And um, I just I wrote the songs 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.360 when I was in like a different space in my 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.559 life and I didn't want to carry that energy over 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.199 to my album. So I was like, well, look here, 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:39.720 went to the label. I was like, I want to 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.360 put these songs out. So we did.

That's 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.520 why I love them because we were able to have 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.160 conversations about it, and you know, they trust me and 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:06.760 they listen to me. And I was just like, look, 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.080 I don't want these songs sitting on my laptop, you 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:10.680 know what I mean, even though I'm not going through 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.120 as somebody's going through it, And let's put them out, 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:14.880 get the energy out the way, and then we'll put 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.120 out that you cutting people off and stuff like. You know, 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.240 I can't say that. What I say? First of all, 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.200 how do we start this interview without taking a shot 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:28.360 though already? Um? Oh, so you well, how are you 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.600 gonna leave us here? I have nothing. I thought about it, 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.080 but I ain't see nobody pouringhing, you know, so you 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.680 just took it yourself before y'all go. That's a big shot. Shot, 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.119 y'all do that every time. I swear to God, y'all 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.840 do this to me. Every time you where's your shot? 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.000 I'm doing a thing, Hennessey? Were you fancy? And so 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.640 you so fancy? We all have our things that we 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.920 do up here. Okay, So again you're talking about cutting 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.400 the penis off. Now, ain't nobody cutting He said he 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:57.920 was hating some dude and you wanted to kill them? 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.800 Cut I was just, you know, was going through some 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:02.880 situations and I had to you know, like I say, 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:04.640 all the song like I write about how I feel, 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.800 and I didn't want that. I didn't want that to 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.760 carry over into my album. In the same thing is 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.120 that you do a song cause should have been there 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.120 and then you put your boyfriend on it. I did, 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:17.880 like the song about your X man, I mean, oh yeah, 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.320 I mean guilty, I did. What It's about my life, 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.600 So that's my life at the current moment, you know, 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.679 So yeah, I did that and the songs how to 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.160 who have what conversation? I want you to get on 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.480 the song about my old bue. What I mean, This 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.960 is the thing when it comes to like work, I 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.839 don't tell him how to do his business. He don't 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.079 tell me how to do mine. So I got this record, 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.800 I want you to get on. You get on it, 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.400 you get on it. We cut so he got should 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.160 have been there? Well exactly, he listen here. That's it's 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.200 like Baylor, basically, it's like, kudos to you because you 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:50.840 was there and you got it right. So did he 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.079 do a verse this and your old boyfriend? I mean, 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.239 you know, he went in a little bit, but you know, 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.200 it won nothing crazy. But so what happens when you 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.000 put this epl cause should have been there songs like boomerang, 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.880 which I think is my favorite thing, one of my 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:07.160 favorite songs on him too, Um boomerangs about what you 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.120 think boomerang is about? But you tell me what do 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.400 you think boomerang is about? About throwing something out there 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.840 but to keep coming back to you? I mean you're 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.760 not far boomerang, Um sweat him boy. Boomerang is just 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.760 basically talking about um, you know, going through with somebody. 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.200 It's like how many times you think you're gonna be 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.800 able to come back? So that's a Boomerang's like, okay, 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.639 no more boomerang, you know what I mean? Like that 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.760 should have brought your ass home, Like basically, so I'm done. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.679 It's over with. Treat you like a brick, not a boomerang, 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:36.760 you know, kind of it as far as you can, 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.720 as as you can and get the hell away. So, 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.760 now what happens when you put out this EP and 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.760 obviously your ex boy for notion about him, does he 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:49.480 hit you up and say bitch, no we don't, no, no, 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.480 we don't, we don't talk no more. I'm over that 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.000 that's over with that. I'm just saying he might have 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:58.640 just any like that. He might have sent out a 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.800 tweet like you know what, now he ain't stupid, or 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.240 maybe you didn't, or maybe maybe you didn't know you 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.360 felt the way that you felt, because a lot of 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.240 times y'all go deeper in your music than you actually 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.360 do in a conversation with a person. No, I don't. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.200 It's it's how I feel. It's out there. But I'm 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:14.840 trying to talk about him. We're not talking about him. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:21.159 No more about it. I will listen here. There's also 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.920 should have been there, should have been there as featuring Bob. 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.400 There's songs on there called just being honest. It's just 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:28.880 a bunch of great songs on there, and I just 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.440 want people to get into it. How much do you 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.360 have to pay vibe to get on that? You don't 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:38.480 take these shots?

