Speaker 2: How was how was Keith in Harlem Man coming up?

58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 5: I mean I was, you know, a young kid, you know,

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 5: trying to figure it out like everybody else. And you know,

60
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 5: when you grow up in the hood, you try to

61
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 5: just figure it out, you know. Yeah, my mother raised

62
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 5: five kids in the project by herself, so I was

63
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 5: the youngest of the boys. So but I took the

64
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 5: approach that I wanted to take care of the family.

65
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 5: So keep growing up in Harlem was you know, I

66
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 5: got into my little little mischief things and uh, you know,

67
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 5: I had to figure out what I wanted to be

68
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 5: in life and what I wanted to be. That I

69
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 5: want to be a gangster that I want to be,

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, a nice kid, whatever I

71
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 5: wanted to be. So I had to figure all of

72
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 5: that out, you know what I'm saying. So I did

73
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 5: figure it out, you know, I mean, I you know,

74
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 5: I got myself in.

75
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 4: A little trouble.

76
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 5: And the trouble that I got myself in, which you

77
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 5: know I talk about that in my documentary, is something

78
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: that you know, kind of straightened me up.

79
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: And made me move the right way.

80
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: How did you find your voice or did you? Were

81
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: you always singing as a kid.

82
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 5: As a kid, I always watched you know, I watched

83
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 5: all the shows, soul training, all the different type of shows.

84
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: I watched them.

85
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 5: So you know, I watched the Jacksons and all the

86
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 5: people growing up, and you know I used to imitate

87
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 5: a lot of those young acts.

88
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: And you know when I realized, like.

89
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 5: I say, I was singing out the project window, and

90
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 5: you know, to some girls that because I used to

91
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 5: live on the third floor in the project, so I

92
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 5: used to be singing out the window. You're not put

93
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 5: on the dead fhonded reggit and be singing out the

94
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 5: window and go who you.

95
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: Know you saw that reaction earlier. And then my mama

96
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: came home.

97
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 5: Boy, if I hear you singing out the window again,

98
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 5: I'm whip your my eye.

99
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: So that's how, that's what that how it all started.

100
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, how do you go from singing out the

101
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: project window knowing you got a voice to going to

102
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 3: Wall Street?

103
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: Though?

104
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I mean like in life, you know,

105
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 5: in which you know a lot of your young brothers

106
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: and sisters need to take he but the heat of this, uh,

107
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 5: you know, my attitude was, you know, you have to

108
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 5: also have other things that you're doing just in case

109
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 5: the things you desired don't work out, you know, which

110
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 5: I try.

111
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 2: To teach my sons.

112
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 4: You know, Hey, you have to wear more in one hat, right.

113
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 5: So if regardless of what your dreams might be, that

114
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 5: don't mean you're going to accomplish your dreams.

115
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: So were you day trading like you were? Literally? I

116
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: was really?

117
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 5: I mean I started with Potential Bach and in the

118
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 5: stock room working with the potential base.

119
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: Then I moved up the paint to pain Webber.

120
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 5: Right, and h I met this guy who definitely took

121
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 5: an interest in me name Clyde Burrows. I still remember

122
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 5: his name, Blackbroker, and he took me under his wings,

123
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 5: and that's how it all started with me.

124
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: On on on full World Trade Center.

125
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 5: But I started with Paine Webber Potential Bach and then

126
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: went to Paint Webber and that's how that all started.

127
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: Are you doing music at the same time you going

128
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: to work? Though?

129
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 5: At the same time I was doing with this group

130
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: called Jamila Okay, and we were doing the Chitlin circuit

131
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 5: around the city. We would do places like the Mark

132
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 5: four Smallest Paradise, the Cellar staurant, which Brad Johnson owned it,

133
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, and his father, and so

134
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 5: I would do the little clubs around it.

135
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 4: It's called the Chitlin Circuit.

136
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 5: So I was doing the little clubs around that area,

137
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 5: and and pretty much that's what I was doing why

138
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 5: I was on Wall Street and then you know, because

139
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 5: I had the real passion to do music. Yeah, that's

140
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 5: what I was doing on my on the time that

141
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 5: I was off of work.

142
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: Wow, so is this funding it for you? Though? Are

143
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: you like this is working?

144
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 5: So I can well, well, doing doing the clubs was

145
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 5: more for more entertainment and.

146
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: Driving because you weren't really making no money doing that.

147
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 5: No, No, I was making like he would three through

148
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: three sets in the club and come up and do

149
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 5: one hundred dollars back in them.

150
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: Days, so thirty three dollars a set, so.

151
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 5: Basically or maybe two hundred dollars something like that. But

152
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 5: that's when you knew you loved doing what you do, right,

153
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 5: you know, because I didn't get into the game for

154
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 5: the money. I got into the game because I loved

155
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 5: doing what I loved singing. I love being on stage.

156
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 5: It had nothing to do with the money. You know,

157
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: the money just came, but because of your passion.

158
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: Because of the.

159
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: Passion, right, how long were you in the group before

160
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: you decide you want to go on your solo path?

161
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,760

Speaker 5: Was the one, you know, you know what I'm saying.

174
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 5: I wouldn't you know, they wanted me to just make

175
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 5: the group you know, one hundred percent, and he's like, yo,

00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: stock is yeah?

185
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, but and and but they wanted me. They felt

186
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 5: like my overall commitment to the group was wasn't there.

187
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 5: And then you know the person that owned Jamila and

188
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 5: that was the name of the group. Uh, the bass

189
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 5: player was the leader of the group, and his father

190
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 5: managed the group.

191
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: So you really you understand.

192
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: How that goes. Everything was tied in, tied it in.

193
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: So they decided, you know, yo, we decided you don't

194
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 5: need to be with the group.

195
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: You got kicked out. I got kicked out. Yeah, it's

196
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: all good.

197
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 5: So I got kicked out, and it devastated me to

198
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 5: the point where because that was where I picked up

199
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 5: the girls on the weekend. You know, that was your

200
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 5: new project, that was my I knew, I knew what

201
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 5: it was gonna be. Yeah, yeah, saying oh like that.

202
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 5: So I think, you know, that's how you invite people

203
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 5: to the club. Hey, hey, they come to the club,

204
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 5: I'm singing like that type of thing, right, So they

205
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 5: kicked me out the group. So when they kicked me

206
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 5: out the group, I'm a person like this and everybody know.

