The reality is, the first time we saw Michael 371 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 4: in literary socks, we laughed. The first time we saw 372 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 4: Prince with his cheeks out, we all laughed and we 373 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 4: thought that shit was funny until it became his moment. 374 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: That's his moment. 375 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 4: We're just looking at its true, but it's cool, y'all 376 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 4: look at however you want. I see something that's going 377 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 4: to continue to grow. It's all about how you look 378 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 4: at life, man, It's how you look at it. No, 379 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 4: I'll just know that you definitely had the influence to 380 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 4: determine how people choose to look at things. So frame 381 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 4: in the right direction. Because our icons matter. 382 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 3: And that's why Imond is an icon who should always 383 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 3: be treated as such. I'm telling me and the dream 384 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: had this convo, and I don't know why. It just 385 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: stuck with me that night when the dream said, I'm like, yo, 386 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 3: the dream is right. We have to celebrate the legends. 387 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: That we have. 388 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: Now. 389 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: I really think it's because y'all still here. It's that it. 390 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 4: Sure as sure as technology becomes obsolete, you know, you 391 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 4: could assume that music and the spirituality that's inside of 392 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 4: it will too. 393 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 2: But it won't. 394 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 4: It'll always be there. But why not celebrate the people, 395 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 4: not just what they made. Let's celebrate them and let's 396 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 4: make them feel loved because they gave something. They dedicated, 397 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 4: they made you feel something, They made you fall in love, 398 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 4: they made you happy, they made you smile, they gave 399 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 4: you energy, they gave you something that you needed into 400 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 4: that moment. 401 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 2: So why not continue to lift them up. 402 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 4: That's why at every show you see me bringing the 403 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 4: artists that I know have been influential to my stage. 404 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 4: They hiding them. I'm not trying to make them look bad. 405 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 4: I'm like, no, let's make them look great. Let's continue 406 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 4: to lift our own people up. Let's lift each other up. 407 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 4: Let's continue to push each other up. Just you know, 408 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 4: I stay on you leyo, do it better? Come on, 409 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 4: do it better? 410 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: Yes, lift me up there, I got you.

That's it, that's all I want. 413 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 2: I won't greatness for our people. I won't. I won't. 414 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 2: I want our people to make certain that we know 415 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: we are great. Absolutely. 416 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. 417 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 3: You know, have you seen some of your old moments 418 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: like when you was on stage with Nicki Minaj and 419 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 3: you was head button or ass. Why would you saw 420 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 3: on Why would you sawing hinge in that moment? 421 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: Yea. By the way, that was Jamaican culture. See you 422 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: gotta go to you gotta go to Jamaica. 423 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. 424 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 4: That was just the moment that was That was fun. 425 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 4: And by the way, it was me playing my bass, 426 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 4: so I would have probably bumped my shoulder on my hand, 427 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. But I had my base 428 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 4: in my hand, so I was playing, so I just 429 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 4: kind of bopped off a body a little bit. And 430 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 4: you go back and look at the video, you'll understand 431 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 4: because I did it there the first time. That was 432 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 4: a little bit of Jamaican coaching. 433 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: It was all being I was like, man. 434 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 2: I think I think I was reaching a bit when 435 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: I slacked her. 436 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 4: Though I shouldn't slecked herm but I shouldn't DoD that. 437 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 6: See you gotta lift up, man, No. 438 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: Mean, I was lifting. 439 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 3: And I always wondered to what was what was your 440 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 3: reaction to the Boondocks episode about you? 441 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: Man? 442 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, that keeps coming up. That's been coming up all week. Two. 443 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I hate Regia about that, and then you 444 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 4: know they they crazy, it's funny. But I guess there's 445 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: that's the truth of the other side of what happens. 446 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 2: That's the usher effect. I guess. I don't know. 447 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 6: Most talked about, man, that is who you are. 448 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate that, but hey, in no way anything 449 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 4: that was done there should have been viewed as bad 450 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 4: or or in any way. 451 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: Perverted or anything like that. 452 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 4: No, it was literally about you know, having a having 453 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 4: fun because of a song that me and Alisha made 454 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 4: many years ago and we celebrated because of the legacy 455 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 4: of it. In no disrespect to anybody or anything like that. 456 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: Have you in Swiss and Alisha shared a laugh about. 457 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 4: It, absolutely laughed about it. It's crazy how people pick 458 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 4: they handle. It's all about how you present things, man. 459 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 4: But it's all love on my shout out. Shout out 460 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 4: to the Dean Collection. Y'all get out to Brooklyn and 461 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: check out the check out the Dean Collection this year, tell. 462 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 6: Us about your Black Love and Atlanta TV show that you. 463 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 4: Got It's coming. There's many things on the horizon. I'm 464 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 4: by the way. As I developed these concepts and ideas, 465 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 4: I'll tell you more within the process, but I'll just 466 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 4: give you the inspiration of why what it becomes is 467 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 4: something that you will be unveiled in time. I think 468 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 4: that we as artists, there's a price that we all 469 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 4: have to pay in entering this industry. And most of 470 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 4: the time we either sell off our publishing or either 471 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 4: we don't we don't retain it because it's not an 472 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 4: option too, or either we don't value it. 473 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: Because it doesn't have value in theory. 