You had a 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.440 song on there too. How did you manage to get 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.039 your song? I'm sure a lot of people wanted to 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.280 be on that. Um, you know what? Excuse me? Um? 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.080 The Furious seven was. That was just such a blessing, 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.919 you know what I mean. Being a singer songwriter, I 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.840 get approach a lot of times about writing songs for projects, 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.760 and it just worked out that I was able to 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.359 write the record. I wrote it with my friend Jado, 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.279 and I was featured on it. I performed on Revolte. 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.320 We did the um premiere and I performed it on 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.760 Revolte and it was just bomb. I just had such 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.440 a great, great time with that. What's that money? Like, Um, 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.839 it's nice they pay you once for the song? Like, well, 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.719 you get your publishing, you know what I mean? Like, 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.479 so you have a certain percentage of that and whatever 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.080 the song makes, that's how you get you published pockets 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.440 her pockets. But it's good, especially like international. Yeah, the 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.520 song is really really big overseas, so that was great. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.680 What happened with those big seven Teddy Bears? That Bob 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.560 got you? He got you to all those huge teddy bears. 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.039 It was real cute in the house, and I was like, 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.040 what are she gonna do with they? They're still cute 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.000 with the cute and storage stories. They cute and start 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:31.760 not Actually I want to donate them. I want to 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.360 I want to donate them. Well, they I tried. They 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.599 don't you know, for sanitariasons, they don't let you donate 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.760 them to hospitals. But you know, I'm trying about you 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.880 was grinding on them and you're like, no, I'm gonna 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.720 hurt you. You know you can have fun on those. 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:52.040 I'm just saying that. No boy thinking that God Chae, 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.680 Oh my god. So what are we getting an album out? Man? Um? 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.000 You know what with the album? You'll get the album 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.799 soon enough. I'm really my fans know what, my label 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.719 knows it. I'm so strategic and I'm a perfectionist and 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.680 I just like to take my time with that, and 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.440 I have to put music out according to where I 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.400 am and how it feels. So it's gonna come. It's 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.600 definitely gonna come. I'm still working on it a little bit, 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.640 but it's definitely on the way. But isn't it though, 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.440 because you know you say you being certain, Uh, I 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.360 guess spaces. Yeah, so, but once you're out of that space, 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.200 do you I don't like that record no more. Yeah, 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.480 that happens, Like that's real life. You don't wake up 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.600 in the same way every day. So it's the same 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.080 thing with writing records and things like that. Would you 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:35.000 Nbob do a tour together like Nikki and meet? I'm open, absolutely, 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.480 I would. I would do a tour because I heard 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.080 you don't write your own stuff and heard Bob right, 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.200 is that what you heard? You know? I could write 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.680 a little verse, you know, I'm like, could write one 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.240 of his verses while you play them. But it's differ 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.480 for R and B artists. I mean, clearly you write 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.840 for other people. That's never an issue, right, we don't 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.160 expect you. It is a little it's a little different. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.280 It's definitely different for R and B artists, But um, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.520 you know, yeah, but I definitely I can write some 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.240 rappers though, don't get it. Don't so you write Bob stuff. 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.240 Don't get it twisted. I've said I've joked him about 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:05.600 that before. I'm like, you know, I could write you 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.720 a verse if you need that, I need it. Yeah, 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.560 I could do that. But you know, I do your 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:14.280 real baby hairs that you put active, now, these are 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.600 my real baby hairs. That's it's real life activated. I 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.120 don't know what that is. Girls put activated on the 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.520 edges to give the illusion to that. How do you 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:28.520 know about that? Because he used to do that back here. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.640 That's why I asked you, like, hmm, make sure to 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.599 me your real baby head. Yeah, you see his eyebrows. 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:40.360 I think his eyebrows got activated. It's real. Now. Did 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.840 you see a big difference? And I know when you guys, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.319 first everybody was like, oh, it's seven and Bob dating. 