Speaker 1: Ghost and I was ready. It really depends on the day.

48
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,760

Speaker 1: that Rain, that's she's Ray, I'm Ghost, I'm go, She's Ray.

54
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Who's ever the loudest at the time, it was usually her,

55
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: It's Ray, And whoever is like the cooler one, which

56
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: is usually me, it's Ghosts And that's the vibe. Yeah,

57
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: and that would do show. You know. It was just

58
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,800

Speaker 1: put on when you need to just get your thing. Ghost. Notice.

60
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,960

61
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: And for one of my birthdays, he had Ray come

62
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,000

Speaker 1: love Ray and Ghost and woo and and so he

64
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: ended up coming, and so I was able to kind

65
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: of explain to him some of that so he might

66
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: know it. Okay, you know, did you make your purple tape?

86
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: she got over here. I didn't even bear witness to

87
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: the whole show. I was ice so focused on making

88
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,000

00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,880

190
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: Princess here right and everything he turned purple purple. It

191
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,199

192
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: that Princess at your show, because yeah, you don't want

193
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: to be performing when Prince is at your show. And

194
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: then Prince called you later and be like you didn't

195
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: hit the high note like he's the voice like that,

196
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he's wrong. He will he'd like, your sound

197
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: was sucked up this show, and I'd be like, he

198
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: never told you that you sound. Your sound wasn't right.

199
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: Your sound was sucked up. And I was like, so

200
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: you think it was? But he he tried to work

201
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: through with it. He was like, I think I think

202
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: it's a little bit between the speakers that have happened.

203
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: It's a little bit between how the mixer's treating it.

204
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: And he would actually like big brother Vicus, properly tell

205
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: me some truthful ship. But you really won't get from

206
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: most people, you know what I mean. So he's amazing.

207
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people said that he was like an

208
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: artist artist, like like pro artist everything. Okay, But about

209
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: Michael Michael, I only met him one time. What's Bubbles

224
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: of just like dreaming and everything. And I remember he

226
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,800

227
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: big gass plaque that had like four hundred thousand times

228
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: platinum was on the floor. It was like on the

229
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: floor in the corner. So it was. It was so good.

230
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: He was just so full of love and he was

231
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,160

235
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: when you call my name? Because I sound like like

00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: a little Michael vibe. There was just one song on

237
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:39,000

Speaker 1: like three records and that's good. The ain't trust me,

242
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. Let me just tell you something.

243
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: This is probably the most important. I felt as doing

244
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: an interview when they sent me the album early, because

245
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, we're really not journalists, but we're journalists, right.

246
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: We have to take that that that meaning. But no

247
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: one's ever done that for us. No one's ever sent

248
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: us the album offered. No one of them offered it.

249
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: No one like you guys are really perfumptional because thank

250
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: you for he like the taking clan. It's like fifty

251
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: five of them right now. They just came out, everyone

252
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: masked professional who No one said nothing, just walked through.

253
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Everything was focused. I like it. This is not rapping,

254
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: not rapists all over the place. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this

255
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: is not. So do you consider yourself a soul artist

256
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: because you're more than just R and B. I love

257
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: that question definitely. I mean I feel I feel like

258
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: i'm genre list. I don't feel like I'm undefined. Well,

259
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't get defined what I do. But but if

260
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: there was ever a definition, I think it's so artist.

261
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: It's perfect because I think who was So? I think

262
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Nirvana is soul. I feel like, you know, soul is

263
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: just something that hits you and moves you and you

264
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,239
Speaker 1: feel it in a way that you know you can't describe.

265
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: So I like that. I'm gonna go for that. But

266
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: everything you do is still very hip hop no matter

267
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: what you do. Yeah, you mean it's just in me.

268
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: It's in me. Hip Hop is soul. Hip hop is soul.

269
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean like it's in me. New York born and raised.

270
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: You can't get it out of me, No, don't try.

271
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: I've seen two during One say that you're from Harlem,

00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: album is called Keys, right, and and it's the double album,

305
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: and it has two sides. The first is called Originals

306
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: and the other one is called a Lot. So Originals

307
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: is like that classic a K piano songwriter. Those vibes

308
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: was one you could sing at the type of your LANs.

309
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: And then Unlocked, which is the other side, is the

310
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: one me and Mike Will connected and we sampled the

311
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: originals and made a whole another record out of dolts.

312
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's sick. So only You was one of

313
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: my favorite songs. But I'm trying to figure out if

314
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: you got both sides, because you just got you. I

315
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: got Scott got best at me I got La La,

316
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: I got nack King Cole, is it insane? Come from

317
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: me with khalil? Which was I forgot? How good khalil is?

318
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: You reminded me it's old memories love when you called

319
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: my name daffa dolls when daffodil you do think, I

320
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to google that. That's when

321
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: they ask you that you'll be like diagnosing yourself on Google.

322
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: I'll be messing up when I Google. I'll be getting

323
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: confused and just give up. A lot of daffodils are

324
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Actually the firstest I just learned is recently it's the

325
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: first flower that booms after the winter. And so the

326
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: life is that you know you you you can come

327
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: back after a dark time, you know what I mean.

328
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: So that's what Dapford deals is. And it is a flower. Okay,

329
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: it is a flowers, y'all. I was you know you

330
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: got this? Yeah? Yeah, So I'm bouncing all over the place.

331
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: But one of my favorite joints is when you sample

332
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: O D B. That is my sample Brooklyn Zoo and

333
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: it was for girl girlfriend, yes exactly. So what made

334
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: you go into that zone and you actually like song?

335
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean? Like, what made you

336
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: just say you know what? Because that's like, you know,

337
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: it's so hard to recreate a classic record that's already classic,

338
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: and then so many people are going to judge it

339
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: because they're gonna say, well, it's not as good as

340
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Zoo or this is good. What makes you take

341
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: on that task? I just had no idea at the time.

342
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: I didn't even know. I didn't even know people was

343
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna give a funk or not to be honest, because

344
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: it was my very first record, Like I said, I

345
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: love you very much so that that piano was so dirty,

346
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: but it was the piano that I'm so heavy and

347
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: so hard, and for me, it just was ill as

348
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: a as a singer to be able to end who

349
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: play the piano, who take to take those two and

350
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: create a song around it. To me, that was just

351
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: like some brilliant ship. So the last thing I was

352
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: thinking about was was whether I was messing up with

353
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: a classic or anything. I just didn't even know how

354
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: that went yet. You know, it's like at a certain point,

355
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: you don't even have any limitations. There's nothing inside your

356
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: head that's telling you can't do it. You're just gonna try.

357
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, you just tried, and I was like, whatever,

358
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna tell me that's a classic. But how did

359
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: that get in your head? Because I hate it now,

360
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: Like when people do my record sover, I'll be like,

361
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: I'll be like, people will be sending me record. So

362
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: they were like, look, I think your record over Like

363
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: I didn't get men MC. It's gonna be different, as

364
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: different as an MC to tackle another MC's records. What

365
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying, well, but did that's even that's even more hard.

366
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: There might be more creative liberty if you're singing over

367
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: the joint, Yeah I would. I wouldn't mind someone singing

368
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: over my joint as opposed to rapping and trying to wrap.

369
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: That's yeah, I think I think that's what it is.

370
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: It's easier for that. It's just different. So okay, but

371
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: we spoke on Empire State earlier, but we spoke about

372
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: the incidental performance. How is this record even put together?

373
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: Jay calls you and he goes, I got to pi

374
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: in tell us just like that. I don't know why

375
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: I keep caging these words. I'm doing all with job

376
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: by the way, but honestly kind of sounding like, so

377
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: does he have the record? Do you have the record?

378
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: Are y'all and Sony? What's going on? In this particular case,

379
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: he had the record. He um, he was reaching out

380
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: for me to do the record for a minute, and

381
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: he was going through you know, he was being respectful,

382
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: going through the proper channels at the time, and for

383
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: whatever reason, the people that represent me at the time

384
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: did not tell me about the record. I don't know why.

385
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what if maybe they felt another thing

386
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: or I don't I really don't know. So finally he

387
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: called me and he was like, man, I've been trying

388
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: to get you this record, this record, this special, this

389
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: is it's called Empire State of Mind. I want you

390
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: to hear it. It's about New York and obviously nobody

391
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: can do it, but you know you were married, Like

392
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: there's the only two that could do it. I need yeah, yeah, yeah,

393
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: that's true. It wouldn't make sense, right, yeah, right exactly.

394
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: So um So, anyway, I was like, I couldn't believe

395
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: that it didn't get to me, and it definitely created

396
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: a whole new thing for me to make sure that

397
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: I was like in front of my ship because so

398
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: many people, you know, you trust them to handle your

399
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: stuff and do do you do their thing for you

400
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: and you don't know what's coming back to it was

401
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: not coming back to you. And sometimes that's crazy because

402
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: could you imagine that empire never got to me when

403
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: you heard the record? Did you know this was immediately

404
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: a monster? Or you was like because you know what

405
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: it is? Sometimes when we make regional records, and although

406
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: New York is is a big market, I'm sure when um,

407
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: people you know from gare making a I Love New

408
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: York record and a lot of people get critiqued of

409
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: us because they you know, they say that we're cocky.

410
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: New York is where cocky? So was there any time

411
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: when you thought like damn, because it is a regional record,

412
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: although it's a global record, but it's regional because if

413
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: you're really not from New York, you're not gonna have

414
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: that little mama spirit to jump on the stage. You

415
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: understand I'm saying she was correct because she felt the spirit.

416
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, That's exactly what you wanted.

417
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: It's just not on the stage at that stage. But

418
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But that's what I'm saying.

419
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: When you first heard it, did you know that immediately

420
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: that this is gonna because I believe they change Frank

421
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: Sinatra record. They took it out, and this is the

422
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: new New York City. And did you know that when

423
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: you heard it? I don't think I knew all that.

424
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know all that. I definitely felt it. You

425
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: could feel it. You could feel it had a spirit.

426
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: You could feel the way the chord has changed. You

427
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: could feel that that the beginning of that chorus was

428
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: already kind of in the space. You can start to

429
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: feel what it what it felt like. So I already

430
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: I only operate from an emotional space. I don't really

431
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: know how to go from a place where I'm like,

432
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: this is a smash just I don't I don't work

433
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: like that. I just don't even know how to think

434
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: like that. So it was emotional for me, and I

435
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: felt it. It's my city. I loved it, and I

436
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: just felt attracted to it, so so I went forward.

437
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: I actually had to record it a couple of times.

438
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: The first time I recorded it in l a and

439
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: the ship just didn't work. I thought it worked, I

440
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: thought it sounded good, but he called me. He was like, um,

441
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna be able to do them vocals

442
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: again and I was like, what I put my vocus

443
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: my vocus a fresh? Yeah, I don't don't. I don't

444
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: know if I want to call you. I'm pretty sure

445
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: he didn't really want to go on. But to be

446
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: honest and to be fair, I was sick, and you know,

447
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: I was trying to turn the record around for him.

448
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: He asked me for it by a certain time. So

449
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: I was sick and I went in and I did it,

450
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: and you could he when he called me, I was like,

451
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: I was mad, and I was like, what you mean?

452
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: But then I agreed. I agreed, and he's like another thing.

453
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: You know how the record joys be like, oh yeah,

454
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: could you do that? Could you do that on there?

455
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: So he has requests. So I went back in. I

456
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: did it in New York. I was feeling better than right.

457
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: You can't do a New York record in l A.

458
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: That's just like, yeah, that's kind of crazy. This is

459
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: like you can't be at Circle House. And my Ami

460
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: even corded, no, you can't. I don't necord. So yeah,

461
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: now that was so that was the vibe and then

462
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: I flipped it did it again, and it was it

463
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: was what it was. It is what it is right now.

