00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you can still make that happen. Just go

223
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: you know, of course, let let them know very into it.

224
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 5: So what happened is I started out in slam poetry, right,

225
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 5: and I realized that in slam poetry that the audience

226
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 5: would judge me before they before I ever said a word.

227
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 5: So I knew that I would have to look a

228
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: certain way so that y'all could see me first before

229
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 5: you heard me. And so my team, my slam My

230
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 5: slam team would just swam New Orleans at the time,

231
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 5: Team Snow, we always just dressed kind of, you know,

232
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 5: we want to be a little stylish, and you know,

233
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 5: being Southern, you already got an auction block little mindset,

234
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 5: so you're always trying to look a little extra damper.

235
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 5: But and then when I got in this group, it

236
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 5: just became, it just became the norm. And and now

237
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 5: these days I just send wardrobe.

238
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: I just say dressing colors.

239
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 5: And uh, and they hate when I say that sometimes

240
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 5: because uh, the colors in my head, I'm like purples, greens,

241
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 5: orange as yellows, and somebody come up in here and

242
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 5: you know, some brown and red. I'd be looking at

243
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 5: them a little crazy, and they would say, tank, you

244
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 5: said dressing colors. I say, not those colors.

245
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 3: That it's like joy bringing colors. You understand what I'm saying.

358
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 5: hated that. I hated those unproductive ass moments, and I

359
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 5: would write about it.

360
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,040

368
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,480

00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 7: on that record and seeing him perform, like I was

482

00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: And when I watched him do his very first show.

484
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,960

544
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 3: But she was probably the rebel, was your mom? Like

545
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: the rebel she was?

546
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 5: Like, she wasn't rebellious, but she definitely got pregnant at

547
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 5: eighteen okay, and was less than the which is like

548
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 5: a big deal in the up in the up in

549
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 5: the world, you know, especially if you're not married. But

550
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 5: she is a great woman. She had obviously five of them.

551
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: We listened to what we want to. She won't tripping

552
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: too much.

553
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: I liked that my mama.

554
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 5: Trust was she raised. She wasn't all on my back

555
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 5: like that, which let me be free. And I did

556
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 5: nothing but hung around poetry nerds.

557
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: It was a good life.

558
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: Nice Okay.

559
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 7: So what about your other siblings, Like, are they currently

560
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 7: pursuing musical endeavors or my little brother?

561
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 5: All these big is pretty special, but you know, sometimes

562
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 5: when you have them babies, they slow you down just

563
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 5: a little bit. And my sister, she was the real

564
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 5: singer in the family, but she got pregnant young and

565
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 5: then she kind of slowed down too.

566
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 7: Uh.

567
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 5: My older sister was into big choirs, she got a husband,

568
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 5: you know, they got their own business.

569
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 3: They just right now. Everybody just pretty much support me.

570
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 3: That's dope. You learn from watching them too, though. You

571
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 3: was like, you know what you gonna do that because

572
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 3: I do want it exactly.

573
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: I was able to see all my lessons through my sisters.

574
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 5: There was amazing women, and they taught me so much.

575
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 5: But my whole life, I literally was working on learning

576
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 5: from them and being like them and being nothing like

577
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 5: them all at the same same time.

578
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: That's brilliant smart, you know what I'm saying, because people

579
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: don't part.

580
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was curious to know with you were talking

581
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 8: about how they your mom wasn't it's strict on you

582
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 8: in terms of secular music, you know, being coming from

583
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 8: church and everything. I wonder how much New Orleans plays

584
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 8: in that because it just doesn't seem like like there's

585
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 8: certain customs like you know, Marti Grod or Lundi Grad

586
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 8: or like Zulu ball whatever, Right, those are just things

587
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 8: that are just so they seem to cross all boundaries,

588
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 8: so it doesn't seem like yeah, even yeah, it's just culture.

589
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 8: Like it doesn't seem like even if you're in the church,

590
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 8: like whatever you believe or whatever, Yeah, you're still there.

591
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 8: So how much is the culture of New Orleans.

592
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 5: I couldn't go on Bourbon Street, you know, growing up,

593
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 5: Oh Bourbon Street, ooh, law, don't go on Bourbon on

594
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 5: Marti Gras showing their tennis. You know, you didn't know

595
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 5: what was going on, but you knew that you can't

596
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 5: be there if you're too young for Mardigras. I also

597
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 5: know that I couldn't enjoy your super Sunday in New Orleans,

598
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 5: which which kind of made me feel like I lost

599
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 5: out culturally on what was going on in my very

600
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 5: own city. I felt like I was able to like

601
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 5: date my city once Hurricane Katrina half and I left

602
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 5: the city. Then I was able to come back as

603
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 5: more of an adult. I was able to do, you know,

604
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 5: date the city, caught the city, go all to different places,

605
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 5: and you know, and and that's when I truly fell

606
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 5: in love with New Orleans.

