0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody like I was supposed to sell it, and I

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.600

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>it's like, but it's about a girl. I was like,

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know why I thought you was from the UK Noma.

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.839
<v Speaker 1>I thought Virginia with the fingerwaves, like I know, I love.

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>It's not always like that. No, this is one new thing, right,

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know bringing them back? Okay, yeah, come onybody

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>jump over missing. But it's so crazy because I had

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I had figures in the nineties, just like everybody else.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>But it's like when you have short hair, you gotta

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>figure out are you gonna lace it with? We've what

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you mean the nineties? You like twenty five thirty three? Oh?

<v Speaker 1>I thought you was like, ok No, they lied one

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>time on week media and I liked it. I let

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>it go. That's how because everybody was so scared at

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the age. It was like talking about Beyonce, like is

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>she older than I was like, just stick with twenty six,

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>say it's work with that. Age is a blessing man,

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.799
<v Speaker 1>it is. I mean, what y'all see like the riots,

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't a riot, but y'all see, oh Monday last night,

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I like to call it non peaceful protest, which one

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>is the ones in New York. It was so scary

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.679
<v Speaker 1>yea and twenty people got arrested. We came from the movies.

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.240

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 1>New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Now because I

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>was on my way to the screening and all the

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>trees were close down and blacked off. It was a

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of chapping because of the protest. The police make

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.919
<v Speaker 1>it looks so scary You're like, oh my god. It

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 1>was like so many police people like running. I was like,

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>if we get out of here right, yes, now, you're

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a well known ghostwriter for really popular people ghost exactly.

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>But I tell you what, I getting mad when you

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>talk about the hits you rule no because they the

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>thing is okay. So when they say Nicki Minaj as

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the road nigga, I ain't never wrote a rap in life,

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>but Nicki Minaj I don't. I just sat in the

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>room with her and like and she's like, what I

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know, you know, I don't know you James and stuff.

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this is intimidate takes that very But the

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>thing is she should I write hooks? You know what

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Like with Rihanna, I write hook songs. Rihanna

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 1>don't care. She's like, yes, you know. Clive David said

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 1>he never let when he using them write a song.

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>He saidcause you're not a songwriter. Nicki Minaj is a writer.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.159
<v Speaker 1>She get write. We did Super Base together, so she

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>does write all her stuff. I write hooks for people,

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>which would give me the co write, and then I

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>write songs. What you give me the whole song? You know?

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Can you stay still? No, because I'm nervous. I want

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>you to go in and out of the night. Yeah,

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>she's really writing that. It is good and I love

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>these chairs. I know it's really writing. I know it's

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>like it's cool with that puddle coming from just playing

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 1>in my head. But they don't let anybody have writing

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>credits to or producer credit. If you look at her,

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm married and got writing credits. So that's a lie,

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, Beyonce. It's very you know, particular about what

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>she want to say. You cannot go and talk about,

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, breaking up with a boyfriend. She was like,

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not on that. It's a nice song, thank you,

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm married. I'm married. And then whatever you speak come

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>into this. You don't want to be singing about heartbreaking

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 1>and I'll say you're like, oh shoot, it just really happened.

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>So I get why she married don't talk about it either,

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>so I get it. How do you write for Bee though?

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I mean, could you say you write whole song

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 1>for running? You write whole songs with Beyonce? Well, one

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>song start over. I wrote the whole song, and she

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>chased some stuff and then countdown I wrote. We wrote

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>that with a whole lot of people, and then the

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>last time I went in, it's last time. We just

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 1>did a lot of scratches and then she goes and

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>see if she liked it. But I haven't gotten that

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>on Beyonce in a while. I'm like, dang's up, Like

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't like my stuff? Do you have to start

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>writing when you're doing movies? Like when you were filming

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>pitch Perfect too? Was it just working on the film?

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I made myself do that though, like last movie. I

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>did where have you been When? On Pitch Perfect But

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I was so unfocused and they was like, Esther, we

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>need you to say, And I would wake up sleepy

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>because I'm trying to stay at the studio and I

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>just felt like because I didn't. When I went to

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.239
<v Speaker 1>do pitch Perfect one, it was so nervous. I thought

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>that I was making a mistake because I was supposed

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>to be with Rihanna and Ireland doing Talk to Talk,

0:07:58.280 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>like doing that album, and I thought that I was

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>like cheating on my career. Like if this didn't go

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>to DVD, I'm gonna look stupid. I'm saying, like you

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>like they didn't know that movie is gonna be as

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>big as it wise really still didn't. I'm like, I

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>hope that, like we break a lot of barriers. It's time.

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>But this time I went to the set and I

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>was like, no music, no music, no music, because I

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be an actress. You know, I didn't want

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to be an actress when I first did It's perfect.

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to do a voiceover and then they gave

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>me that and I was like, okay, it's cool. You

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>did vitalful ice age, right, Yeah, yeah, I got to

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>be like a siren. But I feel like I got

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a voiceover voice yeah you do. It just won't grow,

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I know. I know. The songwriting got to be more

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>lucrative though, so like why even waste your time on

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>set when you could be getting that money and the

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>song writer that's what all great song right, No, Because

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the thing is it's first of all, it's lonely. It's lonely.

