Hi everybody, today's guest is back for a second appearance on
the show and if you heard our first conversation that you
already know. He brings opinions, humor and a
real love for the culture that keeps everything flowing
naturally. If you have forgotten, he is a
proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated and like
myself, Tom Beta Sigma Incorporated.
He is also a member of the Hampton University Marching
Force, a part of Sticky Situation, and he is the voice
behind the Chaotic Culture podcast, which started all the
way back in 2020. KJ.
Yeah, it's been, it's been almost six years.
Crazy. They have been talking about
sports, anime, movies, music, TV and everything shaping the
culture long before this land got crowded.
At this point we might as well admit it.
BGE is nicely a RIP off of what Kayla culture.
Kayla culture is this. We both have the same passion
for geek culture. We have the same debates, the
same love of stories that bring people together.
He has also brought those conversations into real world
spaces as a panelist for Blurred Khan and Anime NYC Right Eddie,
where he is connecting directly with audience who audiences who
live at the intersection of fandom and identity.
Please give a round of applause for our most favorite guest,
Kendrick James. And he didn't throw the legal
out and everything, man. But I guess I have my my legal
name on the screen and everything but.
Yeah, I'm just saying what's on the screen.
You you write. You write for those who don't
know, of course, my legal name, Kendrick James, but most friends
call me KJ on screen. When I do the podcast in in any
other space, I go by KED the Pro.
I am the host and the creator of the cataculture podcast.
I'm also a Co host of Inside of the Mind of a Blurred podcast,
which is like 9 or 10 of us. So yeah, but but that chaotic
culture is my baby. I have been doing this podcast
for six years just about and as as he said, Jardo just gave me
like a crazy introduction. Usually I give the crazy
introductions to myself. But anyway, I have I I do do my
intros where I say like live from the four O 1 O.
I'm the host of creator of the cataculture podcast Boycott the
pro, AKA the calculator millennial, AKA the encore
presentation. I don't know if you can hear
that, but it's Can I get an encore?
Do you want more AK? Your favorite toxic adjacent
king KED the poet KED the closer. 843 is me.
Baltimore is the place to be currently.
Always chaotic and never toxic most days.
And back again once again on BG E.
I'm just so thankful to be with my brothers again, DeMarcus and
Giardo. I always have fun with talking
to them and just having fun being in this space.
I have been, of course, a guest before on this podcast and they
have been a guest on my podcast. So I will say that Jardo does
talk to more industry people than I do currently because of
the way that my schedule has been working out.
It just doesn't seem that I've been able to fit anything, you
know, into what I want to do. But that schedule is going to be
lighting up very, very soon here.
So I will be able to reach out to more people and talk more
about that intersectionality between black culture and nerd
culture. And I.
And I cannot wait to see and do these things for the pod.
But in the meantime, I'm just thankful to be here.
Yeah. And we're.
Yeah. No, that was great.
We don't ever get nothing like that over here.
We just talk to people and we don't really know what we're
about to say next. Like all these industry people,
we that come on here, we're like, hey, let's just have a
conversation and you have a plan.
And it seems very detailed. We just be going off the, the,
the, the roof. Yeah.
And we and Doctor Seuss land over here.
I will say that some of my interviews are off the top of
the Dome as well. Like I, I typically try to have
these conversations and I let them flow as necessary, but
there are those people where I do have to have like a set of
questions just to be sure that I'm fully prepared.
But the, the last couple interviews I did were just
straight off the Dome because I've been doing this for so long
now. It's just kind of a, it kind of
comes natural to you when you've, you know, engaged with
guests on your podcast for multiple years now.
So it's like, OK, well, you know, I just what I can ask this
question. Oh, let me, you know, ask a
follow up to that question. And it just.
It just happens to flow naturally.
Well, OK, good. I'm glad you said that because
as my daddy in this podcast, Fear, how do you you know,
because we're talking to somebody who is incredibly
important next week. And he's about to make a movie
that is being executive produced by Oprah Winfrey about HBCU band
culture. And he has done the choreography
on many Disney movies. He's always on RuPaul's Drag
Race. He has been a figure in my life
on TV, you know, a gay icon for about 15 years or so.
So I'm coming into this as a real fan.
But how do I tone down that fandom and like ask him
questions that other people would be interested in knowing
the answer to and then not to do that, but not ask questions that
every other interviewer is going to ask?
Like how do I do that? Outside of maybe watching other
interviews and see how other people may interview them, you
always want to like, ask questions that I think that
pertain to your fandom. I think that's what makes the
experience unique. I can't say, you know, go in
there and, you know, not act, not act like a super fan because
if you are, then there's really no containing that.
But there is no way for you to like focus on the interview
instead of like geeking out because your favorite person is
there. I remember meeting Phil Lamar,
for those who don't know, you know, very prominent voice
actor, most famously for me, yes, Static Shock, but he's done
so many other roles as well. But what kept me from like just
geeking out, right And there is just to, you know, focus on,
Hey, he's signing an autograph, talk to him like he's a normal
person and then ask him more questions about what it takes to
like be a voice actor in the industry and then get about the
way because somebody else is behind me.
So I think that if you focus more on like the don't over
focus on the interview portion, but if you just focus on, you
know, what questions that would be important to both you and
that person at the same time, I think that's where you get a
very unique experience because you can easily go and ask them
questions about, you know, what they're doing, how the movie
making process is going. What are some of the research
that they've been doing? Have they sat in a band room and
things like that? But then do something that's
like unique to your experience. You could say, like, did you get
a chance to if we were bringing a Bevany fire here, did you get
a chance to sit and talk with any of the dance troupe girls?
Like did you get a chance to sit and see their practices and how
often they practice, especially during like the mini band camps
or even during a summer band camp if you've gotten that
experience? Or you could talk about their
feelings about school and things like that.
Just something that would be unique to your experience.
Yeah, I, I was definitely going to ask about the band experience
because I, I was going over the questions in my head.
I was, I want to ask a question about like extra practices about
who was the consultant because I know the coaches here and I know
who has done the HBCU type things in Atlanta.
So I know who is on the list, and I have thoughts about the
majorette consultants who have not ever been at a HBCU with a
majorette team. So I have thoughts about that.
And are we just going to talk about it?
But I don't want him to feel. I never want them to feel
uncomfortable. You never want me to be like,
oh, this is just a fan. And I'm not trying to do this.
Like, yeah. So yeah, those are my big days.
But thank you so much for that, those tips.
Some of you also want to talk about is sports because we never
talk about sports. It's good to have a straight man
on here that likes sports because sports is just another
geeky thing and glad. You added that.
Caveat, I mean, we don't have no straight people that like sports
on this show. So I just want to know, a lot of
this haven't happened lately with the NCAA tournament, but
what was that thing that I saw on Twitter about the South
Carolina coach was a black woman, I think she won last
year. And that white coach, that
white. Big coach.
So, yeah, so we got the the the the black coach of the Lady
Gamecocks goes by the name of Don Staley out of Philly, you
know, played in the league and Olympians.
Yeah, she's she is a she's a champion.
She has won the the Final four of the NCAA national
championship multiple times at this point.
The white man is Gino Auriemma, who has long term been the UConn
head coach of the women Huskies. And he has, if I'm not mistaken,
he has 12. He has probably the most
national championships in the women's NCAA basketball
tournament history, if I'm not mistaken on that.
I do not know what sparked that argument if you're that's what
you're talking about. But I know obviously what ended
up happening is that pregame they shook hands, gave a light
hug. I think Gino wanted to shake her
hand again during the right right after the introductions of
what not. But I think that she was just
focused on getting her team together.
And I think that quote UN quote rubbed him the wrong way, though
I think that's bullshit. But in any case, the the game is
long as drawn out is very defensive.
Both of these teams are going back and forth.
UConn initially locks up South Carolina defensively, and then
in the second-half, it's basically flipped.
South Carolina starts locking up UConn defensively to the point
where none of Uconn's players can even buy a basket at this
juncture. And I think that Gino got upset
because he was seeing his teammates being fouled, quote,
UN quote, but the referees weren't catching them.
It's a very, very physical game. And then he complaints that one
of his players got their jersey ripped even though she ripped it
herself. Oh no.
Yeah. And so again, at the end, at the
end of the day, South Carolina ends up beating U Conn and
moving on to the national championship, which, you know, I
know we're recording as of Sunday.
And they're actually, if they're not playing right now, they're
getting ready to play today. And it will be South Carolina
versus, if I'm not mistaken, it'll be UCLA, which is I didn't
even expect UCLA to beat Texas, but they did.
So either way, they go to shake hands at the end of the game.
And Gino says something that sit Dawn off.
I don't know exactly what was said.
Apparently it was very rude because Dawn does not get out of
character like that. And she was, yeah, she she was
downright pissed. Like she was like literally she
said in one of those clips, I will beat Gino's ass.
And I believe, I believe her. I don't know what he said to
her, but he had to say something out of pocket for her to act
like that. She was ready to throw hands
with that white man. And yeah, at the end of the day,
you know, things had cooled down, But instead of the focus
being on South Carolina making the national championship again
and Don Stanley going for her for a fourth title, it became
Gino was a big crybaby and the focus ended up being on him.
So that's kind of what happened in the women's Final Four.
And it sucks because I like UConn.
Granted, I was cheering for the Gamecocks all the way through
because I'm from South Carolina. Like, that's my own team, but I
love U Conn's program. Like, I have nothing against
them. I love watching them play.
I love seeing them win on both the women's side and the men's
side. But apparently that's not the
first time that Gino has been micro aggressive towards other
coaches. Apparently, for those who
remember Pat Summit, before she passed on, she was one of the
she was one of the head coach of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers.
And yeah, she's had problems with Gino in the past and as
well as some other coaches. So it's not the first time he's
been out of character, but that's the first time I've seen
her. And and they lost a lot of cool
points for me because this is like, hey, look, that that was
unnecessary. And he he apologized to the
South Carolina staff, but really he should have apologized to
Don. But.
Yeah, to Don and I and I read the apology, but is he only that
aggressive with women coaches or has he been aggressive with men
as well? I haven't seen I could.
I would not be able to say personally if he has been
aggressive with like the other male coaches within the, the
women's basketball, I, I would not be able to tell you.
But from what I've seen, he has been aggressive to Pat and he
has been aggressive to Don. There might be some other
coaches as well, but those are two that I know are, those are
two coaches I know have gotten under his skin because Gino wins
a lot like that women's basketball team wins.
They have 12 titles under him alone.
So it's not often that he loses, but when he does, you know that
it gets under his skin. And there's not too many coaches
out there who can say, hey, we beat Gino and Don is one of
them. So I'm guessing whatever,
whatever happened, it must have really got to him, but it was
unnecessary. So are you?
That was very insightful because I didn't know what was going on.
I just saw the clip on Twitter of her yelling so what's going
on with Duke? I keep hearing about Duke, Duke,
Duke and I don't know about like what is Duke and and where is
Howard. I end this because I saw them
win the the thing but I don't know where they are now.
All right, so in the men's tournament, let me start with
Howard. Howard won the MIAC and then
they won what they call the 1st 4, which means that you they
play in the first four games of the tournament which the winner
of that game will either get a 16 seed or an 11 seed depending
on how they're ranked. So you Howard was going up
against another 16 seed. They won the 1st 4, which is
basically a play in to get into the playoff or the tournament
and that put them against Michigan and Michigan beat they
ass because Michigan is like literally the number was
Michigan was one of the number one seeds and Michigan right as
we speak, Michigan's actually getting ready to play in the
like the national championship game themselves against EU Conn
men Huskies. So there's that.
But that's what happened with Howard.
Now Duke, for all practical purposes, y'all, I'm a Tar Heel
fan, so I cannot stand Duke, but Duke is a Duke had a lot of they
had of a lot of talent on their team.
A lot of them are what we call one and duns means that they
play one year and then in the next year they're they look
they're likely going on to the league and a lot of them happen
to be freshman. Well, Duke has been hyped up all
season to be this great, great team and probably the best in
the league according to their record.
But the thing about Duke is that their losses have been games
where they have not been able to close out.
And so in their losses, they'll have like a a mini lead and then
in the final minutes of that that half, they'll lose.
And I had been often they'd only lost, I believe two or three
games this entire season. But back to my point, people
were expecting them to go all the way at least into the Final
Four. And it with Duke being a
prestigious basketball program, most people expect them to
either have a national championship or to get to the
Final Four at, you know, in some form or fashion.
The problem is, is that again, that that it's not a stable
program. And what ended up happening is
when they played UConn, they got caught lacking.
