(00:43):
little bit maybe like four oh five, because I was

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, let me tell y'all this weekend with jay Z
outside with the unks at the unk Con, it was.
It was a very fustive weekend. I didn't go all days.
I know it really, but you know it's crazy. Tailor
by the way, Hey y'all, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Y'all, Tailor is here. Saylor made it. It's a year.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
She went to the jay Z concert Sunday. Yes, so
she went to the extra inning's day. So, yeah, checking
it behind the scenes of the grind because we gotta
do that first. I am tired, but I appreciate the
fact that I feel like I I just witnessed his.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
History, right, Yeah, I feel like that too.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I was, well, I'll hope you get into it. But
when they like when they shut down the stadium the fans,
I was like, there's two ways of looking at it,
like wow, this is chaotic, but it's like wow, look
at jay Z like bringing like the impacts, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Even so we'll get into the latest now because I
mean it all enter twines. But so this weekend in
New York, this past weekend July tenth through the twelfth,
jay Z did a three night celebration at Yankee Stadium.
So night one he celebrated thirty years a reasonable Doubt.
Night two he did twenty five years or the Blueprint,
(02:35):
and then the third night it was called Extra Innings.
It took place at Yankee Stadium. You see what he
did there, and Extra Innings was just like him. It
was like a mashup of things, a lot of special guests.
I went Friday and Sunday night tailor and Sunday night,
and Friday night was smooth, like I got there. I
was trying to be early. I really was trying, but
(02:56):
I got there. I got there on time though, Like
I got there. We walked in probably like five minutes later.
Jay Z was like, can y'all hear me? And then
boom it started. But Friday night was move I got there.
I went into the Sweet entrance. Charlamagne did a sweet
so we were all there. We had a great time.
I was drunk, living my best life. I didn't have
to wake up early for work in the morning. It
(03:17):
was the best feeling. The best night ever singing the songs.
I did think I was going to see Foxley Brown
for Ain't No and Word, but she did not come
out at all this weekend. But yeah, we were having
a good time Friday night. Saturday seemed smooth too. I
didn't go Saturday, but it seems to move because it
seemed like it started.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I think that people were that's just gonna say.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
It seemed like a lot of people, from what I
seen on my timeline eleven, they were a little disappointed
from Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Though I saw a lot of people say they had
a good they had a good time, but I feel
like people were, at least in my timeline, people were disappointed.
I think of ending early or I don't feel like
they felt like they got a lot. I don't know,
but child, everybody I saw leaving Saturday, it was so drunk.
They could but they shouldn't have been. On answer story
(04:04):
shout out to Scotti Bean. I was watching My homegirl
Scotti Bean, who she also was radio personality at one
time and like correspond to anchor social media Girly. She
was just recapping her Saturday night at unk Con and
had ball and I think she went there by herself
or was by herself from majority of the concerts. So
(04:24):
it started a conversation online about going to concerts by yourself.
But I don't know if this is one of those
ones that I could have went to by myself, to
be honest, Yeah, because the only reason why I say
that is because, for example, Sunday Night happened and they
had to shut down and lock down the doors on
the outside. So Friday night there were tons and tons
and tons of thousands of people there that flew in
from all over. Saturday night beat Friday Night's record for
(04:49):
the largest attendance number at Yankee Stadium and Sunday Yo,
I ain't even seen in numbers, but I already know
it's no way that he didn't break that record all
three nights song like, I'm as a fact, and I
haven't even checked that yet. That's how early it is
following in the concert. I haven't even seen those reports yet.
But it was so many people outside. So when I
(05:11):
arrived Sunday night, I saw all the people. I was
very confused about where you entered into the stadium at
because the line was all the way back to the entrance.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I used Friday, but they were all.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Facing one way, which was going to a different door,
and I'm like, it's no way. All these people were
going in on one side one entrance, like it's no way.
