<v Speaker 1>Just come back and come back in ladies and gentlemen.

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>What can I say our guest today, Well, for starters,

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 1>she's sold over thirty million units of her albums, and

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>in the last two decades, I believe they're ten in total.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>But besides all that she personally, I will say that

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>she's one of my favorite voices in music, and thank you.

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Not in that oh. I like niche unusual sounding singers,

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's rare to hear any trace of soul

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>or life in such a technically perfect culture that we

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>live in now, where everything is overdone and overwrought and

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>too perfect. Like she has a pulse in her voice,

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I always loved about her. Welcome to

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.399
<v Speaker 1>request Love Supreme Macy.

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 5>Gray, Hello, sweetheart?

<v Speaker 5>Hey? You brush?

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Right now?

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 6>I'm in my bed in Los Angeles, California, sitting on

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 6>my bed. The internet in my house is best in

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 6>my room. So when I have stuff like this, I

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 6>get in the bed.

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I see, well, yeah, we're we thought we were all

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>in our beds. But wait, before I ask anything, this

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>is what I have to know. So I'm I'm I'm

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>getting my first, real, real, real house hooking up right now.

<v Speaker 5>Wow.

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>And the one thing that the one idea I'm stealing

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>from you is the idea of the chocolate room. When

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I first went to your house, you had a room

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>dedicated all brown, all chocolate. Which do you still maintain

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that in your house? It's been a while since I've

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>ever been back to your crib. I'm just asking, Mike, is.

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 5>I got a chocolate room? But you have to. It's

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 5>very important.

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 6>You have to get the paint suited or else it'll

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 6>just look like dude to brown. You gotta get like

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 6>a proper painter and tell them you want it swayed.

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 6>That sounds a yeah, okay, okay.

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So I was about to say, damn it. It's

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>been so long since since we wrapped to each other,

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you know. I now I feel like I'm really we're

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>reintroducing ourselves to each other. I mean, of course, in

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 1>your circle, I always heard people call you Nata Nat,

0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.520

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>asked you, like, how did you get the name Macy Gray?

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 6>I saw it on a mailbox. I guess there's there

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:18.039
<v Speaker 5>So you know in Ohio, you know how, like back

<v Speaker 6>and I was like, you know, that sounds good, you know,

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 6>I mean I saw it on a mailbox when I

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 6>was much younger. But when I decided to make up

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 6>my name, I went to that name.

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 7>Wait, have you ever looked up the actual Macy Gray? Yeah,

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 7>I mean the one from the mailbox.

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 5>He lived across the street.

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>So somewhere your neighbor has told that story.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I like, I knew who he was, but it

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 6>didn't like resonate. So I saw it that spelled out

<v Speaker 6>on a mailbox.

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.320

<v Speaker 6>the street.

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>So I believe you were born in Ohio, Ohio. Okay.

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.719
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say what city was it and

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>what type of town was it?

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 6>So Canton c A N t O N okay. It's

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 6>most known for the Football Hall of Fame is in Canton.

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>That's a sport of mirror.

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh okay, I get it.

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay, okay. So I went to school with Marilyn Manson.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 5>He's from Canton. Wow O. Jays are from Canton to

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:35.720
<v Speaker 5>the Barges.

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 6>Lebron's from from Akron, Act is like twenty minutes away.

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 6>It's like, you know, it's like the next little city over.

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 6>And then a bunch of people Steph Curry's from Akron.

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 6>Trying to think who else oh Hio.

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if it's quietly, but it's it's

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>definitely the heartbeat of America. Like yeah, for okay, okay,

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>So Steve's blame the sports to me? Why why why

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>are all the Hall of Fames of sports in Ohio?

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I understand why the rock and Roll Hall of Fame

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>is there because allegedly Alan Freed, they claim he coined

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the term rock and roll, but I tend to think

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 1>that he just stole it from whatever black person was

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>saying it. How he coined the term. So that's that's

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 1>why I know the rock and Roll Hall of Fames

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in Cleveland. But I mean just in terms of Cooperstown

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>or the football hall, like why.

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Is well, Cooperstown's in New York.

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>That's how much I don't know about the sports. But

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the actually right now, Like Bill, I

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think I've ever embarrassed you more. You're poundering your

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>future on this podcast based on that last question, and

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I just, yeah, Cooperstown is very much in New York.

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>That's okay, Hollows. That's how much I don't do the sports.

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>We know, we went. I went to a baseball game

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>with you, do you remember we had geese steaks. It

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>was a big night for the team lose when we

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>went probably yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 5>How can you don't like sports? Why don't you watch sports?

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>No, it's not that I don't like sports. I just

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>joke that, you know, you can't worship two gods. And

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>for me, there's music. People stick to music and sports

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>people stick to sports. And then some people get really

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.439
<v Speaker 1>really defensive when I say that, well, I like sports

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and I do music, And then behind their backs, I

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>be like.

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.720
<v Speaker 4>So you dedicated your life a little harder to music

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 4>than most a mirror.

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 7>So that's not healthy to just love one thing only

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 7>you know, like, come on, experience a little bit more

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 7>than that.

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>But do you meditate three hours a day? I played

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>play ball when I was a kid. I played kickball,

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:08.200

<v Speaker 5>I didn't. I didn't.

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 6>I kind of so I got really into Prince when

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 6>MTV came out.

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 5>When was MTV.

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Nineteen eighty one eighty four? Oh yeah, the TV was

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>good between eighty one and eighty five.

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so that's when I got really into like all

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 6>different stuff. That's when I really got in a rock

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 6>and roll. I was like a big Poison fan. I

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 6>like thought it was Van Hale and Reconds, and.

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 5>I got really into Prince.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 6>I painted my room purple and I saw the Night

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 6>I Saw Purple Rain I watched. I sat there for

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 6>three three shows. I sat there yep in a row.

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>What a time to be alive when you would have

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to sit and watch a movie over there again, thinking

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you would never see it again as long as you live.

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 5>I was obsessed with that. Wow. So after so that

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 5>was like, you know, my big fanatic is Prince. Prince.

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>So I mentioned at the top of the show, mhm

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that the the texture of your voice is probably the

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>most even when you talk, it's a it's a melodic

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a melodic sounding voice. Like did you always have

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 1>this texture in your voice even as a child? Like,

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>was this always like something that stood out from anyone

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>else that was speaking.

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I always had a unusual voice. And then when

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 6>but you know, when you're little and the kids make

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 6>funny so I stopped talking. I mean I know, I

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 6>didn't stop talking. It just made me really quiet, made

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 6>me shy and like I was. I didn't want to

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 6>speak because all the kids would start laughing, you know,

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 6>So I didn't talk much.

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Outside of maturity. What's the difference in your voice then

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 3>than now?

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 5>Like what it was?

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 3>It just way different or has it evolved into something?

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 3>Had it evolved in something different?

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 5>Well? Yeah, I grew up with me. I mean it's

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 5>changed for sure.

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 6>And then, uh, probably a lot of singing, you know,

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 6>because I took up vocal lessons for a while and

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 6>then and then you know when you go on tour,

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 6>that's like that's like practicing. That's like a two hour

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 6>vocal lesson every night. So oh so it's it's definitely changed.

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 6>But but yeah, I've always had a you know, funny voice.

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 5>They call it okay beautiful.

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Who was the first Do you remember the first concert

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you ever attended?

0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 6>Okay, So, my mom took me to see Michael jacks

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 6>So when I was super little, but on my own.

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 6>It was a Prince concert took me to see and

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.000
<v Speaker 6>I remember Michael Jackson running through the crowd and everybody,

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.160
<v Speaker 6>the little girls jumped on him and my mom grabbed his.

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Cheeks really like the bottle on his.

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 5>Face, on his face. But let me tell you how

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.959
<v Speaker 5>funny life is. So what was that last thing he did?

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.399
<v Speaker 5>It was like a big m t V. It was

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.120
<v Speaker 5>like m TV ten or something.

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.919
<v Speaker 1>Well he did something for that uh all of his

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>album titles.

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Invincible, I know it was like talking about the movie.

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 6>But no, it was a MTV remember that type his

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 6>bodyguard to beat up, beat up that guy.

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh god, that's my favorite moment. The dude from

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 1>is he is he from paulp at the World? Okay,

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>at the at the at the World, you know that

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.679
<v Speaker 1>award show where it's like the World Music Awards. It

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>feels so like staged. While he was performing, he was

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:16.639
<v Speaker 1>performing earth song, I think Jarvis Cocker. Uh is he

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:22.160
<v Speaker 1>in Pulp? I believe he decided to run on stage

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 1>and and moon Michael's performance, you know, like Michael was

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>doing that whole Jesus Angelic floating out the sky ship

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.359
<v Speaker 1>or whatever like save the Earth, and and then the

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 1>guy was just like this, you know this bullshit and

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:43.439
<v Speaker 1>just ran on stage and it became u it became

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>like a what do you call those like Charlie Chaplin

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 1>chase scenes like Keystone cops. Yeah, Like it was like

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.960
<v Speaker 1>six people chasing Jarvis Cocker while Michael Jackson's trying to

0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:00.199

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.119
<v Speaker 1>do you? What would you think you're come to Jesus moment?

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Was as far as you wanting uh to sing or

0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.639
<v Speaker 1>like did you form a band in high school or

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 1>any of those things? Like?

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:30.720
<v Speaker 6>Uh So, So I went to USC and I used

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 6>to hang out with all the music majors. I was

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 6>in a film school, and and I just gravitated to

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 6>the musicians because that's you know, I know how to

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.920
<v Speaker 6>pray and uh so, you know, in college, we I would,

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 6>we would form bands and stuff like that. So so

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 6>I met this kid, right, he had a four track.

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:50.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm giving away my age again. He had a four

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 5>track and.

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 6>He used to write songs and he was super cute

0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 6>and he was like, I told him I wrote songs

0:21:57.960 --> 0:21:59.400
<v Speaker 6>because I, you know, just so I could hang out

0:21:59.400 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 6>with him.

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 5>You know, I was trying to get it.

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So the.

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 6>Way I got attached to it, I started like writing songs,

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 6>and I you know, I really liked like you know,

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 6>and so you know, when you write a song, you

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.680
<v Speaker 6>have to kind of sing it, uh so the person knows.

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 5>How it goes.

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, for him, Yeah, I was writing songs for his tracks. Okay,

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.200
<v Speaker 6>so you know how so we had all these little

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 6>recordings of me having melody ideas on his songs.

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 5>And then one of his friends had every.

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 6>Sunday, uh like little brunch gig down at the Ramada

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:39.960
<v Speaker 6>Inn down by usc downtown LA, and and he needed

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:42.959
<v Speaker 6>a singer and we would all get we would all

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 6>get one hundred dollars every Sunday. And I had no

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 6>intention of being a singer. But when he told me

0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 6>I would get a hundred dollars, I was just like, yeah,

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 6>I'll sing it. And so I started doing a brunch

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 6>every Sunday money. I couldn't, you know, I didn't know

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:58.560
<v Speaker 6>anything about singing. And then he gave me all these

0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 6>little records, you know, stand to learn. So I learned

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 6>a bunch of jazz standards and stuff that and that

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.680
<v Speaker 6>that was the beginning. No, no, then I got into it.

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:12.959
<v Speaker 1>I like it so not not one person until that moment.

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.679
<v Speaker 1>I saw you as a lightning in a bottle moment

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 1>because like, again, the texture of your voice is like

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a music producer's dream to capture something that unusual

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and unique for singing. Like it's just like no one

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 1>had heard your voice. It was just like Jesus Christ,

0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:37.199
<v Speaker 1>like we got to get you at least in your

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:40.120
<v Speaker 1>teen years up up until you went to college, not

0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:42.760

<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, exactly.

0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 1>That's all I think at this rate. If you can

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 1>get a good meaning out of something like that's a win,

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 1>and yeah it's a win, it's like what magical point

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, seven seconds can you take from this moment?

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:41.439

<v Speaker 1>Stone jacket. It's like hand stitched.

<v Speaker 3>And I know he gave that up to feed somebody.

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:56.919
<v Speaker 3>I know he did.

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 5>Would that be three million dollars he gave so he

0:25:59.840 --> 0:26:00.480
<v Speaker 5>did something with.

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>That uh uh? Made of I think made of rubies,

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 1>not run.

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:11.679
<v Speaker 5>Made. And it should have cooked.

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:17.680
<v Speaker 6>For him and and and exercise every day and had

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 6>a pigs for him.

<v Speaker 5>Three million dollars.

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, he worried every thing that he's promoted so far

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>with this record.

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:26.640
<v Speaker 3>That jacket.

0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, the red jacket, that's you know, it's very expensive jacket.

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 5>What do you think of artists having to pay to

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 5>do the Super Bowl?

