Time after time, we know who should win, and time after time we watch in disappointment...this time we sound off.
Time after time, we know who should win, and time after time we watch in disappointment...this time we sound off.
Cause ain't nothing but a cheap bang baby to blow down cheese. So we crazy death broke. It's the label that pays man unfaithful, so please don't try to fade this butter. Back to the lecture at hand. Back to the lecture at hand, our legend at hand, and this story that I'm going to start off with is one that is very near and dear to my heart. If you know me, you know it's a cold world. Simply put, the real is back. The Ville is back. The year was 2013.
Speaker 1:And for those of y'all that are not a J Cole fan, he came out with, probably to date. To date, that was his best commercial album, my favorite album, a classic in all respects, but an album that I felt truly still to this day encompasses who we are as people, but more so as spoke to who I was, anybody that know me, I am down for L from a man, jesus Christ. And here comes my man, my man, j Jermaine Cole board center. That album. I ran through that album so much you couldn't tell me nothing. That album had crooked smile. You know trouble, power, trip, ville, maddock or Illmatic. I'm sorry, what else did they have on it? That album was just a straight classic, the one with 50 cent New York Times. That album, to this day, still speaks volumes to me.
Speaker 1:Now, as an older man about to reach this new height or this new decade, shout out because I'm trying to be statistics Born center At the end of the day, that's what we all are. We try to do good, but at the end of the day, we are born and made into sin. Put up if you are afraid to admit that you are spiritual, divine beings created by the most high Jesus, yahweh. That's on y'all. But I'm going to say I love born center, and one of the things that the Bible says is that the comparison is the thief of joy. So, if comparison is the thief of joy, why the hell am I watching the Grammys? Because in 2013, to see Macklemore win over born center, jermaine Cole, I was hot. I was hot. Y'all couldn't tell me nothing in this world. That was the best album ever.
Speaker 1:So what did J Cole do the following year? He waited a day, not a week, not a month a day after the Grammys cut off, to drop for what? Forest Hills Drive. And that would have been tough. It would have been tough for him to win because he would have had to beat Kendrick Lamar. Good kid Mass City Bush Humboldt. He was robbed in 2013. Just sit there, play it back, but I'll be right there tonight. Yeah, on my way up, I'll be right there. I'll be right there tonight. Tlc what song came out of the TLC movie? Why can't I not speak right now? But anyways, you see, we talk about the Grammys and my disdain for the Grammys is that we all know who should win, but guess what? They never win. Not to mention, one of my favorite artists, scissor, did not win. We all know that control was a masterpiece.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And to say that she lost. Who did she lose to?
Speaker 2:It's probably Taylor Swift this year. No, no. If y'all could tell me who was Control? Oh no, it was definitely Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1:Let me see If y'all could tell me what album? Of the year lost to control. I'ma tell you, at the end of the day, I don't give a damn. Like I said originally, comparison is the thief of joy, and we need to stop supporting the Grammys. There is a thing that we like to do in this country 2018, because I remember I was in college.
Speaker 2:2018 was the year that she was nominated for Grammy of the Year.
Speaker 1:Grammy of the Year. You mean album of the year 2018.
Speaker 2:She, she, she, she, she Okay.
Speaker 1:I'ma look it up While you're looking for that. My point is that, for a society who's trying to move away from comparison and to basically put up all these people in the spotlight and say hey, oh, okay, it was Bruno Mars for 20K Magic what the fuck.
Speaker 2:It was a good album but like control. I feel like control was like specific to like a group of people. No, it wasn't. You don't think so?
Speaker 1:No, I know, I think it was. I think the way.
Speaker 2:So Snow Allegra, so I think, control was specific Boony. Law. Daisy, can I talk, or are you going to be interrupting me the whole time? I'm trying to explain my point. Go get to point. I'm trying to get there. Control, I feel like, personally, was for a specific group of people and the people who are a part of the recording academy are not going to be as affected by an album like that as there are about 24K Magic. Like white people do cocaine, bruno Mars do cocaine, they enjoy that album.
Speaker 1:But people have said that for years I don't really care about the color of the content of their skin or whatever, but I never said it had anything to do with her skin.
Speaker 2:I said it has something to do with, like, the subject matter of the album. What was control talk about? Let's talk about it. What does?
Speaker 1:it talk about.
Speaker 2:Just a black woman going through life Like and somebody on the recording academy. There's barely any black women on the recording academy women for that matter as well. They're not going to be connected to that music. So I feel like CISA. I personally believe that CISA had the best album, but I could see why 24K Magic one but whatever. So basically, what we're talking about is the Grammys and people snubbing, and Daisy just is anti Grammys. He's against it. He has boycotted the Grammys and I sat there and watched the whole show.
Speaker 1:I haven't watched the Grammys in a long time and the shoe the few moments that I watched this year. I regret it because it was a waste of time. I will tell you the only reason why I watch it is because you didn't want to move into the other room. Otherwise I would have not watched the Grammys this year.
Speaker 2:Yes, I was in the other room watching it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, when you came in there because you didn't want to move.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the only, that's the only TV in this house that has cable, so that's why I was watching it, because that's the only room that has cable. The only part that I did not watch was the Billy Joe part. Skip that, but everything else I watched, and I will say that for a complete show it was fair.
Speaker 1:I don't think even all from what I heard.
Speaker 2:I mean fair, like it was cool, Like I mean did the people I wanted to win win, but it was?
Speaker 1:it was a family.
Speaker 2:No, this is a one of Grammy for show and she wanted for the right song. But the album the album was the number one album of the year and I mean I was going to run through the show just like talk about some of the things and, you know, get your points, and that was that was the last thing that happened. So we can either talk about that now and get it out the way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, go for it.
Speaker 2:Or OK, what you want to do. You want to talk about the scissor now, or let's go through the video.
Speaker 1:Go through this show.
Speaker 2:OK, so the beginning of the show, or like at least the first thing that I give a fuck about, because there was somebody who performed I think it was Dua Lipa I couldn't, I don't know yeah exactly Couldn't tell you too much about her. I know she has a song we're making this down but who don't have a song Right.
