Speaker 8: how you drive?

36
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes? Okay, you know, sometimes I do, and sometimes it's

37
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: just grace it happens.

38
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go.

39
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to blow out. Instance, the old Googles

40
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: don't like that, but I'm not. But I'm not kidding, Okay,

41
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to say it ain't on me.

42
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: We got so much of this sit the house. Yeah,

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 3: when you first put it out a couple of years ago.

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: After now, you said that during your speech that this

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: was an award that you wanted for a long time.

46
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: Was true that long after since you know, I didn't

47
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: even know that you could get an award for that,

48
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 2: but just wanted to be recognized for the canvas that

49
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: I create. When I go out, man, it's really important

50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: to me. It's my therapy. You know, I can't leave

51
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: without halving mind. Like I said in the speech shit together.

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: You know, it's just something that came with my head.

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's a nagging thing. You know, make sure

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 2: you shit it together. And sometimes when I don't try

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: really hard, and sometimes gracefully comes together. I guess maybe

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: because of my intention, the fashion gods gave me the

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: keys out here in these streets.

58
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: We get it from your mom and grandma de.

59
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely colding, right. They used to call her Twiggy

60
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: in high school after the model because she was just

61
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: so original and she had bleached her hair white. She's

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 2: a really skinny kid with big eyes. It's really creative.

63
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: And how difficult is it for you to have so

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: much of a fashion sense, right? Because you travel a lot.

65
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: How much luggage do you have to carry? How much

66
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: do you go shopping? I know that's what I'm saying.

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: You carry a lot of freaking lug like her luggage

68
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: has her own bus.

69
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: Well, I'll explain that when you're your own stylist and

70
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: your own makeup person and your own hair person. And

71
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 2: then I do the band's wardrobe, and you know, they're

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: just instruments and all kinds of things. So I'll carry

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: a production so I like to see the vision all

74
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: the way through and have my hands in it. There's

75
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: a word for that, an artist who has their hands

76
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: in every aspect of the work of the vision. It's

77
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: called the all tool. I think a beut oh I

78
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: r our tour and that's just describe it as an

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: artist or a visionary who has an idea and has

80
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: to see it all the way through in each department

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: because they have the ability to do that.

82
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 3: So you write a song and you know what the

83
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: video gonna look like, You know what you're gonna well

84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: you okay, Wow.

85
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 7: You talked last night about your best friend who accompanied

86
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 7: you to the awards and afraid of him introducing you

87
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 7: to a lot of the fashion houses and stuff like that,

88
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 7: where fashion house houses always like open and like rushing

89
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 7: to support you in all of your creative ideas or

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 7: did you have to Was there a fight, because a

91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 7: lot of artists talk about it being a fight trying

92
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 7: to get into the couture houses.

93
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 4: You know it was.

94
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: I was out since nineteen ninety seven, and social media

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: was really the opening to a lot of these relationships

96
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: because they could now directly get to the artists where

97
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: they probably didn't know how to get to the ones

98
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: that they wanted to feature before. But the first person

99
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: that reached out to me was Tom Ford. Tom Ford

100
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: wanted me to do a perfume at White Pachuli, which

101
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: was his Natural Innocence Flavors. This was two thousand and two. Yeah,

102
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: so that's tom Ford and Tom Ford's from Texas as well,

103
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: so we kind of formed a bond. And I guess

104
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: as I evolved my style other houses or artists because

105
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: it's really the creative director. Yes, it's the person. He

106
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: is the He is the house at the time because

107
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: his vision is trusted most. And they started, you know,

108
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: kind of paying attention to you know, the the guardliness

109
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: or the freedness or the hobo sheikness. It's been called

110
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: all kinds of things, but yeah, they called notice. And

111
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: next was Roberto Tichi and he was the creative director

112
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: of Jivnshi at the time, and that was my first

113
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: full campaign and he let me co style with him

114
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: and put things together. And I think it just after

115
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: that I was kind of, you know, I was on

116
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: the radar for certain things. Definitely the page to go

117
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: to if you want to know what's next, and.

118
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 6: How do you pick?

119
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 7: Like last night you were in Tom Brown, or the

120
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 7: other day at the CFDA A Wards, you were in

121
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 7: Tom Brown, how do you pick which designers in which

122
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 7: houses now you want to work with? Because I'm sure

123
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 7: they're all banging.

124
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 6: You can do anything you want now, right.

125
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: And I picked Tom specifically for this event because he's

126
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 2: the chairman of the event, yes, and he's he's also

127
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: a very very good friend of mine and his art

128
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: is just so amazing. So I thought, since I was

129
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: being honored, I would also honor him by wearing one

130
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: of his pieces. And I chose one from Runway, uh

131
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: and a really beautiful architectural shape, really pretty. And I said,

132
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: but I need something huh, futuristic ancient to go on top,

133
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: you know. And I saw this AI. I think he

134
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: saw this post this morning. I'm not sure, but I

135
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: saw this AI rendering of this this head piece, and

136
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: I reached out to the person and I told him

137
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: this is really beautiful. I would love to challenge a

138
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: designer to bring this to life in the in the

139
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: five D world for D world, and he said okay.

140
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: So I called a friend, Chris Habana, who does a

160
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: Have you ever thought about just trying to talk low

161
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: and soft just because you don't even talk.

