Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You are now.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
So it's Angelo what I called her yee.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yes, it's way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee
and I'm here by my stuff today. But I guess
that's finest my show. It's a Thursday. It's today Thursday.
I have to double check. Oh so it's a throwback Thursday.
And I'm gonna tell you all right, we're gonna talk
about this in a second. But yeah, so yesterday I
actually went to a meeting at Reform Alliance. I'll talk

(00:33):
about that more and about last night. But if you
guys don't know about Reform Alliance, that is actually the
mission that started all because of Meek mill right, if.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
You guys would call everything that happened where he.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Was he was on parole for damn Near's whole life
from the first time he went to jail, and then
a lot of things happen with his going to court
and the judge and all of that. And so sometimes
people don't believe what goes on in the justice system
until it happens to somebody close to them or somebody
who they know. So we'll talk more about that when
we come back. Also, Tory Lanes, we're gonna look at

(01:08):
some more things that have been happening with him. I've
been looking at a lot of people commenting online, people
talking about Iggy Azila and the letter that you wrote,
and she's having to defend herself or writing a letter
about Tory Lanez to the judge. What do they call
those letters? Again, Dan, it's not necessarily a letter of support.
It's a character reference. Right, Yes, it's like a character reference.

(01:31):
I told you I had to do that before. I
don't even want to talk about it because it did
not go well, and I, in retrospect, should not probably
have done that, but I didn't know. Sometimes people really
close to you can do things and it's shocking to
you and you can't believe it. But anyway, let's start
the show off with some positivity. All right, we want
you guys to call up and shine a light on them.

(01:51):
It's all about you. Eight hundred and two ninety two
fifty one fifty is the number. Call us up and
let us know who you want to shine a light on,
who's done something amazing and you want to recognize them,
maybe you want to give them a character reference. Eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty when we come
back and shine a light on them on.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Way up with Angela.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeeine turn your lights on, y'all, lace breading love to
those who are doing greatness.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
NA light on, shine a light on.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
It's time to shine a light on them. Yes, it
is way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee and Dan,
Hey angre, how are you? Dan is our producer, and
he has been dying to shine a light on somebody.
This actually caused some issues for us before because I
think Jasmine when she was here, revealed some information.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
A little prematurely.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Prematurely she gave away your the name of my niece, Yes,
your niece, yes, even though nobody knew.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I know in hindsight it was pretty silly.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
But I'm Dan as our producer. Who would you like
to shine a light on today?

Speaker 7 (02:49):
I want to shine a light on my sister Carly,
now Carly de Leo. Well now she's been de Leo
forever like ten years. Anyway, she's a new mom. She's
crushing it. She made me an uncle. I'm super proud
of her. She has been such a warrior through all
of this. I know she was really down in the
dumps when she had some issues during her pregnancy, but
she overcame and she's absolutely crushing it and I'm just

(03:13):
so happy for her. I'm so happy for her husband, Steve.
They meet me an uncle, and yeah, I want to
shine a light on Carly and Ava Faith.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
He's so excited by the way Ava is his niece
to be. He sent pictures to everybody. Dan doesn't even
do stuff like that, so shout out to him. So
shout out to your sister, Carly. Yes, all right, Carly
Dalio de Lio now de Leo, now de Lio. And
I wanted to give a shout out to some people too,
because you know, it is the fiftieth anniversary of hip hop.

(03:40):
It's tomorrow, the actual date. Yes, yeah, tomorrow's the actual
date of the fiftieth anniversary of hip hop. And I
never thought I would be in a position to meet
some of the legends that I've had the honor of meeting.
And one person I want to give a shout out
to is Roxanne Chante, who still is an amazing host
doing what she does. But we actually went to Johannah

(04:00):
in South Africa together for an event and we had
a chance to hang out and so it was really
exciting to me and I was fanning out on the inside.
So I might as well publicly shout out rock Sanne
Chantey right now as one of the people who I
first heard as a young girl growing up in Brooklyn
listening to hip hop. So shout out to you for
still doing the work that you do today. All right now,

(04:22):
who do you guys? Want to shine a light on
eight hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty Hey Marley,

of years back. First of all, I want to shine
a light on you for starting your new show. Thank you,

on myself. Okay, entrepreneur, I called you a couple of
years back when you was doing.

asked you for your opinion about taking a leap to
start my own business.

Speaker 10 (05:10):
Okay, I will DM.

Speaker 9 (05:11):
You again, but check out my page when you get
a chance. But yeah, I'm just a young black entrepreneur
doing the trade and I'm now at the point where
I'm trying to teach the trade to younger kids. So
I got a couple of young sixteen year olds that
I got with me for the summertime, and that's what
I'm doing. I just wanted to shine a light on
myself because it's hard out here.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I got Look, you not got a new house. I'm
working on my house and so you should come.

Speaker 4 (05:35):

All right. Thank you and congrats on five years.

Speaker 9 (05:53):
No congression, and thank you for giving me the motivation.
Y'all gave me the motivation. Sometimes it's going to take.
Sometimes you need to push, you know, and you told
me what I have to be scared of. Okay, five
years later, I'm still doing it for myself and I
able to put people on and give people opportunities. It's big, it's.

Speaker 13 (06:07):
Beautiful, all right.

Speaker 3 (06:08):

All right?

Speaker 9 (06:10):
Thank you Angela, keep doing your thing.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Thank you you too, of course, yes, and that would
shine a light on him. Eight hundred two ninety two
fifty one fifty is a number just in case you
couldn't get through. And since we're talking about hip hop
and the fiftieth anniversary, the date being tomorrow, let's talk
about another legend.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
When we come back for yet, we'll talk about nas.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
He was inducted into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame,
and we have some of the things that he had
to say.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
It's way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
It says troop in the rooms from industry, shade to
all of gos ap out send Angela's feeling that eet. Yes,
it is way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee
and I'm here by myself today on way up with e.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
But Dan is here my producer.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
All right, So first let's start up with Billboards twenty
twenty three R and B hip Hop Power Players events.
Now Billboard has a new found hip Hop Hall of
Fame and the two people that they inducted are Nids
and Little Wayne. So the two of them did reflect
on their honor during that event that happened in LA.
This happened on Tuesday. Here's what Knives had to say.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
I never won awards in the nineties. Forty nine years old.
I'm about to turn fifty along with hip hop man,
and I'm starting to see awards too. I didn't get
into it for awards. We got into it because we
loved the art form. The art form has been vampired
and sent through all kinds that keep the pioneers from

(07:36):
touching anything.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
All right. In addition to that, here is what litl
Wayne had to say, as he was also inducted.

Speaker 8 (07:43):
Of course you.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Already got to give thanks to the menu.