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>You go in the room, you see it is no

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>matter what the money is, what you give you got

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:59.839
<v Speaker 1>a boom more than that. No, it's it's it's like

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think music writing music is like a

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>saying asylum. It's like padded rooms that you singing to yourself.

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Nobody can't hear, but you think you're dope. You're like

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>this is a crazy area. And then on a film set,

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you just you can. I would like come in here

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>every day. That's thricee And like I talk to Charlotte,

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I can talk. I can talk to Angel. That's fun.

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 1>But I go to studio when I go to study,

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>just like now I feel you. But what about when

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you get that royalty check? Though that But it's not

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>all about the money. And that to my mama, like

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.439
<v Speaker 1>the money is something that makes me mad because everybody

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you want, you gotta make definitely keep them. They make me.

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>But it's like that's when people are like, why won't

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>she give me? Like me having these clothes on my

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 1>family would be like, what we just asked you for this?

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Why can't we get that you got to six hundred

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>dollars shoes on you got four diamond areas on the side.

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>You know what, No, it's like, don't talk. You know,

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's the thing of feeling over and title. You know,

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you're guilty because you got it in

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the family don't got it, and you try to give

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>them some and that ain't none of You gotta take

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.319
<v Speaker 1>your whole skin off and give it to him. You know.

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like you gotta give them where you have

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>nothing left so they can't ask again. So the money

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>becomes the problem, you know, in the success is what

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.199
<v Speaker 1>you want. So when I go and get to do

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.959
<v Speaker 1>movies a songwriter and I just kept off a tour Nikki,

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>that was I mean, I cried when she said yeah,

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I could come in because I opened up for her

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>and trade songs. And most of the artists I've worked

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>with would never do that. It would never learn and

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it must be a good feeling, Like to go to

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.079
<v Speaker 1>the club and they playing your song I wrote that song,

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Can I get in here? Please? Well, hell, I don't

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>go to the club. But I used to go to

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.199
<v Speaker 1>the club and it would make me depressed because if

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't hear my song, I feel like I need

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to go back to the studio work, and I haven't

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>heard some songs in a while because I stopped writing.

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm like, I don't want to be in here right,

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm jealous. It's very intriguing. And you you say you don't

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>go to the club. A lot of people feel like

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 1>they have to be in the club to see what's

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>going on to keep people. I'm moving to. I look

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>at people's instagram. Now. I like movies because I have

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to tell a story, so I don't need music and

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>music listening to music over and over again, I'm just

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>constantly dictating it and like, what is that? That's terrible?

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Why do you do that? It's it's a headache and

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Pitts perfect. It is probably a perfect movie for you

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>because you get to sing, you get to dance, you

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>get to act. And it looked like y'all probably have fun,

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>feeling we have a lot of fun because it's again

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>it's like you're not just talking to the actresses. You're

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>talking to the crafty, you talk to the light guy.

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 1>You find friends everywhere, and we're in a middle baton rouge,

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:39.960
<v Speaker 1>so it ain't nowhere else to go. So we're just

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>having a good time, though it's just more of a family.

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 1>When it was time for me to God just cried.

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, you know, can I get on

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>another movie? Or can I can I get you know

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>what the hell? Cried crier. No, I'm an aries, you know,

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>but that probably Pi and Mess when I'll be crying.

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, house you still very first dream house. They

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>said you bought your first dream house recently. No, I

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>got three houses. Pleased. I made my first dream house.

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>So my first house was like in La and it

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>was a condo, its beautiful stunt up. Then in my

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 1>second house about the Georgia. And then in La I

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>went to this area and I took got this house

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>and I cut it it out. It was ugly. It's ugly,

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 1>so I cut it out. And now it's my dream

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 1>house because I made it my own. And it's like,

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>but it feels a little bit too if it's lazy

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>over there. I feel like I don't necessarily want to

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>live there. I feel like it's a house that I

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>should live in when I'm fifty. You can't just sit down.

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:47.599

<v Speaker 1>shower next door to the studio, and I was so

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 1>scared to lead a studio. Polo can make you scared.

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>So I was so scared to leave the studio that

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I would literally sleep in the studio and at the

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>time of the warehouse, so I sleep with a little heater,

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and then he would come in and like ding wa

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 1>up and I would go in there and like monicat

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>him and be in there and he's like, look, sing

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was singing something. He's I told you you dope,

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And then all of a a sudden you go back the

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 1>hand that's going on here, like I'm puppet in it.

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.879
<v Speaker 1>So Polo gave you your first break? Who definitely? What

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>was the first song? I'm not hit. What was the

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 1>first song? Oh, my first song was through Tricky Stewart.

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.720
<v Speaker 1>That was Maya, this song called rotting yeah Lord, and

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 1>then uh don't remember that, yeah, one of those after

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Maya fell off. Oh yeah, it was like you know,

0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 1>to get back, yeah, and I'm I'm appreciative that no
