Speaker 2: into this music, then.
Speaker 3: I love it too much to bullshit it.
Speaker 1: So let's go back to the beginn because we're we're
Speaker 1: touching on the beginning, like in terms of the nuances
Speaker 1: that that that kind of weaved in the fabric of
Speaker 1: who you are. Come on, when when do you start
Speaker 1: taking all of these stems and start putting it into
Speaker 1: this one machine or into this you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3: When does that begin? My brother in law recipe Bobby
Speaker 3: Billy Coverson Bungo Bill, took me to a recording studio
Speaker 3: when I was little and let me play around on
Speaker 3: a landrum and big speakers like this and a console.
Speaker 3: All you have to do is see it and you
Speaker 3: can be it if you if you can if you
Speaker 3: can perceive it, you can achieve it. Like I looked
Speaker 3: at it, it was like, this is what I want
Speaker 3: to do for the rest of my life. Turn these faders,
Speaker 3: make these speakers, motherfucker, turn up and watch these people
Speaker 3: over here do this. That's it. That's it. The music
Speaker 3: make people dance. So he helped me get a four track,
Speaker 3: a task Cam forty eight cassette, and I just started
Speaker 3: overdubbing and learned how to overdub, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I would hook two cassette decks up together and overdubb
Speaker 3: like play a whole program on the cassette and then
Speaker 3: put it in another cassette that can bring it back
Speaker 3: through the mixer, and then go play another program with
Speaker 3: the turntables with that cassette to another cassette. So I
Speaker 3: was learning how to like multi track at a young age,
Speaker 3: because you know, that's how I knew Marvin Gaye was
Speaker 3: doing that shit on the fucking I Want you singing them?
Speaker 3: How you seeing your backgrounds and your lead this nigga bad?
Speaker 3: Then I found out he had tracks, so I started
Speaker 3: using filling up them tracks with information. That was it.
Speaker 3: I was doing that before I got to a recording studio.
Speaker 3: That's why my album went so fast. It only took
Speaker 3: three months to record quick as the Name, and that
Speaker 3: shit went platinum when it came out. I was ready.
Speaker 3: I'm that guy, I'm the shit I wanted the best
Speaker 3: to ever do it. I agree, Prince loved me give
Speaker 3: a fuck. Mike loved me, Janet loves me. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Dre fuck with me. They know what
Speaker 3: it is. I'm that guy. I'm tired of motherfucker's calling
Speaker 3: me underrated. I'll fuck you up. You It's like this,

Speaker 3: be fucking with me early oh yeah yeah. And I'll
Speaker 3: drink to that and fuck you. I wish I had
Speaker 3: a drink. I could drink to that. Brother, quick as
Speaker 3: you can remember, is the first beat you made in
Speaker 3: the first song you wrote, what wasn't It was this
Speaker 3: R and B song called make Your Move And I
Speaker 3: played it for my boy player him at the time,
Speaker 3: because I was trying to get on with his rap group,
Speaker 3: the Pans Players Click, and I did the demo and
Speaker 3: I was singing, I was singing a falsetto. I was embarrassed.
Speaker 3: You know, you know you ain't sure, so you'd be
Speaker 3: embarrassed as fuck you, Like if somebody told you that
Speaker 3: shit was whack, you was just bust out crying. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, nigga just no faith, no confidence.
Speaker 3: So I played that ship for that nigga. I was
Speaker 3: shaking and ship, I'm like, man, you know, he's like player.
Speaker 3: It's not bad, you know, but you should you know,
Speaker 3: you should try rapping. You should try to rhyme it. Okay.
Speaker 3: So I tried to rhyme it and I did. I
Speaker 3: started rhyming shit. Uh passed me. They ball. It's one
Speaker 3: of my first rhymes. You know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 3: had these little mixtapes I used to make where I
Speaker 3: was rapping with the homeboys. Well I thought they was homeboys,
Speaker 3: but you know how that go. But it was all me.
Speaker 3: It was always by me. And uh, I let niggas
Speaker 3: come in every now and then and when it was over,
Speaker 3: they leave. I'm still working, I'm still finishing my you know,
Speaker 3: I'm still making my path, my path toward the future,
Speaker 3: toward success. Yeah, you know what I mean. And Uh,
Speaker 3: I figured it out. Stop singing the ship, just start
Speaker 3: rapping it. He was right. Play Hamm is right. So
Speaker 3: from the beginning you were, I wish I could. I
Speaker 3: should it everything. Yeah, who else is gonna do it?
Speaker 3: I learned how to do it at the young age.
Speaker 3: That's what I do. I engineered. I hooked up the
Speaker 3: wires to the instruments. I get this ship ready for
Speaker 3: the band to come in and get down. Do some
Speaker 3: get down. That's my whole gig. But you know, there
Speaker 3: are times when I just produced my whole album all
Speaker 3: by myself, like The Quickest the Names and Way Too
Speaker 3: Funky's I helped. I had one of my homeboys help
Speaker 3: with that, but like Safe and Sound couldn't tell me
Speaker 3: shit Rhythmalism, I did that all by myself in the house.
Speaker 3: We didn't even go to studios no more. It was
Speaker 3: too to pop in La was too dangerous, it was
Speaker 3: too lit. So the nigga start pulling shit in the
Speaker 3: house and just start getting down in the motherfucking house.
Speaker 2: What was the mindset behind Quick's Roof? Because it was
Speaker 2: for me. It was the first time I had ever
Speaker 2: heard a rap album with.
Speaker 3: It was because I didn't The beat was so dope
Speaker 3: to me that if I wanted somebody to rap on
Speaker 3: it and they wasn't there, I didn't want to waste
Speaker 3: it on me or anybody in my camp trying to
Speaker 3: rhyme on that beat. It was just perfect as it
Speaker 3: was so I called it quick scroove. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Some some beats is too dope to wrap on. That
Speaker 3: was one of them. Come on melody, It's like, what
Speaker 3: you're gonna do with this shit? This is it's finished.
Speaker 3: But because I had an s P twelve hundred on
Speaker 3: the drums, it didn't sound like smooth jazz. I don't
Speaker 3: play with that ship.
Speaker 1: Who because this is who told you you were ready?
Speaker 1: Because because there is a there is a moment where
Speaker 1: as you're as you're building you you feel everything. You know.