474 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 4: But what the value becomes is something that people have 475 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 4: already recognized. A story of songs. Storytelling is something that 476 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 4: I've always done. So what I did is I've taken 477 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 4: the songs of the of the masters that I don't own, 478 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 4: and I've reframed them into now something that is a 479 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 4: narrative piece that you'll be able to see. So you 480 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 4: already know what the story is, and you know what 481 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 4: the crescendo of the story is. 482 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: But here's just another way of you flipping. You know, 483 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: a hustler, you know what I'm saying, if you want 484 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: to call it a hustle. 485 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 4: But the reality is I own the idea, but I 486 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 4: don't necessarily own the ip So why not go after 487 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 4: some other portion of it to use it to storytell. 488 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 2: How does it make sense? 489 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: It makes How does the field to have coming home? Speaking? 490 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: And how the field have coming home on your own label? 491 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 2: That's amazing, you know. 492 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 4: I'm really hoping that it continues to pave the way 493 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 4: and show, you know, artists who have been in this 494 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 4: industry for you know, thirty plus years, that no matter 495 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 4: you know, how long you may be in it, you know, 496 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 4: keep going, keep going, keep striving, find great partnerships. Because 497 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 4: it's really a result of having an amazing partnership with 498 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 4: La and also to Larry Jackson that makes it what 499 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 4: it is. But you know, thirty years after signing my 500 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 4: first deal and having now comeback as an independent artist 501 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 4: and having the type of reaction to my music, I 502 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 4: don't take that lightly. 503 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 2: I do appreciate love. 504 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 4: I do appreciate the fact that people you know, that're 505 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 4: gravitating towards the music, that they're interested in it, that 506 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 4: it connects with their lives as it has connected to mine, 507 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 4: and this it's just the next chapter installation of my life. 508 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 3: Ruin is one of my favorite songs off the album 509 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 3: Oh my God, you knew I was going to say 510 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 3: that because I'm the one to put you on with 511 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 3: the song I should anyway. 512 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 5: I love Ruined what Feels?

You don't 540 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 4: look at any relationship the same because of that one, 541 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 4: until you meet the one who replaces that love in 542 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 4: your heart. 543 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 2: That's why I shot the video the way that I did. 544 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 5: Yes, and that is I bet you can see the video. 545 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 5: It's a really really nice visual. 546 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 6: I really love it. 547 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. 548 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: The completion of that is is the joy, the joy 549 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 4: that my wife gave me and giving me my first daughter. 550 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 2: And you know, I love my boys. Don't get me wrong, But. 551 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 4: Every man who has a daughter, he understands what I'm 552 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 4: saying when I say that daughter's changed. 553 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: You, I got full. 554 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 4: They replace, They replace a love that you can't explain. 555 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: That's right. 556 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 3: When you talk about relationships, Usha and you talk I 557 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 3: saw when you talk about being in toxic relationships throughout 558 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 3: your life, Can you admit to yourself that you might 559 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 3: have been toxic once at some point? 560 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 4: Absolutely? Okay, absolutely, you know uh, and obviously in the 561 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 4: music to say so. But I think that we all 562 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 4: are a product of what experiences we had as kids, 563 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 4: and what our idea of love is and what we 564 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 4: you know, we perceived to actually be healthy love that 565 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 4: might not necessarily be access is something that all you 566 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 4: know people do have. But you know, is it better 567 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 4: to have a ton when you really, you know, should 568 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 4: really love yourself first? You know, all all of those 569 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 4: I mean, it's I was taught to be a player. 570 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Hey player from the him Malayas. 571 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying was I was killing them, 572 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 4: you know. 573 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 2: What I'm saying. But you know. 574 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: This man is a minus man. 575 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I'm saying and probably turn down 576 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 4: more than I could ever choose to say. But I'm saying, 577 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 4: like to be real toxic is something that I think 578 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 4: we all got to individually work through and I did. 579 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: I did it. 580 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 4: You know, in a matter of about five to six 581 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 4: year of my life. Things change because I changed because 582 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 4: my forty my forty year changed my perspective and it 583 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 4: made me want something more. It made me want to 584 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,239 Speaker 4: love myself more. It made me want to be a 585 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 4: better person, hopefully for my children, so that they didn't 586 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 4: have to be toxic in their lives. 587 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 2: You know. 588 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 4: But I think that all of it is you know 589 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 4: kind of you know, living and learning. 590 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: That's in dressing. 591 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: You say that because I feel like when you made 592 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 3: that change, and we didn't even know you made that change, 593 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 3: that's when it seemed like you started to get your 594 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 3: flowers in a real way. That's when things started to shift, 595 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 3: like the residency and everything started around that time. So 596 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 3: that says a lot. You did the work on yourself 597 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 3: and it came back to you in life. 598 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, we all can't. We all should, and part of 599 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 4: it is is wanting to uh that belief and unwavering 600 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 4: commitment to what you believe in your mind no matter 601 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 4: what life is presenting you or what people may say 602 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 4: about you. That doesn't matter. 603 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,239 Speaker 2: What you feel about you matters. What I say I 604 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 2: am is what matters. I am a ruler in my 605 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: own mind. 606 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 4: I'm a king and I am building a kingdom in 607 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 4: my own mind, and that is all that matters, no 608 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 4: matter what may be said, no matter what anyone could 609 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 4: choose to say, what I say matters.
