1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Every day a week up the Breakfast Club.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: Y'all done morning everybody. It's the j n V.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 3: Jess Hilarious, Charlamage, the guy we are the Breakfast Club.

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 3: Lawa roses here as well, and we got some icons legends. Today,

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, we have new addition and boys to Men.

6
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 4: They're going on tour together. I feel like this should

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 4: have been happy, right. Why did it take so long?

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 4: Who wants to start?

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 5: I think that there's a lot of logistics that go

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 5: with having two groups, two groups with such great success.

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 5: In order to get that together, scheduling has to be right. Also,

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 5: the you know what I mean, the energy has to

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 5: be right, the climate has to be right. And I

14
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 5: just believe that this is the time. God put this

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 5: time as the time to show the world what this,

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 5: this whole vibe is all about. New audition, Boys to Men,

17
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 5: Tony Box and it's a real thing. And this is

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 5: the moment God placed it right here.

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: Not his boys to Benfield.

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: I got to ask, because you guys, they were your idols,

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: right and still you seeing them? You know, when y'all

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: had to show in Philly, y'all coming to the bus

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: and y'all singing.

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 6: And.

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Well, you know that's not actually how it went, you

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. No, no, no, I don't mean to.

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 5: I don't mean to, but you know, but you know,

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 5: like in order in order for the story to to

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 5: to actually be uh told in the movies, sometimes you

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 5: have to, you know, make it all go together and sequence,

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 5: you know, for people can see this. So there's truth

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 5: to that. But it was Michael Bibbins, Ricky and and Ron.

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 5: They were actually coming off stage at the Powerhouse and

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: they were in Philly and they were introducing that you

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: guys were going to be BBD and we had just

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 5: by the time they came off stage, we had just

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 5: snuck backstage.

38
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: We passed past us back and before we got backstage,

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: and as.

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 5: Soon as we got there, they were coming off stage,

41
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 5: and I guess, uh, Nate asked Ricky can we sing

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 5: for him?

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? And Ricky was like, yeah,

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: got it tape.

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 7: Y'all?

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 5: He said yeah, yeah, got it tape. And we was like, no,

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 5: we ain't got no tape. And he was like, well,

48
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 5: y'all need a tape, you know what I'm saying. He

49
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 5: started writing down the address, but then Nate was like, yo,

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 5: let me go to BEIV. So he's like, BIV, can

51
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 5: you know, can you know, you know, can we sing

52
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 5: for you? And he was like, can y'all do it

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 5: right now? Boom we busted into can you standing right?

54
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: In? A capella? So it was backstage.

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 5: It wasn't at a tour bus, but you know what

56
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 5: I mean, the story nonetheless, it definitely resonated.

57
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: The tour bus was more exciting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

58
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: right right, there was a lot more sexy.

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 4: I do want to ask you every every artist, manager, artists,

60
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: executive relationship has its highs and lows. When you look back,

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 4: what was some of the biggest misunderstandings or lessons y'all

62
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: learned from you know, each other.

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 8: I guess you could say, like when any relationship, I

64
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 8: mean in a group, because even when BIBB signed his

65
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 8: years ago, it was almost like him being a fifth

66
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 8: member at the time, and I think it was more

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 8: like a dynamic type thing. You know, we learned a

68
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 8: lot about each other's personalities as well as just understanding,

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 8: you know, how the business went. So you know, you

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 8: had your share of highs and lows and ups and downs.

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 9: But at the end of the day. It's all about that.

72
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 9: It's better is the end of.

73
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: A thing than the beginning and the other thing.

74
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 9: Absolutely, So it's one of those things where it's like,

75
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 9: here we are, look at this. You know what I'm saying.

76
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 8: A lot of people didn't think that this, you know,

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 8: situation would even happen. But as you mentioned, yeah, poison

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 8: men owe a lot to new audition. But this is

79
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 8: what succession looks like. You understand what I'm saying.

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 9: So so it's one of those things where it's like

81
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 9: these guys did what they did, and they gave us

82
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 9: the ball and we ran with it so that now

83
00:03:59,520 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 9: we can.

84
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Rule all together. Now we can roll with it together.

85
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: How often do y'all rehearse, right, Because it's a lot

86
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: of different characters, with a lot of different families, with

87
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: a lot of different moving pieces.

88
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: But people love the old dances.

89
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: They love to see in sick, they love to see

90
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: somebody going left, somebody going right, the outfit.

91
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: So how is rehearsal for.

92
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 8: Y'all that's gonna That's that's the beautiful thing about new

93
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 8: addition in itself, Like they carried the torch of what

94
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 8: R and B groups should look like they are the standard,

95
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 8: and when it comes to this tour that we're gonna

96
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 8: show that, like, it's all gonna be implemented in the

97
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 8: in the whole production along with Tony. So it's like

98
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 8: rehearsals we haven't started yet because this is our this

99
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 8: is our first promo run.

100
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 9: So but once we do, we're gonna.

101
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 6: Lock in and it's gonna be dope. It's gonna be

102
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 6: the smartest though. He came in with the crutches because

103
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 6: he knew what was gonna happen with.

104
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: This is just prep. This is prep right here the game.

105
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying that that might be an excuse.

106
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 5: That's not right, there's an excuse right now. I get

107
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 5: through tsa quicker than y'all. Y'all, how long is the show?

108
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 5: Because you'll all have so many men individually.

109
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: As long as the show.

110
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 10: As individuals, you know, we probably give them, you know,

111
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 10: ninety minutes, maybe even two hours. But when you put

112
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 10: all of this excellence together, you know, in one night

113
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 10: on one stage, that's got to be you know, prince

114
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 10: like you know, it's almost three hours. It's got to

115
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 10: be Bull Springsteen, you know, three hours and some change

116
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 10: and I'm excited about it because how do you put

117
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 10: that in ninety minutes?

118
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 9: You can't.

119
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 10: Can't you know, when you got success in the legacy

120
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 10: that we all have and all the joints and even

121
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 10: the individuals that are you know, within this conglomerate right here,

122
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 10: I'm just excited about it. You know, we didn't start rehearsal,

123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 10: but mister Brooke Payne gave us a date for probably

124
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 10: December first, And like Sean said, when we lock in,

125
00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 10: it's going to be crazy.

126
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 11: Who chooses the track list?

127
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 9: Like?

128
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 11: Who do all just all sit together?

129
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're gonna put it all together.

130
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yea.

131
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, We're all gonna sit down and we're gonna figure

132
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 8: out how this whole thing works. Because the truth is,

133
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 8: again we are connected, we are from different cities, but

134
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 8: the story is the same. So it's gonna be deeper

135
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 8: than just doing songs. This is telling his story. Yeah,

136
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 8: this is more so and unlike any show that you've

137
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 8: ever seen, this isn't just about you know, lights and

138
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 8: cameras and all this other stuff.

139
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 9: We are literally bretering, like from beginning to end.

140
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 8: So we have to tell that story and amalgamate that

141
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 8: story to make people understand why this is important.

142
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 13: This is deeper than just a genre.

143
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 8: This is deeper than just all it's just a bunch

144
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 8: of black folks on stage, like this is history between

145
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 8: us New Edition and Tony Braxon. It's one hundred and

146
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 8: fifty million records. Got so, so the thing is is

147
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 8: that that that has to be celebrated.

148
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 9: And this is deeper.

149
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 8: This, This is why we urge everybody to come because

150
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 8: this is history. This is something you will never see

151
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 8: anywhere else in decades. So it's bigger than us.

152
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 4: Can we expound on the brotherhood you know between all

153
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 4: of y'all, man, you know, I love seeing all of

154
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: y'all together after all these years. What have y'all learned

155
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: about forgiveness and just staying together as brothers?

156
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 12: Audition and boys?

157
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Well, I could say, go ahead ahead, you said.

158
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 6: I've said before you talking about the fact that when

159
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 6: you're talking about true brotherhood, it's a real true brotherhood

160
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 6: and we're like real siblings. And I've said that that's

161
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 6: why you see, we go through our ups and downs,

162
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 6: our battles were then add some ups and downs and

163
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 6: all of the above. But at this stage of our lives,

164
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 6: when we come together man, it's like it's just nothing

165
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 6: but laughter. It's like, at this point of our lives,

166
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 6: we didn't been through a lot, and I'm sure there's

167
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 6: more to deal with as far as challenges go, but

168
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 6: we've come full circles just as grown men, just as

169
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 6: as human beings, and and we have fun when we

170
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 6: come together.

