<v Speaker 5>looking at these two brothers here as at one point

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 5>I never thought I would see them back together. One

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 5>brother was in Africa like incense. The other brother was

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:48.960

<v Speaker 5>about that later. But let's just get they have just

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:58.400

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.880

<v Speaker 8>Your Soul, the success of Black Starter, suscept of Dave

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 8>Jappelle's show.

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.040
<v Speaker 9>Your bars are not supposed.

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 10>To be like that, Yes they are, explain because.

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>This is what I'm here to do. This is a

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>large gift to me, right right, So you must, you know,

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>put your crown on. I mean much.

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 4>You always knew that I was.

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I was great at ryman from the moment I started.

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I was nine years old. I was never not good.

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 4>I think we should makes a noise of that.

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 7>You don't need that.

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna be out of sweet God, I really wasn't

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 5>because we just did this interview would just be just

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 5>us and not at the shock swearter God. This is

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 5>something that really motivates me because I fell out of

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 5>love of music a lot like I fell out of

0:04:59.040 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 5>love with the business.

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 4>That's a beastiness.

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's nothing it's not you know, you should

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 1>fall out of love. That means you're a human being,

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. It's not worthy if your love.

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 4>This is not the music.

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 1>So the art is another thing all together. I mean,

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the the fence around they called the industry is just

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just an industrial fence, you know.

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 5>So we had tot Level on the show, and we

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 5>actually asked him about you're a whereabouts and what the

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 5>time because we we had you was like a no

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 5>man at one point.

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Right, I'm alive and planet of my country is Earth.

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm from a country called Earth like everybody else. So

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>that's my perspective on life and living in place.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 11>I never heard of this country because that was the

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.600
<v Speaker 11>room of the rule was you went to Africa, I did,

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 11>and you lost the passport and then you became a

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 11>citizen of whatever country he was in.

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell the food story at another time, you know,

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>that's like a whole other thing I was.

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 4>I was living in.

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 1>South Africa and doing my stay there. I obtained the

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>secondary travel document, which is well documented the history of

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>it and the province of it.

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 4>And and the like.

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:35.359
<v Speaker 1>And I obtained one, and there was some disagreement between

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:40.160
<v Speaker 1>you myself and the and the South African government as

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>it relates to what they qualify as valid travel document.

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 12>And that was the older part that I remember, because

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 12>this is supposed to part time, you know, but it's

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 12>still parts has many different outfits these days.

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>So I wouldn't classify so much as that, but it

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 1>wasn't experienced. I often invite people to look up the

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>World Passport for themselves and just take it from there

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not here to make up anybody's mind about anything.

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 4>But that was a part of my experience. Okay, so

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 4>let me not get my hopes up. You said the

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 4>World's passport, the World pastor from a fella. I cannot

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 4>fill out for that, right, Let's be clear. You have

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 4>to look at it, but I'm sure that I.

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 9>Feel like I'm not going to be.

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>It's information about it. Anyone is invited to to take it.

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 4>Out and themselves like a community of people need to be.

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to. You know, you felt it.

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>The first job.

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 6>I said you were going to Africa.

0:07:50.920 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 13>You said they got w's in Africa.

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 5>Because you know why they used to lie to me.

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 5>They to tell me I had to get vaccines.

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I had to get.

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 9>Shots depending on the country going over there.

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 5>But this is this is Africa, total totality at this

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.119
<v Speaker 5>time until I met Acon and then Akon said, Nigga,

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 5>you come out there now vaccine. I don't know if

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 5>I believe he just told everything to me. He was like,

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 5>come on, let us go.

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 14>I'm just like I'm forgive you in Jersey City is different?

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 4>Why is that at the.

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.559
<v Speaker 5>Let's just let's just get back to this album, right,

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:46.439
<v Speaker 5>you guys, these fans have been backing for this album

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 5>for so long. So on this is like a two

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 5>part question because on one part you gave the fans

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 5>everything they wanted.

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 4>But then some and this But.

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 5>To this generation, this might be the most laziest generation

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 5>I've ever seen.

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Like they have Google, no fear of time, they have Google,

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 4>and they'll still be like, well, how do I get

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 4>it right?

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 5>So I remember a friend of mine had he threw

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 5>out a movie and this movie was so hard to download,

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 5>like it wasn't in the so and he was like, yo,

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 5>how was people not supporting us?

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.559
<v Speaker 4>We can't find the ship? You know what ider saying?

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying, because so, how do.

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 5>Y'all y'all navigate through this through the system of you know,

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 5>these fans that because luminary luminary, everyone doesn't notice. A

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 5>subscription based everyone doesn't notice.

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 9>How how do y'all navigate?

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 4>Is this the first album like music project on that?

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 4>Because do the podcast?

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 13>There you go? You knew we did a podcast today makes.

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 4>A noise of me.

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 13>Because I mean and listen, I'm not going to uh

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 13>differentiate between real and fake fans, because who knows what

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 13>station people are in life with what they are and.

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 6>They like to even know that we have.

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 13>But we have made a choice, for a lot of

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 13>valid reasons, to be in control of where and how

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 13>we distribute our art, and I think every artist should

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:27.680
<v Speaker 13>have that choice, just like every human beings. You have

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 13>a choice where to sell. They war is that if

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 13>they if they got wears the cell and so because

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 13>of that choice to have our podcast on Luminary, people's

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 13>parties on Luminary.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 6>People who have been following us, and I'm.

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 13>Not saying real fans, but people who have come on

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 13>a journey with us have been followed what we y'all

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 13>seen Bay is done with our installations. Who understand about

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.800

<v Speaker 13>ones who follow who go to Netflix and see au

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 13>Dachapel specials. These people already on Luminic, They were already

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 13>listening to Midnight Miracle, you know. And again I want

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 13>to stress that's not a judgment or nothing, but at

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 13>this point in our careers and because of the way

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 13>the music business. Speaking for myself, we have to as

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 13>as men and as artists focus on not trying to

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 13>cast a why net and get everybody. Because even me

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 13>as a fan, as a fan of black Star, I

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 13>want to hear black Star wherever I feel like hearing it.

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 6>But me as a fan of black Star, I.

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 13>Also want to trust black Star, and I also want

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 13>to follow black Star lead. And for us, it makes

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 13>sense not to cast a white net try to get everybody.

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 13>But for the people who are following us and people

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 13>who are rocking with us, let's get them first. And

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 13>you know what, we may have Vinyl come out, we

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 13>may do other things.

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 4>No, this is just the beginning.

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.680
<v Speaker 1>And also, I mean, you know, it's a principal choice.

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 4>It's not like.

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>There's an effort to make it unnecessarily inconvenient for people.

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, from my point of view, I.

0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Mean it seems fairly accessible, like a usonable distance for

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>any listener to cover. You know, we're consolidating the experience.

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 1>We're saying you don't have to go to all of

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>these different places. You could just come right here, and

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a question of value. If you value

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing, and we've explained to you, I mean

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 1>quite clearly and in various formats, the reasons why we

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>why we've chosen to do this, and the principles behind it,

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and what we're trying to establish and what we're trying

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to reform in many ways that exists in the system,

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>then it's like it's a no brainer supporting a historical

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>project within a historical approach. So if that's too cumbersome

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>for you with then like just stay where you are

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>to be quite candid, because you know when it's not

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 1>when I here, it just bow to make things like

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>convenient for people per se. You know, we're not complicating

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the process in this way. If the machine is it

0:12:56.200 --> 0:13:00.679
<v Speaker 1>exists now, was more amenable and fair within no problem.

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.959
<v Speaker 1>But when they like in a legalized criminal enterprise and

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>essence and my observation, But then I mean, like back.

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 5>In the days, if you want a good you know,

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 5>gold front, you have to go to ib square more

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 5>might have.

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 4>No. No, it's not even that, I mean, it's not

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:18.319
<v Speaker 4>even that.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you know, again, there's a prevailing metric that

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>exists that does not take the artists into consideration at all.

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>It really doesn't take humanity into consideration at all to

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>be perfectly canon. And what we're doing is a very

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>human thing. So's we're not gonna let the machine set

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the pace for us when we build the machine.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 15>In essence, you know, you can ask you because there's

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 15>gonna be people that listen they don't artists that don't

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.079
<v Speaker 15>know there's creative ways to release their music and maintain ownership.

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 15>And without getting into the details of your business, it

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 15>seems like what you did here is to maintain ownership,

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.199
<v Speaker 15>you know, get what you're going to get something out

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 15>of putting it out. You could do something else with

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 15>it down the line.

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:09.560
<v Speaker 1>This is the life of it. I mean, it came

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 1>out two weeks ago, you know, barely. You know, this

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>is just the beginning. It's it's not like something that

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>just came out this week and it's going to go away.

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>It's it's historically preserved and that's the difference.

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 13>And then you have to have the confidence of knowing

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 13>that you're in a position to do that and knowing

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 13>that your album, like we called it, No Fear of Time,

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 13>will stand the test of time. If you're chasing the moment,

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 13>you're chasing clout, and you're chasing something that's not actually real.

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 15>It's not a promo room for first quarter or fourth

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 15>quarter numbers and something like that.

