<v Speaker 1>story about that too, I been.

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you understand, like you know, we're family now,

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think you understand the lengths that I

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>would go.

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:16.640

<v Speaker 1>days early. So you want to be there on Sunday

<v Speaker 1>for the event there's Wednesday.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:32.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I do, Yes, I do. It's I mean, and

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 2>you've been doing that? I mean, what do you say?

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Fifteen years?

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 4>Wow?

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Thinks successful years.

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 2>I like that because that's different, right, because I mean,

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 2>of course there are hides and lows to everything, right,

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>and I think there are there are levels to the

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>highs and lows. Sometimes when those lows get really low,

0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>you can.

0:02:58.560 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 1>You can't get into livet.

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's what you know, the lows the lows

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>is really low. You know what I'm saying, it's like

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>you used to get in for the loves. I am

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna need that two hundred from you, baby. You know

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying. It's but it's never been like maybe

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 2>what you consider a low is different than what we

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 2>consider a low, since you know you're you're you're dealing

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 2>with the full scope of the thing. But every time

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I go to live and look at it and I'm

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>standing in this room, the energy is everything that it's

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.519
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely no, it got its It definitely has its lows,

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 5>like because for fifteen years, it's nothing is consistent for

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 5>fifteen years. But you're right, the low may be different

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 5>for y'all it's and for me it's a little different.

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 5>It could be the amount of money we making. It

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 5>could be just the joy that people have when they

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 5>come to that party, especially if they not consistently coming,

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 5>because they can come maybe twice a year because we

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 5>get so many tours live man, so it's not like

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 5>a consistent crowd.

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 4>And so you know, you may get someone that come

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 4>there maybe.

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 5>Twice a year, and it's popping those two times they

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 5>come to in their mind is always always popping. It's

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 5>the greatest part of every but you know, to be honest,

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 5>we have our moments where it's not ass popping.

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 4>It's just that the people don't see it.

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 5>The wrong artist was booked or or there wasn't an

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 5>artists and it's just you know, because now they have

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.679
<v Speaker 5>the people have come. They so used to seeing someone

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 5>there now and it's one of those situations.

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 4>Like who's there, who's there? And that's not really what

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 4>I like.

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 5>As the promoter. I wanted to be about the party.

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 5>It's not about who's going to be there. And once

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 5>the point of time it was like that where they

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 5>was coming to live on Sunday because of living on

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 5>Sunday because they didn't know who was going to be

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 5>there and who's going to get up on that stage.

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:56.919
<v Speaker 4>I think that's where it real you.

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Int we got taken, So like I want to, I

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 2>definitely want to continue to expand on it because I

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 2>think what you've done with this is legend legendary, completely legendary.

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Is there a backstory to even how you get into

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>this space, like going back to the beginning, to your

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>hometown and being like I want to be the curator

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>of of legendary musical moments. The basketball mind.

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, I was gonna say, t.

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a thing in the industry, hey man, And I've

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>never even hooved with it, but I know that, Yeah,

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, I gave them.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna say, no, this wasn't something I wanted

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 4>to do. This just happened.

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't that I wanted to be a promoter, I

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 5>wanted to curate this or that it just ended up happening.

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 4>And always said this over the years.

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I've been blessed to bless others because

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 5>this wasn't something that I wanted to do.

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to be a ball player. I wanted to

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to be MIKEE. But it just didn't bad.

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 4>It just didn't go that way.

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>So where were you playing?

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 4>I actually came to Miami from Chicago.

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 5>I came down here and I was playing the University

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.400

<v Speaker 5>was down here playing and I don't want to say

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 5>too much about it because I got this documentary coming out.

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.040

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 5>here and I got stuck in Miami. Even though once

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 5>I was down here, I had got suspended off the team.

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 5>I went back to Chicago, and I was in Chicago

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 5>just still trying to work out and still pursue these

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 5>hoop dreams. But it wasn't happening. So I ended up

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 5>getting my degree from the Paul, came back down to Miami.

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:43.160

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 5>degree in at the Paul. So congratulations, than you show

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 5>you know me there? So y'all want me here?

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Cool? Good luck?

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So it's all good.

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 5>So I ended up after I got my degree, I

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 5>was in Chicago doing absolutely nothing and my cousin he

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 5>had a barber shop called Hell and his barber Shops.

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 5>So I end up coming down here because he said, look, man,

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 5>we grade open up one hundred and fifty barber shops

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 5>in every corner like Paul Mitch, and I was like, okay, cool.

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 5>So I came down here and we couldn't get one open,

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 5>and I was like, damn, I'm just down here doing

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 5>absolutely nothing. So steady going over to um pursuing my

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 5>whole dream, working out me, Tim hardaway everybody. I'm still

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 5>got my pool dreams. But I ain't had no place

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 5>to live. I ain't had no place to stay. So

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 5>I ended up living in the back of his barbershop.

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.199
<v Speaker 5>And I ain't really want to tell my mom and

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 5>none of them because I was like the the guy

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 5>that was gonna get us out of this world in

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.839
<v Speaker 5>the family. So I didn't want to call her and

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 5>disappoint her, like, you know, your son is living in

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.559
<v Speaker 5>Miami in the back of a barber shop. So I

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.079
<v Speaker 5>ain't really want to do that, so I kept that

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 5>to myself. And he came up with this idea like,

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 5>hey man, you know all these athletes, you know all

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 5>the people when you go out, they know who you are,

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 5>why don't we do a party?

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, that's cool, let's let's do a party.

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 4>And he was like, why don't we do a player's ball?

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 4>You know how? You know you in Chicago? Man, they

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 4>got all the pimps and players and all that. And

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 4>I was like, all right, cool.

