  Speaker 4: Like, you know, from the very beginning of you know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: we did that song three times over, and we was
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: making it because you know, every time he did a rap,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: you know, I felt like it was beating.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Up my beat.
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: So I did something to compliment what he was doing.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: So when I did it again, he did a better rap,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: and I was just like, shit, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: So by the third time, we felt like, okay, this
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: is it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: The version we got now with the yeah yeah, you
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Because every time we did it,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: it elevated, you know, and it got better and better.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: And when we finally was like this the one, I
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: was like, oh, yeah, this is gonna be the one.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: Line to y'all. He was trying to be he was
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: trying to kill it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I was trying to beat him up.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: We got was about to turning.
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: I'm like, look, broy, y'all gotta let me go one
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: more time, one more time, bro. So I changed it
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: because at first I was doing a lot of rap,
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: and I changed it to the one word thing to
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: the yeah, and it flipped it that way. Then man,
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: it was like, all right, we got one now.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So with the other versions, were you being too lyrical
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: I was was it wasn't wasn't it wasn't right?

• 2:06
  Speaker 4: That was you know, that was the.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: We need these tracks.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I was gonna ask y'all, do y'all remember the day
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: y'all made it? But y'all made it multiple times?
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: I remember, though I can remember. I can't remember the
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: exact date, but I remember where we was. We was
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: in Nashville because high End back that was the last
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: two songs.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: I was kind of like beating on the desk, was trapping,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And I was like, oh, ship.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: We got.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: When did Wayne get on it?
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Oh? After we'd done it?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: Wayne was hanging around the studio he got.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Making sure he got on that. He was just like, Oh,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: there's no way this going down without me getting on
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: this song. And I mean I think he saw it
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: as well, because for him to hang around nobody else there.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: He's just hanging around in the back and then when
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: it was complete, just pop up like a leper corn
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: and some ship like check this, check this out back?
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: So are we gonna like? Because I know at Essence
• 3:04
  Speaker 9: Festival like that was like the whole thing there. But
• 3:07
  Speaker 9: because this is the twenty five years you guys are
• 3:09
  Speaker 9: out here now, are we going to get the full
• 3:10
  Speaker 9: You said that everybody was getting back together?
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: Is that a thing? Is that happening?
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: Well, as far as I'm concerned, it's still happening. You know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: as far as I'm concerned, it's still happening. But we
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: always know what you know, oppositely what happened on the internet.
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: So I'm trying to resolve that, so that gotta happen.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: You know, we got to sit down and have a
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: conversation about that first.
• 3:27
  Speaker 9: What does that look like between y'all when you say
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: resolve and have the conversation because y'all are brothers, y'all.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: Imagine you being a big brother in your little brother's fight,
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: fussing and you and you you wish you could stop it,
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: and you know it's pretty much nothing you can do
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: about it. But I got a relationship with all of them,
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: you know, So it's it's it's one of them things
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: that I'm trying to fix. I'm gonn continue to try
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: to fix until until that day happens.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I'm not giving up.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I feel like once things get to the Internet, it
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: makes it more irreparable.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Than it probably does, and they complicate that at.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: A certain age.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Honestly, you know, especially if you just being introduced back
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: to the world, stay off the internet, you know what
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, until you actually get your feet playing it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Stay off the internet because
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: social media, especially for me, is a tool to sell something.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: It ain't where I air out my business, you feel
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So it's like Julie said, we're gonna
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: keep on campaigning to fix it, you know, because the
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: fans have spoken, this is what they want. This is
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: a lot of people that grow up on this and
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: it's even more crazy when you don't even.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: Know what you're all get about. You know what I'm saying,
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: It's like what we fussing about, Like, hey, so it's weird,
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: but yeah, we're gonna keep on going.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Men, Me and Juve y'all already see we ain't turning
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: down college out there.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: When was the moment y'all realized back that ass up
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: was a cultural anthem? Like because that happens over time.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: So when did y'all realize, like, boy, this ain't never
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: going nowhere.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: I mean I would say I would say probably at
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: the ten year mark. You know, when when I start
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: realizing that, wow, I'm never gonna get a chance to
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: take a break. People gonna keep on trying to book
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: me for shows or missfass weddness and stuff like that.

