Speaker 1: Welcome, Welcome to ja dot com, a production of iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2: welcome back. My name is Questlove.

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: Last week we had this long overdue talk with our friend,

5
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: our love, Jill Scott. Coming up without further ado, Part

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: two of our exciting interview on Quest Love Supreme, One

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 3: and only Miss Jill Scott. This is like our first

8
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: real extended conversation has lasted more than an hour in

9
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: our twenty years of knowing each other.

10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 4: Now I understand why she ended up working with Jazz

11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 4: and Jail.

12
00:00:53,720 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: And I was trying. I called. I called James Poyser

13
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: because I knew him from the Jam sessions. I called

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: every producer that I knew of, every studio that I

15
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: knew of, to find out if they needed a writer

16
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: or a singer. And for six months, nobody said anything.

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: And then one day I saw Jazzy Jeff on the

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: street talking to Rich Medina and I was like, what's up.

19
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm just annoyed, you know, heading to the theater, go

20
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: sweep floors and clean toilets. And I walked away and

21
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Jeff was like, who's that? And Rich told him. Now,

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: that's Joe Scott. He was like, that's Jill Scout. She

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: calls my studio every day.

24
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: Wow.

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: And then they called me in to see if I

26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 1: could write a song, but I, you know, still lying.

27
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, yeah, I write a song. And

28
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: I tried it and it worked out. It just and

29
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: it kept working out, and it just until the album

30
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: happened and you have work.

31
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: When was the first song that you wrote?

32
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: The first song had a touch of jazz, The first

33
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: song that I ever wrote, Well, the hook I ever

34
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: wrote was you got me?

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, dog, that's what she said.

36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 5: She said, she faked her.

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: I know that, but I still was hoping to get

38
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: clarity that my song wasn't your first, got my first.

39
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 5: But that's what you get?

40
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: Are you serious?

41
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 3: I am for all listening to this episode. That's a

42
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: life lesson. You stepped into some ship, into an opportunity.

43
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: I would have thought that by that point you, I mean,

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: you handled it like you've been doing this ship for

45
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 3: seven eight years. You I've never once heard you say

46
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: this is the first song I ever wrote? And wait? Also,

47
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: how it feels to be Drake famous? Did you like

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 3: your shout out?

49
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: Yeah? This is this is his second one?

50
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: Oh shit, I the first time.

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh wait, we got two Drake icons on the line.

52
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: What he said, Jill? Huh?

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 5: What did he say to you? I missed it?

54
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: He talked about his question on Jill Scott on this

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: new album.

56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I'll go listen to that.

57
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: All the kids are listening to it.

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 5: It's very sweet, man, you banging, I mean, okay, yeah, she.

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Got thanks ma'am. Thanks yo.

60
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 6: But Jill, weren't you one of the one of the

61
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 6: rare artists that actually got the whole touch of jazz

62
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 6: involved in your record, because it's not like too many

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 6: artists that have everybody right.

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was it like at the point where they

65
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: were together like.

66
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: As magic magic? I missed that, I think. I mean,

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: that's the thing I missed the most. We had so

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: much fun in every room. They were working every room,

69
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: five rooms, four rooms or whatever it was at the time.

70
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: You just walk out of one and go to the

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: next a totally different energy, and then you go in

72
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: the next room and laugh hysterically. Vidal of course, was

73
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: hilarious and still is. And and Dre is learning how

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: to play the guitar at the time, and Keith is

75
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: straight out of church, so all of his stuff everything,

76
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: and he puts his fingers to on the keys. It

77
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: just feels like like old soul because the church that

78
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: he was in his father was a pastor, and it

79
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: just felt old and rich and everything. It was. We

80
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: had fun. We didn't have any money. We shared cheese steaks,

81
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: We cut out, cut out the McDonald's bags to go

82
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: to great events, not great adventures. All rolled in Dre's car.

83
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: It had a hole in the floor if you're sat

84
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: in the front seat and not fall asleep and let

85
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: your feet fall in the hole because it was a rap.

86
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: We were broke and it was fun and it was

87
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: probably still the best time I ever had.

88
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 4: It were working, you were working on the album or

89
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 4: what would become the album. This was before Hidden Beach

90
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 4: even came into the picture.

91
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. I had been calling Jeff and finally he'd seen

92
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: me and he said, okay, you can come in. I

93
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: called again and said why did you come down? And

94
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: none of the guys wanted to give me any music?

95
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: So I kind of hung around, stood around, hung around

96
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: and said, well, do you have anything that you know

97
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: that I could take? And they were like, oh no, no,

98
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: we're working with Will Smooth. We're working with you know.

99
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: And I was like, uh, well, this studio. I got

100
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: to find a way to come back here. You know,

101
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: the lobby, the wood is exposed. Can I stand in

102
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: poll of your thing the lobby so to look seriously,

103
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm very serious. And Jeff was like, oh, that would

104
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: look nice. And I said, well, you know, can I

105
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: do it? And he was like all right, I'll give

106
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'll give you money for the supplies. And

107
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: I stayed in poly ery thing the lobby and so

108
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: Scott was going on in the other rooms, and you know,

109
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: they would come out and leave the door open and

110
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: let me hear sometimes or I would, you know, go

111
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: in for a minute and to say, oh I like that.

