<v Speaker 1>writing and singer. You know you probably need me. I'm

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>on the way and I get in there and you

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>play this song called take My Time, and you said, yeah,

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>big brother, got I got I kind of modeled it

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>off after Sexual Pain and it's already good. You just

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>you just sing your verse, right, this is your verse.

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, so he doesn't need it, and bro,

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>it was like the craziest I'd never seen a learning

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>curve that small to where first album it was like

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>people were giving you things, yeah, to learn that was

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 1>like school. And by your second album you had already

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>figured it out and it was scary to see. I

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, where's he gonna be on his third album?

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Where's he gonna be? And now too many years later,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 1>now it's just records being broken. Now you're just breaking

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 1>your own records, trying to set againness world records and

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not even it's not even close, you know what

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. We like to start to begin. I just

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>had to start there because I just I just when

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I wasn't needed anymore musically, I just

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of myself.

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 5>But I called him I was like being broken on

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 5>the record. So it was like I didn't feel the

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 5>record at that time. It would be like me stealing

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 5>a record from you. Like what I'm saying that I

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 5>didn't involve you in the record because I'm like I

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 5>was inspired by your song to do the song. So

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 5>I was like, let me now get on the record

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 5>with me, bro Like, and I can talk. I can

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 5>talk a little bit more adult now on the song

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 5>because I'm older, you know.

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 6>Before I had to learn and be like, oh, I

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 6>can't say that, I can't say this.

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.679
<v Speaker 5>And then by the time, like even working with you

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 5>from Kerry Hillson A Donnis, you know, like working with

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 5>all these different writers, Dre and Medal all them, like

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 5>back in the day, I was fifteen fourteen doing that

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 5>album for my first album.

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Man, that's that was like learning.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 5>So like I said, I was in school, like, Okay,

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 5>this is how you do it. This is how you

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 5>make a song. There's a verse a pre course and

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know none of that.

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>So you learned that over a summer, bro. Man, that's

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>what it felt like. That's what it felt like. I

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>felt like that, and it took me to the place

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>of being where I was the teacher. It took me

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to a place of being reverting back to a student. Damn.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Like watching him work like that, I was like, okay,

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>he different. No, we literally and I.

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Don't know if we've ever told you this, but We've

0:03:56.040 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 2>literally worked with you, got in a car and then

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>implement it some of the ship you do.

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Bro, You may look at us like the big brother.

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>No, Nigga, we've literally worked with you and been like, nigga,

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 2>did you watch out?

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>He and then he did his vocal this way. Oh yeah,

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>like no, we're paying attention.

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's sporadic. How how we record? Like I learned

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 5>remember how everybody used to have to record like we

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 5>have to punch.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>No, it was really no punching.

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 5>You had to sing that whole work, right, So once

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 5>technology got faster, I was like, we can still do

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 5>the same amount of effort as far as you remember.

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 5>How how how do my stack? So how's it's it's

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 5>faster to me because it's like in section and I

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 5>can just put them all together and then it looks

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 5>like a painting.

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I was kind of learning.

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 5>So if y'all, if y'all implemented certain ship, I'm like, damn,

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 5>y'all was looking at what I was doing.

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:55.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm stealing. I used to word, it's a great word.

0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, Thank you stealing. I'm at

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the house like Jesus Christ. How we get that. How

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 1>do we get that? I ain't gonna do the dance

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 1>move to go over and slow it down a little bit.

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I ain't make it do that.

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>He's here now, Chris is here, So Chris Brown, that's

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Nigga Brown. Just so you know, that's Nigga Brown over there.

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>And he always mentions you when he mentions his dance

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 2>move for some.

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Odd reason, because you have to understand, I'm the older

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>version of Chris Brown. Since this genuine won't do the dances.

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, I tell the nigga. The

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.599
<v Speaker 1>nigga first of all, come on, do to the fucking

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>pony dance. He won't do the fucking pony dance. So

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>it ubsess me. So now I got to pick up

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 1>the mantle. I gotta go back to my freaky days.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. Video I'm doing summersaults. You

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. I'm blowing up fucking buildings. You

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, Like, I got to go back

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 1>to those days just to show people I'm really that. Yeah,

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>So what are you telling you is he was yusie

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>for you? No, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>is don't don't think I ain't got feet. Y'all got

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I got feet. They don't all work the same. No, Brown,

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the two left feet, it's the left them. Let's talk

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to the beginning then of when when did somebody identify

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that you had something special?

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 5>Or when did you I mean, as you know, like

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 5>I think I was like probably about nine when I

<v Speaker 5>to me when I booked my and this had nothing

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:37.559
<v Speaker 5>to do with music at the time, but because we

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 5>showcased our musical talent, we booked the job. It was

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 5>for a g unit campaign, right, and so like I

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 5>was like, you know what, fifty.

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 5>the typical like y'all want to get signs ship. So

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 5>we actually did that audition. They was like, man, you

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 5>kids are phenomenal, and they booked us. Boom, we got there.

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 5>We were backstage with all of them, like, but I

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 5>never really hung with Fifty at that time. He just

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 5>was always respectful, like what's up y'all boom. But we

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 5>was around Lloyd Banks a couple of different guys. But

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 5>we were bad little kids, like you know what I'm saying.

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 5>We already had weed and ship like, so we was

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 5>like we're trying to smoke our weed on the side.

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 6>They're like, man, what y'all doing? And so like nah,

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 6>we wrapped and we see.

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 5>So we started performing with them and then they was like,

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 5>you know what, man, y'all niggas is dope.

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.479
<v Speaker 6>And then I remember.

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.599
<v Speaker 5>One niggas like man, but we don't know how to

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 5>fuck markt No, damn kids, we some gangsters. So I

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 5>was like, so I was like, damn, Like I understood it.

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 5>But it was just like, Okay, this ship is about

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 5>to be real for us because other artists actually looking

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 5>and that not saying the typical art that's cool, you

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 5>know what I'm saying.

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 1>So like real real artists and people.

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 6>Was looking up.

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.959
<v Speaker 1>There was the hottest group at the time, you know

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying.

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 5>So like for us, that was like seeing seeing gods,

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 5>like okay, cool, we get to see all our all

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 5>our idols in one and they like our stuff. And

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 5>then from there our demo tapes started going out like

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 5>we had a but I was only how I I

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 5>discovered I had a solo song that I did.

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 6>It's called Who's Girl Is that? You can go look

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 6>at her YouTube.

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I think I was twelve or thirteen

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 5>when I shot it, So this was yeah, so so,

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 5>but it was like back then, you know, that was that.

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 5>It was like the bootleg videos, you know how man,

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.199
<v Speaker 5>it's got to be two thousand and what three two?

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Might it might have been on DVD? I thought I

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>thought it might have been on VHS.

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 6>No, no, no, we had we had it on the debut.

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 6>If it was VHS, I would be like, oh you

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 6>heard that the popping up for.

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.200
<v Speaker 1>The video stuff. Yeah.

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 5>But when we did we did the video like it

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.960
<v Speaker 5>wasn't It wasn't really expensive, but you know, because it

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 5>was independent, we was like, okay, cool, we're gonna we're

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.319
<v Speaker 5>gonna shoot it like this and the demo tape. Actually

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 5>the video didn't even go out because we didn't have

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 5>no platform to put it on.

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 6>We would just ship ship it or shop it with

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:51.320
<v Speaker 6>our demos.

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 5>So the demo I was number seven out of a

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 5>song of maybe like twenty eight, but with seven different

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 5>or seven or eight different artists.

0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 6>It was like a damn mixtape mixed up.

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 5>So but basically they were shopping it out to other

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.320
<v Speaker 5>labels to see and I remember Tina Davis to this

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 5>day shout out to Teena Davis. She she listened to

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.199
<v Speaker 5>the songs like who's this kid? And then I want

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.319
<v Speaker 5>to meet this kid? And that's when I went to

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.719
<v Speaker 5>death Jam and she had to meeting with us, and

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 5>then from there they wanted to sign us, and then

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 5>you know, a merger happened. She left and I was like,

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 5>hold on, but Tina, you listened to me first, so

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 5>could you you want to manage me? I don't got

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 5>no manage You're like, She's like cool, but you want

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:27.719
<v Speaker 5>to stay here?

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Or I can get you some other deals? I said you,

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 1>So does the company get the deal and you're part

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:33.680
<v Speaker 1>of that deal.

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.959
<v Speaker 5>So what it was was the company did a deal

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 5>with me when I ended up signing with with job

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 5>at the time, the company, we we just paid them

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 5>out for the work that they already did, and then

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 5>we gave them points on the album and they would away. Yeah,

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 5>so they always get credited, so that that that classic album.

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:50.959
<v Speaker 5>They're always going to eat from it, you know what

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying. So the way I looked at it was

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 5>it was cool because they didn't hold me into a nah,

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 5>you gotta.

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 6>Be like this, we get we taking your publishing, they

0:12:59.520 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 6>need all this.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 1>They didn't. They didn't strong arm at all because and

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>they believed in the dream. You get what I'm saying

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 1>to this day.

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 5>TJ's father was the guy who who really put it together.

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 5>So me and TJ are brothers, even with his kids

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 5>with everything. So it's like, how how I looked at

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 5>it was like.

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:15.440
<v Speaker 6>Damn, they gave me a shot and they let me.

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 6>They let me do what I needed to do.

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Because there have been labels that have held artists and

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 2>you never get a chance to see if an artist

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 2>is going to become a star because they're just trying

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>to do what they consider to be business instead of

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 2>actually caring about the artists.

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah.

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 5>And then Mark Pitts how they did it with us.

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.199
<v Speaker 5>With Mark Pitts, uh, the actual production company I was

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 5>working with. They they brought me right to Mark Pits

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 5>with Tina. So when we went to a job, they

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 5>was like, you know what, we don't want to let

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 5>y'all leave the building, like and I built a bigger

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 5>rapport with Mark out of any other A and R

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 5>that I would meet, Like, you know, Kevin Lowles was

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.319
<v Speaker 5>cool as hell, but like Mark Pitts was like more young.

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 5>He was energetic, like he was like, hey man, let's

0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 5>and you know job had everybody too. They had Britney Spears,

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 5>Aaron Carter at the time, recipes, uh r, Kelly, they

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 5>had everybody.

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 5>So I'm looking like who who's going to be the

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 5>best for the genre that I'm doing.

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Who's going to be the best R and B genre?

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.319
<v Speaker 1>You're already thinking about that fourteen?

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:13.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, because I needed.

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I needed.

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 5>I always always wanted to execute a plan and know

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 5>that it comes with a lot of shit, Like you

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.080

<v Speaker 5>and then go back home. Anything I could do to

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 5>not go back home, like you know what I'm saying,

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 5>to elevate my life, I think I planned. I'm very imaginative,

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 5>so my.

