  Speaker 1: And y'all know we always check in behind the scenes
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of the Grind when we kick it off, so let's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: do it checking it in behind the scenes of the Grind.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: How am I feeling today? Really checking in with myself?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel content sounds like such a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: bad word because content sounds like.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Not stuffy. I think stuffy is the wrong word to
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: describe content.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Content sounds like there's no like passion or like motivation
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: or like you know, like that inspiration to get up
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and go this week. It just sounds like a little blah.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So it's not content. But I'm feeling good. I have
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: no complaints. Finally got a little bit of rest over
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: these last couple of days. I was late to work
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the other day, so I got a lot of rest,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and I guess I'm filling back into the things today,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: though admittingly, waking up this morning, I just felt a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: bit disconnected, like for some reason, my body still thinks
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that I'm on vacation because we took a break from
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: some of the other shows that I do outside of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the podcast to Breakfast Club, you guys know, and then
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the jay Z weekend hit, and that felt like I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: was at like a music festival. So my body is
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: very confused, Like it's like, girl, are we getting up
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: every morning and going to work or are we sleeping in,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: getting up, going to have a drink, going to party somewhere,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: getting in at four am, and doing it all over
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: again the next day.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So once I get through that, I'll be good. But
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the problem with that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Is is this weekend, I'm heading home to celebrate some
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: really personal things with family. I'll talk to you guys
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: more about it at the top of next week. I'll
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: be able to get into it. But y'all know, family
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: always brings me like joy, but it also always brings
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the drink.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So we're back outside of him this week, y'all.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Now speaking of being outside, as we transition on into
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the latest We've been talking a lot about jay Z's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: weekend here in New York, all the three shows that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he did at Yankee Stadium. We had Memphis Bleak on
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club this week Literally the day after jay
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Z's final show at Yankee Stadium, Memphis Bleak came out
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: on stage with jay Z on Friday. Let's take a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: listen to Memphis Bleak and jay Z on Friday at
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the jay Z Reasonable Dout.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So following this and following the weekend, he pulls about
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club and we talk about a ton of things.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: But of course we got to get some inside of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: information right because there it was rumor, like people really thought,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: because you know, Foxy Brown's brother had posted some things
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: on Twitter, Foxy Brown had cleared her Instagram and she was.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Only following jay Z.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: We thought that Foxy Brown was going to come out
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: at those shows this weekend. I didn't even see her.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Like it was to the point where there was one
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: point where we were in the suite. I stood up
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: because Envy was like, Yo, this gotta be Foxy coming out.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And then nobody came out but jay Z.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So we were trying to figure out what she actually
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: there because it was rumored that she was supposed to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: be there.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Let's take let'sen to Memphis, spak Yo.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I heard through the Grayvine. I don't know how true
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: it is. It's just what I heard. They said fox
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: was dead, and.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I wanted to see her, Like even if I just
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: walked past her, I just wanted to see her in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: real life too.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I ain't seen nobody. I've seen Gaff had the word up,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: shout out Gaff. But they said she was there.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: They kept.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: That's what I heard. I don't know how true it is,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: but you know, rumor has it what it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Is about, you know, Foxy Brown, and like my obsession
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: with her still to this day, Like I know why
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: my obsession started, like brown skin, beautiful, you know, talk
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: her ish. I've always loved female rap girls because I've
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: always looked at them like these are the girls that
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: are like they got the power, they know how to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: talk slick, the boys respect them, they got money. You know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it's the fashion they fly, they set in the trends.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: But with Foxy Brown, for me, I think it goes
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: deeper than that because I, oh my like her, little
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: kim like looking at them, Calise seeing Brown skin girls
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: just like run it up and be like like Little
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Kim was literally a fashion icon.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Foxy Brown.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Literally, we still referenced Foxy Brown's looks, her hairstyles, her
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: liner with the lipgloss and the dark lipstick when I'm
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: putting a lot of myself together when I'm going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: these places. So as I'm waiting for her to come
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: out this weekend, two times, y'all got excited and it
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: didn't happen. I thought Sunday we were in line to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: get in when all the craziness was happening, and my
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: boyfriend thought he heard somebody say, yo, Foxy Brown on
