65
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,600

78
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,919

82
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,800

83
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: I tried to do gospel rap, but I had that

84
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: stree edge because I grew up in church where he

85
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: told me one day when I was like fifteen years old,

86
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: he was like, I think you should sing because not

87
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with your rapping, but I think you

88
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: should sing because you'll last longer. He never lied. That's crazy, right,

89
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: So like literally twenty nine years later, yeah, that way.

90
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: I I stayed rapping, yeah, until until my tenth grade

91
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: in high school because I was I was battling everybody

92
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: and me too, and I was I was, I was.

93
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: I was a battle rapper. So and one in English class.

94
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: Our teacher in English class used to always let me

95
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: in this other kid battle for like a little credit, right,

96
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: and so I would I would kill him, right, I

97
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: would just go eddie. And one day he was like,

98
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: you know I can beat you. I was like, you

99
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: haven't beat me yet, he said, he said, because when

100
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: I'm rapping, I'm you know, I'm just I'm being lyrical,

101
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: like I'm you know what I'm saying. He's like, when

102
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: you're rapping, like you're actually battle rapping, like you're you're

00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I hear you, but let's get to it.

106
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: And so having a philosophy, yeah listen. And so we

107
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,040

108
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: did his rap, and he he rapped so good, but

109
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: he was actually rapping about me this time. And remember

110
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,560

122
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: B world for destroying this man's rap career so that

123
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: he didn't do that foolishness. Man, I was good. So

124
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: he saved the rhyme about you for last. You might

125
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: have said he had never he had never rapped about me.

126
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: It was all ways about how good he was and

127
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: metaphors and all that, you know what I'm saying. But

128
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, I'm going to more

129
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: to all the street in it I'm talking about it's

130
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: closed like I'm going. He's like, I've never rapped about you.

131
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: I was like, rap about me. So that's why I'm

132
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, but that's what getting to songwriting, which you

133
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: do very well. I think us being rappers, you know

134
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and being lyricists is why we were,

135
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: why we are able to put these songs together and

136
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: put these words together the way we do. Not only

137
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: did honestly growing up in the church help you, I

138
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: think it helped me. I don't play you play like

139
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: a hundred instruments. I can't play just like a little

140
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: bit of shower music on the drums and that's about it.

141
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: I can just shout music. That's it. That's it. And

142
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: I think it helped with like melody and stuff like

143
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, don't before you go there, Before you go there,

Speaker 1: I was like I went through the shade joined brand

155
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: new thing that I was like everybody used to be

156
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: a five per center. I used to hang with the

157
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: no young wisdom and then after that, honestly, John Picky

158
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: gave me the name little Mo because my last name

159
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: is loving, so he used to call me mony for

160
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: some of my reason. Yeah, and then he just stopped

161
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: on me. That just stuff. And my friend was just

162
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: like my fir Renee because I was. We used to

163
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: drive from Fayetteville to Charlotte every Wednesday for rehearsal three

164
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: hours there at three hours bait. So I would get

165
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: out of school, drive to Charlotte to rehearse. Then my

166
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: dad would bring me back on Friday so we could

167
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: go on touring the weekend, and then he would pick

168
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: me back up on Sunday. So it was just like

169
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: it did. Okay, when did you know when did somebody

170
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: tell you? When did the first church congregation say that

171
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: baby got it? Honestly, where I used to sing songs

172
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: in church, I was like four or five, and the

173
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: first song I lafed was I think it was about

174
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: a Clark sisters. What a difference it makes. So I

175
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: was too, I'm gonna be singing those grown songs. But

176
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: when I started saying with John, he was the one

177
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: that told me you got something because I started rabbits.

178
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: That was like in ninety one. Shoot, I was in

179
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: tiph grade, ninth tiph grade. That was the first time, Yeah,

180
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: you got something special. Yeah, So people always said that

181
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: I was, you know, gifted. I had a gift because

182
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: I was saying all the adult songs because he lives

183
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: all the grown songs as a child director. Yeah, because

184
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: it was like when you seven, when you five years old,

185
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: when I was in the world, I didn't have a

186
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: gut on my side. You five years old, talk about

187
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: when I was in the world, when you was outside

188
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: the junior choir, sc gave me your song like it's that.

189
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: But then when you get up to the young adult quire,

190
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: then you can start singing a difference it makes when

191
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: y'all walk the So this is like that. So what

192
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: happens in gospel is like a portion of the Bible

193
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: when Jesus goes from this from one age and he

194
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: comes back he was up the world. Yeah, I'm just

195
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: trying to listen. Honestly, that that age of thirteen that's

196
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: really pivotal, and a lot of people's like this. Honestly,

197
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: that's the age of honestly what they call it accountability,

198
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: but that's also the age that when you're trying to

199
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: find yourself. So that would be the age when I

200
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: was just like, Okay, this is what I wanted to do.

201
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: I always want to ramp. But I was just like

202
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: once my uncle told me at fifteen, sing you'll last longer.

203
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: At first, you know, I tried my son does it

204
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: to me? He's thirteen, and I'm like, yo, you should sing.

205
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: He was like, nobody wants to hear that anymore. So

206
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm just like, yes, they did. You really don't understand

207
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: that's what touches the heart. I'm not saying that rap doesn't,

208
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: but it's just something about a melody. It's just something

209
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: about tone. It's just something about that type of connection

210
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: that just hit different. So it's just like, yeah, something,

211
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: but now they don't really talk about love. They talk

212
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: about love, but it's in such a different way. So honestly,

213
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I've never wrote a hate song in my life.

214
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. No, none, toxic. I remade a toxic song,

215
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: remade Shirley Murdock husband, and that was like toxic. But

216
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: it was State Church that was the first. Yeah, everything

217
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: was exciting and I had things in my life. Yeah, okay,

218
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: So you want to rote with John Kid? How long?

219
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: How long were you out with father John? For like

220
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: two years? And then after that once I'm I started

221
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: out with low Kid? Was there? Was there? So I say?

222
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: And I was next to name? Okay, so it was

223
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: a musician. Cool played the drums, Eric Bryce Shu's play guitar,

224
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: and it was another John used to play the bass

225
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: like I was there. Yeah, right after I was there

226
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: for show Up. So I came there with show Up. Yes,

227
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: you used to be the kid waiting on y'all in

228
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: in d C. When he would do the V I P. Conventions,

229
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: I'd be the kid waiting and I don't play basketball

230
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: with him? Yes, a ya he used to be so lit.

231
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: The best part, and this is what I learned so

232
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: much from my uncle is just like now I understand

233
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: the for our gospel artist. Everybody on stage were just like,

234
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: the music is jammen. But when he would come out

235
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: and slide on stage and the keyboar will be ready,

236
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: the people would go because he was like he was like,

237
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: because he did the R and B, did a stinton,

238
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: cameo hello, right, yes, came right, so absolutely yeah. So

239
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: his approach to gospel music was totally was a completely

240
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: different pot it like it was like it was it

241
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: was something we had never seen before. The structure of it,

242
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: how solid it was like yo'all could do something like

243
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: this and everybody knew where to go. Or he'd make

244
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: a noise and everybody's yeah, it wasn't it was. We

245
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: was like, so we're watching the band on this side.

