  Speaker 2: changing the hearts, changing the minds, and changing and the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: only way you could really change a person is through

  Speaker 2: the gospel of Jesus Christ right, allowing the power of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: God to fall upon anyone that God has called.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But I just wouldn't say that.

  Speaker 2: this genre to push the gospel. So we get into
• 4:36

• 9:53
  Speaker 4: I'm at two guys that have ever changed my life.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: That would be Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin. We met them,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: we were when we were about sixteen years old. We
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: meet me and my childhood frind ll coole J. I
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: call him Todd. I just can't call him llll. I
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: just gotta say Todd. When I say Todd, I'm talking
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: about llll cole J. So when me and Todd met
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Rick and Russell, they were just thinking about starting in
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: a label called death Jam Records. They had one song
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: out before they kind of went south with the royalties.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: That was teler Rock It's Yours. Remember teler Rock It's Yours.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: That was a big song in the on the East Coast.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Rick was like, you know what, we're gonna drop that
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: song I need to Beat. That was our very first single.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: And when they've decided to drop I need to Beat,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: they dropped independalty. Nobody had any real money at that
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: point in time. Rick's parents came up with some cash
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: to pay for the market and pay for the pressing,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: pay for us to start going in the show. I
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: mean going on different shows around New York through Jersey, Philly,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Connecticut shows. That was driver both of us. We would
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: just drive out there, do the show and drive back
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: the same night.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: You know why.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: I had money for a hotel. So that's how it
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: started off for us. After that, my credits took off.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Eighty four us started producing Cool Jay. Then I started
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: doing the marketing for the label Deaf Jam Records. That
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: would be the posters bust out billboards. Then we went
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: on a couple of major tours with Run DMC, the
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Fat Boys, Curtis Blow, Sheila and at that point in time,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: the single was popping. Then we finally dropped the first CD,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: which was Radio, and Radio took off in a crazy
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: way because that song my radio. We actually did this
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: movie called Crush Groove, right. Crush Groove was a Warner
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Brothers release. It came out in nineteen eighty five. It
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: started run DMC, Sheila E. Curtis, blow the Fat Boys,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: introducing Blair Underwood and no Audition, and that movie wound
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: up being a huge hit in.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: All the theaters.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: So everybody saw the movie because at eighty five, not
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: too many hip hop.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Movies made to the theaters.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: So when people saw the movie, they heard the song
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: and they saw us performing the song. So at that
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: point people started buying our single thinking it was the soundtrack.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: So we sold a lot of singles and it was
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: off the racers from that point on.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: It Man, Man, Man, man, man, come on, come on, man,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you're talking my history.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Man, this is the roots. This is where, this is
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: when I first fell in.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Love with the genre. Man, I remember that movie. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: remember Crush Groove.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I remember.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: If I'm not if I'm not mistaken that at L
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: L had a scene on that movie where he came
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: in there to audition, and you was holding the box.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: The box.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Our cut creator was screenwright, our screen left LLLL was
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: in the middle and uh cut had the box. We
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: walked in the room. What's really interesting is the way
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: how that scene came about. It came about because every
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: single day we were extras on the set because at
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: that time Ellll was not a big name, he was
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: just getting started. The big names were run dmc, Sheila E. Kurz, Blow,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: the Fab Boys, New Audition and those guys, and this
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: was their movie. The producer George Jackson, God rest his soul,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: he's passed. I said, George, is there any way that
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: we could possibly get in? He said, let me tell
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: you something. This is like the fourth time you have
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: came to me with this. Your time's gonna come, but
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: right now it's their time. So sit back, just beat
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: the extras and we'll figure something out. So every day
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I'm looked at the side, So this day I looked
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: at the side, just said, hold up, there's an audition, right, George,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: is there anyway we can audition? Like right after the
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: girl walks out, we could just walk in there, act
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: like we're performing and jam masked Jacob. Actly, he's gonna
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: this and if you just the other room, let's give
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: it a shot.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Let's run the tape. After she comes out, y'all go
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: go right in and do your thing. Yo, you got something.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: She said, what are you talking about? She's moving box.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: So right after she came out, we walked in and
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I said box. He dropped it my radio and that
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: was one of the scene stealers for the whole movie.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Man, Man, Man, I vivid I remember vividly. Now.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: You gotta understand I was. I was a child back then,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I was probably like eleven
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: or twelve right when that came out, and that scene
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: is vividly in my memory. Like I remember when y'all
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: walked in the room. I remember how L jumped and
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: he pointed to the box. I remember how you was
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: jumping around. I remember how you was standing, you know
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: what I mean, you standing like this. Yeah yeah, I
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: remember all that. And I remember jam Aster Jay coming
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: out with the gun.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Yuh yeah. But but then y'all end up when over
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the crowd because it was dope.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Man. So man, I want to tell you it's a
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: honor me and my friends. Man, there was a group
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: of us that this genre really influenced us.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. We were living growing up
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: in Vegas. Believe it or not. We had gangs back then,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: We're banging and all that and whatever, and it was
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: all around in our neighborhood. But we fell in love
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: with the music scene so much to where we didn't
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: get involved.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: They knew us.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: We used to go out on the street corner and
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: we'd be practicing, we'd be rapping. You know, we were
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: trying to do our thing, and we kind of little
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: made a little name for us.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Back then. We were the Coastal Boys. You know. It
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: was like, you know, it was five of us, you
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: So so we did our thing.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: But man, I mean, y'all were our inspiration.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to tell you in right now,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going back, you know what I mean, to my
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: childhood days. And I you know, I'm in my mind.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I'm telling all my friends like, oh man, you know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: E Love is here. I'm talking to E Love, you
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. So I just wanted to say that,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, how does it how does it feel, man,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: to be one of the pioneers and one of the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: legends of this genre that basically took over because people
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: like priying to Michael Jackson had to take a back
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: seat to hip hop music.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny you said that because when we
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: dropped our second CD, which is called bad, right, which
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: is called bad, it's called Bigger and deafer. Bigger and
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: deafer means bad, and this guy named Michael Jackson, a legend.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Michael came out with the same song at the same time.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: So every time we did an interview, everybody had Michael's
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Michael was here.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: We were saying, they were comparing Who's bad right.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: So we finally met Michael when became the LA and
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Michael was like, Who's bad?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: The first ding he said was Who's bad? Right?
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I sat cracking up. I'm like sixteen years old. It
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: didn't really hit me of the magnitude till he said it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow.
• 17:00

