[00:01:34] Speaker C: Welcome back to finally we back with a Wednesday's episode of the DJ Blaze radio show podcast. It's your boy, be easy. [00:01:41] Speaker B: And this your girl, Amy. [00:01:42] Speaker C: Amy. [00:01:43] Speaker B: Yo. [00:01:43] Speaker C: How are you making it? You making it? [00:01:46] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:01:46] Speaker C: Wonderful. This episode was kind of inspired by you because I saw. Okay, Scooby. Because earlier in the month you. Cause you always kind of. I won't say always, but a lot of times you would do these challenges with these lists and stuff. And I started to join in on this one, like, on social media. But these things kind of hard sometimes. They make you think. [00:02:13] Speaker B: They make you think. [00:02:14] Speaker C: Yeah, they make you think and dig deep. [00:02:15] Speaker B: You gotta get in your bag. [00:02:16] Speaker C: Yeah. You gotta get into your soul, for lack of a better word. Even though I don't believe in a soul anyway. That's just my cross the bell, y'all just, you know. But you know, you would do. I was like, well, I kind of wanted to have something to do where we talk about black music month, so, you know. [00:02:35] Speaker B: Cause last year we did the producers during black history. Black music month. [00:02:39] Speaker C: We did. We did. Wow, look at us. [00:02:43] Speaker B: We so black. [00:02:45] Speaker C: Any of y'all other shows doing this type of stuff? I doubt it. Except for maybe Kevin stage. They do a lot of stuff. They do stuff. They do. This one thing I think we could do. Cause we watch movies almost as much as them where they recast. They'll either recast like a black movie with white people or recast a white movie with black people. And I think that's one of the smartest things, you know. Cause you gotta know actors and stuff like that. But anyway. Yeah, so we here for this. Email us djblayshowmail.com dot. You got anything before we get into these songs? [00:03:24] Speaker B: Yeah, well, first I just wanna give a shout out to Naima Cochran. So, this is her brain chat. [00:03:28] Speaker C: Okay.

But, you know, sometimes just throughout the year, she'll do challenges. [00:03:55] Speaker C: What's. Hold up. I'm trying to think. Do I follow her main page, or do I follow some other page that. [00:04:01] Speaker B: Just posted this music sermon is the. Her music sermon. [00:04:04] Speaker C: Okay. That's the page I follow. [00:04:05] Speaker B: Right.

[00:04:32] Speaker B: So, yeah, I hang out there more than Twitter now. [00:04:35] Speaker C: Cause the way it's integrated into your Facebook and Instagram, well, personally, I'll click on something, and it'll take me off, and I'll be like, damn, this going to threads.

That might be something, but somebody was like, it has the look and feel of Twitter. No, it has the look of Twitter, but it feels like Facebook and Instagram or something like that. And they didn't like it. But anyway, so shout out to what her name? Naima Cochran. [00:05:19] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:05:21] Speaker C: So, this is the black Music month challenge list.

