- 9:50Speaker 5: Well, me and my brother was in the womb, but
- 10:01Speaker 5: we had this group when we first got to Atlanta.
- 10:04Speaker 7: You know, we was about fifteen years old.
- 10:06Speaker 5: Not we first got there, but when we first started singing,
- 10:09Speaker 5: and it was two other guys and we sang it
- 10:11Speaker 5: this church picnic. Kyle was at the church picnic. He
- 10:14Speaker 5: came to us at the church, but he said, listen, man,
- 10:16Speaker 5: I got a group. Once y'all drop the other two
- 10:18Speaker 5: and come get with it.
- 10:22Speaker 7: So we didn't know that though.
- 10:26Speaker 5: We used to see kyl Ord anyway because me and
- 10:28Speaker 5: him was basketball players and his cousin was playing on
- 10:32Speaker 5: our team.
- 10:33Speaker 7: So we knew each other from that in passing.
- 10:35Speaker 5: And then once we actually sat down and talked and
- 10:37Speaker 5: we realized he could sing two, we put it together.
- 10:40Speaker 5: It was another member at first, and uh, he fills
- 10:44Speaker 5: without somewhere along the way, and we picked up Winger
- 10:47Speaker 5: and you know what I mean. I've been together ever since.
- 10:49Speaker 5: This is about fifteen that we've been in this group.
- 10:51Speaker 9: Now, now, where did the name come from?
- 10:52Speaker 5: The name came from if y'all remember, think back to
- 10:55Speaker 5: I think I want to say like ninety one ninety two.
- 10:58Speaker 5: It was a group came out of Atlanta called a
- 11:00Speaker 5: Good Men. They were signed to the face so just
- 11:03Speaker 5: the name of their their group got me looking at
- 11:06Speaker 5: movie titles. And during this time, I was happen to
- 11:09Speaker 5: be at Candy House, right and she had all these movies, like.
- 11:12Speaker 7: All these just you know, rolls of movies.
- 11:14Speaker 5: And I started looking at the movies and when I
- 11:17Speaker 5: seen the movie, jagged it It's almost like it jumped
- 11:19Speaker 5: out like.
- 11:19Speaker 7: Hey, you know what I mean?
- 11:21Speaker 5: And so I said to them and everybody was like yeah,
- 11:24Speaker 5: Like not one person pushed back.
- 11:26Speaker 7: Everybody was like here, that's a dope.
- 11:28Speaker 17: And this was after y'all were already signed to You
- 11:31Speaker 17: had a relationship with Candy before?
- 11:33Speaker 7: Yes, only like a year, like a year prior to
- 11:37Speaker 7: us signing.
- 11:37Speaker 18: Okay, And what was the relationship was it just like
- 11:39Speaker 18: music stuff.
- 11:40Speaker 5: Like well we went to school, We're gonna went to
- 11:42Speaker 5: school with Candy. They was in high school together, graduated.
- 11:45Speaker 5: So when we did our demo, he had took the
- 11:47Speaker 5: Candy House just playing it for just like you know,
- 11:49Speaker 5: getting her approval. Wasn't even trying to get a deal
- 11:51Speaker 5: or nothing. She liked it so much. She was like
- 11:53Speaker 5: she called win the one day like you still in
- 11:55Speaker 5: that group, y'all still are still trying to get a deal.
- 11:58Speaker 5: He was like, yeah, so we made the deal. Can
- 12:00Speaker 5: if you get us a deal, you can manage us.
- 12:02Speaker 5: She got us a deal, so she was our first manager.
- 12:07Speaker 17: She gets to the money in the business side. How
- 12:10Speaker 17: was she has a manager in the early days, I
- 12:11Speaker 17: mean she was getting a.
- 12:12Speaker 7: Seat with us.
- 12:15Speaker 19: But I'll always tell anybody like as far as being
- 12:18Speaker 19: an active artist and trying to manage, you know, manage
- 12:20Speaker 19: somebody's like having a kid, right, you know what I mean,
- 12:22Speaker 19: you gotta be up for them five thirty phone calls
- 12:24Speaker 19: and it's just a lot.
- 12:26Speaker 15: You know what I mean.
- 12:26Speaker 5: So, and also to shout out to Tiny too, because
- 12:29Speaker 5: she was just as instrumental. Without Tiny she was like
- 12:33Speaker 5: the direct link to JD on the business side, you
- 12:36Speaker 5: know what I mean.
- 12:36Speaker 14: So without her, when I how instrumental was the Jamain
- 12:39Speaker 14: dupree uh with y'all now, Like, do y'all still like
- 12:43Speaker 14: call him about you know, for all original parts Volume one?
- 12:46Speaker 5: I know, I mean, you know, Jamain, that's our guy forever.
- 12:50Speaker 5: But as much as I love Jamame, I hit ja
- 12:53Speaker 5: man about all kinds.
- 12:55Speaker 7: But you know, it's it's rough to get right, to
- 12:59Speaker 7: be honest, if he ain't a part of it.
- 13:01Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying.
- 13:02Speaker 5: I've had I've had a tough time getting his involvement
- 13:06Speaker 5: in things that he wasn't really spearheaded honestly, Jamaine is
- 13:10Speaker 5: why we are writers and producers, were at least producers.
- 13:12Speaker 5: We was always writers, But through dealing with him, we're
- 13:15Speaker 5: not like, you can't just put us on the back burner.
- 13:17Speaker 7: We're not you know what I mean. You can't tie
- 13:19Speaker 7: our hands, you can't.
- 13:20Speaker 5: So we figured out how to go make beats ourselves,
- 13:22Speaker 5: you know what I mean, learn how to play the
- 13:24Speaker 5: keys ourselves, learn how to do this stuff for us.
- 13:26Speaker 5: So he's a big reason why I'm not saying the
- 13:28Speaker 5: negative way, just understanding that it takes more than just
- 13:31Speaker 5: one man that to stop what we try to, you.
- 13:32Speaker 11: Know what I'm saying.
- 13:33Speaker 20: And one thing about us, man, we're not petty, you
- 13:35Speaker 20: know what I'm saying. That for us, we kind of
- 13:37Speaker 20: respect the blessing. So we respect the blessing and keep
- 13:41Speaker 20: it moving. But we was already a selc contained, already writing,
- 13:45Speaker 20: was already but we're gonna wear on the show. So
- 13:48Speaker 20: we really didn't need anything but the money. I guess.
- 13:53Speaker 7: A bunch of money. We need nothing but everything but yeah,
- 14:00Speaker 7: but much family.
- 14:03Speaker 10: We just knows a lot of bashing when it comes.
- 14:06Speaker 7: Yeah, none of that. We ain't doing that.
- 14:08Speaker 5: What did y'all leave Social Death and why we actually
- 14:12Speaker 5: Social Death left us. You know, he had a situation
- 14:15Speaker 5: with Columbia. They couldn't get on the same page, so
- 14:18Speaker 5: he left and went to what do you go.
- 14:22Speaker 7: First?
- 14:22Speaker 5: Right, So he went to Arista, and Columbia basically told
- 14:25Speaker 5: him if you want them, you'll have to pay it
- 14:28Speaker 5: for a football team. And Jenny was like, I don't
- 14:31Speaker 5: want him that bad. Let him take us, and so
- 14:42Speaker 5: we wanted to go. But you know what I mean,
- 14:44Speaker 5: it wasn't in the cars at the time.
- 14:45Speaker 9: When you left that time, that's when it completely stopped.
- 14:47Speaker 6: He never said I'm not writing for your producer because
- 14:49Speaker 6: you weren't on the label at that time.
- 14:52Speaker 7: We got back together what you made?
- 14:53Speaker 5: Two different times we went, we went to Death Jenuine
- 14:57Speaker 5: you made and then we did an album with two Jamn.
- 15:00Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean we've we've You know, the music game.
- 15:03Speaker 5: In itself is a complicated business, and I think you know,
- 15:07Speaker 5: keeping your relationships tight is something that you have to do.
- 15:10Speaker 5: But at the same time, if you can't get on
- 15:12Speaker 5: the same page with somebody, you have your own goals
- 15:15Speaker 5: and your own dreams, and that's what you got to follow,
- 15:18Speaker 5: you know, And that's what we did.
- 15:20Speaker 14: Knowing that you're still like, let's get married and promised
- 15:24Speaker 14: and all that. Like, how does that feel that the
- 15:26Speaker 14: know that I just saw a video that went viral
- 15:28Speaker 14: with somebody had proposed to a girl reactions from other
- 15:37Speaker 14: than being funny and they should have picked somebody else, like.
- 15:41Speaker 7: Like, knowing that that still hit It's love, man, It's
- 15:46Speaker 7: an amazing feeling.
- 15:47Speaker 5: Like you know, we saw much the other day, Like
- 15:49Speaker 5: we definitely didn't get it to be a one hit wonder, right,
- 15:52Speaker 5: and we definitely wanted to have a career that was
- 15:54Speaker 5: filled with longevity. So when you see things like that,
- 15:57Speaker 5: you realize you don't hit your mark a little.
- 15:58Speaker 7: Bit, you know what I mean. But we ain't done no,
- 16:00Speaker 7: but yeah, it feels good.
- 16:01Speaker 14: Trying an interview, uh, Dad, Like threw y'all off of
- 16:05Speaker 14: a tour.
- 16:10Speaker 5: You know, like when it happened, somebody said to us,
- 16:13Speaker 5: y'all gonna be talking about this for the rest of
- 16:15Speaker 5: and the right y'all still.
- 16:18Speaker 7: Be talking about I know what happened.
- 16:21Speaker 5: So basically, we was on tour with Desney Child and
- 16:24Speaker 5: at the time Matthew was our manager, so we were
- 16:26Speaker 5: sharing the tour bus us and Deny Child.
- 16:28Speaker 7: We all on't want to.
- 16:29Speaker 5: Was that bus, and so you know, I think it's
- 16:34Speaker 5: probably well documented that LaToya has had different issues with
- 16:37Speaker 5: you know, the crew. This particular night, Latoya's mom was
- 16:42Speaker 5: on the rolls shout and miss Pam obviously had issues
- 16:47Speaker 5: with the crew. So Matthew called, even though he wasn't
- 16:49Speaker 5: in the city. He called back to the role manager like,
- 16:52Speaker 5: you know, miss Pam ain't getting on that bus, and
- 16:54Speaker 5: we was.
- 16:55Speaker 7: Like, well, we're not leaving her in the middle of Louisa, So.
- 16:59Speaker 5: She is gonna get on the bus that dude, had
- 17:01Speaker 5: the police called on us, had us removing y'allus. So yeah,
- 17:07Speaker 5: I mean, but you know, we just felt like, whatever
- 17:09Speaker 5: the issue is, it can't be that serious that you're
- 17:11Speaker 5: gonna leave somebody out here.
- 17:12Speaker 7: Right, you're here and you're not even here with somebody.
- 17:16Speaker 7: If it was your mom.
- 17:20Speaker 20: Was right, hey man, you know we're from the South
- 17:22Speaker 20: and you know, so we kind of felt that, like, man,
- 17:26Speaker 20: we're Mama's boys, and we had an obligation, but we
- 17:29Speaker 20: wanted to.
- 17:30Speaker 21: Matthew, you by the Bathrow at one of your concert
- 17:36Speaker 21: you're gonna have yourst so shouts out to Matthew, but
- 17:40Speaker 21: not going by that band.
- 17:42Speaker 17: The story goes because you were doing the tobby at
- 17:44Speaker 17: the time, Brendon. And then so she told the story
- 17:47Speaker 17: in the radio station. She was saying that you took
- 17:49Speaker 17: up for the group like you were the one about
- 17:50Speaker 17: to go off, So you was at the bathroom.