Speaker 2:At this point, Tracy Chapman performed. This is a black queer woman and basically what happened is like this country music star who's like really popular Luke Holmes, he got the song. I remember the white guy was trying to put us on a hurricane. We was. We was somewhere song is hurricane. I don't, you'll have to listen to it, but I can't say but me and Yemi do have a deep country music back, which is really funny yeah. All I have to say is we were somewhere and some man that was driving us was talking about.
Speaker 1:Luke Holmes when we were in North Carolina.
Speaker 2:And he was like, oh yeah, you got to listen to this song. It was called Hurricane. I was like, oh, this thing is actually spitting Luke Holmes. So basically he did like a cover of this Black Queer woman's song and it went up. So I was like, damn, like that's crazy, that, like you know, country music and the people who listen to it are literally being moved by by Blackness, but that's, you know a common theme Country music started in the black.
Speaker 2:Everything originated with us. But that was just something that I thought was interested and I wanted to point out and have dialogue behind Something else Taylor Swift wins album of the year for her fourth album For not her fourth album, but for the fourth time she's won album of the year.
Speaker 1:I just have this to say y'all are delusional Dulu-lu. I really am. I'm not buying Taylor Swift and I'm not biased. I love, I love music, I love music.
Speaker 2:If it was good, if I like, but also, I don't even be in the space to listen to Taylor Swift, but it doesn't matter the fact that it matters is in the last year, up until up until the Grammys.
Speaker 1:I have heard people say that she is a pen. Her pen is great. Her pen has always been really good. She's always been a really good songwriter, but I've heard her tour was so good.
Speaker 2:And she's a better performer than Beyonce. I've never heard that, I heard that. I've never heard that.
Speaker 1:I heard that Performer. I've never heard that this is what I heard.
Speaker 2:I don't know who you be around, but I have never heard that this is what I heard from the Swifties.
Speaker 1:Y'all are delusional.
Speaker 2:Dulu-lu. I've heard that America is pushing Taylor Swift on us. You see they doing this shit with the Grammys. Next week they going to do it with the Super Bowl. Can I talk?
Speaker 1:Oh sorry, we just go over and talk One another, but, like you said, you go out, you continue.
Speaker 2:That's it, that was it, that's it they pushing there on us. Ok, I don't like forcement, though no forcement or anything on me.
Speaker 1:So I've heard she a better performer than Beyonce.
Speaker 2:Crazy.
Speaker 1:That she is more musically talented than Lady Gaga.
Speaker 2:I couldn't care about either one of them.
Speaker 1:I've also heard that from a creative standpoint from her performance it rivals that of, again, queen Yonsei. I don't know why you guys keep putting up, putting up again. You know we talked about on this podcast how I had a discussion with a Swiftie in Riley, north Carolina.
Speaker 2:Yeah, intense conversation and.
Speaker 1:I was like y'all not going to sway me, there's no.
Speaker 2:I was just sitting there like and it was literally people in there like Taylor Swift, taylor Swift and I'm just like this is Beyonce. This is the award show. They said during the breaks. People was lining up to take pictures of Beyonce. Nobody is lining up to take pictures of Taylor Swift. Beyonce is the celebrity celebrity. Yes, yes Lines. They announced Beyonce and Jay-Z was coming to the awards. Beyonce did not say a word, she just sat there and they making a big deal Any time she didn't drop out, no, she was on tour, she was on tour.
Speaker 2:She came late. She was wearing this big ass, tim Tim, what's? They call him Dumb, dumb's Dibbado Tim's from.
Speaker 1:Tim Dibbado. Yes from from very hot.
Speaker 2:parents Big ass cowboy hat didn't say one word as many times as they could put Beyonce on the camera. They put that camera on her. It's crazy. I have to agree with you.
Speaker 1:It's crazy. Beyonce and Taylor.
Speaker 2:Swift not at the same level.
Speaker 1:They're not the same level musically to me, but either way I was, I was just doing.
Speaker 2:I get what y'all trying to push on us, and, and all I have to say is, kanye was right.
Speaker 1:All I have to say is was there even. I'm trying to remember what was up for album of the year, because I felt like I was like wow but I'll get to a point later on that I have to say about the Grammys and music as a state of the culture. Now, but yeah, let's continue on.
Speaker 2:Miley Cyrus, one for wreck, best single, something. She won for something and I actually enjoyed the song Flowers.
Speaker 1:I like the song.
Speaker 2:It's just about and we was talking about whether it's a song about like you're in a relationship and someone isn't, you know, like getting you flowers they're not like you know, living up to, like the standard of a relationship or if it's just about like celebrating yourself, and I think it's two fold like I definitely said it was two fold.
Speaker 2:Get yourself. Get yourself flowers, the fuck. Like I don't need nobody else giving me praises. And I think it came because like she was not getting the praise that she felt like she was deserving of, because this was literally her first year getting a Grammy. Her man cheated on her and also that so like she was married to like an actor or something engaged whatever she was in a relationship with somebody and he did something he was not supposed to do.
Speaker 2:That you're, that you do when you're committed in your relationship, correct, and it's just. But my, there was a line in there that I was like Beach, you better go to fuck off. And I said I needed to hear but my Lee Cyrus makes good music. I never doubted she did in the club with my J's on. No, but even before that, it's the right, right, right, and I feel like you yelling, so I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm not yelling. Okay, maybe you're gonna tell me I'm yelling. I'm the one with the headphones in. Yummy, just came from the gym, so if you're wondering why she has more energy.
Speaker 2:I think that's what it is. Yeah, because that's exactly what I drink a Celsius, because I was about to fall asleep man, them Celsius boy, I tell you, don't check Celsius. I was in a fall in asleep at like 230.
Speaker 1:So Chuck knows I will say that that's the one thing I've learned since I started drinking Celsius, because I used to chug them and when I chug them I would be jumping. I feel like I was on crack cocaine. I'm not gonna lie to you. But what are you looking up the lyric?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I mean she not really saying too much, but I think it's just she's saying she not saying too much like too lyrical or too deep, but she literally just saying, like I can, I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, talk to myself for.
Speaker 1:I was just the parents you don't understand.
