Number one hits, millions of records sold, awards, sold out tours.
You think that Jonas Brothers are satisfied?
Nope, it's podcast time.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Hey Jonas is available now, and their first guest is a big one.
Paul Rudd.
You know, Steve Carell is a great singer.
Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something?
I told him.
Whoa.
We were filming Anchorman.
Clearly, I was the idiot.
Thank God he didn't listen to him, right?
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.
What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas.
And I'm C.J. Toledano. It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, Point Game, the playoffs.
We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest
playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was harmed. You just understood.
That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game seven, Mark keep coming to. He's like,
you know, I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs. This was just basketball.
So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast. I actually drop better when I'm high. It heightens my senses. It calms me down. If anything,
I'm more careful. Honestly, it just helps me focus. That's probably what the driver who killed a
four-year-old told himself. And now he's in prison. You see, no matter what you tell yourself,
if you feel different, you drive different. So if you're high, just don't drive.

What would you eat if you had to start over?
Real simple, poor man's, poor woman's food.
Black beans, chicken, rice, plantains.
On the podcast eating while broke,
I sit down with celebrities, entrepreneurs, and creators
as they revisit the meals they once relied on
and the moments that shaped their journey.
Named Best Food Podcasts at the 2006 IHeart Podcast Awards,
the full season is available to binge.
Right now, listen to Eating Wall Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
So I told my manager and agent, I said, I can't do this tomorrow the way I did it tonight.
I've got to have floor monitors because if the ears go out, then I'm probably going to sound horrible.
You know, social media is unforgiving.
My mom, let me tell you some, all you had to do is walk that runway, jikers out.
Oh, my gosh.
It's my God.
All of it.
You.
Oh.
Yo, what up?
This is Joe Crack the Dawn.
How are you doing, ladies and gentlemen?
This is your boy, Jada Kiss.
Lord Pierre.
Lord Pierre, the knight.
It's the Joe and Jada show.
Every show legendary.
Every show iconic.
An iconic baby.
And we're killing the motherfuck.
And again, man.
You make me, like, be nice for some reason, right?
Yeah, I'm not going to curse too much.
I'm not going to say nothing wrong to this.
You got that respect me, aura about you.
It's like a, relax.
Don't do too much.
Forget.
You done?
Yeah.
When you think of today's guest, it's a lot to think of.
Think of a Grammy Award winner.
Wow.
Winner.
We had a lot of nominees on here.
Me and him been nominee.
You think of a woman who stepped into the lady marmalade
alongside little Kim Pink,
Christina, and Missy, and made the whole
world stop.
You think case of the X.
You think that old superstar.
Take me that.
Mm, that's a super
The best of me.
Mm. You know what I mean?
What's the record you got?
What a...
I mean, that's a big deal.
Ladiesy gentlemen,
you see what I got to go to?
You think
vegan warrior.
Mm.
Animal rights champion, marathon run, label owner.
You think a woman who has been writing, producing, engineering,
and financing her own music for over two decades.
Because she decided a long time ago that nobody was going to own her.
You think 25 years in entertainment is still the most underrated conversation at R&B.
Ladies and General.
Still looking brand new.
Still looking.
Get it off of Maya.
Let me tell you some.
God has been good to you.
You're looking brand new.
Nuevecita, mommy, de Fabrica.
She looked.
What happened?
What's Spanish?
No.
No.
Thank you all so much for the introduction.
It's so good to see you.
And you too.
I'm always seeing you in passing, we're always working on the road.
That's right.
You know, and same with you.
I saw you somewhere recently, and you were also working, performing.
Wasn't it vibes cartoon?
Just a concert?
No, I wasn't at vibes.
It was somewhere.
Somewhere.
It was an arena.
Yeah.
So you went to vibes and you did the Ziggies house and Ziggy Ziggies Ziggies.
No, I just went to.
You were just hanging out?
I was just hanging out, yeah.
New album?
Yes, sir.
10th studio album.
The 10th one.
Make some noise for 10.
Big features, big feature.
I've seen Snoop on there.
I seen John Lucas.
I see 21.
I see some big.
Who else?
Too short.
Too short.
Short dog, the king of the vocal.
Yeah.
And they had me and too short interview
Vice President,
the former vice president.
I'm like, how this shit going to work out?
Which one?
Fat Joe the gangster, Too Short.
Biden?
Kamala Harris, man.
We interviewed her.
Me and Too Short out of all people,
BTX us.
What did you ask?
Nice stuff, nice stuff.
But at first, I was frightened by the lineup.
I said, Fat Joe, Too Short.
Oh, this shit gonna go all the way left.
You know, he might be like,
yo, what's my favorite word?
Bitch, I swear to God, he asked to that.
Right.
She answered it, but we, she answered it.
Hmm.
They ignored.
She's from the Bay Area.
Yeah.
of the desk. She said, bitch.
Real cute. Amazing.
Amazing.
Iconic.
You see?
Vegan.
Why vegan?
It's a lifestyle.
You know, not just food.
As I went down the rabbit hole,
I found out a lot of information that I wasn't privy to.
So once I learned, there was awareness, of course, that took place.
And I said, okay, yeah, I can claim vegan because I changed my diet.
But I didn't realize I wasn't a true vegan without adopting the full lifestyle.
So fashion, makeup, hair products, home decor.
I didn't realize that there were so many, well, animal cruelty aspects, you know,
to the things that I wear, put on my body, in my body.
So I just shake for a lifestyle around.
What if I gave you coconut, the exotic coconut?
Would that not be like, we didn't kill nobody over that, right?
That's vegan, yes.
Yeah.
I don't want a coconut.
Like, what do you?
Listen to the exotic coconut.
You know.
I'm a cereal of, I'm a fucking, like a serial killer of steaks and hamburgies and all this shit.
I don't.
Chickens.
I tried vegan for a couple of hours.
I went in, no, no, I did.
I went in Whole Foods, bought everything vegan.
That shit was horrible.