They were leading by as many as 15 points at the half and almost
had a 20 point lead on them throughout the game.
But slowly and as the game kept going on in the second-half,
UConn just kept chipping away. This is there in the Elite 8.
At this point, they have not gone to the Final Four yet.
This is the game that will put them in the Final Four.
But UConn just kept slowly chipping away at that lead.
Chipping away at that lead. UConn couldn't buy an outside
shot, but Duke couldn't stop their inside game.
So they just kept laying it up, kept hitting mid range jumpers
slowly but surely could not buy a three and they kept they kept
shortening the lead to the point.
Now it was AI believe it was a four point.
It was a almost a four, a three-point lead or a two point
lead. They Yukon as the ball gets
fouled, they only make one or two shots.
Now at this point, they're down by two and it's like the final
10 seconds. So in this case, for those of
you who don't speak basketball, all that Duke has to do is
inbound the ball and hold it and wait for the other team to
purposely foul them so they can go to the line, increase their
lead to either 3 or 4. If they increase the four, it
pretty much puts the game out of reach for U Conn at that moment.
Instead, what Duke does is once they inbound the ball, they keep
passing it. They pass it to one of the
Boozer brothers and he tries to heave it halfway court, which in
hindsight, when you throw the ball to the other end of the
basketball court to your teammate, if they're open, then
at that point, OK, yeah, you've pretty much wasted a few seconds
off the clock. There's really no way UConn
could come back. Now, even if they do follow and
put you on the line, they would literally have to either he he
even shot, but they will still have no shot.
But the problem is UConn was playing them in a full court
press, which means that they're not waiting to get on the other
court to defend you. They are defending you on the
inbound play and trying to keep you from getting to the other
side of the court. Well.
They defended that heave that the one of the Boozer brothers
tried to do. They got the steal and then they
pass it to one of their freshmen who was a great 3 point shooter
but had not made a single three that entire game.
From the logo, a 35 foot jumper he makes the three.
Golly. And that that pretty much is
Yukon. That Yukon just won the game off
of the last second three. And with .4 seconds left, that's
not enough time for Duke to launch the ball to the other
side, .4 seconds is enough for you to make a shot.
But the problem is that if you're trying to heave it from
full court instead of half court, there's no way.
So they try to heave it. Ball gets deflected, the game is
over. So Duke blew a 19 point lead to
UConn and UConn is now again about to play in the national
championship. So anytime I get a chance to
shit on Duke, I will because I cannot stand the Duke Blue
Temples. I absolutely cannot stand them.
I'm a UNC Tar Heel fan with it comes to basketball.
So I I will literally anytime that Duke falls, I will cheer
it, especially because it's UConn and I like seeing UConn
play. So UConn kind of helped us out
right there. So I'm I'm not complaining one
bit. God.
Lee. Yeah, it's.
When that game came. On when did that game?
That was that was like last weekend.
It was, it was, yeah, it was sometime last week because the
Final four was just, we're recording on Sunday.
The Final Four games were just yesterday.
So this was, yeah, so this was last week, last weekend.
And yeah, man, talk about I watched that play over and over
and over again because I was actually at work when it
happened and I came out of work. I'm just sitting here laughing
my ass off like, hey, I'm I'm enjoying what I'm saying.
KJ have. You been, have you been getting
into the the lady football teams that that's been like springing
up here? And there actually I haven't,
but I wouldn't be opposed to watching them if the if the
ladies are playing football like man, point me to them so I can
watch. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if it's being televised, but Golden State just
got their ladies football team. It's like pro full tackle
football, but it's folks like they got regular jobs and they
going to practice after work. So he's like software engineers,
fucking bakers, baristas and shit playing playing full tackle
football. Hey, you got to start somewhere.
I went to the game last night, yeah, you do last night.
And it was, it was, it was actually way better than the
game I went to last week. Like last week they got blown
out. But this week it was, it was, it
was a whole different team. They was on the move, complete
passes and everything. I was like, OK.
Man, I I definitely have to watch.
I don't think we got anything out here in Baltimore like that,
but I would definitely check it out if given the opportunity.
Yeah, it's it's it's slow. I think the Golden State team is
the Golden State Storm. They play the Las Vegas Silver
Star Shooting Stars, something like that.
OK. So how are you enjoying
Baltimore? Because I know you just moved
there about two years ago or something.
More or less. So like, how are you enjoying it
up? There, I like it.
I will say that I'm more often, when I do get a chance to go
out, I'm more often in DC than I am in downtown Baltimore.
But I still enjoy the city of Baltimore and Baltimore itself
has been on the come up again, like they they've really been
cleaning up. I would say that Mayor Brandon
Scott has done a incredible job of trying to get Baltimore back
to a place of prominence. Now it's going to take a lot of
work because Baltimore, yes, we there's a, there was a 62%
reduction in crime, but it's still Baltimore at the end of
the day. So there are still some spots in
Baltimore. You got to be careful.
And there's still, you know, some things within the city that
need to be cleaned up. But progress takes time.
And I think that they are doing a good job of trying to
basically get the city back to where it was instead of, you
know, doing the things that harm black communities, such as,
like, stop and frisk or trying to, like, throw them into a
prison for an extended amount of time.
What Mayor Scott has done was Baltimore.
Stopped. In prison, it's not.
I'm just saying like, you know, in comparison to that, what
they've done is they've established like more after
school programs and opened up more of their rec centers.
So that way the youth can focus on being inside the rec center
or or focus on the after school programs instead of just being
out Willy nilly in the street late at night.
So it gives them activities to be pretty much to keep them from
being bored or doing something that they shouldn't be doing.
So. Yeah.
And there again, there's still some things that, you know,
Baltimore has, you know, to clean up.
Obviously when it comes to, I guess if you want to go the
crime route, there have been more like break insurance than
anything, just like in DC, like you got folk trying to break
into your car and whatnot than anything else.
But I mean, it's a, it's a large city with a larger population.
You, I expect things like that to happen.
But overall, I think the city of Baltimore is still great.
They actually just had a couple of festivals downtown, which I
missed because I was doing, I was recording a podcast, I was
doing a, a live watch of wrestling show.
I've been, I've literally have been buried in computer work
these past couple days. So I didn't get a chance to go
to that festival, but it is coming back.
Hopefully I will still be in the area to do so because we're the
situation that I'm in, because I'm leaving my job and because I
haven't found an additional job yet and because my lease is
ending, it's like, all right, I may have to go home to South
Carolina for a little bit. But the, the, the big thing is
that I enjoy being here, that I would want to come back if it
gets to that point. But I do like the activities
that they have. I do like the festivals that
they throw. I got a chance to go to the
National Aquarium for the first time at the beginning of March.
And it's crazy. I've been here almost two years
and I, and that was my first time going to that aquarium.
But one of my friends told me if I went before she came up to
visit, she would beat my ass. And I was like, Nah, I'm not,
I'm not about to sit here and not go to that aquarium without
you. So when she got up here, we went
to the aquarium and had a, and had a really, really great time.
I got a lot of footage and and learned a lot.
Now before I ask the next question because I got two more
DeMarcus, it don't matter what we did this week because I just
want to know all about KJ right now.
Is your food there yet? Actually, it's at my door.
Oh, go ahead and get it. Go ahead and get it.
OK, I shall return. All right, I just have to know.
Wait, what? You say I don't?
Say, did it ever stop recording? Why are we counting back in?
I thought we was just. Because when I edit it, I have
to cut out that party then, yeah.
That's fair. I may add the meat part at the
end so that people can get like a little.
So if you want to hear about the meat, then go to the end.
So KJI just have to know. Oh about Baltimore.
I would rather have break insurance in my city than
pedophiles in my city. That is fair.
Speaking of, are you still watching the WWE?
Yes, yes I am. I try to catch other forms of
wrestling when I can. AEW I've more so watched like
their pay per views because the weekly show can get kind of
redundant just like WWE show can get kind of redundant too and
the same for TNA or total non-stop action.
I try to watch their pay per views as well.
They just got ATV deal under AMC.
So I'm I don't know if AMC is under YouTube TV but if it is
then I should be able to watch it.
It just it has to fit with my schedule.
But I'm still very very much an avid wrestling head and I try to
keep up as much as possible with the other brands.
But I still do watch WWE. We just watched a WWE program
called NXT standard deliver last night and it was by far WW ES
best show all year. So that's saying something that
the quote UN quote. It used to be like the the
development development brand, but it's like the development
before the main roster brand because now they have evolved,
which is like the true development brand.
But NXT has been the best TV for WWE for quite some time, and
their standard deliver was excellent.
And with WWE getting ready to go in the WrestleMania season,
obviously I'm going to be paying a lot more attention to what
they got going on these next couple weeks as well.
Ma'am, I used to watch WWF Wingo Despots on it and it hasn't been
the same since. Well.
And you know, the crazy thing is a gold dust is still wrestling.
So yeah, Dustin. Dustin Rhodes AKA Dustin run.
Well, Dustin Ramos is real name, but Dustin Rhodes AKA Gold, does
he, he actually wrestles for AW. Now his, his brother Cody Rhodes
wrestles for WWE, which oddly enough, Cody Rhodes left WWE,
helped founded AEW and then went back to WWE.
And Cody Rhodes is actually now the undisputed WWE champion at
at the present time of this recording.
But yeah, yeah, the, the, the Rhodes brothers are still
wrestling, but, and Dustin is still wrestling even though he's
like pushing for 60. Yeah, well, if you had got it in
you, you always got it in you. And also would rather be in a
you're right. That's that's a good observation
to my case. I would also rather be in a city
that has break insurance than with Nazis.
Like in California, a Nazi just performed a concert, a black
Nazi, we just performed a concert in California and he had
a lot of people come out to his concert.
A lot of people that I am now side eyeing because they're
supposed to be my friends, IE Ashley who is from the dance
captain for Beyoncé for since Single Ladies.
So I just want to list some of the people who went to Kanye's
concert, was happy posting on socials and doing everything.
Dave Chappelle Erykah Badu, Rod Wave, Coy Larae, Diplo, Winnie
Harlow, Paul Pierce, Kevin Gates, Rich the kid, the game,
Jeremy Lorenzo, any of love ASAP Nast.
Was he in court anyway? Mitchell Lane Lammy Heather
Samuels, Heather Sandals DC to Don Travis Benet 2 Slimy Black
Boy Max Skywater, Niecy Nash, Jessica Betts, Dr. Cheyenne
Bryant and Moore. All this stuff is deeply
concerning. Niecy Nash, I didn't know you
were a supporter of somebody who said that black people weren't
slaves or slavery wasn't real, whatever he said all those years
ago and asked for. As for Chloe Bailey, the person
who put you on while you were singing on Instagram, while you
were singing listen on Instagram all those years ago and gave you
a record deal. That man whose concert that you
purchased and sat in that stadium for told everybody on
Twitter that her kids were the hard R word, 1-2 and three.
So that Lady who put you on, you just disrespected her and now I
can't ever like your music anymore.
So I'm very disappointed. KJ, when you saw because because
did you see this list? Did you?
I didn't see the list but I did know that Kanye had a concert
out in Lai. Still don't know how to feel
because for a long time I was a Kanye fan and then when he
started like crashing out and doing all of this crazy
bullshit, it just made me rethink how I view some of these
artists and view celebrities in general.
And I think that I don't know if Kanye really means what he says
or not because most of the shit that he does is just for
attention. That that being said, what he
said was still hurtful and still out of pocket.
And like I, I get that he has been in the music industry for
quite some time and people love his music and they will try to
separate the artist from the art.
But for me, it's just like at one point, at what point do your
principles kick in? And at one point do you say
like, hey, you know what? I can't rock with him unless he
comes out and like truly, truly apologize.
I think he did try to come out with an apology.
If I'm not mistaken. He.
Didn't apologize to the black community.
Did y'all hear the the Kanye's apology and what did you think?
Did you think? It was he didn't apologize to
the black community. He apologized to the Jewish
community. He didn't say black community.
I'm sorry, he had three paragraphs about how he hurt the
Jews. Yeah, I I saw that.
But as you, as Jared pointed out, he has yet to apologize for
the black community for the whole slavery was a choice thing
and Harriet Tubman did not free the slaves and other comments
that he has made about the the black culture and whatnot.
It, it just it it really for me again, I will, I well, if he can
come to his senses, then I think there is a path to forgiveness.
But just as of right now, it's just kind of like yay being yay.
I as big of a music game as I am, I still have yet to listen
to bully just because of the stuff that has come out of his
mouth. And this is like, bro, I get
that you're trying to seek attention, but you don't have to
seek attention in the ways that you did in the past before.
