Speaker 2: You say the word cheated, because guys, I will take

49
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: her on again anytime anywhere. Maybe we should do it

50
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: in Atlantic City, don't fail, we should do it in

51
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: Atlantic City. That would be great.

52
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: Shout out to Chef Simpson, who I did his cooking show,

53
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: and you know there is a Simpson restaurant in Atlantic City. Also, yeah,

54
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: inside of the hotel. It's literally like less than a

55
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: five minute walk to boardwalk call from the Simpson.

56
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: Oh perfect, So we should do it there. Okay, throw down, showdown.

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: Let me let Chef Simpson know what's going down so

58
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,080

Speaker 2: Oh, chef try to talk to me about my jerk checking.

60
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: I'm ready to take him on too.

61
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: But tell me how you ended up doing this moment,

62
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: because you know a lot of people know you from

63
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: managing artists. Of course I'm producing movies. Also, shout out

64
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: to you for that. That would keep amazing. We lost

65
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: holiday video now and then in addition to that also

66
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: obviously Violator management Love and Hip Hop producing other TV

67
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: shows as well, and so now these content I think

68
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: you did the SWEV.

69
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: Well, I did Miss Elliott Miss Elliott experience with Buster

70
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: and Sierra. Last summer we did that tour, and simultaneous

71
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: I had the Queens of R and B go out

72
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: and so, you know, but way before then, back in

73
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, when I first worked with Escape and brought

74
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: them back together, I did the Still Kicking It or

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: you know, the Great Escape tour that was tied to

76
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: the TV show that I did with them then, so

77
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: that was.

78
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: How did you bring them back together? What was that like?

79
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Behind this?

80
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: A whole lot of conversation, a whole lot of cajoling.

81
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it was the same thing that happened

82
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: when I brought them an SWV back together to do

83
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: you know the tour that we did after they did

84
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: the TV show. So yeah, No, I think it's just

85
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: all about figuring out ways to create a movie, a

86
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: story around the brand to help i've you know, ticket sales,

87
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: but also to create a great experience for the fans.

88
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: So I think both tours did that, the Great Escape

89
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: Tour and then fast forward when we did the Queens

90
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: of R and B.

91
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: I want to say, we do have to let people

92
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: know Mona, You've been in this business for how long now?

93
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: Oh geez, it's got to be all close to thirty years.

94
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: And so kudos to you because I can't even express

95
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: how even coming up like in for me being from

96
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: New York and starting off in the music business, Mona

97
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: Scott Young was that name, oh dying and today to

98
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: still have always evolved and grown your business from the

99
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: core of what it was, which is about artists, right,

100
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: because I always felt like you're a very artist first

101
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: type of person.

102
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

103
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: I saw a Buster Rhymes that was like your first

104
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: and I said.

105
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: And it still is right, Buster's doing incredibly well. Missy's

106
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: still with after twenty eight twenty nine years. But yeah,

107
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: you're right. Management is always at the court. I say

108
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: that all the time in my DNA. That's my I'm

109
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: Mary directive. See, talent must help bring it to fruition,

110
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: you know. So whether that was managing artists careers or

111
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: developing television ideas or film properties, it's always about kind

112
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: of having a vision for something and putting the pieces

113
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: together to see it all come together.

114
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: Now with Vibes Cartel, how did that come together for

115
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,680

00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: That was a big deal.

129
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: That was a very big deal, and it was coming

134
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: I am at heart a Jamaican. You know, I'm a

135
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: Jamaican Paitian because I have an affinity. I've been going

136
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: to Jamaica for years every you know, I used to

137
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: go like twice a year every year. My kids.

138
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Taste it a little more Trinidadian.

139
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 2: No, no, no, not the case. Okay, see how she

140
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 2: keeps coming from people, I'm gonna have to take her

141
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 2: out again. But no shout out to stay. She chung,

142
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: my very very dear family friend who's here with me today.

143
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: But we are you know, like my whole family. We

144
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: love Jamaica. We spend so much time there. So when

145
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 2: the and I love Dan Tall, I love reggae. When

146
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: the opportunity came about to you know, jump in and

147
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: help pull these shows together, I was like a man.

