So Frankie took it upon himself, you know, 337 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 1: go against the grain and say, you know, y'all may 338 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: slam this record, but I'm a jam thissh record. Y'all 339 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: don't understand. This is the new wave. And when we 340 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: did that, I felt like Robert Townsend on uh, it's 341 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: that movie. He's like, they planning it, they're playing it 342 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: on the radio. Mom, So was it a good?

Okay, I don't remember, but that's how 346 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: I felt, you know. And my mother was there with me. 347 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: It's like we're hearing the record on the radio. But 348 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: before all of that, my mother made me do the 349 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: poor man copyright the mailing. Yeah, so I mailed tape 350 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: yourself to myself. Okay, yeah, that's copyright.

You know, she was like 352 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: because when she first heard it, she and she know 353 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: what it was, but she was like, this sounds good. 354 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: You know. I used to always get how you say 355 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: bothered by the neighbors, you know, because I was making 356 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: a lot of noise. Noise, yes, of course. And then uh, 357 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: like I said, when they started evolving and everybody started like, yo, 358 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna make it out of the projects. So everybody 359 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: became fans and supportive. So that's where I raised you. Yes, 360 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: that's right.

I believe you told it. You didn't 431 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: even have a board when you started out. You would 432 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: go and learn. 433 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: At everybody's studio, going everybody studio and the program just beats. 434 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: Put it on a cassette, take it with me, and 435 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: just play it for everybody. So until I was able 436 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: to afford a drum machine, I was just doing that 437 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: first drum machine I was on was uh, the Oberheim 438 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: d X weight. So I want to come tell all 439 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: the trappers out there. I was doing trap before them, 440 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: making records with like go see the Doctor eight away, 441 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,719 Speaker 1: and you know, we didn't have it washing, nothing sinking, 442 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: so we used that punch to make two drum machines 443 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: sink together. Wild You young motherfuckers need to listen. You 444 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: know you know how hard that ship is. Go ahead. 445 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That was the That was the first I know, 446 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: but sides doing Dougie Fresh the show, the show, I 447 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: didn't really know where it was going. But when the 448 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: show came out, even though you know, I didn't get 449 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: any credit for it, because like I said, I had 450 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: started in my eyes. I just wanted to record play 451 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: on the radio and you know, be a part of something. 452 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: And that's how I started evolving in Harlem. And then 453 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: everybody came to me from Brooklyn, the Queens and everybody 454 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: would come to my projects and I would make records 455 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: for everybody. So I'm bouncing around a little bit, like 456 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: you said, I need to ask you this. I believe 457 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: I see Jermaine depreciate this. He said that New Addition 458 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: is the greatest group of all time. Then they questioned them. 459 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: They said, because each one of of these members solo 460 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: went platinum, do you believe that statement? I believe they 461 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: are the greatest group of all times. Are we making 462 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: no noise for that? Yeah? Okay? And why I say 463 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: that is because them together is a nucleus. And now 464 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: you see them all together. Nobody's standing up to that 465 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: and their group that got back together and stayed together 466 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: because they'd seen the business. They stood on business. If 467 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: other groups would stand on business, we would have a nucleus. 468 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: And we have groups back. Wow. Right now it's the 469 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: recession of groups. Now we're leaning towards we're leaning on 470 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: the legends. Wow. You know. And they're the legends that 471 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: is really setting the example, you know for the other legends. 472 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: You know, all these groups breaking up is like one 473 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: twelve Now it's just twelve. Damn. I didn't know that, 474 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, really damn what they doing? Then you 475 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: got groups that lost members like High five. Yeh, I'm 476 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: putting them back together. Yes, intro. So there's a lot 477 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: of groups out there that are legend groups, but there's 478 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: no new groups. Okay. I thought Day twenty six was 479 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: going to be you know the next next big thing. Agree, 480 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: but it happen so for real, so real.

I think what it 483 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: is is, you know, it was the artist development. 484 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 2: Artists development is missing in the industry. Yeah, I agree 485 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: with that one mean thing. 486 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: When we had I was artist developed.

That's when the system. 661 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then that's what streaming, streaming is interesting kindas 662 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 2: and all of that. 663 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: When I came back was when Heavy D passed away, 664 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: and that's what made me say it, I'm coming back 665 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 1: to America. I moved to Atlanta then asked my sister, 666 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 1: just find me a place. It's like where you want 667 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: to live, gated community. I said, no, I want to 668 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 1: live next to you. They found me a place and 669 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 1: I lived there for a little while and kind of 670 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,720 Speaker 1: outgrown it and moved into a house, you know, big house, 671 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 1: and stayed down there for a while. Atlanta. Yeah, okay, 672 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: how do you feel like was that? Was there a 673 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: culture shock living out there? I was assuming that's your 674 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: first time living outside of the States, was it. No, 675 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: I lived in London. I lived in London. My earlier 676 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: is when I was working in Cood and the Ocean. 677 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 1: We did all like I'll go see the dots. How 678 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 1: do you like me? Now? Those records we did in 679 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 1: London we did at Battery Studios because draft records. We 680 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: don't realize how much of those records were made. It 681 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: was a battery studio. I didn't know Battery Studios was 682 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 1: located in London. They have one in London and one 683 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 1: in New York.

Then just legendary, I see, 687 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: because I can't fathom this because because I lived there, 688 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: like we would spend three to maybe six months. But 689 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: that wasn't much of a culture shock being in in 690 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: London versus here as it was.

And the look at the to and 863 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:51,959 Speaker 1: that's when he I think that's when he threw the glove. 864 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look back at it. But that's when he 865 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,440 Speaker 1: threw the gloves and they threw it back at him. 866 00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 1: Then next to you know, everything he tried just and 867 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 1: didn't want work right, so he said, oh, just forget 868 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 1: about it.

He 870 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 1: went to go get off the stage. So he didn't 871 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 1: know that the light post was a prop. So he 872 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 1: told the light post. The post came down with him 873 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,040 Speaker 1: and the bodyguard, you know, kind of saved him, took 874 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:34,200 Speaker 1: him away. And Michael's in the back just laughing. Okay, 875 00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:39,320 Speaker 1: you see you see you laughing. He said, you know 876 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,000 Speaker 1: what happened afterwards? I said, what. 877 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,440 Speaker 4: He said, we was going on with my family was 878 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 4: leaving backstage, and always say him it was the Red 879 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 4: COVID and it's Prince. 880 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 1: He tried to run my whole family over. I said, 881 00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 1: you seriously, said yeah, yeah, it it was on. After that, 882 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:11,320 Speaker 1: that's when the whole thing was like Prince against Michael, 883 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 1: and you know, everybody went to Michael's side. I got 884 01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:23,440 Speaker 1: to Mike, but I don't know Will tell it that way. 885 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 1: I feel like Will told us the story. After that, 886 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: it was another show show that he was at. And 887 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,600 Speaker 1: but the reason why he called him because of that. 888 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,520 Speaker 2: And I believe that he tricked Michael into tricking him 889 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 2: to his show. He had already had Print's book, but 890 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:41,040 Speaker 2: he didn't. 891 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 1: Want Michael to know. And then when Michael showing up, 892 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: he said, he's a meanie. I don't know why I 893 01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 1: made that voice. I'm so sorry. He's right, and he 894 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 1: used that way lies, he used that way. There's a 895 01:00:55,760 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 1: few people he called meanie, like it's a few people. 896 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,040 Speaker 1: But uh, he said that about Prince a lot. You know, 897 01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 1: he's a mean he's he's I can't even say man. 898 01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 2: But because because us in hip hop, we look at 899 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,840 Speaker 2: jay Z and now so we look at like, uh uh, 900 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 2: Drake and Kendrick right now, and we look like, Okay, 901 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 2: that's us who did that?

