WEBVTT

00:10.730 --> 00:15.155
[SPEAKER_01]: We're back on 50 for 50, the top five Alicia Keys.

00:16.076 --> 00:24.306
[SPEAKER_01]: And as I said in the episode that we did on diary, I'm gonna kick this thing off with a rock with it, stop with it.

00:24.366 --> 00:29.011
[SPEAKER_01]: Now some of these songs are very available to be in the top five.

00:29.051 --> 00:34.678
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying that they shouldn't be, but I wanted to specifically take out of her

00:35.300 --> 01:01.206
[SPEAKER_01]: Her albums and because she did some collaborations with some folks that I some of them I think are really fun some of them are are overplayed I don't know if that hurts or helps being in the top five I already know where we're going and some of them I don't know that people even realize are out there they're a little understated But yeah, let's go through them so rock with it stop with it would to start with the first two that you're probably thinking of empire state of mind.

01:04.156 --> 01:08.341
[SPEAKER_00]: I say this as a New Yorker, a very proud New Yorker.

01:09.142 --> 01:10.984
[SPEAKER_00]: I never want to hear that song ever again.

01:13.887 --> 01:14.888
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still going to rock with it.

01:16.950 --> 01:21.455
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just, is it over, is it overplayed?

01:22.156 --> 01:22.837
[SPEAKER_00]: It's overplayed.

01:22.897 --> 01:23.918
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a bad song.

01:24.739 --> 01:25.660
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a bad song.

01:25.840 --> 01:27.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, you know,

01:28.405 --> 01:41.655
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I have concrete gentlemen with whom's our made up and it's just running through my head and it's not going to come out of my head for like another two days now we always had heard that jazzy's original choice was Mary jay blanche

01:42.648 --> 01:49.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I at least I've heard that as who he clearly wanted on it, but it didn't it didn't happen for one reason or another.

01:49.541 --> 01:53.289
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that song better with Mary or is it better with Alicia?

01:54.311 --> 02:01.004
[SPEAKER_00]: I think is Alicia has more of like the Anthemic like cheerleader type of voice for that song.

02:02.106 --> 02:03.589
[SPEAKER_00]: Mary would have put some stank on it.

02:03.609 --> 02:04.150
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah

02:04.720 --> 02:06.804
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would love to hear it though.

02:06.924 --> 02:08.468
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to hear the Mary version.

02:08.508 --> 02:09.309
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'd be really cool.

02:09.409 --> 02:17.506
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I remember hearing Mary, maybe Mary talked about that on a podcast or some, I don't remember, but yeah, if that version exists, it should come out.

02:19.590 --> 02:21.854
[SPEAKER_01]: My boo with usher.

02:22.836 --> 02:23.618
[SPEAKER_01]: We're rocking with it.

02:24.440 --> 02:26.644
[SPEAKER_01]: Rockin' with it too, though.

02:27.974 --> 02:50.607
[SPEAKER_01]: if you've had some that that song doesn't get as played today still as Empire State of mind so you're we can be a little bit further away from it still I hear it every once in a while if I'm skipping through serious channels but uh I just want me because I think my boo is actually a bigger hit I think probably

02:50.992 --> 02:53.716
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but yeah, it doesn't doesn't get played as much.

02:53.856 --> 02:59.083
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just the is it is just the term my boo a little dated.

02:59.944 --> 03:03.349
[SPEAKER_00]: Just 100% dated, but still a fun song.

03:03.369 --> 03:04.791
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, it's it's awesome.

03:04.851 --> 03:10.519
[SPEAKER_01]: I love I love it and it was it was very it's like kind of one of those things where.

03:11.630 --> 03:38.245
[SPEAKER_01]: in movies like you see like your two favorite actors like in a movie together and you're like oh this is going to be really cool like for me that was will Smith and Martin Lawrence and bad boy like like like I was like first day or Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy and life like I was okay in my first day I'm there and this was kind of the same things like oh Alicia Nusher same song like I got it I got to hear this the second it comes out okay it's a it's a it's a good record

03:39.271 --> 04:05.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, as far as I know, this was only, this only came, I don't know if she actually did a studio version of it, maybe she did, but on her unplugged album, there was a new song called Unbreakable that was kind of cool when it came out and it had some pop culture references as far as relation, you know, as fictional relationships and stuff, which was kind of fun, rock with it or stop with it, unbreakable.

