Speaker 1 (02:26):
I seriously, I've always said like I wish. I just
said that the other day, like I wish. No, I
don't want to do it because I'm not as good
as like I would want to be. But I think
we was listening to like some old comment. I'm like, yo,
I really wish that I had the ability to rap,
but like rap like that like a real like like
common black thought, like you know, like Foxy, like it
(02:47):
got to be like some where you like feel it
in your soul, in your spirit.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, if whatever you choose to do with your life,
I support you. Except DJ and like ceremonial things, if
you ever have like a graduation.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Or a wedding. I just asked head to DJ my wedding, y'all.
I was like, yo, we get married. He was like,
I don't do weddings.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I was like, my wedding is not going to be
like oh wedding.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
This is going to be like a culture phenomena, like
they gonna want Part two of a wedding. He like,
I don't do weddings because brides are hell. And I'm like,
I'm not going to be hell. I'm my hell. I'm
so easy going ish, depending on the vibe most of
the time.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And he was like, all women are hell.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Okay, can I tell you the truth about.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Honestly, I feel like he wanted to say all black
women are hell, but he just support black women.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So my whole team is a black women. But that's
not just besides the point. Okay, can I just tell
you briefly. This is not none to do with the latest,
but I'll tell you briefly.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Well, hold on before you tell me briefly, we do
check in behind the scenes of the ground.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
We haven't seen each other, we haven't talked.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
We haven't talked in a while, like normally I'm calling
ahead and like he's literally like like coaching.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Me through a lot of the things.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Out.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
You know what's crazy. I think you have to really
know me to know that I'm like a crash out.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Like because other than that, I think people think and
I love because you're very poised, yes, so, and I
love that you know, people are like you know, they
see it all together. But I'm like, in real life,
I think anybody that's like really passionate about what they
do or creative and like passionate at the same time,
the elimited crash out that you're willing to do is
insane and you need somebody that like gathers you. And
(04:24):
this year or last year, twenty twenty five, I feel
like God really blessed me with a lot of people
in my life that like gather me together. So we're
checking it behind the scenes of the grind Head is like,
you know, captain, don't crash out, go now tell your story.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Okay. So it's just I wasn't talking about the DJ thing.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Real quick, Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So it's just that people are inconsiderate, which I'm sure. Okay.
For instance, like people think radio hosts, they think podcasts
all you do is just sit and talk. It's like, oh,
you don't understand that there's research. If you have an
author on the show, you have to read the book. Yeah,
if you have. If I have the cast the Beauty
in Black on my show, I have to watch the
entire season so that way I can speak to their
(05:03):
character arcs.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
What's your preparation to djail.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
The DJ whenever someone asked do a wedding. Okay, let's
let's run a scenario. Hey, can I ask you asked
me can I do your wedding? Right?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I'm married and I didn't even finish asking you.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, they don't want to sit through this. How many hours?
How many hours do you? Like, when do you need
me to DJ?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I don't know the time slot.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, no, no, just to me. How many hours? Do you know?
How long? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Probably for like two hours?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So you need me to J for two hours because
it's going to be like a like our our reception
is going to be like a like a like kind
of like almost like a DJ, like you know, it's
like multiple sets.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, yes, so two hours? Okay? Bet. So typically when
people ask you the DJ, let's say you need for
two hours. Let's say it's six to eight right, Okay,
that's not necessarily including setup time, that's not including rehearsals,
that's not including anything. So when people be like, oh,
how much for an hour? I mean how much for
two hours? No, you're asking me how much for two weeks?
(06:04):
Because I mean and then also the two hours usually
comes with with the sound systems and stuff like people
don't usually equate that into their into their thing. And
what I've also this is all trauma. Yeah. I've also
dumping right now is people never include the DJ and
the head count for meals. They don't feed you. Well,
I have door dashed at a wedding, but don't you have.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I just assume this because you're so particular about everything
else in your life? Are you very particular about what
you eat?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm pescatarian, okay, and I don't do eggs.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Whoa Okay, Well, first of all, it'll be a little
bit different over on this side because between me and
Bay like we're like like we're producing in events and
we do that and have done it for some time,
dealing with talent, you.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Know what I mean. Like, it's it's it's a little
bit different over here.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'm down, down, you're my friend. I'm down to make
sure you.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Get a little what fish you fish a little fish
like you'll get the fish that you need because the prescatary, yes,
do you not eat certain fish?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't need to lopy? What is that? Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
We won't have to add the wedding.
Speaker 2 (07:09):

Do you acknowledge it in real life?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I mean, yeah, the year that the day came.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
And when the day came, what did you do on
the day.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I sat in my draws in my office in my house,
and I worked, and then I went to go eat
with my mom.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And so you went out and did something with family.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It was kind of like, see women do this thing
where they make your shit about them. Like I told her,
I don't want to do anything, and she's like, well,
I want to take you out for your birthday your mom? Yeah, nigga,
what you mean human beings just make Okay, let me
ask my mom.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
That's a day for her too.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
She had you still, Yeah, but let me ask you
a question.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
That is a head that is so crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Let's take Mom's out of it. You're in a great relationship,
you have a great guy, make amazing god, great energy,
all of the things right, look at you Smith, you
discussed me. Okay, let's tell you something.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
DJ head is like one of the only people I
know who consistently is against anything that is like like regular,
like if you if it's like relationships, if it's like
the like just food, if it's anything that's like regular
and easy.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
He is a complete opposite.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Like just saying hello, hi, my name is DJ head'
is like hello, intertutural human, like I've never met a
person more different.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Well, I appreciate you. So let's say your your man's boyfriend,
your man's uh that pause, your man's birthday is coming,
and he tells you, hey, I'm a big fan of
the Lakers. What would you do? Oh, we're gonna go.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
To a Lakers game, probably Court signed. I probably try
to get him back.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Okay, why are you going?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Because where who else you going with?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Oh no, okay, let me okay, so look if no, okay,
so I probably would try and find a way to
ask if if it's a thing of like does he
want to go with the homies or does he like
I have to figure that out because I would want
it to be a surprise. But I don't give a
I'm not going to Sorry, I don't really cuss on
the podcast, and you're making me cussed a lot because
you're I'm not making you are because why can't I
(09:35):
go to the game?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I didn't say you couldn't go to the game. I'm saying,
why do you want to take him to the game?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Because I want to see him enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It's his birthday, yes, but why do you feel good
to see him? Why you want to feel good on
his birthday?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Because if I feel good, I mean, if he feels good,
I feel good, and then we feel good.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's my point. That's my point right there. I'm just saying,
your birthday is the one day that you're allowed to
be selfish and it's socially acceptable. Why can't my birthday
be what I want to do without interference from other humans,
regardless of their status in my life. So if I
want to sit in my draws and work on my
computer in my office with the door closed all day,
(10:15):
and I don't want you to pop up in my
house and surprise me with balloons and cake. I'm just asking, No, Gina,
Gina and my team surprised me at the radio station.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Oh yeah, I saw that video with balloon.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Balloons and cake.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
And I'm I'm it's okay to like, I'm not discounting
you want to like, if it's his birthday and I
love him, I want to make I want to see
him be happy.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
That makes me fuk makes me happy.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
It's my birthday.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I'm assuming I'm doing what makes you happy because I.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Know if I told you. Okay, let's say your boyfriend
told you, Hey, I want to sit at the house
and play call of duty for my whole birthday. I
don't want to hear from you. Don't call, don't pull.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Up all day.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah you cool with that? No, it's his.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Birthday, yes, but like we don't even like how I'm gon.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Go a whole day with It's his birthday, so basically
just all just in black and white. He can't do
what he want to do on his birthday. Oh my god,
you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I don't want to ask you like on principle boo,
because that's gonna be another three hours. About the systems
and the women and breaking down the patriarchy.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I'm just saying that it's it's just the way the
way things are set up. People are not allowed to
do what they want to do for them on in
the day is about them. I'm not saying that people
shouldn't celebrate you. And I'm very appreciative of my team
and my and my mom and everybody. But I'm just
saying I never I don't do that anymore. I used
to do that. I used to say, don't buy me nothing,
(11:45):
don't pull up, don't do I used to set boundaries
and people violate them anyway. So now I just let
people I put on you see me, I put on
the bullshit sash, you know what I'm saying. I put
on the little hat.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
But it don't feel.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Good though, to have some like have people in your
life that love you to want to celebrate you and
and like real people like I mean like not just
like people hitting you because they saw you pause. That's
all you post on Instagram about, you know, weren't you
donating something?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah? Every year, So it's funny because every I've been
doing that for the last ten years. I know, like
I hit everybody for money and shit like hey, I'm
I'm finna go to the skier row or I'm finna
donate to the fires or yep, I went to the Honduras,
the Doctor Saviie Village. We did a retreat. But I
do that every year for my birthday because hey, I
don't want it to be necessarily about me, so and
(12:32):
I know that people want to celebrate me. So I'm like, oh,
this is my time, this is my chance. I got
let's I got one hundred k thousand followers. If I
get two dollars from out of everybody, I could really
like help somebody. So that was my ideology when I
started doing that, and then it evolved into I just
launched my nonprofit.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
So congratulations and wait, am I allowed to say congratulations?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Or am I making this about me? Like you let
me know? Yes, congratulations non profit.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So where did you get to with the donations and
everything that you were trying to do?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
See? Actually, I can check it right now.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
People are still active. People still ask like, what seventy
two hours from your birthday?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Let me see what's the eighteen So it's like nineteen yeah,

People still donating, and it's like it's one dollar, two dollars,
you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not even tripping on.
