53
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: so consumed with the clickbait, and people are so entertained

54
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: by negativity that I want them to understand what what

55
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: the men sitting here outside of all of that means

56
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: to each other, outside of the noise, Like, this is

57
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: real life. This is This is not music business, this

58
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: is not entertainment, this is not TV. This is real life.

59
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: And I just want people to understand, you know, from

60
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: from your mouths and from your hearts, what you guys

61
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: mean to each other, because it's just it's just it's

62
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,920

Speaker 5: It's facts. Facts.

65
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we always had a relationship besides the business.

66
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 6: I believe that's the reason why the tourists called boys

67
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 6: for life.

68
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

69
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 6: It's a testament to our journey and our triumph, you know,

70
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 6: to where we're at today.

71
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, also to still choose, you know, to do this,

72
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying, despite of our differences and

73
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 8: and you know where we're at in life.

74
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 5: You know.

75
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 8: I remember when we was younger, we used to watch

76
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 8: The Five Heartbeats, you know what I'm saying. That was

77
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 8: like funny to us, you know what I'm saying, And

78
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 8: twenty some years later, still being able to essentially have

79
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 8: those movie moments, to come back together, to hug, to

80
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 8: forgive each other.

81
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 5: It's big. It's big.

82
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: Y'all need a choir, boy, Yeah.

83
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: I know all the spots. You know, at some point

84
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm turning the rock. Boy, I love it. It's gonna happen.

85
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: It's you know, I watched The Matrix a lot, and

86
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: there's a line in the Matrix we're saying, you don't

87
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: truly know someone until you fight them.

88
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.

89
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: You know. And from your brothers me and Jay too,

90
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: to your family, to whoever it is, that's just par

91
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: for the course. Absolutely, Like we're gonna get into it

92
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: about something, and there's oftentimes getting into it, getting into

93
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: it about greatness because everybody wants to be great, and

94
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: everybody has their own path of their idea of greatness.

95
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: And that fight and that that iron, that iron against

96
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: the iron, is the process of collaborating and understand how

97
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: we're going to navigate all of our feelings, all of

98
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: our processes into making something great that we can all

99
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: agree on. What is what is sin? Since you were

100
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: younger up until now, what is that process? Is it? Like, Okay,

101
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna vote if three or three or four it

102
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: and were doing it, or we got to have majority,

103
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: or you can see they just had a vote right there,

104
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: or is it? Or do you allocate each situation? Okay,

105
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: oh you'll have the last saying this one, or as

106
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: you'll have the last saying this one. Like how do

107
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: you guys allocate that part? That's a question in some

108
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: weird way, Like I feel like.

109
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 8: What's meant to be is meant to be right, and

110
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 8: we were aligned for a reason at a young age.

111
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: So I feel like when.

112
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 8: We we never really have to vote because we always

113
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 8: know when something feels right, that's the one that's yeah,

114
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 8: that's right, yeah, And when somebody may have a different

115
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 8: take on something, we always agree we're like, yeah, I

116
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 8: saw that too, So it's it's strange.

117
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 5: It's a strange camaraderie that just works.

118
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would have to agree with Fizz because it

119
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 6: was something I put in our group chat recently and

120
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 6: actually Ja Bull gave me a different perspective and his

121
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 6: respective kind of just like I sided to see it,

122
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 6: if Ale, and it kind of just it felt right.

123
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 6: It's set where it needs to sit, and we trust

124
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 6: each other, We trust our gifts, you know what I mean.

125
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 7: And I was going to say that because you were

126
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 7: speaking on you don't know someone till you fight them,

127
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 7: like you know, and talking about you guys experience, and

128
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 7: I think that's a that's a dynamic that people don't understand,

129
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 7: is that coming up together us all being pretty much

130
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 7: the same age. We're separate by maybe a few months.

131
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 7: You know, we're strong personalities. Is a scorpios a gemini

132
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 7: is a sagittarius. I'm leo, you know what I mean.

133
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 7: With us fighting each other for greatness, we were able

134
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 7: to understand that each one of us are really good

135
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 7: at what we specialize in, you know what I mean,

136
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 7: And so you kind of respect the powers, you know

137
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 7: what I mean?

138
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: And so when we come to talk.

139
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 7: About stuff, it's interesting because when we break things down,

140
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, it kind of like falls

141
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 7: in each category. Like he'll have a vision for lights

142
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 7: and staging, and he'll have a vision for the art,

143
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 7: and He'll have the vision for the clothes, and I'll

144
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 7: have the vision for the choreography. And it's kind of

145
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 7: like when we put it together, I like what he

146
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 7: has to say about that, and then I like what

147
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 7: he has to say about that, and then I like,

148
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, And it's really just kind

149
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 7: of like we don't all have the same vision for

150
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 7: the same thing, so we don't fight about the same thing.

151
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 6: That's crazy. That's like the commercial. We know we wrote

152
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 6: that tree before we hand it over the crash that

153
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 6: was all of us.

154
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's really a collective effort when be two

155
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 7: k steps out, like we all give each other our

156
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 7: space that we feel like we are experts in shall

157
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 7: I say?

158
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: And then that's what you see? You know. I love

159
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: that nuance. I wish more groups would just let the

160
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: greatness of each individual be what it's supposed to be

161
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: to elevate the group. I was in a group called TG.

162
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 5: Here we go.

163
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: Just the sauce. It's not gonna work with us. You

164
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: guys are special. You guys have a gift. You were saying,

165
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: you have a gift of allowing each other to be

166
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: great in the space and accepting that greatness and applying it.

167
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: No one's stepping on anybody's toes saying well I can

168
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: do that too, or you know what I'm saying, Well

169
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: I should be in charge. How come you get to be?

170
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's just none of that. That's why I

171
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: quit the group.

172
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 6: You're about to go back onto a shout shout out, tyree,

173
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 6: shout out.

174
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: That's my brother. I'm not going nowhere with them, nast

175
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: The show coming up, our last show. It is November

176
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: twenty second. It's the last time you will see this.

177
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: We gotta be there, bro, Yeah, we coming witness it. Yeah,

178
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: we coming her stories. You ain't heard them all? Lord Jesus.

