1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: If you're angry, you can write something for my angry 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: stance because you pull from that end. And just like 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: being an act, in order to get great, you have 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: to cry at will. If you can quiet will is 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: because you're able to internalize pain to the point that 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: you can tap in on what it is you're trying 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: to get to. It is the same process with the rioting, 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: and you can tap into what it is you're trying to. 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 2: Today on the podcast you heard her.

She was shot and 29 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: killed following the few that she had with her neighbor. 30 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: Apparently the neighbor, who is white, was someone who did 31 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: not like her children playing in a field that was 32 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: adjacent to her home. So aj Owens's children were playing, 33 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 2: one of them left their iPad in the field. They 34 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 2: went back to grab the iPad, and apparently the neighbor, 35 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: the white, older woman, had took the iPad into her home, 36 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: and when the kids knocked on the door and asked 37 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: to retrieve it, the woman threw the iPad and or 38 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: something at the children, and obviously the child went back 39 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: told his mom, Hey, the neighbor threw something at me. 40 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: Mom. 41 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 2: The mom aj Owens went to confront the neighbor and 42 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: she was shot through the front door. The door was 43 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: locked she knocked on the door to say, hey, I'd 44 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 2: like to talk to you. Why in the world did 45 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: you throw something at h you adult woman? And the 46 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: woman refused to open the door. She just opened fire. 47 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 2: Here's the rub. Apparently, this woman was often fighting with neighbors, 48 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: particularly black neighbors in this particular community, and she had 49 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: major issues with aj Owens and her children because she 50 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: didn't want them playing in a field net to her home. 51 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: And the story has gone viral. There's a go fund 52 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: me that has been set and people from all over 53 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: are reaching out. There's just no way in my world 54 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: a mother who is trying to protect their children, or 55 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: their child more specifically, should be shot and killed through 56 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: a locked door because she wants to confront the woman 57 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: who assaulted her child. And again we're speaking in alleged 58 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: terms because she had yes to be convicted. But according 59 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: to all reports, this fifty eight year old woman who 60 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: lives adjacent to this field has been a problem. The 61 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: story is disgusting, it is unfortunate, and I ask you 62 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: to pay attention to it. You don't necessarily have to 63 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: donate to the GoFundMe, but to spread the word. The 64 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: vigilante justice has to stop. It just does the fact 65 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: that I'm telling you that a thirty five year old 66 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: mother of four was shot and killed for trying to 67 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: discuss what happened with her child is ridiculous. And the 68 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 2: State of Florida will tell you she was standing her 69 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 2: ground because that is a law that we're very familiar with. 70 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: Usually the victims are marginalized, they're black and brown, and 71 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: in this case, it as this thirty five year old 72 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: mother of four. And you will hear people say she 73 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: was trespassing by knocking on the door, that there was 74 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: a few that was long time between the two. But 75 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: the level of violence and or aggression that aj Owens 76 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: was met with, to me, is just not justified. And 77 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: I ask you to get active and get activated and 78 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: be involved in whatever way that looks like for you, 79 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: because it's disgusting and that is my opinion. With that 80 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: being said, we're doing a hard turn, I am. I'm 81 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: introducing our next guest, who is a trailblazer. She is 82 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: a pioneer in her own right and a legend. My goodness, 83 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: what other words can I use to describe one? Angie Stone. 84 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 2: She has a new album, Love Language. It was just 85 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 2: released last month, and she worked with Music Soul Child 86 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: on this album in one particular scene called the Gym. 87 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: He was featured on her her second album that she 88 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: ever did. She has ten albums single solo albums Mahogany 89 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: Soul and she worked for Music Soul Child then. And 90 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 2: she has her son, believe it or not, on this 91 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: latest album, a son that she had with D'Angelo, which 92 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: I did not know. Shout out to the researchers on 93 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 2: the Naked podcast, because I did not know her and 94 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: DiAngelo were a thing, nor did I know they produced 95 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: a child, a child who is a rapper in his 96 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: own right and creative in his own right, and is 97 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 2: also featured on this album. I asked Angie about her career, 98 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: her trajectory, the genesis, the origin story, which I love, 99 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 2: uh and you know, she's a true og about it. 100 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 2: She talks about what she likes and what she doesn't like, 101 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: and she's very matter of fact. And I can't help 102 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: but respect people who are just that matter of fact. 103 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: Sit back and relax. Listen to one Angie Stone and 104 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: you so thank you so much for joining Naked. I 105 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 2: really appreciate this.