So when I 987 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 1: left Jean and broke up with Jean and eighty nine, 988 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:52,439 Speaker 1: I know, we're jumping all over the Jean eighty nine 989 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:56,360 Speaker 1: because we got to get back to the game. Yeah yeah, 990 01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 1: we got it ready ready, yeah, by somebody else asking 991 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:05,120 Speaker 1: the same thing. But when I left Geane eighty nine, 992 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 1: it was because of my mother. You know. My mother 993 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,200 Speaker 1: was like, if you don't leave him going back to 994 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:18,280 Speaker 1: the projects. And I wasn't having that. So when I 995 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:22,800 Speaker 1: left him, there was a contract all my life. Oh wow, 996 01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,599 Speaker 1: and people were hearing about it, you know, watch out, 997 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 1: watch out for Geene or watch out. So of course 998 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,719 Speaker 1: I have my family, and I have an incredible team, 999 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:40,559 Speaker 1: and then I have the brothers, you know from the Moss. 1000 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:45,280 Speaker 1: In fact, he was actually eighty six from the Moss, 1001 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:51,479 Speaker 1: you know, because of me. So when all that happened, 1002 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:55,400 Speaker 1: my uncle took it upon himself, got with Nikki's people, 1003 01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,800 Speaker 1: and Country was the one who bought Jean, because you know, 1004 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 1: he kind of had a hold on jan so he went, 1005 01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with uh. There's a 1006 01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 1: place that the Italians own in Harlem call the flash 1007 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:17,280 Speaker 1: the flash Bar. I wasn't familiar. It's only bar. Most 1008 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:20,839 Speaker 1: of the homes and all the projects and the buildings 1009 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 1: are brown and you know, beige, and this was the 1010 01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:32,120 Speaker 1: only red spot. And why they have it read because 1011 01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:37,360 Speaker 1: some people don't leave it. They die in there, almost 1012 01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 1: like rails. I mean, I put that on rals. But 1013 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:45,599 Speaker 1: but they called a meeting with Jean at the flash Bar. 1014 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,519 Speaker 1: And when they call that meeting, my uncle called me. 1015 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 1: He said, you're gonna go in here. If you flinch 1016 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:58,599 Speaker 1: or you you feel don't feel good about this, you're 1017 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:03,800 Speaker 1: gonna leave. We're gonna stay and he's not coming out 1018 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:11,760 Speaker 1: of here. And I was like, okay, I'm gonna follow 1019 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:17,479 Speaker 1: the plan and I'll tell you about Alpo too. So 1020 01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,560 Speaker 1: I followed the plan and my uncle started the conversation. 1021 01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 1: He said, what is this? You have a contract out 1022 01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: of my nephew, and Jeanne kind of just said, I 1023 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:37,200 Speaker 1: don't have a contract. You know, maybe somebody else that 1024 01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,640 Speaker 1: you know care about me and you know, felt like, 1025 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:45,000 Speaker 1: you know he did me wrong, but they don't know. 1026 01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,600 Speaker 1: But if it's something that I can control, I'm going 1027 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,400 Speaker 1: to control it because he's like my son. He actually 1028 01:10:52,560 --> 01:11:00,120 Speaker 1: was my godfather. So when that happened, I said to 1029 01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 1: my uncle, we're good. He said, you go ahead. I said, 1030 01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,280 Speaker 1: let me speak to you. He gave me and he said, 1031 01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:17,839 Speaker 1: he said, what do you want? I said, don't do anything, 1032 01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:21,479 Speaker 1: but to your uncle. You're saying that no to Jane. 1033 01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,759 Speaker 1: I said that to my uncle, don't do anything. To Jane, 1034 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:31,920 Speaker 1: don't do nothing. I believe him because sometimes it could 1035 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:35,880 Speaker 1: be your crew. Yep. Just like posse Deep. I didn't 1036 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: do nothing with child Caught Quest, but posse Deep got 1037 01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:43,920 Speaker 1: into it. But it looks like I'm the leader because 1038 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 1: it is my crew, so and they were signed to me, 1039 01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 1: so it looks like me. So I believed him, and 1040 01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:59,000 Speaker 1: long behold. Years later, Jeane Griffin and I got back together, wow, 1041 01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:07,879 Speaker 1: as father and son, godfather and son. And before he passed, 1042 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, I got to you know, take him out 1043 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,040 Speaker 1: of the home because he had dementia. So I got 1044 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,800 Speaker 1: to take him out of the home. And in fact, 1045 01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:22,640 Speaker 1: that's a that's a chapter in my book about forgiveness. 1046 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,000 Speaker 1: I feel like, if you don't have forgiveness in your heart, 1047 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:35,240 Speaker 1: you'll never leave this earth complete. Mm hm. So I 1048 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:41,400 Speaker 1: always believe in, you know, completion. So that's what happened 1049 01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:42,880 Speaker 1: with that. But let me tell you something else that 1050 01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:44,639 Speaker 1: I'll post. Said on the radio. 1051 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:52,280 Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, I'm the one that Teddy stopped from 1052 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:52,880 Speaker 4: killing Jean. 1053 01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:57,120 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, Yeah, I told him too, wow, 1054 01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,439 Speaker 1: because they wanted they wanted to kill So that's true, 1055 01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:04,800 Speaker 1: huh kind of true. It was true. It's true. I 1056 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 1: don't I just don't believe in that, you know, unless 1057 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 1: this by all means necessary, right, I just don't believe 1058 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,559 Speaker 1: that anybody should die. 1059 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,599 Speaker 2: But but that shows the power that you have by 1060 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,160 Speaker 2: not flexing your power. But you know what I mean, 1061 01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 2: that shows the smartness in who you are. 1062 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,880 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like like I mean, coming 1063 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 1: from the streets and coming from the hood, you know, 1064 01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:35,760 Speaker 1: and and experienced the hustling life. And I've seen people, 1065 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:42,439 Speaker 1: I've been in shootouts, and that's not nothing to play with, 1066 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:47,240 Speaker 1: especially when you see your friend take a bullet, right. 1067 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,400 Speaker 1: I see my friend take a bullet right, and I 1068 01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:57,880 Speaker 1: rode with uh, the guy who actually battled Biggie the 1069 01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,880 Speaker 1: skinny kid. I heard you. I heard you say that before. 1070 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:02,800 Speaker 1: He the one who brought me to the game. Wow. 1071 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,040 Speaker 1: We was hustling for some big timers until we had 1072 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,360 Speaker 1: our own, and then they kicked me off the street. 1073 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,920 Speaker 1: I protected you different blocks. I mean, they kicked me 1074 01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:17,479 Speaker 1: off Shaw for all the right reasons though, Yeah, but 1075 01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,920 Speaker 1: it was because they knew, Yo, he gonna be something. 1076 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:22,880 Speaker 1: I got that in my notes the shack crew. So 1077 01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,840 Speaker 1: let's get on with the gate man. I don't think 1078 01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,160 Speaker 1: that exists today though, that kicking off for the right reason. 1079 01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,840 Speaker 1: I don't think that's happening anymore. Unfortunately, you know. You know, 1080 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:38,040 Speaker 1: when I heard your story, probably the last person I've 1081 01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 1: heard was in my hood, Kenny Anderson, Like the drug 1082 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:44,599 Speaker 1: dealers just protected him. 1083 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,800 Speaker 2: The drug dealers knew that he was gonna go, and 1084 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,800 Speaker 2: they took him right off the streets. 1085 01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 1: And was just like, yo, I don't think he could 1086 01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 1: he was Kenny. I'm sorry if I'm blowing this up, 1087 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,160 Speaker 1: but I don't even think he was allowed outside. Not 1088 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 1: in a bad way, but in a way it was like, yo, 1089 01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 1: we see, we see you have a better life ahead 1090 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:05,000 Speaker 1: of you, so we're gonna protect that. And like Alan 1091 01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,960 Speaker 1: Iverson was in that here, but that was because he 1092 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,080 Speaker 1: used to play ball for my celebrity team. I believe 1093 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 1: they protected him the same way, you know. And and 1094 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,880 Speaker 1: he had some real people around him.

You know that's 1156 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:36,720 Speaker 1: not street ordinance street ordinances. And then you want to 1157 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:42,120 Speaker 1: you want to go solo.