So then I walk up to the other side, trying
to do the opposite of what the line was doing
so I could get around the line, and I hear.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Them boom boom boom.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I'm like, what is that? I thought security was like
beating somebody up. They were bum rushing the doors because
they were so mad that they had shut that door.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
That second. There was like two sides that you can
enter it in a stadium.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
On one side got so crazy with people just like
at the front and trying to get in.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
They shut it down so that people bum rush the door.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
They bum rush the door, and I'm standing next to
cops like I'm literally at a police officer because I'm
trying to find the best interest for our seats and
I'm not saying, a cop, where's that noise?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
They're like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I'm like, you the cop, you don't know, You're gonna
go find out it was.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It was so many people there, y'all.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Life.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I was scared, man.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I had my anxiety was through the roof because you
freaking out, you won't sit down and relax because I
was like, and again I was living on some drugs, y'all.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
But I'm looking.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Around the stadium. I'm like, yo, if the show doesn't start,
because they were playing elevated music. They weren't even playing
any songs d nice, wasn't even the general No that's
I'm saying, like noing like there was no music playing
or nothing.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
So it just was like people were getting antsy. There
was two guys are about to fight in my section
like that.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It was just like and I we're in the Bronx
at that, Like I was just like, lord, please let
me get out, say because I had such a good
time Friday, and I felt like even though it was
like we outside, we outside right now, like you know,
I felt like that, but I felt like we had
such a good time on Friday with no incident. I
wasn't really thinking about that. And then I sat outside.
(07:13):
I sat outside of that jay Z concept for about
what was it that time.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
About YouTube and you was like you're still outside. I'm like,
are you okay?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Like sat outside for two hours a little bit over
two hours, just trying to get fighting and nothing fighting.
Old people was looking out like shout out. I wrote
this lady's name down. I want to mention her. There
was a woman she was just like a like she
didn't work there, she didn't anything. Her name was not Ree,
And I asked him, like, what's your name? I'm gona
make sure I talk about you. Her name was not Ree.
(07:41):
I was sitting it out there for like ever and
like Charlomagne because they had like where I was sitting
in at was like where the talent interest was because
I'm like, okay, on my way to the door, the original.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Door I was trying to get into away from the crowd.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I saw Charles Oakley and Angela Oakley from the Hose
of Atlanta and Charles Oakley and being legend right, So
when I see him outside, I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Like, oh, and if he's not getting in in New York,
it's real.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So then I see Angela Oakley and I've never met
her before, but she watches the show, so she was like, hey, beautiful,
I'm like, which way y'all going in? Because we going
with y'all. So we walked all the way around to
the back talent entrance with them by the time we
got there, there started rushing that back door. They were
letting some talent through to a certain extent, but then
still holding him. That's where Charlemagne was. I didn't even
(08:29):
see him. There was a girl who came over to
me and was like, hey, Charlemagne wants to make sure
that you cool, and I'm like, yeah, I'm fine.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Work.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I didn't know he was there. I'm like, where is he?
So she was like, oh, he's up there. I'm like, oh, yeah,
I'm fine. She was like, let me see a ticket.
So then she was asking me like she was trying
to figure ot where my ticket was so that when
she got me in she could tell me where to go.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
She was gonna like try to help me get in.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I sat there for about an hour and a half
and then I went to another side and it was
a woman named Narri who had got real cool with
the security guard. When they finally opened that door back up,
they closed it down because as they started getting crazy
so of shoving. Then it opened it back up again,
and she was like he was about to grab her
and let her go in, and she was like, no,
you need to take Lauren, and like she shouldn't be
(09:09):
sitting out here. And I was like, that was so
freaking nice, like thank you. She was like, I'm on
my way into girl. Like it was just like people
were being so like everybody was just so niceing. Mind you,
we in a bronx, so you got people yelling, screaming
at your mother like all that stuff, but everybody really
just wanted to get in to have a good time.
People were so excited for jay Z and so excited
for the concert.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
But I did start to.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Think, like, yo, if one person even moves the wrong
way and everybody starts running thinking something's going on, or
we in the middle of the Bronx, Like if I'm
somebody that's like really really like you know what I mean, Like,
it's like.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
These people are not from here.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You have white people, I mean like corporate executive white people,
like like imagine when I the first Friday when I came,
Toby maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio were trying to get in
and I'm like, oh, they y' side, Like imagine that, y'all.
