  Speaker 2: One, what's kept you all together all of these years
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: just as a collect.
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: I would say, like the grind that you saw and
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: making the band of us even being created as a
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: group like that was serious. Like we really walked to
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: get cheese scaped, We really stood outside in the cold
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: and put our all into this. So we take that
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: serious everywhere we go, you know, and.
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: Then you'll never thought about like we just walking home,
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: you know, but I can say I really really wanted it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 9: But like nobody ever said, like tell you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 10: Then they group members fell off and came back and
• 2:05
  Speaker 10: things of that, and so we had, you know, we
• 2:06
  Speaker 10: had the heels and the valleys of groups. But at
• 2:09
  Speaker 10: the same time, I think the passion behind us and
• 2:12
  Speaker 10: the other thing that we're really trying to accomplish out
• 2:14
  Speaker 10: here is is what keeps us going and we really
• 2:16
  Speaker 10: like to be in front of the fans. We like to, uh,
• 2:19
  Speaker 10: you know, just create the new music and be in
• 2:21
  Speaker 10: fun of him all the time.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I don't remember him making y'all walk for remember the band?
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: We walked the band they only had to go to
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: They only had to go to Brooklyn, Brooklyn. We had
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: to walk off all of across George Washington Bridge.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And I don't remember that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it was crazy. It was bull.
• 2:40
  Speaker 11: Never should have happened. Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: When when do you think that that show really was
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: trying to set you all off for success or it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: just for TV?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's more honestly, that show was kind of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, it is.
• 2:52
  Speaker 12: My TV TV.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: It was TV, you know what I'm saying. It definitely
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't set up for the artists to to to to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: succeed after definitely wasn't.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: But he didn't know what it was doing, you know
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: what he's doing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Only by the grades of God that like we were
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: able to still maintain and still be here and still
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: do music and not just do music, but do like
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: still do amazing music. Y'all heard?
• 3:16
  Speaker 9: No, just cool?
• 3:20

  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: R and B.
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: I'm telling you, yes, I am here. I'm going to
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: listen you have today.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, I've heard from regular and I heard one in
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: the bathroom just now when I walked in the bathroom
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: somebody was playing in.
• 3:32
  Speaker 12: The music while.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But you said, you said that you feel like TV
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: was made for you guys, not to succeed. Why do
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you feel that way? I mean, just to show I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: should say, I mean just just the way the whole
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: thing was like set up, like even from the contracts,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, the way it was structured
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to like when the cameras were gone, he was like,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: all right, guys, it was nice knowing you.
• 4:09
  Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: We had we had to really go in and fight
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: for our next fight for our next deal, like we
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: wasn't already signed, you know what I'm saying. We literally
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: had to have people like Beacocks and that really cared
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: about us and what was the name that we need?
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Tell it took people like that to go to the label,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: like what are y'all doing? Bro, y'all got the hottest
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: R and B group in the world here, and y'all
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: won't do nothing with them, you know, And so that's
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: what it took for us to even get in the
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: door to do another project.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: They wasn't worried about us like that. It was for
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: what it was for.
• 4:37
  Speaker 11: They thought about it for it like that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 10: But you got people who've been grinding their whole life
• 4:40
  Speaker 10: at certain things. It wasn't just a start at a
• 4:42
  Speaker 10: TV show exactly. It was things that you know, I
• 4:44
  Speaker 10: was ten years in right and stuff like that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Right, I was signed to Wild Left at the time,
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: you know, and I was a music world you know what,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: father for years.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: So we was already in the game.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: It was created to make it look like he gave
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: us to like put us learn. We learned everything we
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: knew from this situation, every thing, but it were venting
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: the game. We had to get brought out of our contract,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: some of us.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: How would y'all do some of the.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Things, because if y'all were already in the industry, right,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I understand for people that was this was their first
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: time signing, and why would y'all do some of the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: things that they made y'all do. If y'all were there,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: like you were signed, you were signed before y'all already
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: your foot was in the door, Why would y'all do
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: some of the stuff that I feel was like, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: don't want to say degrading, but little degraded, like walk
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: five boroughs across the George Washington Bridge, go get cheesecake,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: like and y'all know, it wasn't part of the industry.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That was just part of the show.
• 5:29
  Speaker 10: I think at that point, it's just you know, you
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: got your foot in, but you ain't all the way
• 5:33
  Speaker 10: where you want to go. And you see somebody who's
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: a musical mogul and who can possibly take this thing
• 5:37
  Speaker 10: and take it somewhere else, so you'd be like, yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: all right, cool, I'll go and take that chance.
• 5:42
  Speaker 11: I think that was more of a chance, and we
• 5:43
  Speaker 11: just took it, you know what I mean.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: And then for some of us, like me, I always
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: wanted to be signed a bad Boy, so that was
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: a that was a big thing for me, Like eat,
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: No matter the deals that I had before that or
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: the deal I was currently in, that's a position that
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: I always wanted to be in. I didn't know what
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: it was before I got into it, but that's where
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: when I moved to the United States. Bad Boy was
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: the first R and B hip hop that I even
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: knew or heard of, so it had that kind of influence.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: And when you got that kind of influence on somebody,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: especially at a young age, you.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying, Like, where did you move from?
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Germany? I grew up in Augsburg, German. My dad's in military,
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: so I'll travel around a lot. But once I came
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: back here, I wasn't allowed to listen to R and
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: B music like that because my dad is a bishop,
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: he's a pastor. So when I came here, it was
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: with my mom and I got to experience R and B.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Bad Boy was the first thing that I really gravitated to,
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: So it was something I really really wanted. So it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: like going after something that you've been going after all
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: your life and it being right there, you might do
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: some things that you wouldn't normally.
