It's primal. And that's raw, car heart girl. Speaking of sneaky big tits, are you out there fucking? I'm doing that. Years ago, I've worked me in a couple. |

| 0:35.5 | Hey, good morning. |
| 0:36.6 | Good afternoon. |
| 0:37.3 | Good evening. And good night. And from zero times on the show because of lost technology. Whoa! To a second or third time. This is a second of... Well, this is your third time on the show. Yeah. First one is gone. And we keep saying we may have found it. No, we figured it out. We think we found it on an un-finalized CD. I have the CD. I think we didn't finalize it. It says De La on it, and he can't play it. So we think we have to find the CD player that it was originally recorded in. Do you remember that? That we did the interview, and then it got lost to someone? It was so sad. |
| 1:11.6 | Yeah. |
| 1:12.6 | You came to high 97. It was hip hop honors. Oh, shit. Oh, okay, okay. This is like first time I probably every one. But it's legendary on our podcast that we have this daylight interview that never came out. Because it's so us to fuck something up that bad, essentially. like um |
| 1:26.3 | Poss told us like |
| 1:28.7 | how has made his name |
| 1:30.7 | and he goes I never tell the story, and it's on that interview, and it got lost. Oh, sure. So, all that type of shit. And then, uh, so I found the CD in my house. I was like, oh, I have it. Ah! Played it. Nothing. Nothing. So, like, I wonder if the guy recording it didn't. |
| 1:45.7 | Remember, you used to have to finalize the CD? So we've been trying, like, what we call on the station? What, what CD player was it? We don't need the exact one, but we need the same model. We should call T-Storm. There's got to be a technology. AI is going to fix it. Just go to AI. |
| 2:00.6 | Now, but we then, then we all sat down in Atlanta, uh, years later. Um, rest of peace, combat jack. That's when we had the sit down. We did combat jack one day. We did you guys the next day. Um, De La Sol. Cabin in the sky is out. They sent us the link yesterday. I was told by Mass Appeal to not leak anything, which I did off the Bigel album. They frown on that. They do frown on that. But it was the day before the album came out, and I was super excited about the MacMiller feature. I went, just let people hear it. They people want to know. But i'm not going to do it because they specifically said |
| 2:34.9 | in the email don't but guys this fucking album this is a what's it you guys i just want to say some |
| 2:41.7 | before you even say a word you guys do hip hop very well wow like no because there's a lot of shit that's called hip hop nowadays. That's all over the place. You know what I'm saying? And I don't knock anyone, you know, we were young guys trying to make this music and we made something. And then these young guys are making something different. But what I, in my heart, call hip hop music. No, no. This thing we call hip hop. This thing we call hip. |
| 3:07.6 | You do it very well. |
| 3:09.2 | Thank you, thank you, thank you, but. |
| 3:10.1 | For real, man. No, it's so, it's the best feeling in the world when you listen to new music from a group that you love. Yeah. Let me just start here. And it's not a piece of shit. That's the first step. You're like, yes, I don't have to lie when I see them. |
| 3:23.5 | Yeah. |
| 3:23.9 | But then when it keeps getting better and better, and you're like, oh, no, no, no, they really got in their bag. So I probably am like 13 songs in so far. The intro is... There's 140 songs on the album. There's a lot. A couple of weeks. They were like, you know what? Fuck it. Let's just put them all out. All of it. No, but the intro was so interesting.