[00:06:22] Speaker C: Okay. [00:06:23] Speaker B: Cause at first, the first thing I say was, big old freak. [00:06:25] Speaker C: Okay. [00:06:25] Speaker B: Cause. Oh, my God. A summer that felt like the summer big old freak came out. [00:06:30] Speaker C: What year did that come out? [00:06:31] Speaker B: 2018. [00:06:31] Speaker C: Oh, okay. Okay. [00:06:34] Speaker B: And then I thought back again, like, the first time I heard Amarie's why don't we fall in love? [00:06:41] Speaker C: That was like zero two. [00:06:43] Speaker B: Mm. [00:06:44] Speaker C: Yeah, something like that. [00:06:47] Speaker B: I can look, but that just feels like spring. [00:06:50] Speaker C: Summer time. [00:06:50] Speaker B: Spring and summer. [00:06:52] Speaker C: Yeah, definitely spring. [00:06:53] Speaker B: Before it got hot. [00:06:54] Speaker C: It came in at zero two. I be knowing me and Jones be knowing them sounds now. Yeah. Shout out to Amarie. Yeah. [00:07:01] Speaker B: This was the first time you heard that song. You probably had a little boo thing. [00:07:06] Speaker C: This song. Yeah. This song reminds me of the woman that I want in my life. Very pretty. Leggy. [00:07:17] Speaker B: Yeah. She had her legs out in the video. [00:07:18] Speaker C: Very carefree and happy. Just happy. Just in the park. Just somebody that be in the park, enjoying nature. Yeah. Shout out to that Amarie with that song. What do you think mine is? You know. [00:07:32] Speaker B: Oh, is it when Jay Z was on BEt awards and. And he dropped Izzo? [00:07:40] Speaker C: That's a good moment. That's a good moment. And that moment comes second to this moment only because the first time I heard this song, I heard it live. It was me, my homie, Chad. Chad, little brother Travis, who's now a grown man, and my other homie, Pat. Shout out to P. All us, we went to. It was called the Sprite Liquid Mix tour. [00:08:02] Speaker B: Okay. [00:08:03] Speaker C: It was, you know, all the Rockefeller was there. Talib Kweli was there. Now, it was two rock bands there. One called Hooper, Stank. [00:08:12] Speaker B: I remember them. [00:08:13] Speaker C: And another rock band called 311. [00:08:15] Speaker B: Okay. [00:08:15] Speaker C: So that was a whole mixture of. Jay Z was the last one. So they performed this song and we was like, yo, what is that beat? Like, that beat is crazy and free. [00:08:24] Speaker B: There is a meme going around with, like, ad yours on instagram. [00:08:29] Speaker C: Like, what? [00:08:29] Speaker B: And it's that white boy with scrunch up face. And it was like, what? What beat? What beat did you hear when you heard this? When you made this face? [00:08:37] Speaker C: This is it. [00:08:37] Speaker B: This is it. [00:08:38] Speaker C: Like, we was there, like, what the fuck is. And like, how they was doing it, like. Cause they were performing and Jay was like. I mean, freeway was rapping his part and, like, you know, on this, like, Jay would be like, keep going, keep going. Free would stop. Like, when he'd get done rapping, he'll like, turn around. Like, he gonna go and Jay grab him and turn him, like, keep going. That shit was so hard, man. We was loving this shit. But this song right here, like, that, just that moment, like, the crowd while we. We paid front, and it's crazy. Like, one of the talking points now is like, how much ticket prices are? I remember buying all four of our tickets. [00:09:09] Speaker B: Wow. [00:09:10] Speaker C: We were on the second row, $50 a piece. [00:09:13] Speaker B: Wow. [00:09:14] Speaker C: You not gonna get that. You can't get in the building for. [00:09:17] Speaker B: $50 in the fucking parking lot for $50. [00:09:19] Speaker C: You can't. Yeah, you gotta pay dollar 400 to park now. Yeah. So, yeah, at that moment, shout out to Chad, Travis and Pat. We got some regular ass names. Don't Brandon, Chad, Travis and Pat sound like a sitcom? Yeah. So that's my. That's the song I wish I could hear again for the first time. Now, day two was your favorite Philly soul or Philly soul inspired jam. What was yours? [00:09:45] Speaker B: Mine was like, it's golden. [00:09:52] Speaker C: I should have had the cameras on for that. For that face. [00:09:55] Speaker B: It's actually the OJ's for the love of money. So when you think Philly Soul, you think gamble, huff and Bell. [00:10:02] Speaker C: What? [00:10:03] Speaker B: Gamble, huff and Bell. They were producers