  Speaker 5: If you don't listen to the you don't hear the song.
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: When y'all sat down to like put these projects together
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: like for that time in that time, were y'all thinking
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: like because I know sometimes like you'll hear like all
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: like Rockefeller stories that are like, oh, well, we were
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: thinking we want to tell stories in the videos because
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: we knew movies were next. Like were you guys thinking
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: that long hout? Or were you just like, we want
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: to make good music because now you guys are soundtracks
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: to commercials to all different people's celebrations of life, Like
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: was it that big of an idea for you guys
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: at the time?
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: It was true to fum like you know, when we
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: was making these records, it was it was where we
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: was living, you know. And I think that's why they
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: resonated with people so well, like because it wasn't no
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: gimmicks to them, you know right now would be like
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: somebody going, oh that's a gimmick, and you saying this
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: A doing this to us. It was just like, nah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: this is how I feel to day, and I'm gonna
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: write it from a real perspective, you know.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: Well then and then with me.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: With some of my songs, I didn't make all my
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: songs about me, Like how was me being third person
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: like that person in your ear as you that big
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: body being like cycking you up, motivating you. So I
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: think with that I made songs that people could you know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: you will find something in the song that really really
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: relates to your life, you know. So I try to
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: make songs that's not about me all the time, even
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: back of ass it ain't about me.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: It's about the women, you know.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: So I think when when you make songs like that,
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: people tend to it tend to sticks to people a
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: little longer. So, you know, I'm just grateful that we
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: got opportunities to make the kind of music we made.
• 11:31

• 11:40
  Speaker 4: like truth, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Regular conversation.

• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Her my mom.

• 12:27
  Speaker 4: not finished, you know what I'm saying. A lot of
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: people will say, oh, that was it. The crazy thing is,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: to me, my masterpiece might be something that only I like,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: you know, and to me, it doesn't have to.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Go to everybody.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: It could just be like, this is my body of
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: work that I love, and I'll sit here and just
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: jam it my damn stuff. But yeah, I don't. I
• 12:48

• 12:50
  Speaker 4: don't have one yet. What about you?
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: It ain't over till it's over, man, you know, I'm
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: I'm I feel like I got my second win right now,
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: you know. So I'm backing the studio, creating, and I
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: feel like I made a lot of music, But I
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: don't know. I feel the same way with him, like
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: I've made some great songs, but I still think I
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: have a little more to get out, and until I
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: do that, I really I don't want to label anything
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: and master piece shit.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: The fans do it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: That's interesting record.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Even when I look at Wayne, it feel like Wayne
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: just starting to get his just due.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: As a lyricist. People have all time conversations.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I got.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: One conversation when you bring Wayne up the goat. I
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: think Wayne the greatest rap of all time. I've been
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: with him, that's my dude. I saw the whole process
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: of him. I saw the times where he couldn't curse
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: and we were stopping him from saying certain things like
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: but you can't say that. Yeah sound good, but you
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: just can't say that. People don't want to hear that
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: from you right now, you know. And just seeing the
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: whole development of Wayne and where he at right now,
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: I just feel like he's the greatest of all time.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: But then I feel like you should be in them
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: all time.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: Incredible that you always, bro, You always watching me. I
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: lave you for that. You always throw my name.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: It's like, you know, that's that's like a barber shop fight.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: You know, when somebody's telling me, you know, they're like, oh,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: broah blah blah blah, and I'm.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Like, but j it, bro, you know what I'm saying.
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: Why do you think that they don't throw you in
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: those conversations? Is it because people are too busy having
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: a good time to your music.
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: I think it's partially because I don't really care. Like
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: even when they asks me, I, they always ask me
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: who you think the greatest rapper is, I'm like, I
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: don't care. I wish people stop saying that. Let's say
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: who make the best song? Who forget who the greatest
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: rap is? Because I know some rappers that's real good.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: Let's check. Let's go to the numbers. Pull up any one.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Of your greatest rappers, your best rapper, whoever you like
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: a lot, and we'll put four hundred degrees against their
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: best album. Let's check the sales. No double CDs. Don't
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: pull a double CD trick on me either. That's some
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: bullshit right there. Oh he sold to me. He had
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: two CDs in his packaging. Fam So if I sell
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: five minion, he sold the same amount as me. Now
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: let's go from there and then let the people let
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: the numbers decide.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: So you think she'd just be about songs, not boss.
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: Not boss, click man, some of these cast can rap
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: as off, can't make a song to say the like,
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: I know a lot of great rappers who cannot make
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: a hit, a lot.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Of it from a little small city in New Orleans,
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And it's weird, like like
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: what you're saying. I don't know why we get overpassed
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: so much or whatever with all of the numbers and
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: all of the stuff that we've done or whatever.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: But it's to the point now.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I used to be modest about it now, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: I'd be like, fuck that ship.
• 15:32

• 17:26
  Speaker 7: be written, right, I didn't even know it was going
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: back part was gonna be written. But I was just
• 17:29

• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Right now?
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: Back that ass up the most and dances dances the

  Speaker 7: It's like a lot of other people out there, but
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: that's the only person I'm really seeing. That's why I
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: said that. And then you know, I got to keep
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: it southern.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: What you said?

