  Speaker 5: you gotta you gotta make music for you and your fans.

  Speaker 10: What about you, man, I know you're not scared of
• 4:55
  Speaker 10: getting the student Hell no, I mean I'm trying to

• 5:35
  Speaker 10: I'm like, that is the way I approach a song,
• 5:38
  Speaker 10: and it resonates with our fans. I think what he
• 5:41
  Speaker 10: found out what you know, Like he didn't figure out
• 5:44
  Speaker 10: by us being on tour. When me and him went
• 5:46
  Speaker 10: on tour, we got close to the fans and we
• 5:49
  Speaker 10: and we figured out, like, y'all really like this that
• 5:52
  Speaker 10: we do. Y'all don't want the new version of us.
• 5:55
  Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying, y'all don't need the new
• 5:57
  Speaker 10: version of us. They just like, do what you doing?

• 6:00
  Speaker 1: We're gonna bring dancing back. Is what you bring it up?
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Dance specifically shaking your ass. Yes, I know I can't.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: When you're getting the studio today many are you chasing
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: nostalgia or are you trying to create a new sound?
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: You know, I had a long time of doing that,
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: trying to say, well, you know, this is what this
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: sound like or whatever, and I'm like, this is a
• 6:30
  Speaker 10: headache trying to figure out something that you already know.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: How to do, you know.
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: So I just had that moment of like, let me
• 6:36
  Speaker 10: step back and and real real. I stopped listening to
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: just new you know what I'm saying, because it's it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 10: nothing against it, but that that's that's their.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Error, that belongs to them. And I'm like, you know what,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: let me go back to my error.
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: Let me listen to some of it that I love,
• 6:53
  Speaker 10: like a ball, m J G or whatever, like you know.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And that right.
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: There was like, okay, this this is still the same music, chords,
• 7:00
  Speaker 10: same format. And the reason why we like them songs
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: like that so much because they're easy, you know, and
• 7:06
  Speaker 10: and and we we've been using the same patterns for forever.
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: We already know them. They em better than us. It's
• 7:11
  Speaker 10: like hearing Marvin Gay, you know, and you don't even
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: know why it's timeless, why you like because it's simple
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: and it's it's it's the same that's been used in
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: music for forever and forever.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I wanted to somebody in this room. I wanted to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: know Fuego and said, is Fueg?
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: What did you I said, I said, I it's flip on,
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: like a Latin flip on.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: Get it from my mama.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Nah, I'm not gonna lie.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: But she asked that question. I'm liked. Man, it's like
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: it's the hot boys. They've been using references the fire
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: for I.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: Was trying to figure out because there was on the
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: other songs. I was trying to figure out, like if
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: you like, use one of your older songs because I
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: thought I heard like some.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Of the things.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Like she figured out, it was like so many ways
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: we fire, so many different ways. We got to, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: be innovative, and that was that was my way of
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: doing it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: I made them put the song on the other room
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: and then we was playing it together. I'm like, I
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: know I hear this, but I can't how.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Many how many fire references could.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll try it for that song.

  Speaker 7: experience with old music. Like my experience is a little
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: younger than yours.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Your mama, your mama was listening to it, probably your parents,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: right from your mom. That's where she got it from.
• 9:02

• 9:02
  Speaker 7: That's what I was saying back to the ancestors every
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: time I say something.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: But even in that album is called Boiling Point.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right, so what that's an intense title when that
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: feeds into the fire references to it?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Does?
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: That's all it is. It's really like four hundred degrees
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: twoenty twenty six basically.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: But do you chase those records?
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: The back of the ass up records?
• 9:27
  Speaker 10: And do you chase those No? No, I feel like touches.
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: When somebody tell me make one of them, I'm like,
• 9:34
  Speaker 10: I can't.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Somebody call you say make me one of them.