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 4>Right, don't just want to do a shot with you

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 4>for no reason.

0:14:40.840 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 16>I'm d alcoholics.

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 4>If you're watching this today, why are you over here

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 4>for a second?

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 9>Right you?

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 5>I just want to say I studied you three nights

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 5>in a row.

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 4>All right. You know I'm not allowed to talk. You

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 4>don't have to talk. You don't have to talk. But

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna be honest.

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 7>This is this is the first.

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 4>Time I want to I want to.

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 9>Tell this to y'all.

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 4>I have the mic ready, niggas.

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 7>I want to tell y'all.

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 5>This is probably the first time I was seriously jealous

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 5>of a comedian, because I'm used to if I have

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 5>three shows, three nights in a row, this is a stabbing,

0:15:55.520 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 5>a shootout. I'm almost there wishing something like I'm there.

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 17>With the first night Friday, Everything's perfect.

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, this is the way it works.

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 5>The second night perfect, and then the third night and

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 5>I was like, and I really thought about it. I

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 5>was like, yo, I'm traumatized being a hip hop artist

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 5>that I don't even feel that going backstage when it's calm,

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 5>it's actually normal.

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you remember.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 6>I think it was the third night.

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Once backstage tang show.

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 7>Com Chaos of the difference.

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 4>What's you was about to get into the story? No, no,

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 4>because be talking about that night.

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 6>He was that Dave show at Dave Show.

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 5>One where's Donelle was Donelli is here.

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 6>Let me just tell you.

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 5>Something because I really you know, the same show that

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 5>was controversy that everyone spoke about.

0:16:58.240 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 4>I got to see it.

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 5>I got to see like I felt like he practiced

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 5>on me, like you know what I'm saying.

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.400

<v Speaker 6>It was it was coming on.

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 19>The idea I had was to put in the champagne bottle.

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:36.440
<v Speaker 19>They was like that, she's gonna get too messy, right,

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.160
<v Speaker 19>so I do? I said, do the aerosol joint, right,

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.399
<v Speaker 19>and that's where mother was born. But I got this

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.439
<v Speaker 19>with a lot of people don't know. We did that

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.640
<v Speaker 19>show sixteen seventeen hours a day, right. It was times

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:48.719
<v Speaker 19>where niggas ain't had no more gas. We did did

<v Speaker 19>everybody you cannot think of no funniest ship, and Dave

0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 19>will always figure out this ship to go to the

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 19>next level. I don't know if y'all remember, if you

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 19>know the show, it was a scene where we was

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 19>looking at the the the actors and whatever. They flip

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 19>a card you like supposed to improv off of it.

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 19>It was Patersa O'Neill was Charlie Murphy and we was

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 19>gassed out.

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:14.960
<v Speaker 4>We had no more laughs left.

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.040

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 19>bigga said it looked like she wear boxes and addicted holes.

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.399

<v Speaker 19>night night, it is over. Yeah, but y'all are disrespect

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 19>I was looking forward to coming on the show.

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 7>If you're talking about.

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:47.160
<v Speaker 4>Gonna talking, I'm gonna talking. I'm nothing happened.

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.639
<v Speaker 7>So so this cribe to this area that we have

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 7>right now. It's called the shock. This cribe to us.

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 3>The other shack is an old car garage, probably from

0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 3>the nineteen fifties. I didn't change the outside at all,

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 3>but inside we tricked it out right. I would drive

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.119
<v Speaker 3>by here and I told my wife one day I

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 3>was gonna buy it. We're gonna do with that shack.

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I said, we don't you worry about what I'm gonna

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 3>do with that shack. What I did was I made

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 3>this clubhouse. Nothing fancy, but man, this is like a

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.919
<v Speaker 3>home for our culture. Yes means a lot. Nor is

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 3>they think you came here. Yes, the last time I

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 3>saw DMX.

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 4>We had a great night here. Quality brought them by. Wow.

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 3>We've had parties here with common with rhyme and freestyle

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 3>or chance to wrap.

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.000
<v Speaker 4>All kinds of people just fall through.

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 3>And we make memories. The walls in the here splattered

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 3>with just random night memories. Yes, photographer Matchew Baton, I

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 3>think took all these photos, with the exception of the

0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 3>block party poster. Right, it's me and most at a

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.919
<v Speaker 3>comedy club in London. We had a great time that night.

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 3>We ended up watching the super Bowl and then in

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 3>halftime called Colin Kaepernick because we could. You know, like like,

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 3>this is a strange place, Ohio, but it's a good place.

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:30.159
<v Speaker 3>But the memories we made here are legendary. Things have

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 3>happened in this room in this town people wouldn't even believe.

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 3>And Quality is a regularly I've seen the regular.

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.359
<v Speaker 6>Recorded some of the Blackstar album here in this So

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:40.120
<v Speaker 6>can I say.

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 5>Something beir Because a lot of times people move to

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 5>Miami and say, I'm never coming home, I'm going to

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:47.719
<v Speaker 5>stay here. A lot of Positi people go to Japan

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 5>and say I'm never coming home and staying here. They

0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 5>go to l A. This is probably the first time

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.119
<v Speaker 5>a person said I'm going I'm staying in Ohio.

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm never coming back. How did you How did you

0:21:57.840 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 4>discover this?

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:06.960
<v Speaker 3>We don't know if that needs its own episode.

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 4>It's real.

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.879
<v Speaker 3>It's like, look, look, when Lebron James left Ohio, I

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 3>understood this is not the kind of place that you

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:20.000
<v Speaker 3>should stay your whole life. You should leave an income back.

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.480
<v Speaker 3>It's a value that you appreciate once you have something

0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:27.680
<v Speaker 3>to contrast it. Leaving New York City was like kicking

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.640
<v Speaker 3>a drug habit. New York is an addictive motherfucker. There's

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:34.879
<v Speaker 3>no place quite like Thank God. I know, I know,

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 3>and I know you feel that way. I'm just saying

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 3>that they need one and we couldn't do it another.

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 22>We're supposed to make.

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.399
<v Speaker 4>Continue. I mean, look, you guys are fucking.

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 3>Like quantum physicists or some ship in the culture.

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 4>You know, you guys.

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:55.280
<v Speaker 3>All of you guys have made albums. I love like

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 3>what you scored my life.

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 4>You know you're all from New York City.

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 3>What a fucking amazing phenomenon that the genre of music

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:09.960
<v Speaker 3>was created in New York City and now it's a

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 3>global phenomena.

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 4>It's snow.

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:17.359
<v Speaker 3>It's no small thing that the boys from New York

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.400
<v Speaker 3>put together. You know, any of the niggas I see

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Jay I once saw Shook Knight across the room.

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 4>This nigga was eating a salad in the restaurant. I

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 4>was like, there he goes all that. It looked like

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:42.560
<v Speaker 4>season from.

<v Speaker 6>This like.

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Shut around his mouth.

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, niggas wildlife, Yeah man, but it means a lot.

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 3>You know that That night d m X came over

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 3>while they had called him, was five hours late. M Yeah,

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 3>that's normal. No, was remarkable. He was late because he

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 3>didn't want to come to my home empty handed. He

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 3>went to his trunk and I mean, we're in the

0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:19.360
<v Speaker 3>middle of nowhere. This nigga had crab lakes. We sat here,

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 3>we watched the game, We had a great conversation. We

0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 3>was karaoke and songs, and then we went to my

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:29.520
<v Speaker 3>house and d m X cooked the crabb dinner for

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 3>me and all my friends. My wife woke up in

<v Speaker 3>the middle of the night and saw DMX in the

<v Speaker 3>kitchen tasting.

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 2>So.

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 4>It blew a fucking mind.

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:43.159

<v Speaker 4>hip hop?

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Which man, let me tell you something. My parents were

<v Speaker 3>Pop culture is a desert right now, and your show

0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:49.880
<v Speaker 3>is an anomaly.

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 4>And that Kanye west.

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh interview you did was one of my favorite things

0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:02.160
<v Speaker 3>that I've seen in old pop culture in recent history.

0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:08.040

<v Speaker 4>in a minute.

0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:16.680
<v Speaker 3>It was funny, it was engaging, and then this nigga

0:36:16.880 --> 0:36:18.480
<v Speaker 3>had to go in on Quality's head.

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:26.360
<v Speaker 6>I forgot about this.

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:29.440
<v Speaker 3>He said something about quality making baseball heads popular.

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:36.959
<v Speaker 5>That ain't no disrespecting, because I would like I would

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:40.520
<v Speaker 5>like to beat you up, Tyler, because honestly, I could

0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:42.560
<v Speaker 5>tell the first two days we spoke you were hot.

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I can tell, but you trusted me as.

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:49.800
<v Speaker 5>A friend, and I was really respect that because you

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:53.080
<v Speaker 5>knew I say, your toddler, I couldn't stop anything. You know,

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:55.920
<v Speaker 5>like once once a person starts to go, and a

0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 5>person of that calibers just like damn, what do I do?

0:36:58.560 --> 0:36:59.960
<v Speaker 9>I can't throw a muscle on him.

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:02.480
<v Speaker 4>But you could have. You could have took this the

0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 4>wrong wrong way. You could have you could have called.

