• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I love music. I'm never gonna stop doing music as
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a whole because it's my first love. But it's definitely

  Speaker 1: everybody excited like gold Run the last time You're gonna
• 1:15

• 1:17
  Speaker 1: This is it three and a half years to do this,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: m Like emotionally it wiped me out, like I'm fighting
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: for more custody. I was in a relationship for five
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: years on the low and living together. Envy nos you
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Uh, Envy's wife used to talk
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to my girl. They were cool, hey, and it ended? Though,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: can your wife still talk to her? Are they still friends?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: That does that friendship? And always loyalty is to tyres? Okay,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: married women shouldn't talk to single women. It's true that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: conversation can get a little So why are you still there?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: That's though, because if they formed a friendship, shouldn't she
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: still be able to talk to her? I mean my
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: wife loyalties to trees? Okay, yeah, let's move on. So
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: five years, you know, I did some things that I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: was ashamed of. You know, nobody, we're all a work
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in progress, and and so that's where the inspiration behind
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the song shame came from. You know, it's not for
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: perfect people. It's not for people that think they so
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: far up the spiritual lot of they don't make mistakes.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It's a song about being honest and transparent and vulnerable.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: So for it to be number two on Billboard right
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: now in only six weeks, it's just the confirmation that
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: when you do things from your heart, it effects hearts.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So and it is a video actually that really matters,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: because I feel like a lot of videos nowadays aren't
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: really so important, but I think it really helps what
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the song is about. The visual that went along with
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Diazel Noel did it for the love Denzel believe in this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's actually a short film, so that's twenty five minutes long,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and Denzel is definitely on board. I mean, I got
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: phone calls about Edits and you know it's it's like
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: he's very involved, like you'll keep sending me the links
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: with the updated scenes and I think you should this
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that I mean them calls was very uncomfortable because you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to disappoint d you know what I'm saying.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But did you call him or he called you that? Yeah?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I called him. And also the casting person named Robbie
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Reid who did Malcolm X with them, and a bunch
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of other movies, got Denzel on board as well, so
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: then that was be in between movies. He doing videos. Well,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it's a movie, it's a short stem, you know what
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I mean. So that the condensed version of the Shame
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: video is about six and a half minutes long, but
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the short film in itself is twenty five minutes long,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: starring myself and Jennifer Hudson, directed by Paul Hunter. I'm
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: not allow, the said when I find out that you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: had the number. No, I'm in the country, I said,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a boy, they're letting the wrong person be number one independent.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Now that's not right, and you should be happy. Man,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I'm keeping dark skin on. You know. You know we're
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: darker than this. Mic man. You know what I'm saying.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay on. We're trying to take envy out.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You are getting brighter and brighter every time. When we
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: talk about that later, I was like this, I mean, Charlot,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: now you you caught some flag because you you you
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the dead homeless woman to promote dead homeless she was
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: not dead. Was like y'all sleeping on R and lady
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: she might not dead, she was not deep. It was
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: upset listen, let me just say this. I apologize for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: what what seems like it was insensitive and going too far. Um.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't really think about that before I did it,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I just was trying to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: make a point, and the point is right now, the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: state of R and B is dead. Most R and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: B singers are not conscious of it, but a lot
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of us are insecure and we feel like our songs
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: don't get attention, don't get no love on radio, don't
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: have any fans buying it anymore unless we got fifteen
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: rappers on it. You know what I'm saying. The state
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of R and B is insecure. So I just want
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to apologize to everybody. I don't have fifteen rappers on
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: my album for this Black Rose album to be number
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: one in fifteen countries, and it's straight R and B period.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: It's sending the right message. It's making a statement that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the fans are still out here. They want to support,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: they want to show up, you know what I mean.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Like for me, in my mind, it was never Marvin
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Gay featuring Curtis Blow. It was never Luta Vandro's featuring
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Run DMC. It was never Donnie Had the Way featuring
