A conversation about which rappers would make for the best friends and other important questions.

ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:00 PM

Hi, I'm Eric and that's Jeff
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:01 PM

and we're the hip-hop sketch comedians, ItsTheReal and today we're gonna be talking about rappers as BFFs...
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:01 PM

Well, Tawking™.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:01 PM

though after binge watching the first 4+ seasons of Breaking Bad this weekend, I
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:01 PM

I'm not totally sure what "best friends" are anymore
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:02 PM

Well, let's just say that BFFs are the people you cook meth with/stab in the back/forgive/stab in the back/cook meth with/murder for/murder with/cook meth with.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:02 PM

That seems like as good a definition as any, right?
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:02 PM

THEN ALL RAPPERS
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:02 PM

(Because rappers do what they say in their rhymes)
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:04 PM

Yes. Raps are #factsonly. Alright, so let's actually Tawk™ instead of jabbering on. Who do you think would be a good BFF rapper for you to have? I personally think that Memphis Bleek is a great friend, probably.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:05 PM

Well, Bleek is contractually obligated to be a great friend. He's loyal, he knows his place, and he's not afraid to not advance his career, so that Jay can flourish.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:05 PM

Let's find the BEST best friend
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:06 PM

so let's go through some options
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:06 PM

Alright. Well, then 50 Cent is out.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:06 PM

Shoot.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:06 PM

See, I feel like 50 is a really great friend, but all of his friends are terrible friends
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:07 PM

I dunno. I think Lloyd Banks would be a good friend, someone who has your back in a fight (although is content to go away when you want him to be quiet and sit on Long Island by himself)
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:07 PM

It's not like 50 was a good friend to Fat Joe and then stabbed him in the back
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:07 PM

it's not like he was at Ja Rule's house for Sunday dinner
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:07 PM

Right, but that's because 50 Cent is the terrible friend!
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:08 PM

Nah, I think 50 had a run of bad luck in picking friends, which doesn't make him a bad friend at all
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:08 PM

THESE ARE NOT HIS FRIENDS.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:09 PM

I wonder if 50 has actually allowed himself to make friends.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:09 PM

I wanna set 50 up on a playdate
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:09 PM

I bet it's just him and like, Hobbes.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:09 PM

Lloyd Banks is 50's Hobbes.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:10 PM

Well, obviously 50's not the best Best Friend
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:10 PM

But how about Kanye
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:10 PM

Here's why I think he is:
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:10 PM

I can't even imagine...
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:11 PM

1. Kanye looked out for Fonzworth Bentley when he was just an umbrella holder
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:11 PM

No. Kanye made his friend hold an umbrella.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:11 PM

That is different.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:11 PM

2. Kanye got Consequence a new set of teeth
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:12 PM

Jeff, Bentley held Diddy's umbrella
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:12 PM

Oh right.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:12 PM

My mistake. Although I can imagine Fonzworth Bentley laying down in a puddle for Kanye to step over him.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:13 PM

What I'm saying is, Fonzworth Bentley is washed.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:13 PM

Ha ha ha
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:13 PM

ALWAYS WASHED
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:13 PM

I think Kanye wants to help his friends
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:13 PM

and he isn't afraid to make new ones
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:13 PM

Uh oh, I know where this is going..
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:14 PM

You know, some people (DRAKE) are afraid to make friends. #nonewfriends
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:14 PM

But that's because he doesn't want to get hurt.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:14 PM

True
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:14 PM

All of his friends leave and end up as back tattoos.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

Jeff...
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

Sorry.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

Best. Friends. FOREVER
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

And what are forever?
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

YES.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

Tattoos
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

"tattoos and regret"
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

right
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

You're right, you're right.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

Tattoos are still wrong, though.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

agreed
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

#jews
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:15 PM

for Jews
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:16 PM

right
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:16 PM

HA
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:16 PM

Okay, so so far, the BEST BFFs:
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:16 PM

We haven't gotten anywhere.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:16 PM

Kanye > 50 > Drake
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:16 PM

right?
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:16 PM

I'd say Drake > Kanye > 50
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:16 PM

...just because Drake doesn't want any new friends doesn't mean he's a bad friend.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:17 PM

That's fair
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:17 PM

You're taking #nonewfriends personally, maybe?
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:17 PM

I don't wanna Tawk about that.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:17 PM

Sorry.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:18 PM

Let's do a lightning round
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:18 PM

I'm here.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:18 PM

This lightning round is taking FOR-EV-VER.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:19 PM

You've been dealing crystal meth on the side, and you're about to be caught by your brother in law, who is in the DEA...
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:19 PM

ERIC, YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:19 PM

which of these rappers would you call to help
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:19 PM

Okay.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:19 PM

Shoot.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:19 PM

so you tell me whether they're BFFs or not
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:19 PM

okay
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:19 PM

Andre 3000
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:19 PM

No. He'd only show up once every few years.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:20 PM

Pusha T
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:20 PM

Hm. Maybe.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:20 PM

I have no idea why, hahaha.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:20 PM

Ca$h Out
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:20 PM

God, yes.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:21 PM

That dude's just happy to be around, I think.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:21 PM

He's just happy to be anywhere.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:21 PM

Juicy J
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:21 PM

No. Too old.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:21 PM

Also, he's a really bad friend
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:21 PM

don't you think?
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:21 PM

Well, before I answer, you answer.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:22 PM

He ditched DJ Paul
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:22 PM

He ditched like 3 other members of Three 6
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:22 PM

Here's why I don't want to be around Juicy J: because I'd hate to be responsible for a 40-year-old 18-year-old.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:22 PM

Also, if I've learned anything from Breaking Bad (I really have been binge watching, by the way), it's that YOU CAN'T TRUST A DRUG ADDICT)
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:23 PM

Imagine Juicy J's hijinks as he's ditching his dorm room friends off at the hospital parking lot.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:23 PM

Right

“Ja Rule is a really great friend... once in college he held my hair while I puked, right after my girlfriend broke up with me... I dont know if I would have made it through without Ja Rule!”

JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:23 PM

YOU SAY NO TO HOSPITAL PROTOCOL, JUICY J DOES TOO
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:23 PM

I bet Ja Rule is a GREAT friend.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:24 PM

Although this begs the question: was Trey Williams in jail?
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:24 PM

Hey people, I just figured out how to show your comments on our board, so please join in!
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:24 PM

(Trey, you field that one.)
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:24 PM

Did you read the Complex interview with Ja?
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:24 PM

after he got out of jail?
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:25 PM

I did, I was about to ask you. I thought he came off as very mature and forgiving. Like an adult? Which is so weird to see from rappers, no?
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:25 PM

Totally
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:25 PM

I feel like he'd have a lot of good stories to tell
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:26 PM

I'm not sure if he'd like the same movies as me
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:26 PM

Yes. Although that just makes him sound like our personal FDR.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:26 PM

Cause I don't like any of the movies he's been in
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:26 PM

Fast and Furious?!
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:26 PM

COME ON, ERIC
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:26 PM

Get some taste.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:26 PM

I'm trying to think whether Ja would be a good friend for me
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:26 PM

I think he would be. If you get cold, he wraps you in a durag.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:27 PM

actually...
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:27 PM

Looking for him in a crowd? 'HOLLLAAAAAAA'
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:27 PM

he'd be a good friend to bring to karaoke
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:27 PM

YES.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:27 PM

OKAY, LET'S CHANGE THIS UP...

JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:28 PM

Absolutely.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:28 PM

What song do you think he'd do?
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:28 PM

I feel like Luda would perform...
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:28 PM

Lionel Richie
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:29 PM

I'm not sure if he's BFF material though
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:29 PM

Good call. I was going to say Barry White.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:29 PM

I feel like he's been withdrawn over the past couple of years
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:30 PM

Luda? Yea, I mean, ever since "Crash" and that "Runaway" record, when he was like I NEED TO BE SERIOUS, I NEED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:30 PM

I feel like it's been this sad road where he lost himself. And I don't know that I'd be the one to help him find his way back.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:30 PM

I guess what I'm saying is, I'd be a bad friend to (or for?) Luda
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:30 PM

Rick Ross would be a great friend to bring to Karaoke
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:31 PM

in fact, I wanna sell a show where we bring rappers to karaoke
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:31 PM

I think they did that, didn't they? On TBS?
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:31 PM

“I think Busta would make a good friend. but that opinion is based on nothing really.”

JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:31 PM

And it got canceled like halfway through the episode.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:32 PM

Okay, so we met Busta once. And someone said it best when they said, "Busta is very good at making you feel like you're the only person in the world."
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:32 PM

And while I'm not saying talking to Busta is like listening to a Rihanna song...
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:32 PM

ha
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:32 PM

I am saying, Busta is fun to talk to.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:32 PM

Eric Rosenthal · 4:33 PM

1. Hanging out, thinking of what to do
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:33 PM

1. Yes. Just look at his old videos, that guy's full of ideas.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:33 PM

I bet we could do putt-putt golf together in giant sumo suits.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:33 PM

2. Going to the driving range
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:34 PM

2. Do you think he can swing his arms like that?

TMZ TAWKS™
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:37 PM

but what did she do the entire time?
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:38 PM

...she scrolled through her emoji and stayed with her head down and ignored us and French.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:38 PM

I'm not sure how to feel about Ms. Trina as a Best Friend Forever
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:38 PM

Maybe she's just a hard get?
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:38 PM

Like, once you're in, YOU'RE IN.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:38 PM

I mean, she can be a friend
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:38 PM

But a BEST friend?
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:38 PM

True. Those are steep stairs to climb.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:39 PM

She's like the friend who comes along for the road trip but doesn't chip in for gas
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:39 PM

Eric, we have 20 minutes left to find a best friend.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:39 PM

I appreciate you, Trina, don't get me wrong

Maybe that's just my wish list, though.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:42 PM

ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:42 PM

I feel like Ross would be great at golf and karaoke and talking about important life matters
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:42 PM

You forgot Busta in there.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:43 PM

Busta was ruled out
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:43 PM

If Busta can't swing a golf club, there's no way Ross can.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:43 PM

no, Ross is like the Charles Barkley of the crew
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:43 PM

Busta's got a mayonnaise jar for a head, but he's in far better shape than Ross.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:43 PM

also, have you seen the video of Ross playing basketball?
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:43 PM

on his home court
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:43 PM

here's the thing
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:55 PM

is Kendrick a better friend to rap or to rappers?
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:55 PM

The former. But that's because he says that - while we're all friends - these guys are all his competition.
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:55 PM

And so it's like, reality TV rules.

JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:57 PM

I'd call TI since he's already been there. Regardless of what it is, he's already been there.
ER

ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:57 PM

I'm not so sure TI is a great friend
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:57 PM

No.
ER

Eric Rosenthal · 4:58 PM

I think TI is kinda selfish
JR

Jeff Rosenthal · 4:58 PM

But he's a good guy to call for advice in a pinch.
