1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Quest Love Supreme is a production of iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back. My name is Questlove.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: Last week we had this long overdue talk with our friend,

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: our love, Jill Scott. Coming up without further ado, Part

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: two of our exciting interview on Quest Love Supreme One

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: and only Miss Jill Scott. This is like our first

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: real extended conversation has lasted more than an hour in

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: our twenty years of knowing each other.

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: Now I understand why she ended up working with Jazz Jail.

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: And even Ryan. I was trying. I called. I called

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 3: James Poyser because I knew him from the Jam sessions.

12
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: I called every producer that I knew of, every studio

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: that I knew of, to find out if they needed

14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: a writer or a singer. And for six months, nobody

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 3: said anything. And then one day I saw Jazzy Jeff

16
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: on the street talking to Rich Mendena and I was like,

17
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: what's up. I'm just annoyed, you know, heading to the theater,

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 3: go sweep floors and clean toilets. And I walked away

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: and Jeff was like, who's that? And Rich told him, now,

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: that's Jill Scot. He was like that's Jills guy. She

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: calls my studio every day.

22
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

23
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: And then they called me in to see if I

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 3: could write a song, but I, you know, still lying.

25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, yeah, I write a song, and

26
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: I tried it and it worked out. It just and

27
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: it kept working out, and it just until album happened,

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: and you kept working.

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,919
Speaker 2: What was the first song that you wrote?

30
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: The first song at a touch of jazz? The first

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: song that I ever wrote? Well, the hook I ever

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: wrote was you got me?

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, dog, that's what she said.

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: She said, she faked her.

35
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: I know that, but I still was hoping to get

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Claire that my song wasn't your first, got first?

37
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: But what you get?

38
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: Are you serious?

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: I am for all listening to this episode. That's a

40
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: life lesson. You stepped into some ship, into an opportunity.

41
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: I would have thought that by that point you, I mean,

42
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: you handled it like you've been doing this ship for

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: seven eight years.

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: You I've never once heard you say this is the

45
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: first song I ever wrote? And wait? Also, how does

46
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: it feel to be Drake famous? Did you like your

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: shout out?

48
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,800

00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,799

Speaker 4: what do you say, Jill? What did he say to you?

53
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: He talked about his quest on Jill Scott on this

54
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: new album.

55
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I'll go listen to that sweet All the

Speaker 5: kids are listening to it.

00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 3: It's very sweet, banging.

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: I mean, okay, yeah, she got thanks ma'am.

59
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: Thinks you yo.

60
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 5: But Joe, weren't you one of the one of the

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 5: rare artists that actually got the whole touch of jazz

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 5: involved in your record, because it's not like too many

63
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 5: artists that have everybody right?

64
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? What was it like at the point where they

65
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: were together like.

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: As magic magic? I missed that, I think. I mean,

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: that's the thing I missed the most. We had so

68
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: much fun in every room. They were working every room,

69
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: five rooms, four rooms or whatever it was at the time.

70
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: You just walk out of one and go to the

71
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: next a totally different energy, and then you go in

72
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: the next room and laugh hysterically. Vidal of course was

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: hilarious and still is, and and Dre is learning how

74
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: to play the guitar at the time. And Keith is

75
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: straight out of church, so all of his stuff, everything

76
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: that he puts his fingers to on the keys. It

77
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: just feels like like old soul because the church that

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: he was in his father was a pastor, and it

79
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: just had felt old and rich and everything it was.

80
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: We had fun. We didn't have any money. We shared

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: cheese steaks, We cut out, cut out the McDonald's bags

82
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 3: to go to great event not great adventures. All rolled

83
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: in Dre's car. It had a hole in the floor

84
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: if you sat in the front seat, not fall asleep

85
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: and let your feet fall in the hole because it

86
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: was a rap.

87
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 4: Rap.

88
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: We were broke and it was fun and it was

89
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 3: probably still the best time I ever had.

90
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 6: Or you were working, you were working on the album

91
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 6: or what would become the album. This was before Hidden

92
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 6: Beach even came into the picture.

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I had been calling Jeff and finally he'd seen

94
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 3: me and he said, okay, you can come in. I

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: called again and said why did you come down? And

96
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: none of the guys wanted to give me any music,

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: So I kind of hung around, stood around, hung around us,

98
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: Well do you have anything that you know that I

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: could take? And they were like, oh no, no, we're

100
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: working with Will Smooth, working with you know, And I

101
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: was like, uh, well, the studio. I gotta find a

102
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: way to come back here. You know, the lobby, the

103
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: wood is exposed. Can I stand in Polly your thing

104
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: the lobby? So to look at me seriously, I'm very serious,

105
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: and Jeff was like, oh, that would look nice. And

106
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: I said, well, you know, can I do it? And

107
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: he was like all right, I'll give you. You know, I'll

108
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: give you money for the supplies. And I stained in

109
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: poly your thing the lobby and so Scott was going

110
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: on in the other rooms, and you know, they would

111
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: come out and leave the door open and let me

112
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: hear sometimes or I would, you know, go in for

113
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: a minute and to say, oh, I like that. And

114
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: then eventually they gave me a tape and they had

115
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: seven songs on them, and those seven songs ended up

116
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 3: being on who is Jill Scott?

117
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 5: And the Rain was after that? Right, I'm sorry, you

118
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: said Will Smith. So I just automatically went to the rain.

119
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 5: It happened later, okay, after.

120
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 3: After they started letting me write and then uh sing,

121
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: because I had to let him know. I wasn't planning

122
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: on singing, but I had to let him know how

123
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: it went. And they were like, oh, yeah, that was

124
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: that was good, Wait a minute you sing?

