      It depends, he's talking about creating a outside observer in your own mind, catching your behaviour and actions is difficult but after many years I was able to do it but that outside observer doesn't have all the power, don't get obsessed with catching yourself doing things. You need a balance, humans are good at finding patterns but what about the patterns in between

      Angie is trash. She doesn't steer anything. She asks safe questions so the guest will feel comfortable but she never pushes it or asks anything controversial. Her birdman interview is the best proof of not getting anything out of a guest. Every guest basically takes over the interview and she just becomes a commentator

    I can still remember the moment that I stumbled upon J. Cole. It was 4/20/2018 the release of K.O.D. I was just chillin in my room and saw in spotify that J. Cole released a new album, and I listened to it. After like an hour, I was shocked cause it opened my eyes on how big people's problems are. As a 17 year old kid back in 2018, I was just living every single day in my comfort zone. But when I heard the song Brackets, it gave me this opportunity to like look at other people as human without judgement. Craved for more lessons and I started streaming J. Cole's songs. Stumbled upon Apparently, Change, False Prophets, etc. these helped me to grow internally as a young man. I just wish that someday I could like tell Cole how his music constantly reminds how amazing life is despite its difficulty. I'm now 20 years old and I still apply the discipline and lessons that I got from Cole's music.

    I am a few months into therapy started getting dark, depressed and suicidal ideation around December. Yesterday celebrated my 27th birthday and someone asked me “what Cole album do you want to listen to?“ I replied KOD. This album has been healing, encouraging and supportive in a way as I deal with my stuff. There are many songs of Coles that are like this but this album definitely helps when I feel vulnerable, uncomfortable, or lost in those feelings, when I want to cope in ways that are hurtful to me. So to turn on this interview and his music has been helpful. Thankful for sure for J Cole. 🙏🏽

    This is the interview that shaped my understanding of meditation. Having Angie explain how she always viewed prayer as a form of meditation (my original perspective) and then Cole replying back to explain the difference between the two, and continuing their conversation helped me realize the power of stacking prayer and meditation together is so amazing to me. I read a book called "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" and that entire book (or at least the others intentions for writing it) could be summed up by what J Cole says about not wanting your mind to control you, or something your mom said when you were younger or something you saw on tv last week, etc. Angie Martinez and J Cole are a powerful team when they get together. I'm truly grateful for what you both put out into the universe.

    It’s crazy, my mind has been so clouded lately worried about my future and everything in between. So what he said in terms of anxiety is exactly what I needed to hear. You become a slave to your mind and you don’t know how to shut it off, so you kinda have to live in the now and not worry about it the what if’s and buts.

    He's dead right about ego. I feel like I became a real man when I let ego go. Not completely, but choosing to have an ego about true things. Not money, celebrity, or to be better than the next man. But ego about being a good person, husband, father, friend. Nothing superficial can shake me because ego doesn't control me. The ego will have you chasing things that don't really exist but give you a false hope. Once you connect to your inner self and let it go your only moved by real things and a new improved, realistic person emerges.

      @@raul9musics He said that line in response to Kanye during that time when Kanye was like black people accepted slavery or whatever. Thats what he was referring to. Thats why he made false prophets saying that Kanye is just continously rambling on and becoming something other than what he set out to be which was the best hip hop artist. Thats why he said he wishes Kanye would stop his antics and just get back to making good music. But that won't happen because the world has moved on and so has Kanye.
      This is what he was referring to when he said this line. The reason why I don't think its fire is because it literally makes no sense. Ego was not affect kanye's thinking. It was his insecurities.

      kanye has always been egotistical, he admitted it in his music a long time ago. Its just now gone out of control. if you watched the charlamagne interview, kanye's doesnt even fullly understand trump's politics- he simply likes Trump because its a reflection of himself- the egotistical, wild, uncontrollable nature. The man promotes free thought, but he doesn't actually sit with them and actually analyze it, he just blurts it out because his ego is that large and believes he cant be contained.