I can 1162 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:07,200 Speaker 1: stop it. I would never do that, right, but I'm 1163 01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:10,559 Speaker 1: kind of thinking about it. It's a thought. You know why, 1164 01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:15,160 Speaker 1: because if you're going to continue stopping what I would 1165 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:21,720 Speaker 1: like to do with my music, with your two or 1166 01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:25,519 Speaker 1: three percent on the publisher side, you know, two or 1167 01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:29,040 Speaker 1: three percent can stop you, they can block you. But 1168 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 1: we're about to change that. It's a new legislations that's 1169 01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 1: about to drop where if you ain't got a substantial 1170 01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:44,880 Speaker 1: amount of publishing, you get your little percentage because the 1171 01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:48,920 Speaker 1: people with this substantial amount are the ones that control 1172 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:53,720 Speaker 1: the copyrights. Nothing you can do about it, and that's 1173 01:21:53,800 --> 01:22:00,560 Speaker 1: being it's going in the legislations. So now that I 1174 01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 1: owe my publisher, right, I just got it. You just 1175 01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:09,240 Speaker 1: got it, just got it?

It's 1201 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,479 Speaker 1: just they wouldn't let me. They wouldn't let me hustle. 1202 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:59,080 Speaker 1: We do anything together, but you know, have fun. I 1203 01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,880 Speaker 1: never had to pay for anything with them. Well, they 1204 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:07,680 Speaker 1: did right by you. Absolutely Next one, okay, analog or 1205 01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 1: digital of course, you know it Analog all day. Analog 1206 01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:19,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna say anahog And why I'll tell you on 1207 01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:25,240 Speaker 1: the technical side. Why analog is uh, how you would say? 1208 01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:32,000 Speaker 1: It's the warmth, the warmth, the warmth, Yes of music. 1209 01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 1: Now we can go even deeper. I would love for 1210 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:42,040 Speaker 1: it to go back to analog and uh, four three 1211 01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:46,840 Speaker 1: to two frequency wave. Do y'all know about that? Now 1212 01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: you go, yeah, I don't know what. Four three to 1213 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,920 Speaker 1: two is the way we should be listening to music. 1214 01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,400 Speaker 1: So when you hear four three to two records, it 1215 01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 1: will make you relax. This music doesn't make us relax. 1216 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:06,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes we catch headaches and we're not supposed to four 1217 01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:09,840 Speaker 1: three to two. You listen to a Beatles song, it's 1218 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:13,280 Speaker 1: four three two, Or go back to a Michael Jackson 1219 01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:18,000 Speaker 1: the Jackson five song, like ABC, it was a four 1220 01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,559 Speaker 1: to three to two instead of four to four one. 1221 01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:29,200 Speaker 1: Four four one is the frequency that makes us, you know, laugh, cry, fight, 1222 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:35,400 Speaker 1: catch headache, the press. Right, it's all the things it 1223 01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 1: does to you. We shouldn't be having. Well, four three 1224 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,240 Speaker 1: to two when you listen to it's like we're in 1225 01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:43,160 Speaker 1: tune for that. We're in tune. We're in tune for 1226 01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:47,200 Speaker 1: four three two makes sense. I always like to mention 1227 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,720 Speaker 1: DJ Quick had said something about, yeah, that's the analog 1228 01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:54,479 Speaker 1: we speak four three too, absorbing the energy also in 1229 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:56,640 Speaker 1: that studio in the room, and like it absorbs that 1230 01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:58,559 Speaker 1: And that's what I like analog. 1231 01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:02,320 Speaker 2: I like analog because if we had to work with 1232 01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 2: each other, I would have to come to your studio. 1233 01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,240 Speaker 1: You would have to come to my studio.

I was like wow, And that 1471 01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:02,240 Speaker 1: was so special. Oh, you know, I felt amazed, you know, 1472 01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:04,800 Speaker 1: because I ain't talked to Jimmy in a while, because 1473 01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:08,080 Speaker 1: I kind of it's moving around. After losing my mom, 1474 01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:11,679 Speaker 1: I kind of went dormant. You know, you gotta go away, 1475 01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:15,120 Speaker 1: come back. I moved from Vegas, so I said, man, 1476 01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:17,519 Speaker 1: I felt like Vegas, you know, took my mother out 1477 01:42:17,560 --> 01:42:20,400 Speaker 1: of here. But you know, I just moved anyway. And 1478 01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:22,000 Speaker 1: I said, you know, let me go to Texas for 1479 01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:25,800 Speaker 1: a minute. Now I'm here, I'm like, let's buy a 1480 01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:28,960 Speaker 1: healthy baby, you know that that type of stuff I 1481 01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:31,640 Speaker 1: like to do. When I went to Virginia, I just 1482 01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:37,320 Speaker 1: set up shop and just move. But I'm gonna say this, 1483 01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:41,360 Speaker 1: when you got good friends, you got good people like that, 1484 01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:46,679 Speaker 1: you gotta really like those are the people that you keep. 1485 01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:51,559 Speaker 1: Those are the corners. I know, corners is it's not circles, 1486 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:56,320 Speaker 1: it's corners. And I had to get rid of the circles. 1487 01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:59,120 Speaker 1: That's why you know, I'm not solo. I got a 1488 01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:02,320 Speaker 1: new team, but I just had to get away from 1489 01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:08,080 Speaker 1: the blessing blockers. You know, sometimes what's for you is 1490 01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:10,599 Speaker 1: from you, I said, blockers. I've never heard. That's crazy. 1491 01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:14,880 Speaker 1: What's for you for you? You know? And I've always 1492 01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:17,920 Speaker 1: I held I've been so patient to tell my truth, 1493 01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:19,600 Speaker 1: which is why I have the book now and you 1494 01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,680 Speaker 1: can see everything in there and all the people that 1495 01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:25,800 Speaker 1: I work with. One person that's not in there that 1496 01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, I felt. I wish he was, but because 1497 01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:34,559 Speaker 1: of the circumstances and I'm dealing with the corporate wall, 1498 01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,960 Speaker 1: they told me to pull it. And that's my brother Diddy, 1499 01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:45,759 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I've never you know, witness or anything. 1500 01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:49,200 Speaker 1: I never experienced nothing, I know nothing. All I know 1501 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:52,680 Speaker 1: is he was my in turn. And I only been 1502 01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:55,559 Speaker 1: to one event, which was when he got a star 1503 01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:59,640 Speaker 1: in Hollywood because it said Harlem to Hollywood. So I 1504 01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:02,240 Speaker 1: hope it's okay to talk about this. Of course, of 1505 01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:05,840 Speaker 1: course we we we we were the same way. We've 1506 01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:08,479 Speaker 1: never not witnessed that. Yeah, when they told me. It's 1507 01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:11,400 Speaker 1: just like, yo, this is very you know, it's disappointing, 1508 01:44:11,479 --> 01:44:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, but it is what it is, you know. 1509 01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:20,679 Speaker 1: But I have to say, man, it's it's a lot 1510 01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:24,720 Speaker 1: that we are not subject to. And we we go 1511 01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:28,719 Speaker 1: through stuff, and and I wish I could have caught 1512 01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:32,160 Speaker 1: it because I catch a lot, and I catch a 1513 01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:36,840 Speaker 1: lot of my brothers and my little brothers. But you know, 1514 01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:39,800 Speaker 1: sometimes the little brother feels like he's the big brother. 1515 01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:43,160 Speaker 1: Mm hm. You gotta let him become the big brother, 1516 01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:46,600 Speaker 1: you know. But I was, I was in there, I 1517 01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:49,680 Speaker 1: was out of there, in there, out of there. So 1518 01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:54,320 Speaker 1: let's do the game. Okay. I ain't so. 1519 01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:57,959 Speaker 2: Attracted off Keep Sweat or Christopher Williams. 1520 01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:04,519 Speaker 1: These guys come on with it. Who did Dominican in 1521 01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:13,800 Speaker 1: the Columbia? Okay? I understand. Okay, Well I have to 1522 01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:17,200 Speaker 1: say Keith Sweat. And why I say Keith Sweat because 1523 01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:23,519 Speaker 1: not because I work with it and not because of uh, 1524 01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:28,479 Speaker 1: we're brothers. I say Keith Sweat even if we wasn't brothers. 1525 01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:35,760 Speaker 1: Keith Sweat is a signature, right, Keith Sweat created a signature. See, 1526 01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:38,320 Speaker 1: it's a difference like when I created New Jack Swing. 1527 01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:46,960 Speaker 1: It's my signature. Christopher Williams. You know he didn't have 1528 01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:50,320 Speaker 1: a signature. He had a voice like Teddy Pendergrass or 1529 01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:56,560 Speaker 1: Colonel Abrams. You know that's that's not creating a signature. 1530 01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:00,200 Speaker 1: Nothing against him because he's a dope singer and he's 1531 01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:06,479 Speaker 1: my boy. It's my brother. But Keith, you know his records, 1532 01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:11,400 Speaker 1: you know that's him, and that's something you can't take 1533 01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:13,479 Speaker 1: away from a pressure, just like you know it's Bobby. 1534 01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:18,639 Speaker 1: I create signatures when I made them, saying they walked 1535 01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:21,439 Speaker 1: out of the studio. Both of them walked out of 1536 01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:25,680 Speaker 1: the studio on me. Bobby and I got into a 1537 01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:29,000 Speaker 1: little small argument. I don't argue. You don't let you argue. 1538 01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:32,040 Speaker 1: I don't argue. I just say, yo, we don't have 1539 01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:37,639 Speaker 1: to do this shit and keep it moving. And then 1540 01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:42,920 Speaker 1: he walked out. He's like, okay, eort he walked out, Bobby. Yeah, 1541 01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:47,560 Speaker 1: we did over the projects we did. I did. I 1542 01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:52,519 Speaker 1: did my progative on the twelfth track. Okay, it was 1543 01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:57,840 Speaker 1: like a mixtake and they couldn't create or reproduce the sound. 1544 01:46:57,960 --> 01:46:59,720 Speaker 1: So I had to take my twelfth track to the 1545 01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:04,559 Speaker 1: student video to keep the sound right. And I'm gonna stick. 1546 01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:08,880 Speaker 1: You know, I'm like, that's like I have to have 1547 01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:12,840 Speaker 1: the same sound. My ear was so keen to having 1548 01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,080 Speaker 1: the same sound. When I try to re record it 1549 01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:21,120 Speaker 1: at Access Studios and it's like, this don't sound like 1550 01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:25,200 Speaker 1: the house I need to create. I needed to crime me. 1551 01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:27,600 Speaker 1: So I bought that dog on, put that thing in 1552 01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:30,000 Speaker 1: the car. We took it down. We just dropped it. 1553 01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:36,840 Speaker 1: You know about writing cold and generating new Cold, Yeah, absolutely, 1554 01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:40,840 Speaker 1: But I want to ask one thing. No, but we 1555 01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:43,640 Speaker 1: had to create new COLDE in order for me to 1556 01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:47,799 Speaker 1: sync my drum machine or anything up to the actual 1557 01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:53,160 Speaker 1: Akai to the twenty four track. Oh my god. Yes, 1558 01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:57,280 Speaker 1: when we did that, everything turned out perfect. Now it's 1559 01:47:57,320 --> 01:48:03,120 Speaker 1: time to sing. Okay.