464
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: So but now that it is literally the not only

465
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: New York record. But I'll never forget the biggest moment

466
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: for me was I was in Paris and it was

467
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: the first time I was performing the record. Is the

468
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: first time that I performed the record by myself. And

469
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: if you remember, I did a version of the record

470
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: that was just me on piano because I was like,

471
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to do this jay thing

472
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: every time, Like I'm never gonna be able to perform it,

473
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: and so I did a broken down version of it.

474
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: And that's actually when we talked about ease, and we

475
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: talked about original and unlock. We would call the broken

476
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: down version of Empire my original, and we would call

477
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: the original version of Empire my unlocked version. That's kind

478
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: of the concept of what unlocked and keys come from.

479
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: And so anyway, when I when I did when I

480
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: did my version, I was in Paris and I was

481
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: about to perform, and I was like, I didn't know

482
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: how it was gonna go over. I'm like, first of all,

483
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: they speak another language, are they even gonna understand me?

484
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: And then I'm like New York, New York, and we're

485
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: in Paris. I'm like, I don't know what's gonna happen.

486
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: All I know I went out the entire audience top

487
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: of their loan every word, and I just that was

488
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: one of them records that came out and I knew

489
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: that all the words the same day, like I knew,

490
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: like I was, like I mean, because it was a problem,

491
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: Like I felt a little Mama spirit. Like I'm not

492
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: saying that like being funny. I'm actually like I was,

493
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: like I did too, Like I was like I wanted

494
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: I did in my mind, like I told you I

495
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: did in my mind. It's just one of those like

496
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: in fact every Winner. It's like my tradition. I go

497
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: back to New York, where I'm from, and I have

498
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: to hear that record. I have to hear that record

Speaker 1: going down stret Like I cannot complete my winter without

500
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: riding down thirty four Street. For some reason, I'm pretty

501
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: much and when I'm in New York, I'm pretty much incognige.

502
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: Rob try the truck. I'm probably in the truck. Yeah,

503
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,800

512
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: I was making records, they would keep me in the

513
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: summer because it's easier to push the artist in the summer.

514

529
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, I happen to be aware of that, of course,

530
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, man, that's a big deal now. But honestly,

531
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's kind of wild and I putting

532
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: out putting out sounds that I'm a minor. That was

533
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: my first record in the summer. Man, it's something that

534
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: feels so good about the summer record. You got, the festivals,

535
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: you got, the parades, you got I remember being in

536
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: the Puerto Rican Day parade. You can go. You have

537
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: some claiming on time. My godmother, it's for the weekend.

538
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: So we rode him with that. That's just that's that's

539
00:30:52,200 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: all right. We got Leicia. Yeah, but you and I

540
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: loved it. There was something so good about the summer.

541
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: You could go. You know, there's a different energy in

542
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: the winter. You like trying to figure out where you're

543
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: gonna performing out freeze, it's just different. Everybody's kind of

544
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: rushing to be home. It's it's a different vibe. I

545
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: feel like the summer. So my point is, even though

546
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: maybe you wanted to be off in the fourth court,

547
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: I think the summer was like right, yeah, but you

548
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: was a short shot. I don't mind moving on. What

549
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: was your first acting movie, because like, you have so

550
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: much movies to like Holy Molimo. Yeah, so like and

551
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: they said you were signed at twelve. You was making

552
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: music at twelve, and I had a record at fifteen.

553
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: My first record deal was I guess it was right

554
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: out of right out of high school. Graduated high school early,

555
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: so I was about fifth. I was about sixteen. I

556
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: had a record deal, and I did I had a

557
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: record deal. I was. I was signed to Columbia Records,

558
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: and I was accepted to Columbia University. And I just

559
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: knew that was some ship. I was like, Columbia Record, Colby,

560
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: it's me. Somebody knew in me something you so in

561
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: my total when you was in Columbia at the time,

562
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: it was Donnie. I know, don I think Tommy had

563
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: already maybe not, something had transitioned with with Tommy was

564
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: going through it. You know. At the time, I ain't

565
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: know about that ship. I was like no, no, no,

566
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, and then you got to work with Clive

567
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: Davis and then Columbia fucked it up, and and I

568
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: know that I know they're killing themselves to this day

569
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: because they did it with me, and they did it

570
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: with Aretha Franklin. F y damn. I'm sorry. I didn't

571
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: know what they did to Areta. What did they do

572
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: to her? They didn't know what to do with her.

573
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: They didn't know how to Like she didn't start having

574
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: her She's had her records that didn't really blow on

575
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: Columbia and then she you know, she went on and

576
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: then she started getting those big records. So so they

577
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: just didn't really know what to do with the real

578
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: artists and with an artist that was different. You know,

579
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: they so many of these places they just marketing and

580
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: they just commercialism, and they just don't know how to

581
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: think of nothing new. It was a blessing for them,

582
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: Like it was definitely. Did you see the can versus Auntie?

583
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: Got a little heard her? Auntie was right there. She

584
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: was drinking car. Yeah, I got I think it was.

585
00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: I thought they called the Soroka Con. There was so

586
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: but she is a legend and the genius and her

587
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: parents with Stephanie Mills, was like one of the most

588
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: incredible parentings ever. And what I loved from seeing the playbacks,

589
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: I love the sisterhood, like you could see how you

590
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: know certain certain times, and I think sometimes artists don't

591
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: don't necessarily connect so so powerfully, although you do meet

592
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: people that you do connect with, but it's so separate.

593
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: But them, like you could see her like she was

594
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: there for her, you know, she was she was not

595
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna leave her. She was gonna be with her the

596
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: whole time. She was gonna like make it the energy beautiful.

597
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: And I just thought that that sisterhood was really really

598
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: really beautiful. And you know what, that's a big show.

599
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: Like people you get nervous, you know what I mean,

600
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: and you definitely might need to try to feel like

601
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: you calm down, But that doesn't take away from her

602
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: legendary status. She's so crazy. I see. I was so

603
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: scared to get up and say hi to him right

604
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: because she's gonna she is gonna cut in l A A.

605
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: I'll forgot who I was what I was like, can

606

00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: top of my loans. Dude on the corner called me,

686
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,400

Speaker 1: The Diary of Alicia Keys. I had just moved to Jersey.

690
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: I thought I was thought I was big time, I

691
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: thought I could get me a little spot. I just

692
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: wanted a little spot of like a little house, like

693
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: a little thing. All of a sudden everything kind of

694
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: turned around. I didn't really have that much money that

695
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: I thought I couldn't make the rent anymore for the

696
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: spot that I was renting. And I got and I

697
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: was stressed out, but I knew that it was gonna

698
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: work out. And I promised I would never live in

699
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: Jersey ever again, because I was never gonna pay to

700
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: get anywhere. Don't charge me to leave or come back again.

701
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: And I never saw went okay, So I went somewhere

702
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: I could get a free bridge, and I ended up

703
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: in Queens Queen, Okay, Jersey. Do you remember the first time? Honestly,

704
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: it was such a blur. It was like such a

705
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: bad time. I just didn't even remember. You was at

706
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: in Queen's Rosedale, Rosdale. O, my first house, Queen's Rose

707
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,280

00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: that don't add up? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

711
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: So let me finish to finished on the albums Okay,

712
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah you took me there. I was lost as I

713
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: am as I am. I had a major breakdown. I

714
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: didn't know how to handle all the things. I felt

715
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: like I was supposed to handle everything and I was

716
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be perfect. I didn't know how to do it.

717
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to be it, and I felt

718
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: like I was sinking and I had to leave. I

719
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: just like I couldn't take it anymore. And so I left.

720
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: And it's the first time that I went on like

721
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: a trip from ey Ey. That's when I went to Egypt.

722
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: I actually went to Egypt and Italy. You know, I'm

723
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: half black and half Italian, so I didn't even realize

724
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: when I picked those two there was like a home

725
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: coming in a way, like a you know, like a

726
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: like you know, like a trip for me that was

727
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: going to mean something. And so when I came back

728
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: from that, I started changing everything. I started. I had

729
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of fake friends. I had people that I

730
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: just they weren't fake, but they just they just wanted

731
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: what they wanted and it wasn't in line. And I

732
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: had to kind of babysit everybody, and I just cut

733
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: off all the excess energy, and I remember, I just decided,

734
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: like I can create what I want to create. I

735
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: don't have to I don't have to do anything that

736
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: don't feel right for me. And it was the first

737
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: time that I really like expressed my own individuality and

738
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: I and I and I made major changes and it

739
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: changed everything's fire, business managers, lawyers, all these fake as

740
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: people steal from you. And it was finished. It was

741
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: a big, big shift that record, which is why I

742
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: sound like that okay, the Element of Freedom, which is

743
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: kind of ironic because you kind of like describing that

744
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: like leaving that album, so it makes sense that you

745
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: went to the element of freedom. But I want you

746
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 1: to say, to your word, the element of freedom. Yeah,

747
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: I know when I think about it, I felt so

748
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: empowered naming the album element of Freedom. It wasn't until

749
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: I looked back on it that I realized, what an

750
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: element don't make no damn sense. This is a tiny

751
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: little bit, like an element is a tiny bit of freedom.

752
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: Him Here I was thinking, I was like having all

753
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: this freedom, but the words I was choosing was small,

754
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: and so that's kind of at the time. I had

755
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: to break out of thinking small. I had to break out.

756
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: Although Element is where Empire was, Element is where I

757
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: try seeking with a broken heart was. Element was like

758
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,799

00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: crazy over Element of Freedom, and um, it was like my.

760
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 1: It was like my. It was like my coming out

761
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: of my beginning, of coming out of anything that I

762
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 1: had maybe held onto before and like leaving it behind.

763
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: But I needed I still needed a lot. I still

764
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: needed a lot of transition. You know, he's gonna get

765
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: so deep drink Yeah yeah, yeah, So that brings me

768
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: little bit nervous that you're calling this album girl on fire.

769
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: I was like, why I'm a girl on fire? And

770
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even get what they were talking about. They

771
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: were kind of saying, like I guess they were saying,

772
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: if you call, if you say a girl on fire,

773
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: but if it don't end up being that hot, what's

774
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: gonna happen to you? Oh? I thought they was talking

775
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: about like the Richard Prior type of fire. I didn't

776
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: know why didn't mean it like that. Yeah, I just

777
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: want that said, I thought you said. I thought you said,

778
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: you said, that's why people like you. Oh though I

779
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: did throw my brother like his I got a younger

780
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: brother and I threw him like his eighteen birthday and

781
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: and it was fresh. And we went to the um

782
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: the gold car spot, you know, the racing spot. We

783
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: were in the racist s and I surprised my brother,

784
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: like his friends from or wherever the family was there.

785
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: We rented it. How I felt like I was doing

786
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: it big. It was crazy. He was so happy, he

787
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: was so excited. We were in the back of cheers, brother,

788
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: I love you, boom and I went back like this

789
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: and there was a candle behind my hair and then

790
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: my ladies know when you put like the hair, spraying

791
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: all this stuff in. So you was a girl. And

792
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: all I know is that God Swizzy was with me.

793
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: He was like bab bab bab baby, and it was

794
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: on fire. So that was during that album. And to

795
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: your point you wrote that I should, oh my gosh,

796
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: the girl on fire was on fire. I had my

797
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: first baby. I got rid of a bunch of negative

798
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: motherfucker's that needed to be out of my life. It

799
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: was about removing a toxic bullshit. And I was on

800
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: fire for real. There was you know, I felt myself

801
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, I had a space for myself,

802
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: and nobody could tell me some ship that wasn't right

803
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: because I knew for myself. You just said that title

804
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: was hard, but but this title is harder to me

805
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: here because it's just like to me, that's being cocky

806
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: without being cocky, because because you're saying here and most

807
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: people say I'm here forever. So I think camp with

808
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: those words in your mouth, what were you saying by saying,

809
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: I remember I was gonna name here king in New York. Okay,

810
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,399
Speaker 1: I wanted I've said I'm the King of New York.