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: sugar Hill Game. It was pure R and B soul,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: no gimmicks, I ain't name dropping, produced by Pharrell, produced
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: by Listen. It's pure R and B period. So for
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it to be number one on R and B charts
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and the top two hundred with my album, it's a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: confirmation that R and B is turning that corner. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I think you should have just caught yourself buying the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: lady something to eat. If you put don't came buying
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the homeless ladying. Well, no, here's the thing. I was
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: just making a statement. I didn't know she was homeless.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: She just looked like she was taking a nap. Was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: passed down. I'm saying, like, now people are like, oh,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you're taking advantage the woman is home. I didn't know
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: she was home. I thought she look it was a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: shaded area, there was other people sleeping in the area.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: It was not necessarily a homeless area. And I was like,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: she's taking a nap. So guess what, I want to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: make a point. I feel like people are sleeping on
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: R and B. That was the only point. It wasn't
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: about taking advantage of nothing. That's not what I do.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I apologize for anybody that I made feel a certain
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: kind of way because of that moment. And if I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: ran into the woman, I put a couple hundred dollars under.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: But if there's anybody else that you know, want to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: come at me about it, just come see me in
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the streets, hummy. I'm just playing. Now you're training promoting
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: an album on the train. Why did you do that?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: What was the idea behind that? Okay, So let me
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: just tell you what really happen. I've never told nobody, Okay.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I was running late to a live hit to do
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a radio interview, I mean TV interview. It was actually
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: with Roxy from you know, used to be on one
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: oh six. She on HLN, and I had a live
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: hit that I could miss. So the driver said, we're
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: gonna get there about the hour and twenty minutes with
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: this traffic y'all know New York traffic. I say, Yo,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: we gotta go take the train. Okay. So we end
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: up taking three trains, We went through Brooklyn, We did
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: what we had to do, and that's when the moment happened.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: There you go, see, And that's how I tell Envy

  Speaker 1: it's transparent, it's honest, it's vulnerable. Uh, it's it's my best,

• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and B album on Billboard, It's number one on the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: top two hundred. I'm just like, we're celebrating because instead
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of just mentioning statistics, it's a confirmation that they say
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: R and B fans are dead, they say nobody sells
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: R and B albums anymore. This whole time, I've been
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: doing interviews. As you can imagine, it's like, Okay, you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: got an R and B album, You're doing an interview.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: What could I say that can make people do what
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: they don't do anymore, which is by a full R
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and B album that doesn't have fifteen rappers on it,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: No antics, noe perks. I'm not twerking, I ain't dropping.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know nobody named name name. I'm sorry, but
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it comes from a different place from what I don't.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know nobody name, name name, which it comes
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: from a different place. See, most artists have to conform
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to the industry because they got to pay their bills.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You're coming from a place of doing it from the heart.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: You got to pay your bills, so you can go
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in your backyard, but finish the hookah louns by the way, yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: stay out my back yard. My goodness. All I'm saying
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: is all I'm saying is R and B singers that
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: are specifically an R and B. We've had to convert
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: into doing house and techno. We've had to have our
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: albums compromise with a bunch of rappers on it just
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to get any kind of attention. And love the fact
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: that this album is winning and it's just R and B.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's sending the right statement. I don't
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: want to be number one just for me. I'm number one.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I'm cool the fact that it's number one. The industry
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is like robots. They're gonna want to fall in line
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and it becomes the trend. This is oh, this is
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: what we're doing now. So all of the tworking and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: dropping is gonna be on pause, and the actual talented
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: people that's been on the shelves, they gonna finally had
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the albums to see the light of day. I'm talking
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: about past favorite R and B singers, R and B
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: singers that are current and the ones that have yet
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to be discovered. And then for me, I'm sending this
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: as a message to radio. I had a song called Stay.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Envy knows all about it right. Stay was number one
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: for eleven weeks on Billboard. Sam Smith had a song
