- 2:18Speaker 4: the Dominicans that someone has a great I'm not gonna
- 2:23Speaker 4: say she's the great that the top twenty greatest.
- 2:26Speaker 7: Of all time.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Monica has a great voice. But I ain't gonna put
- 2:29Speaker 1: other time.
- 2:30Speaker 3: I'm gonna cole on here, sorry, anywhere there's some gospel.
- 2:36Speaker 3: I guess gars gospel wouldn't be part of the R
- 2:38Speaker 3: and B s, but they got.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Martha Reeves on it. Yeah, when somebody wanted to make
- 2:42Speaker 1: some money. And if that gospel a loon start singing
- 2:43Speaker 1: R and B. I bet you that there you go,
- 2:45Speaker 1: remember everything? Well, you know I'm saying, but you know what,
- 2:48Speaker 1: I'm going to motown the church.
- 2:50Speaker 3: You remember Shirley Murdoch.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Of course, of course could go on.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Of course, So there's the list twenty greatest rmb C
- 2:59Speaker 1: females or ever. And you said Marsha and Brosow. I
- 3:02Speaker 1: think she has a beautiful voice, but you said Rochelle Farel.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Wow.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, crazy as a Bessie bug, but wow, saying
- 3:13Speaker 1: you can sing, it'd be crazy. But you must.
- 3:16Speaker 5: Apparently got a range.
- 3:21Speaker 1: But yeah, right you her voice had arrange the one
- 3:25Speaker 1: she broke off of. Yeah, you know you're Edna James.
- 3:30Speaker 1: What a great singer, great great great Greg Grayson, Yes, so,
- 3:34Speaker 1: but you know it's it's this is all subjective, but
- 3:36Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the phone.
- 3:37Speaker 9: What do you think, Hey, let me tell you something.
- 3:40Speaker 9: If you don't have many Rippertoons on that list, because
- 3:43Speaker 9: before there was a Mariah Carey, there was a mini Rippleton.
- 3:46Speaker 9: Many Rippletons can hold notes longing than anybody that I
- 3:50Speaker 9: ever heard. If you don't have many Rippletons, if you
- 3:54Speaker 9: don't have philis, heyman, then you have missed your mark.
- 3:58Speaker 10: Okay, that's a that's a pretty good list. But like
- 4:01Speaker 10: y'all saying some of them more that could be interchangeable. Uh,
- 4:05Speaker 10: they must be basing it off commercial success because you
- 4:08Speaker 10: don't have many Rippleton on that list. So a list
- 4:11Speaker 10: without men and rippleton when you talk about vocalists, that's
- 4:14Speaker 10: not really a list. But it's a lot of great,
- 4:16Speaker 10: great entertainers as well as great singers on that list.
- 4:19Speaker 10: But a list that's missing many Rippleton, Yeah, Nah, to me, that's.
- 4:24Speaker 11: This should have people like Stephany mill Orlita Adam, Lisa Pischer,
- 4:28Speaker 11: Angelo Wimbush and all the group girls at Brownstone and
- 4:33Speaker 11: even Fantasia, because to me, a vocalist is somebody they
- 4:37Speaker 11: can get on that stage. I don't care if it's
- 4:39Speaker 11: just a sweatsuit, if the music go out.
- 4:41Speaker 5: Just should be able to give me.
- 4:42Speaker 11: Killed and they can bring got mean ted thehouse down.
- 4:46Speaker 11: That to me is where I feel vocalists should be.
- 4:48Speaker 11: So yeah, I don't agree with a lot of some
- 4:51Speaker 11: of them need to be off. They good, but they
- 4:53Speaker 11: don't need to be that far on that list. Compared
- 4:56Speaker 11: to other type of women.
- 4:57Speaker 7: Well, there's a lot of them, But right now, I
- 5:01Speaker 7: would say, right now, Jennifer Hudson is the most powerful one,
- 5:04Speaker 7: one of the most powerful ones out there. And if
- 5:07Speaker 7: you think about it, if somebody leaves here, Jennifer Huffie
- 5:10Speaker 7: won't be on there Saging Day song because she got
- 5:12Speaker 7: that kind of voice.
- 5:14Speaker 12: I think that list is ridiculous. I don't know who
- 5:17Speaker 12: was making that list or what kind of ears they
- 5:19Speaker 12: were using to listen to that list. It sounds like
- 5:21Speaker 12: it was a popularity contest to me, because if people
- 5:24Speaker 12: like you know was mentioned, Angela Winbush was not there,
- 5:27Speaker 12: Denise Williams is not there. Jennifer Hudson, Jay Hutt, I
- 5:31Speaker 12: mean did you hear her at the Reverend Jeff Jackson's services?
- 5:36Speaker 12: I mean she killed it.
- 5:37Speaker 2: If you put.
