  Speaker 3: want to kick things off real quick. This year, twenty
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: twenty six marks forty years of Raising Hell. When that
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: album came out, it was July of nineteen eighty six.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I'm a fifteen year old kid in Virginia Beach, Virginia,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: and I got a hold of that Compact.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Desk and it changed my life.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Wow, when you look back at that record right now,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, what do you think about the most.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, we didn't really know what we was doing.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: You know, Run always says that everybody got to experience
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: your on DMC and JM message except us because we
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: was doing it. But now then I look back at it,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: for you know what Walked this Way did when we
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: hooked up with Aerosmith, and that video is iconic. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: mean yeah, and if the beauty I think what it
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: means is this. I've been to every country, not every country.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I've been to a lot of countries since eighty six.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I've been to South Sudan. They know my music there.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I've been to Russia and Ukraine, two countries at wore
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: beautiful people in both of those countries. I can go
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to somewhere I've never been Tomorrow sin ety six. I
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: always get this DMC. Don't you know when Steven Tyler
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: took that Mike stand and knocked down the all that
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: separated video, it didn't just happen in the video, happened
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in the world. So music is very powerful, and when
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I look back on those accomplishments, they consider running them.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: See the Beatles of hip hop. Raisin Hell is our
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Sergeant Peppers. It really is. I mean, I mean, there's
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of great music and albums after us, but
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody from Chuck D to Eminem, everybody from
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: every genre says, you know, they're raising Hell album. It's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the one.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: People were doubting rap music back then, and it wasn't
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: until that album they went Okay, this might be around
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: for a while.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's funny. Even in eighty six, with
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Walked This Way and mind Dida's Out and were on
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a Raisin Hell tour with the Beasts in Ll and Houdini,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: we would still do press conferences, right, this is funny,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And some journalists would always say, this is eighty six
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: DMC and raising Hell's killing. Where do you think you'll
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: be in three years? Because they thought three was a fad?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: They don't was like that. Well, and I remember I've
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: been sober for twenty two years, but I remember in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: eighty six I screamed at a journalist drunk, I'll be
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: back here in ten years doing another press conference. Issue up.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Ten years go by, I'm at a press conference. A
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: journalist puts his hands up and says, DMC in eighty six,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I asked you where you would be in three years.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You cursed me out. I'm saying, what's their I'm that journalist.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. That's a great story. I can remember.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was telling Covey there's an amazing story. And
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I know it's a long one, but it's on your Instagram.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: But when you met Michael Jackson and there was a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: chance you were going to collaborate, and Bubbles kind.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Of got Bubbles kind of got in the middle of everything.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: For those who don't remember, the Bubbles the champion, Yeah, Bubble, Yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'm Jules.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had an overall sneakers in a hat backwards
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and it was me, Run Jay and DJ Hurricane from
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the Pasts and we, you know, we got to meet
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Michael Jackson. He wanted to make a record with us,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and he came and with him and assistant of cooking Bubbles,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and you know, this is funny. I think he brought
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Bubbles to feel us out because during the whole conversation,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Bubbles would go up to Ja and look at Jay
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: up and down. Then it would come over to me
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and I'm sitting and you know, in a movie, you
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: could hear the actors thoughts or whatever. So if you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: could hear my thoughts. And I know Jay and Kane
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and Rum was thinking the same thing. I'm going, oh
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: my god, this is Michael Jackson and he got bubbles
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and bubbles, got all sneakers and a hat backwards. But
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it was a beautiful me And because I remember the
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: first thing, Michael jack I'll never forget this, and Run said, Hi,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget this either. D Michael Jackson walks in
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and the first thing he says to us run DMC,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you guys are great and being a little kid singing ABC.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't want you back. And my mother
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: had the little forty five and there and I'm saying,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: since the guy who's been with me my whole life
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: was now running the world, he just told me and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: my friends that were great. That was like a moment
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Well, it's like the way you told us you listen
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to our show that made us feelod Inspiration is a
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: two way street.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: But it was. It was a beautiful moment. But how
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: come joke is while we never got to make the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: record Run DMC was too busy in eighty six in
