What’s up y’all, it’s your boy J.Solo and welcome back to The Play It Loud Podcast, where lyrics meet life!
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down Kanye West’s "Real Friends" from The Life of Pablo — produced by Kanye, Boi-1da, Frank Dukes, and Havoc of Mobb Deep, featuring Ty Dolla Sign.
We’re talking trust issues, fake smiles, setting boundaries, and how real friendship looks when you’re grown.
I’m reflecting on my own experiences: smiling through tension, being "too honest," helping people who didn’t want it, and why family events sometimes just drain your spirit.
No filters. Just real talk. Let’s dive into it.

Topics Covered:

Do you assume people have hidden motives too often?

What does a real friend really mean to you?

Can you support others without comparing paths?

Why some family reunions feel more draining than joyful

Setting financial and emotional boundaries without guilt