0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Artists were paying to do the same.

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:41.119
<v Speaker 4>Wait a minute now, I'll break the news. Now, what

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 4>are you saying that? What's going on now?

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 5>You have to pay to do halftime?

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 6>Well, you pay for your own show, which is cost

0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 6>him about five million dollars.

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:52.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he paid. I don't. I think you're

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 1>responding to did he pay to do it? No? They

0:26:56.240 --> 0:27:00.399
<v Speaker 1>they still have to come to you. They organized that rocket.

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 1>They came to him.

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 3>I get that part.

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you know what what you want to do

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to it depends on how deep your pocket took.

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:08.600
<v Speaker 4>They don't have a budget for a show, butch your

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:11.240
<v Speaker 4>What Jesus said was there is no budget for the show.

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 3>It's like, you can come. I would invite you to

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 3>come and then you can figure it out.

0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well, there's a limited budget, but if you want

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:19.200
<v Speaker 1>more than that's coming out of your pocket. So yes,

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:22.719
<v Speaker 1>in addition to those what two to three million dollars

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:25.879
<v Speaker 1>just for that jacket, I think he paid an additional

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:26.720
<v Speaker 1>seven million.

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 3>What's the.

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 5>That? Remember? Okay, so did it used to be like that?

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:34.359
<v Speaker 6>Though it started with Katy Perry was the first one

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 6>to pay to do halftime?

0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Wow?

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 5>That three years ago? Yeah?

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Wow?

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Well you got to make an impression and if you

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:44.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, sometimes it works for you.

0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Like what's the return? What's the return? So I was

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 3>about to say, what's the return on?

0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean it's.

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:50.720
<v Speaker 1>You.

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 7>I mean, if you if you know you're going to

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:57.360
<v Speaker 7>make twenty million dollars that night from streaming people streaming

0:27:57.400 --> 0:27:59.679
<v Speaker 7>your music or something like that, and you spend ten million,

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 7>you know, it's.

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Probably a scait of money. Don't make none situation. So

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I think I think at the time, maybe he agreed

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 1>to do it kind of thinking that it was going

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to be a victory lap. But I don't think he

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>was expecting to get shut out at the Grammys this year,

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:22.880
<v Speaker 1>so that kind of made it, uh man, that sort

0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:23.200
<v Speaker 1>of thing.

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 2>But you know, you should have taken the weekend off.

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:29.480
<v Speaker 1>There you go. See, this is where I would press

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:40.719
<v Speaker 1>words of wisdom. It mays, I know, I know often

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I can tell when critics are lazy when they start

0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 1>bringing up Billie Holliday, because I actually think your voice

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:54.360
<v Speaker 1>is closer to Esther Phillips. Was she at all an

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:57.760
<v Speaker 1>influence on you? Like the range and the tone of

0:28:57.760 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 1>your voice and the texture of it is more closer

0:28:59.720 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion too, Esther Phillips then Billie Holliday. But

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:09.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, not many people know of know of Esther

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Phillips and her catalog like that. But like, is there

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 1>is there a north star for you? Like someone that

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 1>vocally that you admired, Not in a Prince I'm a

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Prince fan way, but like, yeah, as far as you're singing,

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:27.280
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot.

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 6>You know, I think when you're into music, you listen

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 6>to a lot of different singers, and.

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 5>You know you can learn so much.

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:40.200
<v Speaker 6>So Billy Holliday is, uh, what's so magical about her

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:42.840
<v Speaker 6>is you can you can understand every word she says.

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 6>You know, She's not like she's not gonna get with

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 6>Houston and bulk out some crazy note.

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 5>But so I learned from her to get my words

0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:52.560
<v Speaker 5>in there, you know.

0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 6>And then uh so, like from like like I told you,

0:29:56.960 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 6>I liked uh, what's his name, David Lee from Van Halen,

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:01.480
<v Speaker 6>and like I.

0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Learned from them. I learned from him. Yeah, but I

0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 5>can scream because also.

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 6>And then you listen to like hip hop like Biggie,

0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:14.720
<v Speaker 6>like you learn to sing on rhythm, like learn to

0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 6>hit the beat, you know what I mean.

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 5>So there's all these lessons and I'm still learning.

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 6>You know, I'm trying to think Chaka Khan, you know,

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 6>or somebody like Uh. Fritz is interesting because he did

0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 6>so many things with his voice, Like he could go wow,

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 6>wow yo big well the picture and then he could

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:38.560
<v Speaker 6>do a falsetto. So I learned from him to try,

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, experiment with my voice and and and and

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.560
<v Speaker 6>hit high notes and stuff like that.

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, do you prefer singing in a lower range

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 1>or falsetto range?

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 5>No? I learned what else?

0:30:54.480 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 6>You know, there's a head voice your chest voice, and

0:30:57.400 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 6>I've learned to not have to use my so I

0:31:00.440 --> 0:31:01.560
<v Speaker 6>got all kind of voices.

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 1>It's okay. Is as a non singer, I'm gonna ask

0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>this question, is that really important? Like I know, uh,

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 1>vocal trainers or whatnot are real big on like sing

0:31:13.040 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>from your diaphragm, singing from your diaphragm. But why why

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:21.600
<v Speaker 1>why are most people that teach people to project, be

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it acting coaches or singers, why are they so insistent

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:30.320
<v Speaker 1>on singing from your diaphragm and not your.

0:31:31.280 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 5>Throat because it takes the work off of your throat

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 5>because your your vocal cords will wear out a lot

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 5>faster than your stomach.

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 6>You know, a proper singer, I can can sing from

0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 6>like I can sing from my cheeks.

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:48.240
<v Speaker 5>I can I can do all kinds of stuff.

0:31:48.520 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, the idea is to use your throat as

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:56.840
<v Speaker 6>as little as possible because your vocal cords can wear

0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 6>a lot faster. There's a lot of canceled shows stuff

0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 6>like that.

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I was going to ask if you're when you were

0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 1>actively touring, like how how much damage would have to

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>occur for you to cancel a show? Because even if

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:15.480
<v Speaker 1>you have a slightly hoarse or slightly scratched, sort of

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:18.280
<v Speaker 1>goes into what your tone already is.

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 6>But no, I've only I swear, I've only canceled two

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 6>shows in my whole career because of my voice. Okay,

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:28.280
<v Speaker 6>one show I missed because of you know, a couple

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:29.520
<v Speaker 6>of shows I missed because of the weather.

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 5>But my voice I got, Like I call myself super.

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:36.479
<v Speaker 6>Vocals because I like and and and when I when

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 6>I canceled, it was it was all karma against Seal.

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:42.400
<v Speaker 6>It really wasn't my fault, Like he was so off

0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 6>with me, and I think I messed my That guy

0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:48.080
<v Speaker 6>just reached down and it's like you don't have to

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 6>take the ship and it Seal.

0:32:56.640 --> 0:32:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Samuel see Seal.

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:02.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah that's a seal, the seal in the ocean. No,

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 5>but I opened for Seal for a couple of weeks

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 5>and it didn't go well. And that was the only

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:10.720
<v Speaker 5>tour that my voice, my voice ever punked out at me.

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't go well?

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 6>He's just, you know, just we just didn't connect. You know,

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 6>it wasn't you know, we want you know, I didn't

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 6>go like that. Well you know, when I when I

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:26.240
<v Speaker 6>opened for the Roots, that wasn't great. How was it

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:29.920
<v Speaker 6>that was my first my first tour you guys the roots?

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:30.400

<v Speaker 1>producing them. It's like the next to slum Village. That

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:10.120

<v Speaker 1>I haven't talked to I don't know if she's on

0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 1>social media or anything. I haven't talked to Dawn in

0:34:57.560 --> 0:35:02.720
<v Speaker 1>like ten years. Maybe. God, I keep I'm in denial

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 1>about what year we're living in. Yeah, I'll say like

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:09.080
<v Speaker 1>a few years back, thinking I'm talking about like two

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>thousand and four, two thousand and five.

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 4>But the year y'all talking about is that when the

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:17.399
<v Speaker 4>tour was two thousand and four tour it.

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Was too ninety nine two thousand. Wow, it came out

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:27.439
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and one, so I'll say ninety nine.

0:35:28.360 --> 0:35:31.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you're right, because it was before my I told

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 5>with you before my record broke. Wow.

0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she did you remember the time? You remember the

0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:39.640
<v Speaker 1>time you uh, I don't know. Maybe you were on

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:44.320
<v Speaker 1>tour with Dave Matthews. It was in Boston, Yeah, and

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you were drummerless and yeah.

0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:49.040
<v Speaker 5>I was thinking about that yesterday.

0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:51.480
<v Speaker 1>You called me on a whim and I tried to

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:53.760
<v Speaker 1>get up there, but it was like the weather was

0:35:53.760 --> 0:35:57.560
<v Speaker 1>was just hard. Did you did you do a drum

0:35:57.600 --> 0:35:58.399
<v Speaker 1>less show that night.

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:02.479
<v Speaker 6>No, no, I forget what we did, but I thought

0:36:02.480 --> 0:36:03.360
<v Speaker 6>about that yesterday.

0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 5>I was like, he was so cool, he was gonna

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:08.440
<v Speaker 5>fly out and do my show because you were on tour.

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Too, right, Yeah, I just never casually. I mean, that's

0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the first time where it was just like hey, I'll

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:16.960
<v Speaker 1>be like going out to get cigarettes, like hey, I'll

0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 1>be back running the Boston real quick to play for

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Mac at the stadium. Then.

0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:23.839
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but see that was like before I knew how,

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:26.799
<v Speaker 6>you know, how everybody was and how the music business was.

0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:28.920
<v Speaker 6>So I didn't think it was you know, I'm used

0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:31.279
<v Speaker 6>to being on the streets in La playing the rock seat,

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:33.600
<v Speaker 6>and you know, I'm used to saying, hey, will you

0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:34.880
<v Speaker 6>play drums for me tonight?

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:35.960
<v Speaker 5>So I didn't know like that.

0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:43.839
<v Speaker 6>Was a big request, you know, because you asked Quest

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:44.920
<v Speaker 6>to come fill in for you.

0:36:44.960 --> 0:36:47.600
<v Speaker 5>Are you? I was like, I mean, but I didn't know.

0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's the type of person I am. I

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:50.920
<v Speaker 1>like working.

0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:53.239
<v Speaker 4>Can we talk about lessons because because Mazie you said

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:55.640
<v Speaker 4>that your first time going on tour was with the Route,

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:58.520
<v Speaker 4>so like, yeah, of course we know their ultimate showmen

0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:01.960
<v Speaker 4>and whatnot, But so what were some of the lessons

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:04.600
<v Speaker 4>or things that you learned since that was your first experience.

0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:08.920
<v Speaker 6>Well, it was my first like real you know run

0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:13.640
<v Speaker 6>and uh we watched The Roots every night, so my

0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 6>band was really I remember my band was really fascinated

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.759
<v Speaker 6>with the Roots and they wanted to have that kind

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 6>of synergy.

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:28.480
<v Speaker 5>And I remember that. And then I remember partying a lot.

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:31.680
<v Speaker 5>You partied a lot because that was my first time

0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 5>and now just went crazy?

0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:35.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:38.560
<v Speaker 6>And I remember, you know, I remember drinking a lot

0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 6>and just having a really good time. I don't know

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:45.120
<v Speaker 6>if I was focused on learning, but my band was

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:46.839
<v Speaker 6>like did you.

0:37:46.920 --> 0:37:49.040
<v Speaker 5>Totally like we actually know it was.

0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:51.080
<v Speaker 6>It actually taught us how to tour, like because that

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:52.439
<v Speaker 6>was my first tour that I.

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 5>Learned how to go from city to city and get

0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 5>on stage every night, and and uh, you know, you

0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:00.520
<v Speaker 5>learn you have to learn how to how to talk

0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:01.280
<v Speaker 5>to your crowd.

0:38:01.320 --> 0:38:02.840
<v Speaker 6>You know a lot of artists don't get that you

0:38:02.920 --> 0:38:06.839
<v Speaker 6>really have to have a conversation with because if you

0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:08.160
<v Speaker 6>just sat up there and sing.

0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:09.000
<v Speaker 5>And they're not engaged with.

0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:16.480
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I remember, uh, really learning about being with different

0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 6>crowds because you play in New York, it's a different

0:38:19.040 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 6>crowd and when you go play and I don't know

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:23.520
<v Speaker 6>Saint Louis, you know, so I.

0:38:23.520 --> 0:38:25.360
<v Speaker 5>Remember learning how to adjust.

0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:28.359
<v Speaker 6>I remember that was because that was my first time

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:29.560
<v Speaker 6>I ever had to do that.

