When Stephen said “to see her in the grave before him”…..man I broke down in tears…..that one hit home for me….
Yoooo! Deadass
💯
Thats very often the case or...more often than not. That's life....if we dare to survive it😉
Me too!
Agreed
"Who the hell wants to be successful alone?" I felt that.
I know few mfs 🤣🤣🏃🏿💨
I know few mfs 🤣🤣🏃🏿💨
Unfortunately a lot of people do lol
I do ; whats wrong with that?
@@Atribecalledsuccess do you mean as being lonely and rich or you being the only successful person in your cycle?
Please make Lala the new co-host asap. Her energy and vibe fits like a glove with Charla & Envy 👍🏼
PLEASE , Lala is a QUEEN of the culture
Yes she fits perfectly
She got a busy schedule and upcoming films etc. No way she can be permanent
Yes, indeed. She's perfect for the show
Was just coming to say this myself. Even if she cant be there everyday, try to make it regular as possible pls
Fantastic interview! PLEASE keep Lala as a PERMANENT HOST. She brings fantastic energy and elevates the interviews. It’s clear she prepares for her interviews.
I Agree! 💯
Nahhhhh! Let's see all the candidates 1st.
Lose the sun glasses La La.
Love Lala here!! She is a perfect fit! Please keep her! Also I love that they are broadcasting live on UA-cam. I don’t have to wait till I’m in my car to listen anymore.
No way Lala is going back to radio
@@d3vp131 Why you say that? Explain with receipts.
@@rawrealitylife2959she acts a lot & has a lot of other business ventures. Hosting morning radio is time consuming & I doubt she has the time
I love Stephen his energy is felt in the sports world his struggles made him who he is 💯
Stephen A. Smith is correct. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Great interview today. I'm glad Mr. Smith made it clear that he was not trying to disrespect two amazing artist but love the talent of one artist more than the other.
When he's off of ESPN and doing these interviews, Stephen A is so real. Definitely appreciate that about him that he's winning to show more of himself past being an ESPN personality
What he said about Beyonce' and Rhianna is what plenty of people has said about so many people example Michael Jackson and Prince. Prince is a great performer but we all know that Michael Jackson is the greatest performer of ALL TIME. People have a right to like who they like period.
And it’s no different from how people compare Jordan and Lebron!
legit just made this point lol THANK YOU! Prince is arguably a better musician , and MJ a better performer. both greats with their strengths
I didn't think the issue or conversation was a debate about whether people have a right to like who they like. Sherris question wasn't about making a comparison. That's where Stephen took it. It's about Reading the Room.
Reading the room is not about being right or speaking your truth.
It's more about is it the right time and place to be right, and about speaking your truth in love. In a way that unites more than it divides.
He would have been right to say what he wanted and felt to say at his Father's funeral, and what he said would have been the truth. But some people felt ut wasn't the right time and place.
The point was that it was unnecessary. It wasn't a debate. All he could have said was he's looking forward to seeing Rihanna, and he hopes she does a great job. Instead, he used it as an opportunity to say she isn't as good as Beyonce. It's not hard to grasp. It was also catty for a male.
@R. M. "Catty" Yes. Something about that word captures it exactly for me.
Like he's Flexing some basic "Alpha" male attitude while puttin off some catty feminine energy. The "cat fight" he conversationaly created was uncalled for and totally unnecessary.
I agree. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There is just a difference for me between being asked for your opinion on someone and being asked to make a comparison between two individuals.
I didn’t show up to my fathers funeral last year, I couldn’t stomach to hear people mention beautiful things about him knowing what little he did for me and my sisters. I get Stephen 100% …..
Same I helped pay for the funeral but did not show up.
Good for her. Why pretend?
😔
I like that he stands his ground. 👊
@1:10 I see what the camera man did there lala showing some skin 🔥🔥🔥
Me and Mr. Smith is born in the same year...we want our ability to say what we want to say...Respectfully....This era is too sensitive. Both Rihanna and Beyonce are great in their own way. Simple. His opinion should be respected.
As far as the Rihanna and Beyoncé situation, I can see a fan doing that. The real issue is that this is HER moment. So nobody else should have been brought up. That’s it. He made her moment a comparison to others.
But after writing my above comment, I think about how much ppl said Beyoncé better live up to MJ, Diana Ross, etc.
Stephen just tried to put pressure on the situation like many ppl do. And Rihanna lowkey already has pressure because ppl have been harassing her for music for years. I like that she took her time and did what she wanted. That’s her human right. But yea, he made Rihanna’s moment about other things now: Beyoncé, his opinion, etc!
