Now, Charlie Walk, if people don't 211 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: know who you are, let's start off in the you 212 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: do some of the history. It's some of the things 213 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: that you did in this this thing we call the 214 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: music industry. You know. I started off for early, like 215 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: when I was at Columbia Records of eighteen. My first 216 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: job was to work with like LLL cool j Into 217 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: Slick Rick into new Kids in the block. So I 218 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: got the sense of like, real artist development, real artists 219 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: did the work. That's sort of been the way it was. 220 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: When we met Destiny's Child, Beyonce was fourteen. There were 221 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: five girls in Destiny's Child. I don't know if you 222 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: guys at the beginning, none there were three. Wow, So 223 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: we got to see when Beyonce walked in the room 224 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: with the mom and dad at fourteen, you were in 225 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: the presence of greatness. You knew it before, no, no, no, 226 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: right before all the hits. Yeah. So I always say 227 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: ours are born, not made. And I think one of 228 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: the reasons why we're here today is we're talking about 229 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: like this crazy TikTok thing where everyone thinks they can 230 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: cheat and cut the line right and go like this 231 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: and pray to God something happens. But the real stars 232 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: do the work. I mean, look at you. How long 233 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: it take you? Right right? Did you do the work? 234 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: Did you just go on TikTok and say, hey, I'm 235 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: the start. So I was an intern. I kiss want 236 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: to wait in Boston wow, back in the day, because 237 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to get into business, and I started working 238 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: with talent. The first thing was like new Kids. There 239 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: was no there's no MTV or YouTube or TikTok was 240 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: like FM radio was your only narrow lane. If you 241 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: couldn't get through that, no one heard you. So how 242 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: do you break, right, You got to go through. You 243 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: gotta go through community. And the biggest stars actually broken regions, 244 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: right community. You look at the biggest rappers did the work. 245 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: So what's happening now is you're just no one's developing talent. 246 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: The labels are taking stuff off TikTok. You guys have 247 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: to play a lot of crap, right if you really 248 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: think about it, not sticky stuff, you play songs, but 249 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: how I'm an artist, you guys really get excited about. 250 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: In the course of a year, it's gotten down to 251 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: very low numbers because of sort of that TikTok thing 252 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: where people just going up and throwing you know, hail 253 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 1: Mary's so, you know, but back, you know, back in 254 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: the day we did that and then in the last 255 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: many years, you know, Ariana Grande at the Weekend. The 256 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: Weekend was a big part of my life at the 257 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: beginning when we were trying to figure out how to 258 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: take like the Prince of Darkness but haven't play wide 259 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: but still stay within brand. And so we were part 260 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: of like the transition of like kiss Land that album too, 261 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: Can't Feel My Face, And that was a really great 262 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: thing to like have someone that created his own brand. 263 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: But how do you figure out how to get the 264 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: stadiums and arenas. I think the biggest stars do that, 265 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: and I think that's why, you know, we worked with 266 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: a guy like Stefan. We met him at twelve. If 267 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: you heard the audio that was sent to us at twelve, 268 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: you knew the kid had pitched perfect tone. And then 269 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: you have to sort of like imagine and manifest the future. 270 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: What's he going to look like at fifteen or now 271 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: sixteen or seventeen. And if you get in early enough 272 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: and you developed a talent and you don't chase the song, 273 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: you chase the artists, you end up but you know, 274 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: real career, this is kind of like where I'm at 275 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: today thinking about it takes longer, you don't make money 276 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: right away, but at the end of the day you 277 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: end up in a stadium in arena. Damn. So it's 278 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: the fun. I gotta be pressure for you right right here, 279 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: and all I got. I got this pressure. I mean, 280 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm from South Africa. My parents moved here just for 281 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: me to do this, so I got pressure from there. 282 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: I got pressure from this. But you know, I think 283 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: that's when I do best. Honestly, what made you come here? 284 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: Because you know the South African music scene is over 285 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: the last ten years, it's so huge, so big, so 286 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: many stars. So I made you say, you know what 287 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave that scene and come to the US. Yeah. 288 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: I got signed in South Africa when I was like 289 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: nine or ten years old. I was super little. I 290 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: met this record label over there and I sang in 291 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: front of like ten thousand people. Like three days later 292 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: I opened the show. It just went crazy in South Africa, 293 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, Hollywood's the entertainment 294 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: capital of the world. Let me and my whole family, 295 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: my little sister, I'll just go over there and try it. Literally, 296 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: let's just take a gamble. Let's go try And I'm 297 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: so thankful for my parents for that. You know, my 298 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: parents believes in me enough to just go gamble, like, 299 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: just go see if if anything happens, and it did. 300 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: What's this science behind real stars? Well, first of all, 301 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: they have to want it more than you. Okay, they're 302 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: the CEO of themselves. They have vision, they're not puppets, 303 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: and they have a work ethic like you've never seen. 304 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is the most intense, incredible, focused artists I've 305 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: ever seen in the world. When I met Beyonce at fourteen, 306 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: she it was it wasn't like fun. You don't go 307 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: and have fun with the artists. It was serious art 308 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: conversation about the music and what it's going to be 309 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: and what the brand's gonna be. And they always would say, 310 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: like the general thesis is and artist is a brand. 311 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: A brand is a promise. What's your promise? And they 312 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: knew their promise. Sobody, parents call me and hit me 313 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: up on DM my kid TikTok. TikTok's fine, but it's 314 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: TikTok is not the platform that's going to break you. 315 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: It's you and your art right, TikTok's reels, all these 316 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: things come and go. It's the content that you're feeding 317 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: into those platforms that's gonna snackable fifteen or thirty seconds 318 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: of great that's gonna maybe go viral if you did 319 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: the work right, it's not gonna be TikTok. So so 320 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: that's I try to preach that more than ever. And 321 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: he hates TikTok. He he doesn't, he doesn't care about 322 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: it because he's chasing his art, not the song in 323 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: the moment to be goofy. I'm more far more interested 324 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: in in my craft and being better at what I 325 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: do every single day than and especially when when I 326 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: post a TikTok and it's like actual good stuff that 327 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: I do when I take time to do a cover 328 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: does worse than me doing some stupid lipsync trend or 329 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: some you know, some stupid thing. So you guys understand, 330 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: like you have to be goofy on TikTok, like it 331 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: forces you right, right, you have to being goofy. And 332 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: this kid, I'm not being goofy like you have to 333 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: do obscure goofy things to get into the algorithm to 334 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: possibly be in the four you page to go to 335 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: go viral, right, goofy like he doesn't want to do 336 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: a goofy I'm not going to get in a fight 337 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: about it. So he's just gonna stick to chasing the 338 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: artist versus chasing the song. And you know, not being 339 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: a one hit wonder. And those one hit wonders are 340 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: like cleaning our apartments, not like what do we do? 341 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: Like what are you doing that?

