Speaker 3 (02:23):
And but you know, like I mentioned before, it was
the sixty seven Annual Grammy Awards twenty twenty five, and
it was a variety. I think that this year it
was a variety and of music and artists like new artists.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I thought, yeah, what you thought about it?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I actually thought it was a little bit different than
normal than usual. It was more more diversity, more there
was different outlook to this, and it seems like there
was a second chances.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
For some right and then like the nominees like the
list of nominees were kind of like out of.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I don't know. I don't want to say, yeah, they
were kind of out of place.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Like for me, it's just you know, like the category
of Album of the Year, Record of the Year, I
thought that it would I don't know, Like it was
just the people that were including in that group kind
of made me like, h really, yes, why for the guy?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You know, I like, you had brand new artists who
just came out, so you know, they hit the charts
really quick, and you know, of course they got their
fan base and everybody will love them, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But to put them in the same category as certain people,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I don't know. It was kind of like interesting, you know, it.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Was very it was very interesting. I enjoyed the show.
I enjoyed everybody's performance. You know, I actually like Doc's
a performance. I know, Oh my god, she was amazing
to me.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
You know that she won Best Rap Album of the Year.
Third woman to win it, yes, and I was and
she won over Eminem. Eminem was in the same category. Yes,
So ain't that you know, That's what I meant about.
I think the divers is the diversity and the end
(04:22):
and just the different times of sound.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I think a lot of rappers need to look out
for this girl right now. She just yes, she just
toppled everybody who's been working on this game. I know,
she came out of left room and she just took it.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Even her performance on the show was magnificent, exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
She killed it at the end.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
She the whole performance, the choreography, it was excellent.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
She was kind of very straightforward, very honest, very honest.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
She brought up her mom.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
To to the stage and she mentioned about her sorority
and you know, the hard work that she put into her.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Put into it.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Everything.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
She mentioned how how she struggled through it and then
whatever she had to do, and that she whatever, she
made everybody understand that you can make it.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You can make that and not give up, work hard
on it and work on your craft and do it.
And she did it, and she did it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
She was living proof, living proof, and I was kind
of like it, actually, like my eyes got watery, just
because she was very proud of like, you know, I'm
a third woman, third woman to win this category. I
came from a place that never nobody ever thought, she said,
She was representing Tampa and the house. And you know,
(05:52):
she called herself swamp, the swamp swam, but you know
it's true kind of you know, when you think, I'm
gonna be honest, I don't know what you think about it.
But when I think about Florida, I think about Disney
Miami and party and stuff like crocodile walking in the
hard Highway, you know, you know how it is.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I think what she was, what she just did was
make the music industry see that there are other voices
in other states, not just Florida. She just opened up
the eyes to Florida and what Florida has and what
Tapa has. And she just made them look in that
direction exactly. But now will they look in other directions
(06:35):
as well?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
This is what I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Wondering, right, And it was just it was interesting just
to see that. I was very, very proud. She made
me proudly, Like you know, I'm not too I've heard
of her, but I wasn't too familiarized with her.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yes, she did an excellent job, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
So I can't say anymore about this girl.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
All I can say is her performance, her attitude, her drive,
everything about her is what makes music and everybody needs
to watch.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Out for her.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, I think she's gonna come back for whatevenger she has.
I mean, she was amazing. Honestly, she was amazing, and
she was nominating the Best New Artist category. She didn't win,
but a young lady from I think Missouri, if I
get that correct, I think Missouri. Yes, listen, ladies, and
(07:32):
somewhere in somewhere in the United States.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Honestly, she was from Missouri, she was raised out of Missouri.
She was and she won for Best New Artists.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I think this woman was amazing to me.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I think.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Let me tell you something. She in her acceptance speech,
she blew my mind. She was another person that was
honest and spoke from the heart of heart and spoke
about what is going on in the industry with this
record labels, you.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Know, and and from her own personal experience exactly, you know,
like she experienced it, and and she couldn't go through
life without without the label's help, and the label wasn't gonna.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Help, you know. And then she met by herself, by herself,
and then she mentioned that she.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Was signed as a as a young artist, as a minor,
and they took whatever they wanted and then they dropped her,
leaving her.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Okay, so what am I supposed to do? You signed me?
