 What's going on it's your man Corey and welcome to episode three of um I still haven't figured the name out for this this is the episode where we're going to figure out what we're going to call this show if you stick around to the end I'm gonna put some names out there that I've seen some of you drop in the comment section y'all have actually been coming up with some really cool names better than what I could have came up with um so I'm gonna just drop a few that I've seen that I kind of like we're gonna vote on it I'm gonna look through the comments and whatever gets the most votes whatever it feels like we rocking with that's what I'm gonna move towards and that's what we sticking with forever because I just need something to build around but if you're new to this this is your first time tuning in this is pretty much a new show that I'm doing where I want to talk about some of the things that have been happening in music throughout the week just get your opinions on things give you something to talk about to discuss something to debate about in the comment section and just you know get your chance to get my opinion on some of these things that's going around because some of y'all hit me and ask so I figure you know why not share with everybody so what I want to jump into first is this our Linux and Lizzo situation now if you're unfamiliar this past week BT held is Soul Train Awards and if you're unfamiliar with that the Soul Train Awards is pretty much like the last award show that's purely about honoring R&B music is meant to honor R&B singers soul singers and people who fit within that category new old in between all that good stuff so the most recent one happened this past week and we saw people like Lizzo Beyoncé her Cardi B Beyoncé Summer Walker Chris Brown all of these R&B heavyweights get nominated for these different awards that they were presenting now our Linux specifically our Linux is a singer that is assigned to Dreamville Dreamville is Jay Cole's labels right she's based out of DC really really talented artists who put out her album shape of the baby earlier this year through Dreamville through the whole nine so it was pretty much her debut album and what many people consider to be like one of the best R&B albums of not just this year but in a minute and I listen to it is a really good album she feels slighted because she lost album of the year to Lizzo now she didn't specifically call out Lizzo you can't find any audio of any video of her saying you know forget you Lizzo I should have won it but she went on a long rant on twitter basically talking about how she's done with the industry she's done playing the politics of the games of the industry and how she's not necessarily mad at the artist who won because you can't be mad at those artists right she's more so mad at the Soul Train Awards because she thought that they were supposed to honor and represent what soul music sounds like and she feels like she put out one of the most pure soul representative albums of this year and if you're looking at it that way you could you could see her point I do agree with that is out of all the R&B albums that have come out this year through her through Summer Walker through Snow Allegra um through Ella May Shea Butter Baby by Ari Lennox has been one of the more traditional sounding soul albums so even just me thinking and this is me without listening to Lizzo too hard I won't lie to you I haven't listened to a lot of Lizzo music I've heard maybe three or four songs but the songs I've heard from her or the songs I've heard from her have all been mostly pop songs or they sound more so like pop infused rap R&B style songs as opposed to what we traditionally think of when we think of the Soul Train Awards is you know that old school or just even modern twist on old school soul singing sound so that is what she's going off of that's the point that we're looking at from her I completely feel her I completely understand I would have thought that out of that category it would have went between like her like actual her not Ari Lennox her but the singer her and Ari Lennox or maybe even Summer Walker would have came into the category understand the Soul Train Awards given into Lizzo right it's a power play Lizzo is out of that entire list the hottest artist just of this past year she's had some of the biggest smash out his maybe maybe a close second with Summer Walker but I will argue she's probably been bigger than Summer Walker this past year right so it's a power move for the Soul Train Awards let's give the award to Lizzo so that you know we get all this attention from it not to take that away from Lizzo because Lizzo is dope but if we're going off of what we traditionally think of when we think of the Soul Train Awards or what the sound of what we thought or think that the Soul Train Awards is meant to embody and to kind of preserve and respect I wouldn't give that to Lizzo you know what I'm saying music is dope but it sounds more pop focused than Ari Lennox Summer Walker her and their whole nine yards so just some of the tweets to our lens was putting out there she was talking about it's not just the awards Shea Butter Baby was slept on in so many ways when too emotional to pretend like I can play this game it's clear I'm not cool enough not trendy enough and I don't care to be I don't strive for that I'm not going to and I think she said something like conform to what's going on uh later she wrote I made a soul from album I never ran from who I am I just expected that that one platform to understand that so she's going back to the point of Shea thought that a platform based around soul music would pick what she felt like to be the most soulful album of the year um I see that point but in the day I feel like what's the point of complaining about it? Ari Lennox you make dope music you'll be here for a minute you'll get another chance I get the the sting of having your first album lose it's your first you know it's your first hit at the back I get that but you'll be okay man your fans will love your music people are still defending on twitter I don't know let me know what you think do you feel like she's complaining or do you feel like she has a good point just let me know now let's use that to segue into another award show that is on the horizon right the Grammys have