He ran 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.399 away from home and drove the Paisley Park snap on 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.280 the porch, didn't. Yeah, well, they let him in the 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.720 lobby and he stayed there. You know, he met some 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.680 of the bad meals from the revolution and he just 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.120 couldn't know he didn't get the chance to meet Prince 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.720 at the time. So they turned them down, Turn them down. 0:01:55.840 --> 0:02:01.120 Where is Davante? La heu? You know the everything just 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.560 want crazy, just get developed as high anxiety from like 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.440 just flying. So we went to ask me he had 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:06.520 to take a two of us all the way to 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.200 ask me. He just doesn't. He doesn't fly. You know, 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.120 he wanted to, you know, be down, but he couldn't 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:12.880 ride him and you know the bust of So how 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.320 do y'all get him around when you're touring? He just 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:22.679 gotta be bus what I mean, Prince my career, we 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.359 used to fly like twice three times a week. Well, 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.600 Jo Jody, see, you guys have always been known as 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.320 the bad boys of R and B. Now I understood that, 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.959 he said, You never understood that. Really, I think that 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.680 that came because, you know, we just went against the 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.640 grain of what R and B music was looked at 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.239 and hurt how I was hurt. We had the Scullies 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.640 on and you know, the black bulls and the Gene 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.120 Secondeam so I think that's well, they just not the 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:48.679 typical R and B. So they gotta be, you know, 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.240 bad boys. And then you guys had like a death 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.720 Row affiliation and all that we're gonna get to. But 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.359 with with the with the scullies and the tims and stuff. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.880 Was that really all because everybody was saying that I 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.240 was an image that Uptown creating, it really wasn't. It 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.360 was just that, um, you know, they came to idea 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.239 we didn't want to wear like the sequence suits and everything. 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:07.760 We're like, well, that's not really us, and yeah, we 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.000 just want to be like just some that on the 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.200 street could just relate to, you know, not all shine 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.160 and gus. We didn't have a big budget, you know 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.760 where they care to go. We have, but but it 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.400 was just like a thing that we you know, when 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.760 Puff camera, it was like, we just want to be 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.560 like just like four regular like four regular dudes on 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.640 the speak corner singing to his homeboys, singing that the homeboys, 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.800 you know, not the suit thing. And and then boys 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.880 members coming out that time, and um that Puff did say. 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.560 Puff did say that he told Dread looked dra it's 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.400 a new group coming out to at the same time, 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.840 called boys to men and they were in soups. That's 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.960 what I'm putting. That's them, that new West suits, that's 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.360 that new body then man, Yeah, Puff was like that 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.000 from hard because you can see what you you could 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.440 also see with Mary he put the locks and shiny shoots. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:04:03.160 Then that was later how much a relationship with Puff, 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:05.640 It was good. It was always good. You guys are 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.560 kind of the reason he got his whole label situation, right, Yeah, 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.160 you know, Puff the good thing about him he always 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.080 saw the vision that we had and it was it 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.760 was easy for him to go to undid like man no, 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.760 and he fought for us all the time, like I'm 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.840 telling you, if this don't work, you're getting fired. And 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.120 Puff believe. He believed everything we try to do. And 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.320 he just you know, yeah, he related to Andre and 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.920 Uptown and he stuck with it. When y'all first got 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:27.520 with Puffy, he was an intern. Did you ever think 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.560 Uptown wasn't taking your serious because they put you with 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.880 an intern at first? Well, I mean it wasn't that. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.880 He was just like we was from the South and 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.760 they looked as being like four country boys.

Wasn't your music very secular to 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.640 come from the church, because the church is singing about 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.800 God is gospel.

See, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.200 like what we're supposed to get from. What about the 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:44.960 other male R and B groups at the time, because 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.240 you guys kind of set the trends for a lot 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.240 of people. Did they like y'all? Did they embrace you guys? 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.400 Did y'all get along or was it like any type 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:59.920 of Now we had no problems to the day, Joe 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.760 ain't wrung so pretty much like to ourselves, we in 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.760 our own world. We could be sitting here, we we 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.680 could say something. I could be talking about one of 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.440 you guys. They wouldn't know, but y'all wouldn't And y'all 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.800 be laughing at us, But we're really talking about y'all. 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:20.200 Really say it over there, man, like whatable boys? The 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:26.720 man you shot at the time. Yeah, yeah, all these groups, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.720 I mean they kind of fashioned after it. Yeah, I 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.880 remember seeing Jojo Jojo was on a video. He was 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.400 cursing out somebody cursing out some R and B group. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.080 What it was. I forgot what group it was though. 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.080 Now the uptime treat your family money wise, because I 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.720 never heard y'all complaining about, you know, like how TLC 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.880 went through it with the label hustle man. I think 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.120 like when we came, it was more like we looked 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:56.880 at it like family. So it wasn't really because we 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.480 didn't get it for the money. We just thought. We 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.640 didn't know about the mindtil like, and when we wasn't 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.960 driving fancy cars and everybody was driving business and were 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.840 still catching the training, they don't look right, you know. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:07.880 Then the questions started coming up. What was young? I 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.240 was sixteen, jose came out, you know, so it was 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.800 all kids, We're having fun. You know. It's like you know, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.120 at the time, whatever you want, you know, we all roll, 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.200 We all start you know, teaming up in rooms while 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.680 we sharing rooms, you know. But then the questions started 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.120 rising when people start playing the season your head didn't 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.320 I tell you what we had the life though, but 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:29.280 can't you imagine before the age of twenty one, any 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.720 girl you want, and your car you can drive. You 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.400 can get any home you want to live in. Be 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.640 four twenty one and no kids, and man, we live 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:43.200 in the college life. They say that that alcohol played 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:44.960 a big part because like you said, you were under 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:50.960 twenty one. Yea party said party, party, party, alcohol, drugs 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.320 every now not no drugs. I mean we yeah, you 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.440 know I but not no hardcore. You know, like I said, 0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:59.640 before the age twenty one, you got all that in 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:04.160 your you know what I'm saying, before you twenty one, Man, 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.640 you gotta something gotta tempt you. You know what I'm saying. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:11.400 Females alcohol, We we didn't know we did that, but 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.360 it was hard trying to be in a relationship knowing 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.520 that you had so many women coming at you all 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:21.480 the time. Down was knocking you was knocking down. Madonna 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.600 at one point in a relationship Door well, I was 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.800 signed to his artist. But I mean before that, you know, 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.000 she went out, my brother hung out with him. Whatever 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.920 they had was going on, that was them, that was me. 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.840 And I ain't saying I wasn't mind, But Casey attempted 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.960 to be in a relationship. But I guess that wasn't 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:46.040 gonna happen for you that that was the first celebrity couple. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:53.920 I can't remember that that wasn't attempting. Man was ten 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.120 twelve years relationship? Was that relationship because you guys were 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.000 we had fun. We had fun. But um, it got 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.720 to the point that at that time, back then, you know, 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.199 like I said, it was young and I could careers 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.840 are going like this, and then it just exploded and um, 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.879 and I'm not gonna lie.
