• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Would you like would you like to ask me why?
• 5:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 5:42
  Speaker 11: Go ahead, bro, Because the food banks wanted to be amplified.
• 5:45
  Speaker 11: That was the whole point of that. That's why we bought,
• 5:47
  Speaker 11: you know, especially here in New York City. That's why
• 5:50
  Speaker 11: we bought the two people who were two of the
• 5:52
  Speaker 11: people who run food Bank NYC up here.
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: They wanted to be amplified.
• 5:56
  Speaker 11: And because of that amplification, you know, at least me personally,
• 6:01
  Speaker 11: I was able to provide like seven hundred, eight hundred
• 6:03
  Speaker 11: thousand meals for people. But they've had a they've had
• 6:06
  Speaker 11: record breaking numbers at the food banks because of people
• 6:09
  Speaker 11: amplifying you know, what they were doing. And it wasn't
• 6:11
  Speaker 11: just me. You got people like Tracy Morgan. Who else
• 6:15
  Speaker 11: is out there.
• 6:15
  Speaker 10: I ain't saying that, I ain't saying they amplify. I
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: ain't saying don't amplify it. But I'm saying you always
• 6:20
  Speaker 10: had to say you you do this, you do this,
• 6:22
  Speaker 10: And then let me say this, bro, I'm from My
• 6:24
  Speaker 10: name is Shamon, I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but I live
• 6:26
  Speaker 10: in Georgia now. But and shout out to just I
• 6:30
  Speaker 10: think that bro, y'all amplify you amplify. I mean, you
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: push stuff out there and don't don't tell the other
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: side or don't have the other side story, you know
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: what I'm saying. Like just I said, I had to
• 6:45
  Speaker 10: say this just when I think it was Dame Dash
• 6:48
  Speaker 10: it came up there. You knew how to sit back
• 6:52
  Speaker 10: and just lay low, you know what I'm saying, and
• 6:54
  Speaker 10: not say too much to nothing. But that's what envy
• 6:58
  Speaker 10: and that's what Charlotte main. That's what y'all need to
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: learn how to do. Bro, when y'all don't really know
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: what y'all talking about, you know what I'm saying, Damn,
• 7:06
  Speaker 10: Because like like they said, y'all push your agenda out
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: there to the people, man, and that don't be cool
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: when y'all pushing the wrong agenda. And a real quick
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: example is Jesus' birthday ain't on the twenty fifth, and
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: y'all push that Christmas stuff like that's the like, that's like,
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: that's the truth. Don't stop killing our people with this
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: bad information. You know what I'm saying.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Can I say something else to you?
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, go ahead, bro.
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: I just let you.
• 7:32
  Speaker 11: I just let you say a bunch of wrong stuff
• 7:34
  Speaker 11: and didn't didn't say anything.
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: Okay, I know you didn't, Bro, I promise you didn't.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I just let you talk what you mean.
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: But see, that's what I'm saying. It's a joke because,
• 7:44
  Speaker 10: like I said, you'll push your agenda, bro, and don't
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: know the truth of it. Bro, or you do. That's
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: what made me feel like y'all a part of agenda
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: too for the most part. And again that's why I
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: like just because she stay quiet on certain things and
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: it keeps her out of it. But Bro, don't push
• 8:00
  Speaker 10: the don't push agenda if you don't really know. You
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: know what I'm saying. Like like I said, when I
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: when you cut me off, tell me about Jesus and
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: show me a Bible word of twenty fifty of his birthday.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I never said that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: I never said that I thought this.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Was Jesus birthday.
• 8:15
  Speaker 11: What I said was being that y'all recognized this is Jesus' birthday.
• 8:19
  Speaker 11: Y'all don't even let Jesus headline his own birthday day.
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: The day that y'all say is Jesus' birthday, the day
• 8:25
  Speaker 11: that y'all say y'all should recognize Jesus birthday. Y'all don't
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: even let him. Headline it, y'all, let Frosty the Snowman
• 8:30
  Speaker 11: headline it. Santa Claus agenda.
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: You're still pushing the agenda, bro, You're still pushing it,
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: just like Jesus ain't white. But but they still got
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: his picture up in all these churches of him being white.
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: And ask you know what I'm saying, I ask you
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: another question, magic question.
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: Go ahead, man, what do you like? I like my family,
• 8:48
  Speaker 10: I like my wife, I like living.
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: But they don't like you.

  Speaker 3: I see it. I'm on Facebook all the time. They
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: don't like you. They say you come out of the man.

  Speaker 11: Dinner table, and you always coming in with all of
• 9:02
  Speaker 11: these conspiracy theories and you know, causing arguments with people.
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: Hey, I bet you can't show me. I bet you
• 9:08
  Speaker 10: can't show me what Jesus is white. But he posted
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: everywhere around the world as he's white and in the
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: Bible and clearly say that he's black.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I don't think Jesus white either.
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: But what I'm saying, you pushed an agenda.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: You know I don't think he's white.
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: I agree with you, yeah, but I'm saying I'm saying this, Bro.
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: When I say that agenda. I ain't saying you pushed
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: the agenda right and now that Jesus is white. But
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: when you talk about Christmas and celebrating these holidays that
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: satanic and it ain't good like and you transform them
• 9:37