162
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 5: Like that, you know, I don't know you want to,

163
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 5: but I was an ass.

164
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 6: You know, I will never blow the incident again either

165
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 6: when it comes.

166
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: You ever thought about doing your whole line, like a

167
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: full clothing line for America? I do from Ruda to

168
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: Tutor and everything in between, and I have.

169
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: Thought about that. I had a chance to practice that

170
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: with Marnie and French Francesco Riso. Uh. We did a

171
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: collapse Marnie and last year a lot of things happened

172
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: for me in fashion last year, you know, there was

173
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: the last two years. It was my first fashion week.

174
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: So that's when I really started to catch the bug.

175
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: And I met Francesco because we went to the met

176
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: ball together and we drew up some things and talked

177
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: about some things and had a cat so line that

178
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: came out and these leads are part of it.

179
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 7: The collab was everywhere. It was, Yes, everybody was in

180
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 7: y'all collab in Marnie. That was your first fashion week? Yes,

00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 7: like you attending or like.

182
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 6: What do you mean by that?

183
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 4: Yeah?

184
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: It was my first fashion week in twenty twenty three?

185
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, and.

186
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 7: That was so during that time that collab is now two?

187
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 7: Is that collab the colab when you got to work

188
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 7: with your daughter Puma too with Marnie or was it

189
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 7: a difference?

190
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: Yes?

191
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: Okay, yes?

192
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 7: And how did that feel because it's like, okay, we

193
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 7: see lebron and Bronnie on the court and they're like,

194
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 7: you know, but like this is your lane, and now

195
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 7: your daughter's coming into it and y'all are working with

196
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 7: a fashion house.

197
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 6: How did you feel just doing that with her?

198
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: Oh? It was surreal. It was a dream, you know,

199
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: because Puma is such an individual person that I didn't

200
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: know what direction she wanted to go in, and I

201
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: still don't. You know, she's she's twenty, so she's kind

202
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: of finding her way. And sometimes when your kid is

203
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: an artist, they don't want to follow your shadow. They

204
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 2: want to find their own thing, you know. But she

205
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: was cool with supporting me and standing beside me, and

206
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: she's like, Mom, I don't care, this.

207
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: Is for you, you know, So what are you dress?

208
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Like? You?

209
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: If they tried like what happened with the line.

210
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: Could you what they got to do with what we're

211
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: talking about?

212
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: Because even I feel like I feel like I feel

213
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 3: like everything.

214
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 8: You do is spirit art, even down in your fashion.

215
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 8: So I don't know if you don't embody that spirit,

216
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 8: I don't even know how that would even.

217
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: Man, you are such a wise person, you really are.

218
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: Ever since I've met you. You tap into things so well, Yeah,

219
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: I approach everything the same way. It's a feeling I feel. Yeah, yeah,

220
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: So would.

221
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 5: You do your own line. Do you want to do

222
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: your line? I know that's not something that's in your

223
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 5: right now.

224
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely, would you have the time for it?

225
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 3: Oh?

226
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would make time.

227
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 7: This is my last Fashion Questions Awards.

228
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 6: I didn't know.

229
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 5: I didn't know.

230
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: If you want to get to I've been trying to

231
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: get this award since I was because I'm loaded over

232
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: to ask me everything. I've been playing with paper dolls,

233
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 2: trying to make sure that people, you know, really appreciate

234
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: my my work. It's kind of like putting putting your

235
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: picture on the refrigerator so your mom sees it, and

236
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 2: you never respect your mom to say nothing bad. So

237
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: it's such a shock every time. It's always new when

238
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: people are disrespectful and mean.

239
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 6: And disrespectful of me to you. Yeah, I'll suck them up,

240
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 6: like you're going against to do that to you.

241
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: I mean they try it, you know what I'm saying.

242
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: But I'm annointed and protected and I don't have a heart,

243
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: so they can't. You know, they can't penetrate me.

244
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: You don't have a heart.

245
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 6: And paper up.

246
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: You don't have to take notes about this.

247
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 7: I saw online you were doing some interviews just after

248
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 7: their wards, and you were in some Jordan's. Yes were there,

249
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 7: that was a Jordan Virgil clab No, okay, it was.

250
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 7: That's not true then, because they were saying it was

251
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 7: like an unreleased It.

252
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 2: Was an unreleased one, but it wasn't Virgil. It was

253
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: shoe surgeon.

254
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 6: Got you, okay? People just give you like how how

Speaker 7: My mom was going crazy over the collap and they

257
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 7: were trying to figure out where, like how you even

258
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 7: got the shoes?

259
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,200

Speaker 2: Shoot, y'all zoomed in on.

263
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 7: I resumed this so because I'm like, I don't even

264
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 7: see any of Virgils, Like you know, he has the

265
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 7: thing that he does, but you know it's him.

266
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 6: I'm like, I don't see none of that.

267
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: To get busy, yeah yeah, yes, go ahead.

268
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe I'm not gonna say nothing about that nothing, but.

269
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: Damn yeah, how'd you feel about that?

270
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: It was my first time, so I'm trying to I'm

271
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: trying to throw throw off the audience so they don't

272
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: know what I told.

273
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 6: You, because I would sitting here like I want to

274
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 6: hear your answer.

275
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what we will tell y'all another time

276
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: when the news come out.

277
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 5: That's right. How do you feel about that?