And it lasted for a good like it lasted for
how long were we It didn't feel like three hours
(10:08):
when I got in there, but they were saying like
people and when I got inside were telling me they
were waited for like three or four hours.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, but I was able to get in easily.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I found I saw someone that I knew that was
like right at the security exit, and it must have
right right when I got in, I saw people like
banging on the window, like I must have just made that. No,
because when you said that you were at that, you
were at the security what door it was?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
That's where we went toward.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
That's why I walked down that way with them because
I'm like, okay, well tell us down here.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
We can hop a line with her. I'm trying to
come catch you as you got in.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
All KOs broke loose like honestly, but I will say
shout out to Rock Nation. Jay Z's team really like
came out there was amongst the people trying to make
everything make sense because they didn't want nobody to get hurt,
and people were I saw people being upset at jay
Z for not starting to show.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I think that that was the best thing he could.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Have did, yeah, because then it would have been bad.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
People have been mad at him.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
It was like, Darren, if you do differ me doing
because if he did struck the show, people and people
got hurt.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
A bit on him. I was praying he did not
start that show and people start bum rushing because the
little gate. I was sending that they would have took
that gate on people down. And I had on like
a girl. I had on a real hill. Okay, I'm like,
of all the nights to not wear fast. But jay
Z when he actually came out on stage, he addressed
all of this.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, I mean he had to. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
So he explained it delayed to you guys, it was
like ten thousand people outside, and they closed all the doors.
If somebody rushed the door and then closed the door
for you guys, safety and everybody safety outside. It's ten
thousand people outside. I don't want to start music. People
get trampled, so I don't. I'm really sorry to put
(11:52):
it inconvenienced, but I had to make sure.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Everybody is so.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I also received a joint state this morning from it's
a joint statement with the New York Yankees, Rock Nation
and Live Nation. So the statement says on Sunday evening,
at various fan entrances at Yankee Stadium hundreds of individuals
in large groups who do not have tickets to tonight's performance,
stormed over peaceful ticket holders and in some cases breached security.
(12:21):
As a result, gates at all interests of the stadium
were closed for an extended period of time. With the
thoughtful guidance of NYPD, gates were reopened cautiously and carefully
to ensure the safety of those inside and outside.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
The Yankees.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Rock Nation and Live Nation Express are deep gratitude to
the NYPD into Yankee Stadium Security personnel for their leadership
and direction throughout the evening, putting the welfare of all
the attendees above everything.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I thought that they handled it the best way they could.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Now I will say I was looking at all them
interests because it's not a lot of them, and the
doors are skinny. I was like, what was the workaround?
What was the real what's the solution to this? I
don't know they should have worked there, Like how TSA
be working? But I spoke to somebody here, one of
our producers that edits UH and producer or one of
our editors that edits for Netflix. He was saying that
(13:12):
it's always like that at the really popular Yankee games too,
and at graduations, like they always have door shoes and
I'm like, I don't go to Yankee Stadium for real,
So I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yeah, that's the second time I've been there. This is
my second time being there.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
But the first time I was there, it was I
was there for a soccer game, but there were not
nearly as any.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I was there for the fiftieth anniversary and it was
chilling too.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, you know, once we got through all the things
I told you on Friday night, it was a really
good night. Once we got through all the things. On Sunday,
Beyonce hit the stage again. Beyonce was my favorite part
of the weekend. I never got to see her on
tour before.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Really, yeah, I never went.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Toboy said that because when she was on majority of
her tours, I was in LA and I was like,
I was, I was working like three jobs at one point.
I didn't have time to stop. And yes, and I
remember when she came to LA. I remember one of
the shows. I think it was on the Run.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
On the Run is my top three favorites.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I think it was on the Run and she came
into the LA show and I was I was literally
supposed to go, and the person that was giving me
their ticket had like double gave out the tickets or
something like that and didn't have as many as they thought.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
So I mean, like I got dressed, I was at
their house.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
We pregaming there like fuck, I don't have to, like
I forgot that this ticket belonged to this person. Now
they want to go. One of the roommates was gonna
go at one point, Oh my god. And the other
person that paid for the ticket, I didn't pay for mine.
