Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the SS Experience on SNG Recording and progress.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
What up nough You listen to SS Experience streaming on
the SMG Podcast Network app. Download the SMG Podcast Network
ap on all your Apple devices Android, I'm getting to
you listen to SS Experience wherever you get podcasts like
Amazon Music, Samsung Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Tune In Radio, and
the usual suspects Spotify and the Our Heart Radio app.
(00:39):
Don't forget the rate review, subscribe, rerate re review, resubscribe, download, unsubscribed,
subscribe again. Keep that process going over and over and
over again. So the algorithm con thin to be popping
out here in these digital streets. We outside again with
another podcast, cause yeah, we're actually getting paid to do
these episodes whenever we do these episodes. So you know
what we're gonna do. We're gonna keep giving you a
(01:01):
whole bunch of episodes, but we're gonna talk about real
stuff that we're not going to just waste your time for,
you know, thirty five to forty five minutes. It's going
to be actually some real good stuff. So what I
want to do is I want to start with something
that's very, very tragic that happened, which it's weird. It's
real weird. So out in DC, I think it's a
(01:23):
it was either Dullest or Ronald Reagan. I think it
was dullest. Though. A helicopter, a military helicopter and a
small airplane aircraft carrier basically collided and everybody died mass explosion. Currently,
Cruise are in the Potomac River right now, digging through
the water the river. Obviously about saying the Potomac River
(01:46):
digging through the ocean, crazy salt water, but anyway, not
the time to do a joke. But they are in
the Potomac River right now trying to, you know, get
bodies of stuff like that, because there were sixty people
on the aircraft along with the two pilots and then
the three individuals that was in the chopper, so a
(02:08):
lot of bodies that they have to dig up. And
I was talking with one of my co workers who
told me some stuff off the record, because she's actually
in this whole news world and all of that.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
But I ain't gonna tell y'all what she told me.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But people have already had said that it wasn't supposed
to have happened, you know, the the government people who
was monitoring that airspace along with the airport that was
monitoring that airspace, should have been on the same page
and been like, nah, this ain't cool for none of
y'all to go through. But you know, you got the military.
(02:45):
You know, you can't be on an active military channel
listening to the military bus moves, and at the same
time you're not supposed to be, you know, listening to
the air control people, you know, telling when airplanes are
supposed to be landing because of stuff like this. So
it's a lot of bad communication on both sides. And
I guess I have to agree with President Trump on
(03:08):
this one. This could have been avoided. So it's one
of those things that just makes me hate airplanes. Now again,
I was talking to my news reporter friend, and you know,
there's always the because I always say, Lastie, that's the
main reason I do not like to fly, and then
everyone always wants to say, well, you're more than likely
(03:28):
to die in a car crashing in an airplane, and
it's like, yeah, but that's bad math this because there's
more people out there driving the cars than there is
flying the chopper. And it always seems that when the
air I've said this all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
When the airplane goes down, we're all dead, straight up
and down. There's no if ends or butts about it.
Anytime plane go up and plane doesn't go down the
same way it went up.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
All going down we're all fucking dead. So that's why
I just be I mean, I fly because of the.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Convenience of flying.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know, a nine hour drive takes an hour and
forty five minutes, give it take, you know, give it
take the you know, the aerodynamics of the airplane and
all of that. But I just it's just one.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Of the main reasons why I shoot hate planes.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I mean, I can go to plenty of bad plane
you know time frames. Obviously, I'm not gonna do the
main one that you guys are thinking that I'm gonna mention. No,
I'm not gonna mention that tragic day in two thousand
and one. No, I'm not gonna do that. You know,
I'm not gonna mention you know, passenger fifty seven or
snakes on a plane, you know, I mean, it's it's
(04:46):
some bullshit. It's a lot of bullshit that goes on
on airplanes. But prayers out there the people, you know,
I believe they were from Kansas and they were skaters
or something like that. It was obviously it was fresh
in my mind when I when I cut the micro on,
but I know they was from Kansas for sure. There
(05:06):
was a team of you know, of individuals, So just
prayers out to them. Man, that just sucks when and
again it's just like the Kolbe you know that we
just had that five year anniversary a couple of days ago.
When you're living your life and you just you ain't
doing nothing wrong, you ain't doing nothing crazy. You just
living your life trying to be the best person that
(05:26):
you can be, and something like that happens, and that
always makes me question, like real talk, like and I'm
not trying to make this like a religious conversation because
it's not that type of party, but sometimes you have
to really you have to think, like if this is
all part of God's plan, you know, all of our
you know, God knows the beginning and the end and
all this other stuff, then why like the what life
(05:51):
purpose did some of Like I always think about when
people die young, it's like, so what was their young purpose?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Like did they do?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Like were they just supposed to make somebody more responsible
to something like that was their life and then death
supposed to make somebody, you know, move in a certain way,
like like, for example, if you talk about George Floyd forever,
I know George Floyd was older, but if you're saying like, dang,
like your purpose was to go out like that, to
(06:19):
be you know, a knee to your neck.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
In front of the whole world.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Now, if you get George Floyd, laws and all of
that stuff to come from it, and it's like, okay,
that's what your life was worth. Your life was to
be used to provide us with a law and a
play like okay, you know what, just like the and
this is something that really happened, you know, which why
didn't happen to George Floyd?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, because he's black.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
The Lincoln Riley Act, the thing that Trump had just
signed in the law that had something to do with
you know, when illegal immigrants have been charged with crimes,
whether this country or their home country, they get the
fuck up out of here asap. So you know, you
could say, well, Danny, she lives. That was her now,
(07:03):
so that can't happen to anybody. So when you see
tragic stuff like that, and then that kind of gets
out of It's like, okay, I mean it sucks, but
you serve the greater purpose when you're just talking about
a whole bunch of people in the airplane and the
airplane just goes down type stuff, and it's like, well,
what was the purpose all of them to be?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
You know, living and dying?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
So should I go back to another example you heard
about You'll remember the dudes on the bridge in Baltimore
El Barco.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I learned what bridge was in Spanish Elbarco.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, that bridge up in Baltimore where the dudes is
just working on the bridge doing anything about you know,
one o'clock in the morning, bridge just collapse oner them
and they die. Like the fuck I'm out here. First off,
I'm out here at one o'clock in the morning on
a bridge in a highway type situation. Come on, man,
(07:53):
So it hurts, it sucks. I don't like it, you
know whatsoever?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Uh, But.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Has you already know somebody about to get fired? Right
like when like.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Sixty sixty say sixty sixty threety So this so we're
talking about sixty five people, sixty five people dead because
somebody didn't do something. They weren't supposed to do. Now
it's either the air traffic control people or the government people,
or maybe it's both of them, because somebody should have
(08:25):
been talking to somebody or I always said with technology,
like and I know they got this. What somebody must
have had this, Like you know when something is flying
in your airspace, right, Like that's what those those detectors
and all of that stuff is for. You know, the meters,
you know what it'd be like, you know, you be
in the air of like, oh, there's something approaching us.
(08:48):
So whatever, you know, so if you're in the control center,
you're supposed to see all of that stuff. Like like
I give I give you another I give you another example.
So one of my jobs here at our heart rate
video which I'm actually recording.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I'm not in that studio.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I'm in the actual like I got to do my
job and get a paycheck studio to say the least,
So I got some time to like record little you know,
bits and pieces and clips and stuff. So don't mind me.
And it's more or less like I'm we have camp
like maps, like as a map where you know, could
(09:27):
we have a chopper that you know, flies around and
you know, gives us traffic feeds and stuff like that.
It goes to the television network. So when there's like
a crazy incident on the Downtown connector at in the
State twenty, you know, close to Martin Luther King Junior Drive,
send a chopper out there. Chopper, give up the footage.
You'd be like, oh, that joint is crazy out there,
and then that's how that's how the move works. You
(09:50):
see everything flying in the area. You can tell if
it's a helicopter. You can tell if it's a seven fifty.
You can tell if it's a seven forty seven. I
don't know the difference between those planes. I just know
that there are planes, but the difference. The point is
that you can tell what type of plane or aircraft
(10:11):
is flying around at any given time. So you're telling
me if you telling me that, if I can be
at our traffic center and I can see helicopter's flying around,
and I could be like, nah, I can see that shit,
you're trying to tell me the government didn't have nothing
to be able to do that shit, or at least
(10:33):
a government. I don't know if you call airport people,
government workers or agencies, but you know, I think whether
TSA or whatever, Well that's a security. But y'all know
what I'm talking about, the mother the aviators, the aviation motherfuckers,
the government aviation motherfuckers. You know. I mean, y'all didn't
couldn't tell that, Ay, there's an aircraft also in this area.
Type shit. Come on, man, somebody jobs going to be
(10:58):
five or And I don't never advocate for people to
lose their jobs, but people lost their lives. You individual
that's about to lose your job, that's the least of
your concerns. You did something that was so job reckless
that you cost sixty five lives. You better hope and
(11:21):
pray that it wasn't like human error, like you went
to the bathroom and you won't paying attention, or you
told a rookie or a pro you know, an intern,
and go ahead and hold it down for me real quickly.
If they say that you know that, you know the
checkpoints is good, just look at it. Just the just send.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Them that they're clear to go, and fucked around they
wasn't clear to go?
Speaker 2 (11:40):

work and a lot of good stuff going on. And
speaking of that good work and good stuff going on,
when you're a certain individual, you have to know who
you are.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
That's the tease, and we'll be back. It's the SS Experience.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You're listening to the SS Experience on sm G. You're
listening to the SS Experience on sm G.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
All right, we're back on the SS Experience. Rate review, subscribe,

and over and over again. So the alworthy thing that
we can pop in out here in these digital streets,
follow the show too at the SS Experience, No ethe
give me experience, follow me to at Haney Hardaway seventy five.
