  Speaker 1: George.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I'm a homegrown that knows a little bit about everything
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: and everybody.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you don't lie about that, right,
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Lauren came.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, y'all, what's up. It's Laurena Rosa and this is
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: another episode of the Latest with Lauren Rosa. This is
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: literally dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: all of the conversations that shake the room. Baby. Now
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: we are going to get right on into it, because
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: y'all know we always kick off our episodes checking in
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes of the grind. So coming off of
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a long holiday weekend, I really got a sense of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: like anxiousness as I was preparing for the work week
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: this week. And I don't know. I don't know if
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: it's because, you know, with everything being I was gonna
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: say new, But we're still doing the same job. It's
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: just airing a bit differently in certain ways. I mean,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: everything's still going to be on the radio, YouTube and
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: all the things, but now that Breakfast Club is heading
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: on over to Netflix and we will be live. I've
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: been just talking myself a lot through all right, Lauren,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you're live. You know, there's certain things I want to
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: tighten up and things of that nature. And I don't
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: know if maybe I'm putting a lot more pressure on
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: myself that I need to be doing because I am
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: essentially doing the job I've been doing every day for
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a little over a year now. But man, preparing for
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: work last night, I just I was so interested to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the point where I didn't even have an appetite. It was
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Memorial Day, we grilled, and I literally just did not
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: have an appetite. And I don't know what the workaround
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: for that is, but I just want to be honest
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and letting people know that, like, no matter how much
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: someone is doing something every single day, if you really
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: care about what you're doing, if you really care about
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you know, doing it right, being successful at it in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: not missing your mark. The anxiousness and the butterflies, you
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: can't escape them. It's like first day jitters, and it's
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: not first day. And I think for me, because there's
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of like watching everything, understanding things, I'm always like,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: oh my god, I hope nothing is missed. I hope
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: you know information is correct. I hope and not even hope.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: A lot of times I pray on it. I pray
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: after I get the segments and you know, the topics
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: together and in the morning as well, that like I'm
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: able to communicate best because I am still in real
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: time learning in front of the world, and now we're
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: doing it all live. Now we're doing it live daily
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: on Netflix across the world like globally. So you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: it's like with new levels, there comes new preparation that
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: is necessary in new discipline, and I don't know, the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: anxiousness of it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: All just.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Has me like that's literally how I feel. It's like
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited, but at the same time, I am
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: like making sure I've ditted all my eyes across all
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: my te's and maybe I'm overthinking it. You know, like
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: when you step into something that you have been like
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: naturally just like you know, being able to communicate things further, conversation, storyteller.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Those are things that I've always naturally just you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: been able to do and knew that I wanted to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: make a career out of in different facets. But when
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you see it beginning to elevate, and you know, you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: start to personally challenge yourself to be better. I think
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with that. But one of the things
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm learning throughout this is even though you do that
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and you should, you always should want to be better,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you also just gotta take a breather and be like,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I got this though. So this is me talking to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: me girl. You got this. Breakfast Club Live on Netflix June. First,

• 6:09

  Speaker 2: the night was just again it was it was literally

  Speaker 2: like being out with your homegirls. So I just wanted
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: to take a second before we got into the American
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Music Awards because we're talking about big stages here to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: commend them because they, prior to us going on stage,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: talk to me a bit about being nervous because this
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: is their first time back on turn a while. Let's
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: take a listen to that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: First of all, I just want to say thank y'all

  Speaker 5: this means more than y'all know.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I'm really nervous right now. Shout out to my bestie.

