Hey y'all, whether it's morning, evening, or afternoon,
I'm just glad that you guys had decided to vibe with E.
Yes, I'm E for the ones that are new here.
Welcome to Vibing with E
and for the oldies, but goodies.
Y'all already know the drill.
I want y'all to sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode
because as always, every vibe that I bring to y'all's attention
is something new and it's worth talking about, okay?
So let's get into it.
Today's vibe of the day is music.
And the reason why today's vibe of the day is music
is because I just feel as though who doesn't like music?
And, man, it's a lot that you can say with me.
It's about music that it's just like one of those
therapeutical ways that can help us on a daily basis.
Like, it's just so amazing what people can do
when it comes to music, even with its lyrics or no lyrics.
You know, it's just like, how did you turn that
into something so beautiful that flow just as like,
oh, so let's get real deep into it.
Music is such an inspirational language
that speaks to us deeply.
It is powerful to evoke on our emotions
and transpire us to different places and times.
Like, it is truly amazing what music can do to us.
It brings people together from all walks of life,
units, things of that nature.
And it touches us in unique ways.
Like, it's undescribable ways that music just does something
to us.
Whether it's a smoothing melody that brings us comfort
or an upbeat rhythm that gives us our feet moving,
healing and expiring us with our inner emotions as well.
That makes our imaginations too worth the while.
So with that being said, let's embrace the music,
like the beautiful magic of music
and let it do so good for us.
Like, let's continue it to be good for us, you know?
And that's a little something from the black bug.
So let me give further insight why I chose music.
The reason why I chose music overall
is because who doesn't like music?
Who doesn't like listening to their favorite artist, group,
whoever, and or instruments, you know?
Cause most music at times, I fell as though
at times you don't need to hear lyrics.
Sometimes you wanna hear a person.
Sometimes like, I just wanna hear instruments.
Like, that's what jazz come in.
It's so smoothing.
It's very, very touching.
And when I mentioned too, with the imagination,
it's like, you haven't just listened to a song
and the beat, the melody, it has you fantasizing
that you're somewhere like on a beat or in space or whatever
because music, it can break you, can make or break you.
I ain't even right, like it can make or break you.
And you all already know, I always have to bring up
the pros and cons of every vibe.
I talk about because at times, things are measured
differently from what I see versus what y'all see.
And sometimes we agree on it, sometimes we don't know.
It's okay, you know, we're human.
We have the right to feel the way we feel, okay?
So let's get into the pros about music.
I'ma say this, as a little girl, I loved music.
Like music from all different genres, ages, whatever.
Music itself versus back then, till now, is very different.
And you know, in the media too, it always say like,
you know, music from the 70s, 80s, 90s,
it's not the same as the early 2000s
and late 2000s in today, which is true
because they all had different messages.
It's in the same genre, but it's just different messages.
Like I love good R&B.
And versus from the 70s, 80s, 90s to early 2000s later
and then today, their messages is very different.
Some is trying to bring it back
and some is trying to put us on a holding path.
And one thing I was reading in media,
people was like R&B is dead.
I feel like it's not so dead.
It's just that everybody has a different way of expressing
their type of, you know, expressing themselves
when it comes to them being on a beat.
It's like very different.
Like rap, that's a whole nother ballgame.
Like, you know, back then, you know,
70s, 80s, 90s versus early 2000s late.
And today, everybody has a different way
of expressing themselves on a beat.
And some of it's catchy and some of it is like,
what the hell is he saying?
What is he saying?
But you know, it's like, sometimes it would be like nowadays,
anybody listen to any goddamn thing.
And then sometimes it's like, yeah,
some people do, some people don't.
But it's like, you can't judge that person
for what they like and what they think is right
because you never know.
Like that music might help them get through something.
And that's another thing too.
Like when it comes to the pros of music,
the pros of music to me,
I have playlists for days with different types of moves.
Like I just made one recently for like,
who was giving you,
when I'm in the mood to be like outside with my friends
and I wanna feel good at turn up music,
I made a playlist called The Beddies
cause I wanna feel like a beddy when I'm outside
and I wanna have that beddy energy.
