If you don't like 45 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: the way she's saying, don't listen period. But but I 46 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: believe what he was trying to say. It's like because 47 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: Betty Right is like, like, um, that's like she's the vocalist. 48 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: You rest in peace to her. So so is he? 49 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: Is he when he thinks that? Is he comparing Betty 50 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: Right to be honest? Is that's what he's doing with that? 51 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: I had saw with like how he tried to He 52 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: never he never backed down. He stood firm in his opinion. 53 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: But he yeah, But he was trying to say, like 54 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: Whitney Houston and h he named other days Anita Baker, 55 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: Gladys Night, Beyonce is not that type of artist, like 56 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: she can go there because she's done the movie like 57 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: Ella fish Gerald, Uh, where did she do? La? Wasn't 58 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: all yeah when she yeah when she sings like she 59 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: could give you that. But she's all around entertainer. We've 60 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: never seen Anita go up in the air and sing 61 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: upside down. We've never seen Anita do the booty hop. 62 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: We've never seen Whitney. Whitney can say she came straight 63 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: from church and that's what she was. But from a 64 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: singer's perspective, if you honestly have ever been in any 65 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: of their presence, you can see they have difference. Asks 66 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: like me and her don't even sound like So there's 67 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people who could do what you do, 68 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: but you can't do what they do, and vice versa. 69 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: So with that being said, since he does this thing, 70 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: I understand his opinion. But let's just be real and 71 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: let's be honest. This generation, if I ask my kids 72 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: right now, my oldest is eighteen, my youngest five, have 73 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: you ever heard of needy? Who that you feel me? 74 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: They know who Beyonce is, They're not gonna know who 75 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: a Betty Right is. So it behooves us to be like, Okay, 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: this is y'all Betty right? What this is my Betty Right? 77 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: So honestly, yeah, it's the generation, this inneration. Don't be careous. 78 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: So let me ask you all my kids don't care 79 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: and then you care about me perspective, What does it 80 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: take to be a real true singer? From your perspective, 81 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: there's gifts and there's talents, and then there's people who 82 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: just get by because like, let's just be real, there's 83 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people, in my opinion, be like they 84 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: can't say but I won't say it anymore. I used 85 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: to say it out loud, but I realized, altot honestly 86 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: save the music industry because there's a lot of people 87 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: who can't even up on be who can't even wrap orders. 88 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna be key because people be. You ever see 89 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: people they'll sing there, they'll wrap their song and then 90 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: when they get live, you're like, why is you yelling? You? 91 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: But your hands up like it is what it is. 92 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: But although to honestly save the music industry, the sound 93 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: has changed since I came out. I started touring in 94 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: ninety three, ninety one. I was still in high school, 95 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: so my uncle took me on tour. So that's where 96 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: I got to learn sound and tone, pitch control, all 97 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: of that stuff. Because I'm thinking I could sing and 98 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: he'll call me. He'd be like, what's that diaphragm doing? 99 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: Because don't get out there just hollering. But yeah, so 100 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: the technical part of singing, there's only a couple of 101 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: people who get it. And it's not even your throat 102 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: or your diaphragm, it's what you hear and you have 103 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: to think about what you're gonna do before that sound 104 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: even comes about your out your mouth. And because it 105 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: was being used in studios, people was using vote quarters 106 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: and stuff, which was a formal auto tune because you 107 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: plug it up to a keyboard on the microphone and 108 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: it actually balances out, you know, the note that's supposed 109 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: to be correct sauce if you turn it off and 110 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: don't documented. We were teeth pain and saying that I 111 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: shall um killed the Yeah, there's actually documentary that goes 112 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: with it. I am Pop and the guy who invented 113 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: auto tunes on there and he said it's because he 114 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: was recording his boss's wife and uh, his boss wife 115 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: knew she couldn't sing, and said, I need I swear 116 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: to God, I can't sing, but I wanna look like 117 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: I can. And then he made auto tune for like 118 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: people automatically think auto tune auto makes you sound good, 119 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't. You have to have somebody that's a skilled 120 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: engineer know how to balance it up because there's melodine, 121 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: there's vocal, a line, there's so many things that people 122 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: just and I'm like, I use auto tune because they 123 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: are Sometimes I'll be like, okay, I have a strong vibrato, 124 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: so I was I don't like the then when you 125 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: hear people but some people going and I'm like, oh no, 126 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: it's like pitch correct. It's auto correct. So have you 127 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: type of somebody type to give you a suggestion, this 128 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: is what you should use. But the blessing about what 129 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: I have is that I don't need it, but I 130 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: use it because I realized that the sound, but whatever 131 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: they corrected to, I can still do it with my voice. 132 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: That's a gift basically. Yeah, if you're just like if 133 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: you have a saxophone, if you all what it's gonna do, 134 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be squeaking. But even when you use the 135 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: auto twol you never used it live because that's like 136 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: a whole different skill. Yeah. I always use like reverb 137 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: or a little delay live because it's something those plug 138 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: ins or those things were created so you can still 139 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: have that feel. Because if I'm singing in this room, 140 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: the acoustics on it's gonna make you feel something. But 141 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: if I'm singing in the dynamic or we're singing in 142 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: the dome, the sound goes up, it's not gonna sound 143 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: the same as in he So those things were created 144 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: by people, by master people sitting in from the computer 145 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: all days saying Okay, this is the sound I want 146 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: to I want to captivate that same sound as if 147 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: we're still here. So have you ever heard that there's 148 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: a difference between a dry mic, a rappers mike, and 149 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: the singers mike. I always tell people I do a 150 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: lot of shows with rappers to this day, and I'm like, 151 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: don't make my mic sound like a rapper mike. They 152 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: don't use reverb, they don't use auto tune, they don't 153 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: use delay, they don't ye period. Oh my god. So um, okay, 154 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: let's think it from the beginning. Right when we google, 155 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: you would say he was born in Long Island, but 156 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: then you moved to bottom Are. No. I was born 157 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: and raised in Long Island, between Long Island and South 158 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: South Jamaica Queens. So my dad joined the military. After that, 159 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: we moved to Texas, Atlanta, North Carolina Army.

I 389 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: keep on getting unlimited car services and she put six 390 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: hundred thousands in my account. So I'm bawling right now. 391 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: I was literally what years old and she sent the 392 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: bag for really one thing about Sylvia, she has no 393 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: like she's the one like everybody else. If you get 394 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: signed to somebody else, you have to wait for the clearances. 395 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: Cy say, send it over, Burper does like they sent 396 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: it over between uh, Sylvia and Slim. They're the only 397 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: ones that I know can literally make a phone call 398 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: and the baggage with Yeah, you've got a good because 399 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people having bad stories for cash money. 400 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: So you have good cash money stories. Yeah. Yes, got 401 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: paid and shot like bad videos and got paid. It's 402 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: like I can understand where things go. But you have 403 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: to know who to. You have to know how to 404 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: handle your business. You know what I'm saying. Like I 405 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: was signed to them, but it was Merlin. Bob did 406 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: a joint venture with them. It was called round Tape 407 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: at that time. I don't remember this. Yeah, it was 408 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: because they were doing like side they had the cash 409 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: money classes with tinam Reresid Pistoja and then they had 410 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: round Table. They had other deals that was going on. 411 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: So the blessing and I think the reason why I 412 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: don't really have any war stories is because they respected 413 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: me as an artist. Number one. Number two is it 414 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: was literally right around when Katrina happened, so the label 415 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: shut down anyway, so it was almost like I didn't 416 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: even have to do anything but shoot videos and then 417 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: they just let that company dissolved. I was like, I 418 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: didn't have to go through any foolish but I got 419 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: to work and do shows and stuff with Wayne, so 420 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: I got the benefits, worked with Mandy Fresh, got to 421 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: work with Baby, so the checks was like it was 422 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: running up. So I'm not mad at it, and to 423 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: this day, like still the respect is dead. That's dope. Now, 424 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: when I googled you, this is something that that that 425 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: probably got a little crazy for me, right, not not crazy, 426 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: not crazy, but it was like when I when I 427 00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: was got deeper, they put all of your husband's right, 428 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: they put your husband's out. Husband's husband was actually the 429 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: dates and the time. And I've been wondering who did 430 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: get information? Who is the Wikipedia, Google god wizard of 431 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: all that knows all this because it'll be something and 432 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: I've been like, what, I ain't even remember that. It's 433 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: somebody that big brother. Maybe it's the government defense, you 434 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: know what the defenses. But yeah, I saw that tip. 435 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: That's crazy. That's how did you feel when you've seen that. 436 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: I was just like, it don't exist to me anymore, 437 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: anything pre pandemic, don't exist to me anymore. I handled 438 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: my business. I realized that was the top I can 439 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: admit and I take full accountability of. I didn't know 440 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: how to separate the artists from the from the human, 441 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: so the person from the from the person, so meaning yourself, yes, 442 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: so little more, there's little more, and then Cynthia, there's not. Yeah, 443 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: And there was a time where I think that they 444 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: messed together and that I should have never allowed that 445 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: to happen. Um. I just watched Mary J Blige on 446 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: My Friends show The Breakfast Club. Mary J Blige said 447 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: for years she didn't know her worth, she didn't feel 448 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: worth it, So how can it hasn't ever been a 449 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: time where you felt like that, like really, so you 450 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: could be on the cloud, you could be getting all 451 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: this money, all these shows coming things, and everything is 452 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: running up, but then you sit back and you're just like, 453 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: I can really be just trying to give me anything, 454 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: And something like that recently happened. I think those are 455 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: tests because then it's just like it comes to say, 456 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: let me see if we can still get you and 457 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: I'd be like, nah, I used to didn't say no. 458 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: I literally used to pop up to everything and oh, 459 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: you know someone still having the part. I'm outside your 460 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: someone so much you're singing this. I'm gonna send the vocals. 461 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: But then I realized, wait, I said the vocals back 462 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: that same day. Why it is taking them so longer? Yeah, 463 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: we're going a different direction. I'll be like, man, you 464 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: and your direction. You feel me so? But then I 465 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: realized I was literally taking things per snoop and my 466 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: team literally broke down to me. That was just like, yo, 467 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: this is business. Stop taking this so personal. So once 468 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 1: I separated those two, that's what I know. It's up 469 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: from here on. Now, Okay, we're gonna jump in a 470 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: quick time and slim. You're gonna do it. We're gonna 471 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: do it it music.

