Episode 184 "IF IT'S UP"

You're like, you're a fan of Hokus Pocus. Yes, I am okay, did you watch the No One? I haven't watched the one. I'm waiting to watch it. I'm waiting to watch the fact that you have your Halloween candy already like you, ma'am. Christmas decorations are at Target right now. We already to the day before. We're already pulling ours out. Yeah, we get ready perforations. How did they season up? No, we got like two kids in my building. I'm cool. Well, the BT Hip Hop Awards aired and it was left

that Joe did a good job of the ciphers. Was lit put one in right here, you know what I mean. I just feel like the BT Awards is just turning into like an influence Awards. I feel like, I'm like, why is it even hip hop anymore? You know? If the only thing you see is like the influences, It's like they're trying to highlight too much about the influences, and most are the people that the influence ain't got

no damn telling, so we don't even know what they're influenced. Well, you're seeing a whole bunch of influx of influencers on the social media part. But I do believe. I'm trying to remember, remember when we went to the BT Social Awards. Are they gonna bring that back? Because that was fine? Know the ratings were probably too low. It was online, you know, it wasn't it was it was on TV.

The BT Social Wars was fine. I'm trying to figure out how the city of Atlanta wasn't like super passing like that though, Like I remember coming up in Nightlife and BT Hip Hop Awards was remember Drake to change? Why? Well, understand, the level of talent that used to go to the BT Awards is not going to the b T Hold on now, that's not really sounded. But to see you know that they weren't really engaging in like nightlife or

like brunches or day parties like it was. There really nothing outside of just the red carpet for the taping and then that was it. I didn't see any person. I Spice for mental health, learned to distinguish who deserves an explanation, who deserves one answer, who deserves absolutely nothing nothing, Nathaniel, I love that. And if you guys don't know, that's you know, her fiancee cheated on her and she's he was the head coach. There's no right or wrong way

to be in a relationship. Whatever works for you, works for you. But he cheating on her with a you know what. Somebody told me a woman d M and said, but what if because you know they you know, they'd be going crazy. In the comments section, somebody said, what if she knew about it and she didn't mind it? And he said that I said that in one of the previous episode. That's somebody was mad at me because they was like, what do you mean? You may tell me?

I got how fine she is. Anybody get cheated on, but that's all they hurt but you know, people don't go back and listen to the whole episode. Right the little clip, you know she did pack up and leave Boston because you know she had just moved to Boston. Now she left, but what if she just got two houses? She might have got a house in l A. Don't want to be around. Oh boy, it is a big city. It's the top ten racist city. What's going on with j T and Cardi B? Man? I don't don't know

Cardy being everybody. It's like Cardi B versus everybody, because you know, first it was off BARB, then it's j T, then it's this new girl. I don't know. J T says that Cardi felt for some social media stuff that fans made up. It wasn't even a real beef, and now now it's this new girl Malibu. Mitch, Oh, I like Malibu. She's fired from the West Coast super maybe just maybe feel like she's entertaining, she added. Cardi being said, what's up? I ain't none of these bees one can

we link off internet? I ain't gonna cap so everybar but Cardi be getting at you, like, let's just say if it's a misunderstand she gonna hit you in the d M and or get your number and contact you and be like, what's up, what's going on? At least I like that, what's the problems. Let's get some straightening, and then if it has to go back online, it goes back online. I like Cardi, I like j T. Though so I was I was sad to see them going back and forth. I didn't like. I hope they

squash it. I hope they can have a real groan with my conversation and realized it was a misunderstanding. I think they're gonna squash If you're talking privately, then you probably more than likely want to. But the fact that Nicki Minaj changed her profile photo to j and that Cardi b changed her profile picture to remy mom, like, this is nasty. They're gonna They're gonna harden the pain. And I just I just know some albums is coming

out soon. That's I mean not saying that this is the reasonab albums, but I want to hear what's gonna be on the albums. I want them. Well, I know one of them album is gonna hit the Billboard one and I know Cardie gonna be a part of that. Because for one thing that Cardi do do stay on like she stays on the charts, and anybody who works with her be on the charts. I think that is fair though to acknowledge what j T said, she said that the industry is not really designed for women like

her to win. When you really think about it, dark skinned women in hip hop typically don't get a lot of the shine that's just across the board in general. So j T I think made a good point, but that does not take away from Cardie's talent. I think Cardi just wants her recognition, like you think she doesn't have it though, Like no, it's like, you know, you have a Nikki who's I'm the queen, this queen that you know what. Everybody has to give her her flower.