148
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: But it goes on behind the scenes. People who you know,

149
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: we've all attended shows, but very few people have done

150
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: things of this magnitude. What are some of the things

151
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: that's on the checklist of like I gotta do this,

152
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: We got to handle this. Just so people know, like

153
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: what do I need to do to successfully make this happen?

154
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: I mean, first and foremost, it's the marketing, right and

155
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: the promotions. We do the research, where does the audience live?

156
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: Where the right you know, where's the right venue to

157
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: do it in? Because that's a big part of it.

158
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: You put you know, the right artists in the wrong

159
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: stadium or the wrong arena, and you can't sell the

160
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: show out. So one, making sure that you know the artists,

161
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: the audience, having a strong marketing strategy around it. We've

162
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: got a great team. They're young, they know all this

163
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: social media stuff, so you know, aggressively going out there,

164
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: and then you know, making sure that the experience is

165
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: right for the artists. That's everything from fulfilling their writer

166
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: to helping them put together a dynamic show. You know,

167
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: Vibes is the kind of dynamic, incredible artists that he

168
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: could just stand on stage, yeah, and do nothing and

169
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: the entire crowd, you know, is the arena is singing,

170
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, all of his lyrics and stuff. But he

171
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: puts on a phenomenal show. And the good thing about

172
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: him is everyone is so supportive of wanting to see

173
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: you know, him out here doing his thing that you

174
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: never know who's gonna jump on stage.

175
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: And I think also with him, he's been doing like

176
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: a great press round himself definitely and having these like

177
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: really standout interviews everywhere he goes. I feel like I

178
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: feel like it's something different that he's.

179
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: One of those dynamic people. But as an artist electrifying

180
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: right where just like there's something magnetic. So you're right,

181
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: and he does a phenomenal job promoting, like he has

182
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: claimed every stage, every arena, every you know everything.

183
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: He's like, how do you deal with artists who aren't

184
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: willing to do those things? Because I do think it

185
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: is part of the job. It's not just saying tickets

186
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: are on sale foreign artist and post it. It's like,

187
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: we also need you to work it. There's more work

188
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: that comes behind with that.

189
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: How do I deal with them? Yeah, I don't. I mean, listen, no,

190
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: sirih it's just too much work that goes into it.

191
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: And you know, blessed at this stage in life to

192
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: be doing the things that I'm doing because I want

193
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: to do them and because I have a passion for them,

194
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: not because I have to. So I don't want to

195
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: get into anything that's going to be too much heavy lifting,

196
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: too stressful, too much work. Right, even with management, I

197
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: used to say that management is a thankless job and

198
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: you're pulling a lot of times these artists to their

199
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: own success, kicking and screaming every step of the way.

200
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: They don't want to get up in the morning, they

201
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: don't want to go fulfill the obligations. I'm like, wait

202
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: a minute, I can't want this more than you do.

203
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: I can't work harder for you than you're gonna work

204
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: for yourself. And it's the same thing. Like Vibe real

205
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: realizes that he's getting this opportunity, this second lease on life,

206
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: to do what he loves, to do, what he's passionate about,

207
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: and you can feel the gratitude, right you can feel

208
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: his passion for this. And so he's up, he's promoted,

209
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: he's doing whatever he has to do because he realizes

210
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: it's his life.

211
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: It feels like he loves it too, and it kind and.

212
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,239
Speaker 2: He's having a great time, and I think that's infectious

213
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 2: and it's engaging and people want to come out and

214
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: support him and see him.

215
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: If you think about how things were, say twenty years ago,

216
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: even when it came to developing artists managing artists, how

217
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: are things different now when you think of what you're

218
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: asking for for artists, and because there's so many different

219
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: ways I think for you know, people to monetize things.

220
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: And it's interesting because I think, you know, it's easier

221
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: I'll say that because the reach is so much easier.

222
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: Right before they used to hit the pavement. They used

223
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: to have to hit every radio station, go to record stores.

