14
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: Ed Lovell was the first celebrity I ever met. You're

15
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: from the same hood, so I'm it's from the same hood,

16
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: so I'm from Queen's. Edits from Queens And I used

17
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: to go to the school called Saint Joe cominan uh

18
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: and across from that school, Ed Lovers, one of your

19
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: kids went to PS thirty four.

20
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: Yep.

21
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and Ed was.

22
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: Dropping his kid off and Ed would have to walk

23
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: through the park where we would play in the afternoon,

24
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: and that was my first time meeting a celebrity. And

25
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: Ed would walk through the park to drop his kids

26
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: off and talk to all the kids out and about,

27
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: And that was the first opportunity of meeting a celebrity

28
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: and seeing how cool a celebrity was, and me thinking

29
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: that every celebrity was that cool. But then when you

30
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: get in this industry, you realize not that celebrity is

31
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: not that cold. But that was my first time meeting

32
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: Ed Lover and the influence of learning what he did

33
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: when he was hosting MTV, to the radio, to all

34
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: that stuff. But that was my first influence of how

35
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: a celebrity is just sitting there and stopping and talking

36
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: to the kids. How much that can do to you.

37
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 3: So who did that for you?

38
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: Who did everybody? Running them?

39
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 4: You know running I lived four blocks away from jam

40
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: Master Jow, so running them did that for me. Ll

41
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: used to stop by when I was in high school.

42
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 4: Security officer stopped buy in front of the school, pull

43
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 4: up in the drop top of holler at me and

44
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: all that stuff. So it was those cats that really

45
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 4: like because they're from Queens and Queens we were like

46
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 4: the forgotten Burrow and hip hop.

47
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: When hip hop was blowing up, it.

48
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 4: Was like, y'all from the desert, y'all are corny, y'all

49
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: live all the way out there. So those cats were

50
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: the ones that really kind of gave me the influence

51
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: to let me know that I can do something in

52
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: hip hop. Up to l actually made me put the

53
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: microphone down. I was an m C before that. I

54
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: was m eddy D back in the day. Remember everybody

55
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 4: had a d D. Didn't even mean nothing made you

56
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 4: put it down that nice. When I heard LKA, I

57
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: knew I was not that nice. Now running them, I

58
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 4: figured I can hang because I used to be in

59
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: the park Park thirty four Park, just slaying cats on

60
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: the mic. When I heard that little fifteen year old dude,

61
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: I was like, nah, I gotta figure out a different

62
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 4: way to get in the tip. Honest absolutely, that's the

63
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: first thing. But I was a trumpet player before that,

64
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: so that's you know. I was in the Top forty

65
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: band from the time I was a kid playing trumpet.

66
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: So that's why what I'm doing right now ed Lover

67
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: Presents the Live Mix Tape Band is full circle for

68
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: me because it's back.

69
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: With being with a band again.

70
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 5: So music has always been Music has always.

71
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 4: Been my entire life, and your top forty band is

72
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 4: when you play everything that's on the radio at the

73
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: time all that Iley Brothers, but between the sheets and all,

74
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 4: we used to play all of that, and we were

75
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 4: one of the youngest bands in New York City back

76
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 4: in when every little bar had a band and a DJ.

77
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Wow.

78
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 6: Do you remember the first time you heard LLL. I'm

79
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 6: sure it was before records.

80
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the first time I heard ll I think it.

81
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 4: Was on Farmers Boulevard in one of those parks over there,

82
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: and he was on the mic. He was about thirteen,

83
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: fourteen years old, and he was a monster at that time.

84
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 6: Wow.

85
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: So by the time you know, he got signed, it

86
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 4: was a rat for everybody.

87
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: How did you get into radio in hosting?

88
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: Right?

89
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: Because it wasn't a job that people really thought that

90
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: they could get right. It was just something that we've

91
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: seen and people were in that business for forty years.

92
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: What said I can do that? Because you were the

93
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: originator really of the urban radio.

94
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Thing, I wouldn't say that.

95
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 4: I would say it Frankie Krocker. Fred Buggs was a

96
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: mentor to me to this day. Those cats that I

97
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: used to listen to, Chuck Lennon and all of them, Yeah,

98
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: Lenny Green, pick Up, Lindy Green, Green Green, Yeah.

99
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: Well, that too, but Lindy Green too, and you know.

100
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: Von Harper Gone.

101
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: You know, those are the cats that they paved the

102
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: way for me. But what I decided to do once

103
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: we got the opportunity to jump on the radio is

104
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 4: to be my authentic self. Because I remember meeting and

105
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: this is no shade on Chuck Lennon, but the way

106
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 4: he sounded in person is not the way he sounded

107
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: on the radio. So when I got my opportunity to

108
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: be on the radio, I was like, I'm just gonna

109
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: be my authentic self and be exactly who I am

110
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: and use my voice and what I wanted to say

111
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: that opportunity come.