I'm making sure it's the tenth. I'm trying 110 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: it on to great tell us about your latest project, 111 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: and more importantly, congratulations. 112 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you first of all guys for having me. 113 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: This project is one that I really was not anticipating. However, 114 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: we did it, turned it around in a two week span, 115 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: worked very hard, very quick, very hard, and really you 116 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: know when we were When I work under that kind 117 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: of pressure, that's kind of when the best stuff comes 118 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: out because you you have no time to screw it up. 119 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: You got to get it right or you know. So, 120 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: I'll say, along with Candice base more Teak Underdo, Walter 121 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: Real Sap, and quite a few other producers, we churned 122 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: out some really dope songs that make for a very 123 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: consistent album. So I'm in a good place with this project. 124 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: Oh good for you, But I want to make sure 125 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: I heard you correctly. You turned it around in two weeks. 126 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: How did that happen? 127 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: And I could imagine you have a bevy of songs, 128 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: or you've written so much, I know that it might 129 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: just come out. 130 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: The song that you hear is what we worked on. 131 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: Maybe two didn't make the project because we just ran 132 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: out of time and couldn't finish something. But we had 133 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: exactly two weeks. My manager flew in town. We were 134 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: in the studio for upteen hours doing one two songs 135 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: a night, sometimes just to finish the album two weeks, 136 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: so it was a flat two weeks. 137 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: Wow, that's impressive. But you I have very much created 138 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: a name for yourself in terms of who you've worked 139 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: with in this industry. You've written, you've you've been an actor, 140 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 2: You've had your solo projects that you were a part of. 141 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: From my understanding, the very first hip hop R and 142 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: B group in Sequence signed to sugar Hill. So tell me, 143 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 2: if you don't mind, just go back to the genesis 144 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 2: of it all. Tell me about Sequence and how that 145 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 2: all came about. 146 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: My Sequence is myself, my partner, Blondie and Charlottequarrel, who 147 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: were all high school friends in neighborhood sisters that hung 148 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: out together, ended up going to club's part Cheerers, did 149 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: a lot of things together and as a result of 150 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: hanging out with you besties on a regular basis, we 151 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: started to create this stuff because that's cheerleaders. We were 152 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: constantly writing rhymes, and you know, what was effectually known 153 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: as cheers back then turned into rap music. I guess 154 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: New York called it rap. We call it cheers and competition. 155 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: We won quite a few contests in South Carolina for 156 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: having the best shiars. Our cheers were rhyme, a madic. 157 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: Pretty much of Yog was a song that we created 158 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: that had a hook, which was a melodic of chorus, 159 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: and we add individual raps to it, which coined the phrase. 160 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: You know, y'all could say R and B hip hop 161 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: or how you want to call it, but we added 162 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: singing to hip hop and as a result, it changed 163 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: the narrative overall. So as a result, I believe that 164 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: hip hop grew wings and I went to the next 165 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: generation as something that was getting smaller, growing bigger, and 166 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: spreading broader, and as a result, you know, it's what 167 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: you have today. So it's all often a lot of 168 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: controversy on who was the first to do what, but 169 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: I think that everybody had a first moment in their 170 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: life and their career. We just haded the the only 171 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: felale hip hop that had an original rap record at 172 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: the time that came out and set the. 173 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: Tall of the uh uh and be ladies that followed 174 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: you said it was a cheer and any black girl 175 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: knows like you been like when you cheer. I never 176 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 2: ever thought, because I was a cheerleader, especially for Pop Warner, 177 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: I would have never considered a rap. But that's exactly 178 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: what it was. 179 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: It was cheer. Punk You up was a cheer that 180 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna blow you right on out. We're gonna blow 181 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: you right on up. Get up, get up, get up, 182 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: get up back now. It was a cheer. And then 183 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: we said, funk you right on upna funk up that 184 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: chiney to a song calling a delic What's happened to 185 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: be the hottest group at the time, and the word 186 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: funk was wiggie and phone. Those were the words back 187 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: in the day. So we used to follow you up. 188 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: I love it, I love it all. And then outside 189 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: of that, that's establishing yourself in the world where you 190 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 2: are a pioneer. People are respecting your voice, your sound. 191 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: I'd like to know more about the writing of it, 192 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: because I've read in my research that you felt like 193 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 2: writing and acting in poetry was your first love and 194 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: singing was. 195 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was coming that well. You know, as an 196 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: English major, I loved English. Actually write pulling rhymes. I 197 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: think we all did part of what we became as 198 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: hip hop that you had to be able to write 199 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: your rhymes and all of that. That was something that 200 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: we did at sugar Hill Records. We as a group, 201 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: we went there. We started on songs for the sugar 202 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: Hill Gang, for the sequence for the West Great Mop. 203 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: A lot of what you hear from that early days 204 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: of hip hop, a lot of it was written by 205 00:12:54,559 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: the sequence Apache Eighth Wonder and West Sheet's mod Ness Dance. 