Like, you know, I wanna feel like Cash Dog,
Megan Staggin, sometimes Trina Lil' Kim.
Who knows, you know, I just wanna feel good
and that music just makes me feel good.
Even though at times we might not listen to the lyrics,
the beat just get us, especially the city girls.
Lotto and Lola, like sometimes their lyrics
don't get to me sometimes, the beat do,
but like then I replay it, I'm like, oh my God,
she's spitting, oh my God, it's spitting.
I didn't know that, you know?
Versus like, you know, we all have the moments
when we're sad, we all have them sad playlists
and if you don't, something wrong with you.
It's like, nothing's wrong with you at all.
It's like, certain people just do certain things,
like me, I love music of all different genres,
like music is one of the ways that keep me sane
and I believe that music is a way to keep people sane
because other people can put an impact
on someone to people, you know?
Like my favorite, one of my favorite artists
that's a female, her words is very, very, very soft
and the message that she's addressing also just,
whoo, this makes it like wow, oh my gosh,
with the beat and everything.
Shout out to Chade.
I grew up listening to Chade from my parents.
My mom would play it all the time, you know,
Chairs of the Day, the Kiss of Life
and love is stronger than pride
and the sweets have booed, like things like that,
like cherry pie and all that stuff, like,
that type of music is what I listen to on a daily basis.
Versus also, you know, you got your Jill Scott,
love Jill Scott, Erkobite, Doolorn Hill, you know?
It's so many other people that I listen to
within that genre that's like so soft.
With the men, my favorite artist is Wale, like, oh my gosh.
From like, you know, ambition, like,
it is so much I can go, like, his to me for a man,
he really is poetic.
That is one poetic man, I'm sorry.
That is one poetic man, like when people say
he is in his prime, that's what people care.
I feel like he's still in his prime
because his music, you know, that's nothing to,
artist has music that I feel is though,
the ones that are not, the songs that are not as big
should be big.
Those would be their best songs.
Like Wale, like my favorite song,
one of my favorite songs is Caramel with him.
A lot of people don't like that.
I'm like, what?
Like Caramel, that's not a song, Fire and Ice, like,
coming right now.
Like, what, like, what do y'all not know about this stuff?
Like, I have a whole playlist with Wale too.
Like, there's so many songs that I like for him,
like, Ambitious Girl, Caramel, Fire and Ice,
you know, it's like, Lose He a Love, Love Hate Thing,
you know, it's a lot of things.
Pre-Girl, like, the list goes on, Savatars,
like the list goes on and people just be like,
people don't listen, I feel like people don't listen
to people unless they're hot.
And that's another thing about music too,
that I feel as though like, sometimes you don't need
to keep up with the latest music,
because at times certain people can't relate to it.
Like me, some music that my siblings listen to,
I can't keep up with, like my brother loves Trippy Red,
I can't keep up with, I listen to him,
but some stuff I just can't keep up with.
Like my little sister, she loves Little Dirt,
I listen to Little Dirt, but like those are
Trippy Red Little Dirt, I listen to that old stuff,
some of that new stuff I can get into and it's like,
oh my God, I can't get into it, like,
my sister loves Little Dirt King Vaughn,
I like the old, I like the old stuff,
new them is cool too, but it's just not for me, you know?
But I don't knock them for liking what they like,
cause that's what they like, cause they don't need to be like,
you got an old song, what do you listen to this,
who listen to that?
Like yesterday I was like, I was on my playlist
and I was looking at this song, I was like,
ooh, it was an old song, of course it was an old song,
and it was just like, oh my gosh, I like the song.