How was it?
Okay, it was horrible.
That shit was horrible.
I couldn't survive one.
What did you make?
It don't matter.
Everything you liked?
Horrible.
Beyond this shit tastes like cardboard, all that shit.
I was like, yo, I can't do it.
You might got to make them.
Yeah, you got to experience the real true vegan, flavorful food that's the feeling.
I actually seen people go vegan and get fatter.
That's true.
That's true.
That's right.
Now you don't, yes.
I've seen it.
I experienced that during my first two weeks.
the vegan life, right?
Because I didn't know what I was doing.
And it was all about the carbs for me because I love Italian food.
I love rice.
I love bread.
I love pasta.
All that stuff.
And I put on some weight, you know.
And I'm like, what?
Is this working?
This is not working, but it's about, you know, a well-balanced, nutritious meal.
More whole food, plant-based foods and all that.
Greens are good.
The more raw that you can eat or the more pure, you know, food.
Without overheating your foods.
Because once you overcook it, you kill all the nutrients and enzymes or whatnot.
But the process, vegan food is not too good for you.
You know what I'm saying?
I ain't going to eat some shit, Maya.
You know, I fuck with you, man.
And you're my people, man.
And, boy, I got to eat some shit.
Not on this earth.
I got to eat some shit.
Like, I can't do it.
They do have some amazing vegan food that, you know, you could still be fulfilled with.
They do have vegan steaks that they make with like oyster mushrooms and all kinds of amazingness and the sauces and the flavors and the spices.
So you got to go to the right spot.
You know how Brother Stiles Pete celebrated his birthday in the vegan spot.
I ran out of the air and ate some cereal so fast.
He was like, you're not enjoying this, Joe.
And it was his whole shit was for me to enjoy this thing.
Coconut saviche.
This I'm like, yo, get me the fuck.
Fuck.
Out of here,
let me go eat me
some King vitamin
and some shit fast.
Like, I can't...
Took it to King vitamin.
No, no, but this one thing
I just can't do vegan.
I just can't do it.
I wish, I wish, I wish.
And I do a lot of...
You know, fat, Joe, not so fat.
But vegan is hard.
And then you look like...
Not you look like,
I'm going to categorize you
as someone who really does.
They do diligence.
everything.
So you like pay attention
to every detail.
So you see,
I never did that.
Right?
So they had like a movie,
Russell Simmons sent me a movie one time
where they're killing the animals
and I just never watched it
because I said, damn,
I'm like I want to eat no beef no more
or nothing like that.
I'm not going to watch this shit
because I know the truth.
The truth is pretty fucked up.
Yeah.
And so I don't want to watch that shit.
I don't want to.
I want to eat
a cheeseburger deluxe
Mm-hmm
Pickle on the side
You know what I'm saying
But um
Wow you've had
Such a long career
chilling
Under the radar
Mining your own business
Staying classy
This is what we're missing
Right
People don't realize
What we do this show
This ain't a messy show
That's why you came here
You know it ain't messy
That Joe may be crazy
Might say some crazy shit
But not
crazy enough.
This ain't a messy show.
We deal with positivity.
And so, you know, they pull out rankings.
And anybody who went before us are, you know, shop jocks.
You know, they talk, Tupac is still alive.
You know, they're talking all that wild shit, right?
And so we keep it classy.
And you keep it classy.
Is that like, did you intend on like,
y'all, I'm going to keep my shit classy
because it's pretty messy out there?
I mean, I like balance.
I'm going to say I like balance.
I'm just me, you know, but I'm going to have my fun too.
So I like to identify as clatchet.
Clashy, clashing.
Clashy and ratchet.
You know, there's a balance.
Clashy, clashets.
Clatchet.
Clatchet.
Oh, clashet.
Yeah, clatchet.
So you got your ratchet moments?
I don't think Maya got ratchet moments.
I do. It's slight.
But, you know, I enjoy.
I enjoy the dancing.
I enjoy doing.
what I do and just being who I am.
So there's a balance of get the best of both worlds.
I'm just me.
And I don't knock anybody else for being them, whatever that might be.
That's it.
The easiest job in the world.
What?
Class you.
Some people don't even know who them are.
That's,
yo, that's real talk.
Some people don't know who they are.
They're like trying to fit in and trying to be this or trying to be that.
or trying to be down with this.
They don't even know.
I know grown men that still haven't figured out
who they are.
That's the craziest shit in the world.
When you're looking at somebody
and they keep, you know, one minute they like this,
one minute they like that,
one minute they like that, one minute they're down with this crew,
that crew.
I've seen rappers throw on 10 chains.
Rough riders, Territus Squad,
Rockefeller, fucking no limit.
I just watch motherfuckers throw on them chains.
Like, one of them got a stick.
You already know when it's a real moment.
You need a real bottle.
That's why we rock with 1,800 tequila.
These people been making tequila for 11 generations.
That's a legacy.
That's the OG status.
They were the first to introduce a nejo.
Set the standard before most of these brands even existed.
And you can taste the difference
For real, the 1800
Cristilino and Respasado
is what we've been on late.
Smooth, clean, elevated.
No rough edges,
just a premium pour
that speaks for itself.
You know when something is just built right,
that's what this is.
Real talk.
That's just what it is.
It's always around for the best nights,
the wins, the celebrations.
They remember that night's stories.
Whether you're keeping it low-key
with the crew or you pull up to something big.
1800 fits every setting.
It ain't trying too hard.
It's just as that.
1800 tequila,
real legacy, real smooth.
That's the move.
My point is ownership,
because you've been independent
and owning your own thing for a long time.
A lot of people just catching on to that.
A lot of people are just getting into the
ownership way
and trying to get
their masters
and learning about
things they should
have learned about
isn't.
Well, I think
you know what
as all of
people are artists
in this game
before they even
step into the system
there's a bit
of independency
in that space anyway,
right?
That's how you get
discovered and signing.
I think it's important
to keep that.