246
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: You had a band corner, when the band when where

247
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: the band set up. There were eighty musicians from that

248
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: single sitting on the side like this, and then you

249
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: got the congregation watching the whole thing. You got the

250
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: singers all through the day. But it was ill. The

251
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: music was the phrases, but put together music rehearsals. Yeah,

252
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: I did the V I was. I was part of

253
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: the v I p Chuire Wednesday rehearsals that I used

254
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: to go to. People like it was almost like a concert.

255
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: He would come and have like a little bit of

256
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: Bible study and literally from like six pm two two

257
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: in the morning now would have school the next day.

258
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: He would write songs right there. He was like, all right, y'all,

259
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: gotta learn this right now. I was I'm gonna give

260
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: it to you know what, saying, awesome, gonna get this

261
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: so on up. He would literally write song on the spot.

262
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: And that's I learned so much from him and he

263
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: because he played, he would like make you go to

264
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: and they would go. It was like how did they know?

265
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: But he had that. He was the first person I

266
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: saw sing and not miss and I didn't. I don't

267
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: know how we can talk about We don't talk about

268
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: that enough. We don't. We don't. That's a gift in

269
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: itself he did. Even if you're not obviously John p

270
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: Kids is amazing. But even if you're just a good

271
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: singer and you don't miss, that's that's still something very

272
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: special to prepare yourself to to honor your gift because

273
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: everybody don't honor their gift. We do a lot of

274
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: things that go against what you're supposed to be doing

275
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: to take I might have been on the other side

276
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: of you know, I might have been on the no.

277
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: But that's but that's something that that that should be

278
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: spotlight when someone doesn't miss those type of artist's every night. Yes,

279
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: you would never know if he was sick, if he

280
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: was tired, if he was like you would never know

281
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: because any time he hit that stage, he would give

282
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: it his all. And you know, like now they say, well,

283
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: what time I go on from nine to nine thirty,

284
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: he'll get up there, and especially especially when he does

285
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: what I used to love too, and I learned a

286
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: lot of that too, is like then I try to

287
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: think people come to his consoles just to see if

288
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: he was gonna get him money. He would literally from

289
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: his heart be like he would look at somebody like

290
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: come in for a second, because like, what's your rent? Sheila?

291
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: Uh we we recipes to her, Jeanette, you're renting what

292
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: he pay So when I when I when I may

293
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: pay for that. I got that from John pick Wow.

294
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: I took that from him. That's that's who I learned

295
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: how to tip from and that's how you forever we

296
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: used to go to eye and eat after the concerts. Yes,

297
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: I will watch him give hundreds of dollars too, And

298
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: I mean it would be a bunch of us. Think

299
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: if a thousand dollars didn't matter to whoever was waiting

300
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: on us? Are you giving him so much money? He

301
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: don't like this bad who just always take care of people,

302
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 1: to take care of you always? Always first person? Ever

303
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: seen that? So I learned that from him at the

304
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: concerts giving away money. I want to bless you. You

305
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: look like you need a blessing. How much is this?

00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: and the pencil and I said, what's her number? And

460
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: I had I remember having a phone like this, write

461
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: her number down. I called her right then and there,

462
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: and she must have been in probably a Lamborghinia song,

463
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: and she was like hold on, hold on. She had

464
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: a car phone. I was like, hey, what's up this

465
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: little moe. I try to sound like like like I

466
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: was talking, what is this a certain voice? It's like Yo,

467
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: what's up. I remember. I was like, yeah, what's up

468
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: this little moment Merlin Bob told me to call you.

469
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: She was like, hold on, hold on, hold on. Malik

470
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: turned down the music because that's when remember Malik that

471
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 1: used to dance with her by her So he was like,

472
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: she's like turning out the song perfect because it was

473
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: so so prathetic. But now I get it, Like that's

474
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: really how it feel like. It feel like a movie.

475
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: But it was just like she was like, Yo, your

476
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: voice is dope, Like, Yo, can you come to the

477

478
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: I'll be there. And I remember going to the city

479
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: and when I met her and we were the same height.

480
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: He's like, I didn't even have to talk talk and

481
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: then the rest was literally history. Like from there, I

482
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,479
Speaker 1: sang Whitney Houston saving All My Love for You, and

483
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: she she didn't tell me Whitney was coming to the

484
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: studio that day. What yeah, not that same day. It

485
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: was like months after. So I would reference Mry would

486
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: write this song. She was like, reference something, you know

487
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I would be I was like,

Speaker 1: do you want me to sing all over she was like,

489
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: do your thing, because that's gonna make you know people.

490
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: So I remember sitting in the studio and then all

491
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like Whitney Houston walks and I'm like Jesus,

492
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: like no, no, like this is not happening it. So

493
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: I just remember just like Whitney coming up to me

494
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: because the song she wrote, Yes m Mr. It was

495
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: called yes, and I referenced it. Whitney like hugged me.

496
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: It was just like, you know, ahmost like she was

497
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: so hyped up. Then she made me go in the

00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: world that had all the church girls want to sing

505
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: not knowing that there was really ain't for sables. But

506
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: it was like that's I meant with like everybody everybody?

507
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: Is that how you ended up getting your record deal?

508
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: Or so? Yeah, how long are you with Missy? I

509
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: was with like, literally, point, you're doing You're you're doing

510
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: working session work, session work, just so for the people

511
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: who don't know, this is the process for you. So

512
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: you go on to her first with Guru, do you

513
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: link up with Missy when Missy is an amazing producer,

514
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: songwriter outside of big an artist, but her vision so

515
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: with so with Missy, now you in a sense on staff, Yeah,

516
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: you're doing her demos for Yeah, but she sing too,

517
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: of course, like no, she sings to like but a

518
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: lot of people wanted to harmonies because she comes from

519
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: that Joe to see. So we were stacking now you

520
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: could do ye comes from the basement, So we were

521
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: sa we were stacking vocals. That's where we came from,

522
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: the stacking vocals days. So she taught me so much

523
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: because I didn't know studio work. I was. So that's

524
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: when I learned that, you know, outside singing live and

525
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: studio is totally different. I hate being the studio. I

526
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: feel closeterrophobic. I feel like my ideas don't come like

527
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: don't come to life. So I was glad that I

528
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 1: had her skeleton there and then I could take it

529
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: to next level because Hot Boys was just her and

530
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: then I sang with it. So now she let me

531
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: ring that church ad lives, which people you ain't gotta

532
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: do all that. Let me get busy where how long?

533
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: How long? Were like? Okay? So I had my deal,

534
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: I was signed to a lecture. But it was just

535
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: like I was working with Missy. I was just like,

536
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't need I want, Yeah, I don't even really

537
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: wanna did nothing. And all the songs that I was picking,

538
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: and you know, all the songs that they were picking,

539
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: that's what I did to that. I was working with

540
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: Montell Jordan and them, so they would pick a songs.

541
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think them like, these songs

542
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: are great, but I don't think it's gonna translate too.

543
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: I had tattoos, gold teeth at the time, braids, so

544
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: I looked like a rapper, but I sang like a

545
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: church girl, so you feel me. I was trying to

546
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: blend those both worlds. So just like Missy taught me,

547
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: just like, just don't settle for nothing. Be who you are.