And I really love the song,
and that's another thing too, that in my household,
our parents made sure that we were able to listen
to different types of genres of music
and not just one, like my dad, like,
yeah, we listen to hip hop and rap,
and that's how I got introduced to like,
and GZ, within the rap type of thing,
and you know, like I always be like,
dang, the first person to put me on the GZ was my father,
I was a little, I used to say like,
when my dad would, if I would go with my dad,
I was like, turn it right up, I turn it right up,
if it was GZ, somebody like that,
and then also like, when it was time to play like,
okay, the soft music and stuff, you know, it helped me,
and that's another thing too, soft music and things like that
can help you mentally, like I tell people all the time,
like mentally, stuff can help you,
especially like, when is that time?
Like when I had those problems,
I listened to burnt fires, Wale,
a little bit of Bryson Sulla, Lucky Day, you know,
I listened to these people, you know, Drake and all them,
you know, you gotta listen to these people,
sometimes their messages is like, wow,
like dang, you really put something on me,
like I never thought of it like that,
and the way people have these like metaphors
and similes and stuff, I'm like, wow,
I never really thought like that,
and I always say, an artist is a poet too,
because no matter what genre it is, rap, hip hop, R&B,
so whatever the blues, whatever,
you're really a poet because the way you have your words
flowing and like narrating everything,
that's some poetry shit right there,
that's some real talent right there,
cause see me, I could write a poem in poetry like that,
but on the beat, nah, I can't, like certain stuff,
it's just not for me, it's like,
me is even one of the other, but artists is both,
like, it's both, and it's such a beautiful thing
because a lot of people cannot do that, you know,
it's like, I'm from the city, of course,
I'm from Baltimore, and there's a lot of rappers,
you know, there's a lot of rappers you hear,
you know, little school, everybody knows school,
when you hear Baltimore, you think of school,
Robbie has, you know, Skola,
and now you think of Roddy Rich, Roddy Rags,
you don't think of Roddy Rich no more,
cause it's like, oh, we got Roddy Rags,
who the fuck is Roddy Rich?
It's probably like, ooh, cause like when he came out,
so I was like, I don't even know who the fuck
Roddy Rich is no more, but yeah, like OTR Chas,
like we just have so many people out here that rap,
but they can do that, like they can rap on the beat,
they can do acapella, like they just do it,
like shout out to my city for that,
because they talented, same thing with the female suit,
like we got females up here that does that too,
but it's a talent, like that's a real strong talent,
I feel it though, when it comes to music,
that's how people be like, oh, I'm focused on my music,
my music, and music don't always have to be just lyrical,
like I always say, like you could be like the best piano player,
the best drummer, saxophone guitar,
like anything, longest involved music you got,
like music is such a beautiful thing,
like music is, I suppose though,
a keeper that is always gonna be there for you,
regardless, because there's always people out there
that has these songs, that has messages for a reason
that someone is going to be attracted to,
and it's gonna help them, like I'll never forget
when I took black families at my university last semester,
and my professor was like, she would play music,
and then she would ask her students,
cause she was a school counselor at one,
she was like, what type of music you listen to?
And I do believe the type of music also affect you at times,
cause like dudes in the city be like,
oh, are you motherfuckers, listening to city girls,
Megan the Stallion stuff, y'all wanna live there,
like not necessarily, me not necessarily,
I don't, you know, I can't be a city girl if I try,
I'm a hot girl for sure, because Megan was in school,
and was still working her career, you know,
and she made it known, she like, you know,
hot girls do that and stuff, you know,
I'm not mocking the city girls, you know,
I'm not knocking them at all,
I just get, be a city girl, cause that's not me,
even if I try, I would fail, I would fail the mission.