He always did up to stand 522 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: like Chris got something his ass out to stand out. 523 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: He did. But they both go out to the point 524 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: where they were telling us who was going down, and 525 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: then soon after they were telling us what the real was. 526 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: They were. They were more conscious than the brothers with 527 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: the beads. You think about it when you're thinking about it, 528 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: that they be superwoken. Yeah, you need to go to sleep. Yeah, 529 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: it was smart. Was Michael was telling us Earl everybody's catalogs.

What was it work? I'm sure he had more. 539 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. Probably he probably got ship my old 540 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: wing like that was the one that came to was like, Michael, 541 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: so we know you did thriller and we're just going 542 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: over the royalties for that. But they have the elephant 543 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: man balls will sell you. Think about that conversation period.

So I was doing radio that and she 601 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: was like we was doing at the time. I mean 602 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: not Baltimore because we was Baltimore. It was between we 603 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: did Baltimore and I did d C.

But that's only because 606 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: I was major before. So now what I would say, 607 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 1: go major, learn the games, and go indie. I can 608 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: get it with that, so I don't have to take 609 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: no shot. Oh God Jesus like em. Like. The reason 610 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: being because when I was in high school, I used 611 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: to think I was like so bad. So once I 612 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: met I was like yeo. I literally told I wanted 613 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: to be you so bad. And the love song when 614 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: you say you love me it don't you've been thinking 615 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: to egantistical and just work. But what you say, I 616 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: take none of this seriously and that's when we stipp 617 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 1: the right out the world. You couldn't google it. So yeah, 618 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: like empt like that's honestly one of my biggest this one. 619 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: I don't know this is up in the end, all right, 620 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: Kim or Foxy, honestly hold your shot.

So 634 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: she broke down racial barriers that we wasn't doing. Foxy 635 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: was spitting like a nigger when she came out. Girls 636 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: wasn't spitting like that. Like I go back and listen 637 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: to her over she was going to win.

If I would have came here, my 655 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: nails wasn't done, or at least dress night. This just 656 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 1: wore anything, really like, so it's a standard. And honestly, 657 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: I just think that literally wore anything today, literally literally 658 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: literally literally did that.

Like literally before 671 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: I pulled up, I took my star for because I'm like, 672 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 1: if I go in there with this one, if somebody 673 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 1: sneak a picture, they go out this a bit just anything. 674 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: So people just say whatever they want about females. Males 675 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: have the privilege they don't have to go to sound 676 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: check I'm pretty, and they're not allowed to. Like now 677 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: it's a standard where you know a lot of people 678 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: they want to walk around bust down from the risk 679 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: to the to the to the ripped up like now 680 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: everybody want to look esthetically, you know.

Let you come out and have a baby 685 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: and a year later your body is still holding onto 686 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: that weight or that stressing, that postpartum and you have 687 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 1: a breakdown. This crazy everything will be held against you 688 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: as a female in this industry. And I can attest 689 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 1: to that because I've I've dealt with it. I have 690 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: social media. I ever got on your your nerves where 691 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: it's like you didn't want to, you didn't want to. 692 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,919 Speaker 1: Is there any like a room whatever spread through social 693 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: media that wasn't true that got to you. I used 694 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: to I used to realize that I would react to everything. 695 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: I think. It's my Napoleon comparens on what they gotta do. 696 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:46,399 Speaker 1: Is I accept all? And I think my service like yeah, 697 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: because I know what I'm sure. I always know that 698 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 1: my personality has to be big. So when I enter 699 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: the room, I'm just like my whole way is T'm 700 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 1: gonna get out this motherfucker.

So I don't know what I'm gonna have 706 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: to do with sometimes to be higher places, but you 707 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: don't know who y'all lying you. This is real, like 708 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,479 Speaker 1: people trying to get you there just so they could claim, 709 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: or they'll pay you to come somewhere just to be 710 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: on some bullshit or they're paying, they're just like, yeah, 711 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna keep on pushing it back, like not the fun. 712 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: I have an O C D complex as well. It's 713 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: like if I'm late, I literally have a mental break 714 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: that they'd like, calm the funk dead, like stop acting 715 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: like that. But I realized I've learned how to overcome 716 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: some of my insecurities what they call them. But I 717 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,919 Speaker 1: just like, no, it's just certain things that I've dealt 718 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: with all my life. So it's just like scorp that 719 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: novem me pup draking and people people think that we're weird. 720 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: We're just missundersmelling you come out all right, you don't 721 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: like noc is. I just feel that everybody wants to 722 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: be a Scorpio because we think four people. So I've 723 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: never got into anything or seeing anything on the internet. 724 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: They're one things that I've seen and I'm just like, 725 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: I don't even go with that person no more deal 726 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: with them. So it'd be all something. I'll be a 727 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: people like, yeah, well what about that time. I'm like this, 728 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 1: that was two years ago? You still thinking about I 729 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 1: don't had a whole another I have a whole another 730 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: life now, like, and I know that people love to 731 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: live in the past, but they don't want I don't 732 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: live there no more. So if you're still there, then 733 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: you know I'm not there anymore. So I used to 734 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: react to everything. People would say something. I'd be like, bitch, 735 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: we'll pull up sinnaty, we hunt you damn. And that's 736 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: weird because you say that to people. Yeah, yeah, you 737 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 1: gotta stop that. Yeah, I was wilding out, but honestly 738 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: that's when I was get high. So you mean, so 739 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: you telling me there should be people on Twitter. I'm 740 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 1: assuming Twitter slash greatest place on Earth because like you 741 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: can use it for the whole school on there. It 742 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: was this one girl said something and I because that 743 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 1: I come from jokes like yeah, and then the whole 744 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: school jumping, and I was just like yeah, but look 745 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: at this bitch that go to your school. I just 746 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: kept on pulling that one thing I've learned, it's like 747 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: when you're getting it. I'm around all comedians a lot 748 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: from Cat Williams, like just to certain people, so it's 749 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: like that's all we do is joke. But I realized 750 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: that people can't take a joke and those people they 751 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: don't know what. Let me just tell you, you're also petty. 752 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: I am, yeah, because I'm a petty president and you 753 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: described he just cribed a lot. But I've learned, so 754 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: you so yeah, what y'all used to call it jonah 755 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: joking cracking snap. Yeah, so we're snapped. So I'm thinking that, oh, 756 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: if they follow me, they know what I'm giving. They 757 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 1: know with vibal on. So when I realized people are 758 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 1: getting offendsed like why would you say that? And I 759 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: was just like damn, like they was in college. I 760 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: don't never best with nobody kids. I don't play with 761 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: people kids. I don't even play with my own Like 762 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: it's your certain levels. You know what I'm saying. But 763 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: if you're on the internet and you come for me 764 00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: and you're a kid, I would like put your mother 765 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: on the phone because if my child did that, I'll 766 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 1: be like, don't you disrespect? Nor don't I'll play that 767 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 1: I don't like that. That's where I joined the line. 768 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: But you never know who's who behind that, but you 769 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,399 Speaker 1: could pretty much tell when they try to say something 770 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: corn of your kid, you feel me. But I had 771 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 1: to get out of that because that's like a defense mechanism, 772 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: which I realized was a part of my complex because 773 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 1: I always felt that I had to defend myself. So 774 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: I realized, stop, you know, reacting to everything ignored. Why 775 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: do you can't you feel me? Because if you're pre 776 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: social media, you're gonna yeah. Because like we literally, me 777 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: and Missy who were sitting in the studio, we used 778 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: to joke like all day. That was as soon as 779 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: we get there, we're working between but it was just 780 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: like I don't know this, Nick ain't got don't know 781 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 1: goddamn so and it was just like just keep going 782 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: and going. We would joke for hours but begin to 783 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 1: to hit records time. So that's what I was used to. 784 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,800 Speaker 1: So when I thought I was sharing my personality, I 785 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: realized people were taking it personal. And that's where you know, 786 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: you gotta learn how to join the line and realize 787 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: everybody and your friend and every but everything ain't funny noise. 788 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: You guys are far too fine. Was hot boys came? 789 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: Boys drop them before? Yes, it was like literally it 790 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: was like a domino effect. Okay, once we did hot 791 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: boys didn't put it on?

