00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: listens to R and B or sold it all. She

69
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: just only listens to to trap music, which is beautiful.

70
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,800

Speaker 1: I'm sure that's what she listened to growing up. And yeah,

75
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: so it's a thing some people just don't listen too.

76
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: We're trying to change that. We're trying to change to

77

100
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: We were a youth movement, the youth movement exactly that. Well,

101
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: it's a couple of things here into this, you know.

102
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: It was it was of course we were following behind

103
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: John p. K. Anything the New Life did that's what

104
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: we was on. But we also founded the first Christian

105
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: fraternities fraternity and sorority, So you know that that that's

106
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: that's where our kind of youth movement kind of grew

107
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: and began those moves that do step what is it

108
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: like a PG step show. I mean some of the

109
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: brothers had pledged worldly fraternities before they real quick you

110
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: gonna catch little boy doing they try to put him

111
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: in one of the fraternities. I don't think you're gonna

112
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: let him in the church one, but we don't judge.

113
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: If you want to be part of a q A,

114
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: you can't. Moving on, it's going to be good. It's

115
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: gonna be think about Christian fraternity anyway. So church any

116
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: singing in high school? Yes, Um, I went to Duke

117
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: Ellington School the Arts for a little while. I guess

118
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Yeah, they let me in. I don't

119
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: know why else, and I um, I was always skipping,

120
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: but it was the school I like the most. I

121
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: stayed there in the longest there. I was always skipping. Yeah,

122
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: especially the last year he was cutting at the School

123
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: of the Arts. Yeah, I just I didn't feel like

124
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: a star and it I think like I felt kind

125
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: of like no one really cared. But towards the end,

126
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: like my teacher Mr. Bonds, I missed. I think I'm

127
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: saying his name right, forgive me, sir, but I, um,

128
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: he was very nice towards the end, like I feel

129
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: like he started to appreciate it, or like finding out

130
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: that I could sing, like he saw something in me

131
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: in the end. But by then I was running from

132
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: this X who moved on with some girl and they

133
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: were always being affectionate in school and it just killed

134
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: me inside. So I just I couldn't be at school

135
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: to see so I would be at the museums and stuff,

136
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: just skipping and riding the train by myself. So the

137
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: relationship aspect of your music, this started along always sadness,

138
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: always single, Yeah, always sadness, always single. Yeah, well sadness

139
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: because of the single right there? Not well yeah, I

140
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: guess sadness in other ways too, but like, yeah, it's

141
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: always been at things. It is content, it really is.

142
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: It's always there is this something that you consistently tap

143
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: into when you're writing your records. Um, I'm always thinking

144
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: about what's going on, and I feel like, yeah, it's

145
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: always what's ever happening now, Like I go on the studio. Now, well,

146
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: I guess I wouldn't have much to write about at

147
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: this point, well if it regards the romance. But yeah,

148
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: so let's go to Discovery. Okay, Discovery Discovery. So you're

181
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: just always just kept doing it, and I was ready

182
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: to leave it all for this man. But he went

183
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: to the Middle he went to the military, and so

184
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: I was forced to kind of like focus on my dreams.

185
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: But like I really I always want to leave this

186
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: for love and start a family, Like I don't want

187
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: to keep doing No, you're not really know We're going

188
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: to get to that, okay, we sad I don't want

189
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: to give that much energy to like this. Man. Man, man,

190
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: it's like, I want a family. I feel like that

191
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: is that's true life, that's our true love. Like to

192
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: have a family is beautiful, it seems so I want that.

193
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: So for you, this is a moment in time. What

194
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: the music? Wow, I guess the moment. It never stops nothing.

195
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: How do you like? It's like, yes, this is great.

196
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm very grateful for the bands I think in I

197
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: don't want to skip over getting to the discovery because

198
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: we're right here and I just want to address it.

199
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: I think there is so much um, there's so much

200
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: gold um. There's so many lessons within your gift, um,

201
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: within just who you are and what you represent. And

202
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: I feel like there are so many little girls who

203
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: look like you try to sing like you, They try

204
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: to look like you, to try to emulate your movements,

205
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: to try to emulate your sound, your essence. And because

206
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: we don't have a lot of real talent, real singers,

207
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: real things that we grew up on that inspired us.