You have to know who you are as a person,
as an individual, it's called self awareness. If you're walking
(12:57):
around and you're not self aware of who you are
and your surroundings, you're just gonna be miserable and you know,
kind of pissed off at the world, unless you're a
fat a wrapper from Detroit or something like that that
decides to order an Uber and then get mad as
(13:21):
said Uber driver when said Uber driver is like, you
too big to fit in my car, And again it
goes back to self awareness, when she should have looked
at her looked at the car and was like nah,
or again being self aware and being responsible should have
(13:41):
been like, I need a black truck. Just saying you
can actually purchase vehicle, not purchase, but you can also
you know, request vehicles based on what you need to haul,
Like I'm not gonna ask for, you know, someone to
you know, scoop me up and I got like eight
(14:03):
people with me, Like, nah, I'm gonna need a I
can't just do a regular Uber. I'm gonna have to
get a black truck type situation. You know, if you
if you're getting someone to bring you something that you've ordered,
they can't put a big screen TV in a Chevy Camaro.
It's not gonna work. You have to know what's going on.
(14:27):
You have to know what you're hauling. You have to
know who you are. Now, let me go ahead and
pull up the person real quick, because it's it's it's
real disrespect. That's not really disrespective. This story is actually
just freaking funny, to be honest with you. So let
me go ahead, and a good thing we in the
studio because just gives me more use to technology and
(14:50):
stuff like all kind of like in front of me. Okay, ubers,
So y'all would not believe what I actually did to
actually get this story of what I typed to get
it because I couldn't think what I wanted to say.
I'm like, it was just put discipline there real quick,
(15:13):
all right. So from the New York Post real quick,
so plus size rapper who described herself as a BBW,
a big beautiful woman suing lyft. So was it Uber
was lyft? So I guess we got to get that right.
Don't want to get defamation or nothing like that. She's
so on lyft, not uber. I mean she's so on lyft,
(15:34):
not uber, and dank de Moss. She is weighed in
at four hundred and eighty nine pounds and was rejected
a rid when a Detroit lyft driver pulled up in
a Mercedes Benz. Now you got to again, it goes
(16:01):
back into right self awareness. Now, remember what I said
earlier that you can order a vehicle based on what
you're carrying and all the other stuff. I mean, and
I don't mean she's carrying like damn near five hundred pounds.
(16:24):
But in the article dimensions, the driver who identified himself
as Ibram in the now viol clip was film apologizing
to de Mars but maintaining that he was canceling the
rod and telling her she should order an EXL vehicle, which.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Again, that is nothing wrong with that, like at all.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's like, yeah, I can't take you because, yeah, my
car's not big enough.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Like I don't understand, like I mean, is.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It it's only discrimination if the company doesn't accommodate you ride.
Now again, for me, it's common sense. It's like, you
know how big you are, how many times do you
fit in certain type of cars? Like you have to
(17:14):
think about that yourself. It's not a fat shaming incident
or anything like that. But I guess discrimination is discrimination. No,
matter what it is. But it's like I people like myself,
Black people, people of color get discriminated on all the
(17:38):
time for like various stuff that's not in our control.
Again I'm black. Oh you don't want to be around
black people or you just gotta think about black people
or whatever. Okay, cool, that's racist, but whatever. I can't
do nothing about that. She can do something about being
five hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Like you really can. The main thing is to do
is to not eat as much.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Now people will to say like that's insensitive, and you
know you eat, and like, okay, this is how we
test that theory because people always be like, well, if
you don't eat, you start your body, then you start
eating again, and then you just blow back up. Let's
do an experiment. Put her in the woods and leave
her there. We'll come back in about two weeks. Bet
(18:28):
you she lose weight, point blank period, unless she's gonna
go out there and kill a bear. I I don't
want to say they're the same weight, but it might
be a fair fight type shit. So yeah, but my
point is in the bigger picture, because nobody wants to
be discriminated against about who they are. So let's drield
(18:50):
into jokes a little bit. I feel like, again it
goes back to self awareness. You know that you don't ride.
That's probably one of the reasons why she doesn't have
a car of her own, because she's riding ubers and
(19:11):
lifts and getting rides or whatever. But again, it's like,
depends on what your car is, like, you know, if
you don't got a big car. But again, I don't
see the problem with the driver saying I'm gonna cancel this.
I mean, I guess if she had to pay for it.
But for me, I wouldn't have blatantly canceled canceled on her.
(19:34):
If it was me, I would have contacted Uber myself
and been like, hey, I got a driver, I got
a rider, but my car's too small for her. Like
I wouldn't have just he probably could have did it
rudely or in a way that was like I don't
give a fuck type shit, because at the same time,
like I said me personally, you mean, I would have
just been like, look like I'll holler at Uber and
(19:56):
then get them like a ride a car that accommodates you,
because my car I can't accommodate you. Like my car
is kind of on the smaller side. You'll have no
leg room, you'll have no backroom, you'll have no arm room,
you'll have no room room like instead of making it
like you're gonna fuck up my car, like, man, you
ain't gonna have no room in here, like whatsoever type
like let me get let me, let me holler at
(20:17):
uber and get you like a bigger SUV type situation
boom like something like that. But again it maybe it
wasn't meant to be because she ended up getting Hella
paid off of that. So it is what it is, though,
But we don't we don't want to really partake in
too much of the discriminate story talk. But good for her, though, Man,
get that bread, get that bag, and you know, hopefully
(20:40):
you know she can do something with the bread, because
it goes back to what we were saying about, you know,
in the other segment about when you die early, you
die young? Is it for? Is this situation that you're
going through for a purpose? And I guess with I
guess with miss the mouse, Dank the mouse, It is
(21:05):
for a purpose that she was five hundred some pounds
because she sued, got hell of bread and she can
do whatever the folks you want to do, whatever it is,
what it is though, So next up on the SS Experience,
We're gonna finish our Grammy conversation real quick because I
gave you the categories, I gave you the nominees. But
there's a storyline in between, the storyline that we gotta tackle.
(21:27):
We be back SIS experience.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You're listening to the SS Experience on S and G.
You're listening to the SS Experience on S and G.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Were back on the SS Experience.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Don't forget the rate review, subscribe, re rate re review, resubscribe.
Keep that process that wasn't technical difficulties. I had to belch.
Will you be drinking sprite? Like warm sprite?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
For real? For real?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Like I want to put some of the poll at
the SS Experience. No either, be give experience on sware
to ax. How you get down out here in these
digital streets. There's a warm sprite cellio stomach. Yeah nah,
because you know a lot of people like you just
got just drinking a warm sprite, just just warm off
the can, Like now a cold sprite is good. But
like I don't know, like even at the crib, like
(22:17):
I have like a like a case of water, and
the case of water will just be sitting there, like
it'll just be, you know, sitting in a pantry to
cover whatever you want to call it. You know, I
don't even have a pantry or cover. Ain't gonna lot tea.
But in a normal situation, I'm saying, I not got
a place where it be, but the water just be
sitting out, you know, I just go in there, grab
(22:37):
me a water, drink me a nice little warm water.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
When it gets about like six or seven left.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Then I'll just you know, grab the grab the what
was the case, and just start to remain in the fridge,
just you know, leave it there or whatever. But for
the most part, yeah, man, like warm water, warm sprite.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I don't I don't mind.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I'm not saying it. I'm not saying like I'm gonna
ever go to someone's crib or go to someone's spot
and be like, can I have a warm water or
can I have a warm sprite? Please? Just like I
wouldn't go somewhere and be like can I get a
water with ice? Or can I get a sprite with ice? No,
just give me a drink. I'd be I shoot if
I need ice cubes I'll I'll make it work.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
If I needed to be warm again, I'll make it work.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
But that was pretty much what that was, just that
little drinking a warm sprite real quick, you do it again,
thirsty night, which is crazy. I just realized that I
damn near did a sprite or water ad. But I
don't get paid by them. I could get paid by them, though,
I mean, I would like to get paid by them,
but I like to get paid by anybody. Shit. Just
(23:38):
trying to get to this money mane. So let's get
back to the assets of spirits real quick. So I
wanted to I never done a Grammy Week or a
Grammy show before, because, like I said, I don't watch
the Grammys. I don't think the Grammys are interesting from
a standpoint of a lot of times, the categories that
(23:58):
we're familiar with, they don't even play them on No no, no,
you're good bro. Sometimes yeah yeah yeah, yeah, be saved
bro already you already know. And we're keeping that in
by the way, just because I mean, my peoples came
through just wanting to say whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I told y'all, I don't I don't be in this.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I don't be in a stool like that you'll be
so like when people see me, they're like, I'm here.
When I'm here, and I mean until the money get affected,
the money get affected. I got a message from my boss,
you know, it was like it wasn't an aggressive message,
but like if you know my boss down here in
a c L. I mean, like he mentions like, haven't
been to haven't been to work since early December, You're
(24:46):
coming in this week. It wasn't the aggressive way of
you ain't been hearing like a month and a half,
come to work.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
It wasn't that type of energy.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Because we get the option to work from home, you know,
but sometimes people abuse it. Sometimes people don't you. I
don't know me.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I have like a lot of stuff going on. If
it doesn't affect.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
The bag, I'm cools and I'm like, okay, well this
might affect the bag.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
And actually, today while.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I'm even in here as we speak, it's technically not
even like my shift to work. One of our co
workers had got sick and it was my you know,
not time off because I had worked earlier this morning.
But the way that it works is that we got
to be available throughout the day unless it's a day off.
So if it's not your actual day off, you have
to be available to work if you know you haven't
(25:30):
already been scheduled to do two shifts. So basically, if
you do one shift, you can possibly do a second shift,
but normally you get scheduled two shifts to a day
to do work. So I'm in the studio now because
I'm like, you know what he basically called it, asked
if I was going to be at work, So shit,
let's go ahead and go to work real quick. And
you know, fucking you know, see everybody, say what up
to everybody? I ain't seen everybody in like a high
(25:52):
little minute. But shoot, man, y'all know I'm outside. You
know what I'm saying. I'm easy. So let's get back
to the Grammy tell real quick. So we don't get
a chance to watch the Grammys, mainly because it's just
not a good product most of the times. When you're
watching certain categories like they don't even know you'll get
like a little cliff note or somebody mentioned yeah, such
(26:13):
and such just one best Rap album at the Grammys,
and it's like, yo, world's a presentation. We ain't see it,
not even like bring up the nomination and then the
person just wasn't there because maybe the person wasn't there,
and it was like, Okay, well we're not gonna put
on TV because the person who actually won isn't here
and we're not about to do the We accept this,
but a lot of various bullshit could go along with
(26:33):
something like that. But I don't watch the Grammys, like
I said, it's just not like it's then, especially the
musical acts in between, cause, like I said, if you're
not an all around music person, the Grammys isn't for you.
