25
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, Um, I pretty much growed up in the

26
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: you know, grew up in the business where certain things

27
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: were taken care of, you know what I mean, And

28
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: I didn't understand the importance of having those key components

00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: and you know record business, you know, or a company

84
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: a Young Money and the business wasn't business, and I

85
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,960

86
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,920

00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, that that was my learning curve. That was

90
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: my learning cura. Now. Yeah, and you know, if if

91
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,479

Speaker 1: if you can't take see you know, I already come

93
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: from a business family style perspective, you know what I mean.

94
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: And now at this point in time when I'm you know,

95
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: over at Capital, I'm getting my feet wet, you know

96
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: what I mean. So what do I mean by the

97
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: business wasn't business? And it was like people wasn't keeping

98
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: their word and I just didn't have time for that.

99
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. If you say it's one

100
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,240

101
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that was that uh moment,

102
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,400

113
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: feel like that record was an introduction to where R

114
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: and B was going straight up, straight up, dam no,

115
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: no no singing off the beat on the beach. It was.

116
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: It was a vibe like, yes, Shan is the ultimate

117
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: vibe we always had, that is what it is. But

118
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: this was like the R and B hip hop. I'm singing,

119
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: but I'm talking to right and I'm emotional. Right, that's facts,

120
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like it but it had

121
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: it was the merge. Yeah, that's fact. That became the

122
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: Bryson Tillers, that became the Weekend that became Scissor, Like

123
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that It was literally like listen,

124
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,920

127
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: to women about that record and being like, you know,

128
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: because we come from a very purist R and B

129
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: stance and we've had to re tune at times, and

130
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: hearing it at first, I'm like, I just like it

131
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: all the way on and this ain't this. And then

132
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, but this ship killed. It's wrong, but it's right. Yeah,

154
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: anything I want to pull up and pull up. We

155
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: put in work with you, and I think initially, I

156
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: don't know if you and I had a conversation about this,

157
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: but I think initially I was upset about it. No,

158
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: it was some friction. I remember, it was some friction. Yeah,

159
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: I was. I was upset about you know what I

160
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: mean if anybody that knows me like I don't I

161
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: wear my heart on my sleeve and what I'm saying

162
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: like and but then I had to also understand the

163
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: business that you were moving into as your own businessman,

164
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: and with us being businessmen. It made me have more

165
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: understanding and be like, you know what these these this

166
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: is his career. This is songs for us, but this

167
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: is this young man's career. I can't be mad at

168
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: him for how it's playing out. And doing what's best

169
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,959

00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,760

474
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, like we had CO sign on and

475
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,120

Speaker 1: there to to build something else at home. You're going

480
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: there because right now you didn't win in l A.

481
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,920

00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: It's nowhere to retreat to of like I used to be.

Speaker 1: I used to be. You can't get away from it.

485
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,920

667
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: tap in to R and B. You know, um, fucking

668
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: is one thing, you know what I'm saying. Having sex

669
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: is one thing, But you have to experience making love

670
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: in order to properly articulate R and B. And I

671
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: just want to say that for the record, because you

672
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: know the music, you know the words, the context. You know,

673

00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,879

677
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: into that place of where people want to feel again,

678

708
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,280

852
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: But but but I want to also add that I

853
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: was maybe twenty three at this point, you know what

854
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So, um, even though I was experienced, you know, Um,

855
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: a woman has never been that straightforward, you know. So

856
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: it kind of made me nervous. It kind of made

857
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: me nervous. And I ain't saying old names. What happened

858
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,919
Speaker 1: at the end of the story. But you can come

859
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: to your own ideas. Yeah, there's nothing happened, but things happened,

860
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But I ain't saying no names.

861
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: You know. It's like it's it's when a woman kind

862
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: of assumes a different position, probably the position that you

863
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: were supposed to play. It can sell you all. And

864
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: it did and it did, and if you're not careful,

865
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: it can mess up your blood flow. You gotta be focused.

866
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: And in these type of situations, if someone you know,

867
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: if someone's out performing you, you got to get into

868
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: your mind. You know, you've really got to be a

869
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: man of the craft. You gotta be a true cocksman.

870
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,640
