Speaker 2: One, what's kept you all together all of these years

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: just as a collect.

35
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 7: I would say, like the grind that you saw and

36
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 7: making the band of us even being created as a

37
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 7: group like that was serious. Like we really walked to

38
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 7: get cheese scaped, We really stood outside in the cold

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 7: and put our all into this. So we take that

40
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 7: serious everywhere we go, you know, and.

41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 8: Then you'll never thought about like we just walking home,

42
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 8: you know, but I can say I really really wanted it.

43
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 9: But like nobody ever said, like tell you.

44
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 10: Then they group members fell off and came back and

45
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 10: things of that, and so we had, you know, we

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 10: had the heels and the valleys of groups. But at

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 10: the same time, I think the passion behind us and

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 10: the other thing that we're really trying to accomplish out

49
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 10: here is is what keeps us going and we really

50
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 10: like to be in front of the fans. We like to, uh,

51
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 10: you know, just create the new music and be in

52
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 10: fun of him all the time.

53
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: I don't remember him making y'all walk for remember the band?

54
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 6: We walked the band they only had to go to

55
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 6: They only had to go to Brooklyn, Brooklyn. We had

56
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 6: to walk off all of across George Washington Bridge.

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: And I don't remember that.

58
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it was crazy. It was bull.

59
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 11: Never should have happened. Yeah.

60
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: When when do you think that that show really was

61
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: trying to set you all off for success or it's

62
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: just for TV?

63
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: I think it's more honestly, that show was kind of

64
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: in my opinion, it is.

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 12: My TV TV.

66
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: It was TV, you know what I'm saying. It definitely

67
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: wasn't set up for the artists to to to to

68
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: succeed after definitely wasn't.

69
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: But he didn't know what it was doing, you know

70
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: what he's doing.

71
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: Only by the grades of God that like we were

72
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: able to still maintain and still be here and still

73
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: do music and not just do music, but do like

74
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: still do amazing music. Y'all heard?

84
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,799

Speaker 12: The music while.

86
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,280

87
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: was made for you guys, not to succeed. Why do

88
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: you feel that way? I mean, just to show I

89
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: should say, I mean just just the way the whole

90
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: thing was like set up, like even from the contracts,

91
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, the way it was structured

92
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: to like when the cameras were gone, he was like,

93
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: all right, guys, it was nice knowing you.

94
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying.

95
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 6: We had we had to really go in and fight

96
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 6: for our next fight for our next deal, like we

97
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 6: wasn't already signed, you know what I'm saying. We literally

98
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 6: had to have people like Beacocks and that really cared

99
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 6: about us and what was the name that we need?

100
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 6: Tell it took people like that to go to the label,

101
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 6: like what are y'all doing? Bro, y'all got the hottest

102
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 6: R and B group in the world here, and y'all

103
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 6: won't do nothing with them, you know, And so that's

104
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 6: what it took for us to even get in the

105
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 6: door to do another project.

106
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: They wasn't worried about us like that. It was for

107
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 4: what it was for.

108
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 11: They thought about it for it like that.

109
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 10: But you got people who've been grinding their whole life

110
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 10: at certain things. It wasn't just a start at a

111
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 10: TV show exactly. It was things that you know, I

112
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 10: was ten years in right and stuff like that.

113
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 6: Right, I was signed to Wild Left at the time,

114
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 6: you know, and I was a music world you know what,

115
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 6: father for years.

116
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: So we was already in the game.

117
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 6: It was created to make it look like he gave

118
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 6: us to like put us learn. We learned everything we

119
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 6: knew from this situation, every thing, but it were venting

120
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 6: the game. We had to get brought out of our contract,

121
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 6: some of us.

122
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: How would y'all do some of the.

123
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: Things, because if y'all were already in the industry, right,

124
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: I understand for people that was this was their first

125
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: time signing, and why would y'all do some of the

126
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: things that they made y'all do. If y'all were there,

127
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: like you were signed, you were signed before y'all already

128
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: your foot was in the door, Why would y'all do

129
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that I feel was like, I

130
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: don't want to say degrading, but little degraded, like walk

131
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: five boroughs across the George Washington Bridge, go get cheesecake,

132
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: like and y'all know, it wasn't part of the industry.

133
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: That was just part of the show.

134
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 10: I think at that point, it's just you know, you

135
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 10: got your foot in, but you ain't all the way

136
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 10: where you want to go. And you see somebody who's

137
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 10: a musical mogul and who can possibly take this thing

138
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 10: and take it somewhere else, so you'd be like, yeah,

139
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 10: all right, cool, I'll go and take that chance.

140
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 11: I think that was more of a chance, and we

141
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 11: just took it, you know what I mean.

142
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 6: And then for some of us, like me, I always

143
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 6: wanted to be signed a bad Boy, so that was

144
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 6: a that was a big thing for me, Like eat,

145
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 6: No matter the deals that I had before that or

146
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 6: the deal I was currently in, that's a position that

147
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 6: I always wanted to be in. I didn't know what

148
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 6: it was before I got into it, but that's where

149
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 6: when I moved to the United States. Bad Boy was

150
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 6: the first R and B hip hop that I even

151
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 6: knew or heard of, so it had that kind of influence.

152
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 6: And when you got that kind of influence on somebody,

153
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 6: especially at a young age, you.

154
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying, Like, where did you move from?

