00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: There was even one person that was like, I don't

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: know if we should hear this, and we didn't. You

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because it ain't about like trying

21
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: to have a gotcha moment ever, and it's more about

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: the comfortability of it. You know, Leila, I think it's

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: like twenty years since your first project came.

24
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 4: Out well, yeah, the original, Yeah, eah, the original. Yeah,

25
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 4: my first album came out two thousand and five.

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: That's crazy, it really is twenty years Yeah.

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 5: Two thousand and five. I want change gonna come.

28
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: That is amazing, crazy, Thank you don't Can you imagine

29
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,919
Speaker 1: like being in the I've been doing radio for twenty years.

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a different thing back then, right.

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: Yes, think about how my test changed from when you

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: first put out your first project, yeah, you know, to

33
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: what it is now.

34
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very, very different.

35
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: What would you say, how like, what's the.

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 5: Good social media? Right off the top, you know, it's

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 5: played changers every day. Yeah. I think that's the biggest difference.

38
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean even how music is put out though now,

39
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: the music, the way it's put out just I mean,

40
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: the tension span now to is so short. Yeah, I

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: feel like songs got shorter absolutely yeah, right yeah, yeah.

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: And there's just like so many artists. There's a lot

43
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 4: of artists now, I think back then. I'm not saying

44
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: that it wasn't a lot of artists back then, but

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 4: I just feel like it was at a time when

46
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 4: you know, when you had D'Angelo and you had the

47
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 4: Jill Scott's in there, Like it was just like people

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 4: stood out. So now it's like it's so much you're like,

49
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 4: I can't even keep up.

50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: I think it's the access of you know, back in

51
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the day, it was like you have to be signed

52
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: to a label. There's a process, then they have to

53
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: do like a whole yeah, marketing plan. Then there's a

54
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: whole like there's they got to put this single out,

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: then they wait, and then they put out another single,

56
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: and then they wait and put out the album. Now

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's good and it's bad, right,

58
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: because it's the access to be able to be like, well,

59
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw this out, you know, and that

60
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: I think helps with artistry sometimes, but it also makes

61
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: it like so much for people to handle.

62
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like it's so much traffic. It's a lot.

63
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 4: But I mean I think it's a it's a good

64
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 4: thing too, because.

65
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: I feel like it's room.

66
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: M hm.

67
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 5: I feel like it's more than enough room.

68
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: It's just it can be like overload at the same time,

69
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: but it's still room.

70
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm always discovering stuff.

71
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

72
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: You know, now, Connie Diamond, you've been doing this since

73
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: you were fourteen years old pretty much as far as

74
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: like poetry music, yes, you know and all of that.

75
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: Underdog Season two is out right now. I didn't even

76
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to you about this the

77
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: letter that you're the first track on the project, So

78
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: talk to me about the vibe that you were feeling

79
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: that because it's very direct it is, Yeah, what do

80
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: you feel direct to? I mean or direct for? I

81
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: want to ask y' all this while we talk about that,

82
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: Like we discuss forgiveness and if it's if it's fuck you,

83
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: then it's fuck you always like is it no going back?

84
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Like have people wronged you and then you is it

85
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: no forgiveness?

86
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 3: I don't.

87
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't.

88
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: It really depends on what has happened or what was

89
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: done to me. So I'm a very graceful person.

90
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: You are okay, okay? Good? I was like, how do

91
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: you feel about that? Because I will say that being

92
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: in this business can also make you see like the

93
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: Western people sometimes, Yeah, I've been there, and it makes

94
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: it really tough because you never know, like who do

95
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: you trust? And yeah, people's motives. People you thought you

96
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: would never fall out with you end up falling out with.

97
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 5: All the time.

98
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like for women to especially. I feel

99
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 6: like people in music tear women apart or there's always

100
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 6: comparisons or kind of what you were saying, like, it's

101
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 6: not enough room for all the women, and so how

102
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 6: do y'all stand out? How do y'all feel like, you

103
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 6: know what, this is my individualism and this is what

104
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 6: that looks like, right.

105
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like I to go back to

106
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: the record the song I try to. I try to.

107
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: I created that record because I felt like there's not

108
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: enough people talk about like the trials or tribulations or

109
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: what they're going through in the process of them, like

110
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: creating a project or being in an industry itself. So

111
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: it's like the project is supposed to sound like what

112
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: we wanted to sound like, but a lot, a lot

113
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: of times out of ten is never. You don't never

114
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: really hear what you were going through in those moments,

115
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: Like you probably hear about it in an interview like

116
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 3: right now, or maybe like if someone is doing like

117
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: a podcast or maybe like a tell all behind the

118
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: scenes something like that. So I felt like where I

119
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: was at in that moment was like I don't want

120
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: to paint this shit to look pretty, because it's not pretty.

121
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: Right now.

122
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: It's not like that.

123
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel pretty right now. I'm not gonna I

124
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: don't want this project to feel like that. I want

125
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: I want to I want people to really understand what

126
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 3: I'm feeling like right now. So that's why I put

127
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: let it in my fans because i feel like I'm

128
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: in a space where I'm trying to find ways to

129
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: connect with them, but I'm also like I'm close off

130
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: to a certain degree because I'm trying to be more like,

131
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: you know, vulnerable, so they can like get to know

132
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: who I am as a person and not just the artist.

133
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Being vulnerables hired.

134
00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 3: It's very hard.

135
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: You're like exposing yourself, but then you're also exposing like

136
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: the things that you feel it could be like insecure

137
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: about I guess if that's the right word. And people

138
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: use that as a weapon sometimes absolutely, Yeah, especially people

139
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: don't care. And you know, Lela, you've done Reality TV

140
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: R and B divas. What was that experience like for

141
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: you now that you look back at it.

142
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 5: Initially it started out good.

143
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: I was enjoying it because I went into it thinking

144
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: it was going to be just that like reality as

145
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 4: far as they were supposed to try to document our

146
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: lives as as artists and then you know, some of

147
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: us are mothers and just showing the real.

148
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 5: Side of our lives outside of just the music industry.

149
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 4: Then it got weird. If I'm being honest, it just

150
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 4: got weird. You know, typical female crap and I don't

151
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 4: do that shit, so oh I can't.

152
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Curas, you can't get it.

153
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just got weird a little where it's like

154
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 4: what we're saying, Like, you didn't I didn't think that

155
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: people really compete with each other like that. And we're

156
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 4: like because I grew up around like real folk, like

157
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I had real friends and

158
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: real niggas around me that like, we don't trip off

159
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: of certain stuff. So when I got in that environment,

160
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 4: I was like really shocked that.

161
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 5: Like I was like, people really be like.

162
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: Caddy and like and I had Like again, it was

163
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: new to me because I've had solid friends my whole life, right.

164
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: And it's like legendary people on the show, Like you're

165
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: respected so much as an artist. We wouldn't think that

166
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: you would go on there.

167
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: I mean, and everybody is cool. Don't get me wrong,

168
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: I'm not, but it's nothing bad. It's just I just

169
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: didn't know that reality wasn't reality, you know what I mean,

170
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: because I was like, well, shit, I'm too real for

171
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: this shit. I ain't I would it don't. It don't

172
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 4: work for me.

173
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: Like the situations you normally would not be there.

174
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't do certain things that just.

175
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: And some things are good for TV but not good

176
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: for your personal life.

177
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it was cool.

178
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, So it was just it's portrayed right, and they

179
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: you know how this stuff, like it can peace what

180
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: they want a piece. And after a while I'm just like,

181
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: but that's not how that really went right. So then

182
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: you're like, nah, y'all got that. I can't, you know

183
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: what I mean, because this is really what it is

184
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: for me, you know what I mean? And I don't

185
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 4: fake this like I live.

186
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 5: This for real.

187
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: So again, it started out cool, but after a while

188
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: you start to feel like it might not be.

189
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Because I felt like you've always been a little like

190
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: protective of your personal life. So that's why it was

191
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: interesting because it's like, Okay, we get to see like

192
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: what we look at going on, but then reality TV

193
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: doesn't really necessarily show that, right Yeah.