607
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 4: You know, where did you to for Katrina?

608
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,239
Speaker 6: Where'd you Where'd you end up going?

609
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 5: The whole family went to Haddiesburg, Mississippi, where we stayed

610
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 5: with my uncle for about two weeks. One of my

611
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 5: older sister left and she went to Virginia. And when

612
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 5: she left, that's when the whole family just kind of

613
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 5: broke down. It was almost like a black Tyler Perry film.

614
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 5: Everybody started crying and.

615
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 3: Just you know, like that's when we realized, nigga, this

616
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 3: is our life has changed.

617
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 5: Wait wait, wait, wait, we're not going back home. We're

618
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 5: not going back home. That's when the reality set in

619
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 5: that life is different. And then we went all the

620
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 5: way to Indianapolis.

621
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 4: Oh wow, that was different.

622
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. How long was Indianapolis? At least at least

623
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 3: two years?

624
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 6: Oh wow, that is not New Orleans.

625
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: But as it was, how many how much way time

626
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: did you have to leave?

627
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 7: Did you think like, okay, we'll just go to another state,

628
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 7: lettering out and then come on back and get our things,

629
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 7: or did you know, did.

630
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: You have an idea that this is the mother of.

631
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 7: All you know, weather hell about to happen, and let

632
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 7: me take everything sentimental with me to where I'm going.

633
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: Oh no, we just had no idea that it was

634
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: about to be this crazy.

635
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 5: Just never you know, they always wanted us about storms

636
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 5: and even another reason One of the reasons at least

637
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 5: that a lot of people stayed in New Orleans is

638
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 5: because y'all always wanting us, don't nothing happened, but it's

639
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 5: right now. They're wanting y'all right now, right like there's

640
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 5: a season. Yeah, I mean, we've been having a lot

641
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 5: of little scares, and but you know, you don't really

642
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 5: leave too much.

643
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 3: It's just weird.

644
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 5: I don't know, we just don't leave sometimes we just don't.

645
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 5: And it don't even always be finances. You're just too

646
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 5: comfortable here and you and it loved you so much,

647
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 5: you just kind of feel like it won't hurt you,

648
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 5: like it's gonna protect you because it's home. But the

649
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 5: way that the city is built, it's not always their week,

650
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 5: it's it's it's an interesting ground to live on, very

651
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 5: very scary.

652
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 7: Okay, should a similar warning happened, I mean, how shell

653
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 7: shocked is at least your inner circle into like, okay,

654
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 7: I know exactly what grabby bags, let's.

655
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: Go, Like how quick are you to to relocate and move?

656
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 7: Or is everyone the impression like okay, happens once once

657
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 7: in a lifetime and that's it.

658
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 3: You think about it two ways. You think it could

659
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 3: happen one in a lifetime.

660
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 5: And you also think every since the storm, the little

661
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 5: bit of it of rain, this city flooding.

662
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: So that's scary, right, the number two and number three,

663
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 3: you would, I mean.

664
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 5: Honestly, if something happened here, y'all, I just bought my

665
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 5: first house, I'm going to rebuild again. No you should,

666
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 5: but because I always been worried too about New Orleans

667
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 5: being there for the folks to be able to come back,

668
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 5: because I know they always it was always rumors that,

669
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 5: you know, big business came to New Orleans and some

670
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 5: of these houses were not they couldn't get back in them.

671
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 3: And now they're more than they.

672
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: Used to be.

673
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean the gentrification is real because I

674
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 5: just moved from the hood, So I mean, god, damn

675
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 5: is real.

676
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 6: It's where you were you where are you at in

677
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 6: the city?

678
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I want all is East, which is

679
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 5: where I used to live before the storm, which is

680
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 5: which is a nice little black suburban you know type

681
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 5: area used to be very very nice, very just very black,

682
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 5: middle class and full of new looking houses.

683
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 3: That was nice.

684
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 5: And now it's very slow to recover, and people are

685
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 5: still trying to to make it where it used to be,

686
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 5: and they are buying houses here because they're selling them

687
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 5: for way less than it is in the city before.

688
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 5: I was on Frenchman Street, you know, the real the

689
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 5: real street, did you you know, the hill side of french.

690
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 4: You know?

691
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, not what a.