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:11.800
<v Speaker 3>You talk about telling me about because I killed that

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:15.480
<v Speaker 3>mother for that baseball hat comment.

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 4>Nobody, nobody hat. No, this nigga was. This thing was

0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:24.320
<v Speaker 4>not hot at all. I was with him when he

0:37:24.440 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 4>saw immediately, yeah he was not.

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:31.800
<v Speaker 5>But my first two calls, I was nervous, okay, But

0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:34.640
<v Speaker 5>then the third and fourth and everyone you kind of

0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:37.719
<v Speaker 5>like just brush it off and was just like, but

0:37:38.320 --> 0:37:41.200
<v Speaker 5>you said something to me that was very, very probably

0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:43.880
<v Speaker 5>the most popular, probably the most illness things I've ever

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:46.080
<v Speaker 5>heard in my life. You said to me, the thing

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:49.600
<v Speaker 5>about Kanye is even when he distance you, he helps you.

0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:54.360
<v Speaker 5>And you said, the problem with him is he knows that.

0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 5>I do remember saying that.

0:37:57.120 --> 0:38:02.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh boy, nail, that's the part. I agree with that.

0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:04.000
<v Speaker 4>So I didn't hear this.

0:38:06.320 --> 0:38:09.719
<v Speaker 6>You heard of this because you think I heard.

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:11.680
<v Speaker 4>I heard.

0:38:15.840 --> 0:38:17.279
<v Speaker 6>I did have fun with it, but you know.

0:38:18.719 --> 0:38:23.160
<v Speaker 4>No, you're not alerted to smoke. I think it's American spirits.

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:27.400
<v Speaker 4>But it's okay. I'm good, not bad. That's okay. So

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:32.400

<v Speaker 13>you know what I'm saying.

0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:38.799
<v Speaker 6>And we on a group chat.

0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:40.839
<v Speaker 13>We you know we you know you're a certain age

0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 13>on the group chat with your friends from back in

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:45.200
<v Speaker 13>the day. We on a group chat just laughing about this.

0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:48.440
<v Speaker 13>But you know, it was a moment that I that

0:40:48.600 --> 0:40:50.560
<v Speaker 13>I had to I had to have fun with it

0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 13>because I got a lot of love for Kanye, and

0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:58.320
<v Speaker 13>he seemed there was there was underlying context behind that.

0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:01.759
<v Speaker 6>You know, it really another with bars or common a

0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:03.719
<v Speaker 6>baseball hats and none of that and none to do

0:41:03.800 --> 0:41:03.960
<v Speaker 6>with that.

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:10.279
<v Speaker 13>And so for me, there was at Kanye got a

0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:14.040
<v Speaker 13>huge platform, and I care and I you know, I'm

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:15.719
<v Speaker 13>like Marlow from the wire. My name is my name.

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:18.040
<v Speaker 6>You don't speak of my name in no disrespectful way.

0:41:18.040 --> 0:41:18.560
<v Speaker 4>That's how I feel.

0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:21.000
<v Speaker 13>And he got a huge platform, and I love him,

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:23.400
<v Speaker 13>and he my friend and my brother. So this was

0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 13>all very conflicting and difficult. Richie expressed on drink chairs

0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:31.200
<v Speaker 13>before right and me and and to be real, me

0:41:31.320 --> 0:41:33.360
<v Speaker 13>expressing that drink champs is what he was responding to

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:35.680
<v Speaker 13>when he when he said what he had to say,

0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:39.120
<v Speaker 13>it was when I saw the documentary, a shout out

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:40.560
<v Speaker 13>of Coolie because I think he did a great job.

0:41:41.160 --> 0:41:42.840
<v Speaker 13>But when I saw the documentary, there's moments in the

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:45.360
<v Speaker 13>documentary and me and seen me together with Kanye, and

0:41:45.400 --> 0:41:47.560
<v Speaker 13>I'll be honest with you, my life was moving.

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 6>So fast at the time, a lot of shows, a

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:51.279
<v Speaker 6>lot of drinking, a lot of smoking, a lot of

0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:52.200
<v Speaker 6>just rap.

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:56.200
<v Speaker 4>Confess, there's a lot of.

0:41:56.200 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 13>Ship, can't I'm watching this documentary and I don't remember

0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:07.200
<v Speaker 13>those moments, and so me not remembering those moments, I

0:42:07.280 --> 0:42:09.919
<v Speaker 13>had to realize, well, if I don't even remember those moments,

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:11.799
<v Speaker 13>I had to see him a film. The people who

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:14.120
<v Speaker 13>wasn't there, they definitely don't know about that, so they

0:42:14.160 --> 0:42:16.680
<v Speaker 13>don't have no context. So I have to stop even

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:20.320
<v Speaker 13>be considering the context of people who wasn't there, you

0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:22.080
<v Speaker 13>know what I'm saying. Like for the people who was there,

0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:25.080
<v Speaker 13>they know you know what I'm saying. And that's that's

0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:27.080
<v Speaker 13>that's what that documentary reminded me of.

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:31.560
<v Speaker 5>Okay, very briefly, I spoke the consequence, right, It was

0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:33.160
<v Speaker 5>just when the first episode dropped.

0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:35.480
<v Speaker 3>By the way, this has nothing to do it with

0:42:35.560 --> 0:42:37.800
<v Speaker 3>this nigga consequence perfect teeth.

0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:46.680
<v Speaker 9>So I spoke the consequence.

0:42:55.160 --> 0:42:56.000
<v Speaker 7>So yeah, I see.

0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:59.280
<v Speaker 5>So when I spoke the consequence, at first, it seemed

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:03.319
<v Speaker 5>like he was, you know, a little disgruntle because people

0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:07.680
<v Speaker 5>was using footage of him. That was from from from

0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:10.719
<v Speaker 5>early on and then later on it seemed like it

0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:15.200
<v Speaker 5>was like it was cool. But one of the the

0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:18.839
<v Speaker 5>Kanye documentary, which you just brung up, is you kept

0:43:18.920 --> 0:43:20.879
<v Speaker 5>saying this guy is going to be the guy.

0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:26.239
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I did, like very confidently too.

0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:29.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I mean I think you ever said just do

0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:30.320
<v Speaker 4>a whole album together.

0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:35.799
<v Speaker 1>It's fairly obvious to me from the from the get

0:43:35.880 --> 0:43:39.320
<v Speaker 1>go where I was had it where it already was

0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:42.840
<v Speaker 1>when you and him. I mean, he was amazing producer,

0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:49.240
<v Speaker 1>he had all the star quality.

0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:54.759
<v Speaker 4>He was different. He challenged, in my opinion, a lot of.

0:43:54.800 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 1>The macho notion disassociated with but hip hop specifically, Like he.

0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:05.359
<v Speaker 5>Even just said recently, he said, you won't do four

0:44:05.480 --> 0:44:07.319
<v Speaker 5>years in college, but he's twenty five of life.

0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:09.920
<v Speaker 4>That's disrespect to every gangster nigga in the world.

0:44:10.200 --> 0:44:11.399
<v Speaker 9>No one become caught down.

0:44:12.760 --> 0:44:14.880
<v Speaker 7>Well, he said what he said he won't.

0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:16.520
<v Speaker 1>He said, you mean in college, you won't do four

0:44:16.600 --> 0:44:18.480
<v Speaker 1>years in college, but you do twenty five in life.

0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:21.919
<v Speaker 4>What he's trying to say, man, this is very good

0:44:21.960 --> 0:44:25.319
<v Speaker 4>what I'm doing. It's all good. Okay, get your dental.

0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:27.560
<v Speaker 13>He's saying that where we place our values where you

0:44:27.600 --> 0:44:30.280
<v Speaker 13>place our values and then he also said.

0:44:30.160 --> 0:44:32.840
<v Speaker 5>Mellionaires where it changed like it's also like you this

0:44:33.000 --> 0:44:34.600
<v Speaker 5>in a millionnaire. I've never heard this before.

0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:36.480
<v Speaker 4>But who is this is a millionaire?

0:44:37.880 --> 0:44:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:46.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, which man? This all of us millions. I'm talking

<v Speaker 4>about Bring over river Vision boats made out of Night Trial,

0:45:04.239 --> 0:45:04.880
<v Speaker 4>Robert Right.

0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:10.279
<v Speaker 5>I see what you're saying on the documentary, and I

0:45:10.360 --> 0:45:13.200
<v Speaker 5>see what even Dave said when Dave said, like you know,

0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 5>he was watching these clips what Kanye and Kanye was said,

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:19.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm dope w I'm doing dope ship. But what I'm

0:45:19.080 --> 0:45:22.280
<v Speaker 5>trying to get from you is what was the actual

0:45:22.440 --> 0:45:24.239
<v Speaker 5>thing that you knew that this guy was great?

0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:27.560
<v Speaker 4>You listened to the beast he did the truth for

0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:31.319
<v Speaker 4>being segull, just to listen.