278
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 8: Now, You've always been an artist that's sensitive about your ship.

279
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 8: You told that a long time ago. But you said

280
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 8: in your speech at c fd A, that is scary

281
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 8: being an artist in the social media era. So how

282
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 8: is social media made that critique worse?

283
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, it is scary. I mean, I've heard

284
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: my own kids be afraid to express and share their art.

285
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: Eric Abadu, kid is scared to share their art and

286
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: express themselves because the audience is so vicious at this point,

287
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: and they have such a huge appetite for blood, and

288
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: they want people to be disciplined and humbled and punished

289
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: for their success. Almost, it's what it seems like. So

290
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: that's why, you know, a lot of kids are afraid to,

291
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: you know, share their work or share their art or

292
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: feel like they have to come at it with some

293
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: kind of armor on, and that armor doesn't allow for

294
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: the art to truly express itself in my opinion, so

295
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: it's a scary time for art. We didn't have to

296
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: do that. We didn't have to deal with that. You know,

297
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: you heard the little comments and things but those weren't

298
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: strong enough to penetrate a strong person. But these things

299
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: are now because when people come in you in numbers.

300
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: You know, we've talked about group things so many times.

301
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: It's what It was a prediction that I made with

302
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: the windows seat in twenty ten, group think would overshadow art,

303
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: and it is right now, yes, because people can. People can.

304
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: I think it's very smart to get at the the

305
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: channels and even the whole instead of getting at the

306
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: bloggers and the people. We see artists penalizing the channels themselves,

307
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: and I think that's the smart thing, because that's what

308
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: has to change. If that doesn't, if there's no place

309
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: to do that, then then it won't be done.

310
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 5: To get back to that.

311
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: You think it'll ever get back to where people feel

312
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: comfortable releasing music or not hesitant because of the amount

313
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: of people that go at them. I mean, we see

314
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: it in everything comedy, we see it in movies, we

315
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: see it in this regular conversation. People are afraid to

316
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: be quote unquote canceled.

317
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like if it's eating if it's

318
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: feeding season, you know, you're a little bit more cautious

319
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: to go outside, you know, squirrels are not going to

320
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: try to run free and not be cautious when it's

321
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: lying season. You know, you know it's it might get

322
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: back to it if we really want ah kindness. Kindness

323
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: seems kind of boring to people, you know what I'm saying,

324
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: It's kind of boring. There's no there's people don't feel

325
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: that there could be some kind of dope of being

326
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 2: released from being kind being right.

327
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 5: Does that make you hesitant to release music?

328
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: No, not me, But you haven't dropped in fourteen years.

329
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: Fourteen years, I can make you put your phone down. Yeah,

330
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, okay, ten years.

331
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: But the album? But album since well, well, one reason.

332
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: I don't have to it's because I am a performance

333
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: artist and I've been doing that constantly for the last

334
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 2: thirty years, eight years out, eight months out of the year,

335
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: all year round.

336
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 5: I do it.

337
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: So that's what I love to do. Only put out

338
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: albums when I have something to say. I have something, yeah,

339
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 2: something pressing to say or push out. But I'm I am.

340
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: I have more than enough space to get my art

341
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: out on stage, so it's not totally necessary to put

342
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: an album for me.

343
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,960

Speaker 3: Oh, you're another artist.

360
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 5: You're not going to say, who are you?

361
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 6: You can Andre three thousand, he's a guy that's.

362
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: Do I think he'll rap again?

00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 7: I'll say, is this gonna be the clap album that

364
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 7: gets on the rap again? And also you can answer

365
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 7: do you think he'll rap again?

366
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: And and why would you say is this gonna be

367
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: the collab album? Because you're assuming that it's him? Yeah,

368
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: I'm asking you can assume whatever you want. But I

369
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, I don't know. I don't think

370
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: he has to. He's speaking with that instrument it's the

371
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: same thing. It missed, the same kind of thing. Yeah.

372
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 2: The way he make us feel when with bombs over

373
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: bag Dad is the way he makes people who are

374
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: ready for that field. It's the same thing. It's his energy.

375
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: I feel it. That's the rap, you know. To me,

376
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: he rapping to me, that's true.

377
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 8: I want to go see it. I want to go

378
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 8: see the New Blue New Blue Son tour. When he

379
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 8: performed in Brooklyn, and I felt very fulfilled, too, very fulfilled.

380
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: That I felt fulfilled because he was fulfilled. He was happy,

381
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: he was doing what he wanted to do at his

382
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: own pace. There was no urgency, you know, to be right.

383
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: He was happy with making mistakes. It was cool. I

384
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 2: really enjoyed it, and I love himprov so I was

385
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: happy he had a chance to get up there and

386
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: express himself. Because I don't know, if you understand it.

387
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: We have to do this or we may be sick

388
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: or something. Artists who use their art as therapy or

389
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: use their art as a coping mechanism, you know, helps

390
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: me with all the things that are off balanced.

391
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 5: I have to do that.

392
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: So seeing him being able to do that, because I'm

393
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: assuming that he may feel the same way I do.

394
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: It's just such a blessing to have that platform to

395
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 2: do it.

396
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 8: You know, I can see what y'all are twin flames

397
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 8: to it because he was on stage and it was

398
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 8: one part of the show where he just started going

399
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 8: making all kinds of noises and the crowd was answering

400
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 8: him back, and then he goes, I wasn't saying ship.