155
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 6: Germany? I grew up in Augsburg, German. My dad's in military,

156
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 6: so I'll travel around a lot. But once I came

157
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 6: back here, I wasn't allowed to listen to R and

158
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 6: B music like that because my dad is a bishop,

159
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 6: he's a pastor. So when I came here, it was

160
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 6: with my mom and I got to experience R and B.

161
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 6: Bad Boy was the first thing that I really gravitated to,

162
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 6: So it was something I really really wanted. So it's

163
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 6: like going after something that you've been going after all

164
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 6: your life and it being right there, you might do

165
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 6: some things that you wouldn't normally.

166
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 8: Do where y'all seeing like the previous season, like you know,

167
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 8: were y'all close with any of the other people like

168
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 8: child you know that.

169
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 4: Came after.

170
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 6: Nobody gave us heads up, I mean came, but they

171
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 6: were still doing They were still very well in the

172
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 6: middle of their situation too, so they wouldn't given us

173
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 6: that many jewels to really to make us understand what

174
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 6: the situation was. But they did try to tell us

175
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 6: a few things, and the big sisters to us and

176
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 6: you know, help us out or whatever, prior to us

177
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 6: finding out for ourselves.

178
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: I wonder did people take y'all serious because y'all had

179
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: talent that was obviously. There was also the antics to

180
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: the TV show, And I always think about that one

181
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: scene where.

182
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: Y'all was singing y'all last was like, yeah, but y'all

184
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: There's a million things that did he say at that

185
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: time that.

186
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: Now we didn't age well, we went back to watch

187
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,119
Speaker 3: the clip and you forget how hard y'all was singing?

188
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,080

00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 10: was meaning, like.

200
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,520

Speaker 11: I'm singing. But it wrong. It's how they That's the

202
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 11: only way I was going to continue.

203
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Because if you watch.

204
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 8: The people thing, he explained it a little bit before.

205
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 8: Like the video that's going around now they cut out

206
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 8: the mole. He did explain it like he wants he

207
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 8: wants you to be open, like emotionally open, and that's

208
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 8: how you get.

209
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: The explained making.

210
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 11: He did explained it.

211
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 8: But the video that's going Viraus just they were just singing.

212
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, that's that makes really need to

213
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: make It's just not aging.

214
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 13: Well let's just put.

215
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 4: Us especially with the new allegations or whatever things are.

216
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: But did that make people take y'all less serious?

217
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: Definitely.

218
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 6: We we had a hard time breaking into radio because

219
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 6: people really thought it was just a giveing for TV.

220
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 6: And we had the number one album in the country

221
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 6: and couldn't get radio plays because it couldn't get radio

222
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 6: play because people was literally like, oh, we didn't think

223
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 6: y'all need that, Like y'all you know what I'm saying.

224
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 10: And it was crazy because the people people really didn't

225
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 10: give us the chance for as musically because of it.

226
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 10: They was like, yo, y'all come into places and people

227
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 10: coming to see y'all and y'all selling things out, but

228
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 10: y'all didn't have a y'all don't have a record.

229
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 11: That was pushing it was.

230
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 10: It was more from the TV success that DJ's and

231
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 10: nobody would really give us that full play like yo,

232
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 10: now it's real dope stuff, you know, But we just

233
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 10: wouldn't getting it just because of the TV show and

234
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 10: what they thought we already had, you know what I mean.

235
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 8: And then even then going from you know, because Willie

236
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 8: you went from uh making a band to.

237
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: Love and hip hop?

238
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 9: He did more. Really, how did that help or hurt?

239
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 9: Did that help career?

240
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 10: I mean just steady and steady on the grind of things, man.

241
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 10: I don't think that it, you know, helped much.

242
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 11: But at the same time, it was visibility.

243
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 8: Yeah for sure, because then we started looking at you

244
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 8: as I get it right, But you.

245
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 10: Know anything, but the best thing about the best thing

246
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 10: about it is I'm seventeen years married now to this day.

247
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 11: Ye, So you know what I'm saying.

248
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 10: No matter if we mess up or the things, as

249
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 10: long as we grow and we mature from those things

250
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 10: and were able to correct our rooms. I feel like

251
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 10: we get to a better stage, I think, and that's

252
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 10: why I am now how.

253
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: Much of that is in the new album, Like what

254
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: songs reflected?

255
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: Every Man, Every record on that album is somebody's story

256
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: at one point or another. Every single Like it's seventeen

257
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: of the hardest R and B records you'll ever hear.

258
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying example a member of the group,

259
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: but this is one of the dopest R and B

260
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: albums in a long long time.

261
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 10: And to answer your question, one of the songs that

262
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 10: I think the touch on for me is a record

263
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 10: called In or Out. I think it's really big for

264
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 10: a lot of relationships now a days. You know how

265
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 10: we go in and sometimes we feel like we hear

266
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 10: we nodded, and we may be in a position to

267
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 10: almost lose our girl, but we're fighting back and we

268
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 10: don't understand the arguments and things to say, those type

269
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 10: of things. I think all that stuff comes down to

270
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 10: that one record, In or Out.

271
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 11: I think it's really really dope.

272
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 6: Shout out to the exclusive to produce, Yeah, and they

273
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 6: and they really did extensive research on each of us

274
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 6: before they went in and produced the records. Like they

275
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 6: knew about our situations. They knew about me being newly married,

276
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 6: they knew about some of the things they went through personally,

277
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 6: and so they really worked hard to incorporate it into

278
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 6: the record, to make it personal and make it, you know, make.