0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:37.279
<v Speaker 1>If this guy is fifty percent is good rhyman and

0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:41.520
<v Speaker 1>he is with them bets, he's gonna ahead. Diamond D

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:47.200
<v Speaker 1>there's another MC Producers said hip hop is a classic

0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Pete Rock who he was just kind of like flirted

0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:52.840
<v Speaker 1>with ramas sometimes whatever he would do it it was,

0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:54.919
<v Speaker 1>it was, it was a pure thing. I take It's

0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the same way Dylan is the same way for for all. Yeah,

0:46:00.160 --> 0:46:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Kannie just took it to the fullest, you know extension

0:46:03.760 --> 0:46:07.520
<v Speaker 1>where he was like, no, I'm and people weren't trying

0:46:07.560 --> 0:46:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to accept Conye because he didn't fit into the archetype

0:46:10.600 --> 0:46:13.800
<v Speaker 1>of what has been sold is a solo rapper image.

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:17.600
<v Speaker 1>At that time, he changed the paradigm for what was

0:46:18.000 --> 0:46:24.920
<v Speaker 1>possible in terms of an audience connecting with with not

0:46:25.120 --> 0:46:27.960
<v Speaker 1>just the music, but also an approach. I mean the

0:46:28.000 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 1>whole thing with the you know, college drop out, with

0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the mascot all that. It's like, it's art, you know

0:46:32.360 --> 0:46:35.799
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. It wasn't about him, you know, I'm

0:46:35.840 --> 0:46:37.440
<v Speaker 1>on the block doing this and this and that. But

0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:41.279
<v Speaker 1>and he made soon as the appeal to everybody, no

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:43.400
<v Speaker 1>matter where you were. You know, it was just it

0:46:43.560 --> 0:46:45.919
<v Speaker 1>was just good music. I mean, you know, good life

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>is not about some sort of macho pasta. It's just dope,

0:46:50.160 --> 0:46:54.759
<v Speaker 1>you know. So that's what I appreciated about him. And

0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:56.920
<v Speaker 1>so what Pof was doing with No Way Out, I

0:46:57.000 --> 0:46:59.800
<v Speaker 1>was like, if that's working, I know, just the proper

0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:02.440
<v Speaker 1>off is not ro my life Kanye had published not

0:47:02.440 --> 0:47:06.840
<v Speaker 1>even Ron my Life, Doctor Dre right, Doctor Dre is

0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:09.320
<v Speaker 1>going in on those bars, whether he wrote them or not.

0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Heard he sounds fantastic. They say that pop doesn't, but

0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:17.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just you know, it's another hemisphere. Kanye was like,

0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:20.480
<v Speaker 1>and he said it ain't nobody don't don't can hear

0:47:20.520 --> 0:47:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you go and get ain't nobody calls this due to

0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:24.759
<v Speaker 1>rapping at track Triple Double Norse says, it's like he's

0:47:25.080 --> 0:47:29.239
<v Speaker 1>telling you, you know, and when you have that type

0:47:29.239 --> 0:47:32.560
<v Speaker 1>of talent musically, well the naturally you're gonna have something interesting.

<v Speaker 1>the corner where the old Yeah, the Old Death JM.

0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:17.320
<v Speaker 1>The university used to say. Anyway, it was a local

0:50:17.400 --> 0:50:20.520
<v Speaker 1>movie theater. It was there, and what Kanye did is

0:50:20.560 --> 0:50:24.839
<v Speaker 1>that you came into the movie theater. He had programs

0:50:25.640 --> 0:50:27.279
<v Speaker 1>for like all of the songs and some of the

0:50:27.360 --> 0:50:31.880
<v Speaker 1>lyrics and all that, so so caramel popcorn and edited

0:50:33.120 --> 0:50:37.200
<v Speaker 1>visuals from anime movies that he liked and played that

0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:39.800
<v Speaker 1>in sync to the music.

0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:42.840
<v Speaker 4>The moment that he did that and the moment that

0:50:42.960 --> 0:50:44.840
<v Speaker 4>I left there, I was.

0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Like, Kanye wins that I don't care what fifty cent

0:50:49.480 --> 0:50:53.640
<v Speaker 1>got in the tank. He is not beating this album

0:50:53.800 --> 0:50:55.680
<v Speaker 1>at this time. It's just no way.

0:50:55.800 --> 0:50:56.720
<v Speaker 4>It was so creative.

0:50:56.760 --> 0:51:00.400
<v Speaker 1>It was I mean, good morning, it was graduate is

0:51:00.480 --> 0:51:03.759
<v Speaker 1>like it's like a thriller moment that people actually proper

0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:07.960
<v Speaker 1>appropriately appropriately appreciate you for this, I mean, and they

0:51:08.040 --> 0:51:10.040
<v Speaker 1>try to. I always feel like they try to hate

0:51:10.040 --> 0:51:12.600
<v Speaker 1>on it. Because he really sold a million records.

0:51:12.280 --> 0:51:12.759
<v Speaker 19>In the day.

0:51:13.320 --> 0:51:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what they say. I don't know about this,

0:51:17.160 --> 0:51:21.040
<v Speaker 1>but they say he sold his first day. The first

0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:24.560
<v Speaker 1>week is the first day. If I'm not mistakes, the

0:51:24.600 --> 0:51:25.960
<v Speaker 1>first week of the first day, I believe it's the

0:51:26.000 --> 0:51:31.680
<v Speaker 1>first day fifty so seven hundred thousand copies. This is

0:51:31.719 --> 0:51:40.480
<v Speaker 1>before Spotify and all of this. We sold nine hundred

0:51:40.600 --> 0:51:43.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand pieces, which means he sold the main pieces.

0:51:43.680 --> 0:51:46.560
<v Speaker 4>And you don't want to roll it off. Let's just like,

0:51:46.719 --> 0:51:47.719
<v Speaker 4>let's quit playing games.

0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Lets it kept it kept the record industry like floating

0:51:52.080 --> 0:51:54.320
<v Speaker 1>for at least the next five years with that, and

0:51:54.360 --> 0:51:57.719
<v Speaker 1>it helped them transition into this whole streamer model because.

0:51:57.520 --> 0:52:00.520
<v Speaker 4>They was just sitting on cash and who was like that.

0:52:00.640 --> 0:52:03.200
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't cold player, it wasn't YouTube, it wasn't any

0:52:03.360 --> 0:52:07.400
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't any other genre. It was Kanye West with

0:52:07.920 --> 0:52:12.440
<v Speaker 1>a beautifully cleanly produced album. There was pure hip hop

0:52:12.480 --> 0:52:15.359
<v Speaker 1>and Barry Bonds, like, what are we even talking about?

0:52:15.400 --> 0:52:20.360
<v Speaker 1>This ship is out of control, and yeah, I was like, fifties,

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:22.920
<v Speaker 1>he don't have nothing. In response to that, I mean,

0:52:23.040 --> 0:52:25.880
<v Speaker 1>he's you know, he's he was riding in the tie

0:52:26.000 --> 0:52:29.719
<v Speaker 1>that Kanye created. In my opinion and from an observers

0:52:29.760 --> 0:52:32.840
<v Speaker 1>point of view, for me, it felt like a referendum on.

0:52:33.000 --> 0:52:36.200
<v Speaker 9>The on You'd be using words, I don't know what

0:52:36.280 --> 0:52:37.320
<v Speaker 9>the talking about.

0:52:41.680 --> 0:52:42.200
<v Speaker 6>This whole town.

0:52:42.200 --> 0:52:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I'll been like, yep, a referendum. It's like, you know what,

0:52:47.600 --> 0:52:49.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like a vote. It's like it's almost like a

0:52:50.000 --> 0:52:54.200
<v Speaker 1>public petition. Yeah, it's not exactly a vote, but it's

0:52:54.280 --> 0:52:56.319
<v Speaker 1>like something that happens before a vote.

0:52:57.520 --> 0:52:59.920
<v Speaker 4>But they have signed of cultural referendums like.

0:53:02.000 --> 0:53:06.239
<v Speaker 1>This side or this side is going to determine the

0:53:06.360 --> 0:53:11.239
<v Speaker 1>cultural direction for this group for at least the next

0:53:11.280 --> 0:53:16.600
<v Speaker 1>five years, if not the full generation. And in my opinion,

0:53:17.120 --> 0:53:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that's what Kanye West Graduation Album did. It opened up

0:53:22.400 --> 0:53:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the paradigm creatively for what could be viewed as groundbreaking

0:53:32.120 --> 0:53:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and inventive and also having big scale, and there was

0:53:36.520 --> 0:53:40.480
<v Speaker 1>no one at that type of pop culture scale was

0:53:40.560 --> 0:53:44.520
<v Speaker 1>being that creative, you know, particularly in hip hop. So

0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a big moment for the culture. I mean, and

0:53:47.760 --> 0:53:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, this kid from Chicago to everybody stepped on

0:53:50.600 --> 0:53:53.719
<v Speaker 1>because he was wearing hard bottom shoes and you know,

0:53:54.160 --> 0:53:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, fucking cardigans with button down shirts were not

0:53:57.040 --> 0:54:00.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody justice like that, but at least once too, you know,

0:54:00.520 --> 0:54:04.880
<v Speaker 1>like you know, you know, Kanye just stayed true to himself.

0:54:04.920 --> 0:54:06.320
<v Speaker 4>I think that's what the real powerble.

0:54:06.360 --> 0:54:10.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not about following the style that somebody introduced to you.