194
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think everybody to a certain extent

195
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: want to protect their private Lize's that's nothing wrong with that,

196
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: But I mean I'm open as far as I'm an artist.

197
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: You want to see when I'm in the studio recording, Yeah,

198
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: like that's what I'm doing. You want to see how

199
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 4: these conversations is going. To her point with these executives

200
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 4: are being vulnerable to these moments. But that's not what

201
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 4: we was that wouldn't need How is it.

202
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,479
Speaker 1: For you kind of being more vulnerable now as an artist?

203
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 3: Honestly, I feel like it helps. It's helping me connect

204
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: more with my fans, like the fans that really want

205
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: to know who I am or want to know like

206
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: what inspired me to do certain records or inspire me

207
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 3: to shoot a video a certain type of way or

208
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: wear a certain outfit, or why my hair is the

209
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: word the color it is. So I'm learning now that

210
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 3: you really got to try to. You got to keep

211
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: up with the Joneses, You got to stay in the

212
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: loop with you know the way things are going as

213
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: far as like social media and how because it's just

214
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: it's just ultimate ways to continuously promote yourself and your music.

215
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: So right now I'm gonna I'm in an okay space.

216
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: I'm experimenting right now with like doing some content that

217
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: is going to open up more for like help me

218
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: open up more to my my fans.

219
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good when you could control it too, Yeah,

220
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: Like I think that is such an important thing absolutely, Yeah,

221
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: you know it great platform.

222
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 5: If you can do a reality show, it could be great.

223
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: Now, to be honest, that's the new project that you

224
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: have right now. Let's talk about right on time. Yeah,

225
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: tell me what that's about, because with your music, I

226
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: feel the connection when you sing. I know this is

227
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, super personal.

228
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is right on time, pretty self explanatory, being

229
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 4: vulnerable just speaking on you know, I've been through some

230
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: kind of fucked up situations and this was one of

231
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: those songs where I was saying, like a lot of

232
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: times when you want something, it's not necessarily always in

233
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: your time, but it shows up right on time and

234
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: when you're not a lot of times when you're least

235
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: expecting you. And that's what that was all about, Like

236
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 4: just a coming to a point where I thought like

237
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: I was just done, Like I was like, man, I'm cool.

238
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: No one could get back in.

239
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you know what I mean, Like I've done

240
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: tried it married the voice that's not like, oh, I'm done,

241
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 4: and then it's like, look at this showing up right

242
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: on time.

243
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 5: Just I was like, you know what I mean?

244
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: So that's what it is.

245
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: I love that, right Tom.

246
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, because honestly, like ooh, divorce is one of

247
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: the hardest things. One of the reasons I had a

248
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: topic this morning on my show. We were talking about

249
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: this guy called in. He was proposing after twenty four

250
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: years of being with somebody. He says, it's gonna be

251
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: our twenty fifth year. I'm going to propose to her.

252
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: The whole family's coming for Thanksgiving. I'm like, what made

253
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: you decide to do this? Now? Yeah, but I remember

254
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: an artist and I won't say who he is because

255
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: I want to blow them up. He told me, whatever

256
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: you do, don't get married. It changes everything. And he

257
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: was married, and I was like, dang it. Honestly, it

258
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: did scare me when he said that. He was like,

259
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: people act different after you get married. You could have

260
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: a great relationship. And I didn't never want to think

261
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: about it like that. But we were talking earlier about statistics.

262
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: They said women initiate over seventy percent of divorces like

263
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to it's time to leave. And I

264
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: was wondering, like, because you know, they always say it's

265
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: cheaper to keep her. Sometimes men don't even bother trying

266
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: to do that because it's expensive, you know, to have

267
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: to deal with that. But I also think that men

268
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: have a tendency to make you break up with them,

269
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like they do like the

270
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: most disrespectful stuff, but they're not gonna break up with you.

271
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: They're just gonna act like they're not with you until

272
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: you don't really have a choice.

273
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 6: Or they're just testing the waters to see how far

274
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 6: you can they can go away. But in that same realm,

275
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 6: I saw this trend about women saying even in the

276
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 6: they're happy relationships, that they wouldn't get married again. And

277
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 6: we're encouraging younger women not to get married and you know,

278
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 6: have a partner or have separate homes or something. And

279
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, because apparently men are the more

280
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 6: happy ones in the heterosexual marriage than women. Like a

281
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 6: lot more things fall on women's shoulders traditionally, you know,

282
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 6: and the vacations, putting the union, the kids to school,

283
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 6: doing the doctor's appointments, all those things, but they.

284
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: Were like I got to go home and take my

285
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: kids to school. Yeah, right, which I love it.

286
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 5: I mean, I have been married.

287
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: I can honestly say there's some I believe in the

288
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 4: institutional marriage. I think it's a beautiful thing. I just

289
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 4: I would say that just.

290
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 5: Be made to the right person, right.

291
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: But you never know, because you don't you're marrying the

292
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: right person. Not I you knew you worried.

293
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so sometimes.

294
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're like, I'm we're here, We're

295
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: in it.

296
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 5: I ain't doing nothing else, but I'm playing now.

297
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: I think that it's important try to as best as

298
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: you can't know the right person. I do also recommend

299
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: having separate bathrooms and just in your living.

300
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: Place, things like that.

301
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: Those little things make a difference, right like, because after

302
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: a while, you like you literally need your space.

303
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm never home anyway. And I think

304
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: as artists, like you know, we're outside a lot working.

305
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: You might be traveling a lot. So I also think

306
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: there's that because I do like missing the person i'm with.

307
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's nice to like go away and come back.

308
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: I like that too, yeah yeah, because then it makes

309
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: you like excited, you know, what I'm saying. But I

310
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, like having your own space and

311
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: having that it's a I don't know. It's weird because

312
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: sometimes Gigi would tell you she wanted to be like

313
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: the skin in your skin.

314
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: I'm such a clinger, Like when I love somebody, I

315
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: just want to be like again like, yeah, in their skin,

316
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: Like I just want to be all over them. I'm

317
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: so affectionate in love. W But at the same time

318
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: I be wanting space too, So I get it.

319
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, what's your status, Connie?

320
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: What you mean? I'm the same way.

321
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean relationship. Are you single now?

322
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: No, I'm in a relationship.

323
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so you're clinging in your relationship. She's like,

324
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm not playing no guns. Are you seeing anyone? Right?

325
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: On?

326
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Time?

327
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: Right?

328
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: She said, to be honest.

329
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 5: You know, I'm just I'm in living right now that

330
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 5: you deserve it. Yeah.

331
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 4: I think one of the things that was important that

332
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 4: I learned is to take some time to be by myself.

333
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 4: And so when I got back into the dating pool,

334
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 4: if you will, like it made more sense, right, and

335
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: I could, you know, navigate a little better. I didn't

336
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 4: think I wanted to initially just get out of something

337
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: and jump right into the next day.

338
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: Yea, although sometimes it happens like that.

339
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 4: It does, but I didn't want to, yeah, because it

340
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: didn't work for me in the past. So this time

341
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 4: I was like, let me just chill, and then during

342
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 4: that chilling period is when it showed up right on time.

343
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to clean a slate, yeah, for real,

344
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: That's how it happens, because if you have too many

345
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: distractions and things going on, that's like you're not going

346
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: to attract you know what it is that you want

347
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: to attract, If that makes sense. I feel like, but

348
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, rebound relationships are a real thing. I feel

349
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: like I went from one into another. I feel like

350
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm never single, Like I had a period of time.

351
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: She's right, y'all before he said, what, I've never seen

352
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: a single you?

353
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 5: Wow?

354
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know why?

355
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: You probably go You probably you like you know when

356
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 3: someone like know that, like you have the feeling like

357
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: when you know, like all right, like it's what so

358
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: you like? So you be you've been your situation still

359
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: but then like you're ready, you already know you're who

360
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: you want to be with next, So you're already like

361
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: ready to go somewhere else. You know, that's why you're

362
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: never see probably like all right, I'm done. I'm really

363
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: that because we've been broken up.