Like you know, if like, for example, the Grammys is
gonna be more you know, pop centric, country centric. That
(26:54):
pop country world can kind of blend together a little bit,
but hip hop and R and B they stay with
each other, but they don't. I mean, they might can
mess around in the pop world because that's pretty much
how it goes. But other than that, even when the
hip hop and R and B kind of meshes into
the pop world, it's not really all the same for real.
So it's kind of like when the Weekend crosses over
(27:15):
and do some pop stuff, or when Nicki Minaj does
some pop stuff, it's like, yeah, but that's still not
our best music, Like, that's our artists doing their genre,
but that doesn't represent our genre just because they're doing it,
if that makes sense. So I wanted to break down
two individuals that I'm interested in in these Grammys. I'm
(27:37):
interested in Beyonce and I'm interested in Kendrick Lamar. I'm
interested in Beyonce because this Grammy cycle, she didn't get nominated.
She didn't win the Album of the Year Grammy last year,
which prompted her to create a new album in a
new genre to try to get this coveted award, to
(28:00):
get the Grammy for Best Album, and she's doing it
through the genre of country music through her album Cowboy Carter.
It has eleven nominations, which is the most bile artist
in these Grammys, which Beyonce is normally known to run
(28:21):
it up. She's the I believe the ninety nine is
the most Grammys ever won. So she has a closet
to say the least. I said this last episode, the
Grammys is like the super Bowl for music artists, and
she has eleven nominations this cycle. What makes it interesting
(28:43):
is is that when she started the Cowboy Carter movement
and it was on country music stations. A lot of
the country program directors, some in our industry. I'm about
to say our company. I can't speak for in our country,
but I know I've heard, I've seen the tweets basically
tell call us we are a country music station. We
(29:04):
don't play Beyonce. Now, that was a little bit of
ignorance on the program directors there, because they wasn't realizing
when they requested Beyonce Texas hold them. I don't think
they realized that that was a country song. It wasn't
a Beyonce song.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Again, that's ignorant on their half, not knowing that. Then
they had to turn around apologize and say, Okay, it
is a country song. Now. It didn't say that they
liked the country song, but it is a country song.
And if it's by one of the biggest artists in
the world, bringing attention to your genre, yeah, you kind
of acquiesced to that, and you get that ball rolling,
(29:41):
you play that shit, motherfucker, you play that Beyonce, you
country motherfucker. Yeah, you know what I mean. So that's
the thing right there. So she had like eleven nominations.
We can run through a couple of them real quick.
Because it's very challenging and it ties into a little
bit of my thought process with basically the story that
(30:05):
I want to bring along with this real quick So
the first category in this real quick is is Record
of the Year. Okay, so a lot of the stuff
that we want to talk about is in this category
as well. Beyonce's Texas Hold Them is nominated for Record
(30:28):
of the Year along with Kendrick Lamar's not like us. Now,
why do I mention Kendrick Lamar's Because Kendrick Lamar is
the other individual in this Grammy conversation that I'm interested
in and seeing how his evening goes as well. Because
Kendrick Lamar is nominated for seven Grammys. Now, keep in mind,
Kendrick did not drop an album last year. He's nominated
(30:53):
for seven Grammys off of one single record.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
This record to say the least, but one single record.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
So we'll talk a little bit more about why Kendrick
Lamar interests me a little bit, intermingled with the Beyonce conversation,
but mainly when it's time for that conversation. So, beyonce
Texas Home is nominated for a Record of the Year.
Like I said, it's a country album. It's nominated with
several individuals, but the one for sure that's good competition
(31:27):
Outside of Kenrick Lamar, we'll be Taylor Swift featuring Ports
alone with Fortnite. Now again, have I heard all of
these records? No, not at all. I'm going to my
radio experience of working at the top forty radio station
and a hip hop and R and B station, saying
what type of music hits our catalogs because normally those
(31:49):
are the ones who, let's say, the label is like
push that a little bit more. Here's from Yaamine. So
that's one of the not these that Beyonce has pretty
much on deck. And it's one of those things where
it's basically like, how much do you respect Beyonce in
(32:12):
her country music craft? If you thought it was mid
or you thought she was just you know, as people
do to our culture. You know, be a quote unquote
culture vulture. It is what it is. Think of it
however you think of it. But she's from Houston, Texas,
you know, Texas, So I guess she has a right
(32:34):
to want to do country music. I'm just saying, though,
it's like if a white boy lives in a hood
you can't tell the white boy he can't do rap
music because he a white boy in the hood, eminem
You know. So it is what it is, Album of
the year. Now, this is the category that as I
mentioned earlier, is that is the category that Beyonce has
(32:58):
not won at you put that positive energy out there yet.
So she was nominated during her Destiny's Child days. I
don't think they won an Album of the year. She
was nominated obviously throughout her illustrious solo career and never
one album of the year. What you gotta think about that?
(33:20):
And jay Z brought that up too. She has the
most Grammy wins of any artists, not any hip hop artists,
not any R and B artists, not any black artists,
not any woman artists, anybody who ever stepped in the
booth to record a song. She has more Grammys than
(33:44):
all of you, but doesn't have Album of the Year
under her belt. That kind of sticks a knife in
you a little bit. It's kind of like I got
all of these you know MVPs or you know, Defensive
Player or Offensive Player of the Years, MVPs, you know
(34:04):
all of these things, you know, Player of the Week,
Player of the month, you know, the Walter Payton Award,
all of this other you know shit, the highest you know,
all this other shit, but I never won, you know,
the championship. You know, whether you want to in this analogy,
whether you want to consider it. Well, I just said MVP,
so yeah, so this is called the championship. She hasn't
(34:26):
won the championship, but she has all of these other accolades.
That's more than everybody else. That kind of would stick
to you because it's like I got It's like it's
like the dude who get all the bitches, but there's
this one bitch he can't get.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
For whatever reason, he can't get this.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Bitch, and he puts in you know, he you know,
all the work, all of the preparation, all of this shit,
and for whatever reason, he can't get this bitch, and
he's frustrated.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
He mad, He's like, bro, like, what the funck this
bitch don't like.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Me for That's the energy that I kind of feel
with Beyonce and Cowboy Carter. I got, I got all
these I got all these niggas, but this nigga don't
want to fuck with me. Now she's switching it all
up to get this nigga's attention, this album of the year.
(35:22):
To get this nigga's attention, she went on ahead and
switched it up. Yet the country album still got R
and B in the hip hop vibes. But you know,
like like like for example, let's go because it breaks
down to people who she work with, keep them out.
This is a country music album. Let's say we can
recognize some of the names that's a part of this project.
(35:44):
The Dream, Okay, we know he probably written some shit.
Dave Hamlin, Okay, Yeah, they're in the mix producers. Okay.
I ain't never heard of anoe of them before. I'm
not saying they ain't nobody, but I ain't never heard
any of the num before. Okay. Obviously I know Rafael
Sidiq for sure, So again I don't know the other individuals,
(36:09):
but The Dream and Rafael Sidik, I do know they're
definitely songwriters for sure. So if you think about it,
the Dream in Raphael Sidik is writers on a country album.
And I'm not saying that they've probably never done any
other outside genre before. Again, because I don't listen to
that many music and songs outside of my genre of
(36:30):
hip hop and R and b but I know that
their pens are nice. But I'm hoping these other names
that I'm looking at here are individuals who are part
of the country world, because if not, then it's gonna
be very, very hard for Beyonce to win any of
these categories because you're not in their world. So it's
(36:54):
like you are gonna seem like, you know, a cultural vulture.
So that's Beyonce for Album of the Year. And as
I mentioned earlier, Kennick Lamars Got has seven nominations off
of a song, not even a whole album, but in
this particular album, Beyonce's a major threat is always gonna
(37:15):
be Taylor Swift. I was talking with again newslady friend
across the across the way. I asked her up, like,
who you think is gonna win the Super Bowl? She
was like the Chiefs. I'm like, wrong answer, and I
showed her my Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl keychain from last
time I saw that. Well, we about to get it.
(37:36):
I'm about to get another one of these. You see
how old and dingy this one is. I'm about to
go give me another one, and she says, she, you know,
the swiftiest. She she believes the brand of the Swifties,
that the NFL is not gonna let the Swifties be heartbroken. Man,
fuck them Swifties, fuck them bitches. All y'all about to
be fucking.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Sad and mad and angry.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
And all this other shit. And normally I don't even
had that type of energy when dudes try to talk.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I was like, man, look, we's gonna play the game.
He's gonna do what we do.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
But no, if the Swifties is gonna make a decision
between my team getting another championship and then or the Chiefs,
three peting fuck.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
No, mm hmmm, got me fucked up.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Fuck you Swifties. But it's ain't a conversation about the
Swifties and not a conversation about my Eagles or the Chiefs.
So let's just keep it moving. Song of the Year.
This is one of those song writer awards that they
give out, So Beyonce is not in this particular category,
but Kendrick Lamar is for not like, oh you know what,
I am bugging my bad? I see they write it
(38:42):
in a funky way. The song writer is in parentheses.
Who's the person who's gonna hold let me see. Artist
names aren't parentheses. Okay, so the artist is in parentheses,
the songwriter is not. So basically, if you don't know
who Sean Cook is or Gerrold Jones or Joe Kent
or Shaboozie Collins, Obi nil whatever, I'm not just butchered
(39:04):
a lot of names. Nevin Sastre and Mark Williams, those
are all songwriters on Shabousi's a bar song. Okay, makes sense.
So Beyonce isn't there with Texas hold Him along with
Kendrick Lamar not like us, so okay, and Taylor Swift's
in there too. Lady guy got with Bruno Mars. So
it's heat in this situation right here. So how much
(39:29):
did you love Texas hold him? You know you got
Shabouzi with the bar song. I think he got jerked
at the Country Music Awards as well. So it's like
black people y'all doing country music? Miss us with that.