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: called Stay. Sam Smith's song had a full choir on it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Sam Smith's record was played on all formats radio, Top forty, rhythmic, crossover.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: He's got an urban right now. Sam Smith ain't step
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: foot into any of these urban radio stations, but yet
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: urban radio is going all out supporting it. If you
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: want a radio spend, you gotta do so much. Radio
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: promo was out of control, Meet and greets, interviews, you
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: gotta call in, you gotta do something now. I'm not
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: attacking Sam Smith. I'm not competitive. This is not ego,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: no nothing. I'm talking about facts because you're talking about money.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Now I can tell my truth. I ain't got to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: be politically correct. I think right now it's time to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: be more fair. If we showing love on urban radio
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to Robin Thick, justin Timberlake and Sam Smith who's singing
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: R and B soul, and I'm a fan, that it
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: needs to work on both sides. Don't tell me I'm
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: number one on R and B and urban ac and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: urban mainstream, but yet I'm number one for eleven weeks,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But yet top forty rhythmic and crossover stations ain't playing
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: my music. Were showing love on both sides. You gotta
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: show love on both sides. The point I'm making is,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: don't say because you're black that only black people is
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: supposed to support you. My music has no limits, It
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: has no sexual preference, it has no racial barriers. So
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: if we're if they're singing R and B soul and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you're being supported on urban radio, I believe it should
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: go both ways. Don't limit my shop because my movies
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: ain't limited. You can't say that only black people know
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: me and support my music, because that's not true. You
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: can't say that if you go to a Stevie Wonder concert.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: It's only black people in the audience because he's black.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Like there's there's a lot of different forms of racism.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And guess what, y'all, here's this is what I want
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to say to pop radio. I'm not gonna convert. There's
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: no there's no house and techno version of shame coming.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna switch it up. I'm not gonna sing
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: shame with auto tune in my voice just for a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: radio spend. But I guarantee you if I show up,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the fans are gonna be there. They will be excited. Period.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So if if Stay by Sam Smith has a full
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: choir on it, if I sung that version of Stay,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: my joint would have been locked into urban radio and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I'd have probably been with your Linda Adams on the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: gospel channel Spread Love, don't forget WBLS. You definite would
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: have got that earlier. I'm just saying, man, at the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: end of the day, I'm putting this on blast. And
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: guess what, I don't have a racist bone in my body.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I'm out of homer Fold. I ain't got no issues.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not competitive. I just want music to have an
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: opportunity to reach his maximum audience. Don't limit me because
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of my skin, don't limit me because of what what
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: form of radio is supporting him? First listen, they may
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: start and popping rhythmic radio, but if urban radio recognize
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that they sing an R and B soul, we spread love.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: We don't say, oh, that's a white person. Let the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: white station support them, and they shouldn't be happening on
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the other side. I often wonder if the pop program
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: directors are paying attention the way to urban program director,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: because program directors tend to be more aware of all
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the music that's out there. I don't know if pop
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: program they do. Man, they do, they know, Bro, It's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: no way to stay was number one for eleven weeks.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Right now, my song Shame is number two on Billboard.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: It's no way they don't see that featuring Jennifer Hudson.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You can't tell me that only black people love Jennifer Hudson.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Stop playing with me. As soon as Obama come up
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: with any event, Jennifer is there, as soon as the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Oscars do any awards show, Jennifer is there. You're telling
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: me only black people at the Oscars. Man, I'm grown.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Stop playing with me, especially being. I like what you
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: said about how do they make you know? Black artists
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: jump through hoops? Man? Can I get a radio span?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: What do you want me to do? We're vulnerable because
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: without radio our voices aren't heard. So at the end
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: of the day, I ain't trying to start no ship.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just putting it out there. Those days is over
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: for me. Shane is number two on Billboard, and I'm asking,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: what's my man name? Uh? Come on, give me the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: name Ryan ccrest, Ryan Seacrest in the morning that you man,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Ryan Secret. We're about to go into Tyree's Shane featuring
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Hudson. Can I hear that at least one time?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Or do you need Robin Think to sing my song