I wish we could get another run with lala on the radio like for a season or something I feel like she a great fit
That show is bursting up the floor 🔥 🔥 🔥 well done guys.
Lala majority of people is not watching the Super Bowl for the halftime performance I’m sorry to inform you but that’s your reality.
Father and son relationships are key.
SAS interview is always satisfying
I would love to see a debate between SAS and Dr Umar Johnson
“The majority of people are watching for that halftime show.”-Lala
Have to disagree with that statement. If that were the case you would not see the jockeying of many networks to produce quality content specifically for viewers who tune out during the halftime performance.
Lala cannot do any wrong in my book. I remember coming home from school and watching her on TRL. I would love for them to keep her but she is booked and busy.
Booked and busy doing what? She need come on here already we miss this lane for her lol
This is so relatable
As a father who never met his dad, hearing SA say he went to his dad funeral to basically expose him for not being there made me feel a way, bc even though i never met my Sperm donor a funeral not the place for that.
Listening to this interview taught me to stop taking myself too seriously, let go of my pride, and forgive. I also learned that everyone makes mistakes and our intent sometimes doesn't match the delivery. No one is perfect only Jesus and people often misunderstand him, so why would I be different.
I'm still disappointed that Usher, Lil jon and Ludacris wasn't giving the half time when it was in ATL. Usher is the greatest since MJ.
Real talk! Usher cut from a different cloth
This interview humanizes Stephen
Real respect for Stephen A
anyone know where I can find the full natalie nun interview it seems to be erased off the face of the internet
Lala should be the new Co host she fits in perfectly
Good interview!
This interview explained why Stephen A are so critical black athletes
Why does a dude who is on TV / radio 24/7 need to be on another platform? I could go w out hearing from dude for a while
He kind of did pit two women against each other, because what he said in response to Ayesha’s tweet was, “you’ve never seen Savannah James do that after a game that LeBron lost.” That’s when it went down hill.
I remember Twitter saying Savannah would never when that tweet happened
Love me some Lala and I’ve learned to appreciate Stephen A’s POV loll
“Last time a I checked, The check still comes” ~ Steven A Smith
Great show and great great interview.
Denzel Washington ! A Mother is a Man’s first Love. ❤❤
I love LaLa hosting!!!
Agree with EVERY WORD!
I wish someone could explain to him why we view his opinions on 2 women as pitting them against each other - its not that you can't have an opinion. Like who you wanna like but unless you are saying you specifically don't like someone there is no need to compare them to another person. So thankful for Lala - the guys were just letting him talk and not explaining why what he said is wrong - NOBODY ASKED YOU ABOUT BEYONCE so yes you disrespected Rihanna. smh
Does he genuinely not get that?
In my opinion, he is purposefully being disingenuous.
@@anotherpointofview222 yeah that's how it came across to me too
Smh y’all don’t get it
Sometimes overly opinionated people feel every conversation is an opportunity to express their opinion.
The question wasn't one of comparison. Maybe he just didn't get it.
Stephen A. Smith is certainly no dummy.
The ones who saw his response as an unnecessary, unwarranted "pitting" one sister against another sister, ...aren't dumb either.
He doesn't need to apologize for saying what he said if he believes he was right. Just as the people who took what he said and the way he said it, wouldn't need to apologize for thinking he was wrong.
ok snowflake. don't melt over someone comparing two singers please
It’s crazy Stephen A really had to explain the Rihanna and Ayesha situations. We’re getting to a point in our society where any type of criticism about women is a crime
We’re already there, it annoying and very shows a deference to women that’s just weird.
Pastor AR Bernard has talked me off of so many ledges. He shed’s so much light on the darkest situations. Forever grateful for such a leader🙏🏾
ALL GLORY GOES TO DADDY JESUS GOD!!!
There HAD to be a reason why SAS is such a polarizing media figure to the public!
I would love to see all artists get a chance to do the Superbowl
STEPHEN A DA GOAT
goat of simping 😅
@@jtt1928 DONT HATE ON GREATNESS
We also hear a Darrell granny mcoy Santana name in audio
I love LaLa. I Wouldn't Mind Seeing Her On The Show As A Permanent Host
Steven A is right. My Opinion too> Beyonce the greatest female performer ever that combines real singing & dance !
She is an awesome pre-recorded, lip syncing entertainer!
Lala needs to be the permanent co host we as a community need to vote this into action
Love this one. Lala is a great balance of you two fools. I say fools with love 😂❤❤❤❤
Thank you LALA for that comment!
