This is the beat with Ari Melba and this is one of those days I get excited about. Jeru, the Damager is here. How are you? International rapper in every sense of the word. Thanks for doing this, man. Thanks for having me here. It was an honor, you know, so many people hit me up on an Instagram. They're like, oh my God, Ari Mel remember, you know that dude. He's reciting your

lyrics. So I was like, oh, that's just real cool. Now, you know, I've seen you do it before. Yeah. But it's always different when it's your stuff. And then the topics that you use the rhymes for, they're so appropriate. Well, thank you. That means a lot coming from me. Yeah, I was like, You know what, let me hit this guy.

No, I was glad we got to start talking.

And the reason it came up, it wasn't like, oh, how do I get Drew out of Germany and back to New York? It wasn't like that. It was more looking at Mike Flynn. Right.

Who went around the country running against Hillary saying, you know, this is what happens, lock her up. You plead the fifth.

That means you did something wrong. Then it was because he couldn't stop running his mouth that he got

in so much trouble. And so we said, you're playing yourself. And let's be clear, people have been

quoting that for a long time. I want to show you people in hip hop today. And some of the younger,

newer viewers may know these folks

even maybe more than the forefathers.

Let's take a look.

Play in yourself.

Let's play a new segment right now as having a little fun.

It's called Congratulations.

Congratulations, you played yourself.

So all that big, really talk, hop you're playing yourself, y'all. Playing yourself, ya, playing yourself.

You Plagueyin'Yus.

I'm giving the congratulations you played yourself to America.

Your Ebro's got your beat, so he's given the direct citation.

Other people call it and others say it.

What does it mean you played yourself?

It basically means that you made a fool of yourself.
