125
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: is like a town. Man, it's like a town. Uh.

126
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:30,720

00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: and uh, the first neighborhood uh uh in America built

128
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: um for black folks and all black black people, by

129
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: black people for black people. Right. Yeah, they bought it.

130
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: It was an orange grove, you know, I hate that.

131
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly who it was they bought it. Yeah,

132
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: but they bought it. It was an orange grove. And

133
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: then they made these plots for black people to own

134
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: their own. I think they started out with like fifty

135
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: shotgun houses and uh, and it just grew. I heard

136
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: that the original state site was a plantation. Yeah, damn,

137
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: well that's that's all the southern reasons you want to

138
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: say that. But yeah, yeah, but a lot of that

139
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: area and there it was filled with plantations. You know.

140
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: That's that's just recorded. But the Memphis area, I think

141
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: Caryonville and all that, are they trying to gentrify Orange

142
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: Mound right now? It is white people more out there.

143
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: It is is still like yeah, they're trying to bleed. Yeah,

144
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: I know, and they're doing it there. I'm sure everything

145
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: that touches and and and and Orange Mound touches. We

146
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: we eached up that and and we so have they

147
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: started buying an Orange Mountain. Have you guys purchased them

148
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:16,480

Speaker 1: me right now and yeah and then that don't live there.

154
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: You know, you really gotta have um the resources. Yeah,

155
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: not just money, but the resources. Yeah, the resources, the connections,

156
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: the access because like my kids, mom was trying to

157
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: get me to buy like landing fifth Ward and in

158
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: Midtown before it took off. Baby, this is back. You

159
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: could buy a whole damn near city block in Midtown

160
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: for a million dollars. That's not that it was way

161
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: cheaper than that will here. Well, I'm telling you, I'm

162
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: talking about a host. I'm talking about the block, the

163
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: block grass Hun, I'm talking about the whole block. Yeah

164
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: it was, it was, Yeah, but in any event, we

165
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: know that was considered considerably lower than what it is now.

166
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: The same thing with Fifth Ward. I mean I remember

167
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: those plots, those lots back in the day when when

168
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: I was you know, just getting real money we're talking

169
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: for a lot, and that that same lot would run

170
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: you two hundred and three hundred thousand dollars. And they're

171
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: doing this in every city. Yeah, you know, America is

172
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: is a cookie cutter country. You living anyone in America

173
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: and you're living in the hood, make sure you buy

174
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: that all that ship, buy it all by all, patch

175
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: up and just buy all that ship. Yeah. We we

176
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: work with people, man, you know that that do that though.

177
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: So it's people that like uh that's involved with like

178
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: our beard, the cat that owned the brewery that bruise

179
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: our beard, and a couple of others like okay them

180
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: cash and a couple of other like black business owners man,

181
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: And they do a lot as far as trying to

182
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: get you know, get people like us and others that

183
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: don't have the resources the connections to get you in

184
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: a position. You know. You know, they often say that

185
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: fortune favors the brave, but it also favors the insight

186
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: for the ones who have visions. Because I did not

187
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: have that vision. Had I had the vision, oh it

188
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: would be it would be over. You know, just ask,

189
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: just ask. Back in the day, I was in New

190
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: York with Chuck Dick damn. We were at a fight

191
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: and Chuck said to me, Willie, they got this thing

192
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: called the Internet, hm, and it's gonna be big. He said,

193
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: ten years, half the households in America is going to

194
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: have computers. Now I'm thinking to myself, well, I have

195
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: the money and I don't even have a computer. How

196
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: is that gonna happen? But it's Chuck d something giving

197
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: him the benefit of the doubt that he knows what

198
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: he's talking about. I just can't understand it. Right then

199
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: he told me that we're gonna be getting our mail

200
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: through our computers. I was He's like, We're gonna be

201
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: getting the mail, you know, through computer, And I'm trying

202
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: to think physical How you gonna have physical mail come through?

203
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: He was talking about email. Chuck told me about the

204
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: Internet now, and I'm thinking to myself, after it blows up,

205
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: it took less than ten years, so I'm thinking it

206
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: was more like five years or so three four three

207
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: or four years or something like that. So I'm like,

208
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: so after that, I started thinking to myself, Man, I

209
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: was like, man, had I jumped on that? If I

210
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: would have just taken a leap of faith and jumped

211
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: on it, what could my life have been like financially?

