Speaker 1: how they got together. We're gonna get through it. We're
Speaker 1: gonna ask all the questions. But in case you don't
Speaker 1: know what we're talking about, We're talking about Eric off
Speaker 1: time that's is nothing a single? The first record is Yeah,
Speaker 1: is that a single? Or is that like a warm
Speaker 1: up record that you guys are coming from? Both?
Speaker 2: Okay, first off.
Speaker 1: The record obviously reminds me of you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I remember when that record came out and I'm just
Speaker 1: listening and I'm like, it sounds so refreshing, like even
Speaker 1: though this beat has been out, but it sounds like
Speaker 1: it right now. Liked, how did you'll, y'all, y'all orchestrate that?
Speaker 4: That was really the catalyst of our working together. I think,
Speaker 4: I mean, she's Erica first of all.
Speaker 2: I I mean I was. It was ninety six, ninety seven.
Speaker 4: I was on tour with Cyprus as a roadie, just
Speaker 4: carrying records for Mugs Smoking Grooves tour and Erica was
Speaker 4: on the tour and I didn't.
Speaker 2: Know it was just a.
Speaker 4: Kid carrying records. I used to be in the crowd
Speaker 4: watching her sets every night.
Speaker 2: This was I think.
Speaker 4: Ninety seven, and I didn't even know her. I was
Speaker 4: just a fan. And so it you know.
Speaker 2: Full circle all the way, all through the years, and
Speaker 2: it was a guy by.
Speaker 4: The name Cole Chris who works in the camp with Erica.
Speaker 4: Shout out to Cole Chris. And he actually was in
Speaker 4: a group in the nineties. Are you're going to remember
Speaker 4: the group? You remember matd Flavor?
Speaker 1: Of course that's not the original a group.
Speaker 4: From the nineties show.
Speaker 2: Long story short.
Speaker 4: My first tour in ninety three with Cyprus Soul Assassin tour,
Speaker 4: the first show as the Hooligans. My first show was
Speaker 4: in Dallas. Who opened for us Mad Flavor. So I
Speaker 4: had met him in ninety three and we didn't keep touch,
Speaker 4: but it was like six years ago. I did a
Speaker 4: show in Dallas with Action. Action. Actually, yeah, backstage six
Speaker 4: years ago, you said, backstage.
Speaker 2: And I meet this dude who comes up?
Speaker 4: He said, Yo, what's up? I'm cold Chris book shows
Speaker 4: out here and I actually met a long time ago.
Speaker 2: I said, no, Matt Flavor. I said, oh shit, how
Speaker 2: you been. He says, yeah, you know, I.
Speaker 4: Work with Erica And I was like, bucket list man,
Speaker 4: like you work with Erica Badu. He said yeah, you
Speaker 4: know because he was from a part of the scene
Speaker 4: in Dallas early on, and from that moment on I
Speaker 4: connected with him and we stayed in touch, and I
Speaker 4: was just like anything, let's just stay in touch.
Speaker 1: Whatever we worked together back then, Okay, yeah, yeah, don't
Speaker 1: work No, this is the first time y'all working together period.
Speaker 5: Me and Cole Chris used to right and listen to
Speaker 5: lots of music.
Speaker 3: I'm a huge Mob Beef fan, of course, and I
Speaker 3: always wanted to sing over this the Realist and he goes,
Speaker 3: I know the guy that produces it.
Speaker 5: He goes, I say okay, and he gets in touch
Speaker 5: with you.
Speaker 3: And that was three or four years ago at least,
Speaker 3: and he just kept the conversation going. How did it
Speaker 3: by sending music every time he thought about me?
Speaker 5: And I finally got around to it.
Speaker 3: And when I wanted to record to the Realist, I
Speaker 3: went to his studio in La. When I got there,
Speaker 3: I just felt like, okay, well this is happening. So
Speaker 3: he had seen me by then about ten fifteen songs,
Speaker 3: and I told him I wouldn't come to the studio
Speaker 3: waste time if I didn't have ten or fifteen songs.
Speaker 2: So you weren't lying. It wasn't that one record was
Speaker 2: the catalystic?
Speaker 6: Was?
Speaker 2: That's right?
Speaker 5: So shout out mob Deep.
Speaker 1: Funny.
Speaker 2: Last week we had ha, it like that lazy.
Speaker 1: So when you first announced the collab album, I remember
Speaker 1: people speculating and everyone's saying Andre three thousands, and they
Speaker 1: saying Jay Electronica, and they saying all people. Everyone was
Speaker 1: kind of thrown off when it was like you and
Speaker 1: the Alchemist, if you had a chance to probably do
Speaker 1: a collab with anybody, what made you choose Alchemists?
Speaker 5: See, I wasn't trying to do a collab per se.
Speaker 3: And I didn't even know that that was like your
Speaker 3: hustle collapsed, right, you know what I'm saying. I was
Speaker 3: and super bow profession, you know, personal collab among other things.
Speaker 3: But I didn't know that. So when I got the
Speaker 3: idea to do it, it was sitting there in the
Speaker 3: in the thing in the studio, and go down, this
Speaker 3: is something we should do. A collapse. And I ain't
Speaker 3: never put nobody else's name on my ship ever.
Speaker 4: I was. I was very I mean, but you have
Speaker 4: to understand, like she and I discovered this once we
Speaker 4: started working. First of all, the first couple of days,
Speaker 4: I was kind of useless, but you know, you first
Speaker 4: meet her, I was useless because when you first meet her,
Speaker 4: everybody you know, I had to work through that first
Speaker 4: couple of days I get to know him, became friends,
Speaker 4: and but once we started working, it was like, yo,
Speaker 4: she does everything. I don't think people know this, Like
Speaker 4: her beats are insane. She basically can do everything. And
Speaker 4: we became friends quick on the way where it was
Speaker 4: like I wasn't playing her beats to sing too, I
Speaker 4: was just playing her ship like I would play evidence
Speaker 4: of one of my people, like YEO, check this beat out.
Speaker 4: We were just and that's how I discovered. I discovered
Speaker 4: how like we produced this album together. Let's just say
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put that route there right now. This album
Speaker 4: is produced by Eric and Alchemistow and she she.
Speaker 2: She had her hands.
Speaker 4: In every record, like everybody knows what I do. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna come to the table and bring the beat. But
Speaker 4: you know, if that is not where production starts, where
Speaker 4: it may started, doesn't end there. And I learned a
Speaker 4: lot working with her, just like in the early days
Speaker 4: working with Mugs when I was a kid. Working with Mugs,
Speaker 4: it was like he used to know how to like
Speaker 4: apply to shoe, string to the shoe and tie the shoe.
Speaker 4: It was like the packaging and the whole He would
Speaker 4: step back and listen to the record in the way
Speaker 4: where I wasn't paying attention producing, and she taught me
Speaker 4: a lot of that on this record, and it's a
Speaker 4: real collap.
Speaker 2: Now, is this is an album or this is a mixtape?
Speaker 2: A album? Full flood? Always okay? So all right? Well?
Speaker 1: Is it more records like that, like samples a hardcore
Speaker 1: beasts like that? And and and that's that's a beat
Speaker 1: you made correct for my originally?
Speaker 2: Yes, for mob and g rapping.
Speaker 1: So is it more of that type of stuff or.
Speaker 2: Or what is it?
Speaker 3: Well? His compositions already kind of tell a story, you know,
Speaker 3: and people are rapping over them and it's so melodic
Speaker 3: and beautiful, atmospheric without even anybody doing anything. So you
Speaker 3: already have that composition and he allowed me to paint
Speaker 3: on it, and anything that I contributed is an extension
Speaker 3: of my voice, whether it's strings or horns or drums
Speaker 3: or whatever it is. And he was a very gracious partner,
Speaker 3: like kind of okay, cool and encouraging, and I love that.
Speaker 5: More of that, but.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know both of you guys could do anything,
Speaker 7: But did you feel like you might have softened up
Speaker 7: and you might have hardened up working together.
Speaker 3: I know, I don't notice.
Speaker 5: I mean I think you see.
Speaker 4: That I learned a lot working with her in general
Speaker 4: in a short period of time, just how to like,
Speaker 4: you know, I do a lot of my own ship,
Speaker 4: run the show, you know what I mean, do everything
Speaker 4: from ages. And when I got with her, it was like, Wow,
Speaker 4: you could know so much and then you can meet
Speaker 4: someone else and realize like I'm at the age or
Speaker 4: I can still. I learned from my young homies.
Speaker 2: I learned from my older friends.
Speaker 4: I learned from people. I learned, and I realized when
Speaker 4: I linked with her that it was like okay, but
Speaker 4: I didn't change. And I think people when they hear
Speaker 4: the album, they'll see like it sounds like we met
Speaker 4: in the middle. You'll hear my shit, you'll hear her stuff,
Speaker 4: and you're real like, right now, I.
Speaker 2: Ain't gonna lot that thing.
Speaker 1: Wo sounds so good, Like I already I'm already throw
Speaker 1: the pressure on y'all. I already think y'a made the classes,
Speaker 1: like just from a single based alone, Like I know music.
Speaker 2: Bro, that ship is fire, yo.
Speaker 1: I was like, I have to keep listening to it,
Speaker 1: like because I first went out of the.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a mistake.
Speaker 1: I was like, Yo, wait a minute, this is a
Speaker 1: like I was like, Yo, did they blit this? And
Speaker 1: then they was like no, this alchemist on doing it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, holy ship.
Speaker 2: And I was just blown away. And the artwork that
Speaker 2: came out with it is well they did it.
Speaker 4: It reminded me of like the old ron G Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, and it was like an old classic with
Speaker 4: a melody on it and hip hop R and B
Speaker 4: like just so infectious like her melodies that's missing though nowadays.
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, like especially in the summertime,
Speaker 1: like to me, a single dropped at the right time.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm gonna take a shot to y'all deppinely sock it?
Speaker 2: Would you drink in the SoCon? Ever since? Yeah, that
Speaker 2: was a great turned me out, right, don't we all? So?
Speaker 1: So, how many records were you in the studio together
Speaker 1: on this?
Speaker 8: All?
Speaker 3: All of them? All?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: We went back and forth between his studio in l
Speaker 3: A and my studio and Dallas, Okay, and we put
Speaker 3: a long time periods in yeah, like I'm sure three
Speaker 3: four months here.
Speaker 4: It's a it's a different process because I'm kind of
Speaker 4: used to going fast and working with her is like stages.
Speaker 4: These records grew like the demos, and in the beginning
Speaker 4: we would lace. She would lay something and I'd be like,
Speaker 4: that's perfect. Let me okay, I got it, let me
Speaker 4: just mix it. She was like, slow, now, this is
Speaker 4: a reference. But it was the references, like her demos
Speaker 4: are gold. You hear the you hear the potential. But
Speaker 4: as I was patient, she just made them better and better,
Speaker 4: and she just kept adding touches and like turning them
Speaker 4: into something magical. So I had to learn how to
Speaker 4: like get out of her way, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: like respectfully, like let me get out of the way
Speaker 4: and support her and all her ideas because they all
Speaker 4: work and I'm seeing it.
Speaker 1: We know you did collab appums before. Is this your
Speaker 1: first R and B collab?
Speaker 4: Am I R and B I you know, like I
Speaker 4: mean this is the first like non like.
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with RB.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I mean, this is definitely the first non wrap.
Speaker 4: Like I was other for a while, I wanted to
Speaker 4: do something like this, and I would have probably been
Speaker 4: happy just meeting an unknown young artist or who has
Speaker 4: pain and smoked cigarettes in their voice. You know, I
Speaker 4: never imagined that I would be able to connect with Erica.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 2: One song one you know, in the fact that we
Speaker 2: got to this point. Now we're on tour, like we're joints,
Speaker 2: are on the project seventeen.
Speaker 4: Got a show tomorrow here, Yeah, we have a show
Speaker 4: and we've we've been performed the album basically.
Speaker 5: Last week out here.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh last week she's ahead.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: Let me take a shot to that, old boy.
Speaker 7: So how's that reception been to an album people are
Speaker 7: just hearing for the first time.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's crazy because I wouldn't have I
Speaker 4: wouldn't have done it. You know, I wouldn't have thought
Speaker 4: to do this. You've never done something like with y'all seen. Okay,
Speaker 4: y'all seen this year. Yes, we have a project and
Speaker 4: we went and did a sold out show in Paris
Speaker 4: and we played out from start to finish.
Speaker 2: The new album.
Speaker 4: And yeah, this was id that Eric also had that
Speaker 4: we were like talking about. And shoot, I was kind
Speaker 4: of nervous because you know, when you do unrelated I.
Speaker 3: Just think y'all seen in are some kind of suit
Speaker 3: solo twins. We always think of the same thing m
Speaker 3: same time.
Speaker 4: Yes shouts y'all seen when the family member you know
Speaker 4: what I mean?
Speaker 1: And you've got an album coming out with ghost Space too.
Speaker 2: No, no, that was a rumor, probably a rumor. I
Speaker 2: have album, y'all seen.
Speaker 4: We have a we have a collective called Forensics, and
Speaker 4: that's gonna be coming out soon as well. But just
Speaker 4: the live like, you know, just to say you know,
Speaker 4: you know this. You know when you perform of course
Speaker 4: and you get to your hits, it's always easy because
Speaker 4: the crowd, you know, you think got them in a
Speaker 4: part of your hand. So when she said we wanted
Speaker 4: she wanted to do the whole album live, I was
Speaker 4: kind of nervous.
Speaker 1: Are y'all recording the album live? Like, oh no, it's
Speaker 1: just just uh we.
Speaker 3: Recorded shows, okay, cool, just in case.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's been amazing and it's crazy to see
Speaker 4: like a whole crowd of people.
Speaker 2: Mind you were no phones, no phones.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 2: I wish we could do this for every show.
Speaker 3: And fresh Head they can't bring equipment either. They have
Speaker 3: to use disposable cameras that we provide.
Speaker 1: So that's awesome.
Speaker 3: It's fun. Who's idea with that.
Speaker 5: I mean I like it, you know, like it.
Speaker 2: Part of it is functional because I'm not out yet.
Speaker 2: So yeah, absolutely, it's not just because you're doing it.
Speaker 2: It's also, hey, we're not leaking.
Speaker 1: This out right.
Speaker 4: The main reason, right, and to create and experience for
Speaker 4: the fans who were there who could really hear.
Speaker 2: It's almost like a listening session. That's what I want
Speaker 2: to say on stage, you know, and if you'll be
Speaker 2: scared of they have to do that.
Speaker 4: See what.
Speaker 5: A little scared but worked.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: We're not in the same age as we were in
Speaker 3: the nineties and two thousands is the age of streaming, right, but.
Speaker 5: Even the league would be to our advantage.
Speaker 7: Is something, and I think your fans are your fans
Speaker 7: enough to come out so much.
Speaker 3: We had five shows and no one has done anything.
Speaker 2: They haven't seen any footage.
Speaker 1: Nobody everybody after you, you guys have done with the album?
Speaker 1: Do you guys perform like your hits after that? Or