So it's like, you know, certain things,
certain things are not for everybody, you know,
certain things, and you got your hot girls,
city girls, icy girls, you got the dolls, you know,
cash dolls, Asian dolls, cutin' dolls, like, you know,
you got every era, you know, coming up, it's always like,
yes, like that, and Nicki Minaj, you know,
they got the barbs, Beyonce got the beehive, you know,
everybody got some, like all the famous people
got little clubs and things like that, there,
I'd say fans, like that's their fan base, you know,
and I feel like when you come famous too,
when it comes to music and the people that consider them,
consider this, don't blame your fan base
because they look up to you, and certain artists,
I do and do not look up to you, because of certain reasons,
not because of what they say in the media, you know,
sometimes you just can't, you know,
get hooked onto their music, and that brings me back to like,
when my professor was saying like, you know,
with her students, some of the artists
that they would listen to their music rub them
in a certain type of way, and I always believe that, like,
sometimes the music we listen to rub us in the wrong way
and have us thinking, oh, this is how we should be living,
this is what we need to do, and that's where the cons
come in with music, when it comes to younger generation,
I'll never forget I had to do a project on the youth,
and I picked music because, you know, the youth loves music,
like kids, children, children loves music,
and who doesn't love music, and it's a lot of young artists,
you notice out here doing music, but a lot of music
they listen to is rap, and I remember I was saying,
like, I feel as though at times, the music that our children
listen to, our children are listening to,
can have a big impact on them because some children think,
oh, what they see in here is what's bright,
versus what's behind the scenes of what their artists are doing,
and that's another thing too, with music,
you can fake the funk, like, you can do genres
that you don't even be hooked on, and like, you just do it
because this is what's making money,
and this is what's hot right now.
I feel as though with music, if you like country,
do country music, you know, you don't like rap music,
but your team's telling you do it because this is hot,
it's like, don't get peer pressure
into something you don't like, it's like, don't,
if you know your craft, your heart, and so on,
everything is within country, do it, don't do it
because your team telling you do rap
because you got the look, and that's another thing too,
with music too, a lot of people don't take most artists
seriously because of the look, like, I'll never forget too.
I was watching Cass Dahl video, and she was like,
all I talk about is getting money,
I always try to influence women to get their own money
because once you with a dude, even if you have
your own money or not, and you know,
go off a beat if anything was to happen
to y'all, break up or something, they quick to call,
you broke, which is true, and this vice versa,
we quick to call a dude broke when things happen,
and she was like, that's probably why my music
not hot right now, because I'm all about getting money,
I'm all about independence, you know,
versus some music is about talking about
what you ought to do to get money,
or how to pimp a dude, and things like that,
which like I said, those type of music,
that's like music, I listen to when it's time to turn up,
I can't listen to it every day because it's like,
you know, once you listen to everything,
it's like, okay, now I gotta get out here,
and let me figure out the cheat code of how to do this, no.
And I love Cass Dahl, like I'll listen to her,
like the old and the new, and that's what she talked about,
like getting money, be independent, have your own,
so like, go off a beat if anything is to happen to you,
a man can't say that he took care of you and brought you up,
and that's another thing two people feel are realized,
just because that artist is not where they at,
like I said, those songs that they had,
that is not so popular, they'll be the best ones,
like what they call them, the underground artist,
I think as though they're, the only reason why they're
underground is because they're not getting the type of,
they're not getting the type of attention
that they supposed to get, like I said, like,
from right back to why, like a lot of people was like,
oh, back in 2011, 2012, 13, 14, all that,
he was in his prime, I say, like,
all this is something prime of a god is,
it's just that, it's just though the media doesn't like
that song within that present time,
because they feel as though it's not giving the energy
that's going on now, you know,
certain music from certain, like, you know,
big time artists, you know, they're not getting
the recognition that they was getting back then,
because the media's like, the media's like,
they don't want to hear that, that's all they're done with,
it's like, it's cool, but it's not catchy enough,
and it's not first, you know, and like I said,
I'm a big firm believer on having multiple tastes of music,
cause me, I love a good taste of music,
like jazz is a, ooh, jazz, oh my gosh,
it's like homework, my dad always say,
you don't need to listen to all that stuff, listen to jazz,
cause quiet, when I was little, I used to say,
they just put me to sleep, sometimes dead,
like, you know, soothing sounds and stuff,
they put you to bed, and when you get older,
you realize you're like, oh my God, they so calm,
and it just make you, make your mind and stuff go blink.
