1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Castle. God, I'm Buzsnight. I'm the next Taking a Walk podcast. Well,

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Jelly Roll, it's so great to have you on Taking

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: a Walk. Do you remember the first time that you

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: rapped something? Oh? Absolutely. My mother struggled with like mental

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: health and addiction stuff, right, and she'd come to the

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: kitchen and the whole house would come. We'd listen to music.

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: And when I realized that music was affecting her addiction,

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this makes mom happy. I should

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: go write music, right, So I went upstairs and I

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: and I wrote a rap because hip hop was super

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: influential in our culture, and I was I went downstairs

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: with my little sheet of paper and she had all

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: of her friends at the kitchen table. I called them

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: a golden girl like six or seven mother, and they'd

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: all come to the kitchen table together and they just

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: changed smoked cigarettes. I came down. She turned the record

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: off and said what you got? I said, listen to this,

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: and I held my little sheet of paper up and

19
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: I was shaking the whole time, and I rapped her

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: a little rap. And I was probably twelve years old,

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: eleven years old. Do you remember what he wrapped? To

22
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: remember anything? It was just like, you know, I don't

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: like I just remember that feeling of everybody cheering me

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: on and telling me to go write another one. In hindsight,

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: they were just trying to get rid of me. That's

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: how we do kids. Yeah, Greg, go write another one

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: of those. That's next time. On taking a walk,