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: There's been so many artists that said that. You know
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: what I'm saying, like can you make me? I'm like
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: I can't that that ain't gonna happen again. That was
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: something special about that moment that day, how it went down,
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: I'm like.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: You can't tell us how it went down, beefing.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Basically, he kept changing. The first of all, I was rapping,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I wasn't doing it. Yeah, the and doing none of that.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: He kept changing. He see, his thing was I can't
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: beat him out. So I felt like I was killing
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: him on the first On the first beat, I was
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: killing I was like, damn, man. So when I got
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: back to the studio, he had to change the beat.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: It's the first time. I'm like, damn. So I changed
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: the lyrics again. I got him again. I'm like, I
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: got his ass again. So we come back, we get
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: the Nashville out of the album, gotta get turned in
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: the next day, they're like, bro, you got two days.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: You got one day to record two songs. I'm like, well, damn,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: what songs I gotta record? He said, man, we gotta
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: do huh. And you said you want to hear you
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: heard back of the ass up again? I said, nah,
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: so man, they played it to me, so now they
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: got them even changed the whole beat again. I said,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: I go in the room. Now. He tell him you
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: can't change nothing, saying you ain't changing nothing. So I
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: walk out the room, I get him my minding mood,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: and I go straight to slump, say, slim brother, he
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: done did it again. Bro y'all got a lead to
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: at least let me do something else. Let me take
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: a chance at recording another the song, so let me
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: get in there. That's how we got what we got.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: So it wasn't always the violin in the beginning.
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah, because I was just like this, you know, like
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: sometimes you know one of them that's gonna be a hit.
• 11:14
  Speaker 10: Just the DJ and me knew that this song was
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: gonna be a hit. I was like, this one is
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: gonna be a hit. And I was like the intro
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: was the setup, like, you know, because because it was
• 11:23
  Speaker 10: still the era of like whatever you're doing, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 10: you got time to get to the to the dance floor.
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: I was like, you know what, this should need a intro.
• 11:30
  Speaker 10: It needs like a little setup. When it comes down,
• 11:32
  Speaker 10: it's gonna be phenomenal, you know. And and you got
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: to think when you're telling somebody that they don't get it,
• 11:37
  Speaker 10: they're like, why you did that long assh it in
• 11:39
  Speaker 10: the beginning, And I'm like, I got this.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I know what all know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: In the clubs, they extended even longer.
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: The right right then, That's why I got a whole
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: joke in my set about it, and I come out
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: to back that ass up.
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: I go off the back that ass up. I got
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: a joke about it. I don't I don't play about
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: that song anthem of all time.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: And I wanted to do when I saw something.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it was on the still point
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: the podcast, you said everybody hated.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: The song man.
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: Well, no, Juve didn't see it, as you know, because
• 12:08
  Speaker 10: he didn't want to be known as a bounce rapper,
• 12:10
  Speaker 10: because you know, he really really he was like, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 10: I'm like, bro, this one, I promise you, this one
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: is gonna be one up.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna give you example. He wanted that to
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: be the first single, and I was totally against that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: I'm like, bro, I've been doing bounce music my whole life.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: I come over here to get away from it. I
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: don't mind doing one or two songs, but you gotta
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: let me. I want to let the world know I
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: could really rap, you know what I'm saying, And I
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: want to not just be a normal rap. I want
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: to push the needle a little bit. And I felt
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: like how I was doing that was gonna do that
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: for me. And I was right. I was right because
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: I mean my dog jay Z jumps on the remix.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: So I feel like I did do what I do
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: my thing. But guess what it didn't do. It didn't
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: send people to the record stores. I mean, so I
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: wasn't sell him because of that.

  Speaker 6: just documenting what y'all mind is today?
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: It's more like satisfying my fans and really feeding the
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: hunger of myself and seeing if I could really do it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: It's like an old cat saying I still got it.

