Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please.
The show starts in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go.
This is a Chao production.
What is happening ladies and gentlemen, Twisted Critics.
This is a Sunday afternoon, September 17th.
What is going on? I'm joined online with the other two crazy co-hosts, Candy and A.M.
What you guys up to?
Hey, I'm watching the game, but I'm in here with y'all.
This is going to be, this is going to go bad.
Nah, same. I'm just drinking and watching the game.
Gotcha, gotcha. I'm happy to have you boys with me and I'm happy to be drinking with you guys.
So let's dive right into it. We have a really special guest.
We've got one of our family members as a special guest.
A.M. pulling out the guitar to serenade him, I think.
It's either that or he's playing the music for Baltimore.
The death march.
All right. So let me kick things off.
What is the Twisted Critics as the Twisted Critics podcast?
We are the bias, the unbiased brothers across the whole U.S. who dig music and music business.
Twisted Critics originally began with me and my cousin, Tony Ganja in 2018.
And it's now relaunched with two crazy new co-hosts, A.M. and Candelario.
Myself and A.M. are active artists ourselves.
Us three are collaborators, radio reviewers, friends and current business execs from Hear My Voice Entertainment and Publishing.
Starting this year, the Twisted Critics podcast is curating our very own Spotify set of VIP playlists
to better help promote our special guest and other songs that we just very much love and play every single week.
Damn right. From both good, bad experience in the rap game, our jobs around the industry and questions,
misinformation that we've heard at music conferences, we remember what it's like to start out,
mistakes and being told false information everywhere you ask.
So we try to provide direct answers, correct business practices, clear legal steps and helpful resources.
It's our mutual love, though, from all of our weekly calls, our Ear for Urban Music, our mathematical eyes on the radio charts,
our reviews for the labels, our heated song debates, the guests and our solidarity in sharing a few drinks
to build this therapeutic, productive and often wild platform for y'all to check out.
If nothing else, tune in with an open mind, a notepad and a full glass to enjoy an informative, entertaining, twisted vibe.
And you might learn something. I know I do every time.
Please be interactive and send questions via our social media and will not only give you a shout out on air,
but also give you directions and advice to us three, our believers in the motto, a drunk man or woman tells no lies
and how we can equally be helpful and entertaining. We like to call it education through inebriation.
I love that every single week when both y'all boys say that.
So let the people out there, let's give them their salutations, let them know who each of us are.
So A.M., why don't you kick us off just like Hear My Voice does. What's your little elevator pitch? Let them know who you are.
Rapper A.M., Arian Miller is the name that I was born with. I'm a rapper, battle rapper, photographer, videographer.
I fight, I love all of those things. And my father as well. Father literally comes before everything and anything.
I've been a rapper for a long time. I'm an A&R for Hear My Voice.
Also, this is the third podcast that I work on. My second one is on hiatus.
But I still every once in a while vent on my solo podcast. So I have a nice amount of experience with this.
One of the big things that I'm doing this year and going forward is I'm helping build this.
Co-host Doc brought me on, trying to do my best to make sure we move this in the right direction.
We already have. And I'm going to use this platform to put eyes on everything that we all collectively are doing, no matter if it's music or anything else.
That was an amazing elevator pitch. I just want to sign you right now. It gives me a little good butterflies inside.
Thank you. Yeah. Let's see if I can let's see if I can match up with that candy.
So my name is Doc J. Used to go by Mike Medic. Real name is Joselito. I'm a big mutt. I'm part Italian, part Slovakian, part Puerto Rican.
I was born in upstate New York, Westchester County, Sleepy Hollow.
Moved down at a very, very, very early age. Lived in South Florida for like 27 years. And now my wife and I are in central Florida.
I have a degree in copyright trademark law and also a degree in civil engineering, designing roadways.
I've interned at three different record labels, Sony Music, Atlantic Records, and the latest one was Epic Records.
I now have this wonderful collective and family of friends and crazy people called Hear My Voice Entertainment and Publishing.
And this is the relaunch of the podcast that I said I would never, ever, ever do.
But I got the two co-captains comrades that are dragging me along and I'm having so much fun with it.
I like to sit on music conferences. I like to answer questions.
I generally point towards like the lawsuit and copyright law side of it.
But I just want people to know how to do things right and get on the radio and actually make a bag and make a living out of music business.
That's all I'm about.
So last but not least, I know we got the you always gotta say the best for last.
So my name is Candelario Villarreal, aka Candy, aka Too Sweet in the Streets, Extra Spicy in the Sheets.
I'm from Brownsville, Texas, the southernmost tip of Texas.
I started out doing local parties, moved myself into the promoter space.
And now I'm expanding my business as I joined Hear My Voice Entertainment, where I focused on artist development and being a marketing director.
I plan on expanding my musical market in the area and becoming a prominent figure within my community.
And let's get it on, baby. Let's go.
That was equally good, too, man. I'm proud of you guys.
We are the Twisted Critics.
So and come along with that is that we like to share a drink or multiple together.
So this is what you drinking on Candy. What are you drinking on, my brother?
So just to be sipping on, I got to make a little gold by one of the smoothest beers.
It is organic as well. You know, try and watch the figure.
And then we take shots. I got a similar but different model of book on us.
So, Doc, what you drinking on?
All right. So in ode and respect to our special guest, I am drinking a wine, a red wine, Italian red wine.
My favorite wine is a Melbeck. But my second favorite wine is a San Giovese.
This is from a Tuscany brand type of wine that's from Tuscany, Italy.
It goes with like almost everything I could cook with.
And it's also a really good cooking wine, too. Pretty dry, but has a little like light sweetness that I enjoy about it.
And then in the case that you guys make me slip up on a WFW wrong fucking word of the week, I got some Bacardi Raspberry.
That's what I'll be taking shots with. So hopefully we don't slip up too much.
But A.M., what you drinking on, fool?
I'm pairing up a bit of Tenth Ward. I'm ginning here.
It has some rye in there. So it's a gin of a inspired gin.
Fifty percent natural cane spirits, fifty percent whiskey distilled from rye mash.
And then in my left hand, I have queen bees meats.
Both of these drinks are literally made by ladies. And I love that.
But just because it's made by ladies doesn't mean that it's not strong.
That's what's up. So if we're going to kick this off right, we have to kick it off the correct way.
Everyone raise a glass, whatever you're taking for your shot.
Today, I'm rocking with the Puerto Rican shot glass, if you guys want to see that real quick.
And raise a glass. This is in honor to you boys and for a great show.
And hopefully Rob rides with us and gets intoxicated as fuck with us.
I believe he will.
All right. Salud, boys.
Salud.
As always, we as Twisted Critics want to do our best to make sure we the guests and listeners break the ice,
get comfortable, get loose and join in the fun by using our little torturous banana peel buzzword each episode that we call the WFW or the wrong fucking word of the week.
You ain't lying, man. Every time someone slips and says it, everyone takes a shot.
No questions asked. OK, it's your turn, Doc, to pick it.
We've all read Rob's bio. He reviews with us on the panel each week.
But what kind of evil term are you thinking of messing with our afternoons with?
I think we've all had a long week. I know I have and it's about to be another long week.
I got to actually take care of someone's chickens for the next eight days, which I am not ready for.
And I have to actually go there before I go to work. So I'll be dressed up dealing with chickens.
So let's go. I'm ready. Us knowing our Miami brother pretty well.
Today, our WFW. I've got a very, very mean one.
I'm going with the term review and any other tense or derivative of it.
So review, reviewed, reviewing, reviewed. I don't care.
Anything related to review we drinking on. I think I'm going to get him and I think I'm getting us to.
You are. All right. So we're going to move on to segment three. It's going to be time capsule.
So we're going to turn back the clock a little bit.
Episode number three consists of the date 917 to 923.
And we're going to take a quick look at the dates throughout all of urban music history.
First and foremost, let's give some props and pay some respect to those who are not here right now to receive them.
I'm going to kick it off this week. We've got six deaths starting September 19th.
We have DJ Rock Rada. He passed away in 2009.
Big New York Hot 97 DJ that would break a lot of independent underground rappers.
September 20th, we have Sarah Dash. She is a member of Patti LaBelle and the Bluebirds.
She passed away in 2021. September 20th, we got seven Hardway passed away in 2022.
And it's number 21st. We got Shadi Lowe passed away 2016.
Then we're going to go to September 21st. We have Looney the Goat 2022.
We have September 22nd. It's going to be Vesta Williams. She passed in 2011.
What's interesting with this week, boys, is Rob, I showed a screenshot of this and he goes, I never heard of any of these people.
And I just started bugging out. I'm like, you better do some research, man.
So it's like I can like name something about all of them.
But like Rock Rada is predominantly someone that will break music on the radio.
Sarah Dash, like I said, with Patti LaBelle. Seven Hardaway.
He was an artist that was big on mixtapes. And I believe he came out of the Virginia scene.
Yes.
Looney the Goat. Looney the Goat is actually a one.
You know how there's all those Texas rappers that Kandi has up there that blew up in the late 90s?
Yes.
Looney the Goat is one person from the Baltimore scene that would sell 50, 60, 70,000 mixtapes out of his trunk but never got signed.