171
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, do y'all need to talk with

172
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: y'all just like, look, we brought this.

173
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: This is the deal again.

174
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 5: We this is the first time that we've even come

175
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 5: together in this circumstance, you know what I mean. Other

176
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: times it's been you know, we've been on shows with

177
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 5: with BBD, We've done a few shows with Johnny and

178
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 5: Bobby and.

179
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: You know, and we I think we did one gig

180
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: that we all were together.

181
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 5: But I feel like in order for the energy to

182
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: actually get to the place where it's supposed to be

183
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 5: something like that, a breag Bread moment has to happen.

184
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 5: You know, some things, you know, some things that we

185
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 5: might have on our hearts may need to come out,

186
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. I mean, that's that's what

187
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 5: brotherhood is about, you know. And and I'm a big

188
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 5: fan of atonement guys. You know what I'm saying, I'm

189
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 5: a big fan of of of of letting it go,

190
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 5: especially at the age that we're all at.

191
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying. I'm trying to. Yeah, man, I'm trying.

192
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to. I'm in I'm in coach mode. You

193
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm really trying to be in

194
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: coach mode. This is the time. Let's go out, let's

195
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,760

00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: on That's.

197
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 12: All in conversation like that initial conversation, but we did.

198
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 8: What he was saying was it's it's one of those

199
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 8: things where because we're on the road and because we

200
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 8: have the time, it's going to be one of those

201
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 8: organic things. We don't want to make this a melo

202
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 8: drama and it ain't no negativity, ain't no mess like like.

203
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, None of that ship excuse me,

204
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 8: none of that stuff like it. It's really just about

205
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 8: understanding how important this meant or this was, and not

206
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 8: only to the fans, but to us.

207
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 14: This is what we're doing.

208
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 8: We're celebrating, we're going to have a good time. We're

00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 8: dance our asses off. Absolutely, We're gonna give people the

211
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 8: greatest show they've ever seen in their life.

212
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: You have fun doing this, have fun doing it, That's right, Michael.

213
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 11: Anybody ever tell you that you look like Yo Gotti.

214
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 15: We took the peture together at what was that the

215
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 15: BET Awards, so there's a picture of.

216
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 13: Him and not standing side by side. It was just

217
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 13: cool to meet him too. I think he was right

218
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 13: at the beginning of him coming through the door. He

219
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 13: was hustling.

220
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 15: He was standing outside on the red cop it with

221
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 15: not no bodyguards and all that.

222
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 13: He looked like he was.

223
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 15: He had his crewel there, but he was a little

224
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 15: more loose and it was It was good. We just

225
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 15: looked at each other like okay, and we just smiled.

226
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 11: Oh, so, y'all looked like y'all could be brothers.

227
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 15: Everybody said, I think, what's one of the kids looked

228
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 15: at the TV. It was like that, and it couldn't

229
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 15: figure it out. You know, one of my kids, like

230
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 15: he looked like that. I don't know if it was

231
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 15: Shilah Starler was one of them. They was a little

232
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 15: you know, it was little. Yeah, So it was all

233
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 15: good and shout out to him. Man, hell of a CEO.

234
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: Now what do you think there's missing in the R

235
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: and B game right now? Why don't you think there's

236
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: more R and B groups?

237
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 12: They're missing us?

238
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, you know, I just think the

239
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 6: times is changed. And that's the thing that we understand

240
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 6: about time. Uh, and the world is constantly going and

241
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 6: we've seen nothing stays the same. And the part of

242
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 6: the thing is that we have to learn and have

243
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 6: the attitude and take that mindset that you know, you

244
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 6: have to learn how to work, continue to do what

245
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 6: we do in that compromise that we are, but also

246
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 6: understand where the world is and figure out how we

247
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 6: can fit in it, because well, ain't stopping.

248
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 16: For us that thinks we live in a YouTube society

249
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 16: and everybody's selfish. Nobody wants to share with their friends

250
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 16: or their brothers and their cousins. Nobody wants to make

251
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 16: a group. Everybody wants their own shit, absolutely with.

252
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Their own money.

253
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 13: Well go ahead, no, I'm not going before you.

254
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: Ian might got an R and B group and to cut.

255
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 13: Some are I was just going to make a point.

256
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 15: But if you want to jump in, jump, I was

257
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 15: gonna say, bro. Honestly, I think it started at the Recordly,

258
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 15: I think people that are hired now some of them

259
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 15: don't have an eye for talent.

260
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 13: They have an eye for their computer.

261
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 15: Sometimes you have to go in the street, like we

262
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 15: met in the street. You know, they're singing to be close,

263
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 15: and I think they look at it as the hits

264
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 15: of the computer makes them a hit group. But it's

265
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 15: so much more to it. And back in the day,

266
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 15: like for myself as the CEO, I stayed the two

267
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 15: in the morning and kept looking at the pictures, listening

268
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 15: to the music, the an R and the people at

269
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 15: the office. Now they're on the red carpet before the

270
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 15: artists get there. So the responsibility and the care the

271
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 15: detail is missing. And if someone would just slow down

272
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 15: and say, yo, how many times we gotta look at

273
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 15: the Grammys and not.

274
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 13: One R and B group is on the shove right right?

275
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 15: And the first time we see in an R and

276
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 15: B group in the last five years, well, you know,

277
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 15: we saw what Bruno on them did, but that was

278
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 15: a different thing. I'm talking about someone from the hood,

279
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 15: like a yoga signal audition boys to men. Jagged Edge

280
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 15: is when Wan Suns was on there and Jesse gave

281
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 15: them the shot. That's the first time we seen black

282
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 15: kids on the Grammys ever in a long time. And

283
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 15: that's where it starts. It starts Younger, it Scotts shot

284
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 15: at the office, or it's gonna have to come from us.

285
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 4: I don't think people are looking for talent no more.

286
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: I think they're looking for people that are just doing absolutely.

287
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: Absolutely you don't even have to have a record deal.

288
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 5: You get the numbers and then you get a record deal,

289
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. And really just understand that

290
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 5: there is a blueprint. You understand, a blueprint that we

291
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 5: followed to get to where we are.

292
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

293
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 5: There's the groups of old of our time that actually

294
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 5: helped shape the entertainment value of all of us.

295
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

296
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: So all these artists have to do is keep looking

297
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 5: at the blueprints, because the blueprints still exists. That longevity

298
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 5: just means that you did something very very right. You

299
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 5: understand and understanding behind it is. They're not looking for longevity,

300
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 5: They're looking for the quick fix. Social media is the

301
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 5: fastest way to become famous, but also the quickest way

302
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 5: to lose everything.

303
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 8: You know what I say, Like everybody's obsessed with going

304
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 8: viral and not understanding a component to the word viral

305
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 8: is virus exactly? Like why would you want to be

306
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 8: a viral? Like there's two things that happens to viruses,

307
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 8: One they get killed or it kills everything, Like why

308
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 8: would you want to why would you want to base

309
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 8: your career off of going viral?

310
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 9: Like there's there's no future in that, and that's what

311
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 9: the industry is t Sean.

312
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 15: Honestly, I would have went second on that question, but

313
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 15: I think we should ask Ralph what do.

314
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 13: He think is missing? Because let me, let me, let

315
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 13: me finish.

316
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 15: I'm gonna tell you why the responsibility of being up

317
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 15: front is even something that's in you, you're born with.

318
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 15: And I feel like that question you gotta ask yourself.

319
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 15: When he sits and watch a group of YouTube, he's

320
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 15: looking to see who reminds him of himself. He's got

321
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 15: that route treasurment. So Rizzo take the mic and tell

322
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 15: us what do you think.

323
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 13: There?

324
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 15: It is?

325
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: What was the question, what's missing in R and B?

326
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: What's missing about the group's R and B?

327
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 13: Like what's missing?

328
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 17: There's a lot missing that game. It's all changed. It's

329
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 17: not even the same place that we were in when

330
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 17: we started. So everything has changed.

331
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: R and B.

332
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 13: Man, can you hear me?

333
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry, it seems like everything has changed.

