within 30 minutes?
They got there within 20 minutes.
Oh, that's nice.
And it took them four seconds to break into my car.
Wow.
So I feel really secure.
Also, I got Travis Moore here.
What's up, dude?
You can say hi.
Yo!
Yeah, we can hear him.
He's a very talented drummer.
Oh, yeah, he is.
He is.
Something about drummers.
Something about drummers.
Three drummers in the house.
So you're the drummer, right?
I'm just kidding.
I know he is.
He's over here.
So we have the Vim Dicta.
Okay, so you were telling me that that name was picked by...
It was something else before, right?
Yeah.
And then it became the Vim Dicta.
It was the film noir.
We're still trying to get people to switch over on the likes on the Facebook page.
How old you guys met?
I knew kind of Corey because I dated her best friend's younger sister.
What?
Yeah.
How much younger?
She was a year younger.
Don't worry about it.
She was my age.
Oh.
Yeah, totally.
Okay, nice, nice.
And, you know, I didn't know Corey talked when I first met her because she was so quiet.
Actually, you know, we went to Coachella together.
I didn't even know that we would be in a band two years later and now we are and now we're here.
It's awesome.
Which Coachella?
09.
The one with Paul McCartney as headliner.
Yeah, how was that?
It was awesome.
Really?
I passed out.
Four hours.
I passed out in the middle of the pit.
Oh, man.
We got busted with some weed if you remember.
What, at Coachella?
Yeah, at Coachella.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
What happened to you?
The cops came.
We just closed our eyes.
It was me and Henry.
We were just chilling in one of those things.
We looked up and we opened our eyes and there was like seven cops looking down.
Oh, my.
They were like this big.
Like, under the weed.
We're like, okay.
And they just opened or watered on it.
That's it.
Oh.
They threw it.
Oh.
They talked to us.
Heartbreaking.
Yeah, it was like either you give us your shit or we take you outside and we give you a ticket.
We're like, God.
Or a beat down.
We thought about it.
We were like, can you give me two minutes?
They're like, okay.
And then we just handled the weed.
Got busted.
That's horrible.
Really.
Sometimes you gotta give it up.
And then we had a friend.
He literally drove to LA, come back to LA to pick up some weed and then drove back to Coachella.
Dedicated.
Yeah, he was really.
No, well, he can't live without it.
He was one of those guys like, I have to have it otherwise I just.
Especially at Coachella.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, yeah.
So anyway, so, okay.
So now, I noticed something here that he also booked you.
Jay Gallagher booked you for your Gallagher.
Is that, are you gonna be on Gallagher?
They are going to be on Gallagher, the Vim Dicta.
Nice.
The reason is because that they are so talented.
And by the way, for those of you who don't know what we're talking about, Gallagher is a monthly hip hop show that I throw.
It also features indie bands and producers.
It's at Mal's Bar, 2331 South Hill.
This very month, it's gonna be on January 26th, a Thursday.
And we're actually gonna have Mike Gao and Jay Natural among many others.
But in February, we've got the Vim Dicta.
I met them at Preston Thalandroma's house.
Got it.
Who doesn't know that dude, right?
He's always taking pictures everywhere.
There's no picture you go by like, oh, I've seen this guy before.
Either he's just wearing a hat, or he's just wearing a hat.
He's just wearing a hat.
He's just wearing a hat.
He's just wearing a hat.
He's just wearing a hat.
Or wearing a wig.
One of those two things.
I'd seen his pictures before.
Yeah.
All over Facebook.
Yeah, party pictures.
Party everywhere when you see him.
And you see the pictures like, oh, I wanna go to their parties.
I wanna be right next to Jake Gallagher when he throws parties.
And that's right.
Those are our parties.
Our parties are the ones to go to.
So you're gonna have the Vim Dicta.
Why do you like the Vim Dicta, Jake?
Well, I saw a YouTube video of them playing.
And what I saw was, you know, this fellow waving the axe, I guess you would say.
He was kind of like, he was kind of like dipping it down to the floor like he had been dancing with a lady.
And then I saw this young lady here.
What was his hat, though?
He was at a festival.
Yeah, what show was it?
In Thousand Oaks.
It was a festival in Thousand Oaks.
It was called Open Borders.
This landowner, property owner, leaser dude had like a medical facility that wasn't gonna go under construction for like two months.
So he threw like, a two month long music festival.
They called it in summer.
Really?
Two month long, yeah.
That's awesome.
It was every day.
There was like another actor every day.
I haven't seen that video.
Rayman, Zarek played.
I saw other videos of him.
Oh yeah, it's called the film noir, or the Vim Dicta at Open Borders.
Yeah.
Cool.
It's a pretty good video.
I would let them at my borders.
Are your borders open?
No fence here.
Borders.
Okay, so we have here, we have Jake here.
When I asked for Jake, I was like, I wanna get Jake here in the show because he's a funny guy.
Yeah.
Right?
But he said he's not that funny.
He doesn't wanna be called a comedian.
But yet he's an actor as well.
But you said a comediac, or what was that?
Comediac.
What was the right term for it?
I don't know.
I'm a maniacal person.
A comediac, if you will.
Yeah.
There we go.
No, a comedic actor.
I mean, I act.
I get cast in funny parts.
Right.
And then I act funny for them.
Okay.
But comedians are people that, you know, you put a microphone in front of them, maybe in a radio studio like this.
Yeah.
And then they say funny things.
Right.
And that's just not me.
And you act it.
So.
Yeah.
No, but you know, comedians like standup comedians, I don't do standup comedy.
Yeah, I don't think you do standup comedy.
I have done comedic dancing.
Yeah.
Would you do standup comedy?
Yeah.
I don't think I would do standup comedy.
I don't think I would do standup comedy.
Yeah.
I've done it.
Yeah.
It was amazing.
Yeah.
It was like a dream come true.
So.
And then I started rapping at rap shows instead.
Yeah.
So what's up with the rapping?
Are you planning to rap with them, with the Vimdicta maybe sometime later?
We'd be so down.
You know something like Aerosmith and Run DMC did one time.
You know like, rock this way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Zach?
No.