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:35.240

<v Speaker 6>My manifestations were already like years in advance.

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Like I want to do this, so you know, so

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>terms of you saying like something was something about her

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>made sense for you, in terms of saying, you know,

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to roll with you. Yeah, what was that

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.640

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I had to get it.

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 5>We came we came on some gangs, trying to look tough.

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 5>She's like, take that ship off, take all that off.

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 6>Boom boom.

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 5>And when we when I started performing, she would be like,

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 5>stop do this when you perform, act like that.

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 6>This person the only person.

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 5>So she gave me direction that i've that I've never experienced,

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 5>and I was like, this is the sharpening that I

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 5>need in order.

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>To be big. You gee what I'm saying.

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 5>So once once she did that, I was like, damn,

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 5>she believed in me and gave me a chance with

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 5>somebody could have they could have just let me go

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 5>out how I thought it was gonna be.

0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 1>And then it was like, we don't want this.

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 6>You know what I'm saying.

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>We don't want this kid.

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 6>She shaped it.

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 5>So I was like, you know what, I don't want

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 5>to I don't want to traverse through this whole kind

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 5>of thing and not know where the fuck.

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 6>I'm going that right there.

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 5>I want to see if she wants to manage me

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 5>or be a part of it, because she she kind

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 5>of like open the spark up in my in my

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.920
<v Speaker 5>creative brain or seeing what I really needed to be.

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>And I think I'm the reason I was asking you

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that is because as as like just as new artists emerged,

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, we see we see new artists

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>with this we definitely a great level of confidence. But

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I want artists to make sure they' putting themselves in

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 1>a position with people that challenge them. Yeah, challenge them

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 1>to be better.

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 5>What is it called what we conditioning? Not conditioning like

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 5>when we were younger, you have to go through artists,

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 5>developments development.

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>That's what it was.

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 5>So so as far as what we have to do

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 5>is like you got to go through media training.

0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 6>You gotta go.

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 5>You got to know how to answer a question, like

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 5>you got to know how to think about lost art.

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 1>You got to lead the interview. Yeah, like there they

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>have a goal. But I have a fucking call, right, fact,

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I got ship that I'm selling. Yeah exactly, Okay, what

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.919
<v Speaker 1>question you asked me? We don't get back to this

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>fucking I promise you. That takes preparation, though. That takes preparation.

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.440
<v Speaker 1>And I remember my first time meeting you in New York.

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 2>I think he was like fourteen, maybe about to be fifteen,

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 2>at Ethiopia's office when she was in publishing at the

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 2>time at the Universal Music Publishing Company. And I was

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 2>there on the writing trip and I never forget he

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.120
<v Speaker 2>walked in there. She said, it's a kid you got

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to meet. She's like, you have to meet him. She's like,

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 2>he only in here for minute, but you got to

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.719
<v Speaker 2>meet him. And she brought you to that room, and

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.639
<v Speaker 2>I literally, like you said, within five ten minutes, I

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.119
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, he about to be the biggest on

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the road.

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>He was in the writing room. I was in the

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.159
<v Speaker 1>little writing room. I was in the little writing room.

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Yo, whoever the fuck that is that nigga?

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Everybody in trouble. She's like, you know how that is

0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 1>because she was signing you from a publishing seat.

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 2>She was working with you on that, so you know,

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 2>of course it's it's kind of one of those and

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 2>you know the stage where everybody everywhere you're going before

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>you crack off, your auditioning everywhere pretty much just in

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:11.600
<v Speaker 2>your personality whatever it is.

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.440
<v Speaker 1>So when I tell her, she's like, yeah, I think

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you start. I'm like, yo, he got it.

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 2>It's like he has it, And I hadn't seen anything

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 2>like that because to me, you were already even at

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 2>fourteen fifteen, in my opinion, you were already in the

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.960
<v Speaker 2>space of, oh, he's going to be able to transition

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.719
<v Speaker 2>into an adult artist too, even though you hadn't put

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.719
<v Speaker 2>out none of your kid record. I saw it with

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 2>you and just from your personality back, you know, but

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 2>what they used to call call it managed nigga, he

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 2>was managed.

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 6>I was looking at everything.

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:50.439
<v Speaker 1>With a skirt.

0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 7>Who that what's the name? I'm like, that's the country.

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 7>It starts early in the country. Yeah, you grow fast

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:05.359
<v Speaker 7>and fastest, so.

0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 1>You're making when you get with you now you start

0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 1>making rounds. Yeah right, because you you made you made

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.680
<v Speaker 1>heavy rounds very early that most most new artists don't

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>get to make. You know what I'm saying. And you

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 1>made a stop at the underdogs. Oh yeah, facts, oh yeah,

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 1>And I'm looking at this little nigga, I'm like, okay,

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I was.

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.440
<v Speaker 5>I was nervous to though, I ain't a lot going

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 5>in there with y'all because you gotta think I'm still

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 5>learning singing, like it's still I had a natural talent,

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 5>but like to be in there and and here y'all

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 5>running scales all that.

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 6>I'm in there sweating.

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.440
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not going to let you. You were scared

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 1>you was going back with us though, he was like

0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:55.320
<v Speaker 1>devil at him. I'm like, can you dance? He said, yeah, nigga.

0:19:55.560 --> 0:20:01.119
<v Speaker 1>I was like you then. I think it was a

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>DVD or tape of something, and I said.

0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 5>That showed you the whole I say, that's when we

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 5>did the little school runs and I was showing you

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 5>like the performance, said, oh you you can.

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I'm just I'm just trying to find a win.

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, can you hoop niggas? Yeah, niggas, I can hoop. Yeah,

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:24.159
<v Speaker 1>let's And it was like at every turn it was

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 1>like this nigga is different. This nigga do everything we sing,

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 1>he danced, he hoop, he managed. I love this nigga

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and not to speed forward. But there was a point

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 1>where I was like, Okay, first you get a here record,

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 1>let's start there. Out the gate, out the gate. There

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 1>was no sputter for you at all. I was. I

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:57.959
<v Speaker 1>was just surprised though I was.

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I didn't even realize how big the

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 5>record was gonna be, Like not to kill it now.

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.159
<v Speaker 5>But I hated the record because I was doing R

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 5>and B R and B songs, so like Scott Stories,

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 5>I was like, man, I don't know what a hit is,

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:12.800
<v Speaker 5>so I'm not gonna tell him that this is.

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Not a hit, right, And he got a gang of hits. Yeah.

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 1>So I sat in there like, man, I don't really

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:18.360
<v Speaker 1>like this song me in Miami.

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to tell teen and all them, like, I

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:22.639
<v Speaker 5>don't think this is fun me this song ain't. We

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 5>got so many other songs like the your song.

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.080
<v Speaker 1>The your song. I'm like, so.

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.119
<v Speaker 5>I'm thinking all of that type because I wanted to

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 5>be more, more vulnerable or not, but I also wanted

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 5>to kick ass on the dance and I wanted to

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 5>show off that. So they was like, nah, trust me,

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:39.920
<v Speaker 5>this is it put it out and I didn't. When

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 5>it blew up, I said, what the It's like, I'm

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:45.120
<v Speaker 5>still in like, what is it called imposter syndrome?

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>To this day, I.

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 5>Still know the feeling of how I felt when that

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:57.400
<v Speaker 5>shit went crazy.

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:02.399
<v Speaker 2>So when you do your difference, we went by that

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 2>because I always asked this question, and at this point

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 2>you're like fourteen fifty fifteen, when first you get to

0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.359
<v Speaker 2>do did they let you touch the money?

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:13.160
<v Speaker 5>So how I did it? See a lot of people

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 5>don't know. I didn't get signed for like you know

0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 5>how people get signed for. Oh I got signed for

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 5>me and eight men.

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:17.920
<v Speaker 6>Back then it.

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 5>Won't So I got signed for like one hundred and

0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 5>fifty kay, right and so and then from there, because

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.679
<v Speaker 5>I was under age, my mom was in control of it.

0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>But most of it would be like in.

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 5>A trust yeah yeah, the Coogan account, yeah, cooglandcount so

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:34.400
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't be able to touch it. So obviously we could

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 5>she could go and withdraw stuff if I wanted to

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:38.639
<v Speaker 5>make purchases or I wanted to do stuff. But nah,

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 5>I still was every bit of a teenager that they

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:42.199
<v Speaker 5>made me.

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 1>So as a teenager's the what's the first thing you buy?

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you escalate? Bro? Off? The deal that what you got?

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 6>No, you know what it was?

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.200
<v Speaker 5>Was it an escalator? And it was like an, I

0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:56.399
<v Speaker 5>don't know if it's not. It might have been escalator

0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 5>or for Ford something. I remember it's a big truck.

0:22:59.000 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 1>It's been a while.

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:02.960
<v Speaker 5>I had the Lamborghina doors on it, and like I

0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 5>put the doors that come up, like your first car,

0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:07.399
<v Speaker 5>your first car.

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Had Lamborghina doors. This is getting I was about to get.

0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:14.199
<v Speaker 6>I swear I was about to get a Honda Civic.

0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Bro, I was about to get a Putt that was

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be my first car.

<v Speaker 1>in your mind? Now? I mean now it's not now.

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Now it's not guesswork. Now things are like this is

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>what I do. Now, things are automatic. Now, things are

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>like it's more so what I need I can get.

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:51.120
<v Speaker 5>It kind of was like you know, when the kid,

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 5>when I could just go to the movies with my

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:53.800
<v Speaker 5>homeboys walking.

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.200
<v Speaker 6>Because I did everything as a as a regular kid.

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:56.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:59.400
<v Speaker 5>Even being in Harlem, to be in Virginia like I did,

0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 5>like regular shit, So I was used to being around

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.159
<v Speaker 5>people and being in an environment. As soon as that

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:06.879
<v Speaker 5>song went crazy, I couldn't go nowhere. I couldn't go

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 5>to the mall. Like if I walked outside of the

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 5>neighborhood that I was in, it would be people running

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 5>down the street like, so I.

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Was still in Virginia. No.

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:16.760
<v Speaker 5>Well, and but Jay took me out of Virginia as

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:18.840
<v Speaker 5>soon as as soon as I shot the deal, like

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 5>I think my record came on. I was in tenth

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:22.399
<v Speaker 5>grade when my song came out when I got my

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 5>record deal, so and I didn't leave school until after

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 5>my song had already hit the radio. So they's like,

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 5>we got to pull them, we gotta, we gotta get

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:31.679
<v Speaker 5>them out of there. So then from there, I went

0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:35.240
<v Speaker 5>from Virginia to Jersey, so so I could be closer

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 5>to uh, New York. But I couldn't even walk down

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.159
<v Speaker 5>the street there like I was. We would literally have

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 5>to drive in the garage every time we come home

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:44.080
<v Speaker 5>and shut the door. So nobody knows what's.

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 1>The what's the mindset of that for you?

