• 4:49
  Speaker 10: seemed right this year, and you know, I think he
• 4:52
  Speaker 10: was getting antsy, like he hasn't done much since twenty
• 4:55
  Speaker 10: fourteen with the you know, four for four project, and
• 5:00

  Speaker 10: first rule is like, you gotta do something that I
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: don't normally do. And you know, because he's hired me
• 5:12
  Speaker 10: a few times to do his goal party. I DJ
• 5:17

• 5:56
  Speaker 10: we kind of manifested this like this, this this whole
• 5:59
  Speaker 10: dream of doing this started back when the Roots were
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: living in London. We lived there for like three to
• 6:04
  Speaker 10: four years, right, playing all those festivals over there, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 10: it's like, yo, Philly don't know about like festivals like

  Speaker 4: And a really good amount of artists.
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: Like they really did a good job of getting away

  Speaker 9: of like people thinking like, oh, it's only going to
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: be real soul artists or this type of artist Like
• 10:58

  Speaker 3: How are you so good to see you?

• 12:13
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, do you still discover music through these
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: festivals and things?
• 12:16

• 12:20
  Speaker 2: important it is coming to things like this and being
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: like stage ready because of that, Yeah.
• 12:25
  Speaker 12: I think I think people have like I think Spotify
• 12:30
  Speaker 12: and Apple Music made people are artists believe that we
• 12:35
  Speaker 12: listen to all genres of music.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 12:39
  Speaker 12: I've never listened to like drumming bass. I wasn't a
• 12:44
  Speaker 12: big drummer, bassed art fan afrobeats, I wasn't really a
• 12:49
  Speaker 12: big afrobeas fan till you know, you start hearing records
• 12:52
  Speaker 12: that we can't deny, but just me knowing that I don't,
• 12:56
  Speaker 12: that's not really my space, right, So yeah, if you
• 12:59
  Speaker 12: come here and I hear some like this in the background,
• 13:01
  Speaker 12: like what is this?
• 13:01