What's his name?
Weirdo Yankovic?
No, no, no.
The other guy.
Fuck.
I know he's...
How many comedians are there that sing a song?
Richard Cheese?
Millions.
Adam Sandler.
There we go.
He could pick up the guitar and he sings.
Does some comedy.
Yeah.
Well, if you see the guy, you just laugh because he's fucking funny.
You see him, he's a kind of funny dude.
Anybody know him here?
No.
You know, one time...
Adam Sandler?
These people had me rap at their comedy show.
Right.
And so what I did was I freestyled about something comedic.
I had the audience pick a household object and then a country that it was going to.
Right.
And then I freestyled about a toaster going to Ukraine.
And they thought it was funny.
Okay.
Do you have that on YouTube?
Maybe we can watch that shit later.
It's lost forever.
Oh, man.
So if I say...
Can you rap to this?
Maybe you can come up with something later.
Yeah.
I mean, I wouldn't want to get you in trouble, though, by mentioning what you're holding in your hand right now.
No, you wouldn't get me in trouble.
I mean, my mom doesn't listen to this.
My mom does.
Oh, your mom does?
Yeah.
Oh, so you wouldn't get in trouble then.
My parents...
What about this?
What about this?
What about if I hold this?
You can rap to this.
No, dude, I couldn't...
Hit to the future or something like that.
I couldn't reveal what kind of car you own.
I'd be wrong.
What did you say about your mom?
My mom and dad read every one of my tweets.
Oh.
Are they like...
Like, I want to read a good tweet or...
They saw my last rap battle.
I won't send you money.
Something like that.
My dad saw my last rap battle and he was like, son, it wasn't as good as your last one.
What's wrong with you?
Damn.
It's like that, right?
Wow.
That's really nice.
You got to support parents.
I've got another one this Saturday, so I've got another chance to make my parents proud.
Cool.
I've got a battle versus Megadeth for $200.
I think they should be proud already of you, man.
You've done all kinds of things.
I'm proud of them.
Yeah?
Totally.
I'm proud of you, man.
But you know who I'm even prouder of?
The Vimdicta.
Yeah.
It's all about them now.
They've been blowing up really hard lately.
Yeah.
Everybody meets them and they're like, I want to hear this.
Honestly, I saw Travis posting some shows.
Well, you play with Pele Glove and I got Travis here at Piña Tower.
He's sitting there wearing his...
Is that a gun?
Is that a gun you got right there?
No, I leave that at home.
Okay.
Okay.
Anyway, so he...
You guys play with Pele Glove and...
What is the other brand?
Who else play?
The Electra, yeah.
The Electra, yeah.
Very fun show.
That was awesome.
I'm sure I missed out because I like the Electra too.
They're going to come down and play for one of our shows here.
Yeah.
Los Globos soon.
But you guys are playing Los Globos on January 12th, right?
Yeah, 12th.
Come down, please.
It's such a...
I'm excited to play there.
I'm considering doing my whole spiel in Spanish for the occasion.
You want to help in Spanish?
We got Frank LePo right here.
Can I help you?
Well, I did get a D in Spanish too, so...
So maybe.
Hey, Jake, just throw some parties there at Los Globos.
It's a nice party.
You know who I saw there last weekend?
Who?
I saw Adam.
Adam with...
Oh, yeah?
Adam and everything, yeah.
He was outside.
He came down with two girls.
Yeah?
It must have been him.
Yeah.
He was like...
Wait, wait.
It couldn't have been Adam.
If it was Adam, it would be three girls.
That must have been somebody trying to...
I know.
I guess it was cold at night.
He just went out with two.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's going to have a show here too pretty soon.
In this room?
Ham...
Ham...
Ham on Everything podcast, I guess.
Yeah.
They were showing here.
Oh, nice.
That's going to be interesting to see him.
They had a really good show on...
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I saw a few of their shows.
They had a really good radio show for a while going.
Yeah, yeah.
When we were Hipsters Heart Hip Hop, that was a good radio show that we had.
So Hipster...
What's up with that show?
You guys are...
Are you still...
Well, Hipsters Heart Hip Hop transformed into Ham on Everything.
So...
And you were...
You were part of it or...
Oh, I founded it.
Yeah.
Me, him...
Oh, shit.
And Stereotype.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, goody.
Good to have you here, man.
Yeah, we founded that together.
But now it's very swag oriented, so I retired from it.
Hey, so how do you...
Swag is in.
Yeah.
So are you going to be booking more bands?
Like something like the...
Yeah, this month we actually have The Good Intentions, which is an indie band that's kind of like blues oriented.
Have some really good...
It's like seven people in that band.
There's like a good trumpet player, a couple people that are good singers.
The Good Intentions.
I saw them play at Leimert Park Art Walk and Bananas, so I booked them.
Yeah, man.
I got a feeling you're going to have thousands of thousands of likes through this band.
This month.
I think this year is going to...
Because they're going to go blow up, I think.
I don't know.
The Vim Dicta.
It's the year of the likes.
What was that, Travis?
You got one more year left.
Make it count.
Yeah.
Like us on Facebook.
That's all you got, one year.

I could also.
I could also go see them on the 12th of this month at Los Globos.
Yeah.
Who else is playing that night, guys?
Black Elephant, Bikini Thrills, maybe Secret Friends, or I think John Carpenter.
Jerry Carpenter is going to be there.
What about Karen Carpenter?

John's a good guy.
Shout out to John.
Yeah, John.
Yeah.

Pina Taro.
Pina Taro.
You do?
This is Radio Station KEZE.
Hi, this is Greg McAttack.
And we're going to go to the phones right now and find out what's going on.
Hello, who is this?
Yo, what's up?
This is Lorenzo Collins.
Yo, man, where you calling from?
I'm calling from Compton and I want to hear E.E.'s new record.
What's it called, man?
Yo, it's called Radio.
You got it.
You called the right station, and here it is.
So just kick it and listen to the station.
Hello, this is Eazy-E.
What's your name?
Hi, this is Joyce.
I'd like to know if I can have your phone number.
Yes, 976.
Now I want to turn up my box and make much noise and rock the party and shock all the B-boys.