112
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: It came from you on.

113
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: TV rats because they were flipping Hot ninety seven from

114
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: a dance station into all hip hop stations.

115
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: So the late Steve.

116
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: Smith, god rest his soul, came down and said we

117
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: needed some people that's authentic and respected and hip hop

118
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: and gave Dray and I opportunity, and I said, hell no,

119
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 4: I was like, am I doing no radio get up

120
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 4: at five o'clock in.

121
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: The morning and be an I ain't doing that.

122
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: And then my manager at the time, Charlie Steller, wrote

123
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: down on a piece of paper.

124
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: But Howard Stern was making every year, and it was like, if.

125
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: You could get almost that good, I could guarantee you

126
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: I could get you a lot of that.

127
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: And I was like, that's the money that people make

128
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: on the rail, let's do it.

129
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: How much was at that time Howard Stern have would

130
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 4: probably making four or five million dollars a year?

131
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 5: Wow, yeah, yeah, that's crazy.

132
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: Do you think because the nineties, do you think early

133
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: people respect urban radio like they do some of those

134
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: other places, Like you look at some of the numbers

135
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 2: that these white guys making this pop radio, right and

136
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: you're talking, I mean I think how it makes ninety

137
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: million or something like that. Satellite still though he was

138
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 2: he was making dollars a year on terrestrial radio. So

139
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: do you think that they respect them. Why don't you

140
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: think they respect the urban because they.

141
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 4: Put us in a box, man, And that's the thing

142
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 4: that that kills me about it. Like they will absolutely

143
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 4: some of these companies will put you in a box

144
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 4: that say all you could do is urban radio.

145
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: But they won't do that to somebody else.

146
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: Like a lot of the black program directors and what

147
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: they call brand managers now, they put them in the

148
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 4: urban box, like they can't program.

149
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: A different station, or like, all you guys know is this.

150
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 4: This is not all we know. We know a lot

151
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: of things. I know a lot about country music. I

152
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 4: know a lot about sports. I was off of the

153
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 4: job in Atlanta on sports radio because I'm a sports fanatic.

154
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 4: But they put us in the box and won't let

155
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 4: us do other things. But you take a white PD

156
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 4: or somebody like that, they'll let them. They'll let them

157
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: program a black radio station when they didn't even grow

158
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 4: up in this music before. They give us the opportunity

159
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 4: to even make that leap from being on air to programmer.

160
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: They'll take a white dude and let him program a

161
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: black radio station, but won't take a black dude who

162
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: has program in history and success and let him program

163
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 4: a country station. It's all programming. What's the difference. So

164
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: they put us in this box that we urban. Urban

165
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: is a nice way of saying black, and you can't

166
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 4: get out of the box.

167
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 6: But that's why, you know, as a personality, I always

168
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 6: say like you have to diversify your guests, Like whatever

169
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 6: your interest on, if you're into comic books, politics, movies,

170
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 6: bring all those artists on.

171
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: You'll limit yourself to just.

172
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: Do That's right the urban guest. Yeah, absolutely.

173
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 4: I remember when I was here at Power when we're

174
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 4: the other place. We used to be right next door

175
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: to Whoopi Goldberg and we put John bon Jovi on

176
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: the radio. Remember when I had Oprah on the radio

177
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: and people was like classic moment. Yeah, how you doing that? Like,

178
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: you know, bon Jovi don't know he cool with black

179
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: people until we tell him.

180
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: So we have to diversify and go outside of the box.

181
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: Did that really happen organically like that with Oprah?

182
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: Just like it was Jamie Fox? Did that?

183
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: Bro Okay?

184
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: I had Jamie up and I said, Jamie, you know

185
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: Oprah's you cool with Oprah. Oprah's getting a reputation that

186
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: she don't like hip hop. You should tell Oprah come

187
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: higher at me. So I guess he told her that

188
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: she was in the city.

189
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: You know.

190
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: He told Gail and they were in the city and

191
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: Gail said, Jamie said that ed love of loves you,

192
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: we should just roll up.

193
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: There, and she just came Wow. I wasn't there, bro,

194
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: I was not there.

195
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: My cousin had gotten killed and his weight was there

196
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: and I left early.

197
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: I was in the afternoons. Then I left.

198
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: Early to go to the wake and we're driving and

199
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: my car get the car the line were driving, me

00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: and my assistant and it gets the phone call your

201
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: Oprah's up here and she's looking for you.

202
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, please get out of here.

203
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 4: Y'all play too much back when we hung out, but

204
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: they called us back. It was like, no, for real,

205
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: Oprah's here, you need to And I jumped out the

206
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: car and ran back to the station and.

207
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: She was there, and she came so cool man.

