0:11
Speaker 4: Columbia, South Carolina, Angie eight O three rhymes.
0:16
Speaker 3: I like that.
0:17
Speaker 1: How are you?
0:18
Speaker 5: I'm good.
0:19
Speaker 3: I can't complain. You know I've been blasted for a
0:21
Speaker 3: long time in this business. You already know.
0:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, people, I don't think people realize that Angie's one
0:27
Speaker 4: of the Pine is a rap The Sequence your first.
0:31
Speaker 3: Female go yeah, the first female group period to do
0:35
Speaker 3: an original rap record, to do a rap record that
0:38
Speaker 3: gone up the world. We had our neighborhood rappers, we
0:41
Speaker 3: had our New York City rappers, but Sequence was the
0:44
Speaker 3: world's rappers. And I think people get it twisted.
0:47
Speaker 1: Funk funk it up with the song funk you up.
0:50
Speaker 3: Until you got that mixed that with Bruno, I ain't
0:52
Speaker 3: gonna go.
0:54
Speaker 1: Didn't he stample it well?
0:56
Speaker 3: What he did did an interpolation of it up to
1:01
Speaker 3: funk it up. We're gonna uptown funkus, funk you right
1:04
Speaker 3: on up. We're gonna funk you the same thing. Were
1:09
Speaker 3: getting paid no attention right now but guess what it's at. Yeah, well,
1:15
Speaker 3: my attorney went in and we tried to do some stuff,
1:18
Speaker 3: and of course, because there's three group members and I've
1:20
Speaker 3: been doing my thing for a minute, it kind of
1:23
Speaker 3: pulled the scenes at who's who's with who and who's
1:26
Speaker 3: down with And I just said, you know what, let
1:28
Speaker 3: it rest because we're getting a lot of negative slack
1:31
Speaker 3: because a lot of people that don't know about the
1:32
Speaker 3: sequence or that song. We getting a lot of negative
1:35
Speaker 3: flat because they're like, they don't sound nothing like it.
1:37
Speaker 3: I'm like, they don't understand the interpolation process and how
1:41
Speaker 3: you know. The reason we were upset because Bruno admitted
1:46
Speaker 3: that it was influenced by the sequence Wow, and he
1:50
Speaker 3: did that on Instagram and somebody snatched it down.
1:53
Speaker 6: Right, and people do interpolations so that they don't sample.
1:56
Speaker 5: So then they well, doctor d did keep your hands ringing?
1:59
Speaker 3: That was a direct rip from funk you up. They did.
2:02
Speaker 3: I mean, we wrote the song, we wrote the melody,
2:04
Speaker 3: wrote the chant, we added singing to hip hop, and
2:07
Speaker 3: now everybody's doing it. It's okay, And I think it's
2:10
Speaker 3: wrong for them to try to overlook us. We're from
2:13
Speaker 3: South Carolina. I mean, what did that go with? Nothing?
2:16
Speaker 1: So y'all ain't get paid from doctor drine e.
2:19
Speaker 3: Yes, we did, ok, but we had he admitted it.
2:24
Speaker 1: He had kept that post paid.
2:26
Speaker 6: But you know it's still there, everything that's been on it.
2:27
Speaker 3: Well, the beauty of it is they admitted it. But
2:31
Speaker 3: the minute the elephant is brought out of the closet,
2:35
Speaker 3: everybody runs because nobody wants to be labeled a thief.
2:37
Speaker 3: And we just say that. I'm very honored, and I
2:39
Speaker 3: got my girl blinding from the sequence here, just back.
2:44
Speaker 1: So excited.
2:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you know Snoop, I've worked with Snoop he did.
2:49
Speaker 3: I want to thank you along with me and Jazzy
2:51
Speaker 3: Fay back in the day. But he wants me to
2:53
Speaker 3: work with his daughter and he wants to work with
2:55
Speaker 3: my son. So we we have a kindred spirit. And
2:59
Speaker 3: l A hip hop was reminiscent to sequence Bunk, that
3:04
Speaker 3: whole funk era. So I just think overall people need
3:09
Speaker 3: to respect the fact that it is what it is.
3:13
Speaker 6: So both of your children are doing music. Pardon me,
3:15
Speaker 6: both of your children are doing music, all right. I
3:18
Speaker 6: guess it's in the blood. Like there was no getting
3:21
Speaker 6: around it.
3:21
Speaker 3: Well, both my kids' fathers I was with of course,
3:25
Speaker 3: you know, I was with Janzelo and then before that,
3:27
Speaker 3: I was with Little Rodney Sea from the Funky four
3:29
Speaker 3: plus one. More so, my daughter sings and my son raps.
3:32
Speaker 3: It kind of went this way.
3:35
Speaker 4: Do you think I think that you should be getting
3:37
Speaker 4: credit as a pioneer female rap Like I don't think that.
3:40
Speaker 1: Then y'all go gold.
3:41
Speaker 3: We went go. We were the first group to go
3:43
Speaker 3: go sell twelve inch records. That means twelve inch records.
3:46
Speaker 3: Along with the Sugar Hill Gang, toured the world pretty much.
3:51
Speaker 3: We never get the recognition, and of course you know
3:53
Speaker 3: that's probably platinum ten times over by now. But we
3:57
Speaker 3: don't get the recognition because I think the New York
4:00
Speaker 3: it's got a little salty because you know, we made
4:03
Speaker 3: it out of starting gates. I mean, it's like a race,
4:05
Speaker 3: a marathon race. You're doing the full forty relay, you
4:07
Speaker 3: passed the time, whoever you ended up at the finish line. Hey,
4:10
Speaker 3: it's fair game, you know what.
4:12
Speaker 2: Nobody knows the story because well, I'm in New York
4:14
Speaker 2: and is as deep a Miami as in hip hop.
4:17
Speaker 3: Maybe I know, you know, I really had no I
4:21
Speaker 3: had no clue what funk you up?
4:23
Speaker 4: No?
4:23
Speaker 2: I knew funk up, but I didn't know that Sequence.
4:25
Speaker 2: The Sequence was the first group that pretty much go
4:27
Speaker 2: gold but as a girl.