0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 1>If I recalled correctly, Yeah, I think is did you

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:40.880
<v Speaker 1>tell me that not that Epic wasn't your first choice?

0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:43.439
<v Speaker 1>But you you had a record deal before you signed

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the Epic.

0:38:44.520 --> 0:38:44.719
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 6>I was on Atlantic, uh like three years before my Epic.

0:38:48.960 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 5>Deal, but that never came out. Vow what was his name? No?

0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 6>No, no, Val didn't sign me. He was the president

0:38:55.160 --> 0:38:57.279
<v Speaker 6>at the time. But the guy who signed me was

0:38:57.320 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 6>Tom Caroline.

0:38:59.280 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I was thinking, and who's our guy social justice?

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Craig Well not Craig Helman. Bred about Jason.

0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:12.760
<v Speaker 5>I met Jason. I met with Jason.

0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 6>He turned me down. I met with him when he

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:17.960
<v Speaker 6>had lava. Does he still have lava?

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:19.320
<v Speaker 1>He still has lava?

0:39:20.320 --> 0:39:22.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he called me in though. He Jason was my

0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:27.400
<v Speaker 5>first record label meeting ever. Okay, okay, he heard he

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 5>got my demo tape.

0:39:29.480 --> 0:39:33.719
<v Speaker 1>So what what what happened in the Atlantic situation that

0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:35.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't work out that led you to Epic?

0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:41.080
<v Speaker 6>I got pregnant, I had and I and they didn't know,

0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 6>and and and my A and R came to the

0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:46.239
<v Speaker 6>studio and and and then I got dropped like right

0:39:46.280 --> 0:39:47.239
<v Speaker 6>after Yo.

0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Remember they could not they could do that, but I

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:53.120
<v Speaker 1>can't believe that for.

0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Decades, Like remember in the fifties and said, oh god no.

0:39:56.719 --> 0:39:59.840
<v Speaker 1>But even in the music world, like why why is

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 1>life over? Once? You know, I'm saying, like why would

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:10.240
<v Speaker 1>life be over in terms of the record label saying, well, let's.

0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Drop because men, because men run labels.

0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:14.839
<v Speaker 1>There you go.

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 6>I mean, still most most artists have babies way later.

0:40:19.200 --> 0:40:21.759
<v Speaker 6>Actresses you know, a lot of girls don't want to

0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:23.800
<v Speaker 6>mess their body up, though it's not always true.

0:40:24.440 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 4>And why do they want to mess their body up

0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:30.160
<v Speaker 4>when they why is that?

0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:32.759
<v Speaker 1>That's just crazy to me that I mean, was that

0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:35.160
<v Speaker 1>their exact reason or did they make up an excuse?

0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I assuming they made up an excuse. Oh okay, that's

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 1>what you mean. That's they just told you like, okay,

0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:47.919
<v Speaker 1>well you're pregnant, so this is over, goodbye. That's the label.

0:40:47.920 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 10>They can't work you as much as they could. You

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:52.000
<v Speaker 10>know that that's the thinking, you know what I mean.

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:54.200
<v Speaker 10>They once you have a kid, it's like, oh, well,

0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.680
<v Speaker 10>whatever we had planned for you to touring and the

0:40:56.719 --> 0:40:59.680
<v Speaker 10>studio and the running back and forth just all the time.

0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:01.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't that's no longer a possibility.

0:41:02.320 --> 0:41:06.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, But sir, if you just had a kid, come on,

0:41:06.200 --> 0:41:07.400
<v Speaker 4>let's go, because you know, you ain't got.

0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:10.200
<v Speaker 1>To stay home, you got to eat. Yeah, you got

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:15.640
<v Speaker 1>to make that money. Exactly. So did you get when

0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you arrived that epic? How much control were you given

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 1>as far as the direction you wanted your project to go?

0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:25.719
<v Speaker 5>Not a lot.

0:41:25.800 --> 0:41:29.680
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I had we had written the songs, most

0:41:29.680 --> 0:41:31.240
<v Speaker 6>of the songs on that first album.

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 5>We were on my little demo tape that they heard

0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:40.160
<v Speaker 5>and then but they hired this producer and Andy Slater.

0:41:40.800 --> 0:41:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh Slater, okay, Yeah, So his.

0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:46.560
<v Speaker 6>Concept he wanted to do because my my, the demos

0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:51.600
<v Speaker 6>were strictly like beats and and you know, with you

0:41:51.640 --> 0:41:54.799
<v Speaker 6>know bass program, you know, so he wanted to do

0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:57.960
<v Speaker 6>His concept was to do an R and B record

0:41:58.000 --> 0:42:01.400
<v Speaker 6>with live instruments. And I had no idea what that

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:03.600
<v Speaker 6>was all about. But I was just, you know, I

0:42:03.640 --> 0:42:05.440
<v Speaker 6>went with the floor. We had a lot of fights.

0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:07.680
<v Speaker 6>There was a lot of fights, me and him because

0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 6>because I was used to things the way I wanted

0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:12.000
<v Speaker 6>it like I wanted a.

0:42:11.920 --> 0:42:17.520
<v Speaker 5>Tuba on one song and he had a fit. But really, yeah,

0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:18.080
<v Speaker 5>he just.

0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:19.959
<v Speaker 6>You know he I think he had a really clear

0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:22.000
<v Speaker 6>vision and and I think he felt like he knew

0:42:22.000 --> 0:42:25.759
<v Speaker 6>what he was doing. So it was very you know,

0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:29.959
<v Speaker 6>draining for me making that record. But once it was done,

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 6>you know, I liked it.

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 5>And then and then it grew on me. I really

0:42:33.520 --> 0:42:35.480
<v Speaker 5>I really liked it, you know, much later.

0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm really dismayed that they didn't put a lot of

0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:43.840
<v Speaker 1>muscle behind uh do something, because I always felt like

0:42:45.000 --> 0:42:48.840
<v Speaker 1>out the gate and again I heard do something that

0:42:49.120 --> 0:42:53.759
<v Speaker 1>her her cover of Outcasts get up, get out and

0:42:54.200 --> 0:42:57.960
<v Speaker 1>get something. I instantly heard that. I was like, oh,

0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:00.319
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be across the board hit like this

0:43:00.480 --> 0:43:04.799
<v Speaker 1>is I can't I can't miss situation. And was it

0:43:04.960 --> 0:43:07.760
<v Speaker 1>just that, I mean they didn't know how to market

0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:11.680
<v Speaker 1>it or properly work it, or even get Outcasts to

0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:14.120
<v Speaker 1>do the remix or something like that. Like I just

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:17.160
<v Speaker 1>felt like it was such an easy allue shot that

0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:19.040
<v Speaker 1>really didn't get maximized.

0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that was an interesting time because uh, okay, so

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 6>someone got that. Someone I don't know who put it

0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:30.360
<v Speaker 6>all together, but they felt like it was really important

0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:33.480
<v Speaker 6>for me to go or to go to the urban

0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:37.320
<v Speaker 6>audience first. They felt like if I if I skipped

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:39.440
<v Speaker 6>over and went straight to I Try, I would I

0:43:39.440 --> 0:43:42.480
<v Speaker 6>wouldn't have that base or whatever. Like I said, this

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:44.440
<v Speaker 6>is the time I knew nothing about the record business.

0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:46.640
<v Speaker 6>So they did put out do something first, but it

0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:49.400
<v Speaker 6>was kind of put out as a setup track for

0:43:49.440 --> 0:43:52.239
<v Speaker 6>them to just get me out there and then and

0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:54.239
<v Speaker 6>then and then they couldn't.

0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:56.000
<v Speaker 5>Wait to get on I Try.

0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:59.279
<v Speaker 6>So I don't know if they didn't give it the

0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:02.840
<v Speaker 6>time it needed or it was just you know, just

0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:05.319
<v Speaker 6>kind of set me up and get me in all

0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:07.960
<v Speaker 6>the papers and stuff, and then and then they went

0:44:08.000 --> 0:44:10.080
<v Speaker 6>on the I Try, and then that was that was that,

0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:12.799
<v Speaker 6>you know. So I don't I don't know, like I

0:44:12.800 --> 0:44:14.400
<v Speaker 6>didn't know, Like I said, I didn't know what was

0:44:14.440 --> 0:44:16.840
<v Speaker 6>going on. They were like, you know, show up on

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:17.760
<v Speaker 6>forty second.

0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:20.520
<v Speaker 5>Street and I'll be there. I was. I was just

0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:21.560
<v Speaker 5>having fun, you know.

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I'll say I Try. Well, now that it's

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:31.120
<v Speaker 1>two decades old, what is your relationship with the song

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:34.560
<v Speaker 1>do you? Is it a thing where it's like, okay,

0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:37.439
<v Speaker 1>I dreaded having to still do this this long into

0:44:37.480 --> 0:44:41.680
<v Speaker 1>my career. You are you comfortable with still people coming

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:43.359
<v Speaker 1>up like, oh, that's my song or you know.

0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:45.600
<v Speaker 5>No, I love that song.

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:48.080
<v Speaker 6>I just hate that. That's some people only know me

0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:48.680
<v Speaker 6>for that song.

0:44:48.719 --> 0:44:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I hate for that.

0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I hate that. But no, you know what though,

0:44:52.719 --> 0:44:55.080
<v Speaker 5>you guys, I still don't get it.

0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:58.400
<v Speaker 6>I know it sounds stupid, but like I do my

0:44:58.480 --> 0:45:01.799
<v Speaker 6>shows and people like still scream on that song.

0:45:01.880 --> 0:45:02.719
<v Speaker 5>They still get up there.

0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:07.000
<v Speaker 6>Not every word, every ad lib, every beat, we still

0:45:07.000 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 6>have to do it on the end. So you lost

0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:14.320
<v Speaker 6>your song because I still don't get what I buss

0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:15.719
<v Speaker 6>is by. I mean, it's a good song, but I

0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 6>still don't get like classic song from twenty years I

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:19.400
<v Speaker 6>had no.

0:45:20.960 --> 0:45:22.759
<v Speaker 5>If I wouldn't have ever put money on that.

0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:28.239
<v Speaker 1>No, my theory on I Try was in this Rich,

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:32.480
<v Speaker 1>my manager, Rich and I had this conversation and we said,

0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:40.439
<v Speaker 1>if I Try as probably the best song that Al

0:45:40.560 --> 0:45:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Green could have maybe recorded or attempted to do in

0:45:46.920 --> 0:45:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the arts in ninety nine two thousand, if you were

0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:56.200
<v Speaker 1>allowed to like it, just it was a very I

0:45:56.239 --> 0:45:59.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know, it's like an authentic kind of you know

0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:02.760
<v Speaker 1>it was it was drifting, sort of an authentic soul

0:46:03.480 --> 0:46:07.120
<v Speaker 1>cloak that I think resonated with a lot of people,

0:46:07.480 --> 0:46:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know it and it took off, Like was

0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:15.040
<v Speaker 1>it was it exhausting at some point because you know,

0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:19.840
<v Speaker 1>there was some point where like literally every commercial, every

0:46:20.680 --> 0:46:28.799
<v Speaker 1>that record was everywhere it ran new book type of

0:46:28.880 --> 0:46:34.719
<v Speaker 1>romantic comedies like yeah, like in your in your head,

0:46:34.840 --> 0:46:36.600
<v Speaker 1>like what was so? What was that rush?

0:46:36.760 --> 0:46:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Once you hit jackpot, It's amazing.

0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:42.160
<v Speaker 6>You know, you get to see the world and everybody's

0:46:42.200 --> 0:46:44.799
<v Speaker 6>you know, sweating you and giving you free stuff, and

0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:49.240
<v Speaker 6>you know, you say boom and they get all excited, and.

0:46:49.239 --> 0:46:50.919
<v Speaker 5>You know, and you make a lot of money and

0:46:51.880 --> 0:46:54.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, people look up to you. It's cool. I don't.

0:46:54.320 --> 0:47:02.319
<v Speaker 6>I know, people complain about same, but I refuse.

0:46:59.520 --> 0:47:02.880
<v Speaker 5>Because I enjoyed it. I mean, it's there's other stuff,

0:47:02.920 --> 0:47:03.120
<v Speaker 5>you know.

0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:05.799
<v Speaker 6>That was the first time I like, you know, did

0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:09.000
<v Speaker 6>mushrooms and you know, stayed up for three days. I

0:47:09.000 --> 0:47:11.799
<v Speaker 6>mean a lot of stuff goes along with that. But

0:47:13.120 --> 0:47:15.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, I did a lot of shopping things I

0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:15.879
<v Speaker 6>couldn't buy it.

0:47:15.800 --> 0:47:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Before I had bought what's life like?