811
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: I respect that. I ain't gonna say. I deserve to

812
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: be considered the king, not the queen, not the princess,

813
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: the King of New York. I want to. So I

814
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: started to kind of bring some of the other kings

815
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: in New York, and I was, you know, building with

816
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: nas accuted jay and and I was just like, you know,

817
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: how do you feel about this? I want to call

818
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: it King of New York. People have such an adverse

819
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: reaction to it. It was so interesting how that rubbed

820
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: people in a certain way. The other kings of New

821
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: York though, and they didn't. I don't feel they It

822
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: was more like they were kind of considering it for me,

823
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: you know, like as a brother, like to their sister.

824
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: More like that, not like they was hating they was,

825
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: you know. Um anyway, So I decided to call it

826
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: here because I realized that that was even more powerful

827
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: to what I was feeling at the time. And that record,

828
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: to me, is one of my most undiscovered jewels. To me,

829
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: that record is my Purple Rain. Like that one is

830
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: one of my most special important records, and it was

831
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: a big transition for me. It's my love letter to

832
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: New York. You really hear it. You hear it in

833
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: every skit. My our brother Pick was on that record

834
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: before he passed. There is a whole energy that's in

835
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: there that's so real and um. And so I decided

836
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: to call it here because not because I'm here, but

837
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: because I'm present, Like I'm here and I'm experiencing myself

838
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: in this moment and I'm being honest with everything that

839
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm going through and feeling, and so I'm here and

840
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: that and that's the way I looked at it, And

841
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: so I love that record. That's one of my favorite

842
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: that's like one of my favorite records, my baby. So

843
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: then you self titled the album Alicia Alicia? What made

844
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: you do that? Alicia came because I realized that I

845
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: started to really know who I was and who I am,

846
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: and Alicia is a very complicated individual. We're all complicated individuals.

847
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: We all got all these different sizes of us. And

848
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: I remember I was having a conversation with my husband

849
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know, I haven't tell anybody

850
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: with Italian And I was like, what, why don't you

851
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: tell anybody that you're Italian? And I was like, people

852
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: know what I'm Italian? Were you talking about? He was like,

853
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: I asked anybody, but you don't know your Talian? And

854
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: I was like, huh, what is the point? He's like,

855
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: I just feel like you like not fully sharing everything,

856
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: that there's so many ill parts to you and you

857
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: don't share all of it. And that was the first

858
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: time that I really thought, well, maybe there is stuff

859
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: that I'm holding back that I didn't realize. And so

860
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: Alicia was really about uncovering, like who is Alicia? On

861
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: multiple levels? Who are we all on multiple levels? Like

862
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 1: we feel like we have to beat this one side

863
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: or this one type or it's one version, or this

864
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: person makes you happy, someone be like that, and this

865
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: person makes my girls happy. Someone be like that. But like,

866
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: who are you? And that to me, that's like that

867
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: was mine. Yeah, that was my steak in the ground,

868
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: like this is who I am? And then the last

869
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: one key and it's a double album. I've never got

870
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: that much thought process. It cut off after d I'm

871
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: fucked up, so Keys. It is really about, like, listen,

872
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: there's two sides of me. There's two sides of all

873
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: of this. There's many sides of all of us. I got.

874
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: I have my original me, I have the one that

875
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: you might expect me to be on behind the keys.

876
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: I got the music, I got the soulfulness, and I

877
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: also have a whole other side of me that you

878
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: probably not expect. And I want to blow your mind

879

1056
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: when the camera, we got it up in the camera.

1057
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: Tell me who quick time? It was just it. You

1058
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: want to bro they deserved they did it in they

1059
01:06:55,920 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: were about dot X them all owed them like this.

1060
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: We called Lamar after the show. He was throwing up

1061
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: so much that we didn't even use it. But he

1062
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: did talk on the show. No, he finished the show.

1063
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: He could believe it was such a g he threw

1064
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 1: up and then continued the interview. Now, I do think

1065
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: that you want to missing some buckets like yeah, yeah,

1066
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: we know, but I really, I really just I want

1067
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 1: to let you know, like Swiss is my brother, Like

1068
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: me and Swiss, I've been down with Sin. I was

1069
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 1: the first record outside of Rough Riders, you know that

1070
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: that he worked with. It was, you know, because all

1071
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: of his first early music was just with Rough Riders.

1072
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: And I was down with Swiss so long that they

1073
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: used to call Swiss Dee's nephews, like he technology didn't

1074
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 1: even have a name, and um, like that's how you

1075
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: knew him? Yeah, I knew him. That's that's what they said.

1076
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: They said, the nephew. And I remember Swiss coming to

1077
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: the studio and him playing band from TV and I

1078
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: never let the beat drop. The beat has you know,

1079
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: so it's a loop. And we were too thirsty, like

1080
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: we were starving m sees. And it was crazy because

1081
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: Nature came, he laid the verse, Cameron came, No, Pun came.

1082
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: Pun came and laid the verse, and I went downstairs

1083
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 1: to smoke a cigarette and Pun just laid a verse

1084
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: and I was just mad at point. I was just like, yeah,

1085
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm erasing that. He's like, you're gonna erase that and

1086
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: then this is the classic cam. And then I always

1087
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: say this to people and I say, Swiss me and

1088
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Swiss made that. Swiss is still mad at me to

1089
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: to this day. Nothing that everything men. And he was like,

1090
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, we live. Let the beat drop because what

1091
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: I rhyme knowing was the loop that to live from.

1092
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: He never drops. So whenever I put somebody on or

1093
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: wherever I try to, like you know, uh, you know,

1094
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 1: put somebody onto game, I say, I go, look at

1095
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: Swiss and I showed him. I say, look, this is

1096
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 1: my friend. We're really friends. And he's still mad at me. Look,

1097
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: never dropped, never really dropped. Never, he said, the engineer looped.

1098
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: So the beat never dropped to the beat, never dropped.

1099
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: He's never forgetting. Don't get it twisted. We're friends, but

1100
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 1: never never never. That's yeah, it's just a loop. Yeah

1101
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, I keep on my card. This is

1102
01:09:50,880 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 1: your right. I say that to say, how passionate he is, like,

1103
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, me and him, we moved on. We have

1104
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: successful careers. We had, you know, so much beautiful thing

1105
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: happened in our lives in our career, and he'll still

1106
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: tell me, you know, I didn't like it. Imagine how

1107
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: that felt for him as a producer early on too,

1108
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 1: that you didn't even run to the beat, like when

1109
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: you just moved your face. It's just like so so sorry.

1110
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 1: And I was just like, get him, why did you

1111
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: like the face you made? Just that was like only ship.

1112
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: I just felt fucked up, Like imagine earlier was his career.

1113
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: And He's like, I'm gonna give my il beat. I

1114
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 1: think you didn't even do Really, do we have a

1115
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: version with the beat? Because the beat is I got

1116
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,599
Speaker 1: it some rais, I got it somewhere. Listen. I also

1117
01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: have all right. By the way, this was from TV

1118
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: was a record because I made on the firm album.

1119
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: I made I'm leaving on the Firm album and that

1120
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: was Nature session. So I wanted to repay Nature back

1121
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 1: but put him on my record. So he kept coming

1122
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: to the studio Swiss and I knew it was. I

1123
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,799
Speaker 1: knew Swiss was the guy wanted to make this record.

1124
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: So Swiss would play a beat and Nature would just

1125
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: standing there, and you know, Swiss cells to ship out of.

1126
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: Swiss can play you mouse's screen and you will buy

1127
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 1: the record. Like the little guy Swiss me look at it,

1128
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: and he won't make eye contact. He just looked at you.

1129
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: You like this, he wills it and listen. I've done

1130
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: I've took beat tapes home. I knew beat was it mine?

1131
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 1: But he just like that, Normy, you need this and

1132
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: that's what I can't rb bow you got me. He's like,

1133
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,200

1134
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: said the way you popped your head. Disagree. So now

1135
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:09,120

1164
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: grew up with my single mother, who raised me, who

1165
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: prayed for my survival, who hoped that I wouldn't get

1166
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 1: trapped in the streets, and like we all did. Yes,

1167
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: And here we are today. You're giving me flowers, we

1168
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 1: have a toast, we drinking Dominican herbal excellence. We are

1169
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: celebrating the greatness that we've created. We have been able

1170
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: to make it out of the mouth of the harshest jungle.

1171
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 1: And so when when I'm able to and my husband

1172
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: and I are able to be in a home that

1173
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: really represents our wildest dreams, to me, this represents our beautiful,

1174
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:37,560
Speaker 1: our blackness, our excellence, and what we all have. We

1175
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 1: all have this endless ability to create anything that we

1176
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: can imagine, and so and so that's what I believe,

1177
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: and that's what that represents to me. It represents to me,

1178
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 1: this this possibility that all of us have. And there's

1179
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 1: nobody that can't tell if they try, they try to

1180
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:55,640
Speaker 1: make us think we can't, we won't, we shouldn't, we

1181
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 1: don't deserve whatever this bullshit is. That narrative is old,

1182
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: is fake, it's not even whatever. We can imagine, whatever

1183
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: we dream, we have the capacity to create, and I

1184
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: feel blessed that we get to represent that. Let let's

1185
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: be let's be honest here you seen the picture of

1186
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: you when you were young in your room with all

1187
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: these with my headphones on, and like the works for it,

1188
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 1: like you worked for it. You were how young you?

1189
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: How old were you in that picture? Do you know

1190
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 1: the one with SP behind her SP SP twelve hundred

1191
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 1: which I program personally. Wow, So you were learning how

1192
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: to make beats on all those machines a machine and

1193
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:47,640
Speaker 1: had an a SR. We had the aid that. Then

1194
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: I transferred to the MP and then I got to

1195
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: the three thousand. I'm still one more than envision it.

1196
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: Just to think about it. You applied yourself my ask.

1197
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: There's a there's a big different that. You're right, you

1198
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: definitely have to work for it. For sure. There's nothing

1199
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna come easy for nobody. You know that. You

1200
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: know that, y'all all know that. You know what I mean.

1201
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that we don't have a tenacity,

1202
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: the genius, to brilliance, the possibility, to the potential to

1203

1205
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: supposed to fall in my lap, because why, you know

01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: I work my ass off and I but I believe

1209
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: in what I do, and I love what I do,

Speaker 1: being able to share, and I love being able to

1212
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: write songs that means something to somebody in fifty years

1213
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: down the line, that means something to somebody. That's what

1214
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm here to do. And I'm and I'm never going

1215
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: to jump out my lane. This is my lane, and

1216
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna always, you know, bring more to it because

1217
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 1: that's how I believe in it, you know what I mean.

1218
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 1: So I love what you're saying with Little Wane. The

1219
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 1: song is so why did you wanted to name it

1220
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 1: Na King? So? Na King Cole? Can you explain to

1221
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: people who don't know Naing? Which is so fire because

1222
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: like even my kids they they mommy, who's Na King Cole?

1223
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: And a lot of people won't know who that can

1224
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,959
Speaker 1: call this And obviously he's one of the greatest singers,

1225
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:23,799
Speaker 1: you know, black amazing singers that ever existed. Rivals Frank Sinatra,

1226
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:25,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, if there was a if

1227
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: there was a rival to Frank Sinatra, to me, it

1228
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: would be Nacking Cole and his song is called Unforgettable,

1229
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:32,959
Speaker 1: one of his big, big song you hear that Christmas.

1230
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: It's like one of your favorite songs. You might not

1231
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: know you love it, but you love it. And Unforgettable

1232
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: it's such a sophisticated, elegant song. And unforgettable is the

1233
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 1: is the title of it. And this the concept of keys,

1234
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 1: is that we get to be almost majestic, magnificent version

1235
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 1: of ourselves. Nobody can make us be small, nobody can

1236
01:18:56,720 --> 01:19:00,040
Speaker 1: make us not be incredible. And so this side of

1237
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: being unforgettable, we are unforgettable. We're amazing. Look what we create,

1238
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 1: Look what we do, Look what we have been through,

1239
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 1: Look what we've come through. We are unforgettable. And so

1240
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: that the hook is be unforgettable like that, King Cole.

