5:29
SPEAKER_02: Like, that's it.
5:30

6:17
SPEAKER_00: I can't, I can't, like you say, you don't even know what it is, but it's that energy.
6:21
SPEAKER_00: We'd be in a pool in the middle of the pool, and then you have the staff from the pool who just join us because this man is delivering this special type of energy.
6:30
SPEAKER_00: It's crazy, man.

6:35
SPEAKER_02: You always been like that?
6:36
SPEAKER_04: Like Yeah, yeah, yeah.
6:37
SPEAKER_04: From from a child.
6:38
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
6:39
SPEAKER_04: Two years old.
6:40
SPEAKER_04: I've I've been on the stage since I was two.
6:42
SPEAKER_04: Um I went to private school.
6:44
SPEAKER_04: Um, so I was into religion early.
6:47
SPEAKER_04: That's where I got my consciousness from.
6:50
SPEAKER_04: Um went to private school all the way up to like to the highest level because they cut off like at eighth, no, like tenth grade, when I had to transfer over and go to public school.
7:01
SPEAKER_04: Now that's where I got my rude awakening because in private school we was in one class all day.
7:08
SPEAKER_04: So that's where we learned math, science, history, social study, all that, right?
7:13
SPEAKER_04: So when I transferred over and went to public school, that's when we you had to learn like accountability, be on time, first hour, second hour, third hour, fourth hour, fifth hour.
7:24
SPEAKER_04: I was late halftime out.
7:25
SPEAKER_04: I was a whole train wreck.
7:27
SPEAKER_04: So in private school, I was used to getting a certain amount It was structure.
7:33
SPEAKER_04: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
7:35
SPEAKER_04: So so that's what happened then, but I've always been like that.
7:38
SPEAKER_04: I just think I came into finding out who I was early.
7:43
SPEAKER_04: A lot of people, it takes them a long time to figure out who they are in life.
7:48
SPEAKER_04: You feel me?
7:49
SPEAKER_04: Um, and I've always been stuck with what I'm doing now.
7:52
SPEAKER_04: The biggest joy is making other people smile, finding out themselves.
7:56
SPEAKER_04: I have a saying, if you don't feed the wolves, you'll end up on the menu.
8:01
SPEAKER_01: So, so going back, since we're in those days, how did you get how did you get your start?
8:05
SPEAKER_01: Like, you know what I'm saying?
8:06
SPEAKER_01: What was the thing that made you go, you know what?
8:07
SPEAKER_01: I want to focus on music, I want to entertain, I want to be DJ, I want to be on the mic, I want to do all of this stuff.
8:13
SPEAKER_01: So, so you remember the brick dancing and the turbo and all that stuff there?
8:18
SPEAKER_04: Like, yeah.
8:19
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
8:19
SPEAKER_04: Like, yeah, my brother was a um a break dancer.
8:24
SPEAKER_04: And so I looked up to my brother, um, his name is E.T.
8:28
SPEAKER_04: E.T.
8:28
SPEAKER_04: looks like we eight years apart, but he was my big brother, my protector.
8:33
SPEAKER_04: And they used to go and dance and do the dance battles.
8:35
SPEAKER_04: Um turbo, ozone, break-in, you know, all of that stuff.
8:42
SPEAKER_04: Like that was the inspiration for them.
8:44
SPEAKER_04: And then my brother would teach me, and I would steal his moves, and and I would go out and start the battles, and then be like, you know, if the guys got too too tough for me, I'm going to get big brother.
8:54
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
8:58
SPEAKER_05: That's cool.
8:58
SPEAKER_04: Hey, sometimes you just get beat up too.
9:00
SPEAKER_04: I used to I used to get beat up when I was little, right?
9:02
SPEAKER_04: So when they beat me up, I go get big brother.
9:04
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
9:05
SPEAKER_04: But it all came from the battle, and and and I just learned, it's a lot of stuff I learned early on, and I knew that people initially, they're they don't they don't have the courage to step out on faith early.