- 17:52Speaker 7: Y'all did. But I mean, I definitely I went in
- 17:54Speaker 7: the room with the girls.
- 17:55Speaker 5: You know, I just seen it like like I said,
- 17:57Speaker 5: like if it was my mother, it would have been
- 17:59Speaker 5: worse than now, like I would have turned it would
- 18:02Speaker 5: have it would have gotten nasty and ugly. So I
- 18:04Speaker 5: didn't want it to go that far. So I tried
- 18:05Speaker 5: to have a conversation with the girls. I couldn't talk
- 18:08Speaker 5: to Matthew. He didn't he didn't make himself available. But
- 18:11Speaker 5: you know, I tried to make the other girls, who
- 18:13Speaker 5: you know was in the group with LaToya, you know,
- 18:16Speaker 5: support her, and they all just kind of let me
- 18:18Speaker 5: know that they had different issues with LaToya and her
- 18:21Speaker 5: mother and that's why it was this bad. And even
- 18:24Speaker 5: to be fair of them, because I talked to Kelly
- 18:25Speaker 5: about this after that, and it got to a point
- 18:27Speaker 5: where she even felt like, well, at this point, it's
- 18:29Speaker 5: out of my hands. Once Matthew took control of it.
- 18:31Speaker 5: They didn't feel like they even had much of us
- 18:33Speaker 5: say anyway, So.
- 18:34Speaker 6: You know what I mean it is I didn't want
- 18:36Speaker 6: to ask too. They used to put One twelve against
- 18:38Speaker 6: you guys, right, and it was it was a thing?
- 18:41Speaker 6: Was it ever a beef or was it just always fun?
- 18:43Speaker 5: It was Charlemagne did it man? Man, it was never
- 18:52Speaker 5: a real beef. Like I don't know how many people
- 18:54Speaker 5: know this with them guys like brothers stuff, Like out
- 18:57Speaker 5: of all the male groups we've been on shows with
- 19:00Speaker 5: just been around or in our era, I should say
- 19:02Speaker 5: One twelve is our closest friend.
- 19:05Speaker 7: So yeah, it was never a real beef. But it
- 19:07Speaker 7: got a little test.
- 19:07Speaker 9: Yet, at what point it will happened?
- 19:09Speaker 7: What was the reason?
- 19:10Speaker 5: When he's coming back from a tour we was on
- 19:13Speaker 5: and we was pulling into the city and me.
- 19:14Speaker 7: And we heard kicked them out the.
- 19:19Speaker 5: We just heard them on the radio talking's a trash
- 19:21Speaker 5: and me and Cot just being a beeline and where
- 19:23Speaker 5: they was at.
- 19:24Speaker 10: I'll take my britage.
- 19:28Speaker 7: It was just me and he.
- 19:29Speaker 5: We knew how was that.
- 19:30Speaker 7: We didn't even care.
- 19:31Speaker 5: We was ready to do whatever it had to be
- 19:33Speaker 5: done with that back was something they were doing something.
- 19:37Speaker 7: They were doing something and live remote.
- 19:39Speaker 5: But you said something like how could Jack it be
- 19:42Speaker 5: the best group they got to They only got two
- 19:44Speaker 5: lead singers, a cheerleader on a rock rock man.
- 19:47Speaker 7: And I said, hey, wow.
- 19:54Speaker 12: That guy.
- 19:57Speaker 1: We nothing.
- 19:57Speaker 7: It happened like nothing happened. We want man was I
- 20:01Speaker 7: guess we bro.
- 20:03Speaker 19: And I honestly think like Ryan because they were trying
- 20:06Speaker 19: to They were trying to put us on tour together.
- 20:08Speaker 19: So Ryan was trying to create something to like to
- 20:11Speaker 19: drive the traffic.
- 20:12Speaker 7: But you can't tell enough. He was taking a second and.
- 20:17Speaker 8: We were talking about really good you know what I
- 20:19Speaker 8: meant to say that nowhere.
- 20:23Speaker 15: Doing that?
- 20:25Speaker 18: How often do people bring up the Cisco fight?
- 20:31Speaker 7: That man his wa.
- 20:38Speaker 5: Messag do some clips in there? Were trying to do
- 20:47Speaker 5: something about how you say top I had to sun them.
- 20:51Speaker 4: So it wasn't about nothing.
- 20:54Speaker 19: It was messing around, yeah right, and it ended up
- 20:57Speaker 19: getting you know, and then you know, I guess he
- 21:01Speaker 19: ended up.
- 21:03Speaker 1: He said, yeah, yeah, he was getting.
- 21:06Speaker 10: I was chilling and I ain't fornadu.
- 21:11Speaker 20: I know I wasn't the aggressive, okay, but I went
- 21:14Speaker 20: with the boys chill out and if you can.
- 21:17Speaker 10: It's on the video if you can see.
- 21:19Speaker 20: I'm like, yo, man, chill out, and he was trying
- 21:21Speaker 20: to like, oh man, I'm losing this, You're gonna lose.
- 21:25Speaker 7: He didn't throw not one. He wasn't really doing the
- 21:29Speaker 7: like ya the walk out look fast and everybodyself and
- 21:35Speaker 7: was already gone.
- 21:37Speaker 5: So we go.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Your squashed all y'all, y'all you.
- 21:43Speaker 5: Know you know, you know what quiet as it kept?
- 21:49Speaker 5: We all the groups, some of them had issues with us, everybody, man,
- 21:54Speaker 5: straight up, I got respect for all of them all that, So.
- 21:58Speaker 7: What is gonna be?
- 21:58Speaker 14: What can we expect different from all Original Parts? Like
- 22:01Speaker 14: where did that title come from?
- 22:02Speaker 5: You?
- 22:03Speaker 14: And just for the record, y'all know they're not bumping
- 22:05Speaker 14: this in No Trains Disco.
- 22:07Speaker 9: All Original Parts, you stupid.
- 22:10Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
- 22:11Speaker 4: That's crazy.
- 22:20Speaker 7: That's to.
- 22:25Speaker 5: Just signifies the fact that since groups have been a thing,
- 22:29Speaker 5: they've all broken up, you know what I mean, And
- 22:31Speaker 5: Jackson's broke up, even Jackson, So you know, us being
- 22:36Speaker 5: the one group who's never broken up, we wanted to
- 22:38Speaker 5: kind of capitalize on that.
- 22:39Speaker 7: That's why it's called All Original Parts.
- 22:43Speaker 6: When y'all made some of those classic records, and do
- 22:45Speaker 6: y'all know they were gonna be smashed as as soon
- 22:47Speaker 6: as you made it?
- 22:47Speaker 9: Like when you made Let's Get Married, you made promise.
- 22:50Speaker 10: Did y'all know like this is gonna be it?
- 22:52Speaker 7: We did? Kind I ain't gonna lie like we did.
- 22:54Speaker 5: You know, even when you look at songs like he
- 22:56Speaker 5: Can't Love You, right, every song we ever put out,
- 22:58Speaker 5: we understood what it should be doing, Like we understood
- 23:01Speaker 5: the only reason to drop he came before Let's Get
- 23:03Speaker 5: Married was because he can't sounded like nothing on the radio.
- 23:07Speaker 7: We knew Let's Get Married was gonna be the business song.
- 23:10Speaker 5: But we knew if you come in a song like
- 23:11Speaker 5: this it sounds like nothing, it's gonna make that role
- 23:13Speaker 5: for Let's Get Married even bigger.
- 23:15Speaker 6: And we kind of gonna be that legacy song that
- 23:20Speaker 6: when y'all going your kids, going to your kids, kids going.
- 23:22Speaker 5: To this man was mad that we dropped he can't
- 23:26Speaker 5: love you.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Let's Get Married.
- 23:31Speaker 7: It just did something to.
- 23:32Speaker 1: You know what, I'm like, what man, you don't want
- 23:37Speaker 1: to drop this on?
- 23:38Speaker 19: But that's why I never put my opinion on the
- 23:40Speaker 19: record like that, You know what I'm saying, Because at
- 23:42Speaker 19: the end of the day I knew he can't Love
- 23:44Speaker 19: you was super dope.
- 23:45Speaker 7: It was a smash.
- 23:46Speaker 19: But let's get married, and you know again, I'm one
- 23:48Speaker 19: of them anxious guys.
- 23:49Speaker 14: You know what, it's the setup and promise, Brandy, you
- 23:55Speaker 14: wrote that for me, for.
- 23:59Speaker 5: Me, I've been feeling this question. She did that interview. Listen,
- 24:08Speaker 5: we're we're a teen song. We're a songwriting team, right.
- 24:12Speaker 5: No matter what my piece of the song may be about,
- 24:15Speaker 5: that don't mean the whole.
- 24:17Speaker 7: Song is about that, you know, because.
- 24:20Speaker 5: I think when you're a songwriter, it's not always an
- 24:23Speaker 5: exact story. Sometimes it's pieces of a story that you're
- 24:26Speaker 5: turning into one story. So, yeah, there was a piece
- 24:29Speaker 5: in there about the time.
- 24:30Speaker 9: Yeah, all we got more with Jagged Edge. When we
- 24:33Speaker 9: come back, Let's get into their new joint. It's called
- 24:36Speaker 9: just Might Get It. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning.
- 24:38Speaker 10: Now.
- 24:39Speaker 6: I feel like nowadays, brothers don't beg for the vagina.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Don't make the girls.
- 24:48Speaker 14: Don't make it that they don't that the girls don't
- 24:51Speaker 14: make them.
- 24:54Speaker 18: Can't.
- 24:57Speaker 1: He was outside her house.
- 25:00Speaker 10: Back then.
- 25:01Speaker 20: You know, you had to lead up and just like
- 25:03Speaker 20: you know, you go take about an hour and a half.
- 25:06Speaker 5: You were like, hell, press to not let it go.
- 25:11Speaker 5: So it's just a lot different now. I think that's
- 25:13Speaker 5: you know, it's too much homeboy love out there. Man,
- 25:16Speaker 5: It's all good to have your.
- 25:18Speaker 14: Homeboy music about the guys.
- 25:24Speaker 5: I mean nothing that necessarily like you need your team, right,
- 25:29Speaker 5: that's necessary thing. You don't want to put too much
- 25:31Speaker 5: attention there and then your girl feeling some type of moment.
- 25:37Speaker 10: But you see in the club, I mean v I P.
- 25:39Speaker 10: Section for the girls are like back.
- 25:42Speaker 5: In the day used to be like everything because because
- 25:45Speaker 5: like sometimes I see them talking and he was like, man,
- 25:47Speaker 5: I'm gonna killing when I hit the streets, and then
- 25:49Speaker 5: we needed to be like, I'm.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Gonna kill him.
- 25:55Speaker 14: You used to dress back in the day, what do
- 26:00Speaker 14: you think of like an R and B group? You
- 26:02Speaker 14: know it's nice and you know, dress about to shoot
- 26:11Speaker 14: the thist game.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Like some thug.
- 26:19Speaker 6: I used to love saying about video like, all right,
- 26:23Speaker 6: you got into a car wrass, we broke your neck.
- 26:25Speaker 5: Well, I was in two car accidents inside of like
- 26:27Speaker 5: nine months.
- 26:28Speaker 7: Damn.
- 26:29Speaker 5: The first one, I just broke my leg in two places.
- 26:32Speaker 5: I had some risk contusions and a not on my head.
- 26:35Speaker 5: And then the second one.
- 26:36Speaker 1: What happened in the car.
- 26:37Speaker 7: Did you fall asleep or I.