04:05.849 --> 04:06.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Rock with it.

04:06.510 --> 04:07.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Unbreakable is a good song.

04:07.772 --> 04:09.374
[SPEAKER_00]: How many of those couples are no longer together?

04:09.414 --> 04:11.197
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, who did she name drop it?

04:11.257 --> 04:15.723
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there are also fictional characters because she's I think she talks about the Jefferson's.

04:15.783 --> 04:16.745
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, whatever.

04:17.065 --> 04:23.595
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe that's not, you know, we can't really roll with that, but doesn't she mention Bobby and Whitney at some point?

04:25.057 --> 04:27.300
[SPEAKER_01]: I know John legend does for sure.

04:27.753 --> 04:29.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm getting maybe I'm getting my songs mixed up.

04:30.417 --> 04:34.162
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think, for what I remember it was all television fiction.

04:34.182 --> 04:38.148
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that was like part of the song was about these relationships like on TV.

04:38.609 --> 04:39.470
[SPEAKER_00]: I think TV, right.

04:39.510 --> 04:43.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm getting getting unbreakable and you still love you.

04:44.858 --> 04:46.440
[SPEAKER_00]: I could have played it.

04:46.460 --> 04:47.722
[SPEAKER_01]: I love you still love you so much.

04:47.782 --> 04:49.245
[SPEAKER_00]: I can, you know, it's such a great.

04:49.345 --> 04:52.309
[SPEAKER_01]: There is, if there is a, like,

04:52.846 --> 05:00.399
[SPEAKER_01]: that those first two John Legend albums, you know, now that I think about it, they're so alike.

05:00.419 --> 05:03.143
[SPEAKER_00]: John Legend in the case, they're in the works, right?

05:03.524 --> 05:05.648
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, 100%.

05:06.289 --> 05:08.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, I didn't even think about that until now.

05:09.033 --> 05:17.267
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe I thought about it in the past, but, you know, John Legend was the piano man, and she was the keys, the lady with the keys, and

05:17.247 --> 05:30.272
[SPEAKER_01]: Their first two albums are their best two albums or their most famous two albums and then they both kind of went into this adult different career path that for adult hoods as far as the records are concerned the John led just come out of the new album recently.

05:31.173 --> 05:38.688
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like two years ago, you can call that recently because I saw I saw some I see something on Instagram but children's album.

05:38.708 --> 05:39.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that's what it is.

05:40.062 --> 05:40.623
[SPEAKER_00]: recently.

05:41.344 --> 05:45.871
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I mean, they both were involved with Kanye at one point in your careers.

05:46.672 --> 05:51.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, uh, uh, I think of both done stuff on Broadway.

05:52.682 --> 05:55.666
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, they're, their career arcs are very, very similar.

05:56.267 --> 05:57.509
[SPEAKER_01]: That's, that's kind of cool, actually.

05:58.130 --> 05:58.791
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

05:58.811 --> 05:59.092
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

05:59.673 --> 06:01.295
[SPEAKER_00]: Ganks the love and with Eve.

06:02.617 --> 06:03.479
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a fun song.

06:03.579 --> 06:04.220
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll rock with it.

06:04.500 --> 06:06.964
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, uh, Alicia's

06:07.113 --> 06:08.715
[SPEAKER_01]: her hook is really fun.

06:09.215 --> 06:11.578
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really pay attention to what Eva's saying.

06:12.199 --> 06:13.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

06:13.300 --> 06:14.642
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's it's what it is.

06:14.682 --> 06:31.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Like she has a very she has a very unique voice and she's got a very unique persona and she was on barbershop so you know she could go hard with the rap stuff and then be like very pretty on TV so I was like Eve as a persona as a rapper.

06:31.641 --> 06:32.642
[SPEAKER_01]: She was fine.

06:32.743 --> 06:36.647
[SPEAKER_01]: She was what she had a perfect voice for that kind of

06:36.627 --> 06:40.411
[SPEAKER_01]: wrap pop crossover stuff, Gwen's, he worked with Gwen Stefani.

