Damn If I Do, Damn If I Don't ( J.Cole Opens Up and Justin Timeberlake DUI) · The Breakfast Club

0:02
Speaker 1: I'm a homegrowl that knows a little bit about everything
0:04
Speaker 1: and everybody.
0:06
Speaker 2: You know, if you don't lie about that.
0:07
Speaker 1: Right, Hey, y'all, what's up into Laura La Rosa? And
0:12
Speaker 1: this is another episode of the Latest with Laura Rosa.
0:15
Speaker 1: This year DELI dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
0:19
Speaker 1: and all of the.
0:20
Speaker 3: Conversations that shake the room.
0:22
Speaker 1: Baby, So let's check in behind the scenes of the grind.
0:28
Speaker 1: So we do the check in behind the scenes of
0:30
Speaker 1: the Grind here at the Latest with Laura Rosa. Because
0:32
Speaker 1: I literally have always said one of the things that
0:35
Speaker 1: I am horrible at is sitting down, being still checking
0:39
Speaker 1: in on myself and sometimes checking in on people because
0:42
Speaker 1: everything is always moving so fast. You're always trying to
0:45
Speaker 1: keep up with things, not even just the news, but
0:47
Speaker 1: the news just life in general. And sometimes what I've noticed,
0:54
Speaker 1: you know, I had a season of my life where
0:55
Speaker 1: like I really had to sit down, sit still.
0:57
Speaker 3: Wasn't much shaken. You know, my ma was healing from
1:00
Speaker 3: some things.
1:01
Speaker 1: Grandma too, and that was probably like the most calm
1:04
Speaker 1: my life has ever been. But in all of that stillness,
1:08
Speaker 1: I feel like it was like a message, Like I
1:10
Speaker 1: feel like God, I always remember this time period. I
1:13
Speaker 1: feel like God was trying to show me all the things,
1:16
Speaker 1: like all those small pockets that I'm like blind to
1:19
Speaker 1: and that I miss because my life moved so fast,
1:23
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm living in La New York all
1:26
Speaker 1: these like big, fast moving places. I work a job
1:29
Speaker 1: that requires me to be away from family and friends
1:32
Speaker 1: a lot, and even when they are close, they're kind
1:34
Speaker 1: of in the mix of all of my craziness and
1:36
Speaker 1: all my fastness. And being at home in Delaware for
1:40
Speaker 1: about a year and a half maybe two, I got
1:43
Speaker 1: to see, you know, so much that I was missing
1:46
Speaker 1: with family, with friends, with myself. Honestly, that was the
1:49
Speaker 1: biggest thing, Like when I really sat down with myself
1:52
Speaker 1: and I'd never done that. You know, before it was
1:55
Speaker 1: the you know, the big jobs. It was college. Before
1:58
Speaker 1: it was college, it was trying to get through high
2:00
Speaker 1: school and working jobs and help you know, mom, and
2:02
Speaker 1: just figure out what was happening after high school. And
2:06
Speaker 1: you know, like coming into yourself as an adult is
2:09
Speaker 1: a magical thing because you know, you really get to understand,
2:13
Speaker 1: like why the world needs you. Going to an HBCU
2:17
Speaker 1: shout out to Delaware State University. Did that for me,
2:19
Speaker 1: but also the household I was raised in did that
2:21
Speaker 1: for me as well too. Like my mom always taught
2:25
Speaker 1: us about like how like how much of a gift
2:29
Speaker 1: we were in any and everything that we did, and
2:32
Speaker 1: you know, how prepared we were.
2:34
Speaker 2: To be that.
2:36
Speaker 1: She always spoke to us as if you know, every
2:40
Speaker 1: and every and anybody was lucky to have us. And
2:43
Speaker 1: I know that her doing that was us, her preparing
2:45
Speaker 1: us for the world, because once you get out in
2:46
Speaker 1: the world, baby, especially as a black woman, they definitely
2:49
Speaker 1: try and humble you. But that period of stillness was
2:51
Speaker 1: probably the first time since you know, being younger and
2:55
Speaker 1: not having all the things moving and you know this place,
2:59
Speaker 1: that place that I had that time, and I realized
3:02
Speaker 1: in that time how much I just wasn't checking in
3:04
Speaker 1: on myself, like literally and and the people I love,
3:07
Speaker 1: but also just on myself. And I keep emphasizing on
3:11
Speaker 1: myself because I think a lot of times when people
3:13
Speaker 1: talk about checking in or checking up on it's always
3:17
Speaker 1: someone else and that's great and you should do it.
3:19
Speaker 1: I make a habit now and I'm not the best
3:21
Speaker 1: at everyday phone calls, but we never just say like, oh,
3:25
Speaker 1: I'm a check up on me, like you know, so
3:28
Speaker 1: me doing that daily on this podcast, especially because you
3:31
Speaker 1: guys listening to me, well, I don't know what day
3:34
Speaker 1: you listening to me. Hopefully you make me a seven
3:36
Speaker 1: day a week than you repeat some episodes. But I
3:39
Speaker 1: know that we publish our episodes on the week days,
3:42
Speaker 1: so during the week it's it's really really hard to
3:45
Speaker 1: take them inute and check up on yourself, right, So
3:48
Speaker 1: me doing that in this podcast with the behind the
3:51
Speaker 1: scenes of the Grind checking is a habit building thing
3:53
Speaker 1: for myself and hopefully for you guys, my low riders
3:56
Speaker 1: as the listeners, so that you know, while our weeks
3:58
Speaker 1: are busy and you're in school, you're at work, you're
4:02
Speaker 1: being mom, you're being dad, wife, husband, girlfriend, you know, employee, employeer,
4:07
Speaker 1: you know all of the things, whatever the things may
4:09
Speaker 1: be for you when you listen to this podcast. I
4:12
Speaker 1: hope when I say all right, y'all, let's checking behind
4:14
Speaker 1: the scenes to the Grind and I'm checking in on me,
4:16
Speaker 1: you were checking in on yourself as well too. There
4:19
Speaker 1: was a young lady actually who wrote me on Instagram.
