20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 5: biggest thing that had ever happened to me and so

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 5: and it was just a moment coachally, I mean, I

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 5: want to be careful how I talk about myself because.

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: You know, I don't want to sound the Lulu.

24
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 5: But at the time, it was just like Yo, this

25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 5: girl just came out of nowhere. During the fourth quarter,

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 5: which is like a no, no, it's like Christmas music,

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 5: you just don't do that. I was independent thirty four

00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 5: at the time, and black a woman, R and B music,

29

30
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 5: we don't want it. And then the way that people

31
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 5: just received the song men, women, children, the church. They

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 5: were singing in the church house. It was just like

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 5: everywhere and so no, of course you don't think that

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 5: you're gonna do that again. You know, same effect even bigger.

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,320

Speaker 7: you go.

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 5: What even it's not a secret, it's just like I

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 5: really I was scrolling through my post the other day

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: and reading my captions and I'm like, wow, Like, if

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 5: you didn't know me, you would really be like, oh,

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 5: this girl is tapped in and I am, but I

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 5: you know, I'm not. That's I'm not trying to put

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: that on. That's just really what's in me.

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: You know, how long did it take you to break

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: into the game. For most for artists out there, that's

50
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: just trying to get in and it's taking a long time.

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: How long did it take for you to get to

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: where you was like, Wow, I really have a shot.

53
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, to use your words in my opinion,

54
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 5: I'm still breaking, you know.

55
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: I mean lots of people have grammies that you never

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 4: heard of, you know.

57
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 5: Fact, So like for where I want to go, I

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 5: still have a little bit of a piece of mountain

59
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 5: to climb.

60
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: But I've been doing this.

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 5: I've been wanting to do this since I was fourteen

62
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 5: or fifteen years old, half my life, and then I

63
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 5: started professionally when I was about nineteen. I was uploading

64
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 5: videos on YouTube. Before that was like normal when I

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: was like sixteen, doing it for my bedroom and stuff

66
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 5: like that. Once I got into the business in the game,

67
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 5: it took me until about twenty one, twenty three to

68
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: really start seeing some money. And then from there twenty

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 5: three to about twenty eight twenty nine, I'm just in

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 5: a studio cooking, like writing for all these people. And

71
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: then it took me another three or four years to

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: just be like, Okay, I've been doing this for ten

73
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 5: years now, it ain't really I feel like I'm at

74
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 5: the ceiling, what's next for me? And so these last

75
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: three years, I've been just focusing on myself.

76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: All in all.

77
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not really too great with math, but

78
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 5: I want to say about fifteen seventeen years it took

79
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 5: me to get to this place.

80
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Did you ever want to quit? Or the fact that I.

81
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: Wanted to quit so many times?

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 5: And I would be in my closet screaming into a pillow,

83
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 5: crying like.

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: Why is a bad.

85
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,119
Speaker 3: Other people?

86
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

87
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 5: Really, the misconception with that is it's a two year pipeline.

88
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 5: So imagine going to work and you don't get a

89
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 5: check for two years, and your co workers is nasty

90
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 5: and they don't want to feed you, and you got

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: to figure out, you know, like the actual reality of

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 5: it is not glamorous at all. You know, I don't

93
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 5: know if you guys saw a fellow songwriter, Tiffany Fresh,

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 5: She was kind of talking about it online, just about

95
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: writers artists who take publishing and like, there's all these

96
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 5: things that happened to you as a writer that you know,

97
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 5: that's what is paying your dues and so eventually, you know,

98
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 5: you either fatigue out and you'd be like, I can't

99
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 5: do this ain't for me, or you just keep going

100
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 5: and you keep taking it on the chin, like I

101
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 5: got kicked so many times and I just kept getting

102
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 5: back up, Like it's in today. You know, people used

103
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 5: to be like she a little crazy, she she owned something?

104
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 5: Why did she keep coming back? Why is she so nice?

105
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 5: And it was really just because I would hear this

106
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 5: little voice in the back of my mind, like but

107
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 5: if you quit, tomorrow could be today, next week, it

108
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 5: could be I don't know. I just felt this tugging,

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 5: just this little tiny tug in my stomach, like girl,

110
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 5: and then going.

111
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 8: Quit, then all of it would have been for nothing.

112
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 8: You get what I'm saying.

113
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 6: You would be looking back on a different story today,

114
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 6: you know, it wouldn't be made for you, and hours

115
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 6: for hours.

116
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 8: I love the visual.