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.200 At first, it seemed like people was hating on you all, 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.679 but then it seemed like people got adjusted and was like, Okay, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.400 stay cute together. I mean, people are always gonna have opinions. Um, 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.080 your personal life is your personal life, and I like 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.679 to you know, we we just live our lives the 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.480 other day. We were in our relationship and then we 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.480 do our music. Like for me right now, I'm just 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.640 in a music head space. It's all about music. It's 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.320 all about you know, my form of R and B. Like, 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.439 it's just all about that for me. So that's where 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.120 my head is. Are you experimenting with a different sound 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.640 on a new album? Um? You know what? That's why 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.400 I wanted to put out the should Have Been There 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.560 Part one because it kind of gives you a taste 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.559 of what my album is gonna feel like, you know 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.480 what I mean. It's not too far off. I may 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.000 experiment with a few more sounds, but it's definitely not 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.080 too far off. But I just I just have to 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.520 get music outs. That's very important to me. Isn't it 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.320 hard dating another artist because y'all might have little fights 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.240 and might end up in a song just because I mean, 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.160 if if it happens, it happens, you know what I mean? 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.280 That that's real life at the end of the day. Like, 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.640 if if we get into a fight, he can write 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.559 a record about it, I don't care, because I'm definitely 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.960 gonna write one yard Jesus Christ, No, I'm serious. It 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.640 might be it should have been there part two. But 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.800 if you write about other chicks he smashing and stuff, 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.880 and then you like, hold on, you can't put that. 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.520 He's like, now it's just a song. Um, see, then 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:04.480 we might have I'm not anymore. So what you said 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.560 in that verse really, oh word, okay, we're gonna have nah. Honestly, Um, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.880 artists art man like that, yeah, because you know some 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.600 of the things is old and us oh they better 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.560 be old. Listen. You know, as a woman who writes, 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:22.600 do you respect artists less when they want help? No, 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.240 I don't. I don't respect artists less at all. Because 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:26.719 you know what a lot of people don't realize is 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:31.720 that with you know, artists who do righte Um, sometimes 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.400 you get so busy it's impossible for you to write 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.480 everything right. You can't write everything like even I'll be 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.320 all the way honest, even when people are like, you know, 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.559 getting on seeing about Drake, you know, having ghostwriters and 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.559 stuff like that. It's really hard sometimes, Like at the 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.760 end of the day, when Drake first came out, Drake 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.000 didn't have a ghostwriter, and we thought he was amazing. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.320 So if he has one now, it would be okay, 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:54.760 Like I feel like you know what I mean, but 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.439 you never really a ghostwriter if you get credited, because 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.720 that ghostwriter is like a ghost. Is that you know, 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.600 you don't even get a credit on the album. You 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.760 get paid, You get paid, no one knows, it's a secret. 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.199 But when you get somebody credit, is that really a 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.920 ghost right now, when you give somebody credit, they're they're 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.480 a co writer, you know what I mean, Like they're 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.880 a co writer with you. But in the case where 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.680 there is a co writer, I mean a um, you know, 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:20.160 ghostwriter for whatever. Artists I think that I understand it. 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.640 People ya don't. It's hard to explain, but people get 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.920 really busy. Artists get busy, and you gotta do a 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.400 verse for this person, a verse for this person. You 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:27.800 gotta be on this TV show, you gotta be on 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.520 this tour, and a lot of times, you know, you 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.280 still oversee everything, you know what I mean, Like it 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.840 can't sit down and sometimes you honestly sometimes you can't. 