4:23
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and find this message, so I want
4:26
Speaker 1: to shout out one of our Lowriders. One of our listeners,
4:30
Speaker 1: her name is a'ma Promise on Instagram. That's a'ma am
4:35
Speaker 1: a underscore promise on Instagram, and she was outside in
4:41
Speaker 1: the streets and the tweets and I say that because
4:43
Speaker 1: that's what we talk about whenever I hear from the
4:45
Speaker 1: listeners on social media. And she DMed me and she said,
4:48
Speaker 1: good morning, Lauren. I don't know if it was Tuesday
4:50
Speaker 1: or Monday's episode, but I listened to your Breakfast Club
4:54
Speaker 1: segment on my Alexa and you're being very transparent talking
4:57
Speaker 1: about how you've been unning late the past two days
4:59
Speaker 1: and you're not actually a punctual person. She's talking about
5:02
Speaker 1: the episode of the latest with one of the roads
5:04
Speaker 1: of the podcast. But because it's the same one of
5:05
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, I think that's why she said it
5:07
Speaker 1: like that. But and please go back and check out
5:10
Speaker 1: this episode. I'll get the date of what episode this was,
5:12
Speaker 1: because I remember this day I was talking about because
5:16
Speaker 1: I've been through a season of stillness and I'm kind
5:19
Speaker 1: of back jolted into like, you know, everything moving so fast,
5:22
Speaker 1: and it's like times a thousand, because the Breakfast Club
5:24
Speaker 1: is like it has been the biggest blessing in my
5:27
Speaker 1: life is such an amplifier, but it's a lot to
5:29
Speaker 1: get used to the pace of it.
5:30
Speaker 3: Right.
5:31
Speaker 1: I was talking about just remembering everything I learned in
5:34
Speaker 1: my season of stillness so that I can take control
5:36
Speaker 1: of my day and I let my day take control
5:38
Speaker 1: of me.
5:38
Speaker 3: And I had to do that the other day last week.
5:40
Speaker 1: Actually, she said, how you've been running late the past
5:43
Speaker 1: three days and you're naturally a punctual person.
5:46
Speaker 3: And also some words from your pastor that you reflected on.
5:48
Speaker 1: Shout out to Pastor Jerome Lewis at Seeds of Greatness
5:51
Speaker 1: in Delaware. I just wanted to say that the genuine
5:54
Speaker 1: annointing of God on your life was so apparent to
5:56
Speaker 1: me and your testimony. You weren't saying anything grand or complex,
5:59
Speaker 1: but it was real. At the end of it, I
6:01
Speaker 1: stopped and said a prayer for you. Thank you for
6:02
Speaker 1: that sis in me, because I felt like you were
6:05
Speaker 1: talking about me. Praise and worship is so important. Being
6:08
Speaker 1: confident of this very thing being in this Oh, I'm sorry,
6:12
Speaker 1: this is a scripture. Being confident of this very thing
6:14
Speaker 1: that He which has begun a good work in you
6:17
Speaker 1: will perform it until the day Jesus returns, She says,
6:20
Speaker 1: I prayed that you continue to submit yourself to the
6:23
Speaker 1: will of God, and whatever your venture, you continue with
6:26
Speaker 1: the best of your ability. Made the love of Jesus
6:28
Speaker 1: Christ always cover you. And I just wrote her and said,
6:30
Speaker 1: thank you. That's what I want these check ins to be.
6:33
Speaker 1: In the beginning of the podcast, like I talk to
6:36
Speaker 1: you all about a lot. I talk to you about
6:37
Speaker 1: a lot of people, business, and you know the conversations
6:41
Speaker 1: when we get into the things here. But I think
6:43
Speaker 1: it's so important to understand kind of like you know
6:46
Speaker 1: just how you are feeling that day. It's like when
6:48
Speaker 1: you call somebody before you unload on them, you know
6:51
Speaker 1: you got the friend who's like the best listener and
6:54
Speaker 1: shout out to I have two friends that come to
6:56
Speaker 1: mind when I think of that. Sharon Fontaine the Beat
7:00
Speaker 1: Share the Beat Beauty. She's like one of the best
7:02
Speaker 1: makeup artists in Delaware. She shared a Beat Beauty on
7:05
Speaker 1: Instagram everywhere else. And I have a friend that I
7:09
Speaker 1: grew up with. Her name is Shanee Henry. She does
7:12
Speaker 1: Sisters who Bake two point zero on Instagram. She bakes
7:15
Speaker 1: and does desserts. And those two people who have always
7:18
Speaker 1: been like the most non judgmental, heartfelt listeners I've ever
7:24
Speaker 1: experienced in my life.
7:25
Speaker 3: But when I went through.
7:27
Speaker 1: That season that I keep talking about, like that season
7:29
Speaker 1: of stillness, I realized how much we don't even like
7:34
Speaker 1: like and checking up on myself and knowing when I
7:36
Speaker 1: wasn't feeling okay, but still taking everybody's stuff and answering
7:39
Speaker 1: the phone for people or whatever. I realized, people, it's
7:42
Speaker 1: not even on purpose, but I realized how much we
7:44
Speaker 1: unload on people who might have their own things going on,
7:47
Speaker 1: in their own things happening. So you know how it
7:49
Speaker 1: is when you call somebody and you're like, hey, are
7:52
Speaker 1: you in a like I said, you in a mood?
7:55
Speaker 1: Or are you in an okay space where I can
7:58
Speaker 1: kind of dump a little bit on you like I
8:00
Speaker 1: do that now ever since then? Right, And that's kind
8:03
Speaker 1: of like what I want the opening of this podcast
8:05
Speaker 1: to always feel like, like, all right, let's let's check our energy,
8:08
Speaker 1: let's check our spirituality, let's check our flow, our mental
8:12
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, talk about what we're excited for. Let's,
8:15
Speaker 1: you know, let's check our pasture a little bit before
8:17
Speaker 1: we get into all the things that you know we
8:19
Speaker 1: get into. So yes, that is the behind the scenes
8:23
Speaker 1: of the grind segment. Shout out to the lowriders who
8:26
Speaker 1: are listening and checking in with me when these, you know,
8:28
Speaker 1: opening segments really hit you. Guys, I want to hear
8:30
Speaker 1: from you. I'm Lauren la Roza everywhere l O R
8:33
Speaker 1: E N l O R O s A. Now let's
8:37
Speaker 1: get on into the latest. So speaking of conversations, that's
8:43
Speaker 1: Shake the Room. J Cole is finally doing an interview.
