• 0:56
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest rock groups of all time, one
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of the most influential I'm talking about like when we
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: think about this culture, man, they lost souls here. Welcome,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you for having yes, sir man, it's good to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: see you guys. I was just giving you guys flowers
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: because I got to hear the album and I listened
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to its two times back to back, and you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we're in late November. You guys are snucking album of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the Year contender.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Man, it is.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It is a beautiful body of work for really, thank
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you so much.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm curious, like because this album was so
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: intentional and the secretcing and you know, the skits and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the way you guys are able to kind of just
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: get in and out of this project and each song
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: kind of introduces the next. What was the timeline on
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: how long you guys were putting this together?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Well, and initially started to be the Pete and Preme
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Pete Rocking premiere record that we were supposed to do
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: well before the pandemic. So you got a little because
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: you hear that you have those elements now and obviously
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: with the loss of Dave, of course it morphed into
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: something a little bit more with honor and his legacy
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: and continuing ours as well, and Yeah, just that right, there.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Was the secreencing part.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And and because you guys are able to pull us
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: together to be such a cohesive masterpiece of my opinion
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is that the fun part for y'all when you guys get.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: The record's not always mattered from day one.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But but now you're able to be like, yo, all right,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we gotta let's get to these skits. Let's get to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the you know, the narration of the project, that kind
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of it's it's it's so beautifully done.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Man, No, thank you, bro. I mean it's always been
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: very important for us.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, as May said, like we had a few
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: songs from Pete, a few songs from Preem. Once we
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: realized once Master Pill asked us to be a part
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: of the Legends project, and we kind of realized at
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: some point like it had to go beyond just Pete
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: and Prem right, and you know, because Dave Voice was
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: on stuff from other producers like Super Dave West or
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Jake One. Once we added that, then that's where the
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: sequencing started. Because the Pete and Prem stuff was never
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: kind of in a thought of a sequence. It was
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: just we were just trying to turn out songs. But yeah,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: once we kind of knew that, and it was under
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: the flag of doing right by Dave and you know
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: what the tone was going to be. You know, you
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: could be like, well, this feels like something towards the end,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: it feels like something that can start it off. And
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: so it was a lot of fun doing that because
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: you're looking for the right record. You can get something
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: that this is dope and you'll be like, you know what,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: it doesn't doesn't fit though in the sequence, or it
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: doesn't even fit on the album.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: So that is always a beautiful challenge to being.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Was there a lot of those records that you guys
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: just just didn't make the cut?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was records. There was.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'm always just curious, like yeah, because I'm sure like
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: there's always there's just so much unreleased music from the Goats.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's like how much how much stuff like you guys
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: just a hard drive somewhere.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Additional amount stuff that probably will make something else. You know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: there's conceptionally how the song came together. But yeah, there's
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: a few things.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You guys.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Have.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: You know, we're kind of the the face.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Of ownership and the battle of ownership and kind of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this weird moment of the streaming industry taking over, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of crazy because by the time
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you guys, uh, you know, work out. I want to say,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: someone bought the Tommy Boy Tommy Boy. That's twenty twenty three,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and that's around the time Dave passes.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Do you kind of feel like the music being available
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: for streaming and you guys being able to tell people
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: please go stream our music? It kind of felt like,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: because I remember, it felt like kind of like a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: way to mourn the passing a day, like all this
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: music is available and how was that for you guys?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: That I had to be an interesting year man to lose,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't something we expected, you know, once
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: things got worked out, we had plans to do a lot,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: you know, and the plants got stumped because we lost
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: my brother, you know. But yeah, we we were basically
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: a litmus tests for the ownership.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Of our catalog. Here it is.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: We weren't really the only ones. I think we were
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: the only ones that come forward.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You guys are very vocal, Yeah yeah, yeah, and rightfully
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: so you know, I think like even if you look
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: at like I mean on on like a pop skill
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: like Taylor Swift with through this Ship, and it was like,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: just gonna record.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Did you guys ever think about re recording stuff?
