11
00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:42.239
Welcome back to the Blackest Show About Nothing. I am XD.
12
00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:45.980
I don't have my head, my... No, yeah.
13
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.760
Yes, you are. You are enough. I am Jade, and
14
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:55.920
I am nowhere near anybody's Barbie. Hello, welcome.
15
00:01:56.780 --> 00:02:00.689
I was cleaning out my closet. I was in Spy
16
00:02:00.750 --> 00:02:05.609
Red yesterday. Jimenica was over, and she was telling me
17
00:02:05.689 --> 00:02:10.849
about she no longer donates clothes to Goodwill and Salvation Army,
18
00:02:10.909 --> 00:02:14.389
those things, because we know how problematic those organizations are.
19
00:02:14.930 --> 00:02:18.740
But there was, like, a sex workers, like, clothing exchange. Oh,
20
00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:20.979
I love that. And I was like, oh, I love that.
21
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.139
So I started, I was like, well, girl, let me
22
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:25.919
clean out some of this shit, you know, that I
23
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.599
got in my house. And so then I came across
24
00:02:28.620 --> 00:02:30.099
this hat. And I was like, I don't know if
25
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.939
this will spook the trade, so I'll keep it for me. But,
26
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:39.669
you know, otherwise, there's other shit at the back.
27
00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:42.099
I love that, actually. I.
28
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.400
So, you know, I donate to a church.
29
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:46.300
I don't know.
30
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.120
And I feel like they primarily try to help women
31
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.729
who need clothes that are going into the workforce and,
32
00:02:57.349 --> 00:02:59.849
you know, single mothers and shit like that. So I
33
00:02:59.889 --> 00:03:03.169
send it to them and they pick up. But if
34
00:03:03.210 --> 00:03:06.449
there are any other organizations where you are in need
35
00:03:06.530 --> 00:03:09.650
of women's clothing, you know what I'm saying? I got
36
00:03:09.669 --> 00:03:11.310
some cute shit in here. I just don't want it
37
00:03:11.349 --> 00:03:14.659
no more. So just let me know. I'm happy to donate.
38
00:03:16.060 --> 00:03:19.580
That's tea. How was your week and things?
39
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:20.979
Oh, God.
40
00:03:21.020 --> 00:03:24.090
We're like swiftly blowing into fall.
41
00:03:26.210 --> 00:03:26.710
Yeah.
42
00:03:27.009 --> 00:03:28.629
Oh, as we record, it is.
43
00:03:29.469 --> 00:03:30.849
Today is the first day of fall.
44
00:03:30.870 --> 00:03:32.949
The first day of fall.
45
00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:35.629
And it kicked in the door waving the 4-4. Let
46
00:03:35.650 --> 00:03:37.870
me tell you, it is a little... It was brisk
47
00:03:37.889 --> 00:03:40.900
this morning. I was like, ooh. I was hugging myself
48
00:03:40.939 --> 00:03:44.460
like a white woman. Yeah. I did. I told Noah.
49
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:45.979
I was like, make sure you grab a hoodie. I
50
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.930
was like, we're in grab a hoodie period?
51
00:03:50.590 --> 00:03:50.710
Mm-hmm.
52
00:03:51.069 --> 00:03:53.810
I mean, just get to where you're going and get
53
00:03:53.830 --> 00:03:56.509
there quickly and safely.
54
00:03:57.849 --> 00:03:58.270
All right.
55
00:03:59.310 --> 00:04:07.889
Oh, my God. I watched him recently. He was in...
56
00:04:07.789 --> 00:04:11.460
I can't call that. I'm not trying to call that
57
00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:12.340
lady that, but I keep.
58
00:04:13.979 --> 00:04:15.719
Not diarrhea.
59
00:04:16.899 --> 00:04:21.579
Diarrhea. Diarrhea from Detroit. Yes. Yes.
60
00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:25.050
Yes, I was watching that. And when he popped up
61
00:04:25.149 --> 00:04:29.870
on my screen, I was pleasantly surprised. Can I just say,
62
00:04:29.889 --> 00:04:32.069
you asked me what I did with my week.
63
00:04:32.250 --> 00:04:38.290
I did watch that while I did other things. You know,
64
00:04:38.389 --> 00:04:42.680
I like Elspeth. You know, Ellsworth is a fun light show.
65
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.779
You know, I'm ready for fall television to come back. And,
66
00:04:46.939 --> 00:04:50.930
you know, it's one of my just like pleasant watches. And,
67
00:04:51.550 --> 00:04:54.509
you know, I love black shit and I'm always rewatching
68
00:04:54.569 --> 00:04:57.449
our black shows. You know, I find another one to
69
00:04:57.490 --> 00:05:00.610
recycle every, you know, every time I finish another one,
70
00:05:00.649 --> 00:05:04.269
I have another one for the background, you know, justice
71
00:05:04.310 --> 00:05:06.970
for half and half, by the way, Rachel true.
72
00:05:07.069 --> 00:05:08.850
I love her, but she's a terrible actress.
73
00:05:09.149 --> 00:05:15.980
How some ever, Those mothers, they deserve more.
74
00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:18.079
They deserved a better ending than what they got.
75
00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:24.310
It was Valerie Pitford and Thelma Jenkins. I think that's
76
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:24.610
her name.
77
00:05:25.850 --> 00:05:27.509
First of all, Thelma was.
78
00:05:27.569 --> 00:05:32.509
Hopkins or Jameis? Thelma Hopkins. Hopkins. Thank you. Hopkins. She
79
00:05:32.550 --> 00:05:35.209
got a podcast with Laura.
80
00:05:35.490 --> 00:05:37.870
With Kelly. With Kelly Winslow.
81
00:05:37.970 --> 00:05:41.040
Yeah, Laura Winslow. I don't know her real name. I
82
00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:41.649
just know that Kelly.
83
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.939
Kelly Shanghai is what I used to call her when
84
00:05:43.980 --> 00:05:50.579
Family Matters would go on. I'll be like, it's Kelly Shanghai.
85
00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:54.379
Go look at the spell of the day. That's what
86
00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:55.060
it looked like to me.
87
00:05:55.100 --> 00:05:59.110
No, I know. I know. It's like, it's weird.
88
00:05:59.670 --> 00:06:04.189
Anyway, back to my point. So, you know, I'll be
89
00:06:04.209 --> 00:06:06.110
watching the old shows. I'll be watching Elizabeth.
90
00:06:06.129 --> 00:06:08.230
You know, I'll be putting on my little programs and stuff.
91
00:06:09.589 --> 00:06:10.230
Diarrhea.
92
00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:15.350
Cheyenne. Diarra. Both of y'all.
93
00:06:15.449 --> 00:06:17.829
What do y'all need? What do y'all need?
94
00:06:17.850 --> 00:06:24.060
I'm only keeping this in because I was reminded of
95
00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:29.579
almost 10 years ago when Nicki Minaj had Queen Radio
96
00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:35.680
and she decided to have Normani on and Normani was
97
00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:38.490
the up-and-coming artist at the time. She still is, but whatever.
98
00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:44.920
And that's no shade. It is, but whatever. But Instead
99
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.680
of singing her new song, she danced on the radio.
100
00:06:49.899 --> 00:06:52.279
So you hear sneakers and.
101
00:06:52.699 --> 00:06:54.980
Oh, is that where that sound effect came from?
102
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.379
No. Oh, okay. But you see her like... But the
103
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.930
funniest part of the whole thing, outside of like, bitch,
104
00:07:02.990 --> 00:07:06.709
why are you dancing on the radio? Like, nigga. But
105
00:07:07.769 --> 00:07:10.389
the best part about the whole thing was that Tammy
106
00:07:10.470 --> 00:07:13.949
Roman was there to record the whole thing. So, if
107
00:07:13.990 --> 00:07:17.100
you go on YouTube and look, it's Tammy Roman's live
108
00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:21.560
and her story is recording this nonsense and Normani just
109
00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:25.259
boom-kacking on the radio. Why was it Tammy Roman? And
110
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.680
fucking Nicki Minaj is like, ooh, ooh, kill her. And
111
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:34.040
then Madison is there. What is this band of people?
112
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.319
Queen Radio just was a time.
113
00:07:38.339 --> 00:07:40.040
It was an unhinged moment in time.
114
00:07:40.170 --> 00:07:43.639
It was a time. Nicki Minaj is a sport, but
115
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.379
let me tell you, to freedom, Queen Radio was the time.
116
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:53.300
With the thunder. We might have to do a snippets
117
00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:54.399
on Patreon.
118
00:07:55.899 --> 00:07:58.939
Let's be clear, this bitch is unhinged and nuts and
119
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.610
nobody endorses her bullshit. But I wouldn't mind a little
120
00:08:03.629 --> 00:08:05.990
23-minute montage of foolishness.
121
00:08:06.129 --> 00:08:11.310
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nicki Minaj being foolish for 18 minutes
122
00:08:11.350 --> 00:08:14.069
to 17 seconds. That kind of thing.
123
00:08:14.089 --> 00:08:16.800
She don't understand why one of her new nicknames is
124
00:08:16.829 --> 00:08:19.420
about to be Normani, but that's what I'm about to
125
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:25.300
start calling her. Anytime she starts getting on my nerves,
126
00:08:25.339 --> 00:08:26.540
I'm so surprised she knows this song by her.
127
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.160
I'm so surprised. I know that.
128
00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:29.970
That's the only thing I know about her.
129
00:08:38.549 --> 00:08:40.350
That's the only thing we know about her, too.
130
00:08:40.470 --> 00:08:42.220
And I thought it was Normani for her.
131
00:08:44.350 --> 00:08:47.509
I thought so, too. But because of, I used to
132
00:08:47.549 --> 00:08:50.629
watch X-Fact or whatever the show that was on when
133
00:08:50.649 --> 00:08:54.610
there was Fifth Harmony. Because Kelly Rowland put them together. Oh,
134
00:08:54.669 --> 00:08:55.009
she did?
135
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:57.120
You told me.
136
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:58.320
It was Kelly Rowland and Simon, I think.
137
00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:00.440
You told me Normandy came from a girl group. And
138
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.990
then you showed me some in the desert gas pump.
139
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.990
I never showed you that. Some other homosexuals showed you that.
140
00:09:07.049 --> 00:09:08.850
Was that the ones who did the gas pump? They
141
00:09:08.870 --> 00:09:11.169
did the gas pump at the gas pump in the
142
00:09:11.210 --> 00:09:14.429
Western with the flannel? Okay.
143
00:09:15.070 --> 00:09:19.289
Yeah. Yes. That was the work video. Okay.
144
00:09:19.350 --> 00:09:20.330
Yeah. No, you made me.
145
00:09:20.350 --> 00:09:21.049
You did that.
146
00:09:21.309 --> 00:09:23.409
No, you did that. You did that.
147
00:09:23.710 --> 00:09:29.490
I promise. I don't know why. Because I hate them hoes.
148
00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:32.870
So I don't know why. But you still introduced me
149
00:09:32.950 --> 00:09:34.070
to what it was.
150
00:09:34.129 --> 00:09:36.970
Like who they, like what was. It had to be
151
00:09:36.990 --> 00:09:37.730
Dustin or Asante.
152
00:09:37.769 --> 00:09:56.100
No, Dustin introduces me to much more. deeply unhinged content.
153
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.169
Yeah he has found new problematic content which i was
154
00:09:59.210 --> 00:10:02.480
like oh this is rougish, even for me. And I
155
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.080
watch no matter, you know what I mean?
156
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.509
What's the new content? Is this public?
157
00:10:11.830 --> 00:10:15.190
He'll explain. I mean, he said it on the wind down.
158
00:10:15.950 --> 00:10:17.009
Okay, yeah, so it's public.
159
00:10:17.409 --> 00:10:22.570
It's of the baddies variety. It's on Zeus, I believe.
160
00:10:22.690 --> 00:10:25.350
When it comes to people, when they talk about Zeus, it's.
161
00:10:27.529 --> 00:10:27.799
Like.
162
00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:38.850
Right. Free Palestine. Because I can't. Zeus is....
163
00:10:36.340 --> 00:10:39.539
To your point earlier about watching black stuff, and yes,
164
00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:45.049
Diara from Detroit, go watch it. Go support. Yes. What
165
00:10:45.070 --> 00:10:49.379
I was going to say was that TV works very
166
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.279
different now in this idea of like, you know, we
167
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.299
consume television differently. Like we're not live tweeting and stuff
168
00:10:56.340 --> 00:11:00.649
like that. So metrics is very difficult to do. Oh, uh-huh.
169
00:11:00.669 --> 00:11:01.850
Like as we once did.
170
00:11:01.870 --> 00:11:05.480
Uh-huh. Oh, yeah.
171
00:11:05.549 --> 00:11:09.190
I'll tell you all. I'll tell you off camera about
172
00:11:09.250 --> 00:11:12.129
some stuff with that show. But I will say that
173
00:11:12.950 --> 00:11:16.350
please do what you can to talk about it publicly.
174
00:11:17.289 --> 00:11:20.190
It's a really great show. It's a comedy mystery.
175
00:11:20.730 --> 00:11:21.750
Yeah.
176
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.200
It's like blacks. If it's like if murders in the
177
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.000
building was set in Detroit.
178
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:30.139
With a little bit of Elizabeth, this is what I'm saying.
179
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.919
Like, you know how you know how like, you know,
180
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.220
we'll talk about hood detectives. Or like, you know, who
181
00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:39.399
made you to, you know what? That's exactly what it
182
00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:42.080
is in the best way. It's like, is it a
183
00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:45.419
story that's necessarily the most realistic? No, but neither is
184
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.700
everything that happens on.
185
00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:48.480
Elspeth or whatever the case is.
186
00:11:49.019 --> 00:11:51.360
So when people, when I saw, I did go look
187
00:11:51.379 --> 00:11:53.600
at some things after I watched the second season and
188
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.799
people were like, oh, well, that's not really, how are
189
00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:58.980
they going to keep doing this? I'm like, how does
190
00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:02.799
Elspeth have a new ridiculous fucking case every week?
191
00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:07.240
Do you know how many times? an airplane has crashed
192
00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:09.980
into that hospital on Grey's Anatomy?
193
00:12:10.820 --> 00:12:12.250
No, because I've never watched that.
194
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:12.710
You know why?
195
00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:13.399
Because how I feel about it.
196
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:21.110
More than once. See? That's way too many times. Talk
197
00:12:21.129 --> 00:12:25.269
to me about it. It's unrealistic. Niggas don't... I know.
198
00:12:25.350 --> 00:12:25.840
I hate it.
199
00:12:25.850 --> 00:12:29.190
I'm like, let us be whimsical and have some shit
200
00:12:29.289 --> 00:12:30.429
and let it just be.
201
00:12:30.970 --> 00:12:37.799
Let it just be. Terry Theory said something very profound
202
00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:40.200
one day. He was like, niggas be so bothered. Yeah,
203
00:12:40.299 --> 00:12:46.090
they do. And I'd be like, how? Yes.
204
00:12:46.110 --> 00:12:46.179
Yes.
205
00:12:46.509 --> 00:12:50.759
And in this context, it's like, This is how I
206
00:12:50.899 --> 00:12:55.299
see how, and I know sometimes people get bogged down.
207
00:12:55.740 --> 00:13:01.809
But I see how slavery and crabs-of-the-barrel mentality be seeping into.
208
00:13:01.370 --> 00:13:06.210
These CTE-esque negroes.
209
00:13:06.409 --> 00:13:09.529
You know, and willfully obtuse niggas.
210
00:13:09.570 --> 00:13:14.129
Yeah. I see why Harriet had a gun.
211
00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:16.539
I see every day.
212
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.820
Oh, girl. Listen, not everybody can be saved. You know
213
00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:21.340
what I mean?
214
00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:25.519
It's like there's so many of them, and they're taking
215
00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:26.779
their time these days.
216
00:13:29.259 --> 00:13:33.139
Mm-hmm. It's warfare on the mind. You know what I'm saying?
217
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:40.110
Mm-hmm. I totally forgot what I was going to say. Yeah, see?
218
00:13:40.809 --> 00:13:42.009
It's noise pollution.
219
00:13:42.389 --> 00:13:42.730
You see?
220
00:13:42.789 --> 00:13:43.389
Exactly.
