But she hired.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Eleven women to come out and braid here at Angela
Ye Day. So everybody was getting their hair braided, getting
ready to go back to school. And the reason she
did that was because she said, last year there were
a lot of people, there wasn't just enough time for
people to get their hair braided. So this year she
brought all these people on deck to work so that
it could get done. And when I tell you that
braiding booth was booked and busy the entire time of
(02:05):
Angela y Day. Everyone was getting their hair braided and
they were coming up to me like, thank you so
much for this. You see, I just got my fresh
braids in my hair. One person was like, I took
my hair down and let them, you know, rebraid it.
And a lot of these women were doing this out
of the goodness of their hearts, just coming out and
working and it's not easy work to stand there and
break here for five hours. So I just want to
(02:25):
shine a light on those women and on my girl
Destiny for putting that together. She got all the products
donated to be able to use for.

I think I had like a bunch of bottles looking
like this.
Speaker 2 (09:52):

need to start writing their names. Yeah, you need to
write your name on your bottle water when you're at
people's houses and there's a lot of you, so that
you're not just throwing It felt like such a waste,
all of that plastic.

Get where you put your bottle and oh what was
that mine?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Oh no, give me, give me another one.

entirely using lego. He also produced the movie too, by
the way, and so it's called it's called Piece by
Piece and it's using the Lego bricks. It depicts his
early life in Virginia through to his rise to fame.
People are saying it's really nice and it's going to
be considered for the Best Animated Feature and Best Original
(16:35):
Song categories, in particular because he also recorded five new
tracks for the soundtrack, so that should be an interesting
one to see. They said, is it a documentary, a
biopic and animated movie, a musical, a character study, you bet?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And more?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And they said it's been put together to perfection, all right.
USA Gymnastics is very proud of both Simonbiles and Jordan Childs,
and they showed that on Friday after the Houston Astros
honored them against the Kansas City Royals. So they were
given uh Simone Bobs was given the honor of throwing
the ceremonial first pitch, and Jordan Childs got a huge
(17:11):
round of applause when she was shown on the jumbo
tron and USA Gymnastics wrote though, these two hit it
out of the park and so they were recognized again
before the Astros game. That's that's nice. I know Jordan
Child's needs that love and support. She's been through a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Future is teasing his upcoming project, mixtape Pluto, with a
big announcement on Instagram. He shared smartwork for the mixtape
and a snippet of a new single is called Lil Demon.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Sharing Team.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
All right, what you think.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
It sounded a right though. I mean we can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, can't go wrong with some Future.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
In the meantime, another person who can't go wrong is Eminem.
He broke fifty million Pure albums sold in the United States.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
He has made history.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
He is the first rapper to ever reach this milestones
and Pure albums is physical album sold, so it doesn't
include digital download, streaming or anything. It's the actual physical copies.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
So this is the last album.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
No, just in general, he's the first rapper to ever
have sold over fifty million pure album sales in the
United States. That's huge because people are and especially now,
people aren't buying right albums like that. All right, and
we're waiting to get some information on Travis Scott's Days
Before Rodeo, the re release of the mixtape is in
a tight race with Sabrina Carpenter is short and sweet.
(18:50):
They are saying that his mixtape, his breakthrough mixtape, Days
Before Rodeo, is set to debut at the number one spot,
selling three hundred and sixty five thousand first week units.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Imagine that.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
All right, Well, let's see there's no decision yet on
the Billboard two hundred results. But he's in a really
really tight race with Sabrina Carpenter. They're within one to
two thousand units of each other for number one. All right,
well that is your ut when we come back. We
have under the radar. These are the stories that are
not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under the radar,
but you definitely need to know about them.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Anyway. It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yee god, yeah, news this in the news that relates
to you. These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
All right, it's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here,
Maino's here. This indeed, and let's get into these under
the radar stories. Now, this one was definitely trending for days.
Chase Bank is warning against using that system glitch that
happened to try to get money. So the way this
is working is people were trying to withdraw more money
(19:52):
than they actually had in the account. There was a
banking system delay. So imagine you put in a check
in your bank account, right, you know, you don't have money,
it's a fake check or whatever. But there was a
delay and that being processed, so people were able to
withdraw that money because of that delay, and before the
check could.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Bounce, they knew that the system was off.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, they knew the system was off.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's why there were lines of people at the ATM machines. Now,
Chase did say in a statement that they fixed this
problem and they said the trend was in fact just
a simple, just simple check fraud. They said, we are
aware of this incident and it has been addressed. Regardless
of what you see online, depositing a fraudulent check and
withdrawing the funds from your account is fraud.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Plain and simple.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So we don't know how many customers try to do
this yet, but you'll be in trouble.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Because they know you did it, like in your account.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, I don't know why anybody would think this is
something you'd get away with, all right, Thousands of Hilton
Height and Marriotte hotel workers are on strike across the country.
They want better wages and workloads and a reversal of
COVID nineteen era. You know, during the pandemic, there were
a lot of cuts that were made. When you stayed
at a hotel, they weren't coming to clean the room
(21:05):
like that. You had to request special services. Well, they're
saying now a lot of things that God take that
took place during COVID have not been re implemented, and
so people are taking advantage of that. In these hotels
are making record amounts of money, but not passing that
money down to the guests and to the people that
work there those standard services that you're supposed to get.
(21:27):
They said, we won't accept a new normal where hotel
companies profit by cutting their offerings to guests and abandoning
their commitments to workers. So each city strike is expected
to last up to three days, but they're saying this
could spread to twenty five to many different states, and
right now it's in twenty five hotels and nine cities
across the country. So just giving y'all a heads up
(21:50):
if you're traveling and going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And lastly, a heads up about this.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Instagram has added stories comments to encourage interaction, so you
can comment on stories and people can see them. So
you could always comment on posts, but now you know
how you'd be sending like the little hard eyes or
the egg plan emoji to somebody's story. I didn't mean
you in general, but yeah, so now people can see that.
