Speaker 2: thank you all for being on the show. And let's

57
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: start from the very beginning. Yeah, So, why do you

58
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: think the nineties hold such a special place in people hearts,

59
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: especially when it comes to music.

60
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 4: I feel this, I feel that it holds a good

61
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: place because I feel that way because I think, you

62
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: know why, A lot of music in the nineties was

63
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: very authentic and live.

64
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: Like.

65
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: When I say live, not athetic, I mean people were

66
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: recording without like a lot of reverb, you know, so

67
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: you can really hear the people voices, and a lot

68
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: of stuff is like kind of like now, it's like

69
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: more you can hear a reverb means like you can

70
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 4: hear like auto tune.

71
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: Auto tune. You can hear a lot of that in

72
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 3: the music.

73
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 4: So just for people who don't know what I mean

74
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: by that, it's like auto tune where you can actually

75
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: help the scene. I'm not knocking you, but nineties that's

76
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: why I hold the place on your heart because you

77
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 4: hear every artist and you can tell who it is

78
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 4: because it's their real voices live. Yes. And also in

79
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: addition to that, you had variety of artists. You had groups.

80
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 4: You had different girl groups, you had different male groups.

81
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: Even the rap you had different sounds of raps. So

82
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 4: you have a lot of different genres. Everything didn't sound

83
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: so much alike. You though, it's some good music now,

84
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: but you had different types of groups with different genres,

85
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: you know. And so and I think because of that

86
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 4: realness that David, that that different genre, that different articity

87
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: to the to that era, it was a good, feel

88
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: good era.

89
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: I feel like, yes, I feel like when y'all hear

90
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: the music now, you'll probably be like, what the.

91
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 4: Hell, it's a lot I'm gona keep I'm gonna keep

92
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: it one I do with some of it because some

93
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 4: of me sound alike.

94
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, now, who is this person? It's like you

95
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: hear the same sound.

96
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: It's not a lot of you know, uniqueness to be

97
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 4: real and you know, and honestly, music, you know it's

98
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: a form of copy you know, you do copycat people.

99
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's not like it's abnormal. But when

100
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: it's done and you are not using your voice, it's

101
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 4: one thing to like an artist, but if you're gonna

102
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: copy him, you still should come in your own authentic voice.

103
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: You know, we can understand how you what you bring

104
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: to the table, instead you taking over somebody's hard work.

105
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: Like artists from the nineties, we work really hard. Like

106
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: seventies artists. They work really hard to be unique, to

107
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: do what they love. So when you hear their music

108
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 4: and nineties music, that's why you feel that whole energy

109
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: of uniqueness and you write the new music, I'll be like,

110
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: there's some people that got it right.

111
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: Though, Nah, I know you'd be like, girl, what is that.

112
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: Right?

113
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: And you know what, also, we had artists development too.

114
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: There was artists development too back now. And that's that's

115
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: thing I think that hurts a lot with a lot

116
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 4: of people. You know, the artists development is it lacks.

117
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: People think they can be a YouTube star that quick

118
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: and they aren't making they money from it or TikTok

119
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 4: stary they want to call it.

120
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like back in the day, like it

121
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: was like a real boot camp, like they wasn't playing.

122
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: Or y'all was gangs straight boot camp.

123
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what was it like being a part of

124
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: the nineties R and B scene?

125
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: It was bomb because we didn't have phones back then

126
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: and we are also you know, we got to really

127
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: get intimate with the people, the different artists that we

128
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 4: was connected with. If we was doing like a tour,

129
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 4: any type of thing we was involved in, you got

130
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 4: to really connect better. I think in the nineties you

131
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 4: got to really know the artists and you know, the

132
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: scene was hot, it was dope, and you know what,

133
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 4: I think people really did lose a lot because we

134
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: have like people recording us. It was like a private

135
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: you know, a private little I don't want to say,

136
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: like a private sorority or fraternity, but like it was

137
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: that energy like you would nobody can be in your business.

138
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: It was like everybody with stays like you know they

139
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: say with stays in Vegas whatever they say, what you

140
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: do in Vegas States, Right, That's the kind of vibe

141
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: was for the nineties scene, like you are really in

142
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: the moment and getting connected with the people that you know,

143
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: that you work with, that you got the same love with.

144
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: And it was really fun too. It was like fun times.

145
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: People would didn't have no high anxiety or you know,

146
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: like just that energy where you know, it was a

147
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: lot of confidence in the air, but it wasn't that

148
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 4: energy like I'm better than you. It was like we

149
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 4: both about the top of the stations, not you know.

150
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 4: We would see people backstage with crossing cities, crossing states.

151
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: We'll see Mary, will see oh Josy, little Kim. We

152
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: would be passing.

153
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: It took like, hey, what's up, y'all, how y'all doing.

154
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: They'll be getting on the bus, We're getting on stage.

155
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: They leaving the stage, We're getting on. So it was

156
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: always it was very carefue and fun and it wasn't

157
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: no like no tension, no like some tension in the

158
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: end true. And to add to that, I enjoyed the

159
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: fact that when we used to be performing any artists,

160
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: people really stay back and watch the other, you know,

161
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 4: the other, you know, like more supportive yet support Now

162
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 4: it's hot, that's dope, that got the tip.

163
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: That's segue into my next question. How do you think

164
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: the industry industry has changed since then?

165
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: Well, I think a lot of people keep to themselves

166
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: and who you know is who you know. It's like

167
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: it's more cliquish, like even though it was clicking back

168
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: in the time, but clicks new clicks and they was

169
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 4: you interacted, but now more backstage is more like if

170
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: you know somebody, you'll see them.

171
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: But people so.

172
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 4: Now much beatable with their own click that came with

173
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: them and stick in their own rooms. So they kind

174
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 4: of just be more private for whatever reason. Some reasons

175
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 4: are good, some reasons or not to stay out of trouble,

176
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 4: or you know, just they feeling themselves either though I

177
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 4: don't know, but it seems a little bit more where

178
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 4: everybody it's kind a little bit more distant. Yeah, yeah,

179
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 4: a little bit more distant. I think a little bit

180
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 4: more distant. And I think even like like like when

181
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: I was you mentioned about the difference, you know, the

182
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: whole what do you call it? Like auto tune energy?

183
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 4: You know, like like I was talking about the auto

184
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 4: tune situation too, people will not are not as authentic

185
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: like we were back then in the nineties. The autotune

186
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 4: you don't really know who it is. They everybody soundless

187
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 4: so and it's like, you know, and it's like who

188
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 4: is this person? Like you don't even know. And like

189
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: in the nineties, if you go and put the nineties

190
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 4: that feel good music, and you also can tell, oh

191
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: that's such and such ah, that's you know, oh the

192
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: difference you really do?

193
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: I know, I do. I definitely know the difference. When

194
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: I hear the nineties artists, I can hear the.

195
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 4: Difference meaning difference between like two different artists.

196
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: You know that artist, you know that this is this artist,

197
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: I mean, and I miss that.

198
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: And to think about new music, it's like you don't

199
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: you don't get that from that, you don't get that.

200
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: It's like micro waverbo.

201
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 4: People are like jumping in the game, getting that quick fixed,

202
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 4: getting them everybody like I want to get the bag.

203
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: I'm getting that bag. You know, they gonna get that back.