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: Do where y'all seeing like the previous season, like you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: were y'all close with any of the other people like
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: child you know that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Came after.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Nobody gave us heads up, I mean came, but they
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: were still doing They were still very well in the
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: middle of their situation too, so they wouldn't given us
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: that many jewels to really to make us understand what
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: the situation was. But they did try to tell us
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: a few things, and the big sisters to us and
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: you know, help us out or whatever, prior to us
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: finding out for ourselves.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I wonder did people take y'all serious because y'all had
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: talent that was obviously. There was also the antics to
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the TV show, And I always think about that one
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: scene where.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Y'all was singing y'all last was like, yeah, but y'all
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: gotta get naked.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: There's a million things that did he say at that
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: time that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Now we didn't age well, we went back to watch
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the clip and you forget how hard y'all was singing?
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: What and how good?
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 7:44
  Speaker 11: Damn you remember the neked part.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, yo, they actually.
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: Sounded really and ain't nobody singing like that now? Like
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: that's what also makes it so viral too, Like you
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: damn y'all niggas that y'all wasn't no studio, It wasn't
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: no nothing, no touches on your voice, y'all really fucking
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: singing like boys them in and told you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: To your place was so funny when.
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: I didn't get it, But I mean, I'm thinking he
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: was meaning, like.
• 8:19
  Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying. You gotta be vulnerable while
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: I'm singing. But it wrong. It's how they That's the
• 8:28
  Speaker 11: only way I was going to continue.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Because if you watch.
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: The people thing, he explained it a little bit before.
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: Like the video that's going around now they cut out
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: the mole. He did explain it like he wants he
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: wants you to be open, like emotionally open, and that's
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: how you get.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: The explained making.
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: He did explained it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: But the video that's going Viraus just they were just singing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He's like, all right, that's that makes really need to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: make It's just not aging.
• 9:06
  Speaker 13: Well let's just put.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Us especially with the new allegations or whatever things are.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: But did that make people take y'all less serious?
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Definitely.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: We we had a hard time breaking into radio because
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: people really thought it was just a giveing for TV.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: And we had the number one album in the country
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: and couldn't get radio plays because it couldn't get radio
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: play because people was literally like, oh, we didn't think
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: y'all need that, Like y'all you know what I'm saying.
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: And it was crazy because the people people really didn't
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: give us the chance for as musically because of it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: They was like, yo, y'all come into places and people
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: coming to see y'all and y'all selling things out, but
• 9:39
  Speaker 10: y'all didn't have a y'all don't have a record.
• 9:40
  Speaker 11: That was pushing it was.
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: It was more from the TV success that DJ's and
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: nobody would really give us that full play like yo,
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: now it's real dope stuff, you know, But we just
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: wouldn't getting it just because of the TV show and
• 9:50
  Speaker 10: what they thought we already had, you know what I mean.
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: And then even then going from you know, because Willie
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: you went from uh making a band to.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Love and hip hop?
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: He did more. Really, how did that help or hurt?
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: Did that help career?
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: I mean just steady and steady on the grind of things, man.
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: I don't think that it, you know, helped much.
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: But at the same time, it was visibility.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah for sure, because then we started looking at you
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: as I get it right, But you.
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: Know anything, but the best thing about the best thing
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: about it is I'm seventeen years married now to this day.
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: Ye, So you know what I'm saying.
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: No matter if we mess up or the things, as
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: long as we grow and we mature from those things
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: and were able to correct our rooms. I feel like
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: we get to a better stage, I think, and that's
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: why I am now how.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Much of that is in the new album, Like what
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: songs reflected?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Every Man, Every record on that album is somebody's story
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: at one point or another. Every single Like it's seventeen
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: of the hardest R and B records you'll ever hear.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not just saying example a member of the group,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: but this is one of the dopest R and B
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: albums in a long long time.
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: And to answer your question, one of the songs that
• 10:55
  Speaker 10: I think the touch on for me is a record
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: called In or Out. I think it's really big for
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: a lot of relationships now a days. You know how
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: we go in and sometimes we feel like we hear
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: we nodded, and we may be in a position to
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: almost lose our girl, but we're fighting back and we
• 11:08
  Speaker 10: don't understand the arguments and things to say, those type
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: of things. I think all that stuff comes down to
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: that one record, In or Out.
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: I think it's really really dope.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Shout out to the exclusive to produce, Yeah, and they
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: and they really did extensive research on each of us
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: before they went in and produced the records. Like they
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: knew about our situations. They knew about me being newly married,
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: they knew about some of the things they went through personally,
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: and so they really worked hard to incorporate it into
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: the record, to make it personal and make it, you know, make.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: It congratulations, you're newly married, you are three years Okay,

  Speaker 6: able to build that ground, they all from one place.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: They able to see each other every time they want.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: We all live in five different places across the United States.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: We even to just get a rehearsal for a show,
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: take take.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Flights, just didn't have a rehearsal for a show, you know.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: So like that, we've been fighting through that by ourselves
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: this whole time.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Group. So everything is super dup extend somebody.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: So I wanted to know when is too big? By
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the way, I just want to say that, I.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Wanted to know when did he said R and B
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: was dead back then a couple of years ago, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: he had y'all.
• 13:19
  Speaker 13: Was signed to him.