- 26:39Speaker 5: Was coming down the street like you know how Atlanta,
- 26:41Speaker 5: we got all those you know, do a you turn
- 26:43Speaker 5: to turn?
- 26:44Speaker 7: So I'm coming this way.
- 26:46Speaker 5: It was a car sitting right here, and I'm knowing
- 26:49Speaker 5: he see me. I see him, and as I get
- 26:51Speaker 5: this close, then he wants to turn. Even though I
- 26:53Speaker 5: stopped my breaks as hard as I could, I still
- 26:55Speaker 5: hear him. He was at fault, Like I said, just
- 26:58Speaker 5: tore my car up, tore me up. But the next
- 27:00Speaker 5: one was really That's what really meant, jack knife tea
- 27:03Speaker 5: to call a t bone when somebody writing the middle
- 27:06Speaker 5: of your car. I was sitting down a light and accident.
- 27:09Speaker 5: I'm sitting down a light and I hear these shots
- 27:12Speaker 5: rang out. Next thing, you know, I guess the person
- 27:14Speaker 5: who got hit. He lost control of his vehicle and
- 27:16Speaker 5: he just swirred right into my vehicle.
- 27:19Speaker 7: On the driver side. I broke my neck. I had
- 27:23Speaker 7: five broken rivers on this side. One on this side.
- 27:26Speaker 7: I got a stout laceration right here. A lot of
- 27:29Speaker 7: it was a lot with that one.
- 27:31Speaker 17: I know, it's pretty emotional for Hall. We talked about it,
- 27:34Speaker 17: and you got emotional for the rest of you guys
- 27:35Speaker 17: when y'all heard about the second accident, like what were
- 27:38Speaker 17: you guys reaction and like kind of.
- 27:40Speaker 18: What was that like for y'all as well?
- 27:41Speaker 20: I was I was scared because I didn't know what
- 27:45Speaker 20: you know what I say, and I'm gonna keep it.
- 27:48Speaker 20: I don't have my license, but don't worry about that.
- 27:51Speaker 7: This ma ain't never had a license. Ain't never.
- 28:06Speaker 20: But but I mean, you know, my wife was like,
- 28:08Speaker 20: you know, once I heard it, I'm like, babe, I
- 28:10Speaker 20: got to get out of here. I'm damnar falling down
- 28:13Speaker 20: the steps to get my older and but in my
- 28:17Speaker 20: mind I'm just praying. I'm like, Lord, please don't come.
- 28:20Speaker 20: I mean, it's such a cliche, like I say, to
- 28:22Speaker 20: hear about artists playing accident, motorcycle accident, car wreck. So
- 28:27Speaker 20: I'm like and then it's like this is the second one,
- 28:30Speaker 20: you know, And so we got up there. When I
- 28:32Speaker 20: got there because I know the other guys are showing up,
- 28:34Speaker 20: I seen him and I'm like, okay, okay, he's not well.
- 28:38Speaker 7: But it's still him.
- 28:39Speaker 10: He won't take a Nick braainstor.
- 28:46Speaker 5: I'm like, he was in pain, and like for me,
- 28:50Speaker 5: you know it was the worst day of my life.
- 28:51Speaker 5: Ain't gonna ask you because the way I heard because
- 28:54Speaker 5: somebody told me. First they told me he got shot
- 28:55Speaker 5: because they heard the gun shots. They said he got shot,
- 28:58Speaker 5: then he got hit. So you know this, my guy,
- 29:00Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 29:01Speaker 7: Like, yeah, you know what I mean. I can't say
- 29:05Speaker 7: about it.
- 29:12Speaker 19: Yeah, and for me, I mean, you know again, I'm
- 29:15Speaker 19: gonna always say this, man, A family that prays together
- 29:17Speaker 19: stays together, you know what I mean.
- 29:18Speaker 7: So I merely just dropped on my knees, man and
- 29:21Speaker 7: sent one up. You know what I mean. God fixed this.
- 29:23Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. That's leave it and put
- 29:24Speaker 7: it in your hands.
- 29:28Speaker 6: Do you look at life differently as a group and
- 29:30Speaker 6: just people, because it has to change the way you
- 29:32Speaker 6: look and the way you move. So when you say
- 29:35Speaker 6: good bye to your girl and your wife and your kids,
- 29:37Speaker 6: it has to change all of that, all of us.
- 29:40Speaker 9: You just know when it's that time, and it wasn't.
- 29:43Speaker 20: Let me tell you something, man, were so blessed to
- 29:45Speaker 20: be here. You gotta think like fifteen. We met each
- 29:48Speaker 20: other at fifteen. You know, we had our little fights
- 29:51Speaker 20: and gripes, but we understood the mission and that's to
- 29:55Speaker 20: keep God first, stay together first again after that, and
- 30:00Speaker 20: we love what we do, but we love each other.
- 30:02Speaker 20: And we knew our mission was, like you said, a
- 30:04Speaker 20: lot of songs back then, R and B was a
- 30:06Speaker 20: little soft.
- 30:08Speaker 10: It was still good songs, but still.
- 30:09Speaker 20: It was kind of soft, and then you had some
- 30:11Speaker 20: of those kind of freaky and so we definitely came
- 30:15Speaker 20: up with the concept where we won't speaking to behalf
- 30:17Speaker 20: of brothers like dj inby Jagged Is you wear.
- 30:20Speaker 10: Timbo's who were Jordan's You know what I'm saying.
- 30:23Speaker 20: We know we're just not throwing on the suit and
- 30:26Speaker 20: be more relatable about hey, I'm hurt, you hurt me, baby,
- 30:29Speaker 20: and we need to talk about this, you know. Or
- 30:30Speaker 20: I promised to stay there with you, although you know
- 30:33Speaker 20: you may be going I want to learn what I
- 30:35Speaker 20: need to do better song. We knew that the message
- 30:38Speaker 20: was more powerful coming from something real instead of something
- 30:42Speaker 20: that the label or the audience kind of expect.
- 30:46Speaker 10: You know, it's a little deeper than that, you know,
- 30:48Speaker 10: musically has a message behind it.
- 30:50Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm super glad of the route we took.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Man.
- 30:53Speaker 19: We never wanted wanted to exclude anybody from from my
- 30:56Speaker 19: music or you know what I mean, like a school
- 30:58Speaker 19: of this certain sale to this certain I block, with
- 31:00Speaker 19: this certain type of people.
- 31:01Speaker 10: You know what I mean.
- 31:02Speaker 19: One thing about we all have a commonist. We have
- 31:05Speaker 19: love somebody or wanted to love somebody, you know what
- 31:08Speaker 19: I mean. And that's what universal language for was.
- 31:09Speaker 10: You know what I mean.
- 31:10Speaker 7: Love. So that's what we're going to promote.
- 31:12Speaker 14: Now.
- 31:12Speaker 17: I got some songs that people love that I don't
- 31:14Speaker 17: know y'all gonna be able to do on the tour
- 31:16Speaker 17: or not, like the Nasty Girl to trade it and
- 31:23Speaker 17: if I come out, just need to know likes.
- 31:27Speaker 19: You took the words right out of my mouth. We've
- 31:29Speaker 19: got like a lot of a bunch of new record
- 31:32Speaker 19: along with what we are.
- 31:33Speaker 7: That's not when she was a louder, and I know
- 31:35Speaker 7: she was.
- 31:36Speaker 17: I'm asking the question because I think you know people
- 31:38Speaker 17: I know for me, if I come out into Midnight
- 31:40Speaker 17: with you guys, I do want to hear trade it
- 31:42Speaker 17: all is my song Nasty Girls my song.
- 31:44Speaker 5: Let me just say this too, right, Diddy, that's you know,
- 31:47Speaker 5: that's my brother, that's our brother. Like we've had a
- 31:49Speaker 5: good relationship. I can't speak on nobody else's you know,
- 31:53Speaker 5: it ain't my business, right, But at the end of that,
- 31:55Speaker 5: I can only deal with my interactions with the man,
- 31:58Speaker 5: and I'm talking about plenty of them.
- 32:00Speaker 7: After being around him thirty forty times, I never seen
- 32:03Speaker 7: nothing offended me. He's never offended me.
- 32:06Speaker 5: He always made sure if he was in his space,
- 32:08Speaker 5: we felt welcome and like I said, all the other
- 32:11Speaker 5: things that other people they can.
- 32:12Speaker 7: Have that now.
- 32:13Speaker 5: I had an uncle Winn and Jeff for eleven Let
- 32:15Speaker 5: me shout up my uncle Laireic. I had an uncle
- 32:17Speaker 5: Win Jeff for eleven year and he was always still
- 32:19Speaker 5: just my uncle Laiic and then changed to the point
- 32:22Speaker 5: where he's some different guy because he did some some
- 32:25Speaker 5: messed up stuff. He's still my uncle Aiic. And it's
- 32:27Speaker 5: the same with Diddy to me at this point. You know,
- 32:30Speaker 5: I don't know if he's in itself he's guilty, but
- 32:32Speaker 5: that's my brother and that's that's all I can say.
- 32:34Speaker 10: But I do want to ask trade it off.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Y'all surprised, he called y'all and.
- 32:43Speaker 7: Jazz it jazz. We got more songs with him than
- 32:48Speaker 7: they do, We getting like three four songs with him.
- 32:52Speaker 9: That's why he said. The cheerleading in the Rock Rocket.
- 33:01Speaker 7: You know.
- 33:03Speaker 4: The album.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Definitely pick it up right.
- 33:05Speaker 9: Now and we appreciate you guys.
- 33:08Speaker 18: When the tour start March.
- 33:11Speaker 6: Twenty sixty, Dallas, Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it.
- 33:14Speaker 6: It is Jagged Edge, It's the Breakfast Club.
- 33:16Speaker 9: Good morning everybody.
- 33:17Speaker 1: It's DJ n V Jess Hilarious.
- 33:20Speaker 6: Charlamagne, the Gud We are the Breakfast Club. Lawna ROAs
- 33:22Speaker 6: is here as well, and we got some icons legends. Today,
- 33:28Speaker 6: ladies and gentlemen, we have new audition and Boys to.
- 33:30Speaker 8: Men they're going on tour together. I feel like this
- 33:40Speaker 8: should have been happening right. Why did it take so long?
- 33:43Speaker 8: Who wants to start?
- 33:45Speaker 22: I think that there's a lot of logistics that go
- 33:48Speaker 22: with having two groups, two groups with such great success.
- 33:53Speaker 22: In order to get that together, scheduling has to be right. Also,
- 33:57Speaker 22: the you know what I mean, the energy has to
- 33:59Speaker 22: be right, climate has to be right. And I just
- 34:01Speaker 22: believe that this is the time. God put this time
- 34:04Speaker 22: as the time to show the world what this, this
- 34:07Speaker 22: whole vibe is all about. New addition, Boys to Men
- 34:10Speaker 22: Tony Bax and it's a real thing, and this is
- 34:13Speaker 22: the moment God placed it right here.
- 34:15Speaker 9: Now his boys to Menfield.
- 34:16Speaker 6: I got to ask, because you guys, they were your idols,
- 34:19Speaker 6: right they still are still you seeing them.
- 34:22Speaker 9: You know, when y'all had to show in Philly, y'all
- 34:24Speaker 9: come to the bus and you're singing.
- 34:25Speaker 5: And.
- 34:28Speaker 10: Well, you know that's not actually how it went, you
- 34:30Speaker 10: know what I'm saying. No, no, no, I don't mean to.