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: We thought about it. We threw that in the air.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: I really wasn't with it. I think it evens.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I think you was the one who talked about it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: I thought it came up as an idea, but it
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: would would have changed the esthetic of what we did.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because I don't like when you hear reworked, like.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: It just it doesn't feel the same.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: You know, your your your memory bank because searching for
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: the exact way he may have said it, or the
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: exact way cool Keith Metas said his hym on ego
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Tripp and when you have these reworks, they don't feel
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: the same. So my idea at one point was like, well, yo,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: don't even try to rework it. Let's do a live version,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: like how James Brown to do a live album and
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: then you can catch on me.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: You think of that unplugged whole album.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean, thank god we didn't even have
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: to do none of that because it wasn't worked out.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: What would be the advice because you guys have obviously
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: y'all's first album is eighty nine, so You guys have
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: been through every era of this music industry, from cassettes
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: all the way to streaming. What would be the advice
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you would give like an artist on the come up
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: in terms of what to look out for in a deal,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: what not to do, what not to sign like?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: It's hard. It's hard. That's hard to say when a
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: lot has changed. You know.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: What artists have to their benefit. The bargainingship that they
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: do have is knowing you could do your own thing
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: on the internet and get some results and walk in
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: and say, yo, this is what I did on my
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: own So you can kind of dictate your deal from
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: the door pretty much, you know, which we didn't have that,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: you know, so it's hard to tell them how to
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: approach this. It's a case by case situation. It's all
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: about what's going on in your life and what you
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: have or don't have will determine what kind of deal
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: you will accept.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm say.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I always was curious one, do you guys have an
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: MF Doom store you could share in two? I think
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Rock Cocaine Flow is one of the hardest songs of
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: all time.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: That record is so fucking crazy.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I remember we had a underground hip hop showing Phoenix
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: shout out my I Squeaked Boogie and they used to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: play that shit every Friday night. On Friday Night, flay
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: this and I man that beat well first of all,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: MF Doom story And when y'all heard that beat for
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the first because that beat is so.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Unconvenient one, yeah, bro.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: White van music blew out soul and I mean, like
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: it wasn't he put it on the CD.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: I still got the CD. He put it on it
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: by mistake. He didn't realize he put it on this
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: So when I heard it, like funny enough, the My
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Life record that we used for grind date was on there,
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: and and that one My Life was dope. It was
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: a bunch of other stuff on there was dope. But
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: when I heard that and I immediately called him.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I was like, Yo, what is this?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: And I saw singing the beat to him and he
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: was pausing. He was like, Yo, pasta.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: That really wasn't even meant to be on it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: He's like you like that, I ain't even think. I
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: was like, are you fucking kidding me?
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: I was like, Yo, we want that one and forget it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: I let Dave heard it had to be so like
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: just the right to that man ride the Yeah, but
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: that's right up DayLA's alley. Like of course the bee
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: was already crazy, but just the slowing down and starting
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: or the fast. He was like, this is it, and
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: I mean we just killed it. Dave was like, yo, man,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: we should put should put Doom on this, and I
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: was like, with no question.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And when Doom heard it was the same thing.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: He came came to the studio with the little mischievous.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Face because he knew he had his runs. I was like,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: oh boy, what you got.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: No, no, I'm ready for this. Let me know what
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I got going.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: To booth And he went to boof and just blacked
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: out and kilt it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Yo.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It's crazy too because like when I think of like
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that era of y'all's career, it was very like you
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: guys kind of like came out in an era where
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the internet was cracking, so it was almost like grind
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Date was like a reintroduction to a whole new fan
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: base for you guys, because like kids who were sixteen
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: at that I think I was like fifteen sixteen at
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the time, Like you know, Ship, I was born in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: eighty seven, come out Yeah, no.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: No, I mean I was he was born in eighty ship.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know did Wow. That was amazing hip hop?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: You love question Another thing I think you know, you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: guys were very instrumental in giving Dyla some of his
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: early placements that you know were bigger.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Obviously Stakes is highs Well still only did the title track, right.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: You know what was cool about that? It was completely
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: different from anything he did for everyone else. Everything he