117
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 6: By the way, you had my best friend Joe Line

118
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 6: and Lewis in there.

119
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that video she has sent me.

120
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: It was very sweet.

121
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 8: She was She's very sweet.

122
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 6: But I loved that you was outside the window. I

123
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 6: was like, you was looking star grish and he was

124
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 6: looking like a lip was. I said, What's what's going on?

125
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 6: But I love I love the whole concept. So did

126
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 6: you do you did your own treatment for that.

127
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 5: But the original treatment was very creepy. It was very

128
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 5: much creepy, and everybody was like, yeah, we love that,

129
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 5: you're so creative, but we can't do that because I

130
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 5: had just seen like this headline about this chop shop

131
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 5: in Arizona where they was taking bodies and it was

132
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 5: cutting them up and like putting the arm from one

133
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 5: body in the head from selling body parts and stuff.

134
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know if we can talk about

135
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 4: that on there. That's really that's real stuff that be

136
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 4: out here.

137
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: Ye crazy.

138
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

139
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 5: So so it was that, and I was like, oh,

140
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 5: we could do like some Sweeney Todd like, you know,

141
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 5: for you Yeah, Like I wanted it to be like

142
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 5: around Holly Halloween, like Tim Burton kind of stuff exactly.

143
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 5: The original idea was like, my, my man, you know,

144
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 5: he had a little accident.

145
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: He gone, he's not with us no more. And I'm like, well,

146
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm.

147
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 5: About to go dig him up, and I'm about to

148
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 5: go take some other body parts and I'm gonna make

149
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 5: me a Frankenstein and then we're gonna dance together and

150
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 5: then at the end he gonna please me so hard

151
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 5: he don't know his own string and hes gonna kill me,

152
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: you know.

153
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 6: And then but you know, at let's write the TV

154
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 6: to do that.

155
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 5: Everybody get sponsors, you know, they don't really want to

156
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 5: endorse this kind of thing. He can't be committing any

157
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 5: crimes and so, you know, grave digging is a crime.

158
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: And so then I reached out to my homeboys.

159
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,680

00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 5: have a touchstone or somebody that I might reference, that

216
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 5: would have been Cardi B for me, you know, because

217
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 5: I watched her come up. I watched I remember when

218
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 5: the first song I heard of hers was the Lick

219
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 5: looking like I called her Lick, and I used to

220
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 5: watch Love and Hip Hop thought she was hilarious. I

221
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 5: used to also watch her tiktoks and Instagram videos like

222
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 5: you know what I hate, you know, and I just

223
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 5: thought she was so funny. And then as soon as

224
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 5: that song came out and I started seeing the elevation,

225
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 5: I was like, she about to go. And I remember

226
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 5: my husband at the time was like, you know, it's

227
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: a whole lot of people who want to wrap them

228
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 5: like no, no, no, she got something different, I'm telling you.

229
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 5: And then Bodak Yella came out and so to see

230
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 5: that like and to watch somebody's journey like that, it

231
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 5: let me know that it was possible to go from

232
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: zero to sixty. You know, but ain't nobody really wasn't

233
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 5: nobody coaching meeting, give me no advice nothing.

234
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 4: I just had to, you know, mess up.

235
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: What age did you get married? You said, your husband?

236
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: What age did you get married? You got married? So

237
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: she got married young?

238
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

239
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: Was that good?

240
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: Was that young?

241
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 5: No?

242
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 8: Really it's younger younger?

243
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: So did that help you out? Keeping you grounded and

244
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: keeping I.

245
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 5: Think it definitely helped with my confidence. It helped me

246
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 5: being able to say no. It helped me, like to

247
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 5: not care about what other people wanted. It helped me to,

248
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 5: you know, just figure out my voice and how to

249
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 5: stand up for myself because you know, I think people

250
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 5: you are attracted to what you need and the person

251
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 5: that he needed to learn to be softer.

252
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: And I needed to learn to like, you know, man up.

253
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

254
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely, you know, and he definitely do not

255
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 5: care about what nobody thinks.

256
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 7: You know, that's interesting you brought up Cardi because Cardi

257
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 7: is a person who sold. She gave us personality first,

258
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 7: that's when we fell in love with Cardi. You give

259
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 7: us music first, actual talent. So in this era, what

260
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 7: do you think is harder to get people to connect.

261
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: With it's you know, six to one, half dozen another other,

262
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 5: like you always gonna have somebody.

263
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 4: Being like you need to be more relatable.