112
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: And then eventually they gave me a tape and they

113
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: had seven songs on them, and those seven songs ended

114
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: up being on who is Joe Scott?

115
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 6: And the Rain was after that? Right, I'm sorry, you said,

116
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 6: Will Smith. So I just automatically went to the rain.

117
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 6: It happened later okay.

118
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: After after they started letting me write and then uh sing,

119
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: because I had to let him know I wasn't planning

120
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: on singing but I had to let him know how

121
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: it went, and they were like, oh, yeah, that was

122
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: that was good. Wait minute you sing?

123
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, Joe would be ready in one

124
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 6: of them seven songs.

125
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: Be Ready came later. Damn, okay, be Ready came later.

126
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: I love that song.

127
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: But the most amazing story I've ever heard, Mom.

128
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 4: One thing we never talking about, like your voice? How

129
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 4: did you develop your voice? You said you didn't like

130
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 4: really sing in choirs or church or whatever. How did

131
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: you develop your style?

132
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: I did sing at Girls High, but we sang classical

133
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: music primarily, and that just it just felt nice to me.

134
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: And then they sent me on some school trip and

135
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: I saw Kathleen Battle sing and was like, oh my god,

136
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: I didn't even know there was such thing as a

137
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: black opera singer, Like this is dope. And then I

138
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: mostly honestly, I just started being a mimic. I mimicked

139
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: Anita Baker, I mimicked philisheymon, Kathleen Battle mimicked her.

140
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: That.

141
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: I I think that is where it started. You know,

142
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have any plans to sing at all. I'm

143
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: still amazed. I'm still like, what do you want me to?

144
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: What word? All right?

145
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: Okay, So yeah, Jeff, he said the same thing about

146
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: He said, like, y'all first started working that and you can,

147
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 4: you know, tell me for stret He was saying that

148
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: they kind of had to convince you, I guess, to sing,

149
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: like you know, they were more so interested in doing

150
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 4: the poetry. But he was like, yo, what the hell, Like, nah,

151
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: you need to do that ship, you know what I'm saying.

152
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: He was kind of pushing you.

153
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: To do it.

154
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he was definitely a motivating force. And then

155
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: I think when I when I started singing in front

156
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: of people, this was before that. I mean yeah, this

157
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: was before Hit a Touch of Jazz or Hitting Beach

158
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: or any of that. Richmond, Dina and I we were

159
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: sitting outside my house and normally and things had gone

160
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: real bad. I knew all, iknew, all the crackheads. Nobody

161
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: ever bothered me. You know, somebody would like try to

162
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: run up on me or whatever, and then they sing

163
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: it like oh hey Jill, and if they were real hot,

164
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: like Jill Jill, you know right, you know, they got

165
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: to give you a double double name. That's right, right,

166
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: what's something? Or mayor then some guy pulled up on

167
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: us and tried to rob us sitting in front of

168
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: my house and shot at us. Actually, Richard pulled off

169
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: and the guy shot at us, and everything I think

170
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: was different. We had a poetry reading the next day

171
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: and I went to it in my pajamas because I

172
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out how to put clothes on. Like, my

173
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: safety was gone. Everything I knew that was my own,

174
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: this is my hood, these are my crackheads, this is

175
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: my drug dealers, this is my block. You know, I'm

176
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: safe was gone. And I instead of writing or reciting

177
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: the poem I had written, I just started singing. And

178
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: that was that was a beginning. Must have been two No,

179
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: couldn't have been two thousand and probably ninety eight, ninety yeah,

180
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: probably like ninety eight, gotcha. And that's when I was like,

181
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: I think I could do this. You know, I probably

182
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: could do this. I'll just try to be a writer

183
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: because Lord knows, I don't want to be famous.

184
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: Wow.

185
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: And so what was that like? Well, first of all,

186
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: there's a question I had about your block. The house

187
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 3: that the video to Long Walk is connected to. Is

188
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: that your childhood home? Yes, And the same house is

189
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: getting in the way.

190
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 5: You're just sitting in front the.

191
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: One that I came out of for getting in the

192
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: way is across the street from my house. I passed

193
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: my house right and the one that I was sitting

194
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: on the steps for a long Walk, that's a neighbor's.

195
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: I gotta say the intro to long Walk, no Philly

196
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: Strong the intro yeah, well, no, no, no, I don't even

197
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 3: mean the video. Of course the video too, because you're

198
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: smiling all that stuff, but that the ten second, the

199
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: first fifteen seconds of long Walk. The song is probably

200
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: like I have like my top five happy adrenaline moments,

201
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: like things I have to hear if I need to

202
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: like get in a mood of happiness or whatever. Long

203
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: Walk and herb Alberts Route one oh one or those

204
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: two songs, which is where.

205
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: To come.

206
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 2: Don't look up herb Alberts.

207
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: People associated that with the dentist office happy song, But yeah, man,

208
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: it's something that like.

209
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: Do you ever get tired of.

210
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: People's fandom of because I feel as though they don't

211
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: give your entire catalog a fair shot. Only because I

212
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: think that sort of like your association with the Whiz,

213
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: I think the sentimental attachment to discovering you as an artist,

214
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: as a fan discover you as an artist? And what

215
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: the soundtrack of that album for everyone in two thousand,

216
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: like it was perfect because no one saw it coming,

217
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: and to me, nobody saw it coming. Like literally on

218
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: I'll say the soundtrack to the Voodoo Tour was like

219
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: just playing it every twenty four to seven. If I'm

220
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,359
Speaker 3: not playing it, Anthony Hamilton's playing in the back even

221
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: you know, D'Angelo is so retro, like he wouldn't dare

222
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: listen to anything older than like thirty years Like even

223
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: he's rocking that shit because no one is expecting it.