And then Vesta Williams, she's one that she was like an R&B artist from like the mid 80s to the early 90s.
Started doing a little acting and kind of got off singing from that.
But much respect to all of them, RIP and you know, I don't, you know, I want all people to stay here and get their flowers while they're alive.
Now on a much happier note, let's go over and celebrate birthdays for the Virgo crew as the Virgos are sliding out the window, hopefully.
Kandi, why don't you let them know and go first?
I got you, man. So this week we got a lot. So let me start off with the big V-Day shout out.
The blast, September 17, turning 31.
Actually, the fan of his music, I kind of like his, I don't know, I guess like his style.

Also on September 17, we got Doug E. Fresh, turning 57.

September 20, he's going to be 48 and Trick Daddy.
September 20, he's going to be a big wop at 50 years old.
Let's go.
Because I'm a thug.
I think that was really fitting for us having Rob on here.
He's from Miami as well. So that's what's up.
Speaking of Rob, let's move on to segment four, the hot seat.
This is where we have a special guest.
And ironically this week we have one of our family members, Rob from the Mob, representing Miami.
I feel it's time that we open the phone lines.
Patchy from the Caller, are you up in this place, Mr. Rob from the Mob?
Man, I'm here with you. Good.
Oh man, that's what's up. It's good to have family in here.
I don't think you and Candy have heard each other on the phone yet, have you?
It's a first.
It's a first. That's what's up. So I'm very proud of that, man.
So awesome, man. The bumping and dumping panel feels complete.
Greetings, bro. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time I'm hearing your voice.
What you're drinking on, man?
Man, I'm drinking on some Don Julio Rosado 1942.
Let's go.
I could share a little bit with y'all, but it's definitely a toast for the Hear My Voice crew.
Mr. Rob, I am representing for you. I usually drink liquor, but today I'm drinking wine.
Well, for my shot I got some Bacardi Raspberry, so I guess I am drinking some liquor.
But real quick before we go into your intro, I want you to see like, I'm a big Melbeck fan,
but when I cook a lot, I like Tuscany wines.
So I got some Sangiovese, which I really, really love. This is like my second best go-to wine.
And it's good sipper because it really mixes with every food, and I could cook with it too.
So in your Smollier type of setup, you know, teach me something about Sangiovese.
Just take about a minute. I want to know what I'm drinking on.
Well, the good thing about Italian wine is it's food-friendly wine.
Like you said, if you're going to an Italian restaurant, you know, you're eating Carbonara,
you're doing anything with any type of Italian ingredients, you definitely want Sangiovese.
That's definitely their master grape over there.
So you definitely want to sip on that when you're in an Italian restaurant doing your thing.
So good choice, Doc.
See, I am. This is why I love him.
He definitely lets me know I'm drinking the right thing every once in a while.
And then if I'm drinking the wrong thing, he'd be like, mm-mm, mm-mm.
Trash. It's trash.
All right. So yes, sir.
Now gentlemen, get your drinks ready before we kick it off.
Doc, why don't you do what you do every show and get the man his proper introduction?
All right. All right.
This is a brother of a brother of mine.
And now he's here, my voice for a little over a year.
He is Mr. Robert Lawrence, aka Rob from the Mob, representing M.I.A.O.
Originally from New Jersey.
He is a rapper, songwriter.
He is a big video gamer.
And he's one of my only friends.
I know that's a wine sommelier that's moved up tiers.
He also has his own company. It's called Elite Enterprise.
Am I right with that?
Elite level promotion.
He has he has merchandise, he has clothing.
And like I said, the video gaming, he loves sports video games, especially boxing.
And him and I could talk hours on boxing if we wanted to.
So, Rob, with that being said, I hope I kicked you off right.
I hope you did you right.
But just like everything we hear my voice in the entertainment, Rob, I want you to elevate a pitch yourself real quick to our listeners and fan base.
Definitely, man. What's up, y'all? Rob from the Mob.
I'm in Miami Beach, Florida, originally born in Passaic, New Jersey.
And Doc hit all the points, man.
I'm an aspiring artist, producer, songwriter, just trying to make a, you know, make a change in the game, you know, taking small steps.
Just bringing the music to the forefront.
Yeah, I do have my own company. We do our own merch.
We do our own designs, logos, things like that.
Doing well for myself with it. Thank God.
Definitely music is 100 percent of my being.
I live, breathe and sweat music. I love it.
And I'm just trying to take a different approach to the game, trying to do more of an underground level.
I've always been an underground artist, fan of the underground rap scene.
So I kind of follow in those footsteps versus the more more popular ways of doing it.
I like the other the backdoor method a little bit better than what we see is more commonplace these days, for sure.
But thank you. And it's an honor to be here with you fellas. Thank you for taking the time to have me on the show.
Yo, Rob, get your drink ready, man.
I got it here in my hand, baby. We ain't going nowhere.
So I got the first question. Is Rob from the Mob the only street rap name you ever had?
And here a freestyle memory where it really bailed you out.
Yep, that's what I got. Rob from the Mob. I always thought it had a nice ring to it.
And yeah, it bailed me out of quite a few freestyles. I love to freestyle.
I'll write down lyrics for song for song purposes.
But in the end of the day, I love to get up on stage in front of people and just spit.
Rob from the Mob. One time I was just stuck, man.
Couldn't think of anything to say. And I was on stage.
And then I just pulled out the whole slob on my knob. I'm Rob from the Mob.
I had to take it from three six.
And man, I had the whole crowd saying it for like five minutes.
Slob on my knob. I'm Rob from the Mob. Slob.
And it really helped. I didn't have to say another word after that.
And I had the whole crowd pumped, man.
It was pretty cool. And I actually won the contest that day.
That's what's up, Rob. The reason why we kind of slid that question in there is like, I know at least A.M. and I,
we've gone through a few names and then I always I started writing when I was 14, started rapping when I was 16.
So I went from MC 9-11 until 9-11 happened.
And I pulled that name with a pass.
And then I was since 9-11, I've been Doc J because everyone said I would doctor and fix people up and do the medical fixing and make sure I repair hip hop.
And for a little while, I went by Mike Medic. I think that was like during the Slim Shady days.
So I was like my alter ego. But I've always been Doc J as well.
So I think that's where that question came from. But, you know, it's kind of cool that that's been your name and your identity the entire time.
In me reading your bio, your bio actually names drama classes an early key to your art. Was there a role or performance that you could remember that made you realize that you had talent?
A specific role, maybe not as much as how much the school utilized me to do projects, I would say.
Maybe whenever there was orientations for like younger students coming to the high school or they would always use me to do some, you know,
performance, some sort of pantomime or some sign of, you know, two man act or three man act.
And it would always be like various things, but they would always choose me.
You know, I was one of the favorites of the class and they would use me a lot to do all these little performances and stuff like that.
So that gave me the confidence saying, hey, you know, I must be doing something right.
They always got me, put me in front of the crowd and stuff.
And I always loved it. I always got a kick out of it. So I was always eager to participate.
That was a nice answer. From your mom's political asylum and going from Cuba to Jersey to Miami, your family journey is very interesting.
How is your culture and background important to you?
Oh, it's everything to me, man. I really love Latin culture.
You know, I've been blessed to be raised in a Cuban household in the United States.
You know what I mean? Because Cuba's got some really crazy stuff going on.
So I'm lucky and blessed to be here. And I actually, you know, got to grow up in that kind of environment, you know, speaking Spanish, you know, eating all Latin foods and learning the music, the culture and everything.
And it's beautiful, man. You know, I've got the best of both worlds, you know, because I'm also here in the United States of America.
So it's definitely something. And I represent, you know, my Cuban side and my American side to the fullest.
That's a badass answer, honestly. Thank you. But I got you one right here.
Prison sounds like a big turning point. Were there any lessons or experience you took from it, you know, just for your life?
And what did you take from it to add to your music? It let me know that God is no joke. God is real, man.
People will look at prison as something bad and something negative, man. I took it and turned it into the positive, the biggest blessing I've ever had, you know, definitely opened my eyes and made me realize that this stuff, you can't take it for granted.
You know, this is all a blessing. This is all a gift. Enjoy living to the fullest. I changed my whole life.
Did a 180 from before I went to prison until after I got out. And I wouldn't change a day of it for anything. And it definitely showed me that this life is worth living and to not take any of this for granted and just be thankful for everything I got.
So I think, you know, living every day with that kind of mindset is a blessing compared to not having that kind of mindset. So I get to enjoy every day. Like, it's just the best gift ever given to me.
I love that. Yo, Candy, that is a clip and a half right there.
Especially with a lot of minorities. You know, I got a family that either they were born here, raised in Mexico. When they came over here, got into trouble or they're trying to come over here from Mexico illegally.
So I know a lot of my family members coming out of prison. They don't they're not bad people. They don't even make mistakes. They just had to do what they had to do to to get by. So for sure, that's going to resonate with a lot of a lot of people for sure.
I feel you on that. Thank you, Rob. Since I've known you, you and I talk a lot about wine and your Smollier aspirations. I know it's hard work. I've seen movies on it.
