And let's talk about Paul Wall.
He was recently on the Art of Dialogue.

Speaker 8To all of gossip out send Angelus speeling that yet.
Speaker 3What's up?
Speaker 2His way up with angela ye, and it's time for your yee t.
So let's start off with Paul Wall.
He was on Art of Dialogue and he was reflecting on the first time he interacted with jay Z.
Now, Paul Wall was Uncin's late registration album on the song Drives Slow, but he also wanted that song to be on his debut album, The People's Champ that came out just a few weeks later.
Well, Jay Z was president of Deaf Jam at the time.
Paul Wo was signed to Atlantic, and he said Atlantic talk jay Z into letting them include Drive Slow on his first album.
Speaker 3Here's what he had to say, and.
Speaker 9Jay Z cleared it.
Speaker 4Jay Z waved the fens, He waved all of it.
Speaker 7The only thing jay Z said was, Man, the only thing I want you to do is pay Kanye West whatever he charges for a beat.
So just to be fair, I'm not going to charge you a clearance fee for his verse, but to be fair for him, pay him what he wants for to beat.
So my interaction with jay Z was him looking out for me.
Speaker 2So all he had to do was pay for the beat.
He didn't have to pay any type of clearance fee.
That's a big deal all right.
Speaker 4Now.
Speaker 2In addition to that, there are rumors and I saw this in Star magazine that Kim Kardashian and Drake are dating.
And that is following some pictures that were in Italy these vacation.
Now, according to the Sun, fans connected the Dusk because Kim Kardashian posted pictures on Tuesday showing her with the lake behind her.
This is in Italy and she said Italy twenty twenty five.
But then there was also a real estate account that confirmed that Drake just recently stayed at that same place and it had the same matching architecture.
I looked at the pictures and they were definitely in the same place.
Now the question is, were they in the same place at the same time, you know, because it could be just a mansion that's popular for people to stay at.

Had you already liked the cousin though, because that ain't something that just happens.

Speaker 2Well, Wolf of wall Street is who he would revisit.
That particular character, Jordan Belfort.
Speaker 5He crushed that role.
Speaker 2He said it would be fun to do more Wolf of wall Street stuff.
Yes, he definitely like he was really on what was the drug?
Speaker 5Quailude him?
And Jonah Hill.
Speaker 3Jonah Hill was amazing in that role.
Speaker 5By the way, Let's not forget how amazing Margot Robbie was in that role too.
Speaker 2Yeah, and you know, Leonardo DiCaprio also had recently talked about a role that he wished he hadn't turned down, and that was Dirk Diggler in Boogie Knights.
That was actually Mark Wahlberg who ended up playing that role.
Mark Warberg did a great job in that role too, though.
Speaker 3He crushed that.
Speaker 5I can't say I've ever seen that movie.
Speaker 2You never saw Boogie Knights.
No, you got to see it, all right.
And Trey's Songs has settled his twenty million dollar lawsuits.
He was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a Miami nightclub, and according to legal documents obtained by Billboard, he reached a confidential deal right before the case was about to go to trial.
The plaintiff is Jahara Jeffries.
She said that he sexually violated her January first, twenty eighteen, at Club eleven.
The details surrounding the settlement have not been revealed, but her attorney has confirmed that the matter has been resolved.
She first sued him in twenty twenty for ten million dollars.
That is your yeet and when we come back, we have under the radar.
These are the stories that are not necessarily in the headlines.
They're flying under the radar, but you definitely need to know about them.
Speaker 3It's way up.
Speaker 4These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2What's up is way up with Angela yee and it's time for your under the radar stories.
And according to reports, Donald Trump's terrorists could push nearly one million Americans into poverty because of these taxes.
These import taxes actually weigh more heavily on lower income households, according to a study that was published this week by Yale's Budget Lab.
They said if these rifts remain in place after a Supreme Court ruling, that will increase the number of Americans living in poverty by as much as eight hundred and seventy five thousand.