8:47
Speaker 1: Like J Cole and done an interview, and I don't
8:50
Speaker 1: know how long. The fall Off dropped about a month
8:53
Speaker 1: or so ago, which is supposed to be his last album,
8:57
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I feel like every time I
8:59
Speaker 1: hear him talk about how motivated and inspired he is
9:01
Speaker 1: since dropping it, I just don't believe that it's going
9:03
Speaker 1: to be his last album. I feel like he has
9:05
Speaker 1: so much more to say. I just think he had
9:07
Speaker 1: to realize in himself and realize how, you know, like
9:11
Speaker 1: just reconnect as an artist, and his interview serves to
9:14
Speaker 1: prove that. So he sat down with Nedeska, you know,
9:19
Speaker 1: female journalists in the hip hop and music space for
9:22
Speaker 1: Apple Music. Interview was about an hour and a half long,
9:26
Speaker 1: but he details so much the setting of the interview.
9:28
Speaker 1: They are back in Fayetteville in the Carolinas. He's literally
9:32
Speaker 1: in his childhood home, which he now owns and has
9:35
Speaker 1: it set up still, you know, very similar to how
9:37
Speaker 1: it was when he grew up. It's almost staged, just
9:40
Speaker 1: like a museum, honestly. And when the interview opens, like
9:44
Speaker 1: when you see them, they're walking into his home and
9:48
Speaker 1: there's a gate outside of the house, and he talks
9:50
Speaker 1: about the fact that fans come and literally sign you know,
9:54
Speaker 1: the gate. So this is a very safe space for him,
9:56
Speaker 1: and he sets the tone like we do in the
9:58
Speaker 1: beginning of our episode. He sets the tone for home
10:01
Speaker 1: in space and the importance of that in the very
10:03
Speaker 1: opening of the interview.
10:04
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at that.
10:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I can't believe this album actually came out.
10:09
Speaker 2: What are we now like a month to some change removed.
10:13
Speaker 4: Some people told me, like, yo, they're driving like from
10:15
Speaker 4: New York to Miami, and they'll see the Favue exit
10:17
Speaker 4: and they like just get off, you know what I mean.
10:19
Speaker 4: They come like take a picture, they'll sign you know
10:22
Speaker 4: what I mean. Some of these are faded because they've been.
10:23
Speaker 2: Here for mad long.
10:26
Speaker 5: So this is actually the beat machine that you got
10:27
Speaker 5: on lay away.
10:29
Speaker 2: This is the one.
10:29
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's the exact one, because somewhere
10:31
Speaker 4: along the line we had to buy another one. But
10:35
Speaker 4: it's not because we lost the original. It's just because,
10:37
Speaker 4: like something else we were doing, we needed it, so
10:40
Speaker 4: somewhere along the way they might have got shuffled. So
10:42
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is one we bought up
10:43
Speaker 4: was the original, but that is the same style at
10:45
Speaker 4: the very least, it might be.
10:47
Speaker 2: The exact same one that I had. Yeah, that my
10:49
Speaker 2: mom got, like.
10:50
Speaker 6: We waited what ten years for this album and to
10:53
Speaker 6: be able to celebrate it here with you at twenty
10:56
Speaker 6: fourteen Forest Soils Drive.
10:57
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm in a J. Cole museum.
11:00
Speaker 6: Hm. And you said that you were gonna step out
11:04
Speaker 6: of your comfort zone, which is home, to have some conversations,
11:07
Speaker 6: but you find the loophole and still invite us into
11:10
Speaker 6: your home.
11:10
Speaker 4: That's a good point. That's a good point. And I
11:12
Speaker 4: am out of my comforts. I ain't gonna lie because
11:14
Speaker 4: I could feel it right now. I'm like, oh man,
11:15
Speaker 4: I'm nervous, you know what I mean? Like strangely enough,
11:19
Speaker 4: but but I'm nervous because I'm you know, I own
11:21
Speaker 4: the last time I did an interview, you know, And
11:23
Speaker 4: then he.
11:24
Speaker 1: Starts to talk about how, you know, at one point
11:27
Speaker 1: his love for home and Fitville and coming back home,
11:31
Speaker 1: you know, once he was away for college and got
11:33
Speaker 1: a deal and you know all that, it just started
11:35
Speaker 1: to die and it started to change.
11:37
Speaker 3: And that was a scary thing. That's said thing.
11:41
Speaker 5: On Run a Train.
11:43
Speaker 6: There is a line where you say something like, you know,
11:45
Speaker 6: phenomenon in my heart, but I can start to feel
11:49
Speaker 6: the flame dying. And for cole fans, like we have
11:51
Speaker 6: been hearing you talk about fell like vill maatic like
11:54
Speaker 6: everything for so long that actually hearing that that line
11:58
Speaker 6: really hit me.
11:59
Speaker 2: Nah, that's real, that's real. You want to talk about
12:01
Speaker 2: that line?
12:02
Speaker 5: Yeah.
12:02
Speaker 4: First of all, when I went away to school, when
12:06
Speaker 4: I left FABE and went to New York, I love
12:09
Speaker 4: coming home. Like it was one of these of course
12:11
Speaker 4: I love New York. It was amazing to be up there,
12:13
Speaker 4: but like I really look forward to getting back home
12:15
Speaker 4: and I was missing home. So any type of three
12:17
Speaker 4: day week and we had like in school, it was
12:18
Speaker 4: like I'm driving home, I couldn't wait to come home
12:21
Speaker 4: and just a party at the same parties I was
12:23
Speaker 4: going to. But I didn't want to miss nothing. I
12:25
Speaker 4: wanted to at least be home. And that lasted throughout
12:28
Speaker 4: my twenties really, like especially when we like you know,
12:32
Speaker 4: then I'm in college, were coming back.
12:34
Speaker 2: Then I got a deal.