(22:17):
Just the f YI giving you all heads up. All right,
Well that is your under the radar now you know.
We got the way Up mix at the top of
the hour. What's today's date, September third? All right, bills
are still due, so I know the holiday past. Make
sure you take care of that. And also, Sonya Kristna
Murthy is going to be joining us. She's the author
of Fashion Killer, but she's also a journalist who's been
(22:38):
at this for quite a long time.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
This is just her first book.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
She's got another one on the way about Rockefeller records,
but always makes for interesting conversation. And like she says,
she doesn't get paid by any of these artists are labels,
so she says whatever she thinks.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It's way up with Angela. Yee.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's a tout like they Angelie Jane, like they a
Jelie Jane.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Man, she's spilling it all. This is ye way.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, my goodness is way up with Angela ye ye.
And let's get into the et.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
We've been following this story and I actually looked at
a lot of what Cleo chap I had to say
and also a lot of what Ice Spice had to
say about each other. It's sad because the two of
them were really good friends, it felt like at one point, right,
but they had a big falling out and it's all
playing out on social.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Media as it always does.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Now, just to give you all a summary, apparently, Ice
Spice invited Cleo Chappa to come on tour with her,
and it was a day before the tour that she
actually invited her.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Ice Spice said that they ended up having an extra.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Tour bus so they had more room and she was
trying to help give her a platform.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Here is what Ice Spice had to say.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
And this is sad because I genuinely was trying to
help her, Like I'm like, yo, do you want to
just come on this tour? You know what I'm saying,
Like you could just like join like mad last minute type.
Speaker 11 (23:57):
So I'm like, oh, let.
Speaker 10 (23:59):
Me see if Cleo wants to come, so she could
do like her songs and stuff like that. But that's
what the guy get for trying to be a good person.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
All right, Well it all sounds like it started off
with good intentions, right, But according to Kleo Trappa, she
said that she was given one day to prepare, she
was not included in tour promo, She was mistreated by
Ice Spice, She was forced to change in the bathroom,
She had to pay for her own hotel rooms, even
though she says that Ice Spice was like I got you.
You don't have to worry about it. And she didn't
(24:30):
get paid for it, which I don't think she expected.
But I guess she at least wanted to be able
to get some type of hotel rooms, you know, taking
care of at the minimum.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Right.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yes, it's rough, it's rough, she to all.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Life is rough, especially when you open it act.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
So I get it, but I guess she wanted some
acknowledgment too. She said she made her own flyer, posted it,
tagged her, she didn't repost it. Now here's what Cleo
Trapper had to say, because she did like a five
part series on what happened.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
I got a s that she just wanted me to struggle. Well,
I didn't know what y'all later learned. After bringing up
everything I went through to her, I learned that this
situation where I said something about my bags was the
reason why I got mistreated the entire tour after that.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So she was trying to get security to help her
with her bags and they told her no. Right, And
there's a lot to this, and so I see a
lot of people picking side.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Yeah, it's a lot to it though, But the thing
is is that they friend. So the expectation of being
a friend is looked at differently when you're doing business.
You know, it's people that pay to be on tours.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Well, I will say that Cleo Trapper said they weren't
necessarily friends. They never hung out like there's some chill
just you know, it was always something for the blog.
So she even said that Ice Spice would hang out
with her come to this game and then the next
day she'll put out a single and that would be
like promo you know, is showing her out. And about now,
another person who Ice Spice fell out with has weighed
(25:59):
in on all of this. If you guys recall, she
posted the text messages between her and Ice Spice, and
she also now posted what she sent to Cleochrapper.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
She said, I tried to warn you, and you just
threatened to beat me up.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Nevertheless, I'm sorry that happened to you. That was Babystorm
to Cleochrapper, and then cleo Chrapper responded, oh, I threatened
to beat you up because she was doing all that
because it was mad at Ice.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
It didn't give you had any respect for me.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But you really could have DM me from the jump
with that whole situation if you was on some real
bet ish word. But thank you, And that's actually from today,
those text messages.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
This is right here, this is in a real time.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, this is all you know, it's all unfolding, and
I'm sure we're here a lot more. You know, what's
really tough is when things play out in public instead
of just behind the scenes between the two of you.
But Cleo Trapper says she tried to go to her
and say that she felt like she was being mistreated,
and then Ice Spice said that she was talentless and
slew of other things that I guess you wouldn't say
(26:57):
to somebody that was your friend.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
So I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
What's gonna end up happening between the two of them,
but fight, I don't know if it's, you know, worth
a fight more than I'm never messing with you again,
because it doesn't feel like anything is physical. It just
feels like business slash friendship situations. All right, Well, we'll
see what ends up happening. But now it's out there.
Now it's for the public to see. Everybody's wing in
(27:21):
on it, and that is your Yet when we come back,
we have asked Yee eight hundred two ninety two fifty
one fifty any question you have, We definitely want to
help you out. You know, Mano is an award winning
advice giver.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Can we never fall out like I?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Spicy Cleo Chapel, I can't do that, all right, good,
I don't want I don't want us to, all right,
ask ye is next eight hundred two ninety two fifty
one fifty with.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
It's relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
This is ask ye what's up? His way up? But
Angela yee, I'm Angela Ye.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
My guy Meinos the award winning advice giving Mano and
we have an ask ye call let me gel on
the line.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
What's up, Miguel, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Guys?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Get afternoon?