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: did for us was totally daylight.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I would say his version of how did you guys
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: get introduced to Dylan just through him meeting.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Dave Well, he met Tip first. Like Tip was already
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: doing whatever he was doing on the Lallapalooza tour. I believe,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: oh my god, I'm just drawing a with the amp
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: amt fiddler. So he was amp was on there with
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Funk with George Clinton and there they the one who
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: let Tip hear JD's beats like Slum Village and all that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: So I remember when.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: Not Try was on tour with us, but they would
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: come with us on the weekends, but they would go
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: back on a lot of paloozer joint They was going
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: back and forth.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: So when Tip came back out with us.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: He first let Dave hear it, and they was listening
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: to him the bus and I remember just coming on
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: and they was like, yo, you gotta hit this ship.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: And so we just got a taste of what he
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: was doing. By the time Tip really pulled him into
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: the fold, forget it. And I mean, like those beat
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: tapes that started flowing, not even beat tapes, just his group,
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: him and slum Village, and we were just like, Yo,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: these guys are really dope.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Let alone.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: When we realized, like, okay, so this guy he makes beats.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: I thought his name was like bullshittingness because he kept
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: saying that on one song. And so like yo, when
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: we heard what he was doing, it just spoke to
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: all of them us, spoke to us or a pharaolmonch
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: or so s.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, forget it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: I mean like when those those tapes start flowing, we
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: were just waiting to get one that was right for us.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it worked out like you said, Yeah, you know, hey,
• 12:15

  Speaker 5: everyone's names as groups, let's just be under one name
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: called Native Tongue I say, wow, that's dope. Why And
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: he was like, yo, because we all speak kind of
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: like the same language and that's a native to each other.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I was like, Yo, that's a dope idea. We went
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: back and.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: Told individual cruise. Everyone was with the idea and that
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: really was it. From there.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: We was there. Did you get like, how many records
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: did you guys work? Because there was suppose to be
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: like this mythological native tongues project that never.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Fabulous fleas the kids on't seen the five All that
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: was supposed to take place and just didn't happen. Man,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know everybody. I mean, we all had individual
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: deals when we came in, and I believe just behind right.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: So back then, it's a lot more harder to pull
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: all that shit together.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Right it was.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: It was becoming difficult, and different people had stuff going on.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Latifa had the TV stuff coming, Africa had a movie
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: at the time, so you know, we was kind of
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: on board for everything because it was still fresh and
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: new for us, right, So, but it was just individual,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: you know, opportunities that were taking place that people felt
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: was a little more important to do.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Do you guys ever kind of just look at the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: last like twenty years of hip hop and just kind
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: of see like there's so much day line, so much
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: of the I mean, you go all the way back
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to when he starts coming up, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like Kanye is a child in native tongue,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and you know, even like a guy like Tyler the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Creator all these years later, he just his own festivals
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: this weekend in La.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: You know, he's very much. I feel like he definitely
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: have the native tongue, DNA and him.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: But do you guys, do you guys ever you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: kind of think about y'all's influence on just on this
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: ship at all.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Like I think about it when I see it, I
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: recognize it, right, you know. When it comes to the artists,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: it's admirable. I love and appreciate it. You know, when
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: it comes to the industry, it stings a little bit,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: you know, because you can see the industry trying to
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: actually do away with with our style, you know. So yeah,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: you start to you see images, but you don't see us,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: you know, and that became not so cool.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah for me, I didn't. I didn't pay attention to it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's when people ask ask us about it. Yeah,
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: then you you pay attention. But we've always just had fun,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: man with this music. We were always students of it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: So even when young cats come along, you pay attention
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: to what they're doing and you're like, Yo, this is dope,
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: and you can you can see what could be reminiscent
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: of it, but you still look past that and see
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: their own spin on things appreciate for us.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: So that's always been dope.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: It's always been a great relationship, right, Yo.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: What was the toughest?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Because I was listening to uh, the Different World Record
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and I was just thinking I heard your verses on there,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and I was just thinking, like, how hard of a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: how hard that might have been for you to record?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Because there are some emotional, you know, lyrics on this album.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Was how were those sessions?
