<v Speaker 3>respect they deserve man and and all fastest of music,

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 3>because it's not that I think, and I think it

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 3>gets pushed into like, oh, DJ and is just a

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 3>hip hop thing. It's not DJ, is it. That's an instrument.

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 3>That's like playing a piano, that's like playing the guitar.

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 3>If you can play it, if you can DJ, you

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 3>have a special gift. That's a musician. Absolutely, And I

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 3>think it needs to be spylighted and highlighted even more

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 3>because those moments would let's keep it a buck like

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 3>those ones would be dead moments over the change out

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 3>or during the like you need that. And no, you

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 3>can't just put on a playlist like you need somebody

0:14:59.480 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 3>hyping the crow.

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>You need that.

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 3>You need to keep the energy up so that once

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 3>the artists come on stage, the crowd is still ready

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 3>to go.

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.080

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>to see care you know what I'm saying. It was

0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 2>that type of thing too, And it was like that's

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 2>what you go, Yeah, that's what you want. You want,

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 2>you want weighted people involved.

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.719
<v Speaker 3>And I think that, you know, ultimately, when we were

0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 3>talking about going on tour and how she came up,

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.639
<v Speaker 3>even just in conversation for the tour, was that it

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 3>was it was that she just in my opinion, she

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 3>brought a different element. Yeah, she brought a different element. Obviously,

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:11.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, she's a woman's two men on tour. That's

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 3>one thing. But it was it's just her presence and

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 3>her being, in my opinion, her being.

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Able to.

0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:22.439
<v Speaker 3>Fill that space where you know, it gives a different

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.960
<v Speaker 3>element of performance than the other two artists, completely different,

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:26.680
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean.

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 1>And you know she brought them ladies out too.

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:32.400
<v Speaker 2>And the way she rolled, even th way she rolled

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 2>on the road, like people don't know that cares an athlete,

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 2>right right, So she's like in that space like behind

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:41.879
<v Speaker 2>the scenes, she's really one of us, right No.

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 3>And it's funny you say that, right, because what happens

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 3>with a lot of.

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Women in the game.

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.879
<v Speaker 3>It's harder to move them around as far as on

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 3>the road because you know it, you know, it takes

0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.679
<v Speaker 3>glam and it takes you know, styling and all these

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:02.159
<v Speaker 3>other things that men they don't really you know.

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 1>We got on T shirts right now, you know what

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying.

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:12.520
<v Speaker 3>But I knew from Carrie's background, from her hustle, from

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 3>her you know, like you said, growing up being an

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:18.720
<v Speaker 3>athlete and kind of just being game ready. I knew

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:20.480
<v Speaker 3>she was going to be able to do the tour

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 3>without needing all of the other extra stuff that's some

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:28.320
<v Speaker 3>artists they just they lean on carry. Lenly was backstage

0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 3>doing her makeup, doing it all, cooking, you know what

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean like she was like, oh yeah, I'll be

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:34.640
<v Speaker 3>out there.

0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 3>And that's not that's that's unusual in the game.

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 1>It really is.

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.680
<v Speaker 3>And obviously in this tour and what it, you know,

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 3>the requirements for this tour, we needed someone like that.

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:51.639
<v Speaker 1>It would have been tougher to do to do it

0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:53.480
<v Speaker 1>any other way, any other way.

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:59.000

<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:26.920
<v Speaker 2>It was one of the things where these venues really

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 2>welcomed us and and set it out for us, you know,

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 2>some more than others. Some venues we walked into and

<v Speaker 2>in just in terms of making space for us, and

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 2>and just even their conversation afterwards, how impressed they were with.

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Not just the show but but our business.

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:02.080

<v Speaker 2>we'll work with you guys any time time.

0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's because and this is something that

0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, I would the advice I would give to

0:29:11.800 --> 0:29:15.960
<v Speaker 3>all teams, you know, teams that are you know, tenured

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 3>in this business and teams that are new. Just be respectful.

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Be respectful everywhere you are. Be respectful people's time. People

0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 3>have jobs to do, you know what I mean. So

0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:28.440
<v Speaker 3>when you think that you're just oh, that don't really

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 3>mean nothing, that is somebody that has to there's accountability.

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Somebody has to be accountable for everything everything. Thinking that

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's cool to go back and and raid

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:42.240
<v Speaker 3>the and raid the lunch room, it's other people that

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 3>haven't eat.