224
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: Like how how was it the first go round in

225
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 3: your taste of celebrity and your relationship with your family,

226
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: your relationship with your friends, and I might have to

227
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 3: move out of this neighborhood like separation?

228
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: Can you come back?

229
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: Is?

230
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 2: What's Thanksgiving?

231
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: Like?

232
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: In Thanksgiving two thousand and one? Like what was it?

233
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 3: What was it like the first year and a half

234
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: that after that album came out?

235
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: Well it I could say there were a lot more

236
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: people at the family reunion than they ever.

237
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 5: Showed up for sure.

238
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: The story.

239
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I didn't expect anything, so I got way

240
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: more than I expected because I wasn't expecting anything, but

241
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: Lizella and I were living together and uh and our

242
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: little second floor walk up and people were riding by

243
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: playing the music at three, four o'clock in the morning,

244
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: you know, just highest capacity, just so loud, and I

245
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: at first, honestly, I was blown I just was blown away.

246
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: I didn't expect anything, so I was really didn't know

247
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: how to take it, didn't didn't know what to feel

248
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: about it either. Oh, it just started to hurt.

249
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: In what way.

250
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: Because people there were the presumption that they knew everything

251
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: about me or who I was instead of just meeting me,

252
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: and that hurt. It hurt me, Like I've got right,

253
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: I heard I know her from this to that. She's

254
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: like this, so she's like that, and I'm like, I'm

255
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: still growing, I'm still figuring it out. I I don't know.

256
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm out here trying to live.

257
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 5: And you still have.

258
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 6: And they gave you the earthy label too, which for

259
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 6: us at black radio, trying to play your radio, play

260
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 6: your song, we were trying to make people understand the

261
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 6: difference in earthy and neo soul people and regular old folks,

262
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 6: and the fact that they were regular old folks.

263
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 5: She wrote a song about beating a bitious ass like

264
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 5: why can't.

265
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: She be There's nothing conscious about this.

266
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 5: But they put you in that bubble.

267
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: Bubbles happened. You know. I didn't like that either. I

268
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: just didn't like the world thing and that they knew

269
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: who or what or why I was even here before

270
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: I did. You know, I'm still figuring it out twenty

271
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: years later. You know, who is Jill Scott? So much

272
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: has changed, you know, it's way different than it was

273
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: last year. You know, I'm a mother of eleven year old.

274
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: Now that's way different from ten. I don't care who

275
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: you talk to.

276
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: You talk now.

277
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: Aren't you them teaching me handy? They have to? You know,

278
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of a pandemic. What does that mean?

279
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: Who do I become in the middle of a pandemic?

280
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: Or who does anybody become? You know, I still like

281
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: simple things, no matter how fancy my life may appear.

282
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: I still hug trees. I think they're the bomb.

283
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: I do argument about you being earthy, but that's fine.

284
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: That's what I flirt with them. You know, I'm still

285
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: very very simple in these ways, and I treasure that

286
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: about myself. Take it all with a grain of salt.

287
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: All the time, all the time. I don't need I don't.

288
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't need the athlete so much. What I need

289
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: is to be able to pay all my bills. I

290
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: need to be able to go on vacations and enjoy them.

291
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: I need to be able to help my people where

292
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: I can. I need to be able to not worry

293
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: that I'm headed back where it came from, because I

294
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: don't want to go. I don't want to be shot at.

295
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to have to fend off,

296
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, crackheads trying to shoot at me. I don't

297
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: want that light.

298
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: So you have nightmares of one day this could be

299
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: over and I'll be back at twenty third and blah

300
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: blah blah.

301
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: I have nightmares of not having food in the pantry.

302
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 7: That is.

303
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: That's a big one. I remember that. It comes from

304
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: quite some time where neighbors Jehovah witnesses particularly, were coming

305
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: by dropping off baskets of food because we didn't have any.

306
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: And I'm you know, it's not like I'm really pulling

307
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: out a violin for sad songs. This is my existence,

308
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: this is my life, and these are the things that

309
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: keep me grounded. I know that it only.

310
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 8: Takes one wrong phrase or one wrong song, or one

311
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 8: wrong role, or you know, to have to have a

312
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 8: society cancel you or or shoe you away and not value.

313
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: You, know, what you bring to the table. I don't

314
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: think that I'm the greatest singer. I think that I

315
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: offer a lot of spirit. I think that whatever if

316
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: it's passion or lust, if it's if it's fear or

317
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: pain or happiness, simple joys, whatever they may be, thought

318
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: process when I sing, you can hear that. And that's

319
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: my gift. I'm able to convey emotions well.

320
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 4: And I'm aware now you you do that well, and

321
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: you I always want to tell you this, like you

322
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 4: really played a big role, probably unknowingly for me. I

323
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 4: was doing the session with Jeff like some years ago,

324
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: and it was a little brother song and me and

325
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 4: Pooh we were driving up the Delaware and we had

326
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 4: in our mind, okay, it's rapt the rap rap time.