But the word and 801 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: the way that I got it was like, um, after 802 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: they did. I think the song. I think it was 803 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: every little thing that we did. I think it was 804 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: that one um the big records, and I think DMX 805 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: was coming out.

It was. It was like dying down and 815 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 1: so IRV was just like, yo, I need you for 816 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: this record. The record is done, but you know I 817 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: need you to come up with that right track. Studio. 818 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,879 Speaker 1: There was the engineer, I said, everybody get out. There 819 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: was the engineer. Young girl. You know what that you 820 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: know what it is? Young girl? A little girl. Yeah. 821 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: I went in there and I literally didn't write anything down. 822 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: I started. I would take me from the top and 823 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna work my way down. So I started off 824 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: with the intro and I sang it between and like 825 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: I literally did it like homework. I started from the top. 826 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,320 Speaker 1: See me to tell me when you walk in the studio, 827 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: they don't have this already laid off for you know. 828 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: They didn't tell me what to say, what this thing 829 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 1: that was for you? Yeah, a lot of people, but 830 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 1: that's how I work. Is just like play me something 831 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: or play me a beat. I'm gonna do what I 832 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 1: do and I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna kick everybody out 833 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: the room because when I'm in my space and then 834 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: in my zone and I know that it has to 835 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: be a hit record. Like Missy told me that too. 836 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: Don't let nobody in it because if you were working 837 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: as a school teacher, if you work at scientists, yeah 838 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: nobody can stand on. But some people are having a 839 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,320 Speaker 1: million people in there. In my anxiety, I'd be like, 840 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: can y'all please get out? Because of my message? Why 841 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 1: I like that having a million people that I started 842 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 1: writing rhymes in jail, you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, 843 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: it's horrible. Um, yeah, so I was used to noise. 844 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 1: I was used to like you know, like what I 845 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,880 Speaker 1: don't know if you ever seen Malcolm Max said he 846 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: used to sit down and look at the light and 847 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: he would read. I would do that too, but I 848 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: would read to write rhymes. But if you at jail 849 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 1: at night when you're writing rhymes, it's the most awkwardest 850 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: sounds every but it's chaos. So you're here, dude, oh 851 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 1: miss my mom, you're here due jerking off and you 852 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 1: like like like Yeah, it's just created so many It's 853 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 1: so so I got used to And first off, I 854 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 1: used to had the right rhymes to the radio station. 855 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: I didn't have beats in jail, so I would hear 856 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,879 Speaker 1: a radio station, I would have to write my room 857 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 1: over over you. So I got so used and accustomed 858 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,919 Speaker 1: to that that if I have peace and quiet, I'm 859 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 1: not at peace and quiet I needs because if I 860 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: hear something, I'm like, what's going on over there? I 861 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: can't focus. But I've learned how to focus, but I 862 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: don't want nobody in there because if I mess up, 863 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 1: I just feel like I'm shrinking. So it's just like, 864 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 1: you know, literally less, it's more for me, And it's 865 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 1: crazy it happens. You got the right track and corner 866 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: studio with the gold door because Guro had his own room. 867 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 1: So I literally had to do the song that day. 868 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,280 Speaker 1: And then they scared me because they was just like, Okay, 869 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,239 Speaker 1: well you can't leave yet because Leo's coming. Wow. And 870 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 1: I had met Leo previous to that because I was 871 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: gonna sign a def jam. Tina Davis and Kevin lost 872 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 1: Davis an empire right now, Kevin, now that you're still 873 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: on the elector at this time. Yeah, yeah, I was 874 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 1: on the lecture at that time. But um, I remember 875 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: Leo came in and he was standing there. He was 876 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 1: just like like, you know, he's he doesn't give you 877 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 1: expression or emotion. He's man of little to very little emotions. Yeah, 878 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: he was like, this is a like I'm just like 879 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 1: a man. That was it. And literally once we recorded 880 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: the record, IRV was ahead of the game whether dem 881 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 1: jam was gonna prove it, approve it or not. He 882 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,240 Speaker 1: was already on the sky Tell texted all the p ds, 883 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 1: I'm about to send your record. So during mixing then 884 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: we sent it out, he was like, you ready to 885 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,320 Speaker 1: be the funk out of here. I'm ready to be 886 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: the fun. And after that the floodgates open. So Hot 887 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 1: Boys already introduced me to the world, put it on me, 888 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 1: gave me the world. So wow, that's that was hard. 889 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:07,839 Speaker 1: So so at one point you and Jabu had some discrepancies, right, 890 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,320 Speaker 1: is that before I cried? You know, you say I 891 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 1: cried was recorded prior to that. But I think I 892 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: seen you on one or six in part one, right, 893 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: and I think it was a G unit type of thing, 894 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 1: and I think you kind of I'm correct. Already sounds crazy. Um, 895 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,360 Speaker 1: and I think what you accused him of was you 896 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: said that they didn't pay you for the record, so 897 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: they didn't pay you for the video or something like that. 898 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't remember what it was for anything. Wait, wait 899 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: a minute, what not even publishing them? I later got 900 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:45,840 Speaker 1: two point five later. Yeah, you have to fight for it. Yeah, okay, 901 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 1: but that's why God makes some mistakes. Yeah, so I 902 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 1: did the record. The album has already done. Put it 903 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 1: on me, I cry, Okay, I cried. It's cool that 904 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: I got my right percent. Put it on me once 905 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 1: I'm taking off it had it had did some many 906 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 1: weeks on one of six in Park at number one. 907 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,759 Speaker 1: People were accusing because they said, def jam be paying 908 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 1: for number one, but they were like, no, we can't 909 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,320 Speaker 1: fake a number one here because you have to actually 910 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: call in and they have to tally like with the 911 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 1: radio station when you get requests, you have to literally 912 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 1: keep a log of it or if you could get 913 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,239 Speaker 1: in trouble. So we would number one so much that 914 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: they had brought us on to retire the record, and 915 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to time. I don't I think we 916 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: would have first soldier boy, we was the first to 917 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 1: retire record. That was when we retired. We literally had 918 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: to retire because people were other labels and people were 919 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: complaining like, how can we can never get number one? 920 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: Just like nobody wants your record to be y'all are 921 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 1: not getting that many calls. So I'm thinking I was thinking, like, oh, 922 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 1: this record been out, that check gonna be crazy. I'm 923 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 1: gonna have as Martin would say, whoo woo whoa woo 924 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 1: who And when it wasn't a woo woo whoo whoa, 925 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,839 Speaker 1: I had began to inquire and I'm just like, well, 926 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,719 Speaker 1: what's up. I didn't charge your fee for it. I 927 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,880 Speaker 1: drove up there on my own dime, this and that. 928 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 1: But what I see now is is if you don't 929 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 1: handle your admit, that's when I'm really strict. And the label, well, 930 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,399 Speaker 1: the independent label that went now the Faculty Music Group, 931 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: we're real ship, Like we'll have the song literally, I 932 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 1: have the song on my phone, but until we get 933 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 1: the clearances and the splits are agreed and all the 934 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 1: paperworkers right this record, You're kid the light of day 935 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: because you have to be.

But after that I 938 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: learned to like, oh, yeah, I'll sing on your record 939 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 1: and I won't even charge your feet, but i'll charge 940 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: your higher percentage and higher points. So just get me 941 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 1: on the back end. That's what that means. She's just like, 942 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 1: what said the three points? Then it just give me 943 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,760 Speaker 1: four maybe fact which the long periods.