125
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, Joe was be ready in one

126
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 5: of these seven songs.

127
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: Be Ready came later? Damn, Okay, be Ready came Later.

128
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: I love that song.

129
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: But that's the most amazing story I've ever heard. Mom.

130
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 6: One thing we never talked about, like your voice. How

131
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 6: did you develop your voice? You said you didn't like

132
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 6: really sing in choirs or church or whatever.

133
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: How did you develop your style?

134
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 3: I did sing at Girls High, but we sang classical

135
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: music primarily, and that just it just felt nice to me.

136
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: And then they sent me on some school trip and

137
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: I saw Kathleen Battle sing and was like, oh my god,

138
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: I didn't even know there was such thing as a

139
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: black opera singer, Like this is dope. And then I

140
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: mostly honestly, I just started being a mimic. I mimicked

141
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: Anita Baker, I mimicked philisheymon, Kathleen Battle mimicked her. That.

142
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: I think that's just where it started. You know, I

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: didn't have any plans to sing at all. I'm still amazed.

144
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: I'm still like, what you want me to? What? All right? Okay?

145
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 6: So yeah, Jeff, he said the same thing about he said,

146
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 6: like when y'all first started working that and you can,

147
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 6: you know, tell me for stort. He was saying that

148
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 6: they kind of had to convince you, I guess, to sing,

149
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 6: like you know, they were more so interested in doing

150
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 6: the poetry, but.

151
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: He was like, yo, what the hell, Like, nah, you

152
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: need to do that ship. You know what I'm saying.

153
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: He was kind of pushing you to do it.

154
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he was definitely a motivating force. And then

155
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: I think when I when I started singing in front

156
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: of people, this was before that. I mean yeah, this

157
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: was before Hit a Touch of Jazz or Hitting Beach

158
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: or any of that. Richmondina and I we were sitting

159
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: outside my house and normally and things had gone real bad.

160
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 3: I knew, all uk, it was anew all the crack kids.

161
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: Nobody ever bothered me. You know, somebody would like try

162
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: to run up on me or whatever, and then they

163
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: sing it like oh hey hey hey Jill. And if

164
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: they were real hot to be like Jill, Jill, you

165
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: know right, you know, they got to give you a

166
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 3: double that's right, right, what's something or mayor then some

167
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: guy pulled up on us and tried to rob us

168
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: sitting in front of my house and shot at us. Actually,

169
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: Richard pulled off and the guy shot at us, and

170
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: everything I think was different. We had a poetry reading

171
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 3: the next day and I went to it in my

172
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: pajamas because I couldn't figure out how to put clothes on. Like,

173
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: my safety was gone. Everything I knew that was my own,

174
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: this is my hood, these are my crackheads, this is

175
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: my drug dealers, this is my block. You know, I'm

176
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: safe was gone, and I instead of writing or reciting

177
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: the poem I had written, I just started singing. And

178
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: that was That was the beginning. It must have been

179
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: two No, couldn't have been two thousand and probably ninety eight,

180
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 3: ninety yeah, probably like ninety eight, gotcha. And that's when

181
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: I was like, I think I could do this. You know,

182
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 3: I probably could do this. I'll just try to be

183
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 3: a writer, because lord knows, I don't want to be famous.

184
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

185
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: So what was that like? Well, first of all, there's

186
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: a question I had about your block. The house that

187
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: the video to Long Walk is connected to. Is that

188
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: your childhood home? Yes, And the same house is getting

189
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: in the way.

190
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: You're just sitting in front the.

191
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: One that I came out of for getting in the way.

192
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: Is across the street from my house. I passed my

193
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 3: house right and the one that I was sitting on

194
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: the steps for a long Walk, that's a neighbor's.

195
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: I gotta say the intro to long Walk no fully strong,

196
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: the intro yeah, well no, no, no, I don't even mean

197
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: the video. Of course the video too, because you're smiling

198
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, But the ten seconds, the first

199
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds of long Walk, the song is probably like

200
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: I have like my top five.

201
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: Half the adrenaline moments, like things I.

202
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Have to hear if I need to like get in

203
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: a mood of happiness or whatever.

204
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: Long Walk and Herb Albert's Root one oh one or

205
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: those two songs, which is where don't look up Herb Alberts.

206
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: People associated that with the Dentist Office happy song, But yeah, man,

207
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: it's something.

208
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: That like, do you ever get tired of.

209
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: People's fandom of because I feel as though they don't

210
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: give your entire catalog a fair shot. Only because I

211
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: think that sort of like your association with Wiz, I

212
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: think the sentimental attachment to discovering you as an artist

213
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: as a fan, discovering you as an artist and what

214
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: the soundtrack of that album for everyone in two thousand,

215
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: like it was perfect because no one saw it coming.

216
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: And to me, nobody saw it coming. Like literally on

217
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: I'll say the soundtrack to the Voodoo Tour was like

218
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: just playing it every twenty.

219
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: Four to seven.

220
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: If I'm not playing it, Anthony Hamilton's playing in the back.

221
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: Even the you know, D'Angelo is so retro, like he

222
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't dare listen to anything older than like thirty years

223
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: Like even he's rocking that shit because no one is

224
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: expecting it. Like how how was it the first go

225
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: round in your taste of celebrity and your relationship with

226
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: your family, your relationship with your friends, and I might

227
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: have to move out of this neighborhood like separation?

228
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: Can you come back?

229
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 5: Is?

230
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: What's Thanksgiving?

231
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: Like?