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: How did you?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: How did that make y'all feel? Because y'all, I don't
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: know what he said. I mean the bad boy one,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, man, I feel like people like that I mean,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: especially with him having like a huge like platform and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: then having a huge partner putting us together. Obviously, it's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: almost like I don't want nobody else to love you
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: if I can't have you type type situation, so I
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: want everybody like.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: You, like you, not.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: You know what, nobody else, nobody.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I don't think.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: I don't think it really affected us like that because
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: I've heard did he say hisself, like, I work with
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: everybody from one twelve to that, and I've heard everybody
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: from Joasy he was and he's basically like Day twenty
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: six is the best group I've ever in my life
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: work with bocally, So I've heard him. We've heard him
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: say those things as well, so we work with him
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: at the time.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Did you believe him when he said that he believe.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: He knows that we are.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: I believe what he said too, and I believe he
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: really believed that he knows.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: That's what.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: I don't think he would care if we weren't, if
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: we didn't weren't capable of doing.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Y'all better vocally than Jodasy he did.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: That's what he said. I didn't say that. I'm just saying, yeah,
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: he's a lie. I like y'all, but no.
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: Singing that Josey is great man, and so I'm not
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: gonna say, Okay.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I can see that if you're saying it like that,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Kat and Jojo the lead singer and then when one
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: twelve is usually slim with all of y'all can sing.
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: But but let's just be honest. Though some people do
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: skate off of sex appeal and and and them good
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: hits though, like I'm not I'm not sitting here discredit
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: in Judas, like yeah, we know them for them hits,
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: you know, but then you got vocalists like motherfuckers that
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: can like sing a cappella and make you feel the
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: same way.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why it's the big voice to men because
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: they both embodied.
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it's both of them vibe two things
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: at the same time.
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: Both of y'all vibe.
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: But it's like vocally, like if you can hear somebody
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: saying a cappella and make you get that that feeling
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: of jodasy when you you look like but then you
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: need to beat, you need everything with that, it's like
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: a vibe. I really feel vocally they are a strong group.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: But what you said is true.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: It's like Casey and Jojo would the singers, but all
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: five of y'all, can I get it?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So what happened to the bad Boy deal? And so
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: because you were still, like you said, still having number
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: one records and everything, So why did.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: They so did he went through some stuff I guess
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: with with with Atlantic and we were joint venture between
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Atlantic and Bad Boy and whatever they went through at
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: the time Atlantic took us from bad Atlanta kept y'all,
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: yeah exactly, we were going to move forward whatever that
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: situation was with Bad Boy because we we had to
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: stay with Atlantic. And when y'all Atlantic did, they believe
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: like they should have, they believed and we worked and
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: then Brian decided to, uh, you know, do some things
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: that made us lose.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Situation like they Look, I'm telling you, we like to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: tell the truth.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Y'all like to fabricate a whole lot.
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: Man.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be real with y'all. Man, Like, look, Brian
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: is the bad guy, and I'm cool with that. You
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If stuff ain't right to me, man,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna point it out, and I'm gonna pointed out
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: and pointing out. And if if nothing is being done
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: about it. I'm just gonna remove myself from that situation.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So what happened, Brian and I had to step away
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: because it just wasn't it wasn't rising right, just you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: just some some business you should have worn the crew.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That's not that's not necessarily true. I did not leave
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: no talk record, Okay, allow me to talk Okay, No, basically,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: man like, I wasn't exactly pleased with the management at
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the time, and I just sent a letter of direction
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to the company, our record company at the time, Atlantic
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: mm hmm, okay, I don't want to go ahead basically anyways,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I basically like let them know, Hey, I had new management.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: So if there's any business as far as they concern,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: please direct any business as far as Brian is concerned
• 17:42

• 17:47
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened after that.

  Speaker 4: Artist solo artists on a one records, that's what I saw.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: No no, no no, I got a solo deal with
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: with at the time he won, mm hmm. But I wasn't.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was still going to be a member
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: of the group. I just got to deal as a solo.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that the rest of the group.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Did you tell the label that you.
• 18:11
  Speaker 13: Just knew I was working?
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: We didn't know, Jesus.
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: The thing is Q had already left the group, so
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: we had went down the four bay time. He was
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: with Atlantic, so it was already four of us so different,
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: so they wasn't gonna go through it again with him doing.
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: He was pulling the same exact thing. He pulled, like
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: the same letter everything.
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: He wrote it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: But you tell you very transparent.
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: She started tripping at the gate, different vehicles and everything.
• 18:45
  Speaker 13: Just because I wasn't messing with management exactly thing.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I got my own men group.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: That's why did you should have never told you I
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: was better than.

  Speaker 10: He was number one most added before let me finish,
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: go ahead and then like I think we're supposed were
• 19:16

• 19:19
  Speaker 10: Detroit in Ohio, Columbus, Ohio.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Boom.
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: He got it, remember, yeah, because it was real. I
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: had my backspack.
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: That's I'm like, y'all, y'all sitting now.
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Atlanta just dropped y'all.
• 19:33
  Speaker 13: Like that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why, Brian. You know, I'm gonna
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: tell you why somebody had to be the bad guy always.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell exactly why Atlantic ended up signing T
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: G T mm hmmm. And it was a situation where
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: two groups are the same. I mean, I mean they're
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: pretty much the same type of group.
• 19:53
  Speaker 13: Not really, not at all.
• 19:55
  Speaker 11: It was it was all you, Brian. It was nothing.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: About there's a lot of happening, man, just a minute
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: at the time.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: We was going through some things.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: And you know, I wanted different management.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: No, no, this was like what eleven I think eleven eleven.