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Like, none of it was hard because we just kind
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: of like even when it's painful, I just just jumped
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: right into it because I'm I've always been a really
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: good writer when it comes to talking about being vulnerable,
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: something that's not easy to talk about, actually like strive
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: at that, you know, whether it was I and my be,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: whether it's on trying people, you know, talking about my mother, whatever,
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: it is me messing up in a relationship that I
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: can do that my eyes closed. So talking about someone
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: I love like Dave, it came easy.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: I poured one of those out. I couldn't even hold it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Like when Static Selected needed me on something and I
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: was like, Yo, can I talk about day on this?
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Like I So that's easy for me. It's it's not hard.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I mean writing Cabin in the Sky the title track, Yeah,
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: I was crying when I was writing it, but it
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: came out.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I never had no point needed to step away from it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I just I think like when you talk about like
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: being vulnerable as it's kind of been your strength.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: And yeah, even like the.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Record you got with Bala, or you're talking about like
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: when you die you want to have your kids around you.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that shit hit, bro.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, damn, or like what your mom might
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: think about how like shit you're doing as a man,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Like I'm like Jesus, yes, sir, Yeah, can you guys?
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: You know NAS's involvement in all these projects that have
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: been coming out. You know, some of my best music
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: of the year has been a part of the Mass
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Appeal UH series, and it's been dope. You guys were
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: at comic Con. Yeah, comic book was out shout out
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to a marble Yeah, but can you just speak how
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: how it's been just working so closely with Mass Appeal
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and obviously you know NAS's on the album Goes Crazy
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: by the way.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: But what what's that been like?
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: It's been cool. I mean, we've you know cool. Yeah.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Massive Pill been wanting to rock with us for a minute.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I mean even when we did the Anonymous Nobody album,
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: they put in.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Their bit for it to come out sixteen.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so they wanted that we wound up, you know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: rocking the Cobolt. But they've always wanted be in the
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: business of doing something with us. However it could happen.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: So finally, when the Legends thing came up, we you know,
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: as May said, we were the premium soul in the
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Rocks record originally that was already contractually signed with them,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: so we owed them an album and so, you know,
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: but they were very gracious about it. They knew everything
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: he was going through at one point with Tommy Boy
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: or when Dave was sick let alone Dave passed, So
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: when it was time for this early during the year,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: they was like, look, man, we would love your involvement
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: in this legend theory, and we was like, yo, we're
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: with it. So I mean they've always been really kind
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: to what we could do and wanted to involve us
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: in whatever it was. And I mean, getting actually a
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: little bit closer and being around Nas during this process
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: has been dope, because Yo, man, it doesn't matter for
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: me that he's younger than me. Like, it's Nas, you
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. Being around like minded people like
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: that or Ray and chilling in the studio and seeing
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: the banter between Ghosts and ray Quand is hilarious, I
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: can imagine, you know, and and inspirational. You know, these
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: guys love what we do, we love what they do.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: So it's been dope just being around each other on
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: just some hangout ship like forget this the music, but
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: hanging out even after Comic Con, just going to to
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: eat and we're just laughing brothers, a little drunk and
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: just talking wild and bugging out like it's so much
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: fun as just people to be around each other.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: And the team. The team.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of people on the administrative squad that
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: would either worked that Tommy Boy or Rush or Loud,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: you know, So it's what I call the Soul Survivors,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: people who I love that who to test the time
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: and see.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: You know, if you guys, because NAS's verse he kind
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: of fantasizes about being a part of different groups.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Like he says in his verse, which I thought was funny,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: easy top was bananas.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: If you guys weren't in de Las Soul individually, what
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: group would y'all be in?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I would be in Gangstar. I love that you and
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Guru going back and forth. I would be a Gangstar