327
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 4: We about to damn wrap this nig under the table,

328
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And so were just like,

329
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 4: all right, this rap the rap rap, And so we

330
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 4: get to the spot and Jeff is just playing like

331
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: all these kind of R and B records you know

332
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.

333
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: And they were dope.

334
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 4: I mean, the shit was dope, but it was not

335
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 4: what we expected, you know what I mean. And so

336
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: we ended up doing the song where pooh rhymed, and

337
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 4: I mean I ended up singing on it. And so

338
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 4: I was just singing because Jeff had to catch your

339
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 4: flight and stuff, and so I'm just kind of cutting vocals,

340
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: not really thinking about it. And so I came out

341
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: to booth and I was like, Jeff had this look

342
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 4: on his face. I thought I had fucked up. I said, Man,

343
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 4: what's wrong? He was like, man, you need to be

344
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 4: singing all this time. You need to be singing. I

345
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 4: was like, Jeff, Dude, I just kind of did it

346
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: because that's what we had. I don't really want to

347
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 4: do it. He was like, man, you know who the

348
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: same you know who else said that? You know who

349
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: else said that same ship. I was like, who he said?

350
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: Jill?

351
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 4: And I was like, damn, like word and he said

352
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 4: at that time that he told me, he said, man,

353
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 4: and sometimes people can see things in you that you

354
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 4: don't see in yourself.

355
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 2: He was like, bro, you got something keep doing.

356
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 4: And that's something that I always always just wanted to

357
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 4: share that with you. You know you really When I when

358
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 4: I heard when when he heard when I heard him

359
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: say that Jill Scott didn't think she was a good singer,

360
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 4: I said, well, nigga got damn. Everybody must say they

361
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 4: voice then, because I love your voice, you know what

00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 4: I mean?

363
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: But that was that was really that was really inspiring

364
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: to me. Jill.

365
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 3: What is your preparation for acting and how different how

366
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: does it differ to your preparation for singing and songwriting?

367
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: Like what's your creative process? Are you meditation?

368
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: Is it? Like? What's what's your creative approach to it?

369
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: Probably terror is the first step for me, Like I

370
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: just don't want to fuck up so bad. I don't

371
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: want to be the weak link in the room. I

372
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: don't that. That's like, I just don't want that.

373
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 5: What was the first one, Jie?

374
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: Was it?

375
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 5: Why did I get married?

376
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 8: Yeah?

377
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

378
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: And the first TV show was Girlfriends and Marlbrock I

379
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: killed gave me an ARC. She had never even seen

380
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: me act before and gave me an ARC. And I

381
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: was like, come on, God, like, I'm just like out

382
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: here blessed like crazy, and it's like ridiculous goodness, gracious anyway,

383
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: how do I prepare like versus it's terror? And then

384
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: there's homework, because so I could be prepared, and I

385
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: study a lot, a lot. I try to take walks

386
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: where I can and be still where I can, and

387
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: then I need to move my body, you know, so

388
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: that I could feel that person you know in me

389
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: around me. And then the famous line is to be

390
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: that guy. That's it, be that guy at all costs,

391
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: whatever that means.

392
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 6: Who challenged you the most in his acting journey, like

393
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 6: as far as like direction.

394
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Miguela, he was he directed the talent in mister Ripley. Okay,

395
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: I think in the Piano lesson Cold Mountain.

396
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: HBO series. Correct.

397
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: Yes, he auditioned me six times, Yes, for hours. It

398
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: was the most gruesome experience. At some point I was like,

399
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: fuck you either you want me or you don't, Like

400
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: I can't keep coming here, or I need you to

Speaker 1: come tomorrow. Come to New York tomorrow, dude, like I

402
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: have other things that I have to do. Seriously, you

403
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: gotta know by now if you want me or not.

404
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: And his auditions were brutal. Okay, say the lines and

405
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: now your your left rib is cracked. Go okay, say

406
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,720

Speaker 1: right eyelash. Go now say the lines and your you

408

Speaker 5: Go wow, that sounds good.

Speaker 3: or I.

412
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: Don't know what he was doing, but being Anthony Miguela,

413
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: the man won like eight oscars exactly.

414
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 6: And you were the first black woman to help to

415
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 6: lead a HBO series.

416
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 5: So ship, Yeah, it wasn't going to be either. Yeah,

00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: I was. I was really hurt when I didn't win

419
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: an nua a c P image word for that role.

420
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: I was really hurt because I shot that ship. I was.

421
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: I left there seven months pregnant. We worked in one

422
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen degrees casually and right on location in

423
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: Botswana for seven months. And yeah, three months the first time,

424
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: four months the next time. And I was just like,

425
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: I shot a show about Africa, you know, even though

426
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: it's fictional.

427
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 6: In Africa, and you lived it every birthday, and now

428
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 6: you're playing them where they usually play us exactly.

429
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: Well, if they get the opportunity, which is a real treasures.

430
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: Take you to have that accent comfortably.

431
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: We they I had was studying an hour day every

432
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: day for two months, and then when I got there,

433
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: it was all wrong. They gave me a zim accent

434
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: and not a Mutsuana accent.

435
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: Whoa. So I had to learn everything.

436
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: Unlearned everything and relearn it real fast. And the Mutswana women,

437
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: the elder women would sit around and if I got

438
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: something wrong, they go ah, and I was like, this

439
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: asked not the sound that I wanted to hear. I

440
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: did not want to let them down in any way.