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: But that's what happens when it's a group like you
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: feel me because you can't make decision because you're making
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: decisions for yourself, but the whole time it's for other
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: people for an account.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: And when you bring somebody like a T. G.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: T and they're gonna say, were given all especially back
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: then we're gonna give all our resources.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: These more established artists.
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: Who have made an individually come together and that's exactly
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: what happened.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But obviously they want to put off from me. So
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you know what, guys, I'll take that bound. So who
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: called Brian after because I know one of y'all called him.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Like talk talk too long time? I was that was
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: at the time.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: That was thing back back in after we thought the
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: label wasn't paying attention.
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: We then went to.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Atlanta and recorded this bomb album and we're just ready
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: to kick the door in a way that wasn't for
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: making the band. You know, people could take us serious.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: We were finally in that position.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Don't let me, don't let me.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Fight for you, fight for your credibility.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, Why would I shoot a music video?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Why would I go to one O six in Parking
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: premiere the video with guys and everything and not playing
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: on being a member.
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: Because you didn't know what your actions was gonna lead to. Bro,
• 21:35
  Speaker 11: he just did something.
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: So basically just.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Intentional. You didn't mean to do it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I just wanted my business handle.
• 21:47
  Speaker 13: There we go.
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: Bro, are you the youngest, you're the baby?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Are you the nigga? Why did you believe what was?
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Why did you leave initially?
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: Well, if you watched making the band for like the
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: last season you saw that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 13: I was like tripping about management.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I remember that business.
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: So that's why when we went to Atlantic, I was like,
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: oh he's still involved.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: No who the manager at the time? Okay with the manager,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I remember.
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah, old.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: So when I went into your business, how did y'all
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: eat during that time? I know you jumped hip because
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: it was like the bags was there, this was out,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: this was my life. So how did y'all eat from that?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: You just get dropped. Brian's not effort with y'all, You're
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: not talking to him. So how did y'all eat? Because
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: y'all group, I.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: Mean, God is good because we had a lot of
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: exposure at that point where we could do we could
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: find money in the same industry doing everything like for instance,
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: even still now work for the Board of Education in
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: New York for black New York black arts that do
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: off off broad off Broadway for all the schools in
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: in the area that you know, children can't pay all
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: those money for Broadway tickets, so we bring Broadway to
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: the schools and stuff like that. So I got into
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: I got involved in that more that end of things.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: And still you know, producing and writing for people people
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: always once they see you on TV your music things,
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: people always gonna come. And you know you're always gonna
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: be able to have a bag. If you know how
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: to work, he'll work, you'll craft.
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: What about you of not being in the group, Michael, Ye,
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: to be honest, it was a very hard time about
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: It was a very hard time for me. This is
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: a time where I went through mental health and I'm
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: hell now, but that's I went through so much of
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: not being in a group and.
• 23:46
  Speaker 13: Some other stuff too. Uh. It's just was a time
• 23:49
  Speaker 13: of kind of like me trying to recover.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Did you yes, good job me too?
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I wanted to ask because you said something Mary, You
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: said that did he didn't really know what he was doing,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: which is shocking because you know of all the success
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: he's had with R and B groups like before y'all
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: it was the Jodys was the one twelve.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: What you mean when he said you didn't know what
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: he's doing?
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Well, I just think it was more. I think it
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: was more divine. I think God had more to do
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: with it. I believe he knows good talent, he know
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: how to put it together. I just don't think he
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: thought he was putting together this five Well, I meant
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: that all these years later, whether he's involved or not,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: no matter how much we've been kicked down or that,
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: we're still gonna overcome, you know, from these five different
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: places in the in the world that already put a
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: big wedge but between us to be able to be successful,
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: to be able to get rehearsals in and stuff like that.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: So I just don't think he really knew. I don't
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: think he was really in control. That's just my spiritual opinion.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: You know, I think you know what I hate you, guys.
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: I hate a passionate person that doesn't have a good
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: work ethic. And I think we're all passionate and to
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: have great work ethic, and I think that keep us
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: together too.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Did he don't have a good work up because you're
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: saying no, I think other groups and people that can't
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: keep it together.
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: And like artists got you, sometimes they have the passion,
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: but they don't know how to put the work in
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: behind it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 13: They don't want to get.
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: Up early in the morning, or I don't know, they
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: just don't want to put the work in behind it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: But what did y'all learn from bad Boy in those days?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: That y'all are still able to apply to now.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Man, there's always somebody, always somebody trying to take I'll
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: never forget that. I always remember that somebody always trying
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to take your spot, like somebody else is working harder,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like so like, I think
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: that's that plays a huge part in us still being
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: a group as well. The sad thing is what you
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: said something earlier that because it was a reality show
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: on TV show, I don't think people took y'all as
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: serious as they should have, right. I think we did
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: that with everybody. I think we did that with Deity Cane.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I think we did that with the making of the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: band Crew with even on the crossover, Ruben studied and Fantasia.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Fantasia is kind of the only one that we really
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: accepted to. But Ruben, I don't love them.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I disagree.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I just heard an album like working a new album
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: now phenomenal.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: The reason I disagree with the analogy he's making because
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: they didn't make people on American Idol do the things
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: that they made. American Idol was always treated as this
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: is gonna be the next superstar, It's gonna be America's
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: next top superstar.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: They didn't have him walking to Brooklyn.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Like a degrading type thing was you know what I'm saying.
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: And at the time it's crazy because at the time
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: you don't see it that way. And man, you just
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: sent a fight and you like, you know, the competitive
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: nature and you was like, now I'm just gonna win you.