So explain a little bit on what goes on between the different tiers. And also, is there something from the process that translates over to help you in the music business, too?
It's not only is it a personal hobby of mine, you know, I truly enjoy it. The knowledge of, you know, having knowledge of wine and things like that and spirits and stuff like that, especially where I live, where the, you know, the industry out here is mostly
restaurants, you know, clubs, you know, knowing what you're getting into being around these people that are in the business, making money, you know, doing it. And, you know, they come to me for advice.
Everybody comes to me, you know, to talk about it and learn a little bit more about the stuff musically. It's also it's more stuff to rap about. Honestly, man, you know, I like I said, I'm a freestyle artist. I might throw some crazy wine wineries in my mix.
You know what I mean? I might talk about Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir. Oh, I know who you are. I just throw things in there, you know, just to keep the flow going. But yeah, man, I don't think too many people, too many people take it as serious as I do, and we're just fine.
You know what I mean? So I like having that upper hand, that knowledge, so when people start talking about it, and then you can also tell who's full of it and who's not, you know what I mean? You hear somebody acting like, oh, yeah, they start talking about this.
And in my mind, like, man, this man doesn't know what he's talking about. And I think that translates to their personality. After that conversation, you know what I'm saying? Like, this guy's full of it. I got to keep my eye on this dude, you know?
Yes, man, you're very similar with that freestyle aspect. So I damn sure understand exactly what you're talking about. I got one for you though. If you could share a drink, we're gonna we're gonna say beer, but I know that you drink wine.
So we're gonna open it to drink as well with any person living or dead. Who would it be and why?
I'm gonna have to go with Cardi B, man.
Didn't expect that.
If I'm gonna get lit with somebody, I'm gonna get lit with Cardi B. You can take that to the bank. Yeah, me and Cardi B gonna have a party, man.
Cardi gonna have a party with Rod.
Yeah, Cardi gonna party and we're gonna make like three tracks after two. We're gonna be good. Me and Cardi B, I love you, Cardi B. I'm going Cardi all day.
I got you right here. Other than boxing video games that you stream, what's your go-to genre or what's your top three favorite video games of all time?
Yeah, the boxing game is definitely my bread and butter, but I'm an RPG guy, man. I like role-playing games, man. The ones that you just big adventures, you know, finding stuff, buying and selling stuff.
You got a certain game or a certain franchise that you enjoy?
Probably like the Fallout series. Okay. Skyrim, you know, those guys from Bethesda over there. New Vegas, you know, Final Fantasy. Yes.
I was looking for it the whole fucking time, but you named my second favorite. Keep going, my bad. Please say Final Fantasy. Go ahead, keep going, my bad.
I've been a Final Fantasy man since the first one, man. I still got the original tape. First Final Fantasy. I'm a big Final Fantasy fan, I'm gonna say. Bethesda, Fallout, Skyrim, all that stuff.
What's your top three though? Top three? In order.
Your video games too. Name all top three video. And we don't care what genre you name them.
Yeah, it's going to be Fight Night Champion, Final Fantasy 7, Skyrim. Let's go.
AM, I knew Rob had a good mind on him as soon as we got him into Twisted Critics.
All right. So since you are in the group with that question, you are pretty similar AM and I. You, AM and I are similar in that we also enjoy and are influenced by a lot of artists.
I know I've had personal conversations with you where you name this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, this girl, and I don't care if it's Memphis, West Coast or Miami.
So my question for you is, who's your all time top five MCs in order? Your Mount Rushmore.
Oh, no. First and foremost, we go in the late Tupac Shakur, number one, all time. I love you, man. That guy, that guy is in my soul, man.
Like forget about it. Tupac, number one. Number two, I'm going Scarface, baby. I'm going Brad Tony Scarface, number two, for sure.
Number three, the late Pim C. I got to go Pim C, baby. Pim C from UGK. He's my number three.
Number four, man, I'm going to have to go with Wheezy, baby. I'm going with Lil Wayne. I think that guy is next level, elite level.
Number five, a lot of people don't agree with me, but I got to show New York some love.
And I think Rayquan the Chef is the greatest rapper to ever come out of New York.
And he's speaking my Wu-Tang talk right now.
Oh, this list is good. I'm thumbing up and pointing out of the whole time. That's Scarface. That's got I knew you would be happy for the Scarface.
Hey, thank you, baby. That means a lot. Yeah. That's my top five. Rayquan number five. Yes, sir.
So if you weren't raw, just be an unbiased reviewer for a second.
What three artists best describe your musical vibe the best?
I'm going to have to say Devin the Dude. Just because he's independent, he's doing his own thing.
He started in the biz, but he's independent. He does his own shows. He's doing his own thing. He writes his own.
He does everything himself. And he just rap about women. He rap about weed.
And he sticks to the topic and he just kills it, man. And that guy is definitely number one, my vibe.
Number two, Tupac. I'm going to go Devin first and Tupac second on my vibe because it's just his realness.
You know, like what he was trying to do and not too many people understand what he was trying to do is just keep that realness part in the rap game.
Definitely filtering out. He was trying his best to keep it, you know, keep it street, keep it hood, 100% real.
And that's definitely what I'm trying to do with my music, man. I don't, you know, rap about any of that funny stuff, man.
I keep it 100% real into the streets, man. What's going on out here?
Number three, I'm going to have to say Drake because I want to be the best. And that man always puts his best foot forward.
He always puts 100% effort and puts everything into his music.
You saved, Rob, you saved yourself with the answer because I was like, I've heard your music and you sound nothing like that.
Oh, yeah. Our music style is nothing the same, but just his, the way he goes about it and his work ethic.
You know, I'm getting there. You know, I want to be 150% in working hard, pushing forward and just making, you know, making great music, man.
And I think he's a great artist, you know, no matter what anybody says.
So right now, two dates stat wise, what's your most successful song? And then apart from that, what's your personal favorite song that you've made?
That wise, I made a song called Mo Money. Mo Money is featuring a good friend of mine named A1A.
Shout out to Moose, Alan Artola. What's up, baby? He's on the track with me now.
You know, numbers aren't huge, but it was one of the first songs that I ever copyrighted that I've ever, you know, released, you know, through a distributor.
When I'm out in the street, people say, man, that Mo Money song, man, you know, that's a great song.
And I hear that a couple of times a week, you know.
So to me, that means more than the amount of spins or the amount of plays or views or whatever.
But when people come up to me and that song is years old. So when people come up to me today in 2023 and say, yo, that Mo Money song is tight.
It means everything to me. So I'm going to say Mo Money. My favorite song that I've ever made is a song called Let You Tell It.
That one I haven't released yet. That's about to be released, the next project being released. I do got the copyright for it.
I'm waiting for the album artwork to come back and stuff. But Let You Tell It, I say some,
I say some things that I really, really meant from the bottom of my heart on that. And it came out good with the beat.
I made the beat myself and it came out really, really nice. And I performed that.
I performed that song in front of the late Prince Mark E.D. and he loved it too, man.
He gave me so much love after I performed it, got the club at the time jumping.
And that's definitely my favorite one. Whenever that comes on or whenever I get a chance to spit that, man, something comes over me and I let it go.
And that's when it's time. First, tell us something that everyone should expect in your music.
And second, tell us something that people wouldn't know about. One thing about my music, I'm never going to come fake, man.
I'm always going to be 100 percent real. It's going to be real. Ain't going to be no. It's going to be true to the game.
Real code. You know, I'm not messing, messing around with that. I got to keep it right.
Something that people don't know. I feel like I'm just the realest one in the world, man.
Like I'm trying to, you know, I'll never stab anybody in the back. I'll never rob you.
I'll never do anything that's going to make you say, man, you know what? That dude, that dude is just a clown.
You know, like I'm going to come forward. You're going to say that's somebody that I can be proud of.
And I know I can always count on Rob from the mob. That's what's up, man.
We got a lot in common, but something else we have in common other than that, coming with that real stuff.
Like none of my music, I'm going to ever come from the angle where it's the popular appeal of cars, women, clothes, drugs.
I agree with you on that a thousand percent. So another thing that you and I have in common is we're both 40 plus.
We're 40 something something. We ain't no spring chickens. So trying to break into this modern rap market, you know, with our help, with Candice promotion,
with me trying to help you strategize your moves with some collabos, hopefully from AM and I.
Do you see one clear advantage and one clear disadvantage at this age of ours in trying to push your music?
I'll say the disadvantage first is that the more popular, you know, more popular music comes from the younger artists.
I think we can agree on that. The more popular being, you know, the more streamed, you know, the more has a more broader range of listeners.
I think it's more on the forefront. You know, record labels are looking for the youth, you know, I think.
And I think it's great. You know, I love I love all the new music that's come out. Most of it anyway.
You know, like there's a there's a spot for that. That being said, I think that there's a spot for, you know, artists that are a little bit older.
You know, I think we have our own lane that we have that we got to take advantage of.
And, you know, the fact that there's not as many older artists trying to break in, I think, is an advantage, you know, because now they're like, oh, man, look at this guy.
He's 40 plus. Listen to him. He's killing it right now. You know, and I think I think you get a bigger spotlight as an older artist versus, you know, myriad of younger artists.