208
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: She had one security upstairs with her, one downstairs in

209
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 4: the lobby.

210
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: Huh, and Gale and me and I just cut all

211
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: the music off. I was like, ladies at that point, yeah,

212
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: Oprah's head. It was crazy.

213
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 6: That's the one and only time Oprah's ever done hip

214
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 6: hop radio. Yes, the one and only times done anybody else.

215
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 5: How do you be feeling now when people attack Oprah

216
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 5: saying like she's not for like black people with black

217
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 5: men all that, Like you know, in real life.

218
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: You gotta know Oprah Man.

219
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 4: And she does so many things that she doesn't advertise,

220
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 4: Like she gives away so much of her wealth that

221
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 4: she does not advertise.

222
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: Like remember when she opened the school in Africa, and

223
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: people was like, she needn't do that in the United States.

224
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: She's done that, she just doesn't advertise it all the time.

225
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: So she's she's a different a different cut from a

226
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 4: different cloth. And it's funny knowing her because people will

227
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: always tell me to call Oprah and act Oprah to

228
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: do something. I'm like, I ain't calling over. I call

229
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 4: on her birthday and Christmas.

230
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: That's it.

231
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 5: That's how a call you just casually make all the time.

232
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: No what're supposed to do? Open my man, got a

233
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: move each other.

234
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: That the most monumental moment besides on the radio and

235
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: what was one of the worst moments on radio for you.

236
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: One of the.

237
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 4: Worst moments on the radio was somebody that I won't name,

238
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 4: that I was working with.

239
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: That we got into an argument on the radio.

240
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: That was that was crazy because when we actually saw

241
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 4: each other not too long ago and both of us

242
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 4: apologized for our parts and in the fiasco. You know,

243
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 4: you get older and you learned right stuff. If you

244
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 4: don't learn, then you just stuck. But one of my

245
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 4: favorite moments probably was Oprah was definitely my favorite. But

246
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: my favorite from your on TV raps is too. One

247
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: was definitely having James Brown on for a week because

248
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: James Brown's a godfather, saw the Backbone, the most sample

249
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 4: man in hip hop history.

250
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 7: My daddy calls the first rapple absolutely right and funny

251
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 7: with James because the whole time he was there, everybody

252
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 7: around him had to call him mister Brown, and uh,

253
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 7: he let myself, Dre and t Money call him James,

254
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 7: especially when he found out that my first name is

255
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 7: actually James, so then he was talking.

256
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, day dat.

257
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: I ain't know what he was talking about about. It

258
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 4: was cool having him on man, that was so dope.

259
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 4: And probably when we had Bill Cosby on way before

260
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: all the trouble, he actually uh called looking for me wow,

261
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: and then left the number and I called him back

262
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 4: and he actually picked up the phone.

263
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 3: Did he give you a lection?

264
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 4: No, That's what that was crazy, Charlottemage, because you know

265
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: Eddie Murphy had said he only calls you if he

266
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: wants to tell you he don't like what you're doing,

267
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 4: or if he loves what you're doing. So I'm nervous

268
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 4: when he gets on the phone and he tells me

269
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: that he was in his office with his daughter and

270
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: they watched you on TV raps and I was doing

271
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 4: a character and he was like, man, that thing was

272
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: so funny and uh. And then he was like, listen,

273
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have you on my show, and then I'm

274
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: gonna come and do your show. And he was a

275
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 4: man of his work. Yeah, you did do an episode

276
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: of Yeah, I did episode of the show. I did

277
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 4: it twice. The first time we got cut out and

278
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 4: then the second time they interwove with me so much

279
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 4: of the story that it was impossible for me to

280
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 4: get caught out.

281
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 6: The argument you having on the EDD you what was

282
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 6: it about?

283
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: It was about shaking us on the show at the time.

284
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 3: It's like something something that should have been internal.

285
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it got blown out of purposed.

286
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: You know, do you think well, first of all, I

287

Speaker 2: I was I was going to ask, you know, do

296
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: you think radio it's too serious?

297
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: Right?

298
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: Because now when you look at jocks, you know, we

299
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: play all the time. But I remember the skits that

300
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: you used to do and listening to y'all in the morning.

301
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: It was fun.

302
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: Right when I watch you on Rap City, it was fun.

303
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: Now I feel like it was fun. Do you feel

304
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: like it's not fun anymore when it comes.

305
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 4: Back fun because of the people taking everything that you

306
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 4: say too seriously? You know, I say one of my

307
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 4: favorite breakfast club moments when y'all went viral was Birdman.

308
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, put some respect on my name.

309
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 4: I ain't playing all tree of y'all. You come up

310
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: here with a bunch of goons. They taking everything too seriously. Now,

311
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 4: when we was poking front of people, people knew that

312
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: we was just joking around and they ain't taking that serious.