0:54:10.560 --> 0:54:12.680
<v Speaker 4>It's about being you.

0:54:13.160 --> 0:54:13.320
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:54:13.840 --> 0:54:17.680
<v Speaker 9>And let me ask you. There was a cover right,

0:54:18.280 --> 0:54:19.239
<v Speaker 9>I believe it was you.

0:54:20.880 --> 0:54:24.120
<v Speaker 4>Black Thought in Phara months.

0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:28.760
<v Speaker 1>That's Source magazine, Source magazine, So magazine.

0:54:29.000 --> 0:54:29.960
<v Speaker 4>This is backpack.

0:54:32.400 --> 0:54:34.040
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I mean, okay, let me tell you what

0:54:34.120 --> 0:54:38.879
<v Speaker 5>the outside is looking at it saying backpack hip hop.

0:54:40.680 --> 0:54:45.560
<v Speaker 4>It's at the forefront now, I guess, but you know

0:54:45.600 --> 0:54:45.960
<v Speaker 4>what I mean.

0:54:46.280 --> 0:54:49.520
<v Speaker 25>Even you remember you remember the couple, But even the

0:54:49.600 --> 0:54:52.600
<v Speaker 25>backpack coach never accepted that terminology either.

0:54:53.120 --> 0:54:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It was like it's something that people came up with

0:54:55.160 --> 0:54:58.279
<v Speaker 1>to try to like, you know, I get where people

0:54:58.320 --> 0:55:00.480
<v Speaker 1>coming from with it, but it was like that stuff

0:55:00.520 --> 0:55:02.640
<v Speaker 1>because it doesn't have any gravity to it.

0:55:02.760 --> 0:55:06.920
<v Speaker 7>It's like, so that's not you know what it is.

0:55:07.000 --> 0:55:10.239
<v Speaker 13>It's like, okay, so I grew up in Flatbush Flat

0:55:10.320 --> 0:55:13.040
<v Speaker 13>Lambs area. It's a two fare zone. And so when

0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:16.239
<v Speaker 13>we went to what at that time Greenwich Village's Lower

0:55:16.280 --> 0:55:18.279
<v Speaker 13>east Side to go to parties in the city, we

0:55:18.400 --> 0:55:19.480
<v Speaker 13>hopped in the Turnstarle and.

0:55:19.520 --> 0:55:23.600
<v Speaker 6>We had backpacks on, and it was a very practical.

0:55:23.200 --> 0:55:29.800
<v Speaker 1>New York City thing, like a sign of dangers, like

0:55:30.520 --> 0:55:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Center Trade dust.

0:55:32.440 --> 0:55:36.400
<v Speaker 6>I get him on the other side. But then you

0:55:36.520 --> 0:55:37.160
<v Speaker 6>started seeing.

0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:40.919
<v Speaker 13>Then you start seeing in hip hop videos, you start

0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:43.600
<v Speaker 13>seeing Grand Puba went to backpack on. Then you have

0:55:43.719 --> 0:55:45.680
<v Speaker 13>kids from the suburbs coming and let me tell you

0:55:45.800 --> 0:55:48.560
<v Speaker 13>wearing empty backpacks at the show. Let me tell you

0:55:48.640 --> 0:55:49.360
<v Speaker 13>where backpack.

0:55:49.440 --> 0:55:50.160
<v Speaker 6>That's where he came.

0:55:50.320 --> 0:55:51.280
<v Speaker 4>Frowned upon.

0:55:53.760 --> 0:55:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Backpack and against the culture was simultaneously.

0:55:58.120 --> 0:56:01.120
<v Speaker 4>At one time we ran this saying it was one

0:56:01.320 --> 0:56:05.080
<v Speaker 4>video what they do the roots.

0:56:06.640 --> 0:56:10.440
<v Speaker 7>It's separated backpack and gangs stuff.

0:56:10.600 --> 0:56:13.080
<v Speaker 9>That sounds personal because it does.

0:56:13.400 --> 0:56:15.600
<v Speaker 4>It did know, because you know what it did.

0:56:16.120 --> 0:56:19.160
<v Speaker 5>Everything that represented gangs stuff, the roots had dissed at

0:56:19.239 --> 0:56:19.720
<v Speaker 5>that moment.

0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:22.800
<v Speaker 4>Damn, I'm full mad hip.

0:56:22.680 --> 0:56:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Hop right now.

0:56:25.520 --> 0:56:34.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, Lear played some outside baseballs, some outside baseball.

0:56:35.360 --> 0:56:41.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm not a rapper, no, no, no, because I need

0:56:41.480 --> 0:56:45.600
<v Speaker 4>to hear your face after Okay, here I go. We

0:56:45.680 --> 0:56:52.200
<v Speaker 4>ever got the most vicious win? Okay, gangs vicious?

0:56:52.560 --> 0:56:54.320
<v Speaker 9>Yes, what they do?

0:56:55.239 --> 0:57:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Who do what they do? And this is what yes

0:57:01.800 --> 0:57:06.120
<v Speaker 4>love video? Yes, and it was clever, right, But there

0:57:06.320 --> 0:57:10.279
<v Speaker 4>was more bites at the Biggie Show than it was

0:57:10.360 --> 0:57:14.120
<v Speaker 4>at the Roots one more more more particularly, there's more

0:57:14.320 --> 0:57:17.400
<v Speaker 4>bitches at the NAS show. Okay, but that but that

0:57:17.480 --> 0:57:20.240
<v Speaker 4>didn't come yet. What they do was before. Let me

0:57:20.280 --> 0:57:22.600
<v Speaker 4>tell you something, what they do before. Let me tell

0:57:22.600 --> 0:57:23.840
<v Speaker 4>you something. I don't know if.

0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:29.680
<v Speaker 7>I remember me and NAS happened the meeting and him

0:57:29.760 --> 0:57:31.200
<v Speaker 7>saying that is about me.

0:57:31.440 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 4>You have a meeting about this.

0:57:32.840 --> 0:57:37.400
<v Speaker 9>I'm saying, your son, this is not about you at all.

0:57:37.880 --> 0:57:39.480
<v Speaker 9>But remember when they're.

0:57:39.360 --> 0:57:41.760
<v Speaker 5>Chasing the wrapper through where they chasing the rapper through

0:57:41.840 --> 0:57:47.600
<v Speaker 5>at Queensbridge, in the projects, not Queensbridge, any projects in America.

0:57:47.960 --> 0:57:51.600
<v Speaker 9>What every project looks the same. So I remember that

0:57:52.080 --> 0:57:53.520
<v Speaker 9>that was the time.

0:57:53.800 --> 0:57:54.920
<v Speaker 4>This is a long grudge.

0:57:55.240 --> 0:57:57.880
<v Speaker 26>I can't believe. I can't believe that you still have

0:57:58.120 --> 0:58:05.680
<v Speaker 26>trauma over there. They do video fuck them backpack cut

0:58:05.760 --> 0:58:06.120
<v Speaker 26>that out.

0:58:06.200 --> 0:58:10.440
<v Speaker 6>No, no, but he sounded like, you know, he sounded

0:58:10.440 --> 0:58:11.760
<v Speaker 6>like Memphis Bleef talking about the NA.

0:58:11.920 --> 0:58:13.240
<v Speaker 7>So no, because you know what.

0:58:13.400 --> 0:58:16.520
<v Speaker 5>You know what was crazy to me was when Kanye

0:58:16.680 --> 0:58:19.240
<v Speaker 5>said that, he said I was faking being a backpack

0:58:19.360 --> 0:58:22.320
<v Speaker 5>wrapper and boot Camp.

0:58:22.360 --> 0:58:24.360
<v Speaker 4>People from boot Camp came.

0:58:24.360 --> 0:58:27.080
<v Speaker 5>At us and said, yo, we want to respawn to Kanye,

0:58:27.520 --> 0:58:29.880
<v Speaker 5>and I was like, I don't think they were talking

0:58:29.960 --> 0:58:30.360
<v Speaker 5>about you.

0:58:30.960 --> 0:58:33.200
<v Speaker 4>At No, Yeah, I don't think he was talking about me.

0:58:33.320 --> 0:58:36.080
<v Speaker 9>He was talking about book shot box shots.

0:58:36.240 --> 0:58:39.320
<v Speaker 7>People hit us and me because.

0:58:43.320 --> 0:58:47.640
<v Speaker 13>Remember who got the prop video box Buckshot five foot

0:58:47.680 --> 0:58:49.640
<v Speaker 13>with the backpacks jumping around.

0:58:50.560 --> 0:58:53.280
<v Speaker 7>That was the first that considered. That's why they felt

0:58:53.320 --> 0:58:53.600
<v Speaker 7>that way.

0:58:53.880 --> 0:58:54.760
<v Speaker 4>That's why they backed up.

0:58:54.800 --> 0:58:57.440
<v Speaker 7>That's why they felt that. They felt they brought it in.

0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Cli big up Bucks. But I didn't understand that when Buck.

0:59:09.000 --> 0:59:11.960
<v Speaker 6>Because they had the backpack, they got the person. When

0:59:12.000 --> 0:59:14.560
<v Speaker 6>buckshot Buckshot performs, he wears a backpack.