0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 2>As this sixteen year old fifteen sixteen year old kid, like,

0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 2>how does it? Because that's the one thing it's bro,

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 2>And I know, I know he can attest to this

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:59.000
<v Speaker 2>because we are all so close and we've all known

0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>each other for so long.

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:04.160
<v Speaker 1>We have so many conversations that come to.

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Us about you, right, and my things always been. I

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:13.400
<v Speaker 2>can't tell him. I can only tell him so much

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:17.440
<v Speaker 2>because I haven't had that experience. And that's a very

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:19.920
<v Speaker 2>real thing that I think people have never truly taken

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 2>into account that, Bro, this has been your life since

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:28.879
<v Speaker 2>fifteen years old, Like, just tell me if you can

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:31.199
<v Speaker 2>remember that as being like a fifteen year old, Like, yo,

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 2>they're pulling me out of school. I can't go outside,

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 2>I can't go to the movies.

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of kid no more because of

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:41.119
<v Speaker 1>my challenging spirit. I like challenges.

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:44.480
<v Speaker 6>It was amazing thing because could I be real?

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.679
<v Speaker 5>Because guess what if? Well, now I'm gonna look at

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 5>the bright side. I ain't got to be in school.

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:52.280
<v Speaker 5>I ain't got to be I could do my I

0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 5>got a two do.

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't got to be there. I could do.

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 6>I can go out.

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Did you finish? I'm going yeah I did, if you did.

0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:59.240

<v Speaker 6>years off.

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Of high school though college.

<v Speaker 5>right with the moves, were gonna have fun. And I

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 5>was able to be also creative too. They didn't just

0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 5>say we're gonna do this. They let me come up

0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 5>with some things. But the thing that I felt that

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:15.240
<v Speaker 5>I lacked was the experienced one and and just the

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:19.200
<v Speaker 5>discipline that everybody else had, you know, we it was

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 5>B two K bow uh.

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 1>It was so many other artists all polished here. Yeah,

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:24.720
<v Speaker 1>so when you.

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 5>Would see their shows, you would see the glitz and

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 5>the glamour. Like me, I had a DJ booth, just

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:30.800
<v Speaker 5>a little DJ booth that I was slide from under

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 5>with the dancers with the little smoke, and then I

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:36.200
<v Speaker 5>had a graffiti background, you know what I'm saying. And

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:39.640
<v Speaker 5>they maybe maybe gave me like twelve minutes. I probably

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 5>had like not even that, it might have been eight minutes.

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 5>So I had to, you know, figure it out. But

0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 5>seeing these other performers, it kind of like grew my

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:50.720
<v Speaker 5>hunger for what I needed to be doing in order

0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:53.280
<v Speaker 5>to in order to be the person headlining, in order

0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 5>to be the person that I think I can be,

0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:56.880
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. So a lot of them,

0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 5>a lot of those guys and seeing their performers, seeing

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 5>their their quality and how out long they're dancing and

0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:03.640
<v Speaker 5>then they're just getting off and all the screens like

0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 5>it was really the Scream Tour, Like you, it was

0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:10.560
<v Speaker 5>no other There's no other experience that I can tell you.

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 5>At that time, was like forget all the festivals and

0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:14.480
<v Speaker 5>stuff that they.

0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 6>Got going on right now.

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Back then your ears were literally you would really go.

0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Definitely shout out to Michael Martin. I saw him during

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the Grammy week. I never met him before, and I

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:26.880
<v Speaker 2>just told him, I'm like, listen, man, what you did

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 2>just what I mean obviously what you've.

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Done in the business, pier, but that Scream Tour, Jesus.

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 2>With giving that type of spotlight to young artists and

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 2>putting him on that type of platform. I don't know

0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 2>anyone that's done that.

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 5>I don't, I don't. I don't think it can be

0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 5>done right now. It's not like with you, I think

0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 5>that's sounds I can't even recreate. Like I was just

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 5>happy to be a part.

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Of it, Like I was like, that's a legendary to

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:56.720
<v Speaker 1>recreate with these phones. Man, that's the other part. Yeah, yeah,

0:33:56.760 --> 0:34:01.800
<v Speaker 1>because because because like that stay was like still in

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:05.560
<v Speaker 1>that moment, it still was a place where you still

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:08.680
<v Speaker 1>felt like this is the only place I'm gonna get

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to see that.

0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:11.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm only gonna see this type of shit here.

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 1>It was still that we hadn't gotten to the phone

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 1>yet to where you could get used to seeing that

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 1>type of shit all the time. It just runs all day.

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 1>That's them scream to it. It was really screams, yeah,

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:27.279
<v Speaker 1>facts like motherfuckers. When you came on stage, it was

0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 1>they was glued from from from from top to bottom.

0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:32.680
<v Speaker 5>And I was nervous because that's like, you know, we

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 5>would performed before, Like I've performed at different places I

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 5>had to perform what is it playing in Hollywood?

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:39.840
<v Speaker 6>Different different places?

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:42.000
<v Speaker 5>But there's a little venues when you I'm in an

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:45.880
<v Speaker 5>arena now, and it's even though are going first. The

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:47.799
<v Speaker 5>parents back then they trying to get their kids into

0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:50.799
<v Speaker 5>the building early. So now if the show starts at

0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:53.959
<v Speaker 5>let's say nine, some people might not leave their house

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:57.040
<v Speaker 5>to eight thirty, you know what I'm saying. So, but

0:34:57.160 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 5>back then, everybody's in there, sitting there waiting. So whoever

0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:04.040
<v Speaker 5>the first artist is, they either standing up or booing ship.

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Did you like, speaking of booing, did you ever experience

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 2>a fucked up show early on?

0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:12.319

<v Speaker 2>He's not your nigga, but I've never I never got

<v Speaker 2>Boo on a thousand hit records.

<v Speaker 1>But you're not getting don't worry about that. I almost

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you said, you almost got Boo. It started off with

0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:36.680
<v Speaker 1>this money. That's my fault.

0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:42.040
<v Speaker 2>His playlist was song wasn't working yeah radio so and

0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:43.160

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which we're working. It was was spent seven thousand.

0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I started singing the songs little girls in the front

0:35:54.239 --> 0:35:57.920
<v Speaker 1>row looking at her friends.

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:55.160
<v Speaker 3>And.

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:04.680
<v Speaker 7>Oh god, I still got two minutes and it's a tape,

0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:08.640
<v Speaker 7>so that you you just gotta.

0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:11.759
<v Speaker 5>Live that motherfucking out you started. That's when you start

0:36:11.800 --> 0:36:12.400
<v Speaker 5>thinking the most.

0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:15.359
<v Speaker 1>That's when I started sweating. That's when you get caught

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the mouth man.

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:19.080
<v Speaker 5>Now I sucked up myself on stage, like did the

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 5>back flip slipped? But I play it off or like

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:23.840
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. Then stepped off the stage

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 5>before and fell in the crowd.

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:32.640
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, they still feel bad for because you're just

0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 2>being great.

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah they still screamed.

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, oh my god, Okay, So off the first off,

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:45.480
<v Speaker 2>the first album, you start to you start to see

0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 2>what this thing is like. You start to see, you know,

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:50.320
<v Speaker 2>what fame is like, and how how you're gonna adjust.

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever have like the can I do it again?

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Because you know, people talk about the sophomore sophomore.

0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:00.440
<v Speaker 5>I had that in my in the back of my

0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:03.200
<v Speaker 5>head probably every day, you know what I'm saying. So like,

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:06.839
<v Speaker 5>for me, it was because the first album was like

0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:07.840
<v Speaker 5>a learning experience.

0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I wrote with writers.

0:37:08.880 --> 0:37:11.440
<v Speaker 5>I didn't really write, you know, it was really how

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:14.239
<v Speaker 5>they kind of shaped what I what my ideas would be.

0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:17.000
<v Speaker 5>The second album was like, okay, cool, well you've been

0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:21.160
<v Speaker 5>You've been right at the song selections. You're picking the choices,

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 5>you know what you're doing. So but I feel like

0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:25.920
<v Speaker 5>it's like the challenge thing again. I was like, you

0:37:25.960 --> 0:37:28.919
<v Speaker 5>know what, I'm gonna try to prove them wrong.

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:29.920
<v Speaker 1>You fought for that.

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like I said, I proved myself wrong with the

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:34.600
<v Speaker 5>with the first album. So it's like now now I'm

0:37:34.600 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 5>gonna prove them wrong. I could do this ship.

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:37.279
<v Speaker 1>So I was.

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:39.279
<v Speaker 6>I had that sophomore JINX in the back of my head.

0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:42.360
<v Speaker 1>What's the first first record from the second.

0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 5>The second album Damn Let Me You Make Me Go?

0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:45.680
<v Speaker 5>You know, I got a lot of Damn albums, man, I.

0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Know. I think that's the album.

0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Records from the first from the first album?

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Was it kids, Kiss? Yeah?

0:37:57.680 --> 0:37:59.840
<v Speaker 6>It was was that it had to it had to

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:01.239
<v Speaker 6>Oh no Wall to Wall?

0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, well I think it was Wall. It was

0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:12.319
<v Speaker 1>absolutely absolutely Wall then Kiss Kiss. I imagine you're putting

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:13.480
<v Speaker 1>together your show set.

0:38:13.760 --> 0:38:16.000
<v Speaker 6>You know, look for tour now.

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Bro, It's crazy.

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:20.479
<v Speaker 5>Because I'm trying to because you know, people are still

0:38:20.520 --> 0:38:22.480
<v Speaker 5>in love with the older songs, so it's.

0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 6>Like, I have no problem doing that.

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:26.440
<v Speaker 5>But the only difference is when people come to my shows,

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:29.759
<v Speaker 5>I want them to see something like evolution.

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Like you know what I'm saying.

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:32.680
<v Speaker 5>They're not seeing the last tour that they saw then

0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:35.440
<v Speaker 5>I seen the one before that. Every tour is completely

0:38:35.440 --> 0:38:38.080
<v Speaker 5>different and it gives them, you know, the same nostalgia.

0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:41.040
<v Speaker 5>But also with this with the new music. So it's

0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:43.160
<v Speaker 5>so hard for us right now. I even I even

0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:45.799
<v Speaker 5>put on my Instagram and Twitter, like, look what songs

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:48.840
<v Speaker 5>y'all want me to perform? There was like all of

0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:51.400
<v Speaker 5>them bitches. I said, we're gonna be there for three days.

0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not got to think you got to think of

0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:55.839
<v Speaker 1>it like this though, right, I always equated back to

0:38:55.920 --> 0:39:01.400
<v Speaker 1>like Frankie Beverly and May. Yeah, Frankie Beverly and the

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:07.839
<v Speaker 1>same show in arenas for twenty years.

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:13.680
<v Speaker 2>With all due respect, they don't have a hundred.