Speaker 2:And she was given like the song was given Tina Turner, like we literally listen to flowers and then we listen to what's love got to do with it, and there's no got to do it.
Speaker 1:It's nuance. So what's a heart that?
Speaker 2:can be broke. I'm all of like started to cry, but then I remember that I can buy myself flowers. So like I don't need you for real, I don't need you for real, anybody for real, to be honest with you, yeah the idea that we need somebody is an archaic thoughts never think that I need anybody but, it's more so like a like, a want or but also a lot of people struggle with being by themselves.
Speaker 2:It's a thing in this country, but you know I can take myself to, I know I love being by myself.
Speaker 1:You know I'm gonna be gone. I be in this crib chilling.
Speaker 2:No, I do. I do like my alone time.
Speaker 1:I definitely do. I could care less sometimes if I ever see people.
Speaker 2:But that's another that's another so congratulations to Miley. You've been at girl since we was watching you on Disney Channel and we're not upset about that. We're not upset about that. What we're upset about is CZA not getting her stuff. But on the other side, she got one, she got three, she got three, I think, but one was the one that mattered, the album of the year. Which was that album? Good, the complete project, it doesn't matter, I feel like.
Speaker 1:For me, what was the name of the album?
Speaker 2:SOS, sos.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I said. Was the album good?
Speaker 2:for me, I think that, this being her sophomore album, five years after the first album, the sophomore, what they call it, the sophomore drought or the sophomore drop it did not affect her at all.
Speaker 1:If anything, she surpassed what people thought she was going to do Because of the, the algorithm. Now though, I guess, I mean, I think she just had songs.
Speaker 2:People like like I might kill my ex.
Speaker 1:I don't, I don't. I feel like the album. I'm gonna be very honest People like that People, like that language.
Speaker 2:I feel like.
Speaker 1:I feel like SOS that feeling very mid and I don't really coincide to talk, sense it.
Speaker 2:I don't, I don't talk.
Speaker 1:You notice, I don't really talk bad about any of the people I've ever dated. I don't really coincide with none of that. Yeah so that album was kind of very mid for me.
Speaker 2:But I mean, she wasn't. If anything she was. Yeah, I don't even think with that song she was talking about, about her ex. She was just saying like I want you to feel how I feel but the album is mid and I'm just, I'm going through heartbreak Like sure. Then I want revenge. That's what she was saying on the album, but it was. It was just like a love relation, all of her. But no, I feel like the first album was more about like self.
Speaker 1:this one was more about like and so I like love and like relation.
Speaker 2:you know, I feel like yes, because she's had a the first album was definitely more about like self and just like you and being with you, because she was in that time. Yeah, I like just talking about like 20 somethings and broken clocks and garden.
Speaker 1:We talked about this enough, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, and we could keep going, because one thing about me I don't play with is SZA Victoria Monet. That's what I was going to say. I was going to say all that to say like, even though there was no, there was not a highlight in the moment that we were looking for out of album of the year, victoria Monet won Best New Artist. Okay.
Speaker 1:I would have gave it to Coco, but I guess she's not a new artist.
Speaker 2:Neither one of them are, and the thing about it is, when Victoria Monet was giving her speech, she said I've been in the game for 12 years. I've been in here for 15 years.
Speaker 1:Well, no, she said when she started to get well, she said it's been a nine year journey to be popular, but it took her 12 years to finally pop, or something like that.
Speaker 2:But yeah, and she said 15. I don't know where you got the number 12 from. She said 15.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So I've been pursuing this goal this moment for 15 years. Do you feel like that is like serendipitous Not really serendipitous, but do you feel like if you work 15 years?
Speaker 1:for a goal. What does serendipity mean?
Speaker 2:Serendipity just means like the event was perfectly formed to happen, gotcha. You know like it's a full circle moment. A full circle moment is when something is serendipitous.
Speaker 1:Gotcha.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm following you now it starts one place and it comes to another, but it's a full circle moment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I hear you Great.
Speaker 2:Okay, so do you feel like that's something that should be like? Oh my goodness, you know, like this grand thing. Or is this like y'all should have been gave me this shit? It should have took 15 years for me to get this like to get this award.
Speaker 1:So when you're talking about recognition from the masses, I don't give a fuck. How long it takes, like you, know it doesn't matter to me, because I feel like artists, like people who are in these industries, who are in these spaces.
Speaker 2:Give a fuck about. Think about any other.
Speaker 1:Think about any other profession, right, in any other profession, like, accolades usually come with what more money usually come with a promotion. Music is the only time where your accolades comes with oh, I have to be certified and recognized by other people. You know what I'm saying. Even if we want to make this very simplistic, like in sports, the awards that they give you after the season are over are more consolation prize instead of winning the championship.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:So at that point it's very simple to me. I have, I have what a lot of people don't have, and that's attention and status, and I'm good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, people love measure of success and I think that's really what it is like people. How people define their own success is backwards, not backwards, but that's literally the thing. What is success? How do you measure success? What's successful for you? Like Victoria Monez, should never feel validated by the Grammys, but somehow some way she was up there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like some of their crime.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like it's an accomplishment, of course, but for me personally, I would have been up there like it's about damn time.
Speaker 1:It's not a, it's not an accomplishment. To be quite honest, it's not an accomplishment, it's validation and I feel like you don't need validation.
Speaker 2:No, it's not validation. No, I'm saying it's not validation like oh, thank you. It's validation like oh yeah, these people think this of me.
Speaker 1:It's not. What did I say? Comparison is the thief of joy. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2:So I would keep saying but I don't think they're comparing themselves, I just think go ahead.
Speaker 1:No, you can go ahead. Finish your point.
Speaker 2:No, I don't think that they're comparing themselves to the next artist. I really just think it's validation. Okay, this is something that I've worked so hard, for it's not about comparing yourself. People are recognizing it.
Speaker 1:But it's not about comparing yourself to the next artist. The Grammys is literally recognition for your work, right? Which is so dumb when you're in an artistry, when you could literally look, yeah to a crowded stadium. Yeah, and that's that success, 50,000 people and see success, and then that should make you cry more than oh, let me get this little award from an Academy of People we don't even know.
Speaker 2:America, let me deconstruct who think they know music.