You don't have to do this outlandish shit just to get
attention. Like, for God's sakes, your name
is Kanye West, bro. All you got to do is drop music
and *** is going to flock to you regardless.
But so he has a new album. Yeah, it's, it's called Bully.
It's been in the work for a couple years.
There were some test tapes that have been out that he put out,
that he deleted, that he put out again and delete, and now
finally he actually released it. I don't know how good it is.
I have yet to listen to it. From what people told me, it's
like it's not as it's not bad, but it's not like the best work
that he's put out is. The Nazi song on there.
I have no idea. I don't think so.
I would hope not I'm. Not listening to it because
that's his demographic. Now, if you saw the videos that
were online, it was all white people were there.
No black people were down there. They were all white people in
like the mosh pit area doing mosh pit things to heartless,
heartless and saying that you heard, I don't know, white
people can't dance, but they were mosh pitty to heartless and
saying the N word. And I just got like you, bro.
Anyway, America is a capitalistic society and he has
to get his money, however he gets it.
So. But I would not be supporting.
And I am very ashamed that the people who are supporting, that
hurts my feelings a lot. Did you go to Marcus?
Because I know that you can separate the art from the
artist. Yeah.
Sometimes I did. I go to LA for a Kanye West
concert? Absolutely not.
Is that the question you're asking?
That is the question that I'm asking all.
Right, Do you have your answer? OK, DeMarcus, let's go ahead and
move on to the Put You on segment.
And this segment is sponsored by Movie Pass.
So what we're going to do is we're going to say one form of
media that we have really, really, really liked in recent
history, whether it's books, movies, TVA, song or even a
restaurant when you don't have anything.
And this segment is sponsored by MoviePass.
DeMarcus, can you please tell all of our listeners all about
MoviePass, please of. Course, MoviePass is a
subscription based service meant to make movie going more
affordable and more accessible. So the same way you would get
your movie account with AMC or Cinemark or Regal or anything
like that, you can get a movie, you can get a movie account with
MoviePass, download the app, go online however you want to sign
up for that, and then you can use your MoviePass account to go
see movies at any of the aforementioned theaters.
You're not stuck in one account with one theater.
And you might be asking why would I do that?
You know, what's the difference between buying a ticket through
movie pass and buying a ticket through any any other movie
theater? The the short of it is that it's
cheaper. That's the reason I do it.
That's the reason Jared do doesn't.
I don't know, but he's going to download it after this episode.
When you when you pay for your MoviePass account, you'll get a
number of points and you can use those points to see movies.
So you're paying one time a month to see at the very
minimum, 2 to 3 movies a month. So one of the best things I like
about movie prizes that you got to keep your points.
I mean your points where you pay at the movie theater.
So you want to get a free popcorn.
Another thing I like is that, and I'm going to start doing
this myself, is that I need to support a black movie like you,
me and Tuscany. I'm not going to see that movie
in theaters, but I can use my points to buy a ticket at Regal
with Movie Pass and say, oh, I'm supporting this black movie so
that more black movies can be made.
So I am going to do that. So Movie Pass is such a great
program and it is a amazing, amazing deal.
So I'm going to put you guys on 1st.
I have been listening to another lit RPG.
You remember that Doctor Caller Carl was one that I listened to
a while ago. It was a great book.
I listened to books one through 7 in about two weeks.
I am waiting for May to listen to book 8 and.
I have tried to pick up another one it wasn't that good but I
was on sick time. They said OK try these other
ones. I booked my thing and I have
downloaded this other one called Chrysalis.
What chrysalis about is this guy who is Isakai after he dies into
the body of an Ant. They say it is like a huge Ant
is a monster and as he eats things, he levels up, he gaze
new body parts or organs he could and and now in the book
I'm on a second on I'm on 1/3 book.
He is casting magic spells. He is leading this, he has a
couple of pets and he is transforming his queen into
something completely different. Now, in this book, the thing
that I thought was most interesting was the voice
acting, because this voice actor is the same one who does the
unicaller Carl. It's the same guy.
And I doubt it was extremely interesting that this guy, the
entire book up to chapter 73 in the first book was just him and
his thoughts. There's no dialogue at all.
He doesn't have a map. Well, he doesn't have thoughts.
He can't talk to nobody, so he is just talking to himself.
And there are some asides where you get, you know, some like
what's happening in the world. But he's not talking to nobody.
He is talking to nobody. This sounds like reborn as a
slime. It reminded, Yeah, yeah, It
reminded me of reborn as a slime, reborn as a spider.
Now I'm in the dungeon and I don't remember the what is the
name of that chrysalis? It is CHRYSALIS.
And this is just another Jeff Hayes as a voice actor is
amazing because I was so into this book because, you know, I
did try another book called He Who Fights Monsters.
It just wasn't as good. But then I'm like, am I
listening to this for the story? I don't listen to this for the
voice acting. It's probably the voice acting
because the voice acting, he didn't have any conversations
with chapter 72 or 73. So I'm like.
How long is the book? How many?
It was the first book was about 103 chapters.
So he's at the fourth quarter. For this book, he wasn't
talking. He it was.
Internal dialogue. He was talking to nobody.
OK, understood. Yeah, it was just our internal
dialogue, but you're so intriguing that you just want to
see what he's going to say next. You just want to see how the
story goes. So yeah, if you have any time on
your hands, go ahead and listen to Chrysalis.
It's really, really good. Sounds interesting.
Nice all. Right.
Yeah. DeMarcus, what about you?
Yeah, I can go next. This is not my put you on, but I
want to I want to talk. I want to bring it up.
I'm finished. House of Asher, that was.
Quick. So fucking good, Jared, you
were, you were fucking money. So fucking good.
Like I. It made me hate Asher all over
again. For different reasons and the
same reasons, but what I'm going to put folks on to this week is
season 2 of Invincible. If you haven't started watching
it yet, start watching that motherfucking show because this
show is amazing. And what I love about Invincible
is that it's not all superheroes and, you know, punching aliens
and flying around. It is those things, but it's
also like a very human show. It is what happens when you
know, your dad's a you know, you're a superhero.
You disappear for years and then you come back, you know, like
how it ain't just like you fall back into your life.
It's like, no, your wife is like, what the fuck you been,
you know? Well, you know, and you got a
kid. Like who the fuck is this kid?
Like we still married. I agree.
I buried you, Sir, And so it it it brings like a realness to the
to the superhero universe that I feel like it's not it's not done
or is not done as thoroughly in other places.
I think very Allah the boys to where it it makes it makes being
a superhero much more real. Yeah, you know, I no you go
ahead. I just watched this past episode
I think might have been episode like 4 or something.
It makes me want to read the comics again, it's that good,
and I don't. Want to?
OK. So, well, I'm, I'm sorry, I'm
sorry. So you say Season 2, you're
putting them on too? Is it season 3 SL right now or
season 4 to set up season 4? My bad Season 4 episode I
watched episode 4. Season 4, Episode 4.
OK, OK, OK. Yeah.
What were you saying before I cut you off?
Man, I, I mean, I, I want to talk about it, but I then I'll
be spoiling this. So I'm not I'm not OK.
These are the in now in season 4 in invincible.
These are the fights we have been waiting to see the entire
show. Yeah, it is really good.
And I, I just remember the time when comics, when Invisible, I
was reading The Boys, I was reading Irredeemable, I was
reading Irreplaceable. And all of those are stories
where they kill people. They they kill people.
And you see the the the Braves go across the screen.
They they killing people, they killing people hard.
And that was a great topic commerce that needs to come all
the way back. So yeah, that's a great one.
KJ, what about you? What do you have the priority
this week? So since DeMarcus went ahead and
talked about Invincible, I'm going to keep it within the
superhero realm and say that if you have not tuned in to season
2 of Daredevil Born Again, I highly recommend that you do so.
It is a show that is again, grounded in our reality.
I know that the Marvel Universe can be out of, you know, it.
There are some elements of fiction that are, you know, not
based in reality. But when you watch Daredevil
Born Again, a lot of it is definitely based in reality,
especially with, not to spoil it, but the connection between
Wilson Fisk, I get a Kingpin and what he has been doing within,
you know, leading the city of New York and how he has just
been. But pretty much it, it relates
to a lot of what we're dealing with in the real world right
now. So I'll just keep it like that.
Yeah, this, this has been a great show so far.
I admittedly, for whatever reason I was before the season 2
came out, I realized that I had not finished the episode 8 on
episode 9. So I went back.
We watched both those episodes and now I'm not fully caught up
because they Daredevil had released 2 episodes this past
week. So I am in the middle of episode
2 of season 2 and once I get finished with that, of course
I'll go into episode 3. But yeah, definitely, definitely
Daredevil Born Again. Please be sure that you watched
it if you haven't watched it already.
It is really good. Nice.
Yeah, did did the is the punisher isn't season 2 more?
Because I feel like toward the end of season 1 I remember
seeing the Punisher show up a lot and I could never tell.
Like is he hallucinating the Punisher or is he actually
there? No, Punisher is there, but I
haven't. He hasn't showed up in season 2
yet. OK, yeah, there's still time for
him to show back up. But yeah, he was at the end of
season 1, so there is opportunity for him to show up
again. It just depends on how they want
to play the story. Yeah, it's the Punisher's year.
The Punisher is going to be in this season of Daredevil, so
it's Jessica Jones. And then the Punisher is getting
his own show as like an epilogue to Daredevil.
It's like a Marvel Presents one off little thing that they did
with it's no, no, it's just like a one off.
I did like werewolf by night. You know how they just did like
1 episode? So it's going to be that after
Daredevil's done as a coda to Daredevil and the Punisher is
going to be in Spider Man a brand new day.
But this season, Daredevil, I think it's a slow season because
last seasons are so great with with the guy dying and this
season just it's slow. It's slow.
They start off slow because they they dare.
They were born again came just threw the hinges off on the
first episode. They were like, yeah, you know,
Foggy, Yeah, he's gone. And it's just like, dog, really,
bro? What?
Yeah, come on, Disney has something to prove, Disney said.
Oh, like I was. Like why did Foggy have to die?
Like what? Yeah that that blew my mind.
I'm like damn y'all. Y'all just go kill off Foggy
like that bro really? He was just getting his life
together right. Yeah, yeah.
I think Disney has something to prove when they got the show
from Netflix. But the first things was good.
Disney's is kind of kind of slow last.
Started off slower than than last yes, but it's still really
good from what I've seen so far. Yeah, the last episode, the very
last episode, episode 3, had a good fight sequence.
I'm waiting on some most superheroes to show up, because
maybe when some most superheroes show up, it'll get better.
But. Is it slow like and or was slow?
Oh no, not to slow like Andor. I was like Andor was a.
Slow burn. It was a good slow burn, but it
was good. Burn.
Not to slow like Andor. I was like, Oh my God.
Hey, did you ever finish? It I, I I finish it.
I I did not like I was, I was like everybody likes his show.
Why are y'all liking this show I don't like?
A slow burn, man, Slow. And.
Slow. That's how you make it BBQ.
We're back on the meat. OK, I see.
OK. Do we have an activity for this
week? I do have an activity,
absolutely, as I always have an activity for us.
All right, So if this is your first time joining us and it
should not be, you should have been a fan four years ago and
you should be a super fan by now.
We're starting to give out some some prizes the way.
Allegedly. The way the way games and
activities on Black Energy work is, DeMarcus is the master of
games here. He comes up with the games, he
comes up with the questions. He is the judge, jury and
executioner of all things games and activities on Black Geek
Energy. He decides who's right, who's

lyrics. 2 lines. You get 2 lines from this song
and and if you can tell me who the song is by, you will get a
point. If you can tell if you tell me
the song, you can get a point. If you can tell me if you can

news tea pies it was that was chili.
Chili a secretly MAGA. Yeah, she's secretly mad her

half points if I sing it well. That's that seems like the most
I could get so I do request that the game.
Master. Sing this song.
That's that. That's the rules of the game.
So I'm I'm invoking the the the song.
All right. Boy, you should know that.

That's a hint 'cause you're eliminating, you're eliminating
the process of elimination. All right.
Oh my God. OK, I'm not sure.
Yeah, I'm really not sure. Do you know the name of the
song? Can I steal?
You can steal. Yeah, he didn't.
I was saying the whole thing, so I couldn't.
I couldn't get. The name of the song is My Boo
by Ghost Town DJs that is. Correct any name.
I sung the song so you wouldn't have the point.
You did not sing the song. You sung 8-2 words.