Speaker 8 (07:46):
Also those that we lost, those that we wish we're here,
we thank you as well.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Into my fans, and I think I've hearded the best way.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
When I say I ain't witout you, this is for
Y'allnote I ain't stopping.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
They told me what time to be in.

Speaker 8 (08:04):
I was in the studio.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
They told me when I could leave, I'll be.

Speaker 14 (08:07):
Going back to the studio.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, they listen.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Everybody's still working, So we love to see it, don't we.
I Spice also got an award at that event as well,
for an R and B hip Hop Rookie of the Year.
She said that was her first award that she ever got.
It was all right now, speaking of hip hop, the
Notorious Big his estate is linking with Budweiser. They're bringing
back the magazine Word Up in honor of hip Hop's

(08:33):
fiftieth birthday. That magazine was in print from nineteen eighty
seven to twenty twelve.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Do you remember Word Up, Dan or were you're not?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, you were way too young, I guess at that
period of time. But people used to rip pictures out
of the magazine and hanging up on the wall. Basically,
Now you guys can save a screenshot.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
It's way different. Do people still hang things on their
wall like that?

Speaker 8 (08:59):
This?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
People don't have magazines. People don't even have magazines anymore.
I guess you can take a screenshot and print it
out and then hang it on the wall, right more likely?

Speaker 8 (09:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Okay, all right, and let's talk about one more thing.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Beyonce has made history, and that is with her astronomical
Renaissance Tour earnings. So they reported that she is the
highest grossing UH tour ever by a black musician. Do
you know how much her tour has made so far?
From thirty three shows and she, by the way, still
has twenty three shows left on the schedule.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Over a billion or under a billion.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Two hundred and ninety six million dollars so far, all right,
And so the previous record was actually her Formation World Tour,
so Beyonce only competition with Beyonce. Yes, she's also broken
the all time records for the highest grossing concerts by
a female as well as a black act, and those
are for her MetLife Stadium tours that were over here

(09:57):
in East Rutherford, New Jersey. That was July twent nine
and thirtieth. Each night she made almost seventeen million dollars.
So congratulations to Beyonce. Won't she do it?

Speaker 1 (10:07):
It's crazy?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
You know how normally we say won't he do it? Well, Beyonce,
won't she do it?

Speaker 5 (10:12):
All right?

Speaker 3 (10:12):
And Megan Fox has a newly announced poetry book, Pretty
Boys Are Poisonous. I saw her talking about it, and
it's an instant bestseller according to reports and the numbers
that are in on Amazon. It's a bestseller already. It's
not even coming out until November seventh, but it's a
great title, and it's her literary debut. Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.
She said. These poems were written in an attempt to

(10:34):
excise the illness that had taken root in me because
of my silence. I've spent my entire life keeping the
secrets of men. My body aches from carrying the weight
of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages, and
I hope that my words can inspire others to take
back their happiness and their identity by using their voice
to illuminate what's been buried but not forgotten in the darkness.

(10:56):
All right.

Speaker 7 (10:57):
I wonder if the poems are going to be anything
like a Drake's book as a can be like one liners.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
I don't think it's that actual poem from what I
can tell by her explanation of this, it doesn't feel
like real poem, right, Yeah, it feels like these are
or for real all right. So her book is number
one in both the Rich and Famous Biographies and Love
Poems category and it's number thirty one overall in the
top one hundred books across every category. All right, well
that is your yet, and when we come back, we

(11:21):
have about last night. That's where we discussed things that
we had happened last night. I do want to talk
about a lip Service interview that dropped yesterday, and you
know a lot of people had things to say about it.
But if you guys know, for from Black Ink Chicago,
that lip Service episode is out right now. In case
you haven't watched it heard it, you need to check
it out. It's way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah last night. So about last night last night, last night.

Speaker 11 (11:49):
Z I went down.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yes, it's way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee
and it is time for about last night.

Speaker 15 (11:56):
Now.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yesterday, when I left work, I actually had a meeting
at Reforms and Reform Alliance is basically an organization that
was started to make sure well people. You know, as
we all have learned, probation and parole should set people
up for success, not failure. That's one of their taglines.
And those systems have been holding people back, right because

(12:18):
a lot of times you spend and this was a situation.
It all started with Meek Mill being on parole or
being on probation. There's a lot of things that you
can't do if small things can happen, like you could
get pulled over for speeding and you could end up
going back to jail. Any little thing could land you
back in jail. You could be at an event where
they're serving alcohol, you could go to jail for that.
There's just so many things that can happen where you

(12:40):
violate your probation, you violate parole, and you end up
back in prison. And I think a lot of us,
the majority of us, have somebody in our life or
somebody we know who has been incarcerated, if not ourselves, Dan,
do you yes? You do? Okay, Yeah, So it's just
a we talk about reform and that's what reform align
it's all about. So I had a meeting over there

(13:01):
with them just to figure out some ways that we
can work together since we have this way up with
Angela Yee platform. And as I've discussed before, I'm working
on this building in midtown Detroit where ten of those
units in the thirty unit building would be allocated toward
women who are formally incarcerated, because that's another issue.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
When you come home, how can.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
You find housing, landlords actually feeling like they don't want
to give you an opportunity to live there, People being
biased against you once they find out your background. Sometimes
people are ashamed sometimes to prevent you from being able
to even get a job. So there's just a lot
of obstacles. As they're saying, they want you to get
out and do better, but sometimes it's hard to do.
And so we just wanted to make sure that we're

(13:43):
doing our part. I just texted Mane or Lehimo. I
actually pitched him for something with them.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
So, yeah, so did you respond?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
He said, I don't even want to tell you what
he said. He said, what's reform Alliance? But you know what,
I can't assume. I'm sure once I explain it to him.
Because it's a lot of people that are behind this initiative,
and they actually are very instrumental in getting.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Laws passed, getting bills passed. That's the main thing.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
What they're trying to do is not only provides supportporate
to also make sure that legislation is actually changed right
to help people. And then the other thing that happened
yesterday was as it does every Tuesday, well Tuesday, but
yesterday it really kind of spread like wildfire.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Lip service. Lip Service comes out on Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Usually Wednesday stories get picked up, and we had four
from Black Ink Chicago on this latest episode of lip Service,
and he actually had DM me to let me know
that he thought it was a great interview and thank you,
because I feel like, if you watch black in Chicago,
he was having some issues, some mental health issues, and

(14:48):
it seems like now he's a lot freer than he's
ever been. Now do want to warn you if you
follow him on Twitter, You're going to see a lot.
If you go to his Twitter page, you will see
a lot. And I'm just going to put that out
there right now. But one of the things that he
discussed was he has an OnlyFans and he's been doing
some very risque recordings.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
I would say it is porn.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
And here's what he had to say about telling his
mom because that's one of the hardest parts.