Apparently American Idols twenty one, 365 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: which is crazy. It's the twenty first season I went on. 366 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: I was approached by American Idol that asked me to 367 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: go on the show, and I went on an audition. 368 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: You know, it's Katie Perry, Luke, Brian Lionel, Richie. And 369 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: I usually don't get too nervous, and if I get nervous, 370 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: it's super like internal. I don't usually show it, but 371 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: I remember I was like, no, it's good. Like it's 372 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: just me singing in front of three people in a room, 373 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna look at them. Usually that's where 374 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: I feel like I thrive. And I look at I 375 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: walk into this room and I'm like so nervous, Like 376 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: I walk in and like I have a water right now, 377 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: Like I needed water so badly. I was so scared 378 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: that they were gonna pick up my mouth being drawing 379 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: on the mic. Like I wanted to ask right, like 380 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: if you're from a small town, you don't got no connections, 381 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: you know, no no real money then best, but you 382 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: got a lot of talent you wanted those What do 383 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: you do to get an opportunity with somebody like you child? 384 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: You mean, how do you get someone's attention that? Actually 385 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: I could do it. I think what stops me is talent. 386 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: You know, It's like it's like, how do you stop 387 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: the scroll on Instagram what makes you? And you're going 388 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, you guys lying in bed at now you 389 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, you're going to getting ready 390 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: to do the big morning show, and you're scrolling through 391 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: your stuff and you get producers and but you're looking 392 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: for something to inspire you. What stops you to make yourself? 393 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about that. It's the same exact thing. 394 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: So if something stops me, I stop and really pay 395 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: attention to why did that? If that stops me, I 396 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: try to be in the mindset of I represent everybody, right. 397 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: It's not about like me having an ego. It's like 398 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: if I'm feeling it, my temperament for I hit record 399 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: or start and I'm representing everybody. My mindset as hot 400 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: as a play wide. So for me, the way people 401 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: like find me, they hit me on DM and I 402 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: look through every DM and I listen. We pay attention. 403 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: You got to be in the culture, right. I try 404 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: to be timeless about it, like I'm an og but 405 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: I try to be I try to be in the 406 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: culture by listening to I don't want to say younger people, 407 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: but people that are in it that I respect. If 408 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: you said to me if you pull me aside after 409 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: him and say, Charlie, I'm telling you my cousin Janey 410 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: just sent me something that's amazing, Like I haven't seen this. 411 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: I would like stop what I was doing and go 412 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: maybe go see her right now. It's like I'm like 413 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: that because like you're connected and you're not. You would 414 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: not normally say that to me unless you felt it right. 415 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: You just never know when great can happen at anytime. 416 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: So the idea is if you if there's greatness, it 417 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: somehow finds its way.

It was like, 520 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: you know, honestly, it was like a dream, bro, because 521 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: I've been in the game for a long time and 522 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: just on the outside look. And then that's one of 523 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: the people that I figured that was like somewhere else 524 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: that's out of space, you know what I'm saying. So 525 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: you speak on it. You know, if I named the 526 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: record Jermaine Dupre, I never thought I was gonna meet 527 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: Jermaine Dupri or anything. That's why I let y'all never bet. 528 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like y'all both be outside, like yeah, 529 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: but two different it's two different worlds completely, like he 530 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: and his group of people in the section may include 531 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: like who you want to just throw names around, all right, 532 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: and it's me and the homies not gonna It's not 533 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: gonna happen, you know what I'm saying. So it's just 534 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: great that it did. And it's like when I thought 535 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: I was gonna go to the NFL the NBA, I 536 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: used to look on the back of the cards and 537 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: look at people's birthday and see who would be in 538 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: the league when I got there, you know what I'm saying, 539 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: And like this, this is like that, just exactly like 540 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: that how I was working with currency. It's you know 541 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: what I was, Um, it's it's it's it's interesting because 542 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: I don't we never talked about songs like usually, I 543 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: talk about what we're gonna do prior to even making 544 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: a beat. He rolling up, I'm making a beat. I 545 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen. I don't even know if 546 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: he knows what's happening, but it just happened. We never 547 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: made one record where we talked about what we were 548 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: gonna do. It's just organically happened. So I felt like, 549 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, the first five records that I saw this happened, 550 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is this is what organic I 551 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: guess feels like it means. Right by the time we 552 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: got to ten, I'm like, oh, okay, this is this 553 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: is really something different than than what I usually. You know, 554 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: usually it's a process of like, we're gonna make a 555 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: song like this, and we need to make a record 556 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: like this, and we need to do this and put 557 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: this person on there. We ain't had none of them conversations, 558 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: but we got to that process at the end of 559 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: the songs. You know, currency you've been out for so long, 560 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: you put up so many records, and I feel like 561 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: the world is doesn't necessarily give you the credit you deserve. 562 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: And the same thing with yourself. JD. Do you have 563 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: that those kind Yeah, we don't have the conversation like 564 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: but but we just it's an understanding like you know 565 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: that that's why we do what we do. But we 566 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: also noticed and notice what you did. We just keep putting, 567 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: you know, putting the numbers up there. Work. I feel 568 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: like you have to do that when you're from the South, though, Yeah, 569 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: if you want, if you want people to if you 570 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: want that and you have to do that, yes, you 571 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If you just want to take 572 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: care of your family, pay the bills and ball out 573 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: on your own accord, then you don't have to do it. 574 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: Like I always say, like I still want to go 575 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: to Walmart and look for high wills and you know, 576 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: I want to go in a ferrari or something. So 577 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: I work hard enough to do that, you know what 578 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But I'm not worrying about the others that 579 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: come with it, because all the guys of noble always 580 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: be like, oh, I'm the king of New York hip hop. 581 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: Wayne didn't get into conversation, so he said he's the 582 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: best rapper. Yeah, Tia, I didn't get into conversation, so 583 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: he said he the king of the South. I feel 584 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: like when you're from the South, you have to say it. 585 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: You have to. You have to. You know, the South 586 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: always gets slighted. It just just what it is. It's 587 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: not a it's not an old no, we don't it's 588 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: a true fact.

If you're gonna slight Luke, They're 596 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: gonna always slight jamad debris because I'm saying I don't 597 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: think I did the parental advisory thing. I haven't done 598 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: anything that's that monumental too. This is this is forever 599 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: in hip hop. This was on your mixtapes.

But I didn't know. 639 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. So it's crazy because they put 640 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: this list out of executives. I think yesterday or whatever, 641 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: the thing was like the top ten CEOs, and somebody 642 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: was asking me, do I think I should be high 643 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: on the list, and I'm you know, I don't care 644 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: about that list, but I should be hired. But because 645 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure they did the exact same thing he's doing, 646 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: they not even factoring in half of the artists. That's 647 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: that's come from this tree that you speak up. But 648 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: history has to matter, right, because you know, you can't 649 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: have a mount Rushmore of Atlanta without JA. Yeah, but 650 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, so if Atlanta, if the way people real knew, right, 651 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna put the architects of New York on. You 652 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: gotta put the architects of Atlanta on. Yeah, I just 653 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: think that, you know, modern day Atlanta is so hip 654 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: hop and I was doing both, you know what I mean. 655 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: I got I'm responsible for a lot of R and 656 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: B that comes from Atlanta, and I'm responsible for a 657 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: lot of hip hop from Atlanta. And I feel like 658 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: the mind set them now when they talk about it, 659 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: CEO today, it's all hip hop. It's all hip hop. 660 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: So even in that space, people try to like, I 661 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,239 Speaker 1: didn't know you did, Anthony Hamilton, you know what I mean, 662 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: It's like you try to move out a lot of 663 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: the things and it's it's it's just a I think 664 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: it's just people just not living in the arrows or 665 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: just not knowing if you don't see me, because it's 666 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: crazy because I'm the only person that I feel like 667 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: if I put my tag on the record, they know, 668 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: but if I don't say nothing, I just try to 669 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: be straight CEO and just like I'm putting out records, 670 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: people don't ever mention me doing them songs. Projects like 671 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: this is something you feel like you got something to 672 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: prove what this project? Yeah? No, I mean I feel 673 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: like I feel like this, this project is really who 674 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: I am. This record, this project is really what where 675 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: I actually come from. This is rat this is what, 676 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: this is how I started. It's a reminder to let 677 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: people know that though, because I think, like I said, 678 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: when people start talking about Jamine the pre the first 679 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: name that come out of people with Mariah Carry or Usher. 680 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm a hip hop guy, you know what I mean. 681 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: I write songs, you know, with the gift that God 682 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: gave me. But I'm I'm from the hip hop world, 683 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: and that's what it did. All right. We got more 684 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: with Jermaine dupri and Currencies, So don't move. It's the 685 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: breakfast club the morning. I think everybody's DJ n V 686 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: Charlemagne the Guy. We are the breakfast club. We're still 687 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: kicking it with Currency and Jamaine Duprie. All right, what 688 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: makes you work with with new artists like we've seen 689 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: you did Division's album. What makes you say, you know what, 690 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna dive into some of the new artists that 691 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: are not mine as well. I mean that's how I always. 692 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's always, that's what I did always. I mean, 693 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: I Usher became a staple of mind because I did 694 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: the same thing as I did with Division. When I 695 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: did Usher, nobody you know us the face was gonna 696 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: drop Usher. It was like Jermaine either works, so all 697 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: of y'all it's out the door, like you know what 698 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: I mean. So it's like I've always been that guy 699 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: to just like y'all believe in the artists. I like 700 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: the artists. Let's go on the studio. I don't even 701 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: look at it like that. And I had to do 702 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: that at first. But then when I did R. Lennox 703 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: and her record went number one, I was like, why 704 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: am I not doing this for all these other artists 705 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: out here? They need it. It ain't even like a 706 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: thing that I'm doing for me. They need it. They 707 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: need somebody in the studio with them that can help 708 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: them take them to the next level. When you hear 709 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: the conversation, like when you hear him say Usher versus 710 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: Chris Brown in the verses, I think Chris is dope, 711 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: but I think Usher got nuclear weapons. I just think 712 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: it's a difference between the twenty Usher would come with 713 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: and the twenty Chris would come with. How do you 714 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: feel about that? I mean, I think it's like hip hop. 715 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: It's like currency, right, he got way more records than 716 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of people, Right. I think that's where people 717 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: look at it. They think about how many records Chris 718 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: has and how many times they hear him. You hear 719 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: Chris one hundred million times more than you hear Usher. 720 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: So I think that's where people start basing verses on. 721 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: You're speaking on songs. People don't even listen to songs 722 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: past thirty minutes. Right. I were watching my daughter player 723 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: record and the verse don't even get done. She don't 724 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: get through sixteen bars. She's going to another song. Right. 725 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: They don't measure the songs like you're saying. So I 726 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: feel like the young generation they all gonna say Chris 727 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: Brown because they're not measuring how big the songs are. 728 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: But if you're a song person, you know for sure 729 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: what's up. Yeah, So you think I should watching me 730 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: with I'm just saying, you know, if you're a song person, 731 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: having them songs as mine. So I'm fighting for my records. Yeah, 732 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 1: Now I want to ask currency to You've been independent 733 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: for a long time. Yeah, yeah, that break that back 734 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,959 Speaker 1: from my success, like really everything that anybody like really 735 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: like no, the bread. Anytime I got picked up money, 736 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: it was all through the independent thing. You're independent. You 737 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: have to do everything yourself. You have to play, pay producers, 738 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: pay clearances everything. Yeah, does that get tiring? No, I 739 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: got I got my home boy. You know what I'm saying, Musa, dude. 740 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: You know we like split everything. So it's easy as 741 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: long as you get out your own weight and handle 742 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: it and stop comparing yourself to other people in these situations, like, 743 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: just just do your work. When you look up, you 744 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you realize what you've done and 745 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: where you at. I was gonna ask you what made 746 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: you create? Just like the clothing brand?