548
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: And that's how I about the gate. She was like,

549
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: these niggas got money charge him. Yeah, so to get

550
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: me to show up to vocal radets. That's a word,

551
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: the charge him, charge him sore nigga mm hmm. And

552
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: so that like I learned the game earlier. It's totally

553
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: a blessing because I didn't have to go through with

554
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: a manager that so me and more like I'm cool

555
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: with everybody, but I always got to deal directly with

556
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: the source. And so really that taught me everything I know.

557
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: So first hit record, um, they was coming back to back.

558
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: It's not super Woman, oh by myself here, but like

559
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: I was doing like hot boars hoos, didn't put it

560
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: on me and then I cried, like but I recorded,

561
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: I cried before I didn't put it on me. Child.

562
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: It was like so much stuff is going back to

563
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: back to back, So those records would be four super Yes.

00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: to look up in the sky for a bird or

611
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: a plane. You're looking for a change, and I'm saving

612
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: your Head's got the s on my chest. Summer soup boom,

613
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: you ain't gotta look up in the sky for heard.

614
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: But it was like, remember that Beantie single beat Stopped,

615
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: Don't Chill? We used that for beat. Cox put keys

616
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: on it, so it was like it was too cocky,

617
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: So that was called super Wan. We thought it was

618
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem with Carol White Superwoman because then

619
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: the titles and then registering it. So I was like,

620
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: all I bet I was in l A. There was

621
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: remember when DreamWorks had the labels. There was an artist

622
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: named Canela Cox and I was boke o producing on

623
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: her songs and she was done. She had two hours

624
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: left on her session and I was like me and

625
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: my manager at the time, Loria, I was like, we

626
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: might as well used this time. Clue had left a

627
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: beat and he was like, if you get this song, Clue, yeah,

628
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: DJ Clue di super Woman part one. So there was

629
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: wasn't part too excuse me, there wasn't even no keys

630
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: on it. It was just so what I did was

631
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: I smoked me some weed and I never heard nobody body. Um.

632
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: I smoked some weet and I went in there and

633
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: I say Superwoman down because I was so used to

634
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: Missy teach me do your vocals different ways each chorus.

635
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: So when I found out we could fly vo because

636
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: I was like, fly because we don't have much time

637
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: left and we have to get it out of still

638
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: somebody's session. Yeah okay, So and I didn't want to

639
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: label to find out, so Traino was I think her biggs.

640
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: He was like, Yo, they got some money over here.

641
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: We used to give like them check Out checks d

642
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: and and Cherry Ross checks always hit different. Let me

643
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: tell you. Jason Joshua, the amazing mixed master guy, the

644
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: mix sologists, Yeah, was at one point and DreamWorks really

645
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: had to see song structure too. While he was, Yo,

646
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: what do you mean the hook? So you know what? Yeah,

647
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: how do you have this job? I think at that

648
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: time they PARBT was just hiring black people. So like,

649
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: well that listen, I believe that. I believe that people

650
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: putting people in position. Yeah I love you brother, absolutely. Okay,

651
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: So you so you still her session? You do Superwoman too?

652
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: So because this was the other thing that, like you

653
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: said that that first that first sound that kicks in,

654
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: they were multiple songs for you that in my mind,

655
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: I was like, they sounds like get old video games.

656
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: It sounds to me like if if a nigga said

657
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: this is how super Mario sounds, but then you would

658
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: come on seeing church. So just imagine, imagine there was

659
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: no keys, no strings, no baseline. It's just so I

660
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: literally no drums. It was just that was it. That

661
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: was it. So I sang it all the way down.

662
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: When it got to the bridge, I had to You

663
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: could probably hear it, like if you go back you

664
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: can hear. I had to do. I said, drop the

665
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: music out right here, and so I said every day

666
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: I love you in us fair show a chicken. So

667
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: I literally save off my snap and now I don't

668
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: know play when I second like that, and then added

669
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: the backgrounds. So when they finally got in with the

670
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: with the additional keys and program at people, they played

671
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: around it. So it's really he goes a little secret,

672
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: it's really not on. I always sing off time and

673
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: but be on time. You get it, so it's likely,

674
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: but it's always always. It's just so I was like

675
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: the person. I was just like, I know I sing

676
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: off b but it's like it's a bob. You told me,

677
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you. Gave me a copy one

678
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: day and I think I probably went back in the

679
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: big and cry because I was like, damn, Like when

680
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: you notice people that really sing and really do this.

681
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,479
Speaker 1: We was at d night show in Atlanta. You was like, Sis,

682
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: You've been one of the only people that can sing

683
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: with tempo and I was just like, I never thought

684
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: anybody noticed. He was like and stick like you feel

685
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: me sing though you was like sing with not like

686
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: dance around and you know what I'm saying and dumb

687
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: it down. You've actually been able to actually sing a

688
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: real vocal. That's a blessing. And so to hear someone

689
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: noticed that, be like, Yo, how do he know? Because

690
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: people don't be knowing because I wanted someone too so

691
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: bad but I couldn't. I couldn't figure out the science

692
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: on it. But you know crazy, It's like then I'll

693
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: listen to your song and I'm like, like, how do

694
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: you know? And I was like, God, I thank you

695
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: for the gifts you have given me without repentance, and

696
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: the talents that you have given me. But I wish

697
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: I could play because if I could play, I was like,

698
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: I killed all of these bitches that girl I know,

699
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: God say like crazy and before I arrest it. But

700
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: it was just like I used to always feel like

701
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: if I could play then then they will really be

702
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: able to get it. But then I realized my voice

703
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: is my instrument, and if they get it, they get it.

704
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: If they don't, they'll get it later. And now a

705
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: lot of people and you and you like you have

706
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: songs that I mean, you know this when they come

707
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: on this is yeah, they lose their mind, like the

708
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: we do R and B Club when we went headliner

709
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: and Mike Gardening them in in Miami. Your songs are

710
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: played there semi videos and I'd be like, yo, this

711
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: is like, how do they still? But then you know

712
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: what what my angels says, not what you say or

713
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: what you do, is how you make people feel. And

714
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: I always realized a lot of these people were in

715
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: elementary school and junior high running home to watch one

716
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: O six in part they remember that, and so now

717
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: that they're growing, were like, you all remember running home

718
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: and ask my moment, can I get them color hairs?

719
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: And they don't know what I used to have to

720
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: go through to be able to get the blue hair,

721
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: to be able to wear those colors. Yeah, we don't

722
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: want you to scare the consumer, because you know, it's

723
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: like another meeting remember the meetings, and he used to

724
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: to tell them like, y'all don't get it, and they

725
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: will be like, who then do you think he is?

726
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: Because you're Christmas brother? That wow? But okay, now we

727
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: see what they got now, the same tattoos all in

728
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: their mouth. I just have to hide my tattoos. I

729
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: just have to hide my tattoos. Still. I was just like, nah,

730
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: you know what you work for me when I saw you,

731
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: and what I still feel when I hear your music. Now,

732
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: there was a time in music when it was very shiny, right.