I'm at thirteen hundred love it, thirteen hundred from this
and then I collected another thousand. So was that like
twenty three hundred?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
So where the listeners for all the low Riders that's
our podcast community.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Where can they go to.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Donate because they're going to hear this and they're gonna
want to make sure that they're only doing what you
want them to do. About your birthday?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Go to put your Foot on the Board dot com.
That's my website.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
What is hurt?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
The video here the explanation of what put your Foot
on the Board is because I thought that was a
great breakdown too.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, so you want to explain it? Oh no, you
put it put the video in. Okay, Yeah, now, I
just that's something that I've been wanting to do for
I've been working on this non profit for two years.
Me and my shout out to my cousin Corey, like
she's amazing with this stuff. She pretty much helped me
set everything up from a to z and it's it's
really hard to do something charitable in the United States. Yeah,
because because the people violate and stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
They also I think the government to this.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
They want they want to be a part of everything,
and they make sure Also I learned when I was
I'm still in the process of trying to figure out
nonprofit arn't for Bronco Grande. But when I was first
trying to do it, we kept being denied. I think
it's like the five.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
O one C five one three ye.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, we kept getting denied.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And then I had a girl reach out to me
from the office in Delaware, shout out to Aaron Chambers,
who was like, Hey, this happens a lot with black
like black owned nonprofits, and she created it literally like
her job is to make sure that like black non
or black owned nonprofits kind of get over that that line,
that threshold, because she says that it happens all the time.
(14:54):
And I'm like, with damn, but it's because I think
you know the money going.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I don't know if they know that we're black. Well
you should call brown girl.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah, mine is you can't get around Well no, let
me tell you a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Don't think brown grog grinding, and I get this pushback
all the time. They think that brown gog grinding is
for everybody brown, and look, I'm not opposed to everybody
brown feeling like it's a movement of theirs. But when
I created it, it was for black women. The brown
was my skin color. It wasn't me being a brown girl,
it was brown skin. It was very specific because I
(15:27):
don't like the whole people of color thing. I feel
like our experiences and not that I dislike people anybody else,
but I'm just being honest about the fact that, like,
I don't care if you're whatever you are your experiences.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
My experience is way different.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Especially it's a brown skin black girl, way different than
anybody else, Like you know what I mean, from hair
texture conversations to people everything.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
People got very upset when I said that. I tweeted
that and I got dragged. Is that what y'all say drag?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I got dragged for like for dirty?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Is that how you said drag for dirty?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's la drag for filthy?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Fithy, What did you tweet what you tweeted?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I tweeted, your life is just different when your mama
black it is. And I was just like because I
and your dad black eye witness. No, I'm just I
was just literally speaking on the plight of black women
specific I mean, I'm a black man, I know what
it is. But I was just I remember the looks
that my mom used to get from the whites when
(16:30):
she would take me place because she couldn't afford child care.
I remember like I could be under her desk playing
with my little toy or whatnot. And I remember the
way the white lady. I wish I could remember that
lady name. She worked at the Bicycle Club casino in
off seventeen Freeways.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
It's his birthday, he coming for every white lady that
ever been at She worked.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
At the Bicycle Club casino over there off the seventeen Freeway,
and I think it's in bail, in bail, she just
looked at my mom with just like discussed just it
was just not even discussed. It was worse than that,
like you're just nothing, like you just your bottom feet
and broke black bitch.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You know it's crazy for me my mom because my
mom is like really light, like skin full of face
full of hell yeah, face full of freckles, hair, textures
way different than mine. So when my mom used to
come to like school, like because I used to always
I've always been like this, so I was always doing
like a lot of stuff. Whenever she would come to stuff,
people would be like, that's not your mom. Like people said,
(17:29):
literally say to me, it's not your mom.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Who you're telling.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
And then I have, like I have like cousins who
like you know fully you know, fully black, but like
don't have cousins with like longer hair or different hair
textures as well too. I remember people being like those
not your cousins, and I'm like, what, like why do
we think? But it's that that's why for me, it's
not like I think when when you say anything about
(17:56):
being like black, like just supporting black, it's like make
it like you hate everything else. But for me, I
think now that I can say it where people can
hear me, I love being like, yeah, like you know,
I want all people to have good lives, especially I
understand if you're not white and your other shit can
get tough in your own situations. But like my experience
(18:17):
as a black girl, and I mean like a black
girl for real, it's a lot different, and they got
I said that on Brilliant Idiots, and people was pissed
off at me, and I'm like, oh, no, y'all don't
understand because like you are, if you're lighter skinned, if
you're and it's no hate. My mom is a very
lighter skinned woman with freckles, and you know what I mean, Like,
it's it's just a different it's just very different.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So I'm always like, hey, this is how I feel.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Always experiencing. I always tell people I'm not anti anyone,
I'm just pro us.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, But in the in the way that the world
is set up, especially with social media today, the minute
you say I'm pro us and you specify, we can't
get nothing specific like black girls, who's you know what
I mean? Hair curls when we sweat, we can't get
nothing specific because then it's like, oh, you hate everybody
and people feel away.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
But when you know.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'm not even going to yep.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah exactly. All right, Well let's get into some things.
