It's been 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.880 a blessing, you know, especially working with my big brother 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.680 Man and we sanging songs that we've been singing for 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.880 twenty five plus years and seeing the reaction from not 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.960 only you know, the fans from back in the nine 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.000 nine to two thousands, the new fans, like the fans 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.640 that's been taught by their parents like bag them.

This what we 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.240 went out to. So man, just to be living it 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.120 out right now in real time, is this crazy for us? 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.000 Yeah? It's interesting too because when we think of four 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.160 hundred Degrees, it's an album that has like stood the 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.080 test of time. But it's also an album that, for 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.200 whatever reason, I don't know why, we always will hear 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.720 about like the Illmatics and the Reasonable Doubts and to 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.480 get richard Ie Tryan's but I feel like four hundred 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.600 Degrees has to be in that conversation more. I know 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.720 it is certain people, but it's like it's one of 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.600 those albums that's like up on the wall with like 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.000 good Kid, Mad City, you know what I mean, Like one. 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.400 Of the ones I think a lot of it was. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.880 We kind of took the nice guy approach, you know, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.440 were just like, we know what, We're gonna let the 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.520 music speak for it. But it's obvious that we definitely 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.400 got to be a voice about it and say it 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.960 because it's like you said, you don't say nobody else 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.440 because it's it's definitely like you said it should be 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.600 in more conversations, you know, and because it is not 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.960 only to the South the world like you know this, 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.360 this this introduced a lot of people to Southern rap. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.880 You know this, This was like and it was a 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.400 big deal for us to win the East Coast and 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.480 the West Coast because that was always a dream as 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.880 a kid. You know, we like we we I love 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.680 New Orleans, but we like we want our records to 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.280 be played everywhere, you know. 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.120 And the dream was, you know, us growing up. 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.120 We grew up on in w A, we grew up 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.479 on you know what was with jay Z or whatever, 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.400 and we accepted all of that New Orleans, but they 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.559 wasn't accepting to us, like you know. So the big 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.000 thing was, we want to hit these records in New York. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.120 We want to hear these records in California, you know 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.520 what I'm saying. So that getting that accomplished was kind 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.080 of it was more important than making money, you know what. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.160 I'm saying, and not just that doing it and being 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.200 who we are doing it, you know, at the same time, 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.279 not changing who we are to get the attention from 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.040 New York or the West Coast, just doing our music 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.359 and being who we are, staying authentic in that. I 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.680 think that was the main thing with us, and then 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.160 introducing people to to the whole New Orleans culture, you know. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.360 The way we act, the way we talk, the way 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:32.880 we dress. 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.440 I think that played a big role too, because we 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.080 not only changed I feel like we not only changed 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.000 the way people talk, we changed the way people dress. 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.960 You know a lot of people started wearing T shirts 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:44.280 and JA. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.320 Bowls, and I mean I was wearing a X because 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.400 you guys, Yeah see you know what I'm saying.

I used to listen to master P 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.800 a lot him, though not not the whole No Limit. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.120 You didn't have all those groups yet. It was just 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.520 him when he was out there and Richmond doing his thing. 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.959 I actually like that that, you know. I actually listened 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.600 a little bit before that too, Like before that, like 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.120 nine and nine Ways to Die and all that stuff, like, 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.880 you know, I was on him then. So when he 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.960 when he came out and started doing this thing and no, lemme, 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.520 I kind of like, you know me, I thought he wasn't. 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.000 I didn't know he was from New Orleans or not. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.560 So it was a confusion with me and them.

You know, and there's no 0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:14.760 limits stuff, you know. Yeah, it looks it's a pending 0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:16.400 pixel covered because it's big. 0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:18.480 It's big like the iced out. 0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:20.400 Oh you know what I did see that. I did 0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:20.880 see that. 0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:23.440 Yeah, No, that was yeah, you guys, I mean very 0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:26.879 influential with that too. Uh. There's obviously a lot of 0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:28.760 talk about the Super Bowl being in New Orleans and 0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:31.000 the halftime show. What were your guys' thoughts about you know, 0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:33.120 a lot of people think Wayne should have had it. 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:35.320 My quarrel, I had one thing. Now, I feel like 0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.080 Wayne should have had it a lot of people do, 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:39.879 because he was out there actually campaigning to have the spot. 0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.119 You know, it ain't too many artists of his statute 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:44.359 that's out there asking to do the halftime, So I 0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:46.760 don't that's the first time I ever see that, seeing that, 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.520 and it's you know, we so culture driven. I thought 0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:51.159 it was a good look also for you know, for 0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:53.840 the city. But my real quarrel was now with jay Z, 0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:56.960 not with the Kendrick Lamar because Kendrick Lamar is a 0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:58.679 great artist, and I'm pretty sure you're gonna do a 0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:01.960 great job and time show. And I'm not even counting 0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.200 out the fact that he probably would have put somebody 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:06.400 from New Orleans on and it still might do well. 0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:11.359 I'm not overlooking that. But at the same time, the 0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:13.600 NFL and did like ten So this is like the 0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:16.280 eleven super Bowl in New Orleans and they keep on. 0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:19.840 Excluding anything new. Yeah, that's my point. 0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:22.119 So I'm like, you know, you know, a lot of 0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:23.719 I feel like a lot of people are mad for 0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:25.879 the wrong, you know, mad at the wrong people like, 0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.080 don't get mad at jay Z. Don't get mad at 0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:31.840 it's the people that's hiding the hand that's behind all 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:34.600 of this that I feel like should be stepping up 0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.000 and being responsible and saying because this is the first time, 0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:39.320 and do business with the local businesses. I don't care 0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:41.679 what city you bring the Super Bowl to, you should 0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.280 be doing business with the local businesses and not bringing 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.520 these big corporations in and just just counting us out 0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:49.560 because it ain't just about the artist being in the 0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:51.840 super Bowl. It's about all other things that's going on 0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:54.119 around the Super Bowl, the money that's being made in 0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:56.879 my city.