And that's what I did with Bobby. 1623 01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:42,719 Speaker 2: That's that's you know, that's my barogative could have possibly 1624 01:52:42,880 --> 01:52:46,040 Speaker 2: not been made had he not came back to that. 1625 01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:48,720 Speaker 1: But I feel that the way he probably approached the 1626 01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:52,560 Speaker 1: record after that added to the record because man, he 1627 01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:56,519 Speaker 1: sung that bridge. I had one take on the bridge. 1628 01:52:56,560 --> 01:52:59,240 Speaker 1: He ain't had to punch nothing or nothing. He was 1629 01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:02,080 Speaker 1: so hypper. When you feel good about a record, you're 1630 01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:05,400 Speaker 1: gonna do. You're gonna make that record fire. You're gonna 1631 01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:11,559 Speaker 1: do the best and that's what he did, Bobby. When 1632 01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:15,320 Speaker 1: he got something, he got it. He would you one take. 1633 01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:19,960 Speaker 1: Because he's a he's a performer, and what he does 1634 01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:22,080 Speaker 1: on the stage, he put it in the studio. And 1635 01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:25,320 Speaker 1: that's the thing that I love about him. I'll tell 1636 01:53:25,320 --> 01:53:28,719 Speaker 1: you another one take, guys. Johnny Kemp just got paid. 1637 01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:35,400 Speaker 1: Was never sung twice Friday. That dude killed that record. Now, 1638 01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:40,120 Speaker 1: Keith Sweat, he didn't walk out of the studio. I mean, 1639 01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:42,160 Speaker 1: he was just hard. It was hard for him because 1640 01:53:42,160 --> 01:53:44,640 Speaker 1: I was I was young. It was hard for him 1641 01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:48,000 Speaker 1: to take the advice from me, like you know, and 1642 01:53:48,120 --> 01:53:50,640 Speaker 1: I had to say, this is your sound, this is 1643 01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:54,960 Speaker 1: your signature. And then he finally got it after listening 1644 01:53:54,960 --> 01:54:00,360 Speaker 1: to you know himself singing all the way down. He 1645 01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:02,840 Speaker 1: got it, you know. And most singers are like that, 1646 01:54:03,360 --> 01:54:05,599 Speaker 1: you know, when you kind of guide them. That's our 1647 01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:10,040 Speaker 1: job is to give you guidance. And most people don't 1648 01:54:10,080 --> 01:54:15,519 Speaker 1: want guidance m hm, right, especially an artists and artists, Yeah, 1649 01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:17,479 Speaker 1: because we have to tap into ego.

And 1651 01:54:19,760 --> 01:54:23,080 Speaker 1: the ego is the one that exactly you ever noticed 1652 01:54:23,080 --> 01:54:25,800 Speaker 1: some of them artists after their first album, they become 1653 01:54:25,880 --> 01:54:32,360 Speaker 1: the producer.

Tammy was the writer, 1824 02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:36,400 Speaker 1: that's what, and she had the background vocals of life. 1825 02:08:37,640 --> 02:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Caalise was just the artist and you know, she wrote 1826 02:08:42,640 --> 02:08:45,040 Speaker 1: some of us stuff. I don't know how much of 1827 02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:50,560 Speaker 1: it m but I felt like it would be Kalise 1828 02:08:50,720 --> 02:08:54,160 Speaker 1: because she was out there more. Tammy was the hidden 1829 02:08:54,280 --> 02:08:58,360 Speaker 1: jewel and still is like I don't notice, she doesn't 1830 02:08:58,400 --> 02:09:02,400 Speaker 1: notice to this day. Uh.

But it was 1838 02:09:22,760 --> 02:09:25,760 Speaker 2: always like something and what I heard is that she 1839 02:09:25,840 --> 02:09:27,560 Speaker 2: wanted to be a background. 1840 02:09:27,840 --> 02:09:30,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, she wanted to be in one front.

Do you know 1888 02:13:14,960 --> 02:13:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm the first logic user? Real? Yeah, very first. I 1889 02:13:19,880 --> 02:13:23,920 Speaker 1: used logic on our Tari Comodore. I did remember the time. 1890 02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:29,800 Speaker 1: On our Tari Comodore. It wasn't called logic. It was 1891 02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:34,480 Speaker 1: called notator, and then it went from notator to notator logic, 1892 02:13:35,520 --> 02:13:38,160 Speaker 1: and then they just took the notata out and called 1893 02:13:38,200 --> 02:13:42,760 Speaker 1: it logic. When it went to Macintosh. Before Apple, it 1894 02:13:42,880 --> 02:13:46,960 Speaker 1: was called Macintosh crazy. So you know that computer. All 1895 02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:50,160 Speaker 1: you've seen was this when you play tetric song and 1896 02:13:50,280 --> 02:13:54,880 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson joked, my damn computer.

