This is Track or Trash.
The part where I get to play a song
and I get to decide
if it’s track or if it’s trash.
And you guys at home get to...
Just listen and complain.
Write a mean comment or something.
- Jess you gonna help me? - I’m going to help you.
Don’t be soft. Don’t be scared, alright?
- I won’t be scared. - So...
At the end of last season,
we had a impassioned debate
about my home girl Ella Mai, in the “Boo’d Up” record.
So what? So what? We not looking for that.
Her dance was more fire than her vocals.
- We not looking for that. - Oh, you sound like that was deep.
- You mad. - Like you let that out.
That [bleep] broke up to the “Boo’D Up”.
It’s only fitting that she dropped a new record.
And I said I’m not going to listen to that shit, until I get to set.
We’re going to listen to it, and I’m going to hold Jarred,
funny-lookin’ ass accountable for his words.
He gonna have to show respect on the Queen Ella Mai’s name.
So, for the first time I ever heard this.
“Trippin” Ella Mai.
We’re gonna see if it’s track or trash.

[snoring]
That’s not safe.
Ooh. Yeah, that ah...
- Hey, Jarred! Friend. Pal. - Hey, what up?
Christian in the church, like myself.
Yeah, you might have been right.
Yeah, that-- That ain’t it. That ain’t it.
But why-- why-- why y’all feel like it ain’t lit?
That -- that ain’t it. That ain’t it, sis.
That ain’t it. “Boo’d Up” was such a record.
- Yeah. - Such a record that...
the record that you followed-up
obviously couldn’t be as big as “Boo’d Up”.
It’ll never be as big as “Boo’d Up”.
But it had to be on par. And that sounded very lazy.
That wasn’t it. That wasn’t it, sis. Nah, I don’t like that.
She has another song called “Naked”.
- I love that song. - “Naked” is good. “Naked” is good.
- But nake-- - That’s not her single?!
No. The single is “Boo’d Up”. And now “Trippin”.
- But she is trippin’-- - No. We gotta make “Naked”...
- Trippin’, trippin’. - Yeah, it’s a lot of trippin’.
- It just says trippin’ a lot. - Yeah.
- I think that’s what it is. - I think they went
to the well of the repetitive, catchy shit again, you know?
- Yeah. - It was a GarageBand...
- Oh. - It was a GarageBand piano loop
for the production. The instrumental...
It was-- It was the same BPM.
- Alright, you were right! - Alright. It wasn’t--
- It wasn’t-- - Ok, so here’s the thing.
- No, because you’re -- - So here goes the thing.
But people in your comments on your Instagram posts was going...
- Oh you was upset? - I’m just saying--
- You were triggered? - I’m just saying
- they was doing a lot of defending-- - Here goes the thing, sister.
[laughing]
- Here goes the thing, seester. - Seester!
- Here goes the thing. - Let me hear it.
You were still wrong about “Boo’d Up”.
- I was? - You wrong about “Boo’d Up” though.
- Let’s be very clear. - You were wrong about “Boo’d Up”.
What did you say about “Boo’d Up”?
- I was talking about her performance - I don’t like you talking
- with your hands so much. - at the BET Awards.
- You’re not preaching here. - I don’t like the fact that you
got a hat covering your edge up.
But we’re not talking about that, seester.
- Ooh! - I got a edge up. I got a edge up.
- All I’m sayin’-- - Your hairline lookin’
- like it’s winking. - We attacking edges?
- I mean, I’m just saying. - No, you’re not--
- You can’t touch these edges. - What edges?
- These edges here. - What’s these edges?
These edges here. They strong, they here, they shaped up.
[laughing]
- You got two beard lineups. - Alright. Alright.
- Alright. - Listen.
You got a lot extra head beard hair up here and none here.
What he was saying was Ella Mai’s performance at the BET Awards
- was sub-par. - Oh that’s your mans?
No, but I-- I-- I disagreed with him though.
You ever sung on the BET Awards stage?
- No. No, okay. Alright. - Oh alright, so moving on.
- So you can’t relate? - At the end of the day,
- Ella Mai has a great-- - You wasn’t even there!
I do!
- You sing? - No.
- Alright. Thank you. Thank you. - I don’t like
- how you deaded me just like that-- - Conversation over.
Nah, I do sing. I just don’t sing. I love you.
I don’t love “Trippin”. It might be the record that grows on me.
“Boo’d Up” didn’t have to grow on me.
And I argued so hard, like I argued--
Put out “Naked”.
With a man who doesn’t have all his beard.
[laughing]
It’s all for you to come out with “Trippin”.
He very beardy. He very beardy.
You better respect Jarred. He very beardy.
[laughing]
Look at the beard.