334
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 17: Man, nothing's how it used to be, you know, when

335
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 17: we're out here trying to think about something in particular

336
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 17: that can bring it back like it used to be.

337
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 17: And I don't know, I don't have no answers with

338
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 17: all that. I just feel like it's evolved.

339
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: But it's interesting even, you know, for Bible to say

340
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 4: Ralph was the lead because you were the lead technically.

341
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 12: But then Bobby went off and was a great leading man,

342
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 12: and Johnny.

343
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 4: Was a great leading man, and BBD had success like

344
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 4: all of y'all could have been a leading Now.

345
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 17: He's something about how it started all off A candy

346
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 17: girl Michael Jackson analogy. Can'dy new audition? Candy girl Jackson's

347
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 17: that vibe is what Mike's speaking on. And during that

348
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 17: time period, it wasn't a whole lot of.

349
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: Examples for us.

350
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 17: We just had what was in front of us or

351
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 17: behind us, and trying to take what we had learned

352
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 17: and make something.

353
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: New out of that.

354
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 14: Exactly.

355
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 13: It's not adding what was going on in the.

356
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: Current times, you know what the streets popping, And.

357
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 7: I just think that back when we first started, what

358
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 7: motivated us, what influenced us, the artists, you know, the Temptations,

359
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 7: Blue Magic, the Jackson's is Death, that's not the motivation today.

360
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 7: Before we even like knew anything about how to even

361
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 7: get a record deal, because that was actually the furthest thing.

362
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: From my mind.

363
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 7: There was no way that you do that to approach that.

364
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 7: So our main motivation was to how do we put

365
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 7: on a good show. And we've rehears probably for a

366
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 7: couple of years before we even stepped on the stage,

367
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 7: and we were more excited about making the crowd scream,

368
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 7: you know, than actually making a new record. And so

369
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 7: now today, like Sean said, it's the motivation is how.

370
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: Do I become famous? Not really about how do I

371
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: put on a good show.

372
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: But it has to feel good.

373
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: Like I said, viv videos of my daughter seven years

374
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: old singing new audition records, which is crazy because it's

375
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: the music is a feeling, and I feel like sometimes

376
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: you don't get that with these artists, Like music doesn't

377
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 3: last at the time that it does well, you.

378
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 9: Don't think that's a big piece of what's missing.

379
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: When I think of it, it's love.

380
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 17: Like when we came up, it was a lot of love, right,

381
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 17: And it seems like love is not a part of

382
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 17: the major the topics now.

383
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: It's not.

384
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 17: It's not about it's not even in the music. It's

385
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 17: not in the approach towards when you the passion that

386
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 17: we had.

387
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: We had love for this.

388
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 13: We wanted to do what we saw the Jackson's doing.

389
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: We really wanted to make it happen.

390
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 12: It wanted to be great.

391
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 8: The industry, the industry doesn't groom legends anymore. They don't

392
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 8: groom longevity anymore because it doesn't benefit them. Like think

393
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 8: about it, when you when you have a company and

394
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 8: you know that you can go viral with a kid

395
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 8: for fifteen minutes, get your ad revenue, and then.

396
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 9: Kick them to the side, right, and then move on

397
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 9: to the next thing. That's a good money maker to anybody.

398
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 9: I was there, you know what I'm saying.

399
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 8: And the artist suffer, yeah, but but the bottom line

400
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 8: is is that the artists suffer, but the artists still

401
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 8: have the hand. And what I mean by that is

402
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 8: a lot of the things that we don't like about

403
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 8: you know, because I'm being group chats with a lot

404
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 8: of producers and managers and stuff like that, and they

405
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 8: complain about the same thing, and my thing is change it,

406
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 8: that's all. Just change it, stop doing, stop chasing the

407
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 8: carrot like, because everybody wants to try to fit in

408
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 8: the system, knowing damn well it doesn't benefit them. So

409
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 8: the music industry isn't an industry without the music.

410
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: So change it.

411
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 9: Change the paradigm, change how music is consumed. Change you know, who.

412
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 8: Has the power to create that next thing and then

413
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 8: hold it so these industry people don't try to put

414
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 8: their grubby hands on trying to make it like a

415
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 8: you know, a viral thing or you know or whatever.

416
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 8: It's partially our fault because we fell into the whole

417
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 8: system and all we gotta do is change it.

418
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 9: Period.

419
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: Now with Bobby with so many hits, how many hits

420
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: are you going to do?

421
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: On stage?

422
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 9: Oh?

423
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: Man to the mic?

424
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: And then because that's the time where everybody could take

425
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: a break. You have so many records single like, how

426
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: are you break.

427
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: Me?

428
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 12: And break.

429
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 14: I don't, I don't know. It's up it's up to

430
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 14: Brook and it's up to you know the guys. How

431
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 14: much they want me on the stage, I don't. I

432
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 14: don't plan to do no more than the next man.

433
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: I know that.

434
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 11: Okay, So for boys and men?

435
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 18: How long did it take y'all to complete a whole

436
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 18: song in the studio? Because you when I say when

437
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 18: the song's be going off.

438
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 13: You'd be like, no, no, no.

439
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 11: I got some more.

440
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 13: Specific with it.

441
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 18: The Christmas album that I bumped all year round, christmaserversations. Wow,

442
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 18: thank you, my favorite Creciate play all year round. I

443
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 18: only did it take you all to complete a single song?

444
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you this. It took us two weeks

445
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: to do the Christmas album.

446
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 9: What that's all the time?

447
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: We had two weeks, that's all we had. And we

448
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: recorded it in Europe, London, in London, yes, with Brian McKnight.

449
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 5: We sat there because we were on tour. We were

450
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 5: on tour in London, right, we had Yeah, we had

451
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 5: to meet the deadline and we sat in there.

452
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: Of course we wrote.

453
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 5: Songs on the road, you know, like Sean would call

454
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 5: me to his room. He had joyous song. I came

455
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 5: up with why Christmas. Nate had a cold December nights,

456
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: Mike did no, No, Michael's cold December.

457
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: Nights, Nate had what was the record of Share Love,

458
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: Share Love.

459
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 5: So yeah, so the idea like literally, to to do

460
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 5: a new standard Christmas album was It was grueling because

461
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 5: we didn't have much time, but we wrote the hell

462
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 5: out of that. Like every aspect of it was straight

463
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 5: from the you know, the soul, you know what I mean.

464
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 5: It was real, real moments. So we did and we

465
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 5: didn't want to make it.

466
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: All like you know, jingle bells, you know what I mean.

467
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: We wanted to make it.

468
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 5: We wanted to make it so that so that so

469
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 5: that we could feel it, you know what I'm saying,

470
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 5: so that you could actually play that John straight.

471
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

472
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, you know, once you you know, once the

473
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 5: standards come and play, you know, of course you can

474
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 5: make choices, but when you have new Christmas records that

475
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: people fall in love with, that's the only choice.

476
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: That's why we decided not to make another one.

477
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 18: Yeah yeah, I want you please, but if y'all don't

478
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 18: need to, because that that's one of my favorite albums.

479
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate that.

480
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 11: Why did you kill give Love on Christmas Daily?

481
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 18: Because that's my favorite Christmas song, Like y'all was singing

482
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 18: these Christmas songs like women were leaving y'alls.

483
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: Because they were.

484
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 13: That's all I had to give.

485
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 14: I didn't have money back then, all I have with

486
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 14: loved offer.

487
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 19: What is it like for y'all when y'all are on

488
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 19: stages and doing the different things that y'all are doing,

489
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 19: and you run into people like Jess who are still

490
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 19: filling the music's impactfully, but also different generations and things

491
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 19: are being recreated TikTok and all these different places.

492
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 9: It's the biggest compliment ever.

493
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, the fact that these songs out are older than

494
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 8: some of our kids and people are still enjoying them,

495
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 8: and it just it is proof positive of I guess

496
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 8: the work that we put in and the type of

497
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 8: music that'll last way after we're gone Again.

498
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 9: What Ralph was.

499
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 8: Saying is we do this for the love. We did

500
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 8: it for the love, and we continue to do this

501
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 8: for the love. I mean, it's nice that we get

502
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 8: paid well for it, but ultimately, what you're going to

503
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 8: see and what people are going to witness on stage

504
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 8: is love.

505
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 13: Why we do what we do.