I 1907 02:14:39,280 --> 02:14:43,840 Speaker 1: truly think so so that we'll never go down down 1908 02:14:44,040 --> 02:14:50,400 Speaker 1: just like this? Can you mean? Michael? He's like, normal, 1909 02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:54,840 Speaker 1: can you take take the model number and buy more, 1910 02:14:55,440 --> 02:14:59,400 Speaker 1: you know, in case so we never go down. It's like, okay, 1911 02:15:00,360 --> 02:15:04,080 Speaker 1: you know it is in the book where can I 1912 02:15:04,120 --> 02:15:08,400 Speaker 1: asked you? Did you just say Atari Atari? Commodore computer 1913 02:15:08,560 --> 02:15:11,440 Speaker 1: had their computer, they had had their own and logic 1914 02:15:11,680 --> 02:15:18,520 Speaker 1: was on there. Yeah, yeah, before everybody that's triple computer ship. 1915 02:15:18,680 --> 02:15:25,000 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, definitely. It's like one point. Oh so the 1916 02:15:25,160 --> 02:15:30,040 Speaker 1: visual version before that, I think you hitting the block. 1917 02:15:30,400 --> 02:15:33,880 Speaker 1: I used to play that on my downtime kids. Oh 1918 02:15:33,960 --> 02:15:39,960 Speaker 1: my god, before analogue. It's like there was no sound 1919 02:15:40,040 --> 02:15:42,920 Speaker 1: coming out of it. You know. That was just the MIDI. 1920 02:15:43,840 --> 02:15:46,680 Speaker 1: That's why I was called Notata because it's just MIDI. 1921 02:15:47,160 --> 02:15:50,040 Speaker 1: And then I would use to MP. That's when I 1922 02:15:50,440 --> 02:15:56,120 Speaker 1: had MPs. I used to MP. It would basically I'll 1923 02:15:56,120 --> 02:15:58,560 Speaker 1: played my drum machine all of that stuff through it, 1924 02:15:59,400 --> 02:16:01,560 Speaker 1: and all my keyboards would be MIDTI. And I have 1925 02:16:03,080 --> 02:16:05,800 Speaker 1: a lot of producers would know this. It's called eat magic. 1926 02:16:05,920 --> 02:16:09,440 Speaker 1: It was the medi and I midty all my keyboards 1927 02:16:09,640 --> 02:16:13,880 Speaker 1: to the computer, which is basically MIDI is like sinking 1928 02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:16,360 Speaker 1: all the differ stuff together. But I'm also the first 1929 02:16:16,440 --> 02:16:20,680 Speaker 1: on pro tools as well. Oh shit, you know why? Well, 1930 02:16:20,720 --> 02:16:24,920 Speaker 1: for pro toos there was sound Tools, and sound Tools 1931 02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:27,839 Speaker 1: was only two tracks, and then it graduated to four tracks. 1932 02:16:28,640 --> 02:16:33,240 Speaker 1: And then that's when digit Design made it. You know, 1933 02:16:33,440 --> 02:16:37,000 Speaker 1: I was the first indorser. I was on I don't 1934 02:16:37,040 --> 02:16:40,080 Speaker 1: know if anybody ever seen the eight eight eights. That 1935 02:16:40,240 --> 02:16:45,120 Speaker 1: was the first interface, the very first, and uh I 1936 02:16:45,160 --> 02:16:48,960 Speaker 1: had an endorsement. I was the first endorsement with them. Wow.

Somebody will tell your story. And I say, 2137 02:31:21,200 --> 02:31:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, I got to beat that. You know, we're 2138 02:31:23,240 --> 02:31:26,200 Speaker 1: coming with the TV film and it's even more than this. 2139 02:31:26,680 --> 02:31:28,680 Speaker 1: We come in with the rooftop film. Is we come 2140 02:31:28,760 --> 02:31:32,240 Speaker 1: with a few things that I think people will want 2141 02:31:32,280 --> 02:31:34,800 Speaker 1: to see. This is an old map some things you 2142 02:31:34,959 --> 02:31:38,039 Speaker 1: read in here don't follow it, and some things you're 2143 02:31:38,080 --> 02:31:39,960 Speaker 1: reading here you'll be like, oh, this is how he 2144 02:31:40,080 --> 02:31:44,480 Speaker 1: did that. I'm going to try that. And it's a tool, 2145 02:31:44,680 --> 02:31:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's a tool, and at the same time 2146 02:31:48,600 --> 02:31:52,760 Speaker 1: it's a collector's item. Because it's my first book. My 2147 02:31:52,840 --> 02:31:56,040 Speaker 1: next book will probably be a children's book. That's fire 2148 02:31:56,959 --> 02:31:58,640 Speaker 1: and the reason why I want to make a children's 2149 02:31:58,640 --> 02:32:02,320 Speaker 1: book because I always had this imaginary friend when I 2150 02:32:02,440 --> 02:32:05,160 Speaker 1: was young, and my parents used to argue and fight, 2151 02:32:06,560 --> 02:32:08,600 Speaker 1: and I say, you know what, this is my way 2152 02:32:08,680 --> 02:32:10,960 Speaker 1: to get away from it. And my imaginary friend was 2153 02:32:11,000 --> 02:32:13,920 Speaker 1: the music Man. So I'm writing The Music Man. It 2154 02:32:14,040 --> 02:32:17,840 Speaker 1: tells you more about the music that inspired me, and 2155 02:32:17,959 --> 02:32:21,720 Speaker 1: the tree of music that inspired me to create, how 2156 02:32:21,800 --> 02:32:26,040 Speaker 1: I created and what made me do it, and the 2157 02:32:26,120 --> 02:32:30,119 Speaker 1: how tos. So this is not the how to, it's 2158 02:32:30,240 --> 02:32:34,240 Speaker 1: just a world map and what did he do? What 2159 02:32:34,400 --> 02:32:39,800 Speaker 1: did he use? You know, more technical aspect. But the 2160 02:32:39,920 --> 02:32:44,120 Speaker 1: children book, the children book will show them this is 2161 02:32:44,200 --> 02:32:47,760 Speaker 1: what you do. It's almost like reading the manual. But 2162 02:32:48,200 --> 02:32:50,120 Speaker 1: I got two more questions, and let me say, I 2163 02:32:50,200 --> 02:32:53,120 Speaker 1: got two more questions, So it's almost like reading the 2164 02:32:53,240 --> 02:32:58,040 Speaker 1: Manual of life. How to start music or how to 2165 02:32:58,160 --> 02:33:03,720 Speaker 1: start creation. So I think it would be something specially. 2166 02:33:03,720 --> 02:33:06,000 Speaker 1: It would be music behind it, lots of music. But 2167 02:33:06,120 --> 02:33:08,840 Speaker 1: I love that kids music. Okay, So I have two 2168 02:33:08,879 --> 02:33:12,240 Speaker 1: more questions before I go back and as as jay 2169 02:33:12,320 --> 02:33:16,720 Speaker 1: Z or Nas, why did you do that?