0:47:18.560 --> 0:47:20.120
<v Speaker 10>I was gonna ask you, if you talk about fame,

0:47:20.320 --> 0:47:23.200
<v Speaker 10>what's life like for you now? Is it still you know,

0:47:23.560 --> 0:47:25.839
<v Speaker 10>like crazy like that? Or are you able to go

0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:27.640
<v Speaker 10>to Trader Joe's in peace?

0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:28.040
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:29.080
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

0:47:29.160 --> 0:47:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:47:29.400 --> 0:47:31.560
<v Speaker 6>You know what I find is when you roll out alone,

0:47:31.600 --> 0:47:34.879
<v Speaker 6>nobody really bothers you. But when people take out eight

0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:35.919
<v Speaker 6>bodyguards and they.

0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Say, oh, you're drawing attention.

0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:40.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but when you roll out, especially now in a mask,

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:43.280
<v Speaker 6>even though it's crazy, people recognize me with a mask,

0:47:43.320 --> 0:47:43.920
<v Speaker 6>I don't get that.

0:47:44.000 --> 0:47:46.799
<v Speaker 5>So so but yeah, I'll go to the store all.

0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:49.400
<v Speaker 6>The time, and I mean it's cool, it's not. No,

0:47:49.440 --> 0:47:52.400
<v Speaker 6>it's not nearly as crazy as it used to be.

0:47:52.400 --> 0:47:56.560
<v Speaker 5>But I still tour a lot, and I love touring.

0:47:56.640 --> 0:47:57.560
<v Speaker 5>That's like my heaven.

0:47:58.200 --> 0:48:00.560
<v Speaker 4>How did you manage to maintain all of that and

0:48:00.600 --> 0:48:03.120
<v Speaker 4>then still be mommy to three babes?

0:48:04.760 --> 0:48:06.600
<v Speaker 5>Oh? You know, I just lock them in the closet

0:48:06.600 --> 0:48:07.240
<v Speaker 5>when I'm gone.

0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:12.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm afraid to ask this question. How old is

0:48:12.760 --> 0:48:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Happy now?

0:48:14.080 --> 0:48:15.680
<v Speaker 5>Twenty three?

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:17.399
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Is that your oldest? Your youngest?

0:48:22.040 --> 0:48:27.400
<v Speaker 5>My youngest is twenty five, remember Ni bel.

0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Like in my mind your kids are still three.

0:48:32.880 --> 0:48:35.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, she came home one of the drum set.

0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Happy is like a past college now.

0:48:39.880 --> 0:48:41.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, she has one more year. She she took some

0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:44.960
<v Speaker 5>time off she's a photography major and she got an

0:48:45.000 --> 0:48:46.960
<v Speaker 5>internship and then and now she's going back to.

0:48:47.000 --> 0:48:50.440
<v Speaker 6>Finish and and it's online. It's such a drag. I

0:48:50.480 --> 0:48:54.440
<v Speaker 6>feel so bad for her. For students, so glad I'm

0:48:54.480 --> 0:48:57.840
<v Speaker 6>not in school, but they're.

0:48:57.719 --> 0:49:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Old old I'm sorry that threw me for y'all. I

0:49:00.480 --> 0:49:05.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't ready for it, say, like fifteen fourteen, like, oh yeah, happy,

0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:06.720
<v Speaker 1>he's about to start in high school.

0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:08.680
<v Speaker 4>Have they been around during this COVID time? Like, are

0:49:08.680 --> 0:49:11.359
<v Speaker 4>you guys in vicinity close vitinities each other?

0:49:11.960 --> 0:49:14.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? At first when I first started, my my mother

0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:14.600
<v Speaker 5>was here.

0:49:14.680 --> 0:49:17.640
<v Speaker 6>My mother has cancer, so everybody was extra careful not

0:49:17.680 --> 0:49:21.080
<v Speaker 6>to really do too much. But now I don't know,

0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:25.160
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. It's hard to, you know, keep that up.

0:49:25.160 --> 0:49:28.040
<v Speaker 6>It's been a year, hard to sit around the house again.

0:49:28.120 --> 0:49:30.520
<v Speaker 4>And you know, you got generations z babies. I know

0:49:30.560 --> 0:49:31.879
<v Speaker 4>they were just like I'm going out.

0:49:32.800 --> 0:49:33.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah I did.

0:49:33.440 --> 0:49:36.879
<v Speaker 6>I did tell them no company, you know, But now

0:49:36.960 --> 0:49:38.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, I've come home sometime and it's a little

0:49:39.480 --> 0:49:41.440
<v Speaker 6>you know, straight straight people.

0:49:49.360 --> 0:49:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So okay, Now I have a question mine of

0:49:55.680 --> 0:50:00.160
<v Speaker 1>your catalog And I'm not being biased like the I

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:05.640
<v Speaker 1>was always my favorite, and of course I know about

0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the do you do you subscribe to the to the

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the nine to eleven Jinks of of all those records

0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:16.959
<v Speaker 1>in case I don't know, like there were at least

0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:24.279
<v Speaker 1>seventeen albums that were released between uh September eleventh, two

0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:28.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand and one and uh like the subsequent week like

0:50:28.040 --> 0:50:34.239
<v Speaker 1>September seventeenth, of which you know, because of where the

0:50:34.280 --> 0:50:38.359
<v Speaker 1>country was during that time period, you know, a lot

0:50:38.400 --> 0:50:42.760
<v Speaker 1>of albums just fell by the wayside, kind of just landed.

0:50:42.800 --> 0:50:46.440
<v Speaker 1>And with the exception of like the Blueprint, but you know,

0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:52.200
<v Speaker 1>everyone like Mariah's Glitter, like everything, movies, everything, did it

0:50:52.280 --> 0:50:57.160
<v Speaker 1>disappoint you that? Or you know, did Epic not at

0:50:57.200 --> 0:50:59.799
<v Speaker 1>least try to like do a re release or just

0:51:00.960 --> 0:51:03.319
<v Speaker 1>you know in time, like why did they just let

0:51:03.760 --> 0:51:06.839
<v Speaker 1>I thought that album was so brilliant and you know

0:51:07.320 --> 0:51:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it's due to unfortunate timing, but what were your feelings

0:51:10.880 --> 0:51:14.080
<v Speaker 1>of it at the time? And also why wasn't I'm

0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:18.239
<v Speaker 1>So Mad You Meet Shed a hidden track and not.

0:51:19.080 --> 0:51:20.320
<v Speaker 5>That was the Tuba track?

0:51:22.040 --> 0:51:24.400
<v Speaker 6>Dude, I don't want to get back to the Tuba

0:51:24.440 --> 0:51:26.120
<v Speaker 6>track I was telling you about.

0:51:26.160 --> 0:51:28.440
<v Speaker 1>That is my all time I still play shed in

0:51:28.440 --> 0:51:32.600
<v Speaker 1>my DJ sets now like shed my ship. But it

0:51:32.640 --> 0:51:35.960
<v Speaker 1>was a hidden track, So like, why why did they

0:51:35.960 --> 0:51:40.759
<v Speaker 1>at least try to revive it or did they just say, like, look,

0:51:40.880 --> 0:51:45.040
<v Speaker 1>just go back in the studio and start the what

0:51:45.200 --> 0:51:47.640
<v Speaker 1>was the next one? The trouble with being myself like

0:51:48.640 --> 0:51:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to start on that. But what was the what was

0:51:51.520 --> 0:51:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the situation at the time.

0:51:54.200 --> 0:51:58.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think I think the label was disappointed. Like

0:51:58.080 --> 0:52:01.080
<v Speaker 6>I said, I was still chilling, you know not, but

0:52:01.280 --> 0:52:04.560
<v Speaker 6>people forget I sell most of my records overseas and

0:52:05.200 --> 0:52:08.080
<v Speaker 6>I sold four million copies that I Reckon in Europe

0:52:08.120 --> 0:52:13.279
<v Speaker 6>and the UK. But I know here there was kind

0:52:13.320 --> 0:52:15.840
<v Speaker 6>of a you know, what do you call it? Not

0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:19.719
<v Speaker 6>a letdown but anti cloud whatever, you know.

0:52:19.640 --> 0:52:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Because they hyped it up.

0:52:20.840 --> 0:52:22.640
<v Speaker 6>There you go, they hyped it up and it didn't

0:52:22.680 --> 0:52:26.319
<v Speaker 6>do as well as as they they wanted it to, but.

0:52:26.280 --> 0:52:26.839
<v Speaker 5>It did well.

0:52:27.160 --> 0:52:28.759
<v Speaker 1>I think if it weren't for nine to eleven, it

0:52:28.800 --> 0:52:35.560
<v Speaker 1>would have been a different story. But yeah, I always

0:52:36.120 --> 0:52:41.120
<v Speaker 1>rec Yeah, wait a minute, it just hit me. This

0:52:41.160 --> 0:52:43.640
<v Speaker 1>is what I always wanted to know. Okay, So when

0:52:43.680 --> 0:52:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you were promoting when you were promoting the id MHM,

0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:52.040
<v Speaker 1>there was an interview and Vibe magazine. Do you guys

0:52:52.120 --> 0:52:52.920
<v Speaker 1>remember this at all?

0:52:53.360 --> 0:52:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Give me more. I'm waiting for it.

0:52:56.600 --> 0:53:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like that it was. But I feel because the

0:53:03.160 --> 0:53:07.040
<v Speaker 1>thing was because there wasn't because it wasn't social media,

0:53:07.080 --> 0:53:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, even though it was two thousand and one

0:53:08.560 --> 0:53:13.520
<v Speaker 1>and we were like definitely living in uh social media

0:53:13.719 --> 0:53:20.480
<v Speaker 1>esque times. But I just remember how people responded. I

0:53:20.520 --> 0:53:23.440
<v Speaker 1>think Marco Marco Watson.

0:53:23.080 --> 0:53:27.560
<v Speaker 5>Who I cannot believe you remember that. That is insane, dude.

0:53:27.960 --> 0:53:34.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what my obsession is. I remember every attempted

0:53:34.920 --> 0:53:42.319
<v Speaker 1>takedown article of any black artist that I ever, you know,

0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:46.759
<v Speaker 1>loved or that sort of thing. So aux right M

0:53:46.760 --> 0:53:49.719
<v Speaker 1>A R G E A U X. Well she I

0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:52.040
<v Speaker 1>think she's a music executive now, but back when she

0:53:52.120 --> 0:53:54.600
<v Speaker 1>was a journalist, I mean she did a Q and

0:53:54.680 --> 0:53:57.239
<v Speaker 1>A with with Masie and Vibe, and I think that

0:53:57.280 --> 0:54:01.560
<v Speaker 1>people were just like thrown off by the interview you and.

0:54:01.360 --> 0:54:03.960
<v Speaker 6>But that she screwed me because she wasn't a cut

0:54:04.000 --> 0:54:05.520
<v Speaker 6>and as she came over with my house, we hung

0:54:05.560 --> 0:54:08.120
<v Speaker 6>out for two days. Right, I thought she was like

0:54:08.160 --> 0:54:09.239
<v Speaker 6>my best friend by the time.

0:54:09.400 --> 0:54:09.560
<v Speaker 5>It was.

0:54:11.920 --> 0:54:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So I thought I'm telling.

0:54:13.880 --> 0:54:15.640
<v Speaker 6>Her like like I just told y'all, you know, I

0:54:15.680 --> 0:54:19.640
<v Speaker 6>went over. I did mushroom, you know, you know, I'll

0:54:19.680 --> 0:54:21.279
<v Speaker 6>kissed somebody, you know what I mean. I'm talking to

0:54:21.320 --> 0:54:23.640
<v Speaker 6>her like she's my girl, even though she wasn't. I

0:54:23.680 --> 0:54:25.680
<v Speaker 6>was that could have been my mistake, and then she

0:54:25.800 --> 0:54:28.120
<v Speaker 6>put it on in the article and I just I

0:54:28.160 --> 0:54:30.719
<v Speaker 6>didn't know that she would do that. So that's just

0:54:31.120 --> 0:54:33.360
<v Speaker 6>something I learned the hard way. But you know, you

0:54:33.440 --> 0:54:36.239
<v Speaker 6>just can't be telling people stuff like that. But I

0:54:36.239 --> 0:54:39.600
<v Speaker 6>didn't know. I gave her a proper interview, but she

0:54:39.640 --> 0:54:43.279
<v Speaker 6>took all the stuff I told her off the record, Yeah,

0:54:43.360 --> 0:54:44.040
<v Speaker 6>off the regular.

0:54:44.960 --> 0:54:47.480
<v Speaker 5>I see, like she says, so have you ever blah

0:54:47.480 --> 0:54:50.080
<v Speaker 5>blah blah, And I said, girl, you know.