Speaker 3: This is very cool.
Speaker 1: Wow, we got to make some noise for that answer.

Speaker 4: I'm not picking between Prince and fucking so it's one shot,
Speaker 4: right shot.
Speaker 2: You ever met either of them? Never met either, never
Speaker 2: met either. I feel like pretty much popped up in
Speaker 2: Hollywood stories and stuff. I heard stories. I missed them
Speaker 2: one time by fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4: I know he was like notoriously short. Yeah, he wasn't,
Speaker 4: but he could play ball. He did hear that as
Speaker 4: the world heard that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I like
Speaker 4: that one where he comes up when I think he
Speaker 4: was James Brown was on stage. You know that clip
Speaker 4: when Princes in the crowd.
Speaker 5: And he comes fame.
Speaker 4: He comes on stage on his security guard shoulders from
Speaker 4: the crowd.
Speaker 2: I never saw that.
Speaker 4: Clipton hype that up later James Brown.
Speaker 3: It was funny.
Speaker 1: Nas came on this story and we asked him, did
Speaker 1: anybody ever tell you no, like you know, to do
Speaker 1: a record? And he said, he asked Prince to do
Speaker 1: a record, and Prince asked him, do you own your
Speaker 1: master's And I said no, So they said he wouldn't
Speaker 1: do the record until he owns his masters.
Speaker 2: That was like the ill stick and he said.
Speaker 7: Because I don't want to put those executives kids through college, yo, And.
Speaker 1: Like that's just crazy, right, Like he was so knowledgeable
Speaker 1: that back then, Like you said, it's crazy.
Speaker 4: You remember young Love the mob deep song came out
Speaker 4: with the Prince sample.
Speaker 2: That was because that came out officially came out that
Speaker 2: white label.
Speaker 4: The story was that they were, like I guess they
Speaker 4: were going to try to clear it, but I guess
Speaker 4: Prince was if he on curses. Do you remember the
Speaker 4: first line in.
Speaker 5: The piece versus I mean, he definitely.
Speaker 2: Was the first line of peace versus fresh out just
Speaker 2: a bitch pussy, But it wasn't. I mean, it was
Speaker 2: a great record, but.
Speaker 4: It would have been I think it would have been
Speaker 4: the genius for that.
Speaker 2: It would have been a hit record. And he wasn't
Speaker 2: gonna change his verse, you.
Speaker 1: Know, Pete, and you didn't have one twelve on that record.
Speaker 2: But I wasn't around it.
Speaker 4: I heard the stories. No that was this was before
Speaker 4: I was with them all. But I heard the story
Speaker 4: that p was. You know how he was. He was rigid.
Speaker 4: He wasn't not not going to change his mind for nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: blal or. D'Angelo, Oh solo, cheers, cheers, I'm gonna go
Speaker 4: d Angelo. I'm gonna go d Angelo.
Speaker 2: I used to say, you still got to take the shot.
Speaker 2: I used to say, we did, Dangelo?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Premiere hooked me up with him, so I first moved
Speaker 4: to New York. And it's a funny story because when
Speaker 4: I went to meet him the first time, Premiere was like,
Speaker 4: can you know, bring some weed? D'Angelo gave me. The
Speaker 4: address was like in around the fashion district in Manhattan,
Speaker 4: like twenty eighth and thirtieth from Broadway, and he was like,
Speaker 4: when you go there.
Speaker 2: Don't have anything in your hand? Anything in your hands. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what he meant.
Speaker 4: So I walked in and he it was like literally
Speaker 4: like out of a movie. He was in this big
Speaker 4: law by himself in the middle of the loft, sitting
Speaker 4: in a chair with a guitar, like writing songs. And
Speaker 4: I walked in and shit, I walked in.
Speaker 2: I go up to him.
Speaker 4: He's like, what's up?
Speaker 2: Give him a pound. I'm like, yeah, I'm Premire. He said, oh,
Speaker 2: that's what's up. So gave me another pound.
Speaker 4: Everything I said, you had to give.
Speaker 2: Him a dap with you.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know people like that is
Speaker 4: adapt And then I understood what Premiere said when he
Speaker 4: was like, don't have under It was crazy, But shout
Speaker 4: out to D'Angelo. I haven't.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, D'Angelo, but blood too.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard to pick, but could they're both greats?
Speaker 3: Amazing both.
Speaker 2: The Riza or mugs. That's definitely an alchemist's question. No,
Speaker 2: for both of them. They're both of them best ways.
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: I mean, Mugs is my big brother. I got my
Speaker 4: start because of Mugs. But you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: But if I would sit here and lie, if I
Speaker 4: was to say that the Rezar didn't change my way
Speaker 4: of thinking in general, Like they're both behemoth giants, creators
Speaker 4: of the ship.
Speaker 2: Like I wouldn't be shipped without either of them.
Speaker 3: So I've seen ris in action. Battery Studio, nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2: That's fresh.
Speaker 3: We were in a session. I was in one session.
Speaker 3: Riza was in one session. D'Angelo was in one session.
Speaker 3: Most was in sessions. Yeah, Battery Studio. They had three rooms,
Speaker 3: and it was in one room and he went in
Speaker 3: to listen to the mix. I don't know who the
Speaker 3: engineer was, I don't remember, but he didn't like it,
Speaker 3: and he told him to move out the way and
Speaker 3: he just did the board like Domino's. Then he said,
Speaker 3: put it on the bigs. They played it and.
Speaker 2: He was satisfied that it was incredible, this one, you know.
Speaker 5: Just impressed.
Speaker 3: I try it sometimes.
Speaker 2: He tried to do that on the boards, put it on.
Speaker 5: Just the other part to say, put it on the big.
Speaker 4: The bigs really big, let me hear that, and Riz
Speaker 4: is uh. The fact that he was able to make
Speaker 4: a different sound for every one of them on their
Speaker 4: solo first endeavors, like you know, just an album didn't
Speaker 4: sound like to Cal or whatever.
Speaker 2: They all had like a certain little unique twist.
Speaker 1: You thought he knew them.
Speaker 4: But each one like if it was tapping into this
Speaker 4: type of movies for this one. It were like certain
Speaker 4: nuances of each album that were different.
Speaker 2: An interview in time, he said, he said, I.
Speaker 4: Try to make mephan man beats violence so he has
Speaker 4: to fight back to the beat. I was said, damn,
Speaker 4: I want to listen to Cal. I was like, damh,
Speaker 4: that's crazy.
Speaker 2: And he changed the whole sound at that time, just
Speaker 2: for the first while. There is a man I can't
Speaker 2: even say enough. Now, do you want somebody to roll
Speaker 2: your joint?
Speaker 1: No? Thanks, we gotta try, gotta try.
Speaker 10: J Diller a cute t. J Diller a cute t
Speaker 10: oh uh, rest in piece.
Speaker 3: Yes, rest and beats, Yes, my guy, you know who
Speaker 3: we are almost a Q tip because he's here and
Speaker 3: I want him to know. I want to come all
Speaker 3: to know how his beats inspire me as a as
Speaker 3: a producer, as a beat maker, as a as an
Speaker 3: artist period, how he puts the compositions together. Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: he's bad.
Speaker 5: I can tell what beat is.
Speaker 3: Here is on anybody's album, My deep album, his things up?
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: He's incredible. You're incredible. Where's the camera, Tamal? You know
Speaker 3: you're incredible. There's no no comparison to what you do.
Speaker 5: Everybody has their own thing, but you.
Speaker 2: I still can't get over when he was looping that record.
Speaker 4: With the needle. Oh my god, I'm gonna go cute
Speaker 4: Tip also.
Speaker 2: Man, I mean Tip.
Speaker 4: Man, thinking about all those records that he produced, like
Speaker 4: because back then I didn't really know.
Speaker 2: Wasn't Jay Dilla under Q Tip anyway?
Speaker 4: Yeah okay, yeah, but like at that time, I didn't really.
Speaker 2: Know about production like that.
Speaker 4: So it was kind of all magical when I heard
Speaker 4: the beats, and later on I discovered the samples and
Speaker 4: the drums, and to think that how he was putting
Speaker 4: certain drums to those loops like electric relaxation or something
Speaker 4: like that, like that's a drum break from another record,
Speaker 4: and the synergy and effusion and he was.
Speaker 2: So ahead of his time.
Speaker 4: Or think about the drum pattern for one love like
Speaker 4: just a fucking drum pattern.
Speaker 2: Like yo, he was the night with heat. Tip.
Speaker 4: Tip is like, uh, he's like the foundation for so much.
Speaker 4: And he was also the way we also discovered like
Speaker 4: I didn't know RAMP. I didn't know about RAMP until
Speaker 4: they sampled it. And you know there's like certain records
Speaker 4: that we discovered later. Yeah, he dug deep and it
Speaker 4: was funny because when we were young, I thought that
Speaker 4: he was doing the beats.
Speaker 2: That's what until one love we didn't realize.
Speaker 4: You know who put me on large Large he was
Speaker 4: a lost professor. Think up Large, that's my best case
Speaker 4: scenario for me. He told me he was like Tip
Speaker 4: was in the crates. Tip was really the one because
Speaker 4: back then we always start to put the DJ jaking
Speaker 4: the beats and shout to Alisi. I'm sure he had
Speaker 4: a hand in it, but cute Tip man can't say,
Speaker 4: you know, he's.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Jada subject a little bit. But you told me
Speaker 1: a great story one night. He said that I believe
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure this was you. You said that Large
Speaker 1: Pro went to a Ray Kawan show and Ray Kawan
Speaker 1: didn't have on the Cuban links and he walked out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was he disappeared. We went to the show
Speaker 4: in La. The crowd, Ray came out was gone, where'd
Speaker 4: he go? His man was like, nah, he's outside, he's chilling,
Speaker 4: and I came outside. Afterwards, Ray came out killed it.
Speaker 4: He didn't have his normal big link on. He had
Speaker 4: like a jeweled shirt.
Speaker 2: Or so that's Ray.
Speaker 4: We could do what he wants. The Large was like,
Speaker 4: he went outside, what was up? He's like, God didn't
Speaker 4: have to link.
Speaker 2: He felt like nah, like as a fan, like he
Speaker 2: wanted to. Large is the essence like everything he pop.
Speaker 2: You gotta see he owns a pizza like.
Speaker 1: Yo, yoga, I want, I want, I want to kicking
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 4: You know, I took one time we went to a
Speaker 4: Meeba record stores in La.
Speaker 2: This is a store.
Speaker 4: He snuck a turntable in his own table, and he
Speaker 4: had gloves for digging. And then yo, he went he
Speaker 4: went to the dollar section. And this is for the
Speaker 4: people who understand this. He found a Rupert Holmes drum.
Speaker 2: Break, which is like a break we used to all
Speaker 2: chop up. It's a dollar record.
Speaker 1: Yo.
Speaker 4: He hit it so no one else could get this
Speaker 4: is ship we used to do.
Speaker 2: He went and hit the record so nobody else could
Speaker 2: hit it.
Speaker 4: It was like some old b boys ship to do
Speaker 4: like like like there's not more copies of it that exist,
Speaker 4: but the largest is He's the essence of this whole
Speaker 4: ship and rhymes DJing. He always did it all and
Speaker 4: that's been a big inspiration for me because I always
Speaker 4: wanted to have all all sharpened, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: all elements able.
Speaker 2: To And he's been a sort to a lot of folks.
Speaker 3: Six degrees spot like he's coming to my DJ sets
Speaker 3: and I would hear somebody I know when he gets there,
Speaker 3: because I hear somebody over my shoulder going come on,
Speaker 3: come on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Yo.
Speaker 3: You know he would be there.
Speaker 4: Yea world up that's large, you know, a large, my brother.
Speaker 1: I imagine him like having a baby token to the doctors.
Speaker 1: Make sure you don't look too much. I can see that.
Speaker 2: I'm I don't know what I thought like that, Boldie
Speaker 2: James or Conway.
Speaker 4: But I'm going both on that. Those I'm both both
Speaker 4: solid both to say about that. Two legends.
Speaker 2: Billie Holiday or Nina Simone.
Speaker 3: Billy Holiday Currency or Earl Sweat, very very disrespectful and
Speaker 3: horrible question asked. But I have to answer it. I
Speaker 3: don't want to drink another shot back.
Speaker 2: You would have said both.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Yes, you can bring in someone to be your drinker
Speaker 2: if you'd like.
Speaker 3: Is that a part of it?
Speaker 2: I mean you have to drink a little bit.
Speaker 7: Okay, I don't do anything, but you can have some
Speaker 7: We would like you to drink a little.
Speaker 3: You know, I think I'm good soccer smooth though, sock
Speaker 3: smooth cool. It might be a trickery, but.
Speaker 2: It is the episode I was stand up, you stand up,
Speaker 2: and then you realize we took a picture. I went
Speaker 2: to the bathroom. I came back and I said, we.
Speaker 7: Didn't take a picture, and I got mad at everybody.
Speaker 1: He was going hard because I wanted to take a
Speaker 1: picture with it.
Speaker 2: Some thing I brought some prefernt. I was like, this
Speaker 2: is the first flights, Like we took it already, Like nah,
Speaker 2: man the tape Currency or Earl sweatshirt. Wow, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: have to go both.
Speaker 4: Both of them have a significant role in in what
Speaker 4: I've been able to achieve. Like Currency was the one
Speaker 4: that kind of started the run of me doing these
Speaker 4: one person album and at the time I was kind
Speaker 4: of nervous.
Speaker 2: To do it, and he wanted the Cobra Coop, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 4: He he wanted to just throw it out. I was
Speaker 4: nervous as hell, and he was like, we'll do this
Speaker 4: and we'll sell some which will put it out free.
Speaker 2: And that kind of.
Speaker 4: Was the first time when I started looking at how
Speaker 4: to sell music differently because he had a whole fan
Speaker 4: and we.
Speaker 2: Sold merchant put the music out free with Cobra Coop.
Speaker 2: But he's not your first because turning Back would be
Speaker 2: the first, of course, and then we do Albert Einstein later.
Speaker 4: But I feel like Currency was one of the ones
Speaker 4: because I gave it my all. I remember I wasn't
Speaker 4: holding back with the beats when I when we did
Speaker 4: Cobra Coop, I just met him. It was like a
Speaker 4: new thing, but I was like, fuck it, just put
Speaker 4: my name on it. I gotta, you know, put some
Speaker 4: heat on there, and like it kind of helped start
Speaker 4: the run of doing these like albums with people and Earl,
Speaker 4: Like Earl is like my brother first of all, but
Speaker 4: he's also like I could basically give him an r credit,
Speaker 4: like so much shit the last ten years that you
Speaker 4: see me staying in.
Speaker 2: The loop was because of Earl.
Speaker 4: Really what he put me onto everything, Like he's so ahead.
Speaker 4: Earl is a generational gift. He's not regular, and like
Speaker 4: me being able to he's younger than me, so me
Speaker 4: being able to stay in and loop with him. And
Speaker 4: then he got his young homies. It never ends, you
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. And and and.
Speaker 7: Like local history in a sense that you guys kind
Speaker 7: of relate to course.
Speaker 4: And I'm just thankful to have him as a friend
Speaker 4: and a mentor and and and and this ship because
Speaker 4: trust me, man a lot of the ship that people
Speaker 4: know me, they say, you know, I always putting me
Speaker 4: up on ship. They don't know he's putting me up
Speaker 4: on it. And then he got his young homie who
Speaker 4: put him up on ship. It never ends.
Speaker 2: So you know, shout out to ear that's the both
Speaker 2: my brothers. You got it. You got Eve or Missy
Speaker 2: Eve or Missy.
Speaker 3: Missy for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go Missy too.

Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with Stevie Wonder because you can
Speaker 3: hear me, and he's here, and I want him to
Speaker 3: know as well. He's made maybe one of my biggest
Speaker 3: influences ever in the world. I started listening to Stevie
Speaker 3: Wonder as a toddler. He came out maybe nineteen seventy
Speaker 3: one with an album I think called Talking Book and
Speaker 3: don't quote me, World, don't come on my.
Speaker 2: Drunk, Facts up facts if you get a year off drumpa.
Speaker 3: Nineteen and seventy one, and I've just been listening to him.
Speaker 5: It's a voice. I thought it was my daddy as

