Jake: As we are winding down you would think that fall would be a time that everyone slows down, maybe take a break.
Chris: You would be so wrong.
Sarah: Their was even so much that Culture Uncut didn't have enough time to get everything but here are the top 10 things that shocked everyone on the magazine.
10)Honor Wynter Heading To Late Night TV
Jake: Early this year there was talks about Honor getting a Late Night TV but nothing came from it and things just feel through.
Chris: Must...Fight...Urge....To....Do...A.....Steal....Joke......So Hard...Move to the next one...Quick.
9)Daneil Cup goes viral
Sarah: Daneil who came in late to the rap party decided that he was going to poke fun at people.
Jake: I heard he is dating Mandy Williams too.
Chris: Remember that she was in those pictures with all them guys though.
8)Vanity may have a brand new song titled "Space Lover" Partners with VIRGIN GALACTIC
Chris: I feel like the only reason why she made this list is because she gets to go to space.
Jake: That is the dream and she was killing it part of the year but now space training, it must be fun.
7)Anniken Dahl-Smith Gives Birth at 48
Jake: This happen recently so why did it make the list
Chris: a) Shows that studio60 aren't the powerhouse with no soul, just ask Tisha. b) Who knew Anniken was still getting it in. c) Most importantly Steal Coke thunder Again! She in a sex tape, then Rum does trap life and no one remember the sex tape, She gets engaged, then her mom comes out with a "I'm preggy" and people move to her, Hell Anniken, kiss a girl and we where all "Oh shit!"
6)Dylan Shaw EP
Sarah: I wanted this to be aleast another spot higher cause if you didn't know She came from the internet doing covers to finally doing a EP more than memories and did her little tour, we can't wait for her to do more and get more exposure.
Chris: That's why we are here give her that P.C.C.U.B.
5)Lotus and Problems
Jake: Lotus is talented on the cover of magazines, came out with a clothing line signed to PR but she just couldn't pick up steam. Took a long time for her to get out to the music when you your jail for fighting, issues with management, Matt Young, Drug problems. We hope that next year she can get out the starting gate.
4)Scott and Gia Rose-Hilton go Mormon
Sarah: Best Joke ever, Everyone fell for it, everyone. And that is saying something when we live in a world where really nothing is off limits.
Chris: Not everyone, you really believe them
Sarah: You saw the award show were Gia and Karolina kiss on stage. Oh My GOD! Nailed it. I was fooled.
3)Riot! In The Boulevard Ends
Chris: Bullcrap this shouldn't have been number 3! Every other month talks about this band breaking up first Justin Mullen former lead guitarist talks about how they were unhappy, and soon after Amy leaves. This shouldn't be number three.
2) Break down of that is Austin life
Jake: It's a sad day when a you are a pop star with so many fans and I feel bad for you. The abusive father, living away from your home, your girlfriend getting stabbed? no wonder people would do the hashtag Pray for Austin.
1) Who rules the worlds? Isabel that who.
Sarah: really what didn't she do this year: movies, headline tours, problems with her ex boyfriend Ryan, beefing with Nadia, New music, getting bum rushed. 2014 was the year for the Izzabells.
Jake: We already mention her in clips now lets talk to her ourselves please welcome Lotus!
She comes out waving to the cameras before sitting down with us.Lotus: I HAVE ARRIVED! [laughs] I'm so happy to be here! Gah thank you for having me!
Jake: Is it a blessing that you are going to be taking a bigger role with the New Permanent Reminder?
Lotus: I wouldn't say that. There's a lot of other really dope artists on the label and you know, there's some big news regarding my recording contracts that'll be announced soon anyways so I honestly wouldn't say I'm taking a bigger role on anything.
Sarah: Have you talked to the new lady in charge?
Lotus: Actually no! I've been so busy these days doing everything but music so I haven't been anywhere near the headquarters nor have I even met her.
Chris: What happen with the whole overdose thing?
Lotus: Well.. that's a really long story. I'd just rather not talk about it tonight. I'm in a good mood! [laughs]
Sarah: Do you have any plans for the new year?
Lotus: 2015 will be the year Lotus stops playing and finally gets this debut album out!! And I'm not saying there will be a world tour.. but I'm saying there will be a world tour. So yeah, act accordingly.
Jake: What was your favorite moment from last year?
Lotus: It definitely had to be Love Letters. I literally didn't know it would get such a huge response and make to the top spots on the charts but I am beyond honored that it was. The success I've had in the year of debuting as a rapper is just batshit.
Chris: So, this is hopping that you can put your problems in the past and make some good tracks.
