And Rihanna lived that at that same 19 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: house too, and I don't like that they keep saying 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: our names like we are selling the house. We're not 21 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: selling it. We already sold it and then they're trying 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: to sell it again. But we ain't got nothing to 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: do with it. Now every shows like, yeah, that's the 24 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: house that John Legend used to us christ the house. 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: They come like, this is weird that house has been going.

Man? Well, are you segue to my loved one? Skin? 30 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: Ain't nothing you could do little. We have a new skin, kid, 31 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: We do have a new skin girline, and you know 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: it's um It's formulated for melanin rich skin and the 33 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: focus is really on moisture. So you know, if I'm 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: looking moisturized and it's called loved old one, loved one, 35 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: loved one, Yeah, loved one. What made you want to 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: go down that lane? Well, you know, I've been working 37 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: in skincare doing deals with other brands, and I was like, 38 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: why not start my own? And I didn't want to 39 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: start it unless we had a real reason for it 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: to exist. And when we started doing the research on 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: the business, we realized that there's a lot of black 42 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: and brown folks that wants skincare that's actually formulated for us, 43 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: and that takes into considerations the unique differences that our 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: skin has. And there weren't very many companies that was 45 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: actually doing that, and so we said, why not create it? 46 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: And not only did we want to create it and 47 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: formulate it for us, but we wanted to make sure 48 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: everybody could afford it too. So we're selling everything for 49 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars or less right now. We're selling it at 50 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: CVS and Walmart, places where people shot. And so we're like, 51 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: why make this a celebrities skincare brand the only celebrities 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: and their friends can afford. Make it so that everybody 53 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: can afford it, and formulate it for a population that's 54 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: been underserved, hasn't been catered to in this business. What 55 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: can me? Pap putt on our hands right now because 56 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: we got some good moisturized. If you we got moisturized, 57 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: we got oil. Tell you what happened? You know this 58 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: pap put the wrong one on her hands and the 59 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: pat put the exfoliation and rubbing on. Never look good. 60 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: The moisturized is really good and the oil is really good. Yeah, 61 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: Oh this is nice. It's creamy rich, creamy rich and creamy. Fact. 62 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: We got jokes, but the fact is, uh, black and 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: brown people actually lose moisture more quickly than lighter skinning. 64 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: And so when we talk about being Ashley, like, that's 65 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: a real thing, and we're more likely to be Ashley 66 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: because we lose moisture more quickly, and so a lot 67 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: of our products are focused on moisture and hydration. I'm 68 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: getting a fishal yesterday and she was telling me that 69 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: you have to put a serum in your face because 70 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: your face. I never heard this term, but she said, 71 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: your face drinks and serum actually is what hydrates your face. 72 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: And you're finding different ways to protect your skin barrier 73 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: and moisturrate, moisturized hydrate. It's good. It's product. The only 74 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: way for artists to create generational wealth. I think it's 75 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: a combination. I make a lot of money playing live 76 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: and make a lot of money on my music, but 77 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: I think having product allows you to make money without 78 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: having to be out doing a show all the time, 79 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, so it gives you the ability to create 80 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: wealth that can build and can be generational because these 81 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: products can outlive you. They can be in stores forever, 82 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: and we're trying to build a brand that people really 83 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: trust and will make a part of the daily routine 84 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be buying for decades to come after 85 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: I'm gone. Are you tired to entertainment? No? I love it. 86 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: I love making music. I'm always writing, always recording. I 87 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: just put album out in September, put another solo version 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: of the album out in February, and I'm gonna keep 89 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: making music, keep playing shows, and that's always gonna be 90 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: my first love and I think it'll be my main 91 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: job for the rest of my life. Well, I have 92 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: a better question. Are you tired of being the main product? Like? 93 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: Are you tired of having to get up and go 94 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: do the physical work in order to make I feel 95 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: like I can diversify? Honestly, I think that's what I'm doing, 96 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: is making it so it's not all writing on me 97 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: being present every moment. And I'm always gonna make music, 98 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: always gonna do shows. But this allows me to diversify. Now, 99 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: you know, with autists selling their catalogs, you sold your catalog. 100 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: I sold a piece of my publishing. Yeah, what made 101 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: you think to do that? Because I've seen so many 102 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: people selling their catalogs now because a lot of times 103 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: people say, you know what, I'm gonna keep my catalog 104 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: so I can continue to eat, my kids continue to eat. 105 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: But you but it's diversification too, because what you're doing 106 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: is saying you're letting this other company invest in this 107 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: piece of your business, and then you're saying, I'm gonna 108 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: take that cash they give me and invest in other things. 