But Maclamore can get a Grammy just saying though, all right,
so best new Artists, all right. So obviously Kendrick and
(39:50):
Beyonce is not in that Producer of the Year. Let's
see if their records is in this real quick. Okay,
Beyonce got something for Amn, it's all producing stuff. Oh okay,
Now the dude, I was it, fuck it fitchuk Okay,
(40:12):
he produced on a men so okay, So I guess
does beyond well No, I guess the producer will get
that situation. But let's just keep it moving. Let's keep
it moving to more Beyonce centric shit. Songwriter of the
Year non classical, all right, so that's some other shit
for the songwriters. Okay, beyond one of beyonce songs in
(40:35):
this joint too, I don't know if that counts as
the eleven and she gets credit for our Best Pop
Solo Performance Beyonce with Bodyguard. Okay, haven't heard it because
I said I didn't consume too much of Beyonce's songs.
But we all know the major situation that Beyonce is
(40:55):
trying to get. She's trying to get that Album of
the Year. So no matter any of these other things
that I mentioned for her nomination Levi's Jeans, Beyonce with
Post Malone, Best Pop Duo Group Performance, none of this
stuff in the grand scheme of things matter if Beyonce
does not win Album of the Year, because that's why
(41:19):
she did the quote unquote wrestling heel term, even though
I don't mean wrestling hill term, she doesn't mean to anybody,
but the wrestling heel term is when you do a
total flip of who you are, who you're known for.
And she's known for hip hop and R and B
and older that, and she stepped into the country world rightfully,
so it's all love is all good, and she's trying
to get Album of the Year. In that aspect, it's
(41:40):
basically like when you go to a new team after
you make like a big fuss, it's like, well, you
better win a championship. You did a lot of shit
talking and a lot of you know what I'm saying,
fucking round for the fucking ride to get on this squad.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
You better win this championship.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
So hopefully Beyonce gets that thing popping again, that thing going.
So Kendrick Lamar situation is a little different for me
because Kendrick Lamar is only nominated for Not Like Us.
He's only so he has seven nominations for Not Like Us.
I'm trying to go through some more of the other
stuff real quick that he's nominated for as well. But
(42:19):
I know the earliest stuff with the song of the
year and all of that stuff, and the writer's version
of that particular one obviously best rap performance. Kendrick not
like us. He's in there with future Metro Bullman on
a song that he's on as well, like that Glorilla
with Yeah Glow, eminem Doc Cardi b with Enough Miami,
Common and Pete Rock when the Sun shines again that
(42:42):
fire joint right there, because I know it's fire because
Common and Pete Rock of Fire. But the reason why
I'm bringing this up is because how much do you
hate Drake? Because if Kendrick sweeps every category because his
song was the biggest song of the year and it
was only out for three months of twenty twenty four,
(43:05):
give it, give I get a little bit more, like
He'll say, five months. You I mean from like the
back end of summer, all the way through the back
end of summer, all the way through. It was Kendrick
Lamar and he got it popping real quick because he
could have he could have submitted it for next year,
but it got too much motion, it got too much energy.
Might as well do that shit this year. And I'm
(43:29):
looking at all of this stuff, and you know, again
again I keep saying this.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Over and over and over again, how much do you
hate Drake?
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Because if you hate Drake more than let's say you
like Glrilla, or you hate Drake more than you like
Future in metro Boomer's project, you hate Drake more than
you like Eminem coming back with the nostalgia, also common
in Pete Rock coming back with the nostalgia, or you
(44:01):
hate Drake more than you like Cardi B just always
dropping songs and singles every which way and not giving
out a whole album. If you hate Drake more than
you like all of those people, then Kendrick Lamar's gonna
sweep this whole motherfucking thing. Because we can go all
down the list of every nomination that Kendrick's in right now,
(44:25):
and you have to ask yourself, do I hate Drake
more than I like these? Because it's just going to
basically be like a gut punch to Drake, Like this
man dished you and said all of this stuff about
you and he got all of these Grammys. Again, remember
what I told you guys, The Grammys is the super
Bowl of music. So if I run it up at
(44:51):
the super Bowl at your expense and the whole world
knows it jeez insane, especially what's gonna go on a
super Bowl two? So another song that Kendrick Lamar is
nominated and along with some heavy hitters not like US
as nominated with Like That Opposite the Future of Metro
(45:12):
Bolman featureing Kendrick, Kanye West, Tie Dallas, Soign with Carnival,
rhaps with Asteroids and Guerrilla where Yeah Glow again? Do
you hate Drake more than you like Glrilla? Do you
hate Drake more than you like Future in Metro? Do
you hate Drake more than you like Kanye'sida sogn Do
you hate Drake Moore, then you like Rhapsody? Because if
(45:35):
you hate Drake more than you like all of them,
Kendrick's gonna get that motherfucker too. Just saying though, like
it is what it is, and again that's what I'm
more or less interesting. I know it's not the most
musical thing, because, like I said, if if I don't
listen to all of the music that's in these nominations
and in these categories, then I'm not a good pundit
(45:57):
for you to break down an analyt Some of you
might have been here for that, but nah, I'm here
for the storylines within the storylines, because that's how we
have to make this shit interesting. It's just like when
I tell my son about school. My son always says
he's bored with school. There's nothing popping, there's nothing going on,
because he's just he's just too smart for school. But
(46:18):
unfortunately he has to be in school because he's in
a little fifteen year old body, so he has no choice.
But it goes that's all on that. I'm like just him, like, bro,
you have no choice, bro, Like as smart as you are,
or as smart as you think you are, or as
dumb as you think the work is and all of
that stuff, you don't get the chance to choose that.
So you're pretty much stuck. So just as sell in
what you are selling, be smart, get it popping, and
(46:40):
go keep it moving from there. And I have to
bribe him to get kid to maintain good grades. I mean,
he gets good grades anyway, but I have to financially
incentivize him because it's that type of party, you know.
I mean, I got to make sure that he ain't
out here in these streets wild and and all of that.
You feel me. So with Kendrick again not dropping an album,
best rap album, he's not in there. Okay, that's not
(47:01):
a category for him. Jazz, that's not a category at all.
I mean, it is a category I'm talking about in
this conversation. Shout out to Andre three thousand. He got
like a couple of nominations in that joint though too
for that flute album that I heard was bang uh, nope, nope, okay, okay,
So solo country performance, we're back into the Beyonce conversation
(47:25):
for sixteen carriages. Now, the other stuff that we had
mentioned earlier was it's obviously an ensemble of everybody else.
You know, it's your pop, your hip hop, and all
of that stuff. So that's great too. Now we're talking
about Beyonce being nominated in the genre of music that
she is trying to quote unquote infiltrate is what we're
(47:48):
trying to do right now. So again, I don't know
nothing about jelly roll. I heard it jelly rolling. It
ain't like the TUTSI roll, but it's jelly roll though.
Casey mcgrave's christ ableson again, I've heard of those artists.
I know that they do good work. Is just country
music just isn't my jam to listen to. So you
tell me how they are professionally and how they rank cool.
(48:08):
I'll rat it on that, but I can't rate it
on feelings of Oh I like this song and all
of this stuff, because I don't know. I haven't even
heard Beyonce sixteen Carriages, and I don't even think I've
heard of a bar song all the way through, except
if I hear it through a commercial or maybe when
he performed it, you know, during Thanksgiving and Detroit maybe,
but even then, I'm no good in that. All right,
(48:30):
So Beyonce has the Best Country Duo Group Performance nomination
as well, featuring Miley Cyrus. Was it too? Most Wanted? Yep, too,
most wanted?
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Dan and Shay.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
I know about them, you know, they them country due
Funny Miller commercial by the way, Post Malone and Morgan Whalen,
Brothers Osborne, Kelsey Bellerina with Noah Kahan, Like, okay, I
know of them, well, not the last people. Everybody else
I did, Brothers Osborne and Danny shadd did, and Morgan Whalen,
(49:04):
but everybody else, no, I don't. I'm sorry, I don't.
Best Country song again. This is a songwriter song. So
the people who's responsible for SHABOOSI is a bar song,
which is crazy because it reminds me of an article
that I have read not too long ago where Chingy
not a chingy Ja Kwan was trying to get a
(49:26):
songwriter credit on a bar so on tipsy because it's
really that same vibe, like I meanly lyric is come
on like if you When I say the same vibe,
I don't mean the same vibe like sound and energy
because one is a country song, one is a rap song.
But everybody in the club get tipsy and then you
(49:49):
know something now, now don't want them ball like it's
it's the same sentiment to say the least, Like if
I'm in a country bar getting drunk, I'll feel the
same way if I was listening to the the song.
So that's just me personally. But Beyonce is in a
category with Da along with Post Malone and Morgan Whalen,
Jelly Rol, you know the usual suspects from that last
(50:09):
category of best country duo performance. They're in their solo
right now with that Texas hold Beyonce joint best Country album.
Now again, this is different than best overall album. We're
just see this is again, this is one of those
(50:30):
specific categories in which I believe Beyonce has one of these,
but she don't got the other one. This is probably
I would say, like if you if you're in the
sports world, this is like the equivalent of winning Eastern
Conference MVP type situation. What I'm saying, I want the
(50:51):
Eastern Conference MVP. I won my conference. That's what this
is by you know, the genre best country album again
and with post Malone case mcgrad's Christapleton Landy Wilson, which again,
you guys remember post Malone, isn't he the rapper that
was on twenty one Savage song with twenty one Savage Yeah,
(51:14):
rockstar post Malone be on that rap shit too. But again,
no one said anything about post Malone doing rap music,
but people are saying stuff about Beyonce doing country music.
Just saying, though, guys, gotta call out the hypocrisy when
I see it. A see what else we got go
(51:37):
on here? Just scrolling through Best Americana Performance, Yah yah.
I think that's one of the joints that she performed
as well. Beyonce has a lot of nominations and again,
none of these winnings that I'm filtering through, I think
that might be all of them. For real, none of
these nominations that I'm filtering through right now will mean nothing.