Loved this episode. Keep doing what you doing 💯❤️
That camera is crazy 🔥🔥🔥
I wish they would’ve asked him about the Dana White thing…..
@31:00 he did that…MULTIPLE times throughout the interview and outside of it. And majority of people watching the Super Bowl are watching for the football cmon…
Here for it
That my folks is called active listening and open communication.
No matter if you like Stephen A or not, I appreciate him sharing about his personal life, especially his parents.
Same here!!
Duly noted!...Less we forget though, those of us who've experienced/ endured that level of trauma could absolutely care less about the "societal charade" of being liked and or accepted. Sometimes there's value in interior "scar tissue" i.e, , being a more patient, empathetic, conscious and- most importantly- apologetic parent as we, ourselves, continue to grow. Which, I believe is much more in line with the theory of "go in the complete opposite direction" of what was demonstrated to us by our fathers.
I appreciate it too. I feel I have an understanding for the things I don't like about him as well as the things I like. Knowing the culture/family he came up in.
I hope Stephen's book come in audio I want to order it I now like to drive listen and learn...
It's done to seduce thé most gullible, he's à jackass, money hungry, no integrity, snitch, no back bone.
My. my, my, what a great interview!! I have gained a new respect for Stephen A. Smith and I am glad he spoke his truth!!
His book is good
Stephen has BEEN speaking his truth, but they try to make him a COON, or call him a slave, etc. Bottom line is they TWIST everything he says because he's winning! FACTZ
I need to get his book 💯
His truths, what about his father truth
"his truth" lol, another imaginary term invented by the left
To Lala’s point that Stephen A doesn’t care about what ppl think of him. . . when you have a parent who doesn’t care about/love/support you, like his father, it prepares you to not get caught up on what others have to say about you. His book is really good.
I was just commenting how learning about his upbringing, I better understand the things about his personality I don't like, along with the things I do. It's not just about, not caring about what people think about him, which goes into having a sense of empathy for others, and or what they think. But he can't give or extend to other people what he didn't have, doesn't know how to give, or was never extended to him.
💯💯💯
@@anotherpointofview222 bars
My father passed in 2021. I remember people at the funeral speaking about how reliable he was. I was literally mind blown as one of the 5 children he did absolutely NOTHING for. And when l stood up to speak, my mother was terrified lol. But l started off by saying “when a person leaves this earth. All that really matters is the good memories you have” And l went on to speak on the few good times we had. I could’ve slandered him for hours. But to me that’s spitting on that person’s grave
Well, the new generation kids no longer care to protect Black Men and they will go on TikTok or other Social Media platforms to air out their grievances while their parents are STILL ALIVE. Black Women ALWAYS CODDLE & Windmilling to protect Black Men even after Death 💀 Y’all NEED to STOP 🛑 protecting Black Men’s degenerate behavior and CALL THEM OUT. F**k grace and bring back Shame culture because the world 🌎 can see y’all now. These Men have NO shame and in order to have shame, you must have pride BUT outsiders will ALWAYS protect them, and so the cycle of generational curses and traumas continues on to their children.
You have a good heart and a forgiving person. That's how it should be and that will be a reason that you will prosper because you don't hold grievance. You are at peace.
I’m so sorry to hear about your experiences with your father. My father also passed away in 2021. My experience was very different. He was my greatest man and I miss him dearly. Stay at peace and positive. I wish the best for you and your family.
Kinder than me. Not a good dad??? Bye!
I’m sorry for your loss, 🙏🏾❤️ my condolences go out you & your family.
This is so many young black men like myself story and feelings towards our fathers. Props to Steven A. opening up and sharing but teaching at the same time.
Although I love and respect my own father, and although he was far from perfect, and tried his best, I would probably never want to be like him, through, looking at other men throughout the years, I have a great idea as to what kind of father I would like to be. What many folks should understand, whether you’re black, white, Latino, etc. Is that you come from your parents, but you are not your parents, their responsibility is to raise you and get you ready for the world you will face. It’s not going to mean that they’ll be there all the time, it’s not even going to mean that they have all the answers, you live life in order to find those answers, When you have your own kids to raise, it is your direct responsibility to have as many answers as you can in order for your own kids, to go out there and be productive citizens, and do all of it without any type of regrets towards those who raised them, or didn’t raise them.