  Speaker 2: having a good time. I think it's an energy thing
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: that I think a lot of artists today, younger artists
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: don't some of them don't understand.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: And I know you come from being outside, being with
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: the people.
• 13:21
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, you know that's funny because that's all
• 13:25
  Speaker 12: people talk about is being outside in this era of time.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: But these kids really ain't outside, That's what I'm saying.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: And when I say that, I mean, like, for instance,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: right like there are artists right now that will do
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: like a rolling loud in my opinion, sometimes before they're ready.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: It just happened with a young artist.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Her name is Trim, and I love Trim, but there
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: was a conversation about whether she was ready or not
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: for the stage.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: And I think as behind.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: The scenes as a team, you should really have those
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: conversations because people are discovering them through these sets. But
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they realize it because they're streaming
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and they're literally on streaming.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: W's in the chat so much?
• 13:55
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, but these artists don't, really, like you know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 12: should be coming to shows and just learning, right. I
• 14:03
  Speaker 12: think that's the biggest loss art in music right now
• 14:07
  Speaker 12: is that you don't see artists in the crowd. Wow,
• 14:11
  Speaker 12: oh yeah, don't ever when I was when I was like,
• 14:18
  Speaker 12: I want to say, fourteen or fifteen years old, Yeah,
• 14:23
  Speaker 12: I was here in Philly actually, and ll cool J
• 14:26
  Speaker 12: was in the audience in the audience ll.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Cool J and I probably know, like people don't.
• 14:31
  Speaker 12: That don't sound like realistic now, but I seen ll
• 14:35
  Speaker 12: cool J in the audience watching run DMC, and I
• 14:37
  Speaker 12: was like, I ain't know who he was, but I'm
• 14:40
  Speaker 12: saying as time progressed, I saw a video and I'm like,
• 14:43
  Speaker 12: I was there.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: He was in the crowd.
• 14:45
  Speaker 12: I'm like, that's ll cool J And he was just
• 14:47
  Speaker 12: in there studying, like the crowd how to rock a
• 14:50
  Speaker 12: mic like everything, And I feel like that's a lost
• 14:53
  Speaker 12: art in this.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that. Do you feel like? I mean, so,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: for instance, right, like the list I mentioned, you are.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: The the producer of the century according to Billboard, Right,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and then I know New York Times dropped their greatest
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Songwriters Living Songwriters thirty Greatest Living Songwriters of all time.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: You weren't on the list, and I just saw a
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: lot of people champion you to be on them.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like because a lot of people are
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: not like actually watching and learning what's really going on?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: That even though the industry of critiquing is a bit
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: off because people aren't understanding with like how things are
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: really moving, people like the work that you do.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Woose people.
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: Oh, I mean, I'm gonna answer the question about the list.
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: I think the list was more of clout chasing list
• 15:31
  Speaker 12: than anything, right. I mean as far as the who
• 15:37
  Speaker 12: put it out, was it the Time Times? Yeah, the
• 15:41
  Speaker 12: Times magazine. I think they was more or less about
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: names because that it's not a music magazine, so they
• 15:46
  Speaker 12: have to They was more about getting the eyeballs of
• 15:49
  Speaker 12: who the names that they put on there, and a
• 15:51
  Speaker 12: lot of the people that they put I won't say
• 15:54
  Speaker 12: they don't deserve to be on there, but they don't
• 15:56
  Speaker 12: deserve to be on there before me, right, a lot
• 15:58
  Speaker 12: of them.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: And I feel like that's what it was.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: It was more or less like.
• 16:01
  Speaker 12: The controversial those names and what you would say if
• 16:05
  Speaker 12: you saw these people names, if you see Jamade the
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: pre name on the thirty top, but it's not even
• 16:10
  Speaker 12: you're not even Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. You're
• 16:12
  Speaker 12: not You're not gonna argue about it. Like on the
• 16:14
  Speaker 12: Branchiast Club, y'all wouldn't have said nothing. Y'all have just
• 16:16
  Speaker 12: been like cover the listen.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm don't like the list. They feel like they're
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: just not legit no more.
• 16:22
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no, it's not. I mean, well, like I said,
• 16:24
  Speaker 12: it's more of a clout name list. To me, that
• 16:27
  Speaker 12: wasn't and I don't take that serious because that's not
• 16:29
  Speaker 12: a music magazine.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean I saw the people champing in for you.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing you say that. Of course you should have
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: been on there before whoever else. But do you think
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: that the age of being able to rank and have
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: those argument conversations of who's better than who is that dead?
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Or do we need that alone?
• 16:42
  Speaker 12: No, No, I think I mean that's what keeps us sharp.
• 16:44
  Speaker 12: You gotta have those conversations. That's what That's what makes me.
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: You know, even like I said, when I'm sitting here
• 16:50
  Speaker 12: thinking about it, you know it's nobody, nobody black in
• 16:54
  Speaker 12: the last twenty five years, artists black, artists that has
• 16:58
  Speaker 12: an album that had four number one singles on it,
• 17:01
  Speaker 12: Nobody black, Nobody besides Usher.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: So who would you have at least your top five?
• 17:12
  Speaker 12: I think Dyn Warren should definitely be there. I think
• 17:16
  Speaker 12: Rod Templeton. I don't know if I saw his name
• 17:19
  Speaker 12: on there, but he should have definitely been on the list.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Prince what living.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Living Living?
• 17:30
  Speaker 12: Okay, so babyface definitely Dyn Warren, uh myself and I
• 17:37
  Speaker 12: would I would say Lionel Richie. I don't think I
• 17:40
  Speaker 12: saw a line of Richie's name one there. Remember, Richie