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 5>But I thought originally I thought he was talking about

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.839
<v Speaker 5>with the athletes, but he was talking about with the

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:28.839
<v Speaker 5>real So I reached out to Bishop Don, Magic Wand

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.719
<v Speaker 5>and then he kind of gave me the connect for

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 5>Iced Tea, and my very very first party was a

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 5>player's ball with Bishop Don, Magic Wand and Iced Tea.

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>That was my first party.

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Pretty much, what you're saying is that Dave's your pails,

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 3>stole your idea.

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 4>Tea.

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like the same party.

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 4>Man. Hey, I guess so I ain't gonna say, well,

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 4>I won't say sold it.

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>But she happened.

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 4>So the party though, the party was a disaster. It's

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.719
<v Speaker 4>a disaster, listen, man.

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 5>This ballroom held about fifteen hundred people, and maybe fifteen

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 5>people showed up. And that was like me, the cashier,

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't absolutely, it wasn't a soul that showed up.

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 5>I was so disappointed. I was like, maybe this ship

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 5>ain't for me. But nobody showed up because in my

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.439
<v Speaker 5>documentary I showed it. This is because I didn't have

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.320
<v Speaker 5>any tutor to show me how to promote or nothing

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 5>like that.

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 4>I had a flyer. It didn't even have the location

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 4>of the party.

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 6>No, So I think that's I know, man, nobody didn't

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.479
<v Speaker 6>invite nobody, nobody, and nobody noticed.

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>That location disclosed soon man.

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 4>So it was terrible.

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Man, it's crazy.

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 4>It was terrible.

0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 5>I got a picture of the fly and I think

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.199
<v Speaker 5>that's I need to frain it because that was my

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 5>my very first party. You gotta they didn't have no location,

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 5>no party here, Nobody noticed it. I'm passed off these flyers.

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 5>Nobody stopped me and said, Mike, where did the party at?

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 5>Nobody said ship.

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 4>They just didn't come super humble.

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 1>So when did it become When did it become a thing?

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Did you open some more barbershops first? And then nah?

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 5>So after that, after that failed, I used my relationships

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 5>like with Tim Hardaway Lines the Morning, and then some

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.199
<v Speaker 5>of the guys that that played at UM that was

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 5>playing at with the Dolphins, like You're till Green Jason

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 5>Taylor's at Thomas. They let me do a player's ball,

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.319
<v Speaker 5>another player's ball, but this is with the athletes, and

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 5>they didn't charge me. So because of the hype of

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 5>having the NBA players and the NFL players. My second

0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 5>party was a Miami Heat Miami Dolphins, and I ain't

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 5>really had no expenses because they let.

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Me use, let me rock and it was a success.

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.199
<v Speaker 5>So I tasted that success and then that gave me

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 5>some more confidence, like, shit, I can do this because

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 5>that player's ball I was. I thought I was gonna

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 5>be one and done, so they let me do it,

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.559
<v Speaker 5>got some success, made made some money, and then I

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 5>was like, maybe I can do this.

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 4>And then ironically, Peter Thomas, he.

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 5>Had a club called Bark Cole, and he's like, Mike,

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 5>why don't you come on and start doing this weekly party.

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 5>He was the first person to let me do a

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 5>weekly party and it started from that back in two

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 5>thousand and one.

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Now he thought, okay, here's a question, because there's always

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 2>the Peter Thomas question or what he what he kind

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 2>of stands on, and I think you can validate this

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 2>is he the first black promoter to bring black parties

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 2>to South Beach.

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 5>Him and Luke him, and let me let me just

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 5>say what it is him lose. Everything starts with un

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 5>and we're not going to discredit them. But Peter, Peter

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 5>had a spot on Fifth Street that he opened up,

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.079
<v Speaker 5>and it was called Fifth Street and it used to

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 5>be where cross the street where Play was, remember play,

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.200
<v Speaker 5>So Peter had a spot across the across the street

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.679
<v Speaker 5>from Play. Luke maybe five six months after Peter had

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 5>opened this spot, opened up Luke's on the Beach, and

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 5>they said in my documentary, So it's what I'm speaking

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 5>I believe is facts because I won the round back then.

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 5>But Peter opened his first, then Luke opened his, and

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 5>what drew more people to come into Miami's because they

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 5>knew who Luke was as well. So Peter had it

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 5>for the Caribbean market, so he was catered towards the Jamaicans,

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 5>the the Trinidadians and all that, and then Luke was

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.679
<v Speaker 5>catering towards hip hop and American and then that's all

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 5>they did, and it was crazy house. Peter and Luke said,

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 5>like we as black people, we had come over to

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:10.320
<v Speaker 5>the beach, but stopped right there at Fifth Street. Never

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 5>came into Washington Avenue Collins Avenue. We only went there

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 5>and then we went back because you know, we wasn't

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 5>we want a customer coming out to the beach because

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 5>if you know, for so long, they wasn't even allowing

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 5>us to come out on the beach.

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that.

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they they wasn't allowing black people to really to

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 5>come out on the beach unless you was a worker

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 5>or if you had an ID card.

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Saying that you was working out here. Like it's a

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 4>it's a deep story of leak Miami Beach.

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 5>Man, it's crazy. Gotta might want to do some history that.

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 5>It's kind of like, let me see your hotel room,

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 5>let me see your hotel.

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Make Miami Beach great again, make Miamy these drives listen,

0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 2>they don't.

0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 1>They don't at this point, they don't care.

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I guess the just you know, in this life saving

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the adventure, when you got that Miami Dolphins Miami heat

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 2>uh player's ball with no overhead.

