Yeah, so the song right and the your your project,
it's uh, it's it's in combination with the docu series
on Stars, right, and we're celebrating the strip club, but
not just a regular strip club. Magic City is like
Disneyland for adults.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's interesting because it's not just like for us in Atlanta.
It's more or less like the Regal Beagle, like like
on Three's Company, or like like like Chers. It's like Cheers. Yes,
it's a place where we go.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
It's also a testing ground too, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I mean it's a chest and ground. It's a place
where you go meet people, talk to people, have conversations,
you know, cut deals, everything, everything happens in Magic City. Yeah,
oh yeah, some.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Major deals can be brought to Magic City and hashed out.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah yeah, I mean like even when when wife and
Lucy got out of jail, I met him. As far
as our conversation, we had a conversation in magic and
we talked about him getting on this on me working
on his He's talking about me working on his project.
And that's where our conversation started. Inside the club, you
know what I mean. And it's just just just that's
(03:36):
that's the magic of Magic City, right.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Has that magic ever gotten you into trouble?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
No, No, you can't. Don't.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I don't think negative in that.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You can't really get in trouble with magic. You know
what I mean. You can, I mean if you bring
your own trouble, but it's not there's no trouble in there.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yeah yeah yeah. Magic City money. How much is that?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
How much of magic?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
How much is Magic City Monday? If you had to
put a dollar amount on it?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh man, I was just in the last Monday. My
man spent sixty thousand, So I don't let's see.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I beg your pardon.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Sixty sixty thousand that I mean Magic City Monday probably
they probably make one fifty probably somewhere around now. Maybe
not every night, but every other night. Magic City Monday
is about probably at least one hundred, one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So these women are entrepreneurs. These are self starters, business
small business owners.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Every day, No you need to work, this is who
you are.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah, these are entrepreneurs, small business owners, small business. But
that's that's the vibe right in this docum series documents
so much that goes on, right.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, doc the document I mean that's that documentaries are.
They show you, They show you the back side of
what is happening in the strip club and not and
I think a lot of times people think it's more
like a dark side, but it's really just like the
actual business of the strip club. You know, because the
women they have to go get permits downtown, they got
to bring they permits to Magic Show. Magic Magic then
(05:19):
has to show the city that these women that are
dancing in his club are permitted. Right, it's a real business.
It's not you just show up and you just go
and you get on the stage and just because you're pretty,
you can work here. It's a whole Yeah, you know,
it's a lot of business behind it that I wasn't
even like privy to just being a customer. You just
pay attention to what's happening on the front side of
(05:41):
the club. But it's so much going on downstairs in
the locker room and the business behind running the club,
Like that's.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Right now, there's so much more to it that you know,
regular person doesn't see.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah, we see the couches and you know, the minimal
lighting and the beautiful women, money.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And the food. Yeah, food, Supposedly. I'm vegan, so I
don't know. I don't know that the eve been vegan
all your life. I've been vegan for the last twenty
five years you had. I wasn't really a big wing
guy that used to serve like champagne shrimp, and ain't
I think they still do. They got shrimp, lobster. You
can get all this type of stuff in Magic.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
So you're vegan, right, I know, But there's still no
vegan option in strip clubs. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
They recently put an impossible burger in there for me,
that's right. Wow, Yeah, they recently put.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Like to partake, right, But yeah, they you know, We
hear that in countless interviews. As far as the food
and strip clubs, especially in Miami Atlanta, that's where like
the food is that in Vegas too?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah, Yeah, there's steaks and there's you know, there's rime,
rib and lobster.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah and all that. I mean, you know, people go
to eat. That's another thing that what I'm saying. People
just sometimes just go to Magic just to get food. Yeah, no, no,
not even paying attention to the entertainment side of it.