364
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: Break up for real?

365
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's all females though, like they we

366
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: break up with you in our.

367
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: Heads like maybe shocked to already gone.

368
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 5: But how does that work though, like when you say

369
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 5: you never seen it, like.

370
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: Well, like okay, so I did have a period of time,

371
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: like before my ex ex boyfriend, where I was like,

372
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: I need a break because I feel like every time

373
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: I started dating somebody, I'm not good at dating several people,

374
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: like it's always gonna so that's yeah, so it's hard

375
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: for me to do that. I saw like a post

376
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: where they were saying they were asking, like when you're

377
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: dating somebody, if they're dating other people, are you okay

378
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: with that? And for me, I don't even have time

379
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: like that, you know what I'm saying, Like if I

380
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: like somebody, you know, I be locked in on one

381
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: person at a time. It's hard for me to be

382
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: like here here. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

383
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,239
Speaker 1: I would have loved to be like that, but I

384
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: just feel like it's just never been. You always know

385
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: who you like, like, even if it's more than one person,

386
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: you know who you like the best, and you kind

387
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: of lock in on that. So that's probably why. And

388
00:17:54,119 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: then I think that I guess like roped into a

389
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: relationship sometimes, like I don't intend for it to happen,

390
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: and then next thing you know, you're seeing one person

391
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: and then it's like, okay, I guess that's my.

392
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 5: Man, Yeah, my man.

393
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. Does anybody say it anymore? Like like when you

394
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: settle down, was it like we locked in or did

395
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: it just happen?

396
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 3: I said something, I was like okay, so like I

397
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: was like, so I'm not about to keep doing this

398
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: or lets you my man? So he was just like

399
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 3: all right, okay, that was it.

400
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, posted up it and everything. How long has

401
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: this been going on?

402
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: Probably like a year?

403
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: Aw Does he understand like all your music stuff? Is

404
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: he you know, because sometimes it's hard for a guy

405
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: to date somebody who does what you do.

406
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: I think he understands, feels it feels like he understands.

407
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 3: We never really had any issues as far as like

408
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 3: what I'm doing in music or I'm doing music, like

409
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 3: if I'm in the studio, late, or if I'm like

410
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: in the studio with a bunch of guys or something

411
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: like that. We never had really issues any issues.

412
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: Like Okay, that's good, that's positive. Leela, you're shaking your head. Yes,

413
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: what about you know? Cause it is like a difficult

414
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: thing I think, and ego wise for guys too, Like

415
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: you'll be outside and people want to take pictures, they

416
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: want to stop you, and now he got.

417
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: To take the communicate communication thing, like if you if

418
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: I'm just in the studio and you and I don't

419
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: tell you I'm in studio and you scroll on Instagram

420
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: and you see me in the studio with I don't

421
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 3: know Drake and whoever else you're like, where you at,

422
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 3: what you're doing is? I think it's about communicating, Like

423
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 3: I'm going through the studio, I have a session with

424
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 3: this person from this time to that time.

425
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: If somebody tries to kick it to you, would you

426
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: tell him?

427
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: I guess I mean nobody really be like I mean,

428
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: I don't type of person. I'm not gonna lie like

429
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: I don't. I feel like certain things are really unnecessary,

430
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: Like I can ignore a lot of things, like if

431
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: I feel like if I even think that it's going

432
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: to make him feel the type of way. Probably won't

433
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: say anything, but h like if I if I if

434
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: it'sone I really want to laugh at, Like I'm like, yo.

435
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: Because that's the hard thing, right, because you want to

436
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: be honest, but then you don't want to unnecessarily make

437
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 1: somebody feel away, especially because you know you're not going

438
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: to do nothing.

439
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 3: But you have in the past, like I have expressed

440
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: something like that in the past.

441
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I don't think I would

442
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: tell me because you like hate the person forever for

443
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: no reason. Yeah, do you know what I'm saying? When

444
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: it could be something that's no big deal, you like

445
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm straight and then it's over. But then now he

446
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: knows and now he's a problem.

447
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 3: I think that also has to do with like I think,

448
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. Maybe maybe because of the

449
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 3: field of work you're into. It's like old Drake Sitney

450
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 3: and d MS and you're like, yeah, but I'm your

451
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: favorite of mine.

452
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: You keep saying something Drake is like everybody's nemesis everything

453
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: because everybody's like super villain.

454
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 6: But also I feel like people don't know anymore because

455
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 6: no one really posts each other like that, like do

456
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 6: you post your band?

457
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 3: I do you do?

458
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not a big.

459
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 6: Poster of my man, like he would be casper to

460
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 6: most of these people, so I don't think they would know.

461
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 6: But I was even in a relationship like yeah, I

462
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 6: did not say anything, you.

463
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: Know, Leilah. For you, when it comes time to work

464
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: on music, what is that process like for you? Because

465
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: I remember there was a time you took like a

466
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: little break from you know, putting out like a full

467
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: body of work. I think it was four years.

468
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 4: Was it was a couple of the yeah, something like that. Yeah,

469
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 4: you know. Again, I'm a mother, so I focused on

470
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 4: my family.

471
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: You know.

472
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: I took some time to do that because when I

473
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: did come out years ago, I hit the payment run,

474
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 4: Yes you did, and I was touring a lot between

475
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 4: here and overseas, a lot overseas ands. So it just

476
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: reached a point where I had to be still for

477
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 4: myself and for my family. And that's what I did

478
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: because I didn't want to lose myself in this industry.

479
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, that's important because people will put and then

480
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: next thing. You know, I always feel like women have

481
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: it different than men too. We do, Yeah, being a

482
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: mom in this business and the responsibility and the guilt.

483
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 5: People have mom guilt, hell of mom guilt.

484
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 4: And I was pregnant before I was on the road,

485
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 4: like and then got him off the road and got

486
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: pregnant and then he wasn't playing have the baby and

487
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 4: then you go right back out like that's you know.

488
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: People don't understand from men, it's different, like, yeah.

489
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: You're wearing baggy clothes because he's like, I don't want

490
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: folks to see I understand what's happening.

491
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 5: But I'm on stage like, man, my, what about the birds?

492
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

493
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 4: And it's like you got all of these you know,

494
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 4: we women, we emotional, We got stuff that we deal with,

495
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: and so yeah, it can be hard in.

496
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 5: This industry is not always female.

497
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was gonna say something.

498
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: I was gonna say. My homegirl she has she her

499
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: daughter's probably like with twelve or thirteen, and she still

500
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: feels like if she's away from one than three days,

501
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 3: she's like I need to be home with my daughter,

502
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 3: Like my girl need to be outside, come outside real quick.

503
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and I think men don't be feeling that,

504
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: like I mean, they miss their kids. But it's different,

505
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: and it's also physically different because it's not like you

506
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: have to give birth, you have to be pregnant, you

507
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: have to take a moment, you have postpartum, like those

508
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: are all the things that you know and no, I

509
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: get it, you know. But and then they also act

510
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: like for a woman once you have a kid, they'll

511
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: act like your career is going to be like damaged

512
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: by that.

513
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: Not you know, it's.

514
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 5: All kind of guilt. They put all kind of stuff

515
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 5: on you.

516
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: Sure, well, how are you feeling now though with the

517
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: project out and everything, and then you did additional songs.

518
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, I feel good. I'm very excited about the project.

519
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 4: Just to still be able to do what I love

520
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: and do it for the people, it feels good, and

521
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 4: I feel good about the body of work. I'm constantly

522
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: growing as an artist and evolving, and I just love

523
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: the artists and woman that I am now.

524
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you have such a phenomenal voice, and it's

525
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: so unique. I think once we hear it, it's like

526
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: we automatically notice you.

527
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 5: Thank you.

528
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's not because I feel like sometimes it's

529
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: also hard, like you said, there's so much right now, yeah,

530
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: so to be established in that way is such a

531
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: big deal.

