113
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,679

114
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: We lived in the project and all the success they

115
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,719

117
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,680

00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: We gotta fight this person, fight that person, go through.

119
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 4: All these things because we ain't got nothing but songs

120
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: on the radio.

121
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: So you haven't done any shows yet either. No.

Speaker 2: Yeah, go look, if you go, I'm definitely gonna go

126
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:42,960

127
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: I had I had a red I had these blonde braids.

128
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 5: It was all twisted up and stuff.

129
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: And he went right back to the projects and went

130
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: right back home. It was crazy. Do you remember what

131
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: your advance was?

132
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 5: Yes, how don't even want to say what it was.

133
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: Oh, it was that bad.

134
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna just say this.

135
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 4: When I started getting money, I started getting like five

136
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 4: hundred dollars a week, so I was if you look

137
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 4: back at it, I was being robbed. I mean that

138
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 4: was the name of the game back then. Everybody was robbing.

139
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: If you didn't have any education, you was getting robbed. Yeah,

140
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: And I had no education on how you know how

141
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 4: to read a contract, you know. I just didn't know

142
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 4: anything about the music business. I didn't know how it worked.

143
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: My mom didn't know. None of us knew how that

144
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: shit were getting the opportunity. We was given an opportunity.

145
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 4: We signed, we signed a contract. We thought that was

146
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: gonna be it. We thought we was getting out immediately.

147
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: It didn't happen like that. And the money didn't come

148
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 4: immediately either. But when it came started coming in like peace,

149
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 4: It's like five hundred dollars a week and for a

150
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 4: little while and then nothing, and then the big advance

151
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: was probably about five hundred thousand dollars when I finally got.

152
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: In getting fire a week to five hundred.

153
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 4: When I finally got in, when I finally got in, well,

154
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: it felt like one hundred thousand probably was.

155
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: One hundred thousand house and you had a smash to

156
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: smash hit records by this time.

157
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 4: Yes, And the thing is I didn't know anything. I

158
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: didn't know nothing about the music business. And I would

159
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: say that to everybody out there trying to learn so

160
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: that you can't get robbed and you'll have something, you'll

161
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 4: have more like you know, by the grace of God,

162
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: I'm still here, still working, still doing what I'm doing.

163
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: But if I didn't, if I knew then what I

164
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: know now, probably be retired by now as a trillionnaire.

165
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: You know what. You know what I'm saying.

166
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: If I had to information, sure, the.

167
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: Grind could have been different too.

168
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: Right. If let's just say young Girl and Yonkers in

169
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 3: the projects, they give you a hundred k to sign,

170
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: you might have lost your mind with that.

171
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: True, But we needed to get out of that environment,

172
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: right right, You see what I'm saying. And I did

173
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: lose my mind when I got the advanced events. I

174
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: went crazy.

175
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: I went, you remember anything that you shitting' a bought?

176
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna tell you two things I did. It

177
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 5: was so stupid.

178
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 4: The first thing I did was bought. I bought me

179
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 4: a car. I brought up a green Cherokee.

180
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: Okay, because they got to see you win a green. See,

181
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: it was about the stunt you gotta up.

182
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: I got my mother house and I bought myself like

183
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: a little you know, townhouse. And the next dumbest thing

184
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: I did, I got a credit card and I went

185
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 4: to Japan.

186
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: Am credit card. I gold you went to Japan owned

187
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 3: the credit card. No, when I went, I'm like, you

188
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: got a credit card, went to Japan. Nah.

189
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 4: When I went to Japan for the first time, I

190
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 4: went crazy. It was so much stuff, so much like

191
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 4: things that I've always dreamed. I had thirty thousand pairs

192
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: of shoes. I just I'm a shoe person and a

193
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 4: bag person. So I came home with so many shoes

194
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: and so many bags. I don't even know if the

195
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: bags was real Chanel bags or whatever.

196
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: I don't know what.

197
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: It's like. I needed that I need.

198
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 3: I need it because See here's the other part that

199
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: people don't realize. When you're traveling like that, you also

200
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: got to pay to get it back. Yes, not only

201
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: do you gotta when you buy it, but now you

202
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 3: gotta pay to get it back. You don bought more

203
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: bags to put the other bags in to get back

204
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: to America.

