On Thursday, October 20, “The Real” welcomes rapper and star of “Love & Hip Hop,” Remy Ma. After hinting at a Christmas release for her upcoming album, “Plata o Plomo,” the Grammy-nominated hip-hop veteran candidly recalls how she spent her first night out of jail and how she hadn’t even heard of Snapchat or Instagram!
“Once you were released, how long did it take for you to get back into the studio?,” Loni Love inquired. “I went to the studio literally like an hour after I was home,” said Remy. “Yeah, I went home. I took a shower. I changed my clothes and I went right to the studio. I was in there with DJ Khaled,” the rapper said to the
“I went to the studio literally like an hour after I was home,” said Remy. “Yeah, I went home. I took a shower. I changed my clothes and I went right to the studio. I was in there with DJ Khaled,” the rapper said to the hosts’ amazement.
“I was like, I don’t want to have that time period where I’m adjusting [uses air quotes.] I’m going right now and I went that day. We made the remix to his song and it was great,” Remy explained.
When asked about how it felt to get back into the studio, the New York native admitted it felt weird. “It was a little bit different because I put on the headphones. As y’all see, I have like this female Barry White thing going on. As I get older, my voice gets deeper. So when I first listened to it, I was like ‘Oh my God. Why do I sound like this?’ It was just so … such a different sound. I had all this depth and richness like sounding like I smoke cigarettes all day. When I heard the finished one, I was like, ‘Oh, I kind of sound a little bit more gangster.’ It was cool, but it was just the first time going in, I’m like ‘OK, well what is everyone else going to say? Are they going to hate it? Are they going to not like it?’ But the response was everything that I could ask for.”
Of course, the conversation was anything but short on laughs, when Love asked the rapper if DJ Khaled, the king of “key alerts” ever sent her a Snapchat — to which she revealed, she “didn’t know what Snapchat was.”
“DJ Khaled snapchats you on site. Like he will snapchat before he says, ‘hello.’ He walks up to you with the camera like this [acts like she is holding a phone.] So I didn’t know what Snapchat was. I didn’t know what Instagram was. I didn’t know what Twitter was. None of these things existed prior to me then. I had an iPhone and I was sitting there like, [imitates pushing buttons on phone.] “Can I just get a phone with buttons?” It was crazy!” said Remy.
The “Cookin’” rapper and fashion enthusiast also channeled her alter ego, “Remy Ma-rtha Stewart” as she shared D-I-Y tips for fall. For more information, check your local listings.