Speaker 3: my husband out. But it was kind of satire little yeah,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I love Stevie wonder his voice. There are
Speaker 3: billions of atoms of him and me.
Speaker 2: Have you worked with him?
Speaker 3: Never worked with him? Really? No, that kind of surprises me.
Speaker 3: Well nothing public. Yeah, what you said mentor bring me is.
Speaker 11: He seems and the absolutely it'll happen right Well, you
Speaker 11: said that that he can hear you, right, Some arguably
Speaker 11: say here on drinking.
Speaker 1: Do you think that's the rumor that he can see?
Speaker 3: I have no idea, you know, I don't think so, though.
Speaker 1: Snook Snoop came on the show and says, Stevie FaceTime.
Speaker 1: That's doable.
Speaker 2: Someone could have just put him on FaceTime all right.
Speaker 1: In the elevator was oh, yeah, saw in the elevator
Speaker 1: and Shaq walked in and he didn't say that in
Speaker 1: the Stevie and Stevie was like, what's up, Diesel, like
Speaker 1: before you go into yeah, and the Iley Brothers said
Speaker 1: the street crosses the show just no one is playing around,
Speaker 1: by the way, no one. We're laughing, but no one
Speaker 1: is around.
Speaker 3: You can see he's playing along.
Speaker 8: Drinks because, oh, analog and digital.
Speaker 2: My favorite questions.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: One of my monitors, this analog girl in the digital world.
Speaker 3: Mm hm oh, but uh, I do further warmth childhood
Speaker 3: because it's it's like, you know, nostalgic for me and
Speaker 3: I love you know what we can do and how
Speaker 3: quickly we can do it now too, But I'm gonna
Speaker 3: access cellboard kind of girls, so I'm gonna have to
Speaker 3: say analog, yeah, man long too for sure.
Speaker 1: I can touch this comptability of digital. But I like
Speaker 1: analog like like one thing for short thing for certain
Speaker 1: like us just hearing that y'all both was in the
Speaker 1: studio for as of every record makes me my mind
Speaker 1: me of the analog days used to can't you used
Speaker 1: to can't send in the person a record, the physically
Speaker 1: come to the studio. That was the better.
Speaker 2: That was the better days to me.
Speaker 4: You know, I feel like we're lucky too, because like
Speaker 4: my first beat like keep it thorough, We're gonna make it.
Speaker 2: Those were on two inch tape and those were like that.
Speaker 1: Was right before ship switched over.
Speaker 2: And it's like if I play those beats out of
Speaker 2: the A s R.
Speaker 4: They don't sound the same because that saturation when they
Speaker 4: would hit the tape and go through the S S L. Like,
Speaker 4: I feel blessed to have those first couple of batches
Speaker 4: of beats bang bang we did.
Speaker 2: That was through the ssang.
Speaker 1: The other day, I was sitting there talking to the
Speaker 1: brothers outside and I go, yeah, because you know, there
Speaker 1: was performing on a dat And then I realized no
Speaker 1: one knew what about it was that the two in
Speaker 1: Remember when we were mixing, you'd have to sit there
Speaker 1: in silence when they were rewind it.
Speaker 3: And it wasn't you to like be lucky enough to
Speaker 3: have two reels, two reels so you can drag one
Speaker 3: in order to make a flang sound.
Speaker 4: You got some ship. I don't even know about it.
Speaker 2: Actually, the table that is crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know nothing.
Speaker 3: About sitting there waiting for the whole ship to rewind
Speaker 3: and you're doing an eight minutes Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember, not eight minutes long, but I know.
Speaker 2: Minutes at what I know about.
Speaker 3: Them drops on the board though, those are the best.
Speaker 4: A lot of drops for automation, flying faders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're from that.
Speaker 1: We're from that, remember right, track right, that's right track.
Speaker 1: Does the studios still exist?
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, Man, the right track one and.
Speaker 3: By forty seventh Street, okay, by the music stores.
Speaker 2: Right right, yes, old point. It was a real bad
Speaker 2: strip club next to right track.
Speaker 4: Remember that.
Speaker 1: It was like you talking about sound.
Speaker 2: So we did queens over there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did queans over there.
Speaker 2: I maye that beat on the spot. Yeah, that was
Speaker 2: a good time. It was horrible to mar I drank.
Speaker 1: I went there to drink, but I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't have fun.
Speaker 1: It was like it was just you know, back then
Speaker 1: we would come up from my m C and y'all
Speaker 1: hits over there like on downtown, like as they mix
Speaker 1: in and just have a drink, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like what was saying on that Joe was a complexion
Speaker 2: complexity question?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's put this quick time with.
Speaker 3: Slung, which is so we say for sure analog right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, both everybody said it.
Speaker 3: Is that you cannot roll the joint on a digital download.
Speaker 2: You cannot have to have it. That's right. I can't
Speaker 2: roll a joint on air. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3: You'll get it later.
Speaker 2: Think g rapper slick Rick, mm.
Speaker 5: Cools you Rap, Yes, can we can?
Speaker 3: We can we have an era? Okay do we have
Speaker 3: to just.
Speaker 7: It's whatever criteria. It could be that Coolie Wrap made
Speaker 7: amazing mac and cheese. One day he was like, silet pick.
Speaker 5: Him slick Rick.
Speaker 2: I mean, Coolie Rap shall just slick Rick.
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like he's the inventor of so
Speaker 4: much style, Like you could just you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: But Coolie Rap, Like I feel like at this moment
Speaker 4: right now, like you could get a verse from him
Speaker 4: and it was smoke. Yeah, he's anybody, and he came
Speaker 4: from an arrow of King Kim just like and he
Speaker 4: never really got that, but g Rap always through every
Speaker 4: era like, so back.
Speaker 2: To go for your guns with Mop and you can
Speaker 2: do the realists.
Speaker 4: The realist that I'll never forget that day is because
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't know MAB but really well at
Speaker 4: the time, and I just met them and Pete called
Speaker 4: me and was like, I knew the beat because I
Speaker 4: played it for him already. He said, come to the studio,
Speaker 4: we want to use that beat. I loaded up the
Speaker 4: fucking SR and the big ass that shit was huge,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, took it to the studio
Speaker 4: and walked in and Cooolgi Rappers sitting there, and I
Speaker 4: was just like, you know, the fan in me was
Speaker 4: like wow. He didn't tell me. He was like, you know,
Speaker 4: we want to do that beat. I loaded it up instantly.
Speaker 4: I didn't call my manager. I didn't And that's the
Speaker 4: thing I always tell people, because I couldn't. I could
Speaker 4: have fucked that moment up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: But I was so so much a fan. I was
Speaker 4: a who's engineer?
Speaker 1: Plug me up.
Speaker 2: I tracked the.
Speaker 4: Beat and g rap went first because he finished his
Speaker 4: rhyme first. And he went in there and laid that ship,
Speaker 4: and everybody in the room was just like, what the hell?
Speaker 4: I remember? You know, P took they both P and
Speaker 4: half took your time and wrote half mother wrote four
Speaker 4: rhymes for that before he laid his verse, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean.
Speaker 2: And at the time, I was kind of insecure because
Speaker 2: it was a loop.
Speaker 4: You know, it's really just a it's a one shot,
Speaker 4: you know. And I had all these like fancy beats
Speaker 4: at the time, and they wanted a rhyme on that,
Speaker 4: and I was kind of insecured because I was like, damn,
Speaker 4: you don't want these to showcase yourself understanding the time.
Speaker 2: Yet now I get it.
Speaker 4: You got to get out of the way sometimes. You know,
Speaker 4: if I can do any style, but if if the
Speaker 4: beat is already there, get out of the way. You
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. And that was just one of
Speaker 4: those moments. But g rap Man, g.
Speaker 7: Rap was was that the record that opened you up
Speaker 7: to that whole side.
Speaker 4: That I mean, that's when started the connection with Mob Deep.
Speaker 4: It was that ug music.
Speaker 2: It just felt like from then on and just spread
Speaker 2: because from New York.
Speaker 4: I mean on a timeline with Mob Deep and like
Speaker 4: like like BC and a D like.
Speaker 3: You said you was Puerto Rican.
Speaker 2: For Bod, I had the thin.
Speaker 3: He wasn't saying it, but you know.
Speaker 2: I showed her an old picture that had the thin mustache.
Speaker 1: You know that.
Speaker 2: You know when we were that's when we was rocking,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: But you know, my whole ship you could put on
Speaker 4: the timeline once I linked.
Speaker 2: It with Mob Deep. I mean, that's how I linked
Speaker 2: with CNN.
Speaker 4: I remember walking into Halves Crib when he used to
Speaker 4: live in Freeport, walk down into the basement. One day
Speaker 4: he said, come over, we're making beats and ship. All
Speaker 4: of a sudden Naves walked in. That's the first day
Speaker 4: I met Naves at Halves Crib, you know, and I

Speaker 2: all Well.
Speaker 3: My story with Alicia Keys I was it was nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety seven or eight and Bodyism was going to come out,
Speaker 3: and I lived in Brooklyn. I had an apartment in Brooklyn,
Speaker 3: and a woman called me from Universal I think my label,
Speaker 3: and said I have this young girl, the high school student,
Speaker 3: and she likes you or I think she said she
Speaker 3: I just want you to hear the music, whichever way
Speaker 3: it was, and I heard it and it was Alicia
Speaker 3: Key singing butterflies on acoustic piano.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, before it came out, before it.
Speaker 3: Ever came out, I was like, who is this. It
Speaker 3: was so beautiful and I don't know if I totally
Speaker 3: shad that, but yes I was. I played it for
Speaker 3: all my friends and everything as a way to compare
Speaker 3: myself to you and say, see, this is how we
Speaker 3: do when we have the you know, And I was
Speaker 3: trying to level leveraged myself with you because you were
Speaker 3: so amazing at that point and my music hadn't come
Speaker 3: out yet either. But I'm want to tell you that
Speaker 3: Jillie from Philly, we started off a little rough because
Speaker 3: we were kind of both.
Speaker 5: Played a little bit.
Speaker 3: I sang a song called You Got Me written by
Speaker 3: Jill and I never sung a song written by anybody
Speaker 3: in my life, and it was so amazing that I
Speaker 3: took a chance to do it because the route said
Speaker 3: we want you to sing this song. Well, I didn't
Speaker 3: know it was written by Jill until it was time
Speaker 3: to win a Grammy, and it kind of invertedly knocked
Speaker 3: her out of her opportunity to be this first artist
Speaker 3: with this beautiful music. And I always felt really bad
Speaker 3: about it, and we've talked about it since then.
Speaker 2: How did it knock her out?
Speaker 3: Well, because she didn't come out until two thousand and one.
Speaker 3: I came out in nineteen ninety seven, and I was
Speaker 3: already a recording artist, and she was a writer at
Speaker 3: the time, an aspiring artist whose album would come out soon.
Speaker 3: So when that happened, sometimes I didn't know the writing
Speaker 3: game and all that.
Speaker 5: I just it was a good song. I didn't know
Speaker 5: she did it, but.
Speaker 3: When I when I performed it with the Roots, we
Speaker 3: want a Grammy.
Speaker 2: As well.
Speaker 3: And the night, you know, a couple of nights before
Speaker 3: the Grammys, calm and told me this is the writer
Speaker 3: of it. And you know, I called her, talked to
Speaker 3: her about it, and got up on stage and won
Speaker 3: the Grammy. But I still couldn't help but to feel like,
Speaker 3: oh my, I wish yeah or something, you know. But
Speaker 3: that's my Jill story. Me and Jill are real cool
Speaker 3: now and I love her. She's a great mommy, great friend,
Speaker 3: great listener. Do yeah, I know Alicia as well, but
Speaker 3: we will. You have a lot of chaps alumni. I
Speaker 3: saw her, Yeah, this last one I saw.
Speaker 2: She was amazed.
Speaker 3: She seemed like she wasn't drunk at all. You know,
Speaker 3: she drank drinking the ship down and ship I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: I say both did we drink?
Speaker 2: We say both we didn't drink. We didn't. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know why I'm reminding you.
Speaker 3: This is terrible.
Speaker 2: You want to take a break big time and going
Speaker 2: to the flower Time. No, no, yeah, I've seen it.
Speaker 2: I seen it. I seen that.
Speaker 4: Okay, making sure Dead Press or black Star at the
Speaker 4: DEEPO whoa.

Speaker 2: Okay, you can break it down to pass and shout
Speaker 2: out to my Florida that one. In case want to
Speaker 2: drink this one, I'm going to go black Star black Star, Okay.

Speaker 2: I don't believe that.
Speaker 10: Ship.

Speaker 3: n w A was a political group, was a radical
Speaker 3: group who was trying to express what America had created
Speaker 3: through the characters that they portrayed, and where E or
Speaker 3: Eric was really in this you know, in this world,
Speaker 3: and it just became something else. But he said, first day,
Speaker 3: we're trying to balance public enemy.
Speaker 2: To me the same on the different sides of the spectrum.