232
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: In Thanksgiving two thousand and one? Like what was it?

233
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: What was it like the first year and a half

234
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: that after that album came out?

235
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: Well it, I could say there were a lot more

236
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 3: people at the family re union then that ever showed

237
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: up for sure. Yeah, man, I didn't expect anything, so

238
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: I got way more than I expected because I wasn't

239
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: expecting anything. But Lizella and I were living together and uh,

240
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 3: and our little second floor walk up and people were

241
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,599
Speaker 3: riding by playing the music at three four o'clock in

242
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: the morning, you know, just highest capacity, just so loud.

243
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: And I at first, honestly, I was blown I just

244
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: was blown away. I didn't expect anything, so I was

245
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: really didn't know how to take it, didn't didn't know

246
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: what to feel about it either. Oh, it just started

247
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: to hurt.

248
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: In what way?

249
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: In what way because people there were the presumption that

250
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: they knew everything about me or who I was instead

251
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: of just meeting me, and that hurt. It hurt me,

252
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: Like I've got sense, right.

253
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 5: I heard, she heard, I know her from this to that.

254
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 3: She's like this, so she's like that, and I'm like,

255
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 3: I'm still growing, I'm still figuring it out. I I

256
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm out here trying to live and you

257
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: still have.

258
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 5: And they gave you the earthy label too, which for

259
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 5: us at black radio, trying to play your radio, play

260
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 5: your song, we were trying to make people understand the

261
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 5: difference in earthy and neo soul people and regular old folks,

262
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 5: in the fact that they were regular old folks.

263
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 4: She wrote a song about beating a bitious ass, like

264
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: why can't she be.

265
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 6: There's nothing conscious about this now.

266
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: But they put you in that bubble.

267
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: Bubbles happened. You know. I didn't like that either. I

268
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: just didn't like the world thinking that they knew who

269
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: or what or why I was even here before I did.

270
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: You know, I'm still figuring it out twenty years later.

271
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: You know, who is Jill Scott? So much has changed,

272
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: you know, it's way different than it was last year.

273
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a mother of eleven year old. Now

274
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: that's way different from ten. I don't care who you

275
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: talk to.

276
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 5: You talk now, aren't you them teaching in handy?

277
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: They have to? You know, we're in the middle of

278
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: a pandemic. What does that mean? Who do I become

279
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: in the middle of a pandemic? Or who does anybody become?

280
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: You know, I'm I still like simple things, no matter

281
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: how fancy my life may appear. I still hug trees.

282
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: I think they're the bomb.

283
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 4: I do argument about you being earthy, but that's fine.

284
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: That's what I fart with them. You know, I'm still

285
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: very very simple in these ways, and I treasure that

286
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 3: about myself. I just take it all with with a

287
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: grain of salt all the time, all the time. I

288
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: don't need I don't. I don't need the athlete so much.

289
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: What I need is to be able to pay all

290
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: my bills. I need to be able to go on

291
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: vacations and enjoy them. I need to be able to

292
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: help my people where I can. I need to be

293
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: able to not worry that I'm headed back where it

294
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: came from because I don't want to go. I don't

295
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: want to be shot at. I don't. I don't want

296
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: to have to fend off, you know, crackheads trying to

297
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 3: shoot at me. I don't want that light.

298
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: So you have nightmares of one day this could be

299
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: over and I'll be back at twenty third and blah

300
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: blah blah.

301
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: I have nightmares of not having food in the pantry.

302
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: That is.

303
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 3: That's a big one.

304
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: I remember that.

305
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: It comes from quite some time where neighbors, Jehovah witnesses particularly,

306
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: were coming by dropping off baskets of food because we

307
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: didn't have any. And I'm you know, it's not like

308
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: I'm really pulling out a violin for sad songs. This

309
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: is my existence, this is my life, and these are

310
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: the things that keep me grounded. I know that it

311
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,239
Speaker 3: only takes one wrong phrase or one wrong song or

312
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 3: one wrong role, or you know, to have to have

313
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 3: a society cancel you or or shoe you away and

314
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 3: not value you, know, what you bring to the table.

315
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 3: I don't think that I'm the greatest singer. I think

316
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: that I offer a lot of spirit. I think that

317
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 3: whatever if it's passion or lust, if it's if it's

318
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 3: fear or pain or happiness, simple joys, whatever they may be,

319
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: thought process when I sing, you can hear that. And

320
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 3: that's my gift. I'm able to convey emotions well. And

321
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm aware.

322
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 6: Now you you do that well, and you I always

323
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 6: wanted to tell you this, like you really played a

324
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 6: big role, probably annoyingly for me. I was doing the

325
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 6: session with Jeff like some years ago, and it was

326
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 6: a little brother song and me and Pooh we were

327
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 6: driving up the Delaware and we had in our mind, okay,

328
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: it's rap the rap rap time.

329
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: We about to damn wrap this nigg under the table,

330
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

331
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 6: And so we just like, all right, this rap the

332
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 6: rap rap, And so we get to the to the

333
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 6: spot and Jeff is just playing like all these kind

334
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 6: of R and B records, you know what I'm saying,

335
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 6: and they were dope. I mean, the shit was dope,

336
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 6: but it was not what we expected, you know what

337
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 6: I mean. And so we ended up doing the song

338
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 6: where pooh rhyme, and I mean, I ended up singing

339
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 6: on it. And so I was just singing because Jeff

340
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 6: had to touch your flight and stuff, and so I'm

341
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 6: just kind of cutting vocals, not really thinking about it.

