I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody. You know she don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Hey y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa and this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news and all of the conversations that shake the room now, y'. All. I am gearing up, heading out this weekend. It is Friday, September 18th. I'm sorry. Dang, it's Thursday. It is Thursday, September 18th, but it feels like a Friday in my mind. I've been treating today like a Friday all day. Like, even the way I prepared for my Breakfast Club segment this morning, the way I left, like, I. I thought I was. I was supposed to fly out today to Vegas and I prepared my, like, house. You know, you want to leave your house a certain way when you come back. I, like, cleaned up as much as I could. I put stuff out the way my cleaning lady is going to come on Friday. So I, you know, I was, like, putting things away so she wouldn't misplace things or whatever. I thought today was the day, baby. I thought it was the golden Friday. And it is not. It's Thursday. I'm heading to Las Vegas with the iHeart team for the iHeart Music Festival. I'm really excited to attend. It is my first iHeart Music Festival. I will be doing. I'll be hosting the live stream for the Breakfast Club's Twitch account and some of our other social media accounts. So please make sure you guys are following Breakfast Club. Am on Twitch. Make sure you're following the Breakfast Club on, you know, of course, hopefully Instagram and all the things, because you will see me there live. I'll also be doing daily recaps while I'm there via my Instagram and my YouTube, as I always do. Y' all know, I keep y' all updated, but I'm excited for that. And I'll be bringing you guys news from there Monday. I am bringing my podcast recording equipment because every now and then I do get a chance to do some amazing, like, bonus episodes and all the things. And yeah, so if I can do that, I will, but no promises. I do want to enjoy the festival and just, you know, make sure I put in work. It's my first time. I want people to, you know, be like, oh, Lauren out there doing her thing. So we'll circle back on that. But in the latest today. Wow. It is September 18th. As I mentioned in Cardi B's sophomore album, am I the Drama is set to release tomorrow, September 19th. It's been about seven or eight years since Cardi B has put out an album. Let me see. When did you. So Cardi B released invasion of privacy, April 6, 2018. Wow. That was some time ago. And she has been, you know, she's been on features. Cardi B had an Amazing feature run with, you know, her hopping on fnf, the, you know, the Glorilla situation. Like, she's had a pretty great feature run. She's also dropped some singles up wap, which those two singles, huge singles, have been a topic of conversation and even some pushback for Cardi because, you know, the fans and the haters. It's a little bit of both the fans and the haters, you know, or the people. People with valid criticism. Right. Brought up the fact that up and WAP were released so long ago. Why is this being put on the album? But this is something that people do. People do it all the time, where you have singles that have been out that have done so well and you put it on the album also, too. Cardi B expressed that her fans, that's what they want. This will be the last and only time I'm going to address this WAP and UP or two of my biggest songs. My fans have been asking me to put them on an album, and people search for them on IOP all the time. They deserve a home. I let haters make me not submit WAP for the Grammys, and at this point, I'm giving my fans what they want. These two songs don't even count for the first week sales. So what are y' all trying to cry about? Do y' all say anything when all these artists pull out their little tricks and ponies to sell out? Question mark. Exactly. Now let them eat cake. Go cry about it. So, yes, am I. The drama is finally coming. It'll be 22 tracks. I will tell you guys that Cardi B is also dropping a music video for a song called Safe that she has with Kehlani. She just teased that on her Instagram. So it's giving rollout in Cardi fashion. Like, the videos are coming. She's been doing all the things. I just saw a video that Patience Foster from her team posted where they got the door dashers out and about on the bikes delivering things from the Cardi B bodega on Door Dash. It's. It's roll out time. It's about that time now. There's a lot of, you know, conversation right now around this album for Cardi, not only because it's been so long since she's put out an album, but I think people want to know what she's going to talk about. If you think about the last time Cardi put out an album, which was Invasion of Privacy, she had hits like Be Careful With Me where she talked about the cheating, and she Warned Offset and, you know, other music on there as well. And now here we are, all these years later, she's going through a divorce or Offset. Currently she is pregnant with her fourth child by her boyfriend, Stephan Diggs. A new relationship. She just had a baby last year, her baby, Blossom, Offset's daughter. And added to, you know, their family, even though they're not together, they still family. Cause they got kids together. But added to, you know, there's been a lot of change and a lot of new things in Cardi's life. You hear Cardi talking a lot now about, you know, mentally where she's at. I know we had patients on the Breakfast Club. And she talks about the time that Cardi took off of doing her album and she was supposed to do like a whole, like movie situation with Paramount and, you know, just needing the mental time to just be okay and even knowing to prioritize that. I think at this point in her career is important. But it shows you the growth of where she came from and where she is right now. But people want to know what is the subject matter? What are we going to get now? Cardia said, you know, when she sat down and talked to Kelly Rowland, she talked a little bit about not making the album too angry. She didn't want to go in too bad because when she say things, they stick. Now, interestingly enough, Young Thug, who's also been going through a ton of things in the last couple weeks, he was supposed to drop an album today as well. And, you know, and I don't think that there would have been anything wrong if he had dropped the album, but he's decided not to. So he was supposed to drop his album. You. I. Scotty, I know I'm saying that wrong. No, I'm saying that wrong. Okay. But he was supposed to drop that album. That album has been anticipated since he's. Since his release from prison after, you know, fighting one of the longest cases in Georgia State history. And he decided to push the date. Now, the rollout for Young Thug has been a lot different than I'm sure he expected. We went through jail calls. We went through, you know, having to see him publicly apologize to Mariah the Scientist for some of them calls, falling out with friends even further. Him sitting down with, you know, Big bank, you know, in out of Atlanta, the sit down interview that he did that we talked about a lot here on the podcast, it's been a