179
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: That looks like a pretty dynamic group, shall I say?

180
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 8: It's like it's like Capricorn Capricorn. I see, that's probably

181
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 8: the issue. The two capricorns. The two Capricorn look the

182
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 8: Capricorn and the he's Libra.

183
00:11:53,360 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, I've seen I produce rain, show staging, lighting, smoke.

184
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: You can be in this group. You already got kicked out.

185
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: You already too much. He's at that's at a not

186
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: just at a high level, but at a current level.

187
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: And so in this thing, you really have to be

188
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: up to date or or forward thinking in order to

189
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: not just survive, but to thrive and stand out. And

190
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: so in my mind, I'm always pushing for the better

191
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: version of all of it, whatever the cost, whatever the costs.

192
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes it's not gonna balance even out. Sometimes we're

193
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: going to be under in the negative to make sure

194
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: that we're better. And that's all I care about, is

195
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: that we're striving to be better because the people that

196
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: are that are buying into it, the people who believe

197
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: in it, the thing that they are receiving from whatever

198
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: this is, we don't know what that is. We don't

199
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: know whether it's healing, whether it's you know, we don't

200
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: know what it is. So we always have to we

201
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: always we have we're responsible to be at our best

202
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: in our effort, in our everything, so that whoever's supposed

203
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: to receive from this, whoever supposed to be fed from this,

204
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: can receive the right thing. We can't cheat it, no

205
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: part of it. That was a lot. But that's just

206
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: so that's just how I feel, man, because I saw I.

207
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 7: Saw We won't talk about which show that was on,

208
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 7: but I did see a clip that you just did

209
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 7: an interview on and he was speaking on like understanding

210
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 7: like that what we're doing is not just for us

211
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 7: straight up.

212
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you want to kind of elaborate, Yeah.

213
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 8: Nah, I think that, you know, and being a part

214
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 8: of a collective it is intechral, you know, to the product,

215
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 8: the finished product, that we are all aligned and that

216
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 8: people truly receive a great experience. And yeah, that's cool.

217
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 8: I know you saw that check your boy out.

218
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 7: You know, I thought it was I thought it was

219
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 7: a great perspective to understand that this is really this

220
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 7: is really for the fans, the supporters, the people who

221
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 7: are being the hard our money to come see a

222
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 7: great event, you know what I mean. So we got

223
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 7: to put our egos to the side and try to

224
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 7: come with the best product so that they can enjoy

225
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 7: what they came to see.

226
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, and possibly do it again. You know what I'm saying.

227
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: Take me back to when you guys are kids, and

228
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: and now it's all for you, and you're in a

229
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: rehearsal studio and you're rehearsing for hopefully something great, hopefully

230
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: a record deal, hopefully a number one single. At one

231
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: point during that process, did you say to yourself, oh shit,

232
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: we got something.

233
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 8: I would say the early rehearsals for me, you know

234
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 8: what I'm saying, Like after after we all, after I

235
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 8: met you all, you know what I mean, at that

236
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 8: New Year's party and we got into like rehearsal. We

237
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 8: was in the garage in that one little that one

238
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 8: little city Colefax House, Colefax House.

239
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 5: Fact it was.

240
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 8: It was I believe it was a sliding door mirror.

241
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 8: There was one sliding door mirror and just that work,

242
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 8: that work us building, you know, as a group. I

243
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 8: think from that, from that moment for me, I was like, nah,

244
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 8: this this is different.

245
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

246
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 8: If I could choose to go on a journey, you

247
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 8: know what I mean and sharpen myself, this is this

248
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 8: is how I we want to do it.

249
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 5: So I would say those first couple of rehearsals, I

250
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 5: was like, oh yeah, yeah.

251
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: I was like, you guys, that would at this point eleven,

252
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: I was.

253
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 5: Like fourteen that was like fourteenth.

254
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

255
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 6: I remember knowing we had some sauce because we came

256
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 6: from a previous group. We knew there was some some

257
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 6: energy amongst us. But I remember that night we seen Tomorrow.

258
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 6: It was like, yo, he's the missing piece.

259
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: I knew that night. I'm like, yeah, we get him

260
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: in the group. It's a rap.

261
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 6: You came over to the house, we rehearsed. We immediately

262
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 6: we knew we had something special. Everyone used to come

263
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 6: over to the house like Dusty Child three o W.

264
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 6: So we would be, you know, we would be performing

265
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 6: for them. Maybe I'm leaving some people out, but we

266
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 6: that confidence. We knew that we had something. We just

267
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 6: needed to continue to work on our skills.

268
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Yep.

269
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 6: One mirror in the closet.

270
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: I know what he's talking about.

271
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: That was taken down.

272
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean for for for me just

273
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: to add to it.

274
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 7: When I when I first got into the group, the

275
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 7: initial first group before o'mary came, I met Fizz and

276
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 7: Ras kind of came in at the same time as me,

277
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 7: And I told you I played football. I didn't plan

278
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 7: on doing music, but I was into music and dancing

279
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 7: and singing and everything. And so when I met him

280
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 7: and he had told me that he was in this

281
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 7: group since he was eight years old or seven years old,

282
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 7: something like that. Right, I'm like, Yo, this dude is

283
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 7: serious about what he's trying to do. Let me take

284
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 7: this serious. I don't want to bs what on what

285
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 7: they've been doing? Right, And so we go through that

286
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 7: journey and that configuration didn't work, but we knew that

287
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 7: we had a higher level of performance. That couldn't go

288
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 7: to that higher level of performance. And it's no slight

289
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 7: to the other guys, but not only they were a

290
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 7: lot taller than us. They couldn't dance like us, you

291
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. And we wanted to be a

292
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 7: high performance group. So when we met, Oh, you know,

293
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 7: I was a wild boy, you know what I mean? Yeah,

294
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 7: this ain't crazy in a circle by himself.

295
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: Oh taught us some stuff, you know what I mean.

296
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: He was coming out of Inglewood. I was from confidence.

297
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: So it was two different worlds, you know what I'm saying.

