Speaker 5: What's up, y'all?

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to a very special edition of Course Love Supreme

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: once again. This is a road trip, well, non exactly

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: a road trip. We're kind of up the block from

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: Bryant Park in New York City. I'll say that twenty

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: years ago, when the Roots were first formed, we made

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: and cut our teeth on the festival circuit, and festivals

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: are like now a thing in America. Back in the

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: early nineties, I was like really unheard of to have

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: different genres together under one roof, like doing a festival.

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: We always said that we had enough pool and of

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: course enough finances, we were going to bring a festival

26
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: to whatever city that we chose to do. And of course,

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: I guess most of you guys are familiar with the

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: Roots Picnic. That's our Philadelphia homegrown festival event. So this

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: year we decided to take the Roots Picnic to Bryant

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Park in New York City and entertained over twenty thousand

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: people for two days. So many acts played the picnic.

32
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: David Byrne, Wu Tang, Clan di'angelo, John Mayer, even Alicia Keys,

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, Common of course the Roots performed as well.

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: We even Adnle, Rogers and Chic. That's a lot of lineup. Anyway,

35
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: we recorded these special episodes of Quest Love Supreme live

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: during the Roots Picnic. I was running around quite a

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: bit too. I popped up in the show occasionally when

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: I had a minute, but I was basically rehearsing. But

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: don't worry, the team Supreme held it down and they

40
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,600

00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,800

197
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 9: so I missed. I miss actually seeing you do your thing.

198
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 9: But we had you send over just some tracks you

199
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 9: know before, and I was just.

200
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: Reading the tracks.

201
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 9: I was like, Yo, this motherfucker is in my iTunes,

202
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 9: like like some of the Jones just being like the

203
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 9: Greg Reporter nineteen sixty but Donald bird Love has come around,

204
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 9: like just I was like, oh my god, Like this

205
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 9: dude is like me.

206
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, And I mean my style, you know, it covers

207
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 12: a lot from like really like esoteric mixtape radio show

208
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 12: stuff to like more mainstream generic and you know, when

209
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 12: I first started djaying, I was in a place where

210
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 12: I was either in like in a bar in Brooklyn,

211
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 12: playing like Roy Airs, Vinyl and Weldon Irving or whatever,

212
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 12: or I was in Manhattan playing like Britney Spears and

213
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 12: justin Timberlating, and you know, obviously one of those two

214
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 12: was a struggle for me, but I was getting it

215
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 12: done because it was a check and I think, you know,

216
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 12: after like twelve to thirteen years of djaying, I've been

217
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 12: able to kind of like reconcile everything in the middle

218
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 12: where I've just found that happy medium where in one

219
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 12: of my parties you may hear like a soulful joint,

220
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 12: but you're probably you're also gonna hear Drake in the future.

221
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 12: And I've been able to kind of like eliminate all

222
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 12: like the real disposable pop shit, you know what I mean.

223
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 12: So in terms of my style, I would say it's

224
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 12: basically like the best of black music that I love,

225
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 12: you know, hip hop, R and B, Soca house.

226
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: Comany. He's in New York, Oh way in New York.

227
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 13: You got to yeah, you got to.

228
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 8: Man said Africa, what part of what the are you're from?

229
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 5: Part I'm from Sudan? Oh wow? Oh wow?

230
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: So how does that?

231
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 8: How does I mean?

232
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: Because most people don't know the musical influence of Sudan,

233
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: Do you is it any do you ever play anything or.

234
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 12: You know, we don't have that big of a Sudanese

235
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 12: community in New York, so if I were to drop

236
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 12: a track in my bomb, but I'm also like part

237
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 12: ever trying and the whole like East African connects, so

238
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 12: there's a lot of like Ethiopians and Era trains that

239
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 12: come through to my events. And so I got that

240
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 12: music on deck, and when I do drop it, it's

241
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 12: a riot. You know, you have people who are not

242
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 12: familiar with it, like what the hell is going on?

243
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 5: But the ones that are form they lose their mind. Yeah,

244
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 5: totally got you.

245
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 12: I mean I do that late night, not in the

246
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 12: middle of prime time.

247
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 9: So if it bombs, this is okay. Got my manly,

248
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 9: I don't know if you're he's that's my homie, Okay.

249
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 9: He's from Sudan as well. Odyssey UH producer EMCUH was

250
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 9: based out of DC. I think he's here now. But incredible,

251
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 9: incredible artists. Your start, Like what leads a person to

252
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 9: want to be a DJ? Like what is the you

253
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 9: know people have some people want to be MC, some

254
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 9: people want to be producers. What is it that drove

255
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 9: you to say I want to select the sounds for people.

256
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

257
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 12: I think it was maybe the easiest way for me

258
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 12: to touch music, being that I just don't play instruments

259
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 12: and I don't sing. When when I was in high

260
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 12: school in college, I used to rap.

261
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 5: You know you're being We all did.

262
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, you had your.

263
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 5: Little you you did? You know I did not, I

264
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 5: did not. Have you heard me rap before I have,

265
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 5: but you just did it exactly. Everybody wrapped in high school,

266
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 5: Like I mean, that was like a rite of passage.

267
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 13: I think, right.

268
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 5: And I think.

269
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 12: The Roots used to do something called black Lilies. Yeah, yeah,

270
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 12: I even like I got on stage on that. It's

271
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 12: one of the MC's that went up during the open mic,

272
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 12: and that was like, that was my hip hop career,

273
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 12: highlight of my life. I don't remember what year. This was,

274
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 12: late nineties, early two thousands, you know, I don't recall,

275
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 12: but around that time, you know, I became like really

276
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 12: disenchanted with hip hop. It was super jiggy, and I

277
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 12: just kind of fell out of love with it. So

278
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 12: I started researching all the samples behind the music, and

279
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 12: that's when I started collecting vinyl and you know, to

280
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 12: go back to your question, I don't think a lot

281
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 12: of us who started djaying in maybe late nineties or

282
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 12: before that. I don't think anybody starts djaying with the

283
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 12: goal of becoming a DJ. You just love music, you

284
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 12: collect vinyl, and after a certain amount of time, you

285
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 12: have enough music and you have enough experience that you

286
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 12: could actually rock a party, which is kind of different

287
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 12: than the way it is today.

288
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 9: There was never anything where you said, Okay, I want

289
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 9: to get paid for this. It was like you didn't

290
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 9: start off with the intention of hay.

291
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 12: Now, because I was working a full time job. You know,

292
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 12: I went to college for electrical engineering, and so I

293
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 12: came out of school. I was working a full time job,

294
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 12: which I actually held for like, you know, over ten years,

295
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 12: and I was doing both at the same time, you know,

296
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 12: living in Manhattan, working in Manhattan, uh, DJing in Manhattan.

297
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 12: So I never really have to worry about getting paid

298
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 12: for DJing. So I just kept like honing my skills

299
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 12: and like refining my craft, and ultimately, you know, I

300
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 12: became so good that I didn't have to work anymore.

301
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 9: It's interesting you say that I had a talk with

302
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 9: a friend of mine a couple of days ago. He

303
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 9: was asking me about like, Okay, when do you make

304
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 9: the leap from your hobby to your real from your

305
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 9: real job.

306
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 12: Your hobby to your jobby job hobby to your job.

307
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 9: And my, my, I said, almost verbating with listen, as

308
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 9: long as you got something that's paying you that steady check,

309
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 9: stay with that ship.

310
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 5: Don't walk away from that fucking check. The fuck is

311
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 5: wrong with you?

312
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 8: Better get that money, get fired, you get that unemployment first.

313
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, because you never want after, just like you never

314
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 9: want desperation. A few of your artistic decisions, you know

315
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 9: what I'm saying. You can't focus on being a great

316
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 9: DJ when you ain't got no fucking roof.

317
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 12: So and that job can finance your craft if you

318
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 12: buy turntables, you want to buy pro tools, you want

319
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 12: to buy mac you want to.

320
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 5: Like getting.

321
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 9: What so making that transition going from the jobby to

322
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 9: the hobby, Like, what was that like? When did you know, like, Okay,

323
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 9: officially I can do this full time and I'm good.

324
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 5: What was that like for you?

325
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 12: I just think it came at a point where I

326
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 12: became feel miserable. This is like, honestly, I was going

327
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 12: back and forth from the corporate life because I'm like

328
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 12: you know what, I got enough money, I'm about to

329
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 12: DJ and trial for a year or two.

330
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 5: Now I'm like, oh shit, I'm broke.

331
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 12: We go back and I think the last time I

332
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 12: just like, you know, cut off the umbilical cord was

333
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 12: twenty fourteen.

334
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 5: Oh wow, yeah, so not that long ago.

335
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 12: But I just started to feel miserable. There was such

336
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 12: a huge difference between how I felt at the office

337
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 12: and you know, I really like engineering. It's it's a

338
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 12: great job. You're like really building things and it's problem

339
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 12: solving all day long. But I just start to feel

340
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 12: miserable versus you know, the high that I would get

341
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 12: when I'm out DJing, you know, doing day parties with

342
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 12: three hundre to my friends. I was like, all right,

343
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 12: I'm not at the point where I can make up

344
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 12: that income, but I think having my time and my

345
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 12: life back was probably worth like six figures to me

346
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 12: at that point. So I was like, fuck it. I

347
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 12: start from the bottom and build it back up. And

348
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 12: you know, it happened pretty fast. That's dope, man, It's

349
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 12: really dope.

350
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 9: I'm sitting here with the Man of the Hour DJ

351
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 9: MoMA everyday people uh were sitting here, So this is

352
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 9: Rooth's Picnic, So I want to talk picnic stuff. What

353
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 9: is when you got this gig? Like what was your

354
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 9: what was your mind state in terms of saying it's

355
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 9: like setting up your crate or your playlist or whatever,

356
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 9: Like what was what was that like for this kind

357
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 9: of crowd? Like how would you rock this this kind

358
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 9: of crowd?

359
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 12: Well I had I had gotten the nod for Roots

360
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 12: Picnic in Philly, Okay, so that that gave me like

361
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 12: a good introduction. And then when when Quest told me

362
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 12: about Roots Picnic New York, I was like, oh man,

363
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 12: that's like a home game. That's it's going to be

364
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 12: so easy, truth be told, I haven't even thought about

365
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 12: it yet. It's going to be in a few hours,

366
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 12: but it's it's not that long a set, forty five minutes.

367
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 12: It's gonna be so easy. I'm just gonna do a

368
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 12: mixture of like you know, like some hip hop hits,

369
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 12: but also like some some more like global danceable stuff.

370
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 12: I'm thinking Brazilian vibes, African vibes, try to bring something.

371
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 5: Different, try to warm it up out there. It's cool.

372
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 12: Yes, yeah, tickets take you guys to the tropics.

373
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 5: So you don't you don't pre plan your sets at all. Yeah,

374
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 5: that's kind of question. Yeah I did.

375
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 12: I did the Red Bull three style the same way

376
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 12: I pulled up to It was at South Paul and

377
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 12: I was just chilling in the green room and I

378
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 12: started looking at some crates, you know, because when you've

379
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 12: DJ enough, you have all these micro sets that are

380
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 12: in your head. So sometimes it's a matter of piecing

381
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 12: the right micro sets together and having the right transition

382
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 12: records to go from one genre to the other. I

383
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 12: don't think I've ever done a set where I've gone

384
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 12: song by song because maybe song number seven didn't hit. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

385
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 12: you know, maybe my intuition is like, nah, don't play

386
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 12: this right now.

387
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 9: So yeah, I was gonna ask you. So a lot

388
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 9: of it is definitely you have to read the crowd.

389
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 9: I mean, you can have something in your mind, but

390
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 9: it's like, I don't think that's.

391
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 12: One hundred percent. I think I think that's basically like

392
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 12: my main attribute. I'm not necessarily like a turntable list

393
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 12: or I don't talk on the mic too much. It's

394
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 12: mostly selection, mixing and timing. So selection's key.

