Speaker 5: it really just I was the first artist on deaf Jam.

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,560

45
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,880

47
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 5: Rick liked it, and we ended up forming the label

48
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 5: deaf Jam. And I was the flagship artist, and it

49
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 5: was Russell Simmons Rick Rubin and myself.

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: You had you known that? I mean you zero idea,

Speaker 3: there's something here now?

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 5: You say that way before you make the music the song.

57
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 5: That's like an after like that's the end, like you say,

58
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 5: I know there's something here. When you become a huge fan,

59
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, and you start writing your

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 5: music and you start creating, you know, art, and you

61
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 5: know what that that wave of hip hop first hit me,

62
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 5: so you get right on it.

63
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: So it's way you know what I'm saying.

64
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 5: So everything that you're seeing now today where you're like, oh,

65
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 5: hip hop's so big and so many people are doing

66
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 5: so much, well, in my mind, it was already that big,

67
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Because I started, I was

68
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 5: like first generation fans. So when hip hop first started,

69
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 5: there was a boom around the five you know, the

70
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: Five borough especially in the Bronx obviously, but there was

71
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 5: a boom around the Five boroughs. I was getting those

72
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 5: tapes because I was in Long Island, you know what

73
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: I'm saying even though I was I was raised in Queens,

74
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 5: I also was.

75
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: In Long Island and the kids the next door to

76
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 2: me were forced to kids.

77
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 5: So he had tapes coming in from the Bronx, and

78
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 5: so I'm hearing all this stuff early.

79
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

80
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,520

Speaker 6: Well, No, hearing you talk about being part of deaf Jam,

104
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 6: even I guess before the creation of deaf Jam is

105
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 6: like hearing when people talk about, oh, Apple started in

106
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 6: my garag. This is crazy, And I don't think people

107
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 6: are gonna have that opportunity anymore to do something like that.

108
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: But that's not true. There's always an opportunity to build

109
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: something great.

110
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: Dreams don't have deadlines, you know what I'm saying, So

111
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 5: there's always gonna be There's always gonna be a new

112
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 5: opportunity to do something great, you know. But my life

113
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 5: is full of a lot of first like you know,

114
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 5: like I coined like the term goat that everybody like

115
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 5: I coined that in two thousand my album was called

116
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 5: Goat and you know, and I didn't now had I

117
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: known men?

118
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: Now that's a hat.

119
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 5: I known men. I didn't trademark that. That is a

120
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 5: had to know. I gotta give you that one you

121
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: know what I mean, We're gonna swap that out for

122
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 5: the death jail idea. And so to see that goat

123
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 5: in the popular culture the way it's going and kind

124
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 5: of spread into other areas and just become like synonymous

125
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 5: with excellence is an amazing thing to see, you know

126
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 5: what I mean.

127
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: One of so, Froggy is in Jacksonville Froggy. His goat is,

128
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: of course Tom Brady.

129
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: Tom Brady.

130
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: Had you known him back then, Tom Brady will be

131
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: involved with the word goat.

132
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 7: He should have to pay l every time somebody calls

133
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 7: him the goat. But absolutely ll let me ask you

134
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 7: who is the goat? Is it Jordan, is it Brady?

135
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 7: Or is it you?

136
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: I think you can.

137
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 5: I think it's subjective, and I think you can have

138
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 5: goats in many fields, and I think you can have

139
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 5: people that are on top of their game in many

140
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 5: many fields.

141
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

142
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: I mean, that's the real answer. And in art, we

143
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 5: know it's subjective, you know what I'm saying. We know

144
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: that people have to decide who they love. But at

145
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 5: the end of the day, icon the term, you know

146
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, And I just want to I just

147
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 5: want to be clear about that. You know, whether you

148
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 5: think I am or not, you know what I mean?

149
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 6: Try to trademark this? Is it even possible anymore?

150
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Up? Good luck? I mean you could probably get something, but.

151
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: You know you'll be retired like twenty times over.

152
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: No.

153
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 5: No, because I do what I love. I don't know

154
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 5: if I want to. If I was doing it for money,

155
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 5: I would have retired a long time ago. You were saying,

156
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 5: I'm doing it because I love it? So what is next? Then?

157
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: Because you've done I feel like you've done everything.

158
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: This record, this record is next.

181
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: Of course from Long Island? But when you come to

182
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: New York City? What is it about the energy of

183
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: this city that's so different than any other place on Earth.

184
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 5: For you because you're meeting so many different cultures and

185
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 5: so many different types of people. Like this is a

186
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: place where it doesn't matter where you're from. You could

187
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 5: be the mind erect, the Herald closet, the fat this morning,

188
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 5: and you still gotta walk next to you know what

189
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 5: I'm saying, People that are living everyday lives and blue

190
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 5: collar people.

191
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: So you know, New York is full of all kinds.