Not everybody
is built to be
independent either.
If you don't know
how to work
and you're not trying to work,
I have the
independent space.
because of watching my parents.
They're independent thinkers.
They've always kind of been against the grain.
I watch my dad, like literally record, write, produce,
dish out his records, walk his vinyl to radio stations.
So the independent spirit is ending.
I love to work too.
And I do love music.
And I've kind of always been a little bit of a beast, you know,
in another world before I go.
got into the music business.
And so that's just in me.
Now, it's a lot of hard work and it's a lot of hard work.
It's just not natural.
It's not healthy for your body either, but to each his own.
You know what I'm saying?
For me, it's worked because I get to create and do what I love the most with no ceilings,
no limitation.
And then something beautiful happens.
Like, you start getting younger when you start really having fun and leaning into what you
love. And it doesn't feel like somebody's making you do anything or you have to conform
because it's somebody else's dollar. So there's freedom there. And that's what I've learned
that works for me and how I'm built. But don't we always got to do like we always got to feel
like we got to do shit. I don't know about child. Like Tuesday, I got two shows in Vegas. I'm
kind of mad. I got to leave. Like this shit. You got to leave with. To go do the two shows, man.
Maybe I want to just sit my ass on the couch and watch some tennis or something like.
Like I'm constantly, we just flew in yesterday.
Like I'm constantly just.
Work, but I got to get the money.
Don't stop.
You got to get the money.
So in some case, like when I see my sisters or I wouldn't call them aunties,
but when I see like Patty LaBelle and Stephanie Mills and Gladys Nass name,
I wonder why they're 80 years old still on the stage.
That's the type of shit.
it scare me, right?
Because I'm wondering if they're doing it because they just want to be there.
Along with the nice pay.
Along with the nice pay.
But you get what I'm saying, right?
I do.
I just spoke about this recently with politicians.
I went to the Capitol Hill.
And the American Music Fairness Act, AMFA.
We were talking to congressmen, you know, in their offices about this.
and how legacy artists 80 years old plus are still out here to our in.
Their bodies are breaking down, like in heels, all kinds of stuff.
Is it because they have to or because of this issue?
And so in the United States, artists that don't write their music, of course,
and a lot of our legends don't.
I weren't able to because they were still paying, yep, that too.
And we didn't necessarily know the business back then.
And there was an opportunity.
And plus, we didn't have social media and all these platforms.
And so there's a bill that we're trying to press to be passed for the reason, not just legacy artists.
And then what does it do, get them paid?
Every time your song plays on radio, you should be getting paid.
No matter what.
And because the United States hasn't adopted that, but the rest of the world has,
international is also not paying us.
So I spoke about that.
But it hurts me when I see our legacy artists out here.
right in the way. And I know how
my body feels on the road after touring
and touring and I dance
and I work out. I'm like, hmm,
something has to change.
And then all the overhead that
artists incur and the commissions.
I get up.
Yeah. I get up.
I'm not complaining because we do have a good.
I'm in the hotel room. I get up.
And I get that shower
and I look at that mirror
just before I go to do an hour concert
and my bones start tweaking in
I'll be like, damn, me, like, I gotta do this shit again.
Don't get it fucked up.
Fucking with the fans, I'm there.
I love you guys.
Thank you for your support, this, this, that.
But I don't know about anybody else,
but I'm getting older and the fucking, like,
I'm catching pains for no reason everywhere.
Like, shit, two days ago, this shit hurt for no reason.
My shoulder would be hurting from leaning back.
This shit real.
Oh, my goodness.
Fuck the gym.
You're going to get me hurt.
more.
I never heard nobody that got hurt more
working out, but it's cool.
What I'm saying to you, it don't got
nothing to do with the gym, man.
She knows yourself like Smokey Roberson
is performing, all of them is performing.
I just want to know, you said they do it because
they love it. And they get in the
bag. Of course they get in the back.
The problem is... But you know what else, too?
I know, especially for men,
the responsibility and the expectation of
taking care of others. Even though
that are not in your bloodline,
like your community, your crew.
It comes with that expectation.
And a lot of us want to do it
because we've been blessed with the opportunity,
the gift to step up into that position.
So it comes with a lot of giving constantly,
but also not just your blood or your immediate family.
There's also people that rely on you,
to stay employed, to stay working, help their families.
And then there's community.
You know what I'm saying?
That's a part.
of your heart if you have it in you.
And it's also expected as well.
I am not complaining because we are so blessed.
Too blessed.
But it's also the reality of what people don't necessarily know
that comes with fame or notoriety.
You know.
But I love that out of others.
And you're absolutely right.
Right?
Because fortunately enough, God sheds a light on certain artists
and they're able to make a great living.
But your family's expectation of spending goes up.
If your bracket go up, they know how to spend more.
They know how to spend more.
And it's like, it's real shit.
They know how to spend more.
And like, I'm going back to 80-year-old artists, 70-year-old artists.
They got grandchildren.
They got kids that...
You know, if they're working at Meyer LLC, that's what's going on.
That's what's going on.
When you see these artists and their son is the fake manager, the distance,
they got to employ everyone, and they're living in life.
Your son is going in, yo, fat Joe's son.
Fat Joe's already 80 years old.
He's supposed to be super rich.
He's selling Rewind the time.
And, you know, there's somebody.
that's the problem I've had a lot
with, like, people
close to me
or I've employed over the years
because,
because Kay is down with Kiss.
When he threw his door to party,
he got to act like,
Don Colillon,
and they expect shit
just because he's affiliated
and works with you.
That ain't fair.
No, no.
This is the price of fame.
The price of fame and all that,
and then, you know,
and so it's like,
You know, you got people who got a big heart,
and then you got people who just don't give a fuck.
You got some guys that be like,
I don't give up.
Just Tracy Morgan tells me,
I know he's a comedian,
but he'd call the cops on his family.
When they come to that mansion and Jersey,
he's like, yo, two black guys on the corner,
it'd be his fucking brother.