207
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 5: And I'm still like that to this day. Don't don't

208
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 5: don't mess with me because I'm approval point. So I say, Yo,

209
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 5: I'm approval point. I don't need you. I'm still gonna

210
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 5: hit and it's gonna be bigger than you ever thought

211
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 5: it would be.

212
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: And that's what happened.

213
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 5: So once they kicked me out of the group, it's

214
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 5: just that the gentleman just hit me and I just

215
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 5: went hard on you know, the music side.

216
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, how long did it take you to get a

217

226
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 5: Actually, I was working for Suitu Records to producing before

227
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 5: I did my own project. I had I was with

228
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 5: working with GQ. Okay, before I even you know drab

229
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 5: my project. I had worked with Raheem and GQ and

230
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 5: we did a song called My Mind Is Made Up.

231
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 5: So I was working with the organization Tony Lopez and

232
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 5: home with them before I even you know, after I

233
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 5: I left your mil I started working with GQ and

234
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 5: me and Raheem would write songs together like you know

235
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 5: which is still on the end of that.

236
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: Lucky seven and my mind is made up.

237
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 5: So and then I was writing songs, and then I

238
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: went down to Suture Records, and I was producing song

239
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 5: for you know, Sutra Records, which his Mark Adam Levey,

240
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 5: which was Mars Leevy's son. But the Fat Boys Wash

241
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 5: put the record out by this girl. I wrote this

242
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 5: record called All I Wanted my Baby by this girl

243
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 5: named Erta Gilliam. And you know, that's where everything really

244
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 5: kind of started, you know, because I started as a

245
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 5: songwriter and producer because that's what I wanted to be.

246
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 5: So that's the initial focus for you after after I,

247
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 5: you know, even though I wanted was the soul er,

248
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 5: I still was because my pen was crazy or it

249
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 5: was crazy. I knew I had to pay crazy pin.

250
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 5: I could write like who and come up with and

251
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 5: then listen to it like, oh damn, I wrote that

252
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 5: that shit hot. So that's what happened. So I started writing.

253
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 5: So what made me decide to actually be an artist

254
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 5: was when I took a song down there and Adam

255
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 5: Levy told me it wasn't a hit.

256
00:11:54,200 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: There they go again, somebody is yeah, i'ma proved my point.

257
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: So that's what happened.

258
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 5: And then I end up writing don't Stop Your Love

259
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 5: and took it down there and he said that Don't

260
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 5: Stop Your Love other than a hit because I took

261
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 5: I actually wrote don't Stop Your Love for somebody else,

262
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 5: but my voice was order that I met this girl

263
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 5: named Judy Hudson, who was who knew, you know, Vincent.

264
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 5: She said, oh my god, that record high. So when

265
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 5: I finished Don't Stop Your Love, I took it to Judy,

266
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 5: and Judy introduced me to Vincent. And that's how that

267
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: whole thing started off.

268
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: A record that someone else told you wasn't good, right,

269
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 3: that you literally wrote as a demo, so you take

270
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: it there.

271
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: They it wasn't, so I said, I'm gonna do this

272
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: join myself.

273
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 3: That in itself just shows too though, that it's subjective.

274
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: Music is subjective right certain ears. And I see a

275
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: lot of artists that have just come across just at

276
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: different times, and I'm I'll tell people when they send

277
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: me music sometimes just like if I don't hear it,

278
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: I'll tell you I don't hear it. But that don't

279
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: mean it's yeah, I just don't hear it. Because I

280
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 3: think sometimes people bank too heavy on one person's opinion,

281
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: somebody that they see in a certain light.

282
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: To me, hearing that part of it and seeing that,

283
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: that's where.

284
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: It all kicked off for you though, by literally just

285
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: being like, no, I'm just not gonna take one opinion.

286
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go see what what else this record got.

287
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: So when you take it to Vincent he hears it.

288
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 5: I'm gonna actually give the love to Judy Hudson, okay,

289
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 5: because she was the secret She was the one working

290
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 5: at Suit Record. Yo, I need to take this record

291
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 5: to somebody, this record hot. And she's the one that

292
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 5: took it to Vincent, who was who had Chelsky Love Yeah,

293
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 5: and he had he with hear him under. So yeah,

294
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 5: I already I had had that record out. So when

295
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 5: I took the Vincent, he said, yo, I won't put

296
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 5: this record out. That record hot, you know. So that's

297
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 5: how it already initially started for me.

298
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: But at this point, you don't have the album done.

299
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 4: No, At this point, no, I don't have anything done.

300
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: They gave me.

301
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 5: I got a deal with Electra Entertainment based on Don't

302
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: Stop Your Love because they wanted to do a twelve

303
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 5: inch situation with me. Yeah, because because you know, a

304
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 5: lot of people had turned me down.

305
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: They're like, all right, we'll try to sing it.

306
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 4: Because ERL.

307
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: Monroe had pretty pro records he turned me down. Yeah,

308
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 5: so I didn't.

309
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: I didn't know at a record label.

310
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, he had pretty pro records. He turned me down.

311
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 5: A lot a few people turned me down, you know.

312
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 5: So Vincent gave me the shot, and I wouldn't be

313
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 5: the keys what I am today if it wasn't for

314
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 5: that shot. Because what that shot, what he did was

315
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 5: allow me to go to certain people and say, yo,

316
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: I gotta deal. A lot of people think that I

317
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 5: wanted was the one that got the deal. No, it

318
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 5: was gonna Stop Your Love because that was the one

319
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 5: that gave me to deal with Electra and then other stuff,

320
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 5: you know, like I said, which we'll say for the documentary,

321
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 5: was the thing that allowed me to come and do

322
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 5: what I did and make.

323
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: My and be known as the keys for that I

324
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: am today.

325
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 5: And you know, like I always tell people, you know,

326
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 5: people always look at situations and say to themselves they

327
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: get mad at the record company, right. I used to

328
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 5: be mad at Bencent and Entertainment. And I was like,

329
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: hold on, wait a minute. He was the only one

330
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 5: that gave me the shot that nobody else gave a

331
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 5: lot of people forget about that. And I said, yo,

332
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 5: when everybody else turned me down, he was the one

333
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 5: that took the gamble. And as you get older, you think.

334
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: About that type of stuff, you say, hold on, wait

335
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: a minute.