06:40.471 --> 06:45.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Gwen Stefani, if there was, if there was an eve greatest hits, I would own it.

06:45.517 --> 06:48.420
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he put, you don't need to own any of our albums.

06:49.161 --> 06:50.282
[SPEAKER_00]: No, not a single one.

06:50.442 --> 06:52.344
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm with you.

06:52.644 --> 06:55.688
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a fun song whenever I hear about whenever I hear it on the radio.

06:55.708 --> 06:58.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I go, oh, yeah, this song existed.

06:58.831 --> 07:00.232
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

07:02.175 --> 07:04.457
[SPEAKER_01]: Lesson learned with John Mayer.

07:05.180 --> 07:05.741
[SPEAKER_01]: rock with it.

07:06.583 --> 07:07.224
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a living.

07:07.244 --> 07:10.950
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll say that without giving anything up, but that that's still whatever.

07:11.191 --> 07:12.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, rock with it.

07:12.433 --> 07:16.039
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a it's a little boring, but I really like it still.

07:16.440 --> 07:20.447
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's a, I don't think it's, I'm not in a that would call it boring.

07:20.608 --> 07:23.813
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, you know, obviously it's not like, you know, it's a ballad.

07:23.854 --> 07:26.378
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not, you know, like a, uh, uh,

07:26.358 --> 07:31.086
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not meant to be like one of those kind of songs, like it's meant to be more like contemplative.

07:31.246 --> 07:33.389
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, but I think it's a really, really good song.

07:33.409 --> 07:38.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, again, another one of like two powerhouses together, right?

07:39.879 --> 07:46.510
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, wild horses, which is a live version of that song with Adam Levine on her Unblocked Album.

07:47.030 --> 07:47.531
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

07:47.551 --> 07:53.699
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, for context, that is a cover of a Rolling Stone song, um, I like that song.

07:53.899 --> 07:57.483
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think their their voices together are really nice.

07:58.184 --> 07:59.206
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

07:59.226 --> 07:59.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

08:00.007 --> 08:00.908
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm I'm with it too.

08:01.569 --> 08:10.721
[SPEAKER_01]: And then this one, I just threw this one on just at the end, because she did a song for the James Bond movie with Jack White called another way to die.

08:11.061 --> 08:12.903
[SPEAKER_00]: I forgot about that song.

08:13.404 --> 08:14.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

08:14.165 --> 08:15.788
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember not liking it.

08:15.808 --> 08:30.197
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was like, okay, just they don't, I don't think that they meshed very well together, but nah, it was, I mean, it was for, you know, whenever they pick someone to do a James Bond theme, it has to be big, right?

08:30.237 --> 08:35.768
[SPEAKER_01]: Because, yeah, that's just what they do it, but yeah, I wasn't really, I was kind of almost like,

08:36.355 --> 08:37.878
[SPEAKER_01]: disappointed in hearing it again.

08:37.919 --> 08:41.527
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, really, this is the thing that they paid these guys money to do.

08:41.627 --> 08:44.273
[SPEAKER_00]: So man, I completely forgot about that song.

08:45.195 --> 08:45.395
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

08:45.415 --> 08:46.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Now let's get to our top five.

08:46.458 --> 08:47.220
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you want to start off?

08:48.322 --> 08:48.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

08:49.184 --> 08:54.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I had trouble deciding on a number five.

08:55.036 --> 08:57.319
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so you know what, I'm just going to go with Fallen.

08:58.200 --> 09:06.609
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, because, you know, Fallen is one of those songs that like hit right on the verge of getting played out because if you were anywhere in the summer of 2001, you heard that song.

09:07.430 --> 09:14.257
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, and, uh, but it's just like it's, it's like she's singing our ass off.

09:14.297 --> 09:18.462
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know sometimes people criticize Alicia Keys for screaming.

09:19.015 --> 09:30.214
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but you know, I think in this particular instance, like it kind of captures like an urgency, um, of, you know, sort of young, falling in love with somebody when you're young.

09:30.414 --> 09:32.919
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know, fallen is just, it's a good record.

09:33.960 --> 09:35.743
[SPEAKER_01]: This is actually on my list as well.

09:36.164 --> 09:37.506
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have it a little higher than you.