I thought that. I think that a lot of a
lot of artists.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
They they looking for this umbrella from the record labor
to guide them to the right direction.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Teach me, teach.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Me, and you know, because like she mentioned in her speech,
we work and we gave everything to you.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
What are you giving us?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yes, yes, exactly, health.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Insurance you know, right, fair wages? Like mind what you
thought about that? Because I was like minlowing.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
What I thought is that she gave me goosebumps, goosebumps
by telling everybody, listen, guys, we gave you, we give
you as artists everything.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I sweat bones night and.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Day, you know, saying, uh, time away from our family
to work in these studios, listening to how to change
the sound, how how to give more passion and whatever
it is. She said, let me give you everything. We
give you everything, guys, But what are you going to
give us? And this is what you should give us.
(09:47):
You should give us back some type of health insurance
because what I went through in twenty twenty during the
pandemic was not enough for a young artist to start
what I went through with struggle and struggle and look,
I'm still here and I need you to hear and.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
She yeah, and she definitely was like, listen, I have
to learn everything from scratch again.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I have to go out there and learn and try
to defend. You know, she works for me, work for me,
and a lot of artists. This happens to a lot
of artists.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I mean, I don't know if you guys are familiarized
with what happened with Jojo. She was a pop artist,
R and B type, and she became a slave. Even
what's the rap? Oh my god, she's an old school rapper.
She's a female rapper. She'll come to me in my head.
Sometimes you become slaves of this record companies.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
They don't want to.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Release you, They don't want to let let you go
from their contract. You still and you stand by in
the meantime, you're what's happening to you? Why are they
keeping you as there and they're not giving you How
are you supposed to survive? What's going on? Are they
(11:07):
paying you wages? Are they supplying health insurance? Is that
you know it's a job. And when she mentioned that,
it was just like unbelievable. And I am so glad
that she brought that up and made that everybody like
aware of what's going on.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
She what she did was put the whole industry, the
whole music label industry, on warning and make them realize, Hey, listen, guys,
you guys are screwing us. I don't know if I
could say that, you guys are messing up with our livelihoods.
(11:46):
We're doing everything we can for you, but it's not
your turn to do everything we can for us. Because
our family needs health insurance. Just like your family has
health insurance. You get taken care of. We should get
taken care of. And you know, if you can didn't
paid off for my royalties, then I need some type
of health insurance.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Oh Foxy Brown, she came to me, Fasty Brown, Faxy Brown,
a lot of she's one and sampled. And you become
a slave of the record labels and they hold on
to your your contract, they hold on to your albums,
hold on and they feel like you know, and then
(12:24):
what you want to stand by? You can work, you
can do.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
What are you? How are you supposed to survive?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
And for her to mention you know, the whole controversy
with the record labels. It was just it was refreshing.
It was the right thing to do. And I I
am so so unbelievable, so proud that she brought that up.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I am happy about Chappelle rolling when she just said, listen,
take care of us, and this what it is about.
You know what I'm saying. We do the hard work,
we do the heavy lifting. And you know, you know
who's done this. You know who realized that that this
should have been taken care of too.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I know she did. They give her the Doctor Dre
you know, I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Called Doctor Award, definitely it was.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
It's like a tribute like.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Just for her contribution into music and stuff like that.
And Doctor Dre was in the present and she she
pinpoint about the importance of educating yourself, especially of course,
you know her mom and stuff like, you know where
(13:45):
her beginnings were, but especially for women out there that
uh that they want to produce, they want to be
a writer, they want to you know, be part of
a project and not given the chance to.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But Lisa, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Lisia Keys was saying to to to to to the world, listen.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I wasn't gonna make no money and all royalty if
I was under a label. So I had to make
my own and I was gonna for so for me
to do that, I had to produce my own music.
I had to direct my own music. I had to
edit my own music.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I had to be there in the background and do
it myself because they wasn't giving us women the chance
and the opportunity to be as producers like we should.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yeah. Sometimes you don't, come on, you know, everybody doesn't.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I love that she gave amish amish to even old
school musicians just like her, you.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Know, definitely before ye definitely, you know, definitely, but she
she I got to give.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It to her. She still didn't lose her her.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
You know, her roots, Yes, definitely.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
But I was just it was just an amazing feeling
and I'm so proud of her. And you know, she
did her own she got her own foundation. Yeah, she's amazing.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, oh my god. You know, I you know, there's
so much only know about.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And she also have because of the you know, the
whole empowerment of women. She does have the a foundation
that helps women. Again, like I mentioned, to educate, to
inspire you listen. You could be an engineer, you could
be a producer, you could be a writer, you could
(15:38):
do anything you want to do, a composer, you know.