204
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: But you know, we all want the bag too, but

205
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 4: we what we love what we do too, right.

206
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: And I also feel like back then in the nineties,

207
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: like not only did we we felt the emotion, but

208
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: it was just you could just feel it, like you

209
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: knew when somebody was happy, you knew when somebody was sad,

210
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: you knew what somebody was like. I feel like theneties

211
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: nineties was just the time that you just had to

212
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: be there.

213
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: You know, we didn't have phones and Instagram and all that,

214
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 4: so you didn't have no other distress actions. You were

215
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 4: able to be in the moment with that person if

216
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: you had something to say. You either have to wait,

217
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 4: like say, if we came out with a video, you

218
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 4: wasn't gonna see any footage beforehand. You really had to

219
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 4: wait to the video to see who was gonna cop

220
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: the blue lipstick first, or you know, you got so

221
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 4: it wasn't a lot of distraction distraction or copycap like

222
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 4: a lot of copy cap too, you know, because you

223
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: know people you know you are because let me tell

224
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 4: you someone, once you shoot a video, you got your

225
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 4: video going and you would be able to know who

226
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 4: copied off for you because you didn't have once to

227
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 4: get dropped.

228
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 3: You know that you did it first.

229
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you have to wait for it to come

230
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: out too.

231
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: You have to wait. You gotta wait, editing and all

232
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: of that.

233
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: Now, y'all, I guess they look they look super good.

234
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 2: Mad fied brownskin for the win. So being at the nineties,

235
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 2: was the golden era? Who was trying to talk to y'all?

236
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 4: Oh?

237
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: I think for me?

238
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: I think on my end, I had like comedians trying

239
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 4: to like me and like more on the comedian side,

240
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: and a couple of rappers, But no R and B

241
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: dudes was talking to me like that, maybe because I

242
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: had a little thug in me something that might have been.

243
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: Too much for the R and B cats. But more

244
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: but more rapping.

245
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: I think more rapping, and yeah, I feel like more

246
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: rappers and comedians on my end, or a couple of athletes.

247
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: I think I didn't have a couple of athletes.

248
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, think about it.

249
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: So wait, so name one comedian and one athlete and

250
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: one rapper that was trying to talk to you. That's

251
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: current now.

252
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't say they're name because they're married.

253
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: Now, it's somebody we know because yeah, y'all know, but.

254
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: They're married now, so I wouldn't even like put them

255
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: out there like that. But if they were single, I

256
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: would bet I would bust them out. But they're married,

257
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: got a whole family, got.

258
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: A whole life.

259
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 2: Anybody single that was trying to talk to you, that's

260
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,199

269
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,360

270
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 4: Somebody from there, Tampa, Yeah, yeah, yeah, shoot, we both

271
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: had a football player for the Buccaneers. I really don't

272
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: remember his name. There was a guy from the Buccaneers,

273
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: and he's very incredible. He's a Hall of Famer. But

274
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: he's married and got a hope for me.

275
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 2: All Right, y'all gonna do my research and I get

276
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 2: back to y'all. But y'all know who it.

277
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 4: Is, Okay. I could tell you a singer that tried

278
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 4: to get at me, because I don't know what they're

279
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 4: doing in life, and there's no disrespect he's married or whatever,

280
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 4: but I'm not checking for him. I wasn't checking for

281
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 4: him then and I'm not checking for him now. Casey

282
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 4: from Jo Desy trying to get everybody know.

283
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was Mary at that time.

284
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 4: I was like, boy, please, But even if he wasn't

285
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 4: with her, somebody from the audition, I'm not gonna put

286
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 4: because I think he is married based off their show. No,

287
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 4: I guess, but no, somebody from the audition I know who. No,

288
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 4: not him. I don't even know who you was gonna say,

289
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: but you know, you know how you can tell some

290
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 4: people want to get at you. They're not saying nothing,

291
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: but they're doing like serious flirtatious.

292
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: I'm with that.

293
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say the name because I think I

294
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: think I'm a type of person that I don't really

295
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: like people that's in the same field that I'm in,

296
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: Like meaning like since I'm in a RB hip hop,

297
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 4: I'm really more I would choose more like an athlete

298
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 4: type of person or a comedian.

299
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: Somebody is not doing the same thing I'm doing.

300
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: I'm curious about other people's careers and journey got going on.

301
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 4: I don't want the same I never want the same

302
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: energy to keep it real with you, the same thing

303
00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: I did.

304
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you rap and.

305
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 4: Checking for you like that, But if you're a comedian

306
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: or you are an athlete, I'm more intrigued by that.

307
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: Right now, How did y'all all meet? Like, were y'all

308
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: friends before the group started? Or because I wasn't sure

309
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: if y'all met in high school, or if y'all knew

310
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: about each other in high school, or yall met in college.

311
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 4: And I met in high school as cheerleader. She was

312
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 4: already on a cheerleading squad and I was trying to

313
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 4: make the squad. So that's how we connected. And I

314
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: was doing my dancing, doing my thing, and I needed

315
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 4: another dancer. I was looking for another dancer, and everybody

316
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: was like, she was samous in high school. You know,

317
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: she was popular, so everybody knew she Yeah, she was lit,

318
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: and so when I was looking and asking around, it

319
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 4: was like, oh, you need to ask. And I already

320
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 4: knew she had flavor and poise and style just from

321
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: being a cheerleader.

322
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: But we wasn't close.

323
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: We just met each other, you know, we we just

324
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: knew we knew each other, and we didn't really get

325
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 4: close to that until, you know, after we start cheering

326
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 4: and everything. But I asked her if she wanted to dance,

327
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: and then she just locked in. She was like, yes,

328
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 4: her style matched my style. We was vibing with each other.

329
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: And then we met in college, right, yeah, in college,

348
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew y'all was seriously when I was listening

349
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 2: to your other interviews and just doing research, I'm like,

350
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: you know back then, like the don't that y'all even

351
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: had the mindset of like let's do auditions, like let's

352
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: let's scout out the next person, so we could be

353
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 2: official with that because I know dance play an intricate

354
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: role into your music journey.

355
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 3: It did definitely.

356
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 4: We was like the type of group that you know,

357
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 4: go to different clubs, and then that's another thing.

358
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

359
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 4: I don't really think they really get down, like we

360
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: really dance and sweat anybody cute, but we ain't trying

361
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: to look cute all day. We are getting on the

362
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 4: cipher floor like I rappers. People see that on BT

363
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 4: or like the Little Award Show. Now, we've been doing

364
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: Cyprus back in the days in the nineties and then

365
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 4: Cyper was like dancing in the circle and it's Dan

366
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 4: in a circle and everybody crowding around them, and that

367
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 4: was the type of NFG. So then that's that led

368
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: us to be able to do different videos with different

369
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 4: hip hop artists. Unfortunately wondered. One of the queens that

370
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: passed away just recently. Her name is Boss. Got to

371
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 4: give her props. That's her soul. She was passed away

372
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: and she's incredible. We was at mental Mondays. Bill Bibs

373
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: the BOE used to do these shows on Mondays at

375
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 4: and twenty one, and you know, it was that type

376
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 4: of energy.

377
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 3: So you know, we was dancing, doing our thing, what

378
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: we love.

379
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: And if I'm not mistaken, y'all will also backup dancing

00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: for like a lot of well known artists like Big Daddy, Kane, AMT, Chris,

381

387
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 2: a good relationship with Tima Robinson, who was a season dancer.

