she's the most real and self-aware artist I know. Such a great interview.

[@Bears11422]

I loved her music when she first debut with Tyler. But now i also love the person behind the music. I hope she stays humble and caring for the world. P.s. Thumbs up to the interviewer on keeping her comfortable.

i love her sm she deserves the world :) she just seems so pure.

[@benjaminburke4685]

I first heard of Kali through Vince Staples. I heard of Vince from Earl on Epar and Earl from Tyler......so essentially, Tyler brought me here haha

[@A-Oh-Trey]

Isolation is such a dope listen. 😌👌🏾 Not only is girl gorgeous, Kali got talent and a good mind. Wish her continued growth and success.

I been rocking with Kali uchis for a minute.Im happy to see hear elevate to this point.

[@tinazamora637]

Kali Uchis is a gorgeous Colombian with an amazing voice and very artsy with her music videos. I personally enjoy her voice and lyrics are bomb. I was hoping to hear more about her music, future colabs and projects but instead of asking her questions about her new music. Ask her about trump and other dumb stuff.

[@spunkiQT]

UGH I just love Kali Uchis. I know they probably wanted to make the interview flow but should've come with questions that touched on the themes in her songs

[@TheEarthisghetto]

19:37 to 19:53 is where she talks about the N word. best explanation ever and even better coming from a person who's latin its rare for them to get it another reason I stan 💯👏🏽

[@MIent1313]

you clutch for the timestamp

[@MavidG]

No matter how racist this sounds to minds in this current society. It’s racist to allow, or disallow any race to say or not say or do anything, including saying the n word. It’s not popular to say this, but it’s fair and right.

[@MIent1313]

Dee Gee I entirely disagree with that statement being right. Define right, maybe that would help. Is right 'just' to you? How is it racist? Define racist? And when I ask you to define these words I mean beyond the dictionary definition, what do they mean to you? Words have dictionary definitions, but also working, functioning definitions. I'll give you an example of what I mean: In 2013, dictionaries like Merriam-Webster, a well respected dictionary publishing company, added another definition to the word literally. This definition indicated that the word 'literally' doesn't have to mean literally. Because it's everyday use deviated from the dictionary's definition they changed it. I say that to say the dictionary doesn't always follow what 'you' mean

[@MavidG]

MIent1313 the words mean to me what they’re defined to mean in the dictionary. I’m not trying to create a secret code. Plain English as most understand it is my goal in this communication. Racism as I understand it, is to draw lines between ppl based on race, and then add in negative or positive commentary about a particular race that’s been divided from the others or other. It’s racist for me to say that black ppl dance well. Just as it’s racist for me to say that white ppl have no rhythm. The truth or positivity in each comment is completely irrelevant in considering whether it is or isn’t racist. By “right” I obviously don’t mean directionally. I’m not speaking metaphorically. By “right” I mean what is factual and correct. You can even add in a moral twist and say that it coincides with Gods will, or what is morally and ethically right for humanity. But I mainly mean what is correct and true for everyone involved, by dictionary definitions of each word. It’s racist to say that anyone cannot do something based solely on their race. The more we do that, the more we perpetuate racism.

[@TheEarthisghetto]

@@MavidG I like how you're trying to call a whole race of black people racist for not wanting people to say one word that's not a part of their culture what you said is not "fair and right" its wrong and entitled