212
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: Perhaps I would have started the Internet company with ten

213
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and so my internet company a few years

214
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: later for a hundred million dollars like Mark Cuban did,

215
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: and maybe i'd be the owner of the Dallas Mavericks.

216
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: But I didn't have the vision. So I promised myself

217
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: after that I would have a better I would be

218
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: open two new ideas and at least do my research

219
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: before I eliminate the idea of doing it, pursuing it

220
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: or not right, because because at first I was just like,

221
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't, I can't figure it out. I can't,

222
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: I can't understand it, and I just leave it right there.

223
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: It just dies right there. Now, when I hear something,

224
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I look into it first, Let me at least look

225
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: into it. I found myself when when cryptocurrency came around,

226
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: I found myself doing the same thing. I didn't catch

227
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: my snap. Well, Buddy kept calling me saying, will will

228
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: check out this big corn check it out, check it out,

229
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: it's going, it's going to going. And finally I caught

230
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: my snap and I jumped on big corn. At I

231
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: jumped on and then I hit and then I reinvested

232
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: in those corn and some other coins and from there,

233
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, I just been off to the races. But

234
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: I said that to say, you have to have the

235
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: fortune favors the visionaries, you know, you got to have

236
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: that vision. And just like with real estate, you're not.

237
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: You don't make your money when you know, with the news.

238
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: You make your money with the rumor. Right, So when

239
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: as a rumor it's going down, it's about to go down,

240
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: that's when you need to be on. Like, that's when

241
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: I should have been on with my kid's mom said, hey,

242
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: you need to get on this room. It's gonna come.

243
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: It's it's coming, it's coming. I waited till the news came,

244
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: and then by that time the land was so now

245
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: any land that I make a move on. Now, I'm

246
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: looking at twenty years down the line, what it might

247
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: look like thirty years down the line, you know, because

248
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: you gotta be willing to plant seeds that you may

249
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: not eat from, you may never see. Yeah, ready to

250
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: lose that. Well, it's your legacy. It's for you, you know,

251
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: it's for the people are after you. You know, that's

252
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: how you gotta look at it, you know, especially at

253
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: the age week. You know, you know thirty or four

254

Speaker 1: I don't know select in South Wales News. Let me

353
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: ask you another question, like being artists on a label

354
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: back then and then looking at as an artist right now,

355
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: how is accounting? Are you being accounted to? You know,

356
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: are you getting your publishing, your writers and all of

357
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: that ship or is it's just one bit clusterfuck saying

358
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: now right now? Are you getting all of your ship

359
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: from back then it kind of is on that accounted to. Yeah,

360
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: we've gone a whole bunch back the last like the

361
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: first ten years after we left squall, we've done a

362
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: whole bunch and we all were still only on a

363
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: percentage of that stuff. Does it interest you to go

364
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: back and get the rest of that publishing Yeah, working, working, Yeah,

365
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: we feel like, you know, it's, um, we should have

366
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: that now because other people have had it for us

367
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: so long that don't let us at least die with it.

368
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean that publishing company, he's still

369
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: got injuries in it, I do believe. UM. So it's

370
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: a um, a statute or a law or whatever you

371
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: wanna call it. That's set up right now. It's been

372
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: said up since like seventy two artists. So make sure

373
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: that you you know, from the time your album, from

374
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: the time that album comes out until the thirty year period, Man,

375
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: get your ship back, you know what I mean. That's

376
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: the only way we talked about it all that. Yeah,

377
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: that's the only way we're gonna have some money when

378
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: it's ship back. Talk about it all the time, and

379
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: that's why Congress cut the deal. Yeah, I think that's

380
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean, if that's that's what

381
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: the law is, and that's what the law, ain't nothing

382
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: we're making up with the law. If that's what the

383
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: law say, that's only right. But I don't think that's

384
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: the only way that we're gonna have some money. I

385
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: think we need to diversify. Man. I want to be

386
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: paid from from from from recording. I want to be paid.