Stick on my radio from phone on to tune up.
I wouldn't have did it later, but sooner.
Now move my antenna to the center and grab a hold of the handle and enter, then bust a rhyme.
You know I won't quit it.
Am I lying, Ren?
Man, you know you with it.
Your request is clear.
That you'll give it.
Without Eazy-E, you wouldn't be living with me on a top ten or a mix show.
So hit the power button and let's go.
On vacation with your station.
Let's glam live in every location.
Blow it out the speaker.
It won't get weaker.
I'll keep rocking till I hit the beat.
Your station is dope.
E-A-Z-Y.
It's on the app.
But you asked why I took out the cursing.
It took rehearsing.
I feel dry.
You know that I'm thirsting.
Took it.
Busy.
I don't quit.
And once you hear my cut, I know you're gonna get it.
Then bust a rhyme.
While you clap me a hand.
It's Eazy-E on the app.
Rocking without a band.
You wanna know why?
Because I'm on the I'm on my money bag.
I'm down here drowning in your bag.
You got me on my knees praying for everything you lack.
I ain't afraid of you.
I'm just a victim of your fear.
You're cowering in your tower.
Praying that I'll disappear.
I got another plan.
One that requires me to stand.
On the stage or in the street.
Don't need no microphone or beat.
And if you have the sound.
And if you ain't there to sing along.
Paying trouble to get from the EW alone.
I got a list of demands.
Written on the palm of my hands.
I'm on my mission.
You are no eyes.
And we live in an.
Sometimes you wanna be somebody.
See somebody.
Try and freeze somebody.
I got a list of demands.
Written on the palm of my hands.
I'm on my mission.
You are no eyes.
And we live in an.
In the mouth.
In the mouth.
I wrote a song for you today.
While I was sitting in my room.
I jumped up on my bed today.
And played it on the broom.
I didn't think that it would be a song that you would hear.
But when I played it in my head.
I made you reappear.
I wrote a video for it.
And I acted out each part.
And then I took your picture out.
And taped it to my heart.
I taped it to my heart.
I taped it to my heart.
And then you pulled away.
From me.
You did my life about.
I got a list of demands.
Written on the palm of my hands.
I'm on my mission.
You are no eyes.
And we live in an.
In the mouth.
You wanna be somebody.
See somebody.
Try and freeze somebody.
I got a list of demands.
Written on the palm of my hands.
I'm on my mission.
You are no eyes.
And we live in an.
In the mouth.
In the mouth.
Ecstasy suffering.

And they die for this.

The pinata hour.
Pinata.
Pinata?
Pinata hour.
You know what?
I noticed that J, I mean, Spanish, we call him J.
They call me hike.
When I lived in Spain, they called me hike.
Well, yeah, J for them, they pronounce like.
Because I spell my name J-A-Y-K, so they call me hike.
But that's not your original.
That's not your original name, right?
No, my original name was Jacob.
Jacob.
Yes.
You don't like Jacob?
Nah, man.
In the sixth grade, I changed it.
Wow.
Looked better on my notebook cover with a Y.
Hey, so when did you decide to start rapping?
How did that come out?
Like, you always liked the hip hop?
A lot of people say it's a decision, but really, I believe it was a genetic thing.
Right, yeah.
You say a couple times, like, I see like.
A lot of people think it's a choice, but it's not.
You were born as a black man, but you're like in a men's white body, something like that?
Yeah, look, I was born rapping, okay?
It wasn't a choice.
I never made a decision.
It just had to happen.
You know, as I entered adolescence, I started to notice that microphones looked good to me.
So I had to rap into them, you know?
Yeah.
Nice.
It wasn't a choice.
But I do have to say that my name is spelled J-A-Y-K-G-A-L-L-A-G-H-E-R, and I would refer any listener to jategallagher.com.
You can see a picture of the person that's talking about themselves.
Hey, Jake, what else do you do besides rapping?
This is like a lot of stuff.
One of the things that I do besides rapping is acting.
Acting.
How is that going for you?
It's going really well.
I've seen your videos, man, and every time I see your videos, I enjoy it.
I was like, I know this guy.
So cool.
You know, I've seen videos of him.
I like my favorite is the one you do this thing in front of the police department, and that's like takes a lot of balls to do that shit.
Oh, you mean when I took a visa?
I took a DVD player, and then I stood in front of the police department, and I yelled, I stole this DVD player.
Right.
And then whenever a cop would run by, I would yell that, and then I would tuck it under my arm and run.
Yeah.
And the whole point was that they didn't chase me.
Right.
The idea was that white people get away with everything.
No, you know what it is?
When I was watching it.
That's a fact.
You know what?
I was watching it, and it's like, because nobody called.
Yeah.
And maybe this.
I should try it.
I'm going to try it.
See what happens.
Don't do it, Frank.
I need a DJ.
I need you to videotape me.
I need a DJ.
Give me a beat down.
I need a DJ here on Wednesday, so you can't do that.
Let's try it.
They're going to take you in, man.
You might get deported.
Videotape it.
I went to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, and I got people to throw saltines on the ground, and then jump up and down on them and yell, I hate crackers.
I hate crackers.
Oh.
That was.
That's crazy.
That was funny.
That's fucking sweet, man.
It's a good video.
You just YouTube Jake Gallagher crackers.
Hey, so what's up with the bone?
Hey, what's up with the bone on your finger?
It's a coyote knuckle.
It's a coyote knuckle?
I wear a knuckle of a coyote.
Is that a real bone?
It's a real coyote knuckle.
Have you guys seen that?
Yeah.
But you shape it like a ball.
It looks like a human bone.
I didn't shape it.
It came out of a coyote's hand.
Coyote got hands on it?
It's my totem animal.
Coyote is a trickster, so it's my totem animal.
How long you have this?
Can I touch it?
Yeah, dude.
Whoa, this is pretty cool.
He's touching the bone on my ring right now, for those of you who can't see what we're doing here.
Look, Corey.
I'm touching his bone.
All right.
That's enough of that.
That's enough.
That's enough touching.
Lysander de Vega.