We'll just do our own and keep 752 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: it in that vein of the stuff I missed and 753 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: that's what it works out for. Oh yeah, it's surprised 754 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: with the amount of support you get from the clobal 755 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 1: long Yeah, I see it everywhere like I have a model, 756 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: So I have a model.

So look, man, I am surprised 759 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: on places where I don't expect to see it. And 760 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: you could tell like that didn't know that they're having on. 761 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: It's not like some kid gave it to his mom 762 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: and she's a grocery store. I'm talking about people in 763 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: the note such as yourself. We have it on like 764 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: like Nas after he wins the Gramm. He's got the 765 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: Jet Life jacket on, and like a lot of them 766 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: had a freestyle that went everywhere and she had the 767 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: Jet Life letting them in jacket on. So it's like, 768 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: even though I'm not in those rooms, I'm still in 769 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: those rooms. It's tight because they know what I mean, 770 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,919 Speaker 1: you know, so they bring it everywhere whether they feel 771 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: like I should be at anyway. So it's tight. So 772 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 1: how'd you get a love for frontiture? I like the 773 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: chill and it's all about finding like comfortable chilling stuff. 774 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: So we're gonna make our own the same reason like 775 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: I didn't necessity, the same reason we did Jet Life clothing. 776 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like we need better stuff 777 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: to chill on. So I'm gonna feel the void. You 778 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: be sitting in the couch like this. I don't like 779 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: I don't like this. Mother, ye get them like, you 780 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 1: know what this not? This's not really kicking on. So 781 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: we're working on it. You know what made your name 782 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 1: the album? I mean the records. Well, it's a rivalry 783 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: between the Falcons and the Saints. This is a real thing, right. 784 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: For the longest, when we first started working, I was like, 785 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna do an album. Once we got 786 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 1: passed the first Sin songs, I kept thinking in my head, 787 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: if we're gonna do an album, we have to make 788 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: something that speaks to that rivalry because we ain't supposed 789 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: to be cool when that game come on, right, So 790 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: we can't act like we don't know this, Like this 791 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: is something that you know. If you're from Atlanta, you 792 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: know that. If you're from New Orleans, you know that, right. 793 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: So then we both start trying to find out why 794 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: it's a rivalry. But then it's also a love there. 795 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: It's a love that you know. If you're from Atlanta, 796 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: you talk about going to Essence Fest in January, it 797 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: don't happen till July. Right, this is something we prepare 798 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: for the top of the year. People like, yeah, you know, 799 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: they're getting their clothes ready in January to go to 800 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: New Orleans. And I feel like it's vice versa when 801 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: people come to Atlanta for the games from New Orleans. 802 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: They come out there and they have a good time. 803 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: They love the city. So it's a love hate situation. 804 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: I think the one thing that brings that love and 805 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 1: that hate together is the essence fest right. So it 806 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: was just only right. And then once we got to 807 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,280 Speaker 1: bounce the record, and it was to bounce in the vibe, 808 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: and he had never wrapped over a record like that. 809 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: Now that he's a full fledged professional artist, it just 810 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: made sense to bring all of that in and not 811 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: leave one piece of that out. I think brings every 812 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: piece of shut. The fact that the first time you 813 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: heard Get the gag, oh yeah, I heard it at 814 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: a party and that's when he first heard. So, you 815 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: know the way my mind work, I'm like, no, that's it. 816 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: The gabble dropped right now, that's the name. That's the 817 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,919 Speaker 1: name of it. Get. That's a New Orleans classic round Yeah. 818 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: I told him, like it's in the fiber of all 819 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: the music that ever came out after it from New artists. 820 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: Everybody who rapped has wrapped over that beat. Like the 821 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: first rap you ever wrote was over that, I promise. 822 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: Like in the club you ever been to, you could 823 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: have been eleven years old. They knew you could wrap. 824 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: That was the beat they put on for you, just 825 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: cana rap and you had to wrap over that straight up? Jad, 826 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: did you create one or six apart? Yeah? I mean 827 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, see the funny part about this is that 828 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a CEO, right, so this this goes 829 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: into the world of like what we're just talking about. 830 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 1: If you don't see jamn ain'ty pre working, you don't 831 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: see me doing what we gotta do, You're not gonna 832 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: believe anything that happens, right, Okay, So when I brought 833 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: the kids from the rap game, he remember this, He 834 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,439 Speaker 1: was like, nobody want to see no kids? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 835 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: out of here. Yeah. Because I'm saying that's that's what 836 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: That's what's happened, right, So that's the same thing that's 837 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: happened here. If you what I should say is JD congratulations. Again, 838 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: nobody says that. Don't want it said the same congratulations, 839 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: But I'm saying I say that to say that if 840 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have brought them here. Y'all saw the kids. 841 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: You've seen them from scratch before there was ever anybody 842 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: if you didn't see it, and nobody else, and people 843 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,399 Speaker 1: have forgot about that show at this point. And I said, 844 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: I created a TV show that introduced you to lotto. 845 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: Somebody would challenge that. Somebody would challenge you and say, no, 846 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: you didn't. So it's the same thing I saw MTV TRL. 847 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: I drive at I see all these kids outside on 848 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,959 Speaker 1: in Tom Square, and I'm like, damn, why black kids 849 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: don't have a show like this? Right meanwhile, I'm making 850 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: the Bow Wow record and I'm like, BT needs to 851 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: do this now. If they had this idea and they 852 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: mind prior to me saying this, then God blessed them. 853 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: But I'm saying, what artists was they gonna launch that 854 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: show with? Because I provided the artists that made that 855 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 1: show what that show became. It wasn't no Chris Brown 856 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: before Bow. It wasn't no Little Romeo before baut It 857 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: wasn't no littles. And I think somebody got mad at 858 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: me for saying the little because I disagree with that. 859 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,320 Speaker 1: It was a little kid. It was a little John. 860 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,360 Speaker 1: I don't generate. I'm clearing this up. I meant the 861 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: littles of his era, not the little John's. Yes, a 862 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: little person forever. I'm just saying, I'm talking about all 863 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: of little Romeos Zane like who I mean, I don't know, 864 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, these people that came that 865 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: bow lane. That's what I meant. But if people don't 866 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: realize that, you know, that's why people don't even understand 867 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: that I'm the one who gave Biwaw the name is 868 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: the one those six apart, BT didn't give him that name, 869 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: So why would I name him that, You know what 870 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,279 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, why would I put that in a 871 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: verse to say I missed the one those six in 872 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: part I didn't want the credit for one th six 873 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 1: and part right, I'm not even saying. I'm not speaking 874 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 1: on it now about me wanting the credit, but I 875 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: know that that's what happened. So people can take however 876 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: they want to take it. All right, we got more 877 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: with Jermaine dupri and currency, so don't move. It's the 878 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 1: breakfast Club in the morning. Morning, everybody's dj n V. 879 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We all the breakfast Club we're still 880 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: kicking it with Currency and Jermaine dupri Charlomagne, I don't 881 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,879 Speaker 1: understand you and all the relationship be Yeah, why don't 882 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 1: you just grab and put him in the headline, give 883 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: him a nugget and then y'all family. When he says 884 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: things like he regrets signing to you, it's like your 885 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: JD made you a superstar. You know. It's the same 886 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: thing I said. Kids up today and this generation of 887 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: hip hop, we have a lost appreciation for thing. And 888 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 1: that's why I said about being with currency. Everywhere I go, 889 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm seeing people don't have appreciation for hip hop and 890 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: that has become a thing in the hip hop now too. 891 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: I appreciate the things that came and got you to 892 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: this space. And because he was it was like it's 893 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: a father figure to him. Yeah, but I know he 894 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: was like his son. I feel like the outside world 895 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 1: makes you not appreciate that. That's what I'm saying. It's 896 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: that's what it does. It's it's the hip hop world 897 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: that we live in right now. Don't appreciate you for real. 898 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: Like when I wore the hot top fade the other 899 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: day in the video, right it's people on there that's 900 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: so much more concerned with me thinking that I want 901 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: to wear this at my age and saying I'm going 902 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: to a midlife crisis as opposed to looking at it 903 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: and saying that's what hip hop did. Right. Hip hop 904 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 1: may do any and everything, and we never had a problem. 905 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: We never questioned it. It was because it was hip hop. Now, 906 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: if you do something that hip hop makes you do, 907 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: or if you even try to, there's no appreciation for it. 908 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's what that is. And I feel 909 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: like Wow is in that space where he has to 910 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 1: deal with you guys, he has to deal with younger guys, 911 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: and the media definitely don't appreciate nothing until it's until 912 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: it's over with. But it's just certain people like I'm 913 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 1: never gonna fight with Right, and we can fight behind 914 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 1: the scenes. I'm never gonna fight with Clue, Right, That's 915 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: that's my brother. I'm never gonna fight with Fab. Even you, 916 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fight with you. You know, we could 917 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: get into an argument, but it just seems something else 918 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: was there, which is just hard to understand because I mean, 919 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: I don't fight that fight argue, you know what I mean? 920 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't. I mean I only I don't 921 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: reason to argue. I mean, I feel like I understand it. 922 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: I understand that's what I'm saying, But you don't understand 923 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: it because you haven't had to deal with a person 924 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: that has to go through this. This a rapper, right, 925 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 1: you're a rapper. You say this, you're a rapper, and 926 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 1: people challenge you. If you write your lyrics, people challenge 927 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: you on this, people challenge you on that. It's hard 928 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: for a person to actually deal with that if you're 929 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: not prepared for me, Like, I don't give a little 930 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: body will say about me because I know what I 931 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: do and I know I'm out doing everything the damn 932 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: that everybody else is doing, so I'm not even paying 933 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: no attention to it. But the majority of people, they 934 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: can't deal with it. That's why the instagram is where 935 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: the instagram is because every time somebody says something, people 936 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: are right, and that's I feel like that's where he is. 937 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 1: He gets caught up in that, and he's got caught 938 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: up in that a lot without me being around. He 939 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,320 Speaker 1: got caught up in that they created or what the 940 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: baou challenge. I wouldn't have part of that, right, How 941 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: do you deal with that as a person, he had 942 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: to deal with it and you killed him. Right, it's 943 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 1: just listening to it, you know what I'm saying. You 944 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it's like when a person 945 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: is dealing with that, they become they just get tight. 946 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: They want to you know what I mean. So then 947 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 1: you want to try to like make it seem like 948 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: you got it on you hand, you got it all 949 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: on you know, it's you got it, it's your it's 950 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: my thing. So it's like it's just a situation where 951 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta know how to deal with it. 952 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: And you don't get coaching by this. I didn't teach 953 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: him how to deal with that part of life, but 954 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: he asked to know. Somebody eventually gonna do that to 955 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: him too, and they do do it like people will 956 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: take away act has just always been on Instagram like Superstar. Yeah, 957 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying. There's no appreciation for 958 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,320 Speaker 1: anything in hip hop anymore. Damn you feel that we 959 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: currency to no as he's saying it, I'm peeping around 960 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: like that. That is, they just wipe that all out. 961 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 1: Do you feel like people don't have appreciation you hip hop? 962 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: I feel like appreciation for what brought what brought them 963 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: into it? Like what me? Did you want to do it? 964 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,879 Speaker 1: That's all? You know what I'm saying, It's not it's 965 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: not why why you want to do it? Everybody's doing 966 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: it now like the same reason everybody started selling friendship puppies, 967 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: like they just wanted to get money.