336
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 5: If he hadn't gave me the shot to be who

337
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 5: I am today, he invested his time and his money.

338
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: And in the me. Yeah, and it was me.

339
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 5: And at that time, when someone does that, you have

340
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 5: to All you got to do is show and tell

341
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 5: improve that you can do. Be you and do you.

342
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Because everybody's not gonna invest

343
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: in you. Everybody's not gonna take their money and say, yo,

344
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put my money. It's like it's like it's

345
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 5: like when you go to the crap table and gamble,

346
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 5: you put your money down and seven, you can seven

347
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 5: or crap.

348
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: And whatever you do. You know, if you seven, you're good.

349
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 5: If you crap out, Hey, but you you got to

350
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 5: be strong enough to just move on.

351
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 4: Okay.

352
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: I took that rest, I took that gammel, I moved

353
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 5: on to an I'm moving on, Like everybody don't get

354
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 5: that that kind of shot.

355
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 4: You know, there's a whole lot of people.

356
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 5: That would love out here, that would love to get

357
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 5: someone to invest in the one time to show the

358
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 5: world what they got to offer.

359
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: Right, But I think that's that's super important that you

360
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: bring that up, sweat that somebody that invests in you

361
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: in the beginning. You can't forget. You can never forget that.

362
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: And I think when it when it comes to the

363
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: business side of it, right, an artist may get some

364
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: success and forget that a time.

365
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 5: Right And because you got so many people whispering in

366
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 5: your hey boom boom boom, what what they should have done?

367
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: Or what you what you could?

368
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 5: But you for are you You're not You're forgetting about

369
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 5: all the times you showed up and bagged that person.

370
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: They just give me one opportunity, Just give me one

371
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 5: when nobody else was doing it, you know what I'm saying.

372
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 5: So I had to look at that where I was concerned,

373
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 5: just like I look at that with the opportunity to

374
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 5: I have for.

375
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 4: Giving another talent.

376
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 5: It's like know the business, learn the business, understanding the business,

377
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 5: because there's so many people that don't know the being

378
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 5: and don't understand the business. And then you know, somebody

379
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 5: like myself and other people get blamed for them not

380
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 5: knowing the business or understanding the business. Nine times at

381
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 5: the tenant person to make getting money off their first album, right,

382
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 5: because you end up paying back the record company for

383
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 5: the investment because you haven't made no money for the company.

384
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 5: So everything they put out is there, so they they

385
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 5: got to recoup. They gotta be cooked. They money, right.

386
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: So I was fortunate to make money off the first

387
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 5: album because I wrote, Yeah, at least seven or eight

388
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 5: of those songs on their first album.

389
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 4: Then it hit. Then I'm a solo artist.

390
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm not.

391
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 5: I don't have four or five people won't split my

392
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 5: money with. So when they hit, I was able.

393
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: To make money on the tour because Keith.

00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 6: Sweat tell me about when it hit.

395
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: It tell me about like that the feeling because at

396
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,159

Speaker 5: coming up to the to the to the Stock Exchange.

410
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,080

Speaker 5: I never was a person that, just like to this day,

462
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 5: like just because everybody else got certain things, you know,

00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: Sweat.

474
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna put that out there. Well, that was crazy.

475
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 3: I've never seen marble wall because it's thirty five years later,

476
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 3: thirty some years. So I feel like I can do

477
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 3: that thirty some year. But it's not borrowed.

478
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: So okay, okay, speak on it that.

479
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, it's very well earned in a very long

480
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 5: period of time. And when people are counting my money,

481
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 5: they're not counting my accomplishments.

482
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

483
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 5: I do movies, executive produced record I do my own tours,

484
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 5: promote my some of them not I'm not just the artist,

485
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 5: I'm the promoter. I know some of them, right, Candle line.

486
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: Bag you know. You see I'm following suit.

487
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 5: Like so you know real estate, you know. And this

488
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: is not about me. It's about my legacy and my kids.

489
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 5: So everything you see me do ain't got nothing to

490
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 5: do with key sweat. It's about the foundation of my

491
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 5: kids and their kids and their kids' kids. So this

492
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 5: house is paid for, but where does it go if

493
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 5: I'm not here to day tomorrow?

494
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: Who does it go to?

495
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: To the kids?

496
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 5: So people don't understand. So when I do things, it's

497
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 5: not like even me going on to and working today.

498
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 5: It ain't got nothing to do with me. I've been

499
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 5: blessed to have everything somebody could ever want. So when

500
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 5: when it comes to me doing stuff, is to make

501
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 5: sure they are good and their kids kids are good,

502
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 5: and their kids kids kids are good. So you know,

503
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 5: I changed the sweat name and made it a name

504
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 5: that is it is, it's real, it's you know. Sometimes

505
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 5: I tell people when you change sometime we have a

506
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 5: curse on our name, and somebody in that family has

507
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 5: to change the direction of the family and the name

508
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 5: and the value of the name, and and and and

509
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 5: make sure. And it's about where you live, and how

510
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 5: will you treat other people when and those type of

511
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 5: things like if I'm doing something i feel somebody got

512
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 5: a crazy spirit, I won't let them in my house

513
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 5: because I'm a firm believer that spirits will jump on you.

514
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Bad spirits will jump on you.

515
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 5: So I limit myself from the people that's around my

516
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 5: kids and around me and whatever. You know what I'm saying,

517
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: I'm very funny about it. If I feel like you

518
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, you keep it from around you.

519
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 5: You don't need to be around me. That type of

520
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 5: thing and.

521
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: You have you always been that way, always just sound

522
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: like a learned thing for you over time.

523
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 4: Well, I got a prayer mom. I always had a

524
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 4: praying mom.

525
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 5: So and everything I do and everything I've done and

526
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 5: everything I do to this day is because of her

527
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 5: prayers and it and my success don't have anything to

528
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 5: do with me, and has I would a lot to

529
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 5: do with me having a praying moment, and you know

530
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 5: what was instilled in me, and I ain't got nothing

531
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 5: to do with because I'm being blessed abundantly because of

532
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 5: the things she's told me.

533
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 4: I'm a giver.

534
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 5: You know, you got people in the world that are given,

535
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 5: and you got people in the world that have taken

536
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 5: us correct.

537
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 4: And I'm a giver.