205
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 4: You gotta recoup all that stuff and never never recoup ever.

206
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: Never that is they gonna they gonna keep you. They

207
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: gonna keep you in some kind of shackles. Yeah, as

208
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: long as they can. But if you've had the success

209
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: you've had, you're able to renegotiate.

210
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: And it starts to do this.

211
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, you start to get with people that really

212
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: have your best interests at heart. Because now you have

213
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: your best interest at heart. Now you want to learn.

214
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: You don't want to be robbed no more. I don't

215
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: want to be robbed. No I need I need money.

216
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 4: So how do I do this? So people start teaching

217
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 4: you how to do it, and they start, you know,

218
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 4: being honest with you about everything that's going on, and

219
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 4: you learn.

220
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: As you go. But it's still so much that you

221
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: have to hire the right lawyer, right lawyer, right business manager.

222
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, because we're not reading you know how

223
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 4: big those contracts are.

224
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: I know we're not doing that. We talk about it

225
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: all the time.

226
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: I say, you know, the one thing I try to

227
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: tell people is don't just go to the page that

228
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: says your advance.

229
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, try to read it. Go, go, get you a dictionary.

230
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: Just you should read it for yourself to and then

231
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: have someone else break it down to you on lanman terms.

232
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 3: But just learning certain things, like you know, I always

233
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: tell people the first thing is learn what imperpetuity means,

234
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: because that shit means forever.

235
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: Ever.

236
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: Yes, it means forever.

237
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the average person doesn't know that because they

238
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: haven't been in this type of business.

239
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: Where our music will last forever.

240
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: Yes.

241
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

242
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: So the people that are trying to, you know, exploit it,

243
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: they want to be able to exploit it forever.

244
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

245
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

246
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: So it's just certain terms and certain things that I

247
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: always always preach, like just learn learn it for sure,

248
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: learn the basics and then ask as many questions as possible.

249
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Like I'm not embarrassed anymore. Like I used to

250
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 4: be embarrassed, you know, because I didn't finish high school,

251
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: and I was embarrassed, you know, I didn't go to

252
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 4: college a need that, you know, and.

253
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 5: That was it was embarrassing.

254
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 4: But now I don't care about it could be the

255
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: smallest word. I really repeat that, what does that mean?

256
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 4: Because I need to know what I'm speaking about when

257
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 4: I'm speaking yes, period. So a good lawyer explained it

258
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 4: to me. Whatever it is the smallest thing, the biggest thing.

259
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 4: I'm asking questions because I really need, I really want

260
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 4: to know. It's not about acting like you know, because

261
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 4: then you lose everything.

262
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, so many of us have.

263
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: So many of us have.

264
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: So when when you drop what's the four to one one,

265
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: what's the vibe in the streets?

266
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 5: The vibe in the streets is what I told you

267
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 5: I'm talking about.

268
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 2: As far as like that.

269
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 4: People were, people were losing them first of all, people

270
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: was losing their mind as well. For you remind me,

271
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: that was the first single really to come off with yeah,

272
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: the on one album.

273
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 5: But then we released the album.

274
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: I mean it was like overnight success, but not because

275
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: we didn't have the money and everything to match it.

276
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 5: But it was a bit it was a big deal.

277
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 4: Like it was a big deal because there was nothing

278
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 4: on the streets like it at all at all. You know,

279
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 4: no female had an album like that. Nobody even knew

280
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: what hip hop was the way I know what hip

281
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 4: hop is, and.

282
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: I mean just just the vibe that that we had

283
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 3: and I'm from California, right, I'm from San Francisco. So

284
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: just what it did to my neighborhood, what it did

285
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: to my city and to my sisters and my cousins

286
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: and my mom and my aunts and every.

287
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: Girl I knew. Yeah, they were like, oh, this is it.

288
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,119
Speaker 2: She's us. Yeah, she's absolutely.

289
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: I mean you would cause you know, you get up

290
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 3: as you you young, and your sister got the music

291
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 3: blast and she getting ready.

292
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: All I heard was Mary J.

293
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: Blige, Well, God bless your sister's sisters. Thank y'all so much.

