00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: Yes.

262
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: So you're getting all your questions off right now, you're

263
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: getting you getting it off. What you want to ask him?

264
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 5: How do you handle how do you and Zena handle

265
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 5: you being such an attractive performer because you can't perform,

266
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 5: you can sing, you can act. We've seen all of

267
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 5: those things. So how does she work through that? How

268
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 5: does she manage?

269
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: Like?

270
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 5: My man is handsome, he's attractive, he's fine, and not

271
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 5: that you're using your body as a tool. It is Okay,

272
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 5: that's up to you and how you tell the truth.

273
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 5: But how do how does she manage that having an

274
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: attraction husband?

275
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: Well, and I'll just answer the question. I mean, it's

276
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 4: there's so many layers to that, but I think it's

277
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 4: up to me again to make her feel safe there

278
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 4: you go. It's up to me to make sure that

279
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 4: she knows she has the number one position, because we

280
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: gotta know, like in this social media era, something can

281
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 4: look like anything, right, and so you don't. You don't

282
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 4: want your good to be even spoken of, and so

283
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 4: you have to you have to be smart about.

284
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: Where you go, what you're doing.

285
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 4: Who you're seeing with, correct, what you're saying, correct all

286
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: of those things. Because that's why I don't go nowhere

287
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 4: because it gets back really fast. And in a world

288
00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: where misery loves company, right, they would to be able

289
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: to send my wife, well, he can't be too much

290
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: of your husband because he was.

291
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: Just blah blah blah, and.

292
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 4: Here's a picture of it, or here's a DM of it,

293
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 4: or here's a text of it.

294
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: So a lot of it starts with me.

295
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: I mean, of course, ultimately, she as a woman, as

296
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: she walked into this, I was this before we got married, correct,

297
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: So there has to be a certain level of acceptance

298
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 4: of what I am before she even decides to partake,

299
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 4: because it is a lot. But then once we're in

300
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 4: there again, it's my job to make sure she feels safe.

301
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 5: So the proper word is discernment. You're using discernment to

302
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 5: make sure that she's safe. Yes, because we live in

303
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 5: this world where people can change things around words, and

304
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 5: a mere picture can be turned into I was with

305
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 5: your man when it's really mirror a picture.

306
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: Here's a question for you, Yes, sir, same question.

307
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 4: What do you think the biggest difference for you between well,

308
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 4: what's your favorite era of music?

309
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 3: Let's start there in nineties, early two thousands.

310
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: Argon further back.

311
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like the seventies and the eighties and the nineties.

312
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 5: The reason for the seventies is because when you go

313
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 5: back to a man leading and making a woman feel

314
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 5: safe and provided for. I saw that with my father,

315
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 5: and so no family is perfect, but in that home

316
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 5: it was music playing. There was togetherness. We weren't hungry.

317
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 5: We played together, he said, and watched us play together.

318
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 5: We didn't know if there were hard times, but I

319
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,840

Speaker 4: They knew about that R and B. We want to

473
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,640

00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 4: of what we do. We try to get legendary, uh

475

Speaker 4: his song for you at a wedding.

499
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: It got to the.

500
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: Point to where I just stopped singing the words and

501
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 4: I just started a libbing.

502
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: It's a lot of words though, stuff that was not

503
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: in the.

504
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 4: Music for you. It's some Wendy's and some Poppa doos

505
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: anywhere you want to go.

506
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: It's a lot of words in there. It's a lot

507
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: of words. It's a lot of notes you have to control.

508
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: You have to be vocally conditioned for the marathon to

509
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 4: sing that song top two bottom, I've never done it.

510
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: How do you do it?

511
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: Oh?

512
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 3: Man?

513
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: I guess it's the practice. Like the more you do something,

514
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: you get better at it. Because I have to admit,

515
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: when I start singing songs, especially if they're new, I

516
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: go through exactly the same thing. I have to figure

517
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: out where the placement is in my entire body so

518
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: that I can keep producing the sound. So I mess

519
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: it up and keep going and going and going until

520
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: I find that place. Once I find that place, sometimes

521
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: the live performance becomes something different. It becomes something that's

522
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: original and its own thing. So is it not alone?

523
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 4: Is it a thing that it took you a minute

524
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 4: to process once you started singing it live on stage?