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Correct that had that had to be very substantial.

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 4>It was, and that's what gave me the confidence and

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 4>like I can do.

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>This, and the funding to move on to your next thing.

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Would making up for the first party.

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 5>Making up for the first part because it was a

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 5>it was a it was a ball player that played

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 5>with you, and he had just got drafted, so he

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 5>had he had some fresh money. He had a couple

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 5>of million dollars had I ain't gonna say who he is,

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 5>but he signed a multi million dollar deal in the NFL,

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 5>and he gave me the money to form my first party,

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 5>and I lost all this money. So of course my

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 5>thing is I got to get this guy's money back,

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 5>so that the Miami Heat and Dolphins party gave me

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 5>a little bit of money to give him some money,

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 5>but then hold some money to do another part.

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 4>And I just kept doing them and stayed with it.

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 4>And then Peter, like I said, gave me.

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 5>A chance to do a weekly party because he was like,

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 5>you're putting in all this this work for one party.

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 4>Just keep it going. And it started to beat that.

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>So was it under the Headliner Monica?

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 4>Then now it was under.

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 5>It was it was still called Headliner, but I called it, uh,

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 5>it was under Professional Businessmen Association because I was having

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 5>problems getting in the clubs, you know, as far as

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 5>like you know, because back then a lot of people

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 5>was using entertainment or this group, that group. So I

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 5>went in thinking that I was going trick. I'm like, oh,

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 5>this company is called Professional Businessmen Association.

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 4>They want to do a party. But it wasn't working.

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 4>Man that it wasn't working. None of that was work.

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 4>And then and then when when you walk in and

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 4>see okay it's headlined.

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 5>Then and because of my cousin's barbershop, I just uh,

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 5>I just I just ran with that. But I put

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.440
<v Speaker 5>the spin on it by saying Headlina Market Group got

0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 5>it just went from there.

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I don't want to steal too much out of

0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the documentary, but I gotta know how how you stumbled

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 2>into We gotta know how you stumble in to Live

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday.

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.200
<v Speaker 1>We gotta we gotta know how you get in there.

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, I'm gonna tell you so.

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.880
<v Speaker 5>And then they when they can it can be validated

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 5>with the doc so they can see it in the

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.879
<v Speaker 5>dock and they because I got a lot of content

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 5>and a lot of footage on how this happened and

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.719
<v Speaker 5>how it played out, So how I how I end

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 5>up getting in too live. Me and Louis Oliver was

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 5>doing Soul Kitchen Sundays.

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know.

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.920
<v Speaker 5>So we had a nice little four year run over there,

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.280
<v Speaker 5>and Live was about to open up, uh in the

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.639
<v Speaker 5>found Blue, So mow Garcia.

0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 4>Mo was a was a staple and Live for He.

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 5>Then moved and down He's now running being a face

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 5>out in Vegas at the Farm Blue out there. But

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 5>Mo reached out to me like he knew my history,

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.440
<v Speaker 5>he knew what I was capable of doing because he

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.120
<v Speaker 5>I've done parties with him, and so he was one

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 5>that wanted me to come and to live. They was

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 5>like five months into Open and Live, and he was

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.439
<v Speaker 5>reaching out to me about doing a Thursday party at

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.119
<v Speaker 5>Live because I was me and Lewis was at the

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 5>Forge on Sundays already, but so he was reaching out

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 5>to me. And then I think Dave Grumman was talking

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:43.920
<v Speaker 5>to Lewis, but Dave and Moe didn't know that Dave

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 5>was talking about a Sunday. Moe was talking about a Thursday.

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.479
<v Speaker 5>But we already sat at the Forge. But the Forge

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 5>then was gray closed and going into renovation. So me

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 5>and Lewis talked about it, like you know, we can

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 5>go over to Live because people are already accustomed coming

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 5>out on Sunday.

0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 4>The forger is right around the corner from the Found Blue.

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 4>It'll be an easy thing.

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 5>But one of my reservations with it was the Forge

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 5>was like a dinner party first, then it turned into

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 5>a club.

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 4>It was amazing, experienced, man, it was. It was amazing.

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.119
<v Speaker 4>I can't lie it was amazing. It was.

0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 1>It was.

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:24.400
<v Speaker 4>It was amazing.

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:28.600
<v Speaker 5>But when we went over to Live, Live had just

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:34.879
<v Speaker 5>just while it wasn't a restaurant or intimate dinner party

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:35.880
<v Speaker 5>that turned into a club.

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:39.640
<v Speaker 4>It was just like this massive club. But I said

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:40.439
<v Speaker 4>to Louis, like.

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 5>If we do come to Live, we do know what

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 5>it's going to do, because think about it, they wasn't.

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't like Live waited until they was going on

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 5>there downfall and like, all right, let's let's.

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 4>Let these niggas in here. And you know what I'm saying.

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 5>They was they were gonna fresh, They was ready, they

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 5>was opening. And I think that was one of the

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:09.919
<v Speaker 5>things that played a great success in the Live because

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 5>it was new, and you know, we always feel like,

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.159
<v Speaker 5>you know, in the stigma of being in Miami, we

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 5>couldn't go to these type of venues.

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 4>We couldn't be in these type of venues. So to

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:24.399
<v Speaker 4>be in the Found Blue, that was.

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:28.920
<v Speaker 5>One of the biggest accomplishments because even thinking about back

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 5>in the day where when you had Sammy Davis in

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 5>the Rad Pack and all that going over the Found Blue,

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.679
<v Speaker 5>but they couldn't stay at the Found Blue. They had

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 5>to go into Overtown to stay in the hotels there.

