00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 5: But was that something that you guys did deliberally was

106
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 5: like tvate soul good like.

107
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 7: All honestly, honestly, we didn't know any better. We was

108
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 7: learning how to make records when we first got with

109
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 7: Black Moon, with watching him in Calliope studio, breaking all nighters,

110
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 7: and we always used to say, yo, I'm not making

111
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 7: a song for the chicks. I'm not making a club song,

112
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 7: because that was how the labels used to say, Yo,

113
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 7: we need this for the club, we need this for

114
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 7: the radio, we need this for the chicks. So out

115
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 7: of those three, it's just like now all we know

116
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 7: how to do is make was what we love was

117
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 7: pure to us, so we never really got trapped in

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 7: that mindset like that.

119
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 8: And then we also had females that was like, yo,

120
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 8: what is like a girl? So like they they'll danced

121
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 8: to like a mom deep song. They danced to a compona.

122
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: They liked it. It was an era to you.

123
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 9: They know the corner though.

124
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying, peep it out, Like if you're

125
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 8: not made like that, you're just making something trying to

126
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 8: cater to us, They're gonna fall back, get up out

127
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 8: of here that.

128
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 5: So I'm involved myself in this a little bit, right.

129
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 5: I remember me making the War Reporter album and I

130
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 5: wanted to.

131
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,160

159
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, damn never you know.

160
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 5: What I mean.

161
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: But I think it was. Yeah.

162
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 7: I mean that's what brothers and partners do, right, because

163
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 7: no one is the head. When you come together as

164
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 7: a tag team, it's like some let's try this. If

165
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 7: it don't work, we try that that don't work, then

166
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 7: we revamped the whole join out right.

167
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, now for you, these are two legends, all right.

168
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: Is it hard for you to be in the studio

169
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: with them? Yeah, I can't understand.

170
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 5: You know, it's weird for me because not weird, but

171
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 5: it's different from me because I'm born and raised in

172
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 5: North Carolina and I sit in the and I sit

173
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 5: in a weird position. I'm their age, close to the age,

174
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: but in music years, I'm not their age.

175
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: So it's their fan. I'm a fan.

176
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: So while they were making records in the nineties, I

177
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 5: was in college. I was doing this, I was doing that.

178
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: So I got into the game. I got into the

179
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 5: game when I was twenty eight twenty nine years old

180
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: and considering a hip hop that's late, right, So now

181
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 5: I'm getting in and now I have the task of

182
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 5: how do I keep their sound and keep their feeling,

183
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 5: but make it futuristic. You see what I mean. I

184
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 5: call it futuristic nostalgia, That's what I call it. To

185
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 5: keep that feeling their brand, because Smith Winston is a brand.

186
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 5: It's not only a sound, it's a look, it's it's

187
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 5: you know, the tams everything. So how do I keep

188
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 5: that futuristic and modern at the same time not lose

189
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 5: the fans that they've had for years. I think that

190
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 5: people mess up when they do that. They just forget

191
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 5: the old fans. You can't forget that, that's the foundation.

192
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: You can't do that.

193
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: So that's my job, Like I have to try to

194
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 5: find a way because me living in North Carolina, I

195
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 5: still live around the people I went to college with,

196
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 5: so I know what they like and I know how

197
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 5: to make what they need. So I sit in this

198
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 5: position of I know how to make what I want

199
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 5: to hear or what.

200
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: A fan in me wants to hear.

201
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 5: So that's that's how I can tackle that. That's what

202
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 5: that's what's so beautiful about this album. It sounds like nineties.

203
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: Now, which we said that coming and Pete Ruggers.

204
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 5: It doesn't sound like it sounds like y'all now, which

205
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: is which is so fucking dope, bro, Like I'm not

206
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 5: gonna let y'all just do it.

207
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: Is so really because it's umble, y'all going to be humble.

208
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 5: But I'm gonna go ahead and call it a classic

209
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 5: right now.

210
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: I'm ready to fight for that. I'm staying in the water.

211
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 5: We Nail said, that's my product of sending on it.

212
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, ninth is a Jedi man, of course.

213
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 7: I think the very first day we walked in, we

214
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 7: we were going in I wouldn't say blindly, but we

215
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 7: didn't know what he was going to paint.

216
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: On this canvas, right And when.

217
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 7: We got down there because we traveled from the Yo,

218
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 7: we took a real trip to North Carolina and stayed

219
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 7: down there to put this together. As soon as we

220
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 7: walked in, he was like, Yo, we're making a shining too,

221
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 7: I don't care what you say, and Off the Mustle

222
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 7: were like, Nah, we ain't. That's definitely not what we're

223
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 7: doing right now. But the way things was coming out

224
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 7: and coming together, the joints, and as soon as he

225
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 7: was playing joints, he was like, Yo, that's that's that's

226
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 7: the vibe right there.

227
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: And I think we walked that bitch down and this

228
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: is this is our road.

229
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: But that's something y'all did a record with it all,

230
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: I'm saying, but that somebody won entity like the Beat

231
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 3: Miners Oversaw The All was the album.

232
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 5: The album before this, Me and this whole council, my

233
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 5: production team, meet Crisis cash He Jones and Eric g.

234
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 5: The Great Knots soundtrack, The Young who did blackmince on

235
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 5: this one.

236
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's right. I was like, you.

237
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 5: Were making the shining. Not gonna call it the shining too,

238
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 5: but that's what we gotta make. We have to make

239
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 5: something that feels like that, but it's not doesn't sound old,

240
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 5: it sounds new, something something right now.

241
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 8: I think what helps is that these guys don't the

242
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 8: egos is not there like or like like he's talking

243
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 8: about being a fan, and I think each one of

244
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 8: these individuals bring that that same energy and it's it's

245
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 8: you know, it's competitive, but it's still healthy because you

246
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 8: can go in any doing here somebody knocking beats like yo,

247
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 8: who track is that?

248
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: Yo?

249
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 9: We need that over here and to bring that over here,

250
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 9: you know what I mean.

251
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 8: So it's all welcoming and it's a family vibe. So

252
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 8: it was free for us, which reminded us of us

253
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 8: of the essence of being in like a D and D.

254
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: So it was all we had to do was show up,

255
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

256
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 5: Me for me hearing it, it sounds like you made

257
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 5: old the records together, every record recall, because that's what

258
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 5: And I hate just be like that guy in my time,

259
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 5: but in my time, the records came out better because

260
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 5: we were all in the studios together. We didn't want

261
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 5: to send a two California. We wanted to bring that

262
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 5: shit ourselves.

263
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: Him.

264
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 5: For me hearing it, I have no inside information. For

265
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 5: me hearing this album, I can almost tell that y'all

266
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 5: recorded everything together.

267
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 7: Any day, Okay, every day, Yeah, every day. I don't

268
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 7: think Chef Jones. He ain't Chef up on this one,

269
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 7: but yeah, but yeah, every day we was in there.

270
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 7: And Knife is he's a real producer, he says.

271
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 3: Fan.

272
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 7: I'm definitely a fan of his work from before I

273
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 7: even you know, really caught on to how dope he was.

274
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 7: And he's one of those producers that's just gonna not

275
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 7: let you go in there and talk any bullshit or

276
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 7: go off this way. He's gonna make sure you in

277
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 7: the pocket. He's gonna give his his his input, he's

278
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 7: gonna give you his criticism. And if you don't got

279
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 7: tough skin, you think you're not ship, you can't be touched,

280
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 7: You're gonna your feeling's gonna be hurt. But Knife is

281
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 7: one of those producers that's hands on with it. Like

282
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,479
Speaker 7: even with this album, we all help with the sequence

283
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 7: of it because you know he DJ so listening to

284
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 7: a different air, we covering different bases.

285
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,599
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah.

286
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 3: But even the verses from Prodigy and Sean Pete sounded

287
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: like they recorded with you.

288
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'm.

289
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: Just saying for this, like they seemed like they was

290
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: meant to be on this. They were.

291
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 7: They were When the first time we heard the beat

292
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 7: for the Black Imminence, he was like, you know, I

293
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 7: can hear Pee on this, So we automatically what Pete

294
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 7: Sean p Nah, I'm like, oh, we already got a

295
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 7: Prodigy versus because we did a whole tour with Mob

296
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 7: Deep and you know, we was building our bond outside

297
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 7: of Wrap being my bestie was just Ta she passed

298
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 7: from Tickle Sale, so he was giving me a lot

299
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 7: of feet in my soul with information about it, and

300
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 7: I would take it back to her and we'll chop

301
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 7: it up with her mother and we'll just smile and

302
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 7: laugh and be like yo. So that's sort of the

303
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 7: inspiration behind on the Infinity, because she would speak with

304
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 7: such passion to a mom to be like, yo, we

305
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 7: I love you from infinity and beyond. So that was

306
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 7: some of the inspiration, but not to get on track

307
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 7: when he spoke about the Prodigy, he hear it. It

308
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 7: automatically reconnected and it was God's time and to be

309
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 7: once we had the perfect backdrop forward to put it on.

310
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 7: We just picked up our brains by brushes and it.

311
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: Was in that mix man to make it.

312
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: That's Jake the lumber crazy because you could get people

313
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,760

Speaker 2: It's not gonna sound like that.

00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 9: That's and salute the Bernardette Price too, because.

317
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: birthday seance again again. I don't know if I ever

318
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: said the story.

319
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 5: I think I did, but I would tell you I

320
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 5: write a show Price to a barbecue and he came

321
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 5: to the barbecue, but it was on Rabinad.

322
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: I didn't know. He was like, I'm on. I was like,

323
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: you got to He's a very unique, very unique Verson.

324
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 7: He was one of us that speak speak their mind

325
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 7: all the time and what you thought about, and he

326
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 7: was like one of those persons that's very sincere, so

327
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 7: it might be taken in the wrong way.

328
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: And then at the same time he was hilarious. Yeah,

329
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: he's the love.

330
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 5: Another moment was just recently you guys just had a

331
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 5: release party and Buster Rhymes came out and gave her like, like,

332
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 5: how was that to see your your Elder statesman like

333
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 5: show that love and respect to you guys.

334
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's a phenomenal thing, because I think

335
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 7: it is any artists once you get into the game,

336
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 7: that's one of your main goals besides getting money get

337
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 7: in the bag, is to be accepted and liked for

338
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 7: what you do by your peers. I think that topples

339
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 7: a lot of the accolades where it comes to awards

340
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 7: and everything. Like when you hear Primo say, Yo, you

341
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 7: got dope beats. So you hear a super hot rapper

342
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 7: that you like, be like, yo, that's ship.

343
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: You said balls.

344
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 7: That's now you're like, okay, so what that is is,

345
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 7: oh man, it was Buster as our man. Salute the

346
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 7: dragging him and Young Trillion. They gotta joint out. It's

347
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 7: rocking right now. So, like you said, the Elder Statesman, man,

348
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 7: when it's come from people like that, it is respected

349
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 7: by the people.

350
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: That's the audience is received well. And it ain't.

351
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 7: It ain't coming off as no no Dick Roding type ship.

352
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: You know, nobody.

353
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 9: Let me add on know, because because that's that's important.

354
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 8: Because you said earlier, you said, I feel like nineties

355
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 8: now right in the nineties, we always fucking with each other,

357
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,919

360
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 8: animosity in the game right now.

00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 5: have k.

442
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 8: We talk about it. It's not about I don't know,

443
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 8: I won't say we realize it or whatever. We talk

444
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 8: about it. We discuss it, but we face so much adversity,

445
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So it's like, I mean,

446
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 8: we've been paying dues for a long time and we

447
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 8: still are like we out here on our own grind.

448
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 9: This is an independent grind, that's right.

449
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 8: I mean, shout out to Drew Idh and James, but

450
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 8: we're out here with the queens right now. We're out

451
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 8: here with queens. Get the money, Senegal Smith, you know

452
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 8: what I mean. And the brother came up for this

453
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 8: and it's like we're putting this together and it reminds

454
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 8: us like what we was doing then we had a

455
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 8: little independent label paying for the overhead and the flights.

456
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 9: But we're doing this now, you know.

457
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: What I mean.

458
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 8: So it feels although it's heavy, you know, it's like,

459
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 8: all right, we look at it and go like we

460
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 8: earned to own our own our ship. So that's what

461
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 8: it feels like. And it's like this would it comes

462
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 8: with being the boss. Boss, not the looks and all

463
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 8: of that, like he said, the accolades and all that,

464
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 8: Like this one comes to being the boss the hard work,

465
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 8: so that part of it is like it feels great.

466
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 8: And then to be able to sit around the table

467
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 8: with brothers like y'all, like yo, man, you know, so you're.

Speaker 5: they can them. Yeah, y'all got y'all flowers and you

00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 5: guys are.

00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: Yo yo you never got so.

520
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah yo, I'm gonna tell you like when when

521
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 8: when when text screenshot it when you hit him on

522
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 8: the ground. Yes, I'm like, wow, that's real, man, I.

523
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 2: Ain't gonna heard that album.

524
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 5: I couldn't hold back. I was like, this is my idea,

525
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 5: was like I need y'all on, you know, because start

526
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 5: to cutting you off so silly, like not because you

527
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 5: are my friends, not because I got a relationship with y'all,

528
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 5: but when I'm sitting there and I'm just listening, and

529
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 5: I'm like, this is how if I was to come

530
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 5: back and make music, I would have to make an

531
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 5: album that I appreciate that you know, have to like

532
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 5: be in that alley of that because I was just like, damn,

533
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 5: I really miss hip hops out like you heard it

534
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: so long, almost crying like.