538
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 5: Some women, when I'm a get because I'm gonna give it,

539
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 5: they look at it as being a trick. No, if

540
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 5: you look like you're in a bad situation, I feel like, damn,

Speaker 5: you don't have to have me, that's.

548
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 4: The bottom line.

00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 5: But you know, in our society today and and the

550
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,119

Speaker 4: What the good people?

Speaker 5: And when I say and when I say the good girl,

556
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 5: you don't have to do what I say when I

557
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 5: say jump, I'm not talking about that. Just look in

558
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 5: the mirror at yourself and am I a good person?

559
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,040

Speaker 2: What type of what will you do?

561
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 4: And how will you do? What would what?

562
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,800

563
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 4: Like if you will go.

564
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 5: To the extreme, then something is wrong because for no

565
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 5: amount of money, am I going to the extreme?

566
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: Right?

567
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: That's just me.

568
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 3: Now, everybody's not like that. Yeah, no, I got you.

569
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: Let's get into the records. Get into some of these records.

570
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: Make your last forever. When you write a record like that,

571
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: is it a first.

572
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: Listen for you?

573
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 3: Because as a songwriter, now now we're talking about the

574
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: from the constructing of records because even that title, obviously

575
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: we're still talking about it to this day.

576
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about it forever.

577
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 3: You literally put that out in the universe, making it

578
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: last forever.

579
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: Did you come up with the title first.

580
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think yeah, because I normally come up with

581
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 5: the hook first and then build a song around the hook.

582
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't let our love in said, don't let our

583
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: love in take it last?

584
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: Fact.

585
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 5: So and then I told people every time with somebody

586
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 5: talk about it, I said, then I tell you I

587
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 5: was gonna make it last.

588
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: Fav I mean, and that's what that why you.

589
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 5: Still you're still relevant, You're still doing it. I said,

590
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 5: I told you I was gonna make it last fail. Yeah,

591
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 5: he's spoken into existing so something. And I tell people

592
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 5: be careful what you say, because some things you can

593
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 5: speak into existence.

594
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: Most things.

595
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 3: I'm a firm believer in that as well, right, Yeah, yeah, No,

596
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 3: I think artists should pay more attention to what they

597
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: rap or sing about.

598
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it will come back to bite you in

599
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 4: the ass. Yeah, want you.

600
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:05,960

Speaker 3: that add up to whatever the hell they add up to.

607
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 3: This is actually people going to the store buying these

608
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 3: records four to five million. Yeah, first album, out the gate,

609
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: out the gate. Do you get right to the next

610
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: project or do you renegotiate from a business standpoint after

611
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: you sell that many records? I'm sure listen, we talked

612
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 3: about it. The deal probably wasn't the best renegotiate. Yeah, definitely, because.

613
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,680

Speaker 3: Like, oh, hell oh, I'm getting ready to hit them

631
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 3: over the head.

632
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 5: So basically that's what happened. So after the first album,

633
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 5: everybody knew what it was for me because the world

634
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 5: knew at that point. You know, the record company was saying,

635
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 5: at that point, I proved the point, right, So because

636
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 5: you came out of nowhere right in the first and

637
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 5: I was able to produce him write the first album,

638
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 5: which was unheard of by a new artist, you know,

639
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 5: somebody who nobody ever heard.

640
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: Do you think you were afforded that because you were

641
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: already a writer just because you're small signed to a smaller.

642
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 5: Because for a boutique label, Definitely, most they just like

643
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 5: let him do a stand. And most definitely because he

644
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 5: heard that I he heard the songs I was writing,

645
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 5: So definitely, because I think if I would have just

646
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 5: signed directly, and that's what I said, God worked in

647
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 5: mysterious ways because the person that signed me was knowledgeable

648
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 5: enough and understood the game enough to say, yo, he dope,

649
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 5: let let me let him do him.

650
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

651
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 5: And if it would have been signed to directly to

652
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 5: a lecture, which what Anita Baker was on and after

653
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 5: at the time it was one by Bob krat Now,

654
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 5: I believe they would have submitted me songs and it

655
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 5: wouldn't I wouldn't.

656
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: Have been able to do the songs that I was

657
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: able to do.

658
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: And now at this point, you you had a chance

659
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 3: to prove yourself right, and you absolutely prove yourself right.

660
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: Does the business immediately become advantageous for you from a

661
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 3: business side after this first album or where you were

662
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: able to with it, It's like, okay, y'all here, I'm here.

663
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: In the beginning, did it go like here are you now? No?

664
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 5: I still had to finago. Okay, certain things I still

665
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 5: had too. You know, can he do it again?

666
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: Right?

667
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: Type of thing? Sophomore sophomore jinks? Can he do it again?

668
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 3: I say, I knew I could do it again.

669
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: And then we jump all the way into this, I'll

670
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: give all.

671
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 4: My love to you. I'll give my love to you.

672
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,480

00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:51,439

772
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,799

Speaker 3: Before I got La was like, I'm signing it now,

775
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 3: That's what happened. That's something that I wanted to highlight

776
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: to it. I you know, because I've had those conversations

777
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: about you, about being an artist who's always been willing

778
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 3: to share their life, which is rare, right, we know this,

779
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 3: And I've always had the utmost respect for you because

780
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 3: of that, because there are many artists that really want

781
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: to put other artists on like.

782
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: They may say, oh yeah, yeah, I got I'm gonna

783
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 2: start this label. We're gonna But like you were literally

784
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 2: discovering artists, what was that for you internally that said, Okay,

785
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: I gotta really reach back, because that's what it really becomes,

786
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 2: especially when you're having a success you're having. It's not like, Okay,

787
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: I'm on my last leg and I need to find

788
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 2: somebody else to get hot. You literally keep sweat.

789
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: You don't have to do these deals because we both

790
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 3: know what comes along with that. There's an added stress

791
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 3: and an added thing when you start taking on artists

792
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 3: and their lives.

793
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: So what pushed you toward that to give back?

794
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 5: Like my mother would say, you a given out of

795
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 5: taken so basically, and it also made me feel good

796
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 5: to show that I could do.

797
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 4: The same thing for myself for somebody.

798
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 5: Else, somebody else, and I could write hit records for

799
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 5: somebody else, not just for myself. Yeah, So that was

800
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 5: another type of feeling, amazing feeling for me because not

801
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 5: only I was able to do it for me, I

802
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 5: was able to do it or make somebody else dream reality.