387
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: I want to be paid from this job. You know

388
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like going to going working at

389
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: McDonald You work all that time and you don't get

390
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: paid until thirty five years later. You want to be

391
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: paid for for working this job right here first? All right,

392
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: I think it diversified back in ninety three, I've been diversified,

393
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: but I still won't get paid from this job. Well

394
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: that's good, I mean you should. You should be paid

395
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: for me any job that you put in work. Uh,

396
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, honest day's work for honest days pay. But

397
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: I but I you know, as a businessman also, I'm

398
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: on both sides just like you, as a businessman and

399
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, as somebody who has been a label exact

400
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: and as an artist for most of my life, I

401
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: can tell you that a deal is a deal until

402
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: you can go out there and make a better deal,

403
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: do you gee know what I'm saying, Because that's why

404
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: they got these contracts, you know, like bottom line man,

405
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: Like you know, the the music industry does not favor

406
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: the artist period. We all know that. It's always been

407
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: like that. It's been that like that from day one.

408
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: So if you can go back and you know, make

409
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: a better deal for yourself, then hell yeah, knock it

410
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: out the park. That's that's what it's for, Yeah, for

411
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: the artists to be able to make his deal with

412
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: his publishing. That's why they created the UH copyright termination

413
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: is what it's called. Because most artists are young and

414
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: in spirit and inexperience, you know when start off, you know,

415
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: they're either literally children or close to it, you know,

416
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: into their challenge or what they do. They're not and

417
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: so it should be some relief later on after you

418
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: get wiser older. It's the best time to to get

419
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: your uh, your copyrights back right now because you you settle,

420
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know what you know, what you want

421
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: to do that should be passed down, you know, I

422
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: think it should be you know, at the minimum, you know,

423
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: uh passed down to your children, you know, because that,

424
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: because that's kind of shitty man. You know, if you

425
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: think about it, if you think about like some of

426
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: these artists who have signed these um eternity deals and

427
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: ship and you know some years down the line, this

428
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: is this is an artist that shut the world, I mean,

429
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: made the world entertain the entire world and sold millions

430
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: of records, and that artist died broke, and that in

431
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: that children don't have anything either. That ship ain't cool.

432
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: And you know that's why, that's why that certain levels

433
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: of protection in Hollywood for young for young actors. Yeah,

434
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,400

486
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: stuff that it was produced by Uh, producers from over

487
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: there with a lot of people. There was a lot

488
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: of just different producers were really uh in the you

489
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: know how you uh get in that time in your

490
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: career where you are just doing like don't matter because

491
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: we were so used to medic with T mix for

492
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: ten years, you know, so s so you're trying to

493
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: do this new thing, you know, to keep it, keep

494
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: keep the legacy moving forward, and so you're open to

495
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: these these these different ideas. But how was the experience overall?

496
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: Would you say? Was it a different? Was the difference

497
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: working uh, working with that group as opposed to working

498
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:58,239
Speaker 1: with Drake? Uh, it was most definitely different. But like

499
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: in most places, you know, we kind of find our pocket,

500
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, and wherever we wherever we didn't recorded it,

501
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: but if we always do us. But it was like

502
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: Suave House was like to me Rap a Lot or

503
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: or even Bad Boy, you know what I mean. But

504

505
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: these family style entities, you know what I mean. And

506
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: that's how Suave House was and Bad Boy was that

507
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: with their original people. We weren't originals, you know what

508
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, came after we came in. It was kind

509
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: of in this transition. They in transition had more stuff

617
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: brand creation. Mike Dean played some keys on it, but

618
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,600

619
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: did that? So how did that? How do we really

620
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,480

00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: truth and shame the devil. So after they come clean,

623
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: history must be correctly written. Right, So you have to

624
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,080

764
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:05,920

00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: yeah man. You know what, even if it ain't gonna

00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: come out, we are always doing work. How many how many?

770
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: How many albums? Records? How many records you think that

771
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: you have, but like that hasn't come out. That's it's

772
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 1: in the arsenal ship. I probably got a three albums,

773
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: four albums. You got about four albums. I got more,

774
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: probably more than that. I got a studio in my house, Willie,

775
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: before I unplugged all that ship, I'll just be making music,

776
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: making songs. But now I don't even go up there,

777
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: and no more. I fucking unplugged that ship a little. Recording, man,

778
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: I hate recording now a little. I think it got

779
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 1: too difficult because when ship went digital, you know, computer SS.