109 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: And so for me, it makes it so you're not 110 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: completely relying on the ups and downs of the music industry, 111 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: but you're saying, I'm gonna take some of this money 112 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: and invested in other things. And that's what I did. 113 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: Because you break that down a little bit more because 114 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, when black people tend to do things like that, 115 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: people be like, oh, are you selling your catalog? You're 116 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: gonna have ownership, Like, but white artists do. I'm watching 117 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: all the white artists selling. Plenty of people are doing it, 118 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: and honestly, I did it at the time when I 119 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: felt like they were offering a high premium when it 120 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: comes to the multiple. So basically the multiple is they 121 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: see what you're making per year and they offer you 122 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: something x times at per year amount. For your catalog, 123 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: and I felt like the multiple they were offering me 124 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: was very generous, and I was going to take that 125 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: cash and invest it in different things so it wasn't 126 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: all relying on my music career to make the money. 127 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: What are they doing with the music? Like, what's the 128 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: what's the upside for them? Basically they're doing the same 129 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 1: thing we were doing before. They're getting it placed in movies, 130 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: the regular revenue of it streaming, all the other money 131 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: you bring in from your catalog. They're just taking that 132 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: money in and so they're taking a bet that maybe 133 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: they can find ways to grow it beyond what it was, 134 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: you know, normally getting And uh, that's a bet that 135 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: they took. And I figured, let them take that bet 136 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: on my music and then I'm gonna take this cash 137 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: to get me in bet on other things. Yeah, I 138 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: have one question. Is this this showers? Yea a unisex? Yeah, 139 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: everything's Uni sase Oh good. Yeah, So it's facing body wash, 140 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: U fac somebody moisturizer or shape cream.

You ever look 160 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: back and think about some of the moves you made, 161 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: and when people challenge those moves back then, and then 162 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: it all unfolds and they'd be like you've seen the vision, 163 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: Like I'm just thinking of of Kanye West, right, And 164 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: when you first decided, you know, this is not where 165 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: I want to go, this is not the route, and 166 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: people like you're crazy.

Well, 169 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: those saying people kind of follow what you did well 170 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: all all of these decisions. Though, there were people in 171 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: my camp that didn't want me to sign with Kanye 172 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: when I signed with him, because I signed with Good 173 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: Music and I signed through Good Music to Colombia Record 174 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: so all of my first few albums were through Good 175 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: Music to Columbia Records, and you give up certain things 176 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: when you signed to an artist production company. But I 177 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: felt like it was the right move for me because creatively, 178 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: we were in a great place together and his star 179 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: was ascending as a producer and as an artist, and 180 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: I felt like being part of that team was gonna 181 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: propel my career to a place that it needed to be, 182 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: and it did, and it was really important for me 183 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: to be with Good Music for my first few albums, 184 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: and my career wouldn't be what it is without that. 185 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: And then when it's time to move on. It's time 186 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: to move on. But we had a really successful run together, 187 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: and you make these decisions, and you know, hindsight is 188 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty and everything looks good. Now, it's like everything 189 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: worked out, it's all good. But at the time, you 190 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: know it's complicated and it's difficult making these decisions, and 191 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: you're not sure if it's going to work out. And 192 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: you like to think that you you know, you can 193 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: foresee the future and you can plan ahead, but you 194 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: never know how it's going to work out. But it 195 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: worked out. Are so many things you give up when 196 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: you signed to an artist? Will you give up a 197 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: piece of your revenue? So but the bottom line is 198 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: with any of these deals, you're like, would I'd rather 199 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: have one hundred percent of a smaller amount or fifty 200 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: or sixty percent of a larger amount. And so you 201 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: got to do the math and say, is it worth 202 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: me signing with somebody and giving up a portion of 203 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: my revenue? Are we going to grow the pie together 204 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: and make something bigger that we all can share together? 205 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: They have any concerned about you being R and B 206 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: and him being hip hop? Like, no, I think it 207 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: actually made it so I had my own lane within 208 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: good music. It made it so that, you know, I 209 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: wasn't really competing with the other rappers that he had signed. 