313
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: It was nobody sitting outside the radio station trying to

314
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 4: beat me up because I said a joke about them.

315
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: So I just think, yeah, radio is getting too serious.

316
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 4: But it's the times, and I hate I hate this

317
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: time that every time you turn around you're saying rest

00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 4: it's the love is just almost gone out of it,

321
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 4: and the love needs to come back into it because

322
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: we're losing too many of us. You know, I just

Speaker 4: me and Earth. You know that envy. We all from

327
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,040

328
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: than getting old is not getting old. You know, I

329
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 4: was with Poc. I saw a pot fifteen minutes before

330
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,400

332
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: Before he walked out.

333
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: The last thing he said to me is do I

334
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 4: want to ride with him to NAS and Steve starts party.

335
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 4: I was like, nah, I got a Corvette. I was

336
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: feeling myself a corvette. And you know every time I'm

00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 4: in LA now I got little money giving me a corvette.

338
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, drop tops, I'm rolling? Yeah, wow,

339
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 4: I said, nah. Christopher and he was always Edwin and

340
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 4: he gave me a bottle of don Pi. He told

341
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 4: me to drink hudful for to bring it back. So

342
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, I'm supposed to drink alf a bottle

343
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 4: of Dompia. I'm running around giving it everybody. I bring

345
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: filled it up and gave it back to me. So

346
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 4: that's my relationship. It was hanging with Big, you know.

347
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 4: So I'm blessed to be here.

348
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 3: Man, and I don't speed pass story.

349
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 6: You and Angie, y'all be saying that stuff so casual.

350
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: That's like Greek mythology. Biggie and these people are mythical figures.

351
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: Does was man. Pock was a trip man.

352
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: Being being with Poc sometimes was absolutely intriguing. But a

353
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 4: lot of people don't understand. Was a young dude, so

354
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: sometimes you get caught up in a wave of stuff

355
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 4: when you're young, you know what I mean. And I

356
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: watched him and Big go from two dudes that absolutely

357
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: adored each other to being at opposite ends of something

358
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 4: that just kind of rolled got bigger than them, right,

359
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: So we used to pick Pock up. My man stretched

360
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: too from Live Squad, you know, stretch from the recipe

361
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 4: stretch I got stretching them they did with Tommy Boy.

362
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: That was my group, Live Squad and Stretching.

363
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 4: Poc became friends when I did Juice Stretch with me

364
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: to film my scene the Juice. If you you missed it,

365
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: I was standing behind Queen of I was about.

366
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 7: Did you see my face?

367
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 5: That's why you said that, because I'm like.

368
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: I'm standing behind Queen of Tea from when she says

369
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: the winner is cute.

370
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm right there there though they paid me to sign.

371
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: So that's when we met Pop and stretching Pot, both

372
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: heavy weed smokers and and Trash from Nordy. They all friends.

373
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: So whenever Pot came to New York, we pick him

374
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: up and the first thing he would always ask us,

375

00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 4: I was in Vegas that fight when Pot got killed

391
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,920

418
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 4: hearing it. Big was stunned. Big didn't know where it

419
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 4: was coming from, why it was coming.

420
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: He was hurt. Big and Season probably told y'all that before.

421
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 4: Big was honestly hurt by it because they loved each

422
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 4: other that much. Once that ball got rolling, it was

423
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 4: just impossible. Then you got Fine Magazine and all of

424
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 4: these people doing East Coast West Coast beef. It wasn't

425
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 4: that it was bad boy death Row.

426
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: That was it.

427
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: How did y'all handle that on radio and TV?

428
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: Back then? I'm run to my business, That's what I did.

429
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: I minded my business.

430
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 4: I wasn't getting in between that stuff, man, because it

431
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 4: was hurt for to see two friends just turn what

432
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 4: they'd love they have into ashes, right, So I just

433
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: tried to stay out of it as much as I can.

434
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 6: No, only to ask you a personality back in the day,

435
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 6: how did you know that you had to be multimedia

436
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 6: because you did t TV, you.

437
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 3: Did radio, movie, you did movies.

438
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 6: How did those things? Did those things happened or what

439
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: you were intentional about being multimi?

440
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: I was intentional about it because my mother and father.

441
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 4: I was lucky enough to grow up with both parents

442
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 4: in the home and I they were always instilling me

443
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: that when you get an opportunity to do.

444
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: Something, you take that opportunity.

445
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: So just like you writing books and you're on your

446
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 4: third book now, congratulations, when I had those opportunities to

447
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 4: do that, I took the opportunities. You know, even if

448
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 4: some of them didn't work out, I still I still

449
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 4: took the opportunity. I remember talking to Angie when Andrew

450
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 4: was gonna make her album and I was in the

451
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 4: studio with her doing one of her shows. I think

452
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 4: I was there late for some reason and Andrewe was like, man, ed,

453

456
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 4: are you going to regret it if you don't do it?