Well, the new generation kids no longer care to protect Black Men and they will go on TikTok or other Social Media platforms to air out their grievances while their parents are STILL ALIVE. Black Women ALWAYS CODDLE & Windmilling to protect Black Men even after Death 💀 Y’all NEED to STOP 🛑 protecting Black Men’s degenerate behavior and CALL THEM OUT.

Why do people always have to inject skin color into shit that isnt about skin color
Some of us never knew our fathers😢
@@aquarius-woman5364 i kinda disagree a lot of black women didn’t have fathers as well. Because of that they don’t know what a real man is. So they always choose the guy the culture tells them to. And the street dude with no morals or principles is considered the alpha in the black community.
I really miss seeing Lala in this space her skill set seems so natural and effortless but she’s like 20 yrs in at this point. Great talent
Wouldn’t La La treat this space as a demotion? There’s already quite a few reports on line about her feeling a certain way because she can’t find a man who has lots of money who fits into her “ picky “ criteria.
Are you serious?? This was a mess. She was dressed inappropriately backside out, sunglasses, slumped over to the side on the chair, really contributed nothing to the conversation, but neither does DJ Envy, so I'll give her a semi-pass on that. However, great talent? I'm not seeing it.
@@tinastardust7793 you know something? I am so relieved at what you said. When I was looking at this video, I was saying to myself, does Lala have on a onesie or something? I’m definitely convinced that Carmelo Anthony didn’t marry her because he thought she brought intelligence to the relationship.
First time I’ve seen Lala, and she is better than Angela. That HORRIFIC cadence when she reads out loud. Omg I go into full panic mode hunting the 🛑 button when she would read copy…
I like the vibe Lala brings to this show. Not overly asserting and knows how to choose spots to grow within the platform. This could be perfect.
She is a welcome. Change from Yee.
She started out in radio
I agree
So you like her because as a woman she doesn't speak up a lot? Very sexist comment.
I love seeing Stephen A in these spaces where he can express himself freely!
Ummm EVERYONE there was TINA TURNER and JANET JACKSON headlining the halftime shows BEFORE Beyonce. Everyone has a entertainer they look up too as a fan. But let's not pretend that Beyonce was the first to do it and then Rihanna, like they're the only two. They BOTH stand (and dance) on the shoulders of TT and JJ who came before them. That being said, I can't wait to see Rihanna I know already, she's going to kill it!
Serious question..kill it doing what? What songs? Shut up and drive?!
After this show, I have a newfound respect for Stephen A. Smith. Like I was taught, don't judge. You never know what people have gone through or going through. Keep up the good work Stephen A.
LaLa got her start in radio, that’s why she’s such a natural.
I truly appreciate Stephen A. His energy is infectious. 🚀🚀🎯
"When you're winning, they always coming for you. Because unfortunately particularly in this day in age, their definition of 'winning',the closest they can get to it, is knocking you off your perch instead of creating one for their own."
- Stephen A. Smith
Great analogy.
I guess in his outdated subconscious mind he knows Rihanna is winning and he just said when winning they always come for you.Therefore, he is coming for her with his unattractive self. He is old enough to be Rihanna’s father. Rihanna is a phenomenal young woman. She comes from a humble beginning and she earned everything she has and she is a billionaire and I guest this why Stephen doesn’t care for her. This idiot all he had to say when she ask him what he thought about the Super Bowl is that he is looking forward to the half time show. He is hope the best for Rihanna doing the half time show. Sherrie didn’t ask him for who the best or to compare Rihanna with Beyoncé. When Katy Perry did the halftime show no one compared them. They just appreciate both ladies had an opportunity to to do magnificent show. He sit their with his unattractive self and will not admit he was wrong. Stephen fail to realize what he put out in the universe with that old mouth is waiting out their for him and that uncontrollable mouth. My mom says every dogs has it day and some has two or three. Also what goes up will come down. Blessings to Rihanna and Asap Rocky and their precious baby boy a gift from God.🙏🏽❤️
,asa
This is a great and true quote. Crabs in a barrelesque.
This interview humanized him & I felt so much empathy.
I agree Beyoncé & Bruno Mars are top notch performers.
Agree about Bruno and Beyoncé but you can’t have the same performers every Super Bow! The excitement is having a new performance!
That's like i got tired of seeing Tom Brady in the super bowl Lol. The same NBA team in the Championship. I love seeing new players and performers win!!
Yeah. Quite frankly I think if more people watch his interviews here and on the podcast with athletes they’d see if differently than they do on tv! Seeing him with athletes that’s he’s criticized at times shines new light on his comments and it honestly helps validate him in some ways because they like him
No ONE has the energy Stephen A has 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Much respect to that, Brother, indeed.