  Speaker 2: you know, just some of the people and some of
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the groups, and I'm like, you know, whatever happened to you? Love,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Like I remember you were there, and if I'm not mistaken,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: you were kind of like a hype man for l J.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Probably one of the originals, right, me and.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Flay was like probably one and two of the original
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: hype guys in the game nineteen eighty nine, I got
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: shot eight times. I was actually in the hospital for
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: three years. I had to have two major operations, so
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: that kind of took me off the scene for a while.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So it took me like four years to really get back.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: So even after I was released from the hospital, to
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: get to get to strength back from something like that.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It's years. So I finally got back on my feet.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: I went back to school for write and producing, directing videos, documentaries,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: and film. I went to school in San Francisco and
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: started directing commercials for Levi, Gate BAYBCBG. Then some other
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: products came my way, like T Mobile. I jumped into
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: a T Mobile situation. We did the urban launch for
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: the T Mobile Sidekick in two thousand and two with
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: DJ Ski and Shaquille O'Neal.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Shaq was the face and DJ Ski.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: We had a company called Ski TV that my partner started,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: so we were shooting a bunch of music videos. So
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: we was putting the Tea Mobile sidekick in all the
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: music videos that we were shooting. So we had about
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: five number one videos around that stretch. Some of them
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I directed, some of I produced, and we wound up
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: selling forty million sidekicks for T Mobile. So I became

• 19:18
  Speaker 4: the game. With Peter Gation New York City nightlife in
• 19:21

• 24:51
  Speaker 2: c J crew that I swear he first stepped on
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the scene. But he told you and mentioned everything else
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: he's got going the top twenty logos and hip hop.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: He is the logo for a public enemy and it
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: was interesting and the boys legit man, he's a legit
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: go down check out his ig. He's been on a
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: lot of talk shows and he's got a lot of
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: things going, and it was interesting what he said. I
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: just wanted to highlight what he said about the HR genre.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: He's saying that there's no artists out there, and if
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: there is an artist that comes out, they don't stick
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: around long. Wow, what do you think about that? They
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: don't stick around long? In other words, when we do
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: get an artist rise up in our genre, they want
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: to jump ship and go over and do secular once
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: they get a little traction or something. If we would
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: just stay steadfast in the lane God has given us,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: we would get more respect and we would make more
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: of an impact. Now this is alleged, you know, this
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: is e Love. He's got the the credentials. Man, he's
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: got the wait, he's got the authority to speak on
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: it because, like I said, he was there when it
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: all happened.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: He was one of the pioneers.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I just want us as a community, see
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: each community think about that, think about us not having
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: an artist and when we do, they don't stick around.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: That's something we need to pray about. That's something we
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: need to go to go to war for in prayer
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and see what's going on. And let's let's be the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: ones that stick around. Let's be the ones that make
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: a difference in this genre. All right, If you want
• 26:41