279
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 8: It congratulations, you're newly married, you are three years Okay,

287
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,800

Speaker 6: Man, we don't even be we don't We're not even

306
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 6: around each other on an everyday basis to be able

307
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,720

Speaker 6: They able to see each other every time they want.

312
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 6: We all live in five different places across the United States.

313
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 6: We even to just get a rehearsal for a show,

316
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,480

317
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 4: this whole time.

318
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,800

00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 8: How did you?

326
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: How did that make y'all feel? Because y'all, I don't

327

Speaker 1: I mean, man, I feel like people like that I mean,

329
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: especially with him having like a huge like platform and

330
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: then having a huge partner putting us together. Obviously, it's

331
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: almost like I don't want nobody else to love you

332
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: if I can't have you type type situation, so I

Speaker 3: You know what, nobody else, nobody.

336
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: I don't think.

337
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 6: I don't think it really affected us like that because

338
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 6: I've heard did he say hisself, like, I work with

339
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 6: everybody from one twelve to that, and I've heard everybody

340
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 6: from Joasy he was and he's basically like Day twenty

341
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 6: six is the best group I've ever in my life

342
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 6: work with bocally, So I've heard him. We've heard him

343
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 6: say those things as well, so we work with him

344
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 6: at the time.

345
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: Did you believe him when he said that he believe.

346
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 4: He knows that we are.

347
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 6: I believe what he said too, and I believe he

348
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 6: really believed that he knows.

349
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: That's what.

350
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 6: I don't think he would care if we weren't, if

351
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 6: we didn't weren't capable of doing.

352
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: Y'all better vocally than Jodasy he did.

353
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 6: That's what he said. I didn't say that. I'm just saying, yeah,

354
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 6: he's a lie. I like y'all, but no.

355
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 11: Singing that Josey is great man, and so I'm not

356
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 11: gonna say, Okay.

357
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: I can see that if you're saying it like that,

358
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: Kat and Jojo the lead singer and then when one

359
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: twelve is usually slim with all of y'all can sing.

360
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 8: But but let's just be honest. Though some people do

361
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 8: skate off of sex appeal and and and them good

362
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 8: hits though, like I'm not I'm not sitting here discredit

363
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 8: in Judas, like yeah, we know them for them hits,

364
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 8: you know, but then you got vocalists like motherfuckers that

365
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 8: can like sing a cappella and make you feel the

366
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 8: same way.

367
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why it's the big voice to men because

368
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 6: they both embodied.

369
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it's both of them vibe two things

370
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 8: at the same time.

371
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 9: Both of y'all vibe.

372
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 8: But it's like vocally, like if you can hear somebody

373
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 8: saying a cappella and make you get that that feeling

374
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 8: of jodasy when you you look like but then you

375
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 8: need to beat, you need everything with that, it's like

376
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 8: a vibe. I really feel vocally they are a strong group.

377
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: But what you said is true.

378
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: It's like Casey and Jojo would the singers, but all

379
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: five of y'all, can I get it?

380
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: So what happened to the bad Boy deal? And so

381
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: because you were still, like you said, still having number

382
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: one records and everything, So why did.

383
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 6: They so did he went through some stuff I guess

384
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 6: with with with Atlantic and we were joint venture between

385
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 6: Atlantic and Bad Boy and whatever they went through at

386
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 6: the time Atlantic took us from bad Atlanta kept y'all,

387
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 6: yeah exactly, we were going to move forward whatever that

388
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 6: situation was with Bad Boy because we we had to

389
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 6: stay with Atlantic. And when y'all Atlantic did, they believe

390
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 6: like they should have, they believed and we worked and

391
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 6: then Brian decided to, uh, you know, do some things

392
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 6: that made us lose.

393
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: Situation like they Look, I'm telling you, we like to

394
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: tell the truth.

395
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 4: Y'all like to fabricate a whole lot.

396
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 9: Man.

403
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: So what happened, Brian and I had to step away

404

00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 13: Like that.

456
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why, Brian. You know, I'm gonna

457
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: tell you why somebody had to be the bad guy always.

458
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell exactly why Atlantic ended up signing T

459
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: G T mm hmmm. And it was a situation where

460
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: two groups are the same. I mean, I mean they're

461
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: pretty much the same type of group.

462
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 13: Not really, not at all.

463
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 11: It was it was all you, Brian. It was nothing.

464
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 5: About there's a lot of happening, man, just a minute

465
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 5: at the time.

466
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 4: We was going through some things.

467
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: And you know, I wanted different management.

468
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 6: No, no, this was like what eleven I think eleven eleven.

469
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 8: But that's what happens when it's a group like you

470
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 8: feel me because you can't make decision because you're making

471
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 8: decisions for yourself, but the whole time it's for other

472
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 8: people for an account.

473
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: And when you bring somebody like a T. G.

474
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 3: T and they're gonna say, were given all especially back

475
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: then we're gonna give all our resources.

476
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: These more established artists.

477
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 8: Who have made an individually come together and that's exactly

478
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 8: what happened.

479
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: But obviously they want to put off from me. So

480
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: you know what, guys, I'll take that bound. So who

481
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: called Brian after because I know one of y'all called him.