224
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: Remember record stores. Remember you know they used to be

225
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: out there shaking hands, kissing babies, really beating the pavement

226
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: right to promote themselves, promote their music, whatever it is

227
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: they were doing. Now they're getting up, they're not even

228
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: putting on pants, They're getting in front of the camera

229
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: and you know, putting it all out there on social media.

230
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: So every time I see an artist talking about, oh

231
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: I can't, I'm like, you're being lazy because everything is

232
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: that your fingertips right now in a way that artists

233
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 2: from back in the day did not have right the

234
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: work ethic that they had to put in to make

235
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: a dent in the marketplace, where now you have global

236
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: reach at your fingertips, right.

237
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: You know you're right now, Mona. We also know you

238
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: from reality TV.

239
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: I knew she was going to bring it around to

240
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 2: this too.

241
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: Of course, how could you not because we think modas

242
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: got young and that also goes I mean, Love and

243
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Hip Hop is one of the longest running reality shows.

244
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: Is there anything that excites you now that you're like,

245
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: this is a project I would like to get done.

246
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: When it comes to TV when it and like as

247
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: far as reality TV, you know what, you.

248
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: Know, we're doing a lot more in the format space, right,

249
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: I've got like cooking shows and game shows and crime shows,

250
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: a lot of that because I'm a big crime buff myself. Right,

251
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: I love procedurals on the scripted side, but I will

252
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: watch you know, every single mad at my man. Why

253
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: did he do it? For my man? You know?

254
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: I love crime, Why women killed?

255
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: Why women killed? But also like just seeing the way

256
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: cons and crimes are done. I feel like it makes

257
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: me sharper.

258
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: You know what. There's something to that because there was

259
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: a posted the other day about people who watch a

260
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: lot of crimes.

261
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and let's look at that because I think

262
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: I saw that. I think it means that I'm warped

263
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: or some crazy, especially makes people who do it before

264
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: they go to bed. I will go to sleep at

265
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: night watching this stuff. So what does it say? Because

266
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: I know it said something crazy. But yeah, so we're

267
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: doing crime shows of course. The movies, I'm excited about that.

268
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, the Lost Holidays a movie, you know,

269
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: a passion project, and it's up on Prime video. I've

270
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: got some other.

271
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: Products I watched that movie too early.

272
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: I did.

273
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: I thought it was a beautiful story. It's a beautiful story.

274
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: And what I love about it is it's called The

275
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: Lost Holiday with two l's. But it's not necessarily a

276
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: holiday movie, but it does hit all the holiday touch points.

277
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: Like for Mother's Day, it resonates. We did an amazing

278
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: event with Sabrina Fulton when she brought all of the

279
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 2: mothers who have lost sons together because the movie has

280
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: that theme. But it's also a Father's Day movie because

281
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: within the story there two dads, same sex, dads who

282
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: have adopted a child. It's a pride movie. Yeah, because

283
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: it's about it, you.

284
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: Know things people are under attack right now. I do

285
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: think telling these real, true stories about human beings and.

286
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: Human experiences and the full breadth and scope of it.

287
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: So that's what I love about this project. So many

288
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: people who went to see it walked away saying it

289
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: resonated for me. Oh, it made me remember, you know

290
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 2: my loved one that I need to make up with.

291
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: So it's not necessarily just about the story, it's about

292
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: the emotions that it's evoking. I highly recommend it, not

293
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: because I had anything to do with it. But because no,

294
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: I remember a time where you watched movies because it

295
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: left you with the feeling, it made you feel something right,

296
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 2: And so it does that, and it does that across

297
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: so many different themes and subjects and with so many

298
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: different people that that's a beautiful thing. That's what artists

299
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: supposed to do. Bring us together. Lord knows now we

300
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: need to be brought together now more than ever I do.

301
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: It says right here. Watching too much true crime TV

302
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: can be bad for your mental health. Some women who

303
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: consume hours of two crime shows and podcasts have reported

304
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: suffering from hypervigilance or reluctance to leave the house. We

305
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: were out the other night, and you can wait to

306
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: go home.