They were just like giving, like, yo, I want you
to come some a you know, look out. So I
gave the ticket back and I was sad. Yeah, I've
never seen Beyonce on tour, so sick so seeing her
(14:43):
and that was honestly never seen Beyonce in person like
like like that, I mean, never on tour, never anywhere
like so I think I was just amazed because I'm like,
this is Beyonce.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
But you know, it's so funny that performance she gave
last night on Sunday that was it's so minimal of
what she can do. And and it was weird though
seeing that personally for me, because I'm like she'd be
she'd be full out, yo. But I know, and you
know it's her husband's Her husband stayed it that night,
so I get that. But it was just so weird,
(15:13):
like for her to even.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Have the dancers come out.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That was I was surprised by that too, because yeah,
I thought, I'm like, okay, this is like a little
mini would she be doing on tour?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Beat out? Is here? Beat out?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Beat out? Beat here with Charlottage.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, you was out all night. You got some rest
because you don't have to be here to right now.
I am so tired.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I'm tired. Oh my god, night Yeah I did. I
had no ticket, believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
You had no say lounge and you was at the
after party?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
How with the band?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Okay, I know, yo, I got there yesterday. I got
there Sunday night. I couldn't even find like all the
bars were so pack people couldn't even move.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh yeah. The last and last night's rise was old deep.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah. I don't know why people wanted to be on risers.
It was not fun.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
The first two nights was okay, but last night was
nuts and it was crowded, it was sweaty, it was hot,
and it was no food.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It was just Champagne.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I was standing next to Yo Gotti and we were
just splitting chicken fingers and fries and passing the.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Bucket around to whoever you are famous.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I'm not, I'm familiar.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
He was eating chicken fingers and fries with Yogatti. He's
behind jay Z taking your picture. I know. First of all,
let's go back before we go to after party. Y'all
got you don't even know.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Like he share his food.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
No, not because of like size or anything.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
He just doesn't seem like a person you'd just be like, Yo,
let me get some chickens around.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
To everybody because people were hungry. We were standing up
for like six seven hours.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
He is I've never met, but I don't know, you
know how some people just don't seem approachable, Like I
wouldn't just go up to him and ask him, you know,
even if I knew him, like, hey, can I get
a nice guy? Yea even starving, So I wish I
was over there with y'all because I didn't have a chance.
My tickets came in so last minute. I just get
up and get ready, so I didn't really eat properly.
And when I was like, I'll just get food when
(17:06):
I get there. But when last night yet at the concert? Yes,
so okay, what was your favorite night?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
I think the first Yes, I always think the first
night for any concert is always the best because it's
new for everybody, you know, so it's like we don't
know what we're going to experience.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
So but the energy was so high the first night.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I remember was excited and he brought out like him
bringing out Beyonce.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Like first, like I didn't expect that at all, and.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Then Blue Ivy, we gotta get we have to listen.
Being Blue Ivy definitely made me ter. Let's take a
listen to Beyonce coming out to Ken Knocks. Now, I'm
(18:26):
gonna play a bit of Blue Ivy. You won't hear her,
but you hear Jaz talk about her. And then she
plays the piano. Let's take a listen. She plays into
feeling it. Let's take a listen. I teared up with
(19:04):
Blue Ibby. My kids have to be great, texted me.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
It was like, my kids need.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
To be like I am so serious, Like I want
regular the kids that just be at home and be
like Mommy, I love you.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
No, are you Blue Ivy?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
She naturally, And I remember them talking about how like
she just naturally does all that stuff, like she don't
even take like this is not something that she's like
she even thinks she wants to make a career out
of yet she'd just be doing this stuff.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
She's a Grammy Award winner, rights already accomplished, Homie, Who
was your favorite performance of the first night.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I was really happy to see Slipper Rick and Nas.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Of course, everybody was so excited for Nas and jay
Z say together we should.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Listen to no one seen that.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
I feel like, at least our generation, we never seen
that before.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, but I knew when I saw that title curated
playlist by No Okay, he coming out this weekend.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
But you know what I was really happy about all
night too when Eminem came out and people try to
create this narrative online that Eminem isn't one of the
best or biggest rapports.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yo, the roof came off when he came out.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
But also Eminem's Oh by the way, y'all beat Eyes
has been on the podcast before. You gotta because we
will just say it because we know you. But it
may be a new listener listening to this episode right now,
so you got to let them know where to find
you and all.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
This stuff like how they know you, all that stuff. Oh,
introduce yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Hi. My name is Brian B. Dodd Miller.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
I'm a graduate of Delaware State University and I co
host with Angela from time to times on Way.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Up, Yes Now. And you talk about Eminem. I think
a part of it, I know, but we got it.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Let's get the cliff notes.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Man, No, they don't. Don't short my people.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Journalist just because I don't be doing all the top ten.