There's nobody coming like 2351 02:45:20,640 --> 02:45:24,440 Speaker 1: that since that punk, right and now that they retired, 2352 02:45:24,600 --> 02:45:28,040 Speaker 1: I said, yo, let me create something and just see 2353 02:45:28,080 --> 02:45:30,080 Speaker 1: what people feel about it. That's not the same as 2354 02:45:30,160 --> 02:45:33,760 Speaker 1: Roger Troutman was doing. Yeah, that's what I say. I 2355 02:45:33,920 --> 02:45:37,280 Speaker 1: was pasted that touch. You know. Roger actually came to 2356 02:45:37,400 --> 02:45:41,119 Speaker 1: my studio and one thing he said to me, he said, man, 2357 02:45:41,280 --> 02:45:44,400 Speaker 1: you better not stop. He invented that, right? No, No, 2358 02:45:44,600 --> 02:45:47,240 Speaker 1: who did in that? It was invented between I feel 2359 02:45:47,320 --> 02:45:51,920 Speaker 1: like it's between him, but I think it's Peter Frampton. Okay, yeah, 2360 02:45:52,600 --> 02:45:55,240 Speaker 1: because he played it with the guitar. Now Roger played 2361 02:45:55,280 --> 02:45:57,520 Speaker 1: with the guitar, but he also played with the people. 2362 02:45:57,879 --> 02:46:00,600 Speaker 1: It was the idea of using the tube, ye, right, okay, 2363 02:46:00,840 --> 02:46:04,480 Speaker 1: And that's what I do now. And I've got a 2364 02:46:04,560 --> 02:46:06,800 Speaker 1: lot of signature records out there where they know it's 2365 02:46:06,840 --> 02:46:08,760 Speaker 1: me because a lot of a lot of people were playing. 2366 02:46:09,040 --> 02:46:12,240 Speaker 1: They're playing the talk box, but you know it's it's 2367 02:46:12,720 --> 02:46:15,600 Speaker 1: not the sound that I have. Would you consider that analog? 2368 02:46:16,040 --> 02:46:20,280 Speaker 1: That's very analog? No, no, analog. I just lost my 2369 02:46:20,360 --> 02:46:33,680 Speaker 1: train of thought. No, that's not auto tune analog. It's before. 2370 02:46:35,160 --> 02:46:36,880 Speaker 1: You don't think it would No, No, I know it's before, 2371 02:46:36,920 --> 02:46:39,440 Speaker 1: But I'm saying, would you consider that? Could that be 2372 02:46:39,480 --> 02:46:43,760 Speaker 1: a description for it auto rather than I wouldn't even 2373 02:46:43,800 --> 02:46:53,840 Speaker 1: say that. That's disrespectful. Okay, I know it's straight the tube, 2374 02:46:53,879 --> 02:46:57,880 Speaker 1: it's the talk box, the auto tune. You know, I 2375 02:46:58,000 --> 02:47:01,640 Speaker 1: started with the auto tune before a Ta Pain and 2376 02:47:01,800 --> 02:47:06,000 Speaker 1: before Ridey Jerkins. You can look at my testimony when 2377 02:47:06,040 --> 02:47:08,760 Speaker 1: it first came out. They bought it to me to 2378 02:47:08,879 --> 02:47:13,640 Speaker 1: test beta tests, and I was like, I don't want that. 2379 02:47:14,160 --> 02:47:16,680 Speaker 1: I was like, but I used it because I felt 2380 02:47:16,760 --> 02:47:19,320 Speaker 1: like I didn't have to use it like how they're 2381 02:47:19,400 --> 02:47:22,600 Speaker 1: using it. I used it just to keep like it 2382 02:47:22,760 --> 02:47:25,800 Speaker 1: was just too auto tune, yes, like not too like 2383 02:47:26,160 --> 02:47:31,560 Speaker 1: like that, just but it was the same thing. It's 2384 02:47:31,640 --> 02:47:33,800 Speaker 1: just you just turn it up more and you got 2385 02:47:34,080 --> 02:47:37,400 Speaker 1: it sounds like machine in different ways. Yes, And you 2386 02:47:37,520 --> 02:47:39,400 Speaker 1: remember one of the records that you used to and 2387 02:47:39,760 --> 02:47:44,160 Speaker 1: I'll do the Black Street records. The second one. It 2388 02:47:44,360 --> 02:47:49,680 Speaker 1: was to keep the singers on key, not me, because 2389 02:47:49,680 --> 02:47:52,520 Speaker 1: I didn't my my thing wasn't really singing. I was 2390 02:47:52,640 --> 02:47:54,640 Speaker 1: just like rap saying, you know, so I didn't have 2391 02:47:54,720 --> 02:47:58,840 Speaker 1: to stay on key. I just no, Deity was not 2392 02:47:59,000 --> 02:48:06,040 Speaker 1: on key. I was off key. But people they received it, 2393 02:48:06,400 --> 02:48:10,320 Speaker 1: you know. I bought the point across and that made 2394 02:48:10,360 --> 02:48:12,560 Speaker 1: me just say, dak, I could do more because it's 2395 02:48:12,560 --> 02:48:16,640 Speaker 1: almost like Johnny Guitar Watson, it was real mother for 2396 02:48:16,800 --> 02:48:21,280 Speaker 1: you that wasn't on key. So I mothered myself after them. 2397 02:48:22,200 --> 02:48:28,960 Speaker 1: George Clinton definitely not definitely not on key, but no, no, 2398 02:48:30,000 --> 02:48:34,520 Speaker 1: all right, then you had, uh the Boskag. I mean 2399 02:48:34,520 --> 02:48:36,760 Speaker 1: it's not a bad thing. No, it's a great thing 2400 02:48:36,879 --> 02:48:43,560 Speaker 1: because yeah, Bosskag, you know what that is. You got 2401 02:48:43,680 --> 02:48:47,320 Speaker 1: to see that black boy over there running scared. This 2402 02:48:47,440 --> 02:48:51,920 Speaker 1: is on in the bottle. I thought that was on key, No, 2403 02:48:52,080 --> 02:48:56,120 Speaker 1: that was not he. I was in it out. I 2404 02:48:56,240 --> 02:49:01,800 Speaker 1: was in and out. You know.

Okay, 2406 02:49:06,160 --> 02:49:10,039 Speaker 1: so and incredible rapper as well. T Pain can sing 2407 02:49:10,200 --> 02:49:14,800 Speaker 1: off key and people will still receive it. Yep. He's 2408 02:49:14,879 --> 02:49:18,960 Speaker 1: just never tried it. M he's never tried it. But 2409 02:49:19,040 --> 02:49:22,400 Speaker 1: I guarantee you because he knows his notes. I know 2410 02:49:22,560 --> 02:49:24,640 Speaker 1: my notes. How I learned how to sing is because 2411 02:49:24,680 --> 02:49:27,440 Speaker 1: I play keys. So if you know what you're playing 2412 02:49:27,520 --> 02:49:30,240 Speaker 1: on here and I play by ear. If you got 2413 02:49:30,360 --> 02:49:32,760 Speaker 1: to ear for keys, you gotta ear for a voice. 2414 02:49:33,879 --> 02:49:36,440 Speaker 1: You just gotta have a voice. Oh you got to 2415 02:49:36,480 --> 02:49:38,920 Speaker 1: have a sound and you could play your voice. Is 2416 02:49:38,959 --> 02:49:43,119 Speaker 1: what happens in that mode, which gives you a lot 2417 02:49:43,160 --> 02:49:46,160 Speaker 1: of freedom in your voice, like to do things, trust 2418 02:49:46,280 --> 02:49:52,160 Speaker 1: be created. I felt like when I played when I 2419 02:49:52,200 --> 02:49:55,920 Speaker 1: played vot quarters. Now it's two different things. Voe quarterer. 2420 02:49:56,000 --> 02:49:58,440 Speaker 1: You can play chords, and that's how you hear, like 2421 02:49:59,240 --> 02:50:01,760 Speaker 1: all of the background on Black Street and on it, 2422 02:50:01,959 --> 02:50:06,680 Speaker 1: that's full quarter. All of those harmonies that's folk, that's 2423 02:50:06,760 --> 02:50:10,160 Speaker 1: full quarter. But the talkbox is single. But you can 2424 02:50:10,200 --> 02:50:12,840 Speaker 1: also played chords with the talkbox. Kind of feels a 2425 02:50:12,879 --> 02:50:16,840 Speaker 1: little distorted because it's a mono, but it's better to 2426 02:50:16,920 --> 02:50:21,000 Speaker 1: play it as a solo. You you get the sound 2427 02:50:21,040 --> 02:50:21,320 Speaker 1: out of it. 2428 02:50:24,840 --> 02:50:28,760 Speaker 2: So let me let me ask you, right, Because we 2429 02:50:28,879 --> 02:50:31,039 Speaker 2: had nas on hair and I asked nods.

