Speaker 1 (00:03):
I'm Honey German. My parents are Dominican. I was born
and raised in New York City. I love sneakers and
I'm a body positive advocate.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Carolina Bermudez Sony Nikaa wins it. But I was
born and raised in Ohio. I'm a wife, a mama,
and a worker bee.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
This is life in Spanglish. Buenos Dias, Carolina.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hey, babe, we are back for another one.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yes, we are. And I want to start with a
Tailor Swift quote. Out of all people, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Right, wait, why are you throwing Taylor Swift at me?
Right now? What's going on? Are you okay, honey.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm fine, But I want to tell you about this artist.
Right but I want to start with this Taylor Swift
quote that says, I am a massive fan of this
brilliant artist, and after getting to know her, I can
confirm she is the one to watch. Guess who Taylor
Swift was talking about?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Ooh, you know, I do know who she's talking about,
only because I went to the concert. But yes, this
is a validation from one of the biggest artists in
the world. You're talking about none other than Ice Spice.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The girl of the moment, Ice Spice, who happens to
be one of our girls who now found a BX Carolina,
this is nuts.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So yeah, I mean, I don't know too much about her,
and I've been very honest with honey, because I said
to her, I was like, you know, I'm not I'm
not in that space you know where I used to be,
where I used to be able to like research every
artist that I heard and I loved, you know what
I mean, Like I can appreciate her and I know
who she is, but I just don't know too much
about her. But I'm ready to discover her with you guys.
(01:37):
And if you're listening right now, you've got kids, you
got nieces, nephews, cousins. All of them know about Ice Spice.
So we're about to put you on and you're about
to sound like, you know, the most knowledgeable, coolest dea
on the planet.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah for real. These parents have been like, oh, I
know who that is. They're about to do the TikTok
with the kids. You know, she started wrapping in twenty
twenty one, Carolina, that was just two years ago. It's
not and this girl is a superstar. Like when you're
getting a co sign from people like Nicki Minaj and
Taylor Swift. And you've only been in the game two years.
(02:12):
Every single night, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
You never know.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
But you know what, Like the thing about ice spice
that is interesting is that even Mark Grossman, my white
Jewish husband, the other day we were talking about it.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He was like, oh, he's like She and her mood
I said, how on earth do you know this? Mark?
And I am still in you is lying?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Mark, than not? I swear to you to you know.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
He was saying, we were talking about the songs that
we were going to put on our sons iPod like
not iPod, but they can take like a music player
to to camp. And he was like, we have to
go through the music, you know, because like they can't
take anything with like a lot of profanities and stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And then Mark was telling me how he.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Was driving with the kids the other day and they
knew all the words to ice Spice, And I said,
how do you know about ice spicy? He goes, oh,
goes She and her mood I said, stop it right now.
When you've reached Mark Grossman level, you know you made it.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It's Ana. She is a superstar. And you know much
respects to the black community. She's half Dominican and half Black.
Her mom is a Dominican. Ice Spice was raised in
the Bronx. Her real name is isis Nisea Gaston. I
don't know if it's Gaston or Gastone. But you don't
want to make one hundred percent Latina, you know me? Yeah,
(03:28):
I want to just snatch up our people and take
us with us. She's twenty three years old. She's the
oldest of five siblings, Cyndia. I can only imagine the
disrespect from her siblings. You ain't nobody you know my
siblings be right.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Oh totally.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I bet you any money that when she goes home
she is Isis. She is not Ice Spice at all.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You know, they probably tan up them curls on her
head like you know how her family is. But nah,
she is the girl of the moment. Matter of fact,
she is currently on the cover of teen Vogue.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
This is so huge.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I mean for an artist to come out like this,
and you know, I will say, like normally you hear
buzz and you hear rumblings, and it takes like a
couple of years. You know, I have to think that
TikTok had a lot to do with her success.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Not Carolina for sure. Yeah her, you know, her first
like real like pop up music was when her song
Munch went viral on TikTok Okay. That was huge. It
was everywhere, it was in the hood. We even booked
her for to do Powerhouse last year. You know, for
some reasons or another, she didn't make it to the
Powerhouse stage. But it's crazy because last year in October,
(04:38):
she was like a young artist and we were going
to bring her out at the beginning of the Powerhouse.
She did have the hottest song out here in the streets,
but she was still a baby artist. But what really
really took her to the next level was when she
did the Boys a Liar part too with Pig pantherist.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Oh I love that song. I love that song.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yes, yeah, that's total like and everybody who's heard it,
it's like an ear you can't get it out of
your head. Like I was making dinner the other night
and I was saying, just singing it to myself, you.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Know you can't that is hell ate it up? Yeah yeah, yeah,
forget about it. And then we got the Princess Diana
joined with Nicki.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Minaj, which is so wow.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Like both of these songs not only exploded on TikTok,
but also on the Billboard Hot One hun and that
sealed her as a bona fide artist. I was like, yes,
I Spice, cuz I've been booting for her since day one.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Well no, but this is the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So like you started off the episode by quoting Taylor Swift,
which you know, I feel like that is such a
huge co sign for her, you know, along with Nicki Minaj.
But you're getting two co signs from two major artists
and two completely different genres, which has to speak to
your talent, you know what I'm saying, Because it's like
somebody like Taylor Swift isn't going to like put her
name out there and have you come and collaborate with
(05:55):
her and be at her show, you know what I mean.
Like she did the remix to for Taylor Swift, which
you know, ask any artist and they want to be
on that stage with Taylor Swift because the exposure, just
the association.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
They want to be mentioned by Taylor Swift period. Forget
doing the remix or being on stage with her like that.
For Ice, Spice was a big, big w.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Right, But it's a big look. But then it's also
just a giant look for her.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
That Nicki Minaj.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You know what, some people will say she's one of
the greatest female and Caesar rappers of all time, you know,
I mean, she's really up there. So the fact that
she's talking about Ice Spice means that, like, this is
probably just mean. Do you think this is just the
beginning of what we're going to see for Ice Spice,
Because like reading that Teen Vogue interview, it sounds like
she's got plans.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
She's got plans, she just has to let loose a
little bit. I feel like she's still kind of a
little bit insecure. Like when I see her like posing
and moving and doing interviews, I feel like she's still
not I think this all happened way too fast for
her and she didn't grow into her stardom. I think
it just like punched her in the face once she
lets loose a little bit. But I think this also
(07:03):
stems a lot from you know, at the beginning of
her career, I felt like a lot of people wanted
to bully her, you know the hair. You know, it
was like, Okay, let's all like gang up on Ice Spice.