532
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 5: Thank you, Yeah, thank you.

533
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: She's like, I don't even know.

534
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 6: You know.

535
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: And for you, Connie Diamond, I've just been you know,

536
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: a lot of people have been following your path and

537
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: your career up until now. And I told you this

538
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: when I saw you last time. It feels like now

539
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: is your time, like because sometimes we could be impatient

540
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: too and be like okay, but it feels like now,

541
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: you know, just with this project, I love it. I

542
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: think it's amazing and it's it's such a like a vibe,

543
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: vibe because this is how I like my music to be,

544
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: like how to say New York.

545
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. I appreciate you.

546
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was getting ready to it on the way here. Really,

547
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 6: what did you like the most ghetto and ratchet?

548
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

549
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: Is it?

550
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Let me show you or show something? Let me see something.

551
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 5: That's my other one?

552
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 3: I recorded that one in Cali?

553
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 5: You did?

554
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

555
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 3: It was a producer's name is Diego. Diego.

556
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: Do you feel like when you record and say another

557
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: state or city or even out the country if possible,

558
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: that it creates a different vibe for you circumstances or

559
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: like the area where you.

560
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: Are absolutely when I first saw with de Gym. They

561
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: were flying me out constantly to meet to go to

562
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: the studio and met with producers. And I feel like

563
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: I made some of my best music when I first

564
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 3: that's good. There's a song that I have with a

565
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: DMX semple with these pitches want and I couldn't, I couldn't,

566
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 3: I didn't haven't. It's a most story about getting cleared.

567
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: But I feel like that's my favorite soe. It's the

568
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 3: first song I ever recorded. When I got out there,

569
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 3: it was like the first day. It was like such

570
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: a vibe. I feel like when I'm when I fly out,

571
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: when I go to the studio, I don't know, like

572
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: I have a different inspiration, Like I have a different

573
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: like the energy is completely different, my thought process is different.

574
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's the air or of just

575
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 3: the assphere or just being in the studio with its

576
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: different different creative so like I love, I love flying

577
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 3: out and making music because I always make something fire

578
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: and different.

579
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: You probably get like really inspired by where you are too,

580
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, aside from being here, what about you, Leela,

581
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: is that your experience.

582
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 4: Definitely definitely like I live in the South now, but

583
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 4: I always fly back home to Cali a lot of

584
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 4: times to record. Just yeah, whether it's palm trees, it's

585
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 4: the beach, just the it's.

586
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: The we're just the feeling of being at home.

587
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's sad, it's weed this everything, you know what

588
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So it's like it makes you it makes

589
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 4: me feel a way when But I also I lived

590
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 4: here for a long time too, and I recorded my

591
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: first couple of projects out here, and I had a

592
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 4: great time too.

593
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: This was a time too. It was a time Yeah,

594
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: New York. That was That was a time. I don't

595
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: know what to recreate what that was like, man.

596
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 4: That's what we were saying like that that time, like

597
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 4: it was just it was special.

598
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: Like do you have some stories, because you know, we'd

599
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: like to hear some first hand stories of what it

600
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: was like being here during that time and record.

601
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 4: I remember I was living here and then I would

602
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 4: catch your train down to Philly and record. That's where

603
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 4: Touch a jazz studio down there, depth Jesse Jeff Studios,

604
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 4: and I remember being in there with Flow a Tree

605
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 4: and Music Soul Child and everybody was just like all

606
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 4: in different rooms just like working on their projects, right

607
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 4: and like you would just hear like amazing stuff and

608
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 4: then to hear it like several months later come out

609
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 4: and like you blew up like it was just dope,

610
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It was just it was

611
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 4: just a time. It felt so special. But yeah, I

612
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 4: remember those days and just like how exciting it was

613
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 4: just to it felt like it was a rebirth, a

614
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 4: rebirthing of soul music because it wasn't never like a

615
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 4: situation where soul had left. It's just you hadn't heard

616
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: it in that manner in a long time. So to

617
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 4: hear that fresh take on it, to hear these new

618
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 4: artists what was considered at the time of your soul

619
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 4: artists coming out, and you know, to be amongst that,

620
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 4: like it was.

621
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: It was like cruise too kind of in a way,

622
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: like you know, and I feel like recording is so

623
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: different now, you know too. It's because everything is so

624
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: technologically advanced that people don't really be in the studio

625
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 1: together necessarily because it used to be like you at

626
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: the studio, I'm gonna pull up. I feel like, I

627
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: guess not as much. I don't know if I'm wrong.

628
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: It's pretty much it's a lot of recording and sending

629
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: your verse or sending the track.

630
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, the collaboration and that energy, the energy ag is important.

631
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 5: Yeah that really it does.

632
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: It turns the song up twenty times.

633
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: It does.

634
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I wrote.

635
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: Me in the studio anytime I do something with the person. Yes,

636
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: I was in when we did get on Ratchet, it

637
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: was like, and that's all I feel like, Oh my god,

638
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: it's so good.

639
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: And you knew when that you knew when you recorded

640
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: that what it was about to be.

641
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 3: I knew. I was like always over.

642
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 5: Dam story and stuff like the what.

643
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 6: Was my favorite line? I gotta look it up. I

644
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 6: just look up the lyrics, but there was some. There

645
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 6: was one that's.

646
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: Doing it is secretly ghetto and Ratchet. Yes, now I'm

647
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: walk you hood Princess love it. It is interesting though,

648
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: like today I feel like being an artist is not

649
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: necessarily just about the music. Before you could get away

650
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: with having like an amazing album. Earlier you were talking

651
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: about connecting with people. It feels like you got to

652
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: do like.

653
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: You can't just make music anymore.

654
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta do it all.

655
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: You gotta like you can't gone as the mostique of

656
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: being an entertainer or artist or even a celebrity.

657
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: Everything is so out in the open.

658
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: Now everything so many people are accessible through social media

659
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: and meet and greets, and like literally I live in

660
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: Atlanta and you can see anybody at like Chick fil

661
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: a or Target or you never know where you can

662
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: run into somebody at. And it's just like back in

663
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: the day, in the nineties and the two thousands, we

664
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: weren't seeing celebrities out and about living their real lives.

665
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: We didn't know anything about I remember there was a

666
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: time but we didn't even know what certain people look

667
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: like into their albums draped you.

668
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying, And those days can happen. Yeah.

669
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: Now everything is just like in your face, out in

670
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: the open, so everybody is so accessible, and you know,

671
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: it's just a different time.

672
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I tell you posting DiAngelo to rest in

673
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: peace to di'angelo man, that was it's like so unexpected,

674
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: you know when that was announced. But he was somebody

675
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: that I feel like you would not just see him

676
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: out and about it ever. Yeah.

677
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, like she said, the times are just different. I

678
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 4: mean we're talking about as you said earlier twenty years

679
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 4: ago to now, like social media has truly just affected that,

680
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 4: like so you almost got to just be out because

681
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 4: it's like they don't even care about your music.

682
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 5: They just want to like what she got on, what

683
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 5: he got on.

684
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 4: It's like, man, like, you understand how dope this artist is,

685
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: Like are you listening? You worried more about what he

686
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 4: got on versus what he sounded like in its quality

687
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: of So it's like it's more you gotta sell. It

688
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 4: seems like a brand and everything and your personality versus

689
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 4: just your talent. Like I've seen somebody say that recently too.

690
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 4: They it was like the industry cares nothing about the

691
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 4: talent anyo.

692
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: Which sucks. That's the foundation of the industry because there's

693
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: definitely people we all could probably think of that we're like, yeah,

694
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean not naming no names, but I'm just saying

695
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure we all could like be like, Okay, you

696
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: know this person is.