Okay, anyway, so Jay Gallagher.
You also were in...
JayGallagher.com.
Yeah, JayGallagher.com was in a very really popular movie for a bit in it.
Showgirls.
No, man.
No, no, no.
Come on.
Quit lying.
You were in...
The Social Network, right?
Yes, I was in The Social Network.
Yeah.
How was that, dude?
How was that experience being in the theater?
It was great.
Did it keep you like...
For that little part, did it keep you like, what, two, three days or a week or...?
No, no, no.
I was on set for like...
Yeah, it was in and out.
I was on set for like just a few hours, you know?
I was...
And, you know, David Fincher just came in and he was like, hey, do this, do that.
And then he left, you know?
That was it.
That was it?
But it was huge, you know?
It was a...
It was a great blessing to be directed by Mr. Fincher himself.
Well, you were part of not just a movie, but, you know, it changed social, I guess...
You know, it was the biggest trailer I've ever had, the trailer that they put me in.
It was huge.
Do you think being in there, it opened a little bit of doors for you, like in the acting or doing, you know...
I don't know.
I really don't know.
Travis checking his head is like, nah.
I spent a year running around yelling, I was in The Social.
I was in The Social Network.
I was in The Social Network.
And all the casting directors were like, yeah, cool.
Great.
So were we, they said.
But, you know, my main, like, my main thing acting-wise is I've been in, like, over 35 commercials, like national commercials.
So that's really what allows me to relax in my 91 Chrysler New Yorker.
When I Google your name comes out, on the IMDB or IMB, whatever they call it.
It's like, it keeps tracks of your...
Internet Movie Database.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, there's pictures of me and stuff.
But the best place is jakegallagher.com.
Yes.
The best place to look at J-A-Y-K.
The Vim Digg are going to play it at one of your shows, right?
Yeah, they're going to play at Gallagher.
Gallagher 2331.
I'm saying, wait, wait, wait.
Miles Bar.
Let's space out all this promoting stuff.
Why don't we play one of my songs and we'll tell you more promoting type stuff later.
There's only so much more I can give.
All right, do we have that?
I want to listen.
I'm excited.
All right, so are we ready?
I just want to say what the song is.
It's called Dead Leaves, and it's made out of the White Stripes song, Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground.
And we're only playing it because Travis Moore is in the studio with us right now.
Yes.
And he wants to play live drums on it.
And he came down to live...
Oh, he's going to play drums on it?
Wow.
All right.
Yeah, he wants to play live drums on it at Gallagher on January 26th at 2331 South Hill.
Oh, shit, I got to see that.
Miles Bar.
But let's listen to Dead Leaves.
It's one of my first songs in this new batch of releases from like a year and a half ago.
Nice.
Yeah.
All right, let's go ahead and do it.
Give me a loud beat Something to drown me out Please sound speak Over and out Something you're proud to read Tweet you on the ground Beat you So when these clouds stream Fear and fear You're going to get your proud beat Be the panther Not the rabbit Get to pouncing Last year I was down On the couch we were slouching While I worry about she Going on without me Frowning And the truth I know You got to wonder what this dude is for Made myself another X-Cell We don't take it a pleasant thing A man ain't a spectator Should be of integrity Standing the light Or the person next to me Cast no shadow Ask me Tell me that I matter If you want to find pieces Came to L.A.
hungry Now we are what the feast is Jesus Current state of rap Most MCs Saying nothing I'm afraid of saying that When I'm trying to say something Keep dumping my trash in your car I'm still dumping some of that trash in my heart So afraid of the work and success I blame a skirt and a dress So my issues of shame and self-worth are addressed Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know he's not around Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know he's not around Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know he's not around Dead leaves in the dirty ground Dead leaves in the dirty ground Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know you're not around Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know you're not around I do this to you Although it might be futile Even as I write this The mic is intended to funeral All the likeness and the doodle Of the last two stanzas Everything I say is that what's true And invalid I say I'm whole without a relation Yet my performance is for you Imagine your validation Audiences never find this shit entertaining While I'm parading, raining And changing the station But I spit shit that leave you thinking Like it's my opinion It's egotistical to have an opinion And if you think what you love delivering Qualifies as wisdom I'm the one rapping And I already stopped listening Too many musicians Write songs about lamenting Shut the hell up and heaven Your own identity Stop obsessing Wait, why am I so righteous?
If I moved on Why would I even write this?
Bottom line is If I had so much truth to report Why the fuck would this verse be so godlike?
I think sure Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know you're not around Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know you're not, not around Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know you're not around Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know you're not, not around Dead leaves in the dirty ground When I know you're not, not around Dead leaves in the dirty ground Dead bees in the dirty ground When I know you're not around Dead bees in the dirty ground When I know you're not around Nine, ten seconds.
Yeah, there's two in there.
What, ten seconds already?
Wow, that's the best ten seconds ever.
Damn.
Yeah, it was a lot.
I wish...
That was a ten second...
Okay, all right.
I wish I put more of those high 80s falsettos on some of my other rap songs.
I'm going...
I'm going...
It's like Rollercoaster of Love, pretty much.
Yo, Jake, I'm going to get off here and then you're going to sit here where I'm at.
What are you...
Okay.
It's a chair.
You're not going to sit on top of anything.
It's just going to be a chair.
What he was saying is that we're about to swap chairs.
Yes, yes.
Not stool, chairs.
All right, so what do we have next?
We're going to play another song here and it's going to be...
So number three?
If that's what you wish.
Yes.
That's what you wish?
I wish, yeah.
Okay.
I wish a lot of things, but one of them right here.
Well, this is the one...
We're going to play track number three.
I wanted to save the second one.
So we're going to go with...
Which one do you want to go with?
Champagne.
Let's go with Champagne then.
That's the live one.
That's the instrumental live.
You want to do it?
Are you ready?
Sure.
All right, let's do it.
Let's do it.
So this is Jack Gallagher.
JackGallagher.com.
Yeah, by the way, these songs that you're hearing are downloadable at jakegallagher.bandcamp.com, which is a subsidiary of jakegallagher.com.
And that's J-A-Y-K-G-A-L-L-A-G-H-E-R.