264
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 5: You know, people want to hear you talk, and I

265
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 5: say all the time, like, well, you know, the thing

266
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 5: that I want you to know about me is I

267
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 5: don't want you to know nothing because I don't want

268
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 5: your own business, like I just I gotta have something

269
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 5: for me. And Eddie LeVert, I heard him say a

270
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 5: quote about like you know Jerrel Levert's father, Oh jays,

271
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 5: if you don't, if you don't know, he was like,

272
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 5: you got to cut it off somewhere. You can't give

273
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 5: the whole world every piece of you because you won't

274
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 5: have nothing left.

275
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: And also recently, you know, speaking to.

276
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 5: This zen Master master Z and he was telling me

277
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 5: like these people don't get it twisted. They do not

278
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 5: like you. They like your music and that's all you

279
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 5: are required to deliver them. And that was so liberating

280
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 5: for me because you know, I'm up here trying to like.

281
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: Huh, look at me, Yes, I love you. What do

282
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: you think about my music, house, my hair.

283
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 5: You know, just trying to you know, show my value

284
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 5: on the outside to people, and it's just like nah,

285
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: like you don't get this music. You don't get these vocals.

286
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 5: And if I mess up, you know, players mess up,

287
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 5: it don't matter.

288
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 7: I feel like it should be so much easier for

289
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 7: ut nowday. We were just having a conversation for you

290
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 7: walk in the room about how nowadays people only go

291
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 7: off their feelings. They can listen to every word that

292
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 7: can come out of your mouth, but all they're thinking

293
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 7: about is how those things make you feel.

294
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: And music gives you a feeling.

295
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 7: As long as music feels good, it feels like they

296
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 7: should already have an instant connection with you anyway, like, oh,

297
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 7: that's the person that wrote that song, so she makes

298
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 7: me feel good.

299
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: I can agree with that.

300
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 5: To it on a deeper level, I would say it's

301
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 5: like frequency. It's like when you put that intention into

302
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 5: the song, when you are recording, it resonates, like you know,

303
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 5: when somebody tells you you look so beautiful, like that

304
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 5: hits you and it makes you smile, makes you feel good.

305
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: Or and as soon as somebody be like, what's this

306
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 4: outfit doing? I don't like that? It's ugly?

307
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 5: That hurts you know, Or when somebody says I love

308
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 5: you versus I mean I can't stand you like, it

309
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 5: hits you differently. And that same thing is happening when

310
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 5: you're recording and you can actually see the wavefile. It's

311
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 5: the same thing, but it's just you know, music and

312
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 5: whatever you're saying. So you have to put that intention

313
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 5: into it of like what do I want this music

314
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 5: to accomplish, how do I want it to leave people?

315
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 5: How do I want it to resonate? After years of

316
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: doing it, you start thinking about stuff like that. And

317
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 5: I think with these, you know, the two songs you mentioned,

318
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 5: made for me in hours and hours, that is what

319
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 5: people are feeling. They're feeling my intention of just love

320
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 5: and harmony and kindness and connection. And I'm glad to

321
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 5: be able to offer that because it's a whole lot

322
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 5: of other stuff out here that's not doing that.

323
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and.

324
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 8: I'm talking about everybody.

325
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 6: My son sings that song abod eleven, Oh, that's eleven, right,

326
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 6: and it was like it was really big and trendy

327
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 6: on TikTok and what that does for music now speaks

328
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 6: volumes as well. You know, that's one of the biggest

329
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 6: platforms as as far as music goes. How did it

330
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 6: affect you when Universal removed it from TikTok.

331
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: Or did it even I just want to be clear.

332
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 5: You know, streaming is still a developing country. You know,

333
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 5: they are trying to figure that out, and I don't

334
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 5: think that the coin is is not doing what it

335
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 5: should be doing across the board, So let's just be

336
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: clear about that. I would say that the number one

337
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 5: thing for me is as an artist, you have to

338
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 5: know how to present yourself to the people. In other words,

339
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 5: market You have to know how to market yourself. You

340
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 5: have to know who you are, how you want to

341
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 5: be received, perceived, digested.

342
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 4: What brands align with you, blah blah blah.