12:36
Speaker 4: We coming back, and it's more in a different level,
12:38
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Because it's like I'm back
12:40
Speaker 4: in Fairvue and it's like, yo, we got action and activity,
12:42
Speaker 4: and it's like the love is different. But there was
12:45
Speaker 4: a point where I started coming back home and it
12:48
Speaker 4: felt different to me, you know what I mean, Like
12:52
Speaker 4: it was heavy when I was coming back home. It
12:54
Speaker 4: was like a burden, whether imaginary or real. It was
12:57
Speaker 4: like a burden that I felt, and a heavyness and
13:00
Speaker 4: almost a darkness, and like, uh, whether it's in a
13:05
Speaker 4: form of like bad news violence.
13:08
Speaker 2: It also was a time when the shit.
13:09
Speaker 4: Was getting really really bad, you know what I mean,
13:11
Speaker 4: Like everything you hear is like, yo, this shit worse now.
13:14
Speaker 4: It's dangerous now. And it was like, you know, very
13:17
Speaker 4: sad stories coming out of the city. On top of that,
13:20
Speaker 4: there would be like such and such, such and such
13:22
Speaker 4: a bouts, Yo, you ain't here, why dude?
13:24
Speaker 5: Why is you?
13:25
Speaker 2: Know what I mean?
13:25
Speaker 4: Like these situations of people around the city that has
13:28
Speaker 4: something to say about it.
13:29
Speaker 1: And the reason why I think that that was such
13:30
Speaker 1: an important conversation for him to have and the opening
13:34
Speaker 1: of this interview is because I think it really explains
13:37
Speaker 1: the backdrop of why the fall off took so long.
13:42
Speaker 1: You know, he says eight plus years he had been
13:44
Speaker 1: working and teasing this album. But I also think I
13:48
Speaker 1: think it shows you, guys, just a little bit about
13:52
Speaker 1: you know, as a person, regardless if you're a music
13:57
Speaker 1: artist or whatever you're you can have. You could be
13:59
Speaker 1: a doctor, lawyer, uh l. I don't care where you
14:03
Speaker 1: work at, whatever you do. At some point in your life,
14:06
Speaker 1: everybody experiences a growth, a growth and a change in
14:10
Speaker 1: your life where it's like you really can't control it
14:13
Speaker 1: and you can't anticipate it.
14:15
Speaker 3: It's just things are changing.
14:17
Speaker 1: You're outgrowing things that you used to love, places you
14:20
Speaker 1: used to love, like conversations you used to love and
14:23
Speaker 1: used to entertain, and it's happening in a way where
14:26
Speaker 1: you can't stop it if you tried. And the best
14:30
Speaker 1: of us don't run from that, right not the best
14:32
Speaker 1: of us. But I think people who really want to
14:34
Speaker 1: grow and who really wanna you know, it's uncomfortable as hell.
14:37
Speaker 1: But people who really want to grow and who really
14:39
Speaker 1: want to be uncomfortable, we lean in and we we
14:42
Speaker 1: let the growth happen. But there's something that happens just
14:46
Speaker 1: mentally that kind of disconnects you from everything that you
14:50
Speaker 1: were comfortable with and you have to get comfortable again
14:52
Speaker 1: in a different way. And hearing him talk about this,
14:56
Speaker 1: for me, I'm like, okay, So as an artist, that
15:00
Speaker 1: it puts your mind just in such a different space,
15:03
Speaker 1: right because it's like everything you thought was so great
15:06
Speaker 1: at one point you now looking at it like what
15:09
Speaker 1: like that that's corny. And he was going through that
15:12
Speaker 1: battle while trying to record the fall off and everything
15:16
Speaker 1: that came before might delete later and just you know,
15:18
Speaker 1: all these different things. So I'm like, Okay, now I
15:20
Speaker 1: have a better understanding because at one point I felt
15:23
Speaker 1: like and listen, like, I love J Cole, I have
15:26
Speaker 1: nothing against him.
15:27
Speaker 3: I'm not like the diehard J.
15:29
Speaker 1: Coole fans, Like I know there are people out there
15:30
Speaker 1: that because when you say it's like certain celebrities when
15:34
Speaker 1: you say you're a fan of them, you gotta be
15:36
Speaker 1: like Dowding, like J Cole, Drake, Nicki, Minaj, Beyonce. Their
15:43
Speaker 1: fans are like literally they grew up, live and breathe everything,
15:47
Speaker 1: every project, every word, every you know what I mean.
15:50
Speaker 1: Like so when I say I'm a J. Cole fan,
15:52
Speaker 1: I'm not that level of J Coo fan. But I
15:54
Speaker 1: do like his music and I do follow his career
15:57
Speaker 1: a bit because I love how vulnerable he is and
15:59
Speaker 1: just how like relatable he is. And you know, it's
16:02
Speaker 1: just my time period like being in college and listening
16:04
Speaker 1: to Coole and like, you know, watching his rides from
16:07
Speaker 1: Like he has a story I can relate to, Like
16:08
Speaker 1: he moved to the big city, you know, from a
16:11
Speaker 1: smaller city. He was in college doing this thing. Then
16:14
Speaker 1: he chased his dream and it was you know, tough,
16:16
Speaker 1: but he did it and he's back home and trying
16:17
Speaker 1: to figure it out.
16:18
Speaker 3: Like, man, feel you heard you right?
16:22
Speaker 1: But I started to feel like, yo, he's so dramatic,
16:25
Speaker 1: Like why is it like just put it out, just
16:29
Speaker 1: do it. And now that I'm hearing him in this
16:32
Speaker 1: interview talk about you know, the changes in the disruption
16:37
Speaker 1: and the disconnection that he was going in and out
16:38
Speaker 1: of and I just know now, especially when you're doing
16:41
Speaker 1: it in front of the world, how difficult that can be.
16:46
Speaker 1: And it's like you don't know until you experienced it.
16:49
Speaker 1: So I felt him. It made me have a lot
16:51
Speaker 1: more empathy for him and a lot of the things
16:53
Speaker 1: that we saw prior to the fall off and things
16:56
Speaker 1: that we're seeing now after the fall off. Right, So
16:59
Speaker 1: he talked about two being like first generation artists that
17:03
Speaker 1: was like critiqued heavily by like social media, right because
17:07
Speaker 1: he's there as like MySpace and then boom, Instagram is
17:10
Speaker 1: getting big in Facebook and Twitter comes along and everybody's
17:14
Speaker 1: critiquing you and everybody has something to say. And he
17:17
Speaker 1: was very honest about the fact that, like that wasn't easy.
