• 6:23
  Speaker 1: under quarantine. Yeah, this was under quarantine. Oh shit, Okay,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: everything on this album is brand new. I mean, I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: guess that makes sense. You know a lot of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: content that I heard, and then obviously the name of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the album, that would that makes sense? Yeah, so that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that does. Just lets you know, we once this quarantine hit,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: we made a decision that we was gonna come together.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: We got we got in a secret location on the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: south side of Atlanta and once the Beat Star flowing,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the first record we recorded it was Survival Kit, the
• 6:51

  Speaker 1: It's a it's a long time coming. Like you said,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: uh ce Lo the original nine on the project. You know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: we've we've we've noticed how hard it is to get
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: an Andre versus fans over over x amount of years.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You know. We sometimes will get one a year and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: just be super excited. It might pop up on a
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Jeez album or a remix or something. It's only right
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: that he's on the new Goodie Mob album. But how how,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: how how the Andre verse come to be? And like
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: was it was it difficult? I know it's not difficult
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: because you'll have a family, but like you know, that's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: an important verse to have on a Goodie Mob album
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: with organized noise behind the production. Man, we won't even
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: speak about the difficulties or whatnot. I mean, like you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: we were just only speak about the end result. I mean,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: like you know, and the end result is the camaraderie,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the connection, you know, the respect, the dignity, the love,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like you know, the blood.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, like you know that we it's a it's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a family thing. You know what I mean, like, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you know, we we embrace each other's in differences. Man,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: That's that's part of what made us very special. Man,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Like you know, everybody's unique in their own right and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: reserves the right you mean, like to be that you
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: mean like and voice that you mean like and so
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like dreams one of those highly interitable people. Mean it's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: an artist artist, you know what I mean. And I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: also like to consider myself as such. But like since
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you know, since we speaking of him, you know what
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like, you know, we've grown to grown to
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: just embrace the fact that man like something that he's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: truly not into, you know what I mean, Like you
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: know he into it, and I've seen dog like just
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: just like you know, just for fun, I just tell you, man,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: we see more turned down multi millions of dollars. Everybody
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: know that, you know what I'm saying. Like, we get
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: also abody to laugh at that because it's like yo,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: like you know, and that way the ball was set.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So anything that he decaid that he don't listen to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: want to do, who got no passion for it, you
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, nobody couldn't really argue with
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that because we don't see him turned out no. I
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: was so excited. You know, it's crazy because as a fan,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I was afraid that I was going to die without
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: ever seeing Outcasts perform in my life. And then a
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: few years ago they did that festival run and I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: got to see them in Tampa and I was like,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: all right, that's off the bucket list, you know, But
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's been so much energy that's led
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: up to your guys' moment here. I want to also
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: shut out. I feel like casts coming together for that
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: festival run, and then the importance of the documentary that
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: came out about Organized Noise. I think that also brought
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of awareness to just that whole wave of
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of what you guys brought to the game. And then
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: now we're here and we have a new album, Survival Kit.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I want to go back to the early Dungeon Family days.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of people who a lot of people
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: don't know or associate with Dungeon Family, and I want
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to kind of get your guys with some contexts and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: some takes on being around because I heard Usher was
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a part of the Dungeon Family at least around y'all
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: super early, and the same thing with Future. Obviously Future
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: just got a tattooed on his arm. But but can
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you guys kind of talk about like like being around them,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: like Usher obviously was a kid from what I I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: think I talked the big boy about it. But you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: just the important historical context of what's come from your
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: guys's tree. We could throw Usher in that, we could
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: throw Future in that. What was it like being around
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: those guys before we all obviously you know, knew who
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: they were. Who got it was family, man, You know
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It wasn't really nothing exciting about being
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: abound none of who was excited because we loved each other,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Nobody had really accomplished nothing
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: great in that particular time, So you know what I'm saying,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: The magic was just just being around people that you love,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: people that support you, and people that support you know
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And they were younger than us, little brothers.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: They used to watch us, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: They used to come to the studio. I can remember
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: seeing you know, we used to call Future meet here
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: back in the day. I can remember the first time