4:29
Speaker 3: But who did you think would go first? Oh? And
4:33
Speaker 3: we were ten, well ten fifteen years before them. There
4:37
Speaker 3: used to be a thing you probably wouldn't have to
4:38
Speaker 3: see the cash box called cash box and billboard. If
4:42
Speaker 3: you do your research, it's there. We were the first
4:47
Speaker 3: female group hip hop group period to make cash box
4:53
Speaker 3: and uh, Rolling Stone just did a big article on
4:55
Speaker 3: us because a lot of the people that were back
4:59
Speaker 3: then they knew, why are they getting any attention? And
5:04
Speaker 3: you know, I just think it's sad because a lot
5:06
Speaker 3: of the females hip hoppers. And I trust me, I
5:10
Speaker 3: love them all, big respect props. But learn he'll loves
5:14
Speaker 3: Andrew Stone because it's reminiscent to what she did with
5:19
Speaker 3: her group rap sing and that's what we did.
5:22
Speaker 5: And you guys are all still cool with each other.
5:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good.
5:25
Speaker 6: So it was never like a falling out with the
5:27
Speaker 6: group broke up? Who with Sequence?
5:30
Speaker 3: Oh? No, you know you girl group, you have your
5:33
Speaker 3: red peck moments, but we are sisters and at the
5:36
Speaker 3: end of the day. We love each other, we look
5:37
Speaker 3: out for each other, We got each other. We don't
5:39
Speaker 3: always agree, of course, I mean nobody always agrees. But
5:44
Speaker 3: I decided to leave the group early on because I
5:47
Speaker 3: moved to New York. I learned a lot of stuff
5:51
Speaker 3: about songwriting. I was a songwriter and a brother named
5:55
Speaker 3: Craig Darry who used to be with the Sugarhill Click,
5:58
Speaker 3: said you need to get out and go to New York.
5:59
Speaker 3: Here event blah blah. And I moved to New York
6:03
Speaker 3: and I learned a lot of stuff. Listen, I want.
6:06
Speaker 2: To start because this is a history lesson for a
6:07
Speaker 2: lot of myself. So you signed to Sugar Hill Gang.
6:10
Speaker 2: How did you get signed? How did you? First of all,
6:12
Speaker 2: how did you get into hip hop? How did you
6:14
Speaker 2: get signed? And how did you get your deal? Because
6:15
Speaker 2: it wasn't like before where now where it's internet is
6:18
Speaker 2: TV that's playing hip hop.
6:20
Speaker 3: Radio wasn't playing hip hop back then?
6:22
Speaker 1: How did you get into it? Yeah?
6:25
Speaker 3: Coming from Columbia, South Carolina and it was sixteen seventeen,
6:27
Speaker 3: eighteen years old, we had a group that was doing
6:31
Speaker 3: rap back then. Kington the Third was out and we
6:34
Speaker 3: wrote a song called funk you up. I think Sylvia
6:38
Speaker 3: Robinson came to South Carolina. It was the first leg
6:42
Speaker 3: of the first sugar Hill Game tour, the first show,
6:47
Speaker 3: the first city we happened to be in the concert.
6:52
Speaker 3: The road manager from sugar Hill Gang saw me and
6:55
Speaker 3: thought I was just pretty chocolate chick. How to come
6:58
Speaker 3: back second? So I said, well, if you let me in,
7:01
Speaker 3: you gotta let my friends in. So we all came in,
7:04
Speaker 3: got backstage. Sylvie was backstage and was literally on the
7:08
Speaker 3: stage and we said, hey, we wrap and she said, well,
7:12
Speaker 3: let me hear what you got on the side of the stage,
7:15
Speaker 3: and we went, funk you right on up, We're gonna
7:18
Speaker 3: funk you right and she flipped. She said, oh my god,
7:23
Speaker 3: oh my god. The next thing I know, we were
7:25
Speaker 3: sitting in the dressing room giving our phone numbers. She says,
7:29
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make you girls start now. We had already
7:32
Speaker 3: been a group, I mean at you know, being a cheerleader,
7:35
Speaker 3: seeing John some writing cheers and creating stuff like that
7:39
Speaker 3: was what we did. And she called us the very
7:43
Speaker 3: next week, Wow blew us to New Jersey off our.
7:48
Speaker 3: You know, we was talent show bound doing everything everybody did,
7:52
Speaker 3: but just in South Carolina and we cut the record
7:56
Speaker 3: Funk You Up, and a couple of weeks later I
7:59
Speaker 3: thank it. Three weeks record went golding through.
8:01
Speaker 2: Wow.
8:02
Speaker 1: Was it a fair deal or did they take advantage
8:05
Speaker 1: of y'all?
8:05
Speaker 3: Of course it took advantage. Well, we did have a lawyer,
8:12
Speaker 3: but he was a South Carolina lawyer. We thought we
8:18
Speaker 3: were doing the right thing. But you know, one thing
8:21
Speaker 3: I've learned in life is you have to have experience. Yes, Uh,
8:25
Speaker 3: Sylvie Robinson, I give him mad props because, quite contrary
8:29
Speaker 3: to what a lot of people think. You know, when
8:31
Speaker 3: you're the first at anything, you're gonna make mistakes. So
8:34
Speaker 3: I lean heavily to that because she did something phenomenal
8:40
Speaker 3: that turned out to be greatful a lot of people.
8:43
Speaker 3: But you had to have some crash jest.
8:46
Speaker 1: What did the stand power been like like?
8:47
Speaker 4: Transitioning from a hip hop artist to a R and
8:50
Speaker 4: B trio to a legendary soul singer.
8:52
Speaker 3: Like yeah, writer, well, I tell you the blessing For me,
8:57
Speaker 3: I'm as sage and I think out the box. One
9:00
Speaker 3: of the things I always hated was when I saw
9:03
Speaker 3: groups that were from the fifties and sixties in the
9:07
Speaker 3: seventies and eighties, still in the same uniform doing an
9:11
Speaker 3: old hit. I said, I never want that. So what
9:16
Speaker 3: I did was I learned to be a chameleon, and
9:20
Speaker 3: I wanted to change with the times. So what I
9:22
Speaker 3: did was I kept myself around fresh hotness, and I
9:27
Speaker 3: learned everything in life is a learning process. The moment
9:30
Speaker 3: we think we know everything, we absolutely know nothing that's right.
9:34
Speaker 3: So I learned to be a comedian and change with
9:37
Speaker 3: the times. So the stay in power has been number one.