9:21
SPEAKER_04: So I credit that to going to private school and and then learning that.
9:24
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
9:25
SPEAKER_04: Learning that early.
9:27
SPEAKER_04: And then just leave with love, man.
9:29
SPEAKER_04: I'm the type of teacher to give you an A on the first day of school.
9:32
SPEAKER_04: When I meet people, shake.
9:35
SPEAKER_04: But do you know that that is the hardest grading system?
9:39
SPEAKER_04: Because you don't know what the fuck you did to get the A.
9:42
SPEAKER_04: Right.
9:42
SPEAKER_04: And that's the hardest shit to keep.
9:45
SPEAKER_04: That's how I do my relationships.
9:47
SPEAKER_04: My relationships is like.
9:48
SPEAKER_04: Got it.
9:49
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, you lead with love and you let that person set the tone for.
9:53
SPEAKER_01: You know what?
9:54
SPEAKER_01: That's actually, that's actually, I've never really thought about it like that.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: Instead of you, like, when you meet somebody, you kind of like start a bridge where you gotta almost have them earn your trust.
10:04
SPEAKER_01: But like you're saying, if you lead with that and you could watch them deteriorate that trust, that actually tells you tells you a better idea of what that person is.
10:12
SPEAKER_01: That's actually a gem right there.
10:13
SPEAKER_01: I never even thought about that.
10:15
SPEAKER_02: So they start with a hundred and then you just yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:21
SPEAKER_04: I let people do what they want to do, so they show me what they rather do.
10:25
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
10:28
SPEAKER_03: Good job, baby.
10:30
SPEAKER_03: Good job.
10:30
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
10:31
SPEAKER_02: And I will say, baby, you can tell, because like we all said, you went to the room and this, that, and the third.
10:36
SPEAKER_02: And like, like, and and even if you're down, we can't tell.
10:40
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, we don't have we don't have bad days, man.
10:42
SPEAKER_04: I might have a bad moment.
10:43
SPEAKER_04: Right, okay.
10:44
SPEAKER_04: I might have a bad moment when I'm disappointed about something where I thought this was gonna be that, and then that didn't go out.
10:50
SPEAKER_04: Like, ah shit.
10:51
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
10:52
SPEAKER_04: But you know what?
10:52
SPEAKER_04: Maybe it's my fault because I held them too high.
10:55
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
10:55
SPEAKER_04: I put them on a pedestal.
10:57
SPEAKER_04: So um, like some of the biggest disappointments is being disappointed because you wanted the best for this person, and and you find out that they didn't want it.
11:05
SPEAKER_04: It didn't turn out that way, right?
11:07
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
11:08
SPEAKER_04: So, you know, the the biggest, and I'm gonna tell y'all this here, and I'm being transparent as fuck.
11:14
SPEAKER_04: The heavy hitters are a fucking, it's a brotherhood that I didn't even know I needed and I wanted it.

15:27
SPEAKER_04: It was always about bringing light and seizing the moment of, you know what I'm saying, capturing the opportunity.
15:33
SPEAKER_04: So, and and enough, and enough remembered that.
15:35
SPEAKER_04: The picture was good enough for me.
15:37
SPEAKER_04: I go back to Shreeport.
15:39
SPEAKER_04: That's it.
15:41
SPEAKER_04: Radio happened.
15:43
SPEAKER_04: I used to do a lot of parties, pool parties.
15:46
SPEAKER_04: Like before it was even cool to do pool parties.
15:49
SPEAKER_04: They didn't even have policies where we could be around pools.
15:53
SPEAKER_04: We used to go and cut the chains off of the um the public pools.
15:58
SPEAKER_04: And on Sundays, you know, was no staff.
16:02
SPEAKER_04: I was cool with the lifeguards.
16:03
SPEAKER_04: They used to cut the chains off the gates.
16:05
SPEAKER_04: So on Sundays, wasn't nobody in office, wasn't nobody in the government to shut the shit down.