Yeah, be like, no, 947 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,160 Speaker 1: I can't be bored. So what exactly happened that Park thing? 948 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 1: What was what was being said? If my memory sold 949 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 1: me correctly, I remember we were introducing a video and 950 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,319 Speaker 1: at the end of whatever it was, I just said, 951 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 1: g unit, and I didn't know they was gonna keep it. 952 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,800 Speaker 1: I thought the mix was off, and they kept it, 953 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: and I realized, ship, here we go. But let me 954 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:23,400 Speaker 1: just give the backstory. I didn't honestly know the premise 955 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 1: of what was going on between them, but but you 956 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: didn't know it was at odds. I didn't know how 957 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 1: serious it was because before I did put it on 958 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: me before I did I cry. I did Somebody's Gonna 959 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: Die Tonight for the Romeo Must Die soundtrack with Dave 960 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 1: bing Bank. Dave bing b I n G. And he 961 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: was he was with Murdered eight. So that's how I 962 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,320 Speaker 1: got to be a Roman. So anytime that movie plays like, 963 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm just like whoa. The admin was great on that, 964 00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: so I thought everything would be right. But it was 965 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 1: something that happened at the video set and I remember see, 966 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 1: I know fifty before he did have to row and 967 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: went went around that top.

So we 972 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: was writing a song called fro Gayzy. And this was 973 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: before he was shot, and so he'd be like, this 974 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 1: is my homie fifty yo, he's about to blow.

But 1413 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:20,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of times I would say, but basically, 1414 01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 1: well we did after that, we did Can't let You 1415 01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,479 Speaker 1: go forever, Like we have so many records together, it's 1416 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:30,040 Speaker 1: like we have a whole I honestly know that we 1417 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:35,280 Speaker 1: wanted to do like a like a like a collaborative album, 1418 01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,760 Speaker 1: and I know he was like, def Jam wasn't with it. 1419 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:41,720 Speaker 1: I was like, man, let's do it ourselves. But now 1420 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,240 Speaker 1: we have the opportunity to have the opportunity to do it. Yeah, 1421 01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 1: so it's just like it is what it is, but 1422 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,840 Speaker 1: those fans are from the album. Just literally set le 1423 01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:55,400 Speaker 1: brated twenty years on June. So twenty years honestly having 1424 01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:57,640 Speaker 1: my first album out and he was a part of that. 1425 01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 1: We got two decades congratulating. Here's something I do want 1426 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:06,920 Speaker 1: to ask you, right because when we googled and we 1427 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,200 Speaker 1: kept googling, we didn't expect that you don't have a 1428 01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:14,400 Speaker 1: song with John Rule with me on my album? Is 1429 01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:18,720 Speaker 1: that that is true? Yeah? Yeah, I think after like 1430 01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,040 Speaker 1: the whatever happened with the fallout, we never but we 1431 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:25,240 Speaker 1: we have records that never were released. Okay, so it 1432 01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,639 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, we had records that were never released 1433 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,200 Speaker 1: or I think it was just because he was honestly 1434 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 1: the most dominant artist and they there was a time 1435 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:37,880 Speaker 1: when Murder Inc. Was a machine, like you was not 1436 01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:42,760 Speaker 1: permeating their goals. Yeah, it was that. So now once 1437 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:46,519 Speaker 1: I'm indeed I have that like when you can't you 1438 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:49,560 Speaker 1: can't get in, you can't get in. There was a 1439 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:57,760 Speaker 1: stop spelling bees and everything. So it's just like, I know, 1440 01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:02,479 Speaker 1: you couldn't you couldn't cut through. They had a run. 1441 01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,479 Speaker 1: You wasn't putting you wasn't cutting through like Earth had 1442 01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,000 Speaker 1: that ship or a lot Deaf Jam had that ship 1443 01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:10,600 Speaker 1: on a lock. So it's just like, if you was 1444 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 1: trying to do a female and a male song, you wasn't. 1445 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,120 Speaker 1: If he put out someone a female in the male, 1446 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,200 Speaker 1: you wasn't. You wasn't beating him. He mastered the game. 1447 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 1: He had all the PDS names and numbers in his phone, 1448 01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:24,000 Speaker 1: and he made them feel important because he would be 1449 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,120 Speaker 1: like here going to record the label because they're gonna 1450 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 1: move that. They paced, So it was just like he 1451 01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,240 Speaker 1: was always ahead of the game. So whenever their declination 1452 01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,720 Speaker 1: came in at where you know, things started, you know, 1453 01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:35,800 Speaker 1: falling apart, I don't. That doesn't have anything to do 1454 01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 1: with me because at the end of the day, I 1455 01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:39,560 Speaker 1: was never signed to murder any So it's just like 1456 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 1: you know that, but you are right, I don't have 1457 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:45,080 Speaker 1: any songs with him, actually want I just think that 1458 01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,400 Speaker 1: once me and Fab started doing records together, just like 1459 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 1: a missing him at certain people's chemistry that even though 1460 01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 1: you could have hits with other people, it's just certain 1461 01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 1: people's chemistry that surpassed that. Because yeah, so um, now 1462 01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:04,960 Speaker 1: we got this music is being handled. But now you 1463 01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:07,720 Speaker 1: do love a hip hop first, right before before you 1464 01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:14,920 Speaker 1: get electorate, you did something ODB. Yeah whoa oh man, 1465 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,559 Speaker 1: rest in peace to him. So I did good Morning Heartache. 1466 01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,720 Speaker 1: We made that and he specifically told Sylvia because he 1467 01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:25,960 Speaker 1: had a relationship with Sylvia that was uh like they 1468 01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,600 Speaker 1: was like homies. So he was like, I want to 1469 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:31,559 Speaker 1: get that girl on the record, the girl that he's 1470 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 1: singing stuff. So I'm thinking, like, this is od B 1471 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,400 Speaker 1: because he's a singer inside like you can tell he 1472 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,599 Speaker 1: was Yeah, but you're coming from growing up watching Wu 1473 01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 1: Tang and you see O d B. You thinking that, 1474 01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:45,920 Speaker 1: oh my god. Like honestly was afraid to go to 1475 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 1: the session because I'm like, I hope you don't be 1476 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,200 Speaker 1: in there acting weird because od B respecting ship out 1477 01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: you like everybody's like if he's if you delete. I 1478 01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,760 Speaker 1: was in a the session and he said, do not rewind, 1479 01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:00,320 Speaker 1: delete or do do exactly what I told you to 1480 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,519 Speaker 1: do because sometimes engineers get comfortable, and he started doing stuff. 1481 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 1: He said, did you record. I've seen him walk out 1482 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:07,600 Speaker 1: of a session where they recorded over his vocal and 1483 01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,280 Speaker 1: he left. But he would have people bring his reels in. 1484 01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:14,519 Speaker 1: They would be on in Dolly's and he'd be like, 1485 01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,400 Speaker 1: go to track, go to real or Real number three 1486 01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:19,240 Speaker 1: and they would find it. He would always come in 1487 01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,680 Speaker 1: with the sessions with his reels. So we recorded that 1488 01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,080 Speaker 1: at the Hit Factory, and I was so scared of 1489 01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:26,040 Speaker 1: going there and sing where he was like, going there 1490 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,320 Speaker 1: and sing how you sing? Don't worry about what I 1491 01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:30,600 Speaker 1: do or what anybody else has done before, you do 1492 01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 1: what you do.

And it made the album. So that 1497 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 1: was actually a dream come true because I was will 1498 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:50,760 Speaker 1: Tang forever the world. I've I've never worked before, I don't. 1499 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,080 Speaker 1: I think that was a fear of mine because you 1500 01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:56,080 Speaker 1: know why, because people they fell just do like You're 1501 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:57,960 Speaker 1: so like, well, what what what?

But he really whatever was going on, 1624 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,400 Speaker 1: he started invoking fearing the people to the point that 1625 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,680 Speaker 1: nobody wanted to pump gas. Like businesses was suffering, and 1626 01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,280 Speaker 1: nobody knew what he was.

We 1631 01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:34,120 Speaker 1: don't know if it was before, but nobody knew they 1632 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:35,680 Speaker 1: would catch him sleeping at the rest stop and they 1633 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:40,760 Speaker 1: truck blocking in. He didn't look like look snipers usually 1634 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:44,479 Speaker 1: look sniper. He didn't had a dirty, scruffy sniper looked 1635 01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:46,759 Speaker 1: like his name was Keith. He'd be on the internet 1636 01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:50,600 Speaker 1: all sweat about to go at it. It's about to 1637 01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:54,920 Speaker 1: be a shot.