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.120
<v Speaker 5>So it was a big thing of us going into

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.880
<v Speaker 5>the Found Blue. And then when we signed that deal,

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:49.160
<v Speaker 5>it was like, oh shit, it's gonna happen for real, real,

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 5>and you know it was. It took a minute. It

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.080
<v Speaker 5>didn't just blow up now. It took a minute because

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people still had some doubt, like we

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:13.359
<v Speaker 5>can go into the Final Blue. They letting us in there.

0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 5>So it took a minute before it got going. But

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 5>when it got going, it's going.

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember who the first artist you had, the.

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:23.720

<v Speaker 2>I didn't you know, as you say, you had the

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 2>humble beginnings even in that spot. I never I never

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:19.159
<v Speaker 2>saw that. When I got there, it was.

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Scrag me too.

0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:25.520
<v Speaker 2>It was like every LA party all in one. It

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:31.200
<v Speaker 2>was like guys and dolls, colony, everything all in one room.

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Wow. I was like, I have to be here. Now

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>here's here's a question for you. Did you start? I mean,

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 1>did you start the hip hop residency.

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 5>Got We started from scratch and there was nothing before us.

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 5>It was it was, it was, it was Yeah, from

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 5>day one.

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It was us.

0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Did you hear that, folks, the first hip hop res

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 2>see We'll say it figure dog ain't gonna need you

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 2>got to tell you who?

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:08.680
<v Speaker 1>It was? Right here? Yeah, right here. I felt that though.

0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:12.159
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that because then it started moving about and

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:16.479
<v Speaker 2>everybody now has residencies with you know, Zaid rappers had

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:19.440
<v Speaker 2>singers and all that stuff. But I remember specifically that

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:23.320
<v Speaker 2>you had some fixtures in there that made sure that

0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.920
<v Speaker 2>every time we went to live it was an experience.

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead.

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:32.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't take that credit due, but now you should sure.

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 2>First time I saw it exactly remembering clubs all over

0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the world. First time I ever saw something consistent where

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:44.000
<v Speaker 2>it's like, oh they're they're the DJ. He's that Like

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 2>all of that was fixed I knew what I was

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 2>getting when I came to live for sure, and if

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:54.640
<v Speaker 2>there were any extras, And it was like that fixture

0:24:54.840 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 2>was so ginormous that it made everybody I want to

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 2>want to fall in line. Right, I kind of equated this,

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 2>and this is gonna be a weird analogy.

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:07.959
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:09.920
<v Speaker 2>There's a spot I used to eat that in Maryland

0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 2>called the Chesapeake Based Seafood House. And at the Chesapeak

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 2>bas Seafood House, there was all you can eat menu, right,

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 2>and at the top of the all you can eat

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 2>menu there was the crab legs, the most expensive item

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:24.440
<v Speaker 2>on the on the thing, but if you got the

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 2>crab legs, you can get everything underneath the menu.

0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>For All you can Eat.

0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Your fixture was the crab legs, the most epicsive thing

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 2>on the menu. So at that point, everything underneath the

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 2>menu would fall in line with the top of what's

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 2>on the top of the menu, of course, because you

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 2>at the top of the food chain already in the building.

0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:46.639
<v Speaker 2>So everybody else under all you can Eat menu was like,

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 2>we have to be in there. We have to because

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.720
<v Speaker 2>we want to be on the play too. We want

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 2>to be part of All you can.

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:52.359
<v Speaker 4>Eat is it working.

0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:58.320
<v Speaker 1>No, it's not. It's not. It's not I want it

0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to work. It wasn't my guy and I wanted to work.

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how live in crab legs.

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I want to get down to the business side of yes, right,

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:17.400
<v Speaker 3>because the reason why you're here obviously you're our guy,

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 3>and we you know, we want to celebrate you in

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 3>what you've done in this game, but we also want

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:26.680
<v Speaker 3>you to give the information to like these young promoters

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:29.639
<v Speaker 3>or even even promoters that's in it that might not

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 3>be doing it right, Like how do you get to

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 3>this space? What do you feel like are the important

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 3>or just a couple of the important keys to being

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 3>a successful promotion company.

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 6>M h.

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:47.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm always willing to to share that that information, so

0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:50.200
<v Speaker 5>it ain't no secret. Like for me, I've always said

0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:53.200
<v Speaker 5>to those who maybe reach out to me in DM

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 5>or they'll stop me in the middle of the club

0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:58.639
<v Speaker 5>or whatnot, I always say, man, it's just being humble,

0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 5>because you got to understand that in this.

0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:05.479
<v Speaker 4>Game, we need the people. The people don't need us.

0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 5>It's not like I'm selling gasoline or power, Like where

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 5>you need me, they don't need me. They can go

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:13.440
<v Speaker 5>to any other club, any other party they want. So

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:17.639
<v Speaker 5>it's just just main maintaining the level of humbleness and

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 5>being yourself. Like I this night life can get you

0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 5>caught up, man, Like it can get you caught up.

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Were you ever one of the promoters who would jump

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:28.520
<v Speaker 1>on the mic.

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.720
<v Speaker 4>No, because I wouldn't jump on the mic.

0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:34.239
<v Speaker 5>I don't even know if me and this brother got

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 5>a picture like that was never my thing though, But

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 5>that's interesting.

0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 1>I've never thought about it.

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 5>But I'm trying to I don't know if we I

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 5>don't well whatever I say that to say, like, just

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 5>just being you and not getting caught up in this game.

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 4>Because this this this night life, it's.

0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 1>It is what it is.

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 4>It can be full of. See, it can be full of.

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:07.920
<v Speaker 5>When you mixing alcohol, ego, money, celebrities, women late night.