I'm like, I 977 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 1: don't know how this would actually look when you're reigning 978 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 1: these artists, like people gonna be the same way. I 979 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 1: was shocked, and I think I'm fun in the game. 980 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,880 Speaker 1: I know everything you know I was saying, but I 981 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: was like knocked on my ass. Yes, that's what it's 982 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 1: gonna be. A whole arena of people like, oh you 983 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 1: know he did? Oh wait, all right, well yeah, I 984 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 1: don't know. Goddamn you know like that that's what's gonna happen. 985 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 1: That's the way I see it, straight up. Like, I 986 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know how many records puffle bring 987 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 1: out that. I'm going back. I know that I think 988 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 1: I know every he did. I think I know it. 989 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: You know, So how do you feel about it, j 990 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: Because a lot of people don't, don't. I actually see it. 991 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 1: I see the chart, right, you know what I mean. 992 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: It's like, but like you said, it's not only the records, 993 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: it's also the what that record did for the culture, right, Yeah, 994 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: you know. I mean I was, like I said about 995 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,760 Speaker 1: the Chris Brown thing. I believe that in versus world 996 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: people won't give it to us because of the way 997 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 1: the mindset it's been, you know, been treated. We've done 998 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: that battle in him with kids, Like with kids like 999 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: like twenty five, twenty six, Usher Catalog still risk timeless 1000 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 1: to them because their parents were listening to us. Oh 1001 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,879 Speaker 1: I forgot about Oh I forgot about it. I didn't 1002 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: know seven o'clock get around. Yes, I mean I'm the underdog. 1003 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,240 Speaker 1: I'm not even tripping on that though I'm the underdog. 1004 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: That's not true though I'm not and that and that thing. Yes, 1005 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 1: it was the veggest card I think. Yeah, you know, 1006 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: everybody like the favor would be you know what he 1007 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,399 Speaker 1: would be, that he would be the underto I'm talking 1008 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: to me that people would haven't paid attention the No 1009 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,800 Speaker 1: they haven't. But that's what I'm saying. I'm not underdog 1010 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,319 Speaker 1: because it's like people who everybody they sit around, they 1011 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: say he can't match up, and they only talking about Big. 1012 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: That's it. How long I've been saying that. That's all 1013 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 1: he said. You just say big, he said rap. That's 1014 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: why I say this should be an R and B 1015 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 1: remix versus take out the Road because you can't beat 1016 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,439 Speaker 1: the biggest records because it not only because they're great 1017 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: records in nostalgia, BIG's immortal. Yeah, that's that's That's the 1018 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 1: only reason why people say he can't match up because 1019 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: they're talking about Big, Biggest Big. But I'm saying it's 1020 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: if it was a fight. I don't go into the 1021 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 1: fight thinking I'm not gonna get punched. You know what 1022 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's just when I throw mind and when 1023 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 1: he throw is that's what it is. It ain't about 1024 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 1: he got punches. I got punches too. You know what 1025 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying. It is what it is. Is it gonna 1026 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 1: happen for real? Or is it just talk? No, it's 1027 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's bigger than what people think. What we 1028 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 1: want to do is bigger than what what everybody's thinking about. 1029 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 1: And we want to make sure that you know it 1030 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: come across the way it's supposed to come acros. Y'all 1031 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: do it. You gotta do figure out how to do two, 1032 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 1: because you can't just do one in Atlanta, Atlanta, in 1033 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 1: New York. You gotta got to pick a neutral Locationlotte 1034 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 1: or something. You gotta do what you gotta do. Atlanta, 1035 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 1: gotta do Atlanta, you gotta do New York. You gotta 1036 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 1: do Apolo, And you gotta do R and B in remixes. 1037 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: Do R and B in one city, hip hopping another. 1038 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: And see the problem with the remixes. I saw somebody 1039 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 1: saying this the other day, Half a Bad Boy remixes. 1040 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 1: I didn't right to the Big Popper remix. I did 1041 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 1: it right right the Total and Keith Burry, I did 1042 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,719 Speaker 1: it right Total first record that ever came out, got 1043 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 1: brad On on it. Right, It's how do you score that? 1044 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: How do you score that? You gotta drop those out. 1045 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,360 Speaker 1: You can't drop them out, That's what I'm saying. It's like, 1046 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 1: you know, so you do the rema. But I saw 1047 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 1: somebody saying but in New York, we ain't played that 1048 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 1: JD remix, And I was like, oh, okay, my remix. Yes, 1049 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: we did the Biggie the Big Papa remix. Did I don't. 1050 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm seeing people say that on Twitter. 1051 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 1: But either way you do it, it's gonna be a 1052 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: fight whether we in New York or were in Atlanta. 1053 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 1: Either way, what came first? Was it we invented the 1054 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,280 Speaker 1: remix bad Boy album or the definition of a remix 1055 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 1: Social Death album. I think mine was coming first, and 1056 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know which one came out. Yeah, 1057 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 1: you know, I mean the remix thing has always been 1058 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: a battle between us. But it's interesting, like I said, 1059 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 1: because Puff was using me for remixes. It's not like 1060 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 1: I was challenged for him. Back then. It was like, 1061 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: go to Jad and get a remix for Big Papa. 1062 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,240 Speaker 1: Go to Jad and get a remix for a total. 1063 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: All right, we got more with Jermaine dupri and Currency, 1064 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,239 Speaker 1: so don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning. Yea, 1065 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: we are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking him with 1066 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,359 Speaker 1: Currency and Jermaine Duprix, Charlavage. I always wondered how much 1067 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: influence did you and Atlanta have on Big, because you know, 1068 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 1: we saw we saw y'all in Big videos, a lot 1069 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 1: of all Big in y'all videos, and I remember hearing 1070 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: somebody said Big. I think it was jails. Somebody said 1071 00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: Big was gonna move to Atlanta at one point. We're 1072 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 1: trying to everybody in Atlanta. I mean, well, I don't 1073 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: know about that, but he and I spoke, Me and 1074 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 1: him talk all the time because we was on tour, 1075 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 1: was Me, Bratt and Craig Mack. We was all on 1076 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: tour and we was doing like the Chitland Circuit, and 1077 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,360 Speaker 1: in that Chitland Circuit run, Craig Mack was the hottest, 1078 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 1: then Bratt and then Big, and Big was frustrated with 1079 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 1: the fact that his records weren't as popular as Functified 1080 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 1: and Flavoring at the time. And that's actually how I 1081 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 1: got to do the remix because Big felt like he 1082 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,840 Speaker 1: needed me to get into that space where Bratt was. 1083 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 1: The record was out during that time Juicy in New York, 1084 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,759 Speaker 1: the Chiland Circuit, the Chitland Circuit round where we lived 1085 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 1: at in Atlanta. It hadn't caught yet. So, like I said, 1086 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,960 Speaker 1: the flavoring you didn't functified. And then Juicy, I mean 1087 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: people with it, but they weren't head over hills and 1088 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 1: it was driving him crazy, and he talked to me 1089 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 1: every day about doing a remix, and I finally did 1090 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,480 Speaker 1: Big popa remix, and then that's when we did the 1091 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,720 Speaker 1: B side with him at Bratt. He came to Atlanta. 1092 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 1: And when he came to Atlanta, yeah, he probably you know, 1093 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,719 Speaker 1: because I brought him to College Park. He came to 1094 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,239 Speaker 1: my hood and did that song, so he probably soaked up. 1095 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,279 Speaker 1: I need to move out here. That's basically the same 1096 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,960 Speaker 1: thing that happens to everybody when they come out. There's 1097 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 1: one last day thing. You see what young Jock said 1098 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 1: about you and did he said? The difference between you 1099 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: and did he is that did he understands marketing? And 1100 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 1: that's what he got over well, I think he said 1101 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: that did he took his artist tree him as an 1102 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,799 Speaker 1: artist more serious than me. Um, he's right, I'm all 1103 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 1: about making a new artist. I'm all about putting Oh, 1104 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 1: I was all about putting out artists. You know, even 1105 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 1: like this this album, man Currency got. I'm rapping on 1106 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,359 Speaker 1: the record, but I'm not rapping all over the record, 1107 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 1: because you know what I mean. That's that's who I am. 1108 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 1: I'm a producer first, and I've always been that way, 1109 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,279 Speaker 1: and I think that that's you know, that's one thing 1110 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,160 Speaker 1: that he was saying. But even the jock was signed 1111 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,319 Speaker 1: and Social Death for one day before that Bad Boy 1112 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,120 Speaker 1: deal and Block and Block switched it and they went 1113 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,080 Speaker 1: to bad Wood. I didn't do that he signed. If 1114 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 1: he signed, I'm saying he was signed because the person 1115 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,720 Speaker 1: who produced the record was signed to me as a producer, 1116 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 1: signed the Social Defensive producers. So I wasn't even pressing 1117 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 1: because I'm like, I know this is my song. We 1118 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 1: was that virgin at this time. I'm like, I know 1119 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 1: this song is coming over here. It's easy, right, And 1120 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: I had already had the franchise. Well he's having all 1121 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 1: the success. I'm like, it's no way, possibly you don't 1122 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,360 Speaker 1: give us this record. If you find the first version 1123 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,759 Speaker 1: of It's Going Down, it says social deaf at the 1124 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 1: beginning of the record.

That's what it's. That's one 1138 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: of the other statements I said in the interview that 1139 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 1: people was like, jermin' it's all cap jaman, it's just 1140 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,680 Speaker 1: cat And I'm like, all right, listen. It was a 1141 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 1: time in New York when Southern rappers was not on 1142 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 1: the radio at one, two, three, four, or five o'clock 1143 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 1: in the afternoon.

