11
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: Now. I met you before we did the eighty Vibe

12
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: show together, and I was, well, I was already a

13
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: fan of yours, but you had performed that your song

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: up session. And when I tell you, that is like

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: a gam on a block. Of course, that is such

16
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: a good song. And you know what song is good

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: like because the first time I heard it was live,

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: so you had the band and all that stuff. And

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: so sometimes you hear a song live and then when

20
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: you hear it on the track, it's kind of like, damn,

21
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: it's underwhelming. But I was like, oh my god, it's

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: just this. Yeah, So the first time that was the

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: first time I saw you perform. So I'm super excited

24

Speaker 4: I want to talk.

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: About the beginning, you know, like you're beginning, like when

54
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: you first got into music, when you were like, Okay,

55
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of good at this because what

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: came first you realize I'm like, okay, I want to

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: be an artist or like the songwriting artist.

58
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 4: First.

59
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: But I was in singing groups, multiple singing groups, like

60
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 5: three or four groups back to back in LA back

61
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: in the day.

62
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 6: You know.

63
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: This was around the time where B two K was popping.

64
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 5: You know, so it was like, you know, I'm looking

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 5: for other dudes, like okay, who can sing with me

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 5: on the corner. I'm trying to get some harmonies. I

67
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 5: was yeah, and you got service to choreo with it.

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 5: And I think like maybe like eight years down the line,

69
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: after the groups, I was like, let me try something else,

70
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 5: and the songwriting just really kicked the door down for me.

71
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: So talk about your first songwriting experience.

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, first song man, Selena Gomez.

73
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 5: I actually was sent to write a song for her,

74
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: like a Disney vibe, and they kept me on a song.

75
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: So I wrote her parts and I had wrote a

76
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: like a rap verse.

77
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 5: They said it would be a Disney artist and I

78
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 5: was like, yo, we want to keep you on the rap.

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: We want to keep the song from then on.

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 5: Now I got signed to Sony ATV and it was

81
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 5: up from there.

82
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: And you were young, pretty young man.

83
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like eighteen.

Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

102
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: That's crazy because we were just talking about that first job,

103
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,240

00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 5: Okay, I hear I be feeling like.

110
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: Like, either give them the money or he's taking it.

111
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 7: And that's what I was just telling her. I'm like,

112
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,000

00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 7: to wait in the studio, and I'm just like, legs,

115
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 7: why don't they just get a job, because I'm sure

116
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 7: they would.

117
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: Make more money.

118
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 7: I'm sure it will make way more money than just

119
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 7: standing on the you know, because more than you getting

120
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 7: guess gotta be go, get you a little job at

121
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 7: foot locker, make your little consistent paycheck every two weeks.

122
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 4: What do it beat?

123
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: Though, I was telling her, though, we're in a society

124
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: now where they like they glorify hustling. There's to me,

125
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: there's two sides of hustles, and there's like a good

126
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: hustle where like, you know, you have your job and

127
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: and you're chasing your dream, which I'm all for. When

128
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: I was like trying to make this podcast happen, I

129
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: had a job. I literally had a job until the

130
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: day it was like I couldn't have my job because

131
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: I was getting.

132
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: So busy with you.

133
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: So I think we're in a culture now where it's

134
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: like you gotta hustle. You know, no sleep, it's not no,

135
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: it's not cool to have a job. It's very crazy

136
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: because I started at Chukky Cheese, right, but then I

137
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: went on the best buy period, Togos lattice, tomatoes and

138
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: pickles and peppercinies. So that's why.

139
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 7: We always talking about that. I used to work at

140
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 7: the grocery store. Hey, then I worked that.

141
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 4: Low let's go.

142
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 5: That's how you can tell that's real. You know, we

143
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 5: started off at the minimum wage. But guess what, it

144
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: was guaranteed.

145
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: Right, it was guaranteed, and that's why I said to day,

146
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: I gotta pay my bills. Okay, So talk about I

147
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: want to fast forward a little bit. Talk about the

148
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: Tiny Desk that you did with Usher, because tiny desks

149
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: are always like hit or miss, you know. I feel

150
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: like sometimes they have amazing artists on there, but it

151
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: really depends, like on the crowd, the songs. They performed

152
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: a lot of elements, and I feel like when Usher

153
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: did his everything was perfect.

154
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 8: Ya.

155
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: So talk about that Tiny Desk performance, all right.

156
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 5: So it's crazy because the Tiny Desk I didn't even

157
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 5: know we was doing that.

158
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: We was rehearsing for something in the water festival.

159
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 5: For for real, but it happened to be in DC too,

160
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 5: so he was like he told us, I think like

161

00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 5: me Confessions album.

171
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 4: You know.

172
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: So when it came down to singing the songs I'm

173
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 5: talking about, I know, harmonies, low notes, soprano, alto.

174
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

175
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 5: And it was just so easy. You know, we was

Speaker 5: up there really just having fun, like oh and you

177
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 5: take the lead, now you take the high up. So man,

178
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 5: that was that was a just a blessing.

179
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 4: You know.

180
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: It gave me a rebirth you know in my career

181
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 5: that I just didn't expect. You know, I'm thinking I'm

182
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 5: just going to do backgrounds, but you know, I didn't

183
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 5: know he was going to shine the light on me.

184
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: He did.

185
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: And that's what I really loved about that because it

186
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: was so many people that was like, who is who

187
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: is this who is like, y'all don't know who y'all

188
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: sleep because he one of them once for real?

189
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: That did it? Though, Yeah, it did it, did you know?

190
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 5: Because the people it's like, you know that was fans

191
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 5: and then you got the people that you know may

192
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 5: have heard of the name. But I think you know

193
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 5: that co sign essentially really just put it on the map,

194
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 5: like all right, let me let me, let me let

195
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 5: me press play, let me let me tune in.

196
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: I knew, like, I think that usher is inspiring to

197
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: like all of us as creatives period. But I knew

198
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: it was like another He was on another level because

199
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: he recently did an interview and they were just asking

200
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: about everything that was going on with, you know, the

201
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: super Bowl album dropping, Vegas residency. He was like, I'm

202
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: just getting started, and I'm like, to be who you are.

203
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: You've been in the industry since he was what fifteen,

204
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: and you have multiple classic albums, and You're like, I'm

205
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: not even done. I haven't even scratched it. You have

206
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: scratched the service, you have dug a whole side.

207
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, but in.

208
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: His head, he's like, I haven't even done what I've

209
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: what I've really wanted to do when touched everything.

210
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 5: That's a real visionary, Yeah, a real visionary. I feel

211
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 5: the same way, Like we're just getting started. I'm sure

212
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 5: you feel the same way, you know what I mean.

213
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 5: And that's somebody that's hungry, you know what I mean.

214
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 5: So man shout out to him. That's you know, being

215
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 5: an example in the ever evolving example as well.

216
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: That's what I was gonna say. That's evolution for sure.

217
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: So I feel like now in the music industry, it's

218
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: very much so like people are releasing singles, yeah, versus

219
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: releasing whole projects.

220
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 4: Correct, And I.

221
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: Am as the listeners know, y'all know, I'm an R

222
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: and B girl, and I like to dive into projects

223
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: like I like to listen to a body of work.

224
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: I like to really know who an artist is, and

225
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: I like to feel things. So it's kind of hard

226
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: for me to navigate things now because people are like

227
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: dropping singles versus albums. So why do you think Do

228
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: you think that's because of the streaming money.

229
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 5: Wraps Like it's easier because an album costs so much money,

230
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 5: you know, but imagine how many people.

231
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 4: Just have a song that's not me?

232
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of artists. That's like single artists.

233
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 5: I'm an album artist.

234
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 9: You are, you got some you got some good good Because.

235
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 5: The single is connected intentionally to a theme that's attached

236
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 5: to an album, it's altogether right story. Yeah, it's a

237
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 5: story like you can't have number one without number two

238
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 5: and so on, you know. So I think it's just

239
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 5: not not necessarily a cop out, But I just think

240
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 5: it takes a lot more to actually drop an album.

241
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 5: A lot bigger budget, you know, a lot more organization

242
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 5: when it comes to split sheets and you know, handling business,

243
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 5: talking to producers and production agreements and you know artwork

244
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 5: and you know different things like that. All that is

245
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 5: a lot more strategic than just dropping a single, right.