0:59:14.760 --> 0:59:17.800
<v Speaker 9>I just took the Apollo with Caros one that.

0:59:17.920 --> 0:59:18.920
<v Speaker 6>Came out with the backpack.

0:59:18.960 --> 0:59:20.560
<v Speaker 7>And you know what, Now I get now, I get it.

0:59:20.840 --> 0:59:21.840
<v Speaker 4>Now I get what he was doing.

0:59:23.040 --> 0:59:27.080
<v Speaker 9>He came, he took, he put the backpack on the

0:59:27.160 --> 0:59:28.600
<v Speaker 9>ground and he turned around like this.

0:59:30.680 --> 0:59:34.320
<v Speaker 6>That's what he did. Now I understand what he was doing. Yeah,

0:59:34.920 --> 0:59:37.800
<v Speaker 6>he was making a statement about backpacks.

0:59:37.920 --> 0:59:40.880
<v Speaker 15>But Kanye is definitely was talking about He was talking

0:59:40.960 --> 0:59:43.760
<v Speaker 15>about the underground scene, which I was saying because that

0:59:43.880 --> 0:59:45.600
<v Speaker 15>was a scene that was supporting him.

0:59:47.480 --> 0:59:49.120
<v Speaker 4>Talk about Puerto Rican busy.

0:59:55.760 --> 0:59:56.880
<v Speaker 9>So he's never died.

0:59:59.600 --> 1:00:01.280
<v Speaker 4>Latins saying calls as nigger.

1:00:04.600 --> 1:00:13.960
<v Speaker 22>You're not approved, man, He's approved. Hold On, hold on,

1:00:14.080 --> 1:00:14.680

<v Speaker 4>To do that.

1:18:42.880 --> 1:18:46.120
<v Speaker 7>Because so you know, Michelle Gondry who did that movie.

1:18:46.160 --> 1:18:46.680
<v Speaker 6>He did.

1:18:49.360 --> 1:18:53.960
<v Speaker 1>That's why goy Michelle, He's great, he's amazing. Michelle, he

1:18:54.080 --> 1:18:54.719
<v Speaker 1>was the director.

1:18:55.160 --> 1:19:00.920
<v Speaker 30>Beautiful, really really joy a wonderful story glory from working

1:19:01.000 --> 1:19:03.600
<v Speaker 30>on the set with him, where we'll be setting up

1:19:03.640 --> 1:19:05.160
<v Speaker 30>this long continuous shot.

1:19:05.240 --> 1:19:06.719
<v Speaker 4>It was like a continuous shot.

1:19:06.520 --> 1:19:08.880
<v Speaker 1>That was it was at least like two minutes long,

1:19:09.439 --> 1:19:11.479
<v Speaker 1>and it was you know, it was outdoor, it was

1:19:11.520 --> 1:19:14.360
<v Speaker 1>coming up, the camera was moving some distance in a

1:19:14.439 --> 1:19:16.920
<v Speaker 1>continuous shot, and it had to you know, there's certain

1:19:16.960 --> 1:19:20.560
<v Speaker 1>activity that needed to be choreographed, and you know, the

1:19:20.680 --> 1:19:27.760
<v Speaker 1>stage and we started walking the trailer you know, where

1:19:27.800 --> 1:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the camera track would be.

1:19:30.360 --> 1:19:31.400
<v Speaker 4>And it was very timed.

1:19:31.479 --> 1:19:34.200
<v Speaker 1>It was like if you see it's a film called

1:19:34.240 --> 1:19:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Touch of Evil that has like an opening shot at

1:19:36.479 --> 1:19:38.479
<v Speaker 1>continuous shot it's like several minutes long.

1:19:38.520 --> 1:19:39.120
<v Speaker 4>It's brilliant.

1:19:39.200 --> 1:19:41.679
<v Speaker 1>It's like you know, ballet, because all of these different

1:19:41.920 --> 1:19:45.760
<v Speaker 1>pieces of activity of choreographed as the camera's moving, so

1:19:46.439 --> 1:19:50.920
<v Speaker 1>timing is key. So this was something similar that Michelle

1:19:51.080 --> 1:19:53.800
<v Speaker 1>was doing. And we started walking the camera track and

1:19:53.920 --> 1:19:57.080
<v Speaker 1>he was with you know, a few of the other

1:19:57.640 --> 1:20:05.200
<v Speaker 1>cinematography and associate direct and stuff like this, and not

1:20:05.320 --> 1:20:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the associate director but one of the production officials. So

1:20:11.479 --> 1:20:13.320

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's amazing.

1:22:39.200 --> 1:22:41.720
<v Speaker 15>You guys don't think about merging the two worlds, the

1:22:41.880 --> 1:22:43.080
<v Speaker 15>music and the cinema.

1:22:43.560 --> 1:22:46.719
<v Speaker 4>Because of your background and bringing that together like Blackstar,

1:22:46.880 --> 1:22:47.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like.

1:22:48.840 --> 1:22:51.760
<v Speaker 9>Cast got the movie if it's something.

1:22:51.640 --> 1:22:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Organic, I mean, but you know, I mean for me,

1:22:55.080 --> 1:22:57.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't really.

1:22:58.680 --> 1:23:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course I think in those terms in terms of

1:23:00.920 --> 1:23:05.720
<v Speaker 1>like you know, awareness of you know, capabilities, but I

1:23:05.800 --> 1:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>don't really create entertainment products per se as products. No,

1:23:10.600 --> 1:23:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I just don't have that type of And I'm not

1:23:12.600 --> 1:23:14.200
<v Speaker 1>down in that. There's some people who do it and

1:23:14.240 --> 1:23:17.360
<v Speaker 1>they're like they're really good at that, but that's never been.

1:23:17.760 --> 1:23:20.960
<v Speaker 15>So when you create, thinking this thing is a commodity

1:23:21.040 --> 1:23:24.280
<v Speaker 15>that's sold in I mean, I'm aware.

1:23:24.000 --> 1:23:26.479
<v Speaker 28>Of that, but I'm not focused on that. That's not

1:23:26.600 --> 1:23:33.080
<v Speaker 28>that they are worked with Eddie Murphy and and they

1:23:33.120 --> 1:23:40.599
<v Speaker 28>stopped your crib to they that's an underrated movie. That's

1:23:40.640 --> 1:23:41.360
<v Speaker 28>an underrated movie.

1:23:41.439 --> 1:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Eddie was very like super cool to me, Like it

1:23:44.920 --> 1:23:47.880
<v Speaker 1>was crazy, like it came up like it's a last

1:23:48.040 --> 1:23:48.720

1:24:08.640 --> 1:24:16.080
<v Speaker 1>like he was saying out like you totally capable of

<v Speaker 1>was Eddie. It was crazy. The way I met it

1:24:25.760 --> 1:24:30.160

<v Speaker 1>at the time, stand at the Chutte on my man.

1:24:33.280 --> 1:24:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Somebody said, Prince is having an after party for his

1:24:38.520 --> 1:24:42.599
<v Speaker 1>show at one of these little cafes on Sunset.

1:24:42.640 --> 1:24:44.639
<v Speaker 4>I was like, where it was. The place is directly

1:24:44.680 --> 1:24:47.560

1:24:58.320 --> 1:24:59.240
<v Speaker 4>but I can't.

1:24:59.280 --> 1:25:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I walked in and they took me to a room

1:25:03.240 --> 1:25:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and they said just wait here, you know less you know,

1:25:05.240 --> 1:25:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and the show is about to start whatever like that.

1:25:07.720 --> 1:25:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And then I walked into like another smaller room that

1:25:10.880 --> 1:25:13.559
<v Speaker 1>was behind that like do like a saloon type door.

1:25:14.040 --> 1:25:15.680

<v Speaker 1>poked my head through the door because I saw Eddie

1:25:41.040 --> 1:25:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Murphy sitting there just with two other people, I immediately

1:25:43.640 --> 1:25:48.320
<v Speaker 1>assumed I walked in the wrong room because Eddie Murphy

1:25:48.360 --> 1:25:48.800

1:26:08.880 --> 1:26:10.120
<v Speaker 1>who would let us sit and they were like, no, no,

1:26:10.200 --> 1:26:13.880

1:26:14.000 --> 1:26:15.320

<v Speaker 1>for that, you could possibly be easily manipulated and very often,

1:30:25.680 --> 1:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and I have a proper perspective on where you really are,

1:30:30.240 --> 1:30:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, and critics get praised a lot. I tell you,

1:30:37.760 --> 1:30:39.680
<v Speaker 1>what are you saying this? I'm like, oh no, you

1:30:39.720 --> 1:30:45.920
<v Speaker 1>ain't a wanting to myself. But it's just you know,

1:30:46.040 --> 1:30:47.439
<v Speaker 1>it's not adjustment on anybody.

1:30:47.479 --> 1:30:47.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just like.

1:30:49.760 --> 1:30:53.360
<v Speaker 1>For me, like but it's just like you know, now

1:30:53.439 --> 1:30:56.240
<v Speaker 1>that we have the record out, I don't really read

1:30:56.280 --> 1:30:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the reviews but so much, you know what I'm saying.