I think between 1640 01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 1: the sniper it was just like I was pregnant at 1641 01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:08,000 Speaker 1: the time. So once people stopped, it was scary because 1642 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:09,840 Speaker 1: then it's just like, oh, this could be over here 1643 01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,960 Speaker 1: like here, yeah, It's like it got dangerous. And once 1644 01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:17,920 Speaker 1: he started going in areas that was Townson, that's that's 1645 01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:23,719 Speaker 1: a money areas tws O N. So when he started 1646 01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:26,320 Speaker 1: going into areas that he people thought he should be 1647 01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,439 Speaker 1: sniping and Baltimore like, that's that's messed up. But then 1648 01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:31,880 Speaker 1: when they had a composite sketch and I believe I 1649 01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:41,920 Speaker 1: don't know if it wouldn't, but he was. His preciseness 1650 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,479 Speaker 1: was they was just like they never thought it was 1651 01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,840 Speaker 1: a black person. He was at military though, right, I 1652 01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:50,439 Speaker 1: believe so. But then when they found out that the 1653 01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:52,839 Speaker 1: young boy leave Maumo was sniping, he was like fourteen 1654 01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:56,000 Speaker 1: and fifteen, how do you teach my son is about 1655 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,320 Speaker 1: to be How do you impression?

And one thing because now I can talk 1776 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:46,640 Speaker 1: about it because we couldn't talk about it before the 1777 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,080 Speaker 1: show came out, so I had to fake the funk 1778 01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 1: as if we were still together until the show actually aired. 1779 01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:53,960 Speaker 1: But that was back in nineteen So now I can 1780 01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:56,920 Speaker 1: talk about it. With that house, you're there for like 1781 01:34:57,160 --> 01:34:59,479 Speaker 1: thirty days, not thirty days or so like twenty eight 1782 01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:05,960 Speaker 1: days and anything after they say after things, you after tries, 1783 01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,160 Speaker 1: it's a habit, but when you're in that house for 1784 01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:11,000 Speaker 1: a week, it's almost I wouldn't say jail because I've 1785 01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:13,200 Speaker 1: never been to jail. But when you're in the middle 1786 01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 1: of nowhere, you can't leave. There's little to no WiFi connection. 1787 01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:22,200 Speaker 1: You have to stand by where that actual scene was 1788 01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:25,160 Speaker 1: filmed because that's where the WiFi connection is. The house 1789 01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:29,200 Speaker 1: is a dead zone. And before you film, they keep 1790 01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:30,960 Speaker 1: you in the hotel. You can't leave out your room. 1791 01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:33,280 Speaker 1: They bring everything to you. You don't have no room key, 1792 01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:36,200 Speaker 1: you don't have no access to the outside world. It's 1793 01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:39,760 Speaker 1: mentally designed to break you down because then you get 1794 01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:42,240 Speaker 1: when your mind is broken down. It's a real boot camp. 1795 01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:44,599 Speaker 1: And they let you know that and you sign off. 1796 01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:46,960 Speaker 1: So I know what I signed up for, but when 1797 01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:48,960 Speaker 1: you sign up for it, it's just like you know 1798 01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:51,880 Speaker 1: what you're getting into. But I went back to what 1799 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:56,920 Speaker 1: Mona says is, if you find out what is presented 1800 01:35:57,040 --> 01:35:59,080 Speaker 1: before you, and you find out that it is valid, 1801 01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:01,400 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do right? Because because how this 1802 01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:04,760 Speaker 1: happens right, because you will sleep At the time he 1803 01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:06,360 Speaker 1: was making I was gonna hold another side of the 1804 01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:09,960 Speaker 1: house as big as ships. You get lost in that motherfucker. 1805 01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:11,760 Speaker 1: And then sometimes they cut off parts of the house. 1806 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,160 Speaker 1: They'll be like Oh you can't know. You can't come 1807 01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:16,320 Speaker 1: over here because they're setting up scenes like you'll be 1808 01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:17,960 Speaker 1: sleep and you wake up and it's a whole fucking 1809 01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:22,400 Speaker 1: carnival houseide. So with that, I was on the other 1810 01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:24,439 Speaker 1: side of the house. So is it a cast member 1811 01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,519 Speaker 1: who tells you this or is it the actual staff 1812 01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:31,560 Speaker 1: or production? It's actually dr being doctor Ish And I 1813 01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:33,759 Speaker 1: could say it now because they came to me off record, 1814 01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:37,320 Speaker 1: because when you're filling doctor who dr V that's the 1815 01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:41,920 Speaker 1: lady and Dr Ish. I just don't know the doctor Okay, 1816 01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:46,120 Speaker 1: dr Ish, but Dr V was the white lady, right, Okay, 1817 01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:48,720 Speaker 1: I remember that. Okay, they came to me. It was like, 1818 01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:52,040 Speaker 1: can we talk to you? And like when they say 1819 01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:53,240 Speaker 1: they can they talk to you? They take you in 1820 01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:56,599 Speaker 1: this white room and are you automatically thinking that they're 1821 01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,519 Speaker 1: trying to start drama or you believe they're not there 1822 01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:02,320 Speaker 1: to start Okay? Cool, they're they're honestly they want you 1823 01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:04,559 Speaker 1: to bring the druma. They know it's only a certain 1824 01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:06,479 Speaker 1: amount of time you can last before the dramas. Like 1825 01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:08,120 Speaker 1: people can sit up there and try to hide, but 1826 01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:11,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna pop out because they're mentally funk with you 1827 01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:14,560 Speaker 1: till you be like, oh ship. So I was in 1828 01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:18,720 Speaker 1: the house with Soldier Boy India Jessica Dime and her 1829 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:27,000 Speaker 1: husband Tammy, and walk up and his girl was like, 1830 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,280 Speaker 1: so I was a house with soldier boy, but that's 1831 01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 1: like my nephew. So I literally got to see soldier boys. 1832 01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:34,639 Speaker 1: Time for you come to drink chats on me? Yeah, 1833 01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:38,200 Speaker 1: because I got to see everything that went down. So 1834 01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:40,439 Speaker 1: I've literally seen a lot of people grow up in 1835 01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:42,000 Speaker 1: the industry and then I got to live in the 1836 01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:44,840 Speaker 1: house with them. And seeing people in the industry and 1837 01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:48,800 Speaker 1: live with them is two separate things. So mentally, I 1838 01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,920 Speaker 1: saw everybody break down. And I'm not gonna put nobody's 1839 01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:54,280 Speaker 1: business out there.

So I 1932 01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,040 Speaker 1: needed those twenty eight days to break me down, because 1933 01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:08,960 Speaker 1: once I get out of this, I'm up and it's stuck. 1934 01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:15,760 Speaker 1: And then, you know, we've been saying that for years, 1935 01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:19,320 Speaker 1: what's up? It's up for you when it's because you 1936 01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:21,320 Speaker 1: know when it's up there, my heart, my daughter said, 1937 01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:24,280 Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, something like that. It's up in 1938 01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:25,920 Speaker 1: the stuff. So when they came out with a song, 1939 01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:28,400 Speaker 1: I was just like, it is what it is. So 1940 01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:31,360 Speaker 1: after that I realized, now it's trying to make your 1941 01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:34,080 Speaker 1: way of escape so you could stay and know the 1942 01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:38,320 Speaker 1: bullshit you dealing with and know that it's actually destroying 1943 01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:40,559 Speaker 1: your brand because once you don't know what they're keeping 1944 01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:43,120 Speaker 1: far as the footage, but once it's once it's out there, 1945 01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:45,160 Speaker 1: you already know what people's d m and you and 1946 01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:48,360 Speaker 1: sending you. You already know the truth. It's tough for 1947 01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:51,639 Speaker 1: you to face it. So me being a woman that comes. 1948 01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:55,160 Speaker 1: My parents are about to celebrate August night, they're celebrating 1949 01:42:55,200 --> 01:43:02,040 Speaker 1: forty years marriage. Both parents grew in church, grew up military, like, 1950 01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:06,519 Speaker 1: grew up bedtime, you know, a very lenient home. So 1951 01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:09,040 Speaker 1: what I was doing and how I grew up wasn't 1952 01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:11,920 Speaker 1: matching up. I was accepting things that I shouldn't even 1953 01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:17,560 Speaker 1: allow to permeate my space. So it was just like 1954 01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:20,360 Speaker 1: I had to make a choice. But when you're trying 1955 01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:22,360 Speaker 1: to leave a situation after the world was about to 1956 01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:24,280 Speaker 1: see like damn, I thought you was married this this 1957 01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,920 Speaker 1: is your third marriage. When they showed a thing like damn, 1958 01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:29,200 Speaker 1: bit a lady talking one time, every time I turned around, 1959 01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:30,880 Speaker 1: you get married. I saw a bit stop turning around. 1960 01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,840 Speaker 1: But then I had to realize for myself, fish stopped 1961 01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:40,200 Speaker 1: making permanent decision off temporary emotions. So I took that 1962 01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:43,320 Speaker 1: accountbating for myself. So honestly, marriage boot camp was for 1963 01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:45,360 Speaker 1: me to get my mentor together because it will put 1964 01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:46,960 Speaker 1: you in the space where you have no other choice 1965 01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:56,559 Speaker 1: but to fix fix it. Yeah, So it didn't complicated 1966 01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:59,760 Speaker 1: at all because I had a domestic uh case open 1967 01:43:59,840 --> 01:44:01,760 Speaker 1: with is a p F a protection from abused, So 1968 01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:03,760 Speaker 1: people a lot of people don't know, but people were 1969 01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:06,519 Speaker 1: telling me, But I was defending a situation which we 1970 01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:08,200 Speaker 1: know what the fun going on.

