The book’s title is a shoutout to the Mobb Deep song “Shook Ones.”
“That song is about not being soft or shook. But I am a shook one. … A lot of things I thought I did was fearless, but I realized a lot of things that I did, I did because I was scared,” said Charlamagne.
The rest of the title, Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me, is a nod to the Geto Boys’ track “Mind Playing Tricks on Me.” Charlamagne said the lyrics are all about anxiety, reports The Undefeated.
Last month, Charlamange sparked furor and debate across social media after sexual assault allegations against him were publicized. A petition was even launched to get him fired from co-hosting “The Breakfast Club.” But during his interview with the HBCU 468 podcast, he noted that he is trying to grow from his past mistakes.
“It’s difficult when you are thinking a different way and people are using things from five years ago, six years ago, seven years ago, eight years ago and trying to paint a narrative of you now. If you want to judge for me old things, I’m fine with that. My narrative has completely changed. But you can’t compare 20-year-old Charlamagne, 30-year-old Charlamange to 40-year-old Charlamagne, who’s a father and husband.”