Speaker 4: me and my music because y'all helped me. Y'all helped

296
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: get me to where I'm going and even mentally. And

297
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: you know, people, when I put that in My Life,

298
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: what's the form of one album?

299
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 5: Was one thing.

300
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: But when I put that My Life album out, I

301
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: was like in a very dark place press and I

302
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 4: was letting people know this is who I truly, really,

303
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 4: really am. And four million people bought that album. Wow,

304
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: four million people. Was like, Mary, we're going through it too.

305
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 4: And I'm sure your sisters was probably you know, going

306
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: through it with me. And that made me feel not alone,

307
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 4: and a lot of people felt not alone, and they

308
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 4: felt like whatever their shame was, Mary has the same shame.

309
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: They felt like whatever their guilt was, Mary had the

310
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 4: same guilt. So I was so relative to so many

311
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 4: women and men too, And now I have a whole movement. Absolutely,

312
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: the movement is speak your truth.

313
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: Nobody, get it out. People don't play about Mary J Blige.

314
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: People do not play about you. And I'm sure you

315
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: know that I do.

316
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 4: And I'm so grateful, Like I said, thank you to

317
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: your sister, thank you to everybody, because this didn't have

318
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 4: to be like this. I needed you know, I needed them,

319
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 4: you know, I need my fans because I was getting

320
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: ready check out.

321
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 5: But those four million people was like, nah, we just

322
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 5: went through it too. We love you, we got you.

323
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: You know.

324
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: That's just it's amazing to hear it from your side,

325
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: right because everybody hears it through the music, but to

326
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: hear you personally speak it, it's just a different thing.

327
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: And understanding that you had intention.

328
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: Your intentions were to give your life and to let

329
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: people know what was going on with you. And I

330
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: think that's at times that's tough with certain artists because

331
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: you know, if it's a label executive or a producer

332
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: or even other artists when they have advice for you,

333
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: oh you should do this, and we but you were

334
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: so different from any other artists.

335
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think what made me stand out is everybody

336
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 4: was so polished in the eighties and the nineties. Every

337
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 4: female was polished, eating and down.

338
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 5: You know, they had to be. I wasn't perfect.

339
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: I was a whole thug like it was you know,

340
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: it was tom Boy whatever, you know, all of that,

341
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: and but I but I was a girl that was

342
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: going through things with guys, you know, and I've been

343
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: through so much that there was no I said, you know,

344
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: why am I going through all this stuff? And what

345
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: dawned on me is, well, you're going through it to

346
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: get somebody else through it, because you're you're in the spotlight.

347
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: You've gone through everything, you've gone through, so some little

348
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: some girls just like you can know that that's not

349
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 4: therefore either that they're gonna be okay too, that you know,

350
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: you're you're just like them, you know. So I was

351
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: just going through it to be an inspiration for so

352
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 4: many people.

353
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 5: You understand what I'm saying.

354
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: That's absolutely so.

355
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 5: When we go through things.

356
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: It's never for us really, it's it's it's so that

357
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: people can see how you come out on the other side.

358
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: And when you come out you're a hero.

359
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: That's hero. Yeah, because it's.

360
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 4: Hard in the middle. When you're going through in the

361
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 4: middle is fucking hard. It's all kind of shit going

362
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 4: on that you gotta press through and mentally get through

363
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: and pray and have faith and think different and really

364
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 4: do the work. The work is moving past this old

365
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 4: stuff that's like so familiar. It's like, oh, I know

366
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 4: what that is. Everything is suspicion and all this stuff.

367
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 4: Moving past that so you can have some true happiness.

368
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 6: But it's a step by step by step by step,

369
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 6: and it's small steps, and the more steps you take,

370
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 6: the more freedom you have in your mind, where you

371
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 6: just like, I'm pursuing peace, I'm pursuing peace of mind.

372
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 3: So you never even had the thoughts of, you know,

373

00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: about to just tell my story.

382
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: I didn't have those words, not into my mind, but

383
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 4: you know, the people around me were saying it, can

Speaker 5: Can I do it again? I'm doing it.

387
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 4: I'm doing it because I have to get this out.

