“My whole persona’s – kind of laid back like a recliner. And since a minor, I been fucking with marijuana.”

“Top floor motel suite, twisting my cigars. Floor model TV, with the VCR.”

Good evening, friends. Welcome to tonight’s episode of Monday Night R*w, where we serve nothing but uncut truth with a side of marijuana. I’m the proprietor of this establishment, Tyrone Monday. The gentleman seated directly in the cut is my brother, CEO. Take your coat off and have a seat. Feel free to light as much satin as you wish and pass it pon de left-hand side accordingly. We promise to do the same.
There’s nothing better than smoking a J to some timeless, obscure 80s R&B. I’m talmbout “Guilty” by Yarbrough & Peoples. Y’all let your nostalgia run wild and keep it going from there. There’s this thing I do on IG. I recall obscure and/or forgotten R&B tracks from 20+ years ago and use all 60 seconds of “Story” to play an audio clip of the song. It’s all about which minute clip of the song you choose. It’s quite strategic. I use the text to tell a story about what the song means to me mixed in with the contextual history of the song. It’s one thing to know a song and to enjoy/love the song. It’s another thing to have been active when the song first hit the airwaves and had its push. That includes hearing it at cookouts, parties, clubs, in car stereos, every damn where. Back then. Back when. I try to provide context on the vibe at the time and how it relates to the enduring legacy of the song. Check me out on IG. I follow back.
I had to block my first cousin on the Gram.  I love that nigga like a brother. I’m not mad at the man. He’s very successful financially. He takes care of his sons. He loves his mother. But he’s lost himself. He’s on some other shit. That’s cool. Do you, my nigga. Your opinions are your opinions. But I’m not trying to argue back and forth with you on social media, my nigga. You’ve got it. You also have my math. But as for IG...super blocked. I know you, my nigga. Ease up, selector.
I can’t lie, y’all. Popeye’s got the chicken wing game in the cobra clutch with that 6-piece garlic parmesan. Make sure they put on extra garlic parmesan sauce (pause if necessary). That sauce and spicy wing mix is the best one, two since Jason Williams and Mike Bibby. I’d steal out your auntie tip jar for the ends on a 6-piece. Crackhead junkie status. I’m low-down and dirty, but I’m not ashamed.
What a fool believes, he sees. The wise man has the power to reason away. What seems -- to be, is always better than nothing, than nothing at all. If love can come, and love can go, then why can’t love return once more? Who’s got the power? So said two wise white men.
I’m on the lookout for my baby Conya Doss. “Stay” is one of my favorite songs of the 2000s. If y’all find her, please let me know. I have some things to tell her. INSTANT UPDATE: I found her, y’all. She dropped a single last September, y’all. And she’s still fine, y’all. Yee!
I was never the one to need motivation from anyone other than myself. Self-motivation is what has fueled me throughout my life’s journey. It all boils down to desire. I want it more. I want it more and I’m going to work harder for it. I’m relentless. It belongs to me. You cannot have it. If you don’t feel that way about it/her, then why are you even making the attempt? Just get out the way. Just get out of my way.
Motivation? Look, nigga. If you don’t feel that way, don’t even worry about it. It’s not meant for you. She’s not meant for you.
My favorite high school basketball player in the class of 2024 is my guy Tahaad Pettiford, senior point guard for Hudson Catholic (Jersey City, NJ). Tahaad is a 2024 McDonald’s All-American and the ESPN 27th ranked player in the class of 2024. He’s the number 2 ranked player in the state of New Jersey and an Auburn signee. I saw him play at Kennedy in Paterson in a high school showcase. He’s the truth.
Make sure you good folk tune into the Hope Somebody’s Recording This podcast. Check it out on YouTube. Those brothers speak on relatable topics and keep it a hunnit. It’ll help you flow through your workday.
You’re on the clock, Cheesy. I’ve stayed away from politics on purpose, but ‘round ‘bout 3.25, I’m on your helmet. Until then, it’s love, peace and hair grease. I’m out through the back door. Catch me on the come-up.