246
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: And I also feel like one thing I can say

247
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: about it, seems like you've always been good like handling

248
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: your business, to say, you got in the industry so young,

249
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: Like where did you learn? Like okay, I have to

250
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: read these contracts, I have to make sure my lawyers

251
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: are straight, Like how did you navigate that space?

252
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 5: So now I'm grateful I had a partner in the

253
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 5: beginning Nieman Johnson, like I grew up. We grew up together,

254
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 5: like seventh grade you know what I mean, like best

255
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 5: friends and I was the creative and he was the business.

256
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 5: You know, like he started off in real estate slash

257
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 5: street smarts.

258
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I mean.

259
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 5: So with real estate, it's like you gotta go all

260
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 5: the way there. You gotta have your credit check, you

261
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 5: gotta have your down payment, you gotta have you know,

262
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 5: everything together. So I think he applied that and it

263
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: translated to music. So I was able to learn it

264
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: from that aspect. You know, we don't work together anymore,

265
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 5: but you know, I was able to take that and

266
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 5: expand upon it, you know what I mean. So now

267
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 5: it's like, okay, I'm learning from you know, first you

268
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 5: got the street knowledge and then you got the real

269
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 5: estate aspects. So now it's like it's different, you know

270
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: what I mean, But it applies the same way. And

271
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 5: now with my experience in twenty years in a game,

272
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: you know, and trial and error and never sign into

273
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 5: a major label in my life, I was.

274
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 4: Forced, amazing, I was forced to learn it, you know.

275
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 5: But now it's like, that's why I just started my

276
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 5: own label, Always Entertainment, and I'm able to pass down

277
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 5: the knowledge and pay it forward to artists that I believe.

278
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: In Yeah, I mean that. That was my next question too,

279
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: because I feel like it's a lot of young people

280
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: that are coming in the game now, do you feel

281
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: like being the vet that you are, like you kind

282
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: of have to spread that knowledge and let them know

283
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: what's that because a lot of people that have been

284
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: the game a long time, they're like, I'm not telling

285
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: them shit, I'm can to collect these checks.

286
00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: I see.

287
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think I I understand that because

288
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 5: it's so much. You know, once you get in the game,

289
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 5: you know, the demand is just crazy. It's like, Yo,

290
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 5: they need you here, they need you there. You gotta

291
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 5: do this and that. But I find so much value

292
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 5: in pouring into the future and pouring into the new generation.

293
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 5: Like I'm somebody that I could write a song. I

294
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 5: don't need no help. I guarantee you I don't need

295
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 5: no help to write a song. But I love working

296
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 5: with young artists. I love working with young writers because

297
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 5: they got a different perspective.

298
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 4: They in the streets, stay outside. I got to write

Speaker 11: This is specially dedicated to you. So this one includes

317
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 11: some douce. He loves to do lemonade. So we have

318
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 11: some lemon juice, some simple syrup, but you know, I

319
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 11: had to put myself mixedy twist on it. We have

320
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 11: some pineapple and mango juice added to it, just to

321
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 11: give a little tropical flair, and then it's garnished with

322
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 11: a candy pineapple on top.

323
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: And then for Lexandrea, they.

324
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 11: Have something similar the lemon juice, the simple syrup, the

325
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 11: pineapple mango, but there's this top with some sparkling rose so.

326
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: Take me to jam. It's really really good.

327
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: I need know what's up y'all? Is your girl lexp.

328
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: And it's your girl Dread and the call.

329
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: And one thing about me and my girl, we love

330
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: to save money. And one thing that we noticed that

331
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: we were spending a lot of money on that we

332
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: forgot about is subscription services. Yes.

333
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

334
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 7: You know, most Americans think they only spend about CT

335
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 7: two dollars on subscriptions.

336
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: It's really three hundred dollars.

337
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money.

338
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: You know what I could do with an extra two thirty?

339
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: Oh you know what I'm saying. I like that.

340
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: I like this too.

341
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 7: Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and

342
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 7: cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors you're spending, and helps lower

343
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 7: your bills so that you can grow your savings.

344
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: So what Rocket Money does is they go in and

345
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: they find whatever subscriptions you have and they cancel them

346
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: whatever you're not using. They do it for you. All

347
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: you have to do is take a picture of your

348
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: bill and send it to them and they handle the rest.

349
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: They'll even talk to customer service for you, or if

350
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: you have a subscription that's going up on the price.

351
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: They'll negotiate that for you to make sure the price

352
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: stays the same or maybe get it a little lower.

353
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: You never know, you know what I'm saying. Rocket Money

354
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: has over five. So before we get into these topics,

355
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: I do want to ask you one more themes, okay,

356
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: because like I said, I'm a fan, so.

357
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: I know.

358
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Okay. So it's like, now we're in a space of

359
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: a lot of songwriters more than ever. You know, they're

360
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: pulling out their artistry. So how do you balance that,

361
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: like being a songwriter and being an artist.

362
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think now I've put the songwriter not to

363
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 5: the back burner, but I would just say that the

364
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 5: artist is first.

365
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 4: You know.

366
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: For a long time I was juggling both, you know,

367
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 5: and in the beginning, I started with the songwriting first

368
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 5: after the groups. Once I got out of the groups,

369
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 5: I was like, let me try out something different, you know,

370
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 5: and focused on songwriting and it really really took off,

371
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 5: you know, And it was actually tough for me to

372
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 5: get back to my artistry because it was going so well,

373
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So it's like, damn, I

374
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 5: want to strike while I iron is hot. You know,

375
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 5: now I'm getting the calls to work with Beyonce, to

376
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 5: work with Rihanna, to work with you know, Neo and

377
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 5: all these guys. So it was like I just kept going,

378
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, and just slowly started sprinkling

379
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 5: my music. But now, you know, it's just it's me,

380
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 5: you know, like I feel like the energy that I

381
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 5: put into it, the universes is responding back. I need

382
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 5: to focus on me Boom sold off tour, man, I

383
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 5: need to focus on me Boom new album, you know

384
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So it's just it's just you know,

385
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 5: what you put in, you're gonna get out, you know.

386
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 5: So I've just made that my intention because when I

387
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 5: write a song for somebody, it's great.

388
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 4: But when I write the song for me, now.

389
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 5: I get the performance resisuals Now I get the ask cap,

390
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 5: you know, be in my royalties, and now I get

391
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 5: to travel and perform and do my own shows. So

392
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 5: you know, it's just so much more incentive to actually

393
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 5: sing my own songs, you know. But I'm always always

394
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: going to do what I did to get here in

395
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 5: order to stay here. So you need a record, holler

396
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 5: at me if you got the budget you gotta have

397
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: a budget.

398
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: Budget. Yeah, we're starting at twenty.

399
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: So look, I got another question too, because I know

400
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: a lot of times people in the industry there like,

401
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta hustle and you gotta do something.

402
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta do things for free or you know,

403
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: show up for people. So when do you get that

404
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: point to where you're like, Okay, I'm not doing shit

405
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: for free no more. And when how do you decipher

406
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: that you don't need it? You know what I'm saying,

407
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: you need it?

408
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: Look at the bread.

409
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 5: Don't be sitting up here trying to play hardball when

410
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 5: you need it right right, Like what.

411
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 4: You're only gonna give me ten thousand, five thousand, but right,

412
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 4: take the five, Take the ten, you know what I mean.

413
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 4: Until it's really like, man, I ain't got time for

414
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 4: that right now, and you don't need it, you know

415
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 4: what I mean?

416
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 5: Because I just look at it like there's such thing

417
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 5: as a high horse to be on and you're trying

418
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 5: to get there, you know, and trying to play hardball.

419
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 4: But you also got to be a real one.

420
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 5: You know, you gotta be realistic, and you know consider

421
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 5: that you know you could, you could, you can make

422
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 5: sure that they know what you need. But you know,

423
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 5: there's a such thing as compromise until it's time, right, because.

424
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: I do feel like a lot of times when situations

425
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: go bad, it's because like ego be involved. Sure you know,

426
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: it's like it's always about people's ego and being like

427
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: because one thing about me, Like if I needed it,

428
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'll do that.

429
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, what for your little five hundreds?

430
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't tell nobody because I don't want people like, oh,

431
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: she only charge five and that we can get her

432
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: for that too.

433
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 4: You can't everybody, you know.