342
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 6: And so I came out to booth and I was like,

343
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 6: Jeff had this look on his face. I thought I

344
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 6: had fucked up. I said, Man, what's wrong? He was like, man,

345
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 6: you need to be singing all this time. You need

346
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 6: to be singing. I was like, Jeff, Dude, I just

347
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 6: kind of did it because that's what we had. I

348
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 6: don't really want to do it. He was like, man,

349
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 6: you know who the same You know who else said that?

350
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 6: You know who else said that same shit. I was like,

351
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 6: who he said?

352
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: Jill?

353
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 6: And I was like, damn, like word and he said

354
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 6: at that time that he told me, he said, man,

355
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 6: sometimes people can see things in you that you don't

356
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 6: see in yourself. He was like, bro, you got something

357
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 6: keep doing And that's something that I always always just

358

Speaker 6: want to share that with you you know you really

359
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 6: When I when I heard when when he heard when

360
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 6: I heard him say that Jill Scott didn't think she

361
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 6: was a good singer, I said, well, nigga, God damn,

362
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 6: everybody must hate they voice then, because I love your voice,

Speaker 2: to me. Jill.

366
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: What is your preparation for acting and how different how

367
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: does it differ to your preparation for singing and songwriting?

368
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: Like what's your creative process? Are you meditation?

369
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: Is it? Like? What's what's your creative approach to it?

370
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: Probably terror is the first step for me, Like I

371
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: just don't want to fuck up so bad. I don't

372
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: want to be the weak link in the room. I

373
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 3: don't that's I just don't want that.

374
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 4: What was the first one, Jie?

375
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: Was it?

376
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 4: Why did I get married?

377
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

378
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: Yeah?

379
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 3: And the first TV show was Girlfriends and Marlbrock I

380
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: killed gave me an ARC. She had never even seen

381
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: me act before and gave me an ARC. And I

382
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 3: was like, come on, God, like, I'm just like out

383
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 3: here blessed, like crazy, and it's like ridiculous, goodness, gracious, anyway,

384
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 3: how do I prepare like versus it's terror. And then

385
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: there's homework because so I could be prepared, and I

386
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 3: study a lot, a lot. I try to take walks

387
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 3: where I can and be still where I can, and

388
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 3: then I need to move my body, you know, so

389
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: that I could feel that person you know in me

390
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: around me. And then the famous line is to be

391
00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 3: that guy. That's it, Be that guy at all costs,

392
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: whatever that means.

393
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: Who challenged you the most in his acting journey, like

394
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 5: as far as like direction, Anthony Minguela, he was.

395
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 3: He he directed the talent in mister Ripley. Okay, I

396
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: think in the Piano lesson Cold Mountain.

397
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: HBO. Serious, correct.

398
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 3: Yes, he auditioned me six times, Yes, for hours. It

399
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: was the most gruesome experience. At some point I was like,

400
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 3: fuck you either you want me or you don't, Like

401
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,879

Speaker 3: come tomorrow. Come to New York tomorrow, dude, like I

Speaker 3: gotta know by now if you want me or not.

405
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: And his auditions were brutal. Okay say the lines, and

406
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 3: now your your left rib is cracked. Go okay, say

407
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 3: the lines and now you have something stuck in your

Speaker 3: right eyelash. Go now say the lines and you're you

409
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,719

413
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: taken instruction or.

414
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what he was doing, but being Anthony Miguela,

415
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: the man won like eight oscars exactly.

416
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,560

419
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: I was. I was really hurt when I didn't win

420
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: an NAACP image word for that role. I was really

421
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 3: hurt because I shot that ship. I was. I left

422
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 3: there seven months pregnant. We worked in one hundred and

423
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: seventeen degrees casually and location, right on location in Botswana

424
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: for seven months. And yeah, three months the first time,

425
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 3: four months the next time. And I was just like,

426
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: I shot a show about Africa, you know, even though

427
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: it's fictional.

428
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 5: In Africa, and you lived it every birthday, and now

429
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 5: you're playing them where they usually play us exactly.

430
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: Well, if they get the opportunity, which is a real treasures.

431
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: Did it take you to have that accent comfortably.

432
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: We they I had was studying an hour day every

433
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 3: day for two months, and then when I got there,

434
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: it was all wrong. They gave me a zim accent

435
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 3: and not a Mutsuana accent.

436
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: Whoa.

437
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: So I had to unlearned everything and relearn it real fast.

438
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 3: And the Mutswana women, the elder women would sit around.

439
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 3: If I got something wrong, they go yeah ah, and

440
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: I was like, that's not the sound that I wanted

441
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: to hear. I did not want to let them down

442
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: in any way. And then when I got stuff right,

443
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: you hear them go, my gay, you're live for my guad?

444
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: What happened? What happened with the show? Why did they

445
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 2: only do one passed away? Right?

446
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: Yes? He did, Yes he did. He was He was

447
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: so brilliant, and I thought that he was a flirt.

448
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: I didn't know what was going on. He was so touchy, like,

449
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: stop touching me all the time. I don't like it.

450
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: I smacked him because I was like this too much.

451
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're doing. And then his wife

452
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: came and I had an opportunity to see them together

453
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 3: and I realized, oh my god, he's not flirting he's Italian,

454
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 3: he's just he's just he's just loving an Italian. And

455
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: then after that our relationship just you know, flew. You know,

456
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 3: he was brilliant, and it was Sidney Pollack who was

457
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 3: the executive producer, and Harvey Weinstein was ta Yeah. So

458
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: Sydney passed away first and then Anthony passed soon after.