Speaker 1: this shit. I'm hot. And then somebody says, like, my
Speaker 1: guy told you to wrap But then somebody says, somebody

Speaker 1: of what the business requires, in terms of what the
Speaker 1: radio requires, in terms of what the streets require.

Speaker 2: rag easily rapping. That was like everybody knew. It was
Speaker 2: a known thing. And you know, we're from the Bay Area,
Speaker 2: so we're not in none of it. We're just seeing

Speaker 2: her friends. Everybody from Pomona, they from around that way.
Speaker 2: They all crips pretty much.
Speaker 3: His music was so impactful that they had to like it.
Speaker 3: They had lay just had to play it. Hey, and
Speaker 3: I had crip niggas back at me. Sit. That was
Speaker 3: the thing I wasn't. I wasn't just some separatistass nigga
Speaker 3: that was out just trying to bang out for myself.
Speaker 3: My thing was, I grew up in this neighborhood. My
Speaker 3: mother was born. My mother was born in Louisiana, moved
Speaker 3: to LA. I was born in Los Angeles and in
Speaker 3: fucking Lynnwood, right. My mother lived in Los Angeles at
Speaker 3: the time, like on the East Side, you know, eighty seventh,
Speaker 3: then Hooper in Central So that's where we was growing up.
Speaker 3: And it was all kitchens, so kitchen crips. So we
Speaker 3: end up moving to Compton because for a better life,
Speaker 3: and that shit was more ghetto and she was gang
Speaker 3: banged the fuck out. We're better off from fucking La.
Speaker 3: I can't really say that, but I'm gonna say the
Speaker 3: fucking what the fuck I want to say. It's just
Speaker 3: it was. She tried to move us to a better place, right,
Speaker 3: and it ended up being cool. It was cool, company
Speaker 3: was cool for a minute, and then it just turned
Speaker 3: into Bay Route like in eighty two with fucking Noriega
Speaker 3: and fucking you know, the Recognomis cocaine to the hood,
Speaker 3: fucked everything up, you know, turn people we love into zombies,
Speaker 3: had people doing weird shit. It's just strange. But I
Speaker 3: navigated that by staying in the fucking garage buying records
Speaker 3: are just disappearing into the music. I wanted to see
Speaker 3: the skeleton zombie apocalypse shit going on outside Paru. I
Speaker 3: hated that shit. Shit's up? So the music, is it? Safe?
Speaker 3: Music got me out of there. I stayed in the house.
Speaker 3: I DJ'ed a couple of parties, a couple of places
Speaker 3: to make some money, you know what I'm saying, get
Speaker 3: some clothes so I can look decent doing it. And
Speaker 3: I ended up making it happen. It was a means
Speaker 3: to an end. I got out that bitch. You know,
Speaker 3: the hood. The best thing you could do is get
Speaker 3: out of it, grow and then go back and help.
Speaker 3: You know, if you really love it. You got people
Speaker 3: there you love, you, go back and help them figure
Speaker 3: out the way if you can hand because some people
Speaker 3: don't really want to leave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're clear, you were clearly putting, putting up,
Speaker 2: putting your your people's on from the beginning.
Speaker 3: Like you said, your first deal, you did two more deals.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And I'm just able to make sure I'm
Speaker 1: articulating this right. You're you're a label owner, yeah, now
Speaker 1: you're a you're a partner. Yeah, these acts are these
Speaker 1: actually yours? Absolutely well?
Speaker 3: They were signed to the label, but I had to,
Speaker 3: you know, I had the production duties. So I was
Speaker 3: like the Quincy Jones are that ship at twenty one
Speaker 3: twenty two. But this is the thing, if we could
Speaker 3: go back to who told me that I was ready?
Speaker 3: Nobody told me because you know, just looking at it
Speaker 3: as in terms of being a man, you know, it's
Speaker 3: about how girls see you. When I was coming up,
Speaker 3: it was nerdy ship. You know, I was nerd whatever
Speaker 3: I was. You know, I was geek like like nerdy,
Speaker 3: like putting bikes together and putting hooking up, you know,
Speaker 3: fixing equipment and ship and playing music, playing records and
Speaker 3: you know, and just chilling and bitches didn't fuck with me.
Speaker 3: I was too square. My mixtaing came out, My mixtape
Speaker 3: came out, and bitches heard my voice. They gotta start
Speaker 3: getting pussy. That's what told me I was ready. Not
Speaker 3: no record company, not even Courtney. It was because I
Speaker 3: was fucking DJ, I fucking I was getting pussy, motherfucking right,
Speaker 3: but pussy valid, they're getting holds. I was knocking bitches down.
Speaker 3: You did, getting the holes, getting the whole movie. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: as soon as that shit happened in our era, as
Speaker 3: luck would have it. HIV became a thing, ship hit
Speaker 3: Playboy magazine. We all read Playboy magazine was scared. We
Speaker 3: didn't look at the naggad, but it was like, this
Speaker 3: is gonna. I'm non sexually active and this happens.
Speaker 1: I just got some pussy's over. It's so.
Speaker 3: But before that little eighty six to eighty nine motherfucker
Speaker 3: Jack told you that.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I was about to go there with it.
Speaker 1: Here's another question I want to ask you about that.
Speaker 1: I think is vital too to the production side and
Speaker 1: the producers out there when you start talking samples, because
Speaker 1: samples were managed one way when you first started and
Speaker 1: then graduated to a whole different space. I managed now,
Speaker 1: yeah right, yeah, yeah, so you were able to in
Speaker 1: your early days grab them samples before.
Speaker 3: Before they got the legislation right, and then all that
Speaker 3: ship exactly. Yeah, but yeah, it was up until that
Speaker 3: point there. It was a it was a it was
Speaker 3: a great area, but samples was the biggest move. So
Speaker 3: I had to sample. I was, you know, I was
Speaker 3: finding like rare blowfly and you know, I was one
Speaker 3: of the first people on Tonight's The Night God Rest
Speaker 3: is Sold. Johnny J. Would you know knocking the boots,
Speaker 3: but to put Betty right in your record like this was.
Speaker 3: You know, these records that we heard in the people
Speaker 3: dance to in our face. That's what we want to
Speaker 3: put on our records because I want people to dance.
Speaker 3: I want them to think about you know, the plight
Speaker 3: and you know how hard it is to get a
Speaker 3: job in Long Beach and competent no fuck that. Listen
Speaker 3: to these records. You feel me like this record made
Speaker 3: me feel good. I'm gonna put some shit on it,
Speaker 3: wrap about you niggas because we all in the same
Speaker 3: old fucking situation. I'm just gonna talk about what's going
Speaker 3: on in my neighborhood, niggas. I know who am putting
Speaker 3: it over beats that we all used to listen to,
Speaker 3: Like I got that from Mixed Master Spade wrapping over
Speaker 3: Genius A Love, You know what I mean? The Profile
Speaker 3: Records version of Genius A Love with Doctor Jerko mister
Speaker 3: Hodd who was Andre Herrel, who ended up being one
Speaker 3: of my label mates. I ended up signing the Profile
Speaker 3: Saw sixty grees separation. But fuck, it's money, we did that,
Speaker 3: So how did did it come back around? Though?
Speaker 2: As far as like where you had to redo the
Speaker 2: split on the older songs. Yeah, how did that go?
Speaker 3: The nigga? We was rich. Give them what they want,
Speaker 3: give them what the fuck they want. I'm going to
Speaker 3: go buy a Porsche, give them what they want. I'm
Speaker 3: going to go buy a fucking Porsche or accurate intersex.
Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck. I made it. I wasn't