298
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 7: But he just came in with a lot of confidence,

299
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 7: and I like confident people. I know, I'm a confident person.

300
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 7: So it's like, I want to be able to beat

301
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 7: me and not you feel like you need to dim

302
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 7: your light, like come back at me, you know what

303
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 7: I mean.

304
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: And he came with that energy like what's up? You

305
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm like, what's up? Okay. I

306
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: was like, you know, let's do it.

307
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 7: We got together, bro, and I know, for me, we

308
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 7: just did a breakdown. We hadn't even did a song yet,

309
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 7: you know what I mean.

310
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: It was just it was just a breakdown, dance break

311
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,879

Speaker 10: The master sack.

387
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,880

388
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: having this experience of in a sense, being denied something

389
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 2: right that obviously and for you at this point, you

390
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: five six years in, you've given up.

391
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: Really your childhood. Yeah to me, I was.

392
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: And you're going around the industry and everyone says, no,

393
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: what's the thought process for y'all at this point?

394
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: Do you? I mean, can you can you go back

395
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: to that time to think of.

396
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, at that time, the thought process was

397
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 8: more of like I was just having fun. I was

398
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 8: having fun. I had like he said, I did the

399
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 8: Kids Choice Awards. I made a little bit of money

400
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 8: off of that. I was buying shoes out. I was like,

401
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 8: you know, I'm okay, this is cool. When came around,

402
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 8: like I said, he was like the big bro. So

403
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 8: he had us in the streets with some girls.

404
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,439

Speaker 7: like as far as trying to put another person in

471
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 7: the group, trying to do this, try to do that,

472
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 7: then giving us the threat of if y'all don't get

473
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 7: to and we would come.

474
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: Together, bro, And I don't know how.

475
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 7: We were so mature at this time and so determined,

476
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 7: but we was like not breaking up, We're not changing

477
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 7: the group. We're gonna ride out and we're gonna go

478
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 7: get this deal, you know what I mean. And those

479
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 7: conversations that we would have, I mean sometimes it could

480
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 7: get chippy because it wasn't just about that. We would

481
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 7: be honest with each other if one of us did

482
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 7: something that we didn't like, you know what I'm saying.

483
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 1: And just to speak on that, when he said they

484
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: just had a vote, We just did that like a

485
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: month ago. As grown men. I don't like that when

486
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: you did that in two thousands, bla blah blah. I

487
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: don't like that. Well, you know what I mean.

488
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 7: So when you ask how did we get back here

489
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 7: like the tour that's about to happen, it was because

490
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 7: we took it back to the old days as brothers

491
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 7: and we had a hard conversation. We won't go into detail,

492
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 7: but we had a our talk. Yeah, and that's why

493
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 7: it's still standing.

494
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: Straight up. Well, this is R and B money, so

495
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: we got to drop it. Gotta drop something.

496
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 6: So that member that they tried to put in the group,

497
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 6: it was actually little man from Third Story O K

498
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 6: Young K Young, K.

499
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool.

500
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 6: It's pretty interesting because back in the day, I had

501
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 6: audition to be in their group, So I thought that

502
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 6: was pretty interesting.

503
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, to.

504
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 6: Know, bro, Third Story, But that was a determination in

505
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 6: the in the synergy that we had. We had cut

506
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 6: some cool demos, but the synergy between the four was

507
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 6: just special, you know what I mean. And shout out

508
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 6: to to K Young because he wound up writing a

509
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 6: bunch of records for B two K on our soundtracks.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

517
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,360

00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: That was the first time, like a team or what

00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: which one y'all did to talk about? You talking about rezon?

525
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: What do you want to say? You know? Tricky was like,

00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: just keep going, just keep going. I'm like, all right,

527
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: keep on talking.

528
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 5: Red zone.

529
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to agree with Oh, that's when we

530
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: had that heat. But correct me, I'm wrong. We was

531
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: in New York.

532
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 6: I think the first demo we recorded was I'm Not Finished, right,

533
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 6: That was the I think it was pretty It was

534
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 6: pretty cool.

535
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: But the magic we got the fantasy too. Didn't fantasy. No,

536
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: both didn't do fantasy. It could have been saying we

537
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: did a couple of record.

538
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 5: Yeh, we did a couple of records.

539
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

540
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: Wow, our other brother you know, he actually it was

541
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,960

Speaker 1: He got a few?

546
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 5: He got the rest past?

547
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so you found the magic It read zone.

548
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: I would I would.

549
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 7: I would agree because I feel like when we were

550
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 7: doing the records that ra is talking about, it was

551
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 7: so fresh to us.

552
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: It was new to us, you know what I mean.

553
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 7: We didn't really understand like the moment I would say,

554
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 7: we wasn't present, you know what I mean. But now

555
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 7: we're moving into like we didn't record it like x

556
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 7: some on the records and they're saying that we still

557
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 7: don't got one.

558
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I mean.

559
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: We're about to send y'all that Atlanta to go work

560
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: with Tricky.

561
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 7: Just the studio alone, when you walk past, it's like

562
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 7: wal you got blue cam trail with the hottest record out.

563
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: She just comes by, and then somebody else.

564
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 7: Then it's the stars that we earned stars yet, but

565
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 7: it's the stars that were looking at like oh dangn serious,

566
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 7: and then seventeen writers come in you know what I'm saying,

567
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 7: like we got one all right.

568
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: It's like that moment I think woke us up.

569
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, you felt that because our demos, we've heard ourselves

570
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 6: answer your question, we've heard ourselves on records, but that magic, Yeah,

571
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 6: it was just.

572
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: You could tell that they were on another level.

573
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 7: Then, not to slight anybody against hits or hits.

574
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: Tricky knew what he was doing. You know what I'm saying.

575
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't by accident. He is who he is

576
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: for listen still still.

577
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah right yeah.

578
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 7: And then Dream did everything for the second album, which

579
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 7: is the first album, no second second album.

580
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 5: Everything was the second.

581
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: Everything is on the second.

582
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 8: When we went back and did the more records, which

583
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 8: was just because we dropped them two albums.

584
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: And I know that's Dame make Feerson was spreading that

585
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: money around.