This is like what munch came out. Oh she's awkward,
Oh she's this, And I was like, I'm not feeding
into this because of the simple fact that she's a
young Latina, she's from New York. Let's support her less
(07:25):
uplift her. But I do remember that the beginning of
her career, people were trying it.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, like if for the people who don't know what
she looks like, you know, how would you describe her hair?
She is natural and it's like reddish brown, right, Like
what did you call it?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Like is that her natural color?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Clearly, I don't even know if that's her natural hair.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I'm so confused. You know. The mystery of Ice Spice's
hair is a whole nother episode in itself because a
lot of people question, like is that a little wig
that she wears when she has this short, curly hair,
because sometimes she goes into like long red. She always
keeps the red. There a pictures of her when she
was younger. I have seen them. She's just as beautiful,
(08:04):
So I don't think she's messed with her face or
well her body.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Brown hair, right, because I'm gonna saw someone that were
released that she was upset about, like the people now like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It wasn't the curly yet. No, I'm one hundred percent
convinced Carolina that the hair has a lot to do
with people's fixation with her. Why to be negative or positive,
but the hair has a lot. Her look is very distinct.
She is super fair skin and her hair is like
copper red and yes, super coyly. So yeah, when you
(08:34):
look at her, you're like, you know it's her, there's
no confusing ice spice.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well it's a look, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And then something that you were talking about, like about
her not really like owning or like knowing what I
have to say. I kind of can feel her pain,
you know, like and I'm nowhere near obviously a level
of ice spice. But like just the other day, I
had to get my picture taken for something and I
could not be done fast enough.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Like, there are people.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Who love to be in front of the camera. They're
like making love to the camera. They've been practicing in
their mirrors, And I am not that person. And she
strikes me as a little bit more. I don't want
to say shy, because like people wouldn't describe me as shy,
but it's just like you just haven't kind of like
cultivated that thing yet.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
She's definitely shy, and I feel like she's a little
uncomfortable in some spaces, Like even like she performs, she
puts on she's dope. Her energy is cool, but I
feel like sometimes you can see the awkwardness of like, somebody,
get me out of here.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, now, wait a minute, because I want to ask
you a question about that. I know that we have
to take a break, you know, soon, but I'm seeing
her perform from the beginning of her career to now.
I want to ask you about why she does certain things.
And I'm going to ask you that after the break.
So now, you know, you were talking about Ice Spice
(09:53):
doing the Powerhouse Show, which you know it didn't come
to fruition unfortunately, but you know, she was real suddenly
had another concert here in New York.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, she was at Rolling Loud.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
One of my mom friends took her thirteen year old
son because he's obsessed, like he loves hip hop, loves
you know, all of the music, he loves the culture.
He's like really into it, and his mom listens to
country music. She has no idea who any of these
artists are.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
They know what she was walking into.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
She had no clue. So when she came back from.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
The concert, she told me, she was like, do you
know who this artist is? And I said who? And
she told me she's like ice Spice, and I said, yeah,
of course, I said, you know, I've heard of her,
and she's like she bent over and wiped her cuchi
in front of the entire audience. I said, excuse me, what,
and she said, yes, girl, she said, I was not prepared.
(10:48):
I said, well, first of all, your thirteen year old
son's on TikTok casey and.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
All of that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
He is knowing somebody before.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
But like so when you so that's the whole thing,
it's like, you know, I think it's hard to kind
and the pinpoint what type of person. There's a lot
of mystery there to her because like, on one hand,
you're saying, like you know that she is a little
bit shy, that she hasn't gotten into her groove yet
with like the whole stardom and fame thing, but then
she's comfortable enough on stage. And by the way, like
(11:15):
this is not me shaming her. I'm just telling the
story for the sake of telling the story. Maybe she
turns it on when she's on stage, because I haven't
seen her perform ever, that's my question.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh one hundred percent, when she's on stage, she turns
it on and listen, I'm rolling loud. She had the
little Catholic schoolgirl mini's skirt. The cheeks was clapping. It
was a lot of cheeks, that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yes, she had like a little plaid skirt on. She
was telling me everything that it was like a cut
off short and then I was like looking up things
because you know, I wanted to make sure that we
were prepared for this.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Caroline is like I was doing my investigating.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I was doing my investigative research. And her dad is
not about it. Her dad does not like watching her tork, but.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know, it's what the kids do and she I.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Don't know if any dad wants to see their daughter's
work though, So.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I'm on dad's side there, But yeah, like I.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Guess he has a real issue with it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
She's only twenty three and she's having fun and she's
the big girl of the moment, Like, come on, let
her do her thing. But yeah, your friend, she should
have just been like I'm gonna fall back. I hope
she wasn't front Road because girl, you could see ail
of ice spiced skirt.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
They were close and she said, She's like, I didn't
know who she was.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
She was like, but now I know everything about her.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
She's see how kuchie print and everything.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It was. It was a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So you know, I think that maybe we'll start to
see her evolved because like a lot of people talk
that way about Cardi B too. When Cardi B first
came out, you know, Carti was doing a lot of
like you know, provocative things when she was on stage.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
You know, if we're talking raunchiness, Prti is like a ten.
Ice Spice is probably like a six. She's I don't
think she's doing it to be vraunchy or she's just
doing what is expected I guess of a female rapper
at the moment, because there are a lot of female
rappers out right now, and you know, we have Lotto,
we have the City Girls, we have Carti, we have Nikki.
Like it is over sexual and maybe she feels like
(13:01):
this is what I'm expected to put.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
On right right, But then also you know, you would
hope that somebody just does whatever makes them feel right
as an artist, you know what I mean. So like
maybe that's what makes her feel like she's commanding on
the stage, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Like, that's what I'm saying. I'm not here to shame anyone.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I was there. Listen, we're bigging her up. This is
all about I Spice our beloved after Latina from the Bx,
like they don't get no closer to home. Well, you know,
Carti is from the Bronx too, so yeah, I guess
we've had it before. But it just feels good. I
feel like she's humble, she's chill, She's like I love
(13:39):
everything that's happening for her. One thing that I didn't love, though, Carolina,
was when Kim Kardashian brought her to the house.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I was gonna ask about that because seeing this is
like how limited my exposure is to her. So only
when she makes like really big news. And I know
that North had her come over and do a TikTok
with her, right.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, which Kim Kim just deleted that like a couple
of days ago, talking about I never knew what the
lyrics were saying whatever, Kim, But yeah, I don't know, Carolina.