482
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: Like talk talk too long time? I was that was

483
00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 4: at the time.

484
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 6: That was thing back back in after we thought the

485
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 6: label wasn't paying attention.

486
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 13: We then went to.

487
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 6: Atlanta and recorded this bomb album and we're just ready

488
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 6: to kick the door in a way that wasn't for

489
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 6: making the band. You know, people could take us serious.

490
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 6: We were finally in that position.

491
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: Don't let me, don't let me.

492
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: Fight for you, fight for your credibility.

493
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, Why would I shoot a music video?

494
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Why would I go to one O six in Parking

495
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: premiere the video with guys and everything and not playing

496
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: on being a member.

497
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 11: Because you didn't know what your actions was gonna lead to. Bro,

498
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 11: he just did something.

499
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 13: So basically just.

500
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 2: Intentional. You didn't mean to do it.

501
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: I just wanted my business handle.

502
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 13: There we go.

503
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 9: Bro, are you the youngest, you're the baby?

504
00:21:53,600 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: Are you the nigga? Why did you believe what was?

505
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: Why did you leave initially?

506
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 7: Well, if you watched making the band for like the

507
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 7: last season you saw that.

508
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 13: I was like tripping about management.

509
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: I remember that business.

510
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 7: So that's why when we went to Atlantic, I was like,

511
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 7: oh he's still involved.

512
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: No who the manager at the time? Okay with the manager,

513
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: I remember.

514
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, old.

515
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: So when I went into your business, how did y'all

516
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: eat during that time? I know you jumped hip because

517
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: it was like the bags was there, this was out,

518
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: this was my life. So how did y'all eat from that?

519
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: You just get dropped. Brian's not effort with y'all, You're

520
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: not talking to him. So how did y'all eat? Because

521
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: y'all group, I.

522
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 6: Mean, God is good because we had a lot of

523
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 6: exposure at that point where we could do we could

524
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 6: find money in the same industry doing everything like for instance,

525
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 6: even still now work for the Board of Education in

526
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 6: New York for black New York black arts that do

527
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 6: off off broad off Broadway for all the schools in

528
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 6: in the area that you know, children can't pay all

529
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 6: those money for Broadway tickets, so we bring Broadway to

530
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 6: the schools and stuff like that. So I got into

531
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 6: I got involved in that more that end of things.

532
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 6: And still you know, producing and writing for people people

533
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 6: always once they see you on TV your music things,

534
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 6: people always gonna come. And you know you're always gonna

535
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 6: be able to have a bag. If you know how

536
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 6: to work, he'll work, you'll craft.

537
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 7: What about you of not being in the group, Michael, Ye,

538
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 7: to be honest, it was a very hard time about

539
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 7: It was a very hard time for me. This is

540
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 7: a time where I went through mental health and I'm

541
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 7: hell now, but that's I went through so much of

542
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 7: not being in a group and.

543
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 13: Some other stuff too. Uh. It's just was a time

544
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 13: of kind of like me trying to recover.

545
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: Did you yes, good job me too?

546
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

547
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

548
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask because you said something Mary, You

549
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: said that did he didn't really know what he was doing,

550
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: which is shocking because you know of all the success

551
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: he's had with R and B groups like before y'all

552
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 3: it was the Jodys was the one twelve.

553
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: What you mean when he said you didn't know what

554
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: he's doing?

555
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 6: Well, I just think it was more. I think it

556
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 6: was more divine. I think God had more to do

557
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 6: with it. I believe he knows good talent, he know

558
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 6: how to put it together. I just don't think he

559
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 6: thought he was putting together this five Well, I meant

560
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 6: that all these years later, whether he's involved or not,

561
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 6: no matter how much we've been kicked down or that,

562
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 6: we're still gonna overcome, you know, from these five different

563
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 6: places in the in the world that already put a

564
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 6: big wedge but between us to be able to be successful,

565
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 6: to be able to get rehearsals in and stuff like that.

566
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 6: So I just don't think he really knew. I don't

567
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 6: think he was really in control. That's just my spiritual opinion.

568
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 6: You know, I think you know what I hate you, guys.

569
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 7: I hate a passionate person that doesn't have a good

570
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 7: work ethic. And I think we're all passionate and to

571
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 7: have great work ethic, and I think that keep us

572
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 7: together too.

573
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: Did he don't have a good work up because you're

574
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 3: saying no, I think other groups and people that can't

575
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: keep it together.

576
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 7: And like artists got you, sometimes they have the passion,

577
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 7: but they don't know how to put the work in

578
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 7: behind it.

579
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 13: They don't want to get.

580
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 7: Up early in the morning, or I don't know, they

581
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 7: just don't want to put the work in behind it.

582
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 3: But what did y'all learn from bad Boy in those days?

583
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: That y'all are still able to apply to now.

584
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: Man, there's always somebody, always somebody trying to take I'll

585
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: never forget that. I always remember that somebody always trying

586
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: to take your spot, like somebody else is working harder,

587
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like so like, I think

588
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: that's that plays a huge part in us still being

589
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: a group as well. The sad thing is what you

590
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: said something earlier that because it was a reality show

591
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: on TV show, I don't think people took y'all as

592
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: serious as they should have, right. I think we did

593
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: that with everybody. I think we did that with Deity Cane.

594
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: I think we did that with the making of the

595
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: band Crew with even on the crossover, Ruben studied and Fantasia.