  Speaker 5: little soap. Yeah I got a little something. You should
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: come nickall in life. You know what I'm sing.
• 12:20
  Speaker 11: You're gonna tell about everybody in the house to radio
• 12:26
  Speaker 11: Everybody anniversary and one of the greatest hip hop albums?
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, Yes.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: What does it feel like mentally to have to revisit
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: that era?
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: To be honest with you, it feels like that album
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: was supposed to happen. Uh, and even twenty years later,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: just the obstacles that I had to go through to,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: you know, get this tour going and everything, it just
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: feels like, uh, deja vu.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: But the but the consequences are not dire. They just
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: like things and you got to show your adversity. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: it feels like I was.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Just talking to somebody about this other day. It's just like, now,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Soul Survivor really resonates with me. It makes sense, you
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Because I'm a Soul surviving and
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I'm listening to the words, I'm like, oh, this is me,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: this is who I am. You know, when I wrote it,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: it was a record. Now this is my life and
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: it's just like to be twenty because you gotta think,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: like you think about Parc and Big. You know, what
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: would they what would they have done twenty years in
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: the game. You know what I'm saying, you celebrating all
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: eyes on me life after death twenty years later. You know,
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know, Park might have been DJ in his basement.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know what I'm saying, but I'm living life
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: and I'm going through you know, one of those stages
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: where you know, you get to watch the game line
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: wash the streets.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. I'm in this world, but
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I'm not of it, you know what I'm saying.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: So I get to watch it. But at the same time,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: I already put my work in so I get to
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: sit back. But I'm dealing with real stuff now, running
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: companies and doing deals and and you know, empowering other people.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: So it's now I got to really practice my skills
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: of leadership, but with my catalog behind me, because I
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: can stand on that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Because it's solid, you know what I'm saying.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: So I'm not you know, I'm franking badly amazed. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: can keep going if I wanted to, but I don't
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: got to do.
• 14:15
  Speaker 13: You have survivors remorse at all because I used to.
• 14:18
  Speaker 13: You have so many people that you ran in.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I used to. But everybody know me. They know
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: I'm solid, you know what I'm saying.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, my life is about peace,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: join freedom, and I ain't even I'm saying that to
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: say a lot of people don't survive the war, baby,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. It's like I ain't got
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: no reason to go back and then to prove you
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. I'm just trying to live my life,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: make sure my people straight, you know, put me in
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: to people as I can put on and keep you know,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: just you know, just inspiring and involving my culture, which
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: is why I'm even doing this symphony tour, which is
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: crazy because I think I'm the first one to ever
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: take a symphony around the world to do a tour.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: You know what, I mean, to celebrate, you know, my
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: first Day You album, which is about three four times platinum.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: I ain't checked last time, but.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I can't motivation.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's crazy.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Because it's like, you know, the only time I remember
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: putting on the suit is for a funeral or adding.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: It's a celebration.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: And it's not just about It's not just about you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: the music, It's about everybody who came along with his
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: journey with me. That will celebrate. Think about where you
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: was twenty years ago, you know what I'm saying, Where
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: you were twenty years ago, and where y'all at now.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: It's a celebration of that because that music reminds you
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: of that time you was out there grinding.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: But look what you grind it too.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: So this is a reason for everybody put on a
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: suit in a nice black dress and come out and celebrating.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: And I do want to say this, this is not no,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: this is not the opera.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: You're not gonna sit down and cross your legs. This
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: is a party, you know what I'm saying. At the
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: same time, you know, shout out to Adam Blackstone. You
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: know he helped me produce it. The Hodges is uh,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: he wrote the music, he's actually conducting it. Those brothers
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: are crazy about DJ Drama with me. So you know
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: it's a part that got DJ A's with me. It's
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: a celebration, I'm saying when.
• 16:05
  Speaker 13: You were making this album twenty years ago, right, were
• 16:09
  Speaker 13: you just making songs or were you thinking the future?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Were you thinking catalog because you look at a lot
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: of people in the industry and that catalog is not strong,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: right the first album, the catalog is not strong. They
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: can't go on tour. Were you thinking about that when
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: you're writing this first album or was it this I'm
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: just trying.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: To get out the hood.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I'm just I was just trying to stay alive and free,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: and I just wanted to be heard. And the reason
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: why that album is so solid is because I put
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: everything in that. You know, I didn't have another shot.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. It wasn't like no label
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: was looking for me. You know what I'm saying. I
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: had spent all these all these all this money to
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: build this buzz, and I had this one opportunity. And
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: you got to think, like, I lost my voice, I
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: tore my vocal cords, you.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Know, had Bell's part.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Like all these things happened at one time, and I'm
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: just like I was humbled and the album got leaked
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: four weeks before it came out. Think about that. I
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: was up against all that, and I'm still like praying.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, And it happened. So when
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I look back twenty years ago, like I didn't realize
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: what I was doing, but I know to change the
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: trajectory of my family and our generational wealth and getting
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: my family in a better place that this is all
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: I had, you know what I'm saying. So I put
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: everything in that trappa, dye in this. Yeah, everything by
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: the way, I probably you know it was riding around
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: you still getting it right, Statute of Libertations up. I
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: won't put that out there.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: Interesting what you said about the record sole survivor, because
• 17:37
  Speaker 11: at that point in your life you had survived to
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: a certain extent, but you didn't.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: You didn't feel that way.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: No, I mean you got to think about it. I
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: didn't really even start celebrating life until the recession. Wow,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah I was. I was out of it, bro, I
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: was drinking, smoking, living. I'm just holding on, you know
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, because I didn't know then I woke
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: up one day It's like, damn' still free?
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: You know you any more?
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah? And ain't nothing like that.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: That's some type of stress you don't even want, you
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, because it's just it's every day,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: it never stops.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: And you're always on edge.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: You're living from uh you know, you're living from a
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: survival mindset, you know what I'm saying. And you know
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: when I woke up on that day when I started
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: to work on the Recession, that's when I realized what
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: abundance was.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: I'm saying because now I'm like, I'm a superstar. You know,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: I was telling them the other day, Man, I got
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: in the gym, got myself together. My first show in
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Boston for the Recession tour. You know, I get the
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: stage and I'm telling the security guard, Hey, yo, they
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: throwing stuff at me. We got to get out here
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: and get down. He's like serving all their panties.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: Oh down like this.
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: You know, bros and stuff.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: But I'm like, Yo, this is this is different because
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: you gotta think when I was doing shows, when Doug
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Motivation came out, all gangster was in the front. You
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, all the all the hustlers. It
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: wasn't no women. I didn't have any women fans, you know,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: shut out to the women fans out there.
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: You know what I'm saying, I'm shocked that you didn't
• 19:09
  Speaker 12: know that you were such a taxable.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: I'm really sitting here like, how did you not?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, like in the you know, like
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that then, you know what I'm saying,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: cause you got to think like back then when I
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: was doing you know, I was I'm five eight, I
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: was two sixty, skin bad, I want drinking water. My
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: dad was waffle house in Crystal. You know what I'm saying,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I'm partying all day because I didn't know if I was.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Going to be home for real. Yeah, I was in.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Big now.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, not get it now.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: I mean even on the intellectual level, like I know
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: that I can sit down and smart with the best
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: I know that for a fact.
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: We saw you with Neil.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah shot and then I said.
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: I was even saying a lot of women in the
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: common saying, oh after the divorce, man, he looked even better.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, I received that.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: But I know that was like an intense time.
• 20:01
  Speaker 12: You know, last year, you're going through all of that,
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: even with you know, the custody battle she did one
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: and everything.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Where are things with you on your ex.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Now, peace, yeah, peace, man. I just I'm I'm all
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: about understanding. I'm all about what's best for everybody, the
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: greater you know, the greater good. And it's just like
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: I'm just telling you, Like my life, I tell myself
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: this every day, like, man, this is amazing.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: I don't got no enemies, I ain't got no issues.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: I don't want no enemies. I don't want no issues.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: I just want peace. I just want joy, and I
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: just want freedom. I love my freedom. You know what
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like I love it, like you just talk
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: about I came up here independently. I just call like
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I'm coming to the breakfast club. You know what I'm saying,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Like I ain't got to check in. I ain't gotta
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: you know, I ain't got to talk to no label.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I ain't got to do nothing to shout out of
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: death jah. I love y'all. But it's just like freedom
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: and ownership is everything. You know what I'm saying, Especially
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: when you're talking art, you're talking culture, you talking.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: To your mind.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like I've worked hard my
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: whole life. This is like this, this is the season
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: of me, you know, what I'm saying. I'm putting myself first.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: It all costs, you know what I'm saying, And it's
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: just like my piece is everything. Like everybody didn't know me,
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: know that, you know what I'm saying. They calm and
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: be like, yeah, bro, like I love people. Don't call
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: me even nothing crazy, you know what I'm saying.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: I want to ask, you know, how was that?
• 21:15
  Speaker 13: Because you're very private, very private person, but that was
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: so public did irk at all? Like everybody in your
• 21:20
  Speaker 13: business talking about you.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I had to come to the realization that I
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: know who I am and then nobody else can't tell
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: me different. So as long as I stayed on the
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: path of integrity and staying true to myself, it wasn't
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: nothing really to worry about because anybody didn't know me.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Like I mean, I even heard y'all was up here
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: like no, I know, I know JESU you know that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: But that's that's because my reputation exceeds me. I'm like,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: I ain't on I ain't on nothing, you know what
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. That's I need to be you know what
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, and I'm not. So it's just like it
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: comes with the territory. You know what I'm saying, he
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: wears the crown. It's just like you know, people talked
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: about Jesus. You know what I'm saying, They're gonna talk
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: about everybody. Everybody's not gonna like you. Now, if I'm
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: a good person to you and you don't like me,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: then there's a problem. But if you don't like me
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: because of what you heard or what you think, then
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: I ain't none of my spiritual business. I can't do
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: nothing about that. You know what I'm saying. I can't
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: even convince you because your mind has made up. However,
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: if you know me and we had some type of
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: interaction and action, I haven't done anything wrong to you,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: then that says more about you than me, because now
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: you judging, now you judge me. There's no judgment here
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: because I'm not perfect by far. But if I haven't
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: done anything to you, then you can't take that position.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Because you know, the.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: People around me got real love for me and my
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: friends in my circle, like I never felt any type
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: of just but the people who wasn't for me of course,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: and that I mean that did me a solid. Now
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: I ain't got even worry about cutting you off.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, get married again, hitting me up.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna be all the way honest. I love my freedom.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: And that has nothing to do and has nothing to
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: do with anything in the past. I just love my friend,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like, I love it. You know,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I think like partners are amazing, you know I would think.
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: So, how did you feel when the Internet said you
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: were you were trying to holler at me along by
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: any means necessarily It wasn't lying, It.
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: Was not lying.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Really, but I was real. Men, I never cheated, not
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: like that. No, I don't cheat me, not like that.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, like that's a little hanging fruit. If I'm locked,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: I'm like, then we got to be married. Like I'm
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: just not a cheater. That's like, I'm not gonna cheat
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: my friends. You know what I'm saying.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm not. That ain't in my blood. But
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: but but you said I was trying to holler.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah I was, you know, but I had to be
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: respectful because I was still you know, finalizing, you.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: So it was hard. It was tough saying focus.
• 23:56

• 23:59

• 24:06
  Speaker 5: shout out to Cynthia. That's a home. You know what
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. No, now now the other one, Yeah, I

• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Good morning.
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: It's about till the money and everybody.
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: We don't say good morning enough to our fellow brothers
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: and sisters, that's right. I was a victim of that
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: until I started to change my mindset. Sometimes I would
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: come down, get in the car going, you know, on
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: the road, I didn't say good morning. And once I
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: started to change my mindset, I realized that's a good
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: way to start your day in a gesture to someone
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: whoever you're riding with, you know, the driver, whoever.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: And then that's the feeling.
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, sometimes that's also the case. Sometimes just say
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: how is your day gone? Or you know, I found myself.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: Sometimes I'm a I'm really in tune to my spiritual side.
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: I've been for a long time. Sometimes I might just
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: be in I remember being in the club and I
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: might walk by a random person and I could feel
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: that energy and I'd be like, let me just give
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: you a hug, And sometimes that just changes somebody's life absolutely.
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: What about that.
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: What about when you were the person that might have
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: been creating the energy though, Like if you felt like
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: some aggressive angriness for this person, but it was your
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: fault because you did well.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: You know. I'm gonna tell you.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: One time I was in South Carolina a and a
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: Hole in the Wall club and it was supposed to
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: be a night where cash money was supposed to be there,
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: and they called me.
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: Because cash money couldn't come. So these folks in South
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: Carolina was mad then a mother if we was not
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: cash money.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Little johnn Eastside boys show up and so I understand
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: it's a hospital situation, but I said, I looked out
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: on that crowd and I said, the biggest dude in
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: this crowd, I'm about to make him my best friend.
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: And I made him my best friend during the show,
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: like playing to him, giving him drinks and hyping them up,
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: and then he turned like it turned the whole crowd around,
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: and then they were fans of us after that. But
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: it was it was a way you can always change
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: the energy of a situation if you approach with a
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: calm manner. That's why good security don't go like try
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: to fight somebody.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: They try to diffuse the situation. That's the first rule
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: is diffuse it not be the aggressive.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Look, Little John, I want to go back, said, this
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: is your first time, real quick, what is a Little
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: John morning routine?
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: Like I knew you were going to ask me that morning.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: So this morning I woke up, had a little water
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: because you know, I do my I do this Korean
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: facial stuff, so I do skin. You know my skin
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: is very important to skin.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: Look, ladies, one rule for that is positivity, positive energy,
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: po the thoughts, because if you're a negative person and
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: all this negativity, it's gonna.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Wear the flesh.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: So get up in the morning and do my skincare routine,
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: brust my teeth, all that good stuff. I'm always in
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: my mind saying affirmations for the day, even before I
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: go to bed, in my dreams, Like last night, I
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: was like, it's gonna be a great interview. This is
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: I look at this as one of the biggest interviews
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: I've ever done in my life because it's a lot
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: to talk about. Charlotte, man, you you've seen me grow
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: from I think we one time we talked, you were
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: like you came to the radio station and in South Carolina,
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: one time. That was early on. He wasn't even on
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: air yet, right.

• 30:48
  Speaker 11: in the in the.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Video and I don't care about that.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: So that's you know, you've seen the growth, and it's
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: I think it's important because yeah, you've seen the growth.
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: You've seen it from a different angle. You've seen it
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: from a different angle. You've seen it from a different angle,

