Speaker 5: went Deaf comedy jam came out and came, tours came,

118
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 5: and I was on my way. But the mixtape had

119
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 5: I not sat on that corner because I got girls

120
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 5: driving by, laughing at bequests like I'm doing bad, I'm pedaling,

121
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 5: I'm in.

122
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 4: Harlem, you know what I'm saying, girls driving by.

123
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 5: So I had to put fourteen gold chains on my

124
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: neck to look like I'm doing good because I was

125
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 5: doing something, but me not having that pride, you know,

126
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 5: willing to sit there and take that it was the

127
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 5: right decision.

128
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So you went there, and I truly wanted to

129
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: know how competitive is that marketplace? Again from the outside

130
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: looking in? You know, when you when you're on road

131
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: trips and on tour, like you make your stop to

132
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: your your local mom and pop spot and you just

133
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: buy all the mixed taps and you know he's buying

134
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: you and do wopping.

135
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: That's and that's all these cats. But I mean, how.

136
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: Heavy was the territorial competition, especially with other mixtape DJs,

137
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: Like are you listening to blah blah blah mixtapes to

138
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: see if he's biting your mix? Or like the embities

139
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: with that, like, is anyone else taking Stephanie Mills and

140
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: putting Overpeach the president or once in a lifetime grew

141
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: by new addition and you gotta go there. I know

142
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: it's in sort of retrospect, but how how tense, like

143
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: who is who is your main competition?

144
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: Then?

145
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 5: I had no competition when I landed. When I landed,

146
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 5: everybody wanted to be kid Capri. Everybody wanted to do

147
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 5: it to this day. You see all these DJs don't

148
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 5: disrespect as the truth. All these DJs do the kid Capri.

149
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 5: A lot of them party DJs. They do the kid

150
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: Capri the way they talk, the way they play the music,

151
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 5: the way they look. You know, I made the DJ

152
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 5: be an artist. I wanted to be looked at as

153
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 5: an artist and not somebody just playing records. I wanted

154
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 5: to be where I get on that stage next to

155
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 5: that dude that has a platinum marble, like Kelly, I'm

156
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 5: gonna make it hard for him to be on stage

157
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 5: like That's what that was my focus, not just being

158
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: a DJ playing records that people just looking at me

159
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 5: like that. So that's why I took it that way.

160
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 5: And my whole thing was I'm gonna be better than everybody.

161
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give a show that they never seen. I'm

162
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 5: gonna made people feel like they never seen. So it

163
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 5: called on and it made DJs around the country that

164
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 5: never spoke on the mic, never dj they never played

165
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 5: records quick or played those type of records. See me

166
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: when I come in the city and they're seeing this

167
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: panemonium going on, and made them do it. So this

168
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 5: is the way you got to do it. And the

169
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 5: promoters will tell them you got to do it the

170
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: way the pre do it. And those DJs say, yo,

171
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 5: I'm the top DJ. Why do you get kicked pre

172
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: to come to town?

173
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: Shut up?

174
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: Shut up and sit there and watch and look and

175
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: pay attention.

176
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: Where's that come from?

177
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: Because for me, I just started talking maybe in twenty

178
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: twenty and even down twenty twenty three, I think I've

179
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: waned off forty Like all right, the pandemic's over.

180
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: I don't have to talk as much.

181
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: I'll tak my ass off on zoom like you know

182
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like when I'm djaying online. But you

183
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: have this like bull and a China shop energy. Where

184
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: does that come from? Because I feel like one of

185
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: the one of the hardest battles, even without the music,

186
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: is maintaining getting the respect that of a school bully,

187
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: Like you're grabbing people by the collar when you're dressing them,

188
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: not like, hey, guys, how are you doing today? So

189
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm Kickapria. No, I'm gonna play some records and I

190
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy it, like you're not that kind of like,

191
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: So where does that come from? Where do you learn

192
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: that from?

193
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: Like I told you, I'm a fan of it.