697
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 3: But you know what then that and it from an

698
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: artists and parts, it does suck because there's a lot

699
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: of artists that are that are in that position where

700
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 3: they're like, oh wow, but the talent is not it's

701
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: like invisible. But I think that's where the people that

702
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: do have talent, that's what they have the advantage because

703
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, cool, so what are they doing that

704
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: I'm not doing? And it's not really to compare yourself,

705
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: but it's more to see what the people are more

706
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: interested in. People want to know about you. Now, if

707
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: you're a person that is very private, then it's not

708
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 3: gonna work in your favor. But there are ways to

709
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: figure out how to how to get your people in

710
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: because I heard that once, once you get someone to

711
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: be invested in you as a person, they will they

712
00:32:52,600 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: will buy your fart selling instance, pussy incense like you

713
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: could sell anyone anything at that point because they're so

714
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: invested in you person.

715
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 2: Having the town to IoT some bottle pussy what I didn't?

716
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: I just I'm you know, I'm an insane girl. I

717
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: had to buy the bottle pussy incent I did get.

718
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: I don't think they.

719
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: Incense, that's.

720
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 5: It.

721
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, she gave it to me, said he what's this

722
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: smell like incense?

723
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, yeah, but I think i's not my pussy.

724
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: Earlier about the people have these days.

725
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 3: That came away, it was told.

726
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: Out, let me ask you this, would you work with

727
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: somebody if they were popular but you didn't really think

728
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: they were good. Oh, I'm gonna ask both the popular.

729
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: You know, it's get It depends depends where I'm at

730
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 3: my life for real.

731
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: But at right now, if somebody was and you was like.

732
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: But I would because it's a business. For me, this

733
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: is business. It's not it's not something I'm doing because

734
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 3: I just literally have to pay my bills. Like it's

735
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: a business.

736
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: And exposure matters.

737
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: It does matter because just because I don't feel like

738
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 3: they're that great, but they have, they have an audience.

739
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 3: I'm still looking to expand my audience. So if I

740
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 3: know that I'm great and people who feel like.

741
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm great that I want to, I'm gonna go in

742
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: there and be great.

743
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 3: Either way, that's it. I'm just gonna do what I do.

744
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: And they're not that great is your own personal opinion.

745
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 4: But you know, yeah, I think it's subjective, you know.

746
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 4: And though I think it's definitely subject.

747
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: Because there's times have you said no to certain like

748
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 1: collaborations that it's like a personal like I'm not really

749
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But even though people may

750
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: like them, maybe you don't.

751
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 4: It's not even so yes, I think again, because I

752
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 4: don't think I don't like to judge people like that.

753
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 4: I don't like to judge other artists because I know

754
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 4: that artists, as an artist be sensitive about our ship

755
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 4: like keep it.

756
00:34:59,040 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 5: I don't want to judge.

757
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 4: It's like it may not be my thing, but that

758
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 4: don't mean it's not a thing, you know what I mean?

759
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 4: Like it it's so subject. It's like there's so many

760
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 4: genres of music. It's like you know, and so that

761
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 4: means it's it's going to be different types of artists

762
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 4: for different types of people.

763
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 5: So I don't try to judge that. It's more for me.

764
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 4: It's like if you like on some weird kill kill

765
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 4: kill them, I don't like.

766
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 5: That or like I'm like, yeah, that's different, you know

767
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 5: what I mean.

768
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 4: I probably can't rock with that because now we're sending

769
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 4: a message that I don't support. So it's not even

770
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 4: about whether you are viewed as whack or not. It's

771
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 4: just like I don't say that kind of shit, like right,

772
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 4: so like yeah, like yeah, so no, I wouldn't do that.

773
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: You know, you always knew what you wanted to be

774
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: right and what you were going to do. Did you

775
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: ever have any like odd jobs coming up while you

776
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: were trying to make.

777
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 5: It absolutely I did a little bit or anything.

778
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:51,520

Speaker 3: Get your girl.

804
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: No, well, listen, what I used to do was we

805
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: used to go. I would return stuff that I never bought,

806
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: so I would go to the register to somebody I

807
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: knew she would bring it up as a return, and

808
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: then I would get credit and shot, so it looked

809
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: like transaction. Yeah, you know, everybody. And it was interesting

810
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: because I did that and mad people was getting fired

811
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,480

Speaker 1: least like going because they could look on the cameras

813
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: and see you at the register. As long as it

814
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: looked like I would just bring stuff up, they would

815
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 1: ring it up and ring it up as a return,

816
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: so they didn't know we might got to take this out.

817
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can say this, but I

879
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 6: Oh okay, So remember I got a new laptop, so

880
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 6: I had this man little shopping spree, went on a

881
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 6: little shopping spree, got some ship, got a new computer,

882
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 6: and he started acting crazy. After that, hung out with

883
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 6: him the whole day, you know, let him live his

884
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 6: little fantasy like whatever, hugged him goodbye and what about

885
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 6: our merry little way. Then he started acting a little

886
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 6: cool cool, and I was like, you know what, I'm

887
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 6: gonna hold it.

888
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 5: I'm gonna wait.

889
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 6: He was supposed to be getting me passes to something

890
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 6: that was coming up, so I was like, let me

891
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 6: just wait the little three weeks to tolerate him, and

892
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 6: then I'll block him and I'll never have to deal

893
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 6: with him again. So he starts really just amping up

894
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 6: the crazy, amping up the crazy.

895
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: The example, saying he was saying shit.

896
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 6: He was just saying weird shit, taking pictures of like

897
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 6: the ground and being like, are you gonna come come

898
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 6: meet me at home? Deeper like just weirdly clearly drunk

899
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 6: or whatever type shit. So finally I was like, no,

900
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 6: I go to it was the US Open. Going to

901
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 6: the US Open. He was supposed to get me passes,

902
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 6: didn't get me the passes. I was like, fucking, I'll

903
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 6: buy my own ticket. Then he was like, so you

904
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 6: don't want to see me, and I was like no,

905
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 6: well no, what was the point of that. So then

906
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 6: he gets mad that I went anyway, hits me up NonStop,

907
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 6: won't leave me alone, looking at my page from different profiles.

908
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: Whatever, that's weird.

909
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 6: I do an interview where I talk about I used

910
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 6: to have a roster and I had a pipe cleaner

911
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 6: on my roster, okay, And I guess that really triggered

912
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 6: him because the next thing I know, he's calling me

913
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 6: non stop, texting me non stop, telling me that I

914
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 6: should get the pipe cleaner to send him ten thousand

915
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 6: dollars to pay him back for all to pay.

916
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't get money, bag. If you decided to

917
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: buy somebody something.

918
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 6: You said yes every time AMX texted you and said

919
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 6: is this you?

920
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: So?

921
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 6: I'm so sorry to say so anyway, I was like, yeah,

00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 6: I'm good. Restraining order there was Wow, you be.

923
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: Getting a Ristinia order is no joke. And I'm glad

924
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: nobody else had to do that. What are some things,

925
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: like you said that you learn from, like being married

926
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: and divorced, for moving on in the future.

927
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 4: Again being married, that keeping your individuality, that that emotional space.

928
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 4: I like having my own closet. I like having to

929
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 4: be able to you know, to date in the marriage,

930
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 4: like really still date. So when I say closets, like

931
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 4: you have your own space. I have my own space.

932
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 5: Go that side of the house and you don't get

933
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 5: ready you need your own house next door.

934
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 4: No, no, no, It's like if we're all, if we're

935
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 4: all on top of each other, then like excitement.

936
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 5: Sometimes I get boring, they get comfortable.

937
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: That's why New York is tough.

938
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 5: It's like it's like it's.

939
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 4: When we come together after like, oh I didn't know

940
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 4: that's what you know, Like we look good, you know,

941
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 4: you got yourself together, and now we meet in the

942
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 4: family room, and it's like it feels it keeps feeling fresh, right,

943
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? So I learned that and

944
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 4: then and then after being single and all that, it's

945
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 4: just I feel like when you have kids, you got

946
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 4: to figure out how to put them first and swallow

947
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 4: whatever that you might be feeling towards the other person

948
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 4: because it's about the kids, Like, yeah, I like.

949
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: You, but but they don't got to know that. Yeah,

950
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: because they.