16:11
SPEAKER_04: It was all off.
16:13
SPEAKER_04: And the funny part about the shit, we used to hide a security.
16:18
SPEAKER_04: So I had a legitimate illegal business that the sheriffs the police department, all of them used to come and work.
16:25
SPEAKER_04: But it really wouldn't work.
16:27
SPEAKER_04: Because they was enjoying themselves in the scenery too.
16:30
SPEAKER_04: Right.
16:31
SPEAKER_04: So before all of that, that's what we did.
16:33
SPEAKER_04: And then that landed me into radio.
16:37
SPEAKER_04: And I and I came on as a sidekick because I knew all of the hood celebrities, the people, you know what I'm saying?
16:43
SPEAKER_04: So my job was to just shout people out.
16:46
SPEAKER_04: You know how much, y'all know how big an impact, you know, a damn shout out was.
16:50
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
16:50
SPEAKER_04: Hell yeah.
16:51
SPEAKER_04: Hell yeah.
16:52
SPEAKER_04: Yo, DJ Camelo over there on the west side, boy, I see you cooking.
16:57
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
16:59
SPEAKER_04: DJ, enough out there.
17:00
SPEAKER_04: I don't know what he's doing, right?
17:01
SPEAKER_04: And everybody would, yo, I heard you say my name on the radio.
17:05
SPEAKER_04: The parties.
17:06
SPEAKER_04: And then that's what my job was.
17:08
SPEAKER_04: And I came on my OG as the sidekick man.
17:11
SPEAKER_04: Nah, you're crazy, bro.
17:12
SPEAKER_00: So I want to connect the dots.
17:14
SPEAKER_00: So the heavy hitter, the heavy hitter happened when?
17:16
SPEAKER_00: So, like, enough.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: You said Renee.
17:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Renee was the radar.
17:21
SPEAKER_03: Renee from G Union was the one that introduced me to him.
17:23
SPEAKER_03: I mean, we could have been before, prior, but.
17:27
SPEAKER_03: I think Renee was the one who put me on to him.
17:29
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was years later after I met enough and got the picture in the elevator, that that I got a phone call.
17:35
SPEAKER_04: Renee came down and I wrote Renee around Shreeput.
17:41
SPEAKER_04: And he seemed like everywhere we went.
17:43
SPEAKER_00: Different.
17:43
unknown: Yeah.
17:44
SPEAKER_04: You were the mayor.
17:45
SPEAKER_04: You were basically the mayor of Shrip.
17:46
SPEAKER_04: There you go, Cast one.
17:47
SPEAKER_04: Like, it was the mayor.
17:48
SPEAKER_04: It was just the impact that I've had on.
17:50
SPEAKER_04: And when I look back at it, I'll be like, damn, how do I have a personal relationship with damn near everybody?
17:56
SPEAKER_04: Everybody has some type of, some type of interaction with me that we all, you know, we juggle our memory and we like, damn, I did do that.
18:04
SPEAKER_04: I did.
18:05
SPEAKER_04: I did.
18:05
SPEAKER_04: It's because, you know, you walk around, you leave with love, and you don't ever have to look back.
18:09
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
18:10
SPEAKER_04: You're impacting people like that.
18:11
SPEAKER_04: So Renee came down, wrote him around, and he went to the club with me.
18:16
SPEAKER_04: And when he went to the club with me, that's when he saw the magic.
18:20
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
18:21
SPEAKER_04: The chemistry between me and a DJ.
18:24
SPEAKER_04: Like, my DJ didn't necessarily talk, but he didn't talk.
18:31
SPEAKER_04: I was, I had learned how to believe it or not, I was shy that a motherfucker.
18:39
SPEAKER_04: No, no.
18:40
SPEAKER_04: Get out of here.
18:41
SPEAKER_04: You lying, bro.
18:42
SPEAKER_04: Shit, let me give my goddamn band director.
18:44
SPEAKER_04: I don't believe you.