395
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 5: If you hear some noise, it's just me and the boys.

396
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 5: Goddamn symbol. Now we're a live on location. We're at

397
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 5: the Routh's picnic.

398
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 9: And so if you hear any kind of booming or

399
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 9: any kind of just heard coffins, unpaid Bill in his

400
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 9: inmphasema orde, or if you're any kind of drums or anything,

401
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 9: it's probably our boss man Qus Love playing nearby.

402
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: So it may be some sounds from the picnic that

403
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 5: you guys here, but I think I think they got

404
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 5: the picture.

405
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, all right, the ambiance, you know what I'm saying, like,

406
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 9: it's authenticity.

407
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 5: Fuck it, ladies, gentlemen, we are we are proud once again,

408

Speaker 3: It's simple.

443
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 14: It's just avocado kind of smeared on on some toast.

444
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,639

Speaker 5: ever actually like went with it?

468
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 15: One time, I was in Mexico about a month ago,

469
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 15: and I was trying to go to this really fancy restaurant,

470
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 15: and I put my name down and I got there

471
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 15: super late, and I guess Adam Levine had gotten married

472
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 15: at this restaurant.

473
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 10: Wow.

474
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 15: And so I got there and they were like, oh,

475
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 15: we thought it was going to be Adam Levine. And

476
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 15: I smoozed him a little bit. So not it didn't

477
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 15: truly like work in my favorite but I did get

478
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 15: to sit you guys, I still got a little something. Actually,

479
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 15: mostly it's just disappointment.

480
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 5: This actually reminds me of.

481
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: Something I read in the New York Post the other

482
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: day about man in Manhattan. His name was Denzel Washington.

483
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,320

484
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 5: by the name of Aretha Franklin. Washington. Ultimate clickbait. Perfect,

485
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 5: it was perfect.

486
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,840

511
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 5: Think y'all were there around the same time. I played

512
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 5: one of my first gigs there. Oh yeah where my

513
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 5: first group of Little brother we played.

514
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 9: Uh we played New School University album around the time

515
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 9: we released album The Mistters Show, and it was around

516
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 9: that time.

517
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 5: But New School always showed us love.

518
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's a great place and it was a nice chip.

519
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 14: Oh remember, oh man, come on the first But you

520
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 14: know what, here's here's the funny thing. So for us,

521
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 14: we we have for many many years kind of based

522
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 14: we can always judge and this is not always true,

523
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 14: it's not always true, but back in the day, at

524
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 14: least especially with college shows, we'd always judge like, Okay,

525
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 14: if we're getting a lot of money for the show,

526
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 14: it's gonna suck.

527
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 5: More money.

528
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 14: It's like the worst of the show. So the first

529
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 14: show we played out of college, that was like the

530
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 14: biggest check. It was like two thousand dollars or something,

531
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 14: and we're stoked.

532
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 13: We never made that.

533
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 14: We never made that kind of money at a show,

534
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 14: and we drove it was it was outside of Philly

535
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 14: and it was at this Uh it was like on

536
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 14: a Tuesday night in like the student lounge in the

537
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 14: rec room at like ten pm and there's nobody there

538
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 14: except the promoter and one guy playing pinball on the

539
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 14: very back. The promoter left a guy who was playing.

540
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 14: It turned into just a rehearsal that we got, very

541
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 14: anti climact, very ante. Not bad that our highest paid gig,

00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,240

00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 14: of my And they were also a band. They played,

602
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 14: I mean, they played their instruments and they were so good.

603
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 14: I was such a fan. I even saw that Remember

604
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 14: that movie that Black thought.

605
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 13: I saw that movie.

606
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Brooklyn, I wasted ninety minutes of my life.

607
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 17: It was actually I think was graating it though, Like

608
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 17: I mean, it was okay, it was I think it

609
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 17: was just a yeah story.

610
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, it was just like that Romeo and Juliet kind

611
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 14: of yeah.

612
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,480

613
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 9: heart strings like an interracial little story. I need more

614
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 9: passion from the black and Jewish love. I need to

615
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:50,840

619
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 5: fair enough. When we have Tarika on the show, we

Speaker 9: different kind of preparation that goes into it, because oh, well,

624
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 9: first off, what is it like to play for it,

625
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 9: because I've been in this situation before, so I want

626
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 9: to hear from you guys, what is it like to

627
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 9: play for quote unquote your heroes?

628
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 5: Like, what is that like? Is there a different kind

629
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 5: of preparation? Terrifying?

630
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 13: It's terrifying.

631
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 14: But also you know that the lucky thing for us

632
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 14: is that we have been again, we've been a band

633
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 14: for so long that we've had a lot of preparation time.

634
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 14: So you know, like at the end of the day,

635
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 14: like I think, as as nervous as we might get,

636
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 14: you know, playing in front of our heroes or playing

637
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 14: for some of our heroes, I think I think we

638
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 14: can bring it. I feel like it's when when the

639
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 14: time comes, it's.

640
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 16: Almost easier this way. This I'm pretty confident playing you know,

641
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 16: our set. I have to admit that when we jammed

642
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 16: with the Roots during south By, I was shitting my pants.

643
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 18: Yeah.

644
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, So we sat in with them. They did the

645
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 14: whole thing south By Southwest this year where they invited

646
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 14: some of the musicians playing to play, and we were

647
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 14: lucky enough to to sit in and play with them,

648
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 14: and that was the craziest, craziest, you know, it's one

649
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 14: thing to play like you know, you're set the music

650
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 14: that you you know, have written and know you know,

651
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 14: like the back of your hand, and it's nother to

652
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 14: just you know, go into a live jam situation, you

653
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 14: know where you've you've had maybe one quick rehearsal and

654
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 14: and you know the you know, the roots of pros.

655
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 14: He was such a tight ship out there.

656
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 5: It doesn't so cool. We wouldn't but talk.

657
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: About that real quick because the way that like throws

658
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: his cues at the same time while he's playing drums

659
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: like he's music director.

660
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 16: Just you know, I'm sure they've run through the songs,

661
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 16: you know, a couple of times. I don't think so

662
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 16: they may just have Yeah, it's amazing. He'll just say

663
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 16: you like, you know, all right, slow down, or give me,

664
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 16: give me four hits or you know, just you know

665
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 16: we're ending, you know, two bars, you know, and just

666
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 16: and they do it like it like it was you know,

667
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 16: practice a million times.

668
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 5: Very Prince, Yeah, yeah, exactly. I read. Prince was a

669
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 5: big influence.

670
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, man, he was a huge influence.

671
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 7: You know.

672
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 14: I would say that my two pillars that I always

673
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 14: go to with anything that I ever have written or

674
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 14: write or will write in the future or do just

675
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 14: in general. It's like there's always there's Bruce Springsteen and

676
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 14: this Prince.

677
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 5: What about those two? What about Well?

678
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 14: I feel like if I do anything that I that

679
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 14: I could see maybe being in line with either of them,

680
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 14: then it's then I'm on the right track, you know.

681
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 14: Like Prince was just the consummate entertainer and performer, and

682
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 14: he just I mean, he's like so many people can

683
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 14: speak way more eloquently on the man, the myth, the

684
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 14: legend that was Prince, you know, than I can. But

685
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 14: he was just a huge, huge influence on everything that

686
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 14: I do, and such a great performer and sing a musician.

687
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 14: And Springsteen is is storytelling is what gets me. And

688
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 14: his his just authenticity and he's so generous.

689
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 5: You know.

690
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 14: I just saw him play at Barclay's recently, and the

691
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 14: way have you guys seen his his show, I mean

692
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 14: it's like a yeah, Well, what he does is like

693
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 14: he starts his show off and the house lights are

694
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 14: up in the arena and he just walks on stage.

695
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 14: Wo the house lights stay up for the first three songs,

696
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 14: so it's just like a wedding band is there playing

697
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 14: for an arena but it's Bruce and his whole band,

698
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 14: and then the lights go down. He does the show

699
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 14: and it gets more theatrical at the end. Lights come

700
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 14: back up. In the last like six songs of the set,

701
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 14: after he's played for what like three hours or something,

702
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 14: he's he's, you know, taking requests from the audience, he's

703
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 14: bringing people up on stage. He's just so he's so

704
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 14: good with his fans and with his people that I,

705
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 14: you know, I just like I really admire that.

706
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 5: What's it like to have your songs everywhere?

707
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 19: I think, like, like like I was in the Supermark

708
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 19: the other day and Unsteady came on, and I feel like,

709
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 19: you're like, it's like it's it's surreal to me to

710
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 19: think that, Like you're in your house one day, right,

711
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 19: it's surreal to.

712
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 14: Me because I never hear it anywhere always, just like

713
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 14: I hear it everywhere, but it's like, ah, what world

714
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 14: do you live in?

715
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 5: Because I don't hear it.

716
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 19: Ever Like I have I have small kids listen to

717
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 19: pop radio all day and it's one of the one

718
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 19: of those sick songs that like every twenty minutes you

719
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 19: hear it again and again.

720
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 5: It's wonderful it's just it's.

721
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 14: That's good to hear.

722
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's I mean, it's good to hear you say

723
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 16: it's wonderful, because I was about to say it's one

724
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 16: of those things where it's it's really flattering. But I'm

725
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 16: also always nervous that it gets obnoxious for people. You know,

726
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 16: I don't want our songs to become the that annoying song.

727
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 20: Oh god, that's on again.

Speaker 3: all the moments. I'm like, man.

934
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 21: So I got into rap after that because I was

935
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 21: getting tired of like told to saying this or that,

936
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 21: and I was like, man, my sister could sing, Man,

937
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 21: I don't need that.

938
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 5: What was your first rap? What was your early hip hop?

939
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 3: Shoot?

940
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 21: Like my brother really because like, honestly, in my neighborhood,

941
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 21: everybody rapped like that was just the way it was,

942
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 21: like we hang out rap and my brothers were older,

943
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 21: Like my brother's a few years older than me, and

944
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 21: his friends were older. But for some reason, we we

945
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 21: all wanted up hanging out all the time.

946
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 3: Like it was kind of strange, like it was.

947
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 10: Shoot.

948
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, ninety three, oh wow, you know, yeah,

949
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 3: so we was rapping, that's what was popping like.

950
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 21: So you know, it was interesting though, because I was

951
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 21: probably about ten, and you know, but I was hanging out.

952
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 21: Ever ever was hanging out, and it was just like

953
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 21: lots going on, you know, we were like little adults.

954
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 3: And we were rapping and that body wrap my brother

955
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 3: rapped and everybody.

956
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 21: I remember the first time I seen him rap and

957
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 21: he was just like I don't know what he was saying,

958
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 21: but I remember the word was like get off my ballsack.

959
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 4: And everybody's like.

960
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 5: I was like.

961
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 3: Fishbowl and I was like, yo, that was dope. And

962
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 3: I started like, actually I wanted to rap, and he

963
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 3: started writing my wraps for me.

964
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 1: My brother.

965
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 21: He wrote me like two or three raps and they

966
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 21: were dope and I would spit them and then people

967
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 21: were like that sound good, but your brother wrote it.

968
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 5: And I was like, do you remember any of those?

969
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 16: Nah?

970
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 24: Man?

971
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 21: I mean, I remember my early raps that I began

972
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 21: to write, like I think I don't remember anything he wrote.

973
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 3: Because I was too young. But I quickly got out

974
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 3: of that.

975
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 21: I just started stealing his raps what I was permission

976
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 21: and like rewriting him like you know what I'm saying,

977
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 21: because that's how I was getting my templates. And then

978
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 21: I moved to a better neighborhood because it was real

979
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 21: violent in that neighborhood. So it was like shooting all

980
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 21: the time at robberies and everybody was fighting. I had

981
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 21: so many fights, Like by that time, it was crazy.

982
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 5: This is the Bronx.

