  Speaker 1: the bad boys of R and B. Now I understood that,
• 2:32

• 2:37
  Speaker 1: grain of what R and B music was looked at
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and hurt how I was hurt. We had the Scullies
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: on and you know, the black bulls and the Gene
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Secondeam so I think that's well, they just not the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: typical R and B. So they gotta be, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: bad boys. And then you guys had like a death
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Row affiliation and all that we're gonna get to. But
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: with with the with the scullies and the tims and stuff.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Was that really all because everybody was saying that I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: was an image that Uptown creating, it really wasn't. It
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was just that, um, you know, they came to idea
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: we didn't want to wear like the sequence suits and everything.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: We're like, well, that's not really us, and yeah, we

• 14:47
  Speaker 1: never heard y'all complaining about, you know, like how TLC
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: went through it with the label hustle man. I think
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: like when we came, it was more like we looked
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: at it like family. So it wasn't really because we
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: didn't get it for the money. We just thought. We
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: didn't know about the mindtil like, and when we wasn't
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: driving fancy cars and everybody was driving business and were
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: still catching the training, they don't look right, you know.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Then the questions started coming up. What was young? I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: was sixteen, jose came out, you know, so it was
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: all kids, We're having fun. You know. It's like you know,

• 15:15
  Speaker 1: We all start you know, teaming up in rooms while

• 15:19

• 25:41
  Speaker 1: you lying? Maybe that was acting crying because you know
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: script script. I've seen another performance where I seen it
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: was a blurdy somebody jumps off the stage and lands
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: on their back. Yeah, that looked like it hurt you
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: was tired. No, I wasn't tired that. What happened was
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I take what happened. No, what happened was I didn't
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: realize it's eighteen feet hot play. It's the top of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the same line as the top of the NBA back
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: ward right. We played that before, And I didn't know
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: they raised the stage up like I couldn't really see
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: because it was dark in the pit, and so and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I was saying something that I went to jump off
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: stage like always, and I I was falling like for
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: like thirteen minutes when I had to ground and I
• 26:27

• 26:29
  Speaker 1: can't get back. There wasn't no way to get back up.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: There too hot all night. Now, all I'm hearing is
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: a bunch of accidents. But you can see why people
• 26:40

• 26:48
  Speaker 1: dank got the stage last week when she drunk. True,
• 26:50

• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Roll affiliation. As Angela said earlier, what was that about? Well, uh,

• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and he wanted to do some stuff with you know,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: with death Ro artists, so he wanted to come in.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: That song was popping. Help Help, fix the situation with
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: what up town because he asked a bunch of questions
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: about you know, the financial things, like it was mentioned
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: earlier and he just came in. But we would never
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: signed a death roll, signed a night as far as
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sure did. He hated that though, because that was
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: like during the whole East coast West coast thing kind
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: of that's another whole story because I mean it's like,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you know, we didn't choose like to get him between that,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: but it just kind of thought them because you know

  Speaker 1: that she went puff and shill. But now what happened? Now,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: your brother's house got robbed in jurors and and people
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: were saying that we know, yeah, we need to know
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: sick y'all be digging for information and getting a bunch

• 28:17
  Speaker 1: one of the guys that unfortunately he's dead. We have

• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I was watching the video this morning, the Biggie singing. Uh.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: He was singing one of the Jordan's records. Yeah. And
• 28:52

• 28:54
  Speaker 1: freaking you remix? Okay, we can't get that one of
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the that's one of my favorite time. Now. The crazy
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: thing about it, there wasn't supposed to be uh, ghost
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Face and ray Kuana then supposed to be met the
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: man on that remix. I'm glad it turned out the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: way it did. Ghost one of the best verses ever
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: in the history of life. He did so Ray Kuan
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: did too. Yeah. First almost didn't even make it on
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: this come on man, because we recorded, like we recorded
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: a song the remix like maybe ten minutes and ray
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Kuan came and did this and ghost Face couldn't get
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: his verse. So I was like, and I went there
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: out He's like, man, let me try one more time.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: So we just left it off. It was just like
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: a blank space and the factory and he called me back.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: He said, man, let me, let me just try it
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: one more time. Because he had never rapped with R
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and B before. That was the first time the collaboration
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: came with him at R and B. And he's like
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: trying on more time. He came just killed. He freestyle
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: most of the verses. Yeah, but for the first couple
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: of bars it was written. Then he's lead to stow
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the paper on the boot, so I was trying to
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: imagine we had actually written down, but he just freestyle
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the rest of it. Wow, did you do you have
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: a good relationship with poccles? That just business? No, no
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: good relationships. It's good relationship man pop Man. Actually actually
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: they did a video toss it up and then before
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: he got shot and the top before the first time
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: he got shot, dam and he had asked me, heyok,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: he just asked me, yo man go to Vegas with
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting listen out and I'm glad I didn't go.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: But but Pop the relationship with pop Man, he was
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: real man. You know, he had love for us and
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: he loves its craft and he was just real man.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: He was just really let's talk about this new album.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: New album. What got guys got you excited to do
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: new music this time? Time? Man? It was time actually
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: album man, tish. Yeah, you guys been doing music together
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: though for quite some time. YE finally said let's put out. Yeah,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: put this out. We've been in the vaut and say
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: here we go. Did you like the R and B
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: music that's out? Now, that's one reason why I came back.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I figured that. I figured that. I mean, I can't
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: listen to radio no more, man, but you know that,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: But that that had to be a phase in Army
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: music for this music to come, because you know, those
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: music is are revolving door just like fast, just like
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: anything else. So at the time when we kind of
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: because we left with number one records on the ready
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: and we just didn't just fall off and be forced
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: out the industry. You know, music was changing at the time,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and we said, you know, let's just take a break
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and let the hip hop whole generation coming in. Now
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: this you know, rapping, singing and auto tune, all that
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: had to just transport. So instead of just like being
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: forced out the industry, I think we just took our
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: time away and now it's like the perfect time. That's
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: difficult for you guys because it's kind of like you
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: got to go through the new auto syndrome now because
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: now you got to teach the young kids who Joe
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to see is now, you know, I mean before you know,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: it's like to go back to what you did when
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: you first started doing interviews and clubs. And that's a
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: good question, like are you trying to gain new fans
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: or this album just for the day when Dan, Yeah,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I mean hardcore fans. But but if you think about it,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the new groups, you know what I'm saying, I'm pretty
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: sure if mom wasn't daddn't know about So they try
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: to tell them them, you know, that's what y'all need
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to be doing. Ain't here and we're doing this for
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: our own fans. Man. But you know, like Jodas is
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: a brand now, it's bigger than exactly. It's like most
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: of the new fans they know the name, don't know
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the members, and a lot of them don't even know
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Caseing Joda's part of Joda. See you know what I say,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. So I mean like even when they see
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: casing Jo Jodas, they only put the two together so
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I think that's what's exciting about this album as a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: new project. People that heard the name, heard the songs
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: can go back and do the history and it makes
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: it more exciting to do, like the walk up to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: what today is Jodac and go back. And because the
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: songs are pretty much timeless, you know, like coming talk
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: to Me, you can hit on the radio songs you
• 32:34

• 32:40
  Speaker 1: it again? But anyways, this's the way I feel m
• 32:46
