I mean speaking for myself, 38 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: but um, just hearing someone of his level of fame 39 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: geek out about things like garlic and all of oil 40 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: really endearing.

Um, 47 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: and we unfortunately Lauren and I did not get to 48 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: go see Wootan Clan perform, but Andrew and Ramsey and 49 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: Kyrie did and they reported back great things, much jealousy 50 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: and food. Oh my goodness. Yes. Uh. And Rapelon is 51 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: touring himself right now, so I mean, if you're listening 52 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: to this right now, then you can perhaps go catch 53 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 1: him in your local area again, also depending on when. 54 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: Right now it is for you mysterious, mysterious, mysterious. But 55 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: I think we have set it up enough. Let's get 56 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: to the interview. Yeah, y'all throw in a barbecue here. Um, 57 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: can you talk a little bit about the food that's 58 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: being served right now? I mean I can't really tell 59 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: you what they had out there because it was something 60 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: that they already had organized. But we don't love barbecues. 61 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: We all love barbecues. I mean I was expecting, you know, 62 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: turkey franks and turkey burgers and all of that though, 63 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: But that's the kind of barbecues I like. You know, well, 64 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: you know, more traditional. This is stuff we used to 65 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: do when we as kids with our family family reunions 66 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: for the July weekends. You know, everybody would get together 67 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: and grill, and you know, grilling is a way of 68 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: bringing people together to you know, you pull a grill 69 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: out of everybody's enjoying themselves and we're eating. You know, 70 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: can you talk more about some of the foods to 71 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: eat eight when you were a kid without did you 72 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: have anything you're nostalgic for? Um? You know as a kid, 73 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: I was always inspired. And you know, my mom's view 74 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: was a cook. She's a great cook. She's been cooking 75 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: for years, cooking in the neighborhood. You know a lot 76 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: of people know they calling Miss Woods, you know, and 77 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: you know her famous thing was chicken. You know, she 78 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: made a lot of um fried chicken and cola greens 79 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: and macaroni and cheese. So I would really say that 80 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: that was my you know, my thing right there. You know, 81 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: if I could get that, I was cool. But this 82 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: is not barbecue. This is just more like one of 83 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: my top, you know, top things that we used to 84 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: eat back in the days though that we really loved. 85 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: My mom she used to put mustard in a chicken 86 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: and it was dope. Though it's kind of good though, 87 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: you know that's kind of fair now. Um, you know, 88 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: I try to eat more, a little bit more healthier 89 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: far as a lot of grilled stuff now roasted, you 90 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: know that that pretty much. Man more on my diet 91 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: these days, you know, every now and then our cheat though, 92 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: don't get me robed. Let me get some wings or something, 93 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: you know. But other than that though, today, I you know, 94 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: I do a lot of grilled foods, chicken, a lot 95 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: of salads, a lot of grain. I try to make 96 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: my plates more colorful now. They say that's important, you 97 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean, making sure your food that's colored. 98 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: So that's important though for me. Did you get interested 99 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: in cooking when you were a kid or was it? 100 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: Was it not until later when you had kids yourself? No, 101 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: I mean when I was young. My mom's you know, 102 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: she was working a lot, so she would up and 103 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: le tell us, you know, you're gonna learn how to 104 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: cook while all dot at work. So if you're hungry, 105 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: you know, and we would start off with stuff like 106 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: heating up rabbioli's you know, um, definitely, like I said, 107 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: making burgers and all of that, putting onions in it 108 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: and make it has some kind of flavor, not just 109 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: an average throw it in the pan. And you know, 110 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: she would tell us, you're a little bit of salt pepper, 111 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: and then she would say pepper rika. So I started 112 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: getting used to certain kind of flavors that she would 113 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: want to have in it. So next thing, you know, 114 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: I started making my own. I'm like, wow, yo, I'm 115 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: nice at this now, you know. And I would, um, 116 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: you know, put a lot of onions in there and 117 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: let it sim up and it wouldn't be like a frog, 118 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: but it would be more like a being cooked from 119 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: the inside. You know. The next thing, you know, I 120 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: started putting onions and onions inside my turkey meat and 121 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: making a burn.

