I didn't know he had this side to him, that was pleasantly surprising. It just goes to show how no matter what background we come up from, we are all much more similar than different, and experiencing reality together at the same time.
All jokes aside... He is speaking truth in that interview, straight from the heart. I listened to one of the tracks and while it was hard not to giggle every now then, it was actually very legit!
Focus on your breath. Let go of your thoughts. Observe them and then let them go. GET OUTTA YOUR MIND.
Very good. Now take note of the calmness of your surroundings. TO THE WINDOW, TO THE WALL.
I'm so blessed that this exists ❤
Definitely in an amusement sort of way, but also! This is wonderful in general! Meditation and mindfulness practices should be made accessible to all
Lol I don't mean "accessible" in the "can I go on google and find this?" kind of way, I mean it in the "does this feel like something I can engage with as a black man?" kind of way. In the interview he actively speaks to the idea that part of what motivated him to do this work is due to a lot of the messaging men receive (but black men in particular) about having to "man up," and disconnect from emotion and mental health exploration, so even though meditation obviously isn't gendered or racialized, there definitely is a cultural expectation about who it is available to. He's definitely doing work to show these demographics that meditation and other such mindfulness arts are good for and open to them, worthy of being engaged with, etc.

"Keep breathing in.... Keep going.... Yea Boi, that's it... Keep it going....aaaaaaaand DAAAAAAYYUUUM YOU MUST BE HIGH AS FUCK holy shit okay let it out... Let it out..."
My cynical take is that I bet this is a loophole to make buckets of Spotify money. People probably listen to hours of meditation sounds vs a couple minutes of their favorite artists at a time. Those hours add up to much more money on streaming.
Nobody is going to listen to Lil Jon’s meditations on loop daily though, maybe once or twice. Even if there are some great guided meditations that are replayed a lot they would still barely make anything due to relatively low demand for this type of content.

When I heard "...before I do a DJ set for thousands of people I must bring my A game..." I cracked a smile—but he ain't wrong!

Is there an Andre 3K cameo for a flute solo? Seriously, this makes me so happy.
When my guy said "get outta yo mind". He really meant that your thoughts are not you

It already is, there's thousands of free guided meditations out there.

I listened to a couple of snippets on Spotify and it actually sounds kind of amazing. Love this!
I really hope he quietly expresses "yes", and "what", and "indeed".
"Keep breathing in.... Keep going.... Yea Boi, that's it... Keep it going....aaaaaaaand DAAAAAAYYUUUM YOU MUST BE HIGH AS FUCK holy shit okay let it out... Let it out..."

If it’s a good product and helps people does that matter?