  Speaker 5: Well, people reached out to me. But like she was
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: talking about the snippets, I put a snippet out riding
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: riding in the car with just the one version the
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: hook playing, and it went crazy and the first the
• 15:41

• 15:45
  Speaker 5: on this. I mean with ninety percent of the comments,
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Megan needs to be on this making it. So my
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: thing was okay, y'all go tell her. And they started
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: going on page telling us and they reached out to it,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: reached out for the song.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: So what's happening with the date, because wasn't it like
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: with that song specifically, it was like supposed to up
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: at one point you and megans for her verse and
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: then you changed the day and it was upset.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: I didn't have nothing to do with that. Only thing
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: I changed the data on is the album release. And
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: they was said about the album releasing, but we shocked
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: them with that because they kept asking for it. But
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: I never told him it was happening until like two
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: days before it came out.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Who's the young lady that was on it before Megan.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Her name is Genesis to God and she's cutting up
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: on I didn't take off the album for the record too,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: because that's one of my son's friends and she did
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: a great job.
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: She delivered it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: So do you go to your son more now like something?
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: Really?
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: I go to my kids for a lot. My daughter
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: runs my social media, so she does.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: A good job because it reaches outside of ye.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: She she she is stuck on algorithms. I don't even
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: understand it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: But it is just one of the people that you
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: talked to when you said at first she was feeling
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: scared like about getting in the studio making new music
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: or whatever because of everything that's out now, did you
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: talk to him about it?
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: So I'm with my baby boy, my youngest boy, almost
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: every day of the week because he's a school teacher
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: once house. I'm just an aggravating parent. I'm always his
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: house and my oldest son, our young juve. He's the
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: one that's always like telling me, Pops, you should do this,
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: you should do this, try this. So you know, it's
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: kind of like I'm the kid again, you know, like
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: they say twice a child, twice a kid. It's kind
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: of like they parenting me a little bit. And I
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: just I just listen.
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: I don't ask you, man, do you think that culture
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: is ready to respect it's elders the same way genres
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: like jazz.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Or blues did or rock and roll?
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: I think we gotta knock down walls, bro Like, it's
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: a rebirth of music for me, and it's and the
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: cool thing is that it's now or never. You know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: we got a lot of I won't call him old school,
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna say seasoned artists. That's like they making good music,
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: great albums, and it's and you're seeing the shift. You're
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: seeing people like Oh, I really like this, Like, you know,
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: it's got substance, it's got movement to it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: So I think we gotta knock down doors.
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: You know, we can't accept no more when somebody does
• 18:02
  Speaker 10: an interview and they say, I don't really rap, I
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: just do this. Well move out the way and let
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: somebody who do it do it, you know, because because
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: you got a lot of artists that do that, that
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: say like, this ain't really my thing, you know, And
• 18:13
  Speaker 10: I'm like, well, this this is really my thing.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: This is my bread and butter, you know.
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: And I think we got to knock down doors sometimes
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: and shake things up.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you think for me, I don't. I try not
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: to be so critical of the young cast because I
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: was that cat and a lot of the older cast
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: was calling what I did one rap. They said that
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: ain't rapping. I'm like, well, damn, bro, I'm taking care
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: of my family. My records is selling. I'm selling more
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: records than you, and I'm doing good. I'm doing good
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: in my life, So who cares if it's rapping or not?
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Like if my fans, the fans see me a certain way,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: I don't even care what another artist thing about. So
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: us as so now, me being that older cat, I
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: always stick my hand out to him. I always reach
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: my arm out to him, and I always try to
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: show him love. And I'm never gonna say nothing negative
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: about him, because if how do you want to see him?
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: You want to see him with a mic or you
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: want to see him with that tool in his hand, right,
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: you know? So so I try to I try to
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: think like that and try to have an open mind
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: about it, because we don't own this, and I don't
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: see no other genre of music criticizing the youngsters. I
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: don't see country doing that. I don't see r being
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: I don't see nobody else doing that. So I try
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: to tell my cast, and the cast is old before me, like,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: we don't own it, bro, we don't have ownership. We
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: don't have a union or something like that. That that
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: that that predicts how this, how this goes. So there's
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: no rules, So stop trying to make a rule.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Think we bridge that gap?
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: How do you think we get this this younger generation
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: to respect you know what came before them?
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: Just keep making dope music like you see what t
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: I doing right now with the with to let them
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: no record like dope records of don't records that they transcend,
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: you know, age like you got the BBB joint right now,
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: people loving the record. Yeah, I just think making no
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: music because I was talking about that earlier. With the
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: younger generation, I feel like because of social media, they
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: don't have they don't get the real world experience, Yeah,
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: to still be able to write well into their forties fifties.