(52:03):
If Beyonce doesn't get Album of the Year, overall album
of the Year, not Country music album of the Year.
If she doesn't get that popping, then all of this
was for not now. Again, within herself, she might say, well,
I did a country album, I did what I love,
I did the craft, and you know I love it.
(52:24):
But we all know when you have the most nominations
of anybody who've ever stepped in the booth to record
a song and there's one award that you have never
ever won, I would not blame her fulfilling a certain
(52:47):
type of way. Just sand though. So this is SS

want to do is I want to start with something
that's very, very tragic that happened, which it's weird. It's
real weird. So out in DC, I think it's a
(01:23):
it was either Dullest or Ronald Reagan. I think it
was dullest. Though. A helicopter, a military helicopter and a
small airplane aircraft carrier basically collided and everybody died mass explosion. Currently,
Cruise are in the Potomac River right now, digging through
the water the river. Obviously about saying the Potomac River
(01:46):
digging through the ocean, crazy salt water, but anyway, not
the time to do a joke. But they are in
the Potomac River right now trying to, you know, get
bodies of stuff like that, because there were sixty people
on the aircraft along with the two pilots and then
the three individuals that was in the chopper, so a
(02:08):
lot of bodies that they have to dig up. And
I was talking with one of my co workers who
told me some stuff off the record, because she's actually
in this whole news world and all of that.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
But I ain't gonna tell y'all what she told me.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But people have already had said that it wasn't supposed
to have happened, you know, the the government people who
was monitoring that airspace along with the airport that was
monitoring that airspace, should have been on the same page
and been like, nah, this ain't cool for none of
y'all to go through. But you know, you got the military.
(02:45):
You know, you can't be on an active military channel
listening to the military bus moves, and at the same
time you're not supposed to be, you know, listening to
the air control people, you know, telling when airplanes are
supposed to be landing because of stuff like this. So
it's a lot of bad communication on both sides. And
I guess I have to agree with President Trump on
(03:08):
this one. This could have been avoided. So it's one
of those things that just makes me hate airplanes. Now again,
I was talking to my news reporter friend, and you know,
there's always the because I always say, Lastie, that's the
main reason I do not like to fly, and then
everyone always wants to say, well, you're more than likely
(03:28):
to die in a car crashing in an airplane, and
it's like, yeah, but that's bad math this because there's
more people out there driving the cars than there is
flying the chopper. And it always seems that when the
air I've said this all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
When the airplane goes down, we're all dead, straight up
and down. There's no if ends or butts about it.
Anytime plane go up and plane doesn't go down the
same way it went up.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
All going down we're all fucking dead. So that's why
I just be I mean, I fly because of the.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Convenience of flying.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know, a nine hour drive takes an hour and
forty five minutes, give it take, you know, give it
take the you know, the aerodynamics of the airplane and
all of that. But I just it's just one.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Of the main reasons why I shoot hate planes.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I mean, I can go to plenty of bad plane
you know time frames. Obviously, I'm not gonna do the
main one that you guys are thinking that I'm gonna mention. No,
I'm not gonna mention that tragic day in two thousand
and one. No, I'm not gonna do that. You know,
I'm not gonna mention you know, passenger fifty seven or
snakes on a plane, you know, I mean, it's it's
(04:46):
some bullshit. It's a lot of bullshit that goes on
on airplanes. But prayers out there the people, you know,
I believe they were from Kansas and they were skaters
or something like that. It was obviously it was fresh
in my mind when I when I cut the micro on,
but I know they was from Kansas for sure. There
(05:06):
was a team of you know, of individuals, So just
prayers out to them. Man, that just sucks when and
again it's just like the Kolbe you know that we
just had that five year anniversary a couple of days ago.
When you're living your life and you just you ain't
doing nothing wrong, you ain't doing nothing crazy. You just
living your life trying to be the best person that
(05:26):
you can be, and something like that happens, and that
always makes me question, like real talk, like and I'm
not trying to make this like a religious conversation because
it's not that type of party, but sometimes you have
to really you have to think, like if this is
all part of God's plan, you know, all of our
you know, God knows the beginning and the end and
all this other stuff, then why like the what life
(05:51):
purpose did some of Like I always think about when
people die young, it's like, so what was their young purpose?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Like did they do?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Like were they just supposed to make somebody more responsible
to something like that was their life and then death
supposed to make somebody, you know, move in a certain way,
like like, for example, if you talk about George Floyd forever,
I know George Floyd was older, but if you're saying like, dang,
like your purpose was to go out like that, to
(06:19):
be you know, a knee to your neck.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
In front of the whole world.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Now, if you get George Floyd, laws and all of
that stuff to come from it, and it's like, okay,
that's what your life was worth. Your life was to
be used to provide us with a law and a
play like okay, you know what, just like the and
this is something that really happened, you know, which why
didn't happen to George Floyd?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, because he's black.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
The Lincoln Riley Act, the thing that Trump had just
signed in the law that had something to do with
you know, when illegal immigrants have been charged with crimes,
whether this country or their home country, they get the
fuck up out of here asap. So you know, you
could say, well, Danny, she lives. That was her now,
(07:03):
so that can't happen to anybody. So when you see
tragic stuff like that, and then that kind of gets
out of It's like, okay, I mean it sucks, but
you serve the greater purpose when you're just talking about
a whole bunch of people in the airplane and the
airplane just goes down type stuff, and it's like, well,
what was the purpose all of them to be?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
You know, living and dying?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
So should I go back to another example you heard
about You'll remember the dudes on the bridge in Baltimore
El Barco.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I learned what bridge was in Spanish Elbarco.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, that bridge up in Baltimore where the dudes is
just working on the bridge doing anything about you know,
one o'clock in the morning, bridge just collapse oner them
and they die. Like the fuck I'm out here. First off,
I'm out here at one o'clock in the morning on
a bridge in a highway type situation. Come on, man,
(07:53):
So it hurts, it sucks. I don't like it, you
know whatsoever?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Uh, But.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Has you already know somebody about to get fired? Right
like when like.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Sixty sixty say sixty sixty threety So this so we're
talking about sixty five people, sixty five people dead because
somebody didn't do something. They weren't supposed to do. Now
it's either the air traffic control people or the government people,
or maybe it's both of them, because somebody should have
(08:25):
been talking to somebody or I always said with technology,
like and I know they got this. What somebody must
have had this, Like you know when something is flying
in your airspace, right, Like that's what those those detectors
and all of that stuff is for. You know, the meters,
you know what it'd be like, you know, you be
in the air of like, oh, there's something approaching us.
(08:48):
So whatever, you know, so if you're in the control center,
you're supposed to see all of that stuff. Like like
I give I give you another I give you another example.
So one of my jobs here at our heart rate
video which I'm actually recording.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I'm not in that studio.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I'm in the actual like I got to do my
job and get a paycheck studio to say the least,
So I got some time to like record little you know,
bits and pieces and clips and stuff. So don't mind me.
And it's more or less like I'm we have camp
like maps, like as a map where you know, could
(09:27):
we have a chopper that you know, flies around and
you know, gives us traffic feeds and stuff like that.
It goes to the television network. So when there's like
a crazy incident on the Downtown connector at in the
State twenty, you know, close to Martin Luther King Junior Drive,
send a chopper out there. Chopper, give up the footage.
You'd be like, oh, that joint is crazy out there,
and then that's how that's how the move works. You
(09:50):
see everything flying in the area. You can tell if
it's a helicopter. You can tell if it's a seven fifty.
You can tell if it's a seven forty seven. I
don't know the difference between those planes. I just know
that there are planes, but the difference. The point is
that you can tell what type of plane or aircraft
(10:11):
is flying around at any given time. So you're telling
me if you telling me that, if I can be
at our traffic center and I can see helicopter's flying around,
and I could be like, nah, I can see that shit,
you're trying to tell me the government didn't have nothing
to be able to do that shit, or at least
(10:33):
a government. I don't know if you call airport people,
government workers or agencies, but you know, I think whether
TSA or whatever, Well that's a security. But y'all know
what I'm talking about, the mother the aviators, the aviation motherfuckers,
the government aviation motherfuckers. You know. I mean, y'all didn't
couldn't tell that, Ay, there's an aircraft also in this area.
Type shit. Come on, man, somebody jobs going to be
(10:58):
five or And I don't never advocate for people to
lose their jobs, but people lost their lives. You individual
that's about to lose your job, that's the least of
your concerns. You did something that was so job reckless
that you cost sixty five lives. You better hope and
(11:21):
pray that it wasn't like human error, like you went
to the bathroom and you won't paying attention, or you
told a rookie or a pro you know, an intern,
and go ahead and hold it down for me real quickly.
If they say that you know that, you know the
checkpoints is good, just look at it. Just the just send.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Them that they're clear to go, and fucked around they
wasn't clear to go?
Speaker 2 (11:40):

work and a lot of good stuff going on. And
speaking of that good work and good stuff going on,
when you're a certain individual, you have to know who
you are.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
That's the tease, and we'll be back. It's the SS Experience.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You're listening to the SS Experience on sm G. You're
listening to the SS Experience on sm G.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
All right, we're back on the SS Experience. Rate review, subscribe,
re rate review, resubscribe, download, keep that process going over
and over and over again. So the alworthy thing that
we can pop in out here in these digital streets,
follow the show too at the SS Experience, No ethe
give me experience, follow me to at Haney Hardaway seventy five.
You have to know who you are as a person,
as an individual, it's called self awareness. If you're walking
(12:57):
around and you're not self aware of who you are
and your surroundings, you're just gonna be miserable and you know,
kind of pissed off at the world, unless you're a
fat a wrapper from Detroit or something like that that
decides to order an Uber and then get mad as
(13:21):
said Uber driver when said Uber driver is like, you
too big to fit in my car, And again it
goes back to self awareness, when she should have looked
at her looked at the car and was like nah,
or again being self aware and being responsible should have
(13:41):
been like, I need a black truck. Just saying you
can actually purchase vehicle, not purchase, but you can also
you know, request vehicles based on what you need to haul,
Like I'm not gonna ask for, you know, someone to
you know, scoop me up and I got like eight
(14:03):
people with me, Like, nah, I'm gonna need a I
can't just do a regular Uber. I'm gonna have to
get a black truck type situation. You know, if you
if you're getting someone to bring you something that you've ordered,
they can't put a big screen TV in a Chevy Camaro.