525
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, And then once you sing it over and

526
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: over and over again as an artist, sometimes you don't

527
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: want to do it the same way. You ever go

528
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: to a concert and somebody is singing the song totally

529
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: different than the way yes, or is it a different

530
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: key or whatever. But then I learned that you guys

531
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: want to hear it the way you know it.

532
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

533
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I had to go back and revisit it

534
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: and say, Kenny, you need to find that placement again

535
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 2: and find out how to breathe and how to get

536
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: all those words out or where to take your breaks

537
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: so that you can produce that.

538
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: Sound Kenny, for the people here, where are you from

539
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: and where were you groomed as the singer, songwriter, producer

540
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 4: talent that.

541
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 2: You are from Washington, DC DMV, I might have to

542
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: find somebody from the Bay Area to come up here.

543
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: And I'm the Bay by myself. The Bay Area is

544
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: like the West Coast version of Deep Sea. To me,

545
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: it really is culturally the diversity. Everything the music we

546
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: listened to was exactly the same. But I'm also HU

547
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: Howard University, so I studied from twelve years old. My

548
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: mother discovered I could sing, and I was singing jazz

549
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: stuff like I left my hat in the San Francisco

550
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 2: at twelve on at twelve because that was the way

551
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: that you learned how to enunciate. So if you ever wondered, wow,

552
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: Kenny talks real proper and he's in. I learned how

553
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: to enunciate and how to breathe and how to properly

554
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: sing because I was a trained singer. Yeah, and I

555
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 2: sang classical music and I would go out and I

556
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: would do competitions and scholarship board stuff and just you know,

557
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: things that were outside of the box.

558
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: Of R and B.

559
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 4: Give me a classical complimentative, what is a classical moment?

560
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: Classical? Like this is Italian? Uh almost bell ben I

561
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: started saying the MODI splend the soriso, this stella New

562
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: York toy blue, which is Italian. But come on, yeah, yeah,

563
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: come on, but it's I would do stuff like that,

564
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 2: and it made me, as a kid, feel like, oh man,

565
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: this is he didn't like it was really easy. Does

566
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: anybody know what he was saying? I'm clearly lost.

567
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: Wow.

568
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 2: But it helped me to just gain my music saved

569
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: my life because I was definthly shy. I was definitely

570
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: shy growing up and singing classical singing, jazzy, all of

571
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: this stuff made me feel like I had something to

572
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: give and I had a voice. Yeah, so yeah, it

573
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: gave me a place where I felt like my confidence

574
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: was built to give musically. You've been giving us music

575
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: Man for a long time, and we appreciate you for that.

576
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Sure man, thank you for the

577
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: podcast absolutely because it has given us an amazing platform

578
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: to tell our stories where we didn't know, we didn't

579
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: have it and people didn't want to what's the story

580
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: behind the music? You know? And for for emerging black artists,

581
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: for established black artists, because I know it started with

582
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: probably more emerging artists, but now you've probably had everybody

583
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: on on the on the podcast. Not yet, not yet.

584
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 2: We we we getting there, get getting there. We're getting there.

585
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: You will.

586
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 2: But that's the thing that we are very adamant about

587
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: is that we want to bring everyone on. We want everyone,

588
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: you know, to have their opportunity to come and tell

589
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: their story the way they want to tell their story

590
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 2: without all the extra clickbait stuff and all that. We

591
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 2: don't we don't want. That's not what we're about. We're

592
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 2: about showing love. Were about showing love to the journey,

593
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: and we're about being informative so people can understand how

594
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: they can sing a song like yours without messing up.

595
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 2: What does it take you know what I mean, what

596
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 2: does it take us, you know, for for the longest

597
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 2: I mean obviously we all grew up before Google, Yes.

598
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 3: So.

599
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 2: We couldn't find that information the way that people can

600
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: now just click click, you can click and find something.

601
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: But what we found when we thought of doing the

602
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: podcast was that, well, there's not enough information about what

603
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: we do, what we really do, you know what I mean,

604
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 2: what really goes into it? And we want to and

605
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: we are hopefully putting a spotlight on those things. Yeah, yeah,

606
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 2: and our job is to make it look easy. We

607
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 2: were talking earlier about how to put something great together

608
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 2: for you that the thought and the processing of putting

609
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: something that you're going to remember together, it takes a

610
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: lot more effort. Now, I was up there listening and

611
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: you were saying how long did it take to make

612
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: an album and things like that, and you were saying

613
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: a year or so sometimes to do something great. Michael Jackson,

614
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 2: It used to take two years or more to do Thriller.