457
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,080

459
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: of you. Now, every check ain't a good check. There's

460
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 4: been some endorsement stuff that I probably wish I never

461
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 4: got involved with, but that's the way it is.

462
00:18:59,200 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: You take the.

463
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 4: Opportun when the opportunities presented themselves. That's why when I

464
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 4: had the opportunity to.

465
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:11,720

474
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 4: our manager, said it's a good idea.

475
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Let's take it to.

476
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 4: New Line and then New Line said yeah, and then

477
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: we said we're not doing it unless Ted directs it,

478
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: and Ted was like bet.

479
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: He wanted to do it.

480
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 4: And then they found a screenwriter because I didn't know

481
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 4: how to write a script, and the screenwriter wrote the

482
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: script and we sat with him said take that out.

483
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,800

553
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: Nashville was crazy, and the first time we did Atlanta

554
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 4: was ridiculous.

555
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was cool.

556
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 6: You know, how do you feel about these hip hop

557
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 6: like media personality lists and do you think you know

558
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 6: icons like you know, the Big Boys, the Sways, the Angie's,

559
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 6: even yourself do you think y'all should still be on him,

560
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 6: But I feel like they got to have some type

561
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 6: of of it all time Hall of Fame list for y'all.

562
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 6: I don't even think they should put y'all in on

563
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 6: those things anymore.

564
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, I think everybody's list is everybody's opinion,

565
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 4: and everybody's always going to differ with whatever lists they

566
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 4: come out with. Who's the greatest that did this, Who's

567
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 4: the greatest that did That's funny because we were just

568
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 4: having a conversation because I just recently heard somebody was like,

569
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: I think Tank said Chris Brown was better than Michael

570
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 4: Jackson or something like that.

571
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 3: And I was like, huh, ridiculous.

572
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: It's just ridiculous.

573
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 4: And I think now people do because everything is so

574
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 4: social media, people do stuff for clickbait. So I think

575
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 4: everybody that has their list is their list. My list

576
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 4: is always going to differ from their list. Somebody's always

577
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 4: asking me, who's my top five rappers of all time?

578
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: I get the same answer. I don't have one. I

579
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: don't have one.

580
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: I go by errors, but I just can't say that

581
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: this person is better than this person, or that person's

582
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 4: better than this person, because You're always going to leave

583
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 4: somebody off, somebody that's dope. Like somebody might say, you know,

584
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 4: it used to be jay Z bigg and nods at

585
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 4: one point, right who the better jay Z Bigger? But

586
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 4: how do you leave three thousand out of that? How

587
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 4: do you leave black thought off of that tupac back then?

588
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: You know?

589
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 4: How do you leave most death off? It's just too many.

590
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: So everybody, let's have your listener in ONBAMA.

591
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: I think it's feeling too like to me growing up

592
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: driving to school every day and hearing what's up y'all?

593
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: What you got to say? Who's on the phone with

594
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: at Leasta and j at Leasta and Dre is moments

595
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 2: that you never forget. But there's some kid out there

596
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: that never heard that moment, and that moment is good

597
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 2: morning usay yo yo yo yo, yo yo yo, you know,

598
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: and it is generation because I don't think they actually

599
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: understand what it was.

600
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: That's all generation.

601
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 4: Like when I was a kid, we had our things,

602
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 4: you know, listening to Z one hundred early in the morning,

603
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 4: and then I had my time for the generation and

604
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 4: as generations of people that listen to you guys every

605
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 4: single day, it's just a generational thing. It doesn't make

606
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 4: one thing better than another. It's just what we had

607
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 4: for our generation in our time, and now with somebody

608
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 4: else's generation and their time. The stuff that my grandson

609
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 4: listened to is not the stuff that my daughter listen to.

610
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: You know, I only understand it. It's a whole vibe, Grandpa.

611
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 6: I'm like, okay, I like the Mount Rushmore conversation though,

612
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 6: because I feel like they are founding fathers, founding you know,

613
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 6: mothers who showed justs. We absolutely stand on right. So

615
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,119

00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,640

739
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,640

00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 4: me with love and respect?

789
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: Hell? Yeah?

790
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 4: So all I could go by is what I know

791
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 4: about Sean Khan's what I saw deplorable and despicable and discussing,

792
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 4: and as a father of four girls, did he would

793
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 4: have had a problem if that was my job.

794
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: But I can't erase his legacy and what he did

795
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: musically and.

796
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 4: What he meant to music. And I think he's learning

797
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: a hard lesson right now that these all them people

798
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: that you thought with your people, there was never your people?

799
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: So what should happened to did he?

800
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 9: Now?

801
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: Because we talk about his legacy, right, you know, people

802
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: talk about forgiveness, people talk about he should lose everything.