I believe in those, I believe, you gotta listen to your
parents, grandparents, and guardians, y'all,
cause they know, shoot, they know, cause I used to sit there
and be like, this is going to put me to sleep,
I don't want to hear this, but now when I got older,
it's like, dang, it's peaceful, it's helping me,
it calms you down, that's another thing too,
why I say music is one of the keepers for us,
because music helps you mentally,
and a lot of people mentally and physically,
because you know, sometimes you don't wanna sing it,
hum it, whatever, you dance to it,
it's a lot of people that's really creative too,
when it comes to dances, when it comes to music,
from all different types of cultures,
like, I just be so amazed, like, art itself,
dance, music, all that, from my people,
as always, shout out to the black community,
we always have a way to express ourselves
with multiple things, like music and dance,
art and music, like, anything that we can make something up
and make it something hot, it's gonna happen,
like, we're just a jack of all trades,
like, it's just a jack of all trades for us,
like, I never seen another culture do as much as ours does,
like, we have a way with really, really, really
making things shake, you know, and it's just beautiful,
and we come to support too, we are supporting each other,
I don't really see no beats on rap beats
or anything like that, you know,
and that's nothing too, the media always tries
to get people to get in those types of situations
because one's hot and the other or hotter,
it's like, I feel as though, regardless,
people gonna make their money,
famous people gonna make their money regardless,
they're making money regardless,
like, the other way it goes, if the media like it or not,
they still getting money, they got gigs,
like, they can go to a fashion show or walk through,
they making money like that, like, you know,
like, one artist that she always keep a low profile,
but she is, I feel as though she should be way, way, way
big within the media, and she would always
get her praise is Solange, I'm like, I love Solange,
shout out to my cancer sister, I love Solange,
like, the way she just holds her standards,
like, the way she presents herself and everything,
like, she is so creative, she can dance her,
but her fashion, I love it, like I said,
our black people is the, like, we are like,
the jack of all trees, and she is the jack of all different
trees, acting, fashion, modeling, dancing, singing, rapping,
like, she does it, and she doesn't get all her flowers for,
you know, Beyonce do, because Beyonce's out there,
but I feel as though she should get the same attention
as her sister does, but, you know, a lot of people
have their own opinions about things, you know, like,
ooh, you know, all that, but yes, I love Solange to death,
like, I listen to her old songs, like, Tony,
and things like that, I love it, like, see me,
I love to dig up the old stuff, like, give me the old,
I learned a new later on down the line,
but give me that old, because that's where it started at,
that's where the peak of, like, who they are,
I feel as though too, like, when somebody is, like,
starting their debut within music and things like that,
you see what they are, you see how things are,
like, you see how their approaches and the messages
they're trying to give, how they do this, how they do that,
that grabs my attention all the time, because, you know,
like I said, I don't let the media fool me
within this music, you know, some people,
their music is really good, like, another artist,
I love the death, that a lot of people
would be having a X about her, and I don't like that,
Flo Milley, like, I love the way she just, like, does things,
like, you know, she takes little bits and pieces
of, like, the older songs and put it in the newer generation
with her spin of it, and it's just like, oh my gosh,
it's mind blowing that what female artists can do,
let alone male artists, like, I feel like female artists
really can put a spin on things, and at times,
they don't get a lot of praises like the men do,
but that's why as a community, as the black community,
as a whole, I see that we lip each other up so much,
because, like, when they were trying to come for her,
when she made the Redid the little, Redid,
little Wayne song, trying to do that,
I thought it was all nothing was wrong with it, you know,
I felt nothing wrong with it all,
she just put her own little spin and taste on it,
she put the flow in it, she put the flow that she is,
that's what she's about, you know,
flow really gonna put her flow in it regardless,
is if you gonna like it or not, but yeah,
a lot of people just be trying to,
trying to dictate people, and I don't like that,
you know, I don't like that at all, but yeah, I love,
I love that within our community that we,
we are really supportive of each other,
yes, I love that within the black community,
like that we are very supportive when it comes to anything
that we put our minds to, like if we see one person,
you know, you know, just starting out in music,
is always somebody that's there to help uplift them,
like Nicki Minaj, like when it comes to all the female artists
that came out like Ice Vise, Chloe LeRae,
and all them like that, and Be A Be A, and stuff like that,
she hopped on their tracks, cause she like,
they tracks or whatever, and you know,
just help them get the more,
get the more recognition, that's what I'm looking for,
recognition that they deserve, because I feel as though,