615
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 2: To have all of those great songs where you start

616
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 2: to play the album and every single song is a single.

617
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 2: It takes a lot of time to record those songs,

618
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: See if they translate, see how they compete with the

619
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: other songs. So all of that progression takes time, and

620
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: a lot of that is not happening. So hearing those

621
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 2: kind of stories, I think helps the next generation as

622
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 2: they're creating, to know that it's okay. It's okay for

623
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: it not to be perfect the first time, and it's

624
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: okay that we're all like a process, a work in

625
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 2: progress and process because I'm not the same person I

626
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: wasn't ninety six, whenfore you came out?

627
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 3: Or weekend in two.

628
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: Thousand, that was in ninety six, wo or take a

629
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: dose which was in you know, two thousand and twenty one,

630
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,560

Speaker 2: take the time to make it right so that everything

633
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: that you get is worthy of your dollar, of your time,

Speaker 2: and it's relevant for you. So we appreciate you being

635
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: here all y'all that rocked with me specifically since the nineties.

636
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate you so much. Are you performing this weekend?

637
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: Are you performing? I performed last night night? Yes, say

638
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you so much. I performed as a

639
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 2: part of a radio broadcast. It's going to be broadcasting

640
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: from Essence all this weekend on iHeartRadio. We performed yesterday.

641
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 4: I want to highlight the fact that the gold for

642
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 4: me and all of this conversation is that even before

643
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 4: you became the Kenny Lattimore that we know on the

644
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 4: radio and with the record deals and all of these things,

645
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 4: you were ready.

646
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 3: You were beyond ready.

647
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 4: You had put in, as we call it, those ten

648
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 4: twenty thousand hours oh man, yeah, perfecting your gifts.

649
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so that by.

650
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 4: The time it was time to be ready, you were

651
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 4: already ready. If you can just speak to that, just

652
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 4: give us a little bit on how it felt, because

653
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 4: a lot of artists come into this, especially nowadays. Yeah,

654
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 4: they'll get some traction on ig or get some traction

655
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 4: on TikTok, and then they're thrown into this thing that

656
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 4: we call the music business and trying to perform and

657
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 4: they're not ready.

658
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they suffer because of that.

659
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, very true. So how about this whole

660
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 2: concept dreaming black, right? Yeah, dreaming in black to me

661
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: is believing something before you see it, see it before

662
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: you see it. We are people of faith generally in

663
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: our culture and being ready for those moments is about

664
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: dreaming and Black. It's about dreaming and seeing that I

665
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: think I'm going to be on this other side. So

666
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 2: there's some things that I did as a kid, and

667
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 2: I wasn't smart enough to know it was something spiritual. Again,

668
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: I wasn't smart enough to know that this is what

669
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 2: I was doing. But I remember taking speech class at

670
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: Howard because I like, I'm gonna be famous one day.

671
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 2: I want to be able to stand up here and

672
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 2: speak and articulate my thoughts to you. Clearly, I'm going

673
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 2: to take speech to prepare myself. That's a part of

674
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: me dreaming in Black to me because it was preparatd

675
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: the preparation, taking the voice lessons and learning how to

676
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 2: sing different styles of music, adding to the narrative of

677
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: the story. It's not always about the song. Sometimes people

678
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: are interested in who you are. Sometimes who you are

679
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 2: draws the people more than your art or what you think.

680
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 2: Your gift is. Your gift makes room for you and

681
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: it brings you before great people, great men and women.

682
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: So what do you have to give? The more you're dreaming,

683
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: the more that you prepare yourself. But you have to

684
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: believe that you're going to be there. The more that

685
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 2: you believe that you're going to be there, the more

686
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: prepared you will be. And even if it's not always

687
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 2: about a rigorous program in your spirit, you will have

688
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: a settledness that you belong because there are a lot

689
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 2: of people that are going to tell you that you

690
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 2: don't belong here. Even at the height of your career

691
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 2: and what you do, people are gonna still tell you

692
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 2: that you don't belong here. It may be a critic

693
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: that writes an article about you in a magazine or

694
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 2: a show or something that comes out and somebody tries

695
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 2: to disqualify you. That's why you got to keep dreaming

696
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 2: in black, dreaming in black, dreaming in black, and then

697
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: you can stand in the truth of that and you'll

698
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 2: be prepared at all times.