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:15.960
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, let me get into. What I'm getting

0:39:16.000 --> 0:39:20.799
<v Speaker 1>to is the variations of those songs that make it

0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>old to you. Don't get don't get old to them.

0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Don't get old to them. But at least how you

0:39:26.320 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 1>how how they will see it? Yeah, they remember that.

0:39:29.360 --> 0:39:33.279
<v Speaker 1>They're telling that friends watch when he do this, he

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:37.840
<v Speaker 1>do this thing when he sings, Watch when they're you're waiting.

0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 5>You got a point too, that's the point. But I

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:41.799
<v Speaker 5>always want to how I look. I'll be like, you

0:39:41.800 --> 0:39:44.200
<v Speaker 5>know what. I want to always give them more.

0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:44.799
<v Speaker 1>It's not like.

0:39:44.880 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 5>Because you can see Chris Brown on YouTube, but you

0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:49.040
<v Speaker 5>can go see it and be like all right, and

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:50.600
<v Speaker 5>then they're like, man, even fell off.

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:52.919
<v Speaker 6>I never want to hear that ship until I'm ready

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:53.680
<v Speaker 6>to be like, look.

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired, I think because new material. I'm not.

0:39:57.480 --> 0:39:59.440
<v Speaker 6>You're not gonna be tired. But that was just hypothetic.

0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:01.840
<v Speaker 1>You have like eight thousand songs and the what's the

0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:03.879
<v Speaker 1>longest show you've done? Ship?

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 5>The last one we just did. We just came from

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:08.440

<v Speaker 8>we're so used to seeing shows, you know, in the

0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:52.200
<v Speaker 8>States and how people react in the States, but I

0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 8>wanted to go to Paris because I wanted to see

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:56.960
<v Speaker 8>people with a different mindset.

0:41:57.040 --> 0:42:01.439
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to see people completely free of what this

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the state stigma is. You gotta be cool when people

0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:08.120
<v Speaker 1>supposed to ask how the dudes, I mean, I fuck

0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:10.320
<v Speaker 1>with the know what I'm saying, I rock with It

0:42:10.480 --> 0:42:16.799
<v Speaker 1>wasn't none of that. I'm watching grown men go ape

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:21.040
<v Speaker 1>shoes these themselves in the music. When these songs come on,

0:42:21.160 --> 0:42:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I got a videotape of the entire arena jumping up

0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:30.359
<v Speaker 1>and die. I'm like Jesus, Rice and we had talked

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:33.360
<v Speaker 1>about it before before you got the overseas tour, and

0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I said, Bro, I said, look, bro, the world is

0:42:35.360 --> 0:42:37.120
<v Speaker 1>getting ready to open up to you in such a

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:39.359
<v Speaker 1>way that I don't even think you could you even

0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:41.680
<v Speaker 1>understand it. And you was like, he was like, bro,

0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I hear you, but I'm I'm I'm not gonna believe

0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:46.200
<v Speaker 1>it until I see it. Yeah, facts, I remember I

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:48.400
<v Speaker 1>told you that. Yeah, And we and we were sitting

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:51.520
<v Speaker 1>in your dress room backstage. I said, do you see this?

0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I said it, And I watched you for two nights

0:42:54.680 --> 0:42:56.120
<v Speaker 1>in a row. I don't know how the fuck you

0:42:56.200 --> 0:43:02.000
<v Speaker 1>did it for two and a half hours dance and

0:43:02.120 --> 0:43:04.120
<v Speaker 1>sing NonStop.

0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:05.640
<v Speaker 5>Because I haven't been over there in a minute too,

0:43:05.719 --> 0:43:08.280
<v Speaker 5>so by me having a tour out there, I was like, damn,

0:43:08.640 --> 0:43:10.880
<v Speaker 5>this is I haven't toured over there in twelve years

0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:13.840
<v Speaker 5>in certain places twelve like like London, certain places it

0:43:14.200 --> 0:43:17.759
<v Speaker 5>has been twelve years. So I'm like, damn. So that

0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:20.839
<v Speaker 5>they got a whole chunk of history that they ain't

0:43:20.840 --> 0:43:23.880
<v Speaker 5>even sing. So I'm like, I can't be lazy and

0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:27.160
<v Speaker 5>go on stage and do sixty minutes ninety minutes and

0:43:27.320 --> 0:43:28.520
<v Speaker 5>be like, all right, cool, we just give me out

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:29.880
<v Speaker 5>of new shit and getting out of the.

0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Sixty ninety minutes is the that's the regular show. And

0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 1>he's like, I.

0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:39.759
<v Speaker 5>Can't be that because of the chunk of yeah, because beause,

0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:41.839
<v Speaker 5>because think about it, it's it's people that's my age

0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:44.040
<v Speaker 5>bringing their kids to the show, you know what I'm saying.

0:43:44.080 --> 0:43:45.799
<v Speaker 1>So they're like, now this is the person I like.

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 5>So it's almost like teaching a class again, like okay, cool,

0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:51.600
<v Speaker 5>the kid.

0:43:51.520 --> 0:43:53.400
<v Speaker 6>Might not know this song, but they mama know the

0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:54.880
<v Speaker 6>song and they gonna pray, you know.

0:43:55.080 --> 0:43:55.239
<v Speaker 1>So.

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:58.400
<v Speaker 5>But in that in that space, it's like it's like

0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:01.239
<v Speaker 5>a different appreciation. Remember I was like, it's like not

0:44:01.320 --> 0:44:03.520
<v Speaker 5>the discredit, you know, the US, But at the end

0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:04.359
<v Speaker 5>of the day when you go.

0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Over there, it's like different.

0:44:05.960 --> 0:44:07.920
<v Speaker 6>You're really appreciated for the music.

0:44:08.480 --> 0:44:10.799
<v Speaker 1>All the time. Either like you said, they miss you,

0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:13.000
<v Speaker 1>they miss you. But R and B is still a thing.

0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Listen and I and I gotta say it like we're

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:17.799
<v Speaker 1>not we're not slighting in the US, but the US

0:44:17.880 --> 0:44:21.799
<v Speaker 1>is spoiled. They see us walking down the street they see.

0:44:22.719 --> 0:44:25.680
<v Speaker 1>It's very to see. It's in Miami moving already, they

0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:30.000
<v Speaker 1>see us and so overseas like even just just even

0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:33.880
<v Speaker 1>outside of the presence, their their thirst and desire for

0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:38.680
<v Speaker 1>real music is just it's just different. It's still old

0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:42.000
<v Speaker 1>school over there. It's it's it's they know the words

0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:45.160
<v Speaker 1>her songs and don't speak English. That's gotta be graazy.

0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:48.719
<v Speaker 5>That's that's that's phenom. I never I could never understand that.

0:44:48.760 --> 0:44:51.320
<v Speaker 5>It still makes me. I think I get more excited

0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:52.880
<v Speaker 5>when I when I when I see that because I'm like,

0:44:52.920 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 5>you know what, that that type of energy. They don't

0:44:54.680 --> 0:44:56.960
<v Speaker 5>know what the fuck I'm saying, or they might now,

0:44:57.080 --> 0:44:59.959
<v Speaker 5>but it's for them to like something that that bad

0:45:00.719 --> 0:45:02.240
<v Speaker 5>and you know what I'm saying, that takes dedication.

0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you know the States give me my love too,

0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:17.359

0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:26.759
<v Speaker 5>want to do is just be able to be on him.

0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Cool.

0:47:27.760 --> 0:47:29.319
<v Speaker 6>As long as you ain't got COVID.

0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:32.920

0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:45.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't. You can't gauge the person. You lick your

0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:47.280
<v Speaker 1>stomach and something you're gonna be like hold.

0:47:47.160 --> 0:47:53.520
<v Speaker 10>On you that you get off now, But you do

0:47:53.719 --> 0:47:57.279
<v Speaker 10>got you also, in my opinion, bro, like I've met

0:47:57.320 --> 0:47:59.480
<v Speaker 10>a lot of people, I'm friends with a lot of people.

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:02.440
<v Speaker 2>We've been in this industry a long time, and I

0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:05.920
<v Speaker 2>really believe that you are the most.

0:48:06.920 --> 0:48:08.160
<v Speaker 1>How can I say you're.

0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:15.960

<v Speaker 6>That Yeah, there's that.

0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:30.480
<v Speaker 5>But being able to like go through shit and not

0:48:31.520 --> 0:48:33.680
<v Speaker 5>have to be, you know, walk a thin line because

0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:35.000
<v Speaker 5>a lot of artists have to walk in thin line

0:48:35.040 --> 0:48:37.600
<v Speaker 5>unless you're independent. If you're like the mainstream, you can't

0:48:37.640 --> 0:48:39.960
<v Speaker 5>do this. You can't be associated with somebody, You can't

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.799
<v Speaker 5>do a song because of how it looks. Once that shit,

0:48:43.120 --> 0:48:46.080
<v Speaker 5>like once I was able to still do music and

0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:48.120
<v Speaker 5>they was and I got to be my regular nigga,

0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:50.560
<v Speaker 5>Like I got to be myself. Man, funk all this

0:48:50.640 --> 0:48:52.719
<v Speaker 5>extra shit. I can look if somebody come up to me,

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:53.680
<v Speaker 5>what's up you like with music?

0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:53.960
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:48:54.000 --> 0:48:54.040
<v Speaker 11>What?

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:54.800
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate it?

0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Cool?

<v Speaker 1>If I'm not, it's miss a million pictures.

0:49:01.360 --> 0:49:03.320
<v Speaker 5>Whether I'm drunk, whatever it is, I'm gonna take a

0:49:03.360 --> 0:49:05.880
<v Speaker 5>picture with somebody like because I've been able, I've been

0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:09.680
<v Speaker 5>humbled through whatever my experiences are. Like, so I done

0:49:09.680 --> 0:49:11.640
<v Speaker 5>went through bullshit. I and went through you know, normal

0:49:11.719 --> 0:49:15.080
<v Speaker 5>nigga shit. So it's like, you know what, let me uh,

0:49:15.280 --> 0:49:17.160
<v Speaker 5>let me not take this ship for granted and be

0:49:17.280 --> 0:49:21.000

<v Speaker 5>I'm like, damn people go by, like whether I'm promoting,

0:49:50.160 --> 0:49:52.080

<v Speaker 5>how much, and I try to let them in on

0:50:14.800 --> 0:50:17.040

<v Speaker 5>dates for the tours will come.

0:50:18.160 --> 0:50:20.160

<v Speaker 5>So so so like but but I'm able to I

0:50:29.080 --> 0:50:31.360
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't even be in this chair right now, like but

0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:33.160
<v Speaker 5>y'all my brother, so I probably would be in the chair.

