Hey guys, welcome to this week's episode of Congratulations!

Yeah, guys, what is freaking up?

Dude, what is freaking up?

Gotta say freaking more like a Mormon, you know, I have to actually because I have a kid and I just have a potty mouth.

And I don't need to have a potty mouth around my kid because pretty soon he's gonna be up the of the age where one time my

my grandma was changing my cousin Nick's diaper and he couldn't talk and he wasn't like letting her change the diaper and she says,

oh, you're full of shit and he says, fush it.

And Matt and I laughed and laughed and laughed and mad, my brother, if you're not a listener, if you are, you know how Matt is.

Yeah, so, you know, I'm doing actually a bunch of episodes in a row here so I don't know what's which ones are gonna come out when,

which ones are gonna come out before or after or whatever, but news came out today that DMX passed away.

And it was a little bit like is he did he pass away or not for like four days and I just kind of listen to his album a little bit and I got that guy was just

fucking talented, you know, like some guys were just rough around the edges but had it and it just kind of like flowed through them.

And he was that way I felt when I was not when I was what was I when it came out 1997 I think the first album maybe 99.

I think 97 and I was a huge two-pack fan obviously, you know, I still am but when the fucking when that dark man X shit came out,

first of all when I first heard that song, the first song I heard was when my dogs at and I was just like this guy's really

barking, he's really really barking. This guy is Ellen barking and he's like butters, you know what I mean?

And the cover was cool and I was just like finally someone does it, you know, I was like maybe he's not as good as two-pack

but he's doing it like that on that level and I just loved his stuff. It was just the right amount of dark to, I mean because like dude you would like I was a fucking

17 year old kid in Lachin Yada and I would be listening to that and I would be like you know what?

It is dark and how fucking is hot dude? Like and he the thing about him is he knew it so I knew it you understand?

You can get to a level of artistry where you're telling someone the truth and that's your truth artistically and whether or not they think that,

they believe it while you're saying it and that's when a song can fucking knock you out or you know a painting you look at and you're just like wow or whatever it is.