released their nominations for the 2020 Grammys it's going to preview and go on January sometime in January and I gotta say man this might be the first Grammy list that I've looked at in a minute where I'm like man they kind of got his right like I don't have any any hard complaints on any of the at least not the rap categories and the r&b categories I have a little bit of complaints on like the world music categories and afro beats not getting some category but so that's a whole another story for another day if we're talking about specifically urban music r&b rap they seem to have gotten right this year I'm gonna read off some of these nominations that they have on here so if we look best rap performance we got middle middle child jay cole the baby sugar down bad dreamville rax in the middle nipsey hustle offset cardi b clout uh for best albums who we got for best albums for best rap album we got revenge of the dreamers three championships meek meal i am i was 21 savage ego italian creator and the lost boy yb and corda that that in my opinion is a well rounded list we got the new hot act or a new hot act that actually put out a good project yb and corda right someone that has just really uh burst onto the scene really this year and really started to make a name for himself outside the yb and crew and just put himself on that bigger platform this year so it's cool for them to honor someone who was so young into the game right because we don't see it a lot especially not in rap it doesn't ever really seem like the grammy uh the grammy committee is paying attention to the acts that are just starting to come up it always feels like they're paying attention to the superstar acts which looking at the rest of this list that's exactly what it is right we got dreamville in there meek meal 21 savage entirely creator man that's a really well rounded list and another thing i think is really cool about this just personally is this man j Cole about to get everybody a Grammy i was just debating with one of my friends about if dreamville's album actually has a chance of winning rap album i feel like it does i don't think they'll give it to yb and corda i don't think they'll give it to toddler crater um because i think that when it kind of comes to if they're voting pure rap i don't think they'll give it to toddler if they're voting based off of even mainstream appeal i still don't think they'll give it to toddler but they could go in that direction just because it's something different from what's on the rest of the list i don't see meek meal winning it um i don't i feel like even though championships was a really good album i don't think they'll give it to him just because outside of that he was pretty quiet this year you know the grammy's is all about like who is the committee familiar with who are who do they know about who are they paying attention to um so i feel like revenge of the dreamers is dreamville compilation has probably the best chance of winning and if it does win that's just that's what like 40 something different acts producers songwriters that jaco has just thrown like this major look to like they're acts who are just starting to bubble out of atlanta that were on there like baby rose young baby tape um i can't think of his name right now um oh it's a rapper i can't i can't think his name but a lot of acts burgeoning from out of here to even up and coming acts like buddy and um and gwapda for a thousand and just these different burgeoning acts who this was already just such a great look for from jaco now he's giving them all the opportunities to walk around for the rest of their career and go i'm a grammy nominated arts if they win they're able to go for the rest of their careers i'm a grammy winning arts and i think that's cool man that's dope so and then in the r&b section i don't feel like they dropped the ball too much there uh there are a couple acts that i wish i got nominated let me go to a real quick and look so like for the they got daniel caesar love again her could have been lizzo gucci main exactly how i feel lucky day rosa moe anison pack 103 thousand come home and this is for the best r&b performance and then as far as the albums they got steve lacy in here they got now uh they got jesse rya as bj the chicago kid lucky day lmae anison pack pj morton man they got it right this year the only person that's missing from the r&b list in my opinion is snow allegra and salonj wait no salonj's album didn't come out this year right the salonj's album come out this year no i don't think so so snow allegra they're missing snow allegra in my opinion but bro kudos to the grammy's man kudos to whoever made the change on the back end on the community to get some people in there who are actually paying attention to what's going on and rap music and r&b music this year um hopefully it's coming from a good place you know hopefully we can see more of this because like i said this is the first time in a minute that i've seen a list and i was like okay i don't have any complaints i can work with that i can run with that and in other news last week we talked about codac black and how he had been sentenced to 46 months uh 40 months on those gun charges now it got reported shortly after me dropping that video that codac black is seeking to have some of his time served in rehab and rehabilitation and the reason he's seeking rehab is that um like i said literally probably a couple hours after i dropped that last video it was reported that he was trying or they were trying to get him a more time because he had assaulted an officer codac and his legal team were um are pretty much insisting that codac was drugged by someone in the cell so they're putting the story out that he was drugged by a rival gang member because of that drug and because of how he was drugged that caused him to react the way that he reacted to the prison guard um causing him to attack it and they're pretty much trying to seek having codac put into rehab based off of those claims and just some other things now in this sentence going to rehab is more favorable to him why you may ask is because like i said it knocks off prison time i'm reading here if he were to get it he would have the option of having up to a year knocked off his prison sentence so 12 months knocked off of a 40 minute 40 month sentence as well 