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: he came to the studio. You know, Rico was like, yeah,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: this is my little cousin. You know what I'm saying.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I met he was real cool, real real quiet guy,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you know, soft spoken, one with a loud He liked
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to learn, He liked to sit around and really peep
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: out of everything, and everything was working. And I can
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: remember popping in back in the day, like the Dungeon
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: was was always just an open door policy for all
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of us. So I mean, you can go to the Dungeon.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Man at three in the morning, you know what I'm saying. Oh,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: third in the morning. You know what I'm saying, somebody
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: gonna be up. You know what I'm saying. And it's
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: gonna be somebody kicking with talking to kicking for a
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: few minutes. And if you want to go home, you
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: can do that. You want to stay, you can stay,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I can remember coming in
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and seeing Future just working in the studio. Just I'm like,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: who is that? So like, man, that's me. Damn. You know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: he well working, you know, he putting it in. You know.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I could really just see his energy and his passion. Yeah,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and it showed and it's still showing you know what
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, he wonder he wanted the best in the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: game right now. You know what I'm saying, period, hands down.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Can't nobody argue with that, you know what I mean.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And it's lovely to know, you know, we saw him grow,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and the good thing about it when we team this
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: day is still the love and respect there, you know
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because you know, he a real gentleman,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a real guy, you know, real Dunblon family member. And
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: then you know what I'm saying, that's how we rolled.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, Usher, I don't remember seeing him around there,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: but I do remember seeing he wrote something on that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: hot water hitter. He wrote Usher was trying to figure
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: out who was Usher? What was that? You know? I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: never knew what that meant that I remember meeting him.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: He was a little kid. Yeah, yeah, he was a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: little He was a child, just like oh yeah, who
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: else came out from the under that you didn't know
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: about it? You ain't say nothing about that's mister Barbara Valentino. Okay.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: They used to come over there all the time. Remember
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: they were little kids, you know what I mean, coming
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: over there. You know what I'm saying, sucking up game,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, getting tracks, you know what
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, learning, learning the ropes, learning how to move,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And Bobbit held on to it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I was closer to him because I knew
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: me and Koujoe and Gilt graduated from high school with
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: his older sister. So that's family. That's little Marcella to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the end, you know what I mean. So you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: we all family, we all brothers, we all love each other,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: we all support each other. Man. That's just how it
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: is right here around the Dungeon family. Man, I did. Wow,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing to see it. Man, it's a
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing. What was for you guys, Like when obviously
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you say you got any of this ad? All right,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: we got to make an album having organized noise handle
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the production? Was that, like I'm assuming there was just
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a mutual understanding that like, if we're gonna do this,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: there's only one way we'll do it, and that's the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: of them be behind the boards. Is that is? That was?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: It was that that would have to be the easiest
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: decision I'm assuming with this project. Yeah at the time, Yeah,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Joe. I mean, you can say something to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: it just felt good. Not they had the big motherfuckers
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: for beats or big motherfuckers for tracks. You know what
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I have to worry about, man, how much
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I charge for a track? Sit just one hundred thousand,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Oh damn for real. So they felt good, Man, to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: just go back in the ring, man with somebody we
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: were familiar with, Man, go ahead, yep, familiar with is
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: all the way. I think that that that brought the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: comfort down for everybody. It really gave everybody in this
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: group a real chance to sit back and say, Okay,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? What am I gonna bring
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to this project. At the same time, you and they
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: were doing the same thing amongst them, you know, sleepy
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and rat you know what I mean, like and like
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: even doing the app like on some song. Bro, we
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: got up to nine weeks on just one record, you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So that's how that's how diligent
• 15:12

• 16:05
  Speaker 1: then n Als Barkley came out, was crazy, and you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: were a superstar in your own right. How how like
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: is it dope to be able to introduce fans of
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: yours that might not be Goodie Mob fans to Goodie
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Mob twenty five years later, Because there are fans of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: yours that might not They might be just surface level
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Selo fans, Then I might not like dig into the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: fact that you came from Goodie Mob. How dope is
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that to bring a bunch of new fans to the party.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Because my mom is a is a se Loo fan.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: She don't know what the fuck Goodie Mob is, but
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: she knows who you are. You know what I'm saying,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: right right? You know, I don't mind surface level Selo
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Green fans, but I do mind superficial Selo Green fans.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. And that's a difference, you