1:30:58.840 --> 1:31:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I've seen certain comments or whatever, but I try not

1:31:01.960 --> 1:31:05.600
<v Speaker 1>to pay attention to them, either way positive or otherwise,

1:31:05.680 --> 1:31:09.640
<v Speaker 1>because ultimately, the thing is how I feel about it

1:31:10.120 --> 1:31:13.439
<v Speaker 1>before I do it, as I'm doing it after it's done.

1:31:14.080 --> 1:31:17.720
<v Speaker 1>So I have to live with my relationship with what

1:31:17.920 --> 1:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I do longer than anybody anyway. So it's it's important

1:31:22.320 --> 1:31:25.760
<v Speaker 1>for me to feel good about what it is I'm doing,

1:31:25.920 --> 1:31:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and I mean, of course it's.

1:31:27.000 --> 1:31:28.599
<v Speaker 4>Room for improving with human beings.

1:31:28.640 --> 1:31:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not perfect, but you know that I was damn there,

1:31:31.840 --> 1:31:33.719
<v Speaker 1>that's the perfect man this new album?

1:31:33.840 --> 1:31:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah you.

1:31:44.040 --> 1:31:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Did?

1:31:44.200 --> 1:31:46.960
<v Speaker 4>You always feel that way about creating.

1:31:48.479 --> 1:31:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I was always amazed by people who were able to

1:31:51.800 --> 1:31:55.080
<v Speaker 1>do it professionally and not have to do anything else.

1:31:55.560 --> 1:31:57.679
<v Speaker 4>And to me, that was the entire victory.

1:31:58.320 --> 1:32:01.400
<v Speaker 1>If you could get to do this, to be an artist,

1:32:01.560 --> 1:32:05.519
<v Speaker 1>to be a creative professionally without having to have a

1:32:05.640 --> 1:32:09.360
<v Speaker 1>secondary gig that you may or may not like and

1:32:09.439 --> 1:32:11.400
<v Speaker 1>that you're only doing, you know, to like keep the

1:32:11.479 --> 1:32:15.000
<v Speaker 1>light song, so to speak. To me, that was the whole,

1:32:16.600 --> 1:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the whole magic trick so to speak, you know, not

1:32:19.240 --> 1:32:21.720
<v Speaker 1>even the trick, but like that was the like that

1:32:21.880 --> 1:32:24.439
<v Speaker 1>was the measure of success because it means that it's

1:32:24.479 --> 1:32:27.240
<v Speaker 1>something that you are good at doing, that you enjoy doing,

1:32:27.640 --> 1:32:30.880
<v Speaker 1>that you can get to do on a like earned

1:32:30.960 --> 1:32:34.240
<v Speaker 1>daily bread level. That's like, you know, short feet. I

1:32:34.240 --> 1:32:38.400
<v Speaker 1>remember when Drake said that, you know, rappers when they

1:32:38.439 --> 1:32:39.960
<v Speaker 1>wrapped to pay their bill shit and all, like this

1:32:40.160 --> 1:32:41.040
<v Speaker 1>is not even a little bit.

1:32:41.280 --> 1:32:42.080
<v Speaker 4>And I thought about that.

1:32:42.160 --> 1:32:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, if anybody can rap good enough, to

1:32:44.800 --> 1:32:46.080
<v Speaker 1>get one bill paid.

1:32:47.280 --> 1:32:48.760
<v Speaker 4>Like if somebody say like, oh, you.

1:32:48.800 --> 1:32:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Know, what's your phone bill or what's your cable bill

1:32:50.760 --> 1:32:52.160
<v Speaker 1>or whatever it be, Like, no, don't worry about it.

1:32:52.360 --> 1:32:54.200
<v Speaker 1>You know I put in sixteen bars a month and

1:32:54.280 --> 1:32:57.240
<v Speaker 1>then you know they just cover my my cable.

1:32:57.439 --> 1:32:58.720
<v Speaker 9>Right, that's pretty good.

1:32:59.000 --> 1:33:01.120
<v Speaker 4>They made it. I mean the man I have made it.

1:33:01.200 --> 1:33:03.280
<v Speaker 1>But then you are good enough to get a bill

1:33:03.360 --> 1:33:07.639
<v Speaker 1>paid or somebody will accept your creative work as currency.

1:33:08.640 --> 1:33:09.320
<v Speaker 4>Incredible to me.

1:33:12.720 --> 1:33:17.880
<v Speaker 3>We are never getting say I'm anna pacifist. I stabbed

1:33:17.920 --> 1:33:19.840

1:41:20.160 --> 1:41:21.040
<v Speaker 7>It's not a competition.

1:41:23.479 --> 1:41:25.439
<v Speaker 4>He was on States and then I'm saying, that's the

1:41:25.560 --> 1:41:26.719
<v Speaker 4>relations to Michael Jackson.

<v Speaker 5>Not the Netflix. Uh, well well it was through Netflix

1:42:23.760 --> 1:42:28.560
<v Speaker 5>the Chapelle Show. I'm right now trying to buy my

<v Speaker 5>my first two albums and they're actually complying with me.

1:42:34.920 --> 1:42:37.840
<v Speaker 4>They just did it too, the same label.

1:42:44.120 --> 1:42:47.360
<v Speaker 5>How was that day for people that artists, you know,

1:42:47.439 --> 1:42:49.800
<v Speaker 5>whether it's a comedian, whether it's a you.

1:42:49.840 --> 1:42:52.600
<v Speaker 9>Know, come in and not knowing the deals that they

1:42:52.720 --> 1:42:55.120
<v Speaker 9>signed and and and retracted those deals.

1:42:56.560 --> 1:42:58.639
<v Speaker 4>How was it for you? Man?

1:42:58.840 --> 1:43:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Look Laurd in all honesty, this is a complicated discussion, right,

1:43:06.240 --> 1:43:07.280
<v Speaker 3>but you know what, I know.

1:43:09.280 --> 1:43:14.240
<v Speaker 4>We should say much more than that. Well now, but

1:43:14.400 --> 1:43:17.720
<v Speaker 4>I know, you know, you know, I know that.

1:43:24.040 --> 1:43:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Black Star, black Star releases album away. Let nobody released

1:43:30.240 --> 1:43:33.080
<v Speaker 3>the album for us? Yes, because they know too?

1:43:34.160 --> 1:43:34.680
<v Speaker 16>What do we know?

1:43:35.640 --> 1:43:38.400
<v Speaker 4>We need to own our own We well, whatever we

1:43:38.600 --> 1:43:39.720
<v Speaker 4>know and we know.

1:43:42.120 --> 1:43:42.559
<v Speaker 16>This is what.

1:43:44.160 --> 1:43:48.960
<v Speaker 3>This is what I call expensive knowledge, which what you

1:43:49.080 --> 1:43:51.200
<v Speaker 3>had to go through to know what you know? In

1:43:51.280 --> 1:43:56.040
<v Speaker 3>this regard, that's a tough one, right, So what we already.

1:43:55.800 --> 1:43:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Take, right, we know.

1:44:00.960 --> 1:44:05.920
<v Speaker 9>And we know, yes, you know, it's confidence, right.

1:44:07.439 --> 1:44:14.680
<v Speaker 3>And listen, it's the only career we got. I think

1:44:14.720 --> 1:44:18.400
<v Speaker 3>we're all protecting something. There's a certain artistic truth.

1:44:19.479 --> 1:44:20.000
<v Speaker 17>We have to be.

1:44:21.840 --> 1:44:25.680
<v Speaker 3>True to, the true, to our muse. This is why

1:44:25.720 --> 1:44:28.840
<v Speaker 3>I love this Black Star record. Twenty four years and

1:44:28.920 --> 1:44:32.960
<v Speaker 3>they drop like it's nothing. It still sound as young

1:44:33.000 --> 1:44:38.679
<v Speaker 3>as they did when they started, and the ill bars

1:44:38.760 --> 1:44:41.360
<v Speaker 3>the albums called no Fear Time, What's young?

1:44:41.920 --> 1:44:44.719
<v Speaker 4>But I was me the whole time.

1:44:44.880 --> 1:44:47.760
<v Speaker 3>I can remember if I think back, how eight year

1:44:47.800 --> 1:44:49.960
<v Speaker 3>old meat felt at this time of that time.

1:44:51.760 --> 1:44:53.880
<v Speaker 6>Mhm, you close your eyes you can see it.

1:44:54.080 --> 1:44:57.120
<v Speaker 4>I was me the whole time. I was me the

1:44:57.240 --> 1:44:57.840
<v Speaker 4>whole time.

1:45:00.520 --> 1:45:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Listen, whatever whatever happened happened, whatever will happen will happen.

1:45:07.360 --> 1:45:08.519

<v Speaker 3>The fact that I get to touch this process.

1:45:43.439 --> 1:45:47.280

<v Speaker 4>Don now I'm not talking.

1:46:47.240 --> 1:46:48.639
<v Speaker 2>Them on I'm.

1:46:51.560 --> 1:46:54.719
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, but but let me just take something,

1:46:56.160 --> 1:46:59.479
<v Speaker 5>the combination, the camaraderie, y'all.

1:46:59.439 --> 1:47:00.680
<v Speaker 4>Together, the chemistry.