535
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 8: It's challenging because you don't know how people are going

536
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 8: to accept it, right, So it's like we want that

537
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 8: to happen because it's like we could have gave up,

538
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. It was tough, like we

539
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 8: was like all right, uh, but then his brother's like

540
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 8: Drew and brothers like him to have a conversation and

541
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 8: go Yo.

542
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 9: The guys is hungry.

543
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 8: They want to go back to work, like we We

544
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 8: could be looking around, fishing around, but we got guys

545
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 8: that believe in us, so we got to be ready

546
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 8: to work, you know what I mean. So when we

547
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 8: put that forward, were like, all right, man, hopefully you

548
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 8: get a little bit and y'all fall in love with

549
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 8: this again because we love it. That's why we kept going,

550
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. And the ladies that's pushing us,

551
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 8: they're like, yo, man, we're going to the Grammys this year,

552
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 8: like you gotta. We're not even thinking about that before

553
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 8: one think about that stuff. We're just trying to get raps,

554
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 8: get our money, keep it moving, get our a little

555
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 8: bit of things and stuff, keep it pushing.

556
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 9: But it's like a right, we still here. Wow, what

557
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 9: does that mean?

558
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: You know?

559
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 9: So we got to make something that's substantial and.

560
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 7: Just to add on, I think that comes with a

561
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 7: lot of artists like you. You you do fall out

562
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 7: of love with it because the business be so manipulated,

563
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 7: y is, sometimes you have to find other ways to

564
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 7: do it. And I think for us would really help

565
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 7: with this album is we left outside of New York,

566
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 7: outside of the conference zone and actually traveled to his home.

567
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 7: Like you said, it brought back the feeling of recording

568
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 7: and D and D like you know how it would

569
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 7: be going when you come through there.

570
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 5: That was one of my questions because in my notes,

571
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 5: that's that was one thing that I literally said I

572
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 5: was jealous of y'all about because I could feel that

573
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 5: y'all still was loving it. And at times, if I

574
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 5: don't love this ship, you ain't gonna do it.

575
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna do it. So when I'm listening, that's

576
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: what I was listening, not the country.

577
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 7: We were just listening to what the CNN album, and

578
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 7: we were just talking about love and he gave the

579
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 7: perfect line like when you said, Yoop, I didn't want

580
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 7: to make that's real, that's ship.

581
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

582
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 5: So so that was something that I really paid attention

583
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: to this album, and I listened to you guys voice

584
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 5: you're breathing, and I couldn't tell that y'all felt out

585
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 5: of that.

586
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: So when me hearing you say that just.

587
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 5: Now actually brings something something warm to my heart because I.

588
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 2: Know I'm not alone now.

589
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 5: But like so, so now let me ask that question

590
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 5: straight up? Have you ever really felt out of love

591
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 5: with damn?

592
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 7: Like like this is this is a stand of time

593
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 7: and a testament like this ship should be studied. We

594
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 7: got thirty years in the music industry and more than

595
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 7: that is friendship as brotherhood. So you never see nothing

596
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 7: on social media. You never say it's taking no cheap

597
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 7: shots at each other, not a lonely us, but of

598
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 7: any boot camp. So and then you see Drew and

599
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 7: you see how we keep pushing forth. But there's been

600
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 7: times that came up of you like man, fuck this

601
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 7: shit alright, you know what I mean, especially when you

602
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 7: see a lot of things that dangle in front of

603
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 7: your face and you be like, yo, if I just

604
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 7: did this, then it can possibly go that way. But

605
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 7: then now I'm chucking out my morals and principles to do.

606
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 7: So now you have to find something. And I think

607
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 7: it was more of what the inspiration came and being

608
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 7: in the joint for a numerous amount of years.

609
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: They help you find, refine the love, and get reve.

610
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 8: I want to add on too, like salute our brothers.

611
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 8: That's here ever in Convertible Bird. But when we listen

612
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 8: to the album, like it just speaks to our testament,

613
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 8: like for thirty years being in the streets as artists

614
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 8: and being next to criminals doing crime myselves at times

615
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 8: and being like, you know, that's part of that is

616
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 8: part of the unfortunately, that's the part of the blueprint

617
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 8: of most African Americans coming up in in this North America.

618
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 8: Like we know the lingo, we know the slang, we

619
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 8: know we know the hustle talk, we know all of this,

620
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 8: but some of us find a way to do something

621
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 8: a little bit different, like whether it's rap or basketball

622
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 8: or like through rap, we've created other avenues through rap.

623
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 8: So it's like we didn't know that initially, but we like,

624
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 8: if this is a hustle world, let's do that. So

625
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 8: we speak into our testament, and through our testament we

626
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 8: start to grow and travel and know that we got

627
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 8: more in common with people in different places and we

628
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 8: can have more brought up conversations and it's like all right,

629
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 8: what is our responsibility?

630
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 9: We can tell you some of the things that we

631
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 9: messed up at.

632
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 8: So when you see some of these brothers, they can

633
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 8: tell you some of the things where they did as

634
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 8: hustlers in the streets and the time that they did

635
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 8: as opposed to listening to an artist to talk about

636
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 8: a glorifying drug dealing at this particular time, at this

637
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 8: particular age and glorifying things that just gets you murdered out.

638
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 9: Hell, get you just gone.

639
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 8: We want to see you live and we talk that

640
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 8: that's real rap, right, God, you know what I mean.

641
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 8: I want the same thing for you that I want

642
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 8: for me. I want a better life. Like it's not

643
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 8: just enough to dangle something in front of your face

644
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 8: because we still live out here with wolves, you know.

645
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: So it's real. Yeah, I don't think.

646
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 3: I don't think you guys could make a classic album

647
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: like this unless you have those trials and tribulations that something.

648
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 5: But the fact I couldn't, I couldn't feel it, Like

649
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 5: I couldn't feel them falling out of love. That that's

650
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 5: that's dope. You know what I'm saying. Like I felt

651
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: like you know what I'm saying, Like I felt like

652
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 5: you never had fell out of love. He fell back

653
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 5: back to make it out. Yes, I had learned to relearn.

654
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 5: That's so that's why I'm gonna come and hit you off.

655
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 5: I mean, for me, I never unfortunately for that, I've

656
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 5: never fell out of love with it. And probably and

657
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 5: probably the reason why that helped me because I lived

658
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 5: in North Carolina and I've never lived anywhere else. And

659
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 5: so therefore, the music that came out of New York,

660
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 5: the music that came out of Atlanta, the music came

661
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 5: out of l A or any other city that just

662
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 5: permeated hip hop music before we started to make it ourselves.

663
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 5: I left hip hooper fantasy for me, like I never

664
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 5: wanted to get get too close to it because I thought,

665
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 5: if I get too close to it and I get

666
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 5: familiar with it, and then I get out of it,

667
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 5: you know. But living living where I live, it's like, nah,

668
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 5: like you maintained the fan and I maintained the fan.

669
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: Wasn't your beef of a QUI vot some Grammy ship? No,

670
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: let me.

671
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 6: Tell you, in a Grammy community, you received a lot

672
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 6: of slack from being on that take more than people think.

673
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 6: Even with that though, No, like you know, at one

674
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 6: point I was on the committee. But the thing about

675
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 6: that was I was calling people to be on it

676
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 6: with me, and some people say yes and some people

677
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 6: said no.

678
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: And that's just how that went.

679
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 11: But explain people to be on the voting committee. It's

680
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 11: an actual voting community. The way it was it changed again.

681
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 11: So the RAP Committee, I knew. I knew he was

682
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 11: going to ask you. He had this before.

683
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 5: I'm curious, ye know, the Rap Committee was the Gramm

684
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 5: has never had a Rap committee, never had one. So

685
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 5: the Rap Committee started in twenty sixteen seventeen, wrapped in

686
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 5: R and B was combined at one point that right exactly.

687
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 5: So RAP got its own committee in twenty seventeen, and

688
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 5: so we were all on the committee together.

689
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: That's what it was.

690
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 5: But if you had to clear that up, if you

691
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 5: had a if you were on an album, had anything

692
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 5: to do with an album, it was like conflict interest.

693
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: So you couldn't.

694
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 5: Vote for yourself, saying, you know, you can't vote for yourself.

695
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: I would have voted found that just not for yourself.

696
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 5: You can't vote if the song, if albums are up,

697
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 5: you just can't have any sale.

698
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: What happened area that category?

699
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 5: That you're in the category in the year that so

700
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 5: Damn by Kendrick Lamar four four four by Jay Z

701
00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 5: and Layla's Wasn't Boy Rap City.

702
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: You're kind of flexing right now.

703
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 5: Just get you produced it Layla's Wisdom, I did Duckworth

704
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 5: on Damn and I was on I was my label,

705
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 5: Jamler has a partnership Rock Nation, So it's conflict all

706
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 5: crossed all Ower.

707
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 2: There's nothing I can do.

708
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 5: But even with the Tribe album, at the time, you

709
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 5: have to submit the album to what you feel like

710
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 5: the category needs to be in. And at the time

711
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 5: the Tribe album by their label was submitted as a

712
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 5: not as a it was urban contemporary.

713
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: It wasn't submitted as a right.

714
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 5: And this has happened before, even even on the committee

715
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 5: a couple of times. The Flowers album by Tyler created,

716
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 5: they tried to say that was an alternative album and

717
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 5: they try to take it away from hip hop.

718
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 2: And I'm sitting in the room with all.

719
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 5: These people that speech right, Okay, I'm sitting room with

720
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 5: all these hip hop all these non hip hop people

721
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 5: telling them telling them how hip hop is like you

722
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 5: can't pegg it. It was like, well, it has instrumental,

723
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 5: I said, So it's a quick not goddamn it, you

724
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 5: know what I mean, Like, what are we talking about?

725
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 5: So you got to get they said, because of instruments,

726
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 5: because it sounded musical. So you gotta you gotta think

727
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 5: how people look at our music outside. Yeah, not even that,

728
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 5: just just nothing intricate and nothing genius.

729
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 2: People like like you and knows me absolutely nothing wrong.

730
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 5: I only did it for two years. I'm not Yeah,

731
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 5: but I don't see nothing wrong with that. Why why

732
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 5: were people critiquing you? And I'm outside looking at this

733
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 5: inside of looking out, so but why were people critiquing

734
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 5: you because of that?

735
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, but I wasn't the only one.

736
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 5: I mean it was it was some serious hip hop

737
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 5: lement because I felt like, if we're going to do that, come.

738
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 2: Off not for real.

739
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 5: But I had some people in the room that was

740
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 5: some of my I looked at as Ogz, So I'm thinking,

741
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 5: is if we're gonna have a rap being judged by somebody,

742
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 5: why not being judged by the creators and somebody else.

743
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: So so that's what it was.

744
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 5: And and and when Tribe didn't make it, Q Tip

745
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 5: got online and you know, I called him, and I'm like, dog, like,

746
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 5: what are you doing? What's happening right now? So but

747
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 5: I mean, it's that's my brother man, Like I wouldn't

748
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 5: be here as a producer sampling all different types as

749
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 5: a kid in here that he asked me about the

750
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 5: one of the joint side and sample on Duckworth for

751
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 5: Kendrick Lamar, and it's a it's a you go slip

752
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 5: me a record. I'm not looking outside of jazz and

753
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 5: soul to sample if it was not for q Tip, right,

754
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 5: I'm not doing it. Q Tip is the originator of

755
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 5: looking outside of soul and jazz.

756
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 2: Cool to see Q Tip do a little.

757
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 5: Bit mad, that was kind of cool, Like I was like,

758
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 5: you sweat he was mad, but you know, but we

759
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 5: talked about it. But Q Tip is the architect of

760
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 5: the last one of the architects of the last thirty

761
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 5: five years of hip hop man.

762
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 7: And it's just dope to have somebody like Night, That's

763
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 7: what I'm saying that has that inside. Yeah, because you

764
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 7: would have never known that. You always think, Yo, my

765
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 7: my work is so dope. Why am I not getting

766
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 7: nominated in these.

767
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 3: And changed and your category changed after day and you

768
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: stepped away from it as well.

769
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 2: So you know what, ntil recent years, a lot.

770
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 5: Of people didn't know that you had to actually submit

771
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 5: your album for it. So if you don't submit it,

772
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 5: so a lot of people thought they were snubbed, when

773
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 5: in fact, a lot of us didn't know that you

774
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 5: had the.

775
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: Label to submit it for them. Maybe they didn't.

776
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 5: It's changed since then, but from twenty seventeen to twenty

777
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 5: look at the albums that were nominated.

778
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: Freddy Gibbs was nominated.

779
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's kind of like Jay Electronica was nominated

780
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,479
Speaker 5: nas you know what I mean, Like they're coming around,

781
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 5: they come yeah, Yeah, Nipsey Hustle Chronica is nominated for

782
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 5: that the album he did with Jay. Oh shit, Okay,

783
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 5: all that was nominated at that time. So even the

784
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 5: year that that that, Kendrick Damn was nominated at four

785
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 5: four four it was Damn Rhapsody, jay Z, the Migos

786
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 5: and Tyler created. That's all of hip hop you're looking at,

787
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 5: and that's what that's what we wanted to do at

788
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 5: that time.

789
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's what it was. And now let me ask.

790
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 5: All three of y'all something, and I'll start from you,

791
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 5: do you think our generation and I'm clue to myself.

792
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 5: Do you think our generation is getting the love that

793
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 5: we deserve?

794
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: Yes, our generation.

795
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 7: The mid nineties, I think it's starting to pick up.

796
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 7: They're they're noticing it more from you can say, from

797
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 7: when they started, when they did the fifty Year of

798
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 7: Hip Hop, because they had the big shows and you

799
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 7: were seeing artists that you haven't seen and you forgot

800
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 7: about come out and touch these stages. And then once

801
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 7: NAS did the Yankee Stadium that that bigged it up.