434
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: So I feel like it definitely makes sense. So because

435
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think sometimes like like I said, now,

436
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be about your bread, yes, but I

437
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: feel like some opportunities you cannot pass up, and I

438
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: think that's what people have lost, like that work, that grind.

439
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I still be taking vibes. That's like, I know

440
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 5: this is gonna you know, catapult me. Right, if I

441
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 5: do this, it's gonna be a good look.

442
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: Sure you know.

443
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: So you gotta you gotta just give and take. You

444
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 4: pick your battles.

445
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 7: M That's true because sometimes the opportunity is gonna put

446
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 7: you in position to make the money.

447
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

448
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: You gotta look at the bigger at the bigger picture.

449
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 7: Trying to get anything gratification, sometimes you've got to meet

450
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 7: it for the long.

451
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So we're gonna get into this first top yeah now'

452
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, I like a little tea a little bit.

453
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: You don't name drop on the show, so we're not gonna.

454
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 4: Ask youthing crazy.

455
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: But obviously being in the music industry and everybody talks

456
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: about like the music industry is probably one of the

457
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: most controversial businesses ever, you know, like I truly feel

458
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: like it is. It's always something going on. So being

459
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: that you know you've been in the years, I mean

460
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: in the game for twenty years. You know your name

461
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: is clean. You know you've never been involved in nothing crazy,

462
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: no scandal, no nothing. But I wonder how it is

463
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: for somebody, like how do you navigate the industry when

464
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: there's always allegations going on with this person, that person

465
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: got black balled. You can't work with this person, and

466
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, also having integrity and morals as a person,

467
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: because there may be somebody who the public we don't

468
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: even know what's going on, but you know what they've done,

469
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: and you know how they are because niggas is weird. Sure,

470
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: So how do you navigate the industry with like the

Speaker 5: like I know what you know, what I'm here for,

477
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 5: you know, And a lot of times when people put

00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 5: themselves in situations, it be out of desperation. It be

479
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 5: you know, with them not looking at the you know,

480
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 5: longevity in this situation me personally, Look, I knew what

481
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 5: time it was. When I was first coming out, I

482
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 5: had a song if they look, I don't want right.

Speaker 5: I was in national, I was overseas, and I was

485
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 5: seeing how fast you can get just caught up. I'm like,

486
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 5: they these flusies a little it's easy, but I don't

487
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 5: want that easy cockboys, you know what I mean. And

488
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: I feel like stuff was just getting too crazy. I'm like,

489
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 5: it's a no for me. It's a no for me,

490
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 5: Like you know what I mean. I just I just

491
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 5: knew what I wanted out of this, you know, I

492
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 5: didn't want to take no shortcuts.

493
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 4: I didn't want to do it.

494
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 5: You know, in a way that was you know, edifying,

495
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 5: Like I just I just knew. You know, you can

496
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 5: make the decisions, conscious decisions, conscious efforts, and you know,

497
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 5: it comes a time, you know, when you're gonna be

498
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: placing the situation. You just got to make the right decision,

499
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: whether it's communicating to someone else, you know, whether it's

500
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 5: doing something you feel like you probably shouldn't be doing.

501
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 5: Like now that ain't came out, and nothing gonna come out,

502
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Because I'm just like, that's

503
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 5: not my lifestyle.

504
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 4: I'm here for a different reason.

505
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: You know.

506
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 7: I was just gonna say we thought it was an

507
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 7: interesting topic because you know, right now, I feel like

508
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 7: we're living in like canceled culture. Like people be so

509
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 7: ready to cancel somebody just by association of like working

510
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 7: with somebody being around them. Now they want to association

511
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 7: with the scandal that they got going on. It's just interesting,

512
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 7: like how people navigate in the industry and decide.

513
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: Who I'm gonna work with.

514
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 5: But the thing with me too is I go to

515
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 5: the studio and then when a song, then we're done.

516
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: You ain't gonna hang out ship. See, that's after the session,

517
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:20,919

00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 2: That's how you get caught up.

00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 5: knew that I know he would, you know what I'm saying.

526
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: So because your name was recently brought up in the

527
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,639

Speaker 1: that happened and your name gets brought up, do you

535
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,080

544
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,840

00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 5: person that you know, he speaks his mind, he speaks

546
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 5: his truth, and I respect him for that, you know.

547
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: What I mean. But yo, I don't know.

548
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was necessarily like real intentional,

549
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 5: like let's weed in mouth vibes, you know what I mean.

00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: So you weren't involved in that, like, oh well, this

554
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: is what he did and let me back doors. So

555
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: you didn't know none of that that was going on.

556
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 4: I didn't know. I didn't know. I know he felt

557
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 4: like yo, he trying to you know.

558
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: I mean, but I didn't look at it like that

559
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 5: because I work with hit Maker, I work with Diddy,

560
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: I work with everybody, you know.

561
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 4: What I mean. Looking at credit's goodie boy. It's not

562
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 4: just those two right right outside right.

563
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: But you were just like, hey, I'm coming here, I

564
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: got I got family, right okay, That's all I was like.

565
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: I was a little curious. I was like, hold on some.

566
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 4: Nah, no, no, I mean, you know, that's how you feel.

567
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 5: You know he's speaking in his mind, because I do

568
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 5: feel like you know, for a minute, hit Maker has

569
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 5: been killing it. Yeah, with different writers, different producers, with

570
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 5: different artists, consistently for years, over one hundred placements every quarter,

571
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. An nobody really doing what

572
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 5: he's doing. So you know, man, that's my dog. You

573
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 5: know I stand behind him too.

574
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: Have you ever been in the situation though, like like

575
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: you said, like when you were in a session, and

576
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: because we were talking about earlier, how you try to

577
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: like give your knowledge to like younger people that are

578
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: in the industry when it comes to business things. So

579
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: do you feel like you have to give that same

580
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: knowledge when it comes to like telling them how to navigate,

581
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: you know, dealing with the drugs and the girls and

582
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: things like that.

583
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 5: Telling people, and I'll be trying to lead by example,

584
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like I ain't afraid to

585
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 5: answer the hard questions. I ain't afraid to tell people

586
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 5: the things that I think will be better for them

587
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 5: because I know, you know what I mean, Like I'm

588
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 5: trying to save us. I want us to be good,

589
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 5: you know, I want to I want to stand in

590
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 5: the gap and you know, the the any mistakes that

591
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 5: I made or any lessons that I've learned.

592
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: I don't want the next person to make, you know

593
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 4: what I mean, like learn.

594
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 5: From the mistakes from the people that came before you,

595
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 5: you know. But I think the newer artists and newer songwriters,

596
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 5: it's tough because I even will give them some tidbits

597
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 5: and advice, and sometimes I see like, oh, you.

598
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 4: Got to learn on your own.

599
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta bump your head.

600
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: They do. And I think that's what's hard for me too,

601
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: because I see a lot of young like a lot

602
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: of young girls be asking me for advice, and I'd

603
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: be wan, go this way. I'm telling you, I said

604
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: that all time Lex went through that, even got to

605
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 1: go through that.

606
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 4: You ain't got to go through that.

607
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: But people be so hard headed.

608
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 5: So hard headed, and so like they just think that

609
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 5: the opportunities won't come again.

610
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: Right.

611
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 5: You gotta know that if you're doing your thing, you know,

612
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 5: and if you're in alignment, like can't nobody take what's yours.

613
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 7: But that comes with maturity though, because I do feel

614
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 7: like when I was younger too, I used to feel

615
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 7: the same way. It's like I don't know if I

616
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 7: don't know if it's gonna happen again. I don't know

617
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 7: if it's gonna come again now that I'm older. It's like,

618
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 7: like you said, you know what's for you. It's not

619
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 7: gonna meets you. I got for you for you, it

620
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 7: ain't gonna mess you.

621
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 5: It's simple, and it's gonna be better the next time

622
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 5: because you'll be more prepared.

623
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: So oh, I'm sorry, I got another question waiting to

624
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: talk this, So talk because I know you got some stories. Yeah,

625
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: talk to us about his time, Like you were probably

626
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: really excited. You don't have to say, but like talk

627
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: about the time that you were like really excited to

628
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: go in a session with an artist and they ended

629
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: up being like so difficult and you just did not

630
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: half a good time. He was like, I'm not working

631
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: with them again, like like.

632
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: And not work it again.

633
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: It ain't never been that bad.

634
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: Because working give me money. I'll go. I don't know.