And we have a caller on the air real quick.
Hello?
Hello?
Yeah, what's up?
Who's this?
Is this David from Colorado?
Yeah, how's it going?
What's up, David?
How you doing, man?
Good.
Hey.
How you doing?
All right.
You calling Pinhata?
We got Jake Gallagher right now with us.
Oh, yeah.
How's Jake?
Can you hold off for one second?
I'm going to put it on speakerphone real quick.
Cool, cool.
Go ahead.
Do your thing, man.
We wait.
Speakerphone.
Hello?
Yes, we're back.
Hello?
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey, how's it going, Jake?
Very well, sir.
You're from Colorado, I see.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for contacting us this evening.
What you been up to, brother?
Just, you know, the regular Jake Gallagher type stuff.
Rapping, acting, hanging out, partying, holiday-ing.
What you been up to?
Just cooling out, cooling out.
I saw some footage of you over at the Broken Complex Battles.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, wow.
Cool.
How did you feel about said footage?
I thought you were pretty good.
Pretty good, man.
Gigi Hoppa dropped a lot of dope beats.
Thanks very much.
And, yeah.
Hoppa definitely does a good job.
Yeah, that basement freestyle battle, that last one that they posted on the Broken Complex website went really well.
Definitely.
What's that?
I wanted to just touch bases on you with something.
How do you feel about Tumex?
How do I feel about Tumex?
Yeah.
I'm a big supporter of Tumex.
That's why I'm going to actually play at his show on Friday night.
Oh, that's what's up over at the...
At the...
Mid-City Medical Center at Pico and La Brea.
My phone's dead right now.
I think it might be 5067 and a half Olympic, but my phone's dead right now.
But definitely, you can go on Facebook.
You can search for Tumex.
His show is called N-Hale.
E-N-H-A-L-E.
Okay.
That's where I'm going to be at.
I've been trying to get my rap game on, and I've just been wondering if you've ever been shorted by a promoter.
Me?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Me, I have never been shorted by a promoter.
No?
Has anybody in the team been shorted by a promoter before?
Yeah.
Anybody what?
Oh, yeah, dude.
I've been shorted by a promoter so much.
Yeah?
Mostly when I was younger, when I was first starting out in my first band.
But, you know, like, I'd have a show where the headlining band would draw less than we did, but they'd pay the headlining band more than we did.
It was fucked up.
But, I mean, you'll go through that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaking of Tumex, I actually had Tumex play at Galaga, which, you know, the page for Galaga is at facebook.com slash Galaga 2331.
That's G-A-L-A-G-A 2331.
But I had Tumex play at Galaga, and he was the headliner.
And, you know, he's a real pillar of this community that we're part of.
So, you know, I paid him real good.
Word.
That's good to hear, Jake.
This is actually Minus.
How's it going, Lissander?
Hello?
Who's this?
Minus.
Remember?
Oh, yeah.
You should.
In Tumex, $700 about a month and a half ago on tour.
Oh, yeah.
I remember you guys.
Yeah.
I've been trying to get a hold of you, man.
I don't know if you changed your number or what, dude.
No, no.
I didn't change my number.
Actually, I disconnected it.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I changed it.
How's it going, Jake?
This is Minus, man.
Hello, what?
This is Minus, Jake.
How's it going?
It's going pretty good.
I think he actually doesn't even have a phone now, right?
Yeah, I don't have a phone.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
Well, check it out.
I'm going to be in L.A.
in a couple of weeks.
In a couple of weeks, man.
We should probably meet up.
Maybe you can get us the rest of those $700.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got it, dude.
I will.
Cool, cool.
Yeah, I just want to give a big shout-out to Pinyat Tower.
A big shout-out to Jake Gallagher.
No problem.
Yeah, I've been trying to get a hold of you, man, on Facebook and all that good stuff.
For those of you that...
We've been trying to have a lot of fun on the show, but getting paid $300 instead of getting paid $1,000 kind of hurts a little bit, you know?
Yeah, I know.
Well, you know, when you bring only one person to the show, it's like it's not going to pay off.
But if...
If something's set in stone, if we agree to a number, you know what I'm saying?
Like, I think it should definitely be honored.
How do you feel about that, Jake?
Yeah, I feel like if I make a guarantee, I have to follow through with it, even if it makes me lose money.
Exactly right.
That's part of the hip-hop game.
That's what keeps the game going, right?
Absolutely.
When I make a commitment, I stick to it.
Speaking of not sticking to a commitment, I've got a battle with Megadeth this Saturday at the Basement 818 at Ventura and Van Nuys, and Megadeth agreed to battle me about six times.
He was in backed out of it each time, and now he's finally facing up.
This is a guy who's gone back on his word over and over again.
I plan to make him pay for said tactics.
Exactly.
Hey, Jake, I really...
Jake, see, that's why I like you, Jake, because I like your attitude.
You know, because said tactics, you've got to make people pay for them.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you've got to follow through with your promises.
It's part of being a man, part of the rap game.
It's what makes the music industry good or bad, you know?
That's right.
You've got to follow...
Follow through with your word.
Absolutely.
Yeah, you're very right, dude.
Exactly.
So you guys having a good time out there tonight, huh?
Oh, hell yeah, dude.
We're having a good time.
We can't...
What's the weather like out there?
I'm over here in New Mexico right now, man.
It's kind of chilly.
What was it today?
80?
No, it was pretty warm.
It was fucking nice today, man.
I walked outside.
It was like...
That's pretty nice, man.
Hey, what are you doing over there?
What are you doing over there?
Oh, in New Mexico?
Yeah.
I'm just out here cooling out, man.
Doing a couple of shows.
And hanging with a couple of homies.
I actually overheard my boy Sabo who prints up on my t-shirts.
Yeah, and I'll be headed back to L.A.
to link up with Hoppa and record the third album, Everything's A-OK.
So yeah.
Yeah, it should be a fun time.
Yeah, Minus is a really talented rapper.
I saw him live last month for the first time, and he puts on a really good live show.
Him and Tumex went on a pretty extensive tour recently.
Yeah, we did about four or five shows.
Yeah, four or five weeks.