802
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 7: I think there are certain artists that's getting their flowers

803
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 7: and just getting recognized from being still in the game

804
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 7: making dope music. Because it's still some artists that was

805
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 7: bullshit back then that's still bullshit like that. So the

806
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 7: ones that supposed to getting noticed I think are getting noticed.

807
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 7: And it's still a couple of us is trickling and

808
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 7: they're opening up the doors.

809
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 5: What you take, Knife, I said, Yeah, I think it

810
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 5: depends on who you ask. If you ask people my age,

811
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 5: a little bit younger, a little bit older, yes, if

812
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 5: you as a fourteen year old, I wouldn't expect you

813
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 5: know what I mean. So I think that's what it

814
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 5: is that we sometimes we forget to ask to cast

815
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 5: my age. That's why I say I sent the advantageous position.

816
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 5: We got to make sure that we can't forget that.

817
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 5: When when I was making this album, sad to say,

818
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 5: I wasn't thinking about a fourteen year old, you know

819
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 5: what I mean, first thing I'm thinking about is and

820
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 5: there's no lie, what is Brooklyn gonna think? That's the

821
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 5: number at that I was thinking about what is Brooklyn

822
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 5: going to because I have to make Brooklyn happy first,

823
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 5: not only Brooklyn, but the age who's living in Brooklyn. Now,

824
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 5: now the music gets passed down. Cool, but I just

825
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 5: don't think we can forget about the first generation of

826
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 5: hip hop consumers and that's.

827
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 2: What we are. That was deep. Yeah, I got to

828
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: ask you.

829
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 8: I I think as far as Smith and western Man,

830
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 8: I've seen a couple of things that had me upset.

831
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie.

832
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 8: Like as far as like being left out of certain people,

833
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 8: I've seen like hip hop history books of ninety five

834
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 8: and artists of Brooklyn, Like, you can't do a book

835
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 8: like that and not have Smith and Weston name in.

836
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: It based on Brooklyn. They left from Western.

837
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 9: I don't know if it's specifically Brooklyn.

838
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 8: I know it was about history during that time artists

839
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 8: like yeah, like Golden era artists, nineties and stuff like that,

840
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. I don't even think Black

841
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 8: Moon was in there either, So like somebody from the

842
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 8: family gotta make it.

843
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 2: You know.

844
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 8: But more importantly than that, like just to the point

845
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 8: of like Buster did, like we got to show that

846
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 8: it's cool, like we we can't allow the the corporations

847
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 8: and the dollars and what we aspire to do like

848
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 8: split us apart, like we make the bread, you know

849
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 8: what I mean. We can negotiate what we have because

850
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 8: we can walk to the table and be like, well

851
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 8: I got a song with Nori and I got song

852
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 8: all all, like we did that last night. So who

853
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 8: want to pay for that?

854
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 2: Oh meat? You know what I'm saying.

855
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 8: So it's like, well you said that, you know, bid

856
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 8: and walk put something on the table. So when we

857
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 8: come come to the offices with that, like we actually

858
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 8: don't have to ask for anything, you know what I mean.

859
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 8: It's like we have like we're distributed by duck Down,

860
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 8: but we're the label. You know, we're Smith and Wesson

861
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 8: is free agents. Like who's running around like we could

862
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 8: do anything else? But because we love it and because

863
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 8: we love the fans, and we we actually performing for

864
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 8: fourteen year olds, were actually taking this album more tour.

865
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 8: We did a thirty day tour. It's like we're performing

866
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 8: for man, woman, and child. It's like it's like a renewal.

867
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 8: It's like, wow, hold up, like you a thirty year

868
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 8: old came, He's like, yo, this is my son. He's fifteen.

869
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 8: Parents as my mom came, he's like, my son, he's thirteen.

870
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 8: And then we just started doing the knowledge like wait

871
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 8: a minute, hold up.

872
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 2: The parents be a good parent.

873
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, hip hop gonna be and it don't look like

874
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 8: the hip hoppers, Like how is that hip hoppers supposed

875
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 8: to look?

876
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: This is?

877
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 8: This is hip hop is just part of a musical culture, right,

878
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 8: It's a big whole thing.

879
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 9: It's part of all of this stuff.

880
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 8: It has soul in, it has funking, it has folken,

881
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 8: it everything, and it's like, you know, it makes people

882
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 8: moves like everything else. So it shouldn't be carted away

883
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 8: and thrown away. Because Casts is forty five and Cast

884
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 8: is this age. If you're give him something the substance,

885
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 8: we should appreciate it. You know what I'm saying I

886
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 8: grew up on Chuck d I ain't know he was

887
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 8: my elder. I ain't know how old he was or whatever.

888
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 8: Like you know, like even sugar Hill Cats, but like

889
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 8: and that's going to like using uh instruments, you know,

890
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 8: before sampling.

891
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: But even like all.

892
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 3: Those sugar Hill records, they were they had a band

893
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 3: playing right, right. But but to speak to what we're

894
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 3: talking about, that's the void that we tried to fill

895
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 3: in terms of like you know, shouldn't light.

896
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 2: But look, I.

897
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 5: Look, I look and listen to your album. I'm like, yo,

898
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 5: this is exactly what we needed, right. I look at

899
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 5: bustera rohms. I look at Cameron, but he's doing his thing.

900
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 5: I look at Mace, I look at everybody, and it's like, yo,

901
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 5: you know, it's a lot more of us from this

902
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 5: generation that's actually sustaining and living. I can't name five

903
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 5: new artists and I'm not I'm not being the old nigga.

904
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,680

Speaker 2: that dumb ship. Yeah, I got every world.

906
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 5: But what I'm trying to say is I can name

907
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 5: and I'm not trying to this is the generation. But

908
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 5: it's always better to have that longevity than to have

909
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 5: that cool quick points. Here's the deal, right, And I

Speaker 5: of the other statements back then were like that.

931
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: They were like they wanted you to prove yourself.

932
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,640

935
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 5: to talk to me.

936
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: Am I wrong?

937
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 7: As a psychiatrist, I think that goes again, like you said,

938
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 7: it depends on who you asked, because I think right

939
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 7: now that's the disconnect between the Wayians and our generation

940
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 7: like these these a lot of niggers. They only respect

941
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 7: the bag and then if you got the bag, then

942
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 7: and their gang gang and a nigga will yes Man

943
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 7: you to death, will Big Bro you to death if

944
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 7: you've got the bag, and this nigga be twenty years

945
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 7: older than you. But I think that's what the disconnect

946
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 7: from the Wayians or today in the generation because we didn't,

947
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 7: like you said, we ain't know the eldest at one time,

948
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 7: they was looking at us like you saying, we're looking

949
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 7: at them. So we had to learn how to even

950
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 7: maneuver to get that respect and then to reply that

951
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 7: expect to make them want to come aboard and be

952
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 7: like yo, o gee, I see what you're doing or

953
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 7: I get it. That's why we talk to like what's

954
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 7: the name of the joint the crossroads in Brooklyn?

955
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 2: We go into these jails.

956
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, if we go into the youth prisons before they

957
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 7: really get caught up and swept away in it and

958
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 7: try to I'm not saying our way is the right way,

959
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 7: or you better do it this way or you're going

960
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 7: to be fucked up and go to jail.

961
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 2: I'm saying you hear.

962
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 7: Now, learn from that experience, and now look what we

963
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 7: can offer you or do together to show you how

964
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 7: to move on. We ain't got to be best friends

965
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 7: and hang out every day, but just to show you

966
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 7: and to be like, yo, this is how you maneuver

967
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 7: and you can get out and you could do other things.

968
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 7: That's what it disconnect lies for a lot of the

969
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 7: Waiians and this generation.

970
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 8: And you gotta and just like you asked, you said,

971
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 8: are you wrong? Like I think part of it you're

972
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 8: not wrong, but if you ask the question, and you

973
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 8: probably are. You know what I'm saying, Because you want

974
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 8: to say something, You want to say something, but it's

975
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 8: like like even you know, like I grew up, I

976
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 8: grew up around you know, as a young and like

977
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 8: like even eight years old, like I had to, I

978
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 8: had to earn the respect of the elders.

979
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 2: You can't just talk to me so you're not wrong

980
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: for that.

981
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 8: Like dudes, and like you said, the wayans is like

982
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 8: they they sometimes people want to skip the line. It's

983
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 8: like there's things you gotta do to get here, and

984
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 8: we and as the eldest, you're not wrong for wanting

985
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 8: them to kind of like yo, respect that you can't

986
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 8: sit here yet you gotta stay over there, even coming

987
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 8: up in the crib kids, not to say kids and

988
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 8: all of that, but it's like it's things you got

989
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 8: to learn, you shit. And even for us, like when

990
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 8: we saw Black Moon in the studio, we wasn't like, yo,

991
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 8: let's get into yo hear my sixteen Like it's times

992
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 8: when we be in the studio, I think it's becoming

993
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 8: in the studio be like yo, son spit something like

994
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 8: I don't want to hear that ship right now.

995
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:39,919
Speaker 2: Bro.

996
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 8: So I might seem like I might seem like wrong

997
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 8: at the moment I'm supposed to be schooling you and

998
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 8: in the way I am, but that's not the one.

999
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 8: That's not the version you want. So sometimes you got

1000
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 8: to give them that tough love. We came this far,

1001
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, not to just give freebies away,

1002
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 8: like we chopped down all these trees to build land on,

1003
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 8: you know, the build on this land, not just to

1004
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 8: come have squatters here and be like nah, old snap,

1005
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 8: now this is your good.

Speaker 9: Thanks.

1007
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 8: So in that response and that in that regards, it's

1008
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 8: our responsibility to give you some gems because we was

1009
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 8: there when when we didn't get gyms, we was the

1010
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 8: we we're the reflection of that cross roads where we

1011
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 8: didn't get the gyms.

1012
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 9: Everybody was like, yeah, let.

1013
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,400

00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying. So so so we we we

1015
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 8: can do that. Or because he's a professor, he's given

1016
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 8: school you know what I mean, schooling people on. People

1017
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 8: want that information, don't just put it on the on

1018
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 8: the on the social media and it gets mixed up

1019
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 8: and all construed by people who don't really know the culture.

1020
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, for me, I've been a university professor for the

1021
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 5: last twenty years or nineteen years see currently now Duke University,

1022
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 5: and soversion for the last the whitest of the whitest

1024
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 2: Sound like.

1025
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 5: I teach you the African The African American Studies program

1026
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 5: hard with the number two African American Studies program in

1027
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 5: the country, but number two in the country. I think

1028
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 5: for me, man, you know, passing the torch is important.

1029
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 5: How you do it is up to you. I've never

1030
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 5: had a problem with anybody younger than me because this

1031
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 5: generation now grew up listening to my beasts on YouTube.

1032
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 5: So it's just it's different from me. So for the

1033
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 5: you know, although he's not young anymore. For the little

1034
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 5: yachties I talked to from time to time from made

1035
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 5: in Tokyo that I talked to even at one point

1036
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 5: ten years ago, Kendrick, you know, I was a young nigger.

1037
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 2: Cole was a young nigger. Drake was a young nigger.

1038
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 5: Nipsey, Hustle, Rest and Peace, mac Miller, all the ones

1039
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 5: I kind of, you know, talked to over.

1040
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 2: Time, and you know they're doing that thing now.

1041
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I've always been a teachabook type person, so

1042
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 5: I'm always gonna talk to them about something regardless of

1043
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 5: give them some type of because because I truly believe

1044
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 5: there's a difference between the elder and the old nigga,

1045
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 5: and we got too many old niggas. We need elders.

1046
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 5: We need elders to pass down whatever. It's tough. Love

1047
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 5: for any kind of love because some of these kids

1048
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:15,959
Speaker 5: ain't never had no love of any kind.

1049
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 2: So that's that's how I look at art, and I.

1050
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 3: Think there's generationally there's things that could be learned both ways. Yeah,

1051
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 3: but understanding because the newer generation it is instant gratification,

1052
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 3: right old generation, the analog generation understands pain dues.

1053
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 2: You got to figure out how you mentioned.

1054
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 8: It right there to have a conversation, right and see

1055
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 8: here we are like this is this is across those

1056
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 8: right here because this is the table, Like you think

1057
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 8: we're gonna come here and everything is a party party,

1058
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 8: like like what the homie Gilly said, Uh, we we

1059
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 8: respected and looked up to the hustling.

1060
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 2: That's true.

1061
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 8: Most of us knew our position, like we might have

1062
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 8: dipped our toe in there and knew like that first

1063
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 8: dragon snap was like I means, let me reposition myself.

1064
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 9: So it's like it's the gratification.

1065
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's not rap though it's not like let me

1066
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 8: wrap and get the bag and then if I got competition,

1067
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 8: let me wipe them off the planet. Like it's it

1068
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 8: could be structured in a way. Where as as you know,

1069
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 8: like we we had things like Jack the Rapper and

1070
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 8: how can I be down like.

1071
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 2: There is there is no gage. Yeah, and it was.

1072
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 8: It was consistent enough for us to have these conversations

1073
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 8: and get to know who's the next artist.

1074
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 2: And you physically when you physically.

1075
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 8: Instagram so that it takes away from it takes away

1076
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 8: from the feeling of it, but it's still there and

1077
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 8: it's still opportunities to have it when we have places

1078
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 8: like this.

1079
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Do you think that the

1080
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 2: whole crew.

1081
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 5: Are all the illest crew to ever do it? I

1082
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 5: mean when you think about all the layers to the label,

1083
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 5: like that is that is.

1084
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 8: The layers I look up I aspired, like you know,

1085
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 8: I like the wool Man. I like how they did it.