803
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 5: So for the I mean, certain things in life make

804
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 5: me happy, not everything but certain things just me. That's

805
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 5: one of the things that made me happy to give

806
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 5: to people that may not be fortunate enough to get

807
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 5: on their own by itself, you know.

808
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 4: And you know.

809
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 5: Because like that, that's the type of fulfillment for me.

810
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 5: I mean, people don't understand that, but that fulfills certain

811
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 5: things in me and makes me feel good.

812
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 4: About me when I look in the mirror.

813
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Because you might have a

814
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 5: whole lot and nay say is saying this and saying that,

815
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 5: and it could upset you. But when you know yourself

816
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 5: that what you do and what you have done and

817
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 5: you don't have to speak about it or say I've

818
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 5: done this for you and so on, that for you

819
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 5: that's a great, amazing feeling.

820
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 4: But because people do.

821
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 3: Know absolutely absolutely, and you look at different you put

822
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 3: in a different light. When you're able to discover, develop

823
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: and and see those type of projects through where you

824
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 3: you help people become stars as well, it's just it

825
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: builds it builds everything up, right, I you know, but

826
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 3: I do, like I said, I understand that the other

827
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 3: side of you know, the pressures of it, but.

828
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 2: Where somebody else going I.

829
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 5: Used to get upset when people I put on it

830
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 5: might have said things. And then I smile, and then

831
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 5: I look at the position I'm still laying and I

832
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 5: laugh because I said, you know, God will make your

833
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 5: enemy your footstool.

834
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

835
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 5: So I said, okay, cool. If you feel I never

836
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 5: did nothing for you, I moved on. That's a battle

837
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 5: you have to fight with yourself, and you have to

838
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 5: be honest with yourself and look in the mirror with yourself.

839
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 5: And you gotta like because I always tell people there's

840
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 5: three sides to every story, mind, yours and the truth.

841
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 4: So you gotta you gotta come to a.

842
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 5: Point in your life and say, hey, dag, you know, everybody,

843
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 5: if you're a real person, you can a lot of

844
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 5: things that you do that are.

845
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: Not right will convict you.

846
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 5: You're looking at your marror, at yourself, and then we'll

00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 5: convict you for real, for real, right.

848
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: So I don't like to be convicted. So I try

849
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 2: to do the right thing.

850
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 5: So you know what other people think it's the right

851
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 5: thing or don't think it's the right thing. If I

852
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 5: feel I've done everything I could to make it right,

853
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,200

918
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,960

921
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 3: records to life. But it just feels like in the

922
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 3: beginning of everything, it starts with the song. For you,

923
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 3: you are a songwriter, right, Like we were talking about

924

933
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: You know.

934
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I if I only sing every two years,

935
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 3: I can't be putting out an entertainer.

936
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:55,160

Speaker 3: To me, they felt like a shift. It felt like

943
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 3: a shift in what you was doing musically, like this

944
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: is just me as a fan at the time, I

945
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 3: was like, oh, this is a brand new keyp sweat

946
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 3: to me?

947
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 2: Was that intentional?

948
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 5: No, it was what I felt like writing at the

949
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 5: time or the oh, I don't think. To me, it

950
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 5: was the same thing as me writing something just saying

951
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 5: right because it kind of something something that you know you.

952
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 5: So to me, it wasn't a shift. It was just,

953
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 5: you know, we in a whole nother year. Yeah, we did.

954
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 2: We in the.

955
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 5: Nineties late nineties, so it was like, Okay, what are

956
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 5: we doing now? You know what I'm saying, dude, I

957
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 5: don't want to change what people know is Keith Sweat,

958
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 5: and so I don't want to go somewhere else that

959
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 5: I never went. So I want to people love who

960
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 5: people still messing with what I've done before, So I

961
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 5: don't want to. You know the problem with most entertainers,

962
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 5: they go drastically different and people be like, what the

963
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 5: hell is he doing for me?

964
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: I don't but you got to find that happy medium

965
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 3: that I feel like you did as fine as stand current.

966
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 2: But it was still Keith Sweat absolutely well.

967
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 3: You also have a very distinctive voice like that is

968
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 3: that can never be confused.

969
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 2: It shines through.

970
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 3: I've never heard you on the song about Who's that?

971
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 2: That's what. It's no confusion about that.

972
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: And so but I think just for me sonically, you've

973
00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 3: been able to find your space in every decade, right,

974
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 3: which that is hard to do, man st down there impossible, right,

975
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 3: So to to see you being able to do that. Man,

976
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 3: it's so inspiring, like you know, sweat just really and

977
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 3: do you do you do you.

978
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 2: In staying current and standing the test of time? Do

979
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 2: you that?

980
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: Do you attribute that to just you really staying tapped

981
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: in like you know what's going on?

982
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and and I contribute that to I really

983
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 5: don't listen to radio like that because when I get

984
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 5: in the studio and and certain songs hit me or

985
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,359

988
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 5: enough to go in there and just to write based

989
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 5: on what that music says I should be writing. Yeah,

Speaker 5: Yeah, because you know, I'll go and act like somebody

Speaker 5: bought me a record and they had they was they

999
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,080

1005
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 5: So I mean, I know what, Like I can follow

1006
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 5: rhythms and patterns in and come up with the song

1007
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,759

Speaker 2: That's crazy, that is that's a gift, blessing.

1010
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, my friends went to the to the club one

1011
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 5: night and they left me in the studio and I

1012
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 5: had three tracks. They came back off. Three was done

1013
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 5: in about two two and a half hours.

1014
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: Are you still actively every day in the studio?

1015
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 4: Not actively? Every day? I get my old man's rest,

1016
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 4: did I?

1017
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 5: And then I come down and I feel like it

1018
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 5: because I can't be in the studio and like I

1019
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 5: have to mentally get myself together because I'm always on

1020
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 5: the road. Like I don't mean old man's ress, because

1021
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 5: I be in the gym running, running like a young

1022
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 5: boy and doing that type of stuff. So I just

1023
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 5: need to mentally get my head right because I wear

1024
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,080

00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 5: try to be good at all of them.

1028
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 2: It's just that sometime you have to take a break.

1029
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely, But during this time you weren't taking

1030
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 3: no breaks at all because you go from your solo

1031
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 3: project and then you say, all right, I'm gonna do.