0:50:33.520 --> 0:50:37.600
<v Speaker 5>But any success or anything that that's further that these

0:50:37.600 --> 0:50:39.960
<v Speaker 5>songs that I'm putting out like that, ain't that ain't

0:50:40.239 --> 0:50:43.160
<v Speaker 5>us paying somebody off and trying to like please, like

0:50:43.200 --> 0:50:45.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, what I'm saying, that's that's really the fans,

0:50:45.480 --> 0:50:47.279
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying, and they and they kept

0:50:47.280 --> 0:50:50.200
<v Speaker 5>me here twenty almost twenty years now, so it's like

0:50:50.880 --> 0:50:53.760
<v Speaker 5>for me to have that connection with them, it's probably

0:50:53.760 --> 0:50:56.279
<v Speaker 5>the biggest thing ever, you know. So so I'm maybe

0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:58.440
<v Speaker 5>that's why I'm always thirsty and still doing me is

0:50:58.440 --> 0:51:00.760
<v Speaker 5>why he's still doing this? Why it because of y'all?

0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Like that's the reason real talk shout out to team Yeah,

0:51:07.719 --> 0:51:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I talked the Team Breezy oft. I talked the Team Breezy,

0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, as as as as as a Team Breezer.

0:51:14.400 --> 0:51:17.359
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. Whatever with you shout out

0:51:19.239 --> 0:51:21.280
<v Speaker 1>what's your favorite album?

0:51:21.640 --> 0:51:21.839
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:51:22.440 --> 0:51:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Out of mind? Damn it's you know what it is?

0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:28.759
<v Speaker 6>Can I have two?

0:51:29.239 --> 0:51:32.000
<v Speaker 1>You can all? I got Eleven of the Motherfuckers?

0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:32.439
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:51:33.680 --> 0:51:35.520
<v Speaker 5>My two will be my first one because of the

0:51:35.560 --> 0:51:39.040
<v Speaker 5>experience that what we talked about earlier, like how it

0:51:39.120 --> 0:51:42.239
<v Speaker 5>felt everything was was was amazing. So I think the

0:51:42.239 --> 0:51:47.000
<v Speaker 5>first one and then my fame album. Yeah, I got

0:51:47.000 --> 0:51:50.120
<v Speaker 5>the Grammy Grammy album. And the reason why I say

0:51:50.120 --> 0:51:53.120
<v Speaker 5>that is because of the ship I had to go

0:51:53.200 --> 0:51:57.480
<v Speaker 5>through around that time and still make music and people

0:51:57.600 --> 0:52:00.480
<v Speaker 5>still listening to me despite maybe not for tking with me.

0:52:00.520 --> 0:52:01.319
<v Speaker 1>For real, I'm not.

0:52:01.239 --> 0:52:03.280
<v Speaker 5>Liking New York, you know what I'm saying. The first

0:52:03.320 --> 0:52:07.759
<v Speaker 5>canceled Nigga, So you know, so those two albums kind

0:52:07.760 --> 0:52:10.640
<v Speaker 5>of like were milestones in my career, Like the first

0:52:10.680 --> 0:52:12.600
<v Speaker 5>one has shown me that I'm I'm able to do it,

0:52:12.640 --> 0:52:13.160
<v Speaker 5>and then.

0:52:13.680 --> 0:52:15.719
<v Speaker 1>That album like, Okay, you can do it. Yeah, I

0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:21.160
<v Speaker 1>can do it again. I'm gonna go. The first album,

0:52:21.280 --> 0:52:27.200
<v Speaker 1>first album as a classic exclusive is special to me.

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:33.520
<v Speaker 1>What's your favorite Chris song? In the goal is what's

0:52:33.560 --> 0:52:37.120
<v Speaker 1>your favorite Chris song? Okay, I know mine off the

0:52:37.120 --> 0:52:37.719
<v Speaker 1>top of my head.

0:52:38.320 --> 0:52:44.120
<v Speaker 2>It changes, he just plays I still got my favorite,

0:52:44.160 --> 0:52:45.400
<v Speaker 2>though you don't have your favorite.

0:52:46.480 --> 0:52:49.200
<v Speaker 1>It changes every time he plays me.

0:52:49.160 --> 0:52:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Something he just to this day, yeah, to this day.

0:52:53.320 --> 0:52:55.440
<v Speaker 2>The Nigga played it for me a record plan, and

0:52:55.520 --> 0:52:58.280
<v Speaker 2>I said, Nigga director tomorrow.

0:52:58.320 --> 0:53:01.400
<v Speaker 1>The record the record that the record that haunts me,

0:53:02.560 --> 0:53:06.120
<v Speaker 1>like a record that when I hear it, it takes

0:53:06.160 --> 0:53:08.839
<v Speaker 1>me to where I was, like, it takes me back

0:53:08.880 --> 0:53:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to Paris and watching on stage. It's indigo. Yeah, It's

0:53:13.640 --> 0:53:18.120
<v Speaker 1>something about the feeling, It's something about the conversation. It's

0:53:18.200 --> 0:53:23.799
<v Speaker 1>something about Indigo, Bro, that is so special to me.

0:53:23.880 --> 0:53:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it is. It's the melodies, it's

0:53:27.239 --> 0:53:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the trust, the production, it's the words, it's like my life.

0:53:34.800 --> 0:53:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, it's special to me, super special. And Heat.

0:53:45.800 --> 0:53:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And the reason Heat just got so embedded was because

0:53:48.480 --> 0:53:53.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody thinks I'm singing on it. Everybody thinks I'm singing

0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:56.680
<v Speaker 1>on Heat, and I never said I wasn't singing on Heat.

0:53:57.400 --> 0:53:59.160
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. I don't think he knows

0:53:59.200 --> 0:54:03.480
<v Speaker 1>what songs he's on one of yours, since Chris I

0:54:03.480 --> 0:54:07.160
<v Speaker 1>think I'm singing backgrounds. I was just I was just

0:54:07.200 --> 0:54:09.200
<v Speaker 1>in a sensation on the other day and I was like,

0:54:09.640 --> 0:54:12.279
<v Speaker 1>I was like, why does he sound like me on

0:54:12.360 --> 0:54:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the end of this song? Why is his ad libs?

0:54:14.560 --> 0:54:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I said, funk, I did the ad libs? Got it?

0:54:17.600 --> 0:54:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Got it? Because Chris will be like, get the boof

0:54:20.080 --> 0:54:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and just sing something this ship.

0:54:21.400 --> 0:54:24.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah be because I just need his voice and backgrounds

0:54:24.400 --> 0:54:26.840
<v Speaker 5>and he knows where to put the pockets at. So

0:54:26.920 --> 0:54:30.520
<v Speaker 5>I'd be like, it'd been damn it, eight to nine

0:54:30.520 --> 0:54:35.240
<v Speaker 5>songs already.

0:54:35.520 --> 0:54:38.759
<v Speaker 1>He never remembers though, we'd be doing so much of it,

0:54:39.320 --> 0:54:41.759
<v Speaker 1>and for me, it's just like in your space, I

0:54:41.840 --> 0:54:44.080
<v Speaker 1>just try to make myself available for whatever it is

0:54:44.120 --> 0:54:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you need. You know what I'm saying, whether it be

0:54:45.800 --> 0:54:50.040
<v Speaker 1>whether it be musical conversation. Another question I wanted to

0:54:50.080 --> 0:54:56.000
<v Speaker 1>ask you is probably a deeper question in and now

0:54:56.160 --> 0:55:00.279
<v Speaker 1>in your stages of being a father. We we have

0:55:00.400 --> 0:55:04.560
<v Speaker 1>so many loves, right, and love changes in terms of

0:55:04.560 --> 0:55:07.160
<v Speaker 1>what it means as we grow. What does love mean

0:55:07.200 --> 0:55:11.839
<v Speaker 1>to you? Now, that's a deep question. What does love

0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:13.480
<v Speaker 1>mean to me? Uh?

0:55:14.560 --> 0:55:16.919
<v Speaker 5>Love is scary to me, but at the same time,

0:55:17.080 --> 0:55:20.960
<v Speaker 5>like it's too I'm full of it, you know what

0:55:21.000 --> 0:55:22.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying, I'm full of love.

0:55:22.200 --> 0:55:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Like so I feel like.

0:55:23.000 --> 0:55:26.080
<v Speaker 5>My kids kind of like made me appreciate what that

0:55:26.120 --> 0:55:28.760
<v Speaker 5>word mean, what the word meant like to love something

0:55:28.800 --> 0:55:30.680
<v Speaker 5>outside of yourself, outside of anything.

0:55:30.719 --> 0:55:34.759
<v Speaker 1>That's like, that's that's great segue. Are they are? Are

0:55:34.800 --> 0:55:39.799
<v Speaker 1>they making you more free to love, more open to love? Yes?

0:55:39.920 --> 0:55:42.960
<v Speaker 6>And no, they're they're making me more open to loving them.

0:55:43.000 --> 0:55:43.759
<v Speaker 6>Then like I'm just.

0:55:45.719 --> 0:55:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm pouring all my love into them, but you're also

0:55:48.719 --> 0:55:52.759
<v Speaker 1>very protective. Yeah, but you yeah, not let more people in.

0:55:52.960 --> 0:55:55.760
<v Speaker 5>Uh yeah, But at the same time, like it's making

0:55:55.960 --> 0:55:59.400
<v Speaker 5>me learn patience and making me learn just life skills

0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:01.520
<v Speaker 5>that I that I made. It might have been too

0:56:01.640 --> 0:56:04.319
<v Speaker 5>too antsy for too busy for So I think love

0:56:04.360 --> 0:56:07.520
<v Speaker 5>for me now is like it's expanding. It's like me,

0:56:07.880 --> 0:56:10.040
<v Speaker 5>you saying you have to have a favorite color, right, No,

0:56:10.239 --> 0:56:10.879
<v Speaker 5>I really don't.

0:56:11.120 --> 0:56:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I can actually find beauty in every all of the colors.

0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:18.399
<v Speaker 5>So my, uh, my thought process on love isn't as

0:56:19.000 --> 0:56:20.799
<v Speaker 5>controlled as I thought it should be. It should be

0:56:20.800 --> 0:56:23.239
<v Speaker 5>like this, It should be like no, like love is

0:56:23.520 --> 0:56:25.319
<v Speaker 5>an abundance to me. So I feel like it's like,

0:56:25.960 --> 0:56:28.160
<v Speaker 5>all right, cool, I don't got Yeah I could, I

0:56:28.160 --> 0:56:28.600
<v Speaker 5>could do this.

0:56:31.680 --> 0:56:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Out. Yeah, I can smile a lot more. Yeah yeah.

0:56:35.320 --> 0:56:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Now look look that's that's what you're for, what you've

0:56:39.560 --> 0:56:41.120
<v Speaker 2>been through and what you've accomplished.

0:56:41.320 --> 0:56:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you should smile more. Yeah, you know what I mean.