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: her way up. When I tell y'all got so excited,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: like I was like almost shaken, didn't happen. I really
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: wonder she has not responded to this officially yet to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Memphis Bleak stating that she.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Was actually there. He heard that she was actually there.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I really wonder if this is true, and if so,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like I wish at least if this is true, I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: wish at least someone would have said to her, even
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: if you don't want to get on stage and perform,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: because it has.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Been so long since we have seen.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: That, if that would have happened, it would have shut down,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Like jay Z already shut the world down, like it
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: was already pit stop, everybody talking about ja Z, everybody's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: at the concerts, everybody's watching the concerts through social media.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: But Foxy Brown coming on stage, Kanye West popat Don
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: on stage.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: There are certain moments that if.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: People had been able to see that in real time, oh,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: we would have shut things down on a whole other level.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I wish she had just even came out and said hello,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: or allowed jay Z to even say that she was
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: in the building, if she really was, like honestly, just
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: for the fans and just for like that era of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: like like it girls, and honestly, like even thinking about
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the world the word it girl, the first people I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: think of her like a little Kim and a Foxy Brown,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Like they originated so much vibe that like we still
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: subscribe to today. I just wanted her to like come
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in person and feel that love, like Foxy Brown stays
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: out the way. There's always been a conversation about you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: her having like a medical condition where she's not able
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to hear the same way, and just just certain things
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that she's always stayed away from since taking a step
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: back from being on stage, performing, rapping, putting out music.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But I really think sometimes artists of a certain cloth
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and artists of a certain time period in real time today,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they need to feel the love, like they need to know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: like even if she never drops music again, there's a
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: lot of us out here, like chanting the lyrics from
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Ain't no n word, I was gonna say the actual word,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: wud y'all. I'll be trying not to really lack cuss
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: on here, and that's not a cussword, but you just
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: didn't whatever.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: But I think she needed to feel it. I think
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: if she would have felt that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: There was a post that her brother put up on
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: x saying that he had had a conversation with her.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I think it was her brother with somebody that this
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: was before the concerts even kicked out that weekend, that
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: they had had a conversation with Foxy Brown. It was
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a long conversation. They said that she was in a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: great mental space. They said that she was super proud
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of JZ and everything that he was about to do
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in New York, and that she was potentially talking about
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: doing music, like there's there's going to be some new
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: music if she had felt that love in that stadium,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I think we would have for sure gotten that music.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not even tripping off the music. I just want
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to see her in person.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's all all right, y'all. So speaking of.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Getting love, getting flowers, paving away, creating things, creating vibes, energy,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: iconic looks, and all of the things, Time one hundred
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: drop their creators lists, so they have revered black Boy
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Max is here. They also have an Entertainment and Performance
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: creators a list that includes a Landria and let me
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: tell y'all something about miss Alandrier girl. Okay, Love Island,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: her departure from Love Island and everything that has come
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: after for her has been she is literally one to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: study like, I look at her another dark skin, brown skin.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: However, y'all label the chocolate girls.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I look at her and I'm like, yo, she is
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: out here, like when I say, killing it. Whatever team
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: she put in place once she decided that she was
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: going to continue to stay in an entertainment space. Following
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: at reality show, God blessed her that team. God blessed
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: her like the strategy and the things that they are
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: maneuvering like, so I was running around last fashion Week
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and I ran into her a lot.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: She was like the girl.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Her and Shelley have become like the girls from that show,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: especially like, you know for black women who were looking
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: at you know, black women on this reality show that
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: is dating and you know all of the things. But
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: fashion and beauty have literally taken those girls in and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: have not let them go. Alandria did a spread with MAC.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: There was a campaign that she did with MAC. And
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: when I I mean she had done a ton of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: stuff leading up to that, right, like photo shoots and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: just they're just positioning.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Her the right way.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: But when I saw the photo shoot that she did
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: with MAC, I was like, the brand strategy is eating
