0:44
naacp award winner
0:47
rolling stone i'm not even sure if they
0:49
knew who you were at that time
0:51
and they eventually deemed you a new
0:53
kind of star a new kind of celebrity
0:57
and you shook up the world and you
0:59
you've done a lot you've done so much
1:01
for body image for positivity
1:04
um for people just being comfortable in
1:06
their skin
1:08
you you really handle what comes with
1:10
the fame in the fortune really well i
1:12
wish i could have warned you i knew it
1:14
was going to happen for you early on in
1:16
your career
1:17
that you were going to blow up
1:19
and everything that we dream about when
1:21
it comes to this business would be there
1:23
but just other things that we never even
1:25
thought about that would be there too
1:27
and those who are solid within
1:28
themselves will always prevail and we
1:31
watching you prevail lizzo we watching
1:33
you prevail round of applause i gotta

1:37
team heather b tracy g tracy say what up
1:40
tracy what up trey says
1:43
oh my everything
1:45
calloway said
1:46
is so accurate and i was reflecting on
1:50
our time together because this is not
1:52
our introduction to each other
1:54
and what a privilege it has been to see
1:57
you
1:58
as a seed and then bloom
2:01
not into just like one flower but an
2:03
entire garden
2:06
you know what i mean there's so many
2:07
directions that you've been able to take
2:09
music but what i feel like is most
2:11
important when i think of your impact is
2:13
your identity is not singular to music
2:17
you know what i mean like your spirit is
2:20
so expansive you're the type of person
2:23
where we're not just solely connected to
2:25
you because of the music
2:28
we're connected because of your
2:29
vulnerability
2:31
we're connected because of how many
2:32
times you make us laugh
2:34
when we needed it and when you needed it
2:36
so
2:37
it's just such an honor
2:39
to have seen from the beginning we
2:41
weren't there from literal day one
2:43
but we were there like at the
2:46
end of like day one day one tracy
2:51
well yeah that was like tight that was
2:53
like 2013
2:54
yeah that's day one we went day one i i
2:57
think i dropped little bangers in 2012
2:59
2013 yeah
3:00
yeah yeah yeah paris
3:02
what
3:12
one of our broadcasts too i remember
3:13
speaking to eliza in the bathroom and
3:15
went on a broadcast
3:16
yeah just getting her mind right
3:18
i was i think i was like fixing my wig
3:20
and my makeup i was on y'all show when
3:23
my wig was sliding to the side now i got
3:24

3:29
look what money do the money look good
3:31
on you um
3:33
yeah listen um let's talk man i love the
3:36
new single
3:37
i love rumors
3:39
um thank you yes what i like about it
3:41
because i feel like we we exist in the
3:43
time now we can't you know cancer
3:45
culture backlash celebrity backlash
3:47
became so prominent you know um and it
3:50
became um in in our sphere and now
3:53
you're starting to see people question
3:55
that
3:56
wait a minute where is this coming from
3:58
why are you why why do i receive this
4:01
backlash matter of fact i'm going to
4:03
process your backlash
4:05
i'ma process these rumors i'm a process
4:07
these things you say
4:09
my way and regurgitate it back to you
4:12
and take the power away from it
4:14
because i don't want to feel bad every
4:16
day reading this [ __ ]
4:18
you know what i mean so i'ma put it in
4:19
your face that's how i interpreted this
4:22
song
4:24
okay talk about when did this song start
4:26
when did you start writing and then what
4:29
triggered it
4:30
wow
4:31
that was the most poetic poignant spot
4:34
on
4:35
you know dissertation of what
4:38
this song actually is like everything in
4:40
my life i everything negative as well as
4:44
as well as the positive i use
4:45
constructively right when i'm sad i'm
4:48
like okay where is this sadness going to
4:50
take me how how is this going to produce
4:52
his gratitude in my life and how can i
4:54
use this constructively how can i put it
4:56
in a song how do i use it as therapy so
5:00
yeah rumors
5:01
was this was a culmination i feel like
5:05
you know people imagine one day i'm
5:07
reading a newspaper i'm like
5:08
god damn it i'm sick of these rumors
5:11
driver take me to the studio
5:14
like that
5:16
what happened really was just like
5:18
i have held my tongue a lot and i used
5:21
to be like
5:23
clap back clap back on twitter i used to
5:25
troll people back you know back in the
5:27
day and i think
5:30
i realized my responsibility you know
5:32
when i had when my profile rose and my
5:35
my significance publicly rose and my
5:39
follower count rose i realized you know
5:42
the more that i fed into negativity the
5:44
more that it was getting attracted back
5:46
and i don't want that on my karma i
5:48
