3:12
You know what I'm saying?
3:14
Steph Curry. I got to
3:18
Anyway,
3:19
okay. I'm just a girl. I don't know
3:20
anything about sports. Okay.
3:22
I just know the popular names, that's
3:24
all.
3:24
Okay.
3:26
Steph Curry there, BB. I hate
3:29
you
3:29

3:31
I said I said Kobe.
3:35
Okay, Kobe. God bless you,
3:36
Jordan.
3:37
All right. Okay.
3:38
Okay. All right. All right.
3:39
That's all I'm saying.
3:43
I have an album out right now called
3:44
Villain Origin Story. You flirting swway
3:48
and you know this
3:51
like no it is something in here but it
3:53
just so I'm a little delayed but not
3:55
that delayed. You flirting.
3:59
I like BB. I think she the [ __ ] and you
4:02
listen to her album Villain's Origin
4:04
Story and the way she writes speaks to
4:07
me.
4:09
Well,
4:09
thank you so much.
4:10
Absolutely.
4:11
I appreciate that for real. And
4:13
and that's what the album is about. It's
4:15
about telling a story. You know, I named
4:17
it villig villain origin story because I
4:21
feel like
4:23
everyone has been a villain in someone's
4:24
story,
4:26
right? You talk to one person and you
4:27
say, "How's BB?
4:30
I don't like me."
4:32
Or, "How's BB? Man, she's the greatest."
4:34
Everyone's a villain in someone's story,
4:36
right? It's about the POV. And so, this
4:38
album is my POV of the relationships
4:40
that I've been through, not just
4:42
romantic, but platonic, right? and just
4:44
going through my life and talking about
4:46
how I feel about those things, right?
4:48
Because we always say our truths, right?
4:51
So, it's okay to tell your truth, you
4:53
know? So, I always want to live in
4:54
authenticity. And so, that's why I named
4:56
this villain origin story.
4:59
Yeah.
5:01
So, you want to be the villain in her
5:03
story.
5:04
Hey, man.
5:04
Or you want to be the hero.
5:07
The choice is yours.
5:09
You could get with this. Are you naughty
5:11
or not?
5:11
I just want to be in the story. you
5:13
know.
5:16
Okay. This second record right here,
5:19
this record is called Everything You Do.
5:21
And it's basically, you know, everything
5:23
start off good in the beginning. Right.
5:25
Right.
5:26
Right.
5:27
It's roses and stuff.
5:29
And that's what this record is about.
5:32
It's called Everything You Do. Hey. Hey.

14:06

14:07
Worrying you.
14:10
Stressing you out. Won't give you a
14:12
raise.
14:15
Let it rain. Pick up the phone. Heather,
14:19
pick up the phone. Heather,
14:20
I'm turning my phone off.
14:22
BB, you are exceptionally incredible.
14:26
You are the entire package.
14:28
Thank you.
14:29
Plus some.
14:31
Yeah.
14:32
The artistic expression. Fernando. I
14:35
know you recognize when she sings and
14:37
she expresses her lyrics. Did y'all
14:39
follow the story?
14:40
Yes, indeed.
14:41
Every detail is intentional. This is the
14:44
truth right here. BB. I even got a
14:47
question, Tracy.
14:47
Well, I do cuz baby is my new baby girl.
14:51
Hey, that's my homie right there.
14:53
Come out. Come on. Listen,
14:56
no, I really appreciate you and you're
14:58
also so effortlessly sultry. I got to
15:01
put that out there, too. Just the full
15:03
package. And we know um that you
15:07
collaborated with so many people. But I
15:09
also realized through the skill of your
15:10
songwriting, you're collaborating with
15:13
your audience, your listeners, because
15:15
not only does music um soundtrack and
15:18
environment, a vibe, but music can also
15:21
be the catalyst for our own
15:22
conversations. And so in that way, when
15:25
the record stops, the lyrics continue
15:27
through the dialogue we're having with
15:28
our friends.
15:29
Absolutely.
15:30
And I'm I'm wondering with this era
15:32
you're currently in, what are the
15:34
conversations you're hoping your music
15:37
prompts for black women specifically?
15:42
I always tell my friends when I'm
15:44
talking to them, I'm talking to myself,
15:46
right? I'm looking in the mirror and me,
15:49
my lyrics are me looking at myself in
15:51
the mirror, talking to myself in the
15:52
mirror. And so the conversation for them
15:55
is that they are enough,
15:58
that they are loved,
15:59
right? And not just the cliche cuz
16:01
people say, you know, you're enough,
16:03
you're loved, but like you can really
16:05
stand on your own two feet and have a
16:07
voice. And that's why I'm so big on like
16:09
the story of it, your POV, your truth,
16:12
because no one can take that from you.
16:14
You know, life is about perspective.
16:16
It's either the glass half empty, glass
16:18
half full, right? And so even in some of
16:22
my darkest times, some of the times when
16:24
I was like, I don't know how I'm going
16:25
to make it to the studio. I got nothing
16:26
in my tank. Whatever the case may be,
16:28
right? There was me talking to me and
16:31
telling me, hey, you got this. You can
16:33
do this. You are loved. Wait for wait
16:35
for the right person. Don't um have any,
16:38
you know, um have some self-respect and
16:40
all these things and all this self-love.
16:42
Um I have a song called self-care from
16:44
my last album. It's talking about I just
16:45
want to take a day off, have a me day.
16:49
Black women are not allowed to rest.
16:54
And I thought that if I worked harder
16:56
than everyone that I would be rewarded
16:58
with more
17:00
and I was not. And so my conversations
17:03
that I would love that I would hope for
17:05
everyone to leave with especially my my
17:08
women my black women my brown women is
17:12
it's okay to do those things to to talk
17:15
to be optimistic to love to love on
17:17
yourself to take those self-care days to
17:19
custom when you need to to let it ring
17:21
sometimes it's okay to do those things
17:24
you are enough and you are able you are
17:27
someone to be able to stand and do that.
17:29
Amen. Y'all give it up. Standing ovation
17:31
for BB.
17:33
BB. Let's take a picture, guys.
17:36

18:00