307
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: Well, I do like being home. But the hypervigilance, that

308
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: is definitely true, because maybe my head's stay on a swivel. Okay,

309
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: you know you can't get nothing over on me. I

310
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: watch too much crime.

311
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: That is true. I will say we were out and

312
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: you were like, I, they't know I'm staying here.

313
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: And absolutely absolutely.

314
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,479
Speaker 1: But maybe say I'm like, Mota, are people looking for you?

315
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: Well? You never know, but we do have to be

316
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: super vigil there's some crazy world we're living in right

317
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: right and right now, anything goes. There are no rules,

318
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: So I say this all the time. So my people like,

319
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: this is no time for us to be a sl

320
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: with the wheelright.

321
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: You know, do you think you're kind of over shows

322
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: like Love and Hip Hop for you personally to want

323
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: to produce more?

324
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: I mean not necessarily right, because Love and Hip Hop

325
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: at its core was about the stories of the lives

326
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: of this group of women and men who navigated this world.

327
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: So you know, that's what on Scripted is, and that's

328
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: what I'm always going to continue to do. Tell stories,

329
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: pull the curtain back on worlds that people are curious about,

330
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: don't necessarily know all the ins and outs of, And

331
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: if it's entertaining in the process, right, and if it

332
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: creates a platform and gives opportunities in the process, then definitely.

333
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: Because I feel like when things people don't like how

334
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: they portray, they blame you.

335
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: Of course, then I'm the go to blame forevery And

336
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: it's fine, And I've said it a million times because

337
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: the one thing I've always been consistent about is it

338
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: is not easy, right, right, I couldn't do it, Like

339
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: people get so mad and why don't you put your

340
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: life on team because I'm not built like that, right,

341
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: But no, it's not easy. See, they come on there,

342
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: they bear their souls and then everyone with a keyboard

343
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: has an opinion and it you know, has direct access

344
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: to them. So I always say I get it when

345
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: they melt down, I get it. I don't love it

346
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: right right, and I don't love it when people form

347
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: their own opinions and think they know me better than

348
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: I know myself. But you know, I'm grown. I can

349
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: I can handle it because.

350
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: There's people like I'm watching now and I have to say,

351
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, obviously.

352
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: Yandy if you are commenting right now, well no, I'm just.

353
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: Saying yeah kind of. But even seeing like Yandy's going

354
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: through it right now, I feel like on there, but

355
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: that's somebody that you're very close with, and she started

356
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: off on there with you. Do you guys still keep

357
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: in contact about like what's going on?

358
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: Of course? Yes? Absolutely.

359
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: How does a person navigate through because people will say

360
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: it destroys people's relationships and marriages and and I don't

361
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: think that that's always the case.

362
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: I think that that's if they allow it to right,

363
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: and listen, I'm speaking as someone who has been married

364
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: for many years and has weathered ups and down.

365
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: Don't forget the young, most get the young.

366
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: Your foundation is everything right, and you should never put yourself,

367
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: your relationship, your family in a position that you do

368
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: not think your foundation can withstand. Right. So when people

369
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: come on the show and they expose things, half the time,

370
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: I'm going like, knowing that this was in your background,

371
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: knowing that these skeletons were in your closet, why you

372
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. But they might have their reasons,

373
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: and a lot of times it's therapeutic. I've had people

374
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: say to me, I would have never been dishonest, I

375
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 2: would have never come clean about this thing. I actually

376
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: feel relieved that this is now in the open, and

377
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, you could have done that at home

378
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: in private, but okay, right, But you know, your relationship

379
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: is only as strong as it actually is, and nothing

380
00:17:54,680 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: should be able to come in. Ruin ruin in the

381
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: stry Oh there you go here trying to get in

382
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: the students.

383
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: Mana was on Loving Hip Hop Forever was Unloving Hip

384
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: Hop for He did a drive by how are you how.