388
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: So how did she play a prevotal role in y'all career?

389
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: Because I think it was something y'all was also trying

390
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: to try out for Michael Jackson remember the Times video

391
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: as well.

392
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 4: Yes, talk about the story about that with Fatima. So

393
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: in our book that's coming out, it's called Unfinished Business,

394
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 4: we talk about that about with Fatima. There was moments

395
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 4: of Fatima that was great and there was moments that

396
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 4: was not so great. Like she she was, she was

397
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: definitely about her business at a at a young age

398
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 4: as well. We all used to dance and you know,

399
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: so we talked about the story that happened with the

400
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: Michael Jacksonville how it was like, you know, it was

401
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 4: like back then, like there was clicks and we were

402
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: talking about like different clicks. It was clicked like it

403
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 4: was a lot of dancers trying out for this video,

404
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 4: and we talked about how she picked certain people and

405
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 4: people telling us that I don't know why y'all didn't

406
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: get picked because y'all, y'all really was killing it. But

407
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 4: it was crazy because it was like a it was

408
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 4: a thousand people, thousand dances tried out, but it was

409
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: like we got called back out of our level clak

410
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: and it was only twenty days and they was narrowing

411
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 4: it down, and so we talk about how we felt like,

412
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 4: you know, and that's why I love our book that's

413
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 4: coming out, because we all felt a different kind of way.

414
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 4: Like me to keep one hundred, I didn't feel I

415
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 4: didn't like how I went down, like I didn't like

416
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: how But now that I'm now, I see how it

417
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 4: go like after I was in my feelings back then.

418
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: But you know, now I'm older, I see it differently.

419
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 3: It's a game.

420
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: It's you know, you people gonna pick who they wore with, right,

421
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 4: and it's like it's like a cattle call. You have

422
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 4: to have these many people. You already know who you're picking.

423
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 4: That's how it used to be back in the days

424
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 4: when you when you did like auditions back in the days.

425
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: So Fatima wasn't doing nothing no different than the next.

426
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: Cat was doing right. Like as far as having like

427
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 4: a gang of peeple, well, because you got to do

428
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 4: it for Michael Jackson. You got to show that you

429
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 4: had people out there trying out, but you already know.

430
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 3: In your head who you want.

431
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 4: That's something we didn't know until after the fact, or

432
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: at least me it's for me. I didn't know that

433
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 4: until after the fact. So my thing was, I mean,

434
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 4: I really wanted to be in that video, but it

435
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: didn't happen.

436
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: We did other videos, you know what I mean.

437
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 4: It was Michael Jackson, but we did other stuff and

438
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 4: Fatima was the one who got us the other stuff too,

439
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 4: you know, but we didn't we didn't get that one.

440
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 4: But you know what, she blessed us after that. She

441
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 4: might maybe her conscious I don't know if her conscious

442
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 4: bother her or what. So. I know I wasn't really

443
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 4: feeling her the same, but she did come through after that,

444
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 4: maybe she got out conscious or something because she she

445
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: didn't want to put us in Daddy came video this

446
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: group called good Girl.

447
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 3: They was called the Good Girls something like that was

448
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: good to Do, Good to Do. Yeah.

449
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: Did you'll ever have a conversation with her?

450
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 3: No, I haven't. I think my energy gave conversation.

451
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 4: I think after the fact, I let it go because

452
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 4: I mean, she did come through later on after that. Right,

453
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 4: I'll say if I being out of office turned off

454
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 4: back then with that SITUAD scenario because we didn't know

455
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 4: what was going on at then. We didn't know that

456
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 4: people were rolling that hard like that and what have

457
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 4: you working your butt off dancing and then not to

458
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 4: get picked. But you know, we As time went on,

459
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 4: we realized, you know, as you get older and understand

460
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 4: how the game worked, you ain't tripping about it no more,

461
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 4: but it But it was I was in my feelings

462
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 4: back then, definitely.

463
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: So do y'all feel like y'all was destined to be

464
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 2: in a group? And the reason why I asked because

465
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: y'all have so much in common and I feel like

466
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: when I was reading more about your story, I feel

467
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: like everything was like lining up for y'all. Do y'all

468
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: feel like that too?

469
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 3: Yes? We do, Yeah, we do.

470
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 4: I think when we had started all were we were.

471
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 4: Our goal was honestly to just be these great dancers

472
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 4: and touring all over the world. We just that's that

473
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: was really what we wanted to do. Just be these

474
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 4: great dancers and choreographed different groups and and tour. That

475
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 4: was our like initial type of energy. But when we

476
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 4: was doing our thing, and would we performing at different

477
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 4: showcase like back then it was like major showcases, and

478
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 4: you'll see people like Mariah Carey, Jamie Fox. You see

479
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 4: them like Jamie Fox wasn't even singing. He was just

480
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 4: doing his comedy stuff because he's snow he was singing.

481
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 4: He wasn't even comedy. H mm hmm. It'd be at

482
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: these different like, I mean, it's so beautiful to see

483
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 4: people from back in the days and where they are now.

484
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: But we used to do the popular because we from

485
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 4: cal We're from Cali, so cally got all the energy

486
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 4: everybody being in Hollywood, you know, doing their thing, and

487
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 4: you know, we would win every time as dancers behind

488
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: these so we weren't lining like that, you know what I mean.

489
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 4: We were just we just did what we love and

490
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 4: people noticed that, you guys should be more than hard

491
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 4: bodies in the back dancing. Yeah, Like we were outshining the

492
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 4: main artists with our dancing. So we would always get

493
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 4: people from behind the stage or just even people from

494
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 4: the audience like you guys did so good. Y'all got

495
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 4: a group or y'all should become a group or what's

496
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 4: the name of your group? And that got us thinking, like,

497
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: you know, we start seeing ourselves different, but yet still

498
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 4: we were dancers until someone actually really approached us like,

499
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 4: you guys need a name. You know, we were just

500
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: going off of our real names, but we needed a

501
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: group name. And once we had that group name and

502
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 4: we still was dancing doing our thing, then we would

503
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: got approached to be a group like you guys should

504
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 4: be a group. So we it was destined for us

505
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 4: to come together and do what we did because it happened,

506
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 4: and it's still good while it was happening, and we

507
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 4: do have a lot of similarities and we were aligned

508
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 4: to meet each other at the times that we did

509
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 4: to do what we were supposed to do, which is

510
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 4: a beautiful thing.

511
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: Yes, And I also feel like because you have a background,

512
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: it also made you more versatile when it came to

513
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 2: performing compared to your other R and B counterparts. Do

514
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: you feel like that as well?

515
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: Oh?

516
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 4: Yes, definitely. I feel like I was the Sierra back now.

517
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 4: Sierra is so dope. I love her answer. I was

518
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: that Sierra back then. You know what I'm saying, Like

519
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 4: that energy Sierra brings period.

520
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: Yes, Now, were there any girl groups at the time

521
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: that inspire y'all when y'all were first starting out?

522
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 4: For me, I would say st mm hmm, yes, Peper

523
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 4: only one for me. Yeah, because it wasn't a lot

524
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 4: of girl groups. It was more like individuals Like I

525
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: love Janet Jackson, you know, she was not in the group,

526
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 4: but saltn Pepper for sure.

