00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 5: Slick Rick and it really just I was the first

44
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 5: artist on deaf Jam. So you know, it started at

45
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 5: a Rick Rooms dorm room and why you dorm room

46
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 5: five university plays and you know, started in the dorm room.

47
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 5: A Rod from the Beastie Boys heard my my demo,

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 5: played it for Rick. Rick liked it, and we ended

49
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 5: up forming the label deaf Jam, and I was the

50
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 5: flagship artist and it was Russell Simmons, Rick Rubin and myself.

51
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: You know that.

52
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 5: You know that, I mean you no zero idea, but

53
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: I mean I did you know it worked out well?

54
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Ain't know? How'd you know then it worked out well?

55
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: First hit? Like did you not say to yourself, wait,

56
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 4: I think there's something here.

57
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 5: Now, you say that way before you make the music

58
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 5: the song that's like an after like that's the end,

59
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 5: like you say, I know there's something here. When you

60
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 5: become a huge fan, you know what I'm saying, and

61
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 5: you start writing your music and you start creating, you know, art,

62
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 5: and you know what that that wave of hip hop

63
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 5: first hit me, so you get right on it.

64
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: So it's way you know what I'm saying.

65
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: So everything that you're seeing now today where you're like, oh,

66
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 5: hip hop's so big and so many people are doing

67
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 5: so much, well, in my mind, it was already that big,

68
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, because I started I was

69
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 5: like first generation fans. So when hip hop first started,

70
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 5: there was a boom around the five you know, the

71
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: five borough especially in the Bronx obviously, but there was

72
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: a boom around the Five boroughs.

73
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: I was getting those tapes because I was in Long Island,

74
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

75
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: Even though I was I was raised in Queens, I

76
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 5: also was in Long Island and the kids the next

77
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 5: door to me were forced to kids, so they had

78
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 5: tapes coming in from the Bronx, And so I'm hearing

79
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 5: all this stuff early, you know what I'm saying.

80
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: So now we get the Long Island connections because I

81
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: tell you why. The Long Island Welcome Center rest stop.

Speaker 1: Yes.

104
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 6: Well, No, hearing you talk about being part of deaf Jam,

105
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 6: even I guess before the creation of deaf Jam is

106
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 6: like hearing when people talk about, oh, Apple started in

107
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 6: my This is crazy, and I don't think people are

108
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 6: going to have that opportunity anymore to do something like that.

109
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 5: But that's not true. There's always an opportunity to build

110
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: something great. Dreams don't have deadlines, you know what I'm saying.

111
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 5: So there's always gonna be there's always gonna be a

112
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 5: new opportunity to do something great, you know. But my

113
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 5: life is full of a lot of first like you know,

114
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: like I coined like the term goat that everybody like

115
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 5: I coined that in two thousand my album was called

116
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 5: Goat and you know, and I didn't now had I

117
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 5: known men? Now that's a hat I have known men.

118
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 5: I didn't trademark that that is a had to. I know,

119
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 5: I gotta give you that one, you know what I mean,

120
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 5: We're gonna swap that out for the death jail. And

121
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: So to see that goat in the popular culture, the

122
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 5: way it's going and kind of spread into other areas

123
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 5: and just become like synonymous with excellence is an amazing

124
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 5: thing to see, you know what I mean.

125
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: One of them. So Froggy's in Jacksonville. Froggy.

126
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: His goat is of course Tom Brady, Tom Brady. Had

127
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: you known him back then, Tom Brady would be involved

128
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: with the word goat.

129
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 7: He should have to pay l every time somebody calls

130
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 7: him the goat. But absolutely ll let me ask you

131
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 7: who is the goat? Is it Jordan, is it Brady?

132
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 7: Or is it you?

133
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: I think you can.

134
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 5: I think it's subjective, and I think you can have

135
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 5: goats in many fields, and I think you can have

136
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 5: people that are on top of their game in many

137
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 5: many fields. You know what I'm saying. I mean, that's

138
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 5: the real answer. And in art, we know it's subjective,

139
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. We know that people have

140
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 5: to decide who they love. But at the end of

141
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 5: the day, ikon the term you know what I'm saying,

142
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: and I just want to. I just want to be

143
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 5: clear about that. You know, whether you think I am

144
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 5: or not, you know what I mean?

145
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 6: Try to trademark this is it even possible anymore?

146
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Good life up, good luck? I mean, you can probably

147
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: get something, but you.

148
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: Know you'll be retired like twenty times over.

149
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: No. No, because I do what I love. I don't

150
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: if I want to.