I mean, it's the the world is the limit.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
So I was very very.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Proud of her and well deserving, well deserving. She looked beautiful.
She she brought out her son and.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Musical.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yeah, Hell's Kitchen and Broadway. I want to check that out.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I really definitely, and it's face I have her life.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You could see from the promotions, it's definitely based on
her life. You can see the actress that head actress
of the of the of the theater show. Yes, seems
like it's, you know, exact replica of her when she was.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Younger, I know. And her husband was there.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
The best musical theater for that one.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
But you know, like she keeps evolving herself, you know,
and that's that's very inspiring.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yes, she always manifests to be greater than when she
was last year.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Yeah, yeah, that is so true, that is so true.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I'm proud of Alicia Keys. She came a long way.
She started what twenty years old, nineteen twenty years old.
This woman is amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I know, that's making it to.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
The tops day by day, and like I said, she's
a great humanitarian.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
You could hear it from her voice, you could see
it in the way she is, the way she maneuvers,
and you could hear it through.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Her music definitely, definitely, So that that was a very blessing.
The shocking thing was that Beyonce it won for Best
Country Album. I'm like she was, you know, she looked
a very surprised. I don't know if you guys out
there so got to watch, and I mean you can
see clips on it on YouTube and online, but she
(17:22):
was surprised she was named Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I'm like, I couldn't. I jumped. I was surprised. I
was very, very surprised.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Watching her face and it was so authentic where she
was literally shocked. Because you gotta understand, she's been away
wat six seven years.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
No, not really like that long. I mean she's worked.
She had other things prior to that, you know, she
had projects and stuff. But I think that she reinvented herself.
She tried a new JOHNK. She got into something that
she is really you know, I mean, who would expect
(18:09):
for her to.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Get into like the country scene.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You know, Oh my god, listen.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I remember when when I think It's Texas hold Them
came out. Everybody was like, you know, oh, you know, wow,
she came out with this. I mean, she's from Texas,
so she was trying to play tribune, you know, to
her where she's from, regardless of anything. If you do
R and b us Latinos, you know, we were we
are raised with SASA. We are raised with different things, yes,
(18:37):
and but we still rock. We still write rock. We
start with we love rack, we love hip hop.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I think this is what Beyonce was trying to do
is show people that, hey, listen, no matter what you are,
you are you have a diversity to be in any
type of genre.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Just adapt yourself to it. And and you know you
are artists. That's what she could do the artist and
do what's best for you.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yeah, but let me tell you something. I'm gonna be
honest with you. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
When I got in social media, people were not they
were not happy. There's a lot of tik talks and
and a lot of videos out there that are making
fun of her winning Best Country Album and and.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
You know, and they're funny. I was laughing.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I'm like, oh my god, there was a particular tik
talk that I saw that a lady was like, okay
for best new utitt, I mean for best rap album,
it's Toby Keith. Yeah, Toby Keith and Toby Keith, and
you know it passed away, but he was a great
country singer. Yes, so it's like making fun of the
whole situation.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yes, you know, there's there were situations like that where
Kendrick Lemar lost to those guys who you know, and
but you got to understand that. I guess people don't
believe that it would have came out of them, you know,
same day.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
You know, can I say should I say?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You know, nobody would think that, you know, the white
boys correct, but white.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Boys correct.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
The chance you know, you.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Know, like white boys could rap and look at eminem
and and you know a lot of a lot of
other artistists who come before, you know, if they could
rap and do hip hop as well, why cannot Beyonce
do cowboys music?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
You know, Like I think about that, you know, like
it's a comment I definitely would like to hear about
what people think about that.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Nobody even know lul Wayne does rock.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
He loves rack.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
He loves rack and and and you know, besides the
Best Country Album, they have the best Country Song. And
in that category, Shabouzi was nominated. And he's uh an
artist that his background is kind of a tipsy tipsy
but but it's called the bar song.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
But he is a different category. He's not.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You know, I think I believe he was just nominated.
I don't think he went he won that one.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
No, he didn't. He didn't want.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I think Casey maggressive on that.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah, he want that.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
But it's just about the whole diversity of what happened
is this this year in the categories, you know, a
lot of.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
It was just like different.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
It was really Yes, I think, like I said, I
believe they gave people the ones who worked hard.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
The actual right to win exactly and.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Was playing favorite you know, like before you could tell
they was playing favorites. This time, there wasn't playing favorites.
