realize that Jinx remixed that version
2:44
and put the Earth Wind and Fire sampling
2:46
that wasn't the original okay right the
2:49
original really didn't get that Vibe but
2:51
when he put that Earth Wind and Fire
2:52
remix to it we just flipped it everybody
2:55
was like yo yo yo we need to flip that
2:57

2:59
primary yes
3:01
didn't have no problem with that no I
3:04

3:06

3:19
um yo today uh Tracy made this
3:21
announcement at the end of our celebrity
3:23
wire report
3:24
um today in um in Hollywood California
3:27
Tupac Shakur will get his star on the
3:31
Hollywood Walk of Fame
3:33
and I would have definitely been there
3:35
yes uh by his sister's side however we
3:39
were releasing the show yeah what does
3:42
that mean you obviously you and him went
3:45
out you know he was your friend and
3:46
y'all dated and I mean but that was so
3:48
young ago I mean this is the fact that
3:50
he was a good friend of mine yeah he
3:52
just had a great relationship you know
3:54
I've had longer late relationships of
3:56
course outside of Tupac but
3:58
um just the fact that we were just close
3:59
I mean you know when he became this
4:01
historical figure in hip-hop which you
4:04
know
4:05
yeah yeah yeah deserving of it deserving
4:08
of it yeah I was just gonna say it to me
4:11
it just seems long overdue like when the
4:13
news came out I was like POC doesn't
4:16
have a star right that's just the timing
4:19
of it to me just seems over granted he
4:22
has it yeah and deserve it right but I
4:24
just it felt like it was there or should
4:26
have been there already right with all
4:28
the money they've been milking out of
4:29
his talk about it can't talk about that
4:31
yo see like everybody makes money off
4:34
people make money off Pock by talking
4:37
[ __ ] about them right you know that they
4:40
create these narratives right that's why
4:42
I made it a point you know you know I
4:44
just got to the point you know love them
4:45
support them but yeah I don't want to
4:47
have a conversation you don't have to
4:49
tell interviewers like you know pop
4:51
listen I have two kids yeah there's a
4:54
lot more to talk about no I'm just
4:55
saying you know their dad is looking at
4:58
me like what the hell another pox story
4:59
like if you don't get your ass out of
5:01
here
5:05
one more Jam
5:09
check what the hell is going on now I
5:12
only acted because we were all friends
5:14
and it's different for me I mean of
5:16
course like I said he he has created
5:18
such a legacy I've always loved him I've
5:20
loved him as an artist I've loved him as
5:22
an Entertainer he's one of the best
5:24
performers I've ever seen in my life the
5:27
passion that he had for music the
5:29
passion that he had for Community he was
5:32
you know from the West Coast which is
5:33
was accustomed to something different
5:35
here this young man came in with this
5:38
you know this black power you know
5:40
Malcolm X turned I mean uh Martin Turner
5:44
cheek and Malcolm X you know has a
5:45
different aspect but he came both sides
5:48
so yeah and I loved it and he was a
5:50
Lyricist he was always writing you know
5:52
somebody I can sit with and spit with
5:54
all the time it wasn't like it was
5:55
abnormal for us you know it was always
5:57
beating on the table he'd always walk in