210 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: I was in my own lane. Well, why did you 211 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: lead a voice? I didn't really leave the boys. I 212 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: just am not doing this season, but I'll be back. 213 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay. So you take a break because like 214 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: we're having a kid, you know, going on, and he's 215 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: tired of hitting that bail. I turn it around for 216 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: the second turning. I mean, it would be kind of 217 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: deceitful to say I'm really taking a full paternity leave 218 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: because I'm doing plenty of work during this time, but 219 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm doing a little less work and it was a 220 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: perfect time to take a break. And uh, you know 221 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: it's Blake's last season. Let him have his moment and 222 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: then la Blake is my Blake is my guy. He 223 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: tweeted me one day, almost fain it people with buying checks. 224 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: That wasn't him wa, that was in Miss pat. It 225 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: was what do you think about the current state of 226 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: R and B? I know one time did he said 227 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: R and B is dead? In this conversation has been 228 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: going on and on for the last couple of months. 229 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: Which your vision of R and B, which it's not dead. 230 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of great artists making 231 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: great music. Um. I was just on Spotify listening to 232 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: music in the car today and a lot of it 233 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 1: was R and B, and a lot of it was current, 234 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of it was dope. And I feel 235 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: like there's so many really good artists making R and 236 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: B and no, it's definitely not that. Who John Leg 237 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: listened to I was listening to says that today I 238 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: was listening to Summer Walker, I was listening to Daniel Caesar, 239 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: I was listening to her. I was listening to Frank 240 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: Ocean I was listening to I mean, we could have 241 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: some new Frank that would be great, um, Leon Bridges, Um, 242 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: he's not that. I mean occasionally I listened to myself, okay, 243 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: but most of the time I'm focused. Like when when 244 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm making an album, I listened to it all the time, 245 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like tweaking and getting it exactly right, and 246 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: then once it's out, then you know, I let it 247 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: be out. But my kids actually love it and so 248 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: they'll ask me to play it in the car a lot, 249 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: So I end up listening to myself in the car 250 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: with my kids when I take them to school. Danny, 251 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: I can't do that with my keys. I curse. I 252 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: got like occasional curse word in my songs, and so 253 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: we just try to ignore that. And my daughter will 254 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: laugh she's had dad, he said a bad word. You know, 255 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: keep it moving. Do you intentionally put out an album 256 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: every two years? Because I do, not exactly intentionally, but 257 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm intentionally creative. So I like to schedule 258 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: time in the studio. I like to when I'm off tour, 259 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: like actually actively make time to make new music. And 260 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: by the time you know, I do that for like 261 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: six or nine months, it's time to put another album 262 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: out because I got enough material for it. Is there 263 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: any song that you created that you just can't stay 264 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: in anymore? But like, I hate performing it. I hate 265 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: doing it. No, no, no, And I mean I have 266 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: enough songs that I don't have to play any song 267 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: I don't like really, um, and there's none of my 268 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: popular songs that my fans want to hear that I 269 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: don't like to play. Okay, what was it like to day? Incredible? 270 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: I loved it, Honestly, It's like a masterclass every night. 271 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: She's just an incredible performer. Her mystique, just everything about her. 272 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: She seems so mythical, like's not even a real person, 273 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: Like she just disappears. Like the last tour was the 274 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: one we did together, and that was twenty eleven. Wowow, 275 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty three. She has as she's still even then. 276 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: Did you interact with Earth? We did, and she was 277 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: super cool. Like you would honestly you'd be intimidated by 278 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: her mystique, but in person she was very chill, and 279 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: she had her family along on the tour, and all 280 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: of her people were really kind to my people, which 281 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: isn't always the case when you go on tours somebody 282 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: else who's the headliner, And uh, they were all super 283 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: like kind and interacted with my musicians and my band, 284 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: and uh, we just had a great time on tour 285 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: with them. But if the headliner didn't want you to to, 286 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: they could just say that, right. So, man, I've been 287 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: part of when early in my career, I've been part 288 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: of tours where the headliner would do things like you know, 289 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: a little slide things like make sure your decibel level 290 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: was lower and uh, control your stage position. Can't ban Yeah, 291 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: and then once I started having an opening artist, like, 292 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: I remember that and I would never would do that 293 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: to them. Yeah, I never would do that to them. 294 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: I was always I would always give them what I 295 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: felt like was the proper shine, and I never was 296 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: scared that they was gonna up stage me. I was 297 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: just like, let's give these people a great show, and 298 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: that includes the opening act having a great show too. 299 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: It's a difficult opening up for somebody because you can 300 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: do these tours on your own, but now you actually 301 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: have to open up for somebody. Was that different? It 302 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: was actually kind of easy because doing two hour shows 303 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: is a lot, and doing a forty five minute show 304 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: is very comfortable. Those artists that fronted on you like 305 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: that back in the day, now that you got winner 306 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: to you hold that against them, like, I don't. Honestly, 307 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm happy. My career is great. I've done 308 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: very well and had wonderful tours. Like, I'm not gonna 309 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: worry about small things that happened at the beginning of 310 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: my career. I got a caution you ever get on 311 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: stage and be singing and then get your lyrics? Oh yeah, oh, 312 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: because that happened to me too. As all, yeah, y'all 313 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: remember that, Joe. Yeah, I'm tired you companying yourself to 314 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: John Legend. I'm not world class. Uh. Sometimes sometimes I 315 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: actually laugh about it because I honestly think fans like 316 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: having those human moments in the show that sometimes I'd 317 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: be like, I sucked that up and excuse me, and 318 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, just yeah, yeall, this is you know, pre 319 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: take um, and I'll just be like, I messed that 320 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: up and started it started over. And the fans love 321 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: it because they get a real moment, because they don't 322 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: want you to be perfect, and they don't want you 323 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: to be lip syncing and and all that. They want 324 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: you to be a human. That's why they come to 325 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: the show. Like, if they want to listen to the record, 326 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: they could listen to the record. How do you come 327 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: up with the name of Loved the One for the 328 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: for the loved One? My team came up with it. Obviously. 329 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: I put love into a lot of what I do. 330 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: My wine is called lv UM. A bunch of my 331 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: music is, of course love music. And I felt like, 332 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: when you think about that skincare ritual, it's about self love, 333 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: but it's also something you share with the people you love. 334 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: And so we felt like that name would be dope, 335 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: and we made it kind of different with the kind 336 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: of raised oh and the one, and some people say 337 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: loved oh one and we got to correct them. But 338 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: once they learned what it is, loved one just you know, 339 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: rolls off the toimeue. How long does it take for 340 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: you to like get all of that together, like you 341 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: have to go different products. Yeah, we started like a 342 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: year and almost a year and a half ago, and 343 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: so we started with the idea that this needed to exist, 344 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: that there was a gap in the market, that that 345 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: melanated skin wasn't being paid attention to. And if you 346 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: look at the actual the policy that goes into it, 347 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: the FDA doesn't even require you to test on any 348 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: shades lighter than I mean darker than like white. Basically, yeah, 349 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: they don't actually require you to test on it. So 350 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: if you're testing efficacy, you don't have to test it 351 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: on brown and black skin. And then when it comes 352 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: to dermatology, the dermatologists don't even have to learn about 353 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: the conditions that brown and black skin are more likely 354 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: to face. And you look in their textbooks, they're not 355 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: even seeing pictures of our skins and so there's a 356 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: big gap in skincare when it comes to thinking about 357 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: the different needs that melonaated skin has. And so we 358 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: figured there's a real opportunity here to create something special 359 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: that our people can use confidently knowing that we put 360 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: a lot of care and research into developing it for 361 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: us and then making it affordable for everybody. Now that 362 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: makes all the sense in the word, because you know, 363 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: we always say that black people love the skin you're in, 364 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: but how about to take care of it too, So 365 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: take care of it, and we want to give people 366 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: the opportunity to take care of the skin in a 367 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: beautiful way that's effective but also affordable. And that's why 368 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: we wanted it available everywhere, available at CBS ten dollars, 369 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars for everything that's affordable, not an oscar to 370 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: dinner party. Yeah sas you know what was gonna be born. 371 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: That's why y'all about the Uno cards. We were like, 372 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: it was like our insurance in case it was boring, 373 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: but it was not boring. Must biggers, y'all pulled him out. 374 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: We had a good table. Now we didn't actually end 375 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: up playing. We just had him. We just had him 376 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: with him just in case. Yeah, we had a good table, 377 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: Gabby Union, d Wade, Queenland Tief. I know we could 378 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: have some space going to but yeah, we had a 379 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: good table. We had a good time. Oh so the conversation, Okay, 380 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: I get with you. So the conversation was good. It 381 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: was no need to. We didn't actually end up playing. 