Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm a homegrow that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
You know, if you don't lie about that? Right, Hey, y'all,
what's up.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's Laura l Rosa and this is another episode of
the Latest.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
With Laura l. Rosa.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
and all of the conversations that shake the room.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Baby.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Now we're back again with another episode of the Latest.
And y'all know we always check in behind the scenes
of the Grind when we kick it off, so let's
do it checking it in behind the scenes of the Grind.
How am I feeling today? Really checking in with myself?
I don't know. I feel content sounds like such a
bad word because content sounds like.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Not stuffy. I think stuffy is the wrong word to
describe content.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Content sounds like there's no like passion or like motivation
or like you know, like that inspiration to get up
and go this week. It just sounds like a little blah.
So it's not content. But I'm feeling good. I have
no complaints. Finally got a little bit of rest over
these last couple of days. I was late to work
the other day, so I got a lot of rest,
and I guess I'm filling back into the things today,

(01:11):
though admittingly, waking up this morning, I just felt a
bit disconnected, like for some reason, my body still thinks
that I'm on vacation because we took a break from
some of the other shows that I do outside of
the podcast to Breakfast Club, you guys know, and then
the jay Z weekend hit, and that felt like I
was at like a music festival. So my body is

(01:31):
very confused, Like it's like, girl, are we getting up
every morning and going to work or are we sleeping in,
getting up, going to have a drink, going to party somewhere,
getting in at four am, and doing it all over
again the next day.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
So once I get through that, I'll be good. But
the problem with that.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Is is this weekend, I'm heading home to celebrate some
really personal things with family. I'll talk to you guys
more about it at the top of next week. I'll
be able to get into it. But y'all know, family
always brings me like joy, but it also always brings
the drink.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
So we're back outside of him this week, y'all.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Now speaking of being outside, as we transition on into
the latest We've been talking a lot about jay Z's
weekend here in New York, all the three shows that
he did at Yankee Stadium. We had Memphis Bleak on
the Breakfast Club this week Literally the day after jay
Z's final show at Yankee Stadium, Memphis Bleak came out

(02:24):
on stage with jay Z on Friday. Let's take a
listen to Memphis Bleak and jay Z on Friday at
the jay Z Reasonable Dout.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
So following this and following the weekend, he pulls about
the Breakfast Club and we talk about a ton of things.
But of course we got to get some inside of
information right because there it was rumor, like people really thought,
because you know, Foxy Brown's brother had posted some things
on Twitter, Foxy Brown had cleared her Instagram and she was.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Only following jay Z.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
We thought that Foxy Brown was going to come out
at those shows this weekend. I didn't even see her.
Like it was to the point where there was one
point where we were in the suite. I stood up
because Envy was like, Yo, this gotta be Foxy coming out.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
And then nobody came out but jay Z.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
So we were trying to figure out what she actually
there because it was rumored that she was supposed to
be there.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Let's take let'sen to Memphis, spak Yo.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
I heard through the Grayvine. I don't know how true
it is. It's just what I heard. They said fox
was dead, and.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I wanted to see her, Like even if I just
walked past her, I just wanted to see her in
real life too.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I ain't seen nobody. I've seen Gaff had the word up,
shout out Gaff. But they said she was there.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
They kept.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
That's what I heard. I don't know how true it is,
but you know, rumor has it what it.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Is about, you know, Foxy Brown, and like my obsession
with her still to this day, Like I know why
my obsession started, like brown skin, beautiful, you know, talk
her ish. I've always loved female rap girls because I've
always looked at them like these are the girls that

(04:18):
are like they got the power, they know how to
talk slick, the boys respect them, they got money. You know,
it's the fashion they fly, they set in the trends.
But with Foxy Brown, for me, I think it goes
deeper than that because I, oh my like her, little
kim like looking at them, Calise seeing Brown skin girls

(04:38):
just like run it up and be like like Little
Kim was literally a fashion icon.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Foxy Brown.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Literally, we still referenced Foxy Brown's looks, her hairstyles, her
liner with the lipgloss and the dark lipstick when I'm
putting a lot of myself together when I'm going to
these places. So as I'm waiting for her to come
out this weekend, two times, y'all got excited and it
didn't happen. I thought Sunday we were in line to