206 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: All those songs were coined by a blondie shrilling myself. 207 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, that's powerful. And you say it so matter 208 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: of factly, like you like, yeah, just tomorrow, But that 209 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: is powerful. If you look at the industry today, do 210 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: you see your influence still? 211 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: Well, when I look at the mgry, I see definitely 212 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: see our influence. When Lauren Hill came about, that was 213 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: the greatest compliment that we could have got it because 214 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: she took roberta Flax song is she fused it with 215 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: hip hop, and she took the actual body of hip 216 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: hop and singing and married them together to make one 217 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: of the greatest rat records ever made a bout female ever, 218 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: and that was following the trend that we had already set. 219 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: Now and shout out to Lauren Hill, who performed most 220 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: recently at the Roots Picnic. It was a beautiful reunion. 221 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 2: I'm one of the legends of our time in a 222 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 2: voice that narrates many of our lifestyles. You yeah, so like, 223 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: let me tell you about Brown Sugar. I want to know. 224 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 2: I want to know all that you wrote with DiAngelo, 225 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: because Brown Sugar I remember it changing by GAMEA, you 226 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like for everybody, I was like, well, 227 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: what is this we're listening to? I remember a bunch 228 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: of me and my girlfriends jumped into a car and 229 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: tried to go down to the local radio station just 230 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: to meet DiAngelo because this music was so soulful. It 231 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: spoke to our spirit and I'm like, oh, my girl 232 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: wrote as if we're best friends songs here. 233 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: It's fault funder because D'Angelo uh, just just a credit 234 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: to himself, his brother Luther Archer, and d Angelo was 235 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: primarily responsible for writing a lot of brown sugar. As 236 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, when I met DiAngelo, I was 237 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: confused with that whole vibe because we were excited to 238 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: work for each other. I ended up writing Jones and 239 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: My Bones on that first out, So you know, every 240 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: Day was a song that I wrote. Die was a 241 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: song that I wrote with him. More accordingly, I got 242 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: to work very closely with him in the studio when 243 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: he was was cruising, uh, when we get by songs 244 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: that would embody a presence, energy, a vibe. We went 245 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: on to do the next hour and I did Spanish Joint, 246 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: I did a Great Day in the Morning, I did Africa, 247 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: I did send it on. You know, these are the 248 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: songs that I were writing with him when he started 249 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: to evolb and people started to look for what was next. 250 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: We grew up Great Day in the morning. Like I said, 251 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: We went on to do play for the cartoon soundtrack 252 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan, with Bugs, Buddy and all of it 253 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: was just a pleathor of opportunities to do stuff, And 254 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: it was hard to do Vertical Hole, which was my 255 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: D'Angelo and whatever else they had for me slately to do. 256 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: I was spreading myself for then I had worked on Canther, 257 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: I had worked with Usher and Monica on this, straining 258 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: it out of the panic strack. So I was kind 259 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: of me pulled to and fro at a time when 260 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, music was evolving in a whole other way. 261 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: And we're just grateful that I was factored into that 262 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: whole neo soul by. But I have to give credit 263 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: where credit and do Luther Archer and the Angelo who 264 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: are brothers. They did the soundtrack of Jason's lyric. You 265 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: will know we came right behind that and did a 266 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: Freedom for the Joy with girls all the women, So 267 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, I was part of that whole movement and 268 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: Raphaelsa did you know there was a handful of us 269 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: that kind of played in that playground together. So uh, 270 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: but it's safe to say, uh Ne'angelo was pretty pretty 271 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: formed and well shaped by the time I met him. 272 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: I would only enhance what he was already doing. 273 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. When you write, and 274 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 2: we'll get into obviously your solo career, but when you write, 275 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 2: what do you where do you go to write? What 276 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: is the mood, what is the occasion? How do you 277 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 2: do it? 278 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: When I write, I go to the core of my 279 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: own emotion, because anything that you do is attached to 280 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: an emotion. Be a good bet or indifferent in emotion, nonetheless, 281 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: is what fuse the fire. If you're angry, you can 282 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: write something for my angry stance because you pull from 283 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: that end. And just like being an act, in order 284 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: to get great, you have to cry at will. If 285 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: you can quiet will is because you're able to internalize 286 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: pain to the point that you can tap in on 287 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: what it is you're trying to get to. It is 288 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: the same process with the rioting, and you can tap 289 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: into what it is you're trying to gain. 290 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 2: So wait, so does do they come to you and say, 291 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: and I'll use the angel as an example. Hi, I 292 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: need some dope neo soul music and only you can 293 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: do it. Or is it like I need a love 294 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: song to tell the ladies how I feel? Or what 295 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: what is the directive? I'm curious. 