We at All About the Joy are serving you a smorgasbord of discussions that range from the hilarity of I Love Lucy to the contrasting musical styles of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. 

Which artist gives you the chills - Tupac or Biggie? Hold that thought as we dissect the magic of their music, delving into the iconic hip-hop scene. Lest we forget, we also share our love for BB and CeCe Winans, DC Talk, and Audio Adrenaline. Fancy a spot of debate? We've got you covered as we put Taylor Swift and Beyoncé under the spotlight, analyze the evolution of Rick's musical tastes and tackle a provocative question - why do individuals lie about their skincare routines?

But, the fun doesn't stop there. We address the elephant in the room - ageism in society, and the role TikTok plays in the success of artists today. We wrap up with a lively discussion about our favorite hip-hop artists, the impact of physical appearances, and the all-important question - Tupac or Biggie.

Carmen :

I know. Hi everyone. Welcome to all about the joy. I'm so glad you're here. Tony D is in the house. Rick Costa hello. You know. One of the things I realize I forget all the time is I like this is the second time I forget to introduce people. So every time the podcast starts it's just like people, because I just assume everybody knows who we are.

Tony D.:

So I know they should agree.

Carmen :

By now. Yeah, and I'm also working on a second part of the website where I'm going to put little it could. I don't know if you've seen it, tony, but your pictures up on the website, so I'm going to put little bios for everyone.

Rick:

Wow.

Carmen :

You didn't see the website.

Tony D.:

The website last week. I'm just messing with you no, right?

Carmen :

So I'm everybody who's been on the show and, like today, I changed your picture because I had that I know I want. Everybody has a smiley picture and your pictures like gangster or something I don't know, like pretend gangsters.

Tony D.:

I just think that from a deployment on that picture. That's why I was.

Carmen :

No, it's a great picture, but it didn't go with the flow, so I changed it all out today and fixed it so, and there's a smiley picture. It's the one I used on this poster, or?

Tony D.:

whatever, it's a little crazy. That's me acting up.

Carmen :

Thank you, no no, no, it was okay. So here's the thing the background that you have, which I appreciate, because, if people don't know, you need to be rested before you go driving, and Tony has a story about that that he's told multiple times and he can tell it again on this show. So I appreciate it. But what happens is I can't get a clear picture of you because it it like like it phases out the back of your head.

Tony D.:

Rick, I want you to remember one minute 45 seconds. She got a clear shot right now.

Carmen :

Okay, but right now.

Rick:

Okay, and then the fuzziness keeps coming in.

Carmen :

And then your hand and like. So I was looking at a whole bunch of them and no, we don't want a saccata. That face, no, okay, wait, smile, dude, we want smiley face. Okay, so you're going to make me redo the whole thing, but still it's flashing in and out. Dude, it's okay, though I like the background, it's not a big deal. So, yeah, so we put you up there with a smiley face. Okay, you know what I'm done, rick, how you doing? Let's just avoid Tony right now.

Rick:

How was your day?

Carmen :

Doing good.

Rick:

Doing good. It's not too bad, it's pretty good so you had a good day.

Carmen :

I was worried about you because usually when I send you a DM I get a message like within an hour like haha or something. So I got worried about you and I had to go on your show to see if you were okay. You didn't respond for like six hours.

Rick:

I emailed you after you said that and then I was like I'm getting old because I could have sworn. I wrote you back.

Carmen :

That you emailed me back.

Rick:

Yeah, I really thought again.

Carmen :

It's okay. I was just having issues that I was like all feeling panicked, so okay, the other thing I want to do is update you on a couple of things I watched. I love Lucy. I watched like three episodes. I know the first three.

Rick:

Honey meds.

Carmen :

Well, unlike Andrea, I did you know. I'm willing to be open and think about it. I was cracking up because I didn't know that Ricky Ricardo I mean I knew he was Latino, I didn't know he played a Latino on the show. You know what I mean.

Carmen :

Like I thought you know, like Martin Sheehan, or as you say, martin Sheen thought he was kind of pretending he was, you know, not Latino because he's Cuban, but yeah, I thought it was. You know, I can see why it works, I can see why it's funny and I understand it's a little bit dated but it still holds up. It's not my thing. Like I'm not going to watch it.

Tony D.:

The reason why you don't enjoy it now is because it's dated.

Carmen :

It actually held up pretty well, especially the first episode, which is the pilot, where they're pretending to be the dates. I don't know if you guys remember what the first episode is, but season one, episode one I forget what the name of it is, but they were celebrating the neighbors I don't forget the neighbors names anniversary or something. Ethel and the husband seems very cranky and they want to go to the Copacabana, but the guys want to go to the fight or something, and then so they pretend to be these awkward ugly girls. You know, I mean I get why it's funny and the comedic timing which I know you all know is off the hook. I mean it's pretty amazing, but it's just not my thing and it wouldn't have been back then either.

Rick:

It's just, you know, when he goes off on her in Spanish, though it's hilarious, but he starts singing in Spanish.

Carmen :

I was shocked by that that he was singing in.

Tony D.:

Spanish oh yeah, Back then that was the main comedy, that kind of comedy, honeymooners, everybody. I enjoyed the reruns as a kid.

Carmen :

I don't remember seeing the reruns as a kid. Cool, I'm very happy that I sat through that, but I won't be watching anymore. But it was good. It was good. It was. It's a little too cheeky.

Tony D.:

They'll get redundant. After a few episodes, the comedy remained the same the honeymooners did the same thing.

Carmen :

Yeah, it's kind of like when when I was thinking about like comedians of today that kind of give me that same vibe. I really was thinking about kind of like Jim Carrey. I mean he's funny, it's just a little too cheeky for me, yeah, so anyways, I just wanted to say and Andrea, I hope, is listening in because she needs to watch ET and a field of dreams because I went out there the other update I want to give really quickly, I think everyone knows, is that Drew Barrymore did decide to stop airing her show, so all of the protesting and all of the ganging up on her for doing the wrong thing worked. Well, we are going to talk about music today. Well, not all day, but I just had a couple of questions. But do you guys anything to add about? I don't think you guys care about Drew Barrymore at all, but like I think did somebody else also.