I felt the way like I felt like they rented her,
you know how you've rent like Elmo and stuff like
that for a party. I was like, I felt like
Kim like because it's like she was at the house.
(14:21):
I don't know, I felt the way. I'm like, I
don't want her there. She's our girl. Why is she
there with Kim doing tiktoks with Like it's like she
was hired to come to the house to do those
things with North because it's her favorite artist.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Which one? Which one did she do with North? Remind
me the TikTok that they did together.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I don't remember which one it was. They did everything
the house, but Kim was in it too though, right, yeah,
Kim was in it. Kim was one hundred percent with it. Now,
all of a sudden, I deleted the tiktoks because I
looked at the lyrics. I'm like, come on, and this
is like just two days ago. She just said that.
I'm like, wow, no, okay.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
All right, well, yeah, like you're inviting somebody over and
you're not going to research or like understand what they're
saying before. I mean, look, I don't know, I feel
like we really really beat Kim Kardashian down a couple
of weeks.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
We did, we did, Okay, fine, but I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
A lay off of Kim because I feel like Kim
needs a break. But no, you know what it is.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I feel like when you're in those circles and look,
Kim is a mom. She'll do anything for her kids.
I feel like I am the same way you would.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You would get you would get the boy's favorite rapper
to come over to the house if you had like
an extra mel to pay them.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Right if post Malone was available, I could pay him
in bud lights and Marblo lights because.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I know he written. You know That's the thing. It's
like post Malone.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Okay, Like, just not to divert the conversation, but like
my son is obsessed with post Malone. I actually took
Noah to the post Malone concert with this family.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
With the one that we're talking about. Price.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yes, Posty, I like him.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He loves postmone The thing about post Malone that I
will tell you is that you know I said to
my son, I said, I love post Malone for being
authentically himself. Okay, is I love the.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Act that post Malone is seemingly a great person. I
saw a video of him.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
There was a young boy with autism that wanted to
approach him, and the family went and they recorded it
and the interaction was just so beautiful and wholesome, like
post Malone won me over a long time ago, you know.
But I said to my son, I said, the thing
about artists is you can appreciate them and you can
love them, but you don't have to let them necessarily
(16:25):
influence you. Like so for example, you know, I don't
expect you to go out and get tattoos on your
face because post Malone does, but you can still love
post Malone and appreciate him, do you see what I'm saying.
So it's like trying to teach kids a lesson there.
So maybe what Kim did was like, because I listened
to Post Malone songs and I know what he's talking about.
There are some that Noah's not allowed to listen to
(16:46):
because I took the time to actually like listen to it,
you know what I'm saying. So maybe she went back
and was like, oh, maybe she was getting dragged on
social media for like having ice pice over and not
knowing what the lyrics were.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Saying, do you know what I mean? Like, I'm not
only reason that I can think of why she took
that down.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Well, one thing that did come out of it was
Kim did make her a Skims brand ambassador. Not that
Ice Spice needed it because she's out of here and superstardom,
but that was kind of dope. I liked it.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Oh she was in Skims too. She did a Skims run.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, after she went to a house. Then she did
a Skims ads like she did the pictures and they
posted her, which was super cool.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well you know what, and she's also like very on target.
Kim Kardashian is with like a lot Like you remember
when White Lotus was on and she got the girls
from White Lotus to come on and do Skims and
do like a Valentine's Day?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Did you remember that?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I remember that. Kimmy on her job. She did a job.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
She is on the on the pulse.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But like when it comes to new music, See, this
is the thing where I feel like new artists they
are fighting a really really tough battle because in the
article that I read, Ice Spice is coming out with
some new music. So she's got what four or five
bangers right that you can like officially say that like
(17:59):
pretty much four to five her introductory you know album
or does she have.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
An album out if she'd put out an album she
put out earlier this year.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yet got it.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So then with this next one you got Nicki Minaj
and Taylor Swift co sign. My question is why hasn't
she teamed up with Cardi b yet since they're both
from the same area, you know what I mean, Like,
I'm curious about.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
That Carolina, But if she teamed up with Nikki, there's
no teething. Oh hello, oh wait, so you think now,
oh that's it forget it right because they were like
four elemen enemies. Yeah, like the Barty Gang and the Barbs.
All them people do is fight each other online, oll
(18:45):
they I feel like Nicki Minaj saw something there as
a seasoned and experienced adult woman. She got it burst
Hell yeah girl, she said you I Spice Comey grabbed
her right by Curly Ham's like come here, I got
something for you. I'm gonna help you, you know, shooting
to stardom, And there was even a room. I remember that,
like Nicki Minaj has signed Ice Spice. But then they
(19:06):
backpedaled on it, and they're like, no, we're working on
a project together. It took a label that I have,
but she's not signed to Nicki Minaj. But yeah, I
feel like Nicki Minaj stepped in early and said, come here,
I got signed for you, baby girl.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Let me take you under my wing. Oh the streets
aren't talking.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Now it's over for a situation with Cardi, well for now,
for the time being. And I would love it. Imagine
a j Lo Cardi b Ice Spice collab, Lare Latina
from the BX, everybody just getting busy. That would be
a banger.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Well, honey, you just blew my mind right now. I
never even thought to put those three together. First of all,
I've been waiting since Cardi B came out for Cardi
B Jlo collab. But when you put those three names together,
heads would explode.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Girl, This would be a banger.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, we're gonna marinate on that, trying to make it happen.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, we need to make some calls.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
We're gonna marinate on this and then we'll be back
after this break. So something that you mentioned, honey, you know,
and not going back to Kim Kardashian, but I do
think it's really really telling that Northwest. So Northwest is
into ice Spice. Ice Spice makes it into skiins. I
feel like Kim is really just watching Northy and taking
(20:24):
her lead.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Of course, Carolina, the pulse is always in the.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Youth and they are on it, so you know, I
feel like the one to watch technically would be North
because North is really out there and she is like
sniffing out who the next celebrities are going to be?