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: without question.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I never thought about that. I don't know think about
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: it now. Two Life Crew.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Nause No.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: But you know, and this is crazy.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: The only reason I thought it was because like your style,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: I always thought it was dope in New York, because
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: you know, you know how like Miami really took to that. Yeah,
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: it really open cuts. And that's the only reason why
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: I said that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: I probably I probably went back in time and been

  Speaker 2: Were you guys doing like any shrooms back in the day?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Man, I'm sure you guys hear that though we heard
• 24:38

• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Would even get off of those things. And like, nah,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: beyond rock.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Were you guys smoking a lot back then?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I smoked? We Yeah, for a long time. I never
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: smoked ever. So what was the inspiration I think about? Like,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, you guys kind of brought color to hip hop.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like colored people. No, no, no, Jesus Jesus Christ,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: don't put that on. Don't put that.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: No.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I mean just like when I think of like you know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: three feet high and rising and and and just like
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: that's such a snapshot of music at that time, and
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: you guys brought that, I mean they turned into a dunk.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Like what was it like you know, can you just
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: kind of take me back to that creating that album
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: and just kind of the aesthetic that y'all were on then, like.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: We leaned into.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: You know, we loved any and everything that was out
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: at that time. If it was Juice Crew, we loved it.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: If it was Rock Him, we loved it. Like too Short,
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Too Short, we loved it. But we just as individuals
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: loved what we loved as well. And how we identified
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: ourselves Withether, how Mace identified himself as a DJ at
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: that time, me as an MC, and Day and Me
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: and Day really ed egged each other on, like to
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: really lean into like being different. And we you know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: we loved I'm talking about loved Ultramagnetic because they had
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: the most amazing beats, but they just talked a bit
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: differently and you and You considered them hard like hard rocks,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: but they were like talking with these large, larger than
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: life words and that spoke to me, and that spoke
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: to Dave or like how Chuck us three was that
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: really spoke to us how they talk and so that
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: it was just something that was just something we knew
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: that that's what we want to do. When we saw
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Bizmarck and he could have the hardest beats but have
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: fun in it. That spoke to us, you know, so
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: that is kind of a part of allowing us to
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: be like, yo, let's give that in what we do.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: We loved Koogie Rat, but we just knew we.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: Couldn't stand there acting like we're on the block and
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: we could listen to it, but that just wasn't what
• 26:58

• 28:00
  Speaker 1: get back to the podcast and then you guys dropped
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: dassole is Dead? What was like? When did y'all come
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: up with that title? And because you know what I'm saying,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like the pendulum swings the other way.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Well, it started with a ridiculous tour schedule that we
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: saw on the calendar.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Rush like the big board.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Dave, we raced out everywhere, had us on
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: the calendar. He wrote they lost all his dead on
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: all the dates and he held on to the title.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. We laughed so hard right there.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: We was like, yeah, wow, he held it in his head.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I like easy instead of pause, easy, like no commodores?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: What was uh?
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Because I feel like the imagery of the cover with
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the flower pot being tipped over.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Man, it was just about you know.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: And it was like an evolution in a sense, like
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: when once we realized like the title itself just sounded
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: cool for whatever reason to us, then we start putting
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: meaning beyond it behind it, Like death was an evolution
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: maybe to the next plane. So he was like, yo,
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: let's bring the look of the aesthetic of the first
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: album and what people was putting on us to an end,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: because we're just going to move on to something else.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: The whole Daisy age concept was getting misconstrued, right, and
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: it was putting this image on us that.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Could have heard us maybe even put you in a box.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it could have hurt us over the long run,
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: you know. So it was best that we killed it
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: before it killed us.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: And I mean the label was scared of us doing that.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: It's like, why would.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: You do that? Did you guys go away?