9:39
Speaker 3: My faith is unshakable in Christ. I love the Lord,
9:42
Speaker 3: and that's my rock and my salvation. So I decided
9:47
Speaker 3: when the music changed, you changed too. But you can't
9:51
Speaker 3: straight too far away from who you are and with you.
9:54
Speaker 4: But it seems like you you're such a great singer
9:56
Speaker 4: that it's like I can't see you ever doing anything else.
9:58
Speaker 1: I can't believe you even used to rap?
10:00
Speaker 3: What the beauty if? That was? When we got discovered
10:02
Speaker 3: as rappers. One the first question I asked Sylvie Robinson
10:05
Speaker 3: is is Robinson? Is it okay if I sing too?
10:08
Speaker 3: Because I wanted to put a hook. You don't want
10:11
Speaker 3: to sing. So when you say that, hey, you said no,
10:13
Speaker 3: that I was begging to do that because I knew
10:15
Speaker 3: one day in life I wanted to sing from the church.
10:18
Speaker 3: So I mean, I love rap, but I can sing too,
10:22
Speaker 3: so can we combine it too? And she's so excited
10:25
Speaker 3: about the rap, she said, Oh, I need you do
10:26
Speaker 3: what you want to do.
10:27
Speaker 1: Wow.
10:27
Speaker 3: And that that is what kind of set the segue
10:30
Speaker 3: up for me to make the transition from after being
10:33
Speaker 3: thirty years old, you want to transition from hip hop
10:36
Speaker 3: to hooray. So I just went ahead and started singing
10:39
Speaker 3: and you know, kind of juggling now when I did
10:41
Speaker 3: my deal with Arista. The one reason you don't know
10:45
Speaker 3: a lot about the hip hop is one of the
10:48
Speaker 3: things that Clive Davis and Peter Edge wanted to do
10:51
Speaker 3: was say, Okay, look, we don't want to date you.
10:53
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm still young. What are you talking about? Well,
10:55
Speaker 3: we don't want to talk about all that stuff at
10:57
Speaker 3: sugarhar So they kind of gagored at me not to
11:00
Speaker 3: talk about artist coming out right got you? And because
11:05
Speaker 3: I'm a singer now and they want to focus on that,
11:09
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I don't have a telescope into the future,
11:13
Speaker 3: not knowing what it was going to be. How it
11:15
Speaker 3: was going to be. All I know is I'm in
11:17
Speaker 3: this game for somebody, gotcha.
11:19
Speaker 1: So what happens when people recognize you pull up the radiation.
11:21
Speaker 3: You're like, OK, okay, she.
11:26
Speaker 6: Just wasn't talking about it in interviews, Like I couldn't.
11:28
Speaker 3: Talk about it in the interviews. It's not that I
11:29
Speaker 3: didn't want to.
11:31
Speaker 5: I never heard of anything like that that they put
11:33
Speaker 5: a gag.
11:33
Speaker 3: I don't even know, well I'm using that word gig.
11:35
Speaker 3: But when your boss.
11:36
Speaker 2: Tells you try to make the music, like how to
11:40
Speaker 2: do a sixteen and do a hook and all.
11:42
Speaker 3: That because you said enough time? Wow what I was hungry.
11:46
Speaker 3: I was thirsty, I was ambitious and I went I started.
11:49
Speaker 3: It's like now I'm developing film and you know, reality
11:53
Speaker 3: shows up. It's having that bug to say, I'm I'm
11:58
Speaker 3: a rubber band. You can stretch me, but I won't pa,
12:01
Speaker 3: I'm gonna always do me. So you know the you know,
12:06
Speaker 3: being a rapper is a life lesson for me, but
12:10
Speaker 3: it hurts when you've put over forty years in the
12:13
Speaker 3: game and the people that are now eating off of
12:18
Speaker 3: the foundation that you created don't look back and say, yo,
12:22
Speaker 3: good looking. Now that's why Snoop shows us love. That's
12:24
Speaker 3: why Doctor draining them show us love. The people in
12:27
Speaker 3: La embrace us because Yo Yo can say hey, EMC
12:32
Speaker 3: like and say Yo, hey, it's because of y'all that
12:35
Speaker 3: we're doing this. She thanked me, Yo yo, thank me.
12:38
Speaker 3: We gotta show our first show coming up with EMCE
12:42
Speaker 3: light and Salt and Pepper and just don't I said, oh,
12:46
Speaker 3: you know, I got to bring the girls just go
12:49
Speaker 3: like that Rodick and Philly. So that's coming up, and
12:52
Speaker 3: I'm excited about.
12:53
Speaker 1: That new artist.
12:54
Speaker 2: I'm sorry he has any of the new y'all artists.
12:56
Speaker 1: Thank you. City girls ain't never thank y'all.
12:58
Speaker 3: No, they don't know, but but but I promise you
13:08
Speaker 3: they will know because I'm actually getting ready to do
13:10
Speaker 3: We're working on a biopics.
13:12
Speaker 6: That's what I was gonna ask you. I saw you said,
13:14
Speaker 6: is Jamie Fox working on that too?
13:15
Speaker 3: Or was that you know Jamie and our work. Jamie
13:17
Speaker 3: wants to do another film with me. But Ralph, when
13:22
Speaker 3: I'm working, well, who did Hollywood husbands? Uh? On the
13:26
Speaker 3: on the biopic and We're gonna have to cross all
13:29
Speaker 3: these lanes. So I'm very excited about my journey and
13:33
Speaker 3: my career and my life coming from hip hop through
13:36
Speaker 3: Neil So all the way up through my vertical whole
13:39
Speaker 3: days and just having a bird's eye view like I'm
13:42
Speaker 3: gonna I'm gonna blow your mind? You ready for this?
13:46
Speaker 3: One of the things that I can't wait for the
13:48
Speaker 3: world to see is hip hop was in the Bronx
13:54
Speaker 3: before it ever came downtown. It was something in the Bronx.
13:59
Speaker 3: It was myself and Little Rodney See that introduced hip
14:03
Speaker 3: hop to Downtown. We did the first party of the
14:06
Speaker 3: show in the club that was called the roxy Uh.