I. Song 2 lines of the song.
Now you sung 2 words of the song.
Anyway, the next one is for you KJ.
OK. You lied to me.
All those times I said that I loved you, you lied to me.
Yes, I tried. Yes, I tried.
Return of the Mac by Mark Morrison.
That is correct KJ. Yeah, that one I knew off the
top of my head. I was like, Yep, I know where
this is going. Yeah.
All right, Jerry, this one should be easy for you.
Yes. You acting kind of shady.
Yes, ain't. Calling me baby.
Why do something? I've actually, I've never heard
this song in my life. So can you sing this a little
bit of this? Well, can you say what you just

throw the game on purpose. The rules like I mean, can we?
I'm singing a song man Shut up. You can hear it.
A long ass game. You acting kind of shady and
calling me baby. Why the sudden change?
Say my name. Say my name.
OK, so the. Artist.
I'm going to say say my name by Beyoncé and Destin Shard.
I will accept it because it's by Destiny's Child, not Beyoncé and
Destiny's Child. It was the Oscar.
A part of the group. It was the IT won a Soul Train
Award and a Grammy I think that year and an MTV Music Video
Award that year. Nice, at least I know that.
Now you do all. Right, KJ for you.
So all right, chemistry was crazy from the get go.
Neither one of us knew why. You can't make him sing it.
I'm not going to do that. Why?
Why the list? No, because.
Because he wants the. Points.
Is that what they're saying in the chat?
They're saying make him sing every song.
OK, hold on, hold on now. Now I think I got it.
I think I got it. Industry was crazy from the get
go. What's that last one?
Neither one of us knew why. Be without You, Mary J Blige.
That is correct. Yep.
This man is crushing. Had to had to lock in for that
one because I was like wait a minute.
All right, Jerry, the next one is for you.
OK, I'm a get it. No matter what I do, all I think
about is you. Can you sing this please?
You know, I get half points or I get no points.
No matter what I do, what you think about is you.
I've never heard this song in my life.
I I do hear this song in my head.
I don't. It has a It has a strange name
like the name of this song. I always whenever I see the name
of this song, I forget the song. Is this Kelly?
Rowland, I hear the song, I forget the name.
Well, that's that's half right. KJ is Kelly Rowley and who's?
The master of games here. You, you are my bad.
My bad, it's Kelly Rowley and is it called my Boo or something
like that? It could be, I don't know.
OK, well, you. Should say that.
Is that your final answer? I must say you're singing What's
up Cards. So Kelly Rowley and Nelly and
the song is I don't know, my Boo.
I'm just, I'm just going to say my Boo.
You got it half right. It is called dilemma.
Dilemma. Yeah.
Yeah, after you got all the pieces, you're like, oh, right,
this that is what it's called. But when I see dilemma by Nelly
and color rolling I'm like what is that?
Do they say dilemma at all in the song?
No, I hate songs that don't say the name in the song.
How am I supposed to remember? All right, you got half points
for that one, Jared. You can be beating yourself, KJ.
The next one is for you. When you feel it in your body,
you found somebody who makes you change your ways, like hanging
with. Your crew oh, you got it bad by
Usher. That is correct that that that
last one just gave it dead away. I was like, oh the.
Last part, I gave it away. Yeah.
All right, Jared. Yes.
A tornado flew around my room before you came.
Excuse the mess it made. It usually doesn't rain.
I've never heard this song one day in my life, so can you
please sing? I don't.
I'm not. Going to force.
You to sing the song. Just tell me to sing the song.
You ain't got to lie to me. I am giving commentary for our
listeners, so can you please sing a little?
Bit of this song. A tornado flew around my room
before you came. Excuse the messy made.
It usually doesn't rain. So I I don't know what this song
is called. I know it's my Frank Ocean.
Yeah. Yeah, I I just always call it
the potato song. Why is it the?
Potato Song. Because a potato flew around my
room. Tornado.
I know what. He said OK, all right.
All right. What is that song called?
Thinking about you. Thinking about you.

About you. Oh, OK, that makes sense.
He says the name of the song in the in the in the.
Song Yes. All right, KJ, you got the next
one. You're way ahead.
I don't think there's any way Jason would bring this back.
It's all about the fill in the game.
Here's your Here's your lyrics. Blooms.
Blooms are deflated. Guess they look lifeless like
you. Oh, that's harsh.
I may have to ask you to sing that one, yeah.
Sing the song. Sing the song you say you want.

Right, balloons are deflated. Guess they look lifeless like
me. Oh, oh shit.
OK, that's some that's givion. That is givion what's the?
Name of the song is it? Is it heartbreak anniversary?
That is correct. It's Heartbreak Anniversary.
You only get one point on that one because I had to sing it.
But hey, you still, you're still doing great.
Now we end of 2010 and I'm really not going to know these
songs this. Is the last one, Jerry?
It is. You can make up a lot of ground.
If I don't sing this song, you just answer it.
But OK, here we go. When you leave, I'm begging you
not to go call your name 2-3 times in a row.
I've actually never heard this song one day of my.
Life so you don't have to lie to me.
So can you please sing a little bit of the the part that you
just said? You know, I'm actually not sure
if I know how this song goes without hearing it.
I'll I'll do my best though. It spells, well, spells, right?
You can sing Dell spells. Oh, hold on.
I got it. I got it.
Hold on.
Give me a second. I got to get the time.
I got to get the time done. When you leave, I'm begging you
not to go call your name 2-3 times in a row.
Oh, it's not Dell spell spells. Such a funny day for me to try
to explain. I thought you've never heard the
song. Going to look it so crazy right
now. You lost, so it's crazy.
I was confused for a second until that, that last one, I was
like, wait, call you 2 three times in a row.
I think I, I think I heard it, but then Jared just saying it.
So now I know I'm like, all right.
OK, Jared, All right. Well, the, the, the, the, the
final score. KJ, you've got 10 points, Jared,
you got three. You, you, you know the songs,
man. Even when they're not sung to
you. Even songs, rhythm songs beat,
delivered in a subpar fashion by DeMarcus.
You still know. You know your 90s, R&B Nineties
2000. You don't know how crazy your
love goes just off off the top of your head.
It's not constantly playing on a loop back there.
Wow that's that must be a sad experience.
So how do you walk to anywhere? I walk, I walk to other other
songs. Oh, that must be a sad
existence. Very sad existence.
Yeah. So today on this episode, I just
thought it'll be fun. I have the master of music.
He knows everything about music. He constantly does the top 25
rap albums. I didn't know there was top 25
rap albums last year. He he found them and he did them
on his podcast. So if anybody knows music, it's
going to be KJ. So KJI, really, we thought it
would be great for us to come on here and pick the top five R&B
songs of all types. Now we only got to pick 5 as
one. We all have to agree what these
are going to be. So I.
Thought we got to pick together. Yeah, I thought what we could
do. No, no, that's going to be the
hard part. I know.
What we could do is we could list what our personal five were
and then so we can know what everybody's thinking about.
And then we can come together and be like, OK, we could choose
this from your list, this from your list.
So. So, yeah.
OK, I'll start and I'll start with my personal top five, and
these are in no particular order.
No particular order personal top five best R&B songs of all time
#1 Poison Poison. When you have a chorus that
talks about big butts and a smile, you got to be and plus
Poison at at Hampton University we were always doing a little
bit of poison, so got to be poison.
Second, a song I would love to hear DeMarcus sing My All by
Mariah Carey. Who?
My all. My all.
Yes, by Mariah Carey. Is that that now I got to find
my all No. I gave my all to have just one
more night with you. I risk.
Mine that is a beautiful song by.
Mariah Carey It is a Marcus, do you not know this song?
How do you sleep that night when you're depressed?
Who do you play? I just.
Go to sleep. It's easiest to go to sleep when
you're deployed. Do you do you like?
Music I love you've. Never heard this song.
He has, he just has to hear it. That's crazy.
This song has gotten me out. I played this song going peak
from going to my house in Newport News, the Hampton, every
morning for about a month. Perfect songs for me #3 Ain't no
Way by Aretha Franklin. When that Lady comes in in the
background and she just hold that one note and nobody else
can sing it like her. You know she's done this on the
music video for this is in black and white on YouTube.
So you know there's been a lot of people to come behind her and
try to sing it. And plus she had her VH1 Divas
thing where they try to do it. Y'all probably don't know VH1
Divas but she did her VH1 Divas and nobody could sing it right?
Ain't no way by Aretha Franklin #4 it got to be Single Ladies.
It has to be Single Ladies. This song, it gets you up, it
gets you going, it gets you moving, and it's a close.
Part R&B though. I was thinking about that.
It's an R&B or pop. Yeah, I was thinking about that.
But then it's crazy and love R&B or pop.
So crazy love can be R&B on your thing, single as can be R&B on
my thing. But is it R&B to?
The side we'll leave. It OK, OK, no, nothing, nothing.
I'm not doing single as because y'all going to act crazy when it
comes down to the final list, I'm going to submit for y'all
approval. The markets don't know these
songs. I'm going to submit for y'all.
What is it? I know that that I care by
Beyoncé, that is R&B song. I care and.
When it goes, I care for you. That's a Leo, no?
OK, cool. So yeah, DeMarcus doesn't know
these songs, but I can. I know you don't care too much,
but I still care. You need to watch Coachella is.
That Beyoncé you could. Yeah, by Beyoncé and my 5th and
final song. Oh.
Oh, you said that one was for single in place of Single
Ladies. OK.
Now, yeah, I'm play Single Ladies because Single Ladies, I
think it's pop, and I've been thinking about that.
It's probably pop Single Ladies 5th and final song.
It has to be the thong song by Cisco.
It's got It's got to be the thong song, not Cisco.
I'm not. I don't know.
You're not mad at none of my choices.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm not mad at that. One.
That one is great, but the words, it's repetitive.
But what he does on that side, it has not been.
No R&B singers today will get on the track and just go crazy as
he did. He was saying the thong song
like it was Easter Sunday in church, like the Lord was about
to sanctify him and this song was his ticket to heaven.
And Rick was due. The electricity bill was due and
his car dog was due and he he had to eat that night.
The dog, my song was his meal ticket home.
And he had to he he, he had to go there.
Like the way he sung this song. And then you got the strings in
the background. You know, I love strings.
So yeah, Poison my art ain't no way I care.
And the Dong song on my top five.
KJ, I'm going to throw it to you.
What is your top? Yeah, this is going to be kind
of hard for me because like, if we're speaking within like the
90s and 2000s is easy. But if we're going across
decades, who, boy, that's a that's a lot to choose from.
But I can tell you off the top, if I had to pick my top five,
I'm going to say #1 I must say Usher Confessions Part 2, that
that is probably my number one Usher song behind, well, right
in front of you got it bad. That's my, that's my second
favorite. I, I had to, I think pick that
one just because of not only do I like like Usher singing in
that video, although it's really about JD and his infidelity.
The, the singing, the music video behind it, the how Big
Confessions just was as an album.
I, I think that's really what played a role in, in me choosing
that song #2 I'm a stick to 2000s.
I'm going to pick a Mariah Carey song.
I'm I am going to pick We Belong together just because I find
myself singing that more than I should.
It's, it's, it's, it's a really, really, really powerful song.
And I honestly, that is it. It's probably my favorite Mariah
Carey song. But then if we go to like my
second favorite, it's really weird because my second favorite
Mariah Carey song is Can't Let Go, which was off her first
album in like 1990. So, and it's such a dynamic
shift between 2003, 2004 all the way back to 1990.
But that's just me personally. I just can't let go go because
I'm thinking about the song on the way to Excel soundtrack
which I don't know why I didn't think a way to excel on this.
Hold on. I I can't.
Let's see, it's. Oh, I thought you were.
Going no, it's it goes like no, no, no, no, no.
I can't let go. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like when I say her first album,
I mean her first album. I'm not the.
Emotions was on that album, which is another great song.
My album was was, It was my all on that album.
I think my all was on a different album.
The second it was one or two. But yeah, there's that.
If damn #3I I'm I know I'm end up picking like a lot of 90s.
And that's OK, because what songs like these R&B singers are
doing it nowadays? So you right, but it's I'm and
I'm not talking about like current songs.
I'm just mean like if because I have to go into the past too.
And I will say that I'm I'm a pick one or older school because
I mean, I guess 90s and 2000s is technically old school now, but
one older school song from I'm a pick, Stevie Wonder's Ribbon in
the sky just because that is one of my favorite Stevie Wonder
songs of all time. And I have you said what?
Oh, say one more time. With them and Blues, OK.
