Speaker 2 (03:28):
It is out? I think it came out.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
He had the screening and the premiere and now it's out,
but we'll talk about this new documentary and things that
happened to him that actually made him do this right.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
And I'm sure y'all got some crazy stand stories too.
We want to hear Rai stories. All right, let's do
all that when we come back. It's way up, it
says in the rooms from industry shade.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
To all of gossip out.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Angela's spelling that yet, Angela yee? I mean with my friends.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yes, listen, I had somebody check to see if you

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Tap he checked for you. Let me.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
Why would you check for me?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
You know why I can't be on the tea ap
we nobody. Yeah, but it has experiences and then you
get red flat.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
I'm not on let me check.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
But anyway, let's get into some yet. So Eminem, you know,
his Stands documentary is in theaters right now, but it's
a limited run. It's only until the tenth and then
it'll be on Paramount Plus. But he talked about an
experience at a mall in LA with his daughter. He
said things, you know, started off small. He's going shopping.
Everywhere he went, it turned into a bigger and bigger
crowd and they had to end up leaving. And then

(04:44):
he also talks about crying because he missed his daughter's
recital because he overdosed in two thousand and seven and
after that, that's when he was like, he woke up
in the hospital.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
He didn't know what happened.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
He said, I need something, and that's when he managed
to get sober. Last year he celebrate is sixteen years sober.
So that's all in that stands documentary. Now I want
to ask about stands because that's something every celebrity has
dealt with absolutely.

audition for a movie.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Here's what he said.

Speaker 10 (15:33):
The only thing I've ever auditioned for was SNL, Right,
but a movie never never. When I say that, I
can't think that no actor can make such a bold
statement that they only had one one audition their whole life.
It makes other actors sick.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Though. That's a big deal, you know, is that my
favorite star? You had a run? That's your favorite for
real Eddie Murphy.

Speaker 4 (15:56):

Wagons came out because Brandy had the g Wagon ten
years before it came out.

Speaker 2 (16:55):

Speaker 4 (16:58):
He's like, Ray, I need you to take me down

hops in. I'm driving Eddie to the next spot. We
hang out at the next spot for a minute.

Speaker 2 (17:09):

Speaker 4 (17:14):
At the next spot, I mean, I said, I don't
know if he remembers this. No, no, no, That's all
I can say, because I mean we moved around. I
don't want to say word spot was at where I
dropped him off for nothing, because you know what I'm saying,
He don't homie.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
You know what I'm saying. And I'm a fan. Okay,
I feel yo, Eddie. I'm gonna need you to back
me on this one.

Speaker 7 (17:34):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
I'm gonna need you to remember, man. I do remember
Eddie Murphy all right?

Speaker 7 (17:41):
Well?

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Remember I came to the house and then did you
need it? A ride and the g Wagon.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Yeah, the g for it was out. It was the
four door that you you know, you you you said
that you had God showed people to Tudor. He was like, wow, okay,
take me down the street.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
All right, Well when we come back. That was your
e t We have under the radar. These are the
series that are not necessarily and the headlines. They're flying
under the radar, but you need to know about them.
I saw Thatchine store that pop up opened in Atlanta,
and that looked like it was wild. That looked like
waiting to get in the club, the hottest club in
the world.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
All right, we'll talk about it. It's way up the news.

