SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay. All right, well, we're getting into the movie segment. Today's movie segment is brought to you by... Us and us only because we ain't got no sponsors. All right. Paris, what you been watching?

SPEAKER_01

I watched, I know it may seem like a movie. I believe it came out last year sometime. I ended up watching the Kevin Hart movie Fight Night. Oh, okay. Yeah, that had Kevin Hart and David Banner, Samuel L. Jackson, Terrence Howard, and, of course, my girl Taraji P. Henson. And it mainly was about when Ali came to Georgia to fight, his last fight. And, of course, Kevin, a.k.a. Chicken... The chicken man. Yeah. The chicken man. Chicken man wanted to get in on the big fight. And so he bit off more than he could chew for that particular one. And you have to really watch it because I don't want to give it away. But you have to really watch it to see what happened. Because if I tell it, then I'm going to give away all the spoiler alerts.

SPEAKER_02

You know, it was a true story.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it was based on a true story. Yeah. Yeah, it was.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, it's old. So I guess we could kind of say what it's about. It's about... A robbery. They had basically set up a...

SPEAKER_01

Did you see the whole thing? Yes, I did. Oh,

SPEAKER_02

okay. I thought I was letting a spoiler out or something.

SPEAKER_01

No, I watched the whole entire movie. But yeah, it was about a robbery that went wrong. Yeah. Terribly, terribly wrong. I liked

SPEAKER_02

that movie. It was... It was. What'd you give it? One out of five. I

SPEAKER_01

give it a four and a half. Four and a half? Yeah. Yeah. I give it a four. And that's because of the... big time actors that was in it that actually made the movie if it was a low budget movie then no but you had some big dogs in it

SPEAKER_02

yeah my favorite probably in that movie probably had to be Samuel L. Jackson

SPEAKER_01

yeah I liked him

SPEAKER_02

between him and what's his name Terrence Howard

SPEAKER_01

yeah they both played their roles nah I liked David Banner too Yeah. Because it brings back the old David Banner when he wrote Like a Pimp. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did like

SPEAKER_02

that. Yeah. Yeah, I liked that. That was one thing about that movie. I did like the characters.

SPEAKER_01

They were well played.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, they were. Well played. They were good. That was a good movie. Let's see what I'll watch. I went to the movies for the first time in a long time.

SPEAKER_01

The Seawood.

SPEAKER_02

Sinners.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you late. But yeah, that's a good one

SPEAKER_02

too. Did you see it?

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Did I? You saw it the first week?

SPEAKER_01

I watched it on one of those underground

SPEAKER_02

apps. That's the only reason I'm being late because I had to go to the movies

SPEAKER_01

and see it. Yeah, no, I didn't go

SPEAKER_02

to the movies and see it. It was good. I give it out of five, I give it a four. Nah, I'd give it a three. Nah, I'd give it a four.

SPEAKER_01

I'd give it a four. Don't belittle it. Did you understand it, though?

SPEAKER_02

Uh,

SPEAKER_01

yeah.

UNKNOWN

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Well, okay. Uh-uh. Nope, we ain't going there. We going there. No, we ain't going there.

SPEAKER_02

We going there. What's, all right, what's the, um, how can I say it? The symbolic parts of it.

SPEAKER_01

It's a lot of symbolic parts.

SPEAKER_02

I know. Tell me.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not going there. Why? Nope. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to leave that for the people. What do you mean for the people? That's... Uh-uh. Oh, my gosh.

SPEAKER_02

You know what button I just pressed.

SPEAKER_01

It's fine.

SPEAKER_02

So why you don't want to get into that?

SPEAKER_01

Because that's a lot.

SPEAKER_02

It don't have to be. I mean, you could just... Give me what you thought about it. Did you catch everything?

SPEAKER_01

I did. I did. I caught... Most of the symbolism. And that is a spiritual.

SPEAKER_02

It is. A spiritual end you call it. Yes. Okay. It was. All right. Tell me something about it. Like, I mean, I saw it. Yeah, I watched it. I didn't go on YouTube yet and see everybody talking about all their little.

SPEAKER_01

Well, like they say, what's done in the dark comes to light. You lay down with the devil, you wake up with the devil.

SPEAKER_02

Did you see the movie? It's a documentary. The Crossroads? No. With the blues player?

SPEAKER_01

No, I didn't watch that.

SPEAKER_02

What?

SPEAKER_01

I'll put that one on my

SPEAKER_02

list. Tonight. Okay. I'm telling you, this is... I'm

SPEAKER_01

gonna have to say that

SPEAKER_02

for the weekend. It's supposed to be a true story. I mean, because it's a documentary. It's not... They did make a movie about it, but...