Speaker 3: just make it really like comfortable. No words, no word.
Speaker 3: Nobody nobody said ship the kid is rare for him tonight,
Speaker 3: we're letting you get your ship. I'm just talking ship.
Speaker 3: It's like, but think about it. You you the negga.
Speaker 3: If Press used to kill me, like I look back
Speaker 3: at the Source magazine. I'm the first nigga in LA
Speaker 3: outside of n w A to go golden platinum, right,
Speaker 3: outside of CEMW and and King T Right, we're all
Speaker 3: factors at that point, Like you know, successful guys that

Speaker 3: They trying to lessen y'all sales on the next and
Speaker 3: what makes you think this record is good? Did you
Speaker 3: rush it?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: What the fuck are you talking about? If I got
Speaker 3: the Prince can put out five albums a year and
Speaker 3: they're all great. This record company was like, no, we
Speaker 3: can't market all of them, like slow down. Prince is like,
Speaker 3: if I slow down, I'll die. My vault is for
Speaker 3: what the fuck do you want from me? You know?
Speaker 3: They wanted him in that deal longer exactly, and ended
Speaker 3: up coming back to Warner Brothers too. It's another story.

Speaker 3: I was supposed to do. How long were how long
Speaker 3: were you a year? Plus?
Speaker 2: Ye?
Speaker 3: Something like that? How'd you like being inside the building?
Speaker 3: It was dope because I don't get to see that part,
Speaker 3: you know, That's why it was dope. I'm always on
Speaker 3: the outside. I'm always at the on the behind the
Speaker 3: stage with the artists and you know, going up and performing,
Speaker 3: be on the thing that was good, you know, next one,
Speaker 3: But just sit back and see how people, how people
Speaker 3: move outside of my circle of being an artist as
Speaker 3: an executive. It was like, I like that made me
Speaker 3: a little bit. It made me healthily lazy. H I
Speaker 3: used to be a workaholic, but you got too many
Speaker 3: fifty six year old guaranteed check care. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: It was cool.
Speaker 3: It wasn't a big ass. She wasn't bigger than being
Speaker 3: out on the road touring and making bees for niggas.
Speaker 3: But it was cool. So let's take let's get into
Speaker 3: the R and B. Yeah, let's get into this R
Speaker 3: and B man.
Speaker 2: You know Tony Tony, Tony Sure, truth hurts Janet Jackson
Speaker 2: like obviously.
Speaker 3: In Houston, co. Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Speaker 3: you know, talk about it as we should, you know,

Speaker 3: was in that? Uh? Joy Gilliam helped me on some records.
Speaker 3: Danny boy Off Rip Juel Ye sure the fuck did?
Speaker 3: I just did the things that motherfuckers wasn't doing or
Speaker 3: was just missing. My thing was, if I'm being paid
Speaker 3: to play a position on this I'm just gonna be
Speaker 3: a halfback until I got to be like a corner
Speaker 3: or you know, or I got to do a role
Speaker 3: out pass and become like a receiver, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. I just want to play this position. When
Speaker 3: I see there's a hole, I try to hit the hole.
Speaker 3: So when there were projects that was missing a certain
Speaker 3: particular record, I would just go try to produce that
Speaker 3: record that made this thing make sense. And that's why
Speaker 3: I was instrumental on a lot of soundtrack albums like
Speaker 3: Life and Who Wants to Be a Player, and you know,
Speaker 3: Minister Society and Above the Rim. I just gave them
Speaker 3: records that just made it make sense. Murder was the case.
Speaker 3: You know, who's your first R and B placement? Do
Speaker 3: you remember first R and B placement? I think it
Speaker 3: was it was Clasa just going in Closa, who used
Speaker 3: to be a background dance for mc hammer. Okay, whatever,
Speaker 3: but it was really Danny Boyd was like my first
Speaker 3: fun R and B thing. But the real ship was
Speaker 3: when I got with Clive. That's when I started getting
Speaker 3: with the doing all the real ship, you know, but
Speaker 3: also it was with No It was really with Tony,
Speaker 3: who's doing fucking house of music mixing like Holy Smokes
Speaker 3: and g Wiz and you know, I mean a couple
Speaker 3: of the records on there till last summer and wrote
Speaker 3: and produced you know, Let's get down. I was on
Speaker 3: my ship to this day.
Speaker 2: If you're going to have an R and B party,
Speaker 2: you're going to play Let's get down.
Speaker 3: That's the that's the most niggas ship I got. I
Speaker 3: never wanted to lose my nigga the world. It's that's
Speaker 3: because that's who I'm from. I mean, you know, if
Speaker 3: you ever if you've ever seen a wig bag with
Speaker 3: motherfucking powdered milk in it, you know you're a nigga.
Speaker 3: You ever see motherfucker you know what I'm talking about
Speaker 3: When the first fifteen has a distinct fucking meaning to you,
Speaker 3: you're a nigga. So I never wanted to lose pace
Speaker 3: with the niggas that made me who I am, who
Speaker 3: gave me my motherfucker put the battery in my back.
Speaker 1: You're I don't I don't think your intelligence is celebrated
Speaker 1: enough because everything that you're talking about, and the way
Speaker 1: that you went about doing.
Speaker 3: It sacrificing was genius. I'm left handed, so I just
Speaker 3: think I'm in my right mind. I think different than
Speaker 3: other motherfuckers.
Speaker 1: It's beyond that genius.
Speaker 3: I need to be a vincer. I developed interior dynamics,
Speaker 3: which was what it's called stems now, where you can
Speaker 3: take vocals and ship out and drums. I was doing
Speaker 3: that with doctor Dre in nineteen ninety nine and did
Speaker 3: it myself. Dre was blown away, was like god damn,
Speaker 3: was like you really did that. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: what's what else? Woman to give me some records. I
Speaker 3: take the vocals off where you He was like, I
Speaker 3: like Drees real, buff and ship. She was gone, Mark,