1086
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 8: Man like w Tang blueprint.

1087
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: Is always the yard versus against verse. Yeah, I mean.

1088
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 7: Would ask, oh man, that'll be.

1089
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 2: Against red and gold.

1090
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 5: You know I got I got goosebumps again.

1091
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 2: Y'all.

1092
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 5: Just don't think though, and I love Wan. I think

1093
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 5: the who Tang is the greatest super group ever symbol. However,

1094
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 5: I don't think there's many crews out there that if

1095
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,720
Speaker 5: you look at a Timberland, you think of them first.

1096
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 5: When I look at a Timbland shoot boot I think

1097
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 5: of boot camp first because it's one thing to be

1098
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 5: a crew, but it's another thing to happen. And now

1099
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 5: I'm talking like the kid when I was in college,

1100
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 5: let's go. It's one thing to have a group a crew,

1101
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 5: but it's another thing to have a slang. The way

1102
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 5: they spelled stuff like it wasn't clappers, it was clap us.

1103
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's one thing that have all even slip.

1104
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 3: The West, we're still sucking up the one that that's.

1105
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 5: Everything that comes with the boot camp clok it came

1106
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 5: with it, fatigue, you know what I mean, just wearing fatigues,

1107
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 5: like everything that comes with whether they made it up

1108
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 5: as they're going along or whatever it is, it is

1109
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 5: connected to this crew of people. And there's not too

1110
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 5: many crews in hip hop that has it.

1111
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's that's legacy right there. Yeah, and

1112
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 2: that day come over, the night.

1113
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 8: We were going that we spent time with each other

1114
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,439
Speaker 8: because we didn't have no elders, right we like it's

1115
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 8: like Buckshot act like the old man salute the buck,

1116
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. It's like he had he's

1117
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 8: a visionary and he's not just a rap guy. It's

1118
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 8: like he sees things. He's like, I want to put

1119
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 8: this here. I want to start seeing the pieces. So

1120
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 8: it's like, all right, we we knew we had meetings

1121
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 8: with like certain words we can't use, you know, and

1122
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 8: we started sounding too much like the red You mean,

1123
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 8: like we're going to tone that down a little bit.

1124
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 9: Certain words you can't rhyme with.

1125
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 8: And you know, ranks is important, and rewards and penalties,

1126
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 8: all these things is important. We trained each other structure. Yeah,

1127
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 8: we got a structure, and you know, we were still wild.

1128
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 8: We were still young and youthful and we it's a

1129
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 8: lot of things that we didn't know. Like you know,

1130
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 8: Drew High is great because he didn't try to row

1131
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 8: us when it was time to get through paperwork, which

1132
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 8: is important again because we never signed no contracts with

1133
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 8: these guys, right, Like we never signed to duck down.

1134
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 2: So it's like nobody ain't nobody.

1135
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 8: You can say that, like when you talk about the

1136
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 8: layers of it, like I don't know nobody else situation,

1137
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 8: But we have what we had and we built it

1138
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 8: on how we built it, and I'm grateful for that

1139
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 8: because we have that bond that you know, I guess

1140
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 8: helps us to continue because we know it's still more

1141
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 8: ship to get absolutely you know what I'm.

1142
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 5: Saying that that that's loyalty rights, has been no discrepancies.

1143
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 2: And things like that. Yeah, that's that's something to be

1144
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 2: proud of. Man. Well, we're going to do quick time slides.

1224
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:13,160

Speaker 7: was filming? Which one was he doing off the rim

1228
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 7: when we was out there? When we was out there,

1229
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 7: I think it might have been BULLETEDAD related. So we

1230
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,640

1256
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 5: This is how I feel. This is my opinion. The

1257
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,959
Speaker 5: Infamous is the greatest New York rap I've ever made.

1258
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 7: God right here, right here.

1259
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:18,000

01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 5: of that.

1261
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 2: You agree and disagree. Yes, because in a lot of

1262
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 2: ways it makes no sense.

1263
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't make sense. It doesn't understand where you're

1264
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 5: coming from. But for me, the matic is up there. Personally,

1265
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 5: it's illmatic right something. But for me, when it comes

1266
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 5: to the group effort, if there's no Infamous, there is no.

1267
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 2: You gotta bengue fucked up.

1268
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:48,000

01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 3: The beat miners are sole counsel.

1359
01:08:54,320 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 2: Counsel, what are we talking about? My team? First? But

1360
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 2: he talked on that. You gotta take you that fair enough. Man.

1361
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 5: You know he's on Oprah's magazine cover every month, Oprah.

1362
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 4: You got that every month.

1363
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 2: You know it's on a cover. You know who's on

1364
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 2: the April Oprah you sing?

1365
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 5: So you better big yourself up, don't research that. I

1366
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 5: will say this though, I will say this about evil

1367
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 5: did mister Waller. You know they talked about when Drake

1368
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 5: first dropped, you know, they talked about forty when he

1369
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 5: filtered beats and Drakes sounded like he was wrapping on

1370
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 5: something that sound underwater. Like that's a Beat Minus thing,

1371
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 5: you know, like all of that, like everything buck them down.

1372
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 5: Anything that had they put a filter on and then

1373
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 5: just took the filter off.

1374
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 2: That's a Beat Minors thing. And did the filter automatically

1375
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 2: make a baseline almost? Yes?

1376
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 5: Yes, And that was the beauty about Beat Minors like

1377
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 5: to have that. They did it on a lot of records. Man,

1378
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 5: So I don't think we'll be doing that if it

1379
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 5: wasn't for Beat Minors.

1380
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm and this is not because they're my team.

1381
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 8: Like I'm gonna go with the Beat Minus as tough

1382
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 8: as it is, it's easy for me because like they

1383
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 8: gave us a.

1384
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 9: Sound, you know what I mean, Because like now the

1385
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 9: Arillmatic album.

1386
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 8: Is dope because you got different producers doing different things.

1387
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 8: So we love all of these songs and we knew

1388
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 8: these producers for that. But mister walk sat with us,

1389
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. He cultivated us and put

1390
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 8: us with certain things. And that's part of why we

1391
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 8: ain't never do that crossover type of vibe too. So

1392
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 8: we try to grow into what we was, whatever we

1393
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,760

1494
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 5: That's the only thing, okay now, which leads me to

1495
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 5: my next question. Trip called quest or Tribe Tribe.

1496
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 2: He said that quickly. I just said, it's so quick

1497
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 2: day was.

1498
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 5: Daylight was more innovative, very innovative, very experimental, experimental, three

1499
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,719
Speaker 5: ft high rising. I don't think we'll ever get another

1500
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:21,879
Speaker 5: album like that. Tribe mastered the art of making big records.

1501
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 5: Checked the rhynd was a big record, war to It

1502
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 5: was a big record. Elect React. We are still chasing

1503
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 5: the feeling of elected relaxation to this day. And I

1504
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 5: just figured out what else the Gunda was. I was like, oh, Ship,

1505
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 5: this is a real place. This motherfucker made up. He

1506
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 5: left this world and he made it up.

1507
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 3: I was like, what the movement that was ushered by Tribe?

1508
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 2: But even though the Daylight before but still tried let

1509
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:55,800
Speaker 2: that that's what that's what you know, try it was

1510
01:18:55,800 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 2: ahead of that started it. It felt yeah, I mean, and.

1511
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 5: Although like black Sheet was the one that had the

1512
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 5: biggest Truce was the biggest record. But Tribe, you gotta

1513
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 5: think Tribe had scenario scenario bust the rhymes. Although leaves

1514
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,640
Speaker 5: are the news, that's what that was with Tribe is

1515
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:17,680
Speaker 5: still chasing.

1516
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 2: All of us.

1517
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 5: Slum Village, the roots, craziest ever all tribute there.

1518
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 3: And it helped hip hop become eclectic and and and

1519
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 3: be okay with going in different directions and trying too.

1520
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 9: Is coming from the.

1521
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 8: The whole three feet high and rising the old part

1522
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:47,560
Speaker 8: of that's like saying the same family.

1523
01:19:47,800 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 2: It was on best album two three times, didn't want rising, you.

1524
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 5: Know, there's original was just rising that version, didn't you.

1525
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 2: Want to know that version didn't get clear, that it

1526
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 2: didn't get clear and had.

1527
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 5: To go back in and do a whole different, different sample.

1528
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1529
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:21,400

Speaker 5: White.

1535
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 7: That's that's kind of crazy because working with Buckshot, like

1536
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 7: when it was time to make a radio edit or

1537
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 7: a radio version that they used to call for like

1538
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 7: Buckwood just going to studio and write a whole nother

1539
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 7: song wow, and the remix, the clean version was sometimes

1540
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:50,719
Speaker 7: better than.

1541
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:54,519

Speaker 8: like you know, moms and them had we had Bibles

1574
01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:59,919

01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 8: and we saw the brothers building in the circle talking

1576
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:03,080

1579
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:09,560
Speaker 8: l was like we could sit on the bench. We

1580
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:11,719
Speaker 8: couldn't get into the cipher with them when he was building.

1581
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 8: We get a little here like living in North Carolina,

01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 5: were the first group to evoke that emotion, right, I

1606
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:31,720
Speaker 5: don't know.

1607
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 2: Because you remember, I don't think about it, think about

1608
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 2: about it. But they was from a different coacht from me. Okay,

1609
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:46,479

1610
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 2: I get that. Miami as a whole, it was two groups.

1611
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:58,200

1614
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 2: of the spectrum. Definitely different. I never felt that kind

1615
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 2: of emotion from rap music. Not the song you like

1626
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 3: Because you don't even know. It was before internet, when

Speaker 3: Say a lot of the New York rappers influence, but

1640
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 3: that's why they even decided to do certain things like

1641
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:56,640
Speaker 3: we're not gonna talk about that. We're doing our style everybody.

1642
01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 2: So we can't leave out dog, cannot out the dog.

1644
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 8: It's supposed to, I mean, not politicized, but that's what

1645
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 8: we we politics, you know, that's yeah, they told us

1646
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 8: the politics are comptent because you thought it was one thing.

1647
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 8: You know, we we went there, we're looking out, we're

1648
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 8: looking for the color.

1649
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 9: That's all.

1650
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 8: We same thing, right, and we were there, so it's like, man,

1651
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 8: we got this information from there.

1652
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:22,679
Speaker 3: That was the beauty of that era too, because everybody

1653
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 3: had regional sounds, lingo.

1654
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 2: A whole different without traveling the bay, and you knew

1655
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 2: who was when they were dropping.

1656
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 5: Like mister Lee said all the time, he said he

1657
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 5: learned English through music, but.

1658
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,440
Speaker 2: He learned the wrong He learned the wrong English.

1659
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:42,719
Speaker 9: Learned.

1660
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 2: But that's not.

1661
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 7: Taking Also, it'd be it'd be different countries that you

1662
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 7: go to and they don't they.

1663
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 2: Don't speak you feel me though.

1664
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 7: It be they don't even understand the language, but they

1665
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 7: know the lyrics word for word.

1666
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 3: There's the positive negatives to that I've tried some countries

1667
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 3: where they at the gang culture, not understanding where it

1668
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 3: takes what's happening. And then I've seen the positive side,

1669
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 3: which is to me outweighs the negatives.

1670
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 2: All the time.

1671
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,639
Speaker 5: Like I heard you saying earlier that you guys went

1672
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 5: to Europe, right. I hate to say this sometimes, but

1673
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 5: I have to say it. I feel like sometimes hip

1674
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 5: hop lives more in Europe.

1675
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 2: It does.

1676
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 5: Like you know, when I have shows in Europe, they

1677
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:42,600
Speaker 5: had they are six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's like,

1678
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,679
Speaker 5: why are you there? The club doesn't open till nine,

1679
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 5: but they want to smell me walk in. They want

1680
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 5: to see me write YOURFEETI they think I'm want to

1681
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 5: write graffiti.

1682
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 2: Because the novelty he does he actually mean they have

1683
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 2: to out.

1684
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, they got my break dad suit on right now.

1685
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 2: They think like it really lives there. I'm talking about

1686
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 2: like the standards themselves to live history.

1687
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 5: The essence of hip hop still lives in those five

1688
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 5: elements elements of the said to y'all, this is how

1689
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,080
Speaker 5: I feel. And I heard you say that earlier, when

1690
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 5: you were saying, like y'all just did that? Is that

1691
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:16,000
Speaker 5: how y'all feel too.

01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, that's the first thing I was taught.

1693
01:29:18,439 --> 01:29:19,000

Speaker 2: America, the whole world, with the whole outside of.

1698
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,040

1699
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 5: six years and the pure on fire shots to the

1700
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 5: ones that's done long longer than that.

1701
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,400

Speaker 5: If you've got great new records, fine for they want

1704
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:47,599
Speaker 5: to hear the classics. And that's not only for all

1705
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 5: hip hop, that's for R and B, that's for anybody.

1706
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 2: Like if they're into the elements out there.

1707
01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 5: This motherfucker passport was stick.

1708
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 2: He was like ship, I wouldn't even know. He was like,

1709
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:09,880
Speaker 2: I'll do a show every night.

1710
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:15,240
Speaker 7: One night, one night, he's a promoter, one night, he's

1711
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 7: the cameraman, one night, one night, he's your hype man.

1712
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 2: Like ja rue he lives. Yeah, we saw a Barcelona

1713
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 2: that question. Let me see. I don't think I wouldn't.

1714
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 7: I'm kind of caught between and living over there because

1715
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,559
Speaker 7: I think, you know, being over here in the States,

1716
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:43,240
Speaker 7: you get spoiled. You have so much successibility to a Norri,

1717
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 7: a Knife, a Smith and West n FN. But over

1718
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 7: there you only see that person or your group who

1719
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 7: you want to see when the promoters is booking them.