0:56:44.080 --> 0:56:47.600
<v Speaker 2>You should continue to have a good time because this

0:56:47.600 --> 0:56:50.080
<v Speaker 2>this isn't given to everyone. Yeah, you know what I mean.

0:56:50.239 --> 0:56:51.799
<v Speaker 2>It's especially your life.

0:56:51.800 --> 0:56:52.480
<v Speaker 1>And what you know.

0:56:52.719 --> 0:56:57.600
<v Speaker 2>And but the thing that would make me angry when

0:56:57.640 --> 0:57:01.160
<v Speaker 2>it came to you was that people didn't realize this

0:57:01.239 --> 0:57:04.080
<v Speaker 2>was your life, you know what I mean. Everybody had

0:57:04.120 --> 0:57:06.960
<v Speaker 2>an opinion or has an opinion of how you should

0:57:07.000 --> 0:57:10.120
<v Speaker 2>live your life. And for me, as your brother, I've

0:57:10.120 --> 0:57:12.200
<v Speaker 2>never had an opinion about how you should live your life.

0:57:12.200 --> 0:57:13.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know we've had many a talk to you

0:57:14.200 --> 0:57:17.200
<v Speaker 2>in many cities and many long nights, and I've never

0:57:17.280 --> 0:57:21.240
<v Speaker 2>said you should do No, you should do what you

0:57:21.280 --> 0:57:23.280
<v Speaker 2>want to do and live how you want to live

0:57:23.760 --> 0:57:26.200
<v Speaker 2>and experience the things you want to because it's what

0:57:26.400 --> 0:57:27.320
<v Speaker 2>makes you who you are.

0:57:28.160 --> 0:57:28.760
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean.

0:57:28.840 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 2>And you've been able to, like you said, average mofucker

0:57:32.560 --> 0:57:34.400
<v Speaker 2>can't go sit down and go and be in a

0:57:34.400 --> 0:57:35.880
<v Speaker 2>whole tank and go to jail.

0:57:36.800 --> 0:57:37.800
<v Speaker 1>That's your experience.

0:57:38.720 --> 0:57:41.320
<v Speaker 2>So whatever that put you there, you were able to

0:57:41.600 --> 0:57:45.040

<v Speaker 5>this was when everybody's wearing for real hats. Yeah, like

0:58:39.400 --> 0:58:46.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, the smoky the beer hat. But I remember

0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:48.040
<v Speaker 5>having this outfit. I had to put the outfit on

0:58:48.080 --> 0:58:51.200
<v Speaker 5>and it was like too small. The pants wouldn't fit.

0:58:51.440 --> 0:58:53.760
<v Speaker 5>Like I was, I'm like a thirty four, thirty six.

0:58:54.240 --> 0:58:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like a few thirty thirty.

0:58:57.320 --> 0:58:59.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, for sure, I was like a forty or some

0:59:01.640 --> 0:59:04.880
<v Speaker 5>fordy I'm talking about big boy big. I said, hold on,

0:59:05.480 --> 0:59:07.960
<v Speaker 5>you know what, I can't do this no more.

0:59:08.320 --> 0:59:09.120
<v Speaker 1>But I was. I was.

0:59:09.480 --> 0:59:11.320
<v Speaker 5>I had to go through a lot of boot camp,

0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:12.960
<v Speaker 5>dancing and everything else to get back.

0:59:13.000 --> 0:59:20.120
<v Speaker 1>But Nigga ship back though, yeah, because you was all right.

0:59:20.280 --> 0:59:23.640
<v Speaker 6>It was terrible I'm telling you that's depressing time of

0:59:23.680 --> 0:59:24.120
<v Speaker 6>my life.

0:59:24.120 --> 0:59:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Bro. I Chris Brown, it was a Brown Brown. When

0:59:33.560 --> 0:59:36.480
<v Speaker 1>did you really get into the business, like start owning

0:59:36.520 --> 0:59:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the business of all of that, because that's what people

0:59:38.600 --> 0:59:40.640
<v Speaker 1>really don't know about you. I think.

0:59:45.480 --> 0:59:46.200
<v Speaker 6>I did that first.

0:59:46.280 --> 0:59:48.400
<v Speaker 5>And I would be like I was seventeen when I

0:59:48.400 --> 0:59:51.480
<v Speaker 5>started trying to invest in certain things just because I knew, like,

0:59:51.880 --> 0:59:54.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, unless you torn, unless you like, you don't

0:59:54.040 --> 0:59:55.920
<v Speaker 5>know how how long you're gonna be successful.

0:59:55.920 --> 0:59:58.680
<v Speaker 6>And it's not like every artist can make it look.

0:59:58.560 --> 1:00:00.320
<v Speaker 5>Like they getting money, getting money, getting my If you're

1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:02.520
<v Speaker 5>not a touring act, if you're not doing stuff, you're

1:00:02.520 --> 1:00:05.480
<v Speaker 5>not gonna you need an exit strategy. So I would have, like,

1:00:05.600 --> 1:00:07.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, the business people around me at the time,

1:00:07.840 --> 1:00:09.560
<v Speaker 5>I can't say they were good at the time, but

1:00:10.000 --> 1:00:12.040
<v Speaker 5>you know, my investments were like into burger kings and

1:00:12.080 --> 1:00:14.000
<v Speaker 5>stuff like that, just so I could have a portfolio

1:00:14.040 --> 1:00:16.760
<v Speaker 5>of and you know, constant income.

1:00:17.120 --> 1:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>You know.

1:00:17.440 --> 1:00:19.320
<v Speaker 5>So that was my first step. But when I really

1:00:19.400 --> 1:00:22.520
<v Speaker 5>started getting into like the music side, like the executive side,

1:00:22.760 --> 1:00:27.480
<v Speaker 5>it was like I was twenty five, and what happened was, uh,

1:00:27.640 --> 1:00:29.800
<v Speaker 5>Loyal and all these other records had already been been

1:00:29.840 --> 1:00:32.160
<v Speaker 5>blowing up, so and I was out of my almost

1:00:32.200 --> 1:00:34.640
<v Speaker 5>out of my contract, so I was able to negotiate.

1:00:34.640 --> 1:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, cool, well.

1:00:35.760 --> 1:00:38.800
<v Speaker 5>Now that I have leverage as an actual not an artist,

1:00:39.080 --> 1:00:40.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to be an artist.

1:00:40.200 --> 1:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to be fifty to fifty profits shared with

1:00:42.120 --> 1:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys.

1:00:42.600 --> 1:00:44.120
<v Speaker 6>I want to have the same deal birdman.

1:00:44.160 --> 1:00:46.400
<v Speaker 5>I got universal, like you know, you know, I asked

1:00:46.400 --> 1:00:47.920
<v Speaker 5>around trying to figure it out so I don't have

1:00:48.000 --> 1:00:51.360
<v Speaker 5>to be getting you know, cents on the.

1:00:51.320 --> 1:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Dollar, right, you know, just living off advances. You get

1:00:53.680 --> 1:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying.

1:00:54.200 --> 1:00:57.160
<v Speaker 5>So from there that was my first step boom, and

1:00:57.160 --> 1:00:59.240
<v Speaker 5>then I think they were like oh and then they

1:00:59.400 --> 1:01:01.000
<v Speaker 5>kind of like, you know what, fuck it, we'll do it.

1:01:01.080 --> 1:01:03.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, shit, damn, I'm like the youngest nigga with this,

1:01:03.880 --> 1:01:05.760
<v Speaker 5>with this deal right here. I don't think nobody knows,

1:01:05.840 --> 1:01:07.800
<v Speaker 5>you know. So that was my first step. Then after

1:01:07.840 --> 1:01:10.480
<v Speaker 5>that was me trying to own my masters. So I

1:01:10.480 --> 1:01:12.400
<v Speaker 5>think when I was like twenty seven or twenty eight,

1:01:12.680 --> 1:01:15.520
<v Speaker 5>like by that time, it was a renegotiation time, and

1:01:15.560 --> 1:01:18.160
<v Speaker 5>I was like, hey, cool, I still want this, but

1:01:18.320 --> 1:01:21.280
<v Speaker 5>let me get my masters from here. From from I

1:01:21.320 --> 1:01:24.280
<v Speaker 5>think from my fame albuming up, I said, let me

1:01:24.280 --> 1:01:26.080
<v Speaker 5>get the Masters from there, and then I'm able to

1:01:26.160 --> 1:01:28.800
<v Speaker 5>come back and negotiate, you know, in six years for

1:01:29.280 --> 1:01:32.479
<v Speaker 5>the first album and all of my shit. So being

1:01:32.480 --> 1:01:34.920
<v Speaker 5>able to have that type of structure deal like shout

1:01:34.920 --> 1:01:36.720
<v Speaker 5>out the Mark Pits again, you know what I'm saying,

1:01:37.160 --> 1:01:39.959
<v Speaker 5>Peter Edge, everybody that was you know, everybody that really

1:01:40.000 --> 1:01:41.360
<v Speaker 5>kind of like looked and say, you know, we'll give

1:01:41.400 --> 1:01:41.880
<v Speaker 5>them this deal.

1:01:42.200 --> 1:01:44.440
<v Speaker 6>And Barry Rice, Barry Rice.

1:01:44.280 --> 1:01:47.240
<v Speaker 5>Is like he put the shit down, like he really

1:01:47.240 --> 1:01:49.880
<v Speaker 5>he the one that kind of allowed me to be like,

1:01:49.920 --> 1:01:52.440
<v Speaker 5>you know what, here a fucking kid, take it.

1:01:53.000 --> 1:01:53.560
<v Speaker 6>You got it?

1:01:53.720 --> 1:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you had made them so much. Yeah, but

1:01:57.680 --> 1:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>let's let's also speak on it. Let's not let's not

1:01:59.760 --> 1:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>just breeze over that the fact that.

1:02:04.280 --> 1:02:08.840
<v Speaker 2>You understood though, I got to prove myself first, because

1:02:08.880 --> 1:02:11.640
<v Speaker 2>now we have these we have these new artists who

1:02:12.000 --> 1:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>come into the game thinking they can own the Masters,

1:02:14.880 --> 1:02:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Like why would I let you have the Masters or

1:02:17.920 --> 1:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>why would you deserve your masters? In the beginning, if

1:02:20.680 --> 1:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>someone is actually making the initial investment and they're not worthing.

1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:29.240
<v Speaker 2>So somebody walking into the door saying why I owe

1:02:29.280 --> 1:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>my masters. Okay, well what are you going to do

1:02:30.800 --> 1:02:32.760
<v Speaker 2>with it? Do you know how to license it? Is

1:02:32.760 --> 1:02:36.200
<v Speaker 2>there any distribution for it? And is it worth anything

1:02:36.680 --> 1:02:39.880
<v Speaker 2>in the beginning? Right, so you were able to say, hey, listen,

1:02:40.720 --> 1:02:45.760
<v Speaker 2>now I want from fame ongoing, and now I'll put

1:02:45.760 --> 1:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>myself in a position because I'll continue to be successful

1:02:48.760 --> 1:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>to come back again, renegotiate and get those initial albums

1:02:52.920 --> 1:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>as well.

