Because 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: I literally have always said one of the things that 13 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: I am horrible at is sitting down, being still checking 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: in on myself and sometimes checking in on people because 15 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: everything is always moving so fast. You're always trying to 16 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: keep up with things, not even just the news, but 17 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: the news just life in general. And sometimes what I've noticed, 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, I had a season of my life where 19 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: like I really had to sit down, sit still. 20 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 3: Wasn't much shaken. You know, my ma was healing from 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 3: some things. 22 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: Grandma too, and that was probably like the most calm 23 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: my life has ever been. But in all of that stillness, 24 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: I feel like it was like a message, Like I 25 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: feel like God, I always remember this time period. I 26 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: feel like God was trying to show me all the things, 27 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: like all those small pockets that I'm like blind to 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: and that I miss because my life moved so fast, 29 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: because you know, I'm living in La New York all 30 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: these like big, fast moving places. I work a job 31 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: that requires me to be away from family and friends 32 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: a lot, and even when they are close, they're kind 33 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: of in the mix of all of my craziness and 34 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: all my fastness. And being at home in Delaware for 35 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: about a year and a half maybe two, I got 36 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: to see, you know, so much that I was missing 37 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: with family, with friends, with myself. Honestly, that was the 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: biggest thing, Like when I really sat down with myself 39 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: and I'd never done that. You know, before it was 40 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: the you know, the big jobs. It was college. Before 41 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: it was college, it was trying to get through high 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: school and working jobs and help you know, mom, and 43 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: just figure out what was happening after high school. And 44 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, like coming into yourself as an adult is 45 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: a magical thing because you know, you really get to understand, 46 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: like why the world needs you. Going to an HBCU 47 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: shout out to Delaware State University. Did that for me, 48 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: but also the household I was raised in did that 49 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: for me as well too. Like my mom always taught 50 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: us about like how like how much of a gift 51 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: we were in any and everything that we did, and 52 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, how prepared we were. 53 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: To be that. 54 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: She always spoke to us as if you know, every 55 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: and every and anybody was lucky to have us. And 56 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: I know that her doing that was us, her preparing 57 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: us for the world, because once you get out in 58 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: the world, baby, especially as a black woman, they definitely 59 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: try and humble you. But that period of stillness was 60 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: probably the first time since you know, being younger and 61 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: not having all the things moving and you know this place, 62 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: that place that I had that time, and I realized 63 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: in that time how much I just wasn't checking in 64 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: on myself, like literally and and the people I love, 65 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: but also just on myself. And I keep emphasizing on 66 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: myself because I think a lot of times when people 67 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: talk about checking in or checking up on it's always 68 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: someone else and that's great and you should do it. 69 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: I make a habit now and I'm not the best 70 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: at everyday phone calls, but we never just say like, oh, 71 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm a check up on me, like you know, so 72 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: me doing that daily on this podcast, especially because you 73 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: guys listening to me, well, I don't know what day 74 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: you listening to me.

Her name is Shanee Henry. She does 155 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: Sisters who Bake two point zero on Instagram. She bakes 156 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: and does desserts. And those two people who have always 157 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: been like the most non judgmental, heartfelt listeners I've ever 158 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: experienced in my life. 159 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: But when I went through. 160 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: That season that I keep talking about, like that season 161 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: of stillness, I realized how much we don't even like 162 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: like and checking up on myself and knowing when I 163 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: wasn't feeling okay, but still taking everybody's stuff and answering 164 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: the phone for people or whatever. I realized, people, it's 165 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: not even on purpose, but I realized how much we 166 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: unload on people who might have their own things going on, 167 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: in their own things happening. So you know how it 168 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: is when you call somebody and you're like, hey, are 169 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,119 Speaker 1: you in a like I said, you in a mood? 170 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: Or are you in an okay space where I can 171 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: kind of dump a little bit on you like I 172 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: do that now ever since then?