1241
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: And that's why I called it that King Come. Yeah,

1242
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing to learn about who you might

1243
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: not know, or who you might forgot or you know,

1244
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 1: because time passes and people forget. But you gotta remember

1245
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 1: that's part of why we do drink champs, to be

1246
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:36,439
Speaker 1: honest with That's that's a really important thing, you know

1247
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: what I mean. So you've got records a little way nah,

1254
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 1: supported me, and I'm you think it's your fault to

1255
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: not invite him on stage. Maybe I think maybe I

1256
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: was shy. You know a lot of times you feel

1257
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: like you don't deserve because he's infamous for impromptu stuff

1258

Speaker 1: and he called me to his his Okay, in that case,

1259
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:14,719
Speaker 1: you're right, because we did have one where he asked

1260
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 1: me to be at one of his kind of after

1261
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 1: party things. But I wanted us to have like a Grammys.

1262
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 1: I want us to have like a moment we deserve,

1263
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: the moment in history, you know what I mean. But

1264
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: I gotta say we had we had an unforgettable time

1265
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 1: and when his kind of like secret joint switches, which

1266
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: was mine, but I have pictures from it. It's crazy, um,

1267
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 1: but but that one, I still feel like me and

1268
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: Lauren are meant to know what I mean, yes, why

1269
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 1: has Lauren not come up in this comment? Because she

1270
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: is greatness personify, So me and her, there's something that

1271
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:55,560
Speaker 1: there's just such an emotional energy as she brings, and

1272
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,759
Speaker 1: I feel like we could have something really really crazy.

1273
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:06,680
Speaker 1: Has anybody told me, no, no, fantastic because we had

1274
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: had the same teeople and the only person he said

1275
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 1: that did front on him was friends, and he said

1276
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't because he didn't want to do the record

1277
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 1: with him master because didn't own his masters, and he

1278
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:22,640
Speaker 1: he was real like that. No. He I had the

1279
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 1: song that I had called like You've Never Seen Me Again,

1280
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite songs. It does have

1281
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: a progression very close to Purple Rain, and I had

1282
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: to go see him. I flew out to London. He

1283
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,560
Speaker 1: was in like this hotel and had to find it.

1284
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: Like this is never an easy thing when you look

1285
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 1: at for friends, So I had to find him. I

1286
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: had to sit with him and I said to him, like,

1287
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: I love this record. It's so powerful. I wrote it

1288
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 1: for my grandmother. It's about like taking seizing the moment

1289
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: and not letting it go and loving the person like

1290
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: you might never see them again, because you know how

1291
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: the short life is and so he felt it. He

1292
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: was good and he was like, Alicia, I'm not sending

1293
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: these people's children to college. All my ship, it ship

1294
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: is deep. And he said that to me, it was like,

1295
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: how could I argue? You know what I mean? Like,

1296
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 1: how could you? I was like, And so he was like,

1297
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what you need to do. Flip the

1298
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: cords up, change them around, make him like close but

1299
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 1: not quite. And I promise you I will be fine

1300
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: with it, but but I can't. I can't. We have

1301
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 1: to we have to own our ship. He was he

1302
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: was way ahead of his time. He was way ahead

1303
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 1: of his time, Like I feel like he would have

1304
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:40,560
Speaker 1: flourished now now it's now, it's his time, you know

1305
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:42,560
Speaker 1: what I mean? You know what I mean? Because he

1306
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: was about this forever we're finally getting around. He'd been there.

1307
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I kind of I feel I feel like

1308
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: it kind of started with Jay with like you know,

1309
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: claiming its ownership thing, and it made us like, you know,

1310
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 1: even with us with drink chaps, like we love being

1311
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 1: a revote because vote allowed us to be who we

1312
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:03,640
Speaker 1: want to be. You understand what I'm saying. And they

1313
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: do it so um, was that something that changed you? Here?

1314
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 1: And Prince say that like you know it was big. No,

1315
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: I definitely think, you know, as a young artist, because

1316
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: Michael wasn't as vocal as that. Michael owned the Masters,

1317
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 1: Like I heard, Michael's buying other people's published. He was

1318
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: like catalogs of different type of publish type, like some

1319
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 1: type of grazing ship. But even Michael was passive aggressive.

1320
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: I would say he didn't want to rattle to the boat,

1321
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 1: but Prince was not. Prince was asked out and everything

1322
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 1: was like maybe Michael didn't care about that portion of

1323
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:45,640
Speaker 1: the business. He's like, all right, whatever the record, but

1324
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: he was buying up Michael, he was buying up other

1325
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: people's publishing. So in his don't owned like Elvis publish.

1326
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: I think he about the Beatles. Yeah, yeah, in his

1327
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: mind he's like, that's the way I'm gonna take back. Yeah, exactly.

1328
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 1: He was a silent act of it, you know what

1329
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like a sign activist where he just move.

1330
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: So let me ask you something, where do you put

1331
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: your Grammys at? Like? Why was that not without expect him?

1332
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 1: So for the for the longest time, I didn't even

1333
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 1: want them. I just I just I just the way

1334
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: that I am. I'm such a real person. I don't

1335
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: want a bunch of fake statues to represent some something

1336
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:31,360
Speaker 1: that's not real. What's real is you know your passion.

1337
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: What's real is how much you put into what you do.

1338
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,719
Speaker 1: You yourself said you haven't got a Grammy. You deserve

1339
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: a grammytminated. There's so many people who deserve a Grammy.

1340
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm so good of good in life because other than that,

1341
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 1: I would be a hater, like I would be hate

1342
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,880
Speaker 1: does And so for me, I didn't even want them

1343
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 1: to to to to be a value of value, you know,

1344
01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 1: a sense of value for me. So I didn't happen.

1345
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:00,560
Speaker 1: For the longest time. My manager had them all in

1346
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: his house. And finally my engineer, who's amazing, she's as

1347
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: bad as woman who's a who's just like she runs

1348
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: the whole world. She's incredible, she said, where's your Grammys?

1349
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I guess they're over at

1350
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 1: that person's. She was like, I need you to get

1351
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,280

Speaker 1: all the time. I worked to the last minute. I

1365
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:07,439
Speaker 1: keep writing records. Regardless the record drops December tenth, It's

1366
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 1: going to be so crazy. And even after that, you know,

1367
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 1: there's more songs that come. I just I just love music.

1368
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 1: So we were working on a vibe that may or

1369
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: may not make the record. We don't know because I'm

1370
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: that spontaneous. But he came through. He loved the record.

1371
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 1: Actually that only you record it, really, it really takes

1372
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 1: him to that. He had to rubber boots. I couldn't

1373
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: tell if they were rubber or leather. Are the rubber

1374
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: or leather? But they were high. I'm gonna drink to that, so, Alicia,

1375
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: because I mean, honestly, this is probably the only question

1376
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 1: I can ask you or bust the rhymes like in

1377
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,599

1380
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 1: but I just want to get the way that he

1381
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 1: cultivates energy is out of this world. Out of this world.

1382
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 1: So what's my my favorite? Is making the record or

1383
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: performing the record? D That's such a good question. I

1384
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 1: feel like making it, you have this personal experience with

1385
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: it that really feels magical because it's like you're by yourself,

1386
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,719
Speaker 1: where you're with three or four people, and there's something

1387
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,560
Speaker 1: about it that you're like, I really feel something in this.

1388
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: You don't know, you don't know if you're gonna like it,

1389
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: and you're gonna like it, you like, you have no idea,

1390
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: but there's something magical that exists that you feel like,

1391
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: I feel like there's something special with here. When you

1392
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 1: perform it and you get a chance to see how

1393
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 1: people actually connect with it, it's it's mind blowing you.

1394
01:27:55,200 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 1: Like this thing was invisible six months almost like sen

1395
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 1: the gun that you bought because you don't really know,

1396
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 1: is that? Yeah? I kind of like, I'm sorry. I mean,

1397
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 1: because you know some people, you know, you buy a gun,

1398
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 1: How did you really know if this work? Like shoes,

1399
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 1: shoes and the shot and then shoot? You like that feeling?

1400
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 1: Like that feeling, because that's always I always felt. I mean,

1401
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: that's the best anality of her in my life. I'm sorry.

1402
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 1: I was always trying like a motherfucker no that I

1403
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 1: got it, because you know, you're excellent performer, thank you.

1404
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 1: Like I've always watched your performance at these shows. When

1405
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: you come out, you got the piano on, I said,

1406
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:50,519
Speaker 1: piano on you. But like you've never had a lame performance.

1407
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: That's why I hear you like the Buster rhyn I've

1408
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: never seen Buster have friends. He just performed for Dave

1409
01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:59,800
Speaker 1: Chappelle and he just he just did for twelve minutes

1410
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:04,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know what he did. Yeah, gone, holy ship.

1411
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 1: He said that he never headlined a tour, you know,

1412
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: And he told me he never rehearsed. Did you believe that?

1413
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: I was like a legend. He literally is the best,

1414
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:23,680
Speaker 1: potentially one of the best mcs that ever ever ever,

1415
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 1: And the fact that he's still could spit just like

1416
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:31,080
Speaker 1: that right now, because you know why motherfucker is scared

1417
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 1: to go after Boston. Oh and you can't go you

1418
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 1: know what. That's it, that's the reasons exactly. That's what

1419
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:38,840
Speaker 1: he should headlined the tour. Yeah, but then anybody never

1420
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 1: come back on Tuesday. He carries on Tuesday. Everybody gonna listen.

1421
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,880
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I did a show. I'm

1422
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna ship. I did a show. This is

1423
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 1: real talk, This is real, real talk. In San Francisco,

1424
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: Don o'mar came to the promoter and said, if I

1425
01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 1: go after North, I'm giving them money back. What what

1426
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:05,640
Speaker 1: he didn't know at the time, Donald War was he

1427
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:10,679
Speaker 1: was bigger than me in this Latino market. But people

1428
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:17,880
Speaker 1: were so scared of that ship. Was smashing ship, he told.

1429
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:22,320
Speaker 1: So he made the promotera make me go, so you

1430
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 1: had to go after him. I had to go after him,

1431
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:29,599
Speaker 1: and so I couldn't come after dollar was that ship

1432
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:36,599
Speaker 1: he had? What the funk? I didn't want to perform.

1433
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:42,280
Speaker 1: It's the whole fantasy he did. He got me, He

1434
01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:48,559
Speaker 1: got got me. It's okay, but okay, I realized, how

1435
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 1: crazy is there anybody who was scared to perform after

1436
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: you every everybody love at least it's going in how

1437
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 1: your live. Like. One of the things that the Locks

1438
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 1: pointed out when they their Bottle with Dip set was

1439
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 1: that there were certain records that they were they were

1440
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:16,519
Speaker 1: going over. You never you never lip sync. Mm hmmm.

1441
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:21,800
Speaker 1: That is a disrespect to your craft, I feel, you know. Also,

1442
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm very very serious about auto tune too,

1443
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:26,600
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, I feel that a lot of I

1444
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 1: just personally me, I'm gonna sing the record and I'm

1445
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna sing it until it's right, and if it's not right,

1446
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep singing it. I'm gonna practice it, I'm

1447
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 1: gonna fix it, and I'm gonna come back and sing it.

1448
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:38,240
Speaker 1: But the but to me, I feel like a lot

1449
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 1: of people who use auto tune are actually thinking of

1450
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:45,600
Speaker 1: an instrument called the vote colder, which is which is

1451
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 1: which is where it's an instrument that you play and

1452
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 1: you sing into the microphone for it. And um, I

1453
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:54,680
Speaker 1: think Confunction used to use it a lot Like Confunction

1454
01:31:54,760 --> 01:32:00,120
Speaker 1: was the way it goes on love Chain. Okay, then

1455
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:04,680
Speaker 1: all the West Coast joints period in the story what

1456
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:08,439
Speaker 1: a what a what a jew when you play there

1457
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 1: all scared to come on? Mr Leading could come in.

