Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. You're rolling? But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News.

I'm Seth Done of CBS News, listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. December 12th, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show with show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in and thank you for coming out. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Let's do it, everybody. Let's make a show.
Starting point is 00:01:10 I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is here to talk about her new music which has critics and fans raving. So Lange Nose is here everybody. So excited. Also on tonight's episode, Santa Claus is on the naughty list, why promposals are dangerous, and Donald Trump fights with a child. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with some archaeology news. Every year we learn more about our past as human beings. And a new discovery in Indonesia might mean that our past is much older than we thought.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Archaeologists are amazed and excited by the discovery of prehistoric cave art recently found in Indonesia. Cave art, being studied by Griffith University academics Adam Brum and Max Orbert, could be the oldest ever discovered. It shows this incredible hunting scene which might have spiritual connotations. The big concern now is that the Sulawesi artwork could vanish. It's a real tragedy. This image is peeling away off the wall essentially. It's flaking off.
Starting point is 00:02:16 They could be gone within our own lifetime. So stop touching it. This art lasted 44,000 years and then these guys show up like, oh now it's in danger, ah look at that. It's just chipping a while. Look when I scratch it comes right off. We got to do something, Mike, bring the sandblaster. You know what I really love about discovering ancient art in a cave is that it shows that cavemen were more creative than we think and also shows that they didn't give a shit about their security deposit. Yeah, they're just like, screw it, we got no heat, no water.
Starting point is 00:02:49 I'm drawing on the walls. And I'm always impressed that scientists can date exactly how old these paintings are. You know, it must be like a really crazy chemical analysis. Or they just sort in the background of one of Bernie Sanders' childhood photos. It could be that. It could be that. He was seven there. But let's move on. To high school proms. It's that time of the year when young people work up the courage to get rejected by
Starting point is 00:03:15 someone who didn't even know they exist. And for one young man, his prom proposal took a really unexpected turn. A Carson City teen regained the full use of his hand, but it came at the expense of another one of his body parts. Doctors detached Aidan Atkins' index toe and used it to recreate a thumb. Aiden says he wasn't able to use the thumb. He saw it off, well, because he couldn't find it. He lost his thumb trying to make his girlfriend an invitation to prom. Aidan says the accident happened so fast that he didn't have time to react.
Starting point is 00:03:47 He says he's thankful. It wasn't much worse. God has a plan for everything. He does it for a reason. There's a story for everybody and I believe that this is my story. Wow. Yo, man, kudos to that guy, that is an amazing story. Like, I'm glad the doctors were able to give him his hand back, and I'm genuinely impressed at his great attitude. Like, he had to replace his thumb with a toe,
Starting point is 00:04:11 but he's still like, you know what, life goes on. Yeah, I get a pimple on my forehead, and I'm like, I'm gonna die. Don't look at me. And guys, you gotta admit, science is amazing, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, admit, science is amazing. Because I didn't know doctors could put your toe on your hand and it would work as a finger. Because that basically means that our toes are replacement fingers. Right?
Starting point is 00:04:34 Yeah, you know what it's like? It's like when a shirt comes with extra buttons sewn in. That's what God designed. If we lose a finger, we can just be like, oh well, seven more to go. And in some ways, it might even be better having some of your fingers be toes, you know? Like now you can get a manny pettie at the same time. And by the way, what an upgrade for that toe. Can we admit that? Yes?
Starting point is 00:04:57 I bet all the other toes must have thrown it a huge going away party. justed just like just like like like like like like like like like like like just like like like like just like like just like like. Did to to to to to their. Did their. to to to to their. their. to to their. to to to to their. to to their. to toe. toe. their. toe. their. toe. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to. their. to big time? He's gonna be a finger! Yeah! Don't forget us when you're holding things, Minnie. Don't forget us. He's like, I'll come back, guys. I'll help you clip your nails, and I'll tell you what the inside of a nose looks like. Yeah! I actually wonder if this works for other parts? Or can you use a knee as a shoulder?
Starting point is 00:05:25 I mean, it must be possible to swap parts because Donald Trump uses a vagina as a neck. I mean... Yeah, it's just like, sometimes I grab me by the pussy. All right, and finally, Christmas is just around the corner. And apparently for parents, there's a fun, new holiday tradition. Have you ever had your kids pose for pictures on Santa's lap? Smiles all around, right?