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Have Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Well, Tuesday is going up on a Tuesday. It's actually not.
But migeah, what's your question for? Ask you?
Speaker 9 (28:09):
Why are people so setting their ways when it comes
to politics. I've been trying to navigate with my friends
for the last like months and some change, or really
since Kamala rights to the top of the ticket, Ask
so why they want to vote for Trump? And the
reasons that they always give me has been already debunked
and proved that.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It's not true.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
And it's getting to a point where I'm not going
to lose a friend over it. But it does get
very frustrated.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I can understand your pain. In general, all you can
do is give the facts. It is really hard to
talk about politics with people who are on the opposite
side of what you think. Right, A lot of people
are set in their ways. A lot of people here
misinformation and think that it's true. And I think a
lot of it also depends on what news you watch. Right,
Do you have friends that are Trump supporters?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
May know I do. My God, Danny drows me he
loves Trump.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
But you got to know understand that everybody's not going
to see things the same way that you do, and
you can't go out and try to over convince them
to see it from your point of view.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
You got to allow people to live the way they
want to live.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
But I think having facts is important, right because it's
not even like see things how I see it. It's
also when somebody says something that's not true, I like
to calmly just and I've done this before. I had
an uber driver once that was talking to me about
Donald Trump, and you know all the why he supports him,
and he was saying things that were not true.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
And then when you give him the facts and the
still choose to overlook.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
The facts, can say you go.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
But all I can do is just be like, well,
actually that's not true and this is what it is.
But you know, I can't tell anybody what to do.
I do tell people make sure you're registered to vote,
make sure you know what's going on. I care a
lot about local politics and what's happening directly that impacts
men in my region. But I do think that don't
knock yourself out arguing with somebody who's not going to
(30:01):
change their mind.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
I don't like to talk about these things because I
get angry, you understand, and they stop your friend, and
then it could escalate to something else.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I'll stay away from it.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Politics.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
They always say that that's a hard thing to have
to discuss with somebody you love and somebody who's close
to you when you guys don't agree on it.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
But sometimes you just have to agree to disagree.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
And I think as long as you can stick to
the facts and know you believe what you believe and
support what you support, and there's reality and then there's lies,
and so let's stick with the reality of what things
are and make sure you're informed, because there's a lot
of uninformed people that will say anything and that repeating
things that they see on the headlines, that they see,
you know, on social media, and they don't have the
(30:42):
real facts.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Yeah, well, thank you guys forgetting my car.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
Really appreciate it and I love the topic, so please
keep talking.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
About it, all right, Thank you, Micheal. We appreciate you well. Anyway,
that was ask ye eight hundred two nine two fifty
one fifty if you couldn't get through.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And when we come back.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
This is somebody who reports the facts, som Ya Krishna Murthy.
She has a book guy right now called Fashion Killer,
quite an interesting book that gives a lot of facts
and a lot of background information on today's fashion and
hip hop. She has another book that she's working on
about Rockefeller Records, but we're going to talk to her
about Fashion Killer when we come back.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
It's way up at Angela Yee.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
You ing way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
More Now, what's up as way up at Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I'm here, Jasmine Brand is here, and I'm ready for
this journalism talk with some of the Krishna Murthy in
the building. I call you Somya k all the time
because that's your name on social media.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
We've known each other a long time since the blog era.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yes, Sony and I have known each other for quite
some time. And what I love is that you've been
so consistent and also evolving with your journalism. And unafraid
to say certain things that some people may play it
politically correct.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
Yeah, it's a great thing when you're not on a
rapper's payroll, you can basically say whatever you want. But
you know, for me, was important as somebody who's been
in the industry for going to age myself about fifteen
years now and being a journalist, you start out with
those small little pieces like a double Excel or the source,
and over time you want to evolve. So for me,
(32:11):
it was really important with my first book, Fashion Killer,
that I did something that an important story about hip
hop and fashion that chronicles hip hop in a way
that I think, you know, gives it that prestige element
which I think is so missing sometimes in journalism.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Well, Fashion Killer and look, I was giving you some
of this America and Prince this is aset Racky's whiskey
and only makes sense because obviously Fashion Killer is an
aset Raky song.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
It is It is the famous song where I think
he named checks about like twenty six different labels. And
at the time it was so funny because although aceps
from Harlem, he dressed like he's from Soho. He sounded
like he was from Houston. So he really represented this
kind of like pan regional artist, and I think that
is also the story of hip hop and fashion. Of
course it's a New York story, but there's elements of
(32:59):
Atlanta in LA and Miami, but also Paris.
Speaker 11 (33:01):
When we're talking about like oak.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
Kature, it should, of course I go through the whole,
like Coco Chanel story, the car Lagerfell story, we're talking
about street Where, the Japanese story. And to me, it
was just showing hip hop has this global impact and
even though I don't think it always gets the respect
that it deserves Like this is why books like this
I think are important to show people maybe who don't
(33:23):
understand the music or the culture, what the contribution is.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Right now, my dad's mind brand and we are talking
to Daring of this, Somya Christnamurthy, so he has the
book fastened Kayla out right now.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
But there was you know, so many like different stories
from you know, Tupac walking the Versace show right before
he passed away, Biggie being the first rapper to wear Babe,
I'm sorry, Soldier boy, it was not you.
Speaker 11 (33:44):
I'm sorry, Little Way and it was not you.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
It's between Biggie and the Beastie Boys, and after all
my research, I'm gonna give it to Biggie because he
there's a great story and I actually have the picture
in the book.