We 1151 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 1: put Cameron Buster runs and we did everything to make 1152 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: sure that the South was, you know, represented well in 1153 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,359 Speaker 1: this town. And then the Young Blood's record, and these 1154 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 1: two records became so popular in New York alone that 1155 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 1: you heard them like there was Atlanta. To me, that 1156 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: was the beginning of all of these other records being 1157 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,360 Speaker 1: heard on the radio the way they heard today. And 1158 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 1: I remember they told JD they like me.

That's the only way 1161 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: that they were gonna spin it in the wo with 1162 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,359 Speaker 1: everybody's selling their catalogs. You think, y'all too whatever, think 1163 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,120 Speaker 1: about selling y'all.

They 1165 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,440 Speaker 1: call me with four hundred millions, all right, you know 1166 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,000 Speaker 1: how many generations of us are gonna be okay off 1167 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 1: this four hundred tickets? You know, maybe we'll do it. 1168 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,399 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm waiting for all my reversions, y'all. 1169 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,479 Speaker 1: Don't hear people talk about that much. But I'm waiting 1170 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 1: on mine because everything that came out of ninety two 1171 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: is coming back to me one hundred percent. Everything that 1172 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 1: came back in ninety three, ninety four is coming back 1173 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,120 Speaker 1: to me one hundred percent.

When they come back, when they come back, 1177 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 1: because you'll have a deal with Sony as a publishing situation, 1178 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: but the reversions, it comes back to me, and I 1179 00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 1: don't have a deal with them. So when the reversions 1180 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: come back and somebody walk up and they got that 1181 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,839 Speaker 1: ticket heat, and you know it might be it might 1182 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: be a conversation explaining that Jad because you've always been 1183 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 1: the CEO. So I didn't like, even with writers, you 1184 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,440 Speaker 1: have to give over some of the publishing now you 1185 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,560 Speaker 1: make you make a publishing deal when you were younger. 1186 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,240 Speaker 1: I made a publishing deal when I was like, what nineteen, 1187 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,279 Speaker 1: That's when that's when I got my money they gave me. 1188 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 1: You know, you give them million dollars. That's the first 1189 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 1: million dollars I got from that, Sony. It's like a 1190 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,839 Speaker 1: fifty fifty split publishing situation. I've been over there since 1191 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: I was nineteen, which is a long time. But you know, 1192 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 1: they get all the songs, so all the songs that 1193 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 1: you make, they go into this thing and you and 1194 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, I recoup two three times. Right. I could 1195 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: have left a bunch of times, but I stayed by 1196 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: the way when I started writing songs to hear that 1197 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 1: in twenty five years you get your reversions or whatever. 1198 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 1: I never even thought i'd make it that long. So 1199 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm here. I'm past that point at this 1200 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 1: point now. So now I'm like, come on, oh, last question, 1201 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 1: WV escape who opens up? You just heard that discussion 1202 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,360 Speaker 1: this week? Yeah, I heard it was pretty sticky. I 1203 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 1: went here for both of y'all. Think about on the 1204 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,800 Speaker 1: records they got if I was still if I was 1205 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 1: still like the front running mindset of escape. I would 1206 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:16,399 Speaker 1: have escape it open because the pain that they're gonna 1207 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: put in before you know, coming coming after escape is hard. 1208 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 1: They really can sing, right, so it's like, and I'm 1209 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 1: not saying as WV can't but oh yeah, I'm not 1210 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: saying they can't sing. I'm just saying I've always had 1211 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 1: that mindset. I've all always had that mindset about me 1212 00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 1: as an entertainer, like, let me go first, because I 1213 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 1: feel like it's harder for the person to figure out 1214 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 1: what they gotta do afterwards. I remember saying jay Z 1215 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 1: saying he went on after DMX one night and DMX 1216 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,279 Speaker 1: took his shirt off and he started pouring water on him, 1217 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 1: and he was backstage like, man, what the I'm gonna 1218 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:52,800 Speaker 1: do when I come out there? That is the mindset 1219 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: that you had right until you get out then and 1220 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 1: the crowd make it different, but put that pressure on 1221 00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 1: the person to make them sit back there and try 1222 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,319 Speaker 1: to out what they're gonna do when they come out. 1223 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 1: That's what I would do. Yeah, I think I think 1224 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 1: they should do different markets s WV, New York, certain 1225 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: areas I think they should close, but Atlanta escape out 1226 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:13,320 Speaker 1: of closing Atlanta yeah, I wouldn't even argue about it. 1227 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,600 Speaker 1: I just because I don't I personally feel like that 1228 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,680 Speaker 1: closing first thing. I feel like that's just all it's mental. 1229 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 1: I remember going to the Triple Threat concert and it 1230 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 1: was Albi sure BBD and I want to say, Bobby Brown, right, 1231 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,919 Speaker 1: I love all of them. BBD was busting Bobby Brown ass. 1232 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 1: You know for the time period that they came in, 1233 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: Bobby brought you know, he did he had to do 1234 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 1: and pulling up the rib. But I'm just saying them 1235 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 1: being where they were, it wasn't a bad slot. It's 1236 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 1: not a thing that I was thinking about, like, damn, 1237 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 1: BBD should have closed. They was killing it. I mean, 1238 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 1: poison was at the height and poison at the time 1239 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,880 Speaker 1: when I saw this, it felt like they should have closed. 1240 00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,120 Speaker 1: But you know, when Bobby came on and tender Roni 1241 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 1: and all these records came, when you realize why he 1242 00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,680 Speaker 1: was the closer, right, So I just feel like me, 1243 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: I look at that performance slot thing different.

