0:24
of him as my arch nemesis because we
0:26
used to go back and forth at it on the
0:28
show whenever he would come by a little
0:29
friendly competition i guess you would
0:31
say but
0:32
you know i look at him as a good friend
0:33
because he did let me hang out with him
0:34
one night at a club and i was drunk as
0:36
hell
0:36
and he didn't tell me to leave the table
0:38

well hey man we i appreciate y'all
1:20
having me we always had a good time with
1:22
your show man i hated this uh like this
1:24
right now but you know everybody trying
1:26
to keep it real safe
1:27
matter of fact when i hit you up uh sway
1:29
i thought i was in there dog i was like
1:31
yo
1:31
i know you probably listened to my
1:32
message like what yeah man i don't know
1:35
what the hell you were saying d
1:36
right now we was in there until
1:38
yesterday night my sister amy said no
1:40
it's
1:40
it's a phoner and i was like oh good so
1:42
the strippers can sleep longer
1:46
i don't sleep but y'all gotta leave when
1:48
you leave
1:49
like hey y'all we gotta go
1:53
hey man hey your lifestyle we could talk
1:55
about that
1:56
another we'll we could talk about that
1:58
yeah yeah another time man that is an
2:00
already it's already the first thing up
2:01
on google i want my comedy to be back up
2:04
okay yeah what happens when you start
2:06
being known for something that that's
2:08
not necessarily what you want to be
2:09
known for man
2:10
is that is that tragic for you or you
2:13
kind of
2:13
it is when it comes like you're really
2:15
working like especially like snowfall
2:17
and you know that you you know you've
2:19
been pushing for a long time as an actor
2:21
and everything and the first thing
2:22
people ask you about you got two girls
2:24
you know
2:24
and this and that but ultimately man we
2:27
can't control what people
2:28
fall in love with about us it could be
2:30
you know some people hate certain movies
2:32
or hate certain songs or
2:34
uh i had a good friend that was uh he
2:37
was on he was the lead of starship
2:38
troopers
2:39
you know and he hated starship trooper
2:42
he hated
2:42
hearing it and then he just had to go
2:44
re-embrace it like because that's all
2:46
people are known for if people only know
2:47
me for barbershop i got to take it man
2:49
cause you can't make it right
2:50
people remember you for what they
2:51
remember you for which is good and bad
2:53
you know
2:54
because you could say one thing messed
2:55
up i'll uh some of the artists today
2:58
who didn't probably mean what they said
3:00
but
3:01
now it's like you know once they carry
3:03
that thing that's what they know you for
3:04
they only hear your music no more
3:06
and it could become just a just a
3:09
benchmark on your legacy
3:11
yo d ray davis is with us d-ray they
3:13
used to say all news
3:14
all what right have all these little
3:22
because people view it like that and not
3:24
having and we haven't had enough times
3:25
where
3:26
the women in my life this is
3:27
collectively have had an opportunity to
3:29
speak
3:30
on why they felt how they felt why they
3:32
were there so the first thing people say
3:34
is the money the this and that
3:36
and i was a broke dude who had i just
3:38
posted something hey
3:40
can you hear me yeah you go ahead yes
3:42
phone going now
3:44
can you hear that was a throwback to me
3:48
hanging out with a group of girls i had
3:49
six sisters growing up i could play
3:51
double dutch i was always in association
3:53
with that
3:53
before i wanted to play basketball
3:55
wrestle i want to get with i want to get
3:56
on the chili
3:57
team you know what i'm saying i've
3:58
always wanted to surround myself because
3:59
i felt comfortable
4:01
and protected by women
4:04
so they never got a chance to really
4:06
explain themselves a lot of times so i
4:07
feel like
4:08
people just run with what they think i
4:09
never do that they'd be the most it'd be
4:11
the women that just wouldn't be in a
4:12
relationship period
4:15
[Laughter]