151
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 5: If I was doing it for money, I would have

152
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 5: retired a long time ago, saying I'm doing it because

153
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 5: I love it.

154
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: So what is next? Then? Because you've I feel like

155
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,840

Speaker 1: Record, this record is next.

Speaker 1: Hey, what is it about?

180
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: Of course from long line, but when you come to

181
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: New York City, what is it about the energy of

182
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: this city that's so different than any other place on.

183
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 5: Earth for you because you're meeting so many different cultures

184
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 5: and so many different types of people. Like this is

185
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 5: a place where it doesn't matter where you're from. You

186
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: could be the mane Erect the Herald Club at the

187
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 5: bout Fat this morning, and you still gotta walk next

188
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 5: to you know what I'm saying, people that are living

189
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 5: everyday lives and blue collar people.

190
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: So you know, New York is full of all kinds.

191
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 5: But I think the thing about New York is that,

192
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 5: you know, like like during the pandemic, I got the

193
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 5: opportunity to travel around the city anonymously.

194
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: I don't get to do that a lot.

195
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 5: So I had, you know, the sorry, I had a

196
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: mask on, I had, you know what I'm saying, my

197
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: hoodie on and I'm running and I went to like

198
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 5: the projects, and I was on the subway on but

199
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 5: different subway cars going all over the city. I was

200
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 5: on different public you know, transportation and doing things. And

201
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 5: you you'll be surprised at how quickly you forget what's

202
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 5: going on in the real world, and how you can

203
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 5: be in a bubble even when you don't know it

204
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 5: because you're jumping in your uber because you're going to

205
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 5: do your lunch, because you just jumping in your car

206
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 5: going to get your coffee, you know what I'm saying.

207
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 5: So you you like getting that opportunity, you realize how

208
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 5: real the city is and how much fabric, how much

209
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: energy is in the actual streets of the city, you

210
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So, and that is why the

211
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 5: song thirty Decembers on the record. So it's like all

212
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 5: of those kinds of things are the things that make

213
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 5: it exciting to being New York man.

214
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it's New York baby. There's two sides to

215
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: New York City. There's a side where it's bigger than you,

216
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: It's bigger than all of us. It's the other side

217
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: is the other side of this is if you conquer

218
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: it here, How big does that make you?

219
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: Like? How important? How important is that? Well? You know, yeah,

220
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: it's well.

221
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 5: Listen, making your dream come true as an art form,

222
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 5: right like being able to you know, take a kernel

223
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 5: of a dream and turn it into a reality is

224
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: not something that is easy to do. But if you

225
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 5: can do it here, you know, in a lot of ways,

226
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: it's even more opportunity because you find different types of people.

227
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 5: So it's in a way you can kind of find

228
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 5: your niche in this.

229
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: City if you believe in it. You just can't.

230
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 5: You just have to be comfortable in your own skin

231
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 5: in terms of what you're looking to do. You can't

232
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: be swayed by what other people say you're supposed to

233
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 5: be doing.

234
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

235
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: I get goosebumps listening to because I always come in

236
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: here saying like because I'm from New York, I'm from

237
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: the Bronx, and I say. It doesn't matter how long

238
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: I've been here. Still walking around the city, I think

239
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 3: this place is insane, and I always think the same thing,

240
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: like all different people from all over the place is

241
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: what makes this place tick.

242
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: And I love the fact that even when they look

243
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: at you like you're dirt, you know what I mean?

244
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: Look at this dirt.

245
00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 5: Standing next to me, and we're disgusting dirtund.

246
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 6: Now that we are back to being masked free again,

247
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 6: will you ride the subway?

Speaker 1: Your security guys are going.

252
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: Now, here's a list of things we're not doing on it.

253
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:28,320

00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: to his very first concert LL Cool J's.

260
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: It's outside and I had front row because I worked

Speaker 5: the crowd surge, everybody's like and then everybody started singing.

265
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: I didn't hear a word that you said because everybody

266
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 5: behind me was singing, and I couldn't hear you, and

267
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 5: your ribs were breaking on the fence breaking.

268
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: I couldn't. He's not experience, you, guys.

269

Speaker 5: So you've got some excitement in your life. Once congratulation,

270
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 5: did you take it?

271
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: Bet? It?

272
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 5: Did you? At least let the girl stand in front

273
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 5: of you.

274
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: So she's doing in front of you, against the fence,

275
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: and you're against her, and he's on the stage, he's

276
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: doing the pushing for it.

277
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: You're welcome. If anything, that was so fun?