Two black guys on the corner look suspicious.
Get them out of here.
They're all fucking Tracy Morgan.
That motherfucker is like,
yo, they don't belong in this neighborhood.
Get them the fuck out of here.
Like, it's like, yo.
Like, anyway, I don't know how we guys.
Fuck.

podcast time. We get to ask other people
questions because we're sick and tired of being and ask

You know, Steve Carell is a great

We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was

Mainstream
media is full of cruel depictions
of the unhoused.
stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith.
We the N-House is the podcast that's changing that.
I'm Theo Henderson, creator, and host.
And for years, I've created a space where the un-hows and their advocates can tell their own stories.
In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans,
the LGBTQTIA plus community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact
the unhoused existence.

Here's something that should not be as complicated
as it is, getting a racist statue removed.
And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is,
getting a new one put up in its place.
As long as there's a politics of race in America,
there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War.
To get to school, I had to go down Robert Ely Boulevard.

We contain spirit.
How do you represent that?
They are just fueling a fire that is really catching.

Well, you know what?
First of all, shout out to Brandy, Monica, Kelly,
and Coco Jones was on that tour, Moneybone.
All the ladies are just so incredibly talented.
And they've been in this game for like 30 years.
And before that, because they were putting in the world.
prior to them hitting.
So just, first of all, to be present
to give flowers to be a part of that
era is wonderful.
And then also to see
an arena tour
sell out
verbatim. Every word,
every ad, man.
You, Kelly Rowland was looking brand new to
Norway as C-down productions, Bobby.
Sheesh!
First of all, everybody sounded good,
looked amazing, represented for our
generation. And then the real
music aspect. Oh my goodness.
We wanted that bad. I was so happy
just to witness. And then of course
it would be a part. I would happily just
host it and brought out the ladies.
You know what I'm saying? It was a last minute situation.
I showed up.
I will share a story.
You know, the day of that I was
called. It's kind of funny. But I
went down to Florida to one of my dad's spots
just kind of like decompressed, start detoxing
and working out to try to take care of myself.
Because I had been grinding and hustling and doing my own
type of thing on the road
and I was ready to
and get all my stuff
uploaded into the system
for this album, whatever.
I got to call it like
130.
And I had my alarm set for like maybe 2 o'clock.
30 minutes later, I was supposed to take a
bottle of some natural stuff
that's supposed to have you
stationary for 24 hours
to detox your body.
Not the sugar-free red, but, right?
Not a diet Pepsi.
Literally, I was going to be pretty much assed out.
Oh, assed out.
Like, you was about to let that shit fly.
Yeah, right?
It's got a terminology.
Go ahead.
So, you know, my manager and the agent called me like,
hey, can you get on a flight tonight to get to Chicago?
I'm like to do what?
Oh, the boy is my tour.
And, you know, I kind of wanted to be on it when it first started
because I'm kind of like, from that.
era. I came a little later, three years later. So I'm like, where is it? Chicago. What time is my set time?
Okay. I've done the venue before. I'm familiar with Winters Arena. I think that's what it was.
And I said, look, I got to look at flights to see if any flights even leave out of this part of Florida.
There was one flight on Southwest Airlines.
You got one, yeah. Right. 3.35 p.m. I think it landed around 6.5.5.000. I think it landed around 6.
30, something like that.
I'm like, what do I even have to wear?
So I had done a birthday party, 21 had a birthday party
in Atlanta. That's actually where I came from.
I said, I have one outfit.
That's it. And I got to wear that outfit again. So I hope no pictures
come out, nothing like to make it happen. If I can make it
to the airport on time, hopped on a plane, edited my set
while I was in the airport in Pro Tools, sent it to them.
You're boss.
Right? You know.
hopped on the plane.
They said,
oh, we have a hotel room for you,
you know, right across the street.
I said, no, just give me an office
because I know how this thing goes.
I got to do my own hair.
Got to do my own makeup.
Got to sew the in-air monitor packs, mustard.
You might as no sound check.
No sound check.
No sound check.
Let me hear this.
It's crazy.
No sound check.
I don't know what the stage looks like, really.
There's luckily a runway where,
first of all,
the stage is dead silent
because there's no floor monitors.
I don't have a sound check to
check the ears.
Nothing is working in my ears.
I cannot hear music.
I can't hear myself.
And when you can't hear yourself as a singer,
you're singing in the wrong key.
You can't even hear the beat, right?
So I just make my way to the runway,
the tip of the runway,
to even get what the front of house
or the audience is hearing.
There's not even the audience.
It's not even even even in there.
So that's not even true
to what's going to happen.
Experience,
but I'm like,
just smile, just dance, just sing.
And you want to be here because you're supposed to be here right now.
It's about them, but get through it.
But I'm like, this is a nightmare.
If your ears go out on that tour, oh, my goodness.
And you're a vocalist is the most scary thing ever.
But I got through it.
And they were like, oh, we'll see you in Kansas City tomorrow.
I'm like, no, you won't.
No, you will not.
So I told my manager and agent, I said, I can't do this tomorrow the way I did it
tonight.
I got to have floor monitors because if the ears,
go out, then I'm probably
going to sound horrible, you know,
social media is unforgiving.
My, let me tell you some, all you had to do is
walk that runway, jikers out.
Oh, my gosh.
My gosh.
And that's exactly,
that's exactly what I did.
You did?
That's what I did.
Come on, my, Ziggas out.
And I just prayed that nothing horrible
vocally would come out because that's the situation.
And, Lord, I did the next day
because they got the floor.
Now, you're a hustler, Maya.
I've seen you everywhere.
I see you working hard.
You know, not every artist is a hard working artist like that.
And I've seen you grind.
There's no disrespect.
There's a blind guy type, Andrea Bocelli.
If I go to Afghanistan to perform the sign says Andrea Bocelli next week,
I've never seen a man work harder like that.
I know how I work.
So wherever I go, it's like,
Adrylabel Shelley.