That's it. I will never have a 2665 03:07:05,360 --> 03:07:09,160 Speaker 1: beef with him. I just think that we need to 2666 03:07:09,280 --> 03:07:14,119 Speaker 1: do this. The example is we had this idea first 2667 03:07:14,200 --> 03:07:18,920 Speaker 1: to put it on the stage. Yes, well I did, 2668 03:07:19,920 --> 03:07:25,200 Speaker 1: and it was my dream. And if had we did 2669 03:07:25,280 --> 03:07:28,000 Speaker 1: that because we were the only ones that never had 2670 03:07:28,160 --> 03:07:31,640 Speaker 1: verses like how we created it. When they went on 2671 03:07:31,720 --> 03:07:34,120 Speaker 1: the stage, that was our creation because that's what we 2672 03:07:34,280 --> 03:07:37,920 Speaker 1: did at the house. If I didn't do that, they 2673 03:07:37,959 --> 03:07:42,720 Speaker 1: would versus would have been still in the house. Am 2674 03:07:42,760 --> 03:07:47,360 Speaker 1: I right along? Nobody would have never known about doing 2675 03:07:47,560 --> 03:07:50,560 Speaker 1: verses on no dog on stage. It's like, oh, Man, 2676 03:07:51,280 --> 03:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Teddy did it. Now we should do this with everybody. 2677 03:07:55,920 --> 03:07:58,080 Speaker 1: They even let Beanie Man and them have dog on 2678 03:07:58,240 --> 03:08:04,720 Speaker 1: boomboxes bos. They got a little dangerous in the yard. 2679 03:08:05,240 --> 03:08:07,640 Speaker 1: Police came. I said, wait a minute, where we're going. 2680 03:08:08,120 --> 03:08:12,240 Speaker 1: So we're doing what I did It's almost like what 2681 03:08:12,360 --> 03:08:16,160 Speaker 1: I did with new Jack Swing and everybody. They got 2682 03:08:16,240 --> 03:08:20,840 Speaker 1: on it, and I'm happy about that. It's just a legacy. 2683 03:08:22,240 --> 03:08:25,040 Speaker 1: That's all of this. But babyface, if you give me 2684 03:08:25,160 --> 03:08:27,640 Speaker 1: that shot, we're gonna make the culture just go wow. 2685 03:08:28,560 --> 03:08:31,840 Speaker 1: They just brought back versus like Monica. We how we 2686 03:08:32,000 --> 03:08:36,880 Speaker 1: let them get it before us and then they keep it. Well, 2687 03:08:36,920 --> 03:08:39,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it one hundred. I brought it to 2688 03:08:39,240 --> 03:08:44,760 Speaker 1: some promoters and they didn't believe. They didn't believe we're 2689 03:08:44,840 --> 03:08:50,560 Speaker 1: the We were the biggest of all the verses, every 2690 03:08:50,680 --> 03:08:53,120 Speaker 1: last one. You could put a couple of them together 2691 03:08:53,240 --> 03:08:58,040 Speaker 1: and still wouldn't even meet ours. You could put a few, 2692 03:08:58,200 --> 03:09:00,920 Speaker 1: you could put more than five together, still didn't make ours. 2693 03:09:02,200 --> 03:09:07,560 Speaker 1: We had over eight billion instances. They didn't want to 2694 03:09:07,760 --> 03:09:12,520 Speaker 1: display that, but CNN told the truth. Yes, they're the 2695 03:09:12,640 --> 03:09:15,160 Speaker 1: ones who reported it was like, this is over eight 2696 03:09:15,280 --> 03:09:19,440 Speaker 1: billion instances. The reason why because ig didn't want us 2697 03:09:19,480 --> 03:09:25,400 Speaker 1: to beat Michelle Obama. She had a party the same 2698 03:09:25,520 --> 03:09:29,640 Speaker 1: day and guess who was detailed for the party. You 2699 03:09:29,879 --> 03:09:34,160 Speaker 1: damn right, and he left the party. So watchat come 2700 03:09:34,240 --> 03:09:39,720 Speaker 1: Mutch all the artists. Quaville called me and said, yo, 2701 03:09:39,920 --> 03:09:42,560 Speaker 1: you broke the rules. We can't even get back in 2702 03:09:42,640 --> 03:09:44,440 Speaker 1: the room. I said, we can't even get back in 2703 03:09:44,520 --> 03:09:52,160 Speaker 1: our own That's what breaking the Internet is. They didn't 2704 03:09:52,200 --> 03:09:55,920 Speaker 1: do it, and everybody afterwards it was like they didn't 2705 03:09:55,920 --> 03:10:00,760 Speaker 1: bring the hype. The hype was the Teddy Rally. Internet broke. 2706 03:10:02,040 --> 03:10:06,360 Speaker 1: He broke it, then then he broke it again. So 2707 03:10:09,400 --> 03:10:12,720 Speaker 1: I think he'd observed that shot and I think, you know, 2708 03:10:13,480 --> 03:10:15,840 Speaker 1: face before you know, he'd just say, yo, I don't 2709 03:10:16,000 --> 03:10:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm good, I don't want to do this again. You know, 2710 03:10:18,920 --> 03:10:21,840 Speaker 1: I'm retiring. This is the way to go out with 2711 03:10:21,920 --> 03:10:24,600 Speaker 1: a bang, because we bring the culture. He's got all 2712 03:10:24,640 --> 03:10:28,720 Speaker 1: those hits and I got some records and and it 2713 03:10:28,760 --> 03:10:30,400 Speaker 1: would be more than a three hours show. But we 2714 03:10:30,480 --> 03:10:32,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. We're just going to give you a 2715 03:10:32,080 --> 03:10:35,800 Speaker 1: piece of our love and keep yo, keep everybody just coming. 2716 03:10:35,920 --> 03:10:39,560 Speaker 1: I know what it would do, Monica, they're now they're 2717 03:10:39,600 --> 03:10:42,560 Speaker 1: the example. We were supposed to be the example, but 2718 03:10:42,760 --> 03:10:45,039 Speaker 1: they are the example. And you see how well that did. 2719 03:10:46,400 --> 03:10:50,920 Speaker 1: People want to see verses on the stage and on tour. 2720 03:10:52,040 --> 03:10:57,720 Speaker 1: So like say if Swiss and Timberland to a versus 2721 03:10:58,080 --> 03:11:02,080 Speaker 1: like tourt them on the stage because they started. They 2722 03:11:02,120 --> 03:11:04,320 Speaker 1: got to be the verse, would you say, like Monica 2723 03:11:04,360 --> 03:11:11,000 Speaker 1: and Brandy and be yourselves being themselves and put it 2724 03:11:11,120 --> 03:11:15,400 Speaker 1: on the stage, the same thing. I mean, already Gladys 2725 03:11:15,480 --> 03:11:18,240 Speaker 1: Knight and what's the name already doing it, tayg le Bell, 2726 03:11:19,280 --> 03:11:23,640 Speaker 1: they doing it, You're doing well. These things would do well. 2727 03:11:24,720 --> 03:11:27,760 Speaker 1: You just can't be afraid of it. And that's what 2728 03:11:27,920 --> 03:11:30,920 Speaker 1: I feel. And it's got to be well produced as well. Yes, 2729 03:11:35,560 --> 03:11:38,400 Speaker 1: I just think that if we do that, it will 2730 03:11:38,480 --> 03:11:41,200 Speaker 1: be off the chain. It will take the summer and 2731 03:11:41,360 --> 03:11:43,920 Speaker 1: the winter. We will the would be probably asking us 2732 03:11:43,959 --> 03:11:46,879 Speaker 1: to come Africa or something, and I thought we should 2733 03:11:46,959 --> 03:11:50,080 Speaker 1: started in like a place like Africa. I heard you 2734 03:11:50,120 --> 03:11:52,640 Speaker 1: say that earlier. It's like make it look like yo, 2735 03:11:52,959 --> 03:11:55,760 Speaker 1: this the rumbling the jungles, like we can go ahead 2736 03:11:55,760 --> 03:11:58,840 Speaker 1: and it won't be you go first, you go second. 2737 03:11:58,920 --> 03:12:02,080 Speaker 1: We just go back and fall flight. How celebration and 2738 03:12:02,200 --> 03:12:06,360 Speaker 1: Chris Brown did event we celebrating. Ain't no competition because 2739 03:12:06,360 --> 03:12:09,760 Speaker 1: I ain't competing against them. Not doing that. I will 2740 03:12:09,840 --> 03:12:12,200 Speaker 1: never compete with my brother. That was just strictly for 2741 03:12:12,360 --> 03:12:16,200 Speaker 1: the culture. And you know, we made it look like 2742 03:12:16,520 --> 03:12:19,360 Speaker 1: we we ain't backing down. I know he ain't backing 2743 03:12:19,440 --> 03:12:21,840 Speaker 1: now and I'm not backing down neither. Like you know, 2744 03:12:23,160 --> 03:12:25,080 Speaker 1: let's say it is it? So let me ask you 2745 03:12:25,240 --> 03:12:30,000 Speaker 1: right why in our culture? Right, it's just like we 2746 03:12:30,280 --> 03:12:34,119 Speaker 1: we we like people like us want to celebrate our legends. 2747 03:12:34,720 --> 03:12:39,680 Speaker 2: But and hip hop or and people say, all right, man, 2748 03:12:39,920 --> 03:12:42,840 Speaker 2: you know you're over the hill now, like and like 2749 03:12:43,120 --> 03:12:45,680 Speaker 2: like and like I think I think you said it earlier. 2750 03:12:46,920 --> 03:12:48,959 Speaker 2: I was like, man, keep working, like, let's keep working. 2751 03:12:49,240 --> 03:12:52,760 Speaker 2: But why in our culture there's no such thing as 2752 03:12:53,000 --> 03:12:59,039 Speaker 2: washed up? And exactly music, there's no such thing. These 2753 03:12:59,080 --> 03:13:00,400 Speaker 2: guys are nine hundred years old. 2754 03:13:02,720 --> 03:13:04,760 Speaker 1: Why is it? Why is it in our culture that 2755 03:13:04,959 --> 03:13:11,160 Speaker 1: is frowned upon? Because we are so critical in scrutinizing 2756 03:13:11,360 --> 03:13:14,240 Speaker 1: each other that we never give each other the love 2757 03:13:14,400 --> 03:13:19,200 Speaker 1: that we deserve. So that's why sometimes you got to 2758 03:13:19,320 --> 03:13:21,920 Speaker 1: just keep doing what you're doing so people can still 2759 03:13:22,000 --> 03:13:27,440 Speaker 1: receive you. And you know, don't let anybody turn you 2760 03:13:27,520 --> 03:13:32,440 Speaker 1: away or stare you away from being or striving to 2761 03:13:32,560 --> 03:13:37,960 Speaker 1: be great, because one day they will see that you 2762 03:13:38,080 --> 03:13:40,400 Speaker 1: got to show them your greatness in order for you 2763 03:13:41,440 --> 03:13:45,120 Speaker 1: to be accepted. You just got to show it. Don't 2764 03:13:45,160 --> 03:13:46,880 Speaker 1: talk about it. You know a lot of people talk 2765 03:13:46,920 --> 03:13:48,840 Speaker 1: about it and bring R and B back or I'm 2766 03:13:48,840 --> 03:13:53,000 Speaker 1: going to bring this back and never conquer. So you 2767 03:13:53,120 --> 03:13:55,720 Speaker 1: gotta now just do it and not talk about it. 2768 03:13:55,959 --> 03:14:01,120 Speaker 1: Just do it and and and and be strong about it. 2769 03:14:01,360 --> 03:14:07,520 Speaker 1: Just be determined. I'm determined to you know, be consistent 2770 03:14:08,120 --> 03:14:11,080 Speaker 1: because when you're consistent, that's the key. And you know, 2771 03:14:11,120 --> 03:14:14,280 Speaker 1: I haven't waited, like I've gotts thrown at me when 2772 03:14:14,320 --> 03:14:16,720 Speaker 1: I said, Yo, this is guy two point oh.

