[@hendricksroshane]

Lover her energy. Great interview that really felt like a conversation.

[@letmelick]

That drake vs Aubrey album idea is low key 🔥🔥🔥 tho

[@nillklassicoretratorecords]

She is smart, articulate, beautiful and she loves hip hop, that is amazing.

[@TheMenages]

*articulate

[@LoopyLemon775]

9:16 Who “we”? That’s not why I loved drake? “He’s half white from Toronto with a Jewish mom blah blah he’s half white blah blah and Jewish” Like nah He just made good music that’s why I liked him. Also the comments d riding this lady is crazy? Are these bots??

[@Sickniccc]

8:41 Her take on drake is SPOT ON. I’m the same way except I stopped after NWTS

[@ashpeaks]

I stop there too I 💯 agree

[@6ixallah]

I stopped at scorpion imo that was his last really good album listening to clb I’ve given that one more of a second chance but his last three projects have not been the albums I wanting from him

[@randomnobodyplaythrough7770]

Drake is overrated.

[@regalsylvester]

She spoke truth for the day 1 Drake fans

[@yungslimeto35]

i love how she brought up take care. does anyone actually remember the reviews on take care? everyone said it was trash but as time went by all of the sudden its a classic some drake’s fans just take this way too seriously. i personally think its really good, so do the 450k+ people who bought it the first week

[@Cweezy580]

She’s really attractive. Loved hearing the perspective

[@BlackHawk9615]

I didn’t know who Sowmya was before this interview and I’m glad I know now. She’s very knowledgeable. A Hip Hop historian. Very dope

[@Sickniccc]

First time hearing about her, but she’s a Gem for acknowledging the style and trends Hip Hop has set

[@thneal851914]

Biggie’s One More Chance verse when he said “I’m clocking ya Versace shades watching ya”. He was the artist that put me on the brand.

[@AntonioDrakeMusic]

This is definitely a classic interview right here!! Never heard of Ms Sowmya but she was amazing .. the gems 💎 being dropped.. her knowledge on hip hop fashion and albums, taking us down memory lane was A1!! Drake may not be a fan of her take but she didn’t tell no lies🤷🏽‍♂️!! #OVO

[@richardray6516]

Drake Convo starts at 8:20

[@Lil_bottega73]

😂

[@blkcoverboy1049]

Spent too damn long talking bout drake

[@chapp5703]

Bars just landed : Finally got the jay z reference to Dapper Dan, ‘Wear a G on my chest I don’t need dapper Dan ‘ 😮😮🔥🔥

[@casynovids]

Sowmya said in what order 😊 then she said ready to die or life after death ... i fell in love instantly ... hiphop knowledge is sexy on a woman 😊

[@youngjedi8963]

Facts

[@jonrite813]

A sweat/suit album from Drake would be 🔥🔥🔥

[@oscarrobertson2257]

She's cool people's . I can see me and her out chilling at a quiet restaurant chopping it up about Hip-Hop. Lol . frfr that was cool interview

[@andersonb8925]

Great nostalgic interview... 👍👍👍👍

[@callenjohnson81]

Damn she damn near said what Budden said... Drake finna have bars for her

[@CeeP211]

She definitely did

[@chinaaaliyah7039]

This is my first time hearing about her but she’s a gem make her the third host honestly🤣

[@QueXopa79]

I learned about luxury through Lil Kim, Foxy and Jay Z …. I wore Versace moschino because of them in the 90s ❤

[@Cloudedmindzfilms]

I love her style. She’s amazing.🙏🏽❤️

[@pennymarmar]

At skipped this interview at first then went back as I was cooking dinner, wow im surprise her knowledge. Imma have to check out her book no joke

[@sirrmanning2769]

This is one BEAUTIFUL woman..

[@kota8927]

When I listen to Drake now, it sounds like he’s making music as a hobby instead of a career. Its not hunger that drives him but the pleasure he gets from simply making music, which makes sense for someone in that stage of their life. I still enjoy the music.

[@shandobombs]

bruh he legit on top why would he stoop down to relate to yall

[@KingB440]

Really good convo I follow her on X dope follow and the book is an interesting idea

[@AngelaHoward-k4j]

Soya looks great I am glad she loves fashion and Music artists look amazing in fashion and stage clothes 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@danielniidjababuxton721]

Solid, educative and informative interview for Us the Hip-Hop heads 😊

[@KeonteTV]

The Funny this here is the Drake was like "Was this interview planned? Who is this?" as a joke, and quite frankly this is going into my vault as one of the best breakfast club interviews... like a pure interview, she dropped gems that I knew nothing about when it comes to HipHop fashion, you can tell she's truly a student of the culture etc. this was a great interview to be honest.