• 26:28
  Speaker 13: I mean, no matter what, make.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: You when you're competing and make it like that too,
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Like when you're competing to Geinst somebody else, it's not
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: really thinking about what you're doing.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: It's just thinking about beating you know what I mean?
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: What it is he ain't gonna beat me.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: For the first album too. When the group was picked,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: y'all still in the competition.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Not me.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: If when when Brian left the group, did y'all did
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: they Well, you didn't even have the option, but did
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: you think about replacing them?
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: You know our fans wouldn't have that.
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's what we felt.
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: We just felt like with them watching us grow on
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: TV and come together and it's just been hard to
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: be like, yeah, here's.
• 26:59
  Speaker 13: This new guy.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Can't get no cheesecake.
• 27:00
  Speaker 14: I feel like that wasted a lot of other groups
• 27:04
  Speaker 14: tried it and it failed.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: No, audition did great with it when they put Johnny in.
• 27:07
  Speaker 13: Yeah, That'sohn.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: Somebody somebody didn't lose nobody to add them.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: They just added an addition to they didn't get rid of.
• 27:20
  Speaker 13: We watched a lot of.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah that.
• 27:32
  Speaker 13: Different things.

• 27:38
  Speaker 3: You know they want sing but La saying they weren't,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: they weren't considered the lead singers. Yeah, right right, Mike,
• 27:46

• 27:49
  Speaker 3: it was completely Brian. They got dropped from.
• 27:51
  Speaker 14: Atlantic and it was it was it was his fault,
• 27:56

• 28:41
  Speaker 1: It's available right now, y'all.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I do want to talk to you all about when
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: I know, when the bad Boy reunion to it happened,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: y'all weren't there, But then y'all did y'all y'all own thing?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Did they even invite y'all?
• 28:50
  Speaker 13: Yeah, no, yep, yes we did.
• 28:53
  Speaker 14: You Brian we got invited was on the radio and
• 29:02
  Speaker 14: said something to Puff and man, I.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Just basically was like, yo, like I just find it
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: kind of weird. I don't know anything about that, but
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: Pause.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: No, like I absolutely know nothing about that. I just
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: felt like it was weird that, like, yo, you got
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: a whole bad Boy to come like going on, Like
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like in the beginning stages or talks or
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: anything like that. Nobody reached out to us before did anything.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: The tour was on, so nobody reached out to us,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: And I felt that was kind of weird because like, yo,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: like I felt like we played a huge part and
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean especially in like the you know,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the so all was.
• 29:49
  Speaker 11: When he didn't know, he didn't reach out.
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: It was the nation.
• 29:54
  Speaker 14: Okay, he didn't transparency buff He had us on like
• 29:59
  Speaker 14: certain dates so like all the major markets, he want
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: us to come in and fill in on those. But
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: then once he was putting it together because we was
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: doing like the big autograph signing and things and sending
• 30:09
  Speaker 14: that in for the the merch and once like a
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: week later, Brian need an interview and saying, you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 14: we need to be on there.
• 30:18
  Speaker 13: On there, and then he took off.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was like.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Peer called me personally and was like Peer called me personally,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: was like, hey, man, tell your boy Brian to shut up.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: I'm like, well, he's like, we already got you on tour,
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: but puff don't put you all on there no more
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: because he heard him, because he heard what he said
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: or whatever.
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: And to shut up, man, load of the back.
• 30:40
  Speaker 12: Guy.
• 30:41
  Speaker 13: I don't understand why.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I don't understand the miscommunication because that's just a conversation.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Now now he said all that, right, that's my first
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: time hearing about all that.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: No, it's not bro, I did.
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: You see what I'm saying?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Like, y'all you always want Okay, cool.
• 30:58
  Speaker 15: You know you got the Beast accountability who definitely said
• 31:10
  Speaker 15: after the fact.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying before nobody knew about any of this,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: any of this, they was thinking there was no communication,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: there was no transparency. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Do you
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: think it would have happened had I known all this information?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Like That's why I'm saying, like communication is key to everything,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: every relationship, every business, every everything. Communication is key to everything.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: And there was no communication being brought to Brian.
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: So if somebody knew and with tell.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: You, I didn't know, that was management. Okay, management, brothers,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: forget the management.
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: No management told us not to tell Brian.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I got left out of it.
• 31:58
  Speaker 14: Because again, this was weeks of him telling us this,
• 32:01
  Speaker 14: and we were in the process, like we're in the
• 32:03
  Speaker 14: last phase of like doing the autograph signing to be
• 32:06
  Speaker 14: a part of the tour. So I don't understand how
• 32:09
  Speaker 14: he slipped through the cracks and everybody else didn't.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: But right, every every executive bad Boy is lying if
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: they act like that band era of bad Boy didn't matter.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Like general, all of what we grew up on it
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: from the band to danity came today twenty six.
• 32:32
  Speaker 11: That's that's what I felt.
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: So even with that era, being watchedtreating from that tour
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: was like what you're doing, Like it kind of put
• 32:39
  Speaker 10: us back in the mentally to think like, okay, cool,
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: we already knew he's coming from a television show, but
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: he even kind of stamped that more for us at
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: that moment, like damn, you really thought of it just
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: like a TV show. And the rest of his music
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: is what you're doing. But you know, you're just trying
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: to erase what we what we brought, you know. And
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: so that's why it's really strong that we're still here,
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: you know, because it's it's without no extras, you know.
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: It is because we're really passionate about what we're doing.