194
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 5: So it's a certain amount of keep in mind, we're

195
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 5: looked at as DJ's that just played. DJ's looked at

196
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 5: somebody just play records. What's gonna make me any more

197
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 5: special than anybody else? Right, So I gotta add something

198
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 5: that means, something that's gonna make people say, oh wait

199
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 5: a minute, it's different. Not only that, it's just a

200
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 5: feeling in me. Look, I had to surgery recently. Right

201
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 5: after that the BT Awards, I had surgery. They took

202
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 5: my thigh words out all right, right. I had shows

203
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 5: books that I couldn't canceled. I didn't cancel the show,

204
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: and I told the promoters, y'all, I'm not gonna really

205
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 5: speak on a mac like that while I'm on stage.

206
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 5: You know. But then I get on there and it's

207
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: a different thing. It's a feeling that I get that

208
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 5: I want people to feel. So it comes with me

209
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 5: screaming it.

210
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 3: It's like.

211
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: I can't really explain it. It's like I gotta scream

212
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 5: it out. I gotta, especially when it's at that point

213
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 5: where I know these people are gonna go so crazy?

214
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 5: How can I make me even go that much more

215
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 5: crazy in that instant? And it's my voice?

216
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: Yo?

217
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,920

253
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: math in my head because even when I got the record,

254
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,000

Speaker 5: what is hot, what is good, and it doesn't have

298
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 5: to make sense. It'll makes sense after I make it

Speaker 5: Army be game. Now you had to make BONDB records

316
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 5: with Breakbeast. That's how Mary and all these things came

317
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 5: about because nobody heard it that way before, you know

318
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, and it just changed the whole game.

319
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 4: So that was one of the things. But there's so

320
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 4: many things.

321
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: Let me just let our listeners know that, yes, both

322
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: and Mary credit you when they heard that Stephanie Mills

323
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: something the way you make me feel a cappella, which

324
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: is unusual to be on a twelve inch like you know,

325
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: the idea of an R and B a cappella.

326
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: At that time, right, very unusual.

327
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: So instantly, I you know, we're sparks going on in your head,

328
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: like yo, what the hell?

329
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: Like I can do anything with this or.

330
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 5: The full circle was when me and Stephanie did it live.

331
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 5: I remember you came with the me ucl kid.

332
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 4: I was hip hop.

333
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: Tell that story of how you got something to do

334
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: it with you.

335
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 5: What happened was I've been doing Indiana Black Explode with

336
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 5: Ann Paris, the promoter for twenty something years every year.

337
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 5: An Paris now manages Stephanie Mills. So I was doing

338
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 5: a show for him out there in Indiana. He told

339
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 5: Stephanie Mills the story about what I did with the record,

340
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 5: and he had her coming to Indiana without me knowing.

341
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: So I was on stage, she was right there and he' said, yo,

342
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 5: little Steph, I bought Stephi out here for you. I

343
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 5: was like talking about she came out.

344
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: I never met her.

345
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: She didn't know nothing about what was going on until

346
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 5: we told her she had this big shit reck. She

347
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 5: knew what her record was to her, but in the

348
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 5: street she had no idea what was going on. So

349
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 5: when we did it then, it wasn't rehearsed. Like I said,

350
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 5: I never met her. It was my first time meeting

351
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 5: up and we did that shit on the spot. And

352
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 5: if you remember, she was going to keep going and

353
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 5: I stopped. I said, that's it, that's all I need.

354
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: I'm good.

355
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 5: I felt like be stopping up and it being short

356
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 5: would make more of an impact than me having to

357
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 5: do the whole thing. That's just the way I thought

358
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 5: at the time. But just her being there with me

359
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 5: and seeing a visuated. When I touched your heart, I

360
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 5: know I did something when you when you rolled up

361
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 5: on me a jazzy Jeff's cuip. He was like, okay,

362
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 5: that right there. When you said that, I was like, yeah,

363
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 5: I did something.

364
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 4: Questions reserve. You don't say too much, you know, So

365
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 4: if you say something like.

366
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm excited about stuff, I'm excited about stuff, what would

367
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: you consider you're.

368
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 3: What's a hard market?