He makes these lists that it'd be like top ten
rappers from like Saturn, and they'd.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Be like, I've been on Saturn. You don't mean some
of them?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
No, no, no, absolutely not. But yeah, I'm a music journalist.
I was also an MTV VJ. I saw the rap
rate off podcasts and if you drake jay Z and
a couple other.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
People and he is freaking. He was there with no
tickets and ended up at the after party. But Lessen, Yeah,
Eminem don't go nowhere. He don't be nowhere. So I think,
I mean, that's kind of what you get with jay
Z and Beyonce too, but we at least get to
see them sometimes on Instagram and like living our life.
And I feel like they've been active these last like
six months, seven months.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Eminem never like the last we heard from him was
when he became a grandfather.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Remember he was all sad that he was happy, but
he was crying at Haley had was having been.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Getting married or something.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, I think both.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Oh yeah, I remember. That's the last time I remember
him from Eminem.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I gonna say when he did that dis to Trump, okay, Oh,
he also when he did the lawsuit with Reasonably Shady
the podcast the black of podcast. Yeah, yeah, because he's
mad about the shady thing. But anyway, it don't be nowhere.
And what I realized that night too, when Eminem came out,
that was night too. Yes, I realized how committed to
(22:09):
like the look rappers of a certain era are because
like you can see his silhouette and I was like, oh,
that's Eminem.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Jay Z is the same way. You know what about
jay Z worked out good for him?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
You know whats so great about jay Z and Eminem
And like Nas, these guys are in their mid fifties right.
People don't realize that jay Z is the same age
as Rock Kim and Big Daddy King.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Oh my god, for only by like a year, in
like a couple of months.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
No, that would have never got he seems so much.
The perception Big Daddy King was like his inspo coming
in right.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
It was like he was the mentor approgece that kind
of thing. But they're literally the same in high school at.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The same time, I always thought that Big Daddy King
was a lot older than jay Z, not even just
because it looks or anything like that, but music time,
music time, and how how time, How jay Z's music
is more relevant than you know what I mean, Big
Daddy Kness.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
A lot of people who don't know who Big Daddy
Kane is that are younger than us.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
But also because of how he talks about Big Daddy Kane,
I thought Big Daddy came him.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
So it's just ill to see j at this stage
in his career, you know, still in demand across all demographics.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You think this is the last time I'm going to
see jay Z stage? Yes, outside of these everybody say.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Exactly though, and also think about just the amnum of
this though.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Like and he was my man was forgetting some lions.
What was that song he was doing the last night,
Sunday night, he was doing a song and he was
with Kanye Is on it.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I don't even know name, because he was he was
doing one.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Song and yes, we gotta find that audio and put
it in here because I noticed. I'm like, Okay, he
don't really know the Kanye at lit Park. I'm like,
but whatever, he won't get his own part. He got
his own part. He was doing a little bit.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
He was like he forgot it. Looked like he was
giving up, Like no soup. We gotta put that in here.
Y'all got to hear that. Y'all gotta hear that. That's
not the saying no. But he was flowing throughout everything else.