All right, all right. Now he was asking it is that
song R&D? Oh yeah, like it's, it's a
ballad, bro. Yeah, OK, all.
Right. Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
I was just. Saying could it be so if I feel
like Stevie Wonder falls heavily into that soul category
sometimes? Just asking.
You right, You right #4 I'm going to say Where I Want to Be
by Donnell Jones and that it, if I can tell you, that's probably
the first R&B song I ever learned by heart.
I was seven years old when that song came out.
So that is that's, that's one that I, I had no business
singing because I mean, I'm a 7 year old, what do I know about
cheating on a girl? But still, that is, that is one
song that how does. That song.
Go say when you love someone you.
Just OK. Yeah, yeah.
So my final, my, my, my, the final one on my list.
Oh, that was only three. No, he has confessions Part 2.
We belong together. Ribbon in the sky where we're in
the. Sky OK, that's when I missed my.
Bad. Yeah, yeah.
Where do I want to go? Where do I want to go as far as
like my top five? What song?
Do I want? There's so, so much.
Music. There's so many, there's.
Just so much music that I'm like entrenched in.
I'm I'm going to see if I can, there's got to be something that
I can like just pick just because I know that I'm probably
going to singing often. Oh, you know what?
I got it. One in a million by Aaliyah.
There we go. It took me a minute to like lock
in on one, but I had to I had to think about like all the
different artists and I'm like, I hadn't said Aaliyah yet.
I'm like, you know what? One in a million.
Yeah, I thought about some Aaliyah's songs, but Aaliyah
just sang three dots in her song, so I couldn't really.
I mean she had more range but. She had more range, but in those
songs she only sang 3 notes. All right, lovely and down.
Lovely and down. All right, DeMarcus, what about
you? What are your top five favorite
R&B songs? All right, I I've been working
on my list the entire time we've been doing this.
I know you haven't been listening.
I have all right, but here here's what I'm a I'm a get
y'all ease buy you a drink T pain.
No, these are in no particular order Buy you a drink.
I fuck with it. That's that song slaps around
the world wherever you play it. Yeah.
Are you that somebody, Aaliyah? OK.
My Boo, Usher, I'm gonna go ahead and put that one on there
because I like him more than the confessions.
I was, I was conflicted between my Boo and Burn.
OK with you, Chris Brown. Oh, OK, so Breezy got on the
list. And then irreplaceable beyond.
I say like I wanted to get more old school people, but like, I
don't know, I just they, they are iconic and I feel like
they're very, I feel like old school R&B is very, it's very,
very black centered. As in like once you start to get
outside of the black community, you get less fans.
I I get where you're coming from.
This is called Black Geek Energy.
We don't care about anybody that's not black.
Of. All.
Time top, top, top of all time. So we're including all people
to. You know what I'm saying?
No. No.
No, our top five of all time. Yes.
OK, got you.
Got you, got you. All right, well, let me replace
this Beyoncé song then. OK.
I just want to talk about some of the people that we did not
put on the list. We did not put any of somebody
who I don't really have too much affection for.
We didn't have, we don't have any Luther Vandross on this
list. No, heart is not a home.
Well, that's a cover for Christmas.
Well. That's that's why I didn't pick
a lot of Luther songs because I was like, damn, like Luther was
the king of covers and he sang covers better than some of these
original songs, but they're still covers.
And I didn't want to put like, that's why I didn't pick Whitney
Houston's I Will Always Love You because this is like, it's a
cover. It's a great song.
She killed it. We know it more than we do.
Dolly Parton, Parton's version, but it's still a cover.
But so I was trying to pick original songs.
But then I Want to Dance with Somebody is up there too now.
That that is fair. It's not in my list.
It's it's in somebody else's list.
They love I Want to Dance with Somebody and that it's not my
favorite Whitney Houston song. Wow.
We also didn't put anybody by who I would say is the king of
R&B, Mr. Babyface. We did not add any of his
award-winning songs like Let me pull them up right quick.
Like make it last forever and. Make it last forever the way the
XL soundtrack. Yeah, Keith Sweat got some got
some hits and he he does have some great R&B songs.
But just like you said with with Aaliyah only singing 3 notes,
Keith Sweat is when in his songs anyway his range is is very
limited so. Yeah, let's see, what did she
ate all night long? All the things I should have
known. Babyface one for Lil Richie and
Lionel Richie. You that all night long?
Now I'm doing some babyface songs.
You know, he wrote that song. He wrote the Toni Braxton, all
the Toni Braxton songs. He did Tevin Campbell's songs.
Yeah, I'm like Babyface's pen is incredible.
If we talking like all the songs that he wrote and performed like
that, that dude is still writing songs.
Yeah, we also added Aaliyah. Now how'd she get on this list
y'all? What you mean how over?
Whitney over SWB week. Hey, listen, that's, that's it's
like I said, it's hard, man, because there's so much R&B out
there. And and as you say, weak is weak
is one of the ones for SWV even though my favorite is rain.
Yeah. Over rain, yeah.
Yeah, rain is like that. The harmonies and rain are so,
so intricate. And I'm just like, how do they
do that? Like I I can never get them
exactly right if I try to sing them so.
Yeah, all right, democracy, we have your replacement for
irreplaceable. Yes, Pony.
Tony. Tony, Tony, Tony.
OK all. Right, I know how it goes.
Funny how you can sing that song all the way, but you cannot sing
the songs on your list. All right, so we have these
songs that we got to whittle down to 5 Poison My Art Ain't No
Way Doll song I Care Confessions Part 2 We Belong together.
River in the Sky where I want to be one in a million.
Buy you a Drake. Are you that somebody?
My Boo with you and Pony, which was automatically half the guy.
Well, I say, let's suppose you like this.
If there are, if we have songs by multiple artists, let's just
choose the Best Song for that one artist to make it.
OK. So we have one in a million and
we have are you that somebody? I think are you that somebody
over one in a million? Let me, let me, let me go.
Listen to 1,000,000 real quick. I like the rap part in in Are
You That somebody, baby girl man, friend of Big V?
Hey, what do you come play round my way?
For me, are you that somebody was it was great because I mean,
that's from the Doctor Dolittle soundtrack and that that
soundtrack was was was incredible.
But the main reason why I chose one in a million is just because
that is we, we knew Aaliyah's name before that song, but that
song is the one that like literally pushed her to the sky.
And, and I will always love the intricate beat that Timberland
chose for her for one in a million, like, you know, just
the way that he was able to craft.
And not to say that he didn't craft that the same way for are
you that somebody? But for this one, nobody ain't
never heard nothing like that before.
And one in a million, I think is the I think it's a staple for
any like Aaliyah, if you got an Aaliyah playlist and whatnot.
If you don't got 1,000,000 on there, bro, what are we doing?
I can agree. I went back and listened to One
in a Million and I would say it is and I will concede to One in
a Million because it is more of an R&B song than are You that
somebody. You even know the disc where you
listen to the Lea soundtrack as you are young when you are young
child. No, we haven't.
Oh God. But yeah, I love Are you that
somebody? I will play Are you that
somebody? But I will concede that One in a
million is the better song. So we got to keep one in a
million. We also have My Boo and
Confessions Part 2. Now.
Damn, no. I'm not a Usher fan at all.
I haven't liked Usher since he did all that, really.
So yeah, since USHER when? Where the actual Usher
introduced him. I will never get that episode.
I have not liked him since then. I respect him.
Excellent music, great voice. Climax should have been on this
list but but yeah, I'm not. I'm not a Usher fan.
You know what? And, and thinking about it, I, I
just realized that I said Confessions was my number one
Usher song. I honestly, it's #2 because then
I'd thought about Superstar, but that's off the same album.
Superstar is probably my favorite, but if I had to put
Confessions in my boot together that's that's.
Well, we can ask Superstar. You want to change confessions
to superstar? If I do that, then I'm picking
Superstar over my boob. But even though my boob was the
radio hit, Superstar was that that that was that hidden hit,
that was that B sidetrack that got a lot of play.
But if we're if we're talking like a numbers game, then I
would concede to my Boo if that's the case, yeah, I mean.
It's. I mean this is a.
Billboard people people fuck with it on the low.
My Boo play anywhere in the world.
This isn't Billboard. This is not that.
This is the Best Song. You're right, So.
Superstar we can put down. Superstar, we can take off
confessions and my Boo. I think it's my Buddha and see.
That that would leave you to be the highbreaker Jardo.
So you, yeah, I would probably tell you go listen to both of
them right quick and and you make a.
Decision. Everybody go listen to both
songs, right? Now how my Boo goes.
Listen. To 10 seconds to both songs.
And I know how superstar goes. OK, I'm gonna have to go
superstar. I don't really.
It's so because I don't like Usher and my Buddha sounds so my
Boo, my, my, Oh my, Oh, I don't like all that.
So I'm gonna have to go. If it's my choice, I'm gonna go
superstar. OK.
Sorry, so I I. Did not hit that note because I
was getting ready to do that. You can't.
Feel it, You, you open your mouth.
He's like, no, it's not there. Let me go in here.
Port, Michigan. All right, we also have We
Belong together and My All by Mariah Carey.
It might be up to you, DeMarcus, because I I tell you like we
belong together that. We Belong Together is a great
song and it's a great story along with it.
I like the story more how Clyde Barker was calling her and and
she had to listen to the song. So she just held that no doubt
for forever. And then she said pack it up.
Let's take it to Clive Barker tonight.
And because he was calling for it.
But my all my awe is like you're on.
You're in a lighthouse by the RIP, by the sea, and you are in
this long white gown, walking on the sand, crying all night long.
My awe gives you that emotion like it it takes you somewhere
where you where you haven't been before and like that's why I
like my awe because it's more than just fine and we belong
together and excellent vocals. My awe takes you someplace that
you haven't been before us and that's why I got to go my awe.
That's fair. I'm going to choose.
We belong together. My my perspective on R&B is that
it is these are love and love adjacent songs.
So if you're if not to say that heartbreak doesn't solidly fall
in this category. But I think for me, when you
when you start making songs about heartbreak and breaking up
and like this other stuff in the R&B genre, you start to take
steps away from what R&B is meant to be.
Personally, that's my. Person.
Is it about love and heartbreak? No, no, look, I, I I separate
the 2. OK.
R&B for me, the the epitome of R&B is about love, being
together, finding a person, that kind of thing.
When you start making songs about heartbreak and losing
people and all this other stuff, you start to wake, walk away
from the center to what I think the epitome of R&B is, or what
it should be. I don't think R&B is about heart
heartbreak. I think it's about longing for
someone like like her. Like I always saw it like Herman
is like a sailor because I had this whole day Herman's outside
and he's coming back, but she is so horny that she wants him now.
So I don't think it's. I think it's a longing.
Yeah. So you said we belong together
and not mine Belong together. Yes.
That's horrible. That is the one all right.
Is that all the duplicates? Yes so DeMarcus, you have lost
two of your songs. You're down to buy you a drink
with you and pony KJ this white hat you on the thing.
You have lost no songs yet and I've just lost my all.
So let's let's let's I don't even know how to do this now.
Is there any song that stands out for you on this list that
has to go? I'm going to say it again.
Poison a no way thong song. We belong together.
Ribbon in the sky where I want to be.
What in a billion buy you a drink with you, pony and
superstar. Is there any song that has to
be? For this next round, how about
we do it this way? Or we how about we do this for
we each choose somebody's list and we pick one song that makes
it, that makes it to the next round.
Like this song? Like an automatic, you go to the
next round. Like an automatic, you're in the
next round. For us to from somebody else's
list from. Somebody else's list and we'll
do. And we'll just rotate, right?
So KJ, KJ on from my list, me from Jared's list, Jared from
KJ's list. No, you can do any list that you
want to do. But then, you know, how do we
make sure one song from each list gets on there?
Because I don't like nobody. None of your songs on your list?
But you're wow, you're choosing KJ's list so fine.
OK, I don't really like that way because like because you can't
like this must be a discussion for everybody.
So everybody's supposed to be in on discussion.
So OK, I. Was trying to put we'll we'll
the list down quickly, but all right.
So is there any song that we feel like has to go?
Let's see a song that has to go. I will start buy you a drink,
DeMarcus, come on. Man, you come on now, buy you a
drink T painted over the world with that song.
It's a great song. It's it's an amazing song, but
this is not Billboard. We're not doing chart topping
hits. This is the Best Song, the best
R&B songs. And when you look at this list,
you have stuff that's better than buy you a drink on.
Here, I think I think Buy you a drink is a reflection of like
modern R&B at its peak, like like the modern the artist.