It's not gonna work. You have to know what's going on.
(14:27):
You have to know what you're hauling. You have to
know who you are. Now, let me go ahead and
pull up the person real quick, because it's it's it's
real disrespect. That's not really disrespective. This story is actually
just freaking funny, to be honest with you. So let
me go ahead, and a good thing we in the
studio because just gives me more use to technology and
(14:50):
stuff like all kind of like in front of me. Okay, ubers,
So y'all would not believe what I actually did to
actually get this story of what I typed to get
it because I couldn't think what I wanted to say.
I'm like, it was just put discipline there real quick,
(15:13):
all right. So from the New York Post real quick,
so plus size rapper who described herself as a BBW,
a big beautiful woman suing lyft. So was it Uber
was lyft? So I guess we got to get that right.
Don't want to get defamation or nothing like that. She's
so on lyft, not uber. I mean she's so on lyft,
(15:34):
not uber, and dank de Moss. She is weighed in
at four hundred and eighty nine pounds and was rejected
a rid when a Detroit lyft driver pulled up in
a Mercedes Benz. Now you got to again, it goes
(16:01):
back into right self awareness. Now, remember what I said
earlier that you can order a vehicle based on what
you're carrying and all the other stuff. I mean, and
I don't mean she's carrying like damn near five hundred pounds.
(16:24):
But in the article dimensions, the driver who identified himself
as Ibram in the now viol clip was film apologizing
to de Mars but maintaining that he was canceling the
rod and telling her she should order an EXL vehicle, which.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Again, that is nothing wrong with that, like at all.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's like, yeah, I can't take you because, yeah, my
car's not big enough.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Like I don't understand, like I mean, is.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It it's only discrimination if the company doesn't accommodate you ride.
Now again, for me, it's common sense. It's like, you
know how big you are, how many times do you
fit in certain type of cars? Like you have to
(17:14):
think about that yourself. It's not a fat shaming incident
or anything like that. But I guess discrimination is discrimination. No,
matter what it is. But it's like I people like myself,
Black people, people of color get discriminated on all the
(17:38):
time for like various stuff that's not in our control.
Again I'm black. Oh you don't want to be around
black people or you just gotta think about black people
or whatever. Okay, cool, that's racist, but whatever. I can't
do nothing about that. She can do something about being
five hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Like you really can. The main thing is to do
is to not eat as much.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Now people will to say like that's insensitive, and you
know you eat, and like, okay, this is how we
test that theory because people always be like, well, if
you don't eat, you start your body, then you start
eating again, and then you just blow back up. Let's
do an experiment. Put her in the woods and leave
her there. We'll come back in about two weeks. Bet
(18:28):
you she lose weight, point blank period, unless she's gonna
go out there and kill a bear. I I don't
want to say they're the same weight, but it might
be a fair fight type shit. So yeah, but my
point is in the bigger picture, because nobody wants to
be discriminated against about who they are. So let's drield
(18:50):
into jokes a little bit. I feel like, again it
goes back to self awareness. You know that you don't ride.
That's probably one of the reasons why she doesn't have
a car of her own, because she's riding ubers and
(19:11):
lifts and getting rides or whatever. But again, it's like,
depends on what your car is, like, you know, if
you don't got a big car. But again, I don't
see the problem with the driver saying I'm gonna cancel this.
I mean, I guess if she had to pay for it.
But for me, I wouldn't have blatantly canceled canceled on her.
(19:34):
If it was me, I would have contacted Uber myself
and been like, hey, I got a driver, I got
a rider, but my car's too small for her. Like
I wouldn't have just he probably could have did it
rudely or in a way that was like I don't
give a fuck type shit, because at the same time,
like I said me personally, you mean, I would have
just been like, look like I'll holler at Uber and
(19:56):
then get them like a ride a car that accommodates you,
because my car I can't accommodate you. Like my car
is kind of on the smaller side. You'll have no
leg room, you'll have no backroom, you'll have no arm room,
you'll have no room room like instead of making it
like you're gonna fuck up my car, like, man, you
ain't gonna have no room in here, like whatsoever type
like let me get let me, let me holler at
(20:17):
uber and get you like a bigger SUV type situation
boom like something like that. But again it maybe it
wasn't meant to be because she ended up getting Hella
paid off of that. So it is what it is, though,
But we don't we don't want to really partake in
too much of the discriminate story talk. But good for her, though, Man,
get that bread, get that bag, and you know, hopefully
(20:40):
you know she can do something with the bread, because
it goes back to what we were saying about, you know,
in the other segment about when you die early, you
die young? Is it for? Is this situation that you're
going through for a purpose? And I guess with I
guess with miss the mouse, Dank the mouse, It is
(21:05):
for a purpose that she was five hundred some pounds
because she sued, got hell of bread and she can
do whatever the folks you want to do, whatever it is,
what it is though, So next up on the SS Experience,
We're gonna finish our Grammy conversation real quick because I
gave you the categories, I gave you the nominees. But
there's a storyline in between, the storyline that we gotta tackle.
(21:27):
We be back SIS experience.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You're listening to the SS Experience on S and G.
You're listening to the SS Experience on S and G.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Were back on the SS Experience.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Don't forget the rate review, subscribe, re rate re review, resubscribe.
Keep that process that wasn't technical difficulties. I had to belch.
Will you be drinking sprite? Like warm sprite?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
For real? For real?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Like I want to put some of the poll at
the SS Experience. No either, be give experience on sware
to ax. How you get down out here in these
digital streets. There's a warm sprite cellio stomach. Yeah nah,
because you know a lot of people like you just
got just drinking a warm sprite, just just warm off
the can, Like now a cold sprite is good. But
like I don't know, like even at the crib, like
(22:17):
I have like a like a case of water, and
the case of water will just be sitting there, like
it'll just be, you know, sitting in a pantry to
cover whatever you want to call it. You know, I
don't even have a pantry or cover. Ain't gonna lot tea.
But in a normal situation, I'm saying, I not got
a place where it be, but the water just be
sitting out, you know, I just go in there, grab
(22:37):
me a water, drink me a nice little warm water.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
When it gets about like six or seven left.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Then I'll just you know, grab the grab the what
was the case, and just start to remain in the fridge,
just you know, leave it there or whatever. But for
the most part, yeah, man, like warm water, warm sprite.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I don't I don't mind.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I'm not saying it. I'm not saying like I'm gonna
ever go to someone's crib or go to someone's spot
and be like, can I have a warm water or
can I have a warm sprite? Please? Just like I
wouldn't go somewhere and be like can I get a
water with ice? Or can I get a sprite with ice? No,
just give me a drink. I'd be I shoot if
I need ice cubes I'll I'll make it work.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
If I needed to be warm again, I'll make it work.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
But that was pretty much what that was, just that
little drinking a warm sprite real quick, you do it again,
thirsty night, which is crazy. I just realized that I
damn near did a sprite or water ad. But I
don't get paid by them. I could get paid by them, though,
I mean, I would like to get paid by them,
but I like to get paid by anybody. Shit. Just
(23:38):
trying to get to this money mane. So let's get
back to the assets of spirits real quick. So I
wanted to I never done a Grammy Week or a
Grammy show before, because, like I said, I don't watch
the Grammys. I don't think the Grammys are interesting from
a standpoint of a lot of times, the categories that
(23:58):
we're familiar with, they don't even play them on No no, no,
you're good bro. Sometimes yeah yeah yeah, yeah, be saved
bro already you already know. And we're keeping that in
by the way, just because I mean, my peoples came
through just wanting to say whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I told y'all, I don't I don't be in this.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I don't be in a stool like that you'll be
so like when people see me, they're like, I'm here.
When I'm here, and I mean until the money get affected,
the money get affected. I got a message from my boss,
you know, it was like it wasn't an aggressive message,
but like if you know my boss down here in
a c L. I mean, like he mentions like, haven't
been to haven't been to work since early December, You're
(24:46):
coming in this week. It wasn't the aggressive way of
you ain't been hearing like a month and a half,
come to work.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
It wasn't that type of energy.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Because we get the option to work from home, you know,
but sometimes people abuse it. Sometimes people don't you. I
don't know me.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I have like a lot of stuff going on. If
it doesn't affect.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
The bag, I'm cools and I'm like, okay, well this
might affect the bag.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
And actually, today while.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I'm even in here as we speak, it's technically not
even like my shift to work. One of our co
workers had got sick and it was my you know,
not time off because I had worked earlier this morning.
But the way that it works is that we got
to be available throughout the day unless it's a day off.
So if it's not your actual day off, you have
to be available to work if you know you haven't
(25:30):
already been scheduled to do two shifts. So basically, if
you do one shift, you can possibly do a second shift,
but normally you get scheduled two shifts to a day
to do work. So I'm in the studio now because
I'm like, you know what he basically called it, asked
if I was going to be at work, So shit,
let's go ahead and go to work real quick. And
you know, fucking you know, see everybody, say what up
to everybody? I ain't seen everybody in like a high
(25:52):
little minute. But shoot, man, y'all know I'm outside. You
know what I'm saying. I'm easy. So let's get back
to the Grammy tell real quick. So we don't get
a chance to watch the Grammys, mainly because it's just
not a good product most of the times. When you're
watching certain categories like they don't even know you'll get
like a little cliff note or somebody mentioned yeah, such
(26:13):
and such just one best Rap album at the Grammys,
and it's like, yo, world's a presentation. We ain't see it,
not even like bring up the nomination and then the
person just wasn't there because maybe the person wasn't there,
and it was like, Okay, well we're not gonna put
on TV because the person who actually won isn't here
and we're not about to do the We accept this,
but a lot of various bullshit could go along with
(26:33):
something like that. But I don't watch the Grammys, like
I said, it's just not like it's then, especially the
musical acts in between, cause, like I said, if you're
not an all around music person, the Grammys isn't for you.