Speaker 1: attire was like so much looking like that West Coast

Speaker 3: It it was already, but it was already his style
Speaker 3: before he left.
Speaker 2: He was dressing like that.

Speaker 3: he was ahead of his time as a kid, you know.
Speaker 3: And well, yeah, we opened the Wrap era in Dallas
Speaker 3: where Cole Chris came up.
Speaker 1: Chris. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it was only a few like groups that were
Speaker 3: like really thriving in that era, but the whole everything
Speaker 3: was inspired by East Coast, of course, Yeah, but we
Speaker 3: had our own culture of hip hop and in that culture,
Speaker 3: d o C reigned supreme and so did Cole Chris. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and when he got discovered by a man called Doctor
Speaker 3: Rock who was a DJ. Doctor Rock introduced him to
Speaker 3: Doctor Drew And as a kid, he's not even fished
Speaker 3: with high school. He was disenchanted with high school. That's
Speaker 3: how he Yeah, he got introduced like that and they
Speaker 3: went out there. He wrote so much stuff, and this
Speaker 3: is the story I understand to be true. He wrote
Speaker 3: so much stuff and he kind of helped to shape
Speaker 3: and form the minds.
Speaker 5: Of of what we hear as West Coast rap.
Speaker 4: Or in w in the DNA of West the popularity.
Speaker 4: He was so ahead ahead of time, ahead of his time,
Speaker 4: game his flow.
Speaker 2: We were with DJ Quick in the studio recently.
Speaker 4: He came when we were working on the album, and
Speaker 4: the stuff that he said about d OC was like
Speaker 4: someone endearing, like he really said the same thing we're saying,
Speaker 4: Like d OC.
Speaker 2: Was pivotal in the West Coast sound comes from so much.
Speaker 5: DJ Quick is one of my favorite producers.
Speaker 2: Yes and Quick safe to say you got DJ Quick
Speaker 2: on the album.
Speaker 5: He yes, he plays wood block.
Speaker 1: He has block.
Speaker 3: Quick and he did something really important that expanded my
Speaker 3: production game. He gave me Overenheimer.
Speaker 2: He gave her.
Speaker 4: He came to the studio with a keyboard and just
Speaker 4: gave it to Oberheimen, which is I think you're using
Speaker 4: on stage with us?
Speaker 5: I do, and then the album shout out, quick man,
Speaker 5: drink chest.
Speaker 7: Teacher, all right, Larry jun Or two chains.
Speaker 3: Oh you silly, you must be dragging. That's not going
Speaker 3: by the way, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, drink up. Something to say there.
Speaker 5: This is crazy.
Speaker 2: We're almost done. We're almost at the finish line. Get
Speaker 2: us home, Get us home.
Speaker 7: Your m TV wraps a wrap city.
Speaker 3: You know what TV raps for me? Thanks y Freddy,
Speaker 3: all day.
Speaker 4: Doctor dre Love. That was the beginning of everything. We
Speaker 4: saw everything. Yeah, I saw all the videos first there
Speaker 4: shouted Uncle Ralph. Though you know what, I'm Ralph just because.
Speaker 7: No, absolutely we didn't get him down here, but we
Speaker 7: knew the significant VHS tape.
Speaker 2: Three more havoc, both of you hazard.
Speaker 1: He knows he looks.
Speaker 3: Pretty more havoc. What he just wants to get the game.
Speaker 2: We could have a conversation, Like.
Speaker 3: The conversation and the drinking is kind of like the
Speaker 3: casual part of me, the stories, and then we're taking
Speaker 3: all this personal.
Speaker 4: They're both so important in everything I do, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean? Like first first, first it was Premiere.
Speaker 4: Premiere was my everything, you know, like Premiere. I think
Speaker 4: any producer could say that as like as an inspiration,
Speaker 4: like my first beast. You can ask evidence they were
Speaker 4: fake Premiere beats and he used to be like, no.
Speaker 2: No, no, that sounds like rappers are in danger. Not
Speaker 2: that sounds like whatever. And it was like I had
Speaker 2: to learn to craft moll stout.
Speaker 4: And then later when I moved to New York, I
Speaker 4: became friends with him, so then of course I can't
Speaker 4: make a beat that sounds like him, you know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And then from there it went to Lincoln would have
Speaker 2: it and Mob Deep and have it. He's a beat.
Speaker 4: I can't even say it because you experienced it at
Speaker 4: the time, Like the Mob Deep days, it was like
Speaker 4: shit you never saw before, Like they used to be
Speaker 4: in a studio twenty thirty deep, and he was like
Speaker 4: a conduit, like a or like he used to come
Speaker 4: in there drunk.
Speaker 2: Ian j throw a.
Speaker 4: Diskin and then he would just start making beats in
Speaker 4: the studio and was it right track, right track, unique
Speaker 4: d n D And he would make sure live and
Speaker 4: then his whole crew would just you know, guy, he
Speaker 4: would be in there swinging his arm and no, he
Speaker 4: would be wilding and it would be like he was
Speaker 4: feeding off of the cruise energy. And I swear I
Speaker 4: learned so much from Havoc, like drum programming, Like if
Speaker 4: you listen to Burn, that's like a perfect that's a
Speaker 4: beat mix baseline.
Speaker 2: He played that ship on the MP. The guitar.
Speaker 4: He played that ship on the MP like he just
Speaker 4: took one chop and went And I just say that
Speaker 4: to say, like I used to sit there and just absorb,
Speaker 4: you know. So both of them are are like are
Speaker 4: in my DNA?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. You can hear it premiere
Speaker 2: and have it. So pour a fucking drink.
Speaker 3: Up, God.
Speaker 2: S Blue. I'm sorry we're drinking tonight. Make sure you

Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Now, when you look at hard copy, you know, copies,
Speaker 1: just hard like you know, I'm gonna finish, I'm gonna bad.
Speaker 1: But when you look at hard copies, does that remind
Speaker 1: you of a good time in the industry? Or is

Speaker 1: saying man? You know.
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: For years, I couldn't listen to the War Report one
Speaker 1: because I didn't own it, and I just when I
Speaker 1: would look at it and it was just so much
Speaker 1: pain and the person I used to be. So when
Speaker 1: when when you look at these hard copies?
Speaker 2: What what? What do you say to yourself?
Speaker 3: Ladies? First, Yeah, ship, Yeah, I see a green person
Speaker 3: who is very fortunate that got an opportunity that a
Speaker 3: lot of people did not have. I see a partnership
Speaker 3: between a machine and a singular artist that worked out
Speaker 3: very well because both of our plans were demonstrated in
Speaker 3: the collaboration. You know, I got. I wanted people to
Speaker 3: just hear what I have to say. And I'm not
Speaker 3: a big money focused person. I don't really care about that.
Speaker 3: I can tell you that he doesn't think that's very smart.
Speaker 3: All the time I take his advice on it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just see that's a good ship. I tell my
Speaker 3: children all the time. If you want to know who
Speaker 3: your mama is listened to, Badu is a Mama's Gun
Speaker 3: world Wide Underground New America one and two. But you
Speaker 3: can't use my phone. And now Abby and Allen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I expressed myself beast through this music and I'm so
Speaker 3: happy it has a platform and the deals that I
Speaker 3: made are mine and I and I'm good with that.
Speaker 5: I'm proud of that work very much.
Speaker 4: So how about you out, Yeah, Like I'm like, I'm
Speaker 4: thankful for the journey, but you know the whole like
Speaker 4: even looking that's like old mixtapes that was like the
Speaker 4: Bob Perry days and well, just like give fucking what.
Speaker 2: Was that lan?
Speaker 4: And it was like I went through so many phases,
Speaker 4: you know, and then it went from that to Cotch yep.
Speaker 4: That's how I did my first album, Infantry, And it
Speaker 4: was like it was so many stages that I had
Speaker 4: to go through, and it was like one shit started clicking,
Speaker 4: like like maybe five or six years ago. It was like, damn,
Speaker 4: I wish. I wish it was like this twenty years
Speaker 4: ago and I we could have just sped that. But
Speaker 4: it's like you have to go through those steps.
Speaker 1: You have to.
Speaker 2: You can't skip any steps, you know.
Speaker 4: And I don't know how to explain it, but it's
Speaker 4: like it's in the process, you know, And it was
Speaker 4: it was all I learned every step of the way.
Speaker 4: Like I told you with E I'm just learning new ship,
Speaker 4: still learning, and it's like I got into the indie
Speaker 4: stuff and started doing my own thing, and I started realizing,
Speaker 4: we don't.
Speaker 2: Need these companies. They're just giving you money, like we
Speaker 2: have all the ideas. They're just banks. They're just banks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he told me, Like when I finally I was
Speaker 3: liberated from my label after twenty seven years. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: when we were trying to figure out what we're going
Speaker 3: to do about this album, he said, I'd rather take
Speaker 3: a loan from a bank, straight.
Speaker 2: Real, that's a better deal. The way she thinks is independent.
Speaker 2: And she was telling me stories every step of the way.
Speaker 4: She had to fight the fucking power to label the people,
Speaker 4: in convinced people, and it was like she had the
Speaker 4: independent spirit and she won every time.
Speaker 2: Every time she told me about the ship she went through,
Speaker 2: like with with.
Speaker 4: Even Tyrone, Like she told me they had to convince
Speaker 4: the label, like the fucking record on Tyrone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, when it's something new, nobody really knows
Speaker 3: the vision. But you I mean, it's it's all a
Speaker 3: part of it, you know, the convincing, it's a big
Speaker 3: part of it, you know, getting everybody on the same teams.
Speaker 3: Thank you for all of these beautiful compliments, and that place.
Speaker 2: I learn a lot.
Speaker 3: But just like he's never said any of this to me.
Speaker 2: No, well, that's what we're here for.
Speaker 4: But look, as artists, that is not want you go ahead.
Speaker 4: We see ship, you know, yes, you know what it is.
Speaker 4: We all created, so we see ship in our mind.
Speaker 4: And she moves at the fucking speed of light like
Speaker 4: she'll see shit in her head and start moving in
Speaker 4: and fill me in later and be like, yo, my bad.
Speaker 4: And I said, it's okay, I trust you, but I
Speaker 4: think sometimes the people don't see the shit that you see,
Speaker 4: and then like, you'll explain some shit to one of
Speaker 4: your people. I got an idea and they'd be like, yo, yo,
Speaker 4: you're bugging right, and then two three years later it
Speaker 4: actually happens, and then those same people come back around
Speaker 4: and be.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, shit is crazy.
Speaker 4: And it's like I had to learn how to be
Speaker 4: humble and just accept it instead of being like I
Speaker 4: told you you should have listened to me, because that's
Speaker 4: not classy. And that's what I learned from her too,
Speaker 4: how to be tasteful and classy and be like, just.
Speaker 2: Follow your ideas.
Speaker 4: Like every idea she had that was insane, it's worked,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So I realized like how.
Speaker 4: To collaborate with somebody to get out the way and
Speaker 4: inspire their ideas. And it's been it's been a crazy journey.
Speaker 3: He's like that across the board though, just with everything,
Speaker 3: every part of his life. Willing to learn or willing
Speaker 3: to share, or willing to step down. Sometimes you have
Speaker 3: a choice between being right or being a good friend.
Speaker 3: And I see him choosing being a good friend, and
Speaker 3: it's inspiring to me as well. So I feel you.
Speaker 3: Thank you for that, thank you for trusting me.
Speaker 4: You know it.
Speaker 3: I have a bit of erica.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? This is an amazing collaboration relationship
Speaker 2: for sure.
Speaker 1: When did you start smoking joints with tobacco?
Speaker 2: When you went to Amsterdam? Amsterdam? You have a song?
Speaker 2: What you were saying just got turned out?
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 2: He has never turned back. All right, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1: So our show is about giving people they flowers when
Speaker 1: they could smell them, they thoughts what they could think them,
Speaker 1: and they drinks while they could drink them. We want
Speaker 1: to give y'all both flowers to your face. Snoop said,
Speaker 1: it's better than overdue.