Speaker 1:Let me deconstruct this for you real quick. Go ahead we saying this little piece of gold, arguably, arguably maybe, let's say, at most is $1000, right, cza? Who are some of the people that want Taylor Swift? They probably made that off of 10 people on their show. So what's more impactful? This little immaterial thing that can't talk back to me, or a whole human being where I created a moment in their life? So what's more impactful?
Speaker 2:It's like when you chase the money right.
Speaker 1:At the end of the day, what's really given back to you, right? Because at the end of the day they all kind of said the same thing. What I'm kind of cool with speeches Y'all could dead that for me. Again, I did not watch it, but from what I heard, everybody was kind of doing and I hate to say it, but everybody is in this phase where it's really cool to be weird for weirdness sake and I'm like just be basic and regular, Like when.
Speaker 1:Billie Eilish was talking, I was like go sit down, shorty. Even when Victoria Mene was talking, I was like you don't got to be doing this.
Speaker 2:And she was the only one they told to wrap it up.
Speaker 1:And I was like for me, I'll be like, thank God, if I was to ever win an Academy award, I'll be like, thank God, thank my people. Y'all have a good night.
Speaker 2:That's it I would do a little bit more, Like I was thinking about it, because my friend texted me and he was like. He was like you gonna be at the Grammys.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:I was like you know.
Speaker 1:I would.
Speaker 2:Hey, I would love to Like that's, you know whatever, just not for anybody else's validation, just for me, for real. If I get up there, I'm gonna be like my mom came to this country with a toddler and a dream Nigga, we made it, some ships, it would be something along those lines. Like it would never be, like I can't believe it. No, I'm up. I worked for this shit, like you know, but I mean, I think about it a little bit different.
Speaker 1:So yes, I hear you, and probably this is the debate we're probably getting into more now, because I have a problem with all award shows. Yeah, I really do Like I hate all of them, like yummy was talking about, like Grammy parties. Don't, don't send me, don't invite me. I'm not wasting my time, I'm not putting any of my energy or efforts.
Speaker 1:Yes, you understand, I might be a little slighted and jaded because of seeing your favorite artists, music that moved you but it goes deeper than that because, like we, we're we're thinking about this thing of like recognition, and the recognition is for me, is that like when you know you create good work and you enjoy the process and you see the fruits of your labor and it amounts to success because all these people have literally taken time out of their lives, poured their heart and souls to these projects. For us as a society to say, okay, let's measure it up to see what blah blah blah think is bullshit to me.
Speaker 2:You know, but I'm saying like artists some artists, not all of them, because there are artists who boycott the Grammys or who don't give about the Grammys. I think for them it's. I feel yes, I agree with you I feel like the validation or the success for artists should come from the way that they, in their music, impacts people, as opposed to the accolades that they get from it, because somebody saying somebody saying like your music changed my life or inspired me or, you know, kept me from doing something that I shouldn't have did or whatever. I think that makes more of a difference than, like I just want to Grammy. I was nominated for a Grammy. It's cool that you have been appreciated, because I feel like even Grammys, like even getting to the point where you can win a Grammy or be nominated for a Grammy, comes from the fans. Like if nobody is messing with your music, then of course you'll never get those accolades. But I think I think we should move on from that and talk about Burnaboy performance Whack, ooh, whack.
Speaker 1:Oh, I was so sorry. Sorry to your ears, I feel like it was all over the place. It was just all over the place, like. I feel like yeah, let me say one thing.
Speaker 2:Okay, go ahead Before we get started.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I know some people might be hot, but if anybody feels like I am being too harsh, I need you to shut the hell up. Do you want to know why? Because I am a burner, Buna Stan.
Speaker 2:Stan.
Speaker 1:The way his music has impacted my life is damn near spiritual. Mm Yemi knows this, but there was a year where I played bank on it every single day, mm-hmm, every single day, to the top of my lungs. I was singing bank on it because, guess what, you can't trust your motherfucking neighbor.
Speaker 2:You got to bank on yourself.
Speaker 1:Bank on your motherfucking self. The way I was singing that out in 2022, y'all niggas wouldn't have seen me. Probably why I got such a big head on my shoulders? Because, at the end of the day, 2022, 2022.
Speaker 2:I was about to say that what year?
Speaker 1:is that 2020, 2022. Right, your boy was up but now I say all those things Since I saw him before last last Madison Square Garden for One Night in Space, which I feel like might've been one of his last performances that he truly did his little one, two Like I'm not famous, but I'm famous.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Since he's blown up into Superstardom.
Speaker 2:Trash, trash.
Speaker 1:And we've seen him almost three times now.
Speaker 2:Since then yeah.
Speaker 1:Live. Yeah, terrible, and the way he's. You know, let me not do this because at the end of the day, he's still a fan. I'm still a fan. I still love this man. He still makes great music. His music was very impactful for my life. But for you to have Afro beats on the grand stage and it seemed like I'm just listening to an R&B song or a rap song, like on any other radio. Why Shumbo? But that don't even make it Shumbo, like what you didn't have other.
Speaker 2:You could. Why is saying Shumbo when you're trying to say why?
Speaker 1:Keene. I meant Keene, keene.
Speaker 2:Keene. What's the reason?
Speaker 1:Keene, no, no, outside, no, outside, huh no.
Speaker 2:He should have just did last last.
Speaker 1:So let me get my own opinion.
Speaker 2:Let me get my own opinion. Let me get my own opinion so we can move on. I just feel like it was sloppy. I feel like it was all over the place. I just feel like why, sitting on top of the world Like the drums at the beginning, but also, on the other hand, like seeing my culture represented on the main stage for everybody to see, I love it.
Speaker 2:Like I literally grew up with people, like making fun of my culture, making fun of my name, not feeling like I could be 100%. You know Sukurot, because people didn't understand it, like even the reason why I go by Sukis, because niggas never took the time to like learn my name for real. To see that celebrated amazing, but that was like six seconds of the performance. And then you brought on Brandy, and then you brought on 21 Savage. It just felt like so much and it felt like they were trying to pander to the people in a way. That's like look at Africans, look at Nigerians, where we're cool and we're just like you and where we can integrate into American society. They said Afro beats and you brought out Brandy and fucking 21 Savage.