- 34:33Speaker 22: I don't mean to, but you know, but you know,
- 34:37Speaker 22: like in order in order for the story to to
- 34:39Speaker 22: to actually be uh told in the movie, sometimes you
- 34:42Speaker 22: have to you know, make it all go together and sequence,
- 34:45Speaker 22: you know, for people to see.
- 34:47Speaker 10: So there's truth to that. But it was Michael Bibbins,
- 34:52Speaker 10: Ricky and and Ron.
- 34:54Speaker 22: They were actually coming off stage at the Powerhouse and
- 34:57Speaker 22: they were in Philly, and they we were introducing that
- 35:01Speaker 22: you guys were going to be DBD and uh we
- 35:04Speaker 22: had just by the time they came off stage, we
- 35:06Speaker 22: had just snuck backstage.
- 35:08Speaker 10: We passed past us back before we got backstage.
- 35:10Speaker 22: As soon as we got there, they were coming off stage,
- 35:13Speaker 22: and I guess, uh, Nate asked Ricky can we sing
- 35:18Speaker 22: for him?
- 35:18Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying, And Ricky was like, yeah,
- 35:20Speaker 10: got it.
- 35:20Speaker 20: Tape y'all said, He said, hey, yeah, yeah, got it
- 35:26Speaker 20: tape and we was like, no, we ain't got no tape.
- 35:29Speaker 10: And he was like, well, y'all need to tape. You
- 35:31Speaker 10: know what I'm saying.
- 35:31Speaker 22: He started writing down the address, but then Nate was like, yo,
- 35:34Speaker 22: let me go to BIV. So he's like, BIV, can
- 35:36Speaker 22: we sing for you? And he was like, can y'all
- 35:38Speaker 22: do it right now? Boom we busted into can you
- 35:41Speaker 22: standing right in acapella? So it was backstage. It wasn't
- 35:44Speaker 22: at a tour bus, but you know what I mean,
- 35:46Speaker 22: the story nonetheless, it definitely resonated.
- 35:50Speaker 9: Wow, the tour bus was more exciting.
- 35:52Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah right, there was a
- 35:56Speaker 10: lot more sexy.
- 35:57Speaker 7: The US was sexy.
- 35:59Speaker 8: I do want to ask, you know, every every artist, manager, artist,
- 36:02Speaker 8: executive relationship has its highs and lows. When you look back,
- 36:05Speaker 8: what was some of the biggest misunderstandings or lessons y'all
- 36:08Speaker 8: learned from you know, each other?
- 36:10Speaker 23: I guess you could say, like when any relationship, I
- 36:13Speaker 23: mean in a group, because.
- 36:14Speaker 24: Even when BIBB signed his years ago, it was almost
- 36:17Speaker 24: like him being the fifth member at the time, and
- 36:19Speaker 24: I think it was more like a dynamic type thing.
- 36:21Speaker 24: You know, we learned a lot about each other's personalities
- 36:24Speaker 24: as well as just understanding, you know, how the business went.
- 36:28Speaker 23: So you know, you had your share of highs.
- 36:30Speaker 12: And lows and ups and downs.
- 36:31Speaker 23: But at the end of the day, it's all about that.
- 36:33Speaker 23: It's better is the end of.
- 36:35Speaker 24: A thing than the beginning and of the thing. Absolutely,
- 36:37Speaker 24: So it's one of those things where it's like, here
- 36:39Speaker 24: we are, look at this.
- 36:40Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying.
- 36:40Speaker 24: A lot of people didn't think that this, you know,
- 36:43Speaker 24: situation would even happen. But as you mentioned, Bois, men
- 36:46Speaker 24: owe a lot to New Audition. But this is what
- 36:48Speaker 24: succession looks like. You understand what I'm saying. So so
- 36:52Speaker 24: it's one of those things where it's like these guys
- 36:53Speaker 24: did what they did and they gave us the ball
- 36:56Speaker 24: and we ran with it.
- 36:57Speaker 10: So so that now we can roll with it together.
- 36:59Speaker 12: Now we can roll with it together?
- 37:00Speaker 8: Can we expound on the brotherhood you know between all
- 37:03Speaker 8: of y'all. Man, You know, I love seeing all of
- 37:04Speaker 8: y'all together after all these years. What have y'all learned
- 37:06Speaker 8: about forgiveness and just staying together as brothers Audition and boys?
- 37:11Speaker 25: I could say, go ahead, you said, I've said before
- 37:14Speaker 25: and if you was talking about the fact that when
- 37:16Speaker 25: you're talking about true brotherhood, it's a real true brotherhood
- 37:20Speaker 25: and we're like real siblings.
- 37:22Speaker 3: And I've said that that's why you see we go
- 37:25Speaker 3: through our ups and downs, our battles. We're gonna had
- 37:27Speaker 3: some ups and downs and all of the above, but
- 37:30Speaker 3: at this stage of our lives when we come together, man,
- 37:33Speaker 3: it's like it's just nothing but laughter. It's like, at
- 37:35Speaker 3: this point of our lives, we didn't been through a lot,
- 37:38Speaker 3: and I'm sure there's more to deal with as far
- 37:40Speaker 3: as challenges go, but we've come full circles just as
- 37:43Speaker 3: grown men, just as as human beings, and we have
- 37:46Speaker 3: fun when we come together.
- 37:48Speaker 22: Yeah, I was gonna say, y'all need to talk to
- 37:50Speaker 22: y'all just like we brought well, this this is the
- 37:52Speaker 22: deal again. We this is the first time that we've
- 37:55Speaker 22: even come together in this circumstance, you know what I mean.
- 37:59Speaker 22: Other times it's and you know, we've been on shows
- 38:01Speaker 22: with with BBD. We've done a few shows with Johnny
- 38:05Speaker 22: and Bobby and you know, and we I think we
- 38:07Speaker 22: did one gig that we all were together, but I
- 38:10Speaker 22: feel like in order for the energy to actually get
- 38:14Speaker 22: to the place where it's supposed to be something like that,
- 38:17Speaker 22: a break bread moment has to happened.
- 38:19Speaker 10: You know, some things, you know, some things that we
- 38:21Speaker 10: might have on our hearts may need to come out.
- 38:24Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying.
- 38:24Speaker 22: I mean, that's that's what brotherhood is about, you know.
- 38:27Speaker 22: And and I'm a big fan of atonement, guys.
- 38:30Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying.
- 38:31Speaker 20: I'm a big fan of of of of letting it go,
- 38:34Speaker 20: especially at the age that we're all at.
- 38:37Speaker 10: You know, I'm trying. I'm trying to. Yeah, man, I'm trying.
- 38:40Speaker 10: I'm trying to. I'm in coach mode.
- 38:42Speaker 15: This is the time.
- 38:43Speaker 20: Let's go out, let's make some money, and let's entertain
- 38:46Speaker 20: these people and be on coach mold.
- 38:49Speaker 7: That's all conversation.
- 38:51Speaker 24: Like that initial conversation, what he was saying was, it's
- 38:55Speaker 24: it's one of those things where because we're on the
- 38:58Speaker 24: road and because we have the time.
- 39:00Speaker 12: It's going to be one of those organic.
- 39:03Speaker 24: We don't want to make this a melo drama, and
- 39:06Speaker 24: it ain't no negativity, ain't no mess like like you
- 39:08Speaker 24: know what I'm saying, None.
- 39:09Speaker 23: Of that excuse me, none of that stuff.
- 39:11Speaker 24: Like, it's really just about understanding how important this meant,
- 39:16Speaker 24: or this was not only to the fans but to us.
- 39:19Speaker 12: So this is what we're doing.
- 39:21Speaker 24: We're celebrating, We're going to have a good time. We're
- 39:22Speaker 24: gonna go on the road and we're gonna sing and
- 39:24Speaker 24: dance our asses off. Absolutely, we're gonna give people the
- 39:27Speaker 24: greatest show they've ever seen in their life.
- 39:29Speaker 7: You have fun doing this, right, have fun doing it?
- 39:32Speaker 20: Now?
- 39:32Speaker 9: What do you think there's missing in the R and
- 39:34Speaker 9: B game right now? Why don't you think there's more
- 39:36Speaker 9: R and B groups?
- 39:37Speaker 26: Honestly, I think it started at the recording. I think
- 39:42Speaker 26: people that are hired now, some of them don't have
- 39:44Speaker 26: an eye for talent. They have an eye for their computer.
- 39:47Speaker 26: Sometimes you have to go in the street, like we
- 39:50Speaker 26: met in the street. You know they're saying it be closed,
- 39:55Speaker 26: and I think they look at it as the hits of.
- 39:58Speaker 7: The computer makes them hit group. But it's so much
- 40:02Speaker 7: more to it.
- 40:02Speaker 26: And back in the day, like for myself as the CEO,
- 40:06Speaker 26: I stayed the two in the morning and kept looking
- 40:09Speaker 26: at the pictures, listening to the music, the an R
- 40:12Speaker 26: and the people at the office. Now they're on the
- 40:14Speaker 26: red carpet before the artists get there. So the responsibility
- 40:18Speaker 26: and the care the detail is missing. And if someone
- 40:22Speaker 26: would just slow down and say, Yo, how many times
- 40:25Speaker 26: we gotta look at the Grammys and not.
- 40:27Speaker 7: One R and B group is on the shlve right right,
- 40:30Speaker 7: right right.
- 40:31Speaker 26: And the first time we see in an R and
- 40:33Speaker 26: B group in the last five years, well, you know,
- 40:35Speaker 26: we saw what Bruno on them did, but that was
- 40:38Speaker 26: a different thing. I'm talking about someone from the hood,
- 40:40Speaker 26: like a Joda signal audition Boys to Men. Jagged Edge
- 40:43Speaker 26: is when Wan Suns was on there and Jesse gave
- 40:45Speaker 26: them the shot. That's the first time we seen black
- 40:48Speaker 26: kids on the Grammys ever in a long time. And
- 40:52Speaker 26: that's where it starts. It starts Younger it Scotts at
- 40:55Speaker 26: the office, or it's gonna have to come from.
- 40:57Speaker 9: Us with Bobby with so many hits, how many hits
- 41:00Speaker 9: you're gonna do on stage?
- 41:02Speaker 10: Man to the mic?
- 41:03Speaker 6: And then because this that's the time where everybody could
- 41:05Speaker 6: take a break. You have so many records single right, like,
- 41:09Speaker 6: how how are you giving us a break?
- 41:14Speaker 5: Me?
- 41:14Speaker 7: And break? I don't I don't know.
- 41:18Speaker 12: It's up it's up to Brooke and it's up to
- 41:21Speaker 12: you know, the guys.
- 41:22Speaker 7: How much they want me on the stage.
- 41:25Speaker 10: I don't.
- 41:25Speaker 7: I don't plan to do no more than the next man.
- 41:27Speaker 10: I know that, trust me.
- 41:40Speaker 5: One.
- 41:41Speaker 14: Okay, So for boys and man, how long did it
- 41:43Speaker 14: take y'all to complete a whole song in the studio?
- 41:46Speaker 9: Because you when I say when the song's be going off,
- 41:48Speaker 9: you'd be like, no, no, no.
- 41:49Speaker 7: I got some more.
- 41:57Speaker 14: Specific with the Christmas album that I all year christmasstations.
- 42:03Speaker 10: Wow, thank you so much, my favorite appreciation.
- 42:06Speaker 7: I play it all year round.
- 42:07Speaker 10: How long did it take you all to complete a
- 42:09Speaker 10: single song? Well, I'll tell you this. It took us
- 42:11Speaker 10: two weeks to do the Christmas album.
- 42:13Speaker 7: What that's all?
- 42:15Speaker 22: We had two weeks, that's all we had. And we
- 42:17Speaker 22: recorded it in Europe in London, yes, with Brian McKnight.