506
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 8: And I wanted to touch too about how the fact

507
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 8: that the industry is made not reaching back to history uncool.

508
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 8: It's like when I see a lot of young kids

509
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 8: like talking, they talk about that's that.

510
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 9: Old shit it, yeah, but that's that good ship.

511
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: You know.

512
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 8: The the reason why songs last as long as they

513
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 8: do is because it just like Ricky even mentioned, like

514
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 8: they're idols, were the Jacksons and Blue Magic and the stylistics,

515
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 8: like you got to reach back to history to understand

516
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 8: how to move forward in the future. And the bottom

517
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 8: line is that a lot of these kids don't understand

518
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 8: what was, which is why the sound of it And

519
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 8: let's be honest, because y'all radio folks, y'all know the

520
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 8: sound quality is different. Y'all know it don't hit here.

521
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 8: It's just a bunch of sonics. It's just a bunch

522
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 8: of drums and sound effects.

523
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 2: Change a lot.

524
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 3: Right when I do R and B parties, right, y'all

525
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: records ring like newer records even more to the point

526
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 3: where it's like I'm watching people do the dance and.

527
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 2: This is festival.

528
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 3: So it's like with different groups. I would say with y'all,

529
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 3: definitely Mary J. Blige, it hits different because those songs

530
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 3: keep going and these are younger kids. He could be

531
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: twenty one year olds, These could be nineteen year olds

532
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: in college when we do these parties.

533
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 2: But it's still hits that make me happy.

534
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 8: What the kids say about low frequency like a lot

535
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 8: of the songs, unfortunately not all of them, but a

536
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 8: lot of the songs have very low frequency. It's the

537
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 8: reason why these songs that we've done for the past

538
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 8: what forty years, fellas like in somemods, you know, but

539
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 8: that they still ring true because again it still has

540
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 8: that thick analog feel to it.

541
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.

542
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 18: Something right now in twenty twelve, my baby father played

543
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 18: me mister telephone man.

544
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 11: That's how I got a baby right.

545
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 14: Now, mister telephone Damn if it was that easy.

546
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 19: So you talked about you talked about the not being

547
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 19: cool to throw back to like you know, legends and

548
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 19: iconic moments and music. How much of the business has

549
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 19: made it where that's why the kids are doing that

550
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 19: and has it made it hard for you guys trying

551
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 19: to do business because of that feeling?

552
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 8: Well, first off, let me say just to answer the

553
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 8: last part, our business is doing well. And this this

554
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 8: is the crazy part too, that a lot of people

555
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 8: don't get because we're not always on the front pages

556
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 8: of certain websites and things that nature that they don't

557
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 8: think that we're doing well.

558
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 9: As you look around, you see everybody's skin glowing.

559
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: Come on.

560
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 13: On that note channel.

561
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 12: We're good. Took them and see their numbers.

562
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 8: And that's the thing is like the industry has got

563
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 8: everybody so gassed to think that, Yo, if you're not

564
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 8: on this this particular platform, then you're not doing well.

565
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 8: And again this is this is proof positive. Like we're

566
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 8: about to do Arenas thirty dates.

567
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 9: I love it, We're fine.

568
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 12: Let me.

569
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 15: Again, let me say this like honestly, Envy, it means

570
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 15: a lot to us when you're in New Orleans and

571
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 15: you make that call twenty minutes before we hit the stage,

572
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 15: sorry and say, BEV, leave me some tickets. He's always

573
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 15: in the front, singing and stepping with us, and that

574
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 15: means a lot. And I thought that was part of

575
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 15: what you asked. What do we feel when we see y'all?

576
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 15: It feels good, bro, because you're not being you know,

577
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 15: the radio guy that got young. It being someone that

578
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 15: enjoys the music. And that's probably why your tickets is

579
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 15: always there.

580
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: But this group is one that I see every time

581
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: y'all in town, every time I'm in the town, because

582
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: it gives me that feeling.

583
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: I can see you once, I can see you twice.

584
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 2: I know the dances.

585
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 9: You know.

586
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: If somebody gets hurt, I can jump in for y'all.

587
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 2: I don't think. My question is is there a song

588
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: that you guys hate to do that? Like, I just

589
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 2: don't want to do that song. Y'all looking at each other.

590
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: I know what was one.

591
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: And Still of the Night?

592
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 13: I hate that song.

593
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 5: I'll tell you why you hate it. So so, so

594
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 5: we're in Salt Lake City, were and and uh, the

595
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 5: record label. I'm sure BIF has something to do with

596
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 5: this ship the record label and was like, yo, we

597
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 5: need a record for the Jackson's Mini series, and we

598
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 5: wanted to be in Instill in the Night.

599
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 13: Now.

600
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 5: We could think of so many other records that we

601
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 5: would have been excited to do, you know what I mean,

602
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 5: But they wanted in the Still of the Night. So okay,

603
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 5: it's a very easy record, guys, you.

604
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.

605
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 5: Of course, with our harmony structures, we kind of we

606
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 5: kind of do it a little bit different because it's

607
00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 5: not the regular triad, but the issue is is nobody

608
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 5: wanted to sing the lead.

609
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 9: It was a day off weekend and we wanted to

610
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 9: go snowmobill.

611
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: Exactly right, exactly, so nobody wanted to sing the lead.

612
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: So anything right, right?

613
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 13: Right?

614
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: No, no, no, hell no, we don't want to sing

615
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: the league because it's in the other night, right. So

616
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: we flipped the coin.

617
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 5: That's how we did every That's how we That's how

618
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 5: we cleared every alter case, every situation.

619
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 9: We would just want to slip the coin and nick

620
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 9: one and we left.

621
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: We left the studio. We left his ass right there.

622
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 9: We left him and we did our parts and flipped

623
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 9: the coin.

624
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 13: And who was going to sing lead?

625
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 9: Nate one?

626
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: We love you.

627
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 16: I don't even remember, bro. I was so pissed off

628
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 16: looking out the window snow cap mountains and ship.

629
00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: Hilarious that the additions to yeah, I want to know that.

630
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, what's all y'all hate to do? I love doing

631
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 9: if it is in love, but I don't like doing it.

632
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't because it's like, by the time you finish

633
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: like this, you're like, I'm telling what you like.

634
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 12: I don't like to do the dance.

635
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 5: It's a real difficult I dig for me it would

636
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 5: probably be You're not my kind of girl.

637
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 13: What yeah, lyrics.

638
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: It leans in on the dance side. This one move

639
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: that we do what you know later on my ass.

640
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 19: Hurts dance moves in like things you're not going to

641
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 19: touch this time around one.

642
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 10: We are definitely gonna I think we do want to

643
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 10: give people a different experience. Like and B said, some

644
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 10: of the classics stuff that people have come to know

645
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 10: us for if it isn't love, maybe even you're not

646
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 10: my kind of girl. Some of those things we're gonna

647
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 10: keep in place. We might add some variances, but I

648
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 10: think people want to see us do something new and

649
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 10: fresh and different, and we're excited about the challenge of

650
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 10: coming up with those things.

651
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: For whether it's the poison.

652
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 10: Breakdown or every little step you know, where people might

653
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 10: understand in the aisles, like Mike said, they're anticipating the move,

654
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 10: but we're gonna throw a curveball this time around, and

655
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 10: that's what it's all about. I think the reason why

656
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 10: we've been able to stand the test of time for

657
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 10: forty plus years is because.

658
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: We've always challenged ourselves.

659
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 10: You know, we always really felt like we had to

660
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 10: go deep because the bar was raised for us from

661
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 10: some of the greats that we used to love to

662
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 10: see and when they poured into us, I mean Lakeside.

663
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 10: We would stand on the side of the stage every

664
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 10: night when we were on tour with them, just taking

665
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 10: that energy in. I remember time where my uncle would

666
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 10: have a sit Indian style on the floor, you know,

667
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 10: in a little meditation polls and he would play the

668
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 10: Jackson's live album and he would tell us to close

669
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 10: our eyes so we can ingest.

670
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: You know what that was.

671
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 10: And it's paid dividends. So we definitely want to give

672
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 10: people a different experience.

673
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 4: But you can't do everything that ballplayers get older, they

674
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 4: even got to adjust their game, but they.

675
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 12: Right, thank you.

676
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 9: You gotta appreciate years.