733
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: It was. It was the puff dad here. Everybody knew

734
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: about it. It was the shiny suits. And then d

735
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: m X came MHM and he made music very aggressive

736
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: and very soulful. People didn't people don't got rested soul.

737
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: People don't mention how soul for d m X is

738
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: music was. You felt it in yourself to this day

739
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: and to this day, they can play a hunted R

740
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: and B songs and then one of yours comes on

741
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: and it's dark and hell is hot. Niggas is getting

742
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: to it when a little mo record plays, Because you

743
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: bring a different type of grit and grind to R

744
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: and B music. That just didn't it didn't exist from

745
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: a female's perspective. It's so aggressive when it comes on.

746
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: It's like we went when we were just in Miami.

747
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: We were all in Miami together having a good time. Man,

748
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: I had so much fun. I is, y'all don't understand

749
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: how much fun I had so looking big. My sister

750
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: was like, bet you was. I said, I came from

751
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: a very dark place. So the pandemic was a blessing

752
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: for me, so to be able to get out and

753
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: to enjoy and to let my hand down so I

754
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: can sing on stage and will be when I get

755
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: to be like, say, because I've seen you on stage

756
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: and I'm like saying, but when I get to be

757
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: like I need to be a fan fan so family,

758
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: But I'm a question because you got a yeah, and

759
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: when and when that record dropped, when they dropped your

00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: record at the end, it's just like it was like yo, mom,

763
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: you loved I said, I did you had a ball?

764
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: You have the same question like nine times? Yeah, And

765
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: I still want to ask you that question today. She asked,

766
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: don't you gotta ask him, Yeah, I done with you,

767
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: but yes, you know, speaking of your music and your

768
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: past and the things that you had to go through

769
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: in this industry that looked at female R and B

770
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: in a certain light, it was very light seeing it's

771
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: very soft. It was you know what I mean, that's

772
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 1: just let's just be real. It was it wasn't those tattoos.

773
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: If you had tattoos, you was putting some clothes over

774
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: those tattoos. There were things that that in this business

775
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: from a female R and B perspective, just weren't accepted.

776
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: It was just like, that just doesn't work for the consumer,

777
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: when in reality, these motherfucker's didn't even really know the consumer.

778
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: They were so far removed from who outside was and is.

779
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: They were not outside. And you want to know what's

780
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 1: crazy is once I got outside and I learned from myself,

781
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: I found out I was just like, why am I

782
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: big in the bay earlier? Why are we talking about

783
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: come out with these girls? Was like, yo, one of

784
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: my big in the trenches is because I look like

785
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: they can look like me. Yeah, I'm from the band.

786
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: You want to know what crazy is? When I go

787
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: out there, the love I wouldn't already know because I

788
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: was like around when the East Coast and West Coast,

789
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: like I was around that time, So it was just

790
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: like if you came out here, do your work, get

791
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: your home, you fear me. So then you went out

792
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: different summer jams or something like it to this day.

793
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: To this day, I was out there a couple of

794
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago. They had um I forgot what they call it,

795
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: but it was Bobby D Presents, Me, Ashanti, Nellie Yang

796
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: Yang Twins, little john A, Marie. Everybody was there and

797
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: so I'm thinking, who show up to just think that

798
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: they were sold out? And I looked in the crowd

799
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: and what they told us was the consumer. The majority

800
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: of people didn't even look like me. It was all Latina's,

801
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,399
Speaker 1: It was all people, and they were by being yeah.

802
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: So because we did Oakland and on Aryan and I

803
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: was just like now, twenty years ago, they told me

804
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't connect with the consumer. You don't want to

805
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: scare them away. So what they further lets me know

806
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: is that they thought I wouldn't connect with the crossover.

807
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: The records crossed over. Then we broke records. Then we

808
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: broke so many records. Well put it on me that

809
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,959
Speaker 1: they had to retire, and they swore that they were paid,

810
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 1: and yo, it was a whole thing. I was like, wait,

811
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: who paying for to people called up there. I was like, yo,

812
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: I can't even. There was the time remember when you

813
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: can't even They said that they were paying people. Def

814
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: gotta be paying to have that play that. They was

815
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: like no. People was like no, I really called up

816
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: there and they had us come out there and retire

817
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: the record because there was like, there's no way y'all

818
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: can always be number one? For like I used always wondered,

819
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: I was like, well, what is so big about it?

820
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: Because to be honest, I went there in freestyund everything

821
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: and none of it rhymed. What was so big about it?

822
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: On me? Where would I be without you? Baby? So

823
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: if you need me, if you want me to put

824
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: it on you because I love you, don't you forget

825
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: it Whenever you need me. If you own me to

826
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: put it on you, come on? Where doing rot? That's

827
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: you know? So they'd be like, maybe like you only

828
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: can sing a minute of a song because people lose

829
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,479
Speaker 1: their interest. We can sing that whole song up until

830
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: the come on? Don't you know that? I love you,

831
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: I need you, I want you. I want you to

832
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: put it to the end to the song when you

833
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: hit the record go off, that's a blessing. None of

834
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: it would I be if it won't for your baby,

835
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:34,439
Speaker 1: because I'm so tired of me long. If it won't,

836
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: none of it rhymes. If it won't to you, that's

837
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: that church. And will won't he will? That was the

838
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: most incorrect English. Or maybe you know what it mean.

839
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: Won't he win? That mean didn't he? Did? He? Ever? Know? What?

840
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: Did he did? Did he not do it? We understood?

841
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: So that comes out before Superwoman. So does that speed

842
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: up the process at a lecture at the time to say, hey,

843
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: we're going with a little more right now, because we

844
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: all know how that ship goes to sign and it's like,

845
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and they're doing whatever they're doing, but we're

846
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 1: not really paying that much attention. It didn't speed up anything.

847
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 1: I had to send that record back to clue they

848
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: wind up literally rushed putting it together. Duro was his partner,

849
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: so the fact that he was an engineer mixing right

850
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: there in there clues to have a thing called Monday

851
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: Night Mixtape in New York and Hot ninety seven back

852
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: then he played it on his show. He made the

853
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: label catch up. He was like, he said, I promise

854
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 1: you so it's fab on there at the time. Yes,

855
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: because fab as a new artist. Yes, so while we're

856
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,280
Speaker 1: in the studio and once I send it a clue

857
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: because that beat was initially for m O P. Let's

858
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,439
Speaker 1: let's let's start there and would have been talking about

859
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: kidnappings all off Goldeth everywhere. But they was like, who

860
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: you wanna get on it? Because that would be dope

861
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: if you have a rapper. So by that time I

862
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: had already worked at everybody you want to get young,

863
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: get one getting him? You want on it? I was like, yo,

864
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: the boy, I'll be spelling his name or everything spins. Yeah,

865
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: he came. They look called Fabulous Sports, so he's look

866
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: on spis so he comes to the studio him. That's

867
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: when he was with Webb and Chail and I remember

868
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: like they came with yellow bandannas on and chicken boxes

869
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: and he had the next Heil pager like this. So

870
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I'm gonna let you do

871
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: your thing. Do you need anything? He was like no,

872
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm good. Just he said, well I add so I

873
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: leave out and I come back. I was like, you done?