296 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: Okay, there is no real direction on what you need. 297 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: More than likely people think when they hear one hit song, 298 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: nine to nine hit songs from that same person because 299 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: the one whenever you opening matter WI be touched in paper, 300 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna come out break. That is not the case. Okay, 301 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. But normally when 302 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: they say and I need you to write a song, okay, 303 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: it all depends on who the groundwork is. Lay you 304 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: get in a track that it moves me in a 305 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: certain way. I can write something in a certain way. 306 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: But if you if you got one element working and 307 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: then the other element not working, it's gonna be a 308 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: sale marriage. If that makes it as sisty, it has 309 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: to be a work up of marriage. It's almost virtually 310 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: impossible to take a dood track and make it dope. 311 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: Oh wow, now you got a really dope track. It's easy. 312 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: But if you don't have a dope track, you can't 313 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: make something dood dope. 314 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, I don't think it can't work that 315 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 2: kind of magic. So then you are a solo artist 316 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 2: and you have a career and you are your own. 317 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 2: And I always find it interesting I think of artists 318 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: like even a Missy Elliott for that matter, who was like, 319 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 2: I never really wanted to be in front of the camera. 320 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 2: I only wanted to write. And Sylvia rons to me, right, 321 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 2: I mean be in front of the camera. When you 322 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 2: become an artist and everything is about you what is different? 323 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: What is different than being the writer when you're performing. 324 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: Well, when you become the artist, you become an anime, 325 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: become a character. You put yourself in a position that Okay, 326 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: I'm stepping out of being who I was born to be, 327 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,239 Speaker 1: like a regular first. Now I've got to put on 328 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: this persona that I am greater than life. And the 329 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: reason I say that is because you know, when you 330 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: dream of being a superstar, you have an envision in 331 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,959 Speaker 1: your mind that superstar sways her arms out.

If you don't like it, why it's so, 406 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: but I'll take it off a junior paper, go in 407 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: there and nail that. Rec just do that. And I said, 408 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: all right. It was like pulling teeth. I finally got that. Uh, 409 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: ooh boy on it and see I was so outdone 410 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: with that part. Who wait you ooh? And he says, 411 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: why don't you like? I said, I just hate that 412 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: ooh boy yu because that's not now say and uh. 413 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: They laughed at me and laughed at me. So when 414 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: they dropped a single, and when I first played Girls 415 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: in the Back of the Car, it's like, oh, that's 416 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: my favorite, that's my favorite. I looked around like you 417 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: got it. I was like, you have got to be 418 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: kidding me. So I called up my man and I 419 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: said this and that this, and he just bust out laugh. 420 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: He said, you wait, you can see what happened and 421 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: lower and the hold. Everybody was going bananas over kiss you, 422 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: kiss you, kish you? 423 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 2: What does that say? 424 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: Why moves that? When I say it's a bad record, 425 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: it just hit record. 426 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about that. I have it. 427 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 2: I can't process that because I would think as an artist, 428 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 2: you would know what's going to work. 429 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: I think I know, but I did. I absolutely loved 430 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: good Man and I had I was like, Okay, y'all 431 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: can pick all of this, but I and this is 432 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: what I wouldn't do. And they're looking at him like, oh, hell, 433 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: now it's proven that way. Man, she might be right. Okay, 434 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: wait a minute, what the man just went for a 435 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: million this and that, and now that I'm like, but 436 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing. Sometimes, Probably I don't like 437 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: a record doesn't mean it's a bad record. It just 438 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: means that you might want to give it a second 439 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: thought because she said she don't like it. 440 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 2: Probably, Oh that is That really is funny. The irony 441 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: of what it's the truth? 442 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: And you ask anybody and I can't. They will tell. 443 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: You it's something to being maybe I don't even know 444 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 2: what it is. I want to say, maybe being a 445 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 2: little too critical on yourself. I couldn't quite describe it. 446 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 2: I do oh yeah, yeah, I am that you're hard 447 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 2: on yourself? 448 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: Right, I hate it every vocal on this album. I 449 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: knew it was about the cry didn't want to put 450 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: a record out because I thought I sounded like crap. 451 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm just not there anymore? Why do I? 452 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: And now I can't. I'm laying it over and over 453 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: because I'm like, you know, my song was even looking 454 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: at me crazy and I'm like, I kind of bit 455 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: this vaffle. Now he said, I know me too, so 456 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: it kind of grew on us. 457 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it takes a while, but I will say that 458 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,959 Speaker 2: speaking of your son, he is a rapper and is 459 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 2: that correct me if I'm wrong?