You know, there's so many of them and many of their styles are the same. And, you know, they got, you know, similar things going on in their music.
I think you can always tell an older artist has got his own thing going on, man. And I think the individuality and the experience and the maturity that comes through the music, I think, is is it quite of an advantage?
So in your bio, you mentioned concerns with the industry direction. What's your biggest issue? And how do you plan on addressing that as an artist?
I have an issue of I don't want to say being selfish. When I say that, I mean, I want to make music with everybody. I want to make a song with you. I want to make a song with my guy over here.
I want to make a collab with this female who I think has an amazing voice. And I think my I don't sit down and say, you know what, I'm just going to do Rob from the mob. You know, I think that's my problem.
You know, I always want to work with I think the fun comes from working with artists, doing things, having that vibe, having those moments in the studio, you know, laughing at the funny, you know, oh my God, what did you just say?
You know, like it's the whole experience for me that, you know, and you I feel like when we record, you capture that those those feelings, you capture those sentiments when I'm by myself.
And, you know, I'm not I'm not going to lie. I'm not having as much fun. You know what I mean? And I need to I think I need to start having more fun making solo, you know, my music, just me going forward, really, you know, putting more effort into
just me. And I have a problem doing that because I'm so into everybody else. I'm so into trying to help and I'm so in a, you know, bringing people in and bringing people together that I forget that about, you know, got to do Rob sometimes.
And I think it's an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time.
I personally understand that answer. And that's something that I've been I'm not doing it down. That knows that knows that it's outside of us here. That is that it's been an issue of mine for a long time because you can be the boat.
Right. And you can definitely have those putting wind to yourselves, but you could also have folks that are going to be anchors in a negative fashion. So that's something that I identify with.
Never ever feel like you're being selfless and being selfish. Right. It's kind of the opposite. The more you're able to do for yourself, the more that you're able to do for others, especially if others aren't doing for you.
But that's in on a shirt.
I have to have to.
Well said.
I look, I'm happy to hear you talk as much as you talk the entire time. I'm over this motherfucker going this ship because I've identified a lot with what you said. And that means people have to have more conversation after this.
Let's let's talk more. I'm down. I'm down to work as much as possible. But professionally in 2023, what are the two three biggest hurdles that you're working on and in your opinion that are holding you back from blowing up? I don't like the term blowing up.
I'll just say being more successful because again what you said about about being independent and things of that nature. We're going to just speak in just just growing biggest hurdles.
Marketing number one.
You know, making making the music and all that. That's, that's the part that I'm good at. I know how to do all of that.
And I'm getting better.
The marketing, I think, is is the part that is the biggest hurdle like hey how do we get this out there. How are we making money off of this. Putting my face more on camera or putting more on screen, you know, more exposure, you know, pushing the music.
Who are we pushing it to, you know, why are we pushing it to them. You know, do they like it. Do they not like it. You know, I think, you know, doing the analytics and, you know, figuring out what's best for the actual music itself because once the you know once the music is out there.
Now it's just, it's not yours anymore. It's everybody's now, you know, when you're in the studio and I'm putting when I'm in the studio and I'm putting it in his mind, you know, I'm doing it. But now I'm saying to myself, okay, what do we do now, you know, we're going to do a show about this only only 20 people listen to this, are we going to do a show for 20.
That's the part that I think is the biggest hurdle for me is and I'm and I'm working on it, learning. I think it's a whole learning process and it wouldn't be fun if we weren't trying to learn at the same time, but yeah, that's definitely the biggest hurdle is just, you know, getting up getting the marketing and see how to really monetize everything with while keeping my, you know, keeping everything that dear to me and true to me real.
I'm going to piggyback off you. I'm going off script on this one by, by am stood up. I'm going to give you a pro of yours that I don't think you even mentioned that I always respect about you and I'm gonna give you a con that I'm always going to be focused on helping you with one thing and candy you can see me when I, as I'm saying this one thing that's a pro to the core with the cat with Rob from the mob is he's definitely not only a general but he's definitely a soldier that knows, and he sees the vision when I'm trying to explain it.
And that's a hard thing to get across to some artists that are, you know, not being humble within themselves. They're all about themselves, where it's like, Hey, this is the vision. I'm trying to line this up for you. I'm trying to line this up for you. We've got the beat bank. Now we got this rolling out. We got a someone that's expert on marketing now.
So we're starting to get all the puzzle pieces and chess pieces and Rob has been one person that has always told me when I call them up. I already see the vision. I know what you're doing. Like I see the pieces on the board before you're moving them. So that's one thing I've already respected about you.
And then the con where I'm always going to be focused to help you with is your procrastination. That's one thing that I'm focused like a motherfucker on to spur you on and get these things completed because you'll start a lot of things. Again, them done is the getting you past the finish line is going to be one of my jobs.
You know, I understand it. Yep, you went you to am but no, that's one.
Me three man. All right, next question, Rob. For your very first new mixtape under him my voice entertainment. Do you have a vision yet speaking of visions, a vision yet of what themes emotions or styles that you want to mess with.
I think it's going to be more than one I think every song, I feel like I make has its own personality has its own life, like in the mix day I might do, I might do a little R&B jam with somebody, or I might do a little bit of singing.
I might do a little hardcore and just rap with no hook I might just do nothing but hook. I feel like once I'm in the moment. It's going to be different every time like there's no cookie cutter way to do it for me.
I can't I can't say you didn't learn me when you said Drake, I can't say you didn't warn me when you said that.
You never know, man, you might give me a you might, I might get an instrumental and be like, man, I'm just gonna have to sing on this. I don't know, you never know. I go by the field I go by the moment.
Somebody might want me to do sing on a hook for him. I'll do that too I might have to sing in Spanish, I might do some reggaeton stuff. I don't have and that's what I like about not being assigned artists, I don't have to follow nobody's rules, I mean they're going to do it the way I want to do it or I'm not going to do it at all.
Would you like to start an assistant artist? I mean, who we sound like?
Fuck rules.
Yeah, Rob, that sounds like I am to the core you guys you guys. We need to turn the bump it and dump it panel to a damn phone call. This would be amazing.
Hey man rapper AM I'm a fan baby. That's all I gotta say.
I'm a fan, though. I'm a fan.
I'm about to start a pot real quick.
So, we're going to collab with the whole fam and a bunch of records,
but if you can only feature one artist, who are you most excited to feature and why?
Man, I'm going rapper AM, baby.
Ayyy, okay.
I'm going rapper AM.
Honestly, your voice, man. I think our voices, you know, kind of like how 8 Ball and MJG, man,
when 8 Ball comes in and boom, MJG comes in and how they style and how their voices just complement each other.
I feel like me and AM could make a killer song, man, that I think everybody will enjoy,
not just from the content, but musically, you know, I think his voice and my voice together on the track would be dope.
I mean, I want to make a song with everybody, but definitely rapper AM for sure.
It's going to be rowdy.
I got big homies in Baltimore. They'll love me on the track with somebody from out there.
You know what I mean?
It's going to be rowdy and wild for sure.
See, when you ready to do that Meth Verchef record with me, that's when you'll say me.
We could be Meth Verchef on that.
Man, taking on Doc J, that's, you know, those are big shoes right there.
We're going to be doing a whole lot.
Doc already know we're moving already.
We're already moving.
My last question is going to be a little deep, but what's the one thing you want everyone to say about you at your funeral?
I want them to say Rob from the Mob is one of the realest dudes I've ever met in my life.
Point blank period.
Put that on the tombstone.
All right. I got the very last question.
We're going to close off the segment of Hot Seat.
Last one, Rob.
In your opinion, what is more meaningful to you, loyalty or respect and why?
Loyalty, 100%.
People could respect you, but there's nothing like people that are loyal to you, man.
Like, I think it's just night and day.
Like, you could be, you know, somebody open the door for you.
That's respect, you know.
But when you go to jail and that person bonds you out, you know, put his house up, you know, his, he put his house up to get you on a bond, you know, because he's loyal to you.
You know, come pick you up whenever you need a ride or they lend you a bet, you know, lend you a thousand, two thousand when you need some money and got you, bro.
You know, loyalty, man.
There's nothing like it.
And I think that's my strong point, man.
I'm a loyal last dude, man.
Like you, my friend, you, my family.
And as long as you don't break that, I'm going to be loyal to you for the rest of your life.
I respect that the hell out of that.
So moving on to segment five, 100% facts.
With this segment each week, we'll start to get into the guts of radio success.
Facts about how artists are performing at radio and what Doc J does for work at media based charts, man.
Number one spot.
OK, let's look and see who performed the best at radio last week and snatch that tippity top chart spot.
Tippity top at Urban National Radio Formats is fuck you mean by gonna with over six thousand six hundred sixty two spins per day last week.
No plaque yet, but it's successfully on its way to a gold certification.
It's currently also peaking at number three on rhythmic club charts as well.
And this is one I was actually wrong about.
And you guys know how rare that I'm wrong on something.
So this is why it's stuck in my head.
So it was shipped on 7623 by YSL Records 300 Entertainment,
debuted at forty six on Urban and forty five on Club and has climbed the last two months co-produced by Dunk Rock and Float.