208
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: And so when someone like you comes around, and I

209
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: definitely understand the matters of the heart for sure, I

210
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: understand it. You know what I mean? I'm I'm married,

211
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: So I've i've I've kind of figured mine out. I'm

212
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: still working on but you know, I feel but it's

213
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: like there's a there's the other, there's another side to

214
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: that purpose that is just ongoing. As you keep saying,

215
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: it just keeps going, like no matter what else I

216
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: tried to do, I was like, yeah, I'm gonna play football.

217
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: I'll be seeing on the field first, I'll be singing

218
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: the you Can't hold Me. You know, it always grabbed

219
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: me and brought me back, you know, even when I

220
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: wanted to quit music, you know what I mean. I'm I'm,

221
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: I tell this story all the time. I'm at Jamie's

222
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: house and I'm like, I'm done. This music game isn't

223
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: about music. It's about all of these other things that

224
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to be part of. And this is

225
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: two thousand two, this is before social media, before all

226
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: of this that, you know, And even then, I feel

227
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: like that. Then I was like I'm better than him,

228
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm better, I'm better than her, he's I'm better. And

229
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: I was like, they won't spend money on me. I

230
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: got all of this, I do all of that, and

231
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: they're not feeling I'm gonna just go back home and

232
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: go to church. And one of the craziest moments of

233
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: clarity ever in in my musical musical life was Jamie

234
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: Foxx saying, you can't quit because if if you leave,

235
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: then what am I gonna do? And I was like,

236
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. He's like, I

237
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: look to you, I listened to you. You inspire me,

238
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: so who's gonna do that? And his sister, who don't

239
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: really play no games, like, yeah, you stuff. So I

240
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: stayed in his house, he made He made me stay

241
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: at his house, use the studio and all of that

242
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: until I just figured my life out. But I say

243
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: all that to bring that back around is that I

244
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: didn't know who. I didn't know what my true purpose was,

245
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: because the beauty of what you just said is you

246
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: weren't looking for money or fame. There came a point

247
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: to where I thought that that was the validation and

248
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: I lost sight of what my true purpose was. And

249
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm meant to give and inspire. I'm here to serve.

250
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: And once I was able to accept that, everything else

251
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: fell into place, and you have so much to give.

252
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: As I listened to your music like I'm listening to you,

253
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm working out what you like it. That's it, it's

254
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: in here. Now. You got a real gift. You absolutely

255
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: have a real gift, even from a from a songwriters

256
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: standpoint to how you think now talking to you and

257
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: kind of seeing you in your reactions to things, things

258
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: are making even more sense to me as I've listened

259
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: to your music, because obviously you know we have the music,

260
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: and you make your assumptions off of whatever from the music.

261
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: But then you actually meet the person, You're like, oh,

262
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: I get it. It all makes sense, and I think

263
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: you know yourself Summer walker Um sayssor like it's very

264

265
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: listened to you, it feels very honest, you know what

266
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: I mean? Like you got a lyrical you tell her

455
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: It's vain, I said, but it's a response. How do

456
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: we get every a column response? We need everybody to

457
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: know your name and know the effect that you have

458
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: on women. It has to be completely associated with your name.

459
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: That's the last track I actually produced on the NPC

460
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: before I switched off the computer and logic all that stuff.

461
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: But that was the last one, and I was like,

462
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: I got one. But to me, it was nothing vain

463
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: about that song. He still adamantly was trying to please her, absolutely,

464
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: But think about this though, like you want, Like Jenie,

465
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: I used to do it all the time. He used

466
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: to always put g in everything. He still always trying

467
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: to find a way to throw a G in. You

468
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Whatever song he was singing, right,

469
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: so you know you sing that about me and so oh.