401
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 6: Last night. He I keep saying last night. I don't

402
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 6: know what data is coming up.

403
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 7: But he presented you with your c FD a fashion

404
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 7: that kind of word on the way that like, I

405
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 7: know you, you reached out to him to have him

406
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 7: present to you, and you guys had a conversation.

407
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: He was saying, I did well. It was a kind

408
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 2: of tricky thing. I actually reached it out to Tiana

409
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: Taylor because I think she's next. Oh yeah, I think

410
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 2: she's I think she has a really good grasp art

411
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: in fashion functional art. I'm really impressed and inspired. But

412
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: I asked her and ah, I'd asked andre before but

413
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: he didn't respond. And then they came back and told

414
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: me after I asked, you know that Andreas would said yes.

415
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: And I had to figure out how to maneuver that

416
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: you know because that meant a lot to her. Oh yes,

417
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: I want to tell her, I love you so very

418
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: much and I'm so happy that we're friends. And I

419
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: hope that that did not bring a wedge between us

420
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: in any way. But that's Andre three thousand girl and

421
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: your best friend.

422
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 3: You got to talk to people. You gotta talk to

423
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: people to get to him.

424
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: No, well sometimes, yeah, it depends, you know how busy is.

425
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 2: I'll follow proper protocol.

426
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 4: Ya.

427
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 8: How do you handle the challenge of balancing like your

428
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 8: personal expression with the expectations that your fans in the

429
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 8: music industry.

430
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: Might might place on Eric Abadu?

431
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 8: How do you how do you handle the child of

432
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 8: balancing like the personal expression with the expectation the fans

433
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 8: may have, like they might expect you to show up

434
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 8: a certain way all the time.

435
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: That's fun, you know, it's part of it's part of

436
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: the art, because this career is an art. It's what

437
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: it is. There's an art of longevity, there's an art

438
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: of conceptualizing, there's an art of building a persona. There's

439
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: an art of knowing when to divvy the art out,

440
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 2: knowing when to pull it back. It's all an art.

441
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: So what the people feel and think are very very important.

442
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 2: It's a major part of it because they decide who

443
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: and what you are. I like to surprise them. I

444
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: like to give them what they did not know they

445
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: they may have wanted it, because I hope that I'm

446
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: doing whatever I'm doing presently as well as I was

447
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 2: doing what I was doing in the past as an artist.

448
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: When did you realize that you didn't say that you

449
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: didn't give a fuck, and you said You're going to

450
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: do what you want to do. You're going to put

451
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: out what you want to put out. You don't necessarily

452
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: have to fit in the box of every artist. You

453
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: don't have to follow the platform and say this is it,

454
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: take a leave it.

455
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: When did you get to that point in the contract

456
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: negotiation in nineteen ninety seven it was never a family

457
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 2: Oh no, I mean I didn't have to do it,

458
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 2: you know, and they didn't have to.

459
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: You know.

460
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: I figured it was a partnership and I was doing

461
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: the record label of Favor. I knew who I was,

462
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: I knew what I was getting ready to do. I

463
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 2: had a mission and nothing was going to infiltrate it,

464
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: not even my own fear and doubts. And I'm still

465
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 2: on mission. Best work is still in me and I

466
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: have not accomplished whatever that is yet, because there's still

467
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 2: this feeling of abuse and greenness and gross.

468
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: When did you realize it was on divine assignment in

469
00:25:58,960 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 3: your life?

470
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? I always thought I was very very special, very

471
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: annoyingted or narcissistic one because I just believed it. I

472
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: always have. Nobody can tell me that that it's not true.

473
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 2: That I have a mission and I am. I am annointed,

474
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: and I am special and I am blessed. And that's

475
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: why I choose service over anything because I know things.

476
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 2: Some things come easier to me than they will to

477
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: someone else. So I already know.

478
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: When you look at other artists without saying names, do

479
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: you see it in them like they're selling themselves out?

480
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 5: I know they're different. Do you see that?

481
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: And a lot of artists like they're selling themselves out

482
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: for a check or selling themselves out for a label

483
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: where you see they can go something different?

484
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 5: Do you see that a lot?

485
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: And Bee?

486
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't ever look at that. Yeah,

487
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: selling themselves out for I don't know. People do what

488
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 2: they have to do, you know, And it's not a race,

489
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: don't all have to be at the same understanding at

490
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: the same time, you know, everybody, all artists don't have

491
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: to be responsible for your kids, you know. Yeah, so

492
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean people doing what they have

493
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: to do. I remember needing money too and doing things.

494
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: It's strange things with a piece of change, you know,

495
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: like performing and venues I didn't want to perform in

496
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: or uh yeah, so I don't know. I can't judge that.

497
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: But what do you think about that?

498
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: I think sometimes they got to realize their assignment. I

499
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: think we all go through that sometimes realize while we're there,

500
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: you know. And what made me think about it is,

501
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, when j Cole jumped into that beef, he

502
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: came back and said this is not for me, and

503
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, people isshed on them and said this, that

504
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: and the other. But that was his assignment and you

505
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: can't be mad assignment. And even me, as a fan,

506
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: was kind of he was on a mission.