4:18
i hate that get out d right
4:21
i wish a man would try i bet you do like
4:23
there's nowhere in the world
4:26
well that'd be
4:29
i do want to jump in real quick d-ray
4:31
what up it's heather how you doing thank
4:33
you for joining us even if it's by phone
4:35
and i know you were talking about
4:36
artists real quick but michael che has
4:38
been trending since this morning i don't
4:40
know if you had the opportunity to see
4:41
what happened
4:42
but this is breaking news he just
4:44
recently deleted
4:45
his instagram and the reason why he just
4:47
deleted his instagram
4:49
because he is face backlash after trying
4:51
to make jokes about simone biles
4:53
um bowing out of the olympics um he had
4:56
a bunch of comments then said that his
4:58
ig got hacked
4:59
and now he just deleted it all together
5:01
do you think comedians uh
5:03
d-ray or if you want to take a deeper
5:05
dive in it y'all are walking that fine
5:06
line too
5:07
with what you say whether people don't
5:09
know if you're being real if you're
5:10
joking what are your thoughts on that
5:12
i think it's beyond um blown out of
5:15
proportion in a lot of cases
5:16
i think simone deserves her time for her
5:19
mental
5:19
health whatever she's going whatever she
5:21
needs whatever people want to perceive
5:23
it as
5:23
i grew up my mama just would slap the
5:25
hell out of us ain't nothing wrong with
5:26
you
5:27
and things were wrong with us you know
5:28
what i'm saying i'm not tripping about
5:30
her doing that at all but when you do
5:31
that
5:32
you do have to open yourself up for the
5:33
jokes why be
5:35
why be a champion just in one light i'm
5:37
a champion joke tell her i'm a champion
5:39
joe giver
5:40
i'm i'm you know i have to be able to
5:41
take accept all of that but comedians
5:43
they already say you're just a comedian
5:45
it shouldn't you know
5:46
everything ain't a joke till when
5:48
because somebody's gonna say something
5:49
eventually
5:50
somebody's gonna put it in a rap line uh
5:52
it depends on how people feeling that
5:54
day like lil wayne's saying
5:55
i'ma beat the like emmett you know i'ma
5:57
beat that and people
5:58
when i first heard it i didn't get
6:00
offended then people brought attention
6:02
to it emmett till was this and that
6:03
emmett till this happened that happened
6:04
then you say
6:05
oh maybe that wasn't a a great line but
6:08
at
6:09
the end of the day we have to talk about
6:10
everything the news has to discuss
6:12
everything you guys are you right now
6:13
sway in the morning your show is is huge
6:16
you have to discuss everything if you
6:18
leave certain [ __ ] out
6:19
then how am i supposed to get to that
6:21
news and it's your choice how to deliver
6:23
it because i'm listening to you
6:25
i'm tuning in we follow michael shay i
6:28
said something about michael yesterday i
6:30
didn't even think was i didn't think was
6:31
a j i didn't even hear about his joke
6:33
they said um this this girl said this is
6:36
the second black show i came to at
6:38
caroline
6:38
and i said who was the other comic and
6:40
she said michael che and i said you said
6:42
black
6:44
i'm not saying he's not a black i'm
6:46
saying the way i came up in the game
6:48
and the dev the hood we probably i don't
6:50
know his age but i i felt
6:52
allowed to say that in a moment because
6:53
i thought it was funny and i like
6:55
michael i think his [ __ ] is funny
6:56
but he can't tell the jokes you're
6:58
telling i'd not be able to say that
6:59
that's what i'm saying like
7:00
the outlet is ridiculous that we have
7:03
all this power and people say you get on
7:04
this platform you fight to get on this
7:06
platform you're raised by certain type
7:07
of people
7:08
and we give no we give more cancel than
7:10
we do council
7:12
end of the day we get more instead of
7:15
being like oh then they gain meaning
7:16
like that
7:17
we do but we do that at home it's a
7:18
doodle or a woman at home being abused
7:20
and they get that they get that
