Free Beer and Hot Wings Talk to Queen Latifah About New Show ‘The Next’ [FBHW]

Free Beer, Hot Wings and Zane talked to the multi-talented Queen Latifah this morning who called in to promote her new show 'The Next.' Latifah arrived with a bang right after Free Beer greeted her, asking everyone, "Where's my beer? Where's my wings?" Free Beer admitted that she was on to the show's gimmick.

"Who doesn't love beer and hot wings," said Latifah.

Zane went on to ask her why so many rap stars have been able to parlay their music careers into other areas of show business, as opposed to rock stars.

"I think a  lot of us rappers come up in regular neighborhoods and have to figure out how to hustle," said Latifah. Later on, she talked a little more about coming up in the rap game. "Back in those days, you were just trying to make sure you dodged a bullet. You always had to make sure you were wearing a good pair of sneakers."

Latifah also talked about several of the projects she has been involved in over the years and Free Beer complimented her work ethic, saying that she's been consistently busy for most of her career. "Now I feel like a loser," said Free Beer. "Yeah, you need to do some things," said Latifah.

The guys then asked her about her new show, 'The Next,' which she promised would be a new take on reality competitions. Latifah stressed that she wanted to give screen time to people with actual musical talent and not those who just make for good television with some strange quirks.

Before she signed off, the guys asked her what her friends called her. "It's usually Queen or La," said Latifah. Zane then asked, "How about delicious, sweet chocolate babe?"

After a pause, Latifah jokingly responded, "I do answer to that."