Could you imagine? That's the thing I wonder. I wonder
what course North is going to take because she's been
exposed to so much in music, in fashion and in
(20:52):
like television production, all of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
This girl is going to be unstoppable and.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
She got all the money to make whatever dreams to
want happened. Like, North is definitely gonna be unstoppable. She
is her father, but she's being raised by her mother.
So let's see what the product of North is let's say,
ten years from now.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah seriously, But back to Ice Spice. So she mentioned
something about wanting to act, Like she said when she
was younger, she went to her mom and she wanted
to go to one of the performing arts schools here
in New York, and her mom said, no, I wouldn't
be surprised if you don't see her acting in some capacity.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Is it is gonna come? It is gonna definitely come.
I can see it already.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And the fact that she's already working with just these
like ridiculous artists.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Now. Is it true that her boyfriend is a producer?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yes, he is. Well, a lot of people are not.
You know, a lot of people don't know it. But
she does date right at USA who's a producer from
here from New York. Also, they met up at Purchase
while going to college, and they're the ones that, you know,
pop off her career. I don't have their still together,
but Riot and her did pop off her career. I'm
(22:06):
not going to take that away from him. He had
a lot to do with her takeoff.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well, you know what, I think that like she I know,
she dropped out of college, which she was very honest
and transparent about, you know, but she was like studying
communications and I think that that in itself has given
her a little bit of training on how I mean.
I feel like that was just like the small introduction
for her, you know what I mean, like understanding what
it's going to take to kind of be out here.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
But fame is just a wild, wild thing.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And it happened quick and fast and hard for her.
Sounds like sexual relationship I don't want to have. But yeah,
that's how it happened for her.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
So then what do you think is next to her?
I know that Drake shouted her out.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Girl, Yeah Drake. I don't know. I felt like Drake
was going to try to date her. I don't know
why I felt like it.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Doesn't Drake try to date everybody except for me. He
knows on taking Drake. Listen, I could be like your
big sister, honey, liten.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Worry drag.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Don't want no beef with Mark?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Okay, yeah he doesn't like Mark Rossman. I'm telling you you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Don't want to get hands He got hands, right.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You not want to see that man out in these streets.
He's in his mood. Okay, No, But I know Drake
co signs.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
So You've got all of these really legendary, awesome artists
that are like just on the ice Spice train. But
you know, sometimes I got to be honest with you.
It scares me when people have this quick, quick like
rise to fame the way.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
That she has, it's definitely big.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
But now I do want to mention a lot of
people were talking about how awkward she was at the
Mech Gala.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
The met gala happened in May.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Now I was I'm trying to think no, okay, so
I was on hold, which, by the way, the Mech
Gala is one carpet I never ever, ever, ever ever
want to do. I will watch it from the comfort
of my own home in my sweatpants. I love to
see it, but to work that carpet is brutal. You guys,
like you got to get there at three o'clock, two
(24:00):
or three o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Okay, shout out to a girl and curl. She did
it last year, and she did it this year for
that ByHeart Radio, and she's the one that kicks back
all the content to us girls. She beat it from
two pm to like one am.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I was gonna say, because you know, Rihanna and Asap
did not show up until eleven o'clock at night.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Okay, they dragged it.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I was so sick of them. I was like, really,
this is the time, y'all don't pull up.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Or no problem, Well, but I do know, but Rihanna's queen.
I'm sorry. I love her. She came. Yes, she is
my mother. I love her.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
But no, what I was going to say is people
were kind of like criticizing Ice Spice for her dress
that she didn't look like she like belong there. You
guys have to remember she was invited last minute.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
She look just out of place. Carolina, this has to
be a lot for her. Do you understand that meg
Gala equals Megastars superstar La Creme de la Creme when
it comes to celebrities like would been Frozen too, right.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
But when you get the call from on a winter
are you really going to be like No, I don't
feel like I'm ready for that yet. No, you're going
to call your team, They're going to get you address asap.
They're going to style you like as best they can
for that night. And you know, that's where I feel
like people need to give her a little bit of
a break.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
But I feel like she took it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Like I think that this young lady has a great
tough exterior.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
She's tougher than I would be.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Listen, she knows how to put on because she was there.
She did the carpet you know, she was playful. She
did interviews, and you know, she fucked a little awkward
at times. But I feel like that's just her. I
don't think her being in front of like a million
cameras it's her thing, it's her thake, or I don't
think she's comfortable, so that that awkwardness kind of like
(25:49):
throws some people off. But I understand her. Even talking
in front of ten people can be intimidating for many
of us, so I understand. I'm looking back at the pictures.
I love that she kept the reddish cop her hair.
She look good. People need to stop.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I feel like she looks great, and I'm super excited
to hear what she has coming up next, you know.
I mean, I think with the young artists like this,
it's shaking up the industry at a time when it
is like, oh boy, it's really difficult to even make
any kind of noise, you know. I think that she
is doing a great job of just being herself and
like putting it out there that like this is what
you're gonna get. This is the next generation. So for
(26:26):
people like me, it's great to learn about her.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Listen, it's a win for New York it's a win
for the Bronx, it's a win for after Latinas, it's
a win for Dominicanos. It's just an overall win for
all of us Carolina. Like she is one of mine,
Like she could be like, oh, I need somewhere to
live up, Like the guest room is yours meamore.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
No, I know, you know you want to see people
win and you want to see them do well. So no,
I'm hoping that she just makes good choice because it
sounds like her mom and dad. Her dad was an
an artist too though, right, wasn't her dad a musician?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, he's like an underground rap her, So.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Then he could probably really guide her and tell her
about the things that are right or wrong, you know,
And that's what you need. You really need the people
who are looking up for your best interest around you
because this thing I'm telling you, she is like skyrocketing
to start them.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And we're happy to help her and root her along.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah, after this, you guys can put on your ice
spice playlist and listen and be familiar, because I'm telling you,
the kids are all about it.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
They are obsessed with ice spice, the rice of Ice
Spice Carolina is something that I could not have predicted
when I saw her with her dainty dukes and her
took top wrapping in the Bronx when Munch came out.