We're going to get on into the Latest. Uh, the
head is going to be joining us for some of
the topics today. You ready, Oh, I ain't taking you
nowhere to mess No.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Remember last I was on the Latest last time, and
I forgot what we were talking about. Oh was it
the loss on me? And about some ship? I don't remember, yo,
about everything that I'm about to say, and I have
said I stand on that ship. How about that? All right?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
We didn't say you didn't you want to hear apologize
them before you even started. All right, Gina was supposed
to be here, by the way, genaviews, I really want
to do a sit down with her so we could
talk through career and just how everything like all of
our stuff kind of like aligned at the same time
and we were like simultaneously like put in an interview together.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
That's how I met her, and then all of a
sudden our life just start like changing at the same time,
and that's how.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
We like bonded, like going through the changes together.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
But gene Views is if you guys have not seen
effective immediately with DJ Head and GENA Views is a
show based here out of la which is like, you know,
pop culture music takes but y'all have taken over. Really yeah,
I think you guys are because a lot of show
a lot of people have shows and you know, do
content and stuff like that. It reviews and critiques and
(20:35):
stuff but I think for you guys to be new,
for people to have just gotten too no Gena throughout
twenty twenty five, you got people place you guy, like
they listen and they respect your take. You know, like
that's hard to get respect in a certain genre because
everybody's doing so much noise.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I agree, So I think you guys have taken over
for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Try to make sure we navigate it properly. I don't
it be some it's it's it's get into resting in
the group chats.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
You know what I'm saying, What has your journey been like?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Because one of the things that I love about you
is you support Gena so much, right Like it's like
like people can't play with Gina because the head is coming.
What is your journey been like? Just kind of it's
almost like breaking an artist a little bit. It is like,
what has your journey been like? Just kind of helping
her as she grows in career and like, you know,
helping her navigate things.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I so it's a few things that happened. The first
thing that happened is I resented the people that came
before me, and I resented them because I didn't feel
which feelings yes, did your head has feelings?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
That's another thing, y'all. He don't believe in like feelings.
He feels like they're.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Like, well, not just synthesize them, but so.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
This means crazy. He feels like it's like a pill
you took on accidents.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
When it came to like I felt the way about
the people that came before me.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
In Gina's life, No before me, like when I was
when I was coming up.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
And actually, interestingly enough, I don't know if you know
who to me bad Luck is. I was gonna have
a convert I want on one conversation with one person
in particular about how I felt how they handled quote
unquote the rock when they had the rock right, and
bad Luck was like, why are you the god? Like
you don't need to do that anymore, like let it go,
and I let it go. Did never bring it up.
He's the guy that I was gonna talk to. Still
(22:18):
don't know that I was gonna have this uncomfortable conversation
with him, almost like a father, like hey, nigga, you
fucked up. Yes you know what I'm saying. But anyway,
after that, I put that aside. Then the second thing
that happened was the overwhelming embracement, like embrace that I
got from Charlemagne, from Sway and Big Boy and DJ DIDs.
(22:41):
Those are the four people that I mean. Steve Harvey's
in there too, but I didn't know him. But DJ
Dinz kind of kicked everything off of me the way
he just embraced me day one. He let me shadow
him follow He did it for the Clippers now, but
back in the day he ran the radio in LA
and everything, and it was just like, I want to
do what you do. And then and then when I
got and then Charlemagne randomly Glasses had my big homa.
(23:05):
Ge Malone had told I owe.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Him to sit down to every time I come to
Lam supposed to sit down.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
G told Charlotte I really wanted to get on the
radio when they launched the iHeart station here in LA,
and Charlotte just hit the powers up and was like
hired eja and I got hired. And you know, he's.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Always champion for you guys, like effective immediately should be
like the radio show in LA.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
And then Sway, sent for a decade, has been telling
everybody that I'm the one. I'm the one. And then
when I got an iHeart big Boy was like you're
the guy, and then they just all like embracing. So
I was like, I remember what that felt like because
you come up and you're looking up to these people.
And then so I was like damn, and I just
couldn't find the right person. I tried a couple of
(23:50):
times where I was like, I want to do that
with someone else. Because Charlemagne told me that you're not
a legend if your treat don't grow fruit. Yeah, so
I'm like, damn, all right, I want to be a
fucking legend. But not even it's not self serving. But
it was more like I remember when people when I
was like, hey, I'm trying to get your attention, like
(24:10):
help me look at me, and then it's this black
girl over here and and our homegirl chart hit me
in Solace up. One day it was just like, y'all
need to go help Gena views from Netflix.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
She is.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
She is Jenkins. We've been friends a year.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Get shout out to her.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
She is when I tell you, she's like I don't
even know, maybe like a whisper, but she has helped
me so much on the back end just in what
I do too.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
That's what we did my circle. People don't know, Like
there's rumors about my circle, like I'm in a secret
group chat where a black baller. No, huh yeah. But
my circle is just really good human beings that want
to see other people prosper, the good ones, the people
that's not doing bullshit, you know, taking advantage. But whatever.
(24:56):
So when the Gena thing happened and I just hit
her up, I didn't mean me and my team, we
didn't really know she needed anything. I thought she was
just booming.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Even when I met you where she couldn't say it.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Even when I met you when you were at that
place and I came over there just before breakers came.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I was at TMZ and Head came to dom hip Hop,
so DJ Head was a part of TMZ hip Hop
and I was working in the newsroom.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And I didn't even know, Like, I didn't know that
you felt how you felt there.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
When would I be able to say.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that I'm saying
from my lens because Salas calls it our male privilege.
So once I realized that we have male two things happen.
One is that is when I realized that, oh, these
women don't actually say anything. They don't. You're not going
to say, hey I need help, or hey I need guidance,
or hey I need you to mentor me, or hey
(25:50):
I need you to throw me a bone or hey,
you know. But ever since I realized that, I started
doing that. So I just called Gina one day. I
was like, Hey, I don't know what you need help with,
but I'm like, I'm willing to help you do whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Cause a lot of times it's like number one, you
just don't know who you can trust, and if you're
a woman in a certain space, like when I don't
because with the time when y'all had started TMC hip hop,
my mom had just gotten to a point where like
she wasn't having to be in the hospital all the time.
So I moved it to LA just so I could
get back to work because I was told if I
didn't come back in the office, I might not have
a job.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
So I had to move my mom to LA.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
She did not want to be here, but she came
because she knew that I needed to go back to work,
Like she understood how important my job was for us,
so she came. So I was dealing with that at
home but I've been on a leave and like you know,
it was a whole thing of like they had put
somebody in my seat. It was whatever, But I knew
and it's cashe McLay shout out to her. She is,
I believe it's USA today now, and that's my sister.
(26:42):
But I knew though that I had like an absence
in the room. So when I came back, I remember
the first time seeing y'all and we had that meeting
and everybody was embracing. People didn't think I would come back,
and I'm like, Okay, when you know that you're needed
like that, it's like you don't have a choice but
to go back. Because I used to also feel like
where else I'm a go, Like unless I'm gonna start
my own I used to jokingly say, unless I'm gona
(27:02):
work at the breakast club or start my own show,
where am I gonna go? Like what job is gonna
let me come and dress like this and talk to talk?
How I'll be talking? And I don't want to be
miserable somewhere else? In all days weren't bad days I had.
You know, I learned so much from that team too,
And I was from somewhere, I'm loyal. Like to this day,
there's still things that like you won't get me to
say or do or talk about when it comes to
TMZ because at the end of the day, Harvey gave
(27:25):
me an opportunity to like really learn how to do
so much stuff. But seeing y'all in person pissed me off.
Seeing TMZ hip Hop and person pissed me off because
I remember when they developed TMZ hip Hop. I literally
said to them, I'm sitting here like, I'm producing majority
of the black stories here, most of your hip hop
(27:47):
contexts or me shout out to a Trent as well.
I recently heard that he's no longer at TMZ, but
you know, Trent was hip Hop DX and then they
hired him to write for TMZ hip Hop, write in
those stories. And then they started the show with y'all
and I'm like, but I'm sitting right here, like why
would you start a whole hip hop basically the black
side of TMZ And I'm sitting right here and y'all
(28:09):
don't want to use me at all. And then when
they did come to me to use me, especially for
the show, right because they were like, we're trying to find.