  Speaker 7: and you know, you guys moved the needle of culture
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: and you had everybody and their grandmama on this show.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: So I think it's one of the most important and
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: you know, best interviews I think I'm going to have
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: because of all of that.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Let's claim it. I want to go back. I want
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: to start from the beginning.
• 31:19
  Speaker 13: These are the interviews I love because for some reason,
• 31:20
  Speaker 13: I thought you've been up here before. So I want
• 31:22
  Speaker 13: to start when you first got into the music industry. Right,
• 31:25
  Speaker 13: let's start with you started working with Jamain dupri yep
• 31:28
  Speaker 13: ninety three.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Let's start from there. So how did you hook up
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: with Jamain dupri And what did you do for Jamaine Duprix.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: So I used to be in Atlanta in the nineties.
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: I was like the hottest DJ in the city. I
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: was the demand. I did all the parties and I
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: would see Jermaine all the time at the clubs. And
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: then I did this one club called the Phoenix Night Club,
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: which was the hottest nightclub in Atlanta at the time.
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: We brought Biggie. We brought Biggie. I got Biggie and
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: Craig Mac together when they did the Big Mac Tour,
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: got them. I worked on the radio station, but I
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: wasn't the PD.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: And you know how back then you had to go
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: through the PD because you wanted to get the spins
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: for your artists. So Diddy, you know, he let us
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: get Biggie and Craig because he thought I was like
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: the PD.
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: And he get there and the club is slammed like
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: a million people, and he's like, YO, what the hell, Yo,
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: we need some more money because this thing is packed.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: And then he found out that I wasn't the PD,
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: and so he was extrapist. And then he even tried
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: to get the rep that worked for BMG at the
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: time fired because she got because we got Craig and
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: Biggie for freaking wow.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that was normal back then when artists are
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: on promo tool.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: Like yeah, but you had you wanted to go through
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: the station so you can make sure you get the
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: spind can't get your look. And we wasn't that, but
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: we were hot promoters. So I was doing all the
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: hot parties and I would just see Jamaine all the time,
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: like even if I wasn't DJing, I was everywhere, like
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: I had a thing where I was I wanted to
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: be from. I called it from Bankhead to Buckhead. That
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: was from the boogie spots to the the most hood
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: you can get in Atlanta. So I was literally everywhere
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: and Jermaine came to me, so he hired me. In
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: nineteen ninety three, I started working at Social Death and
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: I was hired to do an R and street promotions
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: because I was everywhere right, so he wanted he wanted
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: someone that had respecting the city, that could go anywhere,
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: and someone like me that I was always out. So
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: that was represents Social Death from Bankhead, Like I said
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: to Buckhead, and.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: What artist did you have being in and off for
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Social Death.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: At that time, I had I put together all of
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: the Social Death based all stars and that night.
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and that changed. That changed music too, like it
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: gave us a whole genre that had never been created,
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: like had never been done before. And that all started
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: because in Atlanta we used to do like it was
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: DJ Jelly shout Out, DJ Jelly shout Out Uh, the
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: j Team, DJ Smurf and all of those guys. They
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: would take like slow jam acapellas, like say, one famous
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: mix was can You Stand the Ring?
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: New Edition and put it over a base beat. So
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: they used to do all of these mixes like that.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: They would just do a whole mixtape.
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: It'll be all bass beats and then these R and
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: B A cappellas, and so I was like, we love
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: this so much in the city, let's take that and
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: make a record from that. Nobody made an actual song.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: So I came up with that concept and I went
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: to my boy DJ Cool Collie aka Rodney, and then
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: at the same time I met CARLM. He used to
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: call the phone that Socio Death and and play his
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: tracks on the phone. Interesting story about that. So one
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: day I'm like, these tracks are dope. So I called
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: him to the office and he comes up there with
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: a freaking keyboard and plays the keyboard like just playing
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: the keyboard, not like no CDs, no cassette tape, just
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: playing the keyboard. And I'm like, this is crazy. So
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: I ended up using him and we did my Boo
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: and so yeah, I did all of the Soco Death
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: Base All Stars, and then out of that we had
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: Player Pancho. He got signed and we did a couple
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: of records with Player Pancho. And Player Pancho is actually
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: how I met the east Side Boys because Player Pancho
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: would always when he would go out, he would have
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: a whole like twenty ten twenty guys with him, and
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: the east Side Boys was always with him, even if
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: it was just like two or three guys with and
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: so me and the east Side Boys just one day
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: we were in the club and we just started chatting
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: this chant who who you with? Get who you with?
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: And then everybody in the club start chatting it. And
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: then I look at Big Sam, I'm like, we need
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: to turn this into a song. And so I know
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: I have access to people with labels and stuff, so
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: I called somebody I knew. Actually I called kou Ace Uh,
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: this guy named ko Ace and kol A's connected me
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: with this guy named Carlos Glover and we ended up
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: going in the studio and we made the song who
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: You With? And that started everything for a Little John
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: as an artist.
• 36:05
  Speaker 11: I'm glad you mentioned Sam and Bolto because people always
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: seem to forget about the East Side Boy. What did
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: they bring to the table? What made Little John in
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: the East Side Boys such an amazing book?
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: We were the sound of the rowdy guys in the
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: back of the club.
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: That's where we were. Was turned up in the back.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: Did you just be looking back like make sure they
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: ain't coming over here.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: With that good?
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: So we were that.
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: And what people don't understand about krunk music. I know
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: some people are like, why was it? Why did it
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: do what it do? Why did it spread? Why did
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: it become big? Because it was an outlet of energy
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: for black youth. When you went to the club, you
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: had a hard ass week, you had a hard life,
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: whatever the fuck was going on in your life. You
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: hear that in krunk music and you get in that
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: damn mos pit and you let all of that out
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: and you feel amazing.
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean, so that's why crunk music
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: was able to reach so many people.
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: That's why I still like going. Like I see you
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: talking about the time about knuck as you buckets the Negro,
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: and it is like it touches your soul in a
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: certain way. And I think we do and and like
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: crunk music tap into music to their ancestors because they
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: were chanting and so on and so forth.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: What did you do when you were a band from clubs?
• 37:24
  Speaker 13: I remember in college there was some clubs that like,
• 37:28
  Speaker 13: you cannot play none of that in this.
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: Club, put your hood up and all that stuff. We
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: just kept going because when you when you tell somebody
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: can't have it, they wanted more. You know. I've seen people.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: I was in Louisiana one time we did a show
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: and they got so turned up they start fighting the
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: police in the club. Yeah, it was crazy. I think
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: it's just a testament to.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: Like we just brought something different, you know, And like
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: the kids now think they are turning up.
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: But they have no idea what a real turned up
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: time was from the two thousands.
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: And get crunkd with such a great record, because I
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: didn't think you could get crunker than Kings of crunk.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: You know, I didn't think you could get crunkd in that,
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: But as soon as you hear who in my Beohagen
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: being me.
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: Like God killed that salute Bohagen out there?
• 38:18
  Speaker 11: How did you how did you even have the mindset
• 38:20
  Speaker 11: to take that to another level?
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: How did you take that energy to another level?
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: That beat was produced by Little j who produced Knock
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: if You Buck. So it was time to you know,
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: come and work on the album, and you know, everybody
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: down with be and me. Of course people that don't
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: know Crime Mob. Part of that was through being me,
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: so we are part of putting them out there. So
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: of course I called all of the squad, you know,
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: Treville helped me write some of the songs, and yeah,
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: Little Jay sent me, I think he sent me some
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: beats and that was one of the beats, and I
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: was like, this is insane.
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: I thought it was one of the crukest beats ever too.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: I think my favorite beats that I've produced are co
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: produced are on is get crunk and what You're Gonna
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: do and what You're Gonna do is unique.
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: I was in New York when I did that beat.
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: I remember I was on TVT and Steve Gottlie and
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: shout out to Brian Leach, my boy, Brian Leach. She
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: was the antar at the time. He was like, Yo,
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: you gotta go in and knock out this song for