Speaker 1: No, thank you, guys, thank.
Speaker 3: You so very much. I want to bring you guys
Speaker 3: something to it sold out, it is sometimes it sold
Speaker 3: out whenever I say it is, oh ship.
Speaker 2: Damn Sonny, you got the wrong Google. She just drops
Speaker 2: whenever she wants she do a drop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So it's kind of when when I think
Speaker 3: you deserve it basically okay, it's bottle pussy instance, and
Speaker 3: the people talking about it on your show Lives, Yes,
Speaker 3: talk about it.
Speaker 1: You're gonna like one.
Speaker 5: I'm going to like one right now.
Speaker 16: I can see this I bought, I brought the torch.
Speaker 2: Help me out.
Speaker 3: Okay, we like it to be like that. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2: Sold out everywhere else.
Speaker 3: So so that is like a question, this is the
Speaker 3: point where everything will change. Let you know, everybody got
Speaker 3: seriously jokes and ship everybody got real serious relas joking relax.
Speaker 1: So well, entertainment is like have a product to sell,
Speaker 1: and you know, some people sell liquor, some people sell
Speaker 1: you know, marijuana, some people sell shoes. So what what
Speaker 1: what what.
Speaker 2: Made you want to do incense, And then the sentence.
Speaker 3: The answer, yes, I understand, I understand the question. Okay, Well,
Speaker 3: incense and candles and things have always been a part
Speaker 3: of my esthetic. I did not create it, any of it.
Speaker 3: It was just a part of you know, if you
Speaker 3: came into my world that that's what's happening. But I've
Speaker 3: always been associated with candles and incense. And then there
Speaker 3: was this urban legend, of course, as you all probably
Speaker 3: know about that, my pussy make niggas change gods and jobs.
Speaker 3: I don't know why didn't No, I heard it all
Speaker 3: around the industry. It's like an urban legend.
Speaker 4: Is it.
Speaker 3: Have you heard that before?
Speaker 4: I've heard that.
Speaker 3: Did people tell you when they meant me not to
Speaker 3: look me in the eye? See these are things.
Speaker 1: That I see.
Speaker 7: Did you see where my friend went in to get
Speaker 7: the vinyl autographs.
Speaker 2: Of the room sweating? He said like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: that was so very difficult.
Speaker 3: That is so funny. What a legend can do? You know,
Speaker 3: a legend that I make men change jobs and gods.
Speaker 3: Come on, that's only half the legend. Women too, children
Speaker 3: and animals, any living breathing thing. I feel cheated on
Speaker 3: that legend because they didn't tell the whole story.
Speaker 5: Everything everything.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we're talking about the.
Speaker 3: I don't know what we're talking about either, but we're
Speaker 3: talking about everything.
Speaker 1: Taking a shot.
Speaker 2: Taking already, but everything. You guys want to drive my ship.
Speaker 4: It's drink Champs, y'all, ain't no champs.
Speaker 1: Say something I knew. I knew when you older.
Speaker 2: But that's that's what it up with it.
Speaker 1: So that's an urban legend.
Speaker 2: You're saying.
Speaker 3: You know that it is about this. You've heard everybody
Speaker 3: come on your show and say this type of thing
Speaker 3: about me, right.
Speaker 2: So what is true and what isn't true?
Speaker 3: Erica, Well, I don't think the magic lies between my thighs.
Speaker 3: I think it lies between my ears. And I think
Speaker 3: that's hard for people to understand or accept that.
Speaker 2: Is a mental connection.
Speaker 3: Perhaps, yeah, it's mental. It has very litt to do
Speaker 3: with any of these other things. But I think it's
Speaker 3: a good thing to sell a bottle puts the instance,
Speaker 3: because I think I'll all deserve it.
Speaker 2: Sunny he said it sold out twice.
Speaker 5: Oh more than that.
Speaker 3: You can get it more than that, baby bout you.
Speaker 2: We've been trying to get it for a long time
Speaker 2: we wanted to support you.
Speaker 3: Well, now you have it, will you.
Speaker 1: Give it to him?
Speaker 2: Now he's never gonna bring it back.
Speaker 3: I'll make sure I give you one to thank you
Speaker 3: very much.
Speaker 7: I'll make sure I get three sticks to Boris.
Speaker 1: Because the first thing I walk in the door, it
Speaker 1: is like your boys, man, you know what.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna put it all on boards because obviously
Speaker 2: I sent Borys in to get the autographed.
Speaker 8: So I was like, oh, go ahead, Brod.
Speaker 1: Do you do you think do you think people meet
Speaker 1: you and are are nervous of that? Like like you said,
Speaker 1: people get nervous of that, your presence, like you said,
Speaker 1: people tearing your world apart, like people saying like people say,
Speaker 1: don't don't don't look you in the eye, like.
Speaker 3: Breaking up your happy home? What is it?
Speaker 2: What's talking about? More specific?
Speaker 1: That's what they say, Like they say that about Janet Jackson,
Speaker 1: about Janet Jackson too, they say that Jason Cary tells
Speaker 1: you don't look at Janet's eyes.
Speaker 2: You never you never heard of that. I heard that,
Speaker 2: Nikim and I and they would saying.
Speaker 3: Look, well maybe it's a lot of us then more
Speaker 3: than you think. Okay, yeah, but I think the urban
Speaker 3: legend kind of comes from just being a creative person. Yeah,
Speaker 3: creative who is fearless, and it is saki okayak.
Speaker 7: All of what I just said, I think, Mama Juana
Speaker 7: goes more with the conversation.
Speaker 1: With the conversation, it.
Speaker 2: Is for you moment.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what I was saying just now.
Speaker 3: You said, I trying to say, the urban legend is
Speaker 3: what it is because there's something happening here. There's something
Speaker 3: happening here. When I get into the lives of of guys,
Speaker 3: something happening here. Do you see the pattern? No, you
Speaker 3: don't see the pattern. You're fired.
Speaker 1: We do see the pattern.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, this conversation is over because I don't know
Speaker 3: where it's going. All I'm trying to say is I'm
Speaker 3: giving a gift to body pushing incense, and I want
Speaker 3: everyone to enjoy it. I enjoy making them and enjoy
Speaker 3: sharing them. And you said, but you didn't make it
Speaker 3: make what make it? I made the incense, but I
Speaker 3: didn't make the legend. The legend made itself.
Speaker 7: So the big question was, without being crude, how is
Speaker 7: it made? How did the smell come about?
Speaker 5: How did the smell come about will.
Speaker 3: Most guys say that my vagina smells like strawberries and gunpowder.
Speaker 2: Man, it sounds like the sounds like a nice place
Speaker 2: in the wild, wild West.
Speaker 3: So I tried toplicate there. You know, I don't know,
Speaker 3: that's what they say.
Speaker 2: I don't know, she said, I don't know where they.
Speaker 3: Getting strawberries from. But yeah, that's what they say. So
Speaker 3: I try to do picase smell strawberries and gun powder,
Speaker 3: and I hope that I'm doing that.
Speaker 7: J all right, answer your questions, because they had all
Speaker 7: kinds of reasons of how you got it together, and
Speaker 7: it got weird.
Speaker 1: It got weird, got real weird.
Speaker 3: They were like they didn't have someone make their hands
Speaker 3: their hand up.
Speaker 1: He got a question.
Speaker 2: We're here, God, come on for Haiti bro.
Speaker 1: No, maybe not, because he's gonna up come here and
Speaker 1: sign here.
Speaker 17: He listen, listen that candle is it's not a candle.
Speaker 17: I mean sorry, I was staying and I would definitely
Speaker 17: use those every day in my house for the rest
Speaker 17: of my life.
Speaker 3: Go sit down the legend.
Speaker 2: For the rest of his life, he said, He said,
Speaker 2: strawberries and gunpowder for the rest.
Speaker 1: Of his life.
Speaker 5: That's what it is.
Speaker 2: Oh, man, that was amazing.
Speaker 3: How would legends get started? I don't know, something's happening.
Speaker 14: Though something has definitely happened something. And early on you
Speaker 14: worked with Tom Ford. Yeah, Like, how did that come about?
Speaker 3: Tom is also from Texas, is a designer, and he
Speaker 3: reached out. He's from Houston, Texas, Austin, Texas. He started
Speaker 3: out in soap operas as an actor, but he reached
Speaker 3: out to us and he had a campaign called White Paculi.
Speaker 3: He wanted me to be the face of it, and
Speaker 3: I thought it would be really fun. It was the
Speaker 3: first kind of campaign thing that I did. Like that,
Speaker 3: and I really love and respect Tom. What I love
Speaker 3: about fashion and houses is who the current creative director is,
Speaker 3: and the creative director is kind of the person whose
Speaker 3: vision everyone follows. And it's really cool to have seen
Speaker 3: him grow from Tom Ford or from the creative.
Speaker 5: Director of Gucci.
Speaker 3: Where it comes from, Well, he came from himself, but
Speaker 3: he was hired as the creative director of Gucci and
Speaker 3: then to his own brand and for very classy, very cool.
Speaker 1: Were you the first artist he collabed with?
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then you had a collection come out with Yeah.
Speaker 3: After that yeah, Marnie, same thing. The brand reached out
Speaker 3: and wanted to collab. Francesco Riso and I became very
Speaker 3: very good friends because of our same kind of creative
Speaker 3: eye and art and and fashion and shape and sculpture,
Speaker 3: and that's how that happened. And we did a really
Speaker 3: really cool line, very short run, but very fun things.
Speaker 3: He used all my aesthetics basically and created a line
Speaker 3: and gave me permission to create with him, so it
Speaker 3: was his world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you love more? Fashion or music?
Speaker 3: I love art. All of it takes the same process. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I have to be doing it making something. Yeah feels
Speaker 3: good to me. It's my therapy.
Speaker 2: Both of them fall under art.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2: Anything that you're creative. Yeah, I came here. How much
Speaker 2: you drink? I would have never thought you came here
Speaker 2: to drink?
Speaker 1: But he's in.
Speaker 2: He's a smoke really but you know, keeping up.
Speaker 3: He didn't drink the whole thing though she called you out.
Speaker 2: You gotta drink it, bro. Now I get to that man,
Speaker 2: you feel refilm.
Speaker 5: That was the guy.
Speaker 7: Let me let me go into this record because I
Speaker 7: wanted to go into this record. So I got the
Speaker 7: test press of it. A bang bang, this is the
Speaker 7: test press.
Speaker 4: How the funk you have that come on?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 7: And this cause there was a lot of controversy when
Speaker 7: it came out, and I remember you showing it to
Speaker 7: me in the studio when you got I think you
Speaker 7: got the mix here in Miami at Criteria, I believe.
Speaker 2: Okay, And I mixed it in Criteria. No no, no no,
Speaker 2: I think you got it.
Speaker 1: We got it.
Speaker 7: I went to the studio you were playing records and
Speaker 7: then booming and you playing You was.
Speaker 2: Like, this is going to be bananas when it comes out,
Speaker 2: and it was Foxy talking about what she was talking about.
Speaker 2: Did you know when you made the beat when the
Speaker 2: record was made?
Speaker 1: Because you didn't make Quiet Storm, right, I haven't made
Speaker 1: a quire storm.
Speaker 4: But I remember the session for this for Bank Bank
Speaker 4: because I came to the studio.
Speaker 2: And one thing about Nori, like anytime we ever.
Speaker 4: Worked, it was always so easy because it was like
Speaker 4: the second beat that I played, it was never more
Speaker 4: than two beats. He was like, that's it, put that
Speaker 4: ship up, let's go. And I remember that day I
Speaker 4: came to the studio and I played that beat. He
Speaker 4: was like, put it up, and then he was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: this is hard. I'm gonna get my little sister on this.
Speaker 4: And he went on the phone in the studio phone.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the fuck he was calling. He
Speaker 2: called Foxy. You didn't know it was called no Idea Aead.
Speaker 4: She must have been in the neighborhood because she was
Speaker 4: there in like fifteen minutes. He must have been death
Speaker 4: Jam somewhere. She fifteen minutes, she pulled up beach playing.
Speaker 4: She wrote like three different rhymes and I'll never.
Speaker 2: Forget to see see she three rhymes, and.
Speaker 4: Then Johnathan Lighty came through because I had to go
Speaker 4: leave to go to another session. I think it might
Speaker 4: have been even the dude, We're gonna make it with Jada,
Speaker 4: but we stayed.
Speaker 2: Come on, we stayed. It was the same time, it
Speaker 2: was the same era.
Speaker 4: Well, we stayed and waited, and she went in the
Speaker 4: move and laid that rhyme and I was.
Speaker 1: Like she she went in there with bis yes, like
