but I knew when I saw that title curated playlist by Nas, I'm like, "Okay, he coming out this weekend."

But you know what? I was really happy about on night two when Eminem came out.

And people try to create this narrative online that Eminem isn't one of the best or biggest rappers of all time.

You be, you don't be, uh, showing some of them?

No.

No, no, absolutely not.

But yeah, I'm a music journalist.

Um, I was a, also a MTV VJ.

It was not fun.

The first two nights were okay, but last night was nuts.

And it was crowded.

It was sweaty.

It was hot.

And there was no food.

It was just champagne.

the concert yes, so okay, what was your favorite night I

If those reports are true, how do you feel about that decision?

I love it.

I absolutely love it, man.

I didn't want him going to Golden State.

That would've been just such a stupid move, man.

That's Karl Malone going to the Lakers.

Nobody wants to see LeBron James in a Golden State Warriors uniform.

... did they not soften this over, whether it was an Olympics or a wedding? Wasn't there a wedding?

So that's why I wanna hear from your perspective, what does J30 mean to you?

Man, it means that music is timeless, man, because I remember listening to this.

I was young at the time, but I saw all the older people listening to it, and I wanted to catch that vibe.

Yes.

So then I started listening to it, writing the lyrics, catching things, rewinding, and I'm like, "Okay"I got it now

[laughs]

So I went and grabbed a suit and, uh, threw on a T-shirt and, uh, jumped out and, and, and rolled with him out there, and it was super dope, man.

Everybody was there.

Like, every picture...

I'm gonna send you a bunch of pictures [laughs] from that night, Josh, 'cause every picture I'm doing this, mouth wide open, pause, eyes wide open, you can see the white around my pupils, 'cause everybody's there.

Like, Snoop's there, and, and Draya, and Kevin Hart.

And, and at this particular moment, um, I'm just there with Chris, so wherever Chris was at, I was able to go.

I know he is, I know he is.

We don't bullshit today.

Keep this applause going for the best crew in the world.

Mic check, mic check, mic check.

Mic, mic, mic, mic, mic, mic.

[audience cheering] I got a hard out.

I'm out of here.

[audience cheering] [upbeat music] [singing] It's Parks.

Yo, man, hopefully y'all have enjoyed this broadcast as much as we've enjoyed delivering it to you

Yeah.

I, I don't think it's, I don't think it's that.

I mean, that's a theory, and you could be possibly right.

But I just think that Drake, like I said, he's trying to reestablish dominance.

Like, before he alluded to being the best, the GOAT talk.

Now he's saying, "I'm the best", and who is the best considered? J- Jay-Z.

Mm-hmm.

Remember in our interview that we did, um, a couple years ago, I asked him about, you know, the shots at you and Jay saying, and he said it's never crossed a line because there's a mutual respect between both of them.

Parks!

You ice and fresh.

Ooh.

I had everything.

I'm not opposed to that shit now.

Little Zema on a late night.

I get there early

because I'm coming from Queens, and he records in Jersey.

So I'm trying to beat traffic.

I want to be there as early as possible.

But, you know, Mona, who's also on the show.

Hey, Mona.

Shout out to Mona.

i like that well i just want to say be that you have a lot of people coming at you right now yeah they do how does that feel it's a different type of environment

I think I d- I thought I did, but I wanna make sure.

Because oftentimes, um, especially who you are, you stand on the side of women's rights.

I d- just, that's for lack of a better term.

[laughs]

I feel like I gotta go change a tire or do something masculine.

Yo, Mike Will is incredible.

The song that I really like on there-

Yeah.

[laughs]

... is T.I., Young Dro, and Killer Mike.

That was a good record.

If you forgot Young Dro could rap, here's a reminder for you.

Where's the

[laughs] Go ahead and do your little snarky, smug shit you say.

Nah, there was a lot of music that came out.

I think the most prominent release was Jack Harlow's, uh, album, Monica, and, uh, I didn't know what I was getting myself into.

I, I-

I hate it.

Drama's profitable these days, right? So if you can make a buck off of some misinformation, people are gonna do it.

And with the AI, it's hard to distinguish what's real from what's fake.

That's not musicality, even though it sounds good.

My biggest thing with classic, I mean, I think the definition of classic is something that is, uh, above anything that's happening in its time period with a component of, [smacks lips] uh, longevity, I think is, is the definition of classic.

So somewhere in that-

But now that you can get a shot of Hennessy and a quesadilla, like, it's, your odds of staying up if the movie's that great.

That was the plan.

As, as a parent, like, my daughter, um...

I want you to meet her.

She's downstairs.

Yes, sir.

You niggas feel it.

ASAP, ASAP, ASAP, ASAP, ASAP.

A-S-A-P, ASAP, ASAP, ASAP, ASAP.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Music always wins.

History has shown that, you know.

Is that true?

Nope.

No, it's not true at all.

It's not true at all.

The first day is hell.

The second day is a bit of, oh, I can do this.

But today has been a Emma effort.

Why weren't you