Lotus: I know Jesus is hoping the same thing. [laughs] It was so nice to be here! Thank you for having me!
Jake: she was very nice,
Chris: Yep meeting a lot of people out here that you would think would be more stuck up.
Sarah: Not everything was all rainbows and sunshine this year ask Austin, you have to be fearless to make it in the music business.
Chris: booooo, bad pun! booo
Sarah: Quiet you, ~Hits chris in the head with a rolled up script.~
Jake: Here are some of the things that happen this year that wasn't so great.
1)Billy Khan charged with an alleged assault outside of his very own club
2)Faith Browdy beats up a guy in a bar
3)Starr Records pyrotechnics that went off injuring 4 people 2 weeks ago in North Carolina.
4)Witnessing Big Stacks flip the fuck out on tv
5)Erica hess suicide attempt
6)everyone will try to forget the name Takeshi Sato
Jake: That whole Natalya kobayashi story was really a sad story to follow.
Chris:.......why yall make it so hard to be the comic relief, damn now I'm sad. speaking of sad, Abie Lena came out with the video "I'm Sad," but her year has been anything but.
Sarah: Peforming at the Cosmo fest, coming out with The Grim History of Love, being on Jimmy Kimmel, multi-platinum singer songwriter what is there to be sad about?
Jake: The fact that now she has to meet Chris,
Sarah: That will do it,
Chris: What, I make this show you will see, lets give a big have for Abie Lena!
She laughs and gives everyone a handshake before she sits down.Abie: Hi guys, thank you so much for having me.
Jake: Grim History of Love was a wonderful piece of art. seriously it's hard to look at that and not think of art when you listen and look at the videos, how hard was to put the thoughts outs for the world to see?
Abie: Actually, everything was thought out during the process of making the record. Last year when I finished touring the No Venues tour, I traveled with my mom and sister to a spiritual pilgrimage. I learned a lot about spirituality and duality, good and e evil and life after death and reincarnation and those thoughts and concepts started to make me feel imaginative to write this story of two spirits in their own journey through death and reincarnation. Making a conceptual album is such a challenge, because the music has to connect and the story must follow a timeline. I had really good people supporting and helping me with the creative process for this record, so the visual aspects of it had to be impacting and epic the same time the songs were becoming epic and impacting. In the end we had a really good artistic perception of what the album should be and I was so happy that we could imagine such a piece of art, it turned to be my favorite record of my discography. Despite I have the tendency to always say that my last album release is my favorite, but I do share some really passionate feelings for this one, it’s different, it’s artistic and visionary.
Chris: Thanks to the power of leaks we got a chance to listen to your demo "It Isn't Here" What do you think about listen to that and now hearing your new stuff?
Abie: I don’t think it’s a big deal, “It isn’t here” has nothing to do with “Grim History of Love”, it was written a longtime ago, supposed to be on my second album “Seasons”, it was quite of a surprise for me to see an unreleased demo on the web. It’s so strange, because a demo is not a finished track, it’s rather a raw version of a song, so it’s not high quality and I confess that it scared me at first, you know. The idea of people listening to an unfinished music, but we cannot control that, its out there now and I have the feeling that I cannot call it a demo anymore.
Jake: Before something out tour how do you like it?
Abie: So good, I’m so happy with this tour, I was so nervous at first because it is my very first headline world tour and it’s arena based, there are thousands paying to watch me perform, But the response and the love of the fans is all worthy. Even if I’m not ok in the day, because I get tired with these travels and everything, but when I get the stage and I receive the fans energy, I get energize and after the show I always want to hang out.
Sarah: Your sister Magie came out with a big song, bitch is back with Tisha what did you think about that song?
Abie: I think it’s fierce, I love Tisha, I worked with her before and in fact I was the one to introduce Magie to Tisha. I love pop music, and the video was so hot don’t you think?
Chris: That song was so sexy, You think you going to do a song with a bed, and another chick?
Jake: Stop Chris you don't have to answer that,
Chris: I would like to know if so I will be on the look out?
Abie: LOL, I can’t, My ass won’t ever look as hot as theirs, but if I could I would.
Jake: You got anything plan for next year?
Abie: Next year I’ll be still touring, we’re going to add more tour dates, and I’ll be celebrating five years of career, there are really cool stuffs to be released, there will be new music too, I’m so excited to celebrate this moment of my career with my fans.
Chris: You did some tours put down some vocals with mister B what was the best moment this year?
Abie: I think the last FCA was the coolest moment of the year for me. I performed, received the best album award, It was such a magical night for me.