951
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 4: Just got to know how to like actually just be

952
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 4: grown and mature. And it's not always easy because sometimes

953
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 4: we want to crash out. People, you know, make us upset.

954
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 4: So just learning how to juggle, you know, the maturity

955
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 4: of actually having to be responsible for another.

956
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: And having kids, it's definitely our next level in a

957
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: relationship of trying to make sure that like, the kids

958
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: come first, I mean, I like.

959
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 5: You, and then one other thing.

960
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 4: I will say this, this is just old school, and

961
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 4: I didn't think of it until afterwards, but I had

962
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 4: a that she always told me, she keep your own money,

963
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 4: keep your own account, and all that kind of stuff,

964
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 4: and it made sense.

965
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: I agree with that.

966
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 5: Keep your He ain't got no anything, right, he don't

967
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 5: need to know anything.

968
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: I was reading this, didn't I tell you all this?

969
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I was reading right about it. I

970
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: was reading this post today about this guy who was

971
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,479
Speaker 1: like really him and his wife and he was really

972
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: struggling to make as meet, working two jobs, and she

973
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: had I think it was like what forty six forty

974
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars saved up and he didn't know about it.

975
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: But it felt like I was like, if he was

976
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: struggling and doing all that, he ain't had to know

977
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: you have forty seven thousand.

978
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 3: But did she help him?

979
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 5: Though, No, he didn't.

980
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: And he was like stressed out, struggling and she wasn't

981
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 1: saying nothing about that money.

982
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 3: I don't like that.

983
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: I felt like that was that was too much. But

984
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: I agree with having your.

985
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 2: Own, absolutely having your own, but if he's struggling.

986
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 1: Because there's times that one person's up and they were married, yeah, yeah,

987
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 1: they were married.

988
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 5: Like you could have you could help them. Like, it's

989
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 5: not like.

990
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: Could you with somebody that you make more than and

991
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: be okay and have yeah okay.

992
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's just it is what it is.

993
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 4: It's not like you try but try to.

994
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: Be like sometimes man, there's nothing like being spoiled though, yeah,

995
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: because I think what that teaches you what happened? Something

996
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: happened because I don't even know that was the trigger.

997
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: You know, well, we don't gotta talk about it, it's

998
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: too soon. I want to hear about it. Because your

999
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: reaction with the what does the money be the issue.

1000
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: Money is the number one reason people it's adultery, but

1001
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: it's money. It's the money. It's the money is the

1002
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: issue is like, why you gotta ak funny with the money?

1003
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: And if you have more.

1004
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 4: Like you said, if you have, if you're a female

1005
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 4: a lot of times and you got more than them,

1006
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 4: that can get a man.

1007
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 2: It's when a man thinks that you don't need it

1008
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 2: because you got.

1009
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: It, I still need it. I don't care that I

1010
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 1: got it.

1011
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 2: Give me yours too, Yeah, and don't ask funny when

1012
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 2: I ask you for it.

1013
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 1: I don't care what I got. I want choice because

1014
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: you don't care that I got vagina. You want mine,

1015
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: You want to moth you and everything. Gosh, what are

1016
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: you gonna say?

1017
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: Time?

1018
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 3: Companionship, whether whether we have our own or not, a

1019
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 3: man should still be willing to like to take.

1020
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: Some things that the world.

1021
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 6: The way our society works is it's set up to

1022
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 6: benefit people with penises. We have to struggle whether it's

1023
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 6: we're on our period, we're giving birth, we're doing whatever.

1024
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 6: We have a different set of things. We have to

1025
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 6: cut through every moment that we're live. So I'm like,

1026
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 6: the least you could do is send me a little

1027
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 6: pair of shoes or a little thousand dollars if I'm down,

1028
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 6: or something for even existing in your world.

1029
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 5: You pushed out this baby. I have ten months.

1030
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 2: Hello, body still like, come on, you swallow them babies

1031
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 2: do something.

1032
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 4: And then some guys really can't handle when women make

1033
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 4: more than them right right so.

1034
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: Now, And I think that's the main thing. It's an

1035
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: ego thing too, because the dynamics of the relationships sometimes

1036
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: men like feel like not as masculine if they're like,

1037
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, they don't even want to ask you. And

1038
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: then sometimes they can take it for granted too, because

1039
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: then at first they don't want to ask you, but

1040
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: then they get used to this shit.

1041
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 4: You know, they don't want to ask you, but then

1042
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 4: they also expecting you.

1043
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 5: You got it? Like, so, which one is it?

1044
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: Because I think sometimes too, like we can try to

1045
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: be too like, okay, no worries, like that's me. Yeah,

1046
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm always like I don't want to figure it out. Yeah, yeah,

1047
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: you don't want to make out? Why should I have

1048
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: to keep figuring it?

1049
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 2: A lout?

1050
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 5: But you're strong because you have to be, not because

1051
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 5: you always want not.

1052
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: Because you want to be right, I don't want to

1053
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: be strong. Listen, I have to be I don't want

1054
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 2: to be you know.

1055
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 1: I want to ask you all this because I saw

1056
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 1: another post where people are talking about does your past

1057
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 1: to find who you are today? Because some people feel

1058
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: like I can make some assumptions about you based on

1059
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: things you've done in the past, but some people will say,

1060
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: my past doesn't define me. So first I want you

1061
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: to think about this about yourself, right, how much does

1062
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: your past to find who you are today? Do you

1063
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: think that people can make assumptions about you based off

1064
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: things that you've done before? And then we'll think about

1065
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: how we view other people. But Jordan, let's start with you, like,

1066
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 1: how much does your past to find who you are today?

1067
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 6: I feel like it doesn't necessarily now, but I would

1068
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 6: say right after I did boy, there was an assumption,

1069
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 6: especially when dating men, there was an assumption that that

1070
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 6: meant like I was bustling wide open immediately when really

1071
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 6: was like one I will celibate at the time, like

1072
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 6: they didn't have anything to do with each other. I

1073
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 6: don't think that so much affects me now, I would say, now,

1074
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 6: it's more. When I was on a reality show that

1075
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 6: my summer house that I think is more projected onto me,

1076
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 6: and that was three four years ago.

1077
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: Do you let people know, like, do they discover they

1078
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: playboy and then you tell them? Or do you give

1079
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 1: somebody a heads up like my titties on the internet.

1080
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 6: You know, I haven't had the conversation in a long time.

1081
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 6: But I also think that's because I haven't been in

1082
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 6: a relationship.

1083
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: Okay.

1084
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 6: I think if I actually really liked someone and cared

1085
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 6: about someone that I didn't already know, yeah, I would tell.

1086
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: Them mm hmm, yeah, because I wonder how does that work?

1087
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: Because they'll google you. They're there, and they're there, They're there.

1088
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 6: It looks great, they look great, they have a milk

1089
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 6: chick in the shop. Yeah, when you look back at that,

1090
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 6: that's not something that you regret at all. Right, never, Okay,

1091
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 6: I just want to make sure as we're talking about it,

1092
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 6: because I don't want to talk about something you're uncomfortable with.

1093
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 6: I love both of my shoes, and I wrote my

1094
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 6: own article in it, and I talked about being a

1095
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 6: woman who's comfortable in my body, and especially Black women,

1096
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 6: how we're not encouraged to be confident in ourselves and

1097
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 6: be sexual and even doing a podcast like lip Service,

1098
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 6: it would be like white women and they could do

1099
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 6: that all day and it's like, let's give her millions

1100
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 6: of dollars.

1101
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: But like these hosts, Yeah, you want to talk about

1102
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: it disgusting. Yeah, And it's really not even just about that.

1103
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, sometimes it's more women empowerment. It's

1104
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: more being in a safe space and having conversations about

1105
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: things that people might consider taboo. But we need to know,

1106
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: but we need to talk about it, and it's a

1107
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: healthy conversation. So Leila, if you think about yourself in

1108
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: the past, you think that people could judge you based

1109
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: on your past, you have a problem with that.