Speaker 11 (33:55):
Right before he passed, he had.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
Done a photo shoot and the photographer Sean Mortensen was like, Hey,
I know this guy Nigo, and he has a brand
called Babe. Can you put on this hoodie? It was
too small for Biggie, so he draped it over him
almost like a gape, so it looks like he's wearing
it almost like a blazer. Sean takes the picture and
sends it to Nego and apparently Biggie was so excited
(34:17):
he wanted to get Bape in his sizes because they
just didn't make it in the big size. But sadly
he passed away before that happened. So so many of
these iconic artists that we know them for one thing,
we don't realize they were so instrumental in the world
of fashion.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
And I remember you also in the book talked about
how when the Roots did the song what they Do, Yeah,
he was personally offended because that song What They Do
was all about how people in the industry really front
and wear certain things and separate commercialism.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (34:45):
I interviewed Questlove and he talked about that, all.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Right, Sonya.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
CHRISN.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Murphy is here with us. Her book, Fashion Killer is
out right now. We have more with her and the
Dasmond brand when we come back. It's way up with Angela.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
It's way up with Angela ye.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Let's go. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Are media maven right?
Speaker 4 (35:01):
You never know what AND's gonna say what's up?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
His way up? But Angela yee, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Dad's mind brand is here and we're talking to Somya
christ Namert, the author of Fashion Killer.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Do you put out a tweet and people were.
Speaker 11 (35:13):
I'm always tweeting and people are yelling at me. I
love it.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
You mentioned that you worked there before and you had
never when when Puffy was married, I'm not married with
dating Cathy, you had never saw anything alarming.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
And people were upset. They were like, why was he
even write this at all?
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Because I think and again the problem with social media
is there's zero nuance and it's whatever you put out
there and how it's open interpretation.
Speaker 11 (35:34):
And for me and I did a follow up tweet
to explain, so we didn't say that one.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
We didn't need to follow Yeah, no, nobody ever. I
just wanted to hear it explain it.
Speaker 8 (35:41):
But the reason I said that is because I'll be honest,
I've had a lot of conversations behind the scenes with
people in the industry, very powerful people when the allegations
against Puff first happened. And this isn't just Puffy, it's
even other people, whether it's R. Kelly, you know a
variety people Russell Simmons oftentimes, especially you know men in
the industry, will Well, I never saw it, and because.
Speaker 11 (36:01):
I didn't see it, it didn't happen.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
Even when I speak to some women, that's the mentality, Well,
I knew that person and they were nice to me,
so there's no way they can be a monster. And
the reason I said that, and I said it in
the tweet, just because I didn't see it. We still
must listen to alleged victims. People have multiple sides, and
how somebody acts at work, let's say, in a board meeting,
is very different how they act with the romantic partner.
(36:26):
And I do think one reason that we haven't seen
a need to reckoning and hip hop. So many people
their first response is well, I didn't see.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
It, because I will say, and I always say this
to people. I know people who have been awful to me,
they've been great to other people.
Speaker 11 (36:39):
And vice versa.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Right now, my dad's and brand and we are talking
to journal thisis Sonya Christna Murthy.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
He has a book fashioned Kayla out right.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
How do you handle that when somebody was let's say,
somebody was great to you, but they've been awful to
other people? Yeah, how do you then treat that person?
Is it just based off of how they tweeted you?
Or is it like I can't really be around that
anymore because I know what they're capable of.
Speaker 8 (37:04):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I think it's very difficult
if there's actual allegations or there is something where it's
publicly been discussed. I think that's one thing versus behind
closed doors. I've spoken to women who say so and
so did this to me, or so and so maybe
me uncomfortable, but I'm not ready to come forward and
that's definitely peace and for us. I don't think that's
(37:24):
my place then to tell their story. So personally, I mean,
and I'm very kind of lucky in this place in
my career. I just try to like distance myself as
much as possible, but it's also tricky too write. What
is the line between an allegation versus a conviction? How
do you deal with gossip?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
But even if there's not a conviction, that doesn't mean
it didn't happen to And even if there's a conviction,
that doesn't mean it. It's just a grey area. I
want to move on and talk about this next book please,
because you're so you're doing a book about Rockefeller. Yeah,
is everybody? I'm bored to do this, Like I know
you've spoken to Damon in this book.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
All the founders know about it, and that was okay.
So bigs, Jay Z and Kaream knows. Jay's team knows,
Dame's team knows. And for me, it's not like I
believe in transparency. It's not like some sort of gotcha moment.
But for me again, after Fashion Killer, which is the
first hip hop fashion anthology, I realize like for my
next book, I want to tell these important hip hop
(38:21):
stories and tell them in a way that's not being told.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
Rockefeller is like the hip hop blue chip company.
Speaker 8 (38:27):
I want this book to be taught in like college courses,
like what can we learn from them? So yes of course,
it's like the history of the stories, but I want
it through that lens, not just like gossip or he said,
he said.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
What are we thinking that next? I know we're promoting this,
but what do we think in a timeline? How you
sound like my editor?
Speaker 8 (38:43):
Ideally I wanted to drop in twenty twenty six because
it's the thirtieth anniversary.
Speaker 11 (38:47):
You're a reasonable out.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
That makes sense. But listen, Fashion Killer is available now.

hundred two nine two fifty one to fifty. Call us

But anyway, I want to shine a light today. You know,
it was Angela Yee Day over the weekend and there
were a lot of different activations. But who I do
want to shine a light on is my girl Destiny.
You've seen her up here before, braiding my hair while
I'm on the air, always working.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
But she hired.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Eleven women to come out and braid here at Angela
Ye Day. So everybody was getting their hair braided, getting
ready to go back to school. And the reason she
did that was because she said, last year there were
a lot of people, there wasn't just enough time for
people to get their hair braided. So this year she
brought all these people on deck to work so that
it could get done. And when I tell you that
braiding booth was booked and busy the entire time of
(02:05):
Angela y Day. Everyone was getting their hair braided and
they were coming up to me like, thank you so
much for this. You see, I just got my fresh
braids in my hair. One person was like, I took
my hair down and let them, you know, rebraid it.