586
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 7: He think that. I think that the reason why we

587
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 7: went back to Tricky so fast is because Tricky got us.

588
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 7: He knew what Yeah, and then when Dream came with everything,

589
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 7: it was like whoa Like I still felt like that

590
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 7: was a single for B two K you know what

591
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 7: I mean? That didn't come out? You know what I

592
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 7: mean because every time we perform it fan favorite, you

593
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 7: know what I mean, like big time, And I didn't

594
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 7: even know who the Dream was at that time, and he.

595
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: Was real hum he was.

596

Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, I dream. You told the dream No?

00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: come in with a line. We've all been there. I

610
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: couldn't get on like you know what they got it.

611
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: I can name you ten songs right now that the

612
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:47,160

614
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,400

615
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: The nigga only be having only this two and a half.

Speaker 2: Drops thirteen weeks number one, did your life immediately change?

618
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,320

619
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: for the people out there, a record deal does not

Speaker 2: change your life.

621
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: No, yeah, it does not change your life. Dollars. That's

622
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: a good question. Run through it a record deal without traction, yeah.

623
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah, because now record deals kind of come

00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 2: with traction because you're already going. Yeah, were talking about

625
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: niggas that's been in this ship. We all been in

626
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,759

Speaker 5: after show.

651
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,880

652
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 8: like one fan with one poster, and then the next

653

656
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: because you're gonna get to that later. Things were starting

657
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: to really start to change too.

658
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 6: But like but when you get that record, you got

659
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 6: time of a Toller pushing the button.

660
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean around that time, excuse me, around that time in.

661
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 6: Sync backs boys out, so you know, they pushed the button.

662
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 6: So we started like doing a lot of like good

663
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 6: Morning America. We started doing like like it was a

664
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 6: different kind of push two.

665
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: Are y'all went straight to on the road. On the road,

666
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: what y'all doing like the mall and in store type ship?

667
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. We did school school school tours.

668
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: Great for us. School six that's the separator for y'all

669
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: facts fact formers. I mean, we live up everywhere.

670
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 5: Exactly.

671
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: It's like once you see B two K, it's like

672
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: you're in Yeah, and that's a lot of you know,

673
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: a lot of what's missing today.

674
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's no superstars man because group there start there,

675
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 8: but then because you can't stay together.

676
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: Soul it's a thing where it's a thing where maybe

677
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: you're on the fence about the record, but then when

678
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: you see him perform it, it all makes sense. Everything

679
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: like that. That's old school facts.

680
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 6: What's crazy too, because that records Aha was really like

681
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 6: a pop like a main what would you say dr.

682
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 6: It was't not strictly R and B because we went

683
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 6: back and forth with singles.

684
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 7: Really, I think that it just was I think that

685
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 7: it was a sound that was coming from Atlanta that

686
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 7: hadn't hit yet. It was a little bit like when

687
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 7: you look at the drum pattern, like how he had

688
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 7: it structured, you know what I mean. It was what

689
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 7: it was supposed to be. Is just was a little early,

690
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 7: you know what I mean. And then music actually end

691
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 7: up adopting that be pattern. Then it became the biggest

692
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 7: thing going in the South.

693
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: You know.

694
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 7: Interesting about that record though, is they dropped it and

695
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 7: nine eleven hit and everything got shut down, you know,

696
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 7: and we had a we had a problem at radio

697
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 7: to get that to work because of what you said.

698
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: We was a visual fact.

699
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 7: So when we went to go premiere our video on

700
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 7: one O six in Park, the crowd had been removed.

701
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 7: It was just free and AJ it was real sad, you.

702
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: Know what I mean. And it wasn't like engaging like that.

703
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 7: We didn't get to go on the show and you

704
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 7: know connect with the with the t D land you know,

705
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 7: and by Guy's grace, he gave us a second time

706
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 7: to read like do a new joint of the day

707
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 7: on one O six and Park shout out to BT

708
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 7: and that's when everything picked up because we were able

709
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 7: to run out and we were able to vibe with

710
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 7: the fans and the countdown was back alive and you know,

711
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 7: the visual was really pushing everything. And then the record followed,

712
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 7: you know, behind.

713
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: That because that part, as you say, like you're a

714
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: visual group, but you're also guys with true personality, right,

715
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: you understand what I'm saying, So you're able to talk

716
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: and have those conversations and make those connections. Yeah, you

717
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It ain't just yeah, you know

718
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, we dropped it. It's none of that,

719
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: like you all four of you guys are engaging. Yeah, yeah, completely,

720
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: And at this point the fans are just trying to

721
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: figure out who they like the most because they're connecting

722
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: with all of them. Somebody's gonna have the edge one

723
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: day because they say something cool. You know what I'm saying.

724
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna have the edge because they do a little

725
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: dance that's cooler, or the backflip or a backflip. You

726

00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: to blend like it's always something, And that's what you

730
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,480

Speaker 1: star personalities to where it's a fight.

732
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 5: It's a frenzy dynamics man.

733
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: Now, you guys what my father would call it. We're polished.

734
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 2: That's the first thing I thought when I saw Yankee.

735
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 2: And you know, for me, I grew up in a group.

736
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 2: I grew up me and my brothers, and we practice,

737
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: and we practiced, and so we were we were we

738
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: were always very critical of everything and everybody.

739
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, niggas don't practice.

740
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 5: Practice it was.

741
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 2: It was some ship that we just held within ourselves

742
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: because we had to practice so much so when we

743
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: saw people. And it's honestly to this day a reason

744
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 2: why I don't go to a lot of conscience because

745
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: I don't think a lot of people are polished. And

746
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: I don't you know, listen, it takes a lot to

747
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 2: get dressed, fine parking. Now, I got kids, so I

748
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,920

Speaker 2: my baby to see them, right. So, but people don't

751
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,120

831
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: there's so many grown women here at the show. It

832
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: was there coming of age. That's how it looked for

833
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: us on the outside. What is going on here?

834
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,200

835
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 6: that record should have came We was eighteen. So I

836
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,160

00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 6: your sister.