J Cole is finally doing an interview. 187 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: Like J Cole and done an interview, and I don't 188 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: know how long. The fall Off dropped about a month 189 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: or so ago, which is supposed to be his last album, 190 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: but I don't know. I feel like every time I 191 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: hear him talk about how motivated and inspired he is 192 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: since dropping it, I just don't believe that it's going 193 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: to be his last album. I feel like he has 194 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: so much more to say. I just think he had 195 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: to realize in himself and realize how, you know, like 196 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: just reconnect as an artist, and his interview serves to 197 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: prove that. So he sat down with Nedeska, you know, 198 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: female journalists in the hip hop and music space for 199 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: Apple Music. Interview was about an hour and a half long, 200 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: but he details so much the setting of the interview. 201 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: They are back in Fayetteville in the Carolinas. He's literally 202 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: in his childhood home, which he now owns and has 203 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: it set up still, you know, very similar to how 204 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: it was when he grew up. It's almost staged, just 205 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: like a museum, honestly. And when the interview opens, like 206 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: when you see them, they're walking into his home and 207 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: there's a gate outside of the house, and he talks 208 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: about the fact that fans come and literally sign you know, 209 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: the gate. So this is a very safe space for him, 210 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: and he sets the tone like we do in the 211 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: beginning of our episode. He sets the tone for home 212 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: in space and the importance of that in the very 213 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: opening of the interview. 214 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: Let's take a look at that. 215 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I can't believe this album actually came out. 216 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: What are we now like a month to some change removed. 217 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 4: Some people told me, like, yo, they're driving like from 218 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: New York to Miami, and they'll see the Favue exit 219 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 4: and they like just get off, you know what I mean. 220 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 4: They come like take a picture, they'll sign you know 221 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: what I mean. Some of these are faded because they've been. 222 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 2: Here for mad long. 223 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 5: So this is actually the beat machine that you got 224 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 5: on lay away. 225 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 2: This is the one. 226 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's the exact one, because somewhere 227 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 4: along the line we had to buy another one. But 228 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 4: it's not because we lost the original. It's just because, 229 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 4: like something else we were doing, we needed it, so 230 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 4: somewhere along the way they might have got shuffled. So 231 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 4: I don't know if this is one we bought up 232 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 4: was the original, but that is the same style at 233 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 4: the very least, it might be. 234 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 2: The exact same one that I had. Yeah, that my 235 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: mom got, like. 236 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 6: We waited what ten years for this album and to 237 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 6: be able to celebrate it here with you at twenty 238 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 6: fourteen Forest Soils Drive. 239 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 5: I feel like I'm in a J. Cole museum. 240 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 6: Hm. And you said that you were gonna step out 241 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,479 Speaker 6: of your comfort zone, which is home, to have some conversations, 242 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 6: but you find the loophole and still invite us into 243 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 6: your home. 244 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 4: That's a good point.

I'm like, oh man, 247 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: I'm nervous, you know what I mean?

But there was 285 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 4: a point where I started coming back home and it 286 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 4: felt different to me, you know what I mean, Like 287 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 4: it was heavy when I was coming back home. It 288 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 4: was like a burden, whether imaginary or real. It was 289 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 4: like a burden that I felt, and a heavyness and 290 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 4: almost a darkness, and like, uh, whether it's in a 291 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 4: form of like bad news violence. 292 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: It also was a time when the shit. 293 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 4: Was getting really really bad, you know what I mean, 294 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 4: Like everything you hear is like, yo, this shit worse now. 295 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 4: It's dangerous now. And it was like, you know, very 296 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 4: sad stories coming out of the city. On top of that, 297 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 4: there would be like such and such, such and such 298 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 4: a bouts, Yo, you ain't here, why dude? 299 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 5: Why is you? 300 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: Know what I mean? 301 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 4: Like these situations of people around the city that has 302 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 4: something to say about it. 303 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: And the reason why I think that that was such 304 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: an important conversation for him to have and the opening 305 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: of this interview is because I think it really explains 306 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: the backdrop of why the fall off took so long. 307 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: You know, he says eight plus years he had been 308 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: working and teasing this album. But I also think I 309 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: think it shows you, guys, just a little bit about 310 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, as a person, regardless if you're a music 311 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: artist or whatever you're you can have. You could be 312 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: a doctor, lawyer, uh l. I don't care where you 313 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: work at, whatever you do. At some point in your life, 314 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: everybody experiences a growth, a growth and a change in 315 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: your life where it's like you really can't control it 316 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: and you can't anticipate it. 317 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 3: It's just things are changing. 318 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: You're outgrowing things that you used to love, places you 319 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: used to love, like conversations you used to love and 320 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: used to entertain, and it's happening in a way where 321 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: you can't stop it if you tried. And the best 322 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: of us don't run from that, right not the best 323 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: of us. But I think people who really want to 324 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: grow and who really wanna you know, it's uncomfortable as hell. 325 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: But people who really want to grow and who really 326 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: want to be uncomfortable, we lean in and we we 327 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: let the growth happen. But there's something that happens just 328 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: mentally that kind of disconnects you from everything that you 329 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: were comfortable with and you have to get comfortable again 330 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: in a different way. And hearing him talk about this, 331 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: for me, I'm like, okay, So as an artist, that 332 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: it puts your mind just in such a different space, 333 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: right because it's like everything you thought was so great 334 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: at one point you now looking at it like what 335 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: like that that's corny.

So I'm like, Okay, now I 339 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: have a better understanding because at one point I felt 340 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: like and listen, like, I love J Cole, I have 341 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: nothing against him. 342 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 3: I'm not like the diehard J. 343 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: Coole fans, Like I know there are people out there 344 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: that because when you say it's like certain celebrities when 345 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: you say you're a fan of them, you gotta be 346 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: like Dowding, like J Cole, Drake, Nicki, Minaj, Beyonce.

So he was in this battle 642 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: with police here because he didn't want them to release 643 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: the bodycam footage of his DWI. He had gotten word that, 644 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: you know, different media outlets were submitting requests to get 645 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: the videos, and he didn't want people to be able 646 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: to receive the videos. 647 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah. 648 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: Right, But this past week, police in sag Harbor announced 649 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: that they came to an agreement with Justin Bieber and 650 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: that they were going to release video footage from the bodycam, 651 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: but it was going to be partially redacted, so basically 652 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: like a lot of personal information would be redacted from 653 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: the video.
