Man shout out to Rapsody for dropping this amazing album. May she get all the support, success and happiness she deserves.

I’m saying, Angela g vibes. Does her homework sooooooo well!!!!!! 👏🏽

[@kcakiid]

She more into music and more intellectual than Jess honestly. I think she more passionate about music that’s why

[@Dr.WilliamsJ]

I totally think that she should be the host instead. She brings a new energy energy. She’s intelligent she can communicate effectively and she has ideas. I’m glad they are going her a chance.

Energy will be different interviewing politicians etc

Keep Jess and replace DJ Envy with DJ Nayla​@@kcakiid

[@ktdouglass8992]

We not realizing the magnitude of what we’re witnessing. This is the greatest female artist of all time, top 50 of all time over all, and she is top 10 overall in the current climate of hip hop; that’s not debatable… salute queen, and thank you for the NEEDED perspective🫡

[@Atribecalledsuccess]

Why isn’t her music popular?

[@reefb4364]

@@Atribecalledsuccessbecause she doesn’t cater to the same basic bs most of the popular female artist do - Sex, Money, material shit - she doesn’t fit that mold.

[@kaybee4L]

Imma say this AGAIN, plz include Nyla in the 40 and under artist interviews. I almost forgot Envy was absent. Her follow-up questions damn near carried this interview. 💪🏾 I think this is the first time I’m seeing Nyla and Jess on at the same time and it went much better than I thought. Yalls vibe matched the guest’s energy. Good stuff

[@Importeknika316]

Nyla's and Jess's energies don't match or balance...Nyla is intelligent, articulate and graceful....Jess is just loud and ignorant, she adds no value to an adult conversation. She brings down the intelligence and vibe in any room she's in...she's like the loud friend you hope doesn't make it to the gathering because they're just obnoxious

[@jittredd2934]

I love her seriously she's very knowledgeable and actually enjoys hip hop

[@Independent365]

Love they gave her the full hour!

[@lakersin556]

Because Envy isn't there. He's quick to rush ppl out.

[@stevenwalton3363]

Thank God CThaGod and Nyla are here to facilitate this

[@Importeknika316]

Yup, cause Jess sure as hell served no purpose and made no significant contribution. Now admitting she doesn't like to talk, then why the hell would you force Charlemagne to get you a job (over several more qualified and experienced candidates, like Claudia Jordan) why would you force Charlemagne to get you the role of Radio TALK Show Host if you say you don't like to Talk!?

[@krisj827]

Nyla needs to be a regular on the show. She balances out Charla's pettiness.

[@Importeknika316]

You mean Nyla counters Jess's lack of intelligence and lack of contribution.

Yo I listened in this morning but missed the beginning; and that whole time I did not know they were interviewing Rapsody! *Shouts to the Young Music Queen* 👸🏾 🫡

[@whitney7063]

This felt like a conversation amongst friends not an interview. I think it worked well.

[@Kingjames313]

Love her, love her and LIFT her up! Rapsody actually has something to say that’s meaningful and that’s why she’s supported by men.

[@QueenMes22]

I really wish Jess would do some research or even ask for some before interviews because you really don’t even know she’s in the room most times. She’s come such a long way with her reading on air! Front page news commentary and interviews need some work.

[@emmalupupa4262]

Sighhhh and I actually like Jess but you’re right. Doesn’t feel like she researches on subjects she’s not that familiar with… Yee always came prepared 🥴

Yeeeeeeee…. IKYFL

[@anthonysmith7734]

Man ppl don’t even see how Charlagmagne be low key putting Nyla and Taylor in great opportunity exposure between TBC and Brilliant Idiots by always putting them on. He’s literally tryna put them on before he calls it quits so that they can carry the torch. Specially for Nyla. But he’s been doing this for other ppl for years

[@clutchk5240]

Been peep that they the new blood. NYLA also throws showcase so she’s very active.

Rapsody is and always has been in my top 5 ever since I first heard her music!! I love to listen to her speak and share her perspective. Thank you for sharing!!

[@jasminesanders6034]

Why she not getting the recognition she deserves? You got people giving attention to these talentless female rappers who can’t write, stay on beat or switch up their flow to save their life. That’s why hip hop is down bad now because folks focus on looks and popularity vs real talent

[@penelopesanchez1679]

Facts!!!

[@GH_USA]

Because she’s not showing a lot of skin and not with all the antics. That sad!

[@ScaryToRemarry]

Say that again! The rap game has changed 😫

[@fromlissawithlove]

But we as consumers HAVE the power to keep sistahs like Rapsosy, Sampa the Great, Tierra Whack, Lady Leshurr, Nitty Scott, Sa-Roc, Noname-etc, IN rotation. The same way this “blackout celebs” not speaking out on what’s going on in Palestine is making these folks backtrack faster than MJ’s moonwalk, THATS the same energy force we need to put in for ALL of these lyrical queens out here.

[@webmedia3748]

I propose a ‘Black Star’ -esque supergroup in the rap world. How about Jean Grae and Rapsody with strong female R&B artists such as Alex Isley, H.E.R. and We are KING? A response to counter the attention rap beefs attract, which really counteract hip hop cultural solidarity/progression.

[@ADyani6]

Yes!

[@salcaneat]

As lyrical and good as she is, She ain’t shaking ssa so she won’t sell. The world is crazy

[@Chelle_Shok]

And that's the sad part.

[@Nerd_Jee]

I’ve been listening to Rap since she was rhyming with Mac Miller early in her career. Her very first album “Beauty and the Beast” is a classic. “Laila’s Wisdom” is a classic. “Eve” is a classic. Her mixtapes are fire. I saw her perform live, she’s ill. She’s the quintessential hip hop artist. Period. She puts on for us swaggy girls trying to find our way in the world. She’s my favorite. I’ve put so many people on to her. Growing up it was Ms. Hill for me. In my mid 30s, it’s Rap. Hands down.

[@metcalfethegod]

I love Rapsody so much and i appreciate her for staying true to self. 💛