But what this girl has has been able to do
in the past two years in the middle of a pandemic.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Hands down, she's so old that she has on everybody
is really remarkable.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
So we'll be watching out.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
She is one to watch and I definitely love that
we took some time to celebrate Ice Spice today. You know,

Don't be a munch. Lifens Bangulish is a production of
Life n Spanglish productions in partnership with Iheart's micro through
that podcast network
I'm Honey German. My parents are Dominican. I was born
and raised in New York City. I love sneakers and
I'm a body positive advocate.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Carolina Bermudez Sony Nikaa wins it. But I was
born and raised in Ohio. I'm a wife, a mama,
and a worker bee.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
This is life in Spanglish. Buenos Dias, Carolina.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hey, babe, we are back for another one.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yes, we are. And I want to start with a
Tailor Swift quote. Out of all people, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Right, wait, why are you throwing Taylor Swift at me?
Right now? What's going on? Are you okay, honey.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm fine, But I want to tell you about this artist.
Right but I want to start with this Taylor Swift
quote that says, I am a massive fan of this
brilliant artist, and after getting to know her, I can
confirm she is the one to watch. Guess who Taylor
Swift was talking about?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Ooh, you know, I do know who she's talking about,
only because I went to the concert. But yes, this
is a validation from one of the biggest artists in
the world. You're talking about none other than Ice Spice.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The girl of the moment, Ice Spice, who happens to
be one of our girls who now found a BX Carolina,
this is nuts.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So yeah, I mean, I don't know too much about her,
and I've been very honest with honey, because I said
to her, I was like, you know, I'm not I'm
not in that space you know where I used to be,
where I used to be able to like research every
artist that I heard and I loved, you know what
I mean, Like I can appreciate her and I know
who she is, but I just don't know too much
about her. But I'm ready to discover her with you guys.
(01:37):
And if you're listening right now, you've got kids, you
got nieces, nephews, cousins. All of them know about Ice Spice.
So we're about to put you on and you're about
to sound like, you know, the most knowledgeable, coolest dea
on the planet.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah for real. These parents have been like, oh, I
know who that is. They're about to do the TikTok
with the kids. You know, she started wrapping in twenty
twenty one, Carolina, that was just two years ago. It's
not and this girl is a superstar. Like when you're
getting a co sign from people like Nicki Minaj and
Taylor Swift. And you've only been in the game two years.
(02:12):
Every single night, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
You never know.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
But you know what, Like the thing about ice spice
that is interesting is that even Mark Grossman, my white
Jewish husband, the other day we were talking about it.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He was like, oh, he's like She and her mood
I said, how on earth do you know this? Mark?
And I am still in you is lying?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Mark, than not? I swear to you to you know.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
He was saying, we were talking about the songs that
we were going to put on our sons iPod like
not iPod, but they can take like a music player
to to camp. And he was like, we have to
go through the music, you know, because like they can't
take anything with like a lot of profanities and stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And then Mark was telling me how he.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Was driving with the kids the other day and they
knew all the words to ice Spice, And I said,
how do you know about ice spicy? He goes, oh,
goes She and her mood I said, stop it right now.
When you've reached Mark Grossman level, you know you made it.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It's Ana. She is a superstar. And you know much
respects to the black community. She's half Dominican and half Black.
Her mom is a Dominican. Ice Spice was raised in
the Bronx. Her real name is isis Nisea Gaston. I
don't know if it's Gaston or Gastone. But you don't
want to make one hundred percent Latina, you know me? Yeah,
(03:28):
I want to just snatch up our people and take
us with us. She's twenty three years old. She's the
oldest of five siblings, Cyndia. I can only imagine the
disrespect from her siblings. You ain't nobody you know my
siblings be right.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Oh totally.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I bet you any money that when she goes home
she is Isis. She is not Ice Spice at all.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You know, they probably tan up them curls on her
head like you know how her family is. But nah,
she is the girl of the moment. Matter of fact,
she is currently on the cover of teen Vogue.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
This is so huge.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I mean for an artist to come out like this,
and you know, I will say, like normally you hear
buzz and you hear rumblings, and it takes like a
couple of years. You know, I have to think that
TikTok had a lot to do with her success.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Not Carolina for sure. Yeah her, you know, her first
like real like pop up music was when her song
Munch went viral on TikTok Okay. That was huge. It
was everywhere, it was in the hood. We even booked
her for to do Powerhouse last year. You know, for
some reasons or another, she didn't make it to the
Powerhouse stage. But it's crazy because last year in October,
(04:38):
she was like a young artist and we were going
to bring her out at the beginning of the Powerhouse.
She did have the hottest song out here in the streets,
but she was still a baby artist. But what really
really took her to the next level was when she
did the Boys a Liar part too with Pig pantherist.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Oh I love that song. I love that song.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yes, yeah, that's total like and everybody who's heard it,
it's like an ear you can't get it out of
your head. Like I was making dinner the other night
and I was saying, just singing it to myself, you.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Know you can't that is hell ate it up? Yeah yeah, yeah,
forget about it. And then we got the Princess Diana
joined with Nicki.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Minaj, which is so wow.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Like both of these songs not only exploded on TikTok,
but also on the Billboard Hot One hun and that
sealed her as a bona fide artist. I was like, yes,
I Spice, cuz I've been booting for her since day one.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Well no, but this is the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So like you started off the episode by quoting Taylor Swift,
which you know, I feel like that is such a
huge co sign for her, you know, along with Nicki Minaj.
But you're getting two co signs from two major artists
and two completely different genres, which has to speak to
your talent, you know what I'm saying, Because it's like
somebody like Taylor Swift isn't going to like put her
name out there and have you come and collaborate with
(05:55):
her and be at her show, you know what I mean.
Like she did the remix to for Taylor Swift, which
you know, ask any artist and they want to be
on that stage with Taylor Swift because the exposure, just
the association.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
They want to be mentioned by Taylor Swift period. Forget
doing the remix or being on stage with her like that.
For Ice, Spice was a big, big w.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Right, But it's a big look. But then it's also
just a giant look for her.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
That Nicki Minaj.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You know what, some people will say she's one of
the greatest female and Caesar rappers of all time, you know,
I mean, she's really up there. So the fact that
she's talking about Ice Spice means that, like, this is
probably just mean. Do you think this is just the
beginning of what we're going to see for Ice Spice,
Because like reading that Teen Vogue interview, it sounds like
she's got plans.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
She's got plans, she just has to let loose a
little bit. I feel like she's still kind of a
little bit insecure. Like when I see her like posing
and moving and doing interviews, I feel like she's still
not I think this all happened way too fast for
her and she didn't grow into her stardom. I think
it just like punched her in the face once she
lets loose a little bit. But I think this also
(07:03):
stems a lot from you know, at the beginning of
her career, I felt like a lot of people wanted
to bully her, you know the hair. You know, it
was like, Okay, let's all like gang up on Ice Spice.
