When I was there, I actually 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.000 got the witness. If you don't know what the funk 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:52.880 I'm talking about, we're talking about the legendary. Now. We 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.320 want to take it from the beginning because you, um, 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.000 you guys are part of the rich history of the South. 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.800 You know I'm saying not only just ANTL. I want 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.160 to I want to broaden the view because at first 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.280 I was coming from New York. Um, we looked at 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.320 the South and really like Miami at the forefront because 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.960 of you know you guys, and like Uncle Luke was doing. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.359 So let's take it from the beginning. How how did 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.480 you get started? Just in the music period, it's a 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:26.760 good mob before Dungeon family or Dungeon family, then Goody Mob. Yeah, um, 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.840 initially we we we considered everyone in the Goody Moody 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.600 was it was a street name, um uh from yeah, 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.720 I knowld you from our neighborhood. His name is Big Glynn. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.079 We call him Big Duddy. He was the one that 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.960 coined that the name Goody Mob. So it was a crew. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.359 Uh Coojo was a part of that crew. So what 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.440 they would do was, you know, put their goods in 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.799 the um the Crown Royal bags, a little purple bag 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.400 that was like they flavored what of them? And you 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.600 know what I'm saying. So it was you know, you know, 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.800 it was like goodie bags. So they call him up 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.040 to pepon Goody Mob. So I got got, so, I got, 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.639 I gotta credit them, and I'm saying like as the 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.200 original of the name, you know. And then that that 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.240 eventually evolved over into uh the art the art form 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.639 you know, um of where Cool Joe and Timo from 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.440 Goody Mob. They began as a as a local group 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.560 called the Numberjacks, you know what I'm saying, and the 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.079 gift Big gilt Uh. He was a part of another 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.040 crew called the East Point Train Gang, including uh Cool Breeze. 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.520 So Cool Breeze is a gentleman that coin the friends 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.880 Dirty South you know, what I'm saying. So when you 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.600 when you look for anybody, for anybody is the first one. 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.800 So when you when you when you look at history 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.400 of you, if you go back, Uh, that Soul Food album, 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.160 it was kind of broken up into into into working parts. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.800 Uh Lumberjacks could not put any of their prior recorded 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.880 music on that album because they were going through the 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.480 gations with former management.

Okay, so let's go 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:01.520 back okay, um, so wait so really quick just from 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.960 my knowledge because I'm a big fan of everything y'all done, 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.200 so goody Morvis. Before Dungeon Family all happened at the 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.599 same time. It was all happening at the same time. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:15.680 Uh almost you know, pretty much simultaneously, you know what 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:20.240 I mean, like overanized noise. Rico Wade, Sleepy Brown, Ray Murray, Uh, 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.800 Sleepy Brown and and Rico Wade were part of a 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.680 dance troupe called Guests. See back then, Um, the sensation 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.240 in the city was talent shows. You know what I'm 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.040 saying that it was. It was really like real old school. 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:33.440 This was before gun play and all of that. So 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.320 it was talent shows and it was and it was 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.520 rival high schools and big cart fights. So we went 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.599 to May's high bench when he made his high school 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.440 and I would rival high school was was Douglass High 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.359 Fresher Duglas High. So like you know, after the football 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.080 game or whatever. It saying like it would be like 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.240 the movie outside Us. So like a real real old 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.960 fashional round boat type ship. So they went from that. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.200 From so Rico Wait and Sleeper Brown they were they 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.360 were they were like you know, neighborhood that get old 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.000 superstar for being dancers. And then they eventually, you know, 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:04.680 like one of your production I actually got one of 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:10.240 the original Dungeon families first, you know, uh kawan, I'm saying, 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.480 getto Vision, Discovered tea, all of that, you know what 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.080 I'm saying. But anyway, it's so much to the story. 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.280 The Dungeon family house, right the house a legendary house. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.400 Is that where all the music started from because the 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.480 big big boy just buying that house or something like that. 