, like, man,let me wait and see what he has
to say, because I'm waiting forhim to do what I want him to
do and not what he knows what'sbest for me to do. Period.
Yeah. So yeah, that's whereI am right now. But it's all

(03:17):
good. That's life right now.Life is life and life life. We're
taking it day by day by day. We can do by day, are
you The key is trusting in him, Yes, the key and that is
and for me it's it's these seasonsthough, where the faith is really built.

(03:39):
And it's these seasons where you reallyhave to be reminded of, you
know, the plan that he alreadysaid, so you just have to let
it play out. But it's theseseasons also in the flesh is like I'm
about to lose my mind and goin. Well you and you got to
testify. Besides, maybe twenty fourhours ago, I've been yeah up here,

(04:11):
you have not. I've been chilling, been chilling. Yeah, No,
seriously, I've been chilling. I'vebeen chilling. It's all good.
But again, he knows what weneed, he knows our desires, he
knows our heart. So those threethings a gotta keep it moving. So
let's talk these beefs hip hop rightnow. You know, there's a whole

(04:33):
lot going on with the whole futuremetro booming Drake Kendrick Lamar. You know
I said this since the jump.I believe and this is my opinion.
I believe that there is a bitof fakeness to these beefs. I think
they start off maybe like MM,but then once the momentum goes Yes,

(04:56):
I really do, because they aregenerating so much publicity and so much money
off of these beefs. I reallythink that they are fake. Case in
point, the Baby even saying somebodyapproached him about doing a fake beef.
He did, And do I thinksome of it maybe? Yeah? But
do I think the top people thatare going at it right now, like

(05:18):
Drake and Kendrick is fake. No. I think that's been a beat that's
been around for years. It hasbeen Drake has even talked about this like
ten plus years ago. This hasbeen an ongoing you know what I'm saying
now the Baby and them. Yes, do I think there are some rappers
that are like, let me tryto get in this. I think Rick
Ross was trying to I love Chicago'son Kanye. I think he was trying

(05:38):
to get his foot. I thinka lot of people were trying to get
in it where I like that.Jake Cole was like, oh I got
in it. I apologize, I'mout he messed up. But I feel
like Kendrick and Drake, Yeah,I think that's a real one. I'm
not saying it's not real. I'mnot saying they don't have any animosity against
each other. Yeah, But I'mjust saying they are really hyping this up

(06:00):
and playing it up to the fullest. They should, they should, they
should, So it's just unbelievable.I heard last night the six minute comeback
from Kendrick. What do you thinkwinning? Like, I personally don't think
either one of them is winning.I really don't. I think it's because
I'm a fan of both facts.They are both amazing lyricists. I mean

(06:20):
they I think Drake's a little bitmore commercial with it. Yeah, they
are both bomb Yeah. I lovethem both, and I think it's hilarious.
I think it's great entertainment. Iwanted to keep going, but I
don't want it to go on someserious stuff like Hey, meet me in
such and such city and we canreally squash this whole thing. In person,
I don't want none of that unlessRoman stuff. Drake's is clearly commercial,

(06:44):
like we literally are playing on wg C I, where Kendrick is
like, I'm just coming at youin a six minute disk. Ye,
I think their net. I likeboth of them too. I think both
of them are equally like no oneis ahead in this battle at all.
They both have taken shots like it'sneck and neck, and I don't think
that's gonna It's gonna go left.The one I'm worried about, and I'm
thankfully I'm hoping that it's calming down. Yes, see the concert audience at

(07:12):
Chris Brown allegedly bought the tickets too. Man, that's old though, you
know he got that like from yearsago. I'm just worried about that one
because when you talk about the deadman, not a good look. Not
a good look, but also tooChris is an R and B singer,
but Chris is on another level,Chris. Chris gives none. Okay,

(07:34):
like, can we just say thatyou don't mess with Chris? And I
feel like somebody in Kuovo's camp kindof said, hey, you may want
to fall back on this man.But I also understand couvos like, nah,
he talks about the dead, andI'm afraid Streak can get I'm afraid
if all these beefs that are goingon, if those two saw each other

(07:57):
a weekend in la or something,we'd have another Pocking Biggie situation. That
one scares me. Yeah, wedon't want that. No, we really
don't want that, because that onedoes not seem fake really, and knowing
Chris Brown and you know, it'sa little temper and everything. I love
them though. You're good artists,amazing artists. But uh yeah, I

(08:20):
hope that one dies down a littlebit. I really do that one,
don't. We don't want that seriousdrama. It's not that serious. If
you don't care for each other,that's one thing, But we don't need
loss of life or any kind ofserious issues like that. It is not
that serious. It's never gonna bethat serious. No. I definitely don't
want to go street wise as faras like Drake and Kendrick, though,

(08:41):
I like that. It gives asense that like hip hop is bad yep.
I feel like hip hop was quietand you can kind of have fun
with it, you know what Imean, as long as again, you're
not talking about the dead or somebody'smama or something that's really really sensitive.
If you keep it on that entertainmentlevel, it works. You think Kendrick
not went far because there's a beef. It's a battle, so you can

(09:03):
say anything. But talking about Drakebarely being a father, do you consider
that kind of Nah? I don'tthink. Nah. Not really bringing up
the kids, well, I guesshe didn't bring up You really shouldn't bring
up the kids. It's brought up. But it's like indirectly. Indirectly.
Now, if you say your sonis then that's a problem. No fact,
Yeah, don't do that, ordon't talk about anybody's mama. Don't

(09:24):
you know what I'm saying. Youcould talk about his cargo plane and stuff
like that all day. But yeah, so we'll see what happens with this.
But sometimes I think this is justfor pure entertainment and revenue. Speaking
of pure entertainment and revenue, MissyElliott has added another Chicago show to her
tour. That's crazy, man,she's here in I want to say the

(09:46):
summer that yeah, and then uhusher added another Chicago show in October.
Yeah. So it's a lot offestivals to pop off in city. You
know, summertime, shy, thereis nothing like it. Mag Stallion will
be here in May seventeen. Yeah, yeah, a lot going on with

(10:09):
Alaala August first through the fourth,yep, A taste of Chicago. What
else, Just so many different festivals, street festival, Ascars, coming back,
NASCAR's coming back that's July sixth andseventh. Chicago is just one of
the most beautiful cities in the world, not only aesthetically but just what it
offers, the diverse neighborhoods, thedifferent festivals, so much to offer.

(10:31):
You could do so so many thingsin the city, whether it's theater or
music or just hanging out in thepark. You know, Chicago's a vibe.
Honestly, I say it all thetime. Summertime shy, You're it's
hard to compete. There are afew cities I put, of course La,
because I think LA and New YorkI put that they're year round kind

(10:52):
of dope. Yeah, where's Chicago, you say, what twenty four seven?
Twenty four seven, Yeah, Whe'sChicago. You know, when it
gets called out, we kind ofshut down a little bit, a little
bit still be out, but yeah, Chicago summertime is it's tough because you
still got the boat scene that peoplelike. Chicago's tough in the summer.
It's tough to be you got thesports. I mean, we are just