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like the ones that are truly
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: aware of me, they are aware the root of you
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, like in the forge, the way
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: it comes from. You know what I mean, Like you
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: know why you know, why not why not followed me back?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Why why not trace me back to the beginning what
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like you feel me? So you know it's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: not it's not a conflict of interest, not not not
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to me, you know what I'm saying, like or anyone
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: for that matter. You know what I'm saying, like you know,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: like it's only weight to leverage with you know what
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, like you know, and weight weight distribution. You
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So you know I believe that personally,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I believe that you know, any any win you know
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: on this side of it, I mean, like it's a
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: win for everyone. So you know, I believe that Nol's
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Barcoley see little Green, you know what I mean, Like,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and any success associated with it, you know, extends itself
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: from Dungeon family. So it's essentially and ultimately a Dungeon
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: family win. No different than when outcas it, like when
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: speak about flood be logo to to it's rather amal year.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: How we got album of the Year. You know what
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's that's how I look at it, you
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And and that that that's it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: That's me trying to really keep that simple, you know
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: what I mean. But like, but no, man, it's it's
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: it's all relative and it's derivative of where something started
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: from a starting point, you know what I'm saying. So
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: you know, having the support system, having the success ratio
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, and the strength of the mob and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of the Dungeon family you know behind me. You know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, like is what propelled me to those heights.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, you know, even if
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it was used as a barama of something I wanted
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: to do better or do more of, you know what
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, but all in an effort to represent you know,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: not only my family saying like you know, but our city.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: You know. I mean, like to the best of my
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: natural ability. You know what I mean, And so what
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: you hear is just the humility that that come along
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: with that. I mean, like, so like I wasn't I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: ain't never really tripping and say you feel me, like
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: because my feet my feet in the dirt. Man, I
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: could the dirt. I'm just a I ain't an trip
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: off starter man. Like you know, I'm a tall tree,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like or a tall and
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: even taller antilla. So I'm up there. Why pick up?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I pick up a signal, you know what I'm saying, like,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and I get the message and I transmit and transcend
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and that's it. Hey, When I was coming up, man,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I remember as because I'm a I'm a diehard Outcast fan,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: diehard Dungeon family fan. When when you guys all came
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: together for even in darkness, right, I thought that was
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm even like I remember cool or Cool
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Breeze is East boys finest album that watched for the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: hook was my ship. I'm a huge Dungeon Family fan,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: so when everybody got together and made even in Darkness,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: it was crazy. Can you guys give me some like
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: a story or two about the making of the actual
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Dungeon Family album, because I think that that album is
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: very slept on and doesn't get enough I don't hear
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: enough conversation of praise about how dope that project was.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: That's a good example. And using Cool Breeze Eastports Gradies hit,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's song watched with a hook man like
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: you know, that's when you know his project was launched
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: off the back of Organized Noise, you know, you know,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: uh opening up the doors, you know, cutting the ribbon
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: on their new label, Organized Lowse Records. You know what
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like you know, uh Organized Noise, uh via Interscope,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that was that was
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a big look, you know what I mean. And so
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: we all came together, you know, like with the camaraderie,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: with the teamwork to make that dream work. You mean,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: like for the homie, you know what I mean. No
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: difference than he showed up for us when he coined
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the phrase dirty South what I mean like and linded
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that them saying you feel me to uh to to
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Goodie Mob's debut album, So like you, I mean, like
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you know the love is reciprocated, you know what I mean,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Like you feel me always acknowledge it where it's due,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you know, like you
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: want no egos and that and none of that kind
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: of shit. I mean, like the it was a homie
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: turn we we we we you know, we teamed up,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you know it that sit up on the field with it,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: That's what it was about. Yeah, But with the with
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the even in Darkness album, what was that? Like, that's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: that's a hard thing to pull everybody together, especially at
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: that point of everyone's careers because you guys are all
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: at that point in time, cast is fucking out of
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: here and then you got out of here and to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: bring everyone together? What what? What? What was I'm assuming
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: that was it organized noise? It kind of quarterback the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: greater process for that project? Like or what was it?