When I googled you, um, that was the 2032 01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:03,400 Speaker 1: third and that came up was opioids And I don't 2033 01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:08,800 Speaker 1: exactly know what is. Can you explain that wells are 2034 01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:12,040 Speaker 1: like percosets and it's a narcotic But it started with 2035 01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:15,000 Speaker 1: prescribed pills. It started with prescribed pills because us as 2036 01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:17,840 Speaker 1: in the black community, when we think of opioids, we 2037 01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:21,000 Speaker 1: always think that's a white thing. Yeah we're not realizing, 2038 01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:23,519 Speaker 1: But I don't live in a black neighborhood. You know 2039 01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:26,720 Speaker 1: what's crazy is the soccer moms. That's who be lit. 2040 01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:28,600 Speaker 1: You wonder why they'd be so hyping the carras be 2041 01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:32,360 Speaker 1: so lit. I'm like, oh, she's on man's wait wait there. 2042 01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:36,080 Speaker 1: Mostly they don't mostly purposes. They mostly do zanix a 2043 01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:39,599 Speaker 1: lot of that stuff. Like when I was the amount 2044 01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:41,519 Speaker 1: that I was doing for my height and my weight, 2045 01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:47,560 Speaker 1: it was unacceptable. So how does this happens? You you 2046 01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:49,920 Speaker 1: break a fingertip or something that you go to the doctor. 2047 01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:52,840 Speaker 1: All my children I have five children, all five were 2048 01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:56,200 Speaker 1: born via since area. So they give you all of them. 2049 01:47:56,439 --> 01:47:58,840 Speaker 1: And what does that? People that they cut you open. 2050 01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:00,600 Speaker 1: You don't push it out your pal all right, so 2051 01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,320 Speaker 1: cut you so they got used mads. After that they 2052 01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:04,880 Speaker 1: give you they give you a spinal so they don't 2053 01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:06,840 Speaker 1: give you a normal apple duel. So that means from 2054 01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:10,200 Speaker 1: here on down, well, from the waist on, from the 2055 01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:13,920 Speaker 1: ribs on down, everything is sleep. And before you can 2056 01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:16,200 Speaker 1: even go see your kid, for real, and before you 2057 01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:17,880 Speaker 1: go you have to you have to move your feet, 2058 01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:19,640 Speaker 1: is certain things you have to do. So when you 2059 01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:23,479 Speaker 1: have a V a vaginal birth, you can literally go 2060 01:48:23,560 --> 01:48:25,320 Speaker 1: home the next day. We have a C section, you're 2061 01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:30,839 Speaker 1: doing five days automatically. It's literally the most it's dangerous 2062 01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:33,200 Speaker 1: because everything is sleeping. A lot of people they'll do 2063 01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:35,479 Speaker 1: V back, which is vaginal birth after Ssian. But I 2064 01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:37,760 Speaker 1: don't want to feel no labor, so I opted for 2065 01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:39,960 Speaker 1: all cesaria. But I realized now I was just getting 2066 01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:41,720 Speaker 1: necessary because I didn't want to feel no pain because 2067 01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:44,040 Speaker 1: I was gonna throw enough in my life. So medicate 2068 01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:47,599 Speaker 1: me and give me my perks. And then after after 2069 01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:51,639 Speaker 1: these you're saying, after the the highest level of men's 2070 01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:54,080 Speaker 1: that you can get. Because what I'm saying, when when 2071 01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:56,679 Speaker 1: did you become to your thought, did you was addicted? 2072 01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,639 Speaker 1: It's after all five kids, or this is in between. 2073 01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:02,600 Speaker 1: It was between really because of day was giving you 2074 01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:05,120 Speaker 1: because they'll give you the mass. And then when they 2075 01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:08,840 Speaker 1: when they come past the point where it becomes uh, 2076 01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:12,400 Speaker 1: doctors can't lose their license for overprescribing. So then we 2077 01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:14,559 Speaker 1: start going to the street to try to pay an 2078 01:49:14,640 --> 01:49:16,840 Speaker 1: extra money. A thirty on the street now sixty dollars. 2079 01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:23,479 Speaker 1: Before it was like sixty's a shower. Thirty is the highest. 2080 01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:25,800 Speaker 1: If you go over that, then you're just asking motherfucking deaf, 2081 01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:27,760 Speaker 1: you might as well just do heroin. But I never 2082 01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:29,479 Speaker 1: wanted to do heroin because I'm like, oh, now I 2083 01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:32,600 Speaker 1: can't see myself. Are you are aware of what's going on? 2084 01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:35,720 Speaker 1: Like you're aware that this is almost this is like 2085 01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:40,439 Speaker 1: considered real drugs, even though you know you're getting it 2086 01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:42,800 Speaker 1: from a doctor, Like did you ever consider that this 2087 01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:45,320 Speaker 1: is crazy? Or I didn't care? Okay, because I'm like, 2088 01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:47,479 Speaker 1: I'm in the music industry.

And not realized what I 2173 01:54:06,800 --> 01:54:09,080 Speaker 1: was going through. I realized that I was trying to 2174 01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:15,200 Speaker 1: cover the pain with pills, but it was actually destroying 2175 01:54:15,240 --> 01:54:17,400 Speaker 1: my spirit. So that's why I we're retalited. I'll be 2176 01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:20,120 Speaker 1: throwing shoes that bitches be trying to fight, Like the 2177 01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:22,720 Speaker 1: last straw was.

So it's those those 2182 01:54:42,160 --> 01:54:45,160 Speaker 1: pills aren't designed to make you go crazy, but when 2183 01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:48,560 Speaker 1: you start making cocktails and using them, it does your system. 2184 01:54:48,680 --> 01:54:50,960 Speaker 1: Just like, wait, what the going on?

I said, you can't 2201 01:55:36,200 --> 01:55:39,120 Speaker 1: give me fired, which I'm number one, so I became 2202 01:55:39,200 --> 01:55:44,360 Speaker 1: copy at that point. That morning show was hard to 2203 01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:47,520 Speaker 1: be number one, but people would call and complain. But 2204 01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:49,640 Speaker 1: then when they call and complain and too much, you 2205 01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:51,800 Speaker 1: just like, all right, I gotta fall back. But nobody 2206 01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:54,640 Speaker 1: would tell me because I wouldn't listen because she was 2207 01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:56,160 Speaker 1: on the y'all. Of y'all.

So I knew only 2250 01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:04,880 Speaker 1: one place to run, and that's where I ran, and 2251 01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:08,480 Speaker 1: that's when I was just like I was tired of 2252 01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:11,800 Speaker 1: seeing and feeling like that. And honestly, I think I 2253 01:58:11,880 --> 01:58:15,920 Speaker 1: was more afraid of going through the withdrawal because a 2254 01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:19,080 Speaker 1: period you have to go through from anything from relationship, yes, 2255 01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:22,920 Speaker 1: it feels like death because I've tried it before and 2256 01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:24,160 Speaker 1: I was like, no, I can't do this, Just get 2257 01:58:24,240 --> 01:58:28,360 Speaker 1: me a pill. But I was afraid of a withdrawal 2258 01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:32,240 Speaker 1: and it was just like you want to die or 2259 01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:35,040 Speaker 1: and be selfish because you have children, or you wanna 2260 01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:39,480 Speaker 1: start from scratch, and started from scratch literally means starting 2261 01:58:39,960 --> 01:58:44,440 Speaker 1: everything over everything. So I was just like, nah, I 2262 01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:48,240 Speaker 1: didn't have these five children for no reason. And I 2263 01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:50,040 Speaker 1: know they was tired to see him because I wouldn't 2264 01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:52,360 Speaker 1: do stuff around up, but they could tell by my 2265 01:58:52,480 --> 01:58:55,080 Speaker 1: mannerisms and what was being posted online, like they can 2266 01:58:55,120 --> 01:58:57,480 Speaker 1: read and they can see. And when my son would 2267 01:58:57,480 --> 01:58:58,880 Speaker 1: come to me and stuff like look what somebody said, 2268 01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:00,680 Speaker 1: I would like get off the end the net. Stop. 2269 01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:04,400 Speaker 1: But that's all they know. Nobody watches TV. They google everything, 2270 01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:07,800 Speaker 1: they see everything. And I've also seen on Jason Lee 2271 01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:11,480 Speaker 1: show thing it's this podcast or something, and Jason Lee 2272 01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:13,840 Speaker 1: said he was asking you and you said that you 2273 01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:18,000 Speaker 1: went to a moment of depression, right, And um, I 2274 01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:20,440 Speaker 1: believe he said that you had to stay away from 2275 01:59:20,520 --> 01:59:23,440 Speaker 1: everybody at one point. Yeah, or what happened that? Then? 2276 01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:27,400 Speaker 1: Why did you feel like that? Because I knew that 2277 01:59:27,640 --> 01:59:30,440 Speaker 1: being around the industry and people it was toxic. And 2278 01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:33,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was them, it was me because 2279 01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:37,080 Speaker 1: I know that when I come around and returned, and 2280 01:59:37,640 --> 01:59:40,480 Speaker 1: it just felt like, as my now manager says, it 2281 01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:42,680 Speaker 1: feels like people were paying you to go to go away, 2282 01:59:42,720 --> 01:59:44,960 Speaker 1: And I said, what you mean about this, because it'll 2283 01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:47,120 Speaker 1: go from making a certain amount of night to people 2284 01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:49,240 Speaker 1: just trying to offer you anything, and just like, well, 2285 01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:51,800 Speaker 1: I'd rather get paid this this anything than do it 2286 01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:56,200 Speaker 1: for free.