Weekend miss something a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
People also don't understand how because they make it look
so easy, the good rappers who do it like Jay,
the kids, jay Z.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It is hard to get up there and go for
that long.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Your breck control is like, yeah, he is fifty six
years old and just remembering them line like he ain't
never smoked the hookah, his.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Like jump shots still money, Yo.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
You made it to the after party real quick. Yes,
I was in the after party.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You went the first night Friday night, Yeah, private after party,
DJ call it, Dave Chappelle, Jay Z Martinez.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
I don't know how I made it, but I did
without a ticket, right, It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Ain't never really celebrating to have a good time in
those things when we see those pictures.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Yeah, when Jay walked in, everyone clapped and he made
his rounds and said to everybody, and it was cool man.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Dave Chappelle was crazy nice.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Uh what he did last night that I know he
was fissed off.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I was there for the first and then you know,
I didn't go back, but it was cool man, and
it was a great celebratory moment, so I was happy
to be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Well, thank you for tapping.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
In bed anytime, anytime someone that you know is executive
level employ you know, man.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I'm getting employee of the month. I'm coming for your spots,
Charlemagne period periods.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
But y'all, I threw ling enjoying my weekend, though I
did last night. Though I really do wish last night.
Everything is better when you don't have to wake up
for working and the next morning.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
But I really it's Rianna.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You know what I was thinking about with Rihanna, And
I know, like the first night, there was so many
like Nas that I know. Last the last night, I
missed uh Jyrul in Fat Joe, but I saw it
didn't come out. It was jadakiss oh so Jada Okay,
because the was gonna come out.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah, I thought that.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I thought that because I heard I was. I was
outside of the stadium at that point. I just heard it,
So when I heard, I thought was on stage.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well, anyway, when I was walking to my seat, I
saw Annie Martinez in Fat Jail, but I didn't get
to see Fat Joe perform. But seeing Rihanna on that stage,
it was amazing. But you know what it made me
think about Rihanna. Rock Nation has done a really good
job with the artists that come from their tree of
like helping them build out real business to sustained.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
In a way that we've never seen. There were three
billionaires that hit that stage.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I know Rihanna, Beyonce, jay Z Minimum like Nas is
up there.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I don't know where he be sometimes because he invested
so much.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I don't think so, No, I don't think so. But
I was just thinking about that, Like, Yo, Rihanna is
a billionaire. I literally have on her makeup products right
now and swear by them and she just casually living
in YO.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
But that's why everyone loves Lehanna because she could be
that and still walk the streets to New York like
hey girl, hey like just.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Just like us regular people. Yes, I had really had
a great time through such a great time.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Little Mama shouldar came out.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yes, I said that jokingly.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Like what I thought it would have been like, and
Alicia Keys are too they serious like this is like
real hip hop, This is like.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
When did you this?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Like brown Sugar, when did you fall in love with
hip hop? And not to say little Mama and I Mama, No,
I love her, that's my girl.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Who listening? You know, I love you. But I think
putting her New York. I think putting her in that moment,
it would have made it a joking thing.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
And none of them would have wanted that Mama, to
be honest with you, she don't even like that moment
no more like she hates it, I know. But I'm
just saying it would have been to me, I guess
how I'm thinking, like it would make We're in New York,
like if you were making this situation us and tell
us that we don't need to be outside with the
unks because.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Why little mama would have wanted to be on that stage.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Yeah, who wouldn't have wanted to be on that stage.
I would have got on that stage. You don't do nothing.
I met Gail King though right there. Okay, what I
was our jay Z weekend recap.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I didn't finish when I because beat that came in
with Taylor. Oh, go ahead just to say too though,
love love Tian Taylor down. But what has happened was
what had happened was Yancey came out Hard not Life
on Saturday Friday night, and then I mean, that's not life,
(28:33):
don't knock the hustle. And then he played that song
again Sunday night. So you know, people are going to
think that Beyonce was going to come out, but instead
brought Tiana, and I think that also brought down the
momentum because people were also were waiting and she was
the first act to come out, so I think.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
People were waiting to all night long because everybody that
I was seated with. And that's why I do like
being on the floor versus the sweek because you can
like feel the energy of other people. Everybody kept standing
up when they thought it was she would be coming
out on and it wasn't her. And I think because
she came out so early the first night for Kidnut
the Hustle, people expected her earlier in the show.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Or I think they didn't get just because of the
song too though they like, oh, just about to come
back out.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, I think that they that wasn't a good They
didn't They didn't put Tiana in the best position when
I thought about that. Also, to her audio was so
nothing like I wonder it could out her. Brought her
out on the first night and she would received better
because people loved Tiana, you know what I mean. I
loved I loved her, but I was I was surprised
(29:35):
that she looked good as hell. She always a good though.