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: If yeah, you got good odd y'all do a really
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: good job about talking about this SEP stuff on the podcast.
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: I remember it was a clip with David Banner that
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: went viral and he was talking about how y'all were
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: trying to survive the industry at one point. So y'all
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: didn't really get the chance to pass down the tools
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: because you were surviving it. And the young generation of
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: music needs that. And when I I mean, I watched
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: your show, but when I saw that, I'm like, this
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: is why y'all podcast is going to be so gold
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: because of those type of conversations, because now y'all in
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: a space where y'all could do it, and that preserves
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: it too.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I think the good thing about it is it's
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: not about us, right, It's about the person that comes
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: on and to the younger generation. I feel like I
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: feel like I'm a part of their generation. Also, I
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: mean I do music with the younger cats. Also FO
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: two Doug is one of my friend's son. Me and
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Ron full nine just did an album together, so you know,
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: and all the album album. So when I run and
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: then too young cats, I don't never treat them like that.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I don't never say I don't care. I got my opinion.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Whatever my personal opinion is of them, I keep it
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: to myself because I was taught if you ain't got
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: nothing good to say, I don't say nothing at all.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: You ain't got to spend a night with that person,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: you ain't got to be with them twenty four seven.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: So that's how I do. I try to spread the
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: love and hopefully these cats will start seeing what I'm
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: doing and follow suit.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: How that I with Rob will not come about just that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: And it's kind of crazy he say, Oh, you don't
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: like you don't. You don't A lot of the old
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: old g s don't treat us the way you do.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: And it kind of like he felt like you relate
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: to me better than everybody else.
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: What's one thing that y'all learned that you passed down
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: now that you didn't realize when you were trying to
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: survive the industry be out of yall to live in
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: and y'all.
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: Are a statement that you said. You know, it's a
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: lot of artists I don't know. I don't know what
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: it is. They don't have the guts to say. The
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: reason why I couldn't help you because I was fucked
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: up myself, you know what I'm saying.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: I was fighting fills, you know, I was trying to
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: figure out my paperwork. I was trying to figure out
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: cross my t's and dot my eyes like you know.
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: So I couldn't tell you how to do it when
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: I didn't know how to do it, you know, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: it took a while, you know, to learn, like, Okay,
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: I can't do homeboy business. I gotta really do the
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: lawyers got to show up. We can't just shake hands
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: on it no more. And if you if you say
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: it can't happen that way, then we can't do it,
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: you know, because it's it's how how can I tell
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: the next generation how to survive this when I'm still
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: doing it, you know, in a in a crazy ass manner,
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: when I'm just I'm trusting somebody who I'm like, nah, nah.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. You know when you look we had Teddy
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Rally up here, and when Teddy Rally you talk about
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: all of his city's produced, he said, we had like
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Salt and Pepper Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: put out all these records that say, to this day
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: their paperwork a't right. You start understanding like, damn, we
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: gotta pass down what we know because if not, we're
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: gonna be in the same situation over and over again.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: And we look at I look at it like a
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: sacrifice man, because you know, in the beginning, we didn't
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: have the means that the artists got. Right now, we
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: like these artists surround themselves with some of the best
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: lawyers in the best everything. Well, we didn't have those advantages.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: All those advantages was at the record companies. They had
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: all the best lawyers and the best representation. So now
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: when when when the new catch come around and they
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: they they do their business the way they do it,
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: we see it and we're like, god, damn, oh, I
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: wish we had the opportunities that they got. If we
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: had social media, even though you know it could be
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: negative in its own way. But I think if we
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: had social media in our era, when the records was
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: the record sales was through the damn roof, like ninety eight,
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: ninety nine, ninety seven, we would we would have way
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: more money, way more revenue than we have.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: It was a lot different, though, Like you said, you
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: had to be intentional to go buy an album, right,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: it wasn't You couldn't buy it online. You had to
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: go to a record store. You had to go to
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a CD spot. You had to go buy it, and
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: that whether it was rain, sleet, snow hot, you went
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to go buy that album.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: And if it was a real music hege, you ain't
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: want to hear from your pot and or your friend.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: You had to have a first.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fail, you made you better.