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.880 Big Budget's recently purchased the house and it's it's being 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.760 completely overdone and renovated. And you know, we were kind 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.120 of like in the talks with another little upstart company 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.280 that's doing it's called Hip Hop Tools of Atlanta. I'm 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:36.760 not sure. I'm not sure that the business is gonna 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.840 work out, but they were doing tours, you know, so 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.240 just trying to keep it like like monuments. Doesn't anybody 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.280 he was going to try to up as a monument 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:51.440 talking about our coming like the king there or something like, Yeah, 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.360 I didn't even think of that, that's all. So so 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.280 I'm gonna trying. I'm gonna try to fast forward, trying 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.120 to make it actually make it actually I'm ass up 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.840 because what I really meant was was organized noise before God, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.240 That's really what I meant. The organized noise of the 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.080 producer production comes from the production crew. Okay, people knew them, 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.640 but there was it's because they were dancers. They were 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.240 part of a dance group called guess you know what 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.000 I'm saying. So there was like they were like damn, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.320 it was like you know what I mean. So there 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:23.600 was dancers and that was the thing, you know what 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.400 I mean, Like if you could dance, you could dress, 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.680 and you can fight. That was even more play sports 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.600 or whatever. Let me bounce around for a little bit. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.439 So what something kind of listic playlistic comes out. That 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.079 was that like the first gym with like now now 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.120 the South is being viewed or it still was like 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:46.480 hard after that because like explained like for us queens 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.360 was having a hard time right, But where NAS came 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.360 out with Allmatic for those couple of years, it was 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.800 like it was cool because people it's like you pulled 0:08:55.840 --> 0:09:01.439 our something me from being from Miami. Like we had 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.120 this thing where we wanted to represent ourselves lyrically out 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.800 of Miami hip hop ship. So we had like an 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.360 artists named Mother Superio. She got shoved by Alan music 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.000 had different artists and we could never really represent ourselves lyrically, 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.920 and I felt like outcast. That album was that for 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.679 for Atlanta? I mean, that's what it looked like to me. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.880 But see we there was the time with the Atlanta 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.280 what they called Atlanta a little Miami, you know what 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.199 I'm saying. So with the MC shot is the Groucci 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.280 cruise hold that we had that synergy between each other, 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:32.880 you know what I mean, like so we we you know, 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:40.800 even I didn't even do it, yeah, you know, just 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:48.439 for Ricky still have so I think, like we we're 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:52.520 not gonna be midway point, you know, literally between Florida 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.760 the bottom of it, you know, and we called the bottom, 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.040 right I'm saying. So we had we we were, we 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.240 had both of the influences. You know what I'm saying 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.040 That it's a trip how comes back around full circle 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.480 because you know what what was electro pop or whatever 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.040 whatever it was considered? What when African ban body and soul? 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:14.120 So the force did it basically ultimately we called it 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.240 skating rink music, you know what, like and then it 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.160 ultimately evolved into Miami. Bas So it's kind of really 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.880 all of the same, you know what I'm saying, like, 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.679 but lyrically, you know, we we were I mean obviously 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.160 man like you know, affected and inspired by by East 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.400 Coast and in raw boom back East Coast hip hop, 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.240 and what I'm saying so lyrically, I'm glad that you 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.960 said that because we I know I'm speaking for myself, 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:37.319 but I think a lot of us really felt like 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.559 our first wants to truly represent lyrically was either eight 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.120 Ball and m j G out of Memphis and Poison 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:56.040 Clan like yes, yes yourself before Devin Air, Devin and 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:57.920 J Money, and then we did a group called Home 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:04.760 Team as well.

Didn't you say did 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.520 you know that everyone would would essentially be stars when 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:13.679 your guys was coming up or not necessarily? Um? I 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.880 felt that, Um, as far as that Nana was concerned, 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.199 we were the most um authentic you know what I mean, 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:26.040 incredible with that that first offer in Southern playlists contact 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.640 music without cares, I mean, because you know the you know, 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.760 and this is not to discredit those who came before 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.319 us where they to be criss cross the rest of 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.480 development of Brad you know what I mean? Like shot 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.400 all right, I'm saying you feel me like it's all 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.520 relative and I'm saying like, um, but as far as 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.520 row rap and lyricism, you know what I mean, and 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.559 just showing that that that range, you know, you know 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.880 we would we would have first know what I'm saying. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.880 I felt like it was like the cold question brothers 0:13:52.920 --> 0:14:00.760 like the South, you know, girls bounce around the little bit. Now. 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.800 I think last year or the year before, I'm not 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.719 sure you had a video that went viral like that. 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.280 He was on the phone right, and everyone was like, 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.839 what the fun is going home? Studio? He was calling you. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.920 I had six different numbers on you. Everyone. It didn't work, 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.840 Like everyone like what exactly happened to the people that 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.480 that that didn't see your explanation? All right? I was 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.480 I was working on an independent project and it was 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.480 meant to be kind of like a mix tape or 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.360 an EP, you know, kind of kind of kind of 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.880 thing of where it was to be held held over 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.280 until we could finish the novels Rockley Record, because we 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.800 was having schedule of differences. So I called it Gnarlie Davidson, right, 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.280 So it was a part of it. And I said, okay, um, 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.560 around the time, it was the Samsung phones and that 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:54.080 was a real thing. It was a real issue with people, right, 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.960 but it was a current event. So I said, okay, 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.160 let me try to pull from that. And it's like, 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.600 how do how do these superhero it has come about, 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.560 you know, by with some type of trauma, something traumatic happens. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.000 What I mean, like you know, you know, you get 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.520 hit with a Gamma ray, you get big bout spite 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.080 or whatever happened. And I'm saying so like I'm like, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.480 all right, so let's use this real life thing and 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.280 make and make the video where it's believable for that, 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.480 for that that have a long we can catch it 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:23.280 out and then dropped and dropped the project because because 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:27.520 they played out of order. What when I was sending 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.600 it to the special effects people's we was going through passes, okay, 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.680 like turn the smoke up on this, so like that, 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.160 blah blah blah blah blah. We was just kind of 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.680 color correcting and all that kind of stuff, and one 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:39.680 of them leaked, like in one of the emails leak, 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.800 so you know, um, some some blogs and HTM got 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.840 hold to it and to like and blast it off 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.560 with it. So initially because it's meant that I'm thinking 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.840 I'm doing something, it's a stunt out of just I'm 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.880 thinking it's gonna be funny to people. I'm thinking they're 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.280 gonna know what's ridiculous. Is going like okay, great, but no, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.080 no people will. So you gotta understand, bro, it's a 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:02.120 difference between hearing something happened to your people, see right, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.080 So with that, man, it was funny for the first 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.040 little while, but my phone was only like so I 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.480 got I got a phone calls from everybody from ice 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:15.720 Cube to the Minnster Lowis Fradka was Sam something worried 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.520 because that's for everybody. Anybody's like to get the right now, 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:26.480 like like oh yeah, that's man. Then want nothing to 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:31.720 do something like you said, it wasn't all pH So 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:36.240 that's what happened, man. So that was Christmas time, uh 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.680 that whatever year that was, I think it was like 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.120 a year or so ago. And then the Grammys didn't 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.680 play out until that following February. So what it was 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.600 meant to do was to hit the Friday of the Grammys, 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.640 you know what, Like I go to the red carpet 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:50.240 and boom. I don't know if you saw the other 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.440 stunt I did where I went and I crashed the 0:16:53.520 --> 0:17:01.720 like I got transforming from other work. But can I 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.440 tell your a dopes some dope about that. The whole thing. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.080 It didn't work out because, like you know what, the 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.800 time elapsed to me, like and people just really didn't 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.639 take too well to being you know, you know, like 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.119 along in that kind of way, like people really And 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.480 the funny thing about it is I got a chance 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.280 to see how much love I had out That's for 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.280 sure what I'm saying but the project didn't work. What 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.639 I'm saying, like, you know, but what was dope about it? 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:30.000 The research was so you know what I mean, it 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.080 works so well, you know as far as coverage. Um 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.000 nor the only one who ain't seeing it. I got 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:41.199 that that it works so well with as far as coverage. 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.119 Marvel Comics reached out to me and we said, we 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.199 said down with it. Yeah, we sat down with their 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.960 with their JV division, and we had to create off 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.920 of that character. They wanted to make it an official 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:56.800 Marvel comic. If the ship had if the deal had 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:00.320 it went right, I would have been on endgame. You 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.439 know what I'm saying. But I'll tell you what happened. 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:07.800 It would have been your name the world that the 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.600 name of it was Narlie Davidson. All right, but you know, 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.720 you gotta think Marvel, you gotta take Disney, you gotta 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.000 think Harley Davidson. Nobody would have been that. They probably 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.000 would have had to revive the name. You know what 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:21.160 I'm saying, um, But you know what they were saying, 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.720 was they I a hero. I want to be smoke 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:30.080 a lot. Yeah, smoke smoke villages. I saw me throw 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.040 up soft crowds and smoking ball smoking you might be 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:41.560 coust baby came it was made out of It's made 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.760 out of burning weed and ship you know what like 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.040 like like you know how like like a smoke beat 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.119 you too? Whatever he got smoke a lot. He got 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.720 spoke a lot was the wrapper. He wasn't a superhero 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.879 in half bag. But I'm gonna be think like like 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.280 I'm gonna just walk in. It's gonna be and then 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.000 like my cake gonna you burning like people want big 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.320 them on fire all the time. I'm but it's just 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:08.040 I'm sorry, but that's crazy that you could have been. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.439 But what they were saying was it would have been 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.240 historic because it would have been the first of where 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.399 a character was based on a real living beings. But 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.200 the trick to that is living beings, you know, prone 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:20.960 to liability. And know what I'm saying, you people so 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.440 like you know, they you know it's not infoliable, so 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.119 they couldn't do They don't want to risk it. You 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:34.679 like the mcgallo. I've just been seeing the mcgallowa dogs. 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:40.199 But not to be totally honest, I'm a little I'm 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.960 a little ignorant and wouldn't actually on the origin of 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.080 a where it comes from? Yea, I would have been 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.800 seen in the last few years. It's like Holliway party 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.760 for the yeah yeah. But because I love to see people, 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.080 you know what I'm saying, like be fly and the 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.720 individuals and and you know, like you know fashion of 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.440 course is it's a fashion that the art so y'all know. 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.480 I like when a wild ship too, So like I'd 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.320 like to see people do their thing? How did you 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.080 develop that? That's what that's my next question is because 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.040 when you look at the origin from me where you 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:14.719 outcast Goody move Dungeon family in general, guys are from 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:16.480 the hood. You guys are from them the deep deeps 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.560 out guys from them. What you guys have the ability 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.359 to make music that brings you to these other genres 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.119 and you're able to to mix with those other crowds. 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.000 Like you know what I'm saying, like, how did you 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:34.359 develop that? Well? To be totally honest, man, like the 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.520 my my my personal taste. The first thing I ever 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.680 loved was rock and roll and heavy metal. That's you 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.720 know same here. I I love rocking roll. I talked 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.000 about it on drink Chairs before, like Iron made it 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:52.720 and coming out, coming out, coming out. I'm glad you 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:54.800 started with Iron Maiding because Bruce Jakerson is one of 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:59.120 my favorite ARTI sakers favorite front Bruce Jakinson, Ronnie James Deal, 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:04.919 you know, um Rob Halford from Judas Priest. Yeah, we met, 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:07.359 We got the same management. I'm friends with all my 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:09.719 rock but hip hop tris to be scared to talk 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.200 about this. I don't know. I like pet Floyd, Yeah, 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:19.480 of course that's funny. Man. I got a friend of 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:20.840 mine who was at the sono with me in the 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:22.920 building and he showed me a clipper when he was 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:25.639 sound checking. I don't know how he got this access, 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.320 but David Gilmore, you know, was sound checking and he 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.840 was playing crazy. I'm saying, so I I just got 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:37.520 to do that. I played for you after to answer 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.239 your question, you know what I mean. Like GiB had 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:42.080 a good answer to Like. Another thing that was big 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:44.280 for us when we was kids in Atlanta was wrestling, 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.959 so like you know, um, like it's a couple of um. 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:52.280 I love the Road Warriors, the British Bulldogs or Road Warrior, 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:55.639 Ultimate Warrior, Groldwards, it was Animal and Hulk. Okay, you 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.040 know what I'm saying. So what I'm rick play of course. 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:00.800 So what I'm basically saying is that costume in that 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.479 pageant tree like I mean like it was kind of normal, 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.199 you know what I'm saying. And then you know, um, 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.280 but and then me on the soulfa side, big band side, 0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:13.520 earth Win didn't fire, not liking those people put so 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:17.720 much into the presentation, you know what I'm saying. So, um, 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.160 I thought that that was you know that I felt 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:21.760 like that was a standard and I mean like you know, 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:23.960 like you know what I'm saying, um, and when you 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:25.359 speak to you in such a way, I felt like 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.320 it belonged to me in order to kind of you know, 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:30.439 carry you on a tradition and you know, as an artist. Right. 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:34.000 So then George Clinton christened us the Young Parliament Fadulic. 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.000 So that's really the bottom line. He was like yo, 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:41.520 y'all of us. I mean like he acidly just like 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:52.080 everything A lot of drugs. That's kind of super am 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:53.600 I saying that? Right? I think you so that, like 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:56.119 I want to say at all, I mean because I 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.119 was looking at your line and I and people was like, 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.800 oh ship about them, Like Nick, It's like, yo, a 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:03.200 bunch of dope questions. I said, Damn, I want to 0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.480 make sure I know. One of the eldest questions that 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:09.600 people keep asking was how did it feel to be 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:13.480 a singer in the group? And then then another question 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:18.000 and asked was wrapping wise, did you feel you as 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:21.040 better