Speaker 1: like like because I sold just in case.
Speaker 2: The stage the stage, Yeah, because I didn't know.
Speaker 1: All of us helped her understand what happen. So Little
Speaker 1: Kim and Mob Deep Drops, Quiet Storm remix. Right, this
Speaker 1: is the remix of quemix the remix. Excuse me, I'm
Speaker 1: bad Foxy At the time, I considered my sister right,
Speaker 1: so I finally she was like, yo, let me get
Speaker 1: on the record with y'all, because like we're mob Deep's competition,
Speaker 1: but we're like not their competition, but but we're trying
Speaker 1: to be up there right so here and it's like
Speaker 1: this is more Deep producer too. It's like so it's
Speaker 1: like it's not they can clearly like that, so they
Speaker 1: can clearly ship that there's not no beef because it's
Speaker 1: Alchemist that did it. So but I didn't in my
Speaker 1: naive mind, I didn't know how far fox he was
Speaker 1: going to take it. But she was just the first book.
Speaker 1: So she was just like she was like I'm talking
Speaker 1: about like she went right in, like talking about in
Speaker 1: the boots. She had three different rhymes like she was
Speaker 1: she was exercising in the boot.
Speaker 2: In my mind, like I.
Speaker 1: Was like, oh, and I just have never seen nothing
Speaker 1: like that, especially from a female. And I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: And the beating is like I wouldn't edit a man,
Speaker 1: so I wasn't. I couldn't edit her, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I couldn't be like, yo, chill, don't say that.
Speaker 1: So it was it was weird because like she just
Speaker 1: puff on and ship like.
Speaker 18: She just went crazy. She just even have to do
Speaker 18: with nothing. Let me REI the mill Man. I was like, oh,
Speaker 18: when you showed me the record, you were uncomfortable. Yeah,
Speaker 18: he was uncomfortable. I really was controversy.
Speaker 2: Stop, Like, I don't know the hook Bang Bang Bank.
Speaker 1: Is one of the best records before, but but we
Speaker 1: had I have it on.
Speaker 2: Here last week and I just had to tell him.
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, bro, if I had to, if
Speaker 1: I had like.
Speaker 2: A more of a like.
Speaker 1: Idea of where life was going, I would have asked.
Speaker 2: Foxy to calm down a little bit.
Speaker 1: I would have asked, but I didn't even know how
Speaker 1: to because I was like, she came in just like
Speaker 1: and then she had three.
Speaker 2: Different ones.
Speaker 1: Because I don't want to.
Speaker 2: The moment she went was the one. Though I loved.
Speaker 1: Making making I loved making the record with Foxy, but
Speaker 1: I do regret making that record because you still regretted
Speaker 1: to the leg to a lot of drama. Let's unnecessary problems.
Speaker 3: Obviously this is a regional thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is it. Yeah, because you have no idea
Speaker 1: what we're talking about.
Speaker 3: But it's an interesting though.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I asked you what you like more performing
Speaker 1: or or recording.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's different things. But I prefer performing. Thus
Speaker 3: why we did this tour this way. A lot of
Speaker 3: times as artists we have to wait. Like myself, I'm
Speaker 3: a performance artist. That's I came from the theater theater.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got that in my notes.
Speaker 3: Yes, I majored in theater in high school and in
Speaker 3: college HSBCU, I did Grammlin State University GEUS.
Speaker 1: I can't say that, right you round upon right?
Speaker 3: Ought you knew what college is that. I went to
Speaker 3: Grammley and State University, Louisiana HBCU.
Speaker 5: I majored in theater there, and I did that also
Speaker 5: in high school.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 3: I had a lot of fun acting and creating. You know,
Speaker 3: I forgot the question though, what was the full question?
Speaker 3: Do you remember?
Speaker 4: Ship?
Speaker 2: I forgot too, I was. I was into your answer.
Speaker 6: H What do we say performing or perform recording?
Speaker 5: I prefer performing.
Speaker 3: I think recording gives you an opportunity to perfect a moment,
Speaker 3: where performing gives you an opportunity to just create a moment.
Speaker 3: That's why we don't have any cameras in our shows,
Speaker 3: or the press can't have any uh equipment, They can
Speaker 3: only have.
Speaker 5: Digital What was it.
Speaker 2: You said, You said disposable cameras.
Speaker 3: Yes, we want to be able to create that moment,
Speaker 3: to stay in your mind and urge the audience to
Speaker 3: write about it, you know, because I think that it's
Speaker 3: very special, takes us back to another time, and I
Speaker 3: love performing a lot. It's where I get the immediate
Speaker 3: response from the audience. It's kind of like we become
Speaker 3: one living, breathing organism together. It's a feeling that cannot
Speaker 3: be duplicated anywhere else, not even on an album. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's different. There's a special feeling from a record, recorded
Speaker 3: record or an album because you get to kind of
Speaker 3: relive that over and over again. But the performance is
Speaker 3: one time, and I really like that kind of energy.
Speaker 3: It changes something from Yeah, from another point of view,
Speaker 3: listening to it over and over again, you get the
Speaker 3: perfected version.
Speaker 5: But performing is just once. It's only that time.
Speaker 2: No cameras is crazy.
Speaker 1: It's like the lyricist lounge type of thing, right, but.
Speaker 4: Does it No, It's it's actually better because the crowd
Speaker 4: is completely.
Speaker 2: You forget because we can't from the era.
Speaker 4: When it was no phones, right, and forget it when
Speaker 4: you when you do showing now with no phones, niggas.
Speaker 3: Can't catch nobody crowd surfing with them phones right.
Speaker 2: Hard you try to jump in with the phones, they.
Speaker 3: Had to like protect the phone for.
Speaker 1: So let me ask, because we live in real time, right?
Speaker 1: We live in real time?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: So meaning like you know, you guys can perform a
Speaker 1: new album and can see there's great reactions to certain songs,
Speaker 1: but there's like subtle reactions to other songs. Do y'all
Speaker 1: live in real time and say, let me chuck this
Speaker 1: song or let me like replace this or what do
Speaker 1: you do like? Or do you stick with it?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: How does this go? Because we live in real time, really,
Speaker 1: we can switch the record like and an album could
Speaker 1: be live in a sense now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I haven't experienced any of that yet. Everyone
Speaker 3: is so present because there are no phones that you
Speaker 3: are absorbing every single thing, you know, and we're doing
Speaker 3: the same thing too. We're absorbing the audience's reaction and
Speaker 3: becoming even more inspired by that. What do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, not changing nothing, but and is it live band
Speaker 2: or DJ?
Speaker 4: It's like a mix okay, so we like nobody's heard
Speaker 4: anything before anyway, playing with some of the beats live,
Speaker 4: you got to see it. But like, like, like performing
Speaker 4: with her is something I've never done, Like I've done DJing,
Speaker 4: I've wrapped once.
Speaker 2: I got on.
Speaker 4: We we went first before the store, we went to Japan.
Speaker 4: We did perform. We did a whole tour in Japan,
Speaker 4: just practiced. And the crew is called the Cannabinoids. First
Speaker 4: of all, shout out to the cannabin.
Speaker 17: S.
Speaker 2: One job born, Rob Free.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't want to see anybody are seeing
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Leon Brother.
Speaker 1: It's a crew.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 4: She has the most talented motherfuckers on stage with her.
Speaker 5: We're all we're all digital band.
Speaker 3: We've been performing together for a long time and Alchemists
Speaker 3: came in and just became one part of the thing.
Speaker 4: So she has aliens on stage with her. Everybody on
Speaker 4: stage is like, I feel like an imposter because I'm
Speaker 4: just I'm just triggering.
Speaker 5: So like that's fair.
Speaker 4: We went to Japan first, We did a chour in Japan.
Speaker 4: We did, and when we went to Japan, we didn't
Speaker 4: play the new album. We played like two songs.
Speaker 3: Maybe play two songs, two singles.
Speaker 2: That were testing out the theory of what just.
Speaker 3: Out like our chemistry because we performed totally live on
Speaker 3: digital instruments.
Speaker 4: But you guys had never been so you were that's
Speaker 4: what you're like it out. It's a band like her
Speaker 4: crew to cannabinoids. They are insane. It's everybody has their
Speaker 4: own like production station.
Speaker 2: Were you intimidated by that? Of course everybody is like insane, understand.
Speaker 3: That, but you know, once he gets out there, she.
Speaker 4: Pushed me like, okay, shout out to exile, shout to
Speaker 4: a rad beats you know about the like PC, right,
Speaker 4: I've never done that. So when she had the idea,
Speaker 4: she was like, I want you to play on your
Speaker 4: MP and trigger the beats and like join in with us.
Speaker 2: I was nervous, you know, because that's not my world.
Speaker 2: But she she's the type. She said, you're gonna be
Speaker 2: You'll be ayad.
Speaker 4: And we went to Japan and it was insane, like,
Speaker 4: I'm playing beats out the n P I never played before.
Speaker 2: Triggering ship in sync. Well, the best one is playing
Speaker 2: the drums.
Speaker 4: Job Warren is playing the drums did of course, but.
Speaker 2: You know what she told me. You know what she
Speaker 2: told me, if you fuck up.
Speaker 4: Keep going. She's from the jazz. Well that's analog. She
Speaker 4: fuck up, she's jazz and theater. So she told me
Speaker 4: from the gate, if you fuck up, just keep going,
Speaker 4: pick it up, just keep doing.
Speaker 2: Just no fuck ups.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone knows what you're doing.
Speaker 2: Right. The audience is a nose that gave me because
Speaker 2: you are weird than the audience nose. I've never done it,
Speaker 2: so it gets me confidence, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And he's amazing on stage. I wouldn't know that you've
Speaker 3: never done that before.
Speaker 2: Never.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it seems like such an amazing collaboration.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have so much fun.
Speaker 4: It was great. And now the tours now is like
Speaker 4: we were able to go to Japan first and like
Speaker 4: tune it up.
Speaker 2: Now we're playing the whole new album. You should probably
Speaker 2: go back to Japan and give them the other the
Speaker 2: now the refined version.
Speaker 3: We'll do that too, you know, we're playing it by ear.
Speaker 3: I'm a very intuitive artist and I'm just lucky to
Speaker 3: have people around me who are patient with my pace
Speaker 3: as I am creating. And you have been that so much,
Speaker 3: and I thank you and the Canalinoids and all the
Speaker 3: other members of my Badu world, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: It's a labor of love. Everybody sacrifices so many things too.
Speaker 3: You know, when you have a head like I don't
Speaker 3: know who the head of this thing is. But when
Speaker 3: there's a it could be a duel like us, but
Speaker 3: when there's a vision and the main concern is getting
Speaker 3: everybody on the same page so that everybody moves in
Speaker 3: the same way, and you look like you have a
Speaker 3: group of people here that really believe in what you're
Speaker 3: doing and have found fun inside of it. And that's
Speaker 3: what it's all about, and that's what we try to
Speaker 3: continue to create within our And.
Speaker 1: So did I name it like a new group or
Speaker 1: it's not. It's like, it's just.
Speaker 3: I'm a live performer. So what people know about Eric
Speaker 3: Ibadu are these albums. But what I do for a
Speaker 3: living is perform live. I put out an album when
Speaker 3: I have something to say. But for the past thirty years,
Speaker 3: I've been performing eight months out of the year with
Speaker 3: no brief I have never taken a vacation. Wow, because
Speaker 3: it's what I do and I've been traveling the world
Speaker 3: doing that. It may not get a lot of press
Speaker 3: or everything, but I don't need a validation of that.
Speaker 3: It is so I can live and survive as a
Speaker 3: human spirit person.
Speaker 2: That's what feeds my therapy.
Speaker 3: It feeds, it feeds me. I don't have to feed
Speaker 3: off of others because I have that, and that's what
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: Can we see a future in a second project?
Speaker 3: I see so many projects, so many different other things.
Speaker 3: He's a genius, and he doesn't want to talk about it.
Speaker 3: He's trying to play this sweet old ship. I don't know.