when it comes to female artists from all genders,
from all genres, sorry, from all genres,
they don't get a lot of recognition like the men do,
and especially when it comes to hip hop,
they don't get enwrapped, they don't get a lot of recognition
like they supposed to, cause you know,
like I said, the media always try to play you,
like when music you should listen to,
or try to put the girls up against each other,
and that's just like,
I still believe in the same girl power,
like and they do too, like nobody wanna go back and forth
on the internet about a song, because at the end of the day,
they can go back and forth all day long,
they making money, versus us going back and forth
all day about them, they making money,
while we not making no money at all,
just wasting all data and space, going back and forth,
but you know, sometimes you do gotta collect that at people,
because like people only do that because of the fake narrative
that others are telling the media about somebody,
like it's been times where I would look at these comments,
like are you serious, like people really sit here
and talk about this person like that,
and they don't know them from a can of paint,
so it's like you can't talk about somebody,
if you never sat down to have a fling,
like a freaking conversation about them,
you're just a fan base, you don't know what's going on,
like you can't just be talking about these people,
and get mad because a person says,
they know give them a flower,
and you just trying to make them flowers die,
like I don't like that, like,
you know, put some respect on somebody's name,
don't dish it, cause you don't like it,
and that's the thing that I say is a calm within music,
because like sometimes in this,
you can't even tell people what you like and who you like,
cause they always like, he phony, she phony,
she not all that, I don't wanna hear that,
like some people, I don't even sell type of music,
I like my close friends, they already know
what type of music I like, the Odie McGuddies,
the Odie McGuddies, like I said,
when it's time for me to turn up,
and it's time for me to, you know,
we gonna pull out the new jewels,
but when it's time to settle down,
and wind down, and do what you gotta do,
baby I'm playing the Odie McGuddie, okay?
And let me tell y'all something,
nothing is more exciting when, you know,
your brain be having them little thoughts in it,
you know, that your brain will have you
remembering songs that you used to grow up to,
or a song that impacts your life,
and you know, you hit a little words,
you remember the hook or the melody,
and thank God for Google, and Apple Music is Spotify
for having us type it up, or just say it,
and it just pop up, like it's nothing,
nothing that makes me more happy than discovering
old music that I used to listen to, grew up to,
or help me within a situation like,
I have songs that are pointing where like,
when I'm going through stuff, I'm playing it,
like, you know, when I'm upset, you know,
I have songs that help me uplift me,
and it's always some songs that have you upset,
because within that given moment, like, you know,
I feel like all girls, we had a song for a dude
that we liked, and then, you know,
it's you not cool that dude no more,
y'all broke up, and every time that song come on,
it's just like, what the fuck, I don't wanna hear this shit.
Like, I had my mom, it's like, I don't wanna hear,
like, an ASAP, it was like, ASAP third,
and burnt by a song, Dreams, Fairy Tale, and Fantasies,
that I love that song with a passion,
but sometimes that song used to get me upset
because, you know, at one point in time,
that song was about somebody, that song,
I liked it so much that I felt like,
I was like living that song, but, you know,
as years went past, me and the person, you know,
split and whatever, and now, it's just like,
I listened to that song, like, I just discovered it again,
like, it just, like, okay, you know,
sometimes it is music that it hurts us, it does,
sometimes the music hurts us, because not even the message,
sometimes the person, the way that they just,
their voice is so, like, beautiful,
it makes you wanna cry, you know,
God forbid, you know, we go to funerals,
and they had the people of this thing in the choir,
it makes you cry even more,
cause it's a beautiful song, but you,
but the way you sang it, it makes it even more so sad,
because it's like, your voice is just so,
oh, and it's making me not wanna, you know, cry or anything,
like, I, man, that's another thing too,
when it comes to music, people are very talented
when it comes to the rapping, the singing,
and things like that, like, I just be like, oh my gosh,
if I knew how to sing like that,
I knew how to rap and stuff like that,
I would kill it, like, the other day,
I was listening to Nicki Minaj, I think it was Barbie Dreams,
Barbie Dreams, I said, man, if I could rap like that,
and talk about like how she did, I'd be killing it,
because, like I said, for me,
it's even one of the others, like,
you even know how to write it,
or you know how to talk on it, you know,
rap, spit it with the beat, try it, it's not for me,
like, it's not for me, like, I really just really,
really love the way how people have ways of expressing
things about when it comes to music, or you know,
the semiles and metaphor when it comes to music,
because baby, not a lot of people can do this,
and I know at times, I just be like,
I know these artists be in the studio like, bro,
how did we just make this happen?