14:12
Speaker 3: It used to be a skating ring. We made it
14:14
Speaker 3: into the club. It was Andre Harrel myself with the
14:16
Speaker 3: sequence the Funky four plus one More Africa Bada. This
14:20
Speaker 3: was a show that my money paid for, made the
14:23
Speaker 3: flyers for Put Together and his fourth. Hip Hop moved
14:27
Speaker 3: from Uptown to Downtown single handily, and it never changed.
14:32
Speaker 3: Madonna used to serve us drinks at Danceteria. That's how
14:35
Speaker 3: really get okay. That was a club she was a
14:41
Speaker 3: waitress at.
14:42
Speaker 1: How do you remember her?
14:43
Speaker 3: Because she served me drinks? Wow? You she was a waitress.
14:49
Speaker 3: I was a performer there. Wow was she?
14:52
Speaker 6: Did she say you know I'm an aspiring singer.
14:54
Speaker 3: Also, No, she didn't have to say that she was working.
14:57
Speaker 6: She was just you know, sometimes people will do that.
15:00
Speaker 3: But I'm just giving you shedding a little light on
15:02
Speaker 3: some stuff because a lot of people, when they disrespect
15:05
Speaker 3: the sequence, they disrespect the culture of hip hop because
15:09
Speaker 3: they don't even know how they got from uptown to downtown.
15:12
Speaker 3: And when you overlook the fact that Hey, Little Run
15:15
Speaker 3: and seeing m GP booked this show, paid everybody for
15:21
Speaker 3: the show, and henceforth the wild Style movie, bab Fire Freddy,
15:25
Speaker 3: He'll tell you all these people know. So when you
15:29
Speaker 3: overlook that, you overlook a movement. It's not just about
15:33
Speaker 3: the one song. You have to look at the legacy
15:35
Speaker 3: of what hip hop really stood for back then and
15:38
Speaker 3: the sacrifices that were made. And I can't wait for
15:41
Speaker 3: the story of Yeah.
15:42
Speaker 4: When I think of like sugar Hill Gang, I'm like,
15:43
Speaker 4: there's no reason for anybody ever mentioned sugar Hill Records
15:46
Speaker 4: and I mentioned Sequence.
15:47
Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, I don't understand when the sugarhar Girl
15:50
Speaker 3: they called us that, but we wrote all their hits.
15:52
Speaker 1: Yeah for the guys too.
15:56
Speaker 3: Did you hear what I just said? Yeah, apache one
16:00
Speaker 3: under all so really we were the West Street mob
16:04
Speaker 3: that left Stance. I know you got the fever, that's
16:07
Speaker 3: the sequence.
16:08
Speaker 4: Were all getting paid Yeah good money.
16:11
Speaker 6: Is a movie going to be Do you know where
16:15
Speaker 6: it's going to be? Is it going to be on
16:16
Speaker 6: like a like a BT series or is it going
16:18
Speaker 6: to be in the theater?
16:19
Speaker 3: It will be, it will be. Uh, it won't be
16:22
Speaker 3: just one episode. It'll be a series, a mini series.
16:25
Speaker 3: That's what's working on because it spans too far talking
16:29
Speaker 3: about nineteen seventy nine up until today and just releasing
16:33
Speaker 3: the album that's already my single dropped and it went
16:36
Speaker 3: straight to number two. Oh certain baby, So my my,
16:42
Speaker 3: it's a reason for everything. I think God preserved this
16:45
Speaker 3: time for us to get the story right.
16:47
Speaker 4: So you know, what advice would you give to this
16:49
Speaker 4: musical generation, because when I hear you talk, I'm saying
16:52
Speaker 4: to myself, man, it's almost like you always got to
16:54
Speaker 4: constantly tell people what it is you do because if not,
16:56
Speaker 4: they will forget.
16:57
Speaker 3: Well they will forget I mean because the unfortunately, the
17:04
Speaker 3: masterminds of the powers that be, in my opinion, have
17:07
Speaker 3: taken the love and the genuineness out of the livelihood
17:13
Speaker 3: of being you know an artist, back when you had
17:17
Speaker 3: to work and enjoy touring, and you know, a lot
17:21
Speaker 3: of that stuff has been kind of cut out because
17:23
Speaker 3: it's like a fast track now to success and a
17:28
Speaker 3: lot of people are consumed with money. Back then, we
17:30
Speaker 3: were having fun. You know, when you did a block party,
17:33
Speaker 3: you had fun. You know what I mean, when you
17:35
Speaker 3: went to the skates ring and you bounced frock, say
17:37
Speaker 3: you have fun. Now it's all business, business, business, and
17:42
Speaker 3: at the end of the day. So my advice to
17:44
Speaker 3: anybody doing this, man, take your time. It's like going
17:47
Speaker 3: through school. You want to be a senior so bad,
17:51
Speaker 3: but the minute you graduate and I wish I was
17:54
Speaker 3: back in.
17:54
Speaker 2: So it's that to take it serious though, because a
17:57
Speaker 2: lot of times we didn't look at business and.
18:00
Speaker 3: We had fun. You asked for somebody else and we
18:02
Speaker 3: didn't guess what, that's me all day. But I'm still
18:05
Speaker 3: here to tell you that's me. But I'm here to
18:09
Speaker 3: tell you that I wouldn't change a thing because I
18:13
Speaker 3: had a great time. I had a great time, and
18:16
Speaker 3: sometimes you can't compromise the monetary value of it. For
18:21
Speaker 3: you know, my daughter gave me a penny. They had
18:22
Speaker 3: a whole and said, don't be so busy making a
18:25
Speaker 3: living that you forget to make a life, you know.
18:29
Speaker 6: All right, So let's talk about your children and their
18:33
Speaker 6: respective father. So what was your your daughter's father?
18:36
Speaker 3: Right?
18:37
Speaker 6: Did you guys ever think you were going to end
18:38
Speaker 6: up together get married?
18:41
Speaker 3: Now, my daughter's father's a little roundie see for four
18:44
Speaker 3: plus no more? Did I ever think I fell in
18:47
Speaker 3: love with him? He was a good person, still is
18:49
Speaker 3: a good person. It was a leo. We were compatible.
18:52
Speaker 6: You're very into signed. You're like, I'm sad.
18:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because I you know, energy when we hooked up.