18:46
SPEAKER_04: So I could dance real good, right?
18:48
SPEAKER_04: I could do, I could dance real good, and I used to go in and teach the band um choreography.
18:54
SPEAKER_04: One day the announcer got sick.
18:56
SPEAKER_04: 1996.
18:58
SPEAKER_04: He got sick.
18:59
SPEAKER_04: Couldn't announce.
19:01
SPEAKER_04: My band director said, hey, the announcer is out.
19:05
SPEAKER_04: Um so I need you to be the announcer for the the shit.
19:13
SPEAKER_04: I was shaking like a pair of dice.
19:17
SPEAKER_04: Because if you know anything about bands, I don't know, like, you know, in the South, the first part of the show is like a six-minute show.
19:24
SPEAKER_04: The first three minutes is all corporate.
19:26
SPEAKER_04: And now for your feature presentation, the Fat Park Heights Marching Band marching at 150,000 miles an hour.
19:32
SPEAKER_04: You know, it was, it was like that.
19:33
SPEAKER_04: And I was like, I am not that motherfucker, right?
19:37
SPEAKER_04: So that I I didn't think I had the professionalism to do it.
19:40
SPEAKER_04: So I had to go.
19:41
SPEAKER_04: He put me on the spot, he gave me a couple of days in advance, and I had to go and I had to, man, I had to, you know, I I I don't know where the fuck I got it from, but I used to write and I was nervous as fuck.
19:51
SPEAKER_04: And then he put me in the goddamn, in the booth, in the press box, in the big stadium.
19:56
SPEAKER_04: And so now I'm sitting there, and now.
19:59
SPEAKER_04: No, I'm coming on like, all right, all right, all right.
20:05
SPEAKER_04: Everything is going to be alright.
20:09
SPEAKER_04: Ladies and gentlemen, and now for your priest and feast today, you know what I'm saying?
20:12
SPEAKER_04: The Fat Park High School marching band.
20:14
SPEAKER_04: The band is under direction of Mr.
20:16
SPEAKER_04: Cleveland White, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
20:17
SPEAKER_04: But I had written all that shit down.
20:19
SPEAKER_04: That's the first three minutes.
20:21
SPEAKER_04: Once I got through that professional part of it, it is ghetto central, baby.
20:24
SPEAKER_04: And now it's like this motherfucker.
20:27
SPEAKER_04: Hey, and they wasn't used to hearing that.
20:31
SPEAKER_04: This shit is before you ever seen, I don't know what y'all seen.
20:36
SPEAKER_04: Let me not, because that's the fuck up the part we do.
20:38
SPEAKER_04: We always say, I'm the first person to do it.
20:40
SPEAKER_04: And it could have been a guy in goddamn New York doing this shit.
20:44
SPEAKER_04: But in the South, it was not nobody with personality coming on that microphone coordinating voice with what they were doing.
20:55
SPEAKER_04: So after those seasons, a marching season, then we go into what they call battle of the band season.
21:03
SPEAKER_04: So the press box PA system is normally bullshit.
21:08
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
21:08
SPEAKER_04: When they build a stadium, they don't never invest into the PA systems, right?
21:13
SPEAKER_04: Sound like popcorn.
21:17
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:18
SPEAKER_04: Now you got to hear me.
21:19
SPEAKER_04: That's what my band director told me.
21:21
SPEAKER_04: No, son, they got to hear you.
21:24
SPEAKER_04: So they had the big, there was this other band called Faraday.
21:27
SPEAKER_04: They used to cheat.
21:28
SPEAKER_04: They had the big ass speakers.
21:29
SPEAKER_04: Two tops, two bottoms on the bottom.
21:31
SPEAKER_04: Now they now they would have six tops.
21:33
SPEAKER_04: So when they banned, they would have the PAs on and the shit sounded like it was magnified.
21:38
SPEAKER_04: And so now in the South, it was like, damn, they loud.
21:42
SPEAKER_04: But it's because they were they had the microphones on and the shit, and it was coming through the PA system.
