Episode 11: 99 Problems - Is Getting Older One?
from We Weren't Told Hosted by Angel Beswick-Reid
Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's. Threads was on fire this morning. Jay-Z showed up at The Roots Picnic — combed-out locks, dressed in the black Tims, fifty-seven years old and completely himself. Meanwhile Drake dropped three albums after two years of silence and the internet split right down generational lines. And I couldn't stop asking myself: which one am I? In this episode, I'm talking about what two rap legends taught me about what it means to actually inhabit the chapter you're in — versus performing one you've already left. In this episode: Jay-Z on that stage vs. Drake in his feelings — and what the contrast really means What Kendrick's beef revealed about authenticity that's hard to unsit with Why I have some Drake in me — and why I'm not ashamed of it The difference between feeling young on the inside and performing young on the outside Why growing into yourself loudly was never in the script we were handed Are you inhabiting the chapter you're actually in — or performing the one you've already left? Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time. Come say hi on Instagram 🫶🏽 @iamangelbr | @iamwewerenttoldpodcast