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.079 Like it's it gets really busy. So I don't have 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.280 an issue with that. And people don't make it easier 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.520 too though, Like when somebody gives you a I guess 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:48.559 a reference track and they got the Cadence down. Well, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.240 I don't just yeah, exactly add your own, because I 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.520 you know, I have writers give me verses and things 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.200 all the time, and I literally I go through weed 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.040 out what I don't like, putting what I do, like 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.480 chains of Cada's taints, the melody, like that whole type 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.800 of thing. People ever ask you to write for them, 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.960 but don't but want you to just not get your 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.120 credit and just give you some money. No, they ain't stupid, 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.320 They ain't stupid. No I would, Yeah, I would never 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.600 do that. But what about starting out? You know, sometimes 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.480 like to get aren't even producers. You work under somebody 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.160 and they get kind of the credit for it, but 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.559 you get I mean, you know I started out pretty 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.120 much under Chris, and Chris never did that to me. You, 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.120 I mean, he never did that to me whatever I 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.439 was a part of, even if if I only wrote 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.760 a couple of lines, he still made sure that I 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.959 got my name was in the credits, and I got 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.599 the publisher that I deserved. So I've never gone through that. 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.840 It was the biggest song you've written. The biggest song 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:42.960 is probably The Way by Ariana Grande, Right, oh yeah, well, 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.959 or wait, maybe yet? Three times is either YEA three 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.199 times or the way because YEA three Times had like 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.160 a lot of licensing, like we got it was it 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.360 was yeah, and it was played on like a lot 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.719 of you know, TV shows, commercials things like that. Don't 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:02.280 remember it's Chris's Chris's record. Yeah. No, that's like a 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:07.120 double man speriment thing you are, No, No, that's that's 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.520 the polo record. Yes, no, it's a pop record. Yeah, 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:16.199 it's right. Is that? Oh? That was good? Are you 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.120 still right? Are you still writing for other people now? 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.520 Are just only focused on yourself? No, I'm definitely still 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.760 writing for other people. I just got back into it, 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.199 you know, pretty much because i've been working on you know, 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.200 I should have been there part one. I've been working 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:28.880 on my album and things like that. But I actually 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.880 I've been having sessions with Diddy that have been absolutely amazing. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.559 When I tell you, I didn't I didn't think that 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.920 I could learn so much in a session. My god, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.319 like what like literally like, I, um, I'll throw out 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.800 a melody and he was like no, no, no like that. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.360 I need I need to feel it. I gotta feel it. 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.319 I need I need to feel like you know that. 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.800 That's just like some new wage like cadency type stuff. 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.520 And I didn't realize that I wrote that wrote that 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.319 way sometimes, which has been a learning lesson for me. Like, 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.200 you know, sometimes we get caught up in a gotta 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.600 center like that type of you know, like that rap 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.240 catus and we do that a lot these days. And 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.520 he was just like, I don't want that, like I 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.120 needed to feel. I need people to feel you can 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.280 you sing to the chords? Like can you put give 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.040 me a melody to the chords? And that was a 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.160 lesson for me because I didn't realize that I was 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.120 writing that way. So those sessions have been absolutely amazing. 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:21.760 I tell him every time I work with him, you're 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.280 gonna be in dirty money now. I didn't need me 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:30.920 to do I'm for I always wonder about that, you 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.600 know what, But I don't when I when I do 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.240 write for men, I make sure to have a male 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.080 writer with me, you know what I mean? Because I 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.120 as much as we feel like we do understand, a 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.320 lot of times we don't know what the hell going 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.760 aside y'all, head y'all a little off. I'm just saying, God, 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.280 guys are definitely more often than women, right, get a 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.440 little bit sometimes, So no, I make sure to write 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.560 like you know, like I'll write with Jado or all 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.480 right with Mike and me and Roda won't stop together. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.280 So I make sure to write with male writers. A 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.480 lot is did he paying you? You know? He's notorious 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.640 for nothing? Thank you when it when or if the 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:06.560 record gets placed. I'm absolutely you think I'm I am 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:12.080 absolutely positive about that. Right, we're good pay for being 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:19.240 a revolt? God, who's that crazier one in the relationship? 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.000 You were? Bob? Would you say? Oh me, hands down? 