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: Is because we really believe, and it's because the fans
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: really receive us and and they come out.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: And we've been people try to stop us too.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: We didn't have some roadblocks along the way, like some
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: big opportunities that kind of just like kind of fell.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Through and we don't know why, you know, So that
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: kind of adversity too.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, I mean, deals't really I
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: don't know if I.
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: Should really, I mean, but basically basically deals that that
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: we had that you know that we know that we
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: would actually and that you know, just magically.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Like labels, endorsements, contracts already signed and everything.
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: After after the.
• 33:42
  Speaker 10: Bad Boy, after Atlantic, we had more opportunities because people
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: saw it and they believe, like yo, y' ain't got
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: to deal. So we started having so many conversations. We
• 33:48
  Speaker 10: had situations, we was we had us situation was actually
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: signed to another major and as.
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: We did like a press release to let the world
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: know the next day, the next day we have a deal.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: No more.
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, label that I remember that, I mean, I mean
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: we can't speak.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Look up, you feel that everything is happening happening with
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: right now? Is Calma for some of the stuff he did,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I mean I don't know.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't.
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: Play about me man, so I mean I I don't know.
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: It's a lot of things that he's done. I mean,
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: I don't know what he really did and didn't do.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: So I don't know.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I do got to ask a question though, earlier today
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: we heard a guy say that did he like to
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: record in the shower? Like he set up equipment?
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Have you lovers.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I ever recorded the shower.
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: Bathroom about that's.
• 34:42
  Speaker 13: Crazy a lot.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Mann. I would do about half of the stuff they said.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: I never experienced it myself because I feel like, as
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: a grown ass man, some of the stuff you just
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: shouldn't experience anyway. And I'm a grown man. There's only
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: so much so far you can influence or push me
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: or direction.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: I don't want to go.
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: I was from about to shoot.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: And every day they said, they set up all the
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: equipment like show like, I think you're making this up.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Something.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Did he watched it?
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I said, you said you got to show what he's
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: say happened in the shower.
• 35:28
  Speaker 13: I watched it.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: What he said, I don't remember.
• 35:30
  Speaker 13: I did.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: Just watch what you're talking about with Sarah Stokes and
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: all the mon that one just came.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: Of them, but the one that just came out a
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: couple of nights ago.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: I did that when it just came out.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Well, but he said recorded and did he wanted to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: record in the shower because he said he got it
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: was a vibe in the shower.
• 35:48
  Speaker 11: That's what I'm gonna be honest recording music. Oh, I mean, I.
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: Just want to say to be very transparent with y'all,
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: like I've been through so much trauma with this guy
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: man and the whole situation, and I just want to say,
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: I think he needs a lot of prayer and he
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: needs mental health, like the things that that we can
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: relate to, you know, absolutely, I think that's what's going
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: to save him or help him nothing else. I don't
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: think we should talk about him. I don't think we
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: should make fun of him.
• 36:19
  Speaker 9: It's like real A lot of the stuff is funny, though, I'm.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: With you onred. But the just point is it is
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of comedy, a lot of trauma.
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: You can really do laugh, just just.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Not all of it, all the thousands a baby, it's funny.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: But like a lot of times, man, you see people
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of times when we talk about people's trauma,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: it makes it feel like we're making excuses for him,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: but it really is that really probably is the root
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: of all of this, you know, like hurt people, hurt people, man, But.
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: No, you you're definitely want something like you know, just
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: inform because obviously the latest documentary, which is why we
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: was asking you all about it, it actually dives into
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: his childhood and how he may have gotten to the
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: state of where he is or where he was it
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: of a bad boything like my man know, yeah, that's what.
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: Show like you know, it's past with his mom and
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: how things that he was preview to at such a
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: young age and how it how it may have a
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: lot to do with conversations.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: You don't got to answer how did how did he
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: traumatize you? Personally?
• 37:32
  Speaker 13: I can't talk about it right now, but you find
• 37:36
  Speaker 13: out soon.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: The reason I said I do like these conversations is
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of young people that's trying to get
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: into the industry and a lot of times if we
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: don't tell these stories. Whether you know, people are gonna joke,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: it's regardless, but a lot of times if we don't
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: tell these stories, people don't see it right because from
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the outside, you know, we see Diddy on television a
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: lot and a lot of it it seems for TV,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: but you guys have been traumatized by you know, and
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: his other members have been traumatizing if we don't a
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: lot of times we don't tell those stories, the next
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: generation of artists that's coming up have no idea why.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: I got so much respect for the new the new
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: generation of artists because they found the way to not
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: need labels and do these things.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: They become famous on their own.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: Right now, bro, I guarantee you nobody can get on
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: TV and doing making the band because these little kids
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: are whoopio ass you get on there telling to go
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: get some cheesecake or talking to them the way did
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: he was talking to us and stuff like that. I'm
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: not taking nothing away from ourselves. We just had respect
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: for our It was different era. These kids ain't letting
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: that happen.
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: And to the point of where Amy was saying, like, yeah,
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: it's good to tell these stories. I understand it's hard
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: for you to tell you is right now, but it's
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: good to tell him because what did you say. You
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: said you came from Germany when you got to the States.
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: That was the you wanted to be son with bad
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: because you didn't know about all that other stuff. All
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: you knew was this guy. He made this person, this person,
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: he produced this record, and he had Biggie and he
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: had you know what I'm saying.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: So I went to you as the bad boy.
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: That's also why these things are important.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and is it hard right? Like you know, cut
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: it out? You had you had trauma from that.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Dude way before any of these allegations, right, so when
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: you got to do interviews and you know, these questions
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: are going to come up to the trigger things.