1458
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:17,040
Speaker 1: You're the producer, come anybody. I don't even know why

1459
01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:23,760
Speaker 1: I was up, so now you're gonna. But but the

1460
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,280
Speaker 1: vote quota is like a son a sonic, it's a sound.

1461
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 1: So I feel like a lot of people that I

1462
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:31,880
Speaker 1: use them. Um, I want to try to the exaggerated version,

1463
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:34,640
Speaker 1: which would like to clear we're trying to say that

1464
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: people that use oral tone really can't sing. I'm just

1465
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm asking that's what you're saying. That's definitely what I

1466
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 1: actually am saying, is that I think that people want

1467
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 1: to use it's like a sonic. And so now there's

1468
01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: a certain sonic that is created and it actually is

1469
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:53,639
Speaker 1: mimicking an instrument called the vote quota, and I think

1470
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:57,960
Speaker 1: that's what's actually fresh. People are discovering what the original,

1471
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:01,679
Speaker 1: which is like making a completely different instrument of your voice.

1472
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 1: Exactly what you're saying is and this is what it is,

1473
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:06,679
Speaker 1: the original auto tunes. You never you never heard auto

1474
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:10,599
Speaker 1: tunes being used. It just it made Yeah, it helped

1475
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:14,360
Speaker 1: their vocals like match the beat or what you would better,

1476
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 1: you would just make you more on pitch. But I

1477
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:19,720
Speaker 1: actually don't think people are trying to be Yes, they're

1478
01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 1: trying to be on pitch to a degree, but more

1479
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 1: it's like a sonic. It's a sound. It's part of

1480
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 1: how it's used. Now nobody heard it at all exactly

1481
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,600
Speaker 1: and now it's like intentional, you know, because it's a

1482
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:33,080
Speaker 1: sonic at this point. But it really made the vocoder,

1483
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:35,920
Speaker 1: which is the Roger trout like sonic. Which is fine.

1484
01:33:36,120 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 1: So let me ask you. We had tricked Daddy here

1485
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 1: and tried dad that he thinks Beyonce is a great performer,

1486
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:50,759
Speaker 1: but she can't sang. I disagreed with him, and totally

1487
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:52,960
Speaker 1: I think he said a little differently though what he

1488
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:56,880
Speaker 1: actually said, I think I disagree. No, he didn't say

1489
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:00,760
Speaker 1: it that way. He said in comparison to the great

1490
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 1: But what do you hear when you hear things like

1491
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:08,960
Speaker 1: that and then people compare you to the greats? People say,

1492
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:12,560
Speaker 1: Alicia Kasan San You know, first of all, there's a

1493
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 1: lot of we were talking about some of the singing

1494
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 1: singing singers. We were talking about Whitney obviously as a

1495
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 1: destructive beast monster I did. She was a friend. She

1496
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 1: was a friend, and I really really really loved her,

1497
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,640
Speaker 1: and she really came to see me and check on

1498
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 1: me and make sure I was good and visit me

1499
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 1: and like real ship, which is rare. Um. So she's

1500
01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:36,799
Speaker 1: definitely a singing sing before. We're talking about SWV Coco

1501
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:39,639
Speaker 1: Coco with I mean, I feel like Coco was singing

1502
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 1: so many people to the day under the table quick fast.

1503
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:47,360
Speaker 1: She's amazing. We're talking about Jasmine Sullivan. I think she's

1504
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:53,680
Speaker 1: like she had those vogos out are so crazy, Fantasia ridiculous,

1505
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:56,799
Speaker 1: you know. So there's a lot of amazing singers. I actually,

1506
01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 1: I actually do feel that b is one of those singers.

1507
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 1: If she shipped it all. But she happens to be

1508
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:05,600
Speaker 1: a show woman as well as showman, you know, so

1509
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 1: she does show. You know, she she's visual, so she

1510
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 1: likes to really show how she's expressing. But if she

1511
01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:15,880
Speaker 1: sat or sat next to a piano and you and

1512
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 1: I played and she just sang, sing, sing, I do

1513
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 1: believe that she can absolutely hang with the greats. Like

1514
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 1: she has a voice that backs up everything. Like really,

1515
01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:27,920
Speaker 1: if she stripped it all back, you would you would

1516
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 1: really hear it, you know what I mean. So, um,

1517
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:33,720
Speaker 1: I think She's one of the greats for sure, Big Love.

1518
01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 1: But is it funny when they compare you to the

1519
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:41,720
Speaker 1: to the singer of singers like like and I can

1520
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:45,719
Speaker 1: read the like you know, like like the like classic.

1521
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:51,599
Speaker 1: I just feel so grateful to continue on that legacy,

1522
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, that legacy of that songwriter, that that individual.

1523
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: Unique artists, you know, like a Nina Simone, you know,

1524
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:01,639
Speaker 1: like these these artist that really they had something to say,

1525
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:05,040
Speaker 1: They had a perspective that they operated from. There wasn't

1526
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 1: backing down for nobody like they wasn't fitting in anybody's box.

1527
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't trying to be commercial. It wasn't about that.

1528
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:13,760
Speaker 1: It was about like what do you want to say?

1529
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 1: Who are you? And how do you express? And so

1530
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:18,880
Speaker 1: for me to be compared to artists like that, he's

1531
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 1: a lot like means a lot. And I don't take

1532
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:24,120
Speaker 1: that for granted. That's a that's a that's something I appreciated.

1533
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 1: But let me ask, are you so bad? I know

1534
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:33,960
Speaker 1: how you started with the scratch? You know, yeah, because

1535
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 1: it's about the because you Swiss and Drake got this

1536
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:47,240
Speaker 1: kind of awkward kindly relationship Swiss Drake and her. Yes,

1537
01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:56,880
Speaker 1: you didn't recerenspection. You didn't red Drake. One thing that's

1538
01:36:56,920 --> 01:37:00,600
Speaker 1: missing on the tables. Water Yeah, drink your water. We

1539
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:03,679
Speaker 1: got a drink chance water. It's water. It's like it's okay,

1540
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 1: thank you, with a shoutut Tequilas, just like so yeah,

1541
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 1: because you guys did a record three of us. No,

1542
01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:17,559
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you and you, you and Drake right

1543
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:21,040
Speaker 1: the record we did unthinkable, okay, and then Swiss and

1544
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: Drake did a record they did which was out of

1545
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 1: this world. Both of those was out of both of

1546
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 1: those was out of this world. But we have Swiss

1547
01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 1: on here. And this was when we was in New

1548
01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 1: York and he said something about Drake. We edited it out,

1549
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 1: we didn't use it. But I was supposed to say

1550
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 1: that I don't know we're gonna back. No, it's because

1551
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 1: and this is when I was learning how to be

1552
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 1: a journalist. I was learning how So when Swiss asked me,

1553
01:37:56,280 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: I said, no problem. But I knew that when you

1554
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:02,760
Speaker 1: put energy that get that into this world, it comes back.

1555
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 1: So what happened was he had put this energy out

1556
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:11,920
Speaker 1: and I guess he expected Drake toler back and say

1557
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 1: something back. That never happened because we edited it, and

1558
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 1: I told you, as I said, your listen, I would

1559
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:20,840
Speaker 1: never put you in the predicament where I would get

1560
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:22,560
Speaker 1: you in trouble. So I wanted to use it. But

1561
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't crazy. But it wasn't crazy when he said

1562
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:29,680
Speaker 1: he was put together. Then two months later because he

1563
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:32,479
Speaker 1: put the same energy out, he didn't and then he

1564
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:35,920
Speaker 1: was on Live with Bust the bus and it was

1565
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 1: like I called him immediately. I was like, I told you,

1566
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:41,160
Speaker 1: let me use this ship. You would have never said

1567
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:44,760
Speaker 1: what you said on the bus to live if you

1568
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 1: want to, just let us because because we were literally

1569
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:50,599
Speaker 1: had Drake signed up for like the next two weeks

1570
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:52,920
Speaker 1: or something like that on the next two months. So

1571
01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:55,360
Speaker 1: we was we didn't that's go crazy one because that's

1572
01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:57,760
Speaker 1: my brother and to like, we're protecting our old prayer.

1573
01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 1: So then that's that's that's this comes out. I see,

1574
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:04,160
Speaker 1: I'll see Swiss. I call him. I say, yo, bro,

1575
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:10,200
Speaker 1: this was a little weird energy. It's because you're happy

1576
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: at it. He agree with me. It's me and him.

1577
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:16,519
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is it's sent a relationship in

1578
01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:21,200
Speaker 1: a bad sort of sort of energy. You're in his relationship. No,

1579
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking okay, okay, Swiss and drinks. You know, I'm

1580
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:31,760
Speaker 1: saying Swissen and dricks because because it's sent where it

1581
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 1: made almost look like Swiss was attacking him, and they

1582
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:39,479
Speaker 1: didn't have the backstory of what happened with Fancy or

1583
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:41,719
Speaker 1: what happened you felt was more explained on drink chairs.

1584
01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 1: You basically salty. How he feeling about it didn't get

1585
01:39:52,360 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 1: me back. I was sent there. I I said that,

1586
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,240
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't know if you could ask

1587
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 1: with it was that morning that came out and I said, Swiss,

1588
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:09,240
Speaker 1: this is what I told him. He said, no, us right,

1589
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:10,600
Speaker 1: I should have just left it. And I said that

1590
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 1: you do not want you to do because the next

1591
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 1: morning after the Bosster thing, what a lot of people

1592
01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 1: were saying was, oh, Swiss is hating. You can't hate.

1593
01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 1: You can't hate if you up. There's not a up hater.

1594
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:37,479
Speaker 1: It's not really so on losers, there's not really so winners.

1595
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:41,719
Speaker 1: Excuse me, there's not that word. Thank you. You understand

1596
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 1: about dylexia. You are you are connected with me, but

1597
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,960
Speaker 1: they can't be really so when it's so, you know

1598
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 1: that said Swiss, can you to be a favor and

1599
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 1: he goes, what's up. I said, post your beautiful wife,

1600
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 1: post your beautiful cause, and post your beautiful house. And

1601
01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:02,439
Speaker 1: they don't even a dress it. And I think he

1602
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 1: actually listened to me. But the thing was it sent

1603
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 1: this relationship because all of your three very famous people.

1604
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:15,719
Speaker 1: What is your take on the direct situation? My sake

1605
01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 1: on Swiss is that he is the most real human

1606
01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 1: on the planet. Ask anybody, there's not he's on the

1607
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 1: phone with people that he loves at three in the morning,

1608
01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 1: come to bed. But he's on the phone with people

1609
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:40,400
Speaker 1: because they need him, because they're going through something and

1610
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:48,240
Speaker 1: they need somebody to listen. I probably definitely name of

1611
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:52,639
Speaker 1: name name. He shows up for everybody times a million.

1612
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:56,679
Speaker 1: I've never seen a loyalty or respects being a loyalty

1613
01:41:56,720 --> 01:42:02,560
Speaker 1: to respect like him that people people love him in

1614
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 1: a way that I never experienced before. There's a real connection.

1615
01:42:07,479 --> 01:42:10,160
Speaker 1: He can call you tomorrow, he can call anybody and

1616
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 1: say my brother blah blah blah blah blah, and it's

1617
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:17,080
Speaker 1: a real thing. There's some fake industry bullshit because it

1618
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 1: serves you at the moment. He's one of the v

1619
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:24,160
Speaker 1: realist person I've ever met. So so my perspective on

1620
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:27,880
Speaker 1: him is that he's always going to speak his truth

1621
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 1: because whatever he's saying, there's their validity behind it and

1622
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:36,240
Speaker 1: beside it. He is absolutely the most genuine person and

1623
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:39,240
Speaker 1: he's he's thorough. You know, he's the realist of the

1624
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:42,400
Speaker 1: real He tells me, the realists of the real can

1625
01:42:42,479 --> 01:42:45,880
Speaker 1: go out without a dollar in a pocket and be good.