838
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: I want to manage. I could get to it when

839
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: I said, when I heard that song and it, I

840
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: want to manage.

841
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 2: You to say, you really understand it as an adult now,

842
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 2: but it's a massive generator, has a mass.

843
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:35,239

Speaker 1: it's partnering crime right here with day.

846
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,520

Speaker 1: on our radar. Yeah, niggas is wrong. Talk about like

891
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: there's there have been so many moments in between all

00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: of that, you know, from O going solo, to the

893
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:31,120

Speaker 1: together for a really, really, really special thing. Talk about

897
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: the conversation. You said there was a hard conversation that

898
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: even got you into a space to where you could

899
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: be together, sitting at the same table, in the same room.

900
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: Talk about the conversation that made it a tour. That's

901
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: a good question. Where do we start, gentlemen.

902
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 8: I think we should start at twenty nineteen, you know,

903
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 8: the first Millennium tour.

904
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: I felt like.

905
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 8: Prior to that, we had been, you know, attempting to

906
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 8: get together several times before that, but a tour just

907
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 8: never materialized. And you know Ras, you know, I would say,

908
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 8: he's the He's the true like mascot if we if

909
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 8: we need we need it, we need to be.

910
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 5: Two K mascot because because Ras.

911
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 8: Was not letting this go this what's going to happen? Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

912
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 8: he was like nah, I'm getting my boys back together,

913
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 8: and this is happening, and what you Yeah, I don't

914
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 8: care what you're doing. Oh, I don't care what y'all

915
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 8: got going on, you know what I'm saying.

916
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: If you're incomplete yeah.

917
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 5: Years Yeah, And you know I felt that way too.

918
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 5: I felt that way.

919
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 8: I felt like, you know, regardless of what we went through,

920
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 8: it was important for us to still be the masters

921
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 8: of our destiny, you know what I'm saying. And I

922
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 8: think that twenty nineteen, although we were all in different spaces,

923
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 8: that was kind of like that maturation you know, in

924
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 8: our own personal lives, and y'all can definitely speak to that,

925
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 8: but for me, it was like it was time again.

926
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 8: It was a different conversation. I was in a different place,

927
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. I became a father, you know.

928
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 8: I wanted to show my kids. You know, they heard

929
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 8: about B two K. You know, I showed them, but

930
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 8: they didn't see it, you know what I'm saying. So

931
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 8: for me, it was important to kind of run it back.

932
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 5: And now even you.

933
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 8: Know, going off of the first Millennium Tour to now,

934
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 8: like it's just been so much maturing and growing, you know,

935
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 8: within the scope of our brotherhood and also personally so

936
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 8: for me, I think twenty nineteen was like that time

937
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 8: where it was just like, Okay, now let's unpacked our experience.

938
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 5: Now let's go through our unfoldment.

939
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 8: And even though we still were going through things like

940
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 8: it makes so much sense now, you know, in the

941
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 8: journey in the wake of our group and what it

942
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 8: meant for us to be together. But I want you

943
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 8: all to definitely speak on that and say how what

944
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 8: what that was for y'all. I'll go bree, I'll be brief.

945
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 6: It was pretty crazy because for many years we weren't

946
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 6: talking at all. Like I was in China for like

947
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 6: seven years. I know they still Yeah, well you know what.

948
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about that, we're talking about that right now.

949
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: Long story short.

950
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 6: Were playing NBA Entertainment League in Santa Monica. Somebody approached

951
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 6: me with an opportunity to perform at the Great Wall

952
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 6: of China.

953
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh you was pressing that for so long, bro, come on,

954
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: let's go to China. We can perform on a great Wall.

955
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm not going to.

956
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 6: At least together, they would have took the three so anyway,

957
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 6: at least she wound up hosting it. She wound up

958
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 6: doing the show two thousand and four.

959
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:10,959
Speaker 1: It was dope.

960
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 6: Opportunity came for me to you know, to to to

961
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 6: go to China, and I took it right. And so

962
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 6: I was over there touring and.

963
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: I get stuck. I was making money. I had fun,

964
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: like seven years.

965
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 6: I came on one time for about twenty seven days,

966
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 6: like after the first four years. People it was pretty little.

967
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 6: He live over there too, but speak. I could speak

968
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 6: a few words, and it was a time. It was

969
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 6: a time, but it was dope because when I got

970
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 6: off the plane, I had the offer for the Beach

971
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 6: a K tour, so I was able to It took

972
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 6: two years, but I was able to get in everybody's

973
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 6: hands and everybody was able to do what they need

974
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 6: to do.

975
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: And fizz, what's up? I see you on that show.

976
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 5: You're looking good?

977
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: Funck that though you ready for the story?

978
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 6: Listen, Oh make wants some upgrades book producing films.

979
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, nigga, I mean, what's up? Like you

980
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: know all that? No, it was crazy. We were talking

981
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: about the point about this when this tour boys boys,

982
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 1: the hard conversations.

983
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 6: I feel like from from my point of view, there

984
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,479
Speaker 6: was so much stuff that was said in the past,

985
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 6: you know, rather it be in the media, rather the

986
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 6: jokes being you know how I Maria felt about, you know,

987
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 6: when he went solo. I always felt like when he

988
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 6: went solo, it would have been dope if we were

989
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 6: in his videos and we were like we were able

990
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 6: to public support him. But the breakup was so the

991
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 6: way it was, it just kind of made us even

992
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 6: more distant, you know what I mean, we have to

993
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 6: figure out life. And finally, like I got this from book,

994
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 6: when we approached the twenty nineteen situation, it's almost like

995
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 6: we approach it as where we left off as nineteen

996
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 6: and twenty year olds. So we didn't come at you know,

997
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 6: if it was more fun or if I didn't have

998
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 6: what I was dealing with at the time. You know,

999
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,959
Speaker 6: for someone you know, who's had a very successful career,

1000
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 6: he wouldn't want to be around something like that, you

1001
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So you know, we got to

1002
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 6: conduct ourselves, you know, as trooper professionals and mature man

1003
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 6: at all times, and you know, I feel like that

1004
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 6: kind of pushed us back, you know some you know,

1005
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 6: and then it just it was a lot of growth

1006
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 6: and I felt like when we aligned, because we started

1007
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 6: to become cooler and we started to talk, and we

1008
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 6: knew that if there ever would be an opportunity for

1009
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 6: us to you know, come back together, we would just

1010
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 6: have to do our thing and let God bring it

1011
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 6: back together.