According to the report, because patterns of spending differ across households, this burden is felt unevenly.
Terrorists disproportionately slam a low income Americans who already live paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to lose out on more of their income.
I kind of feel like you didn't need a study to know that no you did not.
Of course, if you can't afford it, then you really can't afford it now.
Now, in addition to that, I do want to also in this under the Radar talk about what I'm doing today actually going out to Orlando.

My dad knows I'm a hard worker and I have been surviving without his money for a.
Speaker 3Long long time.

And former NBA center Jason Collins, he was the league's first openly gay player, has been diagnosed with the brain tumor.
Speaker 3He is currently undergoing treatment.
Speaker 2The league did release a statement on Thursday on behalf of Collins and his family.

Friday will tell you what's out today.
It's way out.
Speaker 8Since with its relationship with career advice, Angela's dropping facts, you should know.
Speaker 2This is ask gee what's up?
His way up with Angela Yee?
And it's time to ask yee eight hundred and two nine two fifty one fifty.
If you have a question, of course, I'm here to help you out.
Hey, Kenneth, what's your question for?
Ask ye?
Speaker 4My relationship is real, real rockey right now?
Speaker 11Man, And I don't know if I need to leave where I need to stay?
Speaker 4Now?
Speaker 3Well, what's the problem.
Speaker 11Everything is just.
Speaker 6Something that's to try to put a better man till my woman.
Speaker 2Paul, Okay, well, but what makes you not a great man to your women that you need to do better?
Speaker 9I honestly do think that I need to slow down on things like drinking and things of that made.
Speaker 2First, okay, you think you have like an alcohol abuse problem.
Speaker 11You know what, no one wants to fact and that's.
Speaker 2How they know you have a problem when you won't admit it too, is what they say, right you, right about that now?
Speaker 11But you know, I just use the alcohol to kind of cold with the problems and things of that nature.
Speaker 2Right because you know, the first step to getting help is to many that there's something you need help with this, ma'am.
And look, I appreciate that you can call up here and be self reflective and know that about yourself, and it's not an easy thing to say, but just know that if you don't say it, you're not.
Speaker 4Going to deal with it, right about that now, right?
Speaker 2So I really suggest that you find a treatment center where you can go get help and don't feel bad that you can't do it alone.
Speaker 3It's a disease.
Speaker 2Just like if you were sick and you have to go to the hospital and get treated for it.
This is something that you may need to get some treatment for and they can honestly positively improve all aspects of your life.
Like you said, there's a root cause of this and it's something that you're using to escape from other issues that you're having and it's probably making things even worse.
Speaker 9You right about that, ma'am?
Speaker 2All right, well, listen, there's a lot of different places where you can go to for help.
You can call one eight hundred sixty six to help, but when I promise you, it's a no judgment zone and this is something that you need to find the right tools to be able to cope with this.
I just know that your woman will also be very proud of the fact that you went and started to get help for this and be supportive because if she loves you, she wants what's.
Speaker 3Best for you.
Speaker 10Okay, you're right about that.
You know.
Speaker 2I think you know what you need to do, and I know it's hard to take those first steps, but once you do, you'll be glad that you did.
Speaker 10That's fucking I'm going to look into.
So I'm going to look into that a step too, ma'am.
Speaker 4As far as we get.
Speaker 6Off the phone, things that nature I'm gonna look.
Speaker 10Into starting today.
Speaker 3Appreciate that.
Can you call back and check in with me too, please?
Speaker 4Imst definitely can now.
Speaker 2I would love that And if it makes you feel better.
The cost of alcohol because of these tiers is so high.
It's going to save you some money too.
Speaker 8You right about that, right about you, right about that.
Speaker 2Listen, we're about to start drinking plenty of water and being house y'all.
Speaker 3Thank you for calling.
Speaker 2And I'm really I pray for you too, because I know you can do this, all.
Speaker 4Right, Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 10Man please keep me your prayers.
Speaker 6Man, I will keep everything now.