don't want to
5:49
you know bring
5:52
something negative to a person who was
5:54
probably having a bad day i just wanted
5:55
to talk some [ __ ] now all my fans are
5:57
attacking them they didn't sign up for
5:59
that so i have been holding my tongue
6:02
for a long time and there's been some
6:04
things said about me that was very
6:05
hurtful
6:07
and i couldn't just respond because hey
6:09
that makes news
6:11
and it's not in my favor it just kind of
6:13
like inflames the whole situation so i
6:16
thought what's the best way to repurpose
6:19
this and use it so that it's
6:20
constructive to me
6:22
i put it in the song i make it a hit
6:25
and i get a grammy
6:26
watch
6:28
out
6:43
your first wig didn't twirl like that i
6:45
was just going through the day
6:59
oh my gosh
7:03
[Laughter]
7:07
i remember lizzo um
7:09
i can't recall the exact date but it was
7:11
one of our earlier interviews
7:14
and you were so candid and said
7:16
something that pained you at the time
7:18
is you felt like you were making music
7:21
for black people
7:23
but you weren't seeing black people at
7:25
your shows
7:27
and that was forming a wound talk to us
7:30
if that feeling any
7:33
residue of it is still around
7:36
or when it shifted
7:39
um
7:40
and mind you
7:42
i felt that way
7:44
because not because there were white
7:47
people at my shows or non-black people
7:49
at my shows but i think because my music
7:52
was helping people
7:54
in real time i'm like how am i i wish i
7:57
could help my people
7:59
so that kind of hurt and you know i kind
8:02
of almost felt like i wasn't accepted at
8:04
the time
8:06
and i was just too weird and too outside
8:08
of the box which hurt even more because
8:09
it's like not only am i not able to help
8:11
people who look like me i feel rejected
8:14
by people who look like me
8:17
i think that everything takes time and i
8:20
think that
8:21
i'm a black woman and i'm making music
8:23
therefore i'm making black music and i
8:26
think it just took some time for me
8:29
to be put in a position where i could
8:31
reach people in a broader way
8:34
to finally be seen by my community and i
8:38
trust me i went out for juneteenth
8:40
in l.a and i was walking around and they
8:43
were like listen list out and i was like
8:45
wow like this is full circle to four
8:49
years ago i could have walked out in
8:50
june
8:51
two years ago i could have walked around
8:53
a june team and they nobody wouldn't
8:55
have known who i was but to see people
8:57
were like man i love your music thank
8:59
you for everything that you've done it
9:01
makes me feel better from black girls
9:04
yeah you know what i'm saying big black
9:06
girls too
9:07
they say you have no idea what you've
9:09
done
9:10
that moves me so i feel s i feel healed
9:13
whatever that wound that was forming is
9:15
healed now
9:16
that's amazing oh man that's amazing
9:19
that it don't get realer than that right
9:21
ain't nothing realer than that feeling
9:23
and and here's the thing
9:25
i mean you you you definitely um you're
9:28
gorgeous amazing
9:30
black woman
9:32
you're a god black woman is god amen and
9:35
so when you when you speak and when you
9:37
heal when you impact people
9:39
you know even though it might be
9:41
targeted to a particular sect of people
9:44
it affects everyone so i remember the
9:46
naacp awards and you talked about uh
9:49
when you received one of those awards
9:51
you were saying i'm here i'm a black
9:53
woman i'm a big black woman and i'm here
9:55
we you know we're here to stay and i was
9:57
curious too i was wondering how many big
10:00
black men have approached you and told
10:02
you
10:03
you know what i mean like told you that
10:04
story too like hey i'm feeling what you
10:07
saying has that happened indeed that's
10:09
deep um i've had it happen
10:12
i've had it happen absolutely you know
10:15
they'll come up to me like you know i'm
10:16
a big boy and you know
10:18
so i've experienced this
10:20
in body confidence it it goes both ways
10:23
it knows all the ways you know what i
10:25
mean like i might my message is always
10:28
about inclusivity i am a big black woman
10:31
so therefore that is my identity do you
10:33
know what i mean but at the end of the
10:35
day that's not who i'm only making music
10:37
for it's music from a big black woman to
10:41
the world and i know
10:44
that my music can be
10:46
it can make you feel good it can be like
10:48
therapy so i want that to be
10:51
just given out
10:53
to everyone freely you know what i mean
10:55
like
10:56
no discrimination
10:59
don't be scared of the truth
11:02
truth hurts
11:10
just to kind of get liz i'm glad that we
11:13
have you because
11:14
so many different conversations are
11:17
happening in people's households for the
11:18