Speaker 1:You could have even did.
Speaker 2:Last Last.
Speaker 1:Like Last Last, literally One of the worst performance ever.
Speaker 2:It was just all over the place. It was literally just all over the place. You got these people in Ashua'bi and then you got Muffak's Wine Timbs. I get the message, but you missed the mark with Nigerians. If you feel like you hit the mark with your Americans, great, I'm glad that you were able to showcase that. But Nigerians that I've seen, we was confused and we literally have not talked about a sense because it did nothing for us. One thing I do want to say is that Tyler, tyler, tyler, one for Afro beat song of the year Tho-A-Way For water, yeah, tho-a-way. What about that is Afro beats Tho-A-Way, tho-a-way, tiktok.
Speaker 1:You see how they want to gentrify our music.
Speaker 2:It's the TikTok effect.
Speaker 1:And hence why I said I hate to say it, hence why I said SOS was not, it was mid. Because if it wasn't for TikTok, would it have been that good Cause? You know, you had everybody singing snooze. I can. You know all the TikToks I've seen. And then you know they had a what was it? Shirt? Everybody was doing the part where. Give me all of you, give me all of you. Y'all know the song. I don't Y'all know all the song?
Speaker 2:But TikTok. But in my head it's the TikTok effect.
Speaker 1:Good for her girl, but show, I mean who See how they and I'm not even mad. I'm very happy that we are getting the exposure. Like, I'm glad that like you guys are understanding who Thames is, wizkid, who these people are. Wizkid has been around since the early 2000s, so it's crazy that you're on, we aren't foreign.
Speaker 2:Like yeah, we are foreign, but we're not foreign Like we're not aliens, we're not, you know, like we are literally people just like y'all and it's music Like Felicuti and Afro beats is in everything and it's something that should be celebrated, and African people are something that should be celebrated and not just like othered. So it's great to see, but water.
Speaker 1:Water. Make me sweat.
Speaker 2:Make me hot, so so generic, make me lose my breath. You know what you need to do sit down and drink some water. Anyway, how do you say this? Underwhelmed, underwhelmed.
Speaker 1:Underwhelmed.
Speaker 2:Y'all didn't even try for real. Like did y'all even try? Like last year when last last didn't win, I was, we were hurt again. You see my point? Yeah, I need to stop.
Speaker 1:That's why I say these things. Y'all think I'm big and y'all might be like, damn, did you go? Take it easy? No, I'm okay, because I'm of the product of I used to. I used to get up for the BET Awards, sit on the sit in the BET Awards all three of that and they used to put on a show. Not only did I not care who won, but it was a wonderful time.
Speaker 2:It was just a great time to be black.
Speaker 1:That's the one thing I will tell y'all. I'm mad that we sold BET to some white dude and now you wonder why the production for BT has gone worse. But Watching BT and the Soul Train Awards you could tell, besides the awards, the actual like impact that it made on the community, because people actually took time to actually have these wonderful thought-out performances. Like it was so fun Seeing. Every time you see a tribute, that was so fun to me, like I still remember very vividly, like the Michael Jackson tribute where Chris Brown was out here Dancing his ass off and then he ends up just balling and crying. Or we had the tribute of oh, who was it? Patty? Oh, no, glad it's night, glad it's night and everybody came out. I was like this. Or we had I mean, I could go on for days and days.
Speaker 2:We all watch the BET Awards. Why you have to like you ain't watch the BET Awards. You know what happened, but what I'm saying is that like? We've lost, we lost, we losing recipes y'all. We don't even know when to be to what they just happened. They just come out, they on TV and you know, and the experience, is trash Of America commercializing experiences.
Speaker 1:The reason why we at this place, why everybody feel like, oh, I want all these experience and there, all these places are curating these very cookie cutter experiences and they're leading no impact, is because nobody wants to put thought, nobody wants to think about what it takes to curate a really good event. And you see that with the damn awards it's. They probably took four months to plan it out. Four months to plan it out. They probably picked a venue. I'm tell you because I'm tell you right now because I've heard it these big-ass venues, because me and yummy, where I, afro tech, and they was talking about how they took six months to plan it. I'm not saying anything, afro tech. I'm not saying that it wasn't a great event, but I'm saying is that they don't put as much time as y'all think they do. Why? Because you have to pay somebody for that.
Speaker 1:So if you got to pay somebody almost a year time for an event that might be one night. You're not gonna do that. You're gonna try to consolidate that into a finite amount of time and we see in the byproducts of that.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I mean just let's let's celebrate ourselves, but also the BT award. Like BT Instagram. Like put out a post talking about come where you're celebrated, y'all be giving white people awards. So like y'all be nominated Justin Bieber and Sam Smith and Bruno Mars for awards. So please don't act like you have ever been really for black people. Bt is not even black owned. So, anyway, one thing I did want to talk about was like Jay Z won like the Dr Dre award, and like in his speech he was basically talking about how it's really fucked the Grammys. But you showed up to the Grammys and accepted an award and he was just like that though.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And then the biggest part of his speech is that he said Beyonce has the most Grammys ever and has never won album of the year. What's in the world? Hey, we bad at somebody.
Speaker 1:We bad at a black man standing up for his black queen.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, we're not mad at that. No, no, no no. I rock with you on that one Hope stand up for show. We're not mad at that. What we mad at is the fact that Beyonce, beyonce, beyonce has never won album of the year, and she didn't even win it for.
Speaker 1:Renaissance. Can we please say this right now? How the hell, did you not win album of the year for Renaissance you?
Speaker 2:know white people, y'all love gay people. White people love gay people, which is partially the reason why I think they gave Victoria Moneta the award, because she went on her press run and said that she was bisexual. White people, y'all love gay people, but you only love gay people that are white, just like y'all. Y'all don't like black queerness, because if you did, renaissance woulda won, ain't no way Renaissance should not have won, and we can wrap this episode up right now Ain't no way I did.