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: Fail, you made you better in our era because you
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: was just like, I can't fall on my face, and
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: y'all just look at me and laugh. I'll be back,
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: and when I come back, it's gonna be bigger and
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: better next time I come back, you know. And then
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: now it just seem like, you know, when shit happens,
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: how do you dust yourself off? How do you get
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: back out there? You got to do some shock value
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: shit or some crazy ship instead of just hey, dust
• 24:29
  Speaker 10: yourself off and get back out.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: You know what, though, in the days of social media,
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: it's so hard once you get once you go down,
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: to build yourself back up.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know why, because the narrative. The narrative sticks
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: with you on social media.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: So once you become a joke on social media, it
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: stays there for a long time. You could be winning
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: in real life, on social media, they'll still act like
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: you lose it big feel that you was here about
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: the business. It's interesting to hear y'all say that, because
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: I always felt like cash money they should told us
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: how to do business.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: No, we did. I'm gonna say we did business far
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: as record company business in the beginning for us as artists.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: As the artist, we didn't have our ship together. And
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: I'm not playing the finger at them, because we had
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: our ship together, none of some of the things would
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: have never happened. But yeah, as far as cash money, breaking,
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: kicking down or breaking barriers to deal for thirty million dollars,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: that definitely broke barriers.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: And I was asked, what were your biggest failures? Do
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you I remember your biggest failures in the industry? One
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: thing that you're mad. It looked like, oh, maybe I
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have did this record, or I shouldn't have did this.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: One of my biggest failures in the music industry. If
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: I want to say a record, a record, probably uh
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: the floor rid of record, and it wasn't mine. Let
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: me say it was. It was. It was Paul Wall's record.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: But Mike Caroon told me multiple times, Man, you should
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: keep this record. You should cake Paul won On want
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: it and you're killing it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: You should keep yes record too.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: No, it was never never Nelly record. So so, uh,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: Paul Wall didn't want it. I'm like, they got to
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: take the apple bottom jeans part off of New Orleans.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: We don't. I say, they got to take that part off.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: So let's see if t pag can take it off.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: T like, nah, I ain't changing it. It's staying like that.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: So then Mike brings up floor Rider. I got a
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: new cat floor Rider Da Da da. I'm like, well, shit,
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: let him have it. I can. If he's not gonna
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: change it, let him have it. But that was a fumble.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: They would have been the same record for you though.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean had the same hook on it. You
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: don't think the hook.
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: So I would say, not speak in my mind, you know,
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: you know, because it was a lot of shit. I
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: let just go, you know, because wanting to stay neutral,
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: not wanting to see the argument, and not wanting to
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: see the fight, like you know what I'm saying. And
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: I feel like, because if I would have spoke my mind,
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: I think shit would have turned out different. But I
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: also believe that there's something like God got a plan
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: for you. Sometimes you gotta walk that walk, like you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: and and everything happened for a reason. But but I
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: would say one of the biggest regrets was not you know,
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: speaking my mind a lot of times on how I
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: really felt about situations.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Would you say, used to argue in the studio, Yeah, we.
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: Did, But there was projects that I was like, we
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: shouldn't do this right now at the time, it shouldn't
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: have been like it, Like for instance, for a hundred degrees,
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: I wasn't ready to let that album go. I knew
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: there was other singles on it, you know what I'm saying.
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: And I and I and I agreed to like they
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: like we gotta work on Julie's new album. I'm like, no,
• 27:23
  Speaker 10: we don't we we we we we haven't scratched the
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: surface with this. We're not finished, you know what I'm saying.
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: Where I'm like, shit, I'm like, I know there's other
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: songs in here.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: You gotta think for degrees. Was never a single.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: Man oh man, put your sets up, run for it. Yeah, man,
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: we could have it was it was more that.