Speaker 16 (15:16):
They had her talk on my mom. That was the
hardest conversation I've had. When I started seeing it grow,
like views, getting over a million views, I'm like, let
me call my mom at this point because I don't
know if she happened to stumble across something on Facebook
or well. So I called her and I just thought
her my vision and I just told her like, man,
you got to just trust And after I broke everything
down to her, she was just like, well, you sounding,
you got everything figured out. And at that moment, I

(15:37):
think that's when she realized, like, he's a man.

Speaker 8 (15:39):
Now.

Speaker 16 (15:40):
That was the most I've ever heard my mom so
silent on the phone.

Speaker 17 (15:44):
Ooo.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's a tough thing. I can't imagine, yeah, telling my
mom something like that. But I feel like a lot
of us and our occupations are doing things that may
not necessarily have been what our parents desired for us.

Speaker 11 (16:00):
Right.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
I don't think my parents ever thought I would be
in this position. They're happy now, but I don't think
early on they probably thought it would lead to anything
in here, Yeah, what does your parents want you to do?

Speaker 11 (16:11):
Dan?

Speaker 7 (16:12):
They were just more interested in like a standard nine
to five desk job, because when I started, I was
on the street team, and as a street team, we
really don't make much money. The hours are inconsistent, but
I knew that, like we.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Pay for you to go to college, for you to
be on a.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Street Team, Yeah kind of.

Speaker 7 (16:26):
And I was also living with my mom at the time,
and you know, she was seeing how pathetic the.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Paychecks were, right, And I didn't get paid much either
when I first started. And I know a lot of
people whose parents wanted to push them in a certain direction.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
They want you to be a lawyer and be a doctor.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Our navy who runs the boards here he said his
parents wanted him to be a teacher. You still can,
all right, So eight hundred and two nine two fifty
one fifty is a number you want to hear from
you guys, right, Are you doing what your parents in
vision for you to do? And was it hard for
you to tell them what you were doing? Are they
proud of you now? We want to hear your stories
when it comes to that. It may not be as
extreme as four, but we want to hear what you

(17:03):
have to say. Eight hundred two nine fifty one fifty.
It's way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 16 (17:08):
Way up with Angela ye is back to set off
your work days?

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yes, it's way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee
and we are talking about last yesterday lip service that
went viral and one of the things we wanted to
talk about was four for us from black in Chicago,
and he's now doing OnlyFans.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
He is, for all.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Intentsive purposes, doing porn. Oh yeah, Tip, you said.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
What bondage like BDS.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
I'm right, it's more than it's it's just all around. Yeah,
a lot of things. You know, you've seen pictures of
him and a dog cage, naked, You've seen UH on
a leash, on a leash, yeah, getting walked, walking like
a dog. And if you want to see any of
these things, if you are bold enough, you can go
to his Twitter page that's pho R.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
He has a lot of It's four ever what is it?
You'll find it?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, forever I am And you can go see what
those videos look like. But he had to break the
news to his mom. Here's what he had to say.

Speaker 16 (18:12):
They had a talk with my mom. That was the
hardest conversation I've had. When I started seeing it grow
like views, getting over a million views, I'm like, let
me call my mom at this point because I don't
know if she happened to stumble across on on Facebook
or well. So I called her and I just told
her my vision and I just told her like, man,
you got to just trust me. And after I broke
everything down to her, she was just like, well, you sounding,
you got everything figured out, And at that moment, I

(18:34):
think that's when she realized, like he's a man now.
That was the most I've ever heard my mom so
silent on the phone.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Can you imagine?

Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right?

Speaker 3 (18:44):
But even thinking about myself, and you know what, I
think the biggest problem with my parents and what I
do is that my brother, right, my brother is like
the super smart one. He went to Brown University. He
was doing all these things in tech that I can't
even explain because he would be talking to me about
it and I didn't understand what he meant. And so
if you compare me to my brother, it always felt

(19:05):
like I didn't have it figured out. Like when I
first got out of college, I was doing temp work
for two days, three days and I quit that. Then
I was working for Wu Tang, and I think they
really probably couldn't see where this was going to go.
You know, Dan, what about you?

Speaker 7 (19:23):
Yeah, I had the same experience. My mom really didn't
understand why I stayed as a street teamer for so long.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
I did it for two years and that is a
long time.

Speaker 8 (19:30):
It was.

Speaker 7 (19:30):
Yeah, it was ten dollars an hour, but I knew that, like,
while I was there, I was getting real time experience.
So I'd always just say to her that the next
step is going to be drastic, please like, trust it,
trust it. Sure enough, after two years, you know, I
landed with the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
But it took a long time. You know, there was
a lot of back and forth conversation.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
A long time to be on the street team. I'm
not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
And you lived at home with your mom too, and
you had a second job, and I.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Worked in a restaurant. Yeah, I was bussing tables.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
And sometimes it's hard for parents to see certain things
because there they come from a different generation. You know,
my mom has had the same job since I was
a kid, and so and you know, clearly like.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
She's very comfortable there.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
She's still working now, you know, And my dad has
bounced around from job to job.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
No shade, dad, How long in the industry until your
parents were like, okay, you got it?

Speaker 4 (20:19):
They still don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
I think it probably was when I was on serious
exam and because before that, I was like freelancing a lot,
and I had a lot of different things going on,
but they didn't really know or understand. But I want
to hear you. You guys, call in and let us
know what your experience has been like where your parents proud.
A lot of us don't do what our parents wanted
us to do, and sometimes when you try to do that,
you end up being like upset and better and not

(20:43):
really following your dreams.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Hey, Tara, how are you?

Speaker 12 (20:47):
I'm good?

Speaker 11 (20:47):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (20:48):
I'm good?

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
We're talking about what we do for a living and
whether or not our parents support that or believed in it.
What about you?

Speaker 18 (20:56):
Yeah, my parents you're not accepts what I do. I
am an exotic dancer. Okay, I've been doing it for
about a seven years, and I guess like they still
haven't came to girl her.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
How did you tell them?

Speaker 18 (21:12):
Actually, there was a flyer maid and my mom called
me and was like, I know this is not you.
I'm a fire.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah it would you say?

Speaker 18 (21:24):
I was like, well, yeah, fine, here's some money.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
All right? Well, I guess you know they still love
you to say though, right, Oh.

Speaker 18 (21:34):
Yeah, definitely I love her.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
It's just, yeah, that's not an easy one. I have
to tell your parents.

Speaker 11 (21:41):
No, but and it'll be okay. I'm safe with it all.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Right, thank you, Tara?

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah bye, Hey Timas, how are you?

Speaker 4 (21:50):
I'm good? Thank you.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
So we're talking about our parents and what they wanted
for us versus what we actually do. What do you
do now?

Speaker 13 (21:57):
I do have a nine to five, however my side
us well, I actually run the biggest outdoor comedy show
in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
That's huge.