635
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 5: Everybody's different though, you know what I mean. So, like,

636
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 5: you know, the process is always different from each artist.

637
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 5: But I try to, you know, have a conversation and

638
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 5: communicate before we ever start working. So I just know

639
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 5: how to approach, like Okay, do. I gotta let them

640
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 5: spirit heead are they gonna let me do?

641
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 12: Me?

642
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: Which one is it gonna be?

643
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 6: You know?

644
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 4: And each time I just kind of pay attention, and

645
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 4: I'm a chameleon.

646
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you like you kind of get along with everybody,

647
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: I really do.

648
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 4: It ain't no, I ain't coming back really like in

649
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 4: my life.

650
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you seem pretty easy, alright, you like it?

651
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: I love it. But a lot of artists now, especially

652
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: big artists, they have figured out some kind of loophole

653
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: to get songwriting credits.

654
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and they don't be song right. Oh that's

655
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 4: a lot. So yeah, I get that because the publishing

656
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 4: is you know, it's worth that. You know. That's how

657
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 4: you get your royalties, that's how you get paid.

658
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 6: You know.

659
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 5: So if I write a song one hundred percent and

660
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: the artists cut it, they gonna for show be like

661
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 5: like ten fifteen percent.

662
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 6: You know.

663
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: And it started off with the Yonce you know, like Yoncey.

664
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 5: Is a vibe like she's she's getting published on whatever song,

665
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 5: no matter what, because she's singing it and she's taking

666
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 5: it there, you know. So I kind of learned that

667
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 5: and was like okay, I get it, you know, and

668
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 5: I respect it, you know. So Now, even when somebody

669
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 5: write a song for me, if I didn't write on it,

670
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 5: guess what if I.

671
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 4: Had that harmony, didn't harmonize right like that, you feel me.

672
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: Like I need my pe You added my tone alone.

673
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 4: It's priceless, you know what I'm saying. So that's what

674
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 4: I feel like, Like she's taking that song.

675
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's making it a Beyonce record.

676
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can go over there and keep it and

677
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 5: give it to you know one else whoever and get

678
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 5: one hundred percent of nothing, or you can get fifty

679
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 5: of a whole lot.

680
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: Hell, Okay, that makes sense now that you put it

681
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: that way, because I know so many people are like, oh,

682
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: she didn't write that, or they got fifteen writers on

683
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: the song and x y Z. But I think a

684
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of times people don't know how samples work too.

685
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: So if you sample something, you have to credit everybody

686
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: from the original song.

687
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 6: Man.

688
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 5: That's the thing too, Like a to the producers out there,

689
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,800

722
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 4: I didn't even know that, Like I didn't even hear

723
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

724
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: I always shocked every time.

725
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 4: I mean, we got a credit because you see the

726
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 4: real name when the publish be like, dam, I didn't

727
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 4: even know it's a sample. We sampling.

728
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, but if it's something that we didn't even notice,

729
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 5: we needed to play that core progression a.

730
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 4: Game my dog.

731
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't necessary because you know whose family gonna

732
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: show up every time. Marvin Guy saying said if you

733
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: listen the drum and I need my money, you can't say.

734
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 4: If that's what I'm saying, bro, trying to get paid.

735
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you you kind of feel like sample and

736
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: it's like we need.

737
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 3: To let that hotel because my thing is okay.

738
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 7: If it's like if it's a sample, I feel you

739
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 7: or what you're saying because it's like, if it's a

740
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 7: sample of something that nobody has sampled in a long time,

741
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 7: then cool. But it's like we'll be having multiple songs

742
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 7: with the same same time at the same time.

743
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: It's like God Dawn.

744
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 4: Family, like Claric Clear, Claric Clarky, Yes, I've.

745
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: Seen this happen because you know, Cardi just released her freestyle, yeah,

746
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: and then Bea had that song. But also what's the

747
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: guy's name? A slump God had a read a freestyle

748
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: to that, and then he like said something. He was like, oh,

749
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: this sounds familiar, and so all the fan bases started,

750
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: are you and you know how the fan bases are,

751
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, this would have never happened if

752
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: everybody like the song should have been remade one time,

753
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: then we gotta move on to another beat.

754
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that family is like running we can get

755
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 5: paid every time. We don't know which one gonna actually

756
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 5: go pop off ate.

757
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: By the way, you know, like every version of the

758
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: song I've heard has been fired, you know, but right,

759
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: but it comes with people arguing, oh, you stole my flow,

760
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: Oh you stole this, you stole that.

761
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 7: It's just like the crazy thing is y'all took somebody, y'all, somebody,

762
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 7: somebody listen, man, my music has been sample.

763
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 4: I got songs out there that's I'm like, Wow, you.

764
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: Be getting checks from and you be like, I'm not

765
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: even getting.

766
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 4: Checks from people just sampling my music.

767
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: See that's why. But see I'm gonna let it rise.

768
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 4: Up a little bit.

769
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you something.

770
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 13: Over there.

771
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: I'm watching.

772
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: But you know, a lot of artists now are telling

773
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: people no, because I've seen an instance where Sierra had

774
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: told a rapper no she wanted to sample goodies or something,

775
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: and she was like, straight up no, and the girl

776
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: got mad and went off say this, y'all gonna stop

777
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: disrespecting the legend.

778
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 4: Stop it.

779
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, be playing with the like playing.

780
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: On Sierra top because she all had us one too

781
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: stiff and bitch, you know what I'm saying. So I'd

782
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: be like, if you want to use a sample, but

783
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: the artist tells, you know, I think you just need

784
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: to take that.

785
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 5: As a sign and just keep when the people do

786
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 5: the sample and then they drop it anyway, and then

787
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 5: after you see the artists come out like yo, they

788
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 5: asked me to clear this and I said no, Oh,

789
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 5: my god, that'd be a whole nother thing.

790
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I with Kanye.

791
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 4: That's a whole another thing. That's kind of like, I'm

792
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 4: not doing that. It's respected.

793
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little crazy.

794
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 7: And maybe they saying no because they just didn't like

795
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 7: the song. Maybe you should go back in the move.

796
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 7: Maybe it wouldn't they good.

797
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: Well, pier the climb. It needed to beat the climbed.

798
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. They need for sure.

799
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 12: It was.

800
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 4: No, it's a double double.

801
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: Said not my legacy. I felt on that one. I

802
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: said no. Yeah, so we're gonna switch in.

803
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: You were talking about your family earlier.

804
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I definitely wanted to segue into our next

805
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 7: topic because we wanted to talk about the pressures of

806
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 7: getting married. Yeah, a black man, like, do you feel

807
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 7: like as a black man there's pressure to get married.

808
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: I just having a conversation with somebody.

809
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 4: Get married or not get married?

810
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: To get married?

811
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: Pressure to get married from your spot, I think from society.

812
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 4: I feel like people frown up married.

813
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: Well, I think the pressure is now because of what

814
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: we've seen so far, you know, black men not being

815
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: in the homes, not being present fathers, not marrying, black women.

816
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: So I feel like now in twenty twenty four, it's

817
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on black men to get married

818
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: that sometimes now that I'm noticing, a lot of people

819
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: are in situations and marrying people that they necessarily don't

820
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: want to marry because it's so much pressure now to

821
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: undo what you know, our parents and our great parents

822
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: have done.

823
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: So you think it's more pressure now.

824
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it's a lot of pressure now because

825
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: it was nothing back in the day they was married, was.

826
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 2: Normal, get married, you know what people wanted to do.

827
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now we're in a society where it's like, oh,

828
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't need a man. I don't need a man,

829
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: and now we're trying to undo that independent mentality. But

830
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: now we're pressuring people get married.

831
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 4: And it's like, right, I do see that, and I

832
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 4: do feel that.

833
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 6: I do.

834
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 4: You know, see people that have been maybe together for

835
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 4: a long time, we'd be like, all right, we're gonna

836
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 4: get married now.

837
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 6: You know.

838
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I was.

839
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 5: I was opposite. I grew up with two parents married,

840
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And I think it's also

841
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 5: what you see, right, is your normal? You know that

842
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 5: was my normal, you know, to have a family to

843
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 5: grow up.

844
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: That's why your love music so good. But you grew

845
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: up in a house you love not.

846
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 4: Survive the lost for sure, that was me. I grew

847
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 4: up in moms and pops.

848
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 5: Pops was at work, Moms was making them there, sending

849
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 5: me to school in the morning.