278
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: Okay, COJ is here. We gotta talk about the force

279
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: the album all right? So, I mean, it is your

280
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: fortieth year in hip hop, and it was that, of course,

281
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 2: that was on your mind when you went into the

282
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 2: studio with your thoughts, with your spirit and with all

283
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: these people with you.

284
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: What is this?

285
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 2: What is It's the dumbest question in the radio, but

286
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask the question, what's this album all about?

287
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: For you? So?

288
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 5: So the album is basically it's it's a cookout, but

289
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 5: everybody's invited. It's like the blackest album in the world.

290
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 5: But the thing is you're all invited and you can

291
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 5: all come and experience the force in a way that

292
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 5: you could be a fly on the wall. And I

293
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 5: talk about all the fun though it's not preachy. It's not.

294
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 5: There's all different moods on it. There's aggressive songs, there's

295
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 5: dangerous songs, there's sexy songs, song called proclivities. There's a

296
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 5: lot of different styles of music on it and vibes,

297
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 5: but there's you know, there's everything from Murder, Graham Toro,

298
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 5: Like it's really an album that.

299
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: Is just about cultural impact.

300
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 5: And you know, like like I give you an example,

301
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: like thirty Decembers, I said, I came up off the street,

302
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 5: took some pissy steps up to the belly of the beasts,

303
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 5: which way I go, kind of confusing. The machines that

304
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 5: are not working, They ain't no tokens or nothing. This

305
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 5: thing that changed over a sudden. It's like I died

306
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 5: and came back. Different places and faces on their phones

307
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 5: and computers. No one is reading the papers, so there's

308
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 5: all kinds of just different types of songs that deal

309
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 5: with different layers of of you.

310
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Know, life. You know what I'm saying. We're talking about

311
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: proclivities that yeah, okay, well.

312
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 5: Proclivities is you know we all have it at your

313

Speaker 1: That.

331
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: As Danielle was saying earlier, I mean we've seen you act,

332
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: we've seen your host. You hosted the iHeart Radio Music

00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: Yes awardsor festival one.

334
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: It was he it was heat a couple of.

335
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: Wars ago, and then you get into the studio. Where's

336
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 2: your first love? My first love is creating music. You

337
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, My first love is making hip hop.

338
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: I mean I do the hosting and all that because

339
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: I love to be close to music. I only took

340
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: the only reason I took time off it kind of

341
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 2: I might. I kind of heard you say something earlier.

342
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: But you can't be a part time artist. You have

343
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: to be fully committed.

344
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 5: So I had made it an album a while ago,

345
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 5: but you know, about ten eleven years ago.

346
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: But it was experimental.

347
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 5: I was doing the show, I was doing NCIS, I

348
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 5: was doing all this other stuff, and it just did

349
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 5: It felt phoned in unintentionally, but it felt phoned in

350
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: to me. So my first love is hip hop. But

351
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 5: you got to have the time to do things correct,

352
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 5: to do it well, you know what I'm saying, to

353
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 5: really be aggressive and get it done.

354
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: So give me the quote again. Being an artist is

355
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: not it.

356
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 5: Oh make it dreams come true as an artful or

357
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 5: being an artist is not a part time jar time.

358
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 5: You can't be a part time artist. You got to

359
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 5: be all the way committed to it. You know what

360
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 5: I'm saying.

361
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: I love that whatever you're doing in life, whatever you're

362
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: passionate about, give it, give it your own.

363
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: What up frog? Yeah?

364
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 7: So with Ella Ella, with the you know, Shibboozi had

365
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 7: a number one song and jelly roll bringing kind of

366
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 7: the hip hop influence in the country, and Beyonce has

367
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 7: been involved in country Morgan Wallen and Little Dirk. Have

368
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 7: you thought of ever getting involved into the country world

369
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 7: at all?

370
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me tell you so.

371
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 5: Man. You know, I already had a far way into

372
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 5: that and it was like a complete and total disaster

373
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 5: like that. I don't even want to get into it.

374
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 5: I can't even say it.

375
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: On that way. You'll broke yo.

376
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 5: Bro Already I played myself terribly. So I'm gonna I'm

377
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 5: gonna back up. I'm gonna back up off that. I'm

378
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 5: not saying that could never ever. I have no I'm

379
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 5: cool with country some of the me. I love it live.

380
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 5: It's a great music live. I have no issues with it.

381
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 5: But for right now, I'm gonna do this hip hop. Yeah,

382
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna say focus on the hip hop. Man.

383
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 7: It's changed so much though, I mean, country has changed

384
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 7: a lot in the last five years. The the hip

385
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 7: hop influence can be seen throughout country very deeply now,

386
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 7: much more than it was probably when you tried it

387
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 7: back in the day.