7:22
[ __ ] eight nine chances but
7:24
they hear somebody say something like uh
7:25
i'll cancel him
7:26
i cancel her no no and that's kind of
7:30
relationship together
7:31
as black people it's a relationship you
7:33
know what i'm saying they say we're in
7:34
love we married to each other mentally
7:36
emotionally
7:37
so if that's the case you give chances
7:39
you give slides you give whatever
7:41
and whatever his joke was if it's
7:42
ingenious and it makes her laugh a
7:44
little bit that would have helped her
7:46
she just sat at home
7:47
and laughed about it if he said uh she
7:49
flipping on the couch right now or she
7:50
watching you know how you watch a fight
7:51
you wish you could fight maybe she's
7:52
doing gymnastics in the living room
7:54
like who knows
8:01
who saw everybody that saw people in who
8:04
who never really went through anything
8:06
it's gonna hit harder than him it's
8:08
gonna hurt worse it's gonna the jokes
8:09
ain't gonna hit the way it hit me my mom
8:11
was on crack my
8:12
most of my life so you talk about a
8:13
crackhead mama i'mma laugh about the
8:15
audience
8:18
he messed up he messed up d-ray because
8:20
what happened was he reposted a joke
8:22
about larry nassar
8:24
and that was the doctor that was
8:25
sentenced to prison after being accused
8:27
of sexually abusing 150 women
8:30
um including simone biles she was one of
8:32
the accusers
8:34
and he made this comment and joke i
8:36
guess if you want to call it a joke
8:37
about how
8:38
larry nassar understands simone biles
8:40
better than anyone
8:41
he too had to quit doing what he looked
8:43
like it was messy and so
8:45
it's messy it's messy now and it's
8:47
terrible that he said that and as a
8:49
parent
8:50
who if that was said about my daughter
8:52
i'd be absolutely disgusted
8:54
but as someone sitting around in a
8:57
some dark corner who likes dark jokes
9:00
they're going to say that was funny that
9:03
was fine that d-ray said his
9:04
mama uh sd for crack
9:08
someone somewhere liked my material it
9:10
took me forever to get my
9:12
my place it took me forever to get where
9:14
i'm at because my comedy was such a
9:16
different thing
9:16
and after i did it and it broke i've
9:18
seen all these [ __ ] start talking
9:20
about their mama's on crack her parents
9:21
on crack or this and that
9:22
because i broke the i broke it so i
9:24
don't want to get to know names i don't
9:26
hurt [ __ ] like that but they know who
9:27
they are they know what they watch they
9:28
know what they did
9:29
and it took him to do that whatever he
9:31
did because he also did the joke about
9:33
black lives matter
9:34
that well we all we do is matter and we
9:36
loved it we ate it up
9:38
we put them on another platform we said
9:40
here at night michael che yo special was
9:42
great and then this happens and he like
9:44
wait what happened to y'all liking my
9:46
jokes they
9:46
don't like them this is all of them
9:48
y'all [ __ ] didn't do the research
9:49
before
9:50
we start praising people or saying this
9:52
or not but
9:53
i'll beyond understand about that joke
9:55
in particular because it's like
9:57
it's but it's like what's what's the
9:58
difference between i'm not not saying
10:00
because i
10:01
i was touched when i was young by older
10:03
women thank god
10:04
and i don't i'm not offended by it
10:06
although it did shift me in a certain
10:08
direction i think my life would have
10:09
been a little different
10:10
i'd probably be more compassionate in
10:11
certain instances but when it comes down
10:13
to it
10:14
what about the joe jackson jokes beat
10:16
this [ __ ] out it's a kid getting beat
10:18
right now
10:18
getting that [ __ ] beat on him and abused
10:21
and we like all right
10:22
go joe jackson on him it's funny as [ __ ]
10:24
now go ride the king on them
10:25
still when [ __ ] getting killed
10:27
by the police we're rodney king because
10:29
what there's enough time
10:30
he's not alive you know what joke is
10:33
okay
10:33