How did I do this?
What am I doing like, oh my gosh,
like this is really crazy, you know, this is all,
but like I said, shout out to my people,
we can turn nothing into something
when it comes to anything we put our minds to,
and like I said, music is one of the many gateways
that is so, so healing, therapeutic,
like music has its pros, its cons,
but nevertheless, music is not gonna die,
I mean, keep it nobody's safe, music will never die,
and you know what I'm saying, never say never,
but I feel like music, you hear it everywhere,
when you wake up in the morning, you, we listen,
if you still had the radios, you know,
the old fashioned radios, you know,
when you wake up in the morning,
you're gonna hear some music, or you know,
your TV's playing, music's gonna pop up,
some type of music, even from the little kids,
like Grace's Corners,
that one right there, let me tell you how to,
when it comes to little kids,
oh, they gonna sing some Grace's Corner,
or some Cocoa, Melon, Baby Shark, or whatever, you know,
like to us, Grace's Corners, oh my gosh,
when I discovered that song, discovered the show,
and everything, I'm like, oh my gosh,
she make this music for grown people,
it's for the babies, but for grown people,
it's like, oh my gosh, where would you at
when I was a little kid, you know,
like from all genders, John was like,
black people is very talented, because,
like I said, at times when you do come out,
you will not have all the glitz and glance
like you want to, it takes time,
and once you keep putting that forth,
like effort and all that, you're gonna get recognized,
and that's gonna be the best feeling ever,
and that's what it is when it comes to music,
when you discover new music from people,
and then you see how they grew so much,
and they finally get the flowers and things they deserve,
it's so good to say you witnessed that happen,
because it's from people that I follow on Instagram,
that are like from Atlanta, New York, New Jersey,
and you know, they just rap and sing on Instagram,
and they're finally getting the praises that they deserve,
and then I'd be like, oh my gosh,
I really seen you on Instagram playing your guitar,
piano, doing whatever, you start as small,
and you finally get the recognition that you get,
and like Summer Walker is the prime example
that I love using, because you know,
at first she was just, you know, she had a cleaning company,
she was doing that, she worked so hard,
you know, studio times, everything,
she did a whole lot of things to get to where she at today,
and that is a big step, same thing with like, you know,
Wale, Chris Brown, Brent Fahy, all them,
like a lot of people within the black community
that's involved with all different types of genres of music,
like Queen Nages, they're YouTube, and she sung,
and she finally getting the flowers and praises
that she deserved, like all those type of people,
it takes a good while for things to happen,
you know, it takes time for you to get the recognition
that you deserve, and it takes time for you
to realize when is your time,
like I always say, whoever you pray to or believe in,
they're up there having that blueprint already ready for you,
they just are not gonna drop it as soon as possible,
they're gonna make that miracle happen
once they see that you're really putting in all the time
and effort like you're supposed to,
and I believe that, especially when it comes to music,
because like I said, like Lotto, for example,
she got discovered from the rap game,
that's when everybody knew her, you know,
I've seen her a few times on YouTube,
but I really got a full, you know,
understanding of her on the rap game,
she's living it now, same thing with like Deetranada
and Little Keys, that's from Baltimore,
if you from Baltimore, you already know how you discover them
from the party, things like that,
but people discovered them from the rap game,
if they get the recognition they deserve to you,
and I feel like they should be famous,
more famous than they are, like, you know,
certain things like that, you know, certain people,
you vouch for them, you're like, bro,
they need to be hired in it,
they need to be up there with this and that,
this and that, you know, but yeah,
it's nevertheless, y'all, music, I feel as though,
is the freaking blueprint, the key to everything,
like you went through a bad day, play a song,
you, you stressed and play that song,
you depressed, play that song, you happy, play that song,
you excited, you, you know, you have an interview,
you know, whatever, the music is going to help you relax
and calm your nerves before you hit any type of drug.