388
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's absolutely true. But one thing that hasn't

389
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 5: changed is the fact that I'm gonna stay with this

390
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 5: hip hop.

391
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: That's what hasn't say. But but I feel you though,

392
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, I do feel you. I feel you.

393
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: I love Therionce's cowboy hat. Yeah great, I like the

394
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 5: hat a lot. You know what I'm saying.

395
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: He's not backing out.

396
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: Of the stage.

397
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 6: I have so many questions about what happened.

398
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 4: Was it the song?

399
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,360

416
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 5: I'm doing. I'm running around New York telling people about

417
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,240

420
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 5: about this album.

421
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: So okay, let's talk about us, who we've been listening to.

422
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: We've been listening to you for years. Thank you. You know,

423
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: before you got here, I played I Need Love.

424
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

425
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been listening to you for years. But you

426
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: have new people's turning you on for the very first time.

427
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 5: Percent And that's the beauty of it, right like that,

428
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 5: That's the whole idea is like, you know, it's kind

429
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 5: of like sports, right like Tom and Brady in sports

430
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: is you get new fans, you introduce new people.

431
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to show.

432
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 5: Was possible because seeing hip hop a lot of times

433
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: because the genre is relatively young. See people, hip hop

434
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 5: is fifty years old now fifty one, right, People think that,

435
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 5: oh that's a long time until you have somebody transition

436
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 5: at fifty one. Then you say you know what, that's

437
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: not so old. So the genre is actually not that old.

438
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 5: So it's like, you know, for me, what used to

439
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 5: doing this? We used to artists going and leaving and

440
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 5: never making any more impact. Ever again, we just kind

441
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 5: of used that. We've been kind of it's been ingrained

442
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 5: in us that you can't continue on. But I was

443
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 5: just just saying with the Stones at their concert, you

444
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, watching them and I'm like, you know,

445
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 5: I'm looking at Mick do his thing.

446
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm you know, looking at Bruce Springsteen do his thing.

447
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 5: I'm looking at different artists that go all the way

448
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 5: and do their thing, and it's like that can be

449
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 5: done in hip hop as well. You know what I'm saying.

450
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 5: It's just the matter. We're just not accustomed to it happening.

451
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: So that's that's my goal. That's why I'm doing this.

452
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 5: And you know what I'm saying, I'm showing people that

453
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 5: you can really do this at a high level, not

454
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 5: just putting you know, mediocre albums out.

455
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm really, you know

456
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, doing this.

457
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 8: You know, so with with all the collapse you have

458
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 8: on this album, especially with all of the you know

459
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 8: these legendary artists as well, right, and you all have

460
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 8: different styles, how do you all work together together in

461
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 8: the studio and see how the cadence is going to

462
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 8: go in the rhymes.

463
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 5: So so, first of all, the and I picked everybody

464
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 5: all of the different features on this record is because

465
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 5: of the sound of the music. When going Q Tip

466
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 5: from a child Cold Quest who just got inducted into

467
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 5: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

468
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: So he's an amazing guy.

469
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 5: When he started working on these things, when I would

470
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 5: hear the sonics and I'm starting to write the song,

471
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 5: and I'm like, you know what, this would be a

472
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 5: good And every song is not a collaboration, by the way,

473
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 5: but the ones that are, it'd be like, this would

474
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 5: be a good song for Nasoh, this would be a

475
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 5: good song for eminem. Oh, this would be a good

476
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 5: song for Swedi or whoever else it is we're playing.

477
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, we're putting on So it's like

478
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 5: I I you know, I would do that. Listen to

479
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 5: the sonics. Then I would hit the artist or he

480
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 5: would hit the artist, depending on who has a relationship.

481
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 5: Then we would go in the studio like with me

482
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 5: and em. You know what we did was, you know,

483
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 5: Tip made the beat. I'm like, oh, I love this.

484
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 5: I think this would be great for me and M.

485
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 5: So I text M. I send him the beat. He

486
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 5: listens to it. He's like, yo, I like it all right.

490
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, we you know, and we recall

491
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,480

492
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 5: in the room, I'm writing my rhyme. I record my thing.

493
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 5: I leave out of the room. He goes in, he

494
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 5: writes his part. He comes out of the room, and

495
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: we went back and forth like that would see each

496
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 5: other passing in the hallway. Then at the end when

497
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 5: we kind of do a back and forth thing, we

498
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 5: were in the room together doing that last part. And

499
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 5: so in terms of cadences, that's like a guitar player,