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: eighty eight to make is that the real reason why
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: it didn't happen. No, No, what happened was Michael was
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: always on tour when we was hold Mike you ready, No,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I can't do it right now, And when Michael was ready,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: when DMC was on tour. Because in eighty six, if
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you'll remember, we had did eighty six, we did Raising Hell.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: In eighty eight we did Together Forever tour with the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: b c's, So we did American and then we went overseas. Right,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: record never came to.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: It would have been something though that happened.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But I love saying I was too busy to make
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: a record with Michael. Yeah, but it was a beautiful still. Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So I was going to ask you, do you miss
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: life on the road at all? Like you know that
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: kind of touring is I would.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Think, I mean, no, no, No. The thing with turn
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: is if you're on the road too long, you miss home.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: But if you're home too long, you miss the road.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: So there's really a balance there, you know what I'm saying, right,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And I mean, especially if you enjoy what you're doing,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you know, well you're staying busy. I know that. Tell
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: us about the Garden of Dreams talent show. It happens
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: It gives kids facing real difficult obstacles a chance to
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: perform at Radio City Music Hall. And how did this
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: come together? Had you become a part of it? Tuesday?
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Right? Right? Well, I've been involved with the God in
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the dreams for about ten years now, over ten years, yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: way over ten years. They have more than ten years, right,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But more story short. I found out that I was
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: adopted when I was thirty five years old. Get out. Yes, yes,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I was an alcoholic, suicidal of physical spiritual wreck who
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: was thinking of killing himself, who found out he was
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: adopted at age thirty five. Then I found out was
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a Forster kid. Then Byeford, son of Bitefrid, brother of
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: al Banners. My father Byford died and Jamster J got murdered.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So imaging where is that? But after rehabing therapy, everything
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: is all right now. So in hip hop tis to
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: say and keep it real. So what I'm trying to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: do is remove guilt and shame from all mental health
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: situations and all situations people think is unfortunate. So I
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: was going around to different organizations and agency speaking. I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: would go to a group homes, I would go to hospitals,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I would go to mental health organizations and institutions, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: every time I would get there, they would be like
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the guard in the Dreams, just left from here, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: then they would go places in DMC, just left from here.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So god In and the Knicks and the Arrangements they
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: sought me out and said this would be a perfect
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: match in heaven because I was actually one of those kids.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: So I hooked up with the Garde in the Dreams.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It was beautiful about the Garden in the Dreams organization.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I have a saying, you can't just give out turkeys
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving, and you can't just give out presents on
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Christmas and then not see the people in that community
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: for a whole year. You gotta stay involved in them.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: So when I hooked up with the Garden and the Dreams,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: they was really really unique in that area. They don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: just engage with the kids. They engage with the children
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and the families and they stay with them throughout their journey,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: whatever obstacle it is. So I've been working with the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Garden in the Dreams. We work with foster kids, homeless kids,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: educational medical hospitals, boys and girls clubs, group home, children's village, anything,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and everything. Everywhere where kids are facing difficulties. But then
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: this blew my mind. I'm working with the Garden and
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the Dreams, and I think rundi em c it was
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: like maybe ninety eighty nine, ninety might have been nineteen
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: ninety one before I got to play at Radio City
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Music Hall. I get with the Garden and the Dreams,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: and they talk about every year they give these children
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the opportunity to go on stage at Radio City Music
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Hall where the rockets are every day and perform. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: these are kids from like what maybe five years old,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: about seventeen eighteen years old, and what's phenomenal? They're facing
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: crazy obstacles. I'm talking cancer, brain surgeries and wheel to everything.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: But I've discovered that there's beauty in every child. Every
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: child deserves the right to dance and sing, and that's
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: all they want to do, no matter what obstacle it is.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And they put these kids on the stage and I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: not talking about I'm thinking you would think they just
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: gonna sing nursery rhymes. These kids are doing Broadway, these
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: kids are doing soundtracks. These kids are doing Marvin Gay
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and that King Cole is it. Alicia Keys is huge, Yeah,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: they're doing wicked. Is it like? No, it's top They're
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: better than eminem.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: But it's like, is there?
