I’m glad that they’re getting their money. I’m glad to see that the new can work with the legendary artists who have helped pave the way. Because rap and Hip-Hop is the only genre where you forget those who have made the way for those who are coming today.

I am so happy that all of the legendary Hip-Hop artists who have paved the way are finally getting their just due. I’m so happy that women have a seat at the table. With it being the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, what do you have to say about where Hip-Hop has come in these past 50 years and where do you hope that it continues to evolve? It’s almost like inviting people into your…It’s almost like inviting them into you.

But food is more like you want people to love it. You know what I mean? Performance, I have to perform the songs we produced. It’s more…You really want people to like it. What do you think?’ So I think for me it’s more sacred. Food, you’re standing over their shoulder like, ‘You, like it? Did you like it? Give me some input. When I’m on stage, it’s almost like I’m boasting and bragging. It’s an exposure that I wasn’t ready to give. And it’s like, well, when is your cooking show coming? Not even thinking that a cooking show would come, and look at God.ĭo you find yourself being able to express your creativity through food as you do through music? Is it kind of parallel there? Is it a completely different creative process?įor me, food is very sensual. Before you know it, honey, listen, I was putting it on Instagram. And what I found is it gave me a happy place. So your mind had to stay locked in on what you were doing. If you’re cooking something in the broiler, you can’t walk away for five minutes and go do laundry. So to bring my family in, I started just researching more dishes, more recipes, and I found that me searching down these aisles, looking for ingredients that I’ve never even heard of before, to create this dish that I was desiring to make, really took my mind off of me trying to worry about what was next. My mind was always working 24 hours a day and me researching recipes to cook for my kids, trying to bring my family together, build more of a solid foundation. I think my love and journey for wanting to do more searching for recipes has led me to my own cooking show.Ĭan we get some background on some of the recipes that you’ll be featuring or even how you fell in love with cooking? How did you catch the cooking bug?ĭuring my transition when music was changing out with the old and in with the new, and me trying to figure out what I was doing was pretty much a trying time. But as the years changed, my mother would be more specific on the dishes she cooked. She would switch it up every now and then. It was pretty much we knew what we were getting. I grew up in a home where my mother cooked soul food. And I think we all have this passion for learning to cook. I always say on the show, you don’t have to be a chef. Yo-Yo: Oh God, I’m excited for just what you said, for you to watch it and to learn some new recipes. What are you excited for with the series? VIBE: I’m very excited for the show to come out to watch and learn some recipes and some cooking tips myself.