What is it? 3055 03:32:53,520 --> 03:32:57,720 Speaker 2: What cliff top? And he was he was just ascribing 3056 03:32:57,800 --> 03:33:02,959 Speaker 2: to us how you can make it to the top 3057 03:33:03,520 --> 03:33:07,880 Speaker 2: and that should just not be enough. And that shit 3058 03:33:08,000 --> 03:33:09,320 Speaker 2: scared the ship out of me. 3059 03:33:09,520 --> 03:33:10,560 Speaker 1: That was ahead. 3060 03:33:10,560 --> 03:33:12,240 Speaker 2: I'm sorry because I feel like you're about to say 3061 03:33:12,240 --> 03:33:13,120 Speaker 2: something because you're right. 3062 03:33:13,240 --> 03:33:16,720 Speaker 1: You're right. I always say, you know, it's easy to 3063 03:33:16,800 --> 03:33:19,880 Speaker 1: get to the top, but it's hard to maintain and 3064 03:33:20,000 --> 03:33:27,160 Speaker 1: stay there. And my formula to that is, this is 3065 03:33:27,240 --> 03:33:32,440 Speaker 1: the industry. If you're trying to sustain yourself, sometimes you 3066 03:33:32,520 --> 03:33:35,000 Speaker 1: got to sit down, just like let the sub come in. 3067 03:33:36,760 --> 03:33:38,760 Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know how to let the subns. 3068 03:33:39,959 --> 03:33:45,840 Speaker 1: So that's what I did. I created subs. I created, 3069 03:33:46,400 --> 03:33:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, like architects that could fulfill what I'm doing 3070 03:33:51,080 --> 03:33:55,960 Speaker 1: while I'm sitting down, and that's what for well, you know, 3071 03:33:56,160 --> 03:33:58,920 Speaker 1: that's where they all come in. It's like that at 3072 03:33:59,040 --> 03:34:03,840 Speaker 1: least I know that something came from or came through 3073 03:34:04,200 --> 03:34:07,520 Speaker 1: me that I'm able to say that he's doing it. 3074 03:34:09,320 --> 03:34:12,600 Speaker 1: And when you see that, like writing the drunks as well, 3075 03:34:13,040 --> 03:34:17,600 Speaker 1: you know, and you're able to say that I'm a 3076 03:34:17,680 --> 03:34:21,359 Speaker 1: part of that. It's like when you said with the clips, 3077 03:34:21,920 --> 03:34:24,640 Speaker 1: that's the part I'm a part of that. That's that's 3078 03:34:24,760 --> 03:34:29,360 Speaker 1: my war too. You know I feel that way as well. 3079 03:34:30,360 --> 03:34:33,560 Speaker 1: But I'll never say it's like you smile inside that 3080 03:34:33,840 --> 03:34:37,440 Speaker 1: that really shows right here, it's all in here, and 3081 03:34:37,520 --> 03:34:41,080 Speaker 1: it's all in here, you know, and and that's what 3082 03:34:41,240 --> 03:34:46,360 Speaker 1: you're seeing. Because I'm proud, like like one hundred one 3083 03:34:46,520 --> 03:34:51,440 Speaker 1: thousand percent proud of all of them. I can tell 3084 03:34:51,800 --> 03:34:55,320 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's no, like never have 3085 03:34:55,480 --> 03:35:00,280 Speaker 1: been any type of heoration. No, because when you know, 3086 03:35:00,640 --> 03:35:04,720 Speaker 1: like when you see like you envisioned the tree, like 3087 03:35:06,920 --> 03:35:09,360 Speaker 1: it only adds on to you. But I got to 3088 03:35:09,360 --> 03:35:12,960 Speaker 1: see it. I'll stood behind you bro, you behind me, 3089 03:35:13,080 --> 03:35:15,680 Speaker 1: but you ain't see me drop the tear of joy. 3090 03:35:15,800 --> 03:35:18,960 Speaker 1: I did see that, you did. I did see that 3091 03:35:19,040 --> 03:35:23,920 Speaker 1: because I who was sitting right behind me? It was me. 3092 03:35:26,920 --> 03:35:30,720 Speaker 1: My wife was dead. I was almost wanted to say, 3093 03:35:31,000 --> 03:35:33,160 Speaker 1: get the camera because you know you were right here. 3094 03:35:33,240 --> 03:35:35,720 Speaker 1: You were exactly where e FN was to me. 3095 03:35:36,360 --> 03:35:39,840 Speaker 2: And what I realized was our whole chemistry the bose. 3096 03:35:39,720 --> 03:35:42,520 Speaker 1: Together at that very moment. I knew it already, but 3097 03:35:42,959 --> 03:35:46,000 Speaker 1: I looked and and and you know what, God bless 3098 03:35:46,080 --> 03:35:48,680 Speaker 1: hip hop man, God blessed hip hop man. God bless 3099 03:35:49,480 --> 03:35:51,840 Speaker 1: The last person that did that with me where I 3100 03:35:51,959 --> 03:35:55,840 Speaker 1: had a tear of joy was when I won We 3101 03:35:56,000 --> 03:36:00,800 Speaker 1: won the the Grammy for No Dignity. And then what 3102 03:36:01,000 --> 03:36:06,240 Speaker 1: came next was a Record of the Year and voice 3103 03:36:06,280 --> 03:36:13,600 Speaker 1: the Men one and Rick Rubin took a piece of 3104 03:36:13,680 --> 03:36:20,640 Speaker 1: paper and wrote that should have been your award, And 3105 03:36:20,840 --> 03:36:27,959 Speaker 1: I said, everything happens on God's time. Sometimes you gotta 3106 03:36:28,040 --> 03:36:32,720 Speaker 1: sit like I said, You gotta sit back that God 3107 03:36:33,920 --> 03:36:38,320 Speaker 1: stayed away. Are process.