[@AngelaHoward-k4j]

Somya looks great l love fashion and seeing anyone with fashion and style I love thank you for the great shows and the fun and informative for all of us 💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺

[@AngelaHoward-k4j]

Thank you for having great gurst Sowmya and so many inspiring special guest and the discussion is hreat thank you so much 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺💜💙🌺

[@KingCush80]

A Biggie's Versace line is on one more chance remix...I'm clockin, ya Versace shade watchin ya, once you grin, I'm in game, begin. Dope interview

[@josephgreene4174]

Great conversation~

[@Qleverett]

Envy and C are clearly are in the hot seat so don’t wanna rock the boat

[@AngelaHoward-k4j]

Hi everyone thank you for the great shows and the fun 🌺💜💙💝🩵♥️♥️⭐⭐💛🌸🍰🥤🥤🦁🌺💜❤️❤️🩵♥️🌟🌟⭐💛🍷🍷🥤

[@angelahoward724]

Hi everyone thank you for the video and special Guests, Topics Blessings To You All Love Angela xoxoxo xoxoxo xoxoxo 🌟💛❤️🤗💖♥️👍

[@premiumpreparationmedia]

First got hip to her on Genius 🤝🏾 she solid ✨

[@marqcollins1792]

Good interview! this lady makes a lot of sense here about everything...

[@LIBBEL]

I’m glad I clicked this interview

[@adamneme4613]

Envy asks her about black labels and she pivots to rappers and Shady wear?

[@hgblanco17]

Biggie said Versace wear, Moschino on my b***** She whippin' my ride, countin' my ones, thinkin' I'm richest

[@lawrencejacksonjr9635]

Lol she liked Drake when he was half white with a nice white Jewish mom. 😂😂😂😂😂 message lol

[@alvinmachado421]

You missed the whole point, but I hope you can get it in few years!!

[@marilynt8676]

No she’s saying she liked when he stopped acting like someone he’s not like jay or Wayne and just embraced the fact that he’s half white and corny and goofy

[@BillyDee45]

don't waste your time trying to explain something to someone who has an agenda...this person probably writes dumb shit all day@@marilynt8676

[@tap_water872]

Critics ask for this deep content but they don't buy it. Drake knows this.

[@mega1media124]

Why can she drop a hiphop book and make money from it? Culture vulture.

[@endrykperez412]

My point exactly 💯💯

[@Thruthefiretogold]

She right side note Sade is on All the dogs by the way

[@TopShotta10904]

“I’m clockin ya Versace shades watchin ya…..” #NotoriousBIG

[@teddylong5823]

Oh look an educated, knowledgeable, cultural vulture 🤔

[@Pou1gie1]

@9:00 She lost me at saying that we (meaning she) gravitated toward Drake and loved him because he was half-Yt (notice, not half Blk) and had a NICE Jewish mom (no one ever says nice Blk mom or dad). Interesting... Biased much, anyone?

[@selenat264]

True

[@unclemoneybags1022]

Very... yet not surprising

[@cooldude87ish]

I think she meant it more in the sense that Drake was different - pointing out his different family heritage which Drake didn't shy away from in his early albums, it made him stand out from the crowd. Now look at him claiming to be a gangsta when he can't even come through in a battle with Murda Mook

[@369pendulum]

@@cooldude87ish What does being gangsta have to do with battling Mook?

[@ladyjewel2225]

I was stuck on that comment as well. Surprisingly, no one questioned that comment or checked her.

[@kwill215]

Amazing interview! Would love to see her on more

[@nuperancher3115]

She told no lie about drake

[@natturner534]

Anyone else think hip hop is too inclusive?? 🤔

[@super84man80]

WE Too inclusive

[@sincereizhere]

I get so confused when people act like jay first mature album was 4:4:4 almost every jay album blue print and on is on the mature side. Drake music is really for people who are outside, having fun outside and complaining about being outside.

[@kutfromdifferentkloth]

9:09 so she don't like Drake's Black side, got it🎯

[@marilynt8676]

Nah she didn’t say that. She’s saying she liked when he stopped trying act like jay and Wayne and was vulnerable by being himself which is white and goofy and corny lol

[@marilynt8676]

Drake wasn’t even raised in the culture. He was literally raised by his single white Jewish mom. I think she’s saying she liked when he stopped tryna act like someone he’s not. He’s half white and he should embrace that. And he did

[@LoopyLemon775]

She want the white side of drake 🤣

[@marilynt8676]

no one want that side lol @@LoopyLemon775

[@easmyer4164]

I think Drake is making music for people outside of her demographic. I see him relating to the current teenage girl population, maybe others.

[@jdtheuno]

No mention of PAC... ALL EYES ON ME double cd . 😮

[@gracejones6434]

Rappers do have their own brands. But they are doing it smarter now. It’s called merch that they sale at their shows. Great marketing and business model. Hand to hand. From business straight to consumer

[@godofthisshit]

@gracejones6434 How do non fans buy it?

[@friiyz]

One thing Drake def doesn’t like is people wanting to know too much about his private life

[@ilan2endi]

“Chaaarr”

[@giffondhall9214]

Who is this chick?

[@EsuMandusa]

This was cute! Enjoyed this interview

[@Lyrikhan19]

So everybody in the culture now.