Speaker 13 (22:03):
So yeah, it is so to be able to get
to that point, you know, I had. I had to
do my own stand up that my mom coming to
my shows and all that. She definitely was, for lack
of better words, intrigued. But things popped off and it
worked out in my favor. I had to quit my
nine to five that I was working so for her here,
I wanted to do something on my own and not

(22:23):
have something stable.

Speaker 10 (22:24):
It was definitely concerning to it.

Speaker 13 (22:26):
But she's not my number one fan.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Now that's dope, and that is hard for parents too,
because they're concerned about you. They're like, are you sure
you can maintain like this? Right?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Absolutely?

Speaker 13 (22:34):
Absolutely absolutely, And it's like I said, it's worked out
in my favor better than I would have ever anticipated.

Speaker 10 (22:39):
So I'm thankful and blessed for that.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
All right, good we love to prove them wrong too, right,
just in the way, absolutely like.

Speaker 10 (22:45):
Look I did it still, I still did.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
It, all right, thank you.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Congrats to you too.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yes, absolutely, thank you.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Mixed Master and mill what's good man? I'm assumed that
you're a DJ for sure? All right, so talk to us.
Is this an occupation that your parents were against?

Speaker 15 (23:05):
I mean, they want me to have a fact, I
ain't even gonna li as see you, but I wanted
to get the grind and were like, nah, I'm my
own person, So okay, doing what I feel like you
be doing.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
How long did it take for things to pop off? Thought?

Speaker 8 (23:20):
Quick because I.

Speaker 9 (23:25):
Ain't kind of start unloving, kind of kind of rapidly.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
And did your parents understand what you do for a living?

Speaker 11 (23:32):
Nah?

Speaker 9 (23:32):
I don't think they understand.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
I did?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
All right?

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Well, thank you?

Speaker 8 (23:38):
All right?

Speaker 4 (23:39):
All right, guys, well thanks for calling and sharing.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
If you couldn't get through eight hundred two nine fifty
one fifty is a number, you can still leave a
message for last word and when we come back, we
have a yeek and Lizzo is facing six more allegations
of sexual harassment, will tell you about it.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
It's way up with Angela.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yee yo.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
She about to blow the lead of off this pot kiddy.

Speaker 11 (23:58):
Angela's feeling that yeeze.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
I mean, get to see.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
It's way yep, but Angela ye, Angela yee and it's
time for some yee team now. Lizzo, according to NBC News,
has new allegations against her. There are more accusations, and
there's a law firm that's claiming they've gotten at least
six more complaints of issues with their working environment. The
allegations are a quote, sexually charged environment and failure to

(24:24):
pay employees.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
But thus far they're just claims.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
According to the attorney, ron Zambrano said that some of
the claims we are reviewing may be actionable, but it
is too soon to say so. Lizzo is still denying
that any of these things happen. Now, one person is
saying we should just take it to trial. More witnesses
are coming forward every day corroborating the plaintiff's allegations. So
we're looking forward to facing Lizo and her team in court.

(24:50):
As we chose before, As we told you before, Lizo said,
usually I choose not to respond to false allegations. But
these are as unbelievable as a sound and two out
wages to not be addressed. Oh dans I produce a DAN.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Dan and Made in America was canceled some people. I
don't know if this is true, but people are speculating
was it because of what's going on with Lizzo because
he was one of the headliners.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Sciss It was the other headliner, but it could be
other reasons.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, to cancel the whole concert, I.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Feel like that's a lot of the whole festival. Yeah,
they couldn't because there's people that were supposed to be
headlining that end up not headlining all the time them
and they just replaced them with somebody else.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
Seems like a stretch, okay.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Tory Lanez in the meantime, is supposed to get almost
one year served deducted from prison time. He received that
sentence of ten years in a shooting case, and according
to Megan Kuniff, he'll have a total of three hundred
and five days removed and that's for time served, right,
He'll be credited for days he's already spent in jail,
and he gets fifteen percent credit of thirty four days

(25:55):
as well. They're also crediting his forty days of house arrest,
and so that total is about three hundred and five days.
He'll request a bill pending appeal, which will be heard
August fifteenth, but they said it's extremely unlikely to be
granted for him to get out on bill while he's
waiting for his appeal. In the meantime, people are still
talking about Iggy Azilia and the character letter that she

(26:16):
wrote in support of Tory Lanez and she posted, for
the record, I've not been in touch with Tory for
a months.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
I have no reason to be, but I do wish
him well. I don't support anyone.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
I was told this is for a judge only the
letter that she wrote, and she said, I'm not in
support of throwing away anyone's life if we can give
reasonable punishments that are rehabilitative and instead.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
So people were coming at her now.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
She also let them know because they were like, oh,
how come you said you haven't spoken to him, But
before the trial they were working on music together, and
she said that's because this letter was written in February.
She said they have not been in contact for months,
but she does fully still support rehab rehabilitation things for people,
and so another person that they're coming at not just Iggyaza,

(27:00):
it's also Mario. Apparently Mario also wrote a character letter
in support of Tory Lanez and here's what he had
to say.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
As an independent artist doing his thing, like, you know,
it's a lot of artists that don't work as hard
as he do. So, you know, regardless of whatever, you know,
the music is what it is. It's like you still
listen to music regardless of what's going on in the world,
like things you don't know about, Like the music is
what you love people for, you know what I'm saying.
So you know, we're gonna keep the energy positive music

(27:29):
if you don't, but you're just gonna keep creating, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
No, I don't understand there was that that wasn't really
saying anything.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, I feel like he was.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
He basically was like, let's move on all right.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
In the meantime, Kelsey Harris, who was Megan the Stallion's
former best friend, could be found in contempt of court
for that case. She could face a fine if that happens,
and according to the Neighborhood Talk they've megan. The Stallion's
team has asked the judge to hold her in contempt
a court for ignoring a deposition she was asked to
participate in. It was supposed to take place June twenty first,

(28:07):
but she never showed up, and that was to get
information about the label fifteen oh one, including what the
executives knew about an alleged plant to sabotage her releases
on the label, and whether or not she had their
endorsement when releasing a disc track. If she's found in contempt,
that's when she could potentially have to pay a fine
or even maybe have to be arrested as well. All right,

(28:29):
well that is your yet, and when we come back,
we have under the radar. These are the stories that
are not necessarily in the headlines of the news. They
are flying under the radar, but we definitely feel like
you need to know about them. We have that for
you when we come back. It's way up with Angela
YEEO news. This in the news that relates to you.
These stories are flying under the radar.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
All right, it's way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
I'm Angela Yee and it's time to go under the
Radar some of these stories that are not necessarily in
the headlines, but you definitely need to know about them.