first time because you kindled them you
11:21
know even when it comes to like
11:23
different language i feel like i'm sure
11:25
there's people who probably hurt
11:27
inclusivity for the first time just off
11:28
the strength
11:29
of following you
11:31
and i'm curious like from your
11:33
perspective and i've spoken to someone
11:35
else justin stanley i'm not sure if
11:37
you're familiar with her but
11:39
yes um but for anyone who's watching
11:41
this or listening jessamine is a huge
11:44
trendsetter within yoga she's a yoga
11:46
teacher and also
11:48
an activist and a woman who would call
11:51
herself big or fat right and there are
11:54
some women or humans where if other
11:58
people
11:59
use the word big or fat they're fine
12:02
with it because they use but then for
12:03
some people
12:04
they don't even want to be called plus
12:06
size or don't want that as the adjective
12:09
what do you think is the best way for
12:11
someone who is not big themselves
12:15
to
12:16
describe someone else
12:19
that's deep
12:21
you you don't
12:23
you don't keep keep them adjectives to
12:25
yourself because you know that's where
12:28
i'm at i went from body positive
12:31
to body neutral because i'm pushing it
12:33
forward like there was it was body
12:36
negativity that was popular you know for
12:38
a long time or not even popular it was
12:40
the norm
12:41
and then i came in and there was a whole
12:44
like you know fourth wave maybe i think
12:46
it was a third wave or second wave of
12:48
body positivity and we all came in and
12:50
we were like hey you know love yourself
12:53
and that can be you know
12:56
aggressive
12:57
yes like you need to like yourself
12:59
before you love yourself
13:01
yeah exactly and you know it can also
13:03
feel
13:05
difficult that's a hard
13:07
you know goal to reach and it could also
13:09
feel delusional or sometimes you're
13:11
lying to yourself or sometimes you're
13:12
faking it to make it and i wanted to put
13:15
that precedent out there
13:17
and now that that is a conversation
13:19
that's being had in homes like you say
13:20
i'm moving forward to body neutrality
13:23
and to me it's like and i'm not trying
13:25
to coin this phrase or nothing because i
13:27
know there's body
13:28
norm body normality
13:31
body normative people anyways regardless
13:34
it's just like it's a body
13:36
it's it's just somebody's body yeah
13:38
nothing to see here keep it moving you
13:40
don't got nothing to say because now we
13:41
have a lot where people are doing body
13:44
augmentation and people are commenting
13:46
on that it's not just about fat or finn
13:49
anymore it's like there's people who are
13:51
like saying bodies are fake or real and
13:54
at this point there's going to be so
13:55
much conversation it's just like if you
13:57
have nothing nice to say and if this
13:59
person's body has no direct effect on
14:02
you
14:02
shut the hell up it's not your business
14:05
right
14:06
it's not your body
14:08
you you know salt and pepper had a song
14:10
cause none of your business from back in
14:12
the day just came to head you should
14:13
revisit that song it's got a crazy hook
14:15
i can see y'all getting together doing
14:17
this oh my gosh that that's brilliant
14:19
you and salt and pepper
14:20
um
14:21
i just floated like future i'm right i'm
14:23
writing that down write that down
14:25
uh it's not a your business if you
14:28
anyway
14:29
you remember that yes come on
14:32
business oh my god i'm here with you
14:36
you know you know what i find
14:37
fascinating about this song
14:40
the two
14:41
is that you and your feature
14:44
the magnificent cardi b
14:47
have
14:47
so much in common
14:49
and it's obvious in the verses
14:51
uh some of the things you're talking
14:53
about uh some of the first rumors you
14:55
talk about is people saying you're
14:56
trying to turn big girls into holes
15:00
[Laughter]
15:02
it's my fault i take full responsibility
15:04
you take full responsibility
15:09
yo they turn it up and then cardi says a
15:11
line that's so funny to me i haven't
15:13
memorized it yet uh uh but what she said
15:17
that they writing stuff in blogs and
15:19
blank overseas and languages i can't
15:21
even they write lies and blogs overseas
15:24
or languages i can't even read right
15:26
what the [ __ ] does this mean yeah what
15:28
does it mean
15:29
when you when you sat and talked i don't
15:32
know how y'all talked if it was on the
15:33
zoom on the phone
15:35
um did you already have a relationship
15:37
prior to this
15:38
and then i want to actually you did okay
15:41
where did that start a relationship with
15:42
cardi
15:43
the relationship started you know we're
15:46
both signed to
15:47
atlantic and the day
15:50
the the ink dried from her signature to
15:52