874
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: Oh lord, I hope this thing sounds dope. Is the

875
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: Monday night mixtapes he'd be doing, yo, he was like,

876
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: So he said, just let me just let you know.

877
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: I did a little something on the intro just in

878
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: case you could keep whatever, and then I added something

879
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: on the end. So soon as he was like, I

880
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: guess I ain't got no reason to main go around

881
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: what he said. I found a superwoman that could leap

882
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: from the truck. I said, we out of here, and

883
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: I heard his yeah, we are at it by that time,

884
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: because you know music at this point, are you new?

885
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: You know hits? At this point you're around Missy, you

886
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: can I was like, that's it, that's it. So remember

887
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:28,720
Speaker 1: back then, if you put out a record, the label

888
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: can cease and desisted and stop it. But it was

889
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: getting so much Bird, I've been cease and desisted. I

890
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:37,040

00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: you know what what's crazy is is that everything that

00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: was the program director at High nineties seven and so

959
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,680

960
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: to feel it for Angie Martinez. I would feel it.

961
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: I feeled it one night for Funk Flex. Everybody used

962
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: to have had me feeling. I filled in one morning.

963
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: That's what started Buck while I was there. So she

964
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: was just like, hey, do you want come working radio?

965
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, I will, But the

966
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 1: labels like no, because that will be a conflict, yea

967
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: competition and conflict. And yeah, that's what I learned. They

968
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: used to tell you know that I can't tell you

969
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: know because they'd be like, dude, you that's discrimination. You're

970
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: telling me I can't work. You know what I'm saying?

971
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: How imposed to take care of my family? So I

972
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: did radio because of that. And then when I got

973
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: pregnant with my daughter Heaven, that's when I was just

974

977
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,440

978
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: switched from like talk radio or sports radio to hip

979
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: hop and R and B. So mind you ninety two

980
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: Q had been there for years, so we were a

981
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: new black station coming into a market that you're at

982
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: least expected to make it because Baltimore, you don't like you.

983
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: We were at least expected because you were at least

984
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: expected to make it. Especially it was almost like remember

985
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: when Power Want to Fire started? Oh how ninety seven

986
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: being here, you ain't gonna last. Ninety years later we lasted.

987
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: So it's just like I was just like, look, I'm pregnant,

988
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't feel like this is my first child, feel

989
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 1: like going on the road. And she was like okay,

990
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: and she said, if you listen to pay attention, you'll

991
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: have a number one show. I listened to. I paid

992
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: attention and I had a number one show against the

993
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: We beat the number one shows. That was in Maryland.

994
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: So after I had my daughter, I wanted to stay there,

995
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: but the label call was just like, yeah, let's talk.

996
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: You go back outside, y'all, And that's when I started. Um,

997
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: I did Meet the Girl next Door album, so I

998
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: did that whole album pregnant, So I was like, no

999
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: much pregnant recording a whole album remember Mike Michael was

1000
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: in the studio. I was like walking from the studio

1001
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: recorded and then just like the birth of my daughter,

1002
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: I was like back out on the road, like a

1003
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later, and I remember John Peki called

1004
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: me nice said, you're died from you together. Don't be

1005
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: got out of weeks after six weeks. And I was

1006
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: outside before that because I just I've never said, if

1007
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: you realize, I've never sat down a day in my

1008
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: life since I was fifteen, even before then, Like I

1009
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: was doing that. Really, come on, let's talk about that though,

1010
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: man ter, I gotta started, what are we doing? Think? Yeah?

1011
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: So it was like I was every time I have

1012
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: a kid, people like every time you put out an album,

1013
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: you have a baby. I'm like, damn it, I gotta

1014
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: stop this man. So it was like you know, once, yeah,

1015
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: once my daughter she was born, and she was like

1016
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: she's to this day, she's twenty years old. She's at fast.

1017
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: So I was like, I just felt I could take

1018
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: on the road. So she's been on tour and everything,

1019
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: and they let her get her shots early because you know,

1020
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: you posted to weight like eight weeks, but she had

1021
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: teeth at like two months. Right at that two month

1022
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: mark when they puposed to get this. So I was

1023
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: just like we all siwe We was in Jamaica and

1024
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:51,360

1026
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: people around my kids because of trauma that happened to

1027
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: me when I was a child. So I was just like, yeah,

1028
01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: so my mom and dad used to travel a road

1029
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: with me to the good stuff, and they were preachers,

1030
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: so there was circles and prayers formed around us preachers

01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: because he sleep one time and I was like, we

1034
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,680

Speaker 1: with the church, he was a good guy. I actually

1065
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: became a really good friend. Um. But yeah, yeah, remember

1066
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: the church. The church tis used to be lit. Everyone

1067
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: on the church, So you're doing radio. I didn't grow

1068
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: up the change, so um radio doing the radio. I've

1069
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: actually been on your radio show. So congrats to that,

1070
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: because radio is not easy. It's not because you think that, oh,

1071
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: because when you watch more, you think you just get

1072
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: to talk. But it was like, no, you have to

1073
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: do segments. You have to have fifteen seconds to like

1074
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: everything is just like, yeah, what's up? Names traffic up next? Okay,

1075
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: make sure you're leaning into this, and then we need

1076
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: to make sure you get to get the Walmart thing

1077
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: in and then get the all that. Then you have

1078
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: to make sure that people listening because they're going to

1079
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: tune out, but you got to make sure that you

1080
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: have to keep it. Like when I learned those metrics,

1081
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, what do that mean? And then

1082
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: it was just like, yeah, that's the people who turned

1083
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: but they always come back, So you have to wear radio.

1084
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: They don't see you, they just hear you. So you

1085
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: have to honestly go up to people that's least expected

1086
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: to turn into you. I became the one that they

1087
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: least expected to tune it. So I had an audience

1088
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: because mind you. We're going from talk radio, so that's

1089
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: mostly that's not black people. We don't want to listen

1090
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 1: to people talk. And I think it was like sports

1091
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: radio or whatever it was. So it was just like

1092
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: they're going from the good old boys and the people

1093
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,479
Speaker 1: that like, I don't know why to coming into loud

1094
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: mouth a little month. I kind it out next a

1095
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: bog me and your ruling them. You feard me. So

1096
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: it's going from regular to dag on their ratchet. But

1097
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: it worked. It works. So how do you go from

1098
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: how do you go from radio being successful at radio

1099
01:05:54,560 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: to television? Just like honestly paying at jim M. I

1100
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 1: always see. I don't even watch TV now, so I

1101
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: don't know. But I always just like, as long as

1102
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to do me, I'm like, that's what people like,

1103
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: let me be me, and that's what people like because

1104
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's real. When you try to make me

1105
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: something I'm not or saying something that I don't want

1106
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:18,959
Speaker 1: to say, like trust me and this have like trust

1107
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: me on this. I'm gonna give it my all, but

1108
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know that's not gonna work because

1109
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: I've come from greatness, so I've like I've been through

1110
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: the school of hard knocks. I learned. I learned basically

1111
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: the hard way. But and everybody thinks it was easy

1112
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: because it goes from John too Missy to Jay to

1113
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 1: go to all of that stuff. But it's like I

1114
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: was learning that whole time. So what I learned as

1115
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: a teenager brought me into my adult life. So when

1116
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: there was a lot of people, there was a lot

1117
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: of artists, why is you doing ready, and why did

1118
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: you do a TV? Your fans ain't gonna like you,

1119
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: dada da da, because that makes you look a certain way.