983
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, this is the Bronx. So it was just

984
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 21: a crazy time. So my mom was just trying to

985
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 21: like get us away from there, so she moved us

986
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 21: uptown to the Bronx.

987
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 3: It was a little bit better.

988
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 21: These kids weren't as wild as the kids I grew

989
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 21: up with earlier, the little adults that when we were with.

990
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 21: These were actual children. Their parents really like were in

991
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 21: there and like, so when I moved uptown, wasn't nobody

992
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:48,480

1042
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 21: up and I go to the gym. It's just at

1043
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 21: this point it's part of my life. I mean, I

1044
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 21: think what happens is this. You know, when you were young,

1045
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 21: you can eat whatever you want and it doesn't affect you.

1046
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 21: You can drop pounds really easy, and it doesn't affect you.

1047
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 21: So as you get into your twenties, you begin to

1048
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 21: you still think this.

1049
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 3: Way, and it's not really necessarily that way. All the time.

1050
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 3: Your taoles absolutely slows down.

1051
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 21: And I had gotten into a relationship and my partner

1052
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 21: can cook, and she was just like she was cooking

1053
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 21: and cooking.

1054
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 3: It was like she's putting sugar in my water. I

1055
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 3: was getting so fat. I blew up.

1056
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 5: I blew up.

1057
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 3: No, it was like she pushed on a lot. It's

1058
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 3: like it's like I blew I blew up like a tech,

1059
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I was so fat. I

1060
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 3: got to two hundred and forty pounds, you feel me.

1061
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 3: And and before that I wasn't really that big. I

1062
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 3: went through phases like blow up.

1063
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 21: I was at skinny, awkward fat stage at twelve. Then

1064
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 21: at sixteen I got hot.

1065
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 3: I thought I was a shit, you know what I'm saying.

1066
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 21: I stayed this shit until like twenty four, and then

1067
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 21: I got a relationship, got chubby again, and I just

1068
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 21: kind of went back. I got the mortgage business. When

1069
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 21: I was there, I kind of got fat. But what

1070
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 21: what ultimately led it was just just come into an

1071
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 21: understanding that A I wanted to be able to perform,

1072
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 21: and that was the main thing. Like I really love

1073
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 21: to perform, and I wanted to be able to move,

1074
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 21: and I wanted to feel good, and I wanted to

1075
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 21: fit clothes.

1076
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 3: I wanted to fit jeans. I wanted to fit designer jeans.

1077
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 3: That was really the main thing.

1078
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 21: I was like, I have to can't They don't. No,

1079
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 21: they don't make if anyway us. No, you know, like

1080
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 21: you would think that you know, I could fit a

1081
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 21: man's pants.

1082

Speaker 12: No.

1083
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, they just like they don't make them. So

1084
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 21: I was like, you know what, I want to be

1085
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,239

Speaker 21: like buying T shirts and stuff. And I wanted to

1088
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 21: just feel good. And it's the best antidepressant that there is,

1089
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 21: you know, like they're just working when you know you

1090
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 21: feel good and you're healthy, like nothing can get you down.

1091
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 21: You don't even have the money, but you feel good

1092
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 21: about yourself. It was just a dedication. And what the

1093
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 21: first thing you have to realize when it comes to

1094
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 21: losing weight is that it's a lifestyle change. But it's

1095
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 21: only like hard for a period of time. So like

1096
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 21: it took me six months to lose forty pounds to

1097
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 21: look good enough to be like, damn, I'm there to

1098
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 21: keep me going right. And from that point on, I

1099
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 21: was no longer to struggle to even go to the

1100
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 21: gym because I felt I seen the results.

1101
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 3: I want to see more.

1102
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: Seeing those results, was that how you got over the

1103
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: to keep it or to make it a more permanent.

1104
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 13: Part of you.

1105
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 21: No, it was permanent. From the moment I decided to

1106
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 21: do it, I was like, that's it, I'm going on

1107
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 21: a diet. I went on a diet intense, died of

1108
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 21: four ounces meet four ounces vegetables three times a day,

1109
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 21: broth and freaking two crackers a gallon of water.

1110
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 3: And that's what I had to do.

1111
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 21: And I was hungry, and I had to sit behind

1112
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 21: home sometimes a lot of the time and not drink

1113
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 21: and I went to the gym three times a day,

1114
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,959
Speaker 21: and I went to hiking at the same same very.

1115
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 5: Strong will like to be, yeah, you ain't doing anything.

1116
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 21: If you want to, if you really think about it,

1117
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 21: you only had I only had to do that for

1118
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 21: like six months to a year, and then Now it's

1119
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 21: like I told through I would go based out on

1120
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 21: the milk, I'll gains. I gave twenty pounds on the left,

1121
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 21: you know what I'm saying. But when I twenty pound,

1122
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 21: I come home, I get a skin like, damn, you

1123
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 21: messed up. Come on, all right, now it's salad.

1124
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 3: It's salad. It's easier to go back.

1125
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 21: So it's just like it's like it's like a small

1126
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 21: period of time for you to change your whole entire life.

1127
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,959
Speaker 21: But once you do it for one year, six months,

1128
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 21: one year, you're done, Like with the hardest part, you

1129
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 21: know how to do it.

1130
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 3: You're done, and you know what's healthy.

1131
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 21: You even like it honestly because you start to like,

1132
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 21: you like feeling like, all right, I'm not eating nothing

1133
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 21: too heavy.

1134
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 5: I can't even make it this week. Let's look, I'm

1135
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 5: sitting down, man, I'm wearing back gym visit.

1136
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

1137
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 21: Three gym visits a week from being what you want.

1138
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 21: It's not about food for you really, because you're small.

1139
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 21: It's just like when you're bigger, you're trying to lose weight.

1140
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 21: So it's like kind of a little bit more of

1141
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 21: a struggle and what you know what, that's what they say.

1142
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 21: But you know what, as a woman, I will tell

1143
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 21: you it is not.

1144
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 3: It's not talk.

1145
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 8: Wait a minute, come on. They say that men shed

1146
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 8: weight much faster.

1147
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 3: They do shed weight faster with less. We just have

1148
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 3: to do the max and we'll shed the same. So

1149
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 3: basically like.

1150
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 21: Because they can because they got more tustostone and the

1151
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 21: muscle some of the things. That it will go to

1152
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 21: the right places. We have water and it just goes

1153
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 21: to the wrong places. So that just means that we

1154
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 21: don't cheat and we it will succeed.

1155
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 3: It's just you can't cheat. Men can cheat a little bit.

1156
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 5: I don't think the water can go to a wrong

1157
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 5: place anywhere. On a woman, I like some problem with

1158
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 5: none of that.

1159
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 10: I don't mind.

1160
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 5: You know, if you got the tiger stripes, got a

1161
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 5: little hell damage, you know, a.

1162
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 3: Couple of stretch mosses or whatever.

1163
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 21: You know, it's like, no one's perfect, and honestly, there's

1164
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 21: not the wrong stretch masses like whatever.

1165
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 3: But it's just more about how you feel.

1166
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 21: And really, honestly, you only get one body, and the

1167
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 21: older you get, the more you need that body to

1168
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 21: work the way you want it to. And if you

1169
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 21: don't work it out and you don't take care of

1170
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 21: it now, it will affect you at some points. So

1171
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 21: it's either an hour or later. The harder it gets

1172
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 21: is the older you get, it harder it gets.

1173
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 3: So anytime, the time is.

1174
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,439
Speaker 1: Now, as this conversation is so right on time, because

1175
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: I've been trying to get my ass back into them,

1176
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: and like I just kind of needed that push.

1177
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 5: I think we're just hard quest. I know we should

1178
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 5: do a Quest Team Supreme Fit challenge, like, so, well, see.

1179
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: If we do this, then I actually have to follow through.

1180
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 5: We got to hold each other count.

1181
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 3: Think about it.

1182
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 21: You lose three pounds a week on a good diet,

1183
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 21: like literally drinking a gallon of water a day, eating

1184
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 21: three four ounces of chicken, four ounces of vegetable or

1185
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 21: lean meat and vegetable three times a day. And when

1186
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 21: you get hungry sometimes it's not hungry, you're thirsty. Body

1187
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 21: process is the same. And if you honestly drink.

1188
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,879
Speaker 3: A fucking bottle of water before you eat your meal,

1189
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 3: you'll be so full by the time you're like, you

1190
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 3: just gotta eat slow.

Speaker 21: It's like all mental, bro Your stomach does not you

1217
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 21: a lot about the story. For me, the story just

1218
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 21: is is inspirational because I've been through so many things

1219
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,480

00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 3: To do what I love. So I hope that inspires people.

1222
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 5: What are some of the things that you've been through

1223
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 5: that you felt oof?

1224
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 21: I mean, you know, well, first I was in a

1225
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 21: foster home when I was a kid for a few

1226
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 21: years and that sucked very badly. Lots of incidents in there,

1227
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 21: you know, lost a lot of friends to just different

1228
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 21: depths of violence, uh, drug abuse, accidents, jail, uh, my

1229
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 21: cousin got killed, and just lots of stuff happens in life.

1230
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 21: I'm sure everybody has their own hardships, but sometimes when

1231
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 21: these things happen to you, you feel like you're defeated

1232
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 21: and you think that it's over, but it's really not.

1233
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 21: So my whole point is like, one bad day doesn't

1234
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 21: make a bad month, one bad month doesn't make.

1235
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 3: A bad life.

1236
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 21: It's just like to stay happy and stay dedicated to

1237
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 21: being happy because it's free, honestly, and it's the it's

1238
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 21: the one thing that really can't no one take away

1239
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 21: from you so you can give that to yourself.

1240
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 9: Do you ever feel, uh, sometimes like being a person

1241
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 9: that like made it out of that you know, that situation,

1242
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 9: that neativity. Do you ever sometimes feel like you know

1243
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 9: survivor's guild or do you feel like the one that

1244
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 9: made Like? What is cause I have those feelings, you know,

1245
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 9: for me sometimes, But what is that like for you

1246
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 9: to know that you're one of the few, if not

1247
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 9: the only you need to escape that hardship?

1248
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 21: Well, it is definitely difficult though, and I definitely have

1249
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 21: felt that feeling. I guess more in the beginning of

1250
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 21: coming into any successes. When I was in the mortgage

1251
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 21: business and I was making money and and I was

1252
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 21: helping everybody, it still had it. It came with its

1253
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 21: feeling of damn, I wish that they were just good

1254
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 21: without me. Or and I moved to California and I've

1255
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,479
Speaker 21: been there for five years, you know, getting the news

1256
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 21: from home that's not always feel pleasant. Yeah, but you know,

1257
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 21: ultimately everyone's life is in their hands. I have to

1258
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 21: come to terms of that. And also I'm not giving anything.

1259
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 21: I'm working so hard to achieve the things that I

1260
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,919
Speaker 21: want and I always have, and I think that that's

1261
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 21: the only thing that can get a person where they

1262
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 21: want to be. So ultimately, no, I feel like when

1263
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 21: I get these people that have things going on, or

1264
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 21: I feel these feelings, or people make me feel this way,

1265
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 21: I make them feel like, well, I can help you

1266
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 21: do something. But if you're not willing to do something,

1267
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 21: and then this is on you exactly, you know, and

1268
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 21: it's not, it's not, it's it's never.

1269
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 3: It's nothing to do with me.

1270
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 9: When you say you're working so hard, what is your

1271
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 9: average day like, what does in terms of your creative processes,

1272
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 9: it's something you do every day.

1273
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 5: What is just a day in the life of tissue?

1274
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 3: Well, they very surry. It's been. It's been through cycles.

1275
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 21: So when I first got to LA, every day I

1276
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 21: was in studio sessions about three or four day I

1277
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 21: was recording.

1278
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,919
Speaker 3: No me and time met I hop Oh.