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: this I think it was like a Christmas album or
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: something Christmas crunk album that Steve Gottleie wanted to put out.
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: And I'm like, he can't put no fucking album out
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: called crump without me. So I'm like this guy. And
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: so I was in the New I was in New
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: York and Brian was like, you gotta go in and
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: record this song. So I was angry when I made
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: that beat. I'm never mad when I make tracks, but
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: that's one of the only beats I've ever made when
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: I was angry, And that's why it sounds so aggressive,
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: because I was mad that I had to go in
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: the studio and record this. I wanted to just go
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: out like I was like, I'm going going to the club.
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: He was like, no, you gotta go and do this song.
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: And so that's my anger coming out through the drummers.
• 40:01
  Speaker 9: Do you have a trademark the word crunk?
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: I can't remember.
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: Probably did all my ad libs.
• 40:08
  Speaker 11: I know that because you're the face of crunk. But
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: to me, I would have to give I would take
• 40:12
  Speaker 11: three six Mafia probably though.
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: So that's another argument going around. It's an argument that
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: says Memphis started crunk. Here's here's my here's what I
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: will say. We in Atlanta. You couldn't be Atlanta in
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: the nineties and not be listening to eight ball MJG.
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: You couldn't be riding around not listening to master P.
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: Master P. Master P changed the landscape of the South,
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: the South period, right. He was the first one that
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: really got us rally. I would say it was master P,
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: but we was listening to Balling G And of course
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: three six Mafia came around that.
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: Do you think you got us rooty before three six?
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: I think about it.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Bout out about it, yeah, but tear the club up?
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: The club was ninety seven? What yet about it? About
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: it come out?
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: I was in college.
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: I think it was like I remember what happened was
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: in the club in Atlanta. It was playing bass music
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: and then when master P came that was over about it.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: About that was ninety five. Definitely, that was a freshman
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: of college.
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: That was the record more than the hood was getting
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: no limit tattoos.
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: Exactly. That's what changes for us. So I will say
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: Memphis is part of the influence, but it started for
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: us with master p Master about it about it just changed,
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: but we are influenced, but it's all different sounds, but
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: it all intertwines and works together.
• 41:37
  Speaker 11: What moment made you realize Crump had officially crossed from
• 41:41
  Speaker 11: severing energy to a global.
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: Move coming up doing MTV.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: They let me get in Times Square on a double
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: decord bus with a little scrappy.
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: On TRL doing what you gonna do?
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Bruh, MTV.
• 41:57
  Speaker 11: I was gonna say MTV too, because I remember watching
• 42:00
  Speaker 11: the Video Music Awards.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: I forgot what year it was.
• 42:03
  Speaker 11: They played get Low going into commercial break and the
• 42:07
  Speaker 11: audience went crazy and justin Timberlake was wild and imber
• 42:12
  Speaker 11: thinking to myself, Oh, get Lowers out of here.
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and then we end up performing get Low at
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: the MTV Video Music Awards. Get Low, Yeah, lean back.
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: That was a pretty insane year for me.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: Can you tell us the origin story of Lovers and Friends?
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: So in Atlanta we go to Strip club for everything,
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: so we always in it, you know. I was in
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: the strip club one day and the DJ played the
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: Michael Sterling Lovers and Friends, and I was like, huh,
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: that could be pretty cool for Usher to do. So
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: let's let's back up. So this is before Usher's album
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: is done. I give Usher the Michael Sterling on the City,
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: like check this out. We should do this over this
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: don't listen to it. He don't listen to it, so
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: we on my album. So I'm like, I'm gonna take
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: that Lovers and Friends idea and do it for my album.
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: So I do the beat over and I let Usher no, yo,
• 43:03
  Speaker 7: I got this joint for us, like come you know,
• 43:05
  Speaker 7: let's do it. So he flies in, he records it,
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: and he's out and after he does his part, so
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: I'm just like, wow, smash. So I called Luda. I'm like, bro,
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: we got another one, like I need you on his
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: asap saying it Luda. He did his parts and then
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: I go in last because I'm not the rapper, and
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: so I was like, I need to take my time
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: to make sure my verse is as catchy as possible
• 43:29
  Speaker 7: because I can't compete against Ludacris. And then it's Usher
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: like come on. So I was like, let me take
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: something from this record. We had a record called it's
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: a record we did with Ubi. I forgot the name
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: of it, Nothing Free, Nothing Free.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Do you forget that? That's Nothing's free?
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: So we did nothing Free like in the nineties, and
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: so I was like, that shawty part was really catchy
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: on that song, but it was regional. Nobody really heard
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: it out of the South. So it's like, let me
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: take that same little thing and put that in Lovers
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: and Friends and that will be the little catch for
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: my verse to make it catchier and a little Did
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: I know that that was gonna be like people's favorite
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: verse because it's so simple. It's so simple and it's catchy,
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: and yeah, that's one of That song went number one without
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: a video because it was the labels and Superstarists and
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: superstar ad and Da Da Da Da dada. But number
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: one song rap song of the year without a video
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: in the two thousands is impossible.
• 44:31
  Speaker 12: What made you do the Meditation album? So that's totally
• 44:36
  Speaker 12: far the other end of the spectrum.
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, turning fifty, turn fifty, a lot of things started
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: to happen in my life. First thing it hit me
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: was like I asked myself what makes you happy? And
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: I said, damn. Only making sure everybody else good, but
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: that's not what makes me, like what makes me happy?
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: I could really tell myself, and so I was like,
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: you know what, I need to kind of put myself first,
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: Like I'm not happy in this marriage. Like so said,
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: I wanted the divorce. Also, around the same time, me
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: and my my good friend Doug Davis, we talk like
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: every year because he calls and gives me because he's
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: he's like a couple months younger than me, so he's like, oh,
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: you're old man. So we're talking and he was telling
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: me he wanted to introduce me to somebody that was
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: in this space and I was like, oh, that's interesting
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: because I've been listening to like all of this like
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: b neural beats to sleep and relax and ocean and
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: rain and all of this type of stuff. So me
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: and this guy ku Bear his name is kaber Sego.
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: We connected and so I'm going through the divorce and
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: like I didn't like where my mental state was at
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: because I'm angry. I'm like, ah, why can't she just
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: do this and that? And so I'm like mad, and
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: I don't like, that's not me. I'm a positive at
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: all times person. I don't think negatively. So I started
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: to like meditate every day. I started to say affirmations
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: every day, and it helped me to be in a
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: better mental state, as well as having good people in
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: my corner, like my queen, her name is Tomla. She
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: was there for me at that time, and she would
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: give me like also like just positive. She would just
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: keep me, try to keep me in a positive mindset.
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: And she had been through a rough divorce too, so
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: she can give me some insight and just you know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: help me keep my head up. So we went in,
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: we recorded these albums, and you know, this time of
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: my life is feeling like I'm doing what God intended
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: me to do. But what's amazing is everything that got
• 46:45
  Speaker 7: me here I was supposed to do. And even like
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: all of the music that I've given people gave people positivity.
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: So it's always been positivity, but it's meaning more now
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: When someone tells me I never meditated, you helped me meditate.
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: I was having trouble getting over this grief of losing someone.
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: Your meditation about grief helped me. I'm inspired to you
• 47:08
  Speaker 7: know how many people have called me about getting in
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: the gym. Yeah, it's insane, like celebrities, all kinds of
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: people are like, you inspired me to get healthy. So
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: I feel now like I'm doing what God intended me
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: to do. It took me a long time to get here,
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: but this is just the time it's supposed to be.
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: And crazy. I was thinking about this the other day.
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: I met mister Farrak Khan at the Source of Wards
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: and he basically told me, he said, you got power,
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: you got a voice, and he basically was kind of
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: trying to tell me, like use it and that like
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: that stuck with me, Like I'm like, okay, but now
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: I'm using my voice and my power in a good
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: way to push positivity into the world.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: So that is what makes you happy.
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: That's what That's what you know. Yeah, it makes me happy.
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: Just to be just to do good, you know, just
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: to do good because all that comes back and when
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: you like, a guy came to me, I did the col.
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: Of guard thing, right, A guy came to me in
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: the club one night in the club and was like,
• 48:21

• 48:24
  Speaker 6: and it came back positive.
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: And he did he didn't have colon cancer, but he
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: had polyps. So just stuff like that, it just makes me.
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: Feel like I'm doing good in the work, spiring people
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: and being a good role model to my son.
• 48:41