09:37.526 --> 09:39.109
[SPEAKER_01]: I have it at number two.

09:39.269 --> 09:44.398
[SPEAKER_01]: And I kind of contemplated I was like, do I like this song that that much.

09:45.205 --> 10:07.535
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think if I was being more honest with like, what songs I want of hers to listen to today, it's probably a little, it's probably closer to where you have it, maybe four or five, but based on these songs that I have listened to Alicia Keys over and over and over again, since the beginning of her career, it's gotta be higher, so that's why I put it at number two.

10:09.257 --> 10:09.357
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.

10:09.522 --> 10:36.390
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, what about number, oh, my number five is, is from the album that we we discussed diary, it is produced by Timberland, this is a song where, if I, if I envision like Pam Greer in like 1970, whatever, like coming out and struggling like it's to this song.

10:36.488 --> 10:40.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's definitely got like that lactation kind of like shaft energy to it.

10:40.837 --> 10:48.993
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like it's like a bad ass song and Alicia is I wouldn't consider Alicia to be like necessarily a bad ass herself.

10:50.136 --> 10:56.809
[SPEAKER_01]: There there are some moments I think she just tried to to kind of be a bad ass, but yeah like that song.

10:56.789 --> 11:04.400
[SPEAKER_01]: And the imagery that was created just based off of that song, I think kind of fits like that Pam Greer style.

11:04.620 --> 11:09.307
[SPEAKER_01]: And I always thought like, wow, that was pretty powerful for her style.

11:09.327 --> 11:15.036
[SPEAKER_01]: For Alicia's style of music, and I actually like that, that and karma on that second album.

11:15.276 --> 11:17.079
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're back to back on the track list.

11:17.099 --> 11:23.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's the first two songs when I was like boom, like that album just hits you immediately with both of those songs.

11:23.705 --> 11:29.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like that they're placed at the beginning of album to just kind of be like, okay, you thought you were expecting something.

11:29.737 --> 11:36.411
[SPEAKER_00]: But you thought you were going to get something and we're going to throw you off a little bit before we get into the more traditional Alicia keys sounding songs.

11:36.612 --> 11:36.772
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

11:36.792 --> 11:38.315
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, what's next for you?

11:39.518 --> 11:42.163
[SPEAKER_00]: My number four is my book, which we just talked about.

11:42.183 --> 11:44.127
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's not like.

11:44.107 --> 11:46.289
[SPEAKER_00]: a weighty song like it's not substantial.

11:46.349 --> 11:52.976
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just kind of a fun record and somebody was probably just like, but if we put us, you know, each of keys in the studio together, it's going to be a number one hit no matter what.

11:54.418 --> 11:58.202
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know that they took a lot of time to write a great song, but it's a light record.

11:58.242 --> 11:59.163
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a fun record.

12:00.064 --> 12:01.465
[SPEAKER_00]: The video is memorable.

12:01.946 --> 12:03.427
[SPEAKER_00]: Their voices sound good together.

12:03.487 --> 12:08.633
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, at that point, anything either one of the muzons was just going to like go.

12:08.973 --> 12:10.755
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a fun song.

12:11.242 --> 12:23.395
[SPEAKER_01]: My number four is the only song I think that is not on the first two albums and it is like you'll never see me again from as I am.

12:24.657 --> 12:27.380
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a time and play song for me.

12:27.400 --> 12:32.965
[SPEAKER_01]: I can kind of place myself in the time frame of when I was listening to that song.

12:33.826 --> 12:36.869
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's a really good heartache song.

12:37.470 --> 12:39.191
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like it really tugs at the heart string.

12:39.211 --> 12:40.532
[SPEAKER_01]: You're like, damn it.

12:40.553 --> 12:42.114
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been in a relationship like that.

12:42.154 --> 12:43.275
[SPEAKER_01]: Alicia, you got me.

12:43.375 --> 12:46.018
[SPEAKER_01]: You got me back in my memories.

12:46.158 --> 12:47.359
[SPEAKER_01]: In your fields.

12:47.379 --> 12:47.479
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

12:48.460 --> 12:51.323
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I like that song a lot better when it was called Purple Rain.

12:53.564 --> 12:54.507
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's funny.