Just straight food.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I've done that, right, at least that's what we go
for the happy hour. There's a great keych there.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It's not the Cache bro.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I hosted a strip club in Vega.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know, I used to work in Vegas, man, I
did radio out there as well, and uh my call
time was four am you know Vegas, right, And the
event was called Eggs and Legs, and it was a
breakfast buffet strip club.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
We used to have that. We what they you know,
they would start serving omelets at like probably like four
thirty five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
That's right. Yeah, you're in line with the dancers, so
like you're behind the dancer and you guys are each
getting your stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's a sight.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know, your.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Longtime collaborator, Michael right, Michael Cox right, Michael Brian Cox.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
He wants to get married now, Oh yeah, that's what
he posted. He's ready to marry.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Oh I ain't see that.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Talk to your boy, dog, talk to your man.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What are you doing. I'm not even gonna get involved
with him. Do what you want to do, man, ready
to get mad. I'm gonna let him do what you
gotta do. Man, have you ever been there? No, that
was the quickest, not in history.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
That was faster than my mom. No, you didn't even
manage the question.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
You've never you've never wanted to be there?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Nah, I mean I don't say that I never wanted
to be there. But I'm just you know, I have
I'm a person that studies and and and have o GZ.
You know, I have people that are you know that
have told me, you know, j D, don't do it,
you know, Quincy, Quincy Jones, rest in peace. He told
me JD not to do it. Don't do it.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
He also told you to go Vegan.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
He introduced me to Les Ray.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Charles was dying and you were in the room. I was.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I was at his house. I was actually at his
house to have lunch, and just the way that his
house was preparing the food and we was having burgers actually,
but I think it was turkey burgers at the time
what we was having at his house, and just the
way that they were preparing the food, and we was
talking about health some just talking about health, and it
just was like that's when it clicked in my mind,
(09:12):
like I got to get myself together.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
He was like, Ray, Charles is dying.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Take care of yourself.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
WHOA, that's a I mean, yeah, man, that's a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Because he was taking care of Ray. He basically was
paying all the bills for like all the doctors and
he was getting like the best doctors in the world
to come take care of Ray and all of that.
So it's like he was it was really real that
that real information about it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Yeah, you know what I really appreciate about you. It's
like a comic, right.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I love comedians and I love producers, music writers, composers, DJs.
Everything you've been through in life you have turned into
a song pretty much somewhat. Yeah, anything deep, anything relationship wise,
anything that's that's on its way to hurt you, I
guess you turned into lyrics and music.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, I mean, because if it's if it's on your
mind longer than thirty forty minutes, So like if you talk,
if you're thinking about the same thing for like a
week or two weeks, I mean, you know, that means
that it's pretty heavy, right, and it's pretty heavy on
your heart. If it's pretty heavy like that, then you
got to think that it's probably You're not the only
person that's probably gone through this. And that's what I
(10:18):
learned with music is that a lot of times you
write songs, you I'm trying to write a song that
hits all of you in this room, at least at
least a big majority of you, Right, So if I
hit this whole side with a song, then it's pretty
much a hit at that point.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Nah.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
But like Usher's confessions were D's confessions yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah right, and a lot of other people's confessions, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's what I'm saying. It became not just my confessors.
It was a bunch of people's confessions outside and all
of that that was all you Yeah, yeah, crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I don't mean to get into your business, but this
is the music.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
It is.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I mean, well, it was. It was you know, it
was it was written in a way where it wasn't
one hundred percent my story, but it was all it
in and out of my weaved in and out of
my storyosition.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
But it was something that a lot of people could relate.
I couldn't relate to it, but a lot of people
could relate.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, I mean, that's that's why. I mean when we
had the first part of the song it was caught
all Bad and then Confession Part one, Yeah, part one basically,
and that song basically was saying, chick on the side
with the crib in the ride, I got so many
I've been telling so many lives. Ain't nothing good, It's
all bad. I just want to confess. And that's how
(11:35):
we got into Confessions because it was like they started
asking me the question, like, so, what happens after this story?