850
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 4: You know, we go to church every Sunday. Like that

851
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 4: was our vibe. That was our vibe, you know.

852
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 5: So now here we are and I'm doing the same thing. Yeah,

853
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 5: like picking fence vibes.

854
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: I know that's right, because how long have you married?

855
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 4: About to be ten years?

856
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: So talk about me though, like when you met her,

857
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: Like when did you know?

858
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 4: First night?

859
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 5: First night, first night we hung out, you know, like

860
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 5: I've known her for a long time. But when we

861
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 5: actually like, you know, hang that first night, it was like, man,

862
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 5: you you learning me some ship right now? This ain't

863
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 5: just me putting you on, you putting me up on,

864
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 5: you know. And I think once I realized that she's

865
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 5: also older than me, you know what I'm saying. So

866
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 5: it was like I was used to you know, younger

867
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 5: girls or my age, but you know, for me personally,

868
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 5: once I had that vibe, I was like, ooh, I

869
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 5: need you, like that it's not a one that's a need.

870
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

871
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the age? Yah, because I'm older than my years. Okay,

872
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: I'm only like two right, uh two and a half,

873
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: it's four on. I like that, but okay, so older

874
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: than my dad.

875
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 5: She was just the woman is a little I don't know,

876
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 5: because it's like, you know, the man is supposed to lead, yeah,

877
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 5: but when a woman got some experience and the man

878
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 5: is educated, he's gonna listen. But when the woman also understands,

879
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 5: like yo, the man is supposed to lead, yeah, and

880
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 5: she still knows her power but allows him to lead.

881
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: That balance that's an unmatched balance.

882
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 4: And I truly is. I ain't seen her the whole tour.

883
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 5: She pulled up on me last night, so I had

884
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 5: a great noise, said me me in ATM.

885
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: You know, me will.

886
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 7: Question if I can stop laughing.

887
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: I was actually having this conversation with somebody the other

888
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: day and they were basically telling me, because I want

889
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: to know how you feel about it. They were saying,

890
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: modern women in our generation, we don't know how to

891
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: let a man lead anymore.

892
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: Do you feel like that's a big thing with our generation?

893
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 5: I do feel like the new ones maybe like if

894
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 5: you lay by IG, yeah, forget about it. The IG

895
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 5: energy of memes and everything is just pro you know,

896
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 5: independent women. Yeah, as opposed to pro support your man,

897
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. You got your people who

898
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 5: might have seen it and you know want to do it.

899
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 5: But then the majority, I do feel is single parent led,

900
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So it's like that's the normal.

901
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: But I do feel like there's a difference between supporting

902
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: your man and struggling with your man. And I think

903
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: that there has been this thing where black men women

904
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: we gotta be ridtered eye and we got to go

905
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: through the struggle to be on top. And I feel

906
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: like to see the potential and for me, maybe it's

907
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: a little different for girls in their twenties, but like

908
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm thirty four. I'm not struggling. I don't

909
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: want to be with somebody who' struggling. I'm not saying

910
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: that you have to be at your final form. I

911
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: don't struggle no more. I went through that already. I

912
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: don't believe in struggle love. We can love each other,

913
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not. I struggle by myself and I'm

914
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: went you that and it was very hard, but now

915
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: I am enjoying the fruits of my labor. I'm not

916
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: where I want to be yet. I'm not I'm not

917
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 1: a millionaire yet. I'm making very good money, I'm very blessed,

918
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: but I'm not at my full potential yet. So I

919
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: can be with a man who he's not as full potential,

920
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: but I'm not being with a man who I have

921
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 1: to struggle with. And when I say struggle, I don't

922
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: mean just like financially, I mean I want somebody who's

923
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: emotionally available. I need a god fearing man. I need

924
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: all of that thing. I need all of that. So

925
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: I think now it's like a lot of women are

926
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: independent because not that they necessarily have to be, but

927
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like sometimes we're women are always

928
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: ahead of men. We know when it comes to mature

929
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: where we are. So a lot of times women see

930
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: they don't see the benefit of being with a man

931
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: sometimes Sometimes, like I said, sometimes you meet a man

932
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, this brings value. Yeah, So I

933
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: feel like it's two sides to it, you know what

934
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's definitely two sides to it. But like

935
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: I always say, I'm a real lover I'm a throw

936
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: but I.

937
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 7: Love But I have a question, especially you because you're

938
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 7: married already, But do you feel like you could be

939
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 7: in a marriage and you can do what you want

940
00:43:59,520 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 7: to do?

941
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't even do that in a relation, But I'm

942
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: saying I think that.

943
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 7: That's why a lot of women want to be single,

944
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 7: and a lot of people want to be independent because

945
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 7: they don't want to be in a situation where they

946
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 7: feel like somebody is like they have to consider someone

947
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 7: else's steelings. People want to do what they want to

948
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 7: do and be in a relationship, and I don't think

949
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 7: that always goes hand in hand.

950
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 5: That's built, That trust is built, you know, to do

951
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 5: what you want to do once you get in a relationship.

952
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 5: It's about the both of you. But if you build

953
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 5: enough trust, the slack extends, you know what I'm saying, Like,

954
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 5: she's not she's not calling me, like I don't get

955
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 5: that call, I don't get that text. Ever, curious, it's

956
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 5: me chasing her. The chase is still a lot.

957
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 4: She ain't hitting me.

958
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: Is still a lot. I hope y'all heard that. The

959
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: chase is still I say that all the time.

960
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 5: You gotta chase, you gotta want like the man gotta chase.

961
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 5: If it's the woman chasing check out.

962
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 1: You lost, gonna lose every time when you're doing too much,

963
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: when you cannot do too much. And like you said,

964
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: she don't be blowing you up because she brings you peace.

965
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 4: What do we think I need to call her? Like,

966
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 4: this is what's going on?

967
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 10: What you mean?

968
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 5: No, it's a real, real thing, you know, And I

969
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 5: think it starts with the woman being confident and secure.

970
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 4: I agree, you know what I'm saying.

971
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 5: And the man, you know, at the end of the day,

972
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 5: it's like you gotta want it, you know what I mean.

973
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 5: Like a lot of times men is.

974
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: Trying to hit that and that's just what it is. Yeah, yeah,

975
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: that's just what it is.

976
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 5: So now you got to find someone who's actually after

977
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 5: you know, a resurgence, you know what I mean, Like

978
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 5: they want to feel good, they want to feel good

979
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 5: in a relationship, because there is still people that want relationships.

980
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 4: You just have to find those people, you know.

981
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 5: And I think when you're working on yourself, like as

982
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 5: a woman or as a man, that's when it all

983
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 5: comes together. Like you said, they ain't got to be

984
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 5: you know, full potential. But I do feel you like,

985
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 5: if you are in the right direction. You know, if

986
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 5: I could see you know, these are your goals, these

987
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 5: are the things that you're after.

988
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: You know, then I can give you some attention and

989
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: then I see you actually work. Because there's a difference

990
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: between saying you want to do something and actually doing it.

991
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: I need to see that action. Are you getting up

992
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,479
Speaker 1: every day? I paid to shape? We were talking about

993
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: working out earlier. Are you getting up in there? Are

994
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: you taking care of your body? Are you making sure

995
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: you're you know, meditating or whatever it is you need

996
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: to release, Like, are you taking care of yourself mentally?

997
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: I mean?

998
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 7: And like he's saying, you have to find someone who

999
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 7: wants to be in a relationship with you. I feel

1000
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 7: like women don't take heed to those red flags. They

1001
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 7: be feeling like, oh, I'm so amazing. I can give

1002
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 7: him the like me and he gonna want to be

1003
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,919
Speaker 7: with me when he already done showed you he don't

1004
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 7: want to be in a relationship.

1005
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 2: You need to find somebody who want what you want.

1006
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 4: That's it, man, that's it. And ask those questions if

1007
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 4: you feel like you can't ask the.

1008
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 7: Questions, because people do say that a lot too. They

1009
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 7: be like, oh, it's early in a relationship. I don't

1010
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 7: know if I should ask them if they want to

1011
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 7: get married. I don't know if I should ask them

1012
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 7: if they want kids, because they might scare them away.

1013
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 2: Do you want to scare them away?

1014
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 4: It's not scaring them away to me, especially your.

1015
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: Thirty that's the first day question.

1016
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: That's the first date question, because I don't want a

1017
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: second date.