Speaker 3: He's damn pam bro this nigga like Obama. He's just
Speaker 3: one level. You don't seem mad, you don't seem happy,
Speaker 3: you like it. Sh It is dope, that's it. But
Speaker 3: I like people that he's that powerful. He can push
Speaker 3: a button and just turn all the attention onto it.
Speaker 3: Like that's power. You can do this and the lights
Speaker 3: just come on a whole different region of the world.
Speaker 3: It's gotta be fun to be able to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me about that relationship you and doctor Dre Dress.
Speaker 3: The ship always wanted to be him, like he was
Speaker 3: the reason that we ended up all getting deals because
Speaker 3: he showed us a different way to make our music,
Speaker 3: not buffoonery or not like you know, like you know,
Speaker 3: jazz and shucking job. It was like when he you know,
Speaker 3: cabbage Patch, he was doing these little twelve inches and
Speaker 3: ship uh, you know, fucking uh when he was with
Speaker 3: with Alonzo, when they was doing fucking world class record crew,
Speaker 3: it was on some ship like it was it was
Speaker 3: some undertones in them chips. Was that was gangster. They
Speaker 3: wouldn't like soft records, you know what I mean. They
Speaker 3: had a they had a girth, a bigness to him,
Speaker 3: And uh, that's what I wanted to do. I wanted
Speaker 3: to do that, and I wanted to produce a nigga
Speaker 3: like easy because and he just made it to where
Speaker 3: it was like a fucking bugle horn in the morning
Speaker 3: you hear cruising down the street and you know in
Speaker 3: the cars, just it just caught your attention, no matter
Speaker 3: what race you was everybody was looking like, so I
Speaker 3: just the way he did records, the way he even
Speaker 3: to go in the studio in the nineties and see
Speaker 3: him when he left, to go in the studio and
Speaker 3: see how he set up his shit, How this dude
Speaker 3: was cheating with a fucking midied out tr aight o
Speaker 3: a the MCTR eight O eight drum machine hooked up
Speaker 3: to a computer with MIDI. I'm like, oh, that's it,
Speaker 3: it's over. Nobody's doing that. He was. Him and Donovan
Speaker 3: Sound were doing something that nobody else ever did. So
Speaker 3: it behooves you to think that you could play something
Speaker 3: for him that he hasn't heard. That's the key to
Speaker 3: Doctor Dre. He's like Quincy Jones. You got to give
Speaker 3: them something they never heard, and they're like, they'll fuck
Speaker 3: with you. Don't go do the same shit. They heard
Speaker 3: every record. They know every note, they know every pocket,
Speaker 3: they know every paradidal, every rhythm, every read them, every microtone,
Speaker 3: they know all that shit. They know, you know, the
Speaker 3: fucking even the shit in between when you mix Selodi
Speaker 3: in the fucking rhythms what they call him polyrhythms. They
Speaker 3: know all that shit. Just give them something that's cool,
Speaker 3: that they haven't heard and they fuck with you me too,
Speaker 3: becoming like them an elite, And.
Speaker 1: That was gonna be my next question, but you killed
Speaker 1: because I was gonna say what technically did you extrapulate from?
Speaker 3: And you covered that. So I'm the guy, bro, I'm

Speaker 3: he put everybody back in. They we you know, pro
Speaker 3: tools was cool to Apollo came out and made pro
Speaker 3: Tools sound better, made it all sound analogue. So that's
Speaker 3: my shit. I'm into the technology of this shit. Like
Speaker 3: I like to see businesses boom. I like to see
Speaker 3: him going from you know who am to being the
Speaker 3: motherfucking sound don't sound like with the best motherfucking preamps

Speaker 3: living So I did all that ship Man. That ship
Speaker 3: was fun. But back then it meant something because l
Speaker 3: A was still uh La was still a factor that
Speaker 3: was finding itself after the fucking Recognomics bro, after the
Speaker 3: you know, after you know, the white the what you
Speaker 3: call it, the snowfall, after that and when everybody started,
Speaker 3: when it started coming back to normal, It's like l

Speaker 3: together again and do something big. Music. Music saved us all, basically,
Speaker 3: you know, and you were a huge part of that.
Speaker 3: I feel like I was. If you take me out
Speaker 3: of the equation, what the fuck you get, it's gonna
Speaker 3: be some ship. Avoid It's gonna be some ship. Even
Speaker 3: when I was quiet, I was doing ship. When I

Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck how rich they are or
Speaker 3: who they are. You can't give me the studio with

Speaker 3: nigga that. But that's he's the guy, bro, He's a
Speaker 3: sound guy. Them niggas had the best sound in twelve
Speaker 3: inches in the world. That's why I fuck with him,

Speaker 3: wants me to stop being around people. He's like, you're
Speaker 3: a fucking unicorn. These people shouldn't even be in your presence.

