I think it’s as good as the films we’ve made. And it’s where Adam and I are at in life. It’s about kids. It’s about family. But it’s really, really funny and then it sneaks up and pulls at your heart strings and gets the emotions going.

There is nothing else that’s more important. So, I’m very focused.

This was just something I was doing for the fans, it’s not a first single or anything like that.

I’m just going to chill.’ But I always had this idea to go back with this one specific song called “Same Girl” and to go back to the Bronx, to my old neighborhood, walk around and kind of like film what happens the song is about getting back to your roots and remembering where you’re from.

Like, it’s our family time so I thought, ‘This is going to be great!’ I can actually sit down with my kids and watch one of mine that was a big reason why I wanted to [do the film].
Shakira interview
Seacrest interviews Shakira during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her collaboration with Rihanna.
We’re both from the Caribbean, so I always thought we had this common ground and this song is pretty reggae, but it also has that rock attitude that I think Rihanna has, so that’s why I thought she was the natural choice for collaboration on this record, but I also thought it was a little bit of a challenge to get her to record this track because she’s so busy. I honestly thought it’d never happen, but I said, ‘I’m going to send it to her and see what happens.’ And she heard the record and she loved it and she said she was on board and I was the happiest girl alive!
Macklemore interview
Seacrest interviews Macklemore during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about why he thinks he shouldn’t win the Grammy for Best Rap Album.
In terms of [that category], I think it should go to Kendrick. He’s family. TDE is family, and I understand why Hip-Hop would feel like Kendrick got robbed [if he didn’t win]. I’m not trying to compare albums; I think you can make an argument for both. With that being said, I am a huge supporter of what Kendrick does. And because of that, I would love to win in a different category. We obviously had massive success on commercial radio, and I think that, in ways, The Heist was a bigger album, but Kendrick has a better rap album.

That might be the most satisfying because that’s an idea I had when the original Anchorman came out. But everyone thought it was crazy back then. But to actually read the news with the local news time while they tried to keep from laughing is a highlight of my career.