1:02:54.280 --> 1:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>That's just smart business. And I think embedding on yourself.

1:02:59.520 --> 1:03:02.479
<v Speaker 2>But I think people want to skip the steps and say,

1:03:02.520 --> 1:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>oh well this labeled like listen, labors are going to

1:03:05.160 --> 1:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>be what they are.

1:03:05.760 --> 1:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Labors are going to be in their banks and that's

1:03:08.520 --> 1:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>what they do.

1:03:09.080 --> 1:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>But they also have infrastructure to put you in a

1:03:12.160 --> 1:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>place that's unimaginable.

1:03:14.880 --> 1:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:03:15.600 --> 1:03:18.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, absolutely, I don't disagree with that at all, you.

1:03:18.480 --> 1:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Know what I mean.

1:03:19.320 --> 1:03:22.040
<v Speaker 2>And so I think you should be, for lack of

1:03:22.040 --> 1:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>a better term, a poster boy of like listen, just

1:03:24.480 --> 1:03:28.320
<v Speaker 2>be successful, Just be great, You be great. You get

1:03:28.480 --> 1:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>everything you're supposed.

1:03:29.720 --> 1:03:30.439
<v Speaker 1>To out of this ship.

1:03:30.600 --> 1:03:33.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and get the right lawyers. Make sure your lawyers

1:03:33.520 --> 1:03:36.320
<v Speaker 5>is looking over your country. Yeah, and so you got

1:03:36.360 --> 1:03:38.880
<v Speaker 5>to make sure everybody you know, when I was young,

1:03:38.920 --> 1:03:42.520
<v Speaker 5>I was. I was fortunate enough to be saved on

1:03:42.600 --> 1:03:45.240
<v Speaker 5>certain things, but I was my deals weren't always great.

1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:47.720
<v Speaker 5>So once I was able to be able to be

1:03:47.720 --> 1:03:49.360
<v Speaker 5>more independence, like, look, I got a little bit more

1:03:49.440 --> 1:03:51.840
<v Speaker 5>leverage now, and they then, you know, they made all

1:03:51.840 --> 1:03:52.840
<v Speaker 5>this money and all that.

1:03:53.160 --> 1:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm more like, you know, I'm.

1:03:54.560 --> 1:03:58.560
<v Speaker 5>Able to now see real money or see something from

1:03:58.640 --> 1:04:00.880
<v Speaker 5>what I've created because I know I created it. So

1:04:00.920 --> 1:04:02.480
<v Speaker 5>now you know I can go and do this. Now

1:04:02.600 --> 1:04:04.640
<v Speaker 5>I can create some more. Wait till you'll see what

1:04:04.680 --> 1:04:06.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm about to create. So now I get to own

1:04:06.800 --> 1:04:09.320
<v Speaker 5>all of that, you know. And and it's like like

1:04:09.360 --> 1:04:11.200
<v Speaker 5>you said, I'm like a testament to that to hey,

1:04:12.440 --> 1:04:14.240

1:04:17.680 --> 1:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>is the way you go to the studio.

1:04:20.160 --> 1:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, It's like that's what I said. Your me and

1:04:22.600 --> 1:04:25.720

1:04:55.400 --> 1:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I got the picture.

1:04:59.200 --> 1:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Listen already waiting for what these pictures are gonna look like. Man,

1:05:03.080 --> 1:05:05.160
<v Speaker 2>you know shit is gonna be insane.

1:05:05.400 --> 1:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit, here's a last question, bro, How do you

1:05:10.000 --> 1:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>do like eight thousand songs in one night? Bro? Like you,

1:05:13.720 --> 1:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>how is that even possible that you I come to

1:05:17.320 --> 1:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>your house and there are I just left your house

1:05:20.840 --> 1:05:22.760
<v Speaker 1>two days ago and I come back and there are

1:05:22.840 --> 1:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty new songs. How?

1:05:26.080 --> 1:05:27.920
<v Speaker 5>I just feel like a lot of the times, you know,

1:05:27.920 --> 1:05:29.240
<v Speaker 5>how I used to be in the studio back in

1:05:29.240 --> 1:05:30.320
<v Speaker 5>the day. Even I'm like, yo, come.

1:05:30.240 --> 1:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>To the studio, Like, I just think you what did

1:05:33.480 --> 1:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you call you? Master?

1:05:34.240 --> 1:05:36.720
<v Speaker 5>Something that you spend more than one hundred hours on

1:05:36.840 --> 1:05:40.280
<v Speaker 5>or something? So I think I've just tried to overly, overly,

1:05:40.400 --> 1:05:42.880
<v Speaker 5>overly overly master it. So me being in the studio,

1:05:42.960 --> 1:05:44.560
<v Speaker 5>like I might have an idea in my head, or

1:05:44.600 --> 1:05:46.560
<v Speaker 5>I might just hear some songs like, man, I need

1:05:46.560 --> 1:05:47.280
<v Speaker 5>to get on my game.

1:05:47.320 --> 1:05:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I need to steal.

1:05:48.160 --> 1:05:50.400
<v Speaker 5>It's like shooting jump shots, like you know, you gotta

1:05:50.440 --> 1:05:52.400
<v Speaker 5>make sure if you don't, if you don't shop at

1:05:52.400 --> 1:05:53.960
<v Speaker 5>the tube, it ain't gonna work. So I feel like

1:05:54.720 --> 1:05:56.960
<v Speaker 5>me being in the studio is where I kind of live.

1:05:57.000 --> 1:05:58.560
<v Speaker 5>I got two studios, you see the house. I got

1:05:58.560 --> 1:06:01.280
<v Speaker 5>two studios in the house, so so I can change scene,

1:06:01.360 --> 1:06:04.280
<v Speaker 5>real change, like you know, mental states when I'm in

1:06:04.400 --> 1:06:05.200
<v Speaker 5>different studios.

1:06:05.840 --> 1:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen that you're making the amount of songs

1:06:10.440 --> 1:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that the underdogs, all of us in different rooms, used

1:06:13.720 --> 1:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>to make. It was it was six of us, and

1:06:15.480 --> 1:06:17.919
<v Speaker 1>he's still making more than just wanting. We were making

1:06:17.960 --> 1:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>money at night.

1:06:18.760 --> 1:06:21.840
<v Speaker 2>We weren't writing twenty songs at night.

1:06:31.280 --> 1:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>You got it. You gotta how many times you have?

1:06:35.240 --> 1:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I said before like fifteen thousands.

1:06:38.000 --> 1:06:41.160
<v Speaker 5>But then but then I think I miscalculated, you know,

1:06:41.280 --> 1:06:42.840
<v Speaker 5>So it's it's a world champlainship.

1:06:42.920 --> 1:06:45.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that was that was I think I was thinking

1:06:45.080 --> 1:06:45.240
<v Speaker 6>of it.

1:06:45.320 --> 1:06:47.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, okay, I got this, yeah a lot of

1:06:49.200 --> 1:06:51.880
<v Speaker 5>so I'm gonna be realistic and it's it's in the

1:06:52.000 --> 1:06:56.520
<v Speaker 5>eight thousands to nine thousands, though it's a lot, like like.

1:06:56.680 --> 1:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>It's finished or just pieces.

1:07:00.560 --> 1:07:02.200
<v Speaker 6>I can say pieces, it won't it won't be.

1:07:02.480 --> 1:07:04.040
<v Speaker 5>It might be first verse, cause you know how I

1:07:04.120 --> 1:07:06.240
<v Speaker 5>used to send demos out to be first verse or

1:07:06.280 --> 1:07:08.920
<v Speaker 5>chorse and then no second verse. So it'll be stuff

1:07:08.960 --> 1:07:12.800
<v Speaker 5>like that, So it's like, yeah, collectively, is that a.

1:07:12.800 --> 1:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Lot of that's insane? Bro mm hmmm, what you got

1:07:17.200 --> 1:07:17.880

<v Speaker 2>niggas breaking his own rest.

1:13:24.640 --> 1:13:26.960
<v Speaker 5>I think Eras is like certain songs that I what

1:13:27.080 --> 1:13:29.760
<v Speaker 5>I was going through at certain times, like damn, like

1:13:29.960 --> 1:13:31.120
<v Speaker 5>like how you like no bullshit.

1:13:31.520 --> 1:13:34.320
<v Speaker 6>For example, that era of no Bullshit and and Deuces

1:13:35.479 --> 1:13:36.160
<v Speaker 6>those songs.

1:13:36.240 --> 1:13:37.880
<v Speaker 5>When we did those songs, that was like when I

1:13:38.000 --> 1:13:40.920
<v Speaker 5>was at my lowest, Like I was like with the

1:13:41.000 --> 1:13:44.240
<v Speaker 5>back back against the wall, like no no support from

1:13:44.280 --> 1:13:45.719
<v Speaker 5>the label, no support from radio.

1:13:46.000 --> 1:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>They was like, you know what, we ain't fucking with you, mixtape,

1:13:48.160 --> 1:13:48.919
<v Speaker 1>You're canceled.

1:13:49.080 --> 1:13:51.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so these songs are mixtape songs that out ten

1:13:51.400 --> 1:13:53.599
<v Speaker 5>months before we put them on on that album.

1:13:54.040 --> 1:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. So and I'm I'm shot

1:13:55.920 --> 1:13:57.879
<v Speaker 1>the video for like twenty five hundred.

1:13:57.680 --> 1:13:59.759
<v Speaker 6>Each video Deduces video and no bullshit.

1:13:59.800 --> 1:14:02.840
<v Speaker 5>But it was it was like being an independent artist

1:14:03.120 --> 1:14:05.400
<v Speaker 5>and grinding your motherfucker yourself being like, you know what,

1:14:05.439 --> 1:14:07.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna prove them wrong. So I could say those

1:14:07.960 --> 1:14:10.040
<v Speaker 5>songs would be an error, and then then it could

1:14:10.080 --> 1:14:13.240
<v Speaker 5>be the next songs that I'm doing. So it switches

1:14:13.280 --> 1:14:15.720
<v Speaker 5>all the time. Yeah, you know, I feel like I

1:14:15.800 --> 1:14:18.879
<v Speaker 5>can always go back to different songs and then relive

1:14:18.960 --> 1:14:20.960
<v Speaker 5>those moments in my head and be like damn that happened,

1:14:21.520 --> 1:14:23.760
<v Speaker 5>and also remind myself like damn, I do remember that,

1:14:24.360 --> 1:14:24.560
<v Speaker 5>you know.