(05:06):
get in when all the craziness was happening, and my
boyfriend thought he heard somebody say, yo, Foxy Brown on
her way up. When I tell y'all got so excited,
like I was like almost shaken, didn't happen. I really
wonder she has not responded to this officially yet to
Memphis Bleak stating that she.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Was actually there. He heard that she was actually there.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I really wonder if this is true, and if so,
like I wish at least if this is true, I
wish at least someone would have said to her, even
if you don't want to get on stage and perform,
because it has.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Been so long since we have seen.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
That, if that would have happened, it would have shut down,
Like jay Z already shut the world down, like it
was already pit stop, everybody talking about ja Z, everybody's
at the concerts, everybody's watching the concerts through social media.
But Foxy Brown coming on stage, Kanye West popat Don
on stage.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
There are certain moments that if.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
People had been able to see that in real time, oh,
we would have shut things down on a whole other level.
I wish she had just even came out and said hello,
or allowed jay Z to even say that she was
in the building, if she really was, like honestly, just
for the fans and just for like that era of
like like it girls, and honestly, like even thinking about

(06:21):
the world the word it girl, the first people I
think of her like a little Kim and a Foxy Brown,
Like they originated so much vibe that like we still
subscribe to today. I just wanted her to like come
in person and feel that love, like Foxy Brown stays
out the way. There's always been a conversation about you know,
her having like a medical condition where she's not able

(06:43):
to hear the same way, and just just certain things
that she's always stayed away from since taking a step
back from being on stage, performing, rapping, putting out music.
But I really think sometimes artists of a certain cloth
and artists of a certain time period in real time today,
they need to feel the love, like they need to know,

(07:04):
like even if she never drops music again, there's a
lot of us out here, like chanting the lyrics from
Ain't no n word, I was gonna say the actual word,
wud y'all. I'll be trying not to really lack cuss
on here, and that's not a cussword, but you just
didn't whatever.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
But I think she needed to feel it. I think
if she would have felt that.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
There was a post that her brother put up on
x saying that he had had a conversation with her.
I think it was her brother with somebody that this
was before the concerts even kicked out that weekend, that
they had had a conversation with Foxy Brown. It was
a long conversation. They said that she was in a
great mental space. They said that she was super proud
of JZ and everything that he was about to do
in New York, and that she was potentially talking about
doing music, like there's there's going to be some new

(07:44):
music if she had felt that love in that stadium,
I think we would have for sure gotten that music.
I'm not even tripping off the music. I just want
to see her in person.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's it. That's all all right, y'all. So speaking of.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Getting love, getting flowers, paving away, creating things, creating vibes, energy,
iconic looks, and all of the things, Time one hundred
drop their creators lists, so they have revered black Boy
Max is here. They also have an Entertainment and Performance
creators a list that includes a Landria and let me
tell y'all something about miss Alandrier girl. Okay, Love Island,

(08:20):
her departure from Love Island and everything that has come
after for her has been she is literally one to
study like, I look at her another dark skin, brown skin.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
However, y'all label the chocolate girls.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I look at her and I'm like, yo, she is
out here, like when I say, killing it. Whatever team
she put in place once she decided that she was
going to continue to stay in an entertainment space. Following
at reality show, God blessed her that team. God blessed
her like the strategy and the things that they are
maneuvering like, so I was running around last fashion Week

(08:56):
and I ran into her a lot.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
She was like the girl.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Her and Shelley have become like the girls from that show,
especially like, you know for black women who were looking
at you know, black women on this reality show that
is dating and you know all of the things. But
fashion and beauty have literally taken those girls in and
have not let them go. Alandria did a spread with MAC.