This is like what munch came out. Oh she's awkward,
Oh she's this, And I was like, I'm not feeding
into this because of the simple fact that she's a
young Latina, she's from New York. Let's support her less
(07:25):
uplift her. But I do remember that the beginning of
her career, people were trying it.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, like if for the people who don't know what
she looks like, you know, how would you describe her hair?
She is natural and it's like reddish brown, right, Like
what did you call it?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Like is that her natural color?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Clearly, I don't even know if that's her natural hair.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I'm so confused. You know. The mystery of Ice Spice's
hair is a whole nother episode in itself because a
lot of people question, like is that a little wig
that she wears when she has this short, curly hair,
because sometimes she goes into like long red. She always
keeps the red. There a pictures of her when she
was younger. I have seen them. She's just as beautiful,
(08:04):
So I don't think she's messed with her face or
well her body.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Brown hair, right, because I'm gonna saw someone that were
released that she was upset about, like the people now like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It wasn't the curly yet. No, I'm one hundred percent
convinced Carolina that the hair has a lot to do
with people's fixation with her. Why to be negative or positive,
but the hair has a lot. Her look is very distinct.
She is super fair skin and her hair is like
copper red and yes, super coyly. So yeah, when you
(08:34):
look at her, you're like, you know it's her, there's
no confusing ice spice.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well it's a look, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And then something that you were talking about, like about
her not really like owning or like knowing what I
have to say. I kind of can feel her pain,
you know, like and I'm nowhere near obviously a level
of ice spice. But like just the other day, I
had to get my picture taken for something and I
could not be done fast enough.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Like, there are people.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Who love to be in front of the camera. They're
like making love to the camera. They've been practicing in
their mirrors, And I am not that person. And she
strikes me as a little bit more. I don't want
to say shy, because like people wouldn't describe me as shy,
but it's just like you just haven't kind of like
cultivated that thing yet.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
She's definitely shy, and I feel like she's a little
uncomfortable in some spaces, Like even like she performs, she
puts on she's dope. Her energy is cool, but I
feel like sometimes you can see the awkwardness of like, somebody,
get me out of here.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, now, wait a minute, because I want to ask
you a question about that. I know that we have
to take a break, you know, soon, but I'm seeing
her perform from the beginning of her career to now.
I want to ask you about why she does certain things.
And I'm going to ask you that after the break.
So now, you know, you were talking about Ice Spice
(09:53):
doing the Powerhouse Show, which you know it didn't come
to fruition unfortunately, but you know, she was real suddenly
had another concert here in New York.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, she was at Rolling Loud.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
One of my mom friends took her thirteen year old
son because he's obsessed, like he loves hip hop, loves
you know, all of the music, he loves the culture.
He's like really into it, and his mom listens to
country music. She has no idea who any of these
artists are.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
They know what she was walking into.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
She had no clue. So when she came back from.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
The concert, she told me, she was like, do you
know who this artist is? And I said who? And
she told me she's like ice Spice, and I said, yeah,
of course, I said, you know, I've heard of her,
and she's like she bent over and wiped her cuchi
in front of the entire audience. I said, excuse me, what,
and she said, yes, girl, she said, I was not prepared.
(10:48):
I said, well, first of all, your thirteen year old
son's on TikTok casey and.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
All of that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
He is knowing somebody before.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
But like so when you so that's the whole thing,
it's like, you know, I think it's hard to kind
and the pinpoint what type of person. There's a lot
of mystery there to her because like, on one hand,
you're saying, like you know that she is a little
bit shy, that she hasn't gotten into her groove yet
with like the whole stardom and fame thing, but then
she's comfortable enough on stage. And by the way, like
(11:15):
this is not me shaming her. I'm just telling the
story for the sake of telling the story. Maybe she
turns it on when she's on stage, because I haven't
seen her perform ever, that's my question.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh one hundred percent, when she's on stage, she turns
it on and listen, I'm rolling loud. She had the
little Catholic schoolgirl mini's skirt. The cheeks was clapping. It
was a lot of cheeks, that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yes, she had like a little plaid skirt on. She
was telling me everything that it was like a cut
off short and then I was like looking up things
because you know, I wanted to make sure that we
were prepared for this.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Caroline is like I was doing my investigating.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I was doing my investigative research. And her dad is
not about it. Her dad does not like watching her tork, but.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know, it's what the kids do and she I.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Don't know if any dad wants to see their daughter's
work though, So.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I'm on dad's side there, But yeah, like I.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Guess he has a real issue with it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
She's only twenty three and she's having fun and she's
the big girl of the moment, Like, come on, let
her do her thing. But yeah, your friend, she should
have just been like I'm gonna fall back. I hope
she wasn't front Road because girl, you could see ail
of ice spiced skirt.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
They were close and she said, She's like, I didn't
know who she was.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
She was like, but now I know everything about her.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
She's see how kuchie print and everything.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It was. It was a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So you know, I think that maybe we'll start to
see her evolved because like a lot of people talk
that way about Cardi B too. When Cardi B first
came out, you know, Carti was doing a lot of
like you know, provocative things when she was on stage.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
You know, if we're talking raunchiness, Prti is like a ten.
Ice Spice is probably like a six. She's I don't
think she's doing it to be vraunchy or she's just
doing what is expected I guess of a female rapper
at the moment, because there are a lot of female
rappers out right now, and you know, we have Lotto,
we have the City Girls, we have Carti, we have Nikki.
Like it is over sexual and maybe she feels like
(13:01):
this is what I'm expected to put.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
On right right, But then also you know, you would
hope that somebody just does whatever makes them feel right
as an artist, you know what I mean. So like
maybe that's what makes her feel like she's commanding on
the stage, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Like, that's what I'm saying. I'm not here to shame anyone.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I was there. Listen, we're bigging her up. This is
all about I Spice our beloved after Latina from the Bx,
like they don't get no closer to home. Well, you know,
Carti is from the Bronx too, so yeah, I guess
we've had it before. But it just feels good. I
feel like she's humble, she's chill, She's like I love
(13:39):
everything that's happening for her. One thing that I didn't love, though, Carolina,
was when Kim Kardashian brought her to the house.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I was gonna ask about that because seeing this is
like how limited my exposure is to her. So only
when she makes like really big news. And I know
that North had her come over and do a TikTok
with her, right.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, which Kim Kim just deleted that like a couple
of days ago, talking about I never knew what the
lyrics were saying whatever, Kim, But yeah, I don't know, Carolina.