Carmen :

They were going to start up again and they decided Jennifer Hudson did not do her show, and then Sherry got COVID, so she's not doing her show but, I, don't know, what that's about. So, but yeah, okay, cool, Okay. So I've introduced you guys, I've done the update on Drew. Let's talk about music. Here's why I want to bring this up. I don't want to talk about Beyonce and Taylor Swift so much, but have you especially Tony, because I know your way into music right, you love DJing. Is it okay to say DJ?

Tony D.:

Video diss Jackie and I like video music.

Carmen :

Video diss Jackie. Video diss Jackie. Okay, so Taylor Swift and Beyonce this weird. I think it's the media trying to compare them and pick them up against each other, because I would have never in all my life compared these two people, ever at all. And the weird thing is, is Gen Z ain't having it?

Tony D.:

They're not even jumping in the game, you know they're two different genres but they're two of the biggest female musical artists out there, so I give them that, but I doubt if they even got to issue with each other that we know of.

Carmen :

I don't think they don't even compete. As far as concerns Rick, what do you think?

Rick:

I mean as little as I know about them, because you know I'm a whole different type of thing, but it's like apples and oranges.

Carmen :

It's just a whole different type of thing. That's what you said.

Rick:

That's what you said, because I'm in the Christian realm.

Carmen :

You are Okay, you know what you have got to. Stop that you listen to all the same music. You sent me a list of 80s and 90s music that was back then to improve and grow upon himself.

Tony D.:

That was the past.

Carmen :

Okay, okay.

Tony D.:

Okay.

Rick:

And then I'm a real Rick. Back then it was different.

Carmen :

Are you spirits? You don't listen to any music from today.

Rick:

I don't listen to barely music of anybody. I'm asleep right now.

Carmen :

Okay, really.

Rick:

Very different than I used to be.

Carmen :

Yeah, All right, well, we'll just take you off the show, because this is going to be a whole thing about music today, so I don't have enough vision though. Do you know who?

Rick:

Beyonce, but I mean the little I know about them is they're two completely different genres, two different ways of performing. They're just totally different. So I don't even know why anybody's comparing them in the first place.

Carmen :

Yeah. I think it's a weird thing. Okay, anthony said the only reason they are being compared is because at one time, taylor Swift started out as a country artist. Yeah, that I remember. I like them both. I just think it's like. It's like trying to compare, I don't know. Like Aretha Franklin and Dolly Parton, why would you bother? There's no like. People can be great in their own thing of Majiggy. Like there's, there's no need to put them together.

Tony D.:

What Thing of Majiggy.

Carmen :

Thing of Majiggy You've never, heard of that, of course.

Tony D.:

I have Thing of Majiggy is what you're gonna call us. All of that, yes.

Carmen :

What you're gonna call me, and I'm peachy. What's just in a mood today because I just finished watching. I love Lucy, so I'm thinking old school language. Yeah, that's show. I don't know I get why it was popular, but it's still in my head Like I was kind of annoyed watching it.

Rick:

Should have. Let us tell you which ones to watch.

Carmen :

No, I'm not going to watch anymore. I've seen all the clips of like somebody sent me the chocolate, when they're working in the factory and oh, this is a hilarious clip. Here's the thing. It's one of those things that I think you had to see before. Everybody saw it and talked about it, because I think that is a stupid scene and it don't make me laugh at all, and you already know what's going to happen and you know what I mean. So I bring too much to the table.

Tony D.:

You are and you're bringing a lot of. Take that as stress relief comedy. Take a bad day and just wanna see somebody be crazy. That's how you enjoy it.

Carmen :

Okay. So here's what I'm gonna. Okay, we gonna. For Rick's sake, we're gonna move off of the music. Here's the thing Slapstick comedy like that stresses me out. It doesn't bring me happiness and joy.

Tony D.:

That does not make me happy. I'm curious about that. That's an interesting topic. Why does that stress you out?

Carmen :

Because it's not what I like. Do you like every genre of television? Or like do you love horror? Do you love okay, so? If somebody says to you you have to watch it or you must watch it. It'll help you feel better or it'll make you laugh or it'll make you cry. What happens you going in your leg doesn't gonna make me cry.

Tony D.:

I want you to remember something, okay. Oh okay, and I'm gonna tell you this, this is one topic I wanted to bring up. I actually had a bad day the other day because, look at, Anthony, what's wrong with you, carmen? Because I'm at work and this song was in my head and I actually got very mad at Rick. How, oh, okay.

Carmen :

I got very mad at Rick. Give us the T, go ahead.

Tony D.:

Because I'm at work and for some reason I'm just sitting here. Boop ah, boop ah.

Carmen :

Oh Lord no.

Rick:

I really can't probably just dead it's ah, ah ah, ah, yep.

Carmen :

No, this is not gonna be a clip this time.

Tony D.:

And then the clip came up and I'm sitting here laughing and you were like, no, we don't seem to clip.

Carmen :

Right, I mean, that was. The funny part was that he was a dork and we both were like no, no, no.

Tony D.:

No, oh gosh, that was funny. Okay, yeah, but the comedy back then everything was about having fun, acting up and mishaps. Right now, a lot of comedy today is low down, dirty and embarrassing.

Carmen :

I don't know, it's okay, I disagree with you because no problem, look it back in the day like and it's not the I love Lucy back in the day like that's the other thing too. It's hard for me to associate things that I didn't deal with growing up. Anthony just said I hate horror, but I do appreciate it because it's a form of storytelling, so I can appreciate it. For that I can appreciate it, but I don't wanna watch horror Like I've never watched horror.

Tony D.:

Well, I'll deal with you later.

Carmen :

Not weird. Yeah, I'm pulling, but here's my thing. I think I love Lucy is a classic and I can respect it or whatever, but I remember watching things like what was it dynamite? What was that show with JJ?

Tony D.:

Good times, good times.

Carmen :

Or the Jepperson's. I loved the Jepperson's and you could kind of say there was something kind of slap sticky about George Jefferson, and you know what I mean. That kind of got you a funny laugh track, comedic thing.

Tony D.:

Those were very heartbreaking comedies because they pushed the envelope, if you will.