Sarah: Everyone Abie Lena!
Jake: Is she going to do a song with a bed?
Chris: I don't like feeling depressed, it that so wrong?
Sarah: Moving right along, sometimes being a musician isn't enough something you need to do more, and that that these people did.
Jake: From Kidd Amaze doing beats by Dre. Austin getting his own toy line Vanity doing her fragrance.
Chris: A lot of people where doing fragrance, which I don't know why really "I love Zane, so much I want my bed to smell...." actually I think I just got it.
Sarah:......joking aside weither it's TV or the Big Screen small or chain stores. Here are so of the people that knew what to do with there brand
Rum & Coke: TV, ScreenWriting, Gucci products
Amy Meyer: Producer (Peter Pan), Record Owner
Reza Vranitzky: Producer, Screen Writer( Everything Fine)
Isabel: Fragrance, clothing line, phone apps, really what did she not do?
Chris: Seriously what did Isabel not do?
Jake: things that you are interested in
Chris: I'm not walking into that, her fans will kill me and leave my head for the world to see.
Sarah: Well you don't have to worry I don't think she would come on this show.
Chris: Yep, and she doesn't need a bump anyway.
Jake: We got one half to the hardest working hip hop duo in music? Nina "Rum" Tarantino
She comes in laughing at the question before sitting downRum: That shouldn't even be a question, you already know! [laughs] Thank you for letting me on the show! I'm honored.
Chris: We didn't have enough to get the other one?
Sarah: They been separate on their own little stuff. And now she's gotta marry Coke off to Kidd.
Chris: Tension, us media folks love it. I think we been listening to too much Aikya
Jake:......miss a few days and can't get her name right again.
Sarah: Rum, AKA NinaT, AKA FancyÑ, AKA Crazy Ass Cuban AKA Niña Tarantino
Chris: That is a lot of Alias you trying to get tax breaks or something?
Rum: Hell, I should be. The IRS practically live in my driveway. And they still can't even find Tyron. Bullshit.
Chris: This whole thing with Tyron, what in the world, it's like we keep watching this man have a mental breakdown and shit, and people saying you caused or at least contribute to it. What do you ahev to say about that?
Rum: Yo no lo hice mierda! (Tranlation: I didnt do shit!) Honestly, all of the drama and frying pans was everything Tyron brought onto himself. He is not no damn victim and no one should treat him like one. The boy is mentally deranged and needs Jesus. End story.
Jake: How has this year been treating yall the family is growing?
Rum: This year has probably been the best thing to happen to me! A lot of really fucked up things have happened but the end result of it all has truly reminded me how blessed I am.
Sarah: the baby though she didn't tell anyone about it really no one noticed?
Rum: I did but when i mentioned it, everyone just waved it off as her getting fat. Pft. I told everybody. I'm not stupid. I got 10 brothers, I know when somebody is pregnant.
Jake: Coke's getting married, does that put pressure on you to get tied down quickly?
Rum: Not even close but apparently my folks are. They don't like that I'm 4871249087 steps behind Coke. I'm not even dating men! [laughs] But it's all good in the hood. I'm at a point in my life that I truly enjoy!
Sarah: Is their any special plans you have working on for next year?
Rum: My lips are locked.. but for the time being, yu guys just might want to check up on this Better In Tongues album. Just saying.
Chris: What was your favorite moment from this year?
Rum: Has to be reuniting with my dad! We finally patched things up in the midst of him cussing me out for being stupid simply because we both agreed that I deserve people in my life who will respect me. That's the one thing I've learned from this year.
Chris: So, we can't have a year in review without Isabel so we had our friend dress up like isabel!
Jake: and we paid him twenty bucks,
Chris: granted, but the the least he could do, he even shaved for it.
Jake: he is a swimmer so they have to stay and I think we did good on short notice,
Sarah goes over to the phone and starts walking out of the room. While the "Isabel" look alike comes in and sits down.
Jake: So "Isabel" you had an amazing year this year!
Chris: Yea really "Isabel" you were everywhere,
"Isabel": Oh Guys stop,
While the skit is going on Sarah comes in with the real Isabel "Ummm Guys, this is isabel, the REAL Isabel,"
"Isabel" stands up and looks at her then at the guys,
Jake: ......
Chris: ......
"Isabel":......Well this is awakard, dress aside you think I can have your autograph
The Two "Isabels""Isabel" then leaves as they have Isabel come over to sit down.
Sarah: should we start over?
Jake: uhhh yea, lets, whoa, is it hot in here,
Chris: oh shit, it's really isabel! What do we do? We're a b-list show, we don't have special stuff to give her.