17:20
Speaker 1: And I feel him, like, especially when you're new in
17:24
Speaker 1: a space, when you're disrupting, let's take a listen.
17:28
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
17:28
Speaker 6: Like you talk about coming up and being this first
17:30
Speaker 6: generation of artists, like growing up inside social media and
17:33
Speaker 6: always having to deal with people picking you apart, right,
17:37
Speaker 6: that can really really get in your head, Like at
17:39
Speaker 6: what point do you feel like you got to handle
17:41
Speaker 6: on blocking that.
17:42
Speaker 5: Out as well?
17:43
Speaker 4: For seel Job, was my first great, great time of
17:47
Speaker 4: like escaping that first step is like, yo, just you know.
17:53
Speaker 4: I had a rule when I was working on an album,
17:54
Speaker 4: which is like, yo, don't you can't go on social media.
17:57
Speaker 2: That was the first that was a life saving rule.
17:59
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, was like, yo, everything you
18:01
Speaker 4: make it for you like, like don't because there was
18:04
Speaker 4: a dark period where it was like yo, that first
18:07
Speaker 4: album period. You know, I'm picking my snare drums. Is
18:11
Speaker 4: this a hit snare drum? I'm right in my lines,
18:13
Speaker 4: Like is this line gonna work in the.
18:15
Speaker 2: Club or the show? It's like it was the worst.
18:17
Speaker 4: So I had a rule no social media and no
18:19
Speaker 4: uh no, and when you make it, it's got to
18:22
Speaker 4: be from a pure place. So that was the first
18:23
Speaker 4: time I got it right. So I delicately uh balanced
18:29
Speaker 4: that and maintain that. There's been times in the past
18:31
Speaker 4: few years where it's like I might lean like lean
18:34
Speaker 4: back and like poke my head more, and every time
18:36
Speaker 4: it feels disgusting, like it feels nasty, it's like, oh God,
18:39
Speaker 4: like I hate how I feel right now just even reading.
18:42
Speaker 1: So then fast forward, right, they then start having a
18:45
Speaker 1: conversation about everything that we saw at Dreamville, which was
18:49
Speaker 1: his festival that he was doing in the carolineas when
18:52
Speaker 1: you bring together about your artists. The last time you
18:54
Speaker 1: had that festival was supposed to be the last year
18:55
Speaker 1: of the festival. But then he you know, he recently
18:58
Speaker 1: said to a fan on this press run for the
19:00
Speaker 1: fall off that it might come back in a different way.
19:03
Speaker 3: So that's what I'm saying.
19:04
Speaker 1: I don't know if anything that's supposed to end with
19:05
Speaker 1: him is actually going to end, because I feel like
19:07
Speaker 1: there's this new inspiration in him now. But he talks
19:11
Speaker 1: about the moment he knew he was going to apologize
19:14
Speaker 1: and just how bad he felt involving himself in all
19:17
Speaker 1: this mess that he didn't want to be a part of.
19:18
Speaker 3: A lot of people say he.
19:19
Speaker 1: Felt like this just because his verse at Kendrick was
19:22
Speaker 1: not good. It was whack but or not his best.
19:26
Speaker 1: But to me, it seems like, you know, for him,
19:29
Speaker 1: it was more spiritual, let's take over.
19:31
Speaker 4: The more I started to work this is after Kendrick
19:33
Speaker 4: Drake Dreamville Fest, I basically had to like just gather
19:42
Speaker 4: myself first of all, had to like recover that shit
19:44
Speaker 4: was like, you know, that shit was a big whirlwind
19:49
Speaker 4: of emotions at that time because I felt like I
19:51
Speaker 4: misrepresented myself, you know what I mean.
19:53
Speaker 2: It's like, all of a sudden, I'm.
19:54
Speaker 4: Giving life to division into a negative to negative storylines
19:59
Speaker 4: or negati the perceptions on somebody that I fucked with
20:02
Speaker 4: and got loved for, you know what I mean, somebody
20:04
Speaker 4: that I care about, And it's like, oh shit, I
20:06
Speaker 4: felt miserable about it, and so I'm like, oh my god,
20:08
Speaker 4: I got to go on the stage and like come
20:11
Speaker 4: out here and pretend almost like people think that I'm
20:14
Speaker 4: representing that Mike de lete Later had just dropped.
20:16
Speaker 2: It's the biggest news.
20:17
Speaker 4: Not saying Mike delete later is, but just the drama
20:19
Speaker 4: of all of this is the biggest news happening. And
20:21
Speaker 4: I'm coming out as a representative of what the fuck
20:25
Speaker 4: they just heard. It's like ah nah, So an hour
20:27
Speaker 4: before it was like oh aha, like yo, in a
20:33
Speaker 4: very loud manner, you know, in a very public forum
20:37
Speaker 4: on your album, you said some shit you didn't believe in.
20:40
Speaker 4: Now you got the opportunity to go on to a
20:43
Speaker 4: bigger form, you know what I mean. A bigger stage
20:45
Speaker 4: is being live stream, live stream and say something that
20:47
Speaker 4: you believe in and in that moment, I'm like, oh,
20:50
Speaker 4: thank you God. Like I told my wife, she's the
20:53
Speaker 4: only one I told. I ain't telling nobody else. I
20:54
Speaker 4: was like, Yo, this won't about to go do She
20:56
Speaker 4: started crying because she know she know how I feel
20:59
Speaker 4: about him, you know what I mean, Like she knows,
21:01
Speaker 4: and she saw how it was weighing on me the
21:03
Speaker 4: two three days before that. She could see and my
21:05
Speaker 4: whole energy, and she would even ask me and I'm
21:07
Speaker 4: just like, yeah, I got a lot going on right now.
21:09
Speaker 4: Like so so when I go and do it, I
21:13
Speaker 4: felt even better than I felt knowing I was going
21:15
Speaker 4: to do.