221
00:13:43.649 --> 00:13:46.690
Which is warfare on the mind and the spirit.
222
00:13:48.230 --> 00:13:48.519
Yeah.
223
00:13:49.210 --> 00:13:53.539
But, um, yeah, go watch D.R. from Detroit on Paramount +.
224
00:13:53.309 --> 00:13:53.830
It's great.
225
00:13:53.970 --> 00:13:57.309
Yeah, it's a good time. So last Friday, you matched
226
00:13:57.350 --> 00:13:59.309
with Chris on Tinder.
227
00:13:59.370 --> 00:14:00.950
Yes. You went on a date.
228
00:14:00.990 --> 00:14:02.769
This one says we're going to have a good time tonight.
229
00:14:03.190 --> 00:14:03.490
Yes.
230
00:14:04.169 --> 00:14:05.269
And you had intercourse.
231
00:14:05.309 --> 00:14:07.830
Which I normally wouldn't have done, except we both agreed
232
00:14:07.870 --> 00:14:11.230
it was like a third date. It's very black. It's
233
00:14:11.269 --> 00:14:13.330
got funny black references in it.
234
00:14:14.250 --> 00:14:15.960
Yes, written and created by a black woman. Yep.
235
00:14:17.029 --> 00:14:19.299
Um, who happens to be the cousin of the mayor
236
00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:19.960
of Detroit.
237
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.639
Really? Mm-hmm. Like the new lady that just got elected? No, no.
238
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.360
So Patrick, I've been previous.
239
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.759
Oh. Oh. Duh. That makes sense.
240
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.509
Yeah.
241
00:14:35.190 --> 00:14:39.370
But also to your point, I have been surprisingly re-watching
242
00:14:39.409 --> 00:14:53.690
a black show as well. Okay. No, it is not Power. Snowfall? No. Oh. No. I, surprisingly,
243
00:14:54.610 --> 00:15:00.210
have been re-watching Martin. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. Yeah.
244
00:15:00.870 --> 00:15:01.789
What season are you on?
245
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:08.259
Two. Okay. I started, like, three days ago. Okay. So,
246
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:13.679
I've been pushing through. Okay. I thought, what are we?
247
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:19.389
This is... I started on Friday. I've gotten a two.
248
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.559
So I also realized how short those episodes are.
249
00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:25.220
Yeah, they'd be like 20 minutes.
250
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:29.970
Yeah, without the commercials. You'd be like, ooh. What I
251
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.429
have found interesting, and I need to watch the reunion
252
00:15:34.450 --> 00:15:38.070
or whatever. I want to know how much of that
253
00:15:38.129 --> 00:15:41.879
was fully written. Because I know they have the ability
254
00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:47.389
to write... like, that on paper and recreate that. But
255
00:15:47.429 --> 00:15:51.610
there are moments... Yes, where you know... Where I'm like, oh,
256
00:15:51.649 --> 00:15:55.149
they just said, this is the prompt, and go.
257
00:15:55.769 --> 00:16:00.789
The CD player episode. Is that season two or three?
258
00:16:01.669 --> 00:16:03.809
With the dog? You haven't gotten to that yet.
259
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:05.000
No.
260
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:05.960
With the.
261
00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:06.940
That was.
262
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.950
I can tell you right now when you get to it,
263
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:10.539
that was improvised.
264
00:16:11.539 --> 00:16:11.720
And.
265
00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:16.149
Like, that ain't no damn puppy... I feel like they
266
00:16:16.190 --> 00:16:17.990
had just a joke in the office.
267
00:16:18.070 --> 00:16:21.750
Absolutely. And they took it all the way. But that's how.
268
00:16:21.850 --> 00:16:22.250
Wait.
269
00:16:22.509 --> 00:16:24.090
When you watch... Hold on.
270
00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:30.100
Hold on. I know that there are slapstick comedy things
271
00:16:30.340 --> 00:16:34.860
where it is fully written. There's a famous episode of
272
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:40.850
Frasier where... It's a Valentine's Day episode, and Niles essentially
273
00:16:41.389 --> 00:16:45.129
sets Frasier's apartment on fire. And you think it's all
274
00:16:45.289 --> 00:16:49.269
improv of how it all goes down. But David Hyde
275
00:16:49.289 --> 00:16:51.429
Pierce was like, no, we just have really great writers.
276
00:16:52.149 --> 00:16:56.120
And I just executed what they told me to do. See? See?
277
00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:58.700
That's great. Okay.
278
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:02.059
Okay, so this is season two, episode 17, Suspicious Minds.
279
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:06.670
I'm nowhere near there. Okay. Just patch to kill, sunflower.
280
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.069
That one. Oh, Shaquille Sunflower. Okay.
281
00:17:10.430 --> 00:17:12.690
First of all, yes, we can have the conversation all
282
00:17:12.730 --> 00:17:15.190
day about the elements of Martin that didn't age well.
283
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:19.000
We've had those conversations.
284
00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:21.660
That's the thing. I am no longer woke. We'll get
285
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.329
to that. I'm so sick of this shit.
286
00:17:26.410 --> 00:17:28.410
We will have a conversation on that one day. I
287
00:17:28.450 --> 00:17:31.859
want to make sure that I cope. I'm woke, but
288
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:34.339
I'm like, I'm like, God damn it.
289
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.240
I'm tired. I want to lay down.
290
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.019
So, but aside from that, the other, and maybe this
291
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:44.619
is us in our, like, maybe this is us in
292
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.230
our millennial age of.
293
00:17:46.230 --> 00:17:50.609
Like, this shit was funny. So it's still funny to us. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
294
00:17:50.690 --> 00:17:54.420
What? When you said when niggas get the old man cadence,
295
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.240
at what point do people just stop giving a fuck?
296
00:17:58.509 --> 00:18:02.289
This is what I'm saying. Oh, yeah, that was on Patreon.
297
00:18:02.329 --> 00:18:05.210
I talked to XD about old man cadence. When does
298
00:18:05.230 --> 00:18:07.329
the black old man cadence set in?
299
00:18:08.190 --> 00:18:13.309
And that doesn't happen until Thanksgiving, by the way. Exactly.
300
00:18:14.009 --> 00:18:15.130
In the future.
301
00:18:15.710 --> 00:18:17.720
Yeah, in the future. We have this conversation.
302
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:20.259
But when you get to that episode, okay?
303
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:26.220
Watch everybody else around Martin because he sets it up
304
00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:28.809
in a very New Jack City way.
305
00:18:28.829 --> 00:18:31.509
And watch everybody.
306
00:18:31.609 --> 00:18:36.029
They cannot contain their laughter while this shit is happening.
307
00:18:36.109 --> 00:18:38.990
And it's very funny. One of my other favorite moments
308
00:18:39.069 --> 00:18:45.299
of Martin is when Hustle Man comes into the barbershop
309
00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:48.400
when Martin loses his wedding ring. When he's trying to
310
00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:50.279
check to see if he's still got it. And Hustle
311
00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:51.539
Man comes into the barbershop.
312
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.640
And he goes, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.
313
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:01.380
Yeah, yeah. The reason why I started watching this was because, A,
314
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.700
I told you about Cleo TV and they just recently
315
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:10.450
played the Negro Classic. And one episode came on where
316
00:19:11.829 --> 00:19:13.089
Gina had a new friend. Okay.
317
00:19:13.369 --> 00:19:13.609
Okay.
318
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.440
And she was mean. And she hated on Pam. And
319
00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:20.289
Martin was like, only I could talk shit about Pam.
320
00:19:20.369 --> 00:19:20.769
See?
321
00:19:20.809 --> 00:19:24.339
Like, she was trying to steal Tommy and shit. And
322
00:19:24.390 --> 00:19:26.720
Pam was like, no, I'm trying to respect Gina. That's
323
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:28.900
her friend. And Martin was like, nah, fuck that. He
324
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.380
was like, we could hate each other later, but now
325
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:35.160
we're going to lie to each other. Exactly. And that
326
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.190
all started with me watching the Varnell Hill show. Did
327
00:19:38.230 --> 00:19:39.450
I talk to you about Varnell Hill?
328
00:19:39.529 --> 00:19:44.529
You did express to me enough for me to understand
329
00:19:44.609 --> 00:19:45.210
how you feel.
330
00:19:46.650 --> 00:19:52.700
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll just end with go watch Dior
331
00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.519
from Detroit.
332
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:59.079
Love this opportunity. I love this opportunity for child. I
333
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:00.759
was about to call this Tommy Davidson.
334
00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:04.549
Black woman. Oh, we're talking about Varnel Hill.
335
00:20:04.630 --> 00:20:06.089
I mean, yes, absolutely.
336
00:20:07.210 --> 00:20:10.690
No, I'm not supporting. It's bad, friend. It's not a
337
00:20:10.690 --> 00:20:14.039
good show. Oh, okay. It's not a good show. And
338
00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:16.700
I get, you know, everybody wants to be like, well,
339
00:20:16.740 --> 00:20:18.720
whites do. I don't give a shit what whites do
340
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.140
in their mediocre comedy and what they greenlight. And it's
341
00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:26.039
not about having, like, oh, well, blacks be having a
342
00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:27.420
chance to. No, okay.
343
00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:29.160
It's just not a good show.
344
00:20:29.180 --> 00:20:33.140
Legacy. Okay. Like, yes, a check, sure. But what is
345
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:33.940
a check.
346
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:35.339
When it comes to your comedic legacy? Is it like that, like,
347
00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:37.789
it just didn't need to happen? Like, it just.
348
00:20:38.069 --> 00:20:40.430
It didn't need to happen. And you know what? I
349
00:20:40.490 --> 00:20:44.890
think it's just paramount, and whoever is running the reboot department,
350
00:20:45.650 --> 00:20:48.849
it just never... I have an idea. It'll curl all
351
00:20:48.890 --> 00:20:52.539
the way over. Copy. I can't even say it's white
352
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:55.799
spreading it because they ruined their shit too. Frasier was
353
00:20:56.099 --> 00:20:57.539
ass on a stick. You hear me?
354
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:00.569
Oh, I know you're very sad. Well, some shit don't
355
00:21:00.609 --> 00:21:01.549
need to come back.
356
00:21:02.130 --> 00:21:04.769
But this is what I mean though. And they had,
357
00:21:05.230 --> 00:21:08.289
what was Tony Danza's show? They're trying to reboot that. Oh,
358
00:21:08.329 --> 00:21:09.009
get him out of here.
359
00:21:09.049 --> 00:21:10.329
He's MAGA.
360
00:21:11.690 --> 00:21:12.150
Oh, he is?
361
00:21:12.269 --> 00:21:13.170
Wait, hold on.
362
00:21:14.190 --> 00:21:16.599
Mario Lopez is. I don't know about Tony Danza. Wait,
363
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.440
is Tony.
364
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.599
Wait, no, because I feel like.
365
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.200
hold me close so Tony.
366
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:24.779
Danza maybe.
367
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:27.119
He ate that.
368
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:33.089
Um okay wait I might have made that up now
369
00:21:33.109 --> 00:21:35.609
he is a Republican um.
370
00:21:37.670 --> 00:21:40.490
But you know but I don't know.
371
00:21:40.369 --> 00:21:44.430
If he's very vocal about it anyway I'm not giving
372
00:21:44.470 --> 00:21:46.710
no white man no motherfucking.
373
00:21:47.390 --> 00:21:50.819
Wait Tony Danza was in Raising Canaan You see how
374
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:54.640
power is a part of everything? It's like wrestling. Tony
375
00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:57.119
Danza was in Power Book 3, Raising Kanan.
376
00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:59.349
So was Mary J. Blige, wasn't she?
377
00:22:00.130 --> 00:22:03.569
Yes, but we knew that. Tony Danza, I did not
378
00:22:03.589 --> 00:22:07.829
know that. I was just bringing it home. How the
379
00:22:07.890 --> 00:22:10.410
fuck did I say Tony Danza and you jumped to
380
00:22:10.430 --> 00:22:12.000
Mary J. fucking Blige?
381
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.819
I was trying to de-center a white man, okay?
382
00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:19.039
Yeah.
383
00:22:19.140 --> 00:22:23.460
Wait a minute.
384
00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:29.349
Super annoying. It's time to pay bills.
385
00:22:29.450 --> 00:22:30.910
Yeah.
386
00:22:30.910 --> 00:22:34.230
30 minutes in.

00:22:34.970 --> 00:22:38.269

391
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:54.519
and spooky season as it's, we're getting ready for spooky season.
392
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:55.740
Boogly boogly. Oh yeah.
393
00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:00.079
I got to start putting this costume together. Ooh. Um,
394
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:02.400
who is she going to be? I don't remember. She
395
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:05.779
said somebody. So I just, I.
396
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.160
Need, she better be irritated. Cause one year she's going
397
00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:11.579
to give me a costume and I'm just going.
398
00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:13.369
To make her. She's going to be like a K-pop.
399
00:23:13.509 --> 00:23:14.069
Oh my gosh.
400
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:16.759
I'm getting a brain wig and everything.
401
00:23:16.779 --> 00:23:19.240
Is it like a K-pop demon hunter? No. Which I
402
00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:22.859
finally saw, by the way. No. I finally watched that film.
403
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:24.329
Seven years later?
404
00:23:25.630 --> 00:23:26.390
I don't have children.
405
00:23:26.410 --> 00:23:28.609
We talked about Jussie Smollett.
406
00:23:28.730 --> 00:23:32.730
Well, I don't have children. And I'm not necessarily in
407
00:23:32.750 --> 00:23:33.450
the K-pop.
408
00:23:33.750 --> 00:23:34.410
That's fair.
409
00:23:34.630 --> 00:23:40.730
And Netflix is a lawless place. Let me ask her again.
410
00:23:40.769 --> 00:23:41.400
Who's she going to be?
411
00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:43.900
But yeah, I watched it. And the reason why I
412
00:23:43.900 --> 00:23:47.539
watched it is because I watched fucking Kelly Clarkson. She
413
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:50.539
did the Golden song on her last episode in the
414
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:54.500
original key, which is high as hell. The main song
415
00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:57.950
from K-Pop Demon Hunters. Ask her to sing it.
416
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.059
Okay, who you said you want to be for Halloween again?
417
00:24:02.619 --> 00:24:03.509
Justine Dancer.
418
00:24:04.529 --> 00:24:07.150
Justine Dancer. You don't want to be Moesha?
419
00:24:07.170 --> 00:24:07.230
No.
420
00:24:09.910 --> 00:24:13.000
No. Why would you put that off?
421
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.839
I'm about to look it up right now. Where's she from?
422
00:24:16.859 --> 00:24:21.549
I don't know.
423
00:24:21.569 --> 00:24:26.329
Y'all just be having shows that I've never heard of. Okay,
424
00:24:26.349 --> 00:24:26.910
she's black.
425
00:24:26.930 --> 00:24:30.529
Yeah.
426
00:24:30.549 --> 00:24:34.519
Okay, first of all, don't be a dick.
427
00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:35.500
Goodbye.
428
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.619
Go leave for dance, bye.
429
00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:41.319
What a.
430
00:24:42.809 --> 00:24:45.089
She wears wedges, this Justine dancer.
431
00:24:46.750 --> 00:24:47.309
I don't know.
432
00:24:47.490 --> 00:24:48.670
I feel like I'm going to have to.
433
00:24:48.769 --> 00:24:52.210
You know how the drag queens do the shoes? I'm
434
00:24:52.250 --> 00:24:54.839
going to have to do the shoes. Because I'm not
435
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:58.660
buying these. So I'm going to have to do something
436
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.200
with them. Okay, so this is like not Princess Tiana.
437
00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:07.650
That's cool. So where is she from? Okay, hold on.
438
00:25:07.670 --> 00:25:09.130
Let's look it up. Wait, are you in the middle
439
00:25:09.170 --> 00:25:09.769
of paying bills?
440
00:25:09.809 --> 00:25:14.980
Finish that. Oh, yeah. You know the vibes.
441
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:21.359
This is why we're grassroots 20 years later.
442
00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:27.359
Yeah, I know. Support us. All that jazz. Link is
443
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:29.099
in the description box for every listing. And we're going
444
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:33.569
to take a break and be back with more spells since...