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: What was making that album? Like it was organized? No
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: because I mean we was both on tour, likes was
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: doing Smoking Gruves tour. I think Goodie Marble was out
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: with Uh. I think we just came off Fishbone in
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Daylight Soul to oh Ship. So so it was it
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: was it was a real crazy time. So we was
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: doing the records in and out, coming in and out
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: of town, you know, like, so we didn't really get
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to start to even do that do that album. We
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: didn't get the tour a lot because just our schedules. Man,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: it was just we were just doing so much at
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: that time. I can imagine with this project, what uh
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: what what was the with the word survival kid? I mean,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: like when I see that and labels don't support big
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: albums like that, Bro, why that stuff only happened every
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: so often? Not because they don't want to see something great,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like you know, but because logistically,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: projects like that are expensive to do. You know what
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's a lot of working parts, you know,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: especially if everyone's on different labels, different labels and different
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: tax brackets and pay grades. That Yeah, it takes a
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: lot of humility from everyone involved, right Yeah. Yeah, because
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: like you said, there might be somebody who be like, yo, man,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I do it, but I need more than this person.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: And it's like now we're not doing it for that.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: We're doing it because about having more than that person.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: It's about I need what I deserve, right, because you're
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: gonna turn to write back around and promote this to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: my audience, some said, the audience that I've earned and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: work for. So if you gonna send it back to them,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, and you know, at
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: least give me yah, damn you know what I need. Shit,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm curious, was there ever a record or any sort
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: of moment creatively that you guys as a group regret
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: looking back on on on your guys' career. I got
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: some I got. I'm gonna I'm gonna speak on this
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: shop since since I had, damn there everything to do
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: with it. You know, even though now we we come
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: in together and we talk about now, we laugh about
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it now, But like I gotta say, another age of
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Get Machine album, you know, it's some regretful parts on
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: there for me, man, because I think the ambition was
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: blind and man like, you know, we was in another
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: spectrum and spear man like, you know, an atmosphere around
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: that time and trying to correlate you know, I'm saying,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: like core audience with commercial uppeal, you know, and so
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: on and so forth, and just trying to try to
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: pull it off. And that's that's me, man, Like you know,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, I think it was some
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: some different kind of malfunctions. And they're like songs like
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Amy and My Very First White Girl, and you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: people people like, oh my god, what it's good. Yeah,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: it's funny because I felt that as a fan, was
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: gonna say. I know that. That's why I'm being honest
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: with you. I'm being transparent because we've got to people.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: That's a real conversation that we had. But you know what,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: you guys have tried this before in twenty thirteen. You
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and you know what I'm saying.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Check it out. So it's like Bill and Mom always
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: been controversial, you know and dangerous something like you know,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: like the South's most dangerous group is I like to,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: you know, look at it. So with that, I felt
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: like it lent itself to you know, a larger conversation.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: But it was supposed to be shock value, controversy, blah
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, but instead of that, it just
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: ended up just being a connect I mean, like and disappointment,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: like you know, because you know we might even have
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to we might didn't have to reach that far. Sometimes
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: sometimes you want to reach to to uh you know
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: what I mean, like to to graph you know. Uh,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: what you feel like is what you feel is when
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: you're in your reach. But sometimes you stretch yourself to thin,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I will say that
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I can be honest in saying that in retrospect. But
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: then there were some moments I think people also maybe
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: listen back to that project now, especially especially after we
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: nail it with this project. I think people are uh