Chattery cocky club rap single with hollering hi-hats and a bangerish Blair chord effect on the hook.
We're going to genuinely admit he's stressed with fame and just wants to make money.
I wish I had both those problems, man.
As we always do here, my voice entertainment had previously reviewed this record for his label back.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Candy, what do you say? Oh, no, he read it.
It wasn't right. I read it.
I read it. I wasn't going to not read it.
I wasn't going to. You've been goofed.
You've been duped. By the way, by the way, Rob, Rob, for candy and a.m.
I made sure I sprinkled the word all over the slides.
So they're they're going to say it a few times if they're not paying attention.
So with that, this is our first race is our first fuck up.
Unless I mean, we're trying to be twisted critics.
So if anything, we're doing a good job.
So raise your sack lash. Show us what you're drinking on candy.
Candy, lead us in our special salute before we take our salute.
Oh, I got you. So barrio.
Barrio. Central and Palentino. Salute.
Salute. Yeah. Yeah.
I am and candy. I'm going to get both of you alive if you're not paying attention.
Oh, no. All right.
So I said the R word this record for his label back in early July.
Let me just start over.
As we always do here, my voice entertainment previously are worded this record for his
his label back in early July on our Bumpeter Dump the panel.
Only two of us were present that week. It was Robin that ironically, they were both wrong.
But let's see who predicted it closer.
Rob from the mob guessed a 20 out of 30 urban and a 40 out of 50 on club and doc.
The master himself guessed the five out of 15 club in a 10 out of 20, 10 to 20 for urban.
And I'm wrong with both of those. It's number one on urban is number three at club.
I'm wrong twice. Whatever. Whatever.
I guess you can't be right every single time, right?
No, I am.
I percent now.
That's right.
So moving on from that, we got new breaking singles here.
We quickly highlight which new songs are breaking the entry on urban radio charts.
And we have four debuts this past week.
All right. I'm going to start with half of them. I'm going to do the first two.
We have bongos by Cardi B featuring Megan the Stallion shipped to radio on nine six.
Twenty three is debuting at number 33 on urban charts with one thousand one hundred and thirty nine spins per day last week.
Distributed by Atlantic Records produced by We Good, Brian Isaac for the 30s and DJ Swanko.
Also debuting at number forty six on club as well.
The second highest new breaking record we have is We Can't Forget Him.
Bobby Storm. That's that record that samples the the the regulate shipped eight twenty two twenty three.
Debuting at number forty three on urban eight hundred and fifteen spins per day last week.
It distributed by Tribby Records.
She's completely indie, largely tick tock viral with over one hundred and five million views in two weeks.
Ironically, her indie label is trying the mystique marketing method of initially not making the single available on any streaming services
or platforms or even YouTube off the off the jump, which I don't know.
That might be a good idea. That might be a bad idea.
It's probably going to be a combination, but I'm bringing it up the rear.
New breaking singles continue equal dirt by Rilo Rodriguez shipped to radio eight eleven twenty three.
Debuted at number forty four for urban with over six hundred and fifty two spins per day last week.
Distributed by GW Entertainment Capital Records, produced by Rilo himself.
Good job, Rodriguez, Paula, Barbara, G06 Beats, produced by Don Stephs.
All right. You know what? It's a lot of producers.
That's a lot of producers.
I was I was a bit doing this and I was like, what?
You got a room full of people tapping Stephs and KVXI.
And I guarantee that's like seven or whatever. Seven nine Barbie World by Nicki Minaj.
I spice in aqua is the next one is going to be shipped six thirty twenty three debuting act number forty five for urban with over five hundred and ninety seven spins per day last week.
Distributed by Atlantic and Republic slash Capital Records, produced by Riot USA.
That's it. One producer. Well, right.
You USA is a group, but I know it's a group.
I know it's a group. It's not like nine of them, though.
And also debuted at twenty five on Rhythmic Club and thirty eight on top.
That's what's up. So we have all rated.
We have rated all four on the past panels, including you, Rob, starting with Cardi B's bongo.
Let's see if we agree or disagree. Mr.
From the mob. Why don't you lead us and why don't you say what you thought about it?
All right. On bongos, I put I love Cardi B when she gets down and dirty.
She pulls no punches when she refers to female anatomy, a topic I prefer.
Megan D. Stallion is a perfect co-host for this show.
This will heavily influence provocative dancing no matter what the scenario thunderous base, wet sticks, snares and fun breakdowns bring a lot of energy to the table.
Impossible for her not to twerk something to fun, raunchy and almost uncomfortable just the way we like it.
I put I predicted ten to twenty on urban and twenty to thirty on Rhythmic Club.
And what did you rate it with to you gave it a oh, I gave it a I gave it a week.
Well, gotcha. OK, I will follow along with them.
Doc J. A nine fourteen said in fact to her label first collab since WAP is an uptempo percussive Latin spice thumper with raunchy energy produced by committee of We Good,
Brian Isaac for the 30s and DJ Swanko.
It's a loop of the term bongos or bong.
They actually say with high hats and a tricky baseline.
Cardi's Mick is mixed too loud in my opinion.
The steady robotic bonds, bonds, bonds, bonds, bonds gets annoying real fast to me.
Lyrically explicit. They try one up in each other speaking on pussy purses, sex and bad bitch attitude.
Cardi I actually like she started out with funny one liners.
I actually appreciated that part overall, though, mediocre and Megan's forgettable on this record.
I didn't like her feature on it, but fun ad libs, ratchet stripper summer appeal and both are stars.
So it'll chart high likely top 10 on both Urban and Club.
I probably should have did something similar to that.
And I gave it and I gave it a week a week dump, by the way.
You dumped it. Yes.
You dumped it.
What I said was I said the crazy thing is I like to be like Cardi had a lot of energy, but it became monotonous very quick.
There wasn't anything that either of them did to change the pace in either of their verses or change up how they were saying anything.
Even when Megan had the pops, the pop drums, like I don't know if you guys heard that there's a kind of thing which was dope for the beat.
Right. But in terms of her, she literally was still doing that.
The stuff that she usually does over that Megan flowed well and had a really cool personal quote.
I personally think that Megan should have gone first.
It's one of those the only songs that I have it like Cardi on in a while.
And now I see why I see all of the women on my timeline talking about the back shot.
Back shot sounds like bongos.
I never knew what the fuck they were talking about until now.
And now I know I don't think I like Cardi enough on this one.
I did like Megan, which surprises me because I don't like Megan much.
Twenty thirty urban and then I did thirty forty club and I gave it a week bump with a beat.
You're probably going to be wrong with those ratings.
Yeah, no, no.
Seeing yours and seeing Rob's, I think I agree with you guys just because of the fact that who they are.
I used to that's crazy because I used to say that even if I don't like it, the fact that you both are superstars.
Right. Yeah. It's going to go higher.
So I kind of agreed with A.M. just had the opposite reaction.
So I said the beat goes hard. Really makes me move my shoulders.
Cardi B showing why she's the best female in the game.
The theme of the song was weak. I kind of just it didn't resonate with me.
But some verses I can see being used as captions.
Both Sonic clean, but the beat can be a bit overshadowing on some parts compared to their verses.
I didn't really like Megan, honestly.
I think she was a weak feature.
But I think Cardi right now, Cardi is the best female artist.
She. Yeah, she does, bro.
I mean, you could argue Nicki Minaj, but I think it's just her legacy that's keeping her up there.
There is Cardi Cardi over Nicky right now.
Cardi Cardi shows up with a lot of personality, and that's that's the one thing that I always like.
It's charisma and she's fun. Right.
The only thing that attacks it, too, like she she goes out like the last time.
Yeah, I like that.
Bro goes hard, bro. Yeah.
The only knock that I've ever had on Cardi had nothing to do with Cardi.
It was her boring mix that they would do on her vocals.
And they've been adding a lot of backing and effects on it.
I don't know if you've seen it, I haven't said it had anything bad to say about her before this song and maybe two years.
Yeah, I just felt like and I think you pick up on this on other records, too.
I felt like her vocals were mixed way louder than Megan's.
It didn't make any sense to me as just to my ears.
You know, I agree. And I'm surprised I didn't say that.
Gotcha. So second debut in single of the week on the chopping block for us is Bobby Storms.
We can't forget him. Two bumps, one dump.
And I'll start Doc J on nine six said newcomer Bobby has tiptoed both social media
live star and gospel R&B artist for a bit now.
But this is more much, much, much more urban.
Her first national single heavily samples Michael McDonald's Keep Forgetting the same exact way Warren G did on Regulate.
What I do dig about is she lyrically pays homage to both records and actually gives like props to both of them.
And girl can really sang love her belt in her layering, her control.
It's viral right now with one hundred and five million plus tick tock views, understandably for the cool sample.
Well written, well mixed. Her indie labels being slow to ship it to stations and upload, which possibly adds more mystique.
But I'm not sure that will end or it or hurt it.
But while it's viral, I think it's going to do well.
I think it's going to climb to the twenty five to thirty five urban range and forty to fifty club range.
And in my opinion, they should ship it to adult R&B as well.
I give it a weak bump.