They was playing by the rules and giving I mean.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
There was a new rule that you know that the
it was voted by the thirteen thousand. They repeated that
a lot of times. By the thirteen thousand voting members,
and the members were your peers. So if they voted
your peers like your song, they will take it. I
(22:19):
also wanted to in the country category too. Best Country
Duo went to Beyonce featuring Miley cyrus.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Is So who would have thought? Who would have thought?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
And the song was called if Most Wanted So another.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
You know something different.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Do you think that all this shake up and all
the wings and losses, do you think that the industry,
especially each music genre, is gonna be You're gonna feel like,
you know what, now this year, we're gonna we're gonna
start working hard.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
We're gonna bring country back, you know what I mean.
I think there's a lot of people were not happy.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now that's not just.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Think it's about just bringing country back. It's just showing
the artists skill to you know, adapt to different genre.
You know what I'm saying. It's just like having Selena
Gomez with with that song with.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Colm Down, Come Down Down.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah, you know it was it.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Was an afrobeats, you know, mixed with a little you know,
so it was so good that it was a great
and the song was great and the collaboration in that
was awesome. So I think just that the fact that
the whole music interesting is thinking about let's do more
collaborations and let's switch it up a little bit, and
(23:50):
let's not stick to the same uh you know, style
or the same lane. Let's let's put all the lanes
together and let's see what we could come up with.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Yeah, No, definitely I think that it will single.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
You know, I'm actually looking forward to this year to
see what what new comes up in music. Yes, I
mean this whole you know, like the Grammy had me.
The Grammy had me like all over the place that
in a good sense. It was just it was just
so many different music and different and new artists, Like
I haven't they probably out for like a year or
(24:28):

Speaker 1 (25:10):
She and I think she had more alpha changes.

what was what was going on with jad Smith? I

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Homage to Jones.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
And but it was just like, oh my god, Lady
Gaga was that was she won Best Duel with Bruno Mars.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
I love that song, you know, but it was just
I don't know, like it was.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
It was just so different and so like unexpected the
whole and unfortunately it was you know the things that
the fires that were happening in l A. So they
focused on that.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
And and try to you know, you know when when
thin I was happy about Chris Brown.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
And he's you know what, he's a great I mean,
regardless of anything. It's a it's a shame that whatever
your your personal struggles, your personal ways, whatever, and sometimes
they get they overshadow the good music and the he's
a good artist. He is a great, a good good singer.
(27:02):
I mean he's amazing.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Yes, And it's a shame. It's a shame.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah. I think.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
He's being overviewed. They're not actually watching him and watching
him well. Because he's a great dancer, he's a great producer,
he's a great choreographer, and he does a lot of
great music and he touches souls. I don't know, he's
one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I could say that, yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I always admire him, and I could I can say
that he sticks by you know, even though he changes
his sounds, he's always sticks by his R and B. Yes,
And I think that that is something that.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Him is.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
This is what this is what we recognize this is
what we expect from mom to me. I think Congress
like makes this to hip hop exactly.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
You know, yeah, and but you know, congratulations, congratulations to him.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I have to say it, I didn't see I saw
the absence of Latino music in the show.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I felt some type of way. I think that.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
And it was her whole.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I mean, it's it's been big. I mean, especially with
Bad Money.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
You know, a lot of it's very controversial because a
lot of people feel a certain way about and about
you know, it's not good music or it's not the
true but you know what, it is.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
A culture and it's taking over.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
It's taking over the I mean the world. And I
just I wanted more. I know they had Shakida and
she won, of course, you know, Latin album whatever, but
I'm like, it's all right, it is I you know,
it really didn't move me. Her performance was like the
same thing all over. She was doing her belly dancing,
(29:03):
which is I've seen it a thousands of times. It's like,
I want something different from Shakia. I'm just like, I'm
overy I'm gonna be honest. I love her and respect her,
but I'm all right, but I was looking for a
little bit something different, like bring there's a lot of
new good Latino artists new, like bring them out and
(29:23):
show they do not have them perform and people can
see them, give them.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Giving the same Latino artists is the same opportunities over
and over again.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, and I'm like, they got to be new.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
People do not define Latinos and the music and the
movement just because Shaki is there, I.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Know, yeah, Jennifer exactly.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
She was there.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
She was there, But it's like I'm.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
I'm like, Okay, I'm over it. You know, Dave Balwin
was there. I'm over it. Yeah, I'm over it.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
It's always the same thing, you know. I definitely you
do want to coughing over here. We're very you know.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Yeah, because you know, because we're talking and our mouth
is getting dry water.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
But I'm just very passionate.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yes, you know what is because this Grammy was very entertaining.