1279
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 21: Random, you know, me and Jill Scott mad at a party,

1280
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 21: you know, just hanging out by the pool freestyling for

1281
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 21: ten hours, so just random stuff. LA is very small,

1282
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 21: the in the street. But when I first got there,

1283
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 21: I didn't know anyone. I wasn't published. I needed to

1284
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 21: make money or figure something out, so I just went

1285
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 21: to as many sessions as I could. I worked so

1286
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 21: much I would sometimes not even be able to speak,

1287
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 21: but I could sing, and I would just go record.

1288
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 21: So that was the first two years, and then the

1289
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 21: third year I spent recording this album, and days were like, uh,

1290
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 21: those days were actu Actually I was going through a

1291
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 21: lot of financial strain and I was trying to put

1292
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 21: together the record. I was still very overweight, and I

1293
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 21: was not I wasn't managed, and I was just trying

1294
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 21: to figure it out.

1295
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:59,439
Speaker 3: I did three or four records every three or four months. Wow,

1296
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 3: you know. So it was interesting that period.

1297
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 21: And in twenty fourteen, I spent touring a bit and

1298
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 21: like performing much more and started spreading awareness about the album,

1299
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 21: you know, and it's just been kind of like it

1300
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 21: just changes. But right now my daily day consists of

1301
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 21: I wake up in the morning, I go to the

1302
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 21: gym first thing. As soon as I wake up, I

1303
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 21: go to gym, spend about an hour there, come home

1304
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 21: and walk the dogs, and you know, just start working

1305
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 21: on the phones, you know, finding out what I have

1306
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 21: to do for the day. Right now, I'm recording a

1307
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 21: new album, so I'm doing a lot of that. And

1308
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 21: then bouncing around to performances.

1309
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 5: When you record, are you record yourself? Do you have engineers?

1310
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 3: I have Enginet.

1311
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 21: I record at Universal Studios, my publisher, and they are

1312
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 21: very supportive. They're the best publisher in the world. I

1313
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 21: think they've been great to me and they have always

1314
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 21: been behind me. So I used their studio and I

1315
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 21: have an engineer, and I have my producer friends kind

1316
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 21: of just all hang out power on the studio and

1317
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 21: I usually have ideas that I have already before I

1318
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 21: come to the studio, okay, so that we can kind

1319
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 21: of work on. And this album is just so awesome

1320
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 21: because I got dedicated to out the way. Dedicated to

1321
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 21: is the autobiography. Basically, this album is more about like

1322
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 21: what I'm doing in la or like or like love.

1323
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 21: It's gonna be much more sexual. There's a lot more

1324
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 21: going on on the second album, so I'm very excited

1325
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 21: about it.

1326
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 5: To Yeah, good to hear.

1327
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 3: I wanted to tell people the beginning.

1328
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 21: I feel like, uh, people skip steps and I don't

1329
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 21: wanna skip any So although I I was dedicated to

1330
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 21: is about how I felt from birth to maybe like

1331
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 21: in you know, early twenties. Now I'm in a whole

1332
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 21: nother place mentally, but I felt the need to make

1333
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 21: people sure people understood, like, Yo, this did not calm

1334
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 21: without this.

1335
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

1336
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 5: It's so good to hear you say that.

1337
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 9: I have a son, My youngest w oldest son is fifteen,

1338
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 9: and he wants to do music, and I have to

1339
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 9: explain to him that. I think for kids coming up

1340
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 9: now on social media, pretty much all they're seeing is

1341
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 9: like a highlight reel, and it's trying to get them

1342
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 9: to understand that, like you're seeing a very carefully curated

1343
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 9: selection of shots from a person's life, so you'll see

1344
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 9: you know, Rick, Ross, Drake, whoever on the jet, but

1345
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 9: you don't see what it took for them to get

1346
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 9: that jet, you know what I mean.

1347
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 5: So for you to hear you say that, you take

1348
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 5: people through the whole journey and not just.

1349
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 3: Yeah and still building.

1350
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 21: There's a lot of glamorizing that happens outside of the industry.

1351
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 3: How I try not to.

1352
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 21: It's not like I'm trying to deglamorize it, but I

1353
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 21: try to be a little bit more real realistic about

1354
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 21: it because I don't want to. I don't like that

1355
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 21: all kids want to be artists and all kids want

1356
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 21: to be basketball players and all kauds. When I was

1357
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 21: a kid, you know, there was various fucking professions people

1358
01:02:58,200 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 21: said about.

1359
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be a doctor, I mean a lawyer, a

1360
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 3: fucking secretary, I mean fucking president. You know what I'm saying. Now,

1361
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 3: it's like, I'm be a rapper. I'm be a trapper.

1362
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be a rapper.

1363
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 21: It's like and it's ridiculous, and it's like, so for me,

1364
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 21: I try to tell them, like, look, before you get

1365
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 21: all those tattoos on your face and think that you're

1366
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 21: just gonna come in here rap about nothing and you're

1367
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 21: gonna make it, Yeah, you might want to think about

1368
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 21: it because there's not any money and unless you're trying

1369
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 21: to like really like these rappers. I'm know how they

1370
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,439
Speaker 21: getting these changes. I guess they're getting them for freak,

1371
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 21: I don't know. But there's no freaking real money right

1372
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 21: now unless you really, really really are doing something. Now,

1373
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 21: there's a few that they pop up, and you know,

1374
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 21: you get your time, but if you're spending all your

1375
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 21: money foolishly, then you're you're getta be right back. And

1376
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 21: now and nowadays with the drugs being so heavily promoted

1377
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 21: in music. That's a big campaign I'm running now on

1378
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 21: my on my Instagram and social networks.

1379
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 3: I'm fighting lean. I hate Lean.

1380
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 21: I think it's I know it's synthetic heroin, and I

1381
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 21: know that it's being marketed in our communities and to

1382
01:03:57,840 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 21: our children via rap music. And I know it's no

1383
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 21: different that when crack was put on our corners in

1384
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 21: the eighties.

1385
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 5: No different whatsoever.

1386
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 21: Yeah, and it's so much worse than the eighties because

1387
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 21: at least in the eighties, no one knew. I mean,

1388
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 21: I guess it's the scene, but I guess crack was

1389
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 21: just so fucked By the nineties, you're like, don't do crack.

1390
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 3: It's like so obvious. But now it's like leid.

1391
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was different, Like I think in the eighties

1392
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 9: and in nineties rap we celebrated the drug dealer, which

1393
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 9: I mean had its own set of dysfunctions. Anyway, that's

1394
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 9: probably as well. We celebrate the drug dealer, but now

1395
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 9: we celebrate the drug user. And I'm like, how the

1396
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 9: fuck did we get here?

1397
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 21: I mean, even then in the eighties, if you really

1398
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 21: think about it, like the biggies and the drug rappers, right,

1399
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 21: they said in retrospective points points of view, like I

1400
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 21: used to sell this, now I'm doing that, and now

1401
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 21: I used to do it. The eve motherfucker's like I'm

1402
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 21: shooting niggas to day.

1403
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 8: Right now, right now, y'all gotta break down because I'm

1404
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:57,840

01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 9: Lean its sizeling is a synthetic, fucking uhod substance.

Speaker 21: Because I'm not gonna say what prison can do to you.

1438
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,120

Speaker 21: to you. It's like, oh, ship, I don't want to

1443
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 21: which I think he will. And not only that, but

1444
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,520

1511
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 26: how you grow up definitely plays an influence of what

1512
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 26: you're gonna do. So the fact that our dad and

1513

01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean not like forcing, but it's just like

1518
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 26: it just came to us naturally. It's what we wanted

1519
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 26: to do.

1520
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 5: So when did you guys start playing what?

1521
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 3: They?

1522
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:43,560
Speaker 24: Just I don't remember not playing, Yeah, and then we

1523
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 24: started getting lessons probably when we're like seven five.

1524

01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 24: Tony Tony Tony until like maybe around fifteen fourteen. I

1528
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 24: went to a public school and everybody.

1529
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 13: Was like, do you know where your dad is? You

1532
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,840

01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 9: I said, I have a son name name Dylan, and

1534
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,599

1535
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 9: I mean, because you know, growing up it's just dad,

1536
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 9: Like you don't really know. I think it was the

1537

1540
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 5: But you know what I'm saying. But then as you

1570
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 24: like because you you know how much work goes into it,

1571

Speaker 24: and then when it comes on the screen, it just

1572
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 24: looks like so effortless, like even though a lot of

1573
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 24: things were like timed up and like we versed out

1574

01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 3: It looks like.

1592
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 5: You're like you said, like that ship comes easy. That's

1593
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 5: just not easy. It's very mathematical and very precise and

1594
01:13:58,880 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 5: and time.

1595
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 8: But he could do it.

1596
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:03,479

01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 5: Would you say? A week? A week?

1598
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:09,040

1599
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:11,519

1761
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:18,000

01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 23: and Me and Stretches radio show actually dates back to

1763

1773
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 23: ninety three. And then so we had started on the

1774
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 23: radioho in nineteen ninety had been given love to plenty

1775
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 23: Philly artists that was like nothing brand new, I mean

1776
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 23: three times dough, yeah, I mean.

1777
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 20: All all all them.

1778
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 3: But but then I was.

1783
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:24,640
Speaker 23: and the Roots played that pre to Geffen signing. So

1784
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 23: there's a lot of organic, you know, messing of the

1785
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 23: two stretching Bob and the Roots from early early on,

1786
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:35,439

1787
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 23: Dog comes up solo, I was.

1788
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: I was going to add that that actual show, even

1789
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 1: though I physically wasn't there because Roselle was beatboxing.

1790
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 5: I was.

1791
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: I was stuck on a gospel tour, but it was

1792
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 1: it wasn't like you know, Ralph the Box of God

1793
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 1: just named Lelo Thomas. No, it wasn't that type of

1794
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 1: gospel tour like uh uh. Our bass player at Hub

1795
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: had a friend who did gospel music that basically toured

1796
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: churches like we toured nightclubs. So I just happened to

1797
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, it was like extra money, which it's one

1798
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 1: of five hundred bucks for like two weeks of work.

1799
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:28,240

Speaker 1: beat box the drums instead.

1801
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 5: And so I was in Oberland, Kansas and in the cornfields.

01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 1: So that was a church I was coming to the

1835

01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:25,719
Speaker 5: To certain people?

1852
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:29,040

1858
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 23: I mean, you know, the muscle was the brilliance of

1859
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:47,600
Speaker 23: our show. So luckily, like n of the cats in

1860
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 23: the world like so much respect for us and didn't

1861
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 23: want to cross us, you know. But there was definitely

1862
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 23: some incidences of defacing property at the station when when

1863
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 23: I was at the door and we're like, yo, I'm sorry,

Speaker 23: a mic, so you know, everyone wants to be on

1869
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,600
Speaker 23: because they knew that death could be the step to

01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:14,280

1885
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 23: the Radio to Change Lives. There's a moment in the

1886
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 23: film where we're discussing the Wou Tang moment, the wolf

1887
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 23: Tang incident where they showed up thirty deep.

1888
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 5: To I never knew she worked there. She worked there

1889
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 5: as the vibe better there. That did not like the Roots.

1890
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 5: You got to see the movie. I've seen the movie.

1891
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:25,040
Speaker 20: It's not even so so stop stop stop it.

1892
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 5: I got over it. I saw the movie. But I'm

1893
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 5: a little salty that you know.

1894
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 23: See.

1895
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 1: The thing was me and tu Rika held to show

1896
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:39,240
Speaker 1: up such a high honor that we thought that everybody

1897
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 1: that came on that show freestyle their ass off. We

1898
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 1: didn't know they were doing deep Cut album, so our

1899
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 1: standard was like, yo, we have to be as good

1900
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:52,880
Speaker 1: as so that's why would just train himself like a

1901
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 1: boxer freestyle And.

1902
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:59,479
Speaker 5: So to find out that it wasn't that that, it

1903
01:29:59,600 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 5: wasn't there.

1904
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 8: No, I just you know, that's what you had to

1905
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 8: get over to see.