692
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 3: Yeah? Now what the party is like? Drive a little down.

693
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 5: But you know, hey, but I'm not walking distance of

694
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 5: the party. That's walking distance.

695
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 3: But I love telling people, Yeah, I live on Frenchmen.

696
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 7: You mentioned that, well, you know, you mentioned in the

697
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 7: French quarters in Bourbon Street or whatnot about avoiding that

698
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 7: when you were younger. But like, I've always been under

699
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 7: the impression that the New Orleans that I know of

700
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 7: is kind of like someone going to midtown Manhattan, like

701
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 7: forty second Street and going to bubble gumps.

702
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: Like where do real normans people pay?

703
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 6: They not the touristies.

704
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 5: And guess what I'm gonna tell y'all because I don't

705
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 5: tell nobody else. Like people like me and other people

706
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 5: from New Orleans that traveled, we told people about where

707
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 5: the party was. And that's how Frenchmen became so gentrified

708
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 5: and gross. That's how I found out that, right exactly.

709
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 5: So now I tell I tell us, I tell people

710
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 5: like you myself. Okay, so now we create she got

711
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 5: a pin. Now we create our own little hubs.

712
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 3: We create out we go.

713
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 5: We go to each other's houses and stuff's ship. Yeah,

714
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 5: have like black house or uh what they call that thing?

715
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 5: Blaze blaze and worship on Sundays.

716
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 3: You know about what? Yeah, tell me about. Yeah. They

717
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 3: don't get it. They pray, they praise God, they smoke,

718
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 3: they weed right because He's worthy.

719
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 5: That's kind of church.

720
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, blazes and worship.

721
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: Blaze and worship. They's singing everything, even.

722
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: Steve, what do I need my neck? Yeah, I'm yelling.

723
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my type of church.

724
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 5: I mean, at the end of the day, ain't that

725
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 5: when you feel your most spiritual and kind yourself.

726
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 3: I don't even smoke often at all, because I personally.

727
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 5: Don't like the way we make me feel. But at

728
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 5: the end of my wee journey when I do smoke,

729
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 5: it's a spiritual one of clarity. But I don't like

730
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 5: the role that I get to to get there.

731
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 3: Me and Steven just listening to that interet Oh, I

732
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 3: hate that journey. I'm too high. I don't like that journey.

733
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 3: I gotta call my family and stuff. But black.

734
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, but but we created our own hubs. They's even

735
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 5: this dude in New Orleans named DC Paul. He's always

736
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 5: creating something in New Orleans so that we could keep

737
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 5: the culture alive because we don't really frequent Frenchmen as

738
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 5: much as we used to. So they create their own

739
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 5: They create their own stuff, and it's really a who's who,

740
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 5: like you have to know what's going on to know

741
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 5: what's going on. I love that because I've seen Essence

742
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 5: recreates that during their weekend sometimes in New Orleans and

743
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 5: they do their own little speak easy and then people's

744
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 5: houses in the area and stuff. So now I get

745
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 5: it so good as a New Orleans person.

746
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 3: You love Essence. I just want to oh, layla. We

747
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 3: love Essence. Okay, we love Essence.

748
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 4: We love it.

749
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 5: We love the super lounges more than anything. We love

750
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 5: to see the celebrities just walking around. We love to

751
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 5: get a picture in.

752
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: We love it all. We really do.

753
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 4: You know what? I think?

754
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: It's it's visited it.

755
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 3: I was sorry, wait, no, it's God.

756
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 5: I'm just crying because ain't know it's the first year,

757
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 5: ain't have it because of codepened next year.

758
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 4: You know something, it's it's weird because.

759
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 7: You know it's it's I don't think it's a coincidence

760
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 7: that every twenties, eighteen twenty, nineteen twenty, it always starts

761
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 7: with a plague, and there's always a culture of like something. Well,

762
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 7: you know, nineteen twenties, it was prohibition. The twenties, yeah, right,

763
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 7: the Raring twenties, and they had like underground So I

764
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 7: would imagine that, especially in the city known for its partying,

765
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 7: that there's probably going to be more underground speakeasys, which

766
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 7: you know, this is less about the alcohol and the

767
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 7: weed and more about survival.

768
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: So it's almost like what do you do? Do you

769
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: just say fuck it and do social roulette or.

770
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 5: At least take the temperature at the door. They doing

771
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 5: that in Mexico. That's all I'm saying that that at

772
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 5: least be Mexico. Right, We've been in Mexico in some

773
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 5: places they just didn't. But I'll tell you right now,

774
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 5: though none of that stuff is going on right now.

775
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 5: Everybody in you all is just doing all love of stuff.