0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:14.640
<v Speaker 5>If you don't be humble and stay grounded, it'll tear

0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:17.640
<v Speaker 5>your ass up, like because I've seen it. I've seen

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 5>it with so many different people and a lot of

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 5>promo some promoters, I ain't gonna say a lot of them.

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:24.440
<v Speaker 5>Some promoters come in this for the women. Some of

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:28.119
<v Speaker 5>them come in it for the hype. Oh I can

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 5>get you into this party. I can get you in

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:32.520
<v Speaker 5>that party. But I've always maintained like for me, it's

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:34.960
<v Speaker 5>just been about business, you know what I mean, Like

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 5>I wanna this is a I've been I've been blessed

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 5>to do this, so I want to treat it like

0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:41.720
<v Speaker 5>a business.

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Like I try not to get caught up into the

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 4>the hype of it.

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.000
<v Speaker 5>And that's why I say, like, sometimes I very seldom

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 5>take pictures like I got this little funny story real quick,

0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.920
<v Speaker 5>like it was a it was a I ain't gonna

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 5>say how long ago it was because I don't really

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 5>I vaguely remember, but I remember one time I had

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 5>went to give Future his money.

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Now I've done.

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 5>So many parties with Future up until this point, but

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 5>me and Future never really met. So it was one

0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 5>time when I end up having to take him his

0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:20.360
<v Speaker 5>money myself. And when he's seen me, he was like,

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 5>you might I thought you was white, And that shit

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:30.640
<v Speaker 5>blew my mind because he couldn't he couldn't see a

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 5>black man. The done live like on the on the

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 5>level and we talk about it right now, so it

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 5>ain't no big secret.

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 4>But and that kind of.

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 5>That kind of made me be like, well, wait a minute,

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.320
<v Speaker 5>am I doing something wrong or do I need to

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.280
<v Speaker 5>let it be no more because it can't affect the

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:53.080
<v Speaker 5>business when people don't know who's really doing it, because

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:54.960
<v Speaker 5>that opens up the door for others to come in

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 5>and the like.

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 2>It being you a black man gives give valid gives

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 2>validation to other black men coming up correct trying to

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 2>do that.

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>It's very much important that they know it is you are.

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 3>And and something to and something to look up to

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 3>and something to aspire to, right because I'll speak from

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:23.760
<v Speaker 3>the business side, right of the business, from from their

0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 3>artists standpoint of me dealing with tank and dealing with

0:30:26.760 --> 0:30:27.680
<v Speaker 3>artists that I've worked with.

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:34.120
<v Speaker 1>And having to deal with promoters. It is usually.

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 3>The hardest part for us because it's very it's very

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 3>seldom you find real businessmen and business women who are

0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 3>about their business right that who handle their business who

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 3>the money is never funny. You're not chasing this promoter

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:58.120
<v Speaker 3>throughout the club. They're not drunk, you know what I mean.

0:30:58.680 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 4>They don't.

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:01.520
<v Speaker 3>They don't come to your room smelling like we trying

0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:03.800
<v Speaker 3>to drop off the money that looks like you don't

0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 3>know where it came from, like seriously, like because as

0:31:07.880 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 3>black people, we also have to we have to audit ourselves,

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 3>and a lot of times we try to get past.

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 1>That of like, nah, man, that's just a no. Business

0:31:19.080 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 1>is business.

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Business is business, and we should handle ourselves accordingly and

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:26.320
<v Speaker 3>we should like in my phone, I would listen. This

0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 3>is something I've never said before, but in my phone

0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 3>there is a do not do business section. Oh wow,

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:38.920
<v Speaker 3>I literally have people in my phone that I will

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 3>not do business with HM. And we've had that and Mike,

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:48.840
<v Speaker 3>you know me, I am an upfront person. If they

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 3>call me, I tell them that now we can't do

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 3>we can't do that, Champ. And they try to figure

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 3>out a way to call Tank, who didn't calls me

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, Tank, do you remember up in A

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:02.760
<v Speaker 3>B and C and a BBNC And He's like, ah.

0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was Bro.

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:08.600
<v Speaker 3>We can't do business no more, right because I don't

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:13.240
<v Speaker 3>want to have my business partner in those type of situations.

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't want him looking for the promoter and Jay,

0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 3>did you did you talk to and did they? Because

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:24.880
<v Speaker 3>we already know for three or four times because it

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:26.800
<v Speaker 3>hasn't just been some people where it's just like oh

0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:29.880
<v Speaker 3>it's a one time thing. You show grace and we have.

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.760
<v Speaker 3>We've done that multiple times with multiple people. We've shown grace,

0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 3>but then it gets to a point where it's just

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:36.240
<v Speaker 3>like you just don't do business.

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:38.720
<v Speaker 4>Listen.

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if it's because it's a party. And

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 5>sometimes you know, people get confused that, oh it's they

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 5>thinking it's just a party. They don't think it of

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 5>it as business. They don't look at it as business,

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:58.360
<v Speaker 5>and they think that they can just handle it at

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 5>their own pace time like, and I try not to

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 5>do that with y'all, man, not just with with Tank,

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 5>but with everyone, because there's a level of consistency that

0:33:08.160 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 5>you got to have when you conducting business. But I've

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:13.960
<v Speaker 5>always said it, man, people think this party shop is

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 5>just a party.

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 4>They don't look at it as a business.

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 5>Like the liquor got to be paid, the lights got

0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 5>to be paid, the DJ got to be paid, the waitresses,

0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:27.600
<v Speaker 5>the security, those couches.

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Ain't free, like.