Carmen :

Right, but I can watch those because I remember them and I can relate to them, I think so. I was watching these, especially when I watched the third one. I was trying to figure out. Okay, seriously, I can see why it's funny. I understand why it works. Why doesn't it work for me? Besides that, it's not my thing.

Tony D.:

Yes, I'm doing, anthony, oh my.

Carmen :

Wait, did Anthony just say what I think he's saying?

Rick:

Yes, he did.

Carmen :

Now.

Rick:

I know if.

Carmen :

I ever meet Carmen in person, I'll throw a pie in her face, is that?

Tony D.:

a.

Carmen :

Lucy. Thing.

Tony D.:

Yes, it is.

Carmen :

Yeah right.

Tony D.:

I was close. Okay, go ahead. I love that Anthony's drinking. You won't be doing that.

Carmen :

Anthony, because you know you are allowed to dream on my show. You know, to dream that you would meet me and be able to throw anything in my face. Wow, it wouldn't be the first time, by the way, that somebody wants to throw something in my face. Yeah.

Tony D.:

I mean you do.

Carmen :

You know I can't help it, but I assume it's because it's a comedic thing. But yeah, it's just not my genre. I think that's okay, you know. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the show. There's a lot of other shows on TV now that I don't watch either, because I just don't think they're funny.

Tony D.:

We were all limited to what we had back then. That's why everybody knows us. That's very limited television back then, very limited. It was before you were born.

Carmen :

Why do you guys keep talking like?

Tony D.:

you were there Because I remember a really good story very much 40 years ago.

Carmen :

No, no, wait, wait. I'm talking about when you said I love Lucy. I love Lucy. Wasn't that in the 50s? Okay, you guys are not old.

Tony D.:

It was in the 50s and 60s but, mind you, before cable, a lot of us who didn't have cable, we had a three major networks. Pbs did another independent station, so you only have five channels. Now, if you didn't watch those on the other channels, you did watch what was gonna be the most entertaining, on the funniest, and back then it was I love Lucy, it was all in the family, it was.

Carmen :

I watched all in the family. I know that I loved.

Tony D.:

The honeymoon is all there. Yeah, we had. Take yourself to the mentality of television without cable and the only options you had.

Carmen :

How old do you think I am? I was born. I didn't have cable. Growing up we had three channels. You're like take the mentality out. That's like well, let me see, I don't even remember when we had pagers. You had pagers like I'm not that young, you had pagers in the 90s. I think I am older than both of you. By the way, I'm cuter than both of you, but I think I'm older than both of you. I just wanna be LinkedIn user. I think it's still Robert said back then the remote control was your strength.

Tony D.:

You had the antennas with the aluminum foil like this. You had the remote to watch the show. Make sure you had a good day. I did all of that. Yes, you leave it too much.

Carmen :

I do remember having to get up and change the channel and we used to watch you. What was it? The UH?

Rick:

UHF channels.

Carmen :

UHF channels, because that's where all the cartoons were. Yes, Tony. So are you feeling a little bit better than from earlier, from 20 minutes ago? A little bit.

Tony D.:

I'm here. I'm here, I'm trying to behave.

Carmen :

You don't have to behave. Go ahead, let loose Do your thing. Go ahead, let loose Screaming yeah To the gender.

Tony D.:

next question number two.

Carmen :

Let it out. Let it out. Okay, well, I'm gonna get away from the. I was gonna talk about music, but you know Rick is all in his Christian stuff.

Tony D.:

Rick knows music, Don't Rick?

Carmen :

is my watcher? He's my question.

Tony D.:

I've been on music broadcasts for the past two years. He knows his music. Let's go.

Carmen :

Okay. So here's my question If I say boy band, you say man. Thank you, Rick, for that very conclusive and in-depth analysis of boy bands.

Tony D.:

Gonna be new kids on the block.

Carmen :

Now see, I thought boys to men. Why would you think new kids?

Tony D.:

on the block. They weren't it started.

Carmen :

How about new addition? How?

Tony D.:

about. New addition was a boy band. I sold them as a group and now a band. You said band. I'm like okay, instruments and all that, like everybody, but New kids on the block and hey Kevin.

Carmen :

New addition were at the same exact time, hey, kevin.

Tony D.:

They were.

Carmen :

I'm bringing it up because everyone's making a big deal about NSYNC and they're reunion tour.

Tony D.:

Yes, they're reunion tour, but they came out way before new kids on the block. They really did come out before new kids on the block and they came after the Jackson 5.

Rick:

And all that To me, boy bands Boy bands is not just the singing, but they're performing and they're dancing and they got choreography where boys to men wasn't so much on that, it was more singing.

Carmen :

Look at you guys defining what a boy band is yeah. Like okay, the official knowledge that you can't say new kids on the block, On the block. New kids on the block and then say that they're a boy band. But new addition, wasn't? They were exactly the same at the same time. Here's why I know they're both from Boston and they came out at the same time.

Tony D.:

New addition came out way before them. New addition came out way before them.

Carmen :

They were competing with each other at the same time. It doesn't matter who came out first. They were at one point neck and neck because they were in. Boston and there was like a feud, who liked who more or whatever. You know what I mean.

Tony D.:

They knew this one about five years ago.

Carmen :

Look at you.

Rick:

I know I brought them up last time.

Carmen :

I've been there with all.

Rick:

That's so crazy, ricky Martin.

Tony D.:

Now, Ted, that's a good one. I forgot about my noodle. I'm going to give you that. I'm going to give you that yeah, no.

Carmen :

So I look at I, none of these matter to me actually at all. I'm just curious because everyone is making a big deal about in sync and I was like on TikTok, it's all over the place because I guess they're getting together and they're going to have a reunion tour. Yes, yeah, I don't know how I feel about all those, but you know I appreciate everyone's going to go and buy their tickets.

Tony D.:

They have a very huge fan base. They'll make money.

Carmen :

The Jackson five, I think, is the deal that that would be. That would have been incredible. Yeah, you know. Yeah, ok, more questions. Let's see you guys really are not fun at all, you're we are too. Your level is way too down for me. Yeah, I need more energy people. Let's start over. Let's start over. Ok, what is your favorite genre of music and why? Good Amric, do not just talk about Christian music. You can say it.

Rick:

It says genre, there's genre covers everything.