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: And why would you say Daylight so is dead? Like
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: how could you do that? And he was like, because
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: we can, that's what we want to do. And it
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: was like, look, these new guys PM don they just
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: came out on arrest development. They're gonna take what you
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: did and they're gonna run with it. Well, it was like,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: well let him run because we're not doing that again.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: You know, you guys are kind of like the inventors
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: of the skit, if you will.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: When did you guys just say that should be its
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: own thing?
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: That's because because if you think about, like at the time,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: like a skit's not a thing.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Nah, that's a wild thing to give a track to
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: on a CD. You know, it was just something natural, man.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: It was from the first thing.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, even before that, like even when we would just
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: be in the house. Skits originated for us because we
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: were clowning around when we should have been rehearsing. Right,
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: So if Mace's DJAN and we should be me and
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Dave should be trying to say our rhyme, Dave start
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: clowning around as Mace's DJ, and he'll just start trying
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: to talk.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: And the record button is on on.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: And he's trying to talk another language, or act like
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: he's Irish, or do something silly, and then it just
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: wanted to As May said, we wouldn't erase it, and
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: we just start compiling all this clowning around on tape.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: That's yeah, that was it. Smile and the smiles I'm bugging.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Prince Paul heard it, and then Prince Paul would show
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: us like, yo, like this is crazy because this is
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: what me and my friends do. And he put in
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: like videotapes of him and his friend's overdubbing karate flicks.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: So we just realized we had this thing in common
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: of this this funny style of things to do. So
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: once we got the deal, we kept that. Like that
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: skit that's on the first single, where was that the
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Dan Stucky thing? That was just something that was already done.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: We didn't make it for a single. We didn't make
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: it for the single. We just thought, for some crazy reason,
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: let's put this on this twelve inch. Once we tried
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: it on that twelve inch and we start getting results
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: of people loving it, then it was like, well, let's
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: do it again and then forget it for the album.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: It was just like, Okay, this is what we do.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: We add this and songs to what we do.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Was there ever a something that started out as a
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: skit that sparked a song like It's.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: Hard to say, because I mean, a skit for us
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: can be a song, like even on a new album,
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: this new album will be as a skit to me,
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: but someone will be like it's a song. It was
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: a skit made to set up the packs record. I
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: knew that I wanted to have something with fast and
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: it needed to slow down.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: And literally like, Yo, why is it slowing down? Because
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the next song will yeah start.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: That's the only reason why I made that, for no
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: other reason. And then when I found the exact record
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: that I thought it could be great to do it with,
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: we did it so skits for us always could. I
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: mean like hay Love on Daylight Always Dead. That was
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: a skit, but it was long enough to be a song.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: What's your guys' favorite non album Daylight record? Because you
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: guys have so many, Like, uh, what was the Trouble
• 32:56

  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you guys could put together, you're like twenty
• 35:09

• 35:13
  Speaker 1: are current.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Who would fit the mold? Who would you guys plug in?
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: They gotta be like really new, new new.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, let's say the last you know, fifteen
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: twenty years Oh, then that's easy that Tyler Earle jid
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: someone else, I would say.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: A little bit more.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Harder, absol. J Cole, not in mine, Absol. I like this,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: shout out the solo man. That brother is crazy. Yeah,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I think that's a good one for me.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: You know, what about you? I can't really call it.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Anybody who he left out besides j Cole.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm you said in the last fifteen mm hmm
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: hmmm Anderson.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Pack, Oh Anderson be nice.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: That man even knowledge when they do the so man,
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: I just would be the Prince Paul like he was.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: I should be really dope.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: My brain is?