527
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: That girl serious about. But in groups like Salt and Pepper,

528
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 3: what other groups? What you know what I mean?

529
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: Did y'all come out before a lot of the other groups,

530
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: Like was it it was like y'all, s WV.

531
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 4: Did TLC came out before?

532
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: Right?

533
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 3: Came out before us?

534
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 4: But I think weren't even though they were a good group,

535
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 4: but we were more aligned with more like with the

536
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 4: Salt and Pepper BBD energy you goat see it's two

537
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 4: two rappers and one singer right in our group, and

538
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 4: so a lot of times that's stuff that we had

539
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: to like when we performed people songs live, we kind

540
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 4: of had like maybe maybe few Fujie's energy. We were

541
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 4: behind the scenes coming out like we was working in

542
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 4: the studio.

543
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 3: They just came out before us. We didn't have a

544
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 3: deal yet.

545
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: They were we were already our concept who we were

546
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 4: as people, so they couldn't Nobody didn't inspire us like

547
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: that because we already like we didn't look up to them.

548
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 4: It was kind of like we side by side with y'all.

549
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 4: So they were great groups and we liked them, but

550
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 4: they wasn't a group like, oh, we want to be

551
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 4: like them later on in life. It was kind of

552
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 4: it was just a couple of years ahead of us,

553
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 4: you know, because they got the deal earlier, whatever the

554
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 4: case may be, So it would be older groups we.

555
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: Would look at.

556
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 4: We was making noise in our neighborhood before we even

557
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 4: got our deer we another like an independent deal. So

558
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 4: we just making our own noise in our little town

559
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: in Cali, in Inglewood and La.

560
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: You know.

561
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: But we was We wasn't signed to an actual record

562
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 4: deal like they were. So when you stay looking up,

563
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 4: I will only say probably salt and pepper.

564
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 2: Right, did y'all ever feel pressure to fit in a

565
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: certain image or sound because y'all were women in the industry? Like,

566
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: did they ever try to make y'all perform to a

567
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: certain way? Because I feel like when I was looking

568
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 2: back at y'all videos and just y'all sound like y'all

569
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: were flying, like y'all was like there around the way

570
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 2: girls like even now, like, did y'all ever feel like

571
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: I had to perform in a certain sense for me?

572
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 4: We we came as we who we were. We brought

573
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 4: who we were to the table, and to be honest,

574
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 4: no disrespect to none of the ladies that was doing

575
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 4: like Little Kim's the way she was talking and stuff

576
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 4: that was us, right, We did that all the time.

577
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 4: We got people trying to have us tone that down.

578
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 4: So it was pressure from like our record company do

579
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 4: you know the people who was involved, like ooh you

580
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 4: saying that or why are you saying this? And even

581
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 4: at that time, radio stations wasn't as open as they

582
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 4: are now. It's out of control now. But like some

583
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 4: of our songs didn't get like His Mind did get

584
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 4: played La Talk just like sexy, but they wasn't playing

585
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 4: your music at that time. So our record label was

586
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 4: trying to. They were trying to make us do like

587
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 4: these R and B D and that wasn't what we were. Yeah,

588
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 4: that's not who we work. So we used to constantly

589
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 4: have like a battle with that because we were rapp

590
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 4: and we did rap and singing. We kept who we were,

591
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 4: but we used to battle our time. That was that

592
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 4: was the different part, I tell you. So it was

593
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 4: the pressure of us or they not allowing us to

594
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: be ourselves truly. Thinks like how we came, how we auditioned,

595
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 4: we rapped and sing and we wore what we wore.

596
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 4: We just how we dressed, said what we said, you know,

597
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: they were trying to tone us down and make us

598
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: be an R and B group, you know, and we.

599
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: Had to fight to that. And so it's not.

600
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 4: That we was hood and ghetto. We just was like

601
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 4: from the inner city talking about inner city energy. You know.

602
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: We still you ain't never seen this look like hoodra

603
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 4: that they to call it back then, boochie boocie girls.

604
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: So wait, how do y'all feel about the reception that

605
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: Sexy Bread has been receiving.

606
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 4: Oh, honey, don't get me on her. I'm sorry, I'm

607
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 4: not a fan. I don't really know her music. I'm

608
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 4: not a fan. What I see is just, you know,

609
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 4: it's like it's like the ratchetness is cool because it's

610
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 4: a little bit in every woman I think, you know,

611
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 4: or but it's it's a time you got to have

612
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 4: some boundaries. It's just it's just too much. It's too much,

613
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 4: Like it's just too much. I wouldn't want my little

614
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 4: girl like listening to her music, you know what I mean.

615
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 4: You got to be a full fledged grown woman listen

616
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 4: to her music.

617
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: And you know, I haven't.

618
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: I've heard of her through other people and I'm just

619
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 4: now literally like, no, lie, like two weeks ago, just

620
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 4: saw her in the video because she with some other

621
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 4: girl that I do like, you know what I mean.

622
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 4: So I'm just now really seeing her for myself. But

623
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not a big fan. But good luck,

624
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 4: good good for what you're doing.

625
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: I feel like the girls need to put their clothes on,

626
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 3: even a guy. I don't want you.

627
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 4: I want a guy who's closed off either either or

628
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 4: I want you. I want to see your talent. Like

629
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 4: I feel that people can show their talent by putting

630
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: more clothes on and start being naked. I don't like

631
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 4: that energy like too much. Many people want to be

632
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 4: so naked, and it takes away from your skill. You

633
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 4: might be a dope ass artist, but it's taken away

634
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: from me because just because you're showing all your ass.

635
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 4: Excuse me for my language, but that's you're showing all

636
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 4: the ass and there's no mystery. Like if one person

637
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 4: is bringing that that hood energy, then the next person

638
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 4: want to be.

639
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: I want to go lower than you. I want to

640
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: be more hood than you.

641
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 4: I want to be so now it starts, it starts

642
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 4: falling off, and it's it's like hood hood hood, gutter,

643
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 4: savage gutter and it's just getting worse. It's not even

644
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 4: cute no more, you know what I mean.

645
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: It's like you now you may making it look bad.

646
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: You're making ratchet look horrible. Is you're giving it.

647
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 4: You're making the ladies look horrible. Like I don't like it,

648
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 4: you know, have some type of class demeanor about yourself.

649
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 4: It's getting out of control to me, and I think

650
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: she's taken to the level like I'm gonna be the

651
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 4: most ratchet, cold, is trifling, most ever and I'm sell

652
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 4: that I'm a capitalize off of it. Somebody that like you,

653
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 4: like what you're doing, is always gonna be somebody that

654
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 4: don't like what you do. That's what I have to

655
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 4: learn too. In the industry, we can't please everybody. We

656
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 4: had people that really love our songs. We had people

657
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: that really couldn't stand us for our song, you know,

658
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 4: but we know we struck a chord, whether you loved

659
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 4: it or not. You know, like a girl struck a

660
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 4: chord with me. You went too far with it. So

661
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 4: that's not my vibe. That's not I'm not into it

662
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: all the way like that, you know what I mean.

663
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 2: It's not your taste exactly, but I can get with them,

664
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: but that's just too that's.

665
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: A little too far.