Like, I'm like,
yo, this motherfucker work.
I ain't like that.
Like, you know how many concerts I go to?
That we cross paths,
and she's even performing or I'm performing.
Like, you, you grind.
You make no excuses.
No excuses.
You know, I was waiting for that tour.
You don't want my experience of what happened on that tour.
Like, you don't want to know.
And so.
That dude.
Yes, we don't.
But you're going to tell us?
I show up.
I'm in a fendi for her.
Oh, nice.
All white and shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Got my wife with me.
She's looking good.
Crockbergins and shit like that.
I walk in.
I see Jay Z.
I'm going to say, yo, what's up?
Guys, everybody's in the building.
And when I get in there,
I'm trying to watch the show.
Actually, they asked me to perform.
So while I'm getting ready, I performed, I came out.
Fucking fight breaks out backstage.
I've been waiting 20 years to see the Monica and branding tour.
And they fucked everything up, man.
And so, you know, that, I'm telling you the truth.
Who was fighting?
They fucked up my experience.
Who are people?
No, no, no.
Like, a fan or fighting?
No, no.
A manager or 18?
No, industry people were fighting.
People don't know.
But it's horrible.
Because I'm sitting there
and I'm looking at Connie Orlando.
I'm looking at everybody I respect
from the industry from all over.
And I'm like, how is this shit happening
in the end of them?
Axi.
What the fuck?
Like, huh?
No, nobody.
But it was bad for me.
You know what I mean?
Monica, I came out of Monica said she had hit me up.
Everything's okay.
I said, yeah, everything's okay.
You know, but it was, you know, it's crazy.
But I waited for that tour.
Another tour I missed was the, I missed the Boys to Men,
New Edition, and Tony Brax.
Oh, my God, how did I miss this tour, man?
This shit, it's like, I go to the tours.
I support.
You know, I love, do you go?
Like, as a fan,
to shows?
If I get a chance to, I'm there.
I mean, I came to Brooklyn just to witness vibes, you know.
And I brought my friends with me.
So you've been a Vives Cartel fan.
Yeah, in Brooklyn.
So if I get a chance and I can bring people along, you know, that are also fans,
it's a fun time for me.
And especially now, I didn't get to go out when I was, of course,
paying my duties in this industry.
So I do all that now at this age.
And so when you mentioned the Branden Monica tour,
I was just so proud of the lady.
So salute, you know what I'm saying?
Because there was a beautiful size to that experience.
It was the biggest tour of last year.
And they did the damn thing.
And I'm so happy that they got their house.
Totally different from Cardi B.
I love Cardi too.
Cardi B sold that bitch out.
She's shaking ass.
She's doing more than that.
Different music is she's an entertainer.
I don't.
I think she made it hard on artists because I think Cardi B blew the bag on the set, on the every, I don't think you could just go up there like regular, you know, some artists, they want the whole bag.
So if you headlining the tour like that, the Serena tour shit like that, you got to spend money on the background of the set.
I think Cardi B spent a lot of money on her set and every, all I heard from everybody, people with the ATL, people who are here.
Yeah, people, they were like,
y'all, our shit is crazy.
You know what I'm saying?
So I think you should invest in yourself
if you're going to headline a fucking tour
to get the shit right.
But Cardi B, she definitely was
she was throwing that shit out there,
you know what I mean?
Now, Usher Tour was incredible, too.
Which one did you go to?
Where they were...
Residency.
Vegas.
Yeah, Vegas and here.
I've always wanted to go to that one,
but I haven't got a chance.
Are you going to show up to?
to Chris Brown usher talk?
I sure will.
That's the way you got to, I got to go.
Yeah, that's good.
You're not going to that shit, man.
You're going to tell me when I'm going to.
I'm going to drink 1800 at that motherfucker too.
No, I get drunk on shit like that.
Like, like Chris Brown talk.
We go to Mary.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I went to the first.
Thank God I was going to have my ticket and everything, but, you know,
four shows came up at the F-1.
I got going over there.
You seen it perhaps.
Little Cadillac, little carbone, little there.
I got to go get the bag.
Man, nobody else paying these fucking bills, man.
And yo, these bills keep coming.
Holy.
They do?
But bills don't take a break, huh?
Oh, ever, especially in this.
Are you fiscally conscious?
Like, you look like you watch.
I actually am because guess who is my accountant's, my mother?
My mom is my accountant since 1997.
It's four of us his accountant.
You both have something out of town.
So look.
My mom's advice to me has always been lived below my means.
And oh my goodness, as an artist, of course that's hard because you always got, you have to make the investment.
Always.
And then the independent game is completely different.
It's all on you, right, unless you have an investor or whatever.
I haven't even allowed anybody to invest in it.
You know, that comes with other things.
So it's just all me.
But I've been so blessed to have her in my corner watching the numbers.
She puts me in shit when I want to say, okay, I've got to make this investment.
Or can I do this for this person?
No, you can't.
No, not right now.
Or, yeah, you can take a break right now if you want for the rest of the year.
So she'll be the voice of reason before I make some big decisions or when I can make those big decisions.
and that keeps me aware.
Yeah.
But I always have been like this.
Living right here below my means,
so I don't ever get in too much debt.
And, you know, I'm not a man either.
You know what I'm saying?
What does that mean?
Meaning with being a man comes with the expectation
of taking care of everybody.
You see what I'm saying?
Would you take care of guys?
There's some lady mans out here, too.
Lady men.
Absolutely.
I mean, like, I keep meeting that fucking cold.
I know my whole crew consists of women that are bosses.
It's not as present.
No, no, it's right.
In society.
It's changed.
Women are making more money in their higher places these days.
Oh, yes, absolutely.
But the expectation is not for the woman to carry it all the time.
I want a woman to buy me.
If I do it, if I could come back,
when I come back to Earth next time,
I'm going to be a gold digging man.
I'm going to give me an old bitch to pay my bills.