Like you know, if like, for example, the Grammys is
gonna be more you know, pop centric, country centric. That
(26:54):
pop country world can kind of blend together a little bit,
but hip hop and R and B they stay with
each other, but they don't. I mean, they might can
mess around in the pop world because that's pretty much
how it goes. But other than that, even when the
hip hop and R and B kind of meshes into
the pop world, it's not really all the same for real.
So it's kind of like when the Weekend crosses over
(27:15):
and do some pop stuff, or when Nicki Minaj does
some pop stuff, it's like, yeah, but that's still not
our best music, Like, that's our artists doing their genre,
but that doesn't represent our genre just because they're doing it,
if that makes sense. So I wanted to break down
two individuals that I'm interested in in these Grammys. I'm
(27:37):
interested in Beyonce and I'm interested in Kendrick Lamar. I'm
interested in Beyonce because this Grammy cycle, she didn't get nominated.
She didn't win the Album of the Year Grammy last year,
which prompted her to create a new album in a
new genre to try to get this coveted award, to
(28:00):
get the Grammy for Best Album, and she's doing it
through the genre of country music through her album Cowboy Carter.
It has eleven nominations, which is the most bile artist
in these Grammys, which Beyonce is normally known to run
(28:21):
it up. She's the I believe the ninety nine is
the most Grammys ever won. So she has a closet
to say the least. I said this last episode, the
Grammys is like the super Bowl for music artists, and
she has eleven nominations this cycle. What makes it interesting
(28:43):
is is that when she started the Cowboy Carter movement
and it was on country music stations. A lot of
the country program directors, some in our industry. I'm about
to say our company. I can't speak for in our country,
but I know I've heard, I've seen the tweets basically
tell call us we are a country music station. We
(29:04):
don't play Beyonce. Now, that was a little bit of
ignorance on the program directors there, because they wasn't realizing
when they requested Beyonce Texas hold them. I don't think
they realized that that was a country song. It wasn't
a Beyonce song.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Again, that's ignorant on their half, not knowing that. Then
they had to turn around apologize and say, Okay, it
is a country song. Now. It didn't say that they
liked the country song, but it is a country song.
And if it's by one of the biggest artists in
the world, bringing attention to your genre, yeah, you kind
of acquiesced to that, and you get that ball rolling,
(29:41):
you play that shit, motherfucker, you play that Beyonce, you
country motherfucker. Yeah, you know what I mean. So that's
the thing right there. So she had like eleven nominations.
We can run through a couple of them real quick.
Because it's very challenging and it ties into a little
bit of my thought process with basically the story that
(30:05):
I want to bring along with this real quick So
the first category in this real quick is is Record
of the Year. Okay, so a lot of the stuff
that we want to talk about is in this category
as well. Beyonce's Texas Hold Them is nominated for Record
(30:28):
of the Year along with Kendrick Lamar's not like us. Now,
why do I mention Kendrick Lamar's Because Kendrick Lamar is
the other individual in this Grammy conversation that I'm interested
in and seeing how his evening goes as well. Because
Kendrick Lamar is nominated for seven Grammys. Now, keep in mind,
Kendrick did not drop an album last year. He's nominated
(30:53):
for seven Grammys off of one single record.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
This record to say the least, but one single record.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
So we'll talk a little bit more about why Kendrick
Lamar interests me a little bit, intermingled with the Beyonce conversation,
but mainly when it's time for that conversation. So, beyonce
Texas Home is nominated for a Record of the Year.
Like I said, it's a country album. It's nominated with
several individuals, but the one for sure that's good competition
(31:27):
Outside of Kenrick Lamar, we'll be Taylor Swift featuring Ports
alone with Fortnite. Now again, have I heard all of
these records? No, not at all. I'm going to my
radio experience of working at the top forty radio station
and a hip hop and R and B station, saying
what type of music hits our catalogs because normally those
(31:49):
are the ones who, let's say, the label is like
push that a little bit more. Here's from Yaamine. So
that's one of the not these that Beyonce has pretty
much on deck. And it's one of those things where
it's basically like, how much do you respect Beyonce in
(32:12):
her country music craft? If you thought it was mid
or you thought she was just you know, as people
do to our culture. You know, be a quote unquote
culture vulture. It is what it is. Think of it
however you think of it. But she's from Houston, Texas,
you know, Texas, So I guess she has a right
(32:34):
to want to do country music. I'm just saying, though,
it's like if a white boy lives in a hood
you can't tell the white boy he can't do rap
music because he a white boy in the hood, eminem
You know. So it is what it is, Album of
the year. Now, this is the category that as I
mentioned earlier, is that is the category that Beyonce has
(32:58):
not won at you put that positive energy out there yet.
So she was nominated during her Destiny's Child days. I
don't think they won an Album of the year. She
was nominated obviously throughout her illustrious solo career and never
one album of the year. What you gotta think about that?
(33:20):
And jay Z brought that up too. She has the
most Grammy wins of any artists, not any hip hop artists,
not any R and B artists, not any black artists,
not any woman artists, anybody who ever stepped in the
booth to record a song. She has more Grammys than
(33:44):
all of you, but doesn't have Album of the Year
under her belt. That kind of sticks a knife in
you a little bit. It's kind of like I got
all of these you know MVPs or you know, Defensive
Player or Offensive Player of the Years, MVPs, you know
(34:04):
all of these things, you know, Player of the Week,
Player of the month, you know, the Walter Payton Award,
all of this other you know shit, the highest you know,
all this other shit, but I never won, you know,
the championship. You know, whether you want to in this analogy,
whether you want to consider it. Well, I just said MVP,
so yeah, so this is called the championship. She hasn't
(34:26):
won the championship, but she has all of these other accolades.
That's more than everybody else. That kind of would stick
to you because it's like I got It's like it's
like the dude who get all the bitches, but there's
this one bitch he can't get.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
For whatever reason, he can't get this.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Bitch, and he puts in you know, he you know,
all the work, all of the preparation, all of this shit,
and for whatever reason, he can't get this bitch, and
he's frustrated.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
He mad, He's like, bro, like, what the funck this
bitch don't like.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Me for That's the energy that I kind of feel
with Beyonce and Cowboy Carter. I got, I got all
these I got all these niggas, but this nigga don't
want to fuck with me. Now she's switching it all
up to get this nigga's attention, this album of the year.
(35:22):
To get this nigga's attention, she went on ahead and
switched it up. Yet the country album still got R
and B in the hip hop vibes. But you know,
like like like for example, let's go because it breaks
down to people who she work with, keep them out.
This is a country music album. Let's say we can
recognize some of the names that's a part of this project.
(35:44):
The Dream, Okay, we know he probably written some shit.
Dave Hamlin, Okay, Yeah, they're in the mix producers. Okay.
I ain't never heard of anoe of them before. I'm
not saying they ain't nobody, but I ain't never heard
any of the num before. Okay. Obviously I know Rafael
Sidiq for sure, So again I don't know the other individuals,
(36:09):
but The Dream and Rafael Sidik, I do know they're
definitely songwriters for sure. So if you think about it,
the Dream in Raphael Sidik is writers on a country album.
And I'm not saying that they've probably never done any
other outside genre before. Again, because I don't listen to
that many music and songs outside of my genre of
(36:30):
hip hop and R and b but I know that
their pens are nice. But I'm hoping these other names
that I'm looking at here are individuals who are part
of the country world, because if not, then it's gonna
be very, very hard for Beyonce to win any of
these categories because you're not in their world. So it's
(36:54):
like you are gonna seem like, you know, a cultural vulture.
So that's Beyonce for Album of the Year. And as
I mentioned earlier, Kennick Lamars Got has seven nominations off
of a song, not even a whole album, but in
this particular album, Beyonce's a major threat is always gonna
(37:15):
be Taylor Swift. I was talking with again newslady friend
across the across the way. I asked her up, like,
who you think is gonna win the Super Bowl? She
was like the Chiefs. I'm like, wrong answer, and I
showed her my Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl keychain from last
time I saw that. Well, we about to get it.
(37:36):
I'm about to get another one of these. You see
how old and dingy this one is. I'm about to
go give me another one, and she says, she, you know,
the swiftiest. She she believes the brand of the Swifties,
that the NFL is not gonna let the Swifties be heartbroken. Man,
fuck them Swifties, fuck them bitches. All y'all about to
be fucking.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Sad and mad and angry.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
And all this other shit. And normally I don't even
had that type of energy when dudes try to talk.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I was like, man, look, we's gonna play the game.
He's gonna do what we do.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
But no, if the Swifties is gonna make a decision
between my team getting another championship and then or the Chiefs,
three peting fuck.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
No, mm hmmm, got me fucked up.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Fuck you Swifties. But it's ain't a conversation about the
Swifties and not a conversation about my Eagles or the Chiefs.
So let's just keep it moving. Song of the Year.
This is one of those song writer awards that they
give out, So Beyonce is not in this particular category,
but Kendrick Lamar is for not like, oh you know what,
I am bugging my bad? I see they write it
(38:42):
in a funky way. The song writer is in parentheses.
Who's the person who's gonna hold let me see. Artist
names aren't parentheses. Okay, so the artist is in parentheses,
the songwriter is not. So basically, if you don't know
who Sean Cook is or Gerrold Jones or Joe Kent
or Shaboozie Collins, Obi nil whatever, I'm not just butchered
(39:04):
a lot of names. Nevin Sastre and Mark Williams, those
are all songwriters on Shabousi's a bar song. Okay, makes sense.
So Beyonce isn't there with Texas hold Him along with
Kendrick Lamar not like us, so okay, and Taylor Swift's
in there too. Lady guy got with Bruno Mars. So
it's heat in this situation right here. So how much
(39:29):
did you love Texas hold him? You know you got
Shabouzi with the bar song. I think he got jerked
at the Country Music Awards as well. So it's like
black people y'all doing country music? Miss us with that.