Daniella Leiz is facing a 1289 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,959 Speaker 1: number of civil lawsuits in relation to the August twenty 1290 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:55,800 Speaker 1: nineteen crash and says Ovations Ontario Food Services should share 1291 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 1: liability now CTVS. Chris Simpson is joining us Now with 1292 01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:03,440 Speaker 1: more this story. Krista. Before the crash, Lees was at 1293 01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:07,200 Speaker 1: a concert Ricardo. The statement of claims says, among other things, 1294 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,360 Speaker 1: the company served her alcohol, didn't monitor how much she 1295 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,920 Speaker 1: was drinking, let her drink more than she should have, 1296 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,000 Speaker 1: and ejected her from the venue without making sure she 1297 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:20,080 Speaker 1: was not going to drive impaired. In October twenty twenty, 1298 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 1: Lees pleaded guilty to four counts of impaired driving causing 1299 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,840 Speaker 1: bodily harm, ultimately being sentenced to three years in prison. 1300 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:31,440 Speaker 1: Lee's lawsuit against Ovations Ontario Food Services says the crash 1301 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,600 Speaker 1: would not have happened if the company had not been negligent. 1302 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 1: You know I came up in an era when drinking 1303 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 1: and driving with a choice. Okay, you can drink, you 1304 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: can drive, you can drive. Are you can drink, but 1305 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,280 Speaker 1: you cannot do both. Okay, we had so many reminders 1306 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: not to drink and drive. You know, South Carolina had 1307 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: the Highway to dieways commercials. I don't know if they 1308 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 1: were national. I think they might have been national Virginia 1309 01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 1: had to drive sober or get pulled over, though one 1310 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,600 Speaker 1: might have been national too, I don't remember. But remember 1311 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 1: the buzz driving is drunk driving campaigns. I know the 1312 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,280 Speaker 1: Texas Texas had the faces of drunk driving ads. I mean, 1313 01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 1: don't drinking drive was literally drilled into our brains since 1314 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,920 Speaker 1: day one. Okay, not to mention this happened in twenty nineteen, 1315 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,640 Speaker 1: all right. The rideshare revolution has been happening for a 1316 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,919 Speaker 1: long time. Okay, the lifts, the Ubers of the world. 1317 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 1: There was somebody you could have called Dan Yellow. Now, 1318 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. We know that some bars can 1319 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,720 Speaker 1: be held liable when they know a person is intoxicated 1320 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 1: and they keep serving them. I don't know if this 1321 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 1: is one of those situations. Okay. The lawsuit is saying 1322 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 1: that they knew she was intoxicated, and did not train 1323 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 1: a supervised staff, serving alcohol, and put profit above safety. 1324 01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if all that is true. I don't 1325 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,760 Speaker 1: know if all that has proven. All I know is 1326 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 1: that in the drunk driving case, the primary defendant is 1327 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 1: the drunk driver. Okay, we live in a society where 1328 01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: nobody wants to be held accountable for their actions. It's 1329 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,439 Speaker 1: always somebody else's fault. She's better off saying the devil 1330 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 1: made me do it. Okay, if you're gonna blame somebody, 1331 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:09,160 Speaker 1: blame Satan, Lucifer Bezel, Bob Trump, whatever you call the devil, 1332 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 1: she might as well have put the blame on that 1333 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 1: evil entity, because all that is more believable and makes 1334 01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 1: more sense. But at the end of the day, we 1335 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 1: are all accountable for ourselves, simple as that. Accountability breeds responsibility. 1336 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:27,000 Speaker 1: So whatever you see someone doing something as irresponsible as 1337 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 1: Daniella did, it's because she's probably a human who has 1338 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:34,000 Speaker 1: never been held accountable for anything she's ever done in 1339 01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,240 Speaker 1: her life. Okay, that three is in prison she's serving 1340 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 1: right now is the first time she's probably ever been 1341 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:43,600 Speaker 1: held accountable for her actions. And of course she doesn't 1342 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 1: want to take full responsibility. Well, kids, always remember ninety 1343 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,440 Speaker 1: nine percent of all failures come from people who have 1344 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:55,320 Speaker 1: a habit of making excuses. Safe to say, Dan Yellow 1345 01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 1: falls under that ninety nine Please let Ruby mind give 1346 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:03,000 Speaker 1: Dan Yellow leise the bigga see hall heh heh, you 1347 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: stupid motherfuck? Are you dumb? All right? Well, thank you 1348 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 1: for the donkey today. Because the Breakfast Club, Good morning, 1349 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Power one O five one, the Breakfast Club, 1350 01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,720 Speaker 1: Your mornings will never be the same an angry outburst 1351 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:23,960 Speaker 1: or like lose your temper while you're fasting, or like 1352 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 1: spoils your fast. You know, it's really just about like 1353 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,920 Speaker 1: going from the inside out. And I do want to 1354 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,280 Speaker 1: say that I think this year is also like really 1355 01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 1: significant because yesterday we just commemorated the twenty year anniversary 1356 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 1: of the US invasion of Iraq. And having that also 1357 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,600 Speaker 1: kind of come into this moment from some woman's day, 1358 01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,760 Speaker 1: I think it's so powerful because, you know, the war 1359 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 1: on Iraq, I think is like the biggest modern day 1360 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 1: example of how devastating media misrepresentation can be for communities 1361 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,880 Speaker 1: like ours, like minorities that are underrepresented. When we allow 1362 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,160 Speaker 1: other people to tell our stories or speak on our 1363 01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 1: behalf like they did with Iraq for example. You know, 1364 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,160 Speaker 1: we're saying that they had these weapons of mass destruction 1365 01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:07,800 Speaker 1: that we had to go in and, you know, like 1366 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,360 Speaker 1: save the world from and lo and behold. Obviously one 1367 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,440 Speaker 1: of the biggest blunders in American history. There were no 1368 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:17,320 Speaker 1: weapons of mass destruction, and we ended up going into Iraq, 1369 01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: the home of one of the oldest modern civilizations and 1370 01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 1: the history of mankind, and completely obliterating the country based 1371 01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:28,240 Speaker 1: on total misinformation. And a lot of that misinformation was 1372 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,200 Speaker 1: representing Muslim women as being oppressed and we had to 1373 01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 1: go in there and rescue them. We had to go 1374 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,200 Speaker 1: in there and liberate them and save them. And I 1375 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 1: started Muslim Girl because it's our way of talking back 1376 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,880 Speaker 1: that we show Muslim women have a voice of our own. 1377 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 1: There's no such thing as being a voice for the voiceless. 1378 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,600 Speaker 1: It's about empowering people to use their voices for themselves, 1379 01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, like who gets to tell our stories? Who 1380 01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 1: who gets to hold the pen? What about action? Though 1381 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 1: you're a time of person, you actually went out there 1382 01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:58,919 Speaker 1: ran for Congress. I feel like sometimes this generation only 1383 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 1: wants to be on social media and it's just words. 