1626
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:57,120
Speaker 1: And that's who he is. That's that's so um. Hold on,

1627
01:42:57,160 --> 01:42:58,720
Speaker 1: when do we get to go to the back? I'm

01:44:45,920 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 1: I'd like to return to the class. You want to

1649
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 1: give people they flower. So when you hear people saying

1650
01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 1: giving their flowers, and we made that, you made up

1651
01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:20,600
Speaker 1: a statement. We made up making that face because we

1652
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 1: wanted to look at in their faces, tell them how

1653
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 1: great they are and not be ashamed. Flower. I love this,

1654
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:37,760
Speaker 1: by the way. I love that this is your house.

1655
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:41,000
Speaker 1: Any time you want to promote, anytime you want, you

1656
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:46,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't do anything. But um, was this intentional for the video?

1657
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 1: You don't know my name when you was the way

1658
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:54,760
Speaker 1: the waitress and you didn't have the name Tad You see?

1659
01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 1: Is that very simple? Really? Yeah, because we got to

1660
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 1: picture of it, I just didn't have a name. Because

1661
01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 1: is that the reason why I didn't know your name?

1662
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 1: That you know what Chris Robinson direction video. It works. Well,

1686
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:50,800
Speaker 1: cared about the art. You know, I've never even really

1687
01:47:50,920 --> 01:47:57,160
Speaker 1: been here to be It's never been. I don't want

1694
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:46,920
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I'm so happy to see your face.

1696
01:48:50,240 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 1: real smile. I didn't expect that. That was a sweet surprise.

1697
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:55,759
Speaker 1: I love it. And they're trying to get me twisted

1698
01:48:55,800 --> 01:49:02,519
Speaker 1: over here. But but I'm a champion. They don't know,

1699
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 1: they don't even know. I love you, brother. I'm so

1700
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:19,760
Speaker 1: happy to see that's fired. That's fired, you know, to

1701
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:23,400
Speaker 1: piggyback off of what he's asking you right now. Yes,

1702
01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:27,400
Speaker 1: I knew I was being a parent. Now how do

1703
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:31,400
Speaker 1: you balance creativity being a parent? Now, you know, I

1704
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:37,519
Speaker 1: probably during the pandemic is when I really learned that

1705
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:41,280
Speaker 1: like I needed, I needed to have to carve out

1706
01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 1: time for myself. And you know, you get so worried

1707
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:46,600
Speaker 1: about everybody else and you want everybody be good, and

1708
01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:49,400
Speaker 1: the world is so strange and we don't even know

1709
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:52,439
Speaker 1: what's exactly what and what's tough from bottom or what's

1710
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna happen tomorrow or whatever and so um, and so

1711
01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:59,320
Speaker 1: I just realized that it's just that's important for me

1712
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:02,479
Speaker 1: to make sure that they're good is as important it

1713
01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:04,920
Speaker 1: is for me to make sure that I'm good, because

1714
01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:07,240
Speaker 1: if I'm good, then they can be great, you know

1715
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 1: what I mean. So that's something that I think for

1716
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:13,120
Speaker 1: us as women, especially because we offer all the caretakers

1717
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:15,719
Speaker 1: and we're the ones that's really putting the most time

1718
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 1: in and everybody, you know, creates the energy around the family.

1719
01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:21,600
Speaker 1: But I think that it's important for us to know

1720
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 1: that we have to make sure that we're good too,

1721
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that's something that I

1722
01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:31,599
Speaker 1: learned recently and just was reminded of, especially with the pandemic,

1723
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:33,640
Speaker 1: and especially when kids was out of school and you

1724
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:35,280
Speaker 1: was trying to be the teacher and the mama and

1725
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 1: my kids were so mad at me. That's like, you're

1726
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:40,880
Speaker 1: so mean, you know. It's like, I'm not me. You

1727
01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:42,840
Speaker 1: are trying to play me, and I need you to

1728
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:47,000
Speaker 1: get good done to the pandemic and the way was

1729
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 1: a blessing in disguise for a lot of people. I

1730
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 1: think so. I think so for sure, regards to time,

1731
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:54,800
Speaker 1: in regards to appreciation, and regards to really recognize in

1732
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: the real you know, we get so lost, we get

1733
01:50:57,320 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 1: so lost, and the fakes ship ever, it is fake,

1734
01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:04,679
Speaker 1: it really is. There's nothing about it that's actually real

1735
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:08,640
Speaker 1: until you realize that people that actually love you and

1736
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 1: will actually they don't have any profit that they're gonna

1737
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:14,439
Speaker 1: gain from you. They don't have any you know, anything

1738
01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:18,080
Speaker 1: that they're going to get from you being good, you know,

1739
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:21,080
Speaker 1: except that you're good. Like that's the most precious thing.

1740
01:51:21,240 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 1: So with the kids and with the family and balancing that,

1741
01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard. I leave and I feel like

1742
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:28,519
Speaker 1: and they're like, mommybody have to leave, and I'm like

1743
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make sure it's worth it because me

1744
01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 1: being without them, you know, it's hard, you know for

1745
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:38,120
Speaker 1: any parents to leave their kids and you go to work,

1746
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:40,080
Speaker 1: you going to school, you're trying to put your extra

1747
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:42,840
Speaker 1: work in. It's it's hard, but if it's worth it

1748
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:45,360
Speaker 1: because you you have something to say, and you've got

1749
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:47,640
Speaker 1: something that you represent, and you've got something that you

1750
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:50,800
Speaker 1: want them to learn and see, then you know, then

1751
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:52,559
Speaker 1: it then it feels good. And that's what I can

1752
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:54,960
Speaker 1: tell them. I can tell them going to bring like

1753
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:57,840
Speaker 1: this energy, you know what I mean, so people can

1754
01:51:57,960 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 1: feel it, so that so that we could keep rowing,

1755
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, all of us. Did you find any any

1756
01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:09,040
Speaker 1: writer's block moments? Yeah, I couldn't write shit. I was like,

1757
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:15,040
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, no, the same so much. I mean

1758
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:16,559
Speaker 1: I would be on these because you know, I put

1759
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:19,880
Speaker 1: out the Alicia albums during the pandemic, and at first

1760
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:21,559
Speaker 1: I was like is this right? Is it's not put

1761
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:23,840
Speaker 1: out a book too? And I was like is this right?

1762
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean, people can't even pay the rent, Like what

1763
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:27,640
Speaker 1: am I doing? Am I going to ask him to

1764
01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:29,680
Speaker 1: buy a book? But I believed in the book, and

1765
01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:32,519
Speaker 1: I believe that it was about finding who you are

1766
01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:35,600
Speaker 1: and choosing who you are, especially now we got to

1767
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:39,000
Speaker 1: choose who we want to be. So anyway, I'd be

1768
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:41,120
Speaker 1: on these interviews and maybe like, so aren't you just

1769
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:43,400
Speaker 1: so creative Alicia? I mean, my gosh, You're like, yeah,

1770
01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 1: all this time at home, you must be writing a song,

1771
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:52,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hell no, I can't write now one song.

1772
01:52:52,880 --> 01:52:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I'm stressed out. I

1773
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:57,600
Speaker 1: don't know what I feel. That ship is crazy. I

1774
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:00,760
Speaker 1: don't know what's happening. I was not only creative, no,

1775
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:03,360
Speaker 1: like not even in the littlest bit. I was grateful

1776
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:06,120
Speaker 1: that I finished the record because I actually just had

1777
01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:08,320
Speaker 1: the records already that I could, you know, connect with.

1778
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:10,799
Speaker 1: But like if I was supposed to write new records,

1779
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:12,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I couldn't can remix and say this

1780
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:20,360
Speaker 1: diapers on fire and that wouldn't work. That's not gonna work.

1781
01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:25,120
Speaker 1: So now, But I definitely felt like confused about how

1782
01:53:25,200 --> 01:53:27,080
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be creative and how I supposed

1783
01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:28,920
Speaker 1: to find time for myself and that type of thing.

1784
01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:30,880
Speaker 1: Do you still feel like that or you feeling like

1785
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:34,320
Speaker 1: you're kind of getting a one year old and a

1786
01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:38,880
Speaker 1: three year old. That's just the majors. What's hard of

1787
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 1: being an artist or being a mommy, being a mother

1788
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:47,160
Speaker 1: and be a mother? Yeah, why I think that you know,

1789
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:54,920
Speaker 1: like you know, like you are creating and raising a mind,

1790
01:53:56,160 --> 01:53:59,559
Speaker 1: a spirit of being a person. Multiple people who need

1791
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:02,680
Speaker 1: who have from ways of experiencing life. They you know,

1792
01:54:02,760 --> 01:54:06,600
Speaker 1: they depend on you to help them equip themselves with

1793
01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:08,800
Speaker 1: what it's gonna take for them to survive, you know

1794
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:10,840
Speaker 1: what I mean. And and and that's a real thing,

1795
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I mean. That's a it's

1796
01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 1: a real thing not to be taken lightly. And I

1797
01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, it's everything I say I'm reconsidering.

1798
01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, should I should have talked to him like that?

1799

Speaker 1: I was too hard on him. I should have like

1800
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:26,920
Speaker 1: explained more. Dang, why am I? Why am I so upset?

1801

02:01:06,240 --> 02:01:08,400

Speaker 1: you so the way, thank you so much. And um,

1897
02:01:14,080 --> 02:01:16,520
Speaker 1: let me just be clear. You know, we just looked

1898
02:01:16,560 --> 02:01:20,360
Speaker 1: at this game as it's terrible that people have this

1899
02:01:20,480 --> 02:01:23,240
Speaker 1: word washed up. Like ten years in this game, people

1900
02:01:23,240 --> 02:01:26,320
Speaker 1: will say you're washed stuff like there's no word like

1901
02:01:26,440 --> 02:01:29,400
Speaker 1: that in Rock and Rolled up. There's no word like

1902
02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:33,880
Speaker 1: that in Jet Jazz, Like like what you're gonna say.

1903
02:01:33,960 --> 02:01:38,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna say Sam Cook is washed up? How can

1904
02:01:38,640 --> 02:01:41,040
Speaker 1: Sam Cook be washed up? So we wanted to change it.

1905
02:01:41,600 --> 02:01:45,080
Speaker 1: And you know, the more that you've done in this game,

1906
02:01:45,160 --> 02:01:46,800
Speaker 1: we want to praise it, we want to salute it,

1907
02:01:46,840 --> 02:01:48,320
Speaker 1: we want to do that to your face. We don't

1908
02:01:48,360 --> 02:01:51,320
Speaker 1: want to do that when a person that's passed away

1909
02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 1: and you're hands down the biggest artists female artists that's

1910
02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 1: ever stepped here. And let me just tell you something.

1911
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Although we're friends, I love your husband all that this

1912
02:02:06,560 --> 02:02:09,720
Speaker 1: does not go without warranted. This does not mean that.

1913
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:13,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't it means less because we're friends and were

1914
02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:16,760
Speaker 1: family and where were This means more because you really

1915
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:20,080
Speaker 1: could have did Oprah like I'm going to your husband earlier,

1916
02:02:20,160 --> 02:02:22,160
Speaker 1: and he was like, you listen, you know my wife

1917
02:02:22,200 --> 02:02:23,680
Speaker 1: could have did Oprah. And I was like, I got

1918
02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:26,760
Speaker 1: to hang up right now because I was like that

1919
02:02:26,920 --> 02:02:30,960
Speaker 1: it's actually true. I might have picked open over to y'alla,

1920
02:02:31,080 --> 02:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, Like when you would

1921
02:02:32,920 --> 02:02:36,640
Speaker 1: have picked up over you, I said me, Oprah, Nori

1922
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:38,880
Speaker 1: maan fuck Nori mean And I come back to them later.