470
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: I think we were consciously trying to make sure that

471
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: you know his name because he was coming from a

472
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: group that separate him unless he is oh than the loco. Oh,

473
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: that's always oh sing oh and Oh, it's gonna give

474
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,959
Speaker 1: it to you. You know what I'm saying. He might

475
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: have had like he was doing something turned into he

476
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: was spinning with it. That's that's took it too far.

477
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: When you come from a dancing world, when you come

478
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: from a dancing the world like myself, Like when you dance.

479
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You try you try to

480
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: try to make this guy dancer. Now he's a dancer.

481
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: This is the thing I danced in my first video,

482
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: Monster Dances. You know what I'm saying. But it seems

483
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: like it's a correlation between me dancing and the song

484
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: is not working. Why I stopping That's the only reason

485
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 1: I stopped dancing. But I can dance start again. I

486
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: want to see, I do. I do want to see.

487
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: It's not going to do this to do this for

488
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: your flavors, you know, but I didn't think you'd really

489
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 1: do it. Have you written any records for anyone else? Never?

490
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: I did a session, um with someone really amazing. I

491
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: won't say her name because I don't know if it's

492
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: weird to say I don't. I don't know if it would,

493
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: but I did a session with her, and um, yeah

494
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: that was cool. That was really cool. It was my

495
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: first time. I think that was my first time outside

496
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: of this song I thought was for Rihanna. Yeah right,

497
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: I think sure, Yeah, I think you should write for

498
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: more people. I don't know. No, you're not ready to

499
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: get away. I'm not when it's not even that I

500
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: take him like I would love. I don't know if

501
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: I have, I've lost I think my passion for writing. Honestly,

502
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't really know what else to say at this point.

503
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: I am I gonna talk about I think that's when

504
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: writing for other people becomes becomes special, because it's like,

505
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, let me tell me your story, story down

506
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like, give me, let's let's just hang

00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: to talking trash like Cay Michelle just you know, she's prediculous.

514
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: So we just we just go at it. But I'm like, so,

515
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: I said, I saw you another online other day, just

516
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: talk you. I don't know why you be online talking crazy.

517
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: I'm telling her when I was doing the same thing.

518
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: And She's like this, na funk that, you know what

519
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like he had the write one. I was

520
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 1: the right one that motherucker tried to write one. I said, oh, Ship,

521
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 1: you've got yeah, bla blast on Twitter and I'm gonna

522
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: blast back. I said, yeah, yeah yeah. And that became

523
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: like that was exciting game. It's like a game, like

524
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: a puzzle piece. All this is beautiful. It's psychology too,

525
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: it's and and it's getting it out. The worst things

526
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: you can do is just had it breathing inside of

527
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: you and you just never like, let me, let keeping

528
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: the gift to yourself, keep the gift to you. I'll

529
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: stop the world, stop thinking about going to school for psychology,

530
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: and this could be a way to well, I mean

531
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: music for me, it's completely therapeutic. Yeah, maybe you know

532
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like my my my wife is always

533
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: looking for certain emotions out of me, are certain responses

534
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: out of me, um, and they're not available. Because I

535
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: put it all in my music. I'm able to meet

536
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: her at a at a better place because I just,

537
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: I just I do all the sparring and all the screaming,

538
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: and you know all that I put that in my music.

539
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: So therefore, when I find me get to talk to her,

540
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: it's I'm in this place. That's good. Let her. But

541
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: I think I think as he's saying, I think you

542
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: have a lot to offer in that space, which is

543
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: an awesome space. You know what I mean to um,

544
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: to further the legacy of who you are, because I well,

545
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: I know this is no excuse for me and comparison

546
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: to you and you and so many other legends. I've

547
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: been writing like all my life, I've wrote this mixtape.

548
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: There was a mixtape I did way back in the

549
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: day called five Finger Discount. Then there was Areography, and

550
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: then there was Shad but Her Baby, and these were

551
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 1: all the things that I wrote myself. And then by

552
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: the time Shape Butter Baby happened, I feel like I

553
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: was just after after that, I was just burnt the

554
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:09,479
Speaker 1: funk out, like thin and you gotta plaque off that record. Yeah,

555
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: let's cues. Yeah, this this same music that's just living somewhere.