21:46
SPEAKER_04: So they asked, they said, Hey, can can I announce or use the PA system?
21:52
SPEAKER_04: It's like, yeah.
21:53
SPEAKER_04: So they put me on the field.
21:55
SPEAKER_05: Uh uh.
21:56
SPEAKER_05: Showtime.
21:58
SPEAKER_04: Show time.
21:58
SPEAKER_04: You can see what this is going on.
22:00
SPEAKER_04: Right.
22:01
SPEAKER_04: Showtime.
22:02
SPEAKER_04: They didn't know what the fuck I was gonna do.
22:06
SPEAKER_04: But when they got a chance to see Bay Bay on the sideline coordinating, it was a comedy show before the bands even went on the field.
22:18
SPEAKER_04: Setting the tone.
22:19
SPEAKER_04: I look around and see somebody walking to the stand.
22:22
SPEAKER_04: Thank you for uh joining us today, uh ladies and gentlemen.
22:24
SPEAKER_04: She is fashionably late.
22:26
SPEAKER_04: And everybody will bust out laughing.
22:28
SPEAKER_04: But I'm talking about somebody in the crowd.
22:31
SPEAKER_04: So it's the pre-workout, and the band is lining up to get on the field, and they got a whole little comedy show.
22:36
SPEAKER_04: I'm not roasting people, but I'm highlighting people, and they're getting familiar with me.
22:41
SPEAKER_04: This is in 1994, 95, 96.
22:46
SPEAKER_04: That's where my original start came from.
22:48
SPEAKER_04: My band director put me on.
22:49
SPEAKER_04: That's hard.
22:50
SPEAKER_04: I'm OG, not my big homie.
22:52
SPEAKER_04: He put me in front of thousands in 1994, 95, 96.
22:58
SPEAKER_04: Thank, thank God for the guy who got sick.
23:02
SPEAKER_04: Hey, man, he was at the right place.
23:05
SPEAKER_04: That's it.
23:05
SPEAKER_04: Yes, yes.
23:06
SPEAKER_04: So my band director always believed in me, Mr.
23:08
SPEAKER_04: Cleveland White.
23:10
SPEAKER_04: He the one, I didn't even know how to play an instrument.
23:12
SPEAKER_04: I'm Nick Cannon on Drumline before Nick Cannon on Drumline.
23:15
SPEAKER_04: Talk about it.
23:17
SPEAKER_04: I didn't know how to read music.
23:19
SPEAKER_04: He taught me after marching season in 1991, January, February, March of my senior year, of my junior year, he taught me how to play the baritone.
23:34
SPEAKER_04: Wow.
23:35
SPEAKER_04: Wow.
23:36
SPEAKER_04: All right, baby.
23:38
SPEAKER_04: He made me try out for drum major because he said I had the leadership.
23:41
SPEAKER_04: So he saw it before I saw it, right?
23:44
SPEAKER_04: He put me in front of the band and said he's gonna be the first drum major that don't know how to play an instrument.
23:50
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
23:51
SPEAKER_01: That's crazy.
23:52
SPEAKER_04: I'm in front of the band directing them on some shit that I don't even know what the fuck, if they off, if they're playing it right, I'm just playing it off.
23:58
SPEAKER_04: He's like, I'm just directing.
24:00
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
24:01
SPEAKER_04: So concert season, he taught me how to play baritone, and that's where I got my musical, my ear from.
24:09
SPEAKER_04: Knowing pitches and knowing like what makes you feel good, the dancing, all of that.
24:13
SPEAKER_04: That's how I'm able to feel when music makes you feel a certain way.
24:19
SPEAKER_04: You can put on some shit right now, and my body would just go to that.
24:26
SPEAKER_04: Fuck with that.
24:27
SPEAKER_04: Mixed with leading with love.
24:29
SPEAKER_04: Right.
24:30
SPEAKER_04: Mixing with leading with love and the vibes, then you have Baby.