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: in order for you to play damn it? Man? Can
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: come on, man, All I'm saying is this is my
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: last round. This is my last album. I don't want
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Shane that's being heavily support ordered by urban AC and
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: urban mainstream radio to be limited to a black man
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: singing to only black people. Them days is over, man.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I got fans named Becky on the record. There's album
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: talking on it. You're doing twenty years man, and you're
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: still putting out amazing records. This shouldn't be the last album.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that. But but he didn't say
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that he's not any more music. He's not saying he's
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: not doing any music. He playing out Album's twenty years
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: since he did the Coca Cola on the bus Man
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and he's still putting out records. I got this. There's
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of people. You know what if you die
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to make the records that you have and die to
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: be in your position right now, and you're saying this
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: is my last album, well, you know what, Listen, you're
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a dad. You gotta kid absolutely Okay, so you're a dad.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: We're still waiting on the homie to go ahead and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: shoot the club. We're still waiting on you to stop
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: playing in these straights. The good thing is about when
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: you when you're hosting, you know, you always stay far
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: away from that. So you could always be pregnant and said,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we're talking about that, lady, talk about that later. Let
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: me know. I'm having baby Mama auditions next week. And
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You know, you can get
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: me right with a number one album. I got a
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: number on now I got me another baby, that's it, baby,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: mama audition. I feel like, listen, man, I just want
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: this album and the success around this album to make
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a statement. And I can't say it enough. Urban or
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: AC radio, y'all have helped us to feed our families,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: pay our bills. You were able to tour like at
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the end of the day. Without radio, our music will
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: never have an audience. It will never have no reach.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I know social media's powerful and everybody's moving, but we're vulnerable. Man.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Every spin counts, everything counts. So oh, I mean, bro,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I'm off for an hour and a half asleep every day.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Yesterday I had an in store at FYE and they
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: called the ambulance. I almost did in the store. I
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: needed some oxygen. I didn't stop. I needed to quit
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: thirty minute break. I was there off an hour and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a half asleep. I'm drinking five hours and express so coffee.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I had to sit down for a minute. I'm sitting
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: there and the room started spinning. I'm like, Holy, this
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: ain't going to right. I needed a minute. Fully committed
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: to the process. I wasn't gonna let the fans down.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, look, I didn't pass out, and I'm definitely
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: not going out there to get into ambulance and make
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a scene. But that's what it is. You can't be
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: working as hard and saying that you're doing all this
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: as an urban artist, catering to the needs of urban
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to do what I gotta do to to
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: respark R and B like I got my cape on, baby,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to. I'm trying to. I'm trying to fly.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: But then, let me ask you a question. You you
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: do records like stay, and then you do records like shame,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and you preach positivity, and you preach being a great
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: man and great relationships, but then you f up in
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: your He admits that he's human, not human tyres can't
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: do that. You can't be a pat Are you saying
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: that to me? Yes, all, you're saying that to me,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: calling it the yellow. He's much blacker than me. Right now,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: put this in front of you, put this in front
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of your face. Let's talk about speak positivity and I
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: love it. A lot of people look up to you
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: as positivity. I was one that did and I still do.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: He used to mess up, Like how you tell me
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: be good, be better? You tell the world. I ain't
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: never heard you were perfect. I'm not perfect. And one
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: of the best thing the fact that how do you
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: avoid all these leg muscles out here when the clevelang
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: is right and you're sitting up trying to keep your focus?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: How do you do it? How do you do it?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm active? Listen, listen, let me just's real out here. Listen, listen.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I sing to that because I want that, and I
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: don't play on both sides. I'm right here right So
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'm trying my best.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Every day we're a work in projects. Guess what when
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a relationships ends, sometimes it's not always about cheating. Sometimes