556
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: And then I slip everyone under a bush music is

557
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: living worldwide, millions of people mothers. What goes in what

558
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: goes into the thinking when you're writing a record like

559
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: Shape by the Baby for you, like, what was what

560
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: were your thoughts with that record? I was literally my

561
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: friend Elite. He's amazing, an amazing person, amazing producer, and

562
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: we're always kind of like playing in the studio. We're

563
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: not it doesn't feel like work. So I think I

564
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: was playing Sims, either playing Sims probably on the side.

565
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: Probably SIMS was around since three computer game and uh

566
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: sour Patches, probably somewhere around eating sour batches. And I

567
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: think I literally was doing my hair on the couch

568
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: with Shade Butter Like I was literally doing my hair,

569
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: um and it just happened. And then my friend or manager,

570
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: Maddie Um for many years or many years back, like

571
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: he would just jokingly call me like a shade butter

572
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: baby before I would get on stage. And so I

573
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: feel like all of it kind of like matched in

574
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: that studio moment, like that, were you really leaving shade

575
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: butter on niggas on purpose? Not on purpose? Not on purpose?

576
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: But I mean it's just like, yeah, literally right here,

577
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: she even wrote a song. I've never thought about this,

578
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: but this is how I mean when we really pillows

579
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: are out there, I mean purpose yeah, damn, I've never

580
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: thought about it, but I yeah, I destroyed so many

581
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: pillows just naturally, naturally because of the oils in my hair.

582
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: You know, there's all kinds of oils in there, is

583
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: castor oil, there's olive oil, shave butter sometimes and yeah,

584
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: stroied a lot of pillows, yeah, but not not noters

585
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: need it bad. I need it bad. But it's not

586
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: always a romantic thing. It's just you, yeah, the pillow

587
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: cases as though, because it's like all these oils and

588
00:40:47,400 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: sens it's like you get the reminisce when you know, damn, yeah, yourself, man,

589
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: She won't call me back. You wat that pillow brother,

590
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: even if she won't call you, but wash it out,

591
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: you're not coming back. Just watch it out, get over.

592
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: I don't. I just never thought of that. Never. That's

593
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: what the music does. What the music does, it travels,

594
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: It travels all of those songs and yours. Like I

595
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: said earlier, your songs are so vivid. Yeah, thank you.

596
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: That's a that that is a talent in itself. Thank you.

597
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: Like we appreciate the songwriter, thank you. The vocal is

598
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: one thing. Yes, you're in a great vocal. Thank you songwriter,

599
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: because that's that's the thought process that is like, Okay,

600
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: if I say it this way, it could hit you

601
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: know a little bit, But if I said this way,

602
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: it could sting. Yeah, I think I'm a wrecked person.

603
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: So I've really sing like how I talk and how

604
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: I communicate with people. And sometimes that can be too much.

605
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know, just right. But yeah, if yeah,

606
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: that's a thing. But it should be unapologetic for it

607
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: should be exactly how you feel it and how you

608
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: see it. Because as the art is consumed by consumers,

609
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: you aren't necessarily creating for them. You are just you

610
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: are creating first for you, like you're just singing it,

611
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: writing it, producing it the way you feel it. They're

612
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: not in the room when you're doing that. And you

613
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, it's not a gallery of people

614
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, change the lyrics or you know

615
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I'm singing it better. No, that's all you.

616
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: It's a painter on his east. So just all this

617
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: color will work right. Maybe maybe we'll throw some trees

618
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: right here, because some throw some trees in here and

619
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: you guys see and you can go fishing right in

620
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: here this bottom. But they're not involved in that process,

621
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: and so it should be exactly how you feel it.

