Transcript

Speaker 1

Top seventy five answers are on the board.

Speaker 2

Seventy time.

Speaker 1

All right, you ready, top seventy five answers are on the board. Please name for me the greatest R and B artist of all time?

Speaker 3

Ooh, Alicia Keys.

Speaker 1

You know what? That is a fantastic guess And I will tell you this. I love Alicia Keys. I love Alicia Keys. She only comes in at number thirty three, and I thought that was very very low for her, because I'm with you, I love Alicia Keys. So there are thirty two slots better than that to still guess from. But I would have thought Alicia would have been higher. I would have thought that she would have been higher as well.

Speaker 4

So is this list going to lean more classic?

Speaker 5

And that's where I am not strong? I am not strong.

Speaker 1

I am very No, it's not well, I'm looking at the top ten because R and B it's very broad. Yes, it's rhythm and blues.

Speaker 4

But also, like my mom would probably call some rappers R and B if they also sing like So that's I don't know.

Speaker 1

I don't I don't have an I don't have a problem with that. Oh.

Speaker 4

So there are some people who are on the list that may be tagged as a rapper, uh rapper or just howbout hip hop artist?

Speaker 1

No, no, nobody that you would like. For example, Kendrick Lamar is not on the list.

Speaker 4

I wouldn't put him.

Speaker 1

Yeah, no, that's true, that's true.

Speaker 4

Can I can I give you one that I feel like?

Speaker 1

Absolutely? Absolutely?

Speaker 6

Are you?

Speaker 5

I haven't memorized all seventy five minded you?

Speaker 2

Mind you?

Speaker 4

And this is this is contemporary though, and you said it leans more traditions.

Speaker 1

I got a little bit of everything. I got a little mixed bag, I got pockets full of everything.

Speaker 4

Because he threw out the first pitch for one of the bravest Mets games. So Usher's top of mine.

Speaker 1

Oh that's a great one. See. But to me, he's not a hip hop guy.

Speaker 4

Yeah, but my mom would call him a rapper, That's what I'm saying. But he definitely has a great voice.

Speaker 1

Now, I will tell you this, Usher is on the list. And I thought very high, very high.

Speaker 2

He's higher than you think he should be.

Speaker 1

Oh yes, oh yes, And maybe I don't Maybe I don't appreciate Usher as much as I should.

Speaker 4

Or do you think of him just as a pop star?

Speaker 1

No, no, I definitely don't. I definitely don't. He's number twelve. Wow, he's number twelve.

Speaker 2

Of all time.

Speaker 5

Yes, and that to me, I put that that's high. To me, that's high.

Speaker 1

I don't put him above Alicia Keys, No, Elliott, No, I'm sorry, I don't.

Speaker 4

So it is this list gonna be all over the place.

Speaker 1

It's not as all over the place as you think it is.

Speaker 4

Like the first person who came to mind. We hear twice every single day on the show, Raymond Charles number eleven. Yeah, he just edges.

Speaker 1

Out Usher, see what I mean. That's where Usher to me, is too high up on the list, too high up on the list.

Speaker 4

Do they give you, like an iconic song or are must listen on this list?

Speaker 7

Yeah?

Speaker 1

So they do. Actually, so it is it is the it is. It's it's by artists. But then they were like there, I think it's like there must know or must listen to song. For Usher, they do Confessions Part two, right, which is fine. I have no problem with that. For ray Charles George on my mind, Oh yeah, I mean great song. Yeah, that may be is that may be that may be one of his best, That may be one of his best. The I mean, that's my faith that's my fath it's much easier to talk over.

Speaker 4

No.

Speaker 1

But George, on my mind, is very good. He was eleven, he was eleven. And don't you agree Usher Usher isn't just sniffing Ray Charles's butt.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it's hard to because I'll tell you that.

Speaker 1

I'll tell you this. You know who Usher splits? Oh it was a tie for no, no, no, no, but he's just he's one behind a rat thirteen yeah, thirteen, And this is where you go. Usher's too high, Sam Cook.

Speaker 4

Oh, yeah, a change is gonna come.

Speaker 1

That's the That is their saw song. That is their song. Well, I don't know what else I would go with there. And again I'm not good at old R and B. That's not my wheelhouse.

Speaker 2

So I mean, what about like Prince?

Speaker 1

See now, I will tell you this, and I don't want to start a fight. Prince's number seven? Whoa Prince's number seven? And that is that's very disrespectful. That's low, that's very disrespectful. I would have put and I could see who's six, five, four, three, two and one are Prince? If Prince? I don't know how Prince is in top three of all time, but he's not number seven.

Speaker 4

But there's plenty of people who would say you can't just tag him as an R and B artist.

Speaker 1

Well, I mean there's people on here that you can't just tag as R and B artists because they crossed over or whatever.

Speaker 4

But that's fine, so Prince, and I'm not saying you can't be this and that. But for many people, they just think he's a rock star or pop you.

Speaker 1

Know, be R and B. That's whereight, That's where I put him. R and B is my favorite R and B artist of all time?

Speaker 4

What song did they say for him?

Speaker 1

For Prince? I want to be your lover?

Speaker 4

We start playing some of these, I'd love to. Yeah, are you gonna sing along on this Friday morning?

Speaker 1

I can. I don't know where I'm coming here. I'll just put all of these up.

Speaker 4

That was a dangerous if I have stuff running in the background.