507
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: I understand that. Sometimes I believe that, you know, being

508
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 2: a mission or your assignment is not always to do

509
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: something heavenly and great and good. Sometimes it's to create

510
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 2: some chaos so that you may shake things up. Fertilizer

511
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: is put into a pot to disturb the roots. It's

512
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: poisoning them so they have to move. So yeah, I

513
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: can't really judge it. You don't know what somebody's mission

514
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: is because it all counts, it's all matter.

515
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: And you don't know what journey God got them on.

516
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 3: You don't. You don't get michaelm Max without Malcolm.

517
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: Little, That's right. You don't get eric About without I'm

518
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: trying to think it was.

519
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 6: Street name.

520
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: You don't get eric about without butchery knife, Betty, that's

521
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: my new Monarcha.

522
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 8: Everybody, when when you said that you was, you knew

523
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 8: you was of service. Did you know what that was

524
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 8: going to look like? Did you know it was gonna

525
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 8: be music?

526
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: Actually I did not, But I don't consider that the service.

527
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: I consider music my privilege because I'm using the audience

528
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: as therapists, a thousand million therapists to get my idea

529
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: out of my thing. Out services are the things that

530
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: I don't charge money for that I do because I

531
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: feel like it's the right thing, not because of a

532
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: promise of heaven or or accolades or trophy, just but

533
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: because of integrity and the connection between two people. And

534
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: when people hear this, they don't believe that that nobody

535
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: believes that. It's so strange to me that people don't

536
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: believe that that kind of human can't exist, you know,

537
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: they don't believe it. Maybe it's strange. Is it strange

538
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: that I don't need anything back or I don't ask

539
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: for anything when I pray? Is it strange?

540
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 8: I don't think so, no, because I think to me,

541
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 8: prayer is for gratitude. I find myself when I'm praying,

542
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 8: I'm just saying thank you. And I guess, coming from

543
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 8: where I come from, a dirt road and Mosko in

544
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 8: the soide Caroline, I'm always felt good. I feel like

545
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 8: whatever God has given me in that moment is what

546
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 8: I'm supposed to have, and I'm grateful for that.

547
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 2: It seems like it's becoming more of a general consensus

548
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: that we don't need anything. We're realizing that that we

549
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: don't need anything, and the biggest gift we probably need

550
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 2: is peace of mind, you know. And I'm rewarded with

551
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: peace of mind when I do service for others for free,

552
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: for nothing, just because right there, peace of mind. That's

553
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: what we just what the green juice for, what they for?

554
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: What the music is for? What the singing is for money,

555
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: is for bitches, is full one point to kids and

556
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: husband and house and cars for we all looking for

557
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: peace of mind, and that's how I get mine the

558
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: most service.

559
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: Do people take advantage of that though? Sometimes?

560
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Absolutely, but that's none of my business.

561
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 7: Absolutely, were there points, like bag Lady, I was saying

562
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 7: earlier in the room that I remember when bag Lady

563
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 7: for me started hitting differently and I was listening to

564
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 7: it and it was like, Ooh, I get it now.

565
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 7: When I was younger, I was just listening to it

566
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 7: because it was played in my house and I love

567
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 7: the song, but I literally remember that feeling for you,

568
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 7: were there points in your life for you had to

569
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 7: be like ooh, I get it, like I feel it

570
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 7: bag Lady, or like.

571
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 6: Was this song of service for someone else?

572
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: You mean feeling my own song?

573
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 7: You're feeling your just even before Bad Lady was created. Yeah,

574
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 7: maybe there was a time in your life that you know,

575
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 7: created or inspired the song. When did you get out

576
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 7: of the bag Lady phase? And what did that feel

577
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 7: like for you?

578
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 3: She has a lot of baggage, so she's trying to

579
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 3: see if did you have too or was it just

580
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 3: a song?

581
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 7: What I'm saying is what I realized is number one.

582
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 7: With my mom, I always I never understood why she

583
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 7: couldn't be happy about certain things. And then I got

584
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 7: older and I'm like, man, you carrying so much stuff.

585
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 7: I tell all the time, like just let that go,

586
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 7: like we can handle that.

587
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 5: Men have told Lauren that she needs healing.

588
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 6: This with Queen.

589
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: A couple of men did that to Lauren. They said,

590
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: I'll spend the block, but you need to heal. You

591
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,479
Speaker 1: need to work on yourself.

592
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: Who said this to you?

593
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 6: First of all? The two people that said it to me,

594
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 6: they ain't even They probably can't even spell hell.

595
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: So so what y'all think about the two guys, I

596
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: think they're right on the journey. She's on the journey.

597
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: And the two men that you respect, one of them

598
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: are respect told you that you need to work on yourself. Yes,

599
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: as an insult or as in encouragement and love.

600
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 6: The second one I think it was and deflecting the first.

601
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

602
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 7: The first one I think it was like he really cares,

603
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 7: Like that's why when he said it, I was like, Okay,

604
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 7: I hear it.

605
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 6: I'm in a point in my life now where I

606
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 6: can do the accountability.

607
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: Does he need to work on himself as well?

608
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 6: Yes he does?

609
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: Does he know?

610
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 6: Yes he does?

611
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: Okay, cool? Second one really know, like it's you really

612
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: know he got to work on hisself.

613
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 6: I don't even want nothing to do with that, Like

614
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 6: it's bad.