• 49:15
  Speaker 7: No, you know what, black man, we need to cry.
• 49:18
  Speaker 7: So we need to cry. When you get more in
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: tune to your higher self and you stop vibrating at
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: these low frequencies, you can let yourself let the energy flow,
• 49:28
  Speaker 7: because we should.
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: We don't have to be tough all the time. And
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: you're an advocate for therapy. I push all brothers that
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: we don't have to suffer in silence. We suffer in
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: freaking silence. Call your homie sometime to just be like

• 49:53
  Speaker 7: You know. So I started doing therapy. I push anything,
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: any knowledge.
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: That I got, I try to share with every everybody
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: because we got to help each other.
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: We all we got.
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: Y'all got me up here crime.
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: To release.
• 50:13
  Speaker 11: Do you think people truly understand the loneliness that can
• 50:16
  Speaker 11: come with success and entertainment.
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: Uh No, because they just see the private jets and
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: the trips and all that. They don't realize. You know,
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: sometimes you can't go nowhere because people bugging you. You
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: can't spend time with your loved ones without people bugging you,
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: or the the I gotta make another hit record or
• 50:37
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean like or even when you
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: start to go down, you're not as hot as you were,
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: people not picking up the phone and all that. Yeah,
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: it's a lot of most people couldn't deal with this life.
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: It could not deal with it because there's too much pressure.
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: Then people on the internet with all their opinions and
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: all of this and that and it's a lot of
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: pressure that you cannot be built weak to be entertained industry.
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: When you when you my last question, when you think
• 51:03
  Speaker 11: about legacy now, how much of it is about peace
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: and purpose rather than I guess the plaques and the
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: parties and all that.
• 51:09
  Speaker 7: I think my legacy is gonna be all about positivity
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: because every step of the way it's been crunk was positive.
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: It was a positive release. Now in my latter years,
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: it's meditation, mindfulness, Get therapy, fellas, I'm gonna tell everybody
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: out there, get therapy, get a therapy. If it's going
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: through it. You should not be left to your own
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: devices to deal with some serious issues. Sometimes you need
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: to talk to someone that's a qualified person. And I
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: did EMDR. Did you ever do MDR? I never did EMDR?
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: Is amazing because it taps into your subconscious. When I
• 51:47
  Speaker 7: did em DR, stuff came out that I didn't even
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: really didn't know what's there. So it can tap to
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: the it can find the root of why you got
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: that trump. I was able to go to my childhood
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: self and think it's okay, wow, I'm here, it's fine,
• 52:03
  Speaker 7: You're you're loved, you're appreciated, you know all of that,
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: and it helped me to get past whatever that was.
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: And the more you do it, the more stuff comes
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: to you, and you just realize, this is why I'm
• 52:16
  Speaker 7: the way I am. I can now get past this
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: and I can change these habits, you know, and I
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: can be living. I can live a better life.
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: Wow, man, little John, you are an icon, one of
• 52:30
  Speaker 11: the greatest producers of all time.

  Speaker 11: In this next chapter of your life when you are
• 52:35

• 52:37
  Speaker 11: work yet.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: My brother, I do to breakfast club good morning.

• 52:49
  Speaker 12: Donkey of the day, and it really caught me off guard.
• 52:53
  Speaker 12: Damn Solomon, who got the donkey out of the day today?
• 52:58
  Speaker 11: Well, just hilarious donkey today. It goes to Ann and
• 53:01
  Speaker 11: Bernard and mcdono. Okay, they are thirty nine and forty
• 53:04
  Speaker 11: one years old, and I am reluctantly giving them donkey
• 53:07
  Speaker 11: of to day this morning, because truthfully, this is one
• 53:10
  Speaker 11: of the most romantic stories I've ever heard See, when
• 53:12
  Speaker 11: you're in a relationship, you are always looking for new
• 53:15
  Speaker 11: things to do. Okay, new things to try with your
• 53:18
  Speaker 11: significant other. You have to keep things interesting in the
• 53:20
  Speaker 11: relationship and needs two absolutely did that.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: Let me read the headline for you.
• 53:27
  Speaker 11: The headline is dine and Dash couple busted for hitting
• 53:31
  Speaker 11: five restaurants for twelve hundred dollars in free meals. I repeat,
• 53:35
  Speaker 11: dine and dash couple busted for hitting five restaurants for
• 53:39
  Speaker 11: twelve hundred dollars in free meals. See what it happened
• 53:42
  Speaker 11: was Ann and Bernard have been accused of dining at
• 53:45
  Speaker 11: five different restaurants, all within a thirty mile radius of
• 53:48
  Speaker 11: each other, and leaving without paying their tab. Before you ask,
• 53:53
  Speaker 11: from the pictures, I see, yes, they are big backs, Okay,
• 53:57
  Speaker 11: wide bodied individuals, all right. One of them so big
• 54:00
  Speaker 11: that if she wore yellow, kids would run after her
• 54:02
  Speaker 11: thinking they missed.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: The school bus.
• 54:03
  Speaker 11: Respectfully, Okay, Now, these folks just weren't going to different restaurants,
• 54:07
  Speaker 11: you know, to get an item here or there. You
• 54:09
  Speaker 11: know how, you may order some chicken from KFC, but
• 54:11
  Speaker 11: then you know, get your sides from Popeyes. No, these
• 54:15
  Speaker 11: individuals who are so big they could sit on Walmart
• 54:17
  Speaker 11: and make the prices go down. We're eating full blown
• 54:20
  Speaker 11: meals at these establishments. Okay, this is the epitome of
• 54:23
  Speaker 11: big back activity. See, God can't bless what you pretend
• 54:26
  Speaker 11: to be, so you need to be yourself. And if
• 54:28
  Speaker 11: you are yourself, a blessing as big as Anne's back
• 54:32
  Speaker 11: is on its way to you.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Now, let's be clear. This is gluttony to the highest degree.
• 54:37
  Speaker 11: Because the couple used to go to these restaurants and
• 54:40
  Speaker 11: they would go with a party. At six they would
• 54:43
  Speaker 11: order and eat large meals, which often costs upward of
• 54:46
  Speaker 11: four hundred dollars. They would eat quickly and then four
• 54:49
  Speaker 11: members of the party would exit, leaving and behind and
• 54:53
  Speaker 11: and would be with a little small child like a
• 54:55
  Speaker 11: four year old child. They would leave and behind to
• 54:57
  Speaker 11: pay the bill and would act like she was paid
• 55:00
  Speaker 11: and the bill okay with a card. Then the card
• 55:02
  Speaker 11: would get declined. Then she would say she needed to
• 55:05
  Speaker 11: get another card from the car. She'd walk to the car.
• 55:08
  Speaker 11: They'd ask the little boy to stay and wait for
• 55:10
  Speaker 11: her in the restaurant, and then when the woman would
• 55:13
  Speaker 11: get to the car after about ten fifteen seconds, the
• 55:16
  Speaker 11: little boy would run out to the car man the
• 55:19
  Speaker 11: clumpson's wild.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, what I don't understand is if you can put.
• 55:24
  Speaker 11: This much energy into a crime of food consumption, how
• 55:27
  Speaker 11: come you can't put that same energy and.
• 55:29
  Speaker 9: To unbiggin your back?
• 55:31
  Speaker 11: And furthermore, if you can put this much energy into
• 55:33
  Speaker 11: being a snack scammer, how come you can't put just
• 55:36
  Speaker 11: as much energy into getting the job so.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: You don't have to steal from people?
• 55:40
  Speaker 11: Not The owners of these restaurants would call police, but
• 55:43
  Speaker 11: police would tell them this isn't an emergency and all
• 55:46
  Speaker 11: they could do is report the incident.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: This is disgusting.
• 55:48
  Speaker 11: You called the police to report or herd the humans
• 55:51
  Speaker 11: coming into your establishment and stealing, and nobody does anything.
• 55:55
  Speaker 11: But imagine the urgency that would happen if they called
• 55:58
  Speaker 11: and said that restaurant just got invaded by a herd
• 56:01
  Speaker 11: of buffalo. Every single law enforcement division would show up
• 56:05
  Speaker 11: and animal control to get this herd of buffalo under control.
• 56:08
  Speaker 11: So the same sense of urgency should be applied to
• 56:11
  Speaker 11: a herd of humans who are as big as buffalos. Now,
• 56:14
  Speaker 11: what's even saddern As an owner of the restaurant said,
• 56:17
  Speaker 11: they sent CCTV recordings, I guess those are the camera
• 56:21
  Speaker 11: recordings from the restaurant. They would send the recordings from
• 56:23
  Speaker 11: the restaurant, they would send photos, They even sent the
• 56:26
  Speaker 11: registration plate number of the car. And the response from
• 56:30
  Speaker 11: law enforcement was, this vehicle is connected to many people.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: Well go investigate all the many people.
• 56:36
  Speaker 11: Then now we can take that for what it is
• 56:38
  Speaker 11: and say, hey, the vehicle is connected to many people,
• 56:41
  Speaker 11: or we can say one of these individuals is so
• 56:43
  Speaker 11: big that they get mistaken for many. When fifty cent
• 56:46
  Speaker 11: said many men wish death upon him, we knew that
• 56:49
  Speaker 11: meant a lot. So you know how big one person
• 56:51
  Speaker 11: got to be for you to refer to them as many.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: To be fair, though, the whole party not.
• 56:57
  Speaker 11: Big Backs, just like two of them, and they white,
• 57:01
  Speaker 11: so they look like Twitter eggs from twenty fourteen.
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: But let's think about the bright side of this.
• 57:06
  Speaker 11: I know a good romantic comedy when I hear one,
• 57:09
  Speaker 11: Just call Alvin Gray right now, Okay, call Alvin Gray.
• 57:13
  Speaker 11: Were about to go into production on Loving Big Backs
• 57:16
  Speaker 11: Coming to to be real soon. Opening scene, opening scene.
• 57:20
  Speaker 11: We're gonna show them getting baptized at Sea World. Oh no,
• 57:23
  Speaker 11: what hold wait a minute, I got a better name
• 57:26
  Speaker 11: for this romantic comedy. We can change Anne's name to
• 57:30
  Speaker 11: Stella and call it how Stella got her big back.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: That's it. That's it right there.
• 57:38
  Speaker 11: Please please give Anne and Bernard McDonald the biggest he hafed.
• 57:46
  Speaker 11: And let's not forget what they did is wrong and
• 57:48
  Speaker 11: that's why they were arrested in charge with five counts
• 57:50
  Speaker 11: of fat fraud and charge with four counts of theft.
• 57:54
  Speaker 12: Jesus, well, rightfully, so that's right, said fat fraud?
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Jesus. But I know they didn't put regular
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: handcuffs on them either, but that's a whole different How
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: and got her big bag?
• 58:07
  Speaker 11: Yes, you just gotta we gotta change your name to
• 58:10
  Speaker 11: Stella though we changed the name of Stella for the movie.
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how Stella got her big back?
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: Oh oh boy?
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: All right, what do we call Alvin Gray?
• 58:19
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna call him. I'm gonna call him.
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: Although Alvin Gray.
• 58:23
  Speaker 12: Do have a movie called check Please where they run
• 58:26