666
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 4: Like I don't mind like I don't mind people having

667
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 4: with their bodies. I think it's beautiful to show your body,

668
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 4: but it's it's just the way the tastes. Some of

669
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 4: it be real tastes, Like I know I have buntion

670
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 4: on my body. I don't want to act like I'm

671
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 4: an old chick that don't respect people having fun with

672
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 4: their body, because I'm not that. I think it's dope

673
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: to be able to show your figure, your body and

674
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 4: look good and do your thing. But when it comes

675
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 4: when you you know, when you like she's she's a

676
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 4: little over the top. Mm, but like but like some

677
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 4: people gonna love you and you gotta do you gotta

678
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 4: do it as long as she my thing is, as

679
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 4: long as she being true to any artist, as long

680
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 4: as you being really authentic to yourself, or because a

681
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 4: lot of the lot of the behind the scenes stuff

682
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 4: with you and other people don't know, they have people

683
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: in their ear telling them you gotta do this, you

684
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 4: gotta do that. If she's she's really being her true

685
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 4: to herself, that's all good. But if you not, because

686
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of men be behind these

687
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: girls telling them to look a certain way, and it's

688
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 4: not it's not respect. It's not a woman telling another woman,

689
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 4: you know how to get your thing, you know how

690
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: to do your thing. It's usually a man behind them

691
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 4: telling them to look inappropriate like that, because there have.

692
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: Been a lot of female artists that came out and

693
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: said that either a man wrote their lyrics, a man

694
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: told him how to dress, or a man did this,

695
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: man did that. So I definitely agree that if this

696
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: is her, I hope this is just her doing her.

697
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,959
Speaker 4: Exactly. I'm one of those people that I love. I

698
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 4: like writers because I'm a songwriter. I like girls that

699
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 4: write like I like Nikki. I don't mind her being

700
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 4: safe because that girl again, right, she's talented. Yeah, yeah,

701
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 4: she's tight.

702
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 3: So for me, it's no this to other people. I'm

703
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: just attracted to songwriters.

704
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: Now.

705
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: One of the things that I loved about y'all story

706
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: is because not only did y'all have a growing music career,

707
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: but y'all was also in college. Y'all was breaking nine

708
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: to fives. So how was it balancing everything?

709
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: Hard to tell, that's a good question.

710
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 4: We just did it. Yeah, and it was a lot.

711
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 3: But we just I don't know, like looking back.

712
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 4: And it's like, damn, I did all that. You don't

713
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 4: even realize you was juggling and all that like at

714
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 4: the time, right, just making.

715
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: It happen, just going with the flow, was just doing.

716
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 4: It, just doing like like you said, just doing I

717
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 4: think for us, it's like, you know what, I think,

718
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 4: here's to this day.

719
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 3: You can do anything you put your mind to.

720
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 4: But I think one of the problems and I keep

721
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep saying this is probably throw up the

722
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 4: whole conversation when you have internet, social media. See, we

723
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 4: didn't have all those distractions. We was focused, you know,

724
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 4: we were very focused.

725
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 3: There was no distract.

726
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 4: It was about where our mind was connected to what

727
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 4: we wanted to do. Oh I'm graduating, Oh I'm gonna

728
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 4: be an artist. I'm gonna do this. I like it

729
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 4: was not It was a lot, but it's like you

730
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 4: enjoyed it because you wanted you had a goal and

731
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 4: you have like distractions. Yeah, you're right, you're right.

732
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 2: And then y'all also mentioned the importance of having passion

733
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 2: in your art. Why do you believe that money shouldn't

734
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: be the primary motivation because I feel like when I

735
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: listen to a lot of people from the nineties, everybody

736
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 2: talk about how they got robbed of their contracts and stuff.

737
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, it goes back to how I was saying about

738
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 4: how out now things are more microwaiver. But and it's

739
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 4: nice for them to get they coin, they money, they bag.

740
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 4: It's good that they getting their money. But people in

741
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: the nineties and the seventies, no, we wasn't getting a

742
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 4: coin like that. So if you didn't like it like

743
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 4: that because you're not getting paid like that, it had

744
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 4: to be from your passion because the money wasn't coming

745
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 4: like how they money come now. So that's why you

746
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 4: get those real authentic artists from the nineties and that

747
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 4: feel good news.

748
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: We really was, you.

749
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 4: Know, authentic, and it was like it wasn't about the money,

750
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 4: even though we wanted the money and earn later that

751
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 4: it was not right what was happening.

752
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 3: But we was very PASSI used That's what kept us going.

753
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 3: The passion.

754
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna stay with the passion. You can

755
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 4: regain and get more money, you know, because sometimes it

756
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 4: could be here today, gone tomorrow, or if you had

757
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,959
Speaker 4: the money and it's gone then that might mentally mess

758
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 4: with you and send you down a spiraling path of

759
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 4: negativity or drugs or sex or whatever that could happen.

760
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 4: But if you have the passion for it, you know

761
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 4: that if I got it before, I can do it again.

762
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 4: You can choose other avenues or the venues with that passion.

763
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 4: So I think that's why having passion is so important

764
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 4: because you can recreate or create something else. Let me

765
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 4: and chat with this one though, not just passion, but

766
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 4: the spiritual. We had a very spiritual connection with you know,

767
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 4: our own you know, with our own spiritual connection with God.

768
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 4: And that has a lot to do with a lot

769
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 4: of people commit suicide, they drink or they get drugs,

770
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 4: they get messed up with drugs because you know, you

771
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 4: have a spiritual foundation and o Urts is pretty tight.

772
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 4: We communicated with each other. You gotta it's and then,

773
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: and I mean you gotta have it's a deep foundation.

774
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 4: You gotta have with God for real, the man above.

775
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,839

Speaker 2: names combined.

822
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 4: Well, we were actually dancing with some dancers and another guide group.

823
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 4: We were dancing for a show and they were saying,

824
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 4: you know, how do we want to be introduced? And

825
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 4: we was like they were asking us what's our name?

826
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 4: It was like, we don't have a name, and of

827
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 4: course we was thinking of every name with a three

828
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 4: three the hard way, three to three to T. I

829
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 4: don't know. We was just speaking of different three names

830
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 4: and we happen to be standing in the formation of

831
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,959
Speaker 4: Monifa King and Stephanie. We was just standing there ready

832
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 4: to do our routine, and we didn't come up with anything.

833
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 4: Nobody was really feeling anything. So the guy was like, well,

834
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 4: what about MOK and Steph the way we were just

835
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 4: the order we were in, and it right at that moment,

836
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 4: we all just loved it. And then Stephanie was like, well,

837
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 4: what about Steph? Can both? Why can't go the other way?

838
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 4: And we was like, that's true, but the bell just

839
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 4: sounded better that way. So we just all suck with it.

840
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: How do y'all feel? Y'all music has influenced today's R

841
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: and B or just music in general.

842
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 4: Oh, it influenced today's R and B and music in

843
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 4: general because it's so real, Like our song really is timeless,

844
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 4: because there's always a man cheating on a woman, and

845
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 4: there's always a woman taking her man back, and there's

846
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,479
Speaker 4: always somebody in a relationship up and now now he's

847
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 4: your man, you know, So that's that cycle is constant.

848
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 4: It happened before we wrote it and it's gonna happen

849
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 4: after right, So so like TikTok brought us back because

850
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 4: it still goes on. No. I was saying, my daddy

851
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 4: is in high school, right, so it's so cool they

852
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 4: brought it all back.