13:12
question though for you yo-yo as far as
13:14
your show were you excited I heard you
13:15
mention your mom in the in the trailer
13:17
were you excited to be able to do
13:19
something with her yes she was excited
13:22
to go in that barnyard and have to pick
13:24
a domino where are you going where are
13:26
you going
13:28
ladies and gentlemen
13:34
it was Authority Tennessee Tuxedo I'm on
13:38
the board citizens let's go on your back
13:40
black oh that sounded offensive
13:55
so let me ask you this because you talk
13:57
about
13:58
um being a mother
14:00
how was I was talking to someone
14:03
recently about work life balance yes and
14:06
you know and when we came in the game
14:07
our whole Mantra was to grind yes
14:10
sleeper beater cousin of death we none
14:13
of us slap as the youth you know you
14:15
remember the 90s we were all working and
14:16
we didn't know it was nothing was
14:18
guaranteed you know nothing is
14:20
guaranteed but for a lot of us including
14:23
myself I kind of wedged myself in my
14:25
work more than I did my life balance
14:29
um how was it for you uh coming up when
14:32
you became a mom and still balancing
14:34
being an Entertainer well it was
14:36
definitely hard I definitely understand
14:37
what you're what you're saying because
14:39
but I had a nanny a wonderful nanny who
14:41
helped me assist me with my kids brought
14:44
her in and she she gave me that comfort
14:45
that I needed me so it wasn't like I had
14:48
to leave my kids you know if my kids
14:50
they always was at home or with me
14:53
traveling which was easy but the fact
14:55
that I felt like you know I needed to
14:57
give more to the family to build that
14:59
Family Foundation that came with me
15:02
surrendering like you know there was a
15:04
transition in my life just with me
15:05
soul-searching myself
15:07
um so throughout my life at a young age
15:10
I just started soul searching I mean
15:12
music kind of changed for me in the
15:14
early what
15:15
the late 90s late 90s yeah yeah you know
15:19
what I mean so for me it was I quickly
15:21
adjusted I said okay I got to figure out
15:23
how to get a foundation it just wasn't
15:25
stable enough for me so I went back to
15:27
school
15:28
um I did a lot of things but you know
15:31
building a relationship with God really
15:34
gave me the foundation that I was
15:35
looking for it really honed in on me
15:38
um giving my kids what I needed you know
15:41
what I mean because I used to think
15:43
success was all of these things but
15:45
success really was having your family
15:47
respect you having knowing that charity
15:49
starts at home building those bonds with
15:52
my children understanding letting them
15:54
understand who I am bringing them into
15:56
my world so it took a lot of time but
15:57
yeah I mean I'm I feel like I'm
15:59
successful my kids are in the kitchen
16:01
cooking they love to hang out with me
16:03
they wanted to come out here for the
16:04
Press tour I was like no
16:06
a little too much it's not gonna be a
16:09
shopping trip or a hangout or you know
16:12
right right right this is work but I
16:13
mean I feel successful my kids really
16:15
they really mess with me yeah oh without
16:18
question they respect me they you know
16:20
proud of me they're the first ones on my
16:22
page like yes give me bodies babies yeah
16:25
you know yeah real support yeah and
16:28
that's really I mean I just took time
16:30
and I think I'm thankful to God that I
16:32
had that kind of Peace because that's
16:34
why I say the cooking show was so good
16:35
for me because during that time it was
16:38
I'm telling you it was a it was a it was
16:40
a sit still
16:42
it was a sit still moment you know it
16:44
was a surrender moment you know a sit
16:47
still moment I love that right I think
16:49
too A lot of times we we get the
16:52
warnings that it's time to sit still but
16:54
you so busy like I gotta keep going I
16:56
got to keep going and that was such a
16:58
that was such such a trying time for me
17:00
because listen nobody can could
17:03
understand like God was giving me so
17:04
many instructions it was a lot of
17:06
praying it was a lot of commitment it
17:08
was a lot of removal yeah you know what
17:10
I mean it was a lot of trust God had to
17:11
show me that with nothing I had
17:13
everything you know because when I was
17:15
praying to him for more like God help me
17:16
like you know God you know I've been a a
17:19
child star from
17:21
yeah a young age my whole life you know
17:25
how to help me God you know my sister
17:27
said just get you know a job and I you
17:29
know working wasn't bad for me it wasn't
17:31
that but I was just trying to build that
17:33
Foundation praying to God God said you
17:35
want more do more so I had to sacrifice
17:37
I had to completely trust him because
17:40
the grass metaphorically speaking the
17:42
grass that I had built for myself God
17:44
said I'm not planting no seeds in that
17:45
grass
17:54
[Music]
17:55
it was a yes season at my worst time I
17:58
was I was to say yes so I was showing up
18:00
in places when I felt less than myself
18:02
but what I was doing was planting seeds
18:04
and all those yeses became God's trees
18:08
and plants you know and that's why I
18:10
said this show is um
18:15
I'm telling you not only that I'm
18:17
anywhere you ain't come on man downright
18:19
delicious
18:21

fad for the Essence Festival 2023.
31:58
um yeah it's a lot of stuff going on
32:00
yeah yeah there's a lot of stuff going
32:02
on I uh premiered on the show Disney
32:05
Saturdays we just wrapped our last
32:07
season I played the role of Duchess
32:10
um got a lot of stuff going on
32:13
live that's coming out this June
32:17
um yeah yeah
32:20
it's hip hop 50 you I I don't
32:25
and I don't mean this in a derogatory
32:27
way okay in a factual way there's a lot
32:30
of voids in the history that's being
32:32
told in relation to what happened on the
32:35
West Coast
32:36
you know it's a lot of stories I'm not
32:38
seeing in the docu-series right me too
32:40
you know what I mean you feel me like
32:42
absolutely I feel the same absolutely I
32:45
feel the same way sorry yeah and it's
32:46
kind of um it's um it's frustrating
32:49
because I know people are trying they
32:52
want to tell these stories and a lot of
32:53
folks that are in charge of these
32:54
stories are working with either
32:56
production companies or networks or you
32:58
know producers that aren't from the West
33:00
Coast if you what I want
33:04
more from the West Coast I want West
33:06
Coast representatives to represent I
33:09
mean you know we don't have enough
33:10
leadership who is willing to put
33:12
themselves on the front line and that's
33:14
what it takes you have a lot of East
33:16
Coast cats really putting yourself out
33:17
there really bringing people to the
33:19
table the West Coast lacks that yeah you
33:22
know they they lack that and you know
33:23
and that's why they have me here I come
33:28
hahaha well yes and I represent I
33:30
represent them on the board for the the
33:32
Museum oh my jacket just went into the
33:34
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame okay okay
33:43
yes so my friend's company did that
33:46
jacket years ago so Norman I did the
33:49
real world the very first season he was
33:51
in a company with Kim and and they did
33:53
that jacket
33:56
tell them
33:58
I will I'm gonna text Norman right now
34:00
I'm gonna text him right now they did
34:02
that jacket and it was so funny because
34:04
he was like crazy when I moved into the
34:06
house do you know yo-yo
34:09
[Music]
34:14
I get it
34:17
so I don't know how
34:21
half of that hotel must have found that
34:22
jacket and got that jacket and uh it was
34:25
classic people remember that listen and
34:27
I had that jacket all of this time is in
34:30
perfect condition and I just shipped it
34:32
out well I'm about to congratulations
34:36
I'm right there where you are
34:39
um suede we don't have enough
34:40
representation every time I go somewhere
34:42
I'm feeling like damn I really have to
34:45
study the history of of West Coast
34:47
because I really need to talk about it a
34:49
lot more yeah before it was just about
34:50
you know
34:52
I was enough but there's not enough
34:53
leaders from the west coast to really
34:55
take a stance on it we had um
34:58
DJ Alonzo uh come up
35:01
um recently and really broke down some
35:03
history on prior to Dre and them
35:05
starting NWA in the world class wrecking
35:07
crew and yeah how cute came in and had I
35:11
uh CIA and yeah all of these beautiful
35:13
stories that needs to be told yeah right
35:16
yeah and so so I don't think the problem
35:19
is
35:21
um what you said you know I think we we
35:23
have to really step up and tell our own
35:25
stories yeah you know we have the
35:27
resources and um
35:29
it's just time to do it ourselves so me
35:32
and the guy by the name of Kevin Sweeney
35:34
we're doing something um about West
35:35
Coast
35:36
um hip-hop there's a lot of different
35:38
folks I know that are doing things and
35:40
I'm kind of climbing on board you know
35:42
because and then with the west coast and
35:44
then it's the LA history then it's the
35:46
central California history and it's the
35:48
northern coast it's broken down Bay
35:51
history is different from L.A history
35:53
it's different from Fresno's history you
35:56
know what I mean and these stories which
35:58
is necessary are necessary it's almost
36:00
like finding the Lost Books of the Bible
36:03
or something like that and you know the
36:04
West Coast I don't think they understand
36:06
how serious this is and how the book is
36:09
being written yeah you know like it's
36:11
writing you out of the history exactly
36:13
and it's look at your ass riding who you
36:16
writing out anymore she's talking about
36:17