I don't give a fuck.
I'm opening the door for them and all that shit and carry the burkin.
Steadman.
I'm steadman.
You're going to need to step out of you.
You think of, man, I'll be stepping in one second.
You fucking, your gal, where you at, girl?
I don't got, I bet.
Do you need a vacation?
Huh?
You sound like you do.
No, I don't need a vacation.
I just deal with reality.
and this shit is crazy.
I know a guy.
I have a friend.
Who?
She's a billionaire.
We're on her yacht.
She had a boyfriend.
Nice young, handsome guy.
He had a couple of fucking businesses.
He wasn't no bum.
And we're on the boat one time.
The way it works is if I'm myest friend
and you introduce me to your boyfriend,
Tyrone or something, I'm still Myers friend.
I don't know.
That's just the way I've always been.
So the guy sits down,
crack, let me holler at you.
I said, man, you know, I'm intimidated.
She pays for everything.
She this and this.
I'm looking at that motherfucker.
And the guy calling me is like, man, you better
fucking marry this bitch right now.
Fuck wrong with you, nigga,
but I can't cross the DNA.
The DNA says, I'm her friend.
I'm like, my eyes is looking like,
point them shit's popping out.
They said, I want to tell them so fast.
You're one of you great.
She broke up.
up with him, she got married in six months.
Oh.
Now you're when you need to check on them.
Yeah, yeah, that ain't like this.
That ain't got Tourette and all that shit.
They're moving like this.
He's like, but
it's nothing wrong with a woman being
more successful than a man.
You know, especially if they-
When they share a little, perhaps.
Yeah, when a woman, perhaps
when I have a joint account
or something, I'm down with it.
You know what I'm saying?
Perhaps.
Put me on it.
Well, it's a lot more men, right?
It's a lot more, I think, without saying names,
it's a lot more men gold diggers these days
than it ever was before.
Like, men are getting married, men are divorced in the accent for half the shit.
It's this, that, I can tell you, that's one thing I wouldn't do.
That means a lot of more ladies kicked up.
Yeah, but.
But what?
Not, that's not how I was raised.
So.
She just told us.
the typical way of the world
is men supposed to
make the money
and take it to anybody.
Not supposed to what is an expectation.
Why are they suing the woman?
Why are trying to get half the money?
Because the women nowadays are making more money.
You just said it.
You know what I like, Maya,
and you ain't got to agree with me.
Well, I don't like one time
the shit was going on with the divorce
and I watched six men,
six fucking men
that work every day on the podcast.
I ought to took her for the money.
Yo, I need that paper.
She's about the day.
I'm like, what the fuck.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I don't know.
I'm out of it.
No, no, I'm telling you to.
Oh, so you'll take the money.
No.
If you was going with Gail or Oprah.
No, I can't.
Listen, did you have any head?
The man's the hunter.
The man's their provider.
Provided.
Did you ever hear his statement?
Say anything.
Complaint.
No, I fuck with step.
I don't, but he didn't do what we're talking about.
Stedman, there's nothing wrong with that.
By myself, enjoying the lake.
Not saying that, I'm saying that nowadays,
when you have a woman getting divorced with a man,
and the man are fucking rap stars and shit.
Like, million there rap stars, and they're doing the woman.
Hold on.
What type of shit is going on?
In today's time, a man can get embarrassed.
I saw that shit in Dubai.
My man's in Dubai, tell me.
They'll cut the man's arm off.
in the Middle East
asking a woman
for the paper.
Like, ask it for the paper.
I watch six grown men
talking about.
I would get it for the money.
Yo, I'm suing.
Yo, I need some of the...
Yo, Nick, you are man.
All right.
So is this okay to give
half of your fortune?
I don't think it's right either way,
but I think if you were a woman
and you divorce
and you've been with some time,
can't go off.
What's wrong?
Give her some M's.
I'm not mad at that.
What about vice versa?
You mad at that?
A man asking a woman
for my woman for my husband?
That's crazy to me.
Saying the same thing in reverse.
It's not this.
It is crazy to me for a man asking a woman for money.
I think every situation.
I think every situation is different.
And then we might be talking about people that are not real adults anyways.
You know what I'm saying?
It could be out of spite.
I don't know if they have kids.
Spite could be it.
I think it's the ego.
I think it might be.
pride.
You know, so.
Oh, no, it ain't no pride in the guy.
It ain't no pride in the guy.
Let me tell you guys, it ain't no pride in the guy
suing the girl for some money.
They ain't no pride in it.
That's not it.
If a divorce is filed.
If they got caught.
It can be a lot of problems.
These devices right here is much worse
than back in the day.
You can make a man feel like a smurf.
I don't know.
I just told you earlier, I would get with a rich
woman that while I'm with her, she could buy me whatever
the fuck she wants. Matter of fact, I want a diamond
the size of a dinosaur.
I'll take everything.
I'm talking about the current
status of guys
getting divorced with a woman,
and they're acting like, they got to get paid.
I'm from when my father
had three jobs.
There's nowhere written
that you can't be taken care of.
It's just in stone that
when some go wrong, the men
take all my money.
No.
I'm not all the way of green, man.
I'm not all the way dissenting me.
Okay.
To me, it's pretty weird.
Me being a man who has sacrificed
and worked my whole life for my family
to see six grown men on the podcast.
Talking about how they're going to sue a girl
and take her money and this and this and that.
I'm on my second guy.
I'm drinking water now.
Thank you, man.
Sky Rizzi.
Don't give no more these shit.
Sorry.
You see this.
It's going back to back, Pellegrino.
dying pets, he don't know what he won his
system. I can't do it.
I can't do it.
You know, people don't realize
it's really, really hard to be an independent
artist, but when
you win as an independent artist
and you really win.
And so
it's hard as
good that you said your mom knows
how to manage books because I don't know how to manage
shit. But I win
independently.
You know, I win all the time.
But, huh?
I can't take.
What are you talking about?
I'm crazy, man.