12:55.129 --> 12:55.932
[SPEAKER_01]: I was there.

12:55.952 --> 12:58.319
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a song calls a cash.

12:58.339 --> 12:58.921
[SPEAKER_01]: What does it call it?

12:59.403 --> 13:07.168
[SPEAKER_01]: It's called doesn't even matter or it's it's a song on one of her later albums and I was like, wait, second, I heard this song before.

13:08.127 --> 13:32.481
[SPEAKER_00]: And so then I was like trying to like match it and I went wait Bruno wait just the way you are and I was like these are like the same song she does that a couple of times there's actually a song that almost made my top five called that's how strong my love is

13:32.461 --> 13:33.723
[SPEAKER_00]: come on man.

13:33.743 --> 13:38.232
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, sampling is one thing, but you know, I don't know.

13:39.534 --> 13:42.400
[SPEAKER_01]: Just just just remake the song if that's a song.

13:42.420 --> 13:43.281
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, exactly.

13:43.522 --> 13:44.043
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

13:44.904 --> 13:45.485
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

13:45.505 --> 13:45.906
[SPEAKER_01]: Number three.

13:46.728 --> 13:50.254
[SPEAKER_00]: My number three is actually from element of freedom.

13:50.414 --> 13:51.356
[SPEAKER_00]: It is unthinkable.

13:52.498 --> 13:54.021
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is actually a Drake song.

13:54.061 --> 13:55.043
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.

13:55.529 --> 14:05.762
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and, you know, I run very hot and cold on Drake, but, uh, you know, this was kind of back in the early stages of Drake's career, uh, the video was really powerful.

14:05.842 --> 14:16.416
[SPEAKER_00]: It concerns an interracial relationship back in like 50s or 60s, um, and obviously Drake and Alicia Keys both, uh, parents of interracial, or both, uh, children of interracial marriages.

14:17.037 --> 14:19.420
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so it hit, hit hard in a lot of ways.

14:19.920 --> 14:25.047
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but the song is just like,

14:25.027 --> 14:34.858
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's got like a vibe to it as a kid say this one was just outside of my top five, and you know, when I hear songs like this and I hear Drake.

14:37.561 --> 14:50.095
[SPEAKER_01]: Now he became a giant star like there's no discounting him, you know, he's kind of I don't know what he's doing these days as far as his celebrity is concerned and the beef that he's getting into, but there was a moment in time.

14:51.177 --> 14:52.418
[SPEAKER_01]: Or I was like.

14:52.938 --> 14:56.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, this is kind of a new voice in the genre.

14:57.302 --> 14:58.804
[SPEAKER_01]: And I kind of like this voice.

14:59.885 --> 14:59.985
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

15:00.005 --> 15:12.917
[SPEAKER_01]: And when he does songs like this, it's like there is a, it's almost like his voice and his style is better suited in R and B or pop R and B, then it actually is for hip hop.

15:14.258 --> 15:14.399
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

15:14.419 --> 15:16.400
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where he made his money, it was in hip hop.

15:16.420 --> 15:19.063
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like he's better in this lane.

15:19.313 --> 15:21.235
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean Drake is a rapper.

15:21.255 --> 15:26.701
[SPEAKER_00]: He's always kind of set awkwardly with me because he's obviously perpetrating so hard to be like a tough guy.

15:27.322 --> 15:32.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and will I do you own fucking degrassy higher, whatever, like you're from Toronto, like you're not hard.

15:32.988 --> 15:36.792
[SPEAKER_01]: And he also did like he's a deep pretty good looking dude.

15:36.812 --> 15:47.363
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't need the celebrity to chase as much women as he seemingly still does like it's like right and you you a pretty boy on top of that um my Drake

15:47.596 --> 15:55.887
[SPEAKER_00]: And I, I used to mess with drink, I mean, you know, those first couple of drink albums and you kind of, you'd like you turn me on to hold on tight, we're coming home.

15:57.009 --> 16:02.116
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, which I, I'm trying to remember how you explained this song to me before I even heard it.

16:02.156 --> 16:07.003
[SPEAKER_01]: You were like, it's like the best Euro pop song or something like that.