1032

Speaker 5: Jill never went platinum before ever, and Johnny that's my boy.

1035
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 5: So I said, I want to do a group. So

1036
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 5: the record company was against it.

1037
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 3: Oh they fought that. Yeah for it, that would seem

1038
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 3: like an They fought that, and I had to fight back.

1039
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 3: So they ended up going through Electure. Yeah okay, they thought. No,

1040
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 3: they fought Electure for it.

1041
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 5: I won't you know this is this part where you

1042
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 5: say boom boom boom what you say and you won't

1043
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 5: tell the story. I'm not gonna tell it. Who ford it?

1044
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 5: They It was like, you're not doing nothing. I said,

1045
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 5: I don't you talking to like that, y'all. I'm doing this.

1046
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 5: If you don't like it, you don't like it. But

1047
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 5: I bet it happened. So you see that it happened, right.

1048
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 2: It absolutely happened. Another multiplat the Marvel.

1049
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 3: Right my body, and they tried to take dit for it,

1050
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 3: but Jell said, yo, and that was all y'all.

1051
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 4: That was Keith Sweat.

1052
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 2: I did, hey man, once again being a giver. Being

1053
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 2: a giver.

1054
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 3: But so much has been given to you for being

1055
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 3: that type of person, right, It always, it always comes back.

1056
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,959
Speaker 5: That's why I feel I'm still relevant all these years later,

1057
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 5: because God has blessed me abundantly because of the things

1058
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 5: I've done to give, because you know, I mean, and

1059
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 5: that I contributed to.

1060
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 4: Him, not nothing else but him.

1061
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 5: Now, I mean, it's like I said, it's not I

1062
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 5: can't take the credit because you know, there's a lot

1063
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 5: of people that came out when I came out that's

1064
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 5: not relevant at this point. So for him to have

1065
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 5: to make me knowledgeable and to have him still have me.

1066
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 4: Headlining after all these years, it's amazing.

1067
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,919
Speaker 3: I'm glad you mentioned that because that is something that's

1068
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 3: so important to an artist and to the longevity of

1069
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 3: an artist. What made you start really paying attention to

1070
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 3: the business of the road and touring because most artists

1071
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 3: are just like, Okay, I'm gonna get my friend in

1072
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 3: my back in there.

1073
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 2: Cool.

1074
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 3: But you started to start looking at the gate, start

1075
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 3: looking at the merch How much is this back line?

1076
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 3: Can I buy these buses? Can I buy these sprinter vans?

1077
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 3: Like what kicked in for you? Or you were just

1078
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 3: like you know what? This is now another ancillary business.

1079
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 5: For me because even at the first album, I bought

1080
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 5: my own SSL board, even after the first album, so

1081
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 5: because I felt like, if I'm gonna spend my money

1082
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 5: in studio, own it on my own, my SSL boards.

1083
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 5: So for fifty four channel in put SSL.

1084
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 2: Board, how much was that back then it was.

1085
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 5: About close to three on thousands, and put it in

1086
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 5: my house. And then that's why I did the Silk album.

1087
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 5: At my my album Matt Cut Close album.

1088
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 3: And now you're charging back the studio because now you're

1089
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 3: the studio.

1090
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I felt like I'm not going into the

1091
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 5: studio and spend that kind of money when I can

1092
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 5: put this board in my house and you know.

1093
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 3: And back then you couldn't get in the studio for

1094
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 3: less than fifteen hundred a day twenty five hundred the

1095
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 3: day South studios.

1096
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 5: I would spend all the time and then I would

1097
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 5: have the speaker come up to my bedroom and listen

1098
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 5: to the mixes.

1099
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 4: So I knew it.

1100
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 2: But the mix is gonna sound like because I had

1101
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: man put the.

1102
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 5: Speakers up in my house. So I'll tell my end

1103
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 5: of that mixed the song. Now, no turn that base

1104
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 5: to turn that base down?

1105
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 2: Are you making you're really making bedroom music? Yeah? Yeah,

1106
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: so this was this was gonna sound in your bedroom.

1107
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 2: This guy is gonna sound Yeah. So that's what I did.

1108
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 4: That's genius.

1109
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 2: That's genius.

1110
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 5: And the THESG album there I did, the old school

1111
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 5: album cut Close, Yeah I did.

1112
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 2: Then you took that same mindset to the road.

1113
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 3: Though, right, if I'm gonna be on the road, I

1114
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,439
Speaker 3: need to own these I bought.

1115
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 5: I bought that first, I bought the key Voice, and

1116
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 5: I was buying stuff like I'm a person that if

1117
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna spend money on it, I'm gonna buy it. Yeah,

1118
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 5: because like most people, right, when you don't think like that,

1119
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 5: that means you don't you're telling yourself you're not gonna

1120
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 5: be here for for a year. When you're doing things

1121
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 5: like that, you're telling yourself you're gonna be here for

1122
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 5: some time.

1123
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 2: Right, I'm gonna be able to get the use out

1124
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 2: of this.

1125
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1126
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 5: So, And I tell people, you know, it's like, if

1127
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 5: you're only thinking I want now, that means you ain't

1128
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 5: thinking about five years from now. You don't think you

1129
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 5: bought going to be here five years from now, or

1130
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 5: you don't think you're gonna be in the game five years.

1131
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 4: I man that whatever the case is.

1132
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 5: I feel like everything like me buying a red camera,

1133
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 5: me buying my lights, me doing everything I do for me,

1134
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,879
Speaker 5: it's I'm gonna get the use oude of it.

1135
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna ready for nobody else because I'm gonna

1136
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 2: end up using it more than yeah, just buying it

1137
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 2: for yourself, right, so.

1138
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 4: You might as go buy it and own it and

1139
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 4: now you're good.

1140
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 3: Why I was hounding you so much to come on

1143
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 3: you know, I feel like I'm a confident of yours

1144
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,439
Speaker 3: that you know you call me, you tell me you like, hey, Jay,

1145
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 3: pay attention to this or that. I kind of got

1146
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 3: tired of just telling people. Make keev Man. They mentioned

1147
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 3: whoever else y'all want to mention. But when I look

1148
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 3: at you, you are what it's supposed to be as

1149
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 3: an artist, businessman, business person, right Like I can look

1150
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 3: at everybody's accomplishments and yeah, that's cool, it's cool you

1151
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 3: did that. Okay, cool, cool, cool? Do you own your masters?