than I don't know why, but that Cressy came 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:26.000 up so much like like like I would imagine competition wise, 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:29.000 you guys are truing teas you would feel you're better 0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:33.760 than the next one. To be totally honest, I felt 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:36.760 like we were. We we also called ourselves the x 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:42.560 men and I mean so allectively. Yeah, we we did. 0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:45.280 We did a g Q photo spread as the x 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:51.400 men um. And that's to say that everybody is signified 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:58.760 by their own special and unique power. Now I made 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:02.560 up some ship. I was whoever it was like, you know, 0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:08.760 but I was powerful now but now so like it 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:10.880 wasn't that kind of competition. We felt like we were 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.159 we were supporting each other, like you know what I mean, 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:15.240 Like it was a real family vibe. Me and dre 0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:17.040 Go all the way back to the third grade. Man, 0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:18.399 like we are a lot of us, A few of 0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:20.480 us know each other longer, like that's probably one of 0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:22.960 the longer relationships in the entire Dunge family. But then again, 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:24.879 I grew with Timo. He's a little bit of us, 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:26.440 strewed over from me, and I'm saying, like he's three 0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:28.480 years older than me. But you know, he graduated with 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:30.200 my sister Saw. I had always seen him, you know, 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:33.520 all my whole life, you know, but no, man like, 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:35.960 it was never that kind of competition. But you know, 0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:38.359 I will say this for the record, killing Mike if 0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.000 we mentioned him, and he's a he's a a real 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:42.800 grand I'm seeing my opinion and I'm saying that you're 0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:45.960 feeling a lot of people's opinions. Great person over all around. 0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:49.200 But um he said in the g Q interview that 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:50.960 he thought I was the best side of the Dungeon family. 0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:53.280 Did you know that, KP. Yeah, he said that. So 0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:54.760 that's saim we have probably at the end of you 0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:56.879 asked him. But I never thought like that. I just 0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:59.280 when I think about family, when I think about crew, 0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:01.119 I just come to play my position, you know what 0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:02.840 I'm saying, Like you played to my strength, you know 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:04.639 what I mean. Like, so I'm just going to be 0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:06.639 a soldier for it. That's it. So the second part 0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:10.000 of the question they asked this was the most question, 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:12.080 is how did it feel to be like a singer 0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:16.639 like slash R and B or Arts. But I asking 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:18.800 this because it was the most repeated I know that 0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:22.200 you're motherfucking r care mother. Yeah, I think that's well, 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:23.960 I know, I just wanted I mean, it was the 0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:27.480 most asked question. I actually literally looked at all my garments, 0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:29.920 so I just gotta ask it. How did it feel 0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:32.119 to be a singer in the Cruel MCS? Yeah, I 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:37.280 wasn't MC and the Crewe MCS, you know, so they 0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:39.400 just got to go back and do the history obviously, 0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:43.280 you know, but I think it's I think it's kind 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.440 of like, you know what, you would have realized that 0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:48.199 that everybody's got metal, everybody could sing like dre ended up, 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:50.200 you know, spreading his wings and a lot of the 0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:52.040 times when we performed like you know, let Mena tell 0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:54.600 you something like I've been That's been a part of 0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:57.600 my repertoire from the beginning, like even from UTFO, you know, 0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:05.800 forcing D's you know what I mean, dude, she was 0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:09.040 kidding you my body, so you know you got how 0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:11.440 you got them? High school Sweetheart songs like it was 0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:14.119 a song by ut Phone called Fairytale Level yea that 0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:18.000 record man, Yeah, you know so it was that kind 0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:19.879 of stuff. It was new edition. It was all so 0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:25.120 like a girl that I swei, you know what I'm saying. 0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:32.440 I still think I'm realized, you know what I'm saying. 0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:34.239 But now like so all of that, I'm referencing all 0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:37.640 that to say, it's all just you know, uh and acknowledgement. 0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:39.080 I'm saying, you feel me. I just say, man like 0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:40.800 if you got if you got an you man, just 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:43.119 do what you can. I'm saying, you feel me. Um, 0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:47.040 you know so I felt I felt very natural thought 0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:48.840 you know what I'm saying, because I asked how people 0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:51.320 do it so well? And so you know so um 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:57.200 far before me. Scott recently sampled you right travel Scott 0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:03.119 in the Travis E. Sample sell Therapy, one of the 0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:07.040 craziest records ever, super classic and hip hop. You're just 0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:09.119 about to say something. You know, this is a thing 0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:10.960 like I feel like and I don't think that you 0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:15.879 can relate to this being from you excub me all 0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:24.640 the time, like coming out of the South and trying 0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.040 to do the lyrical route. Did you, because this is 0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:29.840 the thing that always rings to me is when Outcast 0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:32.200 