1012
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: You and I.

1013
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 6: What that means by is like, don't attagon iszer Mari

1014
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 6: in public, or you know, don't make any jokes, you

1015
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 6: know what I mean? Just little things like that and

1016
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 6: most importantly work on ourselves. And it seemed like the

1017
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 6: time just a line that's from my point of view.

1018
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 6: What do you think, Drew Fizzo, what's the question.

1019
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: The process or conversation of getting to this tour to.

1020
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 5: The voice for process of the conversation.

1021
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: I think, or just just the part that made you

1022
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: consider it made you be like, you know, I.

1023
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 5: Think for me.

1024
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 8: Going back to twenty nineteen, I felt like me personally,

1025
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 8: I didn't walk into that situation right.

1026
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't.

1027
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 5: I wasn't right. So afterwards, I think.

1028
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 8: It was twenty twenty two, me, Bug and Rasz had

1029
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 8: a group chat that we had started, and I had

1030
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 8: invited them over to my house because I just felt

1031
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 8: like it was a time where I needed to.

1032
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 5: Make right with them.

1033
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 8: I didn't have a line on O at the time,

1034
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 8: but then it was I think a couple months after

1035
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 8: that where I came to the show and then publicly

1036
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 8: apologized to him.

1037
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 5: So for me, it was after I was able to

1038
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 5: make amends with everybody.

1039
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 8: I just knew it would be a certain amount of

1040
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 8: time before we could come back together and have that

1041
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 8: camaraderie to where we knew it you know, it'll manifest itself.

1042
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, it's my turn. Yeah, it was. It

1043
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: was some years. It was some years. Yo, it was

1044
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 1: some shit, it was some years.

1045
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 10: It's some ship.

1046
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: Where do I start? Like I said, we all, we all,

1047
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: we all play different roles in this.

1048
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 7: You know, we all did what we did on twenty

1049
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 7: nineteen tour to make it not like go to like

1050
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 7: it's full potential, shall I say, to be able to

1051
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 7: take it.

1052
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: Where like it was possible to go.

1053
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 7: You know, I like to say that at thirty five,

1054
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 7: my eighteen year old self was still guiding my life,

1055
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 7: if that makes sense, you know what I'm saying. And

1056
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 7: the process after twenty nineteen for me, which I don't

1057
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 7: know if they know, and I know he doesn't know,

1058
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 7: but it was to bring them to understand that we

1059
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 7: were in control of it not happening right, and to

1060
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 7: touch on his mindset as someone who had a successful

1061
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 7: solo career outside of the group, you know, and everything

1062
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 7: that he had worked for. We not there shooting with

1063
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 7: him in the gym, so to speak, when he's doing

1064
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 7: on Marion, you know what I'm saying, And the flights

1065
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 7: and the rehearsals, and him even dealing with growing out

1066
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 7: of being in the group and going on that journey

1067
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 7: by himself. Like I told him, I said, broke got heart.

1068
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 7: He got heart because no matter what came his way

1069
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 7: of get back in the group, no matter what came,

1070
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 7: if something wasn't as successful we thought it was, he

1071
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 7: never stopped.

1072
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: So for him to come back to.

1073
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 7: This group, it has to be something he can trust

1074
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 7: with his business, you know what I'm saying, Like he's

1075
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 7: not about to go out there and embarrass himself because

1076
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 7: we want to do something crazy, you know. And now

1077
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 7: he got to stand in that light or he got

1078
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 7: to go into an interview and he has to you know,

1079
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 7: answer hard questions that ain't.

1080
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: Got nothing to do with his new phone that he's promoting.

1081
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 7: Like there's a whole mindset that we have to change

1082
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 7: coming back if anything is going to happen. So when

1083
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 7: we talk about the twenty twenty two group chat, they

1084
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 7: don't know, but my whole objective was to work on them,

1085
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 7: to bring them to a place that could be trusted,

1086
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 7: that we could be genuine, we could understand our wrongs,

1087
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 7: we could write them, and.

1088
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: Then we could all come back together, you know, wholeheartedly as.

1089
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 7: A group that could actually function and get to current

1090
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 7: day right now, and we could actually go do what

1091
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 7: need to be done, you know.

1092
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: And so I feel like to answer the question in

1093
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: a nutshell.

1094
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 7: We're here because we've matured and we've accepted all of

1095
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 7: our wrongs and we've admitted it to each other that bro, my.

1096
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: Bad, Bro, my bad.

1097
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 7: Nobody else needed to see this publicly. This was something

1098
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 7: that we had to do accountability, you know what I'm saying.

1099
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,919
Speaker 7: And we did that to where now it has nothing

1100
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,919
Speaker 7: to do with the tour. We laugh and we joke.

1101
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 7: We got to stuff, you know what.

1102
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like it was real because we got to like,

1103
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's money. I feel like I saw the

1104
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: whole thing. I saw the whole thing we're talking about

1105
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: it's off camera, but it was so much passion.

1106
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 5: Yo.

1107
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 6: You want, you want, hey, you want listen? Life is

1108
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 6: real simple, my bad. You know you want your life

1109
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 6: to end up.

1110
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Ultimately, even to just go quickly. We now understand that

1111
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: when you come into an industry that has.

1112
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 7: A lot of vultures, a lot of evil, dark people

1113
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 7: you know, uh, and they can get their hands.

1114
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: On either all of you or one of you.

1115
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 7: In Divide and Conquer, we now get that we can't

1116
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 7: allow those outside voices to come and side. And now

1117
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 7: we have the conversations of whatever has been said from

1118
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 7: whatever entity you know, and no longer are we dealing

1119
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 7: with it by ourselves, making decisions about it by ourselves.