0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 1>People have to eat.

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 3>That's why they have lunch tickets, That's why they have

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 3>whatever these things are. They're preparing for the people that

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 3>are on the road to take care of you while

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 3>you're out there, so that you don't because most of

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the times you don't have time to go somewhere and

0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:57.760
<v Speaker 3>go get food.

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Most of the people that are crew, they never leave

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the venue ever.

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:08.400
<v Speaker 3>They in the morning to they go from the bus

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 3>to the venue, or to the hotel to the or

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 3>wherever it is. But they're not like, oh yeah, while

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 3>we were in Nashville, I was able to go to

0:30:15.760 --> 0:30:17.960
<v Speaker 3>give me some hot chicken from such and such. No,

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 3>that's not That's not how it works because there's jobs

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 3>that need to be done. So that's why I say

0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 3>just people being mindful and having accountability about what's going

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.720
<v Speaker 3>on around them on these tours, because you know, you

0:30:33.840 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 3>hear so many horror stories of artists that just come

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:40.360
<v Speaker 3>into these places and they just think, oh, yeah, I'm the.

0:30:40.440 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Artist, so to move how I want to move, Like, nah,

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that's just not how it goes.

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 2>And every city is different in terms of what those

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 2>requirements are going to be. Like we go to a

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 2>city like Boston, which is the only city where we

0:30:56.240 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 2>had a laser light spacing restriction on stage, and I

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:04.920
<v Speaker 2>get to call at six something. I'm at the hotel

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:06.960
<v Speaker 2>doing my routine getting ready. I don't leave the hotel

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 2>till seven. They're saying, hey, you know, the the Union

0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:16.040
<v Speaker 2>here wants to show you where you can't go on stage.

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.280
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, yeah, I can't go on stage? Like yeah,

0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:20.640
<v Speaker 2>they they're you know, they're very serious about these laser

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:24.040
<v Speaker 2>lights and they want to make sure. You know, safety

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 2>is first for them in terms of how they view it,

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:28.920
<v Speaker 2>and they have marked off the stage where you can't go.

0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 2>It's like, oh, okay, well I see when I get there. No,

0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 2>you don't understand. They want to see you now before

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 2>they even open the doors, to show you where you

0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:41.960
<v Speaker 2>can and can't go and make sure it's.

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Not going to be an issue. And I was like, okay,

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:45.000
<v Speaker 1>all right.

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 2>So I got to hurry up my routine because first

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:50.440
<v Speaker 2>and foremost, I want the doors open. I want the

0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:51.720
<v Speaker 2>people to get in there, to be able to see

0:31:51.800 --> 0:31:54.400
<v Speaker 2>fly Guy and see Carl and see you know. And

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 2>so I've never been through this, but I'm like, you know,

0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 2>it's their building. Let me go see what's going on.

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:04.080
<v Speaker 2>And so we get to the building and they literally

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 2>have I mean, if we put it together, close to

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:12.719
<v Speaker 2>thirty forty percent of the stage marked off, marked off

0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:14.880
<v Speaker 2>where I couldn't go, Me and Loney couldn't go, where

0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:16.720
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't go on that stage.

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:19.280
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, it was like, it was like,

0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:23.640
<v Speaker 1>how does this work for you? And I was like, yeah,

0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 1>your house rules, let's work. And they were so.

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:33.720
<v Speaker 3>They were ready to argue because they're used to are

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 3>used to artists.

0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 1>No, I can't. I need to be able to no,

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.719
<v Speaker 1>just cool, respecting the house safety first. This is how

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:41.160
<v Speaker 1>y'all rock?

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 2>That's rock, right, and we use all sixty percent of

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:47.800
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the stage that was left and had

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 2>an amazing show. And they were so impressed that that

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:55.640
<v Speaker 2>right there was so easy for them. We appreciate you

0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:57.320
<v Speaker 2>guys because they were standing by ready to press the

0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 2>button if either one of us would have went into

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:03.760
<v Speaker 2>those restricted areas, they were gonna press that button.

0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Show was over right.

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 3>That wasn't Boston because I wasn't. I wasn't in Boston.

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 3>I was where was it? I got to think of

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:10.640
<v Speaker 3>where it was.

0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:12.080
<v Speaker 1>It was Boston.

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:13.960
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, because I didn't do the Boston show.

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I didn't do the Boston show, but I was. I

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:20.640
<v Speaker 3>did this show that your job. That was definitely Boston.