And a lot of these women were doing this out
of the goodness of their hearts, just coming out and
working and it's not easy work to stand there and
break here for five hours. So I just want to
(02:25):
shine a light on those women and on my girl
Destiny for putting that together. She got all the products
donated to be able to use for.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
The braid, yel and everything.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Dope.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, so that was really dope.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And when I tell you, I feel like the whole
audience had fresh braided hair.
Speaker 1 (02:38):

their hair done. All right.

room service and all of those things.

a lot going on. I was trying to manage a
lot of different things. Some of my friends flew into town.

at my house all weekend. But you know what that means.
It's a mess. Yeah, it's a mess right now, get

Laundry all day.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I had to change all the sheets, I had to
wash everything, I had to wash a lot of dishes.
And the problem I'm having right now is all the
bottle water that I bought and all these half drank
bottle waters all over the place, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I think I had like a bunch of bottles looking
like this.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I had some, yes, everywhere. What a waste. And people
need to start writing their names. Yeah, you need to
write your name on your bottle water when you're at
people's houses and there's a lot of you, so that
you're not just throwing It felt like such a waste,
all of that plastic.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Get where you put your bottle and oh what was
that mine?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Oh no, give me, give me another one.
Speaker 2 (10:13):

my accounts because you know, I ended up paying for
a lot of different things to happen. So that was
a lot. But shout out to everyone that came out

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Williams has a new movie.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's a new movie about his life and it's told
entirely using lego. He also produced the movie too, by
the way, and so it's called it's called Piece by
Piece and it's using the Lego bricks. It depicts his
early life in Virginia through to his rise to fame.
People are saying it's really nice and it's going to
be considered for the Best Animated Feature and Best Original
(16:35):
Song categories, in particular because he also recorded five new
tracks for the soundtrack, so that should be an interesting
one to see. They said, is it a documentary, a
biopic and animated movie, a musical, a character study, you bet?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And more?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And they said it's been put together to perfection, all right.
USA Gymnastics is very proud of both Simonbiles and Jordan Childs,
and they showed that on Friday after the Houston Astros
honored them against the Kansas City Royals. So they were
given uh Simone Bobs was given the honor of throwing
the ceremonial first pitch, and Jordan Childs got a huge
(17:11):
round of applause when she was shown on the jumbo
tron and USA Gymnastics wrote though, these two hit it
out of the park and so they were recognized again
before the Astros game. That's that's nice. I know Jordan
Child's needs that love and support. She's been through a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Future is teasing his upcoming project, mixtape Pluto, with a
big announcement on Instagram. He shared smartwork for the mixtape
and a snippet of a new single is called Lil Demon.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Sharing Team.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
All right, what you think.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
It sounded a right though. I mean we can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, can't go wrong with some Future.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
In the meantime, another person who can't go wrong is Eminem.
He broke fifty million Pure albums sold in the United States.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
He has made history.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
He is the first rapper to ever reach this milestones
and Pure albums is physical album sold, so it doesn't
include digital download, streaming or anything. It's the actual physical copies.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
So this is the last album.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
No, just in general, he's the first rapper to ever
have sold over fifty million pure album sales in the
United States. That's huge because people are and especially now,
people aren't buying right albums like that. All right, and
we're waiting to get some information on Travis Scott's Days
Before Rodeo, the re release of the mixtape is in
a tight race with Sabrina Carpenter is short and sweet.
(18:50):
They are saying that his mixtape, his breakthrough mixtape, Days
Before Rodeo, is set to debut at the number one spot,
selling three hundred and sixty five thousand first week units.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Imagine that.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
All right, Well, let's see there's no decision yet on
the Billboard two hundred results. But he's in a really
really tight race with Sabrina Carpenter. They're within one to
two thousand units of each other for number one. All right,
well that is your ut when we come back. We
have under the radar. These are the stories that are
not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under the radar,
but you definitely need to know about them.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Anyway. It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yee god, yeah, news this in the news that relates
to you. These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
All right, it's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here,
Maino's here. This indeed, and let's get into these under
the radar stories. Now, this one was definitely trending for days.
Chase Bank is warning against using that system glitch that
happened to try to get money. So the way this
is working is people were trying to withdraw more money
(19:52):
than they actually had in the account. There was a
banking system delay. So imagine you put in a check
in your bank account, right, you know, you don't have money,
it's a fake check or whatever. But there was a
delay and that being processed, so people were able to
withdraw that money because of that delay, and before the
check could.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Bounce, they knew that the system was off.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, they knew the system was off.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's why there were lines of people at the ATM machines. Now,
Chase did say in a statement that they fixed this
problem and they said the trend was in fact just
a simple, just simple check fraud. They said, we are
aware of this incident and it has been addressed. Regardless
of what you see online, depositing a fraudulent check and
withdrawing the funds from your account is fraud.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Plain and simple.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So we don't know how many customers try to do
this yet, but you'll be in trouble.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Because they know you did it, like in your account.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, I don't know why anybody would think this is
something you'd get away with, all right, Thousands of Hilton
Height and Marriotte hotel workers are on strike across the country.
They want better wages and workloads and a reversal of
COVID nineteen era. You know, during the pandemic, there were
a lot of cuts that were made. When you stayed
at a hotel, they weren't coming to clean the room
(21:05):
like that. You had to request special services. Well, they're
saying now a lot of things that God take that
took place during COVID have not been re implemented, and
so people are taking advantage of that. In these hotels
are making record amounts of money, but not passing that
money down to the guests and to the people that
work there those standard services that you're supposed to get.