They literally called me in the office and was like,
we're trying to find host for this show. And I
was like, so, is this a meeting about me being
talent for the show or you want me to help
you find hosts? And they're like, no, we want you
(28:30):
to help us find talent. And I was like, Okay, Well,
first of all, that's a slap in the face because
I'm sitting right here and I've been promised certain things
that have never come to fruition. She'll supposed to have
a show with world Star Hip Hop. We shot a
whole pilot for it that didn't go anywhere. It was
after Q passed away. They were trying to find a
face a world Star, so they were positioning me to
(28:51):
be that. That didn't work out because you know, then
there was like possibly something at BT, but because of
the situation that Raquel had done there, which was very
successful for her, but I don't know what the working
relationship was with Hardve and BT or whatever. That didn't
work out. Then we had a little podcast going they
didn't want to pay me for, so I'm like, y'all
are tripping. So I'm like, yo, y'all gotta I at
leasted to be credited as a casting producer.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
If I'm gonna go fund you, I can find you
talent easy, but credit me like that.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
They didn't want to do that. They just wanted me
to give them, who were the best talking heads in
black culture go And I was like, what, So I'm
coming back into this office and I'm seeing y'all. I'm like, damn,
so it's you. It's Rodney. Like I'm happy for y'all,
but I'm like, yo, this is fun, this is crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
That's how goes sometimes and then but to y'all, it's
just I just have to be like, hey, let me
know if y'all need anything. Happy to see y'all.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, bro, I had any Actually you want me to be,
I'm gonna tell you some shit you don't know. Rodney
was the first person to tell me how dope you were.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I Me and Rodney auditioned together for probably like my
first two years before no my first year, right before
I got on TMZ. We auditioned for so many things together.
One of the things we thought we were going to
do together because for some reason I would go on auditions,
he would always end up being the guy.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
I would always end up being a girl like out
of all the talent.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Revolt Diddy had a show that they were bringing and
it was supposed to like basically be like everybody's been
trying to find that new age one on six in Park.
It was supposed to be that, and me and him
ended up being the two people that they like picked,
but then they decided like not to do the show.
So we had work together for some time. So when
I saw that, I'm like, all right, bet, like, yeah,
he got a job, Like cool, Yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I remember that. But my point, My point is I
just we don't know. Yeah, And so to what you
just said, y'all don't say nothing. We can't, right, you
don't mean a position to say anything. So I don't know.
For me, I'm just now I just try to overdo it,
which which is backfired to me at some time.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
At some point, women every think you doing it just
because like you're interested in them or something.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I'm not a ladies man. They don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
But I mean sometimes I feel like I feel like
women our trauma will be like, well, why are you
trying to help me what you want?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I think that would be the case normally. I don't
think that women get that vibe from me.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I've never gotten that vibe from you. But I just
know how we can be because we've had to set up.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You gotta be on guard.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, we oh my god all the time.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah, I don't think that I give that off. Like
after after I'm me and gena length up, I have called,
I'll call call like, I'll DM somebody, say you know,
what's yourself on them? But people be looking at me
with life. But I don't do it with just women.
I do with artists, men like I remember, oh three
Greido would be one of them. More like whoever, Like,
I'll just find somebody like a man, I think you're
(31:36):
really dope. DM them. I'll say, hey, you know, here's
my number, text me, and they text me. I'm like, yo,
I don't want nothing from you, but I think you're dope.
I think you're talented. Is there anybody I can introduce
you to? Is there any resources I can offer to you? Whatever?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
People don't be wanting to do that for no reason.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I've never done. I don't. I don't have paperwork with Gina.
I don't have I've never done any paperwork with anybody.
I don't have paperwork my own manager. We've been fifteen
years in want a handshake?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
That's crazy, Charlae meane.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Kind of we had a conversation about that too, like
just about like a lot of his best relationships have
been like genuinely just gonna like all right, let's work together.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Let's just you know what I mean, Like no heavy
bread lines or none of that.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
There's I don't have one person on paperwork with me.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
How do you protect yourself in a situation like that?
You just trust that the people are good people to.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Be a good human And I just the way I
look at it is if you are genuine, then you
attract genuine people and even the bad actors. If the
bad actors exist, then that was a lesson and not
a loss to me. I know that my lawyers, shit
(32:51):
people will be like you got to paperwork, yeah, and
it's like yeah, when I deal with there's certain people,
and when I deal with entities and companies, yeah, it's
paperwork and shit. But when it's just hey, I want
to help you, that's not paperwork because help is to me.
Help is one direction. It's not a reciprocal thing. I
don't look for like, for instance, the people like Glasses
(33:13):
Glasses and his brother Pool. They fed me every day
for years, so I don't have to do is figure
out how to eat. I didn't have to figure out,
I mean, how to pay my bills. I didn't have
to worry about food every day every day. I'm talking
about every day for years. They fed me, right, So
I do that. I would do that now. And the
interns at the radio station or wherever I have like
(33:34):
mentees and stuff, and I do the same thing, like
I'll just get them food or what gross whatever it is,
because I remember what it was like and I needed
that thirty dollars. So they asked me the same thing,
like why you do this? I said, you want like
how much you want me to pay you back? No,
what I want you to do? Same thing I told Gina.
I said, I need you to find the next Gina
and whatever you feel like I've done for you, I
(33:55):
need you to do that.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
So when you started like taking to Gina more regularly
and she's like letting you know she needs help. But
she was over at no Jumper. What was it that
she was saying.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
She didn't say she needed help. Gina is not that
Nigga Jeana's a real West Side nigga. She's not gonna
tell you she needs help with nothing, so you kind
of have to just do shit, you know what I'm saying.
And then when she left that place, we both I
left my place, well, she got she gotta let go,
and I left my place. I left iHeart and we
(34:31):
both are unemployed, and I just went with it. I
went in a whole year with no job, no inco
I was just living on my savings and shit. And
I was just like, We're gonna do something. And our
manager was like, no, we need to find somebody to
team up with. We not building nothing from scratch no more.
And one day me and I had already I never
said this publicly, but I had already made peace with
(34:53):
what was going to be the reality. I said, well,
look this I told I. Don't even think I ever
told Gina this. I told Sallas. I said, well, look
this was this is gonna happen. I'm fin around of money, okay,
So what I'm going to do is so our friend Sparkles,
she just got a house in the sixties. So I
told Sallas, I said, hey, I'm finna sell my house.
(35:14):
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make some because I
made a good investment when I bought my house in
twenty nineteen. I'm finna sell my house and me and
gin are gonna move in with Sparkle and we're gonna
turn We're gonna get get a space and turn it
into a set and we just gonna start shooting the
YouTube video right. And he was like, that's a bad
Like what do you mean, Like we need research? I said,
that's what gonna happen unless you want to get on
this train and help us do what we try to do.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Wow, that's a real investment into I mean into yourself.
But y'all together, like you know what I mean, Like
there's a to know that she would even be a
person that like would understand you doing that and kind
of like understanding to the point where like you know
something's gonna come out of it, or at least you're
betting on You're betting on both of y'all at that point,
not just yourself.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Yeah, that's a that's a big blind.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Well. I think I think that she's the future of
what I've been trying to do and or which I
think she's the future of what we have here. From
an LA media perspective. I just want to make sure
that that continues, because I don't think that we had
a couple like you know my Debbie Brown yep, but
we've never had one that really like was the windy
(36:25):
of this shit where people respected her and and we've
never had a black woman dominate media from an LA perspective.
