-Oh, that's not fair.
I'm-a come for whoever made that question.
I don't even want to rap no more.
I got to answer that?
-What's up, y'all? I'm Samantha.
This is "The Question of Life."
Today we are with Brooklyn's baddest,
Lola Brooke.
-Unh-unh-unh-unh.
-How are you feeling today? -I feel good.
I'm feeling Brooklyn, Brooklyn,
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn.
You ready to get into this? -Yeah.
-So when you're in the studio,
how do you sort of set the vibe?
-Before studio, I have to have time to myself
before I even get in the car to go there.
Then I get there,
have some good vibes in there, talk a little bit,
have real conversations about how people day went.
I need a little liquor.
-Okay. -Some water, tea,
and I need some food and I'm good.
You know, I just need the engineer, producer.
That's it. Get up in there.
-Okay. Okay. So liquor --
Are we talking Henny, Remy, Moet?
-Tequila. -Oh.
I heard you might have a hookah in the studio.
Oh, I'm tripping.
Yeah, hookahs in the studio for sure.
I need the hookah in the studio.
-Okay, so peach, Blue Mist, or watermelon?
-Blue Mist. I always ask for Blue Mist.
-What does it taste like?
-It's like blueberries that's minty.
-You're an Aquarius. -Yes.
-Which one of these famous Aquarian celebrities
would you want to smoke hookah with --
Oprah, Paris Hilton, or Alicia Keys?
-Oprah, baby.
-She's gonna ask some serious questions while you doing that.
-Yeah, but with the hookah,
it's gonna make her a little bit more at ease.
-You can flip it back on her. Who is Oprah?
-Like, where the money? [ Laughs ]
-Right.
Okay, so what's been one of the greatest moments
of this past, like, year, year and a half --
going viral with "Don't Play With It,"
performing at the Barclays,
or all of your amazing radio freestyles that you've dropped?
-Performing at the Barclays.
-Yeah? -Yeah, that's the biggest.
-How did that happen? -I don't even know. [ Laughs ]
They just called me and was like,
"Hey, get ready. Pluto want to bring you out."
And then it was like,
"Hey, Boogie want to bring you on tour."
And I'm like, "Okay, last stop is Barclays Center."
-Wow. -I'm like, no,
the Barclays loves me.
-Your music videos are incredible. I love them.
If you could only have one of these elements
in your next video, which would you choose --
the deli location,
the dirt bikes,
or having friends from the neighborhood?
-Dirt bikes.
-Yeah? -I love bikes.
I'm sorry. -When did you start riding?
-My first time ever getting on a bike,
I was really young. I probably was 9.
-Okay, so other than the bikes as your mode of transport --
ferry, train, or bus? How you getting around?
-We'll see, now there's Wi-Fi on the train, right?
I think they have Wi-Fi down there now.
If there's no Wi-Fi down there, I'm getting on the bus.
I need to see the lights. I need to feel the air.
And I need to -- If I got to get off on the wrong stop
just 'cause, I'm getting off that stop,
I might see somebody in the window like,
"Hey, you know, drop me off."
You can't see nobody on the train.
Whoever on the train, y'all just riding together.
Back door. Yeah. So I got to go with the bus.
-Zombies, vampires, or werewolves?
-I'm going to go with the awoo.
I'll go with the gang. Yeah. You know?
-So if you're in a werewolf scary movie,
how are you gonna survive?
-Oh, I'm-a be part of the pack. -Okay.
-Yeah. Yeah. Those gonna be my bros.
-You're Team Jacob, then? -Oh, man. Okay, you got me.
Okay. Okay, okay. No, no, no, no. Don't do that.
I'm not picking between that, man.
-What's the best kind of party --
a house party, a party at a club, or a day party?
-Oh, day party's been -- been doing the --
the -- the -- the day party's been doing it.
Listen, 'cause you go to the day party,
you still could go home, get up for work.
I'm-a go house party, though. I'm-a be toxic.
I'm-a just have the time of my life.
3:00 in the morning got to wake up for 6:00,
I'll be a'ight. I'll be good.
-Do you have any crazy house party stories?
-Oh, you know what?
The craziest thing that happened at a house party,
I can't even say.
It gets dead wild.
-Okay, if you could choose one of these superpowers,
which would it be --
reading minds, flying, or super strength?
-Reading minds, 'cause I need to know where these people safe at.
[ Laughs ]
-Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok?
-Oh, that's not fair. You made that?
[ Laughs ]
You made that? -Maybe.
-You -- You -- You wrote that?
-No, it was him.
-You gotta go.
[ Laughter ]
You gotta go. I'm not picking between
Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram.
-Okay, so all of them. You love them all?
-Yeah, I love them all.
-If you had to choose the way to unfortunately pass,
would you be buried, cremated, or mummified?
-Oh, that's harsh. I want to live forever.
[ Buzzer ]
Forever young.
-So we're making a song. You can have one collaborator --
Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown, or Nicki Minaj?
-Yo, who making these?
I, I...
I freestyle with Foxy.
I make a song with Kim.
And Nicki, I'll let her coach me in the studio.
-Okay. All right.
You just turned this into your own question.
-You know, I do what I do.
I need the three-piece.
You know three-piece is the best combo.
-Speaking of which, are we doing Popeyes, KFC, or Crown?
-I'm from New York City. It was Crowns before Popeyes.
-What's your order?
-I normally always get a center breast,
leg, wing, and some fries.
Make sure I got a little rolls up in there, you know?
-It is the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.
-Yes. -So what do you think
these next 50 years of hip-hop are gonna look like?
-It's gonna look like consistency.
It's gonna look like power.
And my peers are gonna be more in control.
-And how do you see yourself being a part
of that legacy and future?
-Right now I'm a part of it, and the legacy part,
I'll let the people choose that.
That's for them to give me my crown.
-What is your sort of mantra or philosophy of life?
-Stay ready so you don't have to get ready.
I mean, I probably wasn't ready with today,
but it is what it is.
-All right. Thank you, Lola.
This has been "The Questionnaire of Life"
with Lola Brooke.
See you guys next time.
You're gonna go to outer space, right?
You can take one person with you --
50 Cent, Lil Wayne, or Meek Mill.
-I'm going with Lil Wayne, the hottest under the sun.
It makes sense. Like, you know, he's been out of space before.
-All right. Is he the pilot? Are you the pilot?
Who's -- What's going on? -Oh, nah, he could --
He could do his thing. -Okay.
You're just gonna be in the passenger seat?
-Yeah. Yeah. -You got the aux cord?
-Yes.