- 5:37Speaker 12: Her and you put Beyonce and Rihanna, they couldn't hold
- 5:41Speaker 12: a candle to her. So I think that it needs
- 5:44Speaker 12: to be reordered number one and number two. Some of
- 5:46Speaker 12: those people just need to come off, and some more
- 5:49Speaker 12: seasoned ears need to create that list.
- 5:52Speaker 5: What''all gonna do with Donna Summers? She got a great
- 5:55Speaker 5: vocal range. There's great people they night, but Donna Summers
- 5:58Speaker 5: can saying pop or be soul rock and gospel.
- 6:04Speaker 8: I missed most of it, but I heard tale end
- 6:07Speaker 8: that Tina Marie was not included in the list, And
- 6:10Speaker 8: I just have to say this. Back in the day,
- 6:14Speaker 8: the biggest argument in the hood was was Tina Marie
- 6:18Speaker 8: black or white? Because none of us could believe that
- 6:23Speaker 8: she could be that good and not be assistant.
- 6:27Speaker 9: So whomever composed that list is returned.
- 6:30Speaker 11: Tina Marie was a huge influence on the culture.
- 6:35Speaker 8: Tina Marie sang her absolute lily white behind off.
- 6:41Speaker 5: She still is moving people from the grave.
- 6:45Speaker 7: That was crazy that list.
- 6:53Speaker 1: That boy Tray is here to let us know what
- 6:55Speaker 1: life is like. I ad an apcu with My Life on.
- 6:57Speaker 4: The Yard.
- 7:04Speaker 3: On my spec.
- 7:17Speaker 2: What's good, y'all? This is that boy Tray back? Get
- 7:19Speaker 2: one another episode of My Life on the Yard's I
- 7:21Speaker 2: look at HBCU life. Man, as this may date keeps
- 7:26Speaker 2: creeping up on me. We have been doing more and
- 7:28Speaker 2: more stuff in lead up to graduation than have kind
- 7:31Speaker 2: of been like writes of passage for graduating seniors, and dude,
- 7:36Speaker 2: it's been kind of surreal. Like this last weekend I
- 7:40Speaker 2: had my senior graduating portraits. I had to dress up
- 7:45Speaker 2: in my cap and gown and flick up and dude,
- 7:49Speaker 2: that was like low key emotional for your boy, Like,
- 7:52Speaker 2: this has been a long ride and we're not done yet.
- 7:55Speaker 2: We still have a whole half of a semester to go.
- 7:58Speaker 2: I still got exams, essays, assignments, and still got to
- 8:02Speaker 2: show up to class on time. But we're almost at
- 8:05Speaker 2: the finish line. And that feeling like yeah, I still
- 8:08Speaker 2: got to keep my foot on the gas, but we're
- 8:10Speaker 2: almost done is still kind of like crazy. I'm excited,
- 8:16Speaker 2: Like I feel no stress. I know a lot of
- 8:18Speaker 2: people in lead up to this stuff like graduation, they
- 8:21Speaker 2: feel a lot of stress. But the way stuff has
- 8:23Speaker 2: been shaking out, in the way I feel about myself
- 8:26Speaker 2: and about my preparation and about how much I've grown
- 8:29Speaker 2: as a person. Man, I'm ready to take on the world. Bro,
- 8:33Speaker 2: I'm ready to get out to that real world, real deal.
- 8:35Speaker 6: Holy feel, no.
- 8:36Speaker 2: More training wheels kind of stuff. You feel me like
- 8:40Speaker 2: Pop's then let go with bike. Now it's time for
- 8:42Speaker 2: me to peddle. That's the kind of vibes on morn.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I'm ready to take on the world. But yeah, no,
- 8:47Speaker 2: we still have a whole semester left, and I'm gonna
- 8:50Speaker 2: enjoy being a college student for as long as I can,
- 8:54Speaker 2: because that's the craziest part about this transition. For most
- 8:58Speaker 2: of my life at this point, with me being such
- 9:01Speaker 2: a young person, a key defining aspect of my being
- 9:05Speaker 2: has been being a student, being in school, all that
- 9:10Speaker 2: kind of stuff in the dynamics surrounding that. But now
- 9:13Speaker 2: after I graduate, after I walk that stage, get that degree,
- 9:17Speaker 2: i am no longer a student. Like, yeah, I'm gonna
- 9:20Speaker 2: be learning new stuff every day. The learning doesn't stop.
- 9:23Speaker 2: But as far as me having to go to school
- 9:24Speaker 2: and allocate so much time and energy into being on
- 9:27Speaker 2: time and turning in assignments, I'm gonna get to put
- 9:29Speaker 2: that into other places and I'm really excited for that. Anyways,
- 9:34Speaker 2: That's all I got for you all today till next time.
- 9:37Speaker 2: This has been that boy Tray. This has been my
- 9:39Speaker 2: life on the yards. I look at HBC life