1720
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:56,160
Speaker 7: So it's dope to be over there. But at the

1721
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:58,559
Speaker 7: same time, if they don't respect what it is, then

1722
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 7: they're not going to come out like that. But I

1723
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 7: think being in your hometown is where you receive the

1724
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 7: most love of anything.

1725
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 5: But you know, like like like one of her favorite

1726
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 5: clubs for me in New York City, that's holding it

1727
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 5: down still as Webster Hall and like s O B right,

1728
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:20,639
Speaker 5: But what I realized is a Webster Hall s OBS

1729
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:26,720
Speaker 5: if you like, I can't allow you the last ten

1730
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:30,760
Speaker 5: events I've been to and SOBS big them up. That

1731
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 5: is where real hip hop is still, definitely, and then

1732
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:38,680
Speaker 5: Webster Hall West Halls doing a great job or at

1733
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 5: least hip hop events.

1734
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:41,639
Speaker 2: I don't want to say the Hammerstein Boardroom.

1735
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 8: A lot of we lived at a time when it

1736
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 8: was a lot of different clubs to go to, So

1737
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:53,559
Speaker 8: that's a that's a great point that you pointed out

1738
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:57,040
Speaker 8: as far as in Europe because you know, just to

1739
01:31:57,160 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 8: keep it a honey, like I think that. I don't

1740
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 8: know about you, but for me, I might have been

1741
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 8: like reluctant to even say that. But that might be

1742
01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 8: a true fact that over there it lives there.

1743
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 3: You know.

1744
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 2: It's like that makes sense.

1745
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:12,800
Speaker 8: Because if you think about hip hop as the stone, right,

1746
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 8: and you throw the stone in the river and it

1747
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:18,240
Speaker 8: causes the ripple and it just continues to affect them.

1748
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:21,720
Speaker 8: But we never thought about that initially obviously, right, we

1749
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 8: just want to do our thing. But then when we

1750
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 8: go over there and we see the ripple effect that

1751
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 8: we have caused, we're like, wow, this is incredible, and.

1752
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 2: We take things for granted here because it's closed.

1753
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 3: I was in Vietnam. They were telling me be like,

1754
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:36,600
Speaker 3: there's a lot of dancing. You know, the breakdancing is

1755
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 3: big in Asia. So these dancers were telling us about

1756
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:44,360
Speaker 3: some pioneer pop locker from this I never heard of

1757
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 3: this person, but they showed me videos that proved that.

1758
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:49,960
Speaker 2: This guy is a pioneer. He's like, this is the

1759
01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 2: guy that we've been following for fifty years, and I'm like, God,

1760
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 2: it's just illhouse.

1761
01:32:56,120 --> 01:33:00,160
Speaker 3: Because they just from a distance, they appreciate everything more.

1762
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:01,160
Speaker 2: We're just too close to it.

1763
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:05,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, well it makes sense, man, because it's like it's great,

1764
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:08,360
Speaker 8: you know, it's like we're doing it at such a rate,

1765
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:11,639
Speaker 8: like our intentions have changed at some points, like we're

1766
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 8: doing it to to now pay the rent money and

1767
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:16,160
Speaker 8: to do these things, and they still doing it.

1768
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:20,160
Speaker 3: Just to listen, just to what you're saying. I went

1769
01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 3: to Haiti and we met up with this artist. They

1770
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:26,559
Speaker 3: consider them like the Tupac of Haiti, right, and when

1771
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:28,599
Speaker 3: I went, I don't know, now, what's this has gotten

1772
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,560
Speaker 3: really bad out there right now. But and this is

1773
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 3: happening in every country I've gone to. I've gone to

1774
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:37,479
Speaker 3: a bunch of countries and he told me, you guys

1775
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 3: don't do hip hop in the United States.

1776
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:40,200
Speaker 2: You guys do business.

1777
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 3: And that's something consistently been told to me in Peru,

1778
01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 3: in Cuba, Haiti, Vietnam, Columbia, South Africa. I've gone to

1779
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:53,880
Speaker 3: all as many concerts I can that it's not like

1780
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 3: it's one continent saying that. They're all saying it, yeah, yeah,

1781
01:33:57,560 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 3: hip hop, you guys do business. So basically they say,

1782
01:33:59,880 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 3: we left the art form where he has money. Yeah,

1783
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:06,600
Speaker 3: you know, in the in the eighties and nineties, we

1784
01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:08,840
Speaker 3: were we weren't making much money off of it.

1785
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:11,400
Speaker 2: Hip hop wasn't and he was killing it and it

1786
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 2: was all of you know, about the props and about whatever,

1787
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:15,120
Speaker 2: like whatever we wanted out of it, you know.

1788
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 7: But at that to be on the other side of that,

1789
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,840
Speaker 7: look how hip hop has evolved. If we wasn't doing business,

1790
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:28,160
Speaker 7: we wouldn't be able to have shows, like absolutely, we

1791
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:30,839
Speaker 7: wouldn't be able to open other doors to feed our family.

1792
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:33,519
Speaker 7: And hip hop has come so long that has opened

1793
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 7: multiple doors. You go into film from hip hop, you

1794
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 7: go into anything you you really want to do, Like

1795
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,759
Speaker 7: just even working with AfroB artists, it would be something

1796
01:34:44,840 --> 01:34:46,560
Speaker 7: like yo, if it's presented, then yeah, let's go.

1797
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:48,680
Speaker 3: These artists might not even be talking about hip hop

1798
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:51,479
Speaker 3: to debate it, right right. There wasn't a monetary on

1799
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:54,600
Speaker 3: this absolutely right yeah right.

1800
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 5: Hold, So we're gonna get back to the quick time

01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:55,520
Speaker 2: Let me ride with it. I mean, I can't talk video.

2163
01:57:55,600 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 2: Everybody sees your answer. Every time. I meant it's both.

2164
01:58:01,880 --> 01:58:09,480
Speaker 2: You can't have a lawyer means ahead, You're gonna bring

2165
01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:17,280
Speaker 2: it down professor style. I'll respect it God for me,

2166
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:21,520
Speaker 2: it's a loyalty. You got to be clear it with

2167
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:22,000
Speaker 2: this crew.

2168
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:27,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's loyalty, man, Because sometimes people earn respect in

2169
01:58:27,520 --> 01:58:33,560
Speaker 5: the wrong ways, and so loyalty is something totally different.

2170
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:37,080
Speaker 5: Loyal means family to me. Respect doesn't always mean family

2171
01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:41,960
Speaker 5: to me, But loyalty means family no matter what, remain

2172
01:58:42,080 --> 01:58:46,320
Speaker 5: loyal to family. Because respect can be looked at different

2173
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:48,520
Speaker 5: by different ways, different people. You can get people can

2174
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:50,960
Speaker 5: sometimes look at respects killing somebody, you know what I mean,

2175
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 5: whatever reason, respect could be a negative, it could be

2176
01:58:54,120 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 5: a negative thing. Loyalty is something totally different. It's it

2177
01:58:58,240 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 5: automatically says family me, so I loyalty.

2178
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:04,920
Speaker 8: See again, the game is rig you feel me because

2179
01:59:05,040 --> 01:59:07,560
Speaker 8: both of them is the same thing. Loyalty could be

2180
01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:10,200
Speaker 8: taken differently to right, this is a loyalty.

2181
01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:10,840
Speaker 2: Some people can.

2182
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:15,680
Speaker 8: Some people think they're loyal right now, but they's totally

2183
01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:18,040
Speaker 8: not you know what I mean. Think they respect for

2184
01:59:18,200 --> 01:59:20,240
Speaker 8: right now and they not. You know, text said the

2185
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 8: best way like that, that's that's true, and that never going.

2186
01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:25,680
Speaker 8: I think that's a study right there, that's not even

2187
01:59:25,720 --> 01:59:28,840
Speaker 8: a question. They go to break all kind of like, well,

2188
01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:30,840
Speaker 8: we brought the professor. We wanted him to help us

2189
01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:36,240
Speaker 8: study this tour, right right, right, right right for sure,

2190
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:40,600
Speaker 8: it's a balance, you know what I mean. It's like

2191
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:45,800
Speaker 8: there's no wrong answer. That's the right There no wrong answer.

2192
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:47,600
Speaker 8: It's going to lead you to the other one. Won't

2193
01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:49,480
Speaker 8: gonna lead you to the other one. What do you respect?

2194
01:59:49,560 --> 01:59:53,720
Speaker 8: You respect something like if you respect your family, like

2195
01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:56,440
Speaker 8: we we raised a certain way to respect our parents.

2196
01:59:57,080 --> 01:59:58,040
Speaker 9: You know, who isn't loyal?

2197
01:59:58,200 --> 01:59:58,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

2198
01:59:58,560 --> 02:00:00,480
Speaker 8: Maybe he was loyal to them because we was born

2199
02:00:00,840 --> 02:00:04,480
Speaker 8: from them, but respecting them and fearing them taught us

2200
02:00:04,520 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 8: something else. Sort us family values and then which we

2201
02:00:07,960 --> 02:00:11,400
Speaker 8: already took those family vious without even like like organically

2202
02:00:11,480 --> 02:00:13,480
Speaker 8: taking those family values. We took those to the streets.

2203
02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:16,320
Speaker 8: Where do we learn loyalty from? Like we got that

2204
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:19,800
Speaker 8: like our father did, our mother tell us we be loyal?

2205
02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:22,760
Speaker 2: Boy, this is your said like that.

2206
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:28,040
Speaker 8: It's never it's never implied. So we we navigated with eyes.

2207
02:00:28,680 --> 02:00:29,680
Speaker 9: That's definitely implied.

2208
02:00:29,960 --> 02:00:34,120
Speaker 3: It's like a silent thing that's automatic in family right right,

2209
02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:35,920
Speaker 3: But respect is told.

2210
02:00:35,800 --> 02:00:39,680
Speaker 2: When tribe and the streets, when you moving around you.

2211
02:00:40,680 --> 02:00:42,920
Speaker 3: I mean, we're sucking up this just saying something right now.

2212
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:45,480
Speaker 3: The true story is is that I put this on

2213
02:00:45,560 --> 02:00:46,400
Speaker 3: without knowing it.

2214
02:00:48,920 --> 02:00:53,600
Speaker 2: Just affinity. I'm saying, I put on the shirt without

2215
02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:57,560
Speaker 2: knowing his birthday, without.

2216
02:00:57,360 --> 02:00:59,520
Speaker 9: Knowing that I just got for a second, That's what

2217
02:00:59,560 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 9: I'm saying.

2218
02:01:00,120 --> 02:01:13,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, man, definitely Rice, you're run into So

2219
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:15,080
Speaker 7: I gotta go to the bathroom.

2220
02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:18,720
Speaker 2: Brother. So if it's he said no more like doors.

2221
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:24,120
Speaker 2: If there's anything you can do over right.

2222
02:01:26,440 --> 02:01:31,120
Speaker 5: Over the whole group, whole industry, everything, there's one thing

2223
02:01:31,160 --> 02:01:32,360
Speaker 5: you could do over what would you do?

2224
02:01:35,040 --> 02:01:37,400
Speaker 7: It's one thing I do over as far as the industry,

2225
02:01:37,440 --> 02:01:39,800
Speaker 7: I think it would be to learn the business better,

2226
02:01:40,440 --> 02:01:44,240
Speaker 7: to learn the inside of the outside, learning able to

2227
02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:50,040
Speaker 7: be able to read and understand contracts, because that's where

2228
02:01:50,080 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 7: a lot get lost in the finer lines of contracts.

2229
02:01:54,960 --> 02:01:56,680
Speaker 7: And that's what we got to take him to a

2230
02:01:56,760 --> 02:01:57,720
Speaker 7: tourney to be like, Yo, what what?

2231
02:01:57,960 --> 02:01:59,960
Speaker 2: What? What that mean? Right there? What he said?

2232
02:02:00,640 --> 02:02:03,560
Speaker 7: I think if I would be able to do anything,

2233
02:02:03,600 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 7: that would be able to that would definitely be it

2234
02:02:06,320 --> 02:02:10,040
Speaker 7: to be able to understand the business more and to

2235
02:02:10,120 --> 02:02:12,920
Speaker 7: apply it more to where we.

2236
02:02:12,960 --> 02:02:18,160
Speaker 2: Could open more doors for those Nothing. Nothing.

2237
02:02:20,360 --> 02:02:24,120
Speaker 5: And the reason why I say nothing is because the

2238
02:02:24,240 --> 02:02:27,120
Speaker 5: decisions I made, the mistakes I made, led me here.

2239
02:02:28,120 --> 02:02:32,200
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be sitting here with you and you if

2240
02:02:32,280 --> 02:02:35,160
Speaker 5: I didn't make this turn and make this turn, and

2241
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:38,400
Speaker 5: make this turn and make this turn. So I am

2242
02:02:38,720 --> 02:02:42,000
Speaker 5: wrong or right, I ended up here, and so I

2243
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:44,320
Speaker 5: wouldn't change the thing. If I, if I, if I'd

2244
02:02:44,360 --> 02:02:45,960
Speaker 5: have did something the right way, then I would have

2245
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:48,440
Speaker 5: been able to work with these guys. Maybe someone had

2246
02:02:48,520 --> 02:02:50,160
Speaker 5: led me this way and then I went and crossed

2247
02:02:50,160 --> 02:02:53,200
Speaker 5: their path. But something to me to go to school,

2248
02:02:53,320 --> 02:02:57,280
Speaker 5: drop out of school, find somebody with a computer, learn

2249
02:02:57,360 --> 02:02:59,280
Speaker 5: fru to lose do this, do that that I to

2250
02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:02,960
Speaker 5: leave me then I have a twenty relationship for us

2251
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:04,720
Speaker 5: to do two albums to leave me here.