  Speaker 12: It's like it's a it's a storyline behind and everything.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: Man, you is not lying. I just looked it up.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: Man man hold on, man hold on.

  Speaker 3: We ain't got j D on the wall.
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know.

  Speaker 8: That's all right, that's got JD on the wall. Yeah,
• 59:51
  Speaker 8: got me up there.
• 59:52
  Speaker 11: We see the wall represents like iconic breakfast club moments.
• 59:57
  Speaker 9: Not that you haven't given us great interview.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 8: I haven't had it, you know what I'm saying. You
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 8: have had some you know, studio. I'm out of that.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 11: I'm not in that conversation, but you have always come
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 11: in and gave given us great conversation.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 11: And I've been enjoying the Magic City docuseries, and it
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 11: got me to thinking about like just Atlanta. Like in
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 11: Atlanta has had a lot of different runs as far
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 11: as music is concerned, but what is Atlanta culture exactly?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 9: Is this? Is it the script clubs?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that that's one of the things, skating. It's a
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 6: bunch of different things like the bass music and a
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 6: bunch of different things.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 8: But we haven't we've never really highlighted.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: These things the way I guess I'm trying to do
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 6: and make sure that people understand that that's what it is,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 6: because I think like people think, like even with the
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 6: strip club situation, it was me and whoever else was
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 6: promoting this from a long time ago, just black people
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: trying to promote strip clubs. And you learned from the
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 6: documentary that this was a law that was passed in
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 6: the city and might be more states in this, you
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 6: know South, that nudity was something that they opened the
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: floodgates and made it a business.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 8: So even me growing up, I never.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 6: Realized why it was so many strip clubs in Atlanta.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 6: It was a strip club, damn on every corner or
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 6: in every hood in Atlanta, and I never understood. I
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: just thought we was just a strip club place. But
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: when you look at this documentary, you start going outside
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 6: and looking at all the other places, like in Florida
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 6: and all these other places, You're like, oh, it's a
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 6: law that was passed, right. And I used to come
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 6: to like New York when we used to do things
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 6: and wherever. I go to other cities and be like, man,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 6: why these cities ain't popping like Atlanta with the strip clubs,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 6: And the law is a real law that gave us
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: the entryway to just have this going.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 8: So there, that's a that's an Atlanta thing. You know.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: It's Magic City, the biggest strip club and the most
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: recognizedrip club in the US.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: No, I think, I mean, I think it's been it's
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 6: been a couple you.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 8: Know, over the years.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 6: I think Magic is in the top three, of course,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 6: but like booby trapping Miami King of Diamonds when I mean,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 6: you know, Miami's always had you know what I mean,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: They've always had these trip clubs.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: Turn over and be live.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 6: I think that's Houston. So I think Houston, it's a
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: couple of places that's got. But I don't think Houston
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 6: can get naked though.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 8: That's the thing. It's like we're talking about nudy is
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 8: far strip clubs. It is Miami, and.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Atlanta was nudy nudity.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 11: Atlanta need that infrastructure now because that's what when I
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 11: think about Magic City, I know people look at it
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 11: as just the ball, but when I'm watching The Doctor,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 11: even just growing up, I.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: Think of it as infrastructure. Some people with the break records, I.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 6: Say, I mean, that's the that's the thing. Like I
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 6: was going to answer your question. The reason why I
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 6: wanted to do it is because, you know, we don't
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 6: talk about the places that actually helped us get to.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 8: Where we are.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean, That part of hip hop
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 6: stopped a long time ago. Like when you watch like
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 6: Wild Style, right when there's a person that's not from
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: New York.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 8: I watched Wild Style.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 6: You can see like how Grandmaster cads them what they
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 6: was doing to become and made what made hip hop
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 6: turn into what it was here in New York. And
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: in the later years of hip hop, what shows or
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 6: anything show kids how we got you know what I mean,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 6: how we got to where we are. And I think that,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 6: you know, it's important for black establishments to show like
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 6: it's a forty year old black establishment.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 8: The owner went to jail.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 6: They tried to sell his property, he took it back
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 6: over and now it's back popping. Then that he got
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 6: a TV show Like that's American dream, you know what
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, Like, regardless of whatever good or bad, it's
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 6: a Black American dream that we don't ever really be
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 6: talking about infrastructure now, Huh is it needed?
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 6: I mean we needed more than any of everybody. I mean,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 6: not just Atlanta, like a bunch of cities need to.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 6: It's probably a bunch of other cities that's got like
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 6: forty to fifty year old black establishments that that I
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 6: don't even know about.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 13: What do you think ruined strip clubs? Because at one
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 13: time there was a strip club in every city. They
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 13: were always big. There was fifteen in Atlanta, there was
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 13: ten in New York. What do you think ruined the
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 13: strip club safety?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 6: I think that's why Magic stands out so much because
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: you can go in Magic with all your jurey on.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 6: You can go in Magic and be the biggest star
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 6: in the world and be standing next to the biggest
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 6: criminal in the world. But whatever would happen somewhere else
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 6: ain't getting ready to happen in Magic. And I say
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 6: that proudly because even me, I go to Magic without security,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 6: like because the security in there gonna take care of
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 6: me like they like if they was.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 8: Working for me. And I feel like it's the safest
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 8: club in Atlanta. So I feel like that.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: I feel like the safety of strip clubs and how
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 6: Magic ran the club strip club attiquette, I think that
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 6: is that that's what.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 8: Killed rip clubs for the most part.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: Also, I notice, you know, growing up, when we used.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 13: To go to strip clubs, you go with a couple
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 13: of dollars, right, and you would you would be fine
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 13: all night.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: That's totally changed.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 6: That's that's just your mental okay, right, That's just it's
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 6: mental space.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 6: If Magic City is like overly crowded. I'll go stand
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: by the bar and I might spend five one hundred
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 6: to one thousand dollars, you know, And by the way.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: Day that's a lot of money. Talk about a hundred
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: dollars thousand dollars at the bar.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying. Let me put this perspective.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 6: I said, what's happened the other night when Chris Brown
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 6: was in Atlanta? They spent two hundred thousand dollars in
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 6: Magic City. So my little five hundred to a thousand
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: that corner.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 8: Is like one hundred dollars. Man, Because I when.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 11: People say those numbers and I'm like, I don't believe it.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 11: I swear to God because I've been godred.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 8: Thousand God a hundred went to Chris, right.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: I've seen people want a undred thousand singles.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean one hundred went to Christ without a
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: doubt and magic in Magic they go when you when
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 6: you order the money, they bring a Magic City bag
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 6: and backpass for you backpack. So the backpack had a
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 6: hundred in it. Jadea waiter, y'all know, ja, she got
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 6: about a dog, right. I think maybe more p from QC.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 6: I think he ordered forty right then, and that you know,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 6: that's that's one sixty right there.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 8: Chris By himself had one hundred. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 6: So if you start splitting it up, I think Booo
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: probably got ten or fifteen twenty.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 8: You were two hundred fast.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 11: So when you was in the back of the day
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 11: with BMF, how much did you see them spend that.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 8: One on my album?
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 6: I have a conversation with Meach and he says he
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 6: spent six hundred thousand dollars one night.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: That's insanity, that's crazy. What's the most you spent? And
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: now using there with Jannet, what did you spend?
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 8: I mean, had I had a limit?
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: Like when everybody heard me say I spend ten thousand,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 6: that was my limit. So once I got to that ten,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 6: I wasn't trying. But by the way, I'm not in
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 6: that compete. I always felt like, you know, at one
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 6: point in time when BMF came or when BMF grew,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 6: because I've been in the club with Meet for a
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 6: long time before BMF was a crew like that, and
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 6: we used to be at the Gentlemen's Club back and
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 6: when you watched it the episode where Magic supposedly was
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 6: burnt down or whatever, and everybody went to the Gentlemen's Club.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 6: That's back in the period of time when I actually
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 6: met Meech and Meech didn't have the crew of people
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 6: with him, and we was in the Gentleman's Club, and
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 6: in the Gentlemen's Club, it was like, well he signed.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 6: We wasn't really throwing the money. We was just like
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 6: giving the girls the money, right. And that's that's where
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: the whole confusion about who started throwing the money came from,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 6: because I start I started doing this in Money and
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 6: the Thing video, and I know people want to say
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 6: they did it and did it when you find a
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 6: video that came out before Money and a Thing where
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 6: you see rappers throwing money like this, right, and that
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 6: I never had a Like it wasn't about me trying
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 6: to challenge nobody. It got it got to be like
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 6: when reaching them crew came and it was like, oh damn,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 6: they throw more money, we got to throw.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 8: It became like a money war. I was never I
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 8: was never part of that.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 11: When I think about Mariah Carey getting, you know, the
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 11: accolade she got the other night at the VMA, I
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 11: don't know if that happens without you. And what I
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 11: mean by that is Mariah had a fantastic career, but
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 11: that album was like a comeback album that kind of
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 11: solidified her forever.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 6: I was talking to her about this before yesterday, and
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 6: I was saying, like, it would have happened without me,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 6: but Mariah, listen, Mariah is such a New York hip
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 6: hop person that she wants to gravitate towards this shit, right,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 6: as opposed to like promoting the Boys the Men record,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 6: which was no song her first song of the decade.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 8: Right, she ain't even perform that song.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 6: The other night, Like you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 6: she got records that's bigger than the records I did
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 6: that She just like, yeah, you know we're gonna ready
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 6: do this tonight.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 8: This is what we're gonna do.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 6: I listen. I love it because I'm a part out
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: of it. But don't get it twisted. These songs is
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean? She got records that she
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 6: could do that's like hero, you know what I mean?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 6: These songs that's huge that made her Mariah has sold
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 6: thirty million.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 8: Records before I even worked with her.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying, Like that charm Bracelet, and
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 11: then that was it was that movie called I don't
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 11: even remember that.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: It was a bad it was dark.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but one one black Eye can't kill you.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: No, that's true.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 11: But then you came back to the mass vision of
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 11: me me, and that's that's a nuclear bomb.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: I mean that's not a normal album.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 6: I just I always look at that like, I'm really
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 6: I can't take credit for Mariah.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 8: She's she's who she is, and she was who she
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 8: was before.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 6: I you know, I'm just happy that she let me
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: be a part of the ride.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 11: I think that puts more pressure on you, though. And
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 11: what I mean by that is when you're tasked with
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 11: going in there with the iconic person already and creating
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 11: something that gets them, you know, back seeing the way
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 11: that they were seeing before that, you know, last flop.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 9: That says a lot that she was able to accomplish
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 9: that then to put press I would think so back then, nah,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 9: because I don't.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 6: Think about it like, you know, like the thing about
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 6: it is when I go in to studio people I
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 6: don't be like, I don't get caught up on what's
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 6: happening in their life. And I think that that was
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 6: what was going on in her life outside of the studio.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: I go in the studio and I'm like, I say
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 6: this all the time when I when I work with
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 6: Aretha Franklin. She made me realize, like, listen, if you're
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 6: gonna be in here working and I'm gonna pay you
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 6: and we're gonna let you get this credit, you better
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 6: say what you gotta say. If I sound bad, if
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 6: I don't even sound halfway good, she was like, tell
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 6: me to do it again. And I'm like, I can't
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 6: tell Rita Franklin. Nothing like this all Rita Franklin. But
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 6: the way she was talking to me was like, I
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 6: flew you here to Detroit to cut my vocals, So
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 6: what you're gonna do. You're gonna sit there and there
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 6: and watch me or if if that's I'm going home.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 8: That's what she told me. She's literally I'm going home.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 6: That's what you're gonna do. And that's when I set
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 6: there for me and I'm like, you know what, I
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 6: gotta do this. I just gotta be brutally honest with artists.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 6: And when it came to mancipationing me and me we
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 6: belong together. We made the song like listen, right if
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 6: you don't hit to know that at the end of
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: the record, the record ain't gonna be what people want
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: the record to be. They want you to that's that's
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: what they want. We got to give them what they want.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: And it was like nobody else wanted to say this.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 6: I had to say it, and I have to be like,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: you know, if you don't like me for saying what
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 6: is real?
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 8: Then while we in the room together.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 13: What was one of the artists that didn't like you?
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 13: Being brutally honest, I was like, Nah, this is not
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 13: for me.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 8: Nobody. I don't think nobody. I mean I think everybody
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 8: want they don't want to address it.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 6: But when it's right, they're like, oh, okay, you know,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: but a lot of them like you know bout I