I felt the way like I felt like they rented her,
you know how you've rent like Elmo and stuff like
that for a party. I was like, I felt like
Kim like because it's like she was at the house.
(14:21):
I don't know, I felt the way. I'm like, I
don't want her there. She's our girl. Why is she
there with Kim doing tiktoks with Like it's like she
was hired to come to the house to do those
things with North because it's her favorite artist.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Which one? Which one did she do with North? Remind
me the TikTok that they did together.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I don't remember which one it was. They did everything
the house, but Kim was in it too though, right, yeah,
Kim was in it. Kim was one hundred percent with it. Now,
all of a sudden, I deleted the tiktoks because I
looked at the lyrics. I'm like, come on, and this
is like just two days ago. She just said that.
I'm like, wow, no, okay.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
All right, well, yeah, like you're inviting somebody over and
you're not going to research or like understand what they're
saying before. I mean, look, I don't know, I feel
like we really really beat Kim Kardashian down a couple
of weeks.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
We did, we did, Okay, fine, but I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
A lay off of Kim because I feel like Kim
needs a break. But no, you know what it is.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I feel like when you're in those circles and look,
Kim is a mom. She'll do anything for her kids.
I feel like I am the same way you would.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You would get you would get the boy's favorite rapper
to come over to the house if you had like
an extra mel to pay them.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Right if post Malone was available, I could pay him
in bud lights and Marblo lights because.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I know he written. You know That's the thing. It's
like post Malone.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Okay, Like, just not to divert the conversation, but like
my son is obsessed with post Malone. I actually took
Noah to the post Malone concert with this family.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
With the one that we're talking about. Price.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yes, Posty, I like him.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He loves postmone The thing about post Malone that I
will tell you is that you know I said to
my son, I said, I love post Malone for being
authentically himself. Okay, is I love the.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Act that post Malone is seemingly a great person. I
saw a video of him.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
There was a young boy with autism that wanted to
approach him, and the family went and they recorded it
and the interaction was just so beautiful and wholesome, like
post Malone won me over a long time ago, you know.
But I said to my son, I said, the thing
about artists is you can appreciate them and you can
love them, but you don't have to let them necessarily
(16:25):
influence you. Like so for example, you know, I don't
expect you to go out and get tattoos on your
face because post Malone does, but you can still love
post Malone and appreciate him, do you see what I'm saying.
So it's like trying to teach kids a lesson there.
So maybe what Kim did was like, because I listened
to Post Malone songs and I know what he's talking about.
There are some that Noah's not allowed to listen to
(16:46):
because I took the time to actually like listen to it,
you know what I'm saying. So maybe she went back
and was like, oh, maybe she was getting dragged on
social media for like having ice pice over and not
knowing what the lyrics were.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Saying, do you know what I mean? Like, I'm not
only reason that I can think of why she took
that down.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Well, one thing that did come out of it was
Kim did make her a Skims brand ambassador. Not that
Ice Spice needed it because she's out of here and superstardom,
but that was kind of dope. I liked it.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Oh she was in Skims too. She did a Skims run.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, after she went to a house. Then she did
a Skims ads like she did the pictures and they
posted her, which was super cool.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well you know what, and she's also like very on target.
Kim Kardashian is with like a lot Like you remember
when White Lotus was on and she got the girls
from White Lotus to come on and do Skims and
do like a Valentine's Day?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Did you remember that?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I remember that. Kimmy on her job. She did a job.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
She is on the on the pulse.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But like when it comes to new music, See, this
is the thing where I feel like new artists they
are fighting a really really tough battle because in the
article that I read, Ice Spice is coming out with
some new music. So she's got what four or five
bangers right that you can like officially say that like
(17:59):
pretty much four to five her introductory you know album
or does she have.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
An album out if she'd put out an album she
put out earlier this year.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yet got it.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So then with this next one you got Nicki Minaj
and Taylor Swift co sign. My question is why hasn't
she teamed up with Cardi b yet since they're both
from the same area, you know what I mean, Like,
I'm curious about.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
That Carolina, But if she teamed up with Nikki, there's
no teething. Oh hello, oh wait, so you think now,
oh that's it forget it right because they were like
four elemen enemies. Yeah, like the Barty Gang and the Barbs.
All them people do is fight each other online, oll
(18:45):
they I feel like Nicki Minaj saw something there as
a seasoned and experienced adult woman. She got it burst
Hell yeah girl, she said you I Spice Comey grabbed
her right by Curly Ham's like come here, I got
something for you. I'm gonna help you, you know, shooting
to stardom, And there was even a room. I remember that,
like Nicki Minaj has signed Ice Spice. But then they
(19:06):
backpedaled on it, and they're like, no, we're working on
a project together. It took a label that I have,
but she's not signed to Nicki Minaj. But yeah, I
feel like Nicki Minaj stepped in early and said, come here,
I got signed for you, baby girl.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Let me take you under my wing. Oh the streets
aren't talking.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Now it's over for a situation with Cardi, well for now,
for the time being. And I would love it. Imagine
a j Lo Cardi b Ice Spice collab, Lare Latina
from the BX, everybody just getting busy. That would be
a banger.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Well, honey, you just blew my mind right now. I
never even thought to put those three together. First of all,
I've been waiting since Cardi B came out for Cardi
B Jlo collab. But when you put those three names together,
heads would explode.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Girl, This would be a banger.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, we're gonna marinate on that, trying to make it happen.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, we need to make some calls.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
We're gonna marinate on this and then we'll be back
after this break. So something that you mentioned, honey, you know,
and not going back to Kim Kardashian, but I do
think it's really really telling that Northwest. So Northwest is
into ice Spice. Ice Spice makes it into skiins. I
feel like Kim is really just watching Northy and taking
(20:24):
her lead.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Of course, Carolina, the pulse is always in the.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Youth and they are on it, so you know, I
feel like the one to watch technically would be North
because North is really out there and she is like
sniffing out who the next celebrities are going to be?