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that woman is in a relationship and she's mentally and spiritually,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: emotionally bored because their man don't know how to intrigue her.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: So she's like running around desperate just to have a conversation.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: So my man ain't cheating. But if if it's gonna
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: stop me from being this board, go get something else.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Just come home and talk about it, talk to me.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: It's all kind of reasons that relationships end, and you
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: could find just sayf saying I'm ashamed of that. I'm
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: ashamed that I was playing video games, wearing cartoon characters
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: on my backpack wearing peppermint socks, caught up in cars,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: money and materialistic things, and my wife is at home
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: suffering and I didn't even know it. You could leave
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: your relationship and be ashamed of that. So at the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: end of the day, there's all kind of and guess what,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: let's put this out there that every time a relationship ends,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: it's not always demand. There's plenty of women out here
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: doing that they're ashamed of. I had nothing to do
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: with them. Ten relationships that you was in before we
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: got in a relationship. You didn't brought all of them heartbreaks, insecurities, issues,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: mental emotional and physical abuse into this brand new relationship.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Now I'm on the receiving end of all of them.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Ten dudes and dead do you so you should be
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: ashamed of yourself? Don't put it on me. Did I
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: ask your questions? But you have? But you have broken
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of hearts, as you said yourself, I have.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not. I'm not proud of them. Last
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: album Charlemagne. I'm sure. I'm so sure. If I would
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: have talked to your wife right there, she'll tell me.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I keep telling them to put the seat down on
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the toilet hill. I keep telling him when he takes
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: his last drivel pause, don't have it on the top
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of the seat, do it on the bottom of the seat.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. It's like, listen, man, here's the beautiful
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: thing about being a man and a woman. We're all
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a work in progress. Nobody's perfect. And this is what
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about just a little bit. Just the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: way you faced it was like you think about being
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: a man and a woman, just a little bit. That's
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. Really, I swear to god, it's just
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: about ratings right now, he's about Really the headline is
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: about to say, tyres, I'm not doing this. I swear
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to God, I'm about to walk about this. I'm not
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: doing it. So anyway, as a man and a woman,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and the pressence of thank you appreciate, sometimes you realize
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: that you're not perfect, we're working progress. My album is
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: not for perfect people. I'm going into honest topics. I'm
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: singing from the heart. I'm vulnerable, I'm honest. And here's
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the thing. It's not about album selves. It's not about
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: being number one and I'm missing I'm not that's for
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: people in the industry to stroke that ego. All of
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the success around this Black Rose album is to benefit
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the state of R and B. It's to highlight something
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that seems to be in the backseat right now. I'm
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: saying it to the Grammys. I want to win this year.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to win just because I want
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to give a speech. I want to win because this
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: is a real R and B album that deserves the Grammy.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to be in the pre telecast.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I don't want to give out my award before the
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: actual Grammy start. I don't want to be on billboards
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: as rappers and R and B singers promoting the Grammys,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: and then when you show up, they're given trophies to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: everybody that wasn't on the billboards straight up and down.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Don't have all of us creating that momentum for people
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to tune in and then you're giving out trophies there.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: But I think Steve Stou said that, like, at the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: end of the day, it's time to respark real interest
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and have the energy to go in the right direction.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about black I'm just saying in general,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: let's be more fair, let's be real, like I've already
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: talked about it, but come on, man, I don't limit me,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: don't limit my reach, don't limit my fan base, don't
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: don't stop people from falling in love with these songs.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: And don't make me think that because I'm not singing
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: house in techno and I'm not wearing tight ass pants
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and trying to be a crossover act specifically, that I
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: can't have my fans all across the board hearing my music, Like,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: come on, man, them days is over. Change subs a
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: little bit. You want Empire season two coming over? They said, Yes,

  Speaker 1: word I said. I think um today, it's a bunch
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: of pride and ego that stops a man from expressing
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: himself because he doesn't want to look thirsty, don't want
• 30:12

• 34:19
  Speaker 1: me more than all. My thing is, we're in a
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: day and age where we're amongst the lost generation. We