18:59
Speaker 3: He when he came to sugar Hill was I think
19:02
Speaker 3: after we had been on a couple of tours, Sylvia
19:05
Speaker 3: signed the Funky four plus one more. The young man
19:08
Speaker 3: that I was dating prior to becoming a celebrity died
19:12
Speaker 3: a tragic accident in high school. So I was in
19:15
Speaker 3: mourning when we dropped Funky up. I was really grieving
19:19
Speaker 3: and touring. He came along with the group. We had
19:22
Speaker 3: so much fun, just clicked, and I got pregnant with
19:26
Speaker 3: my daughter, and of course from the Bible bell I
19:29
Speaker 3: at that point realized, oh my god, I can't be pregnant.
19:33
Speaker 3: I can't be pregnant. I have a husband. So my mindset,
19:36
Speaker 3: the way I was taught back then was you can't
19:39
Speaker 3: have a baby by the.
19:40
Speaker 5: Wedlocke, gotta get married, got.
19:42
Speaker 3: To get married. So I got married for that reason,
19:46
Speaker 3: not because I didn't love him, because I did. But
19:50
Speaker 3: I'm an only child, so my mom and dad was
19:51
Speaker 3: gonna wring my neck if I didn't.
19:54
Speaker 5: You're trying. Thing was.
19:57
Speaker 3: Wow.
19:58
Speaker 1: I mean that shows how much expect we have for.
20:00
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, god. Absolutely. So at that point we did
20:06
Speaker 3: get married. We did get married. It didn't last long
20:08
Speaker 3: because it wasn't right, but at the end of the day,
20:12
Speaker 3: we did good business together. Because I have to shout
20:15
Speaker 3: him out as the person that taught me the ropes.
20:20
Speaker 3: Yeah he you know, he was a part of SUGARYO.
20:22
Speaker 3: Sugar didn't like him. They didn't agree with him because
20:25
Speaker 3: he didn't take no mess. And it was like, you
20:27
Speaker 3: ain't gonna take me to learn and pay me the
20:29
Speaker 3: same thing I made in New York. So you know,
20:33
Speaker 3: I started to learn the ropes to the game. I
20:36
Speaker 3: moved to New York because of that, And that's why
20:38
Speaker 3: I credit him for that, because after learning what I
20:42
Speaker 3: learned about the industry, I could shape my life up
20:46
Speaker 3: a little different.
20:47
Speaker 6: So then you had the highly publicized relationship with DiAngelo,
20:51
Speaker 6: And I told y'all used to work for D'Angelo.
20:53
Speaker 3: So I was.
20:53
Speaker 6: Around like when all of that was happening, and you
20:55
Speaker 6: guys used to work together.
20:57
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, without giving a lot of I
21:00
Speaker 3: was with the Angelo four or five years prior to
21:02
Speaker 3: him becoming the Brown sugar Man. So a lot of
21:05
Speaker 3: people don't know that. They just think it just was
21:07
Speaker 3: an overnight thing that happened. It wasn't that way. We
21:10
Speaker 3: were together for quite a while and by the time
21:13
Speaker 3: we fell in love with each other, it wasn't anybody's
21:16
Speaker 3: business because nobody was checking for him all that. No,
21:19
Speaker 3: it wasn't all that stuff going on. By that time
21:21
Speaker 3: we were here or we was in love. You like
21:23
Speaker 3: what you're gonna do, so you know, you can't just
21:25
Speaker 3: start picking and plucking people apart because oh, somebody gets
21:29
Speaker 3: a hit record. Because I think ten fifteen years prior
21:34
Speaker 3: to that bunk you up had dropped, I was already there.
21:37
Speaker 3: I was with Vertical Hole, was already in the game
21:40
Speaker 3: as a celebrity. So by the time he was discovered,
21:43
Speaker 3: I was there already, and so I was more of
21:46
Speaker 3: an asset than you know, the way they try to
21:50
Speaker 3: make it look. Because at this point, like if you
21:52
Speaker 3: take somebody who you're trying to get in the game
21:54
Speaker 3: and say hey, I need you to hook up, it's like,
21:56
Speaker 3: right now, anybody connected to Beyonesce I gonna win, you know.
22:00
Speaker 3: So if you're winning, you want to put people that
22:03
Speaker 3: you want to win with winning people. And I think
22:07
Speaker 3: that's where they kind of I'm gonna use the word tick,
22:10
Speaker 3: you know, because the tick sucks the blood out of
22:12
Speaker 3: a situation. And I think the industry, the conglomerate of
22:16
Speaker 3: people kind of used that situation to count.
22:18
Speaker 4: But you was already like a couple couple of solo
22:20
Speaker 4: albums in by the time you got with him, right
22:23
Speaker 4: one one.
22:25
Speaker 3: I just thot my first I was with Vertical Hole.
22:27
Speaker 3: When I got with him, I wouldn't even end my
22:29
Speaker 3: solo career yet.
22:30
Speaker 6: When did you guys fall in love? Because like you said,
22:32
Speaker 6: you had known him before Brown Sugar and everything.
22:34
Speaker 3: You knew him before abs No, I when I before
22:38
Speaker 3: you guys knew him? I knew him, but it was
22:42
Speaker 3: just it was chemistry. We worked in the studio and
22:45
Speaker 3: as we were working it just you know, the same
22:48
Speaker 3: magic you heard that was being created was something that
22:52
Speaker 3: was being created that that creator created lot. I didn't
22:56
Speaker 3: do that. I didn't even go oh, oh my God,
22:58
Speaker 3: I want you now. It was never that.
23:01
Speaker 6: I remember working for his management team and they didn't
23:05
Speaker 6: like the fact that he was having a baby because
23:07
Speaker 6: they felt like it would take away from him as
23:09
Speaker 6: this sexy can't control God.
23:11
Speaker 3: That that I didn't make the baby by myself. He
23:13
Speaker 3: didn't make the baby by you know, when people get
23:16
Speaker 3: when that happens, it happens. You don't playing it. You
23:19
Speaker 3: don't you know, you can't say, oh tonight, I can
23:22
Speaker 3: I have a baby? You just don't do that. That's
23:26
Speaker 3: a part of God's plan. But you know, I'm sure
23:29
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't like you just ever got married.