What happened to the girl on the side? What happened
to the chick on the side? And I'm like, hmmm,
y'all really asking me this question. I know the answer
to this. I really know the answer to this. So
it was like they started asking I'm just like, okay,
(11:56):
I I if y'all want to go here.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
With let's go. Yeah, for sure, what up, Jackie.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
You know, it's also a form of like I guess,
in a way for a lot of you know, writers
and producers. It's a form of therapy too, like that
way you just don't maybe have to go to actual therapy.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It's that, Yeah, you gotta get it out. I mean
you talk to yourself, write it, and then talk to
the world. Yeah, talk to the world and let let
the world talk back to you. And I think that's
the best therapy I've ever.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Had and maybe the cheapest money I figured it out.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Now, Jad, since we're on the topic of confessions, like,
if you're to choose between one or the other, would
you choose to listen to Confessions Part one forever or
Confessions Part two forever?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Probably one because one is more for me. It's more,
it's more visual one, you know what I mean. That's
that that is the you know, that's where I say
every time I was in l A, I was with
my ex girlfriend. Every time you call me, I tell you, baby,
I'm working. No, I'm out doing my work. I wouldn't
think about you getting hurt. I'm hand in hand in
(13:06):
the Beverly Center, like man, not giving a damn. All
of these lines are like you could start visualizing what
I'm saying. You know what I'm saying, you can start
thinking about. You can almost close your eyes and listen
to that verse and see, especially if you're from LA,
you can see everything that I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Bro Like like late nineties, you and Biggie at the
Beverly Center. I mean y'all were like staples at the

so you know what I mean. So I'm getting his
lawnmower and making him work for me. That didn't actually
(15:07):
turn out too well after a while because he started
figuring it out, Like, you don't even got a lawnmower,
you're telling me what to do? Ship, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so you figured it out. Yeah, the way I figured
out that wasn't it. I gotta had to get up
out of them. But I mean it was. It was
definitely seem like you know, if you cut people's yards

In front of the airport Atlanta Airport, there was a
billboard that said.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Man.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I remember you and Puff as well. Like it was
always like, well I could dance better than you, I
got more hits than you, Like there was always that thing.
But people are always trying to compare themselves to you
because you were the guy with the hits and making
them dance and dropping songs every summer you ran summers.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I guess I guess it's we're trying to do now.
We're trying to do that now, you know what I mean,
get back into that. I saw somebody posted something about
that like the summer this is the worst summer we've
had in hip hop history heard and I was just like, oh, nah,
you gotta we gotta you know, we gotta push the gas. Nah.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Yeah. I saw someone say like, Yo, there's no hit
for this summer, no hip hop hit for the summer.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, which is crazy.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's very crazy, especially where we come from. It's night.
I don't even know a summer to even think about
not having a song or a bunch of songs, you
know what I mean, Not in my songs. I'm talking
about other people songs.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Yeah, but no, this is why, like these the two
thousand artists, their tours were selling out.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Yeah, because people want that. We've seen it, like, people
want to party again.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
People want to feel good and sing every single word
and understand every single word.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
That so real.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
They want to they want to feel it and understand
it and understand to it.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
And that's also why there's like so many, like you said,
two thousands parties. There's R and B parties, there's my
Space party. Bro, I do a MySpace party.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
You got to pull up j Bro.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Ninety percent of the ship I play is your ship,
and it goes up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
In the clubs too.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
In Vegas, you hear a lot of Jermaine Duprie, a
lot of clubs out there because that's what brings people back.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
It's designed for that.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Understand. You know what's crazy to JD, is you know
you never really sampled either?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, I mean I sampled a lot of you did
you have?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
But a lot of hits that we know all original?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
A lot of people don't even understand that. Yeah, yeah,
I mean because I'm not. I mean, you know, I'm
very much inspired by a lot of old music, which
inspires me to make music, you know what I mean.
And that's what music is supposed to do, is supposed
to make you make music. I'm always like, how do
they get that sound? How do they get this sound?
How they get this sound? And then I'm like, if
(21:07):
I find somebody who understands how to give me that sound,
then I'm like, let's make some music, you know what
I mean. Let's make something that sounds like what has
inspired me, but let's make it our own. So yeah,
if you if you can find somebody that can make
it and give you the same dirt that you're looking
for when you listen to these other records, it's very
(21:27):
probably more you know, it's it's definitely more profitable if
you make it yourself, you all proceeds. Yeah, yeah, JD.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
What are your thoughts about like AI creeping into the
music production and just like music world in general.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Something.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, I don't really understand why it's being I mean
what I do, let me say, let me stop. It
is being pushed because the companies that are the companies
that are gonna make money off of us allowing AI
to come to life, they're the ones that's pushing it.