Stephen A. Smith is one of the most entertaining in his line of business. He's never shy to say how he feels. Great chemistry between Lala, Charlamagne & DJ Envy!
"I just like Beyonce" - I felt that 😂😂😂😂
I’m glad I had a good relationship with my dad. We had our moments. But man, I wouldn’t be shit without him.
Feel the same and my parents divorced when I was a baby but I always had him in my life even when he remarried and started another family
I am glad you said that. For all the bad ones..I am glad that you shared you had a good one. We needed to see that.
I love and appreciate SAS but he is missing the point about Rhianna/Beyoncé. The issue is not having a preference for artist, but he hijacked a moment about Rihanna to talk about "who she isn't" and made Rih's "moment" about how she doesnt compare to Beyonce. There was no issue with Kanye telling the world how much he loved Beyonces album at the VMA'S. But doing it in the middle of Taylor Swifts speech is what makes it inappropriate. lol Bad timing bro
This is a great perspective I hadn't considered, thank you for illuminating it that way !
I loved what Stephen A. Smith shared about his dad and I could relate. I also love the way he discussed “his opinion” regarding Rihanna. He’s wise and knows how to keep his name in the conversation without taking any of personally. I was tired of my children making me listen to him daily when they were in school, but I loved this interview!!!
This interview has made me want to buy his book. I love how he walks in truth.
Stephen A Smith is right, Beyoncé is the greatest female performer of all time. I would argue that Beyoncé is the greatest performer of this century.
Respect to Stephen A his book is great I’ve been watching first take before he joined when it used to be cold pizza I didn’t even know this man had kids
Stephen’s family experience is typical of a woman’s plight….working hard and to the bone with a no good man at home. People always saying once the father is in the home it’s better. Clearly we have married single mothers out there doing everything with no help.
I THOUGHT PEOPLE WATCH THE SUPER BOWL FOR THE GAME AND THT THE HALF TIME SHOW WAS JUST EXTRA , BUT LALA SAY MOST PEOPLE WATCH IT FOR THE HALFTIME SHOW , COMMENT & LET ME KNO WHAT YALL THINK !! WHY PEOPLE WATCH THE SUPERBOWL COMMENT UR THOUGHTS ???
So they got Stephen to go on a hate black men parade under the disguise of "his father" shit wild.
LaLa is a beast she’s perfect no interruptions she let it flow and spoke from the heart
SO YOU PERFER WOMEN THAT JUST SIT, NAW
@@maiiam9835 what I’m saying sometimes men or women on TBC and Angela Yee never let them make a point because she gets emotional
LaLa really thinks people watching for the half time show 😂😂😂😂😂
We are!
It depends who is performing. A lot of ppl actually watch for the halftime show
That’s what I’m like smh it really pisses me off how Black women in her spot like Nikki M always say us black men or someone attacking them like we can’t have a preference just like Kevin Samuels say that’s crazy but they can say they don’t wanna a broke , short or Dusty man.
It depends I didn't care about the Superbowls that MJ and Prince performed on
People thoughts, opinions, should never distract your success, work on improving yourself, not proving yourself to people. your character, morals validates your life not people.
Stephen A is the truth! I’ve got another level of respect for him after seeing this.
My mom passed away almost 3 months ago, I feel the same way. Thank you Stephen A for sharing your story.
This comment caught me off guard even tho I don't know you but rest in peace to your mom. I wish you and your family nothing but the best brother 🙏
Mine passed when I was 14. 🙏🏽 blessings to you
Mine passed 7 years ago and I wish I could tell you it gets better but you just get used to it, for bless may she Rest In Peace
@@katlap3101 right mine two years ago and it still hurt like yesterday

Yes, it was so moving to hear Stephen A speak of his personal life, especially with his parents. I believe it gave others the courage to speak out as well. Sometimes when we have the courage to be vulnerable, it has a ripple effect for so many others to heal. Bless you, Stephen A, and all the others who have followed suit.
This interview worked. I will purchase his book. Very interesting.

This is why women need to stay in their place. Too damn sensitive about everything
It's funny bcuz we all liked Jason Lee as a cohost, then Angela Rye was dope and now LaLa! I liked everybody so far LoL! Maybe it's Charla and Envy's energy with everybody lol
They all know they have one week to be their best so they striving to be A1. We need a full month of each to truly see their fit
Is it me or has Envy's interviewing skills gone up a notch or two?
Stephen A did not pit two black women against each other. I’m glad he didn’t apologize.