24:36
SPEAKER_04: That ain't me.
24:36
SPEAKER_04: That ain't me neither.
24:39
SPEAKER_04: That's Monty B calling me.
24:44
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yes, to heavy hear the vibe, right?
24:46
SPEAKER_04: But that's where the ear comes from.
24:48
SPEAKER_04: That's where the feeling comes from.
24:50
SPEAKER_04: That's when I learned that there's no such thing as hit records, right?
24:55
SPEAKER_04: I can tell you when it's a hit.
24:57
SPEAKER_04: Nah, I could tell you what that motherfucker make me feel like.
25:02
SPEAKER_04: And if it make me feel like something, that's the first sign.
25:07
SPEAKER_05: Right.
25:07
SPEAKER_04: If all of us is in here doing this shit right here, right now, nine times out of ten, it's gonna make 30 more motherfuckers do the same thing.
25:14
SPEAKER_04: 100%.
25:16
SPEAKER_04: The DJs were the influencers.
25:18
SPEAKER_04: So if you seen DJ enough doing this and Boogs doing this, guess what Babe started doing?
25:22
SPEAKER_04: Mm-hmm.
25:23
SPEAKER_04: Mm-hmm.
25:25
SPEAKER_04: I was the influence.
25:27
SPEAKER_04: So that's where Camelo and your other guys would want to get that new shit from the studio to the radio first to put their the ugly face.
25:40
SPEAKER_02: So put the influence on it.
25:43
SPEAKER_02: So, baby, you realize I got this energy, I got this influence, I could control all this.
25:47
SPEAKER_02: And then you just you put that same play kind of from the field to the radio, to the clubs, etc.
25:52
SPEAKER_02: And then you already, but you knew already.
25:54
SPEAKER_02: You knew I got some shit.
25:57
SPEAKER_02: You knew I got some shit, and I'm gonna put it here and over there.
26:00
SPEAKER_04: I've been knew I had influence and power.
26:04
SPEAKER_04: The thing about influence and power is knowing when and when not to use it.
26:09
SPEAKER_04: And don't abuse it.
26:11
SPEAKER_04: Right.
26:11
SPEAKER_04: Facts.
26:12
SPEAKER_04: You feel me?
26:13
SPEAKER_04: Like, I've been knew, like, don't mistake my confidence for arrogance.
26:17
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
26:18
SPEAKER_04: It don't cost you shit to keep it silent.
26:20
SPEAKER_04: I just left the bank.
26:21
SPEAKER_04: Shit.
26:22
SPEAKER_04: Print that.
26:24
SPEAKER_04: So, so my ego is not my worst amigo.
26:29
SPEAKER_04: I love that.
26:30
SPEAKER_04: I ain't no rookie, that's why they booked me.
26:33
SPEAKER_04: What lighters bro?
26:35
SPEAKER_04: I love this guy, man.
26:37
SPEAKER_04: I love this guy.
26:39
SPEAKER_04: But that's that's what happened.
26:40
SPEAKER_04: And so from the band, it got so it got so unfair that even though we used to go to compete, battle of the bands, I would be on the microphone and be so arrogant and say, we're not even competing.
26:55
SPEAKER_04: Ladies and gentlemen, we're the special guests, and we really was competing.
26:59
SPEAKER_04: Because it was that unfair that the crowd would love us and then they would they would always come to see us to the point where my band director and the staff members would have to lie to them and tell them, nah, baby, he's he got a job.
27:10
SPEAKER_04: He's not coming with us this year.
27:12
SPEAKER_04: Because they wouldn't they wouldn't let me use the PA system, right?
27:17
SPEAKER_04: Oh man.
27:17
SPEAKER_04: It became so unfair to the other bands because we had a real show, and it's documented too.
27:23
SPEAKER_04: It's on it's on it's on um YouTube and stuff.
27:25
SPEAKER_04: Like they somebody caught it 1996.
27:27
SPEAKER_04: You know, you want to Google it and watch it, but that's what that was.