1152
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 3: Are you promoting your own shows? Have you figured out

1153
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 3: how to really run your own program for real?

1154
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: Right? And yes?

1155
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 3: And I think most people think, Okay, if I'm learning

1156
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 3: all those things, I don't need nobody.

1157
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 2: You don't think like that. You're like, no, no, I need

1158
00:55:59,320 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 2: the right people.

1159
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 5: But still gotta have the right team in position because

1160
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 5: at the right time you want them to do certain things.

1161
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 5: Even though I wear a bunch of hats, I still

1162
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,760
Speaker 5: have my team and I'm still the bottom.

1163
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: Line, I'm still the last say, but.

1164
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 5: You give them the opportunity to be the last thing,

1165
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 5: to see how they can move without you having to

1166
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 5: say boom boom boom boom boom.

1167
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1168
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 5: You got some people that can do that, and you've

1169
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 5: got some people that can't do that. So you have

1170
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 5: to entrust in certain people to do things and get

1171
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 5: things done because you really it's only twenty four hours

1172
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 5: in a day, and you can't do everything yourself, so

1173
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 5: you really got to, you know, confide in certain people

1174
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 5: and hope hopefully they will get certain things done. The

1175
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 5: problem with some people that go broke or whatever, they

1176
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 5: get the wrong team, or they don't they're not they

1177
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 5: don't want to know what's going on in their lane

1178
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 5: or their business, and they don't do enough research or

1179
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 5: they don't do enough finding out. Okay, house this being run,

1180
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 5: who's doing this, who's not doing this? Just like something

1181
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 5: came up, and not to mention or throw anybody under

1182
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 5: the bus. You know, I'm behind the eight ball on

1183
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 5: some things that I should have been in front of

1184
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 5: the eight ball on, you know. So my attitude is like, yo,

1185
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 5: don't let that happen again. Don't let it happen again.

1186
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 5: Because I designed my things to be on point. There's

1187
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 5: a method to my madness. Like I move in a

1188
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 5: way like, yeah, I jumped from one thing to another,

1189
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 5: but because I feel that because the one thing I

1190
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 5: jumped from was supposed to be already handled, right, So

1191
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 5: when I jump onto something else, I'm thinking like that

1192
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 5: was being handled. I wouldn't have jumped from that to

1193
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 5: that if I didn't think it was being handled.

1194
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's how I am.

1195
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 3: It's part of why you're still here. It's part of

1196
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 3: why you're still relevant. It's part of why you.

1197
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: Still printing money.

1198
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 3: People ask me, but man like gow Sweat, I said, man,

00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:14,320

00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 3: really know you in his name like.

00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 5: It's a one, right, I hope you know that. Yeah, No,

1206
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think all all of I mean,

1207
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 5: I don't think there's nobody that don't give me my

1208
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 5: props or what I deserve. And the people that don't

1209
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 5: give them to me they don't know me, or they

1210
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 5: don't know my business or and they shouldn't. You know

1211
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, because to me, I don't. I'm not

1212
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 5: trying to sell myself to people. That's not that I

1213
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 5: don't feel as relevant to my life. You know what

1214
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 5: I'm saying. I'm not trying to prove a point. If

1215
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 5: if the point hasn't been proven by now, there's nothing

1216
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 5: to prove.

1217
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm fine. I'm fine with where I am

1218
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 2: in my life.

1219
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 5: You know, one thing about in life, and I tell

1220
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 5: people you have to be happy with yourself and you

1221
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 5: and you know, everything ain't for everybody, and everybody ain't

1222
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 5: for everything. I don't need what everybody else has to

1223
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 5: make me happy.

1224
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 4: I ain't got to.

1225
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 2: Be seen here, here, here.

1226
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 5: That's why you don't see me everywhere. Because I don't

1227
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 5: want to be everywhere. I don't want to be seen everywhere.

1228
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 5: That's just not me. I'm an introvert, yeah, you know.

1229
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,919
Speaker 5: And because I'm an introvert, I'm happy with staying home

1230
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 5: watching TV or.

1231
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 2: Something like that, you know, even by myself thinking of

1232
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 2: two be because now you have movies everywhere, you know.

1233
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying, I mean, but before that, I'm

1234
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 5: I just like being in my space. And you know,

1235
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 5: because I'm gonna be honest with you to the world,

1236
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 5: I've accomplished more than I ever thought I would ever

1237
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 5: accomplish in life anyway. So at this point, I'm fine,

1238
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Because I did something that

1239
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 5: I proved the point to my mom. I was able

1240
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 5: to take care of her, so sometimes people are never

1241
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 5: satisfied and they always want more and warm right because

1242
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 5: they never satisfied. When do you become satisfied? Why is

1243
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 5: it that?

1244
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 2: So that was never your drive?

1245
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 5: Now that's never my drive because you can't take none

1246
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 5: of the shit with you.

1247
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

1248
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:36,120

01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 5: ones the younger people might know, those were the ones

1443
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,559

1444
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:21,719

1446
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:27,639
Speaker 3: Speaking of your brothers of LSG. How you feel about

1447
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,640
Speaker 3: the fact that y'all inspired TGT.

1448
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 4: I didn't even know it was that. I didn't even

1449
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 4: know TV.

1450
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 2: You knew y'all inspired TGT did. Yeah, I fired y'all

1451
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 2: that I inspired them. That's good.

1452
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 5: That's that's a blessing. Now I'm listen, let me say

1453
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:50,919
Speaker 5: this to you. There's nothing in this game or industry

1454
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 5: that hasn't been done already. It makes me feel good

1455
01:11:55,240 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 5: when people will take something that was done by someone else,

1456
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 5: especially myself, and take it and run with it, meaning

1457
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 5: that I did a good job in creating it, where

1458
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 5: they want to create something that's just as good or

1459
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 5: better from that.

1460
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:14,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1461
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 4: So I'm not mad at anything like that.

1462
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 5: I'm I'm more like appreciate, appreciative of it, you know,

1463
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 5: because it's like you're actually giving me my award and saying, yo, man,

1464
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 5: we want to do this because y'all inspired us to

1465
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 5: do this.