677
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: You gotta tell you gotta tell Brooke that because he

678
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: ain't trying to hear that expect that they want the

679
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 3: same look from twenty one.

680
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: He'd be like, you try, that's what you tell you.

681
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 14: Try Sometimes the Running Man just ran out.

682
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: Night, the Walking Man.

683
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: It's something that you all appreciate about each other than

684
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: now that you probably took for granted back then.

685
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 12: Matthew Ralph, Yeah.

686
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 17: I think everybody's gifts, you know, I think back then

687
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 17: we didn't realize how talented is. I don't think back

688
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 17: in the days we realized how talented everybody really was

689
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 17: and what they had to bring to the tablet had

690
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 17: to offer. When we first started, we was trying to

691
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 17: do like a mixture of the Jackson's Missed the Temptations.

692
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 1: That was our idea of us. So everybody was supposed

693
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: to have a role.

694
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 17: When we came into the Candygirl album, it was more

695
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 17: of this Jackson five ish vibe, which we would have

696
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 17: switched it out the gate. It would have came in

697
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 17: the gate a little bit more with everybody's talent talents

698
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 17: being showcased out the gate. So I think that what

699
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 17: I've learned is the brother how smart everybody is, how

700
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 17: much they actually added to the table and brought to

701
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 17: the table that you take for granted because everybody's.

702
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: Supposed to do that part, which just taught you do

703
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: your role.

704
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 17: But then you look back later on, it'say, what if

705
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 17: that he didn't know how to do that, or he

706
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 17: didn't have that GIF, this might not have worked at all.

707
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: That's what I've learned.

708
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 17: I've learned that everybody's gifted, extremely smart and knows exactly

709
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 17: what we're doing. It has gotten better over time and

710
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 17: we're really a real brotherhood.

711
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 12: What about y'all.

712
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 5: I think that in the beginning of our career, we

713
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 5: actually we were groomed, you know what I'm saying by

714
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 5: great people. We had, you know, Michael Bivens, we had

715
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 5: Kylil Rountree.

716
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: We had.

717
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,239
Speaker 5: Jerl Busby, and a lot of the things that they

718
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 5: were doing was cultivating what they already knew existed at

719
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 5: some point it Mike would tell you, you know, they

720
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 5: didn't know what to do with us because we weren't

721
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 5: doing what everybody else was doing at the time. So,

722
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 5: you know, when it came down to it, it was

723
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 5: more so, you know, knowing what we were capable of vocally,

724
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 5: because that's what the nucleus was. How good can we

725
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 5: be with our harmonies? How can we set ourselves aside

726
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 5: from the rest of the people that are singing at

727
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 5: this time? And you know, I think that that was

728
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 5: what we focused on more than anything. We didn't really

729
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 5: get into the brotherhood until I guess things started going awry,

730
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Because there's not a there's

731
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 5: there's always levels to this, you know, it's ups and down.

732
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 5: So when things started getting to a certain point, I

733
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 5: think that's when we said, Okay, now we have to

734
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 5: hold on to each other. Now we have to hold

735
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 5: on to the brotherhood. And as you can see, we're

736
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 5: lesser brother you know what I'm saying. Because when the

737
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 5: chips are down, you know, it's that's a real thing,

738
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Everybody has to stay as

739
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 5: strong as you did in the beginning when you were

740
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 5: doing it for nothing, you understand.

741
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: So that's what it is.

742
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 5: And then we just started realizing when things were at

743
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 5: a certain level that we needed each other more than anything.

744
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 5: We already knew what we were capable of, I mean,

745
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 5: and we gave each other roles all the way from

746
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 5: the beginning. I mean, there's always been the business guy,

747
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Shawn's always been kind of

748
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 5: like the the creative and the balance of it all.

749
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,479
Speaker 5: And I'm just a crazy motherfucker, you know what I'm saying,

750
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And and but them, because

751
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 5: I have a responsibility to the integrity of my group,

752
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 5: I had to.

753
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: Bring that down. And that was because I had people

754
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: like Brooke and.

755
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 5: And you know they they saw it and in their

756
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 5: in their realm, and they were like, Okay, let's let's

757
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 5: bring him in. Let's let's draw bring him back so

758
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 5: he don't end up in a in a different way,

759
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.

760
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: And and no bullcrap, I'm gonna tell you this.

761
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 5: My dude, the dude that saved my life in numerous

762
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 5: instances that he don't he.

763
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: Don't even remember. Is this guy right here you understand, yup?

764
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 12: He has.

765
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 5: And because Kyle used to say it all the time,

766
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 5: you ain't gonna be like that motherfucker remember that name,

767
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 5: I promise you, and be like that motherfucker.

768
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: I was like, but I love him, you know what

769
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying Like that, and and and and it was.

770
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 5: An unspoken connection until I met him and then he

771
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 5: literally I will tell that story another time.

772
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: But this guy right here, man has He's checked on

773
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 1: me even when like he wasn't.

774
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 5: In New addition, you know what I'm saying, he checked

775
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 5: on me, like yo, dude, you in ATL I'm like, hell, yeah,

776
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. What we're doing, you know

777
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. But that's the thought process. The thought

778
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 5: process is everybody got us to a certain point. It

779
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 5: was up to the ups and the downs, the struggles

780
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 5: to create the nucleus that boys to men is right

781
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 5: now that to know what we are all capable of,

782
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 5: and we all play our roles perfectly, which is the

783
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 5: reason why God is blessed us to be so successful

784
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 5: at this.

785
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 4: I want to go back to someone Ralph said, when

786
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 4: you talked about, you know, leaning into everybody, leaning in

787
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 4: everybody's talents earlier, when everybody broke off and had success

788
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 4: outside in the audition, did y'all ever look at each

789
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 4: other and be like, I didn't know they.

790
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 12: Could do that, Like I didn't know BBD can do that.

791
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 12: I ain't nobody told do that, not me.

792
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 17: I was just static every time something blew off, when

793
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 17: somebody was winning, I was ecstatic.

794
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: I was at home like day go.

795
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 17: That's Bobby was the dance entertainer, mastering our projects absolutely.

796
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 17: You know, when we grew up, I just knew he

797
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 17: was better than all of us at dancing and entertaining

798
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 17: and just just being live.

799
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying.

800
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: He was that dude, and so not the world.

801
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 17: The world not being able to see that as a

802
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 17: part of our group, there was a big dynamic missing

803
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 17: it so when he's when he stepped out and he

804
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 17: did it, it's like, yes, they get to see that

805
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 17: we have that in us too, because it was a

806
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 17: lot of stuff that was becoming real candy girl, real

807
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 17: them boys is real soft or this.

808
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 12: Bubble gum and we don't get bubble gum.

809
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: And so you don't you don't hate it, but you

810
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: don't like it either.

811
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 17: So having another body, and when BBD started representing and

812
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 17: Bobby started representing, Johnny's in the group. Now he's doing

813
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 17: his thing with his grown master. He's just turning everything

814
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 17: to what we I really knew what we had and

815
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 17: letting the world see it. So for me, it was

816
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 17: just finally the world's getting a chance to see what.

817
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: Were really made out of.

818
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 8: Ralph, let me let me, let me give you all

819
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 8: y'all flowers and say that this has been no group,

820
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 8: white or black, that is done what New Audition has

821
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 8: done ever, not to me, not for us. There's never

822
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 8: been a group alive, past, present, or probably future, that

823
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 8: has been a group broke up, all went platinum, came

824
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 8: back again and went platinum again.

825
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 9: Only one literally, Yeah, that's it.

826
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 8: So I just want to just put that out there,

827
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 8: like They've done something that is unprecedented, and.

828
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: The only way that that could possibly happen is if

829
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 1: we make it happen. We can help.

830
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 5: If we can help a group get to that point,

831
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 5: then that's the only way. They have to follow the blueprint.

832
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 5: If they're not going to follow the blue blueprint, then

833
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 5: it's it's not possible.

834
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 9: You can't be successful without following what we've done exactly.

835
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 11: And speaking of that, one more big boy too low time.

836
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: Yes, I love them, Thank you for them.

837
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 11: I mean, we're talk about them. Boy got the voice.

838
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. I am so ready to tap in.