SPEAKER_01

It's not the same.

SPEAKER_02

No, it's not the same. It's the same, but it's not the same. What's his name? Ralph Macchio from The Karate Kid played a guitar player. And he battles the devil.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, just like Jimi Hendrix did.

SPEAKER_02

He did? Mm-hmm. Hmm. Okay. So what... So, all right, so you need to see the documentary because they say he went down to the crossroads. You from the country, you know the crossroads story. And he made a deal with the devil. Came back a blues player.

SPEAKER_01

Yep.

SPEAKER_02

Real good and... All that. So you know all this.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. There's a lot of deals being made with the devil. All right, Miss Papa Shango. Are we not going there?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so that was the movie I seen. I give it a four. The only reason I give it a four is because the two, they didn't have to do the fake twins thing. They could have gave that role to somebody else.

SPEAKER_01

No, it wouldn't have been the same.

SPEAKER_02

It would have. What, a spiritual

SPEAKER_01

something? From a spiritual aspect, you have two sides of you. And by him playing both sides of himself, it gave a deeper... look into it if you would have got someone else then it would have just been one person playing one person another person playing another person but when you're able to do double roles to show both sides that's within you then it's more understandable because we would have probably looked at it as oh we got the bad guy the good guy but he showed the good in one side and the bad in one side and the good in the other side and the bad in the other side as well

SPEAKER_02

so you think they did it on purpose

SPEAKER_01

yeah

SPEAKER_02

So didn't they have somebody else that was supposed to play the other part, the other role?

SPEAKER_01

I thought it was for the girl.

SPEAKER_02

Oh,

SPEAKER_01

I don't

SPEAKER_02

know.

SPEAKER_01

From what I was reading, they asked somebody else to play that role for the girl. Oh,

SPEAKER_02

okay. Which girl? The

SPEAKER_01

main girl in the movie.

SPEAKER_02

The girl or the... Not the...

SPEAKER_01

Not the wife.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Because remember, one of them was married, not the wife, but the... The girl that... That turned into the vampire that bit him.

SPEAKER_02

The cousin liked that girl.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I guess you could say the cousin liked, but yeah. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Because she was attracted to him. He wasn't paying her any... She came on...

SPEAKER_02

You crazy. He liked him too. He the one that came up to her at the bus.

SPEAKER_01

Mm-hmm. No.

SPEAKER_02

And said, don't I know you from somewhere?

SPEAKER_01

She came up to them because remember she was screaming and hollering because he was back in town when she was looking for him at the train station when they were out there playing.

SPEAKER_02

I thought the girl that I'm thinking of stood off to the back. I didn't think she said anything.

SPEAKER_01

She did. She was the one that was looking for him because he had already previously saw her and just walked out on her. Okay. And then she found them again and made a ruckus. And then once she came to the club, the cousin recognized her from making all that noise when they were sitting at the train station. What noise was she making? When she was calling him. Well, I call it noise, but she was trying to get his attention for leaving her. Okay. And then, of course, you know, the cousin saw her. at the club and knew that she was an issue and was trying to get her out of the club before he saw her. But it was already too late.

SPEAKER_02

Alright, I guess so. I mean, I'm going to go with that since you don't want to tell us any more of the spiritual part of it.

SPEAKER_01

I did. You told me. It was good versus evil. That's what it was. You only can pick one or the other. So what was the good

SPEAKER_02

versus the evil? Was it the two brothers or it was the white people and the black people?

SPEAKER_01

You can put all of that into, because each one had its good and each one had its bad. Like take the cousin, for instance. The father was a pastor, so of course he considered that blues music as the devil's music, which... But anyway, we're not going to take that route. He considered that to be the devil's music, and by him being a pastor's child, he knew better. He knew that that wasn't the road that he should have taken, but he took it anyway with his dad telling him not to take that road. What's going to happen?

SPEAKER_02

That's what they all said back in the day, though. It was the devil's music.

SPEAKER_01

Well, and you saw what happened. Like, he actually... Play music for the devil. Like he invited the devil into

SPEAKER_02

his

SPEAKER_01

space. I guess so. I guess you're right. Because the devil can't come in unless you invite him.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay. Well, thank you for letting us know that because I was pulling it out of your book for a second there. But I did like it. And I will, I guess, do my YouTube thing. Review on it. Reviews, because, you know, everybody's going to say, oh, this meant this, and that meant this. So, we're going to check it out.