369
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: Have you ever met a marketplace in which they're like.

370
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: Like down South for instance?

371
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 4: Really every crowd I get into, I whip it down.

372
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 5: That's what I do, no matter where it's at, no

373
00:17:54,680 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 5: matter what what the situation is. Because my whole attitude

374
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 5: was know what's going on in that city that city.

375
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 5: Don't care about what's going on in New York. They

376
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 5: care about what's going on in that city. So find

377
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 5: a DJ that's there, find out what's going on. And

378
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 5: when he when he tells you what's going on, you

379
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 5: know what's going on. Bringing that DJ out, show the

380
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 5: respect to that DJ and put him on stage and

381
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 5: let everybody know, this is just this city's DJ. You

382
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. You were a guess in their house.

383
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 5: And with that, all the information from different places were

384
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 5: coming to me. I would stay on top of what's

385
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 5: going on over here, what's going on with this side

386
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 5: of the country.

387
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: I was.

388
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 4: It was just the way I did things.

389
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 5: And with me doing that, with me going to experience

390
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 5: it and do it, it made me learn how to

391
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 5: stay do it everywhere else.

392
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: So I never had a.

393
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 5: Got booed, never a crowd walked out on me, never

394
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 5: been a thing where people wasn't happy or somebody says

395
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,239
Speaker 5: some crazy shit in the crowd or through something that.

396
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 5: Never been under that. It always been people happy. And

397
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 5: I'm blessed. I'm very happy for that, very blessed in

398
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 5: that way for that to happen, because, like I said,

399
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 5: I'm a fan of it, and I know how I

400
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 5: want to feel. If I paid my money, I gotta

401
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 5: drive to get there. If I have a car, I

402
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 5: gotta buy clothes to wear to be there. I gotta

403
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 5: pay to get in. I gotta buy drinks. If somebody's

404
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 5: gonna buy them a drinking I'm mor.

405
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 6: I might have had to hire a babysit or something too,

406
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 6: Like you.

407
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 5: Know, all these things I got to do because kicking

408
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: freeze in the building. How do I not get the

409
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 5: best I can get it? You know what I'm saying?

410
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 5: Like I think like that. And then there's a reverse

411
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 5: two way. People don't think about what you had to

412
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 5: do to get to the event, if you had traffic,

413
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 5: lost your bags, you know, did you eat? Are you sick?

414
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 5: Do you feel? All they do is the end RESULTE

415
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 5: I wanted, I want my show. I went what I

416
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 5: paid for. I paid for that. They don't know nothing,

417
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 5: So it works both ways.

418
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: There is a moment in two thousand.

419
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: There was a moment in two thousand and five in which,

420
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: for the very first time, I played the horn intro

421
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: to Troy and I didn't get that scream yeah, like

422
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: you know what happens when you play that intro when

423
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: you used to play the intro, Like the choice is

424
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: yours and you know for the longest, Like one of

425
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: my signature things would be like play Troy right after

426
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: like scenario, who's that ramp in a place like start

427
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: high fiving and crying and hugging, And there was a

428
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: moment where that didn't happen and I was like, oh shit,

429
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: I gotta adjust it and adjust fact like I never

430
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: had a Quiet Troy moment in my life. How long

431
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: did it take you to really truly adjust to be

432
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: in an open format DJ and like embrace things because

433
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, as open minded as I would like our

434
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: listeners to think I am. You know, and I've explained

435
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: this before on the show that as an individual course,

436
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: we know that we have our opinions of what good

437
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: music is and what bad music is. But then as

438
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: a DJ, I have opinion on what is effective for

439
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: my DJ set and not effective for my DJ set,

440
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: And oftentimes with those four things good, bad, effective, non effective,

441
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: Like what's effective for my DJ sets now is stuff

442
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: that I personally wouldn't listen to, but I know works

443
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: for my set. Right, So you know, there's like maybe

444
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: a year or two where I just wrestled with damn,

445
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: do I just or do I just like fight and

446
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: only play to my audience? Like?

447
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: How long did it take you.