Speaker 3: Oh my god, I suck your gig, right, Yockhams bet
Speaker 3: she married.
Speaker 1: R and B.
Speaker 3: Rodney and Blake Radio is Rodney and Blake money, R
Speaker 3: and Big really laughing, Nigga, I'm crazy, You're great, I said.
Speaker 3: Crazy is a dismissive term. A lot of people just
Speaker 3: use it freely, like you crazy, But you can't dismiss me.
Speaker 3: Your mama crazy, your daddy crazy for leaving it in
Speaker 3: having your dumb ass. That's how I get that, motherfucker.
Speaker 3: I say, your mama niggas be shocked my mama. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Question bag on people, Now, that's my new ship. Bag on.
Speaker 3: Everybody give me a rarity.
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, in our business a one stop shop, right,
Speaker 1: but even with being a one stop shop, there's always
Speaker 1: something that's outsourced. And most of the time, the one
Speaker 1: thing that is outsourced for sure is the mix you
Speaker 1: did not outsource. You're mixed you.
Speaker 3: Folk with on mixes. Bro Yes, sir, I appreciate that. Tank.
Speaker 3: You know what that it's all about. It's all about
Speaker 3: being in the recording studio with the best mixed engineers
Speaker 3: in the game at that time, the most competent people,
Speaker 3: people that had references that they just mixed this record
Speaker 3: of that record, and then going to find the technology
Speaker 3: that they were going to use on the next record
Speaker 3: and finding it before them, to be ahead of the curve,
Speaker 3: because we all wanted to sound amazing on FM RADIOFM
Speaker 3: stereo or our aftermarket car stereo systems. And that's what
Speaker 3: I was doing. I was trying to compete with them.
Speaker 3: Like when I heard the Chronic album, I listened to
Speaker 3: it on cassette and I lost my mind. This was
Speaker 3: before it came out. I was like doctor Dason, me
Speaker 3: back to the drawing board. I had to get what
Speaker 3: he was doing. Then he was on I realized he
Speaker 3: was on SSLS and we were still on API and
Speaker 3: need boards. You know the old you know the video,
Speaker 3: the one Prince used at Oceanway. I got that one
Speaker 3: in Get Quick as the name. That's why that went
Speaker 3: platinum because that's the album. That's the console that nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety nine and Erotic City was recorded on. Yeah, yeah, yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: prince My, Prince Dre fell in love with Michael Jackson's
Speaker 3: later music and wanted to know what console those was
Speaker 3: because he had the API shit cracking with fucking Donovan.
Speaker 3: These niggas was in there on a trident a range
Speaker 3: making these big, loud records that just translated to the
Speaker 3: It went through the console to the tape, to the
Speaker 3: fucking albums to vinyl, the cassettes, to the radio to
Speaker 3: the streets, like it was just this sound. Like even now,
Speaker 3: when you listen to some of those records, they're brash,
Speaker 3: they're like rock and roll. I mean, they're actually clearer
Speaker 3: than some rock and roll records. But in most cases,
Speaker 3: it was the Trident vibe that Dre was getting away
Speaker 3: from and moving on to bigger and better things. You know,
Speaker 3: he needed more room. He was he was already in
Speaker 3: his theatrical phase where he was making film score music,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So it was just good
Speaker 3: to see him do that. And but he changed the game.
Speaker 3: So when I heard that record, I was like, we
Speaker 3: gotta go big too, So I switched over to SSL
Speaker 3: and I started mixing, so I basically still followed him,
Speaker 3: like there you can't. There's no meat without this nigga.
Speaker 3: So they getting around it. People keep putting us up
Speaker 3: against each other. I fuck with the nigga. I love you,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. If y'all want to make
Speaker 3: me fight him, I'll fight you because people are just stupid.
Speaker 3: But that's how it is. Competition. You know, we're the
Speaker 3: only niggas that pit our own against each other. Like
Speaker 3: there's no rock and roll versus only nigga versus Jordan.
Speaker 3: And this is my most controversial shit. I don't give
Speaker 3: a fuck who fuck with me when I leave here?
Speaker 3: When we have you ever seen a black cop shoot
Speaker 3: a white person? I'm tired of this shit. Look, niggas dumbfounded.
Speaker 3: The man is a black cop gonna shoot a white person?
Speaker 3: And we're like, oh man, you know you know you
Speaker 3: know he was he was. No, it don't happen. We
Speaker 3: live in America. Bro mm hm, fucked up. Bob Marley
Speaker 3: did all that freedom fighting as soon as you came
Speaker 3: to America. Yeah, a seizure called cancer and died. It's bullshit,
Speaker 3: cho It's conspiracy. H it's all in all plain sight.
Speaker 3: You hired a motherfucker. If you want to hide something
Speaker 3: from a nigga, put it in the plane side. I'm
Speaker 3: just tired of I'm tired of the Shenanigans. Unshananiganize me.
Speaker 3: It ain't gonna happen, not here, not in America, Not
Speaker 3: in America. Well, guess what I tell people all the time.
Speaker 3: Guess what, it ain't ours? It ain't ours. How is
Speaker 3: it not ours? We did all the work funk out
Speaker 3: of here. We was the we was the indentured service.
Speaker 1: We was the slave labor the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1: But we didn't know paperwork. Guess what.