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: has written some of some of the most incredible songs,
• 17:47
  Speaker 12: from The Commodore to his own record like just an
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: incredible songwriter.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I got you well, thank you for your time.
• 17:54
  Speaker 12: I haven't see you out the because that's right, that's right.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Hey, y'all, it's Laura len Rosa and I am here.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: We are at the Roots picnic, and y'all know we're
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: getting behind the scenes and I ran into one. Are
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the talks of the town right now? I mean, I
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: was gonna say right now, but it's like always with you?
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: How you feeling?
• 18:11
  Speaker 13: I feel amazing? Why am I always to talk? I
• 18:13
  Speaker 13: don't understand it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Wait, you don't understand it. So you want me to
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: start from what was most recent? The roast you were there.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It's fun. That was a good time. I had a
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: good time.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: It was a good time.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I saw you in your stream too, and you were
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: talking about just recapping the roads and all those things.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: First of all, I think it's so genius that you
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: got into the stream world because I feel like there's
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of narratives that are thrown on you that
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: like before, now you have control over you know.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: What I mean?
• 18:37
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, for sure, you know people they like to
• 18:40
  Speaker 13: build narratives, they like to run with them. They only
• 18:43
  Speaker 13: work when you ain't real.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: My Brandy just said that Monica is on the stage.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Right No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I do want I do want to talk to you,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: but I want to talk to you about the fact that,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: like we're here at Root's picnic, right, you talk about
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: being a talk of the town. We talk about Ruth's picnic.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I talked they Chappelle here too. Are so many surprises here?
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: No, I mean it's it's the culture though, right, You
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: got the roots, you got whole, you got branding, Like
• 19:07
  Speaker 13: what where else would you be if you love the culture?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: When you review this on your stream tonight or tomorrow,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: you going out tonight, you're gonna do it tomorrow.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I ain't doing nothing tonight.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, so till tomorrow, right, but you aren't stream. What
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: is the one thing that you're gonna say was the
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: was like that stood out the most to dreaming.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: The thing that stood out the most of me? This interview?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Why this interview me?
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: He didn't saying that because we're here with him right now, y'all.
• 19:31
  Speaker 13: I haven't done another interview. So it's the interview, oh
• 19:34
  Speaker 13: at all?
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Like non tense? Okay, So can we can we get
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: into the roast?
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Because you saw a lot of the backlash that like
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Kevin was getting all that you were there.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: People were saying that like the energy felt tense. Did
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: you feel that in the moment.
• 19:47
  Speaker 13: No, I didn't feel any tenseness in the moment, you know,
• 19:49
  Speaker 13: people were telling their jokes. I think the people that
• 19:52
  Speaker 13: the jokes were about handled it well.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I think the only way you.
• 19:55
  Speaker 13: Get the tenseness is if Cheryl don't handle the jokes well,
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: if somebody don't under the jokes, well, didn't it get sensed?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: But everybody lives, so there wasn't. I didn't feel it off.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like people were being too tough on
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Kevin Hart and what they thought he should have done
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: in respond to the George Floyd joke?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Listen, I think Kevin is amazing. I don't.
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: I don't think Kevin was going to hop up there
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: and stop the roses, you know. I think Kevin didn't
• 20:16
  Speaker 13: tell the jokes, you know. So overall I thought it
• 20:19
  Speaker 13: was a good ross. I enjoyed it. Everyone is going
• 20:23
  Speaker 13: to have an opinion, and it's not really up to
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: me to sit and judge someone else a being. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 13: think that's where people fall short, is when they sit
• 20:32
  Speaker 13: and want to judge with someone else thinks.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Who called you and asked you to be a part
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: of it? Was it Kevin or was it brad Netflick.
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: Yeah. I spoke to Kevin about it. The team from
• 20:41
  Speaker 13: Authentic Brands group they reached. I was with them and
• 20:44
  Speaker 13: we spoke about it. So but it was front through Kevin,
• 20:48
  Speaker 13: which was great, you know, to want to be wanted
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: in a situation like that.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: But you know, I heard a lot of people say
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: no because they just I think people can't he knew
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: certain jokes that they feel like because a lot of
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: comedian I can't joke back. Why did Draymond Green no
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: one where people would go with all the jokes right Like,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: why did you say.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Yes to that?
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: Because it's jokes right Like I sit and I joke
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: with my boys all the time. So there's nothing that
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: someone's gonna say that it's gonna be like, damn, they
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: got me. I'm from saging On, Michigan. I lived the
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: life I live, I've made the living that I've made.

• 21:23
  Speaker 13: they got me.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: So what does it matter?

• 21:38
  Speaker 13: I don't care about someone joking on me. A shame
• 21:41
  Speaker 13: on the man that can't take a joke.