445
00:25:33.910 --> 00:25:37.720
Last week, we couldn't, well, we didn't want to finish,
446
00:25:37.819 --> 00:25:39.660
but we had to due to time. I know. So
447
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:44.900
we're going to keep the ball rolling with songs that
448
00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:49.039
sound like spells. What in the alliteration? That's crazy.
449
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:50.339
Is it toast?
450
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:55.819
No, I don't smell any toast. More so like, I
451
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.099
don't know. I don't know what's wrong. But hit it, Claude.
452
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:02.960
After these messages, we'll be right back.
453
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.240
Today I'd like to talk about some of the things
454
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:10.359
that I wish that I'd known, and some of the
455
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:13.000
things that I'm glad that I knew when I started out.
456
00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:14.059
In my magic practice.
457
00:26:14.900 --> 00:26:16.960
The first thing I wish I'd known is probably the
458
00:26:17.019 --> 00:26:19.380
most important, and that's why I'm putting it here at
459
00:26:19.420 --> 00:26:21.539
the beginning of the video, so that if it's the
460
00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:24.240
only bit you've got patience to watch, you don't walk
461
00:26:24.289 --> 00:26:25.549
away empty-handed.
462
00:26:26.970 --> 00:26:33.049
And we're back. Uh... What? No?
463
00:26:33.190 --> 00:26:34.990
Okay, so ever after high.
464
00:26:36.190 --> 00:26:40.799
It's a fashion doll franchise. Apparently, it came out July 2013,
465
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:45.799
right after this nigga was born. It's a companion line
466
00:26:45.859 --> 00:26:49.940
to the Monster High dolls, with the characters being based
467
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:53.900
on characters from well-known fairy tales and fantasy stories.
468
00:26:55.630 --> 00:26:56.630
It's by Mattel.
469
00:26:56.730 --> 00:26:59.349
I didn't realize Monster High was by Mattel as well.
470
00:27:01.109 --> 00:27:03.970
It's a boarding school in fairy tale world. I guess
471
00:27:04.009 --> 00:27:07.670
they made a show on Netflix. So she wants to be,
472
00:27:08.470 --> 00:27:13.240
who did she say? What is this heifer's name? She
473
00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:17.980
wants to be a Justine dancer. The 12th dancing princess.
474
00:27:20.380 --> 00:27:23.400
The 12th dancing princess of the 12th dancing princess.
475
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:25.039
What?
476
00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:27.180
12th dancers dancing. Oh. I just got that.
477
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:27.420
Thank you.
478
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:27.519
Okay.
479
00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:27.640
Okay.
480
00:27:35.569 --> 00:27:38.730
She wants to open her own dance studio and direct
481
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.099
shows and music videos. Oh, that's fitting.
482
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:45.339
Uh-huh. Okay.
483
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:50.480
Farrah Goodfairy is the daughter of the fairy godmother from Cinderella.
484
00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:56.990
Michelle Mermaid. Daughter of Ariel.
485
00:27:57.009 --> 00:27:59.490
This is actually a very cute concept.
486
00:27:59.569 --> 00:27:59.789
Right?
487
00:27:59.910 --> 00:28:03.990
It's like... It's like... It sounds like Descendants. Where did
488
00:28:04.009 --> 00:28:09.470
they go... Yeah, but they all go to Riverdale. Yeah, exactly.
489
00:28:10.190 --> 00:28:13.319
It's literally Riverdale High, but Chuck has stopped there. It's
490
00:28:13.390 --> 00:28:16.019
like Fairytale meets Clumitz. Yeah.
491
00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:18.539
Beats Sweet Valley High.
492
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:27.500
Ariel and Jasmine. Perfect day. Nothing's gonna get us down. Oh, sorry.
493
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:31.000
Different parts. Holly O'Hare is the daughter of Rapunzel.
494
00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:34.299
Faye Bell Thorne is the daughter of the dark fairy
495
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:38.150
from Sleeping Beauty. Duchess Swan is the daughter of the
496
00:28:38.190 --> 00:28:39.529
swan from Swan Lake.
497
00:28:39.910 --> 00:28:42.390
Y'all just be picking people, huh? That's so fascinating.
498
00:28:43.210 --> 00:28:47.019
Okay. Characters like Pokemon, I see it. Right? Okay.
499
00:28:47.099 --> 00:28:49.579
I guess this is how my parents felt when we watched,
500
00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:52.160
you know, Goosebumps and all that.
501
00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:54.000
They were like, how many shows you got?
502
00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:58.599
Yeah, yeah. But this is quite wholesome. I'm actually, that's
503
00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:05.029
actually very creative. Like the next generation of... fables and
504
00:29:05.089 --> 00:29:06.589
all their offspring and things.
505
00:29:06.690 --> 00:29:10.130
It's cute. I like that. Alright, I'll help her if
506
00:29:10.150 --> 00:29:11.009
she doesn't grow up.
507
00:29:11.009 --> 00:29:14.970
Speaking of which, we're talking about spells again.
508
00:29:15.190 --> 00:29:15.670
Yes.
509
00:29:18.009 --> 00:29:18.970
Do you want to start?
510
00:29:19.410 --> 00:29:20.329
Perfect Segu.
511
00:29:21.809 --> 00:29:22.690
Yeah, let.
512
00:29:24.829 --> 00:29:26.569
Me... There's a lot of talking in the background.
513
00:29:30.369 --> 00:29:30.910
You know....
514
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:40.349
I told you before that my grandmother told me. that
515
00:29:40.569 --> 00:29:43.200
I'm always sitting on my wallet. You know what I'm saying?
516
00:29:43.940 --> 00:29:50.259
She's like, your pocketbook is.
517
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:53.420
All that you really need in this life. And so
518
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:54.440
that's my magic.
519
00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:56.849
It's my magic that lives below. You know what I'm saying?
520
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:57.529
The love below.
521
00:29:58.539 --> 00:30:02.640
And so my first song for this week on Spells
522
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:08.789
and Magical Playlist is Pocketbook by Jennifer Hudson featuring Ludacris.
523
00:30:09.660 --> 00:30:28.019
Don't make me hit you with my pocketbook. you know,
524
00:30:28.099 --> 00:30:30.059
also a mantra, you know what I'm saying?
525
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:33.079
Yeah.
526
00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:34.200
It's a metaphor for so much.
527
00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:41.230
That album takes me back because this is about to
528
00:30:41.250 --> 00:30:43.829
sound so problematic, but I do not mean it to
529
00:30:43.869 --> 00:30:49.250
be my, you know, after, um, after dream girls, all
530
00:30:49.569 --> 00:30:52.230
the mamas and the aunties were into Jennifer Hudson, right?
531
00:30:52.269 --> 00:30:57.099
That gal can blow. Of course, one day I happened
532
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:00.119
to be home for the holidays, which was rare for
533
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:02.880
me in college, but I was home and she was like,
534
00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:04.960
come with me to the mall. I was like, okay.
535
00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:08.519
So of course we go to regular auntie stores, you know,
536
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:13.799
Chico's and, and Claire's for a little earring situation. We
537
00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:18.170
rolled into Lane Bryant and things, you know, um, And so,
538
00:31:18.230 --> 00:31:20.329
of course, you know, we shop in La Bride. She
539
00:31:20.349 --> 00:31:22.630
gets her some things and shit or whatever. We get
540
00:31:22.650 --> 00:31:27.190
to the checkout register. And my mother loves the impulse purchase.
541
00:31:27.950 --> 00:31:31.890
They had Jennifer Hudson's album, like, right there. And I
542
00:31:31.890 --> 00:31:34.559
was like, well, why would y'all sell this at La Bride?
543
00:31:34.630 --> 00:31:36.019
I felt like that's being big.
544
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:40.799
Like where they put the panties and the lip gloss
545
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:41.619
and that stuff.
546
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:43.279
Yeah. Yeah.
547
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:44.640
And the M & M' s.
548
00:31:45.410 --> 00:31:47.690
Yeah, like how, you know, like at Sephora where you
549
00:31:47.730 --> 00:31:51.190
have that little trail of trinkets that they want you
550
00:31:51.210 --> 00:31:51.630
to buy.
551
00:31:51.750 --> 00:31:54.509
Or Marshalls where it'd be like, do you want headphones?
552
00:31:54.549 --> 00:31:56.529
Do you want an iPhone case?
553
00:31:56.549 --> 00:31:59.150
Do you want some lemon heads? Or do you want popcorn?
554
00:31:59.289 --> 00:32:00.289
Do you need.
555
00:32:00.109 --> 00:32:05.029
A personal fan? Yes, a USB battery. Like, yeah, all
556
00:32:05.069 --> 00:32:07.549
those things. It was like that. And I was just like,
557
00:32:07.589 --> 00:32:09.650
why would y'all sell this album here? That's so like,
558
00:32:10.069 --> 00:32:13.269
that's crazy. But I guess it's a great tactic. But
559
00:32:13.329 --> 00:32:16.210
I was like, okay, meet the aunties where they at.
560
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:17.460
I'm not mad at it.
561
00:32:18.210 --> 00:32:20.740
Did you ever see the lady, the white lady online
562
00:32:20.779 --> 00:32:23.579
who does the personifications? Did I tell you about her?
563
00:32:24.420 --> 00:32:31.980
She does the personification of Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Ross.
564
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:33.279
Have you seen her?
565
00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:34.700
Mm-hmm.
566
00:32:35.269 --> 00:32:39.650
So she'll be like, Marshall's, you know, hey TJ, hey Max,
567
00:32:39.750 --> 00:32:40.630
what's going on today?
568
00:32:40.690 --> 00:32:42.519
And they'll be like, what's happening? How are you, girl?
569
00:32:43.299 --> 00:32:45.519
How are you, Rouse? Rouse, drouse, falouse.
570
00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:49.339
Rouse, drouse, yeah.
571
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:51.880
I don't remember. Oh, because we were talking about your mother.
572
00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:56.119
And that little trap at the end.
573
00:32:56.680 --> 00:33:00.849
Oh, yeah. She loved Elaine Bryant. But yeah, Jennifer Hudson's
574
00:33:00.970 --> 00:33:02.549
album was sold at Elaine Bryant.
575
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:04.400
I don't even know why I put that. I just,
576
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.200
I just pocket. That's the spell with it.
577
00:33:08.859 --> 00:33:23.000
Okay. Um, I'm going to, uh, start with, um, a
578
00:33:23.099 --> 00:33:25.140
song that has helped me, you know, there are certain
579
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:30.349
songs that help you with spelling like B-A-N-A-N-A-S and things.
580
00:33:30.390 --> 00:33:33.359
And there's other songs that help you about like, you know,
581
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:36.660
September 3rd, you know, it's a day you'll never forget,
582
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.000
you know, because that was the day. It was dead,
583
00:33:39.059 --> 00:33:41.680
it died, all that. 21st day of September, all that.
584
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:48.599
But there was one song that helped us learn. Yeah,
585
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:55.009
that helped learn the Zodiac. Fronts and backwards. And for that,
586
00:33:56.029 --> 00:33:59.170
I say Beyonce's Signs. It's my next song.
587
00:33:59.619 --> 00:34:23.460
Capricorn Aquarius You see how she ended up on a Sagittarius?
588
00:34:23.780 --> 00:34:28.440
That's her nigga. That's a Sagittarius. That's horrible. That's a lie.
589
00:34:48.780 --> 00:34:51.159
Because I've been hurt by a Pisces.
590
00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:56.610
Rewind. Yeah, that was my song. Yeah. Okay.
591
00:34:57.030 --> 00:35:01.610
All right. Remind me. This is a reminder. I'm not
592
00:35:01.650 --> 00:35:02.909
going to do it right this second.
593
00:35:03.449 --> 00:35:06.210
But I think we'll do a little ode to our
594
00:35:06.269 --> 00:35:09.070
patrons because we got a couple of suggestions from the
595
00:35:09.130 --> 00:35:14.489
last episode of songs that feel like spells to folks.
596
00:35:15.130 --> 00:35:16.909
So I think I want to read a couple of
597
00:35:16.949 --> 00:35:19.880
those toward the end of this. But if I'm going
598
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:23.929
on with my list from last week.
599
00:35:25.210 --> 00:35:30.889
Oh, yes. This song. This is part.
600
00:35:30.469 --> 00:35:33.570
Of my playlist when I need to calm my fucking nerves.
601
00:35:34.289 --> 00:35:37.739
And I feel like it's a nerve calming spell. It
602
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:42.219
doesn't have words. And it might sound familiar. You might
603
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:46.360
have heard this before. But this is the original. This
604
00:35:46.380 --> 00:36:13.590
is Dreamflower by Tarika Bloom. I love Erika because, you know,
605
00:36:13.630 --> 00:36:18.239
I mention all the time that she is classically jazz trained.
606
00:36:20.780 --> 00:36:22.360
But she, I.
607
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:28.260
Love the way that she incorporates that training into her
608
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:32.980
music in ways that is really accessible to to the
609
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:36.340
average ear. And that's not a slight, you know what
610
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.760
I'm saying? I played the flute and I worked at
611
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:42.469
a jazz club. And then my dad is big into jazz,
612
00:36:42.530 --> 00:36:44.969
you know what I'm saying? But I ain't no jazz musician,
613
00:36:45.010 --> 00:36:46.869
but I think also I have a little bit more
614
00:36:46.929 --> 00:36:50.489
exposure to jazz. And so for those that are really
615
00:36:50.550 --> 00:36:54.150
classically trained and have experience in it, I can imagine
616
00:36:54.170 --> 00:36:57.699
that it is really refreshing to hear it when it
617
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:02.230
goes into more of a mainstream area of appreciation, but
618
00:37:02.769 --> 00:37:03.829
Tariqa Blue.
619
00:37:05.369 --> 00:37:09.219
Is, that's my, that's my next selection. Dreamflower.
620
00:37:16.300 --> 00:37:22.880
Well, I'm going to keep on that note. You know,
621
00:37:22.900 --> 00:37:30.980
Lil' Kim sampled this song, you know, where she You
622
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:34.789
can't fuck with Queen B. If you say it softly,
623
00:37:34.829 --> 00:37:38.429
it's like a prayer. But even still, this song is
624
00:37:38.469 --> 00:37:39.650
very much like a.
625
00:37:41.110 --> 00:37:46.429
If Instagram was a thing in 1982, they would have
626
00:37:46.449 --> 00:37:50.019
had lyrics abound of this song. Everybody would have had
627
00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:53.119
the lyrics. But Free by Denise Williams.
628
00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:56.730
Even from the....
629
00:37:58.860 --> 00:38:01.199
I feel like the initial notes on Free, just the
630
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:03.369
way that it kind of like sets you into it.
631
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:04.320
You know what I'm saying?
632
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:05.739
Yeah.
633
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.199
And then the message on top of that.
634
00:38:09.980 --> 00:38:13.119
It gets you comfortable right in the very beginning of
635
00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:13.639
the song.
636
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:14.619
Hold on.
637
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:16.960
Let me play the little beginning of Free. I know
638
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:20.179
Abe will follow. I just feel like.
639
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:26.949
I don't know. I just feel a nostalgic, familiar feeling
640
00:38:27.070 --> 00:38:29.059
when that Comes on.
641
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:32.139
Play the wind.
642
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.690
Chimes.
643
00:38:37.829 --> 00:38:41.750
XD's playing the wind chimes.
644
00:38:42.289 --> 00:38:57.570
Integral. Integral to the song. I want to be an
645
00:38:57.650 --> 00:38:59.670
artist where I play... What do you do, Nick? I
646
00:38:59.710 --> 00:39:03.469
play wind chimes. And it's just like, okay. But you don't.
647
00:39:03.829 --> 00:39:08.420
You need them. Oh, okay.
648
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:09.519
I think that's going too long.
649
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:16.179
But even when the beat sets in, I feel like
650
00:39:16.300 --> 00:39:19.409
it gives you different levels of different types of magic.
651
00:39:20.849 --> 00:39:22.190
Can I say that again? I'm sorry.
652
00:39:22.389 --> 00:39:24.769
When the beat sets in as well, I feel like
653
00:39:24.789 --> 00:39:25.929
that gives you another.
654
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:27.900
Warm feeling.