(21:27):
They said, we won't accept a new normal where hotel
companies profit by cutting their offerings to guests and abandoning
their commitments to workers. So each city strike is expected
to last up to three days, but they're saying this
could spread to twenty five to many different states, and
right now it's in twenty five hotels and nine cities
across the country. So just giving y'all a heads up
(21:50):
if you're traveling and going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And lastly, a heads up about this.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Instagram has added stories comments to encourage interaction, so you
can comment on stories and people can see them. So
you could always comment on posts, but now you know
how you'd be sending like the little hard eyes or
the egg plan emoji to somebody's story. I didn't mean
you in general, but yeah, so now people can see that.
(22:17):
Just the f YI giving you all heads up. All right,
Well that is your under the radar now you know.
We got the way Up mix at the top of
the hour. What's today's date, September third? All right, bills
are still due, so I know the holiday past. Make
sure you take care of that. And also, Sonya Kristna
Murthy is going to be joining us. She's the author
of Fashion Killer, but she's also a journalist who's been
(22:38):
at this for quite a long time.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
This is just her first book.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
She's got another one on the way about Rockefeller records,
but always makes for interesting conversation. And like she says,
she doesn't get paid by any of these artists are labels,
so she says whatever she thinks.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It's way up with Angela. Yee.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's a tout like they Angelie Jane, like they a
Jelie Jane.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Man, she's spilling it all. This is ye way.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, my goodness is way up with Angela ye ye.
And let's get into the et.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
We've been following this story and I actually looked at
a lot of what Cleo chap I had to say
and also a lot of what Ice Spice had to
say about each other. It's sad because the two of
them were really good friends, it felt like at one point, right,
but they had a big falling out and it's all
playing out on social.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Media as it always does.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Now, just to give you all a summary, apparently, Ice
Spice invited Cleo Chappa to come on tour with her,
and it was a day before the tour that she
actually invited her.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Ice Spice said that they ended up having an extra.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Tour bus so they had more room and she was
trying to help give her a platform.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Here is what Ice Spice had to say.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
And this is sad because I genuinely was trying to
help her, Like I'm like, yo, do you want to
just come on this tour? You know what I'm saying,
Like you could just like join like mad last minute type.
Speaker 11 (23:57):
So I'm like, oh, let.
Speaker 10 (23:59):
Me see if Cleo wants to come, so she could
do like her songs and stuff like that. But that's
what the guy get for trying to be a good person.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
All right, Well it all sounds like it started off
with good intentions, right, But according to Kleo Trappa, she
said that she was given one day to prepare, she
was not included in tour promo, She was mistreated by
Ice Spice, She was forced to change in the bathroom,
She had to pay for her own hotel rooms, even
though she says that Ice Spice was like I got you.
You don't have to worry about it. And she didn't
(24:30):
get paid for it, which I don't think she expected.
But I guess she at least wanted to be able
to get some type of hotel rooms, you know, taking
care of at the minimum.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Right.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yes, it's rough, it's rough, she to all.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Life is rough, especially when you open it act.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
So I get it, but I guess she wanted some
acknowledgment too. She said she made her own flyer, posted it,
tagged her, she didn't repost it. Now here's what Cleo
Trapper had to say, because she did like a five
part series on what happened.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
I got a s that she just wanted me to struggle. Well,
I didn't know what y'all later learned. After bringing up
everything I went through to her, I learned that this
situation where I said something about my bags was the
reason why I got mistreated the entire tour after that.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So she was trying to get security to help her
with her bags and they told her no. Right, And
there's a lot to this, and so I see a
lot of people picking side.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Yeah, it's a lot to it though, But the thing
is is that they friend. So the expectation of being
a friend is looked at differently when you're doing business.
You know, it's people that pay to be on tours.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Well, I will say that Cleo Trapper said they weren't
necessarily friends. They never hung out like there's some chill
just you know, it was always something for the blog.
So she even said that Ice Spice would hang out
with her come to this game and then the next
day she'll put out a single and that would be
like promo you know, is showing her out. And about now,
another person who Ice Spice fell out with has weighed
(25:59):
in on all of this. If you guys recall, she
posted the text messages between her and Ice Spice, and
she also now posted what she sent to Cleochrapper.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
She said, I tried to warn you, and you just
threatened to beat me up.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Nevertheless, I'm sorry that happened to you. That was Babystorm
to Cleochrapper, and then cleo Chrapper responded, oh, I threatened
to beat you up because she was doing all that
because it was mad at Ice.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
It didn't give you had any respect for me.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But you really could have DM me from the jump
with that whole situation if you was on some real
bet ish word. But thank you, And that's actually from today,
those text messages.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
This is right here, this is in a real time.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, this is all you know, it's all unfolding, and
I'm sure we're here a lot more. You know, what's
really tough is when things play out in public instead
of just behind the scenes between the two of you.
But Cleo Trapper says she tried to go to her
and say that she felt like she was being mistreated,
and then Ice Spice said that she was talentless and
slew of other things that I guess you wouldn't say
(26:57):
to somebody that was your friend.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
So I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
What's gonna end up happening between the two of them,
but fight, I don't know if it's, you know, worth
a fight more than I'm never messing with you again,
because it doesn't feel like anything is physical. It just
feels like business slash friendship situations. All right, Well, we'll
see what ends up happening. But now it's out there.