Carmen :

Wait, linkedin user is asking me Carmen Dang, how old are you? You remember a lot. Look like 30. Thank you.

Rick:

Oh, at first I was like offended, but then he said 30s, I was like, oh, you made a point, thank you.

Carmen :

Thank you. Let me give a shout out to Botox. Thank you. Wow, Good skincare and working out which.

Tony D.:

I'm not really doing that much. Exercise definitely, exercise and rest definitely.

Carmen :

Exercise, definitely, but exercising your inner spirit. I don't know about 30s, but I appreciate you for saying but, thank you. But 30s is pushing a little bit. But yeah, I'm in my 50s, I'm in my 50s, I'm embracing the 50s, so but yeah, people get all offended now, like someone called me the other day and they were like, do you always have to talk about Botox? And I'm like you know why? Cause I'm sick and tired of people lying about what they do to look good and I bad.

Carmen :

Botox is what you all tend to see and think and hate and I totally get it. But when Botox has done well, you don't notice it. And I give you the examples of you know well, me for one, and I don't do a lot of it, but I do it. But there are plenty of stars, you know. But let me give you this little nugget how come nobody gets upset or thinks anything badly about people like Dolly Parton and Cher, who have clearly done and embrace everything about what they've done to themselves? Why? It's because you respect them and their spirit is on point. You know what I mean. So I don't lie about using Botox because I want men and women to stop feeling bad about not. I'm not telling anyone to do it, but people should stop feeling bad about wanting to look great. You know and and feel good.

Carmen :

Anthony Davis said old time country and bluegrass music, all of it made music and the entertainment industry what it is today, and it's about good old fashioned values, interesting. I'm not a fan of bluegrass or country. Baby Ooh, I'm gonna throw a pie at you when I meet you. I am I. I love my brother Alden with all my heart. He lives in Vermont and we're clearly not DNA related, but he grew up in Vermont and so bluegrass. I just want to shoot myself, but I agree with you that it is the background of a lot of music. Kevin Baskin, I use Botox for my grades.

Rick:

Yeah, that's really good. That's the thing, isn't it, though Don't they do really good? No, no you can.

Carmen :

I mean, it is for that, but people like to say that instead of you know whatever. I don't mean to make this a show about Botox, unless you guys want to talk about what you could do to enhance your beauty regiment.

Rick:

No, I ain't gonna mess with what God made right here.

Carmen :

Oh, really, so you don't cut your hair, brush your teeth, why are you wearing them glasses? If the Lord made you half blind, why are you?

Rick:

modeling I'm talking about artificial changing of physicality.

Carmen :

Oh, really, one one one. Do you shave? Is that artificial? You're not gonna win this argument with me, go ahead.

Rick:

Rick though. You don't wanna mess with me? Do you think I would look good with a big old beard? I've tried it. It don't look good.

Carmen :

Okay, I'm just. This is what I'm trying to do. This is what I'm trying to say. This is my point. Look at Tony's like. I ain't even gonna go here with her.

Tony D.:

I ain't even gonna. I'm going to sleep, I'm exercising and I'm gonna wash my face.

Carmen :

I'm not telling anyone to get Botox, but what you just did right there, Rick, is the point. It makes people feel bad for doing whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves. And the thing is, we all get up every day. We brush our teeth, we fix our hair, we do what we gotta do.

Rick:

You know what it's saying right, I'm being serious guys.

Carmen :

You know, Women, men dye their hair, people wear makeup, people get their manicures, pedicures, all of this stuff.

Tony D.:

Cosmetic.

Carmen :

When you do it for yourself. And we're humans, we're socialized beings. We want to attract other people. It's what we do. Ted Hicks said, rick, why you wear those glasses. You should reply so I can see.

Rick:

So I can see, and you over here and you over there, I can see, wow.

Carmen :

But I would still respond Ted that he said why am I gonna mess with the way the Lord made me? We're all messing with the way the Lord made us.

Rick:

That's not saying that if you want to do something, I'm pro, do whatever makes you feel good. Okay, there you go, thank you very much Okay.

Tony D.:

Rick, this is over. Rick, what's?

Rick:

your job. I actually really go for R&B a lot, to be honest with you, and what was funny was so when I did become like super uber Christian and I was listening to TV the Christian TV networks everything was country and bluegrass and I'm like I do not like this, but that was all there was, so I got used to it. And then Tony could relate to this One day Beebe and CeCe Wine and showed up.

Carmen :

I was like thank you.

Rick:

God, thank you God.

Carmen :

Yeah, they're amazing, okay, so yeah.

Rick:

I really I have a big lean towards Rhythm and Blues, r&b, but also anything that's kind of dancey, even though I'm not a dancer. But if it's dancey it kind of makes me happy, it makes me in a good mood.

Carmen :

I love gospel music too, like I do love gospel, like you said, you know.

Rick:

Audio adrenaline Anthony wasn't really into them too much. Dc Talk I was. I did like DC Talk. Wait, wait, wait wait wait, these are Christian bands.

Carmen :

But who are you reading?

Rick:

Anthony, Mr Me.

Carmen :

Oh my God, okay, yeah, okay. I bet Rick loves Audio A and DC Talk. So those are Christian. Rick likes salsa. I love salsa. Why is Kevin saying Rick like salsa?

Rick:

I said anything. That's dancey, I guess, oh dancey Audio adrenaline. Yeah, adrenaline.

Carmen :

Adrenaline? Yeah, I don't know any of these things.

Tony D.:

I think I've heard of the genre.

Carmen :

It's Christian Audio adrenaline.

Rick:

But these two, they made me happy, BB and CeCe, where we are.

Carmen :

Yeah, well, we OK, but we all love them because they crossed over into. Well, first of all, it's them, and the first time I knew who CeCe Wynons was was because of Whitney Houston. You know what I mean Like.

Rick:

So there, was no getting around it. Yeah, they were close.

Carmen :

So, and then, and then, cece Wynons and BB Wynons, they crossed over. What was the song?

Rick:

contemporary gospel how many songs.

Carmen :

No, there was a. There was one song that I can't remember it, but it crossed, and if I sang, even hummed it, you'd all know it, but I just don't remember. Up top my head I bet Rick likes jars of clay too.

Rick:

I don't know what that is it's another Christian one, oh.