And we'll be dropping the album, I think, in April or May.
Going back on tour for another six weeks.
Another four weeks in March.
And then hopefully a two-week European tour that they're trying to get me for right now.
Hey, also, I have a...
Can you hear me?
Yeah.
Yeah, I can hear you, brother.
No, no, I'm talking to Edgar here.
What's up, Edgar?
Just being stoned.
I got my friend here, Edgar.
He's gonna...
He has a printing shop.
You wanna tell us all about it?
What's the name of your shop, anyways?
Esoteric.
Esoteric?
The one I got out here.
Oh, cool.
And where can they reach you if they want anything?
I'm on Facebook.
You're on Facebook?
You can talk closer to the mic.
I'm on Facebook.
Yeah?
That's about it.
That's about it.
Yeah.
What's your Facebook, dude?
Yeah, what's your Facebook?
Esoteric printing.
Esoteric printing.
Yeah.
You make t-shirts or what?
Yeah.
I mean, it's all kinds of stuff, right?
Yeah, whatever you want.
All right, cool.
I actually...
I'm gonna throw a quick promotion out there.
I got a new t-shirt that says, if you hate gay people, you're a faggot.
Yeah, I saw that on your profile picture today, man.
You wanna print it?
We'll print it.
Check that out, dude.
That's a funny t-shirt.
That's crazy.
Are you gonna...
Do you have your style ready to...
Yeah.
Yeah.
You wanna go ahead?
Yeah.
I'm gonna do...
This is champagne, right?
I'm gonna rap one of my tracks live.
Thanks for calling in, Minus.
I appreciate it, dude.
Thanks, Minus.
For sure.
Thanks, Minus.
Hey, for sure.
Everybody have a good, safe night.
And I'll be listening to The Joints right now and listening to it live.
And yeah, shout out to Pinata Hour.
And hopefully...
Yeah.
You still got your Facebook with Sanders?
Yeah, man.
I'll pay him Monopoly money, but we're gonna have Jake Gallagher right now.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, because I don't know if he friended me or whatnot, but...
Yeah, Monopoly money coming down to you right now.
Hip hop.
All right, man.
Much respect, sir.
Hey, so this is my track, Champagne.
It's made out of Death Cab for Cutie.
Believe it or not.
Is his vocals all right?
I figured it out what this is about.
It was tinge with doubt.
Tried to rig it around.
Envisioned a crowd.
Got it down to the sound.
Yeah, is the vocals okay?
Figured it out what this is about.
It was tinge with doubt.
Tried to rig it around.
Envisioned a crowd.
Got it down to the sound.
But it's still a little bit of disinimine now.
Switched with you all, but I split from my mouse Providing a soft for it.
A force of nature.
Straight up.
People not hard to see.
You behind the force.
We drink a beer.
Thoughts erased.
A pause.
Applause replaces rock.
I say, fill in our minds before we get lost in the jaws of Jake the Awkward Ring.
Filling up our bladder while we getting more swagger.
Don't forward it faster than after it dragged into marriage.
Just bop my hat to Gallagher and has it not to stagger.
Just wrap my hands around the fabric of a back a little faster.
Think I'm drunk enough to drive you home now.
Think I'm drunk enough to drive you home now.
At last to the home when the coldness ain't gone.
It's back on.
I've had a chat with a dog and she prattles on on the phone with Yvonne.
Go back to cigar, take a trash so it's dark to my laps and move on till she actually yawns at a casualty walk past Pat and Yvonne.
She's passing the fog of a nap like a stone.
Then I won't have to be so elaborately slow.
Or fabricate love until actions are beat.
She's magically passed by low.
The implacable foe of the fact that I don't really want to be married is true.
I'd rather go back to the past than before and be smacking and slapping an ass on the floor.
Her ass would come over and laugh at the mats in the back of my bathroom and mold.
Now it's passionless flow.
Just the act that could hold matrimonial tones like they're having to hold.
They laugh at my jokes so these fat little crones would be ratted to bone and my thang misses solely.
I've had it with all of that crap and that pack can be gone but I'd have to just stop on my tracks with that stock cause I'd rather get dogged than a sabbatin boy.
Back to a lull in the passage and hearts with the packs and the girls would happily blow me in bathrooms right after my choice.
It's tragic.
Who is this?
Who is we?
What is this?
My ego and Jake's words just shifted.
What is this?
Drinking champagne.
Drinking champagne from a paper cup is never quite the same.
From a paper cup is never quite the same.
Now let's go back for a moment to Jake Gallagher's poignant point of view.
You may have noticed post-modern Lee Jake is switching apparatus to a moment he's stating his greatness faithfully.
Next he's explaining his straight-related relationship painfully.
And neither I nor he nor the nation seems to be cogitating who makes him speak.
He could be stating my thinking with stunning sound correctness but due to the quality of PA systems at underground venues it'd prevent this from penetrating deep within my brain.
But if he'd deign to speak his vanity straining speed as an acapella only then would it remain clear that I played the lead in this novella.
Whatever.
So I just focus on champagne at those celebrations we pour within days that we open to praise with a corn to your face take a go over the grapes and you throw it away take a moment to say the important occasion of all which you drank and hope to one day raise a toast for the lady you know them to taste you know this is spoken as Jake but also as they who done motivated those born on the page but now both of us wait for Paloma that's great who not only over in April plus totally patiently educated goal orientated with faith not closing the ways which she opened devoted to rolling with grace and while the chosen chosen folk in this case got a broadie embrace we both know that the shape of us older than made is still in the folds of our fate might get forced to just stay with us spoken for day while she broken and paid and said that normally joyful moment will seem more like a wake we old enough to know we ain't going away but we join and get claimed but we know as we say drinking champagne from a paper cup is never the same and I think I'm drunk enough that I can drive you insane think I'm drunk enough to drive you home now think I'm drunk enough to drive you home think I can drive you insane Because being with you makes me want to be drunk.
Jake Gallagher, Gallagher 2331.
Pinata Hour.
Believe it or not, that's made out of Death Cab for Cutie.
Nice.
Wow.
Yeah.
Are they still together?
They are still together.