459
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: You know, I tried to get the show to continue,

460
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 3: but nobody was really interested. I don't know. I thought

461
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: it was because the show was too positive. You know,

462
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 3: there wasn't a bunch of disease and murder and you know,

463
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: war and and aids. You know, it's just people being

464
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 3: people in Africa, you know what I'm saying. Like it was,

465
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: it wasn't enough death in destruction. So you know, this

466
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: sweethearted show couldn't continue.

467
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 2: Are there any ideas that you like to develop for.

468
00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's one light. No, But I've had my

469
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 3: finger on one for quite some time at a few

470

504
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 6: Some of my favorite songs of yours are always just

505
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 6: your short kind of interlude songs like Crown Royal and

506
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 6: hear My Hear My Call.

507
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 2: I think that's the right.

508
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 6: I just those are just gorgeous fucking songs like what's

509
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 6: your thought process and just making them short versus like

510
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 6: full you know, I guess verse, chorus, bridge, whatever kind

511
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 6: of songs.

512
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: I think, when it's done, it's done. I just I

513
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 3: just feel that way, like when it's done, it's done.

514
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: Keep I could, you know, keep forcing the issue. But

515
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 3: you know, when you bust it up, you did it alrey,

516
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: you know necessarily you don't necessarily have to go back

517
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: for more.

518
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: It could be like that's what it was, it all right?

519
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: Can I ask for hear My Call specifically?

520
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: Is yeah, that was you? That was your idea?

521
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 4: Oh he was starting for cretic go, I get it.

522
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: No, not even is it still draining and emotional for

523
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: you to sing it?

524
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: Or do you have a she's out of my life

525
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: relationship with it now where it's like you can phone

526
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: it in if you want to, Like what if there's

527
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: a night where you're just not in the mood to

528
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: rock that song, but you know that there's expectations to

529
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: or I've just never seen a song in which people

530
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: are boohoo crying anytime. And I'm seeing you probably like

531
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: seven times in concert, yeah, and mostly in the back

532
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: row now because I'm sorry about that. Somehow they placed

533
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: me like dead row, front row center, like Jill's first

534
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: Philly show.

535
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: I'm sorry it is to see. No, I'm just saying

536
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 3: I won't do that to you. I'll try to make

537
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: sure that they don't do that to him for it.

538
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: No. No, I went to the back row because it

539
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: was like, you.

540
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: Don't want to be in the front row.

541
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: I was in the front row, dead center, in front

542
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: of you, and I was like.

543
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: Oh god, why am I?

544
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: My point is you're the reason why you're such an

545
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: amazing performer is because it's it's it's heartfelt, and it's

546
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: believable and it's authentic. That song, in particular, breaks people's

547
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: hearts so much every time they hear it. Are there

548
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: times where you're just like, Nope, no more, I'm not

549
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: doing this anymore.

550
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: Like smells like teen Spirit.

551
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 3: They well, the audiences in Europe, they typically won't leave

552
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: until I see it. They will not leave, no matter

553
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: what I say, no matter how many lights come on.

554
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: They're waiting for it. And I saw ridiculously I could

555
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: barely finish the dance. You know, I those are the time?

556
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 3: Why did you? Why did you write that? Why did

557
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: you say that? Why damn it? And then record it

558
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: and have the audacity to put it on a project

559
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 3: so other people can hear it. But I feel like

560
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: that's the work. You know, you want people to smile

561
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: randomly or you know, flirt or be or feel in love,

562
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 3: feel it, you know, and if you need to to

563
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: mourn you something, there should be music for that too.

564
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 3: There's music for cooking, there's music for cleaning, you know,

565
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: there's there's all this good music. Luckily for us, you know,

566
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 3: humanity and music we're so connected. And I struggled with that.

567
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: You know, I typically sobbed myself and then you know,

568
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 3: it's a whole audience full of tears and it just

569
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: is what it is. And you know that means there's

570
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: hugs to be given because I need to feel better

571
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: and so to you, So you know, I typically come

572
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 3: out and then you know, before COVID, you know, we

573
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: held each other. It's just you know it's not my

574
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 3: favorite to do the sad songs, but I'm here for it,

575
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: and apparently the audience came forward to Man, I think

576
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: it's well written. I have to give myself some credit

577
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 3: on that. I think that my pen definitely poured out

578
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 3: my heart at that time.

579
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 4: Can you only sing your songs, Jill?

580
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: You think I can't sing everybody songs? No?

581
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 4: I mean a song written by someone else.

582
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can sing a song written by somebody else

583
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: for me if it's for you, right, if.

584
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: It's something got gotcha?

585
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

586
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, I have a question. Okay, first, let me

587
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 6: give your flowers for Rolling Heels. I love that song

588
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 6: me to. I hope that's one. Maybe it'll be one

589
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,200

Speaker 2: I love that.

592
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 3: It's so hard to choose because they're you know, they're

593
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: asking me for twenty of my favorite songs, and I'm like,

594
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 3: my my favorites are kind of obscure, sure, Like I don't.

595
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 5: Know'm going on the danger zone, the danger zone, just

596
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 5: the danger zone when when the artist picks out all

597
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 5: these songs and don't realize that these have nothing to

598
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 5: do with people, love but the people, And then you

599
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 5: realize the reason for the record label. You go, oh, yeah,

600
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,920

613
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:17,640

Speaker 1: went on to like get record deals and stuff, they

662
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: were like the they were like it was like toy story.

Speaker 2: They were the broken.

664
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 1: Toys left behind and they all grouped up super powered

665
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: and then became.