343
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 5: All that stuff is very very important, and so when

344
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 5: you're trying to figure that out and navigate that, you

345
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 5: don't want to sacrifice your visibility just because you don't

346
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 5: know exactly what your lane is yet, And I think

347
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 5: TikTok offers the ability for you to still be active,

348
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 5: be in the field and figure it out and figure

349
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 5: out what your tribe is. So music is obviously the

350
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 5: soundtrack to everybody's life. A lot of people are becoming,

351
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 5: you know, content creators themselves based off of the music

352
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 5: that we have created and offered them. And it does

353
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 5: hurt to not be able to do that for yourself,

354
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: and you know, promote yourself using yourself and promote your

355
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 5: own products, you know, promote yourself, promote your products, promote

356
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 5: your music. It definitely hurts. But I think that, you know,

357
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 5: I just heard recently something that really changed my perspective

358
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 5: on it is you don't ever want to be beholden

359
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 5: to anyone. So I don't ever want, you know, to

360
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: feel like without TikTok, I cannot move forward, you know.

361
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 5: But it's a wonderful platform. I've met a whole lot

362
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 5: of great, cool people on there. Had two three actually

363
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 5: viral songs on TikTok. It was Hours and Hours, a

364
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 5: little piece of a song called time Machine.

365
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: Yeah silly part of the end, yeah girl, yeah yeah.

366
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 5: So I mean that's incredible and in itself just that

367
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 5: right there. I do think though people may be getting

368
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 5: fatigued with just like constantly hearing the song over and

369
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 5: over and over, so that would be the only pitfall.

370
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,359
Speaker 4: But for me, it's been an excellent.

371
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 7: As a as an OG radio veteran. For some reason,

372
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 7: they never get tired of hearing the same.

373
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: Song over and over and over and over. That is

374
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 3: literally the foundation of radio.

375
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think though, like sometimes I be questioning, like

376
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 5: is this just my algorithm or is.

377
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: It really everywhere like that?

378
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 5: Because literally, like it still shocks me. I'm scrolling through

379
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: Instagram or I click on something on the explorer page

380
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 5: on Instagram, or I'm scrolling through TikTok and my song

381
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 5: is playing, or like I'll watch a video and I

382
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 5: don't even have the volume on and I'll tap it

383
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 5: and then it'll be my music.

384
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 4: That still is just like whoa, you.

385
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 8: Have moments where you get tired of listening to.

386
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 7: And you're also one of these artists who still understands

387
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 7: the power of radio. So even if these artists are

388
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 7: getting removed off these social media platforms like TikTok, you

389
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 7: kind of got a headstart on a lot of them

390
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 7: because you get so much radio play.

391
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 5: I mean, terrestrial radio still pays absolute, So I need

392
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 5: a pub, you know, for y'all ching y'all who you

393
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 5: know don't write your own songs. You might not know

394
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 5: what I'm talking about. But when you write your own

395
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 5: music and you get it played on the radio, which

396
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 5: is hard to do, but once you become a part

397
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 5: of that rotation and that family, and that's nice.

398
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 7: Ooh so radio pay more than the screaming absolutely, oh man.

399
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 5: Right, absolutely yeah, And then you know, I mean, honestly,

400
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 5: the real true gym is streaming is important and it's convenient.

401
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 5: But if you go over there to that iTunes store

402
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 5: and you buy that one dollar and twenty nine cent single,

403
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 5: you can buy twenty thousand singles and it will. I mean,

404
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 5: these numbers are all over the place, so don't take me,

405
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 5: but you can buy a handful of them singles and

406
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 5: it still adds up to more money than one hundred

407
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 5: million streams. Wow, you know what I'm saying, So go

408
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 5: ahead over there and spend that dollar if you can,

409
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 5: because that's where it helps artists. That's what pushes the

410
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 5: song up the billboard. If you paid attention to hours

411
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 5: and hours and you looked at the points I had

412
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 5: all these streaming, but my sales is what was keeping me,

413
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 5: you know, at number sixteen on the Hot one hundred

414
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 5: with no radio airplay and no album and all that

415
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 5: kind of stuff. So I'll be paying attention to all

416
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 5: that stuff.

417
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,080

Speaker 5: hours as far as I could on my own merit, Like,

446
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 5: I did not want to lean on nobody. I didn't

447
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 5: want to take no easy way out. I really wanted

448
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,920

449
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,520

451
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 5: So that was just me being selfish. But I feel

Speaker 5: he just did the Super Bowl and had this incredible

456
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 5: moment that was like very representative of our childhood. I mean,

457
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 5: at least my childhood in the early two thousands R

472
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 5: if I'm gonna.

473
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 4: Get another one.

474
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: He did a country album years ago.

475
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, years ago, So you were early in now, so

476
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: you know what Beyonce is dealing with with trying to

477
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: get songs played on the country stations or.