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: got so many people out here that are genusly talented,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: but they have no sense of direction. We got a
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: bunch of people, uninspired, unmotivated, trying to figure out how
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: do I get my life in my career to the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: next level without compromising my spirituality or my sexuality, without
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: feeling like I gotta go do something thirsty a sex
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: tape or this to that, just to get some buzz
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and attention to mirry of my career. And so I
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: just want to put this out there because there's a
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: million people watching this. Go get black rolls, But um um,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I want to just say this because it needs to
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: be said. I believe that this is the season for
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: good people to win. I believe that you can love
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: God not be out here doing things with antics and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: this and that just to get some attention and love
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: around your creativity and your career. And I also want
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to say this, it is not in everybody's cars to
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: be famous. It's not in every There is a such
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: thing as a billionaire that's on the train right now
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: and you don't even know who the hell he is,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: and he likes it, he likes or she likes just
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: being successful, wealthy, having private planes, living his life and
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: lifestyle and not be famous. So many people are focused
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: on fame. It's crazy, especially in this area. We come
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: from the era of being just want to be successful
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: and so different now, Oh my god, listen, I don't
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: wake up every day trying to figure out how to
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: be more famous. I'm the chairman and CEO of Voltron Entertainment.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: We got forty three projects that are in various different phases.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I got billionaires, edge funds, multi millionaires around the world,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: all communicating and rocking trying to figure out how the
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: way to bring these visions to life. And it ain't
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: about antics, man, Listen right now. The reason I want
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: this album to be successful as well is because I
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: want to be able to highlight love again. Like you're
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: not even on the cover of a magazine unless you're
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: about to file for divorce, like I feel like positive,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Like why can't you be married with a functioning relationship
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: with your kids that are smart and educated, not out
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: here being bullied or bullying, and have some attention to
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: be given to your marriage and your relationship. The devil
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: has been busy trying to highlight negativity and not spread
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: no love to positivity. So I'm just putting it out
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: there like, I'm not preaching. I don't want nobody to
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: be like, oh here we go. He think he listen? Man, man,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: shut up, shut up. You got a job to do
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: as a hater. I understand that you didn't create it
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: a user name and the passwords you could talk about
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: everybody's life and tear them down. I got that. Do
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: your job. Nobody wants to be unemployed. But it's very simple, man.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: This is the season for good people to win. This
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: is the season for people that wake up every day
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: with good and positive intention towards other people's lives to
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: finally win. It's confusing. Women are in school every day,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: single parent working, they ass off getting on the bus
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: and public transportation, trying to take care of their kids
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: and survive, and they feel like, Dan, what do I
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: gotta do a sex tape to finally get me as
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, to get some attention on some of the
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: sh I'm doing. I'm just tired, man, I'm tired. I'm
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: not frustrated, but I'm tired. And I felt like again, everybody,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: stay encouraged, stay on your path, and just know that
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: as a positive person who has not allowed this game
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: to compromise my spirituality or my sexuality. In order for
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: me to get on and keep winning, I'm gonna keep rocking.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: And when I win, you win, and I just want
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: us to win. Statement. The statement is this, if we're
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: trying to save R and B, it's not about the
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: album sales. I want to put this out there. If
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I wanted to make money, I wouldn't be in music.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I'm getting real money with all the others I'm doing,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: so for me to do music, I'm really trying to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: make a statement on behalf of R and B. Black Rose.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: My album is number one in thirteen countries. It's number
• 38:25

• 38:30
  Speaker 1: one R and B Top two hundred. Supporting this Black
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Rose album. Is you're helping me to make a statement.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: You tired all this ratchet shout here happening. Help me
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: to make a statement because the music industry and executives
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: are like robots. What's selling. Let's put our money into that.
• 38:48

• 38:51
  Speaker 1: back in business. Let's get talented people off of the
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: shelves and put them back on. That's it. So guess
• 38:59