16:07.744 --> 16:12.490
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, wow, this dude is, this dude's actually very talented, but then

16:12.858 --> 16:18.283
[SPEAKER_01]: there's less hold on tight we're coming home and then there's more of the stuff that you know him by today.

16:18.723 --> 16:24.748
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean listening to the evolution of Drake's career is just like watching somebody stick their head further up their own ass.

16:26.349 --> 16:28.431
[SPEAKER_01]: What was the song from the Lebron movie?

16:29.452 --> 16:29.992
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh forever?

16:30.633 --> 16:32.094
[SPEAKER_00]: Who was that?

16:32.134 --> 16:34.796
[SPEAKER_00]: That was Kanye, Kanye, Eminem, yeah.

16:37.739 --> 16:39.280
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like that song when it came out.

16:39.340 --> 16:40.701
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't listened to that song in so long.

16:40.721 --> 16:42.122
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a while for sure.

16:42.223 --> 16:42.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

16:43.385 --> 16:54.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, for me, number three is if I ain't got you and it is maybe it's almost like her

16:55.282 --> 16:58.665
[SPEAKER_01]: direct kind of connection to the first album to me.

16:58.745 --> 17:06.773
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, that song sounds like what she was doing on the first album, but she's just a little bit more mature and wise.

17:06.793 --> 17:10.737
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's very similar sounding to me from the stuff that she did on the first album.

17:10.757 --> 17:14.060
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was like a good little, good little connection between the two albums for me.

17:15.121 --> 17:16.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Shout out to Methinman.

17:17.603 --> 17:24.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, for that, a very memorable video.

17:25.640 --> 17:26.282
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold it in us.

17:27.205 --> 17:27.727
[SPEAKER_00]: That brother is.

17:27.787 --> 17:28.991
[SPEAKER_00]: That the man's jacked.

17:29.593 --> 17:33.204
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that the man is probably like 53.54, 55 maybe.

17:34.288 --> 17:35.953
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of feel like.

17:37.148 --> 17:42.196
[SPEAKER_01]: Does he have like the the Dwayne Johnson hook up like what what is going on with that man.

17:43.498 --> 17:45.321
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I guess I guess.

17:46.102 --> 17:53.715
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so this must be a thing though, because remember when Dr. Dre and Timberland both got jacked up at the same time, they're all jacked out.

17:53.855 --> 17:58.262
[SPEAKER_01]: And so method men is fits that I mean he's younger than Dre.

17:58.242 --> 18:03.050
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know how old Timmelon is, but maybe that was just the same.

18:03.070 --> 18:17.936
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, there was a, you know, this was a whole thing in like the mid 2000s where like, you know, they got jacked, bus to got jacked, Wycliffe got jacked, Mary got jacked, like everybody got jacked, and most of those people are not as jacked anymore.

18:18.858 --> 18:23.406
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, somehow, you're at least somehow, somehow bus to turn, he turned all that muscle,

18:24.500 --> 18:52.684
[SPEAKER_00]: into like right in his stomach like all that must just like sunk down buster rimes turned into bobby bram uh... obviously there was some steroids happening uh... yeah there was definitely steroids happening but you know metton i mean metton man's always been kind of like a cut-up but yeah is wire wirey tall wirey athletic looking guy like if he was like hoping you're like i bet you metton's probably pretty good basketball player

18:52.883 --> 18:53.203
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

18:53.504 --> 18:53.764
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

18:54.225 --> 19:18.722
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, somewhere in the course of Method Man's career, he went from just being like very charismatic to being like charismatic and very sexy and like, you know, very like,

19:18.702 --> 19:27.573
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, he was on power, you know, playing a lawyer for, I did like six or seven seasons.

19:27.793 --> 19:31.057
[SPEAKER_00]: It was weird seeing met the Mary on TV on the same show together.

19:33.260 --> 19:36.084
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, but he's doing movies.

19:36.204 --> 19:39.928
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a pretty, he just did a movie with, he did a rom-com.

19:40.409 --> 19:42.091
[SPEAKER_00]: He just did a movie with Kelly Rowland.

19:42.151 --> 19:42.972
[SPEAKER_00]: No way.

19:43.222 --> 19:43.723
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:43.743 --> 19:46.328
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, did this didn't hit my theaters?