It was very exciting and so full and and heart warming.
I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I can't say
I haven't enjoyed the Grammys like this in a really
long time.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
No, in a long time.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
And the top categories like Song of the year went
to Kendrick Lamar not like Us, and that's another listen
that's that's that's a different topic.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
That's a whole show on myself.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I'm gonna be honest, and I told you this, uh
when we had a conversation about doing this this podcast.
I think he's an amazing lytricist. I think he's an
amazing artist. I I songwriter. I respect him. My personal opinion,
he's I don't think he's a good rapper just because
(31:07):
I'm old school and I'm so used to a certain
type of sound. But let me tell you. As I
started listening to his song, which one not like Us,
I mean, wow, he is like it is a whole
different it's a whole new level.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
And it goes into the industry.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
It goes into the music fels, which you can I
did a show, a podcast show about it a couple
of months ago, sometime last see about it, and it
just it's amazing how.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
He put all those things together.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
But at the same time, yes, and but at the
same time it's telling a story. Yes, and and it's unfortunate,
but that's the reality.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
We're living hip hop history, a hip.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Hop history, and how it's turning into unfortunately, look what
with the deity situation, with all the things that are
coming out of all the things that you know.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Hush little secrets are being exposed, yes, getting exposed, and
I think I think eventually it was going to catch
up to them, you know, like they always say, you know,
you could tell all the lies you want, but eventually
it's going to catch up to you.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
They do, and it will catch.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Up to you. It's catching up all all the secrets
and all the.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
All the dirt that's been swept under the rug and
the music industry coming out to light.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
And the funny thing is that you know, he won,
right and he gets on stage and.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
He's just like so humble. He's just looking around like, Hey,
what up? What else? Hey?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
What up?
Speaker 4 (32:57):
And that's it.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Like I think the people that work with him in
the album talk more than him. And I think it's
because in his song if you guys get a chance
to listen to it, he talks about the industry. It
talks about you know, how why do we have to
like make believe that everything is it's not okay, it's
(33:20):
not okay.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
This is you know, they're using us. They they the whole.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Mindset is different, and it's just funny. I think that
by him looking at when this is what and let
me know how you think about it. When when I
saw him, it's like his mind, it's like, look at this,
I'm standing here, You're giving me an award. And you know,
all you guys are fake, you know what I mean?
You know your phony, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
You all did what you I believe that I think
you said you are fake. You all did what you
did to get to the top, and they.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Have to do it, you know exactly.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
And he mean, he's an actual poet to me of a.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Nasal about what he was saying and how he was
saying it. And he didn't get selled out. He didn't
sell out, just like Kendrick did a sellout. He did
what he had to do, and he was just putting
everybody in the industry on.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
I mean, the Grammars have been criticized plenty of time, yes,
about how unfair and how and just who gets to
choose who wings from executive like the little heard I'm
gonna have some tea, you know what I mean? You
know how you know about this, how you know about
the culture, how you know about the struggle.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
What we're talking about?
Speaker 3 (34:45):
What?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
What are we trying to portray?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Some people can fat cat sitting in the back with
the cigar. You know, I think this is what we
should do. But you don't know the struggles that.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
I want that person to. And I want this because
she's too whiye, she's she's too black.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
So was show people. Hey, listen, I can make it
the way I am. I didn't have to change myself.
I didn't have to do anything for it, and I'm
gonna do it what I had to. I'm not here
for the riches. I'm not here for whatever it is
that you wanted.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
For, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
And he's even when he just came out with like
jeans hat to the side and a jean jacket, he's like.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
And the most of it.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
And and please let me know if you notice, you
know that all these things about the l A you know,
the LA fires and all that stuff. I mean, the
show was like, oh, they brought out the firefighter, which listen,
I gave them kudos, I praised.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Them, thank you.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
I respect them for their their help and their job
and how committed they were.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
But they made it.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I mean even I don't know if you felt, let
me know what you thought. But you know how they
sometimes in the shows, they show like little clips of
you know, what's happening, and the burning size and people
lost their homes.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
I mean, Mina, let me tell you, it was like
watching rich people. Oh my god, my mansion is done.