666
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 2: And I was like, yo, what the fun happened? Like

00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 2: they started kicking our ass.

668
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 5: They were who you look forward to singing every week

669
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 5: and next thing, you know, yeah, they just thick up

670
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 5: the kindred the family.

671
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: So they're amazing.

672
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 4: So we went.

673
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: And they went to Hidden Beach.

674
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: They did to be.

675
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 3: Forgot.

676
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, so what happened with Hitten from your perspective, because

677
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 6: just from a consumer side, they had you and like

678
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 6: we were like, yes, Jill, like that was it was

679
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 6: all jo Jo jail.

680
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: Then they did the it was Brenda Russell. They did

681
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 2: that album.

682
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 4: They did The Brain.

683
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a Paris Rain and then Rock Volume

684
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 6: yeah one through eight.

685
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So like, what was your experience with them?

686
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 6: How that relationship I guess kind of deteriorated on your side.

687
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 2: It did.

688
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 3: I thought that they had some really good artists on

689
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 3: their Hidden Kendred being one of them. They you know,

690
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 3: that's Kendred, and they're so talented and the songwriting is

691
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 3: so good and their stage performance is so amazing. You

692
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 3: need to put more money into Kendred. But I didn't

693
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 3: have a say in what Hidden Beach did because they're

694
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 3: the label. I'm not the label, and I didn't like that.

695
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: I didn't like that, and that didn't feel good to

696
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 3: me that I couldn't be of service in that way.

697
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 3: You know. I watched them sign a lot of artists

698
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 3: and I was like, what are you doing? What are

699
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 3: you doing? And I thought I thought that we had

700
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 3: a friendship. I thought that we had this this family

701
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 3: thing that was happening. So when I realized it was

702
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 3: just business, you know, I was really disappointed. And then

703
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 3: President Obama was I was working on being in office

704
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 3: and and everything was about the election, and they weren't

705
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 3: being supportive and I didn't feel like they were helping

706
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: me at all with radio. I didn't realize until later

707
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 3: on how much everything that occurred had to do with

708
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: my effort. So, you know, I'm coming up with the album,

709
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm working out the images, I'm you know, handing out flyers,

710
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 3: I'm you know, I did a lot coming up with

711
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 3: every idea. I designed the videos. The first you know,

712
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: three videos, I was like, I'm dism what I do.

713
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 3: I'm tired. Can somebody else, you know, like I can't

714
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 3: do it all? And then you know, go to these

715
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 3: I had pneumonia I think like three times in two

716
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 3: years because I toured that first two years without balance.

717
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 3: That's one of the things with young artists. I'm like, yes, absolutely,

718
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: go out there and do the hustle, but you have

719
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 3: to have a balance or you will lose your mind

720
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 3: and you will lose your health. And the goal is longevity.

721
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 3: It's Frankie Beverly, that Middler longevity out here, and that's

722
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 3: what I'm rich. That's what I'm saying, that's who I want,

723
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 3: that's what I want. And I thought I was killing

724
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 3: myself trying to, you know, make it work for the label.

725
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: And I was like, so I left, and you know,

726
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 3: I think the last number was like they tried to

727
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 3: see me for like nineteen million?

728
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 2: What under on what grounds that I left?

729
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 3: That I was leaving? And I had a couple of

730
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,680

00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 5: this feels a little shady, But what was the story

Speaker 5: behind it? The albums that they put out, the Hidden

740
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 5: Beach records that they put out.

741
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 3: It certainly didn't feel good to me. And it wasn't

742
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: like I had any thing to say, you know, I

767
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 6: love that song, man. I think that the way you

768
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 6: plan your versus is, first off, you gotta think of

769
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 6: what the other artist's biggest songs are and think counter

770
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 6: that way what you're gonna counter it with.

771
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how you say. So y'all, if you already

772
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 2: know her Haymakers. If you already know her Haymakers, then

773
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: you know then what is what I can do?

774
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 6: And you got to think of your songs that you

775
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 6: can use to.

776
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 2: To get her to drop some bullshit.

777
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 3: But you got to understand that I'm thinking about the

778
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 3: my audience like my min the people that come to

779
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 3: my shows like they they know ship, they oh shit

780
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 3: and can't wait for that moment.

781
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 6: But you but this though, I say, you can't think

782
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 6: about your audience. You kind of got to almost think

783
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 6: of the demographic that's gonna be on I G Live

784
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 6: and it may or may not be the same people.

785
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 6: So it's like you got to think about it from

786
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 6: the standpoint of like all right, because I was talking

787
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,479
Speaker 6: about this on Twitter the other day, it's like who

788
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 6: picking a winner? And I put that in very loose

789
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 6: quotation marks because I mean, we love both of y'all,

790
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 6: and so there's no thank you.

791
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 2: I mean, no, no one loses.

792
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 6: I mean this is a celebration, you know what I'm saying.

793
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's for the culture. Yeah, I know what.

794
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 3: I love the way the Riza and DJ Premier did theirs.

795
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 3: I think that's my favorite one, being Teddy Riley at

796
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 3: jail right now, it's all about not.

797
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 4: And so what I want to say to Jill because

798
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 4: I don't know if she's aware, but you do know.

799
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 5: That Erica is up on her Techi ship right now,

800
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 5: right like she's got her own streaming service.

801
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 4: She's performing in bubbles and ship like that.

802
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, the energy you bring right now is

803
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 2: like instigating.

804
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, this is fuck. I love both

805
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 4: of them. I love both. I mean Jails my sister,

806
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 4: but I love both of the music. Whatever.