(09:18):
There was a campaign that she did with MAC. And
when I I mean she had done a ton of
stuff leading up to that, right, like photo shoots and
just they're just positioning.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Her the right way.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
But when I saw the photo shoot that she did
with MAC, I was like, the brand strategy is eating
right now. Like there are celebrities who don't understand how
to maneuver their last greatest whatever, greatest hit, greatest song.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Greatest design, Like you're only as good as your last thing.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
And there's a lot of bigger celebrities than Alandria who
don't know how to navigate once they get that big thing,
that partnership with the MAC. Not only has she been
putting herself in a space where she can become a
brand darling, which is important for her, She's an influencer.
But to me, I think the story like watching her
maneuver and figure out these things has also become a

(10:14):
big conversation around her HBCU grad. I learned that at
Essence Festival she was spoken. She was supposed to speak
on the HBCU panel that we aired here on the
Latest with Lauren Rosa. You could check out that episode
previous to this one, or we put this up prior
to this on so CO in search and you'll see it.
But yeah, like she does things in the HBCU space,

(10:34):
but seeing people be able, so she black people be
able to navigate the mainstream media world. And I don't
mean mainstream media like being a journalist or like you know,
news and headlines. I mean like pop culture. Like being
able to navigate pop culture for us is never difficult
because we literally like we create the vibes, but being

(10:57):
able to monetize it in a way that is luke
that you were able to live very well off of
and that you're not exploiting yourself or doing things that
don't elevate the conversation around you. For some reason, we
when it comes to like our team and our business,
it doesn't always end up the best way, Like, oh

(11:18):
my god. We talked a lot about Tiana Taylor this week,
and especially because Essence Festival and her and the Auntie
is curating within the festival al and with the Essence team,
and Tianna Taylor is one of those people who I
feel like has always been very hands on about her career,
her brand and all the things right talking about creators
and even she has been very vocal about how she

(11:38):
had to fight fight fight fight fight, Uh for people
to like open the door and like allow her to
be what she's being so to see Landria, you know,
figuring that out very early on in the way that
she is doing.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
I am so proud of her.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
We almost interviewed her at the BET Awards when I
was doing the pre show carpet with Roxy J simply
in Bow Wow, but we ran out of time. But
even then I was literally like the couple moments we
had together, I think it was about like five or
ten minutes before they pulled her off of the carpet
and took her into the show.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
I was just telling her, like, Yo, watching you navigate is.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Like like Yo, I'm looking at you, like Okay, here's
how we should be moving. Here's how we should be
showing up, because one thing leads to the other. Seeing
her that polish and manipulate and maneuver branding and all
that stuff the way she has been doing it, Like
I really want to see like where all this lands,
Like what is her totem poll of goals? Where when

(12:34):
she gets there, it's like, Okay, here's the space we're
going to see her in forever. Also on this list,
drew Ski speaking of creators who hosted the BT Awards,
Alandria was a part. They had like a little skit
that they did together where you know, when he was
pretending to be the pastor and she was at the
fust seat. But Drewski's been on every top creator list
of every whatever for the last year or two. He's

(12:55):
having a hell of a year. Mark Phillips as well,
there's a sports there's a sports category. There's a sports
category here. I don't even got chefs, home cooks and
food creators. Wow that's different. Yeah, I mean, shout out
to everybody that made the list, Shout out to everybody
that hasn't made the list yet. Aka me, I want

(13:18):
to be on the time Top one hundred creators list,
I do. I think even though people yell and scream
that stuff like that doesn't matter for me. I think
it always feels good when people recognize the work that
you're putting in. Because people look at creators, whether they
create online, whether it's in a kitchen, whether it's you know,
on the radio, and I think people love to say

(13:40):
it doesn't take talent to do that, or it's easy
to do that, or you know, even with like a
person like drewski, like you can't argue that doesn't take
talent to do what he does right, But there are
people that will argue, you know, that that could so
easily be duplicated, and people can try, people are trying.
There's people doing everything that we just talked about with
these creators. But what guys for yous for you and

(14:02):
when people recognize what God has had for you and
how He is bestoted upon you and how you are,
you know, being a good steward of that and best
feeling ever, best freaking feeling ever. So congratulations to everybody.
I'm on my way, sell list, I promise, y'all, this
has been another episode of the Latest with Laurna Rosea. Y'all,
I tell y'all every single episode. Y'all could have been

(14:23):
anywhere with any old body talking about all of the things,
but y'all choose to be right here with your girl,
my low Riders.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I appreciate you. I'll catch you in my next one.