448
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: To just start adjusting? To a new atmosphere and new generations.

449
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 5: There's plenty of records I hate that I play that

450
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 5: only but it's not about me, you're saying, it's about

451
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 5: that boom and you know, so that right there automatically

452
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: makes you know that you have to step out of

453
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 5: your own personal feeling and adjust to what they want,

454
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 5: because that's the end result. A lot of DJ sometimes

455
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 5: they missed the mark because they feel like they don't

456
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 5: like this record, so it shouldn't be played at the

457
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 5: end of the day, you know, Like I said that

458
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 5: stuff that I might play that I don't. I don't

459
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 5: really care for much to but I see, but I'll

460
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 5: see a crowd go crazy to it, and it'll make

461
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 5: me like it. I might not even like the song

462
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 5: at first, but once I see a crowd lose it,

463
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 5: lose it to it, it'll make me say, all right, well,

464
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 5: I could adjust to it all you know, it will

465
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 5: make me lacking in some kind of way.

466
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: But let me ask you, and I'll let's use an

467
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: example from twenty five years ago, so you don't have

468
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: to be like now, like man fuck Ice, Spice or whatever.

469
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, is there an album that is there

470
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: a song that you acknowledge as a classic now that

471
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: maybe twenty five years ago you were like, I'm not

472
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: feeling this like it took you long to like adjust

473
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: to it.

474
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 3: Biggie Biggie Biggie. You don't like half the times loved it.

475
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: I hated the hook.

476
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: You known mean it was a smart hook.

477
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 5: I hated the hook at first. At first, I couldn't

478
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 5: stand the hook. Biggie Biggie Biggie. I just couldn't stay.

479
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 5: I just didn't like it. But the record was dope.

480
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 5: The loop, you know.

481
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. The record was dope.

482
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 5: So and then after I guess you hear it a

483
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 5: certain way, I didn't you start like Then after a

484
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 5: while I was like, ah yeah. But at first it

485
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 5: was like, damn all, should have did a different hook.

486
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 5: But I was wrong.

487
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 3: It was effective. It was effective. You know.

488
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 5: It was sometimes a lot of times I guess what's

489
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 5: going to be a hit.

490
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 4: But you know, I'm not a robot.

491
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 5: Sometime I missed you know what I'm saying, or you know,

492
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 5: I like listen, but sometimes I missed it. You see

493
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 5: what it is, you know, But me and you would

494
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 5: have never made a laughy Taffy beat. We would have

495
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 5: never wrote that, not that it's bad for them, we

496
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 5: would have never did that.

497
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 4: We would have probably passed it on it.

498
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 3: But look front of it on Laughy Taffy for its

499
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: initial run.

500
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 6: Right, and it's a classic.

501
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 3: Now.

502
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: When I I was gonna say I played Laughing Taffy

503
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: the first time I did the goal party for the Carters,

504
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, let me reach into my

505
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: second generation Southern bag that I would have otherwise ignored

506
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: on my own gigs, right, and just the way that

507
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: they were going to ape shit about it, I was like, yo,

508
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: I was wrong.

509
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 5: Like if I played Laughy Taffy the snock records, they lose,

510
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 5: they got theirn mind. It don't matter what age it is,

511
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, because it was just that

512
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 5: time and moment.

513
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

514
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 5: And most dance records like that, boarded down records for

515
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 5: some reason, it just works.

516
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: Or you went there briefly.

517
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: But of course your tenure with I mean, would you

518
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: consider yourself a Juice Cup member or no?

519
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: Okay, I just saw cold Chilling Bear's got me.

Speaker 5: looking for our deal. I wasn't even thinking about our deal.

525

540
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 5: it off, and it worked and he got me by deal.

541
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 4: Like I said, even worked the deal. You gotta be

542
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 4: the deal because I was hot.

543
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 5: He could have gave that deal to anybody else that

544
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 5: was a real rapper, you know what I'm saying.

545
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 3: I was robbing on the record of the tape.

546
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 5: So I was trying to be a rapper, like even

547
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 5: with bib about right now, I'm not trying to be

Speaker 5: a rap on stage.