655
00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:31.699
First, we have the mystical feeling at the beginning with
656
00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:33.750
the chimes, and then it gets into the beat, and
657
00:39:33.829 --> 00:39:36.329
it's like, hmm, this feels like.
658
00:39:37.789 --> 00:39:40.630
I'm at Auntie's, which is also a magical place. It's
659
00:39:40.670 --> 00:39:42.349
a place of spells. You know what I mean?
660
00:39:42.369 --> 00:39:56.190
Thank you. Thank you. all you haters will see yes
661
00:39:56.210 --> 00:39:57.190
a jam.
662
00:39:57.610 --> 00:40:01.989
Okay all right i'm gonna go in a similar direction
663
00:40:02.469 --> 00:40:04.050
you know what i'm saying if we're gonna stay in
664
00:40:04.130 --> 00:40:09.730
sync in this way you know another absolute queen you
665
00:40:09.909 --> 00:40:13.760
actually which i have to tell you friend i have
666
00:40:13.780 --> 00:40:16.159
to do a friend appreciation moment for you for a
667
00:40:16.219 --> 00:40:22.079
second Because this song is one of my personal magical songs.
668
00:40:22.409 --> 00:40:24.780
Like some of these songs are like my own. And
669
00:40:24.820 --> 00:40:26.889
then some of them I'm like, okay, they can evoke
670
00:40:26.909 --> 00:40:30.030
a feeling. And then some of them are from loved ones. Like, oh,
671
00:40:30.489 --> 00:40:31.889
this is a song that, you know, so it's just
672
00:40:31.909 --> 00:40:35.670
kind of sharing music knowledge. But this is one of
673
00:40:35.710 --> 00:40:38.929
my personal favorites. She's one of my most personal favorite
674
00:40:39.409 --> 00:40:44.030
singers of all time. And you happened to use this
675
00:40:44.110 --> 00:40:52.389
song on my birthday. And it is Minnie Riperton's Le Fleur.
676
00:40:52.409 --> 00:40:54.449
Oh, yeah.
677
00:40:54.829 --> 00:40:56.769
You know what I'm saying?
678
00:40:56.789 --> 00:40:58.010
It sets in.
679
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:02.880
I'm a whimsical nigga, you know what I'm saying? Maybe
680
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:06.460
not a fairy, more of like a firefly.
681
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.619
Or something else that flies and stings.
682
00:41:10.340 --> 00:41:14.769
But Le Fleur just puts me, you know, it gives
683
00:41:14.849 --> 00:41:17.110
me that good, the way that that lute goes.
684
00:41:17.750 --> 00:41:20.269
Or guitar or whatever sets in at the very top,
685
00:41:20.289 --> 00:41:22.449
it just puts me in a space.
686
00:41:23.030 --> 00:41:25.269
And I want to be a black girl who frolics
687
00:41:25.389 --> 00:41:26.949
nigga with butterflies around me.
688
00:41:26.989 --> 00:41:29.909
Butterflies like me, nigga. They be landing on me. You
689
00:41:29.929 --> 00:41:30.469
know what I'm saying?
690
00:41:30.510 --> 00:41:33.500
So I'm like, nah, there's some whimsy in there. And
691
00:41:34.179 --> 00:41:37.960
LeFleur gives me that magical feeling. So that's one of
692
00:41:38.019 --> 00:41:59.730
my personal... And I love the perspective of her being
693
00:41:59.809 --> 00:42:00.429
the flower.
694
00:42:00.570 --> 00:42:01.230
You know what I'm saying?
695
00:42:01.269 --> 00:42:06.469
Will a lady put me in her hair? You know
696
00:42:06.489 --> 00:42:09.590
what I'm saying? Will a child find me by a spring?
697
00:42:10.449 --> 00:42:13.349
So it's just such a magical song. So Minnie Riperton's
698
00:42:13.409 --> 00:42:18.269
Le Flair. Not to be confused with Gucci, Le Flair.
699
00:42:19.670 --> 00:42:19.909
No.
700
00:42:23.210 --> 00:42:31.409
I am going to, I guess, continue with this airiness
701
00:42:31.469 --> 00:42:39.659
of things. Okay. And one of the greatest songs of
702
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:47.769
all time is a very black song. And what was
703
00:42:47.909 --> 00:42:50.679
cool is that one of the members of this group
704
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:54.019
was actually on Big Brother this season.
705
00:42:55.820 --> 00:42:56.019
Ah!
706
00:42:56.500 --> 00:42:59.599
They made it very far in the middle of the season,
707
00:42:59.619 --> 00:43:02.059
which is pretty big because, you know, Big Brother lasts
708
00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:06.070
all summer. But also, this is a song that's very
709
00:43:06.289 --> 00:43:09.030
uplifting for us. When I was looking for this, this
710
00:43:09.070 --> 00:43:11.969
is all like a bunch of black hoodoo playlists and stuff.
711
00:43:13.170 --> 00:43:17.090
Because it is a very... Uplifting song and stuff that
712
00:43:17.110 --> 00:43:21.079
we just keep harping on to ruminate on and meditate
713
00:43:21.300 --> 00:43:26.340
on to come to fruition. But optimistic by Sounds of Blackness.
714
00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:27.699
The Blackness. Yeah.
715
00:43:42.539 --> 00:43:47.809
Oh, yeah. Sounds of Blackness is all... They are a coven.
716
00:43:54.050 --> 00:43:56.619
I can't think of her name who was on Big
717
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:59.860
Brother this season, but yeah, she was on. Not NSB, obviously.
718
00:43:59.940 --> 00:44:01.510
I was going to say it. But....
719
00:44:03.730 --> 00:44:06.949
And Nesbitt, your big brother, might actually have me back
720
00:44:06.969 --> 00:44:07.650
on the watch.
721
00:44:08.030 --> 00:44:10.170
I would tune in. I will say that.
722
00:44:10.190 --> 00:44:14.460
I'm telling you, I got pissed off after that 50th season.
723
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:18.219
You know what I'm saying? Between the eyelash and the country.
724
00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:19.900
I was over it after a while.
725
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:22.820
Oh, Survivor, yeah. Yeah, I was irritated. Yeah, that was bad.
726
00:44:22.980 --> 00:44:25.659
I have 51 years back. I'm not, I'm protesting.
727
00:44:25.940 --> 00:44:29.480
Yeah, no, I, yes. I'm off. Yeah, and I protested
728
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:30.280
to you first.
729
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:31.059
Yeah.
730
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:37.719
Ooh, okay. Sounds of Blackness. Let's see.
731
00:44:38.420 --> 00:44:43.159
Okay, I can follow you up with that. I feel
732
00:44:43.179 --> 00:44:47.519
like this is one of the Negroes of music. You
733
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:51.239
know what I'm saying?
734
00:44:51.260 --> 00:44:57.260
We saw... Did we see him together, possibly? Maybe so,
735
00:44:57.340 --> 00:45:00.860
but he passed away last year. And he is.
736
00:45:03.050 --> 00:45:06.769
Such a staple, I think, especially following this past weekend
737
00:45:06.849 --> 00:45:11.130
as we were recording, it was the African American Day
738
00:45:11.170 --> 00:45:15.550
Parade uptown. And even though it rained, and listen, I
739
00:45:15.590 --> 00:45:23.679
know I talk my shit about wonky, far gone FBAs.
740
00:45:24.260 --> 00:45:28.019
That doesn't mean that I don't think that original Black
741
00:45:28.059 --> 00:45:32.059
American heritage is important.
742
00:45:32.380 --> 00:45:35.510
You know what I mean? I think that the foundation
743
00:45:35.590 --> 00:45:36.849
of us is important.
744
00:45:37.510 --> 00:45:43.170
I think that term has been bastardized.
745
00:45:42.949 --> 00:45:44.360
And sullied and tainted.
746
00:45:44.929 --> 00:45:50.630
By the divisive nature of, or the divisive tones that
747
00:45:50.670 --> 00:45:51.780
people bring into it.
748
00:45:52.110 --> 00:45:52.610
You know what I'm saying?
749
00:45:52.650 --> 00:45:55.699
That's the harmful rhetoric that comes in where it does
750
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:59.219
harm us as a people across the globe.
751
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:00.059
You know what I'm saying?
752
00:46:00.099 --> 00:46:03.039
Because whether you like it or not, we are connected.
753
00:46:03.579 --> 00:46:05.679
So that's my issue. But that doesn't mean that I
754
00:46:05.699 --> 00:46:12.429
don't find deep pride and importance in having Black American culture.
755
00:46:12.469 --> 00:46:13.539
You know what I'm saying? I am.
756
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:17.889
I'm a black American woman, like through and motherfucking through.
757
00:46:17.969 --> 00:46:21.500
And I'm really fucking proud of that. I love that.
758
00:46:22.099 --> 00:46:26.119
I feel that in my spirit when I meet other
759
00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:29.280
people where it's like we got the automatic connection because
760
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:31.480
there are things that don't have to be said.
761
00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:32.400
You know what I'm saying?
762
00:46:32.420 --> 00:46:35.440
We can speak through our facial expressions. We can speak
763
00:46:35.460 --> 00:46:38.179
through our tones. We can do a hmm. And a
764
00:46:38.380 --> 00:46:42.400
complete stranger will understand exactly what we are talking about.
765
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:45.079
I think it is a beautiful aspect of our culture.
766
00:46:45.659 --> 00:46:49.070
And also, we are part of a global culture as well.
767
00:46:50.230 --> 00:46:52.110
And we could have our culture and be a part
768
00:46:52.150 --> 00:46:54.409
of a global culture. And sorry, I didn't mean to
769
00:46:54.449 --> 00:46:56.650
go on a soapbox, but I wanted to say that
770
00:46:56.670 --> 00:47:03.570
in honor of my next selection. But it's Roy Ayers.
771
00:47:04.269 --> 00:47:07.590
Roy Ayers is that nigga. You know what I'm saying?
772
00:47:11.449 --> 00:47:14.909
And yes, that is one of our classics. But this
773
00:47:15.070 --> 00:47:17.900
one is actually the third eye.
774
00:47:19.190 --> 00:47:21.989
By Roy Ayers. I stay woke.
775
00:47:22.050 --> 00:47:24.389
Not anymore, but yes.
776
00:47:25.469 --> 00:47:29.920
You just take things and make them.
777
00:47:48.179 --> 00:47:54.030
Awful idea. That's my specialty. XD ruins everything. Everything! My
778
00:47:54.050 --> 00:47:56.869
next song is... We're going to change it up a bit.
779
00:47:57.050 --> 00:48:00.650
I could put all of her songs on here as
780
00:48:00.670 --> 00:48:01.760
a spell. I.
781
00:48:18.210 --> 00:48:22.699
I had trouble picking, but I left two on here, but, um,
782
00:48:24.179 --> 00:48:30.139
I will say this song is like the quintessential Negro
783
00:48:30.900 --> 00:48:36.619
pure moods song. It is, it is, uh, It is
784
00:48:36.699 --> 00:48:40.579
gin latte. It is Neutrogena body oil.
785
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:43.019
It's hot six.
786
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:49.400
African six body oil. It is a... Dudley's grease. It
787
00:48:49.500 --> 00:48:54.219
is a vase with fake reeds coming out of it
788
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.539
in your apartment. A lamp that goes like this, maybe
789
00:48:57.599 --> 00:48:58.420
three or five.
790
00:48:58.500 --> 00:48:59.679
Oh, I still got three. It's three.
791
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:23.989
But yes. But cherish the day by Sade. Yes. Sade is.
792
00:49:24.349 --> 00:49:26.829
That's a Negro spiritual. Yeah.
793
00:49:27.050 --> 00:49:27.989
That's a Negro.
794
00:49:28.010 --> 00:49:29.730
That's a Negro spiritual.
795
00:49:29.750 --> 00:49:33.550
I won't go astray. Don't hold me in prayer.
796
00:49:34.789 --> 00:49:39.909
Don't catch me running. Listen, Fela Sade. Okay.
797
00:49:40.230 --> 00:49:46.869
Helene. Okay. Okay. But yeah, I... Yeah, that's... When I
798
00:49:46.909 --> 00:49:48.090
was listening to her songs, I was like, all these
799
00:49:48.130 --> 00:49:50.449
songs sound like spells if you play them right.
800
00:49:50.510 --> 00:49:50.610
But.
801
00:49:51.510 --> 00:49:54.230
I was like, well, Cherish the Day is the... Because
802
00:49:54.250 --> 00:49:56.489
you got to do the album cover.
803
00:49:56.949 --> 00:49:59.809
Literally any Sade song. She was sweet.
804
00:49:59.829 --> 00:50:01.329
The sweetest taboo is on here.
805
00:50:01.510 --> 00:50:07.329
As cherry pie, wild as Friday night.
806
00:50:08.389 --> 00:50:11.750
And also, you know why she's a witch? Because she's
807
00:50:11.769 --> 00:50:13.929
been having that bun for all these years. Edge is
808
00:50:13.949 --> 00:50:14.610
still intact.
809
00:50:16.170 --> 00:50:16.489
Mm-hmm.
810
00:50:16.769 --> 00:50:20.340
You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. She said, bitch, bask
811
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:22.539
and lather, bitch. Anyway.
812
00:50:23.460 --> 00:50:28.119
Maiden tale. Okay.
813
00:50:28.369 --> 00:50:32.670
What if people asked her, like, Shadi, what's your secret
814
00:50:32.849 --> 00:50:35.949
to your intact edges? And she really came back and
815
00:50:35.969 --> 00:50:38.269
she said, lost his pink lotion.
816
00:50:38.289 --> 00:50:47.420
Okay. Which is still owned and operated by a black family.
817
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:48.500
Is it?
818
00:50:49.139 --> 00:50:52.199
Nigga, I'm about to have all kinds of peak shit
819
00:50:52.260 --> 00:50:54.619
in my lungs.
820
00:50:54.659 --> 00:50:59.010
Your hair gonna fall out. Girl, is that gum? No.
821
00:51:00.789 --> 00:51:03.170
All that product they got in that lotion.
822
00:51:03.909 --> 00:51:07.750
Because that lotion was thick when I had loose hair.
823
00:51:07.989 --> 00:51:10.150
Yeah. It was a paste.
824
00:51:10.250 --> 00:51:12.050
I loved it though, nigga. That was part of our
825
00:51:12.110 --> 00:51:12.829
morning routines.
826
00:51:12.889 --> 00:51:16.199
It was like the Oh, same, because I used to
827
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:21.219
get my grandmother's pink Lester's lotion, and then she upgraded
828
00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:23.920
to Motions. And I loved Motions. I loved the way
829
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:24.659
Motions smelled.
830
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:28.280
I remember the Motions. Baby, that's when people started using it.
831
00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:29.199
With the yellow and the purple lid.
832
00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:35.699
But that's when they started using Paul Mitchell products and Mizani.
833
00:51:35.940 --> 00:51:40.280
I remember when Mizani came on the scene. Me too.
834
00:51:40.340 --> 00:51:42.150
I was like, oh. Me too.
835
00:51:42.489 --> 00:51:45.030
I remember when Paul Mitchell released that tea tree line
836
00:51:45.110 --> 00:51:47.610
and niggas was like, yes, because my hair is cleaner.
837
00:51:47.929 --> 00:51:53.289
It's cleaner. It's clarifying shampoo. That was me. I was like, oh,
838
00:51:53.349 --> 00:51:55.880
it's tinkling. That's what you know. It's clean. No, bitch.
839
00:51:55.949 --> 00:51:59.960
It's just tea tree. It's just tinkling, girl. It's just
840
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:01.519
the chemical reaction. That's it.
841
00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:03.920
The same thing when you put that Dr. Brothers on
842
00:52:03.980 --> 00:52:04.500
your dick.
843
00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:16.460
Anyway. Exactly. Feels like you're cheating, you know. Oh, my God. Man,
844
00:52:16.530 --> 00:52:23.909
talk about biting into a York peppermint patty, okay. Barts
845
00:52:23.949 --> 00:52:26.909
be cooler than a motherfucker, okay.
846
00:52:27.070 --> 00:52:31.190
Icy. Oh my god, okay. Whose turn is it?
847
00:52:32.690 --> 00:52:33.289
You can go.
848
00:52:33.449 --> 00:52:34.929
What did you just do? What did you do?
849
00:52:35.190 --> 00:52:37.570
Cherish the day. Oh yeah, cherish the day.