Sarah: Guys chill, yall want to take five and me do it?
Chris and Jake nod as they rush outside to get some fresh air,
Sarah: Well like they said this couldn't be a talk about this year with mention Isabel, this was really your year Eps tours, awards, giving back and lets not forget you hit movie summer break, did you have any time to rest?
Isabel: Yes! I rested like in between releases of my EP and album. but I've always made it a habit, when I finally became comfortable enough in my career, to give myself these breaks because I want to be at my best to perform and do what I need to do.
Sarah: So lets talk about the music you started off hot with "Do What You Do?" then came out with "Release", and "All Eyes On Me" You were just in the zone this year, what happen, did you just save up, or did everything just all into place.
Isabel: Most of the songs for my album and EP were 1-2 years old. But some of them just happened to fit perfectly with where my mindset was for the EP and album. I really like to take time and plan for anything that I do. I'm just the type of person that has to plan and get things right, when it's most important to me. I do like being spontaneous sometimes but I'm really strict on myself with my music.
Sarah: Summer Break was your first movie right? How did that come about where that was the movie that you were going to go into acting for?
Isabel: Yes, "Summer Break" was my first movie ever. You know, I tried to expand my acting by going out of my comfort zone. This year, for me, was all about breaking out of my bubble and really trying to improve myself. The movie script was actually something my dad got his hands on, if you can believe that. My dad is very much protective and I was shocked when he sent it to me. I read it and I fell in love because of how different it was. I know most people head for the huge movie roles and have 30 superstars in it but I love the concept of an indie film because it's smaller and you can connect a lot more as opposed to being on a huge Hollywood set. Not to say I wouldn't mind one day joining one of those types of settings but for now, I'm loving the indie vibe. I loved everything about the movie and script and I knew that this would challenge me. People have seen me be one thing but ou can always expand and outdo yourself.
Sarah: You also had great collabs mister_B Recovery and with Kourtney Space, are you choosey about who you work with and the kind of sound that you are looking for?
Isabel: You know, I will say I am. I always want to work with someone I think I, first of all, respect and admire. I never just jump on a collaboration because of the name or value. That doesn't matter to me. I'd rather to 100 collaborations with indie kids that I respect than say, you know, Vanity just because it would grab attention because of her name. I always want to connect to the song and be able to fall in love with it. If I don't feel like the song is something I want to be able to look back and be proud of, not be ashamed when I'm 40+ years old. I'm open to any type of sound, genre isn't the first thing that pops into my mind when I'm doing a song. It's usually the lyrics, the concept, and then everything else falls into place and the stars align (Laughs).
Sarah: Earlier this year management thought that you weren't being promoted enough, you think studio60 going to put you on everything now?
Isabel: Um, I thought I was being promoted fine. (Laughs) I think Studio60 does a great job at promotion because Gia really makes sure to get those wonderful promo spots for her artists. She never lets us get anything that she herself wouldn't do or be on.
Sarah: I don't want to bring up bad news but what is your relationship with Ryan and Nadia now that the year is coming to an end?
Isabel: We don't really talk that much anymore, we're all very busy people. As I've always said, people in this business drift apart a lot and you just have to move on with life.
Sarah: So many think to look back on but give us your favorite moment from this year.
Isabel: I think my favorite moment would have to be....releasing my album. I've never been so excited to release an album because I had faith in it. I loved it 100% and I still love it. It's just one of those records where you feel like, "Aha, now I am officially an artist. Now I have this art being displayed and I feel like nothing anyone can say will ruin it for me."
Sarah: You have any plans set for the new year?
Isabel: I'm going to be celebrating my birthday and bringing in 2015 with lots of love.
Sarah: it was great to have you come in and answer some questions for us Isabel, thank you and be sure to come back anytime.
Isabel: Thank you for having me, I enjoyed it so much! I'll have to make sure to look out for Izzy imposters from now on though. (Laughs)
Chris and Jake come back as Isabel leaves and she waves bye to them.Chris: What did she not do this year!
Jake: We want to thank all of guests from coming to the show,
Sarah: we know we didn't cover everything with songs and albums but we hope you all enjoy our shows.
Chris: Special thanks to my apartment Sunny Gates, here in Fresno, California for letting us host it here and not charging me.
Sarah: We hope you have a merry Christmas a great new year
Jake: we're going to take another break but we will be back next year
Chris: Like they say on tv you dont have to leave but you have to get out here,
Chris, Jake, Sarah: Good Night, Everybody!