back in the seventies that made a lot of the songs. [00:10:09] Speaker C: This nigga got in her bag. You just made Jones hard. Jones thing so hard right now, when you just say gamble, love and belle. [00:10:18] Speaker B: Huffs. Gamble, huff and Bell. [00:10:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:21] Speaker B: So they produced a lot of the soul songs that we are familiar with. [00:10:26] Speaker C: Okay. [00:10:27] Speaker B: And this is one of them. Even, like, a lot of works with the ojs. [00:10:30] Speaker C: Okay, what about, like, them niggas from, like, Cleveland and shit like that? So, like, you know, like, the west coast sound in rap, right? It ain't really a west coast sound, is really. They got that sound from, like, niggas that live in, like, Cleveland, Ohio area, whatever. [00:10:47] Speaker B: Ironically. Um. What's the OJ, man? Lavert. He from daddy. [00:10:53] Speaker C: He from Cleveland. [00:10:54] Speaker B: He's from Cleveland. But Campbell, Huff and Bell inspired this sound. [00:10:58] Speaker C: Ah, so this is. Okay, so this is some Philly soul shit for you. Damn. Took it back. Damn. Yours beat mine. I know that. And this ain't no competition, but it is. I gotta have so mine. Cause when I hear our age, when you hear Philly, you think of certain. [00:11:21] Speaker B: Like, neo soul or something. [00:11:22] Speaker C: Neo soul but then you also think about the roots. When I hear Neo Philly shit, I think it is just this video, you know? Just ask Erica Badu, ain't it? [00:11:41] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:11:42] Speaker C: She ain't even for Philly. What's the song that. [00:11:44] Speaker B: Well, it was supposed to be Jill. [00:11:45] Speaker C: Jill Scott. I thought so. Okay. Yeah. This is the favorite Philly soul. Neo soul, or soul inspired jam. Yeah. So day three was you really need the artist to explain the lyrics to this song. So what's yours? [00:12:00] Speaker B: They want a fix. That was a fix. Bum stickity bum bum stickity bum hum. [00:12:06] Speaker C: I got the duffel ruppa pump but I'm a fee fire foe diggly dumb here I go, but see a hyper I hyper there Pinocchio's no cause I'm some kind of fragile tacto I be your oopsie daisy now you got me crazy, crazy with the hump scibbity boo, where's my baby? So one, two, um, buckle my, uh, shoot yaba doo, crack a booster, trick or treat my feet. What the fuck are you talking about, nigga? That rhyme, that words that made up. [00:12:36] Speaker B: Me and t in the car by ourselves. Cause we dropped Caleb off first. This came on satellite radio, and I'm vibing. [00:12:42] Speaker C: I'm. [00:12:43] Speaker B: He looking at me, listening to the lyrics. He looking at me like, what the fuck are you listening to? [00:12:54] Speaker C: I'll be hyper. [00:12:59] Speaker B: To this day. It's like they put a lot of phrases together and made a song. [00:13:06] Speaker C: Yeah, but do hippity who crack? [00:13:08] Speaker B: That's basically what it is. [00:13:12] Speaker C: Here come his homeboy. His homeboy. Worse. No, it's not. And what the fuck is a hardy shout out to that song? You got me with that one, cuz. Mine. My song that, you know, I want the person to explain the lyrics. Let me see if I got the name right. This song. They even asked this artist what this song was. What this. What is this? And their response? He answered the question with these words. He said, uh, you know, it's this. Pink cookies in a plastic bag getting crushed by buildings. What? Pink cookies in a plastic bag getting crushed by buildings. I don't know what that means, LL. And they asked him to explain. Like I said, he explained it just like that. [00:14:20] Speaker B: I mean, even if it was a metaphor, what could it possibly. [00:14:23] Speaker C: Nobody knows. What's the build? [00:14:26] Speaker B: Pink cookies could be, right? Yeah. [00:14:29] Speaker C: What's the buildings that's crushing it? [00:14:31] Speaker B: The plastic bag is a condom. I guess the building is the dick. [00:14:36] Speaker C: I don't know, but his. But the plastic bag would have to be the pink custicus would have to be inside the plastic bag, which would be his dick. Maybe the buildings just have vagina walls and they're tight and he's crushing the building that's crushing the pink cookies that's in the plastic bag. I don't know. Day four was a celebrate your favorite multi generational grape. [00:15:03] Speaker