And I say this to say, because like, when I did counseling,
like my counseling courses before I became certified,
I would always tell people, writing is the key to everything,
and also music, doing things that you love to do,
and things like that, it helps you,
like it helps you, longest you just find ways
to cope with your situations and things like that,
do what makes you happy, and I feel as though music is the,
is a way for people to express themselves
and having others that they listen to help them express
this else as well, like music is a beautiful thing,
regardless what gender, the genre it is
and what gender is displaying it, music is music,
and music is like, is so beautiful,
music is one of the many things that I feel as though
that it helps everyone help, from the babies,
to the grownups, the older, the elderly, you know,
it helps everybody, because music has a story,
and what the artist is saying within that song is a story,
and all the stories that you hear are stories
that they've been through, or it's stories
that others wrote, like songwriters wrote,
and they felt as though that they couldn't say it,
so they gave it to this person
because they like the way they flow,
and they can make the lyrics speak for itself,
like Tink, that's a good,
he's a good motherfucking songwriter, I'm sorry,
he's a good songwriter, he good with that pen, y'all,
Babyface, and all of them is good with the pen,
like Babyface had Tony Braxton singing them songs,
and she was good with it, you know,
and then you never knew that that was their story,
or like they'll say, I'm talking, you know,
which one's okay, throw a top out there,
and they write a song, like I said,
shout out to the black community,
like y'all, y'all oughta really do y'all research,
because I'm telling y'all, like, it's right there,
it's there, like music artists, like, oh my God,
it's amazing, like actors, actors, all that,
like they are, they're amazing,
especially within the black community,
like we're really amazing, like black beauty is just like,
is so amazing, like we really just do things,
and we just, at times people gonna be like,
what, oh my God, how you do that?
It's a black thing, you don't know,
you know, you black, you understand,
if you're not a baby, I don't know what to say,
but yes, nonetheless, y'all,
I just hope that this episode really brightens up y'all there,
because I know y'all out there listening to music,
or y'all like to listen to instruments or things like that,
whatever it is, longest is music involved,
and y'all, I hope y'all agree with some of the points
that I made as well, because this episode was like,
my favorite, like this topic is really one of my favorites,
like this vibe was like, I'm like,
I gotta talk about this, because like,
I was listening to music the other day, and you know,
like I said, like, your mind really will play tricks on you,
too, like, dang, oh my God, I still,
I don't know how I remember that,
and it makes it funny, too,
like when you out on your room or something,
and your mind will know the lyrics before your mouth does,
like that little voice in your head,
know everything before you can verbally get it out,
you know, and that'd be the funniest thing ever,
because it'd be some songs, I'd be like, hold up,
let me, hold up, I gotta think of the lyrics,
that little voice we having, the lyrics on lock, okay?
But yes, y'all, nevertheless,
I wish y'all nothing but peace and blessings,
I thank y'all also very much for taking the time
out y'all busy days to listen to me as well,
like I really, really appreciate that,
I really do, like that really touches me in so many ways,
but yes, like I say all the time,
I wish y'all nothing but peace and blessings,
stay hydrated and safe out here,
cause it feels summertime, and baby, it's getting hot,
it's hot, like, summer's not over till like,
mid-September, so we gonna rock out,
but we gonna rock out the safe way, okay?
But yes, I cannot wait for you guys to hear my voice again,