21:15
Speaker 1: I felt like it's like I understand where he's coming
21:19
Speaker 1: from with it. But like I also, I can't blame
21:26
Speaker 1: anybody for all of the responses that he got, Like
21:29
Speaker 1: I can't like the way that rapping hip hop is
21:31
Speaker 1: set up. I don't care how healed and how much
21:34
Speaker 1: therapy people are doing. It's not built for this type
21:38
Speaker 1: of conversation in this stuff. And he said something in
21:41
Speaker 1: this interview that I wishing the Desk Goat followed up on.
21:43
Speaker 1: He said to him, it didn't matter what people had
21:45
Speaker 1: to say because he knew that Kendrick heard him. I
21:49
Speaker 1: would love to know if him and Kendrick have had
21:51
Speaker 1: a conversation about that apology, and if what was the conversation.
21:59
Speaker 1: Would love to know they also like had a It
22:02
Speaker 1: was weird because she Nadeska asks him about like what
22:05
Speaker 1: his relationship now was with Drake or whatever, right, and
22:10
Speaker 1: and just you know the whole everything that happened after that,
22:13
Speaker 1: like not like us and all of that. Right, And
22:16
Speaker 1: he starts to answer, and he's answering the question, but
22:18
Speaker 1: then the what if the interview cuts It's like they
22:20
Speaker 1: cut out his answer.
22:21
Speaker 3: Let's take a listen, you've hired.
22:24
Speaker 6: Your relationship with Kendrick and Drake stretch back years. You
22:27
Speaker 6: know what I mean, I don't know what it is.
22:29
Speaker 6: It's like with you guys now.
22:31
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all those dudes that.
22:36
Speaker 4: I admire, these dudes, I got genuine love for these dudes,
22:39
Speaker 4: Like I hate to see the world shit on either
22:44
Speaker 4: one of them in defense of the other.
22:46
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
22:47
Speaker 4: It's like, Roan, what that shit is? Even saying it
22:50
Speaker 4: out loud is a little silly.
22:51
Speaker 6: Well, at the end of the day, I'm god, you
22:53
Speaker 6: made the decision that was right for you. Appreciate it,
22:55
Speaker 6: you know what I mean that, like you feel good
22:57
Speaker 6: and you could sleep well at night, and then you
22:58
Speaker 6: make an album that you love and your and.
23:01
Speaker 3: Y'all hear it too.
23:02
Speaker 1: I don't know because I was watching it with my
23:04
Speaker 1: boyfriend and he caught it first, and then I had
23:07
Speaker 1: to because I was like taking notes oro in an interview.
23:08
Speaker 3: So I've rewinded it back and I heard it.
23:09
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, they definitely cut out the rest of
23:13
Speaker 1: his response because they literally just he's talking, talking, talking,
23:16
Speaker 1: and it's like he's about to go into this heartfelt
23:19
Speaker 1: you know. He doesn't like the comparisons because he talks
23:21
Speaker 1: about how he doesn't like the whole comparison of like
23:25
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan and Lebron James, right, because if you're going
23:28
Speaker 1: to compare and big up one person and you low
23:31
Speaker 1: ki have to tear down another and you can enjoy
23:34
Speaker 1: the heights in the accomplishments of another person because you
23:38
Speaker 1: have to talk about the bad parts to get to
23:40
Speaker 1: all the good parts over here about somebody else. And
23:42
Speaker 1: he compares hip hop to like sports in that way
23:45
Speaker 1: about like you know how people critique everything in hip hop,
23:48
Speaker 1: but that's the sport of it, like that is just
23:50
Speaker 1: what it's built on, right, especially for a lyricists like
23:54
Speaker 1: Jay Cole occupying what was the Big Three at one point?
23:58
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is right now.
23:59
Speaker 1: Maybe Kendrick said it's just big him, so look up
24:03
Speaker 1: up until it up up. That's up for interpretation of
24:05
Speaker 1: what if we if y'all even think we still have
24:06
Speaker 1: a Big three or not after all of this.
24:08
Speaker 3: But I thought that was weird.
24:10
Speaker 1: It's like very obvious that they cut something out of
24:12
Speaker 1: the interview, Like now I want to know, like, well,
24:15
Speaker 1: what is the relationship with Drake. Drake got Iceman coming
24:19
Speaker 1: and I don't know when that is supposed to come,
24:22
Speaker 1: but I'm hoping that he'll actually like address things in
24:27
Speaker 1: a real way because a few episodes are going to
24:29
Speaker 1: have a few probably like a couple of months ago,
24:31
Speaker 1: when Drake dropped what did I Miss?
24:34
Speaker 3: Go back and take a listen to the episode, I
24:37
Speaker 3: was pissed.
24:37
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, at this point, Drake, if you're not
24:40
Speaker 1: gonna have a real conversation about this and stop acting
24:42
Speaker 1: like you don't know what happened, let's like I.
24:45
Speaker 3: Don't even want to hear it, Like I would rather
24:47
Speaker 3: just hear good songs.
24:48
Speaker 1: No kid was a good Drake makes great songs, and
24:51
Speaker 1: I know Iceman is going to be great. I'm actually
24:53
Speaker 1: excited to hear it. But I kind of feel like
24:57
Speaker 1: now because it's like everybody's skating around it. Jake Cole
25:00
Speaker 1: ain't saying nothing. Drake is acting like he don't even
25:03
Speaker 1: know what happened. I want somebody to have a real
25:05
Speaker 1: conversation about, you know, what it feels like being on
25:09
Speaker 1: the inside of that.
25:11
Speaker 3: Jake Cole attempted to.
25:13
Speaker 5: He did.
25:14
Speaker 1: He talked about the aftermath of you know, the apology,
25:17
Speaker 1: and you know, they had means of him like walking
25:19
Speaker 1: on the beach and you know, all this stuff. He
25:22
Speaker 1: talked about kind of what it felt like being on
25:24
Speaker 1: the inside of that and people hitting him up, like
25:27
Speaker 1: because people thought it was over for shake Hold during
25:30
Speaker 1: that time. Let's take a listen.
25:31
Speaker 5: I mean, like, I don't care how upset y'all are.