807
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 5: What I'm saying is that I just want her to

808
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 5: understand who she's playing against, because I don't know if

809
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 5: she's been, you know, playing attention, she been in her

810
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 5: COVID world. So I'm just saying that Erica's gonna come

811
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 5: with technology. And do you think, Amir Fonte, Bill Steve,

812
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 5: that Jill should fight back with.

813
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, all you have to do is, Jill, listen.

814
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 6: Here's the thing about versus. All right, here's the mentality

815
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:36,959
Speaker 6: of versus. And all right, yeah, here's here's our unsolicited corner,

816
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 6: your corner.

817
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 2: People. You need to come, so listen.

818
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 6: Here's the thing. The thing that makes versus work. Versus

819
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 6: is all about Yo. These rich niggas are stuck in

820
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 6: their crib looking at their phone, just like us.

821
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: That's what makes it work. Like that's the draw. The

822
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 2: draw is.

823
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 6: We're looking at celebrities and people who have done all

824
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 6: these great things. They're stuck inside their homes And this

825
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 6: is entertainment for us just as it is for them.

826
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 2: I'm not fucking famous. I'm just I'm regular.

827
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 6: But anyway, So so that's the thing, so hold on, well,

828
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 6: I certainly will. So the thing is you can take

829
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 6: it to your car, like you can play records in

830
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 6: your car if you want to. Anything that makes it

831
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 6: look more intimate and makes it feel more like the audience.

832
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, on the mountaintop, So do it in

833
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 2: your kitchen, and that ship.

834
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 6: Is gonna be like, Nigga, why are you in the

835
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 6: bubble on the mountaintop?

836
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: I have I have another thing to add to it.

837
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: Sensing you might need a quasi haymaker that isn't below

838
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: the belt, I would actually have.

839
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 2: This is bad. I say.

840
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: That when she hits you, I think when she hits you,

841
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: she has three haymakers. Tyrone's one of them. I feel

842
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: like on and one is one of them on the other

843
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: side of the game.

844
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 6: Now okay, I would say, I don't think the other side.

845
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 6: I think the other side is one. I would say

846
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 6: more so next lifetime, Like that's probably the closest.

847
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: So my thing is when she hits with Tyrone, whatever

848
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: you play next, I wish you had a TV track

849
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: version of it, and you say it live.

850
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 5: Here you go, it's too much, too much.

851
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 9: Technical elements, right, you're doing too much. Paper Bill said it,

852
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 9: Paper is do it.

853
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 6: You do it too much. People just want to see

854
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 6: you drop the jams. They want to see you drop

855
00:46:59,480 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 6: the jam.

856
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 5: Will say, if you pick up your judget teddy roddy guitar,

857
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 5: just start saying things with your voice outside of adding

858
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 5: technical thing, because but you will, Jill, that's a fucking haymaker.

859
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 4: Your voice is.

860
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying, but that's the thing live.

861
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: If she just whatever device, if there's Fender Road, if

862
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: there's a Fender off, Fender Road's version of He Loves Me,

863
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: and she does that ship live, you think I will

864
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: throw my phone.

865
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 6: No, because that's the thing because when I was doing

866
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 6: I've kind of been doing like cards for all these battles.

867
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 2: The thing with Erica, Okay, Erica.

868
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,959
Speaker 6: Has to survive Jill's first If she's survived Jill's first

869
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 6: album and Golden, she might have a chance.

870
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 2: The only problem is that Jill.

871
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 6: Your first album, and I said this on Twitter, your

872
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 6: first album is.

873
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 2: A fucking mind feeld. Anything you can drop, you can

874
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 2: drop something off that ship. She can drop the entire

875
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 2: album like real.

876
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 6: Strategically you can drop honey a lift and just be like,

Speaker 6: you know what I mean, like for real, for real,

878
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. So the thing is like

879
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,439
Speaker 6: the big ones, you have to worry about Erica. Yeah,

880
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 6: mirrors right, Tyrone is her haymaker, h Tyro. I think

Speaker 6: Tyrone will be that on and on next slight Time

882
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,400

899
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 6: one that wasn't like me, It wasn't a big record, like,

900
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 6: so it's like this and then you got jams.

901
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 3: I'm listening the work best to stay out of all

902
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:16,160

Speaker 2: be a haymaker for you.

908
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 6: Like I think if we're talking haymakers like Golden, I

909
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,439
Speaker 6: think it's probably like the haymaker, like you ain't getting

910
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 6: up from that whenever you drop that, because that's just

911
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 6: that was a monster record. Don't waste Golden, don't know,

912
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 6: don't waste it. No, no, no, So you gotta go

Speaker 4: You okay?

926
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 2: Oh God really, so that.

927
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 6: Here's the thing, here's the breakdown, and you can just

928
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 6: use this information I have you. This is the thing

929
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 6: with between like with Erica and Jail Battle. So like

930
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 6: Erica is more so like your your career, Jill, you've

931
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 6: kind of leaned more into like the adult like contemporary

932
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 6: what would be like urban ac kind of lane Erica's

933
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 6: records over the last couple of years, her last few records,

934
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 6: she's kind of going deeper more just in the hip

935
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 6: hop and kind of being I think a little more experimental.

936
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 6: But the thing with that is it just kind of

937
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 6: depends on demographics. So to the contingent of people that

938
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 6: I refer to as the Ascot battalions. The last two albums, yeah,

939
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 6: the rolland Mard like them, the Boulet Niggas. Erica's last

940
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 6: two records didn't really connect with them. They don't know

941
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 6: like New America them niggas lost from the video. They

942
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 6: know just but that's it. But that's it.