19:46.408 --> 19:46.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Did it?

19:47.390 --> 19:49.714
[SPEAKER_01]: I might have been like a lifetime or something like that.

19:49.935 --> 19:50.696
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's fine.

19:51.518 --> 19:52.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, good, good for him, man.

19:53.141 --> 19:53.341
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:54.764 --> 19:56.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, okay.

19:56.287 --> 19:57.990
[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, number two.

19:58.460 --> 20:21.244
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... my number two which we talked about earlier is actually lesson learned which is the song that she did with john one of two songs she did with john mayor um... but uh... the song that she appears on john mayor's album gravity is not a song that i like very much uh... which one of the lesson learned gravity is on continue on his own gravity yeah

20:21.460 --> 20:22.925
[SPEAKER_01]: She's seeing like background or something.

20:23.507 --> 20:23.727
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

20:23.747 --> 20:24.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

20:24.590 --> 20:25.714
[SPEAKER_01]: Huh, interesting.

20:25.734 --> 20:29.125
[SPEAKER_01]: I never, I never put her being on that song together.

20:29.543 --> 20:35.914
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and actually it's funny because the, uh, the one time I saw John Mayer live, uh, she came out and did that song.

20:35.934 --> 20:36.355
[SPEAKER_00]: No way.

20:37.076 --> 20:37.737
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's cool.

20:38.057 --> 20:49.116
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, but lesson learned is just kind of like, you know, it's one of those songs for when you're just broken up with somebody and you're deep in your feeling, which John Mayer is probably the master at breaking up.

20:49.196 --> 20:52.041
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's a long there's a long list.

20:52.021 --> 21:00.352
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, but yeah, man, to me, that's that was just like a really good collaboration and it's a very like mature song.

21:00.753 --> 21:03.236
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I mentioned fallen is my number two.

21:03.397 --> 21:04.318
[SPEAKER_00]: So what is your number one?

21:05.379 --> 21:06.641
[SPEAKER_00]: My number one is you don't know my name.

21:07.182 --> 21:11.768
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that the phone piece and I like the sample is so good.

21:11.748 --> 21:25.397
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, man, it's just, it captures a time in place for me and, yeah, man, it's just, it's Alicia at the height of her powers, it's Kanye at the height of his powers, and you put him together and just like this great piece of soul music just comes out.

21:25.657 --> 21:29.004
[SPEAKER_01]: I do really enjoy the baby, baby, baby, baby parts of that song.

21:29.586 --> 21:31.630
[SPEAKER_01]: My number one is a woman's worth.

21:32.656 --> 21:33.157
[SPEAKER_01]: good song.

21:33.457 --> 21:42.888
[SPEAKER_01]: Very interesting that that is also on her first album because that is more of a mature song than some of the other songs on that album.

21:42.968 --> 21:44.030
[SPEAKER_01]: Almost like it doesn't fit.

21:44.050 --> 21:50.838
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when I was like thinking I was like okay, I'm putting my list together and I was like okay, woman's worth that on the second or the third album.

21:50.858 --> 21:53.301
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking at an up and I'm like what it's on the first album?

21:54.041 --> 21:55.423
[SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy.

21:55.555 --> 22:01.384
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be curious to know, like the songs on that first album like in what order were they written?

22:01.824 --> 22:05.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Because the woman's worth probably was one of the last songs written for that album.

22:05.129 --> 22:08.434
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, something like butterflies is like, Spray wrote them, she was like 12.

22:08.935 --> 22:15.284
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she did, I think it's in the public record that she wrote that when she was a little kid or a younger person.

22:15.304 --> 22:16.946
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was one of the first songs she wrote.

22:17.687 --> 22:24.297
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, as always, I'm so happy that we did this

22:25.694 --> 22:40.778
[SPEAKER_01]: like to dive back into Alicia Keys after all these years because of what she meant in those first two albums because like I just, I very vividly remember going like, she's someone we're gonna have to pay attention to.

22:40.818 --> 22:42.200
[SPEAKER_01]: She's gonna be in our life forever.

22:42.801 --> 22:48.070
[SPEAKER_01]: And look, her career is very solid and she's done so many good things with her life.

22:48.751 --> 22:52.697
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, she's not the same, you know.