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: Was there was times where like just just a simple format,
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: you know where the concept of like the beginning of
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: this was like we we we wanted to do things
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: that were obtainable to the hood and people like So
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: that's why when we first started doing this, it was
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: PT Cruises and Chrysler three hundred, remember, because we knew
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: you could afford that ship, you know what I'm saying,
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: And everybody was purpose yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: But then Egos got it's Lamborghini time, It's D D
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: D D. And my concept was always it's more Honda
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: cards than Lamborghinis.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Stick with the Honda cards and we're gonna want you know.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, dude, you changing from you know what
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I'm saying.
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: But I was like, okay, I'm gonna go with the floor,
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: you know.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you to so yeah, all of audd moments.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: But now when you think about it, go back to
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: those videos. You remember seeing the PT cruises and the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: cars that they loved in the hood with rims and this,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: that and the other thing. But now it makes sense
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to why you did it that way.
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: Because because the concept that how I made songs, I
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: thought about the visuals and everything. You know what I'm saying,
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: like what the video was gonna be, how we was
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: gonna do it, and how we was gonna you know,
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: sell it, and with what women made things Completely different
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: from when I saw a shift in music was when
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: we did go DJ. You know, the concept that when
• 29:05
  Speaker 10: we was doing it, I said, we're gonna send all
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: the DJ's like a video camera and like if you
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: was a radio DJ, you can you know, tape your
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: show and send it back to us, and we're gonna
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: take all of that footage and we gonna, you know,
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: and then we're gonna make this like something big, like
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: with all the radio DJs. So when when when so
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: I got the hook on the song all of that,
• 29:25
  Speaker 10: and when Wayne did it, he didn't say shit about
• 29:27
  Speaker 10: DJs nothing at all, and I was just like, well,
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: what the fuck? The concept is not that, but it
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: was so jamming to I was like, Okay, I'm gonna
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: just leave a shit alone and see what happens.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: And I was like, Okay, nobody never.
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: Said he ain't say shit about DJs on the ship,
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: like you know what I'm saying.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: They didn't give a damn.
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: So I was just like this crazy. So something else
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: is going on in the water, like you know. So
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: that that kind of was. I was like, Okay, there's
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: a shift in music, something going on, like you know,
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: Cause I was like, this shit crazy because they rapping
• 29:57
  Speaker 10: this song word for word. It has nothing thing to
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: do the DJ with DJs.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: But yeah, what is it about New Orleans that still
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: inspires y'all so much?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Culture?
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Man, it's our food, our language, we second line, we
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: celebrate the dead, we live, we live to celebrate we
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: our I'm talking about. Man, you will never see nothing
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: like New Orleans. It's never It's the only real twenty
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: four hour city in America. Everybody say they got twenty
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: four hour cities. And the bars close at a certain
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: you can't walk out the ball with your drink. You know,
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: they don't sell alcohol at the gas stations. You don't
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: have drive through liquor stores. We got all that and
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: we sell alcohol twenty four seven. If it's open, we
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: selling it. If you had a bar, we don't have.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: Two o'clock, they say two o'clock last call for alcohol.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: The ball open, you're drinking this.
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: Imagine you got a crazy ass sibling or uncle or
• 30:56
  Speaker 10: ain t that don't give a shit about nothing that's
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: going on with you.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: That puts you in your place. So it's a whole
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: city that do that.
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: They don't give a fuck about you know what I'm saying,
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: your success.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: They're like, well, since your stupid ass down with all
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: of that, and it keeps you grounded. You know what
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I'm saying.
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: One of the sweet things about New Orleans. You you
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: will never be a star to New Orleans. And what
• 31:16
  Speaker 10: I mean is they gonna always treat you where. You know, like, look, look, bro,
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: you one of us. We respect what.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: You doing whatever.