596
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: Fantasia is kind of the only one that we really

597
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: accepted to. But Ruben, I don't love them.

598
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: I disagree.

599
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: I just heard an album like working a new album

600
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: now phenomenal.

601
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 3: The reason I disagree with the analogy he's making because

602
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 3: they didn't make people on American Idol do the things

603
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 3: that they made. American Idol was always treated as this

604
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 3: is gonna be the next superstar, It's gonna be America's

605
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: next top superstar.

606
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: They didn't have him walking to Brooklyn.

607
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: Like a degrading type thing was you know what I'm saying.

608
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 10: And at the time it's crazy because at the time

609
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 10: you don't see it that way. And man, you just

610
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 10: sent a fight and you like, you know, the competitive

611
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 10: nature and you was like, now I'm just gonna win you.

612
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 13: I mean, no matter what, make.

613
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 6: You when you're competing and make it like that too,

614
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 6: Like when you're competing to Geinst somebody else, it's not

615
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 6: really thinking about what you're doing.

616
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 4: It's just thinking about beating you know what I mean?

617
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 11: What it is he ain't gonna beat me.

618
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: For the first album too. When the group was picked,

619
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: y'all still in the competition.

620
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 4: Not me.

621
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: If when when Brian left the group, did y'all did

622
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 3: they Well, you didn't even have the option, but did

623
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: you think about replacing them?

624
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: You know our fans wouldn't have that.

625
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's what we felt.

626
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 10: We just felt like with them watching us grow on

627
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 10: TV and come together and it's just been hard to

628
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 10: be like, yeah, here's.

629
00:26:59,040 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 13: This new guy.

630
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 4: Can't get no cheesecake.

631
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 14: I feel like that wasted a lot of other groups

632
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 14: tried it and it failed.

633
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: No, audition did great with it when they put Johnny in.

634
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 13: Yeah, That'sohn.

635
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 6: Somebody somebody didn't lose nobody to add them.

636
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 4: They just added an addition to they didn't get rid of.

637
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 13: We watched a lot of.

638
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah that.

639
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 13: Different things.

640
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: Goes back to the point like all of y'all are vocalists,

641
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 3: you can do that and definitely child because no disrespect.

644
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: What was your take when Brian left? Because everybody saying

645
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 3: it was completely Brian. They got dropped from.

Speaker 1: anything like that. Nobody reached out to us before did anything.

681
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: The tour was on, so nobody reached out to us,

682
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: And I felt that was kind of weird because like, yo,

683
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 1: like I felt like we played a huge part and

687
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 12: It was the nation.

Speaker 11: And to shut up, man, load of the back.

706
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 12: Guy.

707
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 13: I don't understand why.

708
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: I don't understand the miscommunication because that's just a conversation.

709
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: Now now he said all that, right, that's my first

710
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: time hearing about all that.

711
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 4: No, it's not bro, I did.

712
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 11: You see what I'm saying?

713
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: Like, y'all you always want Okay, cool.

714
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 15: You know you got the Beast accountability who definitely said

715
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 15: after the fact.

716
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: But I'm saying before nobody knew about any of this,

717
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: any of this, they was thinking there was no communication,

718
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: there was no transparency. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Do you

719
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: think it would have happened had I known all this information?

720
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: Like That's why I'm saying, like communication is key to everything,

721
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: every relationship, every business, every everything. Communication is key to everything.

722
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: And there was no communication being brought to Brian.

723
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 9: So if somebody knew and with tell.

724
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: You, I didn't know, that was management. Okay, management, brothers,

725
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: forget the management.

726
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 11: No management told us not to tell Brian.

727
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: I got left out of it.

728
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 14: Because again, this was weeks of him telling us this,

729
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 14: and we were in the process, like we're in the

730
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 14: last phase of like doing the autograph signing to be

731
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 14: a part of the tour. So I don't understand how

732
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 14: he slipped through the cracks and everybody else didn't.

733
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: But right, every every executive bad Boy is lying if

734
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: they act like that band era of bad Boy didn't matter.

735
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 3: Like general, all of what we grew up on it

736
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 3: from the band to danity came today twenty six.

737
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 11: That's that's what I felt.

738
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 10: So even with that era, being watchedtreating from that tour

739
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 10: was like what you're doing, Like it kind of put

740
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 10: us back in the mentally to think like, okay, cool,

741
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 10: we already knew he's coming from a television show, but

742
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 10: he even kind of stamped that more for us at

743
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 10: that moment, like damn, you really thought of it just

744
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 10: like a TV show. And the rest of his music

745
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 10: is what you're doing. But you know, you're just trying

746
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 10: to erase what we what we brought, you know. And

747
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 10: so that's why it's really strong that we're still here,

748
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 10: you know, because it's it's without no extras, you know.

749
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 10: It is because we're really passionate about what we're doing.

750
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 10: Is because we really believe, and it's because the fans

751
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 10: really receive us and and they come out.

752
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 4: And we've been people try to stop us too.

753
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 6: We didn't have some roadblocks along the way, like some

754
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 6: big opportunities that kind of just like kind of fell.

755
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 4: Through and we don't know why, you know, So that

756
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 4: kind of adversity too.

757
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, I mean, deals't really I

758
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 6: don't know if I.

759
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 10: Should really, I mean, but basically basically deals that that

760
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 10: we had that you know that we know that we

761
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 10: would actually and that you know, just magically.