Speaker 3: There's no more excuses. Motherfuckers is getting richest ship on
Speaker 3: the internet and doing other ship outside. We gotta fun,
Speaker 3: but we gotta fuck with each other. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 3: only problem. We gotta do all the car.
Speaker 1: But see here's that that part too, right. We can
Speaker 1: fuck with each other, right, and and that can get
Speaker 1: us up until a certain point. But when the things
Speaker 1: that actually run everything we're giving, we're giving out, Like
Speaker 1: when we start talking about you know, the Rockefellers and
Speaker 1: all of these things. When when it was time to
Speaker 1: divvy up the land.
Speaker 3: They got it all.
Speaker 1: The most important resource in America is the land.
Speaker 3: Say that Ascdonald's we can.
Speaker 1: We can grab as many pieces as we want. We're
Speaker 1: never gonna be able to make a stake.
Speaker 3: Man's talking that ship.
Speaker 1: So as long as they got in early. Now we
Speaker 1: want to go somewhere and grab up some land on
Speaker 1: one of these you know continents, and it ain't got nothing.
Speaker 1: Do some excavations and do some you know, and and
Speaker 1: and and throw in some some piping and some irrigation
Speaker 1: and all these things.
Speaker 3: And the mule. We never get it. Yeah, reparations never
Speaker 3: the native the Native Americans got theirs. The natives got theirs.
Speaker 3: But here's his his his, here's the thing. So I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be standing line a long ass time with great
Speaker 3: hair about give us free, give us free.
Speaker 1: But listen, let's let's let's let's say this though. Let's
Speaker 1: let's let's let's get this on the table. When you
Speaker 1: start talking about reparations, know how we got here. But
Speaker 1: it's great. And you say, when you say Indians got there,
Speaker 1: got got there just too age. I respect they should
Speaker 1: they act different, you know, we do.
Speaker 3: We get ours. We go by Lamborghinis. And Louis bags
Speaker 3: that we can't afford in August repold, and then we
Speaker 3: were more dead than if we were to just not
Speaker 3: put that money, put that money into some motherfucking conglomerate niggas,
Speaker 3: just build like a couple of apartment buildings. But we
Speaker 3: don't think like that. Sorry, and it's it's not really that.
Speaker 3: But when you've been subjectate and be it's held behind
Speaker 3: for so long, Like I say, broke, broke, being broke
Speaker 3: is temporary. Being poor is a condition. Mm hmmm, say
Speaker 3: one more time. Oh well please, if you want, please,
Speaker 3: Being broke is temporary, it's gonna happen. Being poor is
Speaker 3: a condition. You're absolutely right, Please say that. I'm absolutely right.
Speaker 3: Figure it out a long time ago. I'm glad I
Speaker 3: didn't get to eighty. Like I tell you, I know
Speaker 3: everything no right here, while I'm still willing and able
Speaker 3: to share and get some young person to the promised land,
Speaker 3: to be as free as I was, to be the
Speaker 3: free thinker, to make the most creative left side music
Speaker 3: off to the left and ball the fuck out to
Speaker 3: that shit. But be smart and put your money up
Speaker 3: so that you could buy land, because ain't nothing like
Speaker 3: getting up in the morning and going back in your
Speaker 3: backyard and you own it. It's nothing better than that,
Speaker 3: No bitches, No watch all the Mars PJ. Fuck all that.
Speaker 3: Buy a bunch of land, you know, and let you
Speaker 3: let your family come kick. Get the ones that don't
Speaker 3: tear up ship. But yeah, that's what it's about. It's
Speaker 3: about owning things. It's about owning you know. The American
Speaker 3: dream was just that, like work your ass off and
Speaker 3: then buy a piece of land and raise a family.
Speaker 3: You know what happened to the American dream?
Speaker 7: Bro?
Speaker 3: Are we still on that path? Do these kids know
Speaker 3: that they didn't talk the little black kids to hate us, like, man,
Speaker 3: we don't fuck with them old niggas. It's like we
Speaker 3: fuck with old niggas. I love Kurtis Bayfield. I never
Speaker 3: wanted nothing to happen to them. I fuck with George
Speaker 3: Clinton now that nigga needed a kidney. I'll be right there.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a setting it. We just sat in
Speaker 3: the dressing room and essence shout out your essence with
Speaker 3: Charlie Wilson and got real game from him before you
Speaker 3: hit that stage.
Speaker 2: Because like you said, we fuck with each We and
Speaker 2: that and that's the thing for us, Bro. And I
Speaker 2: was telling you this even before the cameras came on.
Speaker 2: The reason why we started this. We are really here
Speaker 2: to appreciate each other. Come on, man, and and to
Speaker 2: really and to really say, hey, man, what you've done
Speaker 2: has been great man, and what you're doing, it's great.
Speaker 2: This nigga's writing records hard. You can count on me shake, shake,
Speaker 2: shape your booty at the disco. And I was listening
Speaker 2: to the Gap Band when they had women with Gap
Speaker 2: Chief on their album covers.
Speaker 3: Bro, let's shout out to Uncle Charlie to serve and
Speaker 3: for for for snoop for dog. I'm gonna call him
Speaker 3: stupid word for dog to throw him a life vest