839
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 5: And you know, God blessed them definitely, and they're passionate

840
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 5: about it. And with with different opportunities that come my way,

841
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 5: I'm going to definitely make sure that you know, we

842
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 5: we we tap in.

843
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: You know, Oh man, thank you so much.

844
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 10: When you think about some of the things that allow

845
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 10: you to be successful, you know is discipline, and they

846
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 10: do and they do.

847
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: On top of the discipline, you have to have consistence.

848
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely. It's something that we.

849
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 10: Had, as Rick said, early in our career before the

850
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 10: opportunity presented itself.

851
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 2: You know, we were prepared because of the consistent consistency.

852
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: Time, rehearse, rehearse, reheard.

853
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 10: We see them putting their videos out and make sure

854
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 10: that they're staying consistent, working on their craft.

855
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 13: You know that they have to have to get to.

856
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: Touch thee. Yeah, we're going to be on. We got

857
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: to definitely make oh Man.

858
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 13: Come on, you know what to Charlamagne.

859
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 15: Like, there's quiet storms in our group and you guys

860
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 15: just really get to hear the music, send the concept.

861
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 15: You don't get to get on the conference calls where

862
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 15: this shit really goes down. He don't come in the

863
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 15: dressing room where this shit really goes down. But I

864
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 15: would just say this and Rizzo, you know, he's always

865
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 15: gonna say it so eloquently because that's how he speaks.

866
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 15: But you know, Ralph's important. When he shows up to

867
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 15: do the show. It gives us a sense of strength.

868
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 15: When he walks through the door. It's like Brady coming

869
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 15: through the door.

870
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 13: Yes, it is what it is.

871
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 15: And you know when Bob is hurting or his leg

872
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 15: and he's just like, fuck it, let's go. I'll just

873
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 15: stand over here. He's like, basically, I can't do that shit,

874
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 15: but I'm gonna rock this bicrophone and that means everything

875
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 15: to the audience right when we're trying to make a decision.

876
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 15: You know, Big Bro Johnny Gill, he's he's a heavy voice.

877
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 13: In our group.

878
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 15: You know, he's a he's older, he's wiser, he's not

879
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 15: just a singer, but he's a leader by conversation, and

880
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 15: he keeps us at a high standing. Just just some

881
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 15: ship we not accepting, and that's just that. And in prayer,

882
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 15: that's mister Ricky Bell. Whenever we need to hear a

883
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 15: good kind word, he'll close the car. And that's so

884
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 15: powerful to keep us together. And of course, you know

885
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 15: Bro over there when he was speaking about the dance moves,

886
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 15: it's because he makes us reach for excellence. And that's Ronnie.

887
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 15: You know what I'm saying. When we want to just

888
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 15: go sit down and grab some water. Nah nah, let's

889
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 15: go two more times. And you see that in his

890
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 15: performance on stage. So I was just gonna say what

891
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 15: makes us tight? What Ralph said is everyone brings something

892
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 15: to the table, and I want to say it on

893
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 15: the Breakfast Club because I don't know when we'll all

894
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 15: be back here together.

895
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: Hold on, Mike, let me get you before you finish.

896
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 13: And Mike slaughter is the point. God thanks Zill.

897
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 17: He hands the ball. Everywhere he carries the ball, he

898
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 17: knows next play to make. He's thinking of the next

899
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 17: play to make, and he knows who to deliver the

900
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 17: ball to to make sure that we get we scored

901
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 17: the basket.

902
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying.

903
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: We win the game.

904
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 15: Yeah, thanks bro. And I want to say this because

905
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 15: it ain't over. But because of this guy. You know,

906
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 15: he's mature. When I met him, he was just ready

907
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 15: to sponge get all the information. But if it wasn't

908
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 15: for Nate Morris, I would have never been to CEO.

909
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 15: He's seen something in me that I didn't see it myself.

910
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 15: So I always wanted to tell him. I tell him

911
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 15: in Texas, I tell him on the phone, but I'm

912
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 15: gonna say it to the world.

913
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 13: Thank you.

914
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 15: He changed my life. He helped me see something I

915
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 15: didn't see. I was nineteen. I know my words in

916
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 15: Curson was heavy, but that's because I loved y'all and

917
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 15: I wanted y'all to be the best, and I just

918
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 15: wanted to.

919
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 13: Stop.

920
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 9: Come on, let me finish, let me finish.

921
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: What did you see what.

922
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 9: I mean?

923
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 16: I just it just seemed like from the outside looking

924
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 16: and you gotta remember we we weren't in the industry

925
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 16: at the time, but you know, from the outside looking in,

926
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 16: I saw what what Ralph just said, you know what

927
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 16: I'm saying. It just felt like he was a guy

928
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 16: that kind of held the group together. He had, you know,

929
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 16: put everybody in different positions, and at that point, I

930
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 16: felt like, you know, it's a group that we look

931
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 16: up to. I mean honestly, and I mean I've never

932
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 16: never told Mike, but I mean he did.

933
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: He was. He was my first hero in the music industry.

934
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty much what it was.

935
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 16: So for me, it was like, if if he can

936
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 16: do that for them, you got to be able to

937
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 16: do it for us.

938
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 12: And that's crazy. Like I said, I just idea.

939
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: I thought there was going to be real quick, but.

940
00:43:59,600 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 13: Be able to.

941
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 16: Here's the deal, We're gonna have our conversation. We ain't straight,

942
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 16: but we know we ain't straight, but we all know

943
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 16: we're gonna go get this money. We're gonna please these fans,

944
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 16: and we're gonna figure out what we gotta do. Either

945
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 16: we're gonna fix it or not, but we all gonna

946
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 16: go out here and do what we that's a smarter move.

947
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: Yeah.

948
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, let me ask the question, Biff, if you

949
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 4: could go back and renegotiate that first deal with boys

950
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 4: and men with everything you know, now, what would.

951
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 12: You do differently.

952
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: That's a good question. That's a good question.

953
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 15: So honestly, I think some of those deals was something

954
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 15: that Gerald suggested. See he's the one that said be

955
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 15: an executive. He said do a production, do publishing do

956
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 15: or I didn't even think like that, you know what

957
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 15: I mean? And it's the same choking. He was totally

958
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 15: against it. He didn't really like boys to men, you know,

959
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 15: so I'm fighting for them to be heard and to

960
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 15: be seen. He helps him destructure stuff, and I thought

961
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 15: that it was a it was a gamble. And the

962
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 15: thing is like, we never had a lawyer sit in

963
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 15: the room with us when we signed.

964
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: It was just us.

965
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 12: And them.

966
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, and we went through the paperwork and we just

967
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 15: did it. The good thing about it is it was successful, right,

968
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 15: and the record label, honestly, the record label needed a

969
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 15: hit to keep the lights song that we mother fucking

970
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 15: kept the light song right. We were thinking about it

971
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 15: right and then sold So to think to think the

972
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 15: thing is just even in all of that. What was

973
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 15: the easier way to do it was fifty to fifty.

974
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 15: Now remember, and their fifty is for them. In my fifty,

975
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 15: there's one. And so a lot of the stuff that might,

976
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 15: you know, look a little different later, it's through success.

977
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 13: So a lot of that stuff there.

978
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 15: Might have been the things that made it look a

979
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 15: little crazy, made it feel a little different.

980
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 13: But I was crazy.

981
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 15: Yeah, But at the end of the day, what was

982
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 15: able to come out of.

983
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 13: It and what was able to do. We didn't fail,

984
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 13: or we wouldn't be here.

985
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, Mike and the fall that was

986
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 6: Joe was your mentor. And just like what you know

987
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 6: we were talking about earlier about the other guys talking

988
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 6: about us being their mentors. And it's so funny because

989
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 6: when you influence or you're being taught the game, you're

990
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 6: rocking with the game. You're rocking with it, and you're

991
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 6: learning as you go. But I can say this in

992
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 6: a nutshell Listen, we all have been through a journey,

993
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 6: been through some ups and downs and changes and turnarounds

994
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 6: in our lives. And when you look at where we

995
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 6: are today, we're blessed. We're all blessed and guess what,

996
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 6: so what we had to go through to get here.

997
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, here, I'm not mad

998
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 6: at anybody because this is like looking at God and

999
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 6: smacking them in the face, because you're saying, I'm mad

1000
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 6: that you took me through this to get here.