615
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 7: But I asked that because I just feel like, as

616
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 7: I got older and realized how much you do care,

617
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 7: especially emotionally, sometimes it weighs into other things and it

618
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 7: closes doors, or it cuts off relationships, or you just

619
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 7: miss out on good things. And every time I listen

620
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 7: to that song, I'm like, man, how does she know

621
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 7: that people was going to need this?

622
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. You know, I was writing what I felt,

623
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: you know, in my heart, and you know I did

624
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: hear it later And I'm talking to myself, my future self.

625
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 7: Where were you at at that time of your life

626
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 7: when you were talking to your future self? Like, what

627
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 7: was the transition you were trying to make?

628
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: I think I was transitioning out of a relationship where

629
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 2: I was not happy about it. Yeah, and realizing that

630
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 2: I had to leave some things behind, some parts of

631
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: me behind. So it felt like a funeral of sorts,

632
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: you know, like because you have a party, you have

633
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 2: to die. Every time you evolve, you got to leave

634
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 2: it back there. You know, you want it because it's familiar,

635
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: and a lot of times we like to resort to

636
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 2: the familiar, even if it's toxic. Yeah, So you have

637
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: to leave that corpse, that beautiful old you has to

638
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 2: be left, and you have to walk forward and I

639
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: look back. That's the hardest part, not leaving the people,

640
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: but it's leaving your own ways and you.

641
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a lot of discipline.

642
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: It is. It is.

643
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 8: When did you get to the point where you knew

644
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 8: you you had? When did you get to the point

645
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 8: where you loved every version of yourself?

646
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

647
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 2: I don't know when that happened, but I definitely do. Yeah.

648
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 2: I look forward to waking up and getting to do things,

649
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 2: getting to experience, getting to test out my kindness. You know,

650
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 2: I prayed for kindness. I was like, I wanna practice kindness.

651
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: You know, my last big whatever meltdown we were going

652
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: through twenty twenty or somewhere, I just wanna praxe kindness.

653
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 2: Two or three days later, I went to the airport.

654
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: My ticket was wrong, my bags got put somewhere else.

655
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: They were left on the tarmac of all bags mine.

656
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: The lady was talking to me crazy, asked me, h, y,

657
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 2: this is first class. You can't put your you know

658
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: that whole routine. It was everything that was hard. M

659
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: So I was assuming that the creator was saying, we'll

660
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: here practice on this MM if you wanna practice kindness,

661
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: prac here, I'll give you some things to practice some

662
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: cause you just don't get to beat that.

663
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 5: How did that work out?

664
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: Worked out great?

665
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 3: Some parts from the last time. Mama wanted to pull.

666
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: Out a gun at the airport, but I just settled

667
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 2: for having my fist balled up like Arthur. And yeah,

668
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: I got through it because I kind of it took

669
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 2: me a little bit to realize what was happening, Like,

670
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 2: wait a minute, I see what I see what this is.

671
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 2: I see what that said, you know, And.

672
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't see you getting outside of your vibe,

673
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 5: your zone.

674
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 3: What vibe?

Speaker 2: about it.

677
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 5: I don't. But every time I see you, you just

678
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 5: seen mellow, chill and at peace. I don't.

679
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 2: This is the place to be mellow chilling, at peace.

680
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 2: There's no reason in here to be any other kind

681
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: of way. If anybody else comes on y'all show without this.

682
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 2: Call me just shine a light on that.

683
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 8: You're also playing Lucille in the Netflix movie The Piano Lesson.

684
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 3: Were you a fan of the play.

685
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: I went to u as HBC Grammling State University. I

686
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 2: was a theater major. I was a desbian. So we

687
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 2: did a lot of August Wilson material, Lorraine's Hands, Lorraine Hansbury,

688
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: h a myriad of black artists, play rights. But we

689
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 2: did do that play as well. And Lucille's part is

690
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: very tiny, you know. But the most important role I

691
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 2: played was composing music for the for the movie. Malcolm Washington,

692
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 2: who is Denzel's Sun, is directing and he called me

693
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: and asked if I would uh put together some music

694
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: for it. And I call my very good friend Daniel Jones.

695
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: Got restless, so safe journey Daniel Jones. He came and

696
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 2: put some beautiful pieces together nineteen thirties and I wrote

697
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: lyrics over them. Wow, and they're they're used in the

698
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: movie The Piano Lessons on Netflix.

699
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 8: So before we get this collaboration album, I think November eighth,

700
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 8: right eight, So before we get this collaboration album, we're

701
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 8: getting original music on this soundtrack.

702
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, nineteen twenties thirties, so there's an acquired taste

703
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 2: period piece, period piece?

704
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 3: Does acting? Does acting feel like restricted? Does it feel

705
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 3: like it's restricting you in any way?

706
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 5: Or no?

707
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: It just feels like work. Okay, yeah, my touring and

708
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 2: music doesn't feel like work, But acting does I feel

709
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: like work?

710
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 8: I can't even see you on the say it feel

711
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 8: like you don't seem like the hurry up and wait tipe,

712
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 8: like you want to be doing something like.

713
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: He Yeah, I do. I always I got something that

714
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring an easel and some pain. I'm you know,

715
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: I really miss my kids being little. That really took

716
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 2: up a lot of mind playtime. I just want to

717
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: play all the time, make something, play, do something, and

718
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: I have to carry everything with me to make that happen.