It's gone. Look this is where the foyer was, and our.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Piano was here, and and I was kind of like
what And when Ken do Lamar got on that stage
and he reminded, everybody, listen, I'm here for La, but
I'm from Compton.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
What happened to the inner city? What happened? Did you
guys help us?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Did you guys riots?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Like we had to struggle ourselves the first time, you
guys the one who have all the money.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Everybody's like feeling so.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
And you know, I felt like he was like saying, hey, listen,
you gotta mantion to go to anyway. Still, you know,
my house burned down. I gotta start all over. But
your house burned down and you got another one waiting
for you.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
So it was kind of it was too much.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
It was like, I mean, it's like watching rich people
cry and oh my god, and I don't want to
come off like I'm being you.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Know, considerate. I agree with you, like I don't want
to come off like that, but oh my god.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
I respect the fact that you know, they probably lost
their homes and some lost lives, and.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I am so sorry and loving blessings.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
But at the end of the day, you gotta remember,
you still have money.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
They still they're gonna be okay. They're gonna be like, hey,
let me have money, let me call get go. God
was gonna come on, let me you know, they'll be okay.
And then they they you.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Probably would have been taken care of and maybe your
house be built up before you even know.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
And you know what, at the end of the day,
they they have gotten, you know, so much money.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
A lot of people donated, a lot of people, you know,
even I mean, he this guy, the rapper what's his name?
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Oh my god, uh Dougie, Oh my god, I forgot
his name.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
The rapper, the the dog wait, oh my goodness, the rapper,
this one that he does, he was he did a
show with Martha Stewart.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Oh my don't snoop dog the dog.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
No.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
But you know, he even got involved to help his
friends and stuff like that. I'm not saying, but it
was just the way in the show was portrayed, like,
oh my god, you know Donado send and and you
could help the puppies and you can help the people hungry,
and you know that That's the way I saw it
that they portrayed it. And I'm like, and when Kendrick
(38:51):
wanted he got on that stage, he looked it was
like his face was looking at each even every one
of them, and I'm like, yo, I'm from Compton.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
He kept representing his his side of la I.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Think you know what I mean, still looking at the
people who get who gets paid check by check?
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Nobody who had a bank account and certain stored away
and have nest eggs. You know, he was actually giving
amage to the people who help him get to where
he's at.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
The people you know, and half of those prebody know
to be honest when he mentioned them, and I'm like,
who's that?
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yo?
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Listen. He spoke from his heart and he spoke true.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
And he was trying to play around and be phony
and trying to say, hey, listen, I'm doing this for
this and I'm doing this for that. You know, he
did it for himself and his family and took care
of what he had to do to make it to
the top.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yeah. I think he was awesome.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
He was awesome.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
I think I congratulate him, congratulated Beyonce. She won, you know,
Best Album Album of the Year as well, so you know,
at the end of the day, Charlie, yeah, she, Oh
my god, she was so scandalous.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Man.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
She brought the club, the club, She was the club.
And I mean that was great performance overall. I think
I enjoy I enjoy everything. I enjoyed it, and you know,
I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I enjoyed the show to the fullest.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Like I said, it's never been a show like this
before of the Grammys, and I believe that we're going
to see a lot more different stuff.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Definitely, definitely, and a lot of surprises.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
The weekend showed up that he banned them, but that's
part of the whole, the whole change that is happening
in the Grammys, you know.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
So I was happy to see that and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
He said, you know, he boycotted them, and then these
guys said, Yo, because of that, we heard you, We
heard what you say, We heard the people.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Because everybody got cheated before, so what we're doing is
making it fair. So I'm going to do it right
this time. I believe they did.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
Yeah, I think that they did. It was it was
a change.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
It was definitely a change. But overall, you know, and
did this podcast What are your thoughts about the whole
Grammy this year? The final thoughts?
Speaker 1 (41:25):
My final thoughts.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I believe it was excellent. I love the performance. Oh man,
Doci was really amazing. I'm gonna say that again. Doci
was amazing. And I enjoyed everybody's performance, even the new
artists compared to the old autists. And I enjoyed watching
Beyonce come back and doing a new genre and it
(41:49):
was very exciting. And I can't wait too next year.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Definitely, And for me, I think, I mean, I really
had those moments that I was like, oh my god,
what oh wow.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
But you know, at the end of the day, I'm
embracing the change. I'm looking forward to it just like you.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
I want to see different things I want, but I
want more representation of this new artists, that the people
that are, you know, struggling out there, they're doing their
own thing. It's not I feel sometimes the Grammy is
all about the record labels and what they had, the
fravatism and stuff like that. Let's bring some independent artists
in there.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
Let's you know, reach.
Speaker 3 (42:30):

independent Artists, best Independent Song of the Year.