850
00:52:37.670 --> 00:52:38.179
Okay, let's see.
851
00:52:40.210 --> 00:52:53.260
Yeah, that's Deeply Negro. I can stay on that wave, actually. Yeah,
852
00:52:53.639 --> 00:52:56.579
this is also a very Black song. And people may
853
00:52:56.599 --> 00:53:00.000
not agree with me on this. You know there are
854
00:53:00.019 --> 00:53:02.440
certain songs that evoke something in you. And since I
855
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:06.239
was a kid, I don't know why this song is
856
00:53:06.420 --> 00:53:09.809
so lovely to me. Probably because the lyrics are just
857
00:53:09.889 --> 00:53:13.190
so beautiful. But I love the melody. I love the instrumentation.
858
00:53:13.210 --> 00:53:16.989
And I love that this nigga has a nigga ass name.
859
00:53:17.030 --> 00:53:21.309
This is Norman Connors. You are my star chef.
860
00:53:37.469 --> 00:53:47.519
You are my starship. Take me out tonight. And don't
861
00:53:47.699 --> 00:53:49.320
be late.
862
00:53:50.659 --> 00:53:58.119
And don't you go too soon. Nora Connors, we have
863
00:53:58.179 --> 00:54:00.360
a hit because Imitation is my song.
864
00:54:00.460 --> 00:54:01.360
Okay.
865
00:54:01.389 --> 00:54:06.489
That's my jam. I want you to stay. Yes. Yeah,
866
00:54:06.510 --> 00:54:07.090
that's my jam.
867
00:54:10.500 --> 00:54:15.909
Yeah, y'all go get into You Are My Starship.
868
00:54:17.429 --> 00:54:18.050
Wait, was that?
869
00:54:18.070 --> 00:54:20.289
I thought that was Alicia Myers.
870
00:54:20.489 --> 00:54:21.530
Oh, that's Norman Connors.
871
00:54:21.650 --> 00:54:24.170
That's Norman Connors with, I don't know who the lady's
872
00:54:24.210 --> 00:54:33.030
singing with him. My roommate in college used to be
873
00:54:33.070 --> 00:54:36.550
a DJ and like producer. So that was a sample
874
00:54:36.590 --> 00:54:40.880
he tried to flip so often. So it'd be late
875
00:54:40.940 --> 00:54:45.019
at night. I'd be like, nigga, get headphones. Yeah.
876
00:54:45.139 --> 00:54:50.659
Yeah. That is the fucking jam, nigga. I love this song.
877
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:52.559
I love that song.
878
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:55.730
But yes, to be honest, you are my starship.
879
00:55:00.300 --> 00:55:05.099
You know, out of all of our playlists over the years,
880
00:55:06.619 --> 00:55:09.349
I think, I don't know why she has never come up.
881
00:55:12.119 --> 00:55:19.050
A friend of ours, friend of the show, she has,
882
00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:23.170
she's been doing music ever since I met her in 2008.
883
00:55:23.170 --> 00:55:29.409
And I feel like she's, She's so talented, and I
884
00:55:29.469 --> 00:55:34.969
want her to get her just due. But I have
885
00:55:35.010 --> 00:55:37.199
two songs of hers out here, but I'll give you
886
00:55:37.260 --> 00:55:40.579
one right now. But it's Galaxies by India Shah.
887
00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:43.199
Oh, oh, oh.
888
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:44.760
Oh, oh, oh.
889
00:55:57.050 --> 00:56:01.670
Oh, my God. Damn, we've never done any of the show?
890
00:56:01.889 --> 00:56:03.329
That's crazy.
891
00:56:04.329 --> 00:56:06.909
Yeah. Because in my head, I was like, well, has
892
00:56:06.929 --> 00:56:08.769
she ever been on the show? No, she hasn't been
893
00:56:08.860 --> 00:56:10.179
on the show. So that's crazy.
894
00:56:10.260 --> 00:56:13.019
Oh, I'm going to tell you. Hold on. Oh, India,
895
00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:15.019
we owe you so much, sister.
896
00:56:15.099 --> 00:56:18.900
Wait. Because Cali Love is my song, but Galaxies is
897
00:56:18.980 --> 00:56:24.159
such a haunting, very sad song. But it's... It's about
898
00:56:24.179 --> 00:56:28.360
long distance, but it's very... Hold on. Very pretty.
899
00:56:28.780 --> 00:56:33.280
She got a song that came out not too long ago.
900
00:56:33.300 --> 00:56:39.199
And when I tell you the minute I heard the
901
00:56:39.260 --> 00:56:42.400
very first snippet of that song, I was like.
902
00:56:43.219 --> 00:56:46.360
Wait, she's giving me a good... She's giving me... I
903
00:56:46.539 --> 00:56:48.139
know I keep talking about nostalgia.
904
00:56:48.280 --> 00:56:50.340
Maybe, like you said, it's the stage of life.
905
00:56:51.030 --> 00:56:56.170
But it was giving that feel. Wait, is it moving on? India,
906
00:56:56.309 --> 00:56:59.500
I like you. We love you. And I can't believe
907
00:56:59.519 --> 00:57:01.139
you ain't never been on here. That's crazy.
908
00:57:01.159 --> 00:57:05.500
But my next song is Galaxies by India.
909
00:57:06.300 --> 00:57:08.019
That's a good selection.
910
00:57:10.710 --> 00:57:12.329
Now I got to figure out which song I'm talking
911
00:57:12.349 --> 00:57:16.449
about because I need to tell you what it is. Okay,
912
00:57:16.489 --> 00:57:19.179
do I have anything in the realm that fits with
913
00:57:19.260 --> 00:57:22.139
our little sister, India Shawns?
914
00:57:26.619 --> 00:57:27.079
You know.
915
00:57:27.099 --> 00:57:27.170
Hmm.
916
00:57:31.460 --> 00:57:34.239
Hmm.
917
00:57:35.559 --> 00:57:38.119
I feel like I'm going to follow this up because
918
00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:41.239
this would be my premise.
919
00:57:41.260 --> 00:57:41.329
Yes.
920
00:57:44.320 --> 00:57:47.139
I'm going to go with somebody also who's young and
921
00:57:47.280 --> 00:57:51.739
still very relevant. Not that these people are not relevant.
922
00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:56.750
That came out wrong. But somebody on the younger side
923
00:57:56.789 --> 00:58:00.309
of things. And even though I have said many times
924
00:58:00.349 --> 00:58:04.829
that his voice is not necessarily for me, I know
925
00:58:04.869 --> 00:58:07.730
this nigga is a witch because he has so many
926
00:58:07.789 --> 00:58:10.650
of you all in a trance. And I think I
927
00:58:10.690 --> 00:58:12.949
can kind of understand why, because there are songs that
928
00:58:13.010 --> 00:58:16.530
I do enjoy, even though I don't necessarily enjoy his voice.
929
00:58:17.550 --> 00:58:20.050
And even though the other person on this song is
930
00:58:20.150 --> 00:58:25.050
mentally unwell, there's something to the beat that kind of
931
00:58:25.219 --> 00:58:28.800
loops you into a feeling. And so that would be
932
00:58:29.239 --> 00:58:34.639
No Church in the Wild by Kanye, Jay-Z, and Frank Oceana.
933
00:58:53.590 --> 00:59:00.280
Frank Ocean is a witch. Because niggas motherfucking love Frank Ocean.
934
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:02.219
And I'm about to have a diatribe of niggas in
935
00:59:02.219 --> 00:59:04.380
here telling me all of the reasons why they love
936
00:59:04.380 --> 00:59:04.940
Frank Ocean.
937
00:59:04.940 --> 00:59:06.940
And I'm cool with that. You know what I'm saying?
938
00:59:06.940 --> 00:59:07.329
It's fine.
939
00:59:07.329 --> 00:59:09.440
He's still one of them young niggas. I'm like, yeah,
940
00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:12.659
no no i hear you he's very talented he's introverted
941
00:59:12.719 --> 00:59:15.619
yes all of those things and his voice you know
942
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:19.519
sometimes wears on my nerves and sometimes i i i
943
00:59:19.539 --> 00:59:20.179
can take it.
944
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:24.820
Um let's take a break and we'll be back with
945
00:59:24.920 --> 00:59:29.030
more jayden xd hit it claude.
946
00:59:29.510 --> 00:59:33.030
After these messages, we'll be right back.
947
00:59:36.050 --> 00:59:39.440
You are the master of your own practice and the
948
00:59:39.519 --> 00:59:42.619
amount that is right to study before starting, in your
949
00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:47.380
particular case, can only be determined by you. My fifth
950
00:59:47.460 --> 00:59:49.900
lesson is one that I already knew and I'm glad
951
00:59:49.940 --> 00:59:52.780
that I did. It's that the attitude of some people
952
00:59:52.820 --> 00:59:56.429
on the scene towards certain spiritual beliefs and religions.
953
00:59:58.900 --> 01:00:08.099
And we're back. We're discussing spells again. I believe it's
954
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:14.179
my turn. Yeah. My next song is from my new
955
01:00:14.219 --> 01:00:21.489
favorite artist. She makes, well, first of all, her and
956
01:00:21.510 --> 01:00:26.260
India got a song together, but like, Her songs are
957
01:00:26.300 --> 01:00:31.360
very haunting and very witchy-like in general. And Mama puts
958
01:00:31.500 --> 01:00:35.940
on for SoCal. You know, she represents L.A. down. She's
959
01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:38.840
a very L.A., black L.A. girl, and I appreciate that.
960
01:00:39.780 --> 01:00:48.119
But my next song is Colors by Alex Isley. Pretty
961
01:00:48.179 --> 01:01:01.300
green Amarillo, my love Oh, yes.
962
01:01:01.579 --> 01:01:06.079
Oh, with a very black lineage. Yes.
963
01:01:06.300 --> 01:01:08.639
Who we'll get to in a second in my next song.
964
01:01:09.099 --> 01:01:12.110
Because, you know, I was like, well, you just sent
965
01:01:12.130 --> 01:01:13.190
me in that direction.
966
01:01:13.670 --> 01:01:18.190
Oh, yeah.
967
01:01:18.570 --> 01:01:19.110
She is.
968
01:01:19.409 --> 01:01:22.929
You have a witchy lineage, girl. You really do. And
969
01:01:23.289 --> 01:01:25.510
I do appreciate her. I love black L.A.
970
01:01:25.980 --> 01:01:26.360
Girls.
971
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:28.800
I love black L.A.
972
01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:29.239
Culture.
973
01:01:30.329 --> 01:01:31.630
Like, I think it's beautiful.
974
01:01:31.650 --> 01:01:37.110
I love watching us in different pockets of the country,
975
01:01:37.750 --> 01:01:38.289
but like, be.
976
01:01:40.590 --> 01:01:42.539
Genuinely and deeply Negro.
977
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:47.980
And I think that, you know, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Memphis,
978
01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:52.159
and LA really has a pocket of that too. So
979
01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:53.639
we're going to go in and go to her daddy
980
01:01:53.699 --> 01:01:58.070
and uncles then. Because, you know, I was trying to
981
01:01:58.789 --> 01:02:00.769
I was trying to save some of them for our
982
01:02:00.849 --> 01:02:02.510
second half, but you know there was going to be
983
01:02:02.550 --> 01:02:08.119
some Isley Brothers on here. And I have many selections,
984
01:02:08.219 --> 01:02:09.739
but I think the first.
985
01:02:09.659 --> 01:02:12.199
One that I.
986
01:02:14.099 --> 01:02:16.599
Think is so magical from the Isley Brothers, outside of
987
01:02:16.639 --> 01:02:20.280
the obvious, outside of the voyage to Atlantis, because I
988
01:02:20.300 --> 01:02:22.900
feel like that's peak magic.
989
01:02:24.099 --> 01:02:26.780
The Highways of My Life. Do you know that song?
990
01:02:26.820 --> 01:02:29.469
Oh, that's my next song. Really?
991
01:02:30.690 --> 01:02:42.949
Oh, that's crazy.
992
01:02:43.349 --> 01:02:50.269
Because I was actually going to pull a you and
993
01:02:50.289 --> 01:02:54.030
do two versions and do the original version with the
994
01:02:54.159 --> 01:03:02.150
Isley Brothers and then Zoe's version. Why am I drawing
995
01:03:02.190 --> 01:03:08.449
a blank with his name? He did Baby Have No Fear.
996
01:03:08.670 --> 01:03:10.429
I'm right here. Won't you come around?
997
01:03:10.449 --> 01:03:12.690
Oh, won't you come around? Oh, my God.
998
01:03:12.750 --> 01:03:13.570
Darian Brockington.
999
01:03:13.590 --> 01:03:14.130
Yes.
1000
01:03:14.570 --> 01:03:16.929
What happened to him? Did he go to church? Was
1001
01:03:16.949 --> 01:03:19.239
that what happened with him? One of them went to church.
1002
01:03:19.260 --> 01:03:20.699
He got a degree. He did.
1003
01:03:20.719 --> 01:03:26.590
Okay. I mean that, you know, respectfully.
1004
01:03:26.610 --> 01:03:29.530
I can tell you off camera what happened. But yeah,
1005
01:03:31.150 --> 01:03:33.869
he got saved, and then he went to school. He
1006
01:03:33.889 --> 01:03:35.739
got a job. He got a master's degree.
1007
01:03:35.780 --> 01:03:38.179
Okay, yes. Okay, I'm with that.
1008
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:41.300
And then he went back to music. Love it.
1009
01:03:41.440 --> 01:03:41.860
First love.
1010
01:03:41.900 --> 01:03:45.079
But yeah, he's out here. He's out here. Okay. Very
1011
01:03:45.099 --> 01:03:45.559
nice guy.
1012
01:03:46.599 --> 01:03:50.400
Yes, he is, actually. I've met him. But yes, The
1013
01:03:50.420 --> 01:03:53.460
Highways of My Life by the Isley Brothers. I have
1014
01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:56.119
a couple of by the Isley Brothers, actually. I also
1015
01:03:56.159 --> 01:03:57.610
have Fire and Rain.
1016
01:04:00.429 --> 01:04:05.869
And Freedom. I have Between the Sheets on here.
1017
01:04:06.309 --> 01:04:08.389
Because that is a sex spell.
1018
01:04:09.409 --> 01:04:13.760
Yeah. Immediately. Matter of fact, my next song is Between
1019
01:04:13.780 --> 01:04:32.429
the Sheets by the Isley Brothers. And the reason why
1020
01:04:32.449 --> 01:04:36.030
is because when he said, I'll be your freak. And
1021
01:04:36.070 --> 01:04:38.429
I was like, that's, I don't know if I want
1022
01:04:38.489 --> 01:04:40.789
Ron honestly telling me that in my ear, but only
1023
01:04:40.809 --> 01:04:42.929
way you could do that is through a spell to me.
1024
01:04:43.030 --> 01:04:49.599
So yeah, why not? And it's so like, between the sheets.
1025
01:04:50.500 --> 01:04:54.269
Yeah. I, I, And I do.
1026
01:04:54.329 --> 01:04:57.190
I feel that way. You know what it is with
1027
01:04:57.210 --> 01:05:01.570
the Isley Brothers, outside of So Much? Those motherfucking guitars.
1028
01:05:02.329 --> 01:05:03.329
Because the top of.
1029
01:05:03.309 --> 01:05:07.289
Voyage to Atlantis. Musicianship.
1030
01:05:08.590 --> 01:05:11.829
That, as soon as it starts, you are under a spell.
1031
01:05:14.179 --> 01:05:17.280
As soon as Voyage to Atlantis starts, you are under
1032
01:05:17.300 --> 01:05:18.320
a spell immediately.
1033
01:05:19.420 --> 01:05:20.639
And really, I want to say.
1034
01:05:22.460 --> 01:05:28.210
Is it that whole album, actually? It's your thing.
1035
01:05:29.710 --> 01:05:30.309
Even work.
1036
01:05:30.469 --> 01:05:31.329
I got work to do.
1037
01:05:31.590 --> 01:05:34.469
Nigga, that's a spell. I got work to do. I
1038
01:05:34.510 --> 01:05:35.690
got a job, baby.