549
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 3: I just want music in the world.

550
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 5: But at the time, you know, he could have gave

551
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 5: that to somebody that really really was good, you know

552
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. But he he you know, he really

553
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 5: gave it to be And I've always gonna be a

Speaker 5: I never really played behind a lot of people KRS

570
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 5: one of course, but not really a whole lot of

571
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 5: people because people always looked at me as a one

572
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 5: man band. I guess, I guess that's what it is.

573
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 5: I guess the perception is that he didn't he don't

574
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 5: want to play for nobody behind you know, behind nobody.

Speaker 5: behind him. I went on tour with them as a

578
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 5: matter of fact. But Jennifer Lopez, she wanted to be

579
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 5: behind it. Like there's a lot of people that reached out.

580
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 5: It just didn't work out because of the time. I felt

581
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 5: like if me and Kendrick Lamar would have went on

582
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,560

Speaker 5: know what you did for the music business. I know

595
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 5: what you did for DJs.

596
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 3: I know what you did.

597
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 5: I wanted that authenticity on this album. I was like, Wow,

00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 5: he really knew who he was, so i't have to

599
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 5: really explain that he would have got it. And he

600
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 5: put me on that album.

601
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 3: And how crazy was the effect afterwards?

602
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,520

Speaker 5: And keep in mind he brought me to There might

605
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 5: be kids that don't know about kicking Pree never had

606
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 5: any kicking pre spad. I don't know nothing about me.

607
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 5: He brought me to those people, you know what I'm saying.

608
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 5: Like I said, he put my voices in countries I

609
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 5: never been to. It's a Poliza album like it never

610
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 5: no ever, no other hip hop album ever in history.

611
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 5: This is a milestone. So she could have did so

612
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 5: much more, like going on toward with each other. And

613
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 5: he didn't need me, of course, because you know he

614
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 5: is what he did, been me and him together just

615
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 5: doing certain things, it would have been it'd have been special.

616
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 4: So but like I said, he's already special, so it

617
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: was all good.

618
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 5: Cake.

619
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: You talking about your transition into the production game.

620
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 5: I was always making beats. My first album that Biz

621
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 5: got me. It says biz production. Biz produced it. But

622
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,120

623
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 5: the soundtrack the Streets album with Jay and did that

624
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,200

625
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 5: the Love Album, The Love Album in the pandemic. I'm

626
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 5: seeing a lot of ship to stuff that I was

627
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 5: a lot of agree with it. I said, you know what,

628
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 5: let me just do something different and I won't slack

629
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 5: key and came out good. I recorded it, goveled my

630
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 5: hair on my shoulders and said keep going. So I

631
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 5: just said him doing the album, I put slack key

632
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 5: out of it. How did I get the response? I

633
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 5: want to dabble with a never see the out light

634
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 5: a day. But it was good response and I put

635
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 5: down the mouth. Great response and have a guy work

636
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 5: complained about it. A lot of different artists snoopid. Different

637
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 5: people will call congratulated. Nobody seen this coming because of

638
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 5: robbing on it. My last album is twenty four years ago.

639
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 5: You know, music business is different. I had everything against

640
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 5: me with this album, but I didn't I didn't care

641
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 5: about that. I just wanted to put it out, and

642
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 5: you know it worked out. But yeah, it's gotta keep

643
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: going with it.

644
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 6: I wanted to ask you particularly about Nothing Belove Heavy,

645
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 6: du do you remember what do you remember about that

646
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 6: session working with him?

647
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 5: Nothing Beloved was a different beat, and when we were

648
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 5: in the studio, I just said it didn't match what

649
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 5: I was trying to do with him, So I changed it,

650
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 5: and I went in my bag and pulled out the

651
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 5: Eight Games and put the eight Games on the band,

652
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 5: put the drums, and then he caught writer his block

653
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 5: and he couldn't write. He couldn't write. So did so

654
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 5: I wrote the half. I wrote half of the second verse,

655
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 5: and I wrote I wrote half of the second version.