And you have a podcast as well. Right, well, 2373 02:04:22,600 --> 02:04:24,800 Speaker 1: I did the podcast like two years ago and I 2374 02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:28,080 Speaker 1: was traveling to New York. I actually had the little motion. 2375 02:04:28,160 --> 02:04:30,440 Speaker 1: We was running right above Medicine Square Gardeners. It was 2376 02:04:30,480 --> 02:04:34,000 Speaker 1: like a little situation was, um, I forgot the station 2377 02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:36,520 Speaker 1: that was over there. They had a nice room, was 2378 02:04:36,560 --> 02:04:38,920 Speaker 1: like a stage and everything. So I was doing a 2379 02:04:39,080 --> 02:04:44,080 Speaker 1: podcast and I just realized, like the artist side, you 2380 02:04:44,240 --> 02:04:46,640 Speaker 1: have to like pick a side with R and B 2381 02:04:47,360 --> 02:04:50,240 Speaker 1: because when you're doing interviews and you have to discuss 2382 02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:53,840 Speaker 1: uh current events and when somebody do something crazy and 2383 02:04:53,920 --> 02:04:56,040 Speaker 1: you have to talk about it, people think that you hate. 2384 02:04:56,040 --> 02:04:57,480 Speaker 1: And I'm just like I literally used to have to 2385 02:04:57,520 --> 02:04:59,440 Speaker 1: tell artists will stop doing dumb ship and we don't 2386 02:04:59,480 --> 02:05:03,480 Speaker 1: have to report so because I really have to focus 2387 02:05:03,640 --> 02:05:06,280 Speaker 1: on my craft and my glow. It's just like I'll 2388 02:05:06,440 --> 02:05:09,600 Speaker 1: do the podcast where like everybody has a podcast. Now 2389 02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:12,680 Speaker 1: everybody's podcast, and I'll be like there's some people I 2390 02:05:12,800 --> 02:05:15,200 Speaker 1: be like, don't nobody. Then you gotta say, like people 2391 02:05:15,280 --> 02:05:16,800 Speaker 1: just think you get on the took. They don't realize 2392 02:05:16,840 --> 02:05:20,320 Speaker 1: this production is you have to stay current content everything. 2393 02:05:20,600 --> 02:05:22,680 Speaker 1: But I learned that from radio. So I literally came 2394 02:05:22,720 --> 02:05:26,080 Speaker 1: from Major and learned everything from the artist side to 2395 02:05:26,680 --> 02:05:28,800 Speaker 1: the radio side. Yeah, so it's like now I know 2396 02:05:28,920 --> 02:05:30,520 Speaker 1: how to rock it. So once I do my show 2397 02:05:30,680 --> 02:05:32,840 Speaker 1: this time, I think it would be through the roof 2398 02:05:32,880 --> 02:05:35,760 Speaker 1: because I got the friendships and the relationships where I 2399 02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:38,200 Speaker 1: could call anybody be on. But you gotta make sure 2400 02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:41,080 Speaker 1: people care. And did you like the reality TV when 2401 02:05:41,120 --> 02:05:44,960 Speaker 1: you did it? I did. But at the same time, 2402 02:05:45,040 --> 02:05:48,560 Speaker 1: it's just like I know that the higher ups have 2403 02:05:48,640 --> 02:05:51,360 Speaker 1: their favorites. He've be like, well they you know these episodes, 2404 02:05:51,400 --> 02:05:53,560 Speaker 1: and I don't know what see.

I didn't leave home at seventeen to lose, 2540 02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:49,960 Speaker 1: So even though I took some hits in between, I 2541 02:13:50,120 --> 02:13:52,120 Speaker 1: was just like, no, I'm always I don't know, like, 2542 02:13:52,200 --> 02:13:54,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what game got driving motivation then, But 2543 02:13:54,880 --> 02:13:57,880 Speaker 1: now what motivates me is my children, because I love 2544 02:13:58,520 --> 02:14:02,120 Speaker 1: I love my kids like the pandemic was a blessing 2545 02:14:02,200 --> 02:14:05,240 Speaker 1: because ever since the age of seventeen, actually before that fifteen, 2546 02:14:05,520 --> 02:14:07,440 Speaker 1: I've been on the road. So I didn't know what 2547 02:14:07,520 --> 02:14:09,200 Speaker 1: it was to sit down my ASTs down. Four year 2548 02:14:09,240 --> 02:14:11,400 Speaker 1: I would have a kid and within six weeks we'd 2549 02:14:11,440 --> 02:14:12,960 Speaker 1: be out. We've been on the road.

All right, I would have to 2560 02:15:05,920 --> 02:15:08,360 Speaker 1: choose Keep Sweat for safety reasons, right because he got 2561 02:15:08,400 --> 02:15:11,480 Speaker 1: to Jerry drib not even that okay, but Keep like 2562 02:15:11,600 --> 02:15:14,000 Speaker 1: we've never seen him. But Bobby was a bad boy. 2563 02:15:14,080 --> 02:15:15,680 Speaker 1: So I would hang out with Bobby, but I would 2564 02:15:15,720 --> 02:15:18,240 Speaker 1: ride get a rod home from Keith Sweat all because 2565 02:15:18,240 --> 02:15:21,520 Speaker 1: Bobby he gonna strow cocaine everywhere.