Speaker 11 (29:00):
Now.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Disney is raising prices on ad free Disney Plus Hulu,
and they also are planning a crackdown on password sharing,
similar to what Netflix did to make sure that you
can't share your password.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
With multiple people.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
So on Wednesday, they said they're gonna boost the cost
of ad free Disney Plus by three dollars a month,
which is gonna be up to thirteen ninety nine, and
they also plan to increase a monthly fee for ad
free Hulu by three dollars a month. That new pricing
will go into effect on October twelfth. They also are
cracking down on password sharing, and they didn't disclose details
on how they plan to do that. Right now, all

(29:36):
right now, this story has caused me to sit here
doing a deep dive. I was looking at Tamika Mallory's
page and she posted this is a new supplemental education
video that Governor DeSantis has approved to be shown in
Florida schools. She said, let me start by saying, I
know there are many leaders in Florida fighting this maniac.
No need to assume I'm ignoring the great organizers on

(29:58):
the ground. In fact, they need more help from people
reading this post. Well, when you click on the video,
it's a cartoon, and here's what it's saying.

Speaker 6 (30:08):
Slavery is as old as time, and it's taking place
in every corner of the world, even amongst the people
I just left. Being taken as a slave is better
than being killed. No, before you judge, you must ask yourself,
what did the culture and society at the time treat
as no big deal?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
My goodness, the fact that this could be taught in
schools and given to the kids. And so I did
a deeper dive. And Dan, when you walked in here,
you saw that I was watching some of these videos.
And so what they have done in Florida the Department
of Education approved a new supplemental Conservative curriculum and these

(30:50):
materials could be could start being utilized in the classroom
very soon in the near future. And so some of
the things are created by the Prager University found It's
an unaccredited organization that creates short educational videos on topics
like history, civics, economics, social issues. Now I'm looking at
this one right now of Leo and layla meet Frederick Douglas,

(31:15):
all right, and they ask him about slavery, and he says,
I'm certainly not okay with slavery, but the founding fathers
made a compromise to achieve something great, the making of
the United States. And they keep on trying to stress
that slavery was happening all over the world, not just
in the United States. And so basically as they are

(31:35):
trying to make sure that people don't get taught the
correct history of what happened, right, they're also trying to
make it seem like slavery is just not so bad
at all. Another video, climate activists are like Nazis is
another video that they have, and so they're basically casting

(31:57):
doubt on climate change that's been happening. And so this
foundation was founded in two thousand and nine by a
Conservators radio talk show hosts Dennis Prager, and they said
it's a free alternative to the dominant left wing ideology
and culture, media and education that teaches American values. This
would make me not want to send my children to
any of these schools, because you're teaching kids this is

(32:20):
first of all incorrect. Right, So when they leave the
bubble of where they live and where they grow up.
They're not going to know what's happened in the real world.
And then imagine how this erases black people in the
history that they've had and made it seem like slavery
somehow was a positive thing in any way. All right, anyway,
it was just very frustrating, and thank you to Mika
Mallory for posting about that, because that's what made me

(32:41):
actually go to the PragerU dot com site to look
at some of these videos and see the misinformation that
they're teaching the kids. The dis education. Seriously, Yeah, it's disgusting.
It's definitely a total whitewashing of history. All right, Well,
that is you're under the radar, y'all. Need to make
sure you guys check this out. This is opp I

(33:02):
can't even believe that we live in a world with
something like this could be happening right now. This man
is running for presidents.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Do you think this is fake?

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:08):
It feels like a movie. All right, Well, that is
again under the radar. We do have your way up
mixed coming at the top of the hour. Tomorrow is
the fiftieth anniversary of hip hop and we're going to
talk about that a little bit later.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
You guys are going to weigh in.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Also, I saw fifty cent was performing, and we'll tell
you what Ja Cole had to say about fifty cent
and the greatest album of all time.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
It's way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
She's like to talk like they Angela Jean, like they
Angela Jee Man.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
She's spilling it all. This is yea te way up.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yes, it is way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela
Yee and it's time for your Yea Tea now Twitch.
Darkas and Not for the first time, has spoken out
about what happened at Union Square Park last week. Remember,
he was supposed to be giving away these PlayStations. Thousands
of people ended up coming out. He didn't have any permits,
people were injured, arrested. Well, he went on his Twitch

(34:02):
live streaming. Here's what he had to say about the event.

Speaker 8 (34:05):
Bro.

Speaker 14 (34:05):
Beyond disappointed in anybody who became distructed that day.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Bro, none of that is cool.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
Bro.

Speaker 14 (34:11):
You feel what I'm saying. After the things that I've seen,
I'm beyond disappointed and the things that went on on Friday,
And I want people to know that none of that
was my intention. I had good intentions for this whole thing.
Not only that, but I don't condone any of the
things that.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Went on, all right. Well, in addition to that, he
was arrested and now he's scheduled to appear in court
on August eighteenth, by the way, for that unlicensed event.
All right. Some people were very upset that Bobby Altoff
got that interview with Drake. You recall that interview where
they were in the bed together and she has like

(34:47):
a dry sense of humor. Well, in a new interview
with Cosmopolitan, she talked about it, and some people were
calling her an industry plant. She said that she made
a TikTok video saying she would pay someone three hundred
dollars to successfully connect her to a celebrity for an
episode on her podcast. And she did the same thing

(35:08):
when she did Funny Marco, and Drake saw a clip
from that interview. He liked it on social media and
he also followed her on Instagram. She decided then that
she was going to DM him and shoot her shot.
She said, I DM Drake and asked if he wanted
to be on my podcast, and he said yes. He
sent me his touring schedule, and I knew that I
needed to make it happen fast. So my friend and

(35:28):
I flew to Memphis two days after the original DM
was set to record the episode.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
So that's how it happened, right, What did they say?
You missed one hundred percent of the shot?

Speaker 3 (35:36):
You don't take just.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Got to shoot?

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, listen, Elliott Wilson, that's what you gotta do. Send
that DM to droid. You know how many people after
they read this probably are like, let me go on
ahead and shoot my shot.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Might as well and see if I can make it happen.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
All right, Kanye West, he will not be having his
Yeezest Brand, Easy Brand, and foot Locker anytime soon. They
have rejected a restock of Yeezy. According to Complex, they
were supposed to get a shipment of Yeezys to its stores, but.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
They had a change of heart.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
They didn't want to get any backlash for associating with
Kanye West because of his anti Semitic remarks. If you
guys recall, they did say foot Locker does not tolerate
any form of anti Semitism or hateful and discriminatory behavior.
While we remain a partner with a dudas and carry
a wide assortment of their collections. We will not be
supporting any future Yeezy product drops, so that would explain

(36:27):
why you won't be able to find them there.