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I always wondered obviously Q Tips on the new album,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: you guys have such a brotherhood with Tip and recipes
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: to Fife, and we think.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: About Tribe, we think about Daylight.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: You guys are synonymous with each other, like I can
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: only imagine, because I'm sure you guys were just in
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the studio with each other all the time. What was
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: it like ever like a friendly rivalry between you guys,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: because it was just like it had to be.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Like a you know, steel sharp and steel.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah really, but in a real friendly like for me
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: and I like I can't even speak for me.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: For me, it was like inspiration.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Like when I would be around Q Tip and he
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: could just play me something that is so crazy and
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: have the nerve to then erase it in front of me.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: I would be like, Yo, this dude is crazy. If
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: he know he just can just sit on stuff like
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: that that he can just erase a beat, I gotta
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: get my ship together. Like that's what it was for me.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: I was just really inspired around him in Africa because
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: those dudes was like really really dope to me.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm always inspired by Tip. Actually stopped coming
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: to the studio because of that, because you hear one
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: thing and you fall in love with it and then
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: it's totally something else or it didn't make the album.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: So after the after the second album with Tribe, I
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: stopped showing up.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I wait, I wait to finish.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because you want to hear to finished product.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's just too many to name, Like everything
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: is fair, like the original to everything is fair.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Like you hear on the record is not. That was
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: one of the songs broke my heart. I love what's
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: on the record, but the original in the studio it was.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: It's interesting because if you go back to like early
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: nineties New York hip hop, you know, you guys kind
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: of laid the the groundwork and then it kind of
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: feels like, you know, we always have like these I
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: would say, like kind of like weird divisions in hip hop,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: people's styles, people's you know, movements, and I can only imagine.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: So you guys are coming up, tribes coming up. Obviously
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: public enemy is already a thing, and then you get
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: like Wu Tang Nas Biggie later totally different vibe but
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy that y'all didn't like mesh more
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: together then, was it? Because y'all were just kind of
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: on like they obviously Wu Tang was on some street
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: shit like.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Nah, the industry was just changing, man, things were actually changing,
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: and everybody was moving according to the change.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Because outside of that, we we all hung around each other, right,
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, Rizza loved principle, he loved us.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: He would I mean, yeah, he would always be around us.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: But yeah, like as May said when we started in
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: eighty nine, yeah, if Wu Tang and Nasingham was out,
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: then we would all been on tour together.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: It's just changed. First, Yeah, it just changed that.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: By the time they were prevalent, they the system was
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: set up like someone who has to be exactly like
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: Wu Tang will be together with them, you know, like
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: rough Riders will be I don't know if someone who's
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: got the same energy as them opposed to them being
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: with daily.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you see rough riders and maybe Rockefellers like that,
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: right right, right, So they start marrying synonymous groups as
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: opposed to mixing a bunch of different fruit together, you know,
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: which where we come from, we was all mixed up
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: we was mixed.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Dean on a tour of run ding m C like
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: you know more style oldest stick with Fudini running seas
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: rough around the edges. But they were on tour together
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: right but it was like if they were still together
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: in the era we came in, they would have never
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: been near each other like Wodini would have been with
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: like heavy d.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Right right right right right right there. And we toured
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: with l n W A two short cane select wreck.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: D o C.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: We all loved the one room so crazy, Yeah, what's
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the n W?
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: What's what like?
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Being like on tour and we had the best to
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: this day, the best live that's.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Possible for they live show and.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: They inspired have the best the best way.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: Knowing how to be n W A know how to
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: turn a dead room into a very live atmosphere like
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: to be to come in the room and people are
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: just sitting.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: They know how to go from the top.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: It would be like I would even to this day,
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: funny enough, I've never asked them like I would just
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: want to know how or who taught them to be
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: so on point with their live show because for them
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: to be so many people they even broke that up
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: d C first Yellow and dre Q by himself didn't
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: eat like they they gave you doses of themselves and
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: then and.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Then the whole.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: It was just crazy. They had such great show that
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: they had thirty minutes. They could pull all all together
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: in thirty minutes, and it was insane.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: They had to broad They had to Broadway play aspect
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: like prostitutes walking with props up in like manhole, like
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: they came out of the manhole, like they.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Had DJ on two garbage can Yo.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: It was crazy.

  Speaker 3: It's crazy, you know, like poles set up and holes
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: on the corner. Are you kicking it backstage on? Because
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: I can just imagine, like, because obviously Q.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Did a really good job of like you know, going
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: to New York and working on was most wanted, but
• 42:05

  Speaker 5: Just friends who knew them and us and they just
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: start asking like, yo, would you would you ever want
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: to work with the gorilla? And he's like, oh, you
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: mean the dude who worked with Dell.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: I was like.