  Speaker 5: We started this tour off in New York, so we're

  Speaker 2: Of course we're here.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we appreciate child because we are very nervous because
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: we haven't went.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: On to wear in a few years.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: To have all of y'all showscus in this way, it
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: just makes us feel so baby did y'all have packed
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the blockout. We can't even get down the streets, So
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: don't even be nervous about nothing. And if you guys
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: are unfamiliar with their podcasts again, their podcast is called
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Poor Months. They are one of the podcasts right now,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: in my opinion that is becoming one of the most
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: culturally relevant podcasts with two black women podcasters. You know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I've seen them in the Summer Walker video and they
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: have a plethora of guests. Everybody from two Chains to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Charlottete to everybody has done their show. Savannah James, the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: wife of Lebron James, has done their show. But I
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: think what I found to be so dope was the
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: fact that people are showing up, and I mean showing
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: up like traffic down the street. Couldn't even get down
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the street to get to the podcast festival. I thought
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I was running at the festival. It felt like a festival.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: To the live podcast taping, I thought I was running late.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I thought the car to walk down the block because
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: it was so much traffic because people were getting dropped
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: off for their show. But people showed up just for them.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even about guests and being able to be
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a part of media in the media landscape as it
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: changes and we discover, you know, where the new mediums are,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: where the new personalities are. Who are the people that
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: are going to be leading conversation when it comes to
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: media and divulging stories and storytelling and interviews. Like watching
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: all of that take full shape and turn from what
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: used to be such traditional media to now you know,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the it girls taking center stage and having substance in
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: real conversation and that dominating so inspiring and see, so
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I wanted to start off this episode shouting my girls
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: out and saying thank you for bringing me to be
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a part of your show. But honestly, like I would
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: have went to watch it even if I didn't have,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: you know, that small little participation role. They gave me
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: a participation award basically like because I would have literally
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: came regardless because of what I'm watching them build. I'm inspired.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Congratulations ladies. Now let's get on into the AMA. So
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the fifty second annual AMAS were hosted in Las Vegas.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Queen Latifah was the host and she gave us another
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: rare family day night on the carpet. She pulled up
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: to the carpet with her partner Epity Nichols and their
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: six year old son, Rebel, and with them was Gabriel Union.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Duayne Wade's seven year old daughter Kabayah was with them
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: as well too. Now, the last time that Queen Latifa
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: hosted the Ammids was nineteen ninety five, and there was
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of like nostalgia throwback haul out moments to