They have to give her her flowers. I feel like they always, you know, just brush Cardi off to the side, like she don't really put up numbers on the board. Whether she writes a rap or not, She's still putting

up points on the board. If I could, if I could tell Cardi B something right now, like Cardi B is a very very well accomplished female artists, not just a rapper artist, and stop worrying about what anyone has to say about you are so accomplished, and you're up there like and like the thing she's had all she's had, all these accomplishments fast. Like a lot of the things that take other people a long time, it happened for

her extremely quickly. And it's you very rare. So I don't understand why she's letting people get bothered now I do. Still the same persons, still the same person she's been that way before she was polished, she said in one of those tweets to our bars, like you know, I'm still the same chick. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be responded to you. I wouldn't have never gave that any light. Though I would. I would let a barkati to talk to herself facts, not for him who. Rihanna looking for

new fenty face in a TikTok contest. All you have to do is follow a fancy beauty on TikTok, post video showing your your beauty energy and used the hashtag the next fancy face and tag fenty beauty. Uh one time for my being there, Queen from my home island Barbados, Rihanna, I am part of the Navy, and I always think

that Rihanna is better than be honest. Oh, I said that they had start now to get Yeah, so you want to be part of you know, I'm telling my U the beauty energy, Uh you know the fancy challenge Brianna is is always you know, moving the mark, and I love you know how she's catering to all sizes, you know, all shades and this is you know, just another notch on her belt as far as moving the mark, like you know, everybody wants to be a part of it. She makes uh fency so accessible to the public. So yep,

I love it. We have a curveball question of the day on the scale of one to races. Do you think this punishment is fair? A video surface of a California high school football team forced to forfeit the entire season after a video surface of players having a fake slave option. High School in Yuba City has canceled the remainder of its football season after a video and social

media showed players depicting a slave auction. In the video, at least three black students from River Valley High School are seen standing side by side in their undergarments while white students and others laugh of been shout out prices. The school district has barred the football players involved from competing for violating the student I think code of conduct, leaving the varsity team without enough members to play. Why

are you naked in the dark the football players? That means football players, you know they begetting like showering and dressed around each other. First of all, this had to be we talked about before it actually was act. What's up with the black kid that participated to be a slave? What's wrong with him? And No, I don't think forfeitting the season is enough. It's not enough to just take away the game that they love. They need more consequences. That's my personal opinion. I don't I don't know if

it's classes or or whatever, but that ain't enough. That this had to be This had to be planned out like someone's recording. Absolutely with their head down and stuff. They sat around and was like, yo, you know, would be a great idea. We should have a slave auction. You'd be the slave you'd been slaving for the black kids. I mean, And that just goes back to kids being uneducated. You know, when when kids play games like that, I think a lot of times they just play games based

on what they seeing how the household grew up. So I think I think punishing them for the entire season, to me, it's just a pr cover of stunt. What you need to do is you need to educate these kids and take them to an African museum and educate them to history on what actually they're doing, because these textbooks, they're not educating kids on real slavery and what happened.

They're not telling kids that, you know, black people, we were kings and queens before we got into slavery, y'all, just like America only knows black people from being slaves. You know what else too? Though, to touch on that point, white people don't learn enough about flavor. It is impounded into Black people like we get it. We know. It's y'all that needs to know. Y'all need to understand what your role in it was and how evil it really was.

Otherwise you wouldn't find that ship funny. It's not funny. It's not funny because you know about every other race. We know about how terre about the Holocaust. Everybody knows how terrible. I feel like people don't know how bad slavery was because they don't have to learn. And this is exactly why they're trying to remove it from education. They don't want they want to erase what they've done

to black people. And it's absolutely discussed now. I do think everyone who participated in his activity should be ashamed of themselves. I do think that your parents should be involved, the teachers, the school should be involved in some type of therapeutic um, one on one conversations. Um, this is not something that we need to uh sweep under the rug. And it was northern California, in California. That's that's the

part you don't go to in California. Yeah, this makes me mad, man, This makes me mad to see that. Yeah WHOA Okay, So what would you do as a parent if your kid was on this football kids not my kids not playing football, but ypathetically speaking to therapy. Um,

I'm gonna sit them down. I'm going to talk to all parents, want to talk to the school, and we'll talk to the principle about how deeply rooted this has to be for someone to be this ignorant, and ignorance is not knowing any better or not really even trying to know any better. Something like this is so ignorant, like you don't even understand the message that you're sending to other people to think that this is okay. This is not okay, especially for adolescents. Person. This is these

are younger kids. These are people who are not adults yet. So for you to think that this is okay is incorrect. This is not a correct way of things. This is not the mind frame to even concock in your head to say, Okay, this is cool. This is not cool. This is not cool. I keep watching it because and it just makes me mad. So these guys need some type of counseling and they need to understand, to be educated on this ship to know, hey man, this ain't

nothing that you need to be playing with mistakes. I'm sorry, we didn't know. Prayers for the youth man. And while we're talking about prayers, prayers for Timur and UH fourteen. Chager has been corey about why they filed for divorce. But it was a really good message for the requslable differences that they both agreed to pretty much their separate Yeah, you know, so we're gonna wish them, wish them the best.

It seems like they're in a good space. They come to a mutual decision, they are they are ready to co parent. We wish you both had up so you know, whatever split, whatever split, everything is already ordered. It's just sad to see, you know. It's like people really fell in love with Tia, you know, and their marriage, and it's just, you know, we thought that that couple at least was gonna make it. Yeah, I mean fourteen years, I ain't gonna lot. Fourteen years were stuck for Alver.