I just told you the other day, I went broke three times.
I don't give a fuck.
I'm on this earth one time, guys.
Yeah.
And I'm a motherfucker ball to the shit is over.
I'm a fucking ball.
I'm going to buy me a fiscal watch right after this motherfucker.
I don't give a fuck.
Course side, everything.
Everything.
I don't give a fuck.
I don't care.
Nobody worked for it.
Nobody got it for me.
I work for it.
I want to live good.
When my daughter looks great, I love it.
With my wife, my family look great, I love it.
When my people drive fancy cars, I love it.
When I just, I love the shit.
I don't give a, I love the shit.
I'm addicted to the shit.
I pay my taxes.
Oh, we'll do it.
But I'm addicted to the shit.
No, because it ain't nothing fiscal about me.
What about mine?
My is the shit.
My ain't don't give a fucking.
My dad is very much like you.
Smart guy.
He's independent.
He likes nice things.
He's into cars.
He's right there, by the way.
And he looks young.
And he's young.
His spirit.
Pop is not vegan, but you can rewind the time
whenever you want that C.
Yes.
to silence. Hey, why fight the time when you can rewind the time?
He does what he wants to do.
You see?
You buy what he wants to do.
He goes what he wants to go.
Next week, he might slip on a banana pit.
Yeah.
How about this, Pop, that's too easy.
Steak and lock, you're vegan two pops?
Hell no, right?
You're going to eat that shit.
Come on, man.
That shit crazy.
That being your shit, huh?
I tried it.
You tried it, right?
I tried it for four hours.
It was over.
Cardboard records.
First, it was three.
Those two.
It's out of love.
Anyway, I say that to say that my dad is independent spirit.
I've watched Jim Grime my entire life.
I'm talking about multiple jobs at once.
That's right.
Because family was important.
But he also likes nice things.
He's going to live how he wants to live.
if he's going to eat what he can eat.
Man looking like Billy Williams over there now.
He already rewinded in the time.
Facts.
And he does what he loves to do,
which is why he looks the way he looks.
You know what I'm saying?
But nobody's going to tell him to do anything
that he does not want to do.
And he's not going to die on an empty stomach.
That's what he says.
When I try to get him to eat healthy.
No, I want to go out of this world with a full stomach
and a happy one, right?
But out of life.
love are coming.
I heard y'all talking about
veganism and I'm not doing this
and I'm not doing that. But he's trying, right?
And it's because, you know,
I care about my dad. I care about my family.
That's right.
But he's stubborn because he likes the things
that he likes and he's going to do
what he wants to do what he wants to do it.
And it's as simple as that.
So I understand everything that you're saying.
And he likes when his daughter is happy.
Guess what?
And protected.
The fans want you to live great.
They love you.
They want you to do whatever you want to do.
That's your fans.
Like, it's like, yo, I'm...
They do.
I just got to keep making money, God.
Please let me keep making money.
So I can keep enjoying this shit.
I just love it.

I just bought a new car.
You see me?
You saw on Instagram.
You see me, right?
You see that new...
I parked that shit.
Excellent.
What are they talking about?
You tell you so.
Reverse.
People hate on people.
I really realize people hate on people for no reason.
Right?
So somebody caught me filming.
Well, not the ones that are winning.
Huh?
When has a winner hated on you?
Oh, yes.
I agree.
Winners, people get their own or whatever.
They're not hating on nobody.
My thing is the other day I'm in Miami,
I'm making you turn.
I parked the car.
Shit like a boat.
That's how big that bitch is, right?
But I parked that shit.
It's so perfect.
That shit came back.
Boom.
I thought they was going to give me a ward.
I'm looking at all the comments.
Somebody filmed me,
oh, he's the worst driver ever lived.
This, not a bump.
That shit was like Emirates Airline.
Be smooth as shit.
I parked that car.
I realized, can't win.
Can't.
You could win.
When you win, and technically...
You already won.
You won.
That's why you can't.
You winning.
But they try to make you think
that's what I do.
when they do all these lists and all that,
like who's top 10, who's this.
They try to make you feel.
Like, you know, they do,
they try to make you feel like you ain't the top spot.
But, you know, the algorithm is energy.
And I know energy.
And so, like, Joe and Jada, we only been around one year.
Let me tell you something, we got to pay the bills.
What are you saying, stick to the script.
We've been sticking to all scripts in the world.
No.
We ain't even cursing.
shit. This is Maya. We know we got a different level of us. We got to, you know, whenever I say out of you, I got to, hey, Maya. Well, I feel like you got that thing about you. And a lot of women have that and some don't. Where it's like, it's like, you got to respect me. Like, you know, you got to respect her as a woman and not play with her. Like, you play with her. Like, you play with her. Like, you play.
with other people.
She just always, even since she was young,
to me, she's always
had that aura about her that, you know,
yo, say, hey, Maya,
how are you? Everything's great.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep her pushing.
Because she's all about respect.
You know, you don't let a guy think they could
disrespect you or come at you in a certain way.
Even though some full of shit guys anywhere,
they fucking don't give a fuck.
There's some guys like that, you know?
No.
you know.
What's the, what, what's the toast?
The guy said to us down today,
you know, let me tell you say you ain't shit.
Y'all, Jada can say, shit.
You ain't shit.
The hat is nice.
Yo, Jada is crazy.
Yo, your dad's crazy.
Right away.
Your dad is crazy, man.
But, um, Maya, when this new album come out?
Oh, the new album is retrospect.
Retrospect.
The Tiff album.
By the time you see this episode, the album is out.
You know what's good is the same day as Drake's album, right?
So there'll be a lot of emotion.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Shaggy has a little fluidity.
Shaggy.
Shout out to Shaggy.
A lot of fluid.
That's a good day.
You know, before the verses, before verses ever existed, I had a show in San Chope.
And his fat job performed.
And Shaggy shows up and hooked his shit up.
And every song I did, he did a song, he did a song.