1466
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 3: So and even even you know, the like the shows

1467
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 3: and the tours that you've been a part of, like

1468
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 3: now seeing the R and B tour, Raymond and Brown,

1469
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean us You're and Chris how

1470
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 3: is it for you to see that happen? The two

1471
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 3: guys top of their game say, you know what, we're

1472
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 3: going to roll together.

1473
01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 4: Well, as you know, I've been trying to get brothers

1474
01:12:59,520 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 4: do that.

1475
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 2: For that's why I asked.

1476
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 4: I know it, and it's good that they could figure

1477
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 4: it out. I just wish.

1478
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 5: That some R and B artists could figure it out.

1479
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 5: And it shouldn't always be about the money. I know

1480
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:17,560
Speaker 5: it's about the money, but that's why I come in

1481
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 5: as a promoter or whatever, so I can make it

1482
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 5: where let's do it together. And that's why I say

1483
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 5: I wish more brothers would think a certain way whereas

1484
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 5: we invest in ourselves, because then you could.

1485
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 4: Do it to it like that because all the money

1486
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 4: is I was on the back end.

1487
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 2: Right.

1488
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 5: If we get more people to think like that, you'll

1489
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 5: actually make more money. You just won't get your money

1490
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 5: up front up front, and that's always the tricky part, right,

1491
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 5: But you will get your money because if you put

1492
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 5: a tour together, that's phenomenal.

1493
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 4: You're gonna win.

1494
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 5: Because I was telling them and nobody better steal my

1495
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 5: idea because I was to you, if you're still my idea,

1632
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,600
Speaker 5: that's going to be very impactful to what's going on

1633
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:26,600
Speaker 5: in the world today, because it's very important that like

1634
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:28,680
Speaker 5: back in the day when everything was going on in

1635
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 5: the wall and stuff, Marvins put the song he put

1636
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 5: out What's going on right and all that. But it

1637
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 5: just seems like there's a lot going on. But a

1638
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 5: lot of people look at us as artists. They listen

1639
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 5: to our music, but we as artists, we have a voice,

1640
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 5: and our voice is not being used in the way

1641
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 5: that it can't be used. I don't mean we need

1642
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,639
Speaker 5: to be very political on things, but there are certain

1643
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 5: things we can do and say musically that will impact

1644
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 5: people and help.

1645
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 4: People absolutely, and a lot of things are not being done.

1646
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 5: We're too busy worrying about certain other things, didn't worry

1647
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 5: about what's really going.

1648
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 4: On in the world.

1649
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 5: A lot of a lot of us are not even

1650
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 5: being not knowledgeable about what's going on because they're so

1651
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:22,719
Speaker 5: caught up in social media and looking at other things,

1652
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 5: and we're not even looking at what's going on. You

1653
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying because sometimes in life, you know,

1654
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 5: some people will dingle this in front of your face

1655
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 5: so you won't see this, and we have to learn

1656
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 5: how to look at what's real and what's not and

1657
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 5: how our focus is being taken off of this. Are

1658
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 5: they doing something by doing something completely now? Yeah, So

1659
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 5: I'm just saying that. That's why, you know, I mean,

1660
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 5: you know, but musically, you could say a lot of

1661
01:22:55,040 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 5: things that that will affect and touch people, and people

1662
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 5: will understand what you're saying because you know, that's we

1663
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 5: were all built on music.

1664
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,640
Speaker 2: That's what you ain't gonna know where without it.

1665
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 5: It's everywhere right there, you go everywhere so once we

1666
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 5: as brothers and sisters understand what we need to do

1667
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:24,560
Speaker 5: as a family, as a unit, as a whatever to

1668
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 5: change certain things in the world. We don't have to

1669
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,680
Speaker 5: beat people over the head to change the world. Sometimes

1670
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 5: things are done in a different way and can be

1671
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 5: done in a different way.

1672
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 3: That's my attitude, great attitude. How do you feel about sampling?

1673
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:42,759
Speaker 3: What's your what's your thoughts on sampling?

1674
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, as it is.

1675
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 2: Plus I'm slampling my stuff for my apple.

1676
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 4: Me the album.

1677
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 2: But are you cool with letting other people say with

1678
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 2: if people.

1679
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 5: Slam with my stuff, I want to hear what these

1680
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 5: sampling and if it's dope, I'm gonna let it go.

1681
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 5: If it ain't, they ain't gonna be it. Because everything

1682
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 5: shouldn't be sample every all. My sample should not be

1683
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:11,759
Speaker 5: on certain records because some records it's dope, some workers

1684
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 5: it's whack.

1685
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 4: And I have the right to say, right, you can't

1686
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 4: add sample my song.

1687
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 2: So have you thought about like catalog acquisitions or any

1688
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 2: of those type of things?

1689
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 3: Are you Where does your mind go when it comes

1690
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 3: to that, because that's obviously in our business now that's

1691
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 3: been a big thing over the last few years where

1692
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 3: people just like okay, twenty x fifteen x on on

1693
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 3: what the number is yearly to you know, either self

1694
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 3: piece or whole of your catalog. It depends that you

1695
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 3: got your choice to say yes or no. But if

1696
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 3: you do a catalog deal now they control that.

1697
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,640
Speaker 5: Well, it depends on where you at in your life, right.

1698
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 5: I can't talk about how people financially. A lot of

1699
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 5: people do things because that's where they at financially, so

1700
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 5: they are a lot to do with whether you can

1701
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,839
Speaker 5: hold off from doing that or whether you can. Sometimes

1702
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 5: people have to do that because that's where they are

1703
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 5: in their life, and I can't knock that because you know,

1704
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 5: you know, that's that's their idea of the option. You know,

1705
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, you know, they might have

1706
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 5: to take care of their family, or they might have

1707
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 5: loved ones they want to take.

1708
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, why they're alive or whatever the case is.

1709
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. So if you can hold

1710
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 5: on to it, fine, If you can't, I mean, you know,

1711
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 5: to each his own. That's how I feel, honestly, because

1712
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, if you build something that that's precious,

1713
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,640
Speaker 5: and I mean because everything you know, you try to

1714
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 5: build any life from having a house and the house

1715
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 5: of praising.

1716
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 4: Yeah right, that ain't no different from that.

1717
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 5: At a time if you want to sell out and

1718
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 5: sell out because you might want the money to use

1719
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:56,560
Speaker 5: it for something else or an investment, whatever the case is.

1720