Could you imagine? That's the thing I wonder. I wonder
what course North is going to take because she's been
exposed to so much in music, in fashion and in
(20:52):
like television production, all of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
This girl is going to be unstoppable and.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
She got all the money to make whatever dreams to
want happened. Like, North is definitely gonna be unstoppable. She
is her father, but she's being raised by her mother.
So let's see what the product of North is let's say,
ten years from now.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah seriously, But back to Ice Spice. So she mentioned
something about wanting to act, Like she said when she
was younger, she went to her mom and she wanted
to go to one of the performing arts schools here
in New York, and her mom said, no, I wouldn't
be surprised if you don't see her acting in some capacity.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Is it is gonna come? It is gonna definitely come.
I can see it already.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And the fact that she's already working with just these
like ridiculous artists.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Now. Is it true that her boyfriend is a producer?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yes, he is. Well, a lot of people are not.
You know, a lot of people don't know it. But
she does date right at USA who's a producer from
here from New York. Also, they met up at Purchase
while going to college, and they're the ones that, you know,
pop off her career. I don't have their still together,
but Riot and her did pop off her career. I'm
(22:06):
not going to take that away from him. He had
a lot to do with her takeoff.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well, you know what, I think that like she I know,
she dropped out of college, which she was very honest
and transparent about, you know, but she was like studying
communications and I think that that in itself has given
her a little bit of training on how I mean.
I feel like that was just like the small introduction
for her, you know what I mean, like understanding what
it's going to take to kind of be out here.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
But fame is just a wild, wild thing.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And it happened quick and fast and hard for her.
Sounds like sexual relationship I don't want to have. But yeah,
that's how it happened for her.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
So then what do you think is next to her?
I know that Drake shouted her out.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Girl, Yeah Drake. I don't know. I felt like Drake
was going to try to date her. I don't know
why I felt like it.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Doesn't Drake try to date everybody except for me. He
knows on taking Drake. Listen, I could be like your
big sister, honey, liten.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Worry drag.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Don't want no beef with Mark?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Okay, yeah he doesn't like Mark Rossman. I'm telling you you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Don't want to get hands He got hands, right.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You not want to see that man out in these streets.
He's in his mood. Okay, No, But I know Drake
co signs.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
So You've got all of these really legendary, awesome artists
that are like just on the ice Spice train. But
you know, sometimes I got to be honest with you.
It scares me when people have this quick, quick like
rise to fame the way.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
That she has, it's definitely big.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
But now I do want to mention a lot of
people were talking about how awkward she was at the
Mech Gala.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
The met gala happened in May.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Now I was I'm trying to think no, okay, so
I was on hold, which, by the way, the Mech
Gala is one carpet I never ever, ever, ever ever
want to do. I will watch it from the comfort
of my own home in my sweatpants. I love to
see it, but to work that carpet is brutal. You guys,
like you got to get there at three o'clock, two
(24:00):
or three o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Okay, shout out to a girl and curl. She did
it last year, and she did it this year for
that ByHeart Radio, and she's the one that kicks back
all the content to us girls. She beat it from
two pm to like one am.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I was gonna say, because you know, Rihanna and Asap
did not show up until eleven o'clock at night.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Okay, they dragged it.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I was so sick of them. I was like, really,
this is the time, y'all don't pull up.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Or no problem, Well, but I do know, but Rihanna's queen.
I'm sorry. I love her. She came. Yes, she is
my mother. I love her.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
But no, what I was going to say is people
were kind of like criticizing Ice Spice for her dress
that she didn't look like she like belong there. You
guys have to remember she was invited last minute.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
She look just out of place. Carolina, this has to
be a lot for her. Do you understand that meg
Gala equals Megastars superstar La Creme de la Creme when
it comes to celebrities like would been Frozen too, right.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
But when you get the call from on a winter
are you really going to be like No, I don't
feel like I'm ready for that yet. No, you're going
to call your team, They're going to get you address asap.
They're going to style you like as best they can
for that night. And you know, that's where I feel
like people need to give her a little bit of
a break.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
But I feel like she took it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Like I think that this young lady has a great
tough exterior.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
She's tougher than I would be.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Listen, she knows how to put on because she was there.
She did the carpet you know, she was playful. She
did interviews, and you know, she fucked a little awkward
at times. But I feel like that's just her. I
don't think her being in front of like a million
cameras it's her thing, it's her thake, or I don't
think she's comfortable, so that that awkwardness kind of like
(25:49):
throws some people off. But I understand her. Even talking
in front of ten people can be intimidating for many
of us, so I understand. I'm looking back at the pictures.
I love that she kept the reddish cop her hair.
She look good. People need to stop.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I feel like she looks great, and I'm super excited
to hear what she has coming up next, you know.
I mean, I think with the young artists like this,
it's shaking up the industry at a time when it
is like, oh boy, it's really difficult to even make
any kind of noise, you know. I think that she
is doing a great job of just being herself and
like putting it out there that like this is what
you're gonna get. This is the next generation. So for
(26:26):
people like me, it's great to learn about her.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Listen, it's a win for New York it's a win
for the Bronx, it's a win for after Latinas, it's
a win for Dominicanos. It's just an overall win for
all of us Carolina. Like she is one of mine,
Like she could be like, oh, I need somewhere to
live up, Like the guest room is yours meamore.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
No, I know, you know you want to see people
win and you want to see them do well. So no,
I'm hoping that she just makes good choice because it
sounds like her mom and dad. Her dad was an
an artist too though, right, wasn't her dad a musician?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, he's like an underground rap her, So.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Then he could probably really guide her and tell her
about the things that are right or wrong, you know,
And that's what you need. You really need the people
who are looking up for your best interest around you
because this thing I'm telling you, she is like skyrocketing
to start them.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And we're happy to help her and root her along.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah, after this, you guys can put on your ice
spice playlist and listen and be familiar, because I'm telling you,
the kids are all about it.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
They are obsessed with ice spice, the rice of Ice
Spice Carolina is something that I could not have predicted
when I saw her with her dainty dukes and her
took top wrapping in the Bronx when Munch came out.
But what this girl has has been able to do
in the past two years in the middle of a pandemic.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Hands down, she's so old that she has on everybody
is really remarkable.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
So we'll be watching out.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
She is one to watch and I definitely love that
we took some time to celebrate Ice Spice today. You know,