1018
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 7: If you don't want kids and you don't want marriage,

1019
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 7: why are we on the second day?

1020
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 4: They gonna keep it.

1021
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 5: I think guys have come to the place where they're

1022
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 5: honest to I don't even think that many liars.

Speaker 1: they be on first dance and the man will be like,

1067
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: keep it real. And I will say one thing that's

1068
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: benefited benefited me in all aspects of life is being myself. Yes,

1069
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: I agree, because I have been that girl. I try

1070
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: to mold myself into my thought man wanted. Even when

1071
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: I was like on social media trying to figure out

1072
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do with like entertainment wise, I

1073
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: was trying to be something that wasn't me, and it

1074
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,479
Speaker 1: never caught on until I started sitting down and talking

1075
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: to these cameras and being myself, approaching these men as myself.

1076
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 1: That's when everything fell into place. Everything going to place.

1077
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: You gotta be one hunted.

1078
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 7: But I'm gonna ask you too, though, do you feel

1079
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 7: like it's pressure as a black woman to get married?

1080
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: You know what?

1081
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 7: I think I'll say this because sometimes I feel like

1082
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 7: it's even more pressure on us than it is on

1083
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 7: the mend from society or family, but.

1084
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: Anxiety, well, I feel like it's my family, especially with kids.

1085
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 7: I don't get me because I'm thirty and I'll have

1086
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 7: hesy and my family always be like, when are you

Speaker 4: Get right?

1090
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1091
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: Like my like my mom has passed, but before she

1092
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: used to always be like when my grandpa, Yeah, where

1093
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: it's time, like you know.

1094
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 2: Because they were having kids in like twenty one my mom.

1095
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, my mom had me when she was twenty three. Yeah.

1096
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: So I do I feel like it's pressure period to

1097
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: get married, because honestly, especially in our thirties, I can

1098
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: say every time I talk about anything on the show,

1099
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: they're like, what she married. It's like I can't have

1100
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 1: an opinion if I'm not married. So I do feel

1101
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 1: it definitely comes with pressure from society as a woman period.

1102
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a black woman thing. I mean

1103
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: people value married women more. I do feel that way

1104
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: because they feel like a lot of people feel like

1105
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: getting a man is the pinnacle of life and you've

1106
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: won just because you're married. But they don't realize a

1107
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, it's very rare. We see

1108
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: a switch suation like you where y'all are happily married,

1109
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: beautiful family. That's very rare, and you're very blessed because

1110
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,240
Speaker 1: a lot of times these women are telling their stories

1111
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: and they're telling their truth. They're unhappy.

1112
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I said black women because I feel like it

1113
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 7: is more pressure on Black women though, because we.

1114
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 2: Have the most women that aren't married than any other race.

1115
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: Really that is that, that is true. But and you

1116
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: have to realize we like they get married at they

1117
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: get married. But I'm telling you why they are marrying.

1118
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: But you know why because you have to realize that

1119
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: goes back into us talking about the independence. A lot

1120
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: of these women they are married because they teach them.

1121
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 2: That's true.

1122
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 1: Hey, I had a grand who was in high school.

1123
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: She got pregnant for a man who had a lot

1124
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: of money. She was sixteen and he was like twenty

1125
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: twenty one, and her mom was like, no, you're having

1126
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: this baby? Yeah, because he would he played sports. And

1127
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: this is a white family. But that's what they teach

1128
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: because guess what her mom has been her whole life

1129
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: a house. So you have to realize a lot of

1130
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: these people are married because they have arranged marriages. Yeah,

1131
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: you know, in their culture, they teach that a man

1132
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: is supposed to be a provider. We don't teach that

1133
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 1: in our community. So, yes, we are the most unmarried demographic,

1134
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: but you have to look at the reasonings behind it,

1135
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's deeper than a lot

1136
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: of people like to say Black women are the most

1137
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: unwanted demographic and that's why we're unmarried. That's not the truth.

1138
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: It goes way deeper than that and to other reasonings.

1139
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying that other races settle. That's not

1140
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But there's a lot of different factors

1141
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: that goes into why Black women are unmarried. Because you

1142
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: know what we've realized, like now we have options, you

1143
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Instagram and everybody.

1144
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 4: It's so many things right right there.

1145
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: And when I say options, I don't mean dating wise.

1146
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean like a lot of women are choosing to

1147
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: be alone and they enjoy, they try of the world,

1148
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: they do X y Z. There's more. There's more to

1149
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: I want marriage for myself, so I'm not speaking on

1150
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: me personal. I'm just speaking for the women out there

1151
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: who don't want to get married. But to me, when

1152
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 1: I do get married, that's not gonna be my biggest

1153
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: accomplishment in life. My opinion is not gonna all of

1154
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: a sudden have more weight just because I married a man.

1155
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: Been getting niggas, ben had niggas want to marry me,

1156
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: That ain't. I don't give So when people say we're

1157
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: not doing.

1158
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 7: That, she's to say I was going to be married twice.

1159
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 7: As I get older, I'm like, no, I want to

1160
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 7: do it one time.

1161
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't. And I think people need to realize too.

1162
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: A lot of times y'all see women, they're like, oh,

1163
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,879
Speaker 1: she's not married. She's not married because she doesn't want

1164
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: to be.

1165
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, why do people always think it's not the woman's choice?

1166
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 4: Right?

1167
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 7: Men definitely decide whether or not they want to marry

1168
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 7: you because they're the ones that proposal. I mean, I

1169
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 7: mean women be proposing to But that ain't here related

1170
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 7: that I'm not getting on one knee and ask me personally,

1171
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 7: you know, I like, but that's one thing the man

1172
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 7: is supposed to do.

1173
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 4: It's supposed to happen. It's supposed to happen.

1174
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm super traditional when I'm never getting on my knee,

1175
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: get one for one thing.

1176
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 5: Listen but listen, the time is the place, and it's

1177
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 5: appropriate when it's time.

1178
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: That's what I say.

1179
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 4: But I feel you on that, not the question.

1180
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm telling you that's starting all wrong. You got

1181
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 5: to chase the man, got the man. It's in our

1182
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 5: nature to chase. You feel me so like, I don't know,

1183
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 5: Like I just I'm thankful, you know what I mean.

1184
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 4: I'm talking about to this.

1262
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 7: to want to talk about this is me and my

1263
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 7: best friend went out last night and went to dinner

1264
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 7: and I had ordered oyster and.

1265
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: Then you started kissing.

1266
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 6: No.

1267
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 7: No, But it's it's funny to me because people say, like,

1268
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 7: oysters are afro dj like you know what I mean?

1269
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 7: But I feel like every time I eat oysters, I

1270
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 7: don't be horny, like I don't.

1271
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 4: Think that's.

1272
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: You know what I think? It depends on me.

1273
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: You don't like oysters at all, trying.

1274
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: You don't like none of them?

1275
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 7: Give me some crap, you know, I agree, and I

1276
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 7: don't really like it, and I honestly don't like the

1277
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 7: raw ones. Like the raw ones are the ones that

1278
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 7: people say are the afro dj I think once they're.

1279
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Like coop, So I like raw. So let me I

1280
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 2: can't eat if they're REALI.

1281
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: Let me break it down. So I think, to me personally, now,

1282
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: afro djacs there's a science to it of something that's

1283
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: in a hormone that gets released to your body. You

1284
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: can look it up while I talk. But for me,

1285
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: afro djacs are more so of the actions. So when

1286
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm eating chocolate, I'm not a sweet person. But if

1287
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm eating chocolates usually like like Valentine's Day, I'm eating dessert.

1288
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: It's at the end of the day. So I'm like, oh,

1289
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: I need something else sweet. If I'm eating an oyster,

1290
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sucking, he's slurfing the you know.

1291
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 4: I think it's the action that it is great.

1292
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's suggestive. Eating oyster is very suggestive, So I

1293
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: think more for me the action is like okay. Because

1294
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: on my first day when my boyfriend we we had

1295
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: oysters and I was watching he was eating them oysters.

1296
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 11: Girl, I said, yeah, he's gonna get a whole thing

1297
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 11: to the top and run into the What.

1298
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 6: Was that.

1299
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 12: He was?

1300
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 3: He was like, he would, but he didn't do all that.

1301
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 4: It's a different type of sampler.

1302
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: But I was like, I was definitely watching them eat

1303
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: them oysters. I was like, he was eating his oysters.

