You're kicking this thing off, kicking off the right way,

(03:40):
you know what I'm saying. So the bar is high.
Oh yeah, whoever else comes and sits in that chair
right here, you know, get the bars hot elevated.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
But I want to go back to.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
The beginning because you know you you we we all
from a familiar place, sir, to where this thing started
for you, to where to where somebody said, boy, that
boy right there he got You said to yourself, I
got something.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
Got Some man started on the West side of Atlanta.
My mama, Missus Clergey, and my whole family from the
West side of Atlanta, you know what I'm saying. And
they made everybody in my family either had to be
in the church choir on an urschel board. You got
to go to church, and you gotta be you got
to be involved. You ain't got no choice, you know

(04:25):
what I'm saying. And what's so crazy it is the
church I went to Greater Springfield. It's in the bluff.
The actual pastor of that church is DC young Fly Daddy.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
So the pastor of my church, Solomon Whitfield Junior, is
DC young Fly Daddy.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Stop playing.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah, so that was the pastor of my church, and
so my whole family. You know what I'm saying. He
probably I remember him. He was a baby. Actually, his
mama and my mama went to high school together. You know,
his parents had him late in life, so he was Yeah,
so he was when I when I was teaching.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
He was a baby when I was a teenager. So
it started in church.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
So my whole family went to the church and it
was like y'all gonna sing be in a ursher board.
So it started there and then what ended up happening
was in school one day this the teacher made everybody
get up and sing, you know, the stop spang abound
or whatever. So this dude got up. I went to
Kye Heights Elementary School on the west side Lema, and
the teacher got made this boy get up and sing right,
and he couldn't sing, and everybody started laughing. I wasn't

(05:18):
even laughing. She looked straight at me and say, well,
since you think it's so funny, you get up and sing.
I don't really know I can sing. I just know
what I do at church. And so when I got
up and sang, she say, oh, you can sign for real.
She took me to the music teacher, offers Ms. Holloway.
And from that point on, I was either doing music
at church. This second grade scond, so either I was
doing music at church or I was doing it at school.

(05:41):
So by then, you know, you fully in mercy at
you at church and then you at school doing music.
And then I go home with my big brother and
them they doing music. So I was just encompassed by music.
What was your big brothers though, Man, my big brother
he had a group, but they was listening to rap.
You know, when you were older brothers there, you know
they put you on the stuff earlier than everybody else
in your age group because they you know, when you
got big the streets, so you know they was putting

(06:03):
me on I was. I was faster than most kids
my age because I was learning from my big brothers
and my cousins and them, and I was on the
music they was on, so they was exposing me and everything.
I never forget when I rapped, we was on Too
Short two Live crew. I wasn't supposed to listen to that,
but that's what they listened to.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Taking that back to the elementary, please believe it.

we on no Audition and then we're on Michael.

Speaker 6 (06:48):

resonated with you that at the time you didn't understand
was was actually giving birth to, you know, to what
you would ultimately do. Like I tell everybody all the time,
like I didn't get as much as I was in
church and from Reverend James Cleveland and all of these

(07:39):
things that we were singing and junior choir, all that stuff.
All that stuff was great and I had to do it,
you know, we had to do We had to do it.

me or stop me in my tracks. Until I'm walking

So we just was like, okay, well they just thug
it out. So we started doing the talent shows and
all that stuff too, and we didn't win, not one
talent show because one twelve won all of them and
that group name was Fort.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
They won every talent show.

They won everyone what twelve because same like that.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
When they was twelve and thirteen, man, it was off.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
It was the four guys.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
Was he quit As wasn't in the group yet. Quinn's
was actually in another group, but it was slim.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
It was the run. It was Mike and they had
a bass. You remember when Boys and Men came out,
every group had to have a base.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Everybody had to have a base. So they had to
do with a deep voice in the group. But they
were singing like that. I promised to God. When we
was thirteen to twelve, thirteen and fourteen, they were singing
like that. They was called Fort back then, and they
like from the South. They're actually from the same neighborhood
young thug from like like one twelve, from like Jonesbord
South and all of that. So they from over there,
so you know what I mean. So they but them

(14:29):
boys could sing. Man, they were every We could never
beat them, but everybody. But all of a sudden, everybody
out of them talent, out of them Talness Show. They
started getting signed and stuff. Because then everybody started coming down.
I'll never forget. When one twelve got they did, we
was like, oh my god. I seen Slim one time
in the hood at the store.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
He said, boy, we just shot a video. We in
New York with pop Daddy. He said what he said, boy,
we got a video. What do y'all see this?