  Speaker 2: like you don't say nothing. But I don't know. I mean,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: everybody loves Glorilla, so I wouldn't be surprised if it
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: was Beyonce, like clearing some vocals or something for her,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: even if it's not nothing new and original from Beyonce.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: But to me, I don't know, Kelly Rowland has she's
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: outside and Glow reminds me of like she's the girl
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: for the girls that are outside. I love to have
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a good time. Not that Beyonce, Michelle don't, but Kelly
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Rowland just I don't know, sh it just feels like
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: it would be Kelly Rowland. I don't know if y'all
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: are following me on this feeling, but who do you
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: guys think it would be? I said Kelly, and I
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: posted this to the Brown Girl Grinding Instagram. Make sure
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: you're following us there just to see people like you
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: know where their bets will be. And I've seen a
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: lot of people saying Kelly Rowland. A lot of people
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: because she said DC members. People were like DC so
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: that they were thinking like the comic books or dream
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Chasers talking about meat meals. But if you're Dustin Shouts fan,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Dustiny Shaufin, you know you've heard them say DC before. Like,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know how people love to play, But yeah,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: that was one of the moments that really set out
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: from the amage for me as well too. But honestly,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I think this all nostalgia itself just really felt good
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: to see, Like when I saw Hillary Duff on the carpet,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and I've been seeing her a lot over this last year,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: doing interviews and kind of popping back out and get
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: back in the mix. It just reminded me of such
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: a good time but anxiety stress free time in life
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to see Hillary Duff. And Glorilla actually had the same
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: reaction on the carpet. She was all of us and
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: seeing Hillary Duff or if you got to meet her
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: for the first time growing up watching her on TV
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: and like, you know, listening to her. Glorilla went crazy
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: when she she didn't even get when she got to
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: see Hillary Duff on the carpet. Now, some of the
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: categories that weren't aired Album of the Year, Cardi b
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: was in the category, Olivia Dean was in the category
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Play Accardi Taylor Swift. Also, there's there's a few UH
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: categories that weren't aired. Favorite hip Hop album was not
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: presented during the live broadcast. They consider these like secondary
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: categories UH and genre specific awards, and normally those are
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: handed off camera and during the pre show, which is
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: different than the main television broadcast, which is focused on
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: like the bigger, more mainstream pop awards and performances. Now,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the show was long as hell, so I'm assuming they
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: do that UH for UH time purposes. But it's not
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: just like wrapping R and B before y'all get going.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: It's not just rapping R and B categories that that happens.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: And you also have some country albums and song categories
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: that were not announced as well too, and Favorite the
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Favorite Rock. Watching Queen Latifa just effortlessly float through the
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: American Music Awards as a whole Number one, watching her
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: do anything is just always so effortless. She just always
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: seems like she's floating on rare air. But watching her
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: do this, after watching her sit down with Angie Martinez,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I'm just I don't know. I just always I hope
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: that people that are in it can feel the love
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: that us people who are watching them be in it
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: have for them. And I hope because Queen Latifa, I'm
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: talking about, you know, me being nervous. At the top
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: of this episode, Queen Latifa told People Magazine that she
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: was like promoting the fact that she would be hosting THEMAS,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: that she was a bit nervous. You know, it's a
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: big night. I'm like, Queen Latifa, nervous. She and then
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: she comes up here and she does it so effortlessly.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: But another thing I thought about is the fact that,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: like you know, she has had such a monumentous career,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: but it's always just been or seemingly so, things that
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: she's actually loved and wanted to be a part of.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: You could tell she actually loved a lot of this
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: music that she was bringing up on this stage and
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of these people. I ain't never heard of
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: a day in my life, but Queen and Tifa knew
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the song she was singing them. But she talked to
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Anji Martinez about how she says no to certain things,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: like she doesn't just chase money. She will literally say no.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: She doesn't care how big the stage is because she
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: understands that the crown that she wears is heavy and yeah,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and she's not afraid. She don't run from that. Let's
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: take a listen to her speaking with Angie Martinez on
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: in real life prior to the.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: AMS smens to the years in the beginning, I would
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: literally just disappear and everybody be looking for me. I
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: have things to do. I would just blow off everything
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: and just bounce and I would call my mother and
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I'm like, ma, I'm up here. I'll go to my
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: brother's grave. Half the time get to coronas you know,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: one for him, one for me. I'm like, ma, I'm fine,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not speaking to anybody. I need a minute. And
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: she would talk to whoever she needed to talk to
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: to let them know back up, give us some space.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: And it really generally just take that day for me
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: to recenter, you know, and then I'll be ready for
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: the world again. I'm ready for the fight all over again.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: But what was it? What are you battling?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Like? What were you?
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Because I appear that I can handle a lot people
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: throw all out at me to handle, and I'm like,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I can't handle all that. There's a limit to how
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: much I can handle. I may appear to be able
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: to carry that load, but that load is heavy. And
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: so when do I get to take a break. And
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: if I say, hey, I need a minute, I need
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: a break. Million dollar production yeah, yeah, which which means
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: nothing to me because I'm not materialistic. It could be
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: one hundred million dollar production, it could be a billion
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: dollar production. Guess what I will bounce.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Really, absolutely, I cannot be moved by money. It's too dangerous,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, that's not enough of
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: a motivation for me. What I noticed is when I
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: did things for a check, I hated it half the time.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: You know, the check clear, the money was good, but
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I really did not enjoy it. It wasn't memorable. My
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: heart wasn't in it. So I felt like I needed
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: to do things that really meant something to me. And
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I mean that's literally from my first couple of jobs on.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And then bust the Rhymes during the AMA's there's this
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: moment where he's called up to present another award, but
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: first he takes a minute to think Queen Latifa, and
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: it kind of all came full circle for me. I'm like, Okay,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: this is that you know, heavy feeling that she may
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: get sometimes even though it looks so effortless to us
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: because a lot of people, you know, she's carrying a
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: lot of us literally on her shoulders. Let's take a
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: listen to Busta Rhymes. Give Queen of Tea for her
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: flowers during the AMAS.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: First and foremost, I just want to thank Queen Latifa,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: not just for tonight, but for being a nurturer and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: a mother to a lot of us artists that came
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: after her.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: To be honest, y'all, there was a lot of us
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: there and When I say a lot of us, I mean,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: of course the hip hop girlies, the rap kids, R
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: and B singers, the black folks. We were there. But
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I think even in the acts that you didn't know
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: for sure or like and because a lot of these
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: people you'll hear their names like BTS, dug anything, you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: the K pop, I'm always hearing the names of these acts,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: but I'm not listening to. These are not people I
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: just put on my playlist and listen to all the time. Right,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: But even in watching some of those acts come up
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: and be presented with awards, Honestly, Queen Latifah carried the
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: show so well. I didn't even care that a lot
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: of these people I don't actually listen to on my
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: day to day, Like, I did not care. I was
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: so tuned in to see what she would do next,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: like even and I know that this was on script
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: because you know it's a bigger word show, but there
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: was a moment where like she literally took a minute
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: just to give Ludacris some love, And I'm like, but
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: that's because she'd be out here really for us.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: This is why I love the AMAS, because look who
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: I just spotted in the room, Ludo.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: It's my runner right there.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: You see how I just start yelling whenever he's around.
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: I can't even help it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: I just have to stand up. When I move, you
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: move just like when.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I move, you move just like that. When I.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: Just like that, Latifa, bring that bag.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Luda, not anthumbs.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: All right, I got We got to give out some
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: more roll on, some more awards. Roll out, roll out,
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: roll out.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: So shout out to her. Queen Lytif did an amazing
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: job hosting the AMAS, and yeah, man, I'm I'm always
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: in awe of the greats and preparing myself to be
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: able to grow into these bigger spaces and bigger stages.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: So if you have not learned anything at all this episode,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: it's that, you know, as things expand and they grow.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think the nerves ever go away, not even
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: for the greats, like Queen Latifa was nervous tonight during
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the AMAS. But I think that the nerve just means
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: that you really care and that you want to be prepared,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and sometimes it's hard to lean into that and just
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: take a moment and feel it. Let me know if
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: you guys tuned into the AMAS, who were some of
• 27:56