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: right now. Like there are celebrities who don't understand how
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to maneuver their last greatest whatever, greatest hit, greatest song.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Greatest design, Like you're only as good as your last thing.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of bigger celebrities than Alandria who
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: don't know how to navigate once they get that big thing,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that partnership with the MAC. Not only has she been
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: putting herself in a space where she can become a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: brand darling, which is important for her, She's an influencer.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: But to me, I think the story like watching her
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: maneuver and figure out these things has also become a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: big conversation around her HBCU grad. I learned that at
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Essence Festival she was spoken. She was supposed to speak
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: on the HBCU panel that we aired here on the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Latest with Lauren Rosa. You could check out that episode
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: previous to this one, or we put this up prior
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to this on so CO in search and you'll see it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like she does things in the HBCU space,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: but seeing people be able, so she black people be
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: able to navigate the mainstream media world. And I don't
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: mean mainstream media like being a journalist or like you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: news and headlines. I mean like pop culture. Like being
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: able to navigate pop culture for us is never difficult
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: because we literally like we create the vibes, but being
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: able to monetize it in a way that is luke
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that you were able to live very well off of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and that you're not exploiting yourself or doing things that
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: don't elevate the conversation around you. For some reason, we
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: when it comes to like our team and our business,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it doesn't always end up the best way, Like, oh
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: my god. We talked a lot about Tiana Taylor this week,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and especially because Essence Festival and her and the Auntie
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: is curating within the festival al and with the Essence team,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and Tianna Taylor is one of those people who I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: feel like has always been very hands on about her career,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: her brand and all the things right talking about creators
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and even she has been very vocal about how she
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: had to fight fight fight fight fight, Uh for people
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to like open the door and like allow her to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: be what she's being so to see Landria, you know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: figuring that out very early on in the way that
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: she is doing.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I am so proud of her.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: We almost interviewed her at the BET Awards when I
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: was doing the pre show carpet with Roxy J simply
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: in Bow Wow, but we ran out of time. But
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: even then I was literally like the couple moments we
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: had together, I think it was about like five or
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: ten minutes before they pulled her off of the carpet
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and took her into the show.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I was just telling her, like, Yo, watching you navigate is.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Like like Yo, I'm looking at you, like Okay, here's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: how we should be moving. Here's how we should be
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: showing up, because one thing leads to the other. Seeing
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: her that polish and manipulate and maneuver branding and all
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that stuff the way she has been doing it, Like
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I really want to see like where all this lands,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Like what is her totem poll of goals? Where when
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: she gets there, it's like, Okay, here's the space we're
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: going to see her in forever. Also on this list,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: drew Ski speaking of creators who hosted the BT Awards,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Alandria was a part. They had like a little skit
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that they did together where you know, when he was
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: pretending to be the pastor and she was at the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: fust seat. But Drewski's been on every top creator list
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of every whatever for the last year or two. He's
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: having a hell of a year. Mark Phillips as well,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: there's a sports there's a sports category. There's a sports
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: category here. I don't even got chefs, home cooks and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: food creators. Wow that's different. Yeah, I mean, shout out
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to everybody that made the list, Shout out to everybody
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: that hasn't made the list yet. Aka me, I want
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to be on the time Top one hundred creators list,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I do. I think even though people yell and scream
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that stuff like that doesn't matter for me. I think
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it always feels good when people recognize the work that
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you're putting in. Because people look at creators, whether they
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: create online, whether it's in a kitchen, whether it's you know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: on the radio, and I think people love to say
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: it doesn't take talent to do that, or it's easy
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to do that, or you know, even with like a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: person like drewski, like you can't argue that doesn't take
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: talent to do what he does right, But there are
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: people that will argue, you know, that that could so
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: easily be duplicated, and people can try, people are trying.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: There's people doing everything that we just talked about with
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: these creators. But what guys for yous for you and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: when people recognize what God has had for you and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: how He is bestoted upon you and how you are,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you know, being a good steward of that and best
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: feeling ever, best freaking feeling ever. So congratulations to everybody.