I get happy saying that someone else says that certain songs should be shipped to other other charts because I feel that way about a lot of music.
I've stopped saying that. I've stopped saying a lot of things.
But that's one of the things that a lot of time I hear.
And I know me and you go back and forth about about Afro beats with that and how they don't have a home.
But I hear a lot of songs that get shipped to club or whatever R&B is.
I don't even know what the fuck they call R&B, whatever they call R&B.
Adult R&B, adult contemporary R&B is, I guess, the thirty and over crew.
What's the under that? What do they call that? Is that rhythmic?
No, that becomes urban. So like rap and hip hop station.
So it really doesn't have a home just like you and I have had the conversation by Afro beats.
It kind of sucks a little bit. It's the same deal.
Right. And I feel like I've heard me and you had this conversation about Alicia Keys and things of that nature.
She always needs to do both, do both. But just don't leave the adult contemporary out.
If you're making music that's fucking sexy, like like the real sexy, not not my pussy.
I'm talking like like that shit sounds Rob.
Rob, what I am speaking on is Alicia Keys had a three year run of about eight singles that all got shipped just to urban rap and hip hop.
Not not anything else. And one of those nine singles charted.
But I personally. What happened?
It did. Yeah, only only one of those nine actually charted.
And like it was like eight flops, if you want to call it that.
Now, the entire time our panels and not just us, but nationwide, have been saying you're shipping to the wrong station.
Your fan base has grown with you. You're 42 years old.
I'm 41. Like we've grown with her. We're in our 30s and 40s.
So therefore the people are going to that are going to listen to her and support her have moved on to the adult R&B station.
So the minute they did that, she had five singles in a row that charted number one on adult R&B.
And it's like it's that stubbornness that some artists think they're in a different genre when they're not.
So I agree with A.M. on that. Like I like to tell the labels, hey, you're shipping the shit to the wrong station.
I feel the same way about Beyonce sometimes.
I understand why she's she can go to urban because of her beats, but I would never leave myself off of adult.
But what I said in my my review and I literally looked at my bottle as I said that.
Come on, guys. My bad. I apologize. Rob, Rob, pull up, man, brother.
Pull up, man. I'm already look. I'm already inebriated.
That's why I probably didn't care. My shit tastes like water now.
I don't know. I'm about to go get in the trouble on my sons here. Thanks, guys.
Listen, my shit does not taste like water. My shit tastes like rum.
That tastes like raspberry, by the way. Salute to all your boys.
So what I said, it was a very clean sample flip.
It was written very well, survived from the beginning of the beat.
And I'm usually I haven't been happy with samples over the last three years that folks been touching.
But this one did the sample justice. Strong vocals. The hook sounds great.
All in all, the mix was a one. And I like this a lot. I added it to one of my one of my things.
I didn't say it was not going to chart. Damn, I did that backwards.
Thirty forty urban. And then I said it was not going to chart on club week.
But would it be gotcha Rob, you're the third person on the panel that actually rated this one.
So what did you have to say about it? We can't forget him. Bobby Storm.
Now, I am not a huge fan of samples. I cannot stand them. I respect them.
I know there's some great songs out there that use them that we've loved for years.
But I think in twenty twenty three, enough is enough.
I put we got another sample of Michael McDonald's.
I keep forgetting with some pretty Bobby Storm vocals on top because she can sing the girl.
Chill R&B type vibes with decent lyrics.
Zero for originality, though, a cleaner mix than the original version gives it a more modern feel.
I think Warren G milk this cow dry.
So it's hard to think of anything else besides regulate in the original cut.
That's what I put. It has a good sound to it, but that's about it.
I said it was going to do 30 to 40 on urban 20 to 30 on rhythmic club.
And I gave it a week. Don't I'm sorry, man.
I just the samples, man, especially those big ones, man, that we've heard time and time again.
I just can't picture these artists sitting in the studio saying, you know what?
Let's make a song that I keep forgetting.
But I just can't. I just don't get it.
So Rob, where I agree with A.M. on this one, at least a little bit complete piggybacking each other.
Like, I like the writing and the fact that she actually gave props to the Warren G record.
And she even gave props to some of the melodic lines of the Michael Madonna record.
So when you do it right, like give props to the old school people, I have a little bit more respect for it.
But I'm usually in line with you, too.
A lot of these drill records that sample something and don't change it at all.
I'm like zero for originality. You know, yeah, she doesn't get a pass for a show.
Given a shout out, I don't care.
Not I'll drink to that.
Shout out to Warren G. Let's just ruin this song real quick.
I'll drink to that, bro.
All right. So next up, it's going to be a single by Rilo Rodriguez equaled her three of us on the panel.
Three fucking dumps. And I said, it's hard to hear.
I hear a lot of little baby influence.
And when I say that, I mean that he auto tuned the fuck out of his main vocals.
But I literally hear I only know the song from the last part on TikTok.
Who dis foe? Who dis foe?
I was like, ah, the condom thing.
I actually hate that shit.
And it makes me get upset because the song at that point is a phenomenal fucking song.
So I have headphones when I was listening to this and it was still hard to hear any words that he was saying.
I understand that we have accents and things of that nature, but the auto tune on top of accents and the ill pronounced words have me only catching three words per fucking sentence.
It makes me feel old. I actually felt the vibe. I knew what they were going for.
I love the beat, but it's a no for me.
4050 Urban is not sharp, no club. And I gave it a strong fucking duck.
I did not disagree with my brother.
A.M. Doc J said on nine six we sent to the label Rilo's new one is troubled relationship.
Emo melodic future.
As mumble trap.
It was trying to sound too much future and got got penalized for it.
Produced by a big committee of Rilo himself, Paula, Barbara, G.O. six beads produced by Dodge, Steph, Spazzing and KV eight or I don't even know KV nine.
I don't even know.
It's a soulful vocal chop, hi hat, springy bass, midi claps and some nice keyboard work.
I'll give him credit on that.
He tries sounding genuine on it, discussing their issues, them both cheating, even take some blame and happy.
She got an abortion.
What? No way too much reverb auto tune for my taste.
It became inaudible.
Certain parts.
I'm not sure if he's sad or mad or just high music game bad yet the vocal sound quality sucks.
He had decent radio run lately, so it'll chart more than likely.
And I'd but I'd like to hear someone that's actually lyrical on this beat.
Someone like myself for a.m. to rap over this beat.
Yeah, I'd like to hear what you say on this beat.
And but I predicted 30 to 40 on both urban and club.
I think it's going to chart on both, but not very long at all.
I give it a week.
Man, this is equal.
It was one of the worst songs I've heard in a long time.
You know, props to do for doing it.
Even if it's a song I don't like, I always give credit to the artist for getting to the studio and putting the work in and actually making the damn song.
But this one here, I put first of all, I strong dump the hell out of this equal dirt by Rilo Rodriguez.
Rilo Rodriguez sounds like a poor man's little baby.
The mumble rap auto tune is terrible.
The pathetic attempt to mimic future is just as bad.
The 808s are the only thing popping here.
No vibe, no message, no theme, no originality.
I said, I'm not into this at all.
I think it's going to go 30 to 40 on urban because it had a strong, you know, debut position.
But that's it.
And I strong dumped it.
Man, I think that that song is everything that's wrong with music today.
But hey, props for doing it.
Props for getting in the studio and putting in the work just because I don't like it.
Just because I don't like it don't mean it's a bad song.
You know, some people probably love that, but not me.
I thought it was terrible.
I'm glad I'm never going to listen to that song ever again.
Last but not least is Nicki Minaj's Barbie World had four reviewers, three bumps and one dump.
Oopsie. Oh, fuck.
That's another shot. Oh, no.
I missed it. Oh, fuck.
All right, guys. Salud. Rob, you're taking a shot with us, by the way.
Oh, shit.
Oh, Rob, I'm raising my glass to you, brother.
You pulled the record.
Yo, candy. He just pulled it.
Candy. He just pulled a practice practice.
We going we going redemption. Now I got to redeem myself.
We're going redemption. I need I need to hear Rob from the mob intoxicated by the end of this episode.
So so on seven for I said I low key like it.
It makes my head bob for sure. A little too short for my liking, but I do enjoy the song.
I'm digging the new drill style coming out.
I did have a little trouble understanding some of the lyrics through the original song playing over it.
But majority was clear and clean.
So I gave it a 10 to 2 on rhythmic club and I thought I was going to go 30 to 40 on pop.
I gave it a week bump.
Did 10 to 20 on Rhythmic Club? Yeah.
OK, I heard 10 to 2 when he said that I was like, wait, what?
I said what I said. I said what I said.
I am your turn, brother. I'm looking for it. I'm looking for it.
No, it's a me and then you, Rob. So you got a little bit time.
I just like the beating personally. I don't like the drill beats and the vocals on nostalgic songs like this.
It borderlines or borders corny. The hook hits and makes you want to dance.
The song is going to do numbers. You can't help but want to dance to the hook itself.
It's a short replayable song with good quality.
I know it sounds weird that I put all those things together like that, but I don't like it and I don't hate it.
I think it's going to do well because of the ladies, which is what the fuck I should have said earlier.
But I'll give it a week bump because of the intelligence of what they did.