• 39:25
  Speaker 13: Honest, and he used to.
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: And my documents that I have from my mental health,
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: I have his name mentioned in there. But it used
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: to traumatize me a lot to where everybody thought something
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: was really wrong with me stuff. But I just don't
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: blame him. I'm blame people around him too, because they
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: ain't innocent either. So it's it's allowed.
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: Man.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: That's the thing, like you said, enables people around him,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: who are you know, whatever whatever happened, we don't know
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: because he's not found guilty or anything like that, but
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: the people around him, that's allowing it to happen. A
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: lot of times those people are just as guilty. You've
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: seen something and never said say something. Now I've seen it, Well,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: how come you to say it? Then you could save
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: that person, help that person. So when we see things
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: like that, that's why I always feel like it's good
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: to talk about things where people understand, because a lot
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: of people don't understand the industry. They just see the
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: gold and the glisten of the cars, the mansions, the jewelry,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the clothes. They'll be like, this is what I want.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: But a lot of times they don't know how that happened,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: So when you hear the all real days and the
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: you know, the d Woods talking, how did that make
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: y'all feel?
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: I mean for me, I just said, and I really
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: didn't know, you know what I'm saying. For us to
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: be so close with them, for us to be so
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: close with them and experience so much with them, to
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: not know that they was experiencing those kind of things,
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: that kind of that was weird to me because I
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: had literally never heard nothing like that about any of
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: them while we were there. Now, we experienced some of
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: the stuff with him, you know, firing them and all
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: of that stuff, but as far as like you know,
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: the stuff that that the Woods and then we're talking
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: about like body shaming and that other things like with
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: Sarah talking about talk about it was to me, everybody,
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: that's what I'm talking about, anybody, But it was further.
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: It was further than that, like she went, like Sia
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: Stokes was talking about how he touched her in appropriately.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: You those kind of things like that.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: I never really experienced those and I've never seen them
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: act that kind of way.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: But that could be their mask or their shield.
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying it, but I'm just saying, as they brothers,
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: they never they never disclosed those kind of things with.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Us, and the sad thing when men, but you kN
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: y'all brother was going through something.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: Not at that time.
• 41:26
  Speaker 10: So when when he ended up coming back to the group,
• 41:28
  Speaker 10: and that's when we started to understand things was different
• 41:30
  Speaker 10: and seeing a different walk and.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Understand I let it.
• 41:33
  Speaker 13: I want to sing background for Dirty Month right he was.
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: On stage with them on the news at time.
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: I was like, I was looking at the news, like,
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: why is my group remember singing backgrounds?
• 41:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah, so he stuck around a little bit longer inside
• 41:44
  Speaker 10: of that that that formula versus us leaving and doing
• 41:47
  Speaker 10: atlantic thing and trying to figure that out. So when
• 41:49
  Speaker 10: he got back, we did notice different things or whatever.
• 41:51
  Speaker 10: But yeah, he's a lot better right now, a lot better.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I would say things are changed because when men deal
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: with things, it's usually funny at firs, right, no matter
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: what it is, like, you know, I'm not putting you
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: stuff out there. But Charlomage talks about the time when
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: he was a kid. That's something happened to him. And
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: the first reaction when he tells that story, people laugh.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Sorry about you. And when Clo first taught you how
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: to d J, I laugh about that too.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: There's nothing there.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: When first thought about the DJ, he was standing at
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: the bus stop sucking on a lot of Popca.
• 42:30
  Speaker 11: In a nice car, and you was like, damn nothing
• 42:32
  Speaker 11: nice car.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: And when you was little, he was around your sisters
• 42:41
  Speaker 9: in the room.
• 42:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and a new audition popped up on the TV
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: and showing me was like.
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: Michael, is that nigga cute?
• 42:48
  Speaker 12: And about.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Sitting on Wendy Williams Black teaching you how the DJ
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: came up behind you.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: This is a good segue to ask you all about
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: freak off.
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna be honest, never I think the only time,
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: the only time we've got the door to a couple.
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: But we're blessed to be warned about a lot of
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: this stuff before we before we were ever an opportunity
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: off camera to be involved in it, so we already
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: knew what not to do where, you know, whatever the
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: case may be. I don't know what was exactly going
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: on in those things, but we were definitely warned not
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: to go a lot of people on the game.
• 43:43
  Speaker 11: Some man, it's a little birdie from the show from
• 43:47
  Speaker 11: back show and Jennifer.

  Speaker 11: Us a dancer it was like, stay away from the
• 43:56
  Speaker 11: red door.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: To us to stay away from the red door. So
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: that's yeah.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I would not want to go through what y'all went through.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Bro like that.
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: Who gave y'all the name day twenty six Who was that?
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: We did? We did?

  Speaker 1: Okay August.
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: No, the name came from us being selected on August
• 44:22
  Speaker 10: twenty six. So we just took that through the years,
• 44:24
  Speaker 10: you know. Yeah, we heard like okay, Yeah, it didn't
• 44:27
  Speaker 10: age well at some points because people were like, you know,
• 44:29
  Speaker 10: it does great now, but I'm saying, but at some
• 44:31
  Speaker 10: point we had people like, yeah, you've been.
• 44:33
  Speaker 11: Around for twenty sixth day, you know it a little bit.
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah, At the same time, it came from August twenty
• 44:38
  Speaker 10: sixth or somebody liked.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: The day that changed our lives. It's a day that
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: we will always.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Remember, whether it a blessing, our crystal blessing.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Honestly, man, man, I won't I won't even put put
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: nothing like negative on this man like, because I mean,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: God still he's still working on this.