Starting point is 00:05:47 Didn't think so. Mark Strassman met a photographer in Atlanta who embraces the holly and the not-so-jolly. This is photographer Jeff Roffman's studio. In here, a white Christmas often turns blue. We have parents come in here hoping their kids will cry, and they leave disappointed if their kids don't their kids don't their kids will cry, and they leave disappointed if their kids don't.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Run, everybody. Run, run! Rothman was floored. Parents wanted their kids to cry. He had 7,000 photoshoots available over six weeks. They sold out in 10 minutes. Okay, that is so mean. Parents are making their babies cry, just so that they can get a cool-looking picture.
Starting point is 00:06:29 You know what I hope? I hope those kids get revenge. I hope in 40 years, they drop their parents off at a nursing home and then take pictures of them crying while the Jamaican nurse is holding them back. Yeah, that's what that should be. Just have their parents on the nurse lap, like just crying, they're like, don't leave me with this lady, I don't even know who she is.
Starting point is 00:06:51 It'll be like, her name's karma, bitch. And then she'll be like, actually my name's Gladys, but you're right, your daddy's a little bitch. This is a great example of how parents make their kids do things that they say they shouldn't do. Because parents are always like, strangers are dangerous. If you ever feel uncomfortable, run away. The kids like, I'm uncomfortable now. Shut up, I'm trying to get a photo, Timmy.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Like this whole practice of sitting on an old man's lap to get presents is weird to me. That's why I'm not going to let my kidskance tapapapapapapapapapap the old-fashioned way, by fighting to the death on Black Friday. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States, and guy who's just a surprise at what he's doing as you are. With the House Judiciary Committee formally voting on the articles of impeachment, Americans are still divided on whether or not Donald Trump should be impeached. In fact, when asked, 50% of Americans said Trump should be impeached,
Starting point is 00:07:54 and the other 50% used the survey as target practice. But the one thing most people can agree on is that Donald Trump is an asshole. That's why some people hate him. the the the the the tho thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho-I thi, thi, thi, thoom-i, thoom-in' thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoom. thoom. thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi, thi. thi, thi. thi, thi. thi. thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi's thi's thi's thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's thi's thi. thi Trump is an asshole. That's why some people hate him, and that's why some people love him. You know, they're like, he's breaking all the rules. Like, he's breaking all the rules. So let's catch up on the Trump family's latest shenanigans in our new segment. Look at these assholes. The Trump family has a long history of being assholes.
Starting point is 00:08:26 It all started in 1822 when Thaddeus Trump parked his horse in a handicap spot. But lately, you could say they've been stretching the limits of how big an asshole a person can be. Starting with President Trump himself, who has apparently had nothing better to do than pick fights with children. President Donald Trump is going after a 16-year-old girl on Twitter. Climate change activist Greta Thunberg was named Times as Person of the Year. She's been known to chastise world leaders for not doing enough.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Trump responded to a tweak, congratulating Thunberg by saying, quote, so ridiculous, Greta must work on her anger management problem, then go to a good old-fashioned movie with a friend. Chill, Greta, chill. Come on, man. The President of the United States is on Twitter bullying a teenage girl. Just try to imagine any other president doing something like this, huh?
Starting point is 00:09:21 Like imagine FDR doing a fireside chat where he just goes in on Shirley Temple. He's like, my fellow Americans, this little girl can't dance for shit. She's got worse moves than I do and my legs don't work. Also, also Donald Trump has no right to tell anybody to chill, all right? He is the least chill human being of all time. Like if there's anyone you wouldn't want on your meditation app, it's this guy. Could you imagine him trying to be like, inhale and exhale. Let the air rush into your lungs, like the criminals and rapists, swarming across the border, come in and take your jobs and kill your parents. In fact, your parents
Starting point is 00:10:06 are already dead. Namaste. I gotta admit, I gotta admit to Greta Tumberg's credits, she took it all in her stride. Because after Trump tweeted her to chill, she changed her Twitter bio to a teenager working on her anger management problem, currently chilling and watching a good old-fashioned movie with a friend. And that's phenomenal from her. And I'm not surprised, you know, she's 16, so she's used to handling temper tantrums from immature boys.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I get it. And it's not just Daddy Trump, who's making headlines right now. Because while he's beefing with kids, asshole Jr. is over here taking shots at even more vulnerable targets. A new report reveals Donald Trump Jr. went on a hunting trip to Mongolia this past summer and killed an endangered sheep. ProPublica reports the trip was supported by both government and Trump Jr. got special treatment. He reportedly shot the endangered Argali sheep at night using a laser site. Who is this guy?