signing i was like
15:54
please put me on a song without me
15:57
i was such a fan of hers because her
16:00
social media presence i was like this is
16:02
a superstar she's so [ __ ] funny you
16:05
know and then she could rap you know the
16:08
gangster [ __ ] volumes are iconic
16:10
you know the kings took this about yes
16:13
you got a dig in the crate
16:15
[ __ ] come outside like
16:17
she's she's just incredible so it
16:20
started she got signed and you know so
16:23
we there were certain events that we
16:25
would see each other at whether it was a
16:26
grammy party or julie's birthday
16:28
and whenever we saw each other
16:31
she was just so sweet to me they said
16:32
yeah you know cardi wants to meet you i
16:34
said hi
16:35
me you know what i mean i was so i'm
16:38
always flattered when anybody cool wants
16:39
to meet me because i just feel like the
16:41
biggest freaking nerd and geek
16:44
and she was like yeah i like your music
16:47
and we hugged and she was always so
16:50
sweet and so supportive of me and from
16:53
then on we followed each other
16:55
um and anytime i had
16:58
any type of backlash or anything get
17:00
kind of out of control in the media she
17:02
was always one of the first people
17:04
to reach out to me and she would send me
17:06
like a little voice note in the dm she's
17:08
like hello liz oh i just wanna let you
17:11
know
17:13
you know i'm saying all these things
17:14
about you and you know the same things
17:16
be happening to me and i just want to
17:18
let you know
17:19
just keep making your music let your
17:20
music speak for itself and just get on
17:22
the charts that'll shut everybody up is
17:24
when you're on the charts i was like
17:27
let's do it together yeah there you go
17:32
boom did y'all um record in the same
17:35
room or did y'all just kind of share to
17:37
share the files
17:39
it feels like we recorded in the same
17:40
room it's got that very hungry energy
17:43
like that tag team in the second verse
17:45
but due to covet unfortunately we did
17:47
not because um we had to facetime each
17:50
other i would have loved it but you know
17:52
we got to keep her safe her and cardi jr
17:57
cardi jr we got to keep them safe so
17:59
yeah that was our experience but
18:01
she's such a hard worker bro i don't
18:03
know if y'all heard that about her or
18:05
seen it about her she works so she works
18:08
her ass off for other people i was so
18:11
floored and like humbled and i was like
18:13
you did not have to do all of this for
18:15
me you was pregnant like yeah you didn't
18:18
have to do all of this for me and she
18:19
did my granted she's on the song she's a
18:21
feature but it's my song so that's my
18:24
that's my baby you know what i'm saying
18:26
like so
18:27
i'm always just in awe of her work ethic
18:30
and how giving she is
18:32
she seemed like this song was
18:34
therapeutic for her too
18:36
almost
18:37
right
18:44
how did you explain the concept to her
18:45
how did she receive it when you
18:46
explained it what did you say
18:48
well basically the song kind of spoke
18:50
for itself okay and i was like what did
18:53
i say to her i actually i'm trying y'all
18:56
are the first people i'm trying to
18:56
remember this for cause i did write her
18:59
i said i got one for us and i said it's
19:01
on some um i said some rock and roll
19:05
talking that [ __ ] hold on let me find
19:07
our dm real quick oh she's posting all
19:09
of this stuff okay and i like that you
19:11
reminded people that black folks created
19:14
rock and roll
19:16
okay
19:17
so i said i said i got our song sis
19:20
showing ass and talking [ __ ] on some
19:21
rock star [ __ ] let me know when i can
19:24
play it for you
19:27
that's the concept
19:30
that was it we got another one tracy
19:34
that's a high fast page well it's so
19:36
dope hearing that you guys don't just
19:38
get along like in terms of being a fan
19:40
of each other's music but there's a
19:41
camaraderie in there because it makes me
19:43
think
19:44
of um j cole jay cole head did this
19:47
interview for kevin durant's podcast and
19:50
he was reflecting on his longevity in
19:53
his musical career and how one of the
19:55
things he's focusing now is really
19:57
investing in his friendships with his
19:59
peers
20:00
because when he started off
20:02
he solely saw um
20:04
kendrick as competition you know what i
20:07
mean he's so slowly thought big sean is
20:09
competition and
20:10
i remember this photo where it was you
20:13
sizza kelani and y'all were just looking
20:15
like the baddest little throuple and i
20:17
was like look at my girls embracing and
20:19
i wonder for you getting into the
20:21
industry
20:22
was it easy for you
20:24
to start these friendships was there any
20:27