853
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 3: One time, she's a cheerlead. I was at her game

854
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 3: and it was bumping my song. I said, what.

855
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 4: The high school wasn't I was like wow, and he

856
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 4: saw on TikTok. They we they you know, they researched it,

857
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 4: which is beautiful.

858
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: It's a blessing and we appreciate it.

859
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 4: Like Kean said, it's a classic song that resonates from

860
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 4: from back in the days to today. People like she said,

861
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 4: I think what really get people going. They everybody tried

862
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 4: to figure out what we really was talking about. But

863
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 4: it was so many different scenarios in that song. Said

864
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 4: He's mine, right.

865
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 3: I said it was. It was so it was so

866
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 3: many scenarios where he's mine mm hm.

867
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 4: Where you know, some people thought that we were saying

868
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 4: we was cool with letting the man cheated on us,

869
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 4: and that wasn't what we were saying. But you know,

870
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 4: we let people have their narrative. It was more like

871
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 4: when we wrote it. We were talking about everybody have

872
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 4: a man before you, and that man might not be

873
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 4: with you no more so now he got somebody else.

874
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 4: But you know, in another scenario, was like, and now

875
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 4: he's with he's mine. You made it, had him once

876
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 4: you would you might have been with her.

877
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 3: Yea, that was one.

878
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 4: In the other scenario like kid said one of the

879
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 4: group member's boyfriend, which you know he had cheated on her,

880
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,719

00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 4: the energy and of people and how how they respond

932
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 4: to it. I can't say every artist, but I think

933
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 4: since you've been out before, before the social media came

934
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 4: to life, we can handle the criticism better. Like it

935
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 4: doesn't bove already. We're strong in our conviction. We know

936
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 4: who we are, we know what we did. We wrote ourselves,

937
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 4: and we take responsibility for it. We take responsibility. We

938
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 4: was very when we did it. We did it ourselves.

939
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 4: Nobody made us write these. Our whole album we wrote

940
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 4: as it is, and that whole album we wrote and

941
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 4: it's like except one song. It was a remake from

942
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 4: Smokey Robinson. Much loved the Smokey Robinson. But you know,

943
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 4: we wrote everything pretty much. And I think because we

944
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 4: knew who we were, we had no social media, no

945
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 4: distractions like that always say that, And I think we're

946
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 4: very confident who we are because social that's what people's mental.

947
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 4: And I see I see some artists be clapping back

948
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 4: on like why do you care for me? I want

949
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 4: to be a psychologist for these artists and talk to

950
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 4: these artis to help them out, because I'm like, who

951
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 4: cares about it?

952
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 3: You don't even know these cats? Why are you.

953
00:44:54,560 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 2: Ar And y'all also faced some legal issues with his mind,

954
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 2: which I thought that was a lot of important lessons

955
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: that y'all shared. So can you share what those challenges

956
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: were and how they affected your experience with the song?

957
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: Because if I'm not mistaken this Stephanie, you didn't want

958
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the song after y'all went through it, right, I.

959
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: Sure didn't didn't.

960
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 4: I didn't want that to be the single because once

961
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 4: I started learning the business. That's another thing we talked

962
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 4: about in our book called Unfinished Business that will be

963
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 4: coming out soon. We talk about how like you know you.

964
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 4: I was not happy about once I found out what

965
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 4: they were trying to take. Because see, in this business,

966
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 4: when you when you uh, I don't just say like

967
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 4: copy another person's song or I don't want to say copy,

968
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 4: but you know, when you you might be like yes, sample, yeah,

969
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 4: thank you. The producer that produced it was an amazing produce.

970
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 4: His name is Henry, A wonderful. He's a live he's

971
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 4: not just a producer, but he's a live musician. Amazing. Yeah,

972
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 4: he's very amazed. So I think what was crazy about

973
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 4: our situation. He played these samples live, but in court

974
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 4: it was like he was like, I didn't copy off

975
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 4: whatever happened, He didn't copy off for print. It was

976
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 4: like Prince the Wonderful, Prince Rescis Soul and Roger and Zapp.

977
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 4: So our song had those type of you know, samples

978
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 4: in it, but he replayed it, didn't wait in court.

979
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 4: He replayed it and did a whole nother little twist

980
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 4: to it a little bit.

981
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 3: But for the you know, for the as.

982
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 4: Far as the court they saw it looking like, oh

983
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,439
Speaker 4: this is a Prince sample. This is so we didn't

984
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 4: look we in that, but we wasn't even a part

985
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 4: of that whole suit. We didn't even know until it

986
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 4: came back to us and I said, well, I'm good,

987
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 4: let's just do Sex and the Ring. That's our other single.

988
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 4: We wrote it, he lied, played it, no samples, you

989
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.

990
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 3: So I was like, I'm good.

991
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 4: So you know, at that time, I was not feeling

992
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 4: to put it out because once I realized how much

993
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 4: money they're gonna be taking from that, I was like, oh,

994
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 4: wait a minute, hold up, we're not really getting nothing

995
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 4: from it.

996
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 3: Voted, I got out voted. Basically, I was out voted.

997
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 3: But it's all good now.

998
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I know y'all have a book coming out,

999
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: and I'm sure this would be covering more in detail.

1000
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 2: But can y'all share y'all decision or the reason why

1001
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: y'all stepped away from music?

1002
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 4: It's in the book. You got any any thing you

1003
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 4: can say without saying so something.

1004
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 3: It's.

1005
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 4: It's definitely in the book. And you get to find

1006
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 4: see what's cool about the book. It's like it's three perspectives.

1007
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 4: Like you know, when people write books, you don't have

1008
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: everybody brightening. It might be one person telling their story

1009
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 4: by theyself. But in this situation, it's a mocking steph book.

1010
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 4: That's three perspectives and you get to find out like

1011
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 4: who who walked away first?

1012
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 3: And like how it? You know, what's that chapter we

1013
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 3: got caught in?

1014
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 4: Oh you put me on spot?

1015
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 3: It's in the book, So.

1016
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 4: Just a chapter that explained the fallout there you go.

1017
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 2: Do y'all have any regrets about the decision looking back

1018
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: now about stepping away and leaving the music industry?

1019
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 4: I don't, not, Stephanie.

1020
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't like it at all, and I

1021
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 3: talked about in the book.

1022
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 4: So that's why I said the three perspectives, you're going

1023
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 4: to find out who did what and why that person

1024
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 4: did it. But I would say for myself, just to

1025
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 4: give you like a little bit, I was not feeling

1026
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 4: that decision.

1027
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, process of elimination.

1028
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, you know.

1029
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 2: I feel like y'all have just had so much talent.

1030
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 2: I mean, y'all was dancers, y'all was singers, y'all was rappers,

1031
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 2: y'all was fly, y'all had personality. Do y'all believe y'all

1032
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 2: had a first shot?

1033
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

1034
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 2: Do y'all feel like the label knew what they was

1035
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 2: doing with y'all.

1036
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 4: They didn't have They didn't have maybe, girl, you said

1037
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 4: the right now and we talk about in the book.

1038
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 3: It's so funny. We talk about that in the book.

1039
00:48:58,719 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 3: But no, they didn't understand that.

1040
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were very were very creative, right and thank

1041
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 4: you for that compliment.

1042
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 3: We were very creative.