1923
02:02:39,200 --> 02:02:41,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I might have been and

1924
02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:45,240
Speaker 1: and this is crazy because I have to thank artists

1925
02:02:45,320 --> 02:02:48,840
Speaker 1: like you, Karanye, you know the naz Is, and you

1926
02:02:48,920 --> 02:02:52,160
Speaker 1: know who's sitting around and says, you know what, I'm

1927
02:02:52,200 --> 02:02:54,240
Speaker 1: gonna go to the hip hop media and I'm gonna

1928
02:02:54,600 --> 02:02:57,320
Speaker 1: visit that because you know, in the honestest and the

1929
02:02:57,440 --> 02:03:01,480
Speaker 1: honest way, when the video, when the interview was so great,

1930
02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 1: they take our bits and pieces of the interview anywhere.

1931
02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:07,760
Speaker 1: So you don't have to kind of do fifteen different outlets.

1932
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:11,320
Speaker 1: You could do one powerful, great interview and it brings

1933
02:03:11,360 --> 02:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the power to I don't want to say black Latino.

1934
02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:16,960
Speaker 1: I want to say hip hop because it's bigger than

1935
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:19,000
Speaker 1: a race. To me, It's like it's bigger than just

1936
02:03:19,120 --> 02:03:22,680
Speaker 1: claiming to be black or Latino or even white or

1937
02:03:22,920 --> 02:03:27,120
Speaker 1: whatever whatever. Remember it's wherever hip hop conversation, a conversation

1938
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:32,000
Speaker 1: one of completely thank you and and and it's so

1939
02:03:32,120 --> 02:03:34,240

1940
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:36,400
Speaker 1: one of my best friends. And you could have just

1941
02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:39,120
Speaker 1: just hit swears, but you did a professional You had

1942
02:03:39,600 --> 02:03:42,640
Speaker 1: management the public. I felt so special. I was like,

1943
02:03:42,720 --> 02:03:47,120
Speaker 1: they sent me now. And by the way it took

1944
02:03:47,200 --> 02:03:49,640
Speaker 1: me twenty five minutes to download this ship that she

1945
02:03:49,760 --> 02:03:54,840
Speaker 1: was the most complicated, by the way I could not

1990
02:06:47,760 --> 02:06:49,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot to learn for all of us. You know,

1991
02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:52,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the times we don't have the tools

1992
02:06:52,520 --> 02:06:55,560
Speaker 1: or the information that allows us to really get ahead.

1993
02:06:56,000 --> 02:06:58,280
Speaker 1: And I really want to focus on that, like in

1994
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:02,520
Speaker 1: a in a major way, so crafting and creating ways

1995
02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:06,400
Speaker 1: that that happens and everything I do, but in everything

1996
02:07:06,560 --> 02:07:08,640
Speaker 1: that the people that I partner with, in the ways

1997
02:07:08,680 --> 02:07:10,600
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people are open to

1998
02:07:10,760 --> 02:07:15,840
Speaker 1: really equalizing the scales and and that we understand that

1999
02:07:16,440 --> 02:07:20,680
Speaker 1: that there's been years of of incorrectly done ship and

2000
02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:22,760
Speaker 1: inside of fixing, you know what I mean. So I'm

2001
02:07:22,800 --> 02:07:24,920
Speaker 1: really into that. So I really I'm learning about that

2002
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:26,800
Speaker 1: and I'm figuring out how to crack that code and

2003
02:07:26,840 --> 02:07:29,800
Speaker 1: really make that a real thing. So that's deep. Um,

2004
02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like there's so much to don't

2005
02:07:32,320 --> 02:07:33,880
Speaker 1: want to have a lot of fun too. I just

2006
02:07:33,960 --> 02:07:35,480

2054
02:10:57,880 --> 02:10:59,760
Speaker 1: you run off some dreams. I mean, I don't know

2055
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:02,440
Speaker 1: the question that I'm wondering. They told me you big

2056
02:11:03,400 --> 02:11:16,240
Speaker 1: who WHOA Like? I opened it and there's morning. I

2057
02:11:16,280 --> 02:11:17,880
Speaker 1: don't know. We don't worry. I got your back. I

2058
02:11:17,960 --> 02:11:19,040
Speaker 1: got your back. You don't got to do all that

2059
02:11:21,200 --> 02:11:23,160
Speaker 1: to get the weather, all right, So here's the question,

2060
02:11:25,240 --> 02:11:28,959
Speaker 1: what is this part? It's called would that be tobacco?

2061
02:11:29,080 --> 02:11:32,840
Speaker 1: It's called your back on because it's fake tobacco. That's

2062
02:11:32,840 --> 02:11:37,360
Speaker 1: a vegan tobacco. Tobacco. I don't know what I'm saying,

2063
02:11:37,400 --> 02:11:39,920
Speaker 1: but I think it's true. And then and then what

2064
02:11:40,280 --> 02:11:44,600
Speaker 1: great or strange right there? It's a great smoke Champs strain.

2065
02:11:44,960 --> 02:11:49,440
Speaker 1: It is called grown in the Mountains of Austria. I

2066
02:11:49,480 --> 02:11:55,080
Speaker 1: would prefer the Medican Republic road Roadman Republic next to

2067
02:11:55,120 --> 02:11:58,760
Speaker 1: the Mama Hauna Brandon. Now, I do appreciate the wooden filter. Yes,

2068
02:11:58,840 --> 02:12:00,680
Speaker 1: we would like for you to a spar that. Because

2069
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:03,520
Speaker 1: Kanye smoked the prototype. This is the actual one, that's

2070
02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:05,560
Speaker 1: the real ship. So you will be the first one

2071
02:12:05,600 --> 02:12:09,000
Speaker 1: that ever smoked that on smoke chairs. So I'm not

2072
02:12:09,080 --> 02:12:11,000
Speaker 1: going to be called finishing. I don't even be calling.

2073
02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to whatever. Whatever. Whatever, Yeah, my god,

2074
02:12:17,920 --> 02:12:27,760
Speaker 1: is it going on? Can we play? Yeah, let's make

2075
02:12:27,880 --> 02:12:32,120
Speaker 1: sure I'm not gonna cough. No, you ain't gonna We're

2076
02:12:32,120 --> 02:12:35,520
Speaker 1: gonna we edited that. We have a don't worry me

2077
02:12:35,600 --> 02:12:38,120
Speaker 1: and Swiss is edited in this episode. Anyway, don't worry

2078
02:12:38,120 --> 02:12:45,640
Speaker 1: about it. We got your back I heard, I heard,

2079
02:12:46,600 --> 02:12:48,880
Speaker 1: I heard you're a big time smoker. That's what they

2080
02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:55,040
Speaker 1: said on the low. So this is actually the awkward question.

2081
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:56,960
Speaker 1: Do you tell me if it's awkward? Would you ever

2082
02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:00,400
Speaker 1: think about making a reggae album? Oh my gosh, I love.

2083
02:13:00,600 --> 02:13:03,160
Speaker 1: I feel like I have a lot of reggae records

2084
02:13:03,200 --> 02:13:05,880
Speaker 1: that I've made that it's natural for me. This back

2085
02:13:05,960 --> 02:13:09,280
Speaker 1: to the soul vibe that we were talking about. It's

2086
02:13:09,320 --> 02:13:11,640
Speaker 1: such a soul that it's such an energy there. No

2087
02:13:11,800 --> 02:13:13,880
Speaker 1: one had a crazy reggae remix. You don't know my

2088
02:13:14,040 --> 02:13:17,200
Speaker 1: name at a crazy roots remix. There's so many songs

2089
02:13:17,240 --> 02:13:18,920
Speaker 1: that I have that I feel like that's natural. I

2090
02:13:19,320 --> 02:13:22,920
Speaker 1: actually think a reggae record would be like a zone

2091
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:24,800
Speaker 1: for me. So are you going to change your name

2092
02:13:24,840 --> 02:13:34,040
Speaker 1: like Snoop Lion? What would be? What Tiger? It would

2093
02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:42,400
Speaker 1: be Alicia Panther's. Yeah, for sure, I'm buying the album already, Panther.

2094
02:13:42,560 --> 02:13:46,120
Speaker 1: Let what's pretty smooth? What is your ultimate thank you?

2095
02:13:46,240 --> 02:13:50,839
Speaker 1: We ourselves? If we canna work with anybody dead or alive,

2096
02:13:51,160 --> 02:13:55,360
Speaker 1: who work with anybody? Who would it be? Let's pick three?

2097
02:13:55,680 --> 02:13:58,880
Speaker 1: All right? If it was anybody that are alive, I

2098
02:13:58,960 --> 02:14:05,440
Speaker 1: feel like it would be Kurt Cobain, I can see that.

2099
02:14:06,360 --> 02:14:13,040
Speaker 1: Nina Simone, Marvin Gays what an amazing wait wait I

2100
02:14:13,160 --> 02:14:17,800
Speaker 1: changed it. You go five, okay, Nina Simone, We're gonna

2101
02:14:17,800 --> 02:14:23,560
Speaker 1: go high five Marvin Gaye, big Gil. I feel like

2102
02:14:23,600 --> 02:14:35,360
Speaker 1: that would be so crazy. And Nipsy she's going Boba beyond,

2103
02:14:35,920 --> 02:14:39,800
Speaker 1: she's killing it. That's because I was late. That's fine,

2104
02:14:39,880 --> 02:14:42,800
Speaker 1: You've got me so coldly ship. That is a great

2105
02:14:44,280 --> 02:14:47,760
Speaker 1: that's a good list. That's all. And you know I

2106
02:14:47,880 --> 02:14:49,560
Speaker 1: was gonna say, but I felt like it was obvious.

2107
02:14:52,640 --> 02:14:56,720
Speaker 1: But I feel like Bob, Bob is so special, Like

2108
02:14:57,440 --> 02:15:00,400
Speaker 1: how can how can one person be so pro thinking,

2109
02:15:00,480 --> 02:15:04,760
Speaker 1: like so willing to share the truth? You know what

2110
02:15:04,840 --> 02:15:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean? And and and the thing about this is

2111
02:15:07,120 --> 02:15:10,760
Speaker 1: related to you because like it's certain records that you

2112
02:15:10,840 --> 02:15:14,160
Speaker 1: can drop at any moment, like you don't know, my

2113
02:15:14,320 --> 02:15:18,120
Speaker 1: name can drop right now and they'll be saying real

2114
02:15:18,640 --> 02:15:21,720
Speaker 1: like you make timeless like transcend yeah, like like like

2115
02:15:22,280 --> 02:15:24,280
Speaker 1: like when I listened to you, and I really did

2116
02:15:24,360 --> 02:15:27,280
Speaker 1: a study because, like I said, Jimmy ko Swiss is

2117
02:15:27,720 --> 02:15:29,760
Speaker 1: your husband and he's my friend. I didn't want to

2118
02:15:29,840 --> 02:15:31,520
Speaker 1: do my I wanted to do my due diligence, and

2119
02:15:31,600 --> 02:15:34,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to go, and I'm asking them questions, is

2120
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:37,280
Speaker 1: how I got the the the you would rate kwon

2121
02:15:37,560 --> 02:15:42,040
Speaker 1: being that I'm going in, I'm going in and I'm

2122
02:15:42,080 --> 02:15:48,600
Speaker 1: going in. But it's like, um, like you really make

2123
02:15:48,840 --> 02:15:51,640
Speaker 1: timeless music. So as I'm going through, because we had

2124
02:15:51,680 --> 02:15:53,880
Speaker 1: the at least the keys are centrals. This is the

2125
02:15:54,000 --> 02:15:58,640
Speaker 1: list of just your hits, and it's like when we

2126
02:15:58,800 --> 02:16:01,240
Speaker 1: listen to it, because that's what we do before artists

2127
02:16:01,280 --> 02:16:03,880
Speaker 1: walk in and we sit there and we're sitting here

2128
02:16:04,120 --> 02:16:06,280
Speaker 1: and we're all listening to it because we've all set

2129
02:16:06,360 --> 02:16:09,560
Speaker 1: up at three o'clock, so we all set over here three. Yeah,

2130
02:16:09,560 --> 02:16:14,800
Speaker 1: we're here at three. But it was like, damn, your

2131
02:16:14,920 --> 02:16:18,520
Speaker 1: music is really timeless, like you could have there's certain

2132
02:16:18,560 --> 02:16:20,800
Speaker 1: of your albums you could drop right now and it's

2133
02:16:20,800 --> 02:16:23,720
Speaker 1: still relevant, Like how the fund did you do that?