622
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: And they have to decide if the art it's for

623
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: them or not. Yes, they do, Butax, you know what

624
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: it feels like. I don't think you know. I don't

625
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: think you know how big you are. I don't think

626
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: you know how influential you. I don't think you know

627
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: you know. I think you have a self worth for sure,

628
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: Yes you have that. I don't think you have the

629
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: full perspective maybe aloof for sure of like what you are, Yeah,

630
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: thank you, Yeah, it's I don't know what that like

631
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: when you were talking about the beautiful girl that like

632
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: that looked like me, that are inspired when they're listening

633
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: to this music. When I was saying those things, I

634
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: literally wasn't thinking about that part. That's literally my favorite part,

635
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: Like seeing young people are like just people, just black

636
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: women that funk with what I'm doing, women that funk

637
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: with what I'm doing, and it's it's everything to me,

638
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: And that is the exciting part seeing like, um, when

639
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: I got my transcripts at Theodore Roosevelt UM, the school

640
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: that I graduated from because duke go intown and graduate

641
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: from there, I got I got, yeah, I got kicked out.

642
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: Do you meet them in football? My god, get me

643
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: in trouble? Wow? That's amazing. Congrats though, great way to

644
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: say whatever, because I'm waiting here what you're talking about football?

645
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: Our Bundy ship. But it was it was great though.

646
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: I went there to pick up my transcripts and this

647
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: I um, this beautiful girl, she had locked. She was

648
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: gorgeous and she was like are you. I was like hi,

649
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: and we had this beautiful moment and it was just

650
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: it was unmatched. Like that was like I was surprised

651
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: at someone so young, like you're in high school and

652
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: you you funk with me like I was shocked. I'd

653
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: be shocked a lot. Yeah, I'll be shocked, and I

654
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: think and I've been taking um this, it's been weird.

655
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: It's been like ten days over ten days, i haven't

656
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,919
Speaker 1: been on the internet, and I've been kind of like

657
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: forced to be outside, but um more and more like

658
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm like more outside but um, yeah, I realized that

659
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: is a thing that needs to happen. I've been sheltered,

660
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: sheltered in the internet world and kind of like, um,

661
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: a slave to it, like really just addicted to it.

662
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: And so I feel like I'm finally waking up and

663
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: experiencing real life and real human connections. You know, there's

664
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: nothing like really getting to know people for who they

665
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: really are and they really are and they really are

666
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: and they really are, they really are. When we met people,

667
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 1: like we actually met people. You know what I'm saying.

668
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 1: You met, you sat down, your dance, you had a drink,

669
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You come over the house,

670
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and try to avoid their

671
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: mom and when you're running in like it was real interaction.

672
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: So getting comfortable with a person was way different. You

673
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying to you. You didn't have to

674
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: weed out a whole budget, you know what I'm saying.

675
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: And it's something if you knew somebody on the block

676
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: they had to. They had the four one one on them.

677
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: I need that, you know what I'm saying, d M

678
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: about them, and I'm done with that. You've done to

679
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 1: connect and be comfortable and have those maybe intimate moments,

680
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, without having this this this

681
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: this extra thought about motive and all of these other

682
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: things that go along with it, so you can meet

683
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: a shady person in real life. Sure, it's just literally

684
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: people are cat fishing in different ways, like they're sometimes

685
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: they're literally not who they say, but literally I've seen

686
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: people have completely different persona online and I would ask

687
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: the person like, why don't you show the world who

688
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: you really are? And you know, for whatever reason, they

689
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 1: refuse to people. So many people are living a lie,

690
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,479
Speaker 1: And it's just I'd rather meet people in real life

691
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: as they are. And I feel like the only way

692
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: you can really do that is take your time, like

693
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: literally get to know people like I can't. I just

694
00:47:53,360 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: can't afford anymore shady experiences. So I've really I'm guarded.

695
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm guarded a bit more. Arts tell you so trifling.

696
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy about that. It wasn't. I was

697
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: so mesmerized, but you know, in hindsight, it wasn't. It

698
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 1: was not It was not all of that. But I

699
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: was so the moment. It was the moment. It was

700
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 1: a moment. It was a moment, it was a good time.