Speaker 5 (14:55):

They got put on You know what I say, every
last one of them groups. Everybody knew each other or
one person in the group because everybody was getting sign Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
It was crazy. Yeah they got.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
When they came down here, they plugged the man. I
promised to God, you could go around back then and
you will see all of that. Like any rapper that
ever made it out of here. I knew him way
before they was. I knew him since we was like
in elementary school or high school or something.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Were you guys doing original music?

Speaker 5 (15:32):
See what happened was my brother and them seemed See
I had older brothers and cousins, so by the fault
there was management because they was old enough with the
cars and driving us around. So they used to take
us to the shows and stuff, so we used to
go try to. They used to pay for us to
win studio time. You know, they was in the streets
and doing all kinds of stuff. So they had the
little money, they'll go pay for studio time to sing
and stuff.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
And I remember we used to pay studio time. And
I remember we was like man. Our group.

Speaker 5 (15:55):
We was all kind of like arch kids because we
could play and sing and stuff. We were like man. Instead
of pant they giving us wax songs. We could sing
our own wax songs. That's our only thing. Like instead
of paying for these demo we could do our own
wax songs. If they're gonna be terrible, we might as
well sing our own terrible songs. So that's what made
us doing it, because we could already play and all
that kind of time.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
You hadn't written anything.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Now we haven't.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
We wasn't.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
We wasn't really writing.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
We only started writing songs for real, for real because
we wanted to have our songs for demo because we
was paying other people to do songs, and it was
like they were wax.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
So they're like, we're about twelve, because you know, the
first demo.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
We were doing covers you know how, you know how
you're going there and you make they'll redo tracks for
you for demo. So when we got you start getting
more mature, and we're like, well man, we kind of
want to do our own songs. We started trying to
get people do their songs. We were like, well man,
we run now we could play pianos and sing and
all of that. We could do that if if they terrible.

(16:49):
Now my group was pure Bliss. We got that from
a cool J song. We did what we did with
our boys and men swimming in the on the exits
a pure Bliss. We said, that's our name, like, yeah,
pure Bliss. We got it from the hay Lovel song
Pure Bliss.

Speaker 6 (17:09):

first thing. He ran up on me the first thing.
He said, yeah, you can sign, shouted I can sign,

R Kelly.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
I'm like, I don't know who this.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
Little This little boy's star, she said.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
She said he was like him.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
I said, oh, ever since then, me and him we've
been tight. So then we start actually writing the demos
for the young group. We put him with the two
little boys we found at the church, and then she
ain't up. They got a deal quicker than us. So,
but at that point she had us writing their demos.
This one I found out song writing was a real
job because she like, listen, Josper No, Lord likes you.

(21:59):
So you want to sit here with him and you're
gonna write his verses and you're gonna make teach him
how to sing the songs or whatever.

Speaker 6 (22:05):
I'm like, Okay, this is gonna get us a record
deal too, Okay, Cuz at this point record.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Told me, man, I want to be on B E
T Black Star Power all I care about. Man, we
got a video. Yeah, and she's like, yeah, y'all gonna
get it for yo, they gonna get I'm like cool,
So she put load on me. But so we end
up doing this demo. By the time, we working so
close together. He become my little brother. So he he
youngest point, he ten. So since that point we always
been together. So his group good a deal. We good

(22:35):
a deal. We never got no video, never got your video.
He got his video though.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
He got a group.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
They got a lot off.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
He got a few of them.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
So and and you know, through that whole process, and
that's how I mean him ended.

Speaker 6 (22:47):
Up being so tight.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
So when he came out as an artist, Yeah, in
the beginning, he came out with a group.