388
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 4: This is therapy for me. When I said I want

389
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 4: to be happy, I really wanted to be happy. When

390
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 4: I say, if you look in my life and see

391
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 4: what I see, I really wish people could see what

392
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 4: I was going through. Like I really wanted people to

393
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 4: look at me, and I said, I'm the only woman

394
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 4: I wanted to be right, you know, begging and crying

395
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 4: on that album for somebody to love me the way

396
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 4: I should have loved myself. That's itIt of love came,

397
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 4: you know, searching for real love all my life, and

398
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: the real love was me, you know, so I didn't

399
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 4: care on No Sophomore jinks like I know puff at

400
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 4: the end of the At the beginning of the album,

401
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 4: he says, you already said you can't do with a

402
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 4: gang Kid and all that, and that's puff being puffed.

403
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 4: But I didn't care about any of that because if

404
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 4: if it was a flop or if it was successful,

405
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 4: I got what I needed off my chest because that

406
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: was my therapy.

407
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 3: Is that how you feel like you've always made your

408
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: albums just up even to this day, yep, whereas just

409
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: this is your therapy. People are getting what you want

410
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: to give them of you instead of you chasing records

411
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 3: or chasing some hit even though you've had.

412
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: They don't, yeah, talking about you, but you know when

413
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 4: you chase, when you chase, you fail because you're not

414
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 4: telling you. For me anyway, I don't know who else that,

415
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: but for me, when I chase something that's everybody else

416
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: is doing or try something that, it does not never

417
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 4: work for me, you know, So I don't do that.

418
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 5: I just say what I need to say. The breakthrough album.

419
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 4: So I started like titling my albums like a year

420
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 4: before I put them out, So share my World. I

421
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 4: told that before I put it out, because that was

422
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 4: me coming off of my life album. And at that point,

423
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 4: you know, me and Puffet separated, you know, and it

424
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 4: was like everybody was like, oh, Mary can't do it

425
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 4: without puff, and.

426
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 5: I was like, shit, you know, this is what I do.

427
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 4: And I'm not even cocky, you know, I just I know,

428
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 4: I know what I do, and I know what my

429
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 4: fans love.

430
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 5: And so Share my World Huge did what it did.

431
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: The Marry album did what it did because I was

432
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 4: speaking from where I was living.

433
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: Share my World.

434
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: I wanted people to come into my world. This is

435
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 4: my world, this is what I'm doing. Whether it's good, bad,

437
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 4: still going through it, but I'm trying to be an artist.

438
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: I want people to recognize me as somebody that it's

439
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 4: just you know, this train wreck, you know, but I

440
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 4: was a train wreck period. To go through it, yes,

441
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 4: and go through I invited some people and invited Elton

442
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 4: John to that.

443
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 7: You know.

444
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 4: I wanted people to see me in a wider John,

445
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 4: you know, a wider what's the word I'm looking for?

446
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,280

447
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 4: more than just.

448
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 5: The queen of hip hop soul.

449
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, you know so I started, you know, I started,

450
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: I started just thinking like that on my own.

451
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: Were you ever thinking I want to be a pop artist?

452
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 4: I don't think I was wanting to be a pop artist.

453
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 4: I just wanted people to see me as more than

454
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 4: just the queen of hip hop soul, you know, although

455
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 4: that was that's my title, that's who I am. But

456
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 4: I know the queen of hip hop soul knows more

457
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 4: than just hip hop soul.

458
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: I know.

459
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 5: I grew up on soft rock.

460
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: You know.

461
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 4: I grew up on Elton John's Benny and just what

462
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 4: I did deep inside too. I grew up, you know,

463
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 4: on the Eagles. I grew up on Gladys Knight, you know.

464
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 4: So I grew up There's a whole lot of music

465
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 4: playing in my house. And when I was little, there

466
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: was this radio station.

467
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: We didn't have w B, we didn't have FM radio.

468
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: When I was five years old. All we had was

469
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 4: the albums that came through the house. The Cardwah soundtrack

470
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 4: came through the house. That was where I got going

471
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 4: down from. But on the radio we had Ambrosia.

472
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: So you're hearing saying.

473
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 4: I didn't pigeonhole myself to just R and B when

474
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 4: I got in the industry because I knew more than

475
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: just that, you know.

476
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 5: And when I discovered hip hop.