776
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 5: The most progressive thing that we've done to try to

777
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 5: get everybody together, we had the first drive of concert

778
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 5: months ago.

779
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 6: How well that was.

780
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 3: Guess what it was. It was the hottest thing I've

781
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: ever done in my life.

782
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 5: I thought I was going to pass out because I

783
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 5: hadn't performed in a while, so it kind of actually

784
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 5: got to me that heat. And it was a very

785
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 5: long set and you know, the people was out in

786
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 5: their calls and you already know where you're perform and

787
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 5: it's a transference of energy. I need you'all energy so

788
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 5: I could give you something.

789
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 3: There was fall it was. It was weird.

790
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,279

Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry to get off the schedule. Yeah.

829
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 5: I realized I had the gift when I was at

830
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 5: my grandparents' fiftieth wedding anniversary and I was supposed to

831
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 5: be doing a poem for them by Adrian Hardest. And

832
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 5: I practiced the poem so much I knew I was

833
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 5: gonna kill it. But I got up there and I

834
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 5: fucked it up. I sucked it up real bad. I

835
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 5: just kept looking at the paper. I kept looking at it.

836
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 3: I thought, I remember when I had the door. I

837
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 3: guess I did.

838
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 5: My nerves get the best of me sometimes. But my

839
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 5: grandma she saw something in me. She brought me to

840
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 5: every church. Before my grandfather would speak, I would do

841
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 5: this poem. I got stronger and stronger in his poem.

842
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 5: Children used to be laughing at me and stuff, but

843
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 5: I was doing it well.

844
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 3: I just knew I had some going for me. And

845
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 3: I didn't think that I was the best singer, because

846
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 3: my sister saying I wrote better than that saying. So

847
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: I just wrote a lot.

848
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 5: And then I got up in there poetry group. And

849
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 5: then that's when, since I could sing better than all

850
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 5: of them, I mean they poets, I just gave me just.

851
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 3: That much more confidence. Wow, what was the first voice?

852
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm sorry because she got a lot of voices.

853
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 3: What was I do was? I am a serious child.

854
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 3: I am a serious child with serious goals, and if

855
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: it takes hard work to reach my goals, I will

856
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 3: do it. Man. That's how that poem went.

857
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 6: Like that's voice over dudes, like.

858
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,399

859
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 7: multiple voices that you use on stage.

860
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:56,440

00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 3: And guess what it's true?

949
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 5: The smokers riding one bus, the non smokers riding another one.

950
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 5: And guess what that that's different And it's really different.

951
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 5: People like the smokers are very different in the car

952
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 5: from the non smoking. The non smoking ban's kind of

953
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 5: like the nerd Vand when I think about it, I'm

954
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 5: in the non smoking ban.

955
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 3: It's a nerdy vand always on time.

956
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Okay, so more more, more advice from

957
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: a mirror.

958
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 7: I say, yes, I say that the key to our

959
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 7: success is separatory of us is However, I'm learning now, Okay,

960
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 7: I'm learning a term I never used before, and that's

961
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 7: called making sure that you're clear, which I guess if

962
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 7: you're in a marriage, that's the equivalent of making sure

963
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 7: that you don't go to bread bed angry.

964
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 3: Wow.

965
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 7: And it might seem kind of weird to clear with

966
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 7: people who is not your like romantic life partner.

967
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 4: You know.

968
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 7: Yes, it's easy for me to go to Grace City, like, hey,

969
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 7: I'm not clear on something you said something earlier that

970
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 7: I felt some sort of way about Dad, where it's it's.

971
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: Kind of weird, like, oh god, am I really admitting this?

972
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 3: No, no, please, it's helping.

973
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 7: Really having our first real, like an evolved adult conversations now,

974
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 7: like because you know, I thought he was going to

975
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 7: laugh at me, Like yeah, you know, I'm doing counseling

976
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 7: lately and you know, figure out my life and da

977
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 7: da da da. You know, before you be like, man,

978
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 7: I don't want niggas know that's laughing. I think I'm

979
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 7: being whipped in the house. But my girlfriend, you know,

980
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 7: and to find out like he was doing it two

981
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 7: years before, I was, Wow, I was late. But what

982
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 7: I'm saying is that what's what's important that I would

983
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 7: do again is sometimes you do as the leader. I'm

984
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 7: a highly reluctant leader and every all of my entities

985
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 7: and so sometimes as the leader, you're gonna have to

986
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 7: just make you know, half meetings, make sure that everyone's

987
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 7: okay for by the safe space for them to riff

988
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 7: about stuff or whatever. I need a break, you know,

989
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 7: the par deem or the dunna you criticize, you criticize

990
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 7: the cord I played the other night on stage, blah

991
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 7: blah blah. It's important to be clear to make sure

992
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 7: that you guys are on ground zero and that you know,

993
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 7: because what you don't want is like just to do

994
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 7: a show and then you go to your separate corners

995
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 7: and then not talk about it, and then there's eighteen

996
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 7: years of animosity and building.