It's not somebody like you that's telling me JD you
should check out AI. It's never the it's never the
(22:09):
people that's on the ground that's doing this stuff. It's
the companies that own the AI companies that are pushing
this and making trying to make people believe that this
is a new wave, right. And I say this every day,
like even like iPhones, how many people in this room
have a new iPhone?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Me, if you consider fourteen, you got fourteen?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah you late, you got an old phone. That's what
I'm saying. If you go through a room, the majority
of people don't even have the most up to date iPhone.
A lot of people androids, right, well androids, even androids,
they don't have the most up to date Android. That's
my point is like, why are we talking about AI
when people still don't have up to date phones? It
a little too cool? For school. You know, it's like,
(22:50):
are we really gonna are we really ready for these
this AI situation when people, the human the human person
has not really gotten completely caught up to technology period. Right.
Everybody in their house is not. They don't have super
smart TV. People still have old flat screens.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
I have the latest typhone. I use maybe three apps.
I have the latest yphone, and I may use maybe
three apps. Three apps, No way, pretty much, I'm not
really like yeah, yeah, I really I don't. It's not
that I don't support it.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I understand it, right, but I also understand that it's
a business that's being shoved down our throats as opposed
to it being something that we have to really deal with.
It's not something that's here that's like, oh, we gotta
deal with this, right. It's just like the way More.
It's like I did a video I jumped in a
way More and all the black people in the comments, like,
(23:50):
you know, black people ain't supposed to do that, like
riding in the car where ain't nobody driving, Like you know,
that's not like that's not the thing you're supposed to
be doing, right, And even like the comments, I'm just like, okay,
so Yeah, black people not ready for this, you know
what I mean, Like, it's just what it is. It's
just what it is, you know. So black people are
not ready for Waymos already. They not ready to be
(24:10):
driving in the car where nobody's in the Mexican's real ship.
Like we're like, yo, no one's driving, Let's get the
fun out of it. I'm trying to tell you. That's
what I'm saying. It's like nobody, It's just it's just
technology is being pushed by the creators. The creators of
the technology is pushing their brand, so they want you
to do it. But it ain't. It ain't something that
we have to deal with.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You know.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Yo, did Mariah ever try to get you to sing?

Yeah, so the song right and the your your project,
it's uh, it's it's in combination with the docu series
on Stars, right, and we're celebrating the strip club, but
not just a regular strip club. Magic City is like
Disneyland for adults.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's interesting because it's not just like for us in Atlanta.
It's more or less like the Regal Beagle, like like
on Three's Company, or like like like Chers. It's like Cheers. Yes,
it's a place where we go.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
It's also a testing ground too, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I mean it's a chest and ground. It's a place
where you go meet people, talk to people, have conversations,
you know, cut deals, everything, everything happens in Magic City. Yeah,
oh yeah, some.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Major deals can be brought to Magic City and hashed out.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah yeah, I mean like even when when wife and
Lucy got out of jail, I met him. As far
as our conversation, we had a conversation in magic and
we talked about him getting on this on me working
on his He's talking about me working on his project.
And that's where our conversation started. Inside the club, you
know what I mean. And it's just just just that's
(03:36):
that's the magic of Magic City, right.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Has that magic ever gotten you into trouble?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
No, No, you can't. Don't.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I don't think negative in that.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You can't really get in trouble with magic. You know
what I mean. You can, I mean if you bring
your own trouble, but it's not there's no trouble in there.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yeah yeah yeah. Magic City money. How much is that?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
How much of magic?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
How much is Magic City Monday? If you had to
put a dollar amount on it?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh man, I was just in the last Monday. My
man spent sixty thousand, So I don't let's see.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I beg your pardon.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Sixty sixty thousand that I mean Magic City Monday probably
they probably make one fifty probably somewhere around now. Maybe
not every night, but every other night. Magic City Monday
is about probably at least one hundred, one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So these women are entrepreneurs. These are self starters, business
small business owners.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Every day, No you need to work, this is who
you are.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah, these are entrepreneurs, small business owners, small business. But
that's that's the vibe right in this docum series documents
so much that goes on, right.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, doc the document I mean that's that documentaries are.