25:34
Speaker 4: Fuck, I was so light and like and because I
25:38
Speaker 4: knew at the end of the day he heard me
25:41
Speaker 4: and the world heard me.
25:42
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
25:42
Speaker 4: It's like, yo, if I never said another word on
25:45
Speaker 4: this again, Like y'all see where I stand. And it's like, Yo,
25:48
Speaker 4: I made in my mind, I made it wrong or right.
25:51
Speaker 4: And the best way that I could, Yo, you did wrong.
25:54
Speaker 4: You were in the wrong. I put myself in the wrong. Now,
25:56
Speaker 4: mind you, In my mind I had like justifications and
26:00
Speaker 4: how I thought it would go and boom boom.
26:03
Speaker 2: But but in reality.
26:05
Speaker 4: When it actually played out, I was like, oh god,
26:07
Speaker 4: that was fucking stupid and and and now how do
26:10
Speaker 4: you make it wrong or right?
26:11
Speaker 2: And that was it just came to me like an
26:13
Speaker 2: hour before I.
26:15
Speaker 5: Got to give you. I got to give you props
26:16
Speaker 5: for that. You're you're a brave a brave persons. Like
26:18
Speaker 5: you said your hip hop is.
26:20
Speaker 6: I love this culture, but it is scary, you know
26:23
Speaker 6: what I mean, the way people will come for you.
26:25
Speaker 5: Like personally attack you for things.
26:27
Speaker 6: And the things people said after that were were you
26:31
Speaker 6: really just hanging.
26:32
Speaker 5: Out on a beach minding your business? After this?
26:35
Speaker 4: But it was funny because I was actually at a beach, uh,
26:39
Speaker 4: just for like a couple of days.
26:40
Speaker 2: I went to this little beach spot.
26:43
Speaker 4: And so but mind you, I didn't know that the
26:46
Speaker 4: I guess a meme or whatever was going around saying that.
26:49
Speaker 4: So people showing me like, bro, this is crazy like
26:51
Speaker 4: you're actually at a beach, but it wasn't. But mind
26:54
Speaker 4: you to let you know though, because it kind of
26:56
Speaker 4: goes all we were saying earlier. But I didn't finish
26:58
Speaker 4: my thought where it's like I did what I did,
27:01
Speaker 4: and I felt light free, like I had did the
27:06
Speaker 4: right thing for me, you know what I mean, I
27:08
Speaker 4: had made a wrong right however, like you know, the
27:11
Speaker 4: world they don't give a fuck about that, and they
27:14
Speaker 4: fucking me up, like in terms of like you know,
27:17
Speaker 4: they fucking.
27:18
Speaker 2: Me up basically, like my name, reputation, boom boom.
27:21
Speaker 4: And so that was although, like you know, the likeness
27:26
Speaker 4: that I felt made it easier to deal with over time,
27:29
Speaker 4: I don't know how long that shit lasted. It felt
27:31
Speaker 4: like a very long time, but it was like over time,
27:33
Speaker 4: I had to process that shit and I had to
27:35
Speaker 4: I had to get right because you know, of course,
27:39
Speaker 4: at the time, it felt like the right move, and
27:41
Speaker 4: it always felt like the right move, but there were
27:42
Speaker 4: times where the thoughts of like damn, nigga, you're fucking
27:46
Speaker 4: done right now, you know what I mean, Like that's
27:48
Speaker 4: what the world is saying, it's over.
27:50
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like it's a big extreme
27:52
Speaker 1: of like it was over. It was done for J
27:54
Speaker 1: Cole at that time, but it was definitely like I
27:58
Speaker 1: think people had never seen anything like that, but it
28:00
Speaker 1: was definitely, Oh my god, Like the conversation was so loud.
28:06
Speaker 1: I can't imagine, like he's talking about he's learning to
28:10
Speaker 1: like get off of social media and his phone. When
28:12
Speaker 1: things happened, bro, I feel like I would have had
28:14
Speaker 1: to leave the US and like completely, Like I cannot
28:17
Speaker 1: imagine being J Cole during that time Drake, J Cole
28:22
Speaker 1: and Kendrick Lamar. Honestly, they gave us one of the
28:27
Speaker 1: best years in hip hop conversation and sportsmanship even though
28:33
Speaker 1: he bowed out and people, you know, will say that
28:35
Speaker 1: wasn't sportsmanship, that wasn't him competing for nothing, not get it.
28:38
Speaker 1: I agree, right, but it was entertaining. But were you
28:43
Speaker 1: not entertained, It was definitely entertaining. Can't imagine being him now,
28:49
Speaker 1: speaking of entertaining. Shifting gears a bit justin Timberlake, so
28:53
Speaker 1: we talked about on this previous episode. Justin Timberlake, and
28:57
Speaker 1: you know, he was in this battle with the police
29:00
Speaker 1: in sag Harbor, which is it's like a it's a
29:04
Speaker 1: town in New York. So he was in this battle
29:08
Speaker 1: with police here because he didn't want them to release
29:12
Speaker 1: the bodycam footage of his DWI. He had gotten word that,
29:17
Speaker 1: you know, different media outlets were submitting requests to get
29:21
Speaker 1: the videos, and he didn't want people to be able
29:25
Speaker 1: to receive the videos.
29:26
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah.
29:27
Speaker 1: Right, But this past week, police in sag Harbor announced
29:32
Speaker 1: that they came to an agreement with Justin Bieber and
29:34
Speaker 1: that they were going to release video footage from the bodycam,
29:38
Speaker 1: but it was going to be partially redacted, so basically
29:41
Speaker 1: like a lot of personal information would be redacted from
29:45
Speaker 1: the video. Now, Justin was, you know, trying everything in
29:50
Speaker 1: his power to make sure that like nothing would come
29:53
Speaker 1: out because I feel like, I mean, of course, you
29:55
Speaker 1: don't want video out there floating where he's mentioned in
29:58
Speaker 1: personal information and address and things of that nature. And
30:00
Speaker 1: sometimes when full bodycam video is released, it is very
30:04
Speaker 1: unedited and it's up to the media outlets to edit
30:07
Speaker 1: things and redact things. But then things get to social
30:10
Speaker 1: media and that doesn't always happen. So I can understand that,
30:13
Speaker 1: but in the video he's obviously drunk. They try to
30:17
Speaker 1: do a fell sobriety test, and it gets to a
30:19
Speaker 1: point where like he he's telling them I can't.