997
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, that shit festers.

998
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

999
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's because the thing is the chemistry that you

1000
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 7: guys have together on stage, the nucleus of the group

1001
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 7: and even your side.

1002
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: I mean, technically is it is it five of you

1003
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: or eight of you?

1004
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 5: All to the whole Bangoville is freaking one, two, three, four, five,

1005
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 5: six seven eight.

1006
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 3: That's that's about eight, eight or nine. And but the

1007
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 3: actual tank in the Bengers is is four.

1008
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, make sure that that's with the nucleus four that you.

1009
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 4: Have real, real, real I really appreciate that.

1010
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 3: It's the metaphor for that. I'm sorry for the outliers.

1011
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 3: The metaphor for that's kind of like what Quest and

1012
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 3: Blacktart are to the greatest, right, right. So your four,

1013
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 3: that four that you spoke of, its kind of like

1014
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 3: y'all of the creative hub of everything and the decision makers.

1015
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 5: There's like four owners, which is myself, Joshua Johnson, Norman Spence,

1016
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 5: and my best friend and manager Tavia Asby, and then

1017
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 5: the members and the tank and the Bengals is myself, Joshua, Norman,

1018
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 5: and Albert allenback and the whole Bangaville that's like myself,

1019
00:51:54,560 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 5: Alber Norman, josh Jonathan Uh, Danny Abel Uh you can,

1020
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 5: Jonathan Johnson and Jelica, Jelly, Joseph T and Henderson. It's

1021
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 5: all these people that basically make the stage show come alive.

1022
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Can I go back to my original question?

1023
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1024
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 6: How did no? No, no, this is good?

1025
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 3: But how did you figure out that this is what

1026
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 3: you wanted to do and you could do it and

1027
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 3: what it was to be a band leader? Because I

1028
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 3: don't I never knew what I was, I never knew

1029
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 3: what I was doing. I still don't know what I'm doing.

1030
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 5: I know that I was at Slam Poetry, which only

1031
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 5: gave me three minutes and ten seconds to do my poem,

1032
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 5: and I realized I needed way more time than that

1033
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 5: to express myself. I started going to a different open

1034
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 5: mic that didn't just focus on poetry for music, poetry, expression,

1035
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 5: all of that stuff. This place called Liberation Lounge, and

1036
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 5: that's where I met this band, the house band there

1037
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 5: called the Black Star Beggers. That was that was a

1038
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 5: guitarist and a bass player, and we decided, man, we

1039
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 5: won't be like uh, you know, we won't be like Philly.

1040
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 5: We won't go on a roll with everybody from New Orleans.

1041
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 5: That's good and make something happen. So everybody we told

1042
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 5: that too. Only a certain amount of people agreed to come,

1043
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 5: and we called ourselves the Liberative Soul Collective. And then

1044
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 5: we all traveled around, you know, rented our first little

1045
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 5: r V with the tips from the Liberation Lounge, and

1046
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 5: we we traveled, you know what we could. After a while,

1047
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 5: I was practically the last man Standley. Somebody else went

1048
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 5: to Germany, somebody else went to New York, and it

1049
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 5: was just Triana, tank Ball and the Black Star Bangers.

1050
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 5: And I thought, damn, that's such a long name. I'm

1051
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,399
Speaker 5: just showing it the tank in the Bangers. I never

1052
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 5: liked the name. I just started liking it about a

1053
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 5: year ago. And uh, I wanted to be called Purple Freak.

1054
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying.

1055
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 6: What was what was the reason?

1056
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 3: What was the name?

1057
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 6: The reason behind Purple Free?

1058
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 3: The bass player of the original Black Star Bankers gave

1059
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 3: it that name. He said, I love that name. Freak

1060
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 3: f R E a q THO, you know, like frequency.

1061
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 3: And I was like, damn, that's fire, and I stuck

1062
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 3: with kept them back.

1063
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 6: I worked out pretty damn good.

1064
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 3: I think it did his same.

1065
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 5: You know, it makes people a little curious about what's

1066
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 5: going on here. But a Tank is a family nickname

1067
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 5: given to me by my my dad who had passed away.