Speaker 3: when he did yeah, and help shave him, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. Yeah, And that's what that's best voice
Speaker 3: in the world. See the young boys see you can
Speaker 3: blow beautiful that the young boys see this and they
Speaker 3: start feeling the same way we felt about and feel.
Speaker 3: Stop saying your old homies, because when you get old,
Speaker 3: you're gonna need somebody to relate to. That's all you.
Speaker 3: That's smarter than you, that's wiser than you, that got
Speaker 3: more days on earth. Just start enjoying your older black people.
Speaker 3: Stop calling them weird, Stop making them feel uncomfortable because
Speaker 3: they're just laughing at you because they know you on
Speaker 3: your way to go around the corner that they said.
Speaker 3: Don't make that right. And then the ambulance is coming
Speaker 3: because you young people don't listen. Just listen to old niggas.
Speaker 3: They ain't all fools, like Richard Price said, because you
Speaker 3: don't get to be old being a fool. M m.
Speaker 3: That's it. And I'm drinking, and I think the add
Speaker 3: to that tripping them alright, Shit, I ain't gonna lie
Speaker 3: where I'm at. I just made that.
Speaker 1: The add to it is just the other the the
Speaker 1: other piece of the purpose is that people need to
Speaker 1: understand that this is who I need to call when
Speaker 1: I need to do X, Y and Z. This is
Speaker 1: who I need to reference when I'm trying to do X,
Speaker 1: Y and Z and.
Speaker 3: Hearing people try to make records like me, and it's
Speaker 3: cute because they don't understand game stag like I'm a
Speaker 3: master of gain stage, like I learned underneath Bernie Grumman, mastering.
Speaker 3: You know, I s've had a few albums mixed. Master
Speaker 3: Bernie Grumman is a beast. He's just a he knows
Speaker 3: he knows time, time offset, he knows amplitude, he knows clocks,
Speaker 3: he knows you know, compression, you know A to D
Speaker 3: D A. C's eighties. You know, I'm say eighties. He's
Speaker 3: just he's the greatest guy, and he has some really
Speaker 3: great people up underneath him. But those records like Steely
Speaker 3: Dan Asia, when you hear these records, it's like they
Speaker 3: just changed your life, you know. And of course thriller,
Speaker 3: Thriller is what made me a DJ. But I scratched
Speaker 3: the fuck out of Billy Jean. I ruined the record
Speaker 3: to buy another one, But I learned. But it's something
Speaker 3: about Big Base Brian Gardner Bro who made all these
Speaker 3: records that were taught. They were like all the to
Speaker 3: the East coast, like what Public Enemy was for them.
Speaker 3: Everything that Big Base Brian did and hip hop was
Speaker 3: for us. All that in wation, that ship was it
Speaker 3: was right, you know what I mean, bad boy, bad motherfuckers.
Speaker 3: So I mastered like that now because you know, after
Speaker 3: a while, you know, the fruit don't fall far from
Speaker 3: the tree. And if you you got a sense, ay,
Speaker 3: you know, even if Bruce Lee didn't teach me how
Speaker 3: to kick. I ain't gonna kick it. I ain't gonna
Speaker 3: kick as hard as that nigga, but I will still
Speaker 3: still kick a nigga through the glass play glass window.
Speaker 3: If I've been practicing with Bruce Lee all day, you
Speaker 3: under say what I'm saying, analogy. Is there anything in
Speaker 3: this business that you haven't done? Uh? Sucker dick, well,
Speaker 3: that ain't that ain't ship. Fuck these niggas. That's the
Speaker 3: alcoholic the music ship like these you know. I just
Speaker 3: want to make y'all laugh. Y'all can edit this ship
Speaker 3: and all that ship. I ain't never did know, I
Speaker 3: ain't never I ain't never wore a skirt and lifted
Speaker 3: it up. I ain't never did nothing weird. The one
Speaker 3: thing that I wish I probably would have did more
Speaker 3: of was sit there and watch people cut records like
Speaker 3: work on a lathe. You know, to lay this, well,
Speaker 3: you'd have to be a lapidary to know. Like niggas
Speaker 3: that cut diamonds like lathing. A lathe is what cuts
Speaker 3: final records. Yeah, cuts lackers. So you can get a
Speaker 3: test pressing to be your record, because it's just something
Speaker 3: about recording. I only care about recordings. I don't care
Speaker 3: about these dumb ass politics. I don't care about nothing else.
Speaker 3: I care about the best sounded records in the world
Speaker 3: because music will stop a fight immediately, immediately. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: to stop the riot. That's the most powerful instrument, that's
Speaker 3: the most powerful weapon in the world is music. And
Speaker 3: on that note, you.
Speaker 1: I was awaiting. We're gonna get to the party. We
Speaker 1: got to get to the party. I got to ask
Speaker 1: one more question, sir, if you don't if you don't mind,
Speaker 1: I don't, at what point, and maybe you already have,
Speaker 1: at what point does quick begin the educational process.
Speaker 3: The mis education and the DJ quick my nigga, I've
Speaker 3: been doing it, so, Lauren Hill dropped there. I've been
Speaker 3: on that ship, bro was. I was quietly working with
Speaker 3: the best man. I probably sold more than one hundred
Speaker 3: million records, like just being me fucking with Clive and
Speaker 3: some of his writers and Charlotte the Big John publisher
Speaker 3: at Sony like you know what I mean these I
Speaker 3: was just back there quietly. I put baby Warren on
Speaker 3: Warren Campbell.