And you know, for me to chef, 172 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: I'm always trying to give you guys a different, a 173 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: different dish every time. So yeah, I do compare my 174 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: food to my dishes, you know. But like we always said, chef, 175 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep your mouth watering with rats and with food, 176 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: of course, no doubt, no doubt. That's that's that's how, 177 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: that's how you got the nickname right, and that flavor, 178 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: that's why add that flavor. That's other stuff you're into, 179 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: like like like fashion. Do you find that in intersects 180 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: with with your music and your food as well or 181 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: I mean everything. It always been a lifestyle thing for me. 182 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: You know, when you grow up in hip hop and 183 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: you love music, R and B, reggae, so all of 184 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: that music. We grew up within the neighborhood, so it 185 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: reflects me. And when I get in the booth, you know, 186 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: I'll get it. I'll get around listening to music, you know, 187 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: beats and all that. I kind of look for those 188 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: certain things that inspired me though. So yeah, I say 189 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: that all of it, food, music, art, dancing, it's all 190 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: about it's all involved in the culture because as we 191 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: grow up as kids, these are the things that we 192 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: love to do, We love to go outside. It was 193 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: the thing that we had in our neighborhood called paul 194 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: Kill Day where you know, my neighborood is called paul 195 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: Kill and stand Alans. So once a year it would 196 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: be thinking called paul Kill Day where everybody come out. 197 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: You know, it's like a festival, a little bit of music, guys, 198 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: djen you know, and on food being served hot dogs 199 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,599 Speaker 1: and that's what I thought we was coming. We just 200 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: gonna get overhead. But the menu was kind of spicy. 201 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa hold on? You know. But um, those 202 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: little things like that always been involved in the coach 203 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: of music. So it reflects. You know, food is everything, 204 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, It's about eating good listening to good music, 205 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: and just enjoying life, you know, and that's what it's about. 206 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: That's what it's about. I read that you're you're vaguely 207 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: thinking about opening a restaurant someday. Is that still sort 208 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: of sort of in your head? Yeah? I mean, you know, 209 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: it was something I wanted to do a couple of 210 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: years back. I was just getting ready to do it, 211 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: and then kind of like some things happen and it's 212 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: kind of like I had to fall back or whatever. 213 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: But one thing about the food business is kind of 214 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: tough though. You know, it's kind of tough and you 215 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: gotta have trustworthy people around and you want to always 216 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: make sure everything is fresh. So for me, it's like 217 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: I just had to really take a step back to 218 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: really kind of evaluate what I wanted to do. But um, 219 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,599 Speaker 1: you know, you never know what the future holes, you know. 220 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: I try to get my mom's involved, like, my you're 221 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,599 Speaker 1: gonna get down with me? She like, of course, I 222 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: get down with you, you know what I mean. And 223 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: then some days she'd be like, I'm not cooking no more. 224 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: But then every year it's like, you're cooking. Stop it. 225 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: She she loves the cook though, So we never know 226 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: what the future holes though. But you never know how 227 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: your kids into cooking too. I teach them now and 228 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: tell them and say, yo, you want to eat, You're 229 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: gonna learn. You're gonna learn just like I do. But 230 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: you know, they know the basic things though, you know, 231 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: I'll kind of let them learn on their own. And 232 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, like my little one, she's nine years old though, 233 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: but she wants to do everything bake cakes and highs 234 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: and everything. So you know, I'm happy that she likes 235 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: to do it. Though you know, eventually she may want 236 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: to take this as a trade in school. You know, 237 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 1: I'll tell her, you know, calling very is it's a 238 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: dope thing, you know, But she gets this from she 239 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: get that from my mom. So that's what suck, you know, 240 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: Is there is there a meal? Is there like a 241 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: dish that's your favorite, or like a meal that's the 242 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: best you've ever had? You know? It's my favorite back 243 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: in the days, lasagna. I love lasagna. I ain't gonna 244 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: front it seems like when every time my mom's made 245 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: lasagna as a kid, I was always like she must 246 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: have been checked day for something. She must have got 247 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: a check goal, you know, worked hard and got the money, 248 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: and we always requested that. And to this day, I 249 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: love lasagna, you know what I mean. That's one of 250 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: my favorites for sure. Are you the best cut in 251 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: the weird Tank plan? Absolutely? I got to because I've 252 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: never seen never seen these mothers cook, you know what 253 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: I mean. But you know I would say that though, 254 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: because these guys aren't really cooked too off, and though 255 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: you know they more they like to eat. And then 256 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: some of them is vegetarians and they don't trust everything. 257 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: But for me, I hook up with salmon in five 258 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: minutes and you know, I see guys start looking around, Yo, 259 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: what you got? What you got going on over there? 260 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, I would definitely say the chef is definitely 261 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: the guy to look forward to when it's time to 262 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: cook in the wool, No doubt, that's a fact.