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Somebody got to pay. Somebody got to pay for it.

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:40.560
<v Speaker 4>But it's it's, it's it's I don't complain though, man, Yeah,

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:41.960
<v Speaker 4>but I'm happy. I'm in a good space.

0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:46.040
<v Speaker 5>Man. I'm blessed and thankful for the opportunities I have, man,

0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:49.960
<v Speaker 5>especially and be surrounded and acknowledged by brothers like y'all.

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 4>Man, I definitely appreciate.

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 5>It that that they can see that they can expand

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 5>outside of the club, outside of business, because I want

0:33:58.200 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 5>to say, like to both of y'all man, like you know,

0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 5>as the promoter, sometimes we don't we don't get the

<v Speaker 5>just due of like, not only are we promoting the artists,

0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:10.280
<v Speaker 5>we're paying the artists.

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:11.400

<v Speaker 4>Heavy statement, but I say that.

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:54.920
<v Speaker 5>I just wanted to create something that I can enjoy

0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:58.960
<v Speaker 5>and and then give it back to the people like you.

0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:03.000
<v Speaker 5>You you came to my Overtime Music and Arts festival,

0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:06.440
<v Speaker 5>and that festival it was free to the community, but

0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:11.480
<v Speaker 5>it was really arm be Overton and just to see

0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:12.800

0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:42:13.120 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 5>And this was back then, and so I wanted to

0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:20.279
<v Speaker 5>create that in a party setting, and I've tried it

0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:22.560
<v Speaker 5>in the past, but a lot of the club owners

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:26.960
<v Speaker 5>they wasn't They wasn't buying it, they wasn't hearing it.

0:42:26.960 --> 0:42:30.160
<v Speaker 5>They didn't want to If I ain't doing these live numbers,

0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:33.520
<v Speaker 5>then it didn't make sense to them.

0:42:33.600 --> 0:42:36.920
<v Speaker 4>But my man Angel over a racket. He gave me

0:42:37.000 --> 0:42:37.359
<v Speaker 4>a shot.

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:39.680
<v Speaker 5>He was like, I'm gonna let you come in and

0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 5>do it so and I told him it's gonna work.

0:42:43.960 --> 0:42:46.239
<v Speaker 5>It may take some time, but it's gonna work. But

0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:49.720
<v Speaker 5>that first night, man, that first that first day, because

0:42:50.080 --> 0:42:53.000
<v Speaker 5>it was a day party, because I know with us

0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:56.200

<v Speaker 5>four o'clock in the morning. But that very first one,

0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:11.120
<v Speaker 5>it was money and I felt like we had something.

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:15.960

<v Speaker 5>I'm just going along with this game, y'all playing what

0:56:14.920 --> 0:56:15.440

<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:56:57.080 --> 0:57:02.680
<v Speaker 5>The funny one I think is saying no names. Guy

0:57:02.800 --> 0:57:06.840
<v Speaker 5>trying to get up on the stage and live, and

0:57:07.000 --> 0:57:07.840
<v Speaker 5>he took a tumble.

0:57:09.400 --> 0:57:10.000
<v Speaker 4>That was funny.

0:57:10.200 --> 0:57:11.719
<v Speaker 5>It was fucked up that it happened, But it was

0:57:11.800 --> 0:57:14.560
<v Speaker 5>funny because of the guy who somebody took.

0:57:15.320 --> 0:57:18.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, trying to get up on that stage to do

0:57:19.160 --> 0:57:21.320
<v Speaker 4>here's a hard thing, sing took a tumble.

0:57:21.440 --> 0:57:24.520
<v Speaker 2>The question is, yeah, did they tumbled back into the

0:57:24.640 --> 0:57:26.240
<v Speaker 2>djo they take the.

0:57:26.440 --> 0:57:30.360
<v Speaker 5>Long tumble down to the Now they took the tumble

0:57:30.440 --> 0:57:33.200
<v Speaker 5>back into the booth. I think they missed that step.

0:57:33.400 --> 0:57:37.920
<v Speaker 5>So as they got up the Yeah, they tumbled backwards

0:57:38.240 --> 0:57:41.520
<v Speaker 5>because that tumble to that tumble to the different would

0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:44.800
<v Speaker 5>have been definitely way different. That would have been different.

0:57:44.960 --> 0:57:49.160
<v Speaker 3>It would turn the funny to fucked up complete after

0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:49.920
<v Speaker 3>the ambulance.

0:57:50.080 --> 0:57:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here's my question, because every time I'm like sitting

0:57:55.160 --> 0:57:59.320
<v Speaker 2>in the booth, I'm looking at those stairs and I'm like,

0:58:00.360 --> 0:58:05.000
<v Speaker 2>those stairs are fire hazard for anyone who's had two

0:58:05.120 --> 0:58:06.080
<v Speaker 2>to three beverages.

0:58:06.800 --> 0:58:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Has anyone taken that long for you fall all long?

0:58:16.720 --> 0:58:18.240
<v Speaker 5>They didn't make it all the way down, but they

0:58:18.760 --> 0:58:23.680
<v Speaker 5>I've seen it, and it's now that's funny because it's

0:58:23.720 --> 0:58:24.200
<v Speaker 5>fucked up.

0:58:25.960 --> 0:58:26.520
<v Speaker 4>It's funny.

0:58:27.120 --> 0:58:32.560
<v Speaker 5>And this one particular female, man, it's she took the

0:58:32.680 --> 0:58:35.680
<v Speaker 5>tumble and and a little bit of that hair got

0:58:36.080 --> 0:58:38.920
<v Speaker 5>got caught up in that stair, and it was it

0:58:39.040 --> 0:58:39.680
<v Speaker 5>was coming off.