1068
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 3: He called me Tank.

1069
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 5: I don't even really know why, but it kind of

1070
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 5: all worked out. The bang, the tank, the army, all

1071
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 5: that stuff. It just kind of worked out the big

1072
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 5: sound and make it just kind of interesting that way.

1073
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,240
Speaker 5: But I never I never knew too much about music.

1074
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 5: I just knew how to make a little melody and songs.

1075
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 5: On my first show, I wanted to be just me

1076
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 5: and the guitarist doing some poems and songs. And then

1077
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 5: the guitarist said, nah, man, you gotta get my man

1078
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 5: on bass. I ain't know nothing by no bass, I said,

1079
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 5: I care about no damn bass.

1080
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 3: I just one nice look at town. Don't even know.

1081
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, Tank, it's gonna ground the show. The

1082
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 3: bass ground the show.

1083
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: Damn.

1084
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that the bass really does ground

1085
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 3: the show. So I found that out later on.

1086
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 5: And then just pretty soon it just became musicians and

1087
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 5: the out you know what I'm saying. The two original

1088
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 5: black Stuff bangers they left.

1089
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 3: And now it's it's just us, you know, and it's

1090
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 3: some people come in and come out when the season

1091
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 3: is up. It's up. There's no bad blood. But it

1092
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 3: just it just be that way, you know.

1093
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 5: But I just feel like, no matter what, I just

1094
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 5: always have to keep moving forward, no matter what, you know.

1095
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 5: I want them to be with me on the last days.

1096
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 5: Want to be the type of band that gets a

1097
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 5: travel when you're eighty some years old, but don't have

1098
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 5: to do it all your life because you've made enough

1099
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 5: money to But it sounded like what the root, So

1100
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 5: y'all really just y'all did look at this model? When

1101
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 5: it comes to like, because you mentioned y'all looked at Philly,

1102
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 5: I'm like, so interesting. I didn't know the story, I

1103
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 5: didn't know and stuff like that. I just knew that

1104
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 5: Philly had amazing tackling. I mean, they just always have.

1105
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 5: I mean I feel like I think of Philly and

1106
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 5: I think of New Orleans and New York and Chicago.

1107
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 5: Basically there's type of ugly places that make beautiful concrete roses.

1108
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 3: Because of all the ugly and the ghetto around.

1109
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 5: You, you will ain't got no choice but to make

1110
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 5: something good with all of this around you but it's

1111
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 5: not a place to sometimes live because it just it

1112
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 5: just gets so crazy. But even when I was slamming,

1113
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 5: uh for Brave New Voices, I mean, oh my god, Phil,

1114
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 5: it just had some of the best poets like Joshua

1115
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 5: had been in and Black Ice and everybody. I mean,

1116
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 5: it's just so freaking amazing. So I've always I always

1117
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 5: was a fan. I mean, everybody great come from there.

1118
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: It's just it's just what it is, you know, it's

1119
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: weird what so.

1120
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 7: And Yeah, in literally in two thousand and five, uh,

1121
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 7: the top of the year, we decided, like each each

1122
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 7: record that we recorded, we decided, like, Okay, what's the

1123
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 7: big project we're going to do now. Down before with

1124
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 7: the Tipping Point, we built a quasi strip club.

1125
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: Really, you know it it seemed that way. Weren't you

1126
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: there for that period?

1127
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's why I'm like, it was just strip club.

1128
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 3: I say that it was like stripping as it like

1129
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 3: taking off the clothes, the titties is exposed, and we

1130
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 3: talk about a strip club. They had a pole, and.

1131
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 7: It was we built a pole, like my I think

1132
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 7: our logic was we wanted just based on what our

1133
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,919
Speaker 7: audience was to that point, in two thousand and three,

1134
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 7: we just wanted more blackfaces. So we figured the best

1135
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 7: test of it all was to build to turn rehab

1136
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 7: Our studio into.

1137
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: A strip club, and we would invite them to like

1138
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: our jam.

1139
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 7: Sessions, and if they responded favorably to a particular song,

1140
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 7: then it was like, okay, that can go on the record.

1141
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 7: Which is why the tipping point is, you know, usually

1142
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 7: the album that our our core fan base is sort

1143
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 7: of like where whereas like are the black fan base

1144
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 7: was sort of like, that's the one up, like, you know,

1145
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 7: So that's what we catered it to. But for the

1146
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 7: next record, we were trying to figure out it was

1147
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 7: between New Orleans and Cuba, and well.

1148
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: Just at the time, New Orleans was literally besides DC.