Song was over 20 years ago. Modern at that time.
Come on, fuck it, come on, Jerry, stay with me now.
But it's a reflection of the modern R&B at its peak at the
time, I think, because I think what we had become used to are
like the ballads and like the like the miles and the the my
booze and stuff. And my Boo takes us in that
direction. But buy you a drink was like,
when is that? It's like that term where we saw
like, oh, like these, you know, rappers are starting to make
like, R&B music. So it's it's the song that blurs
the line between hip hop and R&B, one of the first.
Few to do that. Is it one of those first songs
that makes that starts to make that transformation?
Yeah. And I'm not contesting that,
but. And I think that's why it
deserves, that's why it deserves to to stay on.
I'm not contesting that it is one of those songs.
And maybe this was a top 20. It could be on the list.
The top five? No, absolutely not.
Absolutely not. What's this being?
KJ. Because one person is a hater, 2
people is feedback. Yeah, I'm not being.
I love this song. He rhymes, are he?
He has a silly rhyme and I can't remember what he is, but what?
What? What do you think, KJ?
Admittedly, I would say, yeah, Bayou Drink is one of those
pivotal songs, but I don't know if I will put it in like top
five R&B only for the sake of if we're keeping it like based on
rhythm and Blues. This is more of a a party song
than anything. And that's not to say that it's
not a generational hit, because it is.
And T Pain at the time was a very generational artist that
really did not get his due and his credit because of what
rappers are doing now. But in terms of I think when I
think of R&B, like I really think about, you know, as we
y'all have this conversation literally a couple minutes ago
about the the line between heartbreak and finding love and
whatnot. And I think that's what I
associate more with R&B about going into your feelings and
trying to find out if this, if you know, love is for you, when,
what the next steps are. And then if you've you've got
your heart broken or things of that nature, what you know, what
you're dealing with. So I think that for me, I would
probably have to concede to to Jardo's point all.
Right, all right. Yeah, there's no Blues in this
song. He's not sad at nothing.
He he is happy that he. Got to be sad.
It's rhythm and Blues. He's not blue, Yeah.
He he, he's not, he's not sad. And R&B does not have to be sad.
It's just it's but it is a party track.
That's that's all I needed to hear.
So it might. So what I'm hearing is that this
song might, might start to go into the pop area area, and
that's not what we want. More or less.
OK, that's fair. That's fair, that's fair, all.
Right. KJ, is there any song that you
are seeing on this list that may have to go all?
Right, so we we just said buy you a drink.
What was what was on your list again, Giardo?
Poison ain't no way Thong song and I care.
I would say thong song for a lot of the same reasons y'all cited
for Buy you a drink. Yeah, I was going to say now
about I wasn't going to hit Thong Song just yet, but I I'd I
would can also concede to DeMarcus point on that because
Doll Song does fall more into the pop category for me.
And you know, and I think some, I think there are songs that do
not start that way. There's songs that come out and
it's like, oh, this is a clearly R&B track.
This is clearly a hip hop track, but it gets so big it becomes a
pop track. And I don't know how that
happens. It just does.
Hey, well, but again, thought doll song is again one of the
ones. But yeah, as I said, this, this
that that falls more than a pop for me.
But that's that's just me. So but I I would not put Doll
song in like my top five on B songs.
I think that we are getting to in the weeds on this, the thong
song. He is singing his heart out.
There is no reason that when you have a song about a dog and you
have one verse that just repeats the entire song, should anybody
be singing like that? He is singing.
He is RB singer. He.
He sang the verse twice and then.
That's all about it. That if, if anything, that's a
disqualifier. Because it's like bro, how you
got? One verse and singing it well
twice and then rapping it another time.
Come on man. The strings though y'all.
I know I love the listen, I love the instrumentation on thong
song. Do not get me wrong all.
Right, that's fine. The mic is.
Is there any song on this list that you feel like needs to go?
I'm a gold ribbon in the sky. It is a it is a, it is a great
RV song, but I think, I think this one, it's, it doesn't hit
R&B as strongly for me. It it it definitely has like 1
foot in the soul category. Thank you, because I didn't want
to say it. I don't like Luther Vandross.
I also don't like Stevie Wonder. I just don't like Usher either.
I don't like, I, I, I, I don't like men for some reason.
No, but I, I know it's blasphemous.
Stevie Wonder writes great songs, has a great pen.
He's an excellent musician, but I just his songs, I just don't
really relate to what he was going through in the in the
cocaine era. They might be I.
Have ain't no way I have ain't no way on my list.
So it's not too young, but. No, I just don't have a
preference for Stevie Wonder that we'll just leave it.
At that I just. I I guess DeMarcus has a valid
reason Jardo is being a hater because he.
One person is a hater, 2 people is feedback.
Yeah, man, but I, I can let it go because yeah, it's, it's, you
know, it's a, it's a beautiful song.
But I I get the the floating into the soul category.
OK, now let me go back over this list.
Poison ain't no way I care. We belong together where I want
to be. One in a million with you.
Irreplaceable Pony and Superstar are still on the list.
So what on this list has to stay?
You said has to stay. Yeah, has to stay.
I might not make it to number one.
I'm going to it's, it's a more easy stay.
I will absolutely like concede that point.
Yeah, it's more new Jack's swing, but it still falls into
like R&B and you can even say that it's pop, but it's it's
generational. It's one of those songs that
like has reached, it's almost, it's a, it's a 36 year old song
at this point that still gets played on, you know, in parties
and radios and clubs and it still has some R&B behind.
It it still gets played, it's definitely R&B is not better
than the Dawn song. I don't know I'm I would I'll
take poison over Dawn song. That's just me.
I. Think, I think poison, I think
poison got to stay poison. I think poison should stay in
the in the fight. I don't think that's the one
that's that's I don't think, I don't think I'm not sending
poison straight to the finals, but I will see where I want to
be straight to the finals. No.
I will send that straight to the.
Final. Donald Jones has one of the best
R&B albums of all time. So, and that song was the the,
the titular track is what made that.
I mean, it's not the song that really made the album, but that
song is, is so that is a dude who was in love and didn't
realize he's about to cheat, so he's leaving so that he doesn't
cheat. That that is that is real rhythm
and poops because you that is that struggle that a lot of
people are not mature enough to do on their own because they
will not cheat. Or rather, they will cheat
instead of being mature enough to be like, hey, you know what?
Let me step back and make sure that I'm doing the right thing.
Because we all want our Kate and our Edith too.
It is a beautiful song and I will say it doesn't need to be
exit off of this list. I don't really want to put it on
the final. You have to be on the final list
yet. So like the market said for
poison it it it can't stay for now it.
Needs to fight for a spot. Yeah, it needs to fight for a
spot. OK, OK, OK.
OK, what about one in a million? That one can go.
That one can go OK, bet. OK.
One of the million is making it to the final five.
No no no, that one can go to AT double hockey sticks.
Wait, what? She only says 3 notes in the
song. She only says 3 notes in the.
Song What is one that you think can go straight to the finals
then? The eye that can go straight to
the finals as on here it would be.
It's between we were all together and ain't no way.
I can do. I can do we.
We belong together. Ain't no way ain't I ain't
feeling it. Ain't no way.
Why aren't you feeling it? Why aren't you feeling it?
Are you serious? Ain't no way.
Have you heard? Ain't no way.
I have heard it. Sync it.
Hold on one second. Exactly, exactly.
I'm writing down the finalists. So, so far we got.
We belong together. We belong together has to be on
this list. Finalists.
All right. So of the three of the three
that we had duplicates of the one in a million Superstar, I
guess we belong together is the answer to that question.
Never mind. We're not.
Going to say, of those three, which ones can, which one can
go? But just we belong together
right here. What about Irreplaceable?
Irreplaceable needs to fast track it onto this list too.
I took that off. We replaced it with Pony.
Oh God, that one can get off the list.
That's, I don't know that's. Pony can't get off the list.
That's genuine's biggest song too.
I don't. Know.
I don't know it is his biggest list.
That's that's a raunchy R&B song.
It is. And I think it deserves the
squat. OK, it's raunchy.
We understand. Do you?
I can sing. We understand.
I don't think that it's better than the Donnell Jones song.
So before I put Pony up there, I would go ahead and put the
Donnell Jones song up there. Or I care.
Or I care do. You want to put the Donnell
Jones song up there. And I, I think if we're going
back to the question of what we think can go from this list, I'm
going to say ain't no way. For the same reason that ribbon
in the sky can go because it's a, it's a soul song.
It's more of a soul song than ribbon in the sky.
I didn't say anything about Soul Song.
It's a disqualifier for me. That's what I'm saying and that
is why, that is why I would disqualify it.
And we did that. We did that for Ribbon in the
Sky. No, I did that because I don't
like Stevie Wonder. Sure, but are you saying you
don't like Aretha Franklin? I'm saying I do not like Aretha
Franklin for R&B. Even though she says.
Queen of. Queen of.
Soul. She's the queen of R&B, she's
the queen of R and. B.
She's called Lady Soul. I think that ain't no way has to
stay on this list. I don't think KJ, what do you
think? If I am going to eliminate
something, I will say it. It'll probably be.
Ain't no way. KJ you're supposed to always
take my side. I've.
I've taken your side before, but they're they're sometimes that
I'll, I'll take the Marcus's side, man.
OK, OK. Well then I say that if it's
between poison and pony, then Pony Pony needs to go.
No pony needs to stay. Poison needs to stay.
Most definitely poison needs to
stay. Pony over here, man.
Definitely. I'm, I'm, I'm Dang, I don't want
to recuse myself because I'm just like, I'm conflicted
between those two because I, I kind of like them equally.
So I. Don't know they they do fall
about the same they. Do fall about the same.
Different reasons. Yeah, we can come back to that
one. How do we feel about with you
Chris Brown? No, no, definitely not.
No. I'm I'm going to say no, even
though I love I love with you, but I think I damn my favorite
Chris Brown song. If you had said yo, that would
have been even. That's the one decision for me.
That's the one that popped into my head right after I put it
with you on. The list.
Yeah, yeah. yo-yo, Slash. Excuse me.
Is that that would have been the one.
I'm like, oh, damn, now I'm conflicted.
But with you, I think I can let that go.
OK, great. So we letting that go.
Like off the list. Yeah, All right, y'all, we are
getting down to it. Poisoned.
I care we belong together where I want to be one in a million
and superstar. All right, so we really only
need to to oh wait, hold on 12345 yeah we can.
If we eliminate one more song, then we will have all four all 5
songs and then we just got to put them in order.
So of these of Poison, I care Pony, one in a million and where
I want to be. Which one of those would y'all
eliminate? 118,000,000 doesn't even fit in
this category. Anymore, why does it not?
Cuz OK, I mean not one in a million, sorry, not one in a
million pony. I would say my my 2 are pony and
one in a million dollars are the two that can leave for me.
One adult can go. One moment I I got to, I got to
make sure that I I'm listening to I care correctly before I
make judgment. And I know that you're not going
to. Y'all cannot take Beyoncé off my
list. It's not that.
I'm listening. I'm listening to I Care now.
Like I was like, I wasn't familiar enough with that song.
And you know what? That alone it's reason enough
for me to be like I care, can leave, can leave.
No, because just because you're not familiar with it.
I'm not familiar with half of these songs.
Did I not say who sings this song?
Did I not tell KJ I left in the talking?
I left in the talking. Did I not tell KJ to sing the
song? So me not be familiar with it is
not a problem for the list. That's your personal problem.
And it was my personal problem when I was doing when I was
looking at these songs. So that's your personal problem.
Just because you haven't heard the song cuz your musical
intelligence is subpar does not mean that the song goes off the
list. DeMarcus are.
You done? Yes.
OK, so that's my reason for putting I care on the shopping
block. I'm not that familiar with it.
And you said this is our personal list.
It's not about spins, plays, listens or record sales or
nothing. So whatever fucking reason I
want, just like you said, I don't like Stevie Wonder, so
that's why I'm chopping it. Oh well.
Oh fucking well. The mic is you are not Beyoncé
on the list because you're a Beyoncé hater so.
I care. Sounds a bit poppy to me.
It's not pop, it's clearly R and BI am serious It's not What's
poppy about it it? Sounds a bit poppy to me.
How is poppy means pop means popular?
Didn't you just say not 225 seconds ago that you've never
heard this song? So how in the world is it
popular? If you haven't heard this song?
I don't understand your logic. How is it?
How? How is it so?
You agree it should be chopped because it's not popular?
