- You look sharp, you know that?
Like comin' out, is that Gucci?
I recognize that strip, that looks nice, that looks nice.
It's like 90's, I love that about Gucci.
- Shout out to Dapper Dan.
- Yes, Rick has songs about sunglasses.
You have your own sunglass collection, right?
- I do, I have, I collect my own, yes.
- Oh I love it, I love it, okay.
So he's never seen without sunglasses, which I love.
Basically he's known for his sunglasses y'all.
So, what's with the sunglasses?
- It could go back to me as a youngster.
When I was a youngster in elementary school,
a lot of my friends used to pick on me
because of the length of my eyelashes.
- Wait, are they like really long?
(laughs)
- Oh my gosh.
- Let me see, they're beautiful.
See, this is what ticks me off about men.
They are wasted.
I have these short, I have these short stubby little like,
and then pregnancy ruined it even more.
It's like, I don't understand, I have to wear lashes,
these ain't, nothin' on me is mine.
And those are just natural and you're hiding it.
I'm upset with you Rick Ross.
- And as a youngster I hated 'em.
- Oh really? - I did.
- They're so beautiful, but I do like the shades too,
it's rock 'n roll, I'm into it, I'm into it.
So I thought it might be fun,
since you love sunglasses, you're known for it,
I thought it might be fun to try on
like a few iconic frames,
see how they look on you.
Are you cool with that?
- I'm with it.
- All right, all right, come on out here, elf.
He's like the most miserable elf.
(laughs)
It's great, great.
He is killin' that Christmas spirit.
All right, all right, let's ease into it, shall we?
Okay, I think you're gonna go with these first.
These are, they kinda look like U2, like Bono,
a little Bono-esque.
So, let's try these.
- Make some noise for Bono.
- Exactly, I love Bono.
Let's see, yeah.
(applause)
- Those look good on you.
- Yes, they do look good on you.
Okay, okay, well this one,
this is I think Oprah has been rockin'
a bold look like these, these days.
So I mean, if it's good for Oprah,
it's good for all of us, right?
- Make some noise for Oprah.
(applause)
- You look good in sunglasses.
You have like the perfect shaped head, I'm not kidding.
I have to go for a specific style or it's like nope.
Okay, we're gonna go for these,
obviously these are a little Elton John,
make some noise for Elton John.
These are a little flashy, little flashy.
(laughs)
(cheers)
You look good.
- Y'all got me good, y'all got me good.
- Which one is your favorite if you had to pick?
Cause I'm just sayin' the bedazzle is nice.
- I may go with these.
- Oh, you're goin' the Oprah one, I see.
You can't go wrong, you can't go wrong.
You gonna rock those for the rest of the show?
You don't have to, yours are pretty cool too.
But let's seriously, let's talk about your book,
cause you have a memoir out, it's called Hurricanes, right?
- Hurricanes, yes.
- So, what's it about?
- It's really just talkin' 'bout my rise,
you know, my rise to where I am today as a artist, you know.
Just lettin' you know that we all love the sunshine,
but you will deal with hurricanes in life,
and just, you gotta deal with 'em,
you gotta deal with 'em and move forward.
You know I'm comin' into album number 10,
you have to challenge yourself creative-wise,
and I wanted to bring somethin' else to the game,
and a different perspective.
So, me tellin' everyone just my straight-from-me,
my voice, and I felt it'd blow a lotta people's minds,
and I wanted to come out with the album.
The album went number one, so,
it's just a lotta dope touchin'.
- That's so awesome, I'm so happy for you.
And it's awesome, I think too,
for fans just to get like inside your heart and head,
and that's why I like to be a songwriter.
I like singing songs that I didn't write,
but I also love to write,
cause it gives people the opportunity
to kinda see who you are.
- All the time, all the time.
- So, I actually heard that you were recently nominated
for a Grammy, right?
- I am. - Yes, that's exciting.
- I am Grammy nominated,
for the record Single Gold Roses featuring Drake,
one time for Drake.
- Yeah, I loved it.
- And for me, what makes this moment
even that much more special is
the record was actually conceived
from a conversation me and Drake had over Nipsey Hussle.
You know, rest in peace to Nipsey Hussle.
It was a conversation that we had,
and we was just speakin' about,
you have to, a lotta times,
let's celebrate a person's energy while they're still here
to accept it, you know, and that's what it was about.
- I love that too, the sense of being the greatest record,
the greatest song.
Have you finished your holiday shopping?
- I haven't, I haven't.
- You are, you, the clock is tickin'.
- Yeah, the clock is tickin',
and, you know, it feels like you never finish
when you have four little beautiful children.
- Me too, I feel as well, it's like it's never,
I still think I'm done, and then I'm like,
wait did I even it out?
Cause they count, they count the gifts,
like they got more than me.
- And not only that, it's, you know, four in the mornin',
it's like Amazon is just knockin' at your phone.
- Oh my gosh, but are you stressed about the holidays?
Do you get stressed about it, both of you?
- I try not to.
- You don't get stressed, do you get stressed?
- I'm totally stressed.
- I get stressed, I think the momma's get super stressed.
We feel like we're the one's people are gonna look at
and be like it wasn't great.
- Yeah, and we gotta cook too.
- Oh, I'm a sous-chef, my sister does that, yeah.
My sister's like solid in a kitchen.
I am solid at eating in a kitchen.
Yeah, I am good at it, I rock it.