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: listen back to that and be like, Okay, I can
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: appreciate it more and and see it in a different
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: light for what they were trying to do in that
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: time period. What I'm saying, you feel me, but like
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the missing link of that album was the cohesive uh
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: sonic uh you know SOUNDBD you know, and just and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: just the energy you know, and the affection of organized noise.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah. If you if you do something back
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: befault and everybody not not you know, you can't have
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: you can't expect me might have to halfway support you, man, Like,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: don't never ask nobody to stratle fit for you man,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: like never no neutrals with us may either paup or drive.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, right, I think it's safe
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: to say, like, the people who are screaming they want
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: a Goodiemole album in twenty twenty are the people who
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: want y'all to work with organized boys. They're the people
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: who like, they're like, yo, you know, I think that
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: there's something to be said about I just listened to
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys heard the new Bust
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: of Rhymes album. Yeah, yeah, great album, right, But I
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: heard his album and I was like, yo, but Buster
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: did not like Busted. He took his time on the album.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: But what he did was he made an album that
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: he knew his core diehard fans would appreciate in twenty twenty, right,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: And I feel like when I when this and that
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: album got announced, I was just so excited. Man. I
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: was excited because if it would have been announced without
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: organized nos, I would have checked it out. But I
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, sonically, this is gonna be something cohesaid,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: this is gonna bring back you know, this is and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and and and maybe the gift in the Curse of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the pandemic. You know, we're getting a lot of great
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: music out of this pandemic. Hey, yo, gift Joe Mo.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Did I say anything wrong about that? Oh? No, that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: was man. I mean I loved I loved the Age
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Gainst Machine. I mean, you know what I'm saying. I
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: mean a few song choices. Like you said, I mean,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: we could have we could have did something else, but
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: for me, it was two songs for me that I wish, Like, damn,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I wish I had a guy, and it was Dirty
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: South and Black Ice, right, And we tried to do
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: remixes for him, but they was not the same, right
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: you feel what I'm saying, Like, like we tried to
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: do the remix with with Mystical with uh it was
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the Dirty South remix with and then we did I
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: forgot who produced the Black Ice remix. I think DJ
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: was still the same, wasn't it. Yeah? Okay, okay, okay,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: but yeah, those are the two songs that I like,
• 28:02

• 29:42
  Speaker 1: we're here in twenty twenty. You guys did an album
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: after that, but like that specific just era of your guys'
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: relationship in the group. And at that point in time,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I think, Celo, you're on your second solo album by then.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I think, so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, So what
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: what was that era like? Because at that time, hey, man,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, bro and look good the Sino Greens
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: perfect imperfection. That's my ship's point. When you dropped that
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: ship and oh too, I was like, this ship did
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: not just this is what I wanted from a Sino
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: while it was man, I appreciate that, but you want
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: to take that with Joe Gift. Come on, man, somebody
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: speak that. Yeah, yeah shit, I mean, like I said,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: all of us, all of us grew up together, you
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it wasn't nothing malicious to with,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: like shit, when I see that nigga, it's on on
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: site type ship, So it ain't it was. It wasn't
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: never like that, you know what I mean. So it
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: was just us being finding another way to communicate, you
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying with our fans, even though you
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. We had we had all little
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: brother with us, you know what I mean. But it
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: was much since I remember seeing Selo. I didn't got
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: THEMN Denmark. One day, you know what I'm saying. We
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: was in a festival somewhere. We were just I was
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: walking around, man, and I forgot what year was that
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: though you rememb when you're the one that was that
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: was that was that's like hold on, that's that's like
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: six that and when that one one album come out?
