Trickin', NLE Choppa vs. Jonathan Majors, & Remembering Singer D'Angelo

·1 hr 3 min·4 clips

NLE Choppa says church is not the solution and questions praising Jesus above God.

1. P.S.A the Mental Health Podcast uses tricking, D'Angelo’s death, and a Kirk Franklin roundtable clip to connect relationships, health, and religion. 2. Izzy hosts the episode, and Amrock joins as a guest who co-hosts the HL podcast, makes films, and records from Baltimore, Richmond, and the DMV. 3. The episode asks what “tricking,” public grief, and religious trauma reveal about mental health and choices. 4. Amrock says he started podcasting in January 2018 and describes his platform as part of the “underground,” comparing it to Talib Kweli, Blackstar, and Raucous. 5. He says his best episodes often feature people he knows personally, not just guests with big celebrity followings. 6. The tricking conversation centers on whether paying for dates changes the meaning of romance, especially when someone says “ain’t tricking if you got it.” 7. Amrock says he dated by choice, asked women where they wanted to go, and preferred genuine connection over transaction. 8. The guest argues that some people confuse “provider” with “trick,” and he says some women and men both make choices shaped by upbringing. 9. He says marriage can include stability and love at the same time, and rejects the idea that healthy marriage is impossible. 10. The discussion also touches on social media, TikTok bans, and how clips can drive a show’s reach. 11. On D'Angelo, the guest calls him a Richmond, Virginia, and neo-soul legend and says his family deserves support. 12. He says D'Angelo and the group Skills were buzzing around 1995 when he first moved to Richmond. 13. He adds that his sisters appeared in the “Lady” video when it was filmed in Richmond. 14. The health discussion shifts to Black men avoiding doctors because of work, insurance, and distrust of healthcare. 15. Amrock says he got chest tightness after drinking several Red Bulls a day and used that as a warning to change habits. 16. He recommends checkups, dentist visits, eye exams, walking, stairs, fasting, and watching fast food and sugar intake. 17. The tone stays conversational and personal, with the host steering from social commentary into lived experience and public events. 18. The format mixes live-stream rambling, clear topic pivots, and clip-based discussion from outside sources like Shade Room. 19. People interested in Black men’s health, dating culture, and faith debates. 20. People wanting a tightly edited, single-topic interview.