1384 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,680 Speaker 1: I don't think so, you know, I think I think, 1385 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:09,040 Speaker 1: especially when you're born into it, it's really powerful to 1386 01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: have that fluency. You know, Like modern technology today is 1387 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: its own language. And a lot of people talk about 1388 01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 1: like armchair activism. Right You're like you're sitting at home, 1389 01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:21,440 Speaker 1: you're tweeting about things whatever or whatever. But all those tweets, 1390 01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,440 Speaker 1: all the shares, all all the things that you really 1391 01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 1: talk about online. That shifts public opinion, and public opinion 1392 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 1: is powerful, you know. Public opinion is what decides if 1393 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna do, like publicly support going to war with 1394 01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,000 Speaker 1: a country that we've never even heard of before, people 1395 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,400 Speaker 1: that we've never even met before. Public opinion is what 1396 01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 1: decides if we're going to really give a damn about 1397 01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:42,880 Speaker 1: human rights. Public opinion is what's going on right now 1398 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,120 Speaker 1: with with what's happening with Trump. I mean we're also 1399 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 1: talking about today Trump might get indicted. He might become 1400 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 1: the first president in American history to get indicted. I 1401 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,560 Speaker 1: think that happens. You don't think it's happening. No, I 1402 01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 1: don't think this country will. I would truly know how 1403 01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 1: to punish that level of whiteness and that level of privilege. Yeah, 1404 01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 1: and I don't if if he ever dug it and 1405 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,479 Speaker 1: diet it won't be potty charged in New York maybe 1406 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,120 Speaker 1: maybe Georgia. Yeah, you know, I still think Merritt Garland 1407 01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 1: should be first, you know what I mean, But I 1408 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 1: don't I don't see you maybe though, you never know. 1409 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,640 Speaker 1: How you talked about Islamophobia, right, Is it gotten better? 1410 01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 1: Is it gotten worse from the last time we spoke 1411 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 1: to you? Good question. I think that when you don't 1412 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,840 Speaker 1: have a psycho like Trump in office, it kind of 1413 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 1: makes people feel like the urgency isn't there anymore. You know, 1414 01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 1: when you have someone literally launching a Muslim band and 1415 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 1: sing an entire group of people can't enter the country, 1416 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 1: obviously it's gonna you know, flare off like the alarm bells, right, 1417 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 1: And then when you have a president like Biden in office, 1418 01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,400 Speaker 1: it kind of makes people think like everything's cool again 1419 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,840 Speaker 1: and all of that. But I think what Trump taught 1420 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,720 Speaker 1: us is that the hate is there. Minorities have been 1421 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 1: talking about this for generations, that racism exists, you know, 1422 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 1: like we didn't need a racist to come into office 1423 01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,040 Speaker 1: to prove that to anybody. But what he did was 1424 01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 1: really let it come out and the open now it's 1425 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,440 Speaker 1: just going back underground again. Doesn't mean it's not there, 1426 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,800 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it does not still nely to be addressed. 1427 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 1: Absolutely does. Um is making his way up to New 1428 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,080 Speaker 1: York right now because they think that they're god about 1429 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,440 Speaker 1: to get into bad. Yeah, they have what is they 1430 01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,439 Speaker 1: having a drive through? What's like a drive to They're 1431 01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 1: gonna be driving from Long Island the mega cars. There's 1432 01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 1: hundreds of them. They're gonna be driving from Long Island 1433 01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,439 Speaker 1: out to think. What made me think about it is, Uh, 1434 01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,320 Speaker 1: every time I see a movie or they talk or 1435 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 1: they talk about nine to eleven, I just wonder how 1436 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:34,120 Speaker 1: crazy does it get for you? Because I think TMZ's 1437 01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,200 Speaker 1: doing a fifth Plane movie and they talk about the 1438 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,320 Speaker 1: fifth plane that was hijacked and nobody talks about And 1439 01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 1: I was wondering, damn, every time that comes up, there 1440 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,080 Speaker 1: is it you get stairs when you go to the airport, 1441 01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,519 Speaker 1: do you feel like they pull you to the side, 1442 01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:48,439 Speaker 1: Like does it get worse every time? Oh? My god, yeah, 1443 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,760 Speaker 1: especially like when you're living in New York. For me, 1444 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 1: most of my life, like the anniversary of nine to 1445 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,799 Speaker 1: eleven was like all right, I gotta wrap my headscarf 1446 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:57,760 Speaker 1: for different ways so that people don't realize that it's 1447 01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,679 Speaker 1: like a Muslim scar I gotta like hot, of course, 1448 01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:04,880 Speaker 1: like it's it's scary, It gets really scary. And you know, 1449 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,360 Speaker 1: even with like the group chat with my friends, like 1450 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,080 Speaker 1: guys like you know, be on alert. You know, every 1451 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:13,240 Speaker 1: time there's like a mass shooting in the news, we 1452 01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 1: all collectively hold our breath praying that it's not a 1453 01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,559 Speaker 1: Muslim because we know that we're all going to pay 1454 01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 1: the price for it. Meanwhile, obviously, like the number one 1455 01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, profile of like mass shooters are like white man, 1456 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,040 Speaker 1: yeah exactly, and like they like you don't see the 1457 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,320 Speaker 1: collective paying the price for that. You don't even see 1458 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,799 Speaker 1: like the government making any moves to address that. Meanwhile, 1459 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,200 Speaker 1: like you know, nine to eleven happened, and ever since, 1460 01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:38,680 Speaker 1: we have to take off our shoes when we walk 1461 01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,640 Speaker 1: into the airport, you know. And also I think a 1462 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 1: huge part of it too is just the way that 1463 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,600 Speaker 1: we're represented, you know, like you when you think of 1464 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,080 Speaker 1: the idea of like who these hijackers are, what a 1465 01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 1: terrorist is, they're men that look like my father, my brothers, 1466 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:56,040 Speaker 1: my cousins. You know, like people that are just stereotyped 1467 01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:59,800 Speaker 1: and grouped into one huge monolith. And when you do that, 1468 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,840 Speaker 1: that's how you can dehumanize an entire population of people. 1469 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:04,920 Speaker 1: Was still kicking with a Monnie, So don't move. It's 1470 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:10,400 Speaker 1: to breakfast Club. Good morning, Armagna. We all to breakfast Club. 1471 01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 1: We're still kicking with a Monnie. Charlomagne. Well, we all 1472 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:16,160 Speaker 1: get excited when we see ourselves represented in the arts, right, 1473 01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:20,439 Speaker 1: like TV film, I wondered for you, did Miss Marvel 1474 01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,599 Speaker 1: do anything for you? Being you know, set in Jersey. 1475 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:29,240 Speaker 1: First of all, I am this Marvel brown Jersey girl 1476 01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,960 Speaker 1: with superpowers. Okay, but yeah, I mean it was really 1477 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,200 Speaker 1: cool because Muslim Girl became the first Muslim media to 1478 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,560 Speaker 1: ever cover a Marvel red carpet when we covered the 1479 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,360 Speaker 1: premiere of Miss Marvel. So it was like a really 1480 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,519 Speaker 1: beautiful full circle moment. And I think that those are 1481 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,600 Speaker 1: the stories we need to see. Are you kidding me? 1482 01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 1: Do you know what impact that would have had on 1483 01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,320 Speaker 1: me growing got if I saw a Marvel superhero that 1484 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 1: I could resonate with and connect with. Actually, there was 1485 01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,719 Speaker 1: this really interesting conversation that I had with Seanda Rhimes 1486 01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,519 Speaker 1: about Gray's anatomy, and she was talking about how that 1487 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:04,880 Speaker 1: showing these diverse women of color within the medfield, it 1488 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,840 Speaker 1: directly correlated with like a skyrocketing of women of color 1489 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,320 Speaker 1: entering into medicine, you know, and like studying that. So 1490 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:16,360 Speaker 1: just think the effect it has when Muslim girls, for example, 1491 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,760 Speaker 1: only ever see your reflection of themselves in the media 1492 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 1: as oppressed as victims, as tortured, as angry as terrorists. 1493 01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,960 Speaker 1: You know, imagine what happens when you see a positive 1494 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,920 Speaker 1: reflection of yourself in the media around you. What that 1495 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,320 Speaker 1: can do as a society. Now I see on the 1496 01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:33,679 Speaker 1: sheet that says you blame Charlemagne for the worst first 1497 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 1: date ever? God, what happens? That's what it says. When 1498 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,360 Speaker 1: the see says, why do you blame Charlemagne for the 1499 01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,559 Speaker 1: worst first date ever? This is gonna take me out 1500 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:47,040 Speaker 1: of by Ramadan vibes right now. I don't know, I 1501 01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:51,599 Speaker 1: don't know.