478
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: Was it easier for you?

479
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 4: Is she really dealing with it? And this is no shade.

480
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 5: I love Beyonce, love her down and I think what

481
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 5: she's doing to encourage people to listen outside of color

482
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 5: is incredible and how she has boosted artists like Tanner

483
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 5: Adell and Rainda Roberts, Brittany Spencer, Mickey Guid, and Jimmy

484
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 5: Allen Breelin. You know, all these people are getting more streams.

485
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 5: Willie Jones also is a good friend of mine. Their

486
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 5: streams have gone up like two hundred percent something crazy, right,

487
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 5: But I will say, when you are in Nashville attempting

488
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 5: to showcase yourself as a country artist, I mean there's

489
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 5: this one guy, Tony Evans Junior.

490
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: If you don't see him, you think that is an

491
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 4: old white man, like I mean, he is.

492
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 5: Incredible, But then when you look at him, he's just

493
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 5: like this really handsome, buff football player looking dude that

494
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 5: plays guitar black Eye. It doesn't match what the traditional

495
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 5: image is. And one thing that you realize is as

496
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 5: soon as you walk in the door, their opinion of

497
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 5: your music changes based on what they see. And so

498
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 5: that's only something that you can experience physically and in person.

499
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 5: And I think Beyonce has transcended that to where she

500
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 5: has so much notoriety and power and talent, clear talent,

501
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 5: that it's hard to hide behind the excuse that this

502
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 5: is in country. Bless your heart, the lady is Beyonce, Like,

503
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 5: you're gonna play it or you're not. And if you're not,

504
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 5: there is a reason why you aren't. And it's very

505
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 5: clear what that is.

506
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 7: Umber one on the country charts, and she's number one

507
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 7: in the country now.

508
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 5: Overall, I think that's incredible because there's never been a

509
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 5: black woman to do that ever. But although have been

510
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 5: many that have tried, and that's my point. There have

511
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 5: been artists. I've started in twenty eighteen with country and

512
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: when I tell you, I was fatigued very quickly by

513
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 5: the you know, you walk in the room and the

514
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 5: forks clink and everybody's like, who's this brownie up here

515
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: trying to you know? And I used to make jokes

516
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 5: like anytime I will go to a new co writer

517
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 5: is what they call it, or go to somebody's house,

518
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 5: I would bring about a whiskey. And if you know

519
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 5: in Tennessee, that's the thing Tennessee whiskey, and I would

520
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 5: make the joke.

521
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 4: Just go ahead and get it out.

522
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 5: I'll be like, yeah, I didn't want to be the

523
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 5: only brown thing in your house, brown something in here, so.

524
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 4: I just brought you a little gift.

525
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 5: But it is a well known fact if you go

526
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 5: down there, they don't want you in there, and you

527
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 5: know they can't hide that anymore.

528
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 7: So I thought, Canda do onways say something very interesting.

529
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 7: She said that Beyonce is more country than Taylor Swift

530
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 7: because Beyonce.

531
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: Is from Texas.

532
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 4: Very true.

533
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 7: Always had that country twain and a boy, Taylor Swift

534
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 7: from Pennsylvania and got Gotta make.

535
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 5: Snya Twain from Canada, Keith Urbans from Australia. It has

536
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 5: nothing to do with territory or even skill or melody

537
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 5: or story lyrical content. It has everything to do with

538
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 5: are you palatable to my eye? You know what I'm saying,

539
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 5: You should be back there bringing me something to eat

540
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 5: and not of your And I'm not trying to be rude.

541
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 5: That is the experience, cut and dry, period. You know

542
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. I'm from Florida, from the South, grew

543
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 5: up on a farm. I know what that feel like

544
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 5: and what that looks like, and so I think what

545
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 5: she's doing is incredible.

546
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: Y'all move out the way.

547
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: Are you going to go back do a couple of countrygors?

548
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 4: Money?

549
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 5: Long?

550
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: Would I be doing country music? She's R and B.

551
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 3: Like money, farm something money.

552
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 5: I am a multifaceted individual and I have lots of

553
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 5: layers to me, and so maybe we might be seeing

554
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 5: some of those maybe if I feel like you, So.

555
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 6: Are you you currently writing for people? Are you taking

556
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 6: you know, like new like, are you writing any new

557
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 6: music for people?

558
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 5: I just finished my album. Yeah, so I've just been

559
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 5: focused on on.