They show you, They show you the back side of
what is happening in the strip club and not and
I think a lot of times people think it's more
like a dark side, but it's really just like the
actual business of the strip club. You know, because the
women they have to go get permits downtown, they got
to bring they permits to Magic Show. Magic Magic then
(05:19):
has to show the city that these women that are
dancing in his club are permitted. Right, it's a real business.
It's not you just show up and you just go
and you get on the stage and just because you're pretty,
you can work here. It's a whole Yeah, you know,
it's a lot of business behind it that I wasn't
even like privy to just being a customer. You just
pay attention to what's happening on the front side of
(05:41):
the club. But it's so much going on downstairs in
the locker room and the business behind running the club,
Like that's.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Right now, there's so much more to it that you know,
regular person doesn't see.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah, we see the couches and you know, the minimal
lighting and the beautiful women, money.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And the food. Yeah, food, Supposedly. I'm vegan, so I
don't know. I don't know that the eve been vegan
all your life. I've been vegan for the last twenty
five years you had. I wasn't really a big wing
guy that used to serve like champagne shrimp, and ain't
I think they still do. They got shrimp, lobster. You
can get all this type of stuff in Magic.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
So you're vegan, right, I know, But there's still no
vegan option in strip clubs. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
They recently put an impossible burger in there for me,
that's right. Wow, Yeah, they recently put.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Like to partake, right, But yeah, they you know, We
hear that in countless interviews. As far as the food
and strip clubs, especially in Miami Atlanta, that's where like
the food is that in Vegas too?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah, Yeah, there's steaks and there's you know, there's rime,
rib and lobster.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah and all that. I mean, you know, people go
to eat. That's another thing that what I'm saying. People
just sometimes just go to Magic just to get food. Yeah, no, no,
not even paying attention to the entertainment side of it.
Just straight food.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I've done that, right, at least that's what we go
for the happy hour. There's a great keych there.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It's not the Cache bro.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I hosted a strip club in Vega.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know, I used to work in Vegas, man, I
did radio out there as well, and uh my call
time was four am you know Vegas, right, And the
event was called Eggs and Legs, and it was a
breakfast buffet strip club.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
We used to have that. We what they you know,
they would start serving omelets at like probably like four
thirty five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
That's right. Yeah, you're in line with the dancers, so
like you're behind the dancer and you guys are each
getting your stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's a sight.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know, your.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Longtime collaborator, Michael right, Michael Cox right, Michael Brian Cox.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
He wants to get married now, Oh yeah, that's what
he posted. He's ready to marry.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Oh I ain't see that.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Talk to your boy, dog, talk to your man.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What are you doing. I'm not even gonna get involved
with him. Do what you want to do, man, ready
to get mad. I'm gonna let him do what you
gotta do. Man, have you ever been there? No, that
was the quickest, not in history.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
That was faster than my mom. No, you didn't even
manage the question.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
You've never you've never wanted to be there?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Nah, I mean I don't say that I never wanted
to be there. But I'm just you know, I have
I'm a person that studies and and and have o GZ.
You know, I have people that are you know that
have told me, you know, j D, don't do it,
you know, Quincy, Quincy Jones, rest in peace. He told
me JD not to do it. Don't do it.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
He also told you to go Vegan.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
He introduced me to Les Ray.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Charles was dying and you were in the room. I was.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I was at his house. I was actually at his
house to have lunch, and just the way that his
house was preparing the food and we was having burgers actually,
but I think it was turkey burgers at the time
what we was having at his house, and just the
way that they were preparing the food, and we was
talking about health some just talking about health, and it
just was like that's when it clicked in my mind,
(09:12):
like I got to get myself together.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
He was like, Ray, Charles is dying.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Take care of yourself.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
WHOA, that's a I mean, yeah, man, that's a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Because he was taking care of Ray. He basically was
paying all the bills for like all the doctors and
he was getting like the best doctors in the world
to come take care of Ray and all of that.
So it's like he was it was really real that
that real information about it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Yeah, you know what I really appreciate about you. It's
like a comic, right.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I love comedians and I love producers, music writers, composers, DJs.
Everything you've been through in life you have turned into
a song pretty much somewhat. Yeah, anything deep, anything relationship wise,
anything that's that's on its way to hurt you, I
guess you turned into lyrics and music.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, I mean, because if it's if it's on your
mind longer than thirty forty minutes, So like if you talk,
if you're thinking about the same thing for like a
week or two weeks, I mean, you know, that means
that it's pretty heavy, right, and it's pretty heavy on
your heart. If it's pretty heavy like that, then you
got to think that it's probably You're not the only
person that's probably gone through this. And that's what I
(10:18):
learned with music is that a lot of times you
write songs, you I'm trying to write a song that
hits all of you in this room, at least at
least a big majority of you, Right, So if I
hit this whole side with a song, then it's pretty
much a hit at that point.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Nah.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
But like Usher's confessions were D's confessions yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah right, and a lot of other people's confessions, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's what I'm saying. It became not just my confessors.
It was a bunch of people's confessions outside and all
of that that was all you Yeah, yeah, crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I don't mean to get into your business, but this
is the music.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
It is.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I mean, well, it was. It was you know, it
was it was written in a way where it wasn't
one hundred percent my story, but it was all it
in and out of my weaved in and out of
my storyosition.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
But it was something that a lot of people could relate.
I couldn't relate to it, but a lot of people
could relate.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, I mean, that's that's why. I mean when we
had the first part of the song it was caught
all Bad and then Confession Part one, Yeah, part one basically,
and that song basically was saying, chick on the side
with the crib in the ride, I got so many
I've been telling so many lives. Ain't nothing good, It's
all bad. I just want to confess. And that's how
(11:35):
we got into Confessions because it was like they started
asking me the question, like, so, what happens after this story?
What happened to the girl on the side? What happened
to the chick on the side? And I'm like, hmmm,
y'all really asking me this question. I know the answer
to this. I really know the answer to this. So
it was like they started asking I'm just like, okay,
(11:56):
I I if y'all want to go here.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
With let's go. Yeah, for sure, what up, Jackie.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
You know, it's also a form of like I guess,
in a way for a lot of you know, writers
and producers. It's a form of therapy too, like that
way you just don't maybe have to go to actual therapy.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It's that, Yeah, you gotta get it out. I mean
you talk to yourself, write it, and then talk to
the world. Yeah, talk to the world and let let
the world talk back to you. And I think that's
the best therapy I've ever.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Had and maybe the cheapest money I figured it out.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Now, Jad, since we're on the topic of confessions, like,
if you're to choose between one or the other, would
you choose to listen to Confessions Part one forever or
Confessions Part two forever?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Probably one because one is more for me. It's more,
it's more visual one, you know what I mean. That's
that that is the you know, that's where I say
every time I was in l A, I was with
my ex girlfriend. Every time you call me, I tell you, baby,
I'm working. No, I'm out doing my work. I wouldn't
think about you getting hurt. I'm hand in hand in
(13:06):
the Beverly Center, like man, not giving a damn. All
of these lines are like you could start visualizing what
I'm saying. You know what I'm saying, you can start
thinking about. You can almost close your eyes and listen
to that verse and see, especially if you're from LA,
you can see everything that I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Bro Like like late nineties, you and Biggie at the
Beverly Center. I mean y'all were like staples at the
Beverly Center.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Stayed in it. I stayed in y'all lived in the
Beverly Center. I love it. You know, we come from
the Atlanta is the mall culture, you know, and people
come come go to Atlanta, they got to go to
Lennox Square. I grew up in the side of town,
the south side where it's malls. What I think, Yeah,
so Chris Cross found on the mall, So mall culture.
Going to the mall on the weekends, that was I
(13:51):
think that was like that was like broke kids Disney World.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Shopping.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You can go to the mall. You ain't got no money,
but you're walking around and you see people, you meet people.