441
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: And then when I got stuff right, you hear them go.

442
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 8: My gay, you're.

443
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: Live for my gall was what happened? What happened with

444
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 4: the show? Why did they only do one passed away?

445
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: Right?

446
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: Yes? He did, Yes he did. He was he was

447
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: so brilliant, and I thought that he was a flirt.

448
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know what was going on. He was so touchy,

449
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: like stop touching me all the time. I don't like it.

450
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: I smacked him because I was like, it's too much.

451
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're doing. And then his wife

452
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: came and I had an opportunity to see them together,

453
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: and I realized, oh my god, he's not flirting. He's Italian,

454
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: he's just he's just he's just loving and a Italian.

455
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: And then after that our relationship just you know, flew.

456
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: You know, he was brilliant, and it was Sidney Pollack

457
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: who was the executive producer, and Harvey Weinstein was tada. Yeah,

458
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: so Sydney passed away first and then Anthony passed soon after.

459
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: You know, I tried to get the show to continue,

460
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: but nobody was really interested. I don't know. I thought

461
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: it was because the show was too positive. You know,

462
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: there wasn't a bunch of disease and murder and you know,

463
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: war and aids. You know, it's just people being people

464
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: in Africa, you know what I'm saying. Like it was destruction,

465
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't enough death in destruction. So you know, this

466
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: sweethearted show couldn't continue.

467
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: Are there any ideas that you would like to develop.

468
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: For Oh, yeah, there's one like no, but I've had

469
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: my finger on one for quite some time after a

Speaker 2: One thing. One thing I always wanted to ask you.

508
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 4: Some of my favorite songs of yours are always just

509
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 4: your short kind of interlude songs like Crown Royal and

510
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: Hear My Hear My Call.

511
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: I think that's right.

Speaker 4: I just those are just gorgeous fucking songs like what's

513
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 4: your thought process and just making them short versus like

514
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 4: full you know, I guess, verse, chorus, bridge, whatever kind

515
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 4: of songs.

516
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: I think when it's done, it's done. I just I

517
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: just feel that way, like, when it's done, it's done.

518
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: Keep I could, you know, keep forcing the issue. But

519
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, when you bust the nuts, you did it,

520
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: you know necessary, you don't necessarily have to do back

521
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: for it should be like that's what it was?

522
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: Is it all right? Can I ask for hear My Call? Specifically?

523
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: Is yeah, that was you? That was your idea?

524
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 5: Oh he was startupocratic go I get it?

525
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: No, not even is it still draining and emotional for

526
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 2: you to sing it?

527
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: Or do you have a she's out of my life

528
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: relationship with it now where it's like you can phone

529
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: it in if you want to like what if there's

530
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: a night where you're just not in the mood to

531
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: rock that song, but you know that there's expectations to

532
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: or I've just never seen a song in which people

533
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 3: are boohoo crying anytime. And I've seen you probably like

534
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: seven times in concert, yeah, and mostly in the back row.

535
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: Now because I'm sorry about that. Somehow they placed me

536
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: like dead row, front row center, like Jill's first Philly

537
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 3: show's horrible.

538
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. See No, I'm just saying I won't do

539
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: that to you. I'll try to make sure that they

540
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: don't do that for it.

541
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: No, No, I went to the back road because it

542
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: was like, you don't.

543
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: Want to be in the front row.

544
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 3: I was in the front road, dead center, in front

545
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: of you, and I was like, oh god, why am I?

546
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: My point is, you're the reason why you're such an

547
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: amazing performer is because it's it's it's heartfelt, and it's

548
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 3: believable and it's authentic. That song, in particular, breaks people's

549
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: hearts so much every time they hear it. Are there

550
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: times where you're just like, Nope, no more, I'm not

551
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: doing this anymore, like smells like teen Spirit.

552
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: They well, the audiences in Europe, they typically won't leave

553
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: until I see it. They will not leave no matter

554
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: what I say, no matter how many lights come on.

555
00:30:54,080 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: They're waiting for it. And I saw ridiculous. I could

556
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: barely finish. Or damn it, you know, I those are

557
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: the town Why did you? Why did you write that?

558
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: Why did you say that? Why damn it? And then

559
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: record it and have the audacity to put it on

560
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: a project so other people can hear it. But I

561
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: feel like that's the work.

562
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 4: You know.

563
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: You want people to smile randomly or you know, flirt

564
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: or be or feel in love, feel it, you know,

565
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: and if you need to to mourn something, there should

566
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: be music for that too. There's music for cooking, there's

567
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: music for cleaning. You know, there's there's all this good music.

568
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Luckily for us. You know, humanity and music we're so connected.

569
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: And I struggle with that. You know, I typically sotob

570
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: myself and then you know, it's a whole audience full

571
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: of teers and it just is what it is. And

572
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: you know that means there's hugs to be given because

573
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: I need to feel better and so to you. So

574
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, I typically come out and then you know,

575
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: before COVID. You know, we hell each other. It's just,

576
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's not my favorite to do the sad songs,

577
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: but I'm here for it, and apparently audience for too.

578
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: Man.

579
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: I think it's well written. I have to give myself

580
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: some credit on that. I think that my pen definitely

581
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: poured out my heart at that time.

582
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 5: Can you sing your songs, Jill?