Speaker 8 (18:15):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar, all right, way.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Up with Angela yee, I'm here, Mayno's here, Raje dar
ray j. Let's get into some of these under the
radar stories. There's a Sheene pop up store in Atlanta
that just open. And when I tell you, I don't
know if y'all have seen what it looks like outside
of this machine store. Of course, when I tell you
that Sheen is like fast fashion, like a fashion novu.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
What the girls were, but it might be even a
little cheaper.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Right, Yeah, I think it's a little seper sheen, like
the sprite loves the I s h E, I n A,
I am like shine. Yeah, so they're testing the waters
with this pop up store.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
You know, I think this is all matters too, because
a lot of people were upset about tar riffs kicking in,
and now stuff that used to be really cheap is
more expensive, like groceries and stuff like fashion.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
No.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah, now it depends on who you ask. You know,
for rich people maybe, but for people who don't have
it like that. You know, people are out of work,
people are struggling to buy groceries.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I think it's turn around. So we'll see about that.
I think it's turning around.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
You know, Black women are getting laid off at a
higher rate than anybody else.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
It's been a really tough time for a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
But the Justice Department has also just opened an investigation
into Tish James, New York Attorney General Leticia James. It's
part of a criminal investigation. He doesn't you know, he
has an issue with her because she want a civil
for a case against him here in New York. So
now he is turning it around and investigating her. The
grand jury probe into her is said to be looking

(19:51):
into deprivation of rights Jesus, which means violating someone's constitutional
rights against Trump.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
They're also trying to get Jason Lee too, for the
fifty k. That story with Jason Lee fifty and funding
to do something for wild'n Out.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
People were allegedly people were questioning though, like Okay, well
didn't this bring money into the city and didn't this
help I don't know the ins and outs of that case.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
I just I mean, yeah, I just threw it out
there because I'm a journalist. I was going through my notes.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
I was like, yeah, okay, there's some other stuff I
found too.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
You definitely have your reality show reality check News. Yeah,

Speaker 4 (20:32):
He did one, and then we got Neo on what
I Need. We got Keisha Cole on a song.

Speaker 10 (20:37):

DJ Campor produced the whole thing with me. Like it's
super dope. It's like the best work I've done. It's
like the Radiation twenty year. It's coming out like around
holiday time.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
I love that ray J got his I just want
to say when we first launched, just like you've had
an integral part in my career. Earlier on launching Way
Up with Ye, you were in here guests hosting early
on and we had an amazing launch party.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
You were like, what, you're not having a party to
launch your show. I'll put it together for you.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
You're amazing you. You are to thank you all right
and love the show. And remember, man, know you were
at that party too.

Speaker 6 (21:12):
That's what we started.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
That's what we created. The saying new Man started that
came from the ray Ja party.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
You should do a toast for that.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
We should celebrate you know what.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
We're gonna do a toast right now. And while that
is playing, we're gonna do the Way Up mixing the
top of the hour. Plus it's a new music Friday.
There's new music out today. We got to talk about
ask Ye is also on the way, and of course
we got to talk to ray J because you just
gave us a little bit of tea about the anniversary.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
We're gonna get some more.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Yeah, I want to play the song. I know it

the one which anniversar we with Jockuee's and get it at.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
It all right, we'll do that in a minute, just

Speaker 7 (21:58):
All this is ye way off.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, yeah, Budy angela yee ye Yeah. We're main O.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Ray J gonna be rejoining us shortly. But let's get
into this ee T. First, let's talk about j I D.
He was on Joe Button and he talked about a
lot of different things. For instance, you know, he has
the album out today it's New Music Friday, but he
also has an album that he hasn't put out, and
he talked about it for the first time.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Here's what he said.

Speaker 7 (22:28):
Okay, everyone, every one, Me and Cole.

Speaker 11 (22:30):
Got a body, a fifteen track schmoker, me and him
back and forth in New York.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
I ain't never told nobout.

Speaker 7 (22:35):
It's sorry Cole.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
And also the fall off' is gonna be really good
ya all right?

Speaker 3 (22:40):
So J Cole and Jed apparently have a collab album together.
In addition to that, he talked about J Cole really
making sure that the artists on dream Bill get taken
care of. They had a whole conversation about ownership. Here's
what Jaid had to say about Jay Cole as far as.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Being a label owner.

Speaker 7 (22:56):
Cole looked out for everybody that was a part of
his dream.

Speaker 11 (22:59):
If he's that was a part of it, don't want
to do music and they want to move on with
their life, they would be good.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
That's fine.

Speaker 7 (23:05):
Real the industry, we won't.