0:54:50.840 --> 0:54:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Right, it would have been like her talking just to

0:54:55.640 --> 0:54:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you like you so but I could have been sister

0:54:59.560 --> 0:55:01.480
<v Speaker 1>girl by thing. But instead, you know.

0:55:03.000 --> 0:55:05.920
<v Speaker 6>But in her defense, she sent me the actual article

0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:09.719
<v Speaker 6>that she wrote because I called her right away, and

0:55:09.760 --> 0:55:13.399
<v Speaker 6>her whoever the editor was at the time, totally just

0:55:13.560 --> 0:55:18.239
<v Speaker 6>picked out those parts because the article she wrote wasn't

0:55:18.239 --> 0:55:21.799
<v Speaker 6>that bad like the things that were, you know, not

0:55:22.160 --> 0:55:26.160
<v Speaker 6>so right, you know, so godly she.

0:55:26.719 --> 0:55:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I know the editor too, and I got beef with

0:55:28.719 --> 0:55:29.800
<v Speaker 1>her too, But I'll.

0:55:29.600 --> 0:55:31.640
<v Speaker 5>Be nice, Yeah, she totally.

0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:33.759
<v Speaker 6>I don't know why she came after me like that,

0:55:34.000 --> 0:55:36.239
<v Speaker 6>but it it wasn't.

0:55:35.920 --> 0:55:38.719
<v Speaker 5>All Marbo her article. I wish I still had it,

0:55:38.760 --> 0:55:39.279
<v Speaker 5>I think I do.

0:55:39.600 --> 0:55:42.279
<v Speaker 6>But her article wasn't that bad. Like if her article

0:55:42.320 --> 0:55:45.960
<v Speaker 6>has been published, it wouldn't have been that bad, right.

0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I see now. I always wanted to know, like what,

0:55:50.000 --> 0:55:51.879
<v Speaker 1>because I knew like people were thrown off and then

0:55:52.000 --> 0:55:54.160
<v Speaker 1>like you didn't hear anything about it, But I always

0:55:54.160 --> 0:55:55.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to know what you felt.

0:55:56.480 --> 0:55:58.560
<v Speaker 6>Yes, So I begged my label to let me speak

0:55:58.600 --> 0:56:01.280
<v Speaker 6>on it, and they thought if I if I said anything,

0:56:01.360 --> 0:56:03.000
<v Speaker 6>I would bring attention to it. But I was like,

0:56:03.040 --> 0:56:04.280
<v Speaker 6>everybody read it already.

0:56:04.719 --> 0:56:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know more attention.

0:56:07.520 --> 0:56:09.440
<v Speaker 4>Would y'all just random question now that you said that,

0:56:09.480 --> 0:56:11.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, would y'all trade coming out then to now

0:56:12.000 --> 0:56:13.279
<v Speaker 4>in a social media error?

0:56:13.880 --> 0:56:14.120
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:56:14.440 --> 0:56:16.520
<v Speaker 4>Okay, because I mean, if it was social media, you

0:56:16.560 --> 0:56:18.479
<v Speaker 4>could have just said what you needed to say, right,

0:56:18.560 --> 0:56:19.280
<v Speaker 4>But yeah.

0:56:19.239 --> 0:56:20.080
<v Speaker 5>No not.

0:56:21.760 --> 0:56:24.000
<v Speaker 6>Because back in the back in the day, we made

0:56:24.040 --> 0:56:25.560
<v Speaker 6>we made a lot more money. We had a lot

0:56:25.600 --> 0:56:29.440
<v Speaker 6>more fun sitting here all that word about that posh

0:56:29.600 --> 0:56:34.360
<v Speaker 6>like we was out partying, you know, having fun, selling records,

0:56:34.360 --> 0:56:35.360
<v Speaker 6>you know.

0:56:35.000 --> 0:56:37.840
<v Speaker 1>But I also think I don't think that there was

0:56:37.880 --> 0:56:41.560
<v Speaker 1>anything that scandalous in the article. So I think in

0:56:41.600 --> 0:56:45.680
<v Speaker 1>this particular case, if Twitter were a thing in two

0:56:45.719 --> 0:56:49.040
<v Speaker 1>thousand and one, it probably, you know, probably could have

0:56:49.080 --> 0:56:54.400
<v Speaker 1>been cleared instantly, whereas like because there was no explanation

0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:56.759
<v Speaker 1>of it and just it was left out there in

0:56:56.800 --> 0:56:59.239
<v Speaker 1>the you know, kind of there in the in the

0:56:59.360 --> 0:57:03.200
<v Speaker 1>atmosphere that it just caused a lot of confusion at

0:57:03.200 --> 0:57:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the time.

0:57:04.480 --> 0:57:06.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was that that really hurt me. That was

0:57:06.640 --> 0:57:09.120
<v Speaker 6>I was down about that for a long time. It

0:57:09.120 --> 0:57:12.160
<v Speaker 6>took me a while to get over that. Yeah, because

0:57:12.200 --> 0:57:14.239
<v Speaker 6>you know, it's not always just she was like when

0:57:14.239 --> 0:57:18.160
<v Speaker 6>your mom reads it, you know, right, and your family

0:57:18.200 --> 0:57:20.520
<v Speaker 6>and and they're looking at you sideways, like girl.

0:57:24.680 --> 0:57:29.560
<v Speaker 1>During this time period, you were you know, getting your

0:57:29.640 --> 0:57:34.400
<v Speaker 1>your acting chops on. Mm hmm, especially with like I

0:57:34.440 --> 0:57:38.560
<v Speaker 1>think you did Idle Wild, uh like a Want of Blues,

0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you did Spider, then you did training especially training day.

0:57:45.000 --> 0:57:46.760
<v Speaker 1>What was what was training day?

0:57:46.920 --> 0:57:47.000
<v Speaker 5>Like?

0:57:48.200 --> 0:57:51.520
<v Speaker 6>It was wild because Uh, okay, so I'm in the

0:57:51.600 --> 0:57:57.720
<v Speaker 6>studio and that's my manager said, Antoine wants to stop

0:57:57.760 --> 0:57:58.560
<v Speaker 6>by and meet you.

0:57:59.240 --> 0:57:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

0:58:00.040 --> 0:58:02.680
<v Speaker 6>I didn't really know who he was, and uh, I

0:58:02.720 --> 0:58:04.480
<v Speaker 6>was like, okay, whatever, and then he goes, you know,

0:58:04.480 --> 0:58:06.160
<v Speaker 6>I want you to be in my movie. So I thought,

0:58:06.280 --> 0:58:08.040
<v Speaker 6>you know, someone was wrong with him because I don't

0:58:08.080 --> 0:58:09.200
<v Speaker 6>have any acting background.

0:58:09.200 --> 0:58:11.280
<v Speaker 5>I had no interest in acting.

0:58:12.040 --> 0:58:13.800
<v Speaker 6>And then he goes, you know, let's so he hung

0:58:13.840 --> 0:58:16.080
<v Speaker 6>out at the studio and then he said, let's go

0:58:16.120 --> 0:58:18.240
<v Speaker 6>to a dinner tomorrow. So we went to mister Childs

0:58:19.200 --> 0:58:20.920
<v Speaker 6>and he's sitting there. He's telling me all about his

0:58:21.000 --> 0:58:24.280
<v Speaker 6>movie and then he says, you know, yeah, and uh,

0:58:24.520 --> 0:58:29.000
<v Speaker 6>the guy who's playing this characters is Denzel Washington. So

0:58:29.080 --> 0:58:35.440
<v Speaker 6>I was like, what you know? So then so then

0:58:35.480 --> 0:58:36.880
<v Speaker 6>I got all into it. You know, then I was

0:58:36.960 --> 0:58:38.720
<v Speaker 6>called my marriage. I was like, get I want to

0:58:38.720 --> 0:58:42.720
<v Speaker 6>do that movie, and and then you know, I got

0:58:42.840 --> 0:58:47.280
<v Speaker 6>serious about it eventually, but uh, at first, I was

0:58:47.360 --> 0:58:49.960
<v Speaker 6>just you know, just putting my heart out because I

0:58:50.000 --> 0:58:52.840
<v Speaker 6>had no skill or background in acting.

0:58:52.880 --> 0:58:54.480
<v Speaker 5>So that was all heart, you know what I mean?

0:58:55.200 --> 0:58:55.920
<v Speaker 1>That shining through.

0:58:56.000 --> 0:58:58.600
<v Speaker 10>I really I really enjoyed watching you as as an actress,

0:58:58.600 --> 0:59:00.840
<v Speaker 10>and I always wanted if you had plans to do more,

0:59:00.880 --> 0:59:02.920
<v Speaker 10>because you really you really pop on screen.

0:59:03.800 --> 0:59:05.640
<v Speaker 5>Thank you. But he's cool.

0:59:05.880 --> 0:59:08.320
<v Speaker 6>I went to his trailer and he gave me some

0:59:08.360 --> 0:59:12.040
<v Speaker 6>advice and he was very I forget the name of

0:59:12.080 --> 0:59:12.560
<v Speaker 6>his character.

0:59:12.560 --> 0:59:19.280
<v Speaker 1>What was his character's name, Scary, No, not Lonzo, it

0:59:19.360 --> 0:59:27.200
<v Speaker 1>was Fronte is the most memorized, like walking I am

0:59:27.320 --> 0:59:29.880
<v Speaker 1>d b every actor.

0:59:29.600 --> 0:59:34.280
<v Speaker 5>For every character, but he was very much in character.

0:59:34.360 --> 0:59:35.960
<v Speaker 5>He was like, it was like in his eyes it

0:59:36.040 --> 0:59:36.760
<v Speaker 5>was kind of scary.

0:59:36.840 --> 0:59:37.680
<v Speaker 3>What was his advice?

0:59:39.640 --> 0:59:41.560
<v Speaker 5>He said, just if you don't know what to do,

0:59:41.760 --> 0:59:45.040
<v Speaker 5>just just be you doing your part.

0:59:46.000 --> 0:59:47.760
<v Speaker 3>It's what he does that's hilarious.

0:59:49.320 --> 0:59:52.240
<v Speaker 1>So he had the same character that whole time to

0:59:52.280 --> 0:59:52.959
<v Speaker 1>not break it.

0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:56.440
<v Speaker 5>Or Yeah, he was in the trailer like he had

0:59:56.480 --> 0:59:58.280
<v Speaker 5>this look in his eyes. I'll never forget.

0:59:58.920 --> 1:00:02.240
<v Speaker 6>I thought like he and he was watching Ken Burns

1:00:02.240 --> 1:00:09.160
<v Speaker 6>documentary on was it on Felonious Monk And I think he.

1:00:09.120 --> 1:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Felt like that.

1:00:11.680 --> 1:00:13.920
<v Speaker 6>I think that's what his character would watch. But he

1:00:13.960 --> 1:00:17.920
<v Speaker 6>had the whole set and he was just watching documentary

1:00:17.920 --> 1:00:20.600
<v Speaker 6>at the documentary and his channel, which.

1:00:20.680 --> 1:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Now which my relationship is based on Felonious Monks. Kim

1:00:25.240 --> 1:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the Kim Burns Stalone's documentary.

1:00:27.520 --> 1:00:29.960
<v Speaker 5>By the way, Yeah, that's wild because that's that's what

1:00:30.040 --> 1:00:30.680
<v Speaker 5>he was watching.

1:00:30.840 --> 1:00:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Training day was project number what for you?

1:00:33.360 --> 1:00:34.960
<v Speaker 5>That was my first movie.

1:00:37.480 --> 1:00:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Can I ask you about filming and Philly and doing

1:00:40.160 --> 1:00:44.720

<v Speaker 5>Just no, yeah, yeah, can.

1:00:51.520 --> 1:00:54.080
<v Speaker 4>You talk about that and how that came about and

1:00:54.120 --> 1:00:56.600
<v Speaker 4>what was it like doing Bad Way?

1:00:56.600 --> 1:00:59.320
<v Speaker 5>It was the same Lee. Lee came to see me

1:00:59.440 --> 1:01:00.480
<v Speaker 5>and that you know, that.

1:01:00.480 --> 1:01:06.120

<v Speaker 5>Okay, Damon gave him the money. Yeah, and so.

1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I've seen the clip I went.

1:01:22.120 --> 1:01:24.120
<v Speaker 5>I went to a party with Lee and Lee is

1:01:24.240 --> 1:01:27.080
<v Speaker 5>like he'll just walk up to people and say, I'm

1:01:27.080 --> 1:01:29.080
<v Speaker 5>making a movie. This was way back when he was

1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:31.280
<v Speaker 5>starting out. I'm trying to make this movie. You got

1:01:31.280 --> 1:01:32.880
<v Speaker 5>their money, like seriously, like.

1:01:34.400 --> 1:01:35.360
<v Speaker 4>All day.

<v Speaker 5>Door he was me.