Starting point is 00:11:19 He needed to use a laser site at night to take down a sheep? This is an animal so peaceful? to use a laser sight at night to take down a sheep? This is an animal so peaceful, literally just thinking about them makes us fall asleep. And he's coming at them like it's a raid on Bin Laden. It's a sheep! An animal so vulnerable it can't go outside without wearing a sweater. It's a sheep!
Starting point is 00:11:43 You killed a sheep. You basically went hunting in a nursery rhyme. Who are you? And also what kind of asshole wants to kill an endangered species? Like most of us don't even want to take the last nacho out of the bowl. And Don Jr. is out here putting panda bears in chokeholes. Go to sleep. Now look, it's obviously not great karma for Little Bo Creep to be killing off a species. So you would think maybe the Trumps could make things up to the universe with their family charity, except this family is so cartoonishly villainous. They even do charity like assholes. Well, President Trump will be paying up to $2 million to charities to satisfy his settlement
Starting point is 00:12:22 of a New York State lawsuit over his misuse of charitable funds at the Trump Foundation. The president was accused of illegally using money from the Trump foundation to help his 2016 campaign. Also as a part of that settlement, the president was required to acknowledge his misuse of the funds, his children to undergo training about misusing charity funds and they must report to the Attorney General if they ever create a new charity. Yeah, you heard that right. The president had to pay two million dollars because he stole money from his own charity. Yeah, he used charity money to make political donations, to settle lawsuits involving
Starting point is 00:12:58 his businesses and he even bought a painting of himself to hang at his own resort. Like if Trump weren't rich, he'd be one of those people who pretend that they're dying just to start a go fund me. You know? You'd be like, hey guys, the doctor says I've got Ebola burculitis in my lorax. And the only thing that can make me better is to own a giant picture of my own dumb face. Now as you heard, Trump doesn't just have to pay $2 million.
Starting point is 00:13:25 The court also ordered his three older kids to attend a training session on how to not steal from a charity. Yeah, and you might be wondering what that training would even look like, but wonder no more because we got our hands on the video. And now the New York State Guide to Avoiding Charity Abuse. Don't steal from a fucking Charity, asshole. This has been the New York State Guide to Avoiding Charity Abuse. So informative.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Let me right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at, that's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News, listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. Welcome back to the day's show.
Starting point is 00:14:40 You know, here at the show, we're always looking at studies to see how they can improve our lives. And lately, there have been several new studies looking at the workplace. So to help us figure out what these studies mean, we turn to our senior studies correspondent, Dulce Sloan, everybody. Wow! Hello. Dulse, thank you so much for joining us and helping us break down these workplace studies. Well, I'm perfect for the job because I'm a model employee. You're a model employee?
Starting point is 00:15:14 I'm glad we agree. All right, let's get into it. The first study says that half of workers have quit a job because of a bad boss. What do you think about that? I think these are some soft-ass people. You're going to quit a job because you don't like your boss? I make my boss quit because of me. No.
Starting point is 00:15:33 No. When I worked the best by, my boss left because I was Airbnb in his office on weekends. And who are these people anyway? Well, the study actually says that one of the highest rates of people quitting is in Miami. Well, of course, it's either to quit a job in Miami. There's beaches and titties on every corner. That's ditties not built for working, it's built for twirking. I dare you to try to thatry that shit in New York. You don't like your boss yelling at you, but guess what?
Starting point is 00:16:06 Now your ten roommates are gonna cut your ass out because you can't make rent. Do you have ten roommates? Man, please, I'm on TV, I got six. I guess that's better. All right, let's move on to this next workplace study. It's really inspiring. It says that 90% of employees come into the office even when they have a cold or the flu and I'm impressed by these people. And I hate these people. Because they come into the work and they make the rest of us sick. And the worst part is they act like they're not sick.
Starting point is 00:16:37 But you know you're sick Jeff okay? You went through a box of tissues in an hour, so if you weren't blowing your nose and I need to see your browser history. No. But, but, but to say, to be fair, I think people are coming in because they want to help get work done. Oh, please. Who are these heroes who think the office can't survive without them? Keep your coughing ass at home, Karen. Ain't nobody looking for you? Ain't nobody putting your ass on a milk carton, okay? Stay home, you sick bastard. Wow, so much anger. I wasn't expected. All right, let's just move on to this final study.