1149
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 7: New Orleans was like the last in our eyes, the

1150
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 7: last like musical hotbed for musicians that had over three

1151
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 7: genres because you know, you have bounce music, you had

1152
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 7: you know, traditional New Orleans, zydga whatever, you alsoid like frontline,

1153
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 7: different cultures, yeh, jazz and whatnot.

1154
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: So we had taken our advance money.

1155
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 7: And we were going to lease uh two houses down

1156
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 7: there in two thousand and five, So come June we

1157
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 7: were like, well, let's let's get some money real quick,

1158
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 7: go to Europe and then maybe around August of two

1159
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 7: thousand and five, will start recording the record, and literally

1160
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 7: at the airport in Portugal, like the day before we

1161
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 7: go to New Orleans.

1162
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: That's when Sandy happened.

1163
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 7: So we were like moving from Philadelphia to New Orleans

1164
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 7: to record.

1165
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: What would have been our Game Theory album.

1166
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 3: But this is insane. We would have we would have

1167
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 3: been friends. This isn't Sun, this isn't that's like some

1168
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,439
Speaker 3: full circle. I learned that. I was today years old

1169
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 3: when I learned this.

1170
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:34,439
Speaker 6: A lot of shit.

1171
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

1172
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, people ask like how did to beget in the band?

1173
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:42,919
Speaker 7: Because the thing was there was a New Orleans brass

1174
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 7: band down there. The two Beat come on TVC, right,

1175
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 7: we saw to be continued when there was like kids

1176
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 7: like back in two thousand ninety nine, two thousand wow,

1177
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 7: and seeing them on.

1178
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: The street corners, it was like they stand on the street.

1179
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 7: Well they adults now, but like back then, it was like,

1180
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 7: oh man, like they just like us. So coming to

1181
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 7: New Orleans every time we see TVC there, it was like,

1182
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 7: oh man, we liked those cats and we were that's

1183
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 7: why we got two cribs. We were going to like

1184
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 7: put them in one, put us in the other, and

1185
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 7: see if we could collaborate and make this magical record together.

1186
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 3: And but y'all still implemented a lot of that into

1187
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 3: the show though, Right.

1188
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 7: That's how Tuba like eventually like then we started raising

1189
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 7: money for them. So that's you know, getting Jeff Bratshall

1190
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 7: and other Brass.

1191
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 3: Members and nobody don't talk about this.

1192
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's how like Tuba sort of got in

1193
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 7: the group and we just kept him. But yeah, New

1194
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 7: Orleans was very much on our minds, which I want

1195
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 7: to know, like posts, uh posts, I'm about to say,

1196
01:00:55,880 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 7: Sandy post Katrina, how heighten it is the community.

1197
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 5: Before COVID, they was really cultivating something really special. They

1198
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 5: was getting They had almost every other night. It was

1199
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 5: starting to be like it was pre Katrina when you

1200
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 5: could find something to do, a place to go. You know,

1201
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 5: there was there was cultivating there. But if you on

1202
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 5: a certain type of level, it's just like I told you.

1203
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 3: If you don't know about it, you don't know about.

1204
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,439
Speaker 5: It, You're just gonna be like, oh just Frenchman, wag

1208
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 5: then you don't know that.

1209
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 3: The youth and the different generation is making little things happen.

1210
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 3: Of course, they got to keep our mind open as elders,

1211
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 3: we got to make sure that we always gott to

1212
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 3: live because you just don't know. You just don't know

1213
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 3: what's going on.

1214

01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Boys might be seen as Ellis Marsalis.

01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 3: Like you.

1563
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 6: I mean, if you got a label if the label's

1564
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 6: look good.

1565
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 8: But I've been in I've been on just about any

1566
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 8: kind of label you can think, in the major everything

1567
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 8: in between.

1568
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 3: Still, you gotta do it all yourself.

1569
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 6: Old label is gonna work harder for you than you

1570
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 6: work for yourself, period.

1571
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:48,679
Speaker 3: Damn.

1572
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 5: Then I gotta turn it up. I thought they I

1573
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 5: thought I thought it was going to be that way.

1574
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 5: But from my personal experience with a label, I found

1575
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 5: that they basically introduced me to people that I probably

1576
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:01,679
Speaker 5: wouldn't have met on my own.

1577
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 3: They funked the money for some of it, and they

1578
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 3: placed their opinion in your music. That's what I have found.

1579
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 1: How excited? Speaking of which, how excited were you the morning?

1580
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,679
Speaker 1: And yes, I voted for you. You get the grammar.