I. What you walked into that one
bro to? Marcus I I didn't say that
anything, should I? I said before I said 5 minutes
ago that nothing has to. Be chopped because.
We don't like, we don't like the song because we don't know the
song. That's not a valid reason.
I just said that, DeMarcus. I listened.
To it and I and I didn't feel you can't tell me what what
criteria I use. DeMarcus, DeMarcus, I'm telling
you that you cannot. You not knowing a song, it's not
a valid reason. I would, I would.
Feel better if you said I don't like Beyoncé.
That would make more sense because I said I don't like
Stevie Wonder. What would make you feel better
is not my concern. It's a good song, it deserves to
be on the list. It's especially over over Pony.
It starts me on the list, AJ. What do we think about IKEA?
You don't care about that. He's still listening to it.
Well, I can. I know you don't care too much.
I'm still. I might have to edit this part
out because Parkwood is not going to let me.
Parkwood is not going to let me play all this.
You may be. And it's not acapella the the
zoom is it? He does have original sound from
musicians. I'm sorry I I checked out to
listen to the song. Were y'all still arguing?
No, no. Yeah, Yes, we are.
No, no, Yeah. So hey Jay, as our musical
expert, what do you what? So I'm, I'm, I'm listening to I
care as I'm listening to y'all talk and I'm, I will say that I,
I had to remember this song because I, I remember listening
to 4 when it dropped. And I will say that this is one
of Beyoncé's hidden gems that I, that I cannot believe that I
have not listened to the song more.
That being said, it's not particularly my favorite and I
don't want to take Beyoncé off this list, but I have plenty of
other Beyoncé songs in, in my tub that would be more.
I think that would mean more to me than this song.
Yeah. OK, so so this song over Pony.
And I would agree that like Beyoncé should have a song in
these five slots for best R&B song.
This is not the one. Well, this was my list.
This is one of my favorite Beyoncé songs.
I could have gone Me, myself and I because that one probably
would have slayed. I'm on this list, but I wanted
to put on I care because Beyoncé can and she should succeed in
this. I do not think that I care.
Should not be on this list and then Pony be on the list?
I am, I am comfortable chopping, I care and keeping both poison
and pony. I think I I pony gotta go.
I love pony and really pony can go and in poison can go because
the sinking is better in pony, But I really think that pony
gotta go because I, I, I have more of a personal connection to
poison. That's why poison's on this
list. But if anything has to go, it
would be poison. A pony.
Not I care. No, not I care.
Definitely think I care. Should go.
No, no, no, I care. And he's adamant about keeping
eye care on. He he he is in in KJ and I have
spoken. No, KJ didn't say anything yet.
If if it's between poison a pony and I care, I care.
Might have to get the axe bro. I'm sorry.
I hate, I hate that because. Again, so you're putting on this
list of top five favorite songs. You're going to put a pony a
song about a woman's right to choose and and you had the phone
phone valid invalidating her right to choose riding in
missionary in writing or doing another position over I care
which talks about caring for somebody and we're.
We're doing this objectively. Again, this is about how we
feeling and what we what we like.
And as you said, you know, we're not talking numbers or for not
talking radio spins. And if we, if we even are
sticking with just, you know, the how good, how good or how
great the song is, I'm not convinced on I care just yet.
Now, maybe if I listen to it a few more times, I could have
more structure, but after a one or two, listen, I don't know if
I can say it's better than poison or pony.
Now, Jarrett, to your credit, if you had, well, if you said me
myself and I, I probably would be a little more conflicted, but
if you had said dangerously in Love too, I really would have
been like, Nah, a pony can go. Had it been crazy in love, I
would have been like, yeah. Well, no.
If legal aids can't be on that, crazy love can't be in there,
because both of those are pop. And that.
And that's fair. So, but if you would say it
dangerously in love, I would have been like, that's one of
yeah, yeah, I, I, I concede, but I care.
I I, I I can't rock with it bro I'm sorry.
Well y'all have never been to a Beyoncé concert.
And it's to your credits. I have not.
I would love to go to a Beyoncé concert.
You know, I had to pick unfortunately, between Kendrick
Lamar and Beyoncé because they were both $500 tickets and I
chose Kendrick Lamar because of the moment, so.
Obviously my fandom came out when I wrote that.
I like it's my favorite Beyoncé song and we have a top five
actually. Do we want to try to order these
or this is just the top five in no particular order?
We're kind of running out of time.
Yeah, I say in no particular order.
In no particular order from my list, all that made it was
poison. The amazing poison.
From Demarcus's list, all that made it was Pony.
But from K JS List, the reason he probably is on this podcast,
we got We Belong Together by Mariah Carey, where I want to Be
by Darnell Jones and One in a Million by Aaliyah.
Those are some good. Those are good R&B tracks.
I don't, I'm not mad at this
list. I would put these players
together and listen to it. We should make this a black
geek. Energy Players, Black Geek,
Black Geek R&B, GE Part 1 and just put all 20 songs that or
all 15 songs that we had that we listed from the beginning.
That's a good, that's a good idea.
Put it in a playlist. Yeah, DeMarcus, you should do
that sometimes. All right, KJ, let's move on to
the 17 questions. I'm going to ask you 70
questions about this podcast and other podcasts about your life
and we are going to answer them. This is a quick fire so you
could answer these questions quickly.
What a yes or no, or you can go in death.
So let's go to it. Are you a binge washer or do you
like to watch week to week? I'm both.
It depends on the show, but I'll do both.
Did you see Wonder Man? Yes, it's the entire thing.
Loved it. Yeah, absolutely.
Loved it. So is this you like it more from
your acting background and more from your Marvel background?
From both backgrounds, actually, it getting a chance to go deep
into like his his psyche and trying to figure out like what
he wants to do with his life and, you know, struggling to
make his dream come true. And then of course, also seeing
the, you know, his powers come out during times of emotional
stress. I think that that is, it's a
testament because Marvel has not, they do not dive deep into
those stories that often, but when they do, you can even throw
thunderbolts in there as far as like dealing with emotion and
depression and things like that. This is, that's why I like, I'm
like, OK, this is a story that's better told than, you know,
across a 2 hour movie. So I I I love the Wonder man.
It was very human. Where is your favorite horror
movie? Sinners there might be recently
biased, but Sinners was fucking brilliant.
Yeah. Which H we CU would you have
gone to if you did not pick Hampson?
Prayer Review, A&M. OK.
That's in Texas, right? Yes, in Prairie View, TX, they
had given me a academic scholar. It was a small academic
scholarship, but they had given me an an academic scholarship
and I was supposed to go over there and audition for the
marching storm. Did not get the opportunity
because my mom did not. We did not want me going all the
way out to Texas and not having family there.
Oddly enough, it was like long after I graduated from Hampton
that we found out that on my dad's side, my, my aunt's
husband, my uncle, he's got plenty of family over there
because he went to prayer review and then my cousin end up going
there anyway. So, but yeah, that would have,
that was my, that was my primary choice.
And then Bethune Cookman was my second, but they didn't give me
any money, academic or otherwise.
Hampton was actually my third SO.
He had this is just the leftovers.
It was just, I don't regret my choice because yeah, Hampton, I
learned a lot. I gained a lot of friendships,
brotherhoods. I will, you know what?
Because I chose, it was my third choice, but at the end of the
day it ended up being the best choice for me so.
OK, who is the best gay Disney villain?
You said the best Disney villain.
Yeah, who is the gayest Disney villain?
Sorry. I mean, does does Ursula count?
Yeah, she is based off of Divine who was at Florida Drag Queen.
She does. So yeah, I I would say Ursula.
What's your favorite TV theme song?
Oh, probably Judo Flip by Asheru, which is the that's the
theme song for the Boondocks. I never knew that song.
Yeah, it's called Judo Flip by Asheru.
Nice. You are tasked with giving
aliens an album that will save humanity.
What album do you get them? Jordy, you're not going to like
my ancestor Stevie Wonder album songs in the kids life.
I would probably do a Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross album.
I think that if I did a Beyoncé album, they would just say to
black people who is the best dad on TV?
Are we talking from the 90s or are we talking just in general?
In general, any any time in all of TV.
I'd probably say Uncle Phil. I think that he very, very
strong father figure for Phil and a very strong father for
Carlton. So yeah, I that's just my
personal reference. Unfortunately, Cliff Huxtable
has left a nasty and sour taste in my mouth so I couldn't name
him. Yeah, Kevin Feige and James Gunn
tell you to make a solo movie or TV show based off of 1 of their
characters. Who do you pick and what is the
premise of the movie? OK, so we know Kevin Feige is
with Marvel and James Gunn is with DC and naturally it, it
have to for if we're doing the DC route, we've got to figure
out a way to get all of the the licensing correct in order for
us to actually do a static shot movie.
Because that is one superhero that I would I would love to see
a movie from. And I've been waiting for a
movie it seems like for the past 25 years.
But I think that, you know, initially Static is not a
character that's like owned officially by DC is licensed to
DC, but it's not owned. So if the licensing and the
owners can actually get find a way to come together to actually
make the movie happen, I would say we need to go that route.
As far as Marvel is concerned. I'm I'm already a, a spider man
head. So they've already done and and
every and any spider man movie I can think of, they've already
told the story of Miles Morales or are still telling the story
of Miles Morales with across the spider verse and but beyond the
spider verse. And it just so happens Spider
man is my favorite marvel superhero.
So I if I'm trying, I'm trying to think outside of spider man.
I would love for them when they do do X-Men, I do want to see
them focus on other X-Men characters. 11 major focus that
the movies haven't touched on is Bishop.
And Bishop is one of my favorite X-Men.
So I I do want to see more more of that that story of, you know,
'cause I thought that he might be involved in Days of Future
Past, but he wasn't. So now that that hasn't
happened, it's like, OK. Well.
Yeah, now that Disney owns the the rights to X-Men, now they
can they can throw him in there. Yeah, he was there.
He wasn't a major part. What is the best?
You right, but he he No, Yeah, you are absolutely right.
Yeah, What is the best TV show for kids that is on now?
Oh God, I haven't been paying too much TV right now, at least
not for kids. But I'm I do want to answer the
question here. So for kids though, what is what
what what TV shows are playing right now?
I know, right? Well, really, that's the answer
to the question. Because there are no TV shows
for kids ever since Trump's presidency and him, the leading
PBS and Cartoon Network shutting down Cartoon Network studios and
Nicktoons going solely to YouTube.
So there aren't any TV shows for kids covered out now?
Yeah, yeah, this, this administration sucks beyond if
if I had to say like if we're talking for kids, I guess.
Is Bluey still on? Yeah, Bluey still comes on.
Go with that one. Disney Plus it comes on another
station in Australia where it was made.
What movie or TV show are you looking forward to for the rest
of 2025? Well, we're in two.
You mean 2026? No, I mean for the rest of 2020.
Oh die 2026, that's the one we're in now.
Yeah, the the Marvel hit of me is just waiting for, you know,
Spider Man Brand new Day and Avengers Doomsday.
I want to see what what since we have moved on from the
multiverse, I want to see how they're able to incorporate Doom
in this, because Doom happens to be one of my favorite Marvel
villains. And unfortunately the the last
three Fantastic Four movies before Disney got hold of it
didn't really do Doom that much justice.
So now I'm like, all right, well, now that we are getting
doomed in the, you know, MCUI want to see where that goes,
even even with, you know, Robert Downey junior coming back to
play an an alternate character. I just want to see where this
goes with that for the anime. I know that and we're in spring
season with anime so I know for me I'm waiting on the last part
of Bleach Thousand year Blood war.
That time I got reincarnated as a slime has come.
Back. Yeah, Slime is back.
Oh. It started today or yesterday.
It was the IT was the third, it was Friday.
I watched the first episode so I know I want my my boy Rimaru to
to do some some work. I know what villain is is going
to be at the end and I can't wait because I know he's about
to beat the bricks off of her because I've read part of the
back story where she thought that she stood a chance against
him and she stood no chance against me moving.
I'm like my overpowered slime K rules.
There's also a brand new anime that actually just started
yesterday but I didn't get it to finish because I actually fell
asleep. I was tired but Damon's of the
shadow realm. Has.
Dropped in For those who don't know that is the same author of
Fullman Alpha's Brotherhood. So I'm getting ready to tap into
that and there's a lot of there's a lot of spring anime
that I, I have to catch up on, but I I don't we don't I don't
know we don't got a lot of time, so I'm going to try to keep it
brief, but those are some of the movies that I'm looking forward
to I'm looking forward to Supergirl as well.