23:32
Speaker 3: But you can't stop this work so mad. But I'm
23:35
Speaker 3: just making a point. People, you know, you can't dictate
23:40
Speaker 3: what happened. And they might not have liked him having
23:43
Speaker 3: a baby. I didn't know. He didn't want a baby
23:46
Speaker 3: something he wanted. No, absolutely, And my thing is I
23:48
Speaker 3: think that people read way too much into again dollars
23:53
Speaker 3: and cents right that all he was a check for them.
23:56
Speaker 5: Absolutely, how did the relationship?
24:01
Speaker 1: Why did they go left?
24:02
Speaker 3: See? If I tell you all that, you won't watch
24:04
Speaker 3: the movie playing just for the sake of being being
24:11
Speaker 3: who it's really about me. It's like anything you put
24:15
Speaker 3: too much pressure on a situation. You take somebody who
24:21
Speaker 3: is again thirsty, hungry to be successful. And I don't
24:26
Speaker 3: know what they said behind closed doors. I don't know
24:28
Speaker 3: what they did. I don't know how they push buttons.
24:30
Speaker 3: I can only tell you a lot of stuff was done,
24:35
Speaker 3: but it wasn't a normal It hurt us both to
24:39
Speaker 3: break up and and I can honestly tell you that
24:42
Speaker 3: it affected us and it still affects my life, his life,
24:46
Speaker 3: my son's life. It's still those kind of moves hurt people,
24:51
Speaker 3: and at the end of the day, you're not happy
24:53
Speaker 3: because at the core it's not where you.
24:56
Speaker 1: The industry broke.
24:58
Speaker 3: I can't say that. I can't say that without really
25:04
Speaker 3: going into but I mean, you could be able to
25:07
Speaker 3: tell me. You should be able to tell me. Do
25:11
Speaker 3: you think we working on all?
25:12
Speaker 5: Do you think I know you did it?
25:14
Speaker 3: Okay?
25:15
Speaker 1: How the label you when you got pregnant? Your label?
25:17
Speaker 3: They can't dictate my life because I'm a woman. It's
25:20
Speaker 3: like Lauren here, she did say, y'all can't tell me
25:23
Speaker 3: I'm a woman, so at should I not have children
25:27
Speaker 3: because I have a record or should you know? You
25:30
Speaker 3: have to look at life and say, should I put
25:33
Speaker 3: everything that God has intended for me on hold to
25:37
Speaker 3: accommodate the people that are leaches? No, if you want
25:40
Speaker 3: what I got, you got to take all of me.
25:43
Speaker 3: And that's just said. So yes, I had two children,
25:45
Speaker 3: and if I could have had ten children, I would.
25:48
Speaker 3: I was an only child, so I loved big family.
25:51
Speaker 3: But I did put myself on hold so that I
25:54
Speaker 3: wouldn't have all these babies because you know, I wanted
25:57
Speaker 3: to work. I want to have a life.
25:58
Speaker 1: Was it a hard core parenting with with the agelong?
26:00
Speaker 3: It's hard coparenting with anybody if you're not married.
26:03
Speaker 4: Mm, especially y'all. Y'all both on TOI all the time.
26:06
Speaker 4: Schedules crazy, all of us.
26:08
Speaker 3: Like I said, both my children fathers are in the
26:11
Speaker 3: entertainment business, and it's harder for anybody who is not
26:15
Speaker 3: living together every day to co parent if you're both traveling.
26:19
Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, my husband is God.
26:24
Speaker 3: The reason I say that is because that's who helped
26:28
Speaker 3: me sustain the life with my children.
26:31
Speaker 6: Was there ever a time that you were disenchanted with
26:33
Speaker 6: this music business having been at such a young age
26:35
Speaker 6: and said I don't wanna do this anymore?
26:37
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Absolutely, I've quit four or five times and people going, oh,
26:42
Speaker 3: we need you, we need you, we need you. So, yes,
26:45
Speaker 3: disenchanted is the right word.
26:47
Speaker 2: Uh.
26:48
Speaker 3: I think because I see the good, the bad, and
26:51
Speaker 3: the ugly, and because a lot of people that are
26:53
Speaker 3: in the uh you know, the the fans don't see
26:58
Speaker 3: the perimeter, and we see the perimeter. It makes you
27:04
Speaker 3: say you have to pick and choose how you're gonna
27:07
Speaker 3: use your gift. So I choose to use my gift
27:09
Speaker 3: in lyrics and in positive messages and real messages so
27:14
Speaker 3: that the people that are listening from a heart space
27:17
Speaker 3: get it. So I can't really be consumed with oh
27:20
Speaker 3: they not they not recognizing me. Oh they're not doing
27:22
Speaker 3: this cause they didn't give.
27:24
Speaker 1: Me a gift.
27:25
Speaker 2: What happen with your daughter? You got an incident with
27:27
Speaker 2: your daughter. I know that was publicized everybody.
27:29
Speaker 3: Hell, I mean since their daughter we go through we
27:31
Speaker 3: all right, that's my daughter. The beautiful thing is when
27:38
Speaker 3: we were raised and and and and he could tell
27:40
Speaker 3: you this from South. Our parents didn't play with us. Okay.
27:46
Speaker 3: I used to get a straightened call, throw straight across
27:48
Speaker 3: the room at me, or a shoe or boot what
27:52
Speaker 3: they could grab. So the reality is we were raised
27:55
Speaker 3: in a certain way and disrespect is not tolerated. That's
28:00
Speaker 3: the fabric of who I am now. My daughter and
28:04
Speaker 3: my son, they can wear me out. I'm gonna stay
28:07
Speaker 3: throw something at you if you make me mad, because
28:11
Speaker 3: that's not how we do. She have kids of her
28:13
Speaker 3: own now, and I have to get between her. Hey wait,
28:17
Speaker 3: but it's called family. And the only reason it gets
28:23
Speaker 3: magnified to the tenth power is because inquiring minds want
28:28
Speaker 3: to know. If I didn't have a name, that wouldn't care.
28:31
Speaker 3: So but my daughter's mind, that's my heart.
28:34
Speaker 4: And when you get beat as a kid, when you
28:36
Speaker 4: get older and you know the objects don't work no more,
28:39
Speaker 4: and you think you can raise up on your dad
28:41
Speaker 4: exactly raised up on her mama.
28:43
Speaker 1: Put them hands up there. Let me see where you're at.