lot different than I'm sure he thought it would go. But to be honest with you, if Thug does what he Needs to do with this music and puts a lot of, you know, because you can't. The interview was long. It's about two hours long with bank, but at the same time. And the show is called Perspectives with Big Bank. That's the show that young thug, he want to call him offset that young thug sat down with. But yes, there's a lot that he can talk about. There's a lot that he can divulge into. So same thing there. It's going to be pretty interesting to see kind of what he decides to get into and what he decides to stay away from. He dropped one track talking about people snitching and who's a snitch and you know, all the things. And it wasn't one of my favorite, honestly. I love Young Thug. I love his music. But I feel like, you know, hot take here. I don't know, I feel like he needs his. I mean, he said this. That's not even a hot take. He said it in an interview with Bank. He don't got his people around him, you know, no baby right now, no gonna. His creative process seems to be very much so inspired by the people around him and you know, what they're experiencing and what they're going through and you know, as brothers and friends, what they're overcoming. And he doesn't have that anymore. But I think there's still a story to tell. When I watched his interview, I feel like it, you know, it humanized him. But I think one of the. That I realized in real time is that a lot of our men in the black community who grow up a certain way, so you grow up in the streets, you grow up having to just like figure things out, not really having too much options and being everybody's option. You know, you just, you, you, you, you suppress things that you don't even know you're suppressing. And you don't know you're suppressing them because you're not used to dealing with them in the first place. So if he has come and evolved from that time when in real time he realized he was hurt, he said it in an interview. This is the first time I ever even thought about that. Take a listen. You said play with some hard ass thinking about. Cause you don't got my twin, bro. I don't got my friends, bro, who I be with every day. I don't got them no more, bro. And I ain't lose no to a tragic or now I lost betrayal, bro. You signing that one piece of paper, signing your initial on this One piece of paper could get me a life sentence. Like what? Come on, bro. I get a license. All this piece of paper you sign up, bro, just cause you trying to get home fast or you just trying to get to a. Are you just doing a certain thing, bro? And you already done betrayed a before, bruh. A piece of paper on that. A piece of paper. And all this men, bro, we brought us. Ain't no in the world making me go get gone to no bruh coming from that. And I don't know how much of the music was already made, but I hope that there are some things that have been recorded within this little small time period since then, because I think we'll get to the real, like, feel it in your chest type of music, you know what I mean? And I want that for Thug. Cause what I've heard from him so far hasn't been that it's been throwaways. And I. And I. I am a proponent of talent. I'm a proponent. I love. Like, I think Young Thug is one of the best out of the south to do it. And I know he falls on the shoulders of, you know, a Future and Andre 3000 and, you know, all these people, but I think he's a superstar. I think he has a cult following. I think he is. He's. He's a rock star. He's a rap rock star. But I do think right now, life is life. And his mentor is all over the place and the music is just not. It's not sticking. But I think if he digs deep, he could do that. So he's come out and said he's not going to drop the same day as Cardi. He's going to move his release date to the following Friday. He tweeted about it. He said, y' all know I wasn't dropping Friday. It's a ladies day with a red heart. Do yo do your shit. Cardi B. He added her, of course, I love to see that. And she responded and said, and when you come, you better step. Love to see it, love to hear it. I don't know, man. I just. For artists like Young Thug, I really want him to be able to evolve and grow through all of this. But I also think, if I'm being honest, how much of what he's been able to accomplish has been because of the things that we glorify that we're now telling him we want him to grow from. So what is the content? What is the substance? What is the subject matter? He has to find himself all over Again. But we'll be tuned in. It's new music dropping Friday. You know, we'll be tuned in, seeing what's going on. You know, Cardi B has went from a married woman to a divorced woman to expecting a new baby. Young Thug no longer dropping on Friday. But, you know, Young Thug has been, you know, fighting for his life. Literally was gonna spend the rest of his life in jail, released, comes home, has to disown a lot of his friends, you know, just starting from nothing all over again. Two artists who are kind of starting at ground zero in different aspects of their life. Dropping music. I'm Jorge Ramos. And I'm Paola Ramos. Together we're launching the Moment, a new podcast about what it means to live through a time as uncertain as this one. We sit down with politicians. I would be the first immigrant mayor in generations, but 40% of New Yorkers were born outside of this country. Artists and activists. I mean, do you ever feel demoralized?

To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective, There's not a single day that Paola and I don't call or text each other sharing news and thoughts about what's happening in the country.

It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for, like, hundreds of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and Confidence. That's Sierra Taler Ornelas, who, with Rutherford Falls, became the first Native showrunner in television history. On the podcast Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story along with other Native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic Con or the importance of reservation basketball.

I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech and culture podcast. There are no girls on the Internet. There are no girls on the Internet is not just about tech. It's about culture and policy and art and expression and how we as humans exist and fit with one another. In our new season, I'm talking to people like Anil Dash, an OG entrepreneur and writer who refuses to be cynical about the Internet. I love tech. You know, I've been a nerd my whole life. But it does have to be for something like. It's not just for its own sake. It's a fascinating exploration about the power of the Internet for both good and bad. They use WhatsApp to get the price of rice at the market that is often 12 hours away. They're not going to be like, we don't like the terms of service, therefore, we're not trading rice this season. It's an inspiring story that focuses on people as the core building blocks of the Internet. Platforms exist because of the regular people on them. And I think that's a real important story to keep repeating. I created There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.