was at the source of awards saying what they said 0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:36.199 about the South, the South has something set right? Did 0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:38.320 you y'all come with that? Like when y'all were in 0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:40.640 the studio, were all thinking about like we're gonna represent 0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:44.000 lyrically or was it as natural? Like what was it? 0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:47.960 What was the mind frame y'all in the booth? I 0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:51.000 think naturally, when you're a fan, you kind of liking 0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:52.960 yourself to your favorite you know what I mean, like 0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:55.680 and you kind of you kind of grow up. I 0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:59.399 mean like you know, or you or you you you 0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.520 live like obiously through you know, you know I mean 0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:03.800 like you trained spark. Let mean, like you know, like 0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:05.880 what you're listening Palette, you know, I mean, if you will, 0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:07.840 so you know, we was just taught by the best, 0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:09.399 you know what I'm saying, Like, you know my you know, 0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:12.359 my favorite see of all time is Mellie mel You 0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:14.240 know what I'm saying. His rhyme at the end of 0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:17.280 the Street is the best rhyme ever written in history 0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:20.720 and Mellie Mell beating Nigga asked, that's what I'm saying. 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:27.680 Gangsters like we need on the podcast let me it's 0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:29.719 in the middle of the Bronx man life with spikes 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:35.000 on another I wasn't that just spoke to me, you know, 0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:37.399 that's that's something that that in hip hoply. You know, 0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:39.720 the last couple of years, a lot of the artists 0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:44.440 been dressing like, you know, a little weird. And I've 0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:49.600 removing myself from comment in because I remember those days 0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:52.720 Mellie mel and these guys with the spikes and you 0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:56.600 know what I'm saying type chokers like I feel like outcast. 0:28:56.720 --> 0:29:00.040 And Andre specifically, I was doing that and he I 0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:02.600 remember it was an interview I don't know somewhere where 0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:06.120 he said, I'm just mimicking. Uh, he say, wants to 0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:10.440 look like the music. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That makes sense man. 0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:15.520 You know, um, I don't know. It's it's it's entertainment man. 0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:17.320 It's just really like all for fun. Like I said, 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.320 if you gotta na man, you definitely should go for it, 0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:21.280 you know. I mean, like I I didn't think it 0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:22.720 would have spoke to me in that way if if 0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:24.360 it didn't feel natural to me like I mean, like 0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:25.920 it would it would have never spoke to me. But 0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:30.000 you say, it's entertained. But Goody Mob's material was very 0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:33.840 serious about like, yeah, we're talking to things that today 0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:38.520 on Donald Trump's eerra we could relate back to to 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:42.360 that album. No, you're right, You're right, so first album. Yeah, definitely, 0:29:42.560 --> 0:29:44.640 Like because I was about to say that, you know, 0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:47.200 as a crew, as a large collective, we and and 0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:49.480 coming from what we were coming from, feeling the biased 0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:52.400 you know what I'm saying. Uh, you know I've said 0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:54.040 this on a number of occasions too, of where we 0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:57.720 wanted to distinguish the difference between being Southern and being country. 0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:01.640 You know, like we took country is condescending, you know 0:30:01.640 --> 0:30:03.920 what I'm saying, Like, so like it was, but in 0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:06.520 terms of social politics as well, I mean like we 0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:08.720 felt like we wanted to be counted. We felt like 0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:10.880 we were fighting for the civil rights of southern hip 0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:13.480 hop as well. That's why the narrative was what it was. 0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.920 But you know, we but the fashion statement is to 0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:19.880 to flaut them sling, like you know what I mean, Like, uh, 0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:22.320 you know, it's almost it's like it's a dad if 0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:25.040 you will. I mean, I like to consider it is 0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:27.080 that because like you know, like you know, we were 0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:29.360 hands on as well. All of that you feel me, 0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:35.680 So let's describe, Um, you're part of goody Mall. It's uh, 0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:48.400 guys are because I don't know. There's so many shows 0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:52.120 where people they want to give people their flowers after 0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:55.720 they they can't smother. We want to give all people. 0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:59.120 There should be no way shapeful fashion. And I can't 0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:01.120 tell you how much I appreciate you to your face. 0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.160 Thank you. Bro. Let's say, bro, we're a fan. We'd 0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:06.280 be a fan of youth at all. Seventeen of your 0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:11.040 career is like at Jamaican we are we are part 0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:13.560 of you. We we support you whether you're there or 0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:16.400 you're not. When you're not around, we speak about you 0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:18.640 highly and we want you to know to your face 0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:21.080 that you're a legend. We meet so much to hip 0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:22.520 hop and we want to tell you to your face. 0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:25.360 I just saw a little it's that water bella rock, 0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:32.280 you know what I'm saying. At So I gonna immediately 0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:34.320 want another one. I'm just gonna throw it. You didn't 0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:38.640 relax immediately want another, so it goes down. It did 0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:41.160 definitely did hit me a little bit later. Okay, So 