762
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: Like labels, endorsements, contracts already signed and everything.

763
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 11: After after the.

764
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 10: Bad Boy, after Atlantic, we had more opportunities because people

765
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 10: saw it and they believe, like yo, y' ain't got

766
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 10: to deal. So we started having so many conversations. We

767
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 10: had situations, we was we had us situation was actually

768

Speaker 10: signed to another major and as.

769
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 11: We did like a press release to let the world

770
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 11: know the next day, the next day we have a deal.

771
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: No more.

772
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,560

774
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: Look up, you feel that everything is happening happening with

780
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 10: It's a lot of things that he's done. I mean,

781
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 10: I don't know what he really did and didn't do.

782
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

783
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: I do got to ask a question though, earlier today

784
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: we heard a guy say that did he like to

785
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: record in the shower? Like he set up equipment?

786
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: Have you lovers.

787
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: I ever recorded the shower.

788
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 8: Bathroom about that's.

789
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 13: Crazy a lot.

790
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 4: Mann. I would do about half of the stuff they said.

791
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 6: I never experienced it myself because I feel like, as

792
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 6: a grown ass man, some of the stuff you just

793
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 6: shouldn't experience anyway. And I'm a grown man. There's only

794
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 6: so much so far you can influence or push me

795
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 6: or direction.

796
00:34:59,040 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 4: I don't want to go.

797
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 9: I was from about to shoot.

798
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: And every day they said, they set up all the

799
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: equipment like show like, I think you're making this up.

800
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 2: Something.

801
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 4: Did he watched it?

802
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: I said, you said you got to show what he's

803
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: say happened in the shower.

804
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 13: I watched it.

805
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: What he said, I don't remember.

806
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 13: I did.

807
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 6: Just watch what you're talking about with Sarah Stokes and

808
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 6: all the mon that one just came.

809
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 9: Of them, but the one that just came out a

810
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 9: couple of nights ago.

811
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: I did that when it just came out.

812
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: Well, but he said recorded and did he wanted to

813
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: record in the shower because he said he got it

814
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: was a vibe in the shower.

815
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 11: That's what I'm gonna be honest recording music. Oh, I mean, I.

816
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 7: Just want to say to be very transparent with y'all,

817
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 7: like I've been through so much trauma with this guy

818
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 7: man and the whole situation, and I just want to say,

819
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 7: I think he needs a lot of prayer and he

820
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 7: needs mental health, like the things that that we can

821
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 7: relate to, you know, absolutely, I think that's what's going

822
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 7: to save him or help him nothing else. I don't

823
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 7: think we should talk about him. I don't think we

824
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 7: should make fun of him.

825
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 9: It's like real A lot of the stuff is funny, though, I'm.

826
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 2: With you onred. But the just point is it is

827
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 2: a lot of comedy, a lot of trauma.

828
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 9: You can really do laugh, just just.

829
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 4: Not all of it, all the thousands a baby, it's funny.

830
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 3: But like a lot of times, man, you see people

831
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 3: a lot of times when we talk about people's trauma,

832
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 3: it makes it feel like we're making excuses for him,

833
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: but it really is that really probably is the root

834
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 3: of all of this, you know, like hurt people, hurt people, man, But.

835
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 8: No, you you're definitely want something like you know, just

836
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 8: inform because obviously the latest documentary, which is why we

837
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,120

838
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 8: his childhood and how he may have gotten to the

839
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 8: state of where he is or where he was it

840
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 8: of a bad boything like my man know, yeah, that's what.

841
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

842
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 8: Show like you know, it's past with his mom and

843
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 8: how things that he was preview to at such a

844
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 8: young age and how it how it may have a

845
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 8: lot to do with conversations.

846
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: You don't got to answer how did how did he

847
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: traumatize you? Personally?

848
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 13: I can't talk about it right now, but you find

849
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 13: out soon.

850
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: The reason I said I do like these conversations is

851
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of young people that's trying to get

852
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: into the industry and a lot of times if we

853
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: don't tell these stories. Whether you know, people are gonna joke,

854
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: it's regardless, but a lot of times if we don't

855
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: tell these stories, people don't see it right because from

856
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: the outside, you know, we see Diddy on television a

857
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: lot and a lot of it it seems for TV,

858
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: but you guys have been traumatized by you know, and

859
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: his other members have been traumatizing if we don't a

860
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: lot of times we don't tell those stories, the next

861
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: generation of artists that's coming up have no idea why.

862
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 6: I got so much respect for the new the new

863
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 6: generation of artists because they found the way to not

864
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 6: need labels and do these things.

865
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 4: They become famous on their own.

866
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 6: Right now, bro, I guarantee you nobody can get on

00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 6: he was talking to us and stuff like that. I'm

871
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 6: not taking nothing away from ourselves. We just had respect

872
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 6: for our It was different era. These kids ain't letting

873
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 6: that happen.

874
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 8: And to the point of where Amy was saying, like, yeah,

875
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 8: it's good to tell these stories. I understand it's hard

876
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 8: for you to tell you is right now, but it's

877
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 8: good to tell him because what did you say. You

878
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 8: said you came from Germany when you got to the States.

879
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 8: That was the you wanted to be son with bad

880
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 8: because you didn't know about all that other stuff. All

881
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 8: you knew was this guy. He made this person, this person,

882
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 8: he produced this record, and he had Biggie and he

883
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 8: had you know what I'm saying.