560
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 6: She And is that the goal like from now on

561
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 6: just to focus on the shoe?

562
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 4: I don't know.

563
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 5: I think there needs to be a lot of attitude

564
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 5: adjustments and like, you know, business practices aren't the greatest

565
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 5: and so, you know, once I have exited a cycle

566
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 5: of abuse, I don't necessarily want to go back just

567
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 5: for because at the end of the day, you know,

568
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 5: it might be profitable and monetarily, but spiritually and energetically

569
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 5: just going in the room with people who are just rude, ungrateful,

570
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 5: who's gonna get amnesia as soon asan like oh yeah,

571
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 5: you know, I think my split needs to be seventy five.

572
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 4: Like, I don't have time for that.

573
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 5: I don't have time for that because I have to

574
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 5: learn how to be a good steward of my gift

575
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 5: and what.

576
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 4: God gave me. You know, he gave me the key

577
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 4: to the vault. I'm not just going to keep opening

578
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 4: it and.

579
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 5: Letting anybody come up in there and just you know,

580
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 5: run them up and it's no shade. I work with

581
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 5: who wants to work with me. If the energy is right,

582
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 5: let's go. And there are people who I absolutely adore,

583
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 5: but they have to want that, you know, because when

584
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 5: I get in my mold, when I'm in that studio,

585
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 5: I'm a different beast. If you can't handle you know,

586
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 5: somebody who know what they're doing and talk. You know,

587
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 5: I'm Vario. It's no hard feelings. I'd be like, I

588
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 5: don't like that. I think we do, but no, I

589
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: don't like Is that you sure that's what you want

590
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:04,959
Speaker 5: to say.

591
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 4: I don't like this.

592
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 5: But if you can't handle that, I can't be in

593
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 5: the room with you because they.

594
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 6: Have to know who you are too. At the end

595
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 6: of the day, you know what I'm saying, Oh no,

596
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 6: you disagree with that.

597
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: I don't even that doesn't matter.

598
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 5: I think you can tell when somebody's locked in and

599
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 5: they know what they're doing.

600
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, when you.

601
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 5: Pull up in somebody's kitchen and you see them hitting

602
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 5: that season in that wrisk, You're like, oh.

603
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: This is finna be good. They know how to cook.

604
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 5: So I think, like that's just it for me is

605
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 5: when I'm in the room with you. If I can

606
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 5: tell that you closed off or you know, you in

607
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 5: your ego or you ain't leaving no room for God

608
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 5: to come in and give us the idea, then I'm

609
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 5: just kind of like, all right now, yeah, what we

610
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 5: about to eat at?

611
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 3: You know?

612
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I saw you tweet recently. I don't know if

613
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 7: he was joking, but you found out you were autistic.

614
00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 5: Okay, So that's a little bit for context. I have

615
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 5: dealt with like processing issues my entire life, and you know,

616
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 5: as black and brown.

617
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 4: People, we don't always have the best access or even.

618
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 5: Ability to understand that some of our limitations cannot be helped,

619
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 5: like you need to go and talk to somebody and

620
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 5: see somebody about that. So just you know, coming across

621
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 5: literature and connecting with people who also deal with a

622
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 5: lot of the same issues that I've been having and

623
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 5: understanding what they have put or the name that they

624
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 5: have put on it or attached to it. It made

625
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 5: me start doing my own research and being like, well,

626
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 5: wait a minute, you know when this happens to me,

627
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 5: this also happens, and so there's a little bit of

628
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 5: like ADHD autism on this like and then I have

629
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 5: loopus as well, So just understand and that is like

630
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 5: a stress induced inflammation of the body.

631
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: And maybe I am.

632
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 5: Stressed out because I'm frustrated because I can't process certain

633
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 5: things or like. And I also think there's an other

634
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 5: added layer of because I'm so intelligent to other people

635
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 5: and I write these songs that they're and I look

636
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 5: a certain way they're like, ain't a way that you are,

637
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 5: because when you think about autism, you have a certain

638
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 5: visual that you think about. But there are highly functioning

639
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 5: autistic people and I want to be very careful about

640
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 5: how I talk about it because it could be this

641
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 5: is a sensitive topic to a lot of people who

642
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 5: may not relate to me or resonate with what I'm saying.

643
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: I'm still figuring it out.

644
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 5: And also late diagnosis is a lot more difficult to

645
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 5: find practitioners who can sit with you and figure that out.