Carmen :

OK, and clearly I don't know any of the Christian songs. Ted's like Neo Soul. What does that mean, Neo Soul? So Ted Hicks and his group is going to have we're going to have a crossover show is still trying to figure out the dates but we're going to have late night parents and our show together. I can't wait, That'll be fun. I love gospel reggae and reggaeton and cocomelon.

Rick:

I never heard of cocomelon.

Carmen :

What's cocomelon?

Rick:

I have no idea. I know reggaeton.

Carmen :

Reggaeton LaToria, latoria. Yeah, tony, is that how you say it.

Tony D.:

The way I see it I see the story. But if it's a story, that's what Rick said, that's how you say it.

Rick:

Yeah, people on Periscope used to say Lataria. I'm like no, not Lataria.

Carmen :

Where do you see Lataria?

Tony D.:

How did you know? Almost I was filled. Y'all already know my genre was hip hop, plain and simple. I grew up watched it from its inception. I love R&B. I had to grow to like jazz. Gospel has its moments to me. I'm not the biggest gospel fan, but I'm definitely definitely a hip hop fan Off the road.

Carmen :

What was your favorite hip hop?

Tony D.:

Rapper period.

Carmen :

Hip hop yeah.

Tony D.:

Carousel.

Carmen :

OK, what song can you listen to on loop and not get sick of it?

Tony D.:

I would start and I've done this with a lot of songs on road trips. My first choice as of right now is going to be whatever happens about Michael Jackson.

Carmen :

Really? Oh, I would never have guessed that.

Tony D.:

Well, that is a great I actually did on one of my broadcasts that was emphasizing. I said had this song been released on the radio because I never heard it on the radio while he was alive that album would have went down enough for that song alone. That's one of the best songs I've ever heard about him.

Carmen :

I agree with you. With Michael Jackson it's pretty cool, but I would have never guessed that for you. Rick, what song can you listen to on loop? Even if it's a gospel one, it's all good.

Rick:

Trying to think what's not a gospel one?

Carmen :

No, tell us a gospel one, because we have a lot of people who know gospel.

Rick:

It's going to be corny, but if I, is it about?

Carmen :

Whitney Houston.

Rick:

I love me some Whitney.

Tony D.:

Houston, I'm sorry. I played it one time. He enjoyed it. Yes.

Carmen :

I would have never. Well, you guys are surprising me so much.

Rick:

All time. All time, not new stuff. The old time, mariah Carey, what do you mean?

Carmen :

new stuff, oh, mariah.

Rick:

Carey, old Mariah Carey. Not the new Mariah Carey, but the new stuff, but the old stuff I like to verse.

Carmen :

If you want to hear a really cool Jamaican reggae band, you should check out the Swanky Kitchen Band. They are very cool. I will totally check it out. I was just listening to. I'm having the worst memory issues today. I don't know why. I think it's because I'm really really tired and I can't see that. Well, you know what I should put on my glasses?

Tony D.:

How about you do that?

Carmen :

Because I only need them to read, and then they bother me. If I'm looking at you guys, you know what I mean. Oh, you see now.

Tony D.:

We're going to go all glasses broadcast Just to help all glasses broadcast. Yeah, because I can't believe see Jesus just left Chicago's easy top.

Carmen :

I don't even know what that means. I don't either. What do you mean? Jesus just left Chicago's easy top.

Tony D.:

The longer my list is growing. I got another song that I can listen to.

Carmen :

Go ahead and tell me, tell me.

Tony D.:

Jesus Heaven by Bb and Cc Winers. I love that.

Carmen :

Oh yes, that's really good. I think that's on the CD, yes.

Tony D.:

Heaven.

Rick:

That's the first song.

Tony D.:

Yeah, that's the first one. I remember that video, man, please.

Carmen :

Okay, I'll tell you one of the songs that I've been listening to every time I go for a workout. It's the first song I listened to, and even today I was so stressed out I didn't want to go for my walk. I worked all morning and then I had a little break and I went for a walk. It's smile.

Rick:

Oh yeah, my curtain's right.

Carmen :

It's been my thing. It's been my thing for a few weeks now, Like I. Just it gets me in such a joyful place.

Tony D.:

The more positive, more optimistic and more energetic at the same time. Optimistic by sounds of blackness.

Carmen :

Yes, I know that yes.

Tony D.:

That whole first CD and before whatever, I have played that on rotation so many times.

Carmen :

Yes.

Tony D.:

That whole CD has uplifted me on the whole thing. It's amazing.

Carmen :

Anthony, I hear you and we all know we all love Dolly Parton. But she wrote and produced the song I Will Always Love you as a country song and Whitney Houston is the one that made it famous as a pop song. But let's not forget the rest of that story. Whitney Houston, even though she made it very famous, she did not own the rights to it. So, as a producer, dolly Parton still got all of this money. And then Dolly Parton took all of that money and put it back into black neighborhoods. I think it was like reading or whatever for kids. I forget what the charity was, but she put that money back into the community. For people of color Like Dolly Parton is queen, there is no question.

Carmen :

I've never heard anything negative about her and I will listen to nine to five and whatever the song she sings, and I have it on my playlist like every once in a while, just to do honor to her. You know, because I remember the movie, remember the 95, the way to make a living. Like you know, I don't know much about Dolly Parton music wise, but I got mad respect for her. Ted Hicks said Cheryl Lynn, encore dropped in 1983. I don't know who that is. Is that a Tony D? Can you tell us?

Tony D.:

Yes, your love, you're so good. Goods Erzene Encore, Deezers En Encore.

Rick:

Everybody know that song.

Tony D.:

Pull that song up. You know that song? Pull up that song.

Carmen :

Pull up that song. Everybody know that song. I'm like I'm singing it for a minute 1993. I was kind of young.

Tony D.:

They still play that on a lot of the R&B stations.

Carmen :

Okay, rick, did you pick a song? Did you pick a song on loop or an album?

Rick:

I said I could do a Christian one. There's one called Lifter of my Head. I don't care how bad a mood I'm in If I listen to that song, it's going to shift my mood to good mood.

Carmen :

Sing me a chorus, sing me a song.

Rick:

It's just kind of repetitive. It's like you are the lifter. You are the lifter of my, of my head, of my head. It's kind of fucking nice.