1304
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 4: I did.

1305
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 2: And you know, so I for me, huh, I said,

1306
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 2: you giddy?

1307
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, But like I said, it's science for me,

1308
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: is the suggestiveness that comes with you know what he

1309
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: was doing. He knew what he was doing, and he

1310
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: knew what he did. Hey, let me start, But what

1311
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: is the same.

1312
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 7: A full drink or drugs? They stimulate sexual desires.

1313
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, I just feel like it's more so

1314
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: of that action. Is there anything that y'all drink or

1315
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: do that makes you feel like more in the vibe

1316
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: outside of the wine? Drink?

1317
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 4: Do it the drink?

1318
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: Just be like you ain't gonna do it everybody.

1319
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Let's turn off. See.

1320
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: I think there's a line with the alcohol though, because

1321
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: I sure you. I do not like being too drunk.

1322
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: You gotta be tipsy.

1323
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 5: It's the amount, yeah, because too much I'm in the bathroom,

1324
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 5: you're in the bathroom and.

1325
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 4: Or she in the bathroom. I'm not trying to have that.

1326
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: So when you drink like a wine or you have

1327
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: maybe one shot, yeah, like I said, it's how you

1328
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: feel the juices start, the juices start flowing in more

1329
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: than one just a little. So I do believe in

1330
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: AFROD definitely. I think they set the vibe.

1331
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 7: But I never really see people eat food and I'm like, ooh,

1332
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 7: that's sixty I want you to eat me like that.

1333
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 4: You yeah, might not translate.

1334
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, But like I said, I think it's the vibe

1335
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: because it'd be everything. It's like you in a dim

1336
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: lit restaurant. That's the thing we need to bring back

1337
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 1: to nicely lit restaurants. We need to bring back where

1338
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: it was like the whole restaurant was a bunch of booths.

1339
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: Y'all got all these hot tables.

1340
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 7: Let people sit down and get romantic because you know

1341
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 7: what they be doing in the moves.

1342
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: I know, because I'll be doing in the boot.

1343
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 4: Activity going on.

1344
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: But we already know when you go to dinner, like

1345
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be sitting next to each other.

1346
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 4: I know about that, Like.

1347
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: You're supposed sit next to each other. We supposed gazing

1348
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,240

1349
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,160

1350
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 2: I feel like, let to see somebody's sweet.

01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 7: That's weird though, they said, they say doing so much.

1352
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 7: If you go out to dinner with your partner and

Speaker 5: I want to definitely look in your eyes. Yeah, but

1355
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 5: sometimes I do want to feel like I.

Speaker 4: To get past the taste. Yeah, because the whole joint

01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: I love it like we are advocates for lingerie. It's

1375
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: when I heard that song, I say, yeah, this is

1376
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: my anthem because I'm a lingerie girl and I'm like

1377
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: the girl we have to stop just you know, putting

1378
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: on whatever. Sometimes you need let your pennies in your

1379
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: bra match a little bit. Let it mad.

1380
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 2: You know, are wary to begin with.

1381
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's a fantasy being naked.

1382
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 2: Just being naked off the real that's like young, She's

1383
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 2: spurt out.

1384
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 4: I need the process. Yeah, I need to lay down

1385
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 4: and wonder if it's gonna happen. Yeah, I don't want

1386
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 4: to know. I need this smooth.

1387
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 5: I needed slow off got I had a tone. I

1388
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 5: told you it's a fifty fifty. But you know, because

1389
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 5: the thing is, I made the song that I felt

1390
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 5: was missing, you know what I mean, So like, yeah,

1391
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 5: we could put the TP too long.

1392
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 4: I know you will listen. It's FDA proved.

1393
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 5: Because something about my songs, they're authentic, they're organic, and

1394
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 5: they really hear my.

1395
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,280

Speaker 1: my god, my nigga upstates with me.

1397
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 4: Either it's an obsession.

1398
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: It is like you meant that when you were singing.

1399
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: I felt that I really did know you did. It

1400
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: was like that, that's one of my favorite songs.

1401
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 4: You listen to the Eric Bellinger albums, all of them

1402
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:53,480

Speaker 2: So you had a little b.

1407
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: So y'all know I've already talked about my other two

1408
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: bocks of the week. Those have been my bops of

1409
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,439
Speaker 1: the week in the past. We talked about La Perla,

1410
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: we talked about obsessions. Those are my bops. But I

1411
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: do have a different bop of the week. This artist.

1412
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: I found her on TikTok. Her name is Aquila and

1413
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: she has a song called Bloom that went viral on

1414
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: TikTok and it was one of them songs that went

1415
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: viral and she only had a clip and we were

1416
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: all waiting for this song to be dropped. And like

1417
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: I say all the time, sometimes you hear a little

1418
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: sample of a song, then you hear the whole song.

1419
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: You be like, this is ass as.

1420
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 4: They put the perfect part.

1421
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: They put the perfect parts, and you hear you be like,

1422
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: but she dropped this song. And when I tell you,

1423
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: it has been on repeat, on repeat, on repeat. It

1424
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: is such a good song. I just like feel good music.

1425
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: I like love music. It's a good R and B song,

1426
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,160

1427
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: back to love. Yeah. I keep saying that. That's why

1428
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: I love your music because you talk about love a

1429
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: lot and being in love, and I think that's what

1430
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: shit is missing. So Aquila, you spell her name A

1431
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: y q I l A. And this song is called Bloom.

1432
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful song period for the R and B people.

1433
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 4: Amazing what you let me think?

Speaker 2: Okay?

1449
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 7: So I've been listening to four bats okay on my

1450
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 7: playlist ACT two Day to Day.

1451
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that song.

1452
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,600
Speaker 2: So I heard it on TikTok and I was like, oh,

1453
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 2: let me go listen to the house.

1454
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, it's really good. That's a good song.

1455
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,600
Speaker 1: And that's what I'll be saying about TikTok. Sometimes they

1456
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: be knowing a little song, songs, little snippy snippers will

1457
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: put you on something. So how has that affected the

1458
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: industry now that a lot of the TikTok music got pulled?

1459
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 4: I really ain't got that's interesting. I'm happy you are.

1460
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 4: I'm old.

1461
01:09:55,439 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to like I'm trying to. I'm trying

1462
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 5: to drop and keep it going, you know what I mean.

1463
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 5: So I understand you know, and that that's where a

1464
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 5: lot of the songs were breaking. But listen, if you

1465
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:12,759
Speaker 5: don't move with the times, you get left behind.

1466
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 4: Here is what it is.

1467
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 5: Ain't no TikTok no more that what you're gonna do.

1468
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 5: Got to change to the top. Now you feel let's

1469
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 5: keep these keep it even playing ground, it always changed,

1470
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So I'm like, yo, whatever

1471
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:32,759
Speaker 5: you gotta do to make us find you, you gotta adjust.

1472
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that that makes a big difference too, because,

1473
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 1: like I said on TikTok, good songs do go viral,

1474
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 1: but a lot of the times it's like you kind

1475
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 1: of lucked up and had a creator make something fire

1476
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 1: that everybody else kind of wanted to emulate. You got lucky,

1477
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:49,719
Speaker 1: I got Yeah, you got lucky.

1478
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 4: And it went by.

1479
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,600
Speaker 1: That's why I feel like sometimes the music nowadays is

1480
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: watered down because people got caught even some of the

1481
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: legends in the game got caught up and trying to

1482
01:10:58,800 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: make a TikTok.

1483
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 4: Hitch make a times yeah.

1484
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we got to get back.

01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 7: this will be my first time going out of time

1506
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 7: with a guy for a link up. I know y'all

1507
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,360

1508
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 7: I plan on going and having a good time, but

1509
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 7: I just don't want shit to go left and I'm

1510
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 7: in the middle of some bs. We've only facetimed and

1511
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 7: talks on the phone, but I can't really vibe with

1512
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 7: someone unless we are in person, So I really don't

1513
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 7: know if I like him for real, but I'm always

1514
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 7: down for a good time.

1515
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 2: ILL don't judge.

1516
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 4: That's great, that's a great, honest you know it is.

1517
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 1: But I feel like when I was twenty three, like

1518
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 1: you should go sure you so, don't fabagated, don't be

1519
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: obligated to do anything, yep, and make sure you can

1520
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: get back.

1521
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 7: That's the key, because you have the money, and I

1522
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 7: could get mad.