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 6: didn't like Oh, I think they like me.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 13: Usher didn't like you wrestled with him every time you
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 13: understood that that's what's balance.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 6: But I'm saying Usher didn't like you make me want
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 6: them And you have to sit there and be like, man,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: why what do you what are.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 8: You listening to that make you not like this song?
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 11: What was it about the emancipation of me me that
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 11: got her back to where she needed to be. Was
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 11: it the freedom that maybe you provided because I started
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 11: Brat telling this story about how Tommy Matola got guns
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 11: pulled on you because you let Mariah go to burn I.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: Didn't let them do nothing. They pulled off and went
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 6: on their own. But yeah, we'll.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: Tell the story. I don't know the story, Okay.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: So the first time I started working with Mariah, I
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 6: decided to do it always be my baby remix, right.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 6: So I brought Escape and the Brat to her house
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 6: that was out in upstate with her and Tommy. And
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 6: this was the first time me I started bringing my
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 6: people around Mariah and I brought Brat.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 8: Her and Brat kicked it.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 6: They hit it off, and she convinced Brat or either
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: Bratt convinced her, let's take a trip in the car,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: just me and you.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: And go to McDonald's or some more together. He left
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 8: the ground without.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: Me knowing and showed up in the studio like what's
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 6: going on. I'm like, I seen what he was running
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: around like, and it always looking at me like, Jad,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 6: this your person? She done ran off with Mariah and
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 6: I'm like, what the Like that was a crazy moment.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 6: This is my first time being there. This is my
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: first time at her house and I bring something over.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 6: This was just like the story, you bring something over
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 6: to the house and.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 7: This is what happened.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 6: And I'm in the house like this, like I'm just
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 6: trying to make a record. Mand what the is going
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 6: on where you're at?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 8: I called her. She's like, we just getting some prize
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 8: and I'm like what, why why?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: And she was saying that Mariah, just like at that
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 6: period of time, Mariah was, you know, this was a
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 6: different type of successful.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 8: Life at this point celebrity.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 6: She wasn't the artist that could go outside and go
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 6: to McDonald's or she wasn't even doing that. Like, she
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 6: was sheltered in the house and she just wanted to
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: get out. And Brat was her her person that was
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 6: ready to go escape and do it.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 11: So was it that level of freedom you provided her?
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 11: That's what I'm called the emancipatient.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 6: Nah, Just I just think I think I make Mariah comfortable,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 6: right and I don't.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 8: I don't.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: I don't fake with her about the music that we
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 6: should make. And I think that's what makes her feel free,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 6: you know, free, because I'm telling her, I'm telling anybody
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: if you sing, make singing records man like and like,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 6: I get it. You want to rap, and I'm a
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 6: rapper at heart, but I learned how to make music,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 6: and I learned through the success that I've had that
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 6: these people want these records to sound like the records
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 6: that they know. The audience don't change, right, So I
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 6: just have to keep beating that in people's minds and
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 6: letting them know, like, listen, you might want to change
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 6: your stuff, but the person that's listening, they want the
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 6: new Mariah record to sound like the Mariah record that
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: they heard before.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 8: And that's always a hard fight with artists.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 9: Did you ever take the medicin?
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, No, she won't. She won't. She probably
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 8: won't go to that saying that ain't her that a
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 8: that ain't her bag.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 13: Now back to Usher, you said she didn't like make
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 13: make me want to? Yeah, why not?
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: What's the problem with that?
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 8: I don't know?
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: And how did you get them? How'd you force them
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: to finally do it?
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean I have to force him, but he
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: also just let me know it wouldn't. That wasn't where
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: he felt he should be coming with.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 8: At this point in.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 6: Time, Usher was still not sure where his career was
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: gonna go. So he's still cut the song, luckily, but
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: if we was in that space right now, he's not
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 6: gonna cut the song right now.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 8: He ain'tna be like, I don't know that song.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: Right now, he don't care if he don't like it.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 8: It's not even gonna get cut even right now.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 6: I would trust you to not he's gonna be like
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 6: that's right now. I'd be like, yo, usher, please cut
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 6: this song.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 8: Us should turn his phone off.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 11: Like when your name is mentioned fifty years from now,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 11: what's the one record or one artist you want to
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 11: define your leg.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 8: I don't know who the artist is. Somebody great.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 6: I mean I think, you know, I think like watching
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 6: Mariah get Van Gold Award and her performing in that
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 6: piece to of records that I did, I think that
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 6: means that means a lot, you know what I mean?
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 6: Like almost like you saying, it's like my records are
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 6: loud enough to make people, damn that believe that I
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 6: had something to do with her success. To me, that's
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 6: a mean accomplishment, because I didn't have anything to do
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 6: with her becoming who she is.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: No, that's not true.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 9: That's not true.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: I mean it's a second wave.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'm saying I think I think I might
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 8: have made more black people like her.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, but she's.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 8: Still rod cared.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but it says something You Me, I mean, I
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 9: mean it's the best album.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 8: I get it.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 9: You Meet Me is brock Carey's best album.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, That's probably the.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 9: Definitive album of her whole career.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: That's her thriller, it is.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: What's the hardest personal sacrifice you made for your career? Life.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 8: I don't really have no life. I just be making music,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean? And I have.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 6: People that tell me this all the time, like Jad,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: you know you don't really you my baby, and mother's
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 6: be saying it's like, you know you your life is
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 6: the music. All you do is care about the music.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 6: All you care about is putting out records. All you
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 6: care about it is doing what you're doing every day.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 6: And that's the truth.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 8: That's what it is. I don't care about nothing else.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 9: You enjoy the money on vacation.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: I mean that come along with it, but it ain't.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 6: That's not That's not a chase for me, Like my
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 6: chase is to be you know, like what they said
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: on the Billboard, I get number one, I feel like
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 6: I feel like I finally did something by getting number
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: one on that list.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: But that's never enough because you want more, not But now.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: It's like it's but it's also like fighting. It's like boxing.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: You gotta you gotta.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 8: Can you can you stay in that space? Right? You
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 8: know what I'm saying. It's like watching Floyd and Tyson
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 8: tug why they gonna fight.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 6: It's like Floyd retired, but he still want to be
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 6: the He want to be the best. You know what
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 6: I'm saying. It's like I'm not saying I'm retired. I'm
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 6: out here. So I just know that, you know, Like
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 6: I also know that it's space in hip hop and
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 6: R and B that hasn't been touched. What I'm doing,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 6: going from ninety two and being becoming the number one
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 6: producer the twenty first century in twenty twenty five ain't
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 6: been seen ever ever, Right, So if you start doing
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 6: they ain't never been seen. You don't have no reason.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: I don't have no reason to stop. I just gotta,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 6: you know, pray to God that don't stop.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 8: You know what I mean.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: It's funny.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: I wonder if hip hop had limits. J you Maine do
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: for you?
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 11: And what I mean by that is when people start
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 11: talking about, yo, who's the greatest producers of all time,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 11: They'll start, you know, naming a bunch of people who
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 11: do a lot of hip hop records. Right, But you
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 11: gotta just say Jamaine is a musician. If you if
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 11: you said Jamaine is is just a musical producer, then
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 11: I think the conversation is a little bit different.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I mean, I mean it's hard, man,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 6: because I feel like I switched from people. I switch
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: up on people so much. When I'm in R and
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 6: B mode, I'm not talking about no rap, right. I
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 6: remember one time I came up here and I was
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 6: so R and BT out, and I want, I'm waving
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 6: the flag for R and B and I ain't talking
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 6: about nothing rap. I think that confuses the podcast. The
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 6: guys that usually talk to me about they like, wait
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 6: a minute, I thought this was money anything.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 8: You you know what I mean? Magic City want to
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 8: make division records? You know what I mean?
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 6: I think that that that throws the whole thing off
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 6: because I do switch.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's how that's the only way I can
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 8: do it.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 6: That's the only way I can make it is to
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: get away from, you know, from one thing for a
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 6: minute and go into that space and be one hundred
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 6: percent in that space.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 11: Is there a media bias even towards the South, But
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 11: I think about that with the producers and the artists.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 11: So there's some artists from the South who should be
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 11: getting mentioned this top lyricists all the time, and some
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 11: producers from the South should be getting mentioned this top
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 11: of users.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: I just think that, and I want to I want
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 6: to get I want to shit thank a shout out
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 6: because I feel like it's interview with.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: Thug Fantastic pushes brilliant.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: Finally somebody in Atlanta to the forefront of hip hop
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: media in the city of Atlanta. And I think it's
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 6: taken thirty years for somebody in the city of Atlanta
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 6: to be the person that you have to sit down
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 6: and talk to if you that guy in hip hop
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 6: and he just made himself that person if you asked.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 9: I'm glad I'm saying that. I said it on the air.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 11: Regional identity matters in media and everything, and Atlanta has
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 11: been the hip hop capital for so long, but have
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 11: never had that meetings, Luther Grade streeting on.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 9: But they've never had that person.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 6: And I think that's the problem, is like every time
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: somebody from Atlanta that's popped, they always had to come
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 6: to New York and no disrespect, but I've been saying
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 6: it should have been somebody that did what he did
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 6: with Future Ludacris when Ti I got out of jail.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 6: We KNOWE had so many artists that had so many stories,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 6: but they missed the opportunity like what just happened with
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: Doug because we don't have that person in the city,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 6: and that just that goes to the culture like people
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 6: should Like I just saw the magazine out there with
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 6: you on the front, covered variety.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 8: I've never seen that before right in Atlanta.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 6: I don't think young people read and see things like
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 6: that to push them.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 8: To say, you know what, I want to do. What
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 8: Charlemagne doing?
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 8: I want to do what Envy doing?
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 6: He got cast show, Like they don't see that enough
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 6: to distract them. All they see is JD throwing money
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 6: and this money, I'm I'm gonna be a rapper. Nah,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 6: you ain't gotta be no rapper, you know what I mean?
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 6: Bank getting ready to hit the Bank. Absolutely, you know
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying based on way he just did that
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 6: one interview. As far as I'm concerned, if he do
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 6: what he gotta do and he keep it at that
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 6: level and the way he talked to him, it makes
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 6: you gonna have people that really want to sit down
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 6: and like, let you interview him the same way you did.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 9: And Big Facts has already been that platform to me.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah, right, And then now to see Bank doing the
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 11: perspective with banks, yeah, I agree with.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 8: But it took thirty years, That's what I'm saying.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 6: Took thirty years for somebody.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 8: To say, this is what we need. I'm gonna do
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 8: it like this, right, And I'm really happy to see that.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 6: I feel like that's gonna turn That's gonna change the
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 6: city because that's gonna people. Somebody gonna see that and
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 6: they gonna create another one, right, and at that point
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 6: that world will open up. Because when I came here,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 6: I think the beginning of me talking about Magic City,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 6: I was like, Yo, everybody in New York got a podcast.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 6: I mean everywhere I went, everybody got podcasts cluing them,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 6: got one across the street in a little bar, Jo,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: everybody fat Joe I was going to all of them.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 6: I mean, Carmelo nom out in Brooklyn. It's a podcast everywhere.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 6: I was just like this, this bug ain't hit Atlanta yet.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 11: Now they got them in Atlanta because you got big facts.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 11: You got bank, got eighty five South shows in Atlanta.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 11: You got four mind podcasts based out of Atlanta.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 8: Four y'all have about twenty out there. You know what
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 8: I mean. You know what I mean.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 6: It's just and they moving. Y'all got y'all got twenty
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 6: out here, that's moving. I'm just saying, these guys that
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 6: you like the eighty five South Show, I think that's
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 6: probably the closest next. But after that, it ain't no
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: real life. Ain't nobody you gotta talk to.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 9: Poor Mind is big you down.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 8: You ain't got to talk to them. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: I'm just talking about as far as like if you
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: want of these people, I feel like we don't have
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 6: We ain't had nobody that you have to talk to.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 6: Like if they was like call me Carla Wreck coming,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 6: they like jo Jamaine, who you wanna have an in
• 1:22:57

  Speaker 3: From Atlanta to you know, from.

• 1:23:10
  Speaker 6: Feel like Bank put himself in the category to get
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 6: you know, the Gucci mans, all of these people that
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 6: we want to.
• 1:23:16