28 months so that knocks it down to two years and some change uh like two years and a quarter or something like that so obviously if you're someone in codac situation you're looking to try to get the least amount of time that you can possibly do some things to knock this stuff down now outside of that i'm looking at it like if codac takes rehab seriously which they've been reports that he's been saying things like he's going to get a college degree and focus on like a business major and all this stuff if he takes this seriously um even though it'll be a long time before he gets out like i was in the last episode i am just a type of person where i feel like if you are an artist and you're in something actively trying to change for the better you're trying to come out of a situation that better person i can't knock you for it man like you're you're you're you're paying the time for the crime you did you're not running from it you're not trying to complain about it at this point you're just like i'm going to actually better myself which i'm hoping that when we see codac get released from these programs when he gets released in however many years times he ends up having to serve that he comes out a better person because he's young man like he makes pretty good music he's young enough that if he were to get out in three years he could he could hop back on the scene start putting music out and start you know pretty much working himself back to where he was assuming he doesn't get convicted of some of those charges that are a little bit more serious and image deterring than a gun charge right and i'm talking about like some of those sexual assault cases assuming that he's found innocent in some of those cases and it's proving that he didn't do those things he could still come out of this situation in a good enough spot to rebuild his career and rebuild his name back out there he's like 21 22 like you know he has at least another six to seven to eight years out here um especially as a niche really popular niche artist um because he does make good music so hopefully he comes out of this better person overall um take rehab seriously bro you know i'm saying you have fans out here that want to see you do right and and do right by everything that you have coming out man like so that's all i got for that situation other than that man it's been a pretty slow week uh as far as new stuff there's a couple things that came out that i didn't really feel like deserve enough coverage but if you're into music if you are interested in albums that are coming out this week this is actually a pretty good week for music releases like across the board rap and r&b so we got ynw meli's meli versus melvin album ynw meli is the artist that you know famously was uh i don't think he's been convicted yet but he was sent to jail and they were using his song murder on my mind to pretty much paint the picture of him killing his best friend and using it you know against him as evidence saying that he told the story that artist has dropped his second album this is not his debut album but his new album somehow from prison bro like ynw meli probably has one of the best behind bar work ethics i've ever seen of any artist like he hasn't let his social accounts die he drops a new song like every other month and now he has an album and it's actually really been talked about and i've listened to a little bit of it it's really good so far um but it's something that i'm looking out for you got part next door and drake just dropped the song which is really dope part next door rarely ever drops music i think he hasn't dropped the song in like a year year and a half and of course he's gonna drop something out with you know the ovo big boss dawg drake which in my mind spells that a part next door album is coming so that could be cool uh trippy red drop all love loss uh not all love loss um a love letter to you for this is the fourth album and of course that compilation i think this is maybe trippy rares like fifth or sixth album over like a two or three year time span um i haven't listened to it yet i'm looking forward to it as a trippy rare fan i'm not gonna lie to you uh i haven't been like super impressed with some of his last releases so i'm kind of looking at it from like the standpoint of a fan that's like hey man you know hopefully this is the one because he's been losing me a little bit but i've heard some of the singles he put out before it so i'm gonna give it a chance they were pretty dope i'm thinking that you know this is the fourth part in his series that he really cares about that he's gonna put some real effort into it and give us some dope music so i'm gonna check that join up um lil dirt dropped the song action brunson dropped his lamb of a rice album o3 grito and kenny beats dropped netflix and deal album summer walker and chris brown dropped their song lots of new music coming out this week if you feel like i'm missing anything drop it in the comment section below let me know what's up i'm trying to check everything out catch on to everything and then you know trying to be out there with y'all man y'all gotta put me on some the music the same way we put y'all on the new people and all that stuff and lastly lastly lastly i said in this video we are finally going to pick a name for this show it's been a long three episodes a long couple of days of me stressing my brain out trying to think of names for stuff i suck at naming stuff just letting y'all know but i did see two really cool comments in the sections um my bad for not putting the names of you guys who said these for me but if you know who you are and you know you said it thank you we're gonna vote on these two it is down between counter kory counter kory i kind of like that and lunch break i like lunch break as well i might i might do some name tweaking with a little bit you know maybe throw the kory in there but those are the two names i've kind of fallen on that i've seen from you guys that i personally like are counter kory and lunch break counter kory lunch break if you like those names vote in the comment section below let me know which one you rocking with which one you think we should run with if you think you got a better name man you really think you're just that confident your naming abilities drop that as well man i'm taking all bets