• 17:57
  Speaker 9: ass up and you don't even feel like you're and
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: you just you having such a good to whatever we
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: frow mind.
• 18:03

• 18:13
  Speaker 7: I just I just don't do it like you know.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: That's that's where negatives come from. I got products and
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: things like that that I want to sell and I
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: want everybody to support me. So I'm definitely never going
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: to say nothing negative about nobody. I just don't do
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: it on no platform.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: When you all clear.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: Now, when I'm to myself, yeah, you might hear some
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: ship catch me off.
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: I got I got koyak if I'm off that yact.
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: That's what I'm really you know what I'm saying.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Is when y'all got to clear the record, how do
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: y'all make that decision? Like for example, when A the
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Elementary use the song when you get the call and
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: they're like, look, they want to use it for back
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: that ass.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Up, y'all you yeah, believe it or not.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: It's some ship that I've shot down, Like you know
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. I'm just like, nah, you butchering that,

  Speaker 4: of both have said it all money ain't.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: Good money, you know what I'm saying.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: And we even want to give like this this new
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: generation a shot at it, but we don't want you
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: to kill it, like you know what I'm saying. And
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: we always wanted to be represented.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: Well, how do you monitor that though?
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Anybody clear something for me? You know what I'm saying,
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: I got to say yes or no to if it
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: gets you know, however it works.
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: I guess my question is like, what's like?
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: What?
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: So what's like? Comes in? It's like, notice this trash.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: This isn't going to do justice to what we want.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: The production is awful too, something, you know, Like it's
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: a lot of times where something I'm like, God.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: Damn, dude, you you just took the part you and.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: You toe it up like you know what I'm saying,

  Speaker 7: There's some's some it's some cats out that that then
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: butchered up my songs. But they were so unsuccessful with
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: what they were doing. It wasn't even work. Was my
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: time going after I'm like, damn, I'm gonna chase that dollar.

• 20:51
  Speaker 4: great that's a good show, you know what I'm saying.

• 21:00
  Speaker 4: her podcast and it was one of I forget what

  Speaker 4: the beginning of you know what I'm saying. It was like,
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: it's Michelle Obama. I was gonna say, you know what
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, And all of that actually still helps elevate it,

  Speaker 7: Man, My dude came down, and then I told Trombone
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: Shorty about it, and Trombone said, man, look, I'll come
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: down and play with you too. I ran the same
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: ship by John Baptista and he was the same way,
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: say like, I fly down and do it, which it
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: would just make it an all New Orleans set, and
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: we bought some some some members of the Field Harmonic
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: down too from our city. So it was just a
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: great look New Orleans said it was it was a
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: good look.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: That's what made this so amazing.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: The instrumentation, Yeah, that says a lot about you, band,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: because clearly you were influenced by like what they.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Call them in New Orleans, the second Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I mean on every corner you got a band.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: In my high school, a lot of the bands that's
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: that's you know, important people like even Kermit Ruffin or whatever.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: All of them went to the same all of us
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: went to the same school.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: So instead of really having a band, we had like
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: second line bands. We didn't have marching bands, so and
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: we didn't even have band teachers, you know, so we
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: kind of learned by ear and just what feels good.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: And I'm glad that's the way I kind of do
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: music because I think if I actually really would have
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: had training, it would have sounded a whole lot different.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: And and I think even.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: With the way I do it, it goes across so
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: much better because to me is a feeling. It ain't
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: so much of oh, you don't know how to read music,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: you don't, you know, and even to watch like Trombone
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Shorty those dudes do, but but they play with feeling,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: he do they play with feeling?
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: You know, yeah, they are the best, man I'm talking
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: about it ain't close with I mean them dudes can
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: play all the instruments, Manny being mine is though, because
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: Mandy play a lot of instruments.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: His damn self, drums, keyboards, all that, a little bit
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: of everything.
• 24:33
