And I'm and 183 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 10: I'm happy for a young girl out of Memphis, Mississippi, 184 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 10: where somewhere out there where she's from, that was able 185 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 10: to make a living off of it. To me, I'm 186 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 10: never I'm never knocking anybody who figures out a way 187 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 10: to make a living. 188 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 4: Does that hurt the craft? 189 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 5: But let's take it back though. But let's take it 190 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 5: back though, because we've got to go back to the beginning. 191 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 5: Because me, I have albums, many albums, many songs with 192 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 5: no auto tune mm hmm. Now, all of a sudden, 193 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 5: I'm competing against singers who aren't singers who can't necessarily 194 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 5: hold that note, that can't necessarily do that run that 195 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 5: they're not as technical as I am, but the autotune 196 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 5: is holding them up and helping them almost. 197 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: Sound as good as I sound. Technically. 198 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 5: We've been fighting against AI for a long time, Grammy 199 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 5: for absolutely. 200 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And guess what I said. I don't. I don't 201 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: care what the playing field is. 202 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 6: Let's play fight out and I think it's a time 203 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 6: and place for all. 204 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 3: Then I don't think all the two works in the bedroom. 205 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 5: You I just I disagree with you because you have 206 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 5: heard a tank with you just don't. It's not just 207 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 5: I don't. I don't t paying my auto tune right, 208 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 5: but I understand how to use the tool. 209 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 8: And I also think have you seen Tank perform live? 210 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: Yes? 211 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 8: So I think once we've seen I'm a live performer, 212 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 8: we wouldn't even think there would be. 213 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 5: Anything because I don't need it, right, But I understand 214 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 5: the sonic behind it. I understand why it cuts through 215 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 5: and why what it does on radio and what it 216 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 5: does when it comes through your head. I understand sonically 217 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 5: what that is. That's just me being an engineer time rewind. 218 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 6: But I think it's something to being able to grab 219 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 6: a microphone anytime, anywhere. 220 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: And. 221 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 5: That's why, and that's why it doesn't matter. It's just 222 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 5: another player in the game that we are competing against. 223 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 5: I don't care who it is. Let's fight, let's compete. 224 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: And it's enough space for ever.

You need 357 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 10: a studio for a month, two months that you know, 358 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 10: the artist is showing up to two three days out 359 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 10: of that time.

So at 375 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 5: a at a point where some artists they need to 376 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 5: run to that high level producer, they need to run 377 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 5: to that high level writer, and it is going to 378 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 5: cost them to get in the game.

If you had the power to change 384 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 6: one thing about the business side of R and B, 385 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 6: what gets fixed for us that like what you're talking about. 386 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: Now, budgets budgets. 387 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 5: No, I think the budget part is easy because I 388 00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 5: think at this point, now everybody understands that, you know, 389 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 5: the days of you know, fifty hundred thousand dollars tracks over. 390 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 5: Everybody's trying to figure Now everybody's trying to get placements 391 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 5: because everybody can produce. Now, everybody can write. Now you 392 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 5: see AI, don't don't think it's not don't think those 393 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 5: submissions have of those submissions aren't AI.

I would just add more money to that 398 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 5: part of it, because yeah, but we need to we 399 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 5: need to. 400 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: Be put on bigger stages.

He's like, I was like, no, no, 656 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 5: we're going to bring you down here. The highest note 657 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 5: that you're going to sing is that's the highest note 658 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 5: you're That's that's how you're going and we're going to 659 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 5: stay right there. And so that's I think that's not 660 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 5: even just on the singer. That's on the people who 661 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 5: are actually crafting the music and don't take time to 662 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 5: actually get to know the artists and there and what 663 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 5: they're bringing to the table. 664 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 2: And I think that's why people compare Chris to Michael 665 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 2: Jackson all the time, not that they can be a comparison, 666 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: but if you ever see his show, you see him 667 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 2: flying around the air and flipping and stancing, and it 668 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 2: still sounding. 669 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 9: Glen Mike is still on from top to bottom of 670 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 9: the show, like that's ridiculous, and then here go do 671 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 9: a meet and greet and then probably go in the studio. 672 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: Is different and it was long. 673 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 4: His show is like four hours hours. 674 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 5: No, we're not all aliens, We're not on aliens. The 675 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 5: two people completely not from this planet. Whitney he was another, 676 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 5: said christ Michael Jack. 677 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 2: But Whitney to Whitney. When you when you listen to 678 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 2: Whitney alien, no matter what she sings, you. 679 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: Be like, how the hell you get that? 680 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 9: No doubt, and then be singing, smiling, smiling, Yeah damn 681 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 9: she got stand up, hold the stomach. 682 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 8: And that happens when the artists right, So like and 683 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 8: Omary was lucky that you were able to hear that 684 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 8: and do that, But like today, these artists aren't getting 685 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 8: those producers right sometimes and then they don't know their 686 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 8: own identity enough to be like, no, I shouldn't be 687 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 8: singing there. How do you navigate that if you have 688 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 8: that wave? And it's because I think sometimes I see 689 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 8: artists and I'm like, dang, they have the moment, but 690 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 8: you can tell their still trying to figure out who 691 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 8: they show up as, like what they got it. 692 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 5: Well, it's it's two part, right, because as an artist, 693 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 5: a lot of times you don't even know what to 694 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 5: ask for, right, You're you're just looking for success, and 695 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 5: however it comes right, you don't know what to do. 696 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 5: On the other side of it, You don't even know 697 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 5: what to do going into it. You just look up 698 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 5: and have this thing. And so a lot of the 699 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 5: oners or the responsibility is on the artists who desire 700 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,919 Speaker 5: or seek more in terms of understanding from the gift, 701 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 5: to the marketing, to all of these things. But then 702 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 5: it falls on the people around them. Right, So if 703 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 5: there's a manager and all of these cool things that 704 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 5: are that are coming into play, and then let's go 705 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 5: even further than that, when people who do know when 706 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 5: the label comes in and the people who are trying 707 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:29,959 Speaker 5: to make money off of all. 708 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: Of these things, who know better, they should know better, 709 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: they should know. 710 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 3: Better, and they should do better. 711 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 8: But they always right because because back to the labels, 712 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 8: Hey where's my camera, where's my camera? 713 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 10: Start hiring black executive again.