2252
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 2: So nothing Wow, the fast topic, right, how about you?

2253
02:03:16,600 --> 02:03:19,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, I wish I had answer that other question better

2254
02:03:20,040 --> 02:03:25,320
Speaker 8: that Queen la teeth language. But I know that's gonna be.

2255
02:03:25,480 --> 02:03:27,200
Speaker 8: I know they're gonna know that the trolls going, they're

2256
02:03:27,200 --> 02:03:29,680
Speaker 8: gonna let edit until you kept talking about it.

2257
02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:32,480
Speaker 2: No, no, let that breed, let that bree man whatever,

2258
02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:33,080
Speaker 2: do what you do.

2259
02:03:33,720 --> 02:03:37,960
Speaker 8: But I think that you know, like for me, I'm

2260
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:42,000
Speaker 8: just just to take responsibility like it's so much because

2261
02:03:42,320 --> 02:03:46,040
Speaker 8: I'm a person who even though I have patience, I'm impatient,

2262
02:03:46,560 --> 02:03:48,080
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, And I and I and

2263
02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:50,680
Speaker 8: I answer fast and I be ready to go fast,

2264
02:03:50,760 --> 02:03:52,560
Speaker 8: and I'm always ready to go, and I'm always ready

2265
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:54,320
Speaker 8: to go. So sometime I don't get a chance to

2266
02:03:54,360 --> 02:03:58,400
Speaker 8: do things like relax, celebrate, rest, reboot, and I might

2267
02:03:58,480 --> 02:04:00,200
Speaker 8: miss a lot, even though I get a lot of cover,

2268
02:04:00,280 --> 02:04:02,240
Speaker 8: a lot of land, but I miss a lot. So

2269
02:04:02,360 --> 02:04:05,680
Speaker 8: it's like, all right, I wish I could slow down

2270
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:09,160
Speaker 8: a bit, see things a little bit from a from

2271
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:12,000
Speaker 8: a perspective, even from the success and failures, the strength

2272
02:04:12,040 --> 02:04:15,120
Speaker 8: because sometimes you harp on the failures, you know, and

2273
02:04:15,360 --> 02:04:17,280
Speaker 8: and and then you miss out the successes.

2274
02:04:17,400 --> 02:04:20,280
Speaker 9: Sometimes you see the successes, you'll be blinded by the light.

2275
02:04:20,560 --> 02:04:22,800
Speaker 8: It's like the final balance, just to slow down a

2276
02:04:22,880 --> 02:04:26,680
Speaker 8: bit and go all right, wow and look at everything,

2277
02:04:26,720 --> 02:04:29,240
Speaker 8: because when like, right now, we have the capability to

2278
02:04:29,320 --> 02:04:32,480
Speaker 8: do that now in hindsight, with with with looking at

2279
02:04:32,520 --> 02:04:35,480
Speaker 8: the album and seeing how people enjoy Infinity and it's like.

2280
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:36,440
Speaker 9: That feels good.

2281
02:04:36,640 --> 02:04:38,000
Speaker 2: But it took your growth to understand.

2282
02:04:38,120 --> 02:04:39,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, because before that we was like, yo, let's

2283
02:04:39,840 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 8: do another album.

2284
02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:41,160
Speaker 9: Let's do another album.

2285
02:04:41,280 --> 02:04:42,280
Speaker 2: We got to go on the road, we got to

2286
02:04:42,320 --> 02:04:42,960
Speaker 2: go on tour.

2287
02:04:42,840 --> 02:04:44,600
Speaker 9: Like we like, like you say, a business.

2288
02:04:44,640 --> 02:04:45,160
Speaker 2: So that hits.

2289
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:48,480
Speaker 9: But when you in the mix like that, it's like

2290
02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:49,000
Speaker 9: you can't.

2291
02:04:49,760 --> 02:04:52,840
Speaker 8: You know, it's hard to feel it because you're there

2292
02:04:53,240 --> 02:04:56,840
Speaker 8: enjoy it and it's like fucking enjoying it, Like you can't.

2293
02:04:57,240 --> 02:05:00,240
Speaker 8: You feel guilty almost like you can't blame your out,

2294
02:05:00,280 --> 02:05:00,760
Speaker 8: but you can.

2295
02:05:03,200 --> 02:05:04,840
Speaker 2: That's that vibe right there.

2296
02:05:04,920 --> 02:05:07,120
Speaker 9: So it's like, man, you you can. And then you

2297
02:05:07,240 --> 02:05:08,880
Speaker 9: start watching what's given to us.

2298
02:05:08,880 --> 02:05:11,680
Speaker 8: So you're talking about rapid refund or like instat gratification,

2299
02:05:11,920 --> 02:05:15,360
Speaker 8: Like you can't blame that people, you know, in a

2300
02:05:15,360 --> 02:05:17,880
Speaker 8: place where we're still struggling, and then you're seeing people

2301
02:05:17,960 --> 02:05:20,560
Speaker 8: eating and you seeing like, wow, look like over there,

2302
02:05:21,160 --> 02:05:25,040
Speaker 8: dudes is getting it and dudes are getting it, you know,

2303
02:05:25,200 --> 02:05:27,280
Speaker 8: but you got to talk about how dudes are getting it.

2304
02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:29,280
Speaker 8: Dudes are getting it in the capacity where they're putting

2305
02:05:29,320 --> 02:05:31,960
Speaker 8: that work in what does that work? Well, here is

2306
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:33,720
Speaker 8: the forum where we talk about what that is. If

2307
02:05:33,760 --> 02:05:36,200
Speaker 8: you slow down a little bit, you know what I mean,

2308
02:05:36,400 --> 02:05:40,440
Speaker 8: like you see it, you see the picture a little

2309
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:43,120
Speaker 8: bit differently, I think you know. Me and Tech jumped

2310
02:05:43,120 --> 02:05:43,480
Speaker 8: in the game.

2311
02:05:43,560 --> 02:05:44,200
Speaker 2: We was hungry.

2312
02:05:45,080 --> 02:05:46,760
Speaker 8: He was like, yeah, we're hungry. We knew the we

2313
02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:49,560

Speaker 3: Hold on, I want to go back to the album. Guys, please,

2472
02:14:58,880 --> 02:15:00,480
Speaker 3: This is one thing that I really love about them

2473
02:15:00,520 --> 02:15:02,680
Speaker 3: that DN expect. I would like how y'all went to

2474
02:15:02,800 --> 02:15:06,520
Speaker 3: the R and B and soulful part. Yeah, that reminded

2475
02:15:06,560 --> 02:15:09,040
Speaker 3: me of what I loved as a DJ of hip

2476
02:15:09,080 --> 02:15:11,480
Speaker 3: hop R and B. Yeah, when you guys did the

2477
02:15:11,520 --> 02:15:14,240
Speaker 3: Joy with Mary J. Blid Yeah, Yeah, it's like you

2478
02:15:14,400 --> 02:15:17,280
Speaker 3: encapsulated that and put it in this album.

2479
02:15:17,560 --> 02:15:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, where did that come from? I mean from a

2480
02:15:20,960 --> 02:15:24,000
Speaker 2: production standpoint, I think.

2481
02:15:25,960 --> 02:15:29,000
Speaker 5: For a long time, and I can be wrong, but

2482
02:15:29,120 --> 02:15:33,400
Speaker 5: I think for a long time, women has been they've

2483
02:15:33,480 --> 02:15:37,800
Speaker 5: been REMOVINGM hip hop because they stopped liking the way

2484
02:15:37,840 --> 02:15:42,120
Speaker 5: it felt right. And so the thing about the nineties,

2485
02:15:42,440 --> 02:15:45,600
Speaker 5: what made the nineties and nineties is we were sampling

2486
02:15:45,680 --> 02:15:49,160
Speaker 5: the old seventies feel good records.

2487
02:15:49,240 --> 02:15:50,600
Speaker 2: Right, and.

2488
02:15:52,560 --> 02:15:56,000
Speaker 5: That's what the vibes from that records, that's what made

2489
02:15:56,280 --> 02:16:00,720
Speaker 5: women love those records exactly and kind of got away

2490
02:16:00,720 --> 02:16:03,120
Speaker 5: from that, even if it was a Street record, It's

2491
02:16:03,120 --> 02:16:05,760
Speaker 5: still had that vibe in it, So how can we

2492
02:16:05,880 --> 02:16:08,680
Speaker 5: get keep them in street as they can like with

2493
02:16:08,800 --> 02:16:13,920
Speaker 5: the Shine record and the joint my Man Sweater on it. Yeah,

2494
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:21,560
Speaker 5: it's like, how right, how can we keep that feeling

2495
02:16:21,840 --> 02:16:23,480
Speaker 5: and still have some knock behind it?

2496
02:16:24,360 --> 02:16:25,640
Speaker 2: And that's that's what it was.

2497
02:16:25,720 --> 02:16:27,600
Speaker 5: So that's when I approached I'm thinking of the marriag

2498
02:16:27,640 --> 02:16:31,680
Speaker 5: j Blige the whole time because how street that was,

2499
02:16:31,800 --> 02:16:35,320
Speaker 5: how street that was, but also how sexy that was

2500
02:16:38,920 --> 02:16:42,200
Speaker 5: at the time, and sometimes hip hop now doesn't have

2501
02:16:42,320 --> 02:16:45,400
Speaker 5: that duality to it. And so for me, I'm thinking, yeah,

2502
02:16:45,440 --> 02:16:48,160
Speaker 5: we know, you gotta have that feel good type but

2503
02:16:48,280 --> 02:16:50,600
Speaker 5: still got some knock to it. And so that's where

2504
02:16:50,600 --> 02:16:53,760
Speaker 5: it shine and no mistake came in. So let me

2505
02:16:53,840 --> 02:16:55,840
Speaker 5: ask y'all because I mean, this is a room where

2506
02:16:55,879 --> 02:16:58,720
Speaker 5: he keeps hearing it. Did y'all actually make that marriag

2507
02:16:58,760 --> 02:17:02,960
Speaker 5: Jli record? Justcause in the party by mistake? And he

2508
02:17:03,120 --> 02:17:04,840
Speaker 5: was like, I'm talking about this before. I know we

2509
02:17:04,920 --> 02:17:06,360
Speaker 5: said that, but I want to reiterate that.

2510
02:17:06,440 --> 02:17:09,200

Speaker 5: Saw that was at y'all release party and I wasn't there.

2623
02:22:30,560 --> 02:22:34,240
Speaker 5: I was not, but every single body on Instagram and

2624
02:22:34,320 --> 02:22:35,160
Speaker 5: I felt like I.

2625
02:22:35,320 --> 02:22:38,600
Speaker 2: Was there and that's yeah.

2627
02:22:44,040 --> 02:22:47,120
Speaker 8: Like sometimes you'll be charging people for reposting, like we're

2628
02:22:47,200 --> 02:22:47,880
Speaker 8: not even doing that.

2629
02:22:48,200 --> 02:22:50,600
Speaker 9: Like if you love something, you feel something, spread the gospel.

2630
02:22:52,200 --> 02:22:59,720
Speaker 2: While we don't don't spread infinity over here. It's go.

2631
02:23:00,600 --> 02:23:00,879
Speaker 3: This is.

2632
02:23:04,160 --> 02:23:07,000
Speaker 5: One thing that me and him shared, like we're the

2633
02:23:07,080 --> 02:23:09,640
Speaker 5: same and different people, but we share that hip hop

2634
02:23:10,400 --> 02:23:12,080
Speaker 5: we have to even talk about this.

2635
02:23:12,280 --> 02:23:15,200
Speaker 3: I was like, I got a time of slim for y'all.

2636
02:23:15,240 --> 02:23:22,400
Speaker 3: That's alright, shining. I'm always gonna say the first, the

2637
02:23:22,480 --> 02:23:25,039
Speaker 3: shine is gonna be. I'm just gonna say, you can't

2638
02:23:25,080 --> 02:23:26,519
Speaker 3: get here without the first.

2639
02:23:26,600 --> 02:23:31,480
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, politically correct. I want to be different.

2640
02:23:31,920 --> 02:23:35,600
Speaker 5: Reason why I'm gonna say infinity is because this is

2641
02:23:35,760 --> 02:23:38,760
Speaker 5: making me so hyped right now, Like this ship is

2642
02:23:38,840 --> 02:23:40,760
Speaker 5: making me like, I haven't really.

2643
02:23:40,600 --> 02:23:42,480
Speaker 2: Said I want to really get back in the studio

2644
02:23:42,959 --> 02:23:44,200
Speaker 2: until I just really like that.

2645
02:23:44,560 --> 02:23:46,200
Speaker 5: I heard that, like and I was like, you know

2646
02:23:46,280 --> 02:23:53,279
Speaker 5: what y'all inspired me? That might be me being selfish.

2647
02:23:53,600 --> 02:23:55,000
Speaker 2: Now is different.

2648
02:23:55,080 --> 02:23:59,720
Speaker 3: I'm telling your fans or non fans, go to the catalog,

2649
02:24:00,680 --> 02:24:03,800
Speaker 3: listen to how we got here, why we are here,

2650
02:24:04,879 --> 02:24:07,840
Speaker 3: and see how dope this is. These are artists that

2651
02:24:07,920 --> 02:24:11,600
Speaker 3: have been They stand the test of time. Another conversation

2652
02:24:11,800 --> 02:24:12,480
Speaker 3: we just had.

2653
02:24:12,680 --> 02:24:12,800
Speaker 2: Right.

2654
02:24:13,520 --> 02:24:16,480
Speaker 7: Sometimes the fans don't want to go back to that catalog.