Is he sitting in studio with you? 466 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 2: Or he already writes it. 467 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: And y'all in the studio. See, he was in the studio. 468 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: Took me over there and my manner and Mike, can 469 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: you put a verse on this for me?

That is an accomplishment. I know you must 478 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: be proud. 479 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: Are you? 480 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: Can I talk to you about acting because you spend 481 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 2: some time on Broadway, which I feel is and I 482 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: go back and forth between New York and LA And 483 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 2: every time I go to Broadway or I watch you play, 484 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 2: I'm like, that is so difficult. I could not imagine. 485 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 2: Is there anything difference between acting and singing? 486 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: For you? 487 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 2: Which one is more difficult? 488 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: Well, it all depends on the script the role. Singing 489 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: is obviously easier because I've had a whole lot more 490 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: experience with that, and each time when you add a 491 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: melody to a lyric, the memory is locked and loaded. Acting, 492 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: on the other hand, is all memory. You have got 493 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: to really put your mind to work. I did, uh 494 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: the what's the play women of Color? Oh? God, I 495 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: can't think of the Oprah Winfrey colored women? Huh Color? Yeah? 496 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: I did that now. It was Missus Purple, and it 497 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: was written so difficult. I honestly didn't think I could 498 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: pull it off. And when I pulled that off, I 499 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: knew I was ready for the same. It was so 500 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: intricate and difficult. It was almost like something I never seen, 501 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: like Shakespeare, and I had to actually memorize like these 502 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: all these lines. I just finished a series called Whole 503 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: Fate h E A u X that's on True TV. 504 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: That's actually good, and of course you've seen me on 505 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: in the cut of the girl Friends. I think quite 506 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: a few little vies. So it's kind of fun when 507 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: you have to create a new character that is not you. 508 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: Most of the characters that be getting lady if people 509 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: want me to add my sense of humor to it, 510 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: which is easy, but you know, try getting a character 511 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: that does not embody your sense of humor and you've 512 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: got to really create a role for this person. It's difficult, yeah, 513 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: but it's because if you can master that or that that. 514 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 3: Every champion and Kerry Champions to be a champion, a 515 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 3: champion and Kerry Champion and carry chat Champion and carry 516 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 3: Chappion and carry chap Entertainment and make. 517 00:30:53,800 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 2: It work Kerry Champion and. 518 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 3: Then carry Chappion is to be a champion of Champion 519 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 3: and Carrie Chappie and the Champion and carry Sheppion and 520 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 3: Carrie chap Entertainment. 521 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: Getting get working on. 522 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 2: Have you ever done a project you talk about Shakespeare? 523 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: I listened i college. I too was an English major, 524 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 2: and they used to try to make us recite Shakespeare. 525 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 2: I was like, I don't have it. I didn't do 526 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: well in that class barely ce c clubs Linus whatever 527 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 2: it was I had, But have you ever done something 528 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 2: in terms of your acting career and said this is 529 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: this is excellent because it's hard for people who are 530 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 2: very creative and very talented and ambitious to step outside 531 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 2: of what they did and said that I did that. 532 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: Is there a project that you worked on and was like, 533 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: I did that? 534 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I thought I did. When I did 535 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: the show Girl Friends, did I was? I played a 536 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: character called Dalla Mace. I think that I nailed it 537 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: right on the edge. I thought it was brilliant. I 538 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: think the one that I did for Color Girls Is 539 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: was phenomenal. 540 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 541 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: Uh, it was just and a very artsy piece of 542 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: work that you know, everybody had to be on the point. 