So if I, if I have the opportunity to see
to see that, to fruition or be a part of
it in any way, I'm fucking it.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
It's so crazy because I literally remember, like not I
didn't even I didn't know everything Gina was going through either.
I really didn't know her well enough to even know.
I just knew she was working at No Jumper, but
she did an event for me. I have these events
which were I want to bring back for the low riders,
but they're called Bronco grinding meetups, and those meetups and
you basically bring together like anybody that's like popping in
(37:08):
their space, but like actually has some substance to share
and it's you know, people come, they get to hear
from them, get to meet them, and it's like very
interactive or whatever. But it was me practicing for having
a talk show and Gina did the very last one
that I ever did in LA, and we teamed up
like BT plus randomly like or BT her randomly wanted
to team up. We got a whole cast and the
(37:29):
conversation was just about being a woman in certain spaces.
And when Gina got on the panel, the way she
was referencing her referencing her old job at the time,
which was no jumper, but she didn't even want us to.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Say the place right. I was like, Oh, she must
have really went through some stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
And I remember reaching out to her after that event
and was just like, hey, like I don't know if
there's a way I can help you, but like I
understand what you're going through, and then kind of talking
to her from there, I'm like, Yo, it's crazy how
like you literally can be going through the same thing
as somebody and have no idea and the universe just
kind of like align you'll, because like I randomly just
did an interview with her at an event I was
(38:06):
booked at n LA, Like that's how I met her.
Didn't like had no idea that like our past would
like kind of do similar things at the same time,
Like you know what I've experienced over the last like year,
Genius experienced the same thing. We're just on different coasts
of the world, so you know, yeah, but that's that's fire.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
We appreciate you for that.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I appreciate being here. You know. My plan right now
is to do this for ten years, give her the show,
and I want to go host like family feud or something.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
You're gonna laugh.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
No. I like the way that Steve Harvey looks at
people when they say stupid shit.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Yeah, but you know, he like laughs and all right,
I'm probably I don't see you, you know, very like
jolly all right, I go to.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
If it exists, that's what they're saying.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I'm like, I feel like, in ten years, I don't
know what's seeing it gonna be anymore.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
A lot of them, the people was leaving and starting
their own show.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, I go do some. I go do some with
you know, I don't know. I figured. I mean, I'll
go sit with Mimi Brown or something and do something.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Shout out to me Brown TV. That's that's another girl.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
That what.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Yes, we just had a whole day together. She came
to New York and I was like, oh my god,
like girl, you we're literally like the same we're going.
We've been through a lot of the same stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Is the ship?
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yeah yes, wow, okay, well we're gonna get into the latest. Okay.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
So speaking of real black girls, Jill Scott. So, Jill
Scott was caught out in the street, not in like
a bad.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Way that I ain't got nothing to do with it, no, no, no,
no no no.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
You know how people would like do those like on
the street interviews like oh what do you do for
the streets?
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Crazy?
Speaker 3 (39:47):
I'm sorry, yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah maybe that. Okay, hey, but I did see her
on stage with that. You know what I'm saying with
what remember that? Remember that? You remember what she did
on stage? Tell me no, so look it up?
Speaker 1 (40:02):
All right, back to the respectable things. So yes, so
they they ran up on Jill Scott. It was like
a content creator and they asked different questions about different topics.
And one of the questions that they asked was about music.
And she says that Chris Brown is the king of pop.
And you know, if people are so divided about Chris Brown.
(40:25):
So there's been some conversation. Let's take a listen, King
of King.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Chris Brown. Interesting, Miss Haldoa.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
So she literally says that right, and then she walks
off and the clip, of course it picked up when
a little viral. But Jill Scott's not one to like.
If that's how she feels, that's.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
How she feels, she's standing on it one hundred.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
But she did end up going to her Twitter because
it started a conversation because people were upset that she
was in support of Chris Brown. I think any woman,
I don't give you black, white, brown, whatever, uh, anytime
you speak positively about Chris Brown, because of everything that
happened with him and Rihanna, there's a group of people
who just don't like it and are never going to
(41:15):
go Yeah, never going to So she had to get
on Twitter and she said, oh baby, that BS title
is a consensus.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
I obviously wasn't in the mood.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
If I was asked again when I had n't been
up since three am fighting jet lag, I'd say Prince.
He is everything everything in all caps. Dancer, opulent musician, visionary,
divine songwriter, showman, keep your war, bigger ones to fight.
So that the so a part of it is the
Chris Brown conversation. The other part of it is King
(41:43):
of Pop, like there's so many other people that others
feel like it's kind of like the Chris Brown versus
Michael Jackson conversation.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Yeah, Chris Brown, Michael Jackson Usher.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Yeah, Yeah, it's that whole conversation of like people putting
him in front of those people. And I think a
lot of times when people mention Chris Brown and conversation,
it's just for like him right now versus who we
have out here right now, But people take it in whole.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
So I will say that I don't I can't speak
on that because I'm not familiar enough with people's numbers
and I'm not familiar enough with their like accolades.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
But just don't don't go off numbers of accolades, go
off of like influence and impact.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
If then in in order, it would probably be Michael Jackson,
Prince Usher, Chris Brown. At that's my knowledge base. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying. I like, I like information, And
the only reason I say that for my preference will
be Chris Brown. That's my preference. See.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
But that's the thing because and when you say that,
people think that you're saying that he's greater than all
of the people.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
You just need to know, I'm just going off what
I saw with my own eyes. I saw Chris Brown
with my own eyes do some ship that I've never
seen any other human being do in life. He hit
the flip, fuck the flip. I saw. I was in Hawaii.
So here's a fun fact that people don't know when
TMZ reported when there's a there's a there's this uh
(43:06):
to say you Hawaiian. So we went to Chris. We
went to uh Hawaii to do a show with Chris
Brown me I think glasses. We were like all out
there deep, a bunch of l a niggas out there
with him. So we went to Hawaii and I remember
we went to go link up with Chris. Chris was
he was going through some at a time, so he
(43:27):
was spray painting. That's how he like calms the comments
like it's like, you know, stress relief. He likes to
do art like he's a he's a dope artist. So
he was spray painting the picture. I took a picture
of him tagging on the wall where he drew like
some the little monsters and the police car and stuff.
I took that picture and it went that was like
it went viral before viral was a thing like TMZ
(43:49):
posted and shiit like that anyway, the point being when
we when we're out there for that show, I saw
Chris Brown move in choreography without looking at without looking
at himself for the dancers, while singing for forty five
minutes straight, doing crowd interaction, call and response, and he
(44:11):
didn't stop dancing. You know what I'm saying it And
it sounded amazing. I don't know. I ain't gonna lie.
I was taking some laundry upstairs in my house and
I was out. I was winded.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Well we I mean, I love you to death, add
but I mean we know that.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
I'm just saying my respect level for people who I
think there's a lot of fans in the stands who
think that they can be on the court.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
Now, Oh my god, yes, so to.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
My I would prefer Chris Brown. But I also saw
Usher dance on the wall. Put that in. I saw
us he was on a wall, dancing on the side
of the wall, like with a cable and he was
dancing on a wall. It's on. It was on like
the VMA's or something. I saw the ship and that
these things like I went to Usher.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
Show, I went to show too.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
I went to the the in Vegas, and then I
went to the actual tour me too.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
Yeah, Vegas was better than the actual tour. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I feel like if you saw Usher on the tour,
it was amazing. But y'all have to see him in
that like Vegas, like it's his show and he has
a time setting that man don't play.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
So I'm biased. I've never seen Michael Jackson perform. I've
never seen him in person. I've never seen Prince perform,
never seen him in person. It's a recentcy biased, it's
a it's a thing. If i'm my preference would be
Chris Brown because I think that Chris Brown does hell
of shit, well not well, hell of shit great. Chris
Brown can rap, he does art, he can dance like
(45:40):
he's a he writes for other people, he can do poetry,
he can he's a creative director. He does fashion like
Usher is is one of the ghosts, you know what
I'm saying. So those two I would look at it
in that in that vein, but I don't necessarily know.