10:35

joke are these jokes appropriate at all
14:20
and i feel you on the the black
14:22
community is in a marriage but
14:23
you know you can also get divorced if
14:25
you want to and it made me think of like
14:28
the baby and when comments when it's not
14:30
coming from a comedian can be even more
14:32
controversial because
14:33
we don't know you for being funny you
14:35
don't we don't know you for trolling et
14:37
cetera et cetera
14:39
how do you feel and what advice would
14:40
you do because i talked about this on
14:42
the other day
14:43
and now they couldn't air my interview
14:44
today because i sounded i guess we all
14:46
sounded like we kind of
14:47
wasn't siding with them but we've all
14:49
been on stage and said
14:50
all the ugly people will be quiet and
14:53
there's no one in the audience who
14:54
thinks they're ugly so everybody yelling
14:57
all the women with good sex make some
14:59
noise and no one's gonna say they don't
15:01
if you he could have he he just didn't
15:04
sit before he landed and thought about
15:06
the new words he could have said if your
15:07
outfit is fresh make some noise so we
15:09
went to the old school
15:11
which i remember saying that years ago i
15:14
cannot lie i remember staying on stage
15:16
kind of i don't want to take credit for
15:19
it because i feel [ __ ] up because they
15:20
find the tapes gonna be weird but i kind
15:22
of think i
15:23
that was yeah that was my line man so i
15:26
felt weird
15:27
about it can't lie years ago i would say
15:29
on stage if you if you clean if you
15:30
don't have stds you don't have this and
15:31
that and i
15:32
just do it at the improv i said
15:33
[ __ ] here coughing and clapping
15:35
and i thought it was hilarious and
15:37
didn't think about somebody might be in
15:38
there with some [ __ ] but on the same
15:40
note
15:40
a [ __ ] had been burned a couple of
15:41
times before that too so
15:46
dirty b d-ring oh no burned a couple
15:49
times you know what i'm saying i'm 11 12
15:51
out there wilding so i'm thinking
15:54
i'm thinking i think that
15:57
in performance wise it just didn't match
16:00
it was unnecessary
16:01
because he already got the crowd he
16:03
already wins so that's my only thing
16:05
it just was an illegal uppercut in an
16:07
already won fight
16:09
if that makes sense i think he made a
16:11
statement bringing out tory saying i'm
16:13
an
16:13
artist and i'm about the music and
16:15
innocent to proven guilty type [ __ ]
16:17
and that was enough that was already
16:19
over over the ledge a little bit
16:22
for the way women have fought for so
16:24
long and finally this is if if we had
16:26
a hundred women that write like meg who
16:28
look like meg dance like may move like
16:30
meg
16:31
it wouldn't have been taken as serious
16:32
but there's only a few women who are
16:34
really strong in this rap game and i'm
16:36
speaking
16:37
i don't know i'm talking [ __ ] this way
16:38
because i can rap [ __ ] that's bad
16:42
okay all right for the people that don't
16:45
right now
16:47
i'm sick of it like i'm sick of this
16:48
[ __ ] you see me walking in my [ __ ]
16:50
tastes good and [ __ ] didn't put it like
16:51
it's the same [ __ ]
16:54
ain't no nicki in it because and i want
16:56
to tell people we're not hating on y'all
16:57
we telling you to find your goddamn
16:59
anita baker find your sade find your
17:02
jay-z find your that that voice that's
17:04
your [ __ ] that
17:05
that that voice that [ __ ] your [ __ ]
17:07
shauna get the [ __ ] out of here
17:09
so when we have a queen like megan
17:12
saying that something happened to her we
17:14
all are very she's she's a phenom in the
17:17
moment and we're like oh man
17:19

17:21

17:22
well we don't know what that man's
17:23
business dealings is or what he has
17:25
going on outside of this
17:27

17:28
the baby might have put money down on 80
17:30
people houses and needed that tory verse
17:33