192
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 5: But I think the thing about New York is that

193
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 5: you know, like like during the pandemic. I got the

194
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 5: opportunity to travel around the city anonymously. I don't get

195
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 5: to do that a lot. So I had, you know, sorry,

196
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 5: I had a mask on. I had, you know what

197
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 5: I'm saying, my hoodie on. And I'm running around and

198
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 5: I went to like the projects, and I was on

199
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 5: the subway on but different subway cars going all over

200
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: the city. I was on different public you know, transportation

201
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 5: and doing things. And you you'll be surprised at how

202
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 5: quickly you forget what's going on in the real world,

203
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: and how you can be in a bubble even when

204
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 5: you don't know it because you're jumping in your uber

205
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: because you're going to do your lunch, because you just

206
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 5: jumping in your car going to get your coffee.

207
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

208
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 5: So you you like getting that opportunity, you realize how

209
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 5: real the city is and how much fabric, how much

210
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 5: energy is in the actual streets of the city, you

211
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So, and that inspired the song

212
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: thirty Decembers on the record. So it's like all of

213
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 5: those kinds of things are the things that make it

214
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 5: exciting to being New York man.

215
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's New York Baby, there's two sides to

216
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: New York City. There's a side where it's bigger than you,

217
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: It's bigger than all of us. It's the other side

218
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: is the other side of this is if you conquer

219
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: it here, how big does that make you?

220
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: Like? How important? How important is that? Well? You know,

221
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, it's well Listen.

222
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 5: Making your dream come true as an art form, right

223
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 5: like being able to you know, take a kernel of

224
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 5: a dream and turn it into a reality is not

225
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 5: something that is easy to do. But if you can

226
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 5: do it here, you know, in a lot of ways,

227
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 5: it's even more opportunity because you find different types of people.

228
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 5: So it's in a way you can kind of find

229
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 5: your niche in this city if you believe in it.

230
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 5: You just can't. You just have to be comfortable in

231
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 5: your own skin in terms of what you're looking to do.

232
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 5: You can't be swayed by what other people say you're

233
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 5: supposed to be doing.

234
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

235
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: I get goosebumps listening to because I always come in

236
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: here saying like because I'm from New York, I'm from

237
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: the Bronx, And I say it doesn't matter how long

238
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: I've been here still walking around the city. I think

239
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: this place is insane, and I always think the same thing,

240
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: like all different people from all over the place is

241
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 3: what makes this place tick.

242
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: And the fact even when they look at you like

243
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: you're dirt, you know what I mean?

244
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: You look at this dirt standing next to me and

00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 5: we're disgusting dirt dirt mound.

Speaker 1: I mean, it is your fortieth year in hip hop,

283
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: and it was that, of course, that was on your

284
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: mind when you went into the studio with with your thoughts,

285
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: with your spirit and with all these people with you.

286
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: What is this? What is It's the dumbest question in radio.

287
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask the question, what's this album all about?

288
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: For you?

289
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 5: So so the album is basically it's it's it's a cookout,

290
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 5: but everybody's invited. It's like the blackest album in the world.

291
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 5: But the thing is you're all invited and you can

292
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 5: all come and experience the force in a way that

293
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 5: you could be a fly on the wall. And I

294
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 5: talk about all the fun though it's not preachy. It's not.

295
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 5: There's all different moods on it. There's aggressive songs, there's

296
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 5: dangerous songs, there's sexy songs, song called proclivities. There's a

297
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 5: lot of different styles of music on it and vibes,

298
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 5: but there's you know, there's everything from murder Graham to

299
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 5: like it's it's really an album that is just about

300
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 5: cultural impact and you you know, like like I give

301
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 5: you an example, like thirty Decembers, I said, I came

302
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 5: up off the street, took some pissy steps up to

303
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 5: the belly of the beasts, which way I go kind

304
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 5: of confusing. The machines are not working. They ain't no

305
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 5: tokens or nothing. This thing that changed over a sudden.

306
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 5: It's like I died and came back different places and

307
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 5: faces on their phones and computers.

308
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: No one is reading the papers, so.

309
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 5: There's all kinds of just different types of songs that

310
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 5: deal with different layers of of you know, life.

311
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. We talk about proclivities that yeah, okay,

312
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: well proclivities is you know, we all have it.

00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: but not yet, okay, now yet, let's talk about.

330
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: Last. Daniel was saying earlier.

331
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen you act, We've seen you host,

332
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: you hosted the iHeart Radio Music Yes Awards or Festival one.

333
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: It was he it was he watch a.

334
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: Couple of wars ago, and then you get into the studio.

335
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: Where's your first love? My first love is creating music,

336
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. My first love is making

337
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: hip hop. I mean I do the hosting and all

338
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: that because I love to be close to music. I

339
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: only took the only reason I took time off it

340
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: kind of I might. I kind of heard you say

341
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: something earlier. But you can't be a part time artist.

342
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: You have to be fully committed.

343
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 5: So I had made an album a while ago, but

344
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,239
Speaker 5: you know, about ten eleven years ago, but it was experimental.

345
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 5: I was doing the show, I was doing NCIS, I

346
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 5: was doing all this other stuff, and it just it

347
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 5: felt phoned in unintentionally, but it felt phoned in to me.

348
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 5: So my first love is hip hop. But you got

349
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: to have the time to do things correct, to do

350
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 5: it well, you know what I'm saying, to really be

351
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 5: aggressive and get it done.