27:30
SPEAKER_04: And then, because, you know, my ratchetness messing with the girls at the school, you feel me?
27:37
SPEAKER_04: Like back then, that shit got too wild, and you know, just I elevated and I went on, and then I got recruited by um the exotic dance.
27:47
SPEAKER_04: I became an exotic dancer, which you may not know.
27:49
SPEAKER_04: Wait, what?
27:51
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, what?
27:51
SPEAKER_04: Wait a bread.
27:52
SPEAKER_04: Oh, it's not too crazy.
27:54
SPEAKER_01: Hold on.
27:54
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, listen.
27:55
SPEAKER_01: Listen, I need one.
27:57
SPEAKER_01: All right.
27:58
SPEAKER_01: All right, let's go.
27:59
SPEAKER_01: Let's see what happens.
28:00
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna get uncomfortable, but let's see what we happen.
28:02
SPEAKER_01: Right.
28:05
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, listen, guys, listen.
28:08
SPEAKER_04: I am a hustler.
28:09
SPEAKER_04: The dancing was all theater that I did not take.
28:14
SPEAKER_04: I didn't go to a class for it, but I just knew how to entertain.
28:18
SPEAKER_04: So I was a young guy, love to dance.
28:20
SPEAKER_04: I I got into the club when I was 15 years old.
28:22
SPEAKER_04: See, I graduated when I was 15.
28:25
SPEAKER_04: I was put up two years, you know.
28:27
SPEAKER_04: Not that I was just super duper smart, but I did well on my testing.
28:32
SPEAKER_04: So I never seen the first grade and I stayed in the second grade five months.
28:36
SPEAKER_04: So I went from kindergarten, first, third.
28:40
SPEAKER_00: It probably helped that you was going to private school and then you went to public school.
28:44
SPEAKER_00: It probably helped too.
28:45
SPEAKER_00: Because that was my situation.
28:47
unknown: Right.
28:48
SPEAKER_00: Six seven.
28:49
SPEAKER_00: Six, seven.
28:53
SPEAKER_04: Hey, so so that's what happened, right?
28:56
SPEAKER_04: And so I went into this club when I was 15 years old, and I just, you know, my brother, we used to dance, right?
29:00
SPEAKER_04: We used to look for the opportunity to get out there on the floor.
29:03
SPEAKER_04: Well, this was exotic dancer night.
29:05
SPEAKER_04: On a Wednesday night, it was called Wicked Wednesday.
29:08
SPEAKER_04: This is when ladies used to, we'd just be happy to see them in a miniskirt.
29:11
SPEAKER_04: Remember those days?
29:12
SPEAKER_04: Right?
29:13
SPEAKER_04: So to see a woman in a thong, oh my God.
29:18
SPEAKER_04: Right?
29:19
SPEAKER_04: So the so for whatever reason, the this night, the show is delayed.
29:24
SPEAKER_04: Delayed 30 to 45 minutes.
29:25
SPEAKER_04: I don't know if one of the dancers didn't make it, but they needed some entertainment.
29:30
SPEAKER_04: And so Mystical, Here I Go, was my favorite song.
29:35
SPEAKER_04: Here you go.
29:36
SPEAKER_04: Here I go.
29:36
SPEAKER_04: Here I go.
29:39
SPEAKER_04: Guess what my job was in the club?
29:42
SPEAKER_04: The light man.
29:43
SPEAKER_04: Oh shit.
29:45
SPEAKER_04: Whenever the announcer would say, Baby, I mean, my name was Baby, I hit the light.
29:52
SPEAKER_04: That means that the dancer is about to come out.
29:55
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:55
SPEAKER_04: When the dancer gets to the middle of the dance floor, baby! The light goes back on, then we see it.
30:01
SPEAKER_04: Damn in the thong, right?
30:03
SPEAKER_04: So this night, the show got delayed.
30:06
SPEAKER_04: DJ back there, DJing, he knows that that's my song.