0:33:20.680 --> 0:33:22.800
<v Speaker 3>You weren't there there it was because we had it.

0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Remember when I was one of these shows I was

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 3>at it was it was a laser light restriction.

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Too, probably probably to but this was that Boston was

0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 2>the biggest one. Boston was like they was cutting stage off.

0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I had a runway, wow, and then a space in

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the front. It was definitely Boston and then I'm not sure.

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure where else.

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so.

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:47.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's being respectful to these to these guys

0:33:48.720 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 2>in their city and their space. Yea, they have things

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 2>to do. Your job, man, And if you're saying in

0:33:56.080 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the interest of safety, then why do I want to

0:33:58.360 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 2>buck that right?

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you trying to keep me safe?

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Why you're trying to Sometimes the ego just gets in

0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 3>the way of that. But that's why, you know, you

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:10.800
<v Speaker 3>look up and you know there are so many venues

0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 3>that you've done repeat business with because when your name

0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:18.880
<v Speaker 3>comes up, this is how it's laid out to them.

0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 3>They're like, oh no, we love him, you know what

0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:23.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying, Like, you know, shout out to you know,

0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:29.440
<v Speaker 3>the boss lady at the Poms, Crystal amazing. She she

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:32.799
<v Speaker 3>was amazing to us, and we had we had conversations

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.719
<v Speaker 3>just about you know, doing more stuff over there and

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:37.600
<v Speaker 3>doing stuff at the Pearl and doing stuff with the

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Poms because of how we are with our business. She appreciated,

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:45.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, how we came through and handled ourselves professionally

0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 3>and did a great show, you know what I mean.

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.320
<v Speaker 3>So I think that that is something that's really important

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.760
<v Speaker 3>for artists that are coming up. Just just be respectful

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:56.680

<v Speaker 1>our respect and.

<v Speaker 1>Money doesn't matter who you are.

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:18.719
<v Speaker 2>Like there's a saying that people always like to use,

0:35:18.840 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 2>like no, I'll be the bad guy, but don't overstep that. Right,

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 2>there's there's you being the person who ensures that things

0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:36.200
<v Speaker 2>are the way they are supposed to be, right being

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 2>an asshole, but in being an asshole, those are two

0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:42.360

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:44.480
<v Speaker 2>your favorite city, my favorite city. Not to say all

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the cities weren't good, Yeah.

0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Because we had like you know what, bro, I can

0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 3>honestly say they really showed up and showed out in

0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:58.239
<v Speaker 3>every city, you know what I mean. And that's not

0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:00.360
<v Speaker 3>like I'm not about to say what my face it was.

0:37:00.440 --> 0:37:03.279
<v Speaker 3>But just when I look back at every city that

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:05.040
<v Speaker 3>I went to, which I went, I went to at

0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:10.280
<v Speaker 3>least fifteen of them, maybe twenty somewhere in there between

0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:11.719
<v Speaker 3>fifteen and twenty, and.

0:37:12.600 --> 0:37:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Bro to love was crazy. The love was crazy. You know.

0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:19.759
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, this is gonna throw a lot of people off,

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, because it's a it's a smaller.

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:26.879
<v Speaker 1>City, but it was because of the venue.

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Raleigh was crazy singing in that opera house or whatever

0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:37.279
<v Speaker 3>that was, you know what I mean, like because they

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 3>usually have you know, it's tuned sonically, it's just for music.

0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:46.719
<v Speaker 3>They don't have anything else to have music there the place.

0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:49.279
<v Speaker 3>We you know that we did in Raleigh, And I

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:52.840
<v Speaker 3>think for me that that really just just hearing it.

0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:56.080
<v Speaker 3>And plus I had a chance to kind of go

0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:59.840
<v Speaker 3>out into the orchestra and watch your performance after. I

0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:05.040
<v Speaker 3>really really listened from that point, and I'm like, Yo,

0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:07.800
<v Speaker 3>this is this is this is really dope because so

0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:10.440
<v Speaker 3>from a sonic standpoint, and the crowd was cracking. The

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:13.920
<v Speaker 3>crowd was cracking everywhere, but like but from a sonic

0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:16.960

<v Speaker 1>The tour introduction episode. It's not my tour.

0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm very understanding of that and very appreciative that you

0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:18.719
<v Speaker 3>want me to come out and rock with you. But

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I still am very mindful, like, Yo, this is tanks tour.