30:22
Speaker 3: Do this test. It's just too much, and his friend
30:25
Speaker 3: steps in for the win. Let's take a listen.
30:28
Speaker 7: So the stops because you're veering off to the left
30:32
Speaker 7: and then you're not stopping.
30:33
Speaker 2: At the stop signs.
30:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry about that?
30:37
Speaker 2: Is this your vehicle? Whose vehicle is?

Speaker 5: him if he wants me to give him his foul.
32:25
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is insane, so it's not gonna be a
32:27
Speaker 7: long thing.
32:28
Speaker 5: I'll let you walk over now.
32:30
Speaker 3: Justin was taken in he failed to feel sobriety test.
32:33
Speaker 3: He was then booked.
32:35
Speaker 1: He ended up pleading guilty to a lesser charge that
32:38
Speaker 1: did not involve drunk driving or even a criminal offense.
32:42
Speaker 1: He ended up copping to a traffic violation and got
32:45
Speaker 1: off with a slap on the rist. Basically, but when
32:47
Speaker 1: he was originally arrested, he was originally arrested under suspicion
32:52
Speaker 1: of driving while under the influence, and it was like,
32:57
Speaker 1: it's such a big deal. And I remember he released
32:59
Speaker 1: a statement and try to make it seem like, you know,
33:01
Speaker 1: he had just had a few cocktails, but he's drunk
33:05
Speaker 1: in his video like it is.
33:06
Speaker 3: It is very obvious.
33:08
Speaker 1: And cops has said when they arrested him that they
33:10
Speaker 1: had started following him because he couldn't even keep a
33:13
Speaker 1: straight line on the road. They were following him for
33:15
Speaker 1: about a mile and a half or yeah, they were
33:19
Speaker 1: following him for about half a mile before they turned
33:22
Speaker 1: their lights on and pulled him over. He pulled over
33:24
Speaker 1: the intersection and then they you know, did everything that
33:29
Speaker 1: they did with the phil sobriety test, but his eyes
33:30
Speaker 1: were bloodshot red, they were glossy, and the actually smelt
33:34
Speaker 1: the odor of the alcohol on him. His speech was bad,
33:38
Speaker 1: like they had described everything we're seeing in his video.
33:41
Speaker 1: So he I was saying he was lucky to get
33:43
Speaker 1: off the way that he got off, because you know,
33:46
Speaker 1: they hold it on you. They did, and it should like,
33:48
Speaker 1: you know, people died because of drunk driving, like they
33:51
Speaker 1: definitely should. Yeah, so now the body cams out, there's
33:55
Speaker 1: also booking a footage of Justin Bieber as well too,
33:59
Speaker 1: and some of the booking foe.
34:00
Speaker 3: I know, some of the parts is gone viral.
34:03
Speaker 1: People are laughing at the fact that when they identified
34:06
Speaker 1: him as white, he kind of joked about not being
34:08
Speaker 1: identified as white.
34:09
Speaker 3: Let's look at again white.
34:16
Speaker 2: I'm just kiddy man.
34:20
Speaker 3: Child, y'all have had Justin.
34:22
Speaker 1: I keep saying Justin Bieber, I keep confusing the white
34:24
Speaker 1: boys and be at the cookout Justin Timberlake, y'all that
34:27
Speaker 1: Justin Timberlake over on our side.
34:29
Speaker 3: A little bit too long, baby.
34:29
Speaker 1: He took a looking at the police like white, excuse me, look,
34:34
Speaker 1: drunk driving is on laughing matter whatsoever. I know he
34:37
Speaker 1: was able to crack a little joke or too up
34:38
Speaker 1: in here, but not a laughing matter at all. And
34:41
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I'm kind of glad that
34:44
Speaker 1: the body can't footage had to come out, like he
34:46
Speaker 1: had to come to an agreement where the body cant
34:48
Speaker 1: footage had to come out. I think that, you know,
34:51
Speaker 1: a lot of times, not even just for celebrities, but
34:53
Speaker 1: for people in general, Like I feel like we don't
34:56
Speaker 1: learn sometimes unless you know there's like a I don't
35:00
Speaker 1: learn in quiet. Like the slap owner risk is cool,
35:02
Speaker 1: but I think sometimes there has to be like a
35:04
Speaker 1: public element to things, especially things like this where it's
35:07
Speaker 1: like someone's life could have been taken because justin Timberlake
35:10
Speaker 1: decided that he went the driver's own car. And I
35:12
Speaker 1: never understand that either with celebrities, it's like, yo, you
35:16
Speaker 1: can afford a driver. You can afford even if it's
35:20
Speaker 1: just like an uber X, like you can afford it,
35:22
Speaker 1: why not do it? Like I never understood that with celebrities,
35:25
Speaker 1: like who just have the money to be able to
35:27
Speaker 1: do it? Like why if I had the money to
35:31
Speaker 1: afford a driver every time I went somewhere, I would
35:34
Speaker 1: never drive ever?
35:37
Speaker 3: Like ever, I don't get it.
35:38
Speaker 1: So I think you need an element of this kind
35:40
Speaker 1: of like public shame and embarrassment to keep them on track,
35:44
Speaker 1: because that's what he was trying to avoid.
35:45
Speaker 3: I think it was more for him, it was about like, okay,
35:47
Speaker 3: we got past this.
35:48
Speaker 1: The slapowner risk happened, didn't have to do any jail time,
35:51
Speaker 1: but now people need to see this, and I know
35:53
Speaker 1: he has you know's justin Timberlake.
35:55
Speaker 3: He'll be fine.
35:57
Speaker 1: He's white, even though he forgot, he was he'll be good,
35:59
Speaker 1: but you need an element of here's what we want
36:02
Speaker 1: to hold you accountable to so that it won't happen again.
36:05
Speaker 1: So I'm sure he's learned his lesson. If not, this
36:07
Speaker 1: body can't footage that is viral as hell. It's gonna
36:10
Speaker 1: be a great reminder every single time he forgives. This
36:13