I don't think I think that's either. I have limited
knowledge based because at this moment, people could look at
somebody like you know Drake as the king of pop
(46:05):
or you know what I mean, Like it depends on it.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
I think it depends on the age. And yeah, I
think it depends on what you're paying attention to.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
But so, okay, So when people have the conversation Usher
is the new Michael Jackson, don't I I'm sorry, Chris
Brown is the new.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
I don't have an I don't have an argument against that.
What I get how people feel about what Chris Brown
because I feel I feel I keep my povs to myself.
They're not camera, microphone appro radio appropriate. But when you
look at what someone has done, and you look at
their talent, and you're able to look at it just
(46:43):
just with a nuanced perspective. In that way, Chris Brown
recently just took himself and put himself in a different
class of human beings when when he did Breezy Bowl,
because that's an elite echelon of individuals doing stadiums. That's
not a normal thing for someone to do stadiums, let
alone multiple days. I just came back from South Africa.
(47:06):
I was in Johannesburg. There's an aren that mean not
a rent. There's a stadium. It's a soccer stadium in Johannesburg.
It's one of the biggest. It's the it's I think
it's the biggest. The guy told us. The guy told
us where. I had a guide out there. The guy
told us that it's the biggest stadium in Africa. He
sold it out. Chris Brown, No batdolo. You know what
(47:27):
I'm saying. He said. People is flying in from Ghana, Egypt,
people flying in from all over the continent to go
see this man. That's not normal, you know what I'm saying.
So I just want those things to be put in
perspective when people start to discount or even like not
give people their credit, even if you don't like the
things that are their transgressions.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
How do you feel when people put NBA a young
Boy in the conversation of Michael Jackson impact wise and celebrity.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
Wise, impact wise, From an impact perspective, NBA Young Boy,
It's something like I've never seen in my life. I've
never seen somebody go completely against the gray as consistently
as he's had as he has. I have played maybe
(48:14):
three NBA Young Boy songs on the radio in my
entire career, maybe three and those were one offs. It
wasn't like it was in rotation. It was just like, man,
we need to play this young boy shit, you know
what I mean? Like then I have to go get
off YouTube, clean it, make a clean version, you know
what I'm saying. Like, but I'm not going to discount.
(48:34):
I don't. I'm not into young Boy. I don't. I'm
not into I'm old. I'm monk, like I do. You
know what I'm saying, Like that that shit all the
type should give me a headache now, Like so when
it comes to those things, I'm not into it. I'm
able to look at it and be like that shit's special.
Young boy is definitely special. I wish that he had
a different path where he can really maximize and capitalize
(48:56):
on his things. Because I remember during COVID I have
Poe COVID conversations with like people like Roddy like my
little homie, Roddy Rich, Roddy Rich.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
Yeah, when you say people's names, you'd be like, yeah,
like my homie, oh oh who Obama?
Speaker 3 (49:12):
Like no, just like say the people like all of us.
Don't just be talking to these people.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
I understand. So Roddy Rich had a number one record
in the country. Here's a diamond record. That's that's kind
of unheard of for a new artist in this generation.
Fifty cent did it like all these all these artists
did it, but for this generation, he's a diamond record,
which is kind of heard of. He didn't get to
tour at all. Him and the Baby came out during
COVID and they were running it up during COVID, so
(49:38):
they didn't get the tour at all, like zero. The
first time they got to really move around was when
the festivals came back, and that's when the Baby went
on the Rolling Loud Run and Roddy was able to
get on these made in American and different.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
Festivals taking them off crazy.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
So my point is, I remember having a conversations like
I didn't get to feel my success young boy. I
wish that he got to really maximize and feel his
success without the legal troubles. He even be on house
arrest he was up in Utah. Like I think if
he had a different I think he would be even more.
I think he would be bigger.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
If he got to feel it. Yeah, do you feel
like he doesn't appreciate.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
No, I just don't. I think he just I think
he's just troubled youth, and I think we just, you know,
we got to figure out a way to help the youth.
That's why I fuck with the Boys and Girls Club.
I just I believe in them. I believe in the youth.
I don't believe in adults anymore.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
I saw be Dot Brian beat at Bill Miller, formerly
of Radar, but I saw him tweet because the RIAA
had tweeted about They tweeted the congratulations to and Be
Young Boyd.
Speaker 3 (50:43):
They congratulated him for being the.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
Most certified rapper of all time with one hundred and
twenty six are IAA certified titles.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Alongside the release of his new albums Slime Cry today
and I want to just put it in perspective. So
according to Rolling Stone, with this uh you know, new
certification or position positioning, according to RIAA, that means he's
made more gold and platinum songs and albums than Kanye West,
Drake jay Z, and anyone else in the drama in
the genre. Slime Cry, which is the project he just released,
(51:14):
is his eighth studio album and a lot of I
feel like his last he had a mixtape that he
dropped prior to this one, and then now we have
Slime Cry. A lot of that time, like you mentioned,
he spent fighting legal like he couldn't even really you
know what I'm saying, move around, and he comes out
on the massive tour, that tour goes crazy.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
He almost was like like, d I think what was it?
He was almost like.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
The biggest grossing tour in the genre, but now he's
just one of but seventy million dollars that tour made,
selling more than five hundred thousand dollars tickets.
Speaker 3 (51:45):
Across forty two shows.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Crazy, it's like, and people was making jokes about them
videos from the NBA Young Boy Tour and like you know,
could you see all the poshesty masted masses and you
know what I mean, Like it's a little crazy, but
like just impact. Like a lot of artists today are here,
you know, their music, they might get spends on the radio,
you might dance, sit them on TikTok, but to have
people come out like that. I also so he got
(52:11):
that production deal where he's going to be like we're
about to get like some documentary style footage of the tour,
talking about his influence and stuff, because I think a
lot of people are trying to understand it.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Yeah yeah, I mean, yeahah, you better pay attention.
Speaker 3 (52:22):
But be that tweeted and he asked. I thought it
was a valid question.
Speaker 1 (52:25):
He did get some pushback because they try to, like,
you know, put him in like the oh you're just old,
you don't get it.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Be that tweeted. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
With this many certifications, why isn't his catalog recognizable outside.
Speaker 3 (52:37):
Of his fan base? It's a serious question. I think
it's a valid question because, like, I can't name off
the top the NBA on Boys song some of them
if you put them on, I know the song, but
I don't know the name of it.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
Well, okay, I have a counter to that though, I
think that his fan base just consumes his shit. Yeah,
so else shares a fan base. I think Young Boy
shares a fan base with very few people.
Speaker 3 (53:07):
That's a valid team.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
So if me and you are pescatarian, we only eat fish,
everybody else is eating burgers, we technically have more food,
whereas their volume is going to look like it's exponentially more.
Speaker 1 (53:20):
Do you think that when NBA Young Boy is doing
First of all, do you think that it's achievable by
another artist again after him, because people didn't think that.
People always say to me, how there's no real celebrities
today and no real stars, but like he's a super
like he's there.