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And from there I guess they let them know
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: and it just kind of started from that point.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Did you guys know it was going to be like
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: a cartoon group.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: We knew the cartoon group only because they had from
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: when they did the first album and Dell was on
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: that guy.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: And hotly did a DJ toy with Danny Ortman, who
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: produced that song.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: And learning all of that.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like, like low key, like what's kind of
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: going on right now? Where you got like writers like
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: kind of doing the AI thing. It's kind of like
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: in a weird way, like prophetic what the Gorillas did.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, without question, and I mean, you know, Damon
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: meeting him, it was just just.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: You know, we just became like family after that.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, he was such a great musician, great creative mind,
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: willing to work and try and do anything even when
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: he and he reminds me a lot of cute tip
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: like even when he has the smash, he's like, all right,
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: but let me see how it is if I do
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: a variant cover, let me flip it another way. Your
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: mates try to add this, do that, blah blah blah.
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: Like That's how he was, and it was just we
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: just love that about him. So from that point on, man,
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: we just became like family.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: During One of my favorite verses that happened during the
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: pandemic was the Primo Risen one, And I remember that
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: one like made me think like could they assa on tribe,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: do like a friendly fun versus did they ever hit
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: you guys up?
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: It floated around. I mean, you know, it floated around,
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: and not that we would have had an issue with it.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: I just didn't think it would happen. You know, I'm
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: being honest. I didn't think it would happen because I know, like.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like the kind of thing Tip would
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: do it all. Tip don't like to be outside let alone.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: You're just doing that without having the artillery of his
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: man like fight.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Worse, it makes it a lot different.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I was just thinking when it
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: was like the IG live version and fools were like
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: at the.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Crib just playing ship.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was my favorite versus era what it was
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: like super like we're stuck at home, everyone's got rubber gloves.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: When we go to the groceries.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: What a wild time, wild time Man. Obviously, with this
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: new album Man Cabin in the Sky, it is you know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's just it's such a beautiful tribute
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: to Dave. You know, when you guys initially start playing
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: these records for people who are close, Uh what what
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: is some of the reactions you're getting, you know, because
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I can imagine they got to be emotional, they got
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I mean so.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: Right, okay, the reactions. I mean, I made sure I
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: got it to the homies we grew up with, you know.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: I did a zoom call played the record for all
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: the homies that definitely stuck really close to Dave, especially
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: when he would come off the road. So I got
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: the opportunity to play it for them, and they cried.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: A lot of them were like thank you. I'm going
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: to tell you this too. It was like, I know
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: the Monarchs is thank you Dave, but there was like
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: thank you, Mace, thank you pass. It was like it
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: helped give them closure, you know, because a lot of
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: them was with him the night before he passed, so
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: it threw them off knowing like they just had a
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: ill conversation, laughing and joking and wake up the next
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: day he was gone. So it was a big void
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: for a few of the homies and the record gave
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: them closure. Definitely therapeutic, you know, it hit all the
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: emotions of joy and pain. Yeah, you know, so you
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: know it was. It's one for the books for everybody
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: to who who really loved Dave?
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Was this closure for you guys too? You feel like
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: at least some help.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: Definitely therapeutic. I can't really say closure, but therapeutic knowing
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: we had more plans and we still, you know, gonna
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: continue to these plans we had.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's definitely not closure for me, but
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: because but it's not like for it to be so
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: called open that I have a negative or disagreeable issue
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: with Dave.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: I you know, just losing my mom at an early age.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: My my relationship with death has just been different since
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: age eighteen.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, Dave's right next to me. That's how
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I always looked at it from the Yeah, I mean
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: that's how you talk about it, this project.
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's it wasn't a closure thing for me.
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: It's just a mission that I'm on just to make
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: sure like no one could and I know no one
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: could ever forget him. So that's even selfish to say
• 48:56