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: They do everything kinds of talent. They do all kinds
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of talented flutes, violins, dancing, step. I thought that it
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: was the universities that were had the best step groups. No,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: these kids are amazing. And what's beauty. I'm so excited
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: because these kids have taught me, don't complain. Life is
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: beautiful no matter what you're struggling against. So the Garden
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: of Dreams, what we do is this, We plant seeds
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: in a beautiful garden that grow into forests throughout the world.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: These kids are spectacular. Every year they get to go
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: on I don't even I gotta watch. But here's why
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I do it with them. I'm like the instructor. You know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I'm there to mentor them, and I'm not really there
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: to mentor them. I'm there to steal because these kids,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: when I go back on the roll and when I
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: go back on stage, I got an advantage over all
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: everybody in the music business because these kids, they don't
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: know that I'm stealing all the stuff and I'm using it. Look,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sixty one years old. I've been in music for
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: like forty three years. So the Garden in the Dreams
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: is one of the most phenomenal organizations, not just in
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: New York City in the world.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: That is beautiful. So it's a Radio City music hall.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I mean it's open to the public.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Right, it's free too, it's free bright, it's free after words,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: not the bad ones, free for friends and family.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Very nice.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's phenomenal.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Tuesday.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, radio City Music has seven pm.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Can be beautiful.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: So there might be a little bit a line out there. Yeah. Always,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: it's always, and it gets better and better and better
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: and better every year.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: You've got a lot of to Tracy Morgan, John Michael Strahan.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. Now, how you feeling on the Knicks.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm loving what the Knicks is doing right. My mother
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: is in her grave yelling. I remember being a little
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: kid when the Knicks won the championship. My mother was
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: She played basketball in high school and stuff like that.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: So I think my mother's spirit came down from heaven
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: and said, you know what, this is last year too.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: These are the years moving forward where the Knicks is
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: going to be back on top.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: So when the Knicks get to the championship, which I
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: feel they will. Who are they playing?
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I want to see San Antonio Spurs.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I want to see Okay, she really because you wanted
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: to beat the best team in the league.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, okay, se is like the Warriors war here correct.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I want to see the Spurs because number one, I'm
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: a Tim Duncan fan on on me and Tim Yeah,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind seeing that rematch in real time. Yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: because they made the excuse it was a shortened season
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: or something like that, and that's why the NIXT law
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: no no, So now we're gonna come back and prove
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: to them this is the real deal New York City.
• 13:21

• 14:32
  Speaker 2: for Motley Crue on guitar, and Duff McKagan from Guns N'
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Roses on pace the same way it was Aerosmith and
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Run DMC. I was expired forty years ago by Aerosmith
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: in the world too. Now I'm utilizing the same thing
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: that we did for everybody else. I'm doing it for
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: myself with some of the best in the music business.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And the most important thing about this record is it's fun.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: We did Ram Jams Black Betty remem Oh, we did
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: a reinvention of that. But the reason why me, Sebastian, Travis,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Mikinduff did it is when it's such a divided time
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: right now. Everybody's fighting against everybody. There's war's going on,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and rightfully so, every generation has its problems, but also
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: every generation needs something to show us that we are
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: all brothers and sisters. And nothing is better in any
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: world here in America and even over the globe is
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: when we work together. So me, Sebastian, duff, Mick and
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Travis got together to say, come on, y'all, let's unify,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: let's collaborate. Because collaborations, what we did with the Aerosmith,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: what run dmc did with Adidas, collaboration, Collaborations lead to conversation.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Conversation leads to cooperation, and cooperation leads to transformation. So
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: this record is spiritual for everybody in every society, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: it's not just America, it's recorded for everybody globally. We
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: all are one. Christine, I don't know about you. I'm
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: inspired right.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm all day, Yes, exactly, so much.

  Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you for how y'all lift us up
• 16:15