803
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: What's your thoughts? What should happened to? Somebody like it?

804
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: But I think if there is something legal, let the

805
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: courts play it out. But in the court of public

806
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 4: opinion and morality, that's something totally different. And he hasn't

807
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 4: been convicted of a crime, So the man is innocent

808
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 4: until proven guilty. And I would hope that somebody would

809
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 4: feel that way about me. But I think he has

810
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: to make amends for what we saw in Yeah, we

811
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 4: saw a video like that happened. What's my man named

812
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 4: ray Rice? Remember used to play for Baltimore. He did

813
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 4: the thing in the elevator and you know he didn't

814
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: get to play professional football anymore. So I think you

815
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 4: know did he got some soul searching to do and

816
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 4: he's gonna have to make amends for what we saw.

817
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 5: Can he make amends for that?

818
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 9: Though?

819
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 6: Like?

820
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 8: How do you do that? Like after something like that?

821
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 8: It's super public, It's at this point his reputation is

822
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 8: what it is? Like, how do you come back from

823
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 8: something like that?

824
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 4: I've never been in that situation, so I can't answer

825
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 4: that question, but it's gonna be tough.

826
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: The first you gotta take care of what you need

827
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: to take care of.

828
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 4: As far if I was in that situation, I don't

829
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 4: know how or what I would do. I would think

830
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 4: I would just have to rely on my God and

831
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 4: just take everything one day at a time. But I

832
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 4: would definitely try to make some amends for it and

833
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 4: probably get some counseling for it.

834
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 6: And what you said is true, and I don't understand

835
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 6: why people can't explore that, Like, your emotions do be

836
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 6: complicated on situations like this.

837
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: Yes, what he did is disgusting.

838
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 6: Right, but we still can't actly we didn't wile all

839
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 6: about the Benjamins, and we didn't you know, love that

840
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 6: whole bad boy at some point.

841
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 4: Now we played one twelve in the show Man, you

842
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 4: gotta do the mace pot.

843
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?

844
00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: Who more you want to.

845
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 6: Why?

846
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 5: I mean, you're you've never been in a situation like

847
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 5: you said.

848
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 8: But when I hear y'all talk about separating the man

849
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 8: from the music, I feel like, what are Kelly?

850
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 5: People instantly?

851
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 8: Like stations stopped playing songs, don't stop playing them.

852
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: People bang Kelly, they call it.

853
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying like there was like a corporate.

854
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 6: Like movement around to what he was doing. Yeah, Like

855
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 6: when you hear about what he's doing here, age ain't

856
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 6: nothing but a number, it seems like it's different.

857
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 5: The music was about that.

858
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: I see.

859
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: I think also with I think, and it's gonna sound crazy,

860
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 2: I think Diddy was I don't want to say more relatable,

861
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: but he was more in tune to hip hop. I

862
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 2: would see Diddy, we would go to Diddy parties. He right, Well,

863
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: I know Diddy, I don't know Kelly, you know what

864
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 2: I mean. So it's a little different when you're dealing

865
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: with people like that.

866
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And with Rob, with Diddy, you're not hearing

867
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,479
Speaker 4: nothing about underage you know what I mean. You're hearing

868
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: about wild parties, and you're hearing about what happened with

869
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 4: Ms Cassie Ventura, but you're not hearing about him taking

870
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 4: the advantage of underage girls and boys. And that's what

871
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: we got with Rob. That was an open secret in

872
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: the music business for years.

873
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: That's what Rob's preference was.

874
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, we heard that before all the I mean I've

875
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 6: heard I've heard people say that. Yeah, it was an

876
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 6: open secret. But I mean, why do people allow that.

877
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 4: I guess he was making money people a lot, a

878
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 4: lot of stuff when it comes time to make money, right.

879
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 2: I want to know, you know, back to the radio

880
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 2: where you were talking about white program directors and white

881
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: people running the industry when Hot ninety seven flipped to

882
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: hip hop, right, and of course hip hop is our culture,

883
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: did you ever feel a way that the bosses were

884
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 2: white and they were pretty much telling us what to

885
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: do for our culture in.

886
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: The very beginning of Hot ninety seven.

887
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 4: I can't say that I've ever felt that way because

888
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 4: they were always in tune to what we were doing

889
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 4: and open to listen. It wasn't just like this blanket

890
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 4: that when I went to Steve office it said something

891
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 4: to Steve. Steve would always listen when Tracy was there.

892
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 4: If I go say, Tracy, I think that we should

893
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 4: be doing this, that, and the third, Tracy would always listen.

894
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: And if there was a corporate reason.

895
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 4: Why we couldn't do it, or there was a financial

896
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 4: reason why we couldn't.

897
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: Do it, she was They were always open to listen.

898
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: So I never felt that way over there.