382 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: They might have played after we left because we left 383 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: right after dessert because we both had to fly east 384 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: on a red eye. Um, but I don't know if 385 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: they played after we laugh. Maybe they needed after we left, 386 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: you know, because you see the list that they put out, 387 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: a rolling Stone to the Greatest Singers list. Did you 388 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: see that list? What did you think about the list? 389 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: He's laughing. I just I don't understand their criteria. It 390 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: was like it was a lot of people left off. 391 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: Leave aside the fact that I was left off, but 392 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: there was a lot of other people left offs, and 393 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: I'm like it didn't make really makes sense. But I 394 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: feel like they just something called them the trolling Stone, 395 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: and uh, I feel like they just wanted to spark 396 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: conversation and uh be a little bit controversial, and they 397 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: were controversial. Did you read the Franklin's comments on some 398 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: of the singers on there. Franklin's dead. I was not 399 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: a frank I was like, what you say, Queen? She 400 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: came back? Who was you thinking about? It was glad, 401 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: I wasn't shot. Who was it? It was shocking? Khan 402 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: wasn't on blast? You was on something else. The thing 403 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: is like, what is your criteria? Is it like actual, 404 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: like pure vocal ability? Because there are definitely people on 405 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: that list. They're not I wouldn't call them great singers, 406 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: but they're very like successful artists, and so are you 407 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: basing it on their vocal ability or you're basing it 408 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: on just their pure success as a lead artist? And 409 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: then you know there's there's different ways to make that list, 410 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: and it just seemed like it was all over the place. 411 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: I hate when they brings success into it. Yeah, success, money, accolades, 412 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: Like let's just talk about raw talent, like even when 413 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: it comes to the rap, when it comes to the singing. 414 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: But it's like, but you know, there's a there's an 415 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: argument for that too. Like if you're talking about football, 416 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: you talk about Tom Brady as the goat, You're not 417 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: saying he's the most purely talented quarterback. You're saying he 418 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: won the most championships, he had the most success at 419 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: what he was doing in football, and so there's an 420 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: argument to make a you know, most successful list. But 421 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: if you're gonna call it the greatest singers singing, they 422 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: should be good singers. I agree it was according to 423 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: who wrote the list and who here was a hero 424 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: in it. Yeah. I don't think anybody but singers can 425 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: make those lists, and I don't think anybody but rappers 426 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: should be able to make the rap list. Did you 427 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: see the Billboard Hip Hop list? What do you think? 428 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't terrible. I thought it was more. 429 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: It was less controversial than the singing list. I thought 430 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: it was too early for some people, like I think 431 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 1: it's too early to put Lamar and I love I Am. 432 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: I love Kendrick Lamar, but it's too early to put 433 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: him in now. How many albums is he in now? 434 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: I was like four, Yeah, but it's a decade, yeah 435 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: hip hop. I think for me it got to be 436 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: at least fifteen to twenty years. Me personally, I just 437 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: think he's never missed yet. Yeah, he hasn't missed yet. 438 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: Kendrick has never missed and his skill is is impeccable, 439 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: like his skills and MC is impeccable, and he's never 440 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: missed with an album or a tour, not even a video. Really, 441 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: like so many people, you gotta jump over to be 442 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 1: number two. I understand, na, I understand, I understand. I 443 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 1: think Jay is number one, and after that, I think 444 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 1: it gets difficult because I think it mixes a lot 445 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: of different factors. But I think Kendrick should be in 446 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: the conversation because he literally is that great and he's 447 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: and you just compare his raw MC ability against any 448 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: rapper of any era, and he's right there. He's in 449 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: my top five. Now, let me ask a questions. A 450 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: rapper that doesn't write his own is he in that list? 451 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: But who are we? Who are we saying is not 452 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: writing their own? Because it was time that it was Kanye, 453 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: it was times it was Drake, there was times it 454 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: was a couple of people. But that's all rumors that 455 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 1: I mean. I never saw Kanye being ghost written. And 456 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: I've been in the studio with him a lot. He writes. 457 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's written every single thing, but I 458 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: never saw him being ghost written. I've seen guys in 459 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: the room like bouncing ideas around. But Kanye is a 460 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: writer who was your top five. I've never been the 461 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: studio with Drake, so I have no I can't test 462 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: the fill you said Kendrick should be in that Jay, 463 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Nas, I'm gonna say Biggie, anybody from 464 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: the South. Honestly, I would put Andre in my top five. Yeah. Yeah, 465 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: but we appreciate you for joining us. Can we can 466 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: we have a package to send somebody right now? Can 467 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: we do that one five right now?