583
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: You think I can't sing everybody songs? No, I mean

584
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: a song written by someone else. Yeah, I can sing

585
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: a song written by somebody else for me.

586
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 4: If it's for you, it's got yeah. Okay, Okay, I

587
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 4: have a question. Okay, first, let me give your flowers

588
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 4: for Rolling Hills. I love that song to I hope

589
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 4: that's one. Maybe it'll be one of the ones for

590
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 4: versus you know, well, we'll see. But I love I

591
00:32:58,680 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 4: love that fucking song.

592
00:32:59,600 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: I love that.

593
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: It's so hard to choose because they're, you know, they're

594
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: asking me for twenty of my favorite songs, and I'm like,

595
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: my my favorites are kind of obscure, like I don't know.

596
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 6: I'm going on the danger zone, the danger zone, just

597
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 6: the danger zone. When when the artist picks out all

598
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 6: these songs and don't realize that these have nothing to

599
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 6: do with people.

600
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: Love but the people, and then you.

601
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: Realize that for the record label, you go, oh yeah,

602
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't have one of those.

603
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 5: I'm just saying what you're thinking and not Oh.

604
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: My masters are masters?

605
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: Yes, your masters? Wow? Dope, Yes, okay, amazing.

606
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 4: Other question I had so hate on me? Yeah that

607
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 4: song about.

608
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 5: Yeah forgot Yes.

609
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 2: Shut up, we have a conversation.

610
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: Not at all the turmoil and danger I've brought to

611
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 3: your life.

612
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 1: Man, I'm sorry, it's not true. It's not true at all.

613
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: That was Thompson.

614
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: That would be hilarious.

615
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 5: It wanted to be such a mild, like no seating version.

616
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: That would be hilarious, surviving Beard Toms.

617
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 5: Just I'm just joking.

618
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: God, Just what was her guitar player's name? We're in

619
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: the hell.

620
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 2: That was Dan was the guitar player.

621
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you're telling me she married Dan.

622
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: She's just not married Dan. Somebody I believe you right

623
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: now is in uh Brighton, Brighton, England. Last time I

624
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 3: spoke to her, she was is dating.

625
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 2: All right? Who's singing that duet with Nana Cherry seven seconds? Uh?

626
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,360

Speaker 3: Lily went on to like get record deals and stuff,

664
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 3: they were like the they were like it was like

665
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: toy story. They were the broken toys left behind and

666
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 3: they all grouped up super powered and then became.

667
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 2: And I was like, yo, what the happened? Like they

668
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 2: started kicking our ass.

669
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: They were who you look forward to singing every week

670
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 5: and next thing you know.

671
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: You're amazing.

672
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, they just pick up the kindred the family.

673
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: So they're amazing. So we were. And they went to

674
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: Hidden Beach.

675
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: They did they.

676
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 3: Forgot.

677
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, so what happened with Hitten Beach from your perspective,

678
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 4: because just from a consumer side, they had you and

679
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 4: like we were like, yes, Jill, like that was it

680
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 4: was all Jojo Jail.

681
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: Then they did the it was Brenda Russell they did.

682
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 4: That, they did, Yeah, it was a Paris range and

683
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 4: then unroped Value one through eight.

684
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, like, what was your experience with them?

685
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 4: How that relationship I guess kind of deteriorated on your side,

686
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 4: it did.

687
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: I thought that they had some really good artists on

688
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: their Hidden Kendred being one of them. They you know,

689
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: that's Kendred, and they're so talented and the songwriting is

690
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: so good and their stage performance is so amazing. You

691
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: need to put more money into Kendred. But I didn't

692
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: have a say in what Hidden Beach did because they're

693
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: the label. I'm not the label, and I didn't like that.

694
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: I didn't like that, and that didn't feel good to

695
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: me that I couldn't be of service in that way.

696
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: You know. I watched them sign a lot of artists

697
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, what are you doing? What are

698
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: you doing? And I thought I thought that we had

699
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: a friendship. I thought that we had this this family

700
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: thing that was happening. So when I realized it was

701
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: just business, you know, I was really disappointed. And then

702
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: President Obama was I was working on being in office

703
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: and everything was about the election, and they weren't being supportive,

704
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: and I didn't feel like they were helping me at all.

705
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: With radio. I didn't realize until later on how much

706
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: everything that occurred had to do with my effort. So,

707
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm coming up with the album, I'm working

708
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: out the images, I'm you know, handing out flyers, I'm

709
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, I did a lot coming up with every idea.

710
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: I designed the videos. The first, you know, three videos,

711
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm dism what I do. I'm tired.

712
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: Can somebody else, you know, like I can't do it all?

713
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: And then you know, go to these I had pneumonia

714
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: I think like three times in two years because I

715
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: toured that first two year years without balance. That's one

716
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: of the things with young artists. I'm like, yes, absolutely,

717
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: go out there and do the hustle, but you have

718
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: to have a balance or you will lose your mind

719
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: and you will lose your health. And the goal is longevity.

720
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: It's Frankie Beverly, that Middler longevity out here, and that's

721
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: what I ready, that's what I'm saying, that's what I want,

722
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 1: That's what I want. And I thought I was killing

723
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: myself trying to, you know, make it work for the label.

724
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, ah, so I left, and you know,

725
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: I think the last number was like they tried to

00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: see me for like nineteen million?