385
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: I'm feeling great? Thank you Love. Mano was one of

386
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: those people that you know. No, I will say this

387
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: mayno Joe that you know, people have an impression of

388
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: you think you know what this person's about, but when

389
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: you talk to them and you get to know them, right,

390
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: there was a lot more to a lot more it was.

391
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: I think it was pretty accurate on Manada.

392
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: I was talking about you the other day.

393
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: Were you saying anything good always good? Right?

394
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 3: And it's probably coming left field because I didn't even

395
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: hear what you was talking about. But I always like

396
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 3: to tell a story about how because people kind of

397
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 3: don't know your your like your foundation and music like

398
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: you you you Chris Lighty violated, Like I tell that story.

399
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: Like yah, y'all know Mona from Loving hip Hop, but

400
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: Mona was this powerhouse manager for years.

401
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: They had everybody that was the place to be, that

402
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: was the place, like violator, like that was Was it

403
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: part of death Jam too? Was it?

404
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: Yeah? Chris was the VP of A and R. He

405
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: had violated records under death Jam and then I just

406
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: appropriated a small office and was instead of violated management,

407
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: unbeknownst le Or Russell and anybody else in the building,

408
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 2: I just operaded, you know.

409
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 3: But so I was in prison looking at all that studying,

410
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 3: everybody studying the whole game, right, But what I like,

411
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: what I love is your transition because I'm big on transition,

412
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 3: being able to start one.

413
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 2: Place and and evolution, evolution, and how you was.

414
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: Able to get into the TV world and really come

415
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 3: with this this show that's still a staple right now.

416
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 3: Talk about that a little bit, like how was you

417
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: able to do that? Because everybody can't. I'm still trying

418
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: to do it.

419
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: And it's years for that show get made. It took

420
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: years for the show to get made. But I also

421
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: think the show, like I said before, it resonated, right.

422
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 2: There was something about it that people connected to because

423
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: it was a reflection of a people they knew or

424
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: or had seen or had come across in their own life,

425
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: but be an aspirational world that they were curious about.

426
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: Right.

427
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: Hip hop has always been at the center of pop culture,

428
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 2: but it was like nobody knew what was going on

429
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, who these people really are, how did

430
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: they navigate their relationships? And here we just pulled the

431
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: curtain back and gave them that you know, insider Bird's eye.

432
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: V And it was like before it's time kind of

433
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: like because it was very early.

434
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 2: Nothing was like that.

435
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: It was love and hip hop. The first time I

436
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: ever heard about it, I was in the car with Olivia.

437
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 3: She was like, yeah, so I'm doing the show with

438
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: Jim and Christy and.

439
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: And shout out to Emily B who actually named the show.

440
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: I don't really talk about that often yet because we

441
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 2: were going back and forth with a lot of names,

442
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: and Emily was the person who was like love and

443
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 2: hip hop and we all were like, really, that's It's

444
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: funny because at first it was like, oh, that's too simple,

445
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: and then it was like a genius love and hip

446
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: hop exactly. Wow. But yeah, it's it's been very long running.

447
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: But one of the things that I also take pride

448
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: in is that there were other shows, not many, but

449
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: they were some of them. But it was always important

450
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: for me that the women reflected who they were in

451
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: their real lives. They were beautiful, they were sexy, they

452
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: were you know, aspirational, and so we took a lot

453
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 2: of care in the right lenses, the right lighting, because

454
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: prior to that we was looking a little ashy on reality,

455
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: did not care. I mean, I'm lucked for life, right.

456
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: So the show goes on for as long as it

457
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 2: goes on. There's a you know, team in place that

458
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: does the day to day operations and producing. I'm not

459
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 2: hands on the show anymore, but you know very much

460
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: the EP of the show.

461
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: And what's more stressful management or working with the reality shows?

462
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 2: You know, I used to say management, Now I would say, listen,

463
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: you're dealing with talent. You're dealing with people with emotions

464
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: and passion, right, whether you're talking about recording artists, are

465
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: vocalists or reality stars. So it's it's pretty much the

466
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 2: same because guess what all of the stress that artists