1110
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,879
Speaker 5: I kind of don't care. I mean I think people

1111
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 5: judge people all the time, and.

1112
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 4: So they probably some maybe one or two people like that, Yeah,

1113
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 4: don't want to accept me for today. They want to

1114
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 4: You're always gonna have no folks. It's like, well, I

1115
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 4: remember when she was working at Macy's or whatever, Like

1116
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 4: I remember.

1117
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: What she's Yeah, it's always always gonna be like, it's

1118
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: always going to be that group of type of people

1119
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: that's on that type ship that just still want to

1120
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: just be like she ain't so and socause she used

1121
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: to live over here whatever, but niggas so what Yeah

1122
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: that's part of the story. Yeah, I love that story.

1123
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying, Like, I don't care, Like, yeah, yes,

1124
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 4: that's part of my past and this my present and

1125
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 4: my future right too, So what you know what I'm saying.

1126
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 5: Period.

1127
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: I hope I don't get banned from Macy's after all this.

1128
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't want I did, Okay, But anyway, what about you, Connie,

1129
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: if people had to judge you from your past, what

1130
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 1: would you say? Do you think that's a good measure

1131
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: of who you are today or not?

1132
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 3: I'm kind of piggyback off what she said. I don't

1133
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 3: really care. I think that I'm I'm in my head

1134
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 3: a lot, so I'll be judging myself. I feel like

1135
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 3: wherever I was in the past or things I've done

1136
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 3: in the past, I'm always looking to evolve and to

1137
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 3: be better or to progress. So I think that I

1138
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 3: care more about like just the thought of where I

1139
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 3: was before where I'm at now, based before I came

1140
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 3: a fuck about what somebody else thinks about what I

1141
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 3: was doing five years ago, how I was years ago,

1142
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 3: and where I'm what I'm doing today, I don't really care.

1143
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: You know, It's interesting to me, Connie Connie Diamond because

1144
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: I find that in your music you are so like

1145
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 1: confident and don't give a fuck, But then talking to you,

1146
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: it feels like you second guess yourself sometimes, if that

1147
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,959
Speaker 1: makes sense? Are you more like you know what I'm saying.

1148
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: I would never think you would be nervous about anything.

1149
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I get that, you know what I mean, Like,

1150
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: like I'm a little nervous to do and even I

1151
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: saw you posting like when you did your photoshit you

1152
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: had the tell fire on my tel vire so I today,

1153
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: but I saw you saying like you were you know,

1154
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: you were a little nervous, like you don't give that.

1155
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: But I love that that.

1156
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 3: That's the most important thing about it because I feel

1157
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 3: like I feel like you have to lead with example.

1158
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 3: You have to show you are confident in what you're in,

1159
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 3: what you're representing, like it's what it's your own brand,

1160
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 3: what it's yourself to right. But I feel like we're

1161
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 3: all humans, so everybody, everyone has a moment where they're

1162
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 3: like a little self conscious about something or insecure about something.

1163
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 3: I think that's super regular. But I feel like where

1164
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 3: I'm at is like I feel like I have to

1165
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 3: be that way because I feel like as soon as

1166
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 3: you like show a little bit of weakness or show that,

1167
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 3: people find ways to try to tear you down.

1168
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: See they figured they figure it.

1169
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 3: Out and the old world like nah, Like I want

1170
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 3: you to know that I don't I don't give a fuck,

1171
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 3: and I'm here and I'm right here and I'm gonna

1172
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,439
Speaker 3: talk my shit. I'm gonna gonna do it a hundred times.

1173
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 3: But I do like whatever whatever the case is, like

1174
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 3: I want to I always want to project confidence in

1175
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 3: what I do because I believe in myself and I

1176
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 3: believe in anything that I want to do, I work

1177
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 3: towards it. I believe in myself. So I just always

1178
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 3: want to project that. But I'm not going to act

1179
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 3: like there are moments where I do feel insecure or

1180
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 3: I feel like there's certain things that I'm worried about,

1181
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 3: Like even right now, like I've been working on this freestyle,

1182
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 3: Like people know me for doing freestyles, like Kanye got

1183
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 3: even freestyle, Like I got signed off my freestyle sign

1184
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 3: and like I have.

1185
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: That it's some amazing beats.

1186
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 3: And yeah, like that's my thing, Like that used to

1187
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 3: be my thing. Like I used to be on a

1188
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 3: train writing freestyles, and now it's like, because I'm where

1189
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 3: I'm at in the industry, now it's like you need

1190
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 3: to create songs, you need to create records. The focus

1191
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 3: is creating records. So I kind of lost that. I

1192
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 3: don't know what it is that spark or that that

1193
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 3: energy that used to maybe just want to sit down

1194
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 3: and just write, just free write to a beat that

1195
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 3: I like. And I've been working on this freestyle to

1196
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 3: Cardi B's pretty pretty ump petty, but I've been I'm

1197
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 3: self conscious about it, lady, because I'm like, damn, it's

1198
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 3: not hidden how I wanted to hit or it was

1199
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,959
Speaker 3: not sounded like I needed to sound because I haven't

1200
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 3: been really like doing that.

1201
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: I haven't been in that bad.

1202
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 3: But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go along and

1203
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 3: be like yeah, yo, I can't. I'm not gonna scream

1204
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 3: about it.

1205
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna on it.

1206
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 3: And when I actually put it out, it's gonna look

1207
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 3: like I did this ship with ease. I did this

1208
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 3: ship in my sleep. It's gonna look like that. When

1209
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 3: I'm bitched you feel me, so I feel like you know, that's.

1210
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: Just who do you listen to when it comes to that?

1211
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: Like do you like free?

1212
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 3: So?

1213
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like no, like this in particular, like are you

1214
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, like maybe a man is it remy? Are

1215
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: you like listen to this but you think? Or do

1216
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: you just not tell nobody and work on it alone?

1217
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 3: Right now? I've been I like, I love my I

1218
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 3: let my man here, like a couple of bars I

1219
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 3: had and my best friend who's like my number one

1220
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 3: like supporter, Like, I was like, how's this soundings so far?

1221
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,439
Speaker 3: She was like it sounds good. You're in your head,

1222
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 3: like get out your head, you know, get out your head.

1223
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 3: I think that's as artists we always were own reds credit.

1224
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 3: We felt like it's good, They're like, na, this shit

1225
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 3: as far Like nah, but it's really about a feeling.

1226
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:03,919
Speaker 3: And now when I'm in the studio and I'm working

1227
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 3: with people, I always tell him like I like it,

1228
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 3: but I don't feel it. And I need to add

1229
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 3: it's something I feel if I don't know how to

1230
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 3: describe it. But if when I feel it, I know,

1231
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 3: all right, this is done, this is it. I don't

1232
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 3: and you know what that feeling is that's it, and

1233
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 3: I will not put something out. I don't feel it.

1234
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 3: I don't give a fucks a hundred people feel it.

1235
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 3: I don't feel like it's not happening.

1236
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, listen and you know what works for you.

1237
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: But you know what I will say, sometimes people don't know.

1238
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: I've heard so many stories about artists who their biggest

1239
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: record has that ever happened to you? Was a song

1240
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: that maybe you weren't in love with.

1241
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 3: But other people was like, yeah, that happened to me.

1242
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: I think about Race Sweet Lady. Oh yeah, yeah. I

1243
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: feel like so many artists say that, Like, you know,

1244
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: like Big Sean the song he had with Chris Brown,

1245
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: he hated it and then they put it out, you

1246
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like the certain sounds a lot

1247
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: he said.

1248
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 3: That was a lot of artists, like a lot of

1249
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 3: big artists today, they have that story.

1250
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about you, Lee? Was there ever a song

1251
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: that you didn't really love but people were like this

1252
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: is amazing?

1253
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: Are you?

1254
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1255
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, but we didn't put it out.

1256
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: I did, Okay, Yeah.

1257
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 4: It was one people like, but I probably should have

1258
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 4: because you still can.