2134
02:16:24,040 --> 02:16:26,600
Speaker 1: And now are you doing it on purpose? Or I

2135
02:16:26,720 --> 02:16:28,680
Speaker 1: just like kind of what we kind of left off

2136
02:16:28,760 --> 02:16:31,880
Speaker 1: on it what you asked me. And I think you know,

2137
02:16:31,880 --> 02:16:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm not chasing anything. I'm not chasing a trend, I'm

2138
02:16:35,200 --> 02:16:37,920
Speaker 1: not tracing a sound, I'm not tracing anything. I'm I'm

2139
02:16:38,040 --> 02:16:40,440
Speaker 1: chasing the truth. You know, I'm chasing my truth, I'm

2140
02:16:40,520 --> 02:16:44,640
Speaker 1: chasing my honesty and just following that. So I think

2141
02:16:44,680 --> 02:16:48,959
Speaker 1: that that's what allows it to just be honest. When

2142
02:16:49,080 --> 02:16:51,760
Speaker 1: someone's honest, you can feel it forever. You know, it's

2143
02:16:51,800 --> 02:16:53,400
Speaker 1: like it don't matter. It's just like that was that

2144
02:16:53,560 --> 02:16:56,760
Speaker 1: person's feelings in that moment. So I feel like that's

2145
02:16:56,760 --> 02:16:58,480
Speaker 1: what it is. But I appreciate you saying that because

2146
02:16:58,520 --> 02:17:02,400
Speaker 1: that's actually a really big accomplishment. I didn't know that then.

2147
02:17:03,200 --> 02:17:05,840
Speaker 1: I realized that now, like when people can actually be

2148
02:17:06,360 --> 02:17:10,760
Speaker 1: six years old, twenty years old, thirty five years old,

2149
02:17:11,040 --> 02:17:13,680
Speaker 1: sixty five years old, and they can all relate to

2150
02:17:13,840 --> 02:17:17,640
Speaker 1: the same music, that's like, that's something. So I don't

2151
02:17:17,680 --> 02:17:19,800
Speaker 1: take that for granted. And let me just tell you something.

2152
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:29,480
Speaker 1: Your fans are very nice people. Yes, yes, yes, but

2153
02:17:30,400 --> 02:17:36,119
Speaker 1: I you know, I was so open when on Twitter. Yes,

2154
02:17:36,200 --> 02:17:40,880
Speaker 1: I was open on Twitter, and um, Twitter is the

2155
02:17:40,920 --> 02:17:45,080
Speaker 1: most evilest people in the world. So I go on

2156
02:17:45,200 --> 02:17:51,720
Speaker 1: Twitter and I say, we got Alicia. You know, you're

2157
02:17:51,760 --> 02:17:54,720
Speaker 1: the only person. That's why I said your fans, you're

2158
02:17:54,720 --> 02:17:57,760
Speaker 1: the only person with no negative comments for people were

2159
02:17:57,840 --> 02:17:59,400
Speaker 1: first off telling me I was lying, like you ain't

2160
02:17:59,440 --> 02:18:04,400
Speaker 1: got ever, and there was a leak there was you

2161
02:18:04,440 --> 02:18:07,440
Speaker 1: have a fan page on Twitter, it's like Alicia fans.

2162
02:18:07,520 --> 02:18:09,640
Speaker 1: And then they said it's rumored that she's gonna be

2163
02:18:09,680 --> 02:18:14,120
Speaker 1: on Drink Chams and everyone's like, yeah, you're fans this

2164
02:18:14,240 --> 02:18:20,200
Speaker 1: I know. No they real listen, I'm gonna tell you

2165
02:18:20,280 --> 02:18:24,360
Speaker 1: who else. It's Kanye and Little Wayne. Little Wayne has

2166
02:18:24,480 --> 02:18:30,720
Speaker 1: nice fans too. Yeah, they asked for permission, like they asked.

2167
02:18:30,760 --> 02:18:34,680
Speaker 1: They like, when's the next part of it? Dropping like, okay,

2168
02:18:36,680 --> 02:18:41,520
Speaker 1: you're fans, Like, no, no, you're fans. When I put

2169
02:18:41,959 --> 02:18:43,760
Speaker 1: and I popped the bottle of Asia Spaine and I said,

2170
02:18:43,800 --> 02:18:46,320
Speaker 1: we gotta be prepping for Alicia and I'm playing your

2171
02:18:46,400 --> 02:18:48,880
Speaker 1: music in the background, and they just hit me on

2172
02:18:48,959 --> 02:18:53,600
Speaker 1: the d M, like, yo, y'all her fans. Yes, they

2173
02:18:56,560 --> 02:18:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean in my mind, just let me ride my story.

2174
02:19:00,400 --> 02:19:04,720
Speaker 1: They were just like, yo, that's crazy that you got.

2175
02:19:05,440 --> 02:19:10,360
Speaker 1: And again, it's just like, I want to reiterate what

2176
02:19:10,480 --> 02:19:13,879
Speaker 1: your husband said. It's just like you're really that status

2177
02:19:13,959 --> 02:19:17,240
Speaker 1: where you can go do Gail King, you can go

2178
02:19:17,520 --> 02:19:21,640
Speaker 1: do Ellen Degeneral, you know, you can go do whoever

2179
02:19:21,800 --> 02:19:34,760
Speaker 1: the hell you want, but you picked drink Chick. I believe.

2180
02:19:34,840 --> 02:19:36,600
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I'm gonna say something this is.

2181
02:19:36,720 --> 02:19:38,960
Speaker 1: This is gonna sound weird, but just robbing me for

2182
02:19:39,080 --> 02:19:42,640
Speaker 1: the story because my mom's my mom's had never asked

2183
02:19:42,680 --> 02:19:45,520
Speaker 1: me to ever meet anybody in this game. And my

2184
02:19:45,640 --> 02:19:47,840
Speaker 1: mom's asked me to meet Big Pun and I told her,

2185
02:19:47,879 --> 02:19:50,800
Speaker 1: I said, mom, that will always be around. And I

2186
02:19:50,920 --> 02:19:53,840
Speaker 1: never did it. And I never got a chance to

2187
02:19:53,879 --> 02:19:56,720
Speaker 1: beat my mom's the Big Pun for this. It's another thing.

2188
02:19:56,840 --> 02:20:00,560
Speaker 1: My wife never asked me to be any artists, and

2189
02:20:00,680 --> 02:20:04,120
Speaker 1: she asked me to be Alicia and I like that,

2190
02:20:04,200 --> 02:20:07,040
Speaker 1: and I never got a chance. Look she's blushing over there.

2191
02:20:07,280 --> 02:20:09,600
Speaker 1: I never got a chance. I went to um there

2192
02:20:09,640 --> 02:20:11,920
Speaker 1: was an art basil show. I know, I pronounced our

2193
02:20:11,959 --> 02:20:17,120
Speaker 1: basil and you had just performed and he was in

2194
02:20:17,200 --> 02:20:19,120
Speaker 1: the back and I didn't get a chance to to

2195
02:20:19,600 --> 02:20:22,840
Speaker 1: do that. So today is my day of my wife

2196
02:20:22,920 --> 02:20:26,400
Speaker 1: and my girl came to and she if a girl

2197
02:20:27,160 --> 02:20:30,840
Speaker 1: come out for nothing. She was here and she wanted

2198
02:20:31,720 --> 02:20:36,560
Speaker 1: time to roster. Girl came out all the females because

2199
02:20:36,920 --> 02:20:47,440
Speaker 1: we really this is really daughter. Yeah. Randy AKA came

2200
02:20:47,480 --> 02:20:51,480
Speaker 1: out and he was managing and by the way, he

2201
02:20:51,600 --> 02:20:53,640
Speaker 1: was made a little mama. At that time, he was

2202
02:20:53,720 --> 02:20:56,520
Speaker 1: managing a little mama. I called him so much, y'all,

2203
02:20:59,480 --> 02:21:05,280
Speaker 1: what's going? But I called hippify million times, like with

2204
02:21:05,480 --> 02:21:08,480
Speaker 1: mad jokes I had sent to every men that ever

2205
02:21:08,680 --> 02:21:12,520
Speaker 1: was sent to me. I was like, not, this is

2206
02:21:12,600 --> 02:21:15,600
Speaker 1: the look this like, honestly, I'm gonna be honest. Yes, please,

2207
02:21:16,800 --> 02:21:22,280
Speaker 1: I have done those shows multiple times. I just have

2208
02:21:22,440 --> 02:21:24,800
Speaker 1: to say this is like, this is the vibe. Is

2209
02:21:25,800 --> 02:21:32,080
Speaker 1: this it's a real thing. I'm gonna take a shot

2210
02:21:32,120 --> 02:21:38,600
Speaker 1: to that. Yes, but Atlicia, let us just say something

2211
02:21:38,720 --> 02:21:43,800
Speaker 1: one more time. I really appreciate you showing us this

2212
02:21:43,959 --> 02:21:51,480
Speaker 1: love because again, it's bigger than a race thing or

2213
02:21:51,600 --> 02:21:53,920
Speaker 1: something like that. It's hip hop. Hip hop is to

2214
02:21:54,040 --> 02:21:58,520
Speaker 1: me its own race. I actually want to I actually

2215
02:21:58,560 --> 02:22:00,560
Speaker 1: want to get a job, Like I don't. I don't

2216
02:22:00,600 --> 02:22:02,200
Speaker 1: need a job, but I want to get a job.

2217
02:22:02,240 --> 02:22:06,520
Speaker 1: And they'd be like, what race, Chill, relax, it's my career, Relax.

2218
02:22:06,720 --> 02:22:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a job. And when they asked for

2219
02:22:10,200 --> 02:22:14,640
Speaker 1: the box to check, I want to check hip hop, like,

2220
02:22:18,920 --> 02:22:22,000
Speaker 1: because there's certain people we should started just doing that,

2221
02:22:22,840 --> 02:22:25,760
Speaker 1: started to push that that that's maybe white, there's certain

2222
02:22:25,760 --> 02:22:28,600
Speaker 1: people that that but then just as hip hop as me.

2223
02:22:28,959 --> 02:22:31,320
Speaker 1: But you know when when Michael Mex would say so called,

2224
02:22:31,959 --> 02:22:34,960
Speaker 1: so called, so called white man, so called black man,

2225
02:22:35,080 --> 02:22:38,320
Speaker 1: so called, I really that means something to me because

2226
02:22:38,360 --> 02:22:40,440
Speaker 1: it is a so called that's a name, that's names

2227
02:22:40,480 --> 02:22:43,920
Speaker 1: we've been given by whoever didn't care anything about us,

2228
02:22:44,000 --> 02:22:48,400
Speaker 1: any of us, whichever so called we became. So that's

2229
02:22:48,400 --> 02:22:51,040
Speaker 1: not so called human. Let's come on, let's just go

2230
02:22:51,160 --> 02:22:53,960
Speaker 1: back to the basics. That's for sure. I love that.

2231
02:22:54,120 --> 02:22:58,080
Speaker 1: Let's go, cheers, Let's go. What is that is that?

2232
02:23:00,440 --> 02:23:02,720
Speaker 1: I actually went back to this one just for safety.

2233
02:23:03,720 --> 02:23:05,400
Speaker 1: Mama wanna will take care of you. Trust Now, I

2234
02:23:05,480 --> 02:23:08,520
Speaker 1: gotta taste delicious. I just wanted to sake. The mixing

2235
02:23:08,680 --> 02:23:14,000