Speaker 3: not familiar with that album.
Speaker 2: I was gonna be wrong.
Speaker 5: You think it's gonna be Tyron.
Speaker 3: I think Tyrone is my least album to perform. The song, yeah, yeah, perform.
Speaker 3: I think it's the most popular one, and people yelled
Speaker 3: it out in the middle of ship.
Speaker 2: Shut the fun up. I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2: I'm not like, shut the fuck up kind of in
Speaker 2: your mind a little bit.
Speaker 5: I'm just like, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 2: I just said kind of in your mind kind of
Speaker 2: that sounded like that a little bit in.
Speaker 5: Your mind in my mind a little bit. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tyrone is so popular that I've written all these
Speaker 3: really thoughtful lyrics over all time, and it seems like
Speaker 3: a joke God is playing on me. Right, Called tyrone
Speaker 3: is what they want to hear. We don't care about that.
Speaker 3: We want to hear called tyrone. So it's hard to
Speaker 3: get out of the call tyrone box or any of
Speaker 3: any kind of box when people really enjoyed and championed
Speaker 3: what you've done. But working with Al has given me
Speaker 3: an opportunity to at least be seen in another light,
Speaker 3: a freedom as a producer. That's what I am. And
Speaker 3: I don't really get to say that a lot because
Speaker 3: there's no.
Speaker 5: Place to say it. But in his world, I'm writing
Speaker 5: Al's wave right now.
Speaker 7: Really, I think we got to say it again as
Speaker 7: a producer, Erica as a producer, yes, yeah, it always
Speaker 7: be too many together on the album.
Speaker 4: Like I was about to play her beat, she was like,
Speaker 4: let me see that ship came to the NPS, started
Speaker 4: pressing keys, and I was just like, yo, go ahead,
Speaker 4: and she remixed the beat that I made, like like
Speaker 4: your beat ain't ship, and made.
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
Speaker 4: Effect it's on the album, Like, she made a whole
Speaker 4: different beat to it. And then I played my beat
Speaker 4: and she was like, I like this one too. I enjoyed.
Speaker 3: I enjoy making beats, I enjoy creating, and I felt
Speaker 3: safe in that space with you because unfortunately, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm in a room full of dudes and some girls,
Speaker 3: but it's very hard to be in a left brain
Speaker 3: game as a girl, you know, because I enjoyed it
Speaker 3: just as much and.
Speaker 5: I am just as good.
Speaker 4: M h.
Speaker 2: Literally yeah, And you.
Speaker 3: Don't get to really say that a lot because not
Speaker 3: a lot of people are like Alchemist, who knows that
Speaker 3: he has a history of beautiful things behind him and
Speaker 3: that me saying that I love what I do doesn't
Speaker 3: take anything away from him. And that's you know, it's
Speaker 3: a different kind of thing that I've dealt with in
Speaker 3: my life. In this world of music, it's a very
Speaker 3: left brain, male dominated thing, and I get it. I
Speaker 3: also respect it, but I'm also here, I also have
Speaker 3: something to say in this space. Yea, in this space.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, Oh, how did you come up with Alchemists?
Speaker 7: Because when she was talking, that's that's I never thought
Speaker 7: of that.
Speaker 2: It was like a friend when I was young gave
Speaker 2: me the name and then based on the book. Nah,
Speaker 2: that book is great. Yeah, it is a great book
Speaker 2: to read. That book. It's a great book.
Speaker 1: Great, you can read it one night.
Speaker 2: In my life, you can read it one night. Yeah. No,
Speaker 2: it's an easy book to read. Yeah, great book.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I take it serious, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But someone just said call yourself, my friend. Yeah, rest
Speaker 4: in peace, my man Bernard. Yeah, it was like, that's
Speaker 4: your name, alchemist.
Speaker 2: But did you know what that meant over time? You
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Not in that moment.
Speaker 4: No, no, okay, it sounded good, right, was it when
Speaker 4: you and the Hooligans after that, like a couple of
Speaker 4: years after, but he was around us around those days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we can't bloss over the Hooligans. That was
Speaker 2: early listen early.