B: Did I do. I think I did Isley brothers? [00:15:06] Speaker C: The Isley brothers. Okay, you got. [00:15:10] Speaker B: I didn't, I didn't. I picked. The song I put was like voyage to Atlantis or something like that. But when you think about Isley brothers, they started way back with shout back in the day. Like, our parents listened to them and you did, too. [00:15:23] Speaker C: They got a whole bunch. This one right here might span the most just cause of biggie. Jay did a switch on his beat, too. But yeah, the eyes of the brothers shout out to them. Cause they did their verses not too long ago. I wonder if, like the kids, do they realize how good this music is? Or maybe they're not old enough yet. Maybe like Lil Uzi gotta do a cover of it or something. Like a redo the beat. What? [00:16:00] Speaker B: The 20 year old's fucking too glorilla or some shit. [00:16:07] Speaker C: Mine is Frankie Beverly. Ah, he got a whole. Now I would play before I let go. Cause, you know, a couple years ago, Beyonce. Oh, this is a jazz truth. I don't want to hear the jet. God damn it. I hate when they do that. This ain't the original either. This a jack. [00:16:31] Speaker B: He probably locked that music down when he left the group. [00:16:33] Speaker C: Oh, no, it's on here. There's on here. I should fuck it. I'll play this one in. [00:16:40] Speaker B: Oh, that's my shit. [00:16:42] Speaker C: Oh, Frankie Beverly. This is something can't get over you. But, you know, like I say, he played the family cookout anthem before I let go, you know, then Beyonce redid it. But he just got hits. Like, there's some joy and pain and happy feelings and they just got hits. Yeah, you can't. You know. [00:17:08] Speaker B: This my son. I play this when I just be cooking on the grill in my yard. Yeah, like this. Yeah, he's singing on this earth, wind and fire together. [00:17:16] Speaker C: You know, I realized the way he's singing, the way he used to sing or whatever. I wonder if that's the reason why his voice fucked up now. Cause I don't think you can. Like a lot of people, they talk like they sing a little bit. I don't know if you can. If he really talked like this and he was straining his voice to sing. [00:17:34] Speaker B: For so many years. [00:17:35] Speaker C: So many years. Yeah. [00:17:37] Speaker B: I don't think they ever sat down. [00:17:38] Speaker C: And all that white. He's like, Frankie, dinner in blanc tonight. What? Let me go in my closet. Let me see what I got in here. He got so much white to choose from. But, yeah. So that's day four, day five is a song that reminds us that all music is black music. What you have. [00:18:03] Speaker B: So I went into my holiday. Y'all know the holidays? I went into my holiday bag for this because Chuck Berry. [00:18:10] Speaker C: Okay. [00:18:10] Speaker B: Was an artist who did rock music and black artists who did rock music. So I went with Run Rudolph. Run Rudolph by Chuck Berry. [00:18:20] Speaker C: Oh, run Rudolph. Let me see. That was just up here, too. Run Rudolph, run. [00:18:28] Speaker B: So y'all hear this all the time in the Christmas movies. Home. I think I was in home alone. This is a rock song, but it went double platinum in the Boon household. My mama had to take. [00:18:41] Speaker C: Now, see, I like the way you did, Joy. Cause you did a person in another genre, basically. And I probably should do that, too. Like, got, like a country song or something like that, which is. That's good. That's good. See, I did the other thing. So, you know, recently, it was post. Like, people posting, like, I didn't know this person was black. I was white. One of the most prolific people. [00:19:09] Speaker B: Mmm. [00:19:10] Speaker C: Was. [00:19:11] Speaker B: Bet you're wondering where I been. [00:19:15] Speaker C: Whose song is. [00:19:16] Speaker B: What song you about to play? [00:19:18] Speaker C: Well, I was gonna go through a couple of them. [00:19:20] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:19:21] Speaker C: So this is one Bobby Caldwell. [00:19:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:25] Speaker C: Is a. Oh, that's. That's. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. Were you right? Yeah. She's a. He's a habitual offender of that. You don't realize it was a black. It was a white person. Him. He's one. [00:19:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Lisa's voice is so fucking sick. [00:19:46] Speaker C: Yep. [00:19:47] Speaker B: Lisa Stansfield. [00:19:48] Speaker C: Lisa Stansfield. [00:19:50] Speaker B: Her little Apollo performance. Cause, you know, I'm looking at all the old Apollo. [00:19:53] Speaker C: Oh, she was on there. [00:19:54] Speaker B: Yeah. She was doing her little dance, and it was like, oh, Lisa. [00:19:57] Speaker C: Oh, okay. This song right here. I didn't really realize she was white until today. [00:20:05] Speaker B: Mm. [00:20:05] Speaker C: But I never thought about the artist. I just remember the song being on. On the big DM 101 back in the eighties. So this is one. [00:20:18] Speaker B: Not since I found. Since finding out she's white, when I sing it, I put a little. [00:20:25] Speaker C: That's how they do. That's how they do. I was on the music Jones. That's gonna come out Tuesday. Well, it came out Tuesday. Now, if you listen on Wednesday. And it was the, I think, 30th year. Yeah. 30th year reunion. I mean, 30th year anniversary of Warren G's album regulate. And this person right here, Michael McDonald. [00:20:48] Speaker B: Oh. Can't get. [00:20:51] Speaker C: Yeah. So it was just a lot of them. [00:20:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:55] Speaker C: That, you know, reminded you of that now day. What would they be on day five? No, day six. [00:21:01] Speaker B: We're about to go to six. [00:21:03] Speaker C: Yeah, day six. Your favorite falsetto. [00:21:07] Speaker B: So at first, when I answered this question, and I'm not gonna use that, but I wanna just mention it. It's the game. Not the game, the dream. [00:21:15] Speaker C: I thought about that song, too, just. [00:21:17] Speaker B: Because I like how he talked her through it, if y'all know what that means. He talked her through it throughout that whole song. But I am going to go with the Debarges. [00:21:25] Speaker C: Ooh, okay, I forgot about this. What's the name? [00:21:31] Speaker B: Elle. Well, Elle is the one with the high pitched voice. But what's the song? Shit. Pick one. As long as Elle singing it's falsetto. [00:21:38] Speaker C: Let's see. Lay with you. That's a good one. No, that ain't the one. No, I'm saying maybe I need to go. Maybe I need to go with just the DeBarge group. [00:21:56] Speaker B: Yeah, the barge. Yeah. Here we go. So the thing about Elle is that he. He can hit his falsetto, and he also can sing, like, in a normal tone as well. What was the other song that I chose? Well, at the end of this song, he gets to his falsetto. [00:22:24] Speaker C: Isn't in all this love. Do we do it in all this love? [00:22:27] Speaker B: Possibly. [00:22:32] Speaker C: Yeah. Like you said, he might get to it. Yeah. [00:22:36] Speaker B: Naima also said that we could do whistle register songs like Mariah Carey. [00:22:42] Speaker C: Shit, yeah. So you gonna say Mariah care? [00:22:45] Speaker B: No, I wasn't gonna say Mariah care. I was gonna say Minnie Rippleton. [00:22:48] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [00:22:51] Speaker B: If I could hit that fucking note, I would not be sitting here. [00:22:54] Speaker C: Have I ever told you about. You ever watch South park? [00:22:58] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:22:59] Speaker C: It was somebody on South park, and they were singing this song, and when they got to that part, they were like, ah. Ah. Cause they came to nothing. It was like, every time I hear the song now, I think about that episode. Oh, yeah. So shout out. So when did she put the rules? [00:23:23] Speaker B: She'll sometimes put it in the comments. [00:23:24] Speaker C: Oh. On the regular post. I gotcha. I gotcha. So, yeah, that was good. So mine. I hope this one fits. Okay, so this one was mine. I think it counts. But this is a print song. If I was your girlfriend. Let me skip a little here. [00:23:51] Speaker B: Prince definitely counts. [00:23:54] Speaker C: Cause I don't. I can't tell if they sped the song up. Cause that's Prince singing. So do that count? Okay. [00:24:06] Speaker B: And I think that's Prince. I don't think it's sped up. [00:24:08] Speaker C: That's him. [00:24:09] Speaker B: Like, that's his voice. [00:24:10] Speaker C: Oh. [00:24:10] Speaker B: Cause, like, his singing voice could do that. But then if you think about his speaking voice, it's very deep. But his singing voice did that, too. [00:24:17] Speaker C: But I wanna say I heard a slow down version of this.