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.920 What you mean? All day? He'll tell you like, because 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.000 I'm I'm so like hard on my sleep. If I 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.120 feel it, I'm gonna have a conversation with you about it. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.480 But I think that's how it should be. I don't 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.080 think you should let you know. Fester. He'd probably be like, 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.440 oh god, here, I don't care if he fe like that, 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.600 that's fine. He'll be all right because at least he knows, 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.280 like at least he knows he ain't got to guess 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.120 about how his girl feeling at any point of time. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.440 Listen here, I'm gonna be what kind of thing about 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.920 I don't That's the thing he'll tell you. I don't 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.000 really be beefing a lot, but when I do have 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.600 something that I have an issue with, I'm like, yeah, 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.280 it looks as I have to no genre on the 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.920 back of it. Hey now, hey, baby left the toilet 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.680 seat up again about not dealing with this no more. No, 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.040 it's just I just I have to let it be known. 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:07.840 Like you know, a lot of times y'all feel like 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.600 you know men. I've heard men say all the time, Oh, 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.920 we can't read your minds. We don't know what you're thinking. 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:17.680 So he ain't got to never worry about seven yea. Ever, 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:22.040 the album is out right now to ep ya should 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:27.040 have been their part one a record, right? Would you 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.480 charge you? Absolutely? That's it's a business. Nobody you would 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.320 do a record for for free, but you got you 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.160 do that was if that was a trade off, you 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:36.560 know what I mean. Like if it's like, oh, you 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.280 give me a feature, I get you a feature, or 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:39.920 you give me a record, I get your record. That's 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.600 that's when things are like, okay, that's kind of negotiable. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.280 But as a writer, no, I think that. Honestly, I'm 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.680 all about people being fair in terms of you know, 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:54.480 business publishing, whether it's um like honestly, even to go 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.000 all the way into like you know, Tyrese talking about 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:58.840 how you know the state of R and B and 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.560 things like that, I think that you should let give 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.160 people what they'll do. And I think that that's really 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.000 really important, you know what I mean, even in terms 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.399 of like this whole just R and B period, Like, 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.639 I just think that that's very, very, very important. What 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.240 if you got a call from Michael Jackson right on 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:19.399 his new product, That's impossible, that would be impossible. You 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:23.280 get your publishing, you get paid through publishing. What heaven 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.280 would you still charge him? Now? I want seven to 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.040 clisle any seven to class something up because you cast 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:34.480 some issues last time you were here. Hi, Okay, shut 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:39.199 up now, you're absolutely not. You had said, I think 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:40.760 when you commit to somebody and you take them off 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.600 the market, I think it's your job as a woman. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.679 I don't think you should ever say no. People were 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.560 upset about that. She said, I'm talking about if you're 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.119 tired or somebody's like I'm tired. No, because at the 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:50.640 end of the day, you took that person off the market, 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.119 they can't go and be with someone else. So you 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.960 don't ever say no, clear that up and let people 0:17:55.000 --> 0:18:00.480 know exactly. People were furious. I mean, I still behind 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.720 whate like, I don't want I don't know if they 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.200 expect me to change that or not. It's not gonna 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:08.840 people were so mad about that. But the thing is, 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.200 I don't know, because I definitely I feel like it 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.359 goes both ways. It's for men and for women. It 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.040 goes both ways. So I still stand behind that. I 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.399 ain't Obama. No, But if he has crads, would you 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:29.240 tell him no? He say, oh my god, I'm not 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:33.880 even getting You're still gonna do it? What? No, that's 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.320 crazy right that she takes it back. She doesn't stand 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:40.359 by its involved. She takes it back. But man, listen. Okay, 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.800 So back to the music. Back to the music. I 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.680 fire the new album coming along. Now the EPs out 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:48.520 she didn't be in their part one. Make sure you 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.800 get that. I love it. Yes, So with the actual album. Now, 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.760 what's the timeline. The timeline is according to my soul clock. No, 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.720
