from The Breakfast Club · host The Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts

On this special on-the-ground edition of The Latest with Loren LaRosa, Loren takes you inside one of the biggest cultural events of the year — the Roots Picnic. From witnessing Jay-Z’s highly anticipated return to the stage to exclusive conversations with Questlove, Talib Kweli, members of De La Soul, Jermaine Dupri, and Draymond Green, this episode captures the energy, history, and star power that made the weekend unforgettable. Questlove opens up about finally getting Jay-Z back on stage and the growth of the Roots Picnic from a small Philadelphia gathering to a massive cultural institution. Talib Kweli and De La Soul reflect on the family atmosphere and legacy of the festival, while Jermaine Dupri weighs in on the debate surrounding greatest songwriters lists and the importance of artists learning their craft in real life—not just online. Plus, Draymond Green discusses his appearance on The Roast of Kevin Hart, internet narratives, and why he had to be in the building for Jay-Z’s historic set. Tap in for exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, and a front-row seat to one of hip-hop’s most iconic weekends.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BreakfastClubPower1051FMSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