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: When that come out right, oh four oh foe. So
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: we were still working and everything. Man. I just happened
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: to see Selo out and gotten there a whole nother
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: country man and Denmark man. We was just like like,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: damn man, what's up? A little bro like man? See
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: your man? Man? It was instant love man. So I
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: still remember what you had on your white dicky short
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: set was with a green shirt up front. It what
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you were that one white who knows what you'all were
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: wearing because there was a mind frame staatele Get was
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: wearing some wild ship and see what he was wearing
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: wild ship? I mean it was I'm gonna tell you
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: where that came from. I could probably answer that to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: you because you started a lot of this ship. Man.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say that was my next question, how
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: much of this ship to get star when it comes
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to the why, because I feel like he don't get
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: enough praise when it comes to you don't introduce a
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: lot of that wild fashion ship into the game. What
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna let he gonna speak for something I
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: can want to speak on, you know, just say this
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: because you know within our round, he was definitely you
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, like doing it, you know the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: first like even before I even really knew Gift, I
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: knew up Gift and guilt had really kind of made
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: a name for himself from kind of going against the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: graind So everybody went gold, get more seal, you know
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And that's how I knew him, like
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I had been introduced to or he had been spoken of,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Like I'm like, you know, you know, give me a seal.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: So you can just tell that was you know, that
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: was like a call and car. That was a trademark,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: like apparently it was noticeable and ship in that time,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But you know, you know,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the big homies a little older than me, so I
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: would only hear about certain stuff. But so Gil was
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: definitely making a mark even in high school, was just
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: going are away with it, you know what I mean.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Like he's definitely embellished on that within the group, you
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like you know, and then in
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: an extension of that, everybody had some of the shit
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: in them, you know what I'm saying, Like you know,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: and especially when George Clinton christened us the Young parliament forkadelic,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like, which basically gave us
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: a license to ill. You know what I'm saying, Like
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: we can do anything we want to just do, you
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: know what I mean like and and the god Mothers say,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: it's okay, right, were snapped. You know what I'm saying.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: You feel me like, We're definitely snappy. I just want
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: to what so double Body, because we all we all
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: goody googles. You know what I'm saying. You feel me
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: like all sweet niggas, all real you know what I mean,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Like if we could defend our right to be different
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: in the drop of a dime. You know what I'm saying.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: You feel me So it was no different than Africa
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Body and the Soul suning for us being the Black
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Spades before they christened themselves. You know Africa about Zulu Nation,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you know I mean, like so when they was wearing
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: them costuming back then, It's like imagine being in the
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: middle of the burnt down Bronx with them fucking God
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: damn them roll, you know what I'm saying. Like so
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: it was probably the same kind of effect, That's what
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I'm liking it towards. And they got away with it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: And I knew they was. They was thorough because I
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: knew the backstory. So anybody from Atlanta, they knew what
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: our backstory was, and they knew we could defend it.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: They're like, what sh had? Man, we just got to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: catch up to these niggas because they are some they
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: on some extraterrestrial art form type shit. And hey, man,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: we ain't gonna say nothing. We can't say nothing about it,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You feel me like, because
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: we want we were. It was interesting, it was intriguing,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: and people wanted to understand what the expression was about.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: But it was just the rights of passage to be
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: you know, just the individuals that we were, you know,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I mean like we we fought for that, you know
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like, and it was an easy win too,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: because like we broke, we had nuts. Man, what I'm
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: saying like nuts, I knew for a fact. I'm like, man, shit,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Like what the fuck? Somebody gonna tell us what we
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: can't do? You know what I'm saying, Like, Man, we laugh,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: we might even laugh for we get mad. You know
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You being like, but I got to
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: tell you in thirty years, man, like, ain't nobody never
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: disrespected us, bro I don't want a way bress man like,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: nobody listen, you are silver or is it gold? You?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: You were just a gold you when you went to
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: that award show you was right when your whole head
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: was gold and all gold that you win has the award.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I went, So, you know what I'm saying, like, it's
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: all fun, it's all exhibitionism, passion tree, you know what
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I'm saying Like, it's definitely just being brave enough to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: be yourself, going against the odds, being different, being definitive,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: being distinguishable, you know, setting yourself apart, and it takes
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you take heart and soul to be yourself because the
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: main identity crisis that most people in society go through
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: is not wanting to be alone. That's painful. Some people
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: don't want Some people they they they sacrifice being an
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: individual for the sake of not having to be alone,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: for the safe of being accepted by the by by people.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: You know, that's some real shit. That's really I mean,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like another thing. In the beginning, bro, it
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: was just I just realized that our dialect was different.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I realized that the way we performed was different. And
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I came up with I came up with in my
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: own here, and I was like, man, if they if
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: they don't remember nothing we said, they gonna remember what
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I looked like. I just I remember we did we
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: did a music conference in Nashville, and that was the
• 36:43

  Speaker 1: just remember seeing how they looked didn't be like wow,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: like look like he looked wild. But at the same time,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I knew that that was something that I had to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: continue to do, so I just start expounding on it.
• 37:13