884
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 4: So I went to you as the bad boy.

885
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 8: You know.

886
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 9: That's also why these things are important.

887
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, and is it hard right? Like you know, cut

888
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 2: it out? You had you had trauma from that.

889
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 3: Dude way before any of these allegations, right, so when

890
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 3: you got to do interviews and you know, these questions

891
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 3: are going to come up to the trigger things.

892
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 13: Honest, and he used to.

893
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 7: And my documents that I have from my mental health,

894
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 7: I have his name mentioned in there. But it used

895
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 7: to traumatize me a lot to where everybody thought something

896
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 7: was really wrong with me stuff. But I just don't

897
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 7: blame him. I'm blame people around him too, because they

898
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 7: ain't innocent either. So it's it's allowed.

899
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 10: Man.

900
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: That's the thing, like you said, enables people around him,

901
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: who are you know, whatever whatever happened, we don't know

902
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: because he's not found guilty or anything like that, but

903
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: the people around him, that's allowing it to happen. A

904
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: lot of times those people are just as guilty. You've

905
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: seen something and never said say something. Now I've seen it, Well,

906
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: how come you to say it? Then you could save

907
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: that person, help that person. So when we see things

908
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: like that, that's why I always feel like it's good

909
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: to talk about things where people understand, because a lot

910
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: of people don't understand the industry. They just see the

911
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: gold and the glisten of the cars, the mansions, the jewelry,

912
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: the clothes. They'll be like, this is what I want.

913
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: But a lot of times they don't know how that happened,

914
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: you know.

915
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 3: So when you hear the all real days and the

916
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 3: you know, the d Woods talking, how did that make

917
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 3: y'all feel?

918
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 6: I mean for me, I just said, and I really

919
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 6: didn't know, you know what I'm saying. For us to

920
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 6: be so close with them, for us to be so

921
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 6: close with them and experience so much with them, to

922
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 6: not know that they was experiencing those kind of things,

923
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 6: that kind of that was weird to me because I

924
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 6: had literally never heard nothing like that about any of

925
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 6: them while we were there. Now, we experienced some of

926
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 6: the stuff with him, you know, firing them and all

927
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 6: of that stuff, but as far as like you know,

928
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 6: the stuff that that the Woods and then we're talking

929
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 6: about like body shaming and that other things like with

930
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 6: Sarah talking about talk about it was to me, everybody,

931
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 6: that's what I'm talking about, anybody, But it was further.

932
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 6: It was further than that, like she went, like Sia

933
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 6: Stokes was talking about how he touched her in appropriately.

934
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 4: You those kind of things like that.

935
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 6: I never really experienced those and I've never seen them

936
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 6: act that kind of way.

937
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 4: But that could be their mask or their shield.

938
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 6: I'm not saying it, but I'm just saying, as they brothers,

939
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 6: they never they never disclosed those kind of things with.

940
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: Us, and the sad thing when men, but you kN

941
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 2: y'all brother was going through something.

942
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 4: Not at that time.

943
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 10: So when when he ended up coming back to the group,

944
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 10: and that's when we started to understand things was different

945
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 10: and seeing a different walk and.

946
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 2: Understand I let it.

947
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 13: I want to sing background for Dirty Month right he was.

948
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 11: On stage with them on the news at time.

949
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 6: I was like, I was looking at the news, like,

950
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 6: why is my group remember singing backgrounds?

951
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, so he stuck around a little bit longer inside

952
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 10: of that that that formula versus us leaving and doing

953
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 10: atlantic thing and trying to figure that out. So when

954
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 10: he got back, we did notice different things or whatever.

955
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 10: But yeah, he's a lot better right now, a lot better.

956
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: I would say things are changed because when men deal

957
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: with things, it's usually funny at firs, right, no matter

958
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: what it is, like, you know, I'm not putting you

959
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: stuff out there. But Charlomage talks about the time when

960
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: he was a kid. That's something happened to him. And

961
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: the first reaction when he tells that story, people laugh.

962
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 2: Sorry about you. And when Clo first taught you how

963
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: to d J, I laugh about that too.

964
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: There's nothing there.

965
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 3: When first thought about the DJ, he was standing at

966
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 3: the bus stop sucking on a lot of Popca.

967
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 11: In a nice car, and you was like, damn nothing

968
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 11: nice car.

969
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 9: And when you was little, he was around your sisters

970
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 9: in the room.

971
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, and a new audition popped up on the TV

972
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 8: and showing me was like.

973
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 9: Michael, is that nigga cute?

974
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 12: And about.

975
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 3: Sitting on Wendy Williams Black teaching you how the DJ

976
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 3: came up behind you.

977
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 2: This is a good segue to ask you all about

978
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 2: freak off.

979
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be honest, never I think the only time,

980
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 6: the only time we've got the door to a couple.

981
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 6: But we're blessed to be warned about a lot of

982
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 6: this stuff before we before we were ever an opportunity

983
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 6: off camera to be involved in it, so we already

984
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 6: knew what not to do where, you know, whatever the

985
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 6: case may be. I don't know what was exactly going

986
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 6: on in those things, but we were definitely warned not

1020
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 10: And it was it was like a Curtains day because like,

1021
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 10: you know, a lot of you know, we got a

1022

1023
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 10: you know, but at the same time, we still got

1024
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 10: our passion, we still got our voices, we still got

1027
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:16,600

1028
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 10: that's why I would saying throughout all the curses that

1029
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 10: could have been throughout the years, we ended in a

1030
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 10: blessing for sure.