Speaker 8 (36:29):
All right.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Six ' nine was arrested in Florida after he failed
to appear in court. Joe reculd show that he did
get released from custody roughly three hours after he posted
a two thousand dollars bond, and this arrest was after
he was badly beaten at an La Fitness gym in
Palm Beach County. There was a viral video of the
attack that happened. He was taken to the hospital to
be treated for his injuries. He said that he was

(36:51):
jumped and now it looks like he's also upset about
the fact that in his mugshot it says that he
is a white male. Is to cost you a white male?

Speaker 1 (37:03):
I thought he was Mexican.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yeah, well, he said, I'm actually a N word NNGL
on academics page. All right, Now, Geezi is talking about
a time when he actually considered taking his own life
and what drove him to contemplate that idea. He sat
down with people to discuss his new book Adversity for sale,
and he talked about in his younger years, he did

(37:25):
this youth Challenge program after years of dealing drugs and
stealing cars, and he said the program was not a
walk in the park. You're basically in the marine so
or the army and people are telling you what to do.
You got to shine your boots. I don't know any
about anybody else, but I'm just not good at being
told what to do. And I'm coming from a place
where I'm basically a boss. But maybe a few weeks in,
I'm like, hold up, I'm working out. He said it

(37:47):
taught him some structure, it took him out of the
environment that he was in to become more focused. But
he just didn't have a plan, he said, I just
was going through the motions. And as a nine month
program came to a close, he said he was on
a fit to a naval base and he stood on
one of the ships. He said, I remember standing there
and saying to myself, Man, if you go back home

(38:07):
and you don't figure this out, because I don't want
to end up like my friends. My friends became junkies
and they were getting killed and all these things. So
it was all the stuff in my head. I just
remember standing there for a brief moment. I would say
at least about ten minutes. I actually contemplated jumping in
the water. He said, I'd never had suicidal thus, but
I thought, well, ish, if I just jump in the water,
I ain't got to deal with this. I ain't got
to go back home. I gotta do none of these things.

(38:28):
But clearly he didn't go through with this. Something said no, bro,
you're gonna have to man up. You're going to have
to go back home. You got to figure this out.
And when he left that youth program, he said he
felt like he.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Was ready for anything.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
So those programs do work. Yeah, okay, well that is
your yee t. And when we come back, let's talk
about what is trending right now? People are talking and
you know, every time I go online as I'm doing
the show, I'm always like, why is this trending?

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Why is Snoopy trending? Why is Hawaii trending?

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Well, we'll give you all of those updates on what
happening right now and what people are talking about.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
It's way up with Angela.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Yee I'm bad, you've ribbed a way up with Angela Yee. Yes,
it is way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee
and it's time for a newest segment on the show.
People are talking and this is where we discuss why
certain things are trending. Now. One thing that is trending
today is Snoopy, so of course I did a deeper

(39:23):
dive into that. And apparently today is Snoopy's birthday. So
happy birthday to Snoopy. His first appearance was at the
start of the nineteen fifties. Okay, so I don't know
how old Snoopy would be today, but he first appeared
in a comic strip in nineteen fifty and it said

(39:43):
happy birthday to him, and you can see that birthday
was August tenth, So happy birthday, Snoopy. I'm Hawaii is
trending and this is quite tragic. The death toll from
the fast moving wildfires in Hawaii has increased to thirty six.
Maui County officials said that blazers had been raging across Maui.
A lot of locals and visitors are trapped. There's also

(40:05):
strong winds, so while firefighting aircraft has dropped about one
hundred and fifty thousand gallons of water on the wildfires.
The winds, unfortunately, are dampering those efforts of trying to
put these wildfires out. Now, these wildfires are definitely very devastating.
The National Guard has been activated. Helicopters are looking for

(40:25):
those who have been left behind in areas without power,
without accessible roads. So right now, the immediate priority is
to save lives. According to officials, hundreds of families in
Maui have been displaced. There's been mass evacuations from schools,
widespread power outages, and the US Coast Guard did rescue
fourteen people from waters after they were forced into the

(40:47):
sea by fast approaching flames. So again, really tragic situation,
but that is why Hawaii is trending right now now.
Another thing that has been trending is Clarence Thomas. Justice
Clarence Thomas in the Supreme Court. Apparently, over the last
three decades he has been getting extensive gifts from his

(41:12):
wealthy friends, and the amount of these gifts is way
more than what's been previously known. According to a new
pro Publica report, I didn't know you could do this.
I didn't know that as a Supreme Court justice that
you can get gifts of this magnitude. Okay, now, he's
already under intense scrutiny for gifts that he got from
a mega donor, a GOP mega donor who treated Clarence

(41:33):
Simonson his wife to extravagant vacations, paid for the tuition
of one of his family members, and also entered into
an unusual real estate transaction related to Clarence Thomas's mother.
But Clarence Thomas did release a statement saying, as friends do,
we have joined them on a number of family trips
during the more than quarter century we have known them. Now,

(41:56):
according to Pro Publica, Clarence Thomas has gotten undisclosed gifts
from four billionaires. So these are things that were flying
under the radar. He didn't even disclose that these gifts
were given to him. That is open. Thirty eight destination vacations,
twenty six private jet flights, eight by helicopter, a dozen

(42:18):
VIP passes to professional and college sporting events, and two
stays at luxury resources in Florida and Jamaica. Apparently, he's
also scrutinized for an undis undisclosed loan that he received
that was reported by the New York Times last week
from a wealthy friend that was to pay for a
two hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars RV that he
purchased in nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Is that breaking the law?

Speaker 1 (42:43):
A great question, Hey, Dan, sounds fishy.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Yeah, so smoke this fire, because not only did he
get these gifts, he did not disclose them, all right.
And so ethics experts spoke to Pro Publica and they
said some of these things may not have required disclosure,
like if you host me at your personal home, that
may not required disclosure, but other types of gifts, like
the costly tickets to major sporting events and things like

(43:06):
that should have been reported. So we don't know what
the total value of the recently revealed gifts is, but
they said it's estimated to be likely in the millions
of dollars. I feel like that seems like some type
of uh some that it feels like something that should
be unethical type thing. And as a Supreme Court justice,

(43:28):
you should know that. And the fact that you did
not disclose that shows that you were trying to hide
something something. Yeah, all right, so we'll see what happens
with that. And those are your people are talking stories
and that's why certain things are trending. That Snoopy, Clarence
Thomas and Hawaii all over the place. All right, now,
we do want to talk about something. It is the
fiftieth anniversary of hip hop tomorrow. August eleventh is that date.

(43:52):
And fifty cent has been having these sellout tours, right
these sellout shows. Well, actually, one of the first, one
of the first tours I was on after Wou Tang
was fifty cent and Eminem just the f YI and
then fifty cent and jay Z when they were on tour.
That's when I was working for Eminem's clothing line and
also for his radio station. And j Cole came out

(44:13):
with fifty cent and here's what he had to say
about Get Richard Die Trying.