1001
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 9: Towards riving today, I'm grateful.

1002
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 6: And nobody has walked the road and that has been easy,

1003
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 6: and that has been just that simple. It doesn't work

1004
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 6: like that.

1005
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree totally.

1006
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 5: I agree, Johnny, But you know, under the circumstances as

1007
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 5: human beings, you know what I mean, emotions, emotions, me

1008
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 5: and everything. As human beings, you know, you have thought process.

1009
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 5: We have to respect the human in each other because

1010
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 5: it might be easier for some people to get over

1011
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 5: things than others, you know what I'm saying. Like for me,

1012
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 5: you know, my getting over it is very simple. I

1013
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 5: was the youngest and I lived in the projects. This

1014
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 5: man saved my life. You understand, he gave me an

1015
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 5: opportunity by the grace of God. God saved my life

1016
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 5: through BIV. He gave us the opportunity. So in my mind,

1017
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 5: he did what he was supposed to do for me.

1018
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 5: It was up to me to go the next to

1019
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 5: the next place. It was up to us to do that,

1020
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 5: and we did. You know what I mean, under the

1021
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 5: circumstance of forgiveness and all of those things. A communication

1022
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 5: is everything, you know what I mean, And it does

1023
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 5: not take away from the fact that you guys are

1024
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 5: our heroes, our mentors.

1025
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: You understand that way.

1026
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 16: And again, like I said, I don't I don't speak

1027
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 16: much because I only want to speak about stuff that matters.

1028
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 16: But in this case, like I said, you know, we've

1029
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 16: been able to be where being the nucleus that we've

1030
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 16: been for the last few years, and like Wan said,

1031
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 16: we all just got into the room together for the

1032
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 16: first time in a long time. And that's the feat

1033
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 16: in itself. I would say, even with with whatever it

1034
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 16: might be, whatever will handle or deal with whatever, it's

1035
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 16: a feat in itself.

1036
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of groups.

1037
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 16: Out here today that you know, get emotional about things

1038
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 16: and don't know how to handle business correctly, right and

1039
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 16: the kids. You handle business first, and then you handle

1040
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 16: your family stuff in the back room and not on

1041
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 16: the internet in the media. So that being said, again,

1042
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 16: it ain't nothing but love in this room. Whatever else

1043
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 16: we're gonna deal with We'll deal with deal with us.

1044
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I love the fact that your guys are

1045
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 3: coming together right because you'll all had individual.

1046
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 2: Battles in the press and the public, in the croup

1047
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 2: and all that.

1048
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 3: But the fact that you look at how many you know,

1049
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 3: even rappers and R and B singers on this wall,

1050
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 3: let's no longer head you know what I mean, the

1051
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 3: fact that there'd have been so many should have or

1052
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 3: could have or dann that would have been dope. Y'all

1053
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 3: are actually pulling it off like that could have been.

1054
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 3: It's going to happen on this tour. That's why this

1055
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 3: is important to see that two amazing groups that can

1056
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 3: really sing and can dance, Well say y'all can, but

1057
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 3: singing dance to pull off this show is amazing. And

1058
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 3: it ain't a small Beacon theater. No disrespect to becing theater,

1059
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 3: y'all doing arenas So for that, we applause y'all. And

1060
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 3: I know I'm so excited to see multiple dates and

1061
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be on the side of the stage just

1062
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 3: the case one of the members ain't there.

1063
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: I know, both groups.

1064
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 3: If y'all name your uniform, because it's about to be

1065
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 3: reverse racism because I don't see that many light skin.

1066
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 12: That's why it was so successful.

1067
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: Ain't light Year?

1068
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 12: He ain't that lights Year?

1069
00:49:55,800 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 20: Ronnie, my wife says, Peanut Butter, are y'all helping bois

1070
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 20: and men develop their biopic?

1071
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 12: I remember there was rumors of a boys men bio pick.

1072
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: To see that.

1073
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 8: I mean, we're still in the embryonic stages of it,

1074
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 8: still trying to get things together because we want to

1075
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 8: make sure that the story is told the right way,

1076
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 8: because there are a lot of things that, by design,

1077
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 8: we have not said. You know, there's been a lot

1078
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 8: of things that's been mentioned about the group and said

1079
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 8: about the groups and things that nature that we just

1080
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 8: kind of watched the last thing kept quiet, you know

1081
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 8: what I'm saying, because you know, it's it's funny how

1082
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 8: certain people in the industry tend to think that they

1083
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 8: could score points on us because maybe we don't because

1084
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 8: oh Jesus Christ, I won't gonna say now, but but

1085
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 8: my point, my point is that a lot of people

1086
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,439
Speaker 8: tend to try to score points on us because we're

1087
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 8: not affiliated with a gang, or we wouldn't roll up

1088
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 8: on somebody because.

1089
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 6: We don't say that.

1090
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 8: We keep it quiet busy because and a lot of

1091
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 8: the things that that are said. It's hilarious to us,

1092
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 8: especially because when you see the people that are actually

1093
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 8: saying it, you gotta always consider the source, right, and

1094
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 8: when and when you see their positions and the lives

1095
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 8: they're living and things that nature outside of all of

1096
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 8: the shock value of oh, somebody said this, If you

1097
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 8: look a little deeper, you say, oh, okay, that's why

1098
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 8: they said that.

1099
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 13: Now.

1100
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 9: You know.

1101
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,919
Speaker 8: The thing about the industry, though, is that everybody knows

1102
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 8: everything about everybody.

1103
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: If I wanted.

1104
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 8: To come on this this radio show and talk about

1105
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 8: certain people, I know I could because I know exactly

1106
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 8: what happened, who did it?

1107
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 9: The whole nine yards.

1108
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 2: People, You.

1109
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 15: Know, is we're in the error where you could just

1110
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 15: reply with your fingers, right, say what you say. You

1111
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 15: can tell someone meet me at such and such whatever, right,

1112
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 15: But you gotta look at it this way. Within the

1113
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 15: nine of us, I'm sure all of us have been

1114
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 15: through something and learn something. And I would say this

1115
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 15: sitting next to Bob, he might have some of the

1116
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 15: toughest skin I've ever seen any individual hats and the

1117
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,439
Speaker 15: one thing I never.

1118
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 13: Seen up though, but I was gonna hold on, hold on,

1119
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 13: hold on, hold.

1120
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 15: On, this gonna say this, but I've never seen Bob

1121
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 15: really wild out the way you may say it. I'm

1122
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 15: just saying I hear people say ship to Bob to me,

1123
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 15: and I say to myself, I like the way he

1124
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 15: carries himself and sometimes you gotta pop off. But I'm

1125
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 15: just saying, the skin is deep, and we got that

1126
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 15: somebody in our group. That is what you're talking to.

1127
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 13: The ship.

1128
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 15: The ship he got to hear when he's sitting on

1129
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 15: with his kids. That ship just don't go to the soul.

1130
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 15: And as brothers, we we check somebody when we're around

1131
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 15: someone and say no, no, no, no, no no, nigga,

1132
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 15: you can't do that. We're not gonna do that, and

1133
00:52:58,480 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 15: you're supposed to do that if he.

1134
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: But see, the issue, the issue is not us though,

1135
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's the people.

1136
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. Everyone has an opinion, you

1137
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 5: know what I mean. They call it social media, but

1138
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 5: there's nothing social about it at all, you know what

1139
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 5: I mean. The thought process about it is when someone

1140
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 5: says something about you, it's fine, especially if it's true.

1141
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 5: I don't care, but I'm tired of people lying about us.

1142
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 5: They lie about us, and we never say nothing. Well,

1143
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 5: I got a messed up knee, I got three schools

1144
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 5: in it, and I'm getting myself together. Before you go there,

1145
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 5: I want to give him an example of how we

1146
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 5: don't say anything like people been talking about our fourth

1147
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 5: member forever.

1148
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 16: Oh, y'all did this to him. Y'all kicked him out,

1149
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 16: he was sick. Y'all ain't give a shit about him.

1150
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 16: Y'all don't know the story. And that's okay because we

1151
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 16: keep that in. But I tell you one thing we've

1152
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 16: never done. We've never said anything about him until the

1153
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 16: latter years, to make sure that man, if he's not

1154
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 16: here and have a.

1155
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: Career, absolutely absolutely you don't do that.