• 44:57
  Speaker 10: And it was it was like a Curtains day because like,
• 44:59
  Speaker 10: you know, a lot of you know, we got a
• 45:03
  Speaker 10: lot of money with the blood, a lot of money,
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: you know, but at the same time, we still got
• 45:07
  Speaker 10: our passion, we still got our voices, we still got
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: our fans, we still got our uh to do for
• 45:12
  Speaker 10: our families. We're here, we're making a statement, so all
• 45:15
  Speaker 10: those things still matter, you know what I mean. So
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: that's why I would saying throughout all the curses that
• 45:18
  Speaker 10: could have been throughout the years, we ended in a
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: blessing for sure.
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: My last question, okay, so you got this album out now,
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: will y'all be touring?
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 45:29
  Speaker 9: And does did he recoup anything? Are no more not?
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Technically?
• 45:35
  Speaker 13: Did we talk about like our publisher.
• 45:37
  Speaker 11: Well, he still got our publishing from from those.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: He gives, didn't we got.
• 45:46
  Speaker 11: And he can give it to us now, you know,
• 45:49
  Speaker 11: you know, make the cause of it.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: But we do all the other money? How much?
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: Right now? His kids got all that money. His kids
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: name is mama.
• 46:00
  Speaker 11: Every time I say month, I'd be like man to.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: The public, to the publisher and his kids and mom.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: But at that time when he said I was giving
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: all my artists back there publishing.
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: He sat right here and said that we did.
• 46:14
  Speaker 11: Everybody bang, Yeah, he probably did something.
• 46:17
  Speaker 10: Then I was talking to Aurey during the time, and
• 46:19
  Speaker 10: she was telling me a lot of things. I guess
• 46:21
  Speaker 10: she had got off of the situation, and she was
• 46:23
  Speaker 10: saying how it wasn't worth it anyway.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: She signed scientif.
• 46:31
  Speaker 9: She got all day got thirty three dollars.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how much you think it's owned out of everything?
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Because I know young you guys figured it out with
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: accounts and all that.
• 46:44
  Speaker 13: How much you did?
• 46:44
  Speaker 11: You know what the thing is?
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: Even off the show alone, they made millions of had
• 46:52
  Speaker 10: to be like, you know, seventy the hundred.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 46:54
  Speaker 11: It was just it was a lot of money. We
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: just I mean, I don't know the exactly.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: We just is fifteen million.
• 47:02
  Speaker 14: Oh that's what that's what they told us.
• 47:06
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the first album we got.
• 47:08
  Speaker 11: We got first album.
• 47:10
  Speaker 12: That's yeah.
• 47:11
  Speaker 11: I got to say what you talking? I think, yeah,
• 47:13
  Speaker 11: you what you're saying. No, that's not correct.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: It made fourteen million, that's I'm I'm like fourteen million.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: Fourteen We didn't go you know, did You would say
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: we spent so much money on them, We put so
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: much into them, and we didn't.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Recoup back when we put in.
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: But I would disagree because our situation was tied with
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: MTV that was paying for so much stuff and for
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: the on their end anyway like that. It took so
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: much cost off a bad Boy in Atlantic that didn't
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: make no sense. So that makes no sense. That didn't
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: have Yes, they were, they weren't spending NOD As a
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: matter of fact, they were getting their budget from having
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: us own Bad Boy the sub label, you know what
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: I'm saying. So that's impossible for that to even be
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: business wise, y'all know business they don't go like so.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: Many people had their hand in the pot that probably
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: you didn't get no money in talking about MTV bad
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Boy in the scope Atlantic Atlantic.
• 48:17
  Speaker 14: Like everybody, the writers there, like everybody that signed up,
• 48:21
  Speaker 14: like they got they rich right now, Yeah, he might
• 48:23
  Speaker 14: have owned somebody to favor of something. They got theirs
• 48:25
  Speaker 14: out of you know, whatever it was. But we knew
• 48:26
  Speaker 14: what it was signing into, at least I did, and
• 48:29
  Speaker 14: we had to sign.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: So what did he change the publisher? Because it wasn't
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: in his kids name at first?
• 48:32
  Speaker 11: Right, No, it was always that was it from the jump.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: From the jump. It was from the so he already
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: knew what which I mean, I get it.
• 48:39
  Speaker 10: He a father and he got kids because but at
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: the same time, don't erase money.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I'm a father and I got.
• 48:46
  Speaker 12: And that's why it comes down because I'm.
• 48:47
  Speaker 10: A father and a kid and now we want to,
• 48:51
  Speaker 10: you know, be able to do for children the same way,
• 48:53
  Speaker 10: you know.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: What I mean.
• 48:54
  Speaker 11: So give me my money.
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: That's all I care about with the whole Diddy thing. Man,
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: I just want my money, bro, I just want my
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: mon I want what I'm worth, the albums that we
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: sold and the way I should be living. And I
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: don't want to see your kids rolling around the car
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: better than mine.
• 49:07
  Speaker 11: I mean.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: All my stuff.
• 49:11
  Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: That's just weird. Have you even had that conversation and
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: justify that with somebody? They're just weird?
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: You know, You're coming a whole different way like that.

• 49:36
  Speaker 10: one writer, one producer.
• 49:38

• 49:45
  Speaker 10: just one body of work, you know, one produce that

• 50:03
  Speaker 3: have taking the rock y'all took?