1906
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:08,640
Speaker 1: For some reason, the communication was down. We you know,

1907
01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm in like every music documentary.

1908
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:14,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, and for the stretching.

1909
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,880
Speaker 20: And you you were invited. We can we can show proof.

1910
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know. Why didn't you?

1911
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 5: Why didn't you make I gave Zarah a week off.

1912
01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 5: Blame it on the assistant.

1913
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 8: That's why she's not in here right now. She ran out.

1914
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 1: Anyway, My point was that, yeah, I didn't know that

1915
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:39,599
Speaker 1: Meme Valdez actually worked out uh Uhi station.

1916
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 23: So anyway, so so going back, there's a little trick

1917
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:45,439
Speaker 23: in filmmaking that. So there's a lot of moments in

1918
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:48,519
Speaker 23: our film where we had no video footage of, including

1919
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 23: the Wu Tang moment. So we actually used footage of

1920
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:53,600
Speaker 23: the Trouble Neck brothers walking through the.

1921
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,639
Speaker 20: Entrance as the b roll.

1922
01:30:58,200 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 5: And cut that with with.

1923
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 23: Footage of the artifacts showing up to the station door

1924
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 23: and the b rope because you could just see silhouettes

1925
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 23: of people.

1926
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:11,000
Speaker 5: It's the same thing, but.

1927
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 20: Trouble Mike get to get to vote for for biggest crew.

1928
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 1: Yes, I can tested that they were large building surrounded.

1929
01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 5: I think they're still trying to do you out.

1930
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,040
Speaker 20: That brothers and artifacts in the tank scene?

1931
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:29,599
Speaker 13: I didn't yet cheating, I knew I knew was artifacts.

1932
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: I see you walking in can I interviewer question? Okay,

1933
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 2: who was the artist that came to see y'all? Who

1934
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 2: you You appreciate their presence, you respected them, But the

1935
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:40,800
Speaker 2: interview process was kind of like.

1936
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 5: Ah, it's watch be rock him?

1937
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 13: No, are you going to answer that?

1938
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 5: Really?

1939
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 13: You want to know, I'm just surprised that you would so,

1940
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:52,200
Speaker 13: mister Positive, you know, well no.

1941
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:53,679
Speaker 20: I mean the thing is that we didn't really interview.

1942
01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:57,000
Speaker 5: I mean, who was not four loquats?

1943
01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 13: Like you know, I'm saying, who is disappointed?

1944
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 20: We didn't do interviews? So we artists came up to

1945
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:03,479
Speaker 20: our show.

1946
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:05,639
Speaker 23: We had kind of like a high standard for people ramen,

1947
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:09,360
Speaker 23: so when MCS arrived, they knew that they were there

1948
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:12,760
Speaker 23: for one reason. If we wound up talking, snapping whatever,

1949
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:15,599
Speaker 23: that was great on top of that, But the main

1950
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,640
Speaker 23: thing was like, okay, yo, the mic is open. You know,

1951
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:22,560
Speaker 23: kick your verse and and and stretch, would you know

1952
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 23: be doing the beats and everything?

1953
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 13: So there's nobody that we really were excited about. Let

1954
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 13: us down. Really, I mean, there were you know, there

1955
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 13: were people that don't even remember. You have a Doctor

1956
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 13: Dre story, Doctor j did he was there. Yeah, he

1957
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:41,400
Speaker 13: can't keep him up. That was that was lackluster when

1958
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 13: he didn't really this is probably ninety five right, It was.

1959
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 5: So he can't kill us.

1960
01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 13: Steve Rifkin brought him up right, and you know, Drey

1961
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,599
Speaker 13: even then was larger than life, right, and the post

1962
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:01,719
Speaker 13: w a chronic like that Doctor Dre And he didn't

1963
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 13: really know what he was doing there. Somehow Steve, I guess,

1964
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:06,680
Speaker 13: convinced him to come up and he kind of was

1965
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 13: just looking around like what is this did I don't

1966
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:12,880
Speaker 13: think he really knew. I don't think he you know,

1967
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,640
Speaker 13: he just he always you know, just he just circumvented

1968
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 13: the underground. You know, he didn't really he really did,

1969
01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:20,719
Speaker 13: and he was he was kind of stuff.

1970
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:22,960
Speaker 20: Yeah, he didn't. He didn't really joke around with us.

1971
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:24,760
Speaker 5: It's like when D'Angelo showed up to our show.

1972
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:37,559
Speaker 1: No seriously, he said he said three words and went

1973
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 1: out for a cigarette break and then.

1974
01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 5: Lost bet.

1975
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so episode one, I promised them two thousand dollars

1976
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:51,000

01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:33,639
Speaker 13: completely got what was going on and was and sat

1996
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:43,360
Speaker 13: to snap on him on the phone and he was

1997
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 13: telling people to sit down.

2168
01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:51,280
Speaker 23: was a Latin jazz musician and my mom was just

2169
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:55,040
Speaker 23: heavy into all the great vocalists of the fifties and sixties.

2170
01:43:55,120 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 23: So you know, I'm born in sixty six, study piano

Speaker 23: for ten years, uh, played drums, played drums in college.

2172
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:05,799
Speaker 13: I'm just thinking about the movie where a lot of people.

2173
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:08,720
Speaker 20: Don't know that I was horrible, show a photo of

2174
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:14,080
Speaker 20: me playing, and you know, it's just music is music.

2175
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 5: You know.

2176
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,200
Speaker 23: We got known around the world for hip hop, but

2177
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:19,320
Speaker 23: even during the nineties when we were breaking nas and

2178
01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 23: Biggie and Wu Tang and you know all the you

2179
01:44:22,479 --> 01:44:26,720
Speaker 23: know at the crib, we were just listening to, you know, everything,

2180
01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:30,559
Speaker 23: Probably like in any era of my life, I probably

2181
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 23: have always listened to hip hop the least of any genre.

2182
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 23: But that's not you know, in the nineties, that's not

2183
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:37,200
Speaker 23: what we were known for. But if you read my

2184
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:40,560
Speaker 23: Vibe magazine con that's where all the other love for

2185
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 23: you know, other music came spilled out and people like,

2186
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 23: oh wow, you know, and then when.

2187
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:47,760
Speaker 5: People yes, that's our version of.

2188
01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:54,120
Speaker 20: Stretch, I mean, you know, he's a I mean, he

2189
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:55,000
Speaker 20: can speak for himself.

2190
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:56,800
Speaker 13: Well, I mean I grew up in the house with

2191
01:44:57,200 --> 01:45:00,040
Speaker 13: a father that was like a classical music nut, and

2192
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:05,639
Speaker 13: I was just not feeling it at all. He played violin,

2193
01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:07,720
Speaker 13: he made violins, but he did a lot of he

2194
01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:10,200
Speaker 13: he played semi pro basketball. He's a pro tennis player,

2195
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:12,800
Speaker 13: like a unique renaissance man. But wait, but your uncle

2196
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 13: was a uncle was a conductor. But I have another,

2197
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 13: uh second cousin, Mike Lipskin, who's like an incredible jazz pianist.

2198
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:21,679
Speaker 13: So music's in the blood. But just in New York,

2199
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:23,760
Speaker 13: I had a older sister that was into disco, and

2200
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 13: but I had parents that were just super liberal and

2201
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:30,680
Speaker 13: open like whatever. Like I mean, they dropped me off

2202
01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:32,680
Speaker 13: at the pier when I was like I couldn't have

2203
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 13: been more than thirteen years old to go see the

2204
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 13: clash and and uh, Curtis blow open for them, and

2205
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:43,240
Speaker 13: I'm like thirteen, like completely, and I look back now

2206
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 13: and I actually I've seen pictures of that show and

2207
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:48,800
Speaker 13: the type of people that were hanging out outside, and

2208
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:52,519
Speaker 13: I'm wondering, were my parents good parents to drop me

2209
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:55,400
Speaker 13: off there? Because it was it was bananas, But I mean,

2210
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:57,800
Speaker 13: I'm lucky that that they were like that. But I

2211
01:45:57,880 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 13: look back and I got a question like where my

2212
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:05,280
Speaker 13: parents saying yeah, but definitely having an older sister that

2213
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 13: you know, she became like a she became a punk skinhead,

2214
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:10,600
Speaker 13: so like she was bringing reggae reggae records home and

2215
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 13: that's all I did. The trickle down, yeah, because she

2216
01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:14,840
Speaker 13: was she was only a year and a half older,

2217
01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:17,120
Speaker 13: but as a as a female, she matured a lot

2218
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 13: faster and she was wilding out, going to clubs and

2219
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 13: coming home like she was hanging out with the Beastie

2220
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 13: Boys Rick Rubin, like, and I'm just like soaking it all,

2221
01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:27,680
Speaker 13: trying to get out of the house so I can

2222
01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:29,760
Speaker 13: just get downtown and be in that.

2223
01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that post, uh, the post the

2224
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:41,000

2226
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:52,080

2227
01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: of rules that I didn't know I guess, the idea

2228

2267
01:48:55,680 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 9: that I look for in an MC. When I'm listening

2268
01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:00,840
Speaker 9: to an MC, I'm looking for wordplay. I'm looking for

2269
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:06,120
Speaker 9: a command of the microphone. You know, you want charisma,

2270
01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:09,160
Speaker 9: you want some engagement, and you want a cat that

2271
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:13,120
Speaker 9: really sounds like he's living what he's talking about you

2272
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:15,240
Speaker 9: want a guy that walks it like he talks it.

2273
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 9: And uh, this young brother certainly sympathies all those things

2274
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:22,920
Speaker 9: lazy and gentlemen. And he's a and he like has

2275
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:26,080
Speaker 9: his hands on a lot of super entrepreneur entrepreneurial like

Speaker 22: We did the joint the two day, the first time

2308
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:44,600
Speaker 22: they tried to do the two day joint, and I

2309
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:46,840
Speaker 22: went on right before rock Cam and it was like

2310
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:51,360
Speaker 22: a hurricane, like legit, like the craziest torrential downpour you

2311
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 22: have ever seen.

2312
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 4: And I was performing. That's when we had the tent.

2313
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:57,800
Speaker 22: Everybody flooded into the tent because of the rain, and

2314
01:50:57,880 --> 01:51:00,160
Speaker 22: you know, escaped the rain. So I went from at

2315
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:02,720
Speaker 22: that point, which was a crowd of like let's say

2316
01:51:02,760 --> 01:51:05,720
Speaker 22: like two thousand, to like five like that quick in

2317
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:08,280
Speaker 22: the middle of my set, and I'm just looking like, yo,

2318
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:10,400
Speaker 22: this is crazy. Like bill Board wrote about me and

2319
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:13,080
Speaker 22: hot as hell that tips really hot. But Billboard magazine

2320
01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:14,680
Speaker 22: wrote about and I'm like, I'm not. I wasn't even

2321
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:15,400
Speaker 22: selling music at that.

2322
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 5: Point that when the tent flooded.

2323
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:19,080
Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know. That's the Daylight year.

2324
01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:21,920
Speaker 22: No, that was the the year Kid Cuddy didn't come.

2325
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:25,559
Speaker 22: The two day train with Rock him and Kid Cuddy.

2326
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:28,120

2327
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:30,640

2371
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:31,680

2372
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:33,400
Speaker 22: teaching me about you know, so I learned a lot

2373
01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 22: about beer too. So like I really like got into

2374
01:53:36,240 --> 01:53:38,240
Speaker 22: it and got heavy into the Philly beerson We got

2375
01:53:38,280 --> 01:53:39,600
Speaker 22: like a crazy bear scene in Philly right now.

2376
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:40,840
Speaker 5: Made you want to get into that.