0:58:40.000 --> 0:58:42.560
<v Speaker 4>Has she got down a few more, it would have

0:58:42.640 --> 0:58:48.320
<v Speaker 4>been off. She was able to the stairs held it. Now,

0:58:48.400 --> 0:58:51.600
<v Speaker 4>that was funny. If it would have came off, it

0:58:51.600 --> 0:58:52.640
<v Speaker 4>would have been sucked up.

0:58:53.040 --> 0:58:57.120
<v Speaker 3>We got something though, and this is something that I

0:58:57.320 --> 0:58:59.960
<v Speaker 3>was Man, I almost did not bring this up, almost

0:59:00.040 --> 0:59:03.440
<v Speaker 3>forgot to bring it up. One of the greatest parties

0:59:03.480 --> 0:59:08.520
<v Speaker 3>I have ever been to Jamie Fox's fiftieth birthday.

0:59:08.600 --> 0:59:13.000

<v Speaker 3>these amazing men, recreated live on a studio lot in

0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Los Angeles for Jamie Fox's fifty birthday.

0:59:40.760 --> 0:59:44.240

0:59:45.480 --> 0:59:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I had a time. Man.

0:59:46.760 --> 0:59:49.120

<v Speaker 1>Right now, I said, because there's no way there's to

1:00:08.040 --> 1:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>live anywhere in the world without my card. There's no way,

1:00:13.360 --> 1:00:17.160

1:00:17.200 --> 1:00:19.680
<v Speaker 5>It was amazing and it and what he's saying is

1:00:19.720 --> 1:00:22.000
<v Speaker 5>true because I got him in just in the dot

1:00:22.200 --> 1:00:24.640
<v Speaker 5>mm hmm. That scene is a scene in the documentary

1:00:24.680 --> 1:00:26.040
<v Speaker 5>where he was telling Brionn like.

1:00:26.600 --> 1:00:29.240
<v Speaker 4>Hey man, listen, Fox called me.

1:00:30.040 --> 1:00:32.320
<v Speaker 5>He's saying he was thinking about we're gonna do live

1:00:32.840 --> 1:00:36.680
<v Speaker 5>in l A And he said, I told Fox, I said,

1:00:37.440 --> 1:00:40.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't think you can do live with ourt headliner.

1:00:41.000 --> 1:00:45.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna be forever and then to you, brother, forever.

1:00:46.320 --> 1:00:48.840
<v Speaker 4>So to see him recreate that, man, that was.

1:00:49.120 --> 1:00:50.680
<v Speaker 5>That was one of those moments where I was like,

1:00:52.640 --> 1:00:54.640
<v Speaker 5>do I open up my shirt and shoulder ass on

1:00:54.760 --> 1:00:57.400

<v Speaker 1>Ship in the sky. It was.

1:01:08.040 --> 1:01:09.600
<v Speaker 4>It was everything, man.

1:01:09.720 --> 1:01:12.280
<v Speaker 5>It was the two levels, the couches in the middle

1:01:12.280 --> 1:01:15.400
<v Speaker 5>of the DJ booth, they even had the makeshift stairs.

1:01:16.720 --> 1:01:18.320
<v Speaker 4>It was that shit was dope.

1:01:18.360 --> 1:01:20.120

<v Speaker 3>just like, Yo, this is insane. The craziest sh it is.

1:01:30.920 --> 1:01:34.600

<v Speaker 3>forgetting your name they were at the table, but they

1:01:53.280 --> 1:01:56.480
<v Speaker 3>were just kind of walking around because nobody really knew

1:01:56.520 --> 1:01:58.800

1:01:59.000 --> 1:02:02.520

<v Speaker 4>Man.

1:02:09.400 --> 1:02:11.360

<v Speaker 3>I'm like that nigga became the biggest thing in the world.

1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>This show became you know what I mean.

1:02:16.800 --> 1:02:21.200
<v Speaker 3>All this was at this Jamie Fox lived fiftieth birthday

1:02:22.200 --> 1:02:25.120
<v Speaker 3>and I'm literally just I'm watching the stage from from

1:02:25.160 --> 1:02:28.600
<v Speaker 3>our from our table, and I'm just I'm just a spectator.

1:02:28.960 --> 1:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm not going up there.

1:02:30.160 --> 1:02:32.240

1:02:32.320 --> 1:02:34.560
<v Speaker 3>show and all the shit that's going on around.

<v Speaker 4>It was dope and and how it was curated.

1:02:39.960 --> 1:02:42.400
<v Speaker 5>It was like Live on Sunday, like where all the

1:02:42.480 --> 1:02:45.960
<v Speaker 5>artists get on stage and you don't know who performed.

1:02:46.280 --> 1:02:51.320
<v Speaker 4>Because even for me at that party, I've never.

1:02:51.280 --> 1:02:54.040
<v Speaker 5>Seen ice Cube perform at the club. And when ice

1:02:54.120 --> 1:02:57.840
<v Speaker 5>Cube came out, man, I lost my mind, man.

1:02:59.040 --> 1:03:05.200

<v Speaker 4>was that was no that party was crazy.