646
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 5: Like I said, just kind of like relating to not

647
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: even no, no, no. What I was saying is other people

648
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 5: who have gotten their diagnosis and who have been working

649
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 5: through it as adults, when they share their stories about

650
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 5: how they are affected, how they process information. I was

651
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 5: relating to a lot of it was resonating with me.

652
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 5: So I did my own research and was reading about

653
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 5: late stage diagnosis in women how it presents, so like

654
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 5: something that I'm thinking is just me being, you know,

655
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 5: having issues with irritation and insomnia, anxiety, those things are

656
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 5: actually symptoms of what could be ADHD, autism and things

657
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 5: like that. So now I have to find someone who

658
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 5: can do that for me and test me because right now,

659
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 5: because I have lupus and I've been dealing with that

660
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 5: since twenty fourteen, anytime anything goes wrong with me, they

661
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 5: just be like, it's lupus.

662
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 4: They just give me steroids, you know.

663
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 5: So I have to really like find holistic doctors and

664
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 5: to the root of the issue, because maybe it might

665
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 5: not be autism, maybe it might be something else. But I,

666
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 5: in that moment, tweeted my frustration and processing.

667
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: You know.

668
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 5: That's a great example of it. And I actually deleted

669
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: Twitter off my phone after that because I'm just like, yeah,

670
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 5: you know what, let me just figure out what this

671
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 5: is first before you start talking.

672
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 3: Like I know what I'm talking not good for your

673
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 3: mental health.

674
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 7: And I don't think people realize how much unhealed trauma

675
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 7: is projected on Twitter and social media.

676
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 5: Every day toxic opinions, undeveloped thoughts.

677
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 7: Yeah.

678
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 6: So yeah, also bringing awareness you know what that tweet,

679
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 6: you know, it could be so many other men and

680
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 6: women thinking that same thing. And the fact that Moneylong

681
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 6: said it, it's like, oh snap, And before I can retweet,

682
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 6: you be like, oh my god, I'm feeling that way.

683
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 8: Deleted the damn I.

684
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 5: I didn't delete it too, I just deleted it off

685
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 5: my phone so I don't have access to it.

686
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 4: I will not be redownloading x.

687
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 6: So it's kind of good and bad because, like everything,

688
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 6: you're not the only one feeling that way. Well, you

689
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 6: know what, I just didn't like the fact that, like

690
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 6: all the positive stuff I post, all the information that

691
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 6: I give and disseminate, that's what the blog shows.

692
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 4: And I'm just like, see, I don't like that because.

693
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 5: If I'm sitting here telling you that stress affects my

694
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 5: mental and then you do something to.

695
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 4: Further exacerbate that, you're not my friend.

696
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 5: And I know a lot of these blog people that

697
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 5: you know, it's like, you know what, y'all be calling

698
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 5: me over here at the carpet, y'all be asking me

699
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 5: to come do all events and stuff.

700
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 7: Don't sadly you have.

701
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 4: To, so don't try to lean on it when you need.

702
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,959
Speaker 6: Something to you and you know you have to. You

703
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 6: have to realize, like, these are not my friends. These

704
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 6: are people that are associates.

705
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 8: In this business. You're not my friend.

706
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 6: And people use the word friend very loosely, and then

707
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 6: when you say somebody is not your friend, they even

708
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 6: take that.

709
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 4: What I know, just because you know, money long says don't.

710
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 5: Do don't do yeah, because you know they'd be having

711
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 5: to they be having to tell me like put it forward,

712
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 5: but you know, put a cork in a girl, because

713
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 5: I'll be like, because I've seen what you said in

714
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 5: the comment, I'll tell somebody quick.

715
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 4: They'd be like, you blocked me. You blocked me on Instagram.

716
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 5: Why you block me money, Well, let me block you

717
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 5: on TikTok to appreciate it making.

718
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: I don't think anything wrong with.

719
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 4: That, you know, I think I think that.

720
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 5: What I think is that in our community, in our culture,

721
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 5: there is a limit to how successful someone can be

722
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 5: before it starts to.

723
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 4: Get uncomfortable for the collective. Because we are not gay.

724
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 5: They just try to come up with something some kind

725
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 5: of read very much something I mean that sounded like,

726
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 5: gon be you next.

727
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: Charlottagne says.

728
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 5: No, but like somebody says something ridiculous the other day,

729
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 5: like she got ab etching what much? They just be

730
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 5: making up stuff. Yeah, because I posted this video and

731
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 5: you can see like my app. But it's like I

732
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 5: think it's like it gets uncomfortable because they have not

733
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 5: seen it, you know, many times, and so they have

734
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 5: to be like, all right, now that's enough, that's enough.