1120
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that ain't gonna like me. And

1121
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: if they don't, I don't care. They're still gonna look.

1122
01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: So whether you like me, love me, hate me, you're

1123
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: still gonna watch because it's gonna be real. And I

1124
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 1: realized over the years the reason why people have always

1125
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: gravitated to me to be like, yo, you keep that

1126
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: just so real, like what you like When I get drunk,

1127
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn this bit up. You are, ye, don't.

1128
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: It's interesting because it's a conversation that Tank and I

1129
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: have and we've had many times with his career. From

1130
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: me being on the business side of his career and

1131
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 1: me saying to him that when you have a gift,

1132
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: a real gift, you can't over saturate a real gift

1133
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: and there's no way to get away from that. Right,

1134
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: So someone telling you, oh, they ain't gonna like this,

1135
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: ain't gonna like that. No, you're just bringing more eyeballs

1136
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: to your gift and you're actually enhancing it because now

1137
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: you're giving your personality, which before social media was really

1138
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: tough for the wait for Cything Horner to call somebody

1139
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: knew you one way and you from from your videos

1140
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: and your your outcome or if you was looking like

1141
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,959
Speaker 1: I was on Jay Lenno before I even had songs

1142
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: that so Missy took me on it like and I

1143
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: was like, man, have conversations, right, because the gift for

1144
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 1: me was social media, you know what I'm saying and

1145
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:29,679
Speaker 1: actually going to meet people because people just assumed something

1146
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: about me because of the preacher's kid, and he shouldn't

1147
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: have done. Preachers preach mass me up a little bit.

1148
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: But a legend industry style, a legend for a lot

1149
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: of wrong things. But like let's talking about people. Aired.

1150
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: The media brought it back essential media. People got to

1151
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: see my personality, which is the one thing missing from

1152
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, all of my photos and and probably my music.

1153
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: It wasn't well rounded in terms of you know, who

1154
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: I really am. You know, all they saw was you

1155
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, That's all they saw. You said,

1156
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: you can't trust the nigga who bites his mouth to

1157
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 1: make it so look skinny to you. Watch the niggas

1158
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: who do that. I'm not saying that you were just doing.

1159
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 1: Those niggers that do this, they can't be trusted. I

1160
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: can't be trusted. Okay, just remember that I got sisters

1161
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: and I got a daughter, so I be looking at looking.

1162
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 1: If a nigga's doo lander's face can't trusted, you can't trusted.

1163
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: People would meet me and be like you are not

1164
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: what I expected. Because as soon as I walk in up,

1165
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: what's happened? What we're doing? Okay? We even sandwiches? Who

1166
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 1: needs a sandwich? I'm passing out the sandwiches at the luncheon?

1167
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: Who needs drinks? I got the ice team? You want

1168
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 1: sun that's got you like on that and then like

1169
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: you're great, Yeah I thought you were in that. That's

1170
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: what I mean. That crazy. So many times when I

1171
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: first started working with Tank. Really it was like, wow, dude,

1172
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: this dude like he mean and always got shirt off,

1173
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: like bro the nigga coolest hell. But nobody knew that

1174
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 1: because they only saw the album coverage, the videos and

1175
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 1: heard the song and they and they saw Preacher's Kid.

1176
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: Those are the things. Those are like you watch kid again,

1177
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: watch again. I get it. Yeah it was, but I

1178
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: mean god in that you feel like your television moment

1179
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: was an opportunity for people to actually see all of

1180
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: your personality and not just hear you. Yeah, they get

1181
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: to see actually like why it was so aggressive and

1182
01:10:53,200 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: then I realized, you know when yeah, that's what I

1183
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: heard was she did this. That's but that's the one

1184
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 1: that just makes it feel like that's ever had a

1185
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: bop off a little Kim. I need to have one

1186
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: of these because it was just like that Joe like

1187
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: even to this day was something I'm like, who, no

1188
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: other girls maybe total maybe total total, Yeah, but people

1189
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,600
Speaker 1: really just bop they would because I came from you

1190
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: know side, that's not I always hated that, so I

1191
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: always looked the one always. Actually I was allowed to

1192
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: do that with John Pie Kid Jump. Yeah, you could

1193
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: be like no, you could be you could be youthful,

1194
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 1: you could be a young person. They was jumping at

1195
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 1: your stage. I was like John concerts. Those concerts we

1196
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: would actually wear street clothes. Yeah, and that was like

1197
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: kind of frowned upon church, you know what I'm saying.

1198
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: But we got to dress how we wanted to dress

1199
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:04,560
Speaker 1: to come to a John p Key concert, and we

1200
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: got to turn up, turn up, and he would mix

1201
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 1: in you know a lot of the secular music with

1202
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 1: the band playing certain stuff, and we'd be like this

1203
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: the oh my god, this is crazy, and they would

1204
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 1: know me should go to the like, oh God, just

1205
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 1: imagined being in church, but not really in church, you

1206
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It was like they gave you

1207
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:42,600
Speaker 1: outside of love, that a lot of outside something. I

1208
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: just grew up in the wrong place, man, like he

1209
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: just if I would have grew up like in the

1210
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: South for the middle. But all of those churches didn't

1211
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: have all of us, all all of our probably our

1212
01:12:53,080 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: home churches basic they were basic. My church was traditional, basically, Yeah,

1213
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: my church. Some of the you know, some of the

1214
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 1: breaking of the traditions in my church. It was me

1215
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: and that was from me going to see John b

1216
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: KEI and hanging out with John Pike and listening to

1217
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: John like and listening to the commission like that was

1218
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: me trying to break those traditions and say, man, we kids, Man, yeah,

1219
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: why do we have to listen? Don't pay the risk.

1220
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: But we would do that in church. Absolutely, I'll be

1221
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 1: playing all sorts of stuff they're offering and maybe like

1222
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 1: but then they'll be like, oh, we know what that is,

1223
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,600
Speaker 1: but you supposed to be deep save spooky, how do

1224
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 1: you know what it is? So but what's crazy is

1225
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: is that I'm trying to think who broke it down? Man?

1226
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 1: I think it was Joe Wilson because I was like,

1227
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: he plays like he played. I told him one time.

1228
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 1: I was like, I said, don't take this the wrong way.

1229
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:06,919
Speaker 1: Your gift is Lucifer Eric. He's like, wait, Lucifer became Satan.

1230
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: He was the most beautiful. Yeah, he walked in music dripped.

1231
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: They said he walked in the set music drip. He

1232
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 1: walked and it was a sound. So you're Delucifer. I'm

1233
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: just like, nah, that was the most beautiful. But he

1234
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 1: got so caught up. That's why I's like with this industry,

1235
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: they come on this industry. You can come in if

1236
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 1: you come in. That's why I learned to have tough skin,

1237
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,720
Speaker 1: and I get it. I came in just like just

1238
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: wanted to work. Oh my god, I could say, and

1239
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: that's how you get taking advantage of So now I

1240
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: get it. If you come and smiling, the hippy and

1241
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: excite it, they're literally devout. I've seen people devour and

1242
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn SI And I always thought, oh my god,

1243
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 1: they're gonna pass me, because why am I still here?

