Yes Angel, wrong is wrong no matter who commit the crime… But what Kevin said is true as well, we only notice the ones we care about or keep in our visual. Therefore, those are the ones who get corrected or critiqued. For example: My husband wore a wrinkled shirt to a work party, I immediately noticed and expressed my upset with his raggedy self. He then pointed out another party goers wrinkled pants and my response was “I don’t give a F**k about what they are wearing to notice, I care about you looking good”… I know you like to generalize black people but let me tell you, we support each other 100% all day!!!! Every black film, we show up and show out, we gon make sure that movie become #1 at the box office! Same with music, sports, etc! As hard as this pandemic has hit me and my family we still showin up for Kevin and his app. So we aren’t harder on each other, we just pay attention/support each other so we happen to notice and say “Aye, fix that sh*t please”.

[@dancemusikk]

THIS! It really irks me when we use the narrative that we're not supportive and we're quick to bash other Black people. It's a cop out so you don't have to be responsible for your fuxk up. You just put the owness on Black people like we're the actual issue. No ... we just call ish out.

[@qhen9322]

@@sdub7045 Indeed! I didn’t appreciate that either, I wish Kevin had stuck with his thought because it was on point… In all actuality, both of them were correct. The problem lies where Angel didn’t listen to Kevin by halting his thought to prove hers is the only correct one. But, if we’ve learned anything about Angel by watching this podcast is that “she knows everything and listens to very little” lol!… This is a great podcast, I hope her and Kevin go great places with it!

[@KristenYolanda]

This might be me projecting, but does anyone else feel like Kevin was making a fair point on Beyonce and Angel was not trying to understand it, but was so focused on getting him to understsnd hers? The Black community is not gonna care as much about Lady Gaga doing this because we don’t expect any white person to consider the history of anything that would be offensive to us. Whereas Beyonce has literally said she wants to be a strong representative and put our images out to the world so that we have a bigger presence. We care more about someone who wants to represent us, but falls short in knowing better than someone who we don’t expect to care about us at all.

[@markeshiadesselles4443]

I 100% sided with Kevin. But Angel made a point. We will cancel our own before holding other cultures accountable.

I had mixed feelings about Bey and Jay's accomplishment. It's good to see representation and success but it is what it is. Calling people hypocrites doesn't make the critiques less valid.

[@vikkidc3859]

Beyonce actually has a history of mishandling African representation which also contributes to the criticism. There was that time where she wore noticeably darker makeup and stereotypical tribal outfit and the time it was rumored she was to play Sarah Baartman. I think too often her brand and image has been used to promote a capitslist agenda in Africa which has rubbed some people the wrong way.

[@allthingscreative1631]

Beyonce does not do her own make up.. and people also said she bleached her skin that lady has always been fair skinned.. she isnt brown she has light skin lol it's easy to get her shade wrong you get a tan boom, there you are to figure your shade again.. point where being youtubers get their shade wrong and they pick it out themselves.. does that mean she bleached her skin, does it mean she intentionally wore darker make up?? Some of these things are just lighting issues... people will say anything to criticize someone can I say that there isnt an agenda? No and I won't but it is sad to see that no matter what a person does they get slammed for it

[@azaniajuicethwala5324]

Also, Black folks aren't his only fan base, so whether if we have an issue with him or not, he'll still be alright.

[@hahaha430]

I also agree, It's all hypocrisy in the end, and Beyonce has never pretended to not be a capitalist, her and Jay-Z have made it very clear they are about the money. My problem is that a lot of terrible companies profiting of colonialism and oppression like diamond mining, are using the trappings of Black innovation and diversity to clear their name of the abuse of a lot of people in Africa. What Beyonce's Tiffany's campaign does is allow that company to never ever address or even attempt (let's keep it real, they were never gonna do that anyway) to fix the damage they caused in Central Africa.

Beyonce has been touted to be the savior of all africans, just last year people were calling her "mama Africa." When she is the one supposedly pushing the culture forward, of course she's going to get backlash for these gross misdeeds. This was not a win for black africans, what would have been more impactful is her advocating for Tiffany and Co to return the diamonds. She and Jay z are so big they can make these demands, yet they didn't. Their previous advocacy for black africans has always fallen short, repatriation should have been the objective of the photoshoot and would have made the africans that were doubtful of them come around. Also we are in a new age of the internet. media is fast and people are constantly trying to be woke and earn points, so this isn't just cancel culture. The story was supposed to be big, so more people saw it and more people are 'woke" than in 2012 when gaga wore it. Sorry, people were not outraged in 2012, but we are now.

Who called her mama africa? lol never ever heard of this.

[@victoriacurry2006]

OMG I am crying real tears listening to Angel do her wildcat voice

[@briley4th]

She didn't ask for him to clear it she said it would be nice to know that her arrangement was on the song

[@hotchocolategirl1der]

"Big Drac-no" 😂😂😂 Good one Josh!

[@trinandrealewis001]

Question, whose idea was it for Bee to wear the diamond in the first place?

[@brownhippiex496]

That’s the best question, I feel like since she was going to be the first black woman to do it she didn’t think more about it. As someone who is very into fashion just like they are, I feel like she knew but didn’t fix it until the backlash started.

I was at the Houston show! Sugar in grits

[@Luvtheskinurin]

I was at the late show for my birthday on Sunday in Houston… I’m very familiar with these two from the podcast and ig, but had never seen the stand up. All 3 of them KILLED IT. I didn’t know what to expect, but they all gave me a good open mouth cackle. It was a good time for sure

[@Gaia007]

I know she didn’t say she was seeking credit but, Bri Babineaux was given credit which is listed in the credits on the album.

[@robinwilliamson2262]

I enjoy this... It's a real listening segment with good character and current events. Home-run media... And ( Kev) a strong wholesome man in the hotseat...

[@ToleranceToAnExtent]

I LITERALLY just saw an add for them and was confused when they said they had 21 year old high schoolers

[@MKelly-pm1np]

The sun down here in the Souf/ South ain't no joke. I'm from New York and I live here now and I'm still not used to it.

[@VybeLordTony]

All Bri wanted was "CREDIT" simple acknowledgement !

[@lashundagladney5434]

I can hear Angel do the wildcat all day, be happy and laugh my ass off😂😂😂

[@alethiajacobs8066]

I ❤️ Lucille’s! My fave and glad y’all got to experience it! I suggested it in comments when y’all was talking about getting in touch with TLH! Our Museum District is dope too! Kev would love love it! 😁 I have been to almost all of the museums in that area and would take family when they visited! Hate I missed you guys’ show this time around.

[@kerubon2477]

Some really interesting conversations happening in your comment section on the intersection of class, race and culture. Hope you guys will take the time to read them. :)

[@roshondaferguson5566]

Enjoyed seeing you and Angel in Houston