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:25.439
<v Speaker 3>This has to work, this has to rock a certain way.

0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:28.719
<v Speaker 3>We're presenting ourselves a certain way other than me pulling

0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 3>up at the Meat and Green with a drink like yeah, yeah,

0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 3>so everything good, you know, I mean, like I still.

0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Got to do business, you know.

0:41:36.160 --> 0:41:40.040
<v Speaker 3>And it's something that's we talk about all the time.

0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:43.719
<v Speaker 3>What we're doing has never been done. It's never been done.

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.239
<v Speaker 3>And that's not saying like we're banging on our chest,

0:41:46.560 --> 0:41:48.640
<v Speaker 3>but we're just saying like this, there is no one

0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:51.919
<v Speaker 3>that can tell us how to do what we're doing.

0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:54.400
<v Speaker 1>There's never been.

0:41:54.719 --> 0:41:59.360
<v Speaker 3>An artist, manager, manager, artists partner partner and a company

0:41:59.440 --> 0:42:03.800
<v Speaker 3>that are both doing music side, creative side and business side.

0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 1>It's just tough, you know.

0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:10.120
<v Speaker 3>What I mean. And so but in Raleigh, I'm not

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:15.320
<v Speaker 3>sure how she figured out how to get to me.

0:42:15.520 --> 0:42:17.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it was through Lulu or through

0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Tobe or whoever it was, but a young lady. They

0:42:22.040 --> 0:42:25.080
<v Speaker 3>brought her so she could meet me after the Raleigh show,

0:42:26.440 --> 0:42:30.759
<v Speaker 3>and this is my first time experiencing this, and she

0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:34.640
<v Speaker 3>started hyperventilating and crying and.

0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really know how to react to that, you

0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:40.879
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, Like I'm like, no, don't don't cry,

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm just regular O Jay. But it was, it was

0:42:46.920 --> 0:42:47.759
<v Speaker 1>it was really dope.

0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:50.239
<v Speaker 3>It was really dope, man I And I appreciate her

0:42:50.440 --> 0:42:54.120
<v Speaker 3>just you know, feeling feeling comfortable and free enough to

0:42:54.280 --> 0:42:56.120
<v Speaker 3>have that type of emotion towards me and what I

0:42:56.280 --> 0:43:00.480
<v Speaker 3>do in music because I had never experienced that. I'd

0:43:00.560 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 3>never experienced that. That was it was a really cool moment.

0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 3>I was glad that, you know, I was able to

0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:06.600
<v Speaker 3>take pictures with her. And I don't know if it

0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:08.920
<v Speaker 3>was it was either her friend or family member that

0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I think, and they might have been family, but just

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:13.040
<v Speaker 3>I got a chance to take pictures with them, you

0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:15.480
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean and tell them thank you. And

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:18.120
<v Speaker 3>it was it was a really cool moment for me.

0:43:18.320 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 3>That was like my highlight of my tour moment for

0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:24.720
<v Speaker 3>me of being like, damn, that's that's crazy that somebody

0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:26.600
<v Speaker 3>would feel like that toward me because.

0:43:26.320 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I don't you don't go you don't

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 2>go to do, you don't go to you know what

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, You don't you don't go to smell those

0:43:34.040 --> 0:43:37.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of flowers. Yeah, you stay very much away from

0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:43.160
<v Speaker 2>anything that that any sign of accomplishment, any sign up.

0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I did that, like, you stay far away from that,

0:43:46.640 --> 0:43:50.080
<v Speaker 2>which so many people wanted to give you on that tour.

0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:54.520
<v Speaker 3>So they showed me a lot of love through through Instagram.

0:43:54.719 --> 0:44:00.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was like, it's always fun for me knowing

0:44:00.920 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 2>when you walk out, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Like we experienced that on on the New Edition tour

0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:13.200
<v Speaker 2>where that first started really warm enough, and then I

0:44:13.280 --> 0:44:17.520
<v Speaker 2>think on this tour it was like I was getting

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:21.040
<v Speaker 2>messages like that motherfucker you better bring Jay with you,

0:44:21.120 --> 0:44:23.520

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they had that mothership, George Clinton.

0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:43.360
<v Speaker 1>George Clinton. It's like you're the mothership.

0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:49.239
<v Speaker 2>So they were always waiting for the Mothership to land.

<v Speaker 2>just it was great. It was great to see that.