656
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 5: I wrote the last verse, and then we end up

657
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 5: doing the record, and then the c CNY tragedy happened.

658
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 4: But the nine people died. One of my friends, Jule,

659
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 4: he was one of the people that passed away.

660
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: You were there at TCN one.

661
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 5: No, my daughter's mother, she was there. She was putting

662
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,200

663
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 5: girl who was pregnant at the time.

664
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 4: And she passed away. She pulled her out. Oh no, wow, yeah,

Speaker 5: He was the only dude there was only there's only

667
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 5: two castles in New York, one of Yonder's, one on

668
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 5: my block and my block kings with Terraces, where they

669
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 5: made the movie The Wanderer was at.

670
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 3: So you look.

671
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 5: If you wish to watch the movie The Waders, you'll

672
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 5: see my block. The wrong king was Terrice. This capsule

673
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 5: he lived in. He was twenty five years old. Ever

674
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 5: had sex. It was waiting until you had the a

675
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 5: wife before he had sex. And he was killed in

676
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 5: this CCN wide thing. And I remember Heavy d had

677
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 5: to show with the Garden and he was because he

678
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 5: had something to do with the event. He just wasn't there,

679
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 5: but he was one of the promoters and he had

680
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 5: explained it and he was like, yo, I'm not going

681
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 5: to take responsibility, but I feel bad of what happened.

682
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: Tell everybody back.

683
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 5: I beloved for the crowd, and he dropped up beloved

684
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 5: and the crowd lost their goddamn.

685
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: I was standing right that or the stage. The crowd

686
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 4: lost it.

687
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: That's what I do.

688
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 5: I gave it his last hit is a big hit.

689
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 5: That was his biggest That was his last hit record

690
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 5: before he passed away.

691
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: Damn, I know you did that. Damn, that's crazy. Yep.

692
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: The first time I saw you spend, you would come

693
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: to the event with like at least eight crates, fifteen

694
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: The level yep that I've never seen, the dizzying level

695
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: of how you would organize records or whatever.

696
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 3: That's why with.

697
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: Jeff Jazzy, Jeff would try to convince me to be

698
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 4: on Serato and.

699
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: That was hard to make that transition. That's what I'm saying.

700
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 5: I like the fact that I had fifteen crates and

701
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 5: I would wanted to crate catch the record at the

702
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 5: last second it dropped the needle way and it just

703
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 5: looked crazy to the crowd. So I thought if I

704
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 5: got rid of that and went to the computer, it

705
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 5: wouldn't be that same excitement. And Jeff will always say, Okay, got.

706
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 3: It, go on the computer. You got to do. You

707
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Savado shit, So you relate to

708
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: the Serado game.

709
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Okay, I ain't started Surroado game this whole

710
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 5: six So Death Comedy Jam came back and Mike EPs

711
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 5: was host and they asked me if I will produce

712
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 5: the beats on Deaf Comedy Jam because they didn't want

713
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 5: to clear the death Jam records, right, So I produced

714
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 5: all the beats that how do I play? Put it

715
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 5: in Soroader. I put the beats of Sovado and I

716
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 5: did the show. Then I started putting the break piece

717
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 5: of Soroader. Now I put the reggae records. Now I

718
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 5: put the old for reggae. Next thing, you know, every

719
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 5: day was a Soroado. Got read the records and now

720
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 5: I was good. And then I see the crowds and

721
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 5: in my show still reacting the same way when I

722
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 5: had the records, So I was good.

723
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: How irksome is it for you to watch any of

724
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: the retro Deaf Comedy Jam shows? And like, for me,

725
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: the best part of the show is when you start

726
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: doing the ll breakdown thing. And you know, of course

727
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: when it came on DVD and now that it's streaming

728
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: and even on YouTube, you know, they put like interstitial

729
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: music over it, like so you're trying to imagine what

730
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: they're dancing to you.

731
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 3: I can't stand it. I hate it.

732
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 5: I hate it's it's it's the claims is it's the money.

733
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 5: It's you know, it's a lot of money. You would

734
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 5: think that they death jam records. It would be all

735
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 5: right for deaf comedy jam to playing.