Speaker 1

Let's wait till it stars. I think that is how it starts. What distinction does Prince have in my life? I saw a Prince in concert more than I've seen anybody else. I love R and B. Should be higher, should be higher? All right? What else you gotta tell you?

Speaker 8

How about Lionel Richie the Like poppish R and B.

Speaker 1

You know now, I will tell you this. He is on the list. He is number thirty two, one ahead of Alicia Keys. That's a damn shame. Lionel doesn't desert Commodores, who, by the way, I don't think are on the list.

Speaker 2

Oh they just put him on solo.

Speaker 1

Yes, Lionel is on the list. His song three Times a Lady, great song, great song, good grind song.

Speaker 4

Are there any groups on this list?

Speaker 9

Yeah?

Speaker 2

Like, are you gonna go back to like the classic motown?

Speaker 1

Oh?

Speaker 4

I don't like how he's tapping his pen.

Speaker 1

I'm gonna tell you right now. Maybe that's why the commodore is on on here. Yeah, R and B artists. So yeah, So that that let's eliminate groups that didn't even dawn on me when I was reading it. But let's eliminate groups. So Lionel is on there, right ahead of Alicia Keys. That's a mistake. That's a big mistake. Where am I going, Kristen like, we're not even sniffing? Line five? Hi, Elliott the morning? Hey is this me?

Speaker 10

Yeah? Hi?

Speaker 1

Who's this? It's Sandy.

Speaker 8

I was gonna say Prince also because he's my favorite, but I don't know who to go with now the yeah, and.

Speaker 1

I can I tell you who's one ahead of Prince that I just I couldn't disagree with.

Speaker 2

More, so that would be six.

Speaker 1

Well, yeah, that's one ahead who I could not I could not disagree with more.

Speaker 4

But but you know the artists.

Speaker 1

Oh yeah, oh no, I met him.

Speaker 4

Like, did you know everyone in the top ten?

Speaker 5

No, in the top ten? Yes, in the top ten?

Speaker 1

Speaker 6

Oh, have a good weekend.

Speaker 1

All you do the same, you do the same. See that's right, No, I do like I don't like Aretha at number two.

Speaker 4

This is a tough one because some people would just say like for Aretha. Hell, you can make the argument rock and roll, but soul like there rhythm blues. I know, this is a very tough genre. This this list is very interesting to me.

Speaker 1

Inch Deep Mile for her song, No for the category. Yeah, it's so wide, it's so white.

Speaker 10

No.

Speaker 2

First, now we got to think of the divas.

Speaker 1

I don't. I don't like the song they chose for him. So he is on a list for absolutely R Kelly. Yeah. R Kelly's I mean, it's hard to say now if you could separate art from artists. R Kelly is freaking great musically. Did he have some off the field issues? Of course he did, reported and he continues to g in the news this week. Yeah, they're trying to murder him, by the way. Number three is also rife with problems. O the why who do you think number three is?

Speaker 5

So one is left, four is left, six, eight and ten.

Speaker 1

Mariah number eight.

Speaker 5

Oh, I thought that was high for Mariah.

Speaker 10

God?

Speaker 2

I can't believe I miss that.

Speaker 4

I won't take away from her that she was really into it, but it was her own very white vibe.

Speaker 1

Can I tell you who came in at number seventy? Who?

Speaker 2

Oh my god?

Speaker 1

No, no, I agree.

Speaker 2

We haven't named anybody that far.

Speaker 5

We also haven't named number one.

Speaker 1

I can tell you I like, I like, I like this placement on the list. I really do A weird thing to say, because it's going to grow exponentially. I don't understand that putting putting this person at number seventy of the greatest R and B artists of all time because of how new, new, how recent they are. But will grow exponentially. And I love the artist, love the artist. I had no idea her. Oh, but don't you agree?

Speaker 4

Who was sixty nine?

Speaker 1

Oh? You know I wrote that one down.

Speaker 2

I think of her as rock the wo her.

Speaker 1

No no, no, no, no no no, spend time on YouTube the but don't you agree she'll grow exponentially.

Speaker 4

I would have been fine if she was ranked higher.

Speaker 5

I would have liked better.

Speaker 1

But I'm fine with that. At seventy, number sixty nine, say hello to Bobby Womack, which saw across one hundred and tenth Street.

Speaker 4

You know that one?

Speaker 5

I know one hundred and tenth Street.

Speaker 2

Elliott play that airbase.

Definitely not.

Speaker 4

That's how we stopped still White.

Speaker 1

No number sixty neo. Yeah, thank you, Kristen.

Speaker 4

Oh oh oh, I didn't know if she was a fan. Hold On, hold on, no, hold on, I don't know this is I'm gonna play Miss Independent, but I don't know if that's.

Speaker 1

That's that's exactly the song. You also could have gone with the collab with Pitbull.

Speaker 2

I think she's having a seizure.

Speaker 1

You know, nobody mentioned who. I thought somebody would.

Speaker 4

Campbell.

Speaker 1

And all they told Sam Milkman was don't let Teddy talk. So Sam sat down and he introduced himself and was like, hi,

mister Pendergrass, I'm I'm Sam Milkman. This is totally procedural. Don't say anything. The goal today is just let some let some new let some new part take place. This has nothing to do with the case. It's all procedural. But please and the only direction, the only direction Sam was given is don't let Teddy talk. And they started and Teddy did not like what the contractor said. And not only did Teddy speak, but Teddy unlocked his chair

and started rolling around the courtroom. Theodore, oh my god, I'm a young Sam Millfit just kept yelling, mister Pendergrass.