1043
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 4: We had some ideas that Missy Elliott did later on

1044
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 4: her video.

1045
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 3: We we love Missy Ellie. We was crazy.

1046
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 4: Miss had track or I had that idea and told

1047
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 4: them way before Missy came out with it. And I

1048
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 4: love Missy because she was created her her people had

1049
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,120

1051
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 4: idea that we a lot of ideas that we came out.

1052
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 4: We saw it come out in other groups and we

1053
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 4: would get so frustrated because it's like we would have

1054
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 4: been the ones the first to show that VII do

1055
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 4: that we did, and it was just they made it

1056
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 4: seem like we didn't know what we was talking about,

1057
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 4: or it was so hard to put together, or oh

1058
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 4: we can't do that or whatever the flat back was.

1059
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 4: They just wasn't feeling it. But we knew what we

1060
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 4: wanted to do. So our wasn't all the way for

1066
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 4: things because you know why, because we spoke our mind.

Speaker 2: was nothing to play with. Baby, No, ma'am Okay, we

1085
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 2: almost finisheduff y'all can go back and do anything differently

1086
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 2: in your music career, what would it be and.

1087
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 4: Why really standing up to the labels and really standing

1088
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 4: firm and not just swaying with the I for me,

1089
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 4: not just swaying with the idea just to you know,

1090
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 4: a piece the group or a piece the group, just

1091
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 4: really just staying true to who I was, because who

1092
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 4: I was was what I see right now, you know,

1093
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 4: like starting out as new artists, it's like, oh, I

1094
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 4: should have just stayed that way. I shouldn't have changed

1095
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 4: my lyrics, or I shouldn't have not wrote on this

1096
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 4: song or whatever, and just always stand in your ground.

1097
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 4: Like for me, I wish I would always did that

1098
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 4: because the artists after us, we're doing it and it's

1099
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:04,280
Speaker 4: just snowball into what it is now. I would say maybe,

1100
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 4: but taking a certain I would say, like we should

1101
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 4: have took this publishing deal.

1102
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 2: We were like, we were very like the one with

1103
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 2: Randy Jackson.

1104
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 3: We were.

1105
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 4: Oh no, with Randy Jackson, he was all good, that

1106
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 4: was a good situation, but he ended up getting a

1107
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 4: job with an American IDOL. So that's how I knew

1108
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 4: that that would have been a great situation. He was

1109
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 4: very he was feeling us. He was at MCA Records

1110
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 4: at that time, so that was a very good look.

1111
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 3: So no, it wasn't. It was a publishing deal.

1112
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 4: Like in this business, you have to see where writers, right,

1113
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 4: So when you're a songwriter, you can say no or

1114
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 4: yes to a publishing deal. So I think we would

1115
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 4: have got a lot more money if we would have

1116
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 4: said yes to it was a publish deal that was

1117
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 4: being offered to us, and we was like, no, we

1118
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 4: weren't all on song like you now, what's his name.

1119
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 3: And what's his name?

1120
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 4: He's an artist, dang I just lost his name, but

1121
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 4: he was a solo artist and his mother back in

1122
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 4: the days, dang I cannot forget it better than his name.

1123
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:05,320
Speaker 3: I'm so mad.

1124
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 4: But anyway I'm saying this to say is that his

1125
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 4: mother made the decision to be like, you know what,

1126
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep, We're not gonna sell and do the

1127
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 4: and it worked for him, the publishing deal.

1128
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 3: He's he he's see.

1129
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 4: Very successful, very financially well off. But his mother made

1130
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 4: and we did the same thing. But for us, because

1131
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 4: of the sampling and because of the editor. That's why

1132
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 4: you got and that's how we talk about in our

1133
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 4: book you have to be educated when you get to

1134
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 4: these labels. At the beginning, there were some things that

1135
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 4: we lacked knowledge of, and because we were songwriters and

1136
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 4: it was a sample that he was not aware of,

1137
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 4: that was gonna be taking majority of the funds, ninety

1138
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 4: percent of the money. We could have did a publish deal,

1139
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 4: made so much money off of that because we were

1140
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 4: writers and write for other people. But we said, oh, no,

1141
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 4: you're a publish deal. So I regret that me because

1142
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 4: we would have got more. Would have said yes to

1143
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 4: that published See puppies dealer. They'll get you like a

1144
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 4: million or whatever the case may be. Whatever you negotiate,

1145
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 4: and you don't know what your that's gonna be. It's

1146
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 4: like it's like a publishing company taking a risk on

1147
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 4: your Yeah, take it like, oh, I'm gonna give them

1148
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 4: a million.

1149
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 3: This song is so hot, I'm gonna give them a

1150
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 3: million or whatever.

1151
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 4: We should have said yes to those to that particular

1152
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 4: situation instead of saying no, we said no. I can

1153
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 4: see why we said no because we wrote it. But

1154
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 4: then once the politics come behind the sampling, that was

1155
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 4: a lot of money that was taken away from us.

1156
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 2: What brought y'all back together? Was it the book?

1157
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 3: Yep, it was the book.

1158
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,240
Speaker 4: Wanted to tell our story. Wanted to tell our story

1159
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 4: because it was unfinished. That's why it's titled Unfinished Business,

1160
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 4: because there was things that needed to be talked about,

1161
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 4: and this was a segue to get you know, once

1162
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 4: we put this book out, we knew shows and people

1163
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 4: were going to be inquiring about us, which just happened,

1164
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 4: and you know, and that would be a chance for

1165
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 4: us to finish what we wanted to do and get

1166
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 4: our story out there at the same time providing information

1167
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 4: for those coming behind us. So we will all tell

1168
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 4: our perspective on a certain situation, whether it was good, bad,

1169
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 4: or ugly. But then there was a lesson behind that

1170
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 4: as well. So and so, like I told you earlier,

1171
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 4: it's a great read, it's entertaining, It got t and information.

1172
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 3: Now.

1173
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 4: I like the photos because cannot get those thirty five

1174
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 4: millimeters camera.

1175
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 3: Photos back in the day.

1176
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 4: After you see with certain people and like the stories

1177
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 4: what was going Let me, you don't look at the

1178
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 4: picture and you'd be like, I wonder what they was

1179
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 4: doing in this picture? We talk about what we're doing

1180
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 4: in that picture, right, whether it's what be Daddy came.

1181
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 3: Mary J.

1182
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 4: Blige or whatever whoever he was in contact with. We

1183
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 4: talk about those moments and I think and it makes

1184
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 4: a very good read because you I know me, I

1185
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,439
Speaker 4: don't time be looking in the picture and I'd be like, damn,

1186
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,760
Speaker 4: I wonder what was going on? Right, But that's something

1187
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 4: that's not We're talking about it from back in the days,

1188
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 4: and it's ours our and Kenya was our little photographer

1189
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 4: back then. Now people have photographers going with She was

1190
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 4: the photographer, she was the historian selfie.

1191
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 2: But in one of your interviews I was listening to,

1192
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 2: someone mentioned that y'all regret that y'all didn't take y'all,

1193
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,720
Speaker 2: y'all didn't jump in on the internet when they started

1194
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 2: booming so with social media. Do y'all remember that somebody

1195
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 2: saying that, like somebody had to regret that. I think

1196
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: somebody was telling y'all, y'all trying to figure things out

1197
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 2: after your contract, y'all, y'all trying to figure out what

1198
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 2: would be the next move, and the guy was like,

1199
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 2: y'all need to do get into the internet, Like y'all

1200
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 2: need to get started with that. So being as social

1201
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 2: media is what it is today, do y'all think that

1202
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 2: y'all journey may have been different if y'all would to

1203
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 2: embrace it the internet.