SPEAKER_01

I'm going to check it out. Tell them

SPEAKER_02

how you look at it. I did read that they're not coming out with a sequel.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Ryan, it wasn't.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. That came out this week, that they're not coming out with a sequel.

SPEAKER_01

That's a good thing. That one, base in its glory. You think so? Yeah. Because when you do too many sequels to movies, it kind of make it kind of watered down. Because if you come hard with the first one, you know you got to come extra hard with the second one. And most of the times when they do sequels, the sequel don't be as hard as the first one. It's like, they could have kept that. Yeah, that's what she said. That's

SPEAKER_02

what she said. Yeah. Yep, so that was my movie of the week. And I guess we get on to this nice R&B session we about to have here. Because I know you got some old school on there.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. You want to start? I'm an old head. I'm a very old head. You're right. You are an old head. Yeah. I'll take the ride first. Go old head. Go old head. No, now. What? We ain't about to let you do that. I'm an old head when it comes to music. I ain't letting you do that now.

SPEAKER_02

Go ahead. Start it out there.

SPEAKER_01

So for my first one, and it's not in order, but this is just the way that I named them. I have Drew Hill, and my song from them was Beauty. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I like that song. You was about to try to water it down. No, I was just thinking, to me, I was just thinking if they had a better song and that might be one of my favorite ones from them also.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I like that one. My next one was Jagged Edge, Let's Get Married. Wait, you going to go down your list or something? You want me to go down my list?

SPEAKER_02

Definitely don't say Jagged Edge because that's mine.

SPEAKER_01

I mean... I'm saying

SPEAKER_02

Jagged Edge

SPEAKER_01

is... But I picked Let's Get Married because the original version was A+, but then when he teamed up and did the remix... So, listen.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I just listened to a podcast interview with Jermaine Dupri. And I think he... I think Jermaine Dupri made... Oh, man. What song was it? Drew Hill?

UNKNOWN

Boom.

SPEAKER_02

They got sleeping in my bed. Oh. And I think JD made like a remix to that. But either way, Jagged Edge was mad. Like mad at him. Like, why'd you give that song to them and this and that? So when Jermaine Dupri finally came up with this song, that's at the beginning. At the beginning of the song where he's saying, ah, ha. Uh-huh. He's saying that to them, like, ha, I got one for y'all. So he explained that in the interview, which was, it was cool, because a lot of producers, they don't remember exactly what was going on. And for him to remember exactly what was going on. Yeah, so.

SPEAKER_01

But I don't think the, Jackie Edge can sing Don't Get Me Wrong. Uh-huh. but the vocals that was in Beauty, it fit Drew Hill. I can't imagine another group actually singing that song. I mean, I just, I can't see it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, some songs are like that. And it wasn't Beauty. It was Sleeping in My Bed, I think, remix.

SPEAKER_01

Well, even with Sleeping in My Bed, it's like Sisqo's voice within itself. Yeah. Of course, he was the lead singer, but Woody and Jazz can hold notes, too. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But do you listen to Woody and Jazz or you listen to... Cisco.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, because on some of the songs, they had solos as well. So that's how you knew that they could hold their notes. So I still don't see Jagged Edge singing Sleeping in My Bed. It's just like that song was made for Drew Hill and the vocals that Drew Hill came with.

SPEAKER_02

No, I didn't say he made it for him, but that was one of the things that J.D. was talking about.

SPEAKER_01

Well, yeah. I'm just saying this. If J.D. would have given it to Jagged Edge, I don't think that song would have hit as hard as it hit with Drew Hill did it because it's like the vocals. Like I said, both groups have vocals. They both can sing, but it's like the vocals with Drew Hill, the ranges of them are way higher on some of them than with

SPEAKER_02

Jagged Edge. So you think Drew Hill could sing better than...

SPEAKER_01

I didn't say sing better. I just said the vocal levels.

SPEAKER_02

Which one do you think

SPEAKER_01

sings better? No, we're not doing the same better because they both got hit songs that each group wouldn't have been able to pull off because of their vocals.

SPEAKER_02

I got you. I hear you. Well, we're going to get into mine.

SPEAKER_01

Cool.

SPEAKER_02

And mine is, I'm going to say Jagged Edge now because, well, either way, it's not the same one. It's not Let's Get Married.