543 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: I worked with Robin Gibbons, and you know, it was 544 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: just in a chanse to script and you really had 545 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: to be focused to pull it off. And I studied 546 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: real hard and made it happen. So good for you. 547 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm the first person, though, if I feel like a 548 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: script demanding thing that I'm unable to give out. Yeah, 549 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: like I'm all say, unlikely something I really want to do, 550 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: But I feel like a blue a dropped the ball. 551 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: I want audition for it? 552 00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 2: Good for you? 553 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: Now what Tavia Spencer used to read for When I 554 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: lived in California. She and I used to be neck 555 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: and neck at all of our auditions. It was myself 556 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: Olivia and it was someone else's. So the minute I 557 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: left California and moved back South O, Nivia got the 558 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: best role of her life and that was the one 559 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: she played with. She had the pie and she had arrived, 560 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: her break came and I'm like that point role, you know. 561 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: But I mean it was good to see her get 562 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: there because every time I went to the audition, I 563 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: was like, oh wow, I got to go up against 564 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: Octavia Spencer. Oh god again again again. It was that 565 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: kind of thing, you know. So it was one of 566 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: those tactics where I was in great company and I 567 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: used to get called to read for stuff like that. 568 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 2: How amazing is that? And by the way, that is true, 569 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 2: they bring the same person out. You're like, now you again? 570 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 2: Do I have to keep seeing you everywhere? 571 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: Yeah? 572 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 2: Was it like that? Well, I I'm sorry, no, I 573 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 2: was gonna say, was it like that when you ran 574 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 2: into her in an audition room? 575 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: Yeah? Because I knew anything that she was any time 576 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: she was there. We were reading for the same part. 577 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: I hate Hollywood, so I'd be like, but it makes 578 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: me that if I staying, I probably would have wound 579 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: up with her luck. I probably eventually got a role 580 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: that she no longer had an audition for that they 581 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: would have needed a new face for and they would 582 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: to see it. Let's try Andy Stone that I was 583 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: actually supposed to get a role that uh played a 584 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: woman from Ghana that it just elbow was in. Jill 585 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: Scott ended up getting the role, and I remember it 586 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: was coming to me and saying, you need to check 587 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: your team because Anthony, the guy that ended up passing 588 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: away the producer, uh, he let me know that the 589 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: role was yours. He had told him he really wanted 590 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: me to have the role. And Jill ended up getting 591 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: it because her team was just a little bit more 592 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: aggressive than mine and they fought. Whereas I had very 593 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: limited team players. She had a bunch of people that 594 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: were red in her corner. Shout out in Jill Scott. 595 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: They had a lot of people that were in her 596 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: corner and they just charted that great. It's just so 597 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: as a result, she ended up getting that role. Do 598 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: you think that. 599 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 2: I don't know what else there is in terms of 600 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 2: for you to do. But when you get to a 601 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 2: point of your career where you've had success and you 602 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 2: maintain and you have established yourself, what would it be 603 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,399 Speaker 2: a next I'd like to try that? Or what would 604 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: be the next get that you want? Would you want? 605 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 2: I want to come back to LA and really go 606 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 2: hard at acting. Is there something that's out there in 607 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 2: the ether that you're waiting to grab? 608 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: Well, my next is you know, if I had my way, 609 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: I would want to be like Harol Burnett because I 610 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: think that fascinating. She's probably one of the most creative 611 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: women in the game. I love the fact that she 612 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: ran her own ship at her own show. She trusted 613 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: her own jokes, and I just feel like I'm a 614 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,240 Speaker 1: leader like that. I want to be in a position 615 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: where I can drive the car. I think being a 616 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: visionary is key. Of course, I would love to come 617 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: back to LA, but I would love to push my 618 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: own show, and I'd like to see other people when 619 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily have to be in it or a 620 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: part of it, but I really would like to see, 621 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, other people come up because I know it's 622 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: a lot of child with people just right. Sure they 623 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: don't get the break. 624 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 2: It's a tough it's a tough game. It's a tough 625 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 2: game out here in LA. It's a tough game. Okay. 626 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,240 Speaker 2: So for everyone who wants to go out and support 627 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 2: your latest project, how do they find it?