1259
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1260
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,479
Speaker 1: I feel like your music is so timeless. Thank you,

1261
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: because it's like soulful, it's beauty, you know what I'm saying,

1262
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: it could just like transcend. Yeah, to be twenty years

1263
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: in and be like this ship still could come out

1264
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: right now.

1265
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. It's like she said, it's a pheel.

1266
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 4: I'm a soul artist at heart, so like it literally

1267
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 4: comes from the soul. For me, it has to and

1268
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 4: I gotta feel it like that. And so I think

1269
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 4: that's what what makes soul music special, is it it

1270
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 4: is timeless, It is transcends, you know, decades. If you

1271
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 4: put on a Marvin Gaye album right now, it's still

1272
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 4: going to.

1273
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: Feel I need what's going on right now like I am.

1274
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: And so that's what makes it.

1275
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 4: That's soul music though, because it came from that place

1276
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 4: that you know, you can't fake that and you can't.

1277
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 5: That is not contrived and that that's that's different.

1278
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: Even thinking about like your first big song, that's a classic,

1279
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

1280
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like all.

1281
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: Right now, Giji, I didn't even ask you if somebody

1282
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: has to judge who you were before and who you

1283
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: are now.

1284
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 2: My past, because we know my past is very checkered.

1285
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 2: I just feel like I have no regrets. I've lived

1286
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 2: a life that if I was to walk out of

1287
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 2: here and it was the end for me, I would

1288
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 2: be happy with how what I've done. I feel like

1289
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 2: when people judge's projection, I feel like people see something

1290
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 2: in you that they wish they saw in themselves, and

1291
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 2: then they try to turn that against you and make

1292
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 2: it bad. I also feel that what I eat don't

1293
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 2: make you shit, so I don't care if you like it.

1294
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: I loved it, I digested it, and I'm shitting it out.

1295
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 2: And guess what You're not like. You get what I'm saying.

1296
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 2: I've always been that type of person. I also have

1297
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 2: done a lot of things that people will consider taboo

1298
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 2: right within my career and choices that I've made in life,

1299
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 2: and just you know, all of the things. But again,

1300
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 2: life is to be lived and it's for you. I'm

1301
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 2: only in competition with who I was yesterday, so that's

1302
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 2: the only person I gotta worry about. I gotta worry

1303
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 2: about coffee yesterday, not coffee today. And in the future.

1304
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 2: We evolved, like you said, we grow, we evolve, and

1305
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 2: we move on. And I think that I might have

1306
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 2: done some things. I know I've done some things in

1307
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 2: the past that most people could never or would never

1308
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 2: see themselves doing. But my reasons is my reasons. The

1309
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 2: method to my badness has always been I've been in

1310
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 2: the state of survival.

1311
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: So I didn't.

1312
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 2: Choose to become an exotic entertainer because I wanted to

1313
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 2: be naked for strangers. I had to take care of

1314
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 2: a child, I was homeless. I had my reasons for

1315
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: doing what I did, And if people want to judge

1316
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 2: me for that, then okay, judge your mama agree.

1317
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: But what I love is like Magic City docu series,

1318
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: which by the way, Gji narrated and produced. Okay, and listen,

1319
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: well we just got nominated for a Critical Ue Award.

1320
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm really but I love the fact that your story

1321
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: has come full circle. Yeah, you know, from people judging

1322
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: you to now you being able to twenty years later. Yeah,

1323
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: twenty years later. Yeah, So that's such a big deal.

1324
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of what we did in

1325
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: the past makes us who we are today, absolutely and

1326
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: not to be judged by it, but to also know

1327
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: this is part of like the fabric of my story,

1328
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

1329
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 2: Can I do get the people in the comments and

1330
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 2: online or whatever that want to say that that's my

1331
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 2: whole life, Like, oh, all you want to talk about

1332
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 2: is how you was a stripper. It was a big

1333
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 2: chunk of my life, Like I can'tnot say that that's

1334
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 2: what I used to do. Like you used to work

1335
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 2: in Macie you said, used to work in Macy's. Like

1336
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like that was a part

1337
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 2: of your story. A big chunk of my life was

1338
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 2: adult entertainment. So it's like, I am not the girl

1339
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 2: who's trying to sweep that under drug. You know, that

1340
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 2: was a level of life for me that allowed me

1341
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 2: to assent to where I am now and I will

1342
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 2: never be ashamed of it. Do you feel like some

1343
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 2: type of vindication like now, yes, absolutely with the documentary.

1344
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 2: Hell because the same the same way that I was

1345
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 2: put down because of how I chose to hustle and

1346
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,840

1368
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 4: been up until that point working so hard, just trying

1369
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 4: to quote unquote get discovered. And so when I got

1370
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 4: my first deal, yeah it was. It was exciting. At

1371
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 4: least I thought it was. I thought I was like, oh, nigga,

1372

Speaker 1: You know, but and like you said, it's different nowadays though,

1380
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: I feel like also, I feel like anytime my artist

1381
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: signs a deal, they still got to move like the independent.

1382
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. The first thing I learned when I signed,

1383
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 3: I was like, it ain't like everything that I was

1384
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 3: doing before I signed, Like, now there's like people that's

1385
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 3: going to do it for you. It's like, oh no,

1386
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 3: now you really need to do it. Yeah, that's when

1387
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 3: just the name on it and get you a couple

1388
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 3: of dollars, put you on a couple of blocks, especially now,

1389
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 3: put your music in a couple of rooms. But you

1390
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 3: still look you a couple of cars to locations. But

1391
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:29,919

01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 4: back up in January and I go overseas to Europe,

1420
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 4: but then I'll be back over here.

1421
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: Do you love being on tour or do you or

1422
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: is it just just curious, like I do.

1423
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 5: I guilty, I do guilty pleasure, Yeah.

1424
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 4: I do, But I hate being away from my family.

1425
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 4: So it's just trying to find that balance. When I

1426
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 4: was younger, you know, before the kids, it was very

1427
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 4: fun because I didn't feel nothing.

1428
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 5: It was I didn't you.

1429
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Know, I wasn't responsible.

1430
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't responsible for anything. But now it's really

1431
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 4: it feels more like work at times, but I enjoy it,

1432
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 4: but it's it's definitely working it because.

1433
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: What you wanted is how we have to look at

1434
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: it sometimes like this is what you asked for it. Yeah,

1435
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: do do your kids know you're famous?

1436
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 2: They don't care about it, But I'm saying, like when

1437
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 2: they go to school, they yeah, they.

1438
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 4: Look at stuff because they know. I mean again, they

1439
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 4: got the internet now. But my I'm such a reflection

1440
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 4: of like my environment and my family and in terms

1441
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 4: of like nobody cares, like that's probably why I'm so grounded,

1442
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 4: because like grow you back in here and wash some dishes,

1443
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 4: Like my mom still talks to me like that, Like

1444
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 4: so no one literally cares.

1445
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm just mom.

1446
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Like, but there's some things they see you doing and

1447
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: they're like, that's so dope. My mom did this on

1448
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: the game.

1449
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 5: My daughter thinks she'd be like, mom, that's cringe. Don't

1450
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 5: do that.

1451
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 4: She's that generation's like, Mommy, don't do that, that's cran.

1452
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 4: But when I come to my shows and they.

1453
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 5: See, oh, it's okay. But then after after that.

1454
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,959
Speaker 1: Gets yeah, he question.

1455
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, So you've been doing music for how

1456
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 3: long you would say I was, it's twenty plus years, Okay, yeah,

1457
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 3: I have a question. So, like I've been doing music

1458
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 3: for a long time as well, but I won't even

1459
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 3: time for like probably three years now, and I find

1460
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 3: it really hard for me to transition during the holidays

1461
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 3: and you know, howdy, you know, when the industry shuts down,

1462
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 3: it's like there's no work. It's just you with your family,

1463
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 3: which is great, but I don't have kids, so you know,

1464
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 3: I'm just like, and this is the first time I'm

1465
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 3: living on my own, like since I've been on so