943
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,439
Speaker 3: There were a lot of people in the world. There's

944
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 3: a lot of people listening period. You don't know who's what.

945
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 6: Vers but for versus that's the thing, right, it's the

946
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 6: It's one thing if we're fighting.

947
00:51:55,320 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, jail niggas. I'm sorry, Bill. Even Steve doesn't make

948
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 4: an attempt.

949
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's our unsolicited advice. Yeah, we will give

950
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 2: it Erica the same advice, just to be equal.

951
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you like your catalog you got. I think

952
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 6: you have more in the tank than she is. And

953
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 6: if you can get her to play her big cards early,

954
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 6: I think you're just gonna win just off being able

955
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 6: to go the distance alone.

956
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: I think Erica would actually try to play her eccentric cards.

957
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,439
Speaker 1: I don't think she'll play the obvious cards. I bet

958
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: you on and On won't even come until.

959
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 2: Like Light and Layton. Yeah, that would be smart. I mean,

960
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 2: you know, but but then, but what she gonna play

961
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 2: before that?

Speaker 4: Is that what she did?

1095
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? Damn I went with I went with what was

1096
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 3: written and instead I should have I should have fought him,

1097
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 3: And I'm disappointed, Like, I really wish I could go

1098
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 3: back to do that over. So I learned again about

1099
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 3: homework and how important it is to to do the

1100
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 3: home work. You know, so even if nobody else understands it, well,

1101
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 3: you want everybody to understand it, but you have to

1102
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 3: be be that guy. If that's the generals, be that guy.

1103
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 3: I don't think I was that guy as much as

1104
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 3: I would want to be. So that's the only role

1105
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 3: I've had started like disappoints me.

1106
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 6: Did you think that not hitting him, do you think

1107
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 6: that made the character look weaker or like?

1108
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 2: What was your what was your reasoning behind it?

1109
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,439
Speaker 3: I thought that she was so in love with him.

1110
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 3: In fact, Dedie Brown is still in love with James

1111
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 3: Brown today. She was so overwhelmingly in love with him that,

1112
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 3: you know, that's the part that I highlighted. She was

1113
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 3: just almost obsessed with him. But she did have some

1114
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 3: spunk and some fighting her And I wish he had

1115
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 3: punched him in the mouth. I wish I had allowed her,

1116
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 3: you know, in the film to punich him in the mouth.

1117
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 3: He deserved it, yeah, and it would have represented her

1118
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 3: a little better than what I did.

1119
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 2: So so you talked an you went there and got

1120
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 2: to know her as to develop.

1121
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, beforehand and.

1122
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 2: Encouragement of the director and.

1123
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 3: The production that was that was on my own. I

1124
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 3: there was a young man working on set. I can't

1125
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 3: remember what he did, but he told me that that

1126
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 3: was his grandmother, and I was like, you gotta, you

1127
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 3: gotta get me in touch with your grandma, you know,

1128
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 3: because they were on the NEWLYWT game together. So I

1129
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 3: got a chance to see her ways, but I didn't

1130
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 3: get a chance to It's on it's online, it's on YouTube.

1131
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, they.

1132
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 2: Want they used to the seventies.

1133
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 3: They were real cute, They're real cute. They absolutely enjoyed

1134
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 3: each other. But they thought. They definitely thought, and he

1135
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 3: was whooping ass and I get I got it, like

1136
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 3: I got it. You could. I could see how someone

1137
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 3: could totally totally be like in love with this guy

1138
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 3: and enjoyably suppressed. He's powerful. He's a powerful man. That

1139
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 3: ain't for me to dam bushing your sleep.

1140
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 2: Any for you any thoughts of writing your memoir?

1141
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 3: I think about it often. I think people would be

1142
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 3: completely surprised of how I got here and how I

1143
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 3: am able to stay here. Yeah, I think about it often.

1144
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:38,919
Speaker 3: There's a lot good.

1145
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the journey is still happening for

1146
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: you to even start writing your memoir?

1147
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 3: If I just wrote the first fifteen years, if I

1148
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 3: just I remember being in the womb, If I could

1149
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 3: write I remember being in the womb, If I wrote

1150
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 3: the first fifteen years of this existence, it would be crazy.

1151
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 3: People would not leave any of it. It's half mythology

1152
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 3: and folkalore with these brilliant sprinkles of simple is crazy.

1153
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 3: My existence has been you gotta do.

1154
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 2: You have to do it like James Taylor. James Taylor

1155
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 2: worked backwards. So he just released his life between.

1156
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Birth and twenty one, like maybe two months ago, but

1157
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, started with the end of his life. Once

1158
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: he like rehabbed himself and got his life together. Then

1159
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,439
Speaker 1: the project before is like the hell he went through

1160
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: as James Taylor, and then the real hell he went

1161
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: through from childhood to twenty one that got him to

1162
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,439
Speaker 1: be a heroin Addict and all that stuff. Like him

1163
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 1: telling the story backwards almost is cinematically maybe telling your

1164
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: story backwards in that way from.

1165
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 3: Zero to twenty one or I.

1166
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Mean, I am because I think people feel like the

1167
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: need to release their entire life story in one.

1168
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 3: I could do it. I could do it like my

1169
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 3: own jelo okay pieces pieces at the time.

1170

1208
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 3: was infronting, but changes lives. That's because that's what the

1209

Speaker 3: roots do. I mean, without your guidance, I mean.

01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 3: many artists wouldn't have a career right now, and you

1213
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 3: picked artists that all have longevity. And for Josh, including yourself. Well,