699
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 4: Wow, I want to do something different. Since you've done

700
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 4: your top fives and all you've done those already, I

701
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 4: want you to give me one artist that influenced you

702
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: the most and why Okay, I.

703
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 2: Like that, the greatest, greatest, greatest artist that influenced me

704
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 2: with Stevie Wonder. Come on, give it up with Stevie Wonder.

705
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 2: But when he sees Tank, he's gonna punch him in

706
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 2: the face. I want to punch him in his face.

707
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 2: Why hold up before I before I continue? Why is

708
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 2: he gonna punch you in the Vince? You gotta beat

709
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 2: with Stevie.

710
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 3: No.

711
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: But the reason why for me was I saw Stevie

712
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: as a person that had no boundary. When he would

713
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 2: sing just like I sang you an Italian song. He'd

714
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 2: sing different languages, different styles, and he would always make

715
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: it his own thing. And his voice never seemed like

716
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 2: it had endless it was like endless range, right, But

717
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: that was really I felt like, not only was he

718
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: an incredible singer, but you're talking about a great a

719
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 2: great producer, a great writer, a person that studies and dreams.

720
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: Yes to this day, I know that Stevie Wonder's still

721
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: dreaming about what's next, even with all of his accomplishments.

722
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: This is not a journey that you go on where

723
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 2: you arrive. Life is not a journey that you go

724
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 2: on where you arrive. That's what keeps us dreaming. It's

725
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: the dream that keeps us moving forward. And I've talked

726
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: to Stevie where I can. He's like, Yeah, I want

727
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: to write this kind of song next, and and you're

728
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 2: thinking of a brother. You've done it all, what you

729
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: don't step aside save some for us?

730
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: Right?

731
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 2: But that that's my thing. I loved him so much

732
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 2: because he seems to have no boundaries to his gift.

733
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 2: I like how you just suddenly just poor Champagne on

734
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: our podcast about how you talk to Stevie because I don't.

735
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 2: I don't talk to Stevie. I don't. I don't, Stevie,

736
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 2: if you're listening, I want to talk talk something. But

737
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 2: he's an incredible He's an incredible person. So I'm thinking

738
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 2: Stevie would come on the podcast. We're waiting Steve Stevie.

739
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: Y'all make some noise if y'all want to see Stevie

740
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: Wonder on the Army Money podcast Stories Man Motown. I

741
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 2: can only imagine. I can only imagine another question. Give

742
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 2: me one song that when that song used to come on.

743
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 4: You, it just took you to a place where you

744
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 4: wanted to be on stage singing that song.

745
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 2: Wow, you know what it was.

746
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 5: A chair is still a check.

747
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 2: Even when there's no one.

748
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 5: Sitting there.

749
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 2: But a she.

750
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 5: It's not a hot and a house is not a

751
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 5: home when there's no one there.

752
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 2: Told you're tired and no one there. You can't kid

753
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 2: good night. Yeah. Now, Peter always made me. When I

754
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: heard him sing, I was like, I want to do that.

755
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out how he just sang that

756
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 2: with that music playing with no inears, no inears.

757
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 4: Come on, man, come on man, listen one time, one time.

758
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 4: I need you to celebrate real talent, real work, ethic.

759
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 3: A real artist, a real one. Ladies and gentlemen.

760
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 2: I heard she said, I know that's right.

761
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 3: Why did he act like that? Why does he acting

762
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: like that?

763
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 2: I thought he was about to say, get it sex. See,

764
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 2: that's what I would have said. I ain't lying now,

765
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 2: don't act like y'all. Don't be listening to it though.

766
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 2: Come on, don't do that, don't do that. I get it,

767
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 2: I can't get it nowhere.

768
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 3: I'm thinking.

769
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you know yet, Kenny Lotting more in

Speaker 4: Oh my god, listen, I want you all to do

774
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 4: this for me. First of all, dreaming black absolutely right.

00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 4: I want you to see yourself somewhere, and I want

776

Speaker 4: you to believe that nothing can stop you from getting

777
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 4: to that place. And then, like Kenny said, I want

778
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 4: you to take all the necessary steps to prepare yourself

779
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 4: for that place that you know you're going to be in.

780
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,839