22:52.677 --> 23:11.226
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the same artist that she was when when I first liked her, but it's just going back to those timeframes going like, man, when we were listening to all that music and like predicting people who's going to be the next, like that's when, you know, I don't know if that was the time frame of when I was listening to the most music.

23:11.266 --> 23:18.657
[SPEAKER_01]: It's probably like mid 90s to like early 2000s when I was listening to every humanly public thing that came out.

23:18.757 --> 23:19.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

23:19.238 --> 23:27.938
[SPEAKER_01]: but this is in that zone for me to where I was like, okay, everyone, just you got to pay attention or like tell everybody, right?

23:27.978 --> 23:37.500
[SPEAKER_01]: Like everybody you knew who enjoyed music and like okay, got to listen Alicia, got to listen Alicia and so it's so fun to get back to get back to those times.

23:37.902 --> 23:40.946
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you know what Alicia Keys probably still has a good album left in her.

23:41.246 --> 23:45.731
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if she just like sat at the piano and was like I'm not going to listen to the radio.

23:45.891 --> 23:47.533
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to make a record for trends.

23:47.734 --> 23:53.861
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to like I'm going to just sit down and like write some good songs And like I'm going to put a good album out.

23:53.881 --> 23:54.642
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she could do it.

23:55.323 --> 23:56.985
[SPEAKER_01]: And we we already put this together.

23:58.306 --> 24:03.252
[SPEAKER_01]: We need the Alicia and Johnny legend collaboration.

24:03.518 --> 24:07.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm down with Alicia Keys John legend album and Alicia Keys John may are record.

24:07.543 --> 24:07.803
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

24:08.904 --> 24:16.052
[SPEAKER_00]: Just put Alicia with a bunch of dudes named John on one record and, you know, I think it would be very, very good.

24:17.554 --> 24:18.055
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, man.

24:18.075 --> 24:19.216
[SPEAKER_01]: This is this was good stuff.

24:19.296 --> 24:19.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

24:19.616 --> 24:23.501
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll be back with next.

24:23.861 --> 24:25.363
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not even sure what we're doing next.

24:25.743 --> 24:31.450
[SPEAKER_01]: As we go down this list, I have some ideas and I really, you know,

24:32.830 --> 24:40.943
[SPEAKER_01]: The hard part though is like, I get inspired to listen to certain things and I'm like, oh, because I was like, I think like, let's do Biggie next.

24:41.003 --> 24:44.289
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's it's not a hard one to do, because he only has two albums.

24:44.309 --> 24:46.592
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're not having to go through a lot of stuff.

24:47.313 --> 24:49.557
[SPEAKER_01]: But then I like look through the list and I was like,

24:50.937 --> 24:55.490
[SPEAKER_01]: George Michael one is kind of interesting because I know Mike is a giant fan, right?

24:55.550 --> 25:02.289
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that would be you just showing your your knowledge for, you know, for a certain amount of time.

25:02.530 --> 25:03.613
[SPEAKER_01]: Or it's like,

25:04.825 --> 25:16.420
[SPEAKER_01]: When's the last time I listened to the lannis morris said like it's like those kind of things and there was a documentary on a lannis morris said on HBO and their music and their music box series.

25:16.481 --> 25:18.063
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's they're stuff there.

25:18.083 --> 25:25.092
[SPEAKER_01]: So what we'll figure it out, but maybe maybe it'll be better if we just like lock in like three the next three and then we can kind of Next year.

25:25.152 --> 25:26.614
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

25:26.594 --> 25:28.798
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, that is it from here for 50 dot net.

25:28.818 --> 25:30.240
[SPEAKER_01]: You can check out all of our stuff.

25:30.741 --> 25:35.288

[SPEAKER_01]: So check that out.

25:38.153 --> 25:48.349

25:48.329 --> 25:53.819
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, given us feedback with the BC boys episode specifically, I think resonated with the lot of them.

25:54.260 --> 25:57.125
[SPEAKER_01]: So now it's really fun to hear their feedback.

25:57.145 --> 26:03.277
[SPEAKER_01]: So shout out to everybody in the discord, and yes, so we'll be back next week for Mike.

26:03.297 --> 26:03.898