899
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 4: I never felt like I wasn't being heard, even though

900
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 4: this was the music that we grew up on, in

901
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 4: the music that we gave to the world. I never

902
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 4: felt that I wasn't being heard. Because it's the same

903
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 4: way with MTV. Everybody that was my boss with MTV

904
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 4: was white. But I can always talk to Tad and

905
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 4: Peter and they will always fight that good fight for me.

906
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: Dre and Fat I love Tracy. Tracy was the one.

907
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: Tracy is great to Tracy, how did.

908
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 3: You approach on TV different from your approach on radio?

909
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: Television or radio?

910
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 4: Is you know this radio is automatic, It's right in

911
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 4: front of your face. It's like, soon as you walk

912
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 4: out the house, whatever you said, people gonna repeat back

913
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 4: to you.

914
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: Television, you do your.

915
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 4: Job, you act, and they may see it later, or

916
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 4: they may not see it and may air this day,

917
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 4: it may not air this day. Radio is the most

918
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 4: immediate thing because people get you get it automatically and

919
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 4: in your.

920
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: Face, and that's it. So radio.

921
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 4: I approached radio differently the television television. Most of the time,

922
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 4: if I'm on TV, I'm acting well. If I'm doing radio.

923
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: It's just me.

924
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 8: Is it true that you were only making five hundred

925
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 8: dollars a week the first week of YO and TV reps?

926
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

927
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, the first eight so maybe a year yeah,

928
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 4: first year, yeah, because they didn't know what to do

929
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 4: with the show.

930
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: Fab was already there, Thank god.

931
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 11: For Fab Fabredy, fab five Freddy, like Fabulous was there? No,

932
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 11: not that fat, there's another Fab before Fab. It was

933
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 11: Fab five Freddy. He was already there. He got on

934
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 11: in eighty eight. So this show blew up. They wanted

935
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 11: to do a daily show.

936
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 4: So when they decided to do the daily show, Drey

937
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 4: and I got the opportunity to audition. Because Peter knew

938
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 4: Drake Peter Darty god Rest his soul executive producer new Drake,

939
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 4: Ted Demi knew me, and Ted called me in. Ted

940
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 4: had the foresight to put me and Dre together. They

941
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 4: had one thousand dollars a week for a host, so

942
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 4: Dre took five. I took the other five. It didn't

943
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 4: last that long. We got our money.

944
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 2: What was the biggest check you got, if you don't

945

Speaker 2: mind talking from radio or TV? The biggest check that you.

Speaker 1: Was from H that was from TV.

949
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 4: I had an opportunity to do a late night TV

950
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 4: talk show and they gave me a one hundred thousand

951
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: dollars check in my hand.

952
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 5: A few episodes.

953
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 4: We shot the pilot at the David Letterman Theater and

954
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 4: it was a good show and everything was a go.

955
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 4: And then they called me and said, oh, we decided

956
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 4: to go with keenan Ivory Walliams. But they gave me

957
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand dollars. Fine, I mean Keenan, this great guy.

958
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 4: They gave me one hundred thousand dollars holy feet, So

959
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 4: I was fine with that. That's when they hold you

960
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 4: like for a year, you can't do nothing else, like

961
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 4: you can't do another talk show, and they just handed

962
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 4: me a check for one hundred thousand. But Drey and

963
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 4: I went from five hundred dollars a week to a

964
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 4: quarter million dollars a year after the first year, you're

965
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 4: on TV rights each if she was like.

966
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 6: Back then, it was more about hip hop culture than

967
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 6: hip hop business.

968
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Money.

969
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 4: I think at some point money ruined hip hop in

970
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 4: a certain way because it was about the culture. Like

971
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 4: you had to be nice, right, you couldn't just get in,

972
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 4: like you couldn't just go and and you know.

973
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: What, like the water hurt, what.

974
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 4: Traumatizing, water flowing flowing, so you knowing, you had to

975
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 4: have some kind of scale. If you came around with that,

976
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 4: you might get beat up and told to get out

977
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 4: of here, right, So you had to.

978
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: Have some kind of skill level.

979
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 4: But once the money got involved and everybody started making money,

980
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 4: and you saw death Row one hundred million dollar company,

981
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 4: you saw bad Boy one hundred million dollar company. You

982

Speaker 4: saw Rockefeller a hundred million dollar company. You saw Rough

983
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 4: Riders one hundred million dollar company. Sooner or later it

984
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 4: transitioned into were just trying to move units, were just

985
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 4: trying to sell records. We're extremely now, so everybody you

Speaker 6: Boy rant.

993
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 4: And back then after the first couple of records, I

Speaker 4: played get at Me Dog for men.

999
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 1: I said, it's the worst record I ever heard.

1000
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 4: Oh, you got it.