Starting point is 00:17:15 You can't get mad at this one. This study has found that daydreaming, daydreaming at work can actually make you better at your job. Yeah, Trevor, I'm not surprised by this. I daydream all the time. That's why I'm so good at my job. Well, yeah, but technically, Dulce said, those are on daydreams. I saw you. You just sleep in the break room for like three hours.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Listen, that's because I was having a Idisris elvitop but a unicorn bottom, right? And I'm fine with that because a unicorn Idris is better than no Idris at all, right? But then my ex-boyfriend Lamar shows up and he says I have to kill Idris or the world's going to blow up. Now usually Lamar's full of shit, but I knew he was tell the the the truth the truth the truth the truth the truth the truth the truth the truth he's telling the truth because he was also my grandma, right? So I get a knife and I go at Unicorn Idris and I'm about to stab him, but then he leans in to give me the most seductive kiss. And then? And then my boss woke me up.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Now we both don't know the end of Negro. So if you excuse me, I'm going to go back into the break room. And I'm to find th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi I'm going thi thi thin' thin' thin' thin' thus thin' thi the thus thus thus thus thus thus the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I'm going th. I'm going th. I'm going th. I'm going th. I'm going the. I'm going the. I'm going the. I'm going the. I'm going the. tean. tean. tean. tean. tean. tean. tean. theanneeanneeanneeannee. I'm going to go back into the break room. And I'm going to find out if I get that Idris' Unicorn Dick. Go say Sloan, everybody. Come on right back. Let me know how it goes, to say good luck. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is a Grammy-award-winning singer, songwriter, and visual artist who just released the director's cut of the performance art film for her album When I Get Home.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Please welcome, Salangno's! Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having. It is such an honor to have you on the show. Not just because I'm a big fan of your music, but I'm a fan of how, like just how you've created your music, you know, like you're one of the few artists where it feels like you make what you want to make just because you want to make it. It's a riskier choice, it takes more time. Like where do you think you got that from?
Starting point is 00:20:10 In a world where so many people go, what's commercial, what sells the best? You went, I'm just going to make amazing music. And it actually has turned into a commercial hit as well. Thank you. I think so much of my work is about, tha, tha, thia. thi. thi. I, thi. I, thi. I, thi. I, thi. I, thi. I, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, where, where, where, where, where thi, where thi, where thi, where, where thi, where thi, where thi, where thi, where thi, where thi, where thi, where thi, where thi, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where where, where, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toe. toe. toe. toe. Where toe. Where to to thi. Where thi. Where thi. Where thi. Where thi. Where thi. Where thi. I think as a young girl I felt the sense of absence of home. You know I started actually dancing for Destiny's Child when I was 13. Wow. And so a lot of my life, the early years of my life was spent in tour buses and venues and airports and even paying attention to sort of the architectural language in these spaces, these spaces became my home. So a lot of my work is really about creating universes, you know, I'm trying to
Starting point is 00:20:48 create cities on stage. I'm trying to leave behind worlds for young black girls really to discover 10 and 20 years from now and I think a lot of the courage just comes from seeing and creating work that I wanted to see when I was a young girl. It's interesting that you say your music has been touched by the life that you've lived and where you've lived it because you know this album in particular when I get home is beautiful when you listen to it, but I truly appreciate that you've created the short film that goes with it because it's very rare that you get a visual representation of what your mind couldn't even comprehend.
Starting point is 00:21:25 It feels like it's architecture, whilst at the same time being about choreography, it feels like it's modern art, whilst at the same time being about like Houston, Chopped and Screwed. It's a combination of all music in a space. I mean, you see like imagery of cowboys, but at the same time in like a fine art space. You know, a Djibouki who loves your music here at the show, he described it to me as, he said it feels to him,
Starting point is 00:21:47 like, chopped and screwed meets MoMA. Oh, okay. That's what it feels like. Okay, I'll take that. Like, how did you choose that style? And then, like, why did you choose to signify this toluc-a, thapapapapapapapapapapap album, th album, tho, th album, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thi, thi, thum, thi, thi, tho, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th, th, th, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thrown, thrown, thrown, to, to, to to, to to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the thrown, like, like, I went to this church camp. And there was a woman who came at the last day of the church camp, and she came over and started praying over all of these young girls. And they started hollering and hooting and speaking in tongues and shouting.