Speaker 2:You and I we're not even Beyonce fans and we were swindled by the community to go see Beyonce in New Orleans. Do you know? That was supposed to be her last show, so that means that we watched all of our friends Practically everybody in our community go see Beyonce, where they saw Beyonce and we said you know what? We gotta do it. Literally, this was a moment, this was a moment in a movement Beyonce, beyonce, beyonce. Not Luther Van Dros, but Beyonce shoulda won album of the year. And you telling me, my wife, as Jay-Z, has 32 to 34 I can't remember what the number was, the actual number was, but y'all don't want to give me the album of the year ever. Fuck y'all.
Speaker 1:Try to tell y'all man, this shit don't make no sense.
Speaker 2:That make no sense.
Speaker 1:Like you said, and when we saw Beyonce and Renaissance, the experience of Renaissance was a 10.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'll tell you that, the experience of Renaissance- Okay, because I'm about to say we gave it a different rating, and that's because we're not Beyonce fans. I gave it a different rating because we walked through. We had a great time. We had a great time On the floor. Yeah, we was on the floor.
Speaker 1:Dancing. I won't break my soul, yeah.
Speaker 2:No, our section was not muted, but it's okay.
Speaker 1:But anyways, we had a wonderful time. You know what I've said. I had the little heated fan, whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Doing all the dumb stuff, enjoying the we had a great time, but. Jumbo, jumbo. How does that not win album of the year?
Speaker 2:I'm sorry that's lemonade. They said shoulda won album of the year, self-entitled. Beyonce dropped an album randomly, like it was like midnight or some shit like that. I didn't do no promo, didn't do nothing. Visuals. The other album, lemonade, was all visuals. Every song had a video. I dropped the album. I didn't do no promo. Number one All visuals. Number one Renaissance. Sold out dates World tour, american tour. People over here in I got dressed up for the show. We caught a flight on a.
Speaker 1:Tuesday we caught a flight on a Tuesday, but a hotel uh-huh and then we enjoyed New Orleans for one, maybe two days, not even 50 hours. We was not, we were not even baby. Maybe 36 hours.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we got there like on a Tuesday, like Early afternoon. The concert was on Wednesday. We were at. We were gone Thursday by the end of the workday. So yeah, we was. We literally just went to see Beyonce. I don't know no other artist that's doing that for nobody. I'm not, I'm not. There's no other artist in the world that will have people traveling the way we did, and Also, people was going to one show, then they was going to another. I had to reschedule not reschedule, but I had to Change my birthday plans around Beyonce because Beyonce decided that she wanted to come to Chicago my birthday weekend and I knew not one of my friends was not gonna go see Beyonce just because it was my birthday and I was okay with that.
Speaker 2:I was okay with that. I said you know what? Y'all go see Beyonce, I'm gonna go do my thing. Y'all go see Beyonce, I'm gonna do my thing. And I was not even mad about them. I was not even mad about that. But this is not the Beyonce episode, this is the Grammys episode.
Speaker 1:So what's next?
Speaker 2:SZA one best R&B song. She says you don't really understand. I came a really far away, since it was one of those people that was writing for folks too.
Speaker 1:SZA has been writing for folks for a long time.
Speaker 2:SZA been writing for folks. Mooney Long been writing for folks. Victoria Monet was Ryan for folks and I'm so glad that Victoria Monet got her award.
Speaker 1:Okay, let me ask you this for very honesty and very candidly Was Victoria Monet's album worthy of winning a Grammy?
Speaker 2:That song was on my mama. I didn't listen to the album, I don't, I only listen to the song.
Speaker 1:You did not listen to the album.
Speaker 2:But I'm not disagreeing with. I'm not. I'm not arguing, sorry, I'm on a, I'm arguing, sza.
Speaker 1:Okay, so that's fine. You're not arguing about the album, you're not arguing about the song, but do you think it was a like I, I'm I Hate to say this, okay, because it's gonna sound like oh, we always do this with black people, but I'm gonna come from this standpoint. I'm gonna come from this standpoint. We had Arguably people like, say, whitney Houston, tony Braxton, babyface, beyonce, lady Gaga.
Speaker 2:Get to the point, lady antebellum.
Speaker 1:I know I want to give him a full picture. Whiz kid burner boy. I.
Speaker 2:Don't think whiskey has any Grammys.
Speaker 1:That's very upsetting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, at least for essence. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I know they got one for essence.
Speaker 1:So let me look, let me confirm, let me go from where y'all so well, doing your talking so I'm gonna keep doing you and I'm gonna keep Taylor Swift's right. The reason why I'm saying this is because no, he got it for brown skin girl. The reason why I'm saying this is that we gave somebody an album or a Grammy, for I put that on my mama. I'm a hood, I love fly, I look good. I'm not saying it's a bad song.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they want the best global music performance. Essence.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying that it's a bad song and I honestly honestly, I'm very happy that Victoria Monet won a Grammy. They were just nominated in a win. So when we look at the caliber and quality of our music over the years, we have to announce it, we have to address it. Music is really becoming very, very Digestible and diluted and I don't like it.
Speaker 2:Yeah you know when I was a hard hill.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when I was at Afro Tech, I went to a session and it was a session that was like All right, I made this story quick. It was a session with like feels and they're just talking about music and the moderator don't know his name, but he was just saying like music now has like no substance and he feels like not there's, there's a lack of substance, not that there's no substance, but there's a lack of substance in music now and because of that, we have seen the rise in Afro beats, because Afro beats is music that people feel like has substance. I'm like it's not really a lot of storytelling, it's just different and it's not like the shit that people have been hearing, because I sell a cookie.
Speaker 1:It's not. It's not that, john.
Speaker 2:No, I mean there's, no, there's. I mean, like the subject, the subject matter in most songs Are the same as in like American songs, but it's just a different sound and I feel like the substance is in the production.
Speaker 2:Yeah the substance is in like the feel right. It's different, it's not like this, but he's saying, like this music is becoming so saturated with people who aren't, you know, actual artists, who aren't actually trying to perfect their craft, that it's. It's moving people in the direction of something new, which is Afro beats, in which is why people are gravitating towards that, only that that was his take. I don't know if it's true or not.
Speaker 1:I'm saying about reggaeton people listen.