0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:45.440 it comes to time where you're saying not leave GOODIEMM, 0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:48.760 but you want to step outside. I think you're always 0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:53.320 good him mob though it's y'all can do your different things, 0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:55.520 but you always good h mob. Man. We we just 0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:58.640 got off to right. Yeah, we've been to You can 0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:02.800 describe that moment when you like, because it comes to 0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:04.480 time when you have to step out on your own 0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:07.479 and you and obviously you wanted to do that. Obviously 0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:11.400 the music industry pulled you towards doing that, So so 0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:14.800 can we describe that moment for the people that don't know. Yeah, 0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:17.000 we was gonna we was just having um, sorry to 0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:19.080 cut you off because people from New York we started 0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:21.160 looked at that and see you by yourself at times 0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:23.480 like oh we thought of a describancy. We thought it 0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:25.360 was something that happened, you know what I'm saying. So 0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:29.400 I probably I'm gonna cut you off as a precursor. 0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:32.719 I feel like you what you did with Nols Barkley 0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:35.360 is a precursor to Run the Jewels and everything that 0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:40.720 came after that. Agree, And so sorry, um no, um, 0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:43.680 let's see kind of can I recall it like it 0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:48.880 was just a real simple, uh difference of professional opinion. 0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.400 And I'm saying like and and musical taste at that 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:54.800 point after we had you know, been very fortunate to 0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:57.360 have three consecutive gold records, you know, just like you 0:32:57.400 --> 0:32:59.800 know the last one. You know, we were really at 0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:02.440 all it's been creatively, you know what I'm saying. And 0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:05.320 you know, I was just kind of getting you know, 0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:08.240 a little you know, impatient. I think, you know, I'm saying, 0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:10.520 you feel me like I felt like I had something 0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:12.680 else that I was capable of, and I mean like, 0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:14.760 but I needed to commit to it. I needed an 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.480 opportunity to and I needed to support dooring. So you 0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:20.040 know what I'm saying, that's what I expected. I didn't 0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:21.920 realize that that, you know, like it would you know, 0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:25.000 be any kind of discord and I'm sort of disconnect. 0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:28.200 I just thought it would be a testament to our elasticity, 0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:30.600 show how far we could stretch. It's a big word 0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:33.840 with the Bok saying at least I've got to use that. 0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:38.400 I don't even know what it means, but I'm no elasticity. 0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:44.680 I'm gonna show I won't get somebody because I lasted. 0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:57.000 But so I'm basically saying that to say it really 0:33:57.160 --> 0:33:58.960 wasn't sufference like you know what I mean, Like it 0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:03.080 was just stretched, you know what I mean? And and 0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:06.280 then then you have to see the album, so absolutely, 0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:09.520 and then you know there's growing pain you feel me? Now, 0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:13.920 was there like discripancies on that, like because when you 0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:15.880 did this so album wasn't still on the face or 0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:19.640 was it? Yeah, what happened on the on the paper side, 0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:23.319 on the label side, Um yeah we me and get 0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:26.960 paid both gotten solo deals with the face. Yeah. Well 0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:28.960 actually as a matter of fact, it was when l 0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:31.200 A read What's Up shout out to the Gulf for 0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:37.160 the l all on Um, I think he was just 0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:41.640 making that that that transition over to ANSTA. So you know, 0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:44.000 norm of Jackson was coming more from the grid, so 0:34:44.040 --> 0:34:47.080 which is cool. Join Timo and they wanted to do independently, 0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:48.759 so that was their decision. Hey we just want to 0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:52.960 go independent, you know, Um, you know, gives a motherfucking 0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:54.320 rock star and know what I'm saying, like you know, 0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:57.120 and um, you know he they he definitely had a 0:34:57.160 --> 0:34:58.920 shot because if you think about it, black, I just 0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:02.719 want to buy a bigger single like without without Dre 0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:05.080 and being on it. It's a it's a gift solo song. 0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:07.719 My soul was dirty South without cool breeze on it. 0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:10.000 So everybody was always geared up for Gift to be 0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:12.800 you know, like you know, like you know, like a 0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:15.720 big star, big deal you feel me and represent the Dungeon. 0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:18.359 So with that, I mean like he got a solo shot. 0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:20.560 You know, I think I was the last to really 0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:24.880 kind of blossom at least. But I'm just I don't know, 0:35:24.960 --> 0:35:27.920 I'm I'm modest in that. But but but did you like? 0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:30.320 Because you know, because sometimes you know, when you go 0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:33.960 do that, you know that other move and it's successful 0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:38.080 for you, you look as if you like this your brother? 