Speaker 5 (22:52):
He was with a group called in Tune.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
I remember that.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
Yeah, that was Lloyd's least sing of that group. Yeah,
I think I think I knew. They and Tricky them
did their first song and Candy wrote it. They was
They did the song called Ready. And what was so
crazy was in the midst of us doing the demo,
she called us again, she can't look I got another
little guy. I don't know if I want him to
be in the group, I want him solo. I'm goin
to bring him down. She went and got this other

(23:17):
little guy and brought him down and she was like, nah,
he's gonna be solo because I can get two separate deals.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
That Look, I was seven.

Speaker 5 (23:37):
She was moving should down. So now she was fond.
And then she had signed Dallas at this point, so
you have by not that. But they had no they
had no issues or whatever. But they worked it out.
But one under the one condition was and when she
found her acts in her groups, Dallas were gonna do
songs on them. You got to realize at this point,

(23:57):
Dallas the biggest producer in the world. He doing TLC, ABC,
he doing Boys and Me and this back when you
were telling Diamond Records, and he right now producing the songs.

Speaker 6 (24:06):
He got a real studio, this one.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
Having a real studio meant something for real for even
though it's still mean something, it's just different back then. Yeah,
And so she brought us all over to Dallas. He
started working on Lloyd album and he say, but I'm
gonna sign Sammy solo. But Lloyd already had his deal.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Lloyd had a solo deal no, Lloyd had an album
with this group.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
With the group, Okay, so Dallas working on a group album,
and he like, but I'm gonna sign Sammy solo because
that way she didn't have to put Sammy in the
group with Lord. She'll let Lloyd keep being in the
lead singer. She's like, I'm gonna get a whole another
budget with Sammy through this process. And through all this process,
that's when I meet Dallas through and Lloyd. I used
to write our Lord songs. So layd to tell Dallas, man,
my friend ain't gonna come and write my songs with me.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, and that was me hmm.

Speaker 5 (24:48):
So he Lloyd keep bringing me to the studio, Dallas,
my friend gonna come write my songs with me, And
so I ended up getting signed the Dallas at that
point Dark but she put all us together.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Ah Man, shout out to Joe, Shout out Joyce.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
She worked on Shout Out Leonad too, because Leonald he
put us up, Leonard Watkins and George Urban and they
put it was like crazy and then and what was
so crazy what ended up happening was Sammy, even though
we stopped working on him way later, you know, because
it was like a year and a half of us
working on Lloyd demos with his group and when her
finding Samuel was thinking about put him in the group,
Dallas had just got his new label deal, so he like,

(25:23):
I'm gonna put Sammy out fast. So he did one.
So the first song he put on he did on
Samon was I like it. That's the very first song
they ever recorded, and that and he's this when I
know when you when you're on the road, This is
when I know you could call your shots. He told her,
he said, I'm gonna write SEMMI single the night that
man went in that room and wrote it, and he said,
I'm gonna have this aut in three months.

Speaker 6 (25:44):
And the thing was out him three months and that
thing was on Fas said me, this, I go.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Everywhere, you know, so like so at that.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Point, you know, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm around everything.
I'm it, you know what i mean. The Dallas he
rocked with me, he took me, he signed me. You
know what I'm saying. He let me be around the
studio every day. All they taught me how to make
it be right, the production are right, you know, because
you don't really know what you're doing until you see
people who actually really do on that on the level. Yeah,
because you know, we just sit by, We just sit

(26:16):
by records by make the voice.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
It sounded like that.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
Yeah, it sound like a million people singing. We ain't
know about no stacks, but how they get their drums
like that. We didn't know.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
You had to go sithing, you know, the things you
do to get the production right.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
So he let me be around him when he was
the top producer and get all that game with precious game, Dallas,
real man, and so that knowledge that from that point
it was all in the game.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
One of the goats, one of the yeah, for sure,
for real, for real early though too early, early, early, early.

Speaker 6 (26:50):
When people didn't even really know what that means.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
We didn't even know. We didn't didn't know. Yeah, yeah,
we didn't know those levels.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
You didn't even know.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
You know, it was mystical to us.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Yeah, you didn't know.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
He was like a deity. He's like, that's I guess
that's what Jesus. I was just always here dark exactly.
It was a special place exactly. I'd never been there before,
but I would hear it. I'm on the whole other
side of the country.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
God went on Instagram back then.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, that was back then. We needed to learn differently.
We need to be able to we need to be
able to recover.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
I see it all quick things some time about on
the highest level. I said, okay, yeah, see what's.

Speaker 8 (27:34):
Going on, because it's something different to see it, but
then to actually be able to touch it, that's different.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (27:42):
Yeah, like like right now they're getting to see things
around the world, not touching.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
They not touching, you know what I'm saying. So Sammy
is your first release.

Speaker 5 (27:52):
Well, see, Sammy actually was the first release because he
because he put it out quick.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
So you start writing on the early stuff too, Yes,
because I.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Was doing Yeah, I was doing Sammy and Lord because
we was all in the same Lady George Erby, So
I was That's how I learned really how to write
for other people because I really worked on them. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. So I practiced a whole
long time on Lord, but when I got with Semi,
I had pretty much polished it up and that was
ready to put the album out fast.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
And Sammy's what ten eleven.

Speaker 6 (28:22):
Twelve right there too? Eleven or twelve?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
So If you go look at Sammy first videos, you
see Lord and all them in there, because we all
was part of the same crew. We was all signed
to the same lady, you know what I mean, managing
us all and putting us out with Dallas and all
of that.

Speaker 6 (28:35):
And so when Sammy blew up, then that we're working.

Speaker 1 (28:39):

you got to be signed to me on my ass gut.

Speaker 1 (33:56):

If you just even attached to anything that looks a
certain kind of way, people are gonna call you, you
know what I mean, Like they're just gonna call you
because they got dy version or whatever that is and
they want something like that or whatever. So the phone calls,
come man, can you come work with this and work
with that?

Speaker 3 (34:44):
So yeah, it definitely helped, But you've become part of
the conversation where it's like, Okay, this guy can deliver
it here.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
Yeah, yeah, he he ain't gonna make a look bad.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
And they're always going to give you a shot.

Y'all bounce it down the two track or did y'all
do it in pro tools?

Speaker 1 (39:28):
I sang this on this might have been the first
song I sing in pro tools. That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
Slowly might be the first song I sing in pro
toos wy wow wow, because everything else before that was
to no separate tracks on Slowly, that's what that's your amazing.

Speaker 6 (39:45):
That mix had to be on that CD for you
to be able to use it like that.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
He wasn't gonna be able to do that again, ever,
I said, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
I don't care. I don't care if it's peaking, I
don't care. What the imperfection you ain't gonna be able
to do.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
We rolled around l A and he it's bends with
them Law and hert rims for a week listening to
that track, eating that PF chain, chain man, having Apple Martine.
That's borrowing money from FLINTI giving us big paper in

(40:23):
the city. Yeah, Yeah, New Times. Crazy that that that
moment right there, like that was that was so and
that was so needed for me to But you weren't
a part.

Speaker 5 (40:34):
Of I went a part of New Time. So what
happened was it just so happened that the first time
I used to see them around the city all time.
What up, Nooney? You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 (40:42):
What up? Chris?

Speaker 5 (40:43):
You know, I just see them around the city all
the time. But they had started popping off with their producers,
so I used to go with there. I was trying
to write, So they'll have they'll try to link their
producers up, they'll bring that tapes beats on there and so.
But when I first then when I started doing the beats,
that's when Ryan came start buying them from me too,
you know what I mean. So we used to always
go around each other and be around each other all

(41:05):
the time.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
What was you making your b tongue?

Speaker 5 (41:07):
Yeah? You see two thousand excels? Yeah, yeah, a good
old try.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
You started a two thousand excels Yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 5 (41:13):
Triting to try and I had to try, And then
I had the mom what that module was that had
our planet fast.

Speaker 6 (41:20):
Planet fat what's that other one that eighty I had?

Speaker 8 (41:24):
You know, like yeah, it was really like the starter
studio producer packed up everybody when you were like, yo,
I want to start by Okay you need ten yep,
yeah yeah no.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
PC, it's a pack, it's a planet.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yeah yeah, it's a thing we started off. Yeah yeah, yeah,
that was the kick. What what made you feel like
you could produce like that? That's that's what I want
to ask you, because you had your writing on. What
made you think, you know what, I can figure this
production out there? Somebody giving you the information like how
you said Dallas kind of brought you in and just

(42:00):
showed you the ropes?

Speaker 1 (42:01):
Was it from him or who was that from?

Speaker 5 (42:03):
Definitely him? Because for real the first time. So when
I first met doubt it is the first thing I
did was play songs on piano and sang the songs
to him.

Speaker 6 (42:09):
That's why he wanted to sign.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
Me, like, oh you're one hundred percent so here like
oh you don't really need nobody, But I wasn't all
the way good on the beat.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Shit.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
What happened was he let me sit around him, and
he let me sit around the studio. Then I really
learned by watching everybody how they did the beats. Then
I had a room in at the time who he
had got an MPC two thousand, Jeff, and he was
an intern at the studio, so he was my roommate.
So I practiced at home with him and then but
I knew I could produce because for real, what the producer.
The reason I started getting placement was because the producers

(42:39):
could give me the track and I produced everybody vocals
and I could make people sound good. And that learned
early on. If you can get artists to sound good,
they always want to work with you. Yeah, And it
was harder to do back then. You know, you had
to really vocal produce back then. Yeah, so every artist
used to. So the producers started being like, that's what
gonna write my songs because they ain't got to sit
there with me and produce it. I'm a vocal producer.
I'm gonna do it all. And so then after that

(43:01):
it's like, man, I can already play, I can already
vocal produce all.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
I gott dudes learn how to work this NPC the
right way, and that's it.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
And so that's what I did. I practiced on the
MPC for a little while, and then I'm like, okay,
my ears put it all together, start fine tuning it,
and then I start making beats, and man, they like
they're gonna bite it your beats. Okay, well it must
be good enough.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Yeah, okay, Cool. Did the beat that you sold did
it ever come out?

Speaker 5 (43:27):
Ever came out?

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Just got your check? I just got my check your
front end fron got Yeah, you have the four teen.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
Yeah, he gave me to full ten.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Yep, that was back then.

Speaker 5 (43:38):
He gave me the full thing. It wasn't even on
front and back because he needed his five. Yeah, because
he needed five.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Pushed that through.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
Push it on cool. So it never even came out
on that artist. It never even came out. And then
after that it just started flowing.

Speaker 8 (43:54):
So you got derdy going, Yeah, when does like the
full run kick in? Where is it is it Lloyd

Speaker 1 (44:05):

off kill too for the ones that really influenced me.
Besides yeah, besides Michael and Prince because they touch everybody soul.

(51:09):
That Bobby Brown, the truth, the blueprint, Yes, sir, the blueprint.
People don't know a lot of the post. Barbara Brown
was way different than beginning than before. Bobby He changed
the game. You got to give Bobby them two dances.

Behind you dancing, nasty dancing and singing. That's the hunting
and all of that Bobby.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
So when you see us, when you see Chris and
you see all of them, Bobby with the blueprint for
that Bobby because you know, you know, Mike was a
different thing. He was out of this world. Bobby brought
you to the hood. So you see r Kelly, he
got some of that Bobby in it. You know what
I'm saying. When you see all of them, you know

them slow songs, the first one to do that thing,
Keith Sweat, that make the laugh for ever able that

Even sometimes I don't think people get Key Sweat was
the right way. Get Key Sweat, Star money. They don't know,

you can't take away them songs. Man, you can't take
away the performances. You can't take away the flavor he
brought to the world. You can't take it.

Speaker 6 (53:12):
On the teleent side, you can't take that away. You
gotta get it to it.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
You can't take away the the the amount of inspiration,
come on, man, the amount of gifts that were birthed.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Yeah, as a result of.

Speaker 5 (53:24):
What he was doing, our killing man wouldn't be we
wouldn't room, we wouldn't be like we are because well,
you know, we come from the generation of talking different
with our R and b PN, but we kind of,
you know, we come from after that. We could we're
gonna talk like that.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
We could talk about we talk.