1001
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,640

Speaker 4: hot ninety seven hot shot basketball team we had.

1012

Speaker 1: And that DJ dropped that and them kids lost it.

1013
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 4: I was like, Ed, you was wrong. He was wrong

1015
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 8: What other things did you miss out on that were

1016
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 8: like now they're like we look at the moments like,

1017
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 8: oh my god, like that you could have been a

1018
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 8: part of or could have been a first one.

1019
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 4: My daughter, my oldest daughter, Tiffany, I should choke the

1020
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 4: crap out of her. Lloyd Banks was in her home

1021
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 4: room class giving her the G Unit mixtapes before they

1022
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 4: was signed, and she never once said at their dad,

1023
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 4: here's this group called G Unit that's floating around A

1024
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 4: Fifth is from south side Jamaica queens.

1025
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: And but would you have done it back then?

1026
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 2: Because Fifth had beef with.

1027
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 4: Everybody squash the beef. I probably went to black duss

1028
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 4: it like yo, just man talk to preme. Man, we

1029
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 4: gotta stop this man. We gotta get this kid going.

1030
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 4: This kid you matter of fact, y'all need points, which

1031
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 4: y'all need. Yeah, my daughter, man, she did not tell

1032
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 4: me Banks was in her class, and hey go the

1033
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 4: crazy stuff. He went to August Martin. My daughter went

1034
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 4: to August Martin. Come to find out Banks moms was

1035
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 4: in my homeroom class at August Martin.

1036
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 2: Well, I've seen bake this last week was up the bank, shout.

1037
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: Out the banks.

1038
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 6: How was the game of boll since you started? And

1039
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 6: what changes and surprised you the most?

1040
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 4: I think the change that surprised me the most is

1041
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 4: we don't know how people getting paid from their music,

1042
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 4: you know, the streaming thing. I hear a lot about it,

1043
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 4: like this person streamed this many streams and I'm like,

1044
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 4: so how they getting paid? And then I saw a

1045
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 4: snoop complaining about he don't even know how he get paid.

1046
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: Off of his his stuff.

1047
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 4: I always thought that we would have hard copies of music,

1048
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 4: like it's easier to say this person sold, actually sold.

1049
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 4: This person is popular because they actually people go out

1050
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 4: and consume and bought and paid for it and took

1051
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 4: it with them and lived with it. Like when we

1052
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 4: get Rich and DoD Try and came out. We was

1053
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 4: running around the city trying to find somebody that had it.

1054
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 4: You couldn't find it in the record store. So I

1055
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 4: think what shocked me the most is the streaming and

1056
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 4: probably the lack of balance in him. The balance is

1057
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 4: not there. The love is gone, like you had even

1058
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 4: if we had even if we had kaya, right, we

1059
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 4: still had Latifah and light and salt and pepper, and

1060
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 4: it was always a balance if you if you had

1061
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 4: n w A, you had some conscience over there, right, yeah, right, yeah,

1062
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 4: quality that the.

1063
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: Balance is just is gone.

1064
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 5: Why do you think that is?

1065
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Some people say it's

1066
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: the record companies. I don't know.

1067
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 4: I just think it's what people think they need to

1068
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 4: do to get on nowadays.

1069
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 8: Because I feel like the conscious artists are there, but

1070
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 8: the controversy and like the other stuff breaks through. So

1071
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 8: we just they don't get the light, They don't get

1072
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 8: the you know what I mean? You got to be like

1073
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 8: a cult fan of someone who's conscious nowadays.

1074
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 5: Like J Coles, right, like J Cole breaks through though,

1075
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 5: but yeah, yeah, he don't.

1076
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 4: They give the balance. Rhapsody is one of them. I've

1077
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 4: been telling people about Rhapsy five years ago. I love Rhapsody.

1078
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: She's she's the balance, the three T three D Nazis.

1079
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: I love that young lady. They give the balance. The

1080
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: Lola Brooks. I like Lola.

1081
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 4: There's a lot of young artists out there that I

1082
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 4: really like. But we need we need more.

1083
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: Of a balance.

1084
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 5: How do you feel about the new wave of music

1085
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 5: in New York that like Sexy Drill, it.

1086
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: Ain't for me, No, it ain't for me.

1087
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 4: You gotta understand what's for you, what's not for you? Right,

1088
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 4: And I get to a point now where I'm like.

1089
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's for them. If that's your vibe, that's

1090
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: your wave.

1091
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 4: Cool, because I remember when my father used to get

1092
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 4: at me about hip hop, like that's crap.

1093
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: That deep deep deep, dude, anybody can do that like that,

1094
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: it's music. Ain't music. So the way, I don't get

1095
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: in the way of the young artists coming up.

1096
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 4: Do your thing. God bless you. Y'all make a way

1097
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 4: more money than we ever made.

1098
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: So good.