That's how you That's what I'm saying. That was a
pre strip club.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Used to go to the mall and dance bad man.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Me and me and the homies used to go to
the mall and dance battle for.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Dancing. They break dancing.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But you know, I had to hustle because I was
selling them.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I was selling the cases back when I was like fourteen,
so that was maybe like eighteen years old, Caro. I
was selling phone cases. I was also selling like you know,
fake jewelry and whatnot. But I used that as my
spot to meet like promoters and whatnot to like understand
more about to.

up as far as like you know, working to drive through.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Or I tried to start, like cutting people's grass in
my neighborhood. I called myself creating a lawn company. But
the problem was a problem from the beginning because I
didn't own the lawn mow. Get a mama from my homeboy,
so you know what I mean. So I'm getting his
lawnmower and making him work for me. That didn't actually
(15:07):
turn out too well after a while because he started
figuring it out, Like, you don't even got a lawnmower,
you're telling me what to do? Ship, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so you figured it out. Yeah, the way I figured
out that wasn't it. I gotta had to get up
out of them. But I mean it was. It was
definitely seem like you know, if you cut people's yards
(15:28):
and you look at it before you do it, you know,
you're like, Okay, we can get maybe twenty thirty dollars
for this. Yeah, we get twenty thirty. We do you know,
we probably do two hundred dollars in a day maybe
if we if we can really do what we gotta do.
Speaker 5 (15:41):

help him do that. So I'm trying to do that now.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
There you go. No, yeah, that's right now, you know
j D I, I've seen it. I've heard it. You
go back, you always go back, Yeah, and make sure.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
People are taking care of especially if it's Atlanta. Atlanta
is like that, that's where your heart is. You make
sure Atlanta's straight when you used to. I never saw this,
but I was told that.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
In front of the airport Atlanta Airport, there was a
billboard that said.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, well, I mean welcome after you leave the airport.
I had a billboard on the right hand side to
say as you was thirty years and yeah, as you
was entering into downtown Atlanta. And I took it down
and people was complaining about me taking it down, and
so it's back up now.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Yeah, because I had heard that, like when people didn't
see it, they it didn't feel like they felt like
they weren't home.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah. Yeah. So if you go to the new video.
I just put out a new video called Magic City
Monday Money actually, and that's the song with Sean Paul
J Money Bornaby in a bank Ronine. If you the
video starts under the billboard and the video had the
whole video shot in front of the billboard. Actually, man, yeah,
that's right, that's right.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Let's take it back to that.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Man, maybe visit a waffle house or two out.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah. I went to White House last like last, Well, no,
you I can only have hash browns and they steamed.
My hash browns are steamed, and then I have to
have wheat toes dry. Yeah, So it don't sound like
white House to you. Probably does not.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It sounds like House.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
House arrested.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
That's what they were saying. It don't sound like it
don't sound like white House, but it's definitely White House.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Man.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Congratulations make it exiously. Your career is something to look at.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Man.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I remember you and Puff as well. Like it was
always like, well I could dance better than you, I
got more hits than you, Like there was always that thing.
But people are always trying to compare themselves to you
because you were the guy with the hits and making
them dance and dropping songs every summer you ran summers.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I guess I guess it's we're trying to do now.
We're trying to do that now, you know what I mean,
get back into that. I saw somebody posted something about
that like the summer this is the worst summer we've
had in hip hop history heard and I was just like, oh, nah,
you gotta we gotta you know, we gotta push the gas. Nah.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Yeah. I saw someone say like, Yo, there's no hit
for this summer, no hip hop hit for the summer.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, which is crazy.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's very crazy, especially where we come from. It's night.
I don't even know a summer to even think about
not having a song or a bunch of songs, you
know what I mean, Not in my songs. I'm talking
about other people songs.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Yeah, but no, this is why, like these the two
thousand artists, their tours were selling out.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Yeah, because people want that. We've seen it, like, people
want to party again.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
People want to feel good and sing every single word
and understand every single word.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
That so real.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
They want to they want to feel it and understand
it and understand to it.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
And that's also why there's like so many, like you said,
two thousands parties. There's R and B parties, there's my
Space party. Bro, I do a MySpace party.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
You got to pull up j Bro.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Ninety percent of the ship I play is your ship,
and it goes up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
In the clubs too.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
In Vegas, you hear a lot of Jermaine Duprie, a
lot of clubs out there because that's what brings people back.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
It's designed for that.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Understand. You know what's crazy to JD, is you know
you never really sampled either?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, I mean I sampled a lot of you did
you have?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
But a lot of hits that we know all original?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
A lot of people don't even understand that. Yeah, yeah,
I mean because I'm not. I mean, you know, I'm
very much inspired by a lot of old music, which
inspires me to make music, you know what I mean.