I saw them live in San Diego a couple weeks ago for my birthday.
Nice.
Thank you, Victoria.
Did anybody know what the band called Hello, My Name is Red?
Anybody out here knows?
HMNR.
I've heard of them.
Oh, yeah?
I have a question for Jake, though.
They broke up, man.
They broke up.
Why are you not doing this and making him a part of the band?
First of all, for that performance.
And the second one is, I saw this YouTube video a week or two ago, and the title was Jake Gallagher destroys.
Who was it?
I think you might have made this guy wet his pants or something.
Probably tech.
Was that the video you showed us?
I think you made him wet his diapers on that one because I saw some, it was like all I saw was this, just kept, I kept saying, I kept seeing headlines of Jake Gallagher destroys Tech or Jake Gallagher fucking rules Tech or like, there was like six different YouTube videos of this.
Yeah, I was at the Broken Complex Battles.
Minus was talking about that.
Minus was there.
It was a freestyle tournament and the first round of the tournament, I basically just went insane on this kid and he was like an angry, he was an angry youth, Hispanic.
A youth?
A youth?
A youth?
A youth?
A youth?
A youth?
A youth?
A youth?
that that necessarily adds or detracts from the story, but probably 17 years of age.
Well, what do you have to say?
Don't say it.
Well, because he was screaming at me in Spanish.
So he was a very angry young man, right?
And he was fully expected to win.
And unfortunately, he was torn asunder.
You can watch Jake Gallagher versus Tech.
It's T-E-K.
Go to YouTube.
J-A-Y-K-G-A-L-L-A-G-H-E-R.
By the way, you can just go to jakegallagher.com as well.
But during my whole second round against the guy, he was talking.
He was like, I'm going to fuck you up.
I'm going to take you out in the parking lot.
I'm going to fuck you up.
I was like rapping at him about how his ears look like a Mickey Mouse hat.
And he was like.
But you probably hurt his feelings, man.
Oh, yeah.
He's a 17-year-old kid.
What can you expect?
You know what?
That's one question I had about that.
It's like, were you ever being afraid of walking out of one of those clubs and getting shot?
Or getting stabbed?
There has to be some code against that shit, right?
Or do something to your car?
Yeah.
Well.
Did you ever?
Because I've seen your videos.
That would be silly.
I know it would be silly.
That would be fucking silly.
I know.
That would be like.
If there was like an after hostile battle.
But in this game, you know, you're going to come across some crazy heads.
Yeah.
I don't.
Well, I mean, on one hand, I carry a large knife.
But I also carry a large faith in God.
Oh.
All right.
All right.
I go for that.
I go for the knife.
I go for the knife.
Yeah.
I go for the knife.
Really.
And then I also travel with large scary men.
You know.
Knives.
With knives, et cetera.
With knives, bitch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Rambo knife.
Galakal.com.
All right.
Crazy.
Crazy shelf.
The studio is full of knives right now.
What?
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
You guys got to see this.
It's a 10 inch.
Talking about 10 inch.
No machetes.
So the Vim Dicta is going to release the 10 inch.
It's going to be released soon.
So we got to keep on looking.
We're recording on Monday and then it'll be out.
When is it going to be out, do you think?
Well, in all reality, maybe late February to maybe early March.
But definitely by May.
Definitely.
Got it.
Corey Ledge.
We're excited.
We're actually looking for an artist if there are any artists listening to us.
We like the Mars Voltas artwork a lot.
That's really surrealist and creepy.
That's chocolate.
Chocolate.
Chocolate.
Mexican chocolate design.
That shit.
I really want to.
That guy has been around.
I'm surprised they picked him to do all his albums.
Yeah.
Well, they also picked a guy named Storm Thorgison who did Zeppelin, who did fucking Pink Floyd.
Yeah.
Like everybody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the other guys.
Yeah.
I'm rooting for the other guys.
Oh, yeah.
No, no, no.
Totally.
I know.
No.
Well, you know, I don't know.
Have you, Jake?
Yes.
Do you know the Mars Volta?
Have you ever heard of them?
I've heard of them.
Okay.
But anyway, the artwork, it's awesome.
I hear it's kind of trippy.
It's psychedelic as a muffle beach.
Yeah.
It's really interesting.
It's like you want to look at it for a little bit.
Well, I do enjoy psychedelic iconography.
Frank, can you translate that for me?
I don't know.
He loves psychedelics.
Psychedelics.
Muchas gracias.
Muchas gracias.
There you go.
So, Piñata always knows just about...
About music and bullshit, but it's also education.
Educación.
Yeah.
We show you your trends and your roots.
Vamos a hacer el resto del show en español.
Okay. ¿Por qué no, cabrón?
Oh, dude.
One time I was battling at the airliner, and this guy rapped a verse in Spanish at me to try to show that I wasn't street.
Oh, how was that?
He was basically saying that I wasn't street by rapping in Spanish, and then my whole verse back at him was in Spanish.
And the crowd went insane.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
I don't remember any of it.
I was like so angry.
You know what it is, too.
It's just judging a book by its cover.
Yeah.
When they see you, they'd be like...
This is a radio show.
You can't tell how nerdy I look.
Yeah.
IT guy.
No, I post pictures of you, so people know.
Yeah.
So...
That's good.
They know how nerdy I look.
They got to know.
Because the juxtaposition is half and half.
I don't think you're a nerd.
I don't think you're a nerd.
No, nothing about that.
No.
No.
No.
No.
It's the look right now.
It's the look right now.
That's right.
I'm the hippest person you've ever met.
I don't think you're a hipster.
I actually stopped being a hipster on New Year's.
How do you do that?
How do you stop being a hipster, bro, before you just stop?
I looked around me and I said, I am no longer a hipster.
That's what I said.
But I sure do dress like one.
Just speaking of battles at the basement, 818, which is run by Nat.
Nat, who runs the basement 818, she recently got robbed of all the money for that store.
They broke into her car and took all her money.
And the basement 818 is like, it's a graffiti store and all sorts of other stuff like art and hip hop store.
And they support the community.
They put on a lot of shows there.
You can get them on Twitter at 8basement.