Tony D.:

Always a redhead shake when you sing this Go ahead Woo. Go ahead.

Carmen :

Sing it, sing it.

Rick:

Yeah, angelo and Veronica. He's Hispanic and she's Italian and married. Yeah, they're white, but you would think they were black.

Carmen :

Yeah, what about albums? Okay, let me just tell you some of my favorite albums that I can listen to from beginning to end, because this was so Macarena, kevin, get out of here. Get out. Kevin Macarena. I hated that song when it came out and I hated it. I hated it every time I hear it.

Rick:

I wish I wrote it. Yeah, you'd be making money.

Carmen :

I wish you wrote it because you'd have the money Right. Hey, hey, I wish I wrote it too. Don't mean I want to listen to it. Okay, one of my favorite albums that I can listen to from beginning to end without fail is the Miseducation of Lauren Hill. From beginning to end every song. Not one fail. What about you, tony Rick?

Tony D.:

It's a rap song. I mean it's a rap album. It's about a rap album it's called Nocturnal by a rap group called Heltoskelton. I had played that song.

Carmen :

What's a famous one that I would know?

Tony D.:

La Flora.

Carmen :

La Flora at Schollstein oh yeah, yeah, okay, I got you.

Tony D.:

If you know that song, I'm impressed, I am impressed.

Carmen :

I got you. You are a queen, I love rap.

Rick:

I love rap.

Carmen :

You know, I love rap, I love old-school rap.

Tony D.:

You are a queen of Rory. You know what I mean. I was a queen before you heard that.

Carmen :

Come on, I've always been a queen, took my glasses off Me too, because it's so funny, because I can see, like that I can see. It's always going to remind me of Mario when he did that.

Tony D.:

No, that was a good. That was a good rap album. This may not be for everybody, but if you're an old-school hardcore hip hop fan Old school.

Carmen :

Yeah, that's old school.

Tony D.:

That was 1996. I remember the first time I heard it I was actually in New York for the summer. I was singing Add to my Sisters and I heard it. I went and got it and I have not stopped listening, even damned it, to this day.

Carmen :

Really Okay.

Tony D.:

I haven't heard it in a while.

Carmen :

Yes, Okay, let me ask you this question, and then I'm going to ask Rick too. Okay, tupac or Biggie?

Tony D.:

For me, Tupac.

Carmen :

Yes, not even a question.

Tony D.:

I was a Tupac fan. Well, tupac came out before Biggie. He had a little bit of a run before Biggie came out. So those of us who remember before we were Tupac fans, before we were Biggie fans, in all honesty, I mean again.

Carmen :

I mean there was the rivalry between the coasts, right or whatever, and that's fine, but I know, but it's not no more. But here's the thing, the thing I love about Tupac versus Biggie and people who are Biggie fans are going to get mad at me. Biggie a little bit more nasty than I'd choose him to be in his lyrics. You know what I mean. He's very, very dirty. You know what I mean. And very, very well, they were both misogynist, but I mean it. Just it was the time. But every time I hear a Biggie smile and I'm like listening and I'm like I think Tupac had more of a Biggie had more of a student club, vibe Tupac, had more of a international vibe From what I'm saying.

Carmen :

Tupac was more of a poet too. Biggie was a poet, biggie was a good poet.

Tony D.:

I can't talk about his rhymes, it just, and for me and I'm going to say this, this would be probably one of the most controversial things I'll ever tell anybody in the hip hop community there was a time when hip hop needed to change and Biggie was classic hip hop. Tupac was to me oh, you got to think about it like that. You got to be an old school hip hop head to understand what I'm talking about. Biggie did things the old school way, which was appreciated. We didn't have a problem.

Carmen :

It was appreciated, it was.

Tony D.:

Well, for me, as somebody who had moved out and was looking for something different at a specific time, Tupac came with something different that was good. His first CD was good and it hit the new aspect. Okay, here Go ahead.

Carmen :

No, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Tony D.:

Biggie gave us a classic aspect that a lot of us who were from that area, region, state were familiar with. To me I had already heard that before and that's this almost. It's a bit, yeah, but you can't take away me.

Carmen :

Big biggie was amazing.

Tony D.:

You can't say you just heard Because when he did not from Houston, but I rap a lot I was driving you turn into the record store and got it.

Rick:

I said no, that's a lot.

Tony D.:

That's gonna make me spend money. Between that's the flavoring ear remix, the what and unbelievable, I had to go get his CD.

Carmen :

Okay, you're saying that biggie, that that to pop changed Rap in a different way than what we were listening to before that.

Tony D.:

He was different from what I was used to hearing that I enjoyed. The kicker with a lot of these new artists is you got a draw the audience to you to pot drew me with what he did Me specifically personally. I liked when my homies call that was it.

Carmen :

Okay, can I tell you and I'm gonna totally give the cliche to pop answer. The reason why I love to pop even more is Because when he wrote, dear mama, that changed the game cuz it connected. That was like it just Over everywhere. It crossed over and other people could. Rick, do you even know what we're talking about?

Rick:

Fagely.

Carmen :

I'm so sorry.

Rick:

His intellectualness.

Carmen :

Have you ever heard, dear mama?

Rick:

I think I've heard it like if you played it then I'd be like, oh yeah, but I can't think of it right now in my head.

Carmen :

Yeah if I played it now, though, then they would delete it off my YouTube, wouldn't they? I'll send it to you, rick, because it's really it's the song that like. I say this respectfully Don't send me no DMs about this, but whenever I talk to white people about rap and they're getting all upset about like 50 cent or whatever, or they're talking about vanilla ice, I'm like Lord Jesus, like let me send you a song so you know who to park is, cuz you know they're like oh no, too bad, too much. I'm like okay.

Tony D.:

Do not blame Carmen for this. This is nothing against.

Carmen :

Okay so. So here's my question to Tony and Rick, and then we're gonna move off of rap, but I just want to get Tony's idea of Eminem.

Tony D.:

One of the best rappers out there, but he can never be the king.

Carmen :

Okay, but why can't he be the king? And why did you say that that was interesting? Why?