Starting point is 00:22:15 And I was looking at her like, don't come over here with all that, you know, like, stay away from me with that shit. But she came over to me to me thuuuuuuuuu thu thu thu and I thu. thu. thu. thu. thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, th. And, th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thi. And, thea, thea. So, thea. So, theauu. So, thea. And, thea. And, thea. And, thea, thi. And she came over to me and I sort of surrendered to this supernatural. And so from that period on, I really actually developed a fear of power and feeling powerless and not feeling control of my body. Wow. And so going back home to Houston was really me reclaiming that. And the black cowboys and their stories and reclaiming their stories. I did a fashion campaign and I remember it was supposed to be about Americana and American Western culture. And it was all white men and I was like, I don't look like the cowboys that I grew up seeing in Houston, Texas, like my uncles and
Starting point is 00:23:01 the thousands of men who get on horses from Houston to Louisiana and do trail rides and saying through this film that our black stories are art, our everyday notions are art, the way we move and the way we speak and just elevating the experience and I don't know. I just feel like when I think about creating these landscapes that I want to leave behind and reimagining what the Coliseum could look like in 20 years with these bodies and these faces right these stories and these celebrations that's what I'm trying to achieve. I think you're achieving it more than just trying to achieve it.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Thank you. Really you are. Thank you. Because I think that is a big part of what resonates with so many people about this album, both in the visual format and if you're just listening to it, is that it is unashamedly black and it feels very specific, but at the same time it has broad appeal. You know, a lot of the time people think if it's if it's an album made from a black point of view by a black person about black people then nobody else can listen but I mean you've got accolades from Rolling Stone pitchfork the New Yorker Time and so many more who've come and said this is one of the best albums it's authentic. Was Houston a specific choice in that?
Starting point is 00:24:26 Was choosing like your home? Absolutely. Part of what you think makes it so real. Absolutely. I think growing up in Houston and coming back to Houston, I was able to find groundedness in sort of all of the things that I might have thought were, you know, mundane or that I didn't pay attention to. And coming back back and the the the the their and their and their and their and, like and, like and, like and, like and, like and, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and their. And, and their.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a, their.a, their.a, their, their, thi.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. thi. thi. their, their, their, their, their, ths that I might have thought were, you know, mundane or that I didn't pay attention to and coming back and appreciating the architecture, appreciating, which never lost, never left me, screw culture, the innovation between choppers and the way that we candy paint our cars, like,
Starting point is 00:25:00 all of that is innovation at the highest level of me. So being able to just celebrate that and pay homage to all of those things that made me who I am today, it meant a lot to me. One thing you are proud, are really proud to speak about being a part of who you are today, is a black woman. And in your music, it is beautiful how you express that, how you speak with and for and about black women. That is something that resonates with so many black women in a completely new way.
Starting point is 00:25:29 It was intentional, and you really drive it as a purpose in the album. Why did you feel that you needed to do it that explicitly? You know, some people be like, oh, I'm going to bury the message, like no. This is truly me celebrating the black woman. Why? I grew up in a hair salon. My mom owned a hair salon. I grew up with every type of black woman, from lawyers to doctors, to teachers, to the everyday black woman, to the side chick, to, you name it.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And these women were my aunties, they were my teachers, they were their reflections of everything that I wanted to be as a woman. These women cared for me, they nurtured me, they unapologetically were themselves, and they were my heroes. And so I was really fortunate to be raised by a tribe of beautiful, strong, phenomenal women. And everything that I do, I try to center myself and my purpose in the things the things the things the things the things the things the the the th th. tham the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi the theateateateateateateateateateateathea that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I do, I try to center myself and my purpose in the things that I needed to see and be fed as a young girl.
Starting point is 00:26:31 And so all of my work really, you know, I'm making for 10, 15 years from now, and the way that Augusta Savage, as a sculptor, me being able to see that work and say, hey, I can do that too. or even the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way that way that way that way that way that way that way that way that way that way that way that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that thatto see that work and say, hey, I can do that too. Or even the way that Kaleeese sort of, you know, really opened my eyes and her artistry, 10, 15 years later, now you have girls on Instagram, on the internet paying homage, when maybe they didn't fully understand at the time. Right. But, you know, I am a black woman, so the work will always be But you know I am a black woman so the work will always be
Starting point is 00:27:05 through the lens of a black woman. I think Weenma's popping, popping one. You definitely have created another masterpiece. It's beautiful to listen. The best way I can describe it is like just sitting with it, it's beautiful because it feels like it is how we think as human beings. You know, it's an exploration of the mind that just goes continuously. You know how we have multiple thoughts at the same time? That's how the music feels. It feels like you're thinking about many things.

But I know a lot of the time, artists go, like, I just want you to focus on this, so this is something I wish more people would pay attention to. Is there one specific theme that you think to yourself, hey, when you're listening to this album, I just want to feel the to feel to feel to feel create that sentiment of home wherever you are. For me, that involved me actually going back to the origin, going back to the beginning,