[00:26:49] Speaker B: The second verse, he says, I love you in a space where there's. I love you in a place where there's no space. A time. I love you for my life. You're a friend of mine. [00:26:59] Speaker C: Disappearing acts. [00:27:00] Speaker B: Disappearing acts. That's it. [00:27:02] Speaker C: You see it right here. [00:27:03] Speaker B: I love you in a place where there's no space or time. Come on, come on. [00:27:10] Speaker C: That's deep. That's too deep for me. Damn. Now you don't made me sweet. I don't want to switch up. And I'll tell y'all the lyrics. I heard this before. [00:27:25] Speaker B: Remember when we were together. [00:27:30] Speaker C: Amy? Amy talk all that tough shit, but she really a softie. She love all that deep shit. [00:27:38] Speaker B: Now, that's how y'all get to me. I mean, yes, send money. Don't stop doing that. But, yeah, lyrics, songs. Send me a song. Even, like, I heard this song and I thought about you. Oh, wet. Come on, now. [00:27:52] Speaker C: Oh, God, I'm. Hold up. You say that again. Now you say. Tell them I heard the song and. [00:27:59] Speaker B: I thought about you, and send me. [00:28:01] Speaker C: A link to the song shit I'm about to start doing. Amy, you send me a list of songs I need to send out when I start sending out songs. Ladies, don't be. Don't tell your friends. Cause this about to be in my bag. Okay? So my original one. Cause I went straight hip hop, was let me pull it up so y'all can hear it. Jay Z was featured on a jeezy song called seeing it all. [00:28:28] Speaker B: Okay. [00:28:29] Speaker C: And just the words, just a lot of the shit he be saying in the song kind of resonate with me. Let me see the lips. I want to rap it. But he said his uncle died on the spot. He really tell his life story. You know, I'm saying, um. I mean, just listen to it. So he came alive in the drop. Big body, all white, shit looked like a yacht. That's personal. He said he got a five grand a pop, had a plug in St. Thomas on the tree. Um, he said flew him black back to the states. He parked 92 bricks in front of 560 state, which is 560 State street. He'd been rapping about that for a long time. But then he said, uh, basically this was around the time when he got the nets, when he made this song. So he was like, pop feisie State. No, hold up. How does shit go part 92 bricks from the 5G state. Not a net throw from where I used to throw bricks, which is hard. Cause the nets moved to Brooklyn, moved to Brooklyn. And it was literally right across the street from where he used to hustle at. [00:29:48] Speaker B: Wow. [00:29:49] Speaker C: Shit like that. But this whole shit, he basically tell his hustling story. And if you've been listening to him or listening to the stories about him, the shit kind of ranked, you know what I'm saying? You can tell it kind of true or whatever, so. But this is one of the hardest verses. Even the shit about him getting the white drop. And he said, I was in the S class while y'all was in class. I used to be in the S class. And y'all niggas was young. My ex had an s class. He had tvs in. That bitch was hard, too. But anyway, this was 20 something years ago. But anyway, this whole verse, this is one of my favorite verses. But that Rick James verse on ghetto life, at the end of the verse, he say, how he say that shit? He said, one thing about the ghetto. You don't gotta hurry. It'll be there tomorrow, so you ain't gotta worry. I don't know why that shit just so hard to me in an old ass song. But that was probably the one two of the songs where I be like, that nigga was spitting Jay Z on sing it all. And Rick James on ghetto life. That ghetto life shit, that's my shit, though. I had to put my cousin up. He was like, man, Rick James, bro. He be saying some wild shit on they, bro, I told you, boy. Them old n be singing. But, yeah, let me see if I can pull that up. But, yeah, so that's what that was day seven, right? [00:31:03] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:31:05] Speaker C: Yeah. So, day eight, when we come back next week, we're gonna do, uh. This probably gonna be the hardest one. Cause I clean my house. The podcast your house about to be clean as a whistle with these songs. Day nine is that this song sounds like what loves feel like. That gonna be hard for me to might be a Marie again. Day ten, a song that represents your favorite music era. Eleven, what did that say? What did it say for day eleven? [00:31:39] Speaker B: Oh, a song that you would set on fire if it were possible to set sound fire if it was possible. [00:31:48] Speaker C: To set sound fire. [00:31:49] Speaker B: Sound on fire. Yeah. [00:31:50] Speaker C: So we do seven, 8910, 1112, and 13. So twelve is a song you hate but can't help but sing along. You love this video more than the song. Day 13, that's the last one.