736
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 3: But I thought that way.

737
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 4: They don't go that way.

738
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 5: It's whoever was a publisher. You know, you got to

739
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 5: go through all that ship. And some people are just beaty.

740
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 5: Some people want what they want and they don't see

741
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 5: the bigger picture, so they eliminated I was making the

742
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 5: beats and you got gut around it.

743
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

744
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: I was going to say, there's there's one comedian that I,

745
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: if I recall correctly, like he made you part of

746
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 1: the act.

747
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 3: This brother named Talent. It's just come. That's kind of crazy.

748
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: But Talent would do this thing where he would have

749
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: a scenario and needed a soundtrack to it, and he

750
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: would have you play the record and then he would

751
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: do the scenario. All right, we wand we want to

752
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: kick it all right now, this scenario is blah blah blah,

753
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: and I can never find and it's one of the

754
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: funniest things ever. And I wish I could find that original.

755
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: But because of music clearance issues, you know, people don't.

756
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 5: Get so much footage from us on the road me

00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 5: for me.

785
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 4: How many, how much good times.

786
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 5: It was never a threat where you had to worry

787
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 5: about crime going on, to somebody getting hurt or shot

788
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 5: of a fight breaking out.

789
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 4: It was always fun, laughing and it was dope.

790
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 3: Was dope.

791
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 6: I was going to ask you about just the Master

792
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 6: of the Mix. Man. It was a while back, but

793
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 6: I really enjoyed that show, and uh, I want to

794
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 6: just ask you about just kind of what that experience

795
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 6: was like, getting acting, I guess as a as a

796
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 6: judge and judging other DJs. Man, how was that experience?

797
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 3: It was dope.

798
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 4: I was always like the cyb of Cow. I was

799
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 4: very serious.

800
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 3: I was really.

801
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 5: Straight because I had to worry about the reason why

802
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 5: I was so serious was because they had to worry

803
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 5: about our credentials. I had to worry about, you know,

804
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 5: because they had to worry about I wanted to be truthful,

805
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 5: you know, sound show, no favoritism. I didn't want to

806
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 5: show like I didn't know what I was talking about

807
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 5: or you know, any of that. I wanted to be

808
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 5: what it was and it worked out. We was on

809
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 5: for two seasons on BT and then we was on

810
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 5: one season of VH one. My me, personally, I think

811
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 5: they should have kept that show going. You know, I

812
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 5: know what issues they had, but they should have kept

813
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 5: that show going because what it did you have? It

814
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 5: was like Mel Startings you see right now? Have Mel

815
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 5: starting not been on that show, We don't know if

816
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 5: we've seen him as quick as we did. But because

817
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 5: he was on that show and he's super talented, so

818
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 5: that show got a chance to to, you know, show

819
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 5: the world who these dudes are. The same way in

820
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 5: Death Comedy Jam. Remember before Death Comedy Jam was Richard Pryor,

821
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 5: Red Fox Andeddie Murphy. You know, a couple of other

822
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 5: dudes sprinkle here for comedy. You if you didn't, it

823
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 5: wasn't them dudes, you you know. So when we got

824
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 5: Deaf Comedy Jam, we displayed all this plethors of all

825
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 5: these different people. Now it became bigger. And that's the

826
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 5: same thing with Master the Mix. It was all these

827
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 5: different DJs. Chris Carr and you know Jco. All these

828
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 5: dudes do are readers. Now, you know what I'm saying

829
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 5: because of that show. Being on that show, so it

830
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 5: was definitely a dope show. They definitely should have capten

831
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,959
Speaker 5: some things I would have changed around. I'd have changed

832
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 5: some things around. I ain't think that I didn't really

833
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 5: agree with.

834
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, it is what it is.

835
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 4: And then I was on another show.

836
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: Did you know?

837
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 4: I was on a Growing Up pip Hop?

838
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 6: I missed that one now about doing it?

839
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 4: And I did that because yeah, I only did one season,

840
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 4: only did one season.