type of trepidation you know or
20:29
hesitation because you hear so much of
20:31
you don't know if you can trust this
20:33
person you know what i mean you don't
20:35
know if they're going to stab you in the
20:36
back you don't know if they're genuine
20:38
well the thing about
20:40
solana and kailani is that i've known
20:43
them for so long like mia says a toured
20:46
when she had orange hair back before
20:50
you know what i'm saying back in the day
20:51
we did a red bull college tour together
20:54
in like 20
20:58
17 yeah what year is this 16-17
21:03
like so we we watched each other
21:07
you know grow up so it's like you can
21:09
trust somebody
21:10
we we've had experiences where it's like
21:13
i trust this person
21:15
and then kelani was supporting me
21:18
she i remember i
21:20
i performed at this like
21:22
this ski show in like vail colorado or
21:25
something like that and it was a photo
21:27
of me on stage and i posted it she
21:28
reposted that this woman right here and
21:30
i said wait a minute okay lonnie like
21:32
and this was years ago before anybody
21:34
knew like
21:36
my relationships
21:38
with art i don't have that many
21:39
relationships with like my peers or my
21:42
contemporaries the real ones that i have
21:44
were foraged years before this you know
21:47
what i'm saying
21:48
i also though i have a safe space i have
21:51
a really protective bubble i have really
21:53
good friends around me and i have a
21:55
really great team and i'm friends with
21:56
my team
21:57
and i realize that a lot of artists do
21:59
not have that same luxury you know or
22:03
that same pleasure
22:04
so i i realize i'm very fortunate you
22:07
know to to have this but i also feel
22:09
like i'm anti-social sometimes because
22:10
i'd be scared to call
22:12
famous people be trying to get in touch
22:13
with me and i'll be scared y'all i'll be
22:15
like i can't talk to them like i get
22:18
that terrified
22:21
yeah but no but but back to what j cole
22:23
was saying sorry i feel like i'm
22:24
rambling now but i do
22:28
i think the idea of competition is this
22:30
external thing right like
22:32
i feel like it's unfortunate that people
22:36
place that fear or that pressure on you
22:38
you're just doing your [ __ ] you're just
22:40
being an artist you're just like i'm
22:42
good at this or i was inspired by this
22:44
person but this is me and then the world
22:46
tells you there can only be one of this
22:48
person and you're trying to be that
22:49
person or you know and i've never ever
22:52
felt i've never ever let that leak into
22:55
my identity as a person so i've never
22:58
ever felt competitive of any person
23:00
because there's nobody like me and i
23:02
stand by that
23:03
god damn it okay
23:06
i know [ __ ]
23:15
you don't put the work in um
23:18
i'm curious to who you intimidated not
23:20
to call back to who's that who do you
23:22
respect that much
23:24
that much that that dmg you like nah i
23:26
can't even that's just too much here's
23:28
the thing i'm giving
23:30
i'm gonna tell you y'all
23:32
because i've been so i haven't even told
23:34
this artist yet so i'm so scared and i
23:37
actually need to call this person but
23:39
mariah carey
23:41
i am terrified
23:44
i she is a icon and a legend
23:47
and she she reached out to me and i was
23:50
like yes i'm going to call you and i've
23:51
been so scared to carry you yo
23:55
i get it though yeah i'm scared
23:59
hi
24:00
yeah start with hi
24:02
don't play with me i don't play with you
24:04
i i can't even i and i've worked with
24:07
missy i've worked with missy and even
24:09
when i was doing the missy tribute i
24:12
they were asking me questions about her
24:14
and they're like so when did you first
24:15
discover missy or how do you feel about
24:17
her i just started crying like bawling
24:19
like
24:20
these people are
24:23
mind you like yeah people look up to
24:25
celebrities and like rappers and singers
24:28
but like
24:29
as a as my identity my specific identity
24:32
black girl
24:34
growing up
24:35
in in houston didn't really have nobody
24:38
to look up to like that those few people
24:40
that i did have
24:42
meant more to me it's deeper than rap
24:44
it's bigger than music you know what i
24:46
mean it's representation
24:48
it's possibilities showing me that i can
24:51
too dot dot you know what i mean have
24:53
grammys be on the cover of magazines be
24:55
a star be whoever i want to be you know
24:57

24:59
to me so meeting them in the same
25:01

27:27
the beats have space for my vocals and
27:30
even doing like a pre-mix on my vocals
27:32
or knowing how to vocal produce me
27:34
finding
27:35
where my vocal fry is or where my belt
27:38
is
27:40

yeah you know what i'm saying yeah he
27:48
might he my musical husband a lot of it