And it's sad because their kids are so young to go, wow, do you never know? You guys? Could they can work it out before the papers are some hopefully. I'm praying. We're praying for you, praying for you, and another for Tom Brady and Gizell. I'm not gonna lie. I'll put that down. Football down, That's what it is. I think that's what she wants down. I'm telling y'all. She's like the fact that the fact that he went back, I'm

over in my head. I feel that, yeah, and that's wrong to like you said you're going retired and you do it and then you're like, Okay, your wife starts to make plans. Hey, I could live a little bit. Then on their mind, I changed my mind. What I got They were married. That's crazy. They've been married for a long I watched the documentary. They're definitely married. I'm not watching it. Man burns up for everybody. Man, We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be back with more

of the ball Alert show right up to this. We'll be right back, but more of the Baller Alert shows. It love. From the minute I met you, baby, I knew I wanted to marry love. It's love versus money. You can't put a price tag on love. On the ball or Alert Show, We're back for love versus money, I choose the couple. You guys, tell me if the man and the woman there individually are there for love or for the money? Come on, ready, ready, scared? Alright, so sella, I'm so scared. Today we have party in

Megan the Stallion. Damn, that's a good one. I really think it's for love, guys. I think the party is in love with Megan and Megan's in love of party. Um. I'm not claiming to know Megan, but I have followed her journey as an artist. Had a little inside uh seat. First up, front row seat, and I would say, I think she really likes this guy and party. I believe he really likes her because anytime like a love, like love, like liking to love love you, it's not about money

for either one of them. I really think they both like love each other and it's not about money and be together. It's long. You don't think it's love. Cool? No, I mean I don't understand what you said. I do think he's going to propose to her soon. Okay, so if you're gonna propose, that means love. So some people get heared for business. I love love all right. What I remember at one point, a lot of people were like,

oh my god, he's not worth anything. He doesn't have half the money that she has or anything like that. I don't think it has anything to do with money. I think that they genuinely love each other. I think that sometimes even if a woman is the breadwinner or makes a lot more money, I think that actually even shows you all the more reason why it may be loved for her. For him, I can it just looks like he loves her so much. Like it's like the way that he looks at it, the way that they

engage I'd be liked you. I want somebody's fun to look at me like that. I think it's love, all right. They always say money, bron I know that everybody always say it's for the money. But I really do think it's love. Any Time a man is risking his life for his woman, a K going against the baby, a K the Graham Reaper. You gotta love that woman, I think it's love, okay, especially when she was playing. When you're playing the game, I always think of that photo, like, damn,

that was a sex. She propped that thing up. He would probably playing a Call of Duty or something. I'm not know. She wrote A bought him the game, so which is though, like when the ladies buy him the game. Stop y'all acting like party. I say that, I'm just saying. She probably was thoughtful and bought him the game. He probably wasn't paying attention with no sound. I can tell that he was happy to play the game. I can tell they really love each other. She pays attention to him.

She bought him something that he likes to do. Now he's just making it. We don't know he was excited, mind you. We don't know if it's true. But I think I think she bought in the game and he was like, oh yes, baby, thank you. And then she propped the phone up and said I got you and I'm gonna play it with you. Hello. I like that. We love it, all right, So I think he was just saying what he wanted for Christmas. So what's see your success rate? I think the success rate is high,

all right. I think it's high. Make it last forever. I don't want to say we don't know if anything is forever, but I do think that they have we know forever. That's a different type of relationship they allowed. They allowed each other freedom, you know, in space, to be who they are as individuals, and I think sometimes that creates a stronger love. You said, what is a time for balling? Man? It message she is tied for bowler mal dear bowler alert. I'm pregnant from me and

my best friends ex. Truth be told. He was my man first. Him and I dated in college before my best friend became my best friend. When she started dating him, I told her he was my ex. They broke up over six months ago and she's moved on. How do I tell her? First of all, I was loaded because it sounded like you really didn't give a funk. I was with him first, and then she got with him, and I told her he was my ex. Like it sounds like it's a little spiteful. I don't really think

you genuinely care. I don't think you genuinely care um about her in that way. Um. I think you just need to go ahead and tell you having a baby got up? Baby, You better say you pregnant and keep it pushing, because this ain't like y'all want. Really, friends, are you acting like y'all friends? I told him, he told her he was mine.

I got pregnant. I don't know how they're telling Oh my god, I know a girl in Atlanta who talks to every damn body like and let her tell it. It ain't no other men to talk to in Atlanta, Like we are dry down here, because if she said hello, if they had a phone conversation, if they want on

one date, it's it's a wrap. We're grown. Listen. If y'all was on some young stuff back then, and y'all was just playing around, but their relationship was actually a little more serious, a little more love involved, and you went back to him on something like I had him first, hot, Hot, Now I'm pregnant, you foul, Just have your baby, leave it alone.