477
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this is easy this is what

478
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,080

486
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,760

Speaker 4: When you singing a song I was your love and

497
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:41,680

499
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,480

500
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: Face when I first moved to LA he was one

501
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 3: of the first people that I've ever wrote records with

502
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 3: and I got to see him write a record and

503
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: he gave me a bit of information really early. He

504
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: was like, if you're going right here records, make sure

505
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: there's something in there that's memorable.

506
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.

507
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: Something has to be memorable about the record.

508
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 3: Yes, the melody or the hook it, but sometimes it's

509
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 3: a word and it's and it was so crazy.

510
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,600

1063
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 3: I tried with the artists, I see.

1064
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 2: I tried very hard. This is not it, you know.

1065
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: And that's why I wanted to ask you that, right,

1066
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 3: because that is something that gets brought up a lot

1067
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 3: with artists, very successful artists like yourself.

1068
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 2: But they're just like, well, they should put on and

1069
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 2: they should And I don't always agree with that.

1070
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 5: What do you mean put on?

1071
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 3: Meaning like you know, as far as yes should artists

1072
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 3: make the attempt to help. But I think it's a

1073
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 3: thing where people feel like, since she's married J Blige,

1074
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 3: she can make me marry J Blige without me doing

1075
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 3: all the things that I need to do to become

1076
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 3: that level. I think a lot of people get spoiled.

1077
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 3: I've seen it up close. A lot of artists get spoiled.

1078
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying this happen with the artists that

1079
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 3: you had, but I see a lot of artists get

1080
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 3: spoiled or come in it with a spoiled mindset when

1081
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 3: they're dealing with a superstar.

1082
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 5: Honestly, in my these artists weren't spoiled.

1083
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 2: They just was.

1084
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 5: It was there was just it was a bunch of bulls.

1085
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 4: It was a bunch of shit going on that I

1086
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 4: don't even want to get into.

1087
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 5: Okay, Sometimes.

1088
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 4: You know, as an artist, I've reached I've tried to

1089
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 4: help a lot of people. I did, but people get

1090
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 4: in their own way and I'm gonna leave it just

1091
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 4: like that.

1092
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 2: Right, You gotta know how to get out of your

1093
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 2: own way.

1094
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 4: And that was the advice Shaka Khane me when I

1095
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 4: first met her.

1096
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 5: She said, you need to get out of your own way.

1097
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 2: How did you receive it in the beginning.

1098
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 4: In the beginning, I took it just like how I

1099
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 4: needed it, because that's exactly what I needed to do.

1100
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 4: I was like, wow, Okay, let me go in process this.

1101
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 4: What does that mean? It means get out of your

1102
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 4: own way, stop being your own worst enemy. Right, I

1103
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 4: figured it out.

1104
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 2: I figured it out. Yeah, I mean I pray that

1105
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 2: I pray that we all do. Yes, all artists don't.

1106
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 3: And people are just like, oh, this artist is so

1107
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 3: so talented and this, and it's like like you said,

1108
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:07,439
Speaker 3: sometimes they're in their own way.

1109
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 4: Talent is not the thing that's going to sustain you.

1110
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 4: Your personality, who you are, how you treat people, how

1111
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 4: you treat yourself, how people see you, treat yourself, and

1112
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 4: how people see you treat how people see you. I

1113
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 4: was thinking about this this morning. It's when you are

1114
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 4: at your hottest that you should be at your humblest Yeah,

1115
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 4: because as high as you go, that's that's how steep

1116
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 4: that that peak is.

1117
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 5: Going to be.

1118
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 4: And then that peak is what we need everybody. So

1119
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 4: remember how you treat those people up there, right? No, please, no,

1120
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 4: thank you, no excuse me. Those things go a long way.

1121
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 4: Don't think people are not listening. Don't think people don't.

1122
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 4: Weren't brought up like that. Damn you couldn't say thank you?

1123
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 2: Can you know?

00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:51,320

Speaker 2: Right?

00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: Right?

1127
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:52,919
Speaker 2: Yeah?

01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 4: people didn't know what it was, but we knew what

1410
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,440

Speaker 4: your hair, your roots the same color as your hair,

1412
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:52,040