727
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 2: What under on what grounds that I left?

728
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: That I was leaving? And I had a couple of

729
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:52,680

Speaker 4: And ship, yea, yeah, like what was I mean that

Speaker 4: behind it? The albums that they put out, the Hidden

739
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 4: Beach records that they put out.

740
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: It certainly didn't feel good to me. And it wasn't

741
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: like I had any thing to say, you know, I

742
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,160

Speaker 2: But I love that song. I love that song.

766
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 4: Man. I think that the way you plan your verses is,

767
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 4: first off, you gotta think of what the other artist's

768
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 4: biggest songs are and think count that way what you're

769
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 4: gonna counter it with. Yeah, that's how you Okay, So y'all,

770
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 4: if you already know her Haymakers, if you already know

771
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 4: her Haymakers, then you know then what is what I

772
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 4: can do? And you got to think of your songs

773
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 4: that you can use to Haymaker to get her to

774
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 4: drop some bullshit.

775
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 2: You know.

776
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: But you got to understand that I'm thinking about the

777
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: my audience, like my the people that come to my shows,

778
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: like they they know ship, they know shit and can't

779
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: wait for that moment.

780
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 4: But you but this though, I say, you can't think

781
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 4: about your audience. You kind of gotta almost think of

782
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 4: the demographic that's gonna be on I g Live and

783
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 4: it may or may not be the same people. So

784
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 4: it's like you gotta think about it from the standpoint

785
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 4: of like all right, because I was talking about this

786
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 4: on Twitter the other day, it's like who picking a winner?

787
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: And I put that in very loose quotation marks because

788
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 4: I mean, we love both of y'all, and so there's.

Speaker 4: I mean this is a celebration, you know what I'm saying.

792
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: It's for the culture word.

00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know what.

794
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: I love the way the Riza and DJ Premier did theirs.

795
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 6: I think that's my favorite one, being Teddy Riley at jail.

796
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 6: Right now, it's all about me, And so what I

797
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 6: want to say to Jill because I don't know if

798
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 6: she's aware. But you do know that Erica is up

Speaker 5: She's performing in bubbles and ship like that.

802
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,399

Speaker 5: Jill's my sister, but I love both of the music. Whatever.

807
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 6: What I'm saying is that I just want her to

808
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 6: understand who she's playing against, because I don't know if

809

814
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,040

822
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 2: That's what makes it work, like, that's the draw. The

823
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 2: draw is.

824
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 4: We're looking at celebrities and people who have done all

825
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 4: these great things. They're stuck inside their homes and this

826
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 4: is entertainment for us just as it is for them.

827
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm not fucking famous. I'm just I'm regular.

828

830
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 4: So the thing is you can take it to your car,

831
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 4: like you can play records in your car if you

832
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 4: want to. Anything that makes it look more intimate and

833
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 4: makes it feel more like the audience.

834
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: Is like us.

835
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,200

00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 2: So it in your kitchen, and.

837
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 4: That ship is gonna be like, Nigga, why are you

838
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 4: in the bubble on the mountaintop?

839
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: I have.

840
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 3: I have another thing that add to it, sensing you

841
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 3: might need a quasi haymaker that isn't below the belt,

842
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 3: I would actually have.

843
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 2: This is bad. I say.

844
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 3: That when she hits you, I think, when she hits you,

845
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 3: she has three haymakers.

846
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 2: Tyrone's one of them. I feel like one is one

847
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: of them. On the other side of the game.

848
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,959
Speaker 4: Now, okay, I would say, I don't think the other side.

849
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 4: I think the other side is one I would say

850
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 4: more so next lifetime like that.

851
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 3: So my thing is when she hits with Tyrone, whatever

852
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 3: you play next, I wish you had a TV track

853
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 3: version of it, and you say it live here.

00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 5: Just start saying things with your voice outside of adding

862
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 5: technical things. Because yeah, but you will, Jill, that's a

863

Speaker 2: Oh God? Really so that.

930
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, here's the breakdown, and you can just

931
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 4: use this information however you want. This is the thing

932
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 4: with between like with Erica and Jail Battle. So like

933
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 4: Erica is more so like your your career, Jill, you've

934
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 4: kind of leaned more into like the adult like contemporary

935
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 4: what would be like urban ac kind of lane Erica's

936
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 4: records over the last couple of years, her last few records,

937
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 4: she's kind of going deeper, more just in the hip

938
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 4: hop and kind of being I think a little more experimental.

939
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 4: But the thing with that is it just kind of

940
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 4: depends on demographics. So to the contingent of people that

941
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 4: I refer to as the Ascot Battalion Acas. The last

942
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 4: two albums, Yeah, the rolland Mard like them, the Boulet Niggas,

943
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 4: Erica's last two records didn't really connect with them.

944
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 2: They don't know like.

945
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 4: New America, them niggas lost video they know just but

946
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 4: that's it.

947
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 2: But that's it.

948
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: There of people in the world. There's a lot of

949
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: people listening period. You don't know who's WHATSS.

950
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 4: But for versus, that's the thing, right, it's the it's

951
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 4: one thing if we're fighting.

952
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, I say, Jill Niggas sorry and Bill even Steve

953
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 6: doesn't make an attempt.

954
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 3: So anyway, that's our unsolicited advice.