1039
01:05:35.849 --> 01:05:38.929
I got work. I got a job, baby. I got
1040
01:05:39.010 --> 01:05:39.800
work to do.
1041
01:05:40.539 --> 01:05:42.519
I enjoy Vanessa Williams' cover of that.
1042
01:05:43.460 --> 01:05:46.420
Yes, but you don't want to know. What was I
1043
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:47.019
pulling up?
1044
01:05:48.460 --> 01:05:49.739
I don't know. It's your turn.
1045
01:05:51.610 --> 01:05:55.360
Didn't I just go? I guess I didn't. I'm going
1046
01:05:55.380 --> 01:05:58.420
to end with them, actually. So I'm going to keep going.
1047
01:05:58.440 --> 01:06:01.800
Okay.
1048
01:06:01.820 --> 01:06:04.820
You know, there was a special particular magic that happened
1049
01:06:04.860 --> 01:06:08.960
in the 80s and the 90s as well.
1050
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:10.090
You know, we.
1051
01:06:11.670 --> 01:06:12.739
Felt it, I think, the....
1052
01:06:14.769 --> 01:06:20.699
In the future, during Thanksgiving time, when we watched Media Man,
1053
01:06:20.760 --> 01:06:24.400
there was a new Jack Swing era. But that was
1054
01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:26.480
also the era when we had a lot of the
1055
01:06:26.539 --> 01:06:29.059
Karen White. We had the ballads. We had a lot
1056
01:06:29.099 --> 01:06:34.489
going on. And there was a group. And I feel
1057
01:06:34.510 --> 01:06:37.610
like I've put this song on a list before. But
1058
01:06:37.690 --> 01:06:41.489
this particular group has a song. And it still puts
1059
01:06:41.530 --> 01:06:44.019
you in that mindset and in that feel. But there
1060
01:06:44.099 --> 01:06:48.699
is something very magical about it. And it's loose ends.
1061
01:06:49.539 --> 01:06:51.159
You can't stop the rain.
1062
01:06:51.619 --> 01:06:54.719
That's a magical nigga ass song.
1063
01:07:11.780 --> 01:07:12.639
Oh, yeah.
1064
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:17.860
You can't stop the rain.
1065
01:07:18.780 --> 01:07:25.460
Let's get into some magical nigga shit. But before that, I...
1066
01:07:27.789 --> 01:07:29.610
Last time I had a lot of white artists, but
1067
01:07:29.690 --> 01:07:31.530
this time I only have one. Okay.
1068
01:07:32.210 --> 01:07:33.869
Oh, let's go.
1069
01:07:35.309 --> 01:07:39.880
And it's very... I play this song, it's like a
1070
01:07:39.940 --> 01:07:43.420
vocal stim that I have in my head all the
1071
01:07:43.460 --> 01:07:47.980
time if I do something for a client or if
1072
01:07:48.039 --> 01:07:52.719
Chris is out doing something. But it's a cautionary tale,
1073
01:07:53.739 --> 01:08:17.600
but Fame by David Bowie. Yes. Yes.
1074
01:08:18.979 --> 01:08:20.739
I feel like I could have put some Depeche Mode
1075
01:08:20.779 --> 01:08:23.800
on here, but I didn't. Because that's definitely some spooky
1076
01:08:23.840 --> 01:08:24.840
music for sure.
1077
01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:26.819
But yes, it is.
1078
01:08:26.859 --> 01:08:31.670
David Bowie... He's probably the Irish roots, if you know
1079
01:08:31.689 --> 01:08:33.890
what I mean. Does he actually?
1080
01:08:35.050 --> 01:08:36.789
I mean, he had a black wife for a very
1081
01:08:36.850 --> 01:08:37.590
long time.
1082
01:08:39.489 --> 01:08:41.149
So does that comedian with the red hair.
1083
01:08:41.170 --> 01:08:41.229
Oh.
1084
01:08:45.029 --> 01:08:45.930
I don't know his name.
1085
01:08:48.050 --> 01:08:48.649
Brixton.
1086
01:08:48.689 --> 01:08:51.010
He's from Brixton. That's probably why he.
1087
01:08:51.029 --> 01:08:53.270
Oh, with the Jamaicans.
1088
01:08:54.029 --> 01:08:54.109
Yeah.
1089
01:08:55.369 --> 01:08:58.340
That explains a lot of his hair and style choices.
1090
01:08:59.350 --> 01:09:05.130
David Bowie never met a white pant he ain't like.
1091
01:09:05.270 --> 01:09:09.130
Nah, David Bowie, he British. So that means you got
1092
01:09:09.149 --> 01:09:12.510
to be something else because nobody is actually British. You
1093
01:09:12.529 --> 01:09:16.489
know what I'm saying? They something else.
1094
01:09:16.710 --> 01:09:19.890
I mean, white. I mean, you know.
1095
01:09:20.579 --> 01:09:22.539
Yeah, but that... Yeah, no, you're right.
1096
01:09:22.560 --> 01:09:22.840
Okay.
1097
01:09:23.010 --> 01:09:29.289
Anyway, I'm not dying on that hill today. What I'm
1098
01:09:29.310 --> 01:09:31.750
trying to say is white British people are not real.
1099
01:09:32.670 --> 01:09:42.390
Let me stop. What is your next song? That was Unhinged.
1100
01:09:42.810 --> 01:09:48.470
Speaking of, I have two whites on here, I think.
1101
01:09:50.170 --> 01:09:51.489
From what I can see so far.
1102
01:09:52.979 --> 01:09:59.460
And this is probably their most popular song. But this
1103
01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:03.600
song is absolutely magic. The way that it ebbs, the
1104
01:10:03.619 --> 01:10:07.350
way that it flows, the feelings it evokes. And that
1105
01:10:07.390 --> 01:10:09.409
would be Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
1106
01:10:10.710 --> 01:10:13.270
Is this the real life?
1107
01:10:14.409 --> 01:10:32.500
Is this just fantasies? Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
1108
01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:40.739
And the guitar solos. It's a beautiful, layered song. And
1109
01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:44.060
I said, it's some kind of magic, nigga. I don't
1110
01:10:44.109 --> 01:10:45.729
know what kind it is, but it's some kind.
1111
01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:48.819
If it's magic.
1112
01:10:50.659 --> 01:10:51.199
I believe that.
1113
01:10:51.220 --> 01:10:55.630
Can it be everlasting?
1114
01:10:57.789 --> 01:11:00.710
I have a couple more. I have a lot more.
1115
01:11:00.729 --> 01:11:09.229
Let me not lie. Moving along. So my next song is,
1116
01:11:12.119 --> 01:11:15.649
it's kind of funny. And the reason why I chose
1117
01:11:15.770 --> 01:11:19.550
it is because, like, when you hear it, you'll know
1118
01:11:19.609 --> 01:11:23.470
the song. Or you'll have heard the sample. But the
1119
01:11:23.510 --> 01:11:26.220
way he sings the song, the original, the way he
1120
01:11:26.229 --> 01:11:28.300
sings the song, it sounds like a spell. Because it's like,
1121
01:11:28.340 --> 01:11:33.079
I can't believe this is a real song. But the
1122
01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:35.520
song is called We Get the News. It is by
1123
01:11:35.619 --> 01:11:37.859
Steve Arrington's Hall of Fame.
1124
01:11:53.659 --> 01:11:55.420
That is my motherfucking jam.
1125
01:11:55.460 --> 01:11:56.220
Do you hear me?
1126
01:11:56.239 --> 01:12:00.199
It got me awake at the next. Hey, that is
1127
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:03.970
my jam.
1128
01:12:06.409 --> 01:12:06.890
Okay.
1129
01:12:08.609 --> 01:12:15.100
You know... Do I have anything in that vein before
1130
01:12:15.140 --> 01:12:23.720
I go in this direction? Kind of, actually. It's also
1131
01:12:23.760 --> 01:12:25.840
a love spell. A lot of songs are love spells.
1132
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:34.560
And this lady, we love this lady, actually.
1133
01:12:34.619 --> 01:12:36.069
I feel like we talked about her a little bit
1134
01:12:36.090 --> 01:12:36.529
last week.
1135
01:12:36.569 --> 01:12:37.130
Maybe we did.
1136
01:12:37.649 --> 01:12:38.149
Yes, we did.
1137
01:12:38.210 --> 01:12:38.670
Yes, we did.
1138
01:12:39.430 --> 01:12:43.420
We actually started this whole playlist off with her. But
1139
01:12:44.380 --> 01:12:50.989
there's something about them little jokes. Shante Moore's love's taking over.
1140
01:13:08.350 --> 01:13:13.189
Is a black love spell. Now that love's taking over.
1141
01:13:13.670 --> 01:13:15.189
That's a black love spell song.
1142
01:13:20.029 --> 01:13:22.840
I got a lot of backlash last week.
1143
01:13:22.859 --> 01:13:25.420
Why?
1144
01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:29.579
Because of my gratuitous of the word hog.
1145
01:13:30.260 --> 01:13:35.729
Yeah, nigga, it's gross. It's disgusting and I hated it.
1146
01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:44.189
And number two, apparently you lot really, really like Way U,
1147
01:13:44.810 --> 01:13:48.550
you know? Yeah, we love Way U. Oh, they hate
1148
01:13:48.930 --> 01:13:54.250
what you did to it? Yeah. And over the years,
1149
01:13:54.310 --> 01:13:57.729
I've gotten, you know, hate about why I hate the song.
1150
01:13:58.409 --> 01:14:02.500
Wait, do you hate Way U? Yes, nigga, I hate
1151
01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:03.159
this song.
1152
01:14:03.340 --> 01:14:07.420
Why would I have this visceral emotion or reaction if
1153
01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:08.300
I didn't like the song?
1154
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:11.329
I thought you just hated Babyface. I didn't realize you
1155
01:14:11.390 --> 01:14:12.010
hated Babyface.
1156
01:14:12.029 --> 01:14:15.750
No, I love Babyface. And now, after the post-discussion, I
1157
01:14:15.789 --> 01:14:18.779
don't love him anymore. I think he's a talented guy.
1158
01:14:20.939 --> 01:14:24.760
He is a talented guy. And also, I'm not letting
1159
01:14:24.779 --> 01:14:27.539
these niggas walk. I'm not dying on nobody's hill.
1160
01:14:27.560 --> 01:14:28.680
I worked for L.A.
1161
01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:29.000
Reid.
1162
01:14:29.119 --> 01:14:31.340
So I can say with full fucking conviction.
1163
01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:34.159
I watched the deal on Cadillac Confessions the other day.
1164
01:14:35.100 --> 01:14:37.619
So I know those niggas are guilty. And is he
1165
01:14:37.649 --> 01:14:38.409
very talented?
1166
01:14:38.449 --> 01:14:38.689
Yes.
1167
01:14:39.229 --> 01:14:42.729
Do you know at all this time, I thought you
1168
01:14:42.770 --> 01:14:44.890
thought it was ridiculous, but I didn't think you hated it.
1169
01:14:46.020 --> 01:14:49.979
No, I hate the song. It makes me uncomfortable. It's weird.
1170
01:14:50.840 --> 01:14:54.079
It's not a real song. I don't like it.
1171
01:14:54.819 --> 01:14:57.640
So do.
1172
01:14:58.319 --> 01:15:00.300
You not consider it scatting?
1173
01:15:03.220 --> 01:15:06.159
No. Damn. Damn. You know what?
1174
01:15:06.260 --> 01:15:08.739
No, we're moving on because I made that too easy.
1175
01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:10.039
And....
1176
01:15:11.699 --> 01:15:16.170
Anyway. On the nose with Jadavon James.
1177
01:15:17.949 --> 01:15:21.010
No pun intended with Jadavon James.
1178
01:15:21.649 --> 01:15:24.750
Well, my next song is Mishanda's Back at the Club
1179
01:15:24.789 --> 01:15:31.100
because there's no way you could have told me that
1180
01:15:31.180 --> 01:15:34.359
that was supposed to be successful without magic.
1181
01:15:34.420 --> 01:15:34.489
Woo!
1182
01:15:44.920 --> 01:15:46.760
I love the way we dance in the back of
1183
01:15:46.779 --> 01:15:48.600
the club, but you know you.
1184
01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:53.170
Drive me crazy. Okay, then my next selection is Candice,
1185
01:15:53.250 --> 01:15:56.250
Don't Think I'm Not, because that's a nigga humbling spell.
1186
01:15:56.890 --> 01:16:17.289
Yeah. Yeah. When you're out in.
1187
01:16:17.289 --> 01:16:18.890
The club, don't think I'm not.
1188
01:16:18.909 --> 01:16:20.300
Don't think I'm not.
1189
01:16:20.470 --> 01:16:25.109
And when you're out making love, don't think I'm not.
1190
01:16:25.180 --> 01:16:30.899
Pause. We haven't even discussed Todd's sad divorce.
1191
01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:34.220
No, because we're not going to. No, because I don't
1192
01:16:34.239 --> 01:16:34.460
want Zeus.
1193
01:16:36.689 --> 01:16:39.970
Can't date these niggas in Atlanta or can't date these men.
1194
01:16:40.010 --> 01:16:43.430
Don't leave your man alone in Atlanta.com or whatever.
1195
01:16:44.170 --> 01:16:47.640
Between that and Boosie's 60 Minutes, I was like, no,
1196
01:16:47.729 --> 01:16:50.380
it's time. This is God's message to me to get
1197
01:16:50.439 --> 01:16:51.039
off the internet.
1198
01:16:51.079 --> 01:16:54.479
I watched it yesterday. Indefinitely. Entire team with Jim and
1199
01:16:54.500 --> 01:16:55.359
Nikki yesterday.
1200
01:16:55.819 --> 01:16:57.079
So when's he going to jail?
1201
01:16:59.699 --> 01:17:02.159
He's not, which is crazy. Okay.
1202
01:17:02.199 --> 01:17:03.560
When's somebody else going to jail?
1203
01:17:04.619 --> 01:17:09.579
No, wait, I have four sons! Well, let me tell
1204
01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:13.720
you what happened in those 60 minutes. So, like, apparently
1205
01:17:13.840 --> 01:17:21.819
there are... Yeah. Apparently there are brokers, DK, that will
1206
01:17:21.890 --> 01:17:28.409
help broker your pardon. So, in Bootsy's case, he paid $ 600, 000
1207
01:17:28.310 --> 01:17:37.189
to these lawyers or whomever... to get his case in
1208
01:17:37.350 --> 01:17:41.409
front of the president so he can get either clemency
1209
01:17:41.810 --> 01:17:48.699
or a pardon. And the lawyers are like, oh, we're
1210
01:17:48.939 --> 01:17:53.020
agents of pardons and stuff like that. We get this
1211
01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:56.890
shit in front of the president. We have influencers to
1212
01:17:56.899 --> 01:17:59.170
put pressure on the president to sign and all this
1213
01:17:59.189 --> 01:18:02.579
good stuff. Do you know how much it is to, like,
1214
01:18:02.819 --> 01:18:05.600
in general for a pardon, like, thing?
1215
01:18:06.500 --> 01:18:06.979
How much?
1216
01:18:08.199 --> 01:18:15.180
A postage stamp. Like, you literally print out a form. Yes,
1217
01:18:15.199 --> 01:18:19.380
you should have attorneys, but that's outside of the thing, right? But, like,
1218
01:18:19.479 --> 01:18:23.270
to file for clemency and all that, you only need
1219
01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:26.470
a stamp and an envelope. You print it out. You
1220
01:18:26.659 --> 01:18:29.010
type blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and then you send
1221
01:18:29.050 --> 01:18:34.319
it off. So he got ripped off over half a
1222
01:18:34.359 --> 01:18:40.399
million dollars, Boosie did, because that case was never going
1223
01:18:40.439 --> 01:18:44.729
to sit in front of the president. There was this
1224
01:18:44.789 --> 01:18:49.949
white couple who did some sting investigative reporting for 60 Minutes.