- 42:21Speaker 22: We sat there because we were on tour. We were
- 42:24Speaker 22: on tour in London, right, and we had a yeah,
- 42:27Speaker 22: we had to meet the deadline and we sat in there.
- 42:29Speaker 22: Of course we wrote songs on the road, you know,
- 42:32Speaker 22: like Sean would call me to his room. He had
- 42:35Speaker 22: joyous song. I came up with why Christmas and Nate
- 42:37Speaker 22: had a cold December Nights, Mike did No No Michael's Cold.
- 42:42Speaker 22: December Knights, Nate had what was the record of Share
- 42:46Speaker 22: Love Love. Yeah, So the idea, like literally to to
- 42:51Speaker 22: do a new standard Christmas album was It was grueling
- 42:55Speaker 22: because we didn't have much time, but we wrote the
- 42:57Speaker 22: hell out of that, Like every aspect of it was
- 43:00Speaker 22: straight from the you know, the soul, you know what
- 43:03Speaker 22: I mean. It was real, real moments. So we did
- 43:06Speaker 22: and we didn't want to make it all like you know,
- 43:08Speaker 22: jing go bells, you know what I mean.
- 43:10Speaker 10: We wanted to make it.
- 43:11Speaker 20: We wanted to make it so that so that so
- 43:14Speaker 20: that we could feel it, you know what I'm saying,
- 43:16Speaker 20: so that you could actually play that drawn straight.
- 43:19Speaker 10: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
- 43:20Speaker 22: So once you you know, once the standards come and play,
- 43:24Speaker 22: you know, of course, you can make choices, but when
- 43:27Speaker 22: you have new Christmas records that people fall in love with,
- 43:29Speaker 22: that's the only choice.
- 43:31Speaker 10: That's why we decided not to make another one.
- 43:33Speaker 14: Yeah you please, But if y'all don't need to, because
- 43:38Speaker 14: that that's one of my favorite albums.
- 43:39Speaker 10: Thank you appreciate that.
- 43:42Speaker 7: Why did you kill Give Love on Christmas?
- 43:44Speaker 1: Daily because that's my favorite Christmas song.
- 43:45Speaker 14: Like y'all was singing these Christmas songs like women were
- 43:49Speaker 14: leaving y'all.
- 43:52Speaker 7: Because they were that's all I had to give.
- 43:57Speaker 12: I didn't have money back then. All I have loved off.
- 44:05Speaker 9: Is there a song that you guys hate to do that? Like,
- 44:07Speaker 9: I just don't want to do that song, y'all looking
- 44:09Speaker 9: at you?
- 44:10Speaker 12: I know what was one?
- 44:10Speaker 13: This?
- 44:12Speaker 10: I hate that song.
- 44:14Speaker 22: I'll tell you why you hate it. So so so
- 44:18Speaker 22: we're in Salt Lake City. We were and and uh,
- 44:22Speaker 22: the record label. I'm sure they've had something to do
- 44:24Speaker 22: it this the record label and was like, yo, we
- 44:30Speaker 22: need a record for the Jackson's Mini series. And we
- 44:34Speaker 22: wanted to be in the Still of the Night. Now,
- 44:36Speaker 22: we could think of so many other records that we
- 44:39Speaker 22: would have been excited to do, you know what I mean.
- 44:42Speaker 22: But they wanted in the Still of the Night. So okay,
- 44:44Speaker 22: it's a very easy record, guys, you know what I mean.
- 44:46Speaker 22: Of course, with our harmony structures, we kind of we
- 44:49Speaker 22: kind of do it a little bit different because it's
- 44:51Speaker 22: not the regular triad. The issue is is nobody wanted
- 44:54Speaker 22: to sing the lead.
- 44:56Speaker 23: It was a day off, weekend and we wanted to
- 44:57Speaker 23: go snowmobill.
- 44:58Speaker 20: Exactly right, exactly, so nobody wanted to sing the lead,
- 45:03Speaker 20: So anything right, right, right?
- 45:07Speaker 10: No, no, no, hell no, we don't want to sing
- 45:09Speaker 10: the lead because it's in the other night.
- 45:12Speaker 7: Right.
- 45:12Speaker 10: So we flipped the coin.
- 45:14Speaker 20: That's how we did every That's how we that's how
- 45:17Speaker 20: we cleared every altercase, every situation.
- 45:20Speaker 27: We would just want to slip the one and we left.
- 45:27Speaker 27: I don't even remember, bro, I was so pissed off.
- 45:30Speaker 27: I'm looking out the window, snow cap mountains, hilarious traumises.
- 45:39Speaker 1: So that new addition hates to do.
- 45:41Speaker 23: I want to know that.
- 45:41Speaker 10: Yeah, what's all y'all hate to do?
- 45:43Speaker 9: Familiar will probably be you're not my kind of girl?
- 45:46Speaker 28: What Yeah, leans in on the dance side, this one
- 45:52Speaker 28: move that we do whatever you know later on my
- 45:55Speaker 28: ass hurts.
- 46:02Speaker 18: Dance moves in like things you're not gonna touch this
- 46:04Speaker 18: time around.
- 46:05Speaker 28: On yes, face, we are definitely gonna. I think we
- 46:14Speaker 28: do want to give people a different experience. Like MB said,
- 46:19Speaker 28: some of the classic stuff that people have come to
- 46:22Speaker 28: know us for if it is in love, maybe even
- 46:25Speaker 28: you're not my kind of girl. Some of those things
- 46:27Speaker 28: we're gonna keep in place. We might add some variances,
- 46:30Speaker 28: but I think people want to see us do something
- 46:32Speaker 28: new and fresh. So we definitely want to give people
- 46:35Speaker 28: a different experiences.
- 46:36Speaker 7: But you can't do ballplayers get older. They even got
- 46:39Speaker 7: to adjust their game, right, thank you.
- 46:46Speaker 6: You gotta tell you, gotta tell Brooke that because he
- 46:49Speaker 6: ain't trying to expect that they want the same look
- 46:53Speaker 6: from twenty one.
- 46:54Speaker 7: He be like, you try, That's what you tell you try.
- 46:57Speaker 7: Sometimes running in just ran out.
- 47:03Speaker 10: The Walking Man.
- 47:07Speaker 7: Are y'all helping Bois and Men developed their biopic? I
- 47:10Speaker 7: remember there was rumors of a Boys Men biopick at
- 47:12Speaker 7: one time.
- 47:14Speaker 10: I have to see that.
- 47:15Speaker 24: I mean, we're still in the embryonic stages of it,
- 47:19Speaker 24: still trying to get things together because we want to
- 47:21Speaker 24: make sure that the story is told the right way,
- 47:23Speaker 24: because there are a lot of things that by design,
- 47:27Speaker 24: we have not said. You know, there's been a lot
- 47:29Speaker 24: of things that's been mentioned about the group and said
- 47:32Speaker 24: about the groups and things that nature that we.
- 47:33Speaker 10: Just kind of watched the last thing quiet.
- 47:35Speaker 24: You know what I'm saying, Because when you see the
- 47:38Speaker 24: people that are actually saying it, you gotta always consider
- 47:41Speaker 24: the source, right, and when you see their positions and
- 47:47Speaker 24: the lives they're living and things that nature outside of
- 47:50Speaker 24: all of the shock value of oh, somebody said this,
- 47:53Speaker 24: If you look a little deeper, you say, oh, okay,
- 47:56Speaker 24: that's why they said that.
- 47:57Speaker 4: Now.
- 47:57Speaker 14: You know.
- 47:58Speaker 23: The thing about the industry, though, is that everybody knows
- 48:02Speaker 23: everything about everybody.
- 48:03Speaker 29: Yeah, if I wanted to go on this radio show
- 48:09Speaker 29: and talk about certain people, I know I could because
- 48:12Speaker 29: I know exactly what happened, who did it, the whole
- 48:15Speaker 29: nine yards.
- 48:15Speaker 10: The issue is not us, though, you know what I mean.
- 48:19Speaker 10: It's the people.
- 48:20Speaker 22: You know what I'm saying. Everyone has an opinion, you
- 48:22Speaker 22: know what I mean. They call it social media, but
- 48:24Speaker 22: there's nothing social about it at all, you know what
- 48:26Speaker 22: I mean. The thought process about it is when someone
- 48:31Speaker 22: says something about you, it's fine, especially if it's true.
- 48:36Speaker 10: I don't care.
- 48:37Speaker 20: But I'm tired of people lying about us. They lie
- 48:41Speaker 20: about us, and we never say nothing.
- 48:44Speaker 22: Well, I got a messed up knee, I got three
- 48:48Speaker 22: schools in it, and I'm getting myself together.
- 48:51Speaker 27: Before you go there, I want to give him an
- 48:53Speaker 27: example of how we don't say anything like people been
- 48:56Speaker 27: talking about our fourth member forever. Oh, y'all did this
- 48:58Speaker 27: to him. Y'all kicked him out. He was y'ain't give
- 49:00Speaker 27: it about him. Y'all don't know the story. And that's
- 49:02Speaker 27: okay because we keep that in. But I tell you
- 49:04Speaker 27: one thing we've never done. We've never said anything about
- 49:08Speaker 27: him until the latter years, to make sure that man,
- 49:12Speaker 27: if he's.
- 49:12Speaker 10: Not here, he can have a career. Absolute you don't
- 49:17Speaker 10: do that, So we don't. We don't do that.
- 49:19Speaker 27: That's not I mean, I'm the least social media guy
- 49:21Speaker 27: on the planet. Yes, yes, no need for I don't
- 49:24Speaker 27: live in that space, so it's no need to go
- 49:25Speaker 27: in there and deal with all the craziness because we're
- 49:28Speaker 27: gonna handle lot of out.
- 49:29Speaker 22: So when someone is doing that and telling stories like
- 49:32Speaker 22: literally fabricated stories, I feel like it's it's just felt
- 49:37Speaker 22: like time, you know, time to defend the integrity of
- 49:41Speaker 22: my group, of my fellas, myself, you know what I mean.
- 49:45Speaker 22: And look, I'm not gonna say, boys to man, we
- 49:49Speaker 22: was the cleanest planet earth. You know what I'm saying.
- 49:51Speaker 22: We did some stuff, you know what I'm saying, a
- 49:53Speaker 22: lot of people. You know, I'm pretty sure we put
- 49:55Speaker 22: some people off, you know what I mean?
- 49:58Speaker 7: And right.
- 49:59Speaker 22: But at the end of the day, we were trying
- 50:02Speaker 22: to protect our brand. We were trying to protect it.
- 50:04Speaker 22: We didn't have Michael bibbins on over us anymore to
- 50:07Speaker 22: protect us. We didn't have ky Lil Rountree. He got murdered,
- 50:10Speaker 22: you know what I'm saying. We were trying to figure
- 50:12Speaker 22: out all kinds of things managerial. We have Michael Jackson
- 50:15Speaker 22: and Prince telling us to know your work and don't
- 50:18Speaker 22: let nobody get over on you. You know, So we
- 50:21Speaker 22: we developed a ship, a ship. We started looking at
- 50:25Speaker 22: everybody and like, oh, no, you're not going to do
- 50:27Speaker 22: this to us. You're not going to do this to us.
- 50:29Speaker 20: So when they hear our voices because we were so
- 50:31Speaker 20: silent because everybody else was doing it for.
- 50:33Speaker 10: Us, now we're apples.
- 50:35Speaker 19: You know.
- 50:35Speaker 22: You understand, just because we're in the studio and we're
- 50:38Speaker 22: working on a project does not mean that we're going
- 50:41Speaker 22: to be consorting.
- 50:42Speaker 10: That's not what boys to men do. When we're in
- 50:44Speaker 10: the studio, we work.
- 50:45Speaker 22: We don't have time to play games, you know what
- 50:47Speaker 22: I'm saying, Because we have to please these fans, you know,
- 50:50Speaker 22: So when someone is saying you know that we said
- 50:53Speaker 22: something as specific about a friend of ours.
- 50:58Speaker 7: We don't need babyface.
- 51:03Speaker 17: Come on, and I saw you jump in the comments
- 51:05Speaker 17: of the show and say what you said, But so
- 51:10Speaker 17: why now even address that if you know it's not truly.
- 51:12Speaker 10: Because I got time, I got a messed up knee.
- 51:15Speaker 1: I was sitting on the damn I was sitting on
- 51:20Speaker 1: the damn couch.
- 51:21Speaker 10: I couldn't get up, I couldn't drive.
- 51:23Speaker 20: I was watching cartoons and playing PlayStation and I saw
- 51:26Speaker 20: that and I said, hmm, this will be fun.
- 51:30Speaker 10: And guess what it was. It was very fun because
- 51:32Speaker 10: I got a chance to let the people who really
- 51:35Speaker 10: cared on that page no that it was a lie man.
- 51:40Speaker 22: You could choose to take it wherever you want. I'm
- 51:43Speaker 22: just trying to figure out where it came from. I
- 51:44Speaker 22: never said anything derogatory about Chili. If you read the comments,
- 51:48Speaker 22: I said, I love those girls. I said, we have
- 51:50Speaker 22: history together. I'm just trying to figure out what happened.
- 51:53Speaker 20: I mean, we heard that Tian said after the past
- 51:56Speaker 20: of my thing, I ain't staying for this corny ash,
- 51:59Speaker 20: corny ass show. That's what you know what I'm saying.
- 52:02Speaker 20: And I'm like, why, I love you, we love y'all
- 52:05Speaker 20: like the nostalgia. When we walk into the room, they
- 52:07Speaker 20: jump into our I mean, Chili used to jump into
- 52:09Speaker 20: our arms line.
- 52:10Speaker 10: It's like, what's going on.
- 52:11Speaker 26: At the end of the day, we were just gonna
- 52:13Speaker 26: sell some tickets because because to be honest with you,
- 52:17Speaker 26: this where we are and what we're trying to do.
- 52:21Speaker 26: We were trying to inspire absolutely absolutely, And you guys'
- 52:24Speaker 26: movie is gonna be a great movie.
- 52:26Speaker 12: It's gonna be from your point of view.
- 52:28Speaker 26: Your fans are gonna love it, and we just want
- 52:30Speaker 26: them to come to this so they could see us
- 52:33Speaker 26: together because we've never done this absolutely, you know, and
- 52:36Speaker 26: this this is really our first interview. So the Breakfast
- 52:39Speaker 26: Club is really the first interview of us all together.
- 52:46Speaker 12: Can I just say to you guys, to boys and man,
- 52:47Speaker 12: let me just say this and I'll shut up.
- 52:50Speaker 3: But I'm glad that you guys are telling your story
- 52:52Speaker 3: because in the world that we're living in now with
- 52:54Speaker 3: social media and everybody can get on there and say
- 52:56Speaker 3: what they want, ruin people's lives, ring your reputation, I
- 53:00Speaker 3: think and do a number of things. It is important. No,
- 53:03Speaker 3: you can't fight the whole world. No, we'll never be
- 53:04Speaker 3: able to change sometimes people no matter whether it's the
- 53:07Speaker 3: truth or not. But when it comes from the horse's
- 53:10Speaker 3: mouth and it's written in stone, it can't be raised.
- 53:12Speaker 3: Can't tell your story nothing else.
- 53:15Speaker 19: At the end of the day, with your legacy, anybody
- 53:17Speaker 19: want to believe, whether they want to believe, that's all.
- 53:19Speaker 19: It's all well and fine, but it has come from
- 53:22Speaker 19: the horse's mouth directly in this.
- 53:24Speaker 24: Yeah, it's so so the answer. Yes, we're working on
- 53:27Speaker 24: the biopic. Bib is definitely gonna put his input into
- 53:30Speaker 24: it and working going.
- 53:32Speaker 19: To have.
- 53:33Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying, because it's everybody's story, everybody.
- 53:38Speaker 23: Every it's everybody's story.
- 53:39Speaker 24: But the stuff they want and everybody was touching on man,
- 53:41Speaker 24: and people that were saying they corny a cornball.
- 53:45Speaker 6: I can't wait get your tickets if you haven't got
- 53:47Speaker 6: your tickets yet, talking about thirty I'm sure it's gonna
- 53:50Speaker 6: be more than that because they got to ask so fast.
- 53:52Speaker 7: I'm just having got something to do.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Man, it's gonna be man audition boys. Man, thank y'all
- 54:01Speaker 1: for joining.
- 54:02Speaker 12: Us having.
- 54:06Speaker 7: That's what I meant, Why Tony, why why did y'all
- 54:07Speaker 7: decide to get to.
- 54:08Speaker 3: We needed a queen, and I thought that honestly, she
- 54:12Speaker 3: was to me. I thought was a great, great part,
- 54:16Speaker 3: It could be a great part of this. This this
- 54:18Speaker 3: the whole movie, because it's about when you're doing a
- 54:20Speaker 3: show like this, you want catalog, you want everything to
- 54:23Speaker 3: be able to fit perfectly.
- 54:24Speaker 12: And I think that she just fits for the for
- 54:26Speaker 12: the choice. Yes, she was my first choice.
- 54:31Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, that conference call was different, but she's there.
- 54:34Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 54:35Speaker 7: Yeah to her personally, yeah I did you?
- 54:40Speaker 12: Did you I talked to her?
- 54:42Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, thank you, because I'm happy I'm going to
- 54:45Speaker 14: be seeing her too.
- 54:49Speaker 9: It's the Breakfast Club. The Florida man attacked an a
- 54:57Speaker 9: t M for a very strange reason. It gave him
- 54:59Speaker 9: too much mo. Florida man is arrested after that's being saved.
- 55:02Speaker 14: He rigged the door to his home and an attempt
- 55:03Speaker 14: to electric hit his president lights.
- 55:05Speaker 7: Police arrested in Orlando man for talking up from me
- 55:08Speaker 7: though the Breakfast Club.
- 55:09Speaker 22: Bitch, you donkey of the day with Charlamagne to God,
- 55:11Speaker 22: I don't know why y'all keep letting him.
- 55:13Speaker 10: Get y'all like this.
- 55:14Speaker 8: It ain't it ain't it ain't me duvall as them, Okay, Florida.
- 55:17Speaker 8: Donkey to Day goes to a young woman named Alkina Samson. Okay,
- 55:20Speaker 8: a Quena is a thirty one year old woman from
- 55:22Speaker 8: Saint Petersburg, Florida who works at one of the greatest
- 55:25Speaker 8: institutions of all time, McDonald's. Okay, I am not about
- 55:28Speaker 8: to sit here and do a commercial for McDonald's.
- 55:30Speaker 7: Okay.
- 55:30Speaker 8: You can say what you want about McDonald's, but they
- 55:32Speaker 8: have been around since nineteen forty. It has thirty six
- 55:34Speaker 8: thousand restaurants in over one hundred countries, and they served
- 55:37Speaker 8: sixty nine million customers daily dropping the clues bombs of McDonald's.
- 55:41Speaker 8: But that's not an institution.
- 55:42Speaker 7: I don't know what is.
- 55:43Speaker 8: Okay, supersize me. Ain't stopping nothing. At some point, we
- 55:46Speaker 8: have all had a love affair with McDonald's, Okay. My
- 55:48Speaker 8: go to was the too Cheeseburger Mill with an orange drink.
- 55:51Speaker 8: And I'm old enough to remember when it was two
- 55:53Speaker 8: ninety nine, three fourteen plus x. What was your goal
- 55:56Speaker 8: to Jess?
- 55:57Speaker 7: That the same thing the two GI's burger mail three
- 55:59Speaker 7: fourth Saints bout you.
- 56:00Speaker 9: Mine was the same, but it was three twenty four cents.
- 56:03Speaker 8: Okay, McDonald's was the place that we would all hang
- 56:05Speaker 8: out after the football games, drop on the clues bombs
- 56:07Speaker 8: for the Berkeley Stacks, Monks Corner, South Carolina all day.
- 56:10Speaker 8: I have a lot of love and great memories connected
- 56:12Speaker 8: to McDonald's, and there was nothing like, you know, having
- 56:15Speaker 8: a homie.
- 56:15Speaker 7: Working at Mickeyd's. Because they would always bless you with
- 56:18Speaker 7: free food.
- 56:18Speaker 8: That's what it was, a blessing. Okay, that's what it was,
- 56:21Speaker 8: a blessing, all right. But Aquina Samson didn't have that
- 56:24Speaker 8: giving spirit. Okay, Akeena is clearly not the homie you
- 56:27Speaker 8: want working in McDonald's if you're looking to get something free. No, okay,
- 56:30Speaker 8: a Kena is there to protect McDonald's at all costs,
- 56:33Speaker 8: all right. She, a seventeen year old customer, got choked
- 56:37Speaker 8: out by Aquina after she stepped behind the counter to
- 56:39Speaker 8: take some ranch dipping sauce after not being helped by employees. Now,
- 56:43Speaker 8: we have all been at a fast food restaurant and
- 56:45Speaker 8: been frustrated by the service, but that doesn't mean you
- 56:48Speaker 8: can take madage into your.
- 56:49Speaker 7: Own hands and go behind the counter and do their
- 56:52Speaker 7: job for them.
- 56:52Speaker 8: Okay, this little entitled ass teenager took they ass behind
- 56:56Speaker 8: the counterar to get some ranch dipping sauce, and a Keena,
- 56:59Speaker 8: according to police reports, grabbed her arm. When the team
- 57:02Speaker 8: tried to break free, Aquina allegedly grabbed her by the
- 57:06Speaker 8: neck and put the girl to the ground. Sounds to
- 57:09Speaker 8: me like the Big Show's finishing move. Remember that show
- 57:11Speaker 8: stopper choke slam Big Show used to do. That's what
- 57:14Speaker 8: seemed like happened in this situation. Now, I know what
- 57:16Speaker 8: you're thinking. How many ranch package did the victim secure? Well,
- 57:19Speaker 8: the police reports does not reveal that information, but it
- 57:22Speaker 8: did reveal that the victim had visible injuries to her
- 57:24Speaker 8: neck and left elbow. The incident was also captured on video.
- 57:28Speaker 8: A Qina was charged with child abuse. Now you're probably
- 57:31Speaker 8: saying to yourself, damn, a Keena, did you have to
- 57:33Speaker 8: do all that for some McDonald's Ranch sauce. I don't
- 57:36Speaker 8: know if McDonald's ranch saw slaps. I've never had it.
- 57:39Speaker 8: Anybody ever had McDonald's Ranch.
- 57:40Speaker 7: Yes, it slaps, definitely slaps.
- 57:42Speaker 8: Okay, okay, Now, if it was Polynesian sauce, chip fil
- 57:45Speaker 8: At sauce, we probably could understand.
- 57:46Speaker 7: But McDonald's Ranch, I'm not sure. Just says it slaps.
- 57:49Speaker 8: I'll take her word for it, but it's not about
- 57:51Speaker 8: what the team did that got her choke slammed. It's
- 57:54Speaker 8: the principle. As much as I have to give a
- 57:57Speaker 8: keena this he hall, because there's a part of me.
- 58:00Speaker 8: I mean, as much as I have to give a
- 58:01Speaker 8: key to this he hall, there is a part of
- 58:03Speaker 8: me that's like.
- 58:05Speaker 13: Per.
- 58:07Speaker 12: What is it per? What is it her?
- 58:09Speaker 7: What is per her?
- 58:11Speaker 12: What's that?
- 58:12Speaker 7: That's that's just Clockett's Okay.
- 58:16Speaker 8: He wants to be a woman so bad. Yes, someone
- 58:18Speaker 8: has to teach these yms a lesson. Okay, where was
- 58:21Speaker 8: this seventeen year old's home training? There is cause and effect.
- 58:26Speaker 8: The seventeen year old was the cause and effect is
- 58:29Speaker 8: a keen of choke slamming her and being arrested and
- 58:31Speaker 8: charged with child abuse. And now she's about to lose
- 58:34Speaker 8: her job at McDonald's. Okay, she is clearly missing her
- 58:36Speaker 8: calling as nightclub security. But I digress. Look customer service
- 58:40Speaker 8: one on one. If a customer breaches protocol, especially a minor,
- 58:45Speaker 8: throw hot fried grease on them, No, the appropriate response
- 58:48Speaker 8: is to call management, our security, our security. Okay, don't
- 58:51Speaker 8: resort to physical violence because McDonalds wouldn't front line for
- 58:54Speaker 8: you like that, And you should never, under any circumstance,
- 58:57Speaker 8: risk your job, freedom and a young person safety over
- 59:01Speaker 8: a condiment.
- 59:02Speaker 12: I know.
- 59:02Speaker 7: I know that seventeen year old was risking it all too,
- 59:04Speaker 7: But day seventeen, you thirty one. You should know better.
- 59:07Speaker 8: Now once again you got a child abuse charge, which
- 59:10Speaker 8: is gonna look nasty on your record, and you lost
- 59:13Speaker 8: your job at Ronald McDonald's house. This situation makes the
- 59:16Speaker 8: ice cream machine always being broken seem like good customer service.
- 59:19Speaker 8: Please give Akina Samson the biggest he hull McDonald's.
- 59:27Speaker 7: They dying for you, bro.
- 59:28Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a lot.
- 59:29Speaker 7: That's extra. Just call the police, I will.
- 59:32Speaker 6: I will say this though, a lot of people that
- 59:35Speaker 6: work at fast food jobs take their job way too serious.
- 59:38Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely.

- 1:03:47Speaker 31: It just felt right, it being thirty years you know,
- 1:03:50Speaker 31: us being in the game, so it just it just
- 1:03:52Speaker 31: made sense for us to just get out there and
- 1:03:53Speaker 31: just show the fans that we really appreciate what they've
- 1:03:56Speaker 31: been doing, you know, been rocking out with us for

- 1:04:04Speaker 31: we managed by the same you know crew, So of
- 1:04:06Speaker 31: course that was an easy, you know decision to make
- 1:04:08Speaker 31: with that and then case you know, being you know,
- 1:04:12Speaker 31: yeah that's the bro, you know what I mean, and
- 1:04:13Speaker 31: all of us having that catalog is definitely we wanted
- 1:04:16Speaker 31: to bring back that ninety nostalgia and all.
- 1:04:19Speaker 14: Y'all still sing thank you. That's you know, not everybody
- 1:04:23Speaker 14: doing it, but y'all can still sing.
- 1:04:25Speaker 10: That's good man.
- 1:04:26Speaker 8: How did y'all find that balance back in the day
- 1:04:28Speaker 8: between between being like sexy but strong, was still streetd
- 1:04:32Speaker 8: with it, Like, how did y'all find that balance?
- 1:04:34Speaker 18: It was just natural, Like that's just who we are
- 1:04:37Speaker 18: growing up Jersey, like how we were.
- 1:04:40Speaker 10: And that's what made us.
- 1:04:41Speaker 7: To me, that's what made us who we were.
- 1:04:43Speaker 30: Total the name started out as total opposites because we
- 1:04:46Speaker 30: were all individuals in our.
- 1:04:49Speaker 7: Own way, you know, So it was it wasn't like
- 1:04:52Speaker 7: you had to buy the brand.
- 1:04:53Speaker 30: We came as we were.
- 1:04:55Speaker 9: Yeah, how was the bad Boy ever back then?
- 1:04:57Speaker 7: Growing up?
- 1:04:58Speaker 12: Right?
- 1:04:58Speaker 6: Because there was a time nineties two thousand it was
- 1:05:01Speaker 6: nothing but bad Boy in the radio, nothing but bad
- 1:05:04Speaker 6: Boy on the streets, mixtapes to clubs. How was that
- 1:05:07Speaker 6: era where just it felt like anything y'all did hit
- 1:05:11Speaker 6: it was.
- 1:05:11Speaker 7: It's a beautiful thing.
- 1:05:12Speaker 12: It was fun, it was.
- 1:05:14Speaker 17: That's what we've learned a lot of our grind from
- 1:05:16Speaker 17: that whole era, just grinding just out there.
- 1:05:20Speaker 12: It was going to the like it was just fun.
- 1:05:22Speaker 7: It was just like a big old part yep.
- 1:05:27Speaker 32: Yeah, crazy us coming from Atlanta, you know what I'm saying,
- 1:05:30Speaker 32: Like it was a different it was like a different culture.
- 1:05:32Speaker 32: So you know, you know, you can imagine how that felt.
- 1:05:34Speaker 32: He's coming I know, he's from the you know what
- 1:05:37Speaker 32: I'm saying, So he's coming to New York culture, you know,
- 1:05:41Speaker 32: so you know.
- 1:05:42Speaker 7: But but it was so much fun because.
- 1:05:43Speaker 32: It was just like okay, clubs smaller, but you know
- 1:05:47Speaker 32: what I mean.
- 1:05:47Speaker 7: But it was like in your face, so you know
- 1:05:49Speaker 7: what I'm saying. So, but we learned a lot musically here.
- 1:05:54Speaker 6: What about the fore kse Now, you weren't on Bad Boy,
- 1:05:56Speaker 6: you were on death Jamm. You a songwriter, you had
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: you have the I always say, you have that one
- 1:06:01Speaker 6: wedding song that you would get paid for for the
- 1:06:03Speaker 6: rest of your life happily ever after, like ya. That
- 1:06:08Speaker 6: was it coming up for you in that during that
- 1:06:10Speaker 6: time because at that time you would death jam. Death
- 1:06:12Speaker 6: jam was heavy pop and you was probably.
- 1:06:15Speaker 9: One of the only R and B singers at the time.
- 1:06:17Speaker 12: I mean it was.
- 1:06:18Speaker 33: It was cool for me, except for the only problem
- 1:06:20Speaker 33: what they was learning on the fly how to do
- 1:06:22Speaker 33: R and B and so I get caught up in
- 1:06:24Speaker 33: that sometime. But yeah, I mean you know how big
- 1:06:27Speaker 33: they was then, so that part was cool. It was
- 1:06:29Speaker 33: just a lot of times they had a lot of
- 1:06:31Speaker 33: hip hop sensibilities because it's hip hop label. But one
- 1:06:33Speaker 33: of the things that helped me was that I was
- 1:06:35Speaker 33: the last artist that Russell personally signed to death Jam,
- 1:06:38Speaker 33: So I'd always call him and be like, yo, I
- 1:06:41Speaker 33: could snitch.
- 1:06:43Speaker 7: The record was gonna be so timeless, like touch me,
- 1:06:45Speaker 7: tease me happily.
- 1:06:46Speaker 33: Ever ever, I didn't know. But that's what I always
- 1:06:49Speaker 33: wanted to do. Like I never wanted to make like
- 1:06:51Speaker 33: trendy stuff. I always wanted to make music like my
- 1:06:53Speaker 33: parents would listen to stuff from like twenty thirty years earlier,
- 1:06:56Speaker 33: and they would have me doing it. And so my
- 1:06:58Speaker 33: thing was like, if I could do that and not
- 1:07:00Speaker 33: be happy, and then everything else will fall in line.
- 1:07:02Speaker 7: You worked with a Mary Jay beyond Brown.
- 1:07:08Speaker 6: Who else There's a bunch of people h ll ghost Face,
- 1:07:11Speaker 6: ghost Face, genuine, Tyrie Jam and Lewis.
- 1:07:15Speaker 9: I felt like de f GM didn't treat you like
- 1:07:17Speaker 9: a regular artist.
- 1:07:18Speaker 6: Right with Total in one twelve, I would see them
- 1:07:22Speaker 6: out in the club like bad Boy would have him
- 1:07:24Speaker 6: ount deaf GM artists, deaf GM would have them out.
- 1:07:26Speaker 9: I didn't see you def Jam put you out as
- 1:07:29Speaker 9: much like that was it because you didn't want.
- 1:07:30Speaker 7: To go out or I probably didn't know what to
- 1:07:31Speaker 7: do it because he was R and B.
- 1:07:33Speaker 10: I think a lot of it. Yeah.
- 1:07:34Speaker 33: First of all, I hate going out, Okay, so if
- 1:07:36Speaker 33: I didn't have to be there, that's why you always
- 1:07:39Speaker 33: be like Yo, you had know that stuff about you
- 1:07:40Speaker 33: because I know how to.
- 1:07:43Speaker 10: Be over here.
- 1:07:44Speaker 33: So yeah, I mean I wasn't really big on going out,
- 1:07:47Speaker 33: or when I did, it'd be I'd be somewhere else
- 1:07:49Speaker 33: unless I had to be, you know, somewhere with them.
- 1:07:52Speaker 18: You got you, did you guys?
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: Well?
- 1:07:54Speaker 17: Mike, I saw you say that you feel like you
- 1:07:56Speaker 17: know you guys first album. Without that, you don't think
- 1:07:59Speaker 17: the arm you would be as prevalent or as worldwide
- 1:08:01Speaker 17: as it is right now.
- 1:08:02Speaker 31: So yeah, the mind frame was we started that whole trend.
- 1:08:06Speaker 31: It's like the way music sounds now. One twelve had
- 1:08:08Speaker 31: a lot to do with that because no one can
- 1:08:10Speaker 31: really give us a group that did it the way
- 1:08:14Speaker 31: that we did it before one twelve, Like as far
- 1:08:16Speaker 31: as singing over hip hop beats and stuff like that,
- 1:08:19Speaker 31: like you I challenged in but finding a group that
- 1:08:21Speaker 31: did it because back in the day, what you had
- 1:08:23Speaker 31: ther a side and you had the B side right,
- 1:08:25Speaker 31: and then on the B side, so the records right,
- 1:08:27Speaker 31: they had the records, you had the uptempo record where
- 1:08:29Speaker 31: they were singing, but they were always all that singing
- 1:08:33Speaker 31: over uptempo beats and stuff. It was like it was confusing.
- 1:08:36Speaker 7: Puff.
- 1:08:36Speaker 31: One one thing that Puff told us was like when
- 1:08:39Speaker 31: you're in the club, when you when you're recording a record,
- 1:08:41Speaker 31: right sing the song as if you're in the club
- 1:08:44Speaker 31: drinking and you're trying to holler at the girl. You
- 1:08:46Speaker 31: ain't eve gonna be in this girl talking about Yeah,
- 1:08:49Speaker 31: you gonna I want to be with you, you know
- 1:08:55Speaker 31: what I mean. It's gonna be something smoothing. So when
- 1:08:57Speaker 31: we wrote records, we wrote the up timbo records in
- 1:08:59Speaker 31: the and Slim having the voice being able to just
- 1:09:02Speaker 31: lay on the tracks the way that we did, Like
- 1:09:04Speaker 31: that started an hold ever where people now like when
- 1:09:07Speaker 31: you hear R and B it has a hip hop
- 1:09:09Speaker 31: element to it as well.
- 1:09:10Speaker 7: It's not just R and B. It's a hip hop element.
- 1:09:13Speaker 8: Isn't that the bad boy formula? Or wasn't that Diddy?
- 1:09:15Speaker 8: Like I feel like Diddy did that like with Josie.
- 1:09:17Speaker 8: I feel like he did that with Mary J. Blige,
- 1:09:19Speaker 8: like he did that.
- 1:09:19Speaker 31: With I'll give You That, I'll give you Mary J.
- 1:09:22Speaker 31: Blige because yeah, she she helped, uh because we always
- 1:09:25Speaker 31: say that Mary is between Mary and one twelve, but
- 1:09:27Speaker 31: one twelve really and then yeah, puff did you know
- 1:09:29Speaker 31: he did contribute it because we came in with just
- 1:09:31Speaker 31: we aren't beat, we aren't be bro, like forget all
- 1:09:33Speaker 31: that stuff, man, like hip hop that's gonna cheapen our
- 1:09:35Speaker 31: sound and all this sudden stuff. And he's had the
- 1:09:37Speaker 31: vision was like, Yo, this is what's gonna separate y'all
- 1:09:41Speaker 31: from the drew Hills, from the Jaggets, from the you know,
- 1:09:43Speaker 31: the Ajets and all these other groups that were coming
- 1:09:45Speaker 31: out at the same time.
- 1:09:46Speaker 14: And you know what that that didn't make perfect sense
- 1:09:48Speaker 14: right instead of all I would love to come up
- 1:09:51Speaker 14: to me and let me tell you what.
- 1:09:58Speaker 7: Exactly. That's exactly what it was. You ain't gonna be
- 1:10:02Speaker 7: able to sing.
- 1:10:03Speaker 23: So he's like, bro, all of that in my ear,
- 1:10:04Speaker 23: Like I don't want to hear all that.
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
- 1:10:06Speaker 8: So that's you agree with Mike's assessment. Not to start
- 1:10:08Speaker 8: any arguments here, but case still agree with that.
- 1:10:11Speaker 33: Yeah, I mean it was it was part of it.
- 1:10:13Speaker 33: I mean that during that era, but that's when hip
- 1:10:15Speaker 33: hop and R and B was Yeah, so pretty much.
- 1:10:19Speaker 7: And I feel like bad Boy wasn't the form in
- 1:10:20Speaker 7: front of U.
- 1:10:21Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
- 1:10:22Speaker 30: Yeah, total was hip hop with that touch of R
- 1:10:24Speaker 30: and B, R and B group, but I think we
- 1:10:27Speaker 30: were more base hip hop.
- 1:10:28Speaker 9: With the touch of R and B.
- 1:10:29Speaker 30: And Mary definitely was the pioneer of that sound when
- 1:10:33Speaker 30: Puff did the remixes with Jodasy, because Jodasy was just.
- 1:10:36Speaker 9: The R and B and then Het the hip hop element.
- 1:10:39Speaker 7: Ghost facing Ray Kuon on the Freaking You remix.
- 1:10:41Speaker 8: You know, like I can't even I don't want to hear,
- 1:10:43Speaker 8: can't you see without Biggie part? Like I hate hated
- 1:10:46Speaker 8: when some of the urban stations back in the day
- 1:10:48Speaker 8: didn't play Raptors, just playing the RB.
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: I hated. I was like, yeah, I would go before
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: that's no facts record, right, yes.
- 1:11:02Speaker 7: Because they didn't want a lot didn't play. How do
- 1:11:06Speaker 7: y'all balance egos?
- 1:11:08Speaker 8: You know, you know, when you're dealing with three legendary
- 1:11:10Speaker 8: actual all had that individual moments, you know.
- 1:11:14Speaker 7: It's it's a respect level. Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 1:11:16Speaker 31: It's like because I'm I'm actually fans. Yeah, actually like that,
- 1:11:23Speaker 31: And I know it sounds cliche with.
- 1:11:24Speaker 7: It, but it's the truth. And you know we we
- 1:11:27Speaker 7: so often we don't tell the truth.
- 1:11:28Speaker 31: You know, we're getting this type or form or whatever,
- 1:11:30Speaker 31: but we are genuinely like total was our first pick
- 1:11:34Speaker 31: to be on this room. One twelve to a Case
- 1:11:36Speaker 31: was our first pick to be on this because in
- 1:11:38Speaker 31: Case his catalog, we just spoke about his catalog ridiculous,
- 1:11:42Speaker 31: total ridiculous, one twelve ridiculous.
- 1:11:44Speaker 7: And we wanted to bring back.
- 1:11:45Speaker 31: That nineties nostalgia, you know, and just bring back that
- 1:11:48Speaker 31: whole era of I knew where I was when I
- 1:11:50Speaker 31: heard only You for the first time, you know, I
- 1:11:53Speaker 31: knew where I was when I heard Cupid, when I
- 1:11:55Speaker 31: heard I'm Missing You, and when I heard can't you
- 1:11:56Speaker 31: See for the first.
- 1:11:57Speaker 23: Time, Like I remember where I was when I heard
- 1:11:59Speaker 23: these not what it was.
- 1:12:00Speaker 12: To be I was.
- 1:12:06Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:12:06Speaker 33: I think that ego is healthy on the tour, especially
- 1:12:09Speaker 33: like this, because you have to if you use it
- 1:12:11Speaker 33: the right way. Like for me, it's like, Okay, I'm
- 1:12:14Speaker 33: gonna try to kill everybody. They're gonna feel the same,
- 1:12:16Speaker 33: and then the fans the one that wins, as opposed

- 1:12:38Speaker 10: Was that ever a low time for y'all?
- 1:12:40Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it definitely was.
- 1:12:43Speaker 31: I think for us, the resurgence of the nineties, you know,
- 1:12:46Speaker 31: was was something that was what we appreciated more than anything,
- 1:12:49Speaker 31: and that happened about what maybe almost like six seven
- 1:12:51Speaker 31: years ago.
- 1:12:52Speaker 7: It was like what the pandemic did.
- 1:12:55Speaker 32: You didn't know when you didn't know what the state
- 1:12:59Speaker 32: of music and how the industry and how we were
- 1:13:01Speaker 32: going to perform was going to be. Remember, everybody started
- 1:13:06Speaker 32: experimenting with the whole you know.
- 1:13:08Speaker 7: Taping, you know, and then video.
- 1:13:11Speaker 32: It was just, yeah, I thought we were going to
- 1:13:14Speaker 32: just it's going to be that, you know, so so
- 1:13:17Speaker 32: much gratitude now to you know what I mean, see
- 1:13:19Speaker 32: it for where it is, and and we feel like it's.
- 1:13:22Speaker 7: A blessing that of all the errors they chose to pick,
- 1:13:27Speaker 7: they picked the nineties. You know what I'm saying, So
- 1:13:30Speaker 7: thank you. I would want to go back, just I
- 1:13:32Speaker 7: really want to experience it in New York like.
- 1:13:36Speaker 10: You would left at me.
- 1:13:39Speaker 17: I forget that one time you laughed at me. I
- 1:13:42Speaker 17: feel like the time that you guys were like like
- 1:13:46Speaker 17: the top, it was such a good time here. It
- 1:13:48Speaker 17: doesn't seem real, like when we hear the stories or
- 1:13:51Speaker 17: like like I'm listening to y'all talk about just walking
- 1:13:55Speaker 17: in the studio, big big, he's just there and like,
- 1:13:57Speaker 17: you know, I can't imagine.
- 1:14:00Speaker 18: And just being like on top, yeah, like in.
- 1:14:03Speaker 31: That time, but you're working so hard that you don't
- 1:14:05Speaker 31: even realize it, you know what I mean, Like you
- 1:14:07Speaker 31: don't even realize what it took us to step away
- 1:14:10Speaker 31: from it, you know.
- 1:14:11Speaker 7: And and okay, we can use it as our downtime,
- 1:14:13Speaker 7: you know, and say that that was the time.
- 1:14:15Speaker 31: For us to go back and look at it and say, man,
- 1:14:18Speaker 31: we we did more than just seeing you know, we
- 1:14:21Speaker 31: contributed to a culture, like we we are part of history,
- 1:14:24Speaker 31: you know.
- 1:14:26Speaker 7: Yeah, so that was amazing.
- 1:14:28Speaker 31: It's looking at it now being older, like you're looking
- 1:14:31Speaker 31: at it now because my kids now they're they're going
- 1:14:33Speaker 31: back and they googling, like dad, y'all y'all the pieces
- 1:14:35Speaker 31: of cream the video, you know, my kid, no, because
- 1:14:42Speaker 31: I don't go around don't. I don't go around here
- 1:14:44Speaker 31: looking you know, I don't. I don't do that, you know,
- 1:14:47Speaker 31: Like they just they grew up as normal as I
- 1:14:51Speaker 31: I hoped I could, because I could teach them to be,
- 1:14:53Speaker 31: because it's such a mental strain that the industry takes.
- 1:14:58Speaker 31: Like it gives, but it also takes. One of the
- 1:15:00Speaker 31: things is, you know, the lack of you know, the
- 1:15:03Speaker 31: mental of health that comes along. You know what I'm
- 1:15:07Speaker 31: saying with that, because you're you're inundated with all of this.
- 1:15:10Speaker 31: You know, you have to be perfect every time you
- 1:15:13Speaker 31: see you're out, you all, your face has always got
- 1:15:15Speaker 31: to be right, your clothes got to always be right.
- 1:15:18Speaker 23: Or man, they don't fell off, bro, Like.
- 1:15:20Speaker 7: I just came from the jail, you know.
- 1:15:22Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think the camera messed that up there.
- 1:15:25Speaker 6: The camera messed it up because when like the reason
- 1:15:27Speaker 6: I asked if he was out is I would see
- 1:15:29Speaker 6: everybody out right. I was a kid growing up, So
- 1:15:32Speaker 6: I would go to grass tooms and see y'all. One
- 1:15:33Speaker 6: hundred twenty fifth Trier, go to the tunnel and see y'all.
- 1:15:36Speaker 6: In the tunnel of different things, and there was no
- 1:15:38Speaker 6: VIP area. That's what it does, and it gave you
- 1:15:43Speaker 6: a connection with the artists. But there was no phone,
- 1:15:45Speaker 6: so it was no I'm taking a picture. There was
- 1:15:47Speaker 6: no The only thing that you would possibly do if
- 1:15:49Speaker 6: you want, and nobody wanted to look corny. But you
- 1:15:51Speaker 6: might ask for an autograph, but nobody wanted to come
- 1:15:53Speaker 6: in the club and do that. So it gave you
- 1:15:55Speaker 6: you enjoying the moment, and I feel like people are
- 1:15:57Speaker 6: not enjoying the moment.
- 1:15:59Speaker 30: I did that, and I'm like, I've never went live ever,
- 1:16:03Speaker 30: went live on Instagram, and I.
- 1:16:06Speaker 10: Wasn't expecting this.

- 1:16:11Speaker 30: I'm like, I'm on live, y'all this be and she
- 1:16:14Speaker 30: started speaking and I started crying. I was not expecting it.
- 1:16:17Speaker 30: I was like, okay, guys, I gotta go. Literally, I
- 1:16:19Speaker 30: might have been filming for like ten seconds. You gotta
- 1:16:22Speaker 30: be in the moment because it's an experience, you know
- 1:16:25Speaker 30: what I mean?