Tony D.:

people want to make him the best rapper ever man, make him the king of rap. No, he is actually acknowledged. The rappers before him who made him who he was. He will always have that respect. He can be a hip hop guy, but he would not be the hip hop guy. Okay, now about to go on my soapbox. The hip hop guy does rock him and be dead king. Y'all better stop right now. Y'all better stop right now.

Carmen :

That's all Fighting with. Is it he fighting in his lyrics?

Tony D.:

He's not fighting with anybody.

Carmen :

Eminem Is not have you listened to his latest, that just.

Rick:

I haven't heard anything.

Carmen :

Oh no, rick, he's all over tiktok right now.

Tony D.:

Oh, eminem is.

Carmen :

Eminem is all over tiktok and he's arguing with not arguing.

Tony D.:

He's just arguing with Meli Mel. He's on with Meli Mel.

Carmen :

I don't know who he's are. I thought he was.

Tony D.:

Meli Mel couple months ago. I know we're talking about on that, meli Mel says something about him and they're going back and forth. Yeah, eminem, the man's sick, the man's a beast. I should get a two hour marathon with a bunch of his songs.

Carmen :

He's hot and that's what he will not put himself above the legends and that's the respect we're gonna give him, and I know but here's okay, but and we don't have to get into this country because I am fighting with nobody, because, again, I don't know why there needs to be Competition or why. But I think it's interesting because he talks about the reason why he can't ever be. I don't think he says King, but at the top is because he is white, and it's an interesting Controversy to think about. You know what I mean.

Tony D.:

Eminem is gonna go down as a hip-hop guy. He will go down as a hip-hop guy.

Carmen :

Oh well, here I mean, there's no denying his talent, his rhymes. Hey, look it Again. I wish we lived in a world where color didn't matter. But it does, and we don't live in that world. And even when we die, it still probably won't be a place where the color of our skin will be like our eye color. It's just not gonna happen. And I think the thing with hip-hop is is as much as I think that Eminem has, you know. I mean, he's gonna do a rap battle with anyone. It's gonna be something to watch, you know what I mean.

Tony D.:

It's gonna be something with him. We killed the racial barrier off of guilty conscience, off of his local content, the guilty conscience of the second song that he came out with. Yes, you killed that aspect off of that song alone, and so many songs afterwards you tend to throw that away to listen to his raps.

Carmen :

Tony, he's not, you need to go on Correct.

Carmen :

He's even saying it, I think, because he's getting to the point where I don't think he's angry about it. He's making the point in respect To black artists, but he's saying I will never be the top and it's because of the color of my skin, like I think he's acknowledging the problem of but you know what? Look it. I think he is Not just a genius in his lyrical Stuffage. I think he's a genius in that he understands the dynamics of race and how so many Musicians we can talk about Elvis Presley, for example. We can talk about so many great artists and I'm doing quotes for a reason that stole and did not give credit agreed and that's why I think he is saying that. I don't think he's saying it like I'm angry, I'm mad.

Tony D.:

He's saying it like no way he accepts the accolades that he has gotten the level that he is going to the fanfare, the fan base. People want to see him, want to hear him. He has hung on some of the best rappers out past and present, so he's going to be up there.

Carmen :

He just can't be sorry, but when you have Snoop Dogg and dr Dre in your corner, I don't even know what else to say.

Tony D.:

He's pretty amazing. Every major rapper respecting him yeah.

Carmen :

If he said, talks about him all the time with just complete love and joy, and I'm just like no, why?

Tony D.:

because he sounded the.

Carmen :

I know, but still, but he's. But he's lived up to the hype, like you can't deny M&M.

Tony D.:

You got his respect. That's all you want.

Carmen :

Yeah, you can't deny him he's so good. And somebody was talking to me about like well, what about vanilla ice? I'm like stop, you're in the wrong.

Tony D.:

In the wrong room I think.

Rick:

I think if every you know happy that everybody said, okay, we all voted M&M, you are the king, he'd be like no, I'm not comfortable with that.

Tony D.:

I think, as far as the hip-hop community itself and the way the genre has grown. He came after the greats. Everybody formatted themselves after the originals period.

Rick:

Yeah but that's what happens all the time right.

Carmen :

Look at. The reason why I pause is I'm gonna have to send you guys a couple of TikTok clips of his latest album or whatever. That was just recently released not months ago, but just recently and I've been watching them and it's and it's fascinating to me Because he is lashing out and saying things I think out of respect, but also eggnog, like I think M&M believes he is the greatest rapper. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Tony D.:

I haven't heard an album since 2018. I see it must be curtain call.

Carmen :

No, no, he has an album out now. He has an album or he's doing something on TikTok because everyone's talking about it. Let me see. Ted Hicks said Carmen, after your show, played Jill Scott's album by popular demand. You can listen to the entire this. I know who Jill Scott is. What's Ted Hicks doing?

Tony D.:

that woman's music is dangerous to me.

Carmen :

Come on now, bobby Samps. You have to be relevant, 24 7. I am baby, but thank you. Did he get a star on the walk of fame? Who? M&m, I guess, since we've been talking about him if you ain't on the tune or M&M or 5 9, you ain't Competition, just a fish. You're trying to buy the line. I don't know. Is this a lyric? I don't know what you're talking about.

Tony D.:

Where's the 5 9? I don't know who to. I know who works to find I'm. Worse to 5 9 is good. Those two are homeboys. Worse to 5 9 is very good. He's one of the more underrated rappers of hip hop ever, hey obby stamps.

Carmen :

Let me explain. People don't know that the way in which you get a star on the walk of fame, yes, hollywood has to say you can get this, you know. The city of Hollywood has to say it's okay for you to get a star on the walk of fame. However, what people don't know is that you have to pay for that. So usually a production company or management company, they pay for it. So there's a reason why, like all the people from what was that show with ray Ray Romano?

Rick:

what was everybody loves Raymond.

Carmen :

Everybody on ray romano show has a star on the walk of fame Except ray romano, because he refused to pay for yeah. I mean I don't know if that's changed recently, but yeah, I mean, no offense to the walk of fame thing, but I it doesn't mean that much to me anyways, now that I understood that, I learned that when I first moved here. Latoria, I want to say her name. Right, we're gonna have to talk.

Rick:

We're gonna have to talk.