You go at basement818 underscore.
Sorry.
It's at basement underscore 818.
It's at Ventura and Van Nuys.
It's a really good store.
And I would definitely donate a little bit to them.
Save them, you know, because it's terrible, you know.
This show is going to be podcast later on so people can hear it.
Yeah, support basement 818, man, for sure.
All right, let's do that.
Let's also support Piñata Hour.

Can I get your beard cut?
No, I'm going to let it go.
I'm letting it grow because I want to see if I can, like, I don't know, intimidate more people.
It's like a year.
Yeah.
A little, a little.
It'll be just like, oh, my God.
I'm going to let it go.
If it's this long right here, I'm going to become a prophet.
I want to be a prophet.
Like a part-time prophet for a little bit.
I'm going to be a prophet.
Like, who's going to be it next year?
You know?
A prophet.
Like a guru or something like that.
But part-time, though.
Does anybody ever, like, you know, treat you differently when you have a beard or not?
Do you ever notice the difference in the way people treat you?
A lot of respect.
A lot of respect and fear.
I could imagine.
That is really weird.
Does it take them a second to process the beard?
Do you see that in their faces?
Well, you know, they ask me, like, where you from?
And I'm like, I'm from Koreatown.
Jay looks at me like, not really.
I am Afghani.
All right, so we got the Vim Dicta.
I want to thank you guys for coming down to the Pina Tower.
I want to thank you for having us, man.

We'd love to be back here.
Yeah, you guys can come back here and, you know, we welcome you with open legs.
I mean, arms.
You guys can come back here.
I want to thank Edgar for, if you guys want to get your shirts, your jeans, your tight jeans print on them.
Something like that on the side.
What did it go to?
Esoteric printing.
Can you get closer to the mics there?
Esoteric printing.
Nice.
And we got, I want to thank Frank Lupo for coming down.
And also Jay Gallagher.
Hey, are you closing the show right now?
No.
No, we're not.
We're not going to close until we play your tune.
Oh, thank God.
Got you there.
I've been having so much fun.
I didn't want to be kicked out in the rain.
No, no, no.
I just want to take before I forget.
Like a cake in the rain.
No, no.
A cake in the rain.
I've never seen a cake in the rain.
Only on a Sunday.
That's a great song.
All right.
So we're going to have, what are we going to play now?
Oh, we're going to play a good one.
And by the way, all the songs that you just heard are available to download at jakegallagher.bandcamp.com.
J-A-Y-K.
Nice.
Gallagher.
This next song is pretty deep, bro.
Oh, shit.
This is called Corporation Choose Me.
It's about how I want a corporation to choose me to represent it.
Because you notice that everyone that is rich, et cetera, has been chosen by a corporation to be the face of them.
For example, the Verizon guy, the guy that says, can you hear me now?
He's on every billboard, but he's not allowed to act in anything else for the rest of his life.
But he has $16 million right now in his bank account.
He has a check coming through every month, right?
But he has $16 million.
I did the math earlier, man.
Because a corporation chose him, right?
Hey, Verizon, if you're listening to this show, please call me.
I need to choose him.
I will settle for five grand.
I will.
You know, even music artists, music artists that are extremely successful, they've been chosen by a corporation like Atlantic or Island or whatever.
That person has to choose them and say, I want to make this person the face of my company.
Wow.
Right?
That's a lot of responsibility.
Yeah.
So every person that's really successful music-wise has been chosen by a corporation to represent them in a way.
So this song is me basically saying, fuck it.
Come and get it, corporation.
Come and get it.
How about you welcome us.
Enslave me.
I'm here.
I'm ready.
We moved to Los Angeles for a reason.
Come and get it.
This section is brought to you by Miller Highlight.
Woo!

Put me on your dollar bill, cause I holla ill.
Put me on your dollar bill, cause I holla ill.
Sunrise over L.A., at it again, never end.
Y'all are lucky that you started as kids.
You can feel the fame retreating as the hairline is receding.
The moment silence is dying to retrieve a funny feeling.
Keep repeating, corporation own me.
Put me as the face of public price, coldly.
You ain't gotta force me to make the endorsement.
Just show me the dotted line and the torches invested in the betterment.
I'ma go to the expense of the lonely.
I'll do the red baron just so I can be a parent.
The merit to be an establishment parent is apparent.
So let me have it, corporation, my stacks of mats that take a stab at it.
Ha!
Put me on your trapper keeper, cause I am a rapping beast.
Put me on your lunchbox, cause I got the fun talks.
Put me on your cool zone.
I'ma go to the Los Angeles underground.
Show me where the hipsters at.
Low end bass jam.
Give a ear a blister crack.
Don't ask where the kick is when you're sure as hell can feel it.
Gimme, gimme money, money.

Tell me I'm the next to blow.
Let my friends put more roaches down than pest control.
Pushing for the backdrop ever since the rap start.
Can't get my stack on till I sell a Pop-Tart.
Tell you that I got guns?
Nah, I ain't got guns.
Sold them for a cold one.
Sold them for some homespun.
Sold them cause I'm already dead where my soul was.
Used to be MTV, now internet scenery.
But fuck sayin' dumb shit.
Open mic, eagle me.
Shout out to the red hat, alpha on the greenery.
Kill it with the home pro, live it on the beat machine.
Moved into the city where the ocean eats the wheat.
Took a couple hot bars, spoke them in the street.
Now tell me where the money is, focus isn't cheap.
There's so many of us with flow that just kill.
But corporation artists ain't chosen for scale.
Forty years old at the peak of the game.
Since Reagan was named.
Trickle down, yank they chain.
Young kids on the cutting edge.
Goes to they fuckin' head.
Corporation chose them.
Ain't nobody understand.
Now they not at the top of they craft.
But they popular rap.
Seemin' like they overnight.
Though they might have put they soul and life into flowin' tight.
Though they ain't rocked the phone and mic for more than life.
Four or five dorky guys.
Now they signed and rep online events.
Signin' shit for tiny kids.
YouTube viral quick.
These kids is succeedin' the question that imposing is.
Would they be where they is if not a corporation?
Not a corporation chose them.