It's smart 10 to 20 for club 30 to 40 to pop. And that's it. It's not going to chart on urban.
I heard that the only reason they did that was because Aqua didn't want their song to be featured on the film.
See, but that makes sense to me. Like, why not?
And in my I almost said it in my rating, I actually explained the bigger problem.
It's not Aqua. Aqua got paid for this candy. So they actually don't they don't care because it's actually debuting at Rhythmics on Club.
I'm sorry. It's actually debuting on Urban. So A.M. got that one wrong for sure.
But all right. So what I said to her label was Barbie's film is due mid July.
And here's a clubby sample drill for a single pair in this year's new it girl I Spice with Barbie persona Nicki Minaj.
The riot USA beat rides heavy on a aquas to 1997 hit Barbie World Loop over a spread of speedy syncopated drill drums and 808s already controversial because the rapper
problem and sweetie are on social media is claiming that Nikki stole the entire idea from Sweetie's IG live of them making the beat.
But they didn't copyright it. Oh, no. Yeah.
So what happened was I think I don't and I don't blame all of it on Nikki. I think riot USA heard them do that made the beat so it's Nikki and copyrighted before Sweetie did anything with it.
So I may not put all the blame on Nikki but damn sure she knew about it. I think we got to put the blame on Sweetie though.
That's the number one thing you always say copyright. Yep. Yep. Well, the thing is I don't think Sweetie and problems finished making the record they played around with a Barbie beat and like oh we should ship this to the Barbie film but they didn't.
You know that was their own bad. Plenty of raunchy Barbie metaphors on partying and being bad bitches. Good energy yet repetitive and bubblegum corny. I agree with AM on this one. This was really corny to me.
Real basic and super short at just under a minute and 50 seconds. These singles are getting shorter guys.
How well Princess Diana did it'll chart and be slower but be slower than expected. I think my guess is 10 to 20 at pop 20 to 30 at club and 35 to 45 urban week dump. I'm the only one that dumped it.
It was nice. I kind of I didn't love it.
Rob have you found it or no. Yeah, I got it. All right. You're next up brother.
All right. Barbie world. You know I love the female artists man. I'm a huge fan. I love them. I'm starting to get sick of all the dudes.
I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan of all those especially I spice. So I bumped it. I put a weak bump on this.
Even though it's a Barbie world song and I wrote I like how they have aqua as a feature artist even though this was her original concept because that was her original track. I put I love I spice for me.
For now I think I spice is the hottest female artists right now. I think so and personal person. So I put she has replaced Cardi B for me at least I put that there.
Nicki Minaj is still one of the greatest. This track is a version of Barbie girl where herbs and I spice I try to be funny there sorry.
A track off the Barbie movie soundtrack which was a pretty cool concept. I've got it one time doing top 10 on rhythmic club 15 to 25 on pop and 40 to 50 on urban I I might have out reached myself and like I said I'm a fan.
I love Nikki. I love I spice and I think you know I put a week bump because I thought it was enjoyable. I thought it was fun. I have a question for a.m. and Rob both actually.
Do you think and this is just my personal opinion when we do these ratings. I'm being very careful my words here because I am a little intoxicated. But do you guys think with the movie coming out in July and this being shipped to radio July 4th and it taking this long to even debut at number 45.
Do you think I mean I even said that in my review it'll do it'll chart but be slower than expected. Do you think that's going to hurt its chance of climbing up. No I think after the movie comes out and things of that nature it's going to metadata metadata.
My words and no matter what the fuck we do on Google Yahoo or whatever we're using for the search engine it's going to pop Barbie up at the top and it might not be the number one search but it'll be it'll be top 10. So I think with that even if we have mistake clicks and people not liking it people talking bad or down on it.
I think they're going to get enough traction for the song to do something.
Okay.
All right. So all right. So candy move on to the next spot then it's time for just the stats. This is where we separate radio from streaming and the men from the boys and a.m. from Doc. Everyone knows.
Doc lies a.m. lies Rob might lie. I'm not too sure. So let's go through the more meaningful stats and an actual movement on the U.S. urban charts. So we got three of the biggest risers this week where number one there I go by Gucci Mane featuring J Cole up five spots from 34 to 29.
It is up thirty seven point six more spins now averaging about one thousand three hundred sixty four spins a day. Number two we got meltdown featuring Travis Scott. Oh my bad. Meltdown by Travis Scott featuring Drake up four spots from 20 to 16.
It is up eighteen point seven more spins now with an average of two thousand five hundred and eighty five spins a day. Man Drake carrying that for sure.
Number three we got endless fashion by little Uzi Vert featuring Nicki Minaj up three spots from twenty three to twenty with twenty two point three percent more spins now with two thousand two hundred sixty more spins a day.
All right. So if candy's got the biggest risers I guess I'm the dooms man this time I'm going to tell the biggest three drops this week. We got number one fight the feeling by Rod Wave it's down nine spots going from 16 to 25 28 percent less spins and it's now down to one thousand six hundred and eighty five spins per day.
Number two is thing for you. Rilo Rodriguez featuring no cap it's down six spots from 31 to 37 seven point seven percent less now one thousand sixty seven spins per day and curious by NLE Choppa featuring that's not correct.
Curious is actually Eric Bellinger and fabulous and someone else by the way.
Oh no I'm happy you're here curious by Eric Bellinger down four spots from 22 to number 26 twenty two point six percent less now one thousand six hundred seventy six seventy three spins per day.
Hey I'm the drunk I am the drunk fuck of the fucking show. I thought it was six p.m. just now guys.
Respect to the Indies this week let me see if my eyes were properly point to me in the rapper featuring Cardi B's up point point me to point me part two.
Look see you see I'm just letting you know let me do it again. Respect to the Indies this week. Point me that's a point to me.
One more time. Respect to the Indies this week. Number one is going to be point me to Bindi the rapper featuring Cardi B up to number 13 with 2774 spins per day which is a four point seven percent increase.
Calibans by Byron Maseya. Fuck his name. Fuck his name. I hate it. Up to 17 with 2273 spins per day one point four percent increase.
From sexy red. Wish I could see my face up to number 21 with two thousand one hundred and ninety nine spins per day. It's a twenty point two percent increase.
Not luck from Malcolm May feature a little baby up to 24 with 1764 spins per day which is a five point nine percent.
I'm dying laughing because I could see your face you're on video. I know I'm going to my. I want to speak on what Doc he brought up Rod Wave they're cooking him on social media. Yeah.
He broke his heart so many times because he's fat. I'll say this though. Yo yo candy what's really funny with that and I think Jessica Bonilla one of our next guest and then the next few episodes will speak on it too.
In the state of Florida like he's that that Fort Myers Tampa area. He just did his birthday party there and he sold out a dam like that shit was like eighty five thousand people and it was packed.
So it's like right now he's hot with a lot of a lot of athletes actually a lot of athletes listening man believe it or not.
A.M. and I butt heads on artists like that Rod Wave and more a because it's like just like what's the state is like fucking give you on with your own ass.
Like I like giving on to the music is derived from from Correios from Mexican shit. You know what I mean. I'm not trying to be offensive. I'm not trying to be offensive. I'll be singing. That's why Rob said that shit earlier right.
My mother fucking mother says I sound like Kendrick Lamar J Cole and then she's like when I heard giving sing it sounded like you I said bitch fuck you.
You remind me of a giddy on but you but you gave me Rod Wave. That's that's what she said. And look that's very fucking true very fucking true.
Give me I keep things moving. We're at the radio RIPs or the way a candy says it the radio rips the radio rips maybe rip it up.
This is the deaths or singles that are actually fell off radio charts the top 50 at least ending on 9 10 23. Here we are given a final farewell to the singles that officially died and fell off the national rotation of commercial radio.
This week we had five condolences to Morn and Barry this week candy. Why don't you kick us off first.
But we got a search and rescue by Drake. It was shipped mid April had a five month run peaked at number five but it had no plaques.
We have chromosomes by heat lock ship late May for one run and it peaked at number 19 with no plaque.
I don't know if you guys saw me clapping I was really happy to see a Drake single die. I know I know I gotta look at my screen clapping for a and putting in that word.
I was clapping for both. But all right. Number three that's falling off the charts is bluffing Gucci Mane featuring little baby.
It was shipped early July two and a half month run it peaked at number 27 and it did not earn a plaque.
So on the more successful part of it we got double back by Coco Jones. It was shipped mid June had a three month run but it peaked at number one and earned a gold plaque.
Interesting fact with that do any of you three watch the reboot of Fresh Prince Bel Air. Yes and I know she's star I know she stars as Hillary.
She's Hillary. Yeah. So she had a conversation with someone at my job about it early on. Coco was fucking beautiful.
She's beautiful and she can sing too. That's the cool thing. Like she's got that almost Mary type of pain.
And she's beautiful. Yeah. She's beautiful. She's fucking beautiful. And what's my brother. I got a go answer from Ali chopper in the L.E. fucking mouth.
Ain't gonna answer from NL each other featuring little Wayne. It was shipped early April five point five month run peak that number one but he didn't get a plaque.
That's crazy. That's ironic that the record where with the exception of bluffing double back was the only one that was three months or or less.
