17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,760

18
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: that will illuminate, you know what I'm saying.

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,320

Speaker 2: of the way he made music. Was Di'angelo it wasn't

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: It's it may had some influence from other people, but

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: it came from his spirit. And it's just it's just

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: hard to imagine that the motherfucker that created.

00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 5: the technicality and the emotional aspect as well, right, someone

81
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 5: who was obsessed with with with with their not being

82
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 5: a snare that was off key, and someone who was

83
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 5: who made sure that he was going to bear his

84
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 5: soul when he sunk to you about love, about where

85
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 5: he was at, about fatherhood, about his heritage. He was

86
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 5: someone who was just, like I said, just just a

87
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 5: singular talent, knowing before him or after him like him.

88
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: What's interesting that you talk about him being a flawedss

89
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: flawless artist, and he was, and he was a flawed man,

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: and it's just like you can be imperfect and perfect

91
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: at the same time.

92
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: There's a beautiful fucking lesson in that. Yeah.

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 5: And it felt like the music was his medication in

94
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 5: the sense it was something that that he leaned on, like,

95
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 5: you know, life might be spiraling out of control, but

96
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 5: I'm still the coldest motherfucker when I step in that studio.

97
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: You know, it's you know, do you think he felt

98
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 5: that way. Do you think even I like he spoke

99
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 5: to it. He spoke to me with addiction. He spoke

100
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: to how how when he got out of rehab, the

101
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 5: first thing he did was hit the liquor store, and

102
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: how he just felt like at his lowest date, he

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 5: talked about how he.

104
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: Being the coldest motherfucker. Do you think he felt that way?

105
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 5: I think he. I think he. I think he knew

106
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 5: no one was probably doing what he was doing.

107
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't I don't think. I don't think

108
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: he was even concerned.

109
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 5: With I don't think it was from a from a competition, yeah,

110
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 5: you know, perspective. I think it was from him saying,

111
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 5: I am trying to be like the the the the

112
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 5: the once in a generation acts. I'm trying to be

113
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 5: like Prince. I'm trying to be like Slash, like Martin, right.

114
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: And you can tell from from the intention and the

115
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 5: and and the and the attention that he put into

116
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 5: his work