I I want to see that, you know, the DC ahead of me definitely
wants to to catch that. And I know that there's been
other movies that have that have been announced, but it's just so
much media out there. It's like I haven't been paying
attention. I still have yet to see I have
yet to see the Super Mario brothers movie.
So I can't see Super Mario Galaxy until I see Super Mario
Brothers 1st and I know I can probably watch that on one of
these stream this side. So I'll probably I'll probably
knock that out today if I got time.
But I do want to see Super Mario Galaxy, even though it's, you
know, a lot, a lot of critics Panda.
But I'm like, well, listen, cartoon is.
For children. Yeah, like, what are we?
We're not expecting masterpieces here, Not with Mario.
Come on guys. Yeah.
So. OK, next question is going to be
a toughie. Take one person off of the Going
Mary and replace them with another anime character.
Oh shit. Man I really hate to do this to
to my black brother Usop, but God Usop.
I'm sorry bro but if I have to take you off the going Mary or
the 1000 Sunny at you, you will be first on the chopping block.
And it's not to say that Usop hasn't come through in the
clutch, because he has, but but he can probably be the first to
go if I had to replace him with another anime character just
like from any other anime or or just from One Piece in general.
No from any anime or it can be One Piece.
OK, shit. If I had to if, if it's from a
One Piece perspective, I'm putting Yamato on there because
Yamato really wanted to go on a journey with them, but
unfortunately they had to stay on.
They had they had to stay in Wano for for for reasons,
obviously, but I do want to see Yamato on the going married, not
going married the 1000 Sunny, because we're we're past that
that that would be nice to see them do that.
Yamato is one of those characters that I want to see
more of from them and just how, you know, they interact with the
rest of the straw hats and and the rest of their journey.
If it's from another anime, I got to go with my boy Ogin from
fire force. Yeah, Ogin, he really, he's
really like that and is a great and close combat.
I know that they would technically still need a
sharpshooter, but oh, I think, I think he'll be all right.
If it was me, it would definitely.
I'm taking off. What's his face, Sanji, because
he doesn't even deserve it. I'm putting Bon Clay on there
because he definitely deserves it and I really like.
Oh good, you can send. Sanji off bro.
Damn, that's. Sanji Who?
What? Why?
You take what you taking the dude who feeds everybody off the
ship and then on top of that, like he's one of the what they
call the three monsters of the of the straw hats.
So you you lose your your third best fighter.
Bon Clay can fight, too. He can fight, but he's not.
Sanji, he's the leader of the gays so.
I'd say the second leader of the gays, but you know, 'cause we
know the the the actual leader is Aronkov.
Big head. Yes, Aronkov is my *** man.
I love Aronkov. Me too.
When he when he made that guy into a girl without consent, I
was just like, Oh well, you are now the person I'm going to be
watching. Who is your favorite super
villain of all time? Oh, of all time.
No, this, this one was harder than the last one 'cause I'm
thinking in terms of I'm thinking in terms of anime and
I'm thinking in terms of Marvel and DC and comics and all of
that. No, that's my most hated
villain. I don't, I don't want to talk
about that. So I I will say my favorite,
it's probably between, it's probably between Doom and Dark
Side. OK, OK.
What song would be sung better? Wait, Let me go back?
What song would be better sung by another artist?
Jesus, I got to, I got to dig deep in my back for this.
OK, but actually, you know what I don't love by Keyshia Cole.
Yeah, I'm not a particular fan of that song.
Who's the artist? Who?
Who is singing better? Anybody.
Anybody Bro? Listen, I know it's a meaningful
song, but it's just unfortunately, I think Love was
a little bit out of her range and you can hear her voice crack
a couple times when she's trying to do the run.
And that's and I know that that makes the song more sentimental,
but it also doesn't do well for my ears.
So I would give it to literally anybody else.
You could give it to Beyoncé, you could give it to I wouldn't
give it to Alicia Keys because Alicia Keys is also tone deaf
now herself. Unfortunately after it I think
God took her gift away when she marries me when she cheated.
I'm on that man. Yeah, so.
But you can give it to any like, prominent R&B singer, and I
think they can do it better than Keisha Cole.
Yeah, yes, Coco could sing that song.
Hell, I know that you have a problem with with Chloe Baylor,
but Chloe or or Haley could sing that song better than she could.
Yeah, that song always sounded offbeat to me, and I think
that's why all these football players like it.
What would you rather be a wherewith for a vampire?
I, I, I would rather, I guess, live 100 years so that way I
could, or hundreds of years so I can kind of figure out the keys
to life. So I'd probably be a vampire,
OK. Also, live a long time.
Really. Yeah.
I was going to say because I know that that I I've in
comparison, I know that they're not as immortal as vampires tend
to live, but you know, you put some new perspective.
That being said, I think. It depends on the lore.
Because I think it really does. Underworld series vampire lore.
They are both equally long lived.
OK. Yeah.
Good point, Good point. Who was going to win the NC
double? A Michigan right now just looks
like they are unstoppable. So I'm I'm going to pick
Michigan if we're talking the in in the male tournament in in the
women's tournament right now. Oh God, that's crazy.
UCLA is beating the bricks off of Carolina.
Damn they maybe it's a good thing I'm not watching that
game, but it's 38 to 67, damn near 30 points and it's it's 6
minutes left in the fourth quarter.
So it looks like UCLA is going to run away with this one.
But if I had to pick between UConn and Michigan, I'm a pick
Michigan just because Michigan looks like they got an offense
that can't be stopped. Though I would like for UConn to
win, but I my pick is Michigan. OK.
What is your favorite rap album of 2026 so far?
So far now I haven't listened to a few albums I got to catch back
up, but so far it's The Fall Off by J.
Cole. Absolutely.
That's the correct answer, yeah. That that could change because
again, we got a long year and there's still a few albums that
actually just came out recently that I have to tap into, but so
far as to fall off. OK, OK.
And for our last question, tell us what podcast are you on
again? Yeah, so for those who don't
know, once again, I am a part of the Chaotic Culture podcast.
That is the podcast that I have created.
That is my baby. That is the thing that I care
about right now the most. No, no shade.
The mother podcast. They know I love them, but still
that is the that is my platform. You can check it out on all
streaming platforms or on YouTube to watch the live
videos. So wherever get your podcasts,
be it Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Amazon
Music. We we are we are on all the
major platforms except SoundCloud.
We're not SoundCloud rappers here.
You can again. You can also mainly the the most
views are found on YouTube though.
If you go to YouTube, be sure that you like the video.
Share, subscribe. Of course, hit the notification
bell for any of the videos that you watch.
Check out some of the clips. My clips unfortunately get more
watches than the actual episodes which is crazy.
Too. But it'd be like that.
It's just like people have such quick, short attention spans.
You get more views on a 45 second clip than you do on a 30
minute podcast topic. But you know what?
It is what it is. I guess I'm a find a way to tell
people, hey, if you like this clip, tune into the podcast and
you'll get more context because some people got all up in the
tizzy when I said that Krishan Rock was not a responsible
parent. So.
And she's not. What are we?
What was the tizzy about? Because she made this argument
on Twitter. Well, it was a clip that was
supposed. To that her that her doctors
told her that her child does take medicine or shouldn't take
medicine, right? No, that her baby needs help.
Yeah. And she was saying that she
doesn't need to listen to doctors because she got God
behind her. And I'm just like, did not God
put the doctors here for us and your children?
Come on now. What are we doing?
Use the resources that God gave you.
But she was just like, I can't wait for my baby to start
walking and start talking. And I'm like, yeah, your baby's
three years old and has not developed their cognitive
functions yet. That's.
That's a problem. Yeah, she also talks about, you
know, smoking and drinking while the child was pregnant.
That that was the other thing that I, that was the, that's my
main comment on the clip. I was like, yo, why are we not
holding her accountable? She was literally smoking and
drinking during the pregnancy. So of course her child has a
disability. Yeah, she's not.
She's not a good parent. She's a horrible parent.
But yeah, you can find KJ on all his platforms.
Chaotic culture with AK will be linked in this podcast show
notes. You can find us Black Geek
energy Black Geek energy on all the platforms and on Twitter.

Like in 2024 when you came on, it was our longest episode that
year. So you are continuously covered
on here giving us amazing, amazing conversations and just
making, yeah, just pushing the boundary and doing the things
for us that we need done. So.
Hey pleasure to be here as always man, all of my brothers
you already know anytime that y'all need me to come through I
will as long as I don't got something conflicting.
Obviously, yes, yes, yes, but yeah, we will have you back
soon. We want to talk about anime with
you soon. Probably a better episode than
does breast size equal power like was the Vikings last topic
two years ago. But.
You know, I feel like that still holds true man.
Show me a strong little titty anime girl, wow.
Listen, this is coming from somebody that does not mind
fanservice. So, people.
Will get all. Of the titties about fanservice
and me, I'm just like OK. Yeah, yeah.
Titties man, Come on. Yeah, and the YouTube algorithm
is the worst. Iceman.
It's the same problems with our podcast.
But anyways, you want to find KJ?
Go to Canada Culture and follow us everywhere on here and make
sure you watch our shorts and make sure you watch our stuff.
And that's the end of our show. BGEL.
All right, Yeah, we're not going to do what we've been doing this
because I still got two more questions to ask AJ.
And if you got something you would have asked, go ahead and
ask him. Oh, Pax is here.
What happened? I said, you know, I come up with
my questions on the fly. Yeah, Arson is here.
He's actually going to be on the podcast next week.
We are both fine. Is it next week?
No, it's not next week. Next week, it's in two weeks,
right? And.
Then. When are you on?
Where are you on the podcast? It's April the 19th.
All right, so the 19th he is going to be on.
I'm going to think about that episode too.
We're going to talk about daddy issues and being a a sexy daddy
in the gym and being a big Daddy in the car listening to music
and being a daddy cooking briskets and being a daddy
taking your kids to the pumpkin patch.
So we're gonna ask a lot of daddy questions to the Big Daddy
because we're not daddies at all.
Oh, you made ribs today? He just said that he made ribs
today. Were they BBQ?
Were they honey flavored? Or what kind of ribs did you
make? Arson.
I have not had good ribs since my uncle made them.
And he would make his own BBQ. He would do like honey sweet
glaze. Yeah, he would do honey.
He would do some Tabasco in it. It tasted real good.
Those were the only ribs I ate. And ever since he died.
He's having to eat ribs. I found another meat.
I did find me another meat to eat, but I would taste your
ribs. So that's all y'all had, That's
all the family had to eat was just ribs and nothing else.
Just ribs. Everybody come over and eat
these ribs. No sides.
Oh, no dairy, of course. But yeah, what are you doing,
DeMarcus? Really.
Oh, you. This this this whole thing
sounds real suggestive, but you. Know reeling.
What do you mean like? I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm.
I'm throwing aback. I'm flabbergasted.
I'm confused, yeah. What's got you some
flabbergasted? Never mind.
I mean, you didn't hear Jared, didn't hear something out like,
oh, like you're a daddy. We're not daddies.
Oh, you made some grill. Oh, just giving everybody your
me. I'm just and you know, I'm
paraphrasing here and I'm like, this is getting real suggestive.
Oh, OK, getting real. There's got to be a better way
of phrasing. Stuff.
First of all, DeMarcus, nobody's thinking sexually.
Second of all, you know, I have my chat on the side of my
window. You're going to have Arson from
the Player Player podcast on in a couple of weeks.
I'm just prepping him for some of my questions and, and he's a
daddy. He he's a new father.
He just had his kid. Yep, he had ribs in in a while
so you had to find a new meat. I did.
I started eating oxtail. OK.
See the clarity the the the the specificity and clarity you have
now would have been helpful then.
I don't understand why your mind always goes to gay sex instead
of just meat. It always goes.
It always goes to gay sex instead of just meat.
Is that what you? Mean.
Yeah. So KJ, what you get?
I just got some fad noodle soup. Yeah, I'm going to do that for
lunch. For for dinner, I've already
cooked some BBQ chicken. I just got to decide on a rice.
I'm probably going to do like I'm either going to do either do
dirty rice or or like red beans and rice.
It just really depends on what I'm in the mood for.
But after I finished the rice, I already got got the vegetable
cooked. I'm just doing not the canned
green beans, but like green beans that you get like fresh
out the pack. But I boiled it and not not
chicken stock, but like the chicken bouillon and whatnot
that my mom used to do and like cut up a little bit of onions
and whatnot. So that's, that's what I have
for, that's what I'm having for dinner, but I needed to have
something in the meantime. OK, well we don't mind if you
eat on this show, but I'm still going to ask you these
questions. That's fine.
OK. In 5432.