SPEAKER_03

Which one you

SPEAKER_02

got? He Can't Love You. And I think that was on the first album. J.E., I think might have been the name of it. That was, to me, anytime it comes on now, I can still listen to it. I'm sure you can. I can still listen to that one. Well, go ahead. What else you got? Give me another

SPEAKER_01

one. Boys to Men, Bend It Knee. A classic. Yeah, that's

SPEAKER_02

definitely a classic. And when it came out, that was like, A big song. They still play that in slow songs and stuff like that, movies and everything like that. Okay, I'll give you that one. Well, my next one is Changing Faces. Oh, yeah. Stroke you up. Yep. I mean, I'm not going to say minus to R. Kelly because it probably wouldn't be a Changing Faces without R. Kelly. Right.

SPEAKER_01

Can't erase that man. Yeah,

SPEAKER_02

man, you definitely

SPEAKER_01

can. I'm not going to erase

SPEAKER_02

him. I mean. You still listen to it, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Look at all of what he's put here.

SPEAKER_02

Catalog is crazy.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, regardless of his personal life, his music life is something different.

SPEAKER_02

And that's like for any artist or any movie

SPEAKER_01

star. You might as well erase them all.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01

Erase all of

SPEAKER_02

them. Yeah, because all of them got a dark side.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I mean, Skeleton's chasing them all around the room.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah. Yeah, so Change Your Face is my next one. What you got?

SPEAKER_01

My next one, I went old school, old school. I have the Manhattan's Let's Just Kiss and Say Goodbye.

SPEAKER_02

Is that a slow song? It is. I can't remember it off the top

SPEAKER_01

of my head. Yes, it's very slow.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah? Okay, so it's like a ballad.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. All right, okay.

SPEAKER_02

The Manhattans.

SPEAKER_01

Yep, the Manhattans.

SPEAKER_02

All right, so let me see if I can dig in my pouch here and give me an old school. My old school, my next one's going to be the OJs.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Backstabbers.

SPEAKER_01

Wow. Of course. You picked that one. Of all the OJ songs, you picked that

SPEAKER_02

one. Probably because I guess it's so famous because of

SPEAKER_01

the Jill Scott. Yeah, and it's played in a lot of movies, too.

SPEAKER_02

But are they playing the whole song, or are they playing just that beat?

SPEAKER_01

The beat and I guess it's sampled. Do they

SPEAKER_02

get up to the part where they're singing it?

SPEAKER_01

Now that part I haven't paid attention. Yes, I

SPEAKER_02

think it's, well, you know, nah, they probably do backstabbers because backstabbers is a famous term. Yeah, you might be right. Yep. So that's my OJs, backstabbers. That's my next one. What you got?

SPEAKER_01

Earth, Wind& Fire. Reasons? Nope.

SPEAKER_02

What is it?

SPEAKER_01

September. Okay, the cookout song. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

That's the

SPEAKER_01

cookout song. Everybody knew Reasons. I mean, Philip Bailey just.

SPEAKER_02

You know, I really didn't realize that Earth, Wind& Fire sang Reasons. I thought it was somebody else.

SPEAKER_01

No, that was them.

SPEAKER_02

But once I got older, I realized who it was. All right. I don't have too many old schools like that, but I'll go with this new edition. Can You Stand the Rain? So now everybody's seen the movie or the docuseries. Right. Everybody loves that song now because it's like they remade it almost because they're singing it so good. What's the guy's name?

SPEAKER_01

Which one?

SPEAKER_02

The dark-skinned guy.

SPEAKER_01

Johnny Gill?

SPEAKER_02

He's supposed to have been Johnny Gill?

SPEAKER_01

Ralph?

SPEAKER_02

No, he's supposed to have been Johnny Gill. Oh, I don't know the actor. Luke... James.

SPEAKER_01

Luke James? I don't know. Okay. Don't get me on that one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, since he sang that, everybody goes crazy over that song. Yeah, nah.

SPEAKER_01

Yep, yep. All right, what you got? The Ohio Players.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Fire.

SPEAKER_02

Fire?

UNKNOWN

Fire?

SPEAKER_02

Fire. That's

SPEAKER_01

it?

SPEAKER_02

That one? That's another cookout song. Another cookout song. It'll get you where you need to be. I'll tell you one thing. That's the difference between R&B groups then and R&B groups now. R&B groups then, you could say the name of the group And come up with a song. Yep. Now, these niggas ain't even got names no more. They got letters and initials or something. And you couldn't, like, you can't come up with, let's see, R&B group now. Are they R&B groups now? I don't know. I don't know what you're calling them. Oh, there aren't any.

SPEAKER_01

Are they? You seem like everybody rapping to me. There's

SPEAKER_02

no

SPEAKER_01

groups out. Not that I

SPEAKER_02

know of. There's got to be a group.

SPEAKER_01

Name one.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, wow. It got to be a group.

