Vince Staples is celebrating the release of his fifth studio album ‘Romona Park Broke My Heart' and the Cali native stopped through to the Power Mornings show co-hosts Letty and Teddy Mora to discuss his journey in music and how much of his LA upbringing inspired his take on life, the music industry, and much more. While Staples admits that he only initially got into music as a way of earning $500 and had no clear goal for the craft, the rapper details that although his background in music isn't strong, his creativity in music led to his maturity and gave him access to think about life differently. No stranger to the iconic musical legends to come out of Los Angeles, Vince speaks on the legendary Snoop Dogg whom he believes has transcended rap music and has become more so known as an entity and not so much as a rap star. Comparing Snoop's status to that of the late icon Marilyn Monroe, Staples discusses how Snoop's name might not be brought up during G.O.A.T. conversations, but that is only because Snoop has become bigger than his music. Speaking on his new album, the “When Sparks Fly” rapper admits that he doesn't try to take things too seriously or for granted, when hip-hop fixtures such as Jay-Z praise his work, as he believes he's only doing the best he can do and that not everyone will always like his work. Vince Staples goes on to speak about the rumors that recently went around about him starring in the next ‘Friday' film, why he believes the Staples Center should have been renamed after the late Kobe Bryant, and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was the week that we learned Meghan Markle starred in not one but TWO Hallmark movies! You heard that right folks, we're discussing When Sparks Fly and Dater's Handbook, two fine films that feature Meghan Markle, relatable video conferencing, and men who do the very least. We've got hot takes on Meghan's acting chops, her Hallmark hair journey, and the intracacies of Fourth of July wedding attire. If you, too, feel like you are stuck in a dead-end job making bad tv movies, just hold out hope that a year from now you will meet a dashing prince and get married and then divorce the royal family and live happily ever after because that is a much better story than the plots of either of these movies. THE END! If you enjoyed this, we think Meghan would want you to join us in donating and learning how you can help at the following links: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/# https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bailfundsgeorge_floyd?refcode=cwg

Like we said, people, it’s #Markleseason so we’re letting it rip with When Sparks Fly, starring the soon-to-be-duchess herself as Chicago newspaper writer Amy Peterson. It’s pretty shocking to find out that after seven years of being away from your hometown, your BFF is marrying your old super serious flame with whom you might still be in love but don’t realize it yet. When we head back to Lakeside, WA, we not only learn that Amy’s best friend Sammy is 4th of July obsessed, but that she’s also a pathological liar...or at best, a chronic omitter of life-altering truths. In a series of awkward instances of finding out information that would have been useful to know before she got back home, Markle...err, Amy, is taken on a hometown trip of discoveries that eventually lead her to rip off the band-aid that is her best friend’s engagement and reclaim her old flame. Throw in Amy’s parents’ failing pyrotechnic business and this one really explodes! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