2655
02:24:16,600 --> 02:24:18,879
Speaker 7: They want what they hear now and be like, yo,

2656
02:24:18,959 --> 02:24:20,280
Speaker 7: where am I going next?

2657
02:24:21,120 --> 02:24:23,920

2660
02:24:28,920 --> 02:24:31,520
Speaker 2: find this? But there's a different album.

2661
02:24:31,520 --> 02:24:33,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you why there's a different album, because

2662
02:24:33,640 --> 02:24:36,680
Speaker 3: usually you hear artists that you follow since the nineties,

2663
02:24:36,760 --> 02:24:40,520

02:25:00,360 --> 02:25:02,840
Speaker 3: I listen to it, I was like they got it.

2669
02:25:04,440 --> 02:25:06,720
Speaker 3: This is like it is nineties now, like I don't

02:25:23,480 --> 02:25:27,440
Speaker 8: his home man, because it's like, you know, the energy

2676
02:25:27,560 --> 02:25:31,600
Speaker 8: that that we had experienced their recording, I believe it

2677
02:25:31,720 --> 02:25:34,000
Speaker 8: might have been a healing energy for both of us.

2678
02:25:34,520 --> 02:25:36,960
Speaker 8: And living in New York amongst that hustle and bustle,

2679
02:25:37,000 --> 02:25:39,240
Speaker 8: you might not be aware that you need that, you

2680
02:25:39,280 --> 02:25:42,600
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying, especially yeah, everybody now, like right

02:25:42,680 --> 02:25:46,400
Speaker 8: now we're upfront with with with with with mental illness PTSD,

2682
02:25:46,560 --> 02:25:46,920
Speaker 8: and all that.

2683
02:25:47,520 --> 02:25:49,840
Speaker 9: Who don't have that living in New York City, you

2684
02:25:49,920 --> 02:25:50,320
Speaker 9: know what I mean.

2685
02:25:50,680 --> 02:25:52,560
Speaker 8: So we so that's when you talk about the music

2686
02:25:52,640 --> 02:25:54,959
Speaker 8: and being being able to watch it from that perspective.

2687
02:25:55,240 --> 02:25:57,920
Speaker 9: So for us to go to that perspective.

2688
02:25:57,959 --> 02:25:59,160
Speaker 8: And as soon as we get in the car he

2689
02:25:59,240 --> 02:26:01,080
Speaker 8: picked us up from the airport, he like, we're talking

2690
02:26:01,080 --> 02:26:03,080
Speaker 8: about the Shannon you know what I mean. We're talking

2691
02:26:03,120 --> 02:26:05,880
Speaker 8: about the foundation. He on the phone with Evil Deed,

2692
02:26:05,959 --> 02:26:08,240
Speaker 8: mister Wall. We're talking about you know, Pete Rock and

2693
02:26:08,280 --> 02:26:09,920
Speaker 8: all that. Of course we're talking about all the things

2694
02:26:09,959 --> 02:26:12,160
Speaker 8: that we've done, but yeah, we want to upgrade that

2695
02:26:12,879 --> 02:26:16,640
Speaker 8: and who you are now without compromise and just being transparent.

2696
02:26:17,080 --> 02:26:19,480
Speaker 8: So he gave us that platform to do that and

2697
02:26:20,080 --> 02:26:21,920
Speaker 8: and guided us even further.

2698
02:26:21,800 --> 02:26:23,320
Speaker 2: Like I want to hear this. I want to hear

2699
02:26:23,440 --> 02:26:24,920
Speaker 2: you come like that, like we want to.

2700
02:26:25,879 --> 02:26:28,840
Speaker 8: Like some artists that you just into yourself so much

2701
02:26:28,920 --> 02:26:31,320
Speaker 8: you can't take criticism or you can't take input, like

2702
02:26:32,080 --> 02:26:34,600
Speaker 8: we built together. He gave us guidance like this is

2703
02:26:34,680 --> 02:26:37,680
Speaker 8: a real heartfelt project that we worked on.

2704
02:26:38,959 --> 02:26:41,640
Speaker 2: So it's what were there times you guys bumped tests

2705
02:26:42,560 --> 02:26:44,400
Speaker 2: just off the one record? He want to do here

2706
02:26:46,040 --> 02:26:48,200
Speaker 2: he was like, nah, I don't want to say I

2707
02:26:48,240 --> 02:26:48,960
Speaker 2: don't want to say that.

2708
02:26:49,000 --> 02:26:50,760
Speaker 5: Bah all blah, and it was me me and him

2709
02:26:50,840 --> 02:26:52,720
Speaker 5: was like nah, it's crazy, Like man, nah, I'm not

2710
02:26:52,879 --> 02:26:53,960
Speaker 5: saying that, I'm not doing it.

2711
02:26:54,520 --> 02:26:57,240
Speaker 2: And the beat was dope. It was just but not often.

2712
02:26:57,360 --> 02:26:57,520
Speaker 3: Man.

2713
02:26:57,640 --> 02:27:02,640
Speaker 5: They they trusted me, just like Buckshall trusted me, just

2714
02:27:02,760 --> 02:27:05,040
Speaker 5: like Sean Price Rest in Peace trusted me, you know

2715
02:27:05,080 --> 02:27:07,600
Speaker 5: what I mean to do my job.

2716
02:27:08,160 --> 02:27:10,240
Speaker 2: And so that's that's what it was.

2717
02:27:10,640 --> 02:27:15,119
Speaker 5: And for this album, I'm thinking, okay, I'm always thinking, okay,

2718
02:27:15,200 --> 02:27:17,119
Speaker 5: we did the All we got to beat the All

2719
02:27:17,400 --> 02:27:19,760
Speaker 5: And for for a long time I was telling them like, no, nah,

2720
02:27:20,080 --> 02:27:21,880
Speaker 5: we use five songs and I said this is better

2721
02:27:21,920 --> 02:27:22,200
Speaker 5: than all.

2722
02:27:22,240 --> 02:27:24,480
Speaker 2: They were like you think. I'm like, yeah, I'm telling

2723
02:27:24,520 --> 02:27:28,840
Speaker 2: you it's better than the all Man and so allow

2724
02:27:28,959 --> 02:27:31,080
Speaker 2: five of those songs when you were saying, not even

2728
02:27:38,040 --> 02:27:43,039
Speaker 5: it for whatever reason. But I'm again, I look at

2729
02:27:43,080 --> 02:27:45,720
Speaker 5: it from two sides. Yeah, I executive produced it. Yeah,

2730
02:27:45,800 --> 02:27:48,240
Speaker 5: I got my soul console brothers together. Shouts to them

2731
02:27:48,879 --> 02:27:51,560
Speaker 5: and I'm a fan. I put all that away when

2735
02:27:58,720 --> 02:28:01,520
Speaker 5: I like it, And some people can't look at things

2736
02:28:01,560 --> 02:28:02,480
Speaker 5: from both sides like that.

2737
02:28:03,680 --> 02:28:05,959
Speaker 2: Well, I hope this makes gets a Grammy nod.

2753
02:28:59,400 --> 02:29:02,520

2754
02:29:02,520 --> 02:29:04,280
Speaker 5: about to say, popping that CD. But they hit that

Speaker 2: bought you know, and you know.

2774
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:10,560
Speaker 5: It used to be a time where hip hop was

2775
02:30:10,680 --> 02:30:15,920
Speaker 5: judged by the album of the summer. That was the

2776
02:30:16,000 --> 02:30:20,160
Speaker 5: album of the summer when it dropped, and as far

2777
02:30:20,200 --> 02:30:22,680
Speaker 5: as solo albums and hip hop just from a solo

2778
02:30:22,840 --> 02:30:26,440
Speaker 5: artist by itself, from leaving the group doing it by himself,

2779
02:30:27,360 --> 02:30:39,800
Speaker 5: knowing the greatest albums of all time from TVV because

2780
02:30:40,120 --> 02:30:42,160
Speaker 5: Swiss that beat is not done.

2781

2791
02:31:15,600 --> 02:31:16,760
Speaker 5: ship is just remarkable.

2792
02:31:16,840 --> 02:31:20,920
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like this. This is not normal.

2793
02:31:21,560 --> 02:31:25,200
Speaker 5: It's not just being honest. Think it's just on rap steroids.

2794
02:31:25,280 --> 02:31:27,680
Speaker 5: I don't know what time y'all.

2795
02:31:27,480 --> 02:31:29,320

02:31:40,320 --> 02:31:41,199
Speaker 9: This might sound.

2797
02:31:41,280 --> 02:31:44,039
Speaker 8: This might sound like like like a political picture or something,

2798
02:31:44,080 --> 02:31:47,199
Speaker 8: but like you know, like we're talking about hope, things

2799
02:31:47,280 --> 02:31:49,720
Speaker 8: like hope, you know what I mean, Like simple things

2800
02:31:49,879 --> 02:31:52,280
Speaker 8: like hope and faith, you know what I mean. People

2801
02:31:52,360 --> 02:31:54,280
Speaker 8: get scared of words like that. They think you gotta

2802
02:31:54,600 --> 02:31:57,040

Speaker 2: You can do that.

2806
02:31:59,760 --> 02:32:02,920
Speaker 8: It's all about discipline in yourself. Like, we love this

2807
02:32:03,120 --> 02:32:06,480
Speaker 8: thing so much that we almost ruin it. But like

2808
02:32:07,160 --> 02:32:08,840
Speaker 8: some things, we got to be proud of that. We

2809
02:32:08,959 --> 02:32:11,920
Speaker 8: did survive some things, right, we survived some things and

2810
02:32:12,040 --> 02:32:14,560
Speaker 8: we lost some really good people, you know what I mean.

2811
02:32:14,640 --> 02:32:17,400
Speaker 8: So it's like yo, last time, Like yo, last time

2814
02:32:21,560 --> 02:32:25,680
Speaker 8: I'm saying. It was like, Yo, we gotta go. And

2815
02:32:25,760 --> 02:32:28,000
Speaker 8: then y'all kept it a buck. When we had something,

2816
02:32:28,040 --> 02:32:32,400
Speaker 8: you invited us back, Like that's what that. Let's celebrate that.

2817
02:32:36,800 --> 02:32:37,320
Speaker 2: By the way.

2818
02:32:38,480 --> 02:32:43,840

Speaker 2: Don't wash up. We're gonna take that worry out of

2828
02:33:18,959 --> 02:33:28,040
Speaker 2: our community can't do that ship. You know, I want to.

2829
02:33:28,040 --> 02:33:29,560
Speaker 2: I want to. I want to, I want to sell.

02:33:38,920 --> 02:33:42,440
Speaker 2: You my brother, thank you. It's inspiring to see hip hop.

2835
02:33:46,120 --> 02:33:50,200
Speaker 8: Watching because because we watched we we we watched the

2836
02:33:50,320 --> 02:33:53,560
Speaker 8: crack that destroy a lot of people. Like we like

2837
02:33:53,680 --> 02:33:56,320
Speaker 8: what we want to see that keep living. Rap supposed

2838
02:33:56,360 --> 02:33:58,160
Speaker 8: to be about the crack error or which is now

2839
02:33:58,320 --> 02:34:00,400
Speaker 8: the fitting on error. Whatever gaves me you want to

2840
02:34:00,440 --> 02:34:02,680
Speaker 8: rap about these type of things, like we want to

2841
02:34:02,760 --> 02:34:03,440
Speaker 8: do other stuff.

2842
02:34:03,920 --> 02:34:04,920
Speaker 2: People do other stuff.

2843
02:34:04,959 --> 02:34:06,920
Speaker 8: We have like to listen to stuff, but they have

2844
02:34:07,240 --> 02:34:09,640
Speaker 8: we have sectionalized it where it's like, yo, well I

2845
02:34:09,680 --> 02:34:11,680
Speaker 8: don't listen to rap because rap only does this.

2846
02:34:12,240 --> 02:34:15,480
Speaker 9: Like that's not true, Like it does different things. It's different.

2847
02:34:15,720 --> 02:34:17,720
Speaker 8: It's different elements of this thing, just like it's different

2848
02:34:17,760 --> 02:34:20,600
Speaker 8: elements of different type of music. Like so now we

2849
02:34:20,720 --> 02:34:22,800
Speaker 8: get to see some of the guys who used to

2850
02:34:22,879 --> 02:34:25,720
Speaker 8: go uh do some of the craziest wildless ship in

2851
02:34:25,760 --> 02:34:28,280
Speaker 8: front of us go like that. Now they talking about

2852
02:34:28,280 --> 02:34:30,200
Speaker 8: mental wellness and all that, Like the last time I

2853
02:34:30,280 --> 02:34:33,080
Speaker 8: was on drink Champs, I was drinking, right, I'm sober.

2854
02:34:33,200 --> 02:34:40,080
Speaker 2: I was just about yeah.

2855
02:34:40,240 --> 02:34:40,440
Speaker 10: Yeah.

2856
02:34:40,600 --> 02:34:43,680
Speaker 9: Now we we seeing guys die in front of us.

2857
02:34:43,760 --> 02:34:45,640
Speaker 8: We watched them live, we've seen them die, and we

2858
02:34:45,680 --> 02:34:50,160
Speaker 8: can say it's attributed to to this, this profession, whatever

2859
02:34:50,280 --> 02:34:52,600
Speaker 8: it is, whether it stress you to death, you know

2860
02:34:52,640 --> 02:34:54,760
Speaker 8: what I'm saying, which looks like like me personally, I

2861
02:34:54,840 --> 02:34:57,640
Speaker 8: feel like Sean Price gave his life for hip hop.

2862
02:34:58,120 --> 02:34:59,640
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying. He died for this man

2863
02:34:59,720 --> 02:35:02,360
Speaker 8: fact man school, died doing what he does. God, you

2864
02:35:02,400 --> 02:35:02,880
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying.