2377
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 22: I mean, beer is good, really good, it's lucrative, is

2378
01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:48,839
Speaker 22: moving right now in the city. And I had hosted

2379
01:53:49,280 --> 01:53:51,640
Speaker 22: a couple events for Philly beers scene. I did the

2380
01:53:52,880 --> 01:53:55,160
Speaker 22: presented award the Philly Beers Scene Awards, and they have

2381
01:53:55,240 --> 01:53:58,639
Speaker 22: a band of brewers or Battle with Brewers where every

2382
01:53:58,800 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 22: brewery somehow when it's city for some reason, all these

2383
01:54:01,120 --> 01:54:03,560
Speaker 22: guys play music and so they do a Battle of

2384
01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:05,599
Speaker 22: the bands, but you have to work at the brewery.

2385
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:08,040
Speaker 3: And they did that.

2386
01:54:08,200 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was crazy. They did a World Cafe live

2387
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:10,639
Speaker 4: and it was popping.

2388
01:54:10,680 --> 01:54:14,679
Speaker 22: So I hosted that and like every after every band performed,

2389
01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:16,360
Speaker 22: I brought a couch onto the stage and I said,

2390
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:18,320
Speaker 22: and I interviewed you know the band, what do you.

2391
01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:19,599
Speaker 5: Think about your performance? Whatever? Whatever?

2392
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:21,040
Speaker 4: What beers y'all got coming up whateverever.

2393
01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 22: So doing more stuff with with the beers scene, I

2394
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:25,360
Speaker 22: kept getting into it, and I'm like looking around, like

2395
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:28,880
Speaker 22: hip hop's not here, like there's no hip hop here.

2396
01:54:30,200 --> 01:54:32,000
Speaker 22: It's not a bunch of brown in the room either,

2397
01:54:32,080 --> 01:54:34,160
Speaker 22: but it's really like no hip hop. I'm like, all right,

2398
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:36,880
Speaker 22: I'm all about putting hip hop and places that it

2399
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:39,520
Speaker 22: hasn't been. Like I'm the first artist to perform at

2400
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:41,560
Speaker 22: City Hall, first hip hop artists perform at City Hall

2401
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:43,720
Speaker 22: in Philly. It's been a couple since then, But I

2402
01:54:43,760 --> 01:54:46,000
Speaker 22: can honestly say I opened the door for that to happen.

2403
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:47,800
Speaker 22: Like my mom is hyped that I can be able

2404
01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:51,240
Speaker 22: to say shit like that, stuff like that, but I

2405
01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:51,760
Speaker 22: can say it, but.

2406
01:54:51,800 --> 01:54:55,800
Speaker 4: I can't say ship and my mom. I was apologizing

2407
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:59,440
Speaker 4: to my mom. But yeah, so I forgot your question and.

2408
01:55:01,080 --> 01:55:06,480
Speaker 5: Your taste good. That was a very simple answer. Tastes

2409
01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:07,880
Speaker 5: good and that and that's good.

2410
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:12,760
Speaker 9: To damn all right, keep it simple. Hell, don't don't

2411
01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 9: make it calculus when it's arithmetic is good. Don't make

2412
01:55:21,560 --> 01:55:23,000
Speaker 9: it calculus when it's arithmetic.

2413
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:27,680
Speaker 5: Is that it original? That's original? You know, I have

2414
01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:31,680
Speaker 5: every now and again, I get it right every now

2415
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 5: and so.

2416
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:36,480
Speaker 9: Uh So, talking about in terms of coming up in

2417
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:41,320
Speaker 9: Philly just as a as an outsider, uh you know,

2418
01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:44,760
Speaker 9: coming up in the South, I didn't really get into

2419
01:55:44,840 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 9: the geography of rappers until I really, you know, kind

2420
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 9: of started rapping myself. So to me, everybody's from New York,

Speaker 5: the dialect, it's just something.

2762
02:11:00,960 --> 02:11:02,800
Speaker 30: It's the accent really, that's that's.

2765
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:09,320
Speaker 9: get in the way of me understanding what you got

2766
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:11,320
Speaker 9: to say. A lot of times it's just the I

2767
02:11:11,360 --> 02:11:14,360
Speaker 9: guess most of the dialect is how you just will

2768
02:11:14,440 --> 02:11:17,640
Speaker 9: have certain terms from words that we just you know,

2769
02:11:17,760 --> 02:11:20,800
Speaker 9: we just don't use or even like the way. Another

2770
02:11:20,880 --> 02:11:22,880
Speaker 9: one of my favorite singers from you came my man

2771
02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:27,240
Speaker 9: Doring It, who is incredible. He does the same thing

2772
02:11:27,280 --> 02:11:29,960
Speaker 9: I noticed you do will you guys use f's for

2773
02:11:30,160 --> 02:11:32,960
Speaker 9: th h. So it's the I don't even know if

2774
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:34,960
Speaker 9: he knows it. But like you don't say think you say, think?

2775
02:11:35,760 --> 02:11:38,160
Speaker 30: Yeah, I say, think you said.

2776
02:11:38,080 --> 02:11:43,720
Speaker 5: You said or was it she didn't say the F? No,

2777
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:46,280
Speaker 5: she said think she said think she did something with

2778
02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:46,560
Speaker 5: the F.

2779
02:11:46,640 --> 02:11:47,160
Speaker 3: She said that.

2780
02:11:47,320 --> 02:11:49,200
Speaker 31: You know what it is is because I'm actually from

2781
02:11:49,280 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 31: Birmingham and maybe he's from London. Because London accent and

2782
02:11:53,800 --> 02:11:56,560
Speaker 31: sound and dialect is completely different to anyone from up

2783
02:11:56,680 --> 02:11:59,160
Speaker 31: north in the UK. We have like a lot of

2784
02:11:59,240 --> 02:12:02,440
Speaker 31: melody and a you know what I mean, and they're

2785
02:12:02,600 --> 02:12:04,440
Speaker 31: very monotone London.

2786
02:12:05,640 --> 02:12:08,120
Speaker 5: Do you think that comes from like there's that, like

2787
02:12:08,640 --> 02:12:11,040
Speaker 5: the kind of Caribbean influence.

2788
02:12:11,360 --> 02:12:11,760
Speaker 24: No, I don't.

2789
02:12:11,800 --> 02:12:12,640
Speaker 30: I don't think it's that.

2790
02:12:12,760 --> 02:12:14,840
Speaker 31: I think I think it's just basically, you know, you

2791
02:12:14,960 --> 02:12:19,360
Speaker 31: have Birmingham, not in Manchester. They're north and they have

2792
02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:23,800
Speaker 31: a different sound, a different vibe and energy to Londoners.

2793
02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:27,600
Speaker 31: Londoners they just laugh at us when we speak, you know,

2794
02:12:27,680 --> 02:12:30,880
Speaker 31: because it sounds like we're singing that they say we're

2795
02:12:30,920 --> 02:12:34,960
Speaker 31: singing basically when we're talking. And yeah, some things they

2796
02:12:35,040 --> 02:12:36,600
Speaker 31: say that we don't say in something.

2797
02:12:36,800 --> 02:12:37,480
Speaker 30: So they say.

2798
02:12:37,440 --> 02:12:42,480
Speaker 31: Glass past fast. We say glass past fast. Is there

2799
02:12:42,640 --> 02:12:46,600
Speaker 31: in fast and past? You know it's it's glass. It's

2800
02:12:46,640 --> 02:12:49,560
Speaker 31: not glass, it's glass. So that's what we do, that's

2801
02:12:49,560 --> 02:12:51,920
Speaker 31: what we say. We pronounce things properly. What London is,

2802
02:12:52,040 --> 02:12:54,480
Speaker 31: you know, they always win because the biggest.

2803
02:12:54,160 --> 02:13:00,440
Speaker 9: City, you know, that's where ours comes from. The RS

2804
02:13:00,680 --> 02:13:08,400
Speaker 9: that's yeah, that's extra, so many extra fucking continents, good father.

2805
02:13:08,560 --> 02:13:08,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2806
02:13:09,960 --> 02:13:15,280
Speaker 9: So, so in doing your performance today, do you notice

2807
02:13:15,320 --> 02:13:20,040
Speaker 9: the difference between performing for crowds in London versus here

2808
02:13:20,280 --> 02:13:22,920
Speaker 9: or are there any adjustments you have to make?

2809
02:13:23,560 --> 02:13:26,480
Speaker 5: Uh in performing in the U in the US?

2810
02:13:26,720 --> 02:13:31,160
Speaker 31: Yeah, I feel like in the UK they get it

2811
02:13:31,240 --> 02:13:34,320
Speaker 31: straight away because the music I make is grime, and

2812
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:37,600
Speaker 31: that's straight from the UK. That's gritted. That's that's us,

2813
02:13:37,720 --> 02:13:40,280
Speaker 31: that's what we've created. And when you try to take

2814
02:13:40,400 --> 02:13:42,960
Speaker 31: another jumble of music that people might not have heard

2815
02:13:43,000 --> 02:13:46,560
Speaker 31: of to another another state, another area, they might not

2816
02:13:46,680 --> 02:13:49,160
Speaker 31: take to it as well as the original place it

2817
02:13:49,360 --> 02:13:53,840
Speaker 31: was created in. So in America, I mean, I'm not

2818
02:13:53,960 --> 02:13:56,920
Speaker 31: gonna lie. I think it's incredible when they actually when

2819
02:13:56,920 --> 02:13:59,600
Speaker 31: they're nodding their head and they're listening and they're vibes

2820
02:13:59,640 --> 02:14:02,440
Speaker 31: into the music because it's it's UK music, you know,

2821
02:14:02,560 --> 02:14:05,240
Speaker 31: and I respect that. But at the same time, what

2822
02:14:05,360 --> 02:14:07,560
Speaker 31: I try to do whenever I come and do is

2823
02:14:07,640 --> 02:14:11,840
Speaker 31: showing America. Is I try to merge American beat or

2824
02:14:11,880 --> 02:14:14,440
Speaker 31: I try to connect with the crowd by you know,

2825
02:14:14,720 --> 02:14:17,280
Speaker 31: today I play Biggie you know that's it's New York

2826
02:14:17,320 --> 02:14:18,400
Speaker 31: and I got New York on.

2827
02:14:18,800 --> 02:14:20,400
Speaker 30: But I wear these all the time.

2828
02:14:20,440 --> 02:14:21,480
Speaker 3: This isn't just I.

2829
02:14:23,400 --> 02:14:26,760
Speaker 31: Just didn't fake it today, But yeah, man, I tried

2830
02:14:26,800 --> 02:14:28,720
Speaker 31: to connect with the crowd as much as possible and

2831
02:14:29,480 --> 02:14:32,560
Speaker 31: and yeah, and try to show them that I'm British

2832
02:14:32,680 --> 02:14:35,240
Speaker 31: as well as being able to understand and relate to

2833
02:14:35,320 --> 02:14:35,880
Speaker 31: them as well.

2834
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:39,480
Speaker 30: So it goes, it goes down of it, it depends.

2835
02:14:39,520 --> 02:14:41,920
Speaker 2: Actually, the Americans are kind of assholes when it comes

2836
02:14:41,960 --> 02:14:44,800
Speaker 2: to like listening, like music, appreciating music. I felt like

2837
02:14:44,840 --> 02:14:47,320
Speaker 2: that when it comes to America comparing them to the UK. Yes,

2838
02:14:47,360 --> 02:14:49,280
Speaker 2: I feel like you guys are way more open minded

2839
02:14:49,560 --> 02:14:50,200
Speaker 2: and accepting.

2840
02:14:50,320 --> 02:14:53,680
Speaker 8: That's why a lot of groups wilsta Europe. But that's

2841
02:14:53,720 --> 02:14:55,880
Speaker 8: why a lot of groups here like he I think.

2842
02:14:55,800 --> 02:14:57,000
Speaker 2: Of the Roots, you know what I mean, Like the

2843
02:14:57,160 --> 02:14:59,960
Speaker 2: Roots were touring three hundred days a year, in Europe.

2844
02:15:00,120 --> 02:15:01,560
Speaker 8: Up, they can do that here.

