Episode #93: American Groove - Kanye "Ye" West

This conversation is one of many covering Kanye, but there's a difference here. Our approach is like this we look at the reaction, and to be fair, we are not excusing his behavior; however, the way people are taking it is way too serious. In all honesty, Kanye is notorious for being in people's faces and times where it leaves you with many question marks.

As much as we love Hollywood productions, the actors working in them are treated like trash. As a result, by the time they become big enough to make a career, they are dealing with heavy trauma and sometimes severe depression.

We can not use this to justify irrational behavior or bullying and completely disregard any responsibility for our actions. However, let's consider continuing to cancel people like Kanye in how the public has responded to his interviews and social media postings. Unfortunately, we will see a future of closed-minded individuals afraid to see the worst in people.

You can only remove the bad in the world partially. So it's unrealistic why to spend so much time on getting rid of it (hence woke and cancel culture) instead of educating the problems about it.

Lost in the Groove is my space to explore the real, raw, and unexpected. I started this podcast because I was tired of feeling like nothing ever changes. My therapist once suggested, I write letters to the government to express my frustrations. Then I thought, "Why not create a podcast instead?" Here, I can talk about what I want, with whoever I want, no matter their beliefs. For me, it's about having honest conversations,. Breaking down walls, and getting people to think beyond the surface.

I grew up in a blue-collar family in the suburbs outside New York City, raised as an Orthodox Jew. Leaving the religious community in 2017 was a pivotal moment for me. It allowed me to embrace my identity as an artist, and chart my own path. Who I am today, and what this podcast represents, is deeply tied to my journey. Leaving a community that was a cult; still is. Discovering authenticity, creativity, and independence in myself.

I’m a car enthusiast, an artist, and someone who thrives on creative expression. From old-school rap, and psychedelic rock. To vintage muscle cars and European classics. I’m all about the things that inspire passion.
My co-host, Karissa Andrews, joins me for American Groove. Our segment on stoner culture, and life’s weirder twists. She’s an incredibly talented makeup artist, aesthetician, and candle maker. She brings a spice, pizazz, and realness to every conversation.

This podcast isn’t about chasing fame or conforming to trends, it’s about the experience. I want listener, whether they’re driving home, cooking, or just unwinding. To feel like they’re part of something real. Lost in the Groove is my way of staying true to myself, while connecting with others. learning, and having fun along the way.