And that's what music is supposed to do, is supposed
to make you make music. I'm always like, how do
they get that sound? How do they get this sound?
How they get this sound? And then I'm like, if
(21:07):
I find somebody who understands how to give me that sound,
then I'm like, let's make some music, you know what
I mean. Let's make something that sounds like what has
inspired me, but let's make it our own. So yeah,
if you if you can find somebody that can make
it and give you the same dirt that you're looking
for when you listen to these other records, it's very
(21:27):
probably more you know, it's it's definitely more profitable if
you make it yourself, you all proceeds. Yeah, yeah, JD.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
What are your thoughts about like AI creeping into the
music production and just like music world in general.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Something.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, I don't really understand why it's being I mean
what I do, let me say, let me stop. It
is being pushed because the companies that are the companies
that are gonna make money off of us allowing AI
to come to life, they're the ones that's pushing it.
It's not somebody like you that's telling me JD you
should check out AI. It's never the it's never the
(22:09):
people that's on the ground that's doing this stuff. It's
the companies that own the AI companies that are pushing
this and making trying to make people believe that this
is a new wave, right. And I say this every day,
like even like iPhones, how many people in this room
have a new iPhone?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Me, if you consider fourteen, you got fourteen?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah you late, you got an old phone. That's what
I'm saying. If you go through a room, the majority
of people don't even have the most up to date iPhone.
A lot of people androids, right, well androids, even androids,
they don't have the most up to date Android. That's
my point is like, why are we talking about AI
when people still don't have up to date phones? It
a little too cool? For school. You know, it's like,
(22:50):
are we really gonna are we really ready for these
this AI situation when people, the human the human person
has not really gotten completely caught up to technology period. Right.
Everybody in their house is not. They don't have super
smart TV. People still have old flat screens.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
I have the latest typhone. I use maybe three apps.
I have the latest yphone, and I may use maybe
three apps. Three apps, No way, pretty much, I'm not
really like yeah, yeah, I really I don't. It's not
that I don't support it.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I understand it, right, but I also understand that it's
a business that's being shoved down our throats as opposed
to it being something that we have to really deal with.
It's not something that's here that's like, oh, we gotta
deal with this, right. It's just like the way More.
It's like I did a video I jumped in a
way More and all the black people in the comments, like,
(23:50):
you know, black people ain't supposed to do that, like
riding in the car where ain't nobody driving, Like you know,
that's not like that's not the thing you're supposed to
be doing, right, And even like the comments, I'm just like, okay,
so Yeah, black people not ready for this, you know
what I mean, Like, it's just what it is. It's
just what it is, you know. So black people are
not ready for Waymos already. They not ready to be
(24:10):
driving in the car where nobody's in the Mexican's real ship.
Like we're like, yo, no one's driving, Let's get the
fun out of it. I'm trying to tell you. That's
what I'm saying. It's like nobody, It's just it's just
technology is being pushed by the creators. The creators of
the technology is pushing their brand, so they want you
to do it. But it ain't. It ain't something that
we have to deal with.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You know.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Yo, did Mariah ever try to get you to sing?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, a bunch of times.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Yeah, you didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I mean I did it on Can I Get Your Number?
I'm singing, but like, you know, like fully like getting
I mean, I don't know how much more I can
sing from that. But video we I'm actually in the video.
We shot a video for Can I Get Your Number?
I'm actually sing in the video. Yeah, it's funny that
(25:02):
more people don't talk about that, but yeah, you know,
and I think a couple of it's a couple of
her songs when I'm singing background, but I you know, wow,
we don't we don't talk.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
We don't know that.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, yeah, it's not to be done.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Why not? What are you hiding behind that?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
You know it's it's that's for studio, studio.