701
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: And then after that it wasn't that great. I was

702
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: not great. That's how it normally is, though, Yeah, it's

703
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: normally you were like, what was that? Yeah? What the

704
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: fun was that? I really really Yeah, I romanticized, but

705
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: it's always hard when you're in it, you know what

706
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: I mean, to to consider outside of it, like you

707
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: just don't. You're just in it and you're going along

708
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: for the ride. So in your mind you're going to

709
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: process it was because you wanted. Yeah, you know what

710
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Damn. Yeah, And I'm realizing it's it's clear, Yeah,

711
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: it's all of it. It's I'm falling. I'm mesmerized by

712
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: all of it. How fine the person is, you know,

713
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: their soul, their energy, like all of these things, you know,

714
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: and you're a lover. Yeah, I can tell you're a

715
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,919
Speaker 1: hopeless romantic cure. I'm tired. I don't want to be

716
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you're even don't think you're going to

717
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: be able to change it. I think you can fight

718
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: it as long as you want, but you are. I'm changing.

719
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: I'm changing for the better. You're not going to do

720
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: But why Okay, here's that question though, why is it?

721
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 1: Why is it better to not be that? Why not

722
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: hopeless romance? Because it's literally it's it's toxic, it's you're

723
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: just so hopeful, it's too much hope, too much bright eyed, naive,

724
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: and it's it's said, it's so damn I love Disney,

725
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: but so damn Disney's I'm tired of being this little Cinderella.

726
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: You can be, I don't want to be together. I

727
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: think I think that na she wasn't given it nobody.

728
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: I think that you can be strong and still be

729
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: if she was. I'm trying to get out of the

730
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: Cinderella probably the other day of having fun and that's beautiful,

731
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: and that's beautiful. You can still be strong, trying to

732
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: give and hopeful. Yes, I mean hopeless, hopeless. You can hope, well,

733
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: we can say hopeless romantic, but you can still be

734
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: strong and hopeful at the same time. You can because

735
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: because I think that I'm a glass is half full

736
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: kind of guy. Anybody that knows me will tell you that,

737
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: wow I am. I am searching for the light in

738
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: the dark situation, and no matter how small or dim

739
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: that light is, I'm going to rest on that light.

740
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: That's what I was supposed to get out of this,

741
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: and that's what I move on with. And so it

742
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: keeps me from one area. I'm so positive. I don't

743
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: want to be anymore like that. You don't want to

744
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: be positive the outlook, and it hasn't served me. I

745
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: feel like if I approach a relationship not attached to

746
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: any outcome, I think I'd be better off. I'm so

747
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: it's bad for an anxious person. Listen, I would say,

748
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, I would say, make the audit and whatever

749
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: you feel like the adjustments need to be, you make

750
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: them and see how that works. But I think ultimately

751
00:51:55,400 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: your true self and being your true self, it's what's

752
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: going to pay off in the end. Now, somebody's going

753
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: to appreciate that a sweet, little freaking something, hey, listen,

754
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:14,160

1020
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: but I needed to do piece. That's what the security said.

1021
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:11,880

Speaker 1: the best. Really understand those names because it's so unexpected,

1025

1027
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 1: tell them what you did. Yeah, it was that's amazing.

1028
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:51,880

1029
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: want to create this delusion that I'm an amazing fighter.

1030
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't want people to come up to you just

1031
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: you just had a great moment and it should be celebrated.

1032
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:08,519

1033
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: to be fighting. People know you're gonna been gonna take

1034
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: this nickname the three piece. The three piece is security right.

1035
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:21,679
Speaker 1: Security is prevention right, And so when they hear three piece,

1036
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna know I am not a fighter. I am

1037
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: not a violent person in a relationship. This is not

1038
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: like I'm not going around punching mabu. This this was

1039
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 1: just disrespect. It was it was just it was like

1040
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 1: this it felt like a reality show, like it was

1041
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 1: unreal what he said to me. It was like, I'm

1042
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 1: so nice. Why are you being me? I like how

1043
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: you came to the decision though, Yeah, I'm going to

1044
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 1: fight him. Yeah, I was sure I should fight him.

1045
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: I was sure I should. You proceed to get to

1046
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 1: it is. That is admirable because disrespect has to be

1047
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 1: met with. You gonna learn to respect me. I always

1048
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 1: doesn't always, but some people need to know he did

1049
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:26,000