1581
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 3: I heard it. They told me. My friend came in

1582
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 3: the room because we lived together at the time. She said, Tank,

1583
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 3: you grabbed me donated. I said what? And my first

1584
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 3: thought was I want to do? Was the Cderguary, And

1585
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 3: then I went, that's what that?

1586
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 5: And I went back to sleep, and then it wasn't

1587
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 5: And then like you start getting all these little news

1588
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:38,680
Speaker 5: outlets coming to you, you know, the rest in the

1589
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 5: middle of your day, and then I member, I was

1590
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 5: riding like a little mopad through the city and then

1591
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 5: like the tears just started coming down.

1592
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 3: My eyes, you know.

1593
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 4: I went.

1594
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 3: And then that's when, you know, that's when it hit me.

1595
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 5: It hit me a little later on in the day,

1596
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,680
Speaker 5: but I'm happy that it hit me period, and a

1597
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 5: lot of people wouldn't notice. But I was more happy

1598
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 5: not to win when they called, when they didn't call

1599
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 5: our name, because I never, I never, I never was

1600
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 5: so scared in my life.

1601
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 3: I just don't know.

1602
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 5: I had all this anxiety over me, something that I

1603
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 5: don't even like really deal with, anxiety all over me.

1604
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,600
Speaker 5: I was sweating, I was hot, I could breath. My

1605
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 5: head started pounding like this, and I was like, please

1606
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 5: don't call my name, Please don't call my name, please

1607
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 5: they come.

1608
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:21,799
Speaker 3: And so when they called Billy name, I went.

1609
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 5: And they had I remember had an article saying tanking

1610
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 5: the bank of clap enthusiastically as Billy what. I'm like,

1611
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 5: I'm clapping because I didn't walk to at the time,

1612
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 5: because I just knew that if I stood up, I

1613
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 5: was gonna fall out.

1614
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 6: I understand.

1615
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 8: Because now it is because once you win, it's like

1616
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 8: now that's a million strangers in my life. You know,

Speaker 8: people that you know what I'm saying, Like people they

1618
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 8: probably didn't give a funk about me yesterday or hell,

1619
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 8: five minutes ago until I won.

1620
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 6: Now that's just a whole new thing.

1621
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,280

1622
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 8: in Kansas knowing who I am.

1623
01:21:58,600 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: Like, that's just.

1624
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 5: I don't even know why I didn't want to know.

1625
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 5: I even know why I didn't want to. It was

1626
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 5: only that moment that I didn't want to. It wasn't

1627

1630
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,600

01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was always gonna Doos was like an opening act.

1723
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:31,519
Speaker 1: Migos was an opening act on like they.

1724
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 4: Were like the bottom tier.

1725
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 5: We were freaking traveling around with the Migos in Europe,

1726
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 5: like every freaking festival we did, we did they had

1727
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 5: massive crowds and they would just be walking around saying stuff.

1728
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 3: Like chicken Wang, Thanksgiving, galic ring.

1729
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:48,920
Speaker 5: It was just so simple and I couldn't believe the

1730
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:50,679
Speaker 5: way that they was controlling the crowd.

1731
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:53,600
Speaker 3: And here I am sweating and ship all my edges go.

1732
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 5: But and I'm like, using five thousand voices, I got

1733
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,080
Speaker 5: my band women, you just gotta beat it.

1734
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,680
Speaker 3: And then y'all getting the marsh to.

1735
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 6: This is unfair.

1736
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:17,719
Speaker 1: You're you're you're you're well on your way, you're down there.

1737
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 6: And there, and you know that doesn't feel that way.

1738
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 3: It's crazy he would even say that.

1739
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 5: You know, these days it feels like everything has been

1740
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 5: sucked into this black hole that you put out because

1741
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 5: you work all this hall putting so much.

1742
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 3: Then like the next day it's old. You know, it's

1743
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:32,679
Speaker 3: over the moment.

1744
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 5: Somebody can literally flick their little thumb and it's and

1745
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 5: they're onto the next thing to entice them or you know,

1746
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 5: stimulate them.

1747
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:40,759
Speaker 3: It's just over so quickly.

1748
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 5: I almost feel a little sorry for the artists in

1749
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 5: this time because you're just just doing so much trying

1750
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 5: to it's defining. You got to prove yourself as a

1751
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 5: dresser out there. Y'all have a catalog that people will

1752
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:55,600

01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 6: You gotta pay exactly.

1754
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 3: That's what it's about when they come back, you know.

01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 7: And that's that's what I appreciate about you guys, is

Speaker 7: that you know it's it's not it wasn't overnight and

1757
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 7: sex whatever. It's like a very slow, uh but steady