1031
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 8: My last question, okay, so you got this album out now,

00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 9: And does did he recoup anything? Are no more not?

1035
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 4: Technically?

1036
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 13: Did we talk about like our publisher.

1037
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 11: Well, he still got our publishing from from those.

1038
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: He gives, didn't we got.

1039
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 11: And he can give it to us now, you know,

1040
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 11: you know, make the cause of it.

1041
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: But we do all the other money? How much?

1042
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 4: Right now? His kids got all that money. His kids

1043
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 4: name is mama.

1044
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 11: Every time I say month, I'd be like man to.

1045
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: The public, to the publisher and his kids and mom.

1046
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: But at that time when he said I was giving

1047
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: all my artists back there publishing.

1048
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,959
Speaker 9: He sat right here and said that we did.

1049
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 11: Everybody bang, Yeah, he probably did something.

1050
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 10: Then I was talking to Aurey during the time, and

1051
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 10: she was telling me a lot of things. I guess

1052
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 10: she had got off of the situation, and she was

1053
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 10: saying how it wasn't worth it anyway.

1054
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: She signed scientif.

1055
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 9: She got all day got thirty three dollars.

1056
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, how much you think it's owned out of everything?

1057
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: Because I know young you guys figured it out with

1058
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: accounts and all that.

1059
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 13: How much you did?

1060
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 11: You know what the thing is?

1061
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 10: Even off the show alone, they made millions of had

1062
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 10: to be like, you know, seventy the hundred.

1063
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 4: It was.

1064
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 11: It was just it was a lot of money. We

1065
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 11: just I mean, I don't know the exactly.

1066
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: We just is fifteen million.

1067
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 14: Oh that's what that's what they told us.

1068
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, the first album we got.

1069
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 11: We got first album.

1070
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 12: That's yeah.

1071
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 11: I got to say what you talking? I think, yeah,

1072
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 11: you what you're saying. No, that's not correct.

1073
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: It made fourteen million, that's I'm I'm like fourteen million.

1074
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 3: Fourteen We didn't go you know, did You would say

1075
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 3: we spent so much money on them, We put so

1076
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 3: much into them, and we didn't.

1077
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: Recoup back when we put in.

1078
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 6: But I would disagree because our situation was tied with

1079
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 6: MTV that was paying for so much stuff and for

1080
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 6: the on their end anyway like that. It took so

1081
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 6: much cost off a bad Boy in Atlantic that didn't

1082
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 6: make no sense. So that makes no sense. That didn't

1083
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 6: have Yes, they were, they weren't spending NOD As a

1084
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 6: matter of fact, they were getting their budget from having

1085
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 6: us own Bad Boy the sub label, you know what

1086
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 6: I'm saying. So that's impossible for that to even be

1087
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 6: business wise, y'all know business they don't go like so.

1088
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 3: Many people had their hand in the pot that probably

1089
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 3: you didn't get no money in talking about MTV bad

1090
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 3: Boy in the scope Atlantic Atlantic.

1091
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 14: Like everybody, the writers there, like everybody that signed up,

1092
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 14: like they got they rich right now, Yeah, he might

1093
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 14: have owned somebody to favor of something. They got theirs

1094
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,919
Speaker 14: out of you know, whatever it was. But we knew

1095
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 14: what it was signing into, at least I did, and

1096
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 14: we had to sign.

1097
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: So what did he change the publisher? Because it wasn't

1098
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: in his kids name at first?

1099
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 11: Right, No, it was always that was it from the jump.

1100
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: From the jump. It was from the so he already

1101
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 1: knew what which I mean, I get it.

1102
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 10: He a father and he got kids because but at

1103
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 10: the same time, don't erase money.

1104
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm a father and I got.

1105
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 12: And that's why it comes down because I'm.

1106
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 10: A father and a kid and now we want to,

1115
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,359

Speaker 6: better than mine.

1117

Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying.

1120
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 4: That's just weird. Have you even had that conversation and

1121
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 4: justify that with somebody? They're just weird?

1122
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:22,479
Speaker 8: You know, You're coming a whole different way like that.

1123
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 9: So day once he gets nothing from day.

1124
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: One is a lettable right now, all streaming platforms to

1125
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: Mirror and the exclusives. Man, they put this album together

1126
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: a Mirrors. That's my cousin back there.

1127
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 10: And I think the biggest thing about this album is

1128
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 10: the first album he was able to do with just

1129
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 10: one writer, one producer.

1130
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 11: You know, that whole type of nucleus was just us.

1131
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 10: You know It's other albums always had different producers, you know,

1132
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 10: different writers, including us, but this is right here was

1133
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 10: just one body of work, you know, one produce that

1134
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 10: whole type of feel, and it means real R and B.

1135
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 10: I think everybody will enjoy it. People have called it

1136
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 10: a classic, you know, so I'm hoping that everybody you

Speaker 2: Is my last question?

1139
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 3: Is the industry really worth your peace of mind? And

1140
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 3: if you could do it all over again, would you

1141
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 3: have taking the rock y'all took?

1142
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 7: I would say, it's not the industry, it's the people

1143
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 7: in the industry, man. So I love the industry and

1149
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,719