719
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: Like if I'm working on a movie set, because there

720
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: are long hours and I should be reading over my lines,

721
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: but I always wait and do it the last minute. Yeah,

722
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: but no, I don't really dig that too much being

723
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: an actor in a film. I like theater though. I

724
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: think that's a wonderful place. I like the immediate connection

725
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: between you and the artists.

726
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: And you only get like one take to do it

727
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: when you're on that stage.

728
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it, that's what's beautiful about it.

729
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, one stop he producing the piano lesson right. Yes,

730
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: was he involved like he was.

731
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 2: Around, but he stepped back and let his children work. Yeah.

732
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 3: What do you learn from your children now now that

733
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 3: they're grown?

734
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: Oh, so many things. Like I told you guys, there

735
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 2: are definitely improvements on my design. Puma is at a

736
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 2: place now at twenty that I was thirty before. I

737
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: was at her level of understanding and emotional intelligence and

738
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: compassion for people. Integrity, yeah, discipline. Yeah, I was still

739
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 2: a child kind of at twenty. I learned a lot

740
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 2: from them. And they aren't very judgmental, you know, so

741
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 2: they just kind of go along with whatever I do.

742
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 2: We never had rules. Who was just do what I say?

743
00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 2: And they did that and watched me, you know, ever

744
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 2: hid anything from them. So yeah, they're they're turning. They're

745
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: having their turn at showing me and teaching me patience

746
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 2: and severity. Mama, you gotta say what you feel, feel

747
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 2: what you say, Tell that that's that that's the electronic

748
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: A little good mars. Yeah, they will, they'll tell me.

749
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: It can only be so kind now that you know,

750
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: and our first favorite saying is a couplistic saying that

751
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 2: severity without mercy is cruelty. Mercy without severity, it's weakness.

752
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 2: So we try to walk that line. You know, kindness

753
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: isn't all it being, you know, appearing nice. Kindness is

754
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 2: all also telling somebody to beat it right, count yourself.

755
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 8: Because you still could you write a old to hip

756
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 8: hop now in twenty twenty four, like, based off this

757
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 8: era of music, would hip hop be the love of

758
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 8: your life?

759
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 3: Right now?

760
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: It still is always you only have one love. You're

761
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: lucky just to have just want mhm.

Speaker 3: Uh one love, one love? Yeah, wodini? Yeah?

763
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: And who did who did it over? No? Yeah, b boys,

764
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I'm I'm saying. You know, y'all are looking

765
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: to be like why you're asking that? That's that's simple arithmetic.

766
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 3: It was.

767
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, how the relationship evolved or change because relationship between

768
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 8: me and hip hop?

769
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 2: It has not, because hip hop is still here. It's recorded.

770
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 2: You can never go away, nobody can take it away.

771
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: It has been recorded in time. Hip hop will be televised.

772
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: It is down, it's I can access it at any

773
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: point in time.

774
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 5: So it is there.

775
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I feel the same way.

776
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 7: How do you feel about people having a conversation all

777
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 7: about it being like the third most popular genre behind

778
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 7: with Latin music, I think in in country music, Like,

779
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 7: how do you feel about that?

780
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 6: Because I think, yes, hip hop at one point.

781
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 2: Go ahead, No, it's not third is first. I'm talking

Speaker 2: about all over the planet everywhere I go, Gossip, Australia,

783
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: New Zealand, Argentina, Africa, Mexico, everywhere I go, we are

784
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 2: praying to different gods, different names of God. But everybody

785
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: is not in their heads in agreeance to the one

786
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 2: kicking U snare. It's hip hop is like, it's the religion,

787
00:43:54,719 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 2: it's how it's what brings us all together the whole world. Yeah, nah,

788
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: hip hop is. It's the biggest They know that. Oh

789
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 2: they're talking about.

790
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 3: Not CULTU yourself.

791
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, but.

792
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 6: Like culture wise, they wouldn't even be able to understand

793
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 6: it to rink it.

794
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 3: But yeah, what made J Dillers so brilliant We're gonna

795
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 3: get you out of here.

796
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 2: His approach uh to music was authenticity. He was authentic.

797
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 2: That's what made him different.

798
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: Uh.

799
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 2: He had a metronome and he was true to it

800
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: he didne never used the quantization button. He never quantized.

801
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: It was always his inner metronome. So the snares were live.

802
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 2: Usually when when we produce, we are using a kick

803
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 2: in the snare button and we push a button called

804
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 2: quantize and it puts it on the grid on the

805
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 2: two and the four.

806
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 5: So what's the same all the time.

807
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 2: Yes, which gives us a certain swing depending on what

808
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 2: what the feel you want. But Deyler's field was his

809
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 2: field because it was always live. So he would do

810
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: maybe a couple of quantized things, you know, he had

811
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 2: a little tricks here and there with the snares, but

812
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: for the most part he was very simple and unquantized.

813
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: So for four minutes he would actually play the beat

814
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: so the snares wouldn't necessarily be on them.

815
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, which is amazing because it's feeling.

816
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: Not not necessarily all the time. Sometimes he would just

817
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: play the play the kick and the snare alive, or

818
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: play the kick and snare a live and do the

819
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 2: high hats live gotcha or the shakers because those those

820
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 2: are laying back, so his beat's laid back. I don't

821
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 2: know how to explain it, but he had a laid

822
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: back he was on his own beat rhythm, and he

823
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 2: brought he brought all of us to that place. Yeah,

824
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 2: it was a certain hump that he had can't be explained.