1120
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: We're putting it on the table and we're saying, bro,

1121
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: this what just came through? Nah nah nah nah nah

1122
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: nah nah na nah.

1123
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 7: Opposed to back then you kind of let it wash

1124
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 7: you up. Next thing, you know, you're thinking different, you're

1125
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 7: moving different. I could do it by myself. I'm bigger

1126
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 7: than the program. I could do it, you know what

1127
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 7: I mean. So I feel like us understanding that that

1128
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 7: is what the design is in this industry. And this

1129
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 7: is a shout out to all you young artists that's

1130
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 7: out here. John need to understand. Once it goes big

1131
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 7: here they come, everybody wants to sink. They clause in

1132
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 7: and either they can take the whole thing or they

1133
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 7: could try to rip one out, you know what I mean,

1134
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 7: and they gonna get in your ear.

1135
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: You can do it by yourself. You could do it.

1136
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 7: I got a situation for you know what I mean,

1137
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 7: and the next thing, you know, you find it all dismantled,

1138
01:01:59,040 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 7: you know.

1139
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I also want to say that was important

1140
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 8: and integral too, because I felt like I did get

1141
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 8: an opportunity personally. You remember when you came out to

1142
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 8: the show, when Bud came out to the show. Just

1143
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 8: seeing and knowing you know, that genuine energy, you know

1144
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 8: what I'm saying, and being able to have real mature

1145
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 8: adult conversations. That was like very important for me. And

1146
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 8: also just recognizing and realizing that, you know, our split

1147
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 8: didn't come from our personal decision. You know, it wasn't

1148
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 8: us deciding that we wanted to separate, you know what

1149
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 8: I'm saying. It was just kind of something that happens

1150
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 8: when people talk about me as a solo artist, they

1151
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 8: don't even understand that was never even in my plan.

1152
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 5: You know, it kind of happened, you know, and.

1153
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 8: Not even realizing and recognizing how that made it them feel,

1154
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying, and how I felt about

1155
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 8: you know, it just was a lot of back and forth.

1156
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 8: And I would say, while we are able to be

1157
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 8: where we are today again because we all fully understand

1158
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 8: that we are the authors and the masters of our

1159
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 8: desk to me, and we are choosing, you know, as brothers,

1160
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 8: to show up and to hear each other and to

1161
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 8: respect each other. And that's big, and that is the

1162
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 8: reason why we are in sync. That's why you know,

1163
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 8: when you see us performed, it's the energy there because

1164
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,479
Speaker 8: we hadn't been through the storm, you know what I'm saying,

1165
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 8: and now we have, We've come out of the storm,

1166
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 8: and now you know, we're a lot stronger.

1167
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 5: So that was important for me, you know what I mean.

1168
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 8: And I appreciate everything that y'all said because these you know,

1169
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 8: outside of the scope of us having our personal conversations,

1170
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 8: this is a real interview, you know, with two people

1171
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 8: that we truly respect.

1172
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: This is therapy.

1173
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 8: I mean.

1174
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 2: The fact that you even said that, right, that's therapy.

1175
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 2: What And I've you know, obviously I've known oh the

1176
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 2: longest because wildly enough, when the breakup happens, we're the

1177
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 2: first people that period he comes to work with and

1178
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 2: we're like, where's everybody else? Right, And because nobody even knew,

1179
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 2: We definitely didn't know, right, it was super early, and

1180
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 2: I got to and I got to see and experience

1181
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: how he felt, and he's like, bro, like, I'm just

1182
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 2: I missed my niggas, like I was just we was

1183
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 2: just a group last week pretty much, you know what

1184
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying, And you know what I mean. So so

1185
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 2: for me to see it now and over the time,

1186
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 2: right in the brotherhood that we've built together, seeing you

1187
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: guys here today, I see four grown men.

1188
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: Who have healed and who are all in.

1189
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 2: The space of understanding, because I feel like, especially within

1190
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 2: our community right as you know, six black men here,

1191
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 2: we don't have a lot of understanding, especially amongst each other.

1192
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 2: You know, I saw a video the other day. It

1193
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 2: was random, and it was it was a young It

1194
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 2: was a young fellow loading a gun and he's like,

1195
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 2: I'm loading. I don't I'm only loading his gun for

1196
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 2: black people. He's like, I'm not loading his gun for

1197
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 2: anybody else, and I'm like, shit, that's really an issue,

1198
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 2: the fact that we have those type of internal things

1199
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 2: amongst each other, and yet it's different from your group,

1200
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 2: but it lives in the same space of just not

1201
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 2: having understanding and not being able to talk or you know,

1202
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 2: I teach my son every room you walk in, if

1203
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 2: you see another black man, especially, say what's up and

1204
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 2: not a bullshit what's up, hey man?

1205
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: What's up man?

1206
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 2: And sometimes you may get you may get some bad interest,

1207
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 2: but you did your part to at least give a

1208
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 2: sense of ease, and we're just not taught that amongst

1209
01:05:59,480 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 2: each other.

1210
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: There's always somebody, like you said, trying to divide us

1211
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: because the power that we have together is.

1212
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 2: So strong that they have to and they're continuing to

1213
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 2: do that. So with you guys, just even coming back

1214
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 2: together and doing a tour together, if y'all gonna do

1215
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 2: more music together, just y'all brotherhood period and showing that

1216
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 2: to the world is bigger. Facts, it's bigger than just y'all.

1217
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 2: Y'all are an example facts, you know what I'm saying.

1218
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Me and him talk about this all the time. Army

1219
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 2: Money Podcasts started off as a side quest now it's

1220
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 2: a purpose bigger because it is actually bigger than us,

1221
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So it's like, this is

1222
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 2: something we have to do to continue to show the

1223
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 2: type of brotherhood that we have and to put brothers

1224
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 2: like y'all on this couch to show the brotherhood that

1225
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 2: y'all have so that the youngs that may be watching this.

1226
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: Can say, nah, man, I need to do this with

1227
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: my guys. Facts, it's cool.

1228
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 2: It's cool to do some stuff by yourself, it is,

1229
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 2: but just the brotherhood of that, not even just a group,

1230
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 2: but just if it's if it's just in business, if

1231
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 2: it's in you know.