Speaker 3: build a school to where people learn signal flow my way.
Speaker 3: There's there's a whole lot of paths to success. Mine
Speaker 3: is one of them, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 3: just got a unique path to success, and it's very
Speaker 3: it's it's very proprietary to me, but it could be
Speaker 3: learned by anybody that wants to. Like I've been in
Speaker 3: studios with my guy, Aaron Dahl, young engineer. He's with
Speaker 3: like if I if I don't have the energy to
Speaker 3: mix and master a whis Khalifa song, He'll just use

Speaker 3: favorite Prince records of all one that break it down.
Speaker 3: The fact that he gave it to Tevin first and
Speaker 3: then it came back and and his version was did
Speaker 3: you hear him see the jungle love? I'm sure he did.
Speaker 3: He wrote jungle love, but to hear him do his
Speaker 3: version of it all I listened to right now, bro

Speaker 3: got his own version. He sings it. It was a demo.
Speaker 3: This nigga, people come get this here, get this nigga,

Speaker 3: motherfucking hold on, hold on. There's some other shitt he wrote,
Speaker 3: I feel for you for uh. We know some of
Speaker 3: these are common, but there's this rabbit hole that Prince
Speaker 3: got that where you just had to I was thinking
Speaker 3: Tony Tony, Tony was writing some of them songs, but
Speaker 3: they wasn't. But then to them used to be on
Speaker 3: tour with Prince. So they used to see Prince like
Speaker 3: sliding off the stage the night when he go too far.