1156
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 16: So we don't.

1157
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 1: We don't do that.

1158
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 16: That's not I mean, I'm the least social media guy

1159
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 16: on the planet. Yes, yes, no need for I don't

1160
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 16: live in that space, so it's no need to go

1161
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 16: in there and deal with all the craziness. So when

1162
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 16: someone is doing that and telling stories like literally fabricated stories,

1163
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 16: I feel like it's it's just felt like time, you know,

1164
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 16: time to defend the integrity of my group of my fellas. Myself,

1165
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 16: you know what I mean. And you know, look, I'm

1166
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 16: not gonna say boys to men. We was the cleanest

1167
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 16: niggas on the planet Earth. You know what I'm saying.

1168
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 16: We did some stuff, you know what I'm saying, a

1169
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 16: lot of people.

1170
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: You know, I'm pretty sure we put some people off,

1171
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And right, but at the

1172
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: end of the day, we were trying to protect our brand.

1173
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 1: We were trying to protect it. We didn't have Michael

1174
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: bibbins on over us anymore to protect us. We didn't

1175
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: have Kyle Lil Rountree he got murdered. You know what

1176
00:54:59,120 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

1177
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 5: We were trying to figure out all kinds of things managerial.

1178
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 5: We have Michael Jackson and Prince telling us to know

1179
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 5: your worth and don't let nobody get over on you.

1180
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 5: You know, So we we developed a chip a chip.

1181
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 5: We started looking at everybody and like, oh, no, you're

1182
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 5: not going to do this to us. You're not going

1183
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 5: to do this to us. So when they hear our

1184
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 5: voices because we were so silent because everybody else was

1185
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 5: doing it for us, now we're assholes, you know, you understand,

1186
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 5: just because we're sitting in the studio and we're working

1187
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 5: on a project, does not mean that we're going to

1188
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 5: be consorting.

1189
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: That's not what boys to men do. When we're in

1190
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: the studio. We work.

1191
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 5: We don't have time to play games, you know what

1192
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,720
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Because we have a We have to please

1193
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 5: these fans, you know, So when someone is saying, you

1194
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 5: know that we said something as specific about a friend

1195
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 5: of ours, come on, and.

1196
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 19: I saw you jump in the comments of the p

1197
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 19: and say what you said. But so why now even

1198
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 19: address that if you know it's not truly because.

1199
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,959
Speaker 1: I got time. I got a messed up knee.

1200
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 13: I was sitting on the dam.

1201
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: I was sitting on the damn couch. I couldn't get up,

1202
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: I couldn't drive.

1203
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 5: I was watching cartoons and playing PlayStation and I saw

1204
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 5: that shit and I said, hmm, this will be fun.

1205
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: And guess what it was. It was very fun because

1206
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 1: I got a chance to let the people who really

1207
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: cared on that page know that it was a lie.

1208
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 13: Man.

1209
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 5: You could choose to take it wherever you want. I'm

1210
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 5: just trying to figure out where it came from. I

1211
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 5: never said anything derogatory about Chili. If you read the

1212
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 5: comments I said I love those girls, I said, we

1213
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 5: have history together. I'm just trying to figure out what happened.

1214
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,479
Speaker 5: I mean, we heard that Tian said, after the past

1215
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 5: of my thing, I ain't staying for this corny ass shit,

1216
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 5: corny ass show. That's what you know what I'm saying.

1217
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: And I'm like, why, I love you. We love y'all.

1218
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 5: Like the nostalgia when we walk into the room and

1219
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 5: they jump into our I mean, Chili used to jump

1220
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 5: into our arms.

1221
00:56:58,200 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 13: Lie, It's like, what's good.

1222
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 15: At the end of the day, we were just gonna

1223
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:06,120

00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 6: they want, ruin people's lives, ruin your reputation, they can

1240
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 6: do a number of things. It is important. No, you

1241
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,439
Speaker 6: can't fight the whole world. No, we'll never be able

1242
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 6: to change sometimes people no matter whether it's the truth

1243
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 6: or not.

1244
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 13: But when it.

1245
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 6: Comes from the horse's mouth and it's written in stone.

1246
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: It can't be raised.

1247
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 6: Can't tell you the story nothing else. At the end

1248
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 6: of the day, with your legacy, anybody want to believe,

1249
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 6: whether they want to believe, that's all. It's all well

1250
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 6: and fine, but it has come from the horses mouth

1251
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 6: directly in this.

1252
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's so so the answer. Yes, we're working on

1253
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 8: the biopic. Bib is definitely gonna put his input into it,

1254
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 8: and work is.

1255
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 5: Going to have you know what I'm saying, because it's

1256
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 5: everybody's story, everybody every it's everybody's story.

1257
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 8: But the stuff they want and everybody was touching on

1258
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 8: man and people that were saying they corny the cornball, I'm.

1259
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 11: Like, none of that ship.

1260
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: Hey, he don't Internet, he don't he internet. He on

1261
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: social media all feel I live in the real world. Yeah,

1262
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: nothing has nothing to do with me.

1263
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 16: I don't know none of those people. I tell my son,

1264
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 16: if you might just open the front door and just

1265
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 16: let everybody walk in the house.

1266
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 2: How many fights did you get into on tour when

1267
00:58:59,320 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 2: people try to play?

1268
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, because people always try to play an R and

1269
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 3: B artist like you always think of RMB artist a

1270
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 3: soft bubble.

1271
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 2: But how many times you got to throw somebody around,

1272
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 2: move some purture, you know what?

1273
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 16: They They try to talk to me like, yo, bro,

1274
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 16: it ain't worth it, you know what I'm saying.

1275
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, so, I mean it's not a lot, but.

1276
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 13: Oh it's not a lot.

1277
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, ship man, some people I think.

1278
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 17: They getting twisted this difference between R and B and

1279
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 17: some other genres.

1280
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 12: The greatest.

1281
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know why.

1282
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:43,479
Speaker 16: Because we speak peace.

1283
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: People think we can't throw.

1284
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 9: No joke the bow ties for you.

1285
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying.

1286
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 9: It's one of those things where it's like.

1287
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 8: We never had this braggadocious bravado, like you know, walking

1288
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 8: around like tough guys because we have to because we.

1289
00:59:56,280 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: Sing love songs. Why you're mad at us? We say love.

1290
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: That's how we do.

1291
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 9: Don't you don't get it twisted?

1292
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 13: And I mean, it's the shame.

1293
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 9: I think.

1294
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 16: I think it's the same vibe with new addition though,

1295
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 16: because people was like calling him you know, popcorn but

1296
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 16: you know or Parka Popcorn.

1297
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Saying I've been there, I've been there.

1298
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying.

1299
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 2: Johnny and Bobby go at people and call people like

1300
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 2: what you say about me?

1301
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 11: I'm laying.

1302
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 4: Now they used to play with Johnny.

1303
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 13: I got issues.

1304
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 6: Listen, I'll talk about God in a minute, but I'll

1305
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 6: kick your ass in the next. And then I turned

1306
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 6: around and asking for forgive this ship.

1307
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 9: Not get off, leave us issues, let us love.

1308
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 12: One last question, if the if, the.

1309
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 4: If the early nineties version of y'all could see this

1310
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 4: reunion now, I could see this tour, now, what do

1311
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 4: you think anything?

1312
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: It's long over, dude. I think it would have been different.

1313
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 8: It would have been I think it would have actually

1314
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 8: catapulted both groups to another stage because of the synergy

1315
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 8: and because of the importance of it. But again, we

1316
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 8: we we live in a God's timing, and the bottom

1317
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 8: line is it was supposed to happen now at this moment.

1318
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 8: We're older, we're wiser. We understand not just each other,

1319
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 8: but we understand each other's places in our lives. We

1320
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 8: know that by osmosis, we're connected. And again, branch, we

1321
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 8: have branded a tree.

1322
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying.

1323
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 9: And again let's let's get it twisted. We will always

1324
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 9: pay homage.

1325
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 8: To these guys, you know what I'm saying for and

1326
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 8: thankful for what these guys have done for us. And

1327
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 8: this is our way of telling that story in an

1328
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 8: entertaining way. But two and a half three hours, like

1329
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 8: Ron said, We're gonna give you guys our story and

1330
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 8: and have the best time ever.