Speaker 1:You know I took some espagnol back in the day, but I say all those things because I'm not getting mad at who's winning the Grammys, but I am getting mad at the cow as an R&B thug and I listen to all. Think about this y'all, I told y'all about me and yummy's yeah, me, and yummy's Me and yummy's country music bag. So there's this artist name, there's this artist name I Don't know, it's that sort of be Breland, breland, right, and he was on this talk show so I'll make this really short, short and sweet, but he was talking about the roots of Country music and why he does country music is because he's trying to reinvigorate the black artists to jump into Country music. So I say those things because think about this one of my favorite country music song, rascal flags. Think about the imagery of this Forever, real, long lost.
Speaker 1:So Roll brought me back to where you are, the lovers that broke my heart. They were like northern stars, and bring me all my way Into your this much I know that. God bless the lonely roll. Oh, look, that's fire.
Speaker 2:Was that country a gospel?
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:Actually, you might be able to get you a contract with that. I was, I was in, I was into that. You see what I'm saying, starstress, I was quiet. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, it's the.
Speaker 1:It's the idea that music means something. Right, there's a lot of songs that we talk about mumble rap, but when mumble rap starts invading things that are supposed to hit and touch your soul. Like Victoria Monet is an R&B singer, I don't care if it's alternative, but like that's her, where's the rhythm and blues shorty? Like what's where's the where is the storytelling, like that's what I'm talking about. I put that on my mama. Look, we all know that. You a celebrity. Of course you look good.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no the album, the song she said was an ode to Her daughter, because she just had her daughter and she was going through postpartum. And it's really just like when it's when they say you get it from your mama, I must say you fuck right, buddy.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 2:Don't know the words, for I was doing that.
Speaker 1:I hear that, but also like that's a weird ass need to say when you have a child, like yeah, you got your body for me, but Side track. What I'm trying to say is that you notice how you have to tell the story to the song. You feel like you should already know it back in the day, they would drop the song and it would just leave it for you to interpret and then you would have the music video.
Speaker 2:The music video went along. Yes, yes, but that this now music videos.
Speaker 1:But now, this day and age, what do they do? They drop the song and then, when you are interviewed, they add they have to literally ask you because we don't know. You ain't such it.
Speaker 2:We don't know what you talking about.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to say friends, friends, don't hate me for my take, but think about it, digested, really. Think about the music you listen to. That's why I tell you I'm R&B thug, but in this R&B thug cuz I know y'all been listening to this motherfucking 7th playlist and I shut. I salute y'all for that. Okay, I really salute y'all, but notice who I'm putting on these lists. These are story tellers, one of the one of my favorite songs that I put out there.
Speaker 2:Tracy Chapman.
Speaker 1:That's why she got that Grammy for a fast car that one of my favorite songs that I put on there today is called small talk and she started off normally.
Speaker 2:I Take my time, so we're. So, basically, what you're saying is that we're, we're, we're missing story tellers. Yes, and you know, one thing I will say is so we'll make sure that we listen to the song small talk so we can hear the way it's supposed to. I will say this I See you, coco Jones, snooze SZA. That's that song writing 100% that's real R&B.
Speaker 1:She literally said I can't lose.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Not even that before that I tested five for you. I do that three, four times again.
Speaker 1:I hope you never have to go through that, though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but she's saying I love you so much that I will do whatever it is for you.
Speaker 1:But we don't want to put our women. I will hide your bodies.
Speaker 2:I've been scheming, hide your bodies Long as you thinking about me ain't no problem. I don't got nobody just with you right now. So the truth I look better under you. This is like. I don't want old-school love songs and that's what they use. Niggas used to be bagging and bitches used to say I will come in, I will come and kill anybody for you. Yes, I can love you better than she can look. This is what people used to actually Sitting here why you don't love me okay.
Speaker 2:So yeah, you're right and then I see you. What is she saying? I see you Like real love shit and that's why this is the music that people are fucking with. I'm not saying all my mama on my hood, it's not a good song.
Speaker 1:That's why we see it all braille Friday.
Speaker 2:Okay screaming. All I'm saying is that she said what a coco Jones say. She said Some some way, somehow. Like we keep running into each other, like I deleted every message that you send, try to get out of it and I just keep that's what I hate, that don't y'all hate that.
Speaker 1:That one person that you know you probably shouldn't be with in this space of time, but you keep running into them. You keep on trying to live your life because you know why. Y'all part of ways, but somehow y'all keep still being around each other. Is I need you? Okay, I need to stop something. The way you okay, just give me, but anyways. But that's pretty much all I had to say about the Grammys, like fuck y'all, but thank you for getting some parts right.
Speaker 2:I really don't want to talk about anything else, because nothing else was really important. Billy Eilish I don't know she's cool to me, but her hair just always looks oily, I'm just tired of people being weird.
Speaker 1:For weird this sake. I'm gonna keep saying it cuz.
Speaker 2:Personality, but her parents was. Her parents were at the show and they look like normal white people to do, and her brother too.
Speaker 1:You rock with it, but at the end of the day let's just be okay with being ourselves. We ain't got to be unique. Yeah, some people are naturally unique.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let them be let them be unique.
Speaker 1:But those of us, we could be regular degular, that's it. Okay, so what is the?
Speaker 2:Well you know, thank you so much for listening to us talk about the Grammys and rat and rave about the Grammys. Really, at the end, the day gifts is a her flowers give um.
Speaker 1:I've been giving them. That's the thing.
Speaker 2:Don't give it to them at the Grammys.
Speaker 1:You got to give it to every time flowers, every time somebody asked me, they say what's cuz I have? I'm a really, I'm a really intentional person. My song of the decade and I and this is the crazy thing I've already started looking for my song of the decade for 30.
Speaker 2:Oh wow, you're maybe like a playlist, not just one song, but my song for my 20s Was God bless him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it. That's it, Prince. We agree, we better ask friends. I did later every message that you said Try and move on with somebody less like you. Don't know how we ended up in the red. Feel myself reading your comments again. Hey, then we end up in each other's heads. It all makes sense because you got to feel it. That's all that I need in my life, babe. We'll have to review that, because that's one of them ones I'm a big fan of. The old school R&B song. We have tried and failed and tried and failed, but I can't let you go.