1523
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: You've never had a situation to where I went on

1524
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:59,799
Speaker 1: a bathroom taking it from experience, Yeah, stuck in Mexico.

1525
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 2: I was stuck in Miami, but I had but I

1526
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 2: had the money to.

1527
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Get the money to get back. Thank god. I remember

1528
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: the conversation we had because you was like, girl, I

1529
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:10,640
Speaker 1: got to pay like four hundred dollars to get a

1530
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: ticket on the way back one way and he was

1531
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: one way, and I want to start local.

1532
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 4: Say bro, we could go to Licking.

1533
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 3: Got the fire, Simon saying, but I go to what

1534
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

1535
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: So when Drea called me, I was like four hundred

1536
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: dollars to get back, I said, I'm bitch, I ain't

1537
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: got it. I would have been on the right now,

1538
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 1: said I was thinking in my head, Oh my god,

1539
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: but I would I would have definitely been strained. I

1540
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: would have to call my mom or call my sister. Kiss.

1541
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: But I would say Luckily for me, all the situations

1542
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 1: I had in my twenties, it ended up being a

1543
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:50,759
Speaker 1: good time. I never got stuck anywhere.

1544
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I do.

1545
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: I do think you should go, but always be prepared

1546
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: in case things go not like you want. So if

1547
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 1: you have to get another hotel, you can do that.

1548
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. Because I don't like the fact.

1549
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: That women feel obligated to do things on a flyout.

1550
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: You know. Now, me personally, I don't fly out with

1551
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 1: people that I know, Like, if I'm flying out, what

1552
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: you already want with some like we're not going anywhere

1553
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 1: if I like, because I like to have that's a lot. Yes,

1554
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 1: but it's like if it's the first state type of situation,

1555
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: you may not x y Z. So I would say go,

1556
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: don't go empty handed because I always talk about my trip.

1557
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: I went to Tobai one time. I had three dollars,

1558
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: but I had a good time. I was with my

1559
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: boot at the time, and I have fun. He used

1560
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: to take me everywhere two dollars in my pocket. You

1561
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: got backstage, I mean, but he would leave me with

1562
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: a little some something. Time was had, but I was

1563
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,639
Speaker 1: young having fun. Now things are different now, I wouldn't

1564
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: do it.

1565
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would do now.

1566
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: I would definitely not do that.

1567
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 7: Now he's twenty three, girl, I say, go, you like him,

1568
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 7: see how we goes, because I mean, I think that'll

1569
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 7: let you know too if you really like him, Because

1570
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 7: you really get to know somebody when you go out

1571
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 7: of town with them.

1572
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you go out of time with them, when

1573
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 2: you live with them, that's when you really.

1574
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 4: Get that A long time.

1575
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, like see how tapped in they are, See how

1576
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 5: clocked in they are, see how focused they are. But

1577
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 5: I definitely say go, you know, have a good time,

1578
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 5: just you know, know your boundaries. But at the same time,

1579
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 5: like you said, just go willing to have a good time.

1580
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,679
Speaker 1: Be open minded. I hate going on vacation with people

1581
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 1: who complain, yeah and be like I don't like this,

Speaker 4: Don't I lived that.

1604
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: It was like he was giving it up.

1605
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 2: Honestly, hedn't even say bye.

1606
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 1: He just let I walk up.

1607
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 4: I was like, no note on the night thing, It's

1608
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 4: just me.

1609
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 1: I wrong home. He was like les, I said.

1610
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 5: But now you know your answer though, Yeah, I mean,

1611
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 5: unless you found out quicker, you didn't waste that time.

1612
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Question number two it says, Hey, I'm

1613
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: twenty six years old. I'll be twenty seven in July.

1614
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: The both of you really inspire me and push me

1615
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 1: to get into my podcasting bag. I hate that. I

1616
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:03,640
Speaker 1: feel like I need to be further than where I

1617
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: am in life, but I know I'm still young. And

1618
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,640
Speaker 1: I know God has life already planned for me, So

1619
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: I just need to learn not to rush and to

1620
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: not be so hard on myself. I'm to myself in

1621
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: very private so that's why it's hard for me to

1622
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: start my podcasting slash content creation journey. I already be

1623
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: getting a thousand plus views on TikTok, so I need

1624
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,719
Speaker 1: to learn to use that as my platform to promote

1625
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 1: my podcast and YouTube channel. Any tips or advice on

1626
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: how to stay consistent and how to plan and stay organized. Also,

1627
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: the dating pool is pissy as fuck, But listening to

1628
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: y'all over the years, I've heard that a lot, and

1629
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank y'all once again. Okay,

1630
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: so I think we can all give advice on this

1631
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: being creative. So what is some advice you can give

1632
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 1: to somebody that's trying to get in the creative space

1633
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: and like you know, they don't know exactly how.

1634
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 4: To do it or what to do well.

1635
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 5: First off, I see she was saying that she didn't

1636
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 5: want her business out there. You gotta know the first

1637
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,680
Speaker 5: thing they're doing is digging into who you are, who

1638
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 5: you date, where you stayed, what you do for a living.

1639
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 5: Like they digging into yoga at first, so maybe take

1640
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 5: a few years to do some cleanup, and uh man,

1641
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 5: you just got to be ready for that.

1642
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:23,839
Speaker 4: You know, you got to be ready to be judged.

1643
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: No what you want, even if you are private, you're

1644
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: gonna be judged.

1645
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 4: You're going to be judged.

1646
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 5: And you know, I think that part is, you know,

1647
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 5: the first test, that's just scratching the surface, you know,

1648
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 5: but yeah, that's that's one thing. And then after that,

1649
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 5: you know, it's deeper than you wanting to do it.

1650
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 5: It's more so about is there a necessity for you

1651
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 5: to be in that space? What are you doing that's

1652
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 5: gonna make us, you know, tap in?

1653
01:18:58,320 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 6: You know.

1654
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 5: Like so I encourage everybody to follow their dreams and

1655
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 5: follow their plans, but just know it's it's deeper than

1656
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:05,560
Speaker 5: you know.

1657
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 4: Like people see y'all doing it, I'm sure they don't

1658
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 4: know half what y'all go through.

1659
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what we've been through with the show.

1660
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 7: Like, I don't know when people ask me how to

1661
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 7: stay consistent, it's always a weird thing because I feel

1662
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 7: like it shouldn't be hard to be consistent with something

1663
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,840
Speaker 7: you love or something you want to do. So then

1664
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 7: it's like, if it's hard for you to stay consistent,

1665
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,519
Speaker 7: is this really what you want or are you trying

1666
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 7: to get some money?

1667
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 1: Right?

1668
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 7: Because being because being consistent is the only way. Honestly,

1669
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 7: it's cliche as it sounds, it's literally the only way

1670
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 7: you're going to get to the level you're trying to

1671
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 7: get to. You have to stay consistent. But I feel

1672
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 7: like it makes it easier when you enjoy what you're doing.

1673
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 4: That part because even with no results right right, because

1674
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 4: we have to keep one.

1675
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: It is a lot of the time. Yeah, And I

1676
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: think for me, like you said it, you're self, you

1677
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 1: already know what to do, be consistent. And I think

1678
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: for me, so I had said, I guess I said

1679
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: something in the last episode that somebody had quoted me

1680
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 1: and they were like, I just want to leave my

1681
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: impact on people. And that's why I like when people

1682
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: say it could be one person and they'd be like, man,

1683
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 1: like I was having the worst day, you made me

1684
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 1: laugh so hard. That's what I do it for. Like

1685
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: it's a plus that I get to, you know, pay

1686
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 1: my bills, but making people feel good, it's like a

1687
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 1: high for me, Like making people feel like, you know

1688
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 1: what I'm having a bad day, I want to watch

1689
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 1: Poor Minds because I just need to relax. That is

1690
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,679
Speaker 1: literally what I do it for. Like sometimes i'd be like, fuck,

1691
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't feel like recording today. Then I get here

1692
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 1: and I start recording. I'm like, man, I'm vibing, like

1693
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: we done had a good time.

1694
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 2: It's easy to stay consistently, That's what I'm saying.

1695
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: It's easy for me to be consistent. It's like then,

1696
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 1: it's like everybody who works around it is like, this

1697
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 1: is fun. Yeah, so I think, like you already know

1698
01:20:57,760 --> 01:20:59,560