[@gregarcher5332]

Good interview, dat girl good

[@AlexaThinks]

Geesh, she went off 12:52

[@Lil_bottega73]

Okay bruh ASAP rocky is not partner with these big brands, they invite him to the shows that's it 😂

[@simonsez1787]

She spoke nothing but facts on Aubrey 🤦🏾‍♀️😭

[@blackice3395]

Great fucking interview ✊🏿

[@CaneCarter-rl1gq]

Drake has had very introspective moments throughout his career tho she forgets

[@Javon1689]

Iheart needs to give envy his walking papers 📃

[@BenHarrismusic]

Versace shades watchin’ ya

[@MostLitV]

I respect her opinion but drake is way better now

[@clawbo19]

Nice mom, half white. Completely left out the other side. Language is important. These vulture!!

[@unclemoneybags1022]

She's a ex employee @ a her fam's gas station in Kzoo.... culture vulture to the fullest!!

[@letmelick]

Damn I thought this was drake’s BM for a second 😂😂. Uhm she on the Breakfastclub😮

[@Mr.357.]

I don’t know shorty but this Drake album hate gotta stop. I’m fuck’n w the album. It’s a good listen. I personally like 1-19 and First Person Shooter and Members Only are my favorites.

[@Robcbiz]

The 4:44 glazing is crazy 😂

[@mindbully]

Yeah, K Dot gave y’all that “mature” 35 year-old album, and all niggas did was complain about nodding off.

[@chapp5703]

The pink p9lo -kanye

[@marshalljackson3461]

I really like her!

[@SLCAK]

A quick scroll I thought this was Kimberly 😂

[@themoviebrotha1033]

She has the rap politics down. Never heard of her until now.

[@AngelaHoward-k4j]

So

[@leandroportillo1234]

Lmao so were they planning on doing interview with her or this because of the drake album?

[@blkcoverboy1049]

Too long talkin bout drake! 🙄 Talk hip hop FASHION

[@michaelsmith7895]

Her name is S.K I'm not even tryna pronounce it

[@kenshiroFNS]

Drake is crying in a corner right now

[@endrykperez412]

He's literally not, he doesn't even know this woman 🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@kenshiroFNS]

@@endrykperez412 yeah he does. He just asked her to meet personally and have a review 🤡

[@williammangus5526]

She fine

[@vondongaming]

Stop the cap they not parters they employees like Kanye

[@Lil_bottega73]

Facts

[@BBrrookkllyynn718]

Kanye could’ve been the Fashion HipHop Goat/Icon, if he could’ve just STFU. Biggie was a trendsetter & 2Pac was a icon! Lil Kim is the grandmother of female HipHop fashion. Virgil Offwhite brands is our black luxury brand!

[@donmacmilly]

Please don't speak on my culture outsider. Especially if you going to lie. Kanye sneakers are being sold out. We all are waiting on Kanye album. Go listen to Beastie boys that is more your lane

[@svbion]

Her whole take on Drake is wild. Just say you don't like the album. People are WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY too invested in celebrities, we really think we know these people enough to speak on who they are or who they should be. As individuals, we don't ever master ourselves but can speak on everyone else. I understand she is entitled to her an opinion.

[@andywarhol7074]

Listen nothing was the same is thee best album of all time period… and I even got nothing was the same tattooed on me… point being young drake and older drake are two different people. Yeah his new album might not be a classic but look at kanye west… his first 5 albums were 😮shocking they were so good… college drop out / late registration/ graduation/ 808 heartbreak/ beautiful dark and twisted… point being even he can’t capture that now and those albums beat anything anyone has ever done in rap period.. those 5 albums are better then two jay z albums combined and Tupac and literally anything anyone has ever written .. especially dark and twisted is basically like thriller and it’s thee only album that I can look back and say this man made a perfect album front to back.. nothing was the same to me was drakes dark and twisted … so far gone / take care / nothing was the same / if you reading this it’s to late … basically what I’m saying is that instead of focusing on how drake can’t do it anymore just be happy with the music he gave us.. views / scorpion etc… drake is the goat 🐐 her loss is one of his greatest achievements and I would put that up there with take care .. too many hits … he will come back and do what he does best.. take some time off and he will get back to it .. ❤

[@OctDaDon]

Ooooof "he loves the men" 😅

[@donmacmilly]

Smh something tells me I'm going to be that old dude screaming about culture vultures and hip hop gentrification to young black folk so hip hop doesn't end up like Rock n Roll. Seems like the culture has been sold.

[@paulwall5706]

👍🔥👍

[@nadinecamille]

Second

[@nickelbus7596]

Who?

[@Bright-menace]

Not gone lie shawty knows what she’s talking about props to her 👏🏽

[@adamneme4613]

Her answers show she's an industry person who removes hip hop from black culture. You should raise your standards.

[@tijan8948]

She's annoying me for some reason....

[@CB-ml6lj]

Dj Scamvy

[@williammangus5526]

444 is average at best man yall hov stans kill me

[@super84man80]

A POC narrating Hip Hop 😂 come on

That pocket shit is what started it.

She had some good takes.