0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:41.839 Are you leaving it? Like? Did you ever like? Because 0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:44.080 because a lot of people, like for instance, with me, 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:46.759 a lot of people didn't realize Capon was locked up 0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:49.440 when I started my solo thing, So there was so 0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:52.520 many rumors saying, oh, you know, Nori went and he 0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:54.919 did because so many people didn't have Internet, people didn't 0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:58.880 identify that my partner was literally in jail, so to 0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:02.200 the masses, it looked like people in the area. And 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:04.160 then I got greedy and then I went on home. 0:36:04.200 --> 0:36:07.479 Did you ever see I went through it big time? 0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:11.439 You know what I'm saying? But um, it was really 0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:14.880 all agreeable. Let me like, you know, like initially you 0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:16.719 know what I'm saying, But then the reality does set 0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:18.840 in and you get you know, to a point of 0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:20.759 where you're supplying to the man. You can't be two 0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:22.880 places at one time, you know what I'm saying. So 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:26.120 scheduling was conflicting. I'm saying like we were having some success, 0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:29.319 you know, and we would have some having some defaulted, 0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:31.400 you know what I mean, like you know kind of 0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:34.920 you know, you know, ill ill kind of energy and 0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:36.399 I mean like you know, and it was just something 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:39.000 that circumstantial. I don't think it was intentional on nobody part. 0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:41.640 I'm saying, you feel me, But yeah, we went through it. 0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:44.640 We went through it definitely, you know. And I mean 0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:48.760 I went on to to to you know, to share 0:36:48.800 --> 0:36:50.520 in the success. What I'm saying, you feel me like 0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:51.920 you know what I mean, Like when I was doing 0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:57.400 a whole different crowd, like, yeah, the Danger Amounts project, 0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:00.800 Like how does that happen? Does that happened? It's just 0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:06.040 people are saving PEP we're talking about I was gonna 0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:11.960 see those first. People don't know that Danger Mouse is 0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:15.439 from Atlanta, Okay, I didn't even know, yeah, And I'm saying, 0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:17.200 like people thought that he was some kids I found 0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:20.879 overseas or something like that, you know, but that wasn't 0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:23.920 the case. And I mean, like you know, we did 0:37:24.000 --> 0:37:25.839 we bumped into each other. If this is I'm trying 0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:29.920 to make this story short, you know. So look, we 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:37.320 was doing we don't mind, because we was doing the 0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:40.640 outcast video showing you g a you know, in Athens, Georgia. 0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:43.480 So um, it was pouring down and I remember this 0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:46.480 day and he had on a hoodie and he gave 0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:48.560 me a CD. The CD was called Pelican City, and 0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:50.279 I'm just referencing it so people can go back and 0:37:50.360 --> 0:37:52.239 do the knowledge, you know, then check it out. When 0:37:52.239 --> 0:37:54.520 I'm saying, you feel me so, but I really didn't 0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:56.719 pay any attention. There was another homeboy in my name, 0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:59.719 Trick from Appens, whose you know, parents had done well. 0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:02.120 He's this oil kid. He wanted to get into you know, 0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:05.360 uh promoting, uh, you know, the hip hop shows. That 0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:07.520 was his first show. And so he brought me back 0:38:07.560 --> 0:38:10.160 down to actors and he actually reintroduced me to Danger. 0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:13.680 So Danger was working on another project with a kid 0:38:13.760 --> 0:38:15.840 named Jim and I called Dames Mess and Jim and I. 0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:18.399 So he said, look, we got in the studio one day. 0:38:18.400 --> 0:38:21.719 He said, yeah, um, do do I want you to 0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:24.080 do on you know, on this remix for us? So 0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:25.960 I did the remix and we did the sessions, like 0:38:26.040 --> 0:38:28.279 all right. He said like, yo, do you mind if 0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:29.840 I play you a couple of things? And I was 0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:32.200 like cool. So he played me some. He played me 0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:36.200 this ill ship. So he goes on to play all 0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:39.040 this ill ship that you know, um that big ends 0:38:39.080 --> 0:38:41.160 up becoming sant Uso. But I was just taken by 0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.239 it and spoke to me in a real way and 0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:45.399 I was like, oh shoot, I said this is I said, 0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:47.800 this is different.

He said that he was bluffing me. 0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:57.400 But what he told me was he said, well I 0:38:57.480 --> 0:39:02.160 don't normally do you know, just you know, track I 0:39:02.239 --> 0:39:05.680 do albums.

So I'm 1:00:38.280 --> 1:00:40.560 just being really about like just the fact that this 1:00:40.640 --> 1:00:42.520 watch is worth nothing. It looks good it was worth 1:00:43.960 --> 1:00:46.640 and you'll be staying at the fighting a hotel, which 1:00:48.080 --> 1:00:54.480 I'm just being honest. That hotel. I've never seen the 1:00:54.600 --> 1:00:59.760 hotel under or like fourteen hundred. I've never seen it 1:00:59.840 --> 1:01:02.400 like that. That is a little rage. Yeah, I didn't 1:01:02.400 --> 1:01:15.400 know that. Don't try us rooms like that is because 1:01:15.440 --> 1:01:19.720 we worked that way were you broke off.

Yeah yeah, telling my man New Jersey torkmen 1:03:44.200 --> 1:03:46.040 that even mean if you got tork, that even mean 1:03:46.080 --> 1:03:49.720 you're selling a lot of drugs.

So to see though, man, coming from where 1:04:03.120 --> 1:04:07.640 you came from, seeing you ever thought hip hop would 1:04:07.680 --> 1:04:10.200 be this big? You ever thought that, you know, you'll 1:04:10.240 --> 1:04:12.480 be performing like like you went on Talk with Light 1:04:12.560 --> 1:04:15.160 No Richie, I imagine old but was throwing pats on 1:04:15.240 --> 1:04:23.520 stage like come on, like he's on stage like he's 1:04:23.560 --> 1:04:29.280 still getting the popping, No doubt now he was.

But the greatest 1:04:40.360 --> 1:04:43.640 part about that, you know what it's just the the acknowledgement, 1:04:43.680 --> 1:04:44.959 you know what I mean, like you know, the share 1:04:45.000 --> 1:04:47.160 of space, you know, I mean, like to be mentioned 1:04:47.200 --> 1:04:49.560 in the same sense. Man, it's such a compliment. Man, 1:04:49.600 --> 1:04:51.840 you feel like I can't help but be humble about 1:04:51.840 --> 1:04:54.120 that man a lot of riches, you know, like you 1:04:54.200 --> 1:04:56.480 know that's my ancestor.

So 1:05:26.960 --> 1:05:30.520 it's like, you know, and I realized that I was, 1:05:30.920 --> 1:05:33.560 you know, growing and some like getting better when I 1:05:33.640 --> 1:05:36.040 could just be flushed up against it, you know what, 1:05:36.120 --> 1:05:38.000 saying like you feel me like and not being a 1:05:38.040 --> 1:05:40.240 tale of the difference between myself and the track. I mean, 1:05:40.360 --> 1:05:42.560 so that's how I learnt to say it. But the 1:05:42.720 --> 1:05:46.040 biggest the first step to being great is having great taste. 1:05:46.440 --> 1:05:48.000 What I'm saying, you feel me.