Speaker 11 (23:06):
Talk about apology thirty more times. That is the greatest
I know. Hell and so their subsidiaries or whatever.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
And ran off.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
So we talked about Jaco basically selling Dreamville and making
sure all the artists we're going to be good, whereas
if we never want to do nothing again will be okay.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
That's dope.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
That's really dope.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, that's amazing to me. That's not really what happens.

Speaker 7 (23:30):
Yeah, not at all.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
And let me tell you, like normally, whenever you hear
somebody talking about Jaco, it's always a positive story about
their interaction doing business with him.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
So we commend him for that. All right.

Speaker 11 (23:42):
Now.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Adrian Bilin was on in Real Life Angie Martinez his podcast,
and she was talking about what she's going through as
far as menopause.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's pretty early for her to be going through that.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Here's what she said, that I'm sweating so baduse'.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yes, and it's so bad. I did six years of
IVF and then like when you stop that, it triggers
your body to believe that, Like, oh, I have some
friends who have gone through that, So it comes earlier
than normal.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
Damn.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
She too young to be going desert on us.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Well, she talked about, Yeah, the IVF kind of triggered
that to come on earlier. And there's people who go
through paramenopause for like years before they actually go through menopause.
Being a woman is a hard thing and I feel
like it's something that was never really talked about before,
but now it is a lot more. I was out
to dinner at a business meeting and the woman I
was meeting with she was in the bathroom. She texts

(24:37):
me like, Hey, can you please bring me some ice?
In the bathroom she was literally dripping with sweats, you know,
going through paramenopause.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Wow. Yeah, all right.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Well, lastly, a twenty million dollar defamation lawsuit that was
filed by him Alita Tillman against Shannon Shop, Chad Johnson
and their podcast has been dismissed. This happened in federal court,
and the suit was from where she said she was
mischaracterized as being married and divorcing after that viral Usher
concert moment. Well, she is satisfied with how the matter

(25:10):
was resolved and she does want to move forward.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
And she did commend them for that. So it looks
like it was dismissed, but probably something happened outside. Yes,
so there you go, and that is your Yet.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
When we come back, it is a new music Friday,
so we're going to talk about albums that are out today,
new singles that are amazing that are out today.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
It's a good day for music, though.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
I have to say when you hear this list of
new projects that's dropping today, it's way.

Speaker 8 (25:38):
Up with its relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
As gee, what's up? His way up with Angela?

Speaker 7 (25:49):
Yee.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
I'm here with the award winning advice giving me now
and our guy Ray Jay is back in the building,
and we have somebody calling anonymously for ask ye, what's
your question?

Speaker 6 (26:00):
Sleeping with my fiance best friend and we're getting married
and I'm trying to break it off with her. I
don't know if I break it off with her to
say something.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
You're trying to break it off with the best friend
with the best friend, Yeah, but he's nervous she might
say something to his to the fiana.

Speaker 12 (26:16):
Know what you should do is is tell your best
tell the best friend to have a conversation with with
the fiance and you can have both.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
Of them for that.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I don't know if she's gonna go for that either.
Do you want to get married?

Speaker 12 (26:30):
Honestly, Well, ain't getting married because we're having a baby.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
Together and so he's not a law I don't know.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
So that's how I'm asking you. Do you even want
to be married? Because if you don't, you shouldn't.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (26:42):
I really don't want to, But I mean I don't
want to have to deal with child support and deal
with all that.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Like I don't know, child support is a minor thing.
When it comes.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
You might pay more trying to get a divorce and
split up things than you were paying child support.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, it shouldn't be just about finances.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
You're supposed to get married because you love somebody and
you want to spend the rest of your life with them.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
You're a dirty guy. Yeah, you're going into this. You're
a dirty guy.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
Are ready but the real question is do you think
I'm a dirty guy. I'm dirty?

Speaker 5 (27:20):
He called it like he already kind of new water rug.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
You know, do you like the best friend better?

Speaker 10 (27:26):
No, honestly, it was just we got the house together,
we played together, and that it did like how.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Many times did you hit it after I take it died? Also,
you have second Yeah, sure you're a dirty guy.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
But you know, I want to say this, if you
care about this woman as a mother, if you're a
child at all, you're not doing her.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
No favor by marrying somebody you don't want to be.

Speaker 6 (27:44):
Right, she don't like having pigs or your white girl.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
She doesn't like having sex. It could, but you know
how old is the baby? No, she's pregnant.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Okay, she like having sex with you. Because it seems
like it's off.

Speaker 12 (28:01):
He should be able to bring him together because they're
already best friends.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
They probably share a lot. That's the last off I'm
trying to tell you.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
You got to do it anyway. You're trying to shut
it all up together.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Don't marry somebody you don't want to be with. And
you know it already, Yeah you got I mean, I'm
already screwed.

Speaker 6 (28:17):
Anyway.

Speaker 10 (28:17):
I mean, if I tell her, what's the word that's
gonna happen?

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Are you definitely screwed? You've definitely been screwing. And nobody
wants to raise a child in a relationship with their
parents are not in love if you don't have.

Speaker 7 (28:31):
To, Yeah, that's my thing.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
Like, I don't want to. I don't want to put
her through.

Speaker 9 (28:34):
That, my child through that.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
You know, I don't think about just yourself.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
You already you just did.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
If you just put your child through it, you just
put her through it. She knows your voice. This is
one of the makeshim to deal with her home, dealing
with it today. Bro, I'm a therapist, all right.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Well, thank you for calling eight hundred two ninety two

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Its way up at Angela Yee. I'm here, my guy
Mano's here, and my other friend ray J's.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
I love being here.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
This is one of my favorite places to be.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
I love it here. I always appreciate you for every
time you're in town. You definitely hit me up. You
know I'm gone too. And then even if you're not
gonna make it your call early in the morning and
be like, I don't know if I should come today.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
I'm too lit gee what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
But let's talk about what you are doing in town
right now.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yes, I'm in town promoting this new single. It's called
let Again with Tray Hongs, Feather and Nia Like. It's
a real banger other.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Than that One Wish twenty year anniversary.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Also, yes, it's twenty years of One Wish right, and
we have the new one Witch Anniversary project. It's all
the songs out there on radiation over again. I got
a really dope new version of Melody, blue Eye heels
what I Need and a few bonus songs that I
got some really dope features. But it's a pure like
classic R and B album. I take it back to

(30:12):
like you know, the music that they like starting to
bring back anyway at all the parties and stuff.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
So R and B music is back with this one.
This is my best work, my best vocals.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
So yes, the anniversary album, and I have a few
albums coming right after that, just uncut and uncalled for that.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
But this one is a really positive I tell you
did the interview with Cam Newton, you said that might
be your last.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Interview, my last interview in that capacity.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
You know what I'm saying, Like I hit you like
I gotta come see you, and I feel like this
is like you know we are here, just you don't
having fun with promoting. You have this theme that's different
from like a loud moment, Like whenever you say give
me a loud moment, I will. But I feel like
this is a good place to just kind of like
be be free and be pleased.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
You want to give a moment, I.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Would rather not, But I like where y J is
just who he is because this is what yeah he does,
he does. If you want me to give you one
on what was it's kind of early. But yeah, right
now Mayna and I are talking to our guy ray J.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
But I do want to say on that interview, you
talked about a lot of different things that I've never
really heard you address in that manner.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
So how did you feel after you did that? Do
you feel like it was a therapeutic for you?

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Because when I watched it, I was up par and
I was saying I feel like with ray J, people
don't understand there are a lot of things that you've
been through that the average person will never have to
deal with.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
And sometimes people think when you're famous, it doesn't matter
as much, but I feel like, you know, it's just
a lot of things it's so vulnerable about.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Yeah, I was going through it that day, and some
days when I'm doing when I'm like that, I probably
should just chill. I've been having those kinds of days lately.
But I think we're coming around to to some kind
of redemption, hopefully and in their future where I can
just be at peace with my daughter and my son
and then I could just be happy forever. But I'm
not all the way there yet, but we working hard
towards getting to that, to that final point.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
So, okay, I'm glad to hear that, and I'm also
the Tronics network. You also have an interview that's about
to drop soon to find the conversation with Mesika and
Hazel E.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yeah, it's called the Final Convo. It's like a throwoff
of our other show. But this is the probably the
biggest interview we've done that we shot is crazy. We
did part one and two because they really don't like
you to tell you that I know, and I'm trying
to get them to do the one where they hug
and still what they just it wasn't They don't want
me to play these episodes, but I told them I
have to plan. We have to move past where we've
been and move into.

Speaker 7 (32:31):
What we want to be.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
So I got a plan that coming out starting on
the twentieth, and then I'm doing auditions for all the
rest of the shows on Tronics moving forward and just
letting the community and the crowd shape the network how they.

Speaker 7 (32:42):
Wanted to be.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Well, ray Ja is here.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
He's got a lot going on. We're keeping it positive though.
That's the that's the ray j we like. When we
come back, we got more with him. It's way up
with Angela yee ye, what.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
You all been waiting for.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
His way up with Angela yee and Manos here and
so is ray J Reality Tech News.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
You've been doing that too. Yeah, I'm a journalist. Yeah,
he's a journalist. I'm an anchor to you and I
would love for you to have a show. You know,
when ray J was first coming up here, we thought
he was going to do his own radio show. Well, yeah,
I wanted to do it. I still want to do it.
I gotta.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
I've been reaching out the THEA and on the sideline
and like yo, I got my sign up saying I'll
start small, I'll start interning. Here's the thing, you have
a whole network to run.

Speaker 6 (33:26):
Start intern he will.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
That would be a show right there. Ray Je to intern?

Speaker 6 (33:31):
Well, you know.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Though, I think he's better as a boss. Some people
can't be an intern.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Can you imagine not saying ray Je to go to
the store, I don't know when he's coming back.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Oh no, I'll come right back and I'll and I'll
bring back everything you wanted plus and pick up the people.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I'll be the best intern because listen.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
Forty five minutes later, we still looking for Reggie.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Look, look, without the interns and the assistance, and there
can be no business. I agree with that, but I
major operation. Guess I would be feeling like I'm I'm
a part of something major being at the top intern,
So I wouldn't be an intern, be the top intern.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Well, next time you're here, we would love to test
that out. I would love that. I love that.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
I don't have any problem, very humble.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
I'll get everybody food and sandwiches and make sure everybody's okay.
Let's test that out. I promise you I have no problem.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
And you know what, everybody listening is nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
I used to go get I used to go get
Diddies sandwiches early in the morning Forum for real, and
I used to it was almost like the cheesecake thing.
But I'm like, I'm gonna go do it myself.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
I was an amazing intern and amazing assistant.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
I went above and beyond just before you got this
was before that. Yes, I interned at MTV. I interned
a lot of places. I was Diddy's interns.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Have you spoken to Diddy?

Speaker 4 (34:53):
I mean, look, I've been focused on just making sure
I put out the positive words. You know what I mean,
and make sure I'm an advocate for what's right and
what's wrong.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Okay, So have you spoken to him? Okay? Ray, So
that's that's your answer. There's no answer. I want to
talk to him, Okay, he wants to All right, Well, listen, Jie,

Think I've conversated with everybody and they know that I'm
all on a very positive page and I love it.
That's good, even through the storm. You know, I love everybody,
even through the trough.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
I will say, even when Raj falls out with people,
he manages to get back in there.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
I have nothing but the utmost respect. I was good
to see Fab in the studio.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
We shook hands. He was creating with.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
Trey and it's all love and you know, I play
my part over here, you know, and you gotta just
do that no matter what the circumstances were. When you
get older, you got to make sure you squash it
and talk it out. And that's throughout all of the
crazy friction and stuff like this is what who I
really am.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before.