Carmen :

There's a difference between the king and a king, because the originals would be crowned the king. We're done with the conversation. Yes, okay, thank you. The clarity is on point. We're done. Thank you, latoria. I know I'm messing up her name. I know that's not how you're not.

Tony D.:

No, you're good. That's how Rick said. That's how you pronounce it, latoria.

Carmen :

But have you met her and talked to her in person?

Rick:

Who Latoria? Yeah, she's been on my she literally. Okay, she's been on my broadcast a lot.

Carmen :

I'm saying, do I mean on? You've talked to her in person and you got the vocal? How to say her name?

Rick:

Yeah, yeah.

Carmen :

Okay, it just don't feel right. I'm not feeling it right. I feel like I'm gonna Latoria. Can you tell me how? If I'm saying your name right, it just looks beautiful. Look at Tony's all in it. Tony, you can drop out anytime you have the power. I can't believe Like this, like I'm not even sure what it is.

Rick:

Kevin.

Carmen :

Naske says you have to pay $10,000 a year to maintain. He's talking about the whole block of fame. So yeah, life is bogus. What's that? Is that an album?

Tony D.:

Bogus.

Carmen :

Bogus bogus. Again. I should put on my glasses. I'm like bogus.

Tony D.:

That's Bobby D and Bobby over there.

Carmen :

Yes, rick, and I have spoken and yes, you're doing it right. Okay, thank you, thank you. Okay, thank you, rick. I questioned you. I wanna apologize, oh you're good, I'm so sorry, but you know I have that stuttering problem, so I really feel bad sometimes because I mess up, I hack people's names and it's not intentional. So thank you.

Rick:

Not intending to bring back Lucy, but there was one where John Wayne. John Wayne. He did the. What do you call it? Now? We just talked about the stars. That's the footprint thing, what's?

Carmen :

it called Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Rick:

Where you had the footprints right and you signed it the Chinese Man's Theater. So he did that, and then Lucy messed it up. But he didn't know she messed it up, so then she kept trying to get him to stand on some cement so she could fix it.

Carmen :

This was an episode.

Rick:

This was an episode.

Carmen :

Oh yeah, so I love. But you see, this is Rick's job. He brings us way back to the beginning right at one hour mark. Go ahead, baby, okay. Tony D. Main Source Breaking Adams Entire Disk.

Tony D.:

That's old school Looking out the front door. I got you.

Carmen :

So, rick, any albums.

Rick:

I didn't hear any albums from beginning to end from you because I was talking too much there was this is gonna be a Christian one and it's a worship one, so it's like a church appropriate one, but it's called Heaven on Earth by David and Nicole Binion. And, yeah, I've listened to that a bajillion times, from beginning to end.

Carmen :

A bajillion. Yeah, I also have to give a shout out to one of my favorite artists, who I love. I can listen to his album Faith over and, over and over, and I do it's in my car. George Michael. May he rest in sweet peace. I love George Michael. And what I love about Black Folk is we all love George Michael.

Tony D.:

We all love George Michael.

Carmen :

His voice was in the, in the, in the, in the in his ability, and this is what was great about George Michael. The reason why is cause he always, always gave respect and credit where credit was due to Black Folk. And then he went and won, like one of the awards at like, one of the like at the forget what. What award show it was, but he should not have won right, cause it was in the genre of Black music. And he got up there and everybody was happy for him. Anyways, I'll send you the video clip. I forget.

Tony D.:

Yeah, please send me. I never heard of that, the only one I've ever heard.

Carmen :

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a big deal. I think he won the award that you know every Black artist should have won, and I think he was humbled by that.

Tony D.:

You spoke out on behalf of people cool.

Carmen :

I mean, I loved him from day one, but when they were doing their cheesy rap song back in wherever he's from London, they were doing their weird cheesy. It was like in the 80s.

Rick:

Oh.

Carmen :

Ram yeah Wham you know what I mean.

Tony D.:

Wham was jamming, though Wham was jamming.

Carmen :

But they were doing rap. It was so bad. If you go back and listen to it. It's so cheesy but it's fun and poppy and whatever.

Rick:

Wake me up the fire, you go Well that was later on.

Carmen :

I'm talking about the look at Tony. Tony gets embarrassed for you. It's hard.

Tony D.:

No, I have hope. We always do this all the time.

Carmen :

I think Rick is a natural goofball though.

Rick:

Oh yeah.

Carmen :

Are you really, but why did you put it on the side?

Rick:

I get it from my dad.

Carmen :

Did. Did you ever see that movie with Nathan Lane and Robin Williams, the Birdcage, where Robin Williams is on stage and he's trying to explain to the, to the guy that he has to do? Martha Graham, Martha Graham, you know what? Madonna, Madonna, you don't remember that?

Tony D.:

Is that the one where you better watch it?

Carmen :

It was so funny, but it just reminded that because, okay, I'm not going to do a good impression and I don't even know the word. Well, but he goes. Martha, you have to act like this. This is he's trying to tell the dancer how he has to dance and he says you have to do Martha Graham, Martha Graham, Madonna, Madonna, and then and he says some other ones, and then he goes. But you have to keep it all inside. It's classic Robin Williams, like classic, Cause he's like all over the place, you know what I mean. And he does all these different ones.

Rick:

Isn't that the one where the guy who was gay had to pretend he was like straight, but he couldn't really do it?

Carmen :

So it's. It's not just any guy. Gene Hackman plays the father and the son is going to date the daughter of Nathan Lane and Robin Williams, characters who are married. By the way, this is back in the day before. This was an okay thing, you know what I mean?

Tony D.:

That was in the 80s, wasn't it?

Carmen :

I think it was like nine, 80s or early 90s.

Tony D.:

It was 89, 90,.

Carmen :

yeah, and Gene Hackman plays the father and he has to dress in a, in a outfit of a woman Like he. You know what I mean? He dresses in drag, basically, and to get out of where he's in. So it's, it's just a really fun. I think I'm gonna watch that movie again 1996, my apologies.

Rick:

Oh yeah, it was, I did see that.

Tony D.:

Yeah, I did see that Later than when I thought it was.

Carmen :

It was really funny, and I mean I'm sure it's a little bit dated now, but I mean Robin Williams, I love him oh he's another woman.

Tony D.:
