How did the music change when you got here? DJ Rubbaban: Yeah, like is it? Vince Haynie: You know what, you know what, here's what I found out. There wasn't no music change. Music was universal. And again, we're all tribal. And I found out Digital Underground had it all around the world, the same song. So they were on the dial too. Like I was on the dial. They probably in California, I'm speaking for myself, I was all over the dial in Chicago. I was in the White Hood. I was in the R Hood with Dan Fogelberg and all them cast air supply owner. DJ Rubbaban: Right. Right? Exactly, exactly. Vince Haynie: I don't know if my homeboys was listening to that when I was but I know we was all listening to Mick Jagger I've been waiting all along that played on the R &B station He played some some some white acts was on on the R &B station. They made that crossover But I would feel I don't know about my homeboys. I was all over the Dow because I just love music DJ Rubbaban: Why? Look at you. Right. But in 81, the transition was starting to happen with drugs being flooded into the ghettos. No, I'm not saying 81, but after 81, 82, 83, the drugs, it's just a ⁓ floodgate of drugs. it just made places like Compton, Lehanwood, Inglewood, South Central more aggressive. Vince Haynie: No, no, no, 81 now. Now I'm a senior in high I'm going say this, you're going say drugs. We always thought we'd see this day growing up in Chicago as teenagers. I started off high school in Chicago. I sold weed in high school, ninth, tenth, eleventh grade. We all sold weed. We all would buy, roll up 100 joints and take them to school with us every morning. So selling drugs in the neighborhoods I came from, that was a common thing. We didn't even see where it was made. Why? DJ Rubbaban: Right, but a certain kind of drugs, because they had pills and different kinds of drugs in the hood.