1225
01:18:51.159 --> 01:18:54.539
Because this guy was looking for a presidential pardon for
1226
01:18:54.659 --> 01:18:59.090
some weird shit he was doing with animals. But then
1227
01:18:59.189 --> 01:19:06.409
they wanted him to pay $ 300, 000 or whatever. And then
1228
01:19:06.449 --> 01:19:08.390
they exposed him and were like, oh, we're on the
1229
01:19:08.430 --> 01:19:10.640
take for 60 minutes. And so then they ended up
1230
01:19:10.649 --> 01:19:12.939
doing an interview with 60 Minutes because they're like, oh,
1231
01:19:13.399 --> 01:19:15.579
you gooped us. And they were like, yeah, so you're
1232
01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:19.239
here now, so talk to us. So yeah, it is
1233
01:19:19.300 --> 01:19:25.020
a big scheme that Todd set up to make more
1234
01:19:25.119 --> 01:19:33.380
money off of... I don't want to say vulnerable people. Uh-huh.
1235
01:19:33.479 --> 01:19:35.760
Because I don't know if I want to call that
1236
01:19:35.819 --> 01:19:55.170
nigga vulnerable. But... Yeah, that's the facts. Okay. Okay. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah.
1237
01:19:55.569 --> 01:20:01.659
We need a full... I need a full breakdown. Jolo
1238
01:20:01.739 --> 01:20:03.319
style you know what I mean.
1239
01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:08.859
I mean I told you if you watch that it's
1240
01:20:08.939 --> 01:20:11.699
exactly what happened to the thing but yes you should watch.
1241
01:20:11.579 --> 01:20:14.560
It so this is the Todd shit not the Bootsy.
1242
01:20:14.220 --> 01:20:18.239
Shit I'm talking about the Bootsy shit Todd shit is
1243
01:20:18.300 --> 01:20:23.810
about divorce and leaving Candy and having Apollo Nida and
1244
01:20:24.609 --> 01:20:28.930
Peter on his show Bootsy was on CBS 60 minutes
1245
01:20:29.130 --> 01:20:33.539
being an asshole Well, he wasn't being an asshole. He
1246
01:20:33.560 --> 01:20:35.460
was more so, like, just sharing his story. And I
1247
01:20:35.560 --> 01:20:39.060
also realized that Bootsy may wear weave or a wig.
1248
01:20:39.079 --> 01:20:48.109
Because that... There was a lot of, like... So, like,
1249
01:20:48.430 --> 01:20:51.329
I know there's niggas who always have a fade. And,
1250
01:20:51.350 --> 01:20:54.890
you know, it's always tightened and kept up fresh and things.
1251
01:20:56.130 --> 01:21:02.989
But in this particular interview... It looked very like Steve Harvey-ish.
1252
01:21:03.750 --> 01:21:07.609
He definitely has dentures or something. But also, let's see.
1253
01:21:08.260 --> 01:21:20.300
Oh, he got... Yeah, he got... Teeth. This... Oh. And
1254
01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:23.560
it's not even about the hairline. No, this... Look towards
1255
01:21:23.619 --> 01:21:28.680
the back how... And what made me pay attention... Was because,
1256
01:21:28.699 --> 01:21:30.390
you know, Maino has a weave now.
1257
01:21:31.090 --> 01:21:32.189
Oh, does he?
1258
01:21:32.810 --> 01:21:35.670
Yeah. And he talks about it proudly, which, you know.
1259
01:21:35.689 --> 01:21:37.350
I love that. Go off.
1260
01:21:37.390 --> 01:21:39.409
Yeah, this is a piece. This is a piece.
1261
01:21:39.609 --> 01:21:39.989
Yeah.
1262
01:21:40.050 --> 01:21:41.130
With a little Beijing.
1263
01:21:42.510 --> 01:21:42.970
Yes.
1264
01:21:43.109 --> 01:21:43.470
Yeah.
1265
01:21:43.550 --> 01:21:45.970
And that's what Jimenica was like. It's the little Jing
1266
01:21:46.029 --> 01:21:48.760
Jing that set it off to make it seem all together.
1267
01:21:48.819 --> 01:21:51.640
Yeah. That's the blending.
1268
01:21:53.380 --> 01:21:54.260
You know what I'm saying?
1269
01:21:54.340 --> 01:21:55.619
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
1270
01:21:56.020 --> 01:21:56.409
Yes. Yes.
1271
01:21:57.010 --> 01:22:00.289
Okay, well, I still have no remorse. He's transphobic, but.
1272
01:22:01.710 --> 01:22:05.479
Oh, yeah, he could choke on a sea of dicks, but,
1273
01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:08.979
you know. But that was it. Let's take a break.
1274
01:22:09.039 --> 01:22:09.340
Yeah.
1275
01:22:10.199 --> 01:22:12.359
And we'll go back to more music.
1276
01:22:12.520 --> 01:22:13.659
Yeah.
1277
01:22:14.560 --> 01:22:15.720
Hit it, Claude.
1278
01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:19.720
After these messages, we'll be right back.
1279
01:22:22.810 --> 01:22:26.750
But the good news is that there is so much
1280
01:22:26.970 --> 01:22:29.930
information out there nowadays in the form of books and
1281
01:22:30.050 --> 01:22:34.600
courses that both members of a group and solo practitioners
1282
01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:38.600
can really reach the same degree of accomplishment in their
1283
01:22:38.720 --> 01:22:41.560
own time and in their preferred way.
1284
01:22:41.619 --> 01:22:50.300
Hey, we're back. A hodgepodge today of spells and If
1285
01:22:50.340 --> 01:22:53.960
you're on the Patreon, you get a special extended edition
1286
01:22:54.010 --> 01:22:59.770
of this episode where we have a conversation about XD's
1287
01:22:59.829 --> 01:23:06.989
internal homophobia. Oh.
1288
01:23:07.909 --> 01:23:12.100
You too are capable, sir, of change. A woman capable
1289
01:23:12.140 --> 01:23:14.619
of change. Uh....
1290
01:23:19.850 --> 01:23:27.819
A woman who was staunch in her beliefs. So my
1291
01:23:27.840 --> 01:23:34.699
next song... I don't know if we ever have brought
1292
01:23:34.739 --> 01:23:41.199
them up. There's had to be a way. Maybe one song.
1293
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:48.729
But when I thought about them, I was like... I
1294
01:23:48.750 --> 01:23:52.109
was like, oh, they're like Black Simon and Garfunkel. Because
1295
01:23:52.170 --> 01:23:56.529
apparently they got beef, apparently. I don't know. Okay. But...
1296
01:23:58.470 --> 01:24:22.399
Do Why Diddy by Zap. They got a beat? Why
1297
01:24:22.460 --> 01:24:25.720
is Roger and Zapp, are they not fucking with each other?
1298
01:24:26.159 --> 01:24:29.239
Why is everything separated? Back in the day, it all
1299
01:24:29.319 --> 01:24:31.720
used to say Roger and Zapp on my thing. Now
1300
01:24:31.819 --> 01:24:35.520
it's some are Rogers, some are Zapp. Just like Simon
1301
01:24:35.560 --> 01:24:40.149
and Garfunkel. Some are Simon, some are Garfunkel.
1302
01:24:40.289 --> 01:24:44.510
Maybe it's who wrote what to Rogers and Zapp.
1303
01:24:44.779 --> 01:24:48.680
Maybe that's it and I'm just stoking beef because homosexuality.
1304
01:24:48.779 --> 01:24:51.760
But like, you know. Oh.
1305
01:24:55.770 --> 01:24:55.989
Oh.

out why stuff is credited differently. Murder, suicide in 99. Anyway.

01:26:59.390 --> 01:27:17.149
Yo, a moose is crazy. That is fucking insane. That
1332
01:27:17.250 --> 01:27:22.970

01:28:34.859 --> 01:28:37.710
It's your turn. Go ahead. I don't even know how to.
1353
01:28:37.729 --> 01:28:38.470
Follow that up.
1354
01:28:39.489 --> 01:28:39.630
Um.
1355
01:28:40.510 --> 01:28:48.489
Mmm ooh I don't even mmm okay you know what
1356
01:28:49.479 --> 01:28:55.300
mm-mm that's a bad segway but I'll just let it
1357
01:28:55.319 --> 01:29:01.920
speak for his itself um Pagan Poetry by Bjork.
1358
01:29:20.430 --> 01:29:24.090
Ah, Bjork. I don't know what to do.
1359
01:29:24.109 --> 01:29:26.729
What?
1360
01:29:27.170 --> 01:29:27.710
What?
1361
01:29:28.949 --> 01:29:29.170
What?
1362
01:29:32.550 --> 01:29:34.930
Sometimes I work up my Bjork accent. Is that your
1363
01:29:34.949 --> 01:29:35.729
Bjork accent?
1364
01:29:36.369 --> 01:29:40.170
That was rotten. Is that what you think Bjork sounds like?
1365
01:29:41.069 --> 01:29:44.210
Yeah. She talks like a baby.
1366
01:29:44.229 --> 01:29:52.130
I used her because her music sometimes, who I love Bjork,
1367
01:29:52.189 --> 01:29:53.250
let me be very clear.
1368
01:29:53.550 --> 01:29:55.380
I'm talking about her speaking voice, not her life. I'm
1369
01:29:55.399 --> 01:29:56.899
talking about her as a personality.
1370
01:29:56.920 --> 01:29:59.420
Sometimes the music gives Musu, you know what I'm saying?
1371
01:29:59.479 --> 01:30:03.109
Like, Oh, yeah. You know it. Yeah.
1372
01:30:03.949 --> 01:30:09.329
It's like, Dying for the one who loves you.
1373
01:30:09.899 --> 01:30:10.260
You know.
1374
01:30:10.479 --> 01:30:14.939
I'm going hunting. I watched this video the other day.
1375
01:30:14.960 --> 01:30:16.640
This white boy, he was like, this is what Bjork
1376
01:30:16.659 --> 01:30:19.939
would sound like if she said random objects. And it
1377
01:30:19.979 --> 01:30:23.819
was like, Glasses on my face.
1378
01:30:24.760 --> 01:30:26.279
Red device.
1379
01:30:26.380 --> 01:30:33.319
But it was an umbrella. Yeah. Ray DeVice from the future.
1380
01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:51.329
Ray DeVice. Oh, who you got? My next song, I believe,
1381
01:30:51.350 --> 01:30:53.750
is the actual love spell.
1382
01:30:53.949 --> 01:30:54.489
Oh.
1383
01:30:56.000 --> 01:30:59.119
I believe, like, it's some freak nasty love spell. When
1384
01:30:59.159 --> 01:31:02.810
I tell you who's in it, you're going to be like, okay,
1385
01:31:03.310 --> 01:31:09.550
it probably is. Okay. But it's a song. It's Kehlani,
1386
01:31:09.890 --> 01:31:14.109
Jill Scott, and Young Miko. And the song is called Sustia.
1387
01:31:15.109 --> 01:31:23.460
Come with me, come with me. Came across an oasis
1388
01:31:23.579 --> 01:31:24.579
in a Mojave.
1389
01:31:26.000 --> 01:31:29.779
Following the instructions of your body.
1390
01:31:29.979 --> 01:31:31.810
It's about fucking. Okay.
1391
01:31:32.239 --> 01:31:35.350
Jill Scott be doing fucking spells in her music. That's
1392
01:31:35.390 --> 01:31:38.390
why she deep-throated that microphone during that show that time.
1393
01:31:39.069 --> 01:31:40.050
Mm-hmm.
1394
01:31:41.109 --> 01:31:47.989
Kehlani, I think, she practices ifa, I think.
1395
01:31:48.489 --> 01:31:51.399
Them bisexual love spells on her music.
1396
01:31:51.449 --> 01:31:51.680
Oh, shit.
1397
01:31:52.619 --> 01:31:54.000
All the queer girls.
1398
01:31:54.020 --> 01:31:54.479
Yeah.
1399
01:31:54.539 --> 01:31:55.699
They are all into Carolina.
1400
01:31:55.720 --> 01:31:58.399
But I don't remember that being a thing before. I
1401
01:31:58.439 --> 01:31:59.699
think there was a summoning.
1402
01:31:59.859 --> 01:32:02.069
No, she grew the hair out, and all of a sudden,
1403
01:32:02.250 --> 01:32:05.529
it's just... And I'm for it. Yeah, no, no, no.
1404
01:32:05.550 --> 01:32:08.029
She's a gorgeous girl. Gorgeous, gorgeous.
1405
01:32:08.149 --> 01:32:11.250
And I know she's always been queer, but I've just seen...
1406
01:32:11.170 --> 01:32:15.100
This latest album, there's been a lot of ladies who
1407
01:32:15.140 --> 01:32:22.649
love lady energy. Okay, okay. And... Which I prefer, honestly. Yes, obviously.
1408
01:32:22.729 --> 01:32:26.649
Yes, we've had these conversations.
1409
01:32:27.189 --> 01:32:28.770
But yeah, when I listened to the song, I was like,
1410
01:32:28.829 --> 01:32:33.310
this sounds like some weird, you putting shit around a
1411
01:32:33.350 --> 01:32:40.899
bed and doing this a lot. I don't know what
1412
01:32:40.939 --> 01:32:41.359
that means.
1413
01:32:44.619 --> 01:32:48.819
And again, I definitely think Jill Scott's been doing fucking
1414
01:32:48.859 --> 01:32:53.430
spells since since Honeymore last time right since the baby
1415
01:32:53.449 --> 01:32:54.510
fro like I.
1416
01:32:54.630 --> 01:32:59.229
Feel like since she was you know taking long walks
1417
01:32:59.529 --> 01:33:03.149
I feel like Jill has been doing she you know
1418
01:33:03.170 --> 01:33:05.609
she been she been she been putting shit in her
1419
01:33:05.670 --> 01:33:07.600
grits and I you know and I love that for
1420
01:33:07.640 --> 01:33:09.380
her um.
1421
01:33:11.800 --> 01:33:16.180
Okay I'm gonna do a repeat offender before I do
1422
01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:18.119
this will be my third to last.
1423
01:33:22.279 --> 01:33:24.899
You all know I've talked about this song often. I
1424
01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:26.640
have it tattooed here.
1425
01:33:30.430 --> 01:33:35.189
There is something so mesmerizing in the melodies of this
1426
01:33:35.250 --> 01:33:40.029
song and the harmonizing and in the airiness of the
1427
01:33:40.109 --> 01:33:41.829
music and all of the things.
1428
01:33:43.789 --> 01:34:03.949
But it's heat waves, star of a story. Yeah, I
1429
01:34:03.970 --> 01:34:06.729
know that is always going to, I'm going to incorporate
1430
01:34:06.750 --> 01:34:09.810
that into every list ever for the rest of time.
1431
01:34:10.479 --> 01:34:15.020
But it really is a truly very magical song. So yes,
1432
01:34:15.039 --> 01:34:18.310
Star of a Story by Heat Wave. Or the star
1433
01:34:18.369 --> 01:34:21.140
of a story if you're looking for it to put
1434
01:34:21.189 --> 01:34:22.069
on your list.
1435
01:34:26.899 --> 01:34:32.180
Remember how I said I only had one white group? Well,
1436
01:34:32.199 --> 01:34:36.140
I lied. And this is because I forgot that they
1437
01:34:36.199 --> 01:34:42.630
weren't black. And technically, only the lead is white and
1438
01:34:42.710 --> 01:34:46.569
everybody else is black. And I just recently discovered this
1439
01:34:48.409 --> 01:34:52.829
two days ago when I was watching. The Samsung TV
1440
01:34:52.890 --> 01:34:56.930
channels are so tea, let me tell you. But they
1441
01:34:56.970 --> 01:35:00.229
have music video channels on. They have like 70 soul,
1442
01:35:00.869 --> 01:35:04.600
and they play like performances and shit. And this came on,
1443
01:35:04.680 --> 01:35:07.399
and me and Chris were like, there's a white man
1444
01:35:07.420 --> 01:35:12.199
in this group? Really? But my next song is Get
1445
01:35:12.319 --> 01:35:13.279
Off by Foxy.
1446
01:35:29.659 --> 01:35:30.909
There's a white man in that group?
1447
01:35:32.170 --> 01:35:33.350
Yep. In the front.
1448
01:35:35.329 --> 01:35:35.670
Hmm.
1449
01:35:35.970 --> 01:35:41.810
Actually, how many? One, two... Oh, there's more than that. Okay,
1450
01:35:41.850 --> 01:35:51.300
we're here. Get off. Okay.
1451
01:35:52.000 --> 01:35:53.659
Well, I'm glad you went in that direction.