780
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: I got SSL in my house. You got computers and

781
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: SSL s, and I adn't never been able to do

782
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: nothing this stuff. I'm lost without an engineer. I'm just

783
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: during the pandemic. I learned proteols, and yeah, I learned proteols.

784
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: I learned SSL long time ago. When I first bought

785
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: my studio, I had an engineering there and I used

786
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: to have to wait on him to do anything. I

787
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: couldn't do nothing. Very I felt hopeless, and one day

788
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: I asked him, I said, man, show me how to

789
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: work this day. He's like, well, you know, man, if

790
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: I show you how to work it, you know it'd

791
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: be easier for me to just do it, man, because

792
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna takes so lots of man. That was insulting

793
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: my elligence. And I was like, man, just show I

794
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: was like that was a job security response, right, So

795
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 1: I was like, man, just show me how to work it.

796
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: And so the man refused to show me. He always

797
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: had an excuse. So one day I just started, like

798
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: I asked another producer engineer to come over and show

799
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: me how to work it. So I had an engineer

800
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: coming over every day just showing me. And each day

801
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: I learned one or two things. You know, you could

802
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: start off with, how to turn the volume up, turn

803
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 1: it down, how to fade, you know, and just and

804
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: and as you as I learned, I just it just

805
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: kept growing and growing and growing to one day he

806
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: called me and said, hey, we are man. How you

807
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: do this? I got so good that I became a

808
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: better engineer than he was. And I remember when I

809
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: first started, I used to look at dudes doing the

810
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: engineer and stuff, and I thought, man, you had to

811
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 1: be a genius. I thought you had to be a

812
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: genius to do that. But then I saw Brad doing it.

813
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: I was like, you can do it. I can do

814
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: it because if you put us in the room right now,

815
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: think about us, I can record your whole Yeah, we'll

816
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: come out. We don't need you can record it. We

817
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: don't need. You don't need to produce a engine that

818
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 1: you put us on the room. We can come out

819
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: with all no ship. That's impressive. Everybody in this room,

820
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: everybody you know, But that's a that's a thing like

821
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, we can go in the

822
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: room beats everything. Don't uh if you got pro tools

823
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Man, he don't show you how

824
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: to do that. I paid thing. If you got a

825
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: booth and all they fired that nigga. Man, you know what,

826
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: I ain't no good engineer, you know, show you that thing.

827
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 1: Mike Dean, Mike Dean. It's probably one of the best

828
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: engineers in the world. Yeah, I give him that. And

829
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 1: he's probably one of the best musicians too. He could

830
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 1: play every thing. It's nothing that he can't play. Yeah. Stevo,

831
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: that called Stevo. That's my personal engineer. And I can't

832
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 1: record without Stevo. Yeah, Like we've been doing this ship

833
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: so long together until he already know. It's a chemistry.

834
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: It's a chemistry with me and Stevo as engineers. You know.

835
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: So even though I know how to work that ship

836
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: or I know how to mix that ship or whatever,

837

00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: that much. Even though I know how to do it,

976
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,800

1027
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: it's the youth. Um, and I think, uh, it kept

1028
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 1: us all young. I think, uh, I think it kept

1029
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: us all all in this room. And and um, it's

1030
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: like something in the water, you know. I think, you know,

1031
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 1: when hip hop came alone, you know, it made us

1032
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: as a whole culture more youthful and more youthful thinking.

1033
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: Like if you look back at old pictures in old times,

1034
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, um, it's like a lot of

1035
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: youngsters was in a hurry to get old, look old,

1036
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 1: start acting old, you know, like you know, like when

1037
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 1: you look back, you know, like in the thirties, fours

1038
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:00,120
Speaker 1: and fifties, and you look at some of them hit

1039
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: is you know cats, you know it was twenty two

1040
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: already looking like you know what their granddaddy looked like,

1041
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: you know, just but selling in them ways, you know early.

1042
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: And I think hip hop a different fort The hip

1043
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: hop made a different made forty different in this atmosphere.

1044
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: Made And not to say that you know, the older

1045
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 1: cats wasn't on the game and only hustle, but I

1046
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: think hip hop just made us more youthful, youth for thinking.

1047
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: And you know you're right about that, man, because when

1048
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I mean, a forty year old

1049
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 1: pretty much looked like a grandmother. Now yeah, grandmother, remember