28:45
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, cause you can't. You can't come at me,
28:47
Speaker 3: want to fight me like a street person, and I
28:50
Speaker 3: and I just get the bell, or that ain't gonna
28:52
Speaker 3: worry or we were pulling up Now now that's my
28:58
Speaker 3: baby she you know. But y'all good always.
29:01
Speaker 6: So you think about making timeless music, right, because you
29:03
Speaker 6: have songs that you've done so long ago that today
29:07
Speaker 6: still are relevant and still people could listen to it
29:09
Speaker 6: like it's brand new.
29:10
Speaker 3: But that's what I was talking about. You know, you
29:13
Speaker 3: have to know your purpose. And that's what I meant
29:16
Speaker 3: when I said creating music that meets the mind of
29:19
Speaker 3: people that it touches, because you know, when we're gifted
29:23
Speaker 3: with certain things, we're gifted for a purpose, and when
29:28
Speaker 3: we make ourselves more important than the purpose, we lose
29:32
Speaker 3: the gift. So I had to make sure that I
29:35
Speaker 3: didn't get consumed with everything that everybody else worries about
29:38
Speaker 3: in terms of, oh, you ain't working it like a lot.
29:41
Speaker 3: I've never been invited to black girls rock, no man,
29:45
Speaker 3: never wow, come on now, but I love black girls
29:50
Speaker 3: rock rock.
29:51
Speaker 1: Come on now, that's just ridiculous.
29:53
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, if I let little stuff like
29:56
Speaker 3: that stop me from rocking as a black girl, hmm,
30:01
Speaker 3: then I've lost the purpose.
30:02
Speaker 1: I'm about to hit Connie right now that ain't even right.
30:04
Speaker 5: I'm gone.
30:07
Speaker 3: I'm only saying that because a lot of people come
30:10
Speaker 3: to me, you come right around. Oh really, no, they
30:13
Speaker 3: haven nobody to me, So I would never assert myself.
30:17
Speaker 3: And this goes back to the way the industry shapes
30:21
Speaker 3: the situation because of another situation.
30:24
Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about some other things, because we're developing
30:26
Speaker 6: reality shows. But you've also been on reality television, right,
30:30
Speaker 6: R and B Divas and so what was your experience?
30:33
Speaker 6: Because they did it wasn't what I thought it was
30:35
Speaker 6: going to be or what you thought it was going
30:36
Speaker 6: to be. Ridthinck and Angie Stone is going to come in.
30:38
Speaker 6: She's the voice of reason, She's the person that's going to.
30:42
Speaker 3: Well that's what they hired me for. When I went
30:45
Speaker 3: just the backstory to R and B Divas. Uh, when
30:49
Speaker 3: before the show was created, I had created a show similar.
30:53
Speaker 3: So the same guy Peel who put the second show
30:57
Speaker 3: together was a person that I was working with the
31:00
Speaker 3: development show. So same idea faith had I had and
31:05
Speaker 3: NICKI And when they called me and said yeah, well
31:08
Speaker 3: we can all do it together, said okay. I thought
31:11
Speaker 3: I was gonna be a producer on that. And then
31:13
Speaker 3: when we addressed it. They said, well, we've already done contracts.
31:15
Speaker 3: We've done d D d D. I said, okay, well I
31:17
Speaker 3: want to I let go. I walked back because I
31:20
Speaker 3: realized it's crazy. So the second season, I got a
31:25
Speaker 3: call from TV one and they said, hey, look, these
31:29
Speaker 3: girls are fighting too much. They're doing this, they're doing that,
31:32
Speaker 3: and you you know, we all love you, we respect you.
31:36
Speaker 3: We need you to begin in here and try to
31:37
Speaker 3: smooth things out. So I said, okay, that's easy enough
31:42
Speaker 3: for me. So my purpose for being a part of
31:45
Speaker 3: the show was to make them focus on who they
31:48
Speaker 3: were as singer, even though they had to cat fight
31:51
Speaker 3: stuff going on. I my job was just to try
31:55
Speaker 3: to smooth it over. Well, of course his reality TV
31:57
Speaker 3: and I learned this the hardway. They turned that thing
32:00
Speaker 3: all the way around and like who you think you
32:02
Speaker 3: have and blah blahlah, and I'm like this, Hell, I'm
32:05
Speaker 3: old enough to know the difference, still young enough to
32:07
Speaker 3: make a difference. You need to chill, okay. So it
32:12
Speaker 3: really ticked me off because even though they didn't know
32:18
Speaker 3: the ins and outs of my being there to smooth
32:21
Speaker 3: things out, they used to get upset when I say, well,
32:23
Speaker 3: let's sing something. Look, I'm trying to help y'all stay relevant.
32:28
Speaker 3: Let's sing something. People need to hear your voices in
32:31
Speaker 3: this capacity. But they, I think, underneath it all, they
32:37
Speaker 3: trying to figure out why she's still doing this and
32:40
Speaker 3: I sing better than her, and I'm not here and
32:43
Speaker 3: I'm not there, and I think that was the problem.
32:46
Speaker 3: They became a little bit envious of the fact that, well,
32:50
Speaker 3: who she thinks she is, I was their biggest dress
32:53
Speaker 3: and as a result, I say, you know, I don't
32:55
Speaker 3: want a part of this.
32:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you walked off during the reunion.
32:58
Speaker 3: I walked off because once they started to manipulate, and
33:03
Speaker 3: you know, I was not comfortable with the lives of
33:07
Speaker 3: touring and I'm like, look, I can't let you guys
33:10
Speaker 3: destroy my brand. I've been doing this almost forty years
33:13
Speaker 3: at this point, so I'm not willing to throw my
33:17
Speaker 3: entire life away because you need five minutes of fame.
33:20
Speaker 3: So y'all got this. I'm good over here.
33:22
Speaker 6: They were even trying to say that your husband slept
33:25
Speaker 6: with my husband, I mean your boyfriend at the time,
33:27
Speaker 6: our manager slept with somebody from the staff.