Speaker 2 (53:38):
Nah, he is. I just I don't think that he
makes himself its great. I was just talking to this
woman about this. She told me, I need to make
myself more appetizing as a companion. And I think that Listen, listen,
I think that young boy doesn't care to make himself
(54:00):
appetizing looking for either.
Speaker 3 (54:02):
What is happening?
Speaker 2 (54:03):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (54:03):
Can we wait? You can't just stop?
Speaker 2 (54:05):
She start. I need to make myself basically, I need
to make myself palatable to a companion, like appetite, Like
I need to make myself. I have hard stances. I'm
not complimentary like.
Speaker 3 (54:15):
You know, also learning how to be a partner, she.
Speaker 2 (54:19):
Said, Just make myself more desirable to be a companion.
What I'm saying is the comparison is I think young
boy literally is like me when it comes to that.
I don't think he give a fuck. No, he don't,
That's what I'm saying. I don't think he give a
fuck about making himself marketable for brand deals. I don't
think he cares about what we think. I don't think
you know what I mean. I don't think he cares
about going to the breakfast club. No, that's my point.
Speaker 3 (54:42):
He especially not after him and Charlotte had their a
little back and forth.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
So my point is I don't think that he actually
cares to make himself desirable for beat Out's point, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (54:51):
But even if he doesn't care, I think for me,
when I saw Beatot's question, it made me think about, like, Okay,
if you're trying to duplicate what he has do done,
what's the strategy?
Speaker 2 (55:01):
Then I don't think there is one.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
You get what I'm saying, Yeah, Because it's like he
leans into that bass and he doesn't care. But like,
not everybody who leans into that bass and doesn't care
gets to where he is at all. There's a lot
of people have like Nietzche. I would say, like Jid
is it Jed or j I d Well his friends
call him j Okay. Well, I would say, like Jed
has that, like he leans into his base heavily. Like
(55:25):
there's a lot of artists that I can think of
right now who have that. But like they're not. The
numbers aren't like.
Speaker 2 (55:31):
An NBA Young Boy, correct. I think it's an anomaly.
It's just like it's just like the gn X tour, Like,
how do you recreate that? I don't think you can.
How do you recreate a battle and then and then
and then a platinum a Grammy Award winning single and
then an album? And that's some things you just can't
plan those things. And that's that's that's the magic of
(55:52):
the music.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
Well, speaking of as we transition, because I feel like
I was thinking of like what is who? Who is
the artist that I would think of that has done that,
like really leaned into their niche, audience space and corner.
Tyler Tyler the creator. Okay, yes, Tyler to creator one
hundred percent and he's like superstar. But also I feel
like Jake Cole is like that too, Yes and no.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
I think Tyler has I think Tyler is the So
if there's a spectrum, I think you got a young
boy and this side, Tyler on this side. You see that. Yeah,
I think Jake Cole is not on that spectrum. Jake Cole,
He's not where they are.
Speaker 1 (56:28):
Like there's a lot of people in the who care
about one of the two A Tyler to creator a
An NBA Young Boy, or both of them.
Speaker 3 (56:38):
That wouldn't be checking for J.
Speaker 2 (56:40):
Cole. Know what I'm saying is I think Cole wanted
to be in Cole. You gotta think Cole did the
same thing that Ya did and the same thing that
Big Sean did. They went somewhere and rapped for their
favorite rapper. They wanted in on the ship and at
some point H Cole wanted he wanted the he wanted
(57:00):
the rock deal. You get what I'm saying. He wanted
he wanted the to work with these producers. He wanted
in on them, on the business, on them, on the
he got the endorsement deals. He wanted the hoop he
he he participates.
Speaker 3 (57:14):
Works the stuff, the commercial stuff.
Speaker 2 (57:15):
He wanted it. I don't think if we ever gave
Tyler any of those things, Tyler would still be Tyler.
Same for young Boy. They don't give a fuck. They're
gonna they're gonna do them. And if people come to
the party, they come to the part. If they don't,
they don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1 (57:31):
Do you feel like though, because a lot of people
we were having this conversation with Marco Plus when he
came to the Breakfast club about Jake Cole, just you know,
him leaning into his own, his own audience. What Marco
Plus called Jake Cole the King of the South, that
was a whole That was a crazy conversation.
Speaker 3 (57:47):
But but he's young.
Speaker 2 (57:49):
Though he's young, he's no, I'm not discounting Cole. I'm
saying that's crazy, just because by the end of.
Speaker 1 (57:54):
The conversation he didn't think that anymore. Because they you know,
sitting next to a t I fan like a Charlemagne
and a.
Speaker 3 (58:03):
Yeah, it's very It was a very argument.
Speaker 2 (58:06):
Some of the homies from from from Georgia. They would say,
Gucci is they can't get the South.
Speaker 3 (58:10):
Yeah, I mean it depends on who you talk to.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
Can't get the South and who created trap music is
a very It depends on who you're talking to, how
old they are, what they digest conversation, you know what
I mean. But he when I was watching him talk
about j Cole, it just and the reason why I
compared him, I brought him into the conversation and be
a young boy, because I feel like the people that
stay in him stay in him like they you can't
tell them nothing about J Cole, right, and back to
(58:35):
trying to figure out that strategy with you know J
Cole drops you know this to track to fall off
is suposed to becoming It's supposed to be like the
last of the last. Right when a person like a J.
Cole decides to walk away, and walking away if he
actually does it, because all represent they retire or whatever
when they walk away. A lot of the conversation I
feel like he's already starting to have is about just
(58:56):
all the things that like didn't go the way.
Speaker 3 (58:58):
He wanted them to. What does that do for the
youth culture who are looking at a J.
Speaker 1 (59:03):
Cole and are like, like, so we're about to have
a bunch of like people who just want nothing to
do with their commercialized success.
Speaker 2 (59:09):
That was my That's my point, Like I have a
very and I don't like to come I don't like
to talk about cold a lot because it comes off
like I'm bashing him or like I'm belittling him, and
I'm actually a J Cole, Like I'm a.
Speaker 1 (59:23):
J Cole god even after he dropped out of the battle, Yes, okay,
because people want him about that now too, Like they
don't want to hear the fall off because he didn't
entertain I'm not a blood sport guy.
Speaker 2 (59:32):
I don't like. I'm not I don't even like boxing
like that because I don't like I don't like people
getting hurt. I just don't like. I don't like mma.
I'm not a fan of it. I don't You're not
gonna see me covering a lot of that. I don't
fuck with it because I don't like people getting hurt
in general. Right, So when it came to the battle,
the sportsman in me, the competitor in me, wanted him
to do what he was doing. And then when he
(59:53):
dropped out, I'm like, Okay, I respect it because I'm
at a point in my life where I was I
will fight for my serenity, you know what I'm saying.
My piece and everything means everything to me, which way
I want to be in my room, in my draws,
not being boiled for my purpose. So but when I
talk about Cole, I definitely and I would love to
have a conversation with him. They don't have to be
(01:00:14):
on a camera or nothing. But when I look at
Cole and what he's his contributions and how he's a
pri he's navigated his career. I don't think that Cole.
I don't look at Cole as a fulfilled individual. I
look at Cole as he's he's he was let down by.
Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
The music business.
Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
He was he was disappointed and he and I said
me and Gene was just talking about this on our show,
like in his mind, And this is what I believe
a lot of artists go through in their mind. I'm dope.
These people who I look at are that are also dope,
recognize my dopeness. They signed me because I'm dope. The
(01:00:53):
people that they pitched me to love me because I'm dope.
The public embraces me because I'm dope, and then I
get the go be dope around the world and make
and make a living and get rich or be successful
being dope. And that's not how this shit works. A
lot of times sometimes it goes that way, but a
lot of times it doesn't go that way. And I
think that a lot of artists have this in their brain.