1:47:00.880 --> 1:47:07.120
<v Speaker 5>This is your home too, you know, chemistry for Brooklynlyn

1:47:07.920 --> 1:47:10.599
<v Speaker 5>because it's New York City and then it's.

1:47:10.520 --> 1:47:15.439
<v Speaker 4>Brooklyn, no stop, other than Brooklyn, nigga, that's.

1:47:17.080 --> 1:47:18.840
<v Speaker 6>The planet.

1:47:19.640 --> 1:47:21.080
<v Speaker 4>No disagreed.

1:47:29.920 --> 1:47:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Bears The of the population in New York City, Yes,

1:47:33.640 --> 1:47:36.400
<v Speaker 1>that's just the facts. If that's changed in recent years,

1:47:37.120 --> 1:47:39.960
<v Speaker 1>unberknownst to me. If there's a more populous city in

1:47:40.439 --> 1:47:42.880
<v Speaker 1>in New York City and the boroughs right now, then

1:47:42.920 --> 1:47:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I stand to be corrected. But as far as I know,

1:47:45.640 --> 1:47:48.400
<v Speaker 1>as far as I'm aware, the majority of people who

1:47:48.439 --> 1:47:51.040
<v Speaker 1>live in New York City live in Brooklyn, New York.

1:47:51.720 --> 1:47:57.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a historic borough of historic events, of people, of

1:47:57.680 --> 1:48:04.759
<v Speaker 1>of of prestige and great achievement from all areas legal

1:48:04.920 --> 1:48:05.959
<v Speaker 1>and elicit.

1:48:07.320 --> 1:48:09.920
<v Speaker 4>Uh you know what I mean, and.

1:48:13.200 --> 1:48:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Home to some of the greatest of seas they have

1:48:16.320 --> 1:48:20.400
<v Speaker 1>ever breathed air. And I mean it's not for like,

1:48:20.640 --> 1:48:24.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, for Ego's sake. I mean, you know, we're

1:48:24.560 --> 1:48:27.640
<v Speaker 1>doing what we've been allowed to do. You know, we

1:48:27.880 --> 1:48:31.439
<v Speaker 1>have the facility capacities do it, and that's truly a gift.

1:48:32.600 --> 1:48:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to avoid treating the gifts like an achievement,

1:48:35.920 --> 1:48:36.519
<v Speaker 1>because it's not.

1:48:38.479 --> 1:48:40.599
<v Speaker 4>What you do with your gift is the real achievement.

1:48:40.760 --> 1:48:45.519
<v Speaker 1>And you know, without sounding to whatever I mean, that's

1:48:45.600 --> 1:48:47.400
<v Speaker 1>just the way I really feel about it. We try

1:48:47.439 --> 1:48:50.080
<v Speaker 1>to help as many as we can help, to do

1:48:50.200 --> 1:48:52.000
<v Speaker 1>good for ourselves so we can do good for others.

1:48:53.080 --> 1:48:54.760
<v Speaker 4>Say what me mean, mean what we.

1:48:54.840 --> 1:49:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Say, don't be mean, don't take ship from nobody under

1:49:01.240 --> 1:49:02.200
<v Speaker 1>any circumstance.

1:49:04.000 --> 1:49:05.800
<v Speaker 4>Just remain humble and do.

1:49:07.960 --> 1:49:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Beautiful things with the time that we've been given here

1:49:11.600 --> 1:49:14.519
<v Speaker 1>on earth, with the capabilities and facilities that we have,

1:49:15.560 --> 1:49:21.439
<v Speaker 1>so we express that in what we do. It's been

1:49:21.479 --> 1:49:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the better part of my adult life. And I can

1:49:23.360 --> 1:49:26.800
<v Speaker 1>say the same for Dave and for for Talban, for

1:49:26.920 --> 1:49:30.600
<v Speaker 1>many of us in this room, and so honor to

1:49:30.640 --> 1:49:32.600
<v Speaker 1>be here and chop of the children. Just about the

1:49:32.880 --> 1:49:35.360
<v Speaker 1>about the culture too, And I wanted to say one

1:49:35.439 --> 1:49:36.880
<v Speaker 1>thing too, because I see these you guys have to

1:49:36.880 --> 1:49:41.639
<v Speaker 1>push the t on on yes recently, and you're asking

1:49:41.680 --> 1:49:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the question about the crime narrative or the drug narrative

1:49:48.160 --> 1:49:52.640
<v Speaker 1>that appears in so much of his work, and you know,

1:49:53.120 --> 1:49:58.679
<v Speaker 1>I've spoken with pushed it directly about my very.

1:50:02.160 --> 1:50:06.520
<v Speaker 4>My perspective or that directly, you know, And I wouldn't.

1:50:06.120 --> 1:50:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Say that as many talented writers out here, many people

1:50:09.720 --> 1:50:13.519
<v Speaker 1>with strong powers of observation, particularly as you know, people

1:50:13.520 --> 1:50:15.920
<v Speaker 1>who call themselves mcs, are part of this thing that

1:50:16.120 --> 1:50:24.280
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. What we put our talent towards promoting or

1:50:26.760 --> 1:50:31.840
<v Speaker 1>speaking about or addressing is UH is important as far

1:50:31.920 --> 1:50:35.120
<v Speaker 1>as as I could see, and particularly coming from our

1:50:35.200 --> 1:50:40.920
<v Speaker 1>communities where so many people were negatively affected by that

1:50:42.600 --> 1:50:45.599
<v Speaker 1>presence and still are. And with that being said, there's

1:50:45.640 --> 1:50:49.599
<v Speaker 1>no judgment on anybody who's done that or is doing

1:50:49.720 --> 1:50:54.160
<v Speaker 1>that this at this point, you know, I have no

1:50:54.320 --> 1:50:56.120
<v Speaker 1>judgment on it. That's what I'm saying that Like, oh

1:50:56.200 --> 1:50:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you you know, cause trust me, you know I have.

1:51:00.040 --> 1:51:02.880
<v Speaker 1>We all got friends and family and somebody that was

1:51:02.960 --> 1:51:05.120
<v Speaker 1>in that, and it's no judgment on the day humanity

1:51:05.200 --> 1:51:05.519
<v Speaker 1>to them.

1:51:05.479 --> 1:51:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Is That's not what I'm saying.

1:51:07.040 --> 1:51:11.320
<v Speaker 1>But when it comes to what we promote as lifestyles

1:51:11.439 --> 1:51:15.080
<v Speaker 1>or ideas, well, you know, that has impact, that has weight,

1:51:15.479 --> 1:51:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I don't think we need any more

1:51:18.840 --> 1:51:24.000
<v Speaker 1>crack commercials for our community or for our humanity at

1:51:24.040 --> 1:51:27.040
<v Speaker 1>this point, particularly given the space and time that we

1:51:27.160 --> 1:51:28.120
<v Speaker 1>are in as.

1:51:29.880 --> 1:51:31.479
<v Speaker 4>Members of the human race.

1:51:31.600 --> 1:51:33.720
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, try to do as much

1:51:33.800 --> 1:51:36.880
<v Speaker 1>good as you can, you know, do no harm where

1:51:36.880 --> 1:51:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it is possible, you know, especially if it's unnecessary. And

1:51:40.680 --> 1:51:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I like to see the rights there are talented that

1:51:44.040 --> 1:51:46.120
<v Speaker 1>actually have something to say. I'll be curious about what

1:51:46.160 --> 1:51:47.559
<v Speaker 1>they have to say about what's.

1:51:47.439 --> 1:51:49.400
<v Speaker 4>Going on with all of us, not just going on

1:51:49.720 --> 1:51:53.560
<v Speaker 4>one niche of the world, you know.

1:51:56.760 --> 1:51:58.840
<v Speaker 1>And when I see it put towards that, I'm like, damn,

1:51:58.880 --> 1:52:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think those powers be put to better use,

1:52:01.880 --> 1:52:07.840
<v Speaker 1>you know. With that being said, also, I feel like

1:52:07.920 --> 1:52:12.639
<v Speaker 1>what we've done and what I've been contributing up until

1:52:12.680 --> 1:52:18.360
<v Speaker 1>this point and with this current project is without powallel,

1:52:19.320 --> 1:52:21.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's what we're doing is at the top

1:52:21.960 --> 1:52:27.320
<v Speaker 1>of the register in terms of quality, consistency, theme, aim, creativity.

1:52:28.120 --> 1:52:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we sacrifice any of the overall elements

1:52:31.400 --> 1:52:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that people want to hear, you know, from MC's or

1:52:35.040 --> 1:52:39.040
<v Speaker 1>from black Men in particular. I think I approaches courageous.

1:52:39.160 --> 1:52:44.599
<v Speaker 1>I think it's noble. I think it's it's a classic. Yeah,

1:52:44.680 --> 1:52:47.160
<v Speaker 1>for sure, don't stop avoid it that world. No no,

1:52:47.320 --> 1:52:50.639
<v Speaker 1>but it's a classic because it embodies all of those elements,

1:52:51.160 --> 1:52:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, and it's uh, it's well

1:52:55.280 --> 1:53:04.040
<v Speaker 1>crafted as well as any well crafted class say material.