825
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 2: But that's what made him so special, and his choices

826
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 2: and samples and his collection of music.

827
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 8: Uh.

828
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 2: He was a historian.

829
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: M hm.

830
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: He was also very You have to be mathematical. But

831
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 2: I told stories before how when I opened this refrigerator,

832
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 2: all the coke cans will be lined up like so symmetrically.

833
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to get one, you know. But I

834
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: don't drink coke nowhere. But you know, I have to

835
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 2: make that clear.

836
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 5: As you said, when.

837
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 2: People crazy, I've.

Speaker 8: this woman needs be.

851
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 2: I don't know why people think take things so serious.

852
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: It's just my sense of humor. I love ja.

853
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 7: When you saw the cover though, knowing that there is

854
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 7: an inspiration like, does do those inspiration moments? Are you

855
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 7: feeling like, oh my god, they saw what I was

856
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 7: trying to do, they love it, they're still doing it,

857
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 7: or do you feel like, oh that was mine?

858
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 6: Like, don't bite.

859
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 2: I have to be very careful with this because my

860
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 2: children watching me, and that generation is watching and as

861
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 2: much as we love our art, it doesn't belong to

862
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 2: us once it goes out in the world. However, though,

863
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 2: you can't. You can't manage what people are going to

864
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: do with the art. You can't manage whether they're going

865
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 2: to duplicate it or do another interpretation of it, or

866
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 2: just enjoy it or use it as an inspiration. You

867
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 2: can't manage that. But you don't have to remain silent

868
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 2: about it. Yeah, you can. If it makes you feel

869
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 2: the way, you should say something about it. Yeah.

870
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: But outside of that, there are a lot of artists

871
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: that get there. You can tell their style, their approach

872
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: everything from you and you do see that.

873
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 5: Does that bother you or do you look at it

874
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 5: like I put my art out there and it is what.

875
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: It is or do you mind it all that they

876
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: don't show you respect and love and say what it

877
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: came from here?

878
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 2: As I'm mature, more I have less of a need

879
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 2: two h own own something. And the more I let

880
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 2: go of it, the more I am acknowledged. Isn't that something? Yeah?

881
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 2: The more I let go of the need of that,

882
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: then you get a call and say, hey, we want

883
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: to give you an award. That's how the universe works

884
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 2: in my world. So I saw that, and I was

885
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 2: very proud of that award and proud of that moment

886
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 2: because I had let go of some things that were

887
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 2: no longer evolving me thinking you know, and then there

888
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: comes they give it to you because I became it,

889
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 2: because they don't give you what you want, to give

890
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 2: you what you are.

891
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 3: That's a ball. You heard that one.

892
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 2: Wow?

893
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 3: My last question. I feel like everything you do is

894
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 3: spirit all.

895
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 8: Like I said earlier, is it even possible for you

896
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 8: to do any type of art without divine energy being involved?

897
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Even if I'm not aware of it,

898
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 2: it's all. It always involved. Yeah, something there's something I

899
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 2: know what it is, but there's something we floating on

900
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:26,439
Speaker 2: that's uh giving us life, you know, choices of some sort. Yeah,

901
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 2: you know, we're born, Uh, we're told you know, once

902
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 2: we're born, you know that our religion was here already.

903
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 2: Are what we supposed to believe in the tribe, the ways,

904
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 2: the hunting ways, the what we worship, uh, how we worship, uh,

905
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 2: how we learn, how we cook, how we dress. There's

906
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: a tribe and you learn that. Hopefully you go outside

907
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 2: of that once you are of age to explore other things,

908
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: because you want to see if that is true. Yeah,

909
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 2: then you explore even further. You want to go outside

910
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 2: of that and see how you feel being entangled with

911
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 2: another person, another human, and then after that you go.

912
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: Like entangled, entangled entanglement.

913
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 2: Entanglement is when two cells meet and become something. Yeah,

914
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 2: so you become entangled with another human in the next

915
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 2: phase of your life. Then hopefully you learn that and

916
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 2: learn some boundaries, and then now you're an individual human

917
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 2: who's creative in spirit, and then you have to learn

918
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: how to walk in that humanness, in that spiritualness. I

919
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: don't know what I was saying or how we got

920
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,320
Speaker 2: to this, but because I asked.

921
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 3: You, is it possible for you to make art without

922
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 3: that divine in No, not.

923
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 2: For me, because I believe that. I believe that. Yeah,

924
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: do you think it's possible to do anything without.

925
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 3: Not anything meaningful?

926
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 2: Not anything meaning So you so you think or you

927
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,479
Speaker 2: feel that there's an opposite of the bat.

928
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, yes, I feel like there's just I think

929
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 8: that you know, you have your divine and then you

930
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,439
Speaker 8: just have your human right. So we're all spiritual beings

931
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 8: living in human existence. So you can do all types

932
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 8: of things in the human existence right, and you may

933
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 8: think they feel good in the moment, and they may

934
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 8: just when it's not lasting, it's not fulfilling. You can

935
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 8: you know when you're doing something divine.

936
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 3: You know when God is Oh absolutely, and you.

937
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 2: Don't have to do much, it's just your body feeling.

938
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 6: You just show up and do what you do, and

939