<v Speaker 6>He wouldn't care and I've never seen that before, no fear,

1:01:44.800 --> 1:01:45.880
<v Speaker 6>and he raised the money.

1:01:46.640 --> 1:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>But that is very much a d Daniel's thing.

1:01:49.480 --> 1:01:50.240
<v Speaker 3>That's my favorite.

1:01:51.800 --> 1:01:56.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Oh really wow, I just yeah, so we hit

1:01:56.760 --> 1:01:58.880
<v Speaker 5>it off and then I did the movie.

1:02:00.040 --> 1:02:03.160
<v Speaker 4>It's cool, but you didn't answer if asked, are you

1:02:03.280 --> 1:02:05.880
<v Speaker 4>are you planning on getting jumping back into a little

1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:07.400
<v Speaker 4>bit of acting. I know you've got an album you're

1:02:07.400 --> 1:02:09.200
<v Speaker 4>working on and whatnot, but what about the acting.

1:02:09.520 --> 1:02:09.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

<v Speaker 6>No, my record's coming out, and then I'm doing a

1:02:11.720 --> 1:02:13.959
<v Speaker 6>movie in October, and then I got a horror flick

1:02:14.040 --> 1:02:15.080
<v Speaker 6>coming out in April.

1:02:15.160 --> 1:02:19.360
<v Speaker 5>I did my first horror movie, really really with who

1:02:19.840 --> 1:02:25.360
<v Speaker 5>assist this new girl? Her name is Jess Farley, just Varley.

1:02:25.600 --> 1:02:27.680
<v Speaker 5>She's only twenty six. It's the first movie.

1:02:28.120 --> 1:02:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I got a sick mind.

1:02:31.320 --> 1:02:40.600
<v Speaker 5>It's actually pretty good a shot, really really good, Mace.

1:02:40.960 --> 1:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I totally forgot one of my all time favorite moments

1:02:46.680 --> 1:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>with you in any medium. M you gotta tell me.

1:02:54.040 --> 1:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if you remember this or I

1:02:55.800 --> 1:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if you know what how how viral

1:03:00.880 --> 1:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>this moment was. But do you have any memories whatsoever

1:03:04.640 --> 1:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>of the New Year's Eve night of twenty thirteen, that

1:03:11.160 --> 1:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>whole Jamie Kennedy thing with Bone Thugs and Harmony and

1:03:14.440 --> 1:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you and whoever else was on that show. Have you

1:03:18.120 --> 1:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>guys ever seen this clip at all? This is a

1:03:20.160 --> 1:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>hell of a setup.

1:03:21.120 --> 1:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>If you don't remember what yeh? God?

1:03:23.680 --> 1:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And there were midgets and like, no, you guys

1:03:29.720 --> 1:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>don't this you know again, was this two thousand? I

1:03:34.400 --> 1:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>think it was twenty eleven, twenty twelve, whatever it was.

1:03:39.960 --> 1:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>If the only way I can describe it is if

1:03:43.400 --> 1:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>if the white version of Funky Finger Productions from a

1:03:46.640 --> 1:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>living color, if they were allowed to throw Dick Clark's

1:03:51.880 --> 1:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Rock and New Year's Eve Special, but kind of with

1:03:55.560 --> 1:04:00.640
<v Speaker 1>a finesse of like Wayne's World, like public access. So

1:04:00.680 --> 1:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the things where like, you know, the

1:04:03.120 --> 1:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>host doesn't know the cameras on him, and they'll be like,

1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>wat told the pitcher, give me some fried chicken. Huh oh, yeah,

1:04:10.720 --> 1:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Like there's a lot of that. A fistfight breaks out

1:04:15.000 --> 1:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>on stage over two drunk girls, a bone you know,

1:04:18.880 --> 1:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>busy bone was in rare busy bone moment and if oh.

1:04:25.080 --> 1:04:29.720
<v Speaker 6>You don't even know my band got robbed wait that night, Yeah,

1:04:29.960 --> 1:04:32.200
<v Speaker 6>that's not even yeah, I.

1:04:32.160 --> 1:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Was going to say it. Just just google Jamie Kennedy

1:04:36.520 --> 1:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>New Year's Eve Special, Los Angeles and I'm good right now.

1:04:39.960 --> 1:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the greatest. I think the version that's

1:04:43.080 --> 1:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>on the internet now is sort of a condensed like

1:04:45.440 --> 1:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe six minute version, but the entire production is and

1:04:49.760 --> 1:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>like Macy counts down to midnight and it's still like

1:04:54.120 --> 1:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe like eleven o four. She's like, it's like three

1:05:03.320 --> 1:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>two one, and the producers are like, no, Macy's not

1:05:05.560 --> 1:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>even midnight. He said, well, so just act like it's

1:05:08.360 --> 1:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>New Year's half and then you know, like it. It

1:05:12.160 --> 1:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>was so horrible that I knew that I knew it

1:05:17.440 --> 1:05:23.280
<v Speaker 1>was like MacArthur MacArthur genius levels of just excellence. That's

1:05:23.280 --> 1:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>how bad it was. It was the best thing I've

1:05:25.240 --> 1:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>ever seen in my life.

1:05:26.440 --> 1:05:28.440
<v Speaker 3>It's called a fail on a couple of the videos.

1:05:28.520 --> 1:05:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you got it, you gotta watch it. I mean,

1:05:33.360 --> 1:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I discovered after seeing if there were any

1:05:36.080 --> 1:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>more busy bone moments that need to be witnessed besides

1:05:41.200 --> 1:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>his uh, I'm saying this lightly his drunken rant, but

1:05:45.680 --> 1:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>box it wasn't alcohol.

1:05:48.200 --> 1:05:50.000
<v Speaker 5>And they had us in the same dressing room.

1:05:50.080 --> 1:05:52.120
<v Speaker 6>Well it was like a big room, but the room

1:05:52.560 --> 1:05:55.520
<v Speaker 6>and there was like a little divider between us.

1:05:55.840 --> 1:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>So you weren't aware that this was like a highly

1:05:58.440 --> 1:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>viral movement for the internet.

1:06:00.480 --> 1:06:01.160
<v Speaker 4>No, we are.

1:06:01.400 --> 1:06:03.760
<v Speaker 5>First of all, we were super drunk. Everybody was drunk.

1:06:03.920 --> 1:06:04.560
<v Speaker 5>But I didn't know.

1:06:04.640 --> 1:06:07.160
<v Speaker 6>I've been drunk on New Year's even done shows great.

1:06:07.360 --> 1:06:08.360
<v Speaker 6>I didn't know it was gonna go.

1:06:08.960 --> 1:06:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it wasn't the drunk part. Yes, there was a

1:06:11.440 --> 1:06:14.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of drunk parts, but it was just like the

1:06:14.040 --> 1:06:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the production was horrible. Everything was shanky, the you know,

1:06:17.880 --> 1:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the jokes weren't landing. The host didn't know where he

1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>had to be, Like, it was horrible.

1:06:22.000 --> 1:06:24.080
<v Speaker 5>It was horrible. I can't believe you remember that.

1:06:24.800 --> 1:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>It's my favorite thing to watch, Like I'll be say,

1:06:27.520 --> 1:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>three times a year, three times a year, I'll watched

1:06:31.160 --> 1:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that ship. Do you have do you have memories of

1:06:34.800 --> 1:06:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of doing the fail Out Project with us?

1:06:38.400 --> 1:06:38.640
<v Speaker 3>I do.

1:06:38.840 --> 1:06:41.320
<v Speaker 5>I tell everybody about that. That was another time and

1:06:41.360 --> 1:06:43.400
<v Speaker 5>you just called me up and you're like, hey, come down,

1:06:43.440 --> 1:06:46.080
<v Speaker 5>and you know, you know nowadays when people say that

1:06:46.120 --> 1:06:47.920
<v Speaker 5>you gotta call your manager and you got to.

1:06:48.200 --> 1:06:51.240
<v Speaker 6>Your assistant hester but it was just like okay, and

1:06:51.320 --> 1:06:53.920
<v Speaker 6>I came down and we did it. And that's the

1:06:54.000 --> 1:06:56.520
<v Speaker 6>night I met the Angelo, and I'm.

1:06:56.360 --> 1:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Now considered that the last night of Voodoo, Like, yeah,

1:06:59.560 --> 1:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that was close chapter of it. But he was really impressed,

1:07:03.760 --> 1:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>like he knew he knew of you. But you know,

1:07:10.160 --> 1:07:14.240
<v Speaker 1>I think after the session, when you and him did

1:07:14.240 --> 1:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the vocal session together. Yeah, he hit me up like, yo, man, yo,

1:07:20.720 --> 1:07:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I really fucks with her, man, I don't know, I

1:07:25.840 --> 1:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>know that, Like he was really he I think he

1:07:29.000 --> 1:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>was like kicking himself that he didn't at least jump

1:07:33.200 --> 1:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>on the bandwagon before or what you know, like two

1:07:36.080 --> 1:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>years earlier, because I mean this was two thousand now,

1:07:39.400 --> 1:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>But like he was really kicking himself that he didn't

1:07:42.800 --> 1:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>pay attention in ninety eight when he should have been

1:07:45.120 --> 1:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>paying attention, Like he didn't realize, like yo, like she

1:07:49.080 --> 1:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>has chops, like I fox with it like that.

1:07:51.520 --> 1:07:54.520
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, but then I never heard from him again.

1:07:55.000 --> 1:07:57.080
<v Speaker 5>He was like, yeah, there's too someone and I never heard.

1:07:57.960 --> 1:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, you know, his next album came out fifteen

1:08:00.080 --> 1:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>years later, so.

1:08:02.400 --> 1:08:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not.

1:08:07.960 --> 1:08:09.120
<v Speaker 5>I've never talked about that.

1:08:10.240 --> 1:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Can you talk about working with why did why did

1:08:12.360 --> 1:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>you choose Dallas Austin when you did the trouble with

1:08:16.840 --> 1:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>being myself out and like what how was your working

1:08:20.160 --> 1:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>relationship with him in the studio?

1:08:22.920 --> 1:08:26.120
<v Speaker 5>So that was that was different. That was the first time,

1:08:26.720 --> 1:08:30.280
<v Speaker 5>like Polly poly Anthony, she was ahead of the label

1:08:30.400 --> 1:08:36.400
<v Speaker 5>and I know probly passed.

1:08:38.040 --> 1:08:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Poly Anthony.

1:08:40.720 --> 1:08:42.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, wow, I.

1:08:42.240 --> 1:08:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Didn't know that ship. Oh damn, I didn't know that fun. Yeah, damn,

1:08:48.800 --> 1:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry you hear that. No, was the chance like

1:08:54.120 --> 1:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the last of the last of I won't say the Mohicans,

1:08:58.840 --> 1:09:02.719
<v Speaker 1>but definitely the lasted damn.

1:09:02.800 --> 1:09:08.040
<v Speaker 6>So she had me like meat producers, like, because my

1:09:08.080 --> 1:09:10.200
<v Speaker 6>first two albums, I just decided who I wanted, and

1:09:10.439 --> 1:09:14.000
<v Speaker 6>well Andy kind of came in. But but it wasn't

1:09:14.040 --> 1:09:16.040
<v Speaker 6>a choice, she said, and he's going to produce your record.

1:09:16.240 --> 1:09:18.360
<v Speaker 6>And then I was like, okay, so, but this is

1:09:18.360 --> 1:09:20.200
<v Speaker 6>the first time I like set with producers and they

1:09:20.200 --> 1:09:20.680
<v Speaker 6>played me.

1:09:20.680 --> 1:09:21.280
<v Speaker 5>Stuff and.

1:09:23.680 --> 1:09:30.720
<v Speaker 6>On this record with Andy, No, No, I mean, he's

1:09:30.720 --> 1:09:32.800
<v Speaker 6>a great but we just fought. It was too much

1:09:32.920 --> 1:09:37.920
<v Speaker 6>like Firelight far all the time. So I met with Dallas,

1:09:38.040 --> 1:09:42.960
<v Speaker 6>and Dallas was like he just kept talking about how

1:09:43.040 --> 1:09:44.720
<v Speaker 6>much he loved, you know, the songs that.

1:09:44.680 --> 1:09:47.400
<v Speaker 5>I had and blah blah blah. He's kind of juiced

1:09:47.400 --> 1:09:49.200
<v Speaker 5>me up and I felt for it. It's like, okay,

1:09:50.000 --> 1:09:53.559
<v Speaker 5>that was it?

1:09:53.600 --> 1:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Was it? Was it not?

1:09:54.400 --> 1:09:56.120
<v Speaker 10>Was it not a pleasant experience or were you not

1:09:56.160 --> 1:09:58.599
<v Speaker 10>pleased with the outcome of those songs that y'all did together?