<v Speaker 2>It was great to see that, it was great to

0:45:02.840 --> 0:45:04.680
<v Speaker 2>experience it. Then once we get to the West Coast

<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, we're doing up

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Because that's the thing, bro, Like, I think I'm so

0:45:18.960 --> 0:45:22.200
<v Speaker 3>used to people expecting things that I never expect anything.

0:45:22.320 --> 0:45:27.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm always in the space in mind of this is

0:45:27.239 --> 0:45:30.200

<v Speaker 3>R and B Money, but this is this is Tanks tour.

0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:11.239
<v Speaker 3>This is somewhere for you to present the way you

0:46:11.360 --> 0:46:13.760
<v Speaker 3>want to present, you know, and even from a business

0:46:13.840 --> 0:46:15.800
<v Speaker 3>side of it, understanding like when you would tell me

<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean.

0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:27.600
<v Speaker 3>But if this is what you feel like you need

0:46:27.800 --> 0:46:30.080
<v Speaker 3>to to get off, what you got to get off,

0:46:30.160 --> 0:46:33.520
<v Speaker 3>and what you want to present to these people, I'm

0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:35.320
<v Speaker 3>rolling with you. Let's figure it out how to get it,

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:37.399
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean. I'm not I'm not trying

0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:39.400
<v Speaker 3>to talk you down on everything. I just need to

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:41.640
<v Speaker 3>tell you to you know the business side of it

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:46.200
<v Speaker 3>of like, hey, bro, cool this this was just gonna

0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:49.080
<v Speaker 3>staying right here, you know. But but then as far

0:46:49.160 --> 0:46:54.759
<v Speaker 3>as just you grinting access to your stage, like I said, Bro,

0:46:55.120 --> 0:46:56.759
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't thank you enough, you know what I mean?

0:46:56.800 --> 0:46:58.920
<v Speaker 1>It was, it was, it was. It was an amazing

0:46:59.040 --> 0:46:59.719
<v Speaker 1>moment and it was.

0:46:59.760 --> 0:47:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Cool for me to see it because I think I

0:47:02.640 --> 0:47:05.560
<v Speaker 3>don't I don't and you know this, I don't look

0:47:05.640 --> 0:47:08.360
<v Speaker 3>at myself in that way. I just look at myself

0:47:08.360 --> 0:47:10.960
<v Speaker 3>as someone who does music. I don't know if I

0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 3>really look at myself as an artist or an executive.

0:47:14.200 --> 0:47:16.439
<v Speaker 3>I just look at myself as not even just does music,

0:47:16.640 --> 0:47:19.440
<v Speaker 3>who does entertainment. I want to be I always just

0:47:19.480 --> 0:47:22.640
<v Speaker 3>want to be in an entertainment world. So whatever that

0:47:22.920 --> 0:47:26.480
<v Speaker 3>job is at that time, I'm rolling with you. Know

0:47:26.560 --> 0:47:31.680
<v Speaker 3>what I mean, But Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco.

0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Bro which was crazy because you know, full transparency, San

0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Francisco was a problem. Is a tough market ticket wise,

0:47:41.040 --> 0:47:45.640
<v Speaker 2>tough market ticket wise, and those people showed up in

0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:48.440
<v Speaker 2>that room and went and acted though.

0:47:48.880 --> 0:47:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but you know, and you know, and I'll kind

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:55.719
<v Speaker 3>of I'll talk about that because I'm from there, and

0:47:55.840 --> 0:47:59.239
<v Speaker 3>you and I had this conversation backstage.

0:48:00.640 --> 0:48:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Most of.

0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:10.320
<v Speaker 3>The urban community has been moved out, so the percentage

0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:14.200
<v Speaker 3>of our crowd honestly in San Francisco at this point

0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 3>is very low. So you may get a trickle from

0:48:18.080 --> 0:48:19.799
<v Speaker 3>some of the people that are still in Oakland, which

0:48:19.800 --> 0:48:22.200
<v Speaker 3>they're moving us out of there too. You know, I'm

0:48:22.239 --> 0:48:23.880
<v Speaker 3>a Bay Area guy, so I you know, I mean,

0:48:23.920 --> 0:48:28.799
<v Speaker 3>I know these numbers. So people are moving closer to Sacramento.