955
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: Yea, we will give it. Erica the same advice, just

956
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 2: to be equal.

957
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you like your catalog you got, I think

958
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 4: you have more in the tank than she is. And

959
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 4: if you can get her to play her big cards early,

960
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 4: I think you're just gonna win just off being able

961
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 4: to go the distance alone.

962
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 2: I think Erica would.

963
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 3: Actually try to play her eccentric cards. I don't think

964
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 3: she'll play the obvious cards. I bet you on and

965
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 3: on won't even come until.

966
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 4: Like Layton Layton, Yeah, that would be smart. I mean,

00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 4: you know, but but then, but what she gonna play

968

00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: that movie actually is. I'm just the one I wish

1098
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 1: I could do over. I wish I could do that

1099
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: one over.

1100
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 2: Really.

1101
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I learned after what I should have done, and

1102
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed by that.

1103
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 2: What do you think you did wrong?

1104
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: I should have punched him in his mouth. I should

1105
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: have fought him. I should have fast him.

1106
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 5: Is that what she did?

1107
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? Damn I went with I went with what was

1108
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: written and instead I should have I should have fought him.

1109
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: And I'm disappointed, Like, I really wish I could go

1110
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: back to do that over. So I learned again about

1111
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: homework and how important it is to do the homework.

1112
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, so even if nobody else understands it, well,

1113
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: you want everybody to understand it, but you have to

1114
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: be be that guy. If that's the generals, be that guy.

1115
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I was that guy as much as

1116
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: I would want to be. So that's the only role

1117
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: I've had started like disappoints me.

1118
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 4: Did you think that not hitting him? Do you think

1119
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 4: that made the character look weaker?

1120
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 2: Or like? What was your reason behind it?

1121
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: I thought that she was so in love with him.

1122
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: In fact, Dedie Brown is still in love with James

1123
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: Brown today. She was so overwhelmingly in love with him that,

1124
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, that's the part that I highlighted. She was

1125
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: just almost obsessed with him. But she did have some

1126
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: spunk and some fighting her And I wish he had

1127
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: punched him in the mouth. I wish I had allowed her,

1128
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, in the film the punishment mouth. He deserved

1129
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: it and it would have represented her a little better

1130
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: than than what I did.

1131
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 3: So so you talked and interviewed with her and got

1132
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 3: to know her as to develop.

1133
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, beforehand and.

1134
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Encouragement of the director and the.

1135
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: Production that was that was on my own. I there

1136
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: was a young man working on set. I can't remember

1137
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 1: what he did, but he told me that that was

1138
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: his grandmother, and I was like, you gotta you gotta

1139
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: get me in touch with your grandma, you know, because

1140
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: they were on the newlywat game together, so I got

1141
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: a chance to see her ways, but I didn't get

1142
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: a chance to It's on it's online, it's on YouTube.

1143
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, they.

1144
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 2: Used to the seventies.

1145
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: They were real cute. They're real cute. They absolutely enjoyed

1146
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: each other. But they thought. They definitely thought. And he

1147
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: was whooping ass and I get I got it, like

1148
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: I got it. You could. I could see how someone

1149
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: could totally totally be like in love with this guy

1150
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: and enjoyably suppressed. He's powerful. He's powerful man. That ain't

1151
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: for me to back bush in your sleep.

1152
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 3: Any for you? Any thoughts of writing your memoir?

1153
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: I think about it often. I think people would be

1154
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: completely surprised of how I got here and how I

1155
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: am able to stay here. Yeah, I think about it often.

1156
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot good.

1157
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 3: Do you feel like the journey is still happening for

1158
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 3: you to even start writing your memoir?

1159
01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 7: If I just wrote the first fifteen years, if I

1160
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 7: remember being in the womb, If I could write I

1161
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 7: remember being in the womb, if I wrote the first

1162
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 7: fifteen years of this existence, it would be crazy.

1163
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: People would not believe any of it. It's half mythology

1164
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: and folklore with these brilliant sprinkles of simple It's crazy.

1165
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 1: My existence has been.

1166
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 2: You gotta do. You have to do it like James Taylor.

1167
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 3: James Taylor worked backwards, so he just released his life

1168
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 3: between birth and twenty one, like maybe two months ago,

1169
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 3: but you know, started with the end of his life.

1170
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 3: Once he like rehabbed himself and got his life together.

1171
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 3: Then the project before is like the hell he went

1172
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 3: through as James Taylor, and then the real hell he

1173
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 3: went through from childhood to twenty one that got him

1174
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 3: to be a heroin Addict and all that stuff. Like

1175
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 3: him telling the story backwards almost is cinematically maybe telling

1176
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 3: your story backwards in that way.

1177
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: From zero to twenty one or I.

1178
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 3: Mean, I am to the fragments because I think people

1179
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 3: feel like the need to release their entire life story

1180
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 3: in one.

1181
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: I could do it. I could do it like maun Jelo.

1182
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 2: Okay pieces pieces.

1183
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: I think some pieces at the time. It's funny we're

1184
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: having that conversation where we try to get like somebody's

1185
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: whole life story on like an hour and.

1202
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: it's been so long. I know one was Keisha ship.

1203
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: I feel bad. The A Group they were singers that

Speaker 1: lives and here we are these years.

1224
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 5: That's what I was inferring, but.

1225
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: Changes lives, that's what us. Look, that's what the roots do.