1244
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: Because I survived, not only to turn up what was in,

1245
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: what was in parted and placed into me as a

1246
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: child and as a team. It carried over to to

1247
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:16,560
Speaker 1: this day. Now forget it. So it was, it was,

1248
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 1: it was. It was never your last. It was you were.

1249
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 1: You were given an extension on you because let me

1250
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: tell you something about you. We talked about me. Let

1251
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: me just tell you this, because you want to know

1252
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:31,720
Speaker 1: why I asked you a question so many times. I

1253
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: was just like, I don't think like people like us,

1254
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: We don't realize our gifts have not only changed lives,

1255
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: but it's changed the world. Your music has changed my

1256
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: life because nobody sings like that. You could do what

1257
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: they did. They can't do what you did. So I

1258
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:52,640
Speaker 1: listened to people, I'm like, yoah, that's all take and

1259
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: I'll tell you off the record. I was like, child,

1260
01:15:55,120 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: that's that's his whole sound. There's a sound. So when

1261
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: we hear you, we know it's you, even if it's

1262
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: somebody else. Tryes. Yeah, trust me. People to have awards

1263
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: that it will take up this whole run if it

1264
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: wasn't for taking this the note. Yeah, so I get it,

1265
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 1: and they'll never and if we was probably a different

1266
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 1: color that would give you all the praise. But that's

1267
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 1: a whole, another whole, another bag. But that's that's what

1268
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I've seen people I'm just like, wait, man

1269
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,640
Speaker 1: adds they're doing okay, they say that's church. This is

1270
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 1: I literally dumbed down my gift because I was like,

1271
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't sound like that, but y'all come on, now,

1272
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,560
Speaker 1: we wasn't when Johnny was passing that, Mike, that's the

1273
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: air I come from. When it was passing, that might

1274
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: let you come out with that damn giving it to

1275
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: you no more so what they considered now, oh my god,

1276
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: that's bullying, that's traumatizing. No, it wasn't it built character

1277
01:16:56,120 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: period period. We were tried by fire, fire fire as kids.

1278
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 1: I had to get that out. But that's not true.

1279
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 1: We were tried by fire. You're not you're not good

1280
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 1: enough to be up here. Have a seat. You're not leading,

01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 1: no solo, have a seat. Abundant came, you're ready, say

1282
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:33,560
Speaker 1: you off. You're really off, because you were because I was.

1283
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: You're flat. You're flat. Remember. Don't you get up there

1284
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: and they call you the sing a solo and be

01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: like I don't want to saying it's like you better

1286
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: sing or else. The Lord is gonna give your voice

1287
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: to someone else. God sence we got listen. I don't

1288
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: know what this. That's what they call it. Tell me

1289
01:17:56,320 --> 01:18:00,040
Speaker 1: and I don't want them to get They ensured like

01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: you got. You had to be you had to be tough.

1291
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 1: You had to be just born of something different to survive.

1292
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 1: We want people like remember they said Maddie Moore shoes

1293
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: at though tennis ball, that she is. We they don't know.

1294
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: You're like the lost member of the Clark sisters. I

1295
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 1: think I was. I think I was the cat. I

1296
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 1: was like like Derren Clark. I used to think, and

1297
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 1: that leads to a song that a lot of people

1298
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: don't know about. Listen. Listen, there's a song called Endowed

1299
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: Me with You, Faith Evans, Fantasia Coco who song It

1300
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 1: is okay like that a lot of people don't know,

1301
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 1: but it's like the Clark Sisters to me. When I

1302
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,719
Speaker 1: heard that record, I was like, Oh, this is okay.

1303
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: Whoever decided we're gonna call these It was a Cocoa

1304
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 1: that was like, these are the these are the voices

1305
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: that I'm calling. I know when I got to call

1306
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 1: Phil Thornton. He called me. He was like, hey, um,

1307
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 1: we're doing this record. So I know they had asked

1308
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:14,640
Speaker 1: other producers to do it, but I don't know if

1309
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: people saw the vision. So he was like, hey, can

1310
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 1: you flyt up? When was? It was a Tennessee web

1311
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 1: A sap Ward produced it. So I sang the whole

1312
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: record in his entirety, and then he bought Faith in

1313
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 1: and everybody did their separate parts. So the original reference

1314
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: was me, and I was just like because I always

1315
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: thought I was a clerk, So Coco wanted me on

1316
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: the record. I was just like, yo, I called Fantasia,

1317
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: you know you gotta get on this jump. So then

1318
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: it just became an effect. I know Phil was working

1319
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: with Faith at the time, so he called her and

1320
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 1: but I called fantag like, you need to get on this.

1321
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 1: Coco is my first placement, really, my first placement in

1322
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: the music business as a songwriter. A song called so

1323
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 1: Hard to Say Goodbye that I wrote for the Hot

1324
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:04,040
Speaker 1: Coco album. It's my first placement as a songwriter ever.

1325
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 1: What's crazy is Coco come from We all from church

1326
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 1: and she grew up in the Bronx. I've never met

1327
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 1: her though, really, which makes it even crazy. Never met

1328
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: to this day, I never met Cocoa. She's the coolest,

1329
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 1: Like you know what I am. I'll be in bad

1330
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: be onside, like, oh man, she's the coolest. She gonna

1332
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: that's crazy and yeah, and I got to shoot, that's

1334
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: that's why that's why I mentioned it. And for me

01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 1: it was it was like listening to the Clark sisters,

1365
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: I don't know what's crazy. After like three days he

1366
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: was like you was like, I was like, you can't hear.

1367
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: You're left here, Yeah, you can't hear? Said, nope, you

1368
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: can't hear. I think she said, who told you that?

1369
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: I said more, I can't, but who said it? I said,

1370
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 1: I can't hear? But when were you told this? I can't.

1371
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right, I don't believe you. Jesus ain't

1372
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: the way he's singing like that and he can't hear. No,

1373
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 1: let me tell you this. This is a real storm

1374
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: right here. You're ready go deep. I pay his attention. Okay,

1375
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: I watched you on stage. You're saying from monitors, people

1376
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: don't do that. They're putting them things in that and

1377
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 1: them things make me like them. I'm like, I can't

1378
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: do that you sing from monitors, So if you can't,

1379
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 1: that's unheard of. I just I just I made the adjustment.

1380
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 1: I trained myself to be able to process all of

1381
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: it in my one ear. So the problem with me

1382
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: and inn ears is that if there are no crowd mix,

1383
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:53,799
Speaker 1: I do disconnected. So yeah, if we have crowd mix,

1384
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 1: then I'm with it because I I kind of I

1385
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: thrive off of, you know, crowd in the action. If

1386
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 1: I hear something over here, I want to respond to it.