735
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 5: You know, you get that secondhand embarrassment with when somebody

736
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 5: is getting too much praise and it's just like, all right,

737
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 5: the light has been we see you.

738
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 8: You know, it's like I want you to make it,

739
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 8: but don't make it too far.

740
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 4: Because it's that edge of it's just uncomfortable. I don't know.

741
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 4: I don't know that it's really that.

742
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 5: I think it's subconsciously you're justifying your own failures. Well,

743
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 5: it just makes you uncomfortable to understand that there is

744
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 5: much much more available and you weigh down here, you

745
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.

746
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 4: And it's not judging anybody where they're at, but when.

747
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 5: You're used to seeing people being super uber duper successful,

748
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 5: you understand that yeah can have that, and there's less

749
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 5: limitation on your starting point, whereas for us, a lot

750
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 5: of times that finish line is so far and then

751
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 5: when it if you start pushing it even further with

752
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 5: your success.

753
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 4: You're like, hold on, stop, wait, don't do that because.

754
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 5: That's more work for me. And I think understanding and

755
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 5: being able to process that it helps you to not

756
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 5: take it on, like not feel it's not personal. I

757
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 5: do say I did say in the beginning it used

758
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 5: to hurt my feelings that it used to be mostly

759
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 5: black women that I saw doing it, and then you know,

760
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 5: I would say, like the feminine, more gay black men

761
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 5: was doing it too. It's just like, uh, I hate

762
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 5: that outfit. Uh look at her wig, Uh her late sprint.

763
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 7: Uh.

764
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 5: Like it's just just tearing you down, like or you know,

765
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 5: I've done a few things to enhance my appearance, teeth,

766
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 5: you know, all the surgeries, and people will say, you know,

767
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 5: oh she hate herself. You know, you need to love

768
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 5: your black features, like nobody said I did not.

769
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 4: You know, I want to get my nails, my hair.

770
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 5: What's the difference if I do something that seems a

771
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 5: little bit more permanent.

772
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's white people in their own Okay.

773
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 4: It's hard.

774
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 5: It's hard to ignore when it's a thousand against one,

775
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 5: you know, but I have learned to get out the comments.

776
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 4: Understand.

777
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 5: Like I said that, when people see you doing well,

778
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 5: and when people see that you want more for yourself

779
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 5: and that you're willing to go to certain links, it

780
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 5: really makes them uncomfortable and understanding and having compassion for

781
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 5: that position.

782
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 7: They're really justifying their own face because they have to

783
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 7: say to themselves, oh, she did something and he did something,

784
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,840

828
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 6: singed with somebody or nothing.

829
00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 8: I'm oh so still to the same dude that you got.

830
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 6: I know that's right, because I'm sitting here trying to

831
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 6: look we can go out, and I was about talking

832
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 6: about this, but I had to.

833
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 8: Realize that you're still.

834
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 6: Well that's nice because I also had another question, right,

835
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 6: I need to write it down because you know, I'll

836
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 6: be stumbling over my words when stuff gets too long.

837
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 6: But you have a line in your song where you

838
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 6: mentioned the smell of your perfume, right, which has people

839
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 6: thinking that the love interest is women. That's what they

840
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 6: I ain't saying, that's what I thought, but you know

841
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 6: that's what people think. So I have to ask you,

842
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 6: especially how you spelled the song. I was and I

843
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 6: was a lot of people. Yeah, you know, but this

844
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 6: that me again, this is somebody else. Is that you're

845
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 6: leaving the little easter egg that you could be into women? Romantically,

846
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 6: but I prefer hot dogs.

847
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 4: I don't like bolooney.

848
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,640

00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 5: like a no no, it's like a store. When you

866
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 5: go in there, it's like incense. They got like the

867

Speaker 4: These days.

874
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 5: But also if you are into the world of God,

875
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 5: you understand that the Holy Spirit has a perfume, a

876
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:14,720

00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 5: I will say one thing I don't do is use

887
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 5: gingers in my songs for the most part. I'll try

888
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 5: to keep it ginger neutral like you. I it us

889
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:57,000

Speaker 4: I do this, you know what.

893
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 7: I'm Charlotte, because you're talking about your husband and you

894
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 7: say they no, no.

895
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 5: You have to make it make sense. That suggests that

896
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 5: I'm talking about non binary folks.

897
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,920