1204
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 4: Yes, because of the simple fact that's something and just

1205
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 4: embracing the internet would have brought something different. But it's

1206
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 4: like we our career went through that transition, and that's

1207
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 4: one of the reasons why we was always like a

1208
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 4: beat behind. So we were in the old school way

1209
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 4: of doing music. Then it started going into MP three's,

1210
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 4: and then the music industry got scared because they was

1211
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 4: losing music and money, you know, because people can download

1212
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 4: it for free, so you were losing it. Then it

1213
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 4: went to the CDs, and then then we kept going

1214
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 4: through the changes and transitions. So when you had a

1215
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 4: deal with somebody like I forgot his name already, that

1216
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 4: went to we were just talking about him, he was

1217
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 4: had a writing deal for us. Oh well, when we

1218
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 4: were in there in talks with him, the company changes.

1219
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 3: He moves on. So every time we met somebody that.

1220
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 4: Were changes in the industry or changes with their department,

1221
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 4: so that would change whatever deal we had in motion.

1222
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 4: So if we would have been able to, you know,

1223
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 4: cap jump in and capitalize on that. Of course things

1224
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 4: would have been different, and we did, but again we

1225
00:57:56,080 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 4: was always that beat behind behind, right, yeah, constantly changing.

1226
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 4: People didn't know their next move, right or what's the

1227
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,919
Speaker 4: best move. And thank god for me and King having

1228
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 4: degrees because you know, outside from this, I was a teacher,

Speaker 4: of put that in my teaching and I would do

1237
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 4: our little rides for my my my students and stuff

1238
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 4: like that. But you know, it was one of those

1239
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 4: things like I said, it was like so you know,

1240
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 4: everybody was losing money because if you remember the CD burning,

1241
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 4: people was burning them CDs and so artists was not

1242
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 4: making money. Instead of me being on drugs, I said,

1243
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 4: let me use my degree.

1244
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, and you.

1245
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 4: Know, see if we can get back in this game,

1246
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 4: and you know, that's how to and that's how the fallout,

1247
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 4: you know, it's part of the fallout happened. But I

1248
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 4: still was still actively working doing stuff with other people,

1249
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 4: but not remota step, not us as a group, because

1250
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 4: I loved it so much, of this so much so.

1251
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 2: So what advice would you give to young women who

1252
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 2: are just now entering the music industry today based on

1253
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 2: your experiences.

1254
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 4: I would say, be very anything that you're involved in,

1255
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 4: know what you're getting into. Know what you're getting into.

1256
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 4: Make sure you have an attorney, Do not take a

1257
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 4: lot in and be so don't be so excited to

1258
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 4: be down. Don't be so excited to be involved, Like,

1259
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 4: make sure your business sounding And you know what, now,

1260
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 4: you don't really need a label. You can do this

1261
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 4: stuff independ if you're willing to do the work. You

1262
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 4: have to do the work. Though, you can be independent

1263
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 4: and make your own and that's the and that's a

1264
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 4: good thing for them. Now you don't need a label

1265
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 4: to make you who you are. You got to support

1266
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 4: from social media and you can get that instant grati vacation.

1267
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 4: But you still want to know when all that money

1268
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,439
Speaker 4: come to you. You want to know how you deal

1269
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 4: with it financially. Management, business management. You got to have

1270
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 4: your business in order right because you don't know it

1271
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 4: happened so quick. It can happen so fast next one

1272
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 4: day you could be talking like right now next to

1273
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 4: your millionaire.

1274
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 3: Or you can make it.

1275
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 4: You know, you can be doing so you have to

1276
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 4: know what you're getting involved in so you can keep

1277
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 4: the success going for yourself.

1278
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 2: And last one, not least, what do you think is

1279
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 2: the legacy of Mocha stuff.

1280
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 4: I think the legacy would probably ben being authentic. We

1281
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 4: was always authentic. I think our legacy of being authentic

1282
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 4: and no one can say that we you know, we

1283
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 4: never we never backed down on who we were, even

1284
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 4: though there was there was some moments that we did

1285
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 4: like kind of had to change some stuff up and

1286
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 4: we couldn't be ourself with our music. But when it

1287
01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 4: came down to our dignity, we can't. We We wasn't

1288
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 4: out there, you know, having sex with different artists. We

1289
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 4: wasn't doing stuff. We wasn't playing ourself like that. We

1290
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 4: were very you know, we was very smart about that.

1291
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 4: Our dignity meant a lot. Ourentegreave meant a lot to us.

1292
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 4: We can go to bed at night. I think we

1293
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 4: can go to bed at night and be like we

1294
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 4: didn't We didn't sell our soul, right right, Like I

1295
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 4: think I think one I think one artists say this.

1296
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 4: I think it's Maya. Maya's kind of like us. She

1297
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 4: she didn't sell us. So it's like we didn't sell

1298
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 4: our soul. And I think the authenticity of our music

1299
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 4: it lives long because nobody wrote it for us.

1300
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 3: We wrote it ourselves.

1301
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 4: It was us as a collective doing what we needed

1302
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 4: to do, from dancing to sing it.

1303
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 3: So no one could take that away from us, no one,

1304
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 3: right right.

1305
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's definitely and miss Kenya. I really enjoyed y'all

1306
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 2: on the show. I'm so happy that we were able

1307
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 2: to do this, and I cannot wait for my audience

1308
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 2: to hear this because I feel like I grew up

1309
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 2: on your music and I had a memory that completely forgot.

1310
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 2: But I remember y'all being on all that.

1311
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 3: Girl. I know, girl, that was such a fun moment.

1312
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 3: All that. I loved all.

1313
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 4: That, right that was when you saw that that that

1314
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 4: stuff was so much fun.

1315
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 2: Yes, that was such a vibe.

1316
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 4: Like I missed shows like that, So when you talking

1317
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 4: about certain I missed shows.

1318
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 3: Like that like all that. That was the wonderful. It

1319
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:22,439
Speaker 3: was very fun.

1320
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 4: Like you know, I think Saturday Life is like more

1321
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 4: like that, but you know, Saturday Life kind of give

1322
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 4: that in an adult version that that was a fun vibe.

1323
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 2: No, I mean too. I mean the nineties itself was

1324
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 2: just that that's an error where you just you can't

1325
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 2: duplicate it, like you just had to be there.

1326
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 4: You just had to be there and and girl and

1327
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 4: you know you had to be there. And it's so

1328
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 4: funny that I think that that's what I like about

1329
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 4: our book because let me tell you, I was like, Dad,

1330
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,720

1331
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 4: certain things that you be tripping off of, Like wow,

1332
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 4: we had a picture of this and it was so

1333
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 4: long ago, you know what I mean. That's what That's

1334
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 4: what makes it so beautiful because you know now you

1335
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 4: can see everything so quick, right, but just imagine all

1336
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 4: these pictures of stuff you like, wow, look house, I

1337

01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 4: our book. We cracked jokes about ourselves how crazy we looked.

1339
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,920