2845
02:15:01,720 --> 02:15:03,480
Speaker 5: Let me used to be I think that used to

2846
02:15:03,520 --> 02:15:04,000
Speaker 5: be the case.

2847
02:15:04,080 --> 02:15:06,840
Speaker 9: I think more so now I think the Internet is

2848
02:15:06,920 --> 02:15:08,800
Speaker 9: kind of the great equalizer, you know what I'm saying. Like,

2849
02:15:08,880 --> 02:15:11,120
Speaker 9: I think back in the day, like maybe tweeny years

2850
02:15:11,120 --> 02:15:14,480
Speaker 9: ago or so or whatever, like the UK and like

2851
02:15:14,560 --> 02:15:16,760
Speaker 9: Europe was kind of seen as the Promised Land. So

2852
02:15:16,880 --> 02:15:19,400
Speaker 9: it's like, if you were fucking bricking over here, you

2853
02:15:19,480 --> 02:15:21,280
Speaker 9: could go to Europe and you could be the guy

2854
02:15:21,480 --> 02:15:24,080
Speaker 9: right now. If you're bricking here, you're fucking bricking everywhere,

2855
02:15:24,320 --> 02:15:25,720
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying, Like, no one.

2856
02:15:25,800 --> 02:15:28,280
Speaker 5: Like the jig is up because you're just a Google

2857
02:15:28,320 --> 02:15:28,880
Speaker 5: search away.

2858
02:15:29,240 --> 02:15:34,400
Speaker 9: And if you're whacking New York, you're whacking London, Birmingham, Manchester, England, England, everywhere.

2859
02:15:34,400 --> 02:15:36,840
Speaker 9: I don't nobody want to hear that shit. So it's

2860
02:15:37,240 --> 02:15:40,120
Speaker 9: not I don't think that's the case anymore. In terms

2861
02:15:40,160 --> 02:15:43,840
Speaker 9: of your music, how did you get started and what

2862
02:15:44,040 --> 02:15:45,720
Speaker 9: were some of your earliest recordings?

2863
02:15:45,760 --> 02:15:46,120
Speaker 5: What were they?

2864
02:15:46,240 --> 02:15:46,280
Speaker 1: Like?

2865
02:15:46,680 --> 02:15:48,400
Speaker 31: Okay, so I wrote my first le Week when I

2866
02:15:48,480 --> 02:15:49,240
Speaker 31: was six years.

2867
02:15:49,080 --> 02:15:52,000
Speaker 5: Old, and that was just like a lot of young writers.

2868
02:15:53,040 --> 02:15:57,000
Speaker 31: Six eight A voicemail for my mom on that phone,

2869
02:15:57,120 --> 02:15:59,840
Speaker 31: so whenever anyone would phone, it would go straight to

2870
02:16:00,280 --> 02:16:04,240
Speaker 31: and that was over a reggae track sister Nancy Bamba. Yeah,

2871
02:16:04,440 --> 02:16:06,400
Speaker 31: So everywhere I go, I have to perform that. I

2872
02:16:06,440 --> 02:16:09,040
Speaker 31: don't care if people don't even know about it or reggae.

2873
02:16:09,120 --> 02:16:12,040
Speaker 31: That's something I have to do for myself. And then

2874
02:16:12,600 --> 02:16:15,240
Speaker 31: at the age of twelve, I discovered Eminem and I

2875
02:16:15,400 --> 02:16:17,600
Speaker 31: was just totally in love with him, and I knew

2876
02:16:17,760 --> 02:16:19,720
Speaker 31: from that point I wanted to be a rapper. There

2877
02:16:19,840 --> 02:16:22,320
Speaker 31: was nothing else for me. Like you know when you

2878
02:16:22,480 --> 02:16:25,360
Speaker 31: just feel like you know you're certain of something, I

2879
02:16:25,440 --> 02:16:27,800
Speaker 31: knew that I didn't want to do anything but rap.

2880
02:16:28,360 --> 02:16:31,160
Speaker 31: So from the age of twelve to fourteen, I learned

2881
02:16:31,200 --> 02:16:35,039
Speaker 31: how to mix and master my own stuff, produce, DJ rap,

2882
02:16:35,240 --> 02:16:38,560
Speaker 31: sing at dance. I was trying to do everything, you

2883
02:16:38,640 --> 02:16:40,440
Speaker 31: know what I mean, and at a young age, and

2884
02:16:40,959 --> 02:16:44,280
Speaker 31: I had the experience, you know, to be who I

2885
02:16:44,360 --> 02:16:46,720
Speaker 31: am now, you know, and to perfect on my craft.

2886
02:16:47,320 --> 02:16:50,480
Speaker 31: So I've been working for so long. I had my

2887
02:16:50,560 --> 02:16:54,320
Speaker 31: first show when I was fifteen. And because I'm Caribbean

2888
02:16:54,440 --> 02:16:57,320
Speaker 31: and I watch a lot of like dance hall shows

2889
02:16:57,400 --> 02:16:57,840
Speaker 31: and stuff.

2890
02:16:57,920 --> 02:17:01,120
Speaker 30: The way they they've got the crowd put the flag

2891
02:17:01,160 --> 02:17:03,200
Speaker 30: in the air, all that stuff.

2892
02:17:03,520 --> 02:17:05,920
Speaker 31: I learned that from early, so I'm not I'm not

2893
02:17:06,200 --> 02:17:08,920
Speaker 31: scared to to put myself out there when I'm on

2894
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:11,120
Speaker 31: the stage. Even if the crowd doesn't react to me,

2895
02:17:11,280 --> 02:17:13,560
Speaker 31: I don't care because I'm in my zone and I've

2896
02:17:13,640 --> 02:17:14,400
Speaker 31: learned from the best.

2897
02:17:14,480 --> 02:17:16,039
Speaker 13: You know, So, who are your teachers?

2898
02:17:17,160 --> 02:17:22,200
Speaker 31: Eminem, Lil Wayne, He's just He's one of my biggest teachers,

2899
02:17:22,800 --> 02:17:25,680
Speaker 31: A little bit of Missy Elliott as far as just

2900
02:17:25,760 --> 02:17:28,120
Speaker 31: having fun and not came what people think. And the

2901
02:17:28,240 --> 02:17:32,520
Speaker 31: crazy visuals, Buster Rymes saying with the visuals, Ludacris with

2902
02:17:32,600 --> 02:17:36,039
Speaker 31: the visuals and the flow. But there's a few UK

2903
02:17:36,200 --> 02:17:40,840
Speaker 31: artists I used to listen to as well. So there's Cano.

2904
02:17:41,000 --> 02:17:42,200
Speaker 31: I don't know if you've heard a Cano.

2905
02:17:43,320 --> 02:17:44,200
Speaker 5: Was he so solid?

2906
02:17:45,160 --> 02:17:45,200
Speaker 2: No?

2907
02:17:45,520 --> 02:17:48,440
Speaker 31: No, he wasn't so solid. Crue He he was in

2908
02:17:48,959 --> 02:17:52,000
Speaker 31: a crew called the Movement. But then they were all

2909
02:17:52,080 --> 02:17:55,000
Speaker 31: doing their saying that their their own thing. So there

2910
02:17:55,080 --> 02:17:58,040
Speaker 31: was scorch Air, Cano, Ghetto and Deviling in this crew

2911
02:17:58,480 --> 02:18:01,080
Speaker 31: and Ghetto is like he so amazing. I think he

2912
02:18:01,120 --> 02:18:03,959
Speaker 31: would do great here. I think the UK don't get him.

2913
02:18:04,000 --> 02:18:07,959
Speaker 31: He's so he's like Eminem, like he's so articulate, he's

2914
02:18:08,480 --> 02:18:10,879
Speaker 31: crazy with the flow, and because of that, I don't

2915
02:18:10,920 --> 02:18:13,240
Speaker 31: think the UK get him, and I think he'd be

2916
02:18:13,480 --> 02:18:15,800
Speaker 31: amazing here, like people would respect him on here. But

2917
02:18:16,120 --> 02:18:19,800
Speaker 31: Gets was a big part of my career, like as

2918
02:18:19,840 --> 02:18:23,640
Speaker 31: far as like flow and technique and content and syllables

2919
02:18:23,640 --> 02:18:24,880
Speaker 31: and trying to hit every pocket.

2920
02:18:25,520 --> 02:18:26,280
Speaker 30: He was that guy.

2921
02:18:27,280 --> 02:18:30,440
Speaker 9: In terms of listening being in the UK and hearing

2922
02:18:30,560 --> 02:18:35,520
Speaker 9: American music, were there some parts of our music that

2923
02:18:36,200 --> 02:18:38,600
Speaker 9: just did not translate over there? Or were there some

2924
02:18:38,800 --> 02:18:42,280
Speaker 9: parts that culturally it was kind of like, Okay, I

2925
02:18:42,560 --> 02:18:44,720
Speaker 9: like the music, but what exactly are they talking about?

2926
02:18:44,879 --> 02:18:45,280
Speaker 24: Not at all.

2927
02:18:45,440 --> 02:18:49,440
Speaker 31: I think for a very long time England and UK

2928
02:18:49,760 --> 02:18:55,560
Speaker 31: have worshiped American music. We've even me growing up, I thought,

2929
02:18:55,640 --> 02:18:57,520
Speaker 31: you know, to be a rapper, you had to be American.

2930
02:18:57,959 --> 02:18:59,600
Speaker 31: So when I was younger, I was speaking in an

2931
02:18:59,600 --> 02:19:02,560
Speaker 31: American accent because I just thought that was it that

2932
02:19:02,879 --> 02:19:05,000
Speaker 31: you know, I'm not going to make it with a

2933
02:19:05,040 --> 02:19:08,320
Speaker 31: British accent, especially from Birmingham, that's a completely different accent.

2934
02:19:08,720 --> 02:19:12,280
Speaker 5: What does you rap like in an American accent? Like

2935
02:19:12,320 --> 02:19:12,960
Speaker 5: what does that sound like?

2936
02:19:13,040 --> 02:19:13,160
Speaker 2: Or not?

2937
02:19:14,520 --> 02:19:16,480
Speaker 5: Just like talk an American accent? What does that sound like,

2938
02:19:16,520 --> 02:19:16,760
Speaker 5: Oh my.

2939
02:19:16,879 --> 02:19:26,720
Speaker 30: Gosh, got bars Son. You know, I really do this.

2940
02:19:27,760 --> 02:19:30,120
Speaker 31: I don't know what this accent is from. I don't

2941
02:19:30,160 --> 02:19:33,640
Speaker 31: know what city, what area, New York. Okay, I got

2942
02:19:33,720 --> 02:19:35,920
Speaker 31: the New Era on the New York you know, we

2943
02:19:36,080 --> 02:19:36,400
Speaker 31: got this.

2944
02:19:37,879 --> 02:19:40,080
Speaker 4: I'm in sad with pandormic.

2945
02:19:42,080 --> 02:19:44,160
Speaker 31: Seriously, like literally, I do this so with this time,

2946
02:19:44,320 --> 02:19:47,000
Speaker 31: like when I'm on Snatchat, I always do the American access.

2947
02:19:47,040 --> 02:19:49,520
Speaker 30: So I love it. I actually love America, like I

2948
02:19:49,640 --> 02:19:50,120
Speaker 30: just think, you.

2949
02:19:50,520 --> 02:19:53,600
Speaker 31: Guys, at the time, at the time when I started

2950
02:19:53,680 --> 02:19:55,760
Speaker 31: rapping and stuff, I thought that was the only way

2951
02:19:55,879 --> 02:19:58,959
Speaker 31: to make it. But I think after like a decade,

2952
02:19:59,560 --> 02:20:01,960
Speaker 31: things of change now and and a lot of the

2953
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:04,760
Speaker 31: American artists are looking at the UK and it's it's

2954
02:20:04,840 --> 02:20:08,440
Speaker 31: refreshing to see that there they're finally reaching out to us.