2865
02:35:03,200 --> 02:35:04,360
Speaker 9: God, he died doing what he do.

2866
02:35:04,440 --> 02:35:04,800
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

2867
02:35:04,959 --> 02:35:07,400
Speaker 8: A lot of these guys was really pushing that issue.

2868
02:35:07,440 --> 02:35:10,080
Speaker 8: So we got to go that's important and don't die

2869
02:35:10,440 --> 02:35:12,280
Speaker 8: for the cloud though, Like what is that part?

2870
02:35:12,480 --> 02:35:12,520
Speaker 2: Like?

2871
02:35:12,680 --> 02:35:13,160
Speaker 9: You know what I mean?

2872
02:35:13,280 --> 02:35:15,520
Speaker 8: Like we we we remember them for what they did,

2873
02:35:16,280 --> 02:35:18,320
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. We were set like we

2874
02:35:18,520 --> 02:35:20,280
Speaker 8: love Nipsey for what he did, what he tried to

2875
02:35:20,320 --> 02:35:22,720
Speaker 8: do for his community. So we want to give something

2876
02:35:22,840 --> 02:35:23,920
Speaker 8: back to this thing right here.

2877
02:35:23,959 --> 02:35:25,400
Speaker 2: You know, don't die for the culture.

2878
02:35:25,840 --> 02:35:30,200
Speaker 8: It's a relationship where we can give something to you

2879
02:35:30,280 --> 02:35:32,840
Speaker 8: when you give something back not just buying our record.

2880
02:35:32,920 --> 02:35:35,040
Speaker 9: Man, we we this is a love relationship right here.

2881
02:35:35,120 --> 02:35:38,280
Speaker 5: So but that's the funny part about kind of like

2882
02:35:38,760 --> 02:35:41,200
Speaker 5: all of our relationship is.

2883
02:35:43,680 --> 02:35:46,840
Speaker 2: Maybe I met y'all through there, I met y'all through there.

2884
02:35:47,160 --> 02:35:51,800
Speaker 5: But the funny part is that juice Ball kind of

2885
02:35:51,879 --> 02:35:57,119
Speaker 5: played a role with absolutely absolutely we all kind.

2886
02:35:57,000 --> 02:35:59,600
Speaker 2: Of meant a healthy connections.

2887
02:36:03,440 --> 02:36:03,720
Speaker 3: This is.

2888
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:09,280
Speaker 2: From Brooklyn. I'm from Queens, Brooklyn, Queens. He's not supposed

2889
02:36:09,280 --> 02:36:17,160
Speaker 2: to Yeah, and Little Seasons styles and we're like all

2890
02:36:17,240 --> 02:36:26,720
Speaker 2: kind of man like not man definitely that's cool.

2891
02:36:27,640 --> 02:36:30,039
Speaker 7: Now we have come a long way and I think

2892
02:36:30,120 --> 02:36:34,039
Speaker 7: we've been through a lot and we're still here standing.

2893
02:36:34,600 --> 02:36:37,800
Speaker 7: I mean even just like the pieces the Brothers ever

2894
02:36:38,320 --> 02:36:48,000
Speaker 7: a brother convert and I think this this album, it

2895
02:36:48,160 --> 02:36:52,600
Speaker 7: helped me open up to what I was going through,

2896
02:36:52,760 --> 02:36:56,520
Speaker 7: just losing a lot of individuals back to back to

2897
02:36:56,600 --> 02:37:00,240
Speaker 7: back to back, because when you grieve or people don't

2898
02:37:00,240 --> 02:37:02,080
Speaker 7: really tell you how to agree with, you don't know

2899
02:37:02,160 --> 02:37:04,400
Speaker 7: how to agree and when they hit back to back,

2900
02:37:04,480 --> 02:37:08,440
Speaker 7: you don't have time to really grieve one because the

2901
02:37:08,520 --> 02:37:12,560
Speaker 7: next one is coming. And I think the inspiration behind

2902
02:37:12,680 --> 02:37:17,440
Speaker 7: that my brothers, my father, bestie Tianna it really helped

2903
02:37:17,520 --> 02:37:21,480
Speaker 7: us get this off of the ground, right, and I

2904
02:37:21,600 --> 02:37:25,480
Speaker 7: think behind that we're still here to infinity and beyond.

2905
02:37:25,879 --> 02:37:31,760
Speaker 2: That's what it is, you know what.

2906
02:37:31,840 --> 02:37:35,959
Speaker 5: That being said, which just said, I want to ask,

2907
02:37:36,080 --> 02:37:40,480
Speaker 5: like one of the lifelong questions is sometimes they say

2908
02:37:40,520 --> 02:37:43,720
Speaker 5: Mary makes up best music she goes through the drama.

2909
02:37:46,200 --> 02:37:53,720
Speaker 5: All right, maybe that's why I'm not making music. Maybe

2910
02:37:53,720 --> 02:37:56,400
Speaker 5: I'm not going through the drama that I once visualized.

2911
02:37:57,120 --> 02:37:58,800
Speaker 14: But is.

2912
02:38:00,480 --> 02:38:04,360
Speaker 2: When y'all make music, do you have to go through something?

2913
02:38:05,640 --> 02:38:08,960
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, finishing that was it?

2914
02:38:09,160 --> 02:38:12,920
Speaker 5: Like, dude, is that something that applies to y'all as well?

2915
02:38:12,959 --> 02:38:15,840
Speaker 5: You have to go through drama to make something so

2916
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:17,520
Speaker 5: classical as which have just made?

2917
02:38:18,200 --> 02:38:21,840
Speaker 2: Or is it you know? Well?

2918
02:38:22,040 --> 02:38:25,120
Speaker 7: I mean personally, I think going through something can be

2919
02:38:25,240 --> 02:38:30,080
Speaker 7: a good or bad is depending on how you decide

2920
02:38:30,200 --> 02:38:33,160
Speaker 7: to go through it. Before nine times you get up

2921
02:38:33,200 --> 02:38:35,800
Speaker 7: ten and it's about how you take that next step

2922
02:38:36,120 --> 02:38:37,279
Speaker 7: to continue.

2923
02:38:38,120 --> 02:38:38,160
Speaker 8: It.

2924
02:38:38,240 --> 02:38:40,800
Speaker 7: Don't have to be Deafit don't have to be losses

2925
02:38:40,879 --> 02:38:43,200
Speaker 7: to go through. You you came up and you have

2926
02:38:43,320 --> 02:38:44,000
Speaker 7: a great you're.

2927
02:38:43,840 --> 02:38:44,480
Speaker 2: Doing the runs.

2928
02:38:44,520 --> 02:38:48,000
Speaker 7: You're going through something so joyous that can be your

2929
02:38:48,520 --> 02:38:51,480
Speaker 7: inspiration to grab from something joyous. It don't have to

2930
02:38:51,560 --> 02:38:54,520
Speaker 7: be it's still pain, because just pain is just weakness

2931
02:38:54,640 --> 02:38:57,800
Speaker 7: leaving the bodies. So it can still be of some

2932
02:38:58,120 --> 02:39:01,400
Speaker 7: pain and it can be joyous to where you're speaking

2933
02:39:01,480 --> 02:39:05,600
Speaker 7: on that. And once you start I think, sitting down

2934
02:39:05,640 --> 02:39:07,240
Speaker 7: with me, because I got a book that I'm coming

2935
02:39:07,320 --> 02:39:10,400
Speaker 7: out right with. It's just the memoirs and some of

2936
02:39:10,440 --> 02:39:13,160
Speaker 7: the best lyrics of vocals. And I think once you

2937
02:39:13,280 --> 02:39:17,840
Speaker 7: start really talking about it, that's what helps navigate you

2938
02:39:18,040 --> 02:39:20,879
Speaker 7: through it, to get through it, because that's the goal.

2939
02:39:21,000 --> 02:39:23,440
Speaker 7: The goal is to get through it. No matter how

2940
02:39:23,480 --> 02:39:25,600
Speaker 7: you get around it. The goal is to get through it.

2941
02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:29,080
Speaker 7: And once you start speaking and hearing your own voice,

2942
02:39:29,120 --> 02:39:31,600
Speaker 7: and you got a good team behind you, I think

2943
02:39:31,800 --> 02:39:33,800
Speaker 7: once you start talking, that's going to help your pen

2944
02:39:33,920 --> 02:39:37,240
Speaker 7: even flow even more so that's to lose it and

2945
02:39:37,400 --> 02:39:40,960
Speaker 7: come back. Yeah, I just I forgot he was on

2946
02:39:41,080 --> 02:39:41,520
Speaker 7: the show.

2947
02:39:45,200 --> 02:39:45,560
Speaker 2: Somewhere.

2948
02:39:46,040 --> 02:39:49,600
Speaker 7: To go through it and come back from it, that's

2949
02:39:49,680 --> 02:39:53,760
Speaker 7: the most blessings that you can receive, because you know,

2950
02:39:54,280 --> 02:39:56,240
Speaker 7: he didn't bring us this far as just to come

2951
02:39:56,360 --> 02:39:56,680
Speaker 7: as far.

2952
02:39:57,760 --> 02:39:59,760
Speaker 5: I mean, as long as as long as I can

2953
02:39:59,760 --> 02:40:02,840
Speaker 5: re remember. The black experience in music has always been

2954
02:40:02,920 --> 02:40:10,480
Speaker 5: connected to life. So Curtis Mayfield doesn't make Superfly. If

2955
02:40:10,600 --> 02:40:13,200
Speaker 5: drugs wasn't in what was going on in the seventies,

2956
02:40:13,280 --> 02:40:15,640
Speaker 5: wasn't a thing Mary j wouldn't have played made a

2957
02:40:15,680 --> 02:40:18,880
Speaker 5: lot of my life. I mean, we go down just

2958
02:40:19,280 --> 02:40:22,720
Speaker 5: the OJ's wouldn't make crowd together like Lenny Williams part

2959
02:40:22,760 --> 02:40:22,880
Speaker 5: of it.

2960
02:40:23,000 --> 02:40:25,480
Speaker 2: Lenny Williams wouldn't have made because I love you, you

2961
02:40:25,520 --> 02:40:27,160
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like this struggle is not a

2962
02:40:27,240 --> 02:40:28,160
Speaker 2: bad strug. No it's not.

2963
02:40:28,320 --> 02:40:30,440
Speaker 5: No, it's not no, it's not at all. But life,

2964
02:40:31,040 --> 02:40:34,200
Speaker 5: life has to happen. Life is a struggle. Life has

2965
02:40:34,240 --> 02:40:37,360
Speaker 5: to happen, and her life is going to accident on

2966
02:40:37,680 --> 02:40:38,920
Speaker 5: art then there it is.

2967
02:40:39,520 --> 02:40:43,320
Speaker 8: Right, there's things that you just didn't excuse me, There's

2968
02:40:43,320 --> 02:40:45,080
Speaker 8: a lot of things that you could talk about, but

2969
02:40:45,200 --> 02:40:47,080
Speaker 8: you got to want to talk about it. And then

2970
02:40:47,200 --> 02:40:49,960
Speaker 8: and then I guess because the game would do do

2971
02:40:50,080 --> 02:40:52,000
Speaker 8: ship to you. It's like do I want to even

2972
02:40:52,040 --> 02:40:53,120
Speaker 8: share this with you cats?

2973
02:40:53,440 --> 02:40:53,959
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

2974
02:40:54,040 --> 02:40:58,400
Speaker 8: So some people can use it for for for purpose,

2975
02:40:58,520 --> 02:41:02,160
Speaker 8: just for outlet like he was talking about. Now, I

2976
02:41:02,240 --> 02:41:05,600
Speaker 8: don't I don't think that you you will would lacked

2977
02:41:05,800 --> 02:41:09,600
Speaker 8: stuff because you have wild experiences congratulations on rand daughter

2978
02:41:09,800 --> 02:41:12,920
Speaker 8: and all that exactly, just like you can you can

2979
02:41:13,080 --> 02:41:16,680
Speaker 8: rap about running healthy. Like we have a song on

2980
02:41:16,800 --> 02:41:21,400
Speaker 8: the Shining On called Home, Sweet Home where I rap

2981
02:41:21,480 --> 02:41:26,400
Speaker 8: about an incident where my uncle got locked up and Ruler,

2982
02:41:26,760 --> 02:41:29,160
Speaker 8: you know, and I'm like at the end, I'm like,

2983
02:41:29,240 --> 02:41:33,040
Speaker 8: I can't wait for him to come home because you

2984
02:41:33,120 --> 02:41:34,840
Speaker 8: know we're going to get it popper when he come home,

2985
02:41:34,959 --> 02:41:37,520
Speaker 8: like Rule did, like twenty seven years he home though,

2986
02:41:38,480 --> 02:41:39,480
Speaker 8: now you know what I'm saying.

2987
02:41:39,520 --> 02:41:42,000
Speaker 9: So it's like I can round about that, like what

2988
02:41:42,200 --> 02:41:43,560
Speaker 9: what does that feel like?

2989
02:41:43,720 --> 02:41:44,440
Speaker 2: What is that like?

2990
02:41:44,720 --> 02:41:48,280
Speaker 8: And maybe even get some information from him where I

2991
02:41:48,320 --> 02:41:51,480
Speaker 8: could go like what was that like? Where he his

2992
02:41:51,600 --> 02:41:54,720
Speaker 8: experience because he had to watch our whole journey from

2993
02:41:54,800 --> 02:41:55,600
Speaker 8: behind the wall.

2994
02:41:55,879 --> 02:41:56,800
Speaker 2: Wow, you know what I mean.

2995