He, like, battled me on stage at Central Play for no reason.
He just showed up, Joe, what's up.
I'm friends with Shaggy.
Then he came up there to battle me.
For the song for song, song, song for something.
I'm like, yo, it wasn't me.
I'm like, yo, this one fucker trying to battle me in Central.
Versus before Versus.
Yeah, yeah.
It was a versus before versus Shaggy.
What's the name of this song we're about to play?
Off the new album.
It's off that retrospect album.
Let him know what we do.
Yeah, because that's just the tone.
If I could be your girl.
It's your boy D. Nice.
And welcome to retrospect live as we take you on a trip through one of our favorite time.
D.D.E.
85.
And we're digging in the crates bringing you that funk, that soul, that feel good music.
Oh, it's going down.
So whether you're living in a living room, getting ready for that block party.
or lacing up those skates, you are certainly in the right place for all the good vibes.
Let's do it!
You know that I'm a tacelated, but I just got a...
And I think that you should know...
Whoa!
But I just want to know what's about.
Usually don't do this, but I can't help it.
But now you got just what I won't.
Everything you are
No, I
Why you shouldn't
Just tell me, baby
Because all you got me
Oh, have you ever seen the girl
That goes viral from New York
I started dancing like her for a second
And she'd do that funny face
When she goes slow,
Nephew, you know the girl, right?
She's young.
She do them dances to the old school.
What's her?
We got to bring her on here one day.
We should have brought her for that shit.
She started doing that shit.
She'll have a whole thing.
The man old school shit.
She's killing that shit.
Oh, my goodness.
What's this next song right here?
That was that Janet Jackson sample.
No samples on the sample.
No?
But it's like.
Independence.
She knows she's very reminiscent of Janet Jackson.
Sound like that one.
That's our goodness sound.
It feels like,
but it was no sample.
Jam and Lewis sound.
Watch that one, boy.
Let me tell you.
I had that jammy.
Cuck me off for asking that.
Yeah, don't cut me off.
No, no.
No, no.
No.
No.
No.
new, new, cut me out.
Edit that part.
That's the shit you say you want to cut that out.
That's the shit she can get sued for.
She don't have a sample.
I will say this.
It was inspired by the Minneapolis Sands.
He fucking, trust me.
It's close enough for the bullshit.
I promise.
There's no samples on the album.
I don't want it.
I don't know.
No samples.
He's free, tweaked out.
No samples.
Forrell said it wasn't no sample with the aisle.
He lied.
But it's inspired.
He lied.
And he paid.
He was inspired by the Minnesota
South. Jimmy Jammin.
Minneapolis is Prince.
Prince, Minneapolis.
William Lewis.
Them people's like the IRS.
You can't lie.
You can't.
If you sampled it,
they're coming for your ass.
Brother?
You can say it ain't no samples.
Ain't another.
This is Joyner, Joint?
Ain't another.
This is Joyner?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Teacher and Joyner looks like that.
Let's go.
My God.
Look it there
Nobody
Love your best
I feel
I remember when we met
We got lost in time
Ask you if you had a name
Or can I call you mine
Little funny pick up line
By the ocean
Trying to toss the line
Plenty fish in a seat
And I'll toss the side
Had me ducking all these
To your heart's all mine
Cause trying to find the real ones
Really hard to find
Which one's the single?
Oh well give it to you
I released last year
But D Nice is on it now
To intro the album
So the first part of the album is, you know,
all partied from the specific era
in late 70s into the 80s.
And then midway through number sevens, ain't another.
But the current single is featuring too short,
called Just a Little Bit.
I like that, I like him as a rapper.
Join his, John Lucas, he's dumb nice.
You know what's crazy, he came on a song like Jayekis
would have came on the song.
I'm going to be honest with you, but he came in.
Yeah.
I said, Dan, that's how I kissed with a kid.
He's definitely studied.
Y'all kid, and he's looking at me like I'm stupid or I'm crazy.
I don't know what I'm saying.
You don't know how Jay the kids come on a song?
Yeah, but I don't know how you can say how he is coming on the song like,
maybe my ears, maybe you got different ears.
He killed it.
I do.
I think I would sound totally different.
Oh, no, you definitely do sound different.
The way he came on, that's all I'm saying.
Just the yo, my, yo.
You know, that's how you would have went in on it.
I can't 100% agree with you.
I might even win another route.
Fast, facts, facts.
He'll be on a remit.
No, she actually called me for this album.
I didn't want to take time.
I wanted to put the sound until.
No, no, you was busy.
You was busy.
I can't get him on a song.
And he's sitting right next.
saying this shit.
It's God.
So can I get you on a song?
Because I got a song I want you on.
You think saying it right here is
Yeah, yeah.
Because otherwise I'll be waiting to Antarctica some shit, bro.
That's it.
Brother.
All right.
Retrospect.
Retro-out.

And whoever wrote, did you write those songs?
All about me and moving on with Cisco.
Cisco wrote that.
Yeah.
Let me tell you something.
He wrote some shit.
Oh, yes.
Because it's like when you sing, it's true.
It's too relatable.
You know what I'm saying?
It's too relatable.
And that joint right there, that
Joina Lucas, that's the right way to say it.
Because I'm gonna, I fuck everybody.
That's his name.
Okay, joining Lucas.
That joints are hit.
So, you know, I'm independent like you.
That's the one I blow the bag on.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, yeah.
We're going to shoot a video for it.
If I got to drop that paper,
it's on that thing right there.
This ain't that?
That ain't this.
It's cracking kiss. Make some noise from my...

And guess what?
We created our own podcast called...
Hey, Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We get to ask other people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick.
Tired and sick.

I actually drop better when I'm high.
It heightens my senses.
It calms me down.
If anything, I'm more careful.
Honestly, it just helps me focus.
That's probably what the driver who killed a four-year-old told himself.
And now he's in prison.
You see, no matter what you tell yourself, if you feel different, you drive different.
So if you're high, just don't drive.