Speaker 8 (44:19):
Out.

Speaker 11 (44:20):
I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
It's kids at number one.

Speaker 10 (44:26):
It is through number.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
Jason, Really Gear Richard Trying is a classic album.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
It's up there.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Yeah, So that is definitely I can't argue with him
on that. What would you say is the greatest album
of all time? And I know he said Thrillers number two,
but let's keep it hip hop. Since it's the fiftieth
anniversary of hip hop.

Speaker 7 (44:49):
Tomorrow, Like me, personally, like my personal favorite album of
all time My Darks West of Fantasy by Kanye or
Good Kidnaged City by Kevin.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
I knew you were gonna say Good kid Man City.
Between the two, that's a great album yours. All right,
I'm gonna tell you when we come back, because it's great.
Yeah as a woman, you know, I guess yeah, all right,
eight hundred and two, nine fifty one fifty You can
also tell us when you come back, what do you
think is the greatest album of all time as far
as hip hop? All right? J Cole gave it to

(45:20):
fifty cent and gave him his flowers. Get Richard die
try and we want to hear what you think. It's
way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
It's from the volume up, y'all be way up with
Angela Ye. Break them come break them down more now down.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
Yes, it is way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
I'm Angela Yee And we are talking about the fiftieth
anniversary of hip hop. Jay Cole recently performed on stage
with fifty cent and at fifty cent show, he gave
him his flowers and here's what he had to say
about fifty having the best hip hop album, well, the
best album period, not just hip hop.

Speaker 8 (45:59):
One.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
All right, So people are talking about what their favorite
album as in hip hop of all time is. I
see y'all gonna put this on Okay, Little Kim hrcore
definitely for me. Also, the Miseducation of Lauren Hill was
definitely one of my favorites. I'm gonna also say, of course,
Enter the Wu Tang Wu Tang was my first job

(46:30):
that I ever had, and part of why I was
excited to work there was because of that particular album,
and that came out around the same time. I think
all Matic came out right after that, so that was
a great time for some classic albums. Ready to Die
came out around that time. What about you, Dan, You
said Good Kid, Mad City.

Speaker 7 (46:49):
I'm torn between Good Kid, Mad City by Kendrick and
Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye. But the more I think
about it, I definitely listened to Good Kid, Mad City more.
I think like as time got has gone on, I
appreciated how ahead of its time Dark Tis a Fantasy was.
But if I had to pick one, I'm going Good
Kidnat City.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Yeah, I feel like my picks are very East Coast. Yeah,
you know a lot of it because if I would
have grown up on the West Coast, maybe I would
have said The Chronic. You know, maybe I would have
said Doggy Style because those are classic albums too. But
I think for impact on your life, that's why this
is all subjective, right to who you are and what's

(47:32):
meant a lot to you growing up. Another album, I
would say, I'm such a Wu Tang like Kid only
built for Cuban links, liquid swords. Those were all classic albums.
To ghost Face, you know, also had a classic album.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
I grew up listening to Marshall Mathers LP.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Yeah, Marshall Mathers. See I's a little bit older, so
and you know what else was had a big impact
for me. Also Childe called Quest and for me like
The Low End Theory or Midnight Mara's a It's hard
to say which one because they're so different.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
If you had to pick one album and you is
your favorite hip hop album of all time?

Speaker 4 (48:08):
One, See, that's a hard thing for me to say.

Speaker 18 (48:12):
You know.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
If I have to pick one favorite, I'm gonna have
to say it probably would be The Miseducation of Laurence
Hill because it did have a bit of everything on there,
But we want to see what you guys have to
say as far as what you think is the best
album no matter what is the fiftieh anniversary of hip hop,
So let's just talk about favorite hip hop album of

(48:35):
all time? So let's talk to Aleric. How are you?

Speaker 10 (48:39):
I'm good?

Speaker 17 (48:40):
I'm good, I'm good.

Speaker 10 (48:40):
How are you? Y?

Speaker 3 (48:41):
How good?

Speaker 15 (48:42):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (48:42):
What do you think is the best hip hop album
of all time?

Speaker 17 (48:45):
I'm gonna have to agree with J Cole fifty get
Richard Dych Bryan. I'm looking at the track list right now.
After I heard your question and like I already knew it,
but I had something for the club and the club
pi mp hey guys, something for like the ladies with
twenty one question And I'm not a dog. But when
I listened to like what Up Gangster, and you know,
I feel like, yeah, you feel like one, So I

(49:07):
gotta go with and get Richard.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
I trying definitely all right, give me a number two,
so because I feel like, also, you just heard J
Colcy that then you went and looked and was like,
damn all these things.

Speaker 17 (49:17):
I try to be downb but I definitely have to
go then with with a Biggie Ready to Die.

Speaker 11 (49:22):
I mean, okay, damn, we might have to.

Speaker 17 (49:24):
Replace that number one. I mean that's the classic there,
that's the classic one, and then fifty Get Richard by
Trying is like a little newer.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Okay, all right, well, thank you, Aleric, thank you. Boo Year.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
How you doing?

Speaker 11 (49:38):

Speaker 19 (50:35):
No, actually, not like I'm a real hip hop head,
you know, Happy birthday to hip hop. I've listened to
a lot of albums that I feel like it's the
best because it's truly complete. It gives you a little
bit of everything. You get a little bit of the streets,
you got the mainstream hits with in the club and
all of that. And I never want to skip. There's
no songs that I want to skip.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
There's definitely no skips. All right, go hip hop. It's
your birthday.

Speaker 9 (51:02):

you're the first one that called him said.

Speaker 10 (51:54):
That easy Wayne. Wayne is the goat. That's hot. It's
not even debatable, and he's still music exactly. I don't
think there's any skits on the Carter three. And it
was like, boy, I mean, it's not as high as
uh selling as get Rich of Die Trying, but man
when I yeah, never mind, we don't even get into
all that. Carter three to me, greatest hip by the

(52:16):
album of wal time.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Okay, you know it's hard. Sometimes it's hard to figure out,
like with Lil Wayne, which one is his best album too?

Speaker 10 (52:23):
No, Carter three have everything around that time, Like you
got the lollipop, you got the three P which is
just lapping.

Speaker 11 (52:31):
He's just straight.

Speaker 10 (52:32):
He got the jay Z feature, like I don't know,

nine two fifty one fifty is a number.

Speaker 11 (53:35):
Hello, Hi, Hey, is this I can't say my name?
They said I didn't have to, but you don't have
to what I'm about to share?

Speaker 3 (53:44):
Uh oh, all right, Well I'm here for it. Let's
let's hear your question for ask ye.