1:03:08.560 --> 1:03:11.600
<v Speaker 5>And I think that's just again, that's just the testaments

1:03:11.640 --> 1:03:15.920
<v Speaker 5>to the support that the people give. And you know him,

1:03:16.360 --> 1:03:19.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, whether he wanted to do it or it

1:03:20.040 --> 1:03:22.160
<v Speaker 5>was an idea, he still went through with it and

1:03:22.320 --> 1:03:25.200
<v Speaker 5>made it happen. It was it just, man, that type

1:03:25.200 --> 1:03:26.520

1:04:56.880 --> 1:04:59.480
<v Speaker 5>I do want to say though, like you know what

1:04:59.600 --> 1:05:02.240
<v Speaker 5>you say in regards to the R and B and

1:05:04.120 --> 1:05:06.440
<v Speaker 5>you can just let me get forty seven seconds to

1:05:06.560 --> 1:05:09.800
<v Speaker 5>clear this up. Like I never I don't feel like

1:05:09.920 --> 1:05:13.760
<v Speaker 5>we started the R and B parties when we started

1:05:13.800 --> 1:05:15.640
<v Speaker 5>to do because I was doing the R and B

1:05:15.760 --> 1:05:18.200
<v Speaker 5>party back in two thousand and five. But it's what

1:05:18.640 --> 1:05:21.360
<v Speaker 5>I think has happened though, which is great for everyone,

1:05:21.560 --> 1:05:25.400
<v Speaker 5>including all the R and B artists and everything. It's

1:05:25.480 --> 1:05:28.360
<v Speaker 5>just been this movement now of R and B parties,

1:05:28.800 --> 1:05:31.240
<v Speaker 5>and I think it's great and I command all the

1:05:31.320 --> 1:05:34.600
<v Speaker 5>promoters across the world that's taking their chance to do

1:05:34.760 --> 1:05:37.760
<v Speaker 5>these R and B parties because it's given life tonight,

1:05:37.880 --> 1:05:41.120
<v Speaker 5>life as opposed to just going standing on couch is

1:05:41.120 --> 1:05:43.880
<v Speaker 5>spending money, throwing money. Now we can get back to

1:05:43.920 --> 1:05:47.760
<v Speaker 5>the essence of having a good time. And whether I

1:05:47.880 --> 1:05:50.240
<v Speaker 5>want to take the credit of starting it, I'm not,

1:05:50.640 --> 1:05:53.360
<v Speaker 5>but I know that, you know, a lot of the

1:05:53.400 --> 1:05:57.240
<v Speaker 5>promoters that I see doing it now they feel like

1:05:57.360 --> 1:06:00.360
<v Speaker 5>it's okay because they see that I took a chance

1:06:00.440 --> 1:06:04.760
<v Speaker 5>on doing it coming from a place of Live on Sunday. Yeah,

1:06:04.960 --> 1:06:07.280
<v Speaker 5>so I think with the R and B parties, man,

1:06:07.480 --> 1:06:10.640
<v Speaker 5>it's good for everybody and uh and and it's good

1:06:10.720 --> 1:06:12.640
<v Speaker 5>for night life. So I did want to say that

1:06:12.720 --> 1:06:14.720
<v Speaker 5>because I don't want a lot of people thinking that

1:06:14.840 --> 1:06:17.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm taking the credit for these R and B parties.

1:06:17.560 --> 1:06:21.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm just stamping my my my place in it.

1:06:21.240 --> 1:06:22.960
<v Speaker 2>What the beauty of what your of your R and

1:06:23.040 --> 1:06:25.040
<v Speaker 2>B party is that it's it's really an R and

1:06:25.120 --> 1:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>B party. And even even though the party lives on

1:06:28.240 --> 1:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>its own, when you when you book artists for your

1:06:31.360 --> 1:06:33.960
<v Speaker 2>R and B party, you book actual R and B

1:06:34.320 --> 1:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>artists because.

1:06:36.440 --> 1:06:37.280
<v Speaker 1>There is a difference.

1:06:37.840 --> 1:06:40.400
<v Speaker 2>You're right, and I want to encourage you know, everybody

1:06:40.520 --> 1:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>is doing these parties, you know, all the all over

1:06:43.040 --> 1:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>the world all over the country as you're getting to

1:06:45.040 --> 1:06:45.480
<v Speaker 2>this space.

1:06:45.920 --> 1:06:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Book of the R and B artists, Yeah, there's nothing

1:06:49.160 --> 1:06:51.520
<v Speaker 3>wrong with Carling l de Bars to pull up and

1:06:51.640 --> 1:06:54.840
<v Speaker 3>ke baby Face to pull up, you know what I mean,

1:06:55.240 --> 1:06:56.960
<v Speaker 3>And getting Charlie Wilson to company.

1:06:57.720 --> 1:06:58.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's cool.

1:06:58.520 --> 1:07:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Like listen, we love all the new young artists too,

1:07:01.120 --> 1:07:06.040
<v Speaker 3>and absolutely booked them. But don't forget about the legends

1:07:06.080 --> 1:07:08.000
<v Speaker 3>in this game. They start that can pull up and

1:07:08.000 --> 1:07:13.520
<v Speaker 3>get busy, Johnny Gil coming that mother fucking crazy, you

1:07:13.560 --> 1:07:16.360
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean. So it's like, why y'all booking

1:07:16.400 --> 1:07:18.640
<v Speaker 3>these parties and why y'all putting together this whole R

1:07:18.720 --> 1:07:23.280
<v Speaker 3>and B space for the party? Think about that because

1:07:23.280 --> 1:07:25.560
<v Speaker 3>I feel like a lot of times within the hip

1:07:25.600 --> 1:07:28.680
<v Speaker 3>hop party, a lot of the four files of hip hop,

1:07:29.200 --> 1:07:32.560
<v Speaker 3>they didn't get booked for those corrects. But in R

1:07:32.600 --> 1:07:35.360
<v Speaker 3>and B, this music it just hit different. This music

1:07:35.440 --> 1:07:38.960
<v Speaker 3>hits different. I'm waiting to see Tavin Gamble Tevin Campbell