1232
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: Y'all group texts.

1233
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 8: I think that's that's the most important thing with any

1234
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 8: of it and why it may feel like therapy is

1235
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 8: just communication. A lot of people lack communication, and now

1236
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 8: that we have a group text and are able to

1237
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 8: communicate with one another, it just makes everything smooth and easier,

1238
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 8: you know, to just work together.

1239
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: This is great to see.

1240
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 8: When you can't communicate, you can't do anything. And it's

1241
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 8: a good example. We all have sons, you know. It's

1242
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 8: a good example for our sons.

1243
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 5: Facts. They're going to go through it at some point,

1244
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 5: but hey, you can come back from it.

1245
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: That's facts. Oh no, I was just taking it all

1246
01:07:53,360 --> 01:08:05,360

01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 2: But the fact that this was a movie also that,

1437
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 2: let's be very honest, nobody believed in it. Nobody believed

1438
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,719
Speaker 2: in it, and right, they didn't fully see the vision

1439
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 2: of what that meant and what and and what you

1440
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 2: guys meant those numbers right until those numbers hit. So

1441
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 2: you guys got hit records. It's you know, tours, all

1442

01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: this cracking.

1473
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,519

Speaker 8: We had just broke up, oh ship January twenty ninth.

1477
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:26,320

1478
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 5: Yeah. I was like, damn, nigga, I ain't got no group,

01:20:59,400 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 1: No.

1485
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 8: It's funny because I didn't remember it like that, but

1486
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 8: it was. It was so much going on during that time.

1487
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess, I guess I was excited about

1488
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 8: the excitement of the you know, because when it came out,

1489
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 8: y'all remember like people were dancing in the movie.

1490
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was crazy.

1491
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:28,599
Speaker 1: It was like the dancing Black Panther. When I went

1492
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: into one of the showings and setting it back and

1493
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: they were in the aisles dancing. Yeah, that's great battling,

1494
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 1: that's classic.

1495
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,919
Speaker 8: In hindsight, I'm so happy that we got to expand

1496
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 8: the brand, you know what I mean in that way,

1497
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 8: and you got served with such an incredible process, you

1498
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying, because prior to that, you know,

1499
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 8: I hadn't done any lengthy films, you know what I'm saying.

1500
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 8: So to be around all that energy, it was truly exciting,

1501
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. It was unfortunate that so

1502
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 8: much was going on that we didn't get to kind

1503
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 8: of live in that. Like we didn't get to hit

1504
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 8: the red carpet. We didn't get to, you know what

1505
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 8: I'm saying, like show up and really be like, yeah,

1506
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 8: we did that, and and.

1507
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 7: What came after that, we didn't get a chance to

1508
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 7: capitalize as like how you said they didn't see the

1509
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 7: vision and then look what it did. Then you had

1510
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 7: all of these other dance movies. Then you had America's

1511
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 7: best dance crew, the TV show. It's like, you know

1512
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,839
Speaker 7: a little bit kind of like the ones that launched

1513
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:32,600
Speaker 7: that that.

1514
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 5: You Gotta Stop, Rasby, Gotta Stop.

1515
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: We knew it was huge. Jo. We had a meet

1516
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 1: and somebody came to us.

1517
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 6: That's when I think it hit us that we were

1518
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 6: kind of like it was a big deal. We met

1519
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 6: at the ivy ivy or something like that. Someone showed

1520
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 6: us this magazine and that showed the numbers that we

1521
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 6: were like number one was no name actors and it

1522
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 6: was during super Bowl weekend and they was explained how

1523
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 6: that was a huge deal, and I think you could

1524
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 6: elaborate more on that, because they didn't really believe in

1525
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 6: the film when initially when they were it.

1526
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:11,639
Speaker 7: Just it was a big deal at the box office

1527
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,640
Speaker 7: because it was competing with Barbershop at that time, and

1528
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 7: they didn't think that it could come out and really

1529
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 7: do what it was going to do because it was

1530
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 7: in competition with that movie, which was another black film.

1531
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Youth.

1532
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 7: Sixteen seventeen million the first week and then came back

1533
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 7: and did it again. It was at like thirty three

1534
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 7: million in two weeks. Could wait for it hit thirty

1535
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:39,599
Speaker 7: budget Yeah, and we was ready for our bumps at

1536
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 7: that point.

1537
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 5: Can I get the battle off? What number?

1538
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 10: Until Steve Harvey told us when he got hit a

1539
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:48,719
Speaker 10: fifteen million?

1540
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,160

1543
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 7: I won't go into detail, but I say, you guys

1544
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 7: serve two being a thing is similar to the group

1545
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 7: coming back together.

1546
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot of it's a it's a lot of

1547
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: working out you know that has to happen. That will

1548
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: be kind of dope. You know we got this part.

1549
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna at least a million step out

1550
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 6: of stud there.

1551
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 1: Like this. At this point, there are so many things

1552
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: around it. Of course I understand have to be have

1553
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 1: to be considered, but just from a success standpoint, it

Speaker 2: especially for the youth, you know what I mean. And

1567
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:56,680
Speaker 2: it just goes back to the conversation of you know,

1568
01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 2: these young groups, these young artists, we have to we

1569
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 2: have to continue to invest and put into these new

1570
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:07,640
Speaker 2: kids coming up.

1571
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

1572
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 7: I think for I think for us when it comes

1573
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 7: to be two k we we've always given ourselves, We've

1574
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:19,640
Speaker 7: always given ourselves time to do it right. Not just

1575
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 7: we just want to be in front of you, you

1576
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:23,920

Speaker 7: and the business is definitely like top line, you know.

1580
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 7: But I think it also comes into it being such

1581
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 7: a classic, like a what's the movie?

1582
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 1: Set it off?

1583
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:42,760

1584
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:46,480
Speaker 7: real staples and like classics in the black household.

1585
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:48,480
Speaker 1: If the script.

1590
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 7: maybe not being a rush to do it, or maybe

1591
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 7: we just leave it as a classic as much as

1592
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 7: you got served too, would be amazing, you know.