1387
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:03,640
Speaker 1: If I hear something over here or you know what

1388
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like I want to get into all of

1389
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 1: these don't want your singing. I just don't want to

1390
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 1: run through the motions of my show like I want

1391
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 1: to be. I want to be involved with the people,

1392
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 1: So I can't sartist over are just trying to get

1393

1395
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't I understand people go through things. But one

1396
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: thing I respect about you is that it was like

1397
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty degrees out there that day, and I

1451
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: I'm like, when you just imagine when you want to

1452
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 1: hunt it, child, I probably would have. I haven't been

1453
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 1: on a hunt in a long time, really, now, let

1454
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:48,599
Speaker 1: me tell you this. And I was wondering, like when

1455
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 1: I was seeing all the stuff on social media, was like,

1456
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: I like the way the strategically he probably recorded this

1457
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 1: week before, Like you was doing shows, you was in Baltimore,

1458
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 1: you was everywhere. Then I saw you singing Come with Jamie.

1459
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: Yeah that was a long time ago. Yeah, that was

1460
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: a long time ago. But the fact that I was

1461
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:11,840
Speaker 1: just like you were everywhere and listen some of it

1462
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: was us, you know, putting things together in pieces and assets,

1463
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 1: and some of it was just the universe like just

1464
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 1: like it's sprinkled. It's time to you know, put us

1465
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 1: drop some tank content. Drop the tank content. Um. And

1466
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:26,960
Speaker 1: so I'm just I'm just thankful to the universe and

1467
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 1: the people who just lended that to us. Um. So

1468
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 1: we were just on the show singing, you know, singing good.

1469
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Um, still having it very

1470
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:42,719
Speaker 1: tapped into our our youthful presence and our youthful gifts. Okay,

1471
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: we're still here. What is what is little more doing

1472
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:51,800
Speaker 1: now and moving forward? What is the plan? What is

1473
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: it called? Honestly, I'm back to the sacrificial lamb. I'm

1474
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:59,600
Speaker 1: extending my time. So my son is thirteen, that was

1475
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:02,560
Speaker 1: sing these niggas under a bus, but he wants to

1476
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:04,640
Speaker 1: be a rapper because he said nobody sings anymore and

1477
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 1: they keep on saying R and B is dead, but

1478
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:12,639
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not. I'm just like, no, you should

1479
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 1: sing your last longer. So he'd rather be I didn't

1480
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:20,680
Speaker 1: do that, and I was like, I told him that

1481
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't listen to me. So I told him to

1482
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 1: remake a specific song because I'm just like he came

1483
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 1: out the womb singing. One time he cried in church

1484
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 1: and Kimberrells there. She was like, whose baby is that?

1485
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: They cried on key? And I raised my head. She said,

1486
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 1: that would be your kid. You know what that means?

1487
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,360
Speaker 1: He cried a perfect pitch, so what the organ was played?

1488
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 1: He cried and I was just like, we used to

1489
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 1: call him fussy just because he used to cross so much.

1490
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,960
Speaker 1: But he whined and it gave like a yes, and

1491
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 1: I was like, how did they hear that? I was

1492
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: so embarrassed. I was like, why will you do this

1493
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,680
Speaker 1: when kim Morella's on stay? But I get it, and

1494
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:02,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, listen, son, under stand it's this generation z.

1495
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 1: They're different. They're different. But what I've learned then I

1496
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: can place in him and I can sacrifice myself a

1497
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:12,760
Speaker 1: little bit more like I'm gonna go out here and

1635
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:27,200

1636
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 1: like what she is. When they'd be like, that's my bitch,

Speaker 1: people are people you've been in the studio with songs with,

1748
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 1: Because I'd be like, even if it's even if it's

Speaker 1: the people that I've named is always the people that's

1758
01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:00,920

1762
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:21,800
Speaker 1: like that I would listen to before show. But yeah,

1763
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:26,880

Speaker 1: remember going to Bishop Yes, but I went to Johnny

1783
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:49,800

1888
01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:25,120
Speaker 1: if we could have another Rick James. That's why I'm like,

1889
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:29,200
Speaker 1: it's the only certain people, because you know what's happening

1890

Speaker 1: in that studio session. And yeah, okay, so yeah, let's

1892
01:57:40,040 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 1: let's start with the vocals piece it together. Who are

1893
01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:44,720

Speaker 1: RMB artist? Who's the vocal you're taking m there? Well

1895
01:57:53,560 --> 01:57:56,960

01:57:57,040 --> 01:57:59,680
Speaker 1: the without the order to live on the microt who

1897
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:05,160

Speaker 1: niggas is sick for putting auto tune on your mike,

1899
01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:10,840
Speaker 1: go ahead because saying the kid, and they don't push

1900
01:58:10,920 --> 01:58:14,120
Speaker 1: it because people don't understand auto tune was not created

1901
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:20,680
Speaker 1: equally jobbed to be singing with the auto tune my

1902
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:23,880
Speaker 1: messing like listen, I literally bought that mike for my

1903

01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:42,520
Speaker 1: hope t Paine still get I think, because that ship

1908
01:58:42,600 --> 01:58:45,520

1909
01:58:45,640 --> 01:58:51,720
Speaker 1: a grand stage. That should not be you because and

1910
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:54,880

02:00:19,160 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 1: early Mary J. Blige with all that feeling and all

1930
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:27,600
Speaker 1: that grit and all that over anything, with all the

1931
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:34,400

1933
02:00:39,400 --> 02:00:43,520
Speaker 1: She's God. When she passed, I want to pass it up, like, yeah,

1934
02:00:44,240 --> 02:00:46,240
Speaker 1: I'll take it. If you think I was yelling that

1935
02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:48,760

1941
02:01:04,120 --> 02:01:05,720
Speaker 1: not even go off on the tangent, but I think

1942
02:01:05,840 --> 02:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Mary J. Blige has the perfect song playlist of maybe

1943
02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:17,240
Speaker 1: any artists, so she part of in terms of music

1944
02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:25,000
Speaker 1: that that really resonates her, hire being like when Mary sings,

1945
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:29,000
Speaker 1: you know what I love too. It's because when a

1946
02:01:29,080 --> 02:01:30,560

Speaker 1: thugs are clothes and all the musicians, everybody, background singers.

1999
02:05:02,360 --> 02:05:04,640
Speaker 1: We would all go out and sit in the audience

2000
02:05:05,200 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 1: and watch Mary go to work every every night school

2001
02:05:10,960 --> 02:05:15,480

2116
02:12:38,840 --> 02:12:41,960
Speaker 1: like MO, Like they used to tell people, if you

2117
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:44,160
Speaker 1: do a lot of features, you'll get oversaturated. Then people

2118
02:12:44,240 --> 02:12:46,560
Speaker 1: get tired of it. They was like, no, MO, keep

2119
02:12:46,600 --> 02:12:50,640
Speaker 1: going because you have something that like a lot of

2120
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:53,880
Speaker 1: people don't have, Like there's there's faith as Murray is

2121
02:12:54,320 --> 02:12:56,600
Speaker 1: like this Kelly and they were singing roal hooks, but

2122
02:12:56,640 --> 02:13:00,760
Speaker 1: they were just like MO, like you have something. All

2123
02:13:00,840 --> 02:13:06,000
Speaker 1: I ax is that because like yeah, like because I

02:13:06,080 --> 02:13:09,080
Speaker 1: have been through that, I survived the turn up once

2125
02:13:09,120 --> 02:13:11,160