Speaker 3I cannot wait to hear from you.
Thank you for calling.
Speaker 11All right, You're welcome now, all right.
Speaker 2Well that was ask ye eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.
If you couldn't get through, you could leave a message and ask whatever question that way.
And when we come back, man Jee Herbalt is going to be joining us.
He's got a new album on the way low herb so you know he's flashing back to the beginning of his career when he was a badass kid, and we're gonna talk to him about everything he's got going on.
Really a great interview, Gee, Herbo is always a good sit down.
Speaker 12It's way about to do this one of theos the famous women in radio audio.
Speaker 4We're talking about Angela.
Ye, you're way up with Angela.
Ye, please believe that.
Speaker 3What's up its way up with Angela.
Speaker 9Yeah.
Speaker 3And look who's in the building.
Gee, Herber's here with me.
How are you feeling.
I want you to clear something up that was said.
Speaker 2And I saw this headline on TMZ, and so I really because I know you're very tapped in with everything, and it says here that the headline is g herebro was in agreement with President Donald Trump sending a National Guard to Chicago.
Speaker 13See, they'd be trying to like take my words and take the stuff I say, and like twisted, I wouldn't say I'm in agreement.
They took that as like me trying to make a political statement, Like you know what I'm saying, I'm not political.
Like all I said was I'm just all for keeping the kids and the women saying I'm a product of violence in my city.
Speaker 9I'm all for like saving the youth.
Speaker 13I don't really give us about grown men making dumb ass decisions.
Speaker 9I don't really care about.
Speaker 2Like grown man making dumb decisions do come from the environment that they were raising.
Speaker 3We all do have to do better, and.
Speaker 2I feel like sometimes it is just a lack of like resources.
Speaker 13It's always a lack of resources for sure, And like that's why I'm so adamant about being a voice for the voiceless.
Like I didn't done so much of my city as far as putting millions of dollars in the city between Like me and my brother McKinley Nelson, like we done really gave back tenfold when it came to just being somebody that's gonna be on the forefront when it comes to making a difference.
That's why I speak out about mental health and gun violence and all this stuff because I come from that.
I'm not a Trump supporter or nothing like that.
I'm not political at all, to be completely honest with you for real.
So it's like I was just saying, whatever gonna stop the violence in my city.
It's certain people in Chicago, like they don't really give a about the police.
They're not scared of about scared of the police, for real.
So it's like if the National Guard standing on the corner gonna stop somebody from shooting a block up, I don't care.
Speaker 9I'm cool.
Speaker 2I saw somebody went on Live and was like and they put up this story and they were like, don't try that in Chicago, because let me tell you something.
We not going for that.
I don't know if you saw that, yeah saying that, and he was like, this is a different place.
Speaker 9That's somebody saying that.
Speaker 13Who's going to be in the house who ain't never did nobody or never not got probably no tough bone in his body.
Speaker 9They just want to go viral on the internet.
Speaker 3Right now, I'm talking to g Herbo.
Speaker 2He's got new music out his new app and he's got an album on the way, a little herb.
You know, you have some of the funniest moments on social media too.
I remember seeing somebody and you were like in the background and they was like fake filming themselves, but they was really filming you.
Speaker 9Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that was recently.
Matter of fact, Yeah that recently.
Speaker 5I shot a video.
Speaker 9I don't even know who that guy was.
Speaker 2It's so weird that, but it went viral.
It's like, yo, if you want to take a picture with him, just.
Speaker 13Say, like, I feel like he was recording.
And then I said so when I seen him, you look up.
Yeah, I'm like, what's up?
You feel what I'm saying.
I don't get why people do that, man, that's so weird.
They just asked me, Yeah for sure, Like, uh what that was probably like a week ago.
I was in Philly, Me and my security was like having a debate.
They thought I was arguing with my girl.
Speaker 3I saw that that somebody felt that.
Speaker 13They thought I was arguing with Tana, but I wasn't even to argue with her.
They walked up on it.