33:31
Speaker 3: You know what, I really don't want to address that
33:36
Speaker 3: because he's fighting for his life right now, so I
33:38
Speaker 3: kind of don't want to go there. That's a very
33:41
Speaker 3: good friend of mine that had some wonderful times with
33:45
Speaker 3: and yes there's been a lot of rumors about a
33:49
Speaker 3: lot of things, and if you saw the show then
33:52
Speaker 3: you saw it was very uncomfortable for us. But again
33:55
Speaker 3: manipulative and you know, he just had a very very
33:59
Speaker 3: bad motives. Okay, been been down.
34:02
Speaker 5: We'll pray for him.
34:03
Speaker 3: Thank you. I don't want to go there.
34:05
Speaker 1: Why did you name the new album full Circle?
34:08
Speaker 3: Well, that's a great question. I dictate the success of
34:13
Speaker 3: my album based on the title. When I did Mahogany
34:15
Speaker 3: so all I went to this whole Mahogany Vibe, Barushka
34:19
Speaker 3: lipstick and all this, because I think that a song
34:23
Speaker 3: or a title of a song dictates the strength of it.
34:28
Speaker 3: Full Circle. I'm at a place where I've seen this
34:30
Speaker 3: industry do this, go around and around. It's the same
34:33
Speaker 3: old thing. And I wanted to get back to Angie Stone,
34:37
Speaker 3: the one that when I started out when I did Mahogany,
34:40
Speaker 3: So when I did Black Diamond, I wanted to say, Okay,
34:43
Speaker 3: I've tried all these other things. Let me go back
34:45
Speaker 3: to me and full circle is the complete circle of
34:47
Speaker 3: in my opinion, Well, I've come full circle and I
34:50
Speaker 3: know who I am. I know whose I am, I
34:53
Speaker 3: know what I've survived. If I walked away today, I
34:57
Speaker 3: can say I am a survivor, and full circle dictates
35:00
Speaker 3: that and the end of themself. The fact that we've
35:02
Speaker 3: got five stars out of five stars on everything across
35:06
Speaker 3: the Border, and this album proves that you know, stamp out,
35:09
Speaker 3: whether it's seventy nine or twenty nineteen, it's who you are.
35:13
Speaker 3: You know what your purpose is. So I'm good.
35:16
Speaker 6: You know what I noticed too about music, Sometimes when
35:18
Speaker 6: we go through the most tragic things, that's when the
35:20
Speaker 6: best songs, yes come out of it. Do you feel
35:22
Speaker 6: like that's true for you?
35:24
Speaker 3: I do. You know, just about two months ago, I
35:27
Speaker 3: was fighting for my life and when a lot of
35:30
Speaker 3: people don't notice, but when the album dropped, I was
35:34
Speaker 3: just getting back to myself and I realized at that point,
35:39
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Now it's time to just
35:42
Speaker 3: make a life, enjoy this thing again, get back to
35:45
Speaker 3: the to the place where music matters, because I think
35:49
Speaker 3: at some point it's so much mess going on that
35:53
Speaker 3: music doesn't matter anymore, and I wanted to make some
35:57
Speaker 3: music that matter. And this is the time in my
36:00
Speaker 3: life where I'm at my greatest. I think I've walked
36:05
Speaker 3: a powerful journey. That t shirt that she has on,
36:08
Speaker 3: it's about me and the men in my life. These
36:11
Speaker 3: are all the people that I ever did do it,
36:13
Speaker 3: and I've worked with almost every one. Are the artists
36:18
Speaker 3: of our generation.
36:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't.
36:30
Speaker 3: So that's a specialty that I'm working on because not
36:34
Speaker 3: many people can say that. And I say, everybody is
36:36
Speaker 3: so worried about who's Angie's dating me and the men
36:41
Speaker 3: in my life. I ain't dating all these guys, but
36:43
Speaker 3: I've worked with them all, you know, So I'm in
36:46
Speaker 3: a good space.
36:46
Speaker 1: What was wrong with you two months ago? What was it?
36:49
Speaker 3: You don't want to say, no, no, no, what. I'm a diabetic,
36:51
Speaker 3: you know, I've been, you know, dealing with that. I
36:54
Speaker 3: have a diabetic that was produced induced by pregnant zone
36:58
Speaker 3: and I I had a chemical spell at Presbyterian Hospital
37:02
Speaker 3: when I was twenty six years old that exposed me
37:05
Speaker 3: to a German cause the diabetes because the medicine that
37:09
Speaker 3: had to give me. So when you guys saw me yay, big.
37:12
Speaker 3: It was the medicine. But a lot of people like,
37:14
Speaker 3: oh why are you with that? Big figure said, you
37:17
Speaker 3: don't know my story. So now that I'm completely healed
37:22
Speaker 3: and I ain't got my little swag back, you ain't
37:24
Speaker 3: had none. But let the world tell it. She was
37:29
Speaker 3: this big, fat girl. But again, you got to watch
37:33
Speaker 3: a movie.
37:35
Speaker 5: She is selling this movie right now.
37:38
Speaker 1: Are you scared to have a popied chicken sandwich? Are
37:40
Speaker 1: you scared to have a popeised chicken sandwich?
37:43
Speaker 3: Oh no, honey, okay, I'm not scared. But I don't
37:46
Speaker 3: eat fried stuff like that. Never have. I don't eat
37:49
Speaker 3: like a bunch of junk food, never have. So but
37:52
Speaker 3: you know you can eat, but you have to eat right.
37:56
Speaker 3: You can't just.
37:59
Speaker 1: Hard coming from will you come front?
38:01
Speaker 3: No? But I cooked. See they're not season my food.
38:04
Speaker 1: Without using her that you know. Somebody said, don't.
38:08
Speaker 3: I don't use all that stuff like a lot of
38:10
Speaker 3: people use a lot of heavy salt. You can use
38:13
Speaker 3: lemon and it tastes just like salt. You have got
38:15
Speaker 3: to just know. Now, we love to cook, don't get
38:18
Speaker 3: me wrong. Ox tails and then cooked all of that.
38:21
Speaker 1: Now, but.
38:23
Speaker 3: You don't have to eat unhealthy. You know, I think
38:26
Speaker 3: God has preserved me all this time because he knows
38:29
Speaker 3: my heart and he knows I'm gonna do right. So
38:32
Speaker 3: that don't mean I don't sneak every now and then.
38:36
Speaker 1: And then, yeah, are you trying somebody to play you yet?
38:39
Speaker 3: For the ball, I got some ideas. That's some ideas
38:42