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: But at the same time, Pope's chicken, that's what that's
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: what we doing today.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Ain't nothing special for your ass at the height.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: Even at the height, well, we we had, you know,
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: we had our moments. But what we people saw so
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: much in the city like New Orleans is small. Usually
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: when you bump into somebody, the chances of seeing them again,
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: like at one hundred percent you're gonna see him again.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: So down there family members that you probably never met
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: before in life, lives right on the other side of
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: the town, which is probably like twenty miles. Twenty miles.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, total him to run through that motherfucker. That's it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: We think we're a huge city out of that, you
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: know what I'm saying.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: So it's so small. So it's it's well grounded, and
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: the people just stick to what they know. They don't
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: like to change. It's like a bunch of old people
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: that don't want change.
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: One of those things we had, we had that you know,
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: we don't really ever get a chance to talk about.
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: But one of the things that we had, like a
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: lot of crews don't have, our parents was death every
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: every walk of the ship that was going on. You know,
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: our parents know each other, you know what I'm saying.
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: My mama knew his mom, like when you know they
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: they they hung out together. And you know if that
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: ship that was documented, you know, like Julie Daddy got
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: he took pictures of every ship that I'm like, I
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: didn't even know he was doing this shit, like you
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: know what I'm saying. So I think we had a
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: lot of ship that kept us grounded to where, you know,
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: like if you went crazy. You know, his mama could
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: tell me that because you respect her as an elder.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: She like you tripping. You got to start with that bullshit.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: You you know what I'm saying.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: Like you said, y'all celebrate the dead too, because I
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: always think about that when I see people nowadays who
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: I'm smoking on such and such pack or whatever whatever,
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: how y'all be feeling when y'all see that.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Well, that don't relate to me, cause I don't really
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: understand that. I'm gonna be honest with you when I
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: don't get that, so they gotta explain that part to
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: me because I don't really understand it. But in New Orleans,
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: instead of for us, instead of mourning and thinking about,
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: you know, you lost your person, you lost somebody that
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: you really love, we think about the great things we
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: did together and that what that person would have did
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: if they were still here, and we try to celebrate
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: those things. And that's why we call it, you know,
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: second line, because the first line is the band, and
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: the second line is the people, And it's all based
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: upon that. We celebrate the dead, and to be honest,
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: I enjoy it because who wants to be mourning and
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: up and sad? Like I get it when the person
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: first died, usually when the funeral occurs, that's like a
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: week later, a week or two late that he should
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: have been.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 34:01
  Speaker 10: The craziest thing I seen in the launch Frankie Beverly
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: when he passed New Orleans more than them. Oh my god,
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: it was insane, Like you know what I'm saying.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: They really get in a fight in New Orleans, a
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: serious fight. Tell somebody, Frankie Beverly ain't from there.
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: Tell amazed the whole We feel like we know, we
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: know they not tell him that he got kids.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Line, Man, I go get my grandfather right. All your
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: hand down, bro, I'm saying by that man from Philadelphia. Man,
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: don't give na bro nah brot. The funeral was here.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: He wasn't in the casket.
• 34:40
  Speaker 12: But they had an all white ally the city down, all.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: White parade, and he made a casket. Bro, he wasn't
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: in it.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: He wasn't in it.
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: Casket around like he was in the second line and
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: tossing it everything and I was mad.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: I was mad because I wasn't. The song I am
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: is called Julie Beverley, right, because everybody always like my
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: guy uh slab, always called me Frankie Beverly. For one reason,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: Mays is one of the only bands that he performed
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: all the way up until he couldn't no more. Right,
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: always stayed booked. And he said the same thing about it,
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: like you, if you stayed booked, You're like, God, damn
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: you stay booked. You like Frankie Beverley. So I always
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: looked at Maids as somebody that I wanted to be like.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: That's why I got a band, because I feel like
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: they had the best band, that live band on stage.
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: If you've never seen anybody perform, trust me, nobody's touching them.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: And we miss him. We miss him in New Orleans,
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: take it, take it to heart. Uh but wise the
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: superfessor in New Orleans super we ain't.
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: See Maids first. We grew up with Maids. Your mama
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: cleaned your house.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: At the single in New Orleans, he said, famous word.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: He said, why would you do a live album in
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: New Orleans said, I said, well why not? You did?
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: That's that's law. That is Martin Luther King sayings and
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: that's next.