21:06
ray davis who's that caroline hey man i

21:11
from the title alone billboard
21:13

21:15
other day trying to locate and bust the
21:17
rounds right on stage like yo what is
21:19
this the best wreckage you ever played
21:20
me in the club though
21:22
so i was like come on man it ran it back
21:24
four times
21:26
back four times out here
21:29
that's crazy man what y'all think tracy
21:31
you want to go first
21:33
i think that works it's a very catchy
21:36
hook
21:37
i was wondering if it was going to be
21:38
something where d-ray was going to be
21:40
kind of just bringing his comedy to wax
21:42
i didn't know how seriously he was going
21:44
to take it
21:45
and then i was like oh snap nah he is
21:48
rapping for sure
21:49
so i'm a bit impressed yes yeah um what
21:52
are you thinking
21:53
man i love the hook alone i'm just i've
21:57
been here
21:58
vibing i'm like [ __ ] run that back i
22:00
love it
22:01
you did your thing fam hey uh hey homie
22:04
honestly seriously
22:06
i'm on the right side of money i'm
22:07
crafting a great you crap you structured
22:10
a great song and you showed a lot of
22:13
variety in your style from the
22:15
the kind of uh crooning you did yeah
22:17
well the right side
22:20
to getting into those bars a little bit
22:22
but making the bars relatable to the
22:24
subject matter of the song
22:26
you didn't have to coogee wrap this one
22:28
you know yeah
22:30
and you stay right in the pocket man i i
22:32
can honestly see you oh
22:34
you know performing with people like

saint john you know like his audience i

30:13
on this show with jcg and sway in the
30:16
morning
30:17
it was the first time someone took the
30:20
opportunity took the chance to get this
30:21
man exposure
30:22
a lot of times when people see you one
30:24
way they don't take you seriously in
30:26
another way
30:27
and they kind of block they don't even
30:28
realize they're blocking your growth
30:30
and your potential not really i mean
30:33
they serve it as a
30:34
obstacle but you're gonna get around it
30:36
but you know i've been listening to
30:37
music a long time
30:39
and i get a feeling when i hear
30:40
something that i haven't heard before
30:42
or necessarily felt before and i think
30:45
it's the
30:46
uh culmination excuse me super boots is
30:50
the culmination
30:52
of your your hip-hop knowledge your
30:54
history because i really like how you
30:56
struck your songs
30:57
and i really like how you formulate your
30:59
thoughts and you're giving me words that
31:02
aren't
31:02
often used in ways that we don't often
31:05
hear them
31:05
so for me it's stimulating to my mind as
31:08
a purist
31:09
you know i can hear music um
31:12
that sounds like other music it was kind
31:14
of what t-pain was talking about
31:16
a couple weeks yeah man i love that he
31:18
said that i was so
31:19
excited after he said that you have no
31:21
idea dawg i was like it's coming
31:22
give me a second it's coming there you
31:25
go and so i i love the land you walking
31:27

31:29

31:30

31:32

31:34
is this is
31:35
this is big man it's real huge and um i
31:38
don't know what to say that's unexpected
31:39
dog it's unexpected
31:40
but i'm glad we got it in i'm glad you
31:43
i'm glad you told me exactly how you
31:44
felt for real you know
31:45
it would have went the other way i'd
31:47
have still been back at it with the pen
31:49
and the pad
31:50
not texting it to myself not right i'm
31:52
still scribbling now still got the
31:54
still got the erasers dog with the
31:55
pencils and tearing pages out the book
31:58
like
31:58
like i'm writing from prison [ __ ]
32:07
heather you like that tracy what i love
32:09
what i love about what d-ray did
32:11
especially with this song i'm not saying
32:13
that i love one song more than the other
32:15
d-ray but
32:16
with this song you didn't have to take
32:18
that route and you did you know what i
32:20
mean like
32:21
everybody could expect you to be playing
32:23
and partying all the time and don't
32:25
and you would get a pass for that and
32:26
don't necessarily have to have a message
32:28
but the fact that you actually sat down
32:30
to pin that and write that in the
32:32
concept and the metaphors
32:34
like i just i salute you bro for that
32:36
because you don't have to take this
32:37
route
32:38
and it's dope congratulations
32:46
i don't want to be i want to be trapped
32:48
about me not having a label
32:50
it makes it more comfortable by me being
32:52
able to shoot my own video it makes me
32:54