But Maclamore can get a Grammy just saying though, all right,
so best new Artists, all right. So obviously Kendrick and
(39:50):
Beyonce is not in that Producer of the Year. Let's
see if their records is in this real quick. Okay,
Beyonce got something for Amn, it's all producing stuff. Oh okay,
Now the dude, I was it, fuck it fitchuk Okay,
(40:12):
he produced on a men so okay, So I guess
does beyond well No, I guess the producer will get
that situation. But let's just keep it moving. Let's keep
it moving to more Beyonce centric shit. Songwriter of the
Year non classical, all right, so that's some other shit
for the songwriters. Okay, beyond one of beyonce songs in
(40:35):
this joint too, I don't know if that counts as
the eleven and she gets credit for our Best Pop
Solo Performance Beyonce with Bodyguard. Okay, haven't heard it because
I said I didn't consume too much of Beyonce's songs.
But we all know the major situation that Beyonce is
(40:55):
trying to get. She's trying to get that Album of
the Year. So no matter any of these other things
that I mentioned for her nomination Levi's Jeans, Beyonce with
Post Malone, Best Pop Duo Group Performance, none of this
stuff in the grand scheme of things matter if Beyonce
does not win Album of the Year, because that's why
(41:19):
she did the quote unquote wrestling heel term, even though
I don't mean wrestling hill term, she doesn't mean to anybody,
but the wrestling heel term is when you do a
total flip of who you are, who you're known for.
And she's known for hip hop and R and B
and older that, and she stepped into the country world rightfully,
so it's all love is all good, and she's trying
to get Album of the Year. In that aspect, it's
(41:40):
basically like when you go to a new team after
you make like a big fuss, it's like, well, you
better win a championship. You did a lot of shit
talking and a lot of you know what I'm saying,
fucking round for the fucking ride to get on this squad.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
You better win this championship.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
So hopefully Beyonce gets that thing popping again, that thing going.
So Kendrick Lamar situation is a little different for me
because Kendrick Lamar is only nominated for Not Like Us.
He's only so he has seven nominations for Not Like Us.
I'm trying to go through some more of the other
stuff real quick that he's nominated for as well. But
(42:19):
I know the earliest stuff with the song of the
year and all of that stuff, and the writer's version
of that particular one obviously best rap performance. Kendrick not
like us. He's in there with future Metro Bullman on
a song that he's on as well, like that Glorilla
with Yeah Glow, eminem Doc Cardi b with Enough Miami,
Common and Pete Rock when the Sun shines again that
(42:42):
fire joint right there, because I know it's fire because
Common and Pete Rock of Fire. But the reason why
I'm bringing this up is because how much do you
hate Drake? Because if Kendrick sweeps every category because his
song was the biggest song of the year and it
was only out for three months of twenty twenty four,
(43:05):
give it, give I get a little bit more, like
He'll say, five months. You I mean from like the
back end of summer, all the way through the back
end of summer, all the way through. It was Kendrick
Lamar and he got it popping real quick because he
could have he could have submitted it for next year,
but it got too much motion, it got too much energy.
Might as well do that shit this year. And I'm
(43:29):
looking at all of this stuff, and you know, again
again I keep saying this.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Over and over and over again, how much do you
hate Drake?
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Because if you hate Drake more than let's say you
like Glrilla, or you hate Drake more than you like
Future in metro Boomer's project, you hate Drake more than
you like Eminem coming back with the nostalgia, also common
in Pete Rock coming back with the nostalgia, or you
(44:01):
hate Drake more than you like Cardi B just always
dropping songs and singles every which way and not giving
out a whole album. If you hate Drake more than
you like all of those people, then Kendrick Lamar's gonna
sweep this whole motherfucking thing. Because we can go all
down the list of every nomination that Kendrick's in right now,
(44:25):
and you have to ask yourself, do I hate Drake
more than I like these? Because it's just going to
basically be like a gut punch to Drake, Like this
man dished you and said all of this stuff about
you and he got all of these Grammys. Again, remember
what I told you guys, The Grammys is the super
Bowl of music. So if I run it up at
(44:51):
the super Bowl at your expense and the whole world
knows it jeez insane, especially what's gonna go on a
super Bowl two? So another song that Kendrick Lamar is
nominated and along with some heavy hitters not like US
as nominated with Like That Opposite the Future of Metro
(45:12):
Bolman featureing Kendrick, Kanye West, Tie Dallas, Soign with Carnival,
rhaps with Asteroids and Guerrilla where Yeah Glow again? Do
you hate Drake more than you like Glrilla? Do you
hate Drake more than you like Future in Metro? Do
you hate Drake more than you like Kanye'sida sogn Do
you hate Drake Moore, then you like Rhapsody? Because if
(45:35):
you hate Drake more than you like all of them,
Kendrick's gonna get that motherfucker too. Just saying though, like
it is what it is, and again that's what I'm
more or less interesting. I know it's not the most
musical thing, because, like I said, if if I don't
listen to all of the music that's in these nominations
and in these categories, then I'm not a good pundit
(45:57):
for you to break down an analyt Some of you
might have been here for that, but nah, I'm here
for the storylines within the storylines, because that's how we
have to make this shit interesting. It's just like when
I tell my son about school. My son always says
he's bored with school. There's nothing popping, there's nothing going on,
because he's just he's just too smart for school. But
(46:18):
unfortunately he has to be in school because he's in
a little fifteen year old body, so he has no choice.
But it goes that's all on that. I'm like just him, like, bro,
you have no choice, bro, Like as smart as you are,
or as smart as you think you are, or as
dumb as you think the work is and all of
that stuff, you don't get the chance to choose that.
So you're pretty much stuck. So just as sell in
what you are selling, be smart, get it popping, and
(46:40):
go keep it moving from there. And I have to
bribe him to get kid to maintain good grades. I mean,
he gets good grades anyway, but I have to financially
incentivize him because it's that type of party, you know.
I mean, I got to make sure that he ain't
out here in these streets wild and and all of that.
You feel me. So with Kendrick again not dropping an album,
best rap album, he's not in there. Okay, that's not
(47:01):
a category for him. Jazz, that's not a category at all.
I mean, it is a category I'm talking about in
this conversation. Shout out to Andre three thousand. He got
like a couple of nominations in that joint though too
for that flute album that I heard was bang uh, nope, nope, okay, okay,
So solo country performance, we're back into the Beyonce conversation
(47:25):
for sixteen carriages. Now, the other stuff that we had
mentioned earlier was it's obviously an ensemble of everybody else.
You know, it's your pop, your hip hop, and all
of that stuff. So that's great too. Now we're talking
about Beyonce being nominated in the genre of music that
she is trying to quote unquote infiltrate is what we're
(47:48):
trying to do right now. So again, I don't know
nothing about jelly roll. I heard it jelly rolling. It
ain't like the TUTSI roll, but it's jelly roll though.
Casey mcgrave's christ ableson again, I've heard of those artists.
I know that they do good work. Is just country
music just isn't my jam to listen to. So you
tell me how they are professionally and how they rank cool.
(48:08):
I'll rat it on that, but I can't rate it
on feelings of Oh I like this song and all
of this stuff, because I don't know. I haven't even
heard Beyonce sixteen Carriages, and I don't even think I've
heard of a bar song all the way through, except
if I hear it through a commercial or maybe when
he performed it, you know, during Thanksgiving and Detroit maybe,
but even then, I'm no good in that. All right,
(48:30):
So Beyonce has the Best Country Duo Group Performance nomination
as well, featuring Miley Cyrus. Was it too? Most Wanted? Yep, too,
most wanted?
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Dan and Shay.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
I know about them, you know, they them country due
Funny Miller commercial by the way, Post Malone and Morgan Whalen,
Brothers Osborne, Kelsey Bellerina with Noah Kahan, Like, okay, I
know of them, well, not the last people. Everybody else
I did, Brothers Osborne and Danny shadd did, and Morgan Whalen,
(49:04):
but everybody else, no, I don't. I'm sorry, I don't.
Best Country song again. This is a songwriter song. So
the people who's responsible for SHABOOSI is a bar song,
which is crazy because it reminds me of an article
that I have read not too long ago where Chingy
not a chingy Ja Kwan was trying to get a
(49:26):
songwriter credit on a bar so on tipsy because it's
really that same vibe, like I meanly lyric is come
on like if you When I say the same vibe,
I don't mean the same vibe like sound and energy
because one is a country song, one is a rap song.
But everybody in the club get tipsy and then you
(49:49):
know something now, now don't want them ball like it's
it's the same sentiment to say the least, Like if
I'm in a country bar getting drunk, I'll feel the
same way if I was listening to the the song.
So that's just me personally. But Beyonce is in a
category with Da along with Post Malone and Morgan Whalen,
Jelly Rol, you know the usual suspects from that last
(50:09):
category of best country duo performance. They're in their solo
right now with that Texas hold Beyonce joint best Country album.
Now again, this is different than best overall album. We're
just see this is again, this is one of those
(50:30):
specific categories in which I believe Beyonce has one of these,
but she don't got the other one. This is probably
I would say, like if you if you're in the
sports world, this is like the equivalent of winning Eastern
Conference MVP type situation. What I'm saying, I want the
(50:51):
Eastern Conference MVP. I won my conference. That's what this
is by you know, the genre best country album again
and with post Malone case mcgrad's Christapleton Landy Wilson, which again,
you guys remember post Malone, isn't he the rapper that
was on twenty one Savage song with twenty one Savage Yeah,
(51:14):
rockstar post Malone be on that rap shit too. But again,
no one said anything about post Malone doing rap music,
but people are saying stuff about Beyonce doing country music.
Just saying, though, guys, gotta call out the hypocrisy when
I see it. A see what else we got go
(51:37):
on here? Just scrolling through Best Americana Performance, Yah yah.
I think that's one of the joints that she performed
as well. Beyonce has a lot of nominations and again,
none of these winnings that I'm filtering through, I think
that might be all of them. For real, none of
these nominations that I'm filtering through right now will mean nothing.
(52:03):
If Beyonce doesn't get Album of the Year, overall album
of the Year, not Country music album of the Year.
If she doesn't get that popping, then all of this
was for not now. Again, within herself, she might say, well,
I did a country album, I did what I love,
I did the craft, and you know I love it.
(52:24):
But we all know when you have the most nominations
of anybody who've ever stepped in the booth to record
a song and there's one award that you have never
ever won, I would not blame her fulfilling a certain
(52:47):
type of way. Just sand though. So this is SS