She 1562 01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,040 Speaker 1: was actually the Senator from Malaysia and she was the 1563 01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 1: only awardee that was given the chance to like share 1564 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,519 Speaker 1: some remarks and to see her, you know, stand out 1565 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:22,240 Speaker 1: of her her wheelchair to speak in front of the 1566 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,120 Speaker 1: first Lady and the Secretary of State blinken and start 1567 01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:28,200 Speaker 1: her speech with a Salama lacom speA ponio.

Do you feel like 1569 01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 1: that administration is doing enough for Muslims? Of course not, Yeah, 1570 01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 1: definitely not. When I think about how the last administration 1571 01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,080 Speaker 1: did all out of salt on Muslims, I feel like, 1572 01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:41,760 Speaker 1: you know that that that pushback against that should be 1573 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,400 Speaker 1: just allowed from the new administration. I don't even think 1574 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 1: they do enough to protect the people who worship in Congress. 1575 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,439 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I mean, we're literally seeing attacks on 1576 01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,920 Speaker 1: Congress right now that really just parallel the silencing happening 1577 01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:56,519 Speaker 1: on a mass scale. I mean, look at what happened 1578 01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:00,920 Speaker 1: to congresswoman and hand Omar, first African born congress person 1579 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,679 Speaker 1: for Sumali born, and she was on the Foreign Affairs Committee, 1580 01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:08,679 Speaker 1: and the Republicans removed her literally probably like the most 1581 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 1: useful voice that we have in the government to sit 1582 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:13,200 Speaker 1: on a committee like that, and now like the entire 1583 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,040 Speaker 1: committee looks like, you know, just like the same white 1584 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 1: man over and over and dun and who scroll there 1585 01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,400 Speaker 1: like committee page. You know, I think what's really important 1586 01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,479 Speaker 1: is for our communities to come together, you know, like 1587 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:26,680 Speaker 1: I'll never forget when the Muslim band started, Right, I'm 1588 01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:28,439 Speaker 1: thinking about this a lot as we reflect on like 1589 01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,080 Speaker 1: the war in Iraq and how the cycle repeats itself, 1590 01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:33,519 Speaker 1: you know, how, like how what happened with Georgia Liebhich 1591 01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 1: repeated itself with Trump for my community. And I was 1592 01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,439 Speaker 1: in this group chat with like all the American Muslim 1593 01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,840 Speaker 1: leaders from like national organizations and stuff like that, and 1594 01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,160 Speaker 1: as soon as the Muslim band happened, they're all like texting. 1595 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,200 Speaker 1: One of the first texts was like where are our 1596 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,800 Speaker 1: black brothers and sisters? We need them to stand with 1597 01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,200 Speaker 1: us right now and stuff like that. And you know, 1598 01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:53,519 Speaker 1: my immediate thought was, well, Mike Brown just got shot 1599 01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:56,240 Speaker 1: a few years earlier, Like where was the Muslim community 1600 01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,040 Speaker 1: to stand with our black brothers and sisters at that time?

If they 1665 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,639 Speaker 1: haven't talked about anything like that. He's probably just exploring 1666 01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 1: other ways to be creative.
