99
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 6: He was a baby when I was a teenager. So

100
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 6: it started in church.

101
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 5: So my whole family went to the church and it

102
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 5: was like y'all gonna sing be in a ursher board.

103
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 5: So it started there and then what ended up happening

104
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: was in school one day this the teacher made everybody

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 5: get up and sing, you know, the stop spang abound

106
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,320

107
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 5: Kye Heights Elementary School on the west side Lema, and

108
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 5: the teacher got made this boy get up and sing right,

109
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 5: and he couldn't sing, and everybody started laughing. I wasn't

110
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: even laughing. She looked straight at me and say, well,

111
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 5: since you think it's so funny, you get up and sing.

112
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: I don't really know I can sing. I just know

113
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 5: what I do at church. And so when I got

Speaker 5: She took me to the music teacher, offers Ms. Holloway.

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,520

Speaker 5: doing music at church or I was doing it at school.

119
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,600

342
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 5: I had older brothers and cousins, so by the fault

343
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 5: there was management because they was old enough with the

344
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 5: cars and driving us around. So they used to take

345
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 5: us to the shows and stuff, so we used to

346
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 5: go try to. They used to pay for us to

347
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: win studio time. You know, they was in the streets

348
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 5: and doing all kinds of stuff. So they had the

349
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 5: little money, they'll go pay for studio time to sing

350
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 5: and stuff.

351
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 6: And I remember we used to pay studio time. And

352
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 6: I remember we was like man. Our group.

353
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 5: We was all kind of like arch kids because we

354
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 5: could play and sing and stuff. We were like man. Instead

355
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 5: of pant they giving us wax songs. We could sing

356
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 5: our own wax songs. That's our only thing. Like instead

357
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 5: of paying for these demo we could do our own

358
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 5: wax songs. If they're gonna be terrible, we might as

359
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 5: well sing our own terrible songs. So that's what made

360
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 5: us doing it, because we could already play and all

361
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 5: that kind of time.

362
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,760

534
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 5: crazy was in the midst of us doing the demo,

535
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 5: she called us again, she can't look I got another

536
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,879

537
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 5: be in the group, I want him solo. I'm goin

538
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 5: to bring him down. She went and got this other

539
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 5: little guy and brought him down and she was like, nah,

540
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 5: he's gonna be solo because I can get two separate deals.

541
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 6: That Look, I was seven.

542
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 5: She was moving should down. So now she was fond.

543
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 5: And then she had signed Dallas at this point, so

544
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 5: you have by not that. But they had no they

545
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 5: had no issues or whatever. But they worked it out.

546
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 5: But one under the one condition was and when she

547
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 5: found her acts in her groups, Dallas were gonna do

548
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 5: songs on them. You got to realize at this point,

549
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 5: Dallas the biggest producer in the world. He doing TLC, ABC,

550
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 5: he doing Boys and Me and this back when you

551
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 5: were telling Diamond Records, and he right now producing the songs.

552
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 6: He got a real studio, this one.

553
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 5: Having a real studio meant something for real for even

554
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 5: though it's still mean something, it's just different back then. Yeah,

555
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 5: And so she brought us all over to Dallas. He

556
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 5: started working on Lloyd album and he say, but I'm

557
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 5: gonna sign Sammy solo. But Lloyd already had his deal.

558
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: Lloyd had a solo deal no, Lloyd had an album

559
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: with this group.

560
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 5: With the group, Okay, so Dallas working on a group album,

561
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 5: and he like, but I'm gonna sign Sammy solo because

562
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 5: that way she didn't have to put Sammy in the

563
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 5: group with Lord. She'll let Lloyd keep being in the

564
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 5: lead singer. She's like, I'm gonna get a whole another

565
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 5: budget with Sammy through this process. And through all this process,

566
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 5: that's when I meet Dallas through and Lloyd. I used

567
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 5: to write our Lord songs. So layd to tell Dallas, man,

568
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 5: my friend ain't gonna come and write my songs with me.

569
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,000

650
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So I practiced a whole

651
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 5: long time on Lord, but when I got with Semi,

652

970
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 3: to ask you, because you had your writing on. What

971
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 3: made you think, you know what, I can figure this

972
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 3: production out there? Somebody giving you the information like how

973
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 3: you said Dallas kind of brought you in and just

974
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 3: showed you the ropes?

975
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: Was it from him or who was that from?

976
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 5: Definitely him? Because for real the first time. So when

977
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 5: I first met doubt it is the first thing I

978
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 5: did was play songs on piano and sang the songs

979
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 5: to him.

980
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 6: That's why he wanted to sign.

981
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 5: Me, like, oh you're one hundred percent so here like

982
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 5: oh you don't really need nobody, But I wasn't all

983
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 5: the way good on the beat.

984
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: Shit.

985
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 5: What happened was he let me sit around him, and

986
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 5: he let me sit around the studio. Then I really

987
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 5: learned by watching everybody how they did the beats. Then

988
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 5: I had a room in at the time who he

989
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 5: had got an MPC two thousand, Jeff, and he was

990
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 5: an intern at the studio, so he was my roommate.

991
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 5: So I practiced at home with him and then but

992
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 5: I knew I could produce because for real, what the producer.

993
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 5: The reason I started getting placement was because the producers

994
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 5: could give me the track and I produced everybody vocals

995
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 5: and I could make people sound good. And that learned

996
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 5: early on. If you can get artists to sound good,

997
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 5: they always want to work with you. Yeah, And it

998
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 5: was harder to do back then. You know, you had

999
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 5: to really vocal produce back then. Yeah, so every artist

1000
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 5: used to. So the producers started being like, that's what

1001
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 5: gonna write my songs because they ain't got to sit

1002
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 5: there with me and produce it. I'm a vocal producer.

1003
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it all. And so then after that

1004
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 5: it's like, man, I can already play, I can already

1005
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 5: vocal produce all.

1006
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 6: I gott dudes learn how to work this NPC the

1007
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 6: right way, and that's it.

1008
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 5: And so that's what I did. I practiced on the

1009
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 5: MPC for a little while, and then I'm like, okay,

1010
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 5: my ears put it all together, start fine tuning it,

1011
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 5: and then I start making beats, and man, they like

1012
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 5: they're gonna bite it your beats. Okay, well it must

1013
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 5: be good enough.

1014
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Cool. Did the beat that you sold did

1015
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: it ever come out?

1016
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 5: Ever came out?

1017
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: Just got your check? I just got my check your

00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: front end fron got Yeah, you have the four teen.

00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: Yep, that was back then.

1021
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 5: He gave me the full thing. It wasn't even on

1022
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 5: front and back because he needed his five. Yeah, because

1023
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 5: he needed five.

1024
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: Pushed that through.

1025
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 5: Push it on cool. So it never even came out

1026
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 5: on that artist. It never even came out. And then

1027
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 5: after that it just started flowing.

1377
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 5: make mistakes. But for him to fight back from where

1378
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 5: he had a fail from and how they tried to

1379
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 5: and he had to go back to doing those mixed

1380
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 5: tapes and he had to grind his way back up

1381
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 5: and figure it all out to get back. You know,

1382
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,440

1383
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 5: gonna be honest with you, I kind of believe he's

1384
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,760

01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,000