1452
01:35:55.010 --> 01:36:00.529
Because my second-to-last... It's a medley of songs by one
1453
01:36:00.600 --> 01:36:02.090
particular group who.
1454
01:36:05.960 --> 01:36:10.800
When you brought me this idea for this playlist based
1455
01:36:10.899 --> 01:36:13.270
off of... Who originally shared it with us? I want
1456
01:36:13.279 --> 01:36:16.350
to make sure I give them their credit again. Room2Grow
1457
01:36:16.569 --> 01:36:18.189
underscore on Instagram.
1458
01:36:18.289 --> 01:36:19.470
Yes, Room2Grow.
1459
01:36:19.529 --> 01:36:24.750
Thank you so much. I had another idea for a playlist. Basically,
1460
01:36:24.789 --> 01:36:26.069
just for actual.
1461
01:36:27.680 --> 01:36:28.619
Magician Witches.
1462
01:36:30.359 --> 01:36:33.739
And I only had two artists on it so far
1463
01:36:33.819 --> 01:36:36.409
as I was building it. And they were the very
1464
01:36:36.630 --> 01:36:40.149
first artists that I put on this playlist. So thank
1465
01:36:40.189 --> 01:36:44.750
you for helping us to expound on that in a
1466
01:36:44.789 --> 01:36:46.550
way where we can incorporate so much more.
1467
01:36:46.890 --> 01:36:49.649
But it is Earth, Wind & Fire. If you thought
1468
01:36:49.689 --> 01:36:51.840
we weren't going to do this playlist and there wasn't
1469
01:36:51.859 --> 01:36:54.420
going to be any Earth, Wind & Fire, it wouldn't
1470
01:36:54.460 --> 01:36:55.119
even be right.
1471
01:36:55.840 --> 01:37:01.350
Earth, Wind & Fire... is made up of deep Negro
1472
01:37:01.390 --> 01:37:05.979
magic in so many ways. They were very overt with
1473
01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:09.359
it and covert with it. Sometimes it was just through
1474
01:37:09.380 --> 01:37:11.140
the music. Sometimes these niggas.
1475
01:37:11.619 --> 01:37:15.220
You had Christian Black people who was like, oh, we're
1476
01:37:15.239 --> 01:37:17.500
not going to them concerts because they'd be levitating on
1477
01:37:17.539 --> 01:37:20.619
the stage. You know what I'm saying? They was demonic
1478
01:37:20.689 --> 01:37:21.590
to some niggas.
1479
01:37:22.350 --> 01:37:26.970
But you cannot deny that there is magic In that music.
1480
01:37:27.010 --> 01:37:28.989
And so I have a few selections from Earth, Wind
1481
01:37:29.079 --> 01:37:29.489
& Fire.
1482
01:37:29.510 --> 01:37:29.590
Okay.
1483
01:37:31.310 --> 01:37:35.710
One of the obvious first ones being Fantasy. Because the
1484
01:37:35.770 --> 01:37:41.199
way that that says... That right there already is setting
1485
01:37:41.220 --> 01:37:42.460
a magical tone, okay?
1486
01:37:43.439 --> 01:37:47.130
Then we've got Sun Goddess. Because you can't tell me the.
1487
01:37:55.199 --> 01:37:59.020
That's a chant, nigga, okay? That's a chant. And Sun Goddess,
1488
01:37:59.239 --> 01:38:01.720
that's about black women. Any song about black women is
1489
01:38:01.899 --> 01:38:02.899
a magical song.
1490
01:38:03.680 --> 01:38:05.939
The next song on my list from them.
1491
01:38:07.579 --> 01:38:12.640
Is, I feel, a self-sustaining type of song.
1492
01:38:12.840 --> 01:38:20.250
It's a speaking life and power into self type of song,
1493
01:38:20.550 --> 01:38:22.029
type of spell song.
1494
01:38:23.109 --> 01:38:28.409
And that would be, you are enough as well. You
1495
01:38:28.489 --> 01:38:31.979
are enough as well. that would be earth wind and
1496
01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:53.670
fires be ever wonderful That is a magical motherfucking song.
1497
01:38:53.729 --> 01:38:57.529
Them niggas said, time is right for you tonight. Find
1498
01:38:57.590 --> 01:38:59.890
your place among the broad daylight.
1499
01:39:00.350 --> 01:39:04.470
Later on, they said, time is right in your life tonight. Nigga,
1500
01:39:04.510 --> 01:39:09.590
you are where you're supposed to be. So, be ever wonderful.
1501
01:39:10.909 --> 01:39:13.430
And then, imagination.
1502
01:39:14.470 --> 01:39:14.850
Okay?
1503
01:39:15.270 --> 01:39:18.470
Because we've got to be opening up our minds, so
1504
01:39:18.510 --> 01:39:24.310
you already know. Magic Mind, an obvious choice, but a
1505
01:39:24.369 --> 01:39:25.289
magical choice.
1506
01:39:25.750 --> 01:39:29.649
Brazilian Rhyme, that one is where it's really in the music.
1507
01:39:30.069 --> 01:39:34.149
You know what I'm saying? And In the Stone. There's
1508
01:39:34.189 --> 01:39:36.069
so many more, but that's what I was able to
1509
01:39:36.149 --> 01:39:37.170
narrow it down to.
1510
01:39:37.189 --> 01:39:39.520
You didn't even mention Devotion.
1511
01:39:39.600 --> 01:39:42.579
No, nigga, because literally, I was like, I'm going to
1512
01:39:42.600 --> 01:39:46.539
try to pick not all the obvious. Some of them are, though. Fantasy,
1513
01:39:46.579 --> 01:39:49.279
you have to put on there. But devotion.
1514
01:39:51.039 --> 01:40:03.489
Mm. So, um, my, my second to my last song
1515
01:40:03.510 --> 01:40:07.430
is you actually mentioned a song from the same album
1516
01:40:07.489 --> 01:40:16.489
last week. Uh, I want you. But this song, I
1517
01:40:16.869 --> 01:40:19.590
thought was appropriate since we also.
1518
01:40:24.199 --> 01:40:26.720
Shout out to the listener or the Patreon user who
1519
01:40:26.779 --> 01:40:29.810
realized that we didn't really watch the final episode of Power.
1520
01:40:29.859 --> 01:40:32.010
We watched the first episode of Power. It didn't pay
1521
01:40:32.029 --> 01:40:33.449
attention that it wasn't the first.
1522
01:40:33.689 --> 01:40:36.869
That's why it was so boring. Because they'd be building
1523
01:40:36.930 --> 01:40:39.189
and shit. I was like, damn, I don't remember this
1524
01:40:39.210 --> 01:40:41.189
shit being in this motherfucking bar.
1525
01:40:41.250 --> 01:40:46.130
Yeah. They were like, shout out to niggas being so high.
1526
01:40:46.189 --> 01:40:48.149
They didn't realize that they watched the pilot and not
1527
01:40:48.170 --> 01:40:49.069
the last episode.
1528
01:40:51.729 --> 01:40:54.630
Oh, incredibly.
1529
01:40:55.189 --> 01:41:00.590
My next song is Marvin Gaye's Come Live With Me, Angel.
1530
01:41:01.569 --> 01:41:07.369
I want to be.
1531
01:41:08.779 --> 01:41:09.659
A lover.
1532
01:41:17.819 --> 01:41:21.979
I want to just spend it, baby. I want to
1533
01:41:22.020 --> 01:41:23.920
be a lover. Okay, I told you.
1534
01:41:24.359 --> 01:41:26.520
That song's magical to me because I sang it to
1535
01:41:26.579 --> 01:41:31.079
Noah in my belly every day. And I told you
1536
01:41:31.100 --> 01:41:33.560
I would change the lyrics to I want to be
1537
01:41:33.579 --> 01:41:34.760
your mother because yuck.
1538
01:41:35.220 --> 01:41:37.470
But I'm like, I want to be your mother. That
1539
01:41:37.510 --> 01:41:40.850
was my song for my girl. Oh, I love that.
1540
01:41:40.869 --> 01:41:41.829
That's very sweet.
1541
01:41:42.810 --> 01:41:43.710
Okay.
1542
01:41:44.369 --> 01:41:47.880
Okay. Yes. Are you ready for your last song?
1543
01:41:48.520 --> 01:41:52.039
I'm ready for my last song. And then I'm going
1544
01:41:52.060 --> 01:41:54.479
to do an honorable mention for the patrons really quick.
1545
01:41:54.640 --> 01:41:58.180
But I wanted to end this with a lady. And
1546
01:41:59.880 --> 01:42:03.720
her other half for a period of time gets so
1547
01:42:03.840 --> 01:42:06.130
much credit and so much.
1548
01:42:07.470 --> 01:42:08.970
Respect, as they should.
1549
01:42:09.750 --> 01:42:15.449
But this lady here is pure magic with her instrument.
1550
01:42:16.409 --> 01:42:20.529
And that has to come from something deeply internal. And
1551
01:42:20.649 --> 01:42:25.550
so it was hard to pick a song, but I'm
1552
01:42:25.569 --> 01:42:30.409
going to go with Alice Coltrane's Tariya and Ramakrishna.
1553
01:42:32.250 --> 01:42:32.850
Mmm.
1554
01:42:32.909 --> 01:42:32.979
Mmm.
1555
01:42:48.130 --> 01:42:53.489
That lady and her harp, I mean, that is literal
1556
01:42:53.550 --> 01:42:56.260
bippity-boppity-boo in real time.
1557
01:42:56.479 --> 01:42:59.180
Like, that is a magic wand, her with that harp.
1558
01:43:00.119 --> 01:43:03.460
So I wanted to make sure that my last selection, personally,
1559
01:43:04.359 --> 01:43:07.319
was a Black woman. And I feel like she is
1560
01:43:07.380 --> 01:43:11.979
pure magic, Alice Coltrane. And Tariya is spelled T-U-R-I-Y-A. I
1561
01:43:12.840 --> 01:43:15.140
don't even know if I'm saying that right, but that's my...
1562
01:43:15.600 --> 01:43:18.979
There's so many selections, but that song just... It just
1563
01:43:19.020 --> 01:43:20.350
does something to my spirit.
1564
01:43:23.409 --> 01:43:29.529
Well, my last song. I'm going to end with a woman.
1565
01:43:29.550 --> 01:43:31.029
Okay. This song is.
1566
01:43:37.630 --> 01:43:40.470
Interesting because I don't think I've ever put her on
1567
01:43:40.529 --> 01:43:41.489
a playlist before.
1568
01:43:41.510 --> 01:43:44.109
Mm-hmm.
1569
01:43:46.479 --> 01:43:54.180
It's a non-English song. Mm-hmm. And, you know, I'll tell you, like,
1570
01:43:54.319 --> 01:43:57.199
this lady, she's so interesting because she has an interesting,
1571
01:43:57.779 --> 01:44:01.439
she sits at an interesting intersection in her nationalities.
1572
01:44:01.600 --> 01:44:03.050
Mm-hmm.
1573
01:44:03.390 --> 01:44:09.039
Where, you know, she is Colombian and Lebanese. Mm-hmm. So
1574
01:44:09.079 --> 01:44:13.590
in this song, you get both Spanish and Middle Eastern
1575
01:44:13.609 --> 01:44:22.560
type vibes. So my very, very last song from MTV's Unplugged, Shakira,
1576
01:44:23.020 --> 01:44:23.779
Ojos Así.
1577
01:44:23.920 --> 01:44:28.340
Ojos Así.
1578
01:44:34.899 --> 01:44:35.479
Yes, eyes.
1579
01:44:35.560 --> 01:44:36.020
Eyes like yours.
1580
01:44:36.039 --> 01:44:36.180
Okay.
1581
01:44:36.199 --> 01:44:37.619
Okay. I love that.
1582
01:44:37.640 --> 01:44:40.079
I wasn't expecting that to be your last selection.
1583
01:44:40.199 --> 01:44:43.300
I want to do a quick honorable mention to some
1584
01:44:43.340 --> 01:44:44.979
of the comments on our Patreon page.
1585
01:45:02.979 --> 01:45:05.960
For songs that feel like spells to some of our listeners,
1586
01:45:06.060 --> 01:45:09.859
Brianna Hamilton says, All Up In Your Mind by Beyonce
1587
01:45:09.880 --> 01:45:13.140
and EPW by Jasmine Sullivan are good spells.
1588
01:45:15.399 --> 01:45:20.369
Oh, thank you, Joseph. Joseph says, October is Hoodoo Heritage
1589
01:45:20.449 --> 01:45:22.029
Month and a great reason to follow up with the
1590
01:45:22.090 --> 01:45:24.590
second installment. So we are ahead of schedule.
1591
01:45:24.630 --> 01:45:24.970
Wow.
1592
01:45:26.369 --> 01:45:28.989
Maybe to usher in in the next couple of weeks.
1593
01:45:29.090 --> 01:45:31.970
But maybe we do another playlist that lends to that.
1594
01:45:32.390 --> 01:45:36.510
So thank you, Joseph. Amari Davis says, Tom's Diner takes
1595
01:45:36.550 --> 01:45:38.760
me back to as a kid walking through the city
1596
01:45:38.779 --> 01:45:42.600
with my dad. You said Tom's Diner last week. Definitely
1597
01:45:42.680 --> 01:45:46.180
a spell. I love morning. D Fit says, I love
1598
01:45:46.220 --> 01:45:49.659
Morning Sunrise. It's my alarm song. The version by Yasmin
1599
01:45:49.699 --> 01:45:52.159
Lancey is good too. I always envision it as a
1600
01:45:52.319 --> 01:45:57.520
morning opener to a black movie or TV show. We
1601
01:45:57.539 --> 01:46:00.819
discussed her last week, but Denise B says, Bad Trip,
1602
01:46:00.899 --> 01:46:02.449
Interlude by Jhene Aiko.
1603
01:46:03.970 --> 01:46:06.010
It's a Conjuring for show song.
1604
01:46:06.729 --> 01:46:08.390
I'm trying to smoke.
1605
01:46:08.970 --> 01:46:12.560
Rose L, Florence and the Machine's entire catalog. Yes, I
1606
01:46:12.899 --> 01:46:14.380
have a bunch of.
1607
01:46:15.050 --> 01:46:18.430
blow machine on on here i just didn't share i.
1608
01:46:18.430 --> 01:46:20.649
Think we can bring we can bring that back for
1609
01:46:20.710 --> 01:46:22.930
sure i'm sure there will be some other theme we
1610
01:46:22.970 --> 01:46:26.090
will think of off of off of the swede.
1611
01:46:26.229 --> 01:46:29.289
Megan who is a great.
1612
01:46:29.100 --> 01:46:32.039
Supporter on patreon we have to give megan their props
1613
01:46:32.939 --> 01:46:37.350
um Having clicked it, but Lady Marmalade was always a
1614
01:46:37.390 --> 01:46:39.369
spell to me as a kid. Come to find out
1615
01:46:39.449 --> 01:46:41.590
it's French. Then to know they talking about, do you
1616
01:46:41.630 --> 01:46:42.649
want some coochie tonight?
1617
01:46:42.720 --> 01:46:45.859
It's crazy. And the song, beep, beep, toot, toot.
1618
01:46:47.140 --> 01:46:53.819
Yeah, honk, honk, if you cool. Oh, yeah. Beep, beep, ah, toot, toot.
1619
01:46:54.000 --> 01:46:57.680
Yeah, it's a spell. So, yes, those are some of
1620
01:46:57.720 --> 01:47:00.159
the honorable mentions from some of our patrons.
1621
01:47:00.619 --> 01:47:03.560
And that is our spells, part two. Look at us,
1622
01:47:03.619 --> 01:47:05.640
following through with something. Finishing it.
1623
01:47:06.680 --> 01:47:14.460
Yes. Women capable of completing things. Yes. Thank you all
1624
01:47:14.500 --> 01:47:17.220
for listening. Again, if you want a full version of
1625
01:47:17.260 --> 01:47:19.399
this episode, because we do have some things that we
1626
01:47:19.439 --> 01:47:23.539
take out, and go check it out on Patreon. Lovely discussion.
1627
01:47:23.859 --> 01:47:26.119
But until next time, friends, bye.
1628
01:47:26.140 --> 01:47:29.739
Yes, we're moving on.