2955
02:20:08,520 --> 02:20:10,520
Speaker 31: Like Chris Brown has worked with a few UK artists,

2956
02:20:10,640 --> 02:20:12,080
Speaker 31: Draker's co signed a few.

2957
02:20:12,000 --> 02:20:14,080
Speaker 5: UK arts usually like Stic.

2958
02:20:16,520 --> 02:20:17,680
Speaker 30: Yeah, and hence Skeptic has.

2959
02:20:17,600 --> 02:20:19,920
Speaker 31: Been doing it for so long, you know, and it's

2960
02:20:20,040 --> 02:20:22,800
Speaker 31: just good to see that finally, something that the UK

2961
02:20:22,920 --> 02:20:25,920
Speaker 31: has created, which is grime, it's finally getting seen on

2962
02:20:26,720 --> 02:20:27,800
Speaker 31: really big platforms.

2963
02:20:28,040 --> 02:20:29,039
Speaker 8: Can you break that down.

2964
02:20:31,120 --> 02:20:34,560
Speaker 5: Grime is like over there, grime.

2965
02:20:34,480 --> 02:20:37,640
Speaker 31: Is one forty b pm, so it's quite fast. It's like,

2966
02:20:39,320 --> 02:20:41,920
Speaker 31: it's quite fast. It's a slower than drum and bass.

2967
02:20:41,959 --> 02:20:45,240
Speaker 31: I don't know if you've heard. It's slower than drum

2968
02:20:45,360 --> 02:20:49,240
Speaker 31: and bass. But it's very it's very it's very raw,

2969
02:20:49,360 --> 02:20:52,960
Speaker 31: it's street, it's it's just us, you know. It's you

2970
02:20:53,320 --> 02:20:55,240
Speaker 31: can tell a grime beat from a hip hop beat.

2971
02:20:55,240 --> 02:20:57,640
Speaker 31: And whenever an American artist goes on a grind beat,

2972
02:20:57,879 --> 02:21:00,240
Speaker 31: they always hit it in a different way to a

2973
02:21:00,360 --> 02:21:01,080
Speaker 31: grime EMC.

2974
02:21:01,680 --> 02:21:03,000
Speaker 30: You know, we're hitting with.

2975
02:21:03,040 --> 02:21:08,560
Speaker 31: The speed flows like, and then American artists would be like,

2976
02:21:10,640 --> 02:21:13,680
Speaker 31: you know what I mean, So we have we have that,

2977
02:21:13,879 --> 02:21:15,560
Speaker 31: we have our own sound, you know what I mean,

2978
02:21:15,560 --> 02:21:19,160
Speaker 31: and we hit it. It's very aggressive, it's very hard hitting,

2979
02:21:19,280 --> 02:21:22,680
Speaker 31: it's powerful, it's energic, SOMNISSI man, it's it's.

2980
02:21:22,680 --> 02:21:25,080
Speaker 8: It's we haven't tried to steal it from you yet.

2981
02:21:27,000 --> 02:21:27,440
Speaker 10: Come over and.

2982
02:21:30,400 --> 02:21:32,840
Speaker 5: A couple of years, don't speak.

2983
02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:35,080
Speaker 8: So after they leave the count in Africa, they'll be back.

2984
02:21:36,760 --> 02:21:40,200
Speaker 9: In terms of like, because I also saw that you're

2985
02:21:40,200 --> 02:21:43,640
Speaker 9: a singer as well, like you sing as well well.

2986
02:21:43,879 --> 02:21:50,640
Speaker 31: I tried to sing I'm not singer. Let's swiftly move on, singer, guys,

2987
02:21:50,840 --> 02:21:53,119
Speaker 31: I actually not that. I just know how I used

2988
02:21:53,120 --> 02:21:56,120
Speaker 31: to up in a church, like I used to be

2989
02:21:56,320 --> 02:21:58,800
Speaker 31: in choirs and stuff like that, So I know about

2990
02:21:58,879 --> 02:22:01,800
Speaker 31: melodies and about harmonies and stuff like that.

2991
02:22:02,200 --> 02:22:02,440
Speaker 13: But I.

2992
02:22:08,120 --> 02:22:10,160
Speaker 31: Think she, I think she can actually sing with me.

2993
02:22:10,280 --> 02:22:11,720
Speaker 31: I need I need a lot of work. I need

2994
02:22:11,760 --> 02:22:13,200
Speaker 31: a lot of melody, and I need a lot of

2995
02:22:13,280 --> 02:22:17,160
Speaker 31: auto tune. I need a lot of that because I know,

2996
02:22:17,640 --> 02:22:21,000
Speaker 31: I know I can't hit those notes that Maria carry hitch,

2997
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:21,520
Speaker 31: you know what I mean.

2998
02:22:21,640 --> 02:22:24,480
Speaker 30: So I saw her. But I performed at New Orleans

2999
02:22:24,600 --> 02:22:25,640
Speaker 30: Essence Festival.

3000
02:22:27,640 --> 02:22:30,840
Speaker 5: Because that's a very black experience. Okay, that was very

3001
02:22:30,920 --> 02:22:31,720
Speaker 5: African American.

3002
02:22:32,360 --> 02:22:36,280
Speaker 2: That is specifically it's put on by Essence magazine, Black

3003
02:22:36,320 --> 02:22:37,240
Speaker 2: women's magazine.

3004
02:22:37,360 --> 02:22:42,920
Speaker 31: Just you know what I feel like, Because I'm British,

3005
02:22:43,120 --> 02:22:46,320
Speaker 31: they straight away that just they're lucked in because they

3006
02:22:46,400 --> 02:22:49,400
Speaker 31: hear a different accent. It's refreshing for them, it's unique,

3007
02:22:49,520 --> 02:22:52,520
Speaker 31: it's new. So I didn't really have to do so

3008
02:22:52,680 --> 02:22:55,960
Speaker 31: much to win the crowd over there was just like wow,

3009
02:22:56,160 --> 02:22:57,800
Speaker 31: you know is it?

3010
02:23:04,560 --> 02:23:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

3011
02:23:04,920 --> 02:23:07,679
Speaker 30: But I saw Mariah Carey at this this festival.

3012
02:23:07,400 --> 02:23:11,840
Speaker 31: And she performed every song live except for Heartbreaker, and

3013
02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:15,560
Speaker 31: she managed to hit that. I can't even do it,

3014
02:23:15,640 --> 02:23:18,279
Speaker 31: but you know what that that she does, She managed

3015
02:23:18,320 --> 02:23:20,320
Speaker 31: to hit that. And I always just like, Okay, you've

3016
02:23:20,360 --> 02:23:21,600
Speaker 31: still got in you, you know what I mean.

3017
02:23:21,720 --> 02:23:23,960
Speaker 5: So that's dope, yo.

3018
02:23:24,360 --> 02:23:27,920
Speaker 9: That the voice is something that is very It's an

3019
02:23:27,959 --> 02:23:30,000
Speaker 9: instrument that's very delicate. I mean, you have to really

3020
02:23:30,040 --> 02:23:32,040
Speaker 9: treat it like it's an instrument and it's something that

3021
02:23:32,160 --> 02:23:33,880
Speaker 9: you know. One of the greatest tips I received was

3022
02:23:33,920 --> 02:23:37,440
Speaker 9: from a guy who's telling me. I was asking about

3023
02:23:37,480 --> 02:23:39,840
Speaker 9: care and stuff, and he was saying, you know, you

3024
02:23:39,959 --> 02:23:41,120
Speaker 9: have to treat if you look at what all the

3025
02:23:41,200 --> 02:23:43,440
Speaker 9: other players do at the end of the night, they

3026
02:23:43,520 --> 02:23:45,640
Speaker 9: put the instrument in the case. So you gotta do

3027
02:23:45,680 --> 02:23:47,200
Speaker 9: the same thing with your voice. You know, at the

3028
02:23:47,280 --> 02:23:48,879
Speaker 9: end of the night, put it in the case.

3029
02:23:48,760 --> 02:23:52,680
Speaker 8: And a little bit.

3030
02:23:56,600 --> 02:23:59,720
Speaker 5: Get those real that that that real grit.

3031
02:24:03,440 --> 02:24:05,200
Speaker 9: Of course you've been saying in them holes where you

3032
02:24:05,280 --> 02:24:12,119
Speaker 9: want to remember, it'll get you there.

3033
02:24:13,720 --> 02:24:15,879
Speaker 5: So we're here now.

3034
02:24:16,120 --> 02:24:19,039
Speaker 9: So where are you at now in your creative process

3035
02:24:19,280 --> 02:24:22,720
Speaker 9: in terms of what you're working on? You know, in

3036
02:24:22,840 --> 02:24:26,000
Speaker 9: terms of records, what is your what is your creative process.

3037
02:24:26,120 --> 02:24:29,080
Speaker 31: Like Okay, So at the moment, I'm working on my album,

3038
02:24:29,240 --> 02:24:31,840
Speaker 31: Queen the Listine, which will be out next year, and

3039
02:24:32,080 --> 02:24:35,080
Speaker 31: my process is quite weird because if I'm not in

3040
02:24:35,160 --> 02:24:37,600
Speaker 31: a good place, I can't make good music. I know

3041
02:24:37,720 --> 02:24:40,120
Speaker 31: that sounds as easy as as I've said it, but

3042
02:24:41,200 --> 02:24:43,360
Speaker 31: it isn't that. Mentally, I have to be in the

3043
02:24:43,440 --> 02:24:47,000
Speaker 31: right place to make fun music, which is what the

3044
02:24:47,080 --> 02:24:49,520
Speaker 31: Queen Speech project was all about. So if I'm in

3045
02:24:49,560 --> 02:24:51,680
Speaker 31: a happy place and I'm in a good place, I

3046
02:24:51,760 --> 02:24:55,160
Speaker 31: can make happy, funny, good music. If I feel sad

3047
02:24:55,240 --> 02:24:57,520
Speaker 31: one day, I'm going to make drake music.

3048
02:24:57,600 --> 02:24:58,240
Speaker 22: You know that you know.

3049
02:25:02,360 --> 02:25:02,560
Speaker 30: Music?

3050
02:25:02,640 --> 02:25:02,800
Speaker 9: You know?

3051
02:25:03,040 --> 02:25:05,840
Speaker 5: Is it is it that you prefer to do like

3052
02:25:06,040 --> 02:25:07,880
Speaker 5: happy stuff or in the dark snus do?

3053
02:25:08,320 --> 02:25:11,320
Speaker 31: I do prefer to do happy stuff because I just

3054
02:25:11,440 --> 02:25:14,400
Speaker 31: love to see people laugh, man, That's that's what I'm about.

3055
02:25:14,520 --> 02:25:17,880
Speaker 31: Like my personality off Mike as Militia, because that's what

3056
02:25:17,959 --> 02:25:21,240
Speaker 31: Miami is. I just love to see people laugh, make

3057
02:25:21,320 --> 02:25:23,800
Speaker 31: people laugh, and just you know, have a good time

3058
02:25:23,840 --> 02:25:26,800
Speaker 31: with more people. So that's that's the only reason why

3059
02:25:27,080 --> 02:25:30,880
Speaker 31: I thought of doing a project that is funny and

3060
02:25:31,000 --> 02:25:33,959
Speaker 31: relatable and can connect to any common man around the world,

3061
02:25:34,040 --> 02:25:36,760
Speaker 31: you know what I mean, Like Queen's speech. The things

3062
02:25:36,800 --> 02:25:38,840
Speaker 31: that I say in that are things that people can

3063
02:25:38,959 --> 02:25:40,840
Speaker 31: be like, Oh yeah, I know someone who does that.

3064
02:25:40,920 --> 02:25:42,800
Speaker 31: I know someone with Christy Bacon lips. I know someone

3065
02:25:42,800 --> 02:25:43,840
Speaker 31: who don't change their planeties.

3066
02:25:43,879 --> 02:25:45,960
Speaker 8: I know someone someone you know.

3067