0:48:30.400 --> 0:48:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Sacramento sold out, bigger venue, bigger everything, sold out a

0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:41.480
<v Speaker 3>lot faster, the whole thing because most of our black people,

0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:45.360
<v Speaker 3>it's just it's so expensive to live in San Francisco

0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:49.120
<v Speaker 3>and Oakland now that it's tougher to do concerts up there.

0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:51.919
<v Speaker 3>Because it's not only our concert that that was starting

0:48:51.920 --> 0:48:53.719
<v Speaker 3>to have it that was having issues there because I

0:48:53.800 --> 0:48:56.440
<v Speaker 3>really looked into it. A lot of the shows that

0:48:56.480 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 3>are coming up to the Bay Now, it's just it's

0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:02.960
<v Speaker 3>becoming trick here and trickier to really sell hard tickets

0:49:03.040 --> 0:49:06.799
<v Speaker 3>up there because it's tech and it's you know, people

0:49:06.840 --> 0:49:09.440
<v Speaker 3>that aren't listening to R and B and rapped and

0:49:09.600 --> 0:49:13.120
<v Speaker 3>urban music, you know what I'm saying. So it's just

0:49:13.160 --> 0:49:16.000
<v Speaker 3>a harder sell. But the people that that pulled up

0:49:16.040 --> 0:49:18.400
<v Speaker 3>for us, pulled all the way up, put it all

0:49:18.400 --> 0:49:22.520
<v Speaker 3>the way up all I'm talking about energy on the thousand.

0:49:23.320 --> 0:49:24.360
<v Speaker 1>That was family.

0:49:24.880 --> 0:49:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, now that was Yeah, that one was That

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:33.480
<v Speaker 3>was the toughest date for me because trying to accommodate yeah,

0:49:33.800 --> 0:49:37.479
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean, just accommodating all the people.

0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Obviously the ticket side of it is cool, but then

0:49:40.040 --> 0:49:45.160
<v Speaker 3>of course everybody wants to come backstage stage. The backstage

0:49:45.160 --> 0:49:48.200
<v Speaker 3>is that that that venue was only a hallway, so

0:49:48.320 --> 0:49:49.080

<v Speaker 3>is at Dave and Busters talking crazy to these women,

0:53:54.800 --> 0:54:00.200
<v Speaker 3>these professional basketball players, and one of my friends just

<v Speaker 3>and then they end up losing by what.

0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:27.560
<v Speaker 2>It started at David Busters where I started to kind

0:54:27.600 --> 0:54:30.560
<v Speaker 2>of get the glimpse of this might not go the

0:54:30.640 --> 0:54:31.760

<v Speaker 3>I mean yeah, now this this tour, bro, this tour

1:03:16.280 --> 1:03:22.880
<v Speaker 3>was special because it it made us uncomfortable. So I

1:03:22.960 --> 1:03:25.320
<v Speaker 3>feel like we're growing, you know what I mean? Like

1:03:25.440 --> 1:03:28.080
<v Speaker 3>they said, if you you know, if you really want

1:03:28.120 --> 1:03:30.320
<v Speaker 3>to grow, you got to be uncomfortable. And I feel

1:03:30.400 --> 1:03:34.760
<v Speaker 3>like as a team, we're growing. We're adding to our repertoire,

1:03:34.960 --> 1:03:37.600
<v Speaker 3>as they will say, by being able to say no,

1:03:37.760 --> 1:03:38.440
<v Speaker 3>we can do that.

1:03:39.000 --> 1:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Yep, we know what it takes to do that. On

1:03:43.240 --> 1:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a level. We didn't fold.

1:03:45.680 --> 1:03:47.800
<v Speaker 3>We had moments where we could have folded, bro, Like

1:03:47.880 --> 1:03:49.520
<v Speaker 3>we had moments where we could have folded where it

1:03:49.640 --> 1:03:52.320
<v Speaker 3>was like who all, right.

1:03:52.400 --> 1:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Well what we do now? We figured out get them,

1:03:56.680 --> 1:03:58.439
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? And I think that's that's

1:03:58.880 --> 1:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>it was.

1:03:59.240 --> 1:04:01.720

<v Speaker 3>rise from it, rise from it and feel successful.

1:04:10.720 --> 1:04:14.040
<v Speaker 2>It's believing in each other. It really starts there. It

1:04:14.160 --> 1:04:17.880
<v Speaker 2>starts with understanding that the people that we have in

1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:25.240
<v Speaker 2>all of these positions are extremely capable, extremely beyond capable,

1:04:25.320 --> 1:04:31.240