1:14:25.080 --> 1:14:30.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's spilled your voltron you're super R and B artists,

1:14:30.680 --> 1:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>we want to know who you're going to get the

1:14:32.120 --> 1:14:37.479
<v Speaker 1>vocal from, the performance style, the styling, from the heart

1:14:37.560 --> 1:14:40.679
<v Speaker 1>of the artist, the passion of the artists. And since

1:14:40.760 --> 1:14:43.280

<v Speaker 6>Yes, it's gonna be like a hybrid. It's gonna be

1:15:22.320 --> 1:15:23.559
<v Speaker 6>Mike and Tevan Jackson.

1:15:25.280 --> 1:15:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, uh, performing style on stage Michael Jackson. I could

1:15:32.280 --> 1:15:36.719
<v Speaker 1>have guessed down. Yeah, that was easy. Yeah, Okay, styling,

1:15:37.000 --> 1:15:37.880
<v Speaker 1>who's gonna put this ship?

1:15:42.160 --> 1:15:50.360
<v Speaker 5>Damn Uh, It's gonna be a hybrid, another hybrid. It's

1:15:50.400 --> 1:15:53.280
<v Speaker 5>gonna be like a trifecta hybrid Michael me and and

1:15:53.400 --> 1:15:57.280
<v Speaker 5>usher mm hmm. As far as styling, and I gotta

1:15:57.280 --> 1:16:00.720
<v Speaker 5>say in this in this category because like and through

1:16:00.800 --> 1:16:03.240
<v Speaker 5>his erarors, from the my Ways to the you know,

1:16:03.560 --> 1:16:08.560
<v Speaker 5>everything he'd done has has been visually like stamped in

1:16:08.640 --> 1:16:09.679
<v Speaker 5>your head to where.

1:16:09.479 --> 1:16:12.360
<v Speaker 6>It's picnic iconic, you know what I'm saying.

1:16:13.600 --> 1:16:15.799
<v Speaker 5>He made niggas wear coofies and ship like you remember,

1:16:18.120 --> 1:16:21.640
<v Speaker 5>So it's like certain things will always be embedded in

1:16:21.800 --> 1:16:24.760
<v Speaker 5>style and fragments to me. So it's like Michael was

1:16:25.080 --> 1:16:30.240
<v Speaker 5>the definition of that, Like he could wear wrestling looking yeah,

1:16:30.360 --> 1:16:31.760
<v Speaker 5>like being his own icon.

1:16:33.120 --> 1:16:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I think when we talk about styling, not even to

1:16:35.680 --> 1:16:37.880
<v Speaker 1>stop you here, but I think you're the first person,

1:16:38.520 --> 1:16:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the first artist that I've ever walked into the room

1:16:41.640 --> 1:16:45.479
<v Speaker 1>to the dressing room and they were like the racks.

1:16:45.640 --> 1:16:48.880
<v Speaker 1>There were racks on racks on racks of clothes and

1:16:49.000 --> 1:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you had no idea what you were going to put

1:16:50.880 --> 1:16:53.000

<v Speaker 6>So what I've done the last couple of tours and

1:17:17.400 --> 1:17:18.759

<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking he about to do it songs or do something.

1:23:57.080 --> 1:23:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, this is crazy about to go crazy here.

1:23:59.760 --> 1:24:03.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the nigga goes on a forty five minute rent

1:24:05.120 --> 1:24:07.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm talking about talking. I'm talking about saying all of

1:24:08.000 --> 1:24:09.439
<v Speaker 5>everything that about nothing.

1:24:09.800 --> 1:24:13.600
<v Speaker 6>It's like it's it's so just like disappointing.

1:24:13.720 --> 1:24:15.479
<v Speaker 5>Like when I was in there, I started looking around

1:24:15.520 --> 1:24:19.559
<v Speaker 5>and then from the club being a yeah, everybody turning up,

1:24:19.640 --> 1:24:22.000
<v Speaker 5>maybe hollers some girls, what's up, it went from that

1:24:22.160 --> 1:24:24.360
<v Speaker 5>to looking like the waiting room in Hell.

1:24:24.840 --> 1:24:25.560
<v Speaker 1>That's what I felt like.

1:24:25.640 --> 1:24:29.719
<v Speaker 6>It was like, yeah, like everybody turned into psychopath people.

1:24:30.280 --> 1:24:32.479
<v Speaker 5>And he was not saying you know what I'm saying

1:24:32.520 --> 1:24:35.680
<v Speaker 5>the topic of what his rent was about was was like,

1:24:35.840 --> 1:24:39.120
<v Speaker 5>what the fuck put the music back on? Like that's

1:24:39.240 --> 1:24:42.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, that's how I feel. So in that club,

1:24:43.200 --> 1:24:45.679
<v Speaker 5>there's a there's a secret area that's like a resting area.

1:24:45.680 --> 1:24:48.040
<v Speaker 5>You can go down at the club, so I said,

1:24:48.479 --> 1:24:50.320
<v Speaker 5>I told one of the hummies, I can't. I don't

1:24:50.360 --> 1:24:52.360
<v Speaker 5>want to sit up here and hear this shit all night.

1:24:52.439 --> 1:24:55.800
<v Speaker 5>So I'm going downstairs. I'ma cheer. I'm gonna smoke this

<v Speaker 2>was this record that we had and I had this

1:27:01.280 --> 1:27:03.840
<v Speaker 2>crazy idea to turn this rap record into an R

1:27:03.880 --> 1:27:07.000

<v Speaker 2>and this record has lived on to this day. I

1:27:21.760 --> 1:27:25.240
<v Speaker 2>cannot go to a club. It's still I'm going to

1:27:25.400 --> 1:27:29.160
<v Speaker 2>hear the R and B version of up to this day.

1:27:29.479 --> 1:27:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Nigga sending me videos from France, sending me video on Japan,

1:27:33.760 --> 1:27:37.320
<v Speaker 2>anywhere in the world, and the fact that you obviously

1:27:37.360 --> 1:27:39.120
<v Speaker 2>you did that for me because we're brothers, but the

1:27:39.240 --> 1:27:42.800
<v Speaker 2>fact that you were able to help me make this

1:27:43.080 --> 1:27:45.599
<v Speaker 2>record that came from the bed area and my young

1:27:45.720 --> 1:27:48.160
<v Speaker 2>boys had had this song and it was blown up

1:27:48.720 --> 1:27:49.000
<v Speaker 2>and you.

1:27:49.439 --> 1:27:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Helped them take the record worldwide. Yeah, I just want

1:27:51.960 --> 1:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to say thank you, No, thank you. I appreciate you

1:27:54.080 --> 1:27:54.240

1:27:55.880 --> 1:27:58.640
<v Speaker 5>See I'm bad with thank you. Like when people think

1:27:58.720 --> 1:28:01.720
<v Speaker 5>me become like bro ship you help me all the

1:28:01.840 --> 1:28:03.479
<v Speaker 5>same in the same token. I look at it like

1:28:04.200 --> 1:28:05.800
<v Speaker 5>like if you would have called and if it was

1:28:05.840 --> 1:28:06.400
<v Speaker 5>a Wax.

1:28:06.240 --> 1:28:08.479
<v Speaker 6>Song, we would be like, let's try a different record.

1:28:09.200 --> 1:28:12.080
<v Speaker 5>But it's like, you know what what a song gonna do,

1:28:12.160 --> 1:28:14.000
<v Speaker 5>And then at the same time, it's even easier when

1:28:14.040 --> 1:28:15.960
<v Speaker 5>it's when it's like family. When you got people that's

1:28:16.120 --> 1:28:17.960
<v Speaker 5>around you that are musically gifted and they do the

1:28:18.000 --> 1:28:20.960
<v Speaker 5>same thing you do. It's not a conversation like nah,

1:28:21.000 --> 1:28:23.320
<v Speaker 5>I can't really do it, or no, I'm here whatever

1:28:23.360 --> 1:28:23.799
<v Speaker 5>you need.

<v Speaker 1>and this nigga wouldn't go nowhere.

1:28:36.320 --> 1:28:40.160
<v Speaker 2>And performance, or I was becoming your manager. I don't

1:28:40.439 --> 1:28:42.400
<v Speaker 2>that ship he was. He was he was behind the

1:28:42.479 --> 1:28:45.880
<v Speaker 2>scenes and it was promoters offering him the best.

1:28:47.200 --> 1:28:48.840
<v Speaker 1>We had some other ship we had to do though. Man,

1:28:48.880 --> 1:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Look at us now, Look at us now?

1:28:53.280 --> 1:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>You got records now?

1:28:57.120 --> 1:29:01.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, they be lonely? What the fuck is we doing?

1:29:02.920 --> 1:29:04.640
<v Speaker 5>I under saying, y'all know me and this nigga got

1:29:04.680 --> 1:29:05.880
<v Speaker 5>a record again.

1:29:06.439 --> 1:29:09.720
<v Speaker 1>It's all right, it's so way. Let y'all know that

1:29:09.800 --> 1:29:14.439
<v Speaker 1>we got a record. Thank you again. Listen, brother to

1:29:14.479 --> 1:29:18.080
<v Speaker 1>say we love you would be an understatement. You already

1:29:18.120 --> 1:29:21.360
<v Speaker 1>know what that means. My brothers. We don't play no

1:29:21.479 --> 1:29:23.360
<v Speaker 1>games about Breezy. You know what I'm saying. And that's

1:29:23.439 --> 1:29:26.719
<v Speaker 1>in real life. That's not that's not music, that's not entertainment.

1:29:26.840 --> 1:29:29.960
<v Speaker 1>That's that's real life, in real life. And so I

1:29:30.040 --> 1:29:33.479
<v Speaker 1>think people have known by you know, all the times

1:29:33.520 --> 1:29:36.040

1:29:37.120 --> 1:29:40.720
<v Speaker 1>fuck you niggas up you fuck around with the fuck

1:29:40.760 --> 1:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>around yeah alone. But my congratulations to you man for

1:29:47.360 --> 1:29:50.280
<v Speaker 1>continuing to work hard, bro. And I think that that's

1:29:50.360 --> 1:29:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the separation between you and everybody that you've probably seen

1:29:55.000 --> 1:29:58.120
<v Speaker 1>from the last twenty something years come and go. You

1:29:58.320 --> 1:30:02.720
<v Speaker 1>just won't stop working. And and that is commendable with

1:30:02.840 --> 1:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>the success that you've had, that you are still aspiring

1:30:06.800 --> 1:30:09.679
<v Speaker 1>and still pushing to do more and to be greater.

1:30:10.520 --> 1:30:13.479
<v Speaker 1>Like if if if I'm telling my son to chase

1:30:13.520 --> 1:30:17.920
<v Speaker 1>anything saying you watch Chris Brown, you watch that journey

1:30:17.920 --> 1:30:19.880
<v Speaker 1>and you watch him work, and that's how you work,

1:30:20.680 --> 1:30:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's how you find it. We appreciate you man. Listen, man,