Speaker 5 (53:41):

I'm gonna tell you why. Charlie Willison, m Charlie Willison,
Uncle Charlie. Let me tell y'all something. This whole generation
of us that do all them runs and all that
stuff we bit off. Charlie Wilson, Aaron Hall wanted to

(54:24):
be Charlie Wilson. Arkella wanted to be Aaron Hall. Keller
wanted to be Aaron Aaron Hall wanted to be Charlie
Wilson the way Charlie will was.

Speaker 6 (54:33):
And then this, this is why I got to come up,
because guess what Charlie Wilson wanted to say, like.

Speaker 5 (54:37):
Steven Wonder the game, so the way we sing all
these runs and I knew and not Aaron all of
that Charlie Wilson really, but he was getting from Steven Wonder,
So that's why I said, but I don't think they,

from Oh My Word to this day boy. Yeah, yeah,

(55:01):
all I wanted to hit them runs like that.

at all for most of us. That is. That's different way,
different love. Yeah. Yeah, I like where you're going your
top five R and B songs.

Speaker 5 (55:18):
Yeah, that's like pulling my heart out. I'm gonna tell
you my first one. If I'm going by pure Field,
I gotta give a Lately by Steven Wan of that
that was remade by huh Josi't gonna tell you why
if you listen to the words and Lately, the only
person that could have wrote that was Steven Wander or
another blind man because the lyrics he's saying far more frequently,

(55:41):
you're wearing perfume to say, no special place to go.
The only way he knows she going out and all
that because he's smell of perfume. He can't see what
she's going. He don't know. She got on. He got
to do.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
That's the only way she's going.

Speaker 5 (55:54):
Man.

Speaker 6 (55:56):
Come on, I can smell the perfume, man, ain't nobody
can he on.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
He's not about what she's wearing. See that.

Speaker 6 (56:05):
I can smell your perfume. More frequently you're wearing her perfume.
This is really my my favorite Michael Jackson song.

Speaker 5 (56:13):
Is this right here? For real? Lady in my life?
And then like I said, as we lay, I got
to say, as we that's the first that's the first
record I asked my mama to buy me with that
feel on it like that, So as we lay and
Man for real, cry for you Jo Tosy, you better
do it man. When I heard that, When I heard

(56:35):
that cry for you, man.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
I said, whoa life changing? Yes, what's going on?

Speaker 5 (56:44):
Man?

Speaker 6 (56:44):
Like I'm a crop of you. They're saying the softest
thing in the world, but in the hardest way.

Speaker 5 (56:51):
Come on, and I gotta do this song right here, man,
even though it was another song on the on the album,
but this whole album, Man, change my life to that
any heartbreak?

Speaker 6 (57:01):
Can you stand? Can you stand the rain?

Speaker 5 (57:04):
And can you stand the rain?

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Man?

Speaker 8 (57:05):
That song?

Speaker 5 (57:06):
And they coming home I can put them between one combo.
Can you stand the ring that coming Home?

Speaker 3 (57:12):
I don't care if you put the whole album and
the whole album man Heartbreakers.

Speaker 6 (57:15):
Man that Jam and Lewis. Man, come on, man, who
do it better than them?

Speaker 3 (57:18):
Man?

Speaker 5 (57:19):
Man? They changed the game?

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Man? Your R and B volt Trump?

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Okay, Yeah, perfect R and B singer, your arm your
your perfect, your super hero.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
I want to know who you're gonna get the vocal from? Okay?

Speaker 3 (57:33):
The performance style, yeah, the styling of the artists, yeah,
in the heart of the artists, the passion of the artists.
And then, because you are a writer producer often at
this part right here, who's going to produce and write
the songs?

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (57:52):
You didn't know that was co Yeah, get tricky right there.
All right, So let's start with the vocal for your
vult trump. Who you get the vocal from?