Speaker 9Tana was tapping me, trying to tell me like let the window.
Speaker 13Up, like you arguing and you yelling and fans outside recording you, like, let the window up.
She told me at least three or four times before that girl walked up to me.
Speaker 9It was like let the window up.
Speaker 3And then the other thing that always comes up is you and Faara Hun.
You were like, whoever did this is up?
Speaker 13That was his fault.
I'm gonna be completely honest with you.
I was still drunk from the night before, leaving the club, trying to talk to eight in the morning, Man, nine, am I guarantee you I was leaving the club at probably five six?
He call him like, yeah, the minister.
They called me to what they wanted like, Man, I'm like, bro.
Speaker 10What you mean?
Speaker 13Like I gotta go away?
I don't know how my arm did that I don't remember, man.
All I know is I was still drunk at the table at the minister like, yeah, man.
Speaker 5What's love?
Speaker 3Respect every now and none?
Speaker 2That picture just pop up, Yeah, and it's always funny when you see it.
Speaker 3Gee, Herbo's here.
We got more with him when we come back.
Speaker 2He goes everywhere with his conversation, super honest and transparent.
Speaker 3It's way up.
Speaker 4Look, you want to know my name, Angela?
Speaker 3What's up?
Speaker 2Its way up with Angela.
Ye, and g Herbo is here with us today.
We're talking about his new music.
He's got an album on the way, a little herb, but he's.
Speaker 3Been through a lot.
Now let's talk about this song, went Legit, Yeah, banger, appreciate it.
It really paints a picture.
Speaker 2But we got to ask you, like the deeper questions about you know, what was going on in certain parts, Like my.
Speaker 13Music has always been a form of characture.
I really feel like I was fresh off of a long paragraph reading tie in the Texas somewhere.
Speaker 3She must have said, that's why you started a song like that.
Speaker 13And that's exactly where I started it like that, Like, I guarantee you I could bet my bottom dollar that me and he was argued before I went in the studio every day, some new issues before with my kid right now, but life still lick lying down to half a million dollars whip.
I wasn't trying to create that song.
I wasn't trying to create a hit record.
Like we were just in the studio and they told me the rap and that was the first thing I could think of when it just turned out.
Speaker 9Like how it turned out.
Speaker 3Right now, I'm talking to g Herbo.
He's got new music out.
Speaker 2His new app and he's got an album on the HERB.
You know, you beat like a lot of the odds too, just in a so many different situations, definitely.
I know you said you went to rehab twice, and they do say people when they go to rehab, they normally don't care a habit the first time they go.
It does require and some people also go to rehab and don't want anyone to know about it.
Speaker 13It was good for me, I really I did good the first time I went to rehab though, like I think I went in two thousand and seventeen or something like that, and I was cleaned for like a year, and then I lost my best friend and I relapsed, right, I only want to get the most of me talking about it, But like, I just felt like I experienced so much stuff.
Speaker 9I've been losing friends since I was in middle school.
Speaker 13And I was at a point of my life where I felt successful.
I had just had my first kid, I was on tour, like you know, I had moved out of Chicago, and I felt like, Man, I don't even gotta be in this no more longer I look over my shoulder.
Speaker 9I don't got to carry a gun.
I felt like I was just getting.
Speaker 13To the point where I could make money and pull my people closest to me out of it.
And I lost one of my best friends who I felt like was gonna be a part of that when I have felt like I know was gonna be a part of that journey and be with me.
Like that was one of the main people I wanted to save his life, you see what I'm saying, Like I wanted to get him out of Chicago, get him in LA with me, and show him his lifestyle.
Because I first started doing music when I was like sixteen fifteen, going on the road doing shows seventeen eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 9He never would come to me like he always wanted to be in the hood.
Speaker 13When I've started doing shows and getting famous, like everybody wanna come, Like when you gotta show, I wanna come.
Speaker 9I wanna come.
Speaker 13People I don't even want to come, wanna come like, And I used to have to beg him and come, and he had never come.