1:09:59.600 --> 1:10:06.920
<v Speaker 5>No, we we have fun. He's hard to it's hard

1:10:06.960 --> 1:10:10.720
<v Speaker 5>to get him to sit. You know, he's very we

1:10:10.720 --> 1:10:11.360
<v Speaker 5>were much.

1:10:11.200 --> 1:10:14.200
<v Speaker 6>Younger at the time, so we both just had a

1:10:14.200 --> 1:10:17.200
<v Speaker 6>lot going on and so it was cool we got

1:10:17.200 --> 1:10:20.719
<v Speaker 6>it done, but I think he got.

1:10:20.560 --> 1:10:22.880
<v Speaker 5>Upset with me because some of his ideas I didn't like.

1:10:23.000 --> 1:10:25.680
<v Speaker 6>And you know, there's always a first So that was

1:10:25.720 --> 1:10:27.840
<v Speaker 6>like the first time I had been in with.

1:10:27.760 --> 1:10:31.360
<v Speaker 5>Somebody like him, and and I didn't you know, like

1:10:31.520 --> 1:10:33.439
<v Speaker 5>now I would handle it totally differently.

1:10:34.280 --> 1:10:36.479
<v Speaker 1>And also thing with single choices, man like for that

1:10:36.560 --> 1:10:39.599
<v Speaker 1>album like Come Together, I felt it would have been

1:10:39.640 --> 1:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the song.

1:10:42.200 --> 1:10:45.360
<v Speaker 5>And you know, oh my god, the fact that you

1:10:45.479 --> 1:10:46.519
<v Speaker 5>know that song is so.

1:10:47.240 --> 1:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>May see, I'm an actual fan of yours, Like I'm

1:10:50.320 --> 1:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>not just like, oh yeah, I know her and she's

1:10:52.800 --> 1:10:55.560
<v Speaker 1>singing as I try, like, I know your entire discography,

1:10:55.600 --> 1:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>trust me about stuff. Well then okay, so what I well,

1:11:01.200 --> 1:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>first of all, shortly before she pat well, I mean

1:11:04.400 --> 1:11:06.559
<v Speaker 1>she passed in twenty sixteen. But what was it like

1:11:07.920 --> 1:11:10.439
<v Speaker 1>working with Natalie Cole? I know that she was on

1:11:11.040 --> 1:11:15.439
<v Speaker 1>you used her on the big album? Yeah, what was

1:11:15.479 --> 1:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>it like? But even more than that, I gotta know,

1:11:19.000 --> 1:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>what's it like working with Ron Fair? Like in my

1:11:22.439 --> 1:11:27.080
<v Speaker 1>mind and I hope, I hope. I don't get you know,

1:11:27.840 --> 1:11:29.600
<v Speaker 1>don't you don't ever want to rock the boat of

1:11:29.720 --> 1:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Ron Fair or Jimmy Iving when you talk about them.

1:11:33.280 --> 1:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, Ron always when I think of like

1:11:38.080 --> 1:11:40.920
<v Speaker 1>when they talk about like a suit, you know, like

1:11:41.040 --> 1:11:43.519
<v Speaker 1>when there's a suit in the room and people like

1:11:43.520 --> 1:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>trying to be creative, like that's Ron and Ron, like

1:11:48.240 --> 1:11:52.559
<v Speaker 1>he infamously told Will I Am. This is when Will

1:11:52.680 --> 1:11:55.479
<v Speaker 1>was pondering whether or not to put Fergie in the

1:11:55.520 --> 1:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>group or not, and Ron says, well, you know, look,

1:12:00.040 --> 1:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I know you guys have your fantasies of being like

1:12:03.400 --> 1:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the Roots, but you know you could either be like

1:12:06.640 --> 1:12:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the roots or you can win and sell some units.

1:12:10.240 --> 1:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>What do you want to do? And I know, but

1:12:14.280 --> 1:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not offended because that that's how Ron. Ron's just

1:12:16.960 --> 1:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>cutting dry, like yeah, yeah, he always gives you his

1:12:21.600 --> 1:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>unsolicited opinion, like if you guys just had a girl

1:12:24.400 --> 1:12:27.439
<v Speaker 1>in the group, and you know, you guys would win too.

1:12:27.800 --> 1:12:29.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm trying to tell him, like, you know, just

1:12:30.000 --> 1:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>winning isn't just like that's not my life goal just

1:12:34.320 --> 1:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>to win that sort of thing. But what was it

1:12:36.120 --> 1:12:37.639
<v Speaker 1>like working with him on this album?

1:12:38.520 --> 1:12:42.080
<v Speaker 6>He's very you know, precise, and you know everything is

1:12:42.120 --> 1:12:44.640
<v Speaker 6>really big orchestral.

1:12:43.960 --> 1:12:47.840
<v Speaker 5>And thought out and stuff like that, and you know

1:12:48.680 --> 1:12:49.479
<v Speaker 5>he's run fair.

1:12:49.600 --> 1:12:51.320
<v Speaker 6>He was always really nice to me. I hear a

1:12:51.360 --> 1:12:53.559
<v Speaker 6>lot of horror stories, but he was always really nice

1:12:53.600 --> 1:12:53.800
<v Speaker 6>to me.

1:12:55.560 --> 1:12:58.519
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, but you know I did. I Will

1:12:58.600 --> 1:12:58.880
<v Speaker 5>did that.

1:13:01.080 --> 1:13:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Label. I didn't know how much he produced it. There

1:13:03.800 --> 1:13:07.519
<v Speaker 1>there's one joint on there that I there's one joint

1:13:07.560 --> 1:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>on there I loved called okay, And I always wanted

1:13:12.080 --> 1:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to know if the Neptune had anything to do with

1:13:15.000 --> 1:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that or.

1:13:17.439 --> 1:13:19.360
<v Speaker 5>Justin Timberlake wrote that song.

1:13:20.200 --> 1:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>There you Go Okay. I felt there was like at

1:13:24.120 --> 1:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>least a one degree to Pharrell and then by the

1:13:28.800 --> 1:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>way the bridge sounded and all that, I was like,

1:13:30.840 --> 1:13:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you know this, but you know, because we were past

1:13:34.360 --> 1:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the CD era, I never once looked up the credits

1:13:39.040 --> 1:13:39.599
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot.

1:13:40.360 --> 1:13:42.599
<v Speaker 10>So Masie, I wanted to always to ask you about

1:13:42.640 --> 1:13:44.920
<v Speaker 10>the song love Won't Wait off the Black Eyed Peas

1:13:44.920 --> 1:13:47.439
<v Speaker 10>first album that was. That was my favorite song on

1:13:47.479 --> 1:13:49.439
<v Speaker 10>that album and I loved your performed song. Do you

1:13:49.680 --> 1:13:51.400
<v Speaker 10>have any memories of doing that song?

1:13:52.960 --> 1:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>The session for it? It's always honest.

1:14:02.160 --> 1:14:02.840
<v Speaker 3>In your mind.

1:14:02.840 --> 1:14:06.080
<v Speaker 4>Do you have memories like the favorite Cowboy collaboration moments though,

1:14:06.120 --> 1:14:08.080
<v Speaker 4>because you've done so many, I mean even a mere

1:14:08.120 --> 1:14:10.880
<v Speaker 4>asking for about Nighty Cole, I forget, Like I forgot

1:14:10.920 --> 1:14:13.240
<v Speaker 4>all about that. But are there some memorable ones in

1:14:13.280 --> 1:14:14.439
<v Speaker 4>your head to stick out the most?

1:14:14.880 --> 1:14:16.000
<v Speaker 5>Stick out the most?

1:14:16.960 --> 1:14:20.960
<v Speaker 6>Probably I was I did a record with Robin Think

1:14:21.000 --> 1:14:23.559
<v Speaker 6>and then he left to go out to dinner and

1:14:23.560 --> 1:14:24.639
<v Speaker 6>he never came back.

1:14:27.280 --> 1:14:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of.

1:14:35.760 --> 1:14:38.160
<v Speaker 4>Record, and y'all never spoke after that ever.

1:14:39.280 --> 1:14:41.360
<v Speaker 6>I mean I run into him, but okay, and it

1:14:41.479 --> 1:14:43.559
<v Speaker 6>was it was a Ryan Fair record, which supposed to

1:14:43.600 --> 1:14:45.639

<v Speaker 4>You really mean it because you know, I mean so

1:15:42.120 --> 1:15:44.240

<v Speaker 4>it wasn't happening before, now people are listening like, okay, cool,

1:15:47.080 --> 1:15:48.720
<v Speaker 4>I feel comfortable just handed me.

1:15:48.760 --> 1:15:52.680

1:15:56.680 --> 1:15:57.559
<v Speaker 6>really he did.

1:15:57.640 --> 1:16:00.519
<v Speaker 5>It was me and Guru, I could call it.

1:16:01.439 --> 1:16:04.560
<v Speaker 10>It was on the it was all I said. It

<v Speaker 10>was all I said. All I said, I forgot one

1:16:13.479 --> 1:16:15.840
<v Speaker 10>the streets, so three of the streets Soloe it was

1:16:15.840 --> 1:16:16.599
<v Speaker 10>the one was certified.

1:16:17.120 --> 1:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I was about I forgot you were on that record.

1:16:20.800 --> 1:16:21.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1:16:22.200 --> 1:16:25.880
<v Speaker 6>I was like, they were like, there's this new kid,

1:16:26.000 --> 1:16:30.160
<v Speaker 6>and I mean, you know, and I went to the studio.

1:16:29.960 --> 1:16:32.280
<v Speaker 5>And it came out cool. He was out but not

1:16:32.360 --> 1:16:33.519
<v Speaker 5>like he wasn't frail yet.

1:16:35.360 --> 1:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just he still had the mustache. Yeah, yeah, still

1:16:42.120 --> 1:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the mustache. I always wanted to know this, and I've

1:16:47.000 --> 1:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>never heard this before, But how what was the what

1:16:50.840 --> 1:16:56.439
<v Speaker 1>was the idea of covering the entire Talking Book album

1:16:56.439 --> 1:16:59.520
<v Speaker 1>by Stevie Wonder? Whose idea was that?

1:16:59.520 --> 1:17:03.560
<v Speaker 5>That was? Okay, you know how how Wilner, he's the

1:17:02.920 --> 1:17:09.400
<v Speaker 5>he's I know, yeah, me too, I love him. So

1:17:10.320 --> 1:17:12.519
<v Speaker 5>he had this idea. He was like, nobody's ever covered

1:17:12.520 --> 1:17:16.519
<v Speaker 5>the whole album, and and then he had some ideas

1:17:16.640 --> 1:17:19.240
<v Speaker 5>and one and then and Talking Book is like the

1:17:19.240 --> 1:17:22.200
<v Speaker 5>one album I know backwards and forwards. I know every word,

1:17:22.240 --> 1:17:23.160
<v Speaker 5>every beat.

1:17:23.320 --> 1:17:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmm.

1:17:24.479 --> 1:17:26.679
<v Speaker 6>So we did that when I was on this little

1:17:26.800 --> 1:17:30.479
<v Speaker 6>label and I could do whatever I want, So we

1:17:30.680 --> 1:17:34.519
<v Speaker 6>just we just won the seal dance. But then you

1:17:34.640 --> 1:17:38.160
<v Speaker 6>follow the house though everybody's plugged in, and.

1:17:37.800 --> 1:17:40.640
<v Speaker 1>But then you followed it up with another cover album, Like,

1:17:40.680 --> 1:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>what was the the logic behind that just get covered?

1:17:45.320 --> 1:17:47.799
<v Speaker 1>Was at least half covered? Was covered? All covered songs?

1:17:47.920 --> 1:17:51.840
<v Speaker 5>Or just no, it was all It was all covers, Okay, some.

1:17:51.840 --> 1:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>That were obvious hit singles and some that were like

1:17:54.320 --> 1:17:55.160
<v Speaker 1>cool album cuts.

1:17:55.160 --> 1:17:58.160
<v Speaker 6>And yeah, I was on this little label and and

1:17:58.560 --> 1:18:01.559
<v Speaker 6>my manager didn't think I should give them any big

1:18:01.600 --> 1:18:04.160
<v Speaker 6>records or something. I mean that I probably shouldn't have

1:18:04.200 --> 1:18:08.720
<v Speaker 6>announced that book.

1:18:09.200 --> 1:18:11.400
<v Speaker 1>The whole goal was to shoot your shot, like no

1:18:11.439 --> 1:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>matter what.

1:18:12.880 --> 1:18:18.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no not in some In some cases you should

1:18:18.560 --> 1:18:21.400
<v Speaker 5>shoot your shot. Not always. But but.