Speaker 7: records to find the Hooligans records that I have.
Speaker 2: I have that record, Yeah, I have doubles. Yeah, ef
Speaker 2: I e eighth EFN is a hip hopologist. I could

Speaker 2: We hung out. Yeah, I was bugging er yeah, Lemon
Speaker 2: actress back then.
Speaker 1: That I want to thank both of y'all, man, because
Speaker 1: I don't know. Did you have to do an interview
Speaker 1: yet together?
Speaker 2: Nothing else?
Speaker 1: Just the first in this is special.
Speaker 2: This is your first interview together. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Like I wanted to brag on Twitter it's so bad,
Speaker 1: but I was like, you know what, I don't even
Speaker 1: want somebody to hate on me.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: This is the one time, you know, every guest that
Speaker 1: we go on, I go on Twitter and I asked it,
Speaker 1: but do you have any questions?
Speaker 2: But I don't want.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm listening to the algorithms and I'm saying,
Speaker 1: IM gonna skip that question on Twitter because I go
Speaker 1: on black Twitter and it's not it's not the best.
Speaker 2: Sometimes what you ever go on best?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it, but it's very negative.
Speaker 3: Jo, It's very it's very negative.
Speaker 5: It is so some positive and hilarious and it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: So you're going you go on black Twitter. I look,
Speaker 1: can I go on? Listen? I really need to claim
Speaker 1: black Twitter like like it's it's like a it's like
Speaker 1: a it's a really different place.
Speaker 2: This regular Twitter. Right, I'm just being honest.
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to be on any particular.
Speaker 2: Twitter, right, but when you go on Twitter, you gotta.
Speaker 3: Go on Twitter. Yes, I guess I'm on black Twitter.
Speaker 3: So I'll be getting canceled.
Speaker 2: Everywhere.
Speaker 1: I heard you say that. I heard you say that
Speaker 1: that you felt this was a year ago or nine
Speaker 1: months ago that you said that you felt like it
Speaker 1: was tough to be an artist because of this cancelation thing.
Speaker 1: Do you feel still feel like that?
Speaker 3: Like, I think it's the kind of equilateral against across
Speaker 3: the board. Now you know where the fans have just
Speaker 3: as much. Say I want to say fans to say that,
Speaker 3: I want to say the people who are responding to
Speaker 3: the music in the art. It's not just fans, it's
Speaker 3: human beings who are very intelligent. When we are on
Speaker 3: equal playing field, everyone is the celebrity.
Speaker 2: So right, even the fan fan can't be Yeah, So.
Speaker 3: If you choose to play that game, then you are
Speaker 3: willing to be challenged in some type of way or
Speaker 3: be held accountable in some type of way. And it's
Speaker 3: not a bad thing, you know, because everyone keeps growing
Speaker 3: and learning and talking and dialoguing. And the purpose of
Speaker 3: my art is to create dialogue. That's what I want
Speaker 3: to do. I want could be chaotic, but guess what
Speaker 3: it sells. Bottle puts the in sense, oh ship about
Speaker 3: said you didn't hear the bottom.
Speaker 1: An aggressive cub.
Speaker 2: It sells this.
Speaker 3: So whether the people are talking about negativity or positively
Speaker 3: or in any kind of way, it's going to create
Speaker 3: a dialogue that will lead you directly to my pussy.
Speaker 3: This is just the way it goes.
Speaker 5: And I'm so sorry, but Buster Rhymes wouldn't like that either.
Speaker 2: No, he doesn't.
Speaker 4: I mean, what is it?
Speaker 3: It's just a word, pussy? What's the word? I mean,
Speaker 3: it's I'm so sorry I didn't create it.
Speaker 2: Listen, just stop being worried about pussy.

Speaker 5: Pussy, but y'all couldn't say nigga.
Speaker 2: I don't think pussy came up, mister. I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: honest with you.
Speaker 1: I think but we were, you know, we were jogging,
Speaker 1: we were doing things, but it was unnecessarily in words