He just said, 2568 02:15:30,560 --> 02:15:32,800 Speaker 1: I've read some stories about James. I was just like, yo, 2569 02:15:32,920 --> 02:15:36,320 Speaker 1: he was lit when they said that man who told 2570 02:15:36,320 --> 02:15:39,280 Speaker 1: that story? Where did I hear that? On the table 2571 02:15:39,440 --> 02:15:44,600 Speaker 1: he threw the cocaine at the President. He was by 2572 02:15:44,640 --> 02:15:47,800 Speaker 1: brown fried chicken with cocaine. Now, that's that's pretty out 2573 02:15:47,840 --> 02:15:51,160 Speaker 1: of control. That's like, you know, like the flower the 2574 02:15:51,280 --> 02:15:57,880 Speaker 1: bat weed better, but then cocaine, cocaine got you gotta 2575 02:15:57,920 --> 02:16:07,200 Speaker 1: be asketball. That's expensive. That's who said that's in his book. 2576 02:16:07,480 --> 02:16:12,560 Speaker 1: He wrote that somebody wrote it was like, I'm gonna 2577 02:16:12,560 --> 02:16:15,240 Speaker 1: put something I don't even know you could fry coat, 2578 02:16:15,360 --> 02:16:18,080 Speaker 1: and then that's crazy. Man, I'm saying you're cooking cold. 2579 02:16:18,200 --> 02:16:24,800 Speaker 1: That's a chicken. I wouldn't even think, like I don't Yeah, 2580 02:16:24,880 --> 02:16:27,080 Speaker 1: that's the hot. I don't know how I started putting 2581 02:16:27,080 --> 02:16:30,800 Speaker 1: it in his book, in his book. And not only that, 2582 02:16:30,960 --> 02:16:33,000 Speaker 1: when I met Bobby Brown a getting like the third 2583 02:16:33,080 --> 02:16:36,160 Speaker 1: time and I met Brown, said what's up? He said, 2584 02:16:36,240 --> 02:16:39,440 Speaker 1: man I performed. He said, we used to be hurting 2585 02:16:39,480 --> 02:16:42,920 Speaker 1: your projects. That was the most I was like, yeah, 2586 02:16:43,120 --> 02:16:45,640 Speaker 1: let men tell yourself. Stalking that ship because I used 2587 02:16:45,640 --> 02:16:47,280 Speaker 1: to live in South Side, Jamaica, so I would have 2588 02:16:47,280 --> 02:16:48,760 Speaker 1: to go to beauty school. So when we were pasts 2589 02:16:48,800 --> 02:16:52,000 Speaker 1: left Rock, I was like, damn, I want to meet Noria. Now. 2590 02:16:52,080 --> 02:16:55,880 Speaker 1: I used to always think like people atomic like you 2591 02:16:56,200 --> 02:16:59,640 Speaker 1: draw pass and Nori would be there. Would I would 2592 02:16:59,680 --> 02:17:03,119 Speaker 1: have been. I used to be scared because left Rank 2593 02:17:03,280 --> 02:17:06,240 Speaker 1: is like Iraq, So it's just like you just don't 2594 02:17:06,280 --> 02:17:12,200 Speaker 1: go from Jamaica States where eventually moved to States. Yes, yeah, 2595 02:17:12,280 --> 02:17:16,600 Speaker 1: it's very rich, you're very rich. Yes, hold the buildings. 2596 02:17:17,240 --> 02:17:19,320 Speaker 1: So the building I lived in like, what the dad? 2597 02:17:19,520 --> 02:17:21,720 Speaker 1: So he owns it now, but it's just like damn 2598 02:17:21,879 --> 02:17:25,640 Speaker 1: like and you can't get out those contracts. I'm probably 2599 02:17:25,640 --> 02:17:31,279 Speaker 1: stilling it today. So when you overall the music industry, 2600 02:17:31,400 --> 02:17:35,880 Speaker 1: overall entertainment, what does your overall look at it? Like 2601 02:17:36,440 --> 02:17:40,000 Speaker 1: you happy, you satisfy? Are you sure that you luck 2602 02:17:40,120 --> 02:17:43,000 Speaker 1: you you feel great that you participated? Or this is 2603 02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:44,800 Speaker 1: something that if you had a chance to do it 2604 02:17:44,879 --> 02:17:48,680 Speaker 1: all over you would pick a different career. No, I would. 2605 02:17:49,280 --> 02:17:52,120 Speaker 1: This is the only job I've never worked at FedEx 2606 02:17:53,280 --> 02:17:56,400 Speaker 1: only I went to The most I've ever done was 2607 02:17:56,520 --> 02:17:58,240 Speaker 1: went to hair school. So this is all I know. 2608 02:17:59,160 --> 02:18:02,520 Speaker 1: So honestly, I think I would have stayed more. I 2609 02:18:02,560 --> 02:18:05,400 Speaker 1: would have student more firm. And I've never been associated 2610 02:18:05,400 --> 02:18:07,960 Speaker 1: now I have a team. I just always been associated 2611 02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:09,760 Speaker 1: with people, so I was never I was always torn 2612 02:18:09,840 --> 02:18:11,760 Speaker 1: with Murdering, but I wasn't never signed to them. I 2613 02:18:11,840 --> 02:18:13,440 Speaker 1: was torn with Missy, but I was never signed to 2614 02:18:13,800 --> 02:18:15,200 Speaker 1: I went on the Rock the Mic tour, but I 2615 02:18:15,280 --> 02:18:17,360 Speaker 1: wasn't signed the jay like the people that made the 2616 02:18:17,400 --> 02:18:19,119 Speaker 1: calls and be like, yo, we want you to run around. 2617 02:18:19,520 --> 02:18:21,560 Speaker 1: So it's just like I was never I was always 2618 02:18:21,600 --> 02:18:24,840 Speaker 1: affiliating associated with things, but I never had anything for myself. 2619 02:18:25,200 --> 02:18:27,080 Speaker 1: So now that I have a chance to rebrand, I 2620 02:18:27,120 --> 02:18:29,119 Speaker 1: wish I would have done it sooner because I think 2621 02:18:29,160 --> 02:18:32,600 Speaker 1: I would be yummy. I would own everything because I 2622 02:18:32,720 --> 02:18:34,640 Speaker 1: know the way I think, but I would put people 2623 02:18:34,680 --> 02:18:37,080 Speaker 1: in positions to pass me. But I'm not doing that 2624 02:18:37,160 --> 02:18:40,080 Speaker 1: no more, and I think that I should have done 2625 02:18:40,080 --> 02:18:42,640 Speaker 1: it sooner. But I get it. I didn't know the game. 2626 02:18:42,680 --> 02:18:45,680 Speaker 1: I didn't have the management. Yeah, Like I was literally 2627 02:18:45,760 --> 02:18:47,720 Speaker 1: doing a lot of things by myself. It felt like 2628 02:18:47,800 --> 02:18:49,760 Speaker 1: I was paying people to be my friends and to 2629 02:18:49,840 --> 02:18:52,960 Speaker 1: be around, so they would be management. It would be 2630 02:18:53,040 --> 02:18:55,240 Speaker 1: certain things. But I'm just like, wait a minute, like 2631 02:18:55,760 --> 02:18:59,280 Speaker 1: it just it just wasn't right. So I really thought 2632 02:18:59,320 --> 02:19:01,760 Speaker 1: it was the inertainment industry, so I was thoroughly and 2633 02:19:01,879 --> 02:19:05,520 Speaker 1: highly entertained. But it's the music business. So I did 2634 02:19:05,600 --> 02:19:07,840 Speaker 1: the music, but I didn't handle the business. So now 2635 02:19:07,879 --> 02:19:09,280 Speaker 1: have a chance to get it right. That's why I'm 2636 02:19:09,320 --> 02:19:11,560 Speaker 1: just like, I'm back for my second goal. Like you, 2637 02:19:11,959 --> 02:19:13,920 Speaker 1: nobody can't kick me at it. And I've never only 2638 02:19:13,920 --> 02:19:15,840 Speaker 1: think I've been kicked out was high school and they 2639 02:19:15,879 --> 02:19:20,840 Speaker 1: had to let me back in calling yes call, that's 2640 02:19:20,879 --> 02:19:27,000 Speaker 1: the brod answer because it's still the daytime. Okay, were 2641 02:19:29,160 --> 02:19:31,280 Speaker 1: let's see, But so what happened?

I remember standing in the boot of Whitney 2786 02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:14,520 Speaker 1: Houston and she given me a Fisherman friend because I 2787 02:27:14,640 --> 02:27:17,000 Speaker 1: was so nervous my throat dried up and she was like, no, 2788 02:27:17,120 --> 02:27:19,400 Speaker 1: that I do that, do that?

What do 2791 02:27:23,280 --> 02:27:26,280 Speaker 1: I remember Broker reducing Jerald LeVert and he wasn't singing 2792 02:27:26,320 --> 02:27:28,120 Speaker 1: a note wrong and all Star telling me no, he 2793 02:27:28,160 --> 02:27:29,360 Speaker 1: did the no wrong.

They better be careful 2799 02:27:46,280 --> 02:27:50,080 Speaker 1: because when you see Cynthia loving or because yeah, and 2800 02:27:50,120 --> 02:27:51,800 Speaker 1: then I was counting. I was just like, I got 2801 02:27:51,879 --> 02:27:56,039 Speaker 1: twenty in the possibles, a couple of possibles because people 2802 02:27:56,040 --> 02:27:57,280 Speaker 1: are like, oh you know one hand was like no, 2803 02:27:57,680 --> 02:28:00,840 Speaker 1: like I've done features and they are so that went 2804 02:28:01,360 --> 02:28:06,680 Speaker 1: see everything now they think it's viral. Rachel got so spancial, 2805 02:28:06,720 --> 02:28:09,280 Speaker 1: so he probably would have to battle. He would have 2806 02:28:09,360 --> 02:28:12,119 Speaker 1: to battle another guy. I used to vocal produce him. 2807 02:28:12,120 --> 02:28:15,760 Speaker 1: I did work with him too. Yeah, and I remember 2808 02:28:15,800 --> 02:28:17,160 Speaker 1: he used to be cutting up in the student They 2809 02:28:17,200 --> 02:28:18,600 Speaker 1: was like, no, make him saying, I'm just like he's 2810 02:28:18,840 --> 02:28:21,920 Speaker 1: not gone shore.

We survived 2815 02:28:33,640 --> 02:28:38,760 Speaker 1: the turnop. So seeing him go through, he's still in 2816 02:28:38,840 --> 02:28:43,400 Speaker 1: the turnop, but he survived. He was outside and I 2817 02:28:43,520 --> 02:28:45,480 Speaker 1: was around when he would go to the studio and 2818 02:28:45,959 --> 02:28:47,360 Speaker 1: be running around and be like, oh my god.