(01:01:15):
And I got killed online because when we did the
we did the Revolt year end wrap up show shot
at Elsie, and when we did that, she posted this
clip of me talking about how I would like Cole
and Drake and even my homie like Kendred. Everybody to
talk and talk about the collaborative effort that.
Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
It takes to it together at one time.
Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
No, I want them to talk in general about how
what it takes to win. Because the youth a lot
of people coming up. They listen to the Russlers of
the world. Russell, say Russell, get on his TikTok or
his Instagram and say yes, the rat White Rapper rops
Russell get on his Instagram and say yeah. I went
on Splice and I downloaded this sample. Then I went
in my laptop and I chopped it up. Then I
plugged my mic in and I hummed some melodies, and
(01:01:59):
then I uploaded it to tune Core independently, and then
I made a million dollars and sold out the Madison
Square Guard. That's not reality, not for everybody exactly. And
I think the oversimplification of where things are is the
reason why people have these falsehoods and this dogma that
they believed in. And that's why I think happened to Cold.
I think Cole will leave to say like, same thing
(01:02:20):
with ya. I think Yay has a bitterness or jaded
towards Jay. I think Cole has a certain jaded or
bitterness towards the industry.
Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
I think towards jay Z too, And talking about this
before we started, I'm like, yo, what like what's the
let's get to like breaking down of like what is
the upset and the anger?
Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
And it's not like it's the hurt.
Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
You know what it is because you're a woman and
you've experienced the same things, whereas you might oh man
I got this job, or oh man, I got this opportunity,
or man I might have this thing or this contact.
I got this contact me and you have had a
conversation and I got this You was like, I got
this contact and then either the person is ghost you
or they shit on you. Genus had the same thing
(01:03:04):
where she's looking up to this black woman in this
big ass off corner office, in this at this network
and then she shits on her. That's devastating to someone
if you're looking up to the situations that they're in,
the rooms that they're in, the opportunities that they have
the access. I think that's what happened. Same thing we
just we saw. Everybody saw what played out between Yea
and Big Sean Big Sean rapped for Kanye, Kanye signed him.
(01:03:30):
You know what I'm saying, Like, that's that's the same
thing that would happen, kind of similar with Ja Cole,
like oh shit, he's dope, like fuck with us. And
then so I think that a lot of times, at
least in our generation, in probably one generation below, what
happened is they have these dreams of being of that's
how it goes, and it don't go that way. Yeah,
And I just I wish that more people would talk
(01:03:51):
about it so that way the expectation is not that
for the common.
Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Way I want to read when so when he dropped
the dis two track two song in the beginning of
the video, there's like a letter from him before it starts.
It says, for the past ten years, this album has
been handcrafted with one intention and personal challenge to myself
to create my best work, to do on my last
(01:04:17):
what I was unable to do with my first. I
had no way of knowing how much time, focus and
energy it would eventually take to achieve this. But despite
the countless challenges along the way, I knew in my
heart I would one day get to the finish line.
I owed it first and foremost to myself, and secondly,
I owed it to hip hop the fall off J Cole?
Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Now do you okay?
Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
So I read that because you're talking about you know,
you want them to talk right, and hopefully when we
get the fall off, J Cole will have some conversations,
especially if he is going to do what he's alluding to,
like this being his last right. I think that, you know,
the fans want to hear and I think we deserve
to kind of like get the there's a lot that
we need to hear from.
Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
I feel like we need to hear from him. I
think he owes it to us.
Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
People will probably argue different, but do you think Jay
Cole ever gets to a place where like I've reckoned
all of my you know what I mean, Like I've
gotten to the place where I'm I'm in an okay place.
Because he decided not to entertain the Kendrick Lamar in
the drig situation because he said, you know, just mentally
where he's at right now, that's just not good for
his spirit. So he's had to have been doing a
(01:05:20):
lot of like self like reckoning and conversations or whatever.
But then you hear this two track to where he
calls he like slights jay Z right. So it's like
the hell conversation that's happening in one place, but at
the same time, I'm still hearing you come from a
place of hurt.
Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
I think it's just disappointment. I don't necessarily I won't
say it's hurt because I don't know him and I
have never had that conversation with him. I would I
can say I can tell that Jay Cole is disappointed
by something within the confines of the industry. And I
don't know what that is specifically, but based on my
based on my own personal experiences, I know what that
(01:05:57):
looked like, I know what that feel like. That's what
that's my thought. That's my hypothesis.
Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
What do you think, like him walking away from like music,
does that mean anything to you? Like if this is
really his last.
Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Like we ever, I just hope it's amazing. If it's not,
it's gonna be a disappointment, like it's gonna suck if
it's not. But I really really hope that this is
like the Forest Hills Drive that everybody wants to do
that I would like it to be. If it's not,
I mean, that's it's it's his art. I'm gonna critique it.
(01:06:31):
I'm gonna have my thoughts. But that's what he wanted
to do.
Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
What did you think of this this two track too?
Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
I thought it was dope. I got killed on line
because we were giving all these theories about it. He
is he getting a divorce? It was like, y'all stupid.
Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Okay, So I thought that too, because but then, I mean,
I know he's talking in reverse, but the way he
talked about the wedding ring coming off and stuff like that,
I'm like, because sometimes your past can be like can
be very like you're you're making the same mistakes, so
you're thinking back to what you did then. Like I
don't know, but I thought that too.
Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
When he talk, I don't listen. I don't I have
my own opinions, but I don't get I don't. Actually,
I'm not invested like that. So if you told me today, hey,
I heard that Martians are landing tomorrow, I would entertain
the conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
But you you don't feel like you are a little
bit invested because you have to.
Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
I mean, you get online and you talk about it,
and you talk about it from a place of like
not just being like a brainless Like, what.
Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
I'm saying is that's not what I'm saying. What I'm
saying is I'm going to I'm gonna entertain the conversation
of whatever it is. Like if I'm looking at lyrics,
I'm going to read into the lyrics and I'm going
to try to figure out because they don't talk anymore,
you know what I'm saying. So it's left up to
your interpretation. So if my interpretation is Lauren is crashing out,
(01:07:52):
that's my interpretation. If Lauren never said anything, and that's
something I actually told, I actually told that too. I
told her to a couple of artis. I told that
to the homies, and I was like, if you when
you don't talk, you allow the internet to control your narrative, right,
And as long as you're okay with that, then it
didn't find.
Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
What did you think the part where he's sitting down
at the desk and he's talking about that hunger and
want to be great in the inspiration because so many
people right now are having a conversation even with this,
and even when him saying, I'm choosing my piece about
you can't say that you're one of the greatest or
you can't leave this feel like you're one of the
greatest because he didn't entertain that battle. What do you
think that j Cole was talking was saying about that
(01:08:34):
battle moment by going back into the time where he
felt like, you know, I'm the greatest and I can't
be touched.
Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
I still think what I said. I think that a lot.
I think Cole has it in his mind that because
he's dope, he can still be like, you can still
occupy that space. I don't necessarily believe.
Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
That that he's still one of the greatest, regardless.
Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
He is one of the dopest. He's I mean, you
can't take that away from from him, but he's not
the guy.
Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
But if he had entered into this battle and lost,
how would that have fared for him? At this point
where he's dropping this two track too, could he still
say that he believes he's one of the greed I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
I think when you I'm a wrestling fan Rick Flair,
he says, to beat the man, you gotta beat the man.
That's just that's I didn't make the rules that was
here before.
Speaker 3 (01:09:29):
I got here, gotcha WHOA. This has been a very
spirited conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
Very spirited.
Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
Yeah, very spirited conversation. Happy birthday, having k free. He's like,