841
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,000

843
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,240

844
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: without any jokes of me taking your last name.

845
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 3: Love is actually your last name, correct.

846

Speaker 3: Of Course Love.

00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, talk about what it's like like collaborating with

850
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: your daughter and now that she has has, you know,

851
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: planted her seeds and and is starting her story right now,

852
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: Like what what is that?

853
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 3: What is that like for you to see her? Karen

854
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 3: on the legacy.

855
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 5: At first, you know, I know the music business. I

856
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 5: know what's in the music business. I know everything. And

857
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 5: normally you don't want your kid in that. You know

858
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. You don't want them to go through

859
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 5: certain d But the way she grew up, how was

860
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 5: she showed me how she handled herself, how she do things.

861
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 4: She has a skin for it. Now did she have

862
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 4: the talent for it? Didn't know.

863
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 5: And I wasn't gonna push her off on people just

864
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 5: because she's my daughter. She had to prove to me

865
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 5: that she really could do a thing. And she came

866
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 5: to me with this record where she did mind his

867
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 5: best to be over with her little boyfriend at the time,

868
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 5: and the record was dope. But that she did a

869
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 5: record that she wrote for Rihanna called Air that never

870
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 5: got to Riana, and she end up recording to herself.

871
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 5: And that's when the one I was like, Okay, she's ready,

872
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 5: and from there on she'd been moving there. But how

873
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 5: she carry herself, how she treats people, the smiles she

874
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 5: keep on her face, how she talk, the way she

875
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 5: look at stuff.

876
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 4: She's just like me. She is she she respects what

877
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 4: it is. And then she see how her father moved

878
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 4: that's another day.

879
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 5: She see how father moved how different people treat me,

880
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 5: you know, and it makes it automatically molds your child

881
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 5: when they see it when they around the experience said,

882
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 5: they always home with it, now around to see things

883
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 5: that they don't go with it. They go with but

884
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 5: when they get a chance to really see everything, it

885
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 5: kind of mows them. And that's what happens. She really

886
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 5: know what she's doing, and she's talented. She really works hard.

887
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 5: It's more of the talent. She really really works hard,

888
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 5: you know. And I just wanted her to really just

889
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 5: be happy and and all she's happy.

890
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 3: That's it, you know.

891
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 5: This music business, like I said, you let it get

892
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 5: to you, it will, you know. And sometimes things don't

893
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 5: work out the way you want when you wanted to

894
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 5: work out, you know. And that's a part of growing,

895
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 5: that's a part of that's the part of appreciating the journey,

896
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 5: you know.

897
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,080

Speaker 5: my ship to sell it or none of that. I

941
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 5: did everything myself. There's so many layers to it. And

942
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 5: I didn't put it out for it to go platinum gold.

943
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 5: I'll put it out to put something in the world,

944
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 5: but I would like to see it really do good.

945
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 5: I would like to see the world hit this album

946
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 5: and really, I'm saying, and just absorb it because I

947
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 5: haven't got a bad complain one time since I put

948
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 5: it out. You know, the Internet, they're gonna say whatever

949
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 5: they want. I haven't got one of those yet, not one,

950
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So with that being said,

951
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 5: the frustraight part for me is that I know everybody

952
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 5: hasn't heard it. I know everybody don't know what's dead.

953
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 5: There's people that come to me right now. I remember

954
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 5: when you had your two albums out, you didn't hear

955
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 5: the third one, like you know.

956
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 3: That's how I know. It's like, you know, that's the

957
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 3: frustrate part. But only I follow you on I G

958
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 3: and during the pandemic.

959
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, you didn't even know it was in the room,

960
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: watching in the studio making your beats and as you

961
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: were making the record and whatnot. So you know, it's

962
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: finally good to see the fruition of it. Your mom

963
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: actually has a hugemongous afro yo like, yes up.

964
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 4: She was definitely definitely big on her.

965
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 3: And her last name is Love. I might be a

966
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 3: long lost cousin. I don't know, it might be exactly brother,

967
00:44:58,800 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 3: Thank you man.