Speaker 5 (58:01):
The vocal for my R and B volt trying. I'm
gonna say Whitney and I'm gonna say Michael, because they
got the perfect vocal. They can sing soul and they
could sing pop. They can they could they can sing anything, yeah,
and make it their own. And they can take a
song no matter what genre it is, and you're gonna
you're gonna they generalists, you know what I mean. So

(58:21):
that's why I like their vocal tones. That's why like
Whitney Vocaltone. That's why like Michael Vocaltone, because well it's
like the same thing. I like the same thing about
both of them. I like that by Beyonce too, But
I'm just gonna say, you know what I'm saying, Beyonce
got that too.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Performance style.

Speaker 5 (58:39):
Man, I'm gonna tell you that. I got to give
it to Bobby Brown again. But I'm gonna tell you
why he changed my life. How nasty he was on stage.
That man used to dance so hard, man and go
so hard on stage, get kicked out the stage and
all that. I'm gonna say Bobby, But really, Bobby kind
of was a He was kind of a James Brown too,
because James I was funking nasty like that too, So

(59:00):
they kind of had that same kind of thing.

Speaker 8 (59:01):
I always say something about that Brown name, Yeah, James Brown,
Bobby Brown Brown, and.

Speaker 6 (59:06):
I would put Chris to but I know Chris, he
had the river of Bobby. So like I think they
got Chriss.

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Bobby, And yeah, you know what I'm saying, so he
Michael Brown, what career?

Speaker 6 (59:17):
You know what I'm saying. So I'm gonna say that too.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
Styling of the artist, the drip, the drip. Who is
gonna drip? Like?

Speaker 5 (59:25):
Man, I'm gonna tell you who had the ultimate drip.
And I got to give it to this man because
for real, he would wear things that only he could
pull off. And you can say nothing about it. Prince,
the thing you could that man and for real, man
like he won't. He he will what he wanted to
well when he wanted to wear. And you if you uncomfortable,
then that you're on you.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
He added the motorcycle to it. Yeah, he motorcycle is
really important.

Speaker 5 (59:51):
Yeah he had.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
Yeah, he brought all the purple. It was important.

Speaker 8 (59:56):
But you know what, and the guitar and guitar because
because Richard was on the piano, but standing with the guitars.

Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
But I'm gonna tell you somebody was a little bit
before Prince. They kind of set it up for him.
Rick James.

Speaker 6 (01:00:09):
Yeah, Rick James, you know what I mean, Like, you know,
you know Prince got a little game from Rick.

Speaker 5 (01:00:14):
Yeah. It helps me with the lift tars, with the
faith frame, with the glitter and with that good tar. Yeah,
Rick Rick, call forget about.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Rick Gamey, Rick James.

Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
The passion of the artist, the heart of the artists.

Speaker 5 (01:00:42):
The passion, Oh my god, man, the passion man, you
know who I got to give it to because in
this day and time, I know how hard it is
to keep going no matter what you go through. The passion.
I got to go to Chris Brown, listen to him.

Speaker 6 (01:01:01):
Man, Ain't nobody, Man, Le'm gonna tell you something.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Nobody's gonna argue that.

Speaker 5 (01:01:06):
Really, when that boy came back from you know, we
all you're gonna go through our things. We're gonna go
through issues. You know, we're gonna you know, we're gonna
make mistakes. But for him to fight back from where
he had a fail from and how they tried to
and he had to go back to doing those mixed
tapes and he had to grind his way back up
and figure it all out to get back. You know,
I think it made him a better artist. And I'm

(01:01:27):
gonna be honest with you, I kind of believe he's
still here right now because he learned from that how
to be tough, how do certain things? Certain things?

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Man?

Speaker 5 (01:01:36):
You seeing the dog you never gonna see in the light.
So when you kind of he's battle tested. So he
had the things he had to figure out how to
keep hisself going. Really it talking about to survive without
a label. No matter hey man, no matter who around,
no matter what you man, you.

Speaker 8 (01:01:54):
Love me, you will pull up at the record plan.
And you just saw him recreating himself.

You got everything that he needs in that studio.

Speaker 8 (01:02:11):
And he would play them songs and I'd be like,
I would just go by every other night and just
it was a new batch of eighty songs. It takes
a passion, takes that when everybody is telling you it's over,
it's over.

game with man, when people stop answering the calls, when
