Ray Danniels

Justin, I'm

going to give Ray Daniels credit because we always shit on him about his takes.

I'm going to give him credit real quick.

Dog.

So she got a different perspective than a lot of us do.

But what are we going to do? We know how desperate they are because they first of all, when you see his rhetoric around AI, you know what all I see when I hear him, when I hear Ray Daniels, old auntie glasses, you know what I see? People that gave up on people.

I see men that are tired of working with people.

They're tired of working with the emotions of men and women.

So AI is the next best thing.

Why? Because it follows directions and it don't talk back.

Ray Daniels said it out loud.

Everybody else just acted accordingly.

So where do you want me to start? By the way, obviously we gotta talk about it.

Yo, [laughs] yo, Charlemagne is like a Roc Nation operative, huh? Yo, so nobody gon' mention that everything that's kinda happening now, Ray Daniels been said, and Charlra gave him donkey of the day? So nobody gon' mention that? He mentioned the Super Bowl, then he's like, "Yeah, probably some Super Bowl..." He mentioned everything.

Hold on, the only thing that ain't come through yet is the announcement of the album.

If this is Poly Market, if this is Kashi, you don't think Jay-Z, like, snake, manipulative, capitalist ass ain't gon' announce something to sell by the time the Super Bowl comes up? Like, come on, bruh.

"Nah, nah, Dear Summer Freestyle" Shut up, nigga.

So I think, just like ...

And I agree with Ray Daniels with this.

Just like I think Jay wouldn't just drop an album, which by the way, remember Ray Daniels said Jay-Z's looking for, like, a corporate sponsor or partner to drop an album? Well, how corporate could you get other than this goddamn fucking announcement? By the way, would it be surprising if at the Super Bowl not only does he drop, he announces an album, he announces some other partnership that is in tune with the album that supposedly didn't exist according to Ray Daniels getting donkey today.

I didn't build it with a producer.

Ray Daniels, do you ever get worried of like fatigue? It's my second nature.

I don't just listen to your music.

I hold the mirror up and ask you what you're hearing.

I'm glad I get all of that shit now.

But now I deserve it.

How many more Ray Daniels

are out there, you think?

Uh, but yeah, we'll see.

The, the, it came after Ray Daniels, a music executive, has claimed that on his podcast that Jay-Z's follow-up to 4:44 was completely done, adding that a source confirmed the record was pending potential brand partnerships, uh, and was not done.

So, uh, but he's got a lot of song, a lot of hit songs, and apparently still, like, sold out Yankee Stadium twice, uh, two months ago.

Took $12 million home for one show in Paris last month.

Like, you know-

That's why you supposed to check Ray Daniels.

Exactly.

Because I'ma tell you why.

Okay? So, uh, about six, seven months ago-

Mm-hmm

... about six, seven months ago, we had my brother, Ray Daniels, you know, shout out to Ray Daniels, you know, music executive, uh, had him on this show, Holding Court podcast.

We did a run in Atlanta.

And like I said, I-

... hating the manager, Ray Daniels, and this is, you know, uh,

And like, I'm not a fan of, uh, Van Hagar, but, uh, I do like Sammy Hagar as a person, and he was always a great interviewer.

And I also loved his book too.

So I saw a really confusing post from Jalen Rose, a guy that I actually admire quite a lot.

And he saw this picture of me and Stephen A. Smith on the flyer with Ray Daniels.

He's in the music industry for the All Black National Convention.

And he basically said something that almost felt like a disparagement to say just a bunch of black people just sitting around talking about what they're going to do in the hood and nobody does anything.