352
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: So give me the quote again. Being an artist is

353
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: not it.

354
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 5: Oh make it dreams come true as an artful or

355
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 5: be an artist is not a part time jar time.

356
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 5: You can't be a part time artist. You got to

357
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 5: be all the way committed to it. You know what

358
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 5: I'm saying I love that.

359
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: Whatever you're doing in life, whatever you're passionate about, give it,

360
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: give it your own what up frog?

361
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

362
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 7: So with Ella Ella, with the you know, Shibboozi had

363
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 7: a number one song and jelly Roll bringing kind of

364
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 7: the hip hop influence in the country, and Beyonce has

365
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 7: been involved in country Morgan Wallen and Little Dirk. Have

366
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 7: you thought of ever getting involved into the country world

367
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 7: at all?

368
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me tell you so.

369
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 8: Man.

370
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 5: You know, I already had a far way into that

371
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 5: and it was like a complete and total disaster like that.

372
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: I don't even want to get into it. I can't

373
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: even say it on that way. No, I can do it.

374
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: Y'll broke, Y'll bro Already I played myself terribly. So

375
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna back up. I'm gonna back up

376
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 5: off that. I'm not saying that could never ever I

377
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 5: have no I'm cool with country some of them. I

378
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 5: love it live. It's a great music live. I have

379
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 5: no issues with it. But for right now, I'm gonna

380
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 5: do this hip hop. Yeah, I think I say focused

381
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 5: on the hip hop.

382
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: Man.

383
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 7: It's changed so much though, I mean, country has changed

384
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 7: a lot in the last five years. The the hip

385
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 7: hop influence can be seen throughout country very deeply now,

386
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 7: much more than it was probably when you tried it

387
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 7: back in the day.

388
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 5: Yeah that's that's absolutely true. But one thing that hasn't

389
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 5: changed is the fact that I'm gonna stay with this

390
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 5: hip hop.

391
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: That's who has it. See. But but I feel you though,

392
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: you know, I do feel you. I feel you. I

393
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: likes Cowboy Hat. Yeah, I like the hat a lot.

394
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. He's not backing out of this.

395
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 6: I have so many questions about what happened?

396
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: Was that the song?

397
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 6: Was it the promotion? What was it?

398
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: It was the song?

399
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,040

Speaker 5: around telling people about this album. Straight up, that's what

414
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 5: I'm doing. I'm running around New York telling people about

415
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. I damn they got picking

416
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 5: signs up. I ain't playing all right, you know what

417
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 5: I'm saying. And man, it's running around New York talking

418
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: about this album.

419
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: So okay, talk, Let's talk about us who we've been

420
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: listening to. We've been listening to you for years. Thank you.

421
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: You know before you got here, I played I Need Love. Yeah. Yeah,

422
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: we've been listening to you for years. But you have

423
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: new new people turning you on for the very first time.

424
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 5: And that's the beauty of it, right, Like, that's the

425
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 5: that's the whole idea is like, you know, it's kind

426
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 5: of like sports, right, like Tom and Brady in sports

427
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: is you get new fans, you introduce new people.

428
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: That That's what I wanted to show.

429
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: Was possible because seeing hip hop a lot of times

430
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 5: because the genre is relatively young. See people, hip hop

431
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: is fifty years old, now fifty one, right, people think that,

432
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 5: oh that's a long time until you have somebody transition

433
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 5: at fifty one and then you say, you know what,

434
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 5: that's not so old. So the genre is actually not

435
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 5: that old. So it's like, you know, for me, what

436
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 5: we're used to doing this. We used to artists going

437
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 5: and leaving and never making any more impact. Ever again,

438
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 5: we just kind of used that. We've been kind of

439
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 5: it's been ingrained in us that you can't continue on.

440
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 5: But I was just just saying with the Stones at

441
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 5: their concert, you know what I'm saying, watching them and

442
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 5: I'm like, you know, I'm looking at Mick do his thing.

443
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 2: I'm you know, looking at Bruce Springsteen do his thing.

444
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 5: I'm looking at different artists that go all the way

445
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 5: and do their thing, and it's like that can be

446
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 5: done in hip hop as well. You know what I'm saying.

447
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 5: It's just the matter. We're just not accustomed to what happening.

448
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 5: So that's that's my goal. That's why I'm doing this.

449
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 5: And you know what I'm saying, I'm showing people that

450
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 5: you can really do this at a high level, not

451
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 5: just putting you know, mediocre war albums out.

452
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm really, you know

453
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, doing this, you know, so.

454
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 10: With with all the collapse you have on this album,

455
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 10: especially with all of the you know these legendary artists

456
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 10: as well, right, and you all have different styles, how

457
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 10: do you all work together together in the studio and

458
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 10: see how the cadence is going to go in the rhymes?

459
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: So so, first of all, and I picked everybody all

460
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 5: of the different features on this record is because of

461
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 5: the sound of the music. When going q Tip from

462
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 5: a child Cold Quest who just got inducted to the

463
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 5: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

464
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 2: So he's an amazing guy.

465
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 5: When he started working on these things, when I would

466
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 5: hear the Sonics and I'm starting to write the song,

467
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,280