Speaker 11 (53:49):
Okay, So anyway can afternoon yee. So here's the thing
me and my male friend were being intimate, you know,
sexually intimate, and basically I had a little bit of
a shart during the sessions, right, like a full log.
Well it was like a half a log.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 11 (54:14):
It was very embarrassing, I'm telling you. And so now
he's acting a little bit weird, like I want to say,
a little distant.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
I mean, it's not a full on ghost, but it's probably.

Speaker 11 (54:28):
I mean, I think that's highly possible. I just hope that,
I mean, I don't even know if you can answer
this question, but I just hope that he and I
could get back on track, you know what I mean, because.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
It's so nobody addressed it. What happened when it?

Speaker 18 (54:42):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (54:43):
When?

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Yeah? Like what did you stop? Did you say anything?
Did you say sorry?

Speaker 14 (54:49):
Like?

Speaker 3 (54:49):
What what happened?

Speaker 8 (54:51):
So?

Speaker 11 (54:51):
Yeah, so basically the log dropped and I kind of
put my hand on it by mistake. That's how I
know it happened. And I was like, oh my god.
I was like, you know, oh my god, don't cut
the light on. And so he cut the light on
it on purpose because I said don't, right, Yeah, So
he's like right, He's like, oh my god, He's like,
are you are you oka? Are you embarrassed? And I

(55:13):
was like, I'm very embarrassed, and so we both got up.
We together took the sheets off and I took a shower,
and then it just was awkward.

Speaker 10 (55:22):
After that.

Speaker 11 (55:23):
We didn't we didn't continue like with our intimacy. We
kind of stopped for the night.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Well, yeah, that might kill the mood. Whose house was
this that we were actually at a room? Okay, good,
so nobody's sheets was ruined. It wasn't yours or his.

Speaker 8 (55:38):
No.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
All you can do at a point like this is
make a joke. You know, you should send him a
text message with the poop emodi and put that you
know it is happens and are we still cool?

Speaker 11 (55:51):
We love that?

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Yeah, I think all you can do is acknowledge it,
make a joke, and then you know, try to move
past it. Yeah, and be like I promise you, Like,
I know this is a cliche line, but this is
the first time this has ever happened to me.

Speaker 11 (56:04):
You just got to be it really is the first time.
We had just went out. Not to cut you off,
but we had just went out to dinner for my birthday,
and I think that the food that we had. It
just kind of ran right through me, like literally, yeah,
so I think that's what happened.

Speaker 10 (56:19):
So yeah, yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Sorry for the birthday poop. You know, maybe that can
be a new tradition. You just got to make a
joke out of it so everybody can be more comfortable
to talk about it, right, because sometimes we just try
to move past something no one addresses it, and then
it's awkward, and you just got to like put it
out there the same way you put that log out there.

Speaker 4 (56:40):
Put it out there.

Speaker 11 (56:42):
I got you. I appreciate you. Ye, And that is
a good suggestion. I'm definitely gonna do that because, like
I said, it's not a full on ghost. It's not
like he's all the way ghosting me, but it's definitely
like you know, it's awkward.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Yeah, it's like a half a ghost, like you're half
a poop.

Speaker 10 (56:57):
Stop.

Speaker 3 (57:01):
Thank you? Yeah, no problem, Good luck with that. This
don't sound like anything that you can't get past.

Speaker 18 (57:09):
You know.

Speaker 10 (57:10):
Good.

Speaker 11 (57:10):
I'm glad to hear you say that. Thank you. I
appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
All right, no problem that was asked.

Speaker 11 (57:14):
I'm good you too.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
Eight hundred two nine fifty fifty is a number in
case you couldn't get through and you have a question,
you can always still call us up and leave a
message because guess what next Up we got last word.
That's where you guys get to have the last word
every single day. It's Way Up with angela Ye.

Speaker 16 (57:30):
Take up the phone tapying to get your voice heard.

Speaker 13 (57:34):
What the word is?

Speaker 4 (57:36):
He is the last word on Way Up with Angela Yee?

Speaker 3 (57:39):
What's up this Way Up with angela Ye? I'm Angela Yee.
And Happy Thursday, everybody. That's our one more day until
the weekend is finally here. Tomorrow is a special day though.
It is the fiftieth anniversary of hip Hop and Fab
five Freddy is going to be up here joining us
just to go through some hip hop history.

Speaker 8 (57:57):
You know.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
He was the first ever host for YO and TV Raps.
He produced the movie Wild Style, and so just a
lot of hip hop history there. I can't even get
into all of it because he's done pretty much everything.
He's one of the producers for like New Jack City,
for Juice. He was in Juice. So we'll have a
lot to talk about tomorrow for the fiftieth anniversary of
hip hop and shout out to everybody who called in today.

(58:21):
We were talking about our favorite hip hop albums of
all time. That's a really hard question to ask because
it's just from different time periods, different feelings that you
might have had when you listen to something. For me,
as a woman, I know that there were certain women
that I really gravitated toward. And right now women are
killing it when it comes to hip hop, and that's
a fact. Also, I saw some breaking news Coach and

(58:44):
Michael Cores. They are merging and an eight point five
billion dollar deal. They're going to be creating a new
US luxury fashion empire, so that should be an interesting
one to see. I can't wait to see what they
create because sometimes you'll be trying to talk down on
Coach and on Michael, but those are pretty solid brands
that have been around for a long time, so this
could be interesting. All right, will you guys again? As usual,

(59:08):
y'all always have the last word. Eight hundred two ninety
two fifty one fifty isn't number. Call this up in
case you couldn't get through for Shina Light. Maybe you
want to tell us a secret, Maybe you have an
ask Yee question, Maybe you want to call him weigh
in on something that we talked about earlier today.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
Whatever you want to do, this is your show.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
It's way up with Angela Ye eight hundred two ninety
two fifty one fifty last word.

Speaker 12 (59:29):
Hey, this Mandy from Gary, Indiana. I want to shine
a light on my husband, Mankeith Sermon, for being the
great man that he is. He has a birthday coming

the past couple of months. So I let you know

Speaker 10 (01:00:15):

Speaker 13 (01:00:19):

I'm gonna go out on the limb man. My first
cassette tape I ever bought was EPMD strictly business.

Speaker 10 (01:00:29):
Bas in my top five.

Speaker 13 (01:00:30):
Outside of that, man, I would have to really do
a lot of thinking.

Speaker 11 (01:00:34):
And remembering on music that fifty get rich of.

Speaker 13 (01:00:37):
Die Triump was hard too though.

Speaker 10 (01:00:38):
All right, y'all have a good one.

Speaker 11 (01:00:40):
Hey, this is Quintin from Pattis.

Speaker 8 (01:00:43):
Nah.

Speaker 10 (01:00:44):
It ain't no way somebody drop a shard while we're
being intimate.

Speaker 11 (01:00:48):
Nah, I can't message them no more.

Speaker 10 (01:00:50):
The man ain't never gonna look.
