Nothing's off limits.

80.322 - 86.55 Brianna Stewart

We talk tanking. I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA.

Chapter 2: What memorable experience did Mal share about Aaliyah at the NBA All-Star Game?

392.88 - 413.939 Mal

I think she was 22 when she passed. Yeah. Yeah, man. So it was like, everybody was young, man. It was shit 24 years ago. That's crazy. But yeah, no, it was, it was definitely, um, a sad, like super, that was one of the more, uh, dark, sad moments I think I could remember.

0

414.12 - 436.45 Mal

Obviously when my brother passed is probably the most crushing thing ever, but Aaliyah's death, because it was so tragic and sudden and, you know, obviously, you know, it was just like, what? You know what I'm saying? She was so young. When you think about it, it was definitely one of the greatest times, but it was definitely a fun moment though, a fun moment in time.

0

436.47 - 448.955 Mal

Like those years was definitely a lot of fun, a lot of laughs, a lot of good memories. Um, but yeah, definitely some heartbreaking shit though. Just thinking about, cause I remember I thought I was, I wanted to talk about that last week.

0

448.975 - 457.584 Mal

I think when it was the anniversary and it just slipped my mind, but now thinking about it, talking about all-star weekend and Aaliyah definitely giving me a ticket, sneaking me in the all-star game.

0

457.945 - 488.633 Unknown

Yeah. I mean, I've always felt like, and it may sound like a crazy sentence, but I've always felt like Aaliyah is... the biggie of R&B. The time that she had here, the blueprint that was left for everyone, the current R&B, the way we talk about everyone now is fucking Dwayne, Chief Keef, the influences we talk about of how everyone makes music now. Her DNA is all over the new wave of R&B.

489.395 - 509.686 Unknown

I think it may be the most direct person to everything that R&B is now. Like from fashion to how she sung, to how she... constructed her actual records. To me, it's all Aaliyah. Every last bit of it is Aaliyah to me. The whole new wave of R&B, even on the male side, to me, is Aaliyah.

509.886 - 511.629 Rory

I would say Aaliyah and Brandy.

512.149 - 539.405 Unknown

Yeah, of course. But even with modern, even when traditional R&B sort of came back after Aaliyah's passing in the mid-2000s a bit, like with Keisha Cole, etc., the wave that came in from JhenƩ on... is all Aaliyah. Every last bit of that is Aaliyah from the attitude to the look to how you sing. Everything to me is Aaliyah. The funny thing, the time she had and the impact she made.

539.425 - 551.501 Mal

Mariah The Scientist reminds me of Aaliyah a lot. Yeah. I was listening to her album, listening to her music, her tone and everything. It gave me Aaliyah, that whole sound and that texture. It's very soft. Yeah.

Chapter 3: What are Rory's thoughts on stepfathers' last names for children?

2146.028 - 2151.276 Rory

I want to feel that bitch. I'm a boss feeling again. The niggas in Paris feeling like I haven't had that feeling in a while.

0

2151.256 - 2179.356 Mal

a connection to it because they lived through the time of yeah that's what I'm saying we can't go because it's like we would just be trying to get on board now and it's kind of like we're not going to understand it we need some time to really like I mean it sounds fire that shit looks like that sounds fire she delivered the fuck out of this too

0

2180.568 - 2185.657 Rory

I pause it and dodge before we get, um, which I'm gonna call it demonetized. But come on, man.

0

Chapter 4: What are the implications of co-parenting dynamics discussed in the episode?

2185.677 - 2188.021 Rory

How do you not? That shit sounds fire to me. I can't.

0

2188.141 - 2195.093 Unknown

I want to go with her. Yeah. Like I want to go with somebody that's going to like wrap those lyrics in my face. So I start to feel like, Oh, this is it.

0

2195.113 - 2208.393 Mal

This is close to your chest. Cause you know how I'm at shows. I'm just standing there literally just watching the artists perform. I'm not, You've been to me with Drake shows, you just standing there, and I know all these records.

0

2208.413 - 2225.25 Mal

I don't know all of these records, so I'm really going to be listening, standing there, watching Youngboy perform, and I can't go with somebody that knows, and they hyped, and they trying to get me. I'd be like, yo, bro, I don't even know what he's saying. Niggas going to be mosh-pitting you. Yeah, so it's fake if I go, because I don't even know these songs like that.

0

2225.29 - 2244.035 Mal

So some of them, I might know a couple of the bars. Like, okay, yeah, I remember that bar right there, but These people are, like you said, Rory, they grew up with this shit. They lived with this music. They couldn't wait for Youngboy to come to their city. Like they've been waiting for this moment for years. So now that it's here, I just think it's dope to see it.

2244.776 - 2259.286 Mal

And shout out to Youngboy, man, because, you know, being able to develop a fan base. Like this and all of these years of curating this sound for your audience and now being able to go to these cities and sell out these arenas is some dope shit. So salute NBA Youngboy, man.

2259.526 - 2270.645 Rory

I'm going to check it out. I feel like I've always judged him by the way he look. I mean, he look like every other... Yeah, I know. That's why I don't listen to them. If I met you, he look like who else?

2271.227 - 2273.531 Mal

A bunch of artists you listen to, it's the same look.

2273.691 - 2273.871 Rory

Who?