Now it's for the public to see. Everybody's wing in
(27:21):
on it, and that is your Yet when we come back,
we have asked Yee eight hundred two ninety two fifty
one fifty any question you have, We definitely want to
help you out. You know, Mano is an award winning
advice giver.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Can we never fall out like I?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Spicy Cleo Chapel, I can't do that, all right, good,
I don't want I don't want us to, all right,
ask ye is next eight hundred two ninety two fifty
one fifty with.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
It's relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
This is ask ye what's up? His way up? But
Angela yee, I'm Angela Ye.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
My guy Meinos the award winning advice giving Mano and
we have an ask ye call let me gel on
the line.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
What's up, Miguel, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Guys?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Get afternoon?
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Have Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Well, Tuesday is going up on a Tuesday. It's actually not.
But migeah, what's your question for? Ask you?
Speaker 9 (28:09):
Why are people so setting their ways when it comes
to politics. I've been trying to navigate with my friends
for the last like months and some change, or really
since Kamala rights to the top of the ticket, Ask
so why they want to vote for Trump? And the
reasons that they always give me has been already debunked
and proved that.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It's not true.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
And it's getting to a point where I'm not going
to lose a friend over it. But it does get
very frustrated.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I can understand your pain. In general, all you can
do is give the facts. It is really hard to
talk about politics with people who are on the opposite
side of what you think. Right, A lot of people
are set in their ways. A lot of people here
misinformation and think that it's true. And I think a
lot of it also depends on what news you watch. Right,
Do you have friends that are Trump supporters?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
May know I do. My God, Danny drows me he
loves Trump.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
But you got to know understand that everybody's not going
to see things the same way that you do, and
you can't go out and try to over convince them
to see it from your point of view.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
You got to allow people to live the way they
want to live.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
But I think having facts is important, right because it's
not even like see things how I see it. It's
also when somebody says something that's not true, I like
to calmly just and I've done this before. I had
an uber driver once that was talking to me about
Donald Trump, and you know all the why he supports him,
and he was saying things that were not true.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
And then when you give him the facts and the
still choose to overlook.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
The facts, can say you go.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
But all I can do is just be like, well,
actually that's not true and this is what it is.
But you know, I can't tell anybody what to do.
I do tell people make sure you're registered to vote,
make sure you know what's going on. I care a
lot about local politics and what's happening directly that impacts
men in my region. But I do think that don't
knock yourself out arguing with somebody who's not going to
(30:01):
change their mind.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
I don't like to talk about these things because I
get angry, you understand, and they stop your friend, and
then it could escalate to something else.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I'll stay away from it.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Politics.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
They always say that that's a hard thing to have
to discuss with somebody you love and somebody who's close
to you when you guys don't agree on it.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
But sometimes you just have to agree to disagree.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
And I think as long as you can stick to
the facts and know you believe what you believe and
support what you support, and there's reality and then there's lies,
and so let's stick with the reality of what things
are and make sure you're informed, because there's a lot
of uninformed people that will say anything and that repeating
things that they see on the headlines, that they see,
you know, on social media, and they don't have the
(30:42):
real facts.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Yeah, well, thank you guys forgetting my car.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
Really appreciate it and I love the topic, so please
keep talking.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
About it, all right, Thank you, Micheal. We appreciate you well. Anyway,
that was ask ye eight hundred two nine two fifty
one fifty if you couldn't get through.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And when we come back.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
This is somebody who reports the facts, som Ya Krishna Murthy.
She has a book guy right now called Fashion Killer,
quite an interesting book that gives a lot of facts
and a lot of background information on today's fashion and
hip hop. She has another book that she's working on
about Rockefeller Records, but we're going to talk to her
about Fashion Killer when we come back.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
It's way up at Angela Yee.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
You ing way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
More Now, what's up as way up at Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I'm here, Jasmine Brand is here, and I'm ready for
this journalism talk with some of the Krishna Murthy in
the building. I call you Somya k all the time
because that's your name on social media.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
We've known each other a long time since the blog era.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yes, Sony and I have known each other for quite
some time. And what I love is that you've been
so consistent and also evolving with your journalism. And unafraid
to say certain things that some people may play it
politically correct.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
Yeah, it's a great thing when you're not on a
rapper's payroll, you can basically say whatever you want. But
you know, for me, was important as somebody who's been
in the industry for going to age myself about fifteen
years now and being a journalist, you start out with
those small little pieces like a double Excel or the source,
and over time you want to evolve. So for me,
(32:11):
it was really important with my first book, Fashion Killer,
that I did something that an important story about hip
hop and fashion that chronicles hip hop in a way
that I think, you know, gives it that prestige element
which I think is so missing sometimes in journalism.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Well, Fashion Killer and look, I was giving you some
of this America and Prince this is aset Racky's whiskey
and only makes sense because obviously Fashion Killer is an
aset Raky song.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
It is It is the famous song where I think
he named checks about like twenty six different labels. And
at the time it was so funny because although aceps
from Harlem, he dressed like he's from Soho. He sounded
like he was from Houston. So he really represented this
kind of like pan regional artist, and I think that
is also the story of hip hop and fashion. Of
course it's a New York story, but there's elements of
(32:59):
Atlanta in LA and Miami, but also Paris.
Speaker 11 (33:01):
When we're talking about like oak.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
Kature, it should, of course I go through the whole,
like Coco Chanel story, the car Lagerfell story, we're talking
about street Where, the Japanese story. And to me, it
was just showing hip hop has this global impact and
even though I don't think it always gets the respect
that it deserves Like this is why books like this
I think are important to show people maybe who don't
(33:23):
understand the music or the culture, what the contribution is.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Right now, my dad's mind brand and we are talking
to Daring of this, Somya Christnamurthy, so he has the
book fastened Kayla out right now.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
But there was you know, so many like different stories
from you know, Tupac walking the Versace show right before
he passed away, Biggie being the first rapper to wear Babe,
I'm sorry, Soldier boy, it was not you.