Speaker 1:And you see why I circling the box is circling the Shits being about you Shits.
Speaker 2:That's all I was saying. And she said I literally distanced myself from you, I deleted everything, but somehow I just ended up back with you. But we're moving on. Yes, so let's move on to things I send Deji on Twitter, and it's actually related to the Grammys. It's actually related to the Grammys Things I send Deji on Twitter. The tweet is this Deji. What's up it says you know what song really deserved a Grammy?
Speaker 1:What song?
Speaker 2:Closer.
Speaker 1:Closer by whom?
Speaker 2:Oh, Locks Day, oh yeah, I want you every night and every day. Oh my God.
Speaker 1:That's how crazy the year's been. No wait, I thought you meant oh, closer, or yeah. I think you know Shaw.
Speaker 2:It's just like an anti-M, it's an anti-Gramm. Yeah, whatever you say. Yeah, every part of Grammys.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, that went crazy on TikTok, so that was very that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:If it was not going to be water, it should have been that, and that's actually Afrobeat skinny. But it was all Nigerians in the South African and the South Africans one. So I feel like Closer was a good song because white people were singing that song. You could play that in the club now. I mean, they're going to go up for water too.
Speaker 1:No, that song was fire. It's Afrobeat, afrobeat. I was playing it. How does it go? I was playing it so much Damn. I haven't played that in a long time. But yeah, that definitely should have won.
Speaker 2:You can still play that now. People are still going to go up. You can play water too, but water is going to get everybody to move. Closer is I feel like they both going to get everybody to move, but I just feel like Closer was. That's not Closer, closer we don't underwrite that song.
Speaker 1:I want to love you every day.
Speaker 2:Closer.
Speaker 1:Okay, what is? We just did get our intellectual. What's the next one?
Speaker 2:No, we didn't just do get our intellectual. That was things I said in DJ on Twitter. The get our intellectual question of the day is this If you have a side hustle, is it okay for people to know A side hustle that you're trying to push? Is it okay for you to have a nine to five and is it okay for people to know you have a nine to five?
Speaker 1:So, to cover this conversation, we're not going to go too much into it, but just say people know you for one thing, and because they know you for one thing, you don't want people to know you for another thing. Yeah, so what I would say simply is yes, because, as a man in society, I'm speaking from a man's perspective.
Speaker 2:Okay, I was about to say because I didn't say anything about you Speaking from a man, specifically speaking from a black man's perspective.
Speaker 1:I don't run, I'm not from the cloth where people provide for us, so I always feel like the need to make sure that I can provide for whoever is going to be in my life, but even more so that you just got to be sure you're able to stand on your own two feet.
Speaker 2:You know what?
Speaker 1:I'm saying I think that's a very important skill that more and more people are losing, Because you know like if you were, if you a stripper.
Speaker 2:Do you want the people at the strip club to know that you a teacher? Probably not.
Speaker 1:Does it matter?
Speaker 2:Well, I feel like this one lady was is a teacher and she got fired or let go or something like that because she had only fans.
Speaker 2:But that's that's that I was sued because there's nothing in my contract that says no, she got in trouble because she was promoting the only fans in the in the, or? No, no, it was a mom who who was getting, who was not allowed to come and pick up her kids from school anymore because she was promoting her only fans in the carpool pickup lane, or something like that, or in our car or something like that, somehow some way.
Speaker 1:Okay, so that's different right, Is it though?
Speaker 2:Yes, because at the end, if you live a double life, can people know that you got a regular?
Speaker 1:life, because in America we have not gone to the point where we have basically untabooed like sex, yeah.
Speaker 2:So until we get to that point, then which we probably never will right, even though like.
Speaker 1:So everything is sexualized?
Speaker 2:Oh my God so many people have only fans but no, and everything is sexualized in this country. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1:So the reason why I'm saying those things is that I think, as long as you got to do what you got to do to survive in this country, one of the main things that people forget is that nobody's going to pay my bills.
Speaker 2:Okay, and I'm not, and nobody's gonna play somebody else's bills Exactly, unless they get some naughty.
Speaker 1:So if that's the case, I'm not paying nobody's bills.
Speaker 2:If that is the case, regardless of what you do for me, If that is the case, then I could probably pay you and I got to make these dollars.
Speaker 1:I don't even pay my own bills.
Speaker 2:Why don't we be with somebody else's bills?
Speaker 1:I know I told you how I'm going to be once we get off the job Struggling. No, my phone will not be paying me.
Speaker 2:We'll have to talk about that a different day.
Speaker 1:But you know how. About you? That's the real question. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 2:I feel like what you hiding for, like it's okay to have a nine. I know like a couple of people who are like aspiring rappers or trying to push you know their rap career, who also have nine to five. Like how you gonna pay for, like where do you think people are thinking your money comes from? Like you can't be like I don't think it gives you more street credit to be like a scammer or to have people believe that you're a scammer and you're rapping at the same time, or you just make your money from rapping, because we know for a fact that if you're not like actually getting booked every weekend for shows, you're probably not making too much money off of being a rapper. Like it's okay to have a nine to five and be pursuing your, your side hustle, like we are and fully you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I definitely when I first started but when I heard that someone like not wanting people to know that they have a whole job and they are pursuing other endeavors, I laughed because that shit was funny to me and I thought, it'd be a great into intellectual get a question but I get it, though, because I used to think about it the opposite way, because when I was first started working and I first started doing podcasting, I was like, yeah, I don't want y'all motherfuckers to fire me because y'all might try to go back to HR and say some shit if I ever said something about my job and that's my thing. So yeah, I will always say that. But I think you got to be able to celebrate yourself, especially if you know you making money and you're doing a positive thing. You know yummy is a DJ.
Speaker 1:I have my many side hustles. You know I'm back in the streets cleaning shoes, but it's all product of who we are. At the end of the day, you got to figure out a way to hustle in this country and ain't no shame in your game. That's what. What's the movie called with Lisa, whatever name is Lisa Ray?
Speaker 2:Yes, players.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sometimes I'd be good at this.
Speaker 2:You did that one, you did that one.
Speaker 1:She said don't let this money make you make the money.