I was surprised to see her only because if I'm
being honest, I'm surprised to when I'm like, it's Sunday
night and she married, like Beyonce ain't popped up yet.
And when she when I was here Friday, she propped
up real early. I'm like, it's a grand review. It
gotta be married. And I think that was another thing too,
is for the people who weren't expecting Beyonce.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
They were expecting Marria j Blige.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
But I think maybe he wanted to bring her out.
But she knows she's on tour.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
The girls, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I think I think Tiana is the new generation of
the girls, and I think that that's what he was
and it's New York, it's Tiana. She's had an amazing year.
I think that that's what he was trying to know.
For Sunday Night, jay Z, you owe me a spot day. Okay,
if you ever happen to stumble upon this podcast, because
I know they'd be saying that you listen to everything.
(30:27):
I don't need you to call me from a block
number like they said you'd be doing. Okay, I don't
need a record deal, even though I think I can
rap all I need. You never knew that I thought
I could rap. I wish I could, Like when I
hear good rappers, like when I watch jay Z, I'd.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Be like, ah, I wish I cop Okay, I.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Just like the I see how because the necessary talk
like very fast and someff of that I can see.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Change, like I'll be spitting flows and running the lows.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Oh shit, I didn't need stay y'all, I need a
rock nation and sponsoreds. Oh my god, we were standing forever.
It was people also who stood outside in inside all
that time waiting for the show to start, who didn't
have like actual seat. It was like standing room that
they were in. They were swapping off like people around me.
Like when they would get up to go get food
(31:15):
or drinks or use the bathroom, they would let people
sit down just to take a break.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
That's how much people love jay Z Yo. I keep
thinking that.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Oh no mind, shout out to Hn for putting on
the show because I didn't think I thought anyone get
shorted on the show. And then I was like, but
it's jay Z. It's worth it. Yeah, it's worth it.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
That was my well, that was my first jay Z.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Show because the first time I seen him live was
on the Run him and Beyonce, and that was top
three one of my favorite shows. But seeing him and
like really see him the history in a sense of
like his first album and just the impact, the impact,
(32:00):
it was just nuts to me seeing that.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I don't I don't think people understand and I don't
think people understand that like jay Z like he owns
like he's like he's he's an independent artist because he's
a billionaire. He's so big of us, like we think
of independent artists of like as like indie and trying
to figure it out, and he was that at one point,
but like he owns that, Like I always think about that,
(32:26):
like what does he think of seeing like.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
It's just that's that's amazing, I know, like like what
is this?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Because he you, I wonder like you get to a
point where you used to it or no, because like
you he's been jay Z for a while, Beyonce has
been Beyonce for a while.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I think they still I would I would think that
they still be like wow, people were running, especially to
the stage, like like somebody tried to climb on my
boyfriend's back.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
He was like, yo, relax cause we were like we
were standing up. So the girl tried to climb in
the chair so she used to like grabbed him that.
He was like, yo, what the hell? And I tooked
around like what is going on? He was like, yo,
you got relaxed, like back up, it's not that you know,
And she was drunk like it was somebody mom. She
was about to fall off that chair because those chairs
weren't the type of chairs you just stand up on.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
There was like picnic chairs.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But yes, I look, I know y'all are gonna hear
a lot of different mixed reviews about everything, but I
had a great time. Even though you know, I learned
about jazz oh in the origin story of jay Z.
I had always thought Daddy Big Daddy Came played a
lot of a big role in that. And like so
many other people, i'd never heard about jazz Oh. I
learned a lot of hip hop culture in real time.
(33:34):
And it's just and I to see where hip hop
can take you, like where our things can take you.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
To No absolutely, And I was telling our uncle Charlotte
because he was hating on us young folks about the
whole thing, try and get you jay Z.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
But I was asking you.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
I was like, why are you upset that he's getting
new admirers?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Like that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
But because it's like I wasn't a huge but you know,
I respected the man, understood like his his process, not
even say process, but you know, his history, but seeing
it and really understanding the impact like oh wow, and
like hearing like it's different.
Speaker 3 (34:15):

sure now, so yeah, I agree.