SPEAKER_01

Name one. You said it got to be.

SPEAKER_02

Name one. I can't think of one. I can't think of a group that's out now. Dang, that's crazy that I'm thinking about that now. So if you do think of a group that's out now, please send us an email at the Digital Studios Podcast at I guess we're going to talk about it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, not your cousin them, nah. Not your cousin them that sang in the backyard. The one that's on the gospel choir singing for the church. Yep. Not them.

SPEAKER_02

Dang, I can't think of one. I'm still thinking of one. Like, sitting here like, what about this?

SPEAKER_01

But let me know when you find out.

SPEAKER_02

Dad, that's crazy. Well, I got another one. What? Floatry.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I love them

SPEAKER_02

girls. Are they? Is that on your list?

SPEAKER_01

No, they weren't. That's the one I love. But I love them. Yeah. Which one? All you got to do is say yes. Nope. Which one? Getting late. We're getting late.

UNKNOWN

Dang.

SPEAKER_02

Who is that? Marsha and... How do you say her name? Go

SPEAKER_01

ahead. Marsha Ambrose.

SPEAKER_02

There you go. She kills it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

She kills it. Like she... It don't even have to be a group no more the way she kills it.

SPEAKER_01

But the two of them together was different because you got one singing and one doing poetry over the music while she sang like... That's the talent within itself.

SPEAKER_02

So that's what the difference was. Yeah. Oh, okay. I thought there was just like another singing

SPEAKER_01

group. No. I never realized that. No, Marsha would be singing and the other girl, you know, she would be doing more of the talking. Yeah. But Marsha's still singing and she's talking. You think they're lesbians? They sexual preference ain't got nothing to do with they

SPEAKER_02

music. No, I'm just saying they vibe is like lesbian-ish.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think so. Don't Marsha has a daughter?

SPEAKER_02

So you can't be a lesbian no more?

SPEAKER_01

I mean, but what does that have to do with anything? Because

SPEAKER_02

the poetry part, that's real lesbian-ish.

SPEAKER_01

It is not. You know how many poetry places they have?

SPEAKER_02

No, I'm talking about the song. What's that one with the bald head that sing like that? I

SPEAKER_01

don't know. I don't know who you're talking about now.

SPEAKER_02

Well, they all...

SPEAKER_01

They all nothing. You're not about to clump them two ladies into that.

SPEAKER_02

I'm

SPEAKER_01

sorry, ladies. He's sick.

SPEAKER_02

No, I was just thinking.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, well, don't think that way.

SPEAKER_02

Whose turn is it? It's your turn. You done went twice. I did flow a tree. I did flow a

SPEAKER_03

tree.

SPEAKER_01

I have the Commodores. What? What song? Brick House. Come on. Yeah. That's R&B. That is R&B. You know what? Rhythm and blues.

SPEAKER_02

It's definitely R&B. The only thing I... I'm tired of some of them songs. Oh, God. I am. Why? Why would you be tired of that? They've been playing them since I was a kid.

SPEAKER_01

That means they're hits. You don't want them to go away. Brick House will never go away. You know why? Because when Brick House came out, all the women that was in that era that was old enough thought there was a Brick House. Hell, my mama to this day still thinks she a Brick House. Is she? I mean, she all right. She ain't turned into no schoolhouse or no church house. So I guess she can get the brick house then. But back then, them ladies, they was fine now. Yeah,

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. I get tired of certain songs. Like a lot of songs from the 90s that I used to hear all the time and stuff like that, I don't like them anymore. Oh, gosh. For some reason. I'm not saying I don't like that song that you sang, but I'm just saying. Yeah, that'll never get old.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, you can play that right now.

SPEAKER_02

And somebody's

SPEAKER_01

doing this. Your grandma now going to start moving to that with her walker cane or whatever because she still makes you break out.

SPEAKER_02

Ageless,

SPEAKER_01

ageless music. Yes, that's a song that will never go away. Okay. All right. Never.

SPEAKER_02

Let's see what else I got over here.

SPEAKER_01

Come on with it. Come on with it. I

SPEAKER_02

got Jodeci.

SPEAKER_01

Which one? Fina. Fina.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. The remix. I like the remix, but Jodeci got so many songs. They do. No, not the first album. Diary of a Mad Ben is the second album, I think. The second album, third album, and the fourth album are crazy. I can

SPEAKER_01

still listen to them. I got some honorable mentions after I finish my list.

SPEAKER_02

You do? Yeah. Is Jodeci on it? No. What?

SPEAKER_01

You done already took it.

SPEAKER_02