1:18:22.960 --> 1:18:25.639
<v Speaker 6>There was this little label and and my my manager

1:18:25.680 --> 1:18:28.960
<v Speaker 6>didn't think they were capable of, like, you know, properly

1:18:29.000 --> 1:18:30.800
<v Speaker 6>promoting a song, and so he was like, it's just

1:18:30.840 --> 1:18:32.519
<v Speaker 6>too covers and then let's get up out of there,

1:18:32.600 --> 1:18:36.040
<v Speaker 6>and so we'll just covered. But some of my favorite

1:18:36.160 --> 1:18:38.800
<v Speaker 6>songs of mine are on are on that record. I

1:18:38.880 --> 1:18:40.200
<v Speaker 6>know I shouldn't have said that.

1:18:40.439 --> 1:18:42.400
<v Speaker 3>No, it's it's just honesty.

1:18:43.080 --> 1:18:47.479
<v Speaker 5>I take it back, I take it back, give me

1:18:47.520 --> 1:18:48.240
<v Speaker 5>another excuse.

1:18:48.360 --> 1:18:50.639
<v Speaker 4>Still talk some good songs. It don't really matter, it's

1:18:50.640 --> 1:18:53.559
<v Speaker 4>like good. I was like, I'm going down on this covered.

1:18:53.600 --> 1:18:55.040
<v Speaker 4>I didn't even know about that.

1:18:55.760 --> 1:18:57.640
<v Speaker 5>No cover, some good records on it.

1:18:58.000 --> 1:19:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Of your canon, what's your favorite out them?

1:19:01.120 --> 1:19:05.160
<v Speaker 5>Uh, probably definitely my first one to d and then

1:19:05.439 --> 1:19:06.360
<v Speaker 5>my last one I love.

1:19:06.439 --> 1:19:13.080
<v Speaker 6>I did an album called I Think It's Yeah, Ruby's

<v Speaker 6>good album.

1:19:13.600 --> 1:19:17.519

<v Speaker 1>You, send it to me, give her your emails.

1:19:28.720 --> 1:19:31.280
<v Speaker 4>And is that the one that I think Susie sent

<v Speaker 4>us to Spotify?

1:19:33.640 --> 1:19:36.160
<v Speaker 6>Is that it's not it's not a it's really actually

1:19:36.240 --> 1:19:38.600
<v Speaker 6>like a like a breakdown in the song and you

1:19:38.840 --> 1:19:39.160
<v Speaker 6>kind of.

1:19:39.160 --> 1:19:40.599
<v Speaker 5>Just do some solo ship.

1:19:41.560 --> 1:19:44.760
<v Speaker 4>Okay, it's out right right, Mae, it's out the song

1:19:44.760 --> 1:19:45.240
<v Speaker 4>you talk.

1:19:45.120 --> 1:19:47.559
<v Speaker 5>About, No, not the song for a quest.

1:19:47.640 --> 1:19:51.000
<v Speaker 6>But there's a song okay, so everybody listens stream a

1:19:51.040 --> 1:19:53.599
<v Speaker 6>song called thinking of You, and then there's a song

1:19:53.680 --> 1:19:55.040
<v Speaker 6>out called Deer America.

1:19:55.439 --> 1:19:57.920
<v Speaker 5>Because we're setting up my album, because is this.

1:19:57.960 --> 1:20:00.519
<v Speaker 4>The first time you're doing it? Correct if I'm wrong

1:20:00.560 --> 1:20:01.360
<v Speaker 4>a jazz record.

1:20:02.600 --> 1:20:03.760
<v Speaker 5>No, I've done a jazz record.

1:20:03.840 --> 1:20:06.040
<v Speaker 6>This is at my first minute. So my I've been

1:20:06.080 --> 1:20:08.200
<v Speaker 6>with my touring band for about five years. So we

1:20:08.280 --> 1:20:11.519
<v Speaker 6>decided to be official so called Macy Gray in the

1:20:11.560 --> 1:20:12.880
<v Speaker 6>California Jet Club.

1:20:16.240 --> 1:20:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, ask.

1:20:17.680 --> 1:20:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Where did that name come from?

1:20:20.280 --> 1:20:23.439
<v Speaker 5>It's really boring. So we all live in California. We

1:20:23.560 --> 1:20:25.280
<v Speaker 5>fly a lot's club.

1:20:25.320 --> 1:20:27.760
<v Speaker 6>I don't know, I didn't come up with I would

1:20:27.800 --> 1:20:34.519
<v Speaker 6>have came up with some way better. No, it's cool,

1:20:34.520 --> 1:20:37.480
<v Speaker 6>but so yeah, thinking of you. If you go on Spotify,

1:20:37.560 --> 1:20:40.800
<v Speaker 6>you look up Macy Gray in the California Jet Club.

1:20:41.560 --> 1:20:45.040
<v Speaker 5>You guys would love Dear America. That's my favorite. But

1:20:45.080 --> 1:20:46.200
<v Speaker 5>it's a good record.

1:20:46.800 --> 1:20:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, damn you know what? I did have one question

1:20:50.960 --> 1:20:55.439
<v Speaker 1>about whose idea was it to do the stripped album

1:20:55.479 --> 1:20:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the way you did it? Steve? What's what's the technical

1:20:57.880 --> 1:20:59.600
<v Speaker 1>term I'm looking for? Do you remember.

1:21:00.800 --> 1:21:01.320
<v Speaker 2>By normal?

1:21:02.280 --> 1:21:05.080
<v Speaker 1>How did you know before I even ask? Because nevermind,

1:21:05.160 --> 1:21:08.439
<v Speaker 1>forget it, this is why we quest love supre But yeah,

1:21:08.479 --> 1:21:11.160
<v Speaker 1>what was the what was the decision to make it

1:21:11.520 --> 1:21:14.519
<v Speaker 1>by a normal? Which I assume that it was basically

1:21:14.600 --> 1:21:20.960
<v Speaker 1>two strategically placed microphones in the room? Oh, just one microphone.

1:21:21.160 --> 1:21:24.360
<v Speaker 1>The Cowboy Junkies first did this idea? Correct? I believe

1:21:24.800 --> 1:21:29.519
<v Speaker 1>were they infamously went to this church to record this album.

1:21:29.560 --> 1:21:33.559
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you placed one microphone perfectly in the center

1:21:33.560 --> 1:21:37.599
<v Speaker 1>of the room, and I guess each musician has to

1:21:37.640 --> 1:21:40.360
<v Speaker 1>fall in proximity to that microphone so that the balance

1:21:40.400 --> 1:21:44.200
<v Speaker 1>is perfect and you all play at the same time.

1:21:44.800 --> 1:21:46.200
<v Speaker 5>We did out of church in Brooklyn.

1:21:46.920 --> 1:21:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's like an audio version of Dogma ninety five,

1:21:50.920 --> 1:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Like it's it's it's a challenging sound to achieve. But

1:21:55.400 --> 1:21:57.920
<v Speaker 1>was that your idea or just your producer at the time.

1:21:57.840 --> 1:22:01.720
<v Speaker 5>Or No, there's a Cheskey Records. Do you know nor

1:22:01.720 --> 1:22:04.679
<v Speaker 5>I mean Cheskey, No, I don't.

1:22:05.040 --> 1:22:07.320
<v Speaker 6>He owns a jazz label called Cheskey Records, and he

1:22:07.360 --> 1:22:11.800
<v Speaker 6>does most of the albums on his label like that, okay,

1:22:12.120 --> 1:22:15.160
<v Speaker 6>because there's no there's no mix, of course, and you

1:22:15.200 --> 1:22:17.840
<v Speaker 6>get it all done in two days, like you go

1:22:17.920 --> 1:22:20.360
<v Speaker 6>rehearse and then you go and.

1:22:20.320 --> 1:22:21.880
<v Speaker 5>You cut it.

1:22:22.000 --> 1:22:23.920
<v Speaker 6>But it's back in the day, I mean one of

1:22:24.160 --> 1:22:28.280
<v Speaker 6>the most of the old records cut like that alone. Yeah, no,

1:22:28.360 --> 1:22:30.519
<v Speaker 6>but I love it, love the way it sounds, and

1:22:30.600 --> 1:22:32.320
<v Speaker 6>I love the way that record sounds. But yeah, we

1:22:32.360 --> 1:22:35.000
<v Speaker 6>all got in kind of a what do you call it,

1:22:35.040 --> 1:22:39.400
<v Speaker 6>like a U shape around the mic, and we cut

1:22:39.520 --> 1:22:41.040
<v Speaker 6>half of it one day and the next day we

1:22:41.120 --> 1:22:45.200
<v Speaker 6>cut the other half. I'm sitting there thinking I'm gonna

1:22:45.200 --> 1:22:48.960
<v Speaker 6>go back and do my vocals over so because I

1:22:49.120 --> 1:22:51.639
<v Speaker 6>wasn't like it just didn't hit me like you.

1:22:51.720 --> 1:22:52.240
<v Speaker 5>This is it.

1:22:53.280 --> 1:22:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh you didn't know it's final.

1:22:55.600 --> 1:22:57.080
<v Speaker 5>It was. It's really final.

1:22:57.120 --> 1:23:00.519
<v Speaker 6>That's the only thing that would be cool for the roots,

1:23:00.560 --> 1:23:01.640
<v Speaker 6>though you guys would kill that.

1:23:01.800 --> 1:23:03.599
<v Speaker 3>Oh God, something you'll haven't done.

1:23:04.640 --> 1:23:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I would love to, but I don't know sonically we

1:23:08.760 --> 1:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>can achieve that.

1:23:09.960 --> 1:23:13.000
<v Speaker 5>But you know, I mean no, there's people that the

1:23:13.040 --> 1:23:15.000
<v Speaker 5>people that know how to do that with will hook

1:23:15.040 --> 1:23:15.479

<v Speaker 6>So My Good is, Uh, what we do is we

1:25:21.600 --> 1:25:26.080
<v Speaker 6>support the families who've lost loved ones due to police violence.

1:25:26.720 --> 1:25:30.240
<v Speaker 6>M that we come in and help with funeral costs,

1:25:30.840 --> 1:25:36.679
<v Speaker 6>a lot of medical bills, mental health services, a lot

1:25:36.720 --> 1:25:39.439
<v Speaker 6>of families, you know, they get sold down and depressed,

1:25:39.439 --> 1:25:42.599
<v Speaker 6>they lose everything. So we've had to get a couple

1:25:42.600 --> 1:25:47.240
<v Speaker 6>of moms, uh housing. It's I think, you know, people

1:25:47.280 --> 1:25:49.360
<v Speaker 6>get all into their opinion of it and you forget

1:25:49.360 --> 1:25:54.320
<v Speaker 6>that someone's actually living the death, someone's death. You know,

1:25:54.479 --> 1:25:58.160
<v Speaker 6>lost a kid, you know what I mean. And so

1:25:58.160 --> 1:26:00.680

<v Speaker 6>we want to make a difference. We want to help

1:26:06.960 --> 1:26:09.919
<v Speaker 6>change laws and stuff like that. But it's it's mostly

1:26:10.560 --> 1:26:13.479
<v Speaker 6>financial support because of what the families go through after

1:26:13.640 --> 1:26:16.919
<v Speaker 6>especially you know, you hear about all the court cases.

1:26:17.040 --> 1:26:22.800
<v Speaker 6>I mean that's lawyers, lawyers and all kinds of I mean,

1:26:23.000 --> 1:26:25.760
<v Speaker 6>you have no idea what they go through. A lot

1:26:25.760 --> 1:26:28.200
<v Speaker 6>of a lot of you know, moms and dads break

1:26:28.280 --> 1:26:31.000
<v Speaker 6>up after there's been suicides.

1:26:31.080 --> 1:26:31.759
<v Speaker 5>A lot of.

1:26:33.600 --> 1:26:37.280
<v Speaker 6>Families fall into like addiction and stuff like that. So

<v Speaker 6>so we're just there to help people get back on

1:26:39.240 --> 1:26:41.639

1:28:30.640 --> 1:28:32.080
<v Speaker 6>how to cook and all that bullshit.

1:28:32.160 --> 1:28:36.679

1:32:20.400 --> 1:32:22.960
<v Speaker 10>She was working for a high end like this high

1:32:23.080 --> 1:32:26.599
<v Speaker 10>end design firm in Dallas or whatever, and they had

1:32:26.640 --> 1:32:30.200
<v Speaker 10>like a Christmas party or whatever, and they her boss

1:32:30.200 --> 1:32:32.360
<v Speaker 10>thought it would be a cool idea for her to

1:32:51.280 --> 1:32:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Crying and hypervent leadership.

1:32:54.040 --> 1:32:56.320
<v Speaker 10>They eventually had to rush her out the fucking building

1:32:56.360 --> 1:33:00.640