Speaker 11 (33:44):
I'm sorry, Little Way and it was not you.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
It's between Biggie and the Beastie Boys, and after all
my research, I'm gonna give it to Biggie because he
there's a great story and I actually have the picture
in the book.
Speaker 11 (33:55):
Right before he passed, he had.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
Done a photo shoot and the photographer Sean Mortensen was like, Hey,
I know this guy Nigo, and he has a brand
called Babe. Can you put on this hoodie? It was
too small for Biggie, so he draped it over him
almost like a gape, so it looks like he's wearing
it almost like a blazer. Sean takes the picture and
sends it to Nego and apparently Biggie was so excited
(34:17):
he wanted to get Bape in his sizes because they
just didn't make it in the big size. But sadly
he passed away before that happened. So so many of
these iconic artists that we know them for one thing,
we don't realize they were so instrumental in the world
of fashion.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
And I remember you also in the book talked about
how when the Roots did the song what they Do, Yeah,
he was personally offended because that song What They Do
was all about how people in the industry really front
and wear certain things and separate commercialism.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (34:45):
I interviewed Questlove and he talked about that, all.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Right, Sonya.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
CHRISN.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Murphy is here with us. Her book, Fashion Killer is
out right now. We have more with her and the
Dasmond brand when we come back. It's way up with Angela.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
It's way up with Angela ye.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Let's go. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Are media maven right?
Speaker 4 (35:01):
You never know what AND's gonna say what's up?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
His way up? But Angela yee, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Dad's mind brand is here and we're talking to Somya
christ Namert, the author of Fashion Killer.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Do you put out a tweet and people were.
Speaker 11 (35:13):
I'm always tweeting and people are yelling at me. I
love it.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
You mentioned that you worked there before and you had
never when when Puffy was married, I'm not married with
dating Cathy, you had never saw anything alarming.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
And people were upset. They were like, why was he
even write this at all?
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Because I think and again the problem with social media
is there's zero nuance and it's whatever you put out
there and how it's open interpretation.
Speaker 11 (35:34):
And for me and I did a follow up tweet
to explain, so we didn't say that one.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
We didn't need to follow Yeah, no, nobody ever. I
just wanted to hear it explain it.
Speaker 8 (35:41):
But the reason I said that is because I'll be honest,
I've had a lot of conversations behind the scenes with
people in the industry, very powerful people when the allegations
against Puff first happened. And this isn't just Puffy, it's
even other people, whether it's R. Kelly, you know a
variety people Russell Simmons oftentimes, especially you know men in
the industry, will Well, I never saw it, and because.
Speaker 11 (36:01):
I didn't see it, it didn't happen.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
Even when I speak to some women, that's the mentality, Well,
I knew that person and they were nice to me,
so there's no way they can be a monster. And
the reason I said that, and I said it in
the tweet, just because I didn't see it. We still
must listen to alleged victims. People have multiple sides, and
how somebody acts at work, let's say, in a board meeting,
is very different how they act with the romantic partner.
(36:26):
And I do think one reason that we haven't seen
a need to reckoning and hip hop. So many people
their first response is well, I didn't see.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
It, because I will say, and I always say this
to people. I know people who have been awful to me,
they've been great to other people.
Speaker 11 (36:39):
And vice versa.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Right now, my dad's and brand and we are talking
to journal thisis Sonya Christna Murthy.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
He has a book fashioned Kayla out right.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
How do you handle that when somebody was let's say,
somebody was great to you, but they've been awful to
other people? Yeah, how do you then treat that person?
Is it just based off of how they tweeted you?
Or is it like I can't really be around that
anymore because I know what they're capable of.
Speaker 8 (37:04):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I think it's very difficult
if there's actual allegations or there is something where it's
publicly been discussed. I think that's one thing versus behind
closed doors. I've spoken to women who say so and
so did this to me, or so and so maybe
me uncomfortable, but I'm not ready to come forward and
that's definitely peace and for us. I don't think that's
(37:24):
my place then to tell their story. So personally, I mean,
and I'm very kind of lucky in this place in
my career. I just try to like distance myself as
much as possible, but it's also tricky too write. What
is the line between an allegation versus a conviction? How
do you deal with gossip?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
But even if there's not a conviction, that doesn't mean
it didn't happen to And even if there's a conviction,
that doesn't mean it. It's just a grey area. I
want to move on and talk about this next book please,
because you're so you're doing a book about Rockefeller. Yeah,
is everybody? I'm bored to do this, Like I know
you've spoken to Damon in this book.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
All the founders know about it, and that was okay.
So bigs, Jay Z and Kaream knows. Jay's team knows,
Dame's team knows. And for me, it's not like I
believe in transparency. It's not like some sort of gotcha moment.
But for me again, after Fashion Killer, which is the
first hip hop fashion anthology, I realize like for my
next book, I want to tell these important hip hop
(38:21):
stories and tell them in a way that's not being told.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
Rockefeller is like the hip hop blue chip company.
Speaker 8 (38:27):
I want this book to be taught in like college courses,
like what can we learn from them? So yes of course,
it's like the history of the stories, but I want
it through that lens, not just like gossip or he said,
he said.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
What are we thinking that next? I know we're promoting this,
but what do we think in a timeline? How you
sound like my editor?
Speaker 8 (38:43):
Ideally I wanted to drop in twenty twenty six because
it's the thirtieth anniversary.
Speaker 11 (38:47):
You're a reasonable out.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
That makes sense. But listen, Fashion Killer is available now.