And it's the only one that earned a plaque. All these ones had like five months five and a half months don't earn plaques. That's crazy to me. So are they really successful.
Yeah. They're successful. They're successful because they're popular and you guys know my opinion about popularity versus profit. But that's another whole podcast.
Profit over popularity. What are we talking about. Profit. Yeah we're gonna go with Rob. We all indie. We want profit. We don't care about popularity.
No. This is our segment six edutainment. This is my favorite part of the show where we like to help you listeners and make you listeners that email us actually the stars of a segment.
If you don't know already we have a Facebook fan page www.facebook.com backslash twisted critics close your parentheses if you fancy like that a mailing list that you can subscribe to and a twisted critics business email which is going to be twisted critics at mail.com
Don't confuse it with Gmail Y mail a male female where anyone can send in business questions help. That can I even text people. But this is where we pull two questions make you the star and myself. God will pull you through and guide you through the answers.
Can you. Why don't you do the honors me. Hermano I got stuck literally sitting here saying how the fuck do you say brother in Spain. Let me get my hat ready. I got the questions right here.
And first up we got Sandra Blanding from New York. She says I have my own distribution and my artist I'm pushing named Yellow Zoo who I'm thankful to see royalties for. My question is has a rush has a registration process through media based change.
And where do I access it. Just number two we got die witness a.k.a. Genesis from that is a unique name. Honestly I'm be real to you. I don't got my glasses. I'm a little tipsy. I'm probably mispronouncing it. Yeah I'm winging it right now bro. I'm pulling an AM saying
I be a is that what Virginia. Yes Virginia. He's from Virginia. I just added him on social media two nights ago too which is pretty ironic that you pulled that question. So that's so yes. If you plan to release content under creative common license is it still necessary to copyright the content.
All right. So first of all I'm going to answer these questions with an answer but I'm also pose questions to both Rob and a.m. because they're the two artists in this. So first of all starting with Sarah Blanding from New York. What's up New York where I was born at.
She is she has earned distribution and artist she's pushing Yellow Zoo. She's seen royalties but she wants to know has the process for media based change the process for media based has not changed since 2003.
So unless she hasn't submitted anything for media based encoding in 20 years it definitely hasn't changed. Rob do you know how to submit anything to media based right now because that is my job.
Man I'm going to call Doc J and be like you know Doc J I need to submit something to media base and then we're going to take it from there.
That is what's and that's that's the proper way to do like that's where I have respect for artists that go to conferences and be like I don't know how to do this but I know who to call for it.
So all right. So Sarah to explain this to you very very simple if you do a Google search there's a website called WWW to dot media based dot com.
If you do a Google search for in code to media base it's going to bring you I think it's like the third or fourth link down.
I haven't done the search but it's like the third or fourth link fourth link down for new music notifications.
So you don't register music to media base like you would like a performing rights or you you register your music to be my ASCAP CSEC SOCOM etc.
You register a copyright application form for media base we call we do what's called code encoding.
You find that encoding new music notification form.
I have it open on my screen right now it asks you very simple questions name company phone email exact title from the copyright.
So therefore you got to have a copyright first don't encode it before copyright.
If there's any feature on it the official release date if it has already been illegally released like without a copyright and your ISRC code.
So all that you fill it out and at the very bottom there's a song audio choose file from computer and you upload it from it.
So it's super easy the minute you upload it from it you can only do one song per application form or per encoding.
You upload it with that choose file part and then you hit submit and it takes us 48 to 72 hours.
So two to three days to encode your record to media base.
So we're one of the quicker steps your biggest concern will be you get in that copyright first and you get in your ISRC code.
Once you have those two in hand this is your next step that you should be doing.
So that was a really good question because a lot of people don't know that.
But no the process hasn't changed since 2003 and Candy please refresh my memory because I talked way too much for that one.
What's the second question.
It was if you plan to release content under a Creative Commons license is it still necessary to copyright the content.
All right. So Jai Jai witness from Virginia.
I'm going to go to A.M. on this one. Do you know what Creative Commons license was even created for Mr.
Rabbit A.M. Isn't it.
Isn't it. Wait. So I used to see this all the time.
Is it made for video. It's made for everything.
So it could be for music.
It could be for audio.
It could be for literature. It could be for resources.
So to answer Jai witnesses I want to answer this correctly for him.
We got to give him a slight very brief history lesson.
The website for Creative Commons was created the organization is a nonprofit organization by the way it was created in 2001 and it was for university.
So like when A.M. and I that was the time A.M. and I were in college when we were going to college anything that you're pulling for reports dissertations essays.
That is all considered Creative Commons.
So like when you go to like websites like Wikipedia that even falls under Creative Commons for the longest time for like half a decade they thought that they hated Library of Congress and copyrights because they give out everything that goes to Creative Commons license for free.
So with your question I'm going to answer your first half of the question if you plan to release content under Creative Commons license you don't want to do that.
You want to make money off of your music.
You want to make a living out of this. You want to pay your bills.
If you did release it registered under Creative Commons license you are basically giving licenses for people to use it for free for non monetization.
So college students stuff graphics for photography.
That's all under under Creative Commons license as well.
So therefore the people that use it they get a license that says hey we can put this out for a college paper for you know local underground TV show and we won't get sued if we don't make any money off of it.
The minute they start making money off of it as long as the original creator has a copyright they can enact their copyright rights and say hey you got to pay me an actual license to use this.
So it's kind of a two part question you asked there.
Definitely necessarily necessary to get a copyright if you actually go and I have it open for you the Creative Commons website which is HTTPS colon backslash backslash Creative Commons dot org backslash FAQ backslash.
They actually give you that whole history lesson in long form that I just read to you.
It explains that they're not against copyrights it explains that you need a copyright explains what the term some rights reserved means and that's what Creative Commons was it's a nonprofit org that allows all this content whether it be music photography video lyrics
whatever to go on the line for students primarily to use for the reports and not be charged for it.
But if you are going to go that route, please copyright it before you submit it there and upload it.
Wise words from the doc himself. That's right. I want everyone to make money off of this. This is our business. We have to make living we all got kids we got families we got wives we got bills.
We all need to make a little bit of profit out of this. Salute to that. Salute to that.
Oh boy we at our death part now.
I'm already fucked up. We are now in segment number seven seven degrees of separation. All right.
Just in case we haven't drank enough yet. This is what we're going to fuck this shit all the way up and change that. I got nothing else like I'm doing it all fucking shots.
I'm sending messages to women right now talking about trying to eat that but whole when my son fall asleep. So so and I thought it was 6pm.
All right. So since we are the Twisted Critics and rap AM is definitely a twisted critic right now.
Since we at Twisted Critics have become Spotify curators we use this little game Rob to show and test our music knowledge and memory.
A theory proposed in 1929 and resurrected by the music by the movie industry in the early 90s.
There was a running joke in the industry and a concept that that every actor and actress was somehow related or linked through movie roles or relatives to Kevin Bacon by either six degrees or connections or less.
We are crazy enough especially AM to test the same theory with damn urban music.
So Rob this is where you are curator to you are actually creating this playlist as you speak right now.
So this once this goes live on next Monday you can tell your homeboys your family your friends your girls whatever that you created this playlist with us in exchange.
You got to play this game with us right now. Do me a favor and pull out a drink.
Make sure it's in front of you because we're probably going to take a handful of shots if we ain't our P's and Q's right now.
All right. This is rapid fire seven connections seven rounds 10 second guesses obviously no cheeky cheating and for each mistake that any of us make all of us take shots including the listeners we are connecting songs through collaborations not producers not writers not crews.
Nothing like that. Do you understand this.
So I got to take a shot even if you get it wrong. Yes.
So first of all Rob you understand the rules.
I think I do. Okay. So last episode we left off on thug love by bone thugs and harmony featuring to pop.
Why don't you make the first connection so you can use either bone thugs and harmony or to pop and connect them to another song.
I'm going to go smile.
And that's to pop to pop your scarface. Yeah. Nice.
All right doc you are one of my favorite songs of all time and my two favorite artists of all time. All right. All right. I love our days too. I think I love Scarface as much as Rob I'm going to go keep the Scarface line going on.
I'm going to connect smile with to pocket Scarface with can't be life. Jay Z featuring Scarface and beanie seagull.
Good job.
So Sam what you got for us. That's it. Oh fuck. I fucked up. Okay. Wait.
Who'd you do you did Jay Z and beanie seagull and Scarface. Yeah. And Scarface.
I'm going to do Jay Z Kanye West niggas and parents.
Okay.
You are.
Four, three, two, Jay Z featuring you GK big pimper. That's right.
And it would be on me Jay Z featuring my bad. I thought it was candy's turn. No you're all good. You are good. You are. It's just me. You're not right now. Okay. Okay. Let's go. Okay. So I'm going to connect.
Oh, let's see Jay Z featuring you GK big pimp and I am going to connect Jay Z with Mary J. Blige can't knock the hustle. I love it.
So wait, y'all go ahead. I might make us drink but I'm gonna have I'm gonna have the feature and all of that right and I had the song right I'm going Jay Z freeway